You really are a piece of work.

Who's gone above and beyond in service of the Duprees.

So what else have you fixed for my family, Bill?

MARTIN: That bitch.

The woman from the party.

She went to my grandparents' home.

She screwed my dad and devastated my mother.

All you did was start a ticking time bomb.

And now here we stand,

in the middle of the rubble.

Forgive what I've done and spare my child.

Shame on you!

Teddy boy.

Or is it "Teddy Bear"?

How's my favorite scumbag brother-in-law doing?

My sister's too nice to tell you

what a piece of trash you really are,

so I'm here to do it for her.

Prepare for the worst.

'Cause you sure as hell have it coming.

Dani, I don't need you to tell me how royally I screwed up.

Because everyone has been ripping me apart

from all directions.

And I haven't even started.

You're a disgrace.

Running around behind Nicole's back,

keeping your tawdry affair a secret,

then letting your side piece

and your illegitimate spawn blow up my sister's world

on what was supposed to be one of her happiest moments.

Absolutely beyond despicable.

After everything that went down with Bill,

I know this hits close to home,

but I'm nothing like that man.

No.

You're worse.

Bill never pretended to be a good guy.

[scoffs]

And Nicole thought she had one of the good ones.

Look how you turned out.

I wonder how your legitimate children are feeling right now.

-I heard. -You and the rest of Fairmont Crest.

I checked on your mother earlier, but how are you

and your sister holding up?

Well...

Hi, Kat.

No need for niceties. [chuckles softly]

I'll check in with you two at a better time.

Thank you.

What happened now, sis?

Eva.

I just caught her in here acting way too friendly with Tomas.

And what did they say when you checked them?

Well, I had to leave before I caused a scene.

Now I'm back and they're gone.

Probably off somewhere scheming.

There could be an innocent explanation.

-Like what? -Eva told Tomas who she really is.

For all you know, he could be reading her for filth.

[sighs] Maybe you're right.

I guess I'm just seeing the worst in men right now.

Trust me, I get it.

I paid Dad a visit earlier.

I felt like I needed to tell him exactly how much he hurt Mom.

He gave me this big emotional speech

about how he's gonna spend the rest of his life

making it up to us.

As if that's possible.

I grew up thinking I had the best dad in the world.

Now I have to claim a father

who went making babies behind Mom's back.

And with a bargain bin homewrecker, of all people.

[footsteps approaching]

Are you hungry?

Sorry I didn't think to bring anything.

How did you get beyond the gate?

I got the codes from Eva.

I'll have them changed immediately.

Now get the hell out of my house.

I know you hate me,

but I need you to hear me out.

There's something you need to know.

I never meant to hurt you.

Please.

If hurt was not your goal,

all you had to do was stay away.

Instead, you staged this theatrical entrance,

pretending to be a suicidal woman named Sherry,

having your daughter infiltrate my-my home,

my practice, my life.

My goal was to expose the truth. That's all.

Then why not come to me, woman-to-woman,

when we first met on that roof?

You could have walked into my office any day of the week.

Hell, you could have sent a text, an email,

written a letter, anything.

None of that would have worked.

I mean, this had to be done. In a...

A time and a place where I would be humiliated, right?

-Well... -Why are you having such a hard time

admitting the truth?

You went through all of this trouble to get my attention.

You got it.

Now explain.

I wish I knew how.

I'm sorry, but I am not an educated doctor

like you, Nicole.

I mean, you have this way of understanding people

so much better

than I ever could.

Are we really doing this now?

The crocodile tears?

Save them.

You knew exactly what you were doing.

Okay, fine. You want the truth?

This isn't about you.

No.

[chuckles softly]

All I wanted was to get back at that two-timing Ted.

♪ ♪

JOEY: Million dollars

for your thoughts.

Joey.

Wow.

From your expression, I'd say the fate of the world

hangs in the balance and it's up to you to fix it.

You're not all that far off.

Well, maybe I can help.

'Scuse me. Old-fashioned for me and, uh,

another round for the lady.

Thanks, Joey, but this isn't something

that any of your businesses can fix,

legal or otherwise.

I'm more than my interests.

I'm a good listener.

Give me a chance to prove it.

Mims was moved to Dr. Zweig's service after your injury.

Post-op was going smooth until this morning.

She developed minor complications,

so they started her on additional medication.

Sounds good.

-Doug. -Uh...

I'm sorry. I'm-I'm good.

Uh, where were you just now?

RANDY: Well, look what

the wind blew in.

-Hmm. -First time in the cut, queen?

Um... [chuckles softly] yes.

Well, this room is usually for the big spenders.

