Well, look at that.

The world did not tilt off its axis

while we were loving it up in the Bowman

for two blissful nights.

When did we stop dipping out
for our rendezvous?

When the girls left the nest

and we naively thought that it was ours.

Remember Emerson?

How could I forget?

We told the girls that we had to
visit your cousin Emerson

for a few days when, really,

- we were down...
- Renting that room down by the bay.

Those stays were always for three days.

What, are you saying we're slipping?

Well, I'm thinking that
maybe we should go back

to that room and defend our record.

Or we could resume upstairs.

Resume, hm?

Oh, you're talking with your hands now.

Ahem.

- Nicole.
- Nicole.

I went upstairs looking for you.

Well, now you found us.

You do know that the elevator
isn't soundproof.

Please, don't tell me
that you're blushing, too.

I expected that from Kat and Martin

when they walked in on us,
but you certainly know that,

- were it not for your father and I getting...
- Ah.

I get the gist.

I am just as sex-positive
as your next daughter.

Except, just to confirm,

we don't have a cousin Emerson at all?

Now you know, my darling girl.

Well, so much for all those
lectures about truth telling.

Baby, your presence here is proof

that our little subterfuge was warranted.

How is it that we couldn't get
any privacy back then,

and now, umpteen years later,
we still can't?

You don't want to move your rook there.

Are you letting me win?

Maybe at first,
but now I'm all out of moves.

It's a queen's board.

She's just allowing me to play

until she picks up and moves to UCLA.

Seriously?

Why are you being like this, Tyrell?

I mean, you know how much...

Oh, yes, this lighting

is so much better.

- Kat, try some test shots.
- Mm-hmm.

[indistinct chatter]

So, does it feel any different
being Platinum Deb?

Hey ChelseaKat Fam.

To answer your question, yes and no,

and I'm still your girl.

But you have got to see this crown.

Uh, we should take the glam
down a notch.

- Uh, but I get to still wear the crown, right?
- Blot.

Mm-hmm.

Any other notes?

- Uh, maybe seated this time.
- Mm-hmm. All right.

Ooh, from above is so trending.

Let's see. Let's see.

Mm, a little more to your right.

- More.
- Mm-hmm.

- Yes.
- CHELSEA: Yeah, just get that out the way.

You know, that's still not right.

Just a little bit more to your right.

[chatter continuing]

Uh, Smitty, would you mind?

Okay, you know what?

Everyone out.

??

Auntie.

Oh, or should I say chief of all aunties?

- Oh, you were born listening.
- Ted told me that one.

If he's close enough to give you
the tea, then that means you...

Ah-ah. Nah. You do not get
to ask me any of my business

until you tell me yours.

So, is my favorite aunt
about to be my boss?

Okay, sign this and this.

Look, we are booking blephs
like crazy since

a certain gymnast
went viral going off about

how much she loved hers.

Look, a year ago, I didn't
even know those little folds

around your eyes even had a name,

or that people paid to get rid of them.

Eva, slow down.
I signed that one with my phone.

Where's your usual chill self?

Sorry I'm bringing chaos.

I've just been more clinic than R&F lately,

and I guess it's showing.

Okay, don't let your mother

try and creep and take
your hours one at a time

so you're full-time,
and now you have no time

with Carlton and me.

I'm the one pressing.

Look, Derek had the clinic
running like a machine.

I can't let him down, Dad.

I have a deadline and
I can't even hear myself think.

Let's go for a classic selfie.

Come on, babe.

JESSICA: Okay, well, what
if the queen and the knight

were equally free
to roam around the board?

- TYRELL: They aren't.
- All right.

JESSICA: Well, the least
they can do is enjoy the game.

I'll call you back.

Dad's right. Pack it up.

Let's relocate.
Someplace with better lighting.

Bye, brother-in-law.

SAMANTHA: Good luck, Dad.

SMITTY: Uh, Tyrell.

TYRELL: We'll keep the door open.

If you're upstairs, I'm gonna be
thinking about parenting.

