00:04As far as I'm concerned, you are my real mother, my only mother.
00:11Whoever you want me to know is the woman who just pushed me out.
00:16If I had it to do all over again, I would have tracked you down a lot sooner.
00:20You deserve to know your history.
00:22But it took me till I was almost about ready to meet my maker to do the right thing.
00:27If my birth mother didn't care enough to raise me, why should I give a damn?
00:32Because it's important.
00:34I have to take care of business and get all of my affairs in order while I still can.
00:39And you, Dana, are my most important business of all.
00:45I don't mind the sound of that.
00:48This is serious. This truth could change everything for you.
00:54You were very quiet on the way home.
00:56Well, I was thinking about Ted and Nicole.
01:02I know they've been separated for a while now, but Nicole divorcing him, that's gonna still be a big change.
01:11You know, a change for the better as far as I'm concerned.
01:13She needs to get on with her life.
01:16Even so, I can't help feeling like a little bit of a failure.
01:21You? What does Nicole's divorce have to do with you?
01:25Well, doesn't common wisdom say that women tend to pick partners based on their relationships with their fathers?
01:33So I've read.
01:34Well, Nicole and Danny ended up marrying men who cheated and lied.
01:39But you, my dear, have done neither.
01:43Don't blame yourself for Ted and Bill's failures.
01:45And take pride in the fact that our daughters didn't put up with their bum husbands.
01:50Okay, granted, Danielle tolerated bills for landering much longer than she should have, but Nicole took a firm stand the
01:59moment she found out what Ted did.
02:01I suppose that's true.
02:03Mm-hmm.
02:05Now, let Rowena get it, sweetheart.
02:07Listen, I think this is the time for all the deprees to come to terms with the past and start
02:13new chapters.
02:15Nicole is getting closure with Ted, just as I, in a more positive way, did with the articulettes.
02:22Hi, you two.
02:24Oh, I'm so glad you came by before you left.
02:27I wanted to have a proper farewell.
02:29Actually, Anita, we were hoping not to say goodbye.
02:34We're hoping you'll reconsider joining us when we go on tour.
03:11What's with the last minute text invite? Everything okay?
03:14Uh, do I look okay?
03:16You look fantastic. In fact, you're radiating. Something's different.
03:20And it's all coming from the inside, too. Care to spill?
03:25Um, sissy.
03:27It's a party, so I decided to decorate.
03:29With pin the tape on the teddy?
03:31What are we celebrating?
03:33My impending divorce.
03:38Divorce. Stuff nightmares are made of.
03:41Nicole served me papers.
03:42Ouch. Uncle Ted.
03:44Hmm.
03:47Did you really think that it was a surprise, though?
03:49I mean, you've been separated for months.
03:52I thought we were in a holding pattern. I would talk to her. I would see her.
03:56Her anger had softened, so I thought.
03:59Yeah.
04:00That's why I feel so blindsided.
04:02But has she ever said anything to you to make you feel that you were erected silent?
04:06Things are always so vague with Nicole.
04:09You know, now suddenly she's decided we weren't worth saving.
04:13Right.
04:14I feel you about being blindsided like that.
04:18I'm going through the exact same thing.
04:21With Danny?
04:22No. With Ashley.
04:24Ooh, it is slow as molasses in January, as my grandma used to say.
04:29Yeah, there hasn't been much activity.
04:31But we are a hospital, so maybe that's a good thing.
04:33Gives me a chance to catch up on my discharge planning.
04:35Well, far it be for me to wish ill help on somebody to make my evening more fun.
04:40I haven't even seen Andre around lately.
04:43Guess his girlfriend Danny's been keeping him pretty busy, huh?
04:47Guess so.
04:49Well, leaves more time on your hands.
04:51So what have you been doing to keep yourself busy?
04:53Oh, you know, I'm just focusing on my own personal development.
04:56I think it's time to invest in myself.
04:58Oh, so you've been embracing the single life.
05:00Is that what I just said?
05:02Practically verbatim.
05:03Okay.
05:04So are things still done with you and Derek?
05:05Yep.
05:07Maybe I'll use all that time I spend dating and do something for myself.
05:10Ooh, like learn a language.
