00:09Is that the look of shame?
00:13I shouldn't have done that.
00:15But you did.
00:17I know what that kiss was.
00:19Oh, here we go.
00:21Please, don't hold back, Danny.
00:23Please, expound on the meaning of the kiss.
00:26Standard macho ownership.
00:28What was yours, stays yours.
00:31I didn't hear any objections.
00:33Old habits.
00:35But I'm changing those with the assistance of my new husband.
00:39And we are having the most wonderful time doing it.
00:44What's up, Celine?
00:47On your way to another late night out at a Paris soiree?
00:54You what now?
00:57Yeah, send the link.
01:16Wow.
01:18Yeah, that happened.
01:20I guess the Dupree's superpowers of persuasion got lost in translation.
01:25Uh, yeah.
01:25We decided to go public.
01:27International.
01:29Despite their efforts to keep things quiet.
01:34Oh, no, no.
01:34You're heading out.
01:35It's okay.
01:35I don't want to keep you.
01:39Au revoir.
01:50I was hoping the rumors were a fever dream.
01:53But here you are.
01:56Still.
02:00Hello to you too, Naomi.
02:02Your mom's not here, but...
02:03Good.
02:04Then there won't be any witnesses to see what's about to happen.
02:07Go.
02:32You're welcome.
02:37All right.
02:39I'm not sure how I can help Jacob.
02:41Like I said, Doug left his position here a while ago.
02:44Tell me more about that.
02:47Doug, simple resignation of his own volition.
02:50Top cardiac surgeon just steps down from a position he's held for years?
02:54Yeah, I'm not privy to the official story.
02:56I just know...
02:57Look, you were more than just a colleague, Ted.
02:59You and Doug were lifetime friends.
03:02Yeah, since med school.
03:04Look, I just want to do right by him.
03:06I don't know what happened at the end.
03:08Hell, I don't even know if you two are even still tight anymore.
03:11I'm just looking for answers.
03:13Doug's not here to defend himself.
03:15I don't want to speak out of turn.
03:16What you tell me will stay between us.
03:19I just need to understand how it all happened.
03:22Like I said, it was a DUI.
03:24You're saying there's more to it?
03:26There's nothing to indicate, Dad, at this present time.
03:31Interesting choice of words.
03:35Joey Armstrong.
03:38Danelle McBride.
03:41Doug's son, of course.
03:43Oh, what a difficult time to lose your father in such an unexpected and devastating way.
03:49I can't imagine what you're going through.
03:52But you believe that I'm responsible for your father's death.
03:55Exactly how?
03:56Well, I'm lying.
03:57I said my father's blood alcohol was twice the legal limit.
04:00At a level like that, someone had to have noticed how out of it he was.
04:04Staggering.
04:06Slurring.
04:08But someone kept serving my father and didn't take any responsibility.
04:11Well, just a minute.
04:13You're the owner of this place.
04:15Your employer was reckless and over-served my father.
04:18My family's filing a wrongful death suit against you, the bartender, and the whole casino.
04:23And we're not stopping until we shut you guys down.
04:32It's nothing official.
04:33Wife of the victim is asking questions, and I don't want to put anything to bed until I've done my
04:37due diligence.
04:38Nothing more.
04:41So, Doug left his position here?
04:44Well, he wasn't fired, but there had been some incidents, erratic behavior.
04:49But to be clear, no patients were harmed.
04:52Was he drinking on the job?
04:54I never saw any signs of that.
04:56Surgeons are under an inordinate amount of pressure.
04:59Lives on the line.
05:00I get it.
05:01Every second.
05:02Was there trouble at home?
05:04Not that he mentioned to me.
05:07Interesting choice of words.
05:12They had an unusual marriage.
05:14Uh, unusually open.
05:19Nurse Tina, dial 387.
05:30Vanessa.
05:31Oh, my heart's been breaking since I heard.
05:34Mine too.
05:35He was such a good man.
05:36And the way he loved you and the kids.
05:38Thank you for the text.
05:39I meant every word.
05:41He meant so much to all of us and gave surgeons a good name.
05:44How are you holding up?
05:46Not.
05:48I keep waiting for someone to tell me.
