04x10 - I Hate to Spoil Your Memories

[bunniefuu]

- Previously on Dynasty...
- KIRBY: You slept with Fletcher.

And I feel awful about it, okay?
I keep avoiding Fletcher,

I keep avoiding Ryan. It's terrible.

- KIRBY: Oliver?
- SAM: Who?

- My ex from back in Australia.
- You were right to leave.

I took you down a dangerous path.

I need to find the truth
out about my father.

I think he was m*rder*d.

LIAM: I've already tracked down a lead

who can get me closer to the truth.

I really don't want you to do this.

But it's something I need to do, Fallon.

ADAM:
The mass is a stage glioblastoma.

So what do I do now?

I think the time has come for
you to tell the people you love.

(ORGAN PLAYING)

_

That was amazing.

You know,
we should start our own race team.

What? I don't have to drive,

but I did take those turns
pretty smooth, huh?

I had a feeling you'd
love driving in circles

as fast as you could with no traffic.

I have a whole list of
things planned for us.

- Yeah? Like what? My heart can't take it.
- Mm-hmm.

Well, some adventures will
be of a different kind.

Not that I'm complaining,

but what exactly has gotten into you?

(ADAM CLEARS THROAT)

Hospital chief of staff
taking the day off?

Going in late.

Waiting for Kirby to come
back from her night sh**t.

Did I just hear you went auto racing?

Yeah. Cristal bought out
the speedway just for me.

Although her foot was a little heavier

on the pedal than mine was.

- (CHUCKLES)
- Wow, that sounds like

a lot of excitement

for such an early hour.

Well, it's never too early

to start creating new memories.

Seems a little unsafe, though.

Blake, would you go start a bath for us?

- Lots of bubbles.
- Mm-hmm.

I'll grab the strawberries
and champagne.

I love creating new memories.

Are you insane?
You've already passed out.

What if you fainted at
a hundred miles an hour?

Well, I didn't.
Look, I've got two options:

a surgery that probably ends
with me dying on the table

or chemo that makes me sick
and I still end up dying.

So I'm going with option three:

live life to the fullest in
the short time I have left.

How you feeling?
That was a long night of work.

I can't believe how exhausted I am.

I used to make fun of models

who complained about their
jobs being difficult, but...

I take back every nasty thought.

And it's not over yet.

We still got to go to
the Cherie Belle party

for their Bellini breakfast.

What? I can't go to a party.

You have to.

You can't miss a chance
to meet Nisha Lockhart.

- I can't?
- She's the head of the company

and personally picking the face
for their next perfume campaign,

and she can't pick this face

unless it's right in front of her.

She's specifically looking for
new talent to shake things up.

Unless this isn't something you're into.

No, I am. I-I know
I have to do whatever it takes

if I want this career, I just...

wish that staying awake
wasn't what it took right now.

It's gonna take more than staying awake.

Nisha is a perfectionist.
You have to be on.

I'd offer you something
to get you through it,

but you did say that
was a one-time thing.

Okay.

Just to get through the party.
And get this job.

Okay, so I had to drive to
three different bakeries

and one café,
but I finally found your favorite,

a low-fat cran-blueberry
muffin with oat flakes.

What are you doing here?

Did you not just hear my
whole muffin story? (CHUCKLES)

I just thought that we haven't
been seeing each other enough,

or at all, so, uh,
I wanted to surprise you with breakfast

before I have to go to class.

Is this not your favorite muffin?

- Uh, no, no, it is. Totally.
- Okay.

It's so sweet of you. It's just, um...

you know, there are
a lot of muffins out there,

and, uh, sometimes it gets confusing,
and you, um,

you try an old one
every once in a while.

Uh, okay.

I-I'm sorry, I'm just, uh,

I'm just really stressed
right now because I have a...

I have a meeting with
the Infinity Team later,

and you know I have to get
in the right headspace.

I'm so proud of how hard you're working

for this expansion deal.

I just wish I was finished
with contract classes

so I could help with it.

Yeah, I think it's best
if you stay out of it.

I was, I was joking.

- Oh.
- Um, but, hey, maybe we can, uh,

we can grab a quick dinner later

before I have to study for midterms?

- Yeah, sure. Mm-hmm.
- Yeah?

- I'll see you.
- See you.

(EXHALES)

Hey. Excuse me.

Good morning.

How long have you been lurking?

I'm not lurking. I just got here.

For you.

Good news.
Blaine is almost ready to close.

Mm.

Uh, but we-we still have a
personal question on the table.