But I got you.

I'll comp you in so you can, uh, check it out.

Oh, I didn't come to gamble.

-[chuckles softly] -Hmm.

Have you seen this woman?

Her name is Leslie Thomas.

Oh, no, that's...

that's not how we move here.

They mind their business,

we mind ours.

All right, then.

Let me ask you something else.

All the slot machines that she claims she won big on--

where are they?

Slots? [chuckles softly]

Strike two.

No, sweetheart,

we are strictly tables here.

No machines.

Feel me?

Oh, I feel you completely.

Well,

you came all the way down here.

Might as well get your feet wet.

[stammers]

-Matter of fact, I think I will. -Mm.

My kids are rightfully furious.

You'll be pleased to know

that Martin just read me the riot act.

My nephew does have a way with words.

-Mm. -That comes from our side of the family.

-Let's hope he didn't inherit the cheating gene from yours. -[scoffs]

-Dani, please. -I am the first

to admit that I'm a handful.

Hell, some folks probably think that I...

pushed Bill into Hayley's arms.

-Mm. -But Nicole?

She has been nothing but the perfect wife.

Understanding,

even-tempered.

She held down that practice

while making sure dinner was on the table every night.

You'll get no argument there from me.

Then how could you do something

so dirty to someone who treated you so well?

I'm still trying to figure that out to this day.

-[sighs] We were going through a rough patch. -Yeah.

No, no. You cannot use her fertility issues

as an excuse, Ted.

That's lower than low.

I know it's not what you want to hear, but...

it's the truth.

Maybe my affair was my escape,

But I never stopped loving Nicole.

And your daughter?

If I knew I had a illegitimate daughter out there,

I never would have left her out there to fend for herself.

I'm no monster.

That remains to be determined.

[chuckles]

This is pointless.

I think it's time for you to leave.

Go ahead.

Kick me out of your lonely hotel room.

But this is far from over.

Theodore.

Anita.

I hope you weren't planning on going anywhere.

I have a few things I need to say.

You have finally said something I actually believe.

My children and I were just a pawn

in your little revenge fantasy.

Even your own daughter was a means to an end for you.

I never meant to cause all this pain.

But there was no way to hold Ted accountable

if everyone in his life didn't know

what kind of man he truly is.

I want you to know that I was telling the truth.

[sniffles] Here.

What's this?

Well, this is a DNA test

showing you that Eva really is Ted's daughter.

I heard you had one done.

Yeah. Isn't that funny, how everyone at the party

said that I was a liar,

I was crazy.

Why does everyone underestimate me?

I think I understand you perfectly.

You fell in love with a man

that never considered you a priority.

Excuse me?

As pathetic as you are,

it doesn't excuse anything that you have done.

Using your daughter as a weapon,

infiltrating my life like it's a sport.

But I had reason.

I had good reasons.

I'm asking you,

for the first time in your miserable life,

to show some grace.

Leave me and my family alone.

For what it's worth...

...I think you're a lovely, lovely lady.

-And I truly am sorry. -[scoffs]

It's worth absolutely nothing.

Now get out.

You know what's really sending me?

What?

He was out here in these streets,

hopping between beds.

He literally got two women pregnant at the same time.

Yeah. Dad really outdid himself on that one.

It's, like, beyond nasty.

I have a half sister my age.

I'm still trying to process that part, too.

But like it or not, Eva is our sister.

So we have to figure out a way to...

deal with it.

Well, I have a suggestion.

What?

Run that basic bitch back to wherever she came.

Eva's mom used her, truly, in a twisted plan.

And as much as I'm tired

of our family having these public, embarrassing moments,

I can't help but feel for her.

Martin, there are no cameras or press around,

so you can drop the Boy Scout act.

Thank you. Look,

you can stay mad at Eva all you want.

But right now, Mom needs us.

And I'm headed there now.

Well, I guess we better hurry up

before Eva and her mercenary mama try to take the house, too.

[sighs]

Deal me in.

And the Oscar for Best Actress

-goes to... -No shade. I never picture you

as a poker-playing type.

Funny, I never thought you'd be the type

to play a backstabbing heifer, yet here we are.

You seem upset.

That doesn't even begin to describe it.

I know Leslie was behind all this,

but that's no excuse.

You're grown. You made your own choices.

Playing Nicole, acting all innocent

and grateful for the opportunity.

Girl, bye.

I know what I did to Nicole,

and I feel horrible about it.

How do you feel about what you did to me?

I put my reputation on the line to get Nicole to hire you.

Anita said they don't blame me,

but I'm not stupid.

Nobody in that family

is ever gonna be able to trust my judgment again.

