♪ ♪

Hey, Nicole.
I was just about to text you.

[groans]
What's going on?

Have you made any progress
on deciding the recipient

of the Dupree Heritage
Foundation scholarship?

I haven't.
I might need your input.

How do you pick one winner out
of all of those amazing kids?

Maybe I should
streamline the process,

not have so many categories.

I don't know. To me,
that's what makes it so special.

Singers, dancers,
artists, musicians.

It's inclusive. All you need
to apply is talent.

It's just so difficult. Every
single candidate is deserving.

I think this might be
the most talented group ever.

You know,
you say this every year,

and every year you manage
to make the exact right pick.

And another kid
gets an opportunity

he or she wouldn't have had
without you and your family.

I've been working with the chef
on the Links brunch.

We've got three
menu possibilities.

If you could choose
just one today.

Email them.

-I'll look through them.
-Okay.

You could bottle that beauty,

the way you haven't changed
since you were in your 20s.

-You'd have to take care of me.
-You old sweet talker.

There'd be no need
for my services.

So how's your morning
going so far?

How much time you got?

♪ ♪

You still look good
out there on the course.

Age ain't nothing but a number.

The kids seem to like it.

Oh, good to open up
the world to them.

So, are we going to talk
about what happened

or pretend it didn't?

You mean
that scene at the restaurant?

Yes. Who knew Aunt Dani was
packing a left hook like that?

Nothing to be proud of.

I hated seeing my daughter
pushed to a point

where she would
think that hitting someone

was the appropriate action.

Physical violence
is never the answer.

I get where you're coming from.

And I know
nonviolence has always been at

the core of your belief system,
but this isn't the bad old days.

Some people deserve to
get a punch in the face.

It distresses me
to hear you say that.

On the other hand, I can
certainly understand the urge

to strike out when you've
been maligned and mistreated.

And Dani has.

Breaks my heart
to see her suffer.

Now Bill is moving into
Fairmont Crest with Hayley.

Why do that?

I mean, I understand
that people fall out of love,

marriages break up,
couples come apart.

But there's a way to end it
that leaves the other person

standing in their dignity.

If you're a decent human being
with regards to others.

But that's not Bill.

Hayley thinks she's
fallen into some fairy tale,

but she'll find out who he is,
soon enough.

♪ ♪

Hey. I was just
wondering where you were.

Thought you'd be
at the office by now.

-I have a stop to make.
-Everything okay?

It's been a morning so far, but
hoping to salvage what's left.

[shudders]

What are you doing?

Remembering the good times.
There were so many.

Look.
You see how happy we were?

Bill loved me.
It is right there in his eyes.

I'm not delusional.

Everyone always said
we made such a beautiful couple.

And we did.

So how could Bill
just throw us away?

All right, Dani, that's enough.

I'm trying to understand what
happened to the life we made.

How am I left in this house
all alone?

It's okay, baby. Mommy's here.

[Dani crying]

[shushing]

♪ ♪

What's with the look?

Oh, just wondering
if everything's okay.

-What wouldn't be?
-Things good at home?

Sure. Why do you ask?

Something you said
earlier that stuck with me.

About wanting more.
That could mean you're restless.

And restlessness can be a sign,

a warning sign
of trouble at home.

No, home is solid. Restless?

-You could say that.
-It's not always a bad thing.

Keeps you alert,
ready for what's next.

That's what
I'm trying to figure out.

What's my next step?
My next challenge?

Whatever it turns out to be,
I'll be there to help.

As if you haven't done enough.

I've gotten all the way to

the House of Representatives
because of you.

Because of your guidance,
your experience

and the wisdom you share.

I owe everything to you,
Granddad.

-Don't let me do that.
-You're not allowed to cry?

I hate it. It's weak.

-Better out than in.
-I suppose

you're angry at me.
Is that why you're here?

-To yell at me?
-I don't yell.

You don't have to.

Your tone does it for you.

That was quite
a display of temper.

Hayley is stealing my life
one piece at a time.

All of a sudden,
I look up and she's walking

into the restaurant
like she belonged there.

So you thought
hitting her was a good idea?

In the moment, yeah.
And you know what?

Felt better than
anything has in a long time.

If that makes me
an awful person,

-so be it.
-That makes you human.

