00:24enjoy the special tonight it's heart healthy with a teeny bit of grease maybe
00:30you should call your pawpaw and invite him down here to join us he already has
00:36plans with Shanice mom if you're about to pop off on another ramp please spare me
00:43okay the only reason I told you dad is dating was so that you can take the hint
00:48and move on yourself not so you'd obsess over it hey I am the least bit
00:54concerned about Ted and gossip nurse mama fine Shanice I'm not worried about her
01:02because she's observant doesn't miss a trick remember how she caught on when I
01:08was trying to sneak a few forbidden Christmas decorations into Peach's
01:11hospital room it was an entire Christmas tree with tinsel and lights but go off
01:16Texas whatever anyway Ted is not ready to be dating again I mean he's just rebounding
01:25hard and someone as eagle eyed as Shanice is bound to catch on to the red flags well I have
01:35no idea how those were stuck in my sofa cushions you have been living in this hotel
01:40suite alone for months so unless you have some type of women's lingerie fetish I'm
01:44not aware of no I don't those are not mine well if that's the case there's only one
01:51explanation for them being here that makes sense to me I hate to admit it but

05:51comfortable discussing this with you especially given what you did to the refugees and then getting
05:56in his face like that at the hospital yeah that wasn't cool but you can relax ashes not like i'm
06:01gonna show up at your place tonight or do anything else to disrupt our evening right

