00:09¡Gracias!
00:30Well, it was supposed to be a friendly, easy-going game, but, uh, who knew it'd basically turn into a
00:35cage match.
00:36You invited your ex-wife's current lovers to compete against each other.
00:42What else would you expect?
00:47One minute.
00:53Hey.
00:57What is all this?
00:58Samantha and Tyrell's cotillion shoes.
01:01Trust me, they are going to want to start wearing them around the house and breaking them in.
01:05Otherwise, it is blister city and a ruined debut.
01:08Thank you for bringing those, but Martin and I had it handled.
01:12You didn't have to go out of your way.
01:14Supporting my grandchildren is never an inconvenience.
01:19Uh-huh.
01:20Are you sure that's all this is?
01:24Okay, fine. Samantha called me.
01:27She said that you have been working a lot and was worried that you wouldn't remember.
01:33Think about it from her point of view.
01:35Sure, I've been locked into the piece I'm working on, but I would never let work get in the way
01:40of my parental duties.
01:41You know that.
01:42I do, but Samantha's teenage brain may not.
01:46She said you have been anxious and that you have had a hard time focusing when you were helping her
01:53with her psych project.
01:55She said you also took off in the middle of the night to go see a source.
01:59Wow.
02:00Okay, I didn't realize she was feeling so neglected.
02:04What else did she have to say?
02:07That she is concerned about the story you're working on.
02:11Which now has me worried, too.
02:14Are her instincts right?
02:16Are you involved in something dangerous?
02:23Yo.
02:24Did you say anything about seeing me at the hospital?
02:27Did you?
02:28I came close.
02:29I almost told Ashley everything.
02:31And by everything, what do you mean?
02:33Look, man, I'm just trying to get ahead of it.
02:34All right, tell Ashley everything I've been involved with before you and your whole squad show up with your guns
02:40drawn and your cuffs ready, but I didn't.
02:41All right?
02:42Good.
02:42Because telling her would have been your worst mistake.
02:45Doesn't make a difference.
02:46Everything's going to blow up now that I know you're undercover.
02:49Look, I don't want Ashley to think that I've been lying about it all, especially my feelings for her.
02:54Your feelings?
02:55What?
02:57Don't ever let me hear you say that again.
02:59No.
02:59I'm not undercover.
03:01You got it?
03:33Don't ever let me hear you say that again.
03:35And to think you didn't want to try the club's infrared sauna.
03:39I told you the clubs would be better than that old wooden box you're used to.
03:43You say old.
03:45I say tried and true.
03:46You can play semantics all you want, but I see that glow.
03:50Welcome to our version of the Mile High Club.
03:53What do you say to me paying you back with a real Mile High experience?
03:58I'd say how soon are we leaving?
04:00Okay.
04:03Okay.
04:06So, have you thought any more about having dinner with the kids?
04:09I have.
04:11I'm sorry.
04:12My answer's still no.
04:17The most wonderful news.
04:19The shoot for Tatum Stewart is a go.
04:22The photog schedule finally opened up and we snagged a spot.
04:26Oh.
04:27So, who did she hire to do the campaign?
04:30Only the best photog in the biz.
04:33The one and only Olek.
04:36Well, present company excluded, of course.
04:39No need for all of that.
04:40No, no.
04:41Olek is a rare talent.
04:43I have no doubt that he'll get what Tatum needs from our superstar.
04:46Don't be so sure, baby cakes.
04:50Okay.
04:51Why am I the only one excited?
04:53I'm excited.
04:55I'm excited.
04:56And the model?
05:06Danny.
05:08What's going on?
05:12One of Chelsea's last gigs was an anniversary shoot for a magazine.
05:17And they gathered all of their previous cover models to highlight past, present, and future.
05:23Right.
05:24I think I remembered that one.
05:25Elegant Sedge.
05:27Mm-hmm.
05:27Yeah.
05:28Flew off the shelves.
05:29It was a major success.
05:30But Olek was the photographer.
05:33And I heard him complain about the older models.
05:36He said they were difficult to work with.
05:37He said that he had to do too much retouching to get a good photo.
05:41He basically buried all of the older models in the back.
05:43He was not kind.
05:45Why have I never heard this story?
05:47Because I filed it away and assumed I'd never have to work with him.
05:50But what am I supposed to do now?
05:52What if I can't give Tatum what she needs because I'm too self-conscious about Olek?
