You ready for your medicine, Ms. Carter?

How you feeling today, Ms. Carter?

Same as yesterday.

Okay.

- Not so good. - Uh-hmm.

- I wanna go home. - Well, listen.

We all want something that we can't have, right?

I need you to take this medicine now

because Dr. Morris is coming to see you later on today, okay?

Now, come on.

Give me your hand.

Go ahead.

Let me see.

Okay.

Doc, we need to move her to a more secure location.

Not without a psych evaluation first.

She's only been here a week.

She's just barely getting strong enough to talk.

Until she's fully healed,

we can't even establish where to put her.

Look, she's in handcuffs.

Trust me, Detectives,

you guys are doing your job, we are doing ours.

He's right.

This woman is responsible for triple homicide.

She burned a man alive for crying out loud.

You don't need an evaluation to know she's dangerous.

Which furthers my point, Detective.

The system needs to decide

if Ms. Carter should be committed

to a mental institution

or arrested and taken to jail.

And it's my job to figure that part out.

So with all due respect, let me do my job.

How do you know she's not gonna hurt somebody else?

She's under 24-hour surveillance and detained at all times.

I doubt that she can hurt anyone but herself where she is.

You got 24 hours.

I'll notify the court

when I have my decision

and that won't happen

until Ms. Carter is well enough to talk.

Thank you, detectives.

Tell me again about the visions, Ms. Carter.

Very so often...I see him.

Frank?

Frank.

My Jason.

What about me?

Do you see me, Zoey?

Because I see you.

And I miss you.

Oh, Eddie.

I miss you too.

No, no, no.

No, no, no.

Get out of my head.

You aren't real.

I know that Frank is your accuser

and Jason was your son.

What about Eddie?

Let's talk about him.

Eddie was the one.

I fell in love with Eddie.

Eddie was perfect.

But the boy...

he was evil.

Normally the boys are innocent, but not this one.

This one should have died.

This boy you say should have died,

you are talking about Scott,

Eddie's son, correct?

I always liked the boy Smith.

But Scott?

He was evil.

You're right, Zoey.

You wanted me dead.

Why don't you go ahead and kill me?

You want these, Zoey?

Well, you're never getting them.

And you're never getting outta here.

These keys unlock the doors,

your cuffs,

pretty much the entire place.

But you'll never get them.

I swear you won't get away with this.

I swear!

Come back to us, Elizabeth.

That's not Scott.

And I'm not Eddie.

I'm Dr. Morris and that's James,

the security guard.

You're in Gardner Rose Hospital.

You were stabbed a couple weeks ago.

Do you know who you are?

I'm Zoey.

I think.

No, you're not Zoey.

You're Elizabeth Carter.

Come on, Doc.

Of course I know who I am.

Why can't I get outta here?

Tell me what happened to you

the night you were stabbed?

If you don't open up to me, Ms. Carter,

I can't help you.

Remember I'm on your side.

They wanna take you to a mental institution now.

I need to determine if you go to an institution

that will help you or if you go to prison,

where we both know, there's not a lot of help there.

Fine.

We can talk tomorrow, Ms. Carter.

Thank you, Doctor, for all your help.

James, keep an eye on her.

James, do you mind passing me some water, please?

-I'm not allowed to help-- -Please.

They treat me like an animal in here.

I'm so thirsty.

Please.

Thank you.

See? I told you, Scott.

Time for your sedative, Ms. Ca...Ms. Carter!

Down, girl.

I don't like you.

Hi, baby.

I miss you so much.

I can't wait to see you either.

Hey, how did everything go?

Did you get the house?

Perfect.

Yes.

I'll see you soon.

Donnie, it's me.

I need a huge favor.

Can you please get me a plane ticket,

to San Francisco,

and an ID with the name Diana Santiago?

I need this by tomorrow.

Yes of course.

You know where to meet me.

Let me get this straight,

you let her escape

and you didn't see nothing?

Nothing?

I was just out of the room only five minutes.

Look, I can't see how this happened.

She killed over six people, Doc!

Over six people.

We tried to warn you.

What?

Yeah.

What's he talking about, Dr. Morris?

We begged Dr. Morris here to allow us to move her.

But he was all burnt up

on this stupid psych eval, right?

Look, it's--

We come all the way down from Arizona

to find our suspect missing?

You gotta be kidding me.

It's my fault, detectives.

Okay?

Damn straight.

I take full responsibility.

So this is just a big fat waste of time, detectives.

You had let the female Ted Bundy get away,

with no idea where she's gone.

Wait a minute.

We might not be totally in the dark

about her whereabouts.

I mean, think about it.

She stole James Johnson's cell phone and wallet.

So if we can track his cell phone,

we probably can find her.

Go for Stinger.

Yeah, Mr. Johnson's wallet and phone are here

but no sign of Carter.

Copy.

I remember walking in the room

and before I could do anything, I just...

I felt the needle in my neck.

And then I remember waking up in this room.

Is there anything you can tell me

about Carter's stay here?

She was weird.

Like she didn't talk a whole lot.

She asked me for some water.

I was just trying to be helpful.

Next thing I know her legs is wrapped around me

like a python and I passed out.

I woke up and she was gone.

Is there anything you can tell us about Elizabeth

that can help us find her?

Hmm, she mentioned some guy named Eddie.

She kept saying Eddie was the one she loved,

and something about Scott being evil.

I've already told you everything I know about Zoey.

I don't know anything else.

The last I remember I was knocked out

and I thought she was dead.

Well, her real name is Elizabeth Carter.

And Ms. Carter is very alive.

She almost killed us all.

I hope y'all find her...dead.

Is that how you really feel, Scott?

And why wouldn't I?

This woman is dangerous. And obviously y'all

can't keep her locked up.

So she's better dead.

Is there anything you can tell us about Ms. Carter

to help us locate her whereabouts?

She had a whole new family.

And by new family, what do you mean?