06:13ash for
06:14friends i'm not gonna mess with you like that i really wish i could trust you on that you just
06:21haven't made it really easy lately thank you it's kind of wild being offered an opportunity like the one
06:27you're laying out especially at this point in my life better grab while the grabbing's good
06:33i did give your offer a lot of thought but i just started my academic advisory gig at vanneker
06:39should be a pretty easy exit then but i don't want an exit
06:43it may not be runway status but i have lots of ideas and plans and i'm excited to see him
06:49through
06:49plus it would be really disrespectful of me to just jet in the middle of the semester
06:52you know the job market's pretty tough for college grads right now and i can't leave my seniors hanging
06:59so with all due respect i'm gonna say no can't say i'm not disappointed sorry can i ask you something
07:08sure how much did eva have to do with your decision so are you flying solo tonight my little birdie
07:17what's that man of yours up to oh he has something else going on we're gonna meet up later
07:26what spit it out nothing i mean you didn't come at me like you usually do when i say isaiah's
07:34your man
07:35i mean no lecture about how it's not that serious because we're just friends we benefit mama
07:45well as a matter of fact isaiah and i had a talk the other night and it turns out neither
07:51of us is
07:52interested in playing the field right now so so he is officially your man yeah i guess that's wonderful
08:01sweetie all this time here i was pressuring you to get it locked down before valentine's day
08:10and you already had the whole thing handled yes i didn't handle anybody but myself mama do tell
08:19well in the back of my mind i was nervous that isaiah would start listening to all the garbage cat
08:26lays
08:26out and the whole relationship will be talked then that made me jump to conclusions and get defensive with
08:31him almost blew the whole thing sweetie you are beautiful you are brilliant and you are truly a
08:40joy to be around unlike that sister the sourpuss and there's never any reason for you to feel insecure
08:52well getting rejected by tomas wasn't exactly an ego booster mama well i'm sure that not so rico suave
09:01regrets his foolishness by now i don't know about that but honestly i can't even be mad at him
09:09you can't well i can i mean think about it though tomas is the one who helped me see it
09:17was time to get real
09:18with isaiah well it's good to hear for once that tomas that lump did something useful in his life and
09:27i hope
09:28you do understand that your mama was right baby you gotta believe in yourself and everything flows when you do
09:37right if you believe that you deserve good things then you can get busy making them happen
09:45i can't believe you are admitting this this this butt floss could be leslie's okay look before you
09:50get all twisted i'm saying dana must have planted those for you to find dana hates the fact that you
09:58and i are dating she's made that clear to both of us this is the exact stunt she would pull
10:02to cause trouble and give you the wrong idea speaking of wrong ideas what would make you think
10:11they could be nicole's because of the way you looked at her tonight
10:22i don't understand what are you getting at you think somehow nicole had time to rendezvous with me
10:27in between dates with carlton and kyle no
10:33maybe okay yeah but only because you seem so surprised and unhappy that nicole was out with kyle
10:38which in my mind makes sense if you thought you and nicole were getting back together
10:41shenice if anything like that were going on between nicole and me i would have never asked
10:47you out in the first place no you wouldn't be the first guy i dated that still had a burning
10:52desire
10:52for his ex which honestly that part i can understand nicole was the love of your life
10:59but the marriage is over nicole and i have moved on dana's the one who can't seem to do that
11:04i'll put
11:05money on it she's the one who stuffed the underwear in my sofa cushions have you let her in recently
11:15no then how would leslie get in here bribery i wouldn't put a pastor to wave money at an employee
11:23or make up some crazy story about how she needed to get in here just like she got past you
11:30at the
11:30hospital pretending to be a new nurse on the floor don't remind me of that episode i still feel bad
11:35about it i swear to you when i see her i'm gonna give her hell this is absolutely unacceptable
11:43but you know what let's not give her the satisfaction of mourning all night huh
11:52i'm gonna go shenice no no it's it's not even about the underwear i believe you about that part
11:59but the vibe was off between us even before then i wish i could make you understand ted stop
12:06i saw what i saw and as much as i like you i never want to feel like i'm someone's
12:11consolation prize
12:15i know that eva and you are friends she's my girlfriend actually it's no secret that eva and
12:22her mother have their own history with my family i hope she's not discouraging you from taking this
12:28opportunity simply because it's coming from a dupree aside from her reminding me she likes my looks
12:34eva didn't weigh in it's my decision then you're turning it down it's probably hard for somebody
12:40like you to understand why i do that somebody like me maybe i should just come at you on a
12:46real tip
12:48facts are it wasn't easy for me to get to where i'm at right now i mean there's a whole
12:52lot of
12:52alternate universes out there in which i messed up just as bad as people thought i would so for the
12:57time being i'm good with appreciating what i got and helping the kids i work with find the same kind
13:04of satisfaction surprising though it may be i do understand you're practicing what you preach it's
13:13the kids you counsel showing them the importance of following your truth so that you can get the life
13:18you really want they're lucky to have you thank you and i hope that means that you'd be willing to
13:26speak to the occasional student who's interested in fashion of course and uh you know if for whatever
13:32reason circumstances change and you want to reconsider the offer still stands well i'll keep that in mind
13:42take care isaiah you too oh you make a splendid martini andre but a less splendid subterfuge artist
13:51you think i'm hiding something tell me how you arranged to meet with tatum in new york i didn't arrange
13:58anything we ran into each other on the street please i swear i'm telling the truth
14:07we're old friends but it's been a minute since i hung out with tatum so we went to get coffee
14:12and she
14:13already knew about me and danny's wedding since the vegas pig so when the subject of modeling came up i
14:18told her that danny would be open to do it again modeling you are the best husband well it's not
14:26like
14:27it was a hard sell danny is the perfect fit for tatum's new line but we both know how she'd
14:33react if she
14:34heard that the idea was mine to start out with oh it's stubborn dupree pride danny has it in spades
14:40she would spit nails if she thought anyone was pulling strings on her behalf and this was nowhere
14:46near that i barely even floated the idea but tatum was right there with it but i did tell her
14:53that
14:53she probably would have better luck if she kept my name out of it i see yeah so did tatum
15:00mess up the
15:00plan did she spill how did you catch on well tatum let it slip that she ran into you in
15:06new york and i
15:07put the pieces together but don't worry i'm not going to say anything to danny after danny makes
15:12her decision then we'll let her know how the offer happened yes i just don't want to be the one
15:16to
15:16make her turn it down oh as it is we're going to have our work cut out for us convincing
15:21danny to
15:21say yes she's got so much on her plate with what with her mother's illness and finding out she carries
15:27the same bronca gene yeah danny definitely needs some positivity in her life for sure she can't keep
15:33dwelling on that agreed so you work on your end i'll work on mine we'll make this happen
15:44thank you just keep it all
15:52oh so what are we having well my original plan was to order traditional danish cuisine but
15:58not only can i not pronounce words like starnis cloth and more brat gruta i didn't think that a big
16:04plate
16:04of fried pork belly or calf liver would really fit the vibe i'm going for it's probably more in keeping
16:10with a valentine's theme to go heart healthy anyway but i think you'll be happy with the menu all your
16:16faves just to show that i've been paying attention my grand says that that's the key to long lasting
16:22love wow two short distance romance clearly the best kind just you wait we'll find ways to make
16:30long distance just as romantic and exciting well if anyone can crack that code it's you
16:41okay you know what i i think i should just wait for my food somewhere else ashley
16:47things are really intense between us and i know it's my fault how can i fix it well for starters
16:55you
16:55could stop being so weird around grayson am i really the only one that sees it i don't know what
17:02you're
17:02talking about there's something off with the guy okay how convenient that you're suspicious of the guy that
17:09i'm dating it's got nothing to do with tell me this is your unbiased opinion you want me to admit
17:13i'm
17:13jealous of the guy i am but this isn't that you're just making excuses i was jealous as hell of
17:22andre but
17:22i knew he was basically a good guy but with grayson it's different okay
17:32what exactly is your problem with him it's hard to describe he's slick no no he's he's shady
17:42oh it's it's like he's hiding something okay tell me you know that you're projecting right now i mean
17:49you accusing someone of hiding something okay all right i know how it sounds okay all right but i'm
17:54telling you it is a bad idea to trust that guy derek i can't i can't ash i've always had
18:02good instincts
18:02about people you know that look if it's this hard for you to see me moving on then maybe we
18:09should
18:09just keep our distance for now oh am i mixing these because we're celebrating or because we're defeated
18:16well the news isn't great isaiah turned us down oh no why we're fabulous any model would have a
18:24brain cell would want to work with us that's the problem he doesn't see himself as a model he likes
18:28the job he has ah which is the counselor at banneker helping students to discover their true calling in
18:35life well that's beautiful and fabulous but for what i mean mid five figures maybe it's what he wants
18:44oh well all right well that's a shame but it's all right because when one door closes another
18:49extremely attractive one opens to tell i got a call today from tatum stewart tatum stewart tatum is a
18:59hugely talented designer i'm aware you know the thing i like best about tatum
19:04is that she started out working for these big fashion houses but recently she struck out on her
19:08own created our own label yeah pamela was just filling me in before you got home so she's looking
19:14for models one in particular you tatum wants danny dupree to be the face of her new line me what
19:25are you
19:26serious tatum has very wisely targeted women of a certain income bracket which means women of a certain
19:33vintage they'll remember your earlier successes and be thrilled to see you coming back for your
19:38second act living life to the fullest which is exactly the spirit tatum wants to capture in her
19:44new designs the bold choices the the joie de vivre and who better to represent that than you
19:52oh this is the last thing i imagine i i gotta wrap my head around it of course of course
19:58of course i will leave the two of you to discuss love you bye love you thanks pam oh my
20:08word

