00:06Oh, Mother, what a pleasant surprise.
00:08Or maybe not.
00:10It's Danny.
00:11I'm so glad you're aware of the situation.
00:13How could I not be?
00:14I just read about Doug McBride's drunk driving accident and my blood ran cold.
00:20The way that he and Danny, two incredibly intelligent, talented people,
00:26became so self-destructive because of alcohol.
00:30But at least Danny was able to correct her most recent error in judgment,
00:34that absurd wedding to Andre.
00:37Actually, she wasn't.
00:39I ran into Andre last night and he told me that he and Danny decided to stay married.
00:44To stay?
00:46No.
00:48Absolutely not.
00:49We have to put an end to this.
00:52I don't even want to think about what kind of wild behavior they're engaging in as we speak.
00:59Congratulations, Chelsea Bear.
01:01I am so proud of you for launching your business, putting it out into the world,
01:05and for how you handled that very difficult situation with Allison with such grace and aplomb.
01:11Call me back when you can, okay?
01:14Kisses.
01:18So, has Chelsea said anything about us getting married?
01:22Not yet.
01:23Though I'm sure she knows, courtesy of the Anita Impersonator's social media post.
01:28So is no news good news?
01:30Unfortunately not.
01:31Chelsea tends to give me the silent treatment when she is peeved about something I've done.
01:38I'm sorry about that.
01:41But it'd be nice if Chelsea and Naomi could be happy for us.
01:44What are you doing?
01:46Did someone tell you to stop?
01:48No.
01:49Then continue cuddling, please.
01:51Unless you're bored.
01:53Are you bored?
01:54Absolutely not.
01:56I like snuggling up with you, like we're an old married couple.
02:00I can get used to this.
02:31I can get used to this.
02:36Bill, I searched for all the documents you asked about.
02:40I was able to dig up Danny's marriage certificate, but I'm afraid...
02:43And why does my husband want his ex-wife's marriage certificate?
02:50Counselor, since when do you play blackjack in the middle of the afternoon?
02:54Well, I'm the hater play games, especially after learning what recently happened to one
02:58of your high rollers.
03:01Doug McBride?
03:02Oh, yes, I heard about his car accident.
03:07It's such a shame.
03:09Is it really?
03:12That's not actually the question you want to ask, is it?
03:16Did you have something to do with Doug's car plunging into that ravine?
03:23So, have you and Derek decided on the big day?
03:27Nowhere near.
03:29We're still adjusting to moving in together, which fortunately is going much better than
03:32the last time.
03:33That's good.
03:35So, have there been any changes in his condition?
03:39Not yet.
03:40But he's managing to keep a positive attitude, which is wonderful, considering he must be
03:45so scared that the paralysis could be permanent.
03:48You know?
03:53Dave, what are you doing here?
03:55I just got done visiting the children's ward with some of my firefighter buddies, decided
03:59to wheel by.
04:00Oh, I'm glad you did.
04:01How'd it go?
04:02It was good.
04:03We passed out toy fire trucks, told stories, the usual.
04:05Well, I'm sure they loved it.
04:07And you.
04:08Just the kids?
04:09Yeah, because you're completely unlovable otherwise.
04:12That's why I'm planning to spend the rest of my life with you.
04:16Good seeing you, Derek.
04:18Shanice, hey.
04:19Hey, if you stick around, I can squeeze in a physical therapy session.
04:23I wouldn't want to inconvenience you.
04:25You won't.
04:26I've got a new routine I'm itching to try out.
04:29Hey, Ashley, I think Mrs. Stone probably needs help with her lunch tray.
04:32I'm on it.
04:36I really don't want to bother you, Shanice.
04:38Cut the crap.
04:39I cannot believe you are still lying to Ashley about not feeling sensation in your legs.
04:43But hopefully by the end of today's session, I'd knock some sense into you.
05:10Nicole, I am sitting here at the country club surrounded by brochures for cemeteries, caskets, flowers.
05:17I don't know where to start.
05:19I keep thinking, what would Doug want, but I don't know.
05:22We figured we had years before we had to consider funerals.
05:26I know, honey.
05:27I'll come join you and we'll go through them together, okay?
05:31In the meantime, you should probably start with a plot.
