00:05Anita?
00:07What is it?
00:10Dr. Bauer's assistant called.
00:12The results are in on whether the chemo is working.
00:17You just did that testing.
00:19You think the rush is cause for concern?
00:22If the treatment is failing,
00:24I'm sure they'll want to start a new course right away.
00:28I guess I better brace myself.
00:31How can I help?
00:33Call the girls.
00:35They'll need to be mentally prepared for this as well.
00:39I'll start with Danny.
00:40Start what with me?
00:44What's going on?
00:49Yo.
00:50Oh, what's up, Pops?
00:53Wait, slow down, what?
00:55When did this happen?
00:58Does Nicole have any idea who did the hacking?
01:02So we don't know what they're looking for.
01:06Alright, well it was smart to keep it on the low.
01:09Thank Marcel for me.
01:11Alright, keep me posted.
01:17Damn it, Smitty.
01:20What a nice surprise.
01:22Can I get you anything?
01:23Coffee?
01:24No, thank you.
01:25Well, Martin actually took off early this morning.
01:28Campaign trail waits for nobody.
01:30I am actually here to see you.
01:32Oh.
01:33Well, I am honored.
01:34If I knew you were coming over,
01:36I would have made sure we had some of those vanilla scones I know you like.
01:39And if I had known that you were planning on stopping by my office yesterday,
01:42I would have made it a point to be there.
01:44Could have saved us both trouble.
01:46It's wonderful.
01:50There's nothing in the middle.
01:53I am藏.
01:54I will never know.
01:54It's wonderful.
01:54I am, I am.
01:56Of all.
01:59Well, I am.
02:04I am.
02:04Duolo,
02:05And I am.
02:05I am.
02:06I am.
02:36If I paid her off, and now she's looking to buy a penthouse, that cannot happen.
02:41I told you I will deal with Lynette, so let me.
02:45Yeah, sure.
02:46You keep getting your rocks off while she blackmails me.
02:50Look, if she spills everything to Bill, it's...
02:53I don't know about you, but I have no intentions of spending my retirement behind bars.
02:57Relax, cuz.
02:59Let me work my plan.
03:00Cuz, we don't have luxury of time right now, okay?
03:05I'm not just dealing with Bill.
03:07Everyone's looking at me sideways.
03:09Naomi, Chelsea, Kat Tomas.
03:12Do you recall what happened the last time you panicked?
03:15Whatever.
03:16Just deal with her, and fast.
03:18I'll handle Bill.
03:21Yeah, whatever.
03:22Hey, I gotta go.
03:23He'll be down soon, right?
03:44Hey.
03:45I thought you wanted to meet this morning for some morning cardio, but I can tell your energy says otherwise.
03:52What's Haley yapping about now?
03:54Haley can go straight to hell for all I care.
03:58What happened?
03:59Always trying to play me like I'm inferior, talking down to me, ordering me around.
04:02Well, you know she's always been foolishly arrogant.
04:05Especially since she's been living behind those gates.
04:07It's giving her even more of a boost.
04:09Oh, I know.
04:11Which is why I won't end.
04:13You know what?
04:14The game you running.
04:16And why would I believe that you would turn on your own family?
04:20Because there's a whole lot of zeros involved.
04:23And I'm done being taken advantage of.
04:27Let me guess.
04:29Haley's been telling you that she married Bill for true love, and she's out of the game, right?
04:35Yeah.
04:37Well, what if I told you that you were right the whole time?
04:42Bill is just another mark.
04:45Good morning, handsome.
04:47I made you a latte, and I picked up your favorite breakfast sandwich because I figured you'd be too busy
04:52to stop on your way to the courthouse.
04:54Oh, thanks, honey.
04:55But my appearance actually got pushed, so I don't have to leave just yet.
05:00Oh, great.
05:02Well, listen, there's something I want to talk to you about.
05:06Yeah, me too.
05:08Okay, you first.
05:09What's on your mind?
05:11Lynette.
05:12And whatever she's holding over your head.
05:20Is everything okay?
05:23The results are in from the scans.
05:27Good or bad?
05:30I'll be in my study.
05:31Mm-hmm.
