I think that Martin and I

have reached a tipping point

back to each other.

Come home, Martin.

I'm going to go up and pack.

We have to hold on
to what we want.

Kat's who I want.

Hayley stopped by.

Bill, come here!

She misplaced her husband.

Yeah, he was with me.

BILL:
You better watch yourself.

Hey, hey, don't stop
because we got an audience.

Dani is their mother,
and like it or not,

she's always going to be
a part of my life.

-What the hell is
that supposed to mean?
-Figure it out.

We can wipe the slate clean,
try again.

I would love to have
your friendship back.

[laughs]

I can't help but think
you deserve better.

I want you
to take a big step back

and think about
the future you really want.

If it's bigger
than what I can give,

I accept that.

I won't hold it against you,
I swear.

-Look, I will...
-B-Baby.

I'm trying to give you an out.

Where's all this coming from?

You're the most
confident woman I know.

I tell you you're beautiful,
and you smile and say thanks.

No pause, no question.

Well, I mean...

But when I say that
I love being married to you,

you doubt it,

revisit it,
expecting a different answer.

I want to be sure.

I'm sure.

There are things
I can't give you.

-I have everything I need.
-Children.

You don't know.

You might wake up one day
a few years from now and, boom,

you're hit with a fever.

All you want
is a baby who can carry on

that impressive name
you're making for yourself.

And you look over
at your delectable wife,

your partner in crime...

Yeah.

...and her time
for babies is over.

What do you do?

I don't know.

You make a choice.

We make choices together, Dani.

This one you make on your own.

And whatever you decide...

...we'll always have Vegas.

NAOMI:
Mom?

DANI:
Would it kill you to knock?

I am a married woman, for now.

I realize that.

Hey, Andre.

Hiya, Princess.

Just trying out nicknames
for my stepkids.

Okay, how do we do this?

Do I have to schedule
mother-daughter time,

or can we kick him out?

Hey, you don't have
to tell me twice.

I got it.

I'm gone.
I'll... I'll call you later.

Excuse me.

DANI:
All right.

You got me all to yourself.

Tell Mommy everything.

You know what I love
about physical therapy?

-Nothing?
-This part.

I get to tag along
with you to work.

Are we becoming one of those
disgustingly adorable couples--

so inseparable,
we're insufferable?

He takes her to work,
they have lunch together.

Ooh, cafeteria today?

They're doing the chicken
casserole thing again.

-Ooh, it's a date.
-Yes.

See? Too cute.

Perfectly cute.

Speaking of dates,
we really need

to lock down venues.

-There is so much to plan.
-Yeah.

Oh, music to my ears.
Love wedding bells.

But make no mistake,
I expect your usual dedication.

No running off for fittings.

I need a favor.

Oh, here you go.

No, Derek and I have been
discussing how supportive

you've been to both of us
since his accident.

Oh, you noticed?

And I was wondering,

would you be
one of my bridesmaids?

-Girl, yes.
-[laughs]

This is the second-best
decision of your life.

Leave it to me, you'll want
to get married every day.

ASHLEY:
Well, no rush.

We have a few months to go.

Many, many months.

Months? That's all?

We'll start today.

And, yes, I would love to be

in your wedding party.

[both laugh]

This is gonna be great.

I mean, who else knows

exactly what you two
have been through?

♪ ♪

I thought
you might like a fresh cup.

Took you long enough.

I am so sorry about that.
My shift just started.

To tell you the truth,
I'm still getting used

to this waitressing thing.

Clearly.

That four-top needs bussing.

You a waitress?

Well, once upon a time.

Fairy tale ending, too.
Rags to riches.

I'm the daughter
of music royalty.

You don't say?

Mm.

That's my mama's group.

There never would have been

an Articulettes dynasty
without her.

So coming here feels like home.

Well, that's until
they finish crafting

my new home in the sweetest
spot in Fairmont Crest.

Orphey Gene's is an oasis.

People relax, chill.

You might be more comfy
at a place that caters

to high-maintenance types.

