00:30Mother is in so much pain he's worried she might give up.
00:33Do you think she'd do that?
00:35Sometimes people in pain say things that they don't truly mean.
00:38With Mother in treatment and on medication now,
00:41I expect her state of mind has improved considerably.
00:45You've made a decision.
00:48What is it?
00:50I spoke with Dr. McCormick,
00:53who gave me an inspiring pep talk about one of her patients.
01:00Glad it made an impression.
01:02And the meds are also kicking in,
01:06so the pain is starting to subside.
01:09Even better.
01:11But it's not enough, Vernon.
01:15One person's success is another person's definition of failure.
01:21The relief that I'm feeling right now will wear off,
01:24and the effects of the chemo will only intensify with each new round.
01:31And before you know it,
01:33I'll be right back where I was when you wheeled me in here.
01:36Sweetheart,
01:38there are ways to get ahead of this.
01:40Now, I know the side effects
01:43were more debilitating than we anticipated.
01:47No.
01:47No, you don't.
01:50Nor do I ever want you to.
01:52I asked the hospital to prepare a DNR.
01:57I'm stopping the chemo.
02:00Vernon, I'm going to let the cancer take its course.
02:03I'm going to let the cancer take its course.
02:32I want to let the cancer take its course.
02:37something bad happened i know it hey come on cat don't let your imagination glom up to worst
02:42case scenarios i'm sure your grandmother's fine then why hasn't my mom called maybe she's busy

03:33wise have been officially dismissed you called a miracle on that way man that's what i do
03:37and now that you're a junior partner i expect you to use your network to do the same
03:45this is who i remember throwing back drinks having a good kiki while the sun is still shining
03:51i was beginning to nipping that new tax bracket suck the life out of you girl i am still her

04:12mm-hmm thank you and i may have indulged in a little horizontal activity
04:17lynette wise you've been here for a hot little minute who's the lucky guy
04:25hmm your cousin
04:29these past few days have been awful i know that but that doesn't mean you stop treatment doesn't mean you
04:38give up
04:39i'm making a choice i won't keep battling cancer if it's going to be like this sweetheart you can't predict
04:49it
04:49that this torture will get even more agonizing given the past it's a safe guess
04:57anita
04:58i have had an amazing life one that has surpassed my wildest dreams
05:04i've seen the world saying to sold-out audiences married the love of my life and raised a beautiful family
05:11why are you speaking in the past tense
05:15because chemo has taught me something
05:18that i care more about the quality
05:20of my life than its length
05:24these treatments are destroying my body
05:26and my spirit
05:30i will have painkillers on hand
05:35but i will live the remaining
05:38days
05:39as i see fit
05:42remaining
05:43that way
05:45i will go out on my own terms
05:48rather than suffer
05:51for god knows how long
05:54until the inevitable happens
05:56it is not fair to me
05:58or you
06:01now i want you to ask danny and nicole
06:03to come in here
06:05i want them to witness me signing the dnr
06:14you and randy
06:15makes me think he has some type of ulterior motives
06:20unless you put him up to something
06:22wait you think i suggest that he spin the block
06:25what do i get out of that
06:26i don't know it's strange
06:29i mean his sudden interest
06:31especially since he's all up into church now
06:37randy
06:38uh-uh unless there's some high stakes bingo games in the basement
06:43that can't be true
06:44i swear
06:46he told me that he's going to services and everything
06:50it's like that man is at war with who he is versus who he wants to be
06:53how else would you explain that behavior
06:57he's either going through a midlife crisis
06:59or he's working the angle
07:01what do you think
07:04oh here we go look
07:05i gotta get back at it
07:09if kat needs me you tell us you can call me
07:11and if you need more time with her tonight

