01x76 - Episode 76

[bunniefuu]

Mmm.

Nice.

I didn't hear you
come in last night.

You were dead to the world.

That client meeting
must've ran pretty late.

Mm, I canceled it.

I ended up doing
tequila shots with Ashley.

She needed
some consoling after--

Turning down
Derek's marriage proposal?

I guess he told you.

Yeah, but my thing is,
why does Ashley

need consoling
if she broke his heart?

[sighs] Ashley didn't mean
to hurt Derek.

She loves him.

She's just...

not ready to get married yet.

But why not?

She has her reasons.

Is one of them Andre Richardson?

[groans]

Damn tequila.

Need coffee.

ANDRE:
Coming right up.

Look who's finally awake.

Good morning, sleepyhead.

I guess I really
wore you out last night.

[Andre chuckles]

♪ ♪

[knock on door]

Dr. Montgomery,

it's delightful
to see you again.

Please, come in.

Thanks, Ms. Dupree.

Please, call me Madison.

Madison.
And please call me Dani.

I'm so glad you could join us.

Unfortunately,
my mother is out of town,

but Chelsea's
grandfather's upstairs.

He's getting dressed.

He so looks forward
to meeting you,

very much.

It's a little intimidating
meeting Senator Dupree.

Oh, don't be silly.

My father's...

Well, you'll see for yourself.

And we can't do anything until
my sister Nicole gets here.

We need all hands on deck.

Mom, can we just
dial it down to, like, 11?

And why does poor Madison
have to meet

practically the entire family
all at once?

Because she's
your new girlfriend

and you're in love.

-Mom.
-What? What?

Should I not
have said "girlfriend"?

Is that not the word
you're objecting to?

Did I mischaracterize
your feelings?

No, you didn't.

Good, 'cause I feel
the same way about you.

Well, look at that.

So, love is to be celebrated.

It doesn't come along every day.

And that's why
I want everyone, everyone,

everyone to meet this woman

who is putting
that light in your eyes.

And does that include
your new boyfriend?

First of all,
this is a Dupree gathering.

-Oh.
-Second of all,

I do not have a boyfriend.

And number three,

whatever he is,
he had other plans.

Now, let's go inside, shall we?

Last night was amazing.

I'm so glad you turned down
that proposal from Derek.

Otherwise, this
never would have happened.

How much tequila did I drink?

I... I can't remember a thing.

Aw, that's a shame.

Maybe you should
take a few sips of coffee

to clear your head.

[gasps]

Oh...

[knock on door]

Mm.

Oh, my God.

Baby, it's not even noon.

I'm making up for lost time.

-You want something?
-Hello?

Pregnant.

Well, I am very
well aware of that fact,

and I couldn't
be happier about it,

but I meant something
non-alcoholic.

No, thanks.

You know, it's good to be back.

I miss all the comforts of home.

Down, boy.

The last time we tried that,
you wound up in the hospital.

I left my gym bag
when I moved out.

I would have called first,
but I wondered

if you might
tell me not to come over.

You're always welcome here.
That hasn't changed.

Look, I know you're hurt.

I get it.
But please, Derek,

understand, I didn't mean to
hurt you.

Oh, I get it.

You just
didn't want to marry me.

[Ashley sighs]

If you heard what I said--

And now I didn't hear you?
That's the problem?

So you said yes to my proposal
and I just misheard you?

I said that I didn't
want to marry you now,

not when you're proposing as
a Band-Aid to fix our problems.

That's an awful reason
to get married.

Apparently so is "I love you."

I love you too, Derek.

And I-I want to marry you.

I want to have kids someday

and live our lives together.

Great.

Just not right now.

Not while we're like this.

When then, Ash?

Because we know all too well

that nothing's
certain in this world.

We see it every day at our jobs.

Is it so wrong for me to try
to have forever with you?

To be happy
with the woman I love?

We haven't been happy lately.
That's the problem.

And not getting married
until God knows when

is supposed to, what,

age us until we're just right,
like wine in a barrel?

Magically make us

more honest with each other,
more understanding,

more ready to get married?

Forget it, Ashley.
It's not gonna happen.

[groans]

Ash, you-you okay?

[grunts]

Hey, Andre. What brings you by?

I come bearing
cinnamon lattes, Uncle Ted.

And, uh, I gotta give you
a heads-up on something.

Oh.

Must be important if you feel

you need to smooth the way
with a cinnamon latte.