05:57Danny.
05:58Baby.
05:59You were born for this.
06:01Don't let that man's outdated views get in the way of what you know you can do.
06:06Exactly.
06:06You know modeling is like muscle memory.
06:09Your body is going to get in front of that camera and just take over.
06:12So pull yourself together, all right?
06:17The last thing this agency needs is for you to tighten up and ruin this.
06:21Pamela, dear, is that the way you speak to our other models?
06:24Because that was awful advice.
06:32Is that pain from the strained muscle or my bringing up Nicole?
06:38You're just a regular Leslie Jones today, huh?
06:43Look, I didn't plan on gathering Nicole's roster.
06:48Well, then enlighten me on how you, Carlton, and Kyle all ended up playing together.
06:54Well, I invited Isaiah.
06:57Eve was a boyfriend.
06:58Yeah, I wanted to get to know him.
07:00Obviously, I needed to have a team, so I added Andre and Carlton in the mix.
07:06You know, Carlton and I used to ball together all the time, so I figured it would be a good
07:10way for us to get back to normal.
07:12And how did Kyle get involved?
07:14Now, see, that was Carlton.
07:17Maybe he was the one who needed to get out some aggression.
07:19The last thing I need in my life is more drama.
07:24So you're holding steady.
07:27No second, third, or 70th thoughts about Nicole moving on with your business partner?
07:32Oh, I have thoughts.
07:34But when I go there, I have this vision that reels me back in.
07:40Of?
07:41I'm a sassy, sultry nurse that makes me think.
07:49Oh, well, those thought patterns look quite sexy on you, Dr. Richardson.
07:55Hmm.
07:57You know what else looks sexy on me?
07:59You.
08:02Vanessa, what can I say to make this better?
08:05I just don't feel right about arranging a first meeting with your daughter when she's still dealing with the death
08:10of her father.
08:13Considering I can't convince you that she's better, I'll just have to accept this.
08:17We have other important things to discuss anyway.
08:19Good.
08:20Lay it on me.
08:22Our laundry service.
08:24It's doing well, but I'm thinking it's time we bring in a few more loads.
08:28Maybe even add in some new colors?
08:32Being proactive will serve you well in this business.
08:35Being inquisitive, too.
08:37So what do you do with your laundry once it's clean, fluffed, and folded?
08:42I put it into a diversified investment portfolio.
08:46How specific?
08:48As I've said, this is my way of protecting you.
08:51Come on, just one thing about your latest investment.
08:55The clinic?
08:56Be serious.
08:57I want to know how your laundry investments progress for educational purposes.
09:04All right.
09:09Here's some advice for when you start sourcing your own opportunities.
09:14Make sure it's someone you trust to handle operations.
09:18My latest venture is a logistical nightmare.
09:21Delivery delays.
09:23Warehouse issues.
09:25Shipping mishaps.
09:26I mean, it's a bloody mess.
09:35Okay, no more sweet-talking until we ease your pain.
09:38Concentrate.
09:39Yes, ma'am.
09:41Okay, now there are a few ways you can do this without my help.
09:44Okay.
09:45It's really easy to access your hamstrings.
09:48You can do it like this.
09:49Bent over.
09:51You can do it in a seated position like this.
09:54Just pull forward.
09:56Got it?
09:57Okay.
09:58Let me see you try.
10:00Let me see you try.
10:01All right.
10:02Yeah.
10:05Okay.
10:12Is that just a gentle pull, or is that discomfort?
10:16Yeah, I'm feeling done.
10:18How about I just walk around?
10:20It'll loosen up.
10:22It'll be fine.
10:23Yeah?
10:23Just like you thought standing for hours in surgery wouldn't wreck your posterior chain.
10:27Look, I appreciate your professional input, but this isn't the first time I've tweaked a hamstring, okay?
10:35And it won't be the last until you learn to adequately stretch.
10:39Peace and love.
10:40Yeah, I try to model my life after that these days.
10:47Doctors.
10:48It's a combination therapy focused on injury management.
10:54Keep your leg elevated.
10:56Keep movement so you can increase your range of mobility.
10:59Mm-hmm.
10:59Pay attention, most importantly, to the cues your body gives you as you heal.
11:03Yeah.
11:04I gotta get out of here.
11:05I'll come check on you later.
11:06Yeah.
