-Keegan.
-I'll have those pictures to you

ASAP for the Gondry case.

Great, then you can dive
deeper into Andre Richardson.

There's no way that an
indiscriminate playboy like that

doesn't have
skeletons in his closet,

and I'm paying you
to dig them up.

Listen, talk to the women

that he hooked up with
in Europe,

all right?

We need dirt that we can verify.

I got you, boss.

Investigating
a "model-izer" is way more fun

than class action suits.

You know, one more thing.

Yeah, name it.

Put a tail on him.

-That serious?
-Guys like that,

they don't just stop trolling.

And if he's
already stepping out on my...

daughter's mother,
I want to know about it.

[Dani laughs]

-Wow.
-Yeah.

You know,
sex is some of the best cardio.

You just assume your wifey
is content with her exercise.

Oh, it's like that?

Are you saying
that I didn't get the job done?

No, I'm just messing with you.
I am very satisfied.

Mm. That makes two of us.

My heart is just knocking
looking at you.

You know, you get finer every
single day, Danielle Dupree?

Don't you mean
Danielle Richardson?

Come here, hubby.

I think
I might need some more reps.

♪ ♪

VANESSA:
Donnell.

Baby, what are you doing here?

I was going to ask you
the same thing, Mom.

Am I interrupting?

Never.

You know how much
I love when family comes by.

I was just sitting here
by my lonesome,

waiting up for your father.

I thought Daddy might
be teaching at Banneker tonight.

He is.

And you are
catching up on a good book.

Oh, finding out
who done it can wait.

I'd rather catch up
with my firstborn.

What's wrong?

You're assuming.

I don't need Walter Mosley
or Alyssa Cole to know

that my daughter's got
something weighing on that big,

beautiful brain of hers.

More like my heart.

My mystery is Martin.

And how I can help him
save his family.

-Thank you.
-Mr. Richardson, Mr. Smith,

lovely to have you back.

Can I get you two started
with some drinks?

I'll have an amaretto sour,
please.

And for you, Mr. Richardson?

And I would like--

A rum and soda,

but make it top shelf.

Little kick, light ice.

All right. I'll return
shortly with your drinks.

Also, we're featuring a sharable
duck risotto this evening.

Rich, beautifully dressed

and truly worth trying.

Thank you.

Was I being too presumptuous?

Your drink order
could have changed.

You still know me
better than anyone.

Well, at least you did before.

Hey, we're not here
to look back.

My eyes are on you and a future
that includes both of us.

I thought you were headed
straight home from the station.

That was the plan, but--

I hijacked your mother.

I saw her in the parking lot
and how hard she was trying

to keep everything together,

and I thought maybe
she could use some company

rather than go home

to a house that's full
of food and flowers.

Boy, there's an irony.

The one time the entire world
is sending you food

and you don't even
want to touch it.

I didn't think about that.

And seeing that footage
of Dad's last moments, that...

that was tough.

JOEY:
I want to remind you both.

The man you saw on that tape,

gambling and drinking,
that was not Doug McBride.

Even good men get lost.

I'm sorry. I should have
held off today, of all days.

No, it was me who kept pushing.

Just thinking about
what I needed.

No, baby.

I thought if I could

piece together Dad's last day,

I could piece together Dad.

You know, make the guy
in that video make sense

with the guy I know.

Or knew.

And loved.

It's like that show we liked

where they split
people's lives in two.

I didn't know that side of him,

but if I could put him back
together, then I could start--

or we could start
to say goodbye.

We can't crack Dad's life
like it's some kind of mystery.

That was just
pillow talk earlier, right?

You're not really thinking
about being Mrs. Richardson?

Knowing when it's me talking
and the sex talking.

That is a marital milestone.

I feel like
I'm just getting back to being

completely Dani Dupree.

-Shaking off Dani Hamilton.
-Mm.

I know you're all kinds
of shades of evolved, but...

...does it bother you
if I don't take your name?

No. To me, you'll always
be a one-name woman.

Dani.

You know, you're part of me
getting back to me.

Aw, you'd have gotten here.

We've got something real.

On our own terms.

I've never felt so... so full
and so free with anybody.