The night that everything happened,

Scott and I followed her to this house in Westchester.

And we've seen her with an entire new family.

Can you take us there?

Yeah.

Excuse me, officers.

Can I help you with something?

Yes, ma'am.

Is Kevin Smith here?

Oh, no, I'm sorry.

Kevin moved out a couple weeks ago.

Do you know where he went?

Didn't say.

I'm just the new homeowner.

I have no idea.

Have a good day, ma'am.

Stinger, Smith isn't here.

Mom, wake up, it's time for breakfast.

Hmm.

Good morning, mama's boy.

Baby, you really got the house.

It's beautiful.

I told you I'd do anything to make you happy, Diana.

And I meant that.

I love you.

I love you too.

You forced yourself inside of me, Frank.

In front of my boy!

I'm done!

You cannot fix this!

Is everything okay, Zoey?

Let me get this straight,

you guys apparently been tracking her longer

and have more history with the case

and yet you're just as in the dark as we are?

-I don't get that. -Well, look.

I'm new to the case, so.

Whoa, whoa, hold on now.

We gave you all the information on our investigation

and we've went over this a million times.

I mean, but we need to go over it again.

-Yeah. -I mean, we need to

find this woman and lock her up.

The world is a much safer place

without her roaming the street killing innocent men.

Uh-hmm.

I mean, listen, man.

We're talking Greg Simmons,

Daniel Owen,

as well as Stephen Green,

all single Black men,

great fathers,

just trying to raise their sons.

I mean, you know how hard it is

to be a single parent

and try to find love?

Hmm.

This sounds personal, Stinger.

Oh, it is personal.

I mean, I'm a single Black father

doing my best to raise my son

and not following the statistic of being

a typical Black father

that is not a part of his child's life.

You're a damn good dad, too.

-I appreciate that, partner. -Absolutely, man.

I mean, but can you imagine?

You meet your soul mate

and find out she's a psycho killer.

Technically they don't find out because they all dead.

Grade A. You know what I'm talking about?

You guys are pigs, joking about something like that.

Gotta make the job funny to get through it.

Amen to that.

Amen.

-To the job. -To the job.

To the job. All right.

Hey, baby.

Oh, hey, honey.

How was work?

I didn't go in today.

I had a few errands I had to run.

Oh.

Hope you got everything you needed done.

I did.

Are you okay, baby?

I'm more than okay.

Ever since I met you,

everything in my life's changed in ways you can't even imagine.

And the way you love my son, I just--

I just don't know what I'd do without you.

Oh, baby.

I feel the same way.

All I've ever wanted...

was a real family.

And you've given me just that.

It's everything I've ever wanted and needed.

You sure it's everything you ever wanted...

or is there one more thing?

What are you talking about, baby?

Dustin.

I know we talked about it

but I wanna make it official.

Diana Valdez,

baby, will you make me the happiest man

and be my wife?

Yes, Kevin.

I will marry you.

I do.

Yes.

Wow.

I love you.

I still can't believe you got this wild boy

to settle down after only a few months.

You must be some special woman.

I've been known to have my ways.

No, seriously.

I feel like an absolute queen.

Kevin is truly the man of my dreams.

I couldn't have asked for a better person.

Kevin?

The man of your dreams?

Oh. How much did you pay her to lie like that?

Hey, hey, don't be hating

because you on your second divorce.

Hey, come on, man. You know I'm still going through therapy.

Good. You need it.

This is true. This is very true. I need it.

But hey, look, women nowadays,

they too independent for me, okay?

I need to be needed. Right now,

I need you to start planning our honeymoon, best man.

Hey, I thought I was the best man?

You are always the best man

and my favorite man but don't tell your dad.

Your secret is safe with me.

We're gonna go get some punch and say hi to a few guests.

You guys stay here and catch up?

-All right, baby. -Check you guys later.

- All right. - All right.

So she's the one, huh?

Where'd you two meet?

We actually met at the Mandarin restaurant

in LA a few months ago.

It's crazy because, um,

I wasn't even supposed to be there.

My assistant sent me the wrong address.

One look and I was hooked.

Love at first sight.

Must be nice.

Yeah. It is.

Kev...

it's only been a few months, man. I mean,

you don't think it's a little quick?

Hey, love is never too quick when it's right.

Diana changed me, man.

She makes me a better person, you know?

Yeah. Change is right.

I mean, you upped and moved out of your house,

your fly house in LA

to this grandma farmhouse

in Frisco. I mean, you're the same man that said

you would never chase after a woman.

Well, ain't nobody chasing, Chris.

I fell in love.

And the woman just so happened to teach me

that change is not so bad.

Maybe you should try it because what you're doing

obviously ain't working, bruh.

I'mma let you have that one.

Listen, all I'm saying is,

you may wanna get to know her.

I do know her.

And I'm gonna marry her.

So you could either support me

or go back home.

-Damn. Relax, Mr. Simpson there. -Hey, I'm just saying how it is.

I'm definitely gonna support you, all right?

-All right. -And besides, I can't go home.

Me and ex-wife number two are going through

a mean battle over the house.

So I am here.

I got you whatever you need.

I'm at a nearby hotel.

Stop it, Chris, man.

You know my house is yours, brother, like...

Good. Because the guestroom sure look cozy.

Uh-hmm. Just gotta run it

by the soon-to-be missus.

Handle your business.

Hey, after the wedding, you gotta bounce though

because the house gonna be rocking.

Shoot, I may just get Dustin to stay

-at his grandma's at night. -Go and send him away.

- Send him away. -

Really?

Without even asking me first?

Baby, he's our best man.

And he's helping us organize a wedding

since you have no maid of honor.

He could stay in a hotel.

It's just until after the wedding.

He's my best friend.

I can't let him sleep in a hotel and spend money.

Why can't he just use our guestroom?

Because, Kevin,

this is our home

with our perfect family.

We don't need any more extra energies throwing us off!

