01x95 - Episode 95

[bunniefuu]

My family is at risk.

We're accessories to m*rder.

Oh, come on, old man.

You really think
that I'm that sloppy?

[doorbell rings]

Ladies.

Anita didn't mention
you were stopping by.

Vernon.

Can you explain
how our former partner

ghosts us after begging us
to get back together?

Why don't you ask me yourself?

Allison wants you back?

I told her I was with Madison,
and I thought

that she got the message.

But then Madison and I were
having dinner at Uptown,

and Allison was suddenly there.

Well, it's a public place.

But she made this weird joke
about stalking us.

And then she made this big deal
about how she still has

a hair clip that I left
at her place

in front of Madison.

Well, did she return it?

Just wanted to let me know
that she was keeping it

as a last memento.

Oh, so she's definitely
still into you.

Temperature check.

You were pretty hot and heavy

with Allison for a while.

Is there any heat left?

[phone blips]

Oh, sorry.

It's Dad.

I got to bounce.

Okay.

To be continued?

Of course.

-Bye.
-Bye.

Oh, Chelsea.

Allison, what happened?

♪ ♪

BILL:
Joey.

Yeah.

Marcel made good.

Just another robbery gone bad
in the park.

Yeah, all this dirty business
is in our rear view.

Vernon Dupree just needs to
keep himself in check, though.

Guilt's a mother.

We were both abandoned
a long time ago.

Ah, Vernon still thinks he's
touched by some higher power.

No.

No, nothing for you
to worry about.

Deep down, he knows how
to handle a rabid dog.

Yeah. Talk soon.

[knocking]

-Bill, hey.
-Hey.

Rumors are true:
you're really back.

Yeah, not a moment too soon.

There's a reason my name's on
the shingle and no one else's.

What'd I miss?

A lesson.

Remember this, Tomas.

If you ever find yourself
running your own firm,

you're gonna have
to make the tough calls

without getting
one bit of thanks in return.

We missed you, too.

This was at reception.

What is this?

[knocking]

Hey, Kat.

Okay, what's the big secret?

I don't know what you mean.

The text.

You-you summoned me?

I didn't leave you a message.

Oh, that was me.

You spoofed Dad's phone and
catfished me into coming here?

You did what?
Eva, why would you--

I apologize, Ted,
I really do, okay?

And I swear I'll never do
anything like that again.

So you said before.

After you hear
what I have to say to Kat,

you'll see it was very important
for us to come here

so we can clear some things up.

And if you knew that text was
from me, would you have come?

Where's the fire?

You really laid into me
for that mess

with the accreditation
certificate.

I was a bit harsh--

EVA:
No, I was in the wrong.

And my mistake could
have put your practice

in some serious jeopardy.

And there's something
you need to know.

I'm out.

I don't really see what
you groveling has to do with me.

Oh, it has everything

to do with you.

Maybe I'll let him
know what you did,

and see what he thinks about it.

KAT:
I don't think you will.

What makes you so sure?

TED:
Eva.

Don't leave us in suspense.

Anita, we didn't come here
to ambush you.

We just came to finish
our conversation.

How many calls and texts
did you ignore?

It's almost as if I didn't want
to speak with you.

-Ladies, I think
I'll leave you to--
-No, no, no.

We might need a witness.

Then let's convene
in the parlor.

Can I get anyone some, uh,
juice, water, coffee?

How about a vat of bourbon?

[chuckling]:
Have a seat.

I'll have Rowena prepare
some tea.

So...

You want to tell me
why you've invited

yourselves to my home?

You're the one who invited us.

TRACY:
Sharon.

SHARON:
It's the truth.

We were minding
our own business

when you sailed
back into our lives

and got us dreaming again.

And then the second things
didn't go your way

and only your way,

you dropped the mic and dipped.

Oh, I get that a diva loves
a grand entrance

and an even grander exit,

but maybe you forgot how to act
when the spotlight's off.

Sharon, not the move.

No.

Sharon's right.

I opened the door,

But the problem came
when you two

never fully walked through it.

Oh, if it hadn't been
the choreography,

it would have been the costumes
or the arrangements

or the lighting.

You know, y'all talk
a big game about honesty.

Time to back it up.

You never gave me or us

a real chance.

Oh, she's...

waiting for the grand
"we're super sorry" gesture.

Okay, Your Majesty.