You know,
impatient, making demands.

It's okay, though. I see you.

Mm-hmm.

Oh.

There's my favorite customer,

but I'll keep an eye
on you, though.

-TED: Hey.
-Hey.

Best table in the house.

Good to see you.

Highlight of my day.

All right, now let me tell you
what we have cooking up.

I really think
you're going to like it.

TED:
Hmm.

-How are you?
-[sighs]

It's been a long time since

Doug and I actually enjoyed
being married to each other,

so there's some guilt
mixed with the grief.

That's to be expected.

Do you want
to talk about it as friends?

No judgment?

Never.

There is a situation.

-With?
-Donnell.

I want him
to go back to Banneker.

He wants to stay here
and be the man around the house.

To fill Doug's shoes.

And there's nothing to fill.

Before he quit,
Doug was a busy surgeon.

He didn't handle
home maintenance.

When things needed fixing,

I made a call.

I love my son, but...

it would be a huge help
if my best friend,

who's a wizard
at persuading people

to look at their lives
in a different way,

could convince him
to go back to school.

He does have a bright future.

Which he shouldn't throw away
just to stay here

and hold my hand.

Are you afraid that he'll see
you holding Joey's hand instead?

Donnell.

What brings you by?

I wanted to thank you
for supporting me and my mom.

No thanks necessary.

Your mother and I are
good friends.

You're friends.

And where would we be without
them at times like these?

Well, she has a family.

I'm here. For good.

I'll be handling things
from now on.

[laughs]

Now, save room for dessert

-'cause Jocelyn's cooking.
-Mm.

Always something good
cooking at Orphey Gene's.

And now that I know they have
the kindest listener in town,

call me one of yourregulars.

Aw, that's the nicest thing
I've heard all month.

Mm. Listen, last time I came in,

I, uh, wasn't my best.

I'm sorry for unloading
on you like that.

I was happy to help.

If I helped.

More than you know.

-It was a pleasure.
-Hmm.

Place like this, with good food

and a familiar face
smiling at you

when you come in, is a rarity.

I know that's right.

You just sit back and let June
take care of you for a while.

-All right.
-All right. [chuckles]

Where's Kat?

Well, it's your teenage brain
that I want to pick.

It's a gold mine, and
I want to dig a little deeper.

Why would you want to go
digging around in my skull?

That sounds like something
Grandma Nicole would do.

Tyrell didn't tell you
about your age demographic?

He tells me nothing.

So, what's up?

He cracked the algorithm.

Turns out,
moms are buying ChelseaKat bags

for their daughters
and themselves.

We love the energy, but
we've actually had to restock

to keep up
with the holiday rush.

Oh, my God, that's incredible.

We're an unqualified hit,

and it's all thanks
to my favorite baby cousin.

All I did was smile
and take instruction

from the smartest model I know.

You know, I'm so happy that
ChelseaKat is a family thing.

All us cousins taking on
the fashion world again.

I like having
a big family like this.

And finding your mom--
what's that been like?

The best.

NAOMI:
What did I interrupt?

Well, Andre is just taking
some time to figure out

what he wants
to do about the marriage.

Oh. Well, what brought that on?

Thanks to the constant bullying,

I decided to give Andre a
"get out of wedlock free" card.

Wait, you're inviting him
to divorce you?

I like Andre.

I want him to do
whatever makes him happy.

If that's me, wonderful.

I know we're in
different places in life

and his mind could change.

If we ignore
those differences now,

it could come back later
to bite us.

Funny you mention that.

A dilemma that I thought
we put to rest

is back in play.

-Babies.
-Yikes.

How'd that come up?

Do I detect a glow?

Are you with child, child?

Alix, I can see the head.
Just a couple pushes away,

and you're holding your baby,
okay? Are you ready?

I don't know. Am I?

Definitely.

Now, on this next contraction,
I need you to dig deep

and give me everything you got.

All right? Here we go.
One, two...

[straining]

Alix?

ALIX:
How great is this? You're here.

