ANITA:
We were in the throes of the holidays
2
00:00:07,413 --> 00:00:10,103
and there was so much going on,
you know how it is.
3
00:00:10,206 --> 00:00:12,793
And I told myself I would
4
00:00:12,896 --> 00:00:15,931
put off my wellness exams,
including my mammogram,
5
00:00:15,932 --> 00:00:18,033
until, you know,
sometime down the road.
6
00:00:18,034 --> 00:00:20,793
Maybe the early part of 2026,
when things wind down.
7
00:00:20,896 --> 00:00:24,724
And I mentioned
this to a friend, Laura,
8
00:00:24,725 --> 00:00:26,895
who was assisting me with
keeping all the balls
9
00:00:26,896 --> 00:00:31,413
in the air, and she gave me
the nudge that I needed.
10
00:00:31,517 --> 00:00:33,620
And that small push
11
00:00:33,724 --> 00:00:34,793
changed everything.
12
00:00:34,794 --> 00:00:36,102
GAYLE:
I'm thinking, Anita,
13
00:00:36,103 --> 00:00:37,654
we all need
a Laura in our lives.
14
00:00:37,655 --> 00:00:39,241
So, tell us what happened next.
15
00:00:39,344 --> 00:00:43,206
Well, that mammogram
led to an ultrasound,
16
00:00:43,310 --> 00:00:45,413
and the ultrasound
led to a biopsy.
17
00:00:45,517 --> 00:00:46,896
Just before Christmas,
18
00:00:47,000 --> 00:00:49,896
I was diagnosed with
triple-negative breast cancer.
19
00:00:50,000 --> 00:00:52,689
And it's a very
aggressive kind of
20
00:00:52,793 --> 00:00:57,206
cancer that disproportionately
effects younger women,
21
00:00:57,310 --> 00:01:00,413
BRCA1 mutation carriers
and Black women.
22
00:01:00,517 --> 00:01:02,034
So, Christmas comes...
23
00:01:02,137 --> 00:01:05,344
Hello? Have we become
a "seat yourself" greasy spoon?
24
00:01:05,448 --> 00:01:07,689
-Shh.
-Yes, I had my port inserted
25
00:01:07,793 --> 00:01:09,310
just after the new year,
26
00:01:09,413 --> 00:01:12,482
and I have gone through
several rounds of chemo.
27
00:01:12,586 --> 00:01:15,586
And when that's done,
assuming that the tumor
28
00:01:15,689 --> 00:01:17,310
has decreased in size,
29
00:01:17,413 --> 00:01:18,493
I'll undergo surgery.
30
00:01:18,494 --> 00:01:19,792
-This is ridiculous.
-But one thing
31
00:01:19,793 --> 00:01:22,344
that I am certain of
32
00:01:22,448 --> 00:01:24,379
is that if I had
waited to be screened,
33
00:01:24,482 --> 00:01:27,482
even for a few months,
34
00:01:27,586 --> 00:01:30,413
my chances of success
would be far less.
35
00:01:30,517 --> 00:01:33,068
GAYLE: Is that why you chose
to tell your story
36
00:01:33,172 --> 00:01:35,517
on your terms
and come forward today?
37
00:01:35,518 --> 00:01:38,067
I know there are women
watching right now who have
38
00:01:38,068 --> 00:01:41,137
put off their mammograms
because it's inconvenient,
39
00:01:41,241 --> 00:01:43,000
because it's uncomfortable.
40
00:01:43,103 --> 00:01:46,586
I hope my story will give
them the push that they need.
41
00:01:47,758 --> 00:01:49,931
And if it's not you
but someone you love,
42
00:01:50,034 --> 00:01:52,896
then nudge them.
43
00:01:53,000 --> 00:01:56,827
Call, make the appointment.
Drive them.
44
00:01:56,931 --> 00:01:59,281
We have to be diligent
and do whatever it takes
45
00:01:59,379 --> 00:02:01,758
because cancer doesn't
wait for us to be ready.
46
00:02:02,862 --> 00:02:04,655
No. And it certainly
47
00:02:04,758 --> 00:02:07,724
doesn't disappear
if we try to hide from it.
48
00:02:07,827 --> 00:02:09,517
There was nothing I needed more
49
00:02:09,620 --> 00:02:12,482
than to be surrounded
by my family
50
00:02:12,586 --> 00:02:15,034
and to show them,
beyond a shadow of a doubt,
51
00:02:15,137 --> 00:02:16,551
how much they mean to me.
52
00:02:16,552 --> 00:02:18,757
I'm thinking having
your family right there
53
00:02:18,758 --> 00:02:20,620
beside you during this battle...
54
00:02:22,206 --> 00:02:23,655
To me, that seems key.
55
00:02:23,758 --> 00:02:25,655
But what has it meant to you?
56
00:02:25,758 --> 00:02:28,896
They have been
everything I've needed,
57
00:02:29,000 --> 00:02:31,551
and I have needed
all the things.
58
00:02:31,655 --> 00:02:34,586
Comfort and strength,
59
00:02:34,689 --> 00:02:37,068
tears and laughter,
60
00:02:37,172 --> 00:02:38,758
bad jokes
61
00:02:38,862 --> 00:02:39,965
and good music.
62
00:02:40,068 --> 00:02:41,551
They are carrying me
63
00:02:41,655 --> 00:02:43,103
through this harsh winter
64
00:02:43,206 --> 00:02:44,551
of fear and pain.
65
00:02:45,551 --> 00:02:47,137
And if I make it through this-
66
00:02:48,655 --> 00:02:51,172
I should say "when
I make it through this,"
67
00:02:51,275 --> 00:02:54,517
because I have every
intention of doing so.
68
00:02:55,551 --> 00:02:59,482
Well, I hope your grandmother's
message got through.
69
00:02:59,586 --> 00:03:03,551
For a smart lawyer, you can be
so unbelievably dumb sometimes.
70
00:03:05,034 --> 00:03:06,793
-Ashley.
-Naomi.
71
00:03:06,794 --> 00:03:09,861
Don't you think it's time
that you tell your family
72
00:03:09,862 --> 00:03:11,619
you tested positive
for the BRCA gene?
73
00:03:11,620 --> 00:03:14,330
Don't you think it's time
you mind your own business?
74
00:03:15,241 --> 00:03:17,896
? ?
75
00:03:45,275 --> 00:03:48,103
-Thank you, love.
-So, I have terrific news.
76
00:03:48,206 --> 00:03:49,689
-Okay.
-Provident Medical
77
00:03:49,793 --> 00:03:51,473
will donate five heart monitors,
78
00:03:51,474 --> 00:03:53,240
and Garland Memorial
promised the same.
79
00:03:53,241 --> 00:03:55,482
-Oh, oh, and other great news.
-Mm-hmm?
80
00:03:55,586 --> 00:03:57,000
Derek wants the job.
81
00:03:58,000 --> 00:04:01,068
Yeah, well, great news
would be me finding out
82
00:04:01,172 --> 00:04:03,620
that my shouse is finished,
83
00:04:03,724 --> 00:04:08,275
or that Izaiah wants to make
an honest woman out of you.
84
00:04:08,276 --> 00:04:10,274
Now that Derek is on board,
we can open.
85
00:04:10,275 --> 00:04:12,274
He knows exactly
what we need to get certified.
86
00:04:12,275 --> 00:04:13,325
Hm.
87
00:04:13,379 --> 00:04:14,482
[phone dings]
88
00:04:16,758 --> 00:04:17,862
Ugh.
89
00:04:17,965 --> 00:04:19,517
Those Dupree women.
90
00:04:19,620 --> 00:04:22,827
On my feed day and night.
91
00:04:22,931 --> 00:04:25,379
You know, I haven't even
gotten any traction
92
00:04:25,482 --> 00:04:28,482
from the media
for my charitable work.
93
00:04:28,586 --> 00:04:31,241
I mean, it's all about
Dani Dupree this,
94
00:04:31,344 --> 00:04:33,896
and Anita Dupree that.
95
00:04:34,000 --> 00:04:36,034
Ugh.
96
00:04:37,068 --> 00:04:39,586
I know. I know, I know.
97
00:04:39,689 --> 00:04:41,482
All right, so I am going to make
98
00:04:41,586 --> 00:04:46,000
a splashy announcement about
the free clinic today.
