Well, what time do you think you'll be home?

Yeah. Drive safe. I love you, too.

Cheers.

Hello?

9-1-1. What's your emergency?

Yeah, there's a man who has been stalking me

and he's come back.

He's inside!

Ah!

Ah!

Are you there? Ma'am? Are you there?

I can't believe it's already been ten years.

I remember.

Justin had just graduated.

We could barely afford our first apartment.

Ten years. So what is that? Silk?

No, no. Silk is 12.

Ah, and lace is 13.

It's tin.

Ew. You're kidding.

It's supposed to symbolize durability.

I'm almost afraid to ask what he gave you.

He got me a beautiful, vintage tin jewelry box.

And inside...

- Oh. - Hmm.

That's actually very sweet.

I know, isn't it? I was impressed.

Okay. So what'd you get him?

I got him a vintage engraved watch

so that our love would always be timeless.

At least that's what the salesperson said.

Well, I'm sold.

That's adorable.

You know, Abby just got a gorgeous

crystal set for her 15th.

No way.

They have not been married for 15 years.

I feel like they just got married.

That's what I said.

I, of course, had to ask them

what was their secret to a happy marriage.

And? What did she say?

You really want to know?

- Yes. - Yes, please. Spill.

Okay.

But you didn't hear this from me.

- Promise? - Our lips are sealed.

Hmm.

She gave him...

a hall pass.

- Nuh-uh. - What... No.

What? What do you mean?

Like a... like a hall pass, hall pass?

Oh, you know what I mean.

Permission.

Wait a minute. Wait a minute. So she...

she lets Nick sleep with other women?

One other woman, one time.

- No. - She said

it does wonders for her marriage.

Oh, come on.

What? Is it so hard to believe?

Look, if you're in a committed relationship

and you trust them...

I don't know.

It doesn't sound like a very committed relationship.

Hmm.

Oh. My. God.

You got one.

Beth, you didn't. No.

- Ah... - What?

How am I just now hearing about this?

I didn't think it was that big of a deal.

It is a huge deal. What?

How could that have just slipped your mind?

Wait, wait, wait. So, so have you...

You know, used it?

Ah! She has!

Wait. Okay.

So, as long as we're playing,

Carrie, who would you pick?

Hmm.

I don't know.

Could it be, like, anyone?

A celebrity hall pass.

- Mm! - Hey, ladies.

- Hey... - And, that's my cue.

Oh, you don't have to leave on my account.

Oh, it's not because of you. You're out of wine.

That's too bad. You're going to miss dessert.

I made my famous Tres Leches cake.

- No, you didn't. - I thought you love that cake.

I do.

But I'm still on this sugar cleanse.

What? Wine doesn't count. We've discussed this.

More for us, then.

I'll be right back.

A sugar cleanse, really?

Could you be less fun, Carrie?

Give my compliments to Justin on the Tres Leches.

Oh, I will. He's very proud of that.

He should be.

- That's me. - Oh, thanks for coming.

Thanks for having me.

I will see you two on Monday.

All right. Bye, girl.

Bye.

I have a confession.

It's been months since Justin and I...

you know.

Months?

What? I mean, have you tried?

Not really.

Well, you know how busy we both are

and we're both wiped by the time we get home from work.

Well, maybe you need to skip the tin

and get straight to the lace.

Very funny.

That's me.

Um, we'll talk more about this.

- Okay. - Night.

Good night.

Hey, I was going to do those.

- It's okay, I got it. - Hmm, thanks, babe.

Well, in that case, I think I'm gonna go

upstairs and take a bath.

I think that's a good idea.

Why don't you come up when you're finished?

I'll be there in a bit. I was going to watch the game.

Okay.

- I'll see ya in a bit. - Okay.

Who's ready for a girls trip?

- You mean work trip. - Yeah, yeah.

- I'm just finishing up. - Okay.

Hey, don't take too long.

Registration's at noon

and who knows what traffic will be like.

Okay.

- You going to be okay? - Of course.

Luckily, I'm super busy.

I got back-to-back sales pitches all day.

And you are going to close each and every one of them.

Don't worry about me.

- You ladies have a nice time. - Ha, oh, yeah.

The symposium on Single Payer is going to be off the hook.

You know...

you really nailed it with this gift.

I'm so glad.

And the inscription, it's...

It's perfect.

Bye.

- Love you. - Love you.

Have a great time.

