(humming)

Well, somebody's in a good mood.

-Hey, you're back. -Yeah.

-Where were you this time? -Dallas.

I was at an orthopedic conference.

You know, the focus was on pro athletes.

-Oh. -You should've been there.

If you ever want to change, the NFL would be lucky

to have your PT magic.

Oh, and leave all this? Please. Garland is where I belong.

I understand that. I soaked up all the knowledge I could,

but I was really ready to get back.

Well, that's new.

Let me guess why.

Starts with "Nicole," ends with "Dupree"?

Says the woman who's practically

dancing behind her desk. Is there any particular reason?

I just woke up on the right side of the bed.

-(laptop chimes) -Oh, I have patients calling.

Yeah, and I have a spinal decompression consult

in a few.

Looks like we'll have to table this.

Oh, and Nicole's not in till later today.

She's worth the wait.

You have perfect timing.

You caught me before I head out to

discuss my next lecture series with the dean.

Those kids are so lucky.

No, no, I am.

No, for all the reasons.

Those kids give me hope for the future.

And this woman being all lit up again

gives me life.

How is your soreness today, Mother?

It's fading away.

I never thought I would be looking forward to radiation,

but the sooner I start this phase of my treatment,

the sooner I can say goodbye to the big C for good.

VERNON: Mm. Amen.

After one heck of a stretch, every Dupree is in a good place.

Well, we are all so happy for you, Mother.

-I should get going. -Um...

I can't be blissfully happy unless my whole brood is.

What's this? What's going on?

It's not a five-alarm fire that needs fixing today.

Well...

-I'm not comforted. -Neither am I.

Ask Dani. It's not mine to tell.

Really, I don't want to be late. I should go.

She didn't just kiss and run.

I can chase her down.

I'm still swift.

-Oh, yes, you are. -(door closes)

But we want our girls to confide in each other.

Let's go to the source.

Dani has been on a longer than usual chaos-free streak.

Are you saying she's overdue?

I'm just wondering what she's gotten herself into now.

VERNON: Mm.

? ?

(sighs) Don't go out there.

Have the aliens landed or something?

It is hotter than Hades.

Well, I happen to have an ice-cold water right here.

-Oh. Thank you. -Mm-hmm.

-Is there anything else I can get you? -Mm.

This will hold me over while I wait for Nicole.

Heat aside, how are you and your not-so-littles doing?

Deanna's home and working with me at my agency,

and Donnell's taking a couple of courses this summer.

Oh, the way Donnell stepped up

for my Samantha through all her debutante drama,

he will always have a special place in my heart.

Now, you please tell him I said hi.

Will do. He really did have fun.

Not to be greedy, but maybe Donnell can give

Tyrell the tea on Banneker?

Mm.

I'll have him text Tyrell.

You must be so proud.

I am, of both my kids.

It's so hard to believe that Tyrell is old enough

to be a big college man.

I remember when Doug and I found out that Deanna

and Donnell were accepted. We were bursting.

Mm. Just having Tyrell and Samantha

back in my life is a miracle.

But I get to see them all the time,

and they include me in their big, important moments.

Hey.

You're their mother, June.

Who's made a lot of mistakes.

But you never set out to hurt them.

That counts for a lot.

You know, I used to tell people all the time

that there's no such thing as second chances and do-overs,

but now, I have to eat my words, 'cause lookee here,

lookee here, lookee here.

You never know until you know.

Chief, I just sent you the incident report

-for Park Street. -Was it robbery?

Yeah. You wanted to look it over, remember?

Later. I got lunch. At least I think I do.

You're not sure?

I asked Izaiah to meet me.

-As in my brother? -That's the one.

Okay. Wait, wait, wait, wait.

You asked him to sit down with you? Why?

He's my son. Isn't that reason enough?

Well, I don't know, Pops. You tell me.

It's hard to leave my book, my couch,

and my man, but PT awaits.

Izaiah.

Uh, I'm driving you.

Nope. But what's got you all bugging?

Pops texted.

What about?

He wants to meet at Orphey Gene's,

but I'm gonna tell him I'm otherwise occupied.

You don't want to know what it's about?

He just expects me to drop everything to go get judged.

It's not like he's asking to split the combo platter.

That platter is bomb. Mom and I finished it once.

All's right with the world.

You know? I'm-I'm-I'm in my happy place,

kicking it with my woman.

Watching you read is so damn sexy, by the way.

And then, boom, one text from Pops,

and I'm 17 and ducking again.

So... hard pass?

