-Hey.
-Hey!

What you got?

Oh, Tatum's
new spring collection.

I'm looking it over
before our meeting today.

Right. Right.

Uh, anything catching your eye?

Everything. She's created
some really beautiful pieces.

How'd the game go
with Ted and Carlton?

It was cool. Yeah, we won.

That's it?

You are usually much more cocky
about your youthful advantage.

It's just basketball.

You okay, Andre?

I'm fine.

-Phone.
-Uh-uh.

We don't do that.

-What's wrong?
-(sighs)

Uncle Ted and I
had a talk earlier

about my past

and how life was for me
after my parents died.

I don't know.
I guess it's put me in a mood.

That's not normal postgame talk.

What do you think
brought that on?

I've been reflecting a lot
lately.

Yeah. On my parents.

Um, life pre-you.

And it's been heavy on my mind.

The man I became
after their accident...

...and the man
you see right now,

they-they couldn't be
further apart.

The lies you tell.

(sighs)

That face is gorgeous as ever.

You know I wouldn't judge you
for your past, right, Andre?

When I was...

running around
different countries

and partying with whoever
would give me a spark,

I did some things
that I was not proud of.

Haven't we all?

-(sighs)
-But I know all that

-and I'm here, aren't I?
-(door closes)

-Dani, you don't know
everything, okay? I... -CHELSEA: Mom,

-you were right.
-Of course I was.

-(chuckles)
-About what?

Hayley.

Last I heard,
you were island-bound.

And yet here you are
in front of me.

What happened, Mrs. Hamilton?

We hit a little bump
in the road.

With the way
things have been going,

that road is not paved at all.

Bill's worried about traveling

when he still doesn't have the
answers for his health issues.

And you changed his mind.

This cannot be happening.

Bill has to take his
last breath in the Caribbean,

-not Fairmont Crest.
-Don't you think I know that?

Then what are you doing
to get him on the damn plane?

You need
to figure something out.

Have I failed us before?

This wasn't supposed
to be a whole operation.

You know what, you are acting
like a loser, Randy.

Have a little faith.

Okay? I got Bill.

Yeah.

And so does fifty-leven
other people

who actually care about him.

That couldn't have gone
any better.

Judge Collier approved
my motion

to have the case
against Ms. Strauss dismissed.

That'll be a huge relief
for her and her family.

Yeah, indeed.

And now that this afternoon's
hearing has been pushed,

I'm gonna head out
and take a breather.

Uh, actually,
I was hoping we could talk.

Okay.

Well, don't tell me

some other firm is trying
to steal you away from me.

(chuckles softly)
This isn't about work.

I was wondering,

is everything okay
with you and Hayley?

Excuse me?

It's just...
(sighs)

I noticed she hasn't been around
as much and...

-I miss our catch-up sessions.
-Ah.

Your gossip sessions, you mean.

Yeah, Hayley was only holding on
to her paralegal job

to, I don't know, maintain
some sense of independence.

But she's feeling
a lot more confident

in who she is these days.

It's a good thing.

What is it, Caroline?

I ran into Chelsea last night.

She told me she was concerned

Hayley wasn't being
attentive enough to you.

Huh.

Well, Chelsea
shouldn't have done that.

I apologize on her behalf.

Now, if you'll excuse me...

Bill, I...

I just wonder
if she has a point.

You've been an amazing boss
and mentor to me.

I just want to return the favor.

Oh, by making my marriage
your business?

(sighs)

I've always had your back
and kept your confidences.

You know that.

Yeah, I do.

So tell me,

do you ever wonder
if Hayley is as...

devoted as she should be?

Do you think I'm blind
to what's happening in my life?

Hmm?

I'm Bill Hamilton.

I'm nobody's fool.

? ?

(sighs)

(line rings)

Hi. What are you up to?

Just grabbing a bite. You?

I wanted to see
when you'd be free again

so that we can finish
our conversation.

Without Leslie
interrupting this time.

How about now?

Orphey Gene's.

Sure.

Thank you so much
for meeting me.

