00:04¡Gracias por ver!
00:30...on TV, opening up about her health, and looking flawless while doing it.
00:33Cancer, if there's anything you need.
00:36Your faux sincerity is making me sicker than chemo.
00:43Happy first anniversary, sweetheart.
00:46Happy anniversary?
00:50Money?
00:51Mm-hmm.
00:52The customary first wedding anniversary gift is paper.
00:55And you have the best taste in paper.
01:00Well, traditionally, paper represents a blank slate.
01:04In the first year of marriage, a couple is just beginning to write their own story,
01:07and I think that our story is off to a pretty wonderful start.
01:10It certainly is.
01:12Yeah, you know, I figured where better to start our anniversary festivities
01:16than the place it all began, the very place we were married.
01:19Yeah, our wedding was certainly unforgettable.
01:23Mm-hmm.
01:32Why are you looking at me like that, boss?
01:36You've been spending less time here than usual.
01:38Well, all my casino duties are handled.
01:41Do we have some kind of problem?
01:44No.
01:45It's just my curiosity.
01:47I can't help but wonder what or who is keeping you so occupied.
01:53It's, uh, personal stuff.
01:59You know, I read that the man who attacked Mrs. Hamilton was arrested.
02:03Frankly, I was disappointed and surprised that the police were able to do what you couldn't.
02:10Find who was responsible.
02:12What can I say, boss?
02:13Sometimes the cops actually do their jobs.
02:15Yes, but finding him wasn't your only job, was it?
02:20Now that he's been released pending trial, why haven't you tracked him down and brought him to me?
02:27Thank you.
02:58You don't say much, but I hear it all.
03:03A shadow of the void.
03:07Leading on the wall.
03:12Naomi!
03:13Hi!
03:14Hi, Kat!
03:16Oh, it's good to see you.
03:18Mind if I join you?
03:20Not at all.
03:21I was just taking a break before my next appointment.
03:24Oh, you already ate.
03:25I did.
03:26But we can still visit while you have lunch.
03:29Great.
03:31I worked up an appetite apartment hunting with Vanessa.
03:35Oh.
03:35She showed me a half a dozen places, but none of them felt right.
03:39So you and Tomas are finally moving in together?
03:42Nope.
03:43I am, um, just looking for places for myself.
03:47But I thought you liked living with Chelsea.
03:49I loved it.
03:50But I just think working and living together may not be the best thing for our relationship.
03:56What happened?
03:57And we got into a huge fight.
04:02And it really hurts when you and your best friend aren't getting along.
04:05Yeah, I know the feeling.
04:10If you continue to keep your genetic results under wraps from your family, who are bound to talk to you
04:15about Anita's cancer, by the way, you're going to reach a tipping point.
04:19You're going to blow up.
04:20Like you did today.
04:21Hey, you ready?
04:23Uh, yeah.
04:23I've been looking forward to my oncology rotation.
04:27I just hope you feel that way after you start.
04:29In my experience, it's one of the most emotionally difficult specialties.
04:35Ashley?
04:36Janice.
04:37Haven't seen you all day.
04:39It's true.
04:40Absence really makes the heart grow fonder.
04:44Well, guess you missed me too, huh?
04:49Hey!
04:53Listen to this one.
04:56Anita's not just a vocal powerhouse.
04:59She's a brave warrior.
05:01She's my she-ro.
05:03Are you still reading those social media reviews about my interview?
05:07Every wonderful word.
05:09Well, if I were brave or a she-ro, I wouldn't be quaking in my boots right now about this
05:15next round of chemo.
05:17Because the tumor isn't shrinking as much as they'd hoped.
05:23This time, the regimen is going to be stronger.
05:27And this round is likely to have even worse side effects.
05:31I might lose what's left of my hair.
05:34I have mouth sores, anemia.
05:37I could develop heart issues.
05:40And if the chemo doesn't work...
05:43Don't even say those words.
05:45Well, it's a possibility, Vernon.
05:48And we have to acknowledge it.
05:50I might not win my battle with cancer.
05:55I've managed to put on a strong facade for the public.
05:57But the truth is, I...