Same.

And I wouldn't
want it any other way.

Look, getting Richardson
out of my ex-wife's life

and out of her bed,
is top priority, you understand?

So find me something I can use.

You know I always deliver.

Yeah, you better.

Look, I got to go.

Keep me posted.

Hayley, how long
have you been here?

Long enough.

Ms. Dupree,
I'm still learning you,

but that face
says you're hungry.

Ravenous.

Okay, in that case,
I'll order us some sustenance.

You melted over
that vegan spot's

new kale salad the last time.

-I did.
-Yeah, I know.

He remembers my order.
[giggles]

Well, I'm going to need
something with some more

spice and heft.

You know what
I can't stop thinking about?

What?

Those duck
barbecue sliders you showed me

-on Orphey Gene's secret menu.
-Mm.

Ooh, with
the fried green tomatoes

and collards on the side.

And cornbread.

Damn, woman. You...

-I don't play.
-...you don't play. Damn.

Well, you got me to this place.

It's only fair that you feed me
before you feed me again.

Okay. Well, say less.

I'll be back as fast as I can.

Oh. In that case,

take the Maserati.

Dani, you are a walking,
talking, toxic storm.

You are a heartless,

manipulative bastard.

And you are...

...incredibly beautiful.

Get out of my head, Bill.

Baby, it's not
what you think, all right?

-What you just heard--
-You have zero boundaries,

after all this time,
all these promises.

Hayley, I can explain--

Why you had to check
your business on our time again?

I know Keegan's voice.
You're still micromanaging

the class action suit.

You got me, baby.

I've tried everything

to make our home
a work-free zone.

Most of it involved lingerie.

But this is
just who you are, isn't it?

I have to take it or leave you.

And your decision is?

I'm not going anywhere.

You are my...

happily ever after
till death do us part.

[Bill chuckles]

I feel it, too,
the seesaw between

it not feeling real
and this ache

where Doug's supposed to be.

Whatever you need,
I am right there with you.

Even if it crushes you?

Mom, you were destroyed
by that video,

and I did that to you by having
Jacob show us the footage.

I don't want to pile on.

No, baby.

You and your sister are what
are keeping me upright.

I just can't quiet this voice
in my head that wants answers.

I know. I-I know, baby,
and I wish I could

give that to you, but...

I think we should
get a server over here,

and we should probably get some
food into you, too, Donnell.

Jacob had the same idea,
but now I don't know if I can.

I appreciate all the levers
you're pulling just for us to--

I'm happy to.

Well, I hope Drake
was of some service.

He was forthcoming.

I laid into him for
not calling Dad a rideshare.

He said he wanted to, but...

Dad was already out the door.

What Drake said lines up with

what we saw on the tape.

I told him to stay in town
just in case

anything else
comes up about that night.

I can't imagine
he has anything else to offer,

but that's a good idea.

We may not be able
to bring Doug back,

but I think we all
want the same thing,

and that's for you to feel that

the answers to your questions

have been answered.

Thanks, Joey.

Think nothing of it.

You know, I know a bit
about where you're at.

A reckless decision by my mother
ultimately led to her death.

Drunk driving?

No, she was a beautiful woman
who believed

that the scalpel
was the fountain of youth.

She was addicted.

To plastic surgery.

And it didn't matter that
she was already beautiful

or that she had a son who would
have traded all that beauty

just to spend
some more time with her.

I'm sorry about your mom.

Yeah, well, like you,
I did my due diligence.

I would not rest until I had
her medical records in my hands,

and I could see that
she had been doctor shopping

until she found one who was
unaware of her medical history.

Once you had the receipts?

Then I did what
I wasn't ready to do.

I mourned her.

Once you have all of
your questions answered,

you can look at the entirety
of your father's life,

not just his last moments.

Thank you for helping me
accomplish that, Joey.

Think nothing of it.

I feel like it's a first date.

I see you got a new sweater.
I got a whiff of new cologne.

And I'm a little nervous

I might forget
which fork to use.

You know what people
don't do on first dates?

Dissect them.

What are you in the mood for?

So, what did we decide?

Everything looks good to me.

I'll take it all.