It's not like I had a choice.

It's important.

What's it gonna take for you
to understand that I'm busy

and I can't just drop everything

when you have
a so-called emergency?

What is it now?

Your daughter.

She's drowning and she needs you
to throw her a raft.

Is that emergency enough
for you?

-What do you know?
-So I started thinking

about Dad's circle and who else
could have possibly noticed

something's off with Hayley.

I mean, we can't be
the only ones with suspicions.

Suspicions like what?

That Bill's half-pint ho of
a wife is stepping out on him.

(chuckles, mutters)

She's definitely given me
the eye before.

Say what? Come again?

Can we please get back
to the matter at hand?

I went to Caroline.

Caroline's a vault.

Well, about Dad, yes,
but I kept things low-key.

I asked how things were going

-since she sees Hayley
on the regular. -And she spilled?

Well, she said Hayley
has basically ghosted her.

Huh. But wasn't Caroline
Hayley's maid of honor?

Undoubtedly done for Bill.

To make sure his precious bride
didn't get embarrassed.

Well, regardless,
they became actual friends, Mom.

And now Caroline is saying

that she hardly sees Hayley
in the office.

So if Hayley isn't hanging out
with Caroline

and-and isn't present with Dad,

then she's got to be
entertaining another man

on the side.

What exactly did Caroline say?

She sort of shut down

-when I pressed the issue.
-ANDRE: Hmm.

So maybe
she doesn't know anything.

Or she's choosing not to talk.

I used to think the world
of Caroline.

Always smiling in my face,
complimenting me.

Then, as soon as I turned
my back,

she'd be running off to Bill

to hand him the shovel
to cover his dirt.

So we can't trust her?

I would think twice.

Caroline is loyal
to her own advancement,

which means she's staying loyal
to your father.

Do you think
Hayley's cheating on you?

Of course not.

But I am obviously aware
of our age difference

and the health issues
I've been having.

You think it's more
than she bargained for?

Oh, uh, yeah, it's possible.

You know, Hayley's young.
She's vibrant.

She wants to go out,
take vacations, be spontaneous.

And instead she's been spending
half her time worried about me

and the other half
completely on her own.

You know, things just-

they're not exactly the same
as when we first got married.

I mean, I'm no expert,

but isn't that how it goes?

You, you settle
into the day-to-day,

and the excitement
and passion stabilizes.

Not all the time.

You know, especially when one
partner is cooling the flame.

You know, I'd understand
if Hayley's getting a little,

I don't know, restless.

Are you even still happy
with Hayley?

I know you're coming
from a good place

and that we've developed a more
familial relationship, but...

...you need to stay out
of my marriage.

I didn't mean to overstep.

I won't have
this conversation again.

Are we clear?

Perfectly.

You need to think of every
possible route this can take

and have a plan in place.

And you need to relax.

I will keep working Bill and get
him to St. Bart's, okay? Damn.

How?

What if he knows your game now?

He doesn't.

Like Sid didn't?

You did not say that name.

Yeah, I did.

Because you've got tunnel vision
when it comes to Bill.

-Just like with S...
-Don't go there.

We already there, cuz.

If it wasn't for Lynette
calling me that night-

But she did, okay?

And we are here
to not tell the tale.

So move on.

You got arrogant,

you got distracted,

and you thought
Sid wasn't paying attention.

Cuz, that man...

...damn near killed you.

Which is why we only go after
men who have things to lose now.

Bill is nothing like Sid.

For all his accolades
and showboating,

that man is simply a guy

whose brain
doesn't make decisions for him

when I'm around.

It's time to pivot.

Because Bill is turning out
to be a tougher case.

So you need to be ready

in case he doesn't go along
like he usually does.

You just make sure you have
things covered on your end.

I'm getting my husband
on that plane.

I don't think we've been here
together since our dessert date.

Oh. Not our usual go-to spot,

but it's perfect for today.

Why is that?

An unusual place

equals an unusual date.

-Hi, Dad.
-BILL: Can you meet me at the club?

Um, yeah.

