Original subtitles

And you questioned if there was ever a time

-I wouldn't be into you. -Mm-mmm.

-Point taken. Repeatedly. -Yeah, I hope...

I hope so. Because I ain't going away.

-Mm. Come here. -Mm.

Mm, Damn. Damn, I...

-I spoke too soon. -What is it?

I made plans to meet Uncle Ted at the club for drinks.

And?

And I don't want to leave this bed.

Or leave you, for that matter,

Because you're worried about me?

If you're worried about Bill.

Well, rest assured I'm not.

Concerned, maybe.

-But after what we just did... -Mm-hmm.

and did and did...

...Bill's the furthest thing from my mind.

It's okay to be spooked, Dani.

I get it.

And if you need me to stay and talk,

then I can let Uncle Ted know that something came up.

You will do no such thing.

When Bill and I divorced, I made a vow to myself.

That I would no longer let that man control my life.

And that's two feet on the ground or in a hospital bed.

And he's not gonna control yours, either.

But this is different.

Go. Enjoy yourself.

And give Nicole's cheatin' ex-husband my best.

Or my worst. Either way.

Okay. I'll choose the latter. Since your best,

Dani Dupree, is reserved strictly for me.

Don't you forget it.

Watch out.

How did I get so lucky? Mwah.

Dad, Madison said that your carbon dioxide levels are low

and you had an electrolyte imbalance, right?

Mm, yeah. I did that whole elimination diet thing

and drank plenty of water, but now

it seems like it was all for nothing.

Well, according to this, it's pointing toward

respiratory alkalosis, kidney failure, or even--

Oh, Chels, are you sure you want to do that right now?

Oh. Hey.

Gonna stop you right there.

You know better than anyone

not to believe everything you read online.

-Okay. -There's a difference

between reading about symptoms

and understanding what they mean in context.

So, let's respect the doctor in the room

and not let Internet rabbit holes

spike everyone's blood pressure.

I know, I'm sorry. I didn't mean any disrespect.

It's just, we still don't know what's wrong with him.

We're just anxious and we want to know what we're dealing with

and what happens next.

What comes next is patience. I gave you my word that

I was gonna get to the bottom of these symptoms, and I will.

TIA is still at the top of my list.

Unfortunately, there's no single test

that definitively confirms it.

Okay, so what now--

it's all a guessing game?

Well, in your world, think of it as discovery.

Okay? We gather evidence so that

we can make an informed decision.

That's why I ordered additional tests.

A carotid ultrasound, an echocardiogram,

-and ECG. -Okay,

so how long is all that supposed to take?

We could knock all those out today.

-Good. -Well...

But I'd have to keep you overnight for observation.

The hell you will.

♪ ♪

You'd think after everything Bill's been through,

I'd be used to hospitals by now.

Yeah. Bill hates

being fussed over, but I told him

this isn't the time to be brave.

This is the time to listen to doctors

who know what they're doing.

Still, I... I just wonder if I missed something.

If there was a sign that I brushed off

because life was busy and everything seemed fine.

Hey. Dr. Montgomery is exceptional.

She's gonna get you answers, okay?

Don't worry.

You're right.

I'm gonna go back in there.

Thanks for the pep talk, ladies.

Mm-hmm.

And that concludes

our performance portion of our program.

Shanice.

Now, that is my best friend's stepmom you're talking about.

Yeah, which is why I kept my voice down.

And I am quite sure I haven't said anything

that Naomi hasn't already said.

-No comment. -[phone dings]

Grayson?

Yeah.

He wants to know if we can hang after my shift.

Oh. By the looks of that smile, you can.

So, how are things with, uh,

Mr. AbTech, anyway?

Really good.

Although it helps that he now has a legit side hustle.

Mm, yeah. Running samples in the lab by day,

mixing cocktails at the bar by night.

-I'm not mad at it. -Mm.

How are things with you and Ted?

[door closes]

I wanted to make your dinner break special.

For me, it doesn't matter what we do.

As long as we do it together.

Never been better.

-Tomas. -Dr. Richardson.

Oh, we're, uh, back to formalities now?

All things considered, I thought it was appropriate.

Look, about the proposal--

you put yourself out there.

Sometimes things don't land the way you hope,

but it's not the end of the world.

That's what I tell myself as I sweat it out in the gym.

Still couldn't quiet my head, though.

I keep replaying it,

wondering how pathetic I must have looked.

You didn't look pathetic.

