You have to leave now.

-They can't do that. -Hell no.

So are you going to tell wifey who I am,

or should I?

This is your daughter, Eva.

MARTIN: You used me--

a little child-- as a cover-up story

so you could sleep around on Mom!

You're despicable!

You made the wrong choice.

No need to get up on my behalf.

Pretty sure I'm the last person you bargained on seeing.

Are you serious?

Showing up at our home?

Somebody get her the hell out of here.

Is this the room where it all happens?

Where the power players spin the story

so that you look like the long-suffering victims?

Tell the neighbors how this femme fatale wrecked

Ted's happy home?

But all will be well

after a brief residency

at a rehab

and a brief apology tour.

Call the police.

LESLIE: Oh, I'm not falling for that trap,

little brownie man.

That's what I used to call Martin

when he and Daddy would drop in for desserts

at the café where I worked.

Look at you now,

little Mr. President. [chuckles]

She'll get tired of listening to herself eventually.

[laughs] No, she won't.

And she's got a lot to share.

See, daddy moneybags here-- he won't call the cops

'cause what would the neighbors say?

We're not concerned about the neighbors.

But you should be worried about what I have to say to you.

Nicole. Baby, please.

I don't know who you are.

♪ ♪

I was right about you all along?

[scoffs] A lot of good that did my family,

since nobody believed me.

-They're nice. -That's their downfall.

You never liked me.

And still don't.

What made you so suspicious?

[scoffs] You tried too hard,

did too much.

You disgust me, by the way.

I know.

I wish I'd done more to stop them from tonight.

I wish you had, too.

You're not the man that I married,

and I want him back.

Bring me the man that I met in Hawaii.

The one that swore to protect my heart,

swept me off my feet and promised to love

only me forever.

I want his arms around me.

I need him right now, because I do not know the man

that stands before me.

It's me, Nicole.

I'm the guy that you made life with decades ago.

Every day of it was a lie.

You know that's not true.

What's real?

I don't know how we got here.

Standing in my home with a shell of a man

who I thought that I knew.

Because you are somebody I don't even recognize.

A stranger who has been lying to me

with every breath

for over 20 years, Theodore.

I know it's not making any sense.

You could still be lying.

You know everything.

Another daughter? My God.

I wasn't aware.

She weaponized that child that you created

and came back to shatter our lives.

You thought your indiscretion left town

and took all of your problems with her?

All you did was start a ticking time bomb,

and now here we stand

in the middle of the rubble.

You thought you were sparing me heartache with your lies?

All you did was delay it.

Perhaps I should go.

No, we'll see to it you leave in one piece.

We're well known for our hospitality,

and it would be rude for you to go

before explaining

why you think you have the right to darken our doorway.

You can start by telling us what you think you'll get from this.

Money?

Ten seconds of fame for being

a spiraling psycho at a country club soiree?

[scoffs] You messed with the wrong damn family,

and you better be smart and walk out the way you came.

-I remember you. -I'm hard to forget.

The lunches with my dad. Just the two of us.

And the nice waitress who would always take a break

and sit with us, right next to him.

That's where I belonged.

You are a vile human being with a gaping hole in your heart!

Is that any way to talk

-to your Auntie Leslie? -You will never be anything

-but a viper. -Martin.

Oh, little brownie man.

Choose silence.

Cool water.

Granddad, I'm okay,

Gran, if you'll excuse me, I'm needed at home.

Of course, baby.

Do you need Titus, or are you okay to drive?

MARTIN: I'm fine.

Call when you get home.

We love you, Martin.

I love you, too.

-ANITA: All eyes on you. -[door closes]

That's what you want, right?

It's nothing new.

I'm used to being the center of attention.

Especially for Ted.

[laughs]: That man.

Ooh, that man.

Mm. Where was I?

Without a leg to stand on in a place you should not be.

What possessed you to drag yourself into this community,

spewing this poison?

What corner of hell vomited you

-to the surface? -ANITA: Ladies.

Manners.

I believe this is the step

where you try justifying your presence here

with something akin to righteous indignation.

-Maybe she wants forgiveness. -[Leslie laughs]

That's too much to ask.

But what I was hoping for is understanding.

I don't know how I would have reacted

if you had told me the truth back then.

It would have hurt every bit as much,

but at least I would have known the truth all of these years.

I wouldn't have been sashaying around here,

wishing all of my friends were as blissful as me,

had a man as loving and dedicated as mine.

I wouldn't have been so smug and condescending to my sister

when she was spinning out over Bill and Hayley.

Nicole, I'm not gonna sit here and try to excuse my actions.

Smartest choice you've made.

Nicole, we were struggling.

That excuses you?

"In sickness and in health."