05:33I suggest Cedar Hill Cemetery. It's close, quiet, and lovely.
05:39Start with Cedar Hill. I can do that.
05:42I'll ask for a plot near some trees.
05:46Doug always liked shade.
05:48My husband deserves the best.
05:52Excuse me, miss. I'm looking for a supervisor.
05:54I'm the nursing supervisor. Can I help you?
05:57I just found out that Dr. McBride's office has already been reassigned.
06:02Donnell McBride?
06:03I didn't know you were back home. Is Deanna back too?
06:07No. My sister's pretty fragile right now.
06:09She decided it'd be better if she stayed in school for now.
06:12I'm Shanice Johnson, and please accept my condolences for your loss.
06:16Your father was a good man.
06:21Came back to visit his office, you know, remember him where he was in his element.
06:27After all of his years of service to this hospital, for them to just turn over his office so suddenly,
06:32I mean...
06:32It wasn't suddenly, Donnell. Your father hasn't worked here for months.
06:37My father never said anything to me about leaving Garland. And we talked all the time.
06:42Where was he working? Did he move to a private practice?
06:46Look, I suggest you talk to your mother about this.
06:49Mom didn't tell me anything about this either.
06:52Were my parents keeping secrets from me?
06:55It's not my place to stay.
07:01Thank you for at least telling me a little bit about what was going on.
07:04You've been more honest with me than my own family.
07:08I'm no lawyer, but I think I've just been libeled.
07:14Slander is the term for making a false oral statement.
07:17And I simply ask the question, accusing me of involvement in Doug's death.
07:24A few days ago, I told you that Doug came to me for help to take you down.
07:28Next thing I know, he winds up in a fatal car accident.
07:31That's one hell of a coincidence.
07:34Someone call it karma.
07:36Doug flew too close to the sun and the universe put the brakes on his ambition.
07:40Sorry for the poor choice of words.
07:44Apparently, Doug's brakes couldn't keep him from flying into that ravine.
07:49That's cold, Joey.
07:50Even for you.
07:52Just being honest.
07:54Which is usually the mark of an innocent man.
07:58Doug McBride was a drunk.
08:00Just ask any of the bartenders here.
08:02Or any at any of the local establishments.
08:06And after yet one more night of drinking himself into oblivion,
08:09he had the poor judgment to get behind the wheel of a car.
08:13It's a plausible argument.
08:15Still pretty damn convenient, though.
08:17I wasn't even in town when it happened.
08:20Oh, I have no doubt that you made sure that you were someplace else
08:23with an extensive digital trail and plenty of witnesses to your whereabouts.
08:27Because that's exactly what a smart person would do to give himself an alibi.
08:37Old married couple indeed.
08:39I think our new marriage is very hot.
08:43Speaking of which, aren't you warm in all these clothes?
08:46Let me help you with those.
08:52Danny, it's the afternoon, for goodness sake.
08:55Mother!
08:56I am sorry to interrupt the honeymoon.
08:59Actually, I'm not.
09:01I am thrilled.
09:03Danny, you and I need to talk.
09:04Alone.
09:05Mother, you do not get to say who comes and goes and stays in my home.
09:11And if you're going to come in here without knocking,
09:13I might have to revoke your house key privileges.
09:15Well, go ahead.
09:16You've been revoking all kinds of things lately.
09:19Like your plan to end this farce of a marriage.
09:30Bill didn't tell me why he wanted Danny's marriage certificate.
09:34Just told me to track down every legal document I could find related to the marriage.
09:38He is obsessed with this woman.
09:41I think that's overstating it.
09:43I try to keep him away from her, but you enable him by getting papers with her name on them.
09:48His interest is purely professional, I'm sure.
09:51Oh yeah, I'm sure.
09:53One of his clients is paying Bill's huge hourly rate to learn about Danny's marriage.
09:59Caroline, something shifted when Chelsea was kidnapped.
10:05I think he might have fallen back in love with Danny.
10:09Bill loves you.
10:13But don't you think it's possible for a man to love two women at the same time?
10:17Sure it is.
10:19But that doesn't mean that's what's going on with Bill.
10:22You really should talk to your husband before jumping to conclusions and driving yourself crazy.
