[footsteps approaching]

Oh, we're the first ones here?

Oh, this is a nice change
of pace from the club.

You probably want the down
and dirty on Dani's deeds.

I am not as titillated
as everyone else

about her exploits,
given that Andre is my nephew.

And now brother-in-law.

-Who can keep up?
-I-I...

didn't, uh, want
to talk about Dani.

You seem off. Are you okay?

No, I'm not. Um...

Did you see
the news this morning

about the traffic accident
on the highway?

I didn't get through it all.

I think I saw something
about an accident.

Was it a fatality?

Oh, please tell me
it wasn't one of your clients.

-It was Doug.
-[gasps]

Oh, my God.

Oh, sweetie.

[shuddering]

What are you doing here?

Heard you lost
your best customer.

I just come to offer you
a shoulder to cry on.

♪ ♪

How about our friend Leslie?

-Mm.
-A new-money millionaire.

[laughs]

Maybe we were too quick
to give her the boot.

That's on me.

There's no way I could've
stayed friends with her

and walked into Nicole's
for work every day.

Oh. She will be throwing the
housewarming party for the ages

-in her new mansion.
-[chuckling]

We would have been invited.

She told people that she's
tearing down that grand classic

-to build an even bigger,
grander one.
-[scoffs]

-[laughs]
-Mm.

But, of course,
that's not gonna happen.

The Duprees hired Bill Hamilton
to slow her down.

Mm. Well, I'm sure Leslie has
lawyers of her own by now.

My money's on Bill.

There's just no way that
her lawyers are more motivated

to get her into Fairmont Crest

-than the Duprees and Bill are
to keep her out.
-[groans]

God, that woman.

Why is she so determined
to be where no one wants her?

Mm.

Vanessa told me
that she showed her listings

of beautiful houses
all around the DMV,

but Leslie couldn't be bothered
to look at any of them.

It was Fairmont Crest
or nowhere.

Leslie would be wise
to come up with a plan B.

[door slides open]

Mama, I have a plan here--

get to work on time.

You work for your father.

You aren't making
your own schedule by now?

How's work going, anyway?

[sighs]
Honestly, it's gotten better.

You know? There was
a lot to learn at first,

and the people working there
didn't trust me

because Kat had
already high-key dissed me.

-That little--
-Doesn't matter, Mama.

I just kept showing up,
asking questions, doing my best,

and, finally, it's starting
to feel like I'm making headway.

Patience and persistence.

You got it from me.

[chuckles softly]

So, what's on your agenda today?

I'm moving.

What?

Like moving, moving?

Out of your apartment?

Yeah, the landlord sold it.

Mm. Someone else
is moving in tomorrow.

Why is this the first time
I'm hearing about this?

Like, they have
to give you notice.

-Why didn't you say anything?
-Oh, girl,

it doesn't matter. Listen, I was
ready for something new anyway,

And I've been thinking

it would be great
if I moved in here.

[breathing heavily]

-[knocking]
-It's open.

-What's up, man?
-What up?

[grunts]

I got some breakfast burritos
from that place Naomi calls

-"La Grease de la Spoon."
-[grunts]

Thanks.

I dreamed about these
while I was in the hospital.

But Shanice,
that heartless drill sergeant,

she wouldn't let anybody
bring me any.

Hey, let-let's wait until
we're done with our workout.

And, uh...
[clicks tongue]

...you can start
with the small weights,

since clearly
you've been skipping the gym

since I've been in the hospital.

Look, man, I got a question.

-What's up?
-Shanice is

your physical therapist,
too, right?

Not just your nurse?

That's right.

And does she know about
you getting the feeling back

in your legs?

Uh...

yeah.

And she works side by side
with Ashley.

What are you getting at, bro?

You got Shanice keeping
your secret, too, don't you?

[sighs]

Ashley,

I thought you were taking
another day off

to help Derek settle in.

I planned to.
But-- surprise, surprise--

the move
actually went super easy.

So we thought Derek could be
on his own for the day.

Huh. Good to hear.