What's going on?

See you soon.

He wants me
to meet him at the club.

Ooh, that Caroline works fast.

You think she snitched?

I think she ran directly to Bill

and told him
exactly what Chelsea said.

Maybe this is good, though.

Maybe Caroline
got through to him

and he wants to thank me.

My sweet darling girl,

Caroline 100% threw you
under the bus.

(stammers)
Don't let her get to you, Chelsea.

I'm sure, whatever it is,
you'll be fine.

Well, thank you for the vote
of confidence, Andre.

-I can handle this.
-Mm-hmm.

Yes, you can.

And you let me know
if you need me.

-Uh-huh.
-(laughing)

-I love you.
-Love you.

Sorry for the interruption.

I guess we can't escape
the drama around here.

(chuckles softly)

So what were you gonna tell me
earlier?

Yeah. Ah.
Don't you have to meet Tatum?

Oh. Crap.

I do.

Ooh. Uh...

(sucks air through teeth)

It's okay. You can go.

I don't want you to be late.

Listen to me, Andre.

I want you to know
that I love you

and that I would never hold
your past against you.

I accept you,

all of you,

as you are.

That's a relief.

What's going on with Eva?

It's that damn surgical scar.

Like...

she can't see anything past it.

My beautiful, loyal,
hardworking baby girl.

I mean, you-

we have to do something.

I'm sorry to hear that,
but unfortunately

this reaction
happens after surgery.

It's adjusting
to your new normal

inside and out. It takes time.

What good is it having
a-a surgeon as a father-

a plastic surgeon, at that-

if not for bypassing time?

I mean, come on.

You can help
make her feel better, Ted.

Dana, I can't.

You can't or you won't?

Because one of those seems
more unfeeling than the other.

I can't for several reasons

but primarily because
Eva doesn't need fixing.

She's a walking miracle who
just underwent a major surgery.

Her mind just needs to catch up.

We are all aware
of what she survived.

But all she can focus on
is that horrific scar

that makes her feel
like a monster.

You can change that.

I'm sorry.

I truly am, but you're wrong.

I can't.

RANDY:
Once you hit the island,

things are going to move fast.

So what's step one?

We'll get settled in
with some welcome drinks.

I'll make something tropical
and fruity

and add a mega dose
of toxin to his,

more than I've been doing here.

And then?

I will distract him however
I need to until he keels over.

Once he takes his last breath,

that's when I'll call
your guy on the island.

And he can fast-track
the cremation, right?

Without an autopsy and get you
a death certificate.

-Mm.
-But you'll need to make sure he's paid first.

And once Bill is gone,

what will you tell the family?

We were enjoying our vacation,

and out of nowhere
his heart stopped.

I mean,
they'll have questions, sure,

but they still won't be able
to prove a thing.

Without a body,
there's no crime to investigate.

Yep. And I'll be way too
devastated to come back here.

-(chuckles)
-You know, I'll just have to

fill my days with leisure

and a $10 million payout.

Five.

-$5 million payout.
-Right.

-Right.
-Right.

Soon as he's cold,

the cash won't sit stateside.

I'll move the funds
through offshore entities.

Your cut will come
through that structure.

Clean and quiet.

You know, there's also
our joint accounts, though,

-and the deed to our place here.
-Hey, hey.

Don't blow this
by getting greedy, okay?

You will have more than enough.

Right.

You are right.

Yeah, a drawn-out battle
over Bill's assets

will only make, uh,
dumb-as-dirt Dani

and her dense daughters
look at me sideways.

So, you know what,
I just got to get him there,

get it done,
and get on with my life.

Sounds good?

Sounds perfect.

Hey, Dad. How are you feeling?

Mm. Not too great.

Knowing that you've been voicing
your concerns about Hayley

to Caroline.

-I can explain.
-I expect you to.

Because we're gonna have
some words

about the line you crossed.

Let's have a seat.

Can we clear the air?

I know you were upset
when you found out

that Kial stayed the night.

That is your house, Nicole.

You can extend an invitation
to whomever whenever.