You know, no one ever
really shows their entire self.

But the version of your father

that he showed you
and your sister,

that's the only
truth that counts.

I should go.

Can't you stay for
one more scotch?

Joey, stay.

I'd like to buy dinner.
It's the least I can do.

I'm honored,

but your mother
has spent the entire day

hosting people
who respected your father

and softening the loss
for the rest of us,

so I think the two of you
could probably benefit

from a little quiet time
without people coming

to get something from you,

even if it's just
to wish you well.

So, rain check?

Yeah, that'd be cool.

Don't hesitate to
reach out if you need anything.

Thank you, Joey, for everything.

Now that we have the tea,

let's explore
what's troubling you

so I can serve up some sympathy.

Oh, we both know empathy
and a healthy dose

of tough love
is more your strong suit.

It's a mother's job
to make sure her children

have the skills
to navigate through life.

You don't need me
fighting your battles.

You and Dani...

have been battle-ready
for a long time now.

Oh, I don't know
about that part.

You and your sister
just have different ways

of taking on your challenges.

Dani pointed out
we have matching scars

from our cheating exes.

And my way of coping lately
can accurately be described

as very "Dani-esque."

That's overstating.

I confronted my husband's
mistress in public

and went for her throat.

A momentary lapse.

And you have come nowhere close
to mimicking Hurricane Dani.

Well, talk to the id because
logic has left the building

and feelings
are running the show.

Or... they're buried deep.

You're not here
to discuss the state

of my grandson's marriage,
are you?

What else could it be?

I think you're here
because you're questioning

the state of your own heart.

Did you pick up on
what I'm wearing?

That's your outfit
from our first date.

That takes me back.

To a good place, I hope.

Has me thinking
about our first few dates.

All outside the DMV,
of course, because

we didn't want anybody
to know until we knew.

I wanted to show you off
on the first day.

Yeah, me too.

But I kind of like that time
I was able to take you places

few Duprees had ever gone.

Drive-in movies,
every chain restaurant

-there ever was.
-[both laugh]

I'm surprised
we didn't gain like 20 pounds.

Well, we sweat it off waiting
in line at those theme parks.

Your face the first time
you had funnel cake.

You remember when we went
to that pirate-themed putt-putt

and you swung the club
like you were at the Masters?

I never had been
on a course that small.

I think you made a hole in one

three holes over.

It was four, but who's counting?

I like that you remember.

How could I forget?

How do you think
the kids would react

if they saw us right now?

Samantha would be thrilled.

Tyrell would front,
but he would be afraid

that it wouldn't stick.

Hmm.

Oh, hey, isn't that
Mr. and Mrs. Cortez?

Isn't he one of your VIPs?

You can go over and schmooze.
I can wait.

I'm on a date.

Yeah, but now your mind's
going to be over there.

My mind is on you.

Is that what it was like
for you all of this time?

Waiting for my attention,

waiting for the truth
while I go do my thing?

Some of the time.

Well, let me
paint the picture for you,

since that's
what they do on first dates.

I'll ask you questions

about where you see yourself
in the next ten years

and if that matches up with
what you need and want.

Go on.

I see myself
in love with my handsome,

sexy, kind, generous husband.

And we got back to sharing
our first love:

Politics.

We both share that,
climbing the Hill.

And we share another dream.

The family we built together.

Our son is a chess champion,

and our daughter,
who modeled a bit,

has decided on something else
that she loves

just as much, but way safer.

Okay.

Yeah, way to dream big.

That's the only way.

Our hair is grayer and thinner,

but we are more in love

since the day
I lent you that pen

and you wrote your number
on a card.

You still have my RSVP
anywhere you want to take me.

If we hadn't met, you would
have had a Pulitzer by now.

There's still time.

Plus, I wouldn't have
our crazy wonderful kids.

Sitting here,
I don't recognize the me

who would stand in the way
of your work.

You were making desperate
moves 'cause you were scared.

I'm still scared.

Of what?

We're doing all the things--
therapy, this date--

but what if it's not enough?

What if I still lose you?

Mr. Hamilton,

-our bed is calling.
-[phone chimes]

Whoa.

Oh. Well, sorry, babe.