99
00:04:50,482 --> 00:04:52,448
Mrs. Dupree, we were all glued
100
00:04:52,551 --> 00:04:55,021
to the program. Thank you
for having such courage.
101
00:04:55,103 --> 00:04:57,793
A member of my waitstaff
will be right with you both.
102
00:04:57,896 --> 00:05:00,103
-Thank you, Eugene.
-Thank you.
103
00:05:00,206 --> 00:05:01,517
You see, darling?
104
00:05:01,620 --> 00:05:04,482
You're already
having a big impact,
105
00:05:04,586 --> 00:05:07,965
and the segment
just finished airing.
106
00:05:08,068 --> 00:05:09,758
You poor, poor dear.
107
00:05:09,862 --> 00:05:11,551
Cancer?
108
00:05:11,655 --> 00:05:13,155
If there's anything you need-
109
00:05:13,172 --> 00:05:15,068
There is.
110
00:05:15,172 --> 00:05:16,931
I need you to take
all those stones
111
00:05:17,034 --> 00:05:19,586
you've been throwing
and put them in your pocket,
112
00:05:19,689 --> 00:05:22,758
and then drive straight
to Rehoboth Beach and walk in,
113
00:05:22,862 --> 00:05:26,068
and keep walking until
those stones weigh you down
114
00:05:26,069 --> 00:05:28,757
to join the rest of the
bottom-feeders that live there.
115
00:05:28,758 --> 00:05:32,620
Your faux sincerity
is making me sicker than chemo.
116
00:05:32,724 --> 00:05:34,620
I can drive you.
117
00:05:34,724 --> 00:05:36,413
How dare you?
118
00:05:36,517 --> 00:05:39,862
I will not be maligned
by a woman who consorts with
119
00:05:39,965 --> 00:05:42,034
criminal degenerates.
120
00:05:42,137 --> 00:05:45,413
Nor will I be treated
like a second-class citizen
121
00:05:45,517 --> 00:05:47,620
in my own club by a woman
122
00:05:47,724 --> 00:05:50,000
who shook her tail feather
on the stage
123
00:05:50,103 --> 00:05:51,758
and then married into status.
124
00:05:51,862 --> 00:05:54,965
May I remind you, Anastasia,
125
00:05:55,068 --> 00:05:57,793
my father founded this club,
126
00:05:57,896 --> 00:06:02,103
and his vision was a safe place
127
00:06:02,206 --> 00:06:06,344
for tail feather-shakers
and heads of state,
128
00:06:06,448 --> 00:06:10,275
all celebrating
their uniqueness.
129
00:06:10,379 --> 00:06:12,655
Perhaps it's time for me
to speak with Gabe
130
00:06:12,758 --> 00:06:14,344
and discuss your membership.
131
00:06:15,896 --> 00:06:18,827
I can assure you
that-that won't be necessary.
132
00:06:22,241 --> 00:06:24,531
Laura, I didn't realize
you encouraged Gran
133
00:06:24,586 --> 00:06:26,413
to get her mammogram. Props.
134
00:06:26,517 --> 00:06:28,517
Mm, the credit goes to Nicole.
135
00:06:28,620 --> 00:06:30,172
If she hadn't loaned me out
136
00:06:30,275 --> 00:06:32,034
to Anita for WinterFest prep,
137
00:06:32,035 --> 00:06:34,067
Anita might have kept
pushing back the appointments.
138
00:06:34,068 --> 00:06:37,000
I believe
it was something else.
139
00:06:37,103 --> 00:06:38,793
Divine intervention.
140
00:06:38,896 --> 00:06:41,206
Mm. Have your changes escalated
141
00:06:41,310 --> 00:06:43,206
from wardrobe
to the metaphysical?
142
00:06:43,310 --> 00:06:47,034
I only mean
that it takes a lot of pieces
143
00:06:47,137 --> 00:06:49,965
to fit together
to get Mother to this point.
144
00:06:50,068 --> 00:06:52,793
It wasn't luck or a coincidence.
145
00:06:52,896 --> 00:06:55,344
The Duprees have
angels watching over us.
146
00:06:56,482 --> 00:06:58,517
I totally believe in angels.
147
00:06:58,620 --> 00:07:00,034
I have one on my shoulder.
148
00:07:00,137 --> 00:07:03,103
I know my mom is
watching over me 24/7.
149
00:07:04,379 --> 00:07:06,909
It's the only way I can
explain how I'm still alive.
150
00:07:07,000 --> 00:07:08,241
[tires screeching]
151
00:07:08,344 --> 00:07:10,448
...either.
Speaking of angels,
152
00:07:10,551 --> 00:07:13,551
I wish there was
an avenging angel around
153
00:07:13,655 --> 00:07:15,413
to strike that leviathan down,
154
00:07:15,517 --> 00:07:19,034
and if Eva got
vanquished in the process,
155
00:07:19,137 --> 00:07:21,965
well, that?
156
00:07:22,068 --> 00:07:24,137
That would be
divine intervention.
157
00:07:27,344 --> 00:07:30,310
It takes a lot
to coordinate a press event.
158
00:07:30,413 --> 00:07:33,482
Booking a venue,
deciding on news outlets.
159
00:07:33,586 --> 00:07:36,310
Do you have a mission statement?
Press packets?
160
00:07:36,413 --> 00:07:39,137
A single person on your team
that's not me?
161
00:07:39,241 --> 00:07:41,827
Girl, I do not need
all of that, okay?
162
00:07:41,931 --> 00:07:44,586
I am perfectly capable
of handling myself
163
00:07:44,689 --> 00:07:46,586
in front of a gaggle of hacks.
164
00:07:46,689 --> 00:07:49,034
This is so last minute.
165
00:07:49,137 --> 00:07:51,586
And that is why
they call it "news," my dear.
166
00:07:51,689 --> 00:07:53,931
It is new.
167
00:07:54,034 --> 00:07:56,620
And I am making
the announcement today.
168
00:07:56,724 --> 00:07:58,482
M'kay?
169
00:07:58,586 --> 00:07:59,896
And you know what?
170
00:08:00,000 --> 00:08:02,689
I know exactly
who to rub elbows with.
171
00:08:02,793 --> 00:08:05,758
So, I am going
to alert the media
172
00:08:05,862 --> 00:08:08,275
and you can handle the rest.
173
00:08:08,379 --> 00:08:10,793
And where are you
planning on doing this?
174
00:08:10,896 --> 00:08:12,896
Right here
is Orphey Gene's, baby.
175
00:08:13,000 --> 00:08:15,344
Look, it is the perfect spot.
176
00:08:15,448 --> 00:08:18,896
I mean, it's right smack dab in
the middle of the neighborhood
177
00:08:19,000 --> 00:08:21,310
benefiting from the clinic.
178
00:08:21,413 --> 00:08:23,724
Okay, so what's my job?
179
00:08:24,758 --> 00:08:28,724
Okay, so you get permission
from the manager.
180
00:08:28,827 --> 00:08:31,379
And then you round up
an audience of
181
00:08:31,482 --> 00:08:34,793
homely-looking people,
and I mean ones who look like
182
00:08:34,896 --> 00:08:37,931
they need a doc
and not a mortician.
183
00:08:38,034 --> 00:08:41,827
And the revenue the restaurant
will lose hosting this event?
184
00:08:41,931 --> 00:08:45,482
Mama Warbucks in da house.
185
00:08:45,586 --> 00:08:47,310
And you get to work.
186
00:08:47,413 --> 00:08:50,000
Soon the news outlets
will be saying
187
00:08:50,103 --> 00:08:51,793
"Dupree who?
188
00:08:51,896 --> 00:08:56,586
Leslie Thomas is in
the headlines now." Mm.
189
00:08:58,896 --> 00:09:00,482
Why are you so upset with me?
190
00:09:01,793 --> 00:09:05,310
This decision is mine, okay?
191
00:09:05,311 --> 00:09:06,723
If my Gran wants
to tell the world
192
00:09:06,724 --> 00:09:09,448
she's got breast cancer, cool.
I applaud her.
193
00:09:09,551 --> 00:09:12,724
But I do not want anyone knowing
that I am carrying that gene.
194
00:09:12,827 --> 00:09:17,034
Look, this decision
is complicated. I get that.
