00:05I swear, every time I close my eyes, I think I'm going to wake up and find out that none
00:09of it's true.
00:10But my baby sister is alive and safe.
00:14I know exactly what you mean.
00:16And we have that husband of yours to thank for, eh?
00:19Better show him a little special appreciation.
00:21Oh, trust me, I've got things planned.
00:24Okay.
00:25That is, if I can get him away from work, he's still dealing with that jurisdiction mess, to get Allison
00:31extradited back here from Virginia.
00:33Oof.
00:35Uh-oh.
00:35Your grandmother's going to have our heads.
00:37You know how she is about punctuality.
00:39Oh, shoot.
00:40Just hold up right there.
00:43Come here.
00:46Your husband sure did us proud.
00:49Jacob is family now more than ever.
00:52Can you believe it?
00:53Our baby girl made it home to us.
00:59Hmm.
01:25I know I'm the last person you expected to see, but with everything that's happened with Chelsea, I just, I
01:32just wanted to see with my own eyes how you're holding up.
01:35White orchids.
01:37They're beautiful.
01:39Yeah.
01:41I reached out to Kat, um, you know, I guess this was supposed to be her and Chelsea's big moment.
01:47Instead, it's...
01:47Instead, our entire family got flipped upside down.
01:49Hmm.
01:50But my niece is home now, and that is all that matters.
01:58Uh...
02:00Uh, Ted, I hate to do this, but...
02:02Yeah, I know you're heading out.
02:03Um, I can see that.
02:05I'll be quick.
02:05I just wanted to know how your family took the news about Leslie.
02:09What news?
02:12Well, about how I took care of the whole situation, stopped her from moving across the street from your parents.
02:17Oh, that.
02:18I, um, I haven't exactly shared that particular news yet.
02:23Oh, you haven't told them?
02:25Ted, my niece just got rescued from being held captive by a stalker.
02:29Don't you think we've been a little preoccupied?
02:36Gran?
02:38Grandad?
02:40Okay, this is weird.
02:41The doors are never closed.
02:44Uh, let's wait in the living room.
02:46Okay.
02:53There she is!
02:56What is this?
02:57I know we made it seem like it would just be a small, intimate breakfast.
03:01But how could we not properly celebrate having our granddaughter back home where she belongs?
03:07To our brave girl.
03:10To my cousin, who's stronger than she thinks.
03:46You haven't been up all night stressing over Ted's foolishness, have you?
03:50Child Ted Richardson did make me feel lower than a snake's belly with that little stunt he pulled.
03:57But your mama stayed ten toes down.
04:01I ain't breaking a no man.
04:03And I'm not bending for the Duprees acting like they have a patent on breathing black and bougie air.
04:10Pfft, they really are showing their hold behind sending Bill Hamilton after you like a higher gun.
04:15Let them, honey.
04:18Because money talks, and your mama has more than enough to play their game.
04:23I'm usually the first one to tell you when you are doing too much, but this time they are dead
04:27wrong.
04:28Okay?
04:29And I'm gonna make sure that you have someone in your corner who can go toe-to-toe with that
04:33glorified paper chaser.
04:35Okay, now you've got my attention.
04:37What is going on in that devious?
04:38I don't mind if you would.
04:42Gotta go, mama, but I got you.
04:46Got your text.
04:48You wanted to see me?
04:50I just got off the phone with a Jarvis' attorney.
04:54Turns out they're not exactly thrilled about that sudden change of heart you had.
04:59Yeah, well, I had a better offer, an opportunity on the table.
05:03What?
05:04So I thought.
05:05You win some, you lose some.
05:07No, no, that's not me.
05:10See, that house is my destiny.
05:11So I need you to get back on the phone with the Jarvis'es and make them see things my
05:17way.
05:18Didn't you hear what I just said about them feeling insulted?
05:21That ship has sailed.
05:23Leslie anchors up.
05:24Bon voyage.
05:26Well, then why don't you get in your little designer Barbie paddle boat and go on and bring them back
05:33on shore?
05:34Because that house that sits really pretty across from the Dupree's, it's not just another listing.
05:42It's about glow up.
05:43And I'm not taking no for an answer.
05:47Come on in here.
05:48The whole family's on their way.
05:50Though you two early birds beat them to it.
05:52Well, almost all of them.
05:54Well, you know I had to be first, cuz.
05:57This toast to my business partner is long overdue.
06:01The strength you showed, baby.
06:03When you faced that woman down the way that you did, that's that Dupree firing you.
06:08And we are all in awe.
06:10Lead the way, beautiful.
06:16Cuz?
06:17You okay?
06:20Okay.