05:35Well, we won't know the answer to that until I see the doctor this morning.
05:40What can I do?
05:43I need you to take care of things if the news is unfavorable.
05:48Are you sure you're talking to the right daughter?
05:51Dani, you have raised two beautiful, successful women who have inherited your very best traits.
05:58And like your sister, you are capable of keeping this family together once I am no longer here.
06:06Mother, we haven't even gotten the results yet.
06:08Don't you think this conversation is premature?
06:10No.
06:13I need you and Nicole to work together if this turns bad.
06:18And I need you to believe that I know you can do it.
06:23Over this last year, you have demanded a life of fulfillment and inner joy.
06:30You have handled your business, professional and personal.
06:35And you have given us all someone to look up to.
06:39Danielle Dupree, I am so very proud of you.
06:45I just followed your example.
06:49I wouldn't have been able to morph into all these different versions of myself if I didn't have you here
06:56to ground me.
06:58Thank you for being my center.
07:02Well, there's something else.
07:06In the event the cancer becomes a reality for you, you'll need to be prepared.
07:16Why would you say something like that?
07:19Well, Vanessa just sold Lynette a luxurious new property in Logan Circle.
07:25Sounds nice.
07:26Yeah, yeah, it does.
07:27You know, but since Lynette obviously can't afford all that, I can only assume that she thinks you're paying for
07:34it, which means I'd be paying for it.
07:35Babe, listen, I don't know what she's thinking.
07:38Oh, listen.
07:42Haley, you were covering her hotel stay and who knows what else.
07:47I mean, really, why else would you be doing so much for her if there wasn't more to the story?
07:51You know, this goes beyond obligation.
07:53Wait, are you making light of the fact that she saved my life?
07:57If that's what she did.
07:59What are you saying?
08:00I'm just trying to understand why you feel so beholden to her.
08:06Just tell me the truth.
08:09Once a hustler, always a hustler.
08:13But, you know, I can't seem to figure out right now why all of a sudden you come and clean.
08:19And don't give me that whole crap about she hurt your feelings.
08:22It's a job.
08:23Yeah.
08:23And Haley's not holding up her head.
08:25We've been running the car for over two years.
08:29Starting like any other, get in, learn to players, make your move.
08:32But somewhere along the line, my big sweet cousin started feeling herself.
08:36Got it in her head that she was the leader when we've always been a team.
08:40Yeah, she tried that crap on me a couple times, too.
08:44I bust my ass for her.
08:46Constantly fixing what she messes up, getting whatever she needs so her husband doesn't catch on.
08:51So what she's not going to do is ruin his bag for me.
08:54How much we talking?
08:56Enough so we never have to do this again.
08:59I knew you'd never buy her fairy tale.
09:02I was just waiting to see if she was going to be smart about this or keep dismissing me.
09:06Like I can't blow up a whole spot.
09:09But I don't want to do this, you know.
09:11She's my blood.
09:12You know, at one point in time, we used to be all deeper than blood.
09:15Yeah, well, those fairy tale days are over.
09:19Yesterday, I heard Vanessa talking to you about the penthouse.
09:22I tell Haley, and she barks at me to talk you out of it.
09:26She orders me to handle you or she's going to cut me out of the whole thing.
09:30Me.
09:30The one person who's been with her since day one.
09:33Well, how do I know that you're not doing that to me right now?
09:35Why would I confess everything to you if I'm just going to run game?
09:38Come on, Lynette Wise.
09:41You've always, always been smarter than her.
09:45She's trying to cut me out.
09:46As soon as a lady, she's going to do the same thing to you.
09:47Well, I have leverage.
09:49And I'm not afraid to use it.
09:50With me, you'll have that plus.
09:53Someone on the inside.
09:54No more of this petty crap that Bill has probably already noticed.
09:58My cousin thinks she has us in the palm of her hand.
10:01I'm ready to teach her an unfortunate lesson.
10:05Lay it out for me.
10:07This was a good call.
10:08I cannot do my best work on an empty stomach.
10:11I know you.
10:12First come sustenance, then shopping.
10:15Me with a full belly, I can probably overhaul your entire closet.
10:20That came out wrong.
10:22Good, because I need a drama-free day.
