[laughs]
Jackie, that is outrageous.

No, stop. No more.

All right, listen,
I have to go now.

I'll see you soon, Jackie.

[laughing]:
Okay. Bye-bye.

Don't tell me
you were on the phone

with that Anita Williams
impersonator again.

Listen, Jackie Tyree is
a wonderful conversationalist,

intelligent and witty.

Turns out, we have more
in common than I thought.

You know, they say, uh,
talking to yourself

is the first sign of insanity.

Well, not when you're the most
entertaining person around.

What was this about
"see you soon," huh?

You didn't accept those free
tickets to her show, did you?

-Oh, of course not.
-Well, that's a relief.

But I did invite her
to Thanksgiving dinner.

Come again?

I'll tell you
about it over dinner.

But I have a lot
to catch you up on.

-There's more?
-Much.

For starters...
I have good news about Martin.

[door closes]

Um, what's going on?

Dad and Pop have something
important to tell us.

Wait, no.

You guys can't get divorced.
Not yet.

What? No, that's
not what this is...

We are not getting a divorce.

In fact, it's the opposite.

Your pop is moving back home.

That is,
if it's okay with you guys.

Yes, of course
we're okay with it.

Are you two sure about this?

I understand
congrats are in order.

Heard about
you and Dani getting married.

Tell me where you're registered,

and Bill and I
will get you a fruit bowl.

It was
a spur-of-the-moment thing.

Aw, how romantic.

I trust
no one pulled a gun on you

the way Dani did me and Bill
on our wedding day?

No. Well, maybe that's because

neither one of us
had to break up

any other marriages
to get there.

Mm.

Well, here's to hoping
you two stay together

and keep your grubby little paws

off other people's
happily ever after.

What is your problem, lady?

That your wife

can't seem to stay away
from my husband.

DANI:
The man in his element.

Dani. Hey.

Yeah, yeah, I'm just working
on my appeals papers

for the Leslie Thomas case.

Can you believe that judge
is gonna let her

tear down the Jarvis house?

Well, the decision
is full of errors,

so I have no doubt
that we'll win on appeal.

You think that's gonna
make her cease and desist

the endless construction noise?
It's driving everyone berserk.

Especially my parents, who live
directly across the street.

Believe me, Anita has made
her dissatisfaction very clear.

You really think
you can put a stop

to Leslie's latest insanity?

You doubt my legal abilities?

-Wouldn't dare.
-[chuckles] Good.

[laughs]

But something tells me
you didn't come all the way

over here to discuss
the Thomas case?

Guilty as charged.
I have something for you.

Yeah? Oh, well, well,
don't shoot.

Ha ha.

I'm not here to end your life.

I'm here to celebrate
the day it began.

Happy birthday, Bill.

That's a very nice gesture,
but today's not my birthday.

I am very well aware
that it's tomorrow,

but that is only
a few hours away,

and you remember how I always
like to be the first.

All too well,
but this isn't a competition.

Oh, Bill,
everything's a competition,

at least where we're concerned.

And besides, I'm sure Hayley
has some big plans for you two

on the actual day.

I wouldn't want to intrude.

I don't think Hayley has any big
plans to celebrate my birthday.

Of course she does.

She wouldn't miss
the opportunity to dote on you

and make a big splash,
preferably at the country club

in front
of Fairmont Crest's finest.

Unless...

Hayley is upset at you.

You two had a fight, didn't you?

Is that why you were
so grouchy this morning?

-I never said that.
-I knew it.

I hate that you can still
read me on occasion.

Ugh. Nothing will ever erase how
well I know you, Bill Hamilton.

I'm so sorry
there's trouble in paradise.

So tell me,
what was the fight about?

You.

You must not be keeping
Dani satisfied.

You need to work on that, Andre.

Happy women don't obsess
over their ex-husbands.

You're the one
who was obsessed, Hayley.

Dani told me
how you came storming

into her place the other night,
looking for Bill,

but, surprise, surprise,
he wasn't there.

Oh, the fact
he wasn't there that one time

doesn't mean the two of them
haven't been spending

entirely too much time together.