11:07Peace, love, and Shanice.
11:11That's all the brother needs in this world.
11:17I'm sorry Samantha called and got you worried.
11:21The kids, they're used to having my undivided attention.
11:25And so now when I'm on a work call or busy writing...
11:30And Samantha starts sending out an SOS.
11:32Yeah.
11:33I mean, I love her, but she wasn't exactly blessed with a ton of patience.
11:37Especially when she's not privy to every detail, which she wants every single time.
11:43Reminds me of her Aunt Kat.
11:46But seriously, I am a call away.
11:50Whatever you need.
11:52Potillion shoes, lunches, even if it's just a quiet afternoon so you can focus.
11:56Thank you, Nicole.
11:58That's very kind.
11:59Don't mean to mention it.
12:01I know Martin is in the thick of his campaign.
12:04You're working on something important.
12:07Mm-hmm.
12:08Something I have to assume is dangerous, since you won't answer my question directly.
12:15I don't understand.
12:17You're not undercover.
12:18The department doesn't know anything about this, and we need to keep it that way.
12:23All right, no disrespect, but why would I believe you?
12:25Ashley told me you're a detective, and apparently the best at it.
12:28If I was working at Angle, don't you think I would have arrested you by now?
12:32Come on, man, think.
12:34All right, you got a point.
12:35So, what is this all about?
12:38I owe somebody a lot of cash, and my salary doesn't even begin to cover it.
12:42Isn't that why people do this anyway?
12:43For money?
12:45Yeah, for me, it's my mom.
12:46You know, her medical bills are piling up, and I'm just, I'm her only lifeline.
12:50But why is cash a problem for you?
12:53Doesn't Naomi come for money?
12:54Couldn't you just ask her for help?
12:56Can you really stand there as a man and ask me that?
12:59It's my responsibility, not hers.
13:02And plus, we're dealing with a few other issues, and I'm not trying to pile on top of that.
13:07You almost had me there.
13:09Look around, man.
13:10This ain't no joke.
13:11I was just with Naomi and Ashley last night, and they had something very different to say about the state
13:16of your marriage.
13:17I operate out of tough love.
13:24You know that.
13:25Well, it's not working right now.
13:27All I can think about is when I made the announcement that I would be doing Tatum's line,
13:31and that reporter paralyzed me by calling out my age.
13:35You are Danny Dupree.
13:37You took your power back then, and you can do it now.
13:42Danny, you remember your Bali story.
13:44This is not the same thing.
13:45It is from where I'm sitting and who I'm seeing.
13:48The animal sanctuary campaign?
13:50I remember that.
13:51That went off without a hitch.
13:52I still have the prince.
13:53What are you not telling me?
13:55The creative director brought out an actual cobra for Danny to pose with.
13:59Well, so what?
13:59She's not afraid of snakes.
14:00I was scared out of my mind.
14:01You never said.
14:02Because everyone was treating it like it was rubber.
14:04Meanwhile, they're saying things like,
14:06you better rub off your perfume so you don't agitate the cobra,
14:09and if the cobra strikes, don't run.
14:11I had no idea.
14:13How did you handle it?
14:14Andre, I appreciate what you're trying to do,
14:17but that was many Dannys ago.
14:18I am no longer that wild, daring girl.
14:23Okay.
14:24Let me hear it.
14:26All right.
14:28First, I confirmed that our slithering friend had eaten recently,
14:32so I didn't look like his next meal.
14:34And then I used this trick to relax all of my muscles
14:37so I wouldn't come off as a threat.
14:39And?
14:40It was the best shot of the day.
14:42Exactly.
14:42Because my baby excels when she's challenged.
14:46Listen.
14:47Tatum would never have chosen you for her campaign
14:50if she didn't think you were the perfect person
14:52to represent her new line.
14:55Sadly, she chose Olek as her photographer.
15:02So, so I'm going to have to show that mononymous bastard
15:06what my seasoned ass is made of.
15:08Ugh, deal.
15:10Wonderful, wonderful.
15:11It's settled then.
15:13All right, I'm going to leave you two to it
15:14and go powder my nose before my next appointment.
15:16All right, I love you.
15:18I love you.
15:18Oh, she's so pretty.
15:20Ciao, ciao, ciao for now.
15:23See you.
15:24Love you.
15:24Yeah.
15:27If you were on set in Bali,
15:30would you have protected me?
