00:04Previously on Beyond the Gates
00:06No Dupree will stand in our way
00:08May the best matriarch win
00:10You have spent more time looking over there than you have at me
00:16Madison Montgomery, will you marry me?
00:19Yes
00:23I kissed Bill
00:24What did it mean to you?
00:26It was a goodbye
00:30Hey
00:32Morning
00:35Honeymoon periods run its course?
00:38I was planning on bringing you your breakfast stuff, that's all
00:42That could be easily arranged
00:44I'm always happy to hop back into bed at my hot hubby's request
00:47Come here
00:48Miss me already?
00:53How'd you sleep?
00:55I had anxiety dreams about being on the runway
00:58There I was, strutting my stuff, looking to die for
01:02But I was actually invisible
01:04Everyone could see right through me and spot one of the khadids
01:08Nicole would say that's your subconscious messing with you
01:11What would you say?
01:15That nobody brings it like Danny Dupree?
01:19So where are you with the whole Tatum-Stewart offer?
01:23Actively mulling
01:25I don't know, exposure like this could have a way too big impact on all of our lives
01:30This is me trying on this season's not being too impulsive look
01:34Like it?
01:35I love everything you wear
01:37Or don't
01:38And you shouldn't throw away and dismiss impulse
01:41It worked for us
01:43Thank you
01:43For being so supportive of me and my career
01:48You, sir
01:49Are my rock
02:01I am starving
02:03Figured we might as well have our admin meeting over breakfast
02:07Bonus being the rest of the firm can't hear you cursing the employer review board's recommendations from the club
02:20Well, I get that mom likes to sleep in, but damn, she is killing my buzz
02:25Hi dad, Caroline
02:28I'm glad to run into you two, together
02:32Chelsea and I worked everything out
02:34And in fact, we're engaged
02:44We can't take any more time
02:50Oh, I'm glad to get the most.
03:09Love yourself
03:09Bye for now
03:10Bye for now
03:10Bye for now
03:19I know you have off today.
03:21Yep, I'm filling in for Ginny.
03:22I'd rather be here than at home overthinking things I cannot understand.
03:27Like what?
03:28Quantum gravity?
03:29Men.
03:30They're just as big a mystery as we are.
03:34Not untrue.
03:35Except they wrap themselves in this layer of mixed messaging that I cannot decode.
03:40Also not untrue.
03:42I assume this has to do with our ab tech.
03:45Nurse Hugo, don't I see you?
03:47You think there's something slick about Grayson?
03:50Slick?
03:52Have you been talking to Derek?
03:56I'm glad you wanted to meet, but is this about me bugging Ashley?
04:01Have you been?
04:03Well, yes and no.
04:05I ran into her last night and we got into it.
04:09She left pretty pissed.
04:11News to me.
04:13Oh.
04:13So this is just a catch-up?
04:16Well, yes.
04:17I know.
04:25I'm surprised you didn't want to meet at a more private spot.
04:29Bill's starter wife was very suspicious to see you hanging with the client.
04:33Girl, no one takes Danny the spoil has been ex- seriously.
04:37She didn't seem expired to me.
04:39Unfortunately.
04:41I'm kidding.
04:42Girl, it's just I can't even get a cup of coffee without Danny mouthing off conspiracy theories.
04:49She was pressed.
04:51Yeah.
04:51That's her factory setting.
04:54Besides, we have a legit excuse to meet this morning.
04:59You still like freebies?
05:01You know it.
05:06Talked it over with Bill and we agreed Tomas will handle your case pro bono.
05:12Thanks, girl.
05:14You are always great at making things disappear.
05:21This is news?
05:24That ring.
05:26Five stars.
05:29Another Hamilton wedding on the horizon.
05:32When did you...
05:34Who proposed?
05:36I popped the question to Madison.
05:38See exhibit A on her finger, not mine.
05:40Though I will want to correct that.
05:42Chelsea pulled out all the stops last night.
05:45Yeah, I'm not surprised.
05:47When either of my daughters want something, they go for it.
05:50Full tilt.
05:52Like you.
05:53And mom.
05:55Where do you think I get all my fire?