-Hi.
-Oh, it's so good to see you.

You look incredible.

Let me see my namesake.
Let me see.

Here she is.

ASHLEY:
I'd recognize her anywhere.

Hi, there, Ashley Andrea.

-How's she doing?
-99th percentile for height,

on track for weight.

Hitting all her milestones
before her time.

That's my girl.

You're doing a great job.

And do not be shy
about asking for help.

You hear that, kid?
That's a lifetime guarantee.

You need us,
we're here for anything.

-Oh, she's so beautiful.
-[elevator bell dings]

-I can't get over it.
-I know.

[Alix stammers]

Is that who I think it is?

Andre? Oh, give me a hug.

It's so good to see you.

It's good to see you.
How are you?

-I'm good.
-And how is baby Ashley Andrea

not on the cover
of every magazine?

-I know.
-No idea.

We know the best photographer,

don't we?

We're all together again.

This must be fate.

SHANICE:
I always tell my patients,

you want to have a healthy body,
keep it strong.

And that strength flows
into other areas of your life,

like your relationship.

-What are you talking about?
-[chuckles] The way

you and Ashley were beaming over
the wedding and making plans.

-Crazy, right?
-Yeah.

-So what'd she say?
-[grunts]

When you told her
you were regaining sensation

-in your legs.
You told your fiancée...
-[grunts]

That was the plan.

But at our last session...

I planned
to tell her right away,

but then, like,
two seconds later,

I saw her and Andre
thick as thieves.

She's caring. She's a nurse.

[stammers] She told Andre
that she hopes his marriage

with Dani works out so it'd
make things easier on her.

And?

It doesn't sound
like she's over the guy.

That's your takeaway?

Because on my planet,
her telling Andre

she wants him to live happily
ever after with another woman

sounds extremely over.

Why would it be hard on her
if Andre's single?

No woman wants another man
causing unnecessary trouble

when she's engaged,
about to get married.

Okay, you really need
to get out more

and learn a thing or two
about women

-before you actually marry one.
-Yeah.

On-the-job training.
I'll pick it up. [grunts]

Used to come natural to you,
Smoke Eater.

-[chuckles]
-But being a husband

is no different
than being a firefighter.

Put out fires.

Better yet, stop them
before they even start.

And protect those
who cannot protect themselves.

I get that.

Then why are you playing
with fire?

[grunts]

I need time.

And Ash could use
some time away from that guy.

And can someone explain to me

why he's always
hanging out here?

I mean, he's always in her face,

-always got something
to say. I...
-Derek.

You moved your leg.

[exhales]

Joey's my business partner.

And?

Friend.

Like the many friends
you've had over the years?

Joey's different.

Yes, he is.

He is dangerous, Vanessa.

You don't know him.

-I've heard things.
-Those things

may not be true.
[sighs]

And whatever you've gleaned
from this friendship is fact

because he says so?

He's been very supportive
since Doug died.

Sizing you up and checking
for vulnerabilities

before he goes in for the kill.

My question is,
why are you allowing this?

He's a charming
and considerate man.

Consider this--

you're beating yourself up

because you didn't have closure
with Doug.

Why am I being analyzed
by my best friend?

I get why you are reaching for
something or someone right now,

but you need to hear me.

This man isn't it.

-Hmm.
-And, deep down,

I think you know that.

I just...

I don't want you to regret this

when you start feeling
like yourself again.

Donnell and Deanna

-really need you right now.
-Donnell already knows.

I told him about Joey and me.

I like you, Donnell.

We have a lot in common.

Ha. Well, up to a point anyway.

Now, I wasn't raised
behind any gates.

No, my life
was more like a cage,

one that I had to escape,

for my mother and myself.

No, my father wasn't
the bright and shining example

that yours was.

I definitely got
the short end of that stick.

If I had the education
that you're having--

college,
a year to study in Paris--

who knows
what I could have been?

But...

life had other plans.

Somebody had to step up.

Because nothing was more
important than helping your mom.

It's a son's duty.

