Previously on
Reasonable Doubt...

-Hey, Daddy.
-May I come in?

I haven't seen you
in over eight years.

I'd love to explain things.

I've been clean for
about five years now.

Thought I knew all
the Black coders.

Aren't very many of us around.

Uh, so your programming
languages are?

C++, Python, and
the regular ones.

Cannot stand Hattie anymore.

She said that when you
and Mom were separated,

that you got her mom pregnant.

I think that we have to
tell the kids about Jaden.

I'm not everyone. I'm
your fuckin' husband!

-Good night, Chris.
-Night.

I met a girl, and I don't know why
I can't stop thinking about her.

Love is a risk. I say go for it.

So, he disclosed that he was
sexually abused as a child.

He overdosed.

When Ozzie wants something,
he finds a way to get it.

Ozzie was clean
for over two years.

If the first time he did
drugs was that night...

Someone brought him the drugs.

Someone who cares more
about their own secret

than protecting Ozzie's future.

Okay, listen, I need
you to come forward.

You know, it's pretty early,

and we didn't say
we were stopping by.

That's the point.

Jax. Hi.

Hi.

And, Daniel.

Hello, ma'am.

Uh, Ozzie's asleep,
but I can go...

Uh, actually,
we're here for you.

Can we talk? Out here.

Okay.

What's going on?

We're trying to wrap
our minds around Ozzie

and his drug use the
night of the murder.

Do you have any idea
how he got the drugs?

I don't know.

Uh, he was doing so well, it
caught us all by surprise.

So, no hidden stash, maybe?

Wendy and I didn't
always see eye to eye,

but she helped Ozzie stay clean.

She found coke in
his shoebox once,

and, I mean, she
completely lost it.

Like, no way Ozzie would have had
drugs in the house after that.

Except for the other night
when he almost overdosed.

Okay, um, yeah.

That night, I gave Ozzie drugs.

But only because
he's been, you know,

living in this legal shit storm.

But I swear,

I did not give him anything
the night Wendy was killed.

Alright. Thank you
for your honesty.

-Yeah.
-Hmm.

Jury selection is coming up,
which means his trial is starting.

And if there's someone
out there who can help us

solidify Ozzie's alibi,
then we need to find them,

so that they can help us
keep Ozzie out of jail.

Now, if you're fine with not
helping your brother, then that...

Maybe Byron?

He was Ozzie's main
supplier years ago.

I mean, they were really
close until Ozzie got sober.

Do you have any idea
where we can find him?

I may have an old number.

Um, if not, I'll do
my best to get it.

Thank you, Kristin.

-Uh, um, thank you much.
-Yeah.

Appreciate your help.

Have a good day... citizen.

Follow up on that lead.

But more importantly,
keep an eye on her.

She's lying about something.

Huh.

You've been spending
time with her, right?

Oh, yeah. Well, while I'm
with Ozzie, she's here.

And I'm here, so
we... we're both here.

You know, I've got my eyes
all over her... uh, the case.

Alright, y'all, I got a
little bit of tea for y'all.

They picking the jury in the
Ozzie Edwards case this week.

And I gotta tell you, I haven't been
this locked in on a case since OJ.

Some say he the next victim of Hollywood
taking a successful Black man down.

'Cause when the LAPD find...

Bill, what is this?

Got something for ya.

Petunias, your favorite.

Peonies are my favorite.

Isn't that what I just said?

No, but it doesn't matter.

Look, I thought we agreed
to give each other space.

You still don't seem to get it.

I know, but...

happy anniversary.

It was yesterday.

Right.

Come on, I'm...

I'm trying to prove to
you that I'm learning.

Bill, s-stop, please.

Okay, lis... Okay,
I'm sorry. I'm sorry.

Hey, listen. Have you heard
about the Ozzie Edwards case?

Of course. It's everywhere.

I'm second chair.

And if I kill it, I'm finally
gonna make partner without a hitch.

-Congratulations.
-Thanks.

I'm glad the relationship you
chose is working out for you.

Anything else?

Jury selection starts Monday, and
since I have the kids this weekend,

I was hoping I could drop 'em
off a little early on Sunday.

