00:06Hey, Nicole. I was just about to text you.
00:09What's going on?
00:10Have you made any progress on deciding to recipient at the Dupree Heritage Foundation Scholarship?
00:14I haven't. I might need your input.
00:16How do you pick one winner out of all of those amazing kids?
00:19Maybe I should streamline the process, not have so many categories?
00:24I don't know. To me, that's what makes it so special.
00:27Singers, dancers, artists, musicians. It's inclusive. All you need to apply is talent.
00:33It's just so difficult. Every single candidate is deserving.
00:37I think this might be the most talented group ever.
00:40You know you say this every year.
00:42And every year you manage to make the exact right pick and another kid gets an opportunity he or she
00:48wouldn't have had without you and your family.
00:51I've been working with the chef. On the Lynx brunch, we've got three menu possibilities.
00:56If you could choose just one today.
00:58Email them. I'll look through.
01:00Okay.
01:03You could bottle that beauty. The way you haven't changed since you were in your 20s, you'd have to take
01:09care of me.
01:09You old sweet talker.
01:11There'd be no need for my services.
01:15So, how's your morning going so far?
01:17How much time you got?
01:22You still look good out there on the course.
01:25Age ain't nothing but a number. The kids seem to like it.
01:28Oh, good to open up the world to them. So, are we going to talk about what happened or pretend
01:33it didn't?
01:34You mean that scene at the restaurant?
01:36Yes. Who knew Aunt Danny was packing a left hook like that?
01:40Nothing to be proud of.
01:42I hated seeing my daughter pushed to a point where she would think that hitting someone was the appropriate action.
01:50Physical violence is never the answer.
01:53I get where you're coming from. And I know nonviolence has always been at the core of your belief system.
01:58But this isn't the bad old days. Some people deserve to get a punch in the face.
02:02It distresses me to hear you say that. On the other hand, I can certainly understand the urge to strike
02:10out when you've been maligned and mistreated.
02:13And Danny has. Breaks my heart to see her suffer.
02:18Now Bill is moving into Thermont Crest with Haley. Why do that?
02:23I mean, I understand that people fall out of love, marriages break up, couples come apart.
02:32But there's a way to end it that leaves the other person standing in their dignity.
02:38If you're a decent human being with regards to others. But that's not Bill.
02:43Haley thinks she's fallen into some fairytale. But she'll find out who he is soon enough.
02:56Hey, I was just wondering where you were. Thought you'd be at the office by now.
02:59I have a stop to make.
03:02Everything okay?
03:04It's been a morning so far, but hoping to salvage what's left.
03:32What are you doing?
03:35Remembering the good times. There were so many. Look. You see how happy we were. Bill loved me. It is
03:46right there in his eyes. I'm not delusional.
03:52Everyone always said we made such a beautiful couple and we did. How could Bill just throw us away?
03:59All right, Danny. That's enough.
04:02I'm trying to understand what happened to the life we made. How am I left in this house all alone?
04:10It's okay, baby. Mommy's here.
04:38People are getting buried.
04:52What's with the look?
04:55Just wondering if everything's okay.
04:57What wouldn't be?
04:59Things good at home?
05:00Sure, why do you ask?
05:02Something you said earlier that stuck with me, about wanting more.
05:07That could mean you're restless.
05:08And restlessness can be a sign, a warning sign of trouble at home.
05:14No, home is solid.
05:18Restless, you could say that.
05:20It's not always a bad thing.
05:24Keep you alert, ready for what's next.
05:27That's what I'm trying to figure out.
05:29What's my next step, my next challenge?
05:32Whatever it turns out to be, I'll be there to help.
05:36As if you haven't done enough.
05:38I've gotten all the way to the House of Representatives because of you.
05:42Because of your guidance, your experience, and the wisdom you share.
05:47I owe everything to you, Granddad.
05:50Don't let me do that.
05:52You're not allowed to cry.
05:53I hate it.
05:54It's weak.
05:56Better out than in.
05:58I suppose you're angry at me.
06:00Is that why you're here?
06:01To yell at me?
06:02I don't yell.
06:03You don't have to.
06:05Your tone does it for you.
06:07That was quite a display of temper.
06:10Haley is stealing my life.
06:13One piece at a time.
06:16All of a sudden, I look up and she's walking into the restaurant like she belonged there.
06:21So you thought hitting her was a good idea?
