01x127 - Episode 127

[bunniefuu]

Hey, babe, you're up early.

-I've had a lot on my mind.
-Yeah, tell me about it.

It's been a crazy few days.

Thank goodness it's all over
so we can get back to normal.

You're right.

Let me make you some breakfast
before you head out.

Uh, no need, babe.

Have a breakfast meeting
with a client.

-This early?
-No. Well, the meeting
is a little later.

I'm gonna stop by Dani's first
and check on Chelsea.

That's a wonderful idea.

Give me a minute to get dressed
and I'll come with you.

Oh, don't-don't bother, babe.
It's not necessary.

So, once again, I'm not wanted.

What am I supposed
to take from that?

Naomi said she
and the rest of the family

were so glad that you could
spend the night with Chelsea.

It was so nice of Kat to give us
the place to ourselves.

Well, I'm sure you two
could use a little privacy

after everything
you two have been through.

And Kat's there now,

so Chelsea won't be alone
when she wakes up.

Good, she shouldn't be alone
in the place

she was just kidnapped.

God, even saying
those words out loud,

I still can't believe
that it happened.

Chelsea and I have been trying
to make sense

of a thing that
just makes no sense.

And I can't help feeling
it was partly my fault.

Absolutely not.

Hear me out.

I got a bad vibe from Allison,

and I can't help but to think I
could've done more to stop her.

And poor Chelsea blames herself

because she didn't
see it coming.

Neither of you are to blame.

Allison is crazy, end of story.

I know, on a rational level,

that Allison is the only one
responsible for her actions.

And Chelsea?

I think she's
gonna need some time.

Morning, sleepyhead.
Let me pour you some coffee.

Thank you.
I've missed your brew.

Have as much as you like.

Madison had to leave
so that she could

get breakfast before work,
but she'll be checking in later.

Yeah, she told me last night
that she'd be meeting Ashley.

Did you sleep okay?

I was high-key exhausted.

I hardly closed my eyes the
whole time that I was...

gone.

Well, all you have to focus on
now is rest and self-care.

Leave everything
ChelseaKat to me.

-You are a wonder.
-Say that to your mirror.

I was just working
on a statement

about your return
to post to your socials.

Let the fans know the good news.

You don't need to do that.

Well, I'm not letting you do it.

Nobody needs to do it
because, um,

I'm gonna be deleting
all of my accounts.

♪ ♪

VANESSA:
Thank God Chelsea's back home.

Vanessa, it was the most
terrifying time of my life.

One thing I know for sure,

I will never again
take for granted

that my two girls
are healthy and safe.

I can lose everything else.
Nothing else matters.

You're preaching to the choir.

I'm fighting the urge
to snatch up my own two kids

and hold them so tight
they squeal.

The relief you must've felt

when you found out
Chelsea was all right

after imagining the worst.

When we got that phone call
from Kat...

even Bill had tears in his eyes.

And the most incredible
thing happened.

Details, please.

After everything that Bill
and I have been through,

we were able to come together.

In fact, we got each other
through that terrible ordeal.

It sounds crazy, I know.

Not to me. The bond between
parents is so much stronger

than the bond between lovers.

What do you think has kept Doug
and me married all these years?

ASHLEY:
Ah, Dr. McBride.

Hey, we miss seeing you
at the hospital.

Yeah. How's retirement
treating you?

Never been better.
Wish I hadn't waited so long.

Listen, you two,
a word of advice,

leave the grind
while you're still young

and healthy enough
to enjoy life.

Well, no. I just started doing
what I love,

so there's no way
I'm giving it up anytime soon.

Neither am I,
and I think I'd just get bored.

It hasn't been a problem for me.

I found plenty
to keep me occupied.

Don't work too hard.

Sup, Randy?

I didn't want to do this
over the phone.

Why do I have a feeling that you
are here to deliver bad news?

It's actually good news,

and I know you'll be
smart enough to see that.

I can't be a part of your plan
to take Joey down.

I'd be signing
my own death warrant.

Oh, God. I'm so sorry,
Derek, are you...?

Oh, glad to see you're awake
and ready to get started.

I've already started.

I've been through the whole
shoulder routine without you.

Are you shining on me so
I don't make you do them today?

Oh, ye little faith.

I've been keeping track
of all the exercises I've done,

including the number of reps.

Wow. I love seeing you tackling
your recovery the same way

you stayed on top of
your fitness before the injury.