I told you I wanted to be with you,
you told me

you had a boyfriend,
and then we slept together.

And since then,
you've clearly been avoiding me.

Uh, yeah, I'm-I'm sorry.

No, I get it, you got a lot
on your plate with this deal.

But we are gonna need
to have a real talk.

Sometime soon, okay?

All right.

See you.

Oh. Hi.

I thought you'd be at work.

- I thought you'd be home hours ago.
- I'm sorry.

The sh**t went late and then we
had to go to a work party after.

I assume the "we"
you're referring to is you and Oliver?

Yes. Because he's the photographer.

Trust me, it was more work

than party, like your hospital
cocktail thingy tomorrow night.

Good. I'm glad
you hadn't forgotten about that.

Of course not.

I'll be there with bells on.

Well, maybe skip the literal bells.

Your loss.

Oh, Oliver is coming over later

with some outfits for me to
try on before tonight's sh**t.

- I hope that's okay.
- Yeah, it's fine.

I'm not trying to derail your career.

JEFF: Hey.

I came as soon as I could.

What's wrong?

Well, my assistant Amir was going over

our SEC disclosure information...
say hi, Amir...

and he found a, uh,

a private photo that I emailed
to Liam from my work email.

So I just need you to scrub our servers

so nobody else, you know, runs into that

before my IPO launch.

What? That's the emergency?

Don't you have an I.T. team?

Yes, but, you know, I'm the boss.

I don't want anybody else to see it.

Plus, you're my cousin.

And you've already seen me naked.

Oh, don't worry, it's...

before we knew we were cousins,
so it's okay.

Will you help me?

Sure. 'Cause I got nothing else to do.

(QUIETLY): Go, go, go, go.

(TRIUMPHANT MUSIC PLAYS)

Hello and welcome to your
future with Fallon Unlimited.

We are one of the world's
leading media companies,

and we are only getting brighter.

With a board of directors
filled with stars.

JEFF: Fallon.

I'm sorry, I'm sorry.
I'm just practicing my pitch

ahead of the IPO road show.

Yeah, does it have to be right now?

Well, I wanted you to hear it
before I officially offer you

a seat on our board of directors.

Amir is it?
Yeah, could you turn that off?

I feel, like, a migraine coming on.

Though that may not be
from the light show.

(MUSIC STOPS)

FALLON: Listen, with all the hype

surrounding the IPO launch,
everybody wants a seat.

It's like musical chairs with benefits.

Round and round we go.

Are you done with this metaphor?

For the moment.

The point is,

I need somebody on this
board who I can trust,

who represents a different industry

and who brings great PR.

That is Jeff Colby.

And trust me, you do not want to be

the last one standing
when the music stops.

(CHUCKLES) Okay, now I'm done.

Thank you, but not interested.

Okay, okay. Hardball. I like it.

That's exactly the type of
strength I am looking for

- in a board member.
- (SIGHS)

You never give up.

It's like we're back in high
school when you convinced me

to audition for that play
even though I kept saying no.

Aw. Little Shop of Horrors.

I was so great as Audrey.
And you k*lled it, too,

if I remember correctly.

I was puppeteering the plant.

Look, Fallon,
I'm flattered by the offer,

but I'm trying to find my
own next big thing right now,

and this isn't it.

Okay. Agree to disagree for now.

What's that face? What's wrong?

Um, you need to see this.

Well, I know
it's not a naked photo of me

because I made that up
just to get you here.

It looks like a cyberattack
has been siphoning

your company's financial
information and emails.

What, like, internal correspondence?

Customer data, too.

Oh, no. Well, if this leaks,

then our stock will t*nk
before it even hits the market.

Somebody needs to fix this.

And by "somebody," I mean you and me.

And when you say "you and me,"
you really mean me?

Exactly. Yes.

I hope this doesn't affect your
decision to join the board.

One problem at a time.

♪ ♪

Oh, where exactly are we going
to create these memories?

JENNINGS: First stop,

France.

But that's all I'll say.

And unlike this morning

with the car, you're not getting
a chance to fly the plane.

Well, that's a shame,

I took flying lessons
when I was younger.

You do know that at some point,

I'm gonna actually have
to go back to work.

There are some advantages
to being father of the boss.

Don't worry, you'll be free soon.

But for now,
let's just enjoy being together.

Okay, I put a patch on the source code

of your security software so
the hackers can't get back in.

- Great.
- It'll hold,

but you need to contact the FBI

and hire a cybersecurity firm
to catch whoever did this.

Less great. Do you know

what new investors don't like to hear?

