00:04Previously on Beyond the Gates
00:06I think that Martin and I have reached a tipping point
00:09Back to each other
00:10Come home, Martin
00:11I'm gonna go up and pack
00:12We have to hold on to what we want
00:13Cat's who I want
00:14Hailey stopped five
00:16Bill! Come here!
00:17She misplaced her husband
00:18Yeah, he was with me
00:20You better watch yourself
00:21Hey, don't stop because we got an audience
00:23Danny is their mother
00:24And like it or not, she's always gonna be a part of my life
00:26What the hell is that supposed to mean?
00:28Figure it out
00:29We can wipe the slate clean
00:30Try again
00:31Oh, I'd love to have your friendship back
00:34I can't help but think you deserve better
00:38I want you to take a big step back
00:41And think about the future you really want
00:45If it's bigger than what I can give
00:47I accept that
00:48I won't hold it against you, I swear
00:52Look, I will
00:53Baby, baby
00:56I'm trying to give you an out
00:58Where's all this coming from?
01:01You're the most confident woman I know
01:03I tell you, you're beautiful
01:05And you smile
01:06And say thanks
01:07No pause, no question
01:09Well, I mean
01:10But when I say that I love being married to you
01:12You doubt it
01:14Revisited
01:15Expecting a different answer
01:17I want to be sure
01:18I'm sure
01:19There are things I can't give you
01:21I have everything I need
01:22Children
01:23You don't know
01:25You might wake up one day
01:27A few years from now
01:28And boom
01:29You're hit with a fever
01:31All you want is a baby
01:33Who can carry on
01:34That impressive name
01:35You're making for yourself
01:36And you look over
01:38At your delectable wife
01:39Your partner in crime
01:41Yeah
01:42And her time for babies is over
01:46What do you do?
01:49I don't know
01:50You make a choice
01:52We make choices together, Danny
01:54This one you make on your own
01:57And whatever you decide
02:00We'll always have Vegas
02:03Mom?
02:04Would it kill you to knock?
02:05I am a married woman
02:07For now
02:08I realize that
02:10Hey, Andre
02:10Hi, you're a princess
02:13Just trying out nicknames
02:14For my stepkids
02:16Okay
02:17How do we do this?
02:19Do I have to schedule
02:20Mother-daughter time
02:21Or can we kick him out?
02:23Hey, you don't have to tell me twice
02:24I got it
02:26I'm gone
02:28I'll call you later
02:30Excuse me
02:32Alright
02:35You got me all to yourself
02:39Tell mommy everything
02:41You know what I love
02:42About physical therapy?
02:43Nothing?
02:44This part
02:45I get to tag along with you to work
02:47Are we becoming one of those
02:49Disgustingly adorable couples
02:50So inseparable
02:51We're insufferable
02:52He takes her to work
02:54They have lunch together
02:55Ooh, cafeteria today?
02:56They're doing the
02:57Chicken casserole thing again
02:58Ooh, it's a date
02:59See?
03:00Too cute
03:01Perfect like you
03:02Speaking of dates
03:03We really need to lock down venues
03:05There is so much to plan
03:06Oh, music to my ears
03:08Love wedding bells
03:09But make no mistake
03:10I expect your usual dedication
03:12No running off her fittings
03:13I need a favor
03:14Oh, here you go
03:16No, Derek and I
03:17Have been discussing
03:18How supportive you've been
03:19To both of us
03:20Since his accident
03:21Oh, you noticed
03:22And I was wondering
03:25Would you be one of my bridesmaids?
03:28Girl, yes
03:30This is the second best decision
03:31Of your life
03:31Leave it to me
03:33You'll want to get married every day
03:34Well, no rush
03:36We have a few months to go
03:37Many, many months
03:39Months
03:39That's all
03:40We'll start today
03:41And yes, I would love to be
03:43In your wedding party
03:45It's gonna be great
03:46I mean, who else knows
03:47Exactly what you two
03:48Have been through
03:49whole room
03:49Let's see you
03:50Thank you
04:27I thought you might like a fresh cup.
04:30Took you long enough.
04:32I am so sorry about that.
04:33My shift just started.
04:35To tell you the truth, I'm still getting used to this waitressing thing.
04:39Clearly.
04:40That four-top needs bussin'.
04:43You a waitress?
04:46Once upon a time.
04:48Fairytale ending to Rags to Riches.
04:51I'm the daughter of music royalty.