Enough sweet talk,
put me to work.

Don't have to ask me twice.

There were times when I wondered

how much Bill ever really
loved our family.

I mean, it's one thing
to reject me,

hateful and hurtful as it was,

but to turn his back
on our daughters?

To act like he didn't care
what they thought?

Like it was worth losing
Naomi and Chelsea's affections

if he could be with Hayley?

I can understand how
you would see it that way.

When Hayley was pregnant,
it must've felt like Bill

was starting fresh
with someone new,

and to hell with his old family.

You didn't have to use
the "O" word.

But yes,
that made it much harder.

But I have to admit, now--

I misjudged him.

Bill adores our daughters,
and that never changed.

When Chelsea was out there
somewhere suffering,

and there was nothing
we could do about it,

drove him out of his mind
just as much as it did me.

We were in the same place
emotionally,

and I don't remember
the last time that was true.

-Sounds intense.
-It was.

But if this connection

that we've found
can be maintained...

...might be
the one silver lining

to come out of this whole
God-awful nightmare.

That would be great for you
and for your girls.

But how does Hayley
feel about it?

Who the hell cares?

I'm used to Dani and her family
treating me like I don't belong,

but it's a lot harder to take
coming from my husband.

Sweetheart, you are misreading
the situation.

Don't try to gaslight me, Bill.
I know what I see.

Listen, I am always and forever
on your side.

Team Hayley, okay?

That's why I recently laid down
the law again with the Duprees,

demanding that they treat you
with more respect.

Well, how can you expect them
to do that when you don't?

The whole time
Chelsea was missing,

you acted like I didn't matter,
or worse, like I was in the way.

I was trying to be supportive,

but you acted like
you didn't want me around.

You know what? I think
the best way for you to be

supportive right now
is to cut me some slack.

I have been out of my mind
with worry the last few days.

I know.

But the crisis has passed
and Chelsea's back home,

thank goodness.

So what is your excuse
for shutting me out now?

-Huh?
-Hayley.

Chelsea is in an extremely
fragile state right now.

And after everything
she's just been through,

she needs to take priority.

-Can't you understand that?
-Of course I understand.

I'm not stupid
and I'm not heartless,

but I'm also not invisible,

-and I will not put up with you
all pretending I don't exist.
-[doorbell chimes]

Even if it does make it
easier for everyone else

when I'm not around,
including you.

What I want to know is

how far are you willing
to take this?

Hayley, I don't have time
for this right now.

Bad time?

It's nothing for you
to be concerned about.

Thank you for the files
for my meeting.

Hayley, I'll see you later.

Whew.

Chilly in here.

Chels, I think you should wait
before doing anything drastic,

and it doesn't hurt to let folks
know what's going on with you.

There were a lot
of sweet posts from fans

who were really worried.

I'm just a character
on their feed.

They don't know me.

They think that they do,

and Allison
was one of those fans,

and more like a crazy stan.

I get why you want
to take a break from talking

to a whole bunch of strangers,
and I understand the assignment:

make you feel safe.

Maybe we can talk to your mom
about beefing up security here.

I know Uncle Bill is giving
the management company hell

for not picking up
on that fake pass

Allison used
to get past the gates,

so that nothing like this
ever happens again.

And we can hire a service
that'll manage

ChelseaKat social media

and give us a heads-up
when there's anything sus.

You don't understand, Kat.

The whole concept
of being an influencer is sus.

I work to create a false sense
of intimacy with my followers,

and it's-it's dangerous, and
I don't want to do it anymore.

You are a mind reader, Randy.

I was thinking I don't need
to take on Joey after all.

Better to just walk away.

Relieved to hear that.

But do you mean it?

Especially after the way
you were all hot

to spill to that detective.

Yeah, I was pretty fired up
at that point.

Acting a little reckless.

You think? Threatening
to drop a dime on Joey Armstrong

is more than a little reckless.

I've cooled off since then.

Had a talk with my wife.

Well, wait, you didn't tell
Vanessa about your plan

to drop a dime on Joey, did you?

No. No. Nothing like that.

Look, Vanessa,
she knows me better than anyone.

She can tell
I was starting to crack.

Then I started taking
all these crazy chances

because I felt like
I had nothing to lose.

Well, she assured me
that I hadn't lost anything,

and that she still loved me.

And that she had
broken it off with Joey.

I wonder how he took that.

That man never gave a crap
about Vanessa.

He was just using her
to launder money

through her real estate firm.