10:31Happy? Now that you've made my new husband feel unwelcome in my home?
10:35I just want to know why that boy is still your husband.
10:38He is very much a man, and I don't owe you an explanation.
10:42You owe me for being on this earth, but right now I'll settle for an explanation.
10:47Or are you refusing to answer me because you'll have to admit that you've made yet another bad decision while
10:51drinking?
10:52Why would you even say that?
10:54Doug McBride died because he was driving while intoxicated.
10:58Yes, I know. And it's very sad. And my heart goes out to Vanessa.
11:02But I don't see what that has to do with my marriage to Andre.
11:05You said you were blackout drunk. Blackout drunk, Danny.
11:12Baby, I think you have a drinking problem.
11:17Anita Dupree just kicked me out of my own wife's house.
11:20Because you went and told her that Danny and I didn't get an annonement.
11:23Was it a secret?
11:25No, but did you have to go and put the worst possible spin on it?
11:28Mother paid me a visit because she's worried about Danny's drinking.
11:32That is when I filled her in that the two of you decided to stay married. No spin.
11:36But why today?
11:38I mean, sure, we were drunk off our asses at the wedding.
11:42As far as I know, Danny hasn't been drinking since we got back.
11:45Doug's drunk driving accident.
11:47It got Mother thinking about the role that alcohol plays in Danny's life.
11:52Yeah.
11:53And frankly, I think that she has reason to be concerned about the both of you.
11:59Can you honestly tell me that you would have married Danny if you were stone cold sober?
12:04The drinks may have made me uninhibited that night, sure.
12:07But honestly, booze is not what sent me and Danny to Vegas.
12:10Then what was it? And don't you even say true love because neither one of you has used those words
12:15to describe this relationship.
12:18Danny and I had both been dealing with some personal stuff.
12:21And she had another argument with Bill and it-
12:23Because it always comes back to Bill where Danny is concerned.
12:27And I can understand Danny deciding that she needed a younger spouse for payback.
12:34Well, what do you get out of this, Andre?
12:37Marriage to an incredible woman.
12:42I heard Ashley got engaged.
12:45Did you marry Danny on the rebound?
12:50Hey, how'd things go with Shanice?
12:53We haven't had our session yet.
12:55You know, she's probably too busy. I'm just gonna leave.
12:57No, no, no, you can't. Please, she was so sweet to offer.
13:00And listen, things have been going so well with us, I feel like we can do anything.
13:04Who knows? Maybe this is the physical therapy session that'll make a breakthrough.
13:10Anything's possible.
13:15So I found out about Ashley's engagement right before Danny and I went to Vegas.
13:20And maybe it hurt.
13:24I'm sorry, honey.
13:26Feeling rejected can lead to anyone making a bad decision.
13:31But fortunately, this can still be fixed. Go back to the original plan of getting an annulment.
13:37Why is your family dead set against our marriage?
13:42If you were willing to accept Danny and me dating, why is our being married such a problem?
13:47Speaking for myself, I tolerated you and Danny having a fling.
13:51Okay. So as long as I was her boy toy, that was okay with you?
13:56It was...concerning.
13:59But a short-term relationship comes with a lot less problems than a marriage.
14:03Yeah, I can't see that.
14:06Let's start with the age gap for one.
14:08I'm assuming that someday you're gonna want to have kids? That is not gonna happen with Danny.
14:13So I should break up with her because of kids that I might eventually want someday.
14:17Okay. Anything else?
14:19The fact that she is still madly in love with Bill?
14:24Don't you want to be more than somebody's second choice?
14:27How is that a healthy dynamic?
14:30Auntie, maybe the dynamic you're really concerned about here is the one between you and Danny.
14:35Andre, you are sadly mistaken if you think you're gonna come between me and my sister.
14:40No, no. I'm talking about your position as the stable, respectable sister. In contrast to Danny, who's the hot mess.
14:47Because you think that this drunken marriage makes her look stable. Please.
14:52If she's in a happy marriage and you're going through a painful divorce, yeah, it flips the script.
14:58That is absurd.
14:59I don't think so. And as much as I love you, I'm not gonna get an annulment just to make
15:04you happy.
15:05This is not about my happiness. Tell me, would you be happy with Danny if you found out Ashley all
15:12of a sudden became single?