06:00I don't know if I'm going to be able to handle this.
06:07It's only natural to be nervous when side effects are so unpredictable.
06:14But even if you experience the worst-case scenario...
06:18The worst-case being...
06:20The worst that we'll accept.
06:22The chemo won't kill your fighting spirit.
06:25The hair loss, the other side effects...
06:28They're just collateral damage from you beating cancer.
06:32Once you beat its butt, they'll disappear.
06:38Why do you have to be so damn optimistic all the time?
06:42It makes it impossible for me to wallow.
06:46I'm just giving voice to what your courageous and resilient spirit already knows.
06:53And what is my spirit saying now?
06:57That I'll be at your side throughout the battle.
07:02Because nobody and no thing is going to mess with my wife.
07:08Not on my watch.
07:14Auntie Monica, what are you doing here?
07:17I'm a town for a medical conference.
07:19Hello.
07:19Auntie Monica?
07:21Yes.
07:22Dr. Monica McCormick is my mother's sister and our family's shining star.
07:27Oh.
07:28Now, why did you tell me you were coming?
07:29I would have picked you up from the airport.
07:30Because I didn't want to miss seeing the look of surprise on that beautiful face.
07:35Where'd you fly in from, Dr. McCormick?
07:37Monica, please.
07:38I'm based in Houston.
07:40My aunt is an oncology department head at MD Anderson.
07:44Well, it's an honor to meet you.
07:46How long are you in town for, Auntie?
07:48I have to leave tomorrow, baby.
07:50Oh, we won't be able to spend time together.
07:51Well, at least I got to meet the famous Ted.
07:55Based on her description and you hanging on her every word, it was easy to figure out.
08:01You told your auntie about me.
08:03Yes, she did.
08:04And you're going to have a tough time living up to the height.
08:09Word is, Wesley already skipped town, which is exactly what I figured he'd do in the first place.
08:14Well, Bill Hamilton has been blowing up my phone.
08:18He's livid that the monster that attacked his wife is back on the street.
08:23The way I see it, that could be good for us.
08:27How so?
08:28Hamilton is already sniffing around for another favor.
08:32Now, if we can find Wesley...
08:33How are you going to do that when you couldn't do it before?
08:36Because we know who he is now, so it'll be easier.
08:39So we find Wesley, bring him back to stand trial, and then Bill Hamilton will owe you big time.
08:45Don't yank my chain, Randy.
08:47We both know the last thing you want is for this guy to come back to the DMV.
08:52I don't know why you'd say that.
08:55Well, I've got a feeling that if Wesley were to get on the stand, that wouldn't be such a good
09:00thing for your...
09:02Or should I say Sammy's...
09:04Friend, Haley.
09:08Happy anniversary, Mr. and current Mrs. Hamilton.
09:13Who'd have thought you'd make it a year?
09:15I thought for sure you'd come to your senses by now, Bill.
09:18Well, actually, this was the year that Bill learned what true happiness is.
09:24Well, this first year of true happiness has given him a stroke.
09:28I can't wait to see what year two is going to bring.
09:34Oh, hey, baby.
09:35Hey.
09:36Andre, I am so glad you're here.
09:40I suggest you take your wife someplace she's actually wanted.
09:43My husband and I were looking forward to a private anniversary celebration.
09:49Bill, maybe you should explain to your wife the difference between private and a very public place.
09:55Okay, I think our table is ready.
09:57For just a moment, darling.
09:58I would be remiss if I didn't do something to commemorate this very notable occasion.
10:20First anniversary's paper, right?
10:22This tissue is a symbol of how disposable your relationship is.
10:28Goodness, you didn't think I was going to pull out a gun, did you?
10:31I never repeat myself, not in fashion or felonies.
10:34And over the past year, I realized you two just aren't worth catching a case over.
10:40Bon appétit, huh?
10:41Excuse us.
10:43Danny, you enjoyed that a little bit too much.
10:45It wasn't just for me.
10:46I know how much you love watching Bill squirm.
10:51I'm sorry Danny interrupted our celebration.
10:56You know, I can't even be mad since you gave me this incredible gift.