10:29Ashley said you were looking for me yesterday.
10:32Yeah, I was in the area, so I figured I'd stop in and say,
10:35hey, I must have just missed you.
10:38And it just hit me that you left me a message,
10:40and I forgot to call you back.
10:42Ashley said you wanted to talk cotillion?
10:45Yeah, yeah.
10:47It's just such a bigger time commitment than I realized.
10:51With the organizational meetings,
10:53keeping track of the schedule,
10:55Martin and I have missed a few things.
10:57That won't reflect poorly on Samantha, will it?
11:00As long as Samantha keeps up with her individual prep work
11:02and attends classes, she'll be fine.
11:04Good.
11:05I am very glad that we have your experience.
11:12Samantha said that June agreed to attend her debut.
11:16I'm happy she changed her mind.
11:18Me too.
11:19It'll be a nice memory that she can share with the kids.
11:22And how's everything else going?
11:23Are you still working on that investigative piece?
11:26Yeah, it's going well.
11:29You sure?
11:31Because if that's work,
11:33then it sounds like something big is going down.
11:40This is my treat, so get whatever you want.
11:43My thank you for taking Madison's case.
11:46Malpractice is no joke.
11:48And the fact that she wasn't even directly involved?
11:50Oof.
11:51I thought her mother was cool.
11:52I mean, Willow and I really hit it off last Thanksgiving.
11:55But getting Madison caught up in this was foul.
11:58You did say that Willow's hardcore about her beliefs, though.
12:01Which is fine.
12:02But don't drag your polar opposite daughter into it with unfounded claims.
12:06Madison is a respected neurologist.
12:08This could jeopardize...
12:10Never mind.
12:11This is our time.
12:13Not rants about your future mother-in-law time.
12:15What?
12:16No.
12:17You were an ear for me when Darlene and I were building our relationship.
12:20I am happy to return the favor.
12:23Nope.
12:24I'm just going to say thank you and decide what I'm eating.
12:27Chels.
12:27This is good for me, too, you know?
12:30Having something to channel my energy while Jacob is away is a gift.
12:36This one does require a different level of discretion.
12:43Will you be finished soon?
12:46I'm making good progress.
12:48And hopefully it'll be wrapped up and hot off the presses.
12:56Hi, Daddy.
12:57Hi, sweetheart.
12:59Can you make it over to the house?
13:01Is everything okay?
13:03No need for alarm.
13:04I'll explain when you get here.
13:06Okay, I'm on my way.
13:09Are you happy with your doctors?
13:12Very.
13:12If that should ever change,
13:15if you should feel the tiniest twinge that something is off,
13:19promise me you won't dismiss it.
13:21I promise.
13:22This is very important.
13:24You know that black women are disproportionately underserved when it comes to medical care.
13:30If there is ever anything a doctor doesn't take seriously the first time, you cut them loose.
13:37Mom, I tell these same things to Chelsea and Naomi.
13:40Truly, you have my word.
13:42And make sure you talk about this with Andre.
13:45Andre, it's your body, but you both need to be prepared for how it might affect your intimacy.
13:52And this, this last thing.
13:55Never lose your spark because this threat is looming in your life.
14:00Well, maybe I don't need to say that to you, but maybe I do.
14:06If I have ever made you feel that you shouldn't be your most authentic self because of your last name,
14:14I apologize.
14:17I pray this never comes for you.
14:19But if it does, I want to know you'll be prepared.
14:25A mother's work is never done.
14:28Never.
14:33This all sounds good, but you still haven't given me a number.
14:37At least 10 mil.
14:41Are you in?
14:42You know, we make a great team.
14:48I mean, the idea of us working together is tempting.
14:55Imagine all the sick, fun, we can have along the way.
15:00Let's do it.
15:01Hell yeah.
15:02With your skills, my connections, we will bleed her dry.
15:06And then we can blow this town and start somewhere fresh.
15:09How does Antigua sound?
15:11Ooh.
15:12Like easy days and sleepless nights.
15:15Let's get some champagne to celebrate.
15:17Let's do it.
15:18Let's do it.
15:20Let's do it.
15:23We got company.
15:25Yeah.