15:14That is a pointless hypothetical that I won't dignify with an answer.
15:19Mother, you are completely off base thinking that I have a drinking problem.
15:24Andre and I were having fun and doing what millions of people do in Vegas.
15:28Getting so drunk that you could barely remember what you did isn't healthy, baby.
15:34Now, I was all for you finding someone to make you happy, but right now I can't help but wonder
15:38if Andre is a bad influence on you.
15:40You couldn't be more wrong.
15:43I actually was drinking more than I should have been a couple months ago.
15:47And it was Andre who called me out and convinced me to cut back.
15:53Frankly, he knew more about what was going on with me than anyone in the family.
15:57Well, why wouldn't you tell us that you were having this kind of trouble?
16:01Because I wasn't. Not really. Thanks to Andre.
16:06Baby, I saw those wedding photos. And he was every bit as drunk as you were.
16:11We didn't drive. We used a pilot and a rideshare to get to that wedding chapel and back again safely.
16:16And what about all the drinking that led up to this spontaneous trip to Vegas?
16:20I heard you'd been drinking at the club for hours.
16:23Yes. We had some drinks. But that's not why we got married.
16:28The truth is, I was under the influence of something far more addictive than liquor.
16:37Bill Hamilton.
16:39You know, Counselor, sometimes an alibi means the guy didn't do it.
16:44Hmm. Relatively few times in my experience as a criminal defense lawyer.
16:49The timing of my trip just happened to coincide with the accident.
16:53Yeah, yeah, but it's just not like you to let a threat against you go unanswered, Joey.
16:58Oh, I thought about taking action, but then I realized that Doug wasn't really capable of doing me any harm.
17:05I mean, look, the poor guy was so inept. He didn't know that by going to you, you would just
17:10turn around and go to me.
17:12Well, I'm grateful that he didn't realize that.
17:15Yeah, well, him going to anyone to muscle me was a dumb move, and he should have known that.
17:23Plus, any move he was going to make against me would only hurt Vanessa.
17:26And now that he's gone, you have no obstacles in the pursuit of his wife.
17:31Doug couldn't be an obstacle in his wildest dreams.
17:36I have no reason to hurt the man.
17:39So you can rest easy, counselor.
17:42By coming to me and giving me a heads up, you didn't sign his death warrant.
17:50We'll probably need ballroom A for the repass with the option to spill over into B.
17:56My husband was well known and respected.
17:58Yes, ma'am.
18:00We'll discuss the menu later.
18:02Yes, Mrs. Bright. And again, you have my deepest condolences.
18:07Donnell, sweetheart, what are you doing here?
18:12Jane told me you were here.
18:13I meant what brought you back home.
18:16After I saw you and Deanna, I thought...
18:18I took a leave of absence from school.
18:20Why?
18:22I was clear with both you and your sister that I didn't want you to disrupt your lives.
18:27There's no way I could focus on classes right now.
18:30And here, maybe it'll help me believe Dad's really gone.
18:35And help you too.
18:38That's so sweet of you.
18:40But I'm doing fine.
18:42And I'm concerned about Deanna being at Banneker alone.
18:46She's not alone, Mom.
18:48She's got her sores around her all the time and regular sessions with her therapist.
18:52But now, I'm starting to wonder if the real reason you didn't want me and Deanna to come to the
18:57funeral
18:58was because you didn't want us to know the truth.
19:00What do you mean?
19:02Dad.
19:05I was honest with you about how he died.
19:08No, I just came from the hospital.
19:10They told me he quit his job there months ago.
19:13How come nobody told me?
19:16Your father and I wanted to protect you and your sister.
19:21From what?
19:24If you don't level with me about what was going on,
19:27I'll find somebody else who will.
19:30Your father was having some personal struggles
19:34that were impacting his job performance.
19:37In the interest of patient care and his own well-being, he resigned.
19:42Job performance?
19:44Patient care?
19:46Come on, Mom.
19:48I'm not a little kid anymore.
19:50Whatever the truth is, just tell me.
19:58Your father had started gambling heavily.
20:04It got out of control.
20:06For how long?
20:08I mean, why did you get him some help?
