I see this concert
as an opportunity

to make up for the past

and everything else
that happened.

Now, you--

you brought that
horrible woman into our lives.

Protect this family

and do something to stop her.

Kissing Aunt Pamela
for dad's benefit?

Honey, Pam and I
were just having fun.

Why are you so upset?

That kiss is
a slap in the face to women

who actually love other women.

I heard about her blaming you
for Laura Peterson's accident.

What?

I deny vehemently
whatever you're implying.

You're gonna
rot in hell for this, Dana.

Right after you spend 20 years
behind bars.

There's something
about the Cassandra bag.

Have we gone
into production yet?

The calendar says we have
a few days before we finalize.

Show me the design.

How's it sitting with you, hmm?

It's giving
what it needs to give.

Why, what do you think
needs fixing?

Uh, expand the width here

and deepen it to allow

for some hidden pockets.

That way she goes
from the office

to the sleepovers
to the islands.

And look how she stays so slim.

Flexible, adaptable.

-Inspirational.
-Mm-hmm.

Okay. Nail down the numbers

and I'll have them
update the specs.

Oh, the Three by Five awards
are coming up.

You invited?

I'm thinking
marketing here, Kat.

Isn't Lucia Johnston
up for best picture?

Yeah, they're saying it's hers.

No question.

Well, I knew her
when she was Lucinda.

She owes me one.

You are so good at this.

The designs,
the social media aspect.

Yeah, if only the rest
of my life was that easy.

Uh-oh. What happened?

I struck out
with somebody last night.

But no biggie.

It happens to all of us.

Well, at least I'm not alone.

Tomas, what a surprise.

Hey, baby.
You feeling all right?

Never better.

Will you be joining us tonight

at the Highersal gala as well?

I was just leaving.

Uh, after you share
what you learned

from spying
on that committee meeting.

Hey, my wife and I
have no secrets, Tomas.

She's been very vocal
about this assignment and, uh,

she does not approve.

I delayed dinner.

Would you like a cocktail?

Not until we finish this.

I don't know what you want
from me, Tracy.

I can't undo the past

or change it to make myself
a nicer person

than I was back then.

All I can do

is own my ambition

and what I was willing
to sacrifice to reach my goals.

What sacrifice?

You walked away from our group

to even more success
on your own.

Married Vernon Dupree,
made a beautiful family

full of type-A personalities
making

their own marks in the world.

And here you are,
sitting on high in your palace.

Go 'head on,
Queen of Cabrini Green,

tell me
all about your sacrifices.

My life might look easy to you,

but you have no idea
of the obstacles

I've had to overcome.

VERNON: Ladies,
I've brought Orphey Gene's

hush puppies

and their last chocolate pie.

I don't want to hear
anything about diets,

or "I couldn't possibly"

because this is a celebration.

Or not.

I'm not hungry.

I couldn't possibly.

Is there...

anything I can do
to help things along?

Well, you know how it gets
when you start

strolling down memory lane.

Run into land mines,

unexpected things
hidden under rocks.

I won't pretend to understand
all the complications of...

patching things up
after so much time.

But I do know how much
Anita missed you, Tracy.

And I remember how much
you two loved each other.

That's got to be worth
something, yes?

I'll put this in the kitchen.

For when you're ready.

We all made sacrifices.

We all wanted the same things
for ourselves and each other.

Or that's what I thought.

Tracy, we were
practically children.

Making life-changing decisions,

navigating things
we only dreamed of.

That's how you get yourself
to sleep at night?

I knew you had to be
weaving some pretty stories

to help shield yourself
from the awful truth.

Thank you so much
for coming, Tracy.

I do appreciate the time
that we've spent together,

catching up.

And I'll happily
pay for your trip home.

Bringing up the reunion concert

was a mistake, a pipe dream.

And I...

sincerely apologize

for even bringing it up.

♪ ♪

-So what's up?
-Well, Tyrell and I have

some homework due
in the same classes tomorrow.

I thought he could help me
with a few things.

He's so smart.

So are you.

I knew that the moment
that I realized

that you like my brother.

-Tyrell--
-Oh, wait, wait.