It's time for me to step up.

[chuckles]

Your father would be proud.

Hell, I'm proud of you,
and you're not even mine.

Let's discuss.

Uh, I'm not sure what you mean.

Well, this is
a big life decision.

I mean, you can't just leap
without looking.

And you can't bring it
to your mother

because she's got enough
on her plate.

So, let's discuss.

All right.

Shoot.

All right.
What happens if, uh...

your mother needs
to take a break from her career?

Who pays the bills?

-Well, I will.
-How?

-I'll get a job.
-[chuckles]

It always seems simple
to pay the bills

until you have
to pay for groceries

and the rent
and for health insurance.

And you're gonna be doing it
on an entry-level paycheck.

And every employer's
gonna know that.

No, without, without the degree,

without a trade,

your options
are gonna be limited.

Well, I'll figure it out.

You did.

What if I had the answer
to all your prayers?

The last time we talked,

you said you were going through
something with your wife?

Oh, her days as my wife
are numbered.

And she couldn't be happier.
[chuckles softly]

-I'm sorry to hear that.
-Mm-hmm.

But don't they say something

about getting a new lease
on life after a divorce?

As long as my granddaughter

still smiles at me
when she sees me,

I know I'm doing
something right.

[laughs]

Barely old enough
to be a father,

let alone grandfather.

Oh, stop.

You're a treasure trove.

Can you excuse me for a minute?

-Of course.
-All right.

Hello, ladies.

-How's my granddaughter?
-Hey. I'm good.

[clears throat]

You didn't give me
what I asked for.

Uh, what was that again?

One heaping helping
of you backing up

off my man, Miss Thing.

You're the wife?

Once a messy waitress
remembers her place.

And where would that be?

Out of my way.

Things don't go well

for people who stand
between me and what I want.

The things I've seen
and survived

would knock the curls out
of your head.

All kind of crazy things
in this town.

You don't scare me.

Make a move on my man
and you'll find out

I'm scarier than anything
you've survived so far.

I love the last reel you posted,
the one where you took

the ChelseaKat purse on a tour

of all the Black artists
in the Smithsonian.

You actually watched that?

I watch 'em all.

I got to stay current if
I'm to continue reigning supreme

at all the grandfather club
meetings.

What did you think?

You kidding me? She's a star.

Always knew that, though.
Runs in the family.

So catch me up. What did I miss?

Um, I guess you heard
Pop moved out again.

Oh. I'm...

sorry to hear that.

But are you okay?
You and Tyrell?

It's not like Pop's gone.

We still see him,
and he texts, like, mad crazy.

Ah.

But you must miss him, I know.

You're getting to know
your mom again,

which is a bonus.

She is?

So are you.

Uh, that's news to me.

How would I know your mom?

She's your waitress.

Wait. Uh,
June is your mother? No.

[laughing]:
I know.

That is not the woman
that was described to me.

It's amazing.

Right?

Well, she's busy, um,
and I got to get back to work.

Would you welcome her
to the family for me?

-Yeah, I will.
-Uh, well,

-next time, ladies.
-All right.

All right.

-[inhales] Mmm.
-Excuse me and goodbye.

That's what you should tell
that street urchin.

See you when I get home,
honey lamb.

[Derek chuckles]

How's that? Any discomfort?

Let me try.

Let me do it alone.

Are you sure?

[Derek grunts]

[panting]:
I did it.

-[chuckles]
-I'm calling Dr. Montgomery.

Am I gonna walk again?
[stammers]

You can tell me. I can take it.

-I'm no neurologist, but...
-This is gonna happen.

Ash is gonna walk
down that aisle.

And when she gets
to the front of the church,

-I'm gonna stand up
out of that...
-This is not my first rodeo,

but this is your first time
being groom,

so let me make this easy
for you.

The last thing any bride wants
on her wedding day is surprises.

This is a good surprise.

There's no such thing,
Derek, at a wedding.

She's been dreaming of this day
since she was a kid.

Don't mess with that.

-[sighs]
-Save the reveal
for another day.