20:13I didn't realize how far gone he was until it was too late.
20:21You should have told me.
20:25Maybe I could have tried to find a way to get through to him.
20:30You should have tried to find a way to get through to him.
20:30Dad might still be a lie.
20:50Before I start,
20:53I need you to level with me about how much progress you've actually made.
20:57So are you running marathons?
20:58I swear to you nothing has changed.
21:01I have twinges of feeling back and part of my legs, but I still can't walk.
21:08Relax. This is for your own good.
21:12Guilt causes stress, you know?
21:15And stress won't help you with your recovery.
21:18Assuming you even feel guilty for lying to the woman you say you love
21:22and you're not a full-blown sociopath.
21:23It's hard keeping the secret from Ashley, but I'm hoping to surprise her by walking at the wedding.
21:31So just how is this supposed to work?
21:33She comes walking down the aisle towards you and you leap out of your wheelchair yelling,
21:38praise Jesus, I can walk like one of those con artists who works with a bogus faith healer?
21:44You're deliberately putting a negative spin on all this.
21:46Because there's nothing positive about faking a phony miracle at your own wedding.
21:51I want the occasion to be memorable and special for Ashley.
21:55You can do that by sparging on a good DJ in a chocolate fountain.
22:00Derek, it is clear to me that you are keeping this secret,
22:04because you're afraid that Ashley might leave you for Andre if she feels like you don't need her.
22:08And what I don't get is why are you so insecure now that Andre's married to Danny?
22:13Andre's married?
22:17I want an explanation.
22:21Caroline, is this all you can find?
22:22No, a nomad or divorce papers?
22:24No.
22:25Hey, I am waiting.
22:28In a moment, sweetheart.
22:31Any chance the officiant forgot to sign or file something, anything?
22:34No, the marriage is legal.
22:37Dammit.
22:38Good, and I hope they live happily ever after.
22:43I don't suppose they were smart enough to draft a prenup.
22:47In all my years working here, I've never known of an impulsive Vegas wedding with a prenup.
22:53Yeah, that's true.
22:55All right, all right, thanks. We'll continue this later.
23:05You have one last chance to explain to me why you give a damn about Danny's marriage before you have
23:11two exes instead of just one.
23:16Haley, I asked Caroline to look into Danny's marriage because of the financial ramifications, okay?
23:22Danny is a wealthy woman, and one day my daughters, they should inherit her estate.
23:27But now this, this dilettante, this player has claims to it all.
23:33Andre inherited his own fortune when his parents died, so he doesn't need Danny's money.
23:38You just can't stand the fact that Danny remarried.
23:41I think you liked knowing your ex was still pining for you and that door was still open.
23:45Yeah, well, you couldn't be more right.
23:46And that's why you had Caroline looking everywhere to see if there was a reason that this marriage is invalid.
23:52You know, actually, I would have asked Danny all this myself, but I didn't want to upset my wife.
23:56Uh-huh.
23:56So I decided I better find out without going anywhere near Danny, since you did ask me to stay far
24:00away from her.
24:02Talk about following the letter rather than the spirit of the law.
24:07Well, my spirit is pretty steam right now.
24:16Now, just how did Bill have anything to do with this disastrous marriage?
24:21The night Andre and I flew to Vegas, I was supposed to have dinner with Bill, Naomi, and Chelsea.
24:27Nothing romantic, just us and the girls.
24:30And let me guess, he canceled on you.
24:32Honey, it was just dinner.
24:34No, it wasn't.
24:35Haley got her panties in such a bundle that she ordered Bill to tell me that we needed space from
24:41each other forever.
24:42Well, Haley might be right for once.
24:44You and Bill do bring out the worst in each other.
24:47When things are bad, but when I have that man's heart, it is the ultimate high.
24:52You know how happy I was for so many years.
24:56I think I remember those years a little more clearly than you do.
25:01Look, I'm not claiming that it was ever a perfect relationship.
25:06But the point is that this time, the hurt and disappointment led me straight to that wedding chapel.
25:12If I hadn't been focused on Andre, I might have attacked Bill again.
25:16He's the addiction.
25:17Then you need to figure out a 12-step program to stop Bill from having power over you.
25:22Lord grant me the power to accept the bill I cannot change?