05:58Ashley told me about the medical evaluation.
06:00Did they say when they can redo the test?
06:03Well, apparently there are residual responsiveness issues due to an impignant at my L2.
06:11And that's Greek for...
06:13No firefighting.
06:14Not ever.
06:17I am so sorry, Derek.
06:20But, I'm not sure if you heard, there's a free clinic opening down on Phoenix Street.
06:26My boss, Vanessa McBride, is involved.
06:28Yeah?
06:29Yeah, and the other woman who's running it, she could really use some help.
06:34I mean, the intent is there, but the expertise in healthcare, not so much.
06:39So, is Ashley going to help them out?
06:41I was hoping you would.
06:45Me?
06:45I mean, you have a bazillion other marketable skills besides that L2 mumbo-jumbo.
06:51And the clinic would be lucky to have you.
06:53I mean, you have your EMT training, right?
06:56And I also have contacts I could recruit.
06:58Paramedics, ER personnel, doctors.
07:01I hadn't even thought about that.
07:05This would be a way for me to still help people.
07:08Such a hero.
07:11Thor over here tell you how he came charging at me the other day, like I was personally responsible for
07:17Ragnarok.
07:20Can't you see we're busy?
07:23This ain't gonna work.
07:25Derek is the perfect solution to your problem.
07:28Which one?
07:29She has so many.
07:34Wait a minute.
07:36She's the other woman?
07:37I hate that phrase.
07:39You want me to work for her?
07:43Braun, maybe.
07:46Brain's not so much.
07:49Derek's worried there's something shady going on with Grayson.
07:52Okay, well, Grayson is none of Derek's business.
07:54I told your ex to focus on his own love life.
07:56Yeah?
07:57You think he listened?
07:58It's too soon to tell.
07:59But my honest take, it felt like there was a genuine concern.
08:03Oh, God.
08:05Why is his opinion getting under your skin so much?
08:08Well, do you want your ex's opinion in your mind about the new guy in your life?
08:12Fair enough.
08:14But is there a chance that you're bugging because there might be some truth to it?
08:20Okay.
08:21You know Grayson better than Derek does.
08:24What is your take on it?
08:25I don't know.
08:25It matters what you think.
08:27All right.
08:28Riddle me this, oh wise one.
08:39What does it mean when you're with a guy and in the middle of it, he gets a call, he
08:48takes
08:48it, and then he takes off with no explanation?
08:51Nurse talk?
08:52DOA?
08:55Grayson left your bed to answer a booty call.
09:00See, I just don't think that's what it is, though.
09:03But then I've got Derek's warnings rattling around in my mind.
09:06It's like, confusing.
09:07I just, I think that there's got to be a perfectly good reason that Grayson would take off like
09:12that, right?
09:13Oh, I know.
09:15Maybe he is the boy wonder and Batman needed his help in Gotham City.
09:19Or Derek's right, and Grayson's bat signal is a warning you shouldn't ignore.
09:31Hold your impulses.
09:33Tammy!
09:34You need to work on your timing.
09:36I am so sorry for the interruption, but we are about to host a very special guest.
09:42Tatum Stewart is in the DMV, and she insists no time is like the present.
09:47I haven't made my decision yet.
09:49Well, I expressed that to her, which made her even more determined to snag you as her
09:54spokesmodel.
09:54I wasn't going for hard to get.
09:56Well, that is what you've got.
09:57Tatum will be here in T-minus 20 minutes, so could you two lovebirds forego canoodling
10:02long enough to shower and get dressed, please?
10:04Pretty please?
10:05Two birds, one shower?
10:06In less than 20 minutes?
10:08Right.
10:08Later.
10:09I love you more, Andre.
10:15So, did you set up this surprise meet and greet?
10:18No, I assumed you did.
10:21Then this impromptu pit stop proves that Tatum wants Danny on board.
10:26The trick will be getting your stubborn bride to realize that this deal was made for her.
10:31Yeah.
10:36No way in hell am I working for this woman.
10:40This Avenger has been out of the job market way too long.
10:45I'm the employer, and you haven't been offered squat.
