Huh. What is this?

-Why didn't you wake me? -Well, it's breakfast,

and I wanted to let you sleep in.

Went all out, I see.

Yeah, well, I'm nobody's Top Chef,

but I hope I at least get an A for effort.

-A+. -Yeah, that's what I like to hear.

I even got that healthy whole-grain mess

you've been forcing on me.

I see that.

I hope sleeping in made you feel

a little better about everything?

Mm, spending the night with your big, strong arms

wrapped around me always makes me feel good.

Good enough to change your mind?

-Eh, it wasn't that restorative. -Mm-hmm.

Okay? I can live the rest of my life

in your arms, but I, unfortunately,

can't in our beautiful home anymore.

I still need to go to Saint Barts, Bill.

We both do.

Okay, so, as I was saying,

Tatum was so receptive to my ideas,

unlike most of the designers I've worked with.

Fools they are, ignoring your experience and eye for fashion.

It was such a nice change of pace to feel like

I'm not just a living mannequin.

Which you clearly are not.

I pity the fool who underestimates you.

Fools like Failey?

Mm.

The current Mrs. Hamilton is many things,

but even she wouldn't sleep on the woman

who pulled a gun on her at her wedding.

She thought she could hide her cheating ways from me.

She forgot that I have a doctorate

in spotting infidelity courtesy of Bill Hamilton University.

Oh, actually, when I was here waiting for Tatum yesterday,

I ran into that little side piece, Randy.

Huh. Do tell.

I did exactly that.

I told him I am all about him screwing Hayley.

It's not every day you beat me to work.

I, uh, got a call from my source at the airport.

Turns out your sister's name appeared on the manifest

for a flight that landed this morning.

Well, tell me you followed up.

You know it.

I hightailed it to the airport and spotted Heather

getting into a car, so I followed her, discreetly.

She stopped for a coffee and went into a movie theater.

A movie theater?

My sister's hardly ever been a cinephile,

so I suspect that she spotted your discreet tail

and then ducked in there hoping that you'd do

exactly what you did, which is run and tell me.

I sent for Vinny and had him wait at the theater,

keep tabs on her for when she left.

Well, Vinny needs to make sure he's inside.

Heather could be meeting with a contact,

which, for all I know, is one of my own associates.

I wouldn't put it past her to try and flirt her way

into my organization.

♪ ♪

-Hey. -Hey, Smitty.

Hey, uh, thanks for joining me, man.

Well, you piqued my curiosity.

What's up?

I'm dealing with a bit of an unexpected situation,

one that I'm hoping an experienced

investigative journalist might be able to help me with.

I think I have managed to catch up on

everything in the office.

Hmm.

Well, I'm happy you're back to work.

You keep the place running so smoothly,

all I have to think about is showing up

and taking care of my patients.

Well, I love working with you and Carlton.

Hmm. And you're greatly appreciated.

But that's not what I wanted to talk to you about.

I understand you're having an issue

about your transplant scar.

Good morning, handsome.

How'd your consultation go?

Well, I was able to come up with a treatment plan

that will help my patient avoid surgery.

-That's great news. -It is, especially since

I was able to get it done so quickly.

But one night alone without you can put some thoughts

into my mind.

Can I, uh, show you what?

Actually, there is something

that I want to talk to you about.

It's important.

It's not like you to run away from a fight.

You know, even when Dani had the audacity to hit you,

you stood your ground.

-I remember. -Okay, then what changed, sweetheart?

It's not like my daughters' unfortunate attitude

-is anything new. -You know what,

their latest attack-- accusing me of having an affair--

that's the last straw.

Okay, then I'll talk to the girls again.

I'll make it crystal clear to them that they need

to treat my wife with the respect she deserves.

Okay, and when it doesn't work again,

especially now that Dani's hyping them up...

Okay, then I'll have to have another talk with Dani, too.

What else is new?

Seems like every time I turn around,

you're needing to have a talk with Dani.

You know, after a year of marriage,

I thought that you would have gotten over these insecurities.

Huh. Insecurities.

Don't try to gaslight me, okay?

If this was me simply being in my feelings,

I could eventually get past it.

But it's not that, because Dani's always

gonna be a part of our marriage.

-Hayley... -When I said "I do"

it was to you because I love you.

I didn't sign up to be part of a throuple.

I'm presuming Randy denied that he and Hayley

-were having an affair. -Mm-hmm.

He said I didn't know what I was talking about.

Which has me even more convinced that he's Hayley's sneaky link.

I just need to find the smoking gun.

More like smoking bed.

Bill will not believe this unless he has undeniable proof.

Why do you care?

He's the father of my children,

and I can't stand by and watch him be abused.

Come on, Dani.

Naomi and Chelsea are both grown

and don't need you running interference with their father.

He will always be a huge part of their lives.

But he doesn't have to be part of yours.

And you're living in your own glass house

when it comes to... cheating.

This should be a delicious slice of karma for you, but it's not.

So, I think the elevator liaison

meant a lot more to you than you're letting on.

How far are you willing to go

to keep your sister out of your business?

Let's hope neither one of us ever has to find out.