09:24it's not fair
09:25i've always uh struggled with communication

10:28uh in a bit
10:30what's happening
10:31uh the meds and fluids have brought her pain down so she's doing better in body
10:42but
10:44in her mind
10:46in her mind
10:48daddy
10:51it seems your mother has
10:54lost her will to live
10:55well that's common in cancer patients to go into a full depression
11:00mother will get past that
11:02she wants to quit her chemotherapy
11:04what
11:04if she does that the cancer's gone
11:07she intends to sign a do not resuscitate order
11:11oh come on
11:13she wants to die on her own terms
11:16she wants to give up
11:18you can't let her do that
11:21i haven't been able to stop anita from doing what she wants
11:25a day in our lives
11:29she wants you both there when she signs
11:33well we will change her mind
11:35yes we will
11:36this will not be the end
11:41at this point i'll take all the help i can get
11:51look the only agenda randy has is satisfying his own horniness
11:56if he's got some maniacal plan that involves getting you in his bed i don't know about it
12:01look i got your damn charges dropped don't i deserve some credit you came through
12:04i can't deny it i've always had your back like that time in new york
12:11well
12:12when you distracted that renter cop so that i could boost those designer bags
12:16oh i still remember his breasts
12:18we had fun
12:20didn't we
12:21the best time
12:23oh and you looked out for me too
12:25for sure
12:26remember barry
12:29how could you leave those credit cards laying around that man's house when you had them in his name
12:33girl
12:34but you know what
12:35you came through
12:36and that's when i knew
12:38you were my ride or die
12:41we'd take those fools for as much as possible
12:44as long as we could
12:48and then i met bill
12:52and
12:52you know that's when i realized
12:55there was more to life than
12:57than the con
12:59copy of your will as requested
13:01oh
13:01feeling okay
13:03yeah
13:03yeah
13:04i feel fine physically but i've just been reminded that even the most formidable of us aren't immortal
13:09and i want to make sure it's up to date
13:11i understand
13:12you always advise clients to revise their wills with any life changes
13:17let me know if you need anything else

