01x05 - Siren Song

[bunniefuu]

[vehicle engine starts]

[engine idling]

[siren wailing in distance]

[Devon, echoing] Hey, it's okay.

I'm here.

- Hi.
- [Simone exhales]

[instrumental music playing faintly]

Huh.

Hey.

I thought you went home.

And miss this bangin' playlist?
Yeah, right.

Obviously, I wasn't gonna leave you here
with your mangled boyfriend.

Ex-boyfriend.

- Oh.
- Yeah.

[Simone] Any news?

No, he's still out.

You were saying "sirens" in your sleep.

- I was?
- Mmm.

Hmm.

- Should I get you an edible arrangement?
- [chuckles softly]

[Devon chuckles softly]

I'm really sorry, Devon.

It's fine. I was f*cking with you.

No, it's not fine.

I know what "sirens" means.
I should have answered you.

You were busy.

And all that stuff
I said to you last night too.

I am really...

really sorry.

I don't know what's wrong with me.

- Well, you're a b*tch, so...
- [laughs]

[both laughing]

[inhales deeply, sighs]

[both chuckle]

What you said
is stuff I needed to hear, so...

you did me a favor.

What was wrong...

when you texted me all those times?

You really wanna know?

Yeah.

[inhales deeply]

Um...

The day of Dad's appointment,
when he was diagnosed,

um, he couldn't sleep,
but he couldn't remember...

[inhales deeply]

...why he couldn't sleep,
so he kept waking me up all night

asking me, um, "What did the doctor say?
Where are my medications?"

"What's gonna happen to me now?"

Like...

It's, like, every half-hour,

"What did the doctor say, Devon?"

"Where are my medications?
What's gonna happen to me now?"

And his face was so, like, dumb and...

lost and scared,
and I just lost my f*cking sh*t

and I just screamed
at the top of my lungs,

"f*ck you. Go back to f*cking bed."

[inhales deeply]

And I was really scared
I was gonna hurt him. [sobs]

[sighs]

But he woke me up a half-hour later
and asked me the same questions.

[inhales deeply]

- You have to get out of that house, Devon.
- I know.

No, but you really do. You've gotta go.

What's he gonna do without me?

He's a vet. He has benefits.

I have a new job. I'll kick in
if it helps you get out of there.

What's the new job?

Um, well, Kiki promoted me.

I'm gonna run the foundation in New York.
It's a huge pay bump, free apartment.

Oh, look at you.

Sorry, that sounded mean. I... I...

Hey, I meant it.

Look at you.

I'm proud of you, Simone.

Why don't you come stay with me
in the city for a while?

- [laughs]
- Yeah.

And do what?

Okay, what about Palm Beach then?

Morgan told me he invited you.
I think it's a fabulous idea.

Yeah, well, he's a pretty sailor, but no.

Perfect gateway drug.
Go away for a month, stay forever.

[chuckles]

I can't sail away on a yacht, Simone.
I don't even have health insurance.

Well, what do you wanna do?

What do you want?

Don't ask me sh*t like that.
You sound like Ryan Gosling.

I think that you wanna go.
I think you wanna say, "Yes, Morgan."

Go on, try it.

Yes, Morgan.

[chuckles] And,

"Bye, Bruce."

Bye, Bruce. [exhales]

[breathes deeply]

Your life

is about to get amazing.

[chuckles softly]

Come here.

[dramatic vocalization]

[vocalization fades]

- [Missy] Shoes?
- Yes.

- [Missy] Sunglasses too?
- Sunglasses too.

What about her gala dress?

That should go back to Caroline.
Everything else should go.

Good morning, Mrs. Kell.
I have your smoothie here.

[sighs] Thank you, Patrice.

Today, we have a black cherry cold press
with sea kelp and tarragon.

What?

Your smoothie.
It's a black cherry cold press with--

Oh God, no, not today.

[pensive music playing]

Not today.

[phones chime, ping]

What do you mean, all boxed up?

I don't know.
All her stuff's in boxes up there.

Wow. Hey, what about Missy?
You talk to her? Do you know what's up?

Yeah, she just said that Mrs. K told her
to... to box the stuff up. No further deets.

I don't know, maybe they're packing
for New York or something?

Packing for New York in cardboard boxes?

Michaela would rather die.

[phones chime, ping]

[suspenseful music plays]

[both] "Breaking news."

"Mrs. K said to label
the boxes for Goodwill."

- [keypad clacking]
- "Her stuff is getting donated."

- Simone must be getting fired.
- [exhales deeply]

Are you kidding me?

- Holy sh*t.
- [chuckles]

- We did it.
- I'm going to start crying.