And good luck sticking to your cleanse

- while you're gone. - Oh.

Very funny.

- Bye. - Bye.

When I say "girls'," you say "trip."

Girls'...

- Trip. - Trip.

Oh, are you kidding me?

I hope I'm not going to have to

remind you two how to have fun.

All right, ladies.

Say...

- "hall pass." - Hall pass!

Stop it.

Hi.

Oh.

- Oh. - I have yours.

We're off to a great start.

Thank you.

Nice.

- We're here. - You want to sit in the front?

Digital health care is more important now

than ever before.

Soon medical professionals

will only accept Ethereum

and Netflix stock as payment.

This is just one part of an industry wide effort

to curb inflation and begin the transition

to virtual health care.

What are we drinking to?

Freedom.

Fair enough. How about you?

I'm just happy to be out of that dreadful room.

I needed toothpicks to keep my eyes open.

I thought that guy would never stop talking.

- Another round? - Yes. And I'm buying.

I... I'll just take a soda water.

Soda water?

Need I remind you that you are away from home,

out with your two very best friends

in the whole entire world?

Yes. May I remind you that our day starts

at 6:30 a.m. tomorrow.

Yeah, but, like, no one goes

to those morning sessions.

Actually, make that two.

- Okay. - Yeah.

Okay. Yeah.

This is the last time

I go out with you two Grandmas.

- Oh. - I said what I said.

Oh, he's a big boy.

I just want to make sure everything went okay.

Look, Justin is great at what he does, okay?

I'm sure everything was fine.

Now, put the phone away, will ya?

Fine. Fine.

Okay, you guys, I don't want you to freak out.

Look over there.

Hey, isn't that that guy from the band, Icarus?

- No way. - Oh, yeah.

What's his name?

Dante. Dante Jones.

What?

Dante. Dante Jones.

I had all of their albums when I was in high school.

You know, Icarus was actually my very first concert.

I snuck out with Bobby Silver and we went

to see them play at the Pier.

Oh. Bobby Silver.

So scandalous.

He should be your hall pass. Oh, not this again.

Oh, hell yes, he absolutely should be.

What are you doing?

Got to take a picture or else it didn't happen.

Oh, come on.

"I got my hall pass and I am ready

to mingle."

"Mingle?" I hope you're kidding.

Lexi.

- You better not post that. - Too late.

Lexi, take it down now.

- It's kind of a cute photo. - I'm not kidding.

What if Justin sees that?

Okay, fine. Fine.

Stop making jokes about a hall pass, Lexi.

Times are tough.

No one's filling arenas on their own these days.

Double, triple headers.

That's where the money is.

I'm paying you good money to manage me.

Maybe if we had the whole band.

- Not happening. - Just think about it.

This brooding acoustic vibe is...

It's kind of a downer.

Yeah, I'm not inspired by that, man.

You're not supposed to be inspired.

You're supposed to be a... a misbehaving,

unhinged rock star.

Speaking of, could you at least have ordered a beer?

You might as well be drinking mineral water.

Fine.

Where are you going?

To get something other than mineral water.

Justin and I would never have an arrangement like that.

Well, maybe you should.

Could be the inspiration you need.

I don't even want to be with someone else.

It's not about being with someone else.

It's the idea of it all.

Maybe even help you out of that slump.

And this hall pass really helped you?

As a matter of fact, it did.

You know, you still never told us who you picked.

- Never. - And I'm never going to.

Are people still doing that?

- Doing what? - Like hall passes.

That's still a thing?

Um, apparently.

Actually, my friend, here,

was just going to tell us

which celebrities she might be interested in.

Ooh, a celebrity, huh?

No. No, no, no. Absolutely not.

- I'm Dante, by the way. - Oh, she knows.

You should, uh, join us.

Sure. As...

As long as it's all right with...

Carrie.

- Carrie's good. - Yeah.

Sure.

So...

which celebrity we goin' with?

It's funny you should mention that.

- Lexi... - Well, I mean...

beautiful woman like yourself,

you could choose anyone you want.

Oh, right.

You know what, on second thought,

I think I will have that drink.

Oh, great. Let's go.

- Where are you guys going? - Um...

to grab a drink.

We might go walk around.

No, no, no. Please don't leave me.

If you need a rescue, just call or text me.

We'll be close by, okay?

All right, you guys.

- All right. - Have fun.

So, what are you drinking?