04:53You don't say.
04:56That's my mama's group.
04:58There never would have been an Articulet's dynasty without her.
05:03So, coming here feels like home.
05:06Well, that's until they finish crafting my new home in the sweetest spot in Fairmont Crest.
05:16Orphid Jeans is an oasis.
05:19People relax, chill.
05:21You might be more comfy at a place that caters to high-maintenance types.
05:26You know, impatient, making demands.
05:29It's not bad, though.
05:30I see you.
05:36There's my favorite customer, but I'll keep an eye on you, though.
05:43I'll keep an eye on you, though.
05:44Hey.
05:45Best table in the house.
05:47Good to see you.
05:48Highlight of my day.
05:50All right, now let me tell you what we have cooking up.
05:52I really think you're going to like it.
05:56How are you?
05:58It's been a long time since Doug and I actually enjoyed being married to each other, so there's some guilt
06:07mixed with the grief.
06:08That's to be expected.
06:11Do you want to talk about it?
06:12As friends?
06:14No judgment?
06:15Never.
06:17There is a situation.
06:20With?
06:21Donnell.
06:22I want him to go back to Banneker.
06:24He wants to stay here and be the man around the house.
06:27To fill Doug's shoes.
06:28And there's nothing to fill.
06:31Before he quit, Doug was a busy surgeon.
06:34He didn't handle home maintenance when things needed fixing.
06:36I made a call.
06:39I love my son, but it would be a huge help if my best friend, who's a wizard at persuading
06:47people to look at their lives in a different way,
06:50could convince him to go back to school.
06:52He does have a bright future.
06:54Which he shouldn't throw away just to stay here and hold my hand.
06:58Are you afraid that he'll see you holding Joey's hand instead?
07:04Donnell!
07:05Well, what brings you by?
07:08I wanted to thank you for supporting me and my mom.
07:11No thanks necessary.
07:13Your mother and I are good friends.
07:15Good friends.
07:16And where would we be without them at times like these?
07:20Well, she has a family.
07:22I'm here.
07:23For good.
07:25I'll be handling things from now on.
07:33Now, save room for dessert, because Jocelyn's cooking.
07:36Mmm.
07:37Always something good cooking at Ophie Jeans.
07:39And now that I know they have the kindest listener in town, call me one of your regulars.
07:46That's the nicest thing I've heard all month.
07:49Month.
07:50Mmm.
07:51Listen, last time I came in, I, uh, wasn't my best.
07:55I'm sorry for unloading on you like that.
07:58I was happy to help.
08:00If I helped.
08:02More than you know.
08:04It was a pleasure.
08:06Mmm.
08:06A place like this with good food and a familiar face smiling at you when you come in is a
08:12rarity.
08:14I know that's right.
08:16You just sit back and let June take care of you for a while.
08:19All right.
08:19All right.
08:21Where's your cat?
08:23Well, it's your teenage brain that I want to pick.
08:25It's a gold mine, and I want to dig a little deeper.
08:28Why would you want to go digging around in my school?
08:31That sounds like something Grandma Nicole would do.
08:34Tyrell didn't tell you about your age demographic?
08:36He tells me nothing.
08:38So, what's up?
08:40He cracked the algorithm.
08:41Turns out moms are buying Chelsea Cat bags for their daughters and themselves.
08:46We love the energy, but we've actually had to restock to keep up with the holiday rush.
08:50Oh, my God.
08:51That's incredible.
08:52We're an unqualified hit, and it's all thanks to my favorite baby cousin.
08:56All I did was smile and take instruction from the smartest model I know.
09:02You know, I'm so happy that Chelsea Cat is a family thing.
09:05All us cousins taking on the fashion world again.
09:10I like having a big family like this.
09:13And finding your mom.
09:14What's that been like?
09:17The best.
09:25What did I interrupt?
09:27Well, Andre's just taking some time to figure out what he wants to do about the marriage.
09:31Oh.
09:32Well, what brought that on?
09:33Thanks to the constant bullying, I decided to give Andre a get-out-of-wedlock-free card.
09:39Wait, you're inviting him to divorce you?
09:42I like Andre.
09:44I want him to do whatever makes him happy.
09:47If that's me, wonderful.
09:50I know we're in different places in life, and his mind could change.
09:53And if we ignore those differences now, it could come back later to bite us.
10:00Funny you mention that.
10:03A dilemma that I thought we put to rest is back in play.
10:08Babies.