05:54Planning a service for him, it just, it doesn't feel real.
05:59I'm sorry, Shanice.
06:01I've become one of those horrible people who overshares.
06:04You're a widow now.
06:05If you need a hand to hold at the service.
06:08Actually, I know it's last minute, but if you could say a few words.
06:12I'd be glad to.
06:14Truly honored.
06:15I'm actually surprised you asked after I ran my big old mouth the way I did.
06:19What do you mean?
06:20I was just telling Donnell's father wasn't working here anymore.
06:24Doug and I should have told the twins long ago, but he wanted to explain the situation
06:30to Donnell and Deanna the next time they both came home.
06:32And I was hoping he would get bored with early retirement and go back to work and wouldn't
06:37have to bring it up.
06:38I hope Donnell wasn't too upset.
06:41But there's so much I don't know how to explain to my son.
06:45You're supposed to have policies put in place where you cut people off.
06:48We do.
06:49You just didn't force them?
06:52If I had been on the floor that night, things would have turned out differently.
06:56I've had a strong conversation with my staff and we're changing protocols across the board.
07:02But someone should have arranged for a car to take your father home.
07:07So what do you plan on staying on the stand?
07:10Well, if there was such a thing as legal liability in this state for bartenders who
07:15over-serve their customers.
07:17But there is no such law.
07:19That you're aware of.
07:20No, you should talk to a lawyer.
07:22That's a fact.
07:23So no one pays for what happened to my father?
07:26He was intoxicated and alone.
07:29And no one helped him.
07:32Sometimes when there's no legal road to closure, justice can be found off the beaten path.
07:40Which means?
07:42That dumb son of a bitch bartender.
07:44The one who served Dr. McBride.
07:47I can have him here in five minutes.
07:51To do what?
07:52Well, that's up to you.
07:54You were his son.
07:55And you won't ever see him again thanks to that dumb bartender.
08:01I'll get him here.
08:03Just to talk.
08:13I don't like that smile.
08:14I'm just enjoying this so very much.
08:18Oh, the kiss?
08:19How crazy it's making you that I am with someone who's better for me in every possible way.
08:26Well, maybe a picture-taking playboy is better than nothing.
08:29But he's light years away from better for you.
08:31You know, the light from better won't even touch that man until he reaches his full height.
08:35And Danny, he doesn't even know you, okay?
08:37He can't possibly know you.
08:38And then for him to lure you away while our daughter was in the middle of a crisis?
08:42The night I went to Vegas, we were both supposed to have dinner with Chelsea.
08:46You told me that we were spending too much time together, so I backed off.
08:49That was your doing, Bill.
08:52And that's why you eloped?
08:53To get back at me to prove a point?
08:56No, no, please.
08:57Don't stop there.
08:57I'm just dying to hear how me marrying someone who loves me is all about you.
09:04I thought you'd never ask.
09:11You're absolutely right.
09:13The whole wedding was my bright idea.
09:15In reaction to Ashley's engagement.
09:17Ashley is in...
09:18You wanted to show her that you never needed her, right?
09:21Never even crossed my mind.
09:24I know there was something going on between you two.
09:27For a minute.
09:28But then she got cold feet and went back to the firemen.
09:31Got engaged.
09:32Yeah, that must have been a big blow to your ego.
09:34I wished her nothing but the best.
09:37And what's best is Derek.
09:40Are you asking my opinion or giving it to me?
09:43I think that's Ashley's decision to make.
09:45How I feel about the matter shouldn't matter.
09:47Exactly.
09:48Agreed.
09:49Yeah.
09:49You were on the rebound.
09:50Wait a minute.
09:51And when you felt like you lost, you went to the next best thing.
09:54Danny Dupree Hamilton Richardson isn't anybody's second option.
09:57She's the main character.
09:59Number one, no equal.
10:00Well, of course I concur.
10:02My mother's a wonderful woman.
10:03No one liked her.
10:04And for a long time, she wasn't feeling the whole return back to a long-term commitment thing.
10:09So what changed?
10:11I don't know.
10:12I'm having too much fun to dissect it.
10:15Listen, I know how it must look like looking from the outside in.
10:18Okay, Ashley is my best friend.
