00:17I was hoping I'd see you.
00:20Makes one of us.
00:22Bill told me the news.
00:24I don't know what you're talking about, Haley.
00:26Which probably makes two of us.
00:28About your mother.
00:28The matriarch of the family Dupree.
00:31Star of the stage screen in Fairmont Crest.
00:35From Cabrini-Green to the cancer ward.
00:39It's a little sooner for an obituary, Haley.
00:42I heard you've got it too.
00:45What's that feel like?
00:47Knowing what you know now and being so close to death and all?
00:51I have the gene abnormality.
00:53Not a diagnosis.
00:54Well, it's just a matter of time.
00:56You know, it's like this brockaging thing is just a warning bell.
01:01Hurry up and pack your bags because you're going places from the hospital to the funeral home.
01:07What a horrible thing to say.
01:09No, I get it.
01:10Scared to death, especially since Chelsea and Naomi may have...
01:14Best results.
01:16I have them.
01:19Right here.
01:21Where did you get that?
01:22You know, I thought it would be fun for us to read them together.
01:27You know, like they used to do those daddy reveals on TV.
01:32Chelsea and Naomi.
01:34Oh, wait.
01:36Are they genetic mutants?
01:38No.
01:41Open it, Danny.
01:44I don't want it.
01:45The answers are right there.
01:47Look within.
01:49Take it, Danny.
01:50What's stopping you?
01:52I don't want it.
01:54Fine.
01:55If you don't want it, don't take it.
01:58What was that about?
02:11Where have you been?
02:12You left the house before I even got up.
02:14What took you so long to get to work?
02:16And yet, here you are making more herbal tea for me.
02:20I asked the valet to call when you were on the way.
02:23You're not worried that I'm sneaking around on you?
02:25No, silly.
02:26Well, you know I'd kill you if you did.
02:28Well, I won't mention your competition by name,
02:32but I'm sure you'll recognize the bag.
02:35Orphe jeans.
02:36Ah, I should have guessed.
02:37Yeah.
02:38Yeah, I just picked up some food for Chelsea.
02:42And grabbed a pastry or two for yourself?
02:45I'll share.
02:46You know, just wanted to take her something to eat,
02:49see if she needed anything.
02:50I checked in with Naomi as well.
02:52Aw.
02:53Such lucky girls to have a dad like you.
02:56How are they doing?
02:58Waiting anxiously to find out if they're carrying that damn gene.
03:02I mean, it's better to know than to not.
03:05Yeah, you're right.
03:06Now we know what the danger is,
03:08we can arm ourselves against the villain.
03:11Hear, hear.
03:13Yeah, it's just, you know, it's just the attitude that I have to take now.
03:17For her sake.
03:18Well, have some tea.
03:20For your sake.
03:22No.
03:24I'm not going to drink any more of your poison.
03:41I'm not going to drink any more of your poison.
03:42I'm not going to drink any more of your poison.
03:43I'm not going to drink any more of your poison.
03:44I'm not going to drink any more of your poison.
03:44I'm not going to drink any more of your poison.
03:45I'm not going to drink any more of your poison.
03:46I'm not going to drink any more of your poison.
03:46I'm not going to drink any more of your poison.
03:47I'm not going to drink any more of your poison.
03:49I'm not going to drink any more of your poison.
03:52I'm not going to drink any more of your poison.
04:09I would not dream of letting you drink alone.
04:18Vanessa, do I detect a note of disappointment?
04:23You were hoping I was someone else.
04:26It's a long story.
04:28Don't tell me. It starts with a man all the best ones do.
04:33Before this goes any further...
04:36Good morning. Have a seat and take a breath.
04:38You don't summon me.
04:40If you want a meeting, you extend an invitation and make it appealing.
04:46Bought your mimosa?
04:47Not my drink of choice.
04:50That's right. You are a dark liquor kind of man. It's too early.
04:55So, what do you sip first thing?
04:58You'll never need to know.
05:02Challenging me to satisfy my curiosity.
05:06However, I will give you plenty of warning before scheduling our meetings going forward.
05:14The legal entity of the clinic is in place once those documents are signed and filed.
05:19Our business is concluded.
05:22No further meetings required.
05:25Oh, you thought this was the end, Mr. Armstrong?