10:09Yikes.
10:10How'd that come up?
10:12Do I detect a glow?
10:15Are you a child child?
10:30Alex, I can see the head.
10:32Just a couple pushes away, and you're holding your baby, okay?
10:35Are you ready?
10:35I don't know.
10:36Am I?
10:37Definitely.
10:38Now, on this next contraction, I need you to dig deep and give me everything you've got.
10:42All right?
10:43Here we go.
10:43One, two...
10:48Alex?
10:50How great is this?
10:52You're here!
10:53Hi!
10:53Oh, it's so good to see you!
10:55You look incredible!
10:57Let me see my namesake.
10:59Let me see!
11:00Here she is!
11:01I'd recognize her anywhere.
11:03Hi there, Ashley, Andrea.
11:06How's she doing?
11:0799th percentile for height, on track for weight, hitting all her milestones before her time.
11:13That's my girl!
11:14You're doing a great job, and do not be shy about asking for help.
11:18You hear that, kid?
11:19That's a lifetime guarantee.
11:21You need us.
11:21We're here for anything.
11:24Oh, she's so beautiful.
11:26I can't get over it.
11:28I know.
11:30Is that who I think it is?
11:32Andre?
11:32Oh, give me a hug!
11:33It's so good to see you!
11:34It's good to see you!
11:35How are you?
11:36I'm good!
11:36Oh, and how is baby Ashley Andrea not on the cover of every magazine?
11:39I know!
11:40No idea!
11:41We know the best photographer!
11:43Billy!
11:44We're all together again!
11:45This must be they!
11:48I always tell my patients, you want to have a healthy body, keep it strong.
11:52And that strength flows into other areas of your life, like your relationship.
11:58What are you talking about?
11:59The way you and Ashley were beaming over the wedding and making plans.
12:04Crazy, right?
12:05Yeah.
12:05So what'd she say?
12:07When you told her you were regaining sensation in your legs.
12:10I told her fiancé.
12:11That was the plan?
12:14But at our last session...
12:15I planned to tell her right away.
12:17But then, like, two seconds later, I saw her and Andre dick as thieves.
12:21She's caring.
12:23She's a nurse.
12:23She told Andre that she hopes his marriage with Danny works out so it'd make things easier on her.
12:29And?
12:31It doesn't sound like she's over the guy.
12:33That's your takeaway?
12:35Because on my planet, her telling Andre she wants him to live happily ever after with another woman sounds extremely
12:41over.
12:42Why would it be hard on her if Andre's single?
12:45No, a woman wants another man causing unnecessary trouble when she's engaged, about to get married.
12:50Okay, you really need to get out more and learn a thing or two about women before you actually marry
12:54one.
12:55Yeah, on-the-job training.
12:56I'll pick it up.
12:58You succumb natural to you, smoke eater.
13:01Look, being a husband is no different than being a firefighter.
13:04Put out fires.
13:05Better yet, stop them before they even start.
13:07And protect those who cannot protect themselves.
13:11I get that.
13:12And why are you playing with fire?
13:16I need time.
13:18And Ash could use some time away from that guy.
13:21And can someone explain to me why he's always hanging out here?
13:24I mean, he's always in her face.
13:26Always got something to say.
13:27Derek, you moved your leg.
13:37Joey's my business partner.
13:39And?
13:41Friend.
13:42Like the many friends you've had over the years?
13:45Joey's different.
13:47Yes, he is.
13:48He is dangerous, Vanessa.
13:50You don't know him.
13:52I've heard things.
13:53Those things may not be true.
13:56And whatever you've gleaned from this friendship is fact because he says so?
14:00He's been very supportive since Doug died.
14:04Sizing you up and checking for vulnerabilities before he goes in for the kill.
14:08My question is, why are you allowing this?
14:12He's a charming and considerate man.
14:16Consider this.
14:18You're beating yourself up because you didn't have closure with Doug.
14:23Why am I being analyzed by my best friend?
14:26I get why you are reaching for something or someone right now.
14:30But you need to hear me.
14:33This man isn't it.
14:35And deep down, I think you know that.
14:37I just...
14:38I don't want you to regret this when you start feeling like yourself again.
14:43Donnell and Deanna really need you right now.
14:46Donnell already knows.
14:50I told him about Joey and me.
14:56I like you, Donnell.
14:59We have a lot in common.
15:01Well, up to a point anyway.
15:06Now, I wasn't raised behind any gates.