My body was betraying me.

Oh, my God, and so were you.

Nicole, please.

I was desperate to have another baby with you

because we were so good together.

You said we were in it together.

Come to find out...

you were in another woman's bed.

-I wish I could take it all back. -Oh, I have a lot of wishes

in that area, too, I wish to G... [sighs]

All we can deal with right now

are the facts that we know.

You knew that woman was in town,

knew she was a threat to us, knew what she could do

and you never said a word.

I will regret that till the day that I die.

You had us living a lie for years.

None of it was real.

Except that another woman loved you

and you got her pregnant

when your wife was doing everything that I could

to give you more babies, babies that I lost.

They were your babies, too, damn it!

I...

I will never forget that.

Did you grieve them when you were in her bed?

At that diner where you took our son?

-Nicole.... -Couldn't get enough,

so you had to keep going back for more?

You chose her.

Over and over.

-Nicole, I swear to you... -You could have spared me

the humiliation of standing in front of our friends

and our family on our anniversary,

having some stranger telling me that half of my life was a lie.

You took the most disgusting thing

that you could do to me

and found a way to make it worse.

You suggested this anniversary party

for a couple you barely knew,

got them in the perfect place

for that demon mother of yours to hurl her nonsense.

-Some of it was true. -[scoffs]

Are you serious right now?

Ninety-eight percent of what comes out of that woman's mouth

is pure cray-cray.

And there's a 99% degree of certainty

that Ted Richardson is my father.

[scoffs]

Proof.

You got a DNA test?

Got the sample from Ted while I was at your parents' house.

Well, you must have loved walking around

pretending like you actually belonged,

plotting our destruction.

I tried to stop my mother. You were there.

Two more minutes and I would have gotten

your parents out of there and away from her.

Are you asking me to forgive you?

-No. -Good.

Because what you did was unforgivable.

But it tracks.

My father did something reprehensible

with a-a ridiculous woman and gave birth to this

curbside delivery daughter with half a brain

that unleashed hell on what was supposed to be

a beautiful memory for my family.

Now it's unforgettable for all the wrong reasons.

And you actually want a gold star

for trying to derail your master plan at the last minute?

I tried to stop my mother because I love your parents.

You can't possibly know what it means

to love or to have a family,

because I would move heaven and earth for them right now

to make all of this go away.

I could have never done anything to harm the people that I love.

We look out for each other.

But your choices prove exactly what kind of person you are,

and what you are is a toxic parasite

worthy of nothing but our disgust and apathy.

You and your mother.

Kat.

There's more.

I apologized for my show of anger before,

but if any family can understand what I've faced...

You've made it your life's work

to fight for the underdog.

And you-- you carried the mantle

and kept it moving forward.

We didn't even get an honorable mention.

But I deserve to be on the wall

with King, Fauntroy and Angelou

because I, too, have suffered.

-Oh, please. -What Ted Richardson

did to me, I wouldn't wish on a dog.

Do you have proof of any of these claims?

Read it and weep.

DNA proof that my beautiful Eva

is a member of Ted Richardson's family,

which makes her a part of your heritage.

Page two, Eva's birth certificate.

Carefully pay attention to the birth date.

Kat and her half sister are almost twins.

Those two Richardson girls were born

within two weeks of each other.

It's like a-a baby-palooza or something.

Except one daughter

had the world right there at her feet,

while the other daughter was kicked in the teeth by life.

What do you want?

For her to have a connection with her other half.

For her daddy to treat her like a princess.

Unless you think that's too much to ask.

Do you think it's too much to ask?

TED: Yeah.

I confronted her.

She never told me about a baby.

I never knew anything about Eva.

She wanted money. I paid her.

I thought she would leave.

She played you just like she played me.

[laughs] Not exactly.

And please do not make this about her.

You're the problem.

You fell in love with another woman.

I never loved her.

-I... -Uh, don't you dare say

it meant nothing when it is destroying our lives.

You had another relationship.

You took our son-- my little boy--

to see the woman that you were screwing.

I was wrong.

Wrong doesn't even begin to scratch the surface

of all of the feckless, heartless things

that you could do to so many people.

Do you have any idea the damage you have done?

And then the cherry on top--

when things went left and you lost control,

and you had the audacity to call Bill Hamilton

to come wave his magic wand and fix it?

I was desperate, Nicole.

So you trusted that bottom-feeder

more than you trusted your wife?

Gave him the decency

of the truth that you refused to give to me?

I knew if I had told you, I'd lose everything.

Don't you get it, Ted?

You had everything.

But it just wasn't perfect enough, right?

So you had to go grab at a piece of something else.

Who knows, maybe it would have worked with her?

What was your endgame?