15:26I know a better place where we can commemorate this special moment.
15:30I'm Haley's time.
15:35You can't seriously be planning to buy Lynette a penthouse.
15:38Of course not.
15:39All right.
15:40Okay.
15:40And if she's trying to, I don't know, guilt you into her agenda, we're going to have a problem.
15:44Bill, Lynette is not holding anything over my head and she's not trying to manipulate me.
15:49We've become friends.
15:52Friends?
15:52I mean, it's not like I have a slew of people lining up to connect with me.
15:57I have one friend here and she's on your payroll.
16:00Well, Caroline would be your friend regardless.
16:02Listen, I've grown to like Lynette.
16:06She's funny and kind.
16:09She's finding her footing.
16:11And you know what?
16:11I think the penthouse is a good idea.
16:15What?
16:15Are you kidding me?
16:16What?
16:16No.
16:17Look, I'm not being naive, babe.
16:19Listen to me.
16:20When you look at this from a business perspective, it makes sense.
16:26Haley.
16:26Look, hey, just hear me out, okay?
16:30And once you do, I think you'll see things differently.
16:38I know this is unnerving, but at least we'll know once and for all what our next steps should be.
16:42And we're here to help, however we can.
16:45Thank you, both of you.
16:48Now, the only other two people I wanted to talk to before I get the results are Sharon and Tracy.
16:53Aren't they still on tour?
16:55Can you give them a call?
16:56I, uh, texted with Sharon, and I know she's free, so will you excuse me?
17:15Anita Dupree is calling me home.
17:20Be still, my heart.
17:21How was the show last night?
17:23Jam-packed.
17:24We tore the house down.
17:26Well, until Tracy had a slight wardrobe malfunction.
17:30Uh-oh.
17:31What happened?
17:31Uh-oh.
17:32Honey, she did a move where she flipped her head to the side.
17:35Real funky now.
17:37And her earring caught on her wig.
17:41Then she thought she could just jerk back in the opposite direction.
17:45But instead of unhooking the earring, baby, that wig flipped across her whole head.
17:50Oh, my God.
17:51That is terrible.
17:53I know.
17:54Oh, she's in glam now, inspecting the glue.
17:58I always knew I could count on you to cheer me up.
18:03What's going on?
18:05Oh, I get the results of whether the chemo is working today.
18:11I wish we could be there for you in person.
18:17I wish we could be there for you in person.
18:40How are you doing?
18:40I wish we could be there for you.
18:41Thank you, my sister.
19:38Babe, Lynette doesn't have the money.
19:41She needs to get a new place.
19:43Ailey, look, I...
19:44Hear me out.
19:45Okay, this is what I am thinking.
19:48You have a diversified portfolio.
19:51We have our home here, the place in St. Bart's.
19:55Look, we could buy this penthouse as an investment
19:59and let Lynette stay there for a little while
20:02until she gets on her feet.
20:04For free?
20:06No, just until she gets situated.
20:08She'll find work and then she'll start bringing in a regular income
20:12and then she can get an affordable place for herself.
20:14And listen, once that happens,
20:16we'll have a property that we could use however we like.
20:19Maybe Chelsea and Madison will want a new place
20:22or, I don't know, we can rent it out.
20:25Well, you've made a sound argument.
20:28But this is still a step too far and at my expense.
20:32You said as yourself, this isn't about money.
20:34We have money, babe.
20:36Why shouldn't we use it for good and to turn a profit too?
20:40Okay, all right, all right.
20:41So this investment could potentially pay off later.
20:45Yes.
20:45Yeah, but what if it doesn't?
20:47What if it doesn't?
20:47And who's to say Lynette won't get in there and refuse to leave?
20:50There's a fine line between helping and enabling.
20:56Look, you've called Fairmont Crest your home for decades.
21:00People love you here even when they hate you.
21:03But me?
21:04I will forever be known as the home-wrecking second wife.
21:10Lynette has made being an outsider more bearable.
21:14And look, babe, I am just trying to show my gratitude.
21:19It's okay.
21:20Look, I hear you, honey.
21:22All right?
21:23I do.
21:24And I hate that it's still so hard for you, you know, especially when I know what a pure
21:29soul you have.
