00:03Still can't give me a hint?
00:06Of course, I understand.
00:08Just let us know if we can do anything to accommodate you.
00:11Yeah, call anytime.
00:13Thanks.
00:16Hey.
00:17Hey.
00:20Um, that sounded like Chelsea cat business.
00:24It was.
00:26Um, I thought you said you didn't want to talk about purses right now.
00:30Yes, but I couldn't ignore a call from Cynthia Yang.
00:34The stylist?
00:36Did they make a decision?
00:38Not yet.
00:39But she got the custom purses that we sent.
00:41And she doesn't know if her client will be carrying one of our handbags to the Golden Globes.
00:46Did she at least say which nominee it might be?
00:48You know, Cynthia is a vault, and she didn't name names, but it kind of doesn't matter.
00:52I mean, we're talking about the Globes.
00:55Like, Chelsea cat could be seen all over the world.
00:59And if this actress mentions our brand?
01:02I know.
01:04Well, all we can do is wait and see.
01:08Theme of the day.
01:11You know, two weeks ago, I would have been over the moon about the Globes.
01:15And don't get me wrong, I still am, but-
01:18I get it.
01:20Gran's diagnosis overshadows everything.
01:25You probably think I was a total bitch for not going to the party last night, and maybe I was.
01:33But I just couldn't face it.
01:36Thanks for the text.
01:39I'm sorry I wasn't more understanding.
01:41You really were missed.
01:45Gran, she knew how stressed the whole family was, so she threw a pre-chemo party, blasting music and shaking
01:51it off.
01:53I heard it was a real Mardi Gras celebration.
01:55Oh yeah, she had beads for everybody, gumbo, king cake.
01:59She wanted us to focus on the positive and count our blessings instead of dwelling on...
02:08And even with everything she's going through, she's still looking out for all of us.
02:16Sweetheart, I know we decided you would come with me, but now that Danny and Nicole are getting the results
02:21of their genetic testing today, I think we need to pivot.
02:24So Titus can take me to the hospital and bring me back, that way you can be available for the
02:29girls if they need you.
02:30I thought you would feel that way.
02:32Then it's all settled.
02:33So I spoke to Danny and Nicole, and they insisted I accompany you to the hospital and stay with you
02:40throughout your treatment.
02:41It's not up to them.
02:43My love, you've been outvoted three to one.
02:47So you're stuck with me.
02:49Are you trying to tell me that I have no say in something that concerns me more than anyone else?
02:55You know better than that, Vernon Dupree.
03:14For more information, I'm happy to find much more information for the folks who've visited the hospital.
03:14Peel Fair.
03:15Apparently, we have an access room to the hospital and have an access room.
03:15It has been hauled number seven to five or five.
03:15Wait for the saint.
03:16You know better than what we've found life in on drugs?
03:19There's been a meal RIGHT now, in a library at the site known for yourself.
03:19We'll find out the potrzeplotals and who I took down weekend,
03:20will see, and forget to follow our local and that what we'll show them all for you.
03:21Let's get a month lose gumind put me
03:28When I texted, I didn't expect you to invite me over.
03:32You are welcome in our house 24-7.
03:35Oh, now I know that's not true.
03:38I've been up for hours.
03:39I went for a long run to clear my head.
03:43Nicole, would you like a smoothie?
03:45Today's special is blueberries, baby kale, and fresh pear.
03:49Mmm, that sounds delicious and incredibly healthy.
03:53That's Smitty's way of dealing with the uncertainty
03:55of waiting for the test results.
03:58He's trying to fill us up with antioxidants
04:00and phytochemicals just in case.
04:03Is that a complaint?
04:04Perish the thought.
04:06Your toasted quinoa salad was a revelation.
04:08Good, because I have a handful of recipes I'm itching to try.
04:12Thank you for taking care of my son and my grandchildren.
04:16And yes, I would love a smoothie.
04:18I'm on it.
04:23How are you doing?
04:25I'm wishing I could be with your grandmother right now,
04:27but Daddy says she doesn't want to crowd there
04:30for her first chemo session.
04:33My guess is that she's under a lot of pressure,
04:37constantly feeling like she has to
04:41reassure everyone that she's fine.
04:43I can understand that,
04:45but I know that I didn't want to be alone this morning,
04:48even though I know the test results
04:49probably won't be until the end of the day.
04:51I mean, I can rearrange my schedule so I can be there.