10:20And your wife is my mother.
10:23Haley was my best friend and her husband is my father.
10:25Are you seeing the parallels here?
10:27Is my relationship with my mother about to explode or do I need to find a new best friend?
10:31You need to tell her about Ashley.
10:33Danny already knows.
10:35She knows about you and Ashley and this unrequited, insane waste of time?
10:40Well, I wouldn't categorize it like that, but yeah, Danny knows it all.
10:44Including the part about it being over.
10:46I have nothing to hide, Naomi.
10:48I'm not your dad.
10:50And Danny's been real clear about why that is a plus.
10:53You sure I can't offer you anything?
10:55No, no, please dive in.
10:56I can tell from all your preening, posturing, and parading that you've been preparing for this moment.
11:01Why would you ever imagine such a thing?
11:03Because I know you.
11:05Well, I know you too.
11:07Danny, Dupree, Hamilton, whatever.
11:10And we both know this well-groomed homunculus isn't worthy of a fully actualized creation such as yourself.
11:15Careful, that's my husband.
11:17What's that saying?
11:18Beware the man who will cut you off at the knees so he appears to be king.
11:21Come on, please.
11:23I've been head and shoulders above the crowd since I could walk.
11:26Let's talk about what the real problem is.
11:29You flew out to Vegas as an emotional reaction to the things I said to you that day.
11:33My marriage has absolutely nothing to do with you.
11:35Danny, would it kill you to be quiet long enough for me to apologize?
11:39I'd have to give you the Heimlich to keep you from choking on the words.
11:43Apologize for what?
11:45For being too...
11:46No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no.
11:47You have to start at the beginning.
11:48Dearest Danny, I humbly beg your forgiveness.
11:51Yeah, that's the in-your-dreams version, okay?
11:55Look, here's the real deal.
11:58I'm sorry for being so harsh with you.
12:02I see the error of my ways.
12:05You know, when Chelsea was gone, it was us against the world.
12:08You know, you and me.
12:09Had everybody ready to step up and help, but...
12:14All I wanted was you.
12:17And you were the only one who understood.
12:18The only one who could speak for us when my words fell flat.
12:23My own secret superpower in the storm.
12:28And you're mine.
12:31Were.
12:36I finally felt like I could trust you.
12:39Let you see me at my...
12:42Less than best.
12:45And then you shut me out?
12:47Knife to my heart.
12:51Sticks and stones, yeah, they're dangerous, but words, Bill?
12:54I didn't want any misunderstandings.
12:57I still love my wife.
12:58I had to make that clear.
12:59Because your wife told you to.
13:04I could have been kinder.
13:07But maybe then you wouldn't have spun out of control and grabbed that child to help you make things stop.
13:12Look.
13:13You were searching for stability, and you failed.
13:16It happens.
13:17Yeah.
13:19Andre's young.
13:20In all the most wonderful toe-curling ways.
13:23But make no mistake, he is every inch a man.
13:27Ah, here we go.
13:28The diatribe of how illuminating the sex has been.
13:31You know, it's a good thing I didn't know what I was missing when we were married.
13:36You never gave me what I deserved.
13:39And when you get less, you start to take less.
13:43And think you're worth less.
13:45Save it for your memoir.
13:46Andre has shown me that I have boundless appetites.
13:50Worlds within me that I never knew existed.
13:54That you never bothered to explore.
13:57Yeah, your girl likes a bit of adventure.
13:59And I have never felt this impulsive and fearless.
14:04Not since I was Danny Dupree.
14:07I missed her.
14:09I like her.
14:10I like her, too.
14:12You don't know this version.
14:13This version has claws because of you.
14:18Andre doesn't mind.
14:20We work around them.
14:29Well, he might know you now.
14:33But I loved you then.
14:35And I understand you still.
14:37And why are you so threatened?
14:39I'm not.
14:41Because nothing will ever replace us, Danny.
14:45I mean, you've been with someone who knows you.
14:48Who helped build your walls.
14:49And remembers all those untapped universes deep inside you.
14:53All those dreams just waiting to come true.
14:56Do not.
14:59Do not do this.
15:03I became invisible to you years ago.