06:23In the moment?
06:25Yeah.
06:26And you know what?
06:28I felt better than anything has in a long time.
06:31That makes me an awful person, so be it.
06:33That makes you human.
06:36Now, I don't ordinarily condone violence.
06:38You know that.
06:39But sometimes folks deserve a sucker punch.
06:44So, no lecture.
06:46No blame.
06:47You did what you did, and now it's over.
06:50Please, try not to make it a habit.
06:52I thought I was okay.
06:55Not 100%, but getting there.
06:58Those six months.
07:00Waiting for the divorce to finalize.
07:02It gave me time to come to terms with the end of my marriage.
07:05Even the way it ended.
07:07Then those papers came.
07:09And that same day, Bill and Haley booked the country club.
07:13I know.
07:14They could get married anywhere, Mom.
07:17Just like they could live anywhere.
07:19Why here, where I am trying to put my life back together?
07:24What did I do to deserve that level of disregard from a man who I spent most of my life
07:30catering to?
07:31A man I built a family with.
07:33Now you stop right there.
07:36You haven't done anything.
07:38Except be a better wife to Bill than he ever deserved.
07:42He's the bad guy here.
07:43Not you.
07:44Keep that straight.
07:46I know you, Danny.
07:47I know how deeply you feel.
07:50I know how hard it is for you to let go of hurt and anger.
07:53But honey, if you don't,
07:55it will turn back on you and eat you alive.
07:58While Bill and Haley are going on about their business, not giving you a second thought.
08:04Now you need to remember who you are.
08:06A Dupree woman.
08:08We don't turn our power over to anyone.
08:13Tap into that heritage.
08:14Find your inner strength.
08:15And stop letting those losers get the best of you.
08:25Seems Bill had another card to play.
08:29He just bought that house on Marigold.
08:32With him and Haley?
08:33Damn, that's cold.
08:34Even for Bill.
08:36I don't think I have to tell you, Danny went ballistic.
08:39Of course she did.
08:40And Bill knew she would.
08:41Oh, I don't think he anticipated exactly what ended up happening.
08:45Haley had the unfortunate timing of sauntering through the restaurant right after Vanessa dropped the bomb.
08:51Uh-oh.
08:52Danny read her for filth.
08:54And then punched her in the face.
08:57You serious?
08:57Oh, yeah.
09:00Oh, it was a good one, too.
09:02And I missed it.
09:03How come nothing scandalous ever happens at the country club when I'm here?
09:06Our membership fees are supposed to protect us from scandalous.
09:11I have been trying to keep my cool.
09:14Being my sister's voice of reason, God knows she needs one.
09:17But the careless way Bill has been treating her, it infuriates me.
09:23Danny gave up everything for that man.
09:25And don't even get me started on Haley.
09:29Danny was good to her.
09:30Treated her like family.
09:32And Haley was supposed to be Naomi's friend.
09:35I feel like plunging somebody myself.
09:38I hate to see that.
09:42I'm sorry, Danny's having a tough time.
09:45Me, too.
09:47Hoping once this wedding is behind us, she'll feel the finality of it and move on with her life.
09:54Find somebody worthy who will actually appreciate her.
09:58If there's anything that I can do, just let me know.
10:01In the meanwhile, I have to get down to the hospital.
10:03I have a consult on a facial reconstruction.
10:05Oh, um, will you be available this afternoon?
10:09Andre's coming by to scope out the hospital for that video bio for the award ceremony.
10:13I know he would love to see his favorite uncle.
10:16I'll make it happen.
10:17Andre's not here very often.
10:19What do you think about having a family gathering while we gather?
10:22Sounds like a plan.
10:24Mmm, you smell delicious.
10:28Mmm.
10:29Oh, get out of here.
10:33Nurse, you go to ICU.
10:37What are you guys doing here?
10:39We know you're busy, so we won't stay long.
10:41But I wanted to make sure you have a nice, healthy lunch.
10:44Everyone is feeding me today.
10:46Makes sense.
10:47Food is love.
10:48I'm so proud of you, honey.
10:50You'll have hard work and it paid off.
10:52Even I've only known you for a few months, but I can already tell you are going to be an
10:56awesome nurse.
10:57I hope so.
10:59You doubt it?
10:59I mean, that's the plan.
11:02To be the best.