04:54No, no need.
04:55I'm headed over to your Aunt Danny's later.
04:57So you can get the test results together.
05:00Good plan.
05:01So we can be there for each other.
05:04Just in case.
05:06Oh, good morning, wife.
05:09Good morning, husband.
05:11And coffee?
05:13Yes.
05:16Oh, I missed you when I woke up this morning.
05:20Did you get any sleep?
05:21Some.
05:23Huh.
05:24Well, did your results come in?
05:27Nah, I knew they wouldn't be here this early.
05:30Nicole doesn't think we'll have them until late afternoon.
05:32Gotcha.
05:34Well, I don't think that it's healthy for you
05:36to be staring at this portal all day.
05:38So why don't we go for a run?
05:41That sounds great.
05:43Just not right now.
05:44Mm-hmm.
05:54Thank you for dragging my butt to the gym this morning.
05:57That workout was exactly what I needed to release some tension.
06:00I'm glad you think it was a good idea.
06:02Because I might have another one.
06:04Oh?
06:05Well, I can't wait to hear what it is.
06:07Let's see if Trudy can fit us in
06:08for an extra counseling session today.
06:11Unless you want to go by yourself,
06:12if you think that's better.
06:14I don't think so.
06:16Would you at least consider it?
06:18Babe, you're not just dealing with your grand's breast cancer.
06:21We're all worried about the test results
06:22from your mom and Nicole.
06:24And you're working with a couple heavy cases at work.
06:27You're spreading yourself thin, Naomi.
06:28And our counselor is the best person
06:30that you could talk to about handling your stress.
06:32I love the way you look out for me.
06:36But what?
06:37I can't fit in another therapy session into my schedule.
06:42All my spare time for the foreseeable future
06:44is already earmarked to be spent with family.
06:46But we can talk about whatever you want
06:48at our next regular marriage counseling session.
06:51It's not a question of what I want.
06:52Jacob, I'm sorry.
06:54I don't even have time to breathe these days.
06:57I told my mom I'd stop by her place before work.
06:59Wait, right now?
07:00Yes, but I can still grab coffee with you here before I go.
07:04But no breakfast.
07:05I'm sorry.
07:06No time.
07:07No time.
07:07I understand.
07:08All right?
07:09I'll take whatever I can get.
07:10Come on.
07:15I'm sorry for not going to the party, but
07:18and this is going to sound totally self-absorbed
07:21now that I know what Gran was really after.
07:24I was afraid I would be walking into an ambush.
07:28Why would you think?
07:29I thought that it would be some kind of family intervention
07:33where everyone was demanding I get genetic testing
07:36whether I wanted it or not.
07:38That's not a bad idea.
07:40I mean, nobody can resist a room full of determined Dupree's.
07:44Okay, kidding.
07:46No one wants to do that.
07:48And even if they tried, I wouldn't let them.
07:51I hate that we fought.
07:53So do I.
07:56Gran's whole point last night was for us to be coming together
07:58as a family and supporting each other through this.
08:01And instead, I got angry and I chased you away.
08:05And I'm sorry.
08:06I probably overreacted.
08:08Well, me too.
08:10I was freaking out for a sec,
08:11just thinking how bad things could get if these test results are ugly.
08:15Honestly, I am more than ready for these receipts
08:19that what's hitting Gran won't be coming for the rest of us.
08:22That's totally possible.
08:24If our moms don't get that gene,
08:27it doesn't make us bulletproof,
08:29but the odds tilt in our favor.
08:33But you have got to chill out with the doom loops.
08:37It's going to be a long wait before we find out.
08:40Well, not that long.
08:42The results come out today.
08:43But I thought...
08:45Granddad said the hospital pushed the lab work,
08:48and I guess they'll be ready today.
08:50I thought somebody told you.
08:52Well, I didn't miss any messages from Mom.
08:58She probably thought I couldn't deal.
09:01My mom could be facing news
09:03that would turn her world upside down.
09:06And instead of letting me step up,
09:08she feels like she has to protect me.
09:11You make it sound like you don't want me there.
09:14Of course.
09:15I would be glad to have your company.
09:17Then let's get a move on.
09:18But it is more important
09:19that you are available for our daughters today
09:22since I can't be.
09:23They're going to need at least one of us.
09:25The whole family is lined up for the girls
09:28just like you want it.