I'm not up for another round of awkward silence

followed by a-a trip down memory lane of my misdeeds.

But I thought you two had a moment when I was laid up?

Hitting pause on the sanctimony under duress

doesn't make it a trend.

Well, there's only one way to know.

I have zero curiosity, except...

what if there's more to it?

You know, what-what if it has something to do with Ma or Luke?

Oh, babe, I hope not.

Maybe Pops knows that's where my mind would jump,

so he's being deliberately cryptic.

Well, that sounds more like a Leslie move than an Elon one.

Yeah, I don't... I don't like flying blind.

I'm calling Jacob.

I bet he can clue me in.

Come on. Pick up, brah.

Voicemail.

Pops has me right where he wants me.

I can't mess around.

I gotta find out.

Izaiah's in, so you don't have to call him back.

How do you know he called me?

Look, without touching my phone,

I already know my brother's wondering

just as hard as I am.

It's your mother.

-Is Ma okay? -No, she's fine.

She's just been on me about

getting her boys around the table for family dinner

now that Izaiah's home for good.

So it's all Ma?

You mean not tell me there's no part of you

that misses your youngest?

I've been doing some thinking about Izaiah.

It's time to mend fences.

Well, I'm glad to hear you say that.

I just hope your brother can show up

without being on the defensive.

See that? That right there?

That's already you on the offensive.

I'm talking to you, not him.

But when you do, history says that can go down real quick

unless you listen to your eldest.

So what say you, little brother's keeper?

All right, listen.

When it comes to Izaiah, stick to safe subjects:

Eva, his job,

the weather, things like that.

Just ask questions and listen.

If I wanted to be micromanaged, I would've told your mother.

-You didn't? -And you bet not either.

Because you already think things are gonna go south?

Pops, look, it's like a cold case

that needs a fresh set of eyes.

You already tried it your way, and look where that got you.

So, maybe try something a little different

to get a better outcome with your son.

-And that's all I'm gonna say. -Yeah.

I got to get to Orphey Gene's.

Yes, sir.

(both laughing)

Sorry I'm late.

What's so funny?

Oh, I... We were just catching up.

Uh, we were bonding over the Belle-scares.

June, we have to schedule some more time to celebrate Tyrell

before Banneker. This summer is flying.

Mm-hmm. Yes, it is. And my baby boy-

oh, excuse me, I mean, Tyrell-

is doing so good.

Our boy has made us all proud.

Yes. All right, well, I'm-a get

the two of you set up right over there.

-Oh, ooh, so sorry. -You're good, you're good.

I so needed this no-drama lunch with you.

-Oh. -Thank you, June.

-You're welcome. -Thank you.

So you have something delicious and messy to share?

I might've thrown a grenade into someone's day.

Do we hate them or love them?

We are not playing the guessing game.

-It's not mine to tell. -Hmm.

Well, if it's someone you care about, all will be forgiven.

At least that's what I tell myself.

I wish I could be more like you.

Who can blame you? I'm fabulous.

Oh, somebody is feeling herself today.

There's more where that came from.

We will get you one of these sweet teas.

It will do wonders for you.

(phone buzzing)

Oh.

Hi, Daddy.

I'm not catching you at a bad time, am I?

Pammy and I were just about to get lunch with a model. Why?

Well, do you think you could stop by the house on your way?

Of course.

Is everything okay?

That's what your mother and I were trying to deduce.

I'll be right there.

-Daddy? Mother? -VERNON: In here.

I have been playing worst-case scenarios in my head

the whole way over here.

We've been doing the same.

Is there something you want to share with us, Danielle?

Why do I feel like I am 12 years old

and I just snuck out of my room?

No, we're thinking about something

more recent you might be hiding.

Well, whatever you've heard, it's not what you think.

And people shouldn't be talking out of school.

Especially not about Bill and me.

Nothing has changed between us. Not now. Not ever.

Who said anything about you and Bill?

We weren't the least bit concerned about you and Bill.

Should we be?

Yeah, I got my handcuffs.

You know I don't go anywhere without them.

I can't wait to arrest you.

Hey, man, you got some bleach over there?

Do I look like maintenance?

I need to scrub that image of you

and your criminal ladylove out of my mind.

Hey, work hard, celebrate harder.

And now that her child's on the mend,

Leslie's in rare and more finer form.

Look, I got your drift, and I don't want it.

I can keep it professional.

Hey, something just crossed my desk

that has your name all over it.

Eva, you here for a follow-up?

