00:00:03Carter and Nora, my husband and daughter, my whole world.
00:00:07I grabbed all this stuff to whip up a special dinner for our wedding anniversary.
00:00:15Daddy, will she like my present?
00:00:19She'll love anything you make her.
00:00:24It's almost time.
00:00:26Let's go get the cake.
00:00:36They remembered.
00:00:41This must be my anniversary gift from Nora.
00:00:44Mommy?
00:00:47Hey, baby.
00:00:50Carter, I got you your favorite lobster, and I got Nora her favorite apple pie.
00:00:54I'm going to make a feast for our anniversary.
00:00:56Mommy, why are you wearing the brooch I made for Miss Ashley?
00:01:00Miss Ashley, your teacher?
00:01:13Why are you wearing my clothes in my bedroom?
00:01:17Oh, these little things?
00:01:19No wonder the top is a little snug and the waist is loose.
00:01:22Ashley got soaked bathing Nora.
00:01:24Your closet was convenient.
00:01:25You never liked me wearing bright colors, but I guess you're fine with the colors.
00:01:30You just don't like me wearing them.
00:01:32Mommy, give the brooch back to Miss Ashley.
00:01:34I spent all day making it special for her birthday.
00:01:55You threw her a birthday party in my house on our wedding anniversary?
00:02:04You threw her a birthday party in my house on our wedding anniversary?
00:02:09Our anniversary?
00:02:11Big deal.
00:02:12Oh, I'm so sorry.
00:02:13I had no idea it was your anniversary.
00:02:15Carter didn't mention it.
00:02:18Nora, it's your mother's special day.
00:02:20If she wants the brooch so badly, she can keep it.
00:02:23I already know how much you love me.
00:02:24No, it's for you.
00:02:26Mommy can't have it.
00:02:28Give it back.
00:02:29It looks ugly on you.
00:02:33Yes, I got it.
00:02:35Here you go, Miss Ashley.
00:02:36It'll look way better on you than Mommy.
00:02:39Nora, I'm your mother.
00:02:41Why are you doing this to me?
00:02:43That's my sweet girl.
00:02:44Thank you, Nora.
00:02:45And thank you for the party, Carter.
00:02:49I've waited years for that smile, but now it's for another woman.
00:03:00Carter, why don't we go and check and see if my clothes are dry?
00:03:04They look perfect, like a family, and I'm just a ghost in my own home.
00:03:13Nine years ago, I finally gathered up the courage to ask out Carter, who I'd had a crush on for
00:03:19years.
00:03:20Carter, I've had feelings for you for so long.
00:03:25You're not me.
00:03:43After that insane night, I married the love of my life.
00:03:47Don't think drugging me and trapping me with a baby makes you my wife?
00:03:50You're just another gold digger.
00:03:53I didn't.
00:03:54Even though I was never his.
00:03:59Mr. Collins, your wife and baby are in critical condition.
00:04:03We need you to decide, save the mother or the baby.
00:04:07That's all I care about, save the baby.
00:04:10I survived, only to be crippled by duty and guilt.
00:04:14Your daughter's premature and very fragile.
00:04:18Look how weak she is.
00:04:20She will always need to be on a strict diet for her health.
00:04:23This is all your fault!
00:04:26I put a promising career on hold.
00:04:29Dedicated myself to becoming the perfect Mrs. Collins.
00:04:35I became the whole package.
00:04:37The perfect homemaker, a nutritionist.
00:04:39Oatmeal again?
00:04:40I hate it!
00:04:41I want french fries!
00:04:42I gave it my all.
00:04:44Everything I had for your happiness.
00:04:47But where it was mine?
00:04:53Nora, that restaurant we're going to has those french fries you love.
00:04:57Yes!
00:04:57Miss Ashley, I want you to be my mommy.
00:05:02My husband doesn't love me.
00:05:04My child doesn't want me.
00:05:07I have no reason to stay home anymore.
00:05:13Carter.
00:05:17Sign this.
00:05:29Um, Carter, could you help me with my coat, please?
00:05:33Of course.
00:05:37You didn't even read it.
00:05:38Just signed our marriage away like it was nothing.
00:05:42But the prenup?
00:05:45You scrutinized every comma.
00:05:47All right, come on.
00:05:48Our reservation's on my stuff.
00:05:50Do you even know what you just signed?
00:05:53Nora's insurance paperwork.
00:05:55You worry too much.
00:06:00Can't you see I'm busy?
00:06:02Don't bother me with trivial matters.
00:06:11This is the last time I'll ever bother you with trivial matters.
00:06:25I'm taking what's left of me and burning the rest.
00:06:29Goodbye, Carter.