14:08i spoke with anita
14:12i didn't overstep
14:13she called me in
14:15okay
14:16is she more optimistic about treatment
14:18you know we didn't
14:19even talk about the chemo
14:22she was more interested in giving me
14:23words of wisdom
14:25yeah
14:26almost felt like
14:27she was saying goodbye
14:30yeah i see that in patience
14:31when they fear they won't be around much longer
14:33they try to pour out as many gems as possible before it's too late
14:36i hope she's wrong
14:39she did say some things that
14:41resonated though
14:42you know
14:42it's not too late to course correct
14:44and
14:45yeah in what way
14:47being more involved with my kids and my grandkids
14:49for one
14:51we lost our connection since the split
14:53and it's
14:54up to me to rectify
14:56i could also
14:57spend more quality time with you
14:59hmm
15:01like
15:01dinner
15:02this weekend
15:03bigger
15:04look i know
15:06we're new
15:06and people have their opinions
15:08but i don't care
15:11let's take a vacation together
15:15please tell us
15:16daddy misunderstood
15:18you do not want to die
15:20right
15:22everyone's days on this earth
15:23are finite
15:24baby
15:24but you are actively trying to shorten yours
15:28i am making the most
15:29of what i have left
15:31the good ones
15:33not days like today
15:36i spoke with bill
15:37and with ted
15:40it's the first of many conversations i plan to have with the people in my life
15:45i do not intend
15:46to leave here
15:48with unfinished business
15:49so what
15:51you're embarking on a farewell life tour
15:53like you're hitting stadiums with the articulets
15:56saying your last goodbyes
15:58nicole don't be upset
15:59i know that cancer is unbearable
16:02but mother you will get past this
16:04you know that
16:05no
16:06i don't
16:08and you cannot speak to this misery
16:10unless you have lived it
16:12so then why don't we connect you with some cancer survivors
16:15maybe hearing their stories will help
16:17a handful of stories is not going to change my mind
16:21i won't continue subjecting myself to this brutal treatment
16:25especially when there are no guarantees i'll live
16:28mother you cannot
16:29vernon
16:30i did not ask you to bring them in here for them to try to change my mind
16:36i love you far too much to just let you make such a colossal mistake
16:44i know this is a shock
16:46and i know it seems unfair
16:50but you have to trust me
16:53nicole you remember that binder i gave you
16:55with instructions for after i'm gone
16:59how long have you been planning this
17:01it was supposed to be
17:03a last resort
17:05if treatment
17:06failed
17:09you insisting on giving up
17:10and not fighting for your life
17:11was not part of the deal
17:12so no
17:13i am not upholding a thing
17:16if this is the decision you're making
17:22hey babe
17:25you are the sexiest man i've ever met
17:30you know that
17:35what's wrong
17:36well i'm just in a mood
17:39oh okay well
17:41how about i change it
17:50or not
17:54what if i i listen
17:56bottling up whatever you're feeling won't help
18:01anita's battle with cancer isn't going well
18:05i just don't understand
18:08she seemed so strong in her interview
18:10you know i was thinking
18:11if anita actually
18:14dies
18:16yes
18:18i don't know how chelsea and naomi
18:19will be able to handle it
18:20i'd probably fall apart myself
18:23that's understandable
18:24i mean anita has always been like a mother to you
18:28yeah
18:29if
18:30that happens
18:32i'll be here to put you back together
18:35danny tested positive for that broca gene
18:37i had a stroke which puts me at risk for all sorts of issues
18:40and not to mention that weird blood test
18:42that's reminding me that things can change at any time
18:45just
18:48as much as i hate to admit it
18:50i'm already vulnerable
18:52you know i may not be here for the
18:54kids i already have
18:56not to mention a brand new human you and i could bring into the world
19:00what are you saying
19:02with all this to consider
19:05i'm not sure i want to
19:07have another child anymore
19:11is this the female client you mentioned before
19:14the one whose case haley got billed to do pro bono
19:17same one
19:18and he got the charges dropped
19:21but i just can't
19:23shake the suspicion that there's more to her story than she's letting on
19:27what's bothering you about it
19:28whenever you're prepping a defense the first step is a background check
19:32usually that report would show
19:34former addresses
19:36jobs schools
19:37outstanding debt
19:38things like that
19:39and hers
19:40her client report came back showing hardly anything
19:43a birth certificate
19:44a single job in her entire employment history
19:47is it possible she's only ever worked and lived in one place
19:51maybe but
19:52we also run checks on a client's digital footprint
19:55usually that'll turn up
19:56website subscriptions
19:58several social media accounts
20:00but this woman
20:00one account
20:01with a couple of posts
20:03that is weird
20:04i don't know anybody who's that far off the grid
20:07you don't think i'm overreacting
20:09not at all
20:11i've heard enough crime podcasts to know
20:14nobody's spotless unless they're hiding something
20:17she probably had a completely different identity
20:20before coming to you
20:22i had fun the other night
20:24is that all i am
20:25just
20:27fun
20:28um
20:29what do you want me to say
20:30i had the thrill of my life
20:33that you rocked my world
20:37that my body remembers
20:39still how you made it feel
20:41you're hot
20:42we fit
20:46me too
20:51but then on the other hand
20:52wasn't it you who just said
20:54what was it
20:54that you were immune to me
20:56and then out of the blue
20:57you want to start showing public displays of affection
21:00so what happened lover
21:03what can i say
21:04people get urges
21:05right
21:05so it was just a simple what
21:07biological reaction
21:09nothing more
21:10nothing less
21:11come on randy
21:12i know when you're working with angle
21:14either you tell me now
21:16or i find out
21:18i'll make you pay for it
21:20do you really expect me to believe
21:22my logical
21:23type a
21:25firstborn daughter
21:26will let things fall apart
21:28if i don't die the way she wants
21:30i need her
21:31not for one second
21:32will i entertain the thought
21:33that you will let this family down
21:35because you're not getting your way
21:37not getting our way
21:38you're the one being selfish
21:40danny
21:41no no
21:41you would deprive us of
21:42what could be decades more time with you
21:44because you're having a rough week
21:46and what happens if the cancer comes back
21:49or if this chemo doesn't even work
21:52or that the next round
21:54breaks me down even more
21:57you want to see your mother wither away
21:59to the place where you're feeding me
22:01and clothing me
22:02and bathing me
22:03and is that what you want for your mother
22:05i said in sickness
22:07and in health
22:08and i meant every word
22:10vernon this isn't
22:11if if she stopped
22:14could she resume chemo again
22:16yes
22:17but this is an aggressive cancer
22:20which requires
22:21an aggressive treatment
22:22with every session you miss mother
22:25it becomes more likely
22:26that the cancer will spread
22:32i know you all don't agree with me
22:35and that's fine
22:38but i hope
22:39one day you'll understand
22:43why i can't keep letting them
22:45pump that dreadful chemical
22:47into my body
22:58what do you think about joshua tree
23:00nothing but open sky
23:02and beautiful desert for miles
23:03imagine us
23:05cozying up in a sleeping bag
23:07looking up at the night stars
23:10let me make sure i'm understanding correctly
23:13because it sounds like you're suggesting camping
23:17you want me
23:17shaniece to sleep on the ground
23:19with dirt and bugs
23:22you know they do have these things called
23:25tents