Are you okay, baby?

Look, I didn't think it would upset you like this.

I mean, we aren't married,

so technically it's still my home

and... until we are.

So do you want me to leave?

I didn't mean it that way.

Come on, baby.

So what did you mean, Kevin?

Huh?

Look...

you don't need to do this.

I love you.

I never wanna upset you.

Too late.

Baby, stop.

You know what? You're right.

Maybe I'm just a little on edge.

All the pressure of planning this wedding

and...

I mean, we can use his help.

But after the wedding--

Oh, he's outta here.

Shoot.

Thank you, baby.

Hey, maybe you can use this time to get to know him.

I mean, I'd love to have my best friend

and my future wife get along.

We'll see how things go.

Thank you.

Thank you.

I really appreciate you understanding me.

You owe me.

Oh, yeah?

Whatever you want,

I'll give it to you.

Can we...have a baby of our own one day?

Of course

after we get married.

Of course, you know, but...

Yeah. I mean,

that'd be a dream come true.

Maybe a little girl?

We can name her Elizabeth after me

and dress her up in like all these princess dresses.

And it's just...

Wait, Elizabeth?

You know, like Princess Diana.

Like Queen Elizabeth.

I'm sorry. I'm just...I've been so tired

and I just get the names confused

but she's gonna be a princess.

You're crazy.

Yes!

Got you.

Well, you beat me this time but you can't handle me.

You do know your mom was a videogame queen

back when she was your age.

I used to challenge all the kids in my neighborhood

and I would actually beat each and every one of them.

No offense or anything but back in your day,

videogames were really easy.

I guess you're right.

Sometimes I don't even know what buttons to press.

It's like holding a mini computer in your hand.

Well, I'm really happy that you're here.

It was hard after Janet left.

Janet?

Who's Janet?

Your mother?

Tell me more about her.

Were you two close?

No, not really.

She left right after my big sister died.

Sister?

Kevin never told me you had a sister.

Dad never really tends to talk about it.

He said it was a hard time for him and me

and everybody should just move on.

Then, how do you feel about it?

I don't really remember anything

about her or Janet.

All I can really feel is that

she never really loved us

because she just left.

Oh, baby.

You know I'm never gonna leave you, right?

You promise?

I promise.

I love you.

You're my mother now.

I'm your mother now.

Hey, baby.

Smells good in here. What's on the menu?

Dustin's favorite.

Chicken and roasted potatoes.

Well, I can't wait.

So we're keeping secrets I hear?

What are you talking about, baby?

When were you gonna tell me you had a daughter?

Dustin told you?

Yes.

I thought I said there are no secrets in this family.

I know, baby.

But that's not a secret.

It's a chapter in my life I put behind me.

Well, at least I tried.

We are gonna be a family.

You can tell me anything.

I will always understand.

I know. I know.

But the death of my daughter is just--

s just not something I'm ready to talk about yet.

Well, when you're ready,

I'm here.

I'm not going anywhere.

Communication is key

in any relationship,

especially in marriage.

I agree.

Hey.

No more secrets, okay?

No more secrets.

Now go wash up.

Yes, ma'am.

So D, tell Uncle C about this girlfriend I heard you got.

Gosh, word travels fast in this family.

Well, Tracy is super cool.

We hang out on the phone,

talk, play video games.

Not like I'm getting married to the girl.

Yeah, like your pops, right?

Tell me about Diana.

You like her?

Yeah. She's actually super cool.

She actually really cares about me and my dad.

She's good in my book.

-Really? -Yeah.

I just know pops is sprung.

You think?

- Like a chicken. -

Well, it seems like you and your pops both

have new women in your lives

and ain't got no time for old Uncle C.

It ain't like that, C.

Hey, where is she from?

She said she from Texas. That's all I know.

Hey, do all detectives ask questions like you, Uncle C?

Yes. It is our job to snoop.

Ain't nothing to worry about.

All right.

Hey, I'm just glad your pops

found love after Janet.

Me too.

No. No, no, no. That's not what I'm looking for.

Hey.

- Thank you for the towels. - Don't mention it.

Any friend of Kevin's...

is a family member of mine.

Where are you from?

-Originally? -Yeah.

Texas.

Oh, yeah?

What part? - Houston.

Houston?

Home of the Cougars.

Go, Cougars.

What about you?

Me? Oh, no, I'm from around.

You know, here and there. A little bit of everywhere.

My parents were in the military so we moved around a lot.

Yeah, ATL is where I ended up in college.

Started my business there.

Hmm.

And what kind of business did you start?

I have my own private investigator firm.

We find people that don't wanna be found.

-Hmm. -It's cool

'cause I can work remote.

Wow.

That's awesome.

Well, we are ecstatic to have you as a house guest.

If there's anything else I can do for you, Chris,

please feel free and let me know.

Will do.

Okay. This is Kevin Smith.

Forty-five years old.

Son, Dustin Smith.

Fifteen years old. Lives in LA.

Actually lived in LA,

until about a week ago, he up and moved.

Where he moved to is the question.

Now what we do know is Elizabeth has been living with Kevin

in his house for the last couple months.

Jessica told us they looked like one big happy family.

And all this while still married to Eddie Lindbrook.

Exactly. So obviously like we talked about,

she's established a pattern.

She chooses a family, just in case the one

-she's with doesn't work out. -Okay.

We've established she has a pattern,

but it still doesn't get us any closer to an arrest.

I want this woman's head on a platter

and it starts with this Smith guy.

Yeah. Let's put a APB out on Dustin Smith,

put him through the database, see what we come up with.

Eddie.

How'd you do it, man?

How'd you survive?

Good morning, houseguest.

It's time to wake up.

Breakfast will be ready in 10 minutes.

This broad is crazy.

Woo!

Crab, baby! - Come on. Come on now.

-Y'all do this every morning? -Hey. Come on in, brother.