Okay.

Uh...

- Happy now?
- The beauty of the mobile phone

- is it's mobile.
- Uh...

You're lucky I have plans on tap.

You got this.

Love you.

I am beyond flattered that the Duprees

put my name forward,

but I'm perfectly set in Texas.

You're entertaining the offer.

Ah, the idea of righting
the ship does appeal.

Yeah, and we would finally
get to be the "auntie doctor"

"niecey nursey" duo up in here.

I'm always gonna find a way
to have more Shanice.

It's-it's just...

Picking up my roots, that's a tough call.

Leaving my current patients
and not seeing new ones.

Who says you have to give them up?

You are in high demand.

I mean, your current contract
allows you to consult

all over and spread your skills all around.

Why couldn't you have something
like that with Garland?

Negotiate. You taught me that.

Well, at any other time, maybe,

but the new chief is gonna have to spend

all of their energy and focus

on cleaning up Garland's PR crisis.

Well, If anyone's up to
the task, I'd say it's you, doc.

Sorry to interrupt your morning.

I am going to scoot so that
you don't have to invent

another imaginary cousin.

Stay. We'd like to catch you up
on some things.

Is it a health update?

Oh, I'm fine. It's the hospital
that needs our help.

The shame Lia has brought
to Garland is unconscionable.

Which is why it's imperative
to replace her now.

You know I hate that Ted
tossed my name into the ring.

Bringing it up to the board
without even consulting me?

We put a stop to that immediately.

We know our girl far too well for that.

ANITA: I mean, you would
be an excellent chief of staff,

but that was never on your vision board.

- And we told Ted as much.
- Mm-hmm.

You shouldn't have had to.

I can't even believe, after
all of the years of marriage,

Ted still doesn't know me at all.

Okay, I am so not trying
to make this all about me.

It's just...

I never lost

anyone like this before.

Your stepdad?

Alan always kept me at arm's length,

so when he died,
I didn't really feel anything,

except for the space
where he wasn't there for me.

And Mama filled that in real
fast with all her spiraling.

I hate that for you.

It's Derek I feel sorry for.

- He was just starting to get into his groove.
- Mm.

And you know a little about that.

Why is this hitting me so hard?

Like, I sat down
at his desk yesterday, and

I almost cried over his pen.

- I'm being ridiculous.
- Baby, I can assure you,

firsthand, you are not.

I didn't think you knew Derek like that.

I wish I did. But I knew Doug, though.

- Oh, Dad.
- We met in med school, you know,

and after a while,
our wives became so close,

it just kind of sealed it.
We became extended family.

I mean, for his life to end like that...

I still feel the shock from it, you know?

And I still miss him.

What you're carrying for Derek is real.

He's lucky to have had you in his life

and that he matters to you.

Okay. This isn't
the daddy-daughter convo

I expected to have today.

Me finally cracking
over losing my new friend.

I missed way too many
moments with you.

I will take what I can get,

as heartbreaking as this is.

I'm really glad you're here.

I insist. No more R&F.

Uh, maybe a whole week.

The extra time would help.

I mean, the free clinic has become

a literal lifeline for the community so fast.

I have to make sure that nothing
slips through the cracks.

And you will make sure.

But I need you to listen to your dad here.

Grief is new to you.

For me, it is very familiar.

You remember what I told you
about my brother, right?

Plane crash.

Nicole and I had to focus
on keeping Andre together,

and she and the Duprees
did the same thing for me.

But I did find solace
in an unexpected place.

Bill.

No way.

Sorry. Sorry. Continue.

Bill lost a friend around
the same time, so we would,

you know, meet for beers
and trade stories

and just sit in our grief
as we stared at a dumb game.

And not having to explain

my feelings... it-it really helped with that.

And I want the same thing for you.

I am not watching football with Bill.

This town is full of people
who knew and loved Derek

and who can help fill in
those blanks about him

and you can share your hurt with.

Sometimes, the act of coming together

helps carry each other through.

I can't believe your dad kicked us out.