Here we are,

two-thirds of the group begging

for the holdout to reconsider

and that the reunion concert
proceed as planned.

If you'd like, we can kneel.

Um, I only kneel for Jesus.

Okay?

So who are the divas now?

If this was the play
to get me back...

...y'all really don't know me
at all.

Talk to me,
what happened to you?

It's not as bad as it looks.

You're not looking at you.

Okay, I just tripped on
a crack out there, okay?

-I just need some ice.
-You need a doctor.

That cut looks deep.

Are you asking me
to play doctor?

I'm sorry, I make stupid jokes.

When you're bleeding
from a head wound?

Yeah, I need to get it
checked out.

I don't know,
I just don't think that--

-I'll drive you.
-You sure?

You made it pretty clear
that you wanted

nothing to do with me.

I wouldn't let my
worst enemy drive themselves

to the hospital, let alone
someone that I used to...

Let's go.

You've always had
the biggest heart.

Come on.

What's the meaning of this?

Wait, is that--

What do you think it is?

A weather map?

Hayley, is this--

Our ultrasound.

There was an issue with
the video the tech promised us,

but she managed
to capture a photo,

so I had it sent
from the hospital.

I thought maybe we had a new
paternity case on the books.

Naw, man,
I'm the proud daddy-to-be.

Now, is this--

Is that an arm or a leg?

That's definitely
the head right there.

Can we even tell
if it's either Bill Jr. or...

Billita?

Oh, the only thing
I know for sure is

get Billita out of your mouth.

Baby, you know
I'm only ten weeks,

so we've still got
a little while

until we find out the gender.

Well, I wanted
to hear that heartbeat

while I was holding your hand.

So let's get the next
appointment on the books.

So, I don't know,
I want to be there

when we find out
who we're meeting, okay?

HAYLEY:
Okay. Hmm.

-Yes.
-[chuckling]

I'll leave the happy parents
to it. Congrats again.

Thanks, Tomas.

Oh...

Poor kid looked at it
like it was a hot potato.

And you looked at it
like it's our future.

Mm-hmm.

You know...

baby, you always know
exactly what to bring me.

Exactly what I needed.

Thank you.

Maybe you are

taking on too much.

No, no, I think
I'm handling things.

Oh, like taking over
Martin's press conference?

Baby, I...

I didn't take over, per se...

But you showed him
something on your phone,

and he nearly went
into the fetal position.

Okay, babe,
I'd rather talk about...

Billita's fetal position, okay?

When's the next ultrasound?

No changing the subject, Bill.

You steered Martin away
for a reason.

Catch me up
on the latest Dupree drama?

I'd rather...

talk about what frame
we're gonna put this in, okay?

Well, we've got lots of frames

for wedding presents.

Yes, I remember.

And I'll help you pick
out the perfect one

-when we get home.
-Okay, good.

Maybe I need to get back to work
so I can get home sooner.

Okay?

'Kay.

Okay.

That press conference
looked messy.

I'm just reminding you
that we...

have a future that
you need to be here for,

Big Daddy Hamilton.

Mm, I like the sound of that.

I need to know
that if you're stepping back

into the Dupree orbit.

it won't give you another...

-Stroke.
-Yeah.

Yeah, the worst
is behind us, baby.

Okay?

But I see that crease
between your brows, Bill.

Yeah, well...

I'm not Vernon Dupree's
favorite person right now.

But then again,

I never really was.

I realize this is
none of my business.

-Please, weigh in.
-We could use come good advice.

Tell us what you think, Vernon.

ANITA:
Well, at least we're unanimous

in wanting your input.

[chuckles] Well, then.

I am standing
with one of the most

successful musical groups
of all time and, uh...

But if I close my eyes,

I'd say I was standing
in the halls

of my junior high school.

Oh, we're a long way
from junior high.

So why would you brilliant,

wise, beautiful, grown women
not be able

to tap into those years

and those experiences and deal?

Senator, you are still
quite the orator.

Did I sway you?

Well, we haven't really been
acting our age.

We threw ourselves
into this reunion concert,

and I thought we'd get past
the choreography, but...

I guess some things
aren't meant to be.

Maybe it is.

But some of us just run back

into their gated community
the second it gets tough.

Anita wasn't wrong, Sharon.

You're agreeing with me?

Yes.

And I'm telling you,

Sharon wasn't wrong, either.

Now, we were so close
to really doing this thing,

but...

we didn't give you
a real chance, Anita.