Let it have its own space.

Mm.

I don't know.

Trust me,

I know what I'm talking about.

She'll cry no matter
when you give her the good news.

Do it now.

There's nothing
holding you back.

ANDRE:
Oh, she's gonna love that one.

Make sure you text it to me.
I'll put it in a frame

next to her first professional
baby photo,

taken moments after her birth.

-[laughs]
-[chuckles]
I bet she hates elevators now.

You'd think, right?

-[chuckles]
-She loves 'em.

-The longer the better.
-Oh.

Everywhere we go,
she wants the elevator.

[chuckles]
Every time I hit a button,

-I think about that day.
-ASHLEY: Mm.

-My first week as a nurse.
-Yeah.

No. And ours was
your first baby delivery?

Yeah, there was never really
a good time to tell you that.

Thanks for keeping my secret.

ALIX:
Mm. Got a real friend there.
[chuckles]

Oh! We're having
a first Halloween party

-for Ashley Andrea.
-ANDRE: Okay.

And what's she dressing as?

A nurse-tographer.

-Say what now?
-[chuckling]

Part nurse. Cute little scrubs.

Part photographer,
with the tiniest toy camera

in the world.
[giggles]

-Oh. That sounds
like the cutest.
-Yeah.

Well, you'll have
to send us pictures.

Oh, no, you'll both be there.

You're officially invited.

My husband would love
to get the story

of the day she was born on tape

from the people
who were right there,

helping me bring our baby
into the world.

-[Ashley chuckles]
-What do you say?

Will you be the ghosts of honor
at our shindig?

-[chuckles softly]
-[Alix giggles]

This glow is brought to you
by incredible makeup.

Radiant, not pregnant?

Jacob has notions.

I don't know. Maybe it's seeing
June reunite with her kids.

He wants you to revisit

your "double income,
no kids" position?

Yep.

All right. Devil's advocate.

You like kids.

Why not?

[scoffs]

Well, as adorable as I was
as a newborn,

I ruined your life.

You ruined my life? How?

Well, Chelsea and I were little,

but we were going
through all these old boxes

and we found... everything.

Portfolios and magazine covers,

pictures of you
all over the world

in the most glamorous clothes,

hanging out
with all the cool kids.

I mean, we knew you were
different from the other moms,

but that was the first time...

First time you found receipts?

[chuckles softly]
All the evidence

pointing to Dani Dupree being
the toast of two continents.

Three.

Then came the man
who shut it all down and...

then came the kids
and you were stuck at home,

taking care of us when you used
to be taking on the world.

I moved on from modeling
to help Bill with his practice.

But your career was
just as important and impactful.

Do you ever wonder
why there were so many kids

just a bit younger than you
in the neighborhood?

Because, my dear,

-I made motherhood look good.
-[chuckles]

-Oh, please.
-First influencer

right here.

After you,

a storm of newborns
landed in Fairmont Crest.

Nine months to the day
of your first appearance.

No child was more cherished
or adored than you.

I wanted you.

I could never.

Never say never.

You could change your mind.

I have what I want,

and I want what I have.

Living the dream.

Picture this--

you're secure in your career.

You have a husband
who is an eager

and equal partner in parenthood.

You're feathering your nest.

Your body and life
are changing in ways

that no one
could prepare you for.

How do you feel?

[scoffs]
Oh, my God.

[crying]

-Who could say no to a party?
-Yeah.

-Especially for this baby.
-Mm.

Looks like you got
your photographer.

ALIX:
That would be so sweet of you.

Hey.

What's all the commotion
over here?

-[chuckles]
-Somebody start a fire?

-[Andre chuckles]
-Derek the fireman!

Sporting new equipment.

Got good news.
Ash didn't tell you?

We got engaged.

Show her.

Oh.
[chuckles]

Wow! That's... great.

Best wishes and congratulations.

-Thanks.
-You guys weren't talking
about our wedding?

Halloween party.
You're welcome to come, too.

Except our place has stairs.