195
00:09:17,137 --> 00:09:19,907
But you have never gotten
up in my face like that before.
196
00:09:20,793 --> 00:09:22,655
What's really going on, Naomi?
197
00:09:24,379 --> 00:09:25,793
Jacob moved out.
198
00:09:31,379 --> 00:09:35,482
I have always thought
you were stronger than most,
199
00:09:35,586 --> 00:09:38,068
But sharing your cancer
journey with the world
200
00:09:38,172 --> 00:09:39,482
was amazing.
201
00:09:40,758 --> 00:09:43,344
No doubt that Anita's army
202
00:09:43,345 --> 00:09:45,585
will help get the word out
about the importance
203
00:09:45,586 --> 00:09:48,034
of annual screenings
and early detection.
204
00:09:48,137 --> 00:09:50,517
Her army's already deployed,
205
00:09:50,620 --> 00:09:54,241
ever since the promo started
running for the interview.
206
00:09:54,344 --> 00:09:57,413
People have been
flooding my socials with
207
00:09:57,517 --> 00:10:00,103
prayers, testimonials,
208
00:10:00,206 --> 00:10:03,310
screenshots of the mammogram
appointments they've booked.
209
00:10:04,310 --> 00:10:07,241
They've even donated
to various cancer foundations
210
00:10:07,344 --> 00:10:08,664
in honor of family members.
211
00:10:08,665 --> 00:10:10,723
I mean, all the things
that I urged them to do
212
00:10:10,724 --> 00:10:11,896
in the interview.
213
00:10:12,000 --> 00:10:15,448
Simply incredible.
Well, it's getting late.
214
00:10:15,551 --> 00:10:16,965
I'll let you enjoy lunch.
215
00:10:16,966 --> 00:10:19,274
Oh, before you go, Vanessa,
I want to thank you
216
00:10:19,275 --> 00:10:22,241
for asking Donnell to be
Samantha's escort at cotillion.
217
00:10:22,344 --> 00:10:23,551
Oh, yes.
218
00:10:23,655 --> 00:10:25,724
What a sight to imagine.
219
00:10:25,827 --> 00:10:28,827
Our great-granddaughter
making her debut
220
00:10:28,931 --> 00:10:31,620
on the arm of a Banneker man.
221
00:10:31,724 --> 00:10:33,862
Always happy
to help however I can.
222
00:10:33,863 --> 00:10:35,723
I'm just so happy
Samantha hasn't allowed
223
00:10:35,724 --> 00:10:40,068
my situation to temper
her excitement about cotillion.
224
00:10:40,069 --> 00:10:42,688
I never wanted my family
to stop living their lives
225
00:10:42,689 --> 00:10:45,137
because I became ill.
226
00:10:45,241 --> 00:10:47,862
Kids' resilience
is pretty marvelous.
227
00:10:47,965 --> 00:10:50,482
They can bounce back from
adversity so quickly.
228
00:10:51,448 --> 00:10:52,586
Usually.
229
00:10:53,896 --> 00:10:55,793
What is it, Vanessa?
230
00:10:57,517 --> 00:11:00,137
Deanna's still
having a tough time
231
00:11:00,241 --> 00:11:01,793
dealing with Doug's death.
232
00:11:01,794 --> 00:11:05,136
I thought she was
doing better over the holidays,
233
00:11:05,137 --> 00:11:07,413
but she seems to have regressed.
234
00:11:07,517 --> 00:11:09,517
I came up with the idea of
235
00:11:09,620 --> 00:11:12,965
Donnell escorting Samantha,
hoping that...
236
00:11:12,966 --> 00:11:14,757
he'd come home
and bring her with him.
237
00:11:14,758 --> 00:11:17,310
She's...
she's been away for so long.
238
00:11:17,413 --> 00:11:20,310
Deanna will...
239
00:11:20,413 --> 00:11:23,137
she'll work her way
through her grief in time.
240
00:11:24,172 --> 00:11:28,137
She has a strong, loving mother
to show her the way through.
241
00:11:29,206 --> 00:11:30,655
It's hard to be an example
242
00:11:30,758 --> 00:11:34,344
when there are days
I just feel so incredibly...
243
00:11:35,379 --> 00:11:38,689
...sad over Doug's death.
244
00:11:39,965 --> 00:11:42,655
May I offer you
something, Vanessa?
245
00:11:44,103 --> 00:11:45,448
Of course.
246
00:11:46,482 --> 00:11:49,034
When I am at my lowest,
247
00:11:49,137 --> 00:11:53,137
I think of the words
of Archbishop Desmond Tutu.
248
00:11:53,241 --> 00:11:54,758
"Hope...
249
00:11:54,862 --> 00:11:57,827
"is being able
to see that there is light
250
00:11:57,931 --> 00:12:00,275
despite all the darkness."
251
00:12:01,758 --> 00:12:04,827
I've started reciting
these words daily.
252
00:12:04,931 --> 00:12:07,000
They comfort me.
253
00:12:07,103 --> 00:12:09,655
I hope you'll
find comfort in them as well.
254
00:12:09,758 --> 00:12:11,034
Thank you.
255
00:12:13,931 --> 00:12:15,896
Mother is such a badass.
256
00:12:16,000 --> 00:12:18,137
Going on TV,
opening up about her health
257
00:12:18,241 --> 00:12:20,111
and looking flawless
while doing it.
258
00:12:21,172 --> 00:12:23,620
Sounds like someone else I know.
259
00:12:23,724 --> 00:12:25,965
Blazing through life in style.
260
00:12:26,068 --> 00:12:27,931
I want to meet this woman.
261
00:12:28,034 --> 00:12:30,924
Okay. Well, I'll get your
lighted mirror from your vanity.
262
00:12:33,103 --> 00:12:34,620
Come on. I'm serious.
263
00:12:34,724 --> 00:12:36,655
You are your mother's daughter.
264
00:12:36,758 --> 00:12:38,448
With half the class.
265
00:12:38,551 --> 00:12:41,201
Mother would never walk into
a wedding packing heat.
266
00:12:42,172 --> 00:12:44,103
Dani, she never had to.
267
00:12:44,206 --> 00:12:46,482
Vernon respects
the sanctity of marriage.
268
00:12:46,483 --> 00:12:48,999
I always wanted to be
with someone who looks at me
269
00:12:49,000 --> 00:12:50,810
the way my father
looks at my mother.
270
00:12:50,862 --> 00:12:52,689
And how is that?
271
00:12:52,793 --> 00:12:55,655
With wonder and reverence.
272
00:12:56,620 --> 00:12:58,689
Even after all these years,
273
00:12:58,793 --> 00:13:02,482
Daddy is still
completely in awe.
274
00:13:02,586 --> 00:13:04,655
I know the feeling.
275
00:13:04,758 --> 00:13:06,206
I'm a lucky man.
276
00:13:07,413 --> 00:13:09,413
To be married
to a woman who constantly
277
00:13:09,517 --> 00:13:11,448
gives me
new reasons to love her.
278
00:13:11,449 --> 00:13:15,654
I'm pretty sure tequila
had something to do with that.
279
00:13:15,655 --> 00:13:17,620
-Eh...
-[laughs]
280
00:13:18,827 --> 00:13:20,965
Smitty.
281
00:13:21,068 --> 00:13:23,103
I am glad to see you.
282
00:13:23,206 --> 00:13:24,448
Why is that?
283
00:13:24,551 --> 00:13:27,448
Okay, listen,
I am announcing the opening
284
00:13:27,551 --> 00:13:31,137
of my new clinic, and I thought
285
00:13:31,241 --> 00:13:34,172
it'd be great to have
a first-class journalist
286
00:13:34,275 --> 00:13:37,689
like yourself
to get the first scoop.
287
00:13:37,793 --> 00:13:40,103
Yeah, I can't believe that you
288
00:13:40,206 --> 00:13:42,517
are asking me,
of all people, for help.
289
00:13:42,620 --> 00:13:45,379
Why? I mean, you're a journalist
290
00:13:45,482 --> 00:13:47,827
and you do live
for first digs, right?
291
00:13:47,931 --> 00:13:50,827
You co-opted
the idea of the free clinic
292
00:13:50,931 --> 00:13:53,379
from my daughter Samantha.