15:08So, why wouldn't I want what Andre is offering me?
15:12Freedom to be myself?
15:15To be fully seen?
15:17To be loved?
15:21Why wouldn't I want a lifetime of that?
15:30Vanessa.
15:34How are you?
15:36Hanging in?
15:38Donnell came home sooner than expected.
15:41And Dr. McBride would be happy you have each other leave on.
15:44I haven't seen Dan now in a long time.
15:46Yeah, you'll have a chance to catch up with him after the memorial.
15:50He's taking some time off from school.
15:53May I take you to my office?
15:57Sure.
16:04Well, I've got you, Shanice.
16:06I was wondering, did Dr. McBride ever talk about his personal life much?
16:12He raved about the twins.
16:14Tennis at the club.
16:15Vacations.
16:16But not much else.
16:18Okay.
16:19I also wanted to check in about Derek.
16:21My patient?
16:23Now you know I can't discuss his care.
16:25Ah.
16:26Probably why he felt safe letting you know he's getting feeling back in his legs.
16:31Huh.
16:33And you didn't have to say a word.
16:37Two weeks from now.
16:38No.
16:39Two years.
16:40Ashley becomes available.
16:42Why?
16:44Hypothetical.
16:45Hmm.
16:46What's the hypothetical reason Derek's disappeared?
16:48Because here's the thing.
16:50It'd take an act from God for her to leave that dude.
16:53You asked?
16:54A guy knows.
16:56But what if...
16:58I'm not going to break Danny's heart, okay?
17:01It's never happening.
17:03Despite your international man of mystery reputation?
17:07Because Danny's never let me get in that far to begin with.
17:11And that's not to say that we don't understand each other.
17:14But here's the thing that sets Danny apart.
17:16She's good with or without a man.
17:18Okay, then why would she elope?
17:20Look, looking at it from the outside in, I know that it might seem reckless.
17:25But trust me, emotionally Danny is guarded and she's careful.
17:30She still is your mom, Naomi.
17:32You and Chelsea.
17:33You guys are still number one.
17:35Well, obviously you rank high enough for my mom to be less than cautious with her feelings.
17:42I'm not the one you should be worried about, Naomi.
17:44Your dad?
17:45He walks his in and out of her life like he still owns the place.
17:49That's who you need to be worried about.
17:53Look, I do not begrudge you the happiness that you've managed to find with your seat filler.
17:58You did not.
17:59Come on, Danny.
18:00I got a protective streak a mile long.
18:01You used to love that about me.
18:02I have the same streak and I know how to use my words.
18:05You just can't hear the truth when it comes to wife number two.
18:08Your truth.
18:10Heard it.
18:11Ignoring it.
18:11You might want to rethink that.
18:13Seriously, I was always open to adopting another child.
18:16You didn't have to marry one.
18:20Jealousy by name is first wife.
18:21She's got nothing I need to envy.
18:23Wore the ring.
18:24Had the children.
18:25Gave you the ride of your life before she was in her training bra.
18:28There is absolutely nothing in the world that woman could do that I haven't already done better.
18:33Damn.
18:34I'm not finished.
18:36I had your back after the stroke and nothing's changed.
18:39I am still speaking the truth.
18:42That woman played us, Bill.
18:44You, me, and Naomi.
18:46You may have a blind spot for her, but that doesn't mean I have to close my eyes.
18:50Look, okay.
18:51Haley is young.
18:52It might be a little insecure.
18:53Or is she pretending to be because she knows how protective you are?
18:57How far you'll go to make her happy?
18:59Don't be fooled, Bill.
19:01She's weaponizing that sweetness.
19:04You're reading her wrong.
19:06You've seen it.
19:08You've clocked it.
19:10She has this fascinating way of being so junior and uncultured while being so fantastically busy.
19:17She's like this beautiful black swan just gliding on the surface, so serene and distracting.
19:23But what you don't see right under the surface?
19:25Those little flippers paddling so fast, working so hard, doing the most to make it seem like
19:32she is doing nothing at all.
19:35You really are threatened by her, aren't you?
19:37I should be happy.
19:39I have a front row seat and popcorn, watching DC's own puppet master, blinded by love.