Now, I don't
ordinarily condone violence.

You know that, but sometimes
folks deserve a sucker punch.

So no lecture, no blame. You did
what you did, and now it's over.

Please try
not to make it a habit.

I thought I was okay.

Not 100%, but getting there.

Those six months waiting
for the divorce to finalize,

it gave me time to come
to terms with the end

of my marriage,
even the way it ended.

Then those papers came,

and that same day, Bill and
Hayley booked the country club.

-I know.
-They could get married
anywhere, Mom,

just like they could
live anywhere.

Why here, where I am trying
to put my life back together?

What did I do to deserve
that level of disregard

from a man who I spent
most of my life catering to?

-A man I built a family with?
-Now, you stop right there.

You haven't done anything
except be a better wife to Bill

than he ever deserved.

He's the bad guy here, not you.
Keep that straight.

I know you, Dani.
I know how deeply you feel.

I know how hard it is for you
to let go of hurt and anger.

But, honey, if you don't,

it will turn back on you
and eat you alive.

While Bill and Hayley
are going on

about their business,
not giving you a second thought.

Now, you need to
remember who you are.

A Dupree woman.

We don't turn our power
over to anyone.

Tap into that heritage.
Find your inner strength,

and stop letting those losers
get the best of you.

Seems Bill
had another card to play.

He just bought
that house on Marigold.

Him and Hayley? Damn,
that's cold, even for Bill.

I don't think I have to
tell you, Dani went ballistic.

Of course she did.
And Bill knew she would.

Oh, I don't think he anticipated
exactly what ended up happening.

Hayley had the unfortunate
timing of sauntering through

the restaurant right after
Vanessa dropped the b*mb.

-Oh.
-Dani read her for filth

and then
punched her in the face.

-You serious?
-Oh, yeah.

-Ah, it was a good one, too.
-And I missed it.

How come nothing scandalous
ever happens at the country club

-when I'm here?
-Our membership fees are

supposed to
protect us from scandalous.

[sighs]

I have been
trying to keep my cool,

being my sister's voice of
reason. God knows she needs one.

But the careless way
Bill has been treating her,

it infuriates me.

Dani gave up
everything for that man.

And don't even get me
started on Hayley.

Dani was good to her,
treated her like family.

And Hayley was
supposed to be Naomi's friend.

I feel like
punching somebody myself.

I'd hate to see that happen.

[both laugh]

I'm sorry Dani's
having a tough time.

Me, too.

Hoping once
this wedding is behind us,

she'll feel
the finality of it and

move on with her life.

Find somebody worthy who will
actually appreciate her.

If there's anything that
I can do, just let me know.

In the meanwhile,
I have to get down

to the hospital, have a consult
on a facial reconstruction.

Oh, um, will you be
available this afternoon?

Andre is coming by to scope out
the hospital for that video bio

for the award ceremony.

I know he would love
to see his favorite uncle.

I'll make it happen.
Andre is not here very often.

What do you think about
having a family gathering

while we got him?

Sounds like a plan.

-Mmm, you smell delicious.
-[laughing]

Oh, get out of here.

MAN [over P.A.]:
Nurse Hugo to ICU.

What are you guys doing here?

We know you're busy,
so we won't stay long,

but I wanted to make sure
you have a nice, healthy lunch.

Everyone is feeding me today.

Makes sense. Food is love.

I'm so proud of you, honey. All
that hard work and it paid off.

Eva and I've only
known you for a few months,

but I can already tell you are
going to be an awesome nurse.

-Ah, I hope so.
-You doubt it?

I mean, that's the plan.
To be the best.

But there is a definite
learning curve, and you cannot

predict what will happen
from one moment to the next.

You're gonna ace it.
No doubt in my mind.

And if I do,
it'll be because of you, Mom.

I know it was hard
being a single mother

as young as you were.

But you always put me first.

Always made sure I had
whatever I needed in life.

I'm here today because
you made so many sacrifices.

Well, you would
have figured it out.

You would have found a way.

Because this is
where you're supposed to be.

What you were meant to do.

[chuckles]

All I did was keep
you sheltered and fed.

The tradition continues.

WOMAN [over P.A.]:
Nurse to Pediatrics.

That lady Bessie
coming to give you your props.

I love when that happens.

