LESLIE [over phone]:
This is Leslie Thomas.

I'm screening my calls because
not everyone deserves my time.

Convince me you do
after the beep.

[beeps]

[sighs]

Eva, what are you
doing here so late?

No one's going
after your daughter.

Katherine and I, we're just
having ourselves

a friendly little chitchat.

You don't know anything
about being friendly.

-Everything's a scheme with you.
-Don't believe me?

Oh, I mean, we could always go
ask her together.

-Dana.
-Uh-uh.

[clucks tongue] Careful now.

It might get a bit awkward
when she hears you call me Dana.

And she knows me as Anna.

But that's not what's got you
all shook up, is it, Teddy?

You're scared
I'm gonna spill the tea

about that baby we made.

SMITTY:
Oh, my God.

-Are you all right, son?
-What happened to you?

Chill. It doesn't even hurt.

-I'm straight.
-SMITTY: Hey.

We're your parents.

You don't have to do
the macho thing with us.

And you haven't told us
what happened.

-Who did this to you?
-Nobody.

I just wiped out
on my bike near school.

That's all.

I'm back.

What were you looking at?

Oh, nothing serious.
Just checking my work schedule.

-Another busy week, I assume.
-I'm afraid so.

You probably won't be seeing
much of me at all.

I thought you went out
for dinner.

Oh, you must have
chatted with Ted.

Yes, I am supposed to meet up
with him and Kat.

I just have a last-minute
insurance authorization

I need to submit

for a patient's treatment
tomorrow.

Is it something
I can help out with?

Aw, thanks, dear, but no.
This'll just take a second.

Hey, I have a thought.

If you don't have any plans,
why don't you join us?

Why are you bringing up
all of this old drama?

That's more than a lifetime ago.

Thought you could just
ship me off

like your dirty little secret?

Like our history meant nothing.

Nothing but trouble.

Yes, I got the ab*rtion
like I told you,

but it was far too painful
of a memory

for me to let you get away.

I don't have time
for the drama, Dana.

Oh, why is that?

Is it because Nicole could be
pulling up soon, hmm?

Look, you leave Nicole
out of this.

She has nothing to do with this.

Oh, really?

You sure about that?

I mean, we could stick around
and we could let her decide.

Enough!

What is it gonna take to get you
out of my damn life?

Is it more money you want?

How much do you have in mind?

If it was always about money,
then why the song and dance?

The fake suicide attempt,

the worming through
my wife's events...

Aw, Ted, for a smart man,

sometimes you can be
so damn dense.

-[scoffs]
-Every time we talked, not once

did you ask me what I wanted.

Hmm. You always let me know

that you just wanted
to burn my life to the ground.

So, is money all it's gonna
take to get rid of you?

Would you like my routing number

or should
I send you my Cash App?

Oh, no.
You think you're slick.

I'm not about to leave a paper
trail for you to exploit.

It's cash or nothing at all.

I'm thinking 50 stacks
ought to cover it.

$50,000?!

[shushes]

[whispering]: You must be
out of your damn mind.

There's no way I'll make

a withdrawal like that
and-and not set off

every alarm in the bank.

Oh, poor baby.

Your mess, your cleanup.

All right.

You'll get your money.
That's it.

And I still have
that same lawyer on speed dial.

You know, the one that,
uh, made you leave

the last time.

You didn't want
to hear that, did you?

We're done here.

That's nice of you to invite me,

but you know
what you're asking, right?

It's Kat, isn't it?

She's gonna be so heated,

she'll probably pitch a fit
and say I don't belong there.

You're right.

Listen, I don't want
to make you uncomfortable,

so we'll drop it.

Maybe next time.

Well, I should get out of here.

Traffic this time
of night is no joke.

I assume you'll be leaving, too.

Not yet.
Got to log your computer off

from the hospital system,

then I'll lock up.

Thanks. I appreciate you.

Oh, by the way,
have you heard anything

about that woman
who got booted at the banquet?

Sherry Carter, was it?

Um, no. Ted said
to drop it, so I did.

Oh. Okay.

-And, Eva?
-Yes?

Do not stress out about Kat.

We see your value here.

Ted's on the same page, too.

Are you sure you didn't get
swiped by a car or something?

Yes, I am.

It looks like a lot more damage
than falling from your bike.

How fast were you going?

It was the sidewalks
around school.

They're all pushed up
from tree roots.