09:30Your bag is packed, too.
09:33What is that?
09:35Is that...
09:37That's not supposed to be my chemo go bag.
09:39It is.
09:40Well, why is it twice as big as before?
09:43Well, I added some of those cookies you like
09:47in case you get hungry.
09:48Hand cream.
09:49Your favorite throw in case you get cold.
09:52And a partridge in a pear tree.
09:55You pack that thing like I'll be gone for a week
09:58instead of a few hours.
10:00A few hours without that damn construction noise.
10:05Anyway, as I was saying,
10:07I made sure you got everything
10:09that you could need.
10:11And if I missed anything,
10:14I'll be there to go get it for you.
10:17All right.
10:19Besides,
10:20I can't carry that thing on my own,
10:23so I guess it's better that you come along.
10:26So hurry up.
10:28Don't make me late.
10:32Yes, dear.
10:34It's just a prescription renewal.
10:37Yes.
10:38Yeah, I was right.
10:40Us sitting here all day
10:41is going to drive us both crazy.
10:43Why don't we get out of here
10:44and find something to do?
10:46I can't leave.
10:47Naomi's on her way over.
10:48But you,
10:49you go run
10:50or work out at the club
10:51and you can bring us both
10:52back some brunch.
10:54Why do I sense an ulterior motive?
10:56You are sensing a craving
10:58for lobster, Benedict.
10:59Uh-huh.
11:00Well, you know I hate to leave you alone.
11:02Naomi will be here any minute.
11:04And Chelsea is right next door
11:06and she promises to stay close to home all day
11:07in case I need company.
11:08So go.
11:09Go exercise.
11:10Get some air outside these walls.
11:13Okay.
11:14I'll go.
11:15On one condition.
11:17Anything for you.
11:19Laptop shut.
11:21Okay, phone down.
11:22Wait to hear from your sister
11:23that the results have come in.
11:25I'll do my best.
11:28And that's as good
11:28as it's going to get, isn't it?
11:30Afraid so.
11:32Okay.
11:33Well, since my lady is jonesing
11:35for some lobster, Benedict,
11:37the club it is,
11:38I'll grab my gym bag.
11:40Okay.
11:45I'm sorry about being called
11:46on tour's takeout last night.
11:47I hated missing your grand's get-together.
11:49No, don't worry about it.
11:50Everybody understood.
11:51Kat didn't show up either.
11:53Why was that?
11:55Chelsea says that Kat's avoiding her.
11:57Apparently there was some kind of blow-up,
11:59but Chelsea didn't want to get into it.
12:01Really?
12:02I've never seen those two
12:03let an argument get that deep.
12:05Me neither.
12:06I guess your whole family
12:07is just on edge these days.
12:08Oh, the Dupree's could fill
12:10every slot in Trudy's calendar.
12:13Like, I know you're joking,
12:14but there's no shame in people
12:15asking for help if they need it.
12:17You should know by now,
12:19we are our own support group.
12:21Oh, I know.
12:22All I'm saying is you don't have to be.
12:25Why are you pushing therapy so hard?
12:28It's like you think I'm on the verge
12:29of a breakdown.
12:30No, that's not it at all.
12:32I just know you well enough
12:33to recognize the signs
12:34when there's something bothering you.
12:35Oh?
12:36Okay, and what signs might those be?
12:39Well, for one,
12:40you're throwing yourself into your work.
12:41You're barely sleeping.
12:43You're hardly eating.
12:44And you never want to tell me
12:45what's going on with you.
12:46I just told you I would tell you
12:47whatever you wanted
12:48at our regular counseling session.
12:51Okay?
12:52And have you forgotten
12:53that the case I've been working on
12:54for five months
12:55is going to trial next week?
12:56So my alleged symptoms
12:58are just my typical MO
12:59when I am buried in trial prep.
13:01And sure, I could make time
13:02to complain to a counselor
13:04that I don't have time,
13:05but that seems counterproductive at best.
13:07My mom is probably wondering
13:09where I am.
13:11Enjoy your breakfast.
13:12I will see you at home.
13:14Bye.
13:15You safe.
13:16Mm-hmm.
13:17Was that your mom?
13:19Yeah, she said
13:21I don't have to join her at Martin's.
13:22She'll swing by
13:24when she comes over
13:26to Aunt Danny's later.
13:28She didn't read
13:30like she was upset at me.
13:31Because she's not.