15:09Now, my life was more like a cage.
15:11One that I had to escape for my mother and myself.
15:15You know, my father wasn't the bright and shining example that yours was.
15:21I definitely got the short end of that stick.
15:25If I had the education that you're having, college, a year to study in Paris, who knows what I could
15:32have been.
15:34But life had other plans.
15:38Somebody had to step up.
15:39Because nothing was more important than helping your mom.
15:42It's a son's duty.
15:46It's time for me to step up.
15:50Your father would be proud.
15:52Hell, I'm proud of you and you're not even mine.
15:55Let's discuss.
15:58I'm not sure what you mean.
16:00Well, this is a big life decision.
16:02You can't just leap without looking.
16:05And you can't bring it to your mother because she's got enough on her plate.
16:08So, let's discuss.
16:10All right.
16:13Shoot.
16:15All right.
16:16What happens if, uh, your mother needs to take a break from her career?
16:21Who pays the bills?
16:23Well, I will.
16:24How?
16:24I'll get a job.
16:26It always seems simple to pay the bills until you have to pay for groceries and the rent and for
16:33health insurance.
16:34And you're going to be doing it on an entry-level paycheck.
16:38And every employer is going to know that.
16:40No, without the degree, without a trade, your options are going to be limited.
16:46I'll figure it out.
16:47You did.
16:50What if I had the answer to all your prayers?
16:53The last time we talked, you say you were going through something with your wife?
16:58Her days as my wife are numbered.
17:01She couldn't be happier.
17:03I'm sorry to hear that.
17:05But don't they say something about getting a new lease on life after a divorce?
17:11As long as my granddaughter still smiles at me when she sees me, I know I'm doing something right.
17:20Barely old enough to be a father, let alone grandfather.
17:24Well, stop.
17:25You're a treasure trove.
17:26Can you excuse me for a minute?
17:27Of course.
17:28All right.
17:31Hello, ladies.
17:33How's my granddaughter?
17:37You didn't give me what I asked for.
17:39What was that again?
17:41One heaping helping of you backing up off my man, Miss Thing.
17:45You're the wife?
17:47Once a messy waitress remembers her place.
17:51And where would that be?
17:54Out of my way.
17:56Things don't go well for people who stand between me and what I want.
18:03But the things I've seen and survived will knock the curls out of your head.
18:10All kind of crazy things in this town.
18:13You don't scare me.
18:15Make a move on my man and you'll find out.
18:17I'm scarier than anything you've survived so far.
18:32I love the last movie you posted.
18:33The one where you took the Chelsea Cat purse on a tour with all the black artists in the Smithsonian.
18:38You actually watch that?
18:40I watch them all.
18:41I gotta stay current if I'm to continue writing Supreme at all the grandfather club meetings.
18:46What did you think?
18:47Kidding me?
18:48She's a star.
18:49Always knew that, though.
18:50Runs in the family.
18:51So catch me up.
18:52What did I miss?
18:54Um, I guess you heard Pop moved out again.
18:59Oh, I'm sorry to hear that.
19:01But are you okay?
19:02Are you in Tyrell?
19:04It's not like Pop's gone.
19:05We still see him and he acts like mad crazy.
19:08Oh.
19:09But you must miss him, I know.
19:11You're getting to know your mom again, which is a bonus.
19:15She is?
19:17So are you.
19:18Uh, it's news to me.
19:20How would I know your mom?
19:23She's your waitress.
19:26Wait, uh, June is your mother?
19:28No.
19:30I know.
19:32That is not the woman that was described to me.
19:34It's amazing.
19:35Right?
19:37Well, she's busy, um, and I gotta get back to work.
19:40Would you welcome her to the family for me?
19:42Yeah, I will.
19:43Oh.
19:44Well.
19:45Next time, ladies.
19:46All right.
19:47All right.
19:52All right.
19:54Excuse me and goodbye.
19:56That's what you should tell that street urchin.
20:02See you when I get home, honey lamb.
20:12How's that?
20:13Any discomfort?
20:14Let me try.
20:16Let me do it alone.
20:17Are you sure?
20:25I did it.
20:26I'm calling Dr. Montgomery.
20:28Am I gonna walk again?
20:29You can tell me.
20:30I can take it.
20:31I'm no neurologist, but...
20:32This is gonna happen.
20:33Ash is gonna walk down that aisle, and when she gets to the front of the church, I'm gonna...
