Hello.

Hey, babe.

Then we closed the deal.

Let me get you another. Yeah, sure.

Hey, have you seen Patrice? I wanted to, um... She's with Keith.

What are we going to do about her?

I'm getting another drink.

I mean it.

What can we do? I don't know.

But if our motto is loyalty has no limits, then she can't get away with

Latrice is one of us.

She broke our code.

Kicking her out is the least we could do.

Don't worry, I'll get it.

I need to get with her now.

You see Sarah's gorgeous cooking?

It'll be okay, Sarah.

You see...

It

was an accident.

I don't think I heard that right.

Head of marketing.

Okay.

Predator Ridge is a five -star resort. I'm just a department manager, but I'd

willing to... Oh, I don't know what to say.

Um... Okay, when would I start?

That's quick.

Just have to find a place to live and... Even better.

Okay, great. Thank you so much, Sarah.

Okay. Bye -bye.

I'm so proud of you!

So they're going to fly me up next week for just like a formal meet and greet.

And if I like it, everything's good, we start packing.

And here, check this out. There's a house available on Sarah Street. She's

sending me the... Whoa.

Wow. Can we afford that?

Well, it's rent -to -own.

And with my salary, we'll convert it to mortgage in no time.

This is going to be really good for us, just to get away from... That's over.

And it was never... I know.

But this is a chance to take Jilly somewhere new and start over.

It'll be better than counseling.

And it's a whole resort community.

It's got a lake, a clubhouse.

It's got a three -star restaurant for members.

You can take friends for lunch at my club.

I can make friends.

You will.

Maybe even at work.

No, Jilly needs me.

She doesn't. She's fine. The new doctor said so.

I don't really make friends well, and I'm out of practice, and my

anxiety is worse. Listen, it might take a minute to get to know you, but once

someone does...

They'll find you as amazing as I do.

A minute?

Maybe less.

And you'll have a lot of time for friends because Jilly will be going to a

-rated school.

School?

Alone? Yes.

It's time, honey.

No more homeschooling.

She needs this, okay? And she'll be so excited.

Here, let's tell her. Jilly!

Jilly, honey!

Easy. I got it.

Got it?

Got it.

We should have left more behind.

Why? We have more room here than we've ever had.

Maybe this will be our last move.

I would think the same thing.

Hey, where is... Boo!

Whoa.

That was scary.

You said when we found a forever home, we could.

Oh, you remembered that, hey?

Why don't we get settled first?

That's not a no.

Not a no.

The last month.

We've been so busy with the move.

But to clarify, we don't have to respond.

Yes, that's right. No interest in opening it up.

Okay.

Yeah, thank you.

Hey, Jilly.

Are you and Mary Alice ready to go run some errands? I'll get her. Okay.

An investigator's been calling Kendra about Jilly. The timing.

It's like they know she's better.

Okay, well, we should stay.

They gave her up, Jack.

Like she was defective.

I don't want them anywhere near her.

She's ours now.

Can't wait for school.

You know, I was thinking, maybe let's not tell people right away that you're

adopted. Why? I like my story.

Yeah, and it's our special story.

We don't want to just share it with anybody. We want to know them all, you

Okay.

Okay. Wow, look at that.

And you know what? It's going to be lots of fun because neither of us knows

anybody, so we can help each other make friends. This is really pretty.

Do you want to go inside and try it on?

Jilly?

Jilly?

Mary Alice.

Jilly! Where did you go?

I lost Mary Alice.

I'm glad that you found her, honey, but you can't just run off without telling

me like that.

I told her the same thing.

Thank you.

I'm Anita.

Oh, I'm sorry, Marty. I found Mary Alice on the ground and... I dropped her when

we got our treat.

Julie was frantic, but I told her it's best to stay put and you'd come.

Marty's our neighbor.

And your landlord.

I was going to drop off your copy of the rental agreement later.

And also tell you that the Wives Club would love to throw you a party. A

To welcome you. Joy has the perfect backyard and Sarah has a daughter

age. Her name's Amy.

What is the Wives Club?

Just a group of friends.

Sarah's husband, Keith, gave us the name.

I'll talk to my husband about it.

I'm sorry. I must be keeping you. I'll reach out with Dave soon.

Okay.

Okay, come on.

Bye. Bye.

I'm

afraid

the previous owners didn't leave you much.

Yeah?

No surprise blooms if I give it a year?

Sorry to be a buzzkill, but she left too much space.

Didn't plant enough indigenous stuff.

And no pollinators.

No pollinators?

Who would rent to a person like that?

Well, my wife.

Ethan Turner.

You met Marty today?

Anita.

Sorry, I was trying to make a joke, but it was stupid.

You're right. Terrible judgment. What kind of person doesn't plant

Well, a person like me.

But you just said... I told you. Bad joke.

I'm deathly allergic to bees.

Literal buzzkill.

Well, then this place is perfect for you.

Hey. Ethan Turner. Across the street. Jack Nyman.

Don't forget we have dinner with Hank tonight. His mom will be here at seven.

Are you sure Jillian will be all right with her?

Me? It's one hour before bed.

I'm with a grandmother.

It'll be fine.

But we've never met her.

Yeah. She's never been with a sitter.

Grandma's know what they're doing.

Congrats on the job, by the way.

Thanks.

You think it's nice?

Yeah. I wanted you to make friends, but it wasn't exactly what I had in mind.

She's just not used to that many kids.

Our kids love the school.