Nicole will never hold it against you.

None of this was your fault.

You don't say.

Look, I'm not gonna be a problem anymore.

I cleaned out my stuff from the office. I'm out.

I gave you a key to the house.

Still got that?

I was gonna give it back, but Nicole and I

-got interrup-- -Hand it over.

[rustling]

There.

My last ties to Nicole.

Mama kicked me out.

Ted said he won't let me end up on the streets, but...

I feel like I lost everything.

Good.

Join the party, Mother.

I've been telling Ted all about himself, but I would love

-to hear your take. -Mm.

I'd be delighted to share.

I apologize for all of this

and I know I'm solely responsible

for this whole debacle.

But it's between me, my wife and my children.

-All three of them? -That we know of for now.

My brief, regrettable affair with Dana

is the only time that I ever strayed.

Now, Nicole--

she has the right to throw the book at me.

But you, Anita,

with all due respect,

I will not be your punching bag.

This entire debacle has revealed your true character, Theodore.

You are a coward.

That's why you didn't tell Nicole about the affair.

That's why you had Bill clean up your mess.

That's why you're holed up in this hotel room,

licking your wounds and apparently

drowning your sorrows,

when you should be fighting to make things right.

But I guess that's all for the best.

And why is that, Mother?

ANITA: Clearly,

he is not man enough to be worthy of a Dupree woman.

Everyone thought my bestie had the perfect marriage.

Turns out her husband was keeping

two of the biggest secrets a man can keep from his wife--

an affair

and a now-grown child.

-Ooh. That's a lot. -Mm.

How is she?

Devastated.

Rightfully so.

Aside from the now-grown child,

been there, done that.

I feel completely useless.

How do I even help her through this?

Hell, I feel like a hypocrite for even trying

to give anyone advice when I can barely keep

-my own marriage together. -You're not a hypocrite.

You're a romantic.

I'm what now?

You believed in the happily ever after,

even if it wasn't in the cards,

and now you're mourning the loss of that belief

as much as you're hurting for your friend.

That...

is a genuinely insightful observation.

You sound surprised.

-I just didn't expect-- -Expect someone like me

to be so deep.

For lack of a better phrase.

Well, when someone intrigues me,

I study them.

I know you better than you realize, Vanessa.

SHANICE: Dr. McBride.

Don't take this the wrong way, but...

Go ahead, Shanice.

Speak your piece.

I have watched you heal patients within these halls for years.

Something ain't right here, Doc.

And it's more than just that wrist.

But you need to figure out what's really eating at you

and go heal yourself.

Oh!

How dare that shrink talk to me like that.

Not good enough to be Ted's priority.

Puh-lease!

The only reason he chose her is for her money

and because of her bougie-ass family.

[knocking]

Mona.

I thought you were mad at me.

But you're here.

We're still friends.

Don't you dare touch me.

I came here to let you know I'm not about to let you

play me for a fool ever again.

Mona, please, just listen.

Every word out of your mouth was a lie.

-That's not true. -I just came from the casino.

They don't even have slot machines

in a back room or anywhere else.

So all that money you used to buy that fancy dress--

the one you wore to humiliate Ted and Nicole--

where'd it really come from?

I feel sorry for my grandchildren,

for being stuck with a weak-willed man for a father.

Thank God Martin is so close to Vernon.

A man who's a proper role model.

A man who would never betray his family.

I'm going to do everything in my power to earn their forgiveness.

And Nicole's as well.

Well, I hope that's true.

Because while you've been hiding in this hotel room,

feeling sorry for yourself,

that mistress of yours has run amok.

-What? -That woman had the audacity to show up to my home

with Eva's birth certificate

and a DNA test proving that girl is your child.

I had no idea.

It took everything in me not to drag that woman back

to whatever hole she's been hiding in.

ANITA: We managed to handle the situation

without any violence.

Yet another instance of somebody else

cleaning up your mess.

Dani?

Yes, Mother.

We're through here.

If you have any hope

of ever regaining Nicole's trust and respect,

here's a hint.

Handle your business.

[door opens, shuts]

Hey, Mom.

We brought you something.

Aw, my babies.

-Hi, Mom. [chuckles] -[chuckles] Mwah.

Mmm.

I am so glad you're here.

Leslie just left.

-Oh, hell no! -She was here?

That woman just showed up to the grands yesterday, too.

That's it. We need to contact Fairmont Crest security.

-She's getting blocked at the gate. -Did she threaten you?

Actually, in her own twisted way,

she came to apologize.

Or at least that's what she wanted me to think.

She said her only intention was to get back at your father.