20:37Okay, this is not my first rodeo, but this is your first time being groomed, so let me make this
20:42easy for you.
20:43The last thing any bride wants on her wedding day is surprises.
20:46This is a good surprise.
20:48There's no such thing, Derek, at a wedding.
20:51She's been dreaming of this day since she was a kid.
20:54Don't mess with that.
20:55Save the reveal for another day.
20:57Let it have its own space.
21:00I don't know.
21:02Trust me.
21:03I know what I'm talking about.
21:05She'll cry no matter when you give her the good news.
21:08Do it now.
21:09There's nothing holding you back.
21:13Oh, she's gonna love that one.
21:14Make sure you text it to me.
21:16I'll put it in a frame next to her first professional baby photo, taking moments after her birth.
21:21I bet she hates elevators now.
21:23You think, right?
21:24She loves them.
21:26The longer, the better.
21:27Everywhere we go, she wants the elevator.
21:29Every time I hit a button, I think about that day.
21:32My first week as a nurse.
21:34No.
21:34No.
21:36And ours was your first baby delivery?
21:38Yeah, there was never really a good time to tell you that.
21:41Thanks for keeping my secret.
21:42Oh, got a real friend there.
21:45Oh, we're having a first Halloween party for Ashley, Andrea.
21:48Okay.
21:49And what's she dressing as?
21:50A nurse-tographer.
21:52Say what now?
21:53Part nurse, cute little scrubs, part photographer with the tiniest toy camera in the world.
22:00Oh, that sounds like the cutest.
22:02Well, you'll have to send us pictures.
22:04Oh, no, you'll both be there.
22:05You're officially invited.
22:07My husband would love to get the story of the day she was born on tape from the people
22:11who were right there helping me bring our baby into the world.
22:14What do you say?
22:15Will you be the ghosts of honor at our shindig?
22:21This glow is brought to you by Incredible Makeup.
22:25Radiant, not pregnant.
22:27Jacob has notions.
22:29I don't know.
22:30Maybe it's seeing June reunite with her kids.
22:32He wants you to revisit your double income, no kids position.
22:36Yep.
22:37All right.
22:39Devil's advocate.
22:40You like kids.
22:41Why not?
22:43Well, as adorable as I was as a newborn, I ruined your life.
22:52You ruined my life?
22:54How?
22:56Well, Chelsea and I were little, but we were going through all these old boxes, and we found
23:02everything.
23:04Portfolios and magazine covers, pictures of you all over the world in the most glamorous
23:09clothes, hanging out with all the cool kids.
23:12I mean, we knew you were different from the other moms, but that was the first time.
23:17First time you found receipts.
23:18All the evidence pointing to Danny Dupree being the toast of two continents.
23:23Three.
23:26Then came the man who shut it all down, and then came the kids, and you were stuck at home,
23:31taking care of us when you used to be taking on the world.
23:35I moved on from modeling to help Bill with his practice.
23:38But your career was just as important and impactful.
23:42Do you ever wonder why there were so many kids just a bit younger than you in the neighborhood?
23:47Because, my dear, I made motherhood look good.
23:50Oh, please.
23:51First influencer, right here.
23:54After you, a storm of newborns landed in Fairmont Crest.
23:59Nine months to the day of your first appearance.
24:02No child was more cherished or adored than you.
24:05I wanted you.
24:08I could never.
24:10Never say never.
24:11You could change your mind.
24:12I have what I want.
24:15And I want what I have.
24:17Living the dream.
24:19Picture this.
24:20You're secure in your career.
24:21You have a husband who is an eager and equal partner in parenthood.
24:26You're feathering your nest.
24:28Your body and life are changing in ways that no one could prepare you for.
24:32How do you feel?
24:35Oh, my God.
24:43Who could say no to a party?
24:45Especially for this baby.
24:47Looks like you got your photographer.
24:49That would be so sweet of you.
24:51Hey, what's all the commotion over here?
24:54Somebody start a fire?
24:55Derek the fireman.
24:57Sporting new equipment.
24:59Got good news.
25:00Ash didn't tell you.
25:01We got engaged.
25:03Show her.
25:05Wow, that's great.
25:08Best wishes and congratulations.
25:10You guys weren't talking about our wedding?
25:12Halloween party.
25:13You're welcome to come, too.
25:15Except our place has stairs.
25:17We'll make it work.
25:19Well, you heard the man.
25:20We can't wait.
