05x08 - The Only Thing That Counts Is Winning

[bunniefuu]

♪

ANNOUNCER [over tablet]:
And they're off.

Leon or a broke well and goes
to the lead, followed by...

Mmm. I smell

honeydew?

Where are the bagels and bacon?

I asked Mrs. Gunnerson
to serve a lighter fare

in prep for the race tomorrow.

Look at this, Sammy
Jo. It's dragon fruit.

Try some. You'll love it.

You may be competing to be
America's Next Top Model,

but I'm not.

And unless I'm riding Allegra

in tomorrow's race, I'm not
sure why I have to eat like her.

We need to eat light so
Allegra can feel light

and win the race.

It's all about being
one with the horse.

I'd rather be one
with an omelet.

[Fall on gasps]

How is my soon-to-be champion?

Oh, Allegra's training great.

Breezed four
furlongs in 48 flat.

Hi, Sam.

Hey.

FALLON: So, Daniel,

I've noticed that Patty's horse,

Leon or a, likes
to go to the lead.

Allegra should be
using her early speed.

Should I go talk to the jockey?

He knows what to do. Trust me.

Well, that's not gonna
happen. It's not that I don't

trust you specifically. It's
that I don't trust anyone.

You know what?

Why don't you and I just
go talk to Allegra herself.

It'll make me feel
better. Come on.

[sighs] Let's go
and get waffles.

Fruit is an appetizer at
best, but it's really not...

Daniel's a drug addict.

I saw him sh**ting
up at the stables.

sh**ting up?

Wow. Wow.

Yeah, "wow" is great and all,
but I could use some advice.

He didn't see me,
but I'm freaking out.

Okay, um, you need
to confront him.

Well, I can't do anything
now. You heard Fall on.

If she finds out,
she's gonna fire him,

and then he's gonna
have to go to Venezuela,

and I don't want to lose
him; I just met him.

If this gets out of
hand, you will lose him.

And it'll be much worse.

As soon as the race is
over, I will talk to him.

Dr. Leonard, uh, I wanted
you to meet Dr. Rosen.

He's one of our fellows who
wants to specialize in oncology.

You interrupted my day for this?

Does he want an
autograph or something?

How do you spell "Rosen"?

Will you just excuse
us for a second?

Um, that was a little rude.

Oh, believe me,
that was nothing.

Look, I'm... I'm sorry
for pulling you away,

but, um, this hospital
is being sued.

A patient is accusing
one of our attendings

of improper behavior
during a exam.

Mm. And this affects me how?

It affects everyone because
we're implementing a rule

mandating that all doctors
must have a third party present

while seeing a patient.

Yeah, if I wanted to
be followed around

by a sycophantic teenager, I'd
work at a teaching hospital

or, uh, Disney World.

So no thanks. Um, sorry.

Refusing is not an option.

I think I just did.

Oh, this isn't over.

[whispers]: There's
no one here.[gasps]

You're talking to yourself.
You know that, right?

I was discussing a
matter with Dr. Leonard

before he walked off.

Ooh. What kind of matter?

A not-your-business matter.

You could tell me but you'd
have to k*ll me kind of thing?

Oh, if that were true,
I'd tell you right now.

Adorable. Mm.

So, are you going to
Fallon's big race tomorrow?

No, I have to miss it.

You'll have to
survive without me.

Oh, I'm not going.

I don't believe in horse racing.

Or Fall on.

I was just hoping not
to have to see you here.

Well, bad luck for
you, then.Yeah.

Well, that's a giant
weight off my shoulders.

Getting a clean bill of health
is all I could hope for.

Okay, sounds like you had
the neurotox scan, not me.

But I appreciate your
support, as always.

Speaking of support,
I have a favor to ask.

Mm? I'm ready to launch.

Dom-Mystique's new
accessories line.

That's great news.

It'll be greater if you
wear some of the pieces

at the racetrack tomorrow.

Yeah, I'm not sure
I'm even going,

and, uh, I kind of
have my own style.

This accessory
line was your idea.

What happened to supporting me?

Can't you ask someone else?

No. This will be your first
public outing in a long time.

Reporters and social
media will love it.

Yeah, okay, okay. For you, fine.

But I'm not wearing
anything bedazzled.

I like bedazzle.

Is that Jeff Colby? Luna?

[laughs] Hey.

[laughs]Hey.

[clears throat]

Uh, right.

Mom, Luna.

Luna this is my mom, Dominique.

Luna and I were patients
here at the same time.

It's nice to meet you.

A mother knows when a third
wheel is one too many.

Are you, uh...

Yep. Finally checking out

after a six-month stint
in neurotox detox.

[chuckles] I'm happy for you.

Any big plans? What, besides
doing cartwheels in the grass?

[chuckles]Not a one.

[sighs] Damn. I, uh...

I wish I could catch up more,
but I actually have to run.

But we should...