05:12Oh yeah?
05:13Which one?
05:14I don't even care.
05:15Anything but French.
05:21I'll be careful what you wish for.
05:22Ashley, check room availability, please.
05:24We've got a patient coming up from emergency.
05:26Right.
05:29What's happening?
05:30Biking accident.
05:31He went over the front handlebars.
05:33C-spine precautions are in place, but he is alert and oriented.
05:35Move.
05:35Move, quick.
05:36This doesn't look good.
05:38This is it.
05:39Charlie, it's worth that.
05:49Go on tour with you.
05:51The whole point of this tour is to show the world that you two are lead singers.
05:55I reminded Tracy, you insisted our reunion was one night only.
06:01But you took to the spotlight again like a duck to water.
06:04And I mean that in a good way.
06:06Your light made us all shine.
06:10So?
06:11You wanna hit the road with us?
06:16I will support whatever you decide to do, my love.
06:22I'm sorry, ladies.
06:24I have to stand by my initial decision.
06:27Right now, I couldn't possibly think of being away from home.
06:31There's a lot happening with my foundation work, but more importantly, with my family.
06:38What I've learned the hard way is that lives really don't change, no matter how much you dream they will.
06:45How could learning more about my mother make anything better for me?
06:49I'd be some kind of masochist and want to go out of my way to meet a woman who wanted
06:54nothing to do with me.
06:57Gosh, do you know how many times that I've been rejected?
07:02Enough to last a dozen lifetimes.
07:06Always so stubborn and rebellious.
07:09And it serves me well.
07:11And it serves anybody in this world who wasn't born with a silver spoon for a pacifier.
07:17Please, just shut your trap for a minute and listen to me.
07:22Tell yourself it's my last dying wish.
07:26Fine. Enlighten me, Peaches.
07:27Your birth mother was a friend of mine.
07:31She was beyond talented.
07:35She was a professional singer for a while.
07:38Really?
07:39I mean, I really liked to sing.
07:41Figured that my birth parents, they didn't amount to a hill of beans.
07:47Your birth mother's career was cut short when she was on the verge of success.
07:52Sadly, she never recovered from that disappointment.
07:56Then, about a year later, she found out she was pregnant.
08:01What about my father?
08:02I mean, who was he?
08:04Your mother would never mention him.
08:07If I asked, she'd never talk about it.
08:10So, I just, you know, sensed that it was not really a long-term relationship.
08:19And I don't know how that is.
08:21I'm not even sure he knew.
08:23Yeah, maybe it's in my DNA.
08:25My own kid grew up with a father who didn't know she existed.
08:30It's not in your DNA, Dana.
08:33It's choices and circumstances.
08:36Your mother was working minimum wage jobs and struggling.
08:40She didn't have support.
08:42She was running out of money.
08:44And she decided to turn to me for help.
08:48Put him in the exam room, too.
08:49Oh, I'll go with him, Ashley.
08:53Remember your training.
08:54This is someone you know too well.
08:56Let the paramedics handle it, okay?
08:58There could be a head injury.
09:00What do I do?
09:01Page the neurologist on duty, Dr. Madison Montgomery.
09:05Ashley, you have to be a nurse right now.
09:08Treat him like you would treat anybody else.
09:10Okay.
09:11Okay.
09:12Okay.
09:12Okay.
09:16Hey, I remember you.
09:17You're one of the guys from the fire station, right?
09:19Yeah, that's right.
09:20What happened?
09:21He wasn't prepared.
09:23He started training for the triathlon too late.
09:25He didn't even know the course.
09:27Most of us have gone over that course dozens of times now.
09:29Was there a hill or a hill?
09:30No.
09:31It was a series of S's.
09:33S curbs.
09:34Okay.
09:34You know, there was a horseshoe and it's nasty.
09:36But every rider, every professional cyclist knows to slow down.
09:40Dirk wouldn't slow down.
09:41I tried to warn him.
09:42He didn't listen to me.
09:43He sped up.
09:44Oh, my God.
09:45Yeah.
09:46He went over the handlebars.
09:47His lower back slammed against the curb.
09:49God, what was he thinking?
09:51I don't know.