It's Saturday. Turn up.

We wake up every Saturday morning

and make breakfast as a family.

Not gonna lie, Uncle C. I wasn't feeling it

either at first, but you'll get used to it.

So, I'm guessing this is your idea?

Oh, real family unites

and does family things like this.

- It brings us closer together. - It does.

Come on, Uncle C. Dance with us.

Come on. Yeah. Go, Uncle C. Go, Uncle C, go.

Go, Uncle C. Go, Uncle C, go.

Hey.

I knew it.

Chris?

Hey. It's a nice day out, isn't it?

It's beautiful.

And I highly doubt you invited me

to come all this way

to admire the sunshine.

Why am I here, Chris?

Take a seat.

I'd rather stand.

Suit yourself.

I was doing some research on you, Ms. Valdez.

Found out you're from Houston.

You went to Fairmont High School,

home of the Cougars.

What does my high school have to do with anything?

Well, for one thing, if you are from Houston,

you'd know that Fairmont High School

is home of the Lions, not the Cougars.

You see, I myself

went to Fairmont High School in Houston.

I knew you were lying at the dinner table.

So I said to myself,

"Self, the only reason someone would lie

about something like that

is if they were hiding something."

So, I started digging.

And you ain't Diana Valdez,

because...

that is Diana Valdez

and she's as dead as dead can get.

Now my guess is you have a very good reason

why you stole this woman's identity

and lie to my best friend.

Let me explain.

Did you kill this woman?

Chris!

I'm not a murderer.

I just...

You better start explaining before I do.

Talk!

Tell me now Liz!

Couple of years back,

I was in a relationship...

with a man named Michael.

Everything was going great,

till I got pregnant.

Then everything changed.

I got into some trouble.

What kind of trouble?

Chris...

I wasn't ready to have a baby.

I went to the doctor and...

I got rid of my baby.

When Michael found out, he was completely furious.

He turned into a madman

and abused me for days on end.

It wasn't until I threatened to turn him in

that he started to retaliate

and try to kill me.

Chris, I had no choice.

I had to change my identity,

get out of there, and I haven't looked back...

since.

All right, so this Michael guy,

is he the kind of guy that if he knew you're alive--

If he knew I was alive,

it wouldn't even fit my description.

Understood.

Okay. So what about this Diana Valdez?

-What's the connection there? -There is none.

I looked up a guy who sells identities.

It was a "no ask, no tell" situation.

And now we're here.

Look, please don't tell Kevin.

He's been so good to me.

If I lose him over this, it's because...

I want to know it's because I was honest.

Okay. I'll let you have that one.

Besides, hearing it from me will be much worse.

Chris, thank you.

You really are a great man.

And all of that you're doing,

I see why Kevin really loves you.

What's your real name?

Okay, look, just be honest with Kevin, okay?

He'll understand.

Thank you, Chris.

Don't mention it.

I just want a better life, Chris.

I'm sorry. I didn't... thank you, Chris.

Thank you for understanding.

I've actually been wanting to talk to you about something

that's just been weighing so heavy on my heart,

and I...

You can talk to me about anything.

You know that, Diana.

- I just...I have to... -Hey, Mom. Hey, Dad.

Hey, Dustin.

Um, Mom, can I talk to you about something?

Go ahead, baby. It's fine. We can talk later.

Okay. I'll meet you in my room.

You sure, baby?

It's fine.

I gotta send a few emails anyway.

-We'll talk later? -For sure.

I love you.

I love you too. Come here.

Hi, baby.

Yeah.

So Tracy told me she love me.

-Wait. What? -Uh-hmm.

What did you say?

Uh, I said I had to think about it.

What am I supposed to do?

Mom, this isn't funny. This is serious.

I'm not ready to be married and tied down.

I'm only 14.

I'm so sorry, baby. I'm not laughing at you.

I actually just find it to be so awesome

that I have a son that's so charming and handsome

that he already has girls falling in love with him.

Mom, please. I'm not seven.

I'm sorry. You're right.

That's not the only thing.

Tracy also said that she wanted me to be her first.

Wait. What?

I knew you'd be mad.

Actually, I'm not mad at all. I'm...

I'm happy that you feel so comfortable

to talk to me about this.

I didn't wanna tell dad yet.

No, I get it.

How does this make you feel?

I don't know. I'm-- - Listen, son, I just...

I understand pressures that come with being a teenager.

I know because I had them as well

when I was your age.

But, listen, never allow anyone

to make you feel like you have to do something

you don't want to do.

But what if I get laughed at or she'll think I'm cool

'cause I don't wanna have sex with her.

What?

Sex before marriage?

What is this world coming to?

What happened to the days when...

sex was a beautiful thing

between two people who are married?

Like what is wrong with people, huh?

Kind of floated off into your own world there, Mom.

I'm sorry.

This isn't about me or the world.

It's about you.

You don't need anyone like that in your life.

And, honestly...

if she can't understand that,

she's the one that's not cool.

Sex shall only be between two people who are married.

You must always know that.

Thank you, Mom.

Anytime.

Mom?

Yes, baby?

I'm happy you're in my life.

I love you, baby.

I'm happy I'm in yours and you're in mine.

- Oh, yeah. - Drinks up.

Yes! That's mommy's boy.

Woo-hoo!

Solid.

Dad. Dad, is that?

-Dustin, get inside. -But, Dad--

Dustin, I'm not gonna tell you again, son.

Please listen and get inside.

Excuse me. Are you lost?

No.

I'm exactly where I need to be.

I'm here to see my husband.

Your what?

What the hell are you doing here, Janet?

Janet?

Your ex-wife?

Ex?

Oh, no, no. No, dear, no.

I am still very much his wife.

What is she talking about?

The divorce isn't final quite yet.

But it will be as soon as you sign.

Why are you here?

Kevin, you know I am not signing those papers.

I'm here to talk.

She's right.

Let's go inside and talk about this like adults.