Make plans for tonight.

You know I don't like goodbyes.

Do you have some board
games and a hazy IPA?

I have a fireplace and
bottles of Sancerre?

That'll work.

I'll see you tonight.

See you tonight.

There's that vision in red
I've been waiting to see.

What do you say to a
romantic lunch for two?

I say I love spontaneity,

but I have a meeting with
my social media director.

We actually did have a plan.

Yeah, Friday.

It is Friday.

[groans]: Oh.

I must have double-booked.

With Alexam's launch
next week, I'm swamped.

It's fine. I get
it. You're busy.

And there is a packaging
issue I'm trying to resolve.

Packaging issue?

We ordered ten cases
of two-ounce jars,

but received ten cases of
five-ounce jars instead.

So have them send
you the right size.

Oh, it's complicated,
and it's Adam's purview.

But he's been MIA.

Probably secretly dating
some Buckhead socialite.

Good for him.

I'm being blown off by
my socialite girlfriend.

Did you use the "G" word?

Oh, sorry.

Should it be "woman friend"?

"Lady friend"?[laughs]

We can discuss all of the
options at dinner tonight.

"Dinner with boyfriend."

Wow.

"Producer's Guide
to Filmmaking."

Does your boss know you're
looking for other jobs?

He does because

him I am.

[chuckles] Okay. I'm
talking like Yoda.

[laughs]

Sorry about that.
[Laughs] Checking in?

Yes. Sasha Harris.

Okay.

Would you look at that.

The boss has upgraded
you to a suite.

Five-star service.

I'll be sure to leave
a glowing review.

Wait a minute. You
drive a vintage Porsche?

I do. A 1964911.

Six-cylinder flat
engine. Top speed...

Of 130, though
I've only hit 110.

What a beauty.

Indeed.

KIRBY: Sasha!

Hey! [Laughs]

You two know each other?

Yeah, we have the same agent.

She got us a test for
a big makeup campaign.

Uh, let me just settle in to my
suite, and then we can hang out.

Cool.

Hey.

[chuckles] This is perfect.

Now you can hook us up.

[laughs] I could, but I won't.

Why not?

I'm supposed to be
looking for Ms. Culhane.

What if she's the one?

First of all,
Sasha's not the one

because she'd never
change her name.

And second of all, which
is also last of all,

I don't mix business
and pleasure.

Well, that's perfect. You
can stick to business,

and I'll stick to the pleasure.

Setting up my closest
friend with a colleague

is a recipe for disaster,

because when you
two break it off,

it's only uncomfortable
for me, not you.

I haven't even gone
out with her yet.

How are we already breaking up?

Well, look at it this way.

You don't have to
break up with her

because I don't want
you to date her.

You're welcome.

So Linda wasn't responsible
for the Morell site spill?

The-the woman you-you
fired, rehired and refired?

No, she was.

Jeff found out that she was

taking her orders
from Kelly, my VP,

but apparently Kelly
only did it because

she was being blackmailed
by Patty De Vilbis.

And Jeff told you that?

No, Kelly just did. Keep up.

So now what? Are you
gonna fire Kelly?

I don't know. She
seemed so pathetic

and apologetic over the phone.

But I can't think
about Kelly right now

because Patty is coming.

No, Fall on. You need
to stay away from her.

She's toxic.

Oh, no pun intended, I'm sure.

Oh.

Cute hat.

Thank you. I got it, uh...

You can go, sweetie.

And so can that hat.

What do you want?

I heard about your little
toxic spill mishap.

I'm impressed you're still
willing to show your face

at the track tomorrow.

Oh, I'll be there.

And now I know it was
you who sabotaged Morell.

This is when my legal
team would tell me

to neither confirm
nor deny that.

I know a lying liar
when I see one,

especially one who wears
white before Memorial Day.

So tell me why you're
here and then disappear.

Gladly.

I thought we could
make tomorrow's race

a little more exciting
for both of us.

Well, the race isn't about us.

It's about the horses.

And I'm sure I will have
plenty of excitement

in the winner's circle.

I get it if you're nerv.

I just thought
whoever's horse wins

could get a cool one
mil from the other.

Oh, Patty.

I know that you need money now
that your daddy cut you off,

but I just don't feel
comfortable cleaning you out.

I'm not worried.

Espesh if Allegra is as
big a loser as her owner.

Hashtag second place,

2006 Buckhead Equestrian
Finals, 14 and under.

You know what?

I will take your
streak and your money

just like I took
back Morell Green.

Does this mean we have a bet?

We sure do.

But make it two million.

Why not raise the
stakes even more?

Loser also has to walk away

from Heroic Hooves
Foundation forevs.

Deal. And then I'll never
have to see you again.

See you tomorrow.
See you tomorrow.

♪

Sorry, we're late. I wanted
to check on the clinic,

and we lost track of time.

It's not a problem.