So, those flowers aren't
just for our anniversary.

As always, you have
a hidden agenda,

and you still think that your
time is more important than mine.

Oh, whoa, I didn't say that.

The answer is no, Bill.

You're gonna have
to figure it out.

Just like tonight, I'm gonna have
to figure out how to finish a brief

before starting the
two-hour routine

of putting our three
kids to bed by myself.

Well, you don't have
to be by yourself.

That's your choice.
You chose that, not me.

I was alone long
before you left. Trust.

Oh. Yeah, okay.

Come on. Kendra!

Happy anniversary, Bill.

Hey, Sam, can you
come here real quick?

Hey, man.

I just got word that the code on
Ghetto Superstar is still incorrect.

What's up?

So, um...

I never actually learned
to properly code C++.

I thought because I had a
strong handle on C Sharp

that it wouldn't be a problem,

but C++ is proving to be a
little bit more complicated.

Look, I appreciate
your honesty, but...

Uh, I have a friend that's
teaching me to code in C++.

It's just taking a little
bit longer than I thought.

But, I swear, I'm
doing everything I can.

You know, as Black men,

we don't really get
many chances like this.

Like, I... I can't fail.

Alright, look.

Man, I-I can only cover
for you for so long,

but you're gonna have to work
overtime some weekends unpaid

to catch up fast.

A hundred percent.
Not a problem.

Hey, man, thank you
for this chance.

Okay, braids.

Thanks, Krystal.

So, Daniel and I spoke
to Kristin this morning.

She gave us the contact info of
Ozzie's former dealer, Byron,

who might've brought drugs
over to Ozzie's condo

the night Wendy went missing.

Daniel, did you find him?

Uh, not yet, still
working on it,

but in a surprising twist
that no one saw coming,

drug dealers are not eager to answer
texts or calls from unknown numbers.

Okay, so this guy Byron

can solidify your
working theory?

Yeah. We're hoping
that he can testify

that after Wendy left to cool
off from her fight with Ozzie,

that he came over to the condo,

and the two of them spent the
rest of the night getting high.

Meanwhile, while Wendy
was at the cabin,

she was targeted by a drifter,

the same individual linked to a
string of robberies in the area.

Though the police refused
to even investigate

any possible connection of
that drifter to Wendy's death.

-Hmm.
-That's wild.

Which is why our theory
is that during the course

of an attempted
robbery at the cabin,

Wendy was killed with
a gun Ozzie owned.

The assailant then
fled the scene

and discarded her phone and purse
off the side of the 91 Freeway.

All while Ozzie
remained at home

getting high to the point
of complete incapacitation.

Hmm. Though I will say the drugs
and the abuse feel parallel.

So, not only is he innocent in
this random crime gone wrong,

but also, we can portray
him as a broken man

who was forced into a life of
drug and sexual abuse as a child.

Then after years of searching,

he finally found someone who
not only helped him get clean

but was committed to spending
the rest of her life with him.

Now, she's dead.

He has no possible motive,
just pain and loss.

Well, damn, you
just convinced me.

Okay, who else do
we have to turn?

I'll be right back.

You guys got any plans tonight?

Uh, no need to fill the silence.

I might go see a movie.

Oh, really? Uh, which one?

I'm not sure. Something violent.

I did not think you
were gonna say that.

-Wha...
-Hmm.

W... Oh, thank God, Jax is back.

Everyone, this is
Susan from Accounting.

-Hi, Susan.
-Hi, Susan from Accounting.

Susan, what do you think
about Ozzie Edwards?

Um...

I, I liked him in
that show he was in.

But after watching that
horrible video, I don't know.

Yeah, it was tough
to watch. I agree.

Susan, what if I told you
that Ozzie was an addict?

How would that make you feel?

I wouldn't be surprised.

I hear Hollywood is full
of evils and temptations,

real-life sharks.

That it is.

But what if I told
you he was abused?

What kind of abuse?

Sexual.

And as a child, might I add.

He was also forced to be
the head of his household

at a young age.

And to cope with that,
he turned to drugs.

Oh, my God.

Is this true?