15:33Woman, please.
15:35One Andre versus one snake.
15:38That cobra would have struck a pose
15:41and been begging for the spotlight.
15:44Come on.
15:47As you know, I'm very good at problem solving.
15:50Why don't you let me whip your latest venture into shape
15:53just like I did with Heart Attach?
15:55Heart Attach was doing fine before you came along.
15:57I don't recall you filing any complaint.
16:00Sure, it scratched an itch as a subscriber,
16:04but as an owner, I've doubled membership,
16:06increased our satisfaction ratings,
16:08and recruited some of the hottest talent in town.
16:11You have been a wonderful connector,
16:13but some opportunities require a little more distance.
16:17You don't need to have these fingers in everything.
16:21Yeah, yeah.
16:22You know where I'll be when this one starts falling apart.
16:25Right next to me.
16:26In bed.
16:31Pamela will be here any minute.
16:33We have a meeting.
16:34You don't want to give her a show?
16:35I don't work for free.
16:39Hey, hey.
16:46It's not that I'm avoiding the subject.
16:48It just seems dangerous and elusive
16:50because I can't go into specifics.
16:53I have sources to protect.
16:56I hear you.
16:57In our line of work,
16:59we have a duty to safeguard confidential information.
17:02Exactly.
17:03This could be a big story,
17:05and I just don't want to get scooped.
17:07Martin doesn't even know the details.
17:09How's he reacting to that?
17:13He understands why I can't talk openly about it.
17:16He respects my professional boundaries.
17:21I don't want to talk openly about it.
17:22I just promise me that you will reach out
17:24if you feel overwhelmed
17:25with the story, the kids, anything.
17:32I promise.
17:34And thank you again for the shoes.
17:53So you're saying I'm lying?
17:55I'm trying to understand.
17:57Naomi was gushing over the flowers you sent her.
17:59She even showed Ashley a picture.
18:01She kept them?
18:04Wow.
18:05I thought she was going to toss them in the trash
18:06after the last argument we had.
18:08So that's good to know.
18:09So she knows about your financial situation?
18:13She snooped through my phone
18:14and saw a message from my debt collector,
18:16and she was pissed.
18:17So I sent the flowers as a way to make it up with her.
18:21Well, Ashley was singing your praises, too.
18:22I don't think she'd do that.
18:23She knew her best friend's man was messing up.
18:26You think Naomi tells Ashley every aspect of her life?
18:29Listen, man, just because we're going through a few things
18:31doesn't mean you just put all your business
18:32on Front Street for everybody to know.
18:35But enough with the questions.
18:36I need some assurances from you.
18:38Like what?
18:39When you see me out here, I'm Rashad.
18:41You got it?
18:43Just Rashad.
18:44If somebody catches wind that I'm somebody else
18:46or that I'm a cop,
18:48that's a wrap for the both of us.
18:49Believe me.
18:50Whoa, whoa, whoa.
18:50When did your cover become all about me?
18:52Because if my chief of police father gets this first,
18:55he won't hesitate to throw me under the jail.
18:57And I'm taking you with me.
18:59He comes from a long line of cops.
19:01Life or death is the oath to him.
19:04Your own father would do that to you?
19:06Hell yeah, in a heartbeat.
19:07And if I get caught up because you run in your mouth,
19:10I'm taking you down.
19:12And then who's going to take care of mommy?
19:16We got a deal?
19:26Vanessa!
19:27Thank you so much for taking the time to meet with me.
19:31Of course.
19:32Thank you for your flexibility in meeting here.
19:34Oh, it's no problem at all.
19:35I was just finishing up with Danny.
19:36Listen, I'll get right to the point.
19:39I'm on the board of an organization called Femm Ploid,
19:43and we are very interested in Vanessa McBride Realty.
19:46I've heard of them.
19:47They do great things for female entrepreneurs and women-led businesses.
19:51Oh, I'm so glad that you've heard of us.
19:53We would like to feature you in our Shine a Light On program.
19:59This is a national campaign complete with profile write-up and a spot on our advisory board.
20:04Wow, I'm so flattered that my business is being acknowledged in this way.
20:09It's not only that.
20:10You also get an all-expenses-paid trip to New York City,
20:13where you'll get to mingle and network with businesswomen, politicians, and culture makers.
20:18How does that sound?
20:18Amazing.