Oh, uh, just some soda water.

I have an early morning.

- Uh. Waitress. - Uh-huh?

Can we get a couple of dirty martinis, please?

- Right away. - Thank you.

Okay. Twist my arm.

What?

You're just not what I would have expected.

Ah, what were you expecting?

I don't know. Um...

I've listened to all your music

and I guess you're just...

completely different than how I always imagined.

So you've always imagined me?

In what way?

I guess I thought you'd be more like

some bad boy rock star.

Just really unapproachable.

But, uh, you actually seem really easy to talk to.

Here you go.

Thank you.

Well...

to getting to know each other.

Our real selves.

Oh, I should probably switch back to soda water.

These martinis have gone straight to my head.

Yeah, my boy, Barry, makes 'em strong.

Actually...

this been really great

but I should probably go up to bed.

No. No, no, no. You can't leave now.

Come on.

Our night's just getting started.

You want to, um...

You want to head back there? It looks comfortable.

- Sure. - Yeah?

After you.

Barry, can we get two more? Thanks, man.

Doesn't it get tiring?

What?

Pretending to be something you're not.

"I celebrate myself...

and sing myself.

And whatever I assume...

you shall assume."

"For every atom belonging to me

as good belongs to you."

You know Walt Whitman?

What? The father of free verse?

He wrote with...

no restrictions,

exploring the importance of the everyman.

He found beauty in the ordinary world.

I don't know, it seems like most people today's idea

of poetry begins and ends with TikTok.

This... this has all been really great.

But really, I should have been in bed,

like, two hours ago.

You can't leave me now.

No, you need to regale me

with more stories about the benefits

of electronic insurance claims.

Fascinating.

Come see my suite.

I'll call in some champagne.

Just one drink.

You know, most women...

they see the celebrity and...

they see the money.

But you...

It's been a long time since I've connected

with someone like you.

Dante...

I'm flattered, but...

But you can trust me.

What if I said I didn't know if I could trust me?

I do.

One drink?

I promise.

Uh...

as much as I would love to, I can't.

- Ah, come on. - Thank you...

Dante, for...

a wonderful evening.

My 15 year old self

would never have believed any of this.

Good night.

You are relentless, aren't you?

I can't help it.

You're not like anyone else I've ever met.

I'm sure you say that to all the girls.

You're not like all the other girls, Carrie.

You're different.

You really want me to believe that?

Do anything...

but let it produce joy.

Dante.

Wait. Stop.

- We just started. - Please, stop.

- I said, stop. - Come to my suite.

Dante, I'm married.

Well, obviously not happily.

- What? - I thought I was your hall pass.

That was... that was just a joke.

- Was it? - Dante.

Thank you for... for the drinks and...

for tonight, but...

it stops there.

So, you really want to go back

to your sad life and your house

in the middle of nowhere and your boring job.

- Excuse me? - And being that you

even considered a hall pass,

I'm going to guess your boring husband.

I'm right, aren't I?

Oh.

Oh, I'm sorry.

I'm sorry, I shouldn't have said any of that.

That's not me. I promise.

- Please forgive me. - Dante.

Goodbye.

Go back to your stupid, pathetic life!

Home, sweet home.

So, I'll see you at the office tomorrow?

Carrie?

Carrie?

Carrie?

Uh, yeah. Sorry.

- I'll see you tomorrow. - All right.

- So, did you cheat? - What?

Did you cheat?

On your sugar cleanse.

Oh. You know me.

I am a sucker for glucose spike and peer pressure.

I figured. You'll get 'em next time.

Where's your locket?

Uh, you know.

I was getting ready

and I sat it on the sink and...

It... I knocked it off and it broke.

All good, I'll take it to the jeweler this week.

Thanks.

You haven't even touched your food.

I'm not that hungry.

Actually, I have a lot of paperwork

I still need to finish, so I'll see you upstairs?

Sure. See you in a bit.

So what'd I miss?

What do you mean?

You know the bar. Those women.

If you must know, I...

actually connected with one of them.

You don't waste any time.

What can I say? I know what I like.

Come on. How serious could it be?

Well, it's too soon to tell, of course, but...

you never know.

Could be.

Well, she must have been something.

She was.

Something special.

Are you sure nothing happened with Duncan?

- Nothing happened. - Well, in that case,

I'm very proud of you.

A lot of women wouldn't have had your self-control.