Well, Dani knows that I told
you about our relationship.

How'd she take that?

Turns out, she actually
told somebody, too.

Yeah, her best friend,
uh, Pamela.

Oh, so the secret

isn't so much
of a secret anymore?

Does this mean
the two of you are

planning on going public?

I think Dani's
more open to the idea now.

Yeah. Uh, especially
since Kat and Chelsea

have pretty much
figured it out already.

I wonder how long
until Nicole finds out.

I can only imagine
how my wife is gonna react.

Morning. So what's
this family meeting all about?

Madison. Is everyone okay?
Why is there a neurologist here?

Because she's Chelsea's
new girlfriend.

Oh! Uh,
that-that's, uh, wonderful.

I-I-I had, um, no idea
that Chelsea was...

Or that Madison was...
[sighs]

Seeing each other.

It's a lovely sentiment, Sissy.

Grammatically torturous,
but lovely.

My grammar would be better
if I wasn't blindsided.

But I am happy
for the both of you.

Nice to have you here, Madison.

Thanks, Nicole.

Thank you, Auntie.

I hope that Granddad
feels the same way.

So do I. Daddy can be
a tough audience sometimes.

That man can reduce you to tears
before you know what hit you.

I'll never forget the day
he grilled my first boyfriend.

Practically obliterated
the poor thing.

It might have
had something to do

with the fact that you were
seven years old at the time.

And I'm still not over it.

[laughter]

Maybe this was a mistake.

It's too soon for us to
be doing something like this.

I guess I was just
excited about you, about us,

and that rubbed off on my mom,

who is the one who planned
all of this in the first place.

Why did I say yes?
I should have known better.

DANI:
Oh, no, the crime of excitement.

Lock me up
and throw away the key.

Daddy is just very
protective of his family.

Starting the party without me?

I'm guessing tequila.

This is really nice. Thank you,

but I'm not ready for fruit.

Start with a tea.

It's ginger.

Unless you think your stomach
will do better with peppermint.

No, this is good.

Want some dry toast?

[groans]

No sudden movements.

At least not until
you get that painkiller down.

You have to work today?

In a couple of hours.

So...

what are we gonna do?

Are we gonna fight for this,

or are you
gonna run away from it?

You're the one who's running.

I'm trying to save us.

I'm on board with that.

[groans]

God. Maybe I didn't say it
in the right way last night,

but I want
to save us, too, Derek.

Let's figure out what's working
and do more of that.

Look, I'll do anything
to make it better.

Except marry me.

[sighs] Because
marriage isn't the answer.

[sighs]

Can we-- Let's just
think of something else.

I gave it my best shot,
and that didn't work for you,

so I'm fresh out of solutions.

You know,

if you're gonna give up now,

what makes you think
you can stick out a marriage?

You know,
that's gonna take a lot more

give-and-take than
you're willing to give me now.

Yeah, only because...

Never mind.

You're not feeling well, and--

And you're helping me
to feel better.

I mean, look at all this.

Look at you taking care of me.

How could I not love you?

You are the kindest,

bravest, most wonderful guy.

Can we please put in the work
and get past this, Derek?

Just-just tell me
what you were gonna say.

I...

Ashley, I don't think
you're being honest with me.

I don't believe
it's about the timing.

-It is.
-And how much time you need?

A week?

Six weeks? Couple years?

I wish I knew.

Here's the thing,

I'm not sure
you're ever gonna say yes.

And I think I know why.

Why?

You're gonna want a latte
when you're done with that tea.

I'll take your keys.

Don't forget
to take the ibuprofen.

I'll be right back.

[door closes]

You think Ashley
and Andre are involved?

I didn't say that.

But my gut tells me Andre
has feelings for Ashley.

And if I'm right,
it makes me think Ashley

might have
feelings for him, too.

And this is all
based off your famous gut?

Well, it hasn't failed me yet.

But, look, I'm not just
operating off police instincts.

It's the way Andre
looks at Ashley.

But what have you seen?

It's not like you're
in their company very often.

I was with Andre last night.

-With Ashley?
-No, no, no, no.

Just with Andre.
But he did tell me

that she told him
that she turned down Derek,

which means they had
to have gotten together

shortly after it happened.

Ashley and Andre
are just friends.

Yeah, he pretty much
told me the same thing.

-You asked him?
-I'm a cop, babe.

Cops ask questions.

But he told me
he felt sorry for Derek,

but my BS detector went off.