11:03But there is a definite learning curve and you cannot predict what will happen from one moment to the next.
11:08You're going to ace it.
11:09No doubt in my mind.
11:10And if I do, it'll be because of you, Mom.
11:14I know it was hard being a single mother as young as you were, but you always put me first.
11:19Always made sure I had whatever I needed in life.
11:22I'm here today because you made so many sacrifices.
11:25Well, you would have figured it out.
11:27You would have found a way because this is where you're supposed to be.
11:31You were meant to do.
11:33All I did was keep you sheltered.
11:36And fed.
11:38The tradition continues.
11:41Nurse to pediatric.
11:44That lady Bessie coming to give you your props?
11:46I love when that happens.
11:48Witnessing how much your work in the movement has affected and influenced so many people.
11:53I have to admit it made me feel kind of warm and fuzzy.
11:57You deserve all the praise.
11:59The work that you did back then, how you literally put your body on the line to affect change.
12:04I used to study those pictures of you with your head held high, marching through ugliness, people spitting and jeering,
12:13throwing things.
12:14Fun times.
12:15I know passive resistance has always been your thing, but I don't know how you just didn't hulk out sometimes.
12:22Well, it's not a matter of want.
12:24Believe me, there were times when I could have happily lost it.
12:28But we were committed to nonviolence as a strategy.
12:31You know, like the Dr. King's and John Lewis's that came before us.
12:36So, we took whatever they dished out.
12:39And you were the ones who ended up behind bars.
12:42I don't know how you did it.
12:44Sometimes I look back and neither do I.
12:48You are truly amazing.
12:51A gift that I am so grateful for.
12:53And I know I haven't always lived up to your standards.
12:56And I've disappointed you, but...
12:57You haven't lived a perfect life.
12:59None of us has.
13:03But you're a good man, Martin.
13:05With a kind and generous heart.
13:08I'm proud to call you my grandson.
13:11Nothing you've ever done has changed that.
13:14And nothing ever will.
13:17I wish I could take Nicole's advice and magically stop thinking about it.
13:21But every time I walk past that banquet room, see their wedding prep, and now they're gonna live here?
13:28Maybe I should move?
13:29Unacceptable.
13:31You belong in Fairmont Crest.
13:33Your father's father designed and built the first houses in this community, including our family home, where you were born
13:41and raised.
13:43No Dupree is going to be chased out of Fairmont by a couple of interlopers.
13:47This will pass, Danny.
13:49This will pass, Danny.
13:50Life goes on.
13:51You just need to get through this, and you will get through it.
13:54How did I miss it?
13:55Where was I?
13:56What was I doing?
13:59Did you ever suspect the affair?
14:00No, of course not.
14:02I was shocked when you told me more about Haley than Bill.
14:05And I never would have kept that from you.
14:08None of us would.
14:09The truth is, two expert liars came together and fooled us all.
14:14As a family, we let our guard down.
14:16But that is never going to happen again.
14:18So fair warning, be mindful of who you try to bring into our circle.
14:22You mean another man?
14:24No, I don't have time for that.
14:26No, I will be putting all of my effort and energy into making Bill and Haley pay.
14:37Um, you have a visitor.
14:39An unexpected one, I'm guessing.
14:44Hey, Nicole.
14:46I'm hoping you have a minute.
14:55I envy you, Ashley.
14:57I wish I had half your driving determination.
15:00I don't even know what I want to do with my life.
15:03You're already doing it.
15:05Hairstyling is a profession.
15:06I keep telling her.
15:07An important one.
15:08Your skill will always be needed.
15:11Eva, especially in the black community.
15:13And white women need hairstylists, too.
15:16You got all the bases covered.
15:18Thanks.
15:19But I just feel so low-key compared to what Ashley's doing.
15:22Don't compare yourself to me.
15:24Or to anyone else.
15:25You do, Eva, and you'll be just fine.
15:27I just wanted you to know I stand in total awe.
15:30It's just building blocks.
15:31One thing follows another in a logical progression.
15:34That philosophy is working for you, professionally and personally.
15:39And from what I've seen, you and Dirk seem to be solid.
15:43Very much so.
15:45Things are falling into place across the board.
15:48It's so awesome.
15:50We should let you get back to work.
15:52Thanks for stopping by.
15:54And for lunch.
15:55Of course.
15:56Bye.
15:57All right, I gotta get back to work.