Right, we had lunch plans.

Um, right.

Just give me a moment.

I'm just gonna figure
out my schedule.

Hmm, I love the way
the Brits say that.

Clearly you forgot that we
were on your "schedule."

Well, it's not really my fault.

Dr. Leonard has been
a royal pain in my...

"Arse"?[chuckles]

[laughs] Sorry.

What's going on?

Well, he's just shown a
complete lack of respect

for me as hospital counsel,

and he's refusing to go
along with a new mandate.

Well, we can take care of
this guy in one phone call.

Just take a breath
before you call,

like, a hit man or
something. [chuckles]

I was gonna call one
of the board members,

but maybe your idea is better.

No, I'd prefer if he
wasn't maimed or k*lled.

Why not sit him down and appeal
to his compassionate side

as a health care provider?

It's good for the
hospital, good for him.

Yep, I tried that,
and he mocked me

and walked away
before I could finish.

Well, then, maybe let
Blake do what he can.

You say the word,

I'll have this guy
on a one-way bus

to Poughkeepsie before
the weekend's over.

Thank you, but, um...

I think I'm gonna
handle this myself.

Diplomatically.

Uh, Ms. Car ring ton, I
have some concerning news.

Allegra hasn't eaten
since this morning.

Well, then get her some
better tasting oats.

It's not that simple.

We're not sure what's causing
it, but I'm worried that

it'll affect her race if
she's not eating by tomorrow.

She's clearly not herself.

Unless you would like
to look for a new job,

you need to get her back

to being herself.

This morning, you told
me that she was ready,

and I trusted you.

I cannot lose this
race to Patty.

Okay? Especially not after

I've made some very
substantial wagers.

The vet is on his way.

We'll run some tests,
and I'll report back.

He's doing the
best he can, okay?

And you bet two million dollars.

That's not exactly
substantial to you.

It's not about the money.

Whoever loses has to leave
the Heroic Hooves Foundation.

So you find a new charity.

What? I won't be a
charity hopper, Sam.

Besides, HHF is

where I started to evolve into
a... a better version of myself.

If I turn my back on them
now, how will that look?

So what are you gonna
do? Well, it's obvious.

If Allegra is not
gonna be able to race,

I have to make sure that
Leon or a can't race either.

Please tell me the "obvious"
thing is not kidnapping a horse.

No. I'm not insane.

I just have to make sure

that Lenora gets disqualified
before the race tomorrow.

I'll slip her a diuretic.

So she has to pee
during the race?

Diuretics are on the banned
substances list on race days.

Fall on, this is the
better version of yourself?

k*lling a horse? Absolutely not!

I'm not k*lling anything, Sam.

She'll just fail her
prerace drug test

and won't be able to race.

She'll get the day off.

Honestly, she'll
probably thank me.

So are you in?

Uh... no.

Why am I the only one who
knows how to get anything done?

ALEXIS: Alexis Colby

of Alex am Corp.

I'm looking for my
social media director.

She has that weird millennial
energy that looks like laziness

and a name that kind of
sounds like a flower.

This skin care product is
a game changer, Doctor.

Your dr*gs are a youth serum.

And my concierge services are
also available for house calls.

What the hell are you doing?

Um, I'm accepting Nancy's Venmo.

Though I also take
Zelle or PayPal.

How dare you go off and start
a concierge doctor business?

Well, that's a wrap, ladies.

This is what you've been doing

instead of dealing with
your Alex am commitments,

including that
packaging disaster?

Yes. And business is
booming, thanks for asking.

I can't believe you would cheat
on our company for a few bucks.

Oh, this is not about the money.

This is about stopping you
from walking all over me.

Remember, this new formula is
based on my anti aging drug.

Correction: Was your drug.

Now it's mine,

and I will not let you use
it without authorization.

Try and stop me.

Don't worry. I will.

How's the wine? Oh, divine.

[chuckles]

Oh, a present?

From a special someone?

Not really.

My mother's starting a new
accessories line, and I told her

I would wear something
tomorrow at the racetrack.

Jeff Colby is a gambler.

Who knew?

Do you know when to hold 'em?

Uh, yeah, cute. No...

Well, do you at least
know when to fold 'em?

Actually, I prefer to walk away.

I like being in control.

[R&B music playing quietly]

These designs are sick.

And I mean that in the
non-neurotoxicity way.

Yeah. They may be, but, uh,
I'm-I'm thinking I may just pass

on the whole thing anyway.

I'm not comfortable with that.

Oh, because you
don't like a tie?

I'm not buying it.

What's the real problem, Colby?

Okay, uh, I'm just not ready
to be accosted by reporters,

answering questions
about how I feel

and-and what my next plans are.

I don't have any plans.

I want to get my life in order
before I face the masses.

You need to loosen up.

[chuckles, whoops]

Oh, oh, oh. Oh.[laughs]

Uh, okay, it looks like

you're having a little too
much fun with the wine, yeah?