11:03This paper is perfect.
11:08Well, as to the rules of a gift, you have to spend every one of those dollars today.
11:13And I know how.
11:15Wait, are you taking me on an anniversary shopping spree?
11:18No, no, no.
11:19I'm not about to spoil the surprise.
11:21Oh, okay.
11:27Yeah, that's perfect.
11:28We'll be at our table.
11:29Thank you so much.
11:31Oh.
11:36Shame.
11:37So what did you and Chelsea argue about?
11:39Well, she was upset because I told her I was moving out.
11:43Wait, I'm confused.
11:45You're moving out because Chelsea doesn't want you to move out?
11:49I'm just accepting the inevitable.
11:52Now that Chelsea's engaged, it's only a matter of time before Madison moves in.
11:56That might happen, but it might not.
12:00Why the rush?
12:01I figured I could move in with Tomas, but he didn't think it was a good idea.
12:07Oh, so Tomas isn't ready to be as serious about your relationship as you are?
12:12That's not it.
12:14He wanted me to move in before, but I wasn't ready.
12:18And now you are?
12:21Yeah, I am.
12:22But he thinks it's just because I need a place to stay.
12:27And is he right?
12:30Okay.
12:31Fine.
12:32Yeah.
12:33But it's not unreasonable for me to think that if Chelsea and Madison are engaged, then Tomas and I...
12:40I mean, we have been together a lot longer than they have.
12:44Ah, I see.
12:46Okay, so you feel like you need to be more committed to Tomas to keep up with Chelsea?
12:54Cosmo, please.
12:55I know it's early, but it's been a really stressful day.
12:57Come right up, Miss Hamilton.
12:59Will you be joining your parents?
13:05Even though I didn't realize that Bill and Haley's wedding would be the beginning of a new life for me,
13:12too,
13:13I had no idea that that night before the farce of a ceremony, that first night we got together,
13:22that would be the beginning of my rebirth.
13:26Wow.
13:27So I guess that sort of makes today our anniversary, too.
13:32I like the way you think.
13:34I cannot believe this.
13:36It makes no sense.
13:37I know, Chelsea Bear.
13:39It's hard to believe that Haley and your father made it to their first anniversary.
13:43Is that today?
13:44I was talking about Kat.
13:47Well, the way Shanice sings your praises, there was talk so much, the family, that you sounded a little too
13:52good to be true.
13:54Folks were thinking that you didn't actually exist.
13:57Oh, so y'all thought I was lying about having a man in my life?
14:00What, to keep Mom off my back?
14:01I didn't think you would stoop to that, but you know your brothers and sisters, what they were thinking.
14:06But I will be happy to go back and report to everyone that you are real, Ted.
14:13Unless you have plans to take him home and let everyone see for themselves.
14:18I don't want to subject him to that.
14:21No, what, are they going to beat me up?
14:24Well...
14:24Yes.
14:26Metaphorically speaking.
14:28They'll pick you apart from your wardrobe to the way you barbecued.
14:34But one good word from me about you, that will go a long way to winning them over.
14:41Ted, while Shanice is working, why don't you and I take this opportunity to get to know each other better?
14:53I would love to get to know you, Monica, but I have a few things I need to take care
14:57of first.
14:58I can wait.
14:59Oh, Auntie, there's a great coffee place nearby.
15:02Caffeine Fix.
15:03Maybe you and I could...
15:04I enjoy my coffee, but you're working.
15:06Ted and I will be fine alone.
15:09Fair warning, Ted.
15:11I can tell a lot about a man by his taste in espresso.
15:14Oh, well, I'll be sure to choose wisely.
15:16Okay, I'll wrap some things up and be back soon.
15:23Please be gentle with him.
15:26I'll be a kitten.
15:28More like a tigress.
15:34Oh, Senator, and Anita Williams-Dupree.
15:39Mrs. Dupree, I saw your interview.
15:42I was very impressed.
15:44Thank you.
15:46My name is Dr. Monica McCormick.
15:49I am an oncologist, and I'm always looking for ways to educate black women on how cancer
15:55affects our community.
