Crap...

Dad, what is going on with this?

Come in.

Hey.

Good morning, Manny.

- There she is, boss lady. - I keep telling you,

you don't have to call me that.

I've been calling you that forever.

Okay, but my dad was the boss, not me.

I barely even came to visit.

I was too busy, you know, in my real estate business.

Not event planning.

Well, you're still the boss lady,

according to your father.

And he was so proud of his daughter,

the real estate agent.

Yeah, the man's gonna be really missed.

Yeah, I know.

- Hey, Chica. - Hmm?

You got this, okay? You got this.

Just know he's in a better place now.

Yeah, he is.

And I got you.

So, whatever it you need, whatever it is you wanna do,

you know that Manny's got your back.

I know. You're the best, Manny.

Thank you.

You know what? I know I'm the best.

But I just wanna hear you say it again.

Manny's the best!

There it is. Boom!

Good, she's back.

So, while I have you here, how-how's Mr. McKinney doing?

Oh, uh, you know, he's good.

He's busy filming his projects. - Okay.

I know everything that has happened with my father

hasn't been easy on him.

Well, I know it hasn't been easy on you, too.

No, it hasn't, but you know me.

Stephanie's gonna be okay.

You know, I just it keep moving and sprint through the hurdles.

Yeah, yes, yes, this is true.

Yes, you do.

I do. Thank you, Manny.

Yeah, you got it.

If you need anything, I'm gonna be out there, okay?

- Okay. - All right?

You good, boss lady?

I'm good, Manny.

All right. Boss lady's back.

- Yeah, I'm back. - Okay.

Come in.

- Good morning, Steven. - Morning.

Here is your ticket, itinerary, and package

for the planners' convention.

Oh, that's not until next month.

Oh, I know, but I wanted to get it done early,

so I can get you a good rate on your flight.

And, you know I'll be on my honeymoon

that week you're leaving.

So, just wanted to take care of everything beforehand

to avoid any issues.

Ah, so efficient.

That's one of the many reasons I hired you.

And I'm glad I did.

Well, I'm glad you hired me too.

And I wanna say thank you for giving me a whole week off,

considering the fact that I had just started.

I'm so excited.

We're getting married in Jamaica.

Oh, well, uh, all right. Sounds nice, uh, best wishes.

Oh, Miranda, do me a favor

and please make sure all the clients know

that we'll be out of the office

the entire week of the convention.

- Okay, no problem. - All right.

I'll get on that today.

Ah, you're the best. Don't ever change.

Just doing my job.

Hey, do you mind if I take an early lunch today?

I have a few things to take care of.

Ah, why not?

Thank you.

People ask me all the time, "What is psychotherapy?"

Psychotherapy is a talking treatment.

I use talking, rather than medication,

to help people with their issues.

I believe that it's so important

to have someone help you talk through your problems,

rather than being given a prescription

and just being sent on your way.

Only time to face the problems once the issues come back.

I'm Dr. Maxine Moore.

Come on and see me and let's talk.

Hey, babe. You're home early.

Hey.

Uh, babe, yeah.

Well, the client wrapped early today.

They wanna switch concepts, take it in a new direction.

So, yeah, probably gonna be at the studio late tomorrow.

And, hell, probably all week.

You know, just going over planning,

new concepts, re-shoots.

You know how it goes. - Yeah, I'm sorry to hear that.

It's all good. It comes with the territory.

What about you? You had a day.

How did it go today at the store?

Everything is so crazy.

I cannot believe all the past due notices

and the business that wasn't handled.

Oh.

Well, I'm pretty sure your father did everything

that he could, right?

Yeah, but if he would've let me just help him sooner,

we wouldn't be in this situation.

And I would've quit my job

if I would've known that things were this bad.

Oh, babe, it's cool.

I'm pretty sure you're gonna get it sorted out.

Yeah, it's gonna take lots of money and long hours.

It's what you gotta do.

Everything to save the family business, right?

You know I get it.

Yeah, I mean, I definitely don't wanna lose it

after being in business for 35 years.

So... - You won't.

'Cause you're a smart girl.

You'll figure something out.

Well, thank you for your vote of confidence.

Baby, what do you wanna eat for dinner?

Yeah, whatever you makin', I'm with it.

Hello.

I can't wait to hear all about it.

Tomorrow.

Awesome!

Thank you. Thanks for letting me know.

Okay.

All right, well, see you... see you... see you tomorrow.

Enjoy your evening.

Bye-bye.

Who was that?

Miranda. My new assistant.

Miranda?

What happened to Callie?

Oh.

She didn't work out. Mental health issues.

Well, why is she calling at this hour,

instead of just waiting to see you at work tomorrow?

Because she wasn't scheduled to come into work tomorrow,

but she was letting me know because I'm her boss

that she's not gonna leave me hanging,

and she'll be in after all.

And what's with all the questions?

I mean, since when do you care

about what's happening in my business?

I'm your wife and your partner.

Aren't I entitled to know?

You know, usually, you don't care.

And, furthermore, no, you don't wanna know.

Well, I do now. I care.

Food's here.

Oh... well, hello, miss.

Hello.

Can I be of any service?

Well, I'm looking for a fabulous, talented director

who can produce a commercial for me.

Oh, well, you've definitely come to the right place.

I can help you with that.

Were you satisfied with your initial results?

Oh, yes, very.

But I need some more.

Let me show you what I need.

Okay, um...

come on in.

I'm sure we can find something that...

Damn.

Yeah.

I need that.

Listen, uh, this ain't a commercial.

This might be a movie.

Hey, boss lady.

Please stop calling me that.

Look, I'm not gonna stop calling you that.

So you might as well get over it.

Okay.

Okay, so, listen.

One of our customers, they left us this flyer,

and I wanted to pass it along to you.

Okay, well, what is it?

Okay, well, it's an event planner's convention

for events, weddings, and suppliers.

I think you should check it out.

This might be a good opportunity to get some big accounts,

maybe make some good connections to help,

you know, build the business back up.

Well, when is it?

Uh, she said it was, uh, next month.

Okay. Okay, maybe.

I know you were trying to do some new things,

so this might be a step in that direction.

Okay, thank you.

Will you at least consider it?

I said, okay. I got it.

- Okay. - Okay, bye.

Bye.

Yeah, yeah, yeah. Can we use that?

Nice. Nice.

Hey-hey, I'm a little busy right now. What's up?