16:16This time next week, I'll be in Maui with my honey.
16:19Or is it on Maui?
16:20I think it's on.
16:22Either way, I've never been.
16:23It looks really beautiful.
16:25And it's supposed to be uber romantic.
16:27I think Dave is gonna propose.
16:31I hope you're planning to say no.
16:33Why would you say that?
16:34You have your whole life to be married.
16:37Enjoy being young and free while you still can.
16:40Besides, you ain't seen that boy before.
16:42Hot minute.
16:42What's the rush?
16:44He putting pressure on you?
16:45No.
16:46Just getting swept up in the thought of tropical magic, I guess.
16:50Mind if I get in your business a little?
16:52Open book.
16:54Do you ever regret not getting married and having kids?
16:57No.
16:58Not even for a second.
17:00That's why I know what I'm talking about.
17:03Marriage is not for everyone.
17:05It might be for you, but it might not.
17:08That's just my two cents.
17:10Do what works for you.
17:11I always value your insight.
17:13But I don't want to overstep.
17:14I mean, you are grown.
17:16True.
17:16True, but I still could be like that daughter you never had.
17:22Are you seriously in my house with what, cookies?
17:26Baked them last night for the office, so they were in the car.
17:30Thought I'd be neighborly and bring you some.
17:32Everybody likes chocolate chip, right?
17:34I do not have time for whatever this is.
17:36Wait, please, Nicole.
17:37I swear I won't keep you long.
17:39Just hear me out.
17:41I'm not going to pretend that scene at the country club wasn't utterly mortifying.
17:46But I'm willing to forget that your sister physically assaulted me in front of witnesses
17:50in the interest of peace.
17:54Starting here with you and me.
17:57Your point?
17:59I was hoping that you would help me assimilate here in Fairmont Crest.
18:06Oh, come on, Nicole, please.
18:08It's me, you know, Haley.
18:11Hi, you used to like me.
18:13Your whole family did.
18:14You have made some serious miscalculations here.
18:17Dani is my sister.
18:19My loyalties will always lie with her.
18:22And my sister has been devastated by you and Bill's double betrayal,
18:25because that is exactly what it was.
18:27You used your friendship with Dani's daughter to steal Dani's husband.
18:31I get that's the party line, but it's just not true.
18:34My friendship with Naomi was real.
18:37But so is my love for Bill.
18:39I...
18:40I didn't plan that.
18:43It just happened.
18:45Please.
18:46Look, I'm not a horrible person, Nicole.
18:49I didn't set out to hurt Dani or Naomi or anyone.
18:54I just fell in love with an inconvenient man.
18:57And now you have to deal with the inconvenient consequences.
19:00You see how that works?
19:02Look, I'm not naive.
19:05I know serious damage was done,
19:08and I don't expect your family or this community
19:10to just open its arms to me right away.
19:14But...
19:16Your support would go a long way.
19:20And let's face it, I'm here.
19:23Bill and I are going to be living behind the gates.
19:25Is acceptance of my presence out of the question?
19:30Ultimately, that's Dani's decision.
19:32She's the injured party and a beloved member of the community.
19:36Everyone will follow her lead.
19:40Well, I'm not optimistic on that front.
19:43I've tried apologizing to Dani,
19:46but she just can't get past her anger.
19:50Look closer, Haley.
19:53That's hurt.
19:55Please take your cookies and go.
20:10Ashley!
20:11Welcome to Garland.
20:13Have a great first day.
20:21Ashley Morgan.
20:22Yes, hi.
20:23Shanice Johnson.
20:24I'm your preceptor.
20:25That means...
20:26I know.
20:26My trainer.
20:27Oh.
20:27Off to a decent start.
20:29Well, I've been assigned to teach you the many things you don't know.
20:31And everything is very important,
20:32so pay close attention at all times.
20:34Yes, ma'am.
20:34And don't call me ma'am.
20:35That's my grandmother.
20:36Sorry.
20:37Great.
20:37We'll start with rounds.
20:38You'll shadow me.
20:39Take notes.
20:39Lots of them.
20:40You'll hear words that sound like a foreign language,
20:42because they are.
20:42Or ask about what you don't understand.
20:44You're as green as collards, and we all know it,
20:46so don't stand in your pride.
20:48Lives are in the balance.