15:56Through your interview, you were able to reach more people than I will in a lifetime.
16:01Well, thank you.
16:02That is my hope.
16:03I don't recall ever seeing you around here before, Doctor.
16:07Are you on staff here at Garland?
16:09No.
16:10No, I'm just visiting my niece, so I decided to stop by and say hello.
16:13Oh, and I met your granddaughter, Naomi, earlier today.
16:17She's just such a lovely woman.
16:20Yes, she is indeed.
16:22I am blessed to have a beautiful family.
16:24Yes.
16:25If I can ever help you with your messaging or your treatment, please reach out.
16:32I will do just that.
16:34I can't help but wonder why it has been so much harder for Tomas and me than it has been
16:40for Chelsea and Madison.
16:44Maybe this is a sign that Tomas isn't the one for you.
16:48No, he is.
16:49We've discussed it and agreed that we have a future together.
16:54Great.
16:55That sounds very reasoned and rational.
16:58But not romantic.
17:00That's what you think.
17:02The important thing is what you think, Kat.
17:05This is what works for us.
17:08He suggested I find a place near him so that we can see each other all the time while still
17:14having our own space.
17:15But will you even like living alone?
17:17Like, think about that.
17:19Because when you live alone after living with someone, you start to miss things.
17:23Like watching TV together and talking about your day over dinner.
17:28Not to mention how much harder it is to fall asleep alone.
17:32From the way you're talking, it sounds like you're the one who's suddenly living alone.
17:39So then Kat was like, I'm moving out and talking about not wanting to be an audience to our
17:43rom-com.
17:44But you and Madison haven't even set a wedding date yet.
17:46I know, right?
17:47And she's acting like my engagement with Madison is some kind of threat to her, which is nuts
17:52because I never viewed her relationship with Tomas that way at all.
17:56Well, she's having a tough time.
17:58She sees Eva as a threat to her relationship with her father, and now she feels like she's
18:01losing you to Madison.
18:03But someone should tell her that love doesn't run out.
18:05It multiplies.
18:06That's not how it feels to Kat.
18:09Well, don't stop there.
18:10Continue.
18:12Well, she was her father's only daughter.
18:14And now there's Eva.
18:16She met Tomas before you met Madison, and you got love at first sight.
18:19While she and Tomas...
18:21You're having a slower role.
18:22Yeah, I can see how that might make Kat feel some kind of way.
18:27But Kat swears that she's not jealous of what Madison and I have.
18:30Please.
18:31I told myself that same lie about Bill and Haley.
18:36Babe, you're taking those mystery box online shopping deals to a whole other level.
18:41I need to be able to see what I'm buying.
18:44Uh-huh.
18:45Anything for my bride.
18:48Why are we here?
18:51Well, I meant it when I told you on Valentine's Day that I hit the jackpot when I met you.
18:56You know, thanks to you, I managed to survive everything this year's thrown at us.
19:01You know, it started off with Danny's bullets flying at our wedding, and it's been a wild
19:04ride ever since.
19:05So, I brought my lucky charm here to the tables.
19:08And maybe you can increase your anniversary gift and use your winnings to buy out every
19:13boutique at the DMV.
19:14Oh, sounds like fun.
19:18Well, this is a surprise.
19:20Mrs. Hamilton, I don't think I've ever seen you in my establishment.
19:26Bill and I are here to celebrate our first anniversary.
19:30Well, that's paper, right?
19:32Well, cards are made of paper.
19:35Let's hope that Lady Luck will bring you her own anniversary gift.
19:39We hope so.
19:40Well, it's very brave of you to be out and about, knowing that the man who attacked you
19:44was released pending trial.
19:47It must be very nerve-wracking to realize that he could be anywhere.
19:59Here you are.
20:01One Americano with skimmed milk.
20:04One sugar for myself.
20:07A little basic, but a solid, dependable order.
20:11Oh.
20:11I wonder what I'm to gather from your unsweetened latte.
20:16It is the drink of a teacher's pet with big dreams to move your way to pursue her ambitions.
20:21While my sister, Shanice's mother, was more the famine type.
