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.

05:22dice
05:22wow the respectable shrink is playing the field who are the candidates i thought dr carlton fitzgerald

05:37dreamy dr rollins the name fits believe me kyle is everything a woman could want in a man
05:44oh then what's that gorgeous charismatic great kisser
05:57is this why you haven't gotten back to me nessa
06:02too busy sucking face with joe to plan my press conference huh
06:09can't wait to hear how you got the charges dropped i thought the best we could do was a plea
06:13deal
06:13that's the best you could do i'm about to get a bill hamilton master class in negotiations
06:18aren't i listen and learn grasshopper so you know who wayne maddox is right sure football player one
06:25of the greats okay yeah well wayne and i have known each other for years i actually met danny at
06:31one
06:31of his parties but a year ago i did a favor for him his son was in a little bit
06:37of trouble and i made
06:38it 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 on 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 you
09:09think
09:09you can muzzle her but lynette's a dog with a bone and if a certain shark starts to smell blood
09:17in
09:17the water everything okay
09:25everything's just fine okay things just seemed 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
09:57we didn't know whether or not you were being harassed i didn't hear anything you were saying
10:02but with this attitude i'm starting to regret checking on you no i'm i'm sorry i i've just
10:08been on edge oh i'm sure after everything you've been through who's your drinking buddy
10:15his name is sammy he stepped in and got me to the hospital when i missed carrie he's a dealer
10:21slash security guy at lakeview casino and i just wanted to hire him for an off the books assignment
10:28well that sounds shady oh desperate times and oh that's kind of how desperate are you because
10:35lakeview was owned by joey armstrong and if this guy sammy works for him then what exactly were you
10:43hiring him for is he a hitman okay i'm officially impressed don't be i i've seen the program before
10:51my cap used it all the time great so you're familiar yeah but there are new features though so thanks
10:57for
10:57the refresher okay 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 deal you report directly to me text or call okay because i won't be at the clinic full
11:25time
11:25i won't forget and i know my request might make things awkward for you so i appreciate you agreeing
11:32to it i get it mama is out of pocket most of the time well whatever you're doing to keep
11:37her out of
11:37my orbit now is working she hasn't bothered me at all since we agreed to the terms well i wish
11:42i
11:42could take the credit but it's more likely that mom was just off bothering somebody else
11:48you know i think i should have a special batch made just for you seeing how you're always
11:53throwing shade on vanessa chivalry is not dead and that sexy smolder of yours
12:01oh wait you know you have a way of just sending a shiver straight down to a woman finish that
12:09sentence
12:09and you're done here joking i know joey is off limits besides i have a couple of fellas keeping me
12:24busy
12:25and if i added a third then that would just be greedy is every woman in the dmv dating two
12:32men
12:33how did you track me down i'm certain that we concluded our business together earlier but you
12:39weren't actually any help with the press conference what press conference the one where i'm making an
12:46announcement for the opening of the phoenix street free clinic and i'm still not happy about that name
12:52by the way a plaque on the outside of the building honoring dr doug mcbride but you know it seems
13:01misplaced we should hang it like outside of the casino given doggy's fondness of the place i think
13:10press 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
13:24on the books right of course oh thank goodness
13:31what else okay so i've been brainstorming about how to get the word out mama is gung-ho about doing
13:39a whole media blitz but i want to think big picture what do you mean like people i know don't
13:46really read newspapers or watch tv yeah we get our news online right but people in low-income
13:53neighborhoods don't always have affordable and reliable internet access when mama and i were broke
13:58ours was shoddy okay i had to go to the library for internet and community meetings for local info
14:05so i thought like why not design flyers that people will actually see and like post them
14:11around neighborhood centers and storefronts exactly it's genius eva we can post them in corner stores
14:18laundromats barbershops bus stops metro stations how about convincing some of the food trucks around town
14:24to post up outside the clinic i mean do you do you think we could afford to spring for a
14:29day where
14:29we pass out free meals and include our flyers that's a great idea derek