It's a major hazard.

It be like that sometimes.

Guess it was just
my turn to take the L.

Why did Tyrell say
you had his back?

What?

Earlier you said Tyrell was
upstairs asleep.

You didn't want us to go up,
but now it's clear

you didn't want us
to see he was hurt.

Um, uh, it wasn't
exactly a lie. I...

TYRELL:
Look.

It's not that deep.

I was just flexing on my bike.

I popped a wheelie and I ate it.
It wasn't the sidewalk.

-I was just being stupid.
-Are you sure that's all?

TYRELL:
Yes.

Now, can we just let this go?
This is mad embarrassing.

I just want to be left alone.

-Please.
-Let's head upstairs.

You need to get some
antiseptic on that cut.

Samantha.

Yes, Pop?

We need to talk.

BILL:
I'm happy you came to see me.

Now, listen,
no one needs to know

that we were together
until the time is right.

You understand?

Lying to my husband is
my favorite pastime.

Okay.
That's pertinent information.

I'll be sure to keep that
in mind.

Thank you for handling me
with such care and sensitivity.

Our time together has
truly replenished me.

Yeah, well, no problem.
I got a lot out of it, too.

Good night.

Oh, hey, babe.
This is a nice surprise.

I was expecting for you to be
waiting at home for me.

-Didn't Caroline call?
-Yes, she did.

But you didn't.
And you didn't text.

-Why is that, Bill?
-Well,

I had an unexpected delay,

and now, also unexpectedly,
you're here.

I'm happy to see you.

Don't you think the boss
kissing an employee

days after named in a harassment
lawsuit is bad optics?

Well, I think the boss wasn't
accused of sexual harassment.

A technicality.

And I get off on those a lot.

Speaking of getting off,
let's get out of here.

You know, I was hoping
that our dinner at home tonight

would be a celebration,

and I can convince Naomi
to drop the lawsuit.

-No luck?
-No, not yet.

She's not even
returning my calls.

Not promptly, anyway.

-Posturing.
-Yeah.

Just like she learned
at her daddy's knee.

But you're not worried?

No. No, I'm not stressed at all.

-Of course not.
-[scoffs]

I'm stimulated.

By Naomi's case or...

-something else?
-[chuckles]

Okay, babe,
again with the optics?

We're in my private office,
there's no one around.

It's after hours.

I remember all those times
we stayed after hours.

Hmm.

Yeah, me too, baby.

Mm-hmm.
Lots of discovery sessions.

More emotions than I can count.

You know, reviewing briefs.

Your red lacy ones were
my favorite.

I noticed that woman making

a few motions of her own.

You're jealous.

So, what do you think
about barbecue pizza?

Doctors at the hospital,
they rave about it.

♪ ♪

Are you looking for something?

Oh, just a text from Eva.

I mean, Chels.

Now, those are the last two
that I think

-that you would get confused.
-Mm.

One is your cousin
and your best friend,

and the other,
I can imagine that you have

her face plastered
on a dartboard.

-It's not even like that, Dad.
-Then what is it like?

We're not friends. Okay?

I don't have to be
besties with everyone.

I'm not saying that you have to,

but I think you need
to ease up on Eva.

You've been
coming at her pretty hard,

and I still haven't heard
the reason why.

Just be patient, Dad. You will.

Hmm.

Uh, this one might scar.

I got some cream that'll help.

Since when did education
become a contact sport?

You're making it a bigger deal
than what it already is.

I told you, I just wiped out.

I'm just trying to understand,
that's all.

All right, I'll leave
this cream in your bathroom.

Use it every day,
and the scar should fade.

Got it?

-[winces]
-Oh, come on. It's not that bad.

Not that bad? You should try.

Yeah, you did always
hate this stuff.

Remember your first bike wipeout

where you tried
to recreate that trick

you saw that kid do online?

I almost had it.

Yeah, until you crashed.

You howled back then, too.

You said you'd rather have
the infection. [chuckles]

And you still
won't listen to me.

You know I'm always here
to listen to you.

About anything, anytime.

We almost done here, Dad?

You, jealous of Lorinda?

-Come on, babe.
-She was here after hours.

In your arms,

lying to her husband,
and you were all caring

and sensitive with her.

And she was "replenished."

She ambushed me, baby.

All right?
It was a platonic hug.

She is a liar, though,
I'll give you that one.

But I was being disingenuous.