05:30This is just the start of a very fruitful relationship.
05:37Yes.
05:40No one told me you were such a comedian.
05:44See me laughing?
05:45No.
05:46Nor do I see a future with you in it.
05:50The Leslie Thomas Outreach Project is going to be around for years to come.
05:56Well, as we discussed, that is not going to be the name of the clinic.
06:03Well, it's just another thing that we'll just have to re-discuss during our long association.
06:10And here I thought you were more prone to the strong, silent type when it comes to partners.
06:14You live on the edge, so do I.
06:18So it looks like we're going to have some fun together.
06:21The only reason I'm funding this is because of Vanessa.
06:25Because it's so important to her.
06:28Guess the grieving widow loved your idea of a special dedication.
06:34I haven't told her yet.
06:36Don't you think you ought to?
06:38I mean, she is the Bonnie to your client.
06:42I've had people killed for making comments like that.
06:48Relax.
06:49I'm just kidding.
06:52I've had people killed for other things.
07:00If you'll direct your attention to the well-appointed self-care tray for whatever got demolished in your cerebellum last
07:06night.
07:07Painfully accurate.
07:09You'll find a doctor-approved pharmaceutical, which, along with a cup of Americano and perfectly scorched toast I crafted for
07:16you, will have you on the road to recovery in minutes.
07:19That is wishful thinking.
07:21And this might put the smile back on your face.
07:25You know the drill.
07:26Take two of these and call me when you can, Carlton.
07:29That's a promising prescription.
07:32How's the hangover?
07:34She is a doozy.
07:36It's been a minute since I over-served myself.
07:39My question is, why is there only one victim, not two?
07:43Did Carlton not join in whatever you were celebrating?
07:45He was more of a chaperone.
07:48And you don't look too happy, so why were you drinking?
07:52The BRCA test results came back.
07:55And what's the verdict?
07:57I don't have the gene mutation.
07:59Danny does.
08:01A card.
08:03So sweet.
08:04For my mother?
08:06Of course.
08:07It's what one does, doesn't one?
08:08Someone gets cancer, you get them a card.
08:12And I'll have you know it's not kick cancer's butt on a cheap piece of cardboard.
08:15It's photos of you and your mother from various opening nights and fundraisers and fashion shows.
08:21I thought she'd like it.
08:22She will love it.
08:25So tell me, what was all that about before?
08:29What are you doing?
08:30Are you rehearsing for a new bauble from the new hubby?
08:33Oh no, I couldn't possibly.
08:34Or pretending to fend off dessert?
08:36A ridiculous daydream about Haley.
08:39Oh my goodness, well that sounds like a daymare.
08:41Why would that snake sneak into your thoughts?
08:43She was giving me bad news and loving it.
08:46That tracks.
08:48What news?
08:52My mother's diagnosis has had repercussions that are reverberating through the entire family.
09:00Shaking the whole damn family tree.
09:03Danny, whatever you are telling me, please just say it.
09:05You're frightening me.
09:08Poison?
09:09You should be ashamed.
09:11What on earth are you talking about?
09:12You know what I'm talking about, Haley.
09:14All this herbal tea you keep pushing on me.
09:18If you're this stressed out, you haven't had enough.
09:22Drink up, sweetie.
09:24This wellness blend is your savior.
09:26Too much of anything can kill you.
09:28Oh, you couldn't be more wrong about that.
09:30Listen, think of every sip of tea as an investment in the future.
09:35Bringing us closer and closer to everything we've ever wanted.
09:40And what is that exactly?
09:41You leave that up to me.
09:43Just stop using words like poison.
09:46Oh, come on, baby.
09:47I was joking.
09:47If someone overheard, they'd get the wrong idea.
09:52Think something was seemingly afoot.
09:55Okay.
09:57Okay.
09:57Look, I know you're only trying to prolong my life.
10:00I'm sorry.
10:01And I'm sorry for the way I ran out on you yesterday.
10:05I get it.
10:07You're worried about your family.
10:08Who wouldn't be?
10:09Yeah.
10:10You know, it's just a lot of information to deal with.
10:13You know, I just wish things were different between me and them.
10:18They're my family, too, now, you know?
10:21We all need each other.
10:23You should reach out.
10:25Really?
10:26Because, wait, I'm not sure this is the time to...