06:24Man, this Chelsea Hamilton situation was insane.
06:27Bill finally hit me up late last night after things wound down.
06:30You know, to get an update on how it went at the office while he was tied up.
06:34You could hear the relief in his voice.
06:37Yeah, my dad was feeling all that, too, with Chelsea being his niece.
06:40Though that didn't stop him from playing mama with that fake house offer.
06:44Yeah, that was pretty foul.
06:47Acting like he was doing her a favor, meanwhile he's twisting the knife.
06:51But it did solve your problem.
06:53Now you don't have to worry about your mom moving into Fairmont Crest.
06:56Yeah, about that.
06:58When I saw how hurt mama was by what Bill and my dad did,
07:02I changed my mind.
07:04Look, she has the money, and this is her dream, okay?
07:07Why shouldn't she get to live her best life wherever she wants?
07:10You've got a point.
07:11But there's not much we can do about that.
07:17Wait, you want me to do something about that?
07:23Unfortunately, when I spoke to the Jarvis' attorney,
07:26there'd been an unexpected development.
07:29Oh, really?
07:30Turns out they've discovered several rare specimens of trees on the property,
07:35including sycamore maples.
07:36Well, they're quite rare,
07:38and can only be safely relocated during specific seasonal windows.
07:43Trees?
07:44Yes.
07:45Think of the environmental impact alone.
07:47We all have to do our part to reduce our carbon footprint.
07:50No.
07:51Nah.
07:53Not me.
07:54Now that I have my trust fund,
07:57the only carbon footprint that I am making is going to be so big,
08:02my great-grandchildren will spot it all the way from space.
08:07Either way,
08:07it's better to accept reality and move on.
08:10Dream home or not.
08:11But rest assured,
08:12I did come prepared.
08:14Let me show you some incredible alternatives I found.
08:18And these properties are all available immediately.
08:23This Georgian Manor in Riggs Park.
08:25It has eight bedrooms and smart home technology.
08:29Impressive.
08:29Or this Mediterranean Villa in Crestwood.
08:33It was just featured in Architectural Digest.
08:36Twelve whole pages.
08:38Now,
08:39this,
08:40this one is special.
08:43This historic mansion is tucked right in the heart of Calorama.
08:47The Obamas have their primary residence just a block over,
08:51and the garden terrace alone would make Oprah jealous.
08:54Are you finished?
08:56Or are you done?
08:59I'm just trying to show you the caliber.
09:01Now, see, you know,
09:02the funny thing about all these properties that you're showing me,
09:05they all have something in common.
09:08The architectural pedigree,
09:10the prestigious neighborhoods?
09:12Mm-mm.
09:13Not a single one of them is in Fairmont Crest.
09:18Now,
09:19somebody is tap dancing all over the place,
09:23trying to keep me out of those gates.
09:26Look,
09:26I know Chelsea's ordeal takes precedence over everything else right now.
09:30Oh, how thoughtful of you to notice.
09:32Well,
09:33I just thought that everything that's happened with your family,
09:35knowing that Leslie won't be breathing down your necks,
09:37would be one less thing to worry about.
09:40You saw everyone at the hospital last night, Ted.
09:43They could barely think straight.
09:45My parents,
09:45Danny,
09:46all of us,
09:46we are just grateful that Chelsea's alive.
09:48Exactly my point.
09:50I...
09:50Is that what this is actually about,
09:52or are you just looking for a pat on your back?
09:54No, Nicole, I'm not...
09:55Save it.
09:56All I know is that I'm running late.
09:57Where is my damn purse?
10:00Baby,
10:01are you okay?
10:03This is...
10:04This is really nice.
10:06Um,
10:07and I just,
10:08uh,
10:09I forgot
10:10I have this other conflict.
10:13Um...
10:14Are you sure?
10:16Yeah,
10:16I'm really sorry.
10:17I just...
10:18I just can't right now.
10:20I'm sorry.
10:23Dear God,
10:24what have we done?
10:25I swear she said she was okay
10:27with a small gathering.
10:29Uh...
10:30Let me...
10:31Let me go check on her.
10:38I just wanted her to know
10:40how grateful we are,
10:42and how blessed we feel
10:44to have her back.
10:46She knows it.
10:47Right now,
10:49knowing it
10:50isn't the same
10:51as feeling it.
10:53And some wounds
10:55need more than love
10:56to heal.
11:02Underneath all that attitude,
11:04Mama is still
11:04that same young woman
11:05who thought she found her
11:06forever in Ted Richardson.
11:08Okay?
11:09Sometimes hope
11:10makes you stupid,
11:11you know?
11:12Hmm.