20:49And if you start to feel scared or overwhelmed,
20:51just say something to me or one of the other nurses.
20:53We support each other.
20:54Got it?
20:55Got it.
20:56Great.
20:56Let's get going.
20:57Nurse for the fifth floor lab.
21:05Such a beautiful family, and Bill trashes it.
21:10Anita's instincts were spot on with him.
21:14She knew to keep him at an emotional distance.
21:18Me, on the other hand, I wanted to give him the benefit of a doubt.
21:22Why wouldn't you?
21:23He was your son-in-law.
21:24And Danny loved him.
21:27That's why I helped him when he was starting up his practice.
21:32He didn't know anyone.
21:34I was the one with the celebrity connections.
21:39That celebrity's been getting in trouble since the beginning of time,
21:42so I started sending him clients.
21:44His firm took off, and so did Bill's ego.
21:49It was like he was biding his time until he could slither into his real skin.
21:54And that's the guy I've known all my life.
21:57Bill, the control freak, the narcissist,
22:01turning every opportunity to his own advantage.
22:06I'm sorry Danny's hurting.
22:09But I'm happy to see the back end of Bill Hamilton.
22:13He's been privy to what goes on in this family long enough.
22:21Oh.
22:27Hey.
22:28Hey.
22:29You won't believe the morning I've had.
22:32What's wrong with your cheek?
22:34It's all red.
22:35Yeah.
22:36An encounter with Danny's fist.
22:38What?
22:39Are you serious?
22:40She hit you?
22:42Oh, hell no.
22:43This is unacceptable.
22:44Nope.
22:44Just let it go.
22:46I most certainly will not.
22:48I'm not going to stand for Danny attacking you.
22:50That's outrageous.
22:52This is my battle.
22:54You running to my rescue just makes me look weak.
22:58I toughed it out.
22:59Took a table.
23:01Had a bagel with my head heel high.
23:04Maybe gained a little respect.
23:06And I'll keep trying.
23:08Now, as far as Danny goes, she needed a win.
23:13Let her have it.
23:15Well, someone needs to rein that woman in.
23:18Okay.
23:18Well, that person isn't you.
23:20I mean it, Bill.
23:22Leave it alone.
23:25You're a lot more forgiving than I am.
23:27But that's how you want it.
23:32Nothing's working the way that I wanted it.
23:35This was supposed to be a great morning.
23:39Getting the keys to our brand new home.
23:43Instead, I got smacked down at every turn.
23:47First, by Vanessa, who couldn't wait to tell me how I'll always be an outcast in Fairmont.
23:53Then Danny went all Mike Tyson on me in front of God and everyone.
23:59When I tried to appeal to Nicole, she basically told me never to darken her doorstep again.
24:06Babe, you went to Danny's sister.
24:07I know.
24:08I know.
24:09An impulse that I shouldn't have followed.
24:11But Nicole's a shrink.
24:13I thought she could be objective.
24:15I thought if I asked nicely and brought some cookies, maybe she'd consider mediating.
24:22I'm guessing it didn't go well?
24:25No.
24:26She sent me and my cookies packing.
24:30You know, I've been thinking maybe we should cancel the country club and elope.
24:39Go to Vegas or, I don't know, you pick a place anywhere but here.
24:44I'm surprised you didn't say that.
24:46It's just going to be humiliating.
24:48Well, the only people who show up to our wedding are from the firm.
24:51You know, your old family who you were with for decades have shut you out.
24:56And I have no one except Caroline.
24:59And she's on payroll.
25:03It's not exactly the wedding day that a girl dreams of.
25:10Look, I'm going to cancel.
25:12So be prepared for major fees.
25:15Yeah, I don't care about that.
25:16Hey, hey.
25:18Do you still want to get married at the country club?
25:21Of course I do.
25:22It's my dream, but it's so many.
25:24No, no, babe.
25:24No buts.
25:26I think this is a situation where reasonable men can agree.
25:31Yeah.
25:32Let me do what I do, babe.
25:34Let me fix this.
25:34Let me do what I do.
25:53What the hell?
25:55It's my dream.
25:57I don't know.
25:58It's my dream.
26:00I don't know.
26:35Look, the spirit is definitely willing, but right now this isn't an option.
26:40I'm going to need some time to figure out a way.
26:42But I'm not shutting the door.
26:44Not even close.
26:45And thank you for checking.