- Right. - Although...

you can't tell me you didn't think about it.

Hmm.

You want some advice?

If I said "no," would that really make a difference?

No.

Take all those thoughts

and everything that didn't happen...

and bring it back to Justin.

It's time to spice things up between you two.

He'll think I've lost my mind.

It's better than losing your marriage.

Okay.

Yeah!

Everyone, if I could please

have your attention for just a moment.

I'd like to give my special wishes

to the birthday girl,

someone who I consider to not only be a horrible,

hellacious boss,

but a very kind

and genuine person,

someone I am very proud to call my best friend.

Happy birthday, friend.

Salud!

- Salud! - Salud!

Woo!

Well, I can't top that...

so I will just add to it by saying

how much I love

and appreciate our birthday girl...

more and more with each passing day.

So to mark the occasion, I've got you a little something.

After all, you only turn 21 once, right?

Thank you.

- What is it! - You've got to tell us!

- Um... - It's tickets

and VIP backstage passes

to see Dante tomorrow night at the Stanley!

You excited?

Yeah. This is amazing! Thank you.

Yes!

Happy birthday!

I'm getting a drink.

- You want one? - Please.

Two...

Oh, that was fast.

I was hopin' I might see you tonight.

VIP Pass, huh? How'd you swing that?

Well, how did you like the show?

Dante, I...

Now remember, I say,

"Only that woman who passionately clung to me.

I see her close beside me.

Silent lips, sad and tremulous."

Oh, who's your friend?

- Justin. - You must be the lucky husband.

- I am. - Yeah.

I was just asking your wife how she enjoyed the show.

It was amazing. You haven't changed a bit, man.

I swear, I saw you play UofA in 2000.

And you sound the exact same.

It was incredible, right, Carrie?

Yeah, yeah, yeah. Amazing.

But Carrie tells me that you're in medicine?

Wow, you guys covered a lot while I was gone, huh?

Uh, yeah. Medical sales.

- That's impressive. - Yeah, well,

I like to say that everybody has their own skill sets.

It's not like I can do what you do, either.

Well, thanks.

It's a pleasure to meet you.

You too. Please, make yourself at home.

Help yourself to the food.

I hear the, uh,

lobster nachos are fantastic.

And I do hope that our paths might cross again some time.

Awesome.

Maybe I should've gone into music, huh?

But those lobster nachos, they do sound amazing.

Come on.

I think I should. I think it was...

- Didn't I give you one for... - You did.

I don't know why I don't wear it.

I mean, how... just...

That was amazing. And I actually talked to Dante. Come on.

- Anyway, happy birthday. - Thanks.

You okay?

Yeah, yeah.

Just a little Dante'd out.

Okay.

I found you.

Carrie Palmer.

Knock-knock.

- Earth to Carrie. - Sorry.

I just didn't get much sleep last night.

Oh, the show was that exciting, huh?

- Justin had a good time. - Mm, what about you?

Yeah, it was interesting.

Did you see him?

I did.

- And? - He was fine.

What about Justin?

Everyone was very polite.

Anyway, he should be well on his way to his next show now.

So he's gone.

Oh. Yeah?

There's a delivery for you upfront.

Oh, okay. I'll be right there.

- Lunch later? - Sure. Okay.

All right.

"Do you think the friendship of me

would be unalloyed satisfaction?"

I'm not interrupting anything important, am I?

I came to apologize.

Um, why don't we talk in my office?

Hold my calls.

I can't tell you how good it was to see you last night.

You can't just show up at my work.

I know. I know. I should have called, but...

I needed to say I'm sorry.

I shouldn't have acted the way I did.

- It was so immature. - Don't you have

some other city that you need to be in?

Yeah. I have a fan event up North.

But it isn't until the weekend.

So I thought I'd stay

for a couple of days, see the sights.

Sights? Here?

Relax, okay? Nobody knows anything.

That's not the point.

You don't think I can keep a secret?

I told you before,

what happened between us never should have happened.

Okay, just give me a chance to make it up to you.

Just let's start over.

I'm married.

This is inappropriate.

I haven't been able to stop thinking about you.

Tell me that you don't feel the same.

I don't understand.

Why me?

- What do you mean? - There were dozens of other

- women there last night. - And?

- Younger and prettier than me. - Shallow groupies.

I don't understand what you need me for.

Do you really think that little of yourself?

That's not what I meant.

