- Hi, my love.
- [Chrishell] Hello.

I feel like I'm on the catwalk
or something, to come see you.

[Chrishell] Hi.

I'm gonna be chilly out here.
Should I sit here?

- Yes.
- I'm excited to chitchat and catch up.

See you after all the things, it's nice.

- I feel like there's a lot going on.
- This is calm. I was like, "Okay."

"Let's have a coffee." Like, 'cause...

I might have a chamomile, like,
or, like, a de-stressor tea or something.

I don't know. Um, but work is good.

I mean, I feel like I closed
on a lot of listings all at one time.

I'm actually working with...

I think I told you,
my client, Thomas Bryant.

- He's the NBA player.
- Yes, basketball.

I always have heels on too,
and I just talk to him like...

- That's so funny. You'll break your neck!
- I should tease Jason. [laughs]

Be like,
"Jason, I understand how it feels."

I'm so mean. The other day, I was like,
"What are you guys, like, 5'2"?"

He's like...

- I think 5'5".
- 5'5". Yeah, I think 5'5".

But they have swag, I feel.
They get away with it.

Hello, of course, yeah.

I mean, they always get,
like, the hottest girls.

- I know.
- Supermodels. I'm like...

They're just confident.
It's all about confidence.

They're just, like you said, swaggy,
and, like, nice, and...

So nice.

- [server] Here's your stuff.
- [Chrishell] Oh, my goodness.

- [Heather] Ooh! This looks good.
- [server] Thank you.

- [Heather] Thank you.
- [server] My pleasure.

Cheers. So L.A., can I just say?

What is going on here? Like, what?

The boat was fun.

You obviously met Tarek's friend Robert.

[intriguing music plays]

It's just, like,
I'm my own real, formed person now,

and I wasn't before.

And so I want to meet someone
that allows me to be the same.

Not, like,
"Okay, now I'm gonna dominate you, and..."

- Yeah.
- I don't want that.

We knew that it might not work out,
and it didn't.

The boat sank.

The boat sank.
The boat definitely sank. [laughs]

- You're sweet.
- [server] I have a coffee for Christine!

God, she can't leave us alone.

- Is she sneakily, like, here somewhere?
- [chuckles]

I wouldn't put it past her if she had
a recording device in the bushes.

God! Seriously!

What's going on with that situation?

I'm getting a stress rash.

I get stress rashes.

Like, I really do, I suffer.

- It happens when I'm stressed out.
- Should we talk about something else?

I actually haven't had
a stress rash in a while.

No, to be honest. Until bringing her up.

Oh, no!

What about
when she's actually in the office?

[sighs]

I know.

Well, I have decided
I am not gonna invite her to the wedding.

- You have?
- Yeah.

I honestly, moving forward,
want nothing to do with her.

Is there, like, a latest...

- [voice breaks] I don't wanna go there.
- Okay, okay.

[melancholic music playing]

[sobbing] I just hate her
so much right now.

She's causing a lot of stress in my life.

Like, you know, it's not okay.

I know, I know.

Oh, I'm sorry. I know it was stressful.

I just wanna, like, move past it,

but she's trying
to drag me into her bullshit.

Emma and her dated the same person,

and then I dated him seven years ago.

- I was 27 years old.
- Who cares?

And she's bringing it up to Vanessa.

Heather was dating him too!

So after you broke up,
he was dating Heather.

Yeah.

Then two months later,
he was engaged to Emma.

- Yeah.
- Oh, wow.

It's ridiculous.

I found out
she's bringing it up to Maya and Davina.

Why does she even care?
She's married with a baby.

Who gives a f*ck?

It's so f*cking irrelevant.

It wasn't even a boyfriend.
It was so short-lived.

So it has nothing to do
with my relationship.

Tarek could care less.
This was irrelevant in our lives.

I'm mad at Christine,

because, unless you were
purposely trying to, like, cause drama,

you wouldn't have brought
my name into your drama.

I think I'm realizing
the type of human that she is,

and that's, like,
making me really upset to my core

because I don't understand
how someone can be so evil.

- She'll have nothing to work with.
- Girl...

None of us are gonna speak to her.
She's gone through everyone.

It's just been things
over and over to me and the girls,

and she doesn't know when to stop.

There's power in knowing
exactly who is doing these things.

She's the bully.

But she's been gone a long time,
and we are dictating now, not her.

Honestly, the only bridge I'm waiting
for her to burn is the one with Jason.