You do not owe me
an explanation.

Come on, Carlton.

This only works if we are honest
with each other.

Okay.

Well, the interesting thing
is that...

not too long after Leslie
dropped that information

about you and Kial,

I ran into your grandson.

Tyrell? What does he have
to do with this?

Well, he came looking
for some relationship advice,

and coincidentally
what I had to offer him...

...gave me some clarity
about you.

And us.

I'm listening.

I've always admired
and respected you, Nicole.

And I've always wanted
to be with you.

So when the opportunity
presented itself...

...I was willing to accept
whatever terms you set.

As long as it gave me you.

But?

But this arrangement
isn't working for me anymore.

I don't want to think
about you with another man,

especially if that man is Kial

and we have to see each other
and work together.

It's all starting
to feel a little familiar.

Like when you worked with Ted.

Exactly like that.

It's starting to look
like a pattern that...

...I'm just not comfortable
with.

So if you want
to continue seeing each other...

...and exploring
what this could be,

I think it's time
that you put me first.

-(phone rings)
-Oh.

Hayley. Hi.

Uh, are you trying
to reach Bill?

He left to meet Chelsea.

Hmm. No,
I'm actually calling for you.

Really?

I was just, uh, telling Bill
earlier how I miss seeing

your gorgeous face around here.

Aw, thank you.

But get used to it

because we are going
to St. Bart's for the week.

I need you to clear
his schedule.

Uh... that's great.

But he didn't mention it to me.

Oh, I wonder why.

We are very excited
about this trip.

Should Bill be traveling right
now given his medical condition?

Is that wise?

Caroline, clear
his damn schedule.

(sighs)
I'm so sorry, girl.

As you can hear,
I desperately need a vacation.

Can you please clear
his schedule

so I can help him and myself

escape from this mountain
of stress we've been under?

We both really need to get away.

Yeah.

I will. Right away.

Dad, I really don't see
the issue.

You never cared about me talking
to Caroline before.

Well, you weren't maliciously
going behind my back before.

I didn't have reason to.

Okay, listen, sweetheart,

it is not appropriate for you
to take personal matters

to my assistant.

If you have a problem,
you need to come directly to me.

I have.

We all have.

On several occasions.

But it doesn't seem
to make a difference.

Well, then that should let you
know exactly how I feel.

I-I don't get you guys.

Why can't you all respect
my stance?

Dad, it's not that
we aren't respecting you.

I just don't think
you're hearing us.

We have a unique vantage point
that you don't.

Oh, yeah?
Oh, enlighten me, then.

What am I missing?

Hayley is playing you.

She is not the person
you think she is.

DANI:
Hiya.

Ms. Dupree,
what can I do for you?

You're already doing it, honey.

(chuckles)
Um, sorry?

Just know I'm rooting for you.

Shoot, if I took a poll,

I bet half the town
is rooting for you.

You have to forgive me.

I have no idea
what you're talking about.

(chuckles)
Right, right.

Listening ears.

You don't have
to play coy with me.

I know what you
and Hayley are up to.

(chuckles)

I see I caught you off guard,
Sammy.

Or is it Randy?

-Which one is it exactly?
-(stammering)

-I, uh...
-It doesn't matter.

Rest assured,

I have no judgment.

I am all for y'all
scratching that itch.

Wait, y-you think me
and Mrs. Hamilton are...

(laughing)

I have no idea
where you got that from.

(chuckles)

You think I'm opposed?

I'm not.

Look at the smile on my face.

Listen to the joy in my voice.

Nothing would make me happier
than you and Mrs. Shamilton

riding off into the sunset
and living happily ever after.

(sucks air through teeth)

Ooh. That's my lunch date.

You'll have to excuse me.

But, listen,
you keep having your fun, okay?

Wear her all the way out.

(Dani chuckles)

(scoffs)

I think she's having an affair.

(chuckles)

Hayley? Cheating on me?

I've seen her out
with that guy Sammy.

And Mom has, too.

I can tell
there's something going on.