Sometimes, yes, sure.

-They share two daughters.
-Oh, they share two daughters.

I know.

So, they both use
that same excuse. Interesting.

Andre, their daughters
are grown-ass women.

It's not like
they have to talk regularly

about figuring out
school pickup times.

Okay, sure. Yes.

Maybe Dani and Bill
do spend too much time together.

More than strictly necessary.

She told me she recently
went to see him at his office.

Oh, there you go.

She's trying to steal him back.

No. Again, no.

So why did she
go there then, huh?

She went to go set
the record straight

about the way things are now,

to tell Bill that
she is finally finished

with whatever hold he had on her
and she's happy with me.

And you actually believe her?

Well, I thought
you were supposed to be

some big-time ladies' man,

-Mr. International Player.
-Yeah.

Instead, you're King Gullible
as far as Dani is concerned.

Of course they're sure.

Pop moving back home
is the right thing to do.

I think Tyrell's question
is justified.

-This situation has been
confusing for all of us.
-Mm-hmm.

Your pop and I
talked it out yesterday,

and we are both committed
to making this work.

But your feelings matter,
so talk to us.

And if, for any reason,
you two aren't ready

-for me to move in...
-Mm-hmm.

...I understand.

It's fine by me,

as long as Pop stays
for good this time.

I am not letting him
go away again.

Great. Welcome home, Pop.

Thanks, son.

It took you two long enough
to listen to me.

You're welcome.

Thank you, Samantha.

You are wise beyond your years.

And keep it 100.

Well, anyways,
I will give you two a minute.

That went well.

Yeah, well,

we should've known that our kids
would take it in stride.

We raised
a couple of great kids.

Agreed.

But this does not mean

that we need to dump
adult problems on them.

Are you talking
about keeping secrets now?

I just don't want the fact
that we're happy

to cause us to blindly walk
into a situation

that puts us at risk.

Now that we are a united front,
we need to be on the same page

when it comes to protecting
Samantha and Tyrell.

From...?

For one, I don't think

that they should know
that Kenny's death was,

in essence,
ordered by Joey Armstrong.

The less they know
about that bastard, the better.

The fact that you owe
that bastard a favor

is the real problem.

I can't help but wonder
how it's gonna affect our family

when Joey decides
it's time to collect.

You're quiet.

Didn't expect my decision
to end our conversation.

I want to make sure I heard
and understood you correctly.

My life is in shambles.

I just buried my husband, who
died in a tragic car accident.

And now,
the one person I count on,

the one person I need the most,
chooses this moment

to tell me he thinks we should
stop seeing each other?

-I'm sorry.
-You can stuff
your sorries in a sack, Joey.

What I want to know is why.

Why do you want nothing
to do with me all of a sudden?

That's not what I said at all.

We have a very profitable
business arrangement.

I definitely
want that to continue.

It's the personal stuff
I think should stop.

Oh, so you don't mind
my laundering your money,

but as far as getting your
sheets dirty in the first place,

you want out?

Well, I'm not sure I would
put it so colorfully.

Put a lid
on the sardonic sarcasm, Joey.

It's really starting
to piss me off.

Where is this coming from
all of a sudden?

I thought things were
going well with us.

I... I just defended you
to Nicole,

and you choose now to pull
the rug out from under me?

Why?

-Is it something I did?
-No.

Oh, so the thrill
is just gone for you

now that you're no longer
screwing another man's wife?

This isn't because
of what happened to Doug.

But his death is the only thing
that's changed.

[laughing]:
Oh, my God.

That's-that's all
this ever was for you.

Just a little thrill pulling
the wool over my husband's eyes.

No. My wanting to end
our personal relationship

has nothing to do with Doug.

This is about your son.

It is because of Joey Armstrong

that we were able
to find Chelsea

when she was held hostage
from that lunatic.

And I don't regret that.

I would've dealt
with the devil himself

-to save my cousin.
-Of course.

And I'm not blaming you
for that.

I'm just saying that being
in debt to Joey Armstrong

is a dangerous position
to be in.

It's always possible
he won't choose to collect.