26:47Oh, I gotta go.
26:53Hey, husband.
26:54Hey, husband.
27:00Once I last saw you, you'd become a nurse.
27:03What about the rest of your life?
27:06Still seeing that firefighter who stole you away?
27:08There was no stealing involved.
27:10You and I were never a thing.
27:12Yeah, but I was working on it.
27:14A little too subtly, it seems.
27:16Are you ever not actively flirting?
27:18No.
27:19Not when it comes to you.
27:22It's good to see you, Ashley.
27:23You too, Andre.
27:29We need an answer to trauma.
27:33You know he's a player, right?
27:35What?
27:37Oh, Andre.
27:38It's not like that between us.
27:39We're just friends.
27:41Keep it that way.
27:42That man is fine as a day is long.
27:44But you don't want to give up on your just-as-fine firefighter
27:47to be another notch on Andre Richardson's belt.
27:49Wow.
27:50You know about Derek?
27:52How well informed of you.
27:54Everybody needs a hobby.
27:56Plus, I'd like to know who I'm working with.
28:00Okay.
28:02Got it.
28:10What the hell?
28:11Matter if I come in for a minute?
28:13Matter of fact, I do.
28:15You're no longer welcome in our home.
28:17I won't take much of your time.
28:19And I apologize for not calling first,
28:21but I was pretty sure you'd tell me not to come.
28:23You're right about that.
28:26But you're here now.
28:35What do you want?
28:36Well, before we get into it,
28:38I heard about the regrettable incident
28:40at the country club earlier.
28:42Not cool on Danny's part.
28:44If you're looking for an apology,
28:46you're in the wrong place.
28:47No.
28:48No, not necessary.
28:49You know, sometimes emotions run high.
28:51Especially Danny's.
28:53And Haley, she's willing to let it slide.
28:56I'm good with that.
28:57I would like to ask a favor, though.
29:00Go on.
29:01Well, as you know,
29:02Haley is all alone in the world.
29:04Never knew her father.
29:05Her mother's gone.
29:06She has no siblings.
29:08But like any woman,
29:09she wants a real wedding with real guests.
29:12I'd like to give her that.
29:15So, I would appreciate it
29:16if you used your considerable influence
29:18to convince your family to attend the ceremony,
29:20along with anyone else you can gather from the community.
29:23A respectable showing is what I'm asking for.
29:27Do you remember the Dupree women?
29:30They want nothing to do with you or Haley.
29:33And they certainly wouldn't be caught anywhere near your wedding.
29:37I'm sure you could persuade them otherwise.
29:42I can't help you, Bill.
29:44You wasted your time coming here today.
29:47Sorry to hear that.
29:49Thought it was worth a try.
29:52Oh, one more thing to consider
29:54before you shut the door completely.
29:56There were a number of times I came through
29:58when you or a member of your family
30:00needed a favor.
30:03I'm asking for the same consideration.
30:05It's just one night.
30:06It'll mean a lot to me.
30:08Just think about it.
30:09And whatever you decide,
30:11I appreciate being heard.
30:15Have a nice rest of your day.
30:22You've been awfully quiet since we left the hospital.
30:26You okay?
30:28I will be.
30:30Finally.
30:31Just hold on to that.
30:34Don't let the little stuff distract you.
30:37You don't have to do this, you know.
30:39I'll find another way that doesn't involve you.
30:41But I am involved.
30:43And I'm good to go.
30:45I just don't want to put you in a
30:48situation that makes you uncomfortable.
30:50What makes me uncomfortable
30:51is thinking about what you went through
30:53all those years ago.
30:55You deserved better, Mom.
30:59And it's time for you to have it.
31:02So don't worry about me.
31:04I'm all in.
31:07It is nice to have you home early for a change.
31:10Come here.
31:10It's been busier than necessary.
31:12It takes hours longer than it should
31:15to get anything done in Congress these days.
31:17It's exhausting.
31:19I was grateful not to be in session, though.
31:21Got time to spend with Granddad.
31:23That's good.
31:24I know how much you love hanging out with him.
31:28Being with Granddad
31:29reminds me of who I am.
31:31The legacy that I carry.
31:33My responsibility
31:34not only to honor him,
31:36but to instill respect
31:38of that heritage
31:39in our own kids.
31:43Adopting Samantha and Tyrell
31:44was the best decision we ever made.