What you need is someone

who actually appreciates you.

You can't tell me that we didn't share a connection, Carrie.

What are you so afraid of?

- I'm not afraid. - You know, I'd never do

anything to jeopardize you or your marriage.

Nothing is going to happen between us, okay?

I need you to understand that.

Something already did happen, Carrie.

You can't just make that go away.

I think it would be best if you took back your flowers

and you gave them to someone

who could actually appreciate them.

Please.

I'm sorry to have bothered you.

You got to let it go, man.

I've been to enough of your shows to know

there are women lining up for you by the dozen.

You don't need this one.

She chose me.

Are you sure that's what this is about?

- What do you mean? - I mean,

are you sure you're not just

substituting her for someone else you can't have?

Is this about Brenda again?

Forget her. She... she used me.

She was married.

And this new one isn't?

No, you know, you...

you weren't there, Quinn, okay?

You didn't... you didn't see the way that we connected.

Uh-huh.

She could be my soul mate.

- Just like last time. - No, this is different.

You wanna know what your problem is?

Yeah. I'm a romantic?

You always go for the women you can't have.

It's like a self-destructive pattern with you.

You know you're not hearing me, Quinn.

This... this girl gets me.

She's not even available.

It doesn't matter.

She said I was her hall pass.

Oh, my God. Her hall pass?

You're delusional is what you are.

And I really hate seeing you do this to yourself.

I promise...

that this time will be different.

This... this woman is different. She's special.

Just... just come back here, will you?

- When I'm done. - Dante.

- I gotta go. - Dante.

Goddammit.

Um, hi, yeah, I just wanted to make sure that he will,

in fact, be attending your show.

Yes, that's correct. This Saturday.

You know, he attends every year.

Big fan, huh?

Oh, um, yeah.

My friend would be super disappointed

if... if she missed it.

Okay, well, I can't make any promises,

but I do have him down as a confirmed guest.

Okay, so he will be in Seattle this weekend.

That is good to hear. Thank you.

You know, while I have you, uh,

perhaps you and your friend

might wanna upgrade

to one of our VIP packages?

Uh.

I guess that's a no.

Hon, is that you?

There she is.

Here I am.

How was your day? Anything exciting happen?

Well, if by exciting you mean

interviewing new pharmacists for next week's board meeting,

then yeah, it was a blast.

Something smells good.

And it's gonna taste even better.

Come here.

- Why? - I wanna give my wife a kiss.

Oh.

So summer's coming up and I thought maybe we could

take some time off of work,

go somewhere special?

- Yeah. - Maybe work on

starting a family?

Really? You mean it?

There's that smile, ugh. I miss that smile.

Oh.

Hold that thought. I'll be right back.

There is just lots of options

for this that you married.

I'm so excited about it.

I've given it as gifts. I love it.

I love it. And it's kinda like...

Leave it.

Hi, there.

Hi.

Oh. You're that guy.

Oh, from that band.

Icarus, right?

Indeed I am. Can I buy a drink?

Actually, I'm waiting for someone.

Okay.

Excuse me.

Can we get her a cocktail, please?

No, no, really, I... I am.

Why don't we just go get a table in the back?

- I told you. He's... - "Passing stranger!

You do not know how longingly I look upon you.

You must be she I was seeking."

Hey. What's going on?

Hey, um,

remember that band Icarus?

This guy was in it.

Oh, cool, man.

She's not interested.

I say we let her decide.

I say you piss off.

You could do so much better than this loser.

Who are you calling a loser?

I...

was not talking to you.

Oh, she's not talking to you.

Let's not start something.

- Come on. - He started.

No, no. Come on.

We're leaving.

Nice meeting you. Let's go.

- Loser. - No.

You know, you've got a serious problem.

Enough!

No!

Stop it!

Oh, my God.

Where are you going?

He's gone.

- Morning. - Ah!

You scared me.

I was just thinking about a meeting

I have to lead this morning.

Oh, I hate those meetings.

"With great power, comes great responsibility."

You know, we could always trade.

How familiar are you with the intricacies

of biometric printing?

Might have to take the master class

- to brush up on that. - Leave yourself plenty of time.

This morning I heard there's an accident on the 17.

Well, do.

You know, I am working downtown this afternoon,

thought I could pick us up dinner from the Avenue?

Oh, that'd great.

I better leave, I'll be late.

Have a good day.

See you tonight.

- It's just me. - Sorry.