20:19Better than amazing.
20:21Wonderful.
20:21I'm so happy to hear it.
20:23So, of course, there'll be a little bit of a vetting process, nothing out of the ordinary,
20:26just a quick internal check to make sure that we are all aligned with our chosen partners.
20:30You understand?
20:31Oh, sure.
20:32Sure.
20:33Of course.
20:33Now, once you pass, which I absolutely know you will,
20:36we'll set up the photo shoot and the interview.
20:40Money laundering has gotten such an ugly reputation,
20:44but really, if you think about it, it's just swapping my hard-earned dollars for yours.
20:49It's also a crime.
20:50I could end up in federal prison.
20:53I'll have someone reach out this week.
20:54Is email okay?
20:56Um, actually, that won't be necessary, Pamela.
20:59Oh, why not?
21:01Because as much as I appreciate the consideration,
21:04I'm going to have to turn down this opportunity.
21:08Oh.
21:10I'll have another one of those green juices, please.
21:14Oh, no.
21:33Well, you two sound like you're still enjoying wedded bliss.
21:39I want to sit to you, Joey.
21:41You jealous?
21:42Inspired.
21:43In fact, I was thinking of having that Anita Williams impersonator,
21:47the one that's saying at your wedding,
21:48come do some shows at the casino this fall.
21:54Hey, you two should come and renew your vows on your anniversary.
21:59We can do up one of the private rooms like a chapel, just like old times.
22:05Oh, unless...
22:06Unless what?
22:08Well, you're still, what, six months out?
22:11Mm-hmm.
22:13Well, that can be a long time, especially nowadays.
22:16Things change so quickly.
22:18And what's that supposed to mean?
22:20I think what Mr. Armstrong is saying is that he is rooting for us more than anyone else.
22:25Ten thousand times more, in fact.
22:28You know what, Joey?
22:29Here's what I'm going to do for you.
22:30When it's time for our renewal ceremony,
22:32I'm going to make sure that you and my girl Vanessa are seated right in the front row
22:36so that you can witness our unchanging and ever-growing love.
22:44I'm counting the days.
22:46Now, if you'll excuse me, I so rarely get to come to the country club.
22:50I'm going to explore the chef's private herb garden.
22:54Mm-hmm.
22:57Huh.
22:58You two clearly have some kind of an inside joke going on.
23:02Mm.
23:03Don't take him seriously.
23:04He's out of his mind.
23:05You heard him.
23:06He said he was going to go to the herb garden.
23:09You know.
23:11Herb.
23:13Some reason I can imagine that guy relaxing enough to partake.
23:17Yeah, but made you look.
23:21What am I going to do with you?
23:23Love me forever.
23:25And I'll do the same in return.
23:27Mm.
23:49Hey, I missed you.
23:51Slow your roll, lover boy.
23:53I am here in an official capacity first.
23:56I need to make sure you're healing well.
23:58Ah, this, uh, hands-on approach sounds enticing.
24:06Doctors truly are the worst patients.
24:09Do as I say, sir.
24:11Hmm.
24:11Or I'll have to punish you.
24:14You promise?
24:14Yeah.
24:19Ah, extend that leg out more.
24:21Really stretch that band.
24:23If I push any more, I'm going to overextend.
24:26Try.
24:28Mm-hmm.
24:28Ah.
24:29I told you already, that is not how you release the band.
24:32That's how you knocked everything over last time.
24:34Ah.
24:35Mm.
24:38How are you feeling?
24:39Ah, beat up.
24:41Better, thank you.
24:42You know, I, uh, couldn't even do this earlier.
24:48Oh.
24:50Another satisfied patient.
24:52So, the leg is better.
24:55Mm-hmm.
24:56Let's, uh, get the rest of that body checked out.
25:02I promise I'll go easier this time.
25:05Mm-hmm.
25:15You seem so excited about being honored.
25:18What happened?
25:19The timing is off, unfortunately.
25:22I don't know if you've heard.
25:23I'm in the middle of opening the Phoenix Street Free Clinic.
25:26Oh, I've heard rumblings about the clinic.
25:28I didn't know you were involved.
25:30I thought that was all the work of Leslie Thomas.
25:32The clinic is actually a memorial to my late husband, Doug.
25:36For his sake and for my children, I can't let anything pull my focus from that right now.
25:41Well, if it's timing that's the issue, we can always adjust on our end.