Are you talking about
the same guy that helped Hayley

in her darkest moment?
The same guy I met?

Come on, Chelsea. Stop.
(scoffs)

That's reckless and stupid.

That's exactly how she was
with you.

And you obviously didn't think
you would get caught.

Careful.

(sighs)
Just think about it, Dad.

Hayley has a pattern
of wanting attention from men.

She's flirted with Andre,
and Gran even clocked a moment

between her and Jack Abbott's
son after the tornado.

Hayley is an attractive woman.

Flirting is harmless.

Oh, my God. Will you open
your freaking eyes?

Chelsea, I love you, baby,

but Hayley is my wife,

and this is not your business
or Caroline's or anyone else's.

You understand?
I don't need your help.

-But, Dad...
-I will talk to you later, sweetheart.

(sighs)

I can't believe that you would
turn your back on your daughter,

especially when she needs you
the most.

I am not.

(scoffs) God, shame on me
for expecting better.

Not like you haven't done it
before.

You know damn well
I never knew about Eva.

And now that I do, I would
never turn my back on her.

It is neither appropriate
nor wise

for me to operate
on my own daughter.

Inappropriate but not illegal?

It is also entirely too early
after the surgery

for Eva
to go under the knife again.

-It is neither smart nor wise.
-(protests)

It is a bad idea, Dana.

What options do we have?

None that we can even consider

until the incision
is fully healed.

We can't just wave
some magic wand

and expect the scar
to be erased.

So what am I supposed to do,

just sit back and watch her
suffer emotionally?

I worked damn hard

to establish a relationship
with Eva.

To let her know
that she could trust me.

I will not ruin it
by lying to her,

nor will I promise her
a solution that'll make her

even more disappointed
than she already is now.

You'd try harder
if you'd seen her, Ted.

She says she's scared.

She doesn't even feel
like herself anymore.

Like she's maimed.

This is why emotional support

is more important
than plastic surgery.

Yes, she's scarred.

But without the transplant
that caused it,

she would've died.

I was planning
this ski trip for us,

you know, with
this-this new lease on life,

because I wanted to show
my baby girl the world.

(chuckles softly)

But she doesn't feel comfortable
in her own skin, Ted.

It's like she's,
she's losing confidence.

And this is
not some superficial response.

I really hate the impact
this is having on her.

Does that mean that...

that you'll do the surgery?

No, it doesn't.

And you call yourself
a good father.

You are a disgrace.

You don't get to say
what you want and storm off.

We're not done here. Sit down.

Sit yo...

Sit down.

It has been far too long
since we've connected in person.

I agree.

Video just doesn't do
your face justice.

-Oh. (laughs)
-(chuckles)

Have you had a chance to look
at the spring collection?

I have studied every detail
of this collection.

I cannot wait to wear it.

-So you like the line?
-Absolutely.

-I love it.
-Mm. (chuckles)

I appreciate that.

But I didn't collab
with Dani Dupree

for her dazzling beauty alone.

You know this business.

What do you really think?

Oh, I-I've been the model

and I have been
the model's manager,

but I have never been
the designer.

I don't feel comfortable
giving critiques.

Permission granted.

I value insight and constructive
feedback from my audience.

Sometimes I even take it.

-(laughs)
-(chuckles)

So, really,
if you have any thoughts

on how to make the collection
stronger,

I'm all ears.

Mom sent you here
to check on me?

Ha ha.
(chuckles)

No, contrary to what
people may think,

Dani and I are not tuned into
the Bill Hamilton station 24-7.

I left my watch
in the locker room.

But it looks like the
conversation didn't go too well.

He wouldn't even let me explain.

That man will go to the end
of the earth to defend Hayley,

when it's clear
she's up to no good.

Okay, this might sound
a little strange coming from me,

but have you ever looked at it
from his perspective?

Bill's a defense attorney.

Making excuses for people
is his M.O.

And I know we don't like it,
but Hayley is his wife.

Which is what he said
when he basically told me

to mind my business
and stay out of it.

Mm. And are you?