10:51Homeboys' interview skills are less than desirable to me.
10:56You both trust me, right?
10:58You know I do.
11:00You said yourself that this kind of project can help all sorts of people who are genuinely
11:05struggling, and you are looking for a renewed sense of purpose, which still involves saving
11:10lives, which is what you love to do.
11:13As far as I can see it, you kind of need one another.
11:18None this lifetime.
11:19Jan, see?
11:20You're already finding common ground.
11:23Okay, so what happens when my best friend, Detective Jacob Hawthorne, swings by for a visit,
11:29and he spots Leslie here spiking someone's IV because, I don't know, they looked at her sideways?
11:37Jan, I appreciate you trying to do a solid for this downtrodden former hero.
11:44Downtrodden?
11:44Former hero.
11:46Now, I have this sad puppy dog face face, but you know, I don't have time for this kind
11:51of negative energy in a place of healing.
11:54Besides, I have my cheerful, lovely Eva, who possesses actual experience running a medical
12:02facility, and she believes in the mission.
12:05You know that Eva doesn't have the time to commit to the hours it'll take to get this
12:09clinic going, and Derek is fully available.
12:13That's the understatement of the year.
12:16He will certainly be able to recruit volunteers.
12:20Why, he was just telling me that he has a ton of connections at the hospital and within
12:25the community.
12:28I suppose he does have a certain appeal for a very particular demo.
12:36Maybe we can dangle him to see if he can bring all the nurses to the yard.
12:41Offensive.
12:42Get used to it.
12:47For Jan, I'll give you a chance.
12:50One.
12:52On a trial basis, of course.
12:54Whoa, whoa, whoa.
12:55Wait a minute.
12:56I am not doing this.
12:57He'll think about it and get back to you.
13:03And then I said, yes.
13:08Oh, God.
13:10Oh, excuse me.
13:11It's the hospital.
13:12Yeah, you also got that?
13:20All those tears of joy.
13:23I need to touch it.
13:24I'll be right back.
13:30So.
13:32No congrats?
13:35Maybe you know I think the world of Madison.
13:38Actually, she and I have a lot in common.
13:40What every girl wants to hear.
13:41Yeah, she's brilliant.
13:43Committed to her career.
13:45Humble, gorgeous.
13:46Yeah, I agree.
13:48But weren't you two just about to break up?
13:50Well, we obviously worked things out.
13:54The devil's in the details, Chelsea.
13:57Is that where he is?
13:59Look, are you moving to Copenhagen?
14:02There's too much happening right now,
14:03but this is Madison's dream.
14:05So we're going to live the long-distance life for a little.
14:08Okay.
14:08Good.
14:09Good.
14:09That'll give you more time to figure things out.
14:13What's that supposed to mean?
14:15I just told you the plan, and you saw the ring.
14:19I saw it.
14:20Yeah.
14:20Chelsea.
14:22Marriage is not something you should just rush into.
14:26Are you thinking for real right now?
14:28I just want my baby girl to be sure.
14:29That's all.
14:30Is that so wrong?
14:31Don't hide behind this overprotective daddy excuse.
14:35You want me to pump the brakes in case this thing with Madison
14:38is just a silly little phase that I'm going through.
14:41Is that about right?
14:43The deal went south, so I'm still on the hunt
14:46for my dream home in St. Barts.
14:50Why not enjoy the delay and do some recon?
14:53I mean, they have amazing five-star hotels all over the island.
14:58You've been.
15:01You haven't?
15:02You haven't?
15:04Legal eagles really got to step it up, huh?
15:06What was your mark's deal?
15:09Classic hedge funder.
15:10With tan like a lobster and chewed his mouth open.
15:14But his yacht?
15:16Sick.
15:17Okay.
15:18What was the play?
15:20I had to cut it short.
15:22Remember my short, skinny friend?
15:24The one who went away?
15:27B and E Amari?
15:29Yes, Amari.
15:30Well, he got into a fight in the joint.
15:33He didn't make it.
15:35I came home and went to the funeral,
15:37and, well, St. Bart's sea dog moved on
15:41with someone with bigger flotation devices.