- The reign of terror is over.
- [laughing]

Thank you, Lord Jesus.
You're good. You're a merciful God.

- Bring it in, man. Oh my God.
- [both laugh]

- [keypad clacking]
- I'm gonna spread this news wide.

Yes. Zeus.

- [Zeus chimes]
- Play Jose's Celebration Mix.

Oh, yes, Zeus.

- [Jose] Uh-huh.
- [Zeus] Playing Jose's Celebration Mix.

["Conga" playing]

- Okay. Come on, man.
- [speaks Spanish]

[Patrice laughs]

Whoo!

- Let's go!
- [staff cheering]

- Yes!
- [cheering]

[humming]

[exclaims]

["Conga" continues playing]

Come on, now. You got it.

♪ Come on, shake your body, baby
Do the conga ♪

[Devon] So, he's never gonna dance again?

- [Simone] Yeah.
- Reinforcements have arrived.

- We brought coffee.
- Ooh, gimme, gimme.

And Portuguese fruit tarts
from the local bakery. Don't tell Patrice.

- [Simone] Thanks, Peter.
- [Devon] Mmm.

- Yeah, thanks, Big Cheese.
- [Peter] Mm-hmm.

So, any word from the patient?

Yes, uh, he's awake, but groggy.

He's got, uh, two broken legs,
a broken arm,

a couple broken ribs, and a concussion.

[Peter] Wow.

Yeah. Um, they said
that we could see him soon, though.

- Well, I'll wait with you.
- Okay.

You want me
to take you back to the house still?

Yeah, I think I should be there
when my dad wakes up.

- Are you good?
- Mmm.

I know you two have lots to discuss,
so this is great.

How subtle. Bye.

- Are they a thing? They're cute.
- Yeah, I'm working on it.

- Oh.
- Yeah, I am.

- Island matchmaker, huh?
- Mm-hmm.

[both chuckle]

[indistinct chatter]

[Peter exhales]

Well, just to continue our tradition
of me being completely awkward

whenever I see you. I--

Oh, no. We don't have to talk about it.

I didn't know about your dad, okay?

The history there, the foster care.

Morgan told me, and had I known,

I never would have welcomed him
into our home, into your home. I'm sorry.

Please, no more apologies.

From what I gather,
his neglect of you was... unspeakable.

Yet everyone is talking about it.

- Oh, I'm sorry.
- There you go again.

- Yeah, I'm-- Damn.
- No more.

- [Peter mumbles]
- [both chuckle]

[Peter] Hmm.

[vehicle approaching]

- [vehicle shifts into park]
- [engine shuts off]

Let me know
if you need anything today, okay?

I'm around.

[inhales sharply]

- Question.
- Yes.

Do you know you said "question"?

Mmm. Mm-hmm.

Hold, please. [inhales deeply]

[exhales deeply]

[breathes deeply]

Morgan, what time are you leaving
for Palm Beach tomorrow?

Daybreak.

- Dramatic.
- [chuckles softly]

And I'm, uh...

still invited?

Yes.

Why? Do you want to come?

Yeah, I do.

- I mean, unless there's--
- No, no, no, please. I...

- Unless--
- I'd love your company.

- Yeah. [chuckles]
- Okay.

- Um... Cool.
- [chuckles]

So, daybreak, is that--
Is there a specific time?

Or should I just, like, sense it
like a rooster?

Why don't you just come over after
the gala and spend the night with me?

[joyful music playing]

- Sounds good.
- Okay.

Okay.

See you later.

Okay, bye.

[chuckles]

[car door closes]

[music ends]

Hey, Dad.

I'm home from the hospital.

Dad?

Dad?

Ray?

[suspenseful music playing]

[music ends]

Dad!

What are you doing?

[tense music playing]

Dad!

Dad!

Dad. Hey.

Whoa, whoa, whoa. Dad.

Hey.

What are you doing out here all alone?

I wasn't alone.

Your mom was here.

[waves crashing]

[birds squawking]

Okay.

[exhales] Let's get back from the edge.

Come on. It's okay.

- It's okay.
- [exhales]

[monitor beeping]

[Peter] Hey, buddy.

Can you hear me?

[groaning]

[Peter] Okay.

Okay, take it... take it easy.

You're in the hospital.
You've had quite a fall.

[Ethan exhales]

Are those... my legs?

Yeah, they're broken,

and your arm too and a couple of ribs.

But the doctor says
you're expected to make a full recovery.

You are a very lucky guy.

[laughs sarcastically]

Nice.

Here, have some water.

[groans softly]

[slurping] Mmm! Mmm!

[smacks lips] Ah!

Sippy good. [laughs]

Oh... [inhales sharply]

Hey, I really...