11:13And now my boss
11:14is coming for her too?
11:16You heard about
11:17what he did to her
11:17back then,
11:18forcing her to leave town
11:19while she was carrying me.
11:20And now he's doing
11:21the same thing again,
11:22just with prettier words
11:23and fancier tactics.
11:26This is a whole new
11:27vibe for you.
11:28What do you mean?
11:30Standing up for your mom.
11:31I mean,
11:31usually you're the first one
11:33telling her she needs to chill.
11:34Well, maybe I'm tired
11:35of watching powerful men
11:36tell her where she can't
11:38and can't exist.
11:39Besides,
11:40my mom's new bag
11:41doesn't mean anything
11:41if they can still gatekeep.
11:42You know the easy play here.
11:44How to dodge
11:45all this drama.
11:47Find some other
11:48fancier address?
11:49Don't think so.
11:51That's why the best lawyers
11:52barely see the inside
11:53of a courtroom.
11:54Why take on a fight
11:55you can't win?
11:56Who says she can't?
11:58We need someone
11:59who can match
11:59Bill Hamilton
12:00move for move.
12:02So you're looking
12:02for a referral?
12:03Sure, I can hook you up.
12:04But I should warn you,
12:06between the Hamilton
12:06and your pre-connections,
12:07finding decent representation
12:09won't be easy.
12:10I don't want
12:11a referral.
12:14I want
12:15you.
12:17As lovely
12:18as these homes are,
12:20they're not
12:21what I asked for
12:22and you know it.
12:23Do you know
12:24any of these neighborhoods?
12:26Woodland,
12:27Normanstone,
12:27Massachusetts Heights,
12:29Georgetown?
12:30You think
12:30throwing around
12:31some fancy zip codes
12:32impresses me?
12:34I have clients
12:35who would kill
12:35to get into
12:36any of these places.
12:37The waiting list alone...
12:39Oh, well then,
12:40bless their polar
12:41wonderful precious hearts.
12:43Maybe you should
12:43sell them
12:44the homes
12:45because I don't
12:46want a single one.
12:49I want
12:50the home
12:50that I set out
12:51to own
12:52before Ted Richardson
12:53decided he was
12:54going to play games.
12:56The same kind of games
12:57I think you're sitting here
12:58trying to play with me
12:59right now.
12:59You're playing games,
13:00Barbie.
13:01I don't know
13:01what you're implying.
13:02I happen to be
13:03very good at my job
13:04and I pride myself
13:06on the integrity
13:07I bring to it.
13:08Ha!
13:10Integrity, huh?
13:11Oh, you're concerned
13:13about your reputation,
13:14are you?
13:15Oh, it means
13:15everything to me.
13:17Hmm.
13:18Well, if I were you
13:19and I'd get cracking
13:20on making that sell
13:22or I'll have to
13:23take you up
13:24with the real estate
13:25commission on
13:27charges
13:27for racial discrimination.
13:31You would what?
13:33Oh, you heard me, Nessa.
13:35Try me.
13:36And you will see
13:37how fast
13:38your reputation
13:39for integrity
13:40goes up,
13:42up, up
13:43in smoke.
13:45Poof.
13:47Daddy said Chelsea
13:48just walked out?
13:49Yeah, I was just
13:50telling your sister
13:51when we mentioned
13:52everyone coming over,
13:53she just froze up
13:55like deer in the headlights.
13:56We have to understand
13:57something.
13:58When trauma victims
13:59say they're fine,
14:00their mind and body
14:01can tell a different story.
14:03Chelsea spent a lot
14:04of hours wondering
14:05if she was ever
14:05going to see
14:06any of us again.
14:07And we thought what?
14:09Pastries and mimosas
14:10would fix that?
14:13Chelsea has a long road
14:15to being better.
14:16Unfortunately,
14:17a lot longer
14:18than any of us realized.
14:20I pushed too hard.
14:22Should have known better.
14:23Oh, Vernon, please.
14:25You were just trying
14:25to show my daughter love
14:26after what that woman
14:27put her through.
14:28Yeah, you were right
14:29to try, Granddad.
14:31Chelsea needs to know
14:32that she's not alone.
14:33Maybe I should try
14:34to talk to her
14:35sister to sister.
14:36Well, Madison left
14:38with Chelsea.
14:39Kat has already
14:40hit it that way
14:41as well.
14:42Right now,
14:44I suppose the best
14:45thing we can do
14:46is give her space.
14:47Yeah, space to breathe,
14:49space to process,
14:50and space to remember
14:51who she was
14:52before all this happened.
14:53I just feel so helpless.