She told him they can still
keep that deal going.

And the more personal business?

Off the table.

That's smart of her.

Not messing with Joey's money.

Yeah, that's another reason
why I decided

to let him off the hook.

The money from those deals
started rolling in,

so I figured
why not have Joey finance

my and Vanessa's
luxurious second honeymoon?

That's the least
that b*stard can do.

Twenty-seven...

-twenty-eight.
-[door opens]

Good.

Ah, just on time.
We were just wrapping up.

Surprised to see you,
Dr. Montgomery.

I would've bet,
after everything that happened,

you'd take some time off.

Chelsea's home getting her rest,
which is what she needed most.

-And how is my patient?
-Absolutely nothing new here.

Yeah, I wouldn't say that.

-What are you talking about?
-It's time to come clean, Derek.

He's been kicking a*s and taking
names when it comes to his PT.

He even keeps notes
of all his exercises.

This man is hardcore.

-Yeah, I guess.
-You're a beast, babe. Admit it.

Okay, guilty as charged.

But other than crushing my PT,
no change,

so you might as well
just save yourself the trouble

of examining me

and just copy everything
from yesterday's chart.

If it's all the same to you,

I'd like to at least pretend
I'm serving a purpose.

-Mm.
-MADISON: Okay.

-Feel anything?
-No.

And how about here?

No.

MADISON:
And here?

Um... still nothing.

MADISON:
Right. Well,
don't get discouraged.

You're doing everything right,

and that increases the odds
things will go your way.

-Okay.
-Keep up the good work.

DEREK:
All right.

Can I get you anything?

Just a kiss.

But I'm guessing that's
probably against the rules.

Hmm...

Unfortunately,
the hospital is very strict

about their nurses fraternizing
with their patients.

Even with the special treatments
only you can give me?

Well, in that case,
I'm forced to make an exception.

I definitely hear you,
but your social media followers

are a huge part
of our business model.

Are you saying that our business

is more important
than my mental well-being?

Absolutely not, but I do think
anything to do with our business

should be a joint decision,

and I think you should wait

until you have
some more time to chill.

You think you're gonna
change my mind, don't you?

Well, I sure hope so.

Otherwise, I don't know
how we're gonna promote

all those purses we ordered
and planned on selling.

Selling purses is just the
last thing on my mind right now.

Of course it is.

Just, Chels, please
give yourself a break.

You don't have to make any
big decisions right this minute.

Knock, knock, knock. Hi. Just
dropping in to check on my baby.

-How you feeling this morning?
-I'm fine.

She wants to pull the plug
on all of her social media.

Really?

Every bit of it.

Are you saying this because
of what you thought yesterday?

That you somehow invited
Allison's violent behavior?

KAT:
Which is total B.S.,
because she was a psycho.

I know better than anyone
how disturbed Allison is.

Okay? I was the one that was
trapped in that cabin with her.

But there must be some reason

why all of her crazy
was fixed on me,

some message that I was sending
without realizing it.

And-and if I get rid
of my socials, it ends it.

Chelsea, you attracted Allison

the same way
you do everybody else,

by being your gorgeous,
joyful, radiant self.

If you let her ugliness
dim your shine, she wins.

Facts.

Unfortunately,
there will always be people

who feel entitled to take
what you're not willing to give,

but that's a sign of something
broken in them, baby.

Not you.

I just don't want
anybody's attention right now.

I just, I just want to hide.

Come on.

DANI:
Look, if you want
to duck and hide,

you have every right to do that.

But what would
your grandmother say?

-Duprees don't hide.
-DANI: That's right.

I'm not about to sit here and
tell you to stand up straight

and adjust your crown
until you're ready to,

but what I will say
is that you're in control.

Not Allison
and not anybody else.

No one is making your decisions
for you, not even me.

What about you, cousin?

If you're ready to swap the
spotlight for sensible shoes,

I'll pout for a little,
but I'll get over it.

But with you, honestly,
I just don't see you

ever being a wallflower.

It's not in your genes,
not with a grandfather like

Senator Vernon Dupree,
pillar of the movement,

or a grandmother
like Anita Williams Dupree,

musical diva and philanthropist,

and your father's a nationally
renowned defense attorney.

I'm shocked to hear you
give Dad so much credit.

Well, his reputation
is a reflection on me

and all of the time and effort
that I put into his career.

So, yes, I will give him
credit for that.

But don't forget
about your mother.