"The FBI has been called in due
to a major security breach."

No FBI, no outside firms

until after the IPO.

Can't you just do it?

Fallon, when I said

I was looking for my next big thing,

I didn't mean becoming your I.T. guy.

Well, you can't abandon me now.

Please?

(SIGHS) Okay, well...

I can't pinpoint where
the hack originated,

but this is definitely
an internal breach.

Anyone working here have,
uh, issues with you?

No, of course not.

I mean, my employees are like family.

I'll make a list.

You get me a polygraph machine.

Everything is going smoothly, Alexis.

It's time to turn it up a notch.

Oh, speak of the devil. Gotta go.

You must be Adam.

G'day. I'm Oliver.

Ah... (GRUNTS SOFTLY)

Uh-huh. Uh-huh.

Wonderful to meet you. (CHUCKLES)

Where's Kirby?

Up in her room,
trying on the clothes I brought over.

Tell me, is it normal for a photographer

to come to the model's
house and help her dress?

Not really.

Kirby's special.
The two of us work so well together.

Because of our history.

It's like this natural chemistry.

We can talk without speaking.

Mm, maybe you and I should try that.

Kirby didn't tell me how funny you are.

You should come by the sh**t tonight.

Like at : .
You can catch her in action.

- She is phenomenal.
- (FOOTSTEPS APPROACHING)

Speaking of phenomenal.

Oh, what are you doing home?

I brought you food.

Sorry, I completely forgot
that you had a fitting.

What's he doing in this house?

Daddy. Oliver...

There's a name I thought I'd
never have to hear again,

attached to a face I hoped
I'd never have to see again.

Hey, Joe, so nice to see you.

Don't worry,
I was just about to leave anyway.

The country, hopefully.

You have no idea.

ADAM: Guess I should leave as well.

I have to prepare for this
meet and greet tomorrow.

After you...

Ollie.

This is the most beautiful
thing I've ever seen.

I see something more beautiful.

How did you finagle a private meal

after hours at the Louvre?

A woman never tells her secrets.

You two have the same mischievous smile.

I will always remember this moment.

Exactly the point.

I can't believe I've only
been here once before.

I've really been missing out.

How come you're not eating?
This food is amazing.

I can't. My...

My stomach feels like
it's doing backflips.

Look, we need to talk.

- The other night, I...
- (PHONE VIBRATING)

- What?
- What's wrong?

It's Flet...
Uh, my contact at the Infinity Team.

The deal's about to get torpedoed,

and he wants me to
come discuss strategy.

I know this is supposed to be
our night, but...

No, no. Go, go, go. You're-you're
so close to the finish line.

Thank you.

Great.

(POP MUSIC PLAYING FAINTLY)

Great. Can you give me
a bit more attitude?

Like, think about the time we
were gonna go to a nightclub

in Cannes, and I never showed up.

There it is.

Perfect. Yes.

Wait right here.

Okay.

I think we need to make
a few adjustments here.

- KIRBY: What's wrong?
- OLIVER: Well, Nisha said she wants this to feel like

an industrial take on Wuthering Heights.

Crazy, sexy and romantic.

Well, you're great.

He's not exactly Heathcliff.

Okay, watch.

I want it to look like you
two are actually in love.

Kirby, put your hand on my shoulder.

And you, don't be
so delicate with her, okay?

- Grab her thigh, like that.
- (KIRBY CHUCKLES)

I haven't read Wuthering Heights,

but clearly I'm going to.

(LIGHT CRASHES)

What was that?

Nothing.

Everything's perfect.

Let's get back to it.

Give me that...

Yes, that's what I'm talking about.

Look at each other. You're in love.

In love. Beautiful.

PILOT: We'll be on the ground
in Atlanta in minutes.

I had a wonderful trip.

Well, why are you crying?

I just...

I wish I could freeze this
moment in time forever.

Well, we're not done
making memories, right?

Not even close.

- Yeah.
- I have a long list of things still to do.

Well, we don't have to make
all of our new memories

in just two days, do we?

I feel mildly guilty

that I spent tonight in Paris

when Fallon needs me here.

I should go in.

Of course.

It's just...

we screwed up so much last year.

We got married in jail.

We broke our vows to each other.

It's important to me that we
replace those bad memories

with new ones.

We will. For the rest of our lives.

There's no need to rush.

Right.

Thank you very much for the information.

Kirby...

Before you say anything,

I would just like to point out that

Oliver and I are not dating again.

That's a small relief.

He's a photographer and I'm a model.

And I'm very proud of
how hard you're working.