23:57you in a bikini
23:58now that gets my attention
24:02so you're giving up on us having a baby
24:05it's not like i don't love the idea of making a bill junior
24:09or even an adorable mini hayley
24:11but you know i'd want to give them the world
24:14but if i'm not around you could end up raising our kid alone
24:16listen i've had fears and doubts about getting pregnant again

24:25this isn't a decision
24:27we have to make today
24:29okay
24:30yeah
24:30thanks for being so understanding

24:42only when you're ready
24:45okay
24:46okay
24:51women love questioning a good thing
24:53there's nothing going on here except soul snatching sex

25:00and the caliber of women that come into the casino
25:02are not exactly checking for the hired help
25:04you feel me
25:06is that your roundabout way of saying that you're lonely
25:08i am
25:10and it
25:12it took a while for me to own it
25:14but there is still something about you
25:18and after all this time

25:32and you and i both know how loose lips she gets
25:35when that look at your sister
25:38so i'm gonna give you one more chance
25:40to admit
25:42what's going on
25:46seems you can't think of one good reason to keep up the good fight
25:51so i'm gonna name a few
25:54first
25:56your granddaughter's wedding
25:59chelsea will be the picture of perfection
26:01and i know you want to be there to choose her gown
26:04and to see chelsea and madison share their first dance
26:07not to mention getting all the juicy gossip from chelsea's messy influencer friends
26:13you really want her to start that next phase of her life without the presence of her grandmother
26:18and then there's all that work you did for samantha in her debut
26:22i know for a fact you don't want to miss seeing her get crowned platinum deb in front of anastasia
26:27and her granddaughter
26:28she goes by chelsea now reminds me a little rat
26:32soon after tyrell

26:46we might even bring down jilly from philly
26:52you may think it's finished
26:54but there are many more chapters
26:57in the book of debris
27:01don't you want to see what happens next
27:06do you think that maybe she's been lying about who she is this entire time
27:11was the case serious
27:14serious enough that a conviction would have meant multiple years in prison
27:17yeah
27:19was it lynette wise embezzlement
27:21can't confirm
27:23privileged
27:24well
27:25let's just say i'm right since i usually am
27:28what does bill think
27:30i showed him that barely anything came up in our due diligence
27:35he just shrugged it off and said that happens occasionally
27:38after that
27:40he got the charges dropped
27:42why would he do that
27:44apparently it was a request from hayley
27:48since this client was with her when she was mugged
27:52hayley felt like she owed her
27:55hmm
27:57now this is definitely shady
28:01what did hayley say
28:03what do you think she said
28:04lynette
28:05don't play games with me
28:07did you tell her about us
28:08because i sure didn't
28:10it turns out you don't kiss and tell
28:13hayley doesn't know a thing
28:15the way i live my life
28:17is nobody's business but mine
28:20i wouldn't tell hayley anything
28:21she'd probably just run back and tell you
28:23yeah with intel you probably fed her
28:25okay you need to relax
28:26have another drink
28:27nobody is out to get you
28:29look i'm working an honest job at the casino

28:37now we can keep going back and forth
28:42or we can go do something we both really enjoy
28:45it's your call
28:50losing anita would be a ripple effect on the entire family
28:55if that happens chelsea and naomi will need you and
28:59look you can't be there for them if you're busy with a newborn i get it
29:03i don't even know what to say