25:45You'll have plenty of time to open your clinic.
25:48It's not only that.
25:49Launching a business like this relies on community support.
25:52I would be worried that people thought my involvement with Femme Floyd was them thinking I was trying to manufacture
26:00donations.
26:01Oh, you see, this is why you're perfect.
26:04We only take honorees with integrity and purpose-driven missions of their own.
26:10Look, we'll adjust around your schedule, all right?
26:14But don't worry about it.
26:17Please, Pamela, this is difficult enough.
26:19I'd never forgive myself if the attention that's supposed to be focused on the clinic was rerouted to me.
26:25It just wouldn't be right.
26:27So, really, thank you.
26:30But no thank you.
26:32Hmm.
26:32Well, all right.
26:33I mean, I can't understand how difficult it is to open a business with a split focus.
26:39I'll decline on your behalf.
26:42But I'm keeping you in mind for the future.
26:44Thank you, Pamela.
26:46All right, you're very welcome.
26:48You have a lovely rest of your afternoon.
26:50You too.
26:51Okay.
26:58All hail, Nicole, Empress of the Reverse Harem.
27:02Oh, my God.
27:03Excuse me?
27:04Your sister's just playing around.
27:06A Reverse Harem is when the female protagonist in a novel is surrounded by all of her multiple love interests.
27:12What?
27:13I was just telling Dani about a friend who designs book covers.
27:17Reverse Harem is a huge romance genre.
27:19Mm-hmm.
27:20She's being coy, but she knows all about it.
27:22Mm-hmm.
27:23Andre here was just sweating it up with your multiple, multiple lovers.
27:28Okay.
27:28Clearly, I need a translator for whatever language you and Andre are speaking right now.
27:34Okay.
27:35A couple days ago, Uncle Ted got a couple of us together to hit the b-ball court.
27:40And then they hit each other.
27:42Wait, what?
27:43I didn't hear about a basketball game.
27:46A bunch of accomplished, sexy, glistening men battling it out over you, sissy.
27:52Isn't that the hottest thing you've ever heard?
27:54Andre, tell her.
27:56Come on, Dani.
27:57I do have a bro code to respect.
27:59And you have a wife code that takes precedence over that.
28:03Don't you remember our wedding vows?
28:05I vow to divulge every detail of my interactions to the lovely Dani Dupree for both her amusement
28:10and entertainment.
28:12You know, I wouldn't be surprised if you really did whisper that into the ear of that impersonator.
28:17I can barely remember that night.
28:19It's kind of haze it around the edges.
28:21Same.
28:21But you said I do, so it holds.
28:23Nicole, sit down so Andre can fill you in.
29:21Yeah?
29:23It's me
29:25Finally
29:25I've been over here ready to jump out of my skin
29:28What happened with Grayson, did you talk to him?
29:36There was a close call when we thought somebody overheard us
29:38But it was just a kick passing through
29:40Grayson's on board
29:41What'd you tell him?
29:43I fed him a sob story about owing somebody a lot of cash and he bought it
29:46Do you feel like you can trust him?
29:49I don't know 100%
29:50But I realized today that he has a lot to lose
29:53He has a sick mother to think about
29:55At least that's what he told me
29:56Did you do that deep dive on him?
29:58Yeah, the guy comes up clean
30:01How'd you leave it?
30:02I made it very clear that if he turns against me, it won't go down well
30:05So you're on track with your plan?
30:08I am
30:09Use this alliance to my advantage
30:11Get Grayson to fully open up to me
30:13And then turn him
30:14Having an inside source at Garland, it would crack this investigation wide open
30:19Exactly
30:19And then we can really find out who's running things
30:28Tell me who did it so I can do them
30:32Pamela Curtis works with this organization, Femm Floyd
30:36And they wanted to honor me as a woman leader in business
30:40It's a huge deal
30:43What's the problem?
