00:04Where the hell have you been?
00:06Hey, chill.
00:07I don't control the traffic, guys.
00:09I'm here now.
00:09Where's the fire?
00:10It's gonna be in my belly if we don't figure something out.
00:14Curiouser and curiouser.
00:16That is not the way friends greet each other.
00:18It is if he knows her really, really well.
00:20You gotta be super close to fight like that.
00:23It's hard to chill when Bill's pushing me to get pregnant.
00:26That's the big emergency.
00:27You wanted Bill's attention, you got Bill's attention.
00:31What's the problem?
00:32Well, you're not the one who'll have to birth a big-ass baby.
00:34It's another complication.
00:36And you know what?
00:38It could bring questions that I don't even want to answer.
00:41Like what?
00:42Like, why am I not pregnant?
00:44Since we went to the doctor who said there's no reason I didn't get pregnant.
00:48Lots of women who are perfectly fine don't get pregnant.
00:51You are spiraling.
00:53We put too much time into this con and have gotten over bigger obstacles
00:56than Bill Hamilton wanting to knock you up.
00:58I wonder what's got Haley so twisted.
01:00I'm not sure it's our business.
01:02I'd rather talk wedding.
01:04I don't like Haley, but I should probably check on that.
01:07My dad would never forgive me if I didn't step up
01:10and find out why his wife is laying into some random.
01:14Hey, good to see I'm not the only one burning the midnight oil.

05:45and what's that gorgeous charismatic great kisser
05:57is this why you haven't gotten back to me nessa too busy sucking face with joe to plan my press
06:06conference huh can't wait to hear how you got the charges dropped i thought the best we could do was
06:12a plea deal that's the best you could do i'm about to get a bill hamilton master class in negotiations
06:18i aren't dying listen and learn grasshopper so you know who wayne maddox is right sure football
06:24player one of the greats okay yeah well wayne and i have known each other for years i actually met
06:30danny
06:30at one of his parties but a year ago i did a favor for him his son was in a
06:36little bit of trouble
06:37and i made a go away okay sure but how does the next football player factor into lynette's case
06:43he was the conduit wayne plays golf with the president of the bank that was suing lynette
06:49so i started with my contact at the u.s attorney's office made a suggestion and they called wayne who
06:56hit up his golfing buddy and doubled down that suggestion now the bank president is even more
07:02compelled to go along with their i.e my recommendation wow impressive how you pulled
07:08those strings i've spent a long long time building relationships with people knowing that maybe they'll
07:15be able to help me one day that's why i push the importance of partners having a family when i
07:21first
07:21got started i would invite the power players to the club for dinner and things like that danny would make
07:27friends with the spouses and plan all the dinner outings together next thing i know i'm being asked
07:33to be one of their kids godfather that's how you make lasting relations in this town
07:41so what are you thinking we both wear gowns or are you interested in something less formal
07:48chelsea you're not even listening i'm sorry but haven't you ever heard of stranger danger
07:53you're reading too much into this if you go to a bar someone's bound to chat you up
07:58or maybe you're wrong about hayley having no friends something's not right a client this late
08:06in a place like this without my dad and look how close together they're sitting i'd give a chelsea
08:11cat purse to hear what they're saying i just hate how complicated this has gotten you remember boca
08:17we were in and out in three months it's been a year since i've been married to bill and it's
08:24been
08:24one hit after another the latest bill in net you can handle her can i she made me talk bill
08:32into
08:33representing her pro bono and then i had to get him to paper her room at the moment and now
08:38she's dead
08:38set on getting the embezzlement charges dropped and if that doesn't happen and she's left pissed she could
08:44go rogue and just spill every secret we've got just because she didn't get her way i am ready
08:51to do a cash grab and get the hell out of dodge brandy and i'll give you 10 million reasons
08:56to stick
08:57to the plan this job is the big one this is the one that can get us both out of
09:02the game for good
09:03now i promise you i will keep lynette in check until we get our share of the hamilton fortune
09:08you think you can muzzle her but lynette's a dog with a bone and if a certain shark woman starts
09:17to smell blood in the water everything okay
09:25everything's just fine can't things just seem a little tense over here well i won't take up too much
09:32of your time so who's the stranger i'm surprised you don't already know weren't you back there
09:47listening for a while uh chelsea wasn't eavesdropping we couldn't help but to notice the body language