25:22Hey, I'm looking forward.
25:23So, you better add three to your guest list.
25:26Four.
25:28Danny, right?
25:31I'm not sure I heard you right.
25:34I'm offering you a job.
25:35Well, actual employment?
25:37A dealer position's come open.
25:40I can barely shuffle a deck for Uno.
25:44A bright kid like you, I'm sure you'll pick it up in no time.
25:48And the pay's good.
25:50The hours are what they are.
25:52But you'd be helping out your mother.
25:56But I wouldn't be the man my father wanted me to be.
25:59You know, it wouldn't be right.
26:01Making a living in the same place he spent his last night on Earth.
26:07I hadn't looked at it from that angle.
26:09I apologize if my offer wasn't sensitive.
26:13No, no sweat.
26:14But it makes me wonder, and I'm asking you this because I think your heart's in the right place.
26:20Does it ever bother you?
26:22Does what?
26:23I mean, knowing this place is a hub for all the things that make people ruin their lives.
26:27I mean, the gambling, alcohol, women, and whatever else goes on behind the scenes.
26:36That's a lot of money being made after dark.
26:40Well, this is an adult's own land establishment.
26:43You don't have to defend it.
26:45I swear you earn your living.
26:47But this place costs my family everything.
26:50So, while I'm sure your intentions with my mom are up on...
26:54I get it.
26:56Back off.
26:59Now I've got it from here.
27:05Donnell's seen me with Joey.
27:07He's aware we're friends.
27:08Is he aware of your loose definition of the word?
27:12Joey's been kind to Donnell.
27:14The fact that you would expose your son to that man...
27:19And so soon after his father's death...
27:22Now you're accusing me of being a bad mother?
27:26We are just talking, Vanessa.
27:27I am your friend, and that is not going to change.
27:30Then you'll have to make room for Joey.
27:33We're a package deal now.
27:35Whether Dr. Nicole approves or not.
27:40You're being serious.
27:48Let me guess.
27:49I need to go.
27:50We need to talk.
27:52Dr. Dupree, when you find my friend Nicole, tell her to call me.
27:57Stay.
27:59Vanessa!
28:05Chelsea, this is June, my mom.
28:10June, this is...
28:11I know that face anywhere.
28:13Can I share a secret?
28:15Of course.
28:16I've had some lively discussions about whether you were real or AI.
28:19Because how can somebody be this pretty and true at the same time?
28:26Real and alive, and I love how you two found each other.
28:31We're still finding our way.
28:33We have a lifetime to learn each other.
28:36It'll take forever to figure out your family tree.
28:39Welcome to the club.
28:41Now somebody said something about Ted being your grandfather.
28:45That Ted.
28:46Yeah, he's my pop's dad.
28:49My mother's sister's ex.
28:52Oh, I will never keep it straight.
28:55It's so many important people.
28:57Ted's a famous surgeon talking to a nobody.
29:01Well, hold on.
29:03You're important, June.
29:06Yeah, moms are the most important people.
29:10You're mine.
29:14Oh!
29:16I knew I'd be running into you.
29:18Being in each other's orbits, it's only natural that we collide every now and then.
29:24The universe is a large place.
29:26You should explore it.
29:28Well, eventually I'll have a home on every continent.
29:31But for now, you've heard that I have a new residence.
29:36And it's under construction.
29:38Across from your mommy and daddy.
29:41Your point?
29:42Proximity.
29:43While my home is under construction, I'm living with Teddy.
29:48Now, there is no way that's true.
29:51You may have managed to worm your way into a one-night stand with him.
29:54But Ted despises you.
29:57You are spreading your lies as easily as you spread your lies.
30:00Dr. Dainty.
30:02I speak the truth.
30:04We are living under the same roof.
30:07The roof of the Bowman Hotel?
30:10That is hardly cohabitating.
30:11Excuse me.
30:14It's only a matter of time before we are back in those sheets.
30:20Kickin' boots, baby.
30:23If Dad is weak enough to allow you to seduce him again.
30:29Thank you, Leslie.
30:31I needed that laugh.
30:33Our darling daughters, they want to play with the same toy, little Nicky.
30:39So whatever shall we do?
30:43I'll take that as a no thank you on children.
30:47Not every woman was made to be a mother.
30:50Don't get me started.
30:51The stories I could tell.
30:53I'm living the life that I dreamed.
30:55And a baby won't complete me.
30:57I am a fully actualized human being doing just fine without a kid.
