[bunniefuu]

Are we toasting to you and Daddy
k*lling Leslie's membership?

And to Gabe Froman and the rest
of the country club board

-for seeing reason.
-Hmm.

Oh, I wish I could see
Leslie's face when she finds out

that that country club
membership she flaunted

has disappeared
just as fast as she bought it.

Yeah, your daddy may be retired,

but he is always happy to whip
out his negotiating skills

-to help our family.
-Mm. And I am thankful

for you and Daddy,
because I couldn't bear

staring at Leslie's face
over the foam of my latte

-every morning.
-Mm.

I hope we can do the same
with the homeowners association.

She's still our new neighbor.

The only thing worse
than her moving in right away

is the nightmare of you having
to live with a complete rebuild

across the street.

Well, Vernon's in the study
right now

trying to work another miracle.

He's on a Zoom with Bill.

What can he do?

If the permits
are delayed long enough,

maybe Leslie will get bored

with acting as if life
is an endless episode

of Keeping Up with the Duprees.

To knocking down that scheme

and praying that Leslie hasn't
already thought of another idea

to screw with us.

Wakey, wakey, Teddy Bear.

Mmm.

Uh,

uh...

♪ ♪

Two specials, loves.

-Thanks, June.
-June, we didn't order these.

I know, but the last order
got lost in the shuffle,

and you've been waiting
too long.

These are on the house.

Well, I'm sure there's somebody
else that's waiting on these.

I already put
their orders in again.

NAOMI: [chuckles]
Wait,

we could figure out
who ordered these

and deliver it to them.

Well, unless they like
cold burgers,

I don't think they'll want it.

Don't tell me.

Pisces, right?

[chuckles] How'd you know?

You're just giving Pisces.

You're also giving chocolate
milkshake and a supreme burger.

Am I right?

She's gonna get the hang of it.

I hope so.

We haven't tabled
the conversation

about what almost happened
with Nathan.

Sex is a big deal,

and you're not ready for that.

Like I said, I realized that.

I do think it's important
that you know

you have more than two adults
in your life

to talk about Nathan,

about almosts.

Especially before those almosts
turn into reality.

Like Grandma,

like Kat, and your mother,

if you choose to.

Thanks.

I think that it would be
really good for me

to talk to her
about girl things.

I have so many questions
about June.

I...

I really want to know her.

This is why you've been acting
so weird lately?

You're letting her back in?

We gave her
a face-to-face, Samantha.

That's it. That's done.

We need to stay as far away
from our mom as possible.

Tyrell, you don't get to decide
what I do with June.

Hey, let's take
the temperature down.

Hear your sister out.

-This isn't like you.
-'Cause this feels like

the Upside Down.

I remember sitting
in that ice-cold apartment

when June forgot to pay
the electric bill.

And how it felt like starving
when she ghosted us for days.

And definitely how it felt when
we knew she was gone for good.

I'm not asking her
to be my mother again.

I'm asking her to be in my life.

How?

By... smoke signals?

You don't even know
where she's living.

And for all we know,
she could be back on drugs.

Why would you say that?
You don't know--

At least take the time
to find out.

And not talking to me
about this?

That's messed-up.

Tyrell, me seeing June
isn't about you.

Now I'm supposed to hide
every time she comes here?

That's not what I meant.
It's just...

You don't run things.

I don't want her here.

Dad and Pop don't want her here.

Majority rules means
that she does not come back

-to this house.
-SMITTY: Okay.

We don't talk
to each other that way.

Right.

I am not here for it.

This isn't something
we can fix for them.

It's their mother.

This isn't the burger.

I realized you were
actually giving omelet.

Well...

she does have swagger.

I can't tell
if the customer agrees.

[phone buzzing]

It's the station.

I'll be here,

pretending like this food
doesn't taste

like it's fresh out the fridge.

[chuckles]
Right.

Oh! Eric.

Thank you again
for giving June a chance.

We've always appreciated
the Duprees' business.

And June being
a personal project of yours

is one of the reasons
we brought her on.

But can we talk about
how the project's progressing?

We are creatures of habit.

How so?

We fall back
into the same patterns.

Even when they blow up
in our faces.

Daddy's on the phone with Bill.

After everything that happened
with Martin's situation,

how is he still our fixer?

Well, I suppose
your daddy and I were hoping

we wouldn't be in any further
need of Bill's assistance.

But the hits
just keep on coming.

Meanwhile, Bill is
somehow still running the show.

Sweetheart,
where's this train going?

I can't stop thinking
about what we did to Ted.

We followed Bill's twisted lead,

placing bets on my divorce
like it was some kind of a game.

Your soon-to-be ex-husband
had that reckoning coming.

Especially
after that grand gesture

to lure Leslie away
from buying the Jarvis home

turned into
a pathetic last gasp.

I still can't help wondering
if we just...

went a little too far.

-[Leslie chuckles]
-TED: Dana.

-Uh...
-Try "Dana, you were amazing."

"Dana, ooh, your body's
as banging as I remember."

-"Dana..."
-Dana, stop.

"...I have been wanting
this night for years."

-[chuckles]
-Dana, stop. Please, this...