09:52between you and the mystery man and after a recent ordeal chelsea was understandably concerned we didn't
09:58know whether or not you were being harassed i didn't hear anything you were saying but with
10:03this attitude i'm starting to regret checking on you no i'm i'm sorry i i've just been on edge
10:09oh i'm sure after everything you've been through who's your drinking buddy his name is sammy he stepped
10:18in and got me to the hospital when i missed carrie he's a dealer slash security guy at lakeview casino
10:23and
10:24i just wanted to hire him for an off the books assignment well that sounds shady well desperate
10:31times and all that's going on how desperate are you because lakeview was owned by joey armstrong and
10:38if this guy sammy works for him then what exactly were you hiring him for is he a hitman okay
10:47i'm
10:48officially impressed don't be i i've seen the program before my cap used it all the time great so you're
10:54familiar yeah but there are new features though so thanks for the refresher
11:01okay i see you scheduled derek as working day shifts and leslie working night shifts
11:07funny how that played out mama won't be working shifts at all okay but she will be taking credit
11:14for all of your hard work well i am counting on leslie not being around day to day look don't
11:19forget our
11:19due you report directly to me text or call okay because i won't be at the clinic full time i
11:25won't
11:25forget and i know my request might make things awkward for you so i appreciate you agreeing to it
11:32i get it mama is out of pocket most of the time well whatever you're doing to keep her out
11:37of my orbit
11:37now is working she hasn't bothered me at all since we agreed to the terms well i wish i could
11:42take the
11:42credit but it's more likely that mom was just off bothering somebody else you know i think i should
11:49have a special batch made just for you seeing how you're always throwing shade on vanessa
11:56chivalry is not dead and that sexy smolder of yours oh wait you know you have a way of just
12:05sending a
12:06shiver straight down to a woman finish that sentence and you're done here joking on a bunch
12:14of panties nestle if you're wearing any i know joey is off limits besides i have a couple of fellas
12:23keeping me busy and if i added a third then that would just be greedy is every woman in the
12:31dmv dating
12:32two men how did you track me down i'm certain that we concluded our business together earlier
12:39but you weren't actually any help with the press conference what press conference the one where
12:45i'm making an announcement for the opening of the phoenix street free clinic and i'm still not happy
12:52about that name by the way a plaque on the outside of the building honoring dr doug mcbride
13:00you know it seems misplaced we should hang it like outside of the casino given dougie's fondness of
13:09the place i think press conference for the free clinic is a huge mistake
13:19mama couldn't get a fire permit i'll get with the fire marshal make sure we're clear on the books right
13:27of course oh thank goodness what else okay so i've been brainstorming about how to get the word
13:35out mama is gung-ho about doing a whole media blitz but i want to think big picture what do
13:44you mean
13:44like people i know don't really read newspapers or watch tv yeah we get our news online right but people
13:52in low-income neighborhoods don't always have affordable and reliable internet access when
13:57mama and i were broke ours was shoddy okay i had to go to the library for internet and community
14:04meetings for local info so i thought like why not design flyers that people will actually see and
14:11like post them around neighborhood centers and storefronts exactly it's genius eva we can post
14:17them in corner stores laundromats barbershops bus stops metro stations how about convincing some
14:23of the food trucks around town to post up outside the clinic i mean do you do you think we
14:28could
14:28afford to spring for a day where we pass out free meals and include our flyers that's a great idea
14:33derek it'll address multiple needs at once like health care communication and food insecurity
14:41we'll find the money okay this whole clinic idea started with my niece samantha
14:46she'd be so happy to help with fundraising thanks for bringing me on i mean it i thought my days
14:55serving the community were over when i had to quit firefighting for medical reasons it's not like
15:00you just walked away yeah but it's the fact that i feel like i can still do the work and
15:03having doctors
15:05tell me i can't but this this free clinic we could save way more lives than i might have as
15:13a firefighter
15:15and i'm proud to be part of it
15:19yeah kat and i are doing great even though you still work for the man that she refuses to call
15:25uncle
15:26she's fully supportive even though my caseload has been heavy she's been understanding
15:31i think she might be thrilled now that i have a little more free time since you've got the charges
15:35against lynette dropped but you know that not every man can handle someone like kat