19:47But all it does is break my heart.
19:53You wanted to speak to the man who last served your father alcohol?
19:58There he is.
20:01You're the bartender?
20:05I'm a dealer.
20:07Say that again so we know we heard you right.
20:10You over-served my father when you should have turned away.
20:12What the hell were you thinking?
20:13I didn't think he was that drunk.
20:14What the?
20:14What is it?
20:15What's wrong?
20:19It's my father's watch.
20:34It's my father's watch.
20:36You're sure about that?
20:37I know it anywhere.
20:38He never took it off.
20:41You got something to say?
20:43The watch?
20:45What about it?
20:48It's mine.
20:50Well, then you wouldn't mind taking it off so we can be sure.
21:04I love V.
21:06My mother gave this to my father.
21:12Well, I'm sure there's a logical explanation.
21:15What, you got answers?
21:17How'd you get the watch?
21:18I didn't steal it.
21:21The guy lost it in a poker game.
21:22What was I supposed to do?
21:25Have some compassion.
21:27For starters, this is a casino, not a slaughterhouse.
21:30The man was our guest.
21:31What happened to him was a tragedy.
21:33Look, I'm sorry it happened.
21:35But fair is fair.
21:39You're fired.
21:42There's the door.
21:44There.
21:46There.
21:53I had no idea that one of my employees was enabling.
22:00You have every right to be angry.
22:03I'm okay.
22:06Losing a father at any age is devastating.
22:11Thank you for bringing that guy in.
22:16I thought I was going to want to tear him apart.
22:19Take from him what he took from me.
22:20But you didn't.
22:22Most sons in your situation...
22:23Growing off on him would have disappointed my father.
22:26You know, he always said,
22:28anyone can lose their temper.
22:30Real strength is when you know when not to.
22:34Sounds like a good man.
22:36Damn few left.
22:38Your father was a famous cardiac surgeon?
22:42He was everything to me.
22:44Well, I'd love to hear more about him.
22:49Well, I guess I have a minute.
22:53I've been meaning to drop that box off at your place.
22:57Just some things Doug left behind.
22:59Thank you for holding on to them.
23:03We were friends a long time.
23:05But lately,
23:08I just wish I'd paid closer attention.
23:13Me too.
23:15I keep replaying conversations.
23:19Phone calls, things I could have said so he'd still be here.
23:23Don't do that to yourself.
23:26Trust me.
23:27Guilt is a horrible place to live.
23:30Rent's too high and neighbors are awful.
23:36Go easy on yourself.
23:42You still here?
23:43I've got one more question.
23:46You know I can't discuss specifics about Derek's medical status.
23:50But I've never told a patient to lie about the progress they're making or not making.
23:55Yeah, you don't strike me as the type.
23:57But you do always seem to know everything that's going on here at Garland, am I right?
24:03Derek found out today about Andre loping with your mother-in-law.
24:07Interesting.
24:09Well, do you think learning something like that might change his perspective on telling Ashley the truth?
24:14Anything's possible.
24:18I know better than you do the mind games my dad plays with my mom, okay?
24:23And if I thought she was genuinely moving past it and trying to have something healthy with you, that'd be
24:29one thing.
24:30But to me, it sounds like she's rebounding as hard as you are.
24:33Now, you may not know this, but the night you and my mom went to Vegas...
24:37Oh, I do know.
24:38Danny told me everything Bill said, including her reaction.
24:42Oh, so did that feel like an opportunity for you?
24:45Naomi, it's not like that.
24:47Me and your mom, we're real with each other.
24:49We don't pretend that what we have is more than what it is.
24:52And that's what makes it great.
24:53It's a mature relationship.
24:54Well, in that case, the mature, realistic thing would be to sign a post-snub.
25:00That's fine.
25:01Draw it up.
25:02I'll sign it.
25:03Hopefully that will convince you that I'm really looking out for her best interests.
25:09Well, then, another thing...
25:11No.
25:11That's enough.
25:13I'm through defending my marriage.
25:15If you, the pre's, want to gather at the country club and sit in judgment and stare down on people,
25:20that's fine.
25:20Do it.
25:22I married a woman who makes life feel like the good part of a movie.