Plenty to keep them busy and out of your hair.

Oh, well, I don't really... Annie, I think he's kidding.

Yeah. Well, what does Judy like?

Well, right now she's really into playing the cello.

The music department at first rate.

And bullying?

Are there any... Anita, come on. Well, that would never be tolerated.

Honestly, Predator Ridge is the safest place in the world.

With a name like that?

Well, no human predators.

Unless you don't talk about the Admiral Court Wives Club, right, Hank? Bonnie,

listen. And ladders.

We used to live in Admiral Court, but now we have a bigger house in Captain's

Circle. And thank goodness, because, well... Bonnie.

Such a scandal with those wives. Bonnie.

Well, I... I just want to say it really is a pleasure to work at such a stunning

resort. I mean, this truly, truly is a dream job, and you'll be happy you hired

me. Well, Sarah gets all the credit.

Hank, I've got your man, she said.

How many people did he beat out?

None. Been using her firm for years. I trust her judgment.

Oh, then I guess I should ask for more money.

I like you, Jack.

Welcome aboard.

Thanks for having me.

But no competition at all for a prestigious position like that.

I love your faith in me, honey.

I have mountains of faith in you, but that's because I know you.

They don't know you, and you've never been a department head.

I don't know.

Sarah did Hank a favor.

And us.

She kind of just sounds like a good friend, don't you think?

You're right.

You're going to slay this job.

I don't know about business. It's probably not even weird.

Thank you.

You know what is weird?

The way Hank shut Bonnie up. What was that?

Anita. A scandal happens in our neighborhood and you don't even want to

about it a little bit?

Honey, I say this with love, but gossiping isn't the best way to make

okay?

Yeah, but... Honestly, honey, let's just forget we even heard it.

It's probably nothing anyway.

Okay? Yeah, come on.

And here you are, hon.

Thank you, Andy.

You okay?

It's four years tomorrow.

Why don't you go play, honey?

The time of year, the weather.

This party feels too much like that one. I think about her, too.

All the time.

But it is best to put it behind us.

Really, it is risky even to talk about it.

Never too late for someone to ruin our lives.

Instant friends.

Amy hasn't had a friend her age on the street since... Well, for a long time.

I haven't met Keith yet.

Your husband?

Anita. He passed almost three years ago.

Oh.

Marty mentioned him, but not... Forgive me. I'm so sorry for your loss.

This all means a lot to me.

The house, the party, Jack's job.

How did you choose him?

I've had my recruitment firm for ten years. I'm good at my job. Right.

It's such a big job.

He deserves it, doesn't he?

Of course.

Sorry.

The fresh start is good.

Great, really.

Fresh start?

I mean, Jack worked long hours.

He worked hard.

A work widow.

Keith was a politician, married to me, devoted to his constituents.

Julie was sick.

For a while. A lot of time at the hospital. Her doctor and I got close.

Jack... You didn't... No.

Nothing like that.

But we were friends.

Jack worried it was more.

It wasn't, but still.

I'm going to go check on Amy.

That was a lot, wasn't it?

My whole life was taking care of Jilly.

How's Jilly now?

She's great.

As long as she takes her meds, I still worry.

I was pretty sick myself for a few years.

I'm okay now, but it's always in my head.

Jack says it's time to let Jilly live her life.

It's tough to let yourself live without fear.

I'm here.

Who taught Jack to play croquet?

His dad.

Very young.

Well, I'm up next, and I won't be holding my breath.

You having a good time?

Yeah. It's just...

A lot of new people.

I get nervous and then I talk too much and then I share my whole life story.

You don't need to be nervous.

I'm better one -on -one.

One -on -one's perfect.

What?

No.

He adores Marty.

He adored his other wives, too.

Anita and Jack seem very happy.

She just told us she had an emotional affair with her daughter's doctor.

Counting that history repeats itself.

Have you seen Jilly?

Last I saw, she was with Amy.

Oh.

Sorry to eavesdrop.

I took Amy and Jilly inside to see my studio and gave them paints to work

We're all like family, but it should have occurred to me that you'd worry.

I'm sorry.

It's fine.

Do you mind if I get some water from your kitchen?

Is the cooler out?

There's tons more in the garage.

I left the grill going.

Do you mind grabbing it?

Of course.

I don't know how that happened.

You okay?

I'm fine.

I'm okay.

Jilly looks just like you.

A lot of people say that.

We were just talking about her favorite movie.

And she talked your ear off?

Not at all.

She's a great kid.

Joy did this?

Incredible, right?

I have no talent.

You're great at talking to people.

I'd take that over playing piano any day.

I never really thought of it that way.

Thank you.

Who's this?

Patrice. This was the Wives Club five years ago.

I was such a baby then.

They took me in.

They're the most loyal friends I've ever had.

Where's Patrice now?

Gone.

I should see if Joey needs anything.

You can't panic any time someone goes in your garage.

She's touching the ladder. The ladder can't talk, Joy.

I don't even know why you keep this stupid thing.

It's Andy's, and he fixed it. What was I supposed to do?

What if Bonnie Bishop told her something? She hates us. Nobody listens

Bonnie. But we need to keep an eye on Anita.

I know Andy doesn't like people going in his garage.

What?

Are you having fun, Anita?

Jack is beating everyone at croquet.

I heard.

I'm sorry.

Andy needs to be dethroned. But I'm sorry he closed the garage on you.

Andy, but I... Can I get you anything?