And she tosses those
woo-woo words around

like she's some kind
of New Age guru.

Okay, you present
a compelling defense narrative.

Yeah? Compelling enough
to earn that elusive kiss?

Uh!

The jury requests
additional information.

Oh, okay.

Well, Lorinda is facing
a nasty custody battle

with her soon-to-be ex-husband.

Doesn't want her children
to end up hating her

"like yours must
hate you, Bill."

-So she--
-Hold on!

She threw that in your face?

-Yeah, verbatim.
-Who does she think she is,

getting all personal
with you like that?

Look, life in a fishbowl, baby.

People always tapping the glass,
trying to get a reaction.

Still, Naomi and Chelsea
don't hate you.

Okay, well,

I'll concede that they hate me
slightly less than they did

when everything went down
with their mother.

Bill, Naomi went
from "you're dead to me" to...

Threatening to mop
the floor with me in court.

Yes, baby, she's still
mad at me.

Just give her time, okay?

Be the father that she admired

and respected and loved
before you-know-what occurred.

But have faith, okay?
It'll happen.

Yeah, well.

With Naomi, maybe,
but with Chelsea...

[chuckles, clucks tongue]

I don't know.

All right, let's hear it.

Hear what?

Tree roots,
pushing up sidewalks,

popping wheelies?

Which story am I
supposed to believe?

Whatever Tyrell told you.
Why would he lie?

Don't play me, Samantha.

We both know
there's more to this.

If you've got it all
figured out, why come at me?

Look, I'm just looking
for a little help.

I'm worried about your brother.

If it was something serious,
you'll tell me, right?

Pop, I always tell you
what you need to know.

Sounds like something I would
say in my press conference.

You sure you don't want
to run for office?

As riveting
as this interrogation is,

I've got a hot date
with my trig homework.

Well, don't let me keep you.

Got to maintain that 4.0.



You need to give people
a chance.

Don't be so quick
to rush to judgment.

You may discover
that you made a mistake.

I'll keep that in mind.

We can't all be
as flawless as you, Dad.

Trust me, I'm far from flawless.

Nope.

You're the GOAT.

As perfect as they come.

Well, if it isn't
my favorite power couple.

A rare night out together?

A blue moon event indeed.

You know how it is, girl.

Ah, the price of success.

I at least get to see Vanessa

from time to time
at the country club.

Where have you been hiding,
stranger?

Oh, I've been around.

He's at the hospital
morning, noon and night.

I can't believe
we don't see each other then,

if you're there that much.

Well, psychiatrists and surgeons
don't exactly run

in the same circles.

Besides, most of my surgeries

are scheduled later in the day,

and I'm usually there
burning the midnight oil.

By the time I get home,
this one over here

is chin-checking the pillow.

Well, then, let's do lunch.

The four of us,
at the country club.

Don't threaten me
with a good time.

Girl, you know I'm all in.

You guys enjoy your night.

-You really never see her?
-I really never see her.

Well, look who I found.

Dr. McBride. Hello again.

Joey, right?

[chuckles]

And Mrs. McBride.

It's a good thing
I ran into you.

I got those listings you sent
about my mother's new home.

And what'd you think?

Some seem to be on point.

There's more out there
than I thought.

Always is
if you know where to look.

Oh, I knew I was right
to look you up.

When can we check them out?

Hit up my office.
My assistant will set it all up.

But in the meantime,
are you in a rush?

I'm sure Joey has plans
for this evening.

He's a...

-he's a businessman.
-Well, in the off chance

you don't, you should
pull up a seat.

Sure we can find something else
to talk about

than just real estate.

How'd it go up there?

If I had to guess,

probably as well
as it went down here.

That bad, huh?

Tyrell didn't say a word.

It's like trying to get
Wi-Fi in a dead zone.

Samantha was the same way.

Eh, when we were that age,

I remember all the things
I hid from my parents.

Yeah, but this feels different.

There was something
in Tyrell's eyes.

Fear, maybe?

-You think he's in trouble?
-I don't know.

But whatever it is,
it's eating him up inside.

Yeah, and Samantha's
caught in the middle.

What do you think
we should do, Martin?

We'll figure it out. Together.

Like we always do.

So, what is the reason

for this impromptu dinner
with your parents?

That purse line you're
starting with Chelsea?

Aunt Dani beat me to it.

Actually, it was Chelsea.