And he has been updating me
all morning.

20 reps of this,
30 reps of that.

And Jacob-- he is stopping by
to lay eyes on him, too.

I guess I don't have to worry
about him feeling isolated.

Wouldn't be good
for his progress.

You know,
I have been thinking that, too.

He's just--
He's such a social guy,

and he's used to having his
roommates around all the time

and a house full
of firefighters.

I mean, honestly, I haven't seen
much improvement lately.

But Derek--
his spirits are still up,

and he's confident
he's gonna get better,

so I'm just...

I'm holding on to that.

It's because of you, girl.
[chuckles softly]

He had given up on the idea

of you and him
ever being back together.

Now you two are getting married.

You have turned
his water into wine.

You amaze me, Shanice.

What, you thought I'd feel a way
because we went out to dinner?
[chuckles softly]

Ashley, you... you're the
miracle he's been hoping for.

And, besides,
I have higher expectations

for the man after my heart.

[chuckling]

Man, I wish I could feel
as optimistic as I sound

about his improvement,
but every day that goes by

-without any impro--
-Okay, stop.

Don't-don't do that.
Don't give in to worry and fear.

You have every reason to believe
Derek's situation will improve.

Hopefully sooner
rather than later.

[sniffles]

Nicole, Doug had been struggling
so hard these past few months.

Did you ever hear anything
on the grapevine?

May-Maybe Dani said
something to you?

No, she didn't.

Dani and I talked about it once
after she saw him at the casino.

He was gambling.

High stakes. He was reckless.

He did come talk to me once.

He did?

I wish
I could really talk about it,

but it was a therapy session.

So he reached out for help.

I never realized.
This-this whole time,

he must have been trying
to beat this thing.

He...

he didn't tell me about it
until he was in too deep.

I-I thought he was performing
extra surgeries,

working double shifts.

My God.

When did he ever sleep? He...

He'd lost so much money,
he needed me to help pay it off.

That's when
he finally admitted it.

[sniffles]

[exhales]

Doug must have been carrying
such a burden.

Then he started drinking.

So much.
I-I couldn't understand at first

why he left the hospital, but...

...he was
probably falling apart.

What kind of wife am I
to never have noticed this?

Have you been going through this

without anyone
to talk to, Vanessa?

Wait.

That day at the hospital,

when you were talking about
marriage and feeling held back,

it was about this, wasn't it?

Why didn't you come talk to me?

I would have. I...

I should have. But I thought
things were getting better.

[sighs] We-we started spending
more time together.

I-I promised Doug
I wouldn't leave him

and that I still loved him.

And he-he promised me he would
stop gambling. And he did.

Or so I thought. We...

we... we were just talking
about taking a second honeymoon.

Oh, honey.

[shuddering]

[sighs]

The last straw was when...

he-he told me he was--

he was gonna play
in this high-stakes poker game.

And I told him I wouldn't
allow it. No ifs, ands, or buts.

He...
[sniffling]

He blew up, and-and he...

he walked out, and I...

That was the last time
I saw him.

Vanessa, I am so sorry.

[sniffling]

You think it's wise
to show up here so soon

after Doug's accident?

[chuckles softly]

And what about you, Romeo?

You gonna do the smart thing
and keep your distance

from the grieving widow?

Or is playing with fire
more your style?

What are you, Dear Abby?
I pay you for advice?

Fair enough.

I just stopped by to say
it was great working with you.

And if you're ever
in the Caribbean, look me up.

What are you talking about?

When your cash hit my
offshore account this morning,

I printed up
my retirement papers.

Oh, you did, did you?

Yeah. Tired of this place.

I'm ready to sail off
on the Sheila.

Nothing but open water
and all the rum I want.

Right. Your fancy yacht.

[chuckles softly]
Hard to imagine.

Next week this time,
that little lady

will be rocking me to sleep
on some idyllic island.

Except she won't.

I need you local.

What are you saying?

You got another job for me?

I don't have
the answers to that.

But it sounds like Doug was in
the grip of a cruel addiction,

and that made it impossible for
him to make any good decisions.