Then why are you yelling at me?

I didn't raise my voice.

But you're thinking
things in a loud voice,

I can tell.

That's just your imagination.

However, if I were

to say something I was thinking,
it would probably be

that I found out that
Oliver left his job

- in Australia to come here.
- So?

He got offered a better one.

Yeah, but he didn't
complete his job first,

then he moved out without giving notice,

leaving his furniture.

- Why the hurry?
- I don't know.

And I don't care.

Well, perhaps you should
care about how much time

you're spending with
someone who led you down

a bad path before.

Again, I'm not saying anything,

just thinking.

- Is your name Tessa?
- Yes.

- And you've worked at the company for six months?
- Yes.

And why are you intent
on destroying my company?

That's not a yes or no question.

That's not an answer.

Do you have unresolved issues with me?

No.

No, I don't think so.

Did you betray me?

What are you talking about?
Why am I wearing these?

I thought you called me in to
review the hacked financials.

Oh, I did, but this sounded more fun.

Also, there are questions
about my childhood

that I need answered,
so you might want to settle in.

(TAPPING KEYBOARD)

(KNOCK ON DOOR)

I can't wait to see the proofs.
I'm so excited.

The SD card in my camera was corrupted,

- and pictures were deleted.
- What?! All of them?

No, I have the first third.

I can just send those to Nisha.

No way. I hadn't warmed up yet.

You said I was too stiff. Remember?

You can't send any of those
to the head of the company.

- Well, we could do a quick reshoot.
- Now?

I'm supposed to go to Adam's
hospital thing in an hour.

Don't worry, the pictures are fine.

"Fine" isn't good enough for Nisha.

You said she's a perfectionist.

- Can we go back to set?
- Of course, but what about Adam?

I'll just be a little bit late.

This is important. He'll understand.

SAM: Everything's terrible.

Not everything.

This sandwich is great.

Really? That's a relief.

I just, uh, added it to the menu,
and I was won... What?

Can we please talk about
the sandwich later?

Sure, if we have to.

Last night,
Fletcher told me that Blaine,

the head of the Infinity Team,
thinks that I'm a pushover.

And he's going to strong-arm
me into giving him

a bigger cut of the deal,
or he's going to walk.

What kind of a name is Blaine?

Wait, go back.

You were with Fletcher?

The same Fletcher that you told me

you slept with the other night?

Yes, but I wasn't with him with him.

It was a work emergency.

So you still haven't told
Ryan you cheated on him?

Does that mean you chose Fletcher?

Ryan has midterms.

And I don't want to
upset him before that.

And I haven't "chosen" anyone.

But that's not what we're
talking about right now.

Right. Blaine. (CLEARS THROAT)

This guy probably thinks
he can trample on your deal

because you're relatively new at this

and he's got a whole team of experts.

So, what do you say if I go
with you to your next meeting?

I can be your crew.

Do two people make a crew?

They do when it's the two of us.

I can just be there as your...

silent partner. So...

what do we know about this Blaine guy?

Well, Fletcher told me that he's gay

and he once asked Fletcher out,

which is not that helpful.

But he also likes to bluff.

Though sometimes it can seem
like he's bluffing but he's not.

That's why it's called a bluff.

Whew.

This is a good thing
I'm coming with you.

BLAKE: Well, the good news is that...

hackers didn't get any
financial information

that could really hurt you.

And the bad news?

This company spends a
fortune on air travel.

Really? That's what we're talking about

after a giant hack that
could expose our customers

- to identity theft or worse?
- Yes.

If the amount got out, it would be

a publicity nightmare before the IPO.

Investors hate exorbitant expenses.

They want a lean company,
nothing flashy.

Sometimes I need to get
from one place to another.

And that will never
be flying commercial.

Which is why...

we should invest in a private airline.

I know we've got a lot of other
things to worry about right now,

but you should pull the trigger
on that when you're ready.

Okay, well,
let's put that on the back burner

until after the IPO.

Hey, did, uh,
anyone fail the lie detector test?

Only you when you when
you said you were too busy

to come to my fifth
birthday party, but...

- not everybody's taken it yet.
- Whoa, whoa!

Hey! Whoa! Whoa!

I'm so sorry, sir!

Let me get something to clean that up.

- How'd that guy do?
- Amir? Well, he hasn't taken it yet.

He's only been here, like, five minutes.

How could he possibly have
a grudge against me already?

That's four minutes longer than needed.

Um, Amir?

After you're done cleaning that up,

what do you say we hook
you up to that polygraph

machine... does that sound good?