Hey, I'm here, and I'm just... I'm setting set up.

This place is packed with so many vendors, babe.

Oh, my God. It's amazing.

It's unlike anything I've ever seen before.

Yeah-yeah, baby, that's good.

Yeah, it is good

because I'm gonna be able to do a lot of networking.

Good, good.

You can, uh, finally use those real estate agent skills

that you've been letting go to waste lately.

Yeah, that's... yeah, that's the plan.

Hey, hey, look, um,

I gotta get back to this shoot.

I'm sorry, I gotta go.

Yeah, okay, well, I gotta finish setting up,

so I'll call you when I finish?

Oh-oh, no, I'm-I'm not gonna be able to answer.

I'm shootin', so I won't answer the phone.

Then, I'll call you when I get back to the hotel.

Yeah, yeah, okay, baby. Whatever.

- Okay, I love you. - Yeah, yeah, ditto.

Go, all right.

All right...

- Hi. - Hi.

Kendall Company Store.

Okay, your store sell plates?

Lunch... food supplies.

Supplies for any event, actually.

Um, we also distribute to stores

and event planning companies, but really, I'm just here to...

Oh, okay, yeah. How's business?

It could be better.

Um, but that's why I'm here.

I'm definitely not in the same league

as all these other vendors, so...

Ah, don't worry about them.

I'm Steven, by the way. You are?

Stephanie.

- Stephanie. - Yes.

- Nice to meet you. - Nice to meet you.

Yeah.

Well, Stephanie, I am in marketing and branding,

and I can have you up and running at their level

in no time.

Well, I don't know what all that means in this business,

but that sounds good to me.

Maybe we can have lunch and discuss it later.

I don't know.

I-I don't think I should, um, leave my booth.

Well, everybody pretty much closes down

around lunchtime anyway.

So, I mean, you'd be here by yourself.

If you wanna stay here, I mean...

I'm not gonna keep you for long.

Um, this is my first time at one of these things,

so I'm not quite sure how all this works.

Well, stick with me. I'll show you the ropes.

Okay, sounds good to me.

Okay, I guess I'll see you later then.

Yeah, okay, see you soon.

- Okay. - Oh.

- Got ya. - Thank you.

- There you go. - Thanks.

- Good luck. - Thanks.

I am definitely going to need it.

- You got this. - Have a good day.

You, too.

All right, guys, listen up.

You did a good job today. I mean it.

Look, it's gonna be a late one tomorrow.

So make sure you get some rest.

Gonna be right back at it, okay?

See you soon.

- Hey, handsome. - Hey.

Are you finished for the day?

Yeah, we're wrapping up.

You wanna grab a late lunch, early dinner?

Whatever you wanna call it.

I'm done with my clients for today,

so we can make a day and a night of it.

Okay, well, I got a few things I gotta tie up here, first.

So, I'll meet you there.

Okay, Miami's, right?

Yeah, okay. See you in a little bit.

All right? - Can't wait.

All right, guys, let's go.

Wrap it up.

So, how'd you do today?

Not so good.

I, uh, handed out a few business cards,

but not much interest.

Hmm?

Well, a beautiful woman like yourself,

you should have no problem at all

selling your product.

You know, h-here's an idea.

Why don't we, after lunch,

why don't we come up with a plan

to get you where you need to be.

Thank you, but don't you have promoting

for your own business?

I got a lot done this morning,

and I'm gonna get a whole lot done tomorrow.

Let's focus on you.

Wow, really? That is so nice of you.

Are you sure you have time for me?

I'll-I'll make time.

Yeah, it-it'll be fun.

It's what I do. Let's do this.

- It will be fun. - Yeah, come on.

Okay.

She's gone.

Hey, you've reached Mason McKinney.

Please leave your name, number...

Thank you. I-I needed that.

Well, this is it.

Last day,

Gotta knock some more homeruns out of the park.

Well, I haven't done bad, so far.

Thanks to you, I've made quite a few connections.

Yeah, I mean, you know, but this is it.

I mean, you gotta break the record today.

So you know what we're gonna do?

What is that?

We are gonna go to all these booths

and we're gonna do some serious next level networking.

Okay, well, what about my booth?

Don't worry about that. It's not going anywhere.

Here's your cards. - Oh, okay.

Here's your contact information.

I mean, besides, you haven't even indulged

in the experience itself. - You're right.

I don't want you to miss any opportunities, now.

I mean, look-look at this.

Look at all of these future clients.

Okay, okay, okay, you know what?

Okay, let's do it!

Let's do it, let's do it, let's do it, let's do it.

All right, here we go. Let's get it.

- All right. - All right, shall we?

- We shall. - All-righty.

I just don't understand why I'm always the one

being left behind.

What makes you feel that way?

Well, here I am once again sitting in your office,

for the tenth time, by myself.

I just-I just...

I'm trying to figure out what I keep doing wrong.

Well, you may not be doing anything wrong.

But, it could be your choices.

Let's start with your approach.

Well, it's like this animal magnetism that I have.

I just can't help but roar when I see a sexy man.

Roar?

Yeah, I just can't help it.

Rawr.

I just wanna eat him up. Rawr.

And how's that working out for you?

Well, not too great.

They keep leaving.

'Kay, let's see if we can come up

with a different approach.

Something a little bit more subtle.

Meow?

Even more subtle.

Meow.

- Okay, I'll take that. - Okay.

Now, that was fun.

I mean, I-I knew you were gonna enjoy yourself.

Now, see, we met a whole lot of very interesting people

who can really help grow your business.

Yes, we did,

but I wish that we would've met some investors as well.

I can help with that, too.

You know what?

What?

I'm really glad I met you.

You made this whole trip worthwhile for me.

Did I?

Well, I'm really glad that I met you, too.

Wow, I, uh, I haven't done this in so long.

Done what?

Just walk, talk...

eat ice cream.

I mean, sounds to me

like someone really doesn't value what he has.

You should be doing things like this every day.

Especially if you have somebody special.

Well, I would love to,

but there's just not enough time in the day

for the little things.

And lately, I have been questioning

who that someone special is.

Yeah, it, um...

Attention, vendors and guests.

We will be closing the convention early today

due to technical issues with the facility.

Thank you for your understanding in this matter,

and I hope you enjoyed your time at the planner's convention.

We hope to see you all again next year.

Well, I need... I need to pack up.

Well, I need to help you.

And you can't forget this.

Never.