00:06:32Goodbye, Nora.
00:06:34Goodbye, Carter.
00:06:54Goodbye, Nora.
00:06:55Daddy.
00:06:56Daddy, Mommy doesn't let me eat snacks, but her strawberry milkshake is so good.
00:07:01I want one now.
00:07:04You can go wake her up if you want to.
00:07:08Sir, I know it's not my place, but Mrs. Collins has been so devoted to this family.
00:07:19Today, today broke her.
00:07:21What are you talking about?
00:07:22Mr. Collins, you know how much she cares for you.
00:07:50Don't touch me.
00:07:52Are you trying to drug me again?
00:07:54Mr. Collins, you're burning up.
00:07:59Where are you taking me?
00:08:01The hospital.
00:08:07She asked me to give you this before she left tonight.
00:08:11It's your signed copy.
00:08:13What do you mean she left?
00:08:31Ashley.
00:08:32Carter, I think I left my favorite earrings in your bed.
00:08:36I'll go check.
00:08:40Yep, found them.
00:08:42They'll be waiting for you when you get back.
00:08:46Sir, the documents.
00:08:50Put them in my office.
00:08:52I'll look at them later.
00:08:53Yes, sir.
00:08:55And don't be fooled, Helen.
00:08:56She may love me, but she loves being Mrs. Collins more than anything.
00:09:03Daddy, Mommy left?
00:09:05Where is she?
00:09:06I want my strawberry milkshake.
00:09:08Don't worry, baby.
00:09:10She'll be back.
00:09:11She's got nowhere else to go.
00:09:30Welcome back, Dr. Zoe.
00:09:36Welcome back, Dr. Zoe.
00:09:40Zoe, you're finally back.
00:09:44Director, it's been too long.
00:09:46You know, if you hadn't left for marriage, you'd be running this place by now.
00:09:50Thank God you're back.
00:09:52I thought you'd be locked in that house forever.
00:09:54Well, I'm getting a divorce.
00:09:56I filed the papers, and in a month, I'll be free.
00:10:00Divorced?
00:10:11I'd say congratulations, and welcome back, Zoe.
00:10:15Ethan, it's been a while.
00:10:23My research, my notes, the only things from this house still worth taking.
00:10:33Mommy?
00:10:34Who were you expecting?
00:10:44Nora, you shouldn't watch the iPad for so long.
00:10:47It's bad for your eyes.
00:10:53Miss Ashley lets me.
00:10:54You're always ruining everything.
00:10:56Nora!
00:10:57Get out.
00:10:58I don't want to hear you anymore.
00:11:03Nora!
00:11:04Nora, it's been three hours.
00:11:06Open the door.
00:11:07No, you're annoying.
00:11:08Miss Ashley will come play with me.
00:11:10Nora!
00:11:13Miss Ashley, I missed you!
00:11:17Why is this annoying brat always here?
00:11:20Fine.
00:11:21At least I could use her to get closer to Carter.
00:11:25Nora, let Mommy in.
00:11:27It's so cold.
00:11:29Daddy, Miss Ashley, let's play Lego.
00:11:32When did Nora start hating me?
00:11:36Mommy!
00:11:37Hugs!
00:11:41I love you, Mommy.
00:11:42Nora, let's go.
00:11:45Your grandparents are waiting.
00:11:47Mommy comes too?
00:11:48No.
00:11:52She can't.
00:11:55The doctor said Nora needs more protein at this stage.
00:11:58I'll make her favorite fish today.
00:12:00Promise me you won't grow up to be like your mom.
00:12:03She's just a housewife.
00:12:05She cooks and cleans all day and is totally dependent on your dad.
00:12:08It's sad.
00:12:10Mommy is sad?
00:12:30Miss Ashley, I wish you were my mommy.
00:12:31Bye.
00:12:42Oh.
00:12:42Mm-hmm.
00:12:43Da-du-ba.
00:12:44Ooh.
00:12:44Ba-du-ba.
00:12:46Ba-du-ba.
00:12:46Ba-du-ba.
00:12:47No!
00:12:48Oh, this is Cullen's.
00:12:54Your body temperature dropped dangerously low.
00:12:57And if it weren't for your nanny finding you,
00:13:00you wouldn't have made it.
00:13:01Now you just need plenty of rest and to stay warm.
00:13:05My own child almost killed me.
00:13:14Thanks.
00:13:16Zoe?
00:13:18What are you doing here?
00:13:19God, you're pale.
00:13:22Is everything okay?
00:13:23I'm okay.
00:13:25Ms. Zoe!
00:13:28You're Mia.
00:13:29Yeah.
00:13:31Remember this little one?