31:47Aside from getting married, of course.
31:49They were so young
31:50when we brought them home.
31:51Now they're teenagers.
31:52How did that even happen?
31:54How did Tyrell do on his calculus test?
31:57He passed.
31:58Are we going to pretend
31:59that's good enough?
32:00I think he was the best he could do.
32:02At least for right now.
32:04Something going on
32:05I should know about?
32:09Tyrell seems to be going through something.
32:10He's been a little standoffish
32:13and internal lately,
32:14but he told me that nothing's wrong.
32:16Okay, I'll talk to him.
32:17But I was secretive
32:18and moody at 17, too.
32:20Mm-hmm.
32:21Unlike moi,
32:22who was a perfectly delightful teenager.
32:26Speaking of delightful,
32:27we need to decide
32:28if we're going to allow
32:29Samantha to date.
32:31Well, she is 16
32:33and all of her friends are doing it.
32:36So you're okay with it?
32:38I think it's better
32:39to give her permission
32:40and to know who she's seeing
32:41than to have her sneaking around.
32:44Is it bad if I insist
32:46on tagging along?
32:47Mm.
32:58I was just with Danny.
33:00And I was with Bill.
33:01Bill?
33:02Where?
33:03Here.
33:04Walked in the door
33:05like he still belongs.
33:08We've got a problem, Anita.
33:16All nurses,
33:17this is the station.
33:19This office has a certain warmth
33:22that really speaks to who you are,
33:23both as a woman
33:25and as a professional.
33:26It's really easy to see
33:27how your patients will feel safe here,
33:29and I want to capture that.
33:31Sounds good.
33:32Mm-hmm.
33:32Oh, and I would also like
33:34to take a look
33:34at your private practice
33:35on the day.
33:36If I remember correctly,
33:37those grounds were quite beautiful.
33:39So.
33:40You're more than welcome to.
33:41Just head on over there right now.
33:43Kat's working,
33:44so she can walk you around.
33:45Okay.
33:46Uh, perfect.
33:47I'll be right back.
33:52Cone 675,
33:53Cone 675.
33:55He reminds me so much
33:56of my brother.
33:58Hey, rest in peace.
34:00Bittersweet, isn't it?
34:01Hmm.
34:02Like so many things,
34:03this journey isn't always
34:05going to be easy.
34:07Life can be challenging at times.
34:10But I'm grateful
34:12every day
34:13that I'm walking through this life
34:15with you.
34:25You know,
34:25you didn't even have to say
34:26you were exhausted.
34:28I can always tell.
34:30That's when the dreams come back, right?
34:32Don't start.
34:33I'm just saying.
34:34And I'm telling you,
34:35I don't remember my dreams.
34:37And could you please stop
34:38trying to hold me accountable
34:39for what happens in my sleep?
34:41You don't have to get defensive.
34:43I am just trying to understand
34:45what's going on in there.
34:47Maybe there's something
34:48I can help you work through.
34:50Let's just call it
34:52an overactive imagination
34:53combined with exhaustion
34:55and leave it at that.
34:57So where are the kids?
34:59And what's for dinner?
35:05What kind of feeling
35:07did you get from Bill?
35:08Any sense of something
35:09he wasn't saying?
35:11He mentioned favors
35:12rendered in the past.
35:14Not in a threatening way.
35:16And he wasn't specific.
35:18Seems sincere.
35:21Concerned for the woman
35:22he loves.
35:23Humble, even.
35:24Bill Hamilton?
35:25Humble?
35:26That's a red flag in itself.
35:28You didn't get a sense
35:30of anything underlying?
35:33Not that you could point to
35:35in a word or demeanor.
35:39But we're talking about Bill.
35:41He's proven he can't be trusted.
35:44And that he'll use what he knows
35:46to get what he wants.
35:48I hate giving in to that man
35:50about anything.
35:51But we can't take the risk.
35:53Protecting Martin
35:54is our priority.
35:56Agreed?
36:00Agreed.
36:05Uh, excuse me.
36:07Danny, what are you going?
36:08Danny, you can't go in there.
36:09What is she doing here?
36:11You're ready for it.
36:18You sorry son of a bitch.
36:22You're ready for it.
36:24You're ready.
36:26Bye.
36:26Bye.
36:31Bye.
36:33Bye.
36:35Bye.
36:41Bye.