Thanks. But I doubt that's true,

considering Kat tried to buy me a condo

right after she turned me down.

Wait, wait, wait.

So, you had this whole romantic dinner

-right in Ted's office? -Girl, yes.

I mean, candles, wine-- the works.

-He pulled out all the stops. -Oh. How sweet is that?

It was, right? I mean,

I was in my scrubs and work shoes

and Ted still had your girl feeling like Cinderella.

Uh, the Brandy version,

-of course. -Of course.

Well, that is really beautiful, Shanice.

Seems like Dr. Richardson has really fallen hard for you.

That makes two of us.

Hold up.

Did I hear you correctly--

my daughter bought you a condo?

I'm sorry, I misspoke.

She didn't buy it for me,

she bought it assuming we'd move in together,

as if that part was already discussed and decided.

Ah. So it was a reverse of the proposal,

and this time you were the one saying no.

Getting turned down in front of her whole family

already did a number on me.

But then she goes and buys property

without even looping me in.

I know she meant well, but--

Yeah, that kind of generosity

can mess with a man's head.

That exactly.

Look, since we're being honest,

I've had my own challenges with the Dupree women.

They're raised to be strong-minded,

which I love for my daughter.

Wouldn't have it any other way.

But when it comes to dating, for a man,

it can be hard to figure out where you fit.

Maybe I'm just frustrated since, at times, it feels like

I have no control over the direction of my own life.

I left Puerto Rico, my family, friends,

told myself I was coming here to build a better future.

Guess I thought I'd be further along by now.

Well, you can't expect everything in life

to fit into your timetable, Tomas.

Kat's not gonna move until she's ready, and if you two

plan on making it work, you got to slow down

long enough to get on the same page.

Huh?

Noted.

Oh, I'd better get back to the office.

Hang in there, Tomas.

Thanks.

She bought the man a damn condo?

-Unbelievable. -DANI: This is

a nice surprise.

I figured you could use more of that today.

I was just next door checking on Kat,

and she told me about Bill.

Are you okay?

Sure. Why wouldn't I be?

Because the father of your children

is in the hospital?

Last time Bill had a stroke, you turned into

Gabby Thomas and basically sprinted to be by his side.

I thought you'd be at Garland by now.

You thought wrong.

Bill has a wife. Not a particularly good one,

but that's neither here nor there.

She's the one who should focus on him now.

You can poke me, prod me, scan me until your heart's content.

When that's all done, I'm out of here.

-MADISON: Bill, you-- -BILL: Listen, okay?

I have a law firm to run, all right?

Clients who depend on me. Real people with real problems

who don't get to press pause because I had a bad afternoon.

Are you done grandstanding yet?

You can patronize me all you want.

Doesn't change the situation. I cannot-- no--

I will not stay laid up in a hospital

-until God knows when. -Whoa, what did I miss?

Your husband's being treated like an invalid

when I'm very much alive and thinking clearly.

No one is questioning your mental faculties.

Madison just wants to keep you safe until we know more.

And when you fall dead, who will take care of your clients then?

That's not gonna happen.

I'm trying to tell you all I feel fine.

You felt good before your last stroke, too.

Which I survived.

Barely.

Can we talk?

-You cannot be okay with this. -He's his own man, Naomi.

I can't make him do what he does not want to do.

Really? Because you seemed perfectly capable

of making him leave his wife.

Okay, that is not fair.

Well, neither is watching my dad gamble with his life.

And you expect me to do what, exactly?

Make yourself useful, for a change.

Okay? Talk to him.

Convince him to stay long enough for Madison

to figure out what the hell is going on.

Okay, fine.

I will give it a shot.

I want this mystery solved just as much as you do.

Yeah? Then prove it.

Okay.

Ah, there he is.

Yeah, my apologies.

Work ran long.

Would that work be named "Dani," by chance?

I get it.

-I had my honeymoon year once. -Yeah, you caught me.

But that wasn't the main reason

why I had to give extra attention to my wife.

Bill has had another episode.

For real?

Yeah.

He's back in the hospital.

It just happened today.

Damn. I-I...

I thought, after the stroke and the TIA,

that chapter was closed.

We all did.

How's Dani taking it?

Too well, actually.

-Yeah. Mm. -Mm.

She's acting like nothing happened.

Which is par for the course,

since she's still mostly burying her head in the sand

after testing positive for BRCA.

-Mm-hmm. Mostly? -Yeah.