KAT: Honestly, respect.

Drowning out the world
and focusing on your path

is key when you have a dream like ours.

Take no prisoners.

Intense much?

Duprees go flat-out, always.

Well, speaking of
achievements unlocked,

we need the BTS on cotillion.

Why? You were there.

Yeah, but you haven't told us how it felt.

Like I was stumbling
into my worst day ever

until everything fell into place.

Deb Day miracle.

When you called my name,
I thought that I was gonna

have to escort myself into that curtsy.

You didn't know Donnell was there?

Thought he was gonna be a no-show.

And then Chessy stepped on my dress,

and then there he was,

sweeping in and saving me
like something out of a movie.

Oh, Naomi, it's good to see you.

Are you here for an appointment?

Look at you, already acting like the chief.

I just wrapped with a client.

How's Ashley? I-I've been texting,

but I know you've had
some actual face time.

Yeah. Our friend is in pieces,

so we really just have to
keep showing up for her.

- SHANICE: Yeah.
- Naomi, I want to give you and Jacob my condolences.

Shanice says that you and Jacob
were particularly close

to the young man who died.

Yeah. Uh, sorry. Past tense still stings.

- Oh, I am so sorry.
- Oh, no, no, no. It wasn't you.

It's just still very fresh.

But thank you for your kind words.

But what we really need is a new chief.

The thing that took Derek

had its tentacles in this place, too,

and, well, we can't get him back,

but we can restore Garland,

if we have someone as highly skilled

and trustworthy as you, Monica.

And I think I may have
found the sweetener

that'll make it all work.

Do I want to hear this?

Only commit to a year.

You get to perform your miracles here

while the board finds
a permanent replacement.

And meanwhile, you can
wear me down to make it forever.

That's genius.

Dr. Monica McCormick, palate cleanser.

And there are plenty of oncology
patients here in the DMV.

We'd all benefit from your expertise.

I mean, look how much
you've helped my grandmother.

- About Ted...
- Oh, ignore that detour.

We'll blame it on this
emotional wringer of a week.

You were saying about the hospital.

That we need a clean slate
over at Garland,

- and we have the perfect candidate.
- Mm-hmm.

Dr. Monica McCormick.

And we've already pitched it to her.

But she's not 100% on board yet.

Excellent choice.

And she's as far away
from this blood ring corruption

as you can get. She's beyond respected.

Mm-hmm. And enlisting an outsider

means the staff can trust

she had nothing to do with that ugliness.

And Monica has a... a way with people,

which I think can help.

I think I'll call Monica
right now, see if she can meet.

If she says no?

Your father has been known
to bend many to his will

over the years. I mean, certainly not me,

but a host of others.

My cheerleader.

You both seem lighter.

Now the big C isn't sucking
all the air out of the room,

but let's not replace one elephant

in the room for another.

It's time we had a Ted talk.

Did you arrange for Naomi
to drop by and puff me up?

No.

- But did it work?
- Points were made.

I particularly like the part
where I get to boss you.

Well, you do that anyway,

so you might as well get paid for it.

It's tough keeping an eye on you
and Ted in Texas.

I took your advice and

have taken down my walls.

Well, some of them.

Anyway, Ted and I are really good now.

Well, then my work is done.

You don't need me hovering.

There has never been a time
where I haven't needed you.

Mm-hmm. You think you might backslide

and let your pride get
in the way of your new love?

Couldn't hurt to have a backup.

This isn't you just being mushy.

You're missing your friend.

I know we are trained to lose people,

and we have to just deal.

Huh.

You don't treat this like it's the job.

It's Derek, honey.

He made some big old mistakes,

but protecting his heart
wasn't one of them.

I mean, he let it all hang out,

which sometimes got him in trouble.

But it also helped him brave
some pretty serious curve balls.

I just can't believe he didn't
make it past this one this time.

You could really use some extra TLC.

I'm not guilting, just

think about staying
for all the other reasons.

Ah.

You're early.

Am I benefiting
from a cancelled donor call?