00:13:33When the car accident took my sister and brother-in-law
00:13:35three years ago,
00:13:37and I was too busy and overwhelmed,
00:13:39so I asked you to help me look after her for a few days.
00:13:43She hasn't stopped talking about you since.
00:13:45I missed you so much, Ms. Zoe.
00:13:48You gave me this bunny.
00:13:49I named her bun-bun.
00:13:51I sleep with her every single night.
00:13:54I really, really like you, Ms. Zoe.
00:13:59I watched this kid for a week,
00:14:01just a week,
00:14:02and she never forgot me.
00:14:07Do you want to have bun-bun, Ms. Zoe?
00:14:10But my own daughter,
00:14:11the one I gave everything to,
00:14:14she locked me out on that freezing balcony
00:14:16just to get away from me.
00:14:18You're always ruining everything.
00:14:20Nora!
00:14:28Ethan.
00:14:31Take me back to the Collins house.
00:14:33I want to get my research.
00:14:35I'm cutting ties with that house,
00:14:37with that life,
00:14:38for good.
00:14:44Mommy?
00:14:45Mrs. Collins!
00:14:47Thank goodness you're all right.
00:14:49Mr. Collins is in his office.
00:14:51I'll let him know that you're back.
00:14:53Don't bother.
00:14:53I won't be staying long.
00:14:58It was just a goof last night.
00:15:01Mommy's fine now.
00:15:06Mommy, where are you going?
00:15:08I'm leaving this house.
00:15:11Nora,
00:15:13try to eat something healthy,
00:15:15not just snacks.
00:15:17And don't watch the screen all day.
00:15:19Your health is the only thing
00:15:20I was concerned about.
00:15:22And,
00:15:23baby,
00:15:25whatever happens,
00:15:26just take care of yourself.
00:15:33Mommy?
00:15:40Goodbye,
00:15:40Carter and Nora.
00:15:43Let's go.
00:15:48Okay.
00:15:49I'm going to shoot the paperwork
00:15:50over in the morning
00:15:51and seal the deal.
00:15:56Wait.
00:15:56Is this the document
00:15:58Zoe had me sign before?
00:15:59Daddy!
00:16:00Mom!
00:16:01Mommy's leaving!
00:16:06Mommy's leaving!
00:16:09She didn't stay, huh?
00:16:11Maybe she went to see Grandma in Europe.
00:16:13Relax.
00:16:15She'll be back.
00:16:17Weird.
00:16:18Zoe didn't tell me this time.
00:16:21Whatever.
00:16:24Can we go see Grandma too?
00:16:26You want to go?
00:16:28Oh!
00:16:29Miss Ashley's inviting us skiing tomorrow.
00:16:38Zoe.
00:16:39If you need a place to stay,
00:16:41I have an extra apartment by the lab.
00:16:43Then don't worry about imposing.
00:16:45It's just sitting empty.
00:16:47Thank you, Ethan.
00:16:49I owe you.
00:16:55A whole week?
00:16:56A whole week?
00:16:57Mommy didn't call me.
00:16:58She used to call me every day.
00:17:02Come on.
00:17:08Good morning, Miss Zoe.
00:17:10Good morning, Mia.
00:17:13Good morning, Mia.
00:17:17Good morning, Miss Zoe.
00:17:20Good morning, Mia.
00:17:22Hi, Zoe.
00:17:24You look well.
00:17:25You settling in all right?
00:17:26Yeah, absolutely.
00:17:28Well, Mia and I were thinking about going to the grocery store.
00:17:31Yeah.
00:17:32Figured you were still unpacking and could use a little trip.
00:17:35You want to join us?
00:17:36I'm pretty pleased, Miss Zoe.
00:17:39Okay.
00:17:40I just have to get changed really quick.
00:17:43Huh?
00:17:43We'll wait outside.
00:17:45Yay.
00:17:47It must be Mommy.
00:17:51Mommy?
00:17:52Hey, sweetie.
00:17:52It's Ashley.
00:17:54Oh, Miss Ashley.
00:17:56Your dad told me you love picnic, so we're going tomorrow.
00:18:00Just you, me, and him.
00:18:02Yeah.
00:18:02Yeah, I love picnic.
00:18:04Great.
00:18:04Let's go to the supermarket today to get some supplies.
00:18:07Okay.
00:18:15Oh.
00:18:17Everything okay?
00:18:18I think I got something in my eye.
00:18:20Okay, great.
00:18:21Let me take a look.
00:18:23Hold the cell.
00:18:24I went inside last year.
00:18:33Why is Mommy holding that other kid's hand?
00:18:36And why is she kissing that other uncle?
00:18:38Does she have a new family now?
00:18:40Does she have a new family now?