None of this is your fault.

And those few fights
the two of you guys had,

that doesn't outweigh

the wonderful years
you had together.

Everything that you meant
to each other.

How are the kids?

Do the twins know?

The police have asked the press
not to use Doug's name

until I can tell them.

How am I gonna do that?

[sniffles] How am I gonna
tell our kids that their...

their father's...

is gone?

[sighs]

-Have you spoken to the dean?
-He said

he'd have them both brought
to his office after classes.

Oh, I didn't realize that, uh,
Donnell was back from France.

His study abroad term is over,

and he's back
for the new semester.

He hadn't seen his dad
for so long. [sniffles]

[sighs]
Who is taking you to Banneker?

I-I can manage. I-I should be
on my way there now, so...

Vanessa,
you are not in a position

to get behind the wheel.

I'm gonna take you.

-[sighs]
-You have time?

Of course.

I'm gonna order you some food.

You're gonna sit here
and stay and eat,

even if it's just a few bites.

I'm gonna run home,
grab a few things,

uh, cancel my appointments,
and then I'll take you.

-Okay?
-Okay.

You're not gonna go
through this alone.

[sniffles]

Okay.

[crying]

Uh, move in here?

I mean, there's
barely enough room for me, Mama.

And Ted is the one
paying for this place.

He would never be down
with you living here.

I am perfectly capable
of paying for wherever I stay.

Okay?

Thank you. But...

you do bring up something

I've been wanting
to talk to you about.

What is it, Mama?

I really have to go.

I just don't think it's good

that you're so financially
dependent on your father.

I mean, as long
as he's footing the bills,

then he's, like, got this...

this hold,
this in-influence over you.

Okay, you give me whiplash.

What happened to "he's
your father and he owes you

and it's the least he can do"?

What if I want better for you?

Ever think of that?

Is that why you kicked me out

when I was living
under your roof?

Because you wanted better
for me?

That's how I ended up
in this place

-to begin with, remember?
-Oh. Right.

Yes, I can be a little hotheaded
and impulsive at times.

I can admit to that.

But that's what I'm trying
to say, baby.

I figured out a way to...

...to make things up
to my baby girl.

Okay?

What's your latest grand plan,
Mama?

I bought you your own place.

You bought me my own place?

Yep. I sure did.

I bought out our apartment.

-From the condo owner?
-[chuckles]

Mm-hmm. Yeah.

And you can move in tomorrow.

I mean, that is,
of course, if you want to.

And, hey, listen,
if you don't, you just...

rent it out or-or sell it

or use the money to put toward a
down payment on something else.

The point is, baby, it's yours.

Okay?

Your name is on the deed. Mm.

[laughs]

Mama, I'm so touched.

Like, that gift is incredible.

But why don't you buy yourself
another unit in the building?

We could be neighbors.

Wouldn't that be fun?

That would be.

But your mama is ready
to slow down, honey.

Okay?

And kick my feet up.

Okay? And live in a place where,

whoo, I can have housekeeping
every day.

Clean linens.

And, oh, my goodness,
that restaurant downstairs.

Can you imagine? A restaurant
right downstairs? Ha.

That is the vibe
for your mama right now.

-Mm. That's the vibe, is it?
-Mm. That is

-the vibe.
-Okay. Mama,

if you decided to move in here,
we both know why.

To get closer to Ted.

Why can't you just accept
the fact that it's never going

to happen between you two?

No, I don't have
a specific assignment

for you at the moment,

but I want you on standby.

Things come up.

Well, I never agreed
to a retainer.

Ours was a fee-for-service
arrangement.

I provided a service.

I got the fee. We're done.

We're done
when I say we're done.

So how do you think
it's gonna look

if you flee the country so soon
after Doug's untimely demise?

Does that thick skull of yours
even see red flags?

Red flags.

With who?

The cops?

The widow?

Here I was trying to suss out

if the hit was
her brilliant idea.

Did she have
a life insurance policy on him?

Vanessa is
completely in the dark,

and she better stay that way.