Oh, you know what
would be more fun? Mm?

Is if you took me to
the races with you.

I bet you I can keep the press
from asking you any questions.

[sighs]

But I'll need some of
Mama Colby's accessories.

Yeah, that [chuckles]
shouldn't be a problem at all.

If I win, you have to buy me
that barbecue brisket sandwich

from Fat Larry's I have
been craving for months.

And if I win?

Trust me.

You're not gonna win.

Mm.

Yeah, okay.

We've had enough.[chuckles]

FALLON [whispers]: Hi.

It's time to take your vitamins.

Don't worry.

You won't even notice the taste.

What do you think you're doing?

Oh. Uh...

[chuckles]

I'm just donating
my valuable time

to ensure that every
horse has enough carrots.

Leon or a shouldn't suffer

just because you
can't afford food.

She looks like
she's lost weight.

That's because that's not her.

I switched her out
with the lead pony

because I was worried that
someone would try something.

Really, Fal? Sinking to sabo?

"Tage."

I don't need to "sabo" anything.

Allegra is the better horse.

Then let's raise the bet.

When Leon or a wins, I
want Femperial Publishing.

That way, I can write a tell-all

and tell all about poor little
rich girl Fall on Car ring ton.

You can't even finish a
word, let alone a sentence.

[chuckles]: Don't worry.

I have plenty of other
ways to humiliate you.

I'm just not gonna tell
you what they are, obvi.

Obvi.

Well, while you may live in
your little fantasy world,

we both know how this
ends: With Allegra winning.

And when she does,

I want the one thing
that started this w*r.

I'm not sure what we can do
about Jeff taking my virginity.

Ew, ew, no.

I want the 14 and
under equestrian trophy

that you clearly
won by cheating.

A publishing house for a
dollar store knickknack?

Deal.

You know, I really
am a decent person,

and all I wanted was a nice
little race between our horses.

But since you dragged
me into this fight,

prepare to get your ass kicked.

[R&B music playing,
quiet chatter]

Front desk clerk,

film producer, man
behind the bar.

What don't you do?

Well, I was going for the whole

modern-day Renaissance
man kind of vibe.

Well, you're k*lling it.

[chuckles]

Um, as long as you're back
there, is there any OJ?

I'm trying to stave off a cold.

Well, I'm actually a health
and fitness expert as well,

and orange juice is a myth.

But you're in luck.

I have a preventative cure-all:

Apple cider vinegar and a
spoonful of cod liver oil.

Now I really think I'm
gonna be sick. [Laughs]

Don't you trust me?

Something tells me I do.

But why don't we
continue our conversation

about cars and cold
remedies over dinner?

I would really like to,

but I'm gonna be tied
up a little longer.

Let's meet up when
you're untied.

You know, tonight's
just not a good night.

Okay, uh, just to be clear,

I'm a model, and I don't
ask a lot of men out.

And when I do, they say yes.

I really want to, but...

I'm trying to be respectful
of Kirby's wishes.

Which are what, exactly?

She doesn't want to
make a situation messy

by mixing business
with pleasure.

[chuckles] That doesn't
even make sense.

Especially considering
she's dating Charlie.

Charli... XCX?

Charlie, our agent.

What? Oh, I get it.

It's okay for her to mix
business and pleasure,

just not me.

Mm.

I was thinking we can go
to this new high-end diner.

Costs like 35 bucks
for a milkshake,

but it's supposed
to be worth it.

You know, what I can't shake is.

Adam's complete
and utter betrayal.

Can we please not talk
about Adam tonight?

[sighs] Um, you're
right. I'm sorry.

But starting a concierge
business behind my back?

You're still talking about
him.[elevator bell dings]

ADAM: Mother?
You're suing me? No.

Y-You can't sue your
partner. Or your son.

I'm suing both.

You're using proprietary
formulas I own.

I can't believe you
would be so selfish

to do this right
before our launch.

I'm being selfish?

You're the one
moonlighting in hotels

and private homes
throughout Tuxedo Park!

DEX: Hey, hey, hey, guys,
take it down a notch, okay?

Seriously, if you can't
deal with each other

as mother and son,

how in the hell will you be
able to run a business together?

I'm not sure we can.

[sighs]

I've actually got a great
therapist who can help you

figure this out.[laughs]

I don't need a
therapist to tell me

that I did nothing wrong.

Okay, I was serious.

And that's not the best
attitude to make things better.

Plus, your
relationship with Adam

is starting to cause
issues in ours.

All right, listen up, "Dux."

This whole Dr. Phil thing is-is

not gonna get you more
money from my mother.

It's Dex.

And I just made eight figures
last year, so I'm good.

I like your mom,

but I don't like being blown
off because of her childish son.

Dex, what about dinner?

I lost my appetite.

I'm not gonna see a shrink.