- Hello.
- [Brett] Hey.

- Hi.
- [Sean] Hey.

- Just talking about you.
- [Vanessa] Really? Hi.

- Yeah. Good to see you.
- You too.

This is my boy Sean.

- Hi. Nice to meet you, Sean.
- Welcome.

Oh, my God, what a house!

- [both men] I know.
- [gasps] This is breathtaking.

You're gonna be the dominating force
for the Oppenheim Group in Malibu,

so these are the types of homes
we want you to start selling.

I have someone in mind already.

- Yeah?
- Yeah.

She walks in the door and has a client.

Look at this.
You get the best of the best.

♪ We coming in fresh ♪

You cannot b*at
a view like this in Malibu.

[Vanessa] This is insane, honestly.

♪ It feels so good ♪

[Sean] About 13,000 square feet,
it's five bedroom, seven bath.

It's listed at 49,995.

So we're sitting on top of Carbon Beach,
also known as Billionaires' Beach.

But if you're too lazy
to go to the beach, look.

[Vanessa laughs]

♪ You watching this? ♪

♪ Lemme show you what's next ♪

This is Trillionaires' Beach.
That's Billionaires' Beach.

- [Sean] That's what we should call it.
- [Vanessa] Gorgeous.

[Brett] It is.

[Sean] Down here,
this is the entertainer's den.

[pop music playing]

- [Vanessa] What?!
- [Brett] This is the man cave.

This is the room
I would personally never leave.

Of course. Look at that screen!

Look at the custom bar,
and connected to the entertainment den...

♪ I'mma give you extra ♪

[Sean] ...take a look at this.

- [Vanessa] Wow!
- This is the spa.

This, to me, rivals most luxury spas.

This is one of my favorite parts.

[Vanessa] It feels like vacation.

As you can see,
right here we have the fitness center.

There's also a massage room.

Everything you need to relax
and unwind is all downstairs.

Should we go upstairs?

- [Vanessa] God, I can't wait.
- Wait 'til you see this.

[brash pop music playing]

The master bedroom is...

Literally, you're gonna feel
like the king or queen of Malibu.

[Vanessa] Oh, my God.

[Sean] Imagine waking up here
every single morning.

♪ I know you gonna love
What I'mma give you ♪

♪ Yeah, can't wait
To hear you say, "Oo-wee..." ♪

Oh, wow!

Let me show you over here.
We have the en-suite bathroom.

- [Vanessa] Wow.
- [Sean] Look at this closet.

[Vanessa] Oh, my God!

Wow, wow, wow.

What kind of buyer
do you think will get this listing?

[Vanessa] Honestly,
the person that I have in mind in Mexico,

he's a super wealthy man,

I think he will buy this
as an investment or second home,

because this is, I mean...

You can't get anything like this
anywhere in Malibu.

I'm sure you can see
sunrise and sunset from here,

depending on the time of the year, right?

- You get full 180 sunset.
- Okay.

- Sunrise through sunset in here.
- Yeah.

That's the most beautiful house
I've ever seen.

This is exactly why I wanted
to be a part of the O Group,

so I really can get
this caliber of real estate,

and to really become
more successful in this.

[Brett] Hell of a home.
Thank you for the tour.

- Hopefully you find a buyer.
- I will.

I'm gonna make it happen.

[Christine] Okay.

God, thank God I wore panties today.

You had to. You're on your period.

No, I haven't had my period since 1942.

- I was on birth control for so long.
- Long time.

You guys have any questions?

She's pregnant, I just had a baby,
we're all on our periods.

- Nice.
- We're having the time of our life.

- Yeah, I'm on my cycle too.
- [laughs]

I love it.

Our Collagen Protect is, like, really good
for hydration from the inside out.

A lot of women experience
dryness after pregnancy.

I'm like SpongeBob SquarePants down there.
Usually I just do, like, the lick and go.

- TMI!
- Lately I'm like, "Oh, my God!"

What is the lick and go?
I never heard of it.

I read a lot of pregnancy books,
but that wasn't in any of them.

Cheers. Cheers, guys.

[Davina] So cute.

- [Christine] When did you get here?
- [Maya] Yesterday afternoon.

Heather and Tarek's boat party
was yesterday.

How was that?

It was really good, you know.

We had a nice boat.

Jason brought up the fact
that you're coming back.

Oh, good.

The girls, you know...
I think you should talk to them.