10:29No, baby, life is short.
10:31You gotta take chances, you know?
10:32Let them be the family you've always wanted.
10:35I don't know.
10:36Hey, look.
10:38In times like this, you know, people, they let their guards down.
10:42You know?
10:43They see life in a different light.
10:45You know?
10:46They might surprise you.
10:47You never know.
10:50Have some tea, Bill.
11:02Top of the morning to you, detectives.
11:05Morning.
11:06Mm.
11:08Found who you looking for.
11:10Maybe someone who fits my description.
11:13Sorry to break it to you, but I'm here about another little lady.
11:16Ooh, I love a man who is in high demand.
11:20More popular than I care to be these days.
11:23I don't know.
11:24I mean, they say that physical activity keeps you young.
11:29But as the way you're saying how you've been juggling things, then maybe you should just take a load off.
11:37I wish I could, but I'm here to meet someone who's got the missing piece to the puzzle.
11:43That is Sheila.
11:45Oh, yes.
11:46Your boat is a mystery.
11:48Tell me more.
11:50You expecting, uh, company?
11:53No, that ship has sailed.
11:55You're not the only juggler in town.
11:59Oh.
12:00Well, if I'm interrupting, blame your assistant.
12:03Hmm?
12:03Caroline sent you back?
12:05She said you were free.
12:06Or nearly.
12:09But we should tell her there's no such thing.
12:11Any man who's in love is never really free.
12:14Isn't that right, Mrs. Hamilton?
12:16If this is the try, try again part of getting Bill to run for office...
12:21No, I'm here for legal advice.
12:23I didn't see an appointment on my schedule.
12:28I think you can squeeze me in.
12:31Okay, well, I will let you two get to work.
12:34Thanks, baby.
12:40Legal advice.
12:42This should be interesting.
12:43I'm investing in a project.
12:46And I'd like a set of protections built in.
12:49In case my partner has a change of heart.
12:52Mm-hmm.
12:53Well, I always figured that you had your own board of directors who handle this kind of thing.
12:59It's a side project.
13:01Building with clean hands.
13:03So everything needs a paper trail.
13:05But I'm assuming this has something to do with a realtor we have in common.
13:11It's not like you chose for Danny to be the one with the demonic gene.
13:14But she is my sister.
13:16And you'll be there for her.
13:18Like always.
13:19But life and the challenges that come with it, always out of your control.
13:24But having the benefit of being alerted about this, that's freaking fantastic if you ask me.
13:30Danny just got married.
13:32You see how they are.
13:34I was afraid Danny would never be happy again after Bill.
13:37And now look at her.
13:39And you just got divorced, so cancer should have chosen you.
13:42You're so much better equipped for trauma because you went to med school.
13:45That is not what I'm saying.
13:46Nothing will make what happened to you, Danny, and your family better.
13:51Lucky for you, you are well equipped to help your family through this hellscape.
13:56So figure out something constructive to do with the guilt and buck up.
14:00We need you.
14:02Point taken.
14:04There's something else to be thankful for.
14:07Oh, I can't wait to hear.
14:10You've got a guy who treats you like the new girl in town.
14:13A carpet picnic sweeping you off your feet.
14:16Such a gentleman that he spent the night with you sleeping on his shoulder on your couch.
14:22Carlton is a nice guy, but...
14:26Life isn't fair.
14:27But if we're lucky, we get friends and nice guys who help us find our way through.
14:34We all deserve some happiness.
14:38You included.
14:40So, and now, Chelsea and Naomi are just waiting for the results of their blood test.
14:46Explain to me why we're here, having brunch.
14:50Because I want you to know.
14:52Because you're my best friend.
14:54And as such, you should have dropped this on me in some hole in the wall where we're nobodies.
14:59Where we can get obnoxiously loud and borderline violent.
15:03Like that time in Berlin.
15:04What time?
15:05I don't know what you're talking about.
15:07And you promised never to mention that again.
15:09Ha ha.
15:11What you don't do is have a Braca gene reveal at a country club where everybody knows your name.
15:17No one knows about the medical thing.
15:18Only you will.
15:19And I needed to be in a place where I feel normal with someone who will treat me like I'm
15:24normal.
15:25And who did you find to foot that bill?
15:28Certainly not I.