Oh, yeah, sure.

I just have to pick up my
grandmother at the, uh...

the airport.

Yeah.

Well, that wasn't suspicious at all.

Well, how could he betray me?

Like I said,
four minutes longer than needed.

That's cute.
Look, I just need to get my hands

on an extra laptop and wire up
some hidden security cameras

to send me a direct
feed while recording,

and we can solve this
problem once and for all.

Do you know how to do any of that?

No, but I know somebody
who'll be thrilled to do it.

You'll just have to put
your pettiness aside.

So there's no way we
can do this without him?

Or in the morning?

Jeff isn't going anywhere.

What, is it past your bedtime?

It's the jet lag.

Oh, that's right. I forgot

you gallivanted off to Paris.

Cristal may have gone a little
overboard in our adventuring.

But she really wants us to make up

for our last year of mistakes.

When you slept with my mother-in-law.

So unless you're starting from scratch,

you will always have that history.

Maybe we do need to start over.

I'm gonna go take care of something.

Plus I would rather
not be in the same room

with the man that tried to ruin my life.

Yeah, great to see you, too.

Feels nice to be able to
breathe clean air again.

Come on over. Picture's up.

How did you get Amir to go
into the office after-hours?

Oh, I told him he had to wait

for an overseas package delivery.

I also casually mentioned
that I made a small change

to my IPO presentation that involved

some groundbreaking news meant
for investors' eyes only.

So if he's the hacker,
he will not be able to resist

going through my computer,
which I conveniently left on my desk.

This sounds like an analog
solution to a digital problem.

Okay, but I've decided it's not Amir.

I mean, look, he loves his job.

He even painted my toenails
when my pedicurist canceled.

I think he might have
a tiny crush on me,

which could get uncomfortable.

The only thing uncomfortable
is the image of that guy

being forced to paint your toenails.

He doesn't have a crush on you, Fallon,

h-he's nice because you pay him.

Okay, well,
I still don't think it's him.

Do you know he majored in
computer science at MIT?

He easily has the technical
know-how to pull this off.

Oh, and look what he's doing right now.

Oh, that can't be good.

/ ? That's not what we agreed on.

It was an even / .

That was a starting point.

We've reconsidered.

If you don't like the terms,

we have no problem walking away.

We'll make it / .

But La Mirage takes the extra
ten percent, or we walk.

Does your silent partner not understand

how negotiating works?

He does. Because he understands

that the hotel is the one with the name,
the reputation

and the client base.

There are a hundred groups like you,

but there's only one of us.

(LAUGHS SOFTLY)

Okay.

/ , but a three-year contract,
guaranteed.

Two-year contract, guaranteed.

We get free hotel
rooms whenever we want.

Free room for you for two weeks a year.

Free access to the new
club for everyone else.

Deal. I'll have my guys draw
up the paperwork immediately

and they can bring 'em to us to sign.

Uh, bring it to us where?
Can't we just do it here?

No. I always like to hit a club
to sign and celebrate a deal.

Fletch, you up for that?

Sounds good.

Count me out. All this negotiating
has gotten me tired.

Sam, a word?

I don't think you should
go out with Fletcher again

- before you talk to Ryan.
- I can't talk to Ryan tonight

because he's at home
studying for midterms, okay?

And you heard Blaine.

We have to go to the club,
sign and celebrate there.

It's his thing.

Besides, Blaine will be there
the whole time. We'll be fine.

Okay? I will call Ryan
first thing tomorrow.

I promise.

This is the most boring
episode of To Catch a Hacker

I have ever seen.

I mean, FaceTiming his friend in Japan

to complain about
traffic at the airport?

Well, I guess he really was
picking up his grandmother.

Turn up the volume.

The package still isn't here.

I feel like she made a mistake.

Oh, I don't think so.

'Cause she's somewhat terrifying.

I don't think he's talking about me.

The last thing I'm doing is calling her.

She wanted me to take a
lie detector test today.

I had to run out of there
to pick up my grandma

and I'm also stealing office supplies.

(GASPS) How dare he?

It's the least I deserve
after that pedicure.

Oh, I'm shocked.
He didn't love painting your toenails.

Okay, well, you know, I don't care.

Yeah, I'm tough on my employees.

It makes them tougher out in the world.

You know, this is just like

your group of girlfriends
in high school.

They didn't like doing half the
things you told them to, either.

Okay, that's, like, the second time

you've brought up high
school in two days.

Do you have an issue?

(BEEPING)

Wait, hold on.

The servers are lit up.