25:26Can a brother be happy for a minute?
25:28Say something good about the occasion.
25:30Damn!
25:31Okay, well, forgive me for caring about my mother.
25:35It's no shock that a lawyer would want to cross-examine everything here.
25:40Look, I care about Danny, too.
25:42And just because we didn't do it like you would have, doesn't mean that it...
25:46Doesn't mean that it's not real.
25:48And Danny makes me laugh.
25:51Then, by all means, do not sit next to her at a special occasion.
25:56Wedding, funeral, graduation, fashion show.
26:00Yeah.
26:02Why?
26:03What'd she do?
26:05There was this one time my grandparents were sitting on either side of her, nudging her to shut up, because
26:10she couldn't stop laughing.
26:12The most horrible woman in Fairmont Crest walked in, and her wig was just a little, a little askew.
26:20And, no, laughing?
26:22Laughing was wrong.
26:23It was wrong.
26:24And my mom did go up to her, whisper to her to straighten it out.
26:27But, my gosh.
26:29See?
26:30You're still laughing.
26:32That's what Danny gives me every day, and I hope I give it right back.
26:36One thing I know for sure is life is going to life.
26:38And so you'd better celebrate the good parts.
26:41There's no telling when they're going to come back again.
26:45When I...
26:47When I brought up the post-nup, I wasn't thinking about...
26:51I'm sorry, Andre.
26:53Yeah.
26:54I made my money the old-fashioned way.
26:56I inherited my fortune, unfortunately.
26:59I lived on my own for a few years.
27:01Worked, made more money.
27:02So I'm self-sufficient.
27:04I already had a name for myself.
27:07But this is just so wrong.
27:09That's because you're hung up on what it's supposed to look like.
27:12Sometimes you just gotta let it be.
27:15You know what happens when you put two like-minded people together,
27:18who are creative and connected and unafraid?
27:22No.
27:23Neither do I.
27:24But me and Danny are going to have fun finding it out.
27:28I'm a super skeptic.
27:30Yeah.
27:31You'll either do right by my mom, or you won't.
27:34And in that case, you'll have to deal with me.
27:37And I think you should know I inherited my parents' worst qualities.
27:41I'm vindictive, ruthless, and ferocious.
27:46Understood?
27:47Yeah.
27:48Good.
27:50Welcome to the family.
27:55Thanks.
28:00Let's call a truce.
28:02You wouldn't know how.
28:05You might be right.
28:06Why call a truce when there's so many wonderful places to bury the hatchet?
28:10Let's do this.
28:12I will zip my lip about your marriage, and you can do the same for me.
28:17You really intend to stay married to him?
28:21I do.
28:23It's a mistake.
28:25Lots of foul-ups going around these days.
28:27Who knows?
28:28Maybe Andre and I beat the odds.
28:31Well, good luck.
28:32Don't need it.
28:33I got a good man.
28:35It remains to be seen.
28:36And we'll pretend that this kiss never happened?
28:40You couldn't if you tried.
28:53The questions Jacob was asking, were they about Doug?
28:59He wanted to make sure there was nothing he was missing.
29:03I'm the one who wasn't paying attention.
29:05All the signs were right in front of me, and I ignored them.
29:08You were busy.
29:10You have a business and children and a life of your own.
29:13Did you know he went to Nicole for help to stop gambling?
29:17No, I'm sorry.
29:18I didn't.
29:19Don't apologize.
29:22I didn't know either.
29:25Was I just not paying attention?
29:29Look, speaking from experience, you can get really good at hiding what shames you.
29:37Even from the woman you laid next to.
29:40I know what that does to a family.
29:41The secrets and shame.
29:43It's a toxic recipe.
29:47He said he'd moved past it.
29:48I wanted to believe it.
29:51And I'm sure Doug did, too.
29:55You know, it's hard when you have a compulsion like that.
29:58Addiction to something so self-destructive, yet so irresistible.
30:08And I better check this.
30:10Of course.
30:15Thank you so much.
30:16I hope everything will be all right.
30:18So do I.
30:24Hey.
30:24Let me take you to dinner.
30:26Your choice.
30:27Well, I'd love that, but I'm actually feeling a little run down.