14:54We all are the sweetheart.
14:59But Chelsea will
15:00find her way back to us.
15:02She's a Dupree.
15:03And Duprees always
15:05find their way home.
15:08Chelsea, please.
15:10You actually ran
15:11out of the house.
15:12Just this morning,
15:13you couldn't wait
15:14to see her grandparents.
15:15I'm tired, okay?
15:16That's all.
15:17Chelsea, I saw what happened
15:19when Vernon mentioned
15:20everyone coming.
15:21You completely shut down.
15:22But just this morning,
15:23you were talking about
15:24being ready to put everything
15:25that happened
15:25with Allison behind you.
15:26And I will.
15:28I am.
15:30I have to.
15:32Are you worried
15:33about your family
15:34wanting details
15:35and you having to
15:36replay it all
15:37like some twisted
15:37highlight reel?
15:40Or is there something
15:41you haven't told
15:42any of us?
15:43That's what I'm trying
15:44to figure out, too.
15:47Whatever it is,
15:48whatever's eating at you,
15:50we got you.
15:59I know I'm probably
16:00telling you
16:01what you already know,
16:02but what you described,
16:03Chelsea freezing up like that,
16:05bolting at the mention
16:06of everyone coming,
16:07it's giving classic PTSD.
16:10We suspected that,
16:12but hearing it from you...
16:14Makes it real, doesn't it?
16:16She didn't just stalk Chelsea.
16:19She studied her
16:20like she was writing
16:21a dissertation
16:21on her entire life.
16:24Every Instagram post,
16:25every friend,
16:26every habit.
16:27That level of calculation
16:29is scary.
16:30And then she orchestrated
16:32that whole fake relationship
16:33that she broke off.
16:34Just to abduct her
16:36and haul her off
16:37in the middle of nowhere
16:38for some twisted fantasy wedding?
16:41It's like a horror movie.
16:43And Chelsea knows
16:44how close she came to...
16:45Let's not...
16:46Let's not go there.
16:49The best thing,
16:50the only thing we should do
16:52is follow Chelsea's lead.
16:53She wants space,
16:54give her space.
16:55If she wants company,
16:56then we be there.
16:57But we let her set the pace.
16:59She needs to feel like
17:01she's in control
17:01of her recovery.
17:03Miss Allison,
17:04she says she loves Chelsea,
17:06but love doesn't leave
17:08these kinds of scars.
17:10What Allison did,
17:11that's not love.
17:13That's psychological warfare.
17:19Chelsea taught me this pose.
17:21Model Monday post,
17:21August 15, 2022.
17:24Chelsea got 33,427,000 likes.
17:27And then Chelsea's mom
17:28made headlights
17:29with her mugshot,
17:30and I will too.
17:31Oh, my wife's gonna be
17:33so proud of me.
17:35She's been quoting
17:35Chelsea's social media
17:36like the Bible
17:37ever since the Virginia cops
17:38handed her over.
17:39She's acting like
17:40she's shooting content
17:41for socials instead
17:41of facing a kidnapping charge.
17:44October 4th,
17:45Chelsea's morning motivation.
17:47Never let an opportunity
17:48to show up and show out
17:48go to waste.
17:49She was wearing
17:50that cream casimir sweater
17:51that she got from Nordstrom.
17:53Said it felt like
17:53being hugged by a cloud.
17:55Dry clean only.
17:57Lord, give me strength.
17:59Let's go.
18:05Sit down.
18:08Please,
18:09stop quoting
18:10Chelsea's Instagram archives.
18:12I spent half my night
18:13playing jurisdictional hot potato
18:15just to get you here.
18:16Three different precincts,
18:17two federal agencies,
18:18all went in first crack
18:19at your crazy.
18:20Oh, you could have
18:20saved yourself the headache
18:21and let love win.
18:22The only crime
18:23that is happening here
18:24is keeping two soulmates
18:25separated.
18:26You can't criminalize
18:28true love.
18:28If you really believe that,
18:30then you need to find
18:31a lawyer who lives
18:32in the same alternate universe
18:33as you do.
18:34And you need a therapist.
18:36Several therapists.
18:37I don't need a lawyer.
18:39I need my wife.
18:42I overreacted at the Grands.
18:44That's all.
18:45No, don't do that.
18:46Don't do that toxic positivity BS.
18:50That reaction came straight from here.
18:52And it is valid as hell.
18:54You just escaped
18:56your own personal
18:57get out nightmare.
18:58Yeah, thanks to you guys
18:59moving like the Avengers.
19:01You, Madison, Jacob.
19:04Babe, we don't need credit.
19:06We just need you to be okay.