She switched some things up,

generally taking care of herself,

but she seems more concerned

about what taking proactive steps would do to her body

instead of thinking about what cancer would do to her life.

Well, testing positive for BRCA doesn't mean

Dani will develop breast cancer.

She's at a higher risk, but it's not inevitable.

Right. I know the science, Uncle Ted.

What I don't get is why she won't even consider

doing everything in her power to lower the risk.

What good is physical beauty if preserving it is gonna

cost you your life?

I do feel like I can just be with Ted, though.

I mean, I was in my scrubs, sneakers, exhaustion and all,

and he still looked at me like I'm exactly who he wants.

Sounds like a good sign.

Feels like one.

Grayson and I are gonna have a lot of work to do

if we're ever gonna rebuild what we had.

But, you know, I'm glad I opened the door to him again.

Yeah, that makes sense. I mean, trust doesn't just

snap back into place because two people miss each other.

Don't rush it.

Let it grow exactly how it's supposed to.

Organically.

Like you and Ted?

You're right. Thanks.

Oh, well, if you really want to thank me,

you can check on those test results Madison ordered.

-Right away. -Mm-hmm.

MAN [over P.A.]: Dr. White, dial 316.

Listen, I have depositions scheduled, briefs that are due.

I have partners who can't even find their own

-damn socks without me. -Dad, please be so for real.

None of you understand the demanding pressure

of a job like mine, okay?

-None of us? -Look, okay.

Listen, I don't have the luxury

of spending the night in a hospital.

Excuse me.

Take a breath, baby. Okay?

Nobody's trying to bench you.

We're just asking you to sit out long enough

to make sure you're okay.

-I am okay. -It's just one night.

And the sooner we find out what's going on with you,

the sooner we can enjoy other certain activities

without me worrying about you being hurt.

Well...

I'd at least like a few comforts from home.

-I'll go grab them. -Oh, that won't be necessary.

I know what he needs. I'm his wife, after all.

What would I do without you?

Well, with any luck, you'll never have to find out.

Be right back. Excuse me.

I have to say, I'm proud of you.

For what?

Not running to the hospital the second you found out

Bill had a medical emergency.

I'm finally seeing how toxic

the dynamic with my ex-husband really is.

Since the divorce, we've talked ourselves hoarse

about boundaries. It's time we abided by them.

So this is you doing it?

And realizing that every time Bill sneezes,

I don't have to run to his side.

Believe it or not, even I can learn from past mistakes.

Oh, I believe it.

I just don't believe that's the whole story.

So... what aren't you telling me?

When we found out Kat was a match for Eva,

everything in you screamed to push her, pressure her.

You-you guilted her, backed her into a corner if you had to.

Whatever it took to make sure she saved her sister's life.

Eva wouldn't have survived without Kat stepping up, so...

You weren't alone in your thinking, Uncle Ted.

It was Leslie, Martin, Isaiah--

you all were on the same page.

Still, it's Kat's choice.

It's her body, her risk, her call.

And she made it, with a little pressure.

Look, I know Dani testing positive

feels like the same five-alarm fire,

like if I don't do something right now,

something terrible is gonna happen.

But that's not necessarily the case.

So, what-- sit and...

wait to see what happens?

Unfortunately, yes. But, look, for what it's worth,

you've been an excellent husband.

You've been attentive. You've been solid.

You've protected her in many ways that matter.

You've managed far better than Bill Hamilton ever would have.

That's not exactly stiff competition.

I'm just scared, Uncle Ted.

I can see that. We both know why.

My sudden desire to wall myself off from Bill

comes with no hidden agenda.

I've just stopped reopening doors that were already closed.

Is that so?

The tornado did that for a lot of folks.

Shook us awake.

-Mm-hmm. -Look at my life.

I've got a husband who loves me out loud,

two girls who keep me grounded,

a career that is thriving.

Mother's almost on the other side of cancer.

There is nothing in my past that is for me.

Nothing worth revisiting.

Especially Bill Hamilton.

I am glad to hear you say that.

And if this ever feels heavier than you are letting on,

you know I'm just a call away.

I know. Love you.

Thank you, sissy.

I'll check in on you later.

[phone vibrates]

Chelsea Bear.

They're gonna keep Dad overnight.

Oh. Okay.

Do they know what caused the episode?

Madison said the MRI didn't show any signs of a stroke.

Um, she thinks it might have been another TIA.

They're gonna do more tests.

How is he?

Grumpy.

So, in other words, fine.