Witnessing how much
your work in the movement

has affected and
influenced so many people.

I have to admit, it made me
feel kind of warm and fuzzy.

-You deserve all the praise.
-Eh.

The work that you did back then,
how you literally put

your body on the line
to effect change.

I used to study those pictures
of you with your head held high,

marching through ugliness.
People spitting and jeering,

-throwing things.
-Fun times.

I know passive resistance
has always been your thing,

but I don't know how you just
didn't Hulk out sometimes.

Well, it's not a matter of want.

Believe me, there were times

when I could have happily
lost it.

But we were committed to
nonviolence as a strategy.

You know, like the Dr. Kings

and John Lewises
that came before us.

So we took
whatever they dished out.

And you were the ones
who ended up behind bars.

I don't know how you did it.

Sometimes I look back
and neither do I.

You are truly amazing. A gift
that I am so grateful for.

And I know I haven't always
lived up to your standards.

And I've disappointed you.

You haven't lived
a perfect life. None of us has.

But you're a good man, Martin,
with a kind and generous heart.

I'm proud to call you
my grandson.

Nothing you've ever done
has changed that.

And nothing ever will.

I wish I could take
Nicole's advice and magically

stop thinking about it,

but every time I walk
past that banquet room,

see their wedding prep,
and now they're gonna live here.

Maybe I should move.

Unacceptable.
You belong in Fairmont Crest.

Your father's father
designed and built

the first houses
in this community,

including our family home,
where you were born and raised.

No Dupree is going to
be chased out of Fairmont

by a couple of interlopers.

This will pass, Dani.
Life goes on.

You just need
to get through this.

-And you will get through it.
-How did I miss it?

Where was I?
What was I doing?

Did you ever suspect the affair?

No, of course not.
I was shocked

when you told me,
more about Hayley than Bill,

and I never would
have kept that from you.

None of us would.

The truth is,
two expert liars came together

and fooled us all.

As a family,
we let our guard down.

But that is never gonna
happen again. So fair warning.

Be mindful of who you try
to bring into our circle.

-You mean another man?
-Mm.

I don't have time for that.

No, I will be putting all
of my effort and energy

into making Bill and Hayley pay.

Um, you have a visitor.
An unexpected one, I'm guessing.

Hey, Nicole.
I'm hoping you have a minute.

I envy you, Ashley.

I wish I had half your drive
and determination.

I don't even know what
I want to do with my life.

You're already doing it.
Hairstyling is a profession.

I keep telling her.
An important one.

Your skill
will always be needed,

Eva, especially
in the Black community.

And white women
need hairstylists, too.

You got all the bases covered.

Thanks, but I just feel
so low-key

compared to what Ashley's doing.

Don't compare yourself to me
or to anyone else.

You do Eva,
and you'll be just fine.

I just wanted you to know
I stand in total awe.

It's just building blocks.
One thing follows another

in a logical progression.

That philosophy is working
for you,

professionally and personally.

And from what I've seen,
you and Derek seem to be solid.

Very much so. Things are falling
into place across the board.

It's so awesome.

Well, we should let you
get back to work.

-Thanks for stopping by.
-Of course.

-And for lunch.
-Of course.

Bye. All right,
I gotta get back to work.

-Okay.
-[indistinct P.A. announcement]

[elevator dings]

Excuse me, ladies.

ASHLEY:
Oh, Dr. Richardson.

Thank you.

[muttering]

TED:
Easy day.

This time next week,
I'll be in Maui with my honey.

Or is it "on Maui"?

I think it's "on."

Either way, I've never been.

It looks really beautiful,

and it's supposed to be
uber romantic.

I think David's gonna propose.
[giggles]

I hope you're
planning to say no.

Why would you say that?

You have your whole
life to be married.

Enjoy being young and free
while you still can.

Besides, you ain't seen that boy
but for a hot minute.

What's the rush?

-He putting pressure on you?
-No.

Just getting swept up
in the thought

of tropical magic, I guess.

Mind if I get in your business
a little?

Open book.

Do you ever regret not
getting married and having kids?

No. [laughs]
Not even for a second.

That's why I know
what I'm talking about.

Marriage is not for everyone.

It might be for you,
but it might not.

That's just my two cents.
Do what works for you.

I always value your insight.