-Shall we? -Let's.

So, Janet?

Call me Mrs. Smith please.

What brings you to our home?

Like I've already told you, I'm here to deal with my family.

Kevin, can we...can we go somewhere privately to talk?

Diana, please give me and Janet a minute to talk.

After 10 years?

You can't just show up here unannounced

expecting to get back what you've lost.

It does not work like that.

I am the woman of this house now

and I'll be damned if I let you walk back in here

thinking you're gonna take what I have.

Baby, it's okay.

Janet, Diana is right.

What are you really doing here?

Can we just please talk privately?

Anything you have to tell Kevin,

you can tell it to him right in front of me.

All right, Diana, I know you said you liked yellow ones

but these red ones I found are banging.

Janet?

What the hell are you doing here?

That seems to be the question

we all have been asking here.

Can we please talk?

No!

Did you not hear me the first time?

Diana, please.

Please.

Fine.

Baby.

Liz, come on now.

Don't flip out.

Don't ruin this.

Liz, all you have to do

is get rid of Chris and then her.

They're the ones that are both in your way.

Liz, get it together.

Seriously, Liz.

Who's Liz?

You scared me. What are you doing in my room?

I'm wondering why Janet's here

and why she just showed up all of a sudden.

So how did things go with Kevin?

Did he go for the whole name change thing?

Chris, I just need a moment please.

I, uh...

I don't know where to start, Kevin.

Why don't you start with

why the hell you show up to my home

ten years after you walked out on me

and your son without so much as a goodbye.

I am sorry, Kevin.

I know I hurt you and Dustin.

I can't do anything to change the past but...

I can make the future right.

Future?

There is no future, Janet.

What, did you just think you could walk back

into my life and I'll take you back?

Give me a break.

Give me a chance to make things better.

I feel horrible for what I did.

I just wanna sit and catch up and...

maybe see Dustin.

Maybe get a chance to talk to him.

What, does she think she is?

Does she think she could just come up in here

and just pick up where she left off?

Is she out of her mind?

In all fairness, she's still his wife

and Dustin is her son.

You can't blame the woman for trying to be in their lives.

Now I know it's horrible timing but like it or not,

if I know Janet, she's not going anywhere.

You let our son grow up without a mother.

And for what, Janet?

For what?

Tell me.

You wanna make things right,

tell me why you left us.

I couldn't live with myself after Kimberly died.

I was no good to you or anyone else.

Yes, yes, it was selfish,

but I would've only hurt you more

if I stayed.

All I've ever wanted was a real family

to fill that void that she left.

Don't you think

Kevin and Dustin deserve to be happy?

They have a real wife and mother.

Someone's that's not gonna just walk on them.

Kevin and Dustin both deserve the truth,

which is something you haven't given them at all.

Please, can you at least,

at least find it in your heart to forgive me?

Please. I am so sorry.

Please. I'm sorry.

I'm so sorry.

I don't wanna hurt you. I'm so sorry.

Hmm.

You know, you may not even have to tell Kevin anything.

If I were you, I'd leave now.

Save yourself the embarrassment.

I mean, Janet has always been the love of his life.

And you...

you were just the rebound.

And now that Janet's back, you may be out the game.

Thanks.

Will change.

I'm so sorry.

-I...I'm so sorry. -It's okay.

Is everything okay in here?

Yes. It's fine.

Uh, yes, I...

I was just leaving.

Uh, oh, it was... it was nice meeting you, Diana.

Tell Dustin that I will be back tomorrow to see him.

I'm staying at the Wyndham.

It's five minutes away. Room 226.

I'll be in touch.

Oh, uh, congrats to you both on the wedding.

Kevin told me.

You know what?

I forgot to call my Uber.

Do you mind if I hang out while my ride comes?

Yes, we do mind.

Please leave.

Now.

Chris, do you mind giving Janet a ride back to her hotel?

No, I got you, bro.

Appreciate it.

Really, Kevin?

What the hell was that, Kevin?

I just step out for a couple minutes

and I come back to you hugged up all over your ex-wife?

How many years has it been since you've seen her?

It isn't like that, Diana.

You know that.

I don't know anything other than what I saw, Eddie!

And what I saw was you hugged up on your ex-wife!

Who's Eddie?

Eddie?

Who's Eddie?

You just called me Eddie.

My head is all over the place.

Your ex-wife just shows up

and decides to try to break up our family!

Don't try to change the subject, Diana.

Who's Eddie?

Me change the subject?

Why don't you try telling me why you were just hugged up

all over your ex-wife!

I will once you tell me

why you just called me another man's name!

Eddie was...

Eddie was my ex.

He hurt me so bad.

He was very abusive and he yelled at me.

All we did was argue.

I'm sorry but confrontation sometimes

takes me back to that place.

I'm sorry, Kevin.

I just don't want you to hurt me like Eddie did.

Hey. Hey. Baby.

Baby.

I will never hurt you like whoever this Eddie guy is.

I love you too much.

I also love Diana, but...

I just want Dustin to be able to have relationship

with his mother as well.

I understand.

All I want is to make you and Dustin happy.

And since we're gonna be getting married,

that means we're gonna be a family,

and a family has each other's back.

So if it's important for you

to have Dustin build a relationship with Janet,

then it's important for me too.

Thank you, baby.

That means so much to me.

I love you.

Kevin...

there's more to the story about Eddie.

Can we talk now?

Yeah. Of course, baby.

You think me coming back was a mistake?

I mean, maybe you could've called first.

It's like he has a whole new family,

one that doesn't include me.

Look, in all fairness, Janet, you did just up and leave.

What'd you expect the man to do?

Wait 10 years for you to randomly pop back up?

I'm not saying that,

but not only did he move on, he left the state.

He didn't wanna live in that house anymore.

It was too painful. Too many memories of you.

And, honestly, I can't even blame him.

But this new woman,

they've only known each other for what, a few months

and they're already planning a wedding?