15:29I mean, you're miles away from normal, Danny.
15:32The light from that star is not going to hit you for a million years.
15:34I mean, Danny Dupree, normal, ha, and my nightmares.
15:38I love you.
15:40Look, it is not a death sentence.
15:42You don't have cancer.
15:44You just have a predisposition to certain types, which will be closely monitored.
15:50Which is hardly a hardship, considering you bask in all eyes being on Ms. Dupree.
15:54This is what I needed.
15:56What, someone to just remind you how extraordinary you are?
15:59Was.
16:01For a while.
16:03Pamela, what if that part of my life is over?
16:06And this is the universe telling me I need to re-examine my life choices.
16:16I understand that you are deeply concerned by this medical revelation.
16:22And I am deeply concerned about your health and your future and everything in that, Stu.
16:28I don't like the but I know I am about to hear.
16:30But, if you are asking me what's next, my darling, there is nothing that you can't do.
16:38I knew the moment I met you that you were going to set the world on fire, and what did
16:41you do?
16:42That was the moment.
16:44You were a fashion inferno, burning down houses on every continent.
16:49And it wasn't just the face or the body or the looks or the legs.
16:53It's you.
16:54It's you, Danny, and that beautiful brain of yours.
16:58So, if you want to find more work, we will find it.
17:02And if you want to step out of the limelight, well, we can do that too.
17:07You're saying you don't need me?
17:08Oh, yes, that's right.
17:10Who needs Danny dancing on tabletops and breaking all the rules?
17:14Getting me through some of the worst times in my life.
17:17Reminding me that anything is possible when you have friends and family and a mind-blowing imagination.
17:21Yeah.
17:23Who doesn't need that?
17:24We all do, so this is just an announcement to hold on tighter.
17:31Whatever you need, I'm with you.
17:35You just tell me what's next.
17:39Now, we wait for Chelsea and Naomi's test results to see what's written on their DNA.
17:48Lucky for Nicole, she already knows her kids have dodged that bullet.
17:52Well, like I always say, just because you dodged one bullet doesn't mean the universe emptied the gun.
18:00It's always something else in the chamber.
18:04And if you deserve your shot at happiness, so do I.
18:09Absolutely.
18:10Even if my source of happiness is Joey Armstrong?
18:13I would tell you there are so many doctors I could introduce you to.
18:18Know them all.
18:19I could remind you that you do not need a man to complete you.
18:22I wanted someone who can keep up with me.
18:25And since you do not want to hear it, I will not tell you about the women who marry murderers
18:29and hang out with hoodlums.
18:30You don't even know him.
18:31I seem to say it is a prehistoric need for women to choose the most dangerous man so she'll feel
18:38safe.
18:38Because she thinks he'll protect her if and when something happens.
18:42But the truth is...
18:42You want to know the best thing about Joey?
18:44No!
18:45He lets me be me.
18:47He trusts me the way you used to.
18:50You know how much I love you.
18:52Then don't analyze me or treat me like a patient.
18:56You brought this up.
18:57Just because you've voiced your disapproval lately doesn't mean I can't feel it.
19:03Then what would you have me do?
19:05Be my friend.
19:07Be happy for me.
19:09Now, stop predicting my demise.
19:11I am sorry.
19:13And I have been very critical.
19:15Because if anything were to happen to you...
19:17It won't.
19:19I am glad you have that much confidence in him.
19:25I will...
19:27do better in the future.
19:29Will you?
19:31Of course.
19:32Good.
19:33Because the future is now.
19:37I'm not here for relationship advice.
19:41Every client who has come through that door is here to see me about a relationship.
19:46Contracts.
19:47Law.
19:47It's all about love or the loss of it.
19:50Even in business.
19:51Well, God help us if Bill Hamilton is dispensing advice on matters of the heart.
19:57I'm good at it.
19:59I am.
20:00I mean, when it comes to using it on strangers.
20:03But in my own life, not so much.
20:06So, Vanessa.
20:08Well, this thing I'm funding.
20:10It's a memorial clinic.
20:13Mm-hmm.
20:16In honor of her dead husband?
20:18Doug McBride was an accomplished cardiac surgeon.
20:22Yeah, he was.
20:22He was also an alcoholic gambler whose wife you're sleeping with and was actively trying to take you down just
20:28before his untimely death.