Not yet.

I'm glad I ran into you first.

Samantha, I need your help.

Sorry about that.

You know how it is
when duty calls.

How many more calls are
you gonna take to put this off?

None.

I'm all yours.

And now you have nothing to say.

What happened to us, Smitty?

We used to be the envy
of all of our friends.

Kings of communication.

Once the kids came,
we couldn't...

commiserate over dinner or...

leave racy love notes
around the house.

You wrote
the most incredible letters.

Write me one now.

-Here?
-What is

the one thing
you've been dying to tell me?

That I love you.

And...

you mean the world to me.

And I wish that I made you
as happy as you make me.

You do.

Never doubt that.

Then believe me when I tell you
that whatever this is,

we can get through it.

Together.

You're making me nervous, love.

What's the problem?

Bill Hamilton.

Now you tell me.

Allison was everything.
She was smart and fun

and-and sexy and on fire.

And...

I told her that.

I put myself out there and, oh!

Somebody just kill me.

If I had to list my top five
most humiliating moments,

this would be one through three.

I'm so sorry, Chels.

I tried to play it cool...

But inside, you wanted
the ground to open up

and swallow you whole.

Yeah. I really thought it was

something real.

And I even told Mom about her.

And the grands.

Whoa. This really is a big deal.

How did Aunt Dani respond?

You know my mom.

She's ready to go nuclear

when she's backed into a corner.

But when it's
something serious like this--

with us, her girls--

she's soft as a petal.

And ready to be
the face of allyship.

And I'm guessing Gran
and Granddad were cool?

They were so sweet on the phone.

But this isn't the first time

someone that they love
has come out to them.

For sure.

The whole family was nothing

but supportive
when it came to my brother.

Welcomed Smitty with open arms.

I legit think they would have
worn rainbow suits

to the wedding
if Martin allowed it.

[laughs]

And that's love, coz.

[sighs] And...

that's what I thought it was
with Allison.

But come to find out, I was just

something fun to do
on couples' night.

No, ma'am.

Stop right now.

You are so much more than that.

Well, not to Allison and Craig.

I was just the spice,
not the main ingredient.

I thought we had a real

three-way mutual connection,

but I was wrong.

Well, what about your dad?

Did you talk to him?

He misread the room

and thought that my mom and I
were getting into it last night.

Tried to butt in,
but I curved him.

I was really upset
about Allison.

And I just didn't have
the capacity

for yet another opinion.

And I know, I know.

I should talk to him.

You know what?

Regardless of what happened,

I am so proud of you, Chels.

You took a chance.

You risked your heart.

Yeah, and it got handed
back to me.

There is nothing wrong
with wanting

or wanting more.

And Allison wasn't the one,
okay,

but that doesn't mean
you should stop

looking for the right match.

Well, look at the virgin.

[Kat snickers]

Does this mean
that there's a status change

with you and Tomas?

[sighs] I tried
to tell him about Eva

and her insane mother.

How they are dangerous

and should be
under police surveillance.

And Tomas acted
like I was the bad guy.

Like my father's love child

is some poor,
misunderstood foundling.

Uh-uh, Tomas.

Sit down, you just got here.

Is he even allowed to have
an opinion yet?

I don't care how cute he is.

He doesn't get to tell me
how to feel about Eva.

Yeah, and what's worse
is that he's right.

But you already know
that deep down inside.

Is... is what?

Eva is your half sister.

And my half cousin.

Hmm. Okay.

Do you want to join Tomas
on my dead-to-me list?

'Cause there's an opening.

Why would you tell Tomas
I disapprove

of his actions?

Well, because it's true.

And he needs to learn that it's
his job to keep me happy.

Remember whose name
is on that door.

Whatever you say goes.

Partner in the making.

And about those
unofficial minutes?

You'll have them by morning.

Within the hour.

Have a good night, Tomas.

-What?
-[scoffs]

There's nothing wrong with
keeping the man on his toes.

Listen, babe, there are
necessary evils in this world,

and putting Tomas on
that committee is one of them.

Like you always say,
the firm is your baby,

and you'll do anything
to protect what's yours.