There's hacking going on right now.

I took the patch off to try
and catch Amir in the act.

(GASPS) I always knew it was him.

Except it's not.

I set up a trace,
and the signal is pinging all over.

Uh, Russia, China, Ukraine.

These guys are good.

Well, I guess my analog solution

actually helped us eliminate
the paper clip thief.

The question is,
if it's not him, then who is it?

I thought about what
you said this morning,

about all the cruel things that
we did to each other last year.

And then Fallon said
something interesting.

She said that we couldn't
start over again.

But she's wrong.

- Right? We can.
- What do you mean?

And what's in that box?

(CHUCKLES) Well,
this is our new beginning.

We got married in jail,

and maybe that wasn't
the best place to start.

So I had your personal
shopper pick this up

and deliver it right away.

How would you like to renew our vows?

Create new memories
together starting today?

Can't you do this any faster?

Fallon, things would go faster

if you'd stop bossing me around, okay?

You want me to paint your toenails next?

Play an evil plant?
Maybe, uh, fix your hair?

Wh-What is wrong with my hair?

And more importantly,
what is wrong with you?

And why do you keep
talking about high school

like it was some terrible experience?

We were friends.

Weren't we?

Or were you just scared of me

like you think everyone else was?

We were friends.

But there were some
conditions on our friendship.

I wasn't scared of you.

But I was scared of losing

the Carrington scholarship
if I upset you.

Hold on. I never treated
you like a scholarship kid.

We didn't even talk about it.

Yeah, we didn't have to.
We both knew I was only there

because of your family.

So I ended up in that play

just so you wouldn't
complain to Blake about it.

I missed coding camp.

Okay, well,
you should probably thank me for that.

But what is going on?
Why are you bringing this up now?

'Cause you are still
trying to get everyone

to do exactly what you want.

Your employees are terrified of you.

And-and I guess I'm a little
sensitive when it comes to you

trying to manipulate me
into taking a board seat.

So you just think I'm a mean girl?
Is that it?

Well, don't worry,

because I don't want somebody

on my board who's so sensitive anyway.

I already said no. Three times.

You know what? I'm done.

So good luck stopping the hackers before

they release all your private
information to the world.

(DOOR OPENS, CLOSES)

(DOOR OPENS)

How nice of you to stop by.

Before you get angry...

Right.

You're already angry.

I'm sorry I missed the
hospital meet and greet,

but something happened to the
files from last night's session

and-and we had to do
a last-minute reshoot.

- I really didn't have a choice.
- Yes, you did.

You knew how important that was to me.

You okay?

Fine.

Kirby, come on, I'm a doctor.

I know the signs of drug abuse.

What are you talking about?

The shaky hands, the dilated pupils,

that dewy glow that's not makeup.

You got the coke sweats.

And your pulse is racing. So, what?

Oliver's feeding you dr*gs now?

- How much did you do?
- Just enough

to keep up my energy for my work.

It's not my fault

the files were corrupted
and we had to start over.

You never considered that
maybe he arranged that

so he could spend more time with you?

Th-The guy couldn't
keep his hands off you.

What? When?

Last night. I came by your sh**t.

- You were spying on me?
- No, he invited me.

So you just came and
watched and just left?

I didn't want to make a scene.
But maybe I should have,

because he clearly has other intentions.

I asked you to trust me.

And I'm trying, but this whole
modeling thing has changed you.

- You're out of control.
- I'm doing what I have to do for my career.

Doing some coke and a catalog
sh**t is not a career.

Screw you.

(KETTLE WHISTLING)

Ah. Hello, Joe.

I just got done photographing
your lovely daughter.

Did you pop by to see the pictures,

or are you moonlighting as housekeeping?

I don't know what you're doing here,

but I do know I don't
like you near my daughter.

Last time you almost
k*lled yourself and her.

So why are you here?

I got a job and I ran into
Kirby here at the hotel.

She might believe that story,
but I don't.

My sources in Australia tell
me you left in quite a hurry.

The job was too good to pass up.

Yeah, seems so.

Your bank account seems to
be suddenly a lot fuller

than it should be for just
taking a few pictures.

Keep the hell out of my bank account.

Same old Joseph Anders,

sticking his nose where
it doesn't belong.

Be careful.

That is one way to get your nose broken.

I will figure out why you're here.

I want you out of Atlanta, permanently.

- How much will it take?
- (SCOFFS)

I don't think you could afford that.

- Try me.
- Yeah, here's the thing.

I already have a patron,
and she pays me handsomely.

I'm not looking for another.