Don't you think that is too fast?

Not if you're Diana.

What does that mean?

Well, she's the one that wanted them to move out here.

Look, I haven't trusted this woman from the beginning,

okay, so I started doing some research.

And?

And I found out Diana isn't her name.

She had been playing Kevin the whole entire time.

So when I confronted her about it,

she said that she's on the run from her ex

and that's why she changed her name.

Said she would tell Kevin but then you showed up.

Oh, wait. So...

So all she did was change her name

and she haven't told Kevin?

Really? Come on.

What I did to him was so much worse.

Look, all I know is I don't trust anything

about this woman.

I got some people digging into it even deeper.

We'll see what they come up with.

Okay. Okay.

So do you believe she'll tell Kevin the truth?

I don't even know what the full truth is.

She could tell him about the fake name or whatever.

He's so gullible, he'll probably believe it.

We need to get rid of her.

I don't know, Chris.

Kevin seems happy, all right?

And I don't wanna cause him any more pain

-than I already have. -Janet, I'm a detective.

I've been trained to read people like this for a living

and I'm telling you, there is something off

about this woman.

I need to get rid of her and I need your help.

Mmm. Baby, this is so good.

You cook so well.

Make sure you eat your eggs, okay, baby?

Uh-hmm.

So how did things go with Janet?

Cool.

Did she tell you why she's here?

She wanted to see Dustin.

Is that the only reason?

Yup.

So, Diana,

have you talked to Kevin yet?

She sure did.

We talked about it and we worked it all out.

And I told her she's safe with me

and there's nothing for her to ever worry about.

- I love you, baby. - I love you too, baby.

So, Dustin,

did you know your new mom has a past?

Of course, I did.

And just like dad said,

we have Diana's back.

I wish somebody would mess with my mom.

Baby.

Oh, I love you. Give mama a kissy.

You know, I really do love you guys.

You guys make me feel so protected and...

I love my boys.

-We love you too. -Love you, Mom.

And you, Chris,

I know how important it is

to have a good mental health,

especially after experiencing something so traumatic.

Like how your wife left you with nothing.

I know how hard it must be on you

and I just wanted to let you know

if there's anything you need,

someone to talk to,

we are your family,

and family...

looks out for one another.

Honey, grab is hand too.

Chris?

Come on, man.

- We love you, Chris. -Uh-hmm.

- We love you, Chris. - We're family.

Well-played, Diana.

What are you talking about?

Don't play dumb.

Let me tell you something...

No.

Let me tell you something.

If you ever try to come between me and my family again,

I will bury you.

Are you threatening me?

I don't have to.

You're the one that's in shambles.

Your wife left you.

She took the house,

the dog.

Hmm, you're in therapy.

And here you come,

while your best friend is planning his wedding.

He's happy with his perfect life.

It seems like we should actually be worried about you, Chris.

So you're gonna come at me like that?

Your best bet is to stay out of my way,

so I could stay out of yours.

Oh, by the way,

welcome to the family, I guess.

She's crazy.

She's crazy and she's got your whole family

in the palm of her hands.

We gotta do something and quick.

I get that you are freaked out by this woman

but be realistic.

She hasn't hurt anyone

and she has no prior criminal record.

Technically, we don't know that.

I still don't know her real name,

which is why it's so hard to get

an exact criminal background check on her.

Okay, Chris, now you're being paranoid.

Just drop it, okay?

Obviously, Kevin is happy.

Maybe she's right.

Maybe you are envious of his happiness

and that's making you lose your mind.

You lost your mind?

What are you, under her spell too?

No. No. I'm just saying that what you're saying,

it's unrealistic. Come on.

Things like that only happen in movies

or White people.

I am telling you,

there is something off with this woman.

And I don't wanna be the one to say I told you so

-when this ends bad. -Okay. Okay.

Do you at least have anything else?

I'm--I'm waiting for my guy to call me back.

All right. Well, you'll know if everything checks out.

Who is it?

Diana.

Oh, uh, just a second!

I'm coming.

-Oh. -Hey, Janet.

Gosh, I...

I totally forgot that you were stopping by today.

Yay.

I hope I'm not interrupting anything.

No, no, I'm here by myself.

I figured I'd come by and, uh, let you know, um,

there isn't any hard feelings.

-Okay. -I can only imagine

what it's like to lose a family.

What do you mean lose?

Well...

This is something that's very hard to do

and I'm sorry to be the one to break the news,

but Kevin wants you to leave.

And Dustin, well,

he just doesn't wanna see you.

It's too much for them both.

We're in the middle of planning our wedding

and building us a family,

it's just not the right time for you, Janet.

Did Kevin say this?

We spoke about it after our shower this morning.

Okay. I just can't let that sit with me, all right?

I am gonna need Kevin to say that to my face.

Oh, not a problem.

I'll arrange us to have a family meeting.

We can sit and talk about it.

He'll tell you.

Okay.

What about Dustin?

Dustin?

My advice to you is to leave my son alone.

He's suffered enough.

Diana, do you mean my son?

Oh, no, no, no.

I meant what I said.

I'm his mother now.

And unlike you,

I wouldn't do anything to hurt my Jason.

Uh, excuse me?

-What? -Who's Jason?

-What are you talking about? -Well, you just said Jason.

You said you'll never do anything to hurt "Jason."

-Who's Jason? -I meant Dustin. Look, Janet.

Please, leave us alone.

I'll have Kevin contact you when he's ready to talk.

Oh...

so sorry about all this.

But maybe you should really consider

the people you hurt next time, especially if you love them.

It could come back to you.

Have a great day, Janet.

-Told you she was off. -Big time.

-And who's Jason? -I don't know,

but maybe you can give it to one of your guys

and see if they can come up with anything.

Good idea.

In the meantime, you stay here.

- I'll call you if I need you. - Okay.

Jeff. I got a new name. Jason.