Or your retirement isn't gonna
work out quite like you planned.

You feel me?

I think Mr. Coldner is ready
for his discharge papers.

Oh, great.
They are already printed out.

I will swing by there.

Your phone's been blowing up.

I'm not trying to be nosy,

but you left it here.

Ah, it's Derek.

Jacob's there.
He brought burritos,

so he's now Derek's
new favorite person. [chuckles]

Oh, Derek's not gonna be happy
you told me that.

He just texted,
"Don't tell Shanice."

Now, Derek should know better
than to try

-to hide things from me.
-[chuckles]

[chuckles softly]

You know, he likes to complain
about how hard you are on him,

but I think
he secretly loves it.

He knows it's for his own good.

I don't think I've ever seen
a patient so grateful

to his nurse/PT.

Hmm.

-Then he should follow
my advice.
-Oh,

come on. You don't think
Derek's entitled

to a little guilty pleasure
every now and then?

Oh.

My goodness. Let me get
a closer look at this.

-It's beautiful. [chuckles]
-Thanks. [chuckles]

Oh, wow, look at the time.

I am meeting my mom
at Orphey Gene's on my break.

Do you want me
to bring anything back for you?

Oh, no, thanks.
I brought my food.

Okay. And...

-[chuckles softly]
-Bye.

[sighs]

How's poor Derek doing?

Is he still in the hospital?

No, he was released.

-Thank goodness. Ashley
has moved him in with her.
-Oh.

I hope that goes better
than the last attempt.

Um, I think it will.

They're engaged.

-Engaged?
-[laughing]

-I know.
-That's a turnaround.

Congratulations, Jan.

I know
you were rooting for them.

-I had my fingers
and my toes crossed.
-[chuckling]

Though, after
a few minor run-ins with Ashley,

-I learned
to keep my mouth shut.
-Mm.

But I always knew that those
two were meant for each other.

How'd things move
in the right direction?

Love.

Derek loves my baby so much.

And she loves him. Always did.

But she's young.

And I don't think she was ready
for a lifelong commitment.

But clearly she feels ready now.

Yeah.

Since Derek got hurt
in that terrible accident,

she realized
just how much she cared.

Dropped it all and said
she was gonna be there for him.

But it's
not just about sympathy?

No.

I don't believe it is.

I think this experience

has brought out
the best in them both.

They are more in love than ever.

Oh.

[laughing]

[grunting]

Oh, that is a wrap.

-[grunts]
-You're not gonna work out
your legs?

Nah, I leave that
for Shanice and PT.

I-I can feel some sensations,

but I-I really can't move 'em
at all yet.

Is that what you're going with?

What?

Is that what you
plan on telling Ash?

When you're actually making
real progress?

A-Actually thinking
about waiting

and making it a big surprise,

like the ones you see online.

Where the bride walks
down the aisle at her wedding

and her husband-to-be
miraculously stands up

out of his wheelchair,
take the vows.

I mean, how awesome
would that be?

Bro, she will be blown away.

You're talking about months
from now.

Yeah.

So you plan on keeping
this secret for months?

No way, man.

I'm not going along with that.

Why are you even keeping it
from Ashley anyway?

For the big surprise.

Like with the proposal
the first time around.

You didn't mind
keeping that secret.

This is different
and you know it.

Obviously she will want to know

that your legs
are feeling better.

She's a nurse, man.
She can even help you.

And what if this is
as good as it gets?

What if I can never walk again?

And like I said before, I...

I'm not getting her hopes up
for nothing.

Aren't your hopes up right now?

Why should you be the only one
that can enjoy that?

Ashley wants to be your partner.

Your life partner.
That means

going through all the ups
and downs together.

She signed up for that.

Which means she has a right
to know the truth.

Ooh, girl.
Have you heard the latest?

Dupree tea?

-Fill me up.
-[squeals softly]

Okay, okay, okay.

Now, you've heard
about Dani carrying on

with Nicole's nephew Andre.

I know Naomi must have told
Ashley all about it by now.

I did hear a little something
about that.