Well, that would make me
understand why he is the way he is.

I would pray for him
that he can find peace.

Are you religious?

Yes, E-Episcopalian.

My daughter and I go
to church every week.

Susan, thank you so much.

This has been extremely helpful.

Thank you.

-Good job.
-Thank you.

So, white, Bible-thumping
mothers that watch a lot of TV?

White or Black.

And if at first, they
think he's a monster, fine.

But we are gonna make the public
focus on who made him one.

Agreed.

Because if we shine a light on
the person that abused Ozzie,

we introduce an additional suspect with
a possible motive for killing Wendy.

When should we go talk to Ozzie?

Well...

You know what?

First thing in the morning.
It's already gettin' late.

See you guys tomorrow.
It's gonna be great.

Do you think we'll still do this

It's not that far away.

And, damn, we ain't that old.

Oh, I mean, these grays are becoming
more ubiquitous by the week.

Ubi... You know, I
love that you use

SAT words and still
know how to ride a dick.

Mm!

Does that make me an anomaly?

-Mm.
-Mm-hmm?

Insatiable?

Mm.

-Lascivious?
-Mm.

Fuck, you trying
to do this again.

How much time do we have?

Not enough for questions.

Mm.

Yeah, we'll see.
I'll call you later.

Sounds like the eagle's landed.

-Oh, hell.
-Yeah, I know.

Damn it.

Hey, baby.

Hey, you excited Spenser's
gonna be home t...

This...

Naima, every second
this door stays locked

is one more day on punishment.

One...

two...

three...

What the hell is wrong with you?

It is not okay for
you to ignore us,

and you damn sure don't
slam doors in this house.

But it's okay for Dad to have a
baby with my best friend's mom?

Okay, I know this is awkward.

We didn't want you guys to
find out the way you did.

We wanted to tell you,
and... in our own way,

you know, when both
of you were home.

Best school break ever.

Look... we weren't trying
to keep anything from you.

Oh, my God, I am so sorry

we didn't figure out a way
to tell you this sooner.

Oh, really?

'Cause I gave Dad a chance
to tell me the truth,

and you didn't.

You lied to me, Dad. I...

It-it's-it's more
complicated than that, baby.

Your...

Your mom and I had a
lot to work through.

Yeah.

And then when-when the baby...

transitioned...

there was this extra
layer of-of-of trauma

for us to consider, and...

I went to Hattie's
every single week.

I saw her mom pregnant,
then not pregnant.

And nobody said anything.

Just kept on smiling in my
face like everything's normal.

It makes me so mad.

Okay, anger is-is fair.

Okay? It's-it's understandable.

But just like we did, we...

We are gonna talk this through.

We will continue to
love one another,

and we will get
to the other side.

Okay?

Is-is there anything
you wanna ask us?

Anything?

Yeah, a-anything.

Yeah.

Okay.

Why do you guys like
to ruin everything?

It's like this family's never
good enough for you two.

So great to be back home.

You want me to go
public with the abuse?

-Uh, I don't think that's...
-It's okay, Ozzie. It's difficult to...

No, it's not okay.

This is gonna be everywhere.
How do you not get that?

Of course, we get that you
don't wanna tell people

about the sexual abuse,

but I'm afraid we are
running out of options.

And time.

How does telling
the world about...

that help my case?

People love to see celebrities
go down without context.

The drugs and the bad behavior

are the actions of yet another
immoral and entitled star.

And between the dead
girlfriend in the woods

and you possibly spending the
rest of your life in prison,

it's just karma aired out
publicly for their enjoyment.

Look, context is all we have to
sway the narrative in the media

while also ensuring that
we have enough jurors

who are specifically
empathetic to your past.

-Bill, would you give us a second?
-Of course.

I know what you're feeling.

You feel silly for not
knowing it was abuse,

for not stopping it,
for letting it go on...

for hating them,
for forgiving them.

And the only thing
you can imagine

that's worse than how
you feel right now

is the fear of other
people finding out,

the fear of them judging you,
the fear of embarrassment.

But that embarrassment
only feels real

because you've been
carrying it alone.

But releasing it is brave.