21:31But we've done more than enough for Lynette.
21:34So my answer is no.
21:46The nurse said we can go back.
21:48And we will be right here when you're done.
21:53See you on the flip side.
21:59Just hop by their house to check on them and boom, life-altering event.
22:05Well, they're handling it well.
22:07Even mother with her jokes.
22:11But underneath, I know she's afraid.
22:16We had a talk earlier about what I can expect if this happens to me.
22:20Oh, Sissy.
22:22It was one of those tough but necessary conversations.
22:30I'm worried about how mother will react if the news isn't good.
22:35Well, it wasn't long ago that she was ready to give up completely.
22:39Dr. Lando to Ben.
22:40Will she feel that way again?
22:42Will she fight?
22:43Will fighting even be an option?
22:45What will this do to daddy to his health?
22:51I am sorry.
22:53I shouldn't be unloading on you like this.
22:55If you can't confide in me, then who, Nicole?
22:59I know exactly what you're feeling.
23:02Yet you are so calm.
23:05You're handling this way better than I am.
23:09Until there's reason to doubt,
23:10I'm choosing positivity.
23:14Mother is fighting again.
23:16Held up by love.
23:18And whatever happens,
23:20we will get through this together.
23:23When did you become so calm and assuring?
23:27It's one of my newer looks.
23:30You like?
23:32I love.
23:36Vernon, hear this.
23:40I would not change a single chapter of our story,
23:44including this one.
23:46You have shown me a side of you
23:48that makes my younger self so proud to have said yes.
23:53You have exceeded every expectation I had of a partner.
24:00I'd move heaven and earth for you, Anita.
24:03And that's what we'll hold on to,
24:05whatever comes.
24:08Love and appreciation
24:09for this beautiful,
24:12blessed life we've shared.
24:15And with you by my side,
24:18that's what it will always be.
24:22Are you okay?
24:23I mean, really.
24:25I thought we were keeping it light.
24:27We are.
24:29Your energy was off on Easter.
24:31And even now,
24:32I can tell that your mind
24:32keeps drifting somewhere else.
24:34I am right here with you, Chels.
24:36Are you lonely?
24:38You spent your anniversary without Jacob.
24:41I did, and it was difficult,
24:43but I'm past it now.
24:45Well, you know you can talk to me.
24:47Like, that's even something I have to say, right?
24:49I know.
24:51And I appreciate you.
24:52But you are on fire right now.
24:55Your business is taking off.
24:57Chelsea Cat is going to be in Fenmore's.
24:59And you're planning your wedding.
25:01Your cup is full.
25:02And I'd pour it out for you.
25:05That's sweet.
25:07But seriously, I'm okay.
25:09I have a new case that I can work on,
25:11thanks to you.
25:12I'm getting in extra Pilates sessions,
25:15and I'm catching up on reading.
25:16So, don't worry about me.
25:19Well, if work, or the gym, or the books
25:23stop doing it for you,
25:24promise you'll call me?
25:26I promise.
25:29Okay.
25:30Where the hell have you been?
25:31I got here as soon as I could.
25:33Nicole was over,
25:34and I couldn't ask her to leave
25:35with you blowing me up.
25:36And what does she want?
25:37To talk about the cotillion.
25:39And not you sneaking in her office
25:40and snooping on her computer?
25:41I was careful, Jacob.
25:43She doesn't know.
25:44You swear you pulled off your little stunt.
25:46Well, guess what?
25:47You didn't.
25:48My pops called.
25:50And the chief of staff at Garland
25:51knows an unauthorized person
25:52tried to access Nicole's computer.
25:54And now they're getting Marcel
25:55to look into it.
25:56They think she was hacked?
25:58I don't know,
25:58but that's what Marcel
25:59is going to find out.
26:00You went rogue,
26:01and now we have to deal
26:02with the fallout.
26:03How did they even find out
26:05in the first place?
26:05It doesn't matter, Smitty.
26:07You should have stayed in your lane,
26:08and now you messed up.
26:14To the best partnership
26:18I've ever had.
26:22To the best lick.
26:25we ever hit.