25:25Exactly!
25:27You need to come to terms with a life without Bill.
25:30Your obsession with this man led you to fire a gun at his wedding,
25:34and now you've run off and married your sister's nephew of all people.
25:37Where does it end?
25:38I don't know!
25:40I wish to God I did!
25:47Sweetheart, I am sure Doug thought he would get home safely
25:52when he decided to get behind the wheel of that car.
25:56What if something similar happens with you?
25:59Would you accidentally kill Bill the next time you go after him?
26:04Or somehow cause harm to yourself?
26:11The thought of you in prison, or worse,
26:15that would destroy me.
26:18No one's going to prison or worse, Mom.
26:20You don't know that.
26:23Now you need to find a way to get over Bill once and for all.
26:28Before it costs you everything.
26:38Car tables are open for another hour.
26:39Oh no, I'm just looking for information.
26:41Well, you're looking in the wrong place.
26:43This ain't no internet.
26:46Does the name Doug McBride ring any bells?
26:48And who the hell wants...
26:51My God, Donnell.
26:54Boy, I haven't seen you since you were a kid.
26:57Randy, Randy Parker.
26:59Me and your father, we go way back.
27:01Remember he used to bring you along to the park when we used to hoop?
27:04Yeah.
27:05Yeah, I remember that.
27:07Wasn't there some type of, um, summer tournament?
27:09Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
27:10Every summer, man.
27:11I remember your dad used to palm your little bean head and act like he was a ball and he
27:14was gonna dunk you.
27:15Yeah, and you used to give me money for the ice cream man.
27:17Oh, you and them damn creamsicles.
27:20So, uh, you and my dad, y'all, y'all just stopped hanging out, or?
27:25Oh, no, no, man.
27:26It wasn't nothing like that.
27:27You know, I didn't really fit in with the country club vibe.
27:30And as your mom and dad started rising up the food chain,
27:33you know, two of us just mostly hung out here.
27:36Yeah.
27:37So my dad, he used to come to the casino just to visit you?
27:41Well, I mean, that doesn't really matter now, right?
27:46Look, man, I'm just trying to figure out what happened, all right?
27:49Someone told me he used to gamble a lot.
27:53Have a seat, kid.
27:55Go ahead, get down.
28:02Look, Donnie, I'm not gonna lie to you, all right?
28:05Your dad was a regular here at the poker table, all right?
28:08He even sat in that very chair.
28:09Was he here the night he died?
28:13Your father, for most of his life, was a stand-up guy.
28:18And I know that's the way he wants you to remember him.
28:20I'm gonna take that as a yes.
28:22This is where my dad was drinking right before the accident.
28:28I can't believe Ashley didn't tell you Danny and Andre are married.
28:31He came by the hospital, shared the news the other day.
28:34Maybe it's too difficult for her to talk about, because she's still hung up on the guy.
28:40More like she knows that Andre is a sore spot for you and she didn't want to mention his name.
28:45The important thing is, Andre is not worried about Ashley, so he is the least of your worries.
28:51Ashley did tell me she had a feeling I'd have a breakthrough today.
28:55That's perfect.
28:56Now you can do your big reveal and have an honest relationship.
28:59Now go ahead and order that chocolate fountain.
29:02You have a point.
29:04This could be the right moment to tell her the truth.
29:10Oh.
29:10Excuse me.
29:12Hey.
29:15Um, hey, for what it's worth, um, I decided to take your advice.
29:18Yeah, me and Danny decided to stay married.
29:21Oh.
29:23Well, I hope you're as happy as I am with my, how did you put it, safe comfort zone engagement.
29:28Yeah, I shouldn't have said that. I'm sorry.
29:32Don't be.
29:33Derek and I are deliriously happy, and I hope you and Danny are too.
29:39Yeah.
29:40We are happy, yeah.
29:43Good.
29:44Well, I guess you're adjusting to living together just like we are.
29:47Although Danny's house is huge. Her closet is the size of my whole apartment.
29:52Uh, no, we, we haven't worked out those living arrangements yet. I'm still at my old place.
29:58Huh.
29:59Well, never works for you, I guess.
30:01Yeah.
30:02Oh, my God.
30:03It just hit me.
30:05What?