Oh, uh, I have a PT session with Shanice.

She's rounding right now.

Oh.

-Uh, since I have you... -Mm-hmm.

I know Kat's doing her PT with you.

You want to race her around the desk again?

Maybe? If that means she's doing well.

Is she?

I know you have that confidentiality,

but maybe you can just blink once for yes.

-I wish. -It was worth a try.

Look, she looked good when I saw her.

Well, maybe I could just text my dad,

-but I'm trying to respect half-sister boundaries. -Mm-hmm.

But at the same time, she's the reason I'm alive, so

the lines are kind of blurred right now.

Hypothetically, it'd be safe to say,

with somebody of that level of mobility,

and who actually isn't on the PT roster, is doing quite well.

That's good to hear, hypothetically.

Mm-hmm. And how are you feeling?

Restless.

This is my longest stretch without working

since I was like ten.

Ten?

Well, I had a lemonade stand, and then I started

working at the salon.

Look, I was born to hustle, and I miss it.

I am itching to get back to work.

And your dad's keeping you off your feet.

A transplant is not a joke.

I can sit at my desk at the practice

as easily as I can sit on my couch at home.

Look, there is protective, and then there is my dad.

I have to agree with Ted.

As a doctor?

As a dad.

Hey. How's Kat recovering?

-Hi! She is raring to go. -That's good to hear.

Well, enjoy your lunch.

Mmm. Well, if it isn't my favorite chief.

You didn't call in.

So does that mean you're going to be staying a while?

I need a booth for two.

Okay.

Mm. Right here.

-Right here? Great. -Mm-hmm.

You go on and sit yourself down.

I was surprised, too.

But Deanna actually set it up.

And there we were at Uptown and Joey and Deanna

were actually laughing and comparing wine notes.

Are you sure you just weren't seeing what you wanted?

Deanna's really making an effort.

She, you know...

Joey may never be her favorite person, but...

...if that's not progress,

what could it be?

I don't know.

But that is quite a departure from how she first took to Joey.

She was mourning.

That was months ago.

She's maintained her resistance all these months.

But she is in a much better place now.

And-and-and we're closer now that we're working together.

Deanna has always run hot and cold.

-I just- I want you to manage your expectations. -I will.

I promise.

Hey.

Okay. Just tell me who's hurt.

-Or sick. -Everything's fine.

Just wanted to have a proper sit-down with my son.

(scoffs) You made me worry for nothing.

Yeah. It's the only way I could get you here.

You're right about that.

Sorry. My brain went to Bill because of that scare.

VERNON: We know.

And we're glad he's back on his feet.

And not to be insensitive,

but what does that have to do with you?

Oh. Um,

well, the kids roped me into going to visit him

because they thought that Bill needed me

and you know how he gets when he's sick.

But I gently reminded them that he has a wife now.

And while Hayley doesn't exactly scream "caregiver,"

he is her problem, not mine.

-Amen to that. -Mm.

Well, don't scare us like that.

-Mm. -Bursting in here just now with Bill on your lips.

We thought you might have had a...

weak moment.

But forgive us.

(chuckles)

The thought never should've entered our minds.

There's nothing for you to apologize for.

My track record is cause enough.

That's history.

Dead and buried.

Now tell us what the big mystery is.

Yes, Nicole gave us the impression

something serious is happening,

but she stopped short.

She told you that?

We know both our daughters so well,

we can tell when something's troubling them.

Now, don't get mad at your sister.

I'm not mad.

I'm sad.

There is some news about Naomi.

Naomi?

What's happening with our granddaughter?

Last time I checked, it was the chief's job to assign cases.

Your dad's playing keep-away on this one.

Probably wants to give you a breather

after busting the plasma ring.

But you think I'm good for it?

There's a guy doing a quarter to life up in Jessup Correctional.

Word is he's got info

that'll help us nail more members of his crew.

Okay. What's the play?

You pose as a convict,

move into his cell, and hopefully get him talking.

Yeah, I don't know, man.

So, the big man's just gonna ride his first win forever.

Okay, I didn't say that.

You need to prove to every cop here

that you're more than just the chief's son.

Here's your chance.

And what other answer is there than, "Hell yeah"?

I know you have it memorized, but do you want menus?

Just coffee for me.

I'm not staying long.

We'll take those menus.

Oh, the chief trumps you, cutie.

Coming right up. (chuckles softly)

Making up my mind for me.

You never change.

Oh, please. Tell me, how's Eva doing?

-Amazing. -That's good.