31:02And I couldn't be prouder.
31:03This isn't a phase.
31:04I never said it was.
31:05And look, I admire the women who can do it all, but that is not me.
31:09And I never wanted that.
31:10And that is fine.
31:11Babies are for people who love them and want them and can care for them forever.
31:16And they need so much.
31:19I want to use that time and attention on my work because I'm good at it.
31:24And I've earned my spot helping people find justice.
31:28That's important.
31:29And I don't have the room for changing diapers and parent-teacher meetings.
31:33Like, I'm good.
31:35Exceptional.
31:36I built this life and there's only room for two.
31:40And I'm happy with what I have.
31:43You don't seem happy right now.
31:45Because I should be able to lead the life that I want without people thinking that I'm some monster.
31:50Especially you, Mom.
31:56Hey.
31:58Hey, I didn't see you there.
32:01I recall a time you couldn't take your eyes off me.
32:05Yesterday?
32:07I've been, uh, thinking about us.
32:11Not for nothing.
32:12I may have ended a friendship defending us.
32:15Was it a long-standing friendship?
32:21Patch it up.
32:23This has to end.
32:27Your little kitty cat keeps trying to steal Eva's man.
32:32Tomas is Cat's boyfriend.
32:35Hmm.
32:35He may have something to say about that.
32:37Seeing as he ran straight to Eva's and gave a song and a dance about how he and Cat have
32:44used up all of their nine lives.
32:47Unless you were there?
32:50Hmm.
32:51Next best thing, I witness account that what Tomas and my daughter shared was magical.
33:00Magnificent.
33:02Lord, I'd like to give you a helpful hint.
33:06Mother to mother.
33:07No, you're like no mother I've ever met.
33:10If Cat keeps sharpening her claws on my Eva,
33:15then I'm gonna have to give her some home training that clearly you never did.
33:20Are you threatening my family?
33:23Oh, baby, I was a threat the minute I crossed the state line.
33:26What I'm doing now is promising you that there will be trouble if you don't get a short leash on
33:35your little cat.
33:37To avoid potential ugliness, of course.
33:41You are so intent on inserting yourself into my life.
33:45Your potential ugliness is a daily expectation.
33:49But know this, you come from my family, whatever you throw, it will come back sharpened.
33:56And it knows exactly where to land.
33:59Aw.
33:59Look at us.
34:01Two mothers who are standing up for their daughters.
34:06Don't try that with me.
34:08We both know any move you make is all about you.
34:15You're married?
34:16Since when?
34:17Yeah, about a minute now, actually.
34:20Well, you know what that means.
34:22Ashley Andrea, you're a miracle maker.
34:25Say what?
34:26It hasn't even been a year yet since she was born, and you've walked down the aisle, and you're about
34:30to.
34:31Well.
34:32Everything's working out the way it's supposed to.
34:37Uh, there's my uncle.
34:38I gotta run.
34:39Hey, good seeing you.
34:41Take care.
34:41All right, see you at the party.
34:45What's going on over there?
34:47You see what I see?
34:51What would you like for me to see?
34:53Two people in love?
34:56Building a future together.
34:58But what I see is this force of nature who helped a stranger deliver a baby under ridiculous circumstances.
35:06That baby is a reminder that Ashley and I still have a connection that we never fully explored.
35:15Wanting a child-free life does not make you a monster.
35:19You're not disappointed?
35:21I have never been disappointed in you, because you never ignore little Naomi's point of view.
35:29That voice that always pushes you to be the best you there is, that voice that points you to your
35:36truth, she got you here, and she has never led you astray.
35:42But what about Jacob?
35:44He will try to wear me down on this, Mom.
35:47He knew when you married.
35:49I never wanted children.
35:51End of story.
35:54Who is that from?
35:57My husband.
36:00It's decision day in my relationship, too.
36:05Well, what is the little Danny in your head telling you to do?
36:10Same thing she always says.
36:14Hold on tight.
36:23Hold on tight.
36:24Hold on tight.
36:26Hold on tight.
36:28Hold on tight.
36:39Hold on tight.
36:40Hold on tight.
36:41Hold on tight.
36:41Hold on tight.
36:42Hold on tight.
36:43Hold on tight.
36:44Hold on tight.
36:46Hold on tight.
36:46Hold on tight.
36:46Hold on tight.
36:48Hold on tight.
36:49Hold on tight.
36:49Hold on tight.