But I don't want to overstep.
I mean, you are grown.

True. But I still could be like
that daughter you never had.

Are you seriously in my house?

With what? Cookies?

Baked them last night
for the office,

so they were in the car.

Thought I'd be neighborly
and bring you some.

Everybody likes
chocolate chip, right?

I do not have time
for whatever this is.

Wait, please. Nicole,
I swear I won't keep you long.

Just hear me out.

I'm not going to pretend
that scene at the country club

wasn't utterly mortifying.

But I'm willing to
forget that your sister

physically assaulted me
in front of witnesses

in the interest of peace.

Starting here with you and me.

Your point?

I was hoping
that you would help me

assimilate here
in Fairmont Crest.

Oh, come on, Nicole, please.

It's me, you know? Hayley.

Hi. You used to like me.

-Your whole family did.
-You have made some serious

miscalculations here.
Dani is my sister.

My loyalties will
always lie with her.

And my sister has been
devastated by you and Bill's

double betrayal, because
that is exactly what it was.

You used your friendship
with Dani's daughter

to steal Dani's husband.

I get that's the party line,
but it's just not true.

My friendship with Naomi
was real,

but so is my love for Bill.

I... I didn't plan that.

It just happened. Please.

Look, I'm not
a horrible person, Nicole.

I didn't set out to hurt
Dani or Naomi or anyone.

I just fell in love
with an inconvenient man.

And now you have to deal with
the inconvenient consequences.

-You see how that works?
-Look, I'm not naive.

I know serious damage was done.

And I don't expect
your family or this community

to just open its arms
to me right away.

But...

your support
would go a long way.

And let's face it, I'm here.

Bill and I are going to be
living behind the gates.

Is acceptance of my presence
out of the question?

Ultimately,
that's Dani's decision.

She's the injured party
and a beloved

member of the community.
Everyone will follow her lead.

Well, I'm not
optimistic on that front.

I've tried
apologizing to Dani, but

she just
can't get past her anger.

Look closer, Hayley.
That's hurt.

Please take your cookies and go.

[elevator dings]

Ashley.
Welcome to Garland.

-Have a great first day.
-Thank you.

-[indistinct P.A. announcement]
-[quiet chatter]

-Ashley Morgan?
-Yes. Hi.

Shanice Johnson.
I'm your preceptor.

-That means--
-I know, my trainer.

Oh. Off to a decent start.

Well, I've been
assigned to teach you

the many things you don't know.

And everything
is very important,

so pay close attention
at all times.

-Yes, ma'am.
-And don't call me "ma'am."

-That's my grandmother.
-Sorry.

Great. We'll start with rounds.
You'll shadow me.

Take notes.
Lots of them.

You'll hear words that
sound like a foreign language,

because they are. Ask about
what you don't understand.

You're as green as collards,
and we all know it.

So don't stand in your pride.

Lives are in the balance,
and if you start to feel scared

or overwhelmed,
just say something to me or one

of the other nurses.
We support each other.

-Got it?
-Got it.

Great. Let's get going.

[indistinct P.A. announcement]

Such a beautiful family,
and Bill trashes it.

Anita's instincts
were spot-on with him.

She knew to keep him at a...
at an emotional distance.

Me, on the other hand,

I wanted to give him
the benefit of a doubt.

Why wouldn't you?
He was your son-in-law.

And Dani loved him.

That's why I-I helped him when
he was starting up his practice.

[scoffs]
He didn't know anyone.

I was the one with
the celebrity connections.

And celebrities
have been getting in trouble

since the beginning of time.

So, I started
sending him clients.

His firm took off,
and so did Bill's ego.

Feels like
he was biding his time

until he could
slither into his real skin.

And that's the guy
I've known all my life.

Bill, the control freak,
the narcissist.

Turning every opportunity
to his own advantage.

I'm sorry Dani's hurting,
but I'm happy to see

the back end of Bill Hamilton.

He's been privy to what goes on
in this family long enough.

[exclaims]

Oh. [chuckles]

-Hey.
-Hey.

You won't believe
the morning I've had.

What's wrong with your cheek?
It's all red.

Yeah, an encounter
with Dani's fist.

What?

Are you serious?
She hit you?

-Yeah.
-Oh, hell no.

This is unacceptable. No.