20:25Ah.
20:26I bet Shanice gets her medical interest from you, you know?
20:30It's obvious how much she admires you.
20:31Oh, well, the feeling is entirely mutual.
20:34Mm-hmm.
20:34So let's get started.
20:37Okay.
20:38You are a plastic surgeon.
20:40Why would you choose what others consider to be a frivolous specialty?
20:45Is it the money?
20:47Wow.
20:48It's a little blunt.
20:50And that's not an answer.
20:52Well, I find that people who dismiss plastic surgery as frivolous to be misguided.
20:58I do reconstructive work as well as cosmetic procedures, which includes cancer patients.
21:03Plus, plastic surgery is the most creative specialty.
21:08Okay.
21:09Explain.
21:10Well, my job is more than just about appearance.
21:13I get to help people feel better about themselves.
21:16The most rewarding aspect is, you know, watching their self-esteem grow.
21:21Mm.
21:22I hope you're as invested in making my niece happy.
21:26Mm.
21:27I care about Shanice very much.
21:29As much as you cared about your ex-wife?
21:31Because apparently the ink has not dry yet on your divorce papers.
21:35Mm.
21:36The marriage is over.
21:38As over as it can be.
21:40Considering that your ex-wife is working at the hospital with you and Shanice.
21:44Now, this all sounds like an uncomfortable situation to me.
21:49One that is bound to hurt my niece.
22:14Hello, Mrs. Dupree.
22:16Ashley.
22:17Hello.
22:18Hi.
22:19Hi.
22:19So I'm supposed to be overseeing the administration of your chemo today.
22:22But I can totally get someone else to take over for me if you don't feel comfortable having one of
22:26Naomi's friends treat you.
22:27Oh, no, no, no, no.
22:29Actually, I prefer having someone I know shepherd me through what I understand will be a very difficult round of
22:36chemo.
22:36Well, I'm honored to help you any way that I can.
22:41Is Senator Dupree here with you or anyone else?
22:44Yes.
22:45Yes, Vernon's getting me a cup of tea.
22:47I wanted to give him a break from all of this.
22:51Naomi and I watched your interview together.
22:54I'm sure your story is going to help so many other women.
22:58I hope so.
23:01Are you familiar with the cold cat?
23:02A bit.
23:04Well, I'm going to get you prepped in just a moment.
23:06But hopefully this is going to help you reduce any additional hair loss.
23:10And this headband is going to protect your skin from frostbite.
23:15They told me this stronger treatment could be even more toxic and have even worse side effects.
23:25Unfortunately, that can be true.
23:27Look, if you need anything today, water, extra blankets, anything, all you have to do is ask.
23:35Thank you, Ashley.
23:37Naomi, one thing that really gives me comfort is the knowledge that this horrible gene mutation has spared my granddaughters.
23:48I thank God every day that Chelsea and Naomi do not have to go through this.
23:55I'm just temporarily living alone while Jacob's away getting some specialized training.
24:01Okay, and when will he be back?
24:03Soon.
24:04That's fake.
24:07It's hard to give specifics because, you know, once the coursework is over, then he'll have to take a test
24:11to get certified.
24:12And hopefully he'll get it on the first try.
24:15But there's just no way of knowing.
24:18Well, I hope it goes well.
24:21In the meantime, you're clearly lonely and I need a place to stay.
24:23So how about I stay with you and keep you company?
24:29So if you're right about capping jealous of my engagement to Madison, it's not like I can force Tomas to
24:34propose to even the score.
24:35No one is suggesting that.
24:37And besides, it's not about you and Kat racing each other to the altar.
24:41This is a triangle between you, Kat, and Madison.
24:44What do you mean?
24:45You live with Kat.
24:47And you have a business together.
24:48So you have a very committed relationship.
24:51That, plus you being best friends, makes your connection just as powerful as a romantic one, if not more.
24:57And for Kat, you moving to Copenhagen and then suddenly getting engaged probably feels a little bit like, well, like
25:06I felt when your father left me for Haley.
25:11It's terrifying knowing that the man who mugged me was released from jail.