15:44Sorry about Amari.
15:47If Bill isn't cutting his workload short for a vacation,
15:51does that mean that he will be available
15:53to be more hands-on with my case?
15:56There are some family health issues
15:58with the girls taking his time.
16:02Including delusional Danny.
16:07What's her run?
16:09For the entire world to revolve around her.
16:13She's got that whole gravitational pull.
16:15She's mastered it.
16:17I mean, how does she do it?
16:18Damsel in distress?
16:20Bill can't resist Miss Bland-ass
16:22crying in his chest.
16:26So what's your play?
16:28Well, I know what I'm not gonna do anymore.
16:31Complaining to Bill just only backfights.
16:35You know, if someone gets off
16:36from being the strong shoulder,
16:38they always defend and deny that's what's up.
16:45I know Bill loves me.
16:48I just need to trust in that more.
16:53You have changed.
16:55That idea is a hot mess.
16:57One that's gonna 100% blow up your entire new life.
17:09You should stop trying to guess
17:10what Grayson was up to last night
17:11and just come right out and ask him.
17:14You're probably right.
17:15Don't you know by now
17:16I am pretty much always right?
17:18I was just trying to avoid an awkward convo.
17:21I mean, Grayson obviously didn't want to talk about it
17:22last night when he bolted from my bed.
17:25Well, discomfort is not a good enough reason
17:27to deny yourself the answers you need, Ashley.
17:29You have a right to them.
17:31Even though we're just in the hanging out phase?
17:33Yes, you should know what you're getting into.
17:37Just like with Ted and I.
17:38Last night he did something
17:40I totally was not at ease with.
17:43Oh?
17:44Get your mind out the gutter.
17:46Well, see, I'm asking even though it's awkward.
17:49Never you mind.
17:50And plus this is different.
17:51You don't have the right to know.
17:52Oh, but you're gonna tell me anyway.
17:54The point is, I slid my feelings to the side
17:57because I didn't want to spoil the evening.
17:59Well.
17:59I stayed quiet.
18:01I've been there.
18:02Nearly choked.
18:03Mm-hmm.
18:04And then I decided to call Ted out.
18:06Hella awkward?
18:07Yes.
18:08Mood killer?
18:08Absolutely.
18:10Relationship ruiner, TBD.
18:13Okay, you're really not slimy
18:14on this whole approach, Janice.
18:16I stood my ground.
18:17I said my piece,
18:18and today I have absolutely zero regrets about it.
18:22Oh, incoming woman up, Nurse Morgan.
18:34I owe you an apology.
18:36I'd really rather you just tell me
18:38why you took off like that.
18:41What happened last night?
18:43I know you and Madison are in love.
18:46You have this all wrong.
18:47Yes, please mansplain my thoughts to me, Dad.
18:53You've been through one crisis after another
18:55in a short window of time, okay?
18:58And tell me what I'm responsible for.
19:01You said it.
19:03And it has been intense,
19:05and life has thrown lots of big vads our way,
19:08and we keep leveling up.
19:10That's how Madison and I know
19:11that we're built to go the distance.
19:14Denmark?
19:16No.
19:17A lifetime.
19:18Together.
19:20Okay, look, I'll just be blunt.
19:22This is your first committed relationship,
19:23and experience has told me
19:24the decisions that are made
19:25in the heat of the moment
19:26look very different
19:27after things have settled down, baby.
19:29That's a you problem.
19:31But I'm marrying a very thoughtful
19:33and considerate person
19:34with a huge heart.
19:36I will never regret that.
19:41We're back.
19:44I was obsessed with this part.
19:47Chelsea, you have excellent taste
19:49in rings and partners.
19:51Thank you for always being
19:52in my corner, Caroline.
19:54I really appreciate the support
19:57wherever I can get it.
20:01If Bill's attention
20:02is shifting backwards,
20:04then you gotta bust out
20:05Big Bad Val.
20:06That is not my name.
20:10The crinkle above your nose
20:11is showing.
20:12What?
20:14I have zero lines
20:15on my face, girl.
20:16Come on.
20:17Made you look girly.
20:19Trust me.