-Congratulations, sweetheart.
-Thanks.

-Show us the pictures.
-Yeah, we love to see.

I'll show you later
on my tablet.

My phone doesn't do it justice.

I'm guessing Chelsea has
to fire Dani as her manager.

How's she taking that?

NICOLE:
Ugh, it's a process.

Day by day.

Why are you glued
so much to your phone?

Is it some important business?

No, but if it's something major,
you'll be the first to know.

Maybe Chelsea will reach out.

Mm-hmm. See?

Yeah, I recognize
that calculating look.

You're wondering how
you can make that happen.

Which is sweet and considerate
and not at all likely.

-You never know.
-Yeah, well.

You know,
I can't exactly blame her.

You know, she doesn't trust me
not to hurt her

the way I hurt Dani.

-Understandable.
-Yeah.

But she didn't close the door

on having a relationship
with you, though, right?

-Not yet.
-Okay, so there's hope.

And hope and faith are
practically soulmates.

[chuckling]
You sound like Lorinda.

[scoffs] Thanks for reminding
me. You know what?

Let's go ahead and circle back
to Mrs. Woo-Woo.

No, there's nothing
to circle back to.

I've never seen you hug a client

the way you were
hugging her, Bill.

Okay, if that's what's
bothering you, then good news.

She's not my client.

That makes it even worse.

So, why were you "replenishing"
some random woman?

Not replenishing, baby.

-I was playing her.
-To what end?

To make her open up to me

and give me the ammunition
I need to crush her in court.

Wait, so you're representing
her husband, Bill?

That type of stunt
can get you disbarred.

He's not my client either.

Okay, explain.

All right.

After Lorinda took aim

and popped off
about my personal life,

I said, okay, you know what?

I'm gonna give her a safe

and caring and sensitive--
if you will-- space

to tell me everything
I need to know.

And then I call Mr. Woo-Woo

and offer my services.

Huh.

So you're protecting her kids

from her.

She won't even know
what hit her.

And you know what?

That will teach her
to speak out of turn

and put her hands on my man.

♪ ♪

This time with you is important,
so you have my full attention.

And just so we're clear,

I'm not bailing
on the clinic anytime soon.

I mean, if we blow up
like I expect us to,

when we make our big move
into activewear...

Dad will need a backup plan.

Oh, uh, give me a second.
I need to check this.

It is so kind of you
to invite me,

but aren't the two of you
having a rare night out?

It's a special night for us.

But there's always
room for more.

I'll have to pass.

But I do think tonight's going
to be lucky for someone.

I look forward
to touring those homes.

Aw, bummer. Next time, then.

It's a date.

In the meantime, Dr. McBride,
be sure to cherish this queen.

She's a whole gem.

Don't I know it.

♪ ♪

I can't believe you.
It's Joey, right? Really?

-What do you want me to say?
-How about nothing?

-You didn't have to play dumb.
-Well, excuse me for not wanting

to cozy up with a guy
and his rep.

Do you know what he does?
Who he is?

I don't officially
know anything.

And are you telling me,
if he came to you

with a heart problem,
you wouldn't treat him?

Of course not.
Doctors have oaths.

See?

So he could be in your world

just as easily
as he stepped into mine.

Don't say I didn't warn you.

Have to get to the hospital.

Already?

What about our special evening?

I got a text.

Don't wait up.

Dad's always been good
with this first aid stuff.

He did all right, but that's not
what he was up here for.

-He was fishing for info.
-So was Pop.

You didn't narc on me, did you?

Are you really asking me that?

When have I ever not been
your ride-or-die?

Don't need to get all sus
about it. Just double-checking.

Yeah, I played dumb,
but he wasn't buying it.

Dad knew I was capping, too.

You can't keep this up forever.

They're gonna
crack the code eventually.

You really think so?

You remember Pop's story

about his glow-up year
in politics?

What does that got to do
with anything?

Pop was catching a lot of heat

over his education
reform proposals.

He tried to keep it on the low.
Just like you.

Dad clocked Pop acting weird,

always coming home late,
always stressed.

He connected the dots,
called him out,

and they tackled it as a team.

First time hearing that.

That's 'cause you don't stay
woke like I do.

Our dads are like
true crime podcast sleuths.

They don't give up
on each other, so...

they def won't
when it comes to us.

So you're saying trying
to keep us under wraps is

basically Mission: Impossible?

Yes.