It's just so frustrating that
he wouldn't even hear me out.

Like it's so impossible
to believe

that maybe, just maybe,
I'm right.

Bill is a man with an ego.

He's not gonna admit that.

I know I wouldn't.

(phone buzzing)

(door closes)

(sniffs)

Oh, yeah. That's perfect.

Thanks so much.

Hey, honey.

I didn't even hear
the door open.

-What a nice surprise.
-(grunts)

Yeah. I, uh...

I just decided
to leave work early.

I thought
we could use some time together.

Aw. My considerate man.

-Yeah.
-I called the office,

and Caroline said
you were out with Chelsea.

-How'd it go?
-Eh.

That bad?

(chuckles)

Well, may as well get it out
in the open.

Chelsea thinks
you're having an affair.

An affair?

First they accuse me of not
caring enough about your health.

Now an affair?

I swear, they are just
grasping at straws.

-Yeah, yeah, tell me about it.
-Why would Chelsea

even say that?

Who does she think
I'm cheating with?

Well, apparently
you've been seen out with him.

Sammy.

(scoffs)

Now, I'm not trying
to pressure you.

I would just be doing myself
a disservice

if I didn't speak up.

I'm glad that you did.

I asked you to be open
about how you felt.

Well...

...are you as ready as I am
to make us the priority?

NICOLE:
I know that I have been unfair.

I knew
that you were interested in me,

and I knew that you couldn't
act on it because of Ted.

And I was flattered when you
tried again after the divorce.

(chuckles softly)
Took a brother a long time to shoot his shot.

Being with you has allowed me
to discover who I am on my own.

And I have enjoyed every minute
of my time with you.

So have I.

You are patient and considerate.

You pay attention
to the tiny details.

You care.

But I have been honest about
what I am able to give you.

And if that's
no longer enough...

...I have to respect that.

The last thing I want to do
is hurt you, Carlton.

You are too good a man.

Well, I can't say
I wasn't expecting that answer.

(chuckles softly)

I actually prepared myself
for that.

Even if I was hoping
for something else.

I am sorry, Carlton.

I just need you
to answer one question.

All right, and-and I need you
to be totally honest.

Anything.

Why Kial over me?

On with it, Mr. Big and Bad.
What do you need to say?

I understand that Eva
is in a delicate place.

But, again, it is not uncommon
for patients to struggle

after they've had surgery
that alters their appearance.

It's like she doesn't
even recognize herself.

Which is why I say
she needs emotional support.

Think about it. One minute
she's at a fundraiser.

The next minute
she's waking up badly injured,

having almost died.

Thank God her life
was spared, but...

Her body was changed forever.

And she was completely unaware.

It's a lot to adjust to.

She's in turmoil, Ted.

This is why psychological
assessments are done first.

The patient must show they are
in a healthy mental state

and not under any sort
of influence or duress.

It is clear that Eva is not
in her best mind right now.

Are you trying to say
she's crazy?

-What? No.
-You know what, forget

that I ever asked you
for anything.

I did not call...

our daughter crazy.

Do you think
that you're the only one?

The one and only doctor?

No. I will find another doctor,

and at least I'm sure
he will hear us out.

And I'm also sure
that he'll give more of a damn

than her own daddy.

In fact, maybe it'll be the man

who's been keeping your ex warm.

Carlton's good enough
for Nicole.

I am so sure
he'll be good enough for me.

You and Kial are
two completely different men

with your own strengths.

And his more aligns with yours?

Kial is a true fresh start.

It's easier being with somebody
who you don't have history with.

There's no expectations,
no pressure.

We just... are.

But you two are exclusive
with each other?

Neither one of us
is dating anyone else right now,

but that could change.

He is good with being fluid
for as long as I need.

What? What is it?

I just don't think
your situation is as fluid

as you believe.

And this isn't me being
unwilling to accept your choice.

This is about me knowing
exactly who I am.

And wanting to give
all of myself to one woman.

And I want
the same clarity for you.

What makes you think
I'm unclear?