14:34it'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 she'd be so happy to
14:48help with fundraising thanks for bringing me on i mean it i thought my days serving the community were
14:56over when i had to quit firefighting for medical reasons it's not like you just walked away yeah but
15:01it's the fact that i feel like i can still do the work and having doctors tell me i can't
15:06but but this
15:08this free clinic we could save way more lives than i might have as a firefighter
15:15and i'm proud to be part of it
15:19yeah kat and i are doing great
15:22even though you still work for the man that she refuses to call uncle
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 that
15:52get 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 that
16:06i was attracted to cat as a person i wasn't thinking about what she could do for my career i
16:11love cat
16:12good answer i know cat would like to see me boiled in hot oil because of how my marriage ended
16:19with her
16:20aunt but i watched her grow up so i do have a soft spot for her and martin i will
16:26always be very
16:27protective of them so this was a test it's a test every time you walk through that door man and
16:34i will
16:35do this from time to time to make sure your answers stay consistent because if i ever thought that you
16:39were using my niece i'd be the one in hot oil or worse now i gave you advice before about
16:46how to move
16:46things along with cat did it work i took your advice and i am fully present for the journey but
16:56being with cat hasn't been easy we hit a wall when she wanted to move in i talked her out
17:03of it
17:04wait i thought you wanted to live with her i do but she wasn't being proactive about it if anything
17:10she was being reactive she was desperate to find a place to live but what you just put her out
17:16on
17:16the street come on you and i both know kata has plenty of options when it comes to living arrangements
17:21what she doesn't have is confidence that living together as a couple is is something that she truly
17:27wants did you ask her why yes i oppressed her for her reasons the whole notion only came up because
17:33she was fighting with your daughter is he a hit man i can't believe you think so little of me
17:42that
17:42you immediately jumped to murder when have i ever given you the impression that i'm capable of causing
17:48another human being harm well that is your mother's go-to solution i mean she is great with the golf
17:55club
17:56she does have a mean left hook and she did bring a gun to my wedding okay okay i get
18:02your point and
18:03i'm sorry but it's not a far-fetched theory if the guy is running with joey armstrong yeah even i've
18:09heard of armstrong's reputation and all the stuff he's involved in but i was trying to hire sammy as my
18:14bodyguard guy who mugged me is still out there and you're always looking over your shoulder expecting
18:22the worst to happen yeah i can hardly sleep and when i do it just all comes back i completely
18:32get
18:32that i still get nightmares of being in that cabin with allison you do
18:41why did things look so heated with sammy i was telling him about the attack and i don't know we
18:50live
18:50in those moments and everything that happened since just make me mad i imagine you have similar
18:59feelings right i do and i get wanting to feel safe i went charging down to the police station to
19:08make
19:08sure that allison would be locked up for a very long time i'm grateful your tormentor is locked away
19:15you don't have to live through the trauma that that haunts me i'm sure my dad would hire security if
19:23you asked him why not just go to him no bill's been so worried about me and you know he
19:31already feels so
19:32bad that that he wasn't there to make sure i was safe i just don't want to make things worse
19:38plus i
19:39already feel bad about what's going on with his health wait what do you mean hailey we still don't
19:47know why the blood work came back abnormal he told me his blood levels were improving
19:55madison can't say but i can't yes yes it's improving but still i i don't want to stress him out
20:06so much to
20:07where he has a stroke again i think he would notice that guy sammy tailing you everywhere i'm so sorry
20:15that i'm not thinking rationally i wish i could be like you and put this horrific attack behind me but
20:23maybe we're different maybe i'm not used to the support knowing that everything will just be all right
20:33okay okay i gotta go i need to i 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
21:05clinic 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 on the expectation that it would serve
21:21the
21:21neighborhood for decades to come we need the support of the community and donors to ensure that it
21:28doesn't crash and burn before the doors even open so forgive me but i think there should be someone i
21:35don't know likable front and center i am the daughter of music royalty i have been accepted by the elites