26:32You know, I can't wait
26:33till I'm strategizing
26:36in my new penthouse
26:38overlooking the city.
26:39Don't hate these dime, no less.
26:41You should hit her up.
26:43Let her know you're ready
26:44to start shopping
26:44for your new penthouse,
26:45and you need an advance.
26:48Like a housewoman can.
26:50Can you think of a better way
26:51to prepare for your new deeds?
26:54You know what, partner?
26:55I like the way you think.
26:57Ooh.
26:58Ooh.
26:58I love you.
27:00I love you.
27:12I love you.
27:21I love you.
27:28My mind is made up, Haley.
27:31Look, I know you have concerns about the type of person Lynette is.
27:34Yeah, she came into my office facing embezzlement charges.
27:37It doesn't exactly scream integrity.
27:39Okay, look, if you didn't truly believe that Lynette deserved a second chance,
27:43you wouldn't have urged a U.S. attorney to drop her case.
27:46You know what Lynette should have been saying this entire time?
27:50Thank you, or you've been far too generous.
27:52She said thank you.
27:54Yeah, and then she hit you with something else that made you feel even more responsible.
27:57She'll take whatever you're willing to give, Haley.
28:00And I'm not handing over a blank check to that woman.
28:02I'm not doing that. Hell no.
28:03What? I would never let something like that happen, Bill.
28:07Look, yes, maybe we've done too much,
28:11but I won't feel bad for putting good karma in the universe.
28:15Fine, but we are done with that.
28:21Hey, hey, hey, come here.
28:22Listen, I realize how much you've sacrificed in choosing to spend your life with me, okay?
28:33Yeah, and I will never regret my decision to marry you.
28:40You do know that, right?
28:42I do.
28:43That's why I'll never stop protecting you.
28:50What happens when they pull the security footage?
28:52What happens when Nicole realizes that you were there to investigate and not to talk about a damn ball?
28:57Relax.
28:58If they were going to do that, it would have happened already.
29:01Pulling the footage is the first thing they do, so clearly I'm not on camera.
29:04You say that like Marcel Malone isn't ruthless.
29:07I'm not going to apologize for doing what we needed.
29:11We now have a list of who works at the lab.
29:14The woman we're looking for is on that list.
29:16Yes, but I'm working my relationship with Grayson.
29:19The intel I get from him will lead us directly to the source without exposing ourselves.
29:23But what you did was reckless and unnecessary.
29:25Grayson is actively avoiding you.
29:28Who knows what or when he would give us anything.
29:31I saw an opportunity and I took it.
29:33You would have done the same.
29:34But the difference is I'm a cop and you're not.
29:36But we're both going towards the same goal.
29:38And you made it infinitely harder by drawing attention to the fact that there's actually something shady going on inside
29:43the hospital.
29:44They might just think it was a blip that caused the issue.
29:47Right.
29:49And when the woman who Grayson reports to realizes the cops are looking their way, then what?
29:57Mrs. Dupree, Senator, good morning.
30:00We do hope it stays that way.
30:02I won't keep you in suspense.
30:04I have good news.
30:06The tumor has responded well to the chemo.
30:09The scans show that it's shrunk in size and your blood work has returned to normal ranges.
30:15Thank you, God.
30:17We're looking at two more rounds of chemo.
30:19Then we'll repeat breast imaging and blood work.
30:21And then it comes down to a lumpectomy or mastectomy.
30:26You will likely be eligible for a lumpectomy, given your response to chemotherapy thus far.
30:31But those decisions will be made after the completion of chemo.
30:37How does that sound, Mrs. Dupree?
30:40Like the most beautiful song I've ever heard.
30:43I know you'd rather not continue with more sessions.
30:46But those final two will make even more of a difference for surgery.
30:50I, uh, I will get through it, Dr. Bauer.
30:55I am going to beat this.
30:56I can say that now with 100% confidence.
31:02Well done, Mrs. Dupree.
31:05I'll give you the room.
31:11Oh, my God.
31:16Oh.
31:24Really?
31:28The chemo's working.
31:30Oh, thank God.
31:32They just want to continue the regimen.
31:34Just two more rounds.
31:36To further shrink the tumor, but it's almost over.