I was under the impression that
things cooled off between them.

I mean, it couldn't have been
all that serious

to begin with, right?

Especially given
what a world-class player

he supposedly is.

Well, apparently,
we were both wrong.

Because a few nights ago,

Dani and Andre flew to Las Vegas
and eloped.

Mama, if you are dying
to living the hotel lavish life,

this place
really isn't crushing it.

I know what you're doing,
little girl.

But, believe me, Ted does not
need nor want your protection.

But I'm not worried about Ted.

I'm worried about you.

Okay, I know
how you think, Mama.

And I don't see this working out
how you imagined it.

And, honestly,
it breaks my heart

to see you can't just let it go.

Like, you're probably
gonna crash out over this.

You know what breaks my heart?

The fact that my daughter
is so scarred

by my disappointments to her
from my past

that you're so afraid
to even try to be happy.

That's not what I'm saying.

Isn't it, though?

Look at you.

Sitting here all alone,

waiting for Tomas to realize
he's with the wrong sister.

You are the one who told me
to let Kat have him

-in the first place.
-Okay.

So what I am telling you now is,

baby, go for it.

All right?

Go for it. It's...

He can't be happy
with Miss Thing.

Really. I mean, look at her.

She's-she's a spoiled,
little stuck-up brat.

Who could be happy with that?

Someone who just doesn't
even give ten-second thought

to anybody but herself.

Yeah. So?

So, what you gonna do
about it? Huh?

Are you gonna let Kat just screw
everything up all on her own?

So, what, I'm supposed
to just compete with Kat

in the world she owns?

You and Tomas are
really good friends, right?

Yeah.

-Mm.
-We've kind of caught feelings
for each other.

-Mmm.
-And we can talk for hours.

[chuckles]

You know why?

Because you are smart.

And you are easy to be around.

And you've got
good people sense.

He knows the value of that.

Everybody doesn't think
like you, Mama.

Okay? Tomas is not
an opportunist.

He really thought
Kat cared about him,

and he's finding out
that he was wrong.

Then you show him
that you are the better option.

The chemistry
is all on your side.

And that I'm sure about.

-Oh, gosh.
-Hmm?

-Mama, you've been here forever.
-What?

-Oh.
-Come on. I have to go to work.

I'm gonna be late.

Oh, no, you go ahead, honey.

'Cause, um, I've got someone
coming over to meet me here.

Huh? You can't do that.

Mm-hmm. I mean,
the way I see it,

it's already my room anyway.
[chuckles]

-Oh, gosh.
-Ta-ta.

-Bye.
-Love ya!

-Love you, too.
-Mm-hmm.

[door closes]

[sighs]

MONA:
Just beautiful, Ashley.

ASHLEY:
Thank you, Mona.

I love finally wearing it.

Have you set a date yet?

Uh, not yet.

Uh, soon. But we don't want
to rush things, you know?

There's so much going on
right now.

-I don't want
to add this on top.
-[phone buzzes]

MONA:
Mm-hmm.

Oh.

Hey, uh, Vanessa.

Hi, Jan.
Are you at my house yet?

Uh, not quite,

but I'm on my way
to your place now.

I'm not there. I'm at Uptown.

Could you do me a favor
and bring my wallet?

I left it somewhere
in the house. I'm...

I'm-I'm on-on my way
to see the kids.

I've got to deliver
some terrible news.

Oh, no. [gasps]

Oh.

[stammers]
I can't believe it.

That is-- that is horrible.

I am...

I am so sorry.

[sniffles]

Oh.

[sniffles]

[sighs]:
Oh.

[sniffles]

Vanessa.

My heart is breaking
for you and the twins.

[sighs]

Doug was such
a kind human being.

Everybody loved him.
[sniffles]

Thank you.
[chuckles softly]

I-I probably could have gone
to get it myself, but...

[sniffles]

it...

it just hurts so much
to be in that house right now.

E-Everywhere I look,
there's a-a family photo

or something else of his.

[chuckles] After the police
called to tell me

what had happened,
I still expected to look up

and see him walking
through the door.