13:33I talked to her last night
13:34at the party.
13:35Aunt Nicole can disagree
13:37with your decision
13:37not to get tested
13:38and not be all mad about it.
13:41Unlike you?
13:43Okay.
13:43After the party,
13:45when Madison finally got off work,
13:47I told her about her argument.
13:49What did she say?
13:50That she's had difficult patients
13:53who refused good advice.
13:55Okay, no.
13:56I am not being difficult.
13:57And you don't get to play doctor right now.
13:59We both know
14:00Madison is biased
14:01because of what happened
14:02with her arms.
14:03Will you let me finish?
14:06Madison's advice
14:07was that I should
14:09back the hell up.
14:10Oh!
14:11I'm listening.
14:13She said
14:14that everyone
14:15is running their own lives.
14:17And
14:18pushing
14:19will just make
14:20both sides dig in.
14:22Look,
14:23I love you.
14:24And I want you
14:25to take care of yourself,
14:26but I know
14:27it's your call.
14:28But what you're not getting
14:29is this is me
14:30taking care of myself.
14:32Trust me,
14:33it would not be
14:34a good thing
14:34if I found out
14:35there was some
14:36enemy assassin
14:37just in my DNA
14:39and I can't change it.
14:41We're all here
14:42for you, Kat.
14:43You would never
14:44have to go through
14:45anything like that
14:46on your own.
14:46But that's the thing,
14:48Chels.
14:48I don't think
14:49I could handle it
14:50at all.
14:52I'm not
14:53strong like Gran
14:54and maybe someday
14:55I will be,
14:56but
14:57I'm not yet.
14:59And
14:59people pressuring me
15:01is not gonna
15:02make it go any faster.
15:03Okay.
15:04Backing off now.
15:07I just
15:07I just want
15:09things to go back
15:10to the way they were.
15:12Yeah, so do I.
15:17This smoothie
15:18is delicious, Smitty,
15:19and I will also
15:20take that
15:21recipe for the
15:22toasted quinoa.
15:23to please take it
15:24and keep it far
15:25away from Smitty's
15:26hands.
15:27Oh, pardon me,
15:28please.
15:32How'd you do
15:33with the golf simulator?
15:34I will lie
15:35and say that
15:35my swing
15:36is getting better.
15:38Look,
15:39I know you're
15:39in Martin,
15:40so I won't keep you,
15:41but I just wanted
15:42you to know
15:42that I was thinking
15:43about you today.
15:45That is very sweet.
15:46Thank you for
15:47checking in, Carlton.
15:49Well, I'll talk soon.
15:49All right.
15:51That was nice
15:52of him to call.
15:54Sounds like he didn't
15:55sweat it when you
15:56put him in the friend zone.
15:57Yes, well,
15:59I ended up
16:00changing my mind
16:01about that.
16:02Carlton and I
16:03are dating.
16:04Oh.
16:06That sounds
16:06so strange
16:07saying those words
16:08to my son.
16:10Probably not as strange
16:11as it feels
16:12hearing them.
16:14I don't know
16:15Carlton that well,
16:16but he seems
16:18like a good guy.
16:20He's very sweet
16:21and extremely
16:23thoughtful.
16:24We've been friends
16:25a really long time,
16:26so there's a
16:27level of trust
16:28there that I really
16:29value these days.
16:31Babe,
16:32I think this is
16:33one of those times
16:33your granddad
16:34would tell you
16:35to choose silence.
16:37It's not like
16:38I have anything
16:39against the guy.
16:40I'm just not sure
16:41about the timing.
16:42You're about to be
16:43with Gran
16:44during her cancer
16:45treatment,
16:45and there's a chance
16:47that you might
16:47test positive
16:48for the gene
16:49yourself.
16:50Are you sure
16:51this is the time
16:52to jump into
16:52a relationship?
16:54Your points
16:55are valid,
16:55but I can't
16:58help wonder
16:58if your discomfort
16:59here really stems
17:00from your loyalty
17:01to your father.
17:03I feel for Dad,
17:04but we haven't
17:05discussed it.
17:07I know it has
17:08to eat him up
17:09that he can't
17:09be there for you,
17:10and his best friend
17:12and business
17:12partner is.
17:17It's a text message
17:19from the hospital.
17:20The results are in.
17:27The medication
17:28will flow
17:28through your port
17:29and into your vein.