30:18well if there isn't a signature it's not valid
30:21danielle
30:22no mother
30:24no
30:28give it to me
30:38it's okay
30:39we just have to trust that your mother is making the right decision for herself
30:47even if it breaks all our hearts
30:50the best decision ever made was marrying me
30:54thank you for the beautiful life you gave me
31:13oh
31:16oh
31:17oh
31:18oh
31:19oh
31:19oh
31:19oh
31:20oh
31:20oh
31:28Look, I got things going on, so what does your highness need now?
31:31Okay, newsflash.
31:33Now, this gonna sound crazy, but I am so grateful for Danny.
31:39Thanks to those airhead daughters she gave him and her crappy DNA,
31:43Bill no longer wants me to push out his big-ass baby.
31:48Okay, as if you could actually do that, you still sneaking the pill?
31:51Of course. You still hooking out with Lynette?
31:56Yeah, she told me a little notice would have been nice.
31:59What did you expect I was gonna do?
32:01I told you I would keep Lynette in check, and she's hell-bent on staying in town,
32:06so this way I get this thing in her head and a bed.
32:10So pillow talk espionage is your grand plan?
32:13But Lynette ain't dumb. She's more suspicious now than ever.
32:18And what's this about you going to church?
32:20Never mind that. Look, she tried to trick me by implying that you got tipsy and let our plans slip.
32:27The fact that she's still questioning us after getting everything she wants only means one thing.
32:33You're right. She's a threat.
32:37And now that the U.S. Attorney is no longer pursuing the case, I'm expected to just move on.
32:44Speaking from personal experience, that's difficult when you know someone isn't being held responsible for their crimes.
32:51Hmm. Feels like I've been played.
32:55So what are you gonna do?
32:58Not sure. But I know I want the full story.
33:02So you seriously rather spend the night with lions, tigers, and bears than room service and functional bathrooms?
33:09Okay, how about we meet in the middle? Have you ever heard of glamping?
33:14You would think all of the years of me rejecting his camping idea would have made an impression.
33:20Ted, not all women think that roughing it in the wilderness is fun.
33:24See? She gets it.
33:26We all have our own definitions of R&R.
33:31Mother told me that she had a chat with you.
33:34Ah, yes. She gave me the push I needed.
33:37Although I didn't love how it came about.
33:41Janice, I know you're aware of the decision my mother was facing.
33:45I'm happy to relay that she has changed her mind.
33:49She is gonna keep fighting for her life.
33:51Hopefully we have her around for many, many years to come.
33:55All right.
34:00What are you doing here?
34:01I got your text.
34:03Figured I'd come in person to tell you mom's doing better.
34:05Oh, okay. Good. Thanks for the update, but you could have just called.
34:11Today was hard.
34:13And after I talked, I figured you were the right person to come to.
34:20You know, mother's always been this pillar of strength.
34:23Even in hard times, she's maintained composure.
34:27She stood tall, leaned on her principles.
34:32But today, she wanted to give up.
34:38She wanted to quit chemo and let whatever would happen, happen.
34:44I'm trying to convince her to stay with us.
34:47I'm glad you did.
34:51I mean, this whole thing has got me in some sort of existential crisis, too.
34:57In what way?
35:00No.
35:02Hayley and I have been, you know, talking about trying for a baby.
35:06But I'm having second thoughts.
35:08You know, it hit home that I might not even be around to raise him or her.
35:12So now you have an upset wife on top of everything else?
35:16No.
35:17Actually, she was surprisingly understanding.
35:21She sees how affected I am by Anita's condition.
35:25She knows, like everyone else, your mother's one in a million.
35:29You fight dirty.
35:32Getting the girls to remind me of all the things I have to look forward to.
35:36It was a, by any means, necessary situation.
35:41I've always been able to find the silver lining.
35:45To see the glasses half full.
35:48You've met a new version of yourself today.
35:51This illness is changing me.
35:55And the pain will come back.
35:58And we'll do whatever it takes to make you comfortable as you fight this.
36:03Okay.
36:06Thank you for not giving up.