We'll make it work.

[chuckles softly]
Well, you heard the man.

-We can't wait.
-ANDRE: Hey,

-I'm looking forward.
-So you...

better add three
to your guest list.

Four.

Dani, right?

I'm not sure I heard you right.

I'm offering you a job.

Actual employment?

A dealer position's come open.

[scoffs]

I-I can barely shuffle a deck
for Uno.

[laughs]

A bright kid like you,

I'm sure
you'll pick it up in no time.

And the pay's good.

The hours are what they are.

But you'd be helping out
your mother.

But I wouldn't be the man
my father wanted me to be.

You know? It wouldn't be right.

M-Making a living
in the same place

he spent
his last night on Earth.

Ha. Hadn't looked at it
from that angle.

I apologize
if my offer was insensitive.

No, no sweat.

But it makes me wonder, uh--
and I'm asking you this

because I think your heart's
in the right place...

does it ever bother you?

-Does what?
-I mean,

knowing this place is a hub

for all the things that make
people ruin their lives--

the gambling,

alcohol,

women,

and whatever else goes on
behind the scenes.

That's a lot of money
being made after dark.

Well, this is
an adults-only establishment.

You don't have to defend it.

It's where you earn your living.

But this place cost
my family everything.

So...

while I'm sure
your intentions with my mom

-are above...
-I get it.

"Back off."

I've got it from here.

Donnell's seen me with Joey.

He's aware we're friends.

Is he aware of your loose
definition of the word?

Joey's been kind to Donnell.

The fact that you would expose
your son to that man.

[sighs] And so soon
after his father's death.

Now you're accusing me
of being a bad mother?

We are just talking, Vanessa.

I am your friend,
and that is not gonna change.

Then you'll have
to make room for Joey.

We're a package deal now,

whether Dr. Nicole
approves or not.

You're being serious.

[phone chimes]

-Let me guess.
-I need to go.

-We need to talk.
-Dr. Dupree,

when you find my friend Nicole,

tell her to call me.

-Stay.
-Mm.

Vanessa.

Chelsea, this is June,
my... my mom.

And, June, this is...

I'd know that face anywhere.

Can I share a secret?

Of course.

I've had some lively discussions

about whether you were real
or A.I.

-[chuckling]
-Because how can somebody be

this pretty and true
at the same time?

[chuckles]
Real and alive.

And I love
how you two found each other.

-We're still finding our way.
-Mm-hmm.

We have a lifetime
to learn each other.

It'll take forever
to figure out your family tree.

-Welcome to the club.
-Now,

somebody said something about
Ted being your grandfather?

That Ted?

Yeah. He's my pop's dad.

CHELSEA:
My mother's

sister's ex.

Ooh, I will never keep it
straight.

It's so many important people.

Ted's a famous surgeon
talking to a nobody.

Well, hold on.

You're important, June.

Yeah.

Moms are
the most important people.

You're mine.

[chuckles softly]

Oh.
[chuckles softly]

Knew I'd be running into you.

Being in each other's orbits,
it's only natural

that we collide
every now and then.

The universe is a large place.

You should explore it.

[chuckles softly]
Well, eventually,

I'll have a home
on every continent.

But for now

you've heard
that I have a new residence,

and, uh,
it's under construction,

across from your mommy
and daddy.

Your point?

Proximity.

While my home
is under construction,

I'm living with Teddy.

Now, there is no way
that's true.

You may have managed
to worm your way into

a one-night stand with him,

but Ted despises you.

You are spreading your lies as
easily as you spread your leg...

Dr. Dainty.

I speak the truth.

We are living
under the same roof.

The roof of the Bowman Hotel?

That is hardly cohabitating.

Excuse me.

[chuckles]
It's only a matter of time

before we are back
in those sheets

kicking boots, baby.

If Ted is weak enough to
allow you to seduce him again...

[laughs]

Thank you, Leslie.

I needed that laugh.

Our darling daughters--

they want to play
with the same toy, Little Nicky.

So whatever shall we do?