293
00:13:53,482 --> 00:13:56,034
Fine, she can stand next to me.
294
00:13:56,035 --> 00:13:58,136
Just let little Sammy
stand right next to me
295
00:13:58,137 --> 00:14:00,547
in the press conference, okay?
Is that better?
296
00:14:00,548 --> 00:14:02,343
No.
297
00:14:02,344 --> 00:14:03,482
Oh.
298
00:14:03,586 --> 00:14:05,448
She can take some pictures.
299
00:14:14,517 --> 00:14:16,827
This has been
quite the day already.
300
00:14:18,344 --> 00:14:20,586
Hope this confab
doesn't end up with you
301
00:14:20,587 --> 00:14:22,447
nearly losing your lunch
like you did
302
00:14:22,448 --> 00:14:24,034
last time we were together.
303
00:14:24,137 --> 00:14:25,689
Don't count on it.
304
00:14:28,030 --> 00:14:31,412
Wait, did something
happen between you guys?
305
00:14:31,413 --> 00:14:32,378
Why would he move out?
306
00:14:32,379 --> 00:14:34,448
To keep me safe.
307
00:14:34,449 --> 00:14:36,930
Oh, because of the undercover
case he's working on?
308
00:14:36,931 --> 00:14:39,965
Yeah. And the people
he's trying to take down
309
00:14:40,068 --> 00:14:41,482
are dangerous.
310
00:14:41,483 --> 00:14:44,274
He couldn't even tell me
when we'd see each other again.
311
00:14:44,275 --> 00:14:47,206
Mm. Well, no wonder
you're on edge.
312
00:14:47,310 --> 00:14:51,000
That's a lot to take on,
especially with everything else.
313
00:14:51,001 --> 00:14:52,895
You know,
I'm used to feeling anxious
314
00:14:52,896 --> 00:14:55,310
when he leaves for work,
but this?
315
00:14:55,413 --> 00:14:57,620
This takes it
to a whole nother level.
316
00:14:58,793 --> 00:15:00,965
You know, the night
that he told me
317
00:15:01,068 --> 00:15:02,413
he'd have to move out,
318
00:15:02,517 --> 00:15:06,689
we made love like it
would be the last time.
319
00:15:06,793 --> 00:15:09,172
Oh, my God. What if it was?
320
00:15:09,275 --> 00:15:11,931
No. No, we're not
gonna even go there.
321
00:15:12,034 --> 00:15:14,896
Jacob is an excellent cop.
He is not reckless.
322
00:15:15,000 --> 00:15:16,758
He's smart.
He's gonna come home.
323
00:15:17,965 --> 00:15:20,551
How did you deal
with Derek's job?
324
00:15:20,655 --> 00:15:23,689
Dating a fireman is as stressful
as being with a cop.
325
00:15:23,793 --> 00:15:26,793
Yeah, well, Mom is my lifesaver.
326
00:15:26,896 --> 00:15:29,551
She'd keep me sane
when I would spin out
327
00:15:29,655 --> 00:15:32,827
over some three-alarm fire
Derek got called to.
328
00:15:32,931 --> 00:15:35,551
Oh, she would drag me
to the gym, to the movies,
329
00:15:35,655 --> 00:15:38,206
even
Love Boat fan club events.
330
00:15:39,482 --> 00:15:42,517
If you can stand it,
331
00:15:42,620 --> 00:15:44,275
I could be your Jan.
332
00:15:44,379 --> 00:15:47,827
We can play bocce ball,
we can go to wine tasting.
333
00:15:48,896 --> 00:15:51,137
We can literally do
anything that you want.
334
00:15:53,103 --> 00:15:55,793
I do empathize with you two.
335
00:15:55,896 --> 00:15:58,068
I mean, my mother, Peaches-
336
00:15:58,172 --> 00:15:59,965
well, the woman who raised me-
337
00:16:00,068 --> 00:16:01,517
is still ill.
338
00:16:01,620 --> 00:16:04,241
And, I mean,
it takes a toll on both
339
00:16:04,344 --> 00:16:06,206
the patient and the family.
340
00:16:07,620 --> 00:16:10,172
Anita, your words were powerful.
341
00:16:10,173 --> 00:16:12,792
Well, I'm grateful the
interview touched so many lives,
342
00:16:12,793 --> 00:16:14,000
including yours.
343
00:16:14,103 --> 00:16:17,241
Oh, well, I didn't
get to see the whole thing,
344
00:16:17,344 --> 00:16:20,206
but, uh, I did
catch the highlights.
345
00:16:20,310 --> 00:16:23,172
And that's what I'm here
to speak to you about.
346
00:16:23,275 --> 00:16:25,034
I'm gearing up for
347
00:16:25,137 --> 00:16:26,655
my own announcement.
348
00:16:26,656 --> 00:16:27,757
I mean, nothing as dire
349
00:16:27,758 --> 00:16:30,517
as cancer, of course,
350
00:16:30,620 --> 00:16:34,000
but something that
will affect just as many.
351
00:16:34,103 --> 00:16:36,137
If not more, in fact.
352
00:16:36,241 --> 00:16:38,000
Leslie, what
do you want from me?
353
00:16:38,103 --> 00:16:42,586
Well, I would love it, Anita,
354
00:16:42,689 --> 00:16:44,931
if you could
give me Gayle's number
355
00:16:45,034 --> 00:16:47,620
so that I can arrange
a-a sit down with her.
356
00:16:47,724 --> 00:16:50,758
I don't have her personal
contact information.
357
00:16:50,862 --> 00:16:52,724
Our publicist
set up the interview.
358
00:16:52,827 --> 00:16:55,689
Oh, okay. Just give me
their number and then I can-
359
00:16:55,793 --> 00:16:58,517
Anita, you still have Leslie's
360
00:16:58,620 --> 00:17:01,586
contact information
from WinterFest, don't you?
361
00:17:01,689 --> 00:17:05,068
-I do.
-Well, that's all I need.
362
00:17:05,172 --> 00:17:08,517
I'll pass your information
along to our publicist.
363
00:17:08,620 --> 00:17:12,137
Now, I'm not sure if
he's taking any new clients,
364
00:17:12,241 --> 00:17:15,517
but if he's not too busy,
he'll contact you.
365
00:17:16,586 --> 00:17:21,103
But Vern, I need
the presser to happen today.
366
00:17:21,206 --> 00:17:24,241
So wish we could do more.
367
00:17:26,068 --> 00:17:28,689
Hm.
I understand.
368
00:17:28,793 --> 00:17:30,931
The mighty Duprees
369
00:17:31,034 --> 00:17:34,620
don't want me infringing
on their moment in the sun.
370
00:17:34,724 --> 00:17:36,034
Fine.
371
00:17:38,517 --> 00:17:40,620
I will find another way.
372
00:17:44,413 --> 00:17:46,586
You can tell
the ladies who lunch
373
00:17:46,689 --> 00:17:50,413
that although
Anita Dupree may have cancer,
374
00:17:50,517 --> 00:17:56,068
she is still a spotlight-hogger,
as always.
375
00:17:56,172 --> 00:17:58,000
A big one.
376
00:17:58,213 --> 00:18:00,723
KAT:
That spawn of Satan
377
00:18:00,724 --> 00:18:02,413
is making herself at home
378
00:18:02,517 --> 00:18:04,137
in Fairmont Crest.
379
00:18:04,241 --> 00:18:06,711
She's building a monstrosity
across the street
380
00:18:06,793 --> 00:18:10,793
from my Gran's.
She's bribing the country club
381
00:18:10,794 --> 00:18:13,102
with a brand-new sports complex,
and she's trying
382
00:18:13,103 --> 00:18:17,206
to rehab her image
by funding a free clinic.
383
00:18:17,310 --> 00:18:19,724
All with the money
my grandmother
384
00:18:19,827 --> 00:18:21,551
put into a blind trust.
385
00:18:21,655 --> 00:18:23,620
Mother's intentions were noble.
386
00:18:23,724 --> 00:18:26,310
She wanted to take care
of Barbara's family.
387
00:18:26,413 --> 00:18:29,793
Unfortunately, Leslie turned
out to be the beneficiary.
388
00:18:29,794 --> 00:18:31,274
At least with the free clinic,
389
00:18:31,275 --> 00:18:32,792
she's putting the money
to good use.