20:30And you want to memorialize him.
20:35What can I say?
20:37I have deep pockets and I'm feeling magnanimous.
20:41Great.
20:42You're happy.
20:43Vanessa's happy.
20:45Why are you here?
20:46Well, this particular issue has to do with my business partner.
20:51Another Doug McBride fan?
20:53Someone whose life he saved?
20:54Someone else with deep pockets?
20:56With a propensity for throwing cash around.
21:00Now, the money's clean, but it's complicated.
21:05Well, who is this wild man?
21:09Meetin' Joey Armstrong for drinks.
21:12Interesting.
21:13I don't know if it makes you feel any better.
21:15He didn't do any drinking.
21:17I mean, look at that poor little lonely mimosa, just high of neglect.
21:24And at this meeting, you explain that you're part in ways?
21:28Yeah, that would be the prudent thing to do.
21:32Seeing as you got that advice from a detective, I was trying to keep you out of trouble.
21:38I'm not like other girls.
21:40I knew that going in.
21:42I like playing with fire.
21:45Dangerous.
21:46Best part is, when a nice, strong man comes along to save me from myself,
21:54question is,
21:57will you teach me how to tiptoe down the straight and narrow,
22:02or will there be some activity that I'll be influenced by on the other side of the tracks?
22:11Ooh.
22:13You're much worse than I could imagine.
22:17Downright criminal.
22:20So what you gonna do about it, detective?
22:32I do believe we've uncovered something that warrants for the investigation.
22:39Damn.
22:40You're not so bad for yourself.
22:42You gonna drive me crazy or back to your place?
22:49I say we do what we're wrong.
22:51What are we waiting for?
22:53I mean, what about Sheila?
22:54You just say you were meeting somebody.
22:57Something about a missing piece?
22:59Sheila can wait.
23:01You can.
23:03Leslie, formerly known as Dana Thomas.
23:06I know.
23:07No, you think you know, Joey.
23:10All right?
23:10I know you may have heard a thing or two, but I'm telling you, man.
23:14She's a menace.
23:15She's dangerous.
23:16Trust me.
23:17No, I'm telling you.
23:19She's relentless.
23:20She even tried to go toe-to-toe with me.
23:22You're preaching to the choir, Bill.
23:25The woman is either incredibly brave or she's borderline psychotic.
23:29Then why not avoid her?
23:31I'll be on my guard.
23:32So you'll take a look at the contract.
23:37Why not?
23:38You know, I'm already on her short list of people in this town that she hates.
23:41You know, it might be a little fun to make sure that your interests are protected.
23:46So what does Vanessa think about your new business partner?
23:49She can't be too happy.
23:50Actually, it was her idea.
23:53Huh.
23:53I hope she doesn't live to regret it.
23:55I hope we all don't.
23:57I can handle Leslie.
23:59So, there's just one small change I want to make in the contractual language.
24:09This actually might be a little more fun than I thought.
24:12If you really want to show me our friendship is a two-way street and you believe in me as
24:17much as I trust you...
24:18You do not need validation after all of these years.
24:21I do.
24:22Because we're different people now.
24:24I'm a widow.
24:26You're divorced.
24:27Brand new playing field.
24:30What are you proposing?
24:32A good old-fashioned double date.
24:35I don't think we should.
24:37Why not?
24:40Well, I don't know how Carlton would react.
24:44What?
24:45Because he doesn't want to hang out with Joey?
24:47Because of me.
24:48You can't be serious.
24:49My behavior, the way I was drinking, the passing out, there is no coming back from that performance.
24:57You and I have bent the elbow a few times.
25:00Not like this.
25:02It couldn't have been that bad.
25:04I wouldn't blame Carlton if he never wanted to see me again.
25:07If Carlton likes his date's human, he'll understand and get over it.
25:13Well, that's wonderful news for Nicole.
25:15What a relief.
25:16No dangerous gene lying in wait for her or her children.
25:22No greeting card for her.
25:24The focal center of my every thought and concern is you.
25:29That'll be a first.
25:31Oh, don't make jokes.
25:32Not now.
25:33Especially now.
25:35As self-absorbed as you are, if you make my challenges, your centerpiece, your demanding
25:40ego will glitch from lack of attention.
25:43Okay, here we go.