Just let it go.

I most certainly will not.

I'm not gonna stand
for Dani attacking you.

That's outrageous.

This is my battle.

You running to my rescue
just makes me look weak.

I toughed it out,
took a table, had a bagel

with my head held high,
maybe gained a little respect.

And I'll keep trying.

Now, as far as Dani goes,
she needed a win.

Let her have it.

[scoffs] Someone needs to
rein that woman in.

Okay, well,
that person isn't you.

I mean it, Bill.
Leave it alone.

You're a lot more
forgiving than I am. But...

if that's how you want it.

Nothing's working
the way that I wanted it.

This was supposed
to be a great morning.

Getting the keys
to our brand-new home.

Instead, I got smacked down

at every turn.

First by Vanessa,
who couldn't wait to tell me

how I'll always be
an outcast in Fairmont.

Then Dani went
all Mike Tyson on me

in front of God and everyone.

When I tried to appeal
to Nicole,

she basically told me never
to darken her doorstep again.

Babe, you went to Dani's sister?

I know. I know.

An impulse that I shouldn't have
followed. But Nicole's a shrink.

I thought
she could be objective.

I thought if I asked nicely
and brought some cookies,

maybe she'd consider mediating.

I'm guessing it didn't go well.

No, she sent me
and my cookies packing.

You know, I've been thinking.

Maybe we should cancel
the country club and elope.

Go to Vegas. Or I don't know,
you pick a place.

-Anywhere but here.
-Surprised to hear you say that.

It's just gonna be humiliating
when the only people

who show up to our wedding
are from the firm.

You know, your old family,
who you were with for decades,

have shut you out.

And I have no one
except Caroline, and...

she's on payroll.

It's not exactly the wedding day
that a girl dreams of.

[sighs]
Look, I'm-I'm gonna cancel,

so be prepared for major fees.

Yeah, I don't care about that.
Hey. Hey.

Do you still want to
get married at the country club?

Of course I do.
It's my dream. But it's so--

No. No, babe. No buts.

I think this is a situation
where reasonable men can agree.

Yeah. Let me do what I do,
babe. Let me fix this.

Since I last saw you,
you've become a nurse.

What about
the rest of your life?

Still seeing that firefighter
who stole you away?

There was no stealing involved.
You and I were never a thing.

Yeah, but I was working on it.
A little too subtly, it seems.

Are you ever
not actively flirting?

No.
Not when it comes to you.

-It's good to see you, Ashley.
-You too, Andre.

WOMAN [over P.A.]: We need
a nurse to Trauma Bay Seven.

Oh, Andre.
It's not like that between us.

Wow. You know about Derek?

-How well-informed of you.
-Everybody needs a hobby.

Plus, I like

Okay. Got it.

[doorbell rings]

What the hell?

Mind if I come in for a minute?

Matter of fact, I do.

You're no longer welcome
in our home.

I won't take much of your time.

And I apologize
for not calling first,

but I was pretty sure
you'd tell me not to come.

You were right about that.

But you're here now.

-What do you want?
-Well, before we get into it,

I heard about
the regrettable incident

at the country club earlier.
Not cool on Dani's part.

If you're
looking for an apology,

-you're in the wrong place.
-No, no, not necessary.

You know, sometimes emotions
run high, especially Dani's.

And Hayley,
she's willing to let it slide.

I'm good with that.

I would like
to ask a favor, though.

-Go on.
-Well, as you know,

Hayley is all alone
in the world.

Never knew her father.
Her mother's gone.

She has no siblings.
But like any woman,

she wants a real wedding
with real guests.

I'd like to give her that.

So I would appreciate it
if you used your considerable

influence to
convince your family to

attend the ceremony,
along with anyone else

you can gather
from the community.

A respectable showing
is what I'm asking for.

[laughs] Do you remember
the Dupree women?

They want nothing
to do with you or Hayley.

And they certainly wouldn't

be caught anywhere
near your wedding.

I'm sure you could
persuade them otherwise.

I can't help you, Bill.

You wasted
your time coming here today.

Well, sorry to hear that.
Thought it was worth a try.

Oh, one more thing
to consider before

you shut the door completely.

There were a number of times
I came through when you

or a member of your family
needed a favor.

I'm asking for
the same consideration.