30:06You are Naomi's stepfather now.
30:09How's that going for you?
30:10Yeah.
30:11We haven't discussed that situation with either of Danny's daughters.
30:14Okay, but what is it like when you're all together?
30:18Well, we haven't really seen them since we got married.
30:21Okay, so you haven't moved in, and you're not blending with her family.
30:28Yeah.
30:30Doesn't seem like much of a marriage to me.
30:42We need to talk.
30:43Yeah, perfect timing.
30:44I can get your marriage and old within 24 hours. I'll even do a pro bono.
30:49No, thank you.
30:50Why do you have a copy of my marriage certificate?
30:53Well, I just wanted more verification than that idiotic wedding selfie.
30:57My marriage is very real.
30:58Oh yeah, then why are you here?
31:00Instead of with your nearly incestuous underaged groom.
31:05Because my spidey senses tingle whenever you're thinking about me, which obviously you are,
31:11this connection between us is threatening to wreck both of our marriages.
31:16So I think we better figure out how to sever it once and for all.
31:24I don't know what's worse, Danny insisting on staying married to Andre,
31:28or the fact that the reason she ran off to Vegas in the first place is because she can't get
31:31over Bill.
31:33Andre's reasons for this marriage are pretty dysfunctional as well.
31:36They're not going to be happy in this marriage, but neither one of them is willing to admit it.
31:46Vanessa, you have my deepest condolences.
31:50Thank you, Anita.
31:52Sorry I took so long, but I brought Mother along to help.
31:56Anita Dupree is an expert when it comes to planning events like this.
31:59I will gratefully take all the help I can get.
32:02How's the planning going?
32:03I was arranging for the repast when Donnell showed up.
32:07He took some time off from school because he's having trouble processing Doug's death,
32:11and I've only added to it.
32:13Don't say that. Donnell's suffering because his father died, not because of anything that you did.
32:19You're wrong there. I failed my children.
32:23No. No, you didn't.
32:27Vanessa, every mother has been in your shoes, including myself.
32:32You just have to trust that your love and support will heal your son.
32:38I appreciate the sentiment, but I can't help but feel that I've hurt my family beyond repair.
32:50Randy, go to the cash cage, make sure everything's ready. We have a whale coming in tonight.
32:56Will do. We'll sell you out.
33:00I'll find my way. Thanks, Randy.
33:04Yeah.
33:09You're the guy who owns this place?
33:11That would be me.
33:13Then you're the one who's responsible for my father's death.
33:18It wasn't that long ago that you said having your own place was the secret to a happy relationship.
33:24Yeah, Danny and I's marriage may be a little unconventional, but it doesn't mean that it's not real.
33:32Well, I'm glad.
33:35Look, I just want you to be happy.
33:38Wow. How crazy is it that you are one of the few people who are supportive of my marriage?
33:45Well, you being married is better for all of us. It means that you're really unavailable.
33:49I know. What?
33:56Hey, um, I have to go talk to my Uncle Ted.
34:00Mm-hmm.
34:01Yeah.
34:08Hey.
34:10How'd your physical therapy session go?
34:13No breakthrough. Sorry. Everything's the same as before.
34:20I couldn't agree more. We need to put an end to this, I don't know, whatever this thing is that
34:26started between us when Chelsea disappeared. You know, just the sight of paperwork with your name
34:30on it is triggering for Haley. Oh, poor widow. Howie, where are we? Clearly, I made the better
34:36decision in my second marriage. Andre is secure enough in our relationship that it doesn't faze him
34:41when I mention my ex. Okay, well, rather than engaging in any more Haley bashing, why don't
34:46we just focus on resolving our current situation? How about that? What do you suggest? I don't know,
34:51boundaries. Clearly, I'm no good at those, so I was relying on your usual annoyingly brilliant self.
34:59Okay. Um, well, we can hurl insults at each other. Piss each other off so much that we'd be happy
35:06to
35:06never see each other again. Easy enough. You first. Okay. Danny, you are a walking, talking, toxic storm.
35:17Bill, you are a heartless, manipulative bastard. And you are...
35:25You are incredibly beautiful.
35:50You are incredibly beautiful.
35:53Well, how cute.
36:22I know.arez