Where do we, um, start?

Oh, um, yeah, I guess, um,

what are you gonna do with these?

Baby, can we have lunch tomorrow?

I'm gonna finish with my clients early,

and we can have a long lunch.

- Mm-mm. - Ouch.

- Can't even do early. - Why?

I have to pick Steph up from the airport.

Oh, my God.

Babe, that's time you could be spending with me.

Just tell her to get in a car.

Now you know I'm not gonna do that.

Oh, my God.

But I'll see what I can make happen.

Don't see, do.

My husband's coming back tomorrow night,

and all this bedroom rendezvous stuff

is gonna be over for a while.

I guess that means we gotta make tonight count.

Yes, that's what that means.

If I stay, you gonna make me breakfast in bed?

I am your breakfast.

Well, feed me now, then.

Come on.

I had a really good time today.

Me, too. Yeah, Stephanie, um,

we are definitely gonna have to keep in touch

when we get back to L.A.

I would really like that.

Yeah, um, you were really impressive.

- Well... - Great job.

...thanks to you for all the marketing tips.

And, I really appreciate you

for helping me send back all my things.

Don't mention it. It was easy.

Um, I have a plethora of tips and techniques

I'm gonna share with you.

Just you wait and see, young lady.

Cool. Well, I'm here.

- Yeah. I really... - I made it back.

I enjoyed spending time with you

these last couple of days, Stephanie.

Um, same.

Well, have a good night. - You too.

You know, it just really sucks that

you are always pushing me so hard at my business,

considering what you do professionally

in your business. - What does that mean?

It means that your business is about nurturing

and healing people, and yet, you don't understand

that I have to nurture my clients, too, Max.

You do marketing, Steven.

It's supposed to be aggressive.

Not necessarily, Max.

Mm-mm. Mm-mm.

No, I-I need to have a personal connection,

okay, with people.

I'm building brands for people.

Well, whatever you're doing, it's not working.

You could be doing more. - I'm successful.

- You're maintaining. - I'm growing.

You should be doing more than growing

at this point in your life, especially at your age.

- At my age? - Yeah.

If I recall, you're not too far behind me, my dear.

Yes, but I have two very successful practices

to prove it. - Oh!

So it's like that? - Oh, yeah.

Oh, you did it all by yourself, huh?

No. No, Max, no.

I was there.

I helped you build both of those successful practices.

I was there from the beginning.

Where is all of this coming from?

I was looking at our tax returns,

and it just hit me.

We need to get two separate bank accounts,

and I need my own account.

What?

No, no, no. Hell no.

No, n-no.

That's not what we agreed to.

We agreed that we would always be equal partners

in both business, Max.

And-and-and that we would always file our taxes together.

Okay, and now your business is more successful than mine,

you wanna change up, separate everything?

No, we're not doing that.

I'm gonna do the taxes just like I do every year.

You used to have such a drive and such a passion.

I still have that drive and that passion.

What you mean?

We're talking about business here, right?

Are we?

Food's here.

Excuse me.

And we can always customize.

I'll be right back.

Hey, what a surprise. - Hey. Yeah.

- How are you? - I'm great. How are you?

- I'm amazing. - Yeah.

I was doing a marketing and branding thing

for a client at the party,

and I just thought I'd stop by and check you out.

Do you even live on this side of town?

Oh, no. No, I live, like,

away by the beach, I mean, but...

I mean, on the other... I just wanted to stop by

and say hi to my...

my future client.

Well, who said that I was a future client?

I am manifesting and being positive.

Okay, yes to keeping it positive.

How can I help you?

Um, this my color?

What are you looking for?

Uh, something chic, something sweet,

something nice.

- What's the event, Steve? - Um, it's a celebration.

Oh, my goodness.

- Hey, baby. - Hey.

Whew, man.

- You know... - What?

Something seems really different between us.

Baby, what does that even mean?

I don't know, I feel like

you didn't really miss me when I was gone.

- What? - I mean, it's been a week,

and this is the first dinner that we're having together,

and I can't even remember the last time

that you and I even made love.

What... first of all, calm down.

I've just been working, baby.

I've been under a lot of pressure, you know?

This is stressful on me.

Okay, but you're always under stress at work.

Mm-hmm.

So tell me who's giving it to you.

Wait, what?

Wait, what the hell are you even talking about?

I'm not doing this right now.

I gotta get ready for a meeting.

Okay, so you're just not gonna have dinner again

for the fifth night in a row?

Baby, you need to stop counting days.

Okay, well, when are you going to be back?

When I'm done.

I don't know. It's work.

When I'm finished, I'm going to come home.

Damn.

- Hello? - Hey.

How's my new client?

I'm not your client yet.

You will be very soon, yes?

Um, in fact, how about we go out to lunch

and, uh, we can discuss the marketing and branding plan

that I have created just for you.

Well, I do need to do some restructuring for the company,

so maybe it's a good idea after all.

Yeah, it's a great idea. Please believe.

Um, I mean, I can even pick you up if you like.

Um, yeah, no. I can just...

I can meet you somewhere.

Oh, no, no, but-but-but I wanted

to take you somewhere special.

It's a surprise.

- Okay. - Okay. Bye.

Yeah, I'm taking it all in.

Steven, this is really, really nice. Wow.

I knew you'd like it.

- Thank you. - Yeah.

Hello. Oh, thank you so much.

Thanks.

Hi, this is Stephanie.

Sorry I missed your call.

Please leave a message after the beep.

Hi, this is Stephanie.

Sorry I missed your call.

Please leave a message after the beep.

- Hey. Hey, you. - Hey, love.

I want to see you now.

No, I can't do that, Max.

Things are a little crazy around here.

- Well, what about tonight? - Tonight?

I'm going to be working late, so that ain't gonna work.

Well, I haven't seen you in almost a week.

Come on now, Max, it's been two days.

You better not be avoiding me,

especially because of her.

First off, calm down.

Like I said, I'm really tied up at work right now.

And besides, hold on.

We don't have to see each other every day now, do we?

Yes, we do.

I need you to make sure that you...

Oh, oh, oh.

Look, like I said, I got to go.

I'm working.

Damn.

Hey, Manny. Heading out, not sure when I'll be back.

All right. Keep it safe, boss lady.

Okay, hold it down.

- Take a look. - What is this?

Go ahead.

I'm your new investor.

Steven...

What is...

what is this?

No, this is... this is too much.

