"Apples Never Fall"...


I'm joined today
by the Delaney family

as we make it
known to the public

that Joy Delaney
has gone missing.

Stan Delaney,
did you k*ll your wife?

Dad took out one
of my rental boats


the night that
Mom went missing.


I found out
from the security logs.


You should be
with your family right now.

Or at the very least,
blowing through your grief

with some senseless activity.

Tarin, this is
my fiancée, Brooke.

Now I'm not
even sure the cops


are even looking at Savannah.

Is there anything else that
you can remember about her?

I can't.
Sorry.

My family thinks I'm crazy.

I don't.

The forensic team just
brought something they

found in Joy's nightstand.

It's clear about
intention to self-harm.

Is this you, Amy?

Mom saved me every day.

You really ought to put
the screws to Brooke.

She f*cked Savannah a lot.

[tense music]

Anybody here?

Hey, Brooke.

[Kn*fe clangs]

You really didn't
have to help.

Are you kidding?

I wasn't going to let
you clean up this

Delaney mess all on your own.

So who asked who?

Hm?

Gina. Who proposed?

Well, it wasn't
really like that.

It was more of a conversation.

A joint decision
we just sort of made.

Your mom has so many ideas.

The flowers, the DJ,
the chargers.

Yeah, I think my mom's more
excited about this wedding

than I am.

Oh, that's not good.

I'm kidding.

Of course--
of course I'm excited.

I'm--Gina, she's amazing.

What's up with that waitress?

What?

Who?

I saw the way
she was looking at Gina,

and the way Gina
was looking at her.

If I were in your shoes,
I'd be freaking out too.

I saw something.

A text message.

What did Gina say when
you asked her about it?

Uh...

You didn't ask her
about it, did you?

I think Gina is an idiot.

I wouldn't cheat on you.

Sorry, what was that?

I'm just saying,
she doesn't cherish you.

If you were mine,
I'd treat you like a princess.

What were you thinking?

I don't know.

Excuse me?

I don't know what
I was thinking.

We're trying
to find your mom,

and you've been
withholding information.

You're--you're bordering
on obstruction of justice.

It was a stupid mistake, OK?

But it has nothing
to do with my mom.

You sure about that?

Because you don't know
what happened to your mom,

and we don't know
anything about Savannah.

What can you tell us about her?

Any other names she went by,
where she was from?

Savannah was the only name
that she ever used.

Um, she said
she was from Atlanta.

She had a little tattoo on
her ankle, a little palm tree.

And uh, she had a scar
on her stomach.

What did you talk about when
it was just the two of you?

Uh, my family, my--

my physical therapy practice.

Um, my wedding.

Ever talk about her?

Well, not that much, I guess.

Was she ever
violent, jealous?

Um, violent, no.

Jealous, maybe a little, but
it was a complicated situation.

How'd things end between you?

It was never going to work.

I'm engaged.

Did you ever hear from her?

No.

Never.

When was the last time
you had contact?

Same as everyone else
in my family.

About seven months ago.

You have any way
to get in touch with her?

Address, phone, email?

If--if I knew where she was,
I would tell you, I swear.

You're going
to find her, right?

Savannah?

My mom.

I'm not going to lie,

Stranger shows up, moves into

Yeah. No blood.

I have to tell you.

Some--something I should
have told you a while ago.

What is it?

I...

I know you're sleeping
with Tarin.

- What?
- Tarin, from the restaurant.

Yeah, I--I know who she is.
I'm not sleeping with her.

I saw your phone.

The photo she sent you.
- When? What photo?

The same night you offered me
the money to help my practice.

Is that why you did it?

So you could feel better
about cheating on me?

I gave you that money
because I love you

and I believe in you.

I never slept with her.

Wait, what?

You never slept--

We talked a lot.

We flirted.

Yes, she sent a pic, which--
which is f*cked, I know.

But I--I never
crossed that line.

It was only for a few weeks.
I cut it off.

Why are you asking me about
this after all this time?

- She--she still calls you.
- She works for me.

She runs the front
of the house.

If she's not calling me,
she's not doing her job.

So what, it was
an emotional affair?

No.

Maybe. I don't know.

Yeah.

All you got to do is

Let's face it,

there's someone
I need to thank.

Lucia.

[cheers and applause]

She did more to put this event

So, Lucia, come on.
Get up here.

Let's--

A toast to Lucia.

An inspiring environmentalist,

a partner at Fortino,

my brilliant, beautiful wife.

all: Aww.

Oh, look at that.

Yeah.

Waffles, shut the f*ck up!

Tigo Erickson?

Who's asking?

[dog whining]

What did you call her?

Savannah.

Not sure I can help much,

seeing as I thought
she was Amelia.

I bet you could still help.

When did you meet Amelia?

Couple years ago.

I was into pills at the time.

We pulled a few jobs.

- Was she using?
- No.

She just needed
a place to stay.

She crashed here on and off--

[dog barking]

Then skipped town
after her bail hearing.

Took my car with her, too.

- Did you report it stolen?
- Nah.

It was a beater,
on its last legs.

It wasn't worth going after.

Well, have you
heard from her since?

[dog barking]

Oh, you don't
have to tell us.

We could always come back
with a warrant.

About six months ago,
she showed up.

She gave me


She wanted to pay me back for
the car, for letting her stay.



That's a lot of money.
- No sh*t.

[laughs]
Way more than the car was worth.

As far as I'm concerned,
she's a nice girl.

Troubled, but she means well.

Do you know how to reach her?

I don't.

You know, she may have left
a few things behind.

I can check the garage
if you want to wait.

That'd be great.

So Savannah arrived
at the Delaneys' with nothing,

You OK?

No, not really.

My mom's gone.

My family's a sh*t show.

I've never had a real

Never had a real job, either.

Clearly,
commitment's hard for me.

I tend to sabotage good things.

my hair starts falling out.

OK.

Yeah, probably.

I slept with Savannah.

That's why the cops

I cheated on you with Savannah.

What?

Why?

I'm still figuring
that out, exactly.

But I think I did it

Your business was booming.

Mine wasn't, and...

because in my head,
you were cheating on me.

How did you know

Uh...

I qualified for this minor
tournament in New York.

It was decent money
for a women's tournament.

So I drove all the way
up there by myself,

and I stayed
in a very cheap motel.

And I was--

The first round,

I was up against
this French-Canadian woman

with arms like you
wouldn't believe.

And I walk out onto the court--

have I told you this?

I don't think so.

OK, well, I walk up
to the line to serve, and--

Dad called your name?

No, he didn't need to.

I spotted his eyes.

I just felt them on me.

I just--

I smiled, he smiled back.

I mean, we'd only been
dating a month or so,

and he drove 19 hours
just to watch me.

Gah. That's when I knew.

Cold feet?

I'm sure it'll pass.

Yeah, maybe.

Maybe not.

The cold feet.
They might not pass.

You don't think
I should marry Gina?

I didn't say that.
I love Gina.

Everybody loves Gina.
What's not to love?

But?

Well, are you happy?

I don't know.

Well...

there will always
be reasons to leave.

The important question is, are
there better reasons to stay?

Just listen to your heart.

Come inside.

Come on.

From when she stayed here.

It's all crap,
but it's yours if you want it.

Thanks.

Ugh.