You know, I actually love that
about you.

We were starting
to have a nice moment

after all of that tension
earlier.

And you bring up Bill Hamilton?

He's not
my favorite topic either,

after what he did to Dani.

Yet you chose to insert him.

Why?

It must be really important.

This is a good time
to remind you that I love you.

I don't like this.

Bill said something about you.

And it has me concerned.

Here I was, hoping you'd changed

into something new.

But no.

Same old Nita.

Just wrapped up
in your expensive trimmings.

Excuse me?

One note goes sour, you want
to toss out the whole song.

I'm sorry this was
a waste of time for both of us.

Not for me.

If what Vernon said is true...

...I missed you, too.

We were family once.

Closer.

For a time.

Did my heart good remembering

when we were
taking on the world.

I'm not sorry I came here.

We needed to talk.

Haven't scratched the surface.

But it doesn't matter.

If, if you're not interested
in the reunion concert,

there's no way
Sharon's gonna agree.

Is that how you reign supreme
in Fairmont Crest?

I mention one thing
about the past,

and you decree I'm dead set
against the concert.

Well, aren't you?

Is that
what we're doing here, Anita?

Tiptoeing around
what's really between us?

You said we needed to talk.

Well, let's do it.

Unless...

you're happy being haunted.

No one gets to be our age
without some drama

and strife.

What, you're saying you're
not afraid of what could happen

if you open certain doors?

I don't allow fear
to dictate my life.

I knew what I was stepping into

when I picked up that phone.

I'm not the problem.

If you can talk Sharon
into singing,

you've got yourself a reunion.

You think we can convince her?

You think you can?

Do you think he likes me?

Do you?

I mean, we always have
a good time together.

That's why I like him so much.

Tyrell makes me laugh.

And he's sweet and quirky

and easy to be around.

Not to mention cute.

You think my brother's cute?

Oh, for sure.

And sensitive.

I mean, the things he says
in English class,

whether we're discussing
the meaning of a phrase

or a passage in a book,

he's deep.

And he's almost
as fast at solving

math and chemistry problems
as me.

Oh, my God.

You really do like my brother.

Tell me it doesn't show.

I mean, at the pizza party
the other night,

it makes perfect sense,
the way that he got

all quiet and deep
after you showed up.

Tyrell is your brother, okay?

You know him better than anyone.

What do I do?

I mean,

I don't want to scare him off
by going too fast,

but I'd like to advance things
at least a little.

Unless you think
I should just be patient.

Let him decide.

If you're waiting for Tyrell
to make a move

or say something meaningful,

you'll die old and alone.

My advice to you.

If that's what you want...

Please?

...go for it.

Have you seen my calculator?

Jessica. Hey.

Hi, Tyrell.

If Jessica doesn't pull up
her "B" in physics,

her mom's gonna take her phone.

Then let's get to work.

Back with snacks.

I'm just saying.

Eva's my cousin, too.

By marriage.

Who you just met.

Who spied on your beloved aunt.

Tried to kill Laura
by running her off the road.

And then giving her
a heart attack.

Unsubstantiated.

Until I find the proof.

Bottom line,
Eva and Leslie did it.

And you want to know how I know?

They were the only two
who benefitted from it.

Look, Eva got mixed up
in doing some horrible things

to your family,

and your dad is trying to forge

a relationship in spite of it.

He's not ignoring
what she's done,

but he also isn't erasing
the fact that he is her father.

So, like it or not,
Eva's here to stay.

Oh, my God.

Hey, Kat, Chelsea.

Got a minute?

Take two.

They're short.

I love you.

Be nice.

You're having back-alley
meetings with Bill Hamilton?

The man who's caused chaos
to my entire family.

And you're concerned about me?

It's a lot to unpack.

I mean,
why would that leech even

talk to you about anything?

-Especially me?
-We are keeping this cool.

I'm chill.

Walk me through.

Bill summoned me
over to his place.

Why?

To remind me
that DC's a small town

built on favors and connections.

Typical Hamilton maneuver.

He's not in the family anymore,
but I'm still on the Hill

with the movers and shakers,

so he's keeping his hand in.