See if there's a connection between this Jason and an Eddie.

Call me when you have something.

All right. I'm on my way back to the house now.

Didn't you meet me when I was born?

Oh, my God -Baby.

- You're stupid. -I just got done

picking up the perfect table...

Oh, hey, Diana.

What did you just call me?

I said Diana.

But you--

but you always call me mom.

Have a seat, Zoey.

I think we need to talk.

What's going on?

Are you guys trying to ambush me?

We just wanted to talk, baby.

You okay, Mom?

I'm fine.

Baby...

did you just call me Diana?

No, why would I call you that? You're my mom.

Are you okay, baby?

I'm fine.

I just need to lay down for a second.

Dustin, you and Janet catch up.

Baby.

Are you sure you're okay, baby?

Yes, I'm fine.

What is she doing here?

She told me you invited her over.

That you wanted us all to sit down

as a family and talk.

And can I just say thank you?

You don't know how much that means to me.

And Dustin.

That's right.

I totally forgot.

I spoke with her earlier at their hotel.

I had to let her know how important it was

for Dustin and you

to accept her into our lives.

Yeah, I think more than me, it's...

it's good for Dustin.

That he can finally get the answers

I could never give him.

I couldn't agree more.

You know what,

why don't we all go have dinner tomorrow night?

Say around 8:00 PM?

That sounds great, baby.

And again, thank you.

You don't know how much this means to me.

There's nothing I wouldn't do for you.

I know, baby.

I know.

What you got for me?

No way.

And the security cam footage shows Carter leaving

the San Francisco Airport about a month ago.

We sure it's her?

She had on a cap and sunglasses,

but facial recognition got a match.

It's definitely Carter.

So we know she's in San Francisco.

But how do we know where?

There's 850,000 people in San Francisco.

-How do we find her? -It's a step closer.

One step close, two steps back.

I mean, do we even know anybody down in that jurisdiction?

I may have a guy up there.

You think it's worth giving him a call?

All right.

Do you have to go, baby?

It's just for one night.

I found this fantastic place that's number one in California

when it comes to florals.

With all the distractions, I almost forgot

we are planning a wedding.

Bye.

I'm gonna miss you, mom.

Oh, baby, I'm gonna miss you, too.

You studs will be just fine without me.

You know I could've gone with you.

Baby, you already have company.

I'll be fine. Trust me.

And honestly, I wouldn't mind a little time

just to clear my head.

All right.

I love you boys.

I'll call you as soon as I get in,

-no worries. -You better.

Or else I'm getting in the car and coming to find you.

- Mmm-hmm. -

I love you.

-I love you more. -Me, too.

Hey, baby.

Hey, mom, you made it safe?

I sure did.

I'm exhausted from the drive.

I'm gonna get some sleep.

Okay, baby. Well, get some rest.

I'm calling you boys first thing in the morning.

I'm ready.

Right this way.

Oh, Michelle.

Wow. Come here.

I'm surprised to see you. I'm happy you called, though.

Have a seat.

So you asked me about my son.

Um, well, he's 16.

Uh, super amazing basketball player.

He's ranked, like, number three in his district.

I'm so proud of him.

Wow.

It must be so amazing to have a boy

that you raise and he'd be...

all that you ever imagined.

Yeah.

How about you? You got any kids?

Had.

His name was Dustin.

Had?

Um...

do you mind me asking what happened?

He passed away.

Oh.

I'm so sorry to hear that, Michelle.

But I got a feeling

that you were an amazing mom

and that he loved you so much.

Thank you, baby.

Thank you, baby.

Yeah. Yeah. Elizabeth Carter is her name.

Jason was her son.

He killed himself.

All this info is in the message. I'm sending it to you right now.

But this one is crazy!

We got her.

What's going on?

What's going--

what's going on?

Diana here. Please. Kevin!

Dustin! Kevin! Dustin! Dustin!

Chris and Janet were having an affair?

It would seem so.

The last text message that Chris sent

was to Janet.

And you can insinuate that, yes,

they were having an affair.

So my best friend killed himself

because he was having an affair with my ex-wife?

That doesn't make any sense.

-I'm so sorry, baby. -Yeah.

I know. Uh, there is a suicide note.

What did it say?

I could read it for you if you want me to.

-Oh, please don't. -No, please, detective.

Read it.

Now the letter's in evidence,

but I have a copy of it right here.

-Please. -It says,

"I'm sorry for being a failure. Kevin,

I'm a horrible friend.

I was in love with Janet and knew that it couldn't be,

and the guilt from the affair was killing me.

And I loved Kim, but I couldn't give her everything she needed

because I loved Janet more, which is why she left me.

It's all just too hard on her.

I'm sorry I let everyone down."

It's okay, honey. It's okay.

I'm so sorry.

Now I do have to ask,

since this happened in your home,

we would like to know where you guys were

around 2:00 to 3:00 AM last night.

I was here asleep.

Dustin was at his friend's house and Diana was out of town.

Out of town?

Do you mind if I ask where you were, Ms. Valdez?

Not at all, detective.

I was in Sacramento, picking out floral arrangements.

We're getting married.

Why are our whereabouts of any

concern to you, detective?

Just doing my job.

My best friend took his own life!

And now you're questioning me?

I think it's time you leave, detective.

Detective, please give our family time to grieve.

Yeah. No problem. And, uh, if you guys need anything,

I'm a call away.

Kevin, I just heard what happened.

Are you okay?

What?

You slut!

Get the hell off my property before I call the police.

What?

You were sleeping with Chris.

He killed himself because of you!

What the hell are you talking about?

I never touched Chris.

Liar!

You're the reason he's dead!

That's the reason you came out here, for him!

It was never about me or Dustin.

That is not true!

You've caused this family enough drama.

You should leave, Janet.

What did she tell you?!

I didn't tell him anything.

Chris left a note.

It's all there, Janet.