19:08Whatever timeline you're on.
19:10I should go.
19:12Give you guys the place.
19:15The launch prep sleepover was fun,
19:17but now I just feel like
19:18the awkward friend
19:19in the group chat.
19:20Kat, no, you don't have
19:21to leave on my account.
19:22Just for the rest of the day
19:24and tonight at least.
19:25Then we'll see
19:26what the vibes are, laughter.
19:28You two deserve space.
19:31I am a FaceTime call away.
19:34Always.
19:35I love you.
19:36I love you.
19:47These notifications are wild.
19:49Praying for you, queen.
19:50Stay strong, sis.
19:52And everybody is in my DMs
19:53asking if I'm okay.
19:55The internet is going crazy
19:57about the launch being canceled.
19:59You miss one party
20:00and the Chelsea fam
20:01just loses their minds.
20:03People care about you, Chels.
20:05Yeah, one person cared
20:06a little too much.
20:09I really could have ended her.
20:12Yeah, but you didn't.
20:13You pulled yourself back.
20:15But in that moment,
20:16I've never felt rage like that.
20:19It was pure hatred.
20:23I don't hate anyone, Madison.
20:25That's not me.
20:26That's not my energy.
20:27Yeah, and you realize that
20:29in the moment.
20:30It's why you hesitated.
20:32Under the circumstances,
20:32I would have done the same thing.
20:34Although I want to throttle that woman
20:36for what she did to you.
20:38At least she's locked up now.
20:40Yeah, for now.
20:42No, for a long time to come.
20:44Are you sure about that?
20:46Because I'm not...
20:49I'm not sure about anything anymore.
20:57Look, I know everybody's got a story
20:59about the system failing them.
21:00But this situation?
21:02Chelsea, you're trending.
21:04Your followers even got
21:05hashtag justice for Chelsea
21:07in the top ten.
21:08This isn't getting swept under the rug.
21:10Not with your platform.
21:12These comments, though.
21:14Free Allison,
21:15they can't keep true love apart.
21:16Do people honestly believe
21:17that there are two sides to this?
21:19Give me that.
21:19Don't let these internet trolls
21:21get in your head.
21:22She can't hurt you anymore.
21:24You will never have to get
21:25to that place of rage again.
21:27No, no, no.
21:28I need proof with my own eyes
21:30that Allison is going to pay
21:31for what she did to me.
21:33Chels!
21:34Baby, wait!
21:42Nicole's in there
21:43spitting facts about trauma.
21:46Yeah.
21:48Yeah, we heard.
21:49Every word.
21:51And she's right.
21:53You know,
21:55what that woman did is
21:58it's beyond evil.
22:00And we all should have seen it.
22:02You know, you don't just
22:04easily bounce back
22:05from something like that.
22:06It's not just evil.
22:08It's pathological.
22:10And jail?
22:12No, I want that psychopath
22:14locked in a basement
22:15for the rest of her miserable life.
22:17Let her feel what Chelsea felt,
22:18but worse.
22:19Yeah, but...
22:20I know, I know.
22:21Sounds like I'm flying off
22:22the rails again.
22:23Classic me, right?
22:25Everything goes left
22:26and I go straight for DEFCON 1.
22:28But damn it, Bill.
22:30What did Chelsea do
22:32to deserve this?
22:34she is this beautiful,
22:36radiant spirit
22:37and this...
22:38this cockroach
22:39slithers in,
22:40snatches her up
22:42and tries to hoard
22:43her life for herself.
22:45Okay.
22:47Everything that you're saying
22:48is true.
22:49But remember something.
22:51Our baby girl
22:52could be gone.
22:55So...
22:56yeah,
22:57plot your revenge.
22:58Be angry,
22:59be enraged.
23:01Yeah?
23:02But leave some room
23:03for gratitude.
23:05Yeah?
23:06Gratitude that we get
23:07to have our baby girl
23:08right here with us
23:09to help her heal.
23:12When did you become so wise?
23:16Looks good on you.
23:17Yeah.
23:18Yeah.
23:23Fine.
23:24I will be grateful.
23:28But that woman better pray
23:30she never sees me coming.
23:33Here's my girl.
23:37I should get back in here.
23:38All right.
23:39Yeah.
23:39I'm right behind you.
23:41Oh.
23:42Oh, yeah.
23:46Okay.
23:47What's this about?
23:48Whoever's calling you
23:49can wait.
23:50But right now,
23:51you're gonna tell me
23:52exactly what's happening
23:53between you
23:54and my mother.
23:56Wow.
23:58This is a first.
23:59Please explain to me
24:00because I'm
24:01genuinely confused.