Sorry, is that different

-from your gut?
-[laughs]

You can't tell me the same
idea didn't cross your mind.

Well, I did ask Ashley

if she was interested
in somebody else.

-See, I knew it.
-And she said no. She said no.

But did you believe her?
What did your gut tell you?

I don't have a gut,

thanks to all those
Pilates classes.

Oh, well,
I have to investigate that.

No, no, no. No, no. Stop.
Don't... don't start.

I have to go to that family
meeting this morning.

Aren't you
already late for that?

Yeah, I told my mom not
to expect me for another hour

because I want to check on Dad.

All right,
well, we better hurry.

Don't worry. I'll be quick.

Oh, just what
every girl wants to hear.

[laughs]

And what the hell
is this supposed to be?

A doctor-approved
heart-healthy breakfast.

Okay, well, give it to
the doctor that approved it,

and give me my steak and eggs.

[scoffs]

Man comes home from the hospital

and his wife rejects him
and starves him.

Baby, your loving wife

just wants
to take good care of you.

Yeah, well, we clearly
don't agree what good care is

in this context.

At least I don't have
to do that damn P.T. anymore.

-What?
-[phone chimes]

Hmm. Better gird your loins.

Why?

Hayley, what's going on?

Ah, good morning, all.

Ready to get to work?

No. And the law is my work.

These ridiculously
easy exercises

are a waste of time, Shanice.

We talked about this
in the hospital, Mr. Hamilton.

Dr. Montgomery wants you
to continue the P.T. at home

for the time being.

I never heard her say that.

Ah, ah, ah, ah, ah.

Did you forget we're monitoring
your alcohol intake?

It's one of the things
you pay me for.

Well, I'll pay you
not to work on me.

[laughs]

And they say
you don't have a sense of humor.

Who said that?

Got a wonderful sense of humor.

Did the fruit stay down okay?

Thanks.

It was exactly what I needed.

I was gonna send you
money for the latte.

That would have
really pissed me off.

Which is why I didn't do it.

Well, if you're good,
I'm gonna grab my bag

-and head out.
-No, Derek,

you can't leave me
hanging like this, okay?

You think I'm not
telling you the truth

about why
I don't want to marry you?

What other reason
could there be?

I don't know.

Maybe you're holding out
for something better.

Someone better
than a firefighter.

There is no one
better for me than you.

And no one else?

Dani said that she was worried
about how Aunt Nicole

would react when she finds out
about me and Dani.

Well, maybe she's right
to be concerned.

I mean, Nicole looks at you
like you're one of her kids.

Yeah, but I'm not

related to Dani, and barely even

to Aunt Nicole,
except through you.

So you think there's more
to her wanting

to keep what the two of you have
going on under wraps?

I think she's just uninterested

in people knowing
about us because...

she thinks I'm gonna
hurt her, like Bill.

And if people know
that we're together,

then... I don't know,

maybe she's nervous
that I'm gonna hurt her

or embarrass her.

-She denied it?
-No.

She pretty much
admitted that I was right.

But I told her
that I'm not like Bill

and that I'm not gonna hurt her.

I have no intentions
of hurting her.

And that's the truth, Unc.

I really care
about Dani very much.

Well, so did Bill.
Enough to marry her.

But that didn't stop him
from hooking up

with their daughter's
best friend.

Well, look at that.

Ah, Naomi. At last.

I didn't know you'd be
so happy to see me, Dad.

He's just grateful
for any excuse

to stop doing his exercises.

Well, this workout
doesn't look so bad.

You tell him, Naomi.
It's much easier

than those Pilates classes

we used to take, remember?

It was a long time ago, Hayley.

You know,
before you got pregnant

with my baby brother or sister.

Hey, hey, Naomi, come on.

There's no reason
for that attitude.

No, it's okay, Bill.

Naomi's entitled to how
she feels about me,

even though I thought we were
starting to get past that.

After everything you've done,

I'm not about to embrace you
as my stepmother.

Although I already told you,
I am grateful to you

for taking
such good care of my dad.

That's fair.

But don't blame me
for pushing for more.

I miss my friend.

Shanice, maybe
we should take a break,

give father and daughter
a minute alone?

I... don't suppose
a short one will hurt.

So, how are you feeling?

Eh, just embarrassed

that I have to keep doing
these ridiculous P.T. exercises.

Although, I am

-growing fond of my cane.
-Oh.

[chuckles] Check that out.

-Dad, what the--
-Oh, no, hush.