-And you bought that? -Oh, no, baby.

Anybody fixated purely on Ted

would not be making house calls to his family.

Well, when you contact security, you need to put Eva

on that list, too.

She already came for her things from the office.

I think Eva has accepted

that this chapter of her life is over.

Respectfully, Mom, I think you're being a little naive.

That girl is not going away. Ooh.

I don't even want to think

about how she's gonna try to dig her claws into Dad.

I need to cash out.

[chuckles softly] Night's still young.

We got a couple hot hands coming up,

and looks like you're on a hot streak.

[chuckles]

As pathetic as it sounds,

this is the first thing that's gone right for me all week.

-Mm. -I figure I should quit

while I can still afford dinner.

Fair enough.

LESLIE: Okay,

I-I lied to you

about winning the money at the casino.

Then where did it really come from?

Credit cards.

Okay? I got all these offers in the mail,

and-and I-I maxed them all out.

I didn't want to tell you

because I didn't want you and Jan to judge me.

Mona, I am not a criminal.

It's-it's me.

I'm still Leslie.

That's exactly the problem.

You're the same snake you've always been.

All those gossip sessions, you were just gathering tea

for your little ambush, weren't you?

-It isn't like that. -Just like you used me to get Eva that job

as Nicole's temporary assistant.

You were playing me for a fool the whole time.

I had my motives in the beginning.

I did.

Girl, you are the realest friend I've ever had.

Real friends don't use each other.

Hell was made for people like you, Leslie.

Enjoy the burn.

Mona.

Telling that man about himself

was better than my morning meditation.

-[chuckles softly] -First time my shoulders have dropped

-since that train wreck of an anniversary. -Mm-hmm.

The power of a good read.

You had Ted shook.

I bet he broke down as soon as we left.

Oh, I don't need his tears.

I need him to get himself together

for Martin and Kat's sake.

He is still their father.

And what about Nicole?

You think she and Ted will work it out?

I'm always aiming to impress you.

And you don't need to be nervous with me.

But then, you should be aware of that,

given the discretion I've shown

with everything I know about you.

[chuckles softly] I suppose you have a point.

You really are wise, aren't you?

Oh, we've barely scratched the surface

-of my infinite wisdom. -[chuckles softly]

Come back to my place and I'll give you the benefit of it all.

Man, I wish I could say I was happy to see you.

And I would be,

-if it was anywhere but here. -Look, Randy,

it's not what you think.

So what is it?

People at work are starting to notice something's...

off with me.

I just need a few rounds to clear my head.

[sighs]

Funny story.

There was a woman that was here just earlier

who did exactly what you should do.

-She won a little something and-- -How much?

None of your business.

What's important is that she bounced with her money intact.

Smart.

That's what I said.

You know, Joey hates those kind of customers.

Me, I love them.

Because I don't have to worry about this place...

blowing up their whole situation.

When did you become such a big softie?

When I realized my childhood best friend was spiraling.

You are standing on an edge, man.

Look at me.

I'm-a tell you straight up.

Take a step back,

turn around,

and walk away.

Everyone I've ever loved has turned their backs on me.

Ted?

I fantasized about you coming here, but...

I didn't think it'd actually happen.

I came here to tell you to stay the hell away from the Duprees.

Nicole and her family are off-limits.

Mess with them again,

and you'll have to deal with me.

Do you think you're possibly being too hard on Eva?

No. Respectfully,

I knew something was off about that girl from day one.

I still can't figure out how you saw what everybody else missed.

I never got a bad vibe from her.

I was talking to Chelsea,

and she suggested that since Kat and Eva are sisters

and close in age,

maybe they have some kind of subliminal connection.

Like twins?

So you're a comedian now?

The only thing connecting me to that girl is a lab result.

And to be honest, I'm starting to think that's a con, too.

I will support whatever decision Nicole makes about her marriage,

but I can only accept her taking Ted back

if he finds a way to truly make amends.

Amends?

After what he did?

Lesser men have been forgiven for far worse.

I know. But this wasn't

just your garden variety affair, Mother.

The man knocked up a whole nutcase

and then kept it quiet for decades.

I cannot believe Ted turned out to be such a disappointment.

You sound almost as betrayed

-as Nicole. -I was a big fan

of his when Nicole brought him home.

Now I'm starting to doubt my own instincts.

Both my daughters married unfaithful men.

It's making me question

if I made some mistakes as a parent.

Nicole and I made our decisions.

Our marital disasters

don't reflect on who you are as a parent.

Far from it.

Your father and I tried to set an example

by showing you girls what a relationship based on respect

and faithfulness really looked like.

You were the best possible role model.