24:03How do you think
24:04I'm
24:05racially discriminating
24:07against you
24:07in a predominantly
24:08black community?
24:11Tell me, Barbie,
24:12what do you see?
24:13Because I see
24:14a gatekeeper.
24:15Yeah.
24:17I see someone
24:17who's been giving me
24:18attitude since
24:19day one.
24:21Someone who's like,
24:23oh,
24:24oh,
24:24these starter homes,
24:26they're just so
24:27perfect for you.
24:31maybe I'm black.
24:34Maybe I'm black.
24:34But maybe I'm not
24:35the right kind of black
24:36for Fairmont Crest.
24:38That is ludicrous.
24:40I have followed
24:41your instructions
24:42to the letter
24:43all the way down
24:44to telling Anita
24:45and Vernon face-to-face
24:46about your offer
24:47for the home
24:48across the street
24:48from them.
24:50You
24:50made this
24:51confrontational
24:52and gave them
24:53the ammunition
24:53to block you,
24:54not me.
24:56Let's keep it real.
24:58You really enjoyed
25:00seeing me get
25:00knocked down,
25:02didn't you,
25:02Miss McBride?
25:04Keeping it real,
25:05Miss Thomas,
25:07your plan
25:08was to weaponize me.
25:10You sought me out
25:11knowing I was
25:12Nicole's friend
25:13and thought it would be
25:13fun to use me
25:15to further humiliate her.
25:16And you've been
25:17a roadblock
25:18to my dreams.
25:19And roadblocks?
25:20Oh, they destroy careers.
25:23Catch my drift.
25:25But that you're
25:25threatening me right now?
25:27Oh, yes.
25:28I'm hearing that
25:29loud and clear.
25:30I'm just keeping
25:31it 100.
25:33So whatever you do
25:34with that information
25:35is completely
25:36your choice.
25:38But remember,
25:40I've got receipts.
25:42So choose wisely,
25:44sis.
25:46You want me
25:47to help your mom
25:48by going up
25:49against Bill Hamilton?
25:50The man who
25:50signs my checks?
25:51Who's supposed
25:52to be grooming me
25:53for partner?
25:54Don't you think
25:55you have the skills?
25:57Look,
25:57I've seen what
25:58you can do.
25:59I bet you'd be
25:59having those
26:00judges shook.
26:01This whole thing
26:02is crazy.
26:03Don't play yourself
26:04so small.
26:05What if you take
26:06on Bill and kill?
26:08Wow, you're really
26:09gassing me up
26:10right now, aren't you?
26:10I'm just saying
26:11you could be
26:12the next Bill Hamilton
26:13if you play
26:14your cards, right?
26:16That's what I'm
26:16working towards
26:17right now.
26:18Mm-mm.
26:19I'm talking about
26:19ahead of schedule.
26:21If you are always
26:22waiting for someone
26:23to give you a seat
26:23at the table,
26:24you could be
26:24waiting forever.
26:27Or...
26:29Or...
26:29I could pull up a chair
26:30myself.
26:31Mm-hmm.
26:37Bill, he's old school.
26:38But you...
26:39You can revolutionize
26:41the whole game.
26:43Well, I'm not
26:44trying to change the game.
26:44I'm trying to beat
26:45the game.
26:46That's what I'm
26:46talking about.
26:49Eva!
26:51You really should
26:52start paying rent
26:52for how much time
26:53you spend with my man.
26:55Hey, baby,
26:55we were just talking.
26:56About what?
26:57Books.
26:58You know how we do.
26:59Hmm.
27:00What book?
27:01Since you're such a scholar.
27:02Rich dad, poor dad.
27:04I'm ready to make
27:05a big investment.
27:06And Tomas was helping
27:07by talking me through it.
27:09Hmm.
27:11Well, I hope
27:12it works out for you.
27:13I know you're tired
27:14of those thrift store fits.
27:17Because Lord knows
27:18the rest of us are.
27:19Mm.
27:20That's cute.
27:22Hmm.
27:22I'll leave you to explain
27:23everything we discussed.
27:25Or don't.
27:27Oh, and I'm really glad
27:30Chelsea is safe.
27:31Mm-hmm.
27:31I bet you're sad
27:32it's not me.
27:34I didn't say all that.
27:36But since you brought it up.
27:42I get it.
27:44You're playing the race card,
27:45or at least
27:46you think you can.
27:48It's not about
27:49what I think.
27:50It's about what
27:51your clients do
27:52when they Google
27:52your name.
27:54See, the internet
27:55is forever, baby.
27:57However,
27:57despite my supposed
27:58failings,
28:00you still haven't
28:01fired me.