[sighs, sniffling]

I can't imagine.

Mm.

I will do anything I can
to help.

You just ask.

Thank you.

[footsteps approaching]

Vanessa.

Uh, you sounded shaky
on the phone,

so I thought I'd come
and see if you were okay.

Hey. Joey, this is Jan Morgan.

She works for us at the house.

Jan, Joey Armstrong, my...

business partner.

Peaches. Hi, welcome.

Come here, girl. Give me a hug.

-[chuckles]
-Oh.

Oh.

-Mmm.
-So good to see you.

Good to see you. Come on in.

All right, uh, you can sit or,
actually, I don't know.

Can I get you anything?

I-I had some croissants
and-and juice sent up.

No, thank you. I'm fine.

Um, you staying here now?

Well, just until my new home
is ready.

I got to get you caught up.
Yeah.

My entire life has turned around
since we last saw each other.

And, uh,

it's all because of you

and going through the trouble
of helping me

learn about my inheritance.

Well, knowing you and Eva
will be all right

just brings me peace. Mm.

You remember those lawyers?

-Yeah.
-I hired them.

I asked them to do me a favor
and look into your situation.

This is for you.

Listen, man, I've heard
every argument you've given me

about staying quiet
about your legs,

but none of it makes sense.

Well, it's my life.

I shouldn't have to defend it.

And this is
how I'm gonna handle it.

That argument
might work with Shanice.

She's got to do what you say
because of the privacy laws.

But you got to give me
a better reason.

Wh-What's so hard
about keeping your mouth shut?

This...
It's got nothing to do with you.

When you're asking me
to keep a secret from my wife,

it's got everything to do
with me.

We don't move like that.

What am I supposed to tell her

when all this stuff
comes to light?

How am I supposed
to justify lying to her?

You tell her
it wasn't your secret to tell.

Simple.

You need a new moral compass.

[scoffs]
Don't judge me.

I've lost enough control
over my life.

I can't walk. I can't work.

The one thing I can do
is make my own choices,

and you damn sure are not
gonna take that away from me.

Look at you, man.

You're pissed right now.

This isn't some fun surprise
at your wedding.

What are you trying to do,

test Ashley to see
if she'll stick by you?

Come on, man. It's Ash.

She's born for this.

And, plus,
she's told me a million times

that she's gonna be by my side

whether I get up out
of this chair or not.

And what if you do?

Then what?

Is that what this is about?

You think
she's just sticking around

'cause she feels sorry for you?

SHANICE:
This just seems

so unreal.

I mean, I knew something was off
with Dr. McBride.

He'd been real erratic lately,
but...

And then he just quit.

But to drive drunk?

Well, the more drunk you are,
the less drunk you know you are.

-And poor Vanessa
and their kids.
-Oh.

They were saying at breakfast
that the kids don't know yet,

so Vanessa's on the way to their
campus to tell them in person.

Hey.

-What's up, y'all?
-[sniffles]

Um, Ashley, I...

You know what?
Sorry to interrupt.

Um, are y'all two okay?

Uh, yeah. We just, um...

We got some really terrible news
about someone we've worked with.

Ah. Man.
[stammers]

Hey, I'm really sorry
to hear that.

Um, Ashley, do you mind
if I talk to you for a minute?

Yeah.

[clears throat]

Hey.

So...

What is it?

Okay, I need
to tell you something

before you hear it
through the rumor mill.

You got married.
[chuckles softly]

-I heard.
-Yeah.

But, look, I'd like to explain.

[chuckles]
Seems pretty...

self-explanatory,
don't you think?

Dani and I have gotten closer.

I see. So, um, it wasn't
just a casual relationship

-that she wanted after all.
-[chuckles softly]

-It's not what it looks like.
-Mm.

Is that a ring?

Yeah.

It's the one I shouldn't
have turned down months ago.

This is the way it was supposed
to turn out all along.

I don't see it that way at all.

[Leslie chuckles softly]

This sure is a-a lot of zeros.
I'm...