[softly] I really appreciate
you guys being here.

Oh, not you.

No, no, not you. I don't want you here.

- Guards! Guards!
- Hey, hey, hey.

- I've been worried about you.
- No, no, no. You pushed me.

- What?
- You pushed me.

There was a big push, and it was from you.

- No, you're confused.
- [spluttering]

I was falling... [inhales deeply]

and then... and then you were above me,
and you had wings.

[Simone] You were drunk.

You pushed me, and you watched me fall,
and you laughed.

I was screaming for help,
if that's what you mean.

- You're a witch!
- Okay, let's just slow down.

You've had a concussion,
and you're on a lot of pain medication.

- Show him your wings.
- Okay.

- Show him who you really are!
- Whoa, whoa. Okay. Oh...

Okay, that's... that's quite enough of that,
all right?

Look, she doesn't want to marry you, okay?

That is her right.

I don't understand. She did this.

No, you did this.

Now, you need to find some manners,

or me and you are gonna have an issue.

[Ethan] I'm sorry, Peter.

My body hurts.

[Peter clicks tongue] You're okay.

Have your sippy.

[pensive music playing]

[Ethan slurping] Mmm. Mmm.

Mmm.

- [Devon] Hey, Dad, have you seen Ray?
- Who?

Dad, Ray, my friend Raymond.

He's not in the guest house,
and it doesn't look like he slept there.

- You don't know where he is?
- No.

Well, did he not come home last night?

How should I know? He's your boyfriend.

Hey, he... That's... He's not my boyfriend.

I made that very clear.

- Fooled me.
- Last night, on the beach.

f*ck! Come on.

- Now where are we going?
- Come on. We gotta go this way.

- Devon.
- I'm sorry.

[suspenseful music playing]

Oh no. [sighs]

[tense music playing]

[music fades]

Maybe he went swimming?

[grunts, blows]

Who's Allie?

Called like 49 times.

Oh God.

His wife.

Maybe he went back to Buffalo?

Without his phone and his keys
and his wallet and his pants?

- I don't know.
- [exhales deeply]

The last thing I said to him last night
was that I'd be better off if he drowned.

[laughs]

It's not funny. Do you think that he...

That kid? No way.

He doesn't have the nuggets.

What if he swam out too far
and he's just treading water somewhere

miles from shore?

[phone chiming]

Hey, it's Allie.

[Devon] Dad, no. Dad!

- Hi.
- [Allie] Hello. Who is this?

I'm Bruce.

No, Allie, hey. Hey, girl.

Long time. What's up?

Devon? Why do you have Ray's phone?

Th-- This is Ray's phone?

That's, uh... I...

[laughs] No kidding.
I just, uh, found this on the beach.

[Allie] I knew it.

He's with you, isn't he?

I, uh...

You're cutting in and out. Is there...
You're not on the Wi-Fi?

Can't hear you.

[Allie] Don't lie to me.

You're together.

I'm...

I'm really sorry, Allie.

But I really don't know where he is.
I can't...

- I can't find him anywhere.
- [Allie] I know where he is.

He's on an island with a f*cking wh*re.

[call disconnects]

[pensive music playing]

[indistinct conversation]

[wheelbarrow rattling]

[indistinct chatter]

[gasps] Simone, hello and good morning.

[Patrice] Hey, look, everyone,
it's Simone.

[all] Hi, Simone.

[Simone] Um...

What's with you guys?

[Missy] It's just such a beautiful day.

Yes, the sun is bright, sky majestic.
Who knows what the day will bring?

Maybe glory.

[all laugh]

Um...

Okay. Creepy.

Uh, where's Kiki?

Rehearsal.

Yeah. I am walking in that direction.
Let's go together, yeah?

- Yeah.
- [Jose] Good.

[dramatic music playing]

[chuckles]

Here's the updated list for you,
Mrs. Kell, for your approval.

Great, thank you.

Both legs?

Uh, the femur in one,
but he's gonna be okay.

God! Poor Ethan.

- He really should be dead.
- [gasps] Is he still coming to the gala?

- Oh, hi, Simone.
- Hi, Simone.

Hi, ladies.
I'm... I'm so sorry that I'm late.

Uh, where do you want me, Kiki?

Oh, I don't need you for this.
Could you wait for me in your room?

How will I know my blocking?

You want me out front
now that I'm technically cabinet, right?

[inhales deeply]
Did you guys hear the good news?

Um...

- I'm gonna run the foundation.
- [Lisa gasps]

- You are?
- Simone, you get it...

[laughing] Thank you.

Please do as I ask, Simone.

[hesitating] Yeah.

- Yeah, okay.
- [Michaela] Thank you.