I'm sorry
he put you through that.

It sounded
like he knew something.

Dangerous.

He said

it's important for you and him

to stay on the same team.

What does that mean?

Bill said, "Don't worry,
Martin will understand."

Does he know something
about you that I don't?

DC's hottest reporter
got played by Bill Hamilton.

Come again?

He's a lawyer.

The expensive kind.

And you don't get
to the top of the heap

by being a nice guy.

Bill is highly skilled
in the courtroom.

No one can take that away
or argue that point.

But it's what Bill does
in the real world

that makes his name.

Bill pulls strings.

He makes news stories

appear and disappear.

Makes court cases go away.

Are you saying that...?

A hotshot reporter
can come in very handy.

Then why make
vague insinuations about you?

Bill gets off
on these mind games

by tipping the power
in his favor no matter what.

You've seen him in action.

But I never thought
he'd use it against me.

You're valuable

now that you're once again

a member of the esteemed press.

I don't know
whether to be disgusted or...

Be disgusted. Be disgusted.

Are you sure that's all this is?

Just a power move?

Ask Aunt Dani.

I don't know what
she ever saw in that snake.

But thank goodness

his child bride came along,

because now Bill
is Hayley's problem.

It's nice having you
to myself for a minute.

Yeah.

You know, I think
I'm just gonna have coffee.

I can stay ready for any
witty repartee at the gala.

There's always so much to do.

Well, babe, that's life
when you're married to DC's

most wanted attorney.

[sighs]

What if I'm tired
of attending galas,

having lawyers infringe
on dates with my husband?

Look, I joke,
but the firm isn't your child.

It doesn't deserve 100% of you.

Okay, what's this all about?

I try not to complain.

Mm-hmm.

The second wife gets less.

Everyone knows that.

Okay, hold on just a minute.

Well, look, I got 20% of
the gorgeous wedding we planned,

maybe 30% of the honeymoon
to Italy,

zero invitations

to exclusive parties
in the community.

Like I just don't measure up.

Babe, that's not true.

Well, it's all I hear.

Okay.

Look, you'll feel better

after we go to the gala,
all right?

Bill, I've been waiting

all day just to get you alone.

But I know
in five minutes your ex

or one of your daughters
or a client

can sweep in and take you away.

Baby, no one can take me away
from you, okay?

Well, what-what is this
anyway, huh?

All right, j-just relax.

Look, have a glass of wine.

I can't!

Why not?

[sighs]

We're having a baby.

I'm, I'm sorry,
we're doing what?

See?

Even this moment gets ruined.

It was supposed to be
so romantic.

A perfect little space and time
we'd always remember

when I told you
that we're having a baby.

It's... our first.

I hate
that I hurt you and Sharon.

We were so young.

Dante Green...

The devil himself.

...convinced me that I had
what it took to go it alone

and that he was the man
to make it happen.

And his timing...

was impeccable.

I just...

At that point,
I just wanted out.

I wasn't thinking
about what my choices

would do to you and Sharon.

Or if I was,
I talked myself into not caring.

I hurt you.

And I am so very sorry.

I know.

-If I could go back...
-We can't.

Right.

But what if we've been given
this chance for a reason?

What if we could do it right
this time?

Second chances are rare.

Be foolish to let one slip away.

You could have walked right out
that door as soon

as I mentioned the idea
of a reunion concert.

[chuckles softly]

Not on your life.

Are we out of our minds?

You already know.

Do you really think
we could do this?

The three of us

back onstage again, singing?

I'm in.

Well, that's two.

Good place to start.

But might be where we stall.

Number three is Sharon.

And she's...

even more angry at me than...

She hates me.

Have you called her?

Hung up on me.

Sharon may refuse your calls
but not mine.

I'm the peacemaker, right?

You both can always count on me.

You always could.

Sorry I didn't remind you
of that when it mattered most.

It matters now.

Right back.

Thanks for helping me
with all this.

What's this unsolvable problem
you have?

I like a challenge.

No, not that.

Your cousin was in a hurry.

[sighs]
She doesn't like fights.

