I did a massive, dirty, filthy load of laundry.

I love it when you talk dirty.

Well, aren't you totally popular tonight?

-Have you been crying? -Oh, just a small river.

-Peace? -I'll get glasses.

I am so sorry that I upset you

and I found a great pediatrician

who will see you and Max if that is what you want.

Are you alright?

Maddie: I know he's different to other kids.

It's all my fault!

No, no, I meant what I said. He's a lovely boy.

She hates me!

-Who hates you? -Jesse.

I thought the problem was Max

because he is difficult

and I am a shit mother.

But all the time it was me.

Oh, my gosh.

[Cries]

What's the matter? Have you never seen a woman cry before?

I didn't think that you could.

And, look, you're not a shit Mum.

And I would know.

Gee, thanks.

And I'm not going anywhere because you need me.

Fine. Stay.

If I lose my job, I could probably use the rent money.

Wait, I have to pay rent?

You're early.

Oh, good to know.

Um, so, Tony. All happy?

-He approved the granite. -Great!

Maddie, I've, um -- I've asked Sascha

to take over the coordination of the project.

But I've been on this project since day one.

Sascha's about 12.

We value your contributions, Maddie.

We just need to be more sensitive to your needs.

Parent friendly, yeah?

Kyle.

Kyle?

Kyle!

You scared the shit out of me.

What are you making?[Music turns off]

Fairy cakes.

Ah...

What?

I didn't say anything.

Look, I wanted to apologize.

Yeah, well, so you should.

I'm sorry. I -- I know I got it very wrong.

I mean, I didn't enjoy lying about it.

Patrick insisted no one find out he was sick.

It's commercially sensitive, you know?

Charlotte wanted him removed to CEO.

And you didn't agree.

Well, I'm just loyal to Patrick,

and I wasn't exactly getting on with Charlotte

toward the end, so...

Well, thank you

for being honest with me.

I should get to work.

Why don't you come back around later?

Play date, you know? Bring Xavier.

We can talk about it.

Why are you being so nice?

I admire your persistence.

♪♪

Right.

♪♪

This is Kate, who will be acting for me.

Well, Maddie's already suggested shared custody,

so she does know that I have rights.

Actually, we reject any suggestion

that Maddie is not Max's main custodial parent.

I am aware that

Max has some behavioral issues that I'm addressing.

Are you joking?

Max isn't the only one who needs help.

In your opinion.You can't handle feelings, Maddie.

It's no wonder Max hasn't learnt about how to love.

I know there are heightened emotions right now,

but let's keep to the issue.

Ah...

Max is my son.

I've always had his best interests at heart.

You know that.

So I'll be seeing you in mediation or in court.

Take these down to the kids for me, will ya?

Unless you want to come out.Nah, we're good.

I'm sure you've had better fillet.

Well, you know, Anton hardly ever cooked for me at home.

Kyle: You're kidding.

I would have been happy with fairy cakes.

♪♪

Can I ask?

Why did you stay with Charlotte if you didn't even like her?

So much for small talk.

Well, I -- I wanna know.

Ah, well, the kids.

Don't you hate Anton for cheating on you

with your best friend?

Yeah, of course. I was annoyed.

[Laughing] Annoyed?

You make it sound like someone stole the last of the milk.

Yeah.

I was furious.

And betrayed. But...

I don't know. It was just. you know, partly for the kids

and then partly because I just -- I just --

I didn't want to give up.

We were going to try and make it work

when he was arrested.

Timing.

Yeah, spectacular, huh?

Do you really think he's innocent?

Of course I do.

I have to believe in him,

otherwise I could not keep going.

He's a very lucky man.

Or you're deluded.