17:30The treatment
17:30should take
17:31a few hours.
17:32If you need me,
17:34please press this button.
17:36Otherwise,
17:36I'll be checking
17:37on you frequently.
17:38You may feel
17:39drowsy from the medication,
17:40so please feel free
17:41to relax.
17:43Relaxing may be
17:44the hardest part
17:44of this for her.
17:46Ha, ha, ha.
17:53Well,
17:55this is a real
17:56laugh riot.
17:57Aren't you glad
17:58you came?
17:59If I can keep
18:00getting lost
18:00in those beautiful eyes.
18:04Usually,
18:05it's hard for me
18:06to get you
18:06to sit still,
18:07so I'm soaking
18:08this in.
18:10Give me something
18:11out of that
18:11big bag of yours
18:12to keep me occupied.
18:15Ah, here.
18:19And if that
18:20doesn't keep you
18:21occupied,
18:21there's music
18:22and puzzles,
18:24me.
18:37Ah, the phone.
18:41Ah.
18:44Ah, here.
18:46Use this.
18:49All right.
19:01My BRCA1 and 2
19:03are normal.
19:05I'm not a carrier.
19:07Thank God.
19:08Thank God.
19:19Did Daddy tell you
19:20about the genetic
19:21testing Nicole
19:22and I need to do?
19:23Yeah, he told me.
19:26I'm really hoping
19:27that neither you
19:27nor Nicole
19:28inherit Anita's
19:29BRCAG.
19:31That way,
19:31you won't have to
19:32worry about your kids.
19:33Oh.
19:34I guess I need
19:35to fill Bill in.
19:36He's so protective
19:37over the girls
19:38he'd want to know
19:39before I tell them.
19:42Andre.
19:43What's up?
19:44Great minds.
19:45Naomi and I
19:46hit the gym earlier
19:47to work off
19:47some of the anxiety
19:48we're all feeling.
19:49Yeah, Danny told me
19:50that Naomi was
19:51going to head over
19:51to our place.
19:52I think it'll be
19:53good for her and Danny
19:54to have some time
19:54to spend with each other.
19:56And how's my
19:56mother-in-law doing?
19:58Trying to avoid
19:59stressing out
20:00until we actually
20:00get the results.
20:01Yeah, I know
20:02that's not easy.
20:03Yeah, next to impossible.
20:05But how's Naomi
20:06handling everything?
20:07I mean, I know
20:08it must be pretty
20:08scary for her too.
20:10Especially if you two
20:11are thinking
20:11about having kids.
20:12Yeah, Naomi,
20:13she's doing
20:13what she always does.
20:15Throwing herself
20:15at her work
20:16and taking care
20:17of everyone else
20:17except herself.
20:18Of course.
20:19We haven't really
20:19talked about
20:20what it means
20:20for the two of us
20:21if we find out
20:21she has a high chance
20:22of developing cancer.
20:24Yeah.
20:25And I'm really hoping
20:26that it does not
20:26come to that
20:27for any of us
20:27and that we'll
20:28get good news today.
20:29Yeah, for Nicole
20:30and for Danny
20:31so we can all
20:32just get to focusing
20:33on Anita and Vernon.
20:35I agree.
20:36I know you
20:37weren't really
20:37expecting this
20:38when you married
20:38into this family.
20:41I signed up
20:42for all of it.
20:43The moment I put
20:44that ring
20:44on Danny's finger.
20:45You know,
20:46the good,
20:47the bad,
20:48sickness,
20:49health.
20:50But I will admit
20:51that this is
20:52new territory.
20:54For me too.
20:55And for our wives.
20:57Those Dupree women,
20:58they're self-reliant.
21:00They never really
21:01know how to ask
21:01for help
21:02especially if they need it.
21:03And they never really
21:04love what we try
21:05to offer.
21:08Andre not up yet?
21:09Up and out.
21:10He went to work out
21:11and I asked him
21:12to bring me some breakfast.
21:13Not that I'll be able
21:14to eat it.
21:15Did you ask him
21:16to leave because
21:17he was getting
21:17on your nerves?
21:18No!
21:19No, not at all.
21:20He's been incredibly
21:20sweet and supportive
21:22but he's trying
21:24so hard to hide
21:25how worried he is
21:26so I thought
21:27I'd give him a break.