What if there's cookies, maybe? Or Joy and I were just saying, we would love

to join the wives club.

Really? We think it's a great idea.

I told Joy when I saw you moving in, she looks like a good friend.

I only freaked out a little bit when I saw Mary Alice.

I had you in my head saying, Irrational, Anita.

Jelly's just having fun and distracted.

And she's too old for dolls now, according to her new friend, Amy.

No.

She really does need friends, doesn't she?

Well, she has one, so let's start.

I asked Sarah about recruiting you.

She never really did answer me. You still don't have faith in me.

No, I do.

It's just everything feels so... I called Kendra and asked if she'd gotten

any more calls. Wait, I thought you told Kendra we weren't interested.

I did.

But the investigator called her every other day for a month.

That's not just someone who gives up.

Okay. Well, what did Kendra say?

The call stopped.

Jack, what if the investigator is trying something new?

What if... Oh, my gosh. What if the call stops because he already knows we're

here?

This house, your job, these great neighbors, and the perfect friend for

What if we were brought here for a reason?

I think we were.

Really? Yeah.

To be happy.

And, if we're happy, I thought we could talk about getting Julie some company.

A cat?

Well, I meant sibling.

Cat is cheaper, but I meant sibling.

Really? Yeah.

Okay.

I'll start collecting applications tomorrow.

Okay. Oh, I forgot to tell you.

They asked me to join the wives club.

Wow.

Look at you. Julie's not the only one making friends.

That's great.

But Bonnie said... I wouldn't listen to Bonnie.

Like, I'll deny it if he gets back to her.

But I think she's just jealous that she wasn't invited in the club. The wives

club.

So Joy and I invited her in.

Already? We had to.

Joy messed up with the whole garage.

Covered it.

But Anita was also upset Joy took the girls inside without her asking.

She watches Julie like a hawk. It won't be a problem.

So long as we go out of our way to make her feel comfortable.

And safe.

Then Hank got promoted to GM and we bought the house on Captain Circle.

Let's do dinner soon.

Hank loves showing off his outdoor kitchen.

Outdoor kitchen?

I'm so pinching myself that we could own the house we live in. Oh, you will.

Hank says that Jack is fantastic.

He'll climb up that.

We don't really want to relocate for another promotion.

It's been hard on Jilly.

And us. Well, if Jack is as good as Hank says he is, then sit back and don't

rock the boat.

Is it rocking the boat if I ask about... You want the scandal dirt, right?

Well, Hank doesn't like me to talk about it because he adores Sarah, so this

lunch never happened.

Jack wouldn't like it either, so that's fine by me.

Now that is the kind of secret that us women should keep.

Are the wives keeping secrets?

A few years back, down the street, at a party,

one of those wives... Patrice?

Bingo! Yeah.

She was climbing a ladder to get a frisbee.

the story that they gave, but the police said it was an accident.

They didn't want me in their little club.

Well, if loyalty has no limits, means murder.

Well, then they can keep it.

Oh, my gosh.

I can't have things like this at the house where Ethan is.

If Andy ate my chocolate, I'd hire a divorce lawyer.

Sometimes it doesn't even take that. If he leaves his socks out one more time...

Anita, I see him hovering in your garden. Is he driving you crazy yet?

He's not bothering me. Well, let me know if he does. I love him.

But I'm like, I don't even need a baby anymore because I'm already raising a

child.

I don't mean that.

Oh, come on.

Anita, every married woman has planned her divorce at least once.

Jack and I are in a much better place, but our rough patch is way too recent

me to joke about.

Oh, we don't mean to be insensitive.

New subject.

Now that you're not homeschooling, are you going back to work?

Social work, right?

Um... I'm not sure. We might need some time to adjust.

Was it really just you taking care of Jilly? No family around?

I'm an only child.

Jack has a brother, but he and his wife live a few hours away.

Are they Jilly's guardians?

What?

Well, ever since Keith died, my biggest fear is something happening

to me.

So I locked up Joy and Andy as legal guardians.

Not family?

The Wives Club is family.

I guess we just assumed family would take Jilly if anything were to happen.

So there's no paperwork?

I'm my niece's guardian, but we haven't done the paperwork either.

Do not take anything for granted.

Enough. We're supposed to be celebrating.

Let's make Anita official.

Which means you swear your undying loyalty to the Wives Club.

Loyalty with no limit.

Like an oath?

In blood.

She's joking.

Okay, there's no blood.

Surprise.

Your TWC pin.

The women's circle.

Together we conquer.

The wives club.

You guys made this quickly.

No, we didn't. It was the former members.

Patrice? How did you know? She saw your painting.

I know we will all love you as much as we loved her.

Don't you ever wear gloves?

I like to feel the dirt.

Nature in my hand.

Dirty nails don't go with the soup.

Just scrub with vinegar and lemon juice.

Oh yeah?

You'll thank me.

Honey?

Have you seen my blue tie?

He's just a talker.

Yeah, well, do you have to be in the garden every time he goes to work?

You're serious.

I... Even after counseling...

When I see you talking with guys who look like that, I don't know.

It still bothers me.

We're fine.

I promise.

The Wives Club is all women.

But I do have something I want to tell you about them.

Last night after you fell asleep, I looked up Patrice.

Sarah saw everything.

And Patrice's husband Adrian moved because he was scared.

What if there's more to this, Jack?

I'm sure it's nothing. I don't know. I don't have time to get into it.

Okay, I'll be home late.

What time is late?

I don't know.