00:18:43Zoe, what the hell are you doing?
00:18:55So, did Mommy, like, disappear?
00:18:57What's wrong?
00:18:59Nothing.
00:19:00It's just a trick of the light.
00:19:02Probably.
00:19:04Zoe couldn't be here.
00:19:05That woman lives for Nora and me.
00:19:08She should never be with another man and child.
00:19:10I'm just overtired.
00:19:13Come on.
00:19:13Let's get out of here.
00:19:17You can set those there.
00:19:27Thank you for everything.
00:19:30You don't have to thank me.
00:19:31You were here for Mia when I couldn't be.
00:19:34But the rent, I...
00:19:36Just be here for Mia when you can.
00:19:40That's...
00:19:40I'll ask.
00:19:42She misses you.
00:19:43And honestly, so do I.
00:19:47Please, Ms. Zoe.
00:19:49You'll play with me and bun bun?
00:19:52Of course, I'll play with you.
00:19:54Pinky's where?
00:19:57Is that a wound on your finger?
00:19:59Does it hurt?
00:20:09It was kind of a wound, but it's fading.
00:20:12And soon it'll be gone forever.
00:20:23It's...
00:20:24Zoe's wedding ring.
00:20:28Ellen, when was Zoe here last?
00:20:32Uh, about a week ago, Mr. Collins.
00:20:35She ditched her ring.
00:20:37What game is she playing now?
00:20:43What's wrong with the coffee?
00:20:45I'm sorry, Mr. Collins.
00:20:47I...
00:20:47I can't make it right the way Mrs. Collins did.
00:20:51She always knew how long to steep the coffee.
00:20:55Perfect every time.
00:21:01Ew.
00:21:03This cake tastes weird, not like before.
00:21:06Your mother used to bake the cakes.
00:21:10She worked so hard to make it healthy and taste right.
00:21:15I'll do my best, but it's not the same.
00:21:20Daddy, will you call Mommy?
00:21:27I'm making this call for you, Nora.
00:21:30Not for myself.
00:21:37What?
00:21:39Mommy never misses your calls.
00:21:42What's this, Zoe?
00:21:43Playing hard to get.
00:21:51Everyone, this is Zoe.
00:21:54The sharpest mind I have ever met.
00:21:57Published in Nature before even graduating high school.
00:22:00Absolute genius.
00:22:03We used to call her the prodigy back in college.
00:22:06They're overselling it, really.
00:22:08The prodigy?
00:22:09Seriously?
00:22:11We all have credentials here.
00:22:12What makes her so special?
00:22:14Watch your tone, Mike.
00:22:15With all respect, Mr. West, just because you two go way back doesn't mean she walks right in.
00:22:19She's been out of research for years.
00:22:20How's that fair?
00:22:22Shouldn't you be baking cookies at home or something?
00:22:28Are you going to hit me now because you can't argue?
00:22:30Seriously?
00:22:33Your data's wrong.
00:22:36What?
00:22:37Your data's wrong.
00:22:40What?
00:22:41How dare you come in here?
00:22:43The data spike between days three and four?
00:22:45Too clean.
00:22:47Looks manufactured.
00:22:49Basic error.
00:22:49What?
00:22:50Bullshit.
00:22:51No, that can't be true.
00:22:56Spotted it in ten seconds.
00:22:59Still got it, prodigy.
00:23:01Anyone else want to question Dr. Zoe's place here?
00:23:08Great.
00:23:09Everyone back to work.
00:23:11Mr. Collins, here's the file on the nation's leading biotech institute.
00:23:16They've brought on a brilliant researcher.
00:23:19Her drug breakthrough has serious novella potential.
00:23:22If they greenlight our collab, Ethan West himself will handle the signing.
00:23:27Get it locked down.
00:23:32Two weeks.
00:23:34No calls.
00:23:35No return.
00:23:36Is this her petty revenge?
00:23:43Zoe here?
00:23:44Yeah?
00:23:45I think we can do that.
00:23:46I mean...
00:23:49Not taking it?
00:23:56We're getting a divorce.
00:23:57There's nothing left to say.
00:23:59Well, you've ghosted him for weeks.
00:24:03Seems like you've truly moved on.
00:24:09Looks like he really wants to talk.
00:24:11Maybe he wants to talk about the details of the divorce.
00:24:22You want to talk about the agreement?
00:24:24Hey, Zoe, it's James.
00:24:28Oh.
00:24:30Hi, James.
00:24:31That's Carter's father.
00:24:33The only one in that family who ever treated me like a person.
00:24:36I'm calling about dinner tonight.
00:24:38Bring Carter and Nora, will you?
00:24:40Uh, James, Carter and I were, um...