20:21I know what I'm talking about.
20:23Ooh, she says
20:24while facing prison charges.
20:26That your old man's firm
20:27will get me out of.
20:28Am I right?
20:29Yes, we're the best in the biz.
20:31You have nothing to worry about.
20:33But,
20:34seems like you have
20:35all the answers.
20:37What do you think
20:38I should do?
20:39I
20:41trust you.
20:43You ever try
20:44making Bill jealous?
20:47What about tears?
20:50Guilt trip?
20:54Sex?
20:59Well, then that means
21:00you only have
21:01one move left.
21:03You gotta out
21:04Danny the Danny Dupree.
21:08Tatum Stewart.
21:10Pamela Curtis.
21:11I am so happy
21:13that at last we meet
21:14and that you found
21:15the time to pop over
21:16to our fair crest.
21:18I practically
21:19stormed those gates
21:20to get in here.
21:21The prospect
21:22of locking
21:23the Danny Dupree
21:25in for my new line?
21:27Exhilarating.
21:28By the by,
21:29I am so sorry
21:30for my faux pas.
21:31Oh, it's all good.
21:33Neither of us
21:33mentioned it to Danny.
21:34Oh, we just
21:35didn't want her
21:36to think that it was
21:36some sort of,
21:37you know,
21:37favor to Andre.
21:39Best to not
21:40spook the talent, right?
21:41Yeah, but Pamela's
21:43more family vault
21:43than agent.
21:45There's several
21:46future best-selling
21:47memoirs in there,
21:48I'm sure.
21:49Oh, I'll never tell.
21:50At least not until
21:51the deal closes.
21:54Funny.
21:55Great energy.
21:56And you have
21:57a purple aura.
21:58I trust your instincts.
22:02Speaking of,
22:04I always knew
22:05that Danny would
22:06light the world ablaze.
22:08finally.
22:22There's something
22:22you should know.
22:24That call
22:25was about my mother.
22:27It never gets easier
22:28to say,
22:28but she's got Parkinson's
22:29and all the balance
22:31problems that come with it.
22:32The assisted living
22:33facility she's at
22:34told me that she fell
22:35in the shower again.
22:37Oh, Grayson.
22:39Oh, I'm...
22:40Nurse Johnson
22:41to be here.
22:41How is she?
22:42Staff said she was fine,
22:43but I had to find out
22:44from my son.
22:44Of course, of course.
22:46I mean...
22:48Look, I get it.
22:50But why didn't you
22:51just tell me that?
22:52I should have.
22:53I know, I should have,
22:54but I was so furious
22:55with her caregivers,
22:56I didn't trust myself
22:57not to flip out,
22:58and I didn't want you
22:59to see that side of me.
23:01Well, did you
23:02go off on them?
23:05I cooled off
23:06on the ride over.
23:07Okay.
23:09But I'm more upset
23:10with myself
23:10than anyone else.
23:11Why?
23:12You couldn't have
23:13prevented your mom's fault.
23:15We both know
23:16the kind of pressure
23:17healthcare workers
23:17are under.
23:18Okay, and you're
23:19allowed to be upset
23:19if they're not monitoring
23:20your mother properly.
23:21But the place
23:22is understaffed.
23:23Okay, she calls out
23:24for help,
23:25her impatience wins over,
23:27and she goes rogue.
23:29I'm trying to get her
23:30into another facility
23:31with better
23:32round-the-clock care,
23:33but her insurance
23:36only covers so much.
23:37That's why I'm taking
23:37extra shifts here,
23:38trying to pick up
23:40some side jobs.
23:42Okay.
23:43So that's where
23:44the angry-at-yourself
23:45part comes in?
23:48When I was a kid,
23:49my mother hustled
23:50to take care of me.
23:53Now I'm trying
23:53to do the same,
23:54I just...
23:57I can't seem
23:57to catch up.
23:58If there is anyone
24:00who gets wanting
24:01to put your all
24:02into someone in need,
24:03even when you don't
24:04have it,
24:07it's me.
24:08Thanks,
24:09but no thanks.
24:11This clinic thing,
24:13it's not happening.