This is too much.

No. Because you are everything.

Thank you.

I don't know what else to say.

It's my pleasure.

Are you thinking what I'm thinking?

What are you thinking?

How much I want to make love to you right now.

Okay, wait.

I actually can't believe I'm about to say this,

but, um,

okay.

Mmm.

Ready to go? - Yeah.

Okay.

So you've been keeping

some pretty late hours lately, haven't you?

Well, I am trying

to get all the accounts straightened out,

and I've acquired a few new clients since the convention.

I'm not really used to seeing you home early.

Well, baby, I've been working on that.

- Oh, really? - Yes, I have.

That's good, I guess.

You guess.

So what are we doing for dinner?

What are we eating?

Well, I grabbed something on the way coming home.

I'm exhausted. I'm going to go upstairs

and wash this whole day off of me.

Are you going to be joining me in the bed?

Or are you going to be sleeping on the couch again?

Oh, yeah, that's what I thought.

All right, here you go.

Thanks, Manny.

Hey, boss lady, is everything okay?

You didn't make it back for closing last night.

Yeah, yeah. Everything's fine.

I was just meeting with some new clients.

Okay. I'm just checking in,

since your car was still in the parking lot

before I left last night.

Keep it safe.

I will, Manny, don't worry.

- Okay. - Thanks.

Hmm. - Hmm?

You know that I'm a married woman, right?

Yeah.

Let me ask you this, Stephanie.

Mm-hmm.

Would you be here with me right now

if things were right in your marriage?

I don't know,

maybe not.

Maybe I shouldn't even ask this,

but I'm curious.

Are you married?

My marriage ended a long time ago, baby.

What does that even mean?

That means...

I want you,

and there's no place on Earth I'd rather be

than right here with you right now.

Yeah.

I want to enjoy this little bit of time we have

before I have to go back to my reality,

and you have to go home again.

How long are you going to be gone?

For a few days.

I won't be gone long, girl.

I won't be able to stay away from you.

Come here.

Yeah.

Where the hell have you been?

Mason, please. I'm tired.

I don't want to do this right now.

Really?

Can you at least answer my damn question?

I'd really appreciate that.

Okay. I would appreciate you answering a lot of my questions,

but I don't get that now, do I?

I'm going to shower, and I'm going to go to bed.

No, look, you keep acting like this,

you're gonna make me say some sh...

I'm gonna regret, all right?

Well, you've said and done plenty

that you should regret, Mason.

All right. Good, cool.

Regret it all you want.

Because you know what? I'm just saying,

should I be worried that she don't want to tell me

where she's going?

I'm saying, if I'm trippin, tell me,

because I can have her followed. You know what I mean?

As a matter of fact, hold up.

You ain't never worried about where your husband at

every time you laid up in here with me?

Babe, what's gotten into you?

Why are you worried about this right now?

He's out of town, which is exactly where I want him to be,

so that I can be here with you right now.

I'm not worried about what he's doing

and where he is. I don't care.

Come over here.

I'm just saying, I do feel kind of wrong

sleeping in another man's bed.

Oh, my God, technically, we're not sleeping.

Okay? We haven't slept together in months.

We don't even sleep in the same room.

He sleeps down the hall. Okay?

As far as I'm concerned, this is my bed,

and your bed. - Oh, no. That is his bed.

And this is definitely his damn house.

Are you crazy?

Do we have to talk about this right now?

- I'm just saying. - Next time we can go

back to the hotel if that makes you feel better.

Okay? - You know,

we ain't got to go to no hotel,

because I ain't gonna lie,

it is kind of adventurous, you know?

I knew you would like it.

It's living on the edge, baby.

And plus, it gets me so excited.

Oh, you excited?

♪ I guess it's no secret

♪ That I want you again

♪ When I look in your eyes ♪

♪ I can see past your disguise ♪

♪ If it's all right with you ♪

Hello? Hi.

Yes, I'd like to make an appointment.

Hi. - Welcome, Stephanie.

- Thanks. - Have a seat.

Let's talk.

So, what brings you in today?

I just felt like I needed someone to talk to.

And I saw your commercial. So here I am.

Well, welcome. Welcome again.

So, tell me what's going on.

Well, I have recently stepped outside of my marriage,

and I just...

I felt like I needed someone to talk to about that.

And what do you feel like your greatest issue is?

I just don't feel good about myself

when my husband looks at me.

He used to look at me with so much passion,

and now I feel like he just doesn't find me

attractive at all.

I don't know.

Maybe I'm not sexy enough for him anymore.

Maybe I'm just too plain.

But I've done everything that I can do

to try to get his attention, and nothing has worked.

I don't know what I did.

I don't know if it's maybe...

I've probably gained a few pounds since we first met.

But my husband won't touch me anymore,

and it's been a couple of months.

You know what?

If I had a dime for every single time I've heard this

from a beautiful black woman.

I want you to know,

you are a beautiful black queen,

And you deserve to feel like one every single day.

Thank you.

I just feel like he keeps searching

for something that I'm doing wrong.

And I just feel like nothing is ever good enough.

Well, maybe he's the one that needs psychotherapy.

Yeah, that's not a bad idea.

Maybe he can come with me someday.

Do you even do couples therapy?

Yes, I do, actually.

But I think we should focus on you first.

And then if you feel like,

down the line, you wanna bring him in,

we'll discuss it then.

Do you think he would even be open to coming in?

I don't know. I'm not sure.

But like you said, we can wait a while for that,

and it'll give me some time to kind of feel him out.

Okay, that sounds good.

So...

let's talk more about you.

I really needed this,

just to be next to you.

Me, too.

You can have me all night if you want me.

I love the way you touch me.

I love touching you.

- Steven. - Yeah.

Do you touch other women the way you touch me?

Hell no.

There's nobody like you.

So tell me about this man that you've been seeing.

Do I have to tell you his name?

No, not at all.

I would actually prefer if you didn't.

- Okay. - This is about you, not him.

How does he make you feel?

Like a sexy woman.

In what way?

Not only does he make me feel sexy,

he encourages me to wanna be better.

Do better.

I just... I've never had a man admire my brains

the way that he does.

You know, he, um, supports my ideas and my efforts.

He doesn't try to compete with me.

Hmm? Tell me more.

He, um...

caresses my body

like no man has ever...

done.

My husband hasn't touched me in so long.

I've forgotten what his touch even feels like.

Hmm.