- [Christine slurping]
- Um...

They weren't...

[sighs] That was really good, thank you.

- [laughs] They weren't too supportive.
- [Christine] What did they have to say?

Well, Chrishell was obviously not a fan.

- So...
- Of course.

She just says, you know, like,
we need the positive energy at the office,

so that was her.

Then Emma was saying that someone
just messaged her about her ex,

with, like, some fake account
in a DM on social media.

- She thinks it's you.
- This is recently, she said?

[Maya] It was at the boat party.

She showed some messages.
She said this happens all the time.

No! That is not me!
Like, I don't have time for that sh*t.

If that bitch thinks
I'm sending her messages, that's crazy.

I have no time or energy
for any of this drama.

I think that these girls are so obsessed

with an old version of me
that no longer exists,

which really says more about them
than it does about me.

The way that, you know,
her and I left it from the dog party,

everything was good.

I don't think so, Christine.
I think you guys need to talk.

She was like,
"Christine was not honest with me."

"Some of the stuff
that she told me were not true."

Everything that I told her
was 100% accurate.

- You know, my engagement...
- Which engagement?

- With your ex?
- Yeah.

I didn't know you were engaged.

I wasn't telling people
because I never even wore the ring.

Christine is saying that
she didn't tell anyone she was engaged.

But then she told Mary she told Davina,

so Davina knew she was engaged.

So I'm just a little bit confused.

Did he propose to you officially,

or say, "Hey, I love you,
let's get married"?

In his house, he got down
on his knee. A whole thing.

- He got down on his knee? Wow.
- Yeah.

Do I believe Christine was engaged?

She's never lied to me before,

and I trust her,

but I'm a bit jarred
that Christine didn't mention it.

I don't know what to think.
I really don't know what to think.

When did he propose to you,
and when did you break up?

- He proposed right before we broke up.
- Oh, really?

- Then you just broke up and that's it?
- Yeah.

And then I found out that,
two months later, Emma got engaged.

And I don't know
what her ring looks... I never saw it.

Mine was a square,
long, rectangular emerald cut.

I never saw her ring,
but I just heard that they were engaged,

and I said, "How convenient."

No, but the ring... It's funny.
So my friend, he's a jeweler.

He called me, said, like,

"Hey, this guy at your office,
he just got engaged."

But he mentioned Emma's name,
so I know he made the ring for Emma.

- Wow.
- [Maya] Yeah.

I listened to all the points
from Mary and Emma,

and they all make sense.

So I don't believe
Christine was engaged either.

You know,
beyond all this relationship drama,

which is beyond irrelevant,

I want Emma
to get to know me for me today.

But when people are mad at each other,

and there is still something
that needs to be...

- [Davina] Worked out?
- Worked out with Mary and Emma.

Like, not to bring sh*t up,
but, like, I almost f*cking d*ed.

I don't give a f*ck
about any of this stupid, petty drama.

I was flatlining, my baby was flatlining.

Like, this is real sh*t.
This is real life.

Yeah.

So if these girls
wanna bitch about, you know,

"You said this to me,
and you hurt my feelings,"

honey, I don't got time for that sh*t.

I have real life, I have real stuff to do.
I'm selling houses. I wanna make money.

- This is business.
- Exactly.

You guys are the mean girls.
You guys are the nasty ones.

And I'm tired of them spinning it on me.

[chuckles] Right?
I knew you were gonna love this.

- [Simu] I see somebody was listening.
- Yes.

[Simu] Oh, it just feels
like such a great Hollywood...

Like, I've arrived,
like it's a statement piece.

Oh, you have arrived. This is...

the absolute epitome
of indoor/outdoor living.

- Absolutely.
- Which I know you said you loved.

Fifty-two hundred square feet.

♪ We're living that good, good life ♪

♪ We're living that good, good life ♪

- The seller is a gamer.
- [Simu] Wow.

While looking for homes for Simu,
I came across this home

that was bought by a serious gamer.

I can't believe that this house
was bought with gaming money.

Maybe I'm in the wrong business.

I know you wanted a basketball court.

You know what? I put that in my wish list.

I understand. In the Hills,
it's tough getting that kind of land.

That was a little hard.
I just don't want you to think I forgot.

No, no.

You said it was important to have a house
that your family can come

and stay with you.

They would lose their minds, by the way,

if they knew
that I lived in a place like this.

You have exploded,

so I wanna make sure
I'm getting you the home

that you don't wanna
then change in a couple years.