24:14Derek,
24:15you are not seeing
24:16the forest for the trees.
24:18Leslie is funding
24:19the project,
24:20and odds are
24:20you won't even see
24:21her much,
24:22if at all.
24:23That's not the type
24:24of woman to hide
24:25in the shadows,
24:26unless she's covering
24:27up a crime.
24:28What about the money?
24:30She's got lots of it.
24:32And I heard
24:33she's offering
24:34the few permanent
24:36positions a pretty
24:37penny.
24:40I don't get it, Jan.
24:42You're one of the
24:43sweetest people
24:43that I know.
24:44How are you friends
24:46with someone so lethal?
24:48This isn't just
24:49about Leslie.
24:50I'm worried about you.
24:53and the clinic
24:54will honor
24:54the late Doug McBride.
24:57He and Vanessa
24:58have always been
24:59very good to me.
25:00I want this clinic
25:01to thrive.
25:02I want Doug's legacy
25:03to live on.
25:04I didn't realize.
25:05We've all belly flopped
25:07and had to get back up.
25:09Leslie is trying
25:10her best.
25:12So quit looking
25:13down on her
25:14long enough
25:15to see this
25:16for the opportunity
25:17it is.
25:18You can make
25:19a difference.
25:22Remember that
25:22one time
25:23when we was in Philly
25:24and we went to
25:25that random-ass
25:26club in Prince Landing?
25:28Yes,
25:28that was one
25:29of my favorite nights.
25:31I'm sure.
25:34You were so scared
25:36to sneak back home
25:37that late?
25:37No, because I knew
25:38that my mother
25:39would wig out.
25:40Hell, if I was
25:41about to get knocked
25:42into the middle
25:42of next Tuesday,
25:44anyway, it might as well
25:45be on my own terms.
25:47It hurts less.
25:48I'm petite,
25:49but I pack a punch.
25:51The minute my mother
25:53saw my busted lips,
25:54she forgot all
25:55about my curfew.
25:57Yeah.
25:58You can't fake
25:59a health scare.
26:00Get a real one.
26:01That is the worst
26:02act and pain
26:03that I've ever heard.
26:06Wait.
26:07You're serious.
26:09If you and me
26:09team up together,
26:11we'd sell the hell
26:13out of it.
26:18Tatum,
26:19I know these
26:20are just sketches,
26:21but once again,
26:22you deliver.
26:23I see your signature twist
26:25in each and every design.
26:26It's the way you're
26:27playing with these silhouettes,
26:28so bold,
26:28bringing in patterns
26:29and gem tones.
26:32Yeah.
26:33Oh, my camera lens
26:34would love on all of these.
26:36Remind me to airdrop myself
26:38into this house
26:38next time I'm having
26:39a confidence flip.
26:43So,
26:44do I have
26:45a signature spokesmodel?
26:50Oh.
26:55My mother keeps raving
26:56about Gilles'
26:57deep tissue massage.
26:59Yes,
26:59and thank you
27:00for fitting in
27:00my fiance.
27:03He has a nice ring
27:05to it.
27:07So, still,
27:08nada from your mom?
27:09She texted.
27:10She has a business thing,
27:11but I'll see her later.
27:13Have you tried your mom?
27:14Uh,
27:15I'd like to
27:16protect our afterglow
27:18a while longer.
27:19You think she won't approve?
27:21Well,
27:21I'm sure my mom
27:22likes you more than me.
27:24Oh.
27:24So,
27:25I'd like to protect
27:25your bliss
27:26by delaying
27:27Willow,
27:28the whirling dervish,
27:29from barraging you
27:29with her woo-woo
27:30wedding ideas.
27:32What's wrong?
27:35Dad,
27:35he got in my head.
27:38Bill's not happy
27:39for us?
27:40More like his joy
27:42got lost in the
27:43English to Danish
27:43translation.
27:46He thinks we're
27:47rushing into marriage.
27:48Well,
27:49he's not wrong.
27:51Are you having doubts?
27:53Go for it
27:54as our thing now,
27:55remember?
27:57Maybe he's just
27:58being overprotective.