20:17i am going to be consulting with a landscape architect soon about the new house that's great mama you
20:24should come give your input well i don't think i would have much to contribute considering i've never
20:31even had a yard and that is exactly why you should come honey come on we didn't have these things

20:40you were growing up but now we can right and there's the spot in the back where i want to
20:45put like this

20:57wooden canopy thingy that's what i want that and the fountain and statues of perfect male specimens
21:10that i can just stare at while i am finding my center mama you don't meditate that's when you are
21:19wrong

24:17it
24:17you know i feel about wallowing i did wallowing now i'm pondering whole other category
24:25share the ponder how much do you know about this guy grace
24:35what is your most used emoji
24:42ashley derek and i used to take these quizzes all the time
24:47thinking they would confirm if we were right for each other
24:52they always did
24:56so they were wrong
24:59ask safe questions get safe answers
25:04what do you want to ask me tell me something true
25:10you can't do that
25:16sometimes it hurts to remember how i was when i was a kid
25:22so open and honest i used to tell people when i grew up i wanted to be a pharmacist because
25:28that's
25:29what i thought you'd call it when you work on a farm
25:34well that's adorable
25:37no one ever corrected you
25:38no they took me at my word
25:42they sent me to a bunch of science camps
25:45now i work in a lab
25:47do you ever still wish you were a farmer
25:51sometimes
25:55do you ever wish you were still with derek
26:02truth
26:05no
26:10truth
26:13i'm not always a good guy
26:16and i am so sick of being a good girl
26:21seems like we're a perfect fit
26:28that food slapped like for real for real
26:33look at you with the gen z talk
26:35i thought you might like that
26:37but i think you mean to say that the food was
26:39lecha
26:40oh my god you were really trying to learn danish
26:43well of course i may not be moving with you to denmark but i do still plan on coming to
26:47visit and
26:48i'm gonna have to be able to get around
26:51but my favorite phrase that i've learned thus far is
26:59something to do with gifts
27:01look it up on your phone
27:03okay
27:05okay translator app where are you oh here it is
27:08okay go on
27:11that's will you