Thank you for admitting that.

However...

Keep going, Tracy. You got this.

However,

you were so used
to being in charge

that you didn't even notice

that you were
refreshing old wounds.

I never said I wasn't
willing to face our past.

What I said was we couldn't
live in it every moment

and get this show up on stage.

But I'm not interested
in retreading

the same old tired ground.

We said what
we had to say in Chicago.

Can I ask you all a question?

Knock yourself out, Senator.

I don't even think you have
the magic words

to solve this impasse.

I'm curious to hear
what Eva has to say, Dad.

Although I've got to point out,
spoofing your phone

sounds a lot like what
Eva's cray-cray mother would do.

I agree that wasn't
the best way to handle this--

You were so disappointed,
I couldn't just let it lie.

Please, no more apologies.

Oh, this is something different.

I fixed it.

What? How?

EVA:
The ink's barely dry.

One spanking-new
accreditation certificate,

Dr. Richardson.

How did you accomplish this?

When was the inspection?

They finished this morning.

TED:
That usually takes weeks
to set up.

I talked them into a rush job.

And whatever did you have
to do in exchange?

-Kat.
-What?

Isn't it important how
she represents the practice?

Did you also negotiate your way
out of the giant fine?

Maybe throw in a sew-in
or a manicure?

Oh, they waived it.

I did have to commit
a bit of m*rder, though.

What?

EVA:
Of my half-sister's reputation.

I told the board that our office
manager had left suddenly,

and the accreditation
certificate

slipped through the cracks.

Oh, they were
more than understanding.

At my expense.

Honey, I don't think
the fashion world will care.

Everybody wins.

Eva, I am so impressed.

I hope this erases any doubts

of you belonging
to the practice.

You saved us.

After almost losing us.

Well, now that this is
all cleared up,

I better get back
to our temporary office.

No, no.
No need, no need for that.

Take a long lunch.

You have any more work
from the office?

Work from home.

Okay? You just saved
Carlton and me

a ton of time and money.

You deserve a break.

Thanks, Ted.

And thanks
for taking the hit, Kat.

It's not like any of this was
your fault.

Oh, a wine bar?

Firefighter Derek,
you do not surprise.

Unless you're picking me up
in that big fire rig,

I can drive myself.

See, now, I don't know
if you're trying

to convince me
chivalry still exists

or you're just trying
to make Ashley jealous.

Things are getting
a little hectic around here.

I'll circle back.

Hi, Nurse Ashley.

-Are we just pretending now?
-Pardon?

That you weren't just
telling a certain someone

that you're trying
to make me jealous?

[scoffs] I'm s--

Oh, Dr. Montgomery.
Anything we can do for you?

Thanks, Shanice, but actually,
I was looking for Ashley.

Oh. How can I help you?

I wanted to talk to you
about Ms. Milman's chart.

You asked the attending
for a neurological consult?

Well, yeah,
she came in for a stint,

but I noticed something odd

when she was smiling
at her granddaughter,

and I suspected
she might be having a TIA.

Nice catch.

Just a few months on the job,
and you're already a step ahead.

Thanks, Dr. Montgomery,

but I would never have noticed

if I hadn't been shadowing
Shanice with Mr. Hamilton.

Learn to take a compliment,
Nurse Morgan.

I know you must be
anxious about Allison.

You'll be able to see her
after Shanice and Ashley

finish bandaging her up
and I examine her.

I know she's in good hands.

And whatever's going through
that big brain of yours,

it isn't what you think.

Just tell me what happened
to your girlfriend.

I need it for her chart.

Whoa. All right.

Yes, I happened to get
somebody that I know

to the hospital because
she was injured and bleeding.

But you're my girlfriend,
Madison, and I love you.

I'm asking now as a doctor.

Her doctor.

How did the patient get
these injuries?

Allison fell on the sidewalk
outside of Orphey Gene's.

Did you see her fall?

No, but I saw the blood
coming from her head

and the tears in her eyes.

Okay.

Wait. Are you suggesting
that she faked it?

While she was at it,
I'm surprised she didn't fake

some memory loss
and pretend to have forgotten

about your breakup.

What was I supposed to do?
Get her an Uber?

What if she passed out
on the way?

Did she mention
why she happened to be

at Orphey Gene's
when you were there?

Was she coming to see you?

Is this Dr. Montgomery asking
or my girlfriend?

The only date that I had there
was with Kat.