I think Joey likes having
leverage over people

even more than using it.

After all,
he didn't come after us

after helping us cover up
that horrible night.

And if he does?

Then we will handle it.

I really do hope you mean we.

I promise to tell you
everything immediately.

I swear. No more secrets.

I've learned from my mistakes.

I am glad to hear it.

And I'm very glad
to have you home.

So am I.

I am delighted to hear
that Martin and Smitty

have worked things out
and-and Martin's moved back in.

So am I.

But I don't mind telling you,
I was starting to really worry.

Oh, not me. No.

I always had faith
that they would get over

their differences
and realize that

they're much better
together than apart.

Really?

Now, weren't you
the one worrying

about never having the house
to ourselves ever again?

It's only because,

as much as I love
having our grandson here, I...

I like it better when
it's just the two of us.

Baby, me, too.

I can't wait
to sit down to dinner

with my handsome husband and
enjoy a little peace and quiet.

[construction noises]

Damn that woman.

And Bill, too, for failing
to put an end to that ruckus.

You and Hayley were having
a fight about little old me?

Don't-don't act all wide-eyed
and innocent, Dani Dupree.

You live for this stuff.

I guess you do
kind of know me, too.

So, what was the fight about?
I need details.

Well, I'd like to say that
I don't give a damn

about what you need and that
this is between me and my wife.

-Current wife.
-Right.

But you were kind enough
to come all the way

to my office and wish me
an early happy birthday.

So I will say...

...that I was none too pleased
to find out that

Hayley came looking for me
at your place last night.

Yeah, Hayley made quite
the spectacle of herself.

Frankly,
it was quite embarrassing,

but I took the high road,
of course, as I always do.

Is that a fact?

If I really wanted
to get under her skin,

I could've told her
about our kiss the other night,

but I didn't breathe a word.

Mm. Did you tell Andre about it?

-Wasn't worth mentioning.
-Hmm.

So you're already keeping
secrets from your new husband?

Makes me wonder if he might be
keeping secrets from you, too.

What's that supposed to mean?

I mean, seriously, Andre,
how naive can you be?

You're married to the woman

and you don't even know
how she operates.

I know Dani better
than you ever could.

Oh, I have no doubt you know all
about her tastes in the bedroom,

but clearly you know nothing
about who Dani truly is

or how she operates.

-Hmm.
-Like, saying one thing

but meaning another.

Showing up at our house
or at Bill's office

to tell him
for the millionth time

how she's over him
or how she's done with him

when what she's really
trying to do...

-Mm-hmm.
-...is win him back.

Like, how can you
be with someone

who clearly prefers my husband?

-What's even sadder...
-Mm-hmm.

...is that she's wasting her
time because it doesn't work.

Bill is completely unaffected

by all of Dani's
passive-aggressive come-ons.

Hayley, you're the naive one.

It's your husband who's
sniffing around after his ex,

which is no surprise to me

because the man is incapable
of being faithful.

-Bill and I are happy.
-Mm-hmm.

But Dani refuses to see that.

Here's something
you probably don't know,

because why would Bill tell you?

I saw him last night
at Orphey Gene's,

and he read me
the riot act about my wife.

He practically was
staking his claim on Dani.

Andre doesn't keep
any secrets from me.

-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...

daughters' mother,
I want to know about it.

-Well, I guess we'll see.
-What does that mean?

Look, you did not
come all the way over here

to talk to me about
Andre Richardson's trifling ass.

You came to give me
a birthday present.

Well, I don't know
if I want to give it to you now.

Oh, come on, please.

Come on, Dani. I really
want to know what it is.

-You're a child.
-Come on. What'd you get me?

Open it and find out.

SMITTY:
Okay, dinner is ready.

Homework off the table.
Plates on, please.

Is this any good?

Has it seriously been so long

that you're questioning
my taste in wine?

I'm sorry, Smitty the sommelier,

but I just want to make sure
it's paired appropriately

with the entree.

-Which is...
-Lasagna.

-Hey, not for you.
-Aw.

-In France, kids my age...
-Listen to their parents.

It's nice not having
an empty space at the table.