I understand, I understand.

I still can't get over
how close to Sunset we are.

- I know.
- This is like a total retreat.

[Chrishell] If you lived here,
you'd have to walk around like this.

- [Simu] Like this?
- That's what I would do.

- [Simu] I feel it.
- King of the world!

[Simu sighs] You could do it naked,

with how high the hedges are.

You don't need clothes at all.

- 100%. Never.
- [Simu laughs]

♪ Hello, hello, oh... ♪

This is your walk to your primary suite.

[Simu] Okay.

The whole place just looks
like it came out of a catalog.

[Chrishell] Look at this,
right off the primary suite.

[Simu] Wow.

Maybe you feel the same way.

I grew up in this, like, builder house

in the middle of, you know,
some suburb outside of Toronto.

This is just so far beyond
anything I ever imagined for myself.

This is how I just felt,
buying my own home.

How far, you know,
you've come in this moment,

that you're looking at houses like this,
and you remember where you come from.

Honestly, it still makes me emotional
'cause it's so exciting.

Now you can have your family here,

and feel like, you know,
everyone's excited to come to your house.

Yeah.

- Let me show you the bathroom.
- Yeah.

Are you a bath guy,
or do you not take baths?

- [Simu] Absolutely, yes. Can I try it?
- Please.

Feel like this could be yours.

Oh!

- Looks cozy.
- It just fits.

There's one more thing
that I have to show you.

- Time to go to the roof.
- [Simu] Let's do it.

- Let's do it. I'm excited to show you.
- [Simu] Okay.

- The crown jewel.
- Oh, my God.

[Chrishell] I mean...

[grunts] I love the view so much,
I tripped on the way.

- Wait, did you?
- Oh, 100%. I'm okay.

No, I'm totally okay.

- [Chrishell] I will say it's at 9.75.
- Okay.

So, overall, what do you think?

You definitely succeeded in getting me
to fall in love with the place.

The question is, do you have
the negotiating superpower

to bring it just a little bit down,
inside the budget range?

Are you gonna be my superhero?

- I will try my best to be a superhero.
- I appreciate that.

What would my superpower be? Negotiation?

Yeah, it would be
like being able to walk into a room,

everyone looks at you,
and you have control.

Okay.

Coming from a superhero himself,
he might be on to something.

So let me go in
and see how much chopping we can do.

Also remember all those,
you know, sequels you're doing...

- [laughs]
- ...the rom-com you're doing,

the book you have coming out.

- Okay, yeah.
- You think about all that.

- Uh-huh.
- I'll go to work on my side.

I'll come back with you
and let you know where we land.

- Let's do it.
- Okay.

All right.

Oh, my goodness.

- Wow.
- Okay, I feel good about this.

- Let's run a bath before we...
- Yes, do it!

- Oh, my God, I almost...
- Every time, every time.

Hi.

Hey.

I'm getting drinks ready.
I figure you may want one.

So Amanza called me

beyond upset the other day
after leaving her attorney's office.

I might need your strong arms.
I can't get it!

I'll try.

I love her, and I wanna support her
and be there for her,

so I figured mimosas won't hurt.

- How do I...
- I know, I can't get it either.

- Bestie? Romain?
- [Amanza] Can we use your muscles?

- I can't open this.
- I can't let you drink.

- I'm trying to have my breakfast, damn it!

- I know she needs...
- Oh!

- [laughs]
- [Mary] What?

- That would have blew the f*ck up.
- [Mary laughs]

- [cork pops]
- [Mary exclaims]

[all laugh]

- [Amanza] Do you want...
- Just bring the whole thing.

- Okay.
- How are you doing, though, for real?

- Um...
- Are you, like, processing?

That's what they called it
in therapy. [laughs]

I don't even remember
talking to you on the phone.

I just know I called you first,
I was like, "I want Mary."

I've never seen you like that.

- You were just like... [gasping]
- Yeah.

I didn't go to the attorney's office
on Monday thinking that was gonna happen.

I just feel, like, numb.

My attorney was reading everything.
I'm on the other side of the desk.

I've never seen him so emotional,
and his eyes just, like, got teary-eyed.

And I'm like, "What?"

He's like... [mimics typing]

And he prints off a piece of paper,
then he takes a highlighter, like...

[mimics highlighter]

He turns it around,
slides it across the desk,

and he goes, "Read that."

Where's my phone?