21:44in
21:44fairmont crest now if anybody can win over that stuffy membership committee i can win the gym pop
21:52not unless you had enough money to bribe everyone i think vanessa would be perfect in front of the
21:58campus i appreciate the gesture but i actually have someone else in mind oh god i hope it's not that
22:04child that's running her mouth about me stealing her id no it is not samantha i think our new general
22:10manager is the perfect choice we have a general manager yes while i have been putting all our
22:19little duckies in a row your girlfriend here has chosen this one to be front and center to make the
22:28announcement that's one picture derek was in the hospital nobody looks good in those gowns derek will
22:33be working at the clinic full-time he needs to be the person patients are familiar with when they walk
22:38through the door derek's are a man you know what ladies i leave it to you too to work this
22:44out
22:47i'm not backing down about this okay let's see if derek is even wanting to take on this position and
22:55do publicity well i want to be there when you speak to him oh you don't trust me not as

25:16happy to

25:25after the attack and now that the man responsible has managed to get off the grid i don't know i
25:31just
25:31i guess i'm just freaking out okay it's okay honey i was so desperate i don't know i tried to
25:39get a
25:40bodyguard hayley didn't want to bother you with this or add any stress with everything they're going
25:46through i 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 and yet i'm still here instead of
26:01escaping when i had the chance thank you so much derrick eva says you want to make some kind of
26:05announcement plug the clinic on tv and all that we want you to be the one to do it feel
26:11free to say no
26:12derrick this will be a real press conference for the opening of the clinic i want you to be the
26:17one in
26:17front of the cameras doing the talking i i have no experience giving speeches i'm not asking you to
26:23give the state of the union just to tell people when the clinic is opening that it's free and then
26:28flash that cute smile joey's smile is cuter he's got this sexy danger boy thing going on joey's mine back
26:44off thank 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
27:20good at or used to be anyway hiding unpleasant things from you but why would you do that because
27:27you are a powerful 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 so i
27:43don't want
27:43you protecting me from something this important you understand yes yes i will keep the line of
27:53communication open when it comes to my fears okay all right but how did you even know who to go
28:02to
28:02about being your bodyguard i went to sammy okay i'm ready uh chelsea i don't want you to end up
28:13like hayley
28:13having an emotional breakdown in a restaurant because you didn't talk to me about your feelings
28:18are there some lingering issues about allison
28:24making a double what's that all about leslie thomas enough said and where the hell were you
28:32i pay you to keep her out of my hair she managed to get all the way back here through
28:36a locked door
28:36and got into my private liquor stash again i mean what's the point of all this expensive facial
28:44recognition software if it doesn't keep out the riffraff i'll see who was on the door and who was
28:50monitoring the security hub i'll talk to him yes 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 you have all my respect and i would
29:07never
29:08steal your man quiet as it kept you're a little scary i'm gonna need you to teach me how you
29:16did that
29:17oh well derek had a brilliant idea for a couple of food trucks to set up right outside of the
29:22clinic
29:22and donate free meals along with informational flyers a real grassroots communication campaign
29:28what a great idea folks love free food and it's a way to include the people that this clinical serve
29:34i'm not sure you're just disagreeing because i like the idea i'm disagreeing because where are
29:41the funds coming from for that from any number of sources wealthy people love to help which wealthy
29:48people i mean you're looking in my deep pockets but what about your boyfriends you know what i meant
29:55do i'm a sign mighty i'm a self-made businesswoman who are you leslie thomas creative and builder of the
30:04first shells in fairmont quest that monstrosity where you plan to have garden gnomes every two
30:09feet and a moat tasteless elegant trashy you want trash look in the mirror mama i don't need to the
30:16biggest heap is sitting right in front of me say it again blondie and i will snatch that bleached weave
30:22out by the weft hair is as natural as it comes but i bet that the drapes don't match the
30:29carpet well your
30:31black hair matches your heart i bet your heart is so cold that joey loads you in the freezer every
30:37night
30:38your heart's so empty i can hear the wind whistling through it