00:24:44I know.
00:24:46I heard you haven't been home in weeks.
00:24:48Don't you worry, dear.
00:24:50I'll hit Carter.
00:24:52I at least owe James a goodbye.
00:24:55Okay.
00:24:57I'll be there.
00:25:00Zoe, you did it.
00:25:02The trials were a huge success.
00:25:04Wait.
00:25:05Are you saying...
00:25:06I'm saying you're gonna win the Nobel Prize!
00:25:14Zoe, this is huge.
00:25:16Nobel-worthy.
00:25:17Ah, I'm taking us to dinner tonight.
00:25:20We're gonna celebrate, big time!
00:25:22Ugh.
00:25:23Thank you, Selena.
00:25:24But...
00:25:25Can I take a rain check?
00:25:27I have something I can't miss tonight.
00:25:30The Collins Family Farewell Dinner.
00:25:36Excuse me, how are you?
00:25:37Thanks, Grandma.
00:25:38Who is your boy?
00:25:39Really?
00:25:40Very good choice.
00:25:42Yes.
00:25:50Good to see you, James.
00:25:52You too, dear.
00:25:54Where are, uh...
00:25:55Carter and Laura?
00:25:56They'll be along.
00:25:57You didn't come together?
00:25:59Please.
00:26:01Carter, my golden boy?
00:26:03With some backwater nobody like her?
00:26:06She should be grateful she's still carrying our name.
00:26:13Pardon the interruption.
00:26:14May I pour your wine?
00:26:15No.
00:26:16We're fine.
00:26:17Leave us.
00:26:21You?
00:26:22Pour the wine.
00:26:27Hello?
00:26:28Are you deaf?
00:26:30My mother is talking to you.
00:26:50Help yourselves.
00:26:55She used to beg to pour us wine.
00:26:59What is wrong with her?
00:27:01Who knows?
00:27:03Maybe she forgot to take her pills today.
00:27:08The old me was the one who was medicated, thinking I needed your approval.
00:27:19Well, now we're all here.
00:27:29Give it back.
00:27:30Give it back.
00:27:31It looks ugly on you.
00:27:33Here you go, Miss Ashley.
00:27:36Wow.
00:27:38Look at that.
00:27:39What?
00:27:39My brother's already upgraded.
00:27:42You're done, Zoe.
00:27:47Carter, have you lost your mind bringing this woman here?
00:27:50Zoe is your wife.
00:27:51My wife?
00:27:54Disappeared for weeks.
00:27:56Abandoned her family.
00:27:58Ashley stepped up and took care of Nora.
00:28:00You should thank her.
00:28:04You're married.
00:28:07This is just a little fling.
00:28:09This is your family.
00:28:12I see.
00:28:14So this is your game.
00:28:17No explanation.
00:28:19Not even mad.
00:28:22I know you're not satisfied with the marriage.
00:28:25So, don't worry.
00:28:27You can go and find a new wife now.
00:28:34Zoe, I know you're hurting.
00:28:36I'll talk to him.
00:28:37Ah.
00:28:39Playing the victim for dad.
00:28:41How pathetic.
00:28:52Mommy, I want the best piece.
00:29:00Hey.
00:29:02Nora just asked you to save the best piece of steak.
00:29:05Are you deaf or something?
00:29:09She's eight.
00:29:10She knows how to cut her own food.
00:29:17Ashley, will you cut it for me?
00:29:23Mine as well.
00:29:25Don't dally.
00:29:28Mine as well.
00:29:30Don't dally.
00:29:31Wait.
00:29:32Who do they think I am?
00:29:33They're made.
00:29:35Um.
00:29:38Of course.
00:29:39I'd be delighted.
00:29:40Hey, hey, hey.
00:29:51Ow.
00:29:53I'm sorry.
00:29:54I'm just so tired after looking after Nora all week.
00:29:58I can't possibly hold a steak knife right now.
00:30:06This is for you, actually.
00:30:09Thank you for taking care of Nora.
00:30:12It's gorgeous.
00:30:15You're so sweet, Carter.
00:30:26Is that for me?
00:30:28For our wedding anniversary?
00:30:29It's for work.
00:30:31Not you.
00:30:33A marriage built on a scheme doesn't deserve anniversaries.
00:30:37Or gifts.
00:30:43She wants the necklace.
00:30:45Fine.
00:30:46If she begs for it, I can buy her a new one.
00:30:50I don't want any gift from you anymore.
00:31:00Thank you, James.
00:31:03This is my last dinner with the Collins family.
00:31:06Carter and I are done.
00:31:14Zoey, wait!
00:31:22Carter, explain this.
00:31:24God only knows what the hell she's up to now.