390
00:18:32,793 --> 00:18:35,827
I thought Leslie would be
in solitary confinement by now,
391
00:18:35,931 --> 00:18:38,310
not high society.
And it's not fair
392
00:18:38,413 --> 00:18:41,758
that you and Mom
have to constantly cross paths
393
00:18:41,862 --> 00:18:44,586
with the woman
who wrecked your lives.
394
00:18:44,689 --> 00:18:48,068
Or that her
fantasy book-reading,
395
00:18:48,172 --> 00:18:50,862
ugly boot-wearing co-conspirator
396
00:18:50,965 --> 00:18:52,586
has also been forgiven.
397
00:18:52,689 --> 00:18:55,586
I think Eva has a lot
of remorse for the part
398
00:18:55,689 --> 00:18:57,241
she played in Leslie's scheme.
399
00:18:57,344 --> 00:18:59,551
She was lied to
just like the rest of us.
400
00:18:59,655 --> 00:19:03,310
Please stop defending her.
401
00:19:03,413 --> 00:19:06,655
Laura almost died
because of those two.
402
00:19:07,620 --> 00:19:08,827
I won't forgive
403
00:19:08,931 --> 00:19:12,103
and I will never forget.
404
00:19:17,310 --> 00:19:18,655
Ah. This is a sweet one.
405
00:19:18,758 --> 00:19:21,241
"How does this woman
maintain such grace
406
00:19:21,344 --> 00:19:24,448
and beauty while announcing
a cancer diagnosis?"
407
00:19:24,551 --> 00:19:26,275
These are great so far.
408
00:19:26,379 --> 00:19:28,489
I'm glad the trolls
haven't popped up yet.
409
00:19:30,413 --> 00:19:31,862
You spoke too soon.
410
00:19:31,965 --> 00:19:33,206
Yeah.
411
00:19:33,310 --> 00:19:35,724
-Excuse me.
-Behave.
412
00:19:35,827 --> 00:19:38,724
Why are you lurking
outside my door?
413
00:19:38,725 --> 00:19:40,481
Well, I would have
knocked at the front,
414
00:19:40,482 --> 00:19:42,240
but I thought
a surprise appearance
415
00:19:42,241 --> 00:19:43,655
would get me in faster.
416
00:19:43,758 --> 00:19:45,655
You were wrong.
417
00:19:48,896 --> 00:19:50,586
Surprise.
418
00:19:50,689 --> 00:19:52,655
Okay. Uhp.
419
00:19:52,758 --> 00:19:54,448
Ooh, la, la.
420
00:19:54,551 --> 00:19:57,021
I am going to hit you up
for your decorator's name
421
00:19:57,034 --> 00:19:58,793
when my place is finished.
422
00:19:58,896 --> 00:20:00,448
Why are you here?
423
00:20:00,551 --> 00:20:03,241
Oh, I saw your livestream
when you announced
424
00:20:03,344 --> 00:20:05,068
your return to modeling.
425
00:20:05,069 --> 00:20:06,171
And?
426
00:20:06,172 --> 00:20:09,172
And I have
some big news of my own,
427
00:20:09,275 --> 00:20:12,551
so I want to utilize your
resources to get the word out.
428
00:20:12,655 --> 00:20:14,241
You're modeling?
429
00:20:14,344 --> 00:20:18,068
Oh, I am flattered
that the Dani Dupree
430
00:20:18,172 --> 00:20:21,172
thinks I actually have
what it takes to be a model.
431
00:20:21,275 --> 00:20:23,620
I don't. Unless Tatum
has a deranged line,
432
00:20:23,621 --> 00:20:24,792
then you'd be perfect.
433
00:20:24,793 --> 00:20:26,413
Hm. Yes.
434
00:20:26,517 --> 00:20:29,931
Well, I am the new face
of benevolence.
435
00:20:30,034 --> 00:20:32,068
DANI:
Oh, God.
436
00:20:32,172 --> 00:20:33,862
-Sorry.
-I am opening a new
437
00:20:33,965 --> 00:20:36,137
free clinic, okay?
438
00:20:36,241 --> 00:20:37,291
And I need you
439
00:20:37,292 --> 00:20:39,136
to put me in touch
with your reporters,
440
00:20:39,137 --> 00:20:41,171
the ones
who covered your announcement.
441
00:20:41,172 --> 00:20:44,689
Why would fashion reporters
be interested in a free clinic?
442
00:20:44,793 --> 00:20:46,206
News is news, honey.
443
00:20:46,310 --> 00:20:47,689
On what planet, Leslie?
444
00:20:47,793 --> 00:20:50,068
Okay, listen,
you don't want to give me
445
00:20:50,172 --> 00:20:52,448
your contact information?
That's fine.
446
00:20:52,551 --> 00:20:56,931
At least give me
a Tatum original to wear, hmm?
447
00:20:57,034 --> 00:20:59,689
Girl, please hop on
your broomstick and fly away.
448
00:20:59,793 --> 00:21:01,689
-Oh...
-Okay, you heard her. Come on.
449
00:21:01,690 --> 00:21:03,550
All right, I'm leaving.
I'm leaving, but...
450
00:21:03,551 --> 00:21:06,586
Ooh, I have a proposition
for this chocolate morsel.
451
00:21:06,689 --> 00:21:09,034
-Be my videographer.
-Out.
452
00:21:09,035 --> 00:21:10,309
-Okay, All right.
-Out. Come on.
453
00:21:10,310 --> 00:21:12,067
All right,
I will take that as a maybe.
454
00:21:12,068 --> 00:21:13,310
Hey, hey. Don't get rough.
455
00:21:13,311 --> 00:21:15,309
All right, but listen.
I'll be at Orphey Gene's,
456
00:21:15,310 --> 00:21:17,862
so if you decide
to take the job, then...
457
00:21:17,965 --> 00:21:20,793
-Mm. Got you.
-It's for a good cause.
458
00:21:20,896 --> 00:21:22,310
Goodbye.
459
00:21:24,724 --> 00:21:26,241
Hi, Eva.
460
00:21:28,068 --> 00:21:29,379
Laura.
461
00:21:29,482 --> 00:21:30,655
Hey.
462
00:21:32,344 --> 00:21:34,172
Um, want to sit?
463
00:21:34,275 --> 00:21:35,379
Sure.
464
00:21:37,379 --> 00:21:38,459
What are you reading?
465
00:21:39,379 --> 00:21:43,413
Um, Octavia E. Butler.
Parable of the Sower.
466
00:21:43,517 --> 00:21:45,172
Read it?
467
00:21:45,275 --> 00:21:46,758
No.
468
00:21:46,862 --> 00:21:48,275
Good?
469
00:21:48,276 --> 00:21:51,999
It's like reading about
the times we're living in,
470
00:21:52,000 --> 00:21:54,000
but written, like, 30 years ago.
471
00:21:54,103 --> 00:21:55,724
Yeah, she was prophetic.
472
00:21:56,931 --> 00:21:59,655
Speaking of the past,
it's been a year
473
00:21:59,758 --> 00:22:01,068
since my accident.
474
00:22:02,965 --> 00:22:05,137
And me filling in
for you at Nicole's.
475
00:22:05,811 --> 00:22:09,378
We don't have
to rehash everything.
476
00:22:09,379 --> 00:22:13,413
We've talked about it, and
I'm in a much better place now.
477
00:22:14,413 --> 00:22:16,275
Thanks for saying that.
478
00:22:16,379 --> 00:22:19,931
Because if anybody
has a right to hold a grudge...
479
00:22:20,034 --> 00:22:21,551
Some people still do.
480
00:22:21,655 --> 00:22:23,000
Kat?
481
00:22:23,103 --> 00:22:25,965
I try not to give energy
to negative thoughts.
482
00:22:26,068 --> 00:22:29,000
I have chosen to focus
on the positives, like how
483
00:22:29,001 --> 00:22:31,378
you taught me that new
system which made my life
484
00:22:31,379 --> 00:22:33,206
so much easier at work,
485
00:22:33,310 --> 00:22:36,103
how I got to help Mrs. Dupree
with WinterFest
486
00:22:36,206 --> 00:22:39,344
and some personal matters,
487
00:22:39,448 --> 00:22:42,931
and how you have
a relationship with Ted now.