[inhales deeply]

All right, opening position
same as last year.

Peter, um, stop looking so miserable.

I am miserable.

Can you move six inches to the left?

I know where to stand.
I've been doing this since I was a child.

All right,
our guests will enter here as always.

The reception line is here with the three
of you greeting the guests first.

Shake, shake, shake. Smile, smile, smile.

Peter and I will be there.

Yeah, shake, shake, shake.
Smile, smile, smile.

[keypad clacking]

[suspenseful music playing]

[curious music playing]

[tense music building]

[music intensifies, ends]

[women] Champagne, champagne, champagne.

And then Peter gives his opening remarks.
Do you need a refresh on the lines?

- [phone chimes]
- No.

And then Peter introduces me,
and I give the annual gala toast.

- [phone chimes]
- Clap, clap, clap.

Hey, do we have a pack and play?

- What?
- [Peter] I just heard.

Sarah and Rory are coming.

They're bringing
their spouses and the baby.

They're asking if we have a pack and play.

- We can get a pack and play, right?
- [Missy] Of course, sir.

What's a pack and play?

It's a pop-up portable crib that--

Your... Your kids are... Your kids are coming?

- Where?
- Here.

I offered to send them the plane.
I told you last night.

No... No, you didn't.
We're gonna have an infant at the gala?

Not an infant.

Our infant.
He can join the receiving line.

It's gonna be like old times.
The whole family.

Do they have black tie
on such short notice?

- Uh...
- [phone chiming]

I just told them to wear whatever.

Hello, hi.

[chuckling] Yeah.

Yeah, she's... she's very excited.

We both are.

[pensive music playing]

Jose, would you come with me
to Simone's room, please?

I would love to.

[Peter chuckling]

[music fades]

- [Michaela] It's time to go.
- Kiki, this isn't...

- This is not what it looks like.
- Please leave quietly.

No, but this isn't an accurate
representation of what happened.

I pushed... I pushed him away. I... I ran.

It doesn't matter.

But he... he kissed me.
I was as stunned as you are.

No, Simone,
you are not as stunned as I am.

I didn't know I could feel
this level of hurt.

There is nothing going on between us.

He made a mistake,
and he immediately owned up to it.

Then why did you hide it from me?

Because I knew
that it would devastate you.

And I... I actually, like...

I live my life not to devastate you.

Well...

Kiki, please.

[inhales sharply]

Please, I was...
I was following him, like you asked,

and... and he saw me.

[spluttering] Like, you know Peter.

Like, that's how... that's how you two met.
He came on to you too.

Jocelyn was not my friend.

You are my best friend,
and now you're a threat to my marriage,

and you've put everything I have built
at risk, and so now you have to go.

Kiki, please.

Jose will give you the termination papers
and the updated NDA to sign in the car,

and we will never speak
to anyone about this again.

Kiki, please.

Please, don't do this.

Can I have your phone, please?

[somber music playing]

And the photo?

Kiki, you're k*lling me.

I'm so sorry.

Jose, will you take her?

[somber music continues]

[gasps]

[music fades]

[Devon sighs]

There's only four hotels
on the entire island.

He's not at any of them.

Ow! Watch where you poke, bud.

- Sorry, Mr. DeWitt.
- [Devon sighs]

He's not at the hospital 'cause
I would've seen him. Where the hell is he?

- [sighs]
- What do you think of this getup?

Oh, Dad.

- Hmm?
- You look wonderful.

- It's not wearing me?
- No.

You are wearing it. Very dapper.

[man] Do you want to see
some cummerbund and tie options?

Yeah, let's see those. Thanks, Kenny.

What time does this thing start today?

Um, pre-gala drinks start at 5.

When do we go home?

Tomorrow is the plan.

Um, but I... have something
I want to run by you.

- Uh-oh.
- No, it's a good thing, I think.

Uh, I... I met this guy
on the island, and, um--

You and your men all the time.

Rude.

- Can I continue?
- Mm-hmm.

His name's Morgan, and he's, uh,

the captain of this big ship,
and he invited me on a trip with him.

Sailor, huh?

Yeah, the trip takes, like, a month.

A month?

[clicks tongue]

- Never mind.
- Wait a sec.

No, it's a stupid idea.

Do you like this guy?

[breathes deeply]

- I can't leave you alone for that long.
- Sure, you can.

- Pfft.
- Who's gonna give you your medication?

The VA.

They'll mail it to the house.
I just gotta fill out some forms.

You won't go outside.
You'll just drink too much and smoke.

Hey, the way I spend my remaining years
is up to me, so f*ck off.

You should go.

Your sister, she's got these rich dicks
lapping out of her hand.