Releasing it means that that
fear loses its control over you.

And from there, it only
gets smaller and smaller.

Trust me.

Did they...

Do they still have
power over you?

No. No, he does not.

And at some point, I realized
that he only wanted me to think

that he did when, in
actuality, he never did.

Does this person still
have power over you?

Does it matter?

I lost any power I had
the day that Wendy died.

So, let's say I
agree to do this.

What next?

I go to TZT?

Or do some, some interview
with Jennifer Hudson,

talking, talking about my childhood abuse
after dancing down the spirit tunnel?

-No, no, none of that. None of that.
-"Hey. Guess what?"

We will make sure that the information
comes out officially in court,

so that it doesn't have the
stench of a PR machine. Okay?

However, I will say

that before we share this
information with the public...

I think you should tell
your parents first.

♪ Mustard on the beat, ho ♪

Good afternoon, everyone.

Let's go ahead and
proceed without delay.

People, you may inquire.

Could I see a show of hands

from those whose family members
have been victims of crime?

All my mothers, a show of hands.

And now avid
television watchers.

And who here attends
religious services regularly?

Juror three, you stated
that you worked as a P.A.

for various television shows.

Yes, that's right.

As a P.A., did you ever
encounter any difficulties

with the actors you worked with?

Oh, plenty.

Uh, most of 'em weren't
very kind to support staff.

The People would ask the
Court to thank and excuse

potential juror number three.

No objection from the Defendant.

Juror number three, thank
you for your service.

You are dismissed.

Uh, isn't that a
juror he would want?

It is, but Chad is
playing his own jury game.

Juror 12, you stated that your
father dealt with addiction.

He did. It was
rough for all of us.

I'm sorry to hear that.
Did he ever seek treatment?

I don't know.

He got lost in his addiction.

But I'd open up my door
to him if he ever knocked.

The People would ask the
Court to thank and excuse

potential juror number 12.

His strategy is to let
go of all the Black men.

But we're gonna
reserve our challenges

for our strongest jurors,
compassionate women.

Now, you've stated that you love
watching shows on the ID Channel.

I do. It's my favorite pastime
while cleaning or folding laundry.

The Defendant asks the
Court to thank and excuse

potential juror number two.

Let's conclude for today
and resume again tomorrow.

Thank you, everyone.

-Oh, wow.
-Well, damn.

Can we at least cheers first?

You right, you right.

I'm just so excited
to finally see y'all.

To us finally being able

to get our crazy
schedules aligned.

-Right?
-Ooh, talk about it.

And to us prioritizing
each other.

-Hmm.
-And to these shots.

-Hey.
-Mm!

And to fucking adulting.

To fucking adulting.

-Cheers.
-And to a healthy pregnancy.

-Hmm.
-What?

-What? Hmm?
-Wait, what?

-Hold on. What? Oh, my...
-Are you serious?

Yep! I got a bun in my oven.

Autumn!

-No, no, this...
-No! Girl, you did not tell me.

Thank you. Oh, and can
somebody drink this for me?

You know I got you.

-You got it.
-Oh, my God. How are you feeling?

Good. It's still early, but
I saw the doctor yesterday.

And at the same time, I don't wanna
jinx anything by getting too excited.

Well, listen, we are
gonna get excited for you,

because this is already the
luckiest baby in the world, girl.

Okay, okay, let me stop
before I start to cry.

Oh, my gosh.

-Thank you.
-Yes, thank you.

Oh!

Well, in other kid news,

that text about Spense and
Naima finding out about Jaden.

Girl, I nearly choked on my
crouton when I read that.

-They still mad?
-Yeah.

And the way they
found out about it.

I mean, it just makes
me feel so much worse.

You know, I talked to Naima,

and the hurt in my
baby girl's eyes,

it just... broke my heart.

I mean, it-it kills me to think
about what she thinks of me now

as a woman, as a
mother, as a wife.

You know? And no
matter what I say,

she doesn't understand
how I let this happen.

So, yeah, she around the house
slamming doors, being rude.

You know? And I can't...
I can't say nothing.

Jax, the fact that you
care will go a long way.

Give it time.