Eight, nine. I'll call you. You just started this job and you're already

too much.

I'm trying to make a good first impression.

That's what happens when you start a new job.

We said that this move would be different. We would be different.

Different? Really?

Then try not being in the garden every time Ethan goes to work.

The morning... is better for gardening.

It can't be five minutes later?

Ten minutes later?

He goes to work at different times. I don't plan it. Yeah, well, maybe he

Did you ever think about that?

You don't trust me. No, it's not.

I gotta go. I can't do this, okay?

No, don't.

Amy!

Benjamin does not leave his cage when you're outside.

She's obsessed with that thing.

Anyway, I was basically saying, if you're worried, join PTA.

That's how I keep an eye on things.

Are moms of only children just more anxious?

Especially when they're hard to have.

Amy was IVF.

And a twin.

But it vanished.

In utero.

They say it happens sometimes.

Does Amy know?

I don't want her to feel any more lonely.

You know how it is with only children.

I do.

I'm so glad ours found each other.

Hey, Julie is perfect.

She feels like family already.

I get excited now that you're in the club.

We're picky, but we like you.

Which means I have to say something you might not want to hear.

That doesn't sound good.

I've seen Ethan hanging around outside your house.

I hope he's not being a pest.

He's curious about my garden plan.

I'm sure he is.

But Marty worries.

Being with his second wife didn't stop him with her, so... Oh.

And given what you told me about you and Julie's doctor... Oh, oh no. Jack and I

are great.

Good.

You're a Wives Club member now.

We look out for each other.

Okay.

So, why didn't anyone tell me what happened to Patrice?

Well, at first Marty was worried you wouldn't take the house.

And Joy was worried you would feel bad taking her spot if you knew. And none of

us wanted you to think badly about the neighborhood we all love so much.

Thank you.

After counseling with Jack, I appreciate honesty.

I don't want us to be friends that keep things from each other.

I know this sounds weird coming from me now, but we are not those friends.

The Y Club is built on trust.

It's Joy and Marty.

Your dessert looks beautiful.

I bought it at Sweet Jamie's and put it on my own plate.

Sarah knows, but she pretends she doesn't.

Appearances, right?

You're so lucky.

Do you want a kiss?

Oh my gosh, I'm sorry.

You don't have to answer that. I hated when people asked me that.

I froze eggs.

Because of my illness.

But seeing what Tara went through to have Amy, I don't think I could do that.

There's always adoption.

Guarantee me a perfect Joey and I'm all in.

What do you mean?

Oh, I thought she... Never mind.

I got mixed up.

I would adopt.

My social work was mostly in the foster system, and there's such a need.

Kids abandoned for being too much or sick.

I could help you.

Really? Jack and I have been talking about it.

That's wonderful.

I'm sure Jilly would love a sibling.

I hope you know how much we adore her.

It's been Amy since Patrice.

Patrice had kids?

Emily.

We were brokenhearted when they moved.

I know about Patrice.

Sarah and I talked.

I'm so sorry we didn't say anything. I hate keeping secrets.

Where's Emily now?

Can't you see her?

They just seem to vanish.

Not long after, I heard a rumor that Adrian, Patrice's husband, passed.

I miss Emily.

I'm sorry her death was so hard on all of you.

Especially poor Sarah.

Imagine seeing something like that.

What do you mean?

Sarah saw Patrice fall.

No, no, none of us saw it.

Oh, I must have misread that.

Oh, you know what?

You're right.

I didn't see it, but Sarah did.

It's been so long.

Details fade.

Of course.

Excuse me.

But if Joy and I heard them arguing, they are getting too close.

Do you trust Anita?

I trust Ethan.

I think he's talking about Patrice.

Anita was asking me about her.

What have you told him?

Nothing. But he didn't become a successful developer by being stupid.

That is too big a rift.

Don't worry.

Joy and I will deal with it.

I won't let Ethan hurt you.

You ready to take these out?

Did you hear something?

Just me.

Bathroom break?

Oh, the guest bath is gurgling.

Use the one upstairs.

rational.

He's grasped at pulling it out.

Nita? What are you

doing in here?

Going to the bathroom.

In my bedroom?

I meant the hall.

I'm sorry.

I really had to go, and this is such a beautiful view.

Your dessert's melting.

You know, I just remembered I left laundry in the machine, so I'm just

grab Dilly and head home. She's welcome to stay here.

I'll bring her back later. We planned to go through her clothes this afternoon

just to see what else she's outgrown.

Maybe after.

Maybe. Yeah.

What happened?

Anita just grabbed Jilly and left.

She's skittish.

We need to ease off.

Maybe we've gone too far.

If she's keeping Jilly from us, maybe we haven't gone far enough.

But not yet.

We need time to make her feel comfortable again.

I can't be sure, but I think I saw her snooping in my bedroom.

What could she even find in there? Nothing incriminating, but what is she

looking for at all?

We need to keep Ethan... quiet.

Hi, is this Vincent Adams?

Yes.

I'm calling from Safara Solutions.

A little late.

Excuse me? You never return my phone calls. Many, many phone calls. Oh, no,

me. I'm an assistant calling with a follow -up satisfaction survey.

It will just take a minute.

birthing room for crying out loud?

Your daughter is seven, right?

Why does that even matter for a construction job?

Construction job?

Then I don't even get a call back?

I'm sorry.

Consider me not satisfied.

Of course. But Mr. Adam... Mr. Adam... Vincent?

Hi!