Are we fighting?

We're bridging the gap

caused by the fact
that you constantly try

to make me feel bad

for not welcoming Eva
into my family

with open arms

and a permanent invitation
to family functions.

You refuse to see things
from my perspective.

I can see
how they can seem insensitive.

Thank you.

The thing is, I feel like
I know so much about you,

I think I've earned
the right to have some opinions.

Oh, really?

So when do I get
to make assumptions

and challenge your life choices?

When you want to get to know me.

Really know me.

Because right now
that's not happening.

Did you just call me
a self-obsessed princess?

I wouldn't dare.

[scoffs]

Well, that's not a no.

And if you think that,

you've got some important things
to learn about me.

[sighs]
I was basically jealous
that somebody knew you

better than I do.

And that person just happened
to be Bill Hamilton.

Fair, but-- fact-checking--

is Bill Hamilton actually human?

Point taken.

No one knows me

-better than you, Smitty.
-[phone buzzing]

What's going on?

Voting on
our appropriation bill.

Thrilling, but I won't bore you.

I have to fly.

I'll get the check.

I'll see you at home?

I love you.

Twice as much.

Here's a Kat fact, hmm?
I post a lot on socials,

but I never stalk.

So let's take a look at Tomas,
shall we?

Why social media?

Yes. You said your life

is like an open book.

You want me to read?

Well, show me.

The problem is,

you can't turn the pages
in this open book via social.

Learning Tomas requires
an IRL connection.

I see.

A whopping two posts.

Anything you want to know,
just ask.

Okay, well, since I can't
browse through your stories

like a normal person,

um, tell me...

what you do on the weekends.

It varies.

Sometimes I'm curled up
with a book all weekend.

I'm really
into Carl Ivati novels.

Fantasy romance?

-I wouldn't have guessed that.
-Oh, yeah.

Lovers finding each other
across different dimensions.

Ah, that's my jam.

Hmm. Noted.

Okay, what else?

Staying fit however I can.

Hiking on the weekends
or salsa dancing.

You salsa?

Do I salsa?

No, no, I'm Puerto Rican.

It's in my DNA.

Ooh, impressive.

I feel like
I should have known that.

Yeah, you should have.

Well, I blame you.

Why haven't you
taken me dancing yet?

Oh, and who's
this adorable little boy?

I've been working
with the Big Brother program

for the last five years.

Oh!

Ramón is... he's growing up
without a father figure.

That kind of breaks my heart,
you know?

So I try to do
what I can to help.

Wow.

That is really great, Tomas.

It's probably
why I wish you could be

a little nicer to Eva.

When you grow up
missing pieces and people

in your life, it leaves scars.

I see that in Eva.

And I wish someone
had been there for her

the way I am for Ramón.

What?

Yeah.

I'm just thinking

that must mean a lot to Ramón.

And to you.

I'm gonna ask more questions.

I want to know more about you.

Good. I like it when you ask.

And I like you.

You do?

You don't think
I'm a stuck-up rich girl

who doesn't care
about the people around her

and who wants to keep
the world at a distance?

Not all the time.

If only you knew how many people

wanted to date me
or be friends with me

because of my family.

Or how many times
I've been hurt.

And yeah, sure,

poor little rich girl.

But...

I've learned
to take things slow,

you know, and not let anyone in.

Like those gates
around your community.

I don't trust Eva.

Yet.

And I don't know
if I'll ever like her.

And I think it's too much
to ask for me

to change overnight
or at all, frankly.

I'm entitled to mistrust Eva.

She's earned it.

And I should be able
to react honestly

to her untrustworthiness

without being treated
like a bad person.

I don't think
you're a bad person.

Now you're supposed
to say it back.

[laughs]

Why would I ever
think you're bad?

Eh, you're kind of perfect.

Far from it.

Well, how about this?

I will be more curious

and inquisitive
when it comes to you.

Like...

...what are you thinking about
right now?

Mm.

You tell me.

[straining]

You weren't supposed
to see that paper.

I was just...

"What happens
when an immovable object

meets an unstoppable force?"

It's a paradox.