And speaking of time,
it's time to pee again.

-Mm.
-Get used to it.

But no more tea spilling
until I get back.

-Hold on. I'll come with you, girl.
-Okay.

But same. About the tea.

Huh, you know I like it hot.

So nosy. Bye.

Goodness gracious.

Hmm.

I'm fuckin' Chris.

Like in the divorce?

No, like in my vagina.

He and I have been
having secret sex.

Do not tell Shanelle and Autumn.

Sally! What the fuck?

Mm. Who knew that angry
dick would be so bomb?

And he is big, man.

-I feel it in every motherfuckin' pump.
-Okay.

Girl, listen, I'm all about
some angry makeup sex,

but, I mean, do you even know

that you're the only person
he's having sex with?

I don't know.

Why would you even ask me?

Oh. I see.

Now that things are solid
between you and Lewis,

you think that you're the
only one who can be happy.

-Oh, that is not true.
-Oh, it's true.

-'Cause you're a fucking hater.
-Oh!

And you've been a fuckin'
hater since high school.

And you've been a ho
since high school.

-Now what?
-I'll tell you what.

-Now what?
-Uh, what y'all talking about?

-Who is gonna be the baby's godmother.
-Aw.

-Right, Sally?
-Mm-hmm.

Me, of course. We know that.

We do know that.

No. Clearly, it's me.

Oh, wow. That
laptop still open?

-Hmm.
-Everything okay?

You know, Sam confessed
to not knowing C++,

something we use on
all our projects.

And when we talked about
it, all I could see

was a Black man
squandering an opportunity.

Ahh.

That's why you're up till
10:00 p.m. and he's not.

I didn't think
about it like that.

Mm-hmm.

You know, I believe in sending
the ladder back down, too.

But he is the one who
has to do the climbing.

'Cause if you pull him up
too hard, you both will fall.

Facts.

But, damn, this shit is hard.

Yeah.

Well, you know how I know we
both have been working too hard?

Hmm.

We are on our last
roll of toilet paper.

I was gonna go to the store,

but now it's giving
Amazon Subscribe and Save.

Bam. Done. Easy.

Thank you, baby.

You know, I've been thinking
about my dad and the kids.

I know you're scared
of more trauma,

but what if us keeping Eddie
away is like Toni and Jaden?

You know? Just more lies.

Yeah.

I hear you.

Alright, so how about this?

When you truly believe that Eddie
is the man you want him to be...

then he can meet our kids.

But until then, I...

I think it's best he stay away.

Is that a fair compromise?

Yeah.

Yeah, it is.

I'll, um... I'll give
you three a minute.

No. Can you...

Can you stay? Please?

What's going on?

So, um... my team and I
did some strategizing,

and we think it's best
that we let the public know

about some things that, that
may have happened to me.

What kinda things?

Well...

like everybody hates
me right now...

and...

thinks that I could
have hurt Wendy.

And it could

maybe change the
jury's opinion of me

if they knew what
was done to me...

what I've had to overcome.

Ozzie, you're scaring me.

What... What-what-what
happened to you?

Well, it was a long time ago,

when I was on My
Cousins and Them.

I was, uh...

I was abused.

Sexually.

By who?

I don't wanna say.

Well, you're gonna.

Okay. Okay, listen.

This, this was very difficult
for Ozzie to tell you.

Let alone, uh, uh,

to accept the fact that he needs
to come out with it publicly.

So, I think that
we should respect

how much information
he wants to share.

You want me to
respect the privacy

of the person who forced
himself on my boy?

No, of course not.

But we can respect Ozzie's choice
to share only what he wants.

Baby... why didn't you tell
us this when it happened?

Well, I wanted to.

But I don't know, I was conf...

I was confused.

-Look, she made me...
-She?

Was it that fuckin'
makeup artist...

that hung out in the,
in the trailer with...

Mom, no, no.

Listen, it doesn't matter.

I mean, I'm fine now.

Are you sure about that?

I don't know. I don't know.

I... I don't know what
that feels like, Ma.

I wanna be okay, Ma.

Baby, that is...
That's all we want.

Thanks for telling us, son.