[scoffs]

[inhales deeply]

You don't owe me sh*t.

[Kenny] Okay, Mr. DeWitt.

Pick your poison.

[Bruce] Hmm.

Excellent choice.

Let me see about a pocket square now.

- [exhales]
- [Devon laughs]

You mean it?

- You'd be okay for a month?
- It's no big deal.

Pfft!

I'll be fine.

Yeah, I mean, it's just a month, right?

Exactly.

[chuckles]

I love you, Simone.

Dad.

I'm Devon.

[pensive music playing]

Are you okay?

[inhales deeply]

I know we were talking
about something important

that really matters to you.

But I... [exhales]

[exhales sharply]

It's okay.

- It's okay.
- I'm so sorry.

- It's okay. It's okay.
- [breathing heavily]

[somber music playing]

I'm in hell.

[Bruce exhales deeply]

[footsteps approaching]

Oh, Missy, hey.

What's going on?

I'm here to help you pack.

[humming]

Okay. Let us get this show on the road.

[inhales] You want to listen
to some tunes, huh? While we drive?

Simone?

You okay back there, Simone?

[clears throat]

Okay.

[engine starts]

[pensive music playing]

- [engine stops]
- [car door opens]

- Dad, I told you to change.
- [car door closes]

I choose to wear this.

Okay. Hey, what the f*ck's going on?
Why are we getting kicked out?

Uh, I'm afraid your sister was let go,
so I'm here to take you to the ferry.

What?

- What do you mean? She got fired?
- Yeah.

Simone.

Simone, what happened?

Simone.

- What did you do to her?
- [Jose] Me? I... Nothing. I...

She must just be in shock.

[Devon] Well, yeah,
that job was her entire personality.

- Why did she get fired?
- Something about a theft.

Theft?

[phone chiming]

Simone wouldn't steal a gumball.
She's never been in trouble in her life.

f*ck, it's the police. Hello?

Uh, are we going to the gala?

[Devon] So, um...

No.

Sorry. Uh...

Unfortunately, no. But you know what?
It wasn't even going to be fun anyway, so...

[blows raspberry]

So, I'm not going to meet Jim Kelly?

- Come on, Devon.
- [horn honking]

I'm coming! No, not you. I'm coming.
We'll be right there. f*ck.

Bye.

[intriguing music playing]

[Devon sighs]

Good news. Ray's alive.

Bad news. He's in the drunk tank.

Can we make a pit stop
at the police station on the way out?

- You Buffalo people know how to party.
- [engine starts]

[dramatic music playing]

[music ends]

[chuckling] Oh, very nice, sir.

Thank you, Patrice. Have you seen Jose?

Uh, no, I believe
he's running some errands for Mrs. Kell.

- Is there something I can help you with?
- Uh...

I was going to have him collect
Rory and Sarah from the airport.

- Did I tell you that they're coming?
- Yes. It's so exciting.

You want me to have, uh,
maybe Carl or Eddy pick them up?

No, that's okay.
I'll just have Simone book a car.

Simone's not up there, sir.

Mrs. Kell let her go this morning.

She what?

[dramatic music playing]

[indistinct chatter]

[door slams]

You fired Simone?

Ah, yes, I did. So?

So I'm surprised. Why?

I don't trust her.

Didn't you just decide
to promote her yesterday?

She works for me, so it's my decision,

and it's my business.

Okay, but I'm surprised
we didn't talk about this.

What is there to talk about?

You two are close. You're like sisters.

[spluttering] And it seems
especially cold to fire her

moments after we hear
about her hellacious childhood,

and her father is here,
and Ethan falls off a cliff.

[inhales deeply]

It's a little monstrous, actually.

She stole my earrings.
I caught her red-handed.

What earrings?

These.

You lend her your jewelry all the time.

You dress her up like a doll.

It makes no sense
that she would steal those.

Well, I don't know why
she did what she did,

but she was disrespecting my property
and taking what was mine,

and I won't have it. So we're done.

Okay, so that's it. She's just gone.

You seem awfully concerned
about this girl.

Well, I... I think she's got a good heart.

She has a wonderful heart.

And the truth is I love her,
but I don't get to have her, do I, Pete?

[somber music playing]

We don't always get to have what we love.

[door opens, closes]

[pills rattling]

- [indistinct radio chatter]
- [door opens]

Miss DeWitt. Come on in.

Thank God. Get me out of here.

Oh my God, Lily, is that you? Lily!

[yelps] Kevin! Oh my God.

I have missed you, mama.

I tried to find you on Instagram,
but I lost my phone in the bath.

How's the cult rescue going?
I've been worried sick.

- So good. What are you doing here?
- [Lily-Rose] I don't know.