And I think you're caught

and it is time for you to leave like Kevin said,

or we can call the cops.

This is all your fault.

You know I wasn't sleeping with Chris.

I didn't even know he was here until I came out here.

You did this.

You did this because you knew he was investigating you!

Leave, Janet!

Now!

I can't take any more of your lies.

You heard him. Leave.

This is not over, Diana.

If that's even your real name.

I am so sorry, Kevin,

but you shouldn't trust her.

This is not over!

Not over!

- Dustin, go to your room. -

-But mom-- -Go!

Are you okay, baby?

I can't believe she'd do that to me.

And then deny it.

It's not an easy thing to admit.

Sleeping with your best friend.

Who knows how long it's been going on.

And she had the nerve to show up here

pretending to wanna fix things.

As if she hadn't already hurt me enough,

she goes and does this.

And Chris,

I mean we've been best friends since high school.

It's okay, baby. You have me now, baby.

And I will never hurt you.

We're a family.

Hey, I was thinking,

why don't we just go get married at the courthouse?

I mean, we don't need a big wedding after all.

I'm sorry, Diana, but right now,

my mind can't think about a wedding.

Regardless if he was a snake or not,

he's still my best friend.

And he's dead.

I just need some time to process that.

Baby, you can't just sit here in your own misery.

That makes things worse.

We really have to stay focus on what's important,

our family and us being happy.

How could you be so selfish, Diana?

Can't you see I'm grieving?

I just need some time alone right now.

I understand.

Just don't turn your back on people who actually love you.

Hey, mom, you okay?

Mommy's fine.

I wanted to apologize to you for getting upset with you earlier.

It's just a lot going on.

It's okay. I understand.

What happened with Uncle C?

Chris was extremely sad, honey.

And sometimes, when people are sad,

they tend to not wanna be here anymore.

Mom, I'm not 10, I know about death.

But I also know that it's deeper than that.

Was Uncle C smashing my moms behind my dad's back?

Be real with me.

Well, I guess you are old enough to know the truth.

Unfortunately, yes,

Janet and Chris were having an affair.

Do you think dad killed Uncle C because he found out?

Oh, no.

Your father wouldn't hurt anyone.

In fact, it wasn't until Chris killed himself that

he found out about the affair.

I hate that woman!

All she ever does is cause me and my pops pain.

I know I feel myself wishing that it was her instead.

Is that wrong?

Listen, son.

There's nothing wrong with having feelings.

And sometimes, we have feelings that are not so good.

What's important is what we do with those emotions

and not letting it get the best of us

and that we end up doing something stupid.

I know that.

But it still doesn't change the way I feel.

I wish that woman was gone.

Come here.

Don't worry.

Me, too.

Go wash up.

Hello?

-Janet? -Who's this?

It's Jeff Jones over at the PR firm.

I was working with Chris before he died

on this case about some Diana chick.

Hey, I got some information on her

and I sent over to him the night he died.

Yes, yes.

Chris mentioned that he has someone looking into her.

Her name is Elizabeth Carter.

You guys might be in some trouble.

What kind of trouble?

Look, the woman is a murderer.

What?

Really?

Don't go do anything stupid

or try to warn Kevin.

-Just stay put. -Okay.

Anything could set this woman off.

Call Detective Stinger.

- Okay. Yes. - Yeah.

I'll text you the number right now.

Okay. Oh, my God.

Oh, my God. Oh, God.

Answer, answer, answer, answer.

Kevin! Diana is not who she said she is.

Her name is Elizabeth Carter! And she's a murderer!

Look, don't be obvious, but I need you to get

Dustin and I need you get out of the house now!

Stinger.

Hello, Detective Stinger.

My name is Janet. I'm a friend of Detective Jeff.

You said Elizabeth Carter?

Yeah. All right. We're on our way. We got her!

Let's not count our chickens before they hatch.

We really gotta make sure we got her this time.

Hi, bitch.

Give it up, Elizabeth.

Yeah, I know who you really are.

And Kevin also knows who you are,

and the police are on their way. So just give it up!

You can't have your family back!

You are messing with the wrong family.

What is she talking about, Diana?

Murderer?

And who is Elizabeth Carter?

And what happened to your face?

I can explain.

Frank?

How are you even here right now?

I killed you!

You killed me?

No, you tried to kill me

but my son, my son saved me.

Oh, Eddie.

I really loved you,

but Scott,

he ruined everything!

What are you talking about, Diana?

Who's Frank? And where's Janet?

Why did she send me this message?

Diana?

Who's Diana?

Oh, that's me.

Ken...

I really tried to make things work.

This is Kevin, baby.

My name's Kevin.

Kevin, Ken,

it's all the same thing.

And honestly, doesn't matter anyway

because you're all gonna die.

Frank...

you'll never be able to get out of this.

You know what, Frank?

Don't you think it's a little bit too late for all that?

I had to get rid of your friend, Chris.

I taught him how to hang himself.

You killed Chris?

You cannot bring back my boy, Frank.

Jason was the only good thing I had, Frank!

Diana, Diana, I'm not Frank, okay?

Baby, listen to me.

Please just untie me.

Please.

Baby, please.

-Untie me. -Just shut up.

Just shut up. The damage is done.

You cannot fix this!

This fire is so hot.

Mom, what the hell are you doing?

You did enough, mom.

You gotta stop this.

-What are you looking at? -Shut up!

Jason.

You have to stop with the killings.

Please, mom, it's over. You gotta let him go.

I did everything I could, baby.

Momma's not gonna kill no more.

Except for him.

He's gotta die.

Leave my dad alone!

I'm your mother!

No, you're not!

'Cause I am.

Information from Jeff.

Thank you.

I called Detective Stinger, but she got to me first.

So let me get this straight.

Your wife shot her.

You guys leave the room,

and when you get back she's gone?

Look, for the last time, yes!

I don't know where she went.

We thought she was dead.

Sounds familiar.