I'm sorry w-we-we couldn't...

No, Dad, you don't
have to be sorry.

Honestly, I was scared that
you wouldn't believe me.

Oh.

Oh, man, of course,
we believe you.

Hey...

and we would've
believed you then.

-Really?
-Yes.

Mm-hmm. Sweetheart, yes.

No matter what has
happened, we still love you.

Mm-hmm.

Okay?

Okay, so you wanna
go like this.

-Don't trip.
-Don't trip.

And then you wanna
turn, turn, turn, turn.

Oh. Okay, I think I got it.

-Okay.
-Ooh.

Okay, five, six, seven, eight.

Eddie. What are you doing here?

What? You said you
were watching the kids,

so I figured I'd stop by.

Eddie, we talked about
not meeting the kids

until I talked to Jax.

What, well, is
Jax or Lewis home?

Mama Lu, who's at the door?

Naima, right?

And Spenser.

Yeah. Nice to meet you.

I'm your mom's dad.

Your grandfather.

Y'all don't know how to speak?

They're in shock.

So, you the one who left my
mama when she was little?

Yeah, this is kinda sus. My
mom said nothing about you.

I mean, besides you leaving.

Oh.

I left because I
was a drug addict.

-Edward.
-What?

They're not babies, Lu.

They're young adults who
deserve to know the truth.

And the truth is...

it took me many years to
get my life back in order.

But, you know, I'm sober now

and would like to get
to know the family

that my disease kept me
away from all these years.

I mean, I don't know, man.

What's all this?

Oh, uh...

This is my social media.
Do dance and stuff.

Oh, yeah?

-Yeah.
-Oh.

Can you teach me?

Oh, okay. Uh, sure. It's
not that hard, okay?

-So, you wanna go like this.
-Uh-huh.

-And then don't trip.
-Don't... Don't trip.

-And then turn, turn, turn.
-Doo, doo.

Dang. You better than Mama Lu.

Hey.

Shoot, I should be. I'm the one
that taught her how to dance.

Not that well, clearly.

Why y'all ganging up on me?

-Pretty much.
-Nah, this is fun, yeah.

How long before your
parents get home?

We don't know,
and we don't care.

Whoa. That's not very nice.

You wouldn't get it.

Mm. Well...

Mm. If I get it...

then you get these.

Wait, so you wanna
get rid of him?

Hey, man, I have no
choice. EXP called.

Sam signed a six-month
non-compete clause,

and he's only been
gone eight weeks.

Unless you tell me he's
some superstar coder

that we'd be idiots to let go.

Hey, you guys wanted to see me?

Yeah. EXP called about
your non-compete clause.

Is there a reason why you
didn't disclose that to us?

I thought enough
time had passed.

Uh, Sam, I'm sorry, but...

we're gonna have to let you go.

So, does that mean

that I don't have to complete
my additional training?

Additional training?

Yeah.

Lewis told me that
I had to complete

an indefinite additional
training period without pay.

And since I'm one of
only three Black men

hired by the Development
Department in its history,

I was willing to give it a
try because I'm committed

to being a part of
the family here.

-Cliff, that is not...
-Sam, we'll let HR handle EXP.

You can go back to work.

-Okay. Thank you, man. Lewis.
-Yeah.

Cliff, this is a
misunderstanding.

You know, Lewis, you're
an excellent employee.

But leadership requires
a different skill set.

You have to guide your team

while also remembering
what's best for the company.

Something to consider... if
you wanna have a future here.

I see y'all are putting
Lewis' promotion to good use.

Look, it's not that much,

and I got deals on our usuals,

plus I set us up for
monthly auto deliveries.

I don't have to go...

Wait, why am I
explaining this to you

like you gonna put me on
punishment or something?

Old habits die hard.

Clearly.

-Hey, Mom.
-Mm.

How are the kids?

Uh, fine. Good.

They're in the
rooms. All is well.

I know what happened.

-Oh, you do?
-Yeah.

They told you about the
whole Toni situation.

-Didn't they?
-Uh, uh, yes. Yes, they did.

Oh, God, Mom,

I really don't know how
we're gonna get over this.