It's only a matter of time
before they find out

that some twice-your-size jock

walked up
and sucker-punched you.

I should have been the one
to go upstairs with Tyrell.

-Maybe I...
-No.

I love you,
but you know how he gets.

He was already holding
so much inside and...

And he would have just been
clamming up more than usual.

-Yeah.
-Yeah.

You're probably right.

And you obviously didn't
get further with Samantha

than I did with Tyrell,

but you were definitely
the right one to talk to her.

She's always had trouble
keeping things from you.

That changed tonight.

When did our baby girl
get so clever?

Uh, since day one.

She kind of takes after
her Pops.

Busted sidewalks.

If that's the case, we need to
put more pressure on City Hall.

Big emphasis on the if.

Popping a wheelie?

Since when did our shy son
become Matt Hoffman?

It's hard having your kids
lie to your face, isn't it?

Uh, we both know it's not
the lie that's the problem.

It is what the lie is
covering up.

Don't mind us.

We can entertain ourselves
just fine.

"The suicidal patient
was spotted

"on the rooftop ledge
and approached.

"She identified herself
as Sherry Carter

"and claimed she lost
her husband six months ago,

"implying death.

However, it turns out,
he left her."

Damn it! Damn it!

Kat, what's wrong?

Did either of you bring
a phone charger?

-I can check the car.
-Never mind.

We need to go home, like, now.

NICOLE:
Home?

Yes, right now.

I haven't had the pizza yet.

We can make one
at the house, Dad.

Let's go.

-Look...
-Kat, this doesn't make sense.

We've had drinks.
We can't leave now.

-I have to pay the bill.
-Fine.

Meet me there, then. ASAP.

-Is the house on fire
or something?
-No.

Then what is it?

[both sigh]

What's this supposed to be?

Think of it as insurance.

I'm not following.

These cards... they're magic.

They turn winners
into losers like that.

Your boy Doug's gonna be here
any minute.

You tracking him or something?

I don't have to. He's an addict.

Just show 'em a little bait,

and they come running
every time.

Now, when he shows,

you make sure
the dealer uses these.

Got it?

Yeah, I got it.

[sighs]

Doc!

A long time no see.

-Now go get that money.
-I appreciate it.

Oh, and thanks
for the discretion earlier.

It's best if we keep
this under wraps, obviously.

Say less.
We're on the same page.

Ah.

I'm ready to run these tables
like it is track practice.

Maybe you should
slow your roll, man.

What do you mean?
I just got here.

Vanessa was looking
for you earlier.

She, uh, texted me
and everything.

When?

About an hour ago.

Nice try, Randy.

I was with Vanessa an hour ago.

And since when does Vanessa
hit you up about me?

Whoa. Hey, look, I'm just trying
to look out for you.

No need.
Lady Luck is on my side.

I'm not leaving here
until I have

a fat wad of cash with me.

Any guesses
to what that was about?

I'm not sure,
but I'm pretty sure

that we're gonna find out
when we get home.

Maybe she had a surprise
for our anniversary,

but we'll see.

No, that doesn't feel
quite right.

-That's not for a while.
-Hmm.

But can you believe that we are
about to celebrate another one?

When we got married,
I said till death do us part,

and I meant it.

You are the only woman for me.

You are laying it on thick.

[laughs]
Not that I mind.

I have to say,
there was a time

I wouldn't have been surprised
if you had second thoughts.

I was so wrapped up
in wanting another child.

You had every right to be.
That's how we got our baby Kat.

I love Martin something fierce,

but Kat,

she's allowing me
and touching my heart

in ways that I'm still
discovering.

Kat is my heart,
you are my soul.

How did I get
the perfect family?

Oh, Ted.

Nicole, don't ever leave me.

You have never given me
a reason to even consider it.

If I could add more hours
to the day, I would.

You know why?

-More billable hours?
-No.

[both chuckle]

'Cause you're sexy 24-7.

And even more so
when you're jealous.

Which means I need more time
to appreciate all that sexiness.

Well, I was just as jealous

as you were stressed
about that lawsuit.

Oh...
[chuckles]

Well played.

-Learned from the best.
-Me?

-You asking or telling?
-I'm stating a fact.

Hey. What is it now?

I don't know, I guess...

I'm just embarrassed.

I can't believe
that I thought...

Okay, wait. No, wait.

Hold on a second.

Insecurity is not
in your vocabulary.