-As if anyone ever could.
-DANI: That's right.

Former model
and current co-owner

of a soon-to-be renowned
modeling agency.

Look, good or bad, you come from
a line of folks who have relied

on publicity in one way or
another to make their careers.

So, it-it makes sense
that you're comfortable

in front of the spotlight,

and that you learn to use it
to your advantage.

It just doesn't feel like much
of an advantage right now.

And I know
I'm not the only member

of the family
who's faced violence.

I mean, Gran and Granddad
faced threats

for speaking truth to power,
and I'm sure Martin still does.

But they can handle it.

And it's not like
I was fighting the good fight.

I was just using my stupid fame
to promote my business.

You want to step back
from being a celebrity?

No one's gonna stop you.

But I know you, Chelsea.

And I know how important it is
to you to help other people.

You're like your grandmother
in that way.

I remember you used to stop
playing video games with me

when Gran would have one
of her foundation meetings.

I thought it was interesting,
you know,

listening to all the ways
they would raise money

for all their different causes.

And a lot of that money was
raised off of your grandmother's

name and fame.

Just like her, you can use
your profile as a tool.

You could draw attention
to anti-violence initiatives

or raise money
for, uh, organizations

that help women
escape a*usive relationships.

I hadn't thought of that.

Something like that
is perfect for you, Chels.

You can mobilize your fans to
support causes you believe in,

and you could even make
a special bag

and the proceeds
can go to charity.

Gran could help you
with something like that.

Just think about it, Chels.

But ultimately, you do
what feels right to you.

[knock on door]

Hey. There she is.

How's my girl? Hey.

Three reasons why you need
the latest ChelseaKat bag.

It is hot, hot, hot.

CAROLINE:
ChelseaKat's new ads
are everywhere. Oh!

I can't wait to get one. Or two.

Please tell me
you've seen the collection.

Me? Hayley? The OG outcast
of Fairmont Crest?

-Thank you.
-Of course not.

Just another thing Bill's
been keeping me isolated from.

Speaking of,
I'm sorry you had to see that.

No apologies needed.
I've seen much worse from Bill.

It seems like whatever's going
on is hitting you pretty hard.

Yeah. I'm between a rock
and a hard place named Dani.

Bill's daughter just survived
a life-threatening experience,

and of course he wants
to be there for her,

so if I complain
about him doing that

or insist on going with him,

I look completely territorial
and insecure,

but if I do nothing,

I'm giving Dani free reign.

And you think Dani's
using this crisis

-to get close to Bill?
-Oh, yeah.

She's been draped
all over him, and

Bill just doesn't seem
to realize what she's up to.

Either that,
or he knows full well and...

doesn't mind.

I mean, could be.

Bill's a good man,
but he's still a man.

And it probably flatters his ego

that Dani's
never gotten over him.

Though...

if the situation were reversed,

he'd be losing his mind.

Say more.

I'm glad for your sake you and
Vanessa are working things out.

And I'm glad
for both of our sakes

that you dropped your idea
of siccing the cops on Joey.

They say living well
is the best revenge.

Emphasis on "living."

But if you want my advice,

take Vanessa
on that second honeymoon

sooner rather than later.

You're probably right.

Joey never
gave a damn about her.

But that man hates to lose.

And Vanessa rejecting him,
going back to you...

...that won't go down easy.

Do I look like I give a damn

what Armstrong
is willing to take?

Dr. Douglas.

All big, bad,
and bold right now.

I'm just saying, be careful
when that man's concerned.

Especially if Vanessa
really did break things off.

I know better than to take
Vanessa's story at face value.

I have confirmation
that Vanessa's kept her word

and she hasn't seen Joey
or been around him

since she told me
she broke it off.

-[phone chimes]
-How you know?

You keeping tabs on him?

Randy, I need to cut out.
Something I need to check out.

Hey, stranger.

-I thought you were on duty.
-I am. This is patient care.

I snagged a couple of these
from the break room.

Oh, I like that kind of care.

This is your reward
for showing up.

Uh, not that I'm complaining,
but did I really have a choice?

If you haven't noticed,
I'm kind of stuck here.

Showing up like
we talked about yesterday.

Putting in the effort,

even when there's
no real award at the end.

Now, you say that
like I didn't know

there was gonna be ice cream.

Am I that predictable?

Thank you for showing up
for me, too.

Of course.

The location is perfect,
and the sellers are hungry.