09:53But before the competition, he told me that he was willing to go to the limits and beyond.
09:57That's what he always does.
09:58It's different when you're pulling someone out of a burning building.
10:02But it's something else entirely when you have nothing to lose but...
10:06What?
10:08Me.
10:13Brilliant me.
10:14I blew off a completely perfect, very hot, no strings attached thing with Danny.
10:20Hmm.
10:20So I could settle down with Ashley.
10:22Only for Ashley to tell me we were done.
10:26You were willing to give up Danny Dupree for the newbie nurse?
10:31I thought that Ashley and I could have had something serious.
10:35Hmm.
10:35I mean, she straight up told me that she would date me.
10:39If I was willing to be exclusive.
10:41And you know me, Uncle Ted.
10:42That has never been my M.O.
10:44But I said, sure.
10:45Why not?
10:46And then she just played me.
10:49Maybe you think you were giving her what she wanted.
10:52Hmm?
10:52How's a man supposed to figure that out?
10:54I did everything by the book.
10:56I took it slow.
10:58I whined her.
10:58I dined her.
10:59I'd share stories together.
11:01Hmm.
11:01Only to wind up still kicked to the curb.
11:03I mean, what's up with that?
11:05Women have a change of heart.
11:08Hmm.
11:08I guess.
11:09Yeah, I guess.
11:11I know that Danny is wild and she blows hot and cold.
11:15But Ashley, I thought she was the kind of person that would keep her word.
11:19She seems so rational.
11:21For the sake of sounding like a caveman, is there even a such thing as a rational woman?
11:28You see that right there?
11:30That is not making your case as husband material.
11:33Yeah, well, I've groveled for the past few months.
11:35Where's that got me?
11:36Hmm?
11:36Nowhere.
11:37I'm gonna keep it real.
11:38Nicole has been so inflexible, so unforgiving for something that happened decades ago.
11:44What am I supposed to do?
11:45Get a time machine so I can go back and make different choices?
11:49I don't know.
11:51I took Ashley to Paris, never even leaving D.C.
11:55If you want Auntie Baddeley enough, you...
11:59Hmm.
11:59I hate to be Captain Obvious, but whatever magic trick you pulled didn't work any better than my apology.
12:06So, you can keep your advice in your pocket and I'm gonna keep the liquor in the glass.
12:13So, is that why I'm here?
12:15To watch you wallow in self-pity?
12:18Yeah.
12:21I've lost the love of my life for good, so I deserve a big fat pity party.
12:28Ladies, the first rule of my divorce party is that nobody, and I mean nobody, is allowed to tell me
12:33how sad they are for me.
12:34The divorce was my choice, I gave it a lot of thought, and honestly, I feel really good about it.
12:39So, no moping, no commiserating.
12:42I am opening my arms to the universe and saying, I am single, bring me whatever I've been missing.
12:48Alright, well, Nicole, we are entering independence together since ol' Andre gave me the booth.
12:53What? Why?
12:54He decided he'd rather be with someone much, MUCH duller than I am, all because she was willing to get
12:59serious.
13:00I'm getting whiplashed. Didn't you two just make a splashy debut at your mom's concert?
13:04I don't know what I was thinking.
13:05PSA, ladies. Sometimes it's better to keep a sneaky link a sneaky link.
13:09Can't argue that.
13:11Uh, out of the three of us, Vanessa, you're the only one who's still married. Yours is still going strong.
13:15Is strong really the right word? It's going. And I've got plenty of reasons to stick with it.
13:21Like?
13:22Nicole, you only gave us one rule for the party.
13:25Oh, right. Rule number two.
13:27Anytime we catch ourselves talking about the men we are involved with, we have to drink.
13:33This party is about independence, remembering that we only need each other. Mother just showed us how it's all done
13:39with the articulettes.
13:41To women.
13:43To us!
13:46Ladies, if you don't mind, I will allow you the privacy to say your goodbyes.
13:51So good to see you again, Tracy.
13:54Oh, you're welcome at our home anytime. Visit anytime.
13:59You are a gracious host. Thank you, Fernand.
14:02Uh, what about me? Does that offer apply to me too, or am I too much trouble?