I got your favorite vanilla latte.

However, you seem a little jumpy this morning.

Not sure if you need any more caffeine.

Sadly, I do.

Thank you. You know me so well.

I saw Justin down at the coffee shop.

- Oh, yeah? - Mm-hmm.

He was just asking about you.

Wanted to make sure if you're okay.

Said you seemed a little off lately.

I'm fine. Just one of those mornings.

The flowers were a nice gesture, though.

How did you know about that?

You'd be surprised. People talk.

Those weren't from Justin. They were from Dante.

He was here?

It's almost like he's stalking me.

Stalking you?

Why am I getting the feeling

- you don't believe me? - I mean, but come on,

stalking you, that's a bit much, don't you think?

Why else would he be here?

Well, you said you spent time with him at the bar, right?

- Yeah. - And then you saw him

- again backstage? - Yes.

What's your point here?

Well, it's probably just part of his act,

is what he does.

I mean, come on.

He's a famous and rich rock star.

He's smooth.

His only job is to make his fans think

that they're important.

So what are you saying? I'm not good enough for him?

No, come on, you know I didn't mean it like that.

Because why would he send me this?

OMG!

- Let me see that. - No.

Is there something you're not telling me?

Of course not.

Just be happy, you get to be friends

with someone famous.

I mean, it's kinda cool if you think about it.

I'll be in my office if you need anything.

Before you say anything,

I didn't know what else to do.

You weren't responding.

Let's just start over.

You're in my home.

But tell me, would you have agreed

to meet me for a drink?

Not even a cup of coffee?

Not even a vanilla latte?

Please, you have to go.

Not until you agree to meet me.

Nope, Dante I am not gonna meet you!

9:00 a.m., I can come to you.

We can meet at the coffee shop outside your office.

I'm home!

Or we could explain to your husband

why I'm in your house.

The Kings Coffee Roasters.

It's a block away from my office.

I'll meet you there.

Hon?

Yeah, I'll be right there. I'm just getting dressed.

I'll see you at nine.

- Hey. - Hey.

- Don't let it get cold. - I'll be right there.

Okay.

Dante? Hi.

Sorry to bother you.

Do you mind if I take a selfie with you?

Is that okay?

Oh! Thank you.

- Thank you. - Yeah.

Yes, I understand.

I don't know where the hell he is.

He was supposed to...

Yeah, I realize that.

I'm trying to figure out what happened.

Listen, let me call you right back, okay?

Okay. Bye.

Where the hell is he?

It's me again.

Dude, did you stiff the autograph show?

You know how those people are,

you can't afford to piss them off!

Just call me back, okay?

Seriously, if you need to get that...

Oh, I'll call them back after the show.

Hon.

I'll be right back.

We had a date.

I... I couldn't get away.

You could have called.

You're right. I guess, time got away from me.

Right.

Aren't you supposed to be having an appearance somewhere?

You're right, so come with me.

- What are you doing? - I'm trying

to figure out what I have to do

- to get you to listen to me. - I am listening.

No, you're hiding, Brenda.

- Brenda? - Carrie.

You're hiding in your backyard

while your husband thinks you belong to him.

- I will go to the police. - No, you won't.

- And why is that? - Because you're married

and you don't want people asking questions,

questions that'll get you in a lot of trouble, Carrie.

And you wouldn't want me to do anything drastic, would you?

What... what do you mean?

Lexi!

What are you doing?

DANTE: It's only 8:30, and she's already home.

The date must not have gone very well.

Oh, have I got your attention now?

Babe, you missed the best part.

Everything okay?

Yeah. That was Lexi.

Apparently, her date was a total disaster.

I mean, are you surprised?

No.

But I'm gonna go over there, and just check on her.

Yeah, don't wait up.

Okay.

Okay!

Carrie, what are you doing here?

It's kind of a long story, you're alone?

Unfortunately, yes.

The date was a total bust.

Did you come to check up on me?

No... Yes, kind of.

Okay, 'cause you never do that.

I know. I... I just, I had a feeling.

All right, Carrie, I have to tell you

about this date.

This guy was so boring!

All he wanted to do was talk about his ex,

and yada, yada, yada, and...

What are you looking for?

Nothing. I'm just making sure.

I promise there's no one in here.

Okay, seriously, Carrie,

you're really starting to scare me.

What's going on?

Carrie, what's going on?