Put me down for two fundraiser tickets,

by the way.

- It's already done.
- Mm-hmm.

But I did get bit of an assist getting here.

Did Mom ever kick you out of the house?

You know how
I ended up at Bowman, right?

Is this your roundabout way
of saying you and Smitty

are having problems again?

More like Smitty's in the throes
of his latest story.

Well, whenever your mother
saw a particular patient

with a sensitive issue at the home office,

I kept myself scarce.

Mom takes doctor-patient
confidentiality very seriously.

Well, Smitty's journalistic
integrity is just as important.

And it's good he has
an understanding husband.

Well, I'll tell you what I don't know.

What is up with your mom?

I'm just annoyed with Ted for interfering,

for whatever the reason.

I saw you making eyes
at each other at the cotillion.

It wasn't...

Okay, I will admit
he has been in my head lately.

And what sparked that?

Kat's birthday.

The plan was for us
not to be there together,

but that's the way it worked out.

Then?

Our non-anniversary, I went to his office,

you know, as a friendly step
towards being good exes.

And?

Samantha's cotillion.

Three pivotal moments

that we planned for years
to spend together, but now

we're both present, but so not together.

I thought I was mastering

this single woman life thing
like a boss, but...

You hear a piece of music
that belonged to the two of you.

You get mail with his name on it.

You see your beautiful granddaughter

cross the floor at her cotillion,

and you're not holding his hand
like you imagined it.

Yes. All of that.

Reconciling loss

is one of life's most difficult feats.

I'm not just waxing on
about what might have been.

There has been a tension
between us in the present.

Mm-hmm, sexual attention?

Mother, not everything is about sex.

Except in this case.

That's exactly what it's about, isn't it?

We want to talk about
you and your young man.

Why so formal? The deb ball is over.

You think we couldn't tell

that you were crushing on your escort?

As if.

But you know who Donnell
used to crush on?

You, coz.

What?

Oh, I had no idea.

Oh, my gosh, stop being flattered.

We need you to promise

to keep it in the friend zone with Donnell.

CHELSEA: Just put him
in the "save for later" cart.

Like, when you're shopping online

and you see something
you have no business buying

because you have nowhere
to wear it yet.

That's Donnell.

Future you and Donnell
might be a beautiful thing,

but for now, consider the halls
of your school your marketplace.

Stick to boys your own age.
It'll be a lot less messy.

It's your turn.

Okay, I am trying, here.

Just like I was in the car
when you only gave me

monosyllabic answers.

We can't change schools
for each other, Tyrell.

Just because I'm being realistic

doesn't mean I don't also hate it.

I don't want to be mad or sad.
I just want to be here with you.

I'm right in front of you.

When we first met,

I never thought we'd be like this.

I hoped.

But I never saw myself
teaching you anything,

let alone chess.

Well, we learned each other.
And what we learn, we carry.

I will carry you forever,
you know, not just the chess.

[knock on door]

[knock on door]

It's open.

[door opens, closes]

Hey.

Sorry. Um... deadline.

Please, come in.

Um, are Martin and the kids home?

They're out.

Good. This won't take long.

I was gonna call you.

The second I was done at the cotillion...

Jacob told me you were
the one to bring him

the plasma tip in the first place.

I hate what it cost, Naomi.

But Jacob was the only one
that could've infiltrated

the Red Market like that.

You're right.

You're not mad?

I'm conflicted.

Part of me wishes that Jacob
never put that hoodie on, and,

and none of this ever happened
because what was lost

what was lost can't be recovered.

Yeah, no one was supposed to get hurt.

All these months, I could feel
how much strain Jacob was under,

but he couldn't come to me
and give me any of the details.

But he could come clean with you.

He had Elon and the MPD, too.

You were his silent partner

and his friend

every scary step of the way.

And I'm grateful for that.

And for you.

It is such a relief to hear you say that.

You're sneaky, though.

All the drop-bys
and extra texts and lunches,

making sure I was participating
in Samantha's cotillion.