488
00:22:43,034 --> 00:22:45,344
I know how important
that is for you.
489
00:22:46,517 --> 00:22:50,068
Wow. I don't even
know what to say.
490
00:22:50,069 --> 00:22:51,619
You could
be spitting in my face,
491
00:22:51,620 --> 00:22:54,137
but instead you're happy for me?
492
00:22:55,827 --> 00:22:57,448
You're pretty amazing, Laura.
493
00:22:59,827 --> 00:23:03,000
But I should warn you,
my mom will be back any minute.
494
00:23:04,034 --> 00:23:05,517
Another positive?
495
00:23:05,620 --> 00:23:07,430
I've learned
to stand up for myself
496
00:23:07,482 --> 00:23:09,310
in every aspect of my life.
497
00:23:09,413 --> 00:23:12,172
I'm not gonna
shrink away from Leslie anymore.
498
00:23:12,275 --> 00:23:14,310
So, I'll be at the counter,
499
00:23:14,413 --> 00:23:16,241
enjoying my biscuits and gravy.
500
00:23:20,088 --> 00:23:23,930
You are just the face
I was in the mood for.
501
00:23:23,931 --> 00:23:25,758
Likewise.
502
00:23:25,862 --> 00:23:28,103
I saw your mother's interview
503
00:23:28,206 --> 00:23:30,793
and spoke to her afterwards.
504
00:23:30,896 --> 00:23:33,103
She is astonishing.
505
00:23:33,206 --> 00:23:35,620
Here she is,
dealing with her own crisis,
506
00:23:35,724 --> 00:23:39,172
but still has time
to comfort everyone else.
507
00:23:39,275 --> 00:23:43,206
One of her
amazing qualities. Strength.
508
00:23:43,310 --> 00:23:45,862
She has stores and stores of it.
509
00:23:45,965 --> 00:23:48,586
I spoke to her about the twins.
510
00:23:48,689 --> 00:23:52,206
Well, mostly Deanna,
and how I miss her so much.
511
00:23:52,310 --> 00:23:55,080
I thought we talked about
you giving her time and space.
512
00:23:55,103 --> 00:23:56,517
And I have been.
513
00:23:56,620 --> 00:24:00,758
But the sadness isn't
only her not being here.
514
00:24:00,862 --> 00:24:03,965
It's the terrible weight
none of us can seem to lift.
515
00:24:04,068 --> 00:24:05,413
Doug's passing.
516
00:24:05,517 --> 00:24:09,689
I know this is nowhere
near the same,
517
00:24:09,793 --> 00:24:12,103
but losing Ted
is like that for me.
518
00:24:13,413 --> 00:24:14,827
Grief is grief.
519
00:24:14,931 --> 00:24:17,517
Just when
I think I've turned a corner,
520
00:24:17,620 --> 00:24:19,448
something knocks me for a loop,
521
00:24:19,449 --> 00:24:21,412
and I realize
that I've only just turned
522
00:24:21,413 --> 00:24:23,379
a lighter shade of blue.
523
00:24:23,482 --> 00:24:26,862
When I hear a song
or encounter a fragrance...
524
00:24:26,965 --> 00:24:30,379
Mm, brings back memories
of a life you used to have.
525
00:24:30,482 --> 00:24:34,000
And then you go spiraling down
the rabbit hole of emotions.
526
00:24:34,001 --> 00:24:37,171
Neither one
of our marriages turned out
527
00:24:37,172 --> 00:24:38,672
to be the fairy tale we thought.
528
00:24:39,448 --> 00:24:43,034
We spent much of our lives
with Ted and Doug.
529
00:24:43,137 --> 00:24:44,187
It's normal.
530
00:24:45,206 --> 00:24:46,793
Anita taught me a saying
531
00:24:46,896 --> 00:24:48,758
to recite when I'm feeling down.
532
00:24:48,862 --> 00:24:52,379
I'm a true believer
in the wisdom of Anita,
533
00:24:52,482 --> 00:24:54,862
and I think the world
would be a better place
534
00:24:54,965 --> 00:24:57,137
if everyone listened to her.
535
00:24:59,310 --> 00:25:01,827
You won't believe
how many people
536
00:25:01,828 --> 00:25:04,033
and organizations
have reached out to me
537
00:25:04,034 --> 00:25:05,862
since the interview aired.
538
00:25:05,965 --> 00:25:09,068
My "army" is
breaking the Internet
539
00:25:09,172 --> 00:25:11,448
with responses and donations.
540
00:25:11,551 --> 00:25:15,137
"Anita's Army."
That has quite a ring to it.
541
00:25:15,241 --> 00:25:17,344
And did I tell you?
Tracy and Sharon
542
00:25:17,448 --> 00:25:19,738
have arranged to have
a mobile mammogram bus
543
00:25:19,793 --> 00:25:22,206
in the parking lot
at one of their concerts.
544
00:25:22,310 --> 00:25:25,034
Every woman who is screened
gets a free ticket.
545
00:25:25,137 --> 00:25:27,620
Now that's some incentive.
546
00:25:27,724 --> 00:25:30,655
And also,
the Dupree Heritage Foundation
547
00:25:30,758 --> 00:25:32,965
has unveiled this big,
548
00:25:33,068 --> 00:25:36,655
beautiful pink ribbon sculpture
in the office lobby.
549
00:25:36,758 --> 00:25:38,448
-Aw.
-And, you know,
550
00:25:38,551 --> 00:25:39,811
there's an organization
551
00:25:39,827 --> 00:25:43,310
that is blowing up socials
with the interview
552
00:25:43,413 --> 00:25:46,862
and including a link
for all kinds of resources
553
00:25:46,863 --> 00:25:49,412
for women who have been
impacted, and their families.
554
00:25:49,413 --> 00:25:54,206
So many people just don't
have the support system
555
00:25:54,310 --> 00:25:55,862
that you've been blessed with.
556
00:25:55,965 --> 00:25:57,275
That is so true.
557
00:25:58,241 --> 00:26:02,551
And Jackie Tyree is hosting
a show on the Vegas Strip
558
00:26:02,655 --> 00:26:05,034
to raise awareness
about early detection.
559
00:26:05,137 --> 00:26:08,241
Between the interview
560
00:26:08,344 --> 00:26:10,862
and the promotion
surrounding it,
561
00:26:10,965 --> 00:26:12,724
you have drummed up more support
562
00:26:12,827 --> 00:26:16,103
than I ever could have
thought you would.
563
00:26:16,206 --> 00:26:17,965
And I am not
taking it for granted.
564
00:26:18,068 --> 00:26:20,827
And, Vernon, I want you
to hold my feet to the fire.
565
00:26:20,931 --> 00:26:21,981
I have to be
566
00:26:22,034 --> 00:26:24,689
diligent and not lose momentum.
567
00:26:24,793 --> 00:26:27,931
I want to save
as many lives as possible.
568
00:26:28,034 --> 00:26:30,827
I don't doubt
that you'll do just that.
569
00:26:33,532 --> 00:26:37,826
Can we circle back to
Anita's interview for a second?
570
00:26:37,827 --> 00:26:38,896
Do we have to?
571
00:26:39,000 --> 00:26:41,275
It was so inspirational to me.
572
00:26:41,379 --> 00:26:43,655
And it can be for you, too.
573
00:26:43,656 --> 00:26:45,136
And before you shoot me down,
574
00:26:45,137 --> 00:26:46,792
please, can you just
hear me out about
575
00:26:46,793 --> 00:26:49,683
why I am pushing you so hard
to be honest with your family?
576
00:26:49,724 --> 00:26:51,068
I'm listening.
577
00:26:51,172 --> 00:26:53,241
Okay.
578
00:26:53,344 --> 00:26:55,754
I know that you think
that you are offering them
579
00:26:55,827 --> 00:26:58,689
some kindness
by keeping quiet, right?
580
00:26:59,689 --> 00:27:00,931
All you're really doing
581
00:27:00,932 --> 00:27:02,861
is keeping the people
who care about you
582
00:27:02,862 --> 00:27:04,586
from having the chance
583
00:27:04,689 --> 00:27:06,896
to surround you
with love and support.
584
00:27:07,000 --> 00:27:09,110
My family's dealing
with a lot right now,
585
00:27:09,137 --> 00:27:11,413
and I don't want to add
more pain and stress
586
00:27:11,517 --> 00:27:12,758
and worry to their lives.