Dinner is in the oven.

Okay, who was that?

Nobody.

PTA.

Do you want some wine?

Sure.

Is this the PTA, too?

Do I ask where you saw this or why you took a picture of it?

That's one of Sarah's work files.

I didn't answer none of my questions.

Sarah told Hank you asked why she recommended me?

I told you I did. At the party.

It wasn't a big deal.

Well, Sarah made it seem like a big deal today.

Hank grilled me for an hour this morning and practically had to beg for my job

back. You did, right?

Well, that's not the point.

We have a great thing going here. This is what we wanted.

I can't have you undermining my boss's trust in me.

You know I didn't mean to do that.

Yeah.

And when were you going to tell me you took Bonnie for lunch at the club?

It was kind of last minute. I haven't had a chance.

And I thought you wanted me to take friends for lunch at our club. Friends,

That's my boss's wife.

He brought it up today. I had to pretend like I knew what he was talking about.

I didn't look like an idiot.

I'm sorry.

It's fine.

But I was right about her, by the way.

Hank said that she talked smack about the wives club because they wouldn't let

her in.

Did Hank tell you what else happened?

There used to be another Wives Club member who lived in this house.

She's dead now because she fell from a ladder at Joy's house.

Yeah, he mentioned it. It was an accident.

How do you prove an accident?

Lack of evidence to suggest otherwise.

Bonnie thinks the Wives killed her.

Bonnie thinks the wives killed her?

Are you kidding me?

Did you not just hear what I said?

The police ruled it an accident.

And Bonnie comes up with this crazy conspiracy. Her own husband said not to

believe anything she says.

Can I show you what I found in Sarah's bedroom today?

It's...

Sarah's bedroom. You're snooping through bedrooms now. She has files. There's a

file on you.

I'm her client.

There's a picture of Patrice and there's... Kate, stop, stop, stop.

Listen to me, please.

Hank told me he's eyeing me to be his replacement when he retires in a couple

years. That's general manager knee.

All our moves, everything we've sacrificed, this, this, that's what it's

I can't let you do anything to ruin that.

Bonnie mentioned it to me, but to have Hank say it, that's very exciting.

And one word from Sarah stops that like a bullet.

So please, no more fanciful intrigue about murderous wives.

Okay.

Okay.

Joy invited Joey to make cookies at her house with Sarah and Amy.

Oh, that's nice.

They didn't invite me.

I mean, they said I was welcome to join, but they thought I could use some time

to myself or to go buy some new clothes.

Well, that's great.

What's wrong with my clothes?

Nothing's wrong with your clothes.

I think they just probably think you like shopping as much as they do.

They gush about Joey.

She's amazing. She's incredible.

The Joy and Sarah said she's perfect.

They adore her. I don't even think they like me.

No, stop it.

You're being too hard on yourself.

I'm proud of you for putting yourself out there, even with Bonnie.

I think I've been pushing you too hard.

I'm trying so hard for you not to be anxious about Jilly that you're

transferring that anxiety to the people that can help you with it.

Like I'm creating a problem so I don't have to let go?

That's not rational.

It'll get better.

How can I help?

Listening helps.

Oh, you missed.

Toothpaste.

Time, honey.

You got a friend.

Everything's going to be fine.

Hi, Joy.

Hi.

Tilly.

You ready to make the best cookies at the club bake sale?

Chocolate?

Could they be a hit if they weren't?

What do you think we are?

Amy's not here yet, but you can go inside.

I'll be there in a minute.

Thanks for doing this.

I'll see you in a few hours.

Okay.

Before they're in the cookie?

Always.

You want to know a secret?

I'm a terrible baker.

Without Amy's mom helping me, my cookies are the worst.

There's no such thing as bad cookies.

Do you miss your old home?

No. My new one's so much bigger.

I want a pool like you.

Hello.

Marty!

Okay, if I crash your cookie party, Sarah and Amy will be here any minute,

we'll have a nice long visit with Jilly.

Mrs. Primo gave me chocolate chips.

Want one?

Thank you.

Are we still doing that Mrs. thing, Joy? It is not the 1950s.

My mom says it's respect.

Okay, well, please disrespect me at least for another couple years.

Jilly was just telling me how much she loves her new house.

Because of the secret hiding place?

What secret hiding place?

Well, you're going to have to look inside your closet.

All these houses have them.

Cool. I used to hide Andy's Christmas presents in there.

Until Keith gave me away.

Not fair. I cannot do that.

I can.

Are you following me?

is a completely flat.

That's awful.

And auto pronto will take at least another 90 minutes.

I'm meeting Andy, but Sarah and Marty are both here. One of them will be happy

to take Jilly till you get back.

You're the best.

I thought this was a safe area. I haven't even been here a week and I've

the police.

You called the police?

Yeah, they're on their way.

Are you sure you want to do that?

I mean, If it's just a kid. Kids will be kids, you know?

He had a knife.

But he didn't hurt you.

And you're okay, you said?

You think I'm overreacting?

You don't want to give some poor kid a record.

Okay, I guess I could call and tell him I changed my mind.

I think that's what I would do.

Well, anyway, I owe you one.

There's no owing.

Loyalty has no limit.

Always.

Anita? Hank, what are you doing here?

To really understand his property, a good GM doesn't just play rounds of

Today, I'm playing restaurant manager.

My hostess tells me you're asking about one of our busboys.

Your description sounds like Luke Morse.

Is Luke here? May I speak to him?