14:08You know, I've spent a lifetime tangling with the toughest. I think I can handle you.
14:15Oh.
14:17I know that's right. I bet you could back in the day if certain people hadn't gotten in the way.
14:22And I'm still in the way, so slow your roll, sis.
14:26Oh, I saw that look of relief on his face when you said you wouldn't be joining us on tour.
14:31Yeah, of course I was relieved. I want to see my beautiful wife every day. I make no apologies for
14:39that.
14:40Now, excuse me, I have to prep for this upcoming semester, and I am far too long in the tooth
14:48to keep school hours and nightclub hours.
14:52Good night.
14:53Good night.
14:57We are all so blessed.
15:00Amen.
15:01Amen.
15:02How many people get the chance to heal old wounds so profoundly and finally put the past to rest?
15:11I am well acquainted with how tough it is to raise a child on your own. Hell, adversity has been
15:18my constant companion.
15:20What about your daughter?
15:22Eva? What about her?
15:24Is she as rebellious as you were?
15:27Hardly.
15:27She waited till her butt was full grown to rebel. You know, I don't know whether to be disappointed or
15:34proud.
15:35You know, you were actually a pretty sweet child.
15:40Really?
15:41Mm-hmm.
15:42But then you hit those teen years and decided it would be cool to hang out with the alternative kids.
15:49That's when you started calling me Peaches instead of Mama.
15:54That hurt like hot tar.
15:57For what it's worth, I'm sorry.
16:02It's absolutely worth something.
16:04Must have been a difficult decision for my birth mom to give me up.
16:09I can't imagine what it would be like to have life without my Eva.
16:19Dana, I promised you, hand to God, that I was going to give you the whole truth.
16:26Even if it was hard to hear, that's what I'm going to do.
16:31So...
16:33Your birth mother never wanted children.
16:37She was horrified when she found out she was pregnant.
16:41But me...
16:44I always dreamed of being a mother.
16:48But the good Lord didn't bless me with the ability to conceive.
16:54I wasn't rich by any means, but I had a steady job and I paid my bills.
17:02I was doing a lot better than my friend.
17:04When she called me and asked, it was mutually beneficial.
17:11Hmm. Makes sense.
17:13I mean, it explains my whole life.
17:17Nobody ever seems to want me around.
17:22We'll need to follow concussion protocol, since according to his records, he had another concussion a few months ago.
17:27No.
17:30I need to be here.
17:38Hey, everything's going to be okay, okay?
17:40Ashley...
17:40You're in the hospital, your neurologist is here, and we're going to get you the best care that we can.
17:45I messed up.
17:46No, you don't have to do that.
17:47I nearly made it.
17:48I hit the curb on the course.
17:50I knew what I was supposed to do, but...
17:53Everyone told me to do, but...
17:54Derek, scan your body mentally.
17:55Where's the pain?
17:57My back hurts like hell.
18:01And...
18:03I can't feel my legs.
18:08Ah.
18:10Old wounds healed.
18:12That's a beautiful thing.
18:15But I do have one huge regret.
18:18What is that?
18:19The decades we spent apart from each other.
18:24Isolated.
18:25Mad.
18:27Unwilling to close the distance between us.
18:31Now, I admit...
18:32I was the one who was most negative.
18:35You said it, not me.
18:38I'm trying to be real here, and you're just going to poop on my parade.
18:40It bees that way sometimes.
18:43Anywho.
18:47What I'm saying is, if we would have just put aside the anger and resentment, maybe we'd have been able
18:57to get back together years ago.
18:59That's a beautiful thought, Sharon, but we each have had our battles to fight.
19:05For me, it was opening up the box where I kept everything Barbara.
19:11And until I did that, I wasn't ready to face the two of you.
19:16Much less try to salvage what was left between us.
19:22Was it worth it?
19:25What was left between us was far more than I even thought possible.
19:32I always knew that if we could get into the same room, we'd hash things out.
19:39I mean, look at us.
19:40We sang together after decades of offstage, and we managed to put ourselves back on the map.
19:47And you and I are going on the road.
19:52The love between us was real.
19:54And it can hold up against anything.
19:58I am so grateful for that.