I don't want to either.

But we do need help, and
I don't want to lose Dex.

So if fixing this with you

will help me with him, then
that's what I want to do.

And

if you agree to go, I
will drop the lawsuit.

Can I get that in writing? You're
just gonna have to trust me.

You will learn all
about that in therapy.

[birds chirping]

FALLON: Okay.

After a sleepless night,
I have a new plan.

Better not involve removing

any more breakfast
meats from the table.

Since sabotage didn't
exactly pan out...

Surprising exactly no one.

I have a new and better idea,

inspired by Patty's
little stall switcheroo.

If Allegra

is not in top shape,

I'll just secretly
switch horses.

[laughs]

Well, I mean, you're
kidding, right?

This is a terrible
idea, Fall on.

It's not ideal. I know that.

But it's not like I
had weeks to plan.

I wrote this down in
a haze at 2:00 a.m.

And all I need is Daniel's help

and maybe a little shoe
polish to pull it off.

He's not gonna help you.
He could lose his license.

Besides,

Allegra could be fine now.

Maybe you should call before
you start painting horses.

I did, but he didn't get back
to me.[phone vibrates, dings]

What?

What's wrong?

Well, it's the
assistant trainer.

The hot one or the
married one? No, no, no.

Daniel is missing and
apparently Allegra is, too.

Has your father lost his mind?

Okay, uh...

I have to tell you something,

and I should've probably

told you sooner,
so don't freak out.

Tell me.

[grunts]

You're like a
walking horror movie.

You need to back
off of Dr. Leonard.

What? Why?

He's a top doctor who
brings in tons of revenue,

so just let him do
whatever he wants.

If he wants to operate

by himself in a
closet, so be it.

You have nothing
to do with this.

I make the decisions here

that are best for the hospital
because I'm the chief of staff.

For now.

Where have you been?

Mm, I was just
about to call you.

Oh, right.

You know, I can't tell

if you're lying or if
you're high or both.

Wait, what are
you talking about?

I know about your drug habit.

Sam told me he saw you
sh**ting up in the stables

in front of Allegra, okay?

No wonder she's not
eating. Emotional trauma.

I want you gone.

This has nothing
to do with Allegra.

You have to trust me.

You keep saying that, but you're
not giving me any reason to,

and now I have to
go paint a horse

because of your drug addiction.

And don't give me
any excuses, okay?

Because I'm really
not in the mood.

I have cancer.

What?

I have cancer, and Sam must
have seen me injecting myself

with immune boosters
after my treatment.

Is that true? Does Sam know?

It's true, and-and
Sam doesn't know.

And please don't tell him.

Oh, the good news
is Allegra's fine.

I took her for a
walk and realized

her shoes weren't fitting right.

She wasn't comfortable
so she wasn't eating.

But now that we have
the right shoes on,

she's back to her old self.

She can win.

New shoes?

That's a solution Carrie
Bradshaw could have

come up with in five seconds.

Do you see why it's a little
difficult for me to trust you?

I do, but I'm your best sh*t.

I know this horse.

I love this horse.

Don't sabotage Leon or a or
s-start painting other ones,

whatever that means.

We can win the right
way, but it's your call.

You're the owner.

Hey.

Is Blake around?

No, he went to check on
construction for the airport.

Oh, his airport.

You know, sometimes I forget
what kind of family I'm in.

I know.

It can be crazy.

But I can let him
know you stopped by.

Actually, um, I was kind of
hoping to talk just to you.

This Dr. Leonard problem,

it just... it isn't going away,

and now Adam is getting
involved, and...

I'm just not sure what to do.

I think you are sure.

You're avoiding the
obvious solution.

Well, I don't want to
destroy a man's career

because he won't follow a rule.

But you're willing
to destroy yours?

Because if he gets sued,
you'll also take the fall.

But if I accept Blake's help,

I'm just not sure I'm gonna
be able to sleep at night.

The first time I ever did
some Car ring ton-like things,

I had to take a sleeping pill
at night for a few weeks.

But then, one day, I realized,

"Hey, you're not
doing anything wrong."

When people come after
us, we need to fight back.

So now I enjoy a glass

of chilled champagne at
bedtime and sleep like a baby.

And so will you. Trust me.

Well, I have worked too hard to
let this bastard ruin it all.

No one is going to hand you
power or respect, Amanda.

You need to take it and
live with the consequences.

Tell Blake I'm ready.

Now, don't print that.[laughs]

REPORTER: Fall on? Fall on?

Do you think you
have a chance today?

How is Allegra feeling?

Oh, Allegra is feeling great,

and she'll be feeling even
better after she wins.

I might even buy her
some new silks as a gift.

Can we get a couple of
sh*ts with the Oil Royals?

Well, I'm sure Allegra is
feeling great, but there's just

a class difference that you
can't fake with fancy clothes.

[laughs]: No.