You meant to talk business
over breakfast,

-like you often do?
-Right.

Where is this coming from?

We're good, aren't we?

I got to check on my patient.

[sighs]

There were a million girl groups
when you started.

What made
the Articulettes so magical?

Teamwork made the dream work.

Only someone quit the team.

We told our story,

what it meant to live,

to love, to hurt, to want.

And people saw themselves
in our songs.

When it was right,

it was like we were three sides
for the same person.

No. Four.

And there's the rub.

We wouldn't even be if Barbara
hadn't brought us together.

And even though we've reached
the highest of heights...

you two have never forgiven me.

And I haven't forgiven myself.

We can't turn back the clock.

But we can start over.

Forget about
the rehearsal fight, huh?

But never forget about Barbara.

Make each step forward

a step which would make
those four girls proud.

I thought the music
could heal us.

But the mistakes of the past get

in the way of everything,
don't they?

Those mistakes don't just
belong to you.

We have to own those, too,

when it comes
to our missing sister.

And maybe we can forgive
ourselves and each other.

Or is it too late for that?

Maybe the ghosts never go.

But the music is still here.

And you all have magic left.

If not now, when?

I am so impressed
with what Eva accomplished.

Can you maybe turn the proud dad
vibe down to, like, 11?

It's making me nauseous.

Deep down, businesswoman
mentoring businesswoman,

you have to be impressed, too.

I would have never
created the situation

in the first place.

Hmm. You never made a mistake
when you started?

Eva took initiative
and corrected hers.

She's working hard
to earn a clean slate.

One small win doesn't erase
who she is.

Who she is, is your sister.

Half sister.

There's no halves
when it comes to blood.

It runs through the both of you,
and that means something.

I'm hoping one day it'll mean
some kind of real relationship.

It means you should have
never sneezed

in the direction
of Leslie Thomas.

You know, you being cute
isn't so cute anymore.

Not when you're talking
about what could be

the end of my marriage.

I'm sorry, Dad.

Eva's not to blame
for the affair.

Almost all of her errors are
a product of mine.

Well, I already have a sister.
Chelsea's my ride or die.

That's because you've known her
your whole life.

But hating Eva is not going
to make what I did go away.

Have you forgotten?

She hurt Mom. She hurt me.

That was all Dana.

And me.

Do you really think
when Leslie goes to jail,

you can just throw away
the key on it all?

Eva should be
in a cell with her.

Instead, we're all
paying the price

while she's still her mother's
loyal little puppet.

Because she made a mistake
with some paperwork?

Look around, Dad.

Where's Mom? Where's home?

And where is she?

You are literally
living in a hotel with her.

She's running your business.

Her claws are
in everything I care about.

My dad...

my job.

My boyfriend.

Wait, honey,
you think Eva's after Tomas?

I don't think. I know.

Great minds.

Great coffee.

"Why do we pin our meetings
on coincidence

when fate is the culprit?"

Ah, chapter 25.

I finished at like 2:00 a.m.
and ending with Lark

-and Sablemist just inches
from each other.
-Oh, my gosh.

Then finally, that kiss?

That was...

BOTH:
Fire.

Great minds again.

I thought you were
arguing for fate.

I was just... I was showing off.

I devoured House of Lord Astrant
last night and--

Hey, no spoilers.

I can lend you book two,

but I don't want to get
in the way

of your crazy workload.

I can handle it.

Your new job must be cake

if you have time
to finish that opus.

Kat mentioned that you're
running your dad's office.

Oh, I wish.

But truth is, I damn near
lost that job already.

Thanks to Kat.

I don't want
to paint Kat the villain

or put you in the middle.

Just tell me what happened.

All I wanted to do was
impress my dad, you know?

There was
this certificate thingy

that I didn't file in time

and it became
this whole code blue mess.

Eva, everyone stumbles
in the beginning.

It's how you learn.

I know that in my head,

but it felt like suddenly
I was losing all the ground

I had gained with Ted.

Anyway, I sweet-talked the board

and it's all good now.

That's how it's done.
Textbook execution.

Thanks.

And if it hadn't worked out,
that'd be okay, too.

Your relationship
with your dad doesn't depend

on your performance at work.

I'll keep telling myself that.

But what you said before,

what does all this
have to do with Kat?

Look, I really
shouldn't say anything.

Spill, Eva. I want to know.

I got an assist
from my half sis.