He talks to me.

He cares about how I feel.

He doesn't just blow me off.

When I'm with my husband, I just... I feel alone.

So, this is refreshing to feel this way.

Dr. Moore?

Dr. Moore.

I'm sorry.

Um, yes.

Um, do you think that your husband

can make you feel this way?

Yeah, I think he can, if he wants.

He used to.

It's certainly gonna take some work.

But if you think there's still hope for you,

I'll do what I can to help you fix it.

Are you willing to give up this other man?

Mmm... yes.

Um, Eventually.

But I'm just having so much fun.

To be honest, I am, um,

I'm not ready to give him up yet.

It's like a, uh,

it's almost like an addiction.

If you want this to work with your husband,

you're gonna have to give up the other man.

And the addiction.

Steven.

Yeah.

I think we may need to slow things down.

What?

Why would you think that?

Aren't you enjoying us?

Yes, I am.

But I'm busy with work,

and I need to focus on my projects.

You're worried that he's gonna find out,

aren't you?

Well...

yes, I feel like he is suspecting

and trying to figure things out.

I've never been in anything like this before,

and I'm starting to feel a little bit guilty.

And this is the first time

I've ever done anything like this.

And, um...

I don't know.

I feel like I could control my feelings

in the beginning of this,

but I'm not quite sure anymore.

Wow.

Why in the world would you think

that you could do something like that?

Steven.

You know I'm irresistible, girl.

All jokes aside...

I'm really falling for you, Stephanie.

Are you?

Girl, you got me fiending.

You're always doing too much.

Hi, this is Stephanie.

Sorry I missed...

Hey, baby.

- Hi. - Hi.

Sorry I'm late.

Had some stuff I had to finish up at the office.

- Is that right? - Yeah.

Business seems to be picking up.

Hey, you know.

I ordered your favorite.

Oh, well, you always did know what I like.

I try.

So, what brought this on?

Brought what on?

Uh, dinner.

Us going out to eat.

What's the motive?

I need a reason to ask my husband out to dinner?

I need a motive?

No, you don't.

But usually there is motive.

No motive.

Okay.

All right, then.

Well...

uh...

this is safe, right?

Very funny.

I'm just joking, Max.

Come on, baby. Lighten up.

Hello, Steven.

Hey, Miranda. How you doing?

- Good. - Right, yeah.

Fancy running into you here.

Yeah, yeah, I'm meeting my friend

for drinks and dinner.

- Okay. - Your friend

or your new husband?

And where is he?

Uh, Miranda,

this is my lovely wife, Maxine.

Oh, my gosh!

I recognize you.

I love your commercial.

Wait, hold on.

Come see me. Let's talk.

That was good, right? That was good.

Thank you. Pleasure.

So you're the new assistant?

Yes, I am the assistant.

Well, it was nice to meet you, Maxine.

Okay, uh, I better go. My friend's waiting.

I'll see you at the office.

Uh, thanks for speaking, Miranda.

Uh, yeah, see you tomorrow at the office.

Enjoy your evening.

Mm, so good.

Yeah.

Um, and that was so rude.

You think so?

Oh, baby, you didn't have to do that girl like that.

Why? - I thought I was being nice.

So, how was your day, boo?

Hey, you startled me.

I didn't see you sitting there.

Uh, my day was great.

Well, were you working today?

I mean, at the office.

'Cause I called over there a few times,

and I couldn't reach you.

Yeah, I was there.

Maybe the reception just was bad.

Well, that's strange, 'cause I came by there.

And you weren't there.

They said you had left for the day.

I was there earlier in the day,

and then I ended up leaving.

I had to go meet with a new client.

She's a wedding planner.

Okay. That's good.

Yeah.

But I was talking to Manny.

He said he didn't know anything about a new client.

So, yeah.

Well, I don't always tell Manny everything, babe.

He manages the store and the warehouse,

not the business.

Are you hungry?

- I am hungry. - Okay.

I'm gonna get started on dinner.

- Yeah. - Okay.

You should definitely do that.

So, are you ready for your husband

to come to the sessions?

Um, we can try it and see what happens.

I think the time has come.

Okay.

Then we'll both be in the next session

if I can convince him to come.

Well, if... you know,

I can always meet you at a neutral place,

if it makes it a little easier for you.

Yeah, that might be better for him.

But do you do house calls?

Look, I know that sounds really cliche.

I don't often,

but I can for his initial visit,

just to ease him into the sessions.

Yeah, I think that would be best.

Okay.

And you know what?

It might be better for us to meet at my store.

I mean, it's gonna be closer to you,

given the fact that you're going out of your way for us.

Okay, that sounds great.

- All right. - All right.

And in the meantime,

I need you to start breaking ties with that other man

so we can get you back into a healthy relationship.

Okay.

Only you can change things for you,

Don't you think?

Yes, I know, Dr. Moore.

- Okay. - Bye.

Thank you. - Okay.

Thank you, baby, for doing this.

Oh, she's here.

Come in.

Hey, boss lady, your appointment's here.

Yes. Thank you, Manny.

- Hi. - Hi.

Good to see you. How are you?

Good to see you. Good.

Uh, Dr. Moore, this is my husband, Mason.

Um...

Mason.

Um, yes, Mason.

It's a pleasure to meet you for the first time.

I've heard so much about you,

but not your name.

I didn't know your name.

Mason Kendall?

No, no, no. Mason-Mason McKinney.

Mason.

I didn't know your husband's name.

Mason McKinney. - Yeah.

Got it.

Okay. Of course. Of course it is.

Well, we said no names initially, right?

We did say that, yes.

Well, why don't you have a seat up here?

Okay. Thank you.

Of course.

Wow.

Um, are you okay?

Do you need any water or anything?

I am fine.

And no, nothing to drink.

I'm just a little, um...

I'm sorry.

Um, Dr. Moore, right? Is it?

When my wife said that we would be seeing a doctor.

I just assumed that it would be a man.

I don't-I don't know why.

Well, I didn't specify

because I know how you feel about female doctors,

and I didn't want you to judge before we, uh,

got a chance to meet her.

You have a problem with female doctors?

- Me? - Yeah.

Do I have a problem? Uh, no.

Well, he feels that female doctors

are not as competent as male doctors,

so he would never go to one. But...

Really?

That's a bit chauvinistic, don't you think?

First off, I didn't really say it exactly like that.

Well, that's exactly what you said, Mason.