But I'm not. Honestly, Mom, I'm scared.

I know,

sweetheart. But your father

is the most headstrong man I have ever met.

He doesn't scare easily, and-and he doesn't quit.

So let's save our worry for when we know something concrete.

Is Hayley there?

She just left to grab him some things.

Didn't want him to feel like he was trapped here.

That's smart. Hey, uh,

thanks for calling, Chelsea.

And let Bill know that we're all pulling for him.

-I will. -I love you, baby.

I love you too, Mom.

Do you need anything, Dad?

Uh, well, matter of fact, yeah.

Um, you mind heading over to the firm?

You know, just make sure things run smoothly

while I'm stuck in here?

I'd rather stay by your side.

I'm sure Tomas and Caroline can hold down the fort.

Yeah. No, they're-- Caroline and Tomas are my employees.

You're my daughter.

You're the only person I trust with my legacy.

I-- Okay, I know you never wanted it, but...

this is your birthright.

You know, if anything were to happened to me, I--

Okay, don't finish that sentence.

Please, Naomi. Hmm?

Do it for your old man.

What are you doing?

TOMAS: I was... I mean, I wasn't, uh...

Making yourself at home?

Caroline told me Bill left some necessary files behind.

Here they are.

Mm. You didn't hear what happened to Bill?

Caroline told me about that, too.

I'm worried about him. We all are.

Mm. Yeah, clearly, you more than anyone.

Look, I know that didn't look good,

but it's not what you think.

Bill is more than a boss to me, okay?

He's like a mentor, a father figure.

-I would never-- -Ah. Save it.

You don't owe me an explanation.

In fact...

ambition looks good on you.

What's that supposed to mean?

As if you don't know.

Come on, Tomas, you're... you're young, you're hungry,

and you've been watching and waiting for your moment.

Are you saying that...

this is my moment?

Be careful, Tomas.

Something tells me you won't be the only one

lining up to fill Bill's seat.

You really will do anything to get my attention, won't you?

I thought you weren't coming.

So did I.

There was a time when, um, after my parents died,

that I didn't think I was gonna make it.

You know, I was...

I was functioning, you know?

Showing up, doing all the things

that people say you're supposed to do

-when you're being strong? -Yeah.

But inside, I was-I was done.

I remember.

But, for what it's worth,

you handled all of it with a lot of grace.

That's because I have strong people to lean on.

If it had not been for you and Nicole,

and Martin and Kat...

-Give yourself some credit. -No, no, I'm serious, Uncle Ted.

I know I don't say it enough.

You don't have to say it at all. It was an honor and a privilege

to be there for my brother's child.

I wish there was more that could have been done.

Yeah, but there wasn't.

I had to learn to live with that.

And if... and if that was unbearable,

then I can't even wrap my head around

-the idea of losing... -I hear you.

When Nicole tested negative for the BRCA gene,

I was so relieved

that it wouldn't be passed on to Martin and Kat.

It was as if...

I had gotten the best belated Christmas gift

God ever gave me.

But just because your family doesn't get diagnosed

doesn't mean they're protected from life.

Yeah, that's true.

Look at what happened to Eva and Kat.

And Martin took a hard hit, too.

Listen.

Life doesn't always knock, Andre.

Sometimes it walks right in, whether you're ready or not.

That's why you can't borrow tomorrow's trouble for today's.

Got to stay in the present.

Got to love Dani hard.

So, no matter what happens, there are no regrets.

Ah, ah. Lose my number.

And for real this time.

Everything good?

Ooh. Define "good."

Fourth of July--

I go home for a little family cookout.

You know-- family food, ribs, potato salad.

People who shouldn't have been invited putting raisins

where they don't belong.

-I hate when that happens. -Right?

Anyway, here I am, minding my own good business,

eating my mama's mac and cheese, and who do I run into?

My ex.

-He cheated on you, right? -And lied.

And then had the nerve to act confused

when I left his ass in the dust.

Okay. Uh, please tell me

-he didn't try-- -Oh, he did.

Running his mouth, talking about how he's grown and he's changed

and he hasn't stopped thinking about me since I walked away.

Ugh. And the woman he cheated on you with?

Hm. She dumped him.

Of course she did.

The nerve.

The one that you blew your whole life up for

woke up and realized, suddenly, she deserves better.

And now you want to come crawling back to me

like I'm some type of emotional safety net?

-Child, please. -You got to love poetic justice.