00:31:26She's clearly upset over the necklace.
00:31:29She's playing hard to get.
00:31:30It's classic.
00:31:32She wants you to chase after her.
00:31:35Ugh.
00:31:36Mommy's so petty.
00:31:38Well, why don't I go apologize and talk to her?
00:31:41Clear the air if you want.
00:31:47Walking out mid-meal?
00:31:50Charming manners.
00:31:53Does it hurt?
00:31:54Watching your husband and your daughter choose me?
00:32:00Does it hurt?
00:32:02Watching your husband and your daughter choose me?
00:32:04You're really proud of something that I already threw away.
00:32:07Nora's robes.
00:32:08Carter's necklace.
00:32:09They're all mine.
00:32:11And soon, the Miss Collins title will be too.
00:32:16Oh!
00:32:18Really?
00:32:19This again?
00:32:20Daddy!
00:32:21Look!
00:32:21Mommy is stealing from Miss Ashley!
00:32:23Let's make it interesting.
00:32:25You wanna make a bet?
00:32:26If we both fell in,
00:32:27who do you think your husband and daughter would save?
00:32:30You?
00:32:31Or me?
00:32:36Help!
00:32:37Help!
00:32:38I can't swim!
00:32:39Help!
00:32:42Help!
00:32:44Help!
00:32:45I can't swim!
00:32:48Help!
00:32:49Save Miss Ashley first!
00:32:51She can't swim!
00:32:51Help!
00:32:52Help!
00:32:54You're okay!
00:32:59She snatched the necklace.
00:33:01I just wanted the gift you gave me back.
00:33:03Help!
00:33:03She tried to drown me...
00:33:05Why does she hate me so much?
00:33:10Help!
00:33:10Help!
00:33:30Miss Zoe's awake! Miss Zoe's awake!
00:33:38What happened?
00:33:39Mia and I found you unconscious in the water. We rushed you to the hospital.
00:33:45The doctor said you were adrift too long and it makes you weak.
00:33:47You were asleep for a long time.
00:33:52Thank you for saving me.
00:33:56Zoe, why were you in the water?
00:33:59I guess the people who I used to call family finally abandoned me.
00:34:06Don't be sad, Miss Zoe. If they left you, Uncle Ethan and I will be your new family and we'll
00:34:14never leave you.
00:34:45Just take it easy and get some rest, okay? Your only job right now is to rest up at home.
00:34:51I missed you so much, Miss Zoe. I promise we'll come visit you every single day.
00:35:04Mia, Ethan told me that you found me by the pool. So, I want to give this to you as
00:35:09a thank you.
00:35:11Wow. Thank you so much. I love it. And we'll cherish it forever.
00:35:18Got a special for Nora. She loved bows. Whatever. Might as well go to someone who'll cherish it.
00:35:28Ethan, is there something on my face?
00:35:31No, just a little jealous of me is all.
00:35:35My bad. I guess I should have gotten you a thank you gift too.
00:35:38I'm just teasing you. Seeing you happy and safe. It's the best gift I can ask for.
00:35:48Thank you, Ethan, for everything.
00:35:53Get some rest. Me and I will be back tomorrow.
00:35:57Yeah.
00:36:06Can Miss Zoe be my new mommy?
00:36:12I know you're planning to adopt me, Uncle Leeson.
00:36:15And if you're going to be my new daddy, I want Miss Zoe to be my new mommy. Please?
00:36:25Mia, that...
00:36:27That's grown up stuff.
00:36:30And...
00:36:30It's not up to just me.
00:36:33Well...
00:36:34Try hard to win her over.
00:36:36And don't let anyone else take her this time. Like Carter.
00:36:43Where'd you learn to talk like that, kiddo?
00:36:46I figured it out.
00:36:49Come on.
00:37:15Mr. Collins, it's Nora's first day of school. She and Miss Ashley are awaiting you.
00:37:21Okay.
00:37:31Don't worry, Carter. I'll take great care of Nora this semester.
00:37:39Let me just use Nora to get to Carter. In due time, that idiot will be out and I'll be
00:37:45the new Mrs. Collins.
00:37:54Everyone, say hello to Mia West. She's joining our class today. Please make her feel welcome.
00:38:01Mia, you can take the empty seat next to Nora.
00:38:04Okay.
00:38:11Hello.
00:38:13Why'd you bring a toy bunny?
00:38:14My favorite auntie gave it to me. I want to keep it with me.
00:38:23The type that mom used to give me.
00:38:28Hmm? What'd you say? A dream.
00:38:31My mom used to get me a million Buzz and Bunnies, but they're so boring.
00:38:36I just asked the maid to just throw them out.