I'll take that as
a "no, thank you" on children.

Not every woman
was made to be a mother.

Don't get me started.

The stories I could tell.

I'm living the life
that I dreamed,

and a baby won't complete me.

I am a fully actualized
human being

doing just fine without a kid.

And I couldn't be prouder.

-This isn't a phase.
-I never said it was.

And, look, I admire
the women who can do it all,

but that is not me
and I never wanted that.

And that is fine.

Babies are for people
who love them

and want them and-and can care
for them forever.

And they need so much.

I want to use that time
and attention on my work

because I'm good at it
and I've earned my spot,

helping people find justice.

-That's important.
-[sniffles]

And I don't have the room
for changing diapers

and parent-teacher meetings.

Like, I'm good.

Exceptional.

I built this life,

and there's only room for two.

And I'm happy with what I have.

You don't seem happy right now.

Because I should be able
to lead the life that I want

without people thinking
that I'm some monster.

Especially you, Mom.

Hey.

Hey, I didn't see you there.

Hmm. I recall a time

you couldn't take your eyes
off me.

Yesterday.

I've been, uh...

thinking about us.

Not for nothing,

I may have ended a friendship
defending us.

Was it
a long-standing friendship?

Patch it up.

This has to end.

Your little Kitty Kat
keeps trying to steal Eva's man.

Tomas is Kat's boyfriend.

Mm. He may have something
to say about that,

seeing as he ran straight
to Eva's

and gave a song and a dance

about how he and Kat have used
up all of their nine lives.

Unless you were there...

Mm. Next best thing--

eyewitness account

that what Tomas
and my daughter shared

was magical.

Mmm. Magnificent.

Lord.

I'd like to give you
a helpful hint,

mother to mother.

Oh, you're like no mother
I've ever met.

If Kat keeps sharpening
her claws on my Eva...

...then I'm gonna have
to give her some home training

that clearly you never did.

Are you threatening my family?

Oh, baby, I was a threat the
minute I crossed the state line.

What I'm doing now
is promising you

that there will be trouble

if you don't get a short leash
on your little Kat.

To avoid potential ugliness,
of course.

You are so intent on inserting
yourself into my life.

Your potential ugliness
is a daily expectation.

But know this--
you come for my family,

whatever you throw,

it will come back sharpened

and it knows
exactly where to land.

Aw. Look at us.

Two mothers who are standing up

-for their daughters.
-[scoffs]

Don't try that with me.

We both know any move you make
is all about you.

ALIX:
You're married?

-Since when?
-[stammers] Yeah.

About a minute now, actually.

Oh. Well,
you know what that means.

Ashley Andrea,
you're a miracle maker.

-[chuckling]
-Say what now?

It hasn't even been a year yet
since she was born,

and you've walked down the aisle

-and you're about to.
-ASHLEY: Well...

Everything's working out
the way it's supposed to.

-[elevator bell dings]
-[chuckles]

Uh, there's my uncle.
I got to run.

Hey. Good seeing you.

-[laughs]
-Take care.
-ALIX: All right.

See you at the party.
[giggles]

What's going on over there?

You see what I see?

What would you like
for me to see?

Two people in love...

[sighs]
building a future together.

But what I see is
this force of nature...

who helped a stranger
deliver a baby

under ridiculous circumstances.

That baby is a reminder

that Ashley and I
still have a connection that...

we never fully explored.

Wanting a child-free life

does not make you a monster.

You're not disappointed?

I have never been disappointed
in you.

Because you never ignore
Little Naomi's point of view.

That voice

that always pushes you
to be the best you there is,

that voice that points you
to your truth,

she got you here

and she has never led you
astray.

But what about Jacob?

He will try to wear me down
on this, Mom.

He knew when you married.

[sighs]
I never wanted children.

End of story.

-[phone buzzing]
-[sniffles]

Who is that from?

My husband.

It's decision day
in my relationship, too.

Well, what is the little Dani
in your head telling you to do?

Same thing she always says.

"Hold on tight."