31:39Oh, that is wonderful, Mother.
31:41Two more rounds till freedom.
31:43I couldn't be happier.
31:45I second that.
31:46What do you say we get out of here?
31:48Oh, please.
31:49Let's go home.
31:51Thank you for being here, my angels.
31:56I love you.
31:57No, you too.
32:09Look, I know you're upset, but this is the furthest we've gotten.
32:13With me uncovering who these people are and you on the inside, we are so close to exposing
32:18this thing.
32:19So you're really standing on your risk being worth it?
32:22I am, yeah.
32:24Smitty, look.
32:26You've been helpful, all right?
32:27We wouldn't even be here if it wasn't for your tip.
32:30But every single day I'm out here, real lives are on the line.
32:33I know that.
32:33And I'm the one equipped to fight back, not you.
32:36I wouldn't want you to get hurt or something worse because you couldn't stay patient.
32:40And every single time you act off impulse, we lose.
32:44You're family to me.
32:46And the love I've got for you.
32:47That goes both ways.
32:49No, but it doesn't.
32:51There's no other way but my way.
32:54Because I'm the one in charge.
32:56I have the authority.
32:57So no more going off the script.
33:02We should get going.
33:03The boutique is opening soon.
33:05My favorite sentence.
33:06And then I have to meet up with Dad about Madison's case.
33:09I owe you so much more than breakfast.
33:12Thank you again.
33:13I know working with Dad wasn't really on your bingo card.
33:15Yeah, but it's a smart move.
33:18Working together doubles our odds.
33:21And there's a younger me that would have dreamed of this.
33:24Us wrecking the other side and winning for justice.
33:28Never thought it'd happen.
33:30Because of the fallout from your stepmother?
33:33Don't you mean our stepmother?
33:36Speaking of, this will give me a good opportunity to keep an eye on her.
33:41You know she'll be hovering.
33:43Always asking if somebody's ready to be friends with her.
33:45How about no, Hayley?
33:47Yeah, definitely not.
33:49Whatever it is she's up to, whether it's with that Lynette person or otherwise, I will be watching her.
33:56And if she tries to step to you?
33:57Then I will gladly put her back in line.
33:59Hey.
34:05Oh, that's Caroline letting me know there's construction near the courthouse.
34:10I should probably get going.
34:12And, Hayley, will you please think about what I said about Lynette?
34:22You know, Hayley still hasn't texted me back yet?
34:26She will.
34:28What other choice does she have?
34:30Well, in the meantime, we should go window shopping.
34:33You know, make sure we're on the same page about the vibe of the penthouse.
34:36Oh.
34:37So you think that you're moving into my new penthouse?
34:39Nah, I just figured I'd be spending a lot of time there, don't I get a sight?
34:42No.
34:43When it comes to squeezing every last drop out of Hayley Hamilton, yes.
34:48Okay.
34:49But when it comes to my place, sorry, boo-boo.
34:54You don't get to have a say-so in that.
34:57Okay.
34:57That's cold.
34:59Can I rather leave a toothbrush, maybe get a drawer or something?
35:02You know, I do have a vested interest in this.
35:04Mm.
35:07Why don't you come with me to help me pick out bags?
35:12Because it looks like we'll be going through a lot of them.
35:22Lovingly made for the road.
35:25Thank you, sweetheart.
35:27And I'll think about what you said.
35:29And when you're enjoying that coffee, you think about me.
35:34Mm.
35:35Mm.
35:37You're too good.
35:40So I was thinking.
35:41Why don't we hit up Tyson's Galleria?
35:43I'm sparing no expense when it comes to my new palace.
35:47Your wish is my command.
35:50Well, Hayley's.
35:55You know,
35:57I can't wait to see the look on her face when she realized that we teamed up together.
36:03That bitch is done.
36:07Bye, baby.
36:09Thanks.
36:09Bye, baby.
36:10Bye, baby.
36:12Bye, baby.
36:15Bye, baby.
36:27Bye, baby.
36:29Bye, baby.
36:30Bye, baby.
36:30Bye, baby.
36:30Bye, baby.
36:30Bye, baby.
36:32Bye, baby.
36:33Bye, baby.