I'm sorry, I just... I just had a bad feeling,

and I... I never would have forgiven myself

if something happened, and I ignored it.

Okay.

We're okay! We're both okay, right?

- Mm-hmm. - It's fine.

You want some wine?

- Yes. - Let's go inside.

You say you met him while you on a work trip?

- Yes. - Were you traveling alone?

I was with my girlfriends.

We all work together.

I got very fortunate in the colleagues department.

And you told my officers, while you were on the trip

that you had an interaction with him in the hotel?

- Yes. - When you say interaction...

I told him I was a fan, that I loved his music.

Did anything sexual happen between the two of you?

No.

Okay, we... we kissed and fooled around a bit,

but that was it, nothing more than that.

He repeatedly asked me

to come back to his suite and I refused.

And how did he react when you told him

- you weren't interested? - Angrily.

- Violent? - More verbal.

Things got heated very quickly.

So after that night, you had no further contact

with Mr. Murphy?

Thomas Murphy, Dante's real name.

Oh, I know what you meant, but no.

And then, a month later,

you attended one of his shows.

Yes, my husband surprised me

with concert tickets for my birthday.

He knew I was a fan.

At some point, during the evening,

did you actively tell him no?

Yes. Yes, I absolutely did.

Thank you. Excuse me.

We've been able to obtain some footage

from the hotel's security cameras

as well as your social media profiles.

Oh, okay.

Did you meet up for a drink in the bar?

Well, I wasn't exactly meeting him,

I was there having a drink with my two friends.

As I mentioned, we were traveling together.

Did you know he was gonna be there?

No, of course not!

"Whenever I perform in Santa Barbara,

I always like to stop in at Jeff & Barry's,

my favorite wine bar," it's on his socials.

How would I know that?

You've tagged "like" on several of his posts.

Yeah, I was a fan, but that doesn't mean

that I read every article on his page.

What about your hall pass?

- My what? - Oh, come on, Carrie!

You know exactly what I'm talking about.

"I got my hall pass, I'm ready to mingle"?

Okay, look, I can explain that.

That was just a dumb joke.

My friend was goofing off.

You should know, this department takes

false allegations very seriously.

False allegations?

You... you brought him in?

Actually, Mr. Murphy came in on his own.

- I don't understand. - I need you to wait for me

- in the other room. - Why would he come in

on his own?

If you would just wait for me... Mrs. Palmer.

Sure.

Do you mind telling me what's going on?

I have a TRO.

What is a TRO?

A temporary restraining order?

I'll need you to sign at the bottom.

Thank you.

I was starting to worry you didn't believe me.

Mrs. Palmer, this is

a temporary restraining order against you.

I'm sorry, what?

By signing you're agreeing

not to go within 100 yards of Mr. Murphy.

I agree not to...

What... what about my protection?

The agreement is valid for 14 days

after which time Mr. Murphy may file a petition

with the court for an extension.

He's filing a restraining order against me?

But he's been stalking me!

We now have an open investigation

to gather more information.

And in the meantime, if you have an attorney,

it might be a good idea to have a chat with them.

Brenda!

Get you anything?

- Just soda water. - Coming right up.

You're Brenda, right?

- Yeah. - Hi.

I'm... I'm Carrie Palmer.

I'm here to talk about Dante.

You people

just don't know when to give up, do you?

What is it this time? A magazine? Podcast?

I just need a minute of your time.

I need this job, okay?

And every time one of you shows up,

my boss gets pissed.

I'm not a journalist or a crazy fan.

I promise.

I'll get your soda water.

You have one minute.

I just need to know. Is he dangerous?

We met at a bar in Santa Barbara,

one thing led to another,

I broke it off, and now he's...

Obsessed?

We met at a party a couple of years ago.

He's nothing like his image.

He's sweet, sensitive, cultured.

Very convincing.

Sounds about right.

But he's... he's also possessive.

Very possessive.

And if... if you're not careful,

he has a temper.

Did he ever try and hurt you?

I... I just need to know how scared I should be.

Steer clear of him at all costs.

Would you believe

that he put out a restraining order against me?

He... he told the cops that I was stalking him.

He did the same thing to me.

Good luck getting anyone to believe you.

Dante is a master manipulator

who... who can charm the police.

And... and they fall for it every time.

I need to get back to work.

Be careful. Please.

What did you tell her?

What did you tell her?

You mean, did I tell her how you broke into my house?