As much as I'd like
to answer that call,

Caroline just pinged.
I have to meet with Gondry.

-This late?
-Yeah.

Well, our bed and I
are very disappointed.

Oh, look, I invested
too much of myself in the firm

not to keep an eye on it.

But the rest of me
belongs to you, okay?

I won't be long.

-Okay?
-Okay.

[line ringing]

Hey, Caroline.

Since my husband
can't stay away from work,

I figured you'd be
working late, too.

I was confirming the time
of tonight's meeting for him?

No meeting?

Okay. We must
have our wires crossed.

Thanks.

Oh, you don't have
to worry about my heart.

It has been
demolished like that house

across the street,
and I do not plan on rebuilding.

If you shut down your life,
that twisted woman

and that disappointment
of a man win.

You're really okay with Dani
having a loveless marriage?

There's all kind of love,
Nicole,

and I am for
a healthy relationship

that keeps Dani from having
a Bill Hamilton-shaped relapse.

Dani can't close off her heart
forever, and neither can you.

And I'm not saying that
you need a man to be happy.

But...

having the right person
beside you

just makes life so much sweeter.

I could have had
an extraordinary life

without that man
that I'm waiting up for.

But what he's given me--

the light, the love, the heat...

[Nicole laughs]

...I want that for you, too.

I don't know if I do anymore.

Oh, I don't think that's true.

I've seen the sparkle in
your eye with a certain someone.

I haven't minded
spending time with Carlton.

And he's been there all along,

not that I ever looked
at him that way.

But now...

He's handsome,
he's smart, he's kind.

Sweetie, he doesn't
have to be your forever.

Both you and your sister
married so very young.

I think you missed out
on the fun of dating.

And you had that fun?

You think your father
was the first man I dated?

Remind me to
tell you about the time

back in the day when I had

five gentlemen callers
come a-knocking.

I'm not saying
that you should settle down

with Carlton,
or run off to Vegas.

But date.

Get dressed up,
feel yourself a little.

Ugh, you sound like Dani,

although she was way more crass.

Then I guess the stars
really have aligned.

[laughs]

I don't want
to revisit that hurt.

I would have understood
what happened on that road.

It's the lies
after that broke us,

but we both know that now.

There's no way
to take those mistakes back.

I wish we lived in a world where
I could take full ownership.

I tried. I tried.
I wanted to, Smitty.

I believe you.

But there are other ways
to build back trust.

What does that look like?

You painted the picture before.

And I'm watching it
come to life.

You are being
considerate and romantic.

And nervous.

I hoped you wouldn't notice.

I appreciate it.

Because it means that you're
not taking me for granted.

What you did earlier
with Cortez,

being present with me?

That and being okay with me

being who I need to be.

That's where we went wrong.

Martin, you hid
parts of yourself,

but I gave up parts of myself.

And I'm not
going to do that anymore.

And I never would ask you
ever to do that again.

I want us the way
we should have been all along,

equals and partners.

And I won't stop trying
to win you back, Smitty.

Well, you can stop now.

Why, because you can't?

Because you already have.

Martin, I know
we still have work,

but I think we're ready.

I'm ready.

Come home, Martin.

You just aged me ten years,
watching you sip that beer.

You are still
supposed to be this tall.

With your dad holding onto
the back of your bike,

letting you go while
I helicoptered nervously

in the background.

Doug had so much faith.

Was he reckless?

You know he wasn't.

Never with his babies.

He knew he could
run fast enough to catch you

and Deanna if you fell.

But we weren't there
when he did.

Doug's accident
is not on you, kid.

I should head home, too.

Jacob, don't let
what Joey said run you off.

You-you can stay.

We'll get dinner
on the books with Naomi soon.

There's no question what
a good man and father Doug was.

I was lucky to know him.

-Well, thanks, man.
-Yeah.

What's wrong, baby?

Maybe this isn't the best idea.

What are you talking about?

How can I be tossing back
a beer when we just buried Dad?

He would want you to
raise a glass to toast his life.

And Dad would still be here
if he hadn't

raised a glass
and got into a car.

And here I am,
doing the same thing.

What if I end up just like him?