Alexis.

Either change the sheets...

...or get out.

This isn't over.

I know you think you're working hard,

but if you do not fix this hack soon,

then I am gonna have
to come to the office,

and trust me,
you do not want me coming to the office.

I'm not trying to thr*aten you.

I know you're doing the best you can.

I just need you to do
it a little faster.

Okay? Thank you.

Cristal, I've never experienced
love like the one we have.

Which is why I promise
to love and cherish you

for the rest of our long lives together.

And I will do whatever it
takes to make you happy,

from now until we're old and gray.

You have my heart.

Blake, if we had
all the time in the world,

I would spend each and
every moment with you.

And I promise

that I will do whatever it takes,

to sacrifice whatever I have to,
to keep our love alive.

SAM: Wow. Private room.

I didn't realize this
was the kind of club

Blaine wanted to go to.

You've never been to a strip club?

Oh, no. I have. A few times.

Hold on one sec.

Just gonna send a quick text.

♪ Shorty, let me rock your world ♪

♪ Like making your toes curl ♪

♪ We pouring that champagne ♪

♪ We keeping them bottles popping... ♪

Put the phones down, fellas.

I don't want a record of
what's about to go on in here.

- Huh? Yeah? (LAUGHS)
- Ah...

RYAN: Did someone order...

Here we go.

...a private dance?

(LAUGHS): Oh...

(WHOOPING) Uh-oh.

Mm-hmm.

(HOWLS)

BLAINE: Yes.

(MOUTHS)

♪ Shaking and wiggling,
shake-shaking and wiggling... ♪

Ow! (WHOOPS)

Greetings, gentlemen.

Y'all ready to have some fun tonight?

How about a dance for the
guy that brought La Mirage

and the Infinity Team together?

Yeah? Mm-hmm.

You know what?
Maybe we should get another guy.

This one looks like he's
not feeling very well.

He looks fine to me.

Sam?

Everything okay?

Huh?

- Watch it... Oh. (WHOOPS)
- Oh!

♪ Drop it to the floor... ♪

Yeah. Everything's fine.

- (ALL GASP)
- Oops.

I am so sorry for my friend.

He's just a little... nervous.

Let me... Oh. Okay.

Well, aren't you the gentleman?

Okay, Ryan, stop it.

Ryan, stop.

- Stop!
- Yo.

I can't let him dance for you
because he's my boyfriend Ryan.

And Fletcher isn't just
a guy that I work with.

Okay? He's my ex.

Who I slept with

the other night and I didn't tell you.

And I swear I was going to,
but I didn't.

And I know it was wrong of me,

but it's not as wrong as watching

my current boyfriend give
my ex-boyfriend a lap dance.

Okay?

I am so sorry.

He's just being so judgmental.

I mean,
he knows how important this is to me,

but he's too busy
lecturing me to notice.

And he doesn't trust me.

He thinks there's some
sort of illicit thing

going on between me and you.

Between us?
Well, clearly he doesn't understand

the photographer-model relationship.

And he thinks you're a bad influence.

Well, would a bad influence tell you

that he heard back from
Nisha Lockhart this morning,

and that she loved

the pictures from the reshoot?

Oh, my God. Oh, my God, thank you.

- Thank you so much for all of this.
- Of course.

I'm here for you.
And, look, forget about Adam

if he's gonna bring you down.

Ride this momentum. We should celebrate.

Ooh, I know one way to celebrate.

Do you have any more?

- Are you sure?
- Uh, we've done a little for work,

now we deserve a little for some fun.

Nisha's happy, so I'm happy.

Look, I know we may have made
some bad decisions last time,

but it's not gonna be like that again.

We know better now, right?

Hey. Thanks for agreeing to see me.

I was hoping maybe we
could finish that meal?

Though it would be more
breakfast than dinner, but...

you get the point.

Just, uh, a little nervous.

Yeah, sorry, I-I can't stay.

Look, I get it. Okay? I do.

I have to apologize.

I, I thought I was making
some sort of decision

between you and Fletcher,

and then I saw you in the same room,
and I realized

that it's you that I want, Ryan,

plain and simple.

Well, thank you for saying that.

And I know that I may have
screwed things up too much.

Okay, making you move
your whole life to Atlanta

and then doing this,

but I want you...

I don't know,
may-maybe you can just forgive me

one day.

What if that day is today?

Look, um,
I'm not saying it's okay you cheated,

but I played a part in this, too.

I've been so busy with school
and-and with work that I haven't

been giving you enough time.