You were checking up on me
and keeping me busy because

you knew what I was going through.

And I wish I knew about you, too.

It was really hard to keep that from you.

You sure you forgive me?

Do I like it? No.

But I get it.

Sometimes, you have to

keep secrets to protect ourselves

and the ones we love the most.

- Hey, Shanice.
- Hey, Eva.

How are you holding up?

About Derek?

Basically thinking
about him every five minutes.

Same.

I was wondering if you can answer

some questions I had about him.

The ability to improvise
is a great quality in a chief.

Thank you for the compliment,
Senator, and your proposal.

It's, um, quite an ego boost.

Tell me that means you're ready
to discuss making the big move.

Yes, I have been having
intimate thoughts about Ted.

We always had an electric,
highly satisfying sex life.

But these fantasies...

- Okay, no need to elaborate.
- You asked.

So are you just going to wait

for these sexual musings to pass?

I thought we were in a good place

at Kat's birthday party
and even our anniversary.

But lately, Nicole has been
running colder and colder.

I mean, she's kicking me out
of conversations one minute,

the next minute, she can't
get away from me fast enough.

But at cotillion, for a split second,

she looked at me like she did
before we fell apart.

Hm. I did catch a vibe, but I chalked it up

because of all the love that was
flying around in the moment.

Hm.

I couldn't take it anymore.

I went to his office to confront him.

And were you gonna talk down
this fever or sweat it out?

Mother!

She came to my office
wanting to talk to me about

something that started around
the time of our anniversary.

I didn't know what I would say or do next,

but before I could find out,
Shanice was there.

Saved by the girlfriend.

Then Nicole took off, and I just...

I don't know what she was thinking.

I think it was a sign or a reminder.

Of?

That Ted and I are completely
and totally done.

I know your mother,
and when her walls go up,

scaling them could be
damn near impossible.

Maybe Mom's signals
mean there's an opening.

Or not.

Yeah, I don't know what
would be waiting for me there.

- Where does Shanice fit?
- We're-we're good,

a-after a few bumps.

Look, I just hate
to see you potentially lose

something that could be great

because you're chasing something
that may never be the same.

Did that crown heal you?
'Cause we can track down

that Belleclaire right now.

When Chessy stepped on my dress,
I stomped her right off.

Just like how you would've done
on the runway.

Yes, you did.

It was the lead-up to the ball
that really got to me.

I let Chessy and her snob squad
crawl into my head.

I wasn't Fairmont Crest or Dupree-born,

and deep down, I was afraid that I was

one mistake away from everybody

seeing that I wasn't a real Dupree.

You know, there's nothing
that you could do that night

or any other to make us think that.

Hey. You're our family.

There's no getting rid of us.

Once a Dupree, always a Dupree.

We belong to each other, forever.

Seeing all of the strong women,

the moms in our family

and mine look so proud

that was the real crown.

You've heard my spiel.

But I have one more thing
I'd like to add to the record.

Of course.

Monica

you have something
that you just can't fake.

Compassion.

When my wife was on the brink,

you might have made the difference

for her and our family.

- I'm so glad she's doing well.
- Mm.

That wonderful treatment

is not just reserved for the Duprees.

Scale that up
to what you can do for Garland,

and this hospital
will be healed and then some.

I-I'm honored, Senator, but
I have to stop you right there.

You've made-up your mind?

I think that Garland

could be the right fit.

Getting you to spill your Derek stories

was a big ask, but I'm glad you did.

Oh, he would've loved the attention.

The one about him using
a hockey stick as a crutch

is priceless.

Did I tell you we went on
a couple dates, too?

- No.
- Mm-hmm.

- Were there sparks?
- Well,

friendships have sparks, too.

I was missing him today, and
I didn't have a place to put it.

Mm.

Well, if you ever need
some Orphey Gene's pie

with a side of Derek talk, I'm your girl.

I don't want to spend
the rest of my life wondering.

I need to know what would've happened

if your mother had gotten her words out.