I mean, we spoke to
the therapist about it.

We've spoken to the kids,
you know, but I just...

I can't stop thinking about
how this is gonna affect

our relationship with them
going forward, you know?

All I could do is hope and pray

that they'll be able
to move past this.

I did some things, and
you managed to forgive me.

It'll be fine.

Speaking of forgiveness, have
you spoken to your father?

Yeah, he called me, but I
haven't called him back.

You know, he wants me to
go to one of his shows.

You know, I'm trying to
establish boundaries.

And, plus, Lewis doesn't
want him to meet the kids

until he's stable.

I see.

But I can handle Dad, Mom.

I don't want you feeling like you have
to be a mediator between us, okay?

And I definitely don't want
him using you to get to me.

He's not using me, Jacqueline.

I didn't mean it like
that. I'm saying...

You know, you said that
you can handle Eddie?

So can I.

So, how about you call him back,

so that we don't have to have
these conversations anymore?

Mm-hmm.

Goodbye.

Bye, Ma.

It's not that funny.

-What?
-It's not that funny.

What? These videos
are always so funny.

I don't know if it's
funny, but it's weird.

This shit is fucking hilarious.

Okay, that...
Okay, that's funny.

Oh, my God, you have
to see this part.

This is my favorite.

I'm calling because
one of your employees

may be a little late
back to the office.

-Okay, which one?
-Um, she...

You love trying to seduce me.

No. No. You just... You
have a great laugh. It...

-Mm.
-It's cute.

You guys find what you were
looking for with Byron?

Yeah, thank you.

Um, even though he
wasn't necessarily

with your brother that night,

he did confirm that Ozzie
rarely, if ever, got high alone.

That is true.

But how are you gonna
find this person?

No clue. I mean, your brother's
not really an open book.

Hmm, he was until he got famous.

And... so much makes sense now
that we know about his abuse.

Ozzie played a kid with a big
personality when the cameras were on,

but in real life...

he's a guarded introvert.

It's probably why
he used to journal.

W... What do you mean? D...
Does he still have his journal?

What are you guys doing?

Just talking. Uh,
where's Dr. Gardner?

In my room, packing up.

Hey, you guys hungry?

You know, I could
order some food.

No. I'm good.

I'm also good on
the babysitting,

so you can go home,
and I'll see you, um...

I guess I'll see
you when I see you.

You know, I-I should
probably talk to Jax.

I'll talk to Jax.

Hey, thank you.

Okay, then.

You all have a good night,

and I will see you...

when I see you.

Okay, bye.

Kristin, I, I don't know what the
fuck you're doing or about to do,

but this guy's on my legal team.

So, I can't have him
fucking up my shit

because you got bored of
him like you always do.

Hmm. Yeah, whatever, Ozzie.

Uh, so, uh, how is he?

Uh, he's under a lot of stress.

Yeah, no shit.

My suggestion is medical-grade
cannabis as a therapeutic option

to help with the addiction
cravings and the anxiety.

-Mm-hmm.
-I'll take what I can get.

Get some rest, Ozzie.

Thank you.

Ozzie's innocent!
Ozzie's innocent!

Ozzie's innocent!
Ozzie's innocent!

Ozzie...

Ozzie, we have a report

that your defense is
asking potential jurors

about victims of
sexual violence.

Were you sexually abused?

Who was your abuser?

Did they work with you
on My Cousins and Them?

All of your questions will be
answered soon enough. Thank you.

Daniel, hey.

Kristin, thank
God you picked up.

Hey, are you by any chance,
uh, near Ozzie's condo?

I think one of my notebooks
fell out of my bag

when I was here last time,

and we really need it for
today's jury selection.

This is really bad.

If Ozzie doesn't have it,
we're gonna be screwed.

Okay. Okay, okay,
okay. It's okay.

Um, I'm stuck in the
valley for the next hour,

but Ozzie keeps a spare key
in a fake rock behind the bush

to the right of the front door.

Uh...

Oh.

Kristin, you may have just
saved your brother's life.

I just emailed you the reports,

You have until the end of the day
to make the necessary adjustments,

and if there are any more issues,
you can expect a write-up.