27:22gift that's will you marry me
27:24will you marry me
27:57i gotta go
27:58wait what's going on
28:01oh my god i can't really get into it
28:09thank you
28:12for everything
28:23it's hard to describe he's slick no no he's shady it's like he's hiding something
28:33why are you asking me about grayson he rubs me the wrong way there's something about him he seems
28:41evasive slick in a bad way i don't know derek i can see why grayson might be uncomfortable chatting
28:47it up with ashley's grouch ex
28:49so you just think what ashley thinks that i'm jealous and biased and looking for something to
28:55be wrong with the guy maybe maybe your time and energy might be better spent on your own
29:00love life derek i hope you know i'm really rooting for you i feel the same about you
29:07i hope ted gets his act together
29:13what's going on
29:13what's that about
29:14we have to reset the clock
29:16which clock
29:17days since my mom wanted to do something insane
29:21look we're back at zero and you wonder why i have trust issues
29:24uh you want to back up tell me what's going on
29:27just brace yourself
29:29so my dad is dating someone new and my mom isn't handling it well
29:34what's so odd about that she snuck into his hotel room and planted a pair of panties in there
29:40to try to make the other woman believe that her and my dad are doing it behind her back
29:49that's not funny yeah but it could be so much worse i mean i was half expecting you to say
29:54she put
29:55itch and powder or bed bugs in the sheets that's not a comforting thought since it's probably what
30:00she'll do next but now that you know i come from crazy you're probably wondering what the hell
30:06you've got yourself into it's okay you don't have to answer in danish chelsea the ring is stunning
30:14but didn't we agree that it's way too early in the relationship for this we agreed that it was
30:18a bad idea to blurt out a proposal in a state of panic but that's not what this is
30:25i am asking you to marry me after lots of careful consideration because i am so excited for our
30:33future and i know that we can get through anything even through you turning me down if it comes to
30:40that
30:41chelsea i'm the happiest with you than i've ever been and we've gotten through some really difficult
30:48issues but right now things are so up in the air
30:58you don't actually think i'm gonna be scared off by your mom do you
31:02i know people have advised you to avoid both of us and i know it hasn't just been cat those
31:08same
31:08people have probably tried telling you to cut ties with her or testify against her i could never do
31:14that why not because she raised me and she took good care of me most of the time and even
31:22though she
31:22stresses me out i never want her to feel like she doesn't have anybody to turn to
31:28i have friendships like that people my family would not want me around but you know what
31:35they looked out for me when i needed it most
31:38so i would never turn my back on them and i wouldn't ask you to do that to your mom
31:42if
31:43that's what you were thinking isaiah you have no idea how much that means to me
31:48but i don't think you get just how wild she can be mama can really go off the rails sometimes
31:56like when we moved here i was all about her stories i mean who else did i have so i
32:03stood by her
32:04but once i met my dad i slowly realized how sucked in i'd gotten and now i can see just
32:12how deep her
32:13crazy is and that's something you've always had to deal with on your own isn't it yeah well guess what
32:23not anymore you have me and eva i'm all in 100 percent
32:34i guess the question is now that you're going to be the face of her new line
32:39how do you feel about tatum's work she is talented of course i haven't seen anything from the new line
32:46but judging from her past work it'll be fabulous she's well styles just like pamela said it's bold
32:52it's fun loving she never plays it safe sounds just like someone else i know there's no wonder why
32:58she wants you to be her muse i am honored that tatum wants me but i'm just not sure about
33:05the timing
33:06i don't want nicole or my parents to feel like i'm bailing on them in a crisis i'm going to
33:11stop
33:11you right there i'm sure none of them will feel that way if anything they'll be excited that you're
33:16reviving your career after all those years of taking a back seat to bill besides tatum wants you
33:23at least that's the impression that i got from pamela and that means that you could probably negotiate
33:29for some accommodations to keep you closer to home whenever possible why are you so eager to make this
33:37happen because i still feel bad that you gave up the forest of creation shoot for my sake you
33:44shouldn't but it felt like the opportunity of a lifetime and now you have another one so
33:53whatever i have to do to make this easier that's what i'll do you have no idea how grateful i
33:59am to

34:15our relationship is about to become long distance we don't know how that's going to work out
34:20we don't know how but we know it will because we never give up and we're always trying to be
34:27the best
34:28for each other i can't argue with that yeah and we don't pretend like there isn't a problem until it
34:36blows up like my parents so i know this is all happening really fast but i could look for the
34:45next 50
34:46years and i know i will never find a better partner that i would want to do life with
34:53i feel the same way and i know that you're a planner and i love that about you