Oh, and I savored it, too.

I looked him dead in his trifling face and I said,

"Oh, I have a man now, and a good one.

"One who knows my work and treats me

"like the queen that I am. And he wouldn't even

dream of cheating on a woman like me."

So you're telling me that you pulled off all that

-in the middle of your office? -I did indeed.

In the hospital?

That is some rom-com next level effort right there.

Well, I had some help. You know, Shanice's aunt

pulled some strings.

I guess being chief of staff has its perks.

Oh. All righty.

Just raise the bar for the rest of us.

You'll be fine. You always were.

Shanice is... special.

She's smart. She's steady.

She knows exactly who she is.

Somebody's got it bad.

Mm. Scares the hell out of me.

Why's that?

I... I panicked. I thought I...

-told her I loved her. -Mm-hmm.

Ah, I remember you telling me that. Yeah.

I bent over backwards trying to explain

that I wasn't there yet, that I was liking

where we were headed, but I didn't want to rush it.

And, at the time, it was true.

But now it's not true.

So what's the problem? Why don't you tell her now?

I've only told two women

in my entire life that I love them.

Mm-hmm. Okay, Aunt Nicole is one, and...

-Leslie. -Mm-hmm.

You know how both those situations turned out.

Uh, Nicole, that was not m-me trying to imply

what you and Ted had wasn't real or that, somehow,

what him and I have is better. I-I was not

trying to throw shade, trust me.

Relax, Shanice. It's fine.

I'm glad that you're confident in your relationship with Ted.

Just because we didn't make it doesn't mean

that Ted isn't capable of a healthy relationship,

one that is rooted in trust and in understanding.

Thank you.

'Cause that's what it feels like we're heading towards.

And, honestly, it is a long time coming.

I have had my fair share of unhappy endings

in the love department.

Being cheated on does not feel good.

Tell me about it.

MAN [over P.A.]: Dr. Lando, you have Imaging, line two.

Ashley, are there any updates

on the additional tests we ran for Bill?

Uh, still processing, but I'm tracking everything.

Perfect.

-[indistinct conversation] -Um, what did I walk in on?

Oh, just some girl chat about cheating partners.

Oh. I'm grateful I've never had to deal with that.

My fiancée and I only have eyes for each other.

Well, rub it in, why don't you?

When my marriage ended, my mother gave me some

very unexpected advice.

She told me to date, and not just one man.

Have fun without expectations.

And I do have to say it has been

quite the liberating experience.

Okay, confession time.

I was a little shocked when I found out that you were

dating both Dr. Fitzgerald and Dr. Rollins.

That's fair.

When you met me, I was Dr. Nicole Richardson,

renowned psychiatrist, perfect marriage, perfect life.

And then Leslie took a battering ram to all of that.

And then I had to recreate myself.

Well, I cannot imagine juggling two guys.

[clears throat]

What about Derek and Andre?

Oh, she's got you there.

No, no. No, I wasn't exactly juggling them.

Child, please. The only thing that stopped you

from cheating on Derek with Andre was timing.

More specifically, his typing with Dani.

Oh, my God.

I am just as bad as the men that we're dragging.

I mean, Ted cheated on you, your exes cheated on you,

and I almost cheated on Derek

with Nicole's sister's husband.

Ooh. This sounds like an episode of Married to Medicine.

No, it's giving more like

Love & Hip Hop: Garland Memorial.

You hate hospitals, you despise doctors,

and you treat waiting rooms like purgatory.

Do you have a point here, Dani?

Yes. I want to know why you aren't

taking better care of yourself.

And why a man who has spent his entire life

dodging one of these places isn't doing

everything in his power to stay out of one.

Oh, now, come on. What, you think I want to be here?

You know, Madison ran all kinds of tests.

Still doesn't know what the hell's going on with me.

I knew you'd come.

I came for you girls.

Well, now that I know you're in good hands,

I'll go make some calls, update Kat, the Grans.

Let everyone know Dad's cranky but still alive.

Love you too, sweetheart.

So, is what you said true?

Did you just come for the girls?

What do you think?

Are you scared?

Truth.

Yeah.

Listen to me.

You're a pain in the butt.

But you're our pain in the butt.

And you're not gonna die on us.

Madison and these doctors are gonna figure out

what's wrong with you.

Then they're gonna fix it.

And then you are going on to give us grief

for the next 50 years, and I won't

accept anything less.

I will not accept a world

without you in it, Bill Hamilton.