21:29Jacob's way of
21:29dealing with his anxiety
21:30is trying to get
21:31me to talk
21:31about mine
21:32and I'd really
21:33rather just save
21:34that for when
21:34we actually have
21:35something to be
21:36worried about.
21:36We will know
21:37soon enough.
21:43Nicole?
21:44Sissy.
21:45Do you have
21:45somebody there
21:46with you?
21:47Yeah, Naomi's here.
21:48Why?
21:49The results aren't
21:50in yet, are they?
21:51They are.
21:52What did you say?
21:54I'm not a carrier.
21:56Oh, thank God.
21:57That is the best news
21:58I've heard in a while.
21:59Hey, Naomi,
22:00would you check my portal?
22:02Open the laptop.
22:02The, uh, the tab's open.
22:04Oh, man,
22:05that is such a relief.
22:06And now Martin and Kat
22:07are in the clear, too.
22:14Danny?
22:17Are you there?
22:26Looks like Naomi
22:27and Chelsea
22:28are gonna need
22:28to get tested.
22:30I'll be right there.
22:33Your Aunt Danny
22:34tested positive.
22:35Naomi's with her,
22:36but I have to go.
22:38Of course.
22:39Um, what can we do?
22:42Call your grandfather
22:43and tell him the news.
22:45I'll take care of it.
22:49Hey, it's gonna be fine.
22:51It's gonna be fine.
22:53It's gonna be fine.
23:00Yeah, self-reliance
23:01practically radiates
23:02out of Danny.
23:05But, don't get me wrong,
23:06I love it.
23:07You know, it's one of the things
23:08we have in common, so.
23:09She must get it
23:10from her mother.
23:11Because Naomi's strength
23:12and the way she goes
23:13after what she wants
23:14is utterly amazing.
23:15My wife's a total badass
23:16when she kicks butt
23:17in the courtroom
23:18and everywhere else.
23:19A prime benefit
23:20of being married
23:21is knowing that you'll
23:22always have someone
23:22in your corner.
23:23I just need Naomi
23:24to relax and trust that.
23:26Yeah, I know what you mean.
23:28It took Danny a long time
23:29to feel like she could
23:30finally count on me.
23:33But I always thought
23:33that had more to do
23:34with the fact that
23:35she was the former
23:35Mrs. Bill Hamilton.
23:36Hey, man,
23:37don't even get me started
23:38on Bill Hamilton
23:38and what he did
23:39to his wife and kids.
23:41The two of us
23:42are going to be paying
23:43the price for his actions
23:44for a long, long time.
23:46Yeah.
23:47But I'll be honest, man.
23:48I'm glad that Danny
23:49is with you and not Bill.
23:51Yeah, I don't know
23:52how Danny stood it
23:52as long as she did.
23:55Look,
23:56I know you think
23:56you're new to this
23:57marriage thing
23:58and you think
23:58you're making
23:59a lot of mistakes,
24:00but believe me
24:01when I tell you
24:01that Bill will always
24:02make you look like
24:03the better man
24:03in comparison.
24:06Man, hey,
24:06thanks for the pep talk, Jacob.
24:08Hey, I'm just stating facts.
24:09That's all.
24:10Yeah, well, your facts
24:10have done me a world of good.
24:12I'm going to hit the gym, man.
24:13All right, cool.
24:14I'll see you around.
24:14Yeah.
24:16The facts are as follows.
24:19The test shows
24:20that you have the BRCA gene,
24:22but that does not mean
24:23you will get cancer.
24:24Sure, the odds are higher,
24:26but it's not guaranteed
24:27and there are still steps
24:28you can take
24:29to lower your risk.
24:30I understood
24:31all of those words,
24:32but baby,
24:33this really sucks.
24:35No, I know.
24:36It does,
24:36and I am so sorry.
24:38I was just praying
24:39that I would be able
24:40to tell you girls
24:41you'd have nothing
24:42to worry about.
24:43And we still might not.
24:44Okay, we're just going
24:45to take this one step
24:46at a time.
24:47Let me text Chelsea
24:48and I'll tell her
24:48to come over.
24:49No, no, no, no, no, no.
24:50She'll know what that means
24:51and I do not want her
24:51to learn that way.
24:52Please go tell her
24:53in person and tell her
24:56I'm so sorry.
24:57Mom, this is not
24:58your fault, okay?
25:00And this is not
25:01a death sentence.