I mean, I... if I hadn't been
called to fill in last night,

I probably wouldn't have
even known that there was

something wrong between us.

I...

haven't been paying
attention to you or-or to us.

It's not your fault.

Oh, I know.

But it's not all your fault.

And I chose to move here
and I love my law school,

so I'm staying.

With me?

Sam, um...

(LAUGHS SOFTLY)

I-I think that...

we both know that the timing is wrong.

You're busy with your hotel,
I'm busy with school.

Maybe, uh, who knows, one day

in the future, the stars will
align a little better for us.

Hey.

Yeah.

Who knows?

Okay.

I'll see you around, okay?

I've reviewed your
charts multiple times.

I'm not sure what else
you want me to do.

I want you to help me find a new option

that doesn't involve dying.

You told me surgery was a possibility.

The only way we can go
through with surgery

is if we shrink the tumor first,

and we're not having any luck with that.

Maybe there's some kind
of experimental drug

or a clinical trial.

There's no guarantees.

I don't need a guarantee.

I just need a chance.

I vowed to Blake to do
everything in my power

to keep our love alive.

I need you to help me do that.

MICHAEL: Well? How'd it go?

Papers get signed?

Everything go smoothly?

Well, if by "smoothly"
you mean going to a strip club

where my boyfriend was about to
give my ex-boyfriend a lap dance

until I blurted out that I slept
with that ex-boyfriend, then,

yeah, pretty smooth.

And then you signed the papers?

The deal is dead.

Blaine fired Fletcher

for not disclosing that we
had a prior relationship,

and now Fletcher won't speak to me,

which is actually fine,
because I finally realized

- that I only want to be with Ryan.
- Great.

- Who just broke up with me.
- Maybe I should leave

and come back so we can start over.

Wait.

It's not your fault that I just spent

the last hours in hell, it's just...

(EXHALES)

I went from a hot love triangle

and a multimillion-dollar expansion

to being single again,
with no business plan.

Actually,

I think I can help.

Well, you're not really my type.

You should be so lucky.

No, I meant as a business partner.

A real one.

I could do the same thing the
Infinity Team was going to do.

We can buy our own club

and come up with an even
better plan to expand.

- Would you really want to do that?
- The truth is,

I've been looking for an
investment in real estate,

and after seeing the way
you negotiated with Blaine,

I was pretty impressed.

And I happen to know that Jeff
and Monica have been wanting

to unload the Colby
Club right next door.

Might be a sign.
We could expand the expansion.

I'm in.

I am not sorry for being mean or scary

or for being tough on
you or my employees.

If this is your apology,
you should probably stop.

Look at page .

Go.

(LAUGHS SOFTLY)

Think I'm having flashbacks.

I am sorry for not having considered

what your life was like back then.

Looking at that picture,
it made me realize

that I never put myself in your shoes,
or your plant costume.

(CHUCKLES) Thank you.

And I know that the
Carrington scholarship

must have carried a lot of pressure,

and I'm sorry if you ever
felt like I was using

that pressure to manipulate you.

So I am apologizing, but not

trying to manipulate you

onto my board with that apology.

I like scary Fallon. I always have.

You always go after what
you want and you know

how to get other people
to give it to you.

With the board, I just...

needed you to respect
my boundaries, as a friend.

I understand.
And our relationship is more important

to me than, you know,
me getting what I want.

Which doesn't sound like
something I would say,

but it is true.

Friends again?

We never stopped.

Good, because as a friend,

I couldn't resist fixing
your hacker problem.

(GASPS SOFTLY)

I put a poison pill into your system

before I left,

and when they tried to hack back in,

it destroyed all the
stolen files they had.

We may never know who the hackers were,

- but your information is safe.
- Wow.

So are we talking, like,
a-a real pill or is it...?

Let's just say no and that'll be that.
(LAUGHS SOFTLY)

Okay. (LAUGHS)

But it was fun getting
back to my techie roots.

Now it's time to dream big.

And unlike high school,

I don't have to hide in
a tree costume anymore.

Mm. Well,
it was technically a plant, but...

What did you have in mind?

I'll let you know when I figure it out.

Okay. Hey, in the meantime,

do you want to join my I.T. team?

(CHUCKLES)

I'm kidding, I'm kidding, but thank you

for taking care of this.

That's what old friends are for.

WOMAN: It's done. You're all set,

and it looks like they have no idea

we were going after Ridley's emails.

I phished him using his wife's account.

Once he clicked the link, I was in.

You should be able to see
everything he sends or receives.

Transfer's complete.

Pleasure doing business with you.