He was supposed to work today, but he hasn't shown.

Is anything wrong?

No, I just hope he's not in trouble again.

Trouble? What kind of trouble?

Not my business to discuss.

But I did vouch for him.

Gave him a job and now this.

Know any teenagers looking for work?

No. Do you have an address for Luke?

I'm not able to share that. You understand.

Does he live in Predator Ridge? I'm sorry, but I've got to get back to work.

But Jack's due here for lunch. Shall we grab you a two -top? Let's not bother

him.

Actually, don't even mention I was here.

Okay.

I wish Amy was in my class.

I'm really sorry she's not.

Her birthday is one day after mine, so we're like twins.

Twins have the same birthday. Not if one is born before midnight and the other

after.

I wish we were real twins.

You could never be a twin, sweetie.

You're one of a kind.

When am I going to get a real sister?

I'd even take a brother.

We're working on it.

This one?

I want blue.

Oh, why didn't you say so?

Now I can wear the friendship bracelet Amy made me.

What's that?

My secret cupboard.

Marty and Mrs. Primo told me all the houses have them.

I think that's cool.

She even told me she was afraid of pigeons and said I was a cool grown -up.

For once, being around a kid didn't make me feel sad.

Come to bed, sweetie.

In a sec.

She said I'd make a great mom. Can you believe that?

It made me have hope.

Never give up hope.

Marty?

What, no kiss?

Honey, I am really late. I gotta run, but love you.

Bye.

Morning.

Hey.

No suit and tie.

We're playing hooky.

Who's we?

Sarah, Joy, Andy, and, uh, you.

Best part of kids being in school.

How's Julie liking it?

She's having an easier time than I am, I think.

Where's Marty?

Oh, she's got one of those real estate caravans.

She'll meet us later. She insists you join us.

I really shouldn't.

Not bad, Turner.

Yeah, so it's the highest building in the city.

I could take you up there if you're not afraid of heights.

Don't ask me to repel off it, and that would be okay.

Okay. She's encouraging him.

What?

She's flirting with him, and that's a betrayal to her fellow wife club member.

That's a big leap.

Can't we just be done, Sarah?

Tell the truth and be... Ow!

It stabbed me. Don't forget what that pin means, Joy.

You can't go back now.

Look out!

Geez. Sarah, what are you doing?

Golf Safety 101.

No pretending you're a NASCAR driver.

Anita, I am so sorry. I didn't even realize.

Andy's right. I think my mind was just somewhere else.

It's okay.

I think I just need a minute.

Andy, thank you.

You're a hero.

You sure you're okay? Can I get you anything?

I'm fine.

All this attention makes me uncomfortable.

You deserve the attention.

50 incentive travel execs. That's like a royal flush of meeting planners.

Jeff?

Let's talk through some of the details.

All right.

Sorry.

Get me back there.

I was scared too.

Thanks for bringing me a good clean nap.

I'll be quick.

This is fun.

If we're going to live here, I need to get better at golf.

Well, the club has lessons. You can take them next season.

Or I can teach you.

Were Sarah and Patrice close?

Where did that come from?

Curiosity. She was a club member, but nobody wanted to talk about her.

Where are all these great memories?

Well, uh, they were close.

Until Sarah convinced herself that, uh, Patrice's baby was Keith's.

Whoa. Emily?

Crazy, right?

But, uh, to be continued.

We decide to pass on the next night.

Ladies want to get something to eat.

Fine by me.

Mario will be here soon anyway.

Okay, this is our chance.

I can't do this anymore.

No, we have to.

For Marty.

It's bad enough he's talking about Patrice, but did you see them?

I trust Anita.

Do you?

Why?

She's our friend. So is Patrice.

Why do you have that guardianship agreement?

What are you up to?

Seriously.

It's for Marty and her sister.

I'm done, Sarah. Hey.

Loyalty has no limits.

Let go of me. I'm sorry, but the Weiss Club has to stick together.

We can't have our secret get out.

Why don't we mix things up?

I'll ride with Ethan.

Anita, you can ride with Andy.

Enjoy.

You can ride alone.

Okay.

All right.

See you there?

Yeah.

You know, I'm really glad that Sarah stuck us together.

I've been wanting to thank you for talking to Joy about adoption. She's

more open to it.

Wouldn't it be so fun if we adopted babies at the same time?

Jack and I have started the process.

That'd be crazy.

Another set of Admiral twins.

Twins? Yeah, the wives used to call Amy and Emily twins because of their close

birthdays.

Wait, when was Emily born?

Hi. Hi.

Where's Ethan?

He went to get his wallet from the car. Maybe he ran into a friend?

Of course he did.

How was golf?

It was perfect.

Speak for yourself.

The weather was perfect.

He's not answering.

I'll go look for him.

I'm sorry I said perfect.

Anita, I didn't mean... Let's forget the whole embarrassing thing.

What happens on the course and all that.

Of course.

I'm really sorry.

I'd never forgive myself if I... Sarah!

Maybe we shouldn't touch anything.

What did you do to my husband?

Me? Nothing.

Then you?

She said you'd take care of it. What did you do?

We talked to him, Marty. That's all.

Put that down. No, I don't believe you.

You said he was asking too many questions about Patrice, and you took

him just like you took care of her.

She's just upset. You don't know what you're saying, Marty. You are our best

friend. So was Patrice. I'm sure Ethan is fine. We just have to go look for

This is not fine.

What are you doing?

Calling the police.

That good, huh?