I took a screenshot of it. It says...

Um, "Pursuant to penalty code 7827,

I voluntarily and willingly
give up legal rights

of Noah Brown and Braker Brown

and give full custody
to Miss Smith for their best interest,

so they no longer suffer
because of my mental incapability,

so they can live
a healthy and prosperous life..."

Typo! "A healthyand a prosperous life."

- Idiot.
- [chuckles]

And then the next page was the signature.

- And just like that, you just...
- Bye.

- ...give your kids up.
- Yeah.

I feel stupid that for f*cking two years...
This has been sitting!

Like, this is there. He gave them to me.

He gave them up.
He just gave his kids away two years ago.

You've been spending money,
fighting to get them in therapy.

Paying for private investigators.
Like, everything. Everything.

Like, you can't pick up the f*cking phone,
and just say, "I'm mentally incapable"?

"I love my children,
but my body's broken down," whatever?

Anything.

If I would have known
this paper was filed on November 2019...

I could have known
about this news two years ago.

It just makes me want...
It just makes me sick.

If everything that he said in that novel
of a "poor me" story was true,

which it's f*cking not because we know.

- You saw him months before.
- Yeah, I know.

Like, he was taking Noah to gymnastics.

The kids told me he was training.

He made it sound
as if he were like a vegetable.

"My body, from football, and..."
What about your kids?

What about your kids' hearts
from this? What about...

He has trauma now,

and in his letter, he's like...

Because he can't work, and he can't this.

He blew through all his money.
Wasn't because of child support!

I don't know
what the f*ck he did with the money.

- I didn't see it.
- Yeah.

For a year, I did.

"I didn't have a place to live."
And, you know, "My car got repossessed."

"I don't have a car now."

I still don't have a car
because I'm so behind,

and just starting to pay back
all this sh*t that I've paid for.

I slept on the couch
for f*cking a year and a half,

'cause when he left,
I gave the kids their own room.

I just don't f*cking get it.
I don't get it.

It was 280 pages of...

honestly, like, bullshit.

I believe that he has been affected
because of his NFL career and post,

but I just don't believe

it's to the extent
that he described in his letter.

It's f*cked up. Ugh.

I'm angry and I'm sad and I'm confused,

and I'm just, like...

[sniffles] I'm shocked.

I mean, how does the court not notify you?

Basically, he didn't have an attorney.
He was representing himself.

The court doesn't send out those letters.

The kids don't even know.
My daughter's at summer camp.

My son has no idea.

I have to figure out
how to have this conversation.

I don't know
what that's gonna feel like to them.

[sighs] I'm sorry.

Their little brains aren't gonna know
how much hope they're holding onto

until they hear that, like,
Daddy's not coming back.

[sad music playing]

[sighs]

I know Braker jokes it off.

I remember he said,

"What's the difference
between a boomerang and Dad?"

A boomerang comes back.

Somebody else might hear that
and think, like, "Oh."

"At least he's got a sense of humor
and he can..." It's a survival mechanism.

Yeah.

Everything my whole life
has been deflected with a joke

because everything that's happened
has been too hard to actually accept.

And so when I see
my kid doing that, it just, like...

It's... I'm like, "f*ck."

They've already been through so much.

I just feel like I can take so much,

but I can't stand
when something happens to my kids,

because it's my kids. [sobs]

- I love you.
- [Amanza sighs]

You're so strong.
You're gonna get through this.

I have to stay as strong as I can
because they don't have any other parent.

It's me. It's been just me for two years,

but now it's like, "Oh, f*ck," like...

This is just all on me. [breath catches]

I don't get to have a breakdown
and just go, "Here," hand them over.

I don't wanna accept
the fact that he would just...

leave his beautiful, beautiful kids.

I just can't accept it.

It's at the end of a private,
gated street on its own promontory

with 180 degrees unobstructed views.

It was first owned
by Slash from g*ns N' Roses.

- Oh!
- And now the pitcher for the Dodgers.

- And a six-car garage, we saw?
- Yeah. Two separate...

[Mary] That is insane!

- I'll add that in for you!
- Thank you.

- It's the best parking in the Hills.
- You don't get that in the Hills.

[Brett] Two separate side-by-side
three-car garages? It's incredible.

[Emma] Brett invited a few
of the agents over to his new listing

so that we could see
if we had any potential buyers

for this amazing house.

I work with a lot of celebrities,

and I think
because it's huge, nice and private,

I feel like it's a perfect house
for a celebrity.