I, um, I just feel...

Maybe I can change your mind.

I'm a psychotherapist.

Okay.

Then that means you're not really a doctor then, are you?

I'm a counselor.

I'm a psychotherapist.

I'm a doctor.

Uh, can we just-can we just get started?

Um, yes, of course.

All right, so from my initial observation,

I can see that you are the problem.

What?

I'm sorry.

You have a problem with women.

Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa.

So you're trying to say that I got a problem?

Apparently, you have a problem caressing

and touching your wife.

Why isn't your wife getting the pleasure that she deserves?

Why? - Well, Dr. Moore,

I thought we were gonna take this slow.

Well, why not just dig right into the issues

and face 'em head on?

Look, I, um, I gotta be honest.

I-I wasn't expecting all this.

Well, neither was I, Mason.

Well...

you two are married.

Yet, she feels alone.

And she feels disrespected.

But more than that, she feels deceived.

Why is that, Mason?

Why do you think that is?

Who are you really?

Please explain why a woman would feel alone

when they think they have a bond with you

And that you love them.

Don't you think I... she...

she deserves more than that?

Well, I think my time is up here.

We have a lot to think about.

That was a very enlightening session.

Don't you think?

I think so.

So we'll meet next week, um, at my office.

Great.

Um, I will walk you out, Dr Moore.

- All right. - Thank you for coming.

- Oh, you're so welcome. - Yeah.

Thank you. - Bye. Take care.

- Whatever, man. - Why are you... Why?

'Cause you ain't never tell me

you were seeing no damn counselor,

psychotherapist, doctor, whatever the hell she is.

I did tell you that I was seeing a doctor,

but that's just another thing you didn't pay attention to.

Whatever.

So how long you been seeing her?

- A couple months. - Couple months.

So why is it the first time that I'm hearing about it?

First of all, it's not.

And secondly, I needed to do this for me.

Why are you so upset?

I'm upset because you are my wife, Stephanie.

I should know about things like this.

Well, I finally got your attention.

You got my attention because you humiliated me.

How did I humiliate you?

Telling that lady all my personal business and shit.

Saying I don't like doctors and female doctors.

What are you talking about?

- What? You don't. - You know what?

I ain't got time for this shit.

I gotta go. I'm going to the studio.

Okay, Mason...

I thought that this would be good for us.

It wasn't.

Mason.

What the hell are you doing?

So that was the little missus, huh?

Well, aren't you two just full of surprises.

So what the hell was all that about earlier, huh?

What was what about?

All the questions.

The damn interrogation.

Well, I couldn't let on that I knew who you were,

could I?

She had no clue.

Especially with all your line of questions

and the damn maltreatment you gave me.

Well, you were the one who said that

you didn't like female doctors, so I had no choice.

You had a choice.

Trust me.

No, I didn't.

You were exhibiting misogynistic behavior.

Hey.

And misogynistic behavior is bad behavior, right?

All right, look... hey.

And bad behavior deserves to be punished.

Look, first off, I ain't no damn misogynist.

All right?

And second, you know what?

I'm not coming to your office next week

'cause I'm over this shit.

You're doing too much. - Shut up.

- Hey. - Now sit down.

What's wrong with you?

You are gonna do what I tell you to do.

Because if you don't, she's gonna get suspicious.

And I know you don't want that, do you?

I didn't think so.

- Hello? - I really miss you.

Steven, I'm a little busy.

Well, when are you going to get un-busy

so that I can see you?

Can I-Can I... Can I Facetime you?

Steven, I am busy with house stuff and work.

Okay?

Stephanie, it's called life.

Life be life-in'.

I mean, we have to make time for what's important for us,

right?

Listen, don't push me away.

I'm really invested in you, personally and professionally.

You got me, girl.

I've got to go.

Stephanie, hold on. Don't-don't hang up.

I-I just want to tell you I'm-I'm, like, I'm,

you know, catching feelings and things, girl.

You know, I think, you know, I think, uh,

I think I kind of love you.

You know?

Sorry, Steven, but I've gotta go, okay?

I need to focus on my marriage.

You need to what?

Come on, baby.

Damn.

So, how was your week?

Well...

you don't mind if I share our intimate details, do you?

I'd actually rather that you didn't, but...

Oh, come on, please share.

We made love last night.

And the night before.

And the night before that.

We haven't done that in quite a while.

And it was magical all three times.

- Magical? - Mm-hmm.

Well, isn't that wonderful?

We seem to be making progress here.

That's a start,

given that he hasn't touched me like that in a very long time.

Let's dig deeper into those feelings.

Let's not.

Can we just talk about something else?

I mean, anything else besides my damn intimacy.

Please. - Yeah. Yes, we can.

We can move on to other topics,

but we're making progress here, Mason.

So let's talk about it.

Let's talk about how it feels to touch your wife

after not touching her for so long.

No, no, let's move on.

Please. - No, Let's not.

Yeah.

Can we change the subject so that he's not uncomfortable

with us talking about our private moments?

Thank you.

You know what?

Since you two are rebuilding your intimacy,

along with that, you should be building trust.

So I think we should use the rest of the session

for confession.

In order to move forward,

if anyone here has anything

that they would like to confess,

you can do so right now.

Yeah, I don't know about that.

Yeah, I don't think that's a good idea.

It's part of the process.

Well, I don't think that we're ready for that process yet.

I think you are.

So let's confess.

- No. - No.

Well, then I guess we're done for today.

That was quick.

Well, thank you, Dr. Moore.

We'll see you next week.

So you sleepin' with her now?

Max, she is my wife.

What did you think I was gonna do?

Plus, you the one that advised her

to have sex with me in the first place.

Yeah, but I didn't think you were gonna fall for it.

What did you think was going to happen?

You told her to dress in sexy lingerie and to seduce me.

How do you not think I was gonna fall for it?

What was I supposed to do?

Push her away.

When I told her those things,

I didn't even realize that it was even you

that we were talking about.

Well, look, the whole point of us coming to see you

was to improve our marriage, right?

And plus, that's what you say.

Oh, it's all part of the process.

So it's actually your damn fault.

I mean, and if you can't handle it,

just tell her you're not gonna counsel her no more.

It's that simple. - I can handle it.

All right, then.

And besides, next week is confession week.

Oh, I don't care. I'm not coming.

Why not? Are you afraid of what you might find out?

Hell, yeah. I'm not trying to do all that.