I'm just trying
to make this stallion my steed.

- Don't breathe on me.
- [chuckles] I'm not.

- Could you not?
- [chuckles]

This absolute king washed up
at the wedding I was at last night.

He walked out of the water
completely naked

like Daryl Hannah in Splash.

Fortunately, we have clothes
in the lost and found for the drunks.

I told you I was not drunk.
I had hypothermia.

- I have hypothyroid.
- [Devon, softly] Oh God.

[Lily-Rose sighs]

I had the most traumatic experience
of my life last night.

Oh, this story again.

I'll get his release paperwork.

- I got caught in a riptide.
- Thank you.

One minute, I'm in the shallow water.

Then the next, I'm a mile from shore
in this crazy current,

and I'm just getting pounded
and pounded on the rocks.

I thought I was gonna die.

That's very dramatic.
I'm glad you're okay.

[Ray] And then I had an epiphany.

The dark current is you.

[unsettling music playing]

You.

You have this crazy pull over me.

What am I even doing
on this island, Devon?

I almost made my wife a widow last night,

nearly left my son fatherless
because of you.

No. No, Ray.
I didn't invite you to this island.

You chose to be here.
You chose to go swimming naked.

No. You did this to me.

You did this.

- Do you want me to slap him?
- [Ray] I wanna go home.

I wanna be with Allie and Mason.
That's what my life is about.

I want to go home.

I gotta tell you something, Ray.

[dramatic sting]

[Devon] Yeah, well, I'm sorry.
I thought you were f*cking dead.

[Ray] Why would you answer
a dead man's phone?

[Devon] She called, like, 14 times.

[Ray] It doesn't matter
how many times she called.

- [clattering]
- [Lily-Rose yelps]

Stop kicking my bucket, you animal.

- Jose, would you mind?
- Yep.

- [Ray] We've been doing this for 30 years.
- [Devon] Who walks into the ocean naked?

[Ray] You told me to.

[door closes]

[muffled chatter]

[breathes deeply]

Can you hear me, Simone?

[chuckles softly]

No?

[breathes deeply]

I don't even remember why we're here.

[sighs]

I forget all the things
that I want to remember

and remember all the things
I want to forget.

Like the face of the police officer
when she came to take you away.

And the way that she said,

"Did you forget
there was a child in here?"

I didn't feed you.

I left you all alone
in your room for so long.

[somber music playing]

[Bruce] Uh...

I shut the door when you called out to me.

I'm sorry, Simone.

I'm sorry.

Hey.

Devon is going away,

and it's gonna be you and me again.

And... I will do better this time.

[unsettling music playing]

Simone.

Simone.

[music intensifies]

Perfect timing to choose right now
to be honest with everyone in our life.

- [door closes]
- [keys jangling]

Bye, Kevin. I'll see you soon.

Bye, Lil. Until next time.

Where's Simone?

[Simone] Hi.

Hi.

[gentle music playing]

I was just thinking about you.

[Simone] Huh.

[Peter] I'm sorry that you got fired.

I know it's my fault,
and I'm gonna fix it.

I don't want to work here anymore anyway.

But, um...

before I go, I need to tell you something.

[phone chiming]

Yes, Peter, talk to me.

[Peter] Where are you right now?

I'm driving in my car. Why, what's up?

[Peter] Are you alone?

Uh, no, no, I'm with Bruce and, uh, Devon

and you know, the... the nurse.
Why, what's up? You need something?

[Peter] Yeah. Can you take me off speaker?

Okay, hang on. Hang on, hang on.

- [brakes squeal]
- [car idling]

[exhales]

Talk to me.

Yeah.

Yeah, sure, of course. Okay.

Yeah, yeah. Copy that.

[call disconnects]

Sorry, guys, it's a change of plans.
I... I have to head back.

No, wait, wait, wait.

- I'm gonna get out. I'll get myself home.
- Okay.

What, uh... Hey, are you sure?

Later, D.

[Jose] Be careful.

[car door closes]

[dramatic music playing]

- [indistinct chatter]
- [camera clicking]

- Hi.
- Hi, Michaela.

Have you seen Peter?

- No, Mrs. Kell. Champagne?
- No. Will you go find him?

[dramatic music continues]

Okay, I need you
to stay in the car, please.

Do not get out. I will be right back.

[Bruce] Mmm.

Dad, stay where you are.
I'm gonna go look for Simone.

[suspenseful music playing]

[Jose grunts]

[beeping]

[safe unlocks]

[music intensifies]

[envelope rustles]

[sighs]

[speaking Spanish]

f*ck.

- [jaunty music playing]
- [indistinct chatter]

- Surprise.
- [sighs]

[Morgan chuckles]

We, uh... We still on for tonight?