As usual, the De Vilbis family

is questioning breeding,

as they have done ever
since Patty's birth.

But after today's race,

I think you'll all be wondering,

"Is this the same Leon
or a we've heard about?"

[reporters continue chattering,
lively pop music playing]

REPORTER: Jeff? Jeff?

You were recently spotted
leaving the hospital.

Is there any truth to the rumors

that your mysterious
medical condition

was brought on by
your mission to Mars?

Yeah, I didn't
actually go to Mars.

So, uh... Okay, but
how are you feeling?

Uh, what's your next step?

And who's your date?
LUNA: I got this.

Who needs Mars
when you have Luna?

Accessories by Dom-Mystique.Oh.

[reporters clamoring,
cameras clicking]

[phone beeps, vibrates]

It's the makeup company.

Looks like Sasha got the gig.

[sighs]

Oh.

And so did you.

Oh, my God, really?[laughs]

That is so not a nice way
to tell someone good news.

I thought it was funny.

This is amazing.

I don't know how to thank you.

Keep doing what you're doing.

I told you I'm all
about second chances,

and you're proving me right.

Just like Sasha.

We should tell her, too.

Oh, she's probably in the middle
of her all-day spa treatment

before her hot date
with your friend,

the one who owns this
place. Wait, Culhane?

That's the one.

Why? Is that a problem?

No, but it's about to be.

Thank you.

And thank you for
distracting those reporters.

As well as me.

That is a solid use of
Dom-Mystique accessories.

My mother's gonna be thrilled.

Tell her it was my pleasure.

And if memory serves me right,

you owe me more than bubbly.

I always pay my debts.

Until I get my brisket,

how about we settle
up like this?

Uh, I'm just not ready yet.

That whole "getting my
life in order" thing

applies to everything,

including not dating
until I feel settled.

I just don't want
to do that to you.

Well, I'm a big girl.
I can handle myself.

And I can wait.
Though not too long.

Once those pictures of
me hit Hot Tea Atlanta,

who knows what kind of
offers I'll be fielding?

[chuckles]

[bugle playing
"Call to the Post"]

Sam is polishing off
his second peach julep

and told me that you wagered

your entire publishing
division on this race?

It's fine. Don't worry.

"Don't worry"? Nothing
makes me worry more

than when you say "don't worry."

And if you're saying
"don't worry,"

that means you know
that you're gonna win.

The only way you could
know that is if you pulled

some sort of Fall on trickery
on an innocent horse.

If you pulled some sort
of Fall on trickery

on an innocent horse, I
don't want to know about it.

I wanted to, but I didn't.

The only trickery I pulled
was convincing myself

to put my trust into
someone other than myself.

So let's hope that Daniel
knows what he's doing.

Otherwise, Patty may
be your next publisher.

Just coming here
is half the battle.

The first step in
any new marriage

is admitting you need help.

Uh, maybe you need help
because we're not married.

Adam is my son.

And business partner.
We just need to

smooth things out so we
can coexist in peace.

And also so my boyfriend
sees me trying.

Got it. Uh, apologies.

The emergency
session made me think

this was a domestic
dispute. It is.

He cheated on me.

[sighs] I did not.

Okay, now I'm even
more confused.

You cheated on our company.
Because you stole my drug.

Because you framed
me for m*rder.

Because you paid someone
to break up me and Kirby.

Okay, uh,

the session is only 45 minutes.

As much I appreciate a
litany of grievances,

perhaps a truce is
what's needed, yeah?

I already truced.

And that's after he
b*rned my face off.

I don't think
hyperbolic metaphors...

Burning your face

was the only way I could
get you to listen to me.

And it only lasted until
the gauze was removed.

Okay, so apparently
not a metaphor.

Clearly there are some

deep wounds, uh,
between the two of you,

but the good news is, uh,
none of them seem unfixable.

You just need to do the work

and be honest about
your feelings.

Which clearly isn't an issue.

It is for her because
she won't admit

the real truth.

The worst thing she's
ever done to me.

Okay, meaning?

Meaning that when I was
kidnapped as a child,

she stopped looking for me.

She gave up on me then, so
I'm giving up on her now.

[door opens, closes]

ANNOUNCER: And they're off
in the Peach tree Stakes.

Fairly even break.

Allegra stumbled a bit
coming out of the gate.

Leon or a, Nate to
Wire and Long Gone Sean

jump to the early lead.

She's supposed to be
closer to the lead.

I knew I should've
spoken to the jockey.

Freakin' Daniel!

I love the color of
her silks, though.

Oh, I know. Aren't
they great? Yeah.

Come on, girl!

ANNOUNCER: As they race
down the backstretch,

it's still Leon or a in front,

followed by Nate to
Wire and Long Gone Sean.

Okay, all right.
That's it, girl.

Keep moving.

Chelsea and Derby
Dreams also right there.