00:38:39But Miss Ashley got me this brand new Apple Watch.
00:38:42Way cooler than some dumb bunny and bow.
00:38:45Why wouldn't you like a present from your mom, huh?
00:38:48Because Miss Ashley said it's more expensive than better.
00:38:52Expensive? But your mom's love is priceless.
00:38:56Like my bunny and bow.
00:38:59If my favorite auntie gave it to me, I would love it no matter what.
00:39:03It's super duper special.
00:39:05Is a bunny and a bow really that special?
00:39:07No.
00:39:13Zoe, you look awesome.
00:39:15We were totally freaking out.
00:39:17Glad to see you back on your feet.
00:39:18Thanks. I'm feeling much better.
00:39:21Great.
00:39:22Because, fantastic news, your drug research has been officially nominated for the Nobel Prize in Medicine.
00:39:34No excuses tonight. You have to come celebrate with us.
00:39:39My treat. Celebrating a recovery and a Nobel nomination.
00:39:48Welcome to the woman's...
00:39:51Bella.
00:39:52That's a girl with Bella.
00:39:53Hello.
00:39:55Oh, hi. How are you?
00:39:56Hello. Hello.
00:39:58Thank you very much.
00:40:01Time.
00:40:05Zoe?
00:40:11Carter, what's wrong? What are you looking at?
00:40:13I thought I just saw Zoe.
00:40:15Zoe? Here, no way.
00:40:18Besides us, it's the Bio Institute's shindig tonight.
00:40:21Or he's just a housewife.
00:40:23Could never be a scientist.
00:40:25Yeah.
00:40:27Let's sit down.
00:40:32Carter, this Michelin star place is so great. Thank you.
00:40:37Let's just call it an apology for Zoe pushing in the water.
00:40:39I understand Mrs. Collins is just upset.
00:40:43But honestly, what kind of woman leaves her family for a month?
00:40:47What kind of wife?
00:40:50What kind of mother does that?
00:40:53It's just painfully selfish.
00:40:56She'll be back.
00:40:58It's not a question of if, but when.
00:41:01Thank goodness Zoe dumped that loser and came back to us.
00:41:05This breakthrough is all you.
00:41:08Well, cheers to the Nobel Prize.
00:41:15I'll be right back.
00:41:18It's so good to finally celebrate, honestly.
00:41:20Oh, yeah.
00:41:22Zoe, what the hell are you doing here?
00:41:23Why don't you come back home?
00:41:29Your home seems crowded enough, don't you think?
00:41:31You pushed Ashley in the water, didn't even apologize, and now you're throwing a tantrum and refusing to come home?
00:41:36Do you even care about this family at all?
00:41:38Come with me now.
00:41:40We are getting a divorce. I'm not going anywhere with you.
00:41:44Are you threatening me? Come home with me or I will make that divorce real.
00:41:49She said no. Get the message.
00:41:51And who the hell are you?
00:41:52I'm her best friend.
00:41:56So, you're hanging out with the little friends from the BioGenius Squad?
00:41:59Don't you feel a bit too ordinary?
00:42:03Ordinary? Zoe? Are you blind?
00:42:06Selina, don't even waste your breath.
00:42:08Carter.
00:42:10Laura wants to go home.
00:42:12I expect to see you at home tonight. Is that clear?
00:42:18What happened?
00:42:20Nothing.
00:42:21How dare she ignore what I said and still not come home?
00:42:25What the hell is she doing out there?
00:42:27In a historic move, Dr. Zoe and her team at the Bio-Research Institute have been nominated for the Nobel
00:42:34Prize in Medicine for their pioneering drug therapy.
00:42:37Dr. Zoe Winters could become the first woman from her country in nearly a decade to receive the honor.
00:42:45Dr. Zoe? The Nobel Prize?
00:42:50Is that Mrs. Collins?
00:42:52Total coincidence. Zoe was too busy helping Nora and me. And she's no scientist.
00:42:58Well, if she didn't run herself ragged keeping this family afloat, she might have actually won the Nobel Prize.
00:43:06Stop imagining things.
00:43:10It's not her.
00:43:12Maybe I pushed too far.
00:43:14No. She's just being dramatic.
00:43:21Yeah.
00:43:22Mr. Collins, the meeting with the Research Institute is set up at 10 a.m. this Thursday.
00:43:27Good. I'll be there.
00:43:32Wait.
00:43:33Didn't you have a doctor's appointment today? Why are you here?
00:43:36The doctor gave me the all clear.
00:43:38And I was going stir-crazy at home, so I figured I'd come in.
00:43:42Well, I see you're already on to the next big thing.
00:43:46Couldn't sit still, could you, Miss Hotshot Biologist?