I'm telling you,
this opportunity is tailor-made

for our little enterprise.

Is that it?

Sorry, am I boring you?

Well, I'm not bored.

It's just that there are
other things taking up my time.

So, if you don't mind...

I'm surprised you don't see
the potential here.

I do. So, write up an offer,

cut the deal,
you know what to do.

I mean, you could've
told me this in an e-mail.

My mistake for taking up
your valuable time.

Vanessa,
what do you want from me?

You're the one that broke
things off, and now you're here.

For no apparent reason.

I didn't want things
to be awkward between us.

Especially after your comment
about me knowing too much

about your operation and
that you don't like loose ends.

You don't believe for a second
that I would hurt you.

I don't.

But Doug's another story.

Your attitude toward him,
it was starting to scare me.

I love my husband.

Now, I-I don't expect you
to understand, but it's true.

Doug is the father
of my children,

and I have
a very real love for him.

And if I were responsible for
something happening to him...

...well, I could never
live with that.

I do understand,
and I admire your loyalty,

even though
Doug isn't worthy of it.

So, tell me,

if I were to give you
my personal assurances

that Dougie was safe from harm,
what then?

You three look excited
about something.

We are, Uncle Bill.

Aunt Dani suggested...

Um, but I think Chels should
probably be the one to tell you.

Mom suggested
that we incorporate

an anti-violence message
into the branding of ChelseaKat.

Hmm. Because of what
you've been through?

Exactly.

Not only is it a great cause,

it'll really set us apart,

which is what
every new company needs.

And get this,

Chelsea is going to...

Well, if she decides to,

she's going to design a bag,

and the proceeds will go to
an anti-violence organization.

Hmm. Well, sounds like
an excellent idea to me.

-I do have them
from time to time.
-Thanks, babe.

Um, I should get going.

We set up that meeting

with the product placement
company ages ago.

Well, I can get dressed
and come with you.

You will stay right here.

I told you, I'm gonna handle
everything ChelseaKat

for the foreseeable future.

Thanks again, coz.

I got you. Always.

So...

"Babe"?

It's just force of habit.

A habit that you broke ages ago.

I-I mean, well...

Dani? Are you gonna take this?

Absolutely not.

CHELSEA:
Okay. All right.

You guys are starting
to sound like my parents again,

which is really freaking me out.
So what's going on?

We were so worried about you
when you went missing.

That just took priority
over everything else.

Your father was my rock.

And I was so grateful
that I was able

to overlook
his many faults and failings.

Temporarily, at least.

Yeah, well, I hope
that we can find a way

to keep our truce going
now that the crisis is over.

-That depends on you, too, Bill.
-I understand.

As long as you
remain reasonable.

You are running toward the edge

-of a cliff, Bill Hamilton.
-BILL: Okay.

Okay. Look, hey, you see that?
This is me stepping back.

But, Chelsea, baby,
I meant what I said to you.

You know,
before all this happened,

you know, about reconnecting.

I hope you're still open to
that possibility, because I-I...

...I really miss my baby girl.

I get that you and Mom
are different now, but, um...

I'm sorry. I'm just...
I'm not there yet.

I just can't promise
that I can erase...

Yeah, yeah. I-I-I-- Yeah.

Baby, I know you have a lot to
deal with right now. It's fine.

And I'm not gonna ask you
for anything

that you're not ready to give.

You know, certainly
not forgiveness.

I, uh...

I just hope I still have
a place in your life.

Always, Daddy.

Are we sure?

Because it feels like
it could backfire.

I swear I will never let Bill
know you had a hand in this.

Bill knows I'd walk
through fire for him.

Remember, I've already
outlasted one wife.

It's you I'm worried about.

If he reacts badly,
you could end up

making things worse
for yourself.

Oh, I won't let it
go too far, trust me.

I'm just going to give Bill
a tiny taste

of his own medicine,
because you were right.

If he thought I was attracted
to someone else,

he'd wake up in a hurry,
and that's all I want,

for his focus to come back
where it should be,

on me.

Hey, I'm at Bill's.

Can you stop by?

Hayley and I want
to let you in on a little...

conspiracy.

It wouldn't be enough
for you to promise

that you wouldn't hurt Doug.

The problem is
that Doug's capable

of doing
so much harm to himself.

So, you're-you're
protecting Doug from Doug.

Well, that's sweet.

A little pathetic
at the same time.

I should've never let him
see us together.