20:01God, have we cried enough?
20:04I'm sorry. I was thinking about Barbara.
20:07And how much I wish she could have shared this triumph with us.
20:14No one wanted you around?
20:17That's not at all what I see.
20:19To me, you are an answered prayer.
20:23One woman's answer is another woman's question.
20:29Your birth mother offered me her unborn child with one stipulation.
20:36When she gave birth, I had to move away and never tell her where we went.
20:41I had to cut off all contact.
20:44And I could never tell you who she was.
20:48And when you were old enough to ask about her, I was supposed to just say your mom passed away.
20:55Don't know whether to hate or admire a schemer like that.
21:00Maybe I'm going to chip off the old block.
21:02Well, when your mother started to show, she went away so that she could have her baby, you.
21:09When she went into labor, she called me.
21:12I was there at the delivery.
21:16You were crying so loud, louder than any other baby in that entire maternity ward.
21:24What did I look like?
21:26You were beautiful.
21:28Brown face with chubby cheeks and the cutest little nose.
21:34Who named me?
21:36Your birth mother.
21:38Dana Leslie.
21:40She said she looked like a Dana.
21:43And Leslie was her grandmother's name.
21:46How?
21:48Given everything you just told me, I'm really surprised.
21:54I mean, I wouldn't expect her to care enough to want to pass a part of her onto me.
22:04I probably shouldn't tell you this.
22:06No.
22:08Beaches, no.
22:09You are in it.
22:10So you better ease your conscience and you better spill the beans because I want to know everything.
22:15When your birth mom looked at you, the look on her face was so, so tender.
22:22She was nearly in tears.
22:24She was holding you so tight.
22:26I thought she wasn't going to let you go.
22:29I thought she had changed her mind about giving you up.
22:33And then she handed you to me.
22:37She knew I could do what she couldn't.
22:41That's love.
22:45It appears you have an injury to your L2 vertebrae.
22:48Do you know what that means?
22:49Yeah. I injured my spine.
22:52I can't pinpoint the exact location of the damage or the severity until we take a closer look.
22:57Shanice, please call down for an MRI and make sure the OR is prepped for immediate surgery.
23:01And find out which neurosurgeon's on rotation.
23:03Wait. They're going to operate?
23:06Don't be alarmed.
23:07These scans will tell us what we need to know for now, but until the surgeons get in there, they
23:11won't be able to fully diagnose the problem and figure out how best to treat you.
23:14I'd like to be a part of his surgical nursing team.
23:17Dr. Montgomery, you should know that Nurse Morgan and this patient have a personal relationship, so I'll make those calls.
23:24Okay, I just want to help.
23:26The best way to help your friend is to provide emotional support after he's out of surgery.
23:30We don't have a second to waste. I'm going to get an orderly to take him down for the scans.
23:35Okay.
23:42Everything's going to be okay.
23:43I love you, Derek.
23:47I thought you were over me.
23:49I tried.
23:51I failed.
23:59Your mother loved you by giving you to me.
24:03She didn't want the fuss of all the paperwork or getting all the extra people involved.
24:08And when she placed you in my arms, you were mine.
24:14Did she keep in touch?
24:17Did she check up on me?
24:20No.
24:21She was a woman of her word.
24:23She meant what she said about no contact, and then she passed away a few years later.
24:30I'm sure it was complicated.
24:33I guess I'm surprised she didn't even want to see me before.
24:38I mean, like, what you're doing?
24:41She was in bad shape, Dana. Don't judge her.
24:43She had given up on everything.
24:47Because of whatever illness she had.
24:51Sure.
24:52The illness.
24:57Okay.
24:58There's no way to sugarcoat this.
25:01Your mother wasn't sick.
25:03At least, not in that way.
25:07Was she in an accident?
25:10Peaches, how did she die?
25:15Suicide.
25:19Barbara is with us right this moment.
25:22I felt her energy on stage.
25:24I told my daughter something special happened, and it felt like a weight was just lifted off of me when
25:30we sang.
25:31I believe our concert brought Barbara back from the dead.
25:36Made sure she got the props she never got during her years on God's good earth.
25:41She was overlooked because of me.