As they reach the far
turn and head for home,

it's still Leon or a in front
and Nate to Wire a close second

with Allegra four wide
and now in seventh

with some ground to make up.

Damn it.

I'm f*ring your father as
soon as this race is over.

But Allegra is absolutely
flying on the outside.

Derby Dreams and Chelsea
also making a run.

Oh, go, go, go,
go, go, go, go, go!

Allegra on the outside and
Derby Dreams between horses.

Leon or a is done and Allegra
puts her nose in front!

And as they hit the wire, it's
Allegra...[cheering wildly]

Oh, my God. Congratulations.

See? Sometimes trust pays off.

FALLON: Yeah.

Sure does.

For owner Fall on Car ring ton!

[sighs] What are you doing?

What's it look like?

I'm going. Can't fight anymore.

You-you stole my dream
and my childhood.

You win.

Adam, please. Don't do this.

Don't worry. I'm leaving
behind my drug research.

You can give it to your
new company doctor.

But these books, yeah,
they're actually mine.

I don't care about any of that.

I care about you.

I want you to stay.

I'm dropping the lawsuit
like I said I would.

If you were paying
any attention,

you'd realize this is about
more than the lawsuit.

But you just... you
don't seem to get that.

You were wrong.

I never gave up looking for you.

But I had to give up hope.

Because the heartache
of carrying that around

for so long eventually
would've k*lled me.

And when you came back,

I should have been more clear
about how much you mean to me.

Um...

I want to apologize, too.

For framing you for m*rder.

I panicked.

And some of the
other stuff, too.

Without you, there
is no Alex am.

It's just "Alex," and that
doesn't mean anything.

Yeah, I do think our therapy
session was a good first step.

I think Dr. Bronner's right.

We should talk more.

I agree.

But there's someone else
I need to talk to tonight.

[sighs]

I just hope it's not too late.

These accessories looked
amazing in the pictures.

Thank you for doing that for me.

Of course.

You know what else
was amazing? Mm?

You and that Luna together.

Those HTApics of
her were k*ller.

I'm naming a hat...

"The Luna."

[both laugh]

Yeah, she's, uh...
she's pretty special.

So I assume

there's something going
on between you two?

Mm. We are just friends, okay?

Nothing more.

I'm not in a head space
to date right now.

What?

I don't give a flying fedora
about your head space.

And I'm sure Luna
doesn't either.

Okay, look, I wore
your accessories.

I don't also need your
advice, all right?

Then take your own.

When I wasn't ready to
start an accessories line,

you convinced me to jump in.

There will always be a reason
to stop you from taking a risk.

Yeah. You might be right.

I know I'm right.

And if you don't ask
that cute girl out,

Culhane will just snatch her up
since he's looking for a wife.

I'll call her right now.

I can't believe you went behind
my back and asked Sasha out.

Hey, calm down.

She asked me out, and,
yes, I did agree to go.

That's the same thing.

Really? Is it the same thing
as you dating your agent?

Which you didn't even
bother to tell me,

maybe because you knew
you'd look like a hypocrite.

I am not a hypocrite.

Oh, so you can mix business
and pleasure whenever you want

and no one else can?

Seems hypocritical.

That's completely different.

You didn't ask me
not to date Charlie.

How could I? I don't know her.

And I wouldn't
have even if I did.

Oh, no, you just
would've been all judgy.

No. I'm a good friend, and
good friends don't judge.

And you know what else
good friends don't do?

Stop each other from going after
something that makes them happy.

So if you'll excuse me,
I got a date to go to.

[pop music playing quietly]

BLAKE: Ah, looks like betting

a small country's GDP on
Allegra wasn't a bad idea.

Well, Fall on must be thrilled.

This was you, wasn't it?

You're gonna have to be a
little bit more specific.

My wife just got a job
offer too good to pass up,

a high-level position at the
American embassy in Iceland.

Hmm.

I know you used your
connections to make that happen.

Well, I'm out of politics,
and the only thing I know

about Iceland is that it's
green and Greenland is icy.

Right? [Chuckles]

But seems to me that you
should be happy for your wife.

Oh, um,

I picked these up for you.

'Cause you're gonna need
them, you know, in Iceland.

I should've known you'd
have daddy step in

to protect you. Yeah,
you should thank her,

because she talked me out
of having you blackballed,

which I could've done faster
than you can say "Reykjavík."

And all you had to do

was not be a pompous jerk.

But at least you've
learned now that

if you thr*aten one Car ring
ton, you thr*aten all of us.

[gasps] There she is.

Are you feeling okay?

I know you have a bad
case of second-it is.

Oh, don't gloat, Fall on.

It makes you look haggard.

Or more haggard.

No more barbs.

I'm here to pay and sashay.

No offense, but I don't
take personal checks.

I'll have the
funds wired to you.

Actually, don't.

I don't want your money.

But I do want you to pay,
so send it directly to HHF.