28:02Oh, you are right
28:03about one thing.
28:05I do want to keep
28:06Nicole's friend close.
28:08But you're not quitting
28:09because...
28:10Keeping an enemy closer.
28:11Ah.
28:12However, facts
28:13must be faced.
28:14I'm a real estate broker,
28:16not David Copperfield.
28:17I can't make people
28:18who don't want to sell
28:19magically change their minds.
28:21That's not how this works.
28:22See, you're wrong
28:23about that.
28:25Mm.
28:25Okay.
28:27Because
28:27it doesn't matter
28:28if we're talking
28:29the block
28:30or we're talking
28:31these fancy gates.
28:33There's one thing
28:34that motivates folks,
28:36and that is money, honey.
28:39So,
28:40why don't you
28:41get back on that phone
28:42with the Jarvises
28:44and tell them
28:45that I am doubling
28:47my offer.
28:50Say,
28:51Nicole's here.
28:52I saw her call
28:52in the driveway.
29:00Go ahead and get that.
29:01I'm not going anywhere.
29:05What are you doing here?
29:07I hope I'm not intruding.
29:08I saw the cars
29:08in the driveway.
29:09I assume this was
29:10a gathering for Chelsea.
29:11I just wanted to come by
29:12and tell her
29:13how relieved I was
29:14for her.
29:16Yes, we did have
29:16a little something for her,
29:17but she left.
29:19We'll make sure
29:20to pass that along.
29:22We're almost finished here.
29:25You and Vernon
29:26have had a lot
29:26on your plate
29:27these past few days.
29:28I just wanted to
29:28reassure you,
29:29you don't have to worry
29:29about Leslie
29:31moving in across
29:31the street from you
29:32any longer.
29:34Why is that?
29:35I took matters
29:36into my own hands.
29:37I sent her attention
29:38elsewhere.
29:39She agreed
29:39to rescind
29:40her offer.
29:42How resourceful
29:43of you.
29:45Anything for the family.
29:47Are you done, Ted?
29:49I already told you
29:51I didn't fill everyone in
29:52because there was
29:52more important things
29:53going on.
29:54But you needed
29:55the credit,
29:56didn't you?
29:58That's why you just
29:59came here uninvited?
30:00I came for Chelsea
30:02and to relieve
30:03some stress
30:04from Vernon and Anita.
30:05That's all.
30:08Fine.
30:09You did a good deed.
30:11But that doesn't mean
30:13that all is forgiven
30:14and you can waltz
30:14back in here
30:15like the new
30:15favorite son.
30:16Chelsea's my niece too
30:18and my children mean
30:19I'm still a part
30:20of this family.
30:21Well, your children
30:22aren't here
30:22and as for the people
30:24in here
30:25socializing with them
30:26on a whim,
30:27you blew that
30:28and every other
30:29privilege out of the
30:30water when you gave
30:30me good reason
30:31to divorce you.
30:35What she said.
30:38Okay, thanks.
30:43You were saying?
30:45I've been watching
30:46you and mom
30:47since this whole
30:47ordeal with Chelsea
30:48blew up
30:49and I've seen
30:50the way she leans
30:50on you
30:51and I've seen
30:51the way you allow it.
30:53You even encourage it.
30:55Well, our daughter
30:56happened to be in danger.
30:57What do you expect?
30:59I just want to hear you
31:00say that you're not
31:01going to take advantage
31:02of this.
31:03Mom is still vulnerable
31:03to you, especially now.
31:05Do I need to remind you
31:06that I'm married
31:07to someone else?
31:09Haley's absence
31:10does not change
31:11the fact that
31:11I'm her husband.
31:12I'm talking about
31:13mom's feelings
31:14and the way
31:15you make her feel.
31:16Well, then maybe
31:16you should be
31:17talking to her.
31:17Well, I'm talking
31:18to you.
31:19Baby girl, listen.
31:20Hey, I love that
31:22you're so protective
31:23of your mother, okay?
31:24But what you're seeing
31:25is a family
31:26coming together
31:27in crisis.
31:28So don't go
31:30looking for problems
31:31where there aren't any.
31:37Chels, Chels, don't.
31:38I needed to come see you
31:39to be locked up
31:39for myself,
31:40you crazy, psychotic bitch.
31:41Hang on, Chels.
31:42I need to say this.
31:44This is what
31:45your twisted version
31:46of love did to me.
31:48My family,
31:48my own flesh and blood
31:50tried to welcome me
31:51home today
31:51with open arms
31:52and I couldn't even
31:53breathe in that room.