587
00:27:12,759 --> 00:27:14,412
And-and telling them the truth
588
00:27:14,413 --> 00:27:16,758
changes nothing.
I will still be a carrier.
589
00:27:16,862 --> 00:27:17,931
If you continue
590
00:27:17,932 --> 00:27:20,136
to keep your genetic results
under wraps
591
00:27:20,137 --> 00:27:22,427
from your family-
who are bound to talk to you
592
00:27:22,517 --> 00:27:25,275
about Anita's cancer,
by the way-
593
00:27:25,276 --> 00:27:26,585
you're-you're gonna
reach a tipping point.
594
00:27:26,586 --> 00:27:27,724
You're gonna blow up
595
00:27:27,827 --> 00:27:29,655
like you did today.
596
00:27:29,758 --> 00:27:31,517
It's not like
I don't see the logic
597
00:27:31,620 --> 00:27:34,620
-of what you're saying, but-
-But you're tough.
598
00:27:34,724 --> 00:27:37,551
And you're independent.
599
00:27:37,655 --> 00:27:39,413
And you've got your pride.
600
00:27:40,862 --> 00:27:42,862
You're also a Dupree.
601
00:27:42,965 --> 00:27:45,827
And they are the gold standard
602
00:27:45,828 --> 00:27:47,343
when it comes
to supporting each other.
603
00:27:47,344 --> 00:27:50,000
Naomi, you have to
take advantage of that.
604
00:27:52,344 --> 00:27:53,394
Okay.
605
00:27:55,413 --> 00:27:58,862
Okay, Ashley, I will
consider all of my options.
606
00:27:58,965 --> 00:28:00,931
Okay?
607
00:28:01,034 --> 00:28:02,103
Good.
608
00:28:03,241 --> 00:28:04,620
And know this.
609
00:28:06,482 --> 00:28:07,827
Whatever you decide...
610
00:28:10,034 --> 00:28:12,827
...I'm always gonna
be here for you, okay?
611
00:28:12,931 --> 00:28:13,981
I know.
612
00:28:15,551 --> 00:28:17,448
Even when you get snippy.
613
00:28:19,137 --> 00:28:21,241
-I'm sorry.
-It's okay.
614
00:28:23,551 --> 00:28:25,965
Martin is on
the campaign trail as we speak,
615
00:28:26,068 --> 00:28:27,818
shaking hands
and kissing babies.
616
00:28:27,862 --> 00:28:29,137
Mm, bless him.
617
00:28:29,138 --> 00:28:30,240
There are several
618
00:28:30,241 --> 00:28:31,621
things I'd do for business,
619
00:28:31,689 --> 00:28:34,689
but kissing other people's
blubbering tots is not one.
620
00:28:34,690 --> 00:28:37,205
Let's sit.
Please, help yourselves.
621
00:28:37,206 --> 00:28:38,896
Oh, yeah, great.
622
00:28:39,000 --> 00:28:41,724
I am so happy
that you two had the idea
623
00:28:41,827 --> 00:28:45,379
to have Donnell escort
Samantha at the cotillion.
624
00:28:45,482 --> 00:28:47,482
Is my grandbaby excited?
625
00:28:47,586 --> 00:28:51,586
She went from total despair
to walking on air overnight.
626
00:28:51,689 --> 00:28:54,448
Donnell is well versed
in all things cotillion.
627
00:28:54,551 --> 00:28:56,413
He's been
an escort several times
628
00:28:56,517 --> 00:28:59,793
and he lived through
all the prep for Deanna's debut.
629
00:28:59,794 --> 00:29:02,447
As you know, that schedule's
not for the faint of heart.
630
00:29:02,448 --> 00:29:04,689
Actually, I was a total novice.
631
00:29:04,793 --> 00:29:05,933
I didn't know anything
632
00:29:06,034 --> 00:29:08,793
about the tradition.
Nicole had to school me
633
00:29:08,896 --> 00:29:11,000
on the historical significance.
634
00:29:11,103 --> 00:29:13,758
Again, thank you
for saving the day.
635
00:29:15,517 --> 00:29:17,896
But you are concerned.
636
00:29:19,551 --> 00:29:20,931
Only a little bit.
637
00:29:22,310 --> 00:29:23,655
Forgive me while I put my
638
00:29:23,758 --> 00:29:25,724
"protective dad" hat on.
639
00:29:25,725 --> 00:29:28,516
Martin and I just
want to have a sit-down
640
00:29:28,517 --> 00:29:31,206
with Donnell before the big day.
641
00:29:31,310 --> 00:29:33,793
We know that you and Doug
642
00:29:33,896 --> 00:29:36,724
raised a great kid.
643
00:29:36,827 --> 00:29:39,172
It's just kind of a dad thing
that we need to do.
644
00:29:39,275 --> 00:29:41,586
I completely understand.
645
00:29:41,689 --> 00:29:44,241
Smitty, I love how present
you and Martin are
646
00:29:44,344 --> 00:29:46,413
in Samantha and Tyrell's lives.
647
00:29:46,517 --> 00:29:50,068
My grandchildren
have the best role models.
648
00:29:50,172 --> 00:29:53,103
Not every kid is that fortunate.
649
00:29:53,206 --> 00:29:55,413
Where is my audience?
650
00:29:55,517 --> 00:29:57,551
Mama, I tried
to get some bodies,
651
00:29:57,655 --> 00:29:59,206
but it was a hard sell.
652
00:29:59,310 --> 00:30:01,379
Did you find a media outlet?
653
00:30:01,482 --> 00:30:04,034
No. I mean,
the haters don't want me
654
00:30:04,137 --> 00:30:06,724
to upstage Queen Anita.
655
00:30:06,827 --> 00:30:09,482
And, you know what,
we're just gonna have to
656
00:30:09,586 --> 00:30:11,724
do this ourselves
and get the message out
657
00:30:11,827 --> 00:30:13,862
to the masses, honey. Okay?
658
00:30:13,965 --> 00:30:16,758
So, listen,
I will do the livestream,
659
00:30:16,862 --> 00:30:18,672
and you will be
the camera operator.
660
00:30:18,689 --> 00:30:20,413
Hm? Here.
661
00:30:20,517 --> 00:30:24,275
You do know that you don't
have very many followers,
662
00:30:24,379 --> 00:30:26,172
-right?
-Yeah. You do know
663
00:30:26,275 --> 00:30:28,275
I'm not worried about that?
664
00:30:28,379 --> 00:30:30,689
All right?
If you livestream it,
665
00:30:30,793 --> 00:30:32,862
they will come.
666
00:30:32,965 --> 00:30:36,068
I think we should wait
until we find a professional
667
00:30:36,172 --> 00:30:37,758
who has the right equipment.
668
00:30:37,862 --> 00:30:39,275
Nope.
669
00:30:39,379 --> 00:30:41,000
I'm not waiting.
670
00:30:41,103 --> 00:30:43,827
And this phone
is going to do just fine.
671
00:30:43,931 --> 00:30:47,655
Uh, okay. Well, can we at
least do a rehearsal?
672
00:30:47,758 --> 00:30:49,655
What?
673
00:30:49,758 --> 00:30:53,379
Whose child are you?
Fine. Fine, fine, fine.
674
00:30:53,482 --> 00:30:56,103
Okay.
675
00:30:56,206 --> 00:30:58,482
Five, four, three,
676
00:30:58,586 --> 00:31:00,310
two...
[mouths]
677
00:31:00,413 --> 00:31:05,413
Hi, I'm Leslie Thomas,
a creative entrepreneur
678
00:31:05,517 --> 00:31:09,275
and pillar of the community.
679
00:31:09,379 --> 00:31:13,344
And, yes,
I am here at Orphey Gene's,
680
00:31:13,448 --> 00:31:14,498
the restaurant
681
00:31:14,517 --> 00:31:16,482
for the people.
682
00:31:17,724 --> 00:31:20,862
Clearly, the walk and talk
thing is not gonna work.
683
00:31:20,965 --> 00:31:24,586
Okay, fine. I'll tell you what,
we're going to stand right here.
684
00:31:24,689 --> 00:31:27,172
I will plant myself
and we will do it here.