Thanks for the rush.

My wife just had to have it.

Leaving so soon?

You've got it all wrong.
Your father wasn't an alcoholic.

He was addicted to gambling.

He spun out.

The alcohol was a symptom,

not a cause.

But I didn't see
that weakness in him.

I mean, what if I don't
see it in myself?

Or in Deanna?

We both know
how fragile she is, Mom.

I mean,
what if that was something

she inherited from Dad?

She couldn't even
come to the funeral.

-Because she had the flu.
-Because of more than that.

I mean, you checked
on her a gazillion times

in our text chain
even before Dad died.

Your dad's struggles
are not some curse

passed down from
McBride to McBride.

How can you be sure?

We both know how hard it was

for Doug growing up.

He felt so lucky
to be where he was,

but he was always
testing that luck,

whether it was

challenging other surgeons
to cup stacking

or if he could make
you or your sister laugh first.

He was looking

for that rush
of affirmation, and it was...

...it-it was never enough.

Well, he had us.

And he already had money.

I mean, what was he missing
that he had to roll a die for?

Like Joey said,

he got lost.

We should have been there
to check on him.

Like he did
with me with that bike.

Hey, I will not let you think
for a second

that what happened
to your father

could happen to you or Deanna.

You are the best thing
we ever made.

And you are going to thrive

and thrive and thrive.

And that is what he would say
if he was here right now.

Today was supposed to be about
celebrating Dad's life and...

...I just turned it into
something completely different.

-Mm-mm. Mm-mm.
-I'm sorry.

I'm sorry.

You were looking for some peace.

Answers, and-and, hey, now...

...we will celebrate him.

Dad...

...we love you.

You always picked up
on the first ring...

[laughs]

...never left us hanging.

You always wanted to talk.

You were always there for me.

You were there for me when
I broke up with my first girl.

When I wanted to change my major

and just even there
just to shoot the--

You always made us laugh.

You took care of us.

You're...

everything I want to be.

A good man,

an accomplished man.

A loyal friend.

And the best dad.

To Doug.

To Dad.

Have you considered
obedience school?

He does run off
and hump anything that moves.

Bill, I know you're here!

Come face me, damn it!

[Dani laughs]

He's not here, Hayley.

Bill, come here!

Get down here right now!

Oh, wow.

She projects.

You know, I thought
I would enjoy this moment more.

Oh, no. [gasps]
Oh, yeah, there it is. Wait.

The unmitigated satisfaction
of karma

coming to call.

What excuse did he give you?

Client meeting? Golf?

The kids?

Gets awfully cold

when Bill's
spotlight on you dims.

Bill, don't you dare
make me come find you!

You know he wouldn't hide.

He'd get off
on the catfight he set up

for us from the beginning.

Don't you ever get tired
of being a pain in the butt?

Take's one to know one.

Oh, go to hell.

So, since it's not me,

you're wondering, do I know her?

Is it a client?
A lady at the club? Caroline?

That's low, even for you.

I tried to warn you.

Past is prologue,
but you thought your little act

was so special,
he wouldn't stray.

I'm the one warning you, bitch.

Ooh. She's spicy today.

You have your own husband.
Stay the hell away from mine.

[door slams]

Now, where are you,
Bill Hamilton?

Hey, check out the sliders.
I got to get home to wifey.

She likes
everything nice and hot.

[chuckles]
A comedian and a gigolo.

"Gigolo."

Okay, vintage vocab.

Well, yeah,
that pretty much sounds right.

Yeah, I'm just a guy
who makes a living off of

lonely women with deep pockets.

Oh, would you prefer
gold digger?

Nah, I've got my own money.

And Dani wasn't
some desperate rich lady.

She's the sexiest woman
in the world.

Only a damn fool would have
kicked her to the curb.

Or maybe you're the gigolo.

Of the two of us,
you were the one

who was barely surviving
when you met Dani.

-You better watch yourself.
-Mm-hmm.

You weren't even
pulling your own pants up

-when you met Dani, you little--
-Hey, hey, don't stop

because we got an audience.

-If you hurt her--
-Hurting Dani

is your deal, not mine.

I'm taking better care
of my wife than you ever did.