I'm getting
the hang of this thing.

-Okay.
-Yeah.

-[groans]
-Okay. All right, all right.

Why don't we stick
to our real rehab?

Let me get Shanice back in.

No, no, no, no, no, no, no.

Not until I finish
questioning the witness.

The witness, is it?

-Hmm.
-[chuckles]

Do you have to be
so hard on Hayley?

Yes.

Sorry.

Look, I'm not
asking for an apology,

but I would like an explanation.

I mean, she hasn't done anything

to deserve the way
you spoke to her.

I will let that one slide
for the moment

and say it's not Hayley's fault
that I'm in a mood.

This time.

I'm just
a little soured on coupledom

in general at the moment.

You and Jacob okay?

Yeah, we're fine.

But my best friend's
relationship

is falling apart.

Where are my manners?

I'm Vernon Dupree.

I'm Madison Montgomery,

and I'm so honored
to meet you, Senator Dupree.

Well, it is a pleasure
to meet Chelsea's new friend,

about whom I've heard
absolutely nothing.

Let's have a seat
and remedy that omission.

Madison is--

Chelsea, please let your friend
speak for herself.

So, Madison, uh,

I understand you two
met at the hospital.

Connected at the hospital, yes.

I can't go too much
into detail about that

because of HIPAA.

I can.
Madison is Dad's neurologist.

That's one strike against her
already, saving that dog.

Hush, Dani.

In fact, both of my daughters,

maybe you should
give me a moment alone

with this happy couple.

-Daddy, we don't have to.
-I don't think-- No.

But I do.

Now, come on.
Run along, you two.

Don't you love
how we're instantly children?

Indeed.

Mom, Aunt Nicole, it's okay.

-Daddy, go easy on them.
-Please?

So, Madison,
tell me a little about yourself.

There's not really
a lot to tell.

Um, I graduated top of my class
at Georgetown Prep,

did a combined college

and medical school program
at Banneker,

and my neurology residency
at Johns Hopkins.

How do you like
those credentials, Granddad?

I wonder if this
family meeting was a good idea.

I think it might
have gone a little smoother

if Naomi were here.

You said she's checking on Bill?

Yeah, his first day home
from the hospital.

He's coming along,
off the walker,

using a cane, still doing P.T.

You seem very knowledgeable
on this topic.

Father of my children, Nicole.

Lowlife scum
who done you dirty, Sissy.

It makes me dance
when you speak of Bill

with loathing and contempt.

[laughs]

You would do the same for me.

Oof, don't even
get me started on Ted.

I just hope Madison
is a little more careful

with my girl's heart than
Bill and Ted were with ours.

So this is really serious?

Chelsea says she's in love.

What better way to test that out

than to put them
through the Daddy gauntlet?

Hmm, I suppose.

And frankly,
I am so tired of secrets.

If my husband
had told me the truth

instead of lying to me

for nearly 30 years,
a whole lot of hurt

and bitterness
could have been avoided.

I have something to tell you.

What? What is it?

It's about Andre and me.

Andre.

Richardson?

We've been
sleeping together for months.

You've accomplished a lot
for being so young.

And she's just getting started.

Oh, I have no doubt.

Has Chelsea told you much
about the Duprees?

A little.

Well, we're family first,
as we say.

We circle the wagons
at the first hint of trouble.

Which is not

to try to scare you off,
but to underscore

how close we are.

We'll do just about anything

to protect our loved ones.

Sounds admirable.

We think so.

Which is why I find it curious

that my daughter would set up
this meet and greet

so soon after you two met.

Uh, Chelsea,

correct me if I'm wrong.

Hasn't it been ages
since you've brought

somebody over here to meet us?

What am I to infer from that?

It was Mom's idea.

Which you went along with.

Have you ever tried
to tell her no?

[chuckles]

Why don't you just try

telling your grandfather
the truth?

You're sleeping with Andre?
My nephew Andre?

Your nephew by marriage.

You are not blood-related
to him, and neither am I.

Thank God for small favors.

-Are you upset?
-Of course I am, Dani!

How could you
do something like this?

I think once Nicole
thinks about it,

she won't be so upset

about you and Dani
being together.

I mean, she should be happy
the two of you have hit it off.

[scoffs] Hit it off?

Well, I hope so.

I wouldn't want to add
to the stress that Aunt Nicole

has already been under.

You mean because of me?

I didn't mean to rub it in.

No, it's, uh...

it's my bed,

and, uh, I'm lying in it.