685
00:31:27,275 --> 00:31:30,034
All right? Let's go.
686
00:31:32,620 --> 00:31:36,000
I'm Leslie Thomas,
creative entrepreneur
687
00:31:36,103 --> 00:31:38,827
and pillar for the community.
688
00:31:38,931 --> 00:31:42,586
Now, I have built
my own health clinic,
689
00:31:42,689 --> 00:31:44,724
a free health clinic.
690
00:31:44,827 --> 00:31:49,034
It's called the Phoenix Street
Free Health Clinic.
691
00:31:49,035 --> 00:31:51,274
Should have been
called the Leslie Thomas
692
00:31:51,275 --> 00:31:53,068
Free Health Clinic.
693
00:31:53,172 --> 00:31:56,758
That's what I wanted.
But, you know, c'est la vie.
694
00:31:56,862 --> 00:31:59,310
Oh, my God, did we have
the same idea?
695
00:31:59,413 --> 00:32:00,965
Comfort food?
696
00:32:01,068 --> 00:32:03,517
You might want
to hit up a different spot.
697
00:32:03,620 --> 00:32:06,931
When you're making
a difference on the scale I am,
698
00:32:07,034 --> 00:32:09,137
it deserves to be seen.
699
00:32:09,241 --> 00:32:12,862
They're... livestreaming?
Right now?
700
00:32:12,965 --> 00:32:15,724
As far as I know. They had
a few disastrous rehearsals,
701
00:32:15,827 --> 00:32:18,482
but so far,
this take is drama-free.
702
00:32:18,586 --> 00:32:20,620
I am over it, though.
703
00:32:20,724 --> 00:32:22,862
-See you later?
-Mm, bye.
704
00:32:22,965 --> 00:32:25,310
LESLIE:
State-of-the-art equipment
705
00:32:25,413 --> 00:32:28,517
all made available
to a deserving community
706
00:32:28,620 --> 00:32:30,896
through my largess.
707
00:32:31,000 --> 00:32:33,586
This isn't charity, darlings.
708
00:32:33,689 --> 00:32:36,310
This is legacy.
709
00:32:39,677 --> 00:32:44,619
Damn, we were so cozy
before Hurricane Leslie hit.
710
00:32:44,620 --> 00:32:46,000
Mm.
711
00:32:46,103 --> 00:32:49,482
Hope we don't have any
other unexpected visitors today.
712
00:32:49,586 --> 00:32:51,137
For real.
713
00:32:51,241 --> 00:32:54,724
But let's not let her turn us
totally against unexpected.
714
00:32:54,827 --> 00:32:56,241
-Sometimes...
-Hm?
715
00:32:56,344 --> 00:32:58,310
surprises can be a blessing.
716
00:32:58,413 --> 00:33:00,172
What do you mean?
717
00:33:00,173 --> 00:33:03,378
Do you know the full story
of how my parents met?
718
00:33:03,379 --> 00:33:05,827
-Mm-mmm.
-So, my mother's manager,
719
00:33:05,931 --> 00:33:07,379
-Dante Greene,
-Mm-hmm.
720
00:33:07,482 --> 00:33:10,827
sends the Articulettes
to a march in Washington.
721
00:33:10,931 --> 00:33:15,413
My mother was exhausted
from a tour, didn't want to go.
722
00:33:15,517 --> 00:33:18,655
-But that choice...
-Mm-hmm?
723
00:33:18,656 --> 00:33:20,481
...I mean, it changed the
whole trajectory of her life.
724
00:33:20,482 --> 00:33:23,862
She had no idea that she would
meet her one true love.
725
00:33:23,965 --> 00:33:27,103
And together,
they've weathered every storm
726
00:33:27,206 --> 00:33:30,172
-and built a lasting legacy.
-Mm.
727
00:33:30,173 --> 00:33:31,895
They've always been
such a good example.
728
00:33:31,896 --> 00:33:33,724
I'm hearing a "but."
729
00:33:34,689 --> 00:33:36,965
Is there a "but" coming?
730
00:33:36,966 --> 00:33:39,102
I sometimes wonder
if I've fallen short
731
00:33:39,103 --> 00:33:40,172
with my kids.
732
00:33:40,275 --> 00:33:42,275
Whoa, come on.
733
00:33:42,276 --> 00:33:43,412
No, no, no.
734
00:33:43,413 --> 00:33:45,103
How can you say that, Dani?
735
00:33:45,104 --> 00:33:46,930
They're both successful
in their lives
736
00:33:46,931 --> 00:33:48,412
and in their
personal relationships.
737
00:33:48,413 --> 00:33:50,689
What have they learned
from watching me?
738
00:33:52,206 --> 00:33:54,413
To live their dreams.
739
00:33:54,517 --> 00:33:57,137
To live out loud,
speak their minds.
740
00:33:57,138 --> 00:33:59,412
And most importantly,
your daughters have learned
741
00:33:59,413 --> 00:34:01,758
not to take crap from anybody.
742
00:34:01,759 --> 00:34:02,861
You're damn straight.
743
00:34:02,862 --> 00:34:04,862
Damn straight.
744
00:34:04,965 --> 00:34:06,344
And if you ask me...
745
00:34:07,758 --> 00:34:10,379
...I think that's
one hell of a legacy.
746
00:34:14,034 --> 00:34:15,827
Anita Dupree,
747
00:34:15,931 --> 00:34:19,620
here you are,
in the battle of your life,
748
00:34:19,724 --> 00:34:22,827
and you're still
speaking your truth.
749
00:34:22,931 --> 00:34:24,448
You know me.
750
00:34:24,551 --> 00:34:27,172
I don't feel like
I had any choice.
751
00:34:27,275 --> 00:34:30,517
Oh, you could have chosen
not to let people see you
752
00:34:30,620 --> 00:34:33,206
at your most vulnerable, but
753
00:34:33,310 --> 00:34:36,448
you sided with
something sacred in yourself.
754
00:34:37,551 --> 00:34:41,517
And you are my example
and my inspiration.
755
00:34:42,517 --> 00:34:46,275
Having you by my side
brings me such peace.
756
00:34:46,379 --> 00:34:49,379
You have loved me so deeply
757
00:34:49,482 --> 00:34:52,586
and so consistently
throughout our entire marriage.
758
00:34:52,689 --> 00:34:55,448
And I never intend to stop.
759
00:34:56,551 --> 00:34:58,103
Our love is unbreakable.
760
00:34:59,103 --> 00:35:01,586
Much like your spirit.
761
00:35:01,689 --> 00:35:04,172
Hey, to you, Anita.
762
00:35:05,689 --> 00:35:09,275
And your wildly
and successful interview.
763
00:35:11,793 --> 00:35:13,965
You see,
as a pillar of the community,
764
00:35:14,068 --> 00:35:17,689
you should be as generous
as you are smart,
765
00:35:17,793 --> 00:35:20,586
as selfless as you are clever,
766
00:35:20,689 --> 00:35:24,068
and as bold
as you are beautiful.
767
00:35:25,310 --> 00:35:29,448
This pillar of the community
is a homicidal homewrecker
768
00:35:29,551 --> 00:35:32,000
who tried
to murder someone twice.
769
00:35:32,103 --> 00:35:36,206
Turn that phone back around
so I can defend myself against
770
00:35:36,310 --> 00:35:38,482
these outrageous allegations.
771
00:35:38,586 --> 00:35:41,137
Well, we weren't actually live.
772
00:35:41,241 --> 00:35:42,896
I decided to record
773
00:35:43,000 --> 00:35:45,275
the announcement
so we can edit it
774
00:35:45,379 --> 00:35:47,482
and release it later.
775
00:35:47,586 --> 00:35:50,413
Good looking out
for your mama, baby girl.
776
00:35:53,620 --> 00:35:56,586
You need to clip your claws,
Kit-Kat brat,
777
00:35:56,689 --> 00:36:00,482
'cause your little tantrum
won't be televised today.
778
00:36:01,551 --> 00:36:05,206
I swear, I will find a way
to expose you
779
00:36:05,310 --> 00:36:07,586
for the murderous snake you are.
780
00:36:08,655 --> 00:36:10,965
I will make you pay
for what you did
781
00:36:11,068 --> 00:36:14,310
to my mother and Laura
if it's the last thing I do.