25:45You're giving me the I can handle this alone speech.
25:47I can!
25:49What?
25:51Darling, I adore you.
25:53You know that.
25:54But you have never handled anything of this magnitude.
25:58And dragging you along to witness my whining and moping is not going to make it any better.
26:02Of course it will.
26:03I mean, we've had some of our greatest successes with you whining and me moping, or vice versa.
26:07Pamela.
26:08No, I insist that you use me.
26:10You need me.
26:11I insist you use me.
26:12For what?
26:12For everything.
26:13Well, I will listen to your every complaint.
26:16I will accompany you on your mammograms and paps.
26:18And should it be necessary and absolutely required, I will hold your hair while you vomit.
26:25As if!
26:26Oh, you really must have forgotten Berlin.
26:28Well, I thought we agreed that we weren't mentioning that.
26:31You know you could never.
26:33I'm so okay.
26:34All fine, all night.
26:35I can't help it if I'm an empath.
26:37When you're in pain, I'm a wreck.
26:40So if you do become, unfortunately, ill, then I guess you just are going to have to lean on your
26:45current hubby, or better yet, direct it towards your ex.
26:49The man you've been telling me to avoid?
26:51Well, all bets are off.
26:52You want to have ice cream for breakfast?
26:55You eat it.
26:56You want to vomit on your ex?
26:58I won't stop you.
26:59Wow.
27:01Well, it's a good thing I didn't find out about this brocca gene earlier.
27:04Who knows what kind of trouble you would have had me stirring up.
27:08Do you want to know what I really think?
27:10Anytime, anywhere, you think it, I want to hear it.
27:15Someone ought to write a condolence card to cancer.
27:19It's come calling to the wrong family.
27:23Clearly, it's never seen what you do to your enemies.
27:39It's never seen what you do to your enemies.
28:00Oh, I did it again.
28:02I should have knocked.
28:03No, no, no, no.
28:03Don't worry about it.
28:05Old bad habits die really hard, huh?
28:07Yeah.
28:08So, um, is everything okay?
28:11Did you get any more information, any news?
28:14Did any more test results come in?
28:15Not yet.
28:17Okay.
28:18So, everything is still...
28:20Same as it was.
28:22Which, uh, probably leaves you wondering what I'm doing here.
28:27In the exclusion zone, yes.
28:29Well, I was hoping we could put that rule aside until further notice.
28:33Sure.
28:34Whatever works.
28:36I could have texted.
28:37I know.
28:38But everything feels kind of important right now, you know what I mean?
28:44I do.
28:47So, I am here in person to thank you.
28:52For not being a first class jerk lately and for showing up for me and the girls.
28:59What are you trying to do?
29:01Make me change my opinion of you?
29:04Could you?
29:06Never.
29:07Yeah, I didn't think so.
29:10So.
29:15It means more than you know that you showed up for us.
29:19There's nowhere else I'd rather be.
29:22You know that.
29:26Good morning, Dr. Fitzgerald.
29:28Doctor.
29:29I was thinking about calling.
29:31So what stopped you?
29:33I thought the ringing phone might trigger a headache.
29:37Thanks to a forward-thinking physician, I woke up to everything a girl might want after a few too many
29:43Long Island STs.
29:45Well, not everything.
29:47Ah, I see your flirtation game is still 100% despite the hangover.
29:52Color me impressed.
29:55My latest flirtation was with the idea of an IV infusion around the corner at the clinic.
30:01Yes, or fuel hose, vitamins, minerals, and electrolytes that you lost.
30:04Doctor's orders, you know.
30:06Mm-hmm.
30:07Well, I hope you'll let me take you for a drink afterwards.
30:09A green drink.
30:12Avocados, apples, spinach.
30:14I wouldn't say no to that.
30:15Okay, good.
30:17Would you say that you are in a good space?
30:21Liable to say yes if I asked you for a favor?
30:24I should say yes, but I'm going to need some more information.
30:31You're late.
30:32And that was such a weak kiss.
30:34The least you can do is...
30:39Better.
30:40I do enjoy the way you apologize.
30:43I should have sent you a text.
30:45What's going on?
30:47Oh, I had a meeting with Bill after my meeting with Leslie.
30:51Should I be the one apologizing?
30:53What did she want?