Yeah, but listen,

Mom's dance card is pretty full

with Dr. Plastic and Dr. Bones.

If you really want to see
where you fit in to Mom's

man landscape,

- you're gonna have to ask her yourself.
- Okay.

I had my answer at "man landscape."

I'm sorry. I didn't mean to be callous.

Tough love is what I needed
to make things clear.

No point in rehashing the past.

- How do you do it?
- What?

Be this adorable and hot
at the exact same time?

Damn, your learning curve is steep.

I was hoping I could
convince you to stay.

How can you go all the way to UCLA

when you can have this at home?

Did it work?

Well, if you do
that one thing you did again,

I might not be able to leave this room.

So yeah, college would definitely

just no longer be on tap.

Challenge accepted.

Permission to approach.

I just hit send on my first draft.

Are you happy with it?

I just want to do the story
and everybody in it justice.

I should've known you needed space

and cleared the way sooner.

But I do know you don't always
take care of yourself

when you have a deadline, so...

You went across town
and you got my favorite Thai.

And I'd go even further.
You must be starving.

I am.

But not for food.

Oh. Has the noise moratorium
been lifted?

Let's get loud.

I'm proud of you.

Do you realize we're almost
at our Samantha-versary?

It's been almost a year since
we roped you into ChelseaKat.

Ground floor.

And since then, we've gone
nowhere but up, up, up.

We're in Fenmore's.

We've got the Tokyo
Fashion Collective brewing,

and our new purse design
that we can't wait to unveil.

Wait, how have I not seen this?

It's gorgeous.

Oh, my God. W-What are you
gonna call it?

That's up to you.

I get to name it?

Yep, and let us know what you decide.

It's for the girl coming into her own.

She's part of a sisterhood.

She's a friend.

She's got history.

And she's ready to make some, too.

Wait, did we break her?

Samantha, speak.

I love it.

Thank you. Oh, and Kat and Chelsea,

I never felt more like I was one of you.

You didn't need a bag for that.

Oh, yes, I did.

Come here.

- Thank you, guys. I love you.
- We love you.

So proud of you.

[phone buzzing]

Hello?

Oh, uh... It completely slipped my mind.

I have a client meeting now.

Can you give
Dr. Fitzgerald my apologies?

Yeah. I-I'll call back and reschedule.

Okay, thanks. Bye.

Monica doesn't stand a chance.

I think she's already sold.

So, those are my terms.

Well, it would give Garland
some time to groom

an internal successor.

I have one more stipulation.

I want to continue consulting
on my existing cases

and handle, uh, select patients here.

I don't want to stop my
life's work, even for a moment.

We're looking for a chief
that knows her worth.

I expect I'll be back shortly
with an offer from the board.

You're not anticipating any pushback?

Nothing I can't handle.

It's time for a new dawn.

Getting some father-son time
gave you a lift.

You know, I needed it.

Martin made time for me in the middle

of planning his big fundraiser.

- You sound like a proud papa.
- Mm.

Who needs a date.
Would you do me the honor?

- I'd love to.
- Hm.

- Life is short.
- Mm-hmm.

We have to make the best of it.

I've written songs about this.

Ted and I have already had
our greatest hits.

And you are not the first woman

who couldn't resist a second act
after calling it quits.

I have seen it with friends
and in our family.

I am not Dani.

No. I haven't seen Dani look
at Bill like that in a minute.

- Ouch.
- Mm.

I just...

I got caught up in the season
of family get-togethers.

Allergies have seasons, feelings don't.

Shanice saved me
from having to walk back

whatever foolishness I would've said.

And so you'll never know.

How does that make you feel?

You analyzing me now?

I don't need a degree. I'm your mother.

We are all back
in our respective corners,

as we should be.

And I am ridiculously satisfied

with two very worthy men.

Kial...

Kial did fit hand in glove
at Easter brunch.

We complement each other.

No drama, just breezy.

And bachelor number two?

It's layered with Carlton.

So who's gonna get the final
rose for Martin's fundraiser...

Carefree or Carlton?