Careful, now.

Starting to sound like you like me.

Let's not get carried away.

Yes, I understand your position, but given the circumstances,

we're gonna have to reschedule the deposition.

No, that won't be necessary.

I'll follow up.

Yeah, yeah, he's fine.

Okay, you're disgusting. I'm hanging up.

Naomi. I wasn't expecting to see you.

Did I just hear you reschedule a deposition?

Yeah. My dad's in the hospital again

for some mystery illness, and the last thing he needs

is for some jackass lawyer

to make his health problems worse.

And when did you join the firm?

I haven't.

Just looking out for my father. Someone has to.

For the record, I already knew about Bill.

Good. Then you'll understand why you're gonna

need to step it up around here.

Uh, I already have.

With clients, deadlines. Uh, meetings.

Everything except for Mike's scheduled deposition.

Well, since you're on Madison's case,

that one's all your lane.

Outside of that, you don't need to concern yourself.

I got it. Trust me.

How you and Nicole ended doesn't erase how y'all began,

and doesn't cancel the life you built

or the family you raised.

-I know. You're right. -Yeah.

And as far as Leslie-- with all due respect--

she and Shanice are totally different people.

-Mm. -One is licensed

to administer psychiatric medication

and the other needs to be on it.

You're funny.

But am I wrong?

You know, back when I met Dana,

she wasn't always like that.

I mean, I'm not saying I'm responsible

for every crazy stunt she pulled,

but I'd be lying if I said I didn't play a part.

What if I hurt Shanice the same way?

Uncle Ted, your swag is off the charts.

All right? No doubt.

But even you ain't all that.

-How you really feel? -I'm serious.

Leslie did not lose her damn mind

because you said "I love you" and then you changed your mind.

You got scared.

And Shanice ain't the type to go postal

because of the "L" word.

You just told me that

I need to stop borrowing tomorrow's troubles,

to stay right here, in the here and now,

in the present.

Maybe you should take your own advice.

Well, I clearly missed something.

Hey, honey. Thanks for grabbing my things.

What's so funny? I like to laugh.

Let me hear the joke.

You had to be there.

Take care of yourself.

Did you really send me all the way home

to get a toothbrush and multi-charger

that you just couldn't live without,

or was that a clever way to clear the room

so you could summon Dani?

Well, first of all, you offered.

And, no, I didn't summon anybody.

You know, I had no idea she was even stopping by.

Sure you didn't.

Hayley. Honey, I mean, come on. Really?

You're gonna pick a fight with me

while I'm laid up in this hospital bed?

I mean, look at me.

I'm not trying to fight, babe,

I'm... I'm just worried about you.

And I wish you'd turn to me instead of your ex.

I'm your wife now. Like our vows said,

in sickness and in health. Okay?

Okay. Okay.

I got to say this was way more fun than it should have been,

talking to my coworkers about men.

And women.

Hold on. In all fairness, all you did was gush

about how perfect you and Chelsea are.

I mean, it wasn't really the vibe we were going for.

Well, I can't help that my relationship

is amazing and healthy.

I am glad to hear this, for you and my daughter's sake.

I should go put a rush on those additional tests for Bill.

And I have to go check on my other patients,

but this was fun and we should do it again sometime.

Agreed, though maybe somewhere less formal.

Uptown?

Sounds like a plan.

I thought you weren't coming.

I wasn't, until I decided

I needed to look Bill in his face

and tell him he can't die on me.

You mean "on the girls."

Right. See you later.

You okay, Shanice?

Yeah, I am. Why?

I just want to make sure all this ragging

on cheating partners wasn't too triggering.

No. I was dragging folks along with everybody else. I'm good.

If it helps, I can tell

Ted is crazy about you.

Thanks for saying that.

I am happier with Ted than I ever thought I'd be,

and I know I want more with him.

I just hope that one day he'll be ready for the same.

Do we have a problem, Tomas?

Yeah, we have a problem.

While you were out saving the world,

doing meaningful work, making a difference...

Mm, you're mocking me now.

-I'm just stating the facts. -Mm.

Late nights, early mornings.

I was here busting my ass for your father

after you turned your back on him.

Yet he still sent me here

to keep an eye on things.

Look, Tomas, I don't know what you think you know,

but I didn't turn my back on anyone.

That's not how it felt like from the other side of the desk.

Thank you for looking after Bill

-and the firm. -Mm.

But you can fall back. I'm here.

I've been here.

And I got this.