00:43:50Don't mind me. You guys go ahead.
00:43:54I've got a meeting with the CEO who's pretty keen on the drug you developed.
00:43:57He wants to collaborate.
00:43:59You want to sit in?
00:44:00No. I'll pass.
00:44:02I'm not big on business deals, and I'm still getting my strength back.
00:44:06Of course. Wait for me. We'll get lunch after.
00:44:20Zoe.
00:44:22What the hell are you doing here?
00:44:25I work here.
00:44:27Work?
00:44:28So you're a janitor now?
00:44:30No.
00:44:32You smell like hot garbage.
00:44:35She'd rather pick up trash here than come back home.
00:44:40Where have you been all this time? You just vanished.
00:44:42None of your business.
00:44:45You're my wife.
00:44:47Everything you do is my business.
00:44:49Like I still am?
00:44:51Looks like you've already found my replacement.
00:44:53Enough with your little digs. I'm running out of patience.
00:44:58Oh no!
00:45:00What a mess. I'm so sorry.
00:45:03Guess the janitor better get on that.
00:45:05This is a research institute. Not your little playground. Cut the crap.
00:45:08How dare a janitor talk to me like that?
00:45:11Stop! Stop!
00:45:17Mr. Collins, this is Ethan West from the institute.
00:45:19He's the one handling the collaboration.
00:45:22Mr. West, I've heard so much about you.
00:45:24Nice to meet you, Mr. West. I'm Ashley.
00:45:31I'm Ashley.
00:45:32So, do you know these people?
00:45:38No.
00:45:39Good. At least she knows when to keep her mouth shut.
00:45:42The last thing I need is anyone thinking my wife is some pathetic janitor.
00:45:47Wouldn't that be a stain on my reputation?
00:45:50You can take a rest.
00:45:52I'll handle this.
00:45:54Oh, weird.
00:45:55Why is the boss going to bat over a janitor?
00:46:00Let's go to the conference room.
00:46:07I hear you're interested in collaboration.
00:46:11Let's hear it.
00:46:12Yes, Mr. West.
00:46:14Our CEO is deeply impressed with the recent breakthrough, especially the new drug.
00:46:17We want to establish a long-term partnership.
00:46:20We're prepared to offer full financial backing and technical resources to support the project.
00:46:24It's a win-win.
00:46:26Carter Collins, CEO of Collins Group.
00:46:28Carter Collins, Zoe's ex-husband?
00:46:32No wonder.
00:46:35Mr. West.
00:46:41I'm confident our proposal speaks for itself.
00:46:45What do you think?
00:46:47We're not interested.
00:46:49What?
00:46:50We're not interested.
00:46:53What?
00:46:55You didn't even read the proposal.
00:46:57I have my reasons.
00:46:58And that's all you need to know.
00:47:00Mr. West, if you would just look at our proposal-
00:47:01I made my decision.
00:47:05I'll let you two see yourselves out.
00:47:06Okay.
00:47:20So, how'd it go?
00:47:22Do we pop the champagne?
00:47:24He...
00:47:26turned us down.
00:47:27What?
00:47:29How could he say no?
00:47:30No.
00:47:34Look, Carter.
00:47:35Is that Mrs. Collins dating Ethan West?
00:47:40Look, Carter.
00:47:42Is that Mrs. Collins dating Ethan West?
00:47:46Is that why she hasn't come home to you?
00:47:48Zoe.
00:47:50How dare you?
00:47:58Ms. Zoe!
00:48:04This little one talks about you all the time.
00:48:07I miss you so much, Ms. Zoe.
00:48:11I tried to come visit you, but Uncle Ethan told me I have school now.
00:48:18So I couldn't.
00:48:20I miss you too, sweetheart.
00:48:21But look, I'm all better now.
00:48:23And you have to keep going to school.
00:48:24It's important.
00:48:25Keep learning.
00:48:28Okay.
00:48:30Zoe, we have a little favor to ask.
00:48:32Sweetie, you wanna ask?
00:48:34Yes.
00:48:36Tomorrow...
00:48:38Is parent day.
00:48:40And all the other kids will have their moms and their dads.
00:48:45And Uncle Ethan has to go on a trip from work tomorrow, so...
00:48:51Could you call us?
00:48:54My mom.
00:48:58Could you call us?
00:49:01My mom.

00:58:08recently a near drowning doc say she'd been in the water for hours she's still recovering from it all
00:58:22no way
00:58:24no way she knows how to swim and she's the one who pushed ashley in
00:58:29over dana nicholas mr collins if she really could swim she wouldn't have been out there that long
00:58:33doc say that if ethan west hadn't gotten there in time she wouldn't have made it