- Listen, I--
- Oh no.

I really want to come. I do.

[inhales deeply]

I can't.

Man, I was really excited.

Next time.

And, um, thank you...

for being so sweet to me.

[Morgan chuckles]

I just bought all this fresh fruit,
and I was gonna make you crepes.

Excuse me. I'll be right back.

Would you excuse me for just a moment?

- What are you doing here?
- Where's Simone? Is she here?

No, I thought she'd be
on the ferry with you by now.

- sh*t, we lost her.
- She isn't with Jose?

No, she took off.

By the way,
you got some big nerve firing her.

- Um, would you find Peter for me, please?
- [Lisa] Of course.

You know, Simone doesn't even take
free samples at Trader Joe's.

She works her a*s off
for everything she has.

And she is devastated right now

because she worships
the ground you walk on, you stupid b*tch.

- You don't know what you're talking about.
- You prance around here saving birds,

telling my sister that she belongs here
and that you're her friend,

and then you rip it away for what,
because you felt like it?

- Could you keep your voice down?
- Oh, you want me to keep my voice down?

Will you ping Jose for me? Thank you.

[Devon] I've had your number
since day f*cking one.

That's right. Me. I have.
You know what you are?

You're a megalomaniac,
cult leader, sl*t, wh*re, and a m*rder*r.

[guests murmuring]

Yeah, that's right. We all know
what you did to Jocelyn, babe.

[inhales deeply] Jocelyn Kell lives
on an island off Washington state.

She's a recluse who hasn't been seen
in public for over ten years

because she was d*sfigured
by plastic surgery after the divorce.

An injection hit an artery
causing necrosis,

which means that half of her face
is dead flesh, and she's blind in one eye.

[inhales deeply] It's very sad.
She's in agony most of the time,

and we try to respect her privacy
by not speaking about her publicly.

Oh.

Is there anything else
you'd like to air out

in front of our friends
before Jose sees you out?

- No, that's it.
- [Michaela] Thank you.

- Jose will see you out.
- [Devon clears throat]

[guests murmuring]

- Where is Jose?
- Okay, I'll see myself out.

[suspenseful music playing]

It's done.

- Good work. Thank you, my friend.
- Of course. [chuckles]

Pedro.

Are you sure you want to do this again?

I'm sure.

It might get messy, you know.

That's why I have you.

Yeah. [chuckles]

[inhales deeply] Ay, Dios.

On Instagram,
he can't stop saying "bacon pancakes."

- No. No.
- He says it all the time.

That's astonishing.
You would never think--

- Michaela.
- Uh... Oh.

- I need to talk to you.
- But I'm... I'm in the middle of something.

Right now, please.

Please excuse me. I'll be right back.

Can you give us the room, please, folks?
Thank you very much.

What is it? Wh-- What's so important
that we need to speak about it now?

I'm not happy.

I don't think
I've ever been happy in this marriage.

Is this about my reaction
to your kids coming?

Because I admit, I was surprised,
but I'm... I'm excited now.

I'm... I'm excited to see them.

You have systematically discouraged me

from knowing my own children
for over a decade.

- As much as I have tried to convince--
- Oh my God, this again?

You ruined your relationship
with your children.

You pursued me.

You left Jocelyn.
You let them demonize me.

- I'm letting you go, Kiki.
- [scoffs]

What are you even talking about?
We're in the middle of the gala.

I'm sorry if this is abrupt,

but now that I've seen it,
I cannot unsee it.

See what?

You were gonna spend the rest of the day,
the rest of our lives,

with incriminating photos of me
hidden in a safe.

[sighs]

Simone told you.

Yes. Simone cared enough
about me to warn me.

Yes.

And now those photos have been destroyed.

I wasn't going to do anything with them.
They were just...

It was just an insurance policy.

Good marriages don't need
an insurance policy.

Ours does.

You and your lawyers made sure of that.

I gave up my career for you,

and you gave me a prenup
that only values my f*cking ovaries!

The aviary is mine. I want it.

No one knows how
to take care of those birds but me.

Simone knows.

Don't be the fool
that f*ck the assistant.

[clicks tongue] It's not about Simone.

It's about me

wanting love and light in my life.

About me needing to feel like my journey

on this planet has been rich
and worthwhile

and... and full of goodness.

You're a walking cliché.

I want my kids, my grandkids,

running around in here.

I may even decide to have
another baby of my own. Who knows?

Having a baby
won't make you any younger, Pete.

[Peter] Hmm.

Yeah, I think, uh,

we should let our lawyers
handle the rest of this conversation.

Jose?

[Michaela] Oh, I...