It's beautiful, and I appreciate you.

I just can't eat.

You're too worried about Ethan.

On date night.

No, I'm too worried about what Marty said about Joey and Sarah taking care of

Ethan the way that they took care of Patrice.

People say crazy things when they're scared.

All the articles I've read about Patrice... Wait.

Did you say all the articles?

I thought you were letting this go.

I had to know.

They all say that Sarah saw her fall. But when I talk to Marty and Joy, they

no one saw.

They lied.

Or forgot.

Forgot.

Is that why Joy locked me in the garage at our welcome party when she saw me

looking at the ladder?

What? I thought you said you were locked in by accident.

I didn't want you to think I was overreacting.

There was a rung replaced.

What, you're supposed to do not fix it? The ladder's gone now.

Okay, I'm still not hearing anything nefarious.

Are you listening to me? I think they paid the busboy from the club to slash

tires and threaten me.

They're involved somehow.

If Sarah and Joy are dangerous, they could be brainwashing Jilly or worse.

Has Jilly said they've been anything but nice?

No. Okay.

But she can't be alone with them anymore.

What?

Why?

Remember when you found Mary Alice at the party and you thought to yourself,

there has to be a rational explanation for this.

Well, there has to be one for this, too.

There is.

What if Jilly is Patrice's daughter and they want her back?

I didn't even know Patrice had a daughter. Emily.

With both of her parents dead, she would have been put into the foster care

system around the same time that we got Jilly.

Okay, let me get this straight.

You think they engineered this entire thing to bring the kid back in the

neighborhood? I know it sounds insane, but... Well, I'm glad you think so.

Because you know what it sounds like to me?

Another excuse for you to be overprotective.

They want to hurt me, Jack.

The same way they hurt Patrice.

I'm not safe.

Mommy?

Jelly?

You talk to Marty today?

Mm -hmm.

Still nothing, but she's trying to stay positive.

I think that's the right thing to do.

It's only been 24 hours.

Do you mind if I head out for a bit?

I need to take my mind off everything and get some fresh air.

A little me day.

I think that's a great idea.

I'll take Jilly to the museum.

Oh, but I have to make a call.

Marty.

How you doing? Last night, I was lying in bed and I was just hoping he

left me for another woman.

At least then I know he's okay.

Isn't Nita here?

No, she's out, but I'm sure that's not the case. Is Jilly with her?

I came to see if I could take you to that new animated movie. I know she

them.

Oh, well, I was going to figure... Please, Jack.

I didn't mean to escape.

Jack? Jelly?

Hey.

Hi.

How you feeling?

You're back from the museum already?

Actually... Where's Jelly?

She had the movies with Marty.

What? I know, I know. But she came by here. She was a wreck.

I didn't have the heart to say no.

What theater did they go to?

Why didn't you call me? I didn't want to interrupt your me day.

You needed that.

And you should have seen her. I don't think you could have said no either. I

can't believe you.

After everything I told you, you let our daughter out of your sight?

The movie ended over an hour ago. Where

are they?

They could have kidnapped her.

Kidnapped?

Are you listening to yourself?

The woman's fearing for her husband's life. They could have followed her.

I have a bad feeling.

Call her. Jilly forgot her phone.

I've called Marty three times, and it keeps going to voicemail.

Something's wrong.

I don't think anything's wrong. I'm calling the police.

Just... Mom!

You forgot your phone. I was worried sick.

Mom, you're squeezing me.

The movie went a little later than we expected.

It was so good.

I tried to call you. I turned off my phone in the movie.

And then we went for ice cream.

Why didn't you call me?

I assumed Jack would let you know where we are.

I didn't mean to upset you, okay?

You're the only friend I have left. You haven't talked to Joy or Sarah?

No. Not until Ethan comes home safe and sound.

I'm sorry.

I'm overreacting about Jilly and you're the one...

Have you heard anything?

No.

I'm scared, Anita.

I'm here if you need anything.

Are you okay?

Is that for evidence, Jack?

Jack?

Amy misses Jilly.

Please don't keep her away from us too long.

The wives are so angry.

Sarah, most of all, of course.

I don't blame them, but I'm scared of what they might do to me for betraying

sacred loyalty.

Hey, sorry I'm late. Hank called.

What is going on?

We're moving.

We're not moving.

Well, then I'm moving. I won't stay here another minute.

Okay, what happened?

Someone put broken glass in the garden.

Oh, kid.

No.

No, Jack.

And Patrice wasn't an accident. And Ethan is probably dead.

Let's just calm down and talk about it, okay?

Where were you on Friday?

Work.

Friday, yeah.

Budget stuff. Long day.

You're lying.

You were at the club.

Yeah.

I had lunch with Hank at the club. What did you do, Jack?

Okay.

It's not what it looked like.

I'm waiting for your very rational explanation.

Okay, well, I was at the club with Hank.

And I saw you getting cozy with Ethan. I wasn't cozy with Ethan.

You were hugging. That looked cozy.

So, he went to his car and I just went to go talk to him.

With a golf club?

No.

No, not with a golf club.

I just told him to leave us alone because we were going through enough.

Okay, we shouted and said some things, but I swear on Jilly's life, I didn't

a hand on him, let alone a golf club.

You confronted him.

Are you sleeping with him, Anita?

Is this why you think the wives club is after you?

Because you did what Patrice did?

No.

And we're supposed to be building trust. How are we supposed to do that when

you're hanging out with Ethan all the time? You're working all hours.