And nice cooking for
the usual number of servings.

Hold up. I want to say
something first.

-Okay.
-That is not for you.

Papa's making a toast, and
I need something to toast with.

Then use your water.

To our family.

It's been so long
since we were together like this

over a lovely meal,

and I promise not to let
that distance grow

between us ever again.

-Amen.
-Amen.

So, how were your days?

AP Chemistry's
getting interesting.

We've reached exothermic
and endothermic processes.

Is that so?

I'm glad you're enjoying
chemistry, Tyrell.

And I know you'll make A's
in whatever processes you study.

What about you, Samantha?

School was fine,
but the highlight of my day

was hanging out with Chelsea
at Orphey Gene's.

-Is she okay?
-Yeah, she's okay.

With everything that's going on,

and since I let
that psycho Allison call in

during the purse launch.

Stop. There's literally
no universe

you could've known
that Allison was hijacking

the livestream from jail.

Of course not,
and I'm sure Chelsea

doesn't hold you
responsible either.

She doesn't.

And we had a great time
at Orphey Gene's,

and she's totally back
to her regular self.

Oh, and I got to hang out
with June, too.

You hung out with our mom again?

What does my son
have to do with any of this?

Donnell came by earlier.

He made a big point

that he didn't feel
it was necessary for me

to be looking after his mother,
that he's got that covered.

You know, when you think about
it, it's really very admirable.

The kid just wants
to protect you.

From you?

No, I didn't take it that way.

I don't believe
that's the way he meant it.

I think he just feels that

it's better for him to be
looking after his mother,

rather than
her business partner.

You didn't say anything?
Suggests anything?

Would I hurt your son?

No, but I didn't think
you'd just lie down

and do whatever he says either,

To be clear,

there is only one member
of your family

that I would ever lie down for,
and that's you.

And only when you're on top.

Oh, come on.

You know, I feel for the kid.

He just lost his father, and he
wants to look after his mother.

I think we should let him.

But you can both look after me,

in very different ways.

But if I were to look after you
in the way you mean,

Donnell, who is far from dumb,

would pick up on that
sooner than later.

If he sees his mother
turning to another man

so soon
after his father's death...

...that is not
going to end well.

That's not going to be an issue.

It's like I was just
telling Nicole.

Donell's going back to Banneker
to be with his sister

-and finish out the semester.
-Banneker?

Well, I guess I wasted my breath
offering him a job.

Wh-What would make you do that?

He has potential.

He does, but we didn't
send him to college...

To work in a casino. You know,
I-I do have other businesses.

Several of them
are actually legit.

-I know, but still...
-You want something better

for your son
than working for me.

It's okay. I get it.

I'm not even insulted.

Maybe a little insulted.

Well, lucky for you,
he turned me down.

He said he didn't want
to work in a place that

basically killed his father.

Well, I'm glad
he won't be working with you.

I don't want him
blaming the casino

for what Doug did to himself.

This casino didn't kill Doug
any more than you did.

I'm just trying
to look out for him.

I appreciate that.

I appreciate you.
It means a lot to me.

You mean a lot to me,

which is why I don't want you
pushing me away

because you think
it's what my son wants.

I want you to concentrate
on what I want,

and what I want is you.

Okay?

Well...

...if you insist.

[clears throat]

Randy. I...

[stammering]
What are you doing here?

Last I knew, you two
had, uh, parted ways

and you had left town.

Yeah, well, things change.

I've been back for a minute now.

Joey and I managed
to work things out.

Even gave my job back.

When did this happen?
How did this happen?

Randy and I came
to an understanding.

Isn't that right, Randy?

Right.

Doug's unfortunate death
made me realize that

life is just too short.

And, uh, for my own sake,

I should just let
bygones be bygones.

Well, I'm glad you two were
able to work things out.

At least...

some good came out of...
out of all of this.

RANDY:
I didn't get a chance
to tell you before,

but I am so sorry about Doug.

You know, he and I have been
friends for a long time.

Thank you, Randy. He really
valued your friendship.

I'd hoped you'd say a few words
at the memorial, but...

I really wanted to be there.