Glad everything's working out.

You could've texted me to ask that.

Why am I really here?

This dynamic that we got going...

it's unsustainable.

(sighs)

-Ma's behind this. -No, she's not.

She doesn't know I'm here. This is me

trying to shift things between you and I,

because I realize now that you're not that kid

that left home all those years ago.

And I've been remiss not to acknowledge

this new and improved you.

Okay.

Who are you and what have you done with my pops?

'Cause he's never said a kind word about me to my face.

And that's on me.

Look, I just tried to raise you like my father raised me.

That man rode me hard, Izaiah.

Made me the man that I am today.

And I figured I needed to do the same for my boys.

But I guess, you know,

maybe one approach didn't fit all.

But I need you to understand

that it was always my intention to help you.

I want you to try seeing

from your dad's point of view for a second.

(sighs) How's that?

Well, having two kids in the OR...

...at the exact same moment...

...both in... hanging in the balance, you know,

is a parent's worst nightmare.

I mean, my kids are perfectly fine,

yes, but the image alone, it just scares me.

Are they still in high school, or...?

They're grown.

(chuckles) But nothing changes.

You know, job for life is to protect them.

But he's a doctor.

Shouldn't he get that I'm well now?

You're gonna have to give him a minute, at least.

You and Kat were both in the OR

and there was nothing he could do.

Now, well, Ted's in overdrive.

Yeah.

Thanks for that, Kial.

I'll ease up on complaining every time he fusses over me.

-Now you're good with that. -(both chuckle)

Not everyone takes the time to puff up somebody else's kid.

Do yours know that they scored big-time with you?

-We're doing fine. -(chuckles softly)

(laughs)

Nicole is lucky to have a man like you.

I'm the lucky one.

-Thank you. -You're welcome.

Mm. Are we gonna see a father-son throwdown

like at Jacob and Naomi's wedding?

Their body language indicates that they are trying

to gut out their obvious tension.

-Hmm. -Never thought I'd see that.

Maybe there's something in the air.

I mean, Deanna making nice with Joey,

Izaiah breaking bread with his dad.

People are coming together.

Maybe it's the heat wave.

Or maybe it's the social-emotional dynamics

that are based in something deeper than vibes.

-Okay. Uh, you lost me. -(chuckles)

Give Dr. Dupree a break and let me talk to Naughty Nicole.

Where is my man update?

Something unexpected did happen in that arena.

And was this a good surprise or bad?

Definitely good.

Thanks for setting me straight.

Can we keep this little chat between us?

I wouldn't want to hurt my dad's feelings,

and I'm just really grateful to have him.

Of course.

And I'm sure he knows that.

Oh, and, by the way, you know what?

Take it easy.

You know, having a transplant is...

well, it's tough, and it's both...

hard emotionally and physically.

But my head keeps going to all the work that's piling up

at the practice and at the clinic.

And I'm sure your father has everything handled at work.

You said you were looking for a new manager at the clinic?

I mean, I was interviewing candidates before the tornado.

But the few who applied weren't the right fit.

Look, Derek left big shoes to fill.

Mm. Of course.

(sighs) Look, I need someone who knows their stuff

and who also has a heart

and won't look down on the people we serve.

Mm. Well, you know what?

Eventually the right person's gonna show up.

I'm here.

Ooh, and you are here early.

-We are already off to a great start. -Mm.

Okay.

What?

Do you need to give me a moisturizer recommendation?

Or does that glow you're sporting

have to do with my dad?

Uh-uh. We are on the clock,

and every second is dedicated to you,

-not me. So let's get going. -Mm. Mm-hmm.

-Mm-hmm. -Mm-hmm. -Good luck.

-You're gonna need it. -(chuckling)

And I will deal with you later.

I'm looking forward to it.

(Shanice chuckles)

I thought I had them both figured out.

Carlton was making the big play for my heart,

-and Kial was... -Strictly funsies

for all your other parts. And?

(chuckles)

And after the tornado,

Kial came over and just...

laid with me all night.

Just like that,

Kial is where I need to be when I need someplace to lean.

And the sex is still scorching?

Mmm. It is.

-Well, then, ding-a-ling-ling, you have a winner. -(laughing)

When are you gonna let Carlton down?

I'm not.

(stammers) But Kial is fulfilling all the needs.

You have a key to his place.

You have mind-blowing sex.

And you're connecting.

When not having sex feels that good,

you're in it.

So what am I missing?

The part where I don't want to stop having the time of my life

with both men.