That's why I want to practice

-some preventative medicine. -(phone dings)

Whatever she has in mind, I want to nip it in the bud.

Vinny's three rows behind her.

Who's she with?

She's alone, eating a big tub of popcorn,

laughing her head off.

According to Vinny, the movie's "mad funny."

Except that Heather's sense of humor is "mad dark."

Anything that she would laugh at would probably

have Vinny crying in his popcorn.

So, what do you want us to do?

Heather may have a contact hiding in the building.

Have Vinny take a look around.

Whatever she's planning, it ends now.

Should I sit for this?

That might be a good idea.

I, uh, I got together with Carlton yesterday.

Well, you know, I'm fine with you seeing the both of us.

Yes, but...

Carlton has been in my life for decades,

as a dear friend.

Because of that, I've always felt

really comfortable with him.

But I have also enjoyed getting to know you in a different way.

You know what? You don't have to sugarcoat this, Nicole.

I get it. You...

You feel more comfortable with Carlton,

and I knew that you would have to eventually decide. I...

I'm not gonna lie, though, I am, I'm a little...

hurt that you didn't choose me.

-Wait. -No, it's...

Really, I'm fine, and I'm gonna cherish

all the time that we've had together.

Will you stop talking?

You're wrong about everything.

I'm fine, Dad.

Mama just caught me on a bad day.

Like, there's nothing to worry about, really.

Yeah?

You know, it's common for transplant patients

to struggle with their self-esteem during recovery.

Not only did you live through a near-death experience,

you had your liver removed and replaced

with a portion of Kat's?

Yeah, that happened, but...

All while you're unconscious.

Makes a big difference.

Transplants can be invasive and leave a large scar.

I understand.

Large? More like tremendous.

But-but it's not a thing, really, Dad.

Look-look, Kat's lucky, though.

Her surgery barely left a mark.

That's because it's laparoscopic.

It is much simpler for the donor than it is the recipient.

So, how do you really feel about your scar?

I don't want to sound ungrateful.

Look, I know the operation saved my life,

-and I wouldn't be here without it. -Hmm.

Plus, I'm-I'm healthy, so I-I'm thankful

for all of that, really.

And?

And...

...every time I look down at my body,

I get this shock.

A huge, jagged reminder

that a piece of the half sister who has always resented me

is inside of me.

The hell do you mean she disappeared?

Well, I thought you and Randy were coordinating,

so there would be eyes on her while you checked the building.

Well, obviously, I overestimated your abilities.

Now my sister could be anywhere with anyone.

Fix it.

I know that if I present proof, he will kick Hayley to the curb

and then we can all just step over her

and move on with the rest of our lives.

Who are you fighting to convince--

yourself or me?

I'm sorry to interrupt.

Vanessa.

I just had to come by and say hi.

Listen, I know it's in Dani's nature

to make everything about her.

Yeah, because you allow it.

But she's not a part of our relationship.

Can you look me in the eye

and tell me nothing she's said or done has gotten to you?

Look...

...you're my wife, and I--

I just don't want you leaving town, okay?

Even when it hurts me this much to stay here?

Day after day

of insults and attacks from your daughters--

one of whom used to be my best friend--

it hurts like hell, Bill.

Okay, I'm... I'm-I'm sorry.

I love you more than life.

Never doubt that.

But I need...

...to love myself a little more right now.

Prioritize my own mental health.

I'm leaving.

I'm going to Saint Barts, even if I have to go alone.

You make it sound like it's more than just a getaway.

You even plan on coming back?

Well, can you back it up a little bit? Because, I mean...

apparently, I'm misunderstanding everything.

Can you explain exactly what you mean?

What you and I have is fun.

And sexy and fresh.

And unlike any relationship I have ever had before.

I want to see what happens if we both go all in on it.

I'm not saying I'm ready for a long-term commitment.

But I am ready to make you the only man in my life.

That is, if that is what you want, too.

No, I-I really haven't thought about

how long I'm going to be in Saint Barts.

But you are booking a round-trip ticket?

Yes, with an open-ended return date.

I'm gonna miss you so much.

Uh, well, then don't go.

I have to get away, for my own well-being.

Uh, what about the staycation

we've been talking about?

What about that? We can do that now, right?

Come on, we could go to Highland Beach,

spend a couple days by the ocean.

Babe, listen, I-I know you're trying to help,

but I need to put a little more space than that

between me and Fairmont Crest.

Is it the town you want to get away from or our marriage?

Oh, come on. You know I want us

to spend the rest of our lives together.

That's why I'm taking this break.

Because I wouldn't want to put you in a position

where you have to choose between your wife

and your children.

Hey. Come here.

Well, I'll go pack.

Be on my way.

Hayley.

Wait.

Heather.

I didn't realize you were back in town.

Yeah, I just flew in from London.

Dani, this is Joey's sister.

-I didn't know he had one. -HEATHER: I didn't know

that you were friends with a world-famous supermodel.

You're even more beautiful in person.

Thank you. Aren't you sweet?

Forgive me, but I cannot pass this opportunity up.

I would love to ask for a selfie with the Dani Dupree.

-You don't mind, do you? -Of course not.

Thank you.

Let's see...