25:02This is just knowledge
25:03that Chelsea and I
25:04can use to protect
25:05ourselves.
25:06Thank you
25:07for being exactly
25:09what I need right now.
25:10My thoughtful,
25:12sensible daughter.
25:14You're as strong
25:15as your father,
25:16and I just hope
25:18you inherited
25:19more of his genes
25:19than you did of mine.
25:21Hey, I am incredibly
25:22proud of everything
25:24I inherited
25:25from my amazing
25:27heart-on-her-sleeve
25:29dynamo of a mother.
25:31Hey, go.
25:34Talk to your sister.
25:36Well, I don't want
25:37to leave you alone.
25:38Not now.
25:39I'm okay.
25:40I promise.
25:41And I have to call
25:42Andre to let him know.
25:44Okay.
25:45I'll give you
25:46some privacy.
25:47Okay.
26:10Martin?
26:13I need to call
26:14the Grands,
26:15but I can't.
26:17Grand is in the middle
26:18of her first
26:19cancer treatment.
26:20How am I going
26:21to drop the news
26:22about Aunt Danny
26:22on them?
26:23By leading
26:24with the great news
26:26that your mother
26:27tested negative
26:28for the gene
26:28which puts you
26:29and Kat
26:29in the safe zone, too.
26:31Yeah,
26:32but I can hardly
26:33celebrate that
26:34under the circumstances.
26:37You have to, babe.
26:39We have to take
26:40happiness
26:41where we can find it,
26:42especially when
26:42there's so much
26:43darkness around.
26:44That's nice
26:44in theory.
26:46Let's talk about it
26:47practically, then.
26:48This entire family
26:49depends on your mother,
26:51especially Aunt Danny,
26:52and that's going to be
26:53even more true now.
26:54Nicole needs someone
26:56to lean on,
26:56and without your dad
26:57in the picture,
26:58she's going to need you
26:59now more than ever.
27:01I see where you're headed
27:02with this.
27:03Chelsea depends on Kat
27:04to a huge extent.
27:06Exactly.
27:07The three of you
27:08don't have time
27:09to feel guilty
27:09about the test results.
27:11You didn't do anything
27:12to cause them,
27:14but you can feel grateful
27:15that you'll have
27:16the strength
27:16to be there
27:17for the people
27:17that are going to need you,
27:19starting with your grandfather
27:20who needs to know
27:21where everything stands.
27:28Can't believe our bag
27:29didn't make the cut.
27:30Yeah, but only because
27:31they changed the outfit.
27:32Cynthia's still a fan,
27:34and hey,
27:34we were right there.
27:35This isn't over.
27:37There are still more award shows,
27:39more stylists,
27:40more chances.
27:41Yeah, I guess.
27:42No sulking.
27:43We need strategy.
27:45Flip this so it works for us.
27:46Come on, idea queen.
27:48Work your magic.
27:50Okay, what if our bags
27:52hopped on socials
27:54and gave the nominees'
27:55purses shout-outs?
27:56That way we can use
27:58the same content
27:59we already had prepared
28:00for our We Made It
28:01to the Golden Globes post,
28:03but with a different spin.
28:05Brilliant.
28:06And we could use
28:08the other bags
28:08to accessorize big moments.
28:10For your personal red carpet,
28:12your prom,
28:13your cotillion,
28:14your wedding rehearsal dinner.
28:16Yeah, I'm thinking about
28:17something like this
28:18for the design.
28:19Oh, that's gorgeous.
28:20Hey, sorry to interrupt,
28:22but I'm...
28:23Someone tested positive.
28:26Well, who?
28:27Don't tell me it's both of our moms.
28:29No.
28:30No, Kat,
28:32Aunt Nicole is in the clear,
28:33which means you and Martin are, too.
28:36Chels,
28:38Mom wasn't so lucky.
28:40Oh, my God.
28:41Look at me, Chels.
28:43Whatever happens,
28:44anything,
28:45everything,
28:47I am here.
28:48I am always here for you.
28:50Got me?
28:51I got you.
28:52And the same goes for you, Naomi.
28:54Anything.
28:55Thanks, Kat.
28:56I appreciate you saying that.
28:59I know I let everybody down last night.
29:03You don't have to.
29:04No, this is important.
29:07I should have been there,
29:08and I'm ashamed of myself that I wasn't.
29:11It won't happen again.
29:14I'm going to be there for my family,
29:15I swear.