25:43You went above and beyond to make up for it.
25:46Now it's time for us to take the past and put it behind us.
25:49You pulled off a freaking miracle.
25:52Be as proud of yourself as Tracy and I are of you.
26:00Hear, hear, to mother and the articulates.
26:05But may I remind you that our perfect Y chromosome free sisterhood is a little flawed due to mother's near
26:12perfect marriage to daddy.
26:13Drink!
26:15Next toast is yours.
26:17I'll pass.
26:19Come on, get with the program, nephew.
26:21If we can't drown our sorrows, at least we can briefly submerge them.
26:28Bottoms up.
26:29Yep.
26:30No fair, Vanessa. You jumped the gun.
26:32The rules of the party are not to mention men we are currently or formally involved with.
26:36Dogs are okay.
26:37All right. Aren't you supposed to be trying to cut loose, start a new chapter?
26:41Yeah.
26:43Then let's toast to your next ex.
26:45Whoever he may be.
26:48I mean, who is she looking for me to be?
26:51Her ex?
26:53She swore up and down she was over him.
26:56Besides, I tried to be him by being a one-woman man.
26:59For her.
27:00I swear.
27:01If one more person tells me I need to cut loose, I am going to-
27:04You know what?
27:05People wouldn't keep saying it if you actually didn't.
27:09You can't.
27:10I'm busy.
27:11With?
27:12Work.
27:14With my kids.
27:16Especially Eva, she needs me the most.
27:19But at least, once a day I ache to talk to Nicole.
27:24You know, just get her advice, share good news.
27:30Just hear her laugh.
27:32Go Bestie! Go Bestie! Go Bestie! Go Bestie! Go Bestie!
27:37Loose!
27:38Hey! Hey! Hey!
27:39You bet it! You bet it! You bet it! You bet it!
27:42Me. That's who.
27:44It's killing me that I'll never know if Ashley and I could have gone the distance.
27:50The heartbreak.
27:51Okay.
27:54To moving the hell on.
27:57Aw, yeah.
28:02I came as soon as I got your test.
28:04I'm so sorry.
28:06It's so awful.
28:07Terry can't feel his legs. They just rushed him into surgery.
28:11God, he's been taking these crazy risks lately.
28:13And I can't help but think that he's just trying to prove that he's worthy of me because I kept
28:18rejecting him.
28:19Oh, no.
28:20Don't blame yourself.
28:22He runs toward danger for living.
28:25Derek's always been a little reckless.
28:26But he used to say that he would do it to live life to the fullest.
28:29But no, I'm just...
28:30I'm afraid that he's pushed things too far.
28:34Oh, God. How is he? How was the surgery?
28:41Sharon, we gotta go. We're gonna miss our flight.
28:43Okay, okay. I'm coming.
28:45Just have one more thing to say.
28:48I agreed to do the concert.
28:52Hoping to relaunch my career and make me some cash.
28:56I intended to walk away and never waste another thought on you, Anita.
29:03That's not what happened.
29:06This has been one of the most moving and fulfilling experiences of my life.
29:20Since when does our resident tough girl get sentimental?
29:25Honey, you ain't the only one who can change.
29:27This has been an amazing experience.
29:33I am so grateful that you put your pride aside.
29:42And for getting us back together.
29:47All four of us.
29:50Oh, thank you both.
29:53For letting me back in your lives.
29:56For giving your all at the concert.
29:59But mostly for always inspiring me with your glorious voices.
30:05One last time for the road.
30:09Better together.
30:11Sisters forever.
30:14Articulate strong.
30:17You remember that girl group, The Articulates, that I used to listen to?
30:21Of course.
30:22I just went to their reunion concert a few nights ago.
30:27It was smoking.
30:28It was so amazing to hear all those women singing together in person.
30:34I knew all the songs.
30:36They used to be a quartet.
30:39Yeah, yeah.
30:40They honored, um, Barbara something or another.
30:44She got booted out before they made a big.
30:47Yeah, I needed the priest seemed to be really affected by that.
30:51Why do you ask?
30:53Well, that Barbara something or another is your birth mother.
31:04Derek listed you as his emergency contact.