Maybe I should have put more effort

into warning you about the possible red flags.

I mean, I certainly was exposed to enough toxic male behavior

in the music business.

I am getting sick of that one popping up everywhere.

Well, it's a public establishment.

We can't ask her to leave.

I have a better idea.

Excuse me.

Eva.

I'm just here to get dinner.

I don't want any trouble.

Neither do I.

Truth is, I'm...

tired of all this tension and conflict.

So I'm going to be the bigger person

and ask you to join us.

Nicole must have run crying to you about my little visit.

Wait, you saw Nicole, too?

Uh, I-I didn't do anything wrong.

I just wanted to explain to her that I didn't mean to hurt her.

When was this?

Just a little while ago.

[scoffs] My God, Dana.

It was bad enough that you went

to my mother-in-law Anita's house.

Now you're showing up, harassing my wife. Still!

I needed Nicole to understand

that what I did had nothing to do with her.

It was all up about you.

Congratulations, Dana.

Nicole kicked me out.

Kat and Martin want nothing to do with me.

And you have succeeded in ruining my life!

I didn't want that.

Then what the hell did you want?

You.

I'm still in love with you, Ted.

That's quite the tempting offer.

Well, as a realtor, I would think you would be interested

in the unique architectural features of my home.

It really is something special.

I'm sure.

But I'm gonna have to pass.

Well, that surprises me. That's not your usual style.

Trust me, I'm just as shocked as you are.

But my gut is telling me that, tonight,

I need to go back to my home and sleep in my own bed.

Another time then.

Good night, Joey.

Good night.

I said my gambling days are over.

And I mean it.

All right.

-Good looking out. -Always.

Hi.

Deal me in.

[sniffs]

I saw the DNA results.

Eva has the identical blood type as your father,

plus several other genetic markers that I remember

from when we were getting tested with fertility issues.

Eva and Leslie couldn't have possibly known

or faked that information.

Sounds like there's not much up for debate.

NICOLE: The two of you

need to come to terms with Eva being your half sister.

You don't have to be friends with her.

But it does look like she will be in Ted's life.

It's gonna take some adjustments

and a lot of processing.

Processing what?

The fact that Dad got his side piece pregnant

at the same time as Mom?

Ugh! I can't even.

I will never forgive them for what they did to you, Mom.

And if it's the last thing I do,

I'm gonna make them pay.

There are a few things you need to understand.

Okay.

You have been through a traumatic experience.

And I am not unsympathetic.

After all,

I'm involved with several foundations

that serve troubled young women

not much different than you.

I'm not a charity case.

No, she certainly is not.

Eva has proven herself to be quite resourceful.

Nicole said I was one of the best assistants she's ever had.

Until...

-you know. -And it is good

that you've already landed on your feet.

Ted intends to provide Eva with housing,

which is the least he can do,

all things considered.

It's just for now.

I'm going to find work.

I've always had a job.

You were a hairstylist, right?

Maybe you can go back to doing that.

ANITA: I am so glad

that you have a fallback.

And I'm really sorry that you were not properly parented

due to your mother's obvious issues.

And I hope that Ted steps up to be a real father.

Thanks for saying that.

Now, I'm unclear as to what Ted's future with Nicole is

or the two children he raised with his name,

but I want you to understand something.

No matter what happens,

because of the way you deliberately hurt Nicole,

my daughter...

...you will never be a part of the Dupree family.

Someone as twisted as you--

you're not capable of loving anyone.

That's not true.

I have loved you for decades.

[chuckles] Is that what you call it?

Yes.

Yes. Yes. I was angry at you at first.

But, I mean, come on, all that hell that you put me through?

But beneath all that anger,

my heart still belonged to you.

I mean, come on.

After all, you are the father of my child.

[chuckles]

That little girl that you just kicked out

after you completed your demented scheme?

The child that you had no more use for, right?

That one?

How'd you know about that?

Because she came to me in distress.

I bought her a hotel room.

I'm gonna secure her an apartment.

See? You really do care.

No. I care about my daughter.

Not you.

Well, half your daughter's DNA is mine.

So if you're opening up your heart to her...

...you are opening it up to me, too.

What is wrong in that psychotic head of yours?

You loved me once, Ted.

You can love me again.

The only reason I convinced myself that I loved you was

to feel good about myself when I was cheating on my wife.

Nicole is the only woman that I'm gonna ever love.

I'm not going anywhere, Teddy boo.

So if you need me...

...I'll be around.

I'll never need anything from you.

[chuckles softly]

Mmm.

Sure about that, Teddy boo?

[chuckles]

I don't know.

Just wait.