I'm watching you, Richardson.

Yeah, I tend
to have that effect.

Hey, Gran, you don't
have to wait up for me.

I was waiting up for Vernon,

but I'm a chapter away
from finding out

if Missy is going to
kiss or kill Gray.

Juicy.

Ah, when I finish it,
I'll let you borrow it.

Mm-hmm.

So, your mother
was here a while ago.

I owe her a call.

She's worried about you,
as am I.

It is so clear
that the love is still there

between you and Smitty.

But it's taking its sweet time.

And I know you, my boy,

like to be in control
of your own destiny.

I was worried about me, too.

But all that changed tonight.

Tell me.

Smitty asked me
to come back home.

For real this time.

[footsteps approaching]

Oh, Nicole. Hey.

I used my key.

I was out running errands,
wanted to say hi to the kids.

Yeah, I wish I would have known.
I would have saved you the trip.

They're out with some friends.

I gathered.
I left some gift cards.

Yeah, they're never
too old to get excited

about the little gifts
you leave on their pillows.

I love spoiling them.

Well, I will let you get back
to enjoying your night.

Actually,
your timing is kind of perfect.

Oh?

I just asked Martin
if he would move back in.

Yeah, that's where I was.

I thought you'd be happy for us.

I am prepared to be ecstatic.

But I do need
to ask you something first.

Yeah, anything.

Are you absolutely sure
you're ready

to give this marriage a chance?

I'm glad that Joey
was with you today.

But now that I'm here,

you don't have to look
to outsiders for support.

That's what Dad would want, too.

Your instinct
is a beautiful one.

You just want to step up
and take up

the mantle of
the man of the family.

But I want you to be a kid
a little longer.

I'm not a kid.

I'm stronger
than you think, and...

Joey's not an outsider.

Well, but I just met him.

Yeah, he's my business partner.

He-He's more than that.

Joey's come to...

take up a place in my life
that I didn't expect.

-Mom?
-He's a friend

who I rely on and trust.

I need my friends right now.

I need you to be okay with that.

Of course.

Why wouldn't I be?

I know how it must look
from the outside,

with the revolving door
that Martin's been through,

in and out of this house.

I hate that we're
in the same club,

being lied to by the people
that we love the most.

But Martin is not Ted.

Forgiveness was not for me.

But is it for you?

Because I don't think
Martin is equipped

for the back-and-forth.

You sharing with me,
it did make me feel less alone.

But I think that Martin and I
have reached a tipping point

back to each other.

What clicked?

That door.

When Martin shut it behind him,

this house
never felt more empty.

I never felt more empty.

It was like...

it's like he took
a piece of me with him.

Missing him is not
forgiving him, Smitty.

It's a process.

But I've seen
Martin making changes.

He acknowledges what went wrong.

And he's willing
to reset the ground between us,

with us as equals.

No more secrets, just...

...just love.

And that is where we start.

Oh, Smitty, you just made

your mother-in-law so happy.

I knew it was
just a matter of time.

But Granddad and I
are going to miss

having you under our roof,
though.

We're not going to
give up on our movie nights.

I'm just going to bring Smitty
and the kids, if you'll have us.

Plus, I need to see how
that new snow thriller ends.

I'm going to hold you to that.

How are the kids
taking the news?

We're waiting to tell them
together tomorrow afternoon.

We didn't want
to surprise them tonight.

That's a good plan.

This has been such
a roller coaster for them.

I hope that ride ends here.

I'm going to go up and pack.

Hey, baby.

The client is taken care of,

and now it's your turn.
Come here.

Get off, Bill.

What's wrong with you?

When I left,
you were raring to go.

The mood has passed
and I'm going to bed.

Could you imagine
if my Vogueor Essenceeditors

could see me now?

Barbecue sauce practically
dripped on my couture.

They'd do a whole spread
trying to make us believe

that supermodels,
they're just like us.

But I know for a fact
that you are a goddess.

Two seconds flat,
you turn my mood right side up.

What'd I miss?

Hayley stopped by.

Apparently,
she misplaced her husband.

I could have saved her a trip.

You got a tail on my ex?

Yeah, he was with me.