31:07Oh, I-I knew that's how it was before, but then, um, well, we broke up and I-
31:11Would you prefer-
31:12No, no, no, no. I want to know everything.
31:14Please.
31:15Uh, how is he?
31:17There was an impingement on Derek's spinal cord from a bone fragment that chipped off during his accident.
31:22The surgeon was able to remove it and unpinch the nerve.
31:25Okay, so, um, eventually he'll make a full recovery then, right?
31:32Right?
31:34I hope he regains function.
31:38But it's also possible he may never walk again.
31:43Your speech about missing Nicole every day.
31:47It's giving me some perspective.
31:49Well, a man who's willing to chuck a friends with benefits situation with a former supermodel for a chance at
31:56love with the city's best new nurse, there's plenty of perspective.
32:00Maybe, but that's not the point, Uncle Tay.
32:03What's the point?
32:05Being real.
32:06With yourself, with Nicole.
32:09I mean, sure, you may have done some begging and had a romantic gesture or two, but have you ever
32:14gotten real with her?
32:16Apparently I haven't.
32:17Well, maybe if you did, it might get through to her.
32:22You make a good point.
32:25And I don't want to lose the love of my life.
32:29Yeah, thank you.
32:30For what?
32:31For making me realize I can still fight for Nicole, huh?
32:36Goodbye, you wonderful women.
32:39I had the best night ever.
32:40I like this new sassy single, Nicole.
32:43She's fun.
32:45But sissy, you know you don't always have to act like that, right?
32:49If you ever find yourself mourning your lost marriage, you call me.
32:53You can talk to me.
32:55I appreciate the offer.
32:57But honestly, right now, I don't feel the least bit sad.
33:00And I hope that's true.
33:02Because we Dupree women have a tendency to put on the tough gal mask.
33:06That doesn't mean we're not hurting deep down.
33:08Ain't that the truth.
33:09Love you, sissy.
33:11I love you more.
33:16The house suddenly got quiet, so I assumed it was safe to come down.
33:22The ladies are on the way to Chicago for the big tour.
33:26Have any last-minute regrets?
33:29No.
33:30That chapter with the articulates is a fait accompli.
33:36Except...
33:37What's on your mind?
33:39I think it would have been nice if someone from Barbara's family had been in the audience.
33:44I'm just sorry it didn't occur to me to reach out to them.
33:47Well, I hope that small regret doesn't mar your experience.
33:51No, no, no, no. Nothing could do that.
33:53I just have to trust that Barbara's family has made peace with what's happened.
34:04My mother wasn't articulate.
34:08Yes.
34:09Poor Barbara Mitchell didn't get any of the fame or money.
34:13She wasn't on any of the records. I mean, I don't even know her voice.
34:19Well...
34:19I said my piece.
34:22I'm glad that you were getting closure from telling me all this.
34:27And maybe in the long run, I'll actually be grateful that you filled in all the holes.
34:32But...
34:33Right now?
34:35Just knowing where I came from makes me feel like crap.
34:38What am I supposed to do with all this information, peaches?
34:42Every cloud has a silver lining.
34:45So they say.
34:46When I get to heaven, I'm gonna have my maker take me straight to Barbara.
34:53Because she is up there making a way for you to make up for all the things she's doing.
34:59What are you talking about?
35:02Because of your birth mother, you stand to inherit a fortune.
35:10What are you talking about?
35:12Next on Beyond the Gates.
35:15Martin, I think we have a situation.
35:18I didn't lie.
35:20I saw you and Danny Dupree all over each other.
35:25I have some news.
35:26And you're not gonna like it.
35:28Why the rush?
35:29And why is Anita Dupree the first person you need to see?
35:32Get that woman out of my house!
35:35Who is up next?
35:37Chelsea Katz!
35:38Chelsea Katz!
35:39There it is!
35:41She do it!
35:44We did it!
35:46You're not going to die.
35:47We're gonna be close.
35:47You're not going to die, but...
35:53No, it's not going to be so good.
35:57To be in this episode, it's going to be so good.
35:58We'll be right back to the new house.
35:58But, everyone, you have a new house.
35:58We'll be right back to the new house.
35:59That's the new house.