Ted thought that
he would help us bond

by having Kat train me
for the new job,

as if we were ever gonna
end up being besties.

Kat told me

that the accreditation
wasn't a priority.

Any chance that you might have
misunderstood her instructions?

I took notes, Tomas.

She told me to ignore
the messages from the board.

She literally muted
the notifications

right there in front of me.

It wasn't a mistake.

I know that Kat's been having
a hard time accepting you,

but damn...

to set you up like that.

I shouldn't have believed her.

It was almost like
she was being nice to me.

But she had to have known
that you would tell your dad.

I think she was betting
on the fact that I wouldn't.

Why the hell not?

Because I just
couldn't burn her.

I've already cost my dad
so much.

No way I'm taking Kat
away from him, too.

Eva wouldn't go after Tomas when
she knows you're seeing him.

That's not who she is.

You're basing this all
on hurt feelings that are just--

I'm basing it off her actions.

She's everywhere Tomas is,
all at once.

You do know the DMV's
a big small town?

There's a difference
between plan and coincidence.

Oh, so she just coincidentally

invited Tomas up
to her hotel room?

Tomas told you that?

EVA:
Nah.

Keep it as long as you need,

And maybe we can even
link up later

to discuss your favorite parts.

It doesn't matter how I know.

Eva's a snake.

She lured him up to her room

under false pretenses
so she could pounce.

She invited him up
to loan him some stupid

dragon fantasy romance book
or whatever.

She thought book talk
would lead to pillow talk.

Honey, it takes two.

Lending someone a book isn't
exactly a move,

-is it?
-Anything could be a move.

You fell for Leslie
while she was pouring coffee.

Eva's probably plotting,

right now,
ways to get close to him.

And since he's as naive
about her as you are,

he won't see it coming.

She's all set.

So, Doc, am I a goner?

Not even close.

Let Shanice or Ashley know
if the pain gets worse

or if you feel dizzy
or your vision changes.

I'll order a few tests
to get a better look

at what's going on
in that head of yours.

How is she?

You can answer
any of Chelsea's questions.

I don't mind.

We'll need to walk and talk.
I have other patients.

Okay.

Chelsea.

-Hmm?
-You'll be back?

Sure.

door closes]

So?

Allison is alert.

She knows who and where she is.

And she's not
in any significant pain.

But she did take
a pretty big fall,

so we're checking
for a concussion,

just to be sure.

I've ordered an X-ray
and a CT scan just to be safe.

And you believe me now?

I mean, I know I'm supposed
to be all that,

but it's not like girls are
banging their heads

against the sidewalk
to get to me.

-[chuckles]
-That's not funny, Chelsea.

I have other patients to see.

I remember the first time I saw
the three of you on stage.

I was already madly in love
with Miss Anita.

But, Tracy, you were right.

As the Articulettes, you became
more than individual singers.

You became the music.

And that music moved me.

It moved the world.

How many people did you inspire?

Other singers, certainly,
but regular people

of all ages and all classes

all over the world.

And we all could still use

a little more
Articulettes magic.

I know it's more complicated

than just the millions
of fans out there

or this one fanboy in here.

But maybe you could try again

without piling on
all the pressure of

solving all of the hurts
in one concert.

Maybe you could start
right where you are.

Rent a studio here.

Strip it down to you,
the music and what's possible.

ANITA:
The music.

Not what we lost.

What we have.

The music.

The music.

Better together?

ALL:
Sisters forever.

Articulettes strong.

And I will take care
of everything and...

I will text you
a couple of studio

and time slot options,
and we will make plans together.

Thanks, Anita.

We appreciate
having the options.

All right,
we'll be in touch tomorrow.

Okay.

Bye, darling.

-Thank you.
-Bye, ladies.

Bye, Vernon.

Now, I am very familiar
with your peacemaking tactics,

but I have never heard you
refer to yourself as a fanboy.

[laughs]

I was this close to adding

something about Beyoncé
and Megan Thee Stallion,

but I felt it was too much.

-[laughs] Maybe.
-[laughs]

I missed that laugh.

Yes.

But you, sir,
are not off the hook

for not telling me sooner

about what's going on
with Martin.

Never again, Vernon.

Never.

Are you not telling me
because of my condition?

Parents-to-be shouldn't have
any secrets from each other.

Mm. Playing
the parent card already.

Baby, I always tell you
everything

when the time is right.

Yeah, and that time is usually

right before
I discover it myself.