-I just...
-What?

I didn't think Joey would
take too kindly to that.

Bill tried to put me on notice.
Do you believe that?

Told me if I hurt her,

that he'd find a way to make me
regret it in some kind of way.

Please. When he is the king
of making Dani feel pain.

Wait, so he was acting
concerned about her?

Emphasis on "acting."

He pretty much accused me
of marrying her for her money.

-It almost sounds like he was...
-Jealous?

Of course not.

But...

Bill can be a compassionate man.

I mean, he can be
protective of his ex

and still not care about her
in that kind of way.

Mm. Well,
you tell yourself that

if it helps you
sleep better at night.

He wants you
to make her happy, is all.

No, it's more like
he wants me out of her life.

But that's not happening, is it?

Funny you should ask.

The Duprees,
pretty much everybody,

is pushing for us two
to break up

and to dissolve
this relationship.

It's gotten
to the point now that Dani

told me to think about...

if I still wanted
to be with her.

And...?

The fact that she asked that

meant that I had to seriously
consider our marriage

and whether or not we really
have a future together.

I just texted her
a little while ago

and told her
that I had made my decision.

So... what did you decide?

You know what, Hayley? Um...

You just worry
about your marriage, okay?

And I'm gonna worry about mine.

But listen,

I don't think you should listen
to the Duprees or anybody else.

I think you and Dani could
make each other very happy.

Thanks. And if I ever do
get that registry,

you'll be the first to know.

Well, it's getting late.
I should go.

Yeah.

Hey, send my best to Bill.

You do the same with Dani.

Yeah.

BILL:
What's this?

The original key to this place.

I had it gold plated
and made into a necklace.

Remember when you won
that big Miller case

and you could finally afford
to move out

of the rinky-dink space
you were renting?

Yeah. Oh, I couldn't wait
to get out of there.

You hated that place, too,

even though you kept
trying to fix it up.

I couldn't have
the clients my father

was sending you
see you in squalor.

Appearances matter.

And then you surprised me
by finding

this bougie office space.

This perfect office space.

The date's inscribed on there.

I can't believe
you went to all the trouble.

I didn't.

Well, not this year, anyway.

I actually
had it made last year,

but by the time your birthday
rolled around,

our marriage had blown up.

So I happened to stumble
across it today

when I was making space
for Andre's things.

Realized what day it was
and figured it was kismet.

So here it is.

I hope you like it.

I love it.

-Thank you, Dani.
-Sure.

I know how much you liked
the food last time we came here.

You know I love Orphey Gene's,

but I think I might be
the only one.

This place looks like
it's going out of business.

Where is everybody?

I can assure you, Orphey Gene's
is doing very well.

But there's nobody here.

You said you were looking
forward to some peace and quiet.

So, uh, while you were getting
your coat, I called ahead,

spoke with the manager,
and I arranged it so that

we could have the place
all to ourselves.

You know that I wasn't
thrilled with you

spending time
with your biological mom.

But I thought about it.

At first,
I told myself that I was just

trying to protect you,
which I was.

But I think that I was also

trying to protect myself.

With everything going on
between your Pop and me,

I realized that I was...

afraid of losing you, too.

Dad, that could never happen.

Samantha's right.
We do only have one dad.

Hey.

What?

He's Dad,
and you're Pop, Pop.

And nobody could replace
either one of you.

It's so wonderful to see you
again, Ms. Williams.

It's lovely
to see you, too, June.

You two know each other?

This is Tyrell
and Samantha's mother.

Ah, yes.
I've heard all about you.

Just never had the pleasure
of meeting you in person, June.

Why, thank you, Mayor Dupree.

June, it's actually
Senator Dupree.

Oh, I know that,
but the other server said

he was, like, the mayor
of Orphey Gene's.

I am a great admirer
of you and your wife.

And I can't imagine

two better great-grandparents
for my babies.

They have been a blessing
to all of us.

Well, I'm going to let you two
enjoy your meal.

I'm going to be in the kitchen
helping the cook clean.

Just holler
if you need anything.

-Thank you, June.
-VERNON: Thank you.