25:16I barely leave the house these days without my husband at my side.
25:20Well, don't you worry.
25:22I have my best people out looking for him.
25:24And here's to hoping he's brought to justice.
25:27And soon.
25:30Now, enough with all the unpleasantness.
25:33I brought my wife here to have a good time.
25:36Where's the dealer?
25:37I'll let him know that there's a couple of VIPs in the house.
25:45Come to the card room now.
25:48See that?
25:49That's the kind of service I expect.
25:55You're dealing this shift.
25:57Okay, sure.
26:04I'm sure these two would love to have Haley's good Samaritan Sammy help celebrate their anniversary.
26:19When my marriage fell apart, I was a wreck and Shanice helped me get my mind right.
26:25And that's when I realized what I felt for her was more than a friendship.
26:32Shanice is the best thing that's happened to me in a long time.
26:36Hmm.
26:37Nice words.
26:39I even believe you may mean them.
26:41But no one can guarantee that a relationship is going to work out.
26:46And in my experience, doctors have a lot more clout in hospitals than nurses do.
26:52If things don't work out for the two of you, I do not want there to be any negative professional
26:57repercussions for Shanice.
27:01Everyone at Garling, from the chief of staff on down, recognizes Shanice is invaluable.
27:07Without her managerial skills, the place would fall apart.
27:11And if it ever got too difficult for us to work together, I would be the one they would ask
27:15to leave.
27:16And I would do it without question.
27:19Especially since I have all this money from my plastic surgery practice, which you yourself pointed out, to fall back
27:27on.
27:29Well, you just don't sit and take it, do you?
27:33Well, you just might have what it takes to winch Shanice's brother's over.
27:38Just watch out for those sisters.
27:45You look stressed.
27:46Oh, so do you.
27:49Yeah, well, my aunt is off interrogating Ted.
27:53And that lady is tougher than any cop.
27:56I assume your nerves are from your oncology shift?
28:00It was hard having Anita Dupree as a patient.
28:04I've always been in such awe of her.
28:07But today, she wasn't some larger-than-life figure.
28:10She was just a patient.
28:14Nervous for her treatment.
28:16And it was up to me to reassure her.
28:18And did you succeed?
28:21I think so.
28:23She said she liked having someone she knew take care of her.
28:27And it is taking everything in me not to call Naomi and tell her she's got to give her grandma
28:31a little extra TLC, but I know I can't.
28:34That's right.
28:35Because it would be a violation of HIPAA?
28:37You know, sometimes I think the most difficult part of our jobs is keeping everyone's secrets.
28:44Yep.
28:54That's a very becoming hat.
28:58It's supposed to reduce the hair loss.
29:01But it feels like I stuck my head in a freezer.
29:04Which is ironic, considering one of the side effects of this particular chemo is a sunburned-like rash.
29:12Well, no dry skin on my watch.
29:24Just seeing your handsome face makes me feel better.
29:29I've been reading up on the mind-body connection.
29:33I know it can't all be scientifically proven, but I like to think there's something to it.
29:43So, imagine a little red devil.
29:47So small, you can easily crush him under your high heels.
29:52Well, better a little devil than a big one.
29:56Now, visualize this little devil devouring all those nasty cancer cells and leaving the rest of you unscathed.
30:05Then you just kick the devil to the curb, and my love, you will be free.
30:13I like that.
30:15I almost believe it will happen just that way.
30:21This is a nice way to spend your anniversary.
30:24Bill thinks I'm his lucky charm, but Sammy, I think you're mine.
30:30You were there for me when I really needed it.
30:33You know, I was pretty surprised when I found out you and Joey know each other.
30:37Well, I know a lot of people.
30:40I'm sure Sammy does as well.
30:42You never know with people.
30:43You know, I would have thought that Sammy here would have a more legitimate kind of job.
30:48Wouldn't have taken you for a blackjack dealer.
30:50Oh, Bill, you know I would only put the most ethical dealer at your table.
30:54Like I said before, anyone would have helped if they saw a woman who needed to get to the hospital.
30:59Well, I wish that that were true.
31:01You know, as an attorney, I know all too well that most people would be too afraid to intervene.