Go ahead. Tell me, Romeo.
I'm listening.

Okay, look, look, look,
look, look. If you're--

if you're looking
for some type of declaration,

-just know that--
-You know what? We,

we deserve something
way more fitting of this moment.

Dana, please just...

Yeah, you know
what we deserve, honey?

We deserve, I'm thinking,

something that is so good--

we deserve a round two.

TED:
Mm.

LESLIE:
Mmm.

[knocking]

Uh...

Ted, are you in there?

I need to talk.

For which transgression
were you too hard on Ted?

The lying?

The cheating?

The secret love child?

Or the ex-mistress with
a penchant for attempted m*rder?

If I had to choose one...

...it would be
when Leslie returned to town

and Ted's solution
was to keep lying to me.

He even tried to pay her off.

That money gave her more power.

Unfortunately, yes.

How could Ted do this to me?

He left me vulnerable to a woman
that he knew was vindictive.

And then the ultimate horror--

all of the rumors
and-and whispers

that I've had to endure
since that night.

He turned me into Poor Nicole
in the eyes of Fairmont Crest.

I have never been that.

No, you have not.

But, sweetheart, this is
all water under the bridge.

So why are you revisiting it?

Because...

...Ted was gutted when he was
served those divorce papers.

And, honestly...

...if Leslie
wasn't still lurking,

I...

probably would have given us
another chance.

But letting him into my life

means opening the door
to her, too.

Well, self-preservation
has never been a fault.

And what goes on
in that man's mind and heart

is no longer any
of your concern.

Isn't it?

We promised each other forever.

And the one thing
I know for sure--

Ted still loves me.

When he says he hasn't seen
or slept with Leslie

since she left town all of
those years ago, I believe him.

So what are you saying?

When I hold the weight
of a few painful weeks

against the weight
of a lifetime together...

...maybe I owe us one final,
honest chance before letting go.

[knocking]

Okay.

At least give
a girl some warning

if you want to play rough.
sh**t.

Or at least one of those safe
words, like "peaches."

Okay, look, look, look, we-we
don't want Eva to know

what just happened.

Wait, we don't want Eva to know

her mother and father,
who made her, made love?

I mean, that-that isn't
something to keep a secret.

It should be on a billboard.

Okay, can-can we--
can we please just--

can we just be real
for a minute?

What's more real
than Eva knowing

that her mother and her father

got back together?

Hmm? I mean, that's what
every kid wants, right?

Okay, look, Dana,

we are not getting
back together, okay?

That will never happen.

I mean, I'm sorry. Gee.

Ooh. Well, somebody's still
naked, from what I can see.

And, uh, I also heard you
calling my name.

Say my name. Say my name.

Oh, over and over.

And, ooh, honey...
[chuckles]

you kept saying,
"I like it. Ooh. I like it."

So...

please explain that to me.

Okay, look, look, look.

That-that was a moment
in time, okay?

-Mm-hmm.
-Not to be repeated.

Okay? I was drunk, and...

...you were there, okay?

Uh, we-we got a past.
You're still a beautiful woman.

We have chemistry.

We have history, okay?

But you're not my woman
and I'm not your man.

That shouldn't have happened.

And I should have been stronger.

Oh, I...

don't know
if-if you're still in denial

and trying to claim the high
and mighty Princess Nicole,

but I would bet my fortune
that...

[scoffs]

...that you ain't never had
nothing like what we just had

with her.

Okay, look, I-I-I don't--
I don't want to confuse things.

I don't want to confuse you.

Nothing changes between us.

Nicole is still the love
of my life,

-and-and you-you...
-[scoffs]

...you-you're just, um...

-you're--
-Oh, what, I'm just some little
messy side piece for you?

Is that what I am?

I'm a messy, hot one.

And-and Miss Nicole,
who you claim is so perfect,

she's cold.

I love her, okay?

This-- this was a mistake.

This, Ted?

Oh, you-you've reached
a new level.

Okay, look,
I-I own my part, okay?

Now, can we please just...

can we please just keep this
between us?

[scoffs]
And even now

you still don't give a damn
about my feelings.

'Cause all you can think
about is her.

All you can think about is,
what is she thinking?

What is she gonna say
when she finds out what I did?

You know what?

You don't have
to keep groveling,

'cause I am...

definitely not gonna share...

[chuckles]
this moment...

...and how low I finally sunk.

Look, Dana,

look, I know
you don't believe me, but...

I really am sorry.

Um...
[grunts]

[sighs]

[grunts]

Ted, we really need to talk.

I looked for you everywhere,
and you decided to hide out

in my room?

I guess I'm used to coming here
when things are messed-up.

My mistake.

Hey, we don't run
from each other.

We don't judge each other
either.

I'm not judging you. I'm
just trying to take care of you

the same way you do with me.

Letting in June

-is a mistake.
-For you.

For us.

-We agreed since
we were kids that we would not--
-Tyrell,

we're not little kids anymore.

Yeah, but I'm your brother.

Yeah. My brother who's, like,
a minute away

-from college.
-That doesn't mean

-I'm not gonna be--
-It means

that we're growing up.