Mason, you don't need her, baby.

You have me.

All right, all right, Max, listen.

- You don't. I'm here. - Look, I gotta go.

Where? Where are you going?

- Home. - Why?

I told you, I had to go home for dinner.

Don't do this. - You just got here.

You just got here. Look, Mason...

Stop!

Look, we already established... hey, stop!

- What? Mason... - Grow up, okay?

I told you I was going back home with my wife.

Stop playing. I gotta go. Damn.

You're not gonna leave me like this?

Mason!

Don't leave me!

Oh...

you're by yourself today.

Yes, Mason had to work late.

Work late?

You sure he's not just playing the avoidance game?

Maybe.

You know, I'm curious about something.

What's that?

Why do you and your husband have different last names?

Hmm...

well, I kept my maiden last name

because that's what people knew me as

in my real estate and family business.

But legally, I took his name.

Okay, yeah.

I did the same thing for my practice, so...

I didn't want anyone knowing where my office was.

Especially since I've had a couple of stalkers.

- Ooh, scary. - Very.

But, you know, I do what I can to protect myself.

So, what do you wanna talk about today?

Well, I have a feeling that my husband is cheating.

Why do you think that?

You know, I've been suspecting it

for quite a while.

But I found this earring in his shirt pocket,

and it's not mine.

It just could be someone's from work.

No, I don't think so.

They don't make enough money to afford jewelry like this.

That could be in your mind,

since it's something that you're doing.

Maybe so, but I am not seeing my lover anymore.

I broke it off.

Oh, okay.

That's good. - Mm.

When did this happen?

About a week or so ago.

And why didn't you mention it?

Just wasn't the right time.

How are you feeling?

You know, at first, I missed the attention,

but Mason has been working really, really hard

to make things work.

- Oh, has he? - He has.

And thank you so much for getting us right back on track.

Oh, bless you.

Received.

So we still need to dig deeper into your relationship.

I think that we've dug deep enough.

Well, things can change.

You think so?

Oh, yes.

Right before your eyes.

Okay.

So, I guess I'll be seeing you next week?

I think so.

I'll give you a call just to be sure.

- Okay. - Okay.

Oh, and did I mention that he had a distinct smell

on his shirt?

Good day, Dr. Moore.

Do you suspect that she thinks that you're having an affair?

Who?

My wife, Stephanie? - Yeah.

No.

Stephanie can be a little naive

when it comes to me and other women, you know.

And plus, I already got her conditioned.

So, yeah, we're good.

Really, Mason?

You're sleeping with another woman,

and you don't think she can feel that?

No.

Well, maybe she's just acting like she doesn't know.

- Oh, yeah? - Mm-hmm.

That's what you think?

Yeah, that's what I think.

If that's the case...

Ooh, yeah.

We gonna have to cut all of this off.

'Cause she can't know about none of this shit.

Then you and me would be done.

'Cause if she does...

she would definitely leave my ass,

and I can't have that.

Why?

What do you mean, why?

Because I love my wife, Max. You know that.

I'm not gonna lose her.

And I'm not gonna lose you.

I'll handle this next week, in our next session.

Okay?

Listen, everything's gonna be fine.

All right?

- Yeah? - So... yeah.

Come on over here.

Come in.

- Steven. - Yes.

Can I get you to sign off on

the Stephanie Kendall account?

This is huge.

Seems like a lot for just a marketing campaign.

Yeah, but she's the first of our VIP platinum clients.

So, please get it done.

Uh, you didn't ask for a deposit?

No.

I'm covering the costs.

This is quite an investment.

Yeah.

But no risk, no reward.

No guts, no glory.

Go big...

or go home. - Go home.

- Yeah, you getting it, girl. - Okay. All right.

Yeah, all right.

So, take care of it, okay? - Okay.

I'll also take care of the banking information as well.

And I'll need your approval for the fund transfer.

Okay, fine.

I told you that we're covering all the costs.

We're covering everything. All right?

Okay? So, just get it done.

Um, I gotta take care of some personal business in the valley,

so I'm not gonna be able to make it back

to this side of town before closing time.

So, it's on you.

Okay, no problem. Go big or go home.

That's right! You're learning.

Yeah!

Um, just, uh, drop the documents in the file cabinet

and, uh, lock everything up.

I'll review it later.

- Will do. - All right.

Yeah.

Why are you doing that?

All right, boss, see you soon.

Thanks, Manny.

Babe, why would you say that about me?

He's a good guy. Don't you think so?

He is. I love Manny.

I love this color on you, too.

Hey, whoa!

Might wanna watch where you going.

Oh, yeah, my bad. Maybe I should.

And next time, you should watch where you going.

Maybe I shouldn't watch anything,

because this is my store.

So maybe you should watch where you're going, pal.

Oh, okay. So you the boss, huh?

- Yeah. - Yeah.

All right, well, word of advice.

You should watch your wife.

You know this clown?

He's a client, Mason.

Oh, well, maybe your clients should know their place.

- I know my place. - Yeah.

And how she tastes.

Wait, what you say, big man?

Speak up, big man!

I said, she has impeccable taste.

That's what I said.

You got impeccable taste.

Some guys have all the luck.

Maybe you should be paying more attention to her.

Steven, I'll be right back with you, okay?

Just...

You know what?

I'll come back when you're not occupied.

She gonna be occupied.

Yeah, all right.

Just relax. He's a high maintenance client.

I don't... maybe he's having a bad day.

I don't like it.

You don't like what?

I don't like that.

See you later. - Okay.

- All right? - Yeah.

Steven, what are you doing here?

Stephanie, I couldn't take it anymore.

I had to see you, baby.

I am working.

Okay.

All right, that's fine.

Was that your husband?

Yes.

What was he doing here?

Why wouldn't he be here?

What do you mean, why wouldn't he...

You-you said it was over, Stephanie.

Steven, you need to go.

Okay?

We're working it out.

I already told you that. You need to leave.

I don't wanna hear that, Stephanie.

I love you.

I love you, baby.

I love you. - Steven, Steven, stop.

You need to go. - Oh, please, baby, no.

I've never loved a woman the way that I love you.

Baby, please. - Steven.

I need you and I know you still love me.

Stephanie, please, I need you, baby.

- You're hurting me! - I'm not trying to hurt you.

I'm trying to love you, girl.

I know you still have feelings for me.

- Steven, get off of me! - Hey! Hey.

Is everything all right here, boss lady?