So that's the famous June?

That is she.

Ah, she seems to be getting
her life together.

-She's certainly trying.
-Well, that's all to the good.

So, let's dig in.

Randy, why would you think
I would have a problem

with you going
to Doug's memorial?

Well, it was no secret
Doug was threatening to cause

you and your organization
a whole lot of trouble.

And I just figured
it would really piss you off

if you knew I'd gone
to pay my respects.

Doug wasn't going to go through
with any of that, though, Randy.

He and I talked, and he agreed
to drop all that nonsense.

Of course he did.

So, Randy,
I would have no problem

with you going
to your old friend's funeral.

I would've
been there myself, but...

I get it.

Would've been really awkward
under the circumstances.

I saw Donnell
the other day, Vanessa.

Can't believe how big
that boy has gotten.

And how's Deanna?

Grieving, but, uh,
she's seeing a therapist

and leaning on her friends.
We talk every day.

They're doing a lot better
than I would've at their age.

Well, give them my best.

Randy, uh, the twins
don't know anything about, uh...

Joey and me,
other-other than business,

so, uh, if-if you could
not say anything or...

hint at anything.

I understand the assignment.

Say no more.

Randy...

I really did love Doug,
you know.

So did I.

Vanessa,
can I offer you a ride home?

Do you mind closing up, Randy?

No problem, boss.
Whatever you need.

[door closes]

I am... I'm sorry
about that. I'm...

That shouldn't have happened.

-Of course, it was a mistake.
-Yeah.

Look, I'm late to meet Andre.

Yeah, yeah, I should, um,

probably get back
to these papers.

[clears throat]

Um, Dani?

Thanks again for the gift.

Happy birthday.

-That was nice.
-No, it wasn't.

Having a ordinary dinner
with our family?

It was wonderful.

I stand corrected.

But I want to know
how you're feeling.

Are you really okay
with Samantha

spending time with June?

Not yet, but I will be.

At least you're honest.

I try to be.

Did I mention I am honestly
so happy that you're home?

You might have, but I don't mind
hearing every now and then.

How about we clean this up
in the morning?

Okay.

First sweet potato pie
of the season.

Sounds wonderful.

There is nothing
Vernon likes more

than Orphey Gene's
sweet potato pie.

Well, there is.

My sweet wife.

And what if I wanted
both pieces of pie?

I would sweetly say,

"You're out of
your ever-loving mind."

I'm going to let you two
enjoy your pie.

It was so nice meeting you,
Mayor Dupree.

And it's so nice
to see you again, Ms. Williams.

Nice to see you, too, June.

Thank you.

Maybe we should order
one of these pies

when Jackie Tyree
comes for Thanksgiving.

Are you serious about inviting
that impersonator

to come to our house
for the holiday?

Well, what's the matter, Vernon?

Can't handle two of me?

I can't handle one of you.

Uh-uh.

What? Now, you want
both pieces of pie?

Well, no. Maybe. Nah.

I need you
to do something first.

[soft music playing]

Dance with me.

[indistinct chatter]

Hey.

I got your message.

Yeah.

So what did you decide?

Well, I want us to stay married.

Okay. I am officially tired
of this blindfold.

Tough. Blindfold stays.

Okay. As long as you
make it worth my while.

I am about to.

Now, you can take it off.

Oh, your clothes are still on.

That is because my birthday suit
is not the birthday surprise.

This is.

What is all this?

The Law Offices
of Bill Hamilton, Esquire.

I have found you
the perfect space

to build your own legal empire.

Baby...

What?

-Yeah.
-Look.

Baby, this is amazing.

-I don't know how to thank you.
-You already do.

Just keep making me
the happiest woman in the world.

Go, go, go.

We alone?

Cameras are off.

But didn't I tell you I'd take
care of that when you texted?

Don't get smart with me, Randy.
Not in the mood.

Girl, nobody worried
about your mood. What's up?

Bill thinks he can play me
after everything I laid down?

Nah. I can't let that ride.
It's time to lock in, coz.

Hey, you know I got you.
What's the move?

We take his legs from under him.
Clean, fast, done.