What's going on?

Seeing you with that woman...

it just set me off.

Okay, all right. Come here.

Look. Look at me.

I am in love with you.

I fell in love with your heart,

your soul, your strength,

your laugh.

And that fine body of yours
is a bonus.

Will you still think it's fine
when we're old and gray

and kids are making
"yo mama" jokes

about my backside?

[both laugh]

-You damn right I will.
-Mm.

And you never have to worry

about another woman
coming between us, Hayley.

Okay? Hey.

I am yours.

And I'm yours.

Kiss me now.

Asking or telling?

Look, whatever gets
those lips on mine.

Come here.

-I love you.
-Love you.

Let's get out of here.

Okay. Uptown?

Country club?

Home.

So we can de-brief

and I can put you
through the motions.

I did what you asked.

Oh, you did more than that.

What's with you trying
to get him to hit the road?

Yes. I have eyes and ears
everywhere.

The tables, the walls,

even the damn ashtrays
report to me.

Look, Joey, I was just trying
to help a friend, that's all.

By warning him?

Look, man, I've known Doug
since way back, all right?

He's good people.
He's got a wife, kids...

And an addiction,
which is going to pay me off.

You think I care
about his sob story?

Couldn't we just ease up
on him a bit?

Last warning, Randy.

I know he's your boy...

...but he is my ticket
to my next big come-up.

And it better stay that way.

Let's run it back.

Ty's being bullied.

That has to be it, right?

It looks that way.

Two g*y dads...

And one is
a high-profile congressman.

I mean, I know that we wanted
him to have normal experiences,

which is why
we chose public school,

but maybe we were being naive.

And tell me
how the kids are fine

without one of us
home full-time?

Come on, we've been over that.

Yeah, you're right. My bad.

I'm just... I'm scared for him.

Yeah, me, too.

And you do have a point.

Right now
one parent won't cut it.

They're gonna need both of us.

Right when everything is
about to get crazy busy.

If you actually run
for president...

And if you commit full-time
to work at the paper...

[sighs]

We need to make a pact
right now.

Both of us will make time
to be there

during study hours
and dinner hours.

I know that's sometimes
tough for you.

Yeah, but I got
to make the effort.

They won't open up
if we're not here.

I'm glad you agree.

Poor Tyrell.
He has such a beautiful soul.

Kids can be so damn mean.

We have to tell our dads.

Guys punching you
out of nowhere is not cool.

No, Samantha, you have to swear.
Not a word.

Why not?

Because there's something
you don't know.

Then you better tell me.

I was changing
in the locker room

into my nerdy,
embarrassing briefs.

Not the chessboard.

When I wasn't paying attention,

someone took a picture of me
from my phone,

sent it to Jessica,

one of the prettiest girls
in the school.

Probably doesn't
even know I exist.

Anyways, her boyfriend saw it,

thought I sent it,
and that's why I got punched.

Oh, Tyrell.

That's why
we can't tell our dads.

It'll become a whole big thing.

Pops will throw his weight
around at the principal.

Or even worse,
pull up on the parents.

That would be bad.

Can I just crawl under a rock?

You know that's not
the solution.

Then I have to find one,

since I'm dealing
with this all on my own.

No, you're not.

There you are.
You missed quite a show.

What happened?

Well, your daddy thinks
that 50 stacks is enough

to make us fall back
on our plans.

He agreed to give you money?

Just like that?

Honey, he practically
begged me to take it.

He thinks it makes up
for all those years

of child support he never paid.

That fool.

But what about our plan?

Oh, well, it's still on.

This is just a bonus.

And he'll find out the hard way

on his precious anniversary.

Kat, are you home?

Oh, I thought you two
would never get home.

Could you finally tell us
what this is about?

It's about
that walking red flag Eva.

-Kat.
-You don't get it.

-She was here tonight.
-We know that.

I just spoke to her
before I went uptown.

-Same.
-You didn't let me finish.

You might have seen her,
but after you both left,

she was creeping around.

-Here we go.
-It's true.

She was digging
in Mom's patient files

when she knew
nobody else was here.

And how exactly
would you know that?

You want the receipts?

Take a look.

What are we supposed
to be looking at?

[sighs happily]

Hairdresser, one.

Bougie b*tch
from behind the gates, zero.

[chuckles]

Kat really thought
she had my number.

But she's not ready
for the smoke.