Oh. (chuckles)

Okay. Uh, where was this enlightened pops

back in the day when you were forcing that badge on me,

-knowing I didn't want it? -You could've stood up to me

and said no instead of running the streets.

You could've not hauled your own kid downtown.

You broke the law that I swore to uphold.

-And I helped you anyway. -(scoffs)

Even though you didn't show an ounce of remorse.

-Only to save face, huh, Chief? -Look, enough. Okay?

Now, we can't keep going back and forth.

Can't we step out of the past already?

(scoffs)

I've worked on myself, Pops.

You're still stuck back in time slamming who I used to be.

And as long as you're there, I... (sighs)

I don't see how we move forward.

When would somebody need to go under?

The informant we had just transferred out.

We're back to square one and losing time.

-We need to get someone in now and- -Well,

it's not gonna be me.

I need to stick close to home right now.

Okay. I'm gonna rip off the bandage.

Naomi has the BRCA gene.

The girls were tested.

She was clear.

She didn't tell us because she didn't want you to know-

or-or any of us, because she didn't want us to worry.

Jacob was undercover.

And I was in the throes of it.

Just when I thought we were out of the woods,

the hits keep coming.

First you

and now my granddaughter

inherited this curse from me.

-It's not your fault, my love. -It's not,

-Mother. -Well, it feels like it.

I would give anything to spare you both.

I blamed myself, too,

when I first heard.

And I cried enough tears for all of us.

But Naomi doesn't want our tears or our guilt.

How's she holding up?

With grace.

But we didn't see the part where she fell apart.

And I- and I hate that she had to get here on her own.

Our poor girl.

I know it's a blow.

But when you see her,

the one thing she can't handle is us feeling sorry for her.

This is her journey,

and she's going to need all of us there to help her,

whatever comes

and on her terms.

We're here for whatever she needs.

Well, I am not going to hide my fear from her.

And I will cool it on the pity.

But for now...

Mother...

let it out.

(crying)

-I haven't changed? -IZAIAH: Mm.

The man I used to be wouldn't have called you at all.

Good job. You get points for attendance.

(Izaiah scoffs)

What do you want from me, Izaiah?

For us to communicate.

You and your father didn't.

We haven't.

C-Can you stop dictating and-and just be my pops

here in the present,

so we can break that cycle?

Is that what you learned from that fancy college?

I-I learned it long before that.

But... but, yeah,

yeah, I've-I've seen tons of kids

come through my office doors,

pushed to the limit by their parents' expectations.

I-I got to teach 'em how to set those aside

and focus on what's right for them,

just like I had to with you.

Okay.

You want the real?

When you were all torn up about Eva being in the hospital...

...I was struck about how big of a distance it was between us.

And to reach across that and hug my son,

even for a hard minute, let me know it was time

to close that gap of good.

Now, I know that I'm overdue for saying this, Izaiah,

but I am happy that you found something that you're good at,

that's rewarding and respectable.

That's all I ever wanted for you, son.

For all of my boys.

Hmm. Can I warm you up or are you still heading out?

Pour away.

Thank you.

So, uh...

You think the, uh...

the Commanders got a chance this year?

(chuckles softly)

I hope so.

Ah.

-Hey. -Hey. Heading out?

No. I'm about to scrub in with Dr. Singh in a bit.

Mm.

What's up with the smile?

What smile?

Is Eva right? Is that Ted-inspired?

(laughs)

I hate that it's this obvious.

I'm glad things are going well, friend.

-I didn't know that I could have this. -Mm.

Now you know.

Ah. You know, Ted said that...

Know what? Nope. I don't want to talk about it.

I don't want to jinx it.

Then don't. I respect a little self-protect.

Ted said he's falling in love with me,

and then I said it back. I mean, not right away,

because I freaked out first,

but then I pulled the trigger.

-That's a big step. Congrats. -(chuckling)

(elevator doors open)

Uh, I have a patient, and you have Nicole.

(Shanice clears throat)

I was just thinking about you.

-Oh, yeah? -How was Dallas?

Dallas was good,

but I was ready to get home.

I like that you call Barrington County home now.

I know a huge part of your heart

is still in California with your boys.

Well, who knows?

Maybe one day, they'll move closer.

In the meantime, I'm still getting newly acquainted

with my, uh, amenities.

Am I one of those perks?

Oh, you're a lot more than that.

Hmm.

Come to my office and show-and-tell me more.

I know the Red Market investigation cost you.

You're still spending all your spare time

tracking down the Impaler.