30:44Comes with national recognition
30:47A written profile, social media piece
30:49And an internal vetting
30:53I see
30:54Relax
30:56I turned it down
30:57Extra eyes on me means too much visibility on us
30:59And I am not going to prison
31:02So I can attend a luncheon
31:05Well, I'm sorry you had to pass
31:07It sounds like something you wanted
31:09I did
31:11But like I told Pamela
31:12I need all of my focus to be on our clinic and Doug's legacy
31:15I don't want anything to overshadow that
31:17That's what's most important right now
31:22Doug was an upstanding member
31:24In this community
31:27That will be his lasting impression
31:30Not all these secrets that have come out
31:32And certainly not how he died
31:36He gave his life to his work and saving people
31:42That's how Donnell and Deanna will remember him
31:45He wasn't the sum of his many mistakes
31:48Mm-hmm
31:49Stop it
31:52Doug's legacy deserves better
31:54And I intend to make sure he is honored in the right way
31:58But
32:00I hope you know
32:01Just because I am focused on reclaiming his reputation
32:04It doesn't mean I am stuck in the past
32:10You are my future
32:13Why do you think I am pushing so hard for you to sit down with the kids?
32:17I want the people I love most in the world to be together
32:31How's the hammy?
32:32Mm
32:35Recovered
32:36You healed me
32:38Damn, I'm good
32:42You're the best thing to happen to me in a long time
32:44You know that?
32:47I never thought I'd be with a man like you
32:51What's a man like me?
32:53We come from completely different worlds
32:57Not really
32:59We're both healthcare professionals
33:01We both have
33:02You know what I mean
33:03You've lived in a mansion
33:05With
33:06More rooms than any place I've ever lived in combined
33:10You can afford to
33:11Stay in a fancy hotel for months on end
33:15Wow
33:16We were married for decades
33:18And
33:18Have grown kids
33:20My longest relationship has been
33:22Me and my hairstylist
33:24And it is an important one
33:26Yeah, and me and Miss Juanita are not breaking up anytime soon
33:32But that's not the point I was trying to make
33:35We're different
33:38So we come from different economic backgrounds
33:42So what?
33:44Why sell yourself short?
33:45You're smart, you're funny
33:46You're the strongest woman I know
33:50I know I'm great
33:52It's just
33:54It's taking more of an adjustment than I thought
33:58You remember how that lady reacted when I was your date at the country club?
34:01Mmm
34:03Like I didn't belong
34:06Anastasia?
34:07You put that old gossip in her place
34:11I'm the one that doesn't measure up
34:14Okay, you have to explain that
34:16I mean
34:18Last year, my reputation took a major hit
34:22Got exposed to all of Fairmont Crest as a liar, a cheater
34:27Deadbeat dad, basically cast aside
34:30No one took me seriously
34:33Until you
34:35You saved me, Shanice
34:38Gave me a sense of myself back
34:42It's been my pleasure
34:45I have an idea
34:48Why don't we forget where I came from
34:50And we forget where you came from
34:52And we create a whole new place together
34:56Just us
34:57And build our own little cocoon
35:01Our own galaxy
35:02Where I can give you all the good things that you deserve
35:09Miss Juanita included
35:12Danny is making it more than what it is
35:14Like I said, Uncle Ted gathered a couple of us to play basketball
35:19During the process, a couple of ribs
35:21And maybe some egos were bruised
35:22Tell her which ones
35:25Uncle Ted strained his hamstring
35:27And Carlton hurt his wrist
35:28And Kyle tweaked his elbow
35:30And my man got away without a scratch
35:32All your men are old and busted
35:36Grow up, Danny
35:38First of all, what were you all doing together?
35:41Is the hospital running their leave again?
35:43No, Uncle Ted wanted to get to know Eva's boyfriend, Isaiah, better
35:46So, yeah, he thought this would be a low-pressure way of doing that
35:50Now, how we all got pulled into it, I'm not really sure
35:52But if you do the math, that's you, Ted, Isaiah, Carlton, and Kyle
35:56That's only five
35:57Don't you need an even number to play?
35:59Yeah, there was another guy who jumped in
36:01Oh, did you get his number for Nicole?
36:04Did you ever stop?
36:06My sister, the recipient of the Distinguished Service Award
36:10And now Fairmont Crest's most eligible bachelorette
36:13Both titles I wear with pride
36:16I know, that's right
36:18I know, that's right
36:19I know, that's right
36:35I know, that's right
36:35I know, that's right
36:35I know, that's right
36:36I know, that's right
36:36I know, that's right
36:36I know, that's right
36:36I know, that's right
36:37I know, that's right
36:37I know, that's right
36:38I know, that's right
36:38I know, that's right
36:39I know, that's right
36:41I know, that's right
36:45I know, that's right
36:47¡Gracias!