Four.

Us. For them.

To build the life that we wanted.

I can't do this.

I'm with you right now. I gotta go for a drive.

The police just found Ethan's body in the woods.

Oh my goodness, that's awful.

We'll be right over.

It doesn't seem real.

Are you sure there's nothing I can do?

Call some people? It should be me.

I need a night to do it.

I'll make calls in the morning.

I understand.

Is Jack okay with you being here?

Jack is... not even home.

We got in a big fight and he went for a drive.

Over Ethan?

He doesn't believe me. But Marty, I swear, I never... I know.

I'll talk to Jack.

He'll believe me when I say I was never worried. You don't have to do that. You

have enough on your plate.

It's the least I can do.

You're a real friend. You're the only one I trust.

You don't really think Sarah and Joy had anything to do with... Yes, I do.

He got too close to the truth.

They killed Patrice because she had an affair with Keith.

They'll do anything to keep that quiet.

I got a text, kind of warning me to stay out of it.

Be careful of them.

Marty, is Jilly

Amy's half -sister?

What?

I just, I feel like we were brought here for a reason.

And as crazy as that seems, it's the only thing that makes sense.

I found Patrice's journal.

What?

Where? In my house.

She was scared.

I told the police everything I know. You need to show them that journal.

I will.

I should get Jelly to bed.

I forgot Jilly's meth.

Will you tell her I'll be back in a minute?

I just want to talk.

Don't hurt me. I promise I won't tell anyone.

Why would I hurt you? Because you hurt Ethan.

Ethan? I know Ethan's dead.

Ethan's dead?

Marty told me about Patrice.

What about Patrice?

That you and Sarah killed her for Keith.

Oh, Anita.

Patrice was sleeping with Keith and we were angry.

She threatened to blow up his political life if he didn't leave Sarah and Amy.

So you killed her?

No.

Keith was sicker than Sarah let on.

She begged us not to rob Amy of her last months with her father.

Keith killed Patrice.

We lied for him because...

Once he was gone, justice, right? So you all covered it up? Even Marty?

We made a pact to never tell.

Come on, Jack. Pick up.

Where's Jelly?

Anita, what's wrong?

Where is my daughter?

She wasn't tired, and she said she wanted to wait for you in the rec room.

Jilly?

Jilly?

Jilly?

Happy out!

Marty!

Please don't hurt Jilly!

Stop being so dramatic

Sleeping soundly. No. Where is my daughter?

She's my daughter.

And I won't let you keep her from me.

Your daughter?

How ridiculous would that be?

Ethan and I wanted a baby so bad.

But month after month, nothing.

I know all about that. I can help you. The wives already have.

I was so sad. They did the impossible for me.

They tracked down the baby. My parents forced me to give up. That was the hard

part. The easy part was getting her here.

Jack's job.

The house.

I was pretty desperate, Anita.

Was it you who paid Luke to kill me? Sarah paid Luke to delay you so I could

spend time with her.

But you, you had to start nosing around about Patrice and ruin everything.

Everything. So what, you're just going to kill me?

I have to be with her.

You're never going to let that happen.

Julie adores you.

We could tell her the truth together.

You wouldn't do that.

She deserves to know how much her mother loves her.

We can both be in her life.

But what kind of a mother would you be if you do this?

I saved her from the adopted parents who gave her up because she was sick.

I'm the only mother she's ever known.

And she'll never know that I did that. But you will.

Every time you look at her, you'll know.

I have to.

I need her.

I could never be the mother if I do this.

Give me the gun, honey.

Ethan.

Oh, my God, you're alive.

What are you doing?

You've made things complicated, Anita.

Just let me see Jilly, please.

My morning house is going to be long gone with Jilly.

Thanks to the journal I hid in your house, you'd suspect the wives were

everything.

Marty would stay behind and grieve for a bit and join me.

Jilly would never let that happen. We'll explain how she was taken from her real

mother.

She's young.

With love and time, she'll come around.

So now, to make things simple again, you have two options. Either you let us

live peacefully with Jilly, or... Never!

Don't do that again!

As I was saying, you either let us leave peacefully with Jilly, or you let me

have an easy time convincing the police that the insanely jealous man that

screamed in front of a parking lot full of people lost control and shot his

cheating wife for turning the gun on himself.

Don't you dare hurt Jack.

And who would believe that?

Thera and Joy would. They never trusted my husband around you.

I ain't sure of it.

Get the ropes, honey.

I like you both, Anita.

I don't want to hurt either one of you.

But I would do anything for my wife.

Just like you'll do anything for Jilly. So if you love her, you'll let her go.

We'll make her happy, I promise.

We can't let you call in the police before we can get very far away.

That'll never work.

Stay still!

If you care about your family, you only have one choice.

I will never let you take her from me!

It's gorgeous.

I can't thank you enough.

It only took me three months of Emma's nap time to finish it. But you wouldn't

trade a moment.

No, I wouldn't.

I wouldn't even have Emma without your help.

You okay?

Did you see the moving truck at Marty's?

Yeah.

I hope she's a new friend.

Like you were.

I am so grateful for your friendship.

I still can't believe you forgave me.

You know how sorry... You have to stop apologizing.

I thought I was doing a good thing.

That maybe one day you'd even find out and everyone would be happy.

That was naive, wasn't it? No.

Optimistic.

I know you never meant to hurt anyone.

And you know what?

Jack and I have gone back to counseling and we're better than ever.