It's just one night.
It'll mean a lot to me.

Just think about it.
And whatever you decide,

I appreciate being heard.

Have a nice rest of your day.

You've been awfully quiet
since we left the hospital.

-You okay?
-I will be.

Finally.
Just hold on to that.

Don't let the little stuff
distract you.

You don't have to do this,
you know.

I'll find another way that
doesn't involve you.

But I am involved,
and I'm good to go.

Just don't want
to put you in a...

situation that
makes you uncomfortable.

What makes me uncomfortable
is thinking

about what you went through
all those years ago.

You deserved better, Mom.

And it's time
for you to have it.

So don't worry about me.
I'm all in.

It is nice to have you home
early for a change. Come here.

It's been busier than necessary.

It takes hours longer
than it should

to get anything done
in Congress these days.

It's exhausting. I was grateful
not to be in session, though.

Got time to spend with Granddad.

That's good.

I know how much
you love hanging out with him.

Being with Granddad
reminds me who I am,

the legacy that I carry.

My responsibility
not only to honor him,

but to instill respect of
that heritage in our own kids.

Adopting Samantha and Tyrell was
the best decision we ever made.

Aside from getting married,
of course.

They were so young
when we brought them home.

Now they're teenagers.
How did that even happen?

How did Tyrell do
on his calculus test?

He passed.

Are we gonna pretend
that's good enough?

I think it was the best
he could do,

at least for right now.

Something going on
I should know about?

Mm...

Tyrell seems to be
going through something.

He's been a little
standoffish and internal lately,

but he told me
that nothing's wrong.

Okay. I'll talk to him.

But I was secretive
and moody at 17, too.

Unlike moi,who was
a perfectly delightful teenager.

Speaking of delightful,
we need to decide if

we're going
to allow Samantha to date.

Well, she is 16,

and all of her friends
are doing it.

So you're okay with it?

I think it's better
to give her permission

and to know
who she's seeing than to

have her sneaking around.

Is it bad if I insist
on tagging along?

Mm.

-I was just with Dani.
-And I was with Bill.

Bill?

-Where?
-Here.

He walked in the door
like he still belongs.

We've got a problem, Anita.

MAN [over P.A.]: All nurses,
to the nurses' station.

This office has a certain warmth

that really
speaks to who you are,

both as a woman
and as a professional.

It's really easy to
see how your patients will

feel safe here,
and I want to capture that.

-Sounds good.
-Oh, and I would also like to

take a look at your
private practice, Uncle Ted.

If I remember correctly,

those grounds were quite
beautiful, so...

You're more than welcome to.

Just head on over there
right now.

Kat's working,
so she can walk you around.

Okay. Perfect.
Be right back.

MAN [over P.A.]:
Code 675. Code 675.

He reminds me
so much of my brother.

May he rest in peace.

-Bittersweet, isn't it?
-Hmm.

Like so many things,
this journey isn't

always going to be easy.

Life can be
challenging at times.

But I'm grateful every day

that I'm walking
through this life with you.

You know, you didn't even
have to say you were exhausted.

I can always tell.

That's when
the dreams come back, right?

-Don't start.
-I'm just saying.

And I'm telling you,
I don't remember my dreams.

And could you please
stop trying to hold me

accountable for
what happens in my sleep?

You don't have to get defensive.

I am just trying to understand
what's going on in there.

Maybe there's something
I can help you work through.

[sighs] Let's just call it
an overactive imagination

combined with exhaustion
and leave it at that.

So where are the kids?

And what's for dinner?

[sighs]

What kind of feeling
did you get from Bill?

Any sense of something
he wasn't saying?

He mentioned
favors rendered in the past,

not in a threatening way.
And he wasn't specific.

Seemed sincere, concerned
for the woman he loves.

-Humble, even.
-Bill Hamilton humble?

That's a red flag in itself.

You didn't get
a sense of anything underlying?

Not that you could point to
in a word or demeanor.

But we're talking
about Bill here.

He's proven he can't be trusted

and that he'll use what
he knows to get what he wants.

I hate giving into
that man about anything.

But we can't take the risk.

Protecting Martin
is our priority. Agreed?

Agreed.

-Uh, excuse me.
-Dani.

-What are you doing?
-You can't go in there.

What is she doing here?