I mean, an impossible equation.

Well, if you solve this way:
"B" for boy,

"G" for girl.

-Multiply by two...
-Yeah.

Add momentum
plus gravitational pull, sure.

But then it just hangs there.

Like an unasked question.

Will it happen?

Won't it?

General theory of kinematics.

An object at rest
tends to stay at rest

unless acted on
by an outside force, Newton.

Without force?

Nothing happens.

Things just stay still.

You're not getting
a "B" in physics.

You're smarter than I thought.

Everything all right with Tracy?

She's freshening up.

Car's coming around
to take her to the airport.

I'm flying her back.

-Interesting turn of events.
-Mm.

She's gonna talk to Sharon.

Try to convince her
to at least have a discussion

about the reunion concert.

You should be happier.

You're one step closer to...

getting back on stage
with the Articulettes.

You know, there was a time
when I thought

this was the only thing
that mattered.

Our name in lights.

Crowds screaming for more.

Adding another gold album
to the wall.

I had a gift

that was gonna take me
to the top.

And that's where I was going,
no matter

what I had to do.

You didn't really know me
back then.

Not the real Anita Williams.

Only what
I chose to let you see.

But I was not
all sweetness and light.

I was ruthless.

Selfish.

Someone I tried very hard
to erase.

But you can't.

Can you?

Because of the people you hurt.

Bear witness.

[crying]

Anita.

Just hold me.

We're really having a baby?

This isn't
how I wanted to tell you--

at the country club
before an event.

I... I wanted it to be special,

for you to feel overjoyed and...

Baby, it is. I am.

But how can you be?

You already have
grown daughters.

How can this one matter?

Because this one will be ours.

-You really mean it?
-Yes.

Yeah. Look.

This kid is
gonna be the best of us

because he's gonna get
the best of us.

You hear that, Baby Hamilton?

He doesn't even have ears yet.

Okay, then I'll shout it
to the universe.

Baby, you have made me
the happiest man in the world.

I'm gonna be a father again?

Yes.

If you just said
what I think I heard,

I'm gonna lose my lunch.

So, I guess the takeaway

is: ask more questions.

Look beneath the surface.

People can be complicated.

You and I don't see Eva
from the same lens.

Maybe we never will.

I'm good with that.

-Really?
-Yeah.

This isn't about me pushing you
to like Eva.

I want you to like me,
be interested in me.

Who I am, what makes me tick.

I already am.

And if you don't know that...

...I need
to change my strategy here.

You have a strategy
when it comes to me?

Does that bother you?

No.

I just hope you
like a challenge.

This is the part where you start
laughing hysterically

and tell me that this is
all just a big old joke.

And by the way,
it's really lame.

It's true, baby.

Sorry, not sorry.

Oh, God.

Look, this is not the way
I would have wanted you

to find out,
but your dad's gonna be a dad.

Again.

A baby is good news.

For you, maybe.

But you know better.

You thought that people
were shunning you before?

Just you wait.

You and that kid are gonna be
ostracized for life.

What, Chelsea?

Were you hoping
that this was just a fling?

That your dad and I
were only enjoying

ourselves immensely
for a little bit

until he went back to Mommy?

Ah.

Oh, no.

I hope she wasn't thinking that.

You've forgotten
one important fact.

I knew you when you were
with the Articulettes.

That's when I fell in love
with you.

Complicated, yes.

But ruthless, selfish?

You didn't have to work with me.

I thought...

seeing Tracy
would be healing, but...

so many of the good memories
are all tangled up

with the bad ones, and I...

They're just coming
so hard and fast.

You-you were young, huh?

You got manipulated
by questionable people.

You fought like the devil
to be somebody, right?

So you put your trust
in Dante Green.

No, I can't blame him
for everything.

I left a lot of damage
in my wake, all on my own.

Who hasn't, huh?

That was a lifetime ago, Anita.

You're a whole
different person now.

Look-look what you're doing.

You're reaching out
to-to Tracy and to Sharon.

You're trying
to make things right.

You got growing pains.

That's to be expected.

But it'll all work out.

You know why?

Because it's written.

You'll see.