15:41you know i mean she is the perfect companion for an up-and-comer trying to make contacts though
15:45and through chelsea cat i mean hey yeah she and chelsea are crushing it and making inroads
15:52that get them access to celebrity influence i know from experience how lucrative getting celebs out of
15:58trouble can be so it seems that you struck gold when you met cat at my wedding i can assure
16:05you
16:06that i was attracted to cat as a person i wasn't thinking about what she could do for my career
16:10i love
16:11cat good answer i know cat would like to see me boiled in hot oil because of how my marriage
16:19ended with
16:20her aunt but i watched her grow up so i do have a soft spot for her and martin
16:25i will always be very protective of them so this was a test it's a test every time you walk
16:33through
16:33that door man and i will do this from time to time to make sure your answers stay consistent because
16:38if
16:38i ever thought that you were using my niece i'd be the one in hot oil or worse now i
16:45gave you advice
16:45before about how to move things along with cat did it work i took your advice and i am fully
16:51present for
16:52the journey but being with cat hasn't been easy we hit a wall when she wanted to move in
17:02i talked her out of it wait i thought you wanted to live with her i do but she wasn't
17:08being proactive
17:09about it if anything she was being reactive she was desperate to find a place to live
17:15but what you just put her out on the street come on you and i both know cat has plenty
17:19of options when
17:20it comes to living arrangements what she doesn't have is confidence that living together as a
17:24couple is is something that she truly wants but did you ask her why yes i oppressed her for her
17:31reasons the whole notion only came up because she was fighting with your daughter is he a hitman
17:39i can't believe you think so little of me that you immediately jumped to murder when have i ever
17:45given you the impression that i'm capable of causing another human being harm well that is your mother's
17:52go-to solution i mean she is great with the golf club she does have a mean left hook and
17:58she did bring
17:59a gun to my wedding okay okay i get your point and i'm sorry but it's not a far-fetched
18:05theory if the
18:06guy is running with joey armstrong yeah even i've heard of armstrong's reputation and all the stuff he's
18:11involved in but i was trying to hire sammy as my bodyguard the guy who mugged me is still out
18:19there
18:20and you're always looking over your shoulder expecting the worst to happen yeah i can hardly
18:25sleep and when i do it just all comes back i completely get that i still get nightmares of
18:36being in that cabin with allison you do why did things look so heated with sammy i was telling him
18:47about the attack and i don't know we live in those moments and everything that happened since just make
18:55me mad i imagine you have similar feelings right i do and i get wanting to feel safe
19:05i went charging down to the police station to make sure that allison would be locked up for a very
19:10long time i'm grateful your tormentor is locked away you don't have to live through the trauma that
19:19that haunts me i'm sure my dad would hire security if you asked him why not just go to him
19:25no bill's been
19:26so worried about me and you know he already feels so bad that that he wasn't there to make sure
19:35i was
19:35safe i just don't want to make things worse plus i already feel bad about what's going on with this
19:42health wait what do you mean hayley we still don't know why the blood work came back abnormal he told
19:49me
19:50his blood levels were improving
19:54medicine can't say but i can't yes yes it's improving but still i i don't want to stress
20:06him out so much to where he has a stroke again i think he would notice that guy sammy tailing
20:13you
20:14everywhere i'm so sorry that i'm not thinking rationally i wish i could be like you and put this
20:21horrific attack behind me but maybe we're different maybe i'm not used to the support
20:30knowing that everything will just be all right okay i gotta go i need to
20:38i can take you to him he's working late at the office
20:45oh wait wait i i have to make my tab no i i'll take care of it
20:52i'll take you to my dad's office in her car okay be right behind you
20:58i am sick and tired of people telling me that it is a mistake to make an announcement about the
21:05free clinic i don't have a problem with the message it's the messenger you can be a bit polarizing
21:13says the crime boss i gave a boatload of money to that clinic
21:19on the expectation that it would serve the neighborhood for decades to come we need the
21:24support of the community and donors to ensure that it doesn't crash and burn before the doors even open
21:31so forgive me but i think there should be someone i don't know likable front and center i am the
21:39daughter
21:39of music royalty i have been accepted by the elites in fairmont crest now if anybody can win over that