♪ I know you want this ♪

- [Brett] Could use a little update.
- [Emma] A little love. Yeah.

There's views
from every room in this house.

- [Emma] Seriously?
- [Mary] I love how much light it lets in.

♪ I'mma keep it so old school
But I'm keeping it fresh ♪

- [Mary] This is a good size.
- [both] Yeah.

- It's a nice master. Little sitting area.
- High ceilings.

[Emma] Oh, wow. Nice view from the pool.
View from pretty much everywhere.

[Mary] Every single spot.

[Emma] Not a place
that doesn't have a view.

I'm glad you like it.
You're one of our best agents,

you're our new rising star.

I could always use help.

- 6.5? Okay.
- 6.5 million.

You'll have someone.
You have a ton of celebrity clients.

[Emma] Yeah. Like,
if anyone has you, we got you.

- [Davina] Hey, guys.
- Hey, good to see you.

Good to see you.

- You look amazing.
- Thank you. Thanks for inviting me.

- Do you wanna check out the pool?
- [Mary] Yeah.

[Emma] They have a lap pool. I like that.

- It's a beautiful house. Amazing.
- [Emma] Oh, my goodness, it really is.

And the views are basically
from every single direction. Oh, my God.

[Davina] So how have things been?

- Great!
- [all laugh]

They've been...

No, I mean, in the office and stuff,
they've been great.

- Yeah.
- Yeah.

How are things with Christine?

- There's all this chatter with Christine.
- Oh, really?

Maya was telling us how she talked
to you at Niko and Zelda's birthday.

[Emma] The dog party, yeah.

I don't know what happened there,
how your conversation went,

so I just wanna hear from you guys.

So, you know, I think it was probably hard
for her to have me come into the office,

so instead of just acting normal,

she thought it would be a really good idea
to make up this false narrative

and these lies
about situations that didn't happen.

- Are we talking about her engagement?
- Yeah.

I think it maybe made her feel,
in the moment,

that we are a little bit
on evened playing field.

Like, okay, he proposed to you,

which is obviously
what she did want him to do.

- He also proposed to me.
- She said you were the only one she told.

- I didn't even know her back then.
- That's what I thought too.

'Cause you came a year and a half later.

When I met her,
they were already broken up.

Already, right there,
her story doesn't add up.

She did mention they were engaged,
but it was more recent.

This is my point.

[dramatic music plays]

- [Vanessa] Hi.
- [Brett] What's up, hon?

How are you?
Oh, my God, what a beautiful house!

- How are you?
- Thanks for you coming.

Of course, my pleasure. Wow.

- Let me show you around.
- Wow, look at that view.

There's absolute zero chance,
you guys are telling me,

zero chance that he proposed?

- Zero. Zero.
- [Mary] No.

I mean, I lived with her
and I was with her during the whole thing,

and there was never a ring,

there was never
an engagement, any of that.

- She would've said.
- Yeah. No, they didn't live together.

He wouldn't give her a key.

He didn't trust her.

This breaks my heart.
It really breaks my heart.

[Vanessa] Oh, my God,
the house is so perfect.

[all greeting]

[Mary] How are you? You look beautiful.

- Hi, Davina.
- Good to see you.

You fit the house!

You look like you should
just be moving in here. Hi!

- [all laugh]
- [Vanessa] Hi, how are you?

[Mary] Have a seat.

- [Mary] Good.
- [Davina] Wonderful.

Just talking about what we were
talking about at the boat party.

Like, "Oh, he proposed to me,"
and she had been sending me DMs for years.

It's like maybe
when someone does something wrong

and they don't know how to...

[Mary] Get out of it?

- So...
- They gotta go with it.

I feel that sometimes, people are like,
"I don't know how to get out,"

so maybe they're
just making everything worse.

- [Mary] Way worse. Digging a grave.
- I think so.

I don't know how to feel about this.
It just makes me sad.

There's a point where we're not
gonna continue to entertain something

that we all know isn't true.

I didn't have this information before,
so it's shocking to me.

But she said you did,
so, you know, another lie.

The emotional part of me
wants to believe her,

but the rational, logical mind, it just...

The facts are not adding up.

[Vanessa] I think that Christine right now
is in a self-destructive cycle.

At some point, like,
we have to know, as adults,

what's right and what's wrong,

because we are grown women,

and I do not tolerate behavior like this.

She's going down.