Um, no, I can... [sniffles]

I can see myself out.
That's... [inhales deeply]

[footsteps approaching]

[unsettling music playing]

[inhales deeply]

Don't you look beautiful
in that dress I had made for you?

Hey hey.

[tender music playing]

You really do look lovely.

[Jose] I'd like to second that,
Miss DeWitt.

Very striking,

mi amor.

Thank you, Jose.

Excuse me.

[music fades]

[exhales]

You okay?

Are you?

Yeah.

[tender music playing]

[inaudible]

Hey.

Hey, where's...

where's your dress?

What are you doing?

What do you mean?

You're with Peter now?

Oh, yeah, it, like...
it, like, just happened.

Um, look, my hands are still shaking.
We found each other on the beach.

Oh God, like magnets.

We had this whole conversation,
and then at the end,

I was like, "Okay, bye,"

and then he was like... [chuckles]
"Wait, I need to tell you something."

"I think I'm in love with you."

- And then once he said it, I--
- What about Michaela?

What about Michaela?

If it doesn't serve you,

let it go.

Wow.

Okay.

"Wow, okay." [chuckles]

What, why are you saying it like... judgy?

You took her husband.

He came on to me.
I didn't initiate any of this.

What, am I not supposed to walk
through a door that opens?

Yeah. Okay, good luck with that door.

[chuckling] Devon, wait. Come on.

This day has been a total win.

I'm not getting fired.
You're not going home with Dad.

Morgan is here.

He's looking smoking hot in a tux.

Like, do you have any idea
how fun this night's gonna be?

[clears throat] Yeah, no, I do.

I know how fun this night will be.
I'm gonna go home with Dad.

- Devon, come on.
- I want to go home and take care of Dad.

Dropping out of college
to take care of you

is the best thing I've ever done.

I don't think you understand
how proud I am of myself

that I did that.

You didn't serve me,

and I didn't let you go.

But now I have to.

Why do you sound so dramatic? It's...

It's not like...

[inhales]

You know?
It's not like I'm not gonna see you.

[sobbing]

[sniffles]

This fall, in the city, you know?

[clicks tongue] I'll fly you in,
and we can get pedicures.

- See a show. Okay.
- Yeah, that sounds good.

Yeah.

[Simone sobbing]

[sniffles]

Okay.

[inhales deeply]

[sighs] I've gotta go. This is like...

- Well, it's like a whole thing, but, um...
- Mm-hmm.

I love you.

You know? [sniffles]

I love you too.

[inhales deeply]

[somber music playing]

Bye. [inhales deeply]

[camera clicking]

[somber vocalization]

[glass clinking]

[Peter] Let's come together.

And we will begin

as we used to begin

with my toast.

[guests chuckle]

Here's... to all of you.

[guests toasting]

[somber music continues]

[glasses clink]

[sobbing]

[boat horn blowing]

[indistinct announcement over PA]

[indistinct chatter]

[Bruce] Don't know how good it is.

Two creams, two sugars.

[Devon] Mmm.

- Nice.
- I remembered.

[chuckling] Yeah. Good job.

[Bruce exhales]

You're a good girl.

Thanks, Dad.

I'll remember you.

[man over PA] Last call for boarding.

Last call for boarding.

[boat horn blowing]

[somber music playing]

Hey, Dad. Don't go anywhere, okay?
I'll be right back.

[boat engine revving]

[somber music continues]

Mind if I join you?

I saw you get on the boat,
and I wanted to come say something.

I don't know what exactly.

Sorry.

I guess.

Sorry for what?

Oh. [exhales]

m*rder allegations and...

cult accusations.

You know? Some light theft.

Some toiletries
and a couple gold necklaces.

[Michaela] Hmm.

Apology accepted.

[wind whistling]

What are you gonna do now?

Oh God, I have no idea.

What about you?

Buffalo with my dad.

But I think I'm gonna get my own place.

You know, like a grown-up. [laughs]

Somewhere with light.

You should cash that check I gave you.

Oh. [exhales]

No. I mean, that wouldn't be right.
It's $10,000.

Freebies are rare in this world.

Cash it quick before it bounces.

[laughs]

Okay.

- Thanks, Michaela.
- Hey hey.

[Devon laughs]

What is "hey hey," by the way?

- Oh, it's nothing.
- [chuckles]

Just something that I... I say,
and it became a thing.

People will do anything for you
when you're Mrs. Kell.

You just tell them what the rules are.

You think my sister's
gonna be okay with him?

No.

Well, who knows? You know?

I'm sure Jocelyn thought
the same thing about me,

but I had a pretty good run.

Took him 13 years
to decide that I was a monster.

You're not a monster, Michaela.

Neither is she.