All alone.

So, where do things
stand between you and her?

I think you told me
that you were going to,

-what, send her something?
-Flowers.

Ah.

I wanted to give her something

that would remind her
of happier times

without pushing her.

I get that you don't
want to pressure her,

but that doesn't mean that
you don't have to push at all.

A relationship is like a shark,

and it has to keep moving
forward or it's gonna die.

Of course there's no one else.
What are you talking about?

Never mind. I should be
getting out of your hair.

No, I want to know
what you meant.

You think
I've been cheating on you?

Because I have never,

would never do that to you.

Well, at least there's that.

Wow.

Okay, good. So now I get
credit for not cheating on you.

God, I didn't realize
we were so far apart.

Derek, if we could
just connect, even a little.

Those days are over.
And so are we.

I don't know what to say.

Because there is nothing.

Well, uh...

Yeah, so then, I wish you well.

God, that was a really stupid,
cliché thing to say.

I wish you all the happiness
in the world, Derek.

I wish you the same, Ash. Th--

That's all
I ever wanted for you.

And I'm sorry

I couldn't be the one
to make it happen.

-[cries]
-[door closes]

So, what's going on with
your friend's relationship

that's upsetting you so?

I don't want to get into it.

I came here to check on you

and make sure you were following
Dr. Montgomery's orders.

Yeah, well,

unfortunately.

[groans]

Well,

I'm glad to see
you're doing the P.T.,

even though
you think it's silly.

Hmm. Yeah. If I'd have known
this medical hiccup

would have gotten me
so much sympathy,

I would have
had a stroke a long time ago.

Dad, that's not even funny.
Please don't joke about that.

This could have been
really serious, okay?

And as mad as I still am
at you, the thought of...

...the thought of you not being
around anymore is unbearable.

So please, just promise me
you'll take care of yourself.

Okay. Okay.

Come here.

I want my marriage
not to just survive,

-but to thrive.
-Then it will.

Just keep on swimming,
Uncle Shark.

And then you will
win back Auntie Shark.

I appreciate the sentiment.

And the cinnamon latte.

Hey, anytime.

And if everything works out
how it's supposed to,

maybe one day, me and Dani
can go on a double date

with you and Aunt Nicole.

[laughs]

That would be interesting, huh?

Unc and Neph
romancing two sisters?

Well, when you put it that way,
it is kind of weird.

But, hey,
stranger things have happened.

Well, they certainly have.

Let's just hope
the Dupree sisters

are on the same page, too.

Yeah.

Nicole, I don't understand

what you're acting
so surprised about.

You suspected something was
going on between Andre and me.

And you denied it.

I was lying.

Exactly. You were lying,

Ted was lying, Eva's lying.

Everybody is lying
to poor, stupid Nicole.

Nobody thinks you're stupid,
Sissy, especially not me.

Don't "Sissy" me, Dani.
Not when I'm furious with you.

But I don't understand why.

Because Ted betrayed me,

and now you are
sleeping with his nephew.

It's not like
I'm sleeping with Ted.

No, that would be Leslie.

Oh, come on.

You know Ted's not interested
in that tacky psycho.

Why? Because they are so
hideously wrong for each other?

Like you and my nephew,

who's young enough
to be your son?

Andre is not that young.

Could you not
just sleep with somebody

a little more age-appropriate?

You know what?
Forget about age.

Just someone
appropriate, period.

[sighs]

I care about Andre.

I rely on his support.

So, why wouldn't you want us
to be happy together?

Are you jealous?

Yes. That's it, Dani.

I am jealous.

I wish I was
sleeping with my nephew.

You know
that is not what I meant.

Look, I am sorry.

Please, please,
just forget I said anything.

Everybody wants me
to forget and forgive.

Excuse me if it is
not that easy.

Baby, what... what's happening?

Why are you crying?
And where's Shanice?

She had to get back
to the hospital.

Well, that's no reason to cry.

I say
it's a reason to celebrate.

Not funny, Bill.

Okay.

I don't know why
everyone's attacking

my sense of humor today.

Look, tell me what's wrong.
What happened?

Baby, did Shanice do something?

No, she didn't do anything.

Okay, then tell me
what-what's wrong.

It's nothing.

Your tears say otherwise.

Baby, how can I fix it

if you don't
tell me what's wrong?

It's all just hitting me.

You're making c*ck

and twirling your cane around
like everything is fine.

Well, because everything
is fine.