Now that I'm the queen bee,

I have to look out
for the foundation.

That's very graysh.

Does this mean I can keep
the seventh grade trophy?

[laughs] Have you gone banan?

No way.

But you can come visit it

once I have the rightful
winner's name engraved on it.

Excuse me. I'm looking
for Luna Moreno.

I, uh, spoke to her mother,

who said she had to
be readmitted earlier.

How is she? Can she eat brisket?

I-I know it'll make
her feel better.

Uh, yes, she was here.

Uh, she was admitted
around 5:00 p.m.

But I'm sorry.

Luna was in end-stage
renal failure,

and she didn't make it.

♪

You really can do it all.

Oh, I still have a few tricks
I haven't shown you yet.

Mm.

But seeing as how
you're sticking around,

guess we have more
time to explore.

I'm still not exploring that
vinegar-cod liver oil combo.

All right. Your loss.[laughs]

[laughs]

So what are you gonna do
to celebrate this job?

Take a trip somewhere fun?

I wish.

I can hardly afford
a plane ticket

after Charlie takes her cut.

Really?

Doesn't she just take like
ten or fifteen percent?

Way more than that.

But I didn't have a
choice when she signed me.

I was basically
untouchable for a while.

Long story.[chuckles]

And she gave me

a second chance,
slash, last chance.

And I'm still paying for it.

Mm.

Is Kirby getting the same
kind of raw deal? Probably.

Her career was basically dead
before Charlie came along.

You should warn her to
read the fine print.

I know it's not the best
thing for a new relationship

to bring baggage in
the form of a kid,

certainly not a grown one.

Or three.

But that's how it is,

and I am sorry for the drama.

So if you're going to
dump me, do it now.

I... But before you do,

I just want to say

thank you for the therapy rec.

Adam and I had a breakthrough.

Okay. That's all.

Go on.

Though Adam and I... We
didn't fix everything,

we-we did make progress.

'Cause healing takes time.

For the love of Sigmund
Freud, stop talking.

I'm not breaking up with you.

Why would I spend the whole day
solving your packaging problem

if I wanted to break up?

Wait, you fixed my
packaging problem?

A VP at an unnamed beauty brand
is an investor in my hedge fund.

I sold her the unused jars and
struck a deal with the supplier

to get the right
ones here in time.

That is amazing.

Thank you.

So instead of a breakup,
I'd now like a makeup.

To be clear, I mean sex,
not beauty products.

[both chuckle]

I wanted to give you this

as a token of my appreciation
for bringing home a win today.

We couldn't have
done it without you.

Thank you. That
means a lot to me.

And I'd also like to offer you
the Peach tree Stakes purse

to aid with your
cancer treatments.

Oh, th-that's too generous.

I-I couldn't
possibly accept that.

Yes, you can.

And as I build my stable,

you will be my
trainer from now on.

Or, you know, for
as long as you want.

Well, if it's okay with you,
I'd like to think about it.

I mean, like you, I
prefer to stay in control.

You know, not many people can
get me to do the right thing.

And now it's your turn.

You have to let Sam
know what's going on.

It's not fair to
keep him in the dark.

I need to talk to you.

And I need to talk to you.

Okay, but let me go first. Um...

Okay, but let me go away.

[sighs]

I'm not a drug addict, Sam.

But I do have cancer.

You saw me taking medication

for my treatment, but I-I
don't want you to worry.

I'm on the mend, huh?

Kelly, I've given
it some thought,

and as much as I
hate to say it...

I think I want to give
you a second chance.

I know what it's like to be
backed into a corner and panic,

so I'm going against every
instinct and letting you stay.

But, Kelly, if you
ever cross me again,

there will not be
a third chance.

You're giving
Kelly another sh*t?

Wow.

I'm impressed.

I could have destroyed
her and Patty,

but then I realized
winning isn't everything.

I mean, it's mostly everything,

but sometimes a little
trust goes a long way.

That's very evolved of you.

And now that Allegra has
won her first stakes race,

we can race her a
couple more times

and then start breeding her.

Ooh. Well, as long as
we're discussing breeding,

maybe we should get back to
starting our own bloodline?

Oh, I love it when you
horse-talk to turn me on.

That day we saw Luna,

they hadn't discharged her.

When the doctors told her
she was in renal failure,

she made a break for it.

I'm so sorry, Jeff.

It's unfair.

It is.

And what's even more unfair
is that she couldn't afford

the long-term dr*gs
needed to keep her alive.

She knew she only had
a handful of days left

and didn't want to spend
them in the hospital.

It's sad,

but be thankful for the time
you got to spend with her.

I wish we had more time.

She left me this.

"Don't miss out on your life

"while you're trying
to get it together.

Take some chances."

Sound advice.

And I'm taking it.

Someone is going to
pay for Luna's death.

I will make sure she
didn't die in vain.

No matter what it takes.