The two of you would have run off together

if I lost another child?

You are my endgame.

You're the only woman I ever wanted to have a baby with.

She never told me about the abortion.

And she lied about everything else after.

So how do we know that she's not lying now?

I asked myself the same question about you.

When Leslie said that little girl was yours,

you called her a liar,

when you knew damn well it could be true.

This is the man that I married?

Doing everything that he can to save himself

except tell the truth?

LESLIE: Little brownie man.

♪ ♪

I'm hard to forget.

Little Mr. President. [chuckles]

"For my son, Martin.

"Proud to be your father.

Dad."

Martin.

Martin, Look at me.

Okay? Talk to me.

Is this about what happened tonight?

-That bitch. -The woman from the party?

She went to my grandparents' home.

She screwed my dad and devastated my mother.

I was just a little boy.

A little kid.

This hurts so much.

You grew up with two parents who loved you no matter what.

Who put you first, who gave you the world.

If you're trying to blame me for the way I was raised...

I grew up thinking

my father hated me enough to turn his back and walk away.

I just found out a few minutes ago

-that he never even knew I existed. -Hmm.

Well, neither of us had the dad we thought we did. Yay.

My mother put it in my head

over and over.

Stories about the monster who stole her dreams

and left us penniless and alone.

How mean he was, how much he despised us.

So when we came here, yeah, I didn't care, you know?

Why should I?

This man never gave a damn about me.

But he didn't know you.

When I met Ted, I kept thinking to myself,

it had to be an act.

How can this man be so sweet?

[laughs softly, scoffs]

But Ted Richardson wasn't a deadbeat.

He was funny and lovable

and a great father and husband.

"Was" is the correct tense.

Your appearance ruined that Man of the Year act.

We had two different fathers.

Completely opposite, but the same man.

And now they're switched.

You've decided he's a good guy,

and I just watched him destroy my mother's heart

in front of everyone I know.

A reverse fairy tale,

where Prince Charming is now an evil ogre.

And my life was a nightmare

where the beast was a prince in disguise.

Look, I know you're mad at Ted right now,

but the love you grew up in?

That was real.

God, you're so lucky, Kat.

Don't let what happened tonight

ruin what you and Ted have.

Because it is precious beyond words.

All I care about is our family.

Were you thinking about us

when you made a child with that woman?

Did you even use protection?

[laughs] Oh, me at my annual exams,

assuring my doctor there's no way I could have anything.

"No need for testing."

Mr. and Mrs. Monogamy.

Were there others? Don't.

Don't answer that, because how could I even believe you?

Because I'm trying to save our family.

Save us.

We are all that matters.

The last thing I expect is to win anyone's sympathy.

Well, that isn't even remotely possible.

Please don't see me as some poor, misguided woman

who's crying out to be heard.

I'm a mother, too, just like you.

And you.

Oh, I beg to differ.

You are nothing like my mother and me.

You don't think I love my daughter

just as much as you love yours?

Eva matters to me.

She is my prize. She is my gold.

And my baby is out there somewhere right now,

needing her mama.

And as soon as I find her,

I'm gonna wrap my loving arms all around her.

Like a boa constrictor.

Incredible.

What's the matter, little Dani Oakley?

It's hard to believe?

I saw your Facebook page.

I'm sorry.

Emotions run high.

All I'm saying is that

I don't want you to hold what I did against my daughter.

Eva is blameless.

Don't freeze her out just because of the way

that she came into your lives.

She is half Ted's.

Like that'll win her any awards.

Go ahead, make jokes.

But whether you like it or not, she is a part of this family.

And there are things like this that I could never give her.

Big birthday parties,

family dinners with all of her aunties

and her cousins and uncles showing up just for her.

[scoffs] Tradition, love,

acceptance from all of you.

You pride yourself on being good people, right?

Then here is your chance

to show that that is the truth.

On that note,

I bid you a farewell.

Our unexpected,

uninvited guest

thinks she can have the last word

and just sail out the door?

No, sweetheart.

I have home court advantage.

And since you're bold enough to sneak into our community,

bold enough to ring our doorbell,

I think you're bold enough to answer a question or two.

ANITA: Moving speech.

Really. Almost Shakespearean, wasn't it?

-I was impressed. -And she had, what,

decades to hone and refine it till it sparkled

like a brand-new penny.

Bravo.

I was speaking from the heart.

Oh, she thinks she has a heart.

And didn't you like the part where she...

swore that all she cares about is Eva?

Mm.

"Forgive what I've done and spare my child."

You put that girl through hell

just to serve your own twisted agenda.

Now, eh, eh.

I've had enough of what you had to say.

Be still.

You call yourself a parent,

but you're unlike any mother I've ever known.