28:00You know,
28:00since the whole
28:00Allison ordeal,
28:01he's been more
28:02of a presence
28:02in my life.
28:04Well,
28:05how involved
28:06are we talking?
28:07Baby,
28:08this has nothing
28:08to do with you.
28:10If Willow
28:11is a number one
28:12Chelsea stand,
28:13then Bill Hamilton
28:14is a Madison groupie.
28:16Okay?
28:20What mood
28:21is on the menu
28:22for dessert?
28:24More shock
28:25than awe.
28:26My baby girl,
28:28she's just
28:28too young.
28:30How old
28:31was Danny
28:31when you met?
28:32Well,
28:33you think
28:33Vernon just rolled
28:34out to Don Perignon
28:35back then?
28:36It's too impulsive,
28:38okay?
28:39Another Hamilton
28:40making life-changing
28:41decisions based
28:42on temporary feelings.
28:44Who's the other
28:44Hamilton?
28:46Not Naomi.
28:47Danny.
28:48No longer
28:49a Hamilton.
28:50Yeah.
28:51I think it was
28:53Scandinavian panic
28:54that forced Chelsea
28:55to propose,
28:55and you and I
28:56both can agree
28:56that that's not
28:57an ideal start.
28:59Plans get made.
29:01Life happens.
29:01We adjust.
29:04Is Chelsea
29:05moving to Denmark?
29:06She says no,
29:07for now.
29:09How many clients
29:10have we heard
29:10say that long distance
29:11is what taint
29:12their relationships?
29:14We meet people
29:16on the brink.
29:17Our sample set
29:18is skewed.
29:19Yeah, yeah, yeah.
29:19Well, I don't need
29:19any more research.
29:20I know my daughter.
29:22The second they
29:22hit a rough patch,
29:24Chelsea's gonna do
29:24something crazy,
29:25possibly permanent,
29:26and she's gonna regret it
29:27for the rest of her life.
29:33Hey, Mom.
29:34Hey, sweetie.
29:36I am so glad
29:37I bumped into you.
29:38Oh, remember how
29:39Leslie wanted you
29:40to work for her
29:40free clinic?
29:41Oh, I keep trying
29:42to forget.
29:43Uh-huh.
29:44Well, I found
29:45someone for the job.
29:47You're not.
29:48Me?
29:50No.
29:50Okay.
29:51No, I had Leslie
29:52meet with Derek.
29:54How'd that go?
29:56Could've been better.
29:57Could've been worse.
29:59And that's Jan code
30:00for...
30:01Well, I got him
30:02to at least think about it.
30:04Okay, Mom.
30:05It is so sweet
30:06that you want
30:07to help Derek,
30:08but the last thing
30:08that he needs
30:09is to be an accomplice
30:10to, you know,
30:11whatever crime
30:12Leslie's planning next.
30:13Her money is helping people.
30:16Herself included.
30:18I don't buy
30:19that she's changed.
30:21And I don't think
30:21Derek will either.
30:24Just you wait and see.
30:26Leslie Thomas
30:27has come
30:27a very long way.
30:35Nurse Johnson.
30:37How you doing
30:38this morning?
30:39Busy.
30:39Need something?
30:40If you ask me.
30:41I didn't.
30:42You look haggard.
30:44I'm sorry,
30:44come again?
30:45You look haggard.
30:46Hope you didn't lose sleep
30:48last night
30:48over my little prank.
30:50Teddy Bear
30:51and I like to poke
30:52each other
30:52in all kinds of ways.
30:55It's our thing.
30:57Lord, give me strength.
30:59Oh, please, Lord.
31:01That sliver of red lace
31:03was just meant
31:05to be a tiny reminder
31:07of our naughty,
31:08unforgettable adventures
31:10then and now.
31:14Only I think
31:15you mean then
31:16and then.
31:19No end
31:20in sight,
31:21Nursey.
31:28Only in your
31:30sick,
31:31dark,
31:31twisted world
31:32would you think
31:33a stunt like that
31:35could actually work?
31:36Nurse Tia
31:37to roommate 18.
31:38Seems to have had
31:39the desired effect.