Like when you had Tomas spy
on the harassment board,

-or Ted Richardson being--
-We got a little busy

with baby-making

and my round trip to
the other side of the living,

but, well, I should tell you

that I also asked Tomas

to gather a little intel
for my kids, too.

What?

-Why?
-Well, because all I want are

good surprises from here on out.

So I set up an early
warning system, and...

Tomas is it.

How can you still be
protecting Kat with your dad?

Look, I'm no hero.

You know my rap sheet
from when I first got to town.

It's like Kat flicks a switch
when it comes to you.

She's supposed to be
better than this.

Your perfect little princess
isn't so perfect, huh?

You're making up
for your mistakes,

but Kat is stuck
in this revenge loop.

She intentionally tried
to hurt you.

Maybe it's good we never...

Never what?

ALLISON:
Please.

Hospitals make me nervous.

They do the same to my dad,
but Madison--

Dr. Montgomery-- took
the best care of him.

Are you in any pain?

My head hurts a lot.

You don't have to hide
your feelings from me.

You don't have to call her
"Dr. Montgomery."

I know you two are
whatever you are.

In love.

We're in love, Allison.

I just didn't want to rub it in
your face when you're hurting.

I'll have my cousin,
the congressman,

take a look at that sidewalk.

If you had fallen any harder,

-I would hate to--
-Chelsea...

I-I didn't fall.

MADISON:
Just text me when you get

-Allison's test results.
-Will do, Doctor.

About earlier--

I spy a love triangle.

Dr. Montgomery,
Chelsea Hamilton,

our new patient? Whew.

You can cut that tension
with a scalpel.

Okay.

Well, speaking of,
before Chelsea rolled in,

you were saying something to
Derek about making me jealous.

Oh, I think you have me
confused with someone else.

-Who?
-You.

You were the one who stood
in this very same spot

oohing and aahing
over Andre Richardson.

As if Derek couldn't hear you.

I don't think I ever heard you
whisper that loud.

-That is not what I was doing.
-Look, Ashley,

I don't blame a girl
for being a little bit greedy.

They're both snacks.

But I would appreciate you
not stepping to me on it.

Glass houses and all that.

What happened?

Or who?

Oh, Allison. Not Craig.

He pushed me so hard,
I lost my balance.

I hit the side
of the kitchen table,

and he started crying.

He wanted to take me
to urgent care,

but I wouldn't let him touch me.

I told him that he'd never
touch me again.

I just had to get out of there
as fast as I could.

Good for you.

I always thought he was too
boring for you, but not this.

-Was it the first time?
-It was the last.

He thought that I-I hadn't
gotten over you.

I'm sorry I lied to you.

I just didn't want you to think
it had anything to do with you.

Why did you go to Orphey Gene's
and not the hospital?

Because...

because that's where you were.

I was driving straight to you.

Wait, what is it that you're
glad you and Kat didn't do?

I was just reacting
to what Kat did to you

and what you didn't do.

How could you keep
a secret like that?

I didn't. I told you.

Yeah, I won't say anything to
Kat about it. You can trust me.

I can, can't I?

Look, I know it sounds stupid,

but there haven't been
any people

in my life that I can trust.

I'm sorry for that.

Maybe trust is rare.

Like fate.

Thank you, Tomas.

I think this is just
your imagination

looking for ways to put a wall
between you and Eva.

Sometimes people are just bad.

And sometimes they make mistakes

they shouldn't be allowed
to come back from.

sh**t. I got to go.

All right.

-Love you.
-Love you.

Wait, so you asked Tomas to spy
on Chelsea and Naomi?

Relax, mama bear, okay?

All I did was ask him
to keep an ear out

with his girlfriend Kat.

That way I can make
my temporary détente

with my girls
into something more lasting.

Oh, so instead of just
maybe texting your kids more,

you went the Hamilton way.

I love how you don't judge.
You get me.

I do. Okay?

But if I ever catch you spying

on our little bundle of joy
without me...

Noted.

Come here, lady.

[phone buzzes]

Yeah?

Have you seen the paper?

Which one? I read all of them.

You know which one
I'm talking about.

Hold that thought.

Um... babe,
I need to get something

from the conference room.

No secrets, my a*s.

[scoffs]

Hey, it's me.

Are you okay?
You had me worried.

Do you need anything?

All right. All right. Uh...

Yeah, I'll be in touch.