I don't understand why
he was in such a jealous rage

after years of essentially
having an open relationship.

Okay, yes.

You were different
from my other dalliances,

but there was still no need
for Doug to feel threatened.

It's not as if
I was going to leave him.

I knew you weren't looking
for anything permanent,

and neither was I.

I have no problem lying to Doug

if it means bringing you
back to me where you belong.

But there will be
no lying to me.

I am nobody's dalliance.

You're as hooked as I am.

You didn't come here
to pitch a business deal.

You came here because
you can't get enough.

What if I can't?

How will you ever satisfy me?

I have a good idea
on where to start.

Okay, I really want to tell you
something, um, but...

I hope you won't take it
the wrong way.

I thought we were past that,
tiptoeing around each other.

No, we are.
We are, and I'm glad.

Um...

But this might be
a little sensitive.

-Okay.
-Okay, I was doing some research
last night, and...

...there is a wheelchair
basketball team in D.C.

And I'm not saying that
I don't believe that you're

gonna recover,
because I totally do.

At least, I hope so.

I just want you to know that,
even if that never happens...

...you can still be
an athlete, just...

you know, in a different way.

You can still add to your trophy
collection, is all I'm saying.

The trophy collection
that you love so much.

I liked it better
than the moose head.

-He misses you, by the way.
-Mm?

The feeling is not mutual.

I appreciate you
looking that up for me.

But...

I'm not gonna join.

Because I am gonna recover.

In fact,
I think I should tell you...

What?

More like warn you.

First thing I'm doing
when I get back on my feet

is taking you dancing.

So, you better get out there

and buy yourself a new dress
soon, okay?

Well, I promise
to make that a top priority.

She insisted on some
insane wedding ceremony

with cake and veils and vows
and rings, the whole nine yards.

-My God.
-I resisted at first,

but then she threatened
to hurt Madison, and

I thought she was crazy enough
to actually do it.

-Insane.
-BILL: Yeah.

Making you go through all of
that, she's definitely insane.

I hope Allison's threats
against Madison

get her another ten years
on her sentence.

-She needs to die in prison.
-BILL: Mm-hmm.

But while you were out
trying to protect Madison,

she was right here
helping us look for you.

Yeah, she pointed us in
Allison's direction right away.

I know. I owe Madison my life.

But, Chelsea,
why didn't you tell me before

how much she meant to you?

How important she was to you?
Did I do or...

say anything to make you think
I wouldn't approve

of your relationship?

I didn't know
how you would feel,

and it felt like
we already had enough

to figure out without
an added complication.

-Yeah.
-But I was going to tell you.

Madison mentioned that.

Well...

I hope it goes without saying,
but for the record,

I don't have a problem with
anyone who loves my baby girl

as much as Madison
obviously does.

I agree. She's part
of the family now.

-Mm-hmm. Yup.
-Baptism by fire.

I hope you warned her
about how dysfunctional we are.

I promise you, Madison is aware.

But lucky for me,
she's not scared.

So, what's this conspiracy
you two girls are cooking up?

We want to throw

a little surprise birthday party
for Bill,

like the one we threw
for Hayley.

Yeah, and I can't make
the arrangements myself since

I obviously can't take calls
while I'm with him,

and we think that Bill
might catch on if he sees me

whispering
with Caroline too much.

But if Bill saw Hayley
talking with you,

we could always claim she was

-working with you on your cases.
-Mm-hmm.

-I'm in. Sounds like fun.
-Great!

But please, don't let
anyone else in on it just yet.

Your secret's safe with me.

You are a godsend to us.

You just don't know
how much you are helping me.

[grunts]

[exhales]

Getting cold feet already?

Would Bill really believe
I'm interested in his associate?

I think you make a cute couple.

But it's really up to you.

I mean, do you think
you'll be able to sell it?

I don't know.
I've never lied to Bill before.

Don't think of it as lying.
You're just...

conducting an experiment
with Bill as the test subject.

If you're really
that uneasy about it,

you could drop the whole thing.

-No harm, no foul.
-No, no, no.
I'm going through with it.

I am tired of giving Dani
the upper hand.

I'm sorry. I'm just...

-so tired. Still.
-You have every right to be.

You fought so hard, baby.

And now, you get to rest.

And your parents are right here
watching over you,

-making sure you're safe.
-Yeah.

We got you, Chelsea Bear.

She came home.

-Like you promised.
-Mm-hmm.

Thank God.