30:31Must have been something I ate for lunch.
30:33Well, if you ask me, it's because you found out online that your new stepfather is your aunt's nephew.
30:38News like that will turn anybody inside out.
30:41Wait till you hear about the conversation we had.
30:44That's what did it.
30:45Wait, you actually...
30:47Yes, someone had to talk some sense into them.
30:50Look, just find something to soothe your stomach.
30:52Crawl in the bed, and I'll see you soon.
30:54Love you.
31:08Oh, well, I missed you too, but that kiss had extra exuberance.
31:13Care to share with the class?
31:16Relief that you weren't yet another new in-law coming to interrogate me.
31:20Who'd I miss?
31:21Naomi.
31:22Naomi.
31:23Her outrage was downright biblical.
31:26Man, the law degree really made her lethal.
31:28Yeah, there's a simple explanation.
31:31This marriage flies in the face of everything I have drummed into their beautiful, beautiful skulls.
31:36If the situation were reversed, and they ran off to God knows where to gallivant with the most wonderful man
31:43on God's green earth, I would be serving them both doses of holy hell for the rest of their natural
31:48lives, and twice on Sundays.
31:51Okay, the passion.
31:53It's a precursor.
31:54When we love, we love hard.
31:56And forever.
31:58And don't cross us, because a grudge like that, it's eternal.
32:05Hey, honey.
32:07Sorry I'm late.
32:10Hey.
32:14So, um, why don't I take you to dinner?
32:21Your choice.
32:22A seafood place in Silver Spring.
32:25Whatever you want.
32:27Unless, you know, a magic way of making the day change course.
32:36Look, I'm sorry that we argue, okay?
32:39Really, I am.
32:41If you'll let me make it up to you.
32:43That's not what's bothering me.
32:45Well, not entirely.
32:50Okay, then what's wrong?
32:53I have bad news, and I know it's going to break your heart.
33:05And never count on getting a second chance, so you better make every beat of your heart mean something.
33:12Well, he was a giant among men.
33:16His loss is tremendous.
33:18Not just to your family and friends, but to medicine.
33:24Think of the lives he could have saved.
33:25If he could have only saved his own.
33:32Hey.
33:34Mom.
33:38How did you know I was here?
33:40Joey texted me.
33:43You two know each other?
33:50My children will be the death of me, but they also give me life.
33:54What did Naomi say?
33:55Oh, the way she tells it.
33:57I'm the big bad wolf who's out to grab everything I can get.
34:00I felt like that this morning.
34:02You weren't complaining.
34:04I was not.
34:05I had them believing in all kinds of fairy tales.
34:09As if all a man could want from their mother is her money.
34:11If you tell them what you want from me, Andre, I swear.
34:16What?
34:17You're going to deny me all of this?
34:22Come here.
34:24My mother told me that I needed to burn some bridges.
34:28So I told Bill that I've never met a man like you.
34:32That you've brought me back to life.
34:34That being with you is a revelation.
34:37And that you have helped me realize that I have needs that haven't been met in years.
34:41You did not.
34:43Kind of slipped out.
34:46I bet Bill loved hearing that.
34:49How'd the rest of this conversation go?
35:00What's got you so upset?
35:03I took a pregnancy test and I guess I'm just late.
35:09Okay.
35:10Sweetheart, hey, hey, it's okay.
35:12It's best not to rush these things.
35:14I'm not rushing.
35:15I'm excited to start a family and I thought you were too.
35:18Okay, hey, hey, look.
35:18Show me another man around here who wants a baby as much as I do.
35:22Hmm?
35:24Come here.
35:25Look.
35:27I'm only saying
35:30that once your body
35:32and both of our hearts have finished healing from the loss,
35:35then we'll have the baby.
35:39I know how much it means to you to start this family.
35:45Your best family.
35:47And I can't wait to give that to you.
35:49I promise I am going to make you a father again very, very soon.
35:56Hey, babe.
35:57You look cozy.
35:59How you feeling?
36:02Miserable.
36:04Well, I got just the thing.
36:06Chicken soup for Morphe jeans.
36:09It won't help.
36:10I'm not sick.
36:14I'm pregnant.