31:54I couldn't bear
31:55to be touched,
31:56not without seeing you
31:57standing over me
31:57with that damn knife.
31:59Okay, Chels,
31:59I think you said enough.
32:00I haven't said
32:01nearly enough.
32:03You are in my head
32:04every second
32:05of every minute
32:06of every hour
32:07making me relive
32:09every disgusting
32:10sick thing
32:11you put me through.
32:12It never meant
32:13to frighten you,
32:13my love.
32:14I thought being with you
32:15was what you wanted.
32:16So you kidnapped me?
32:17I have to remind you,
32:18you have the right
32:19to remain silent.
32:20Why would I ever
32:20want to be silent
32:21about how much
32:22I adore my wife?
32:23I am not your wife.
32:24Of course you are.
32:25We said our vows.
32:27Just tell your brother-in-law
32:28to drop the charges
32:29and we can go back
32:30to our happy life together.
32:36Double the offer
32:37just like that?
32:38You don't want to
32:39put out a feeler
32:40and see what it might
32:40cost to reconsider?
32:42And invite a lot
32:43of back and forth?
32:45No, Miss McBride.
32:46That's not how
32:47I get down.
32:48I want to overwhelm them.
32:51I want them to have
32:52no choice
32:53and most of all,
32:55I want to be able
32:56to open up
32:57my front door
32:58and wave at
33:00my new neighbors
33:01across the street.
33:02Hello, DuPriest.
33:05And then,
33:07I want them to choke
33:09on the fact
33:09that they can't do anything
33:11about me living there.
33:14That's what I want.
33:19it's worth,
33:20in my book,
33:22every comma
33:23on that check.
33:25Okay.
33:27I'll get on the phone.
33:29Good.
33:30But this time,
33:31I'm not going to
33:32send you to deliver
33:33the information
33:34to the Dupree's.
33:36I'd rather give them
33:38the news myself.
33:40Ted,
33:41I'm surprised
33:42to see you here.
33:43So are we.
33:45Well, Mother,
33:46it's your house.
33:48Oh, no, my dear.
33:49Be my guest.
33:51Handle your business.
33:53Please leave.
33:56We don't need
33:57your help here.
34:01What's it going to take
34:03for you to give me
34:04a chance
34:04to make things right?
34:06There's nothing
34:07you can do.
34:11What happened
34:11to I've been a part
34:12of this family
34:13for a long time, huh?
34:15With Chelsea's crisis
34:16fresh and the Leslie
34:18threat handled,
34:19this is when family
34:20sticks together,
34:21all of us.
34:22That means you and me,
34:23Nicole.
34:24For most of our lives,
34:26we were a team.
34:28We were a lie.
34:33Well, I'm still
34:34Martin and Kat's dad.
34:37Are you going to exclude
34:38them for the sins
34:39of their father?
34:40Nope.
34:40Just you.
34:42And the sooner you leave,
34:43the faster we can start.
34:45The whole time
34:46we were searching,
34:47I kept picturing
34:49what she could possibly
34:50be going through.
34:52But the reality
34:53was so much worse
34:55than I imagined.
34:57Yeah, I saw
34:59some of it online.
35:00But a wedding ceremony?
35:03Chains?
35:04It's giving
35:05Jordan Peele vibes.
35:06Yeah, I said
35:06the same thing.
35:08So how's she
35:09holding up?
35:11It's over.
35:12Thank God.
35:14At least that's what
35:14we're trying
35:15to tell ourselves.
35:17She's got you, though.
35:19Sometimes family
35:19is the best medicine.
35:21Yeah.
35:22We're not going to let her
35:23go through this alone.
35:26That woman
35:27may have had
35:27her moment,
35:28but we are not
35:29going to let her
35:30write the end
35:31of Chelsea's story.
35:34Baby, are you alright?
35:36You.
35:37You're disposable.
35:39You were only allowed
35:40around to make me jealous.
35:42What, you really think
35:43you understood her?
35:44Her brand?
35:45You think I don't see
35:47straight through
35:47your whole pick-me vibe?
35:49Excuse you?
35:50Nobody understands
35:51my wife the way I do.
35:52And nobody ever will.
35:54Right, baby?
35:55I don't know
35:56what you're talking
35:57about, you psycho.
35:58Sure you do.
35:59I mean, this couldn't
36:00have gone more perfect
36:01if you'd planned it
36:02yourself.
36:03The influencer's
36:04ultimate viral moment.
36:06And what are your
36:07millions of followers
36:07saying?
36:08Don't lie, I know
36:09you've been checking
36:10your notifications.
36:11All your metrics
36:12must be insane
36:13right now.
36:14And that is all
36:15because of us.