I'm not sure what to say.

Say that you'll take
some of that and use it

towards your medical expenses

and hire you
some home health aides, please?

-[chuckles softly]
-[Peaches sighs]

I just want you
to be comfortable

while you're going
through this illness.

[stammers]
Where would I even...

[scoffs]
...even find that kind of care?

Don't worry about it, Peaches.

I told you, I got lawyers,

and they know all about it.

And I rented you
your own apartment

where I've been living.

I need you
to get plenty of rest.

And also get to know
my daughter Eva.

Yeah. She'll
be staying there, too.

And she can look in on you.

I wasn't expecting any of this.

Thank you, Dana.

Peaches...

I hate that I taught you
not to expect anything of me.

But I'm a different person now.

And to tell you the truth...

...I'm really ashamed of the way
that I behaved towards you.

You took in
another woman's child.

You gave me a safe
and comfortable home.

And all I gave you in return
was a headache.

I sure didn't know how to handle
a hardheaded girl like you.

-[chuckles softly]
-Just did my best.

I know you did, Peaches.

And now I am going to do my best

to give you all the respect

and the comfort
that you deserve.

-I love you.
-I love you.

Thank you so much.

Is that what you think?

That Ashley just came back
for a pity party?

No.

But I wonder
if that's what you think.

What I see is
Ashley really loves you.

So I don't understand why
you're keeping her in the dark.

Jacob,

I don't know
yet what's going on.

Those feelings,

which are
just twinges right now,

might not be anything.

They might go away.

Or they might be the start
of you getting better.

You're about to be a husband.

Don't go into your marriage
with a secret like that.

And what kind of friend
would I be

if I let you keep that secret?

I'll make you a deal.

If I start to notice
a big leap in my progress,

if I really feel like
I'm on the road to recovery,

I'll say something.

But I have to be the one to
decide when and how to do that.

Is that all right with you?

The only reason
Dani and I got married

is because we got wasted
and went to Vegas.

You sound like a kid.

You did it for the plot? Lame.

I'm saying that it's not
about some deep commitment.

And it sure isn't a sign

that things turned out the way
that they should have.

I know you're looking for those,

trying to convince yourself
that things--

that you made
the right decision.

What are you talking about,
Andre?

I'm talking about this.

It's little more than a notion.

-Like me going to Vegas
with Dani.
-That is not true.

I put a lot of thought
into this.

And you said you supported it.

I support you having
what you want.

But I can't make myself believe
that you're gonna be happy

with this guy
when you weren't before.

Yes, I was.

Is that why we had a night
of a thousand tissues at Uptown

after you gave him back
his ring?

[stammering]

I had cold feet back then.

And, besides, that was in my era

of crushing on world-traveling
players with cameras.

Mm. Well...

...I think you're taking
the easy way out.

I think Derek is
your comfort zone.

Okay, well, you know what,
we can't all be as wild

and reckless as you and Dani.

Maybe you are perfect
for each other,

just like me and Derek.

-Ashley, please--
-Andre.

I have to get back to work.

I don't want
to talk about this again.

Take care of yourself, Vanessa.

I am praying
for you and the kids.

I'll take care
of everything at the house.

And I called the office--

I'll follow up,

make sure
that they handle your clients.

Thank you.
[chuckles softly]

I can drive you to the campus.

You could drop me off
at a coffee shop or something

while you see the kids.

I just don't want you to make
that drive upset and alone.

That's really thoughtful, Joey,

but my friend Nicole
already offered to drive me,

so I won't be alone
or behind the wheel.

Oh, good.

I'm glad you have someone
you can lean on.

So, I'll just, uh...

I'll see you when you get back.

This is-- Wow, Naomi.

We're actually having a baby.

Okay. All right,

we got to level up.

My family's filing a wrongful
death suit against you,

the bartender,

and the whole casino.

And we're not stopping

until we shut you guys down.

I just had a thought.
Why don't I move in?

Move in here?

Is that the look of shame?

It's gonna be amazing, Chels.

Our very own at-home

-shopping experience.