31:06You know, they'd be worried that they might get sued or something like that.
31:09And others would be so callous that they'd just stand on the sidelines and live stream the whole incident,
31:13trying to get more followers and likes and online clout.
31:17I try to keep a low profile.
31:20Well, not too low.
31:22You can always be found when necessary.
31:25You know, Haley, it seemed like you and Sam were chatting up a storm the other day when I was
31:30talking to Joey.
31:31Seems like you two four is a pretty close connection.
31:45Here's Tia to bed 7-12.
31:49Ah, tell me the truth.
31:50How bad was it?
31:51I know how hard it is to please my aunt, so nothing you say will impact my opinion of you
31:55in the slightest.
31:57Oh, ye of little faith.
31:58If this had been a med school test, I'd have aced it.
32:01Dr. Lando, you have to be playing too.
32:03Really?
32:03Yes, really.
32:05You know, your aunt recognizes that I am a serious catch.
32:10Oh, Lord.
32:11Okay, I can breathe.
32:12I was just scared that she would think you had too much baggage.
32:15Hmm.
32:16Well, she did ask some serious questions about my past and my intentions.
32:20I have to say, Bernard Dupree has nothing on her when it comes to grilling a suitor.
32:25I'm so sorry about that.
32:27Don't be.
32:28You're a wonderful woman, Janice.
32:30You deserve someone like your aunt in your life who stands up for you and has your back.
32:37She's just always been the person in our family who just really gets me.
32:40Hmm.
32:41So, I'm glad it seems that she gets you too.
32:44Hmm.
32:44I warn you, now that I have the family seal of approval, you are stuck with me.
32:54Every drop from that IV that makes its way into your body is taking out a cancer cell.
33:02You are getting closer to remission by the second.
33:07Can you feel it?
33:08I feel just that.
33:12Oh, sweetheart, could you give me a pillow?
33:15Oh, yes.
33:16Hmm.
33:19Hmm.
33:22That's it, baby.
33:27Conserve your energy.
33:29Hmm.
33:44You know, Kat, it really is thoughtful of you to offer to keep me company.
33:50But, Jacob will be back soon, like I said.
33:53So, it just doesn't make sense for you to move in, to have to move right back out.
33:57Besides, clearly, the only reason you want to move at all is to avoid dealing with all
34:03the changes happening in Chelsea's life that affect you.
34:06And even if you do find a place of your own, the two of you will have to work those
34:10things
34:10out.
34:11Yeah, but I don't know how to do that.
34:14And I wish I did.
34:18You and Chelsea will find a way.
34:20I have faith.
34:23Whoa, who are you supposed to be, granddad?
34:25Oh, no, no, no, no, no.
34:27I don't have the gravitas.
34:30The gravitas.
34:30Or, or the voice, you know.
34:33Look, you and Chelsea are and will always be best friends, regardless of the state of
34:39your romantic lives.
34:41Okay?
34:42Okay.
34:46Thanks, Mom, and Andre, for everything you had to say.
34:49I feel like I see things differently now.
34:51Anytime, sweetheart.
34:53Talk soon.
34:53Okay.
34:57Well, that worked.
35:00Why are you looking at me like that?
35:02Because you are even more wonderful than I realized.
35:05You're not just healing me.
35:07You're helping my girls, too.
35:09Chelsea came to talk to you.
35:11I just so happen to be here.
35:13Don't you all shucks me, Andre Richardson.
35:16I know this much.
35:17My daughters will never feel comfortable having that kind of a personal conversation with Haley.
35:31It looks like my wife's the only lucky one today.
35:36I bet another drink will turn these around because my husband is the biggest winner I know.
35:44And that goes double on our anniversary.
35:50Two glasses of your finest scotch, please?
35:54On the house.
35:56Oh.
35:57Thank you.
35:59I'm surprised someone in your position is tending bar.
36:04No better vantage point in the casino.
36:07I can see everything that goes on with my customers and my staff.
36:15Knowledge is power.
36:46Knowledge is power.
36:46Knowledge is power.
36:47Knowledge is power.