Well, you say
that you want to be free

and you don't want
to be committed to anyone.

And you were married
for a long time,

and you deserve
to explore all of yourself.

But from where I'm sitting...

...it doesn't seem like you
just don't want to be tied down.

It's that...

...you don't want to be tied
to me specifically.

And I'm not judging.

Or hating.

Just...

trying to help a friend
see something that...

might be a little blurry.

So you want to remain friends?

Woman, that ain't
never gonna change.

I am Team You all day,

every day.

I sincerely hope

you get everything
that you want, Carlton.

-Oh, I will. (chuckles)
-(chuckles)

I'm a good man, remember?

(sighs)

I'll see you around, Nicole.

I will see you around.

Why would I cheat on the best
thing that's ever happened to me

with the person
who reminds me of the worst?

I take one look at Sammy
and I am instantly transported

-to the most traumatizing thing
I've ever been through. -Okay, yeah, yeah.

Okay. Don't worry.
I didn't buy into it.

I just cannot win with them.

And for Chelsea to drop this
on you today of all days.

Yeah. Yeah.

It's been one year since...

(exhales)
since we lost our baby.

-You remembered?
-Yeah.

That's part
of why I left work early.

I just figured
you could use a little,

I don't know, extra loving.

You are so good to me.

(sighs):
Oh, man.

I just wish your family
would stop looking for the bad.

After all this,
all we've been through,

they are never gonna forgive me
for stealing you from Dani.

Ah, well,

don't worry about them,
all right?

All that matters is us.

Do you know
how it feels to be me?

How it feels to have everyone
just constantly judging you?

Constantly looking
for the worst. Huh?

No.

But you're not alone,
Hayley, okay?

-I'm here for you, baby.
-I...

I've tried to ignore it,

tried to not let their
misunderstandings get to me,

but I am sick of it, Bill.

I am. And...

(sighs)

I just can't stay here anymore.

And, look, I-I know you have
reservations about our trip,

but, baby, please,

I can't be here right now.

I need to go to St. Bart's.

Okay, so the florals
and the length of this dress

make it perfect for spring,

but if you add a little ruching

and some delicate ruffles
at the bottom,

that'll really set it apart.

You don't think the ruffles
are too juvenile

-for our demo?
-Mm-mm. No, no, no.

If you just make sure
they're at the bottom

and that the skirt flows
seamlessly into the trim,

then that makes it
more romantic, less sweet 16.

Okay. What else?

Uh... Oh, this blouse.

Love the fabrication, and
it's clear that you designed it

so that it flatters every body.

Then what's your addition?

Pantone has
their Color of the Year.

So can I.

Lean into what you're already
doing with the jewel tones

and the deep necklines-

this blouse goes from something
you can wear to work

to something you work.

-Ooh. Okay.
-Okay? (laughing)

Dani, that's really great stuff.

I will take all of this
under advisement.

Well, thank you
for even listening.

I am well aware
that you don't have to.

Well, I told you,
working with me

means more
than just wearing the clothes.

I'm learning that.

Hmm, you know,

I always knew Andre had an eye.

Turns out, you do, too.

You and the mister,
you're quite the couple.

We sure as hell are.

I'm surprised
to hear you say that.

Even if I had a tiny suspicion
that Dani was dipping out on me,

I wouldn't say it out loud.

I'd give her the benefit of
doubt because she's earned it.

Well, of course,
because my mom isn't Hayley.

But if she was cheating,
wouldn't you want to know?

I wouldn't give energy
to speculation.

-Men need hardcore facts,
Chelsea. -(chuckles softly)

I'd like to think you'd defend
Madison the same way.

Oh, I definitely would.
But that's because

we're in
healthier relationships.

We have partners
that don't keep things from us

and don't have
deep, dark secrets.

Anyway, I need to go.

And, uh, sorry about bursting in
on you and Mom earlier.

Looked like you were
in the middle of a conversation.

Nah, that's cool.

It's nothing
we can't pick up later.

-(phone chimes)
-Uh...

Are you okay?

You look like
you just saw a ghost.