A real mother loves her child.

A real mother protects her child

and raises her up to be a good person

with morals and standards

and boundaries she doesn't cross

when it comes to the people who have been nothing

but kind to her, accepted her.

A real mother doesn't ruin a blessing.

But you...

you filled Eva with your insecurities

and paranoia, your hate and venom,

and then wielded that child like a weapon.

Shame on you!

And what on God's green earth

did you hope to achieve here?

Ted Richardson? Well, good luck with that.

Or maybe it's about securing

a respectable place for yourself.

After what you did, you'd be lucky if anyone

gives you the time of day.

After what I did?

ANITA: Oh, don't get this confused.

What happened between you and Ted--

that happened in private.

What went down tonight

was done to us, our family.

And we don't forget.

This community doesn't forget.

So, where do you think a woman like you

could possibly go from here?

I'll give you a hint.

It's not where you planned.

Where did this come from?

My father.

He has a lot to explain, yeah.

And you have a right to be angry. But Martin... this?

How could he do this to us?

I don't know.

But whatever you need, you are not alone.

This is not gonna be easy, but I love you.

We go through this world together.

And that is how we're gonna get through this.

Yes. Together.

I know you didn't just accuse me

of not caring about this family.

I'm sorry. I didn't mean it that way.

After all of the sacrifices,

all of the blood?

Who are you?

Because the Ted Richardson that I loved

would never fix his lips

to utter those hateful words.

I am just a few hours removed from finding out

how little you cared about us.

I thought you would leave me.

Oh, you're the one leaving.

For how long?

Day by day.

I know everything seems false,

but what's real is the love that I have for you,

for us, for our family.

Does that include both of your daughters?

So you're conflicted.

You met my father and realized he's the dad

any abandoned child would dream of having.

I wasn't abandoned.

I am trying really hard right now,

but this is as polite as I get,

because I had a glimpse of the real Eva Thomas.

Whoever you think you know--

Oh, I am happy to tell you.

When I planted that camera

and saw you creeping through my mom's private files,

you didn't just erase the proof before she saw it.

No, the look that you gave

when you realized my parents were on your side

was nothing less than evil.

Almost daring me to try again.

You are so your mother's child.

Don't you dare say that.

See, that?

That moment-- that is exactly who you are.

A sinister creation of a woman blinded by rage,

programmed to lash out, to hurt people

before they hurt you.

No. I love Ted and Nicole.

You don't deserve to speak their names.

You let your mother attack them

in the most disgusting ways.

You crept around their house,

pretending to be this miracle that fell into their lap.

You could have stopped this, Eva.

Told us who you really were.

You had plenty of time to save them from this humiliation.

The opportunity and the means

to keep this from happening, you--

You know what? We're done here.

You're dead to me.

[sobbing]

Oh, God...

[crying]: Oh, my God.

Oh, my God.

Me staying here, being next to you,

being where you are,

is our only hope for survival.

If I smell your cologne

or hear you walk through that door,

-so help me... -Please, Nicole--

it will be the last thing you do.

If there's a way back to your love,

I swear I'll find it.

Nobody can convince me that you're not the love of my life.

I will never leave you.

Okay?

I'm gonna go to the hotel.

And I'll be hoping that you're gonna call.

[sighs]

[sighs]

What can I do?

You're doing it.

But this room is gonna need a lot of help before...

Oh, my God. The kids.

They're at a play downtown. We got this.

But when we adopted those little destroyers of our peace,

we made promises to them.

The same promises we made to each other.

-Forever. -And secure.

So we need to clean this up before they get home.

-Smitty, I... -I'm mad, too, okay?

This is my family, my world.

But in my world...

...we do everything together.

Okay?

Ralph Ellison, The Invisible Man.

I see you.

And I love you.

And you and I--

we are stronger than anything

that has ever tried to tear us down.

She's gone. Has anyone heard from Nicole?

Maybe she and Ted are trying to talk things through.

-And if I were him-- -This never would've happened.

And if I was Nicole...

Tonight was supposed to be filled with happy memories.

A celebration of love.

She's always coming to everyone's rescue.

We should go to her, see if she's okay.

I still haven't heard from Kat.

Oh, my sweet baby.

And Martin.

Vernon?

We've raised strong children during difficult times.

Walked through fire. Been tested and tried.

And we're still here. Yes?

Yes, we are.

VERNON: So we walk on,

with an audacious faith in the future.

It won't be easy,

but good and important things rarely are.

-But we have each other. -Amen.

It's a long, dark night, Duprees.

And we don't know how long the darkness will last.

But the sun will rise.

Nicole and Kat and Martin

will survive this.

Because that's who we are.

Family.

Forever.