31:43You know,
31:44maybe there is
31:45a guy out there
31:46who would enjoy
31:47finding your nasty-ass
31:49thong panties
31:50stuffed in his couch
31:51and believe me
31:52when I say
31:53I would love
31:54for you to find
31:55that kindred,
31:56certifiable spirit
31:58and live out
31:58your best lives.
32:00But it ain't Ted.
32:03I have a funny
32:04feeling that
32:05seeing my goodies
32:07made my Teddy
32:08one at a time
32:09jump to a
32:10not-too-distant
32:11future
32:12where we
32:13get to
32:15remember
32:16our magically
32:17delicious moments.
32:19Huh.
32:20Next time you get
32:22that funny feeling
32:22I will call a doctor.
32:24You know,
32:24there's usually
32:25a cream or a pill
32:26they prescribe for that.
32:27Sure you'd know.
32:29You know,
32:29I could ring Ted
32:30or better yet
32:32maybe a house call
32:33would be ideal
32:34given our relationship.
32:37Ted is disturbed
32:38by your actions.
32:39He is definitely
32:40not turned on.
32:41I think you are
32:43projecting,
32:44niece.
32:45Yeah,
32:45Ted told me
32:46that you were
32:47devastated.
32:49I guess my sexy
32:50little joke
32:51had tapped
32:52into some
32:53real insecurities
32:55that run
32:57super deep.
32:59Hmm?
33:00Maybe you should
33:01see someone
33:02about that.
33:03this wave
33:04of desperation
33:05wafting off
33:07of you
33:07is nauseating.
33:09Well,
33:10like I told you,
33:11you do look peaked.
33:13And I mean,
33:14it's really hard
33:15to tell though
33:15given your usual
33:16power.
33:18Hmm.
33:19See,
33:20the thing about me
33:21is I'm good
33:22with or without Ted
33:23because I have
33:24something money
33:25can't buy.
33:26Pride.
33:27Go on,
33:28girl.
33:29Smuggle up
33:29with your bad self.
33:30Niecy?
33:31Maybe all that
33:32hot sense of pride
33:34will keep you
33:34toasty on those
33:35cold and lonely
33:38nights.
33:39Me?
33:41Oh, baby,
33:42I got my cash
33:43in the bank
33:44and a man
33:46right by my side.
33:49And that makes me
33:50happy on any
33:52damn day
33:53of the week.
33:54Okay.
34:01Tough about Leslie.
34:02What is new
34:03with you?
34:05Well,
34:05I saw Grayson
34:06last night.
34:07Oh.
34:07I really like him,
34:08Mom.
34:09And I think
34:10you will, too.
34:11Meeting the parent
34:12already?
34:13Well,
34:14not yet.
34:15Soon.
34:16We'll see.
34:17Why do you think
34:18I'd like him?
34:19Just a hunch.
34:21He was raised
34:22by a single mom,
34:23too.
34:23They're still
34:24really close.
34:26A man's
34:27relationship
34:27with his family,
34:29especially his
34:30mother,
34:31is very telling.
34:32Yeah, well,
34:32more than you know.
34:34Unfortunately,
34:35his mom has some
34:36serious health issues
34:37and he's been
34:37dealing with that
34:38while he's trying
34:38to support her
34:39financially.
34:42He's a good guy.
34:44He sounds
34:45like a keeper.
35:03I know that look.
35:04Don't.
35:05Well, don't worry.
35:07I won't be the one
35:08doing the convincing.
35:19I think that went well.
35:31Well played.
35:35I still think
35:36a patented blast
35:38from the past
35:38will get you
35:39the results.
35:40A stage mugging.
35:42Tried and true.
35:44Bill has
35:45too many resources,
35:47like his son-in-law,
35:48the detective.
35:49Jacob would comb
35:50through every camera
35:51in the DMV
35:52to find my attacker.
36:03You crazy bitch!
36:06No cameras.
36:07No problem.
36:11It's definitely
36:12going to leave a mark.
36:25No.
36:30No.
36:45No.
36:46No.
36:46No.
36:47No.
36:47No.
36:48You