How you chased me across the country?

How you broke my arm in a rage.

It's closing time, bud. My man, it's time to go.

We're closed.

Wasn't that that guy from that band?

Pizza sounds great.

Hello.

Somebody here?

Pizza time.

Detective?

I... I didn't get a good look.

What about his voice?

Did he say anything?

No. Just the text.

I'll be right back.

We have people checking his phone

and the cloud backups,

but so far, we haven't been able to find anything.

- I'm telling you, it's him. - Don't worry.

We've already sent someone to talk to him.

So you believe me?

I go where the evidence takes me, that's all.

Thank you.

I'll be back tomorrow morning to see how he's doing.

But in the meantime, I think there's some things

you and your husband need to discuss.

What... what was that?

There's something that I need to tell you.

Something that I should have told you a month ago.

- You're scaring me. - Shh.

Just listen.

So, when I went on that work trip...

something happened.

That night was the one...

You know, you could have told me the truth.

I tried.

I know.

I'm sorry.

Did you not think I would understand?

I mean, sure, things got a little out of hand.

Out of hand?

Look, the most important thing is you didn't do anything.

Don't forget that.

Yeah.

How's Justin doing?

He's a little better.

He was discharged this morning.

You talk to him?

Not since last night.

He won't speak to me.

Can't say I blame him.

You told him?

How did he take it?

Let's just say

I don't think he'll be rushing home any time soon.

Just give him some time.

Yeah.

In the meantime, what about you?

- Just processing it all. - You staying at the house?

- Yeah. - Is it safe?

Well, I'm not allowed

within 100 yards of him, so...

He could be anywhere.

Look, if you need anything, anything,

you let me know.

Okay. Thank you.

Of course.

Marilyn?

Who... who left this here?

I didn't see anyone.

Hello?

Hello?

Hey, it's me.

Actually, there is something you can help me with.

I hope you're right about this.

Don't worry.

No, no. I have plans of my own.

- Oh! - Oh, yeah.

First you're gonna go upstairs,

take a nice, long bath, I have candles lit

and a glass of champagne waiting.

Wow! Really?

You are gonna love my famous salmon.

Let's show you to your room.

Our presidential suite!

Yeah, so, bathroom's in there.

Take a load off.

You don't have to take care of me. Really.

Hey, remember, you're not alone.

We're in this together.

Right.

Hey.

Thank you.

Whatever it is you're making down there,

smells delicious.

It's about time you showed up.

I see you saw my post.

Go! Go! Go! Go!

- Go! - Carrie?

Where's Lexi?

She was supposed be waiting at the bottom of the stairs.

We need the light. Look in the drawer.

All right.

Oh, ladies.

Shh. It's me, it's me, it's me.

Lexi?

Come here.

Carrie!

Oh, ladies.

- This way. - Okay.

Come on!

Come on!

- Come on! - Justin, Justin!

You guys, Lexi's still in there.

We can't just leave her.

You two, get in a car, stay there.

- Come on, no! - Yes.

Come on!

- Justin. - Just come!

- I'll be right back. - No!

I'll be right back.

No!

- Carrie? - Lock the door!

No, no, no, no, no, no. You can come out now.

Come out!

Carrie, lock the door!

Carrie?

I don't think you understand. I came here to be with you.

I know that we were meant to be together.

Carrie?

Oh, God! Come on!

Come... come on, one bar.

One bar!

Carrie.

Where are you?

Do you have any idea what it's like to be famous

and yet so alone?

Carrie?

I know that you understand me.

You in here?

He... he's not gonna be a problem for us any more,

so just... just come out!

Just leave me alone!

- You don't need to do this! - No, I do need to do this.

I'm not gonna lose you again, you're mine.

Beth, thank you so much.

- I'm so sorry. - It's okay. You're safe.

That's all that matters.

If you hadn't shown up...

Thank you.

The car will be here any minute.

A whole week to ourselves.

Whatever will we do to keep busy?

Oh, I'm sure we'll think of something.

We should have done this a year ago.

Well, luckily for us, we have the rest of our lives

to look forward to.

You know what I'm looking forward to?

- What? - Silk!

Funny.

It's just two years away.

Well, I'm still working on the tin.

Oh, come on.

We've got a family to get working on.

I'm just saying, there's been a scarf

I've got my eye on, I don't know

what you thought I meant by the silk, I'm just saying.