30:54She wants me to be more hands-on.
30:57In which way?
30:59In all the ways.
31:01Don't worry, I handled it.
31:03I am so sorry.
31:04She's insufferable and unpredictable.
31:06I thought this, in addition to our real estate dealings, would benefit your bottom line, but...
31:10It's a great idea, and it will all be worth it once we break ground.
31:15...on the free clinic meant to honor Doug McBride.
31:20Pretty good at behaving.
31:23Out in public.
31:25All buttoned up.
31:26Can't wait to see what we get up to this time.
31:29I love catching you off guard.
31:36You see something you like?
31:43Thanks for the hydration.
31:44Well, you look like you could use some liquid courage, and since alcohol is off the table for now...
31:49I thought I was hiding my nerves.
31:52Are you anxious about the special request you're about to make?
31:55If I do some self-reflection, yes, I am.
31:59Oh, I can't believe I'm about to do this.
32:02Okay.
32:03Sounds serious.
32:04It's a game changer.
32:07Well, whatever it is, I'm sure I can handle it.
32:12How do you feel about a double date?
32:18Okay.
32:20That's a big step.
32:23An actual date in the real world with another couple.
32:27Are you sure you're ready for a hard launch like that?
32:29A date with you, definitely.
32:31A night on the town with them.
32:35God only knows.
32:36Do I know the couple in question?
32:38Oh, it's a questionable couple.
32:41Vanessa and Joey Armstrong.
32:44Wow.
32:47The new clinic will be a memorial to Doug?
32:51I didn't want it to come out that way.
32:54That was supposed to be a surprise.
32:56This is phenomenal.
32:58Joey, I never imagined in a million years.
33:02Why would you do something this incredible?
33:06I guess I thought, what better way to show how you're changing the way I see the world?
33:11And I want to honor Doug, the man.
33:14This clinic will change lives.
33:17The way he did.
33:18The way he wanted to.
33:21Joey.
33:22It's crazy, huh?
33:25Donnell and Deanna will be blown away by this.
33:27I know when I tell them, they'll...
33:29In the long-term fling,
33:31doesn't even know you're the reason she's a widow.
33:33Honoring Doug with something noble and noteworthy.
33:39It's all for you.
33:40I can't believe that.
33:42Narcissistic nightmare's allowing it.
33:44Leslie didn't have a problem with that?
33:46Believe me, I can handle Leslie.
33:50I haven't seen one like this in a long time.
33:52I should have warned you.
33:55I'm packing.
33:58Heat.
34:00Oh, I knew that the minute we met.
34:04A lady asked permission.
34:07You thought I was a lady?
34:11100%.
34:12The second anyone finds out
34:14that your hand is where it doesn't belong,
34:17I'll be in trouble.
34:19Baby, you are already in trouble.
34:23And my hand is...
34:26doing just what it's supposed to do.
34:29And it's exactly where it wants to be.
34:41The lady knows her way around a firearm.
34:45My late husband owned a few.
34:49That's good to know.
34:52You got a lot to learn about Miss Leslie.
34:58You are going to have fun
35:01getting schooled.
35:06Say it again for the folks in the back.
35:09Come on, Danny.
35:10You know there's nothing I wouldn't do
35:11for you, Naomi, and Chelsea.
35:13You know that.
35:14And who are the folks in the back this time?
35:16Pamela.
35:17Oh, boy.
35:18She said it might be okay for me to lean on you
35:21if things get bleak.
35:23Huh.
35:24I thought she hated me.
35:26She does.
35:27She loves me.
35:29Yeah.
35:31Well, you need all of us.
35:32And you've got us.
35:34For now, tomorrow,
35:35and for the rest of our lives.
35:37We got you.
35:39No BF.
35:41Sickness and health part of the contract
35:42is null and void.
35:45Danny, I'll never stop caring about you.
35:48Same goes for the girls.
35:50You know, so screw the contract.
35:52So sue me.
35:53I know a really good lawyer.
35:55The best.
35:58Bill.
36:02I got you.
36:04Good.
36:06Because I don't think I've ever been this scared in my life.
36:14Would you mind taking your hands off my husband?
36:17I'm galvan.
36:19Okay.
36:32I got you.
36:33Oh, my God.
36:47We're going to be two when I'm hungry.