That's not why I'm turning down the Jessup thing.

I have a few other things going on that I can't get into

that I need to focus on.

I can't go dark for that long.

Understood.

I just wanted you to have first dibs.

-If you change your mind... -I won't.

But thanks, Marcel. For real.

(Anita sniffling)

I'm done. (shuddering)

-Mother, you pulled through this. -(sniffles)

And Naomi and I are not sick.

We cannot get worked up

over something that has yet to happen

or, God willing, may never happen at all.

Listen to your wise husband.

Yeah, I'm good. I'm good.

Vernon, don't you have a dean to talk to about a lecture?

-(sniffles) -And I would love some time with Mom.

-I thought you had plans for lunch. -No, I told Pamela

to take the meeting without me.

Very well.

But my phone is on.

Go.

I love you, woman.

I love you, too.

(chuckles softly)

Why must all three of us have it?

We are all warrior women.

And that's why we're gonna survive this.

Naomi is going to have to do what you're already doing.

Never miss an appointment or a screening.

Be proactive.

Well, that isn't an issue.

Except that it is.

Naomi is researching every aspect of this thing.

Well, just like you did when you first found out.

You went, you had your mammogram,

and you talked to the doctors about all the options.

Oh, she is doing that with a vengeance.

Why do you say that like it's a bad thing?

I am trying to respect Naomi's boundaries,

and I came by this information secondhand.

There isn't anything a parent isn't privy to

when it concerns their children.

Or grandchildren.

You're right.

And you need to know this because she needs

that Anita Dupree guidance.

Mother, Naomi is planning on getting a double mastectomy.

And you have to talk her out of it.

Well, well.

I don't see any signs of an actual dustup.

So how'd it go?

No fisticuffs. I'd say we made it to a slight thaw.

Well, that's a lot further than I thought you'd get.

At least it was something.

-That's good to hear, Pops. -Yeah.

Look, I got to go. But I wanted to say

sorry I couldn't take that case.

What case?

The undercover thing at Jessup.

Oh, don't give that another thought.

You got enough on your plate.

-Thanks, Pops. -Mm-hmm.

I'll see you.

Hey.

What the hell is wrong with you?

Bad lunch?

-Your reflux acting up? -Trying to rope Jacob

into going undercover.

You can't baby him 'cause he's your kid.

He's a man.

And he's good at what he does.

-You can't hold him back. -I'll decide when he's ready.

I don't want my son shanked in the shower at Jessup.

Look, from now on, anything come across your desk,

you bring it to me first.

I'm the chief, and don't you forget it again.

(door opens)

How was PT?

Shanice does not play.

Okay. So tell me about your dad.

No one's sick or dying.

-Okay. -But...

I don't know what Pops and I are.

I mean, one minute, we're back to the same old fight.

The next, he was telling me he's proud of me.

That's a good thing, isn't it?

I'm not 100% sure I can believe it.

You know? But in the past,

anytime we inch toward something,

Pops returns to form.

Okay, but why would he put in all this effort

if he wasn't for real?

I just feel like there has to be something else at play here.

No, I get it.

Look, I know Mama loves me something fierce,

but she's always working an angle.

Maybe just do what I do.

What's that?

You keep on keeping on in good faith.

And the second he makes a move that doesn't feel right,

you shut it down, and then you haven't lost anything.

But...

if he's really in,

having a halfway decent relationship with your father

isn't the worst thing, is it?

In addition to being the baddest woman on the planet...

(chuckles softly) ...you're pretty damn brilliant.

Are you just now figuring that out?

(chuckles)

Come here.

-Mmm. -Mmm.

Mmm.

(chuckling softly)

I might just have to go away again

to get a home welcoming like that.

Don't you dare.

I missed you.

I missed you.

How was your week?

Uh, way too eventful.

I thought I was done with being surprised,

but life has other plans.

You're talking about Ted and Shanice.

You know, it's okay if you want to talk about them.

What about them?

I thought you knew.

Knew what?

Kial...

Ted and Shanice, they've gotten to the L-O-V-E stage.

I'm so sorry.

I didn't mean to hit you with another surprise.

No, no, no. I'm-I'm glad you told me.

I didn't mean to blindside you.

Don't worry about it.

Are you okay?

They have been together for a while now.

It's the natural next step.

(sighs) I don't know why I feel so strange

hearing that he's in love with someone else.

Well, you were married for years.

Of course you're gonna have some kind of feelings.

Or were you mourning what you had?

Were you holding out hope for you and Ted?