21:48stuffy membership committee i can win the gym pop not unless you had enough money to bribe everyone
21:54i think vanessa would be perfect in front of the cameras i appreciate the gesture but i actually
22:01have someone else in mind oh god i hope it's not that child that's running her mouth about me stealing
22:06her id no it is not samantha i think our new general manager is the perfect choice we have a
22:13general manager
22:16yes while i have been putting all our little duckies in a row your girlfriend here has chosen
22:25this one to be front and center to make the announcement that's one picture derek was in the

25:35i was so desperate that i don't know i tried to get a bodyguard
25:41hayley didn't want to bother you with this or add any stress with everything they're going through
25:48i can't believe you were worried about me when you were falling apart
25:55where's thor you told him we wanted to talk to him didn't you
25:58and yet i'm still here instead of escaping when i had the chance
26:02thank you so much derek eva says you want to make some kind of announcement plug the clinic
26:07on tv and all that we want you to be the one to do it feel free to say no
26:12derek this will be a real
26:13press conference for the opening of the clinic i want you to be the one in front of the cameras
26:17doing the talking i i have no experience giving speeches i'm not asking you to give the state of the
26:23union just to tell people when the clinic is opening that it's free and then flash that cute smile
26:29joey's smile is cuter he's got this sexy danger boy thing going on joey's mine back off
26:44thank you for looking out for hayley yeah if you need anything don't hesitate to call
26:51i hope you find some peace hayley it's an ongoing process take it from me
27:09i am kicking myself for not seeing how distressed you were
27:14the last thing i want is for you to blame yourself okay i'm good at or used to be anyway
27:24hiding unpleasant things from you but why would you do that because you are a
27:28powerful and important man you shouldn't have to worry constantly about your fragile wife
27:36you're not fragile i see how strong you are and hayley we're supposed to be a team right
27:42so i don't want you protecting me from something this important you understand yes yes i will
27:52keep the line of communication open when it comes to my fears all right but how did you even know
28:02who
28:02to go to about being your bodyguard i went to sammy okay i'm ready uh chelsea i don't want you
28:12to end
28:13up like hayley having an emotional breakdown in a restaurant because you didn't talk to me about your
28:17feelings are there some lingering issues about allison making a double what's that all about
28:27leslie thomas enough said and where the hell were you i pay you to keep her out of my hair
28:34she managed
28:34to get all the way back here through a locked door and got into my private liquor stash again
28:41i mean what's the point of all this expensive facial recognition software if it doesn't keep
28:46out the riffraff i'll see who was on the door and who was monitoring the security hub i'll talk to
28:52him
28:52yes you will but you haven't answered my question where were you
29:01i'm sorry vanessa all right i went way too far all right john have all my respect and i would
29:07never steal your man quiet as it kept you're a little scary i'm gonna need you to teach me how
29:16you did that oh well derek had a brilliant idea for a couple of food trucks to set up right
29:21outside
29:22of the clinic and donate free meals along with informational flyers a real grassroots communication
29:28campaign what a great idea folks love free food and it's a way to include the people that this
29:33clinical serve i'm not sure you're just disagreeing because i like the idea i'm disagreeing because
29:41where are the funds coming from for that from any number of sources wealthy people love to help which
29:48wealthy people i mean you're looking in my deep pockets but what about your boyfriends you know what
29:54i meant do i miss iron mighty i'm a self-made business woman who are you leslie thomas creative
30:02and builder of the first shouse in fairmont crest that monstrosity where you plan to have garden
30:08gnomes every two feet and a moat tasteless elegant trashy you want trash look in the mirror mama i don't
30:16need to the biggest heap is sitting right in front of me say it again blondie and i will snatch
30:21that bleached
30:22weave out by the weft hair is as natural as it comes but i bet that the drapes don't match
30:29the
30:29carpet well your black hair matches your heart i bet your heart is so cold that joey loads you in
30:36the freezer every night your heart's so empty i can hear the wind whistling through it

32:04by now nightmares are sometimes the brain's way of working through something difficult you've been
32:09through but if they're still happening there are really effective ways to manage this chelsea you
32:13have to just live with it i've always been able to push past things you should talk to a therapist