Hi, Dad.

Hey, Mom. Dinner ready?

Uh, yeah. You wash your hands?

Yeah.

This looks good.

Yo, this is definitely
the part I miss the most.

No offense, Naima.

I mean, all good. Mine too.

This is really buss. Maybe
I can help next time.

Uh... Yeah, I'd appreciate that.

Oh, how come y'all never told
us how cool Grandpa Eddie is?

Excuse me?

Yeah, he was over here
yesterday when Mama Lu was here.

And we talked to him
about all the Toni stuff.

I don't know. He just gets it.

And he helped us
kinda get it, too.

I like him. He's cool.

Who's saying grace?

Why don't y'all get
started without us?

We'll be right back.

Yeah.

This is exactly what
I was concerned about.

He's too close.

What, you don't agree?

I am just trying to stay open.

You know, take the
emotion out of it.

I mean, the kids aren't
as mad at us anymore,

and he's responsible for that.

So, now you're, now
you're giving him credit?

No. No, I'm just...

Look, a win is a win.

We agreed to boundaries, Jax.

I know, but if we try to
keep my father away from them

after he just showed up,

they're gonna end up
hating us all over again.

So, you're fine with the
man that's disappointed you

pretty much your whole
life coming in here

and doing that to your kids?

How about instead of believing
that I'm setting them up

for something,
maybe, just maybe,

see that I wanna believe
in the good for once?

It's gonna be okay.

Let's go, let's
go. Everybody out.

Alright.

Dad took us to the pier!

We rode the roller coaster,
like, five times and won these!

Oh, yeah?

I hope you also had time to
finish that Mission project.

Yep, we got it finished.

-Pretty cool, huh?
-It is.

I'll take a look at it inside.

Do you have Sloane's inhaler?

Yeah, uh, it's in
the bag with Ethan.

There we go. Hold on.

Good job, mama.

Hey, baby girl.

Called the pediatrician back.

I talked to Tyler's soccer coach

and helped finish Ethan's
homework with him.

And one last thing.

For you and the kids.

Didn't want you to have to cook.

I may not have
remembered the peonies,

but... be damned if I forget how much
you love your oxtails from Peppers.

Well, thank you. Really.

You're welcome.

And, um...

I'll see you later, Ken.

See you later, Bill.

Can you believe that?

That side of town?

Lewis.

What can I do for you?

I need you to get gone
and stay gone, for good.

-You wanna try that again?
-No.

I think I was clear.

You know what, Lewis?

Almost had a touch
of respect for you,

but then you gotta drag
your virtuous ass in here

like hell on a holiday acting
like you better than me.

At least I took my shit
show on the road, but you,

you stomping your dirty
drawers up in the house,

shitting where you sleep.

At least I was
there, stepping up,

being a father,
a husband, a man.

Yeah, well, I don't
think a real man

would let my daughter get bent
over and kidnapped by some felon

and then get some bitch
from the PTA pregnant.

You...

You talking to my kids about
my business in my house?

Your house?

You mean the one my daughter
pays the mortgage on?

Look at you coming here,
acting like the HNIC,

and, nigga, you can't even
claim head of household

on your own motherfuckin' taxes.

I swear to God...

you lucky you Jax's father,

or I'd have your old ass
laying on the fucking ground.

Yeah, but I am her father.

That's why we both know
you ain't gonna do shit

but shut the fuck up and go
play on 'em little video games.

So, nigga, bye.

Better get home for dinner, son.

That meal won't cook itself.

You good?

Daniel, what's up?

Yo, I found something

and, uh, you're not

-What is it?
-Just listen to this.

"I feel so betrayed.

-"All of my trust, completely broken.
-...completely broken.

How could Wendy
do this to me?"

I didn't know what else to do.

I had to let Monica come over.

But even at my weakest point,

I was finally able
to tell her no.

And I haven't been able to
tell her no since I was 13.

At least that felt like a win.

Let me stop writing,

'cause I'm too fuckin'
high for this shit.

I know this is a lot and the
trial starts tomorrow, but...

...we'll get
through it together.

I miss Wendy.

I'm sorry she's