Yes. He's leaving.

Yeah.

We fine.

I'm leaving.

Okay, that's right. I think she said

you're just leaving, if I'm not mistaken.

Yeah, that's what she said. I'm leaving.

- I'm happy to help... - All right, excuse me.

Excuse me. I ain't got no problems.

You okay?

Yeah, I'm fine, Manny.

I told you, keep it safe.

I know, and I will, and it's over.

It's done.

- Yeah, I know it is. - Yeah.

Come here.

You're okay now, all right?

I got you.

I got you.

Manny...

what were you actually gonna do with this box cutter?

Well, you know, I'm Latino,

so I'm pretty good with a knife.

- Manny... - But, you know,

we're just lucky he didn't stick around to find out.

That's all I'm saying.

My dad said for you to protect me, not kill someone.

I... what do you think I was doing?

I came in here... I heard...

I think you were gonna kill him.

No, your dad said to protect you,

so I'm always gonna get you back, okay?

I got you. All right?

Manny, thank you so much. You're the best.

Seriously.

I'm just right outside.

- Thank you. - Yeah.

Okay, when have I ever missed a deadline?

Yeah, okay. Well, let me fix it.

Just give me a chance. I can fix it.

Look, just let me resubmit it, all right?

I-I... Raj, I need this account, man.

Raj.

Damn!

Good morning, lover.

Hey.

So, I decided to break it off with my husband...

so that we can be together.

Max, the hell are you talking about?

You know I'm not leaving my wife.

What?

I thought you loved me.

I love my wife.

You know that.

I mean, I care about you a whole lot,

but I've never said that I loved you.

Let's not do this right now.

Well, you can best believe that I'll be telling your wife

all about us. - Really?

- Really. - That's what you gonna do?

Oh, that's what I'm gonna do.

As a matter of fact,

she has a session already booked with me today,

and I think I'll tell her then.

My wife booked another session with you?

She sure did.

I knew she still needed me.

She ain't told me about no damn session.

Well, I think there's a lot of secrets

that your wife has that you don't know about.

- Oh, yeah? - Yeah.

What is that supposed to mean?

Oh, no, no, no, no, no, no, no.

Rule number one.

Never discuss your client's personal private information.

Yeah.

What happens in my sessions...

stay in my sessions.

That's doctor-patient confidentiality.

You know, I do have morals.

So now, all of a sudden, you got morals.

Now, all of a sudden, you're professional.

You got morals, all of a sudden?

- Yeah. - You gotta be kidding me.

I mean, she's my client.

I think she deserves to know the truth, don't you?

Well, technically, I'm your client, too.

So that means that you can't speak

on none of the shit that we do.

It's not your job.

Your job is to sit down.

Shut up. Listen.

Don't tell me how to run my practice.

Max, stop playing with me.

I got a lot of shit to do, man.

You know what? You need to go.

- Mason. - Come on, let's go.

Mason, no.

You know... you know you want it.

- Let's go. - Mason.

No, Max, I don't have time for this shit.

Mason, you know you want me.

Listen, let's go. Come on.

Let's go.

You're gonna regret this.

Stephanie.

Babe!

- So, no Mason again today. - Nope, it's just me.

He's done with you.

So today will be your last and final session, right?

Yep.

Me and my husband are gonna be just fine.

You think so?

Yes. Yes, I do.

Well, your husband is a cheater,

just like you.

You're just the slut that he chose this time.

But you gotta know Dr. Moore, you're not the first.

Well, I may not be the first, but I'm definitely the last.

I know that Mason loves me.

Believe that if you want to with your crazy ass.

Mason will never love a woman but me.

I'm the only woman willing to put up with his cheatin' ass.

You have to have seen the pattern, Dr. Moore.

"Come see me. Let's talk,"

is the biggest load of crap ever.

What?

You know, I thought it was gonna be hard

to get your husband to fall.

Steven?

But he's so far gone that he fell for me instantly.

- What? - Weak-minded little bitch.

You know, by the way,

you should check your bank account.

I'll give you a minute.

Yeah, you both are just so pitiful.

- This isn't happening. - Oh, it's happening.

You didn't think I didn't know

the minute that I saw your commercial?

And I know the women that he goes after.

Oh, thank goodness he goes after the ones with money.

If I ever get a whiff of you around my husband again,

I'll be sure to take that house

you screwed him in.

My husband has a role to play.

- Ah! - And I don't need

no psycho ass bitch messing with his head.

Oh, Mason! - Mason.

- She just tried to kill me! - What the hell are you doing?

She's crazy! She's crazy!

She's the one that attacked me.

She tried to kill me. - What the hell did you do?

You're lying!

No, she's the one that's crazy, not me.

- Baby, she's lying. - She-she doesn't love you.

It's you, you crazy bitch!

She's using you. Mason, listen to me.

- Move! Back up! - Listen...

Stay away from me and my wife.

She's crazy.

You have to trust me. Believe me.

- Hey. - Hey.

Your bonus cut. - Thank you.

And the rest is already in your new account.

You think Mason suspects anything?

Clueless as always.

You know that man can't see anything past his own nose.

Besides, he was too busy trying to save his helpless wife

from that psycho ass bitch.

Oh, my God.

Don't look at me like that.

What? I had to make it as believable as possible.

Yeah, well, I don't think he'll be cheating for a while.

Yeah, looks like it.

It was a pleasure taking that rude bitch's money.

Well, you think you're gonna be keeping him around?

Of course.

You know that I gotta keep up with appearances, right?

And every one of our friends

think that we're the perfect couple.

I mean, and he's not too bad in bed.

- Okay. - I don't know.

I think I like where I'm at

and playing with all these bitches' money.

Mmm!

But until then, how is my investor, Steven?

Girl, what in the hell did you do to that man?

He acts like he can't function without you.

Baby, that was the easiest money ever.

- Wasn't it? - Yes.

Oh, poor baby.

When are you heading out of town?

Oh, tonight.

Yeah, I'll be back when the smoke clears.

All right. Well, my beautiful cousin,

I'll see you in the turnaround.

But, you know when all this is said and done,

I'm gonna need a vacation.

Yeah.

When I wrap all these things up.

You know how we do. - Mmm, yeah.

Keep it cute. Keep it light.

Keep it cute, baby.

- Love you. - Love you.

This is heavy.

Heavy. - Oh, yeah, you know it.

Take that bag, girl.