How can you say that?

I came so close to losing you.

I could have been here all alone

with our unborn child.
Like, Bill...

...you are all that I have.

No family, no friends even.

Nobody else but you.

If I lost you, I...

...I wouldn't know what to do.

Hey, hey.

I'm not going anywhere, okay?

Where's Nicole?

She had to go back to work.

So, how are things
going in here?

I think Granddad thinks Madison
and I are moving too fast.

Well, Madison,

I don't know what Chelsea
has told you about our family.

Mom, we have much
more interesting things

to talk about
other than the Duprees.

DANI:
Really?

Anyway, we have had to weather

several personal storms
over the past few months,

and we've rallied,
as we always have.

But it's made us
even more vigilant

about outsiders, so to speak.

I can certainly understand that.

I hope you also understand
that if my father was

a little overly cautious,
it's only because

he doesn't
want Chelsea to suffer

the way her mother
and aunt already have.

I would never
do anything to hurt Chelsea.

She's much too dear to me.

I believe you, Madison.

And I'm delighted to see

such genuine affection
between the two of you.

Thank you, Senator Dupree.

My friends call me Vernon.

Thank you, Vernon.

I came
as soon as I got your text.

What's wrong?

Why are you
so nice to me, Naomi?

I'm nobody.

I can't pay you.

Hell, I can't even
pay for this cup of coffee.

I had to tell the waitress

you were meeting me
and you'd pick up the tab.

I will handle the coffee.
That's nothing to worry about.

But, June, why did you text me?

What's wrong?

As much as I'm used to it,

I'm never okay
with the humiliation.

I'm homeless,

but I'm not evil or malicious.

Or deserving
of disrespect, am I?

Of course not.

You are genuinely
a fine human being,

and I am privileged to know you.

We'll see if
you still think that

after I tell you
why I asked you here.

Thank you.

They came in
the middle of the night.

No warning. Silent, like ghosts.

They didn't hurt anybody,
as far as I know.

But they took everything.

Who?

They call them the cleanup crew.

They raid homeless camps
every once in a while.

We thought we were safe

because we're out of the public
eye, under the overpass.

-Mm-hmm.
-We've always been safer
out of sight.

But not this time.

And you weren't hurt?

They're not trying
to beat us up,

just get rid of us.

They took all my stuff.

Thieves.

I need you
to help me get it back.

Of course. Of course.

I just...
I need more information, okay?

Descriptions and a list
of the stolen property.

They stole my picture, Naomi.

Why the hell
do they need a picture

of two little kids?

Couldn't they
at least have left me that?

I promise, I will help you
get your belongings back,

especially that picture. Okay?

Hey.

I'm sorry I'm late.

No problem.
I just got here myself.

But these pretty flowers
just arrived.

I bet they're from
that hunky boyfriend of yours.

[laughs]

They're probably not.

We just broke up.

I'm gonna put my stuff down
and get ready for my shift.

[elevator dings]

Any messages?

No, but these came for you.

Looks like someone's determined

to get back in
your good graces, Dr. R.

So, what happened
between you and Nicole?

Nothing, she just had to
get back to work, that's all.

That's your story,
and you're sticking to it?

-To the bitter end.
-Hmm.

So, what'd you really
think about Madison?

Well, I said exactly
what I thought.

She's a lovely young woman,

very accomplished,

and she seems to be
genuinely fond of our Chelsea.

Do I hear a "but"?

If there is one, it's only about

the speed of the relationship.

This whole fiasco with Bill

didn't do Chelsea's
emotional state any favors.

I know.

I'm not the only one
that b*stard hurt.

And even though she

may not have acted out
as dramatically as her mother...

...Chelsea is still very much
wounded and seeking comfort.

Hasty decisions
made in that frame of mind

can come back and haunt you.

Sweetheart, you're crying
about losing someone

who's right here,
holding your hand.

Hmm? Now, doesn't that
sound silly?

[sighs] You're right.

You are here,

you're just fine

and you're not going anywhere,

No, that's for damn sure.

Okay, let me take a minute
to pull it together.

Oh, Shanice left

a list of exercises
for you to do

when she's not here.

And she knows exactly
what she can do with that list.

Good morning.

It's Bill Hamilton here.

Listen, there's
a little something

I need you to do for me.

Yeah. I want to take out
a life insurance policy.

Uh, yeah.
Let's say, um, $10 million.

With my wife Hayley
as sole beneficiary.