29:17We're in this together, yeah?
29:20I was with Mom
29:21when she found out about the test results,
29:23and she sent me over here to tell you.
29:25How is she?
29:27As good as she can be right now,
29:29but I know she's going to need all of us
29:31to pull through for her.
29:58Martin.
29:59Hi, Grandad.
30:00How are things there?
30:02Smoothly, so far.
30:04Your grandmother's taking a little nap.
30:08Have you gotten any word yet?
30:10That's why I'm calling.
30:12Mom didn't inherit
30:13Grand's Braca gene variant,
30:16but Aunt Danny is a carrier.
30:19I'm sorry, Grandad.
30:20I wish...
30:22So do I.
30:24Is anyone with Danny now?
30:26Naomi's with her,
30:27and Mom is on her way over there.
30:29Good.
30:30Thanks for letting me know.
30:37Mom, I can't believe this is happening, sweetheart.
30:42I'm so, so sorry.
30:43Don't you dare apologize, okay?
30:45You don't have to worry about Naomi or me right now.
30:47We're here for you.
30:48I'm okay.
30:49Really?
30:50What do they say?
30:51God doesn't give you more than you can handle,
30:53and apparently he thinks I can handle a lot, because...
30:57And I can.
30:59I am made of tough stuff.
31:01You certainly are.
31:03You and Grand are two of the strongest women I know.
31:07I just hate you keep having to prove it.
31:10Aunt Danny, I am so sorry you're going through all of this.
31:13Thank you, baby.
31:14And I am so relieved and happy that Nicole got a clean bill of health.
31:20Mom, you're still healthy.
31:22I absolutely am.
31:23And I intend to stay that way.
31:25And thankfully, I married a man who is annoyingly focused on fitness.
31:29Invites me to join his morning runs.
31:32I guess this isn't a good excuse to beg off.
31:34No, but if you ever want a workout buddy who wakes up at a more reasonable hour...
31:39Count me in on that, too.
31:41You are both being incredibly sweet, and I am very appreciative.
31:46But right now, what I need is rest.
31:48I didn't get much last night for obvious reasons,
31:51and I can't look like a wreck when I see Mother.
31:54It'll just make things worse for her.
31:56Do you want us to leave?
31:57No, no, no, no.
31:58Please stay.
31:59Make yourself comfortable, and Nicole's coming over,
32:01and Andre will be done with his workout soon.
32:03And I couldn't reach him because he forgot his phone.
32:06So could you just fill him in, please?
32:07Yeah, of course.
32:08Okay.
32:09Go get some rest, Mom.
32:09Okay.
32:25Mom, I'm so glad you're okay.
32:29I second that.
32:30We're really thankful you tested negative, Aunt Nicole.
32:32The two of you will not be going through any of this alone.
32:34Do you hear me?
32:35I'm a phone call away, day or night.
32:38We'll definitely take you up on that, but right now, Mom is a priority.
32:41Where is she?
32:42Aunt Danny went up to lie down.
32:44Is Andre with her?
32:46No, he went out a long time ago, but he left his phone here,
32:48so he doesn't even know about the test results.
32:51How is she?
32:52Well, she's trying to be strong for our sakes, but...
32:58Mom, I just want to say I'm sorry that I didn't answer your call last night,
33:04that I wasn't there for Gran, for everything.
33:07I got your text, baby.
33:08It's okay.
33:09It's not.
33:11I wish we'd never argued about the gene testing.
33:15Everyone's been going through hell, and I've just been making it harder for everyone.
33:20You did your best in a terrible situation.
33:23I am just relieved that you are feeling a little more comfortable about it.
33:27I do.
33:29And I'm going to be there for you, for Gran, for Aunt Danny, for...
33:34I know.
33:35I love you, baby.
33:38Could you put in an order for Lobster Benedict with an egg white omelet with spinach to go?
33:45Thanks.
33:48Danny loves her Lobster Benedict from here.
33:51It is delicious.
33:53Hey, how are you and she holding up after Anita's diagnosis?
33:58Nicole keeps me in the Dupree family loop.
34:00Right.
34:01Well, it's been tough.
34:03And it could get a whole lot tougher once these results come back.
34:07Well, I hope it's good news, Andre.
34:09Yeah.
34:11Either way, I'm all in.
34:13Forever.
34:22How are you feeling?
34:24You need anything?
34:26I'm fine.