Oh, Vanessa, would you get in? I want you in it, too.

Don't forget to tag me when you post it.

Oh, this isn't for public consumption.

This is just to impress a few friends.

So, how do you two know each other?

Dani and I have been neighbors for ages.

Oh, well, there's neighbors

and then there's breakfast buddies.

Vanessa's one of my very best friends.

She has the deets on where all the bodies are hidden,

and vice versa.

-Oh. Well, that's good to know. -VANESSA: So, Heather,

how long are you in town?

Um, just a few days this trip.

Does Joey know you're here?

I didn't tell him, no, but I have an inkling he knows.

He... he kind of has his ways.

-He certainly does. -I couldn't imagine

going a day without talking to someone in my family.

-My sister's my best friend. -Oh.

I'm sorry you don't have that relationship

with your brother.

Well, I would love to be closer.

Matter of fact,

that dinner you offered me-- to have with you and Joey?

Let's make that happen.

Mmm.

One more time.

I choose you.

I'm never gonna get enough of that.

Or of you.

You know, now that we are exclusive,

you are gonna have to work so much harder to satisfy me.

It'll be my pleasure.

Thank you.

I'm going to be the only one...

-...to do this. -Hmm.

-Or see this. -Mm-hmm.

God, this exclusivity thing has serious advantages.

♪ Can I warm you up? ♪

♪ Can't fight that feeling ♪

♪ We're making love ♪

♪ Bodies on top of bodies, baby ♪

♪ Getting it on ♪

♪ You know I go ♪

♪ Till I can't no more ♪

♪ I can't ♪

♪ Can't, no, no, no. ♪

KIAL: So, how are things gonna change,

now that we're exclusive?

Well, you will have to get used to being my plus-one

and all Dupree events.

That's no problem.

I've already attended a family gathering with you, so, uh...

everyone seems to like me.

Well, that was when they thought you were just a passing fancy.

Now that we're serious, they are going to ratchet it up

and interrogate you like you are a suspect in a crime.

Especially after what happened with Ted.

My father is gonna want to make sure

that you treat his firstborn like a queen.

That's not gonna be a problem, because I already planned

on doing that.

Kat, who's already had issues

with some of the changes I've made in my life,

will definitely have questions.

And I'll answer.

Martin is very protective.

His tongue is like a rapier.

I will make it very clear to him that I will never hurt you.

And then there's Dani.

Dupree wild one.

You know, I-I have to be prepared for her for anything.

And I didn't mention my mother.

-She will... -Oh, bring on Anita.

And the whole family.

I want them to see how much I truly care about you.

Give it time.

Once the tissue has completely healed,

we can explore some experimental procedures,

like, uh...

to minimize the scarring, like laser resurfacing.

I already talked to Carlton about that.

You talked to Carlton?

Y-Yeah. I-I didn't want to bother you.

A-And I figured that he'd be more willing

to be straight with me.

What'd he say?

That there's nothing I can do right now,

and maybe even ever.

Look, it is way too early after surgery

to be thinking about some kind of cosmetic procedure.

Look, I-I've researched that it-it may fade over time.

Okay? A-And like you said,

maybe there are some things that I can do later on.

And that's all true.

But in the meantime, maybe we focus on

how you're handling it emotionally.

I know you are not about to suggest I go to therapy.

Why are you trying to track an unknown number?

Out of the blue, someone I haven't heard from in years

sent me a text,

and they implied that they might be in the vicinity.

And I assume this is somebody

you don't want to have any contact with?

You'd assume correct.

Okay.

Well, um...

there are apps that you can use to pinpoint a texter's location,

but you'd have to send them a link

and then hope that they click on it.

Nah, I can't text them back.

There has to be another option.

Well, law enforcement can probably access geodata

from the cell provider.

But there has to be a criminal investigation

or at least probable cause.

Has this person done anything illegal?

You didn't seem that eager

to have dinner with Joey and me before.

Oh. Well, I was headed out of town,

but I am here for a bit and I really want to lock this in.

My brother has not been in a serious relationship in ages.

I want to get to know you better.

Likewise, but I've learned better

than to try to make social plans for your brother.

I tried it once, it did not go well.

Oh, well, I'll be on my best behavior,

and I, uh, I think that you'll be able to persuade him.

I'm not saying that we'd surprise him or anything.

-Yeah. -I'm not so sure.

Really?

Well, Jojo's gonna, you know, grumble

and furrow his eyebrows,

but ultimately, he's gonna say yes.

He-he may not admit it, but he still has a soft spot

for his baby sister.

Jojo?

-You call the most dangerous-- -"Ly intriguing."

Dangerously intriguing man in the DMV "Jojo"?

Okay, okay-okay, my bad. I'm sorry, I let that one slip out.

Let's keep that between us.

Okay, ladies? Girl code.

I'm always down for a good secret.

Good.

So, is there a story behind that nickname?

Oh, yes.

You know, I was really into this oldies station,

heavy listening to Boz Scaggs,

and there was a song he had called "Jojo."

Ugh, I loved it.

And I think part of the reason the nickname stuck

was because Joey absolutely hated it.

I'm serious about dinner. Let's make that happen.

I'll suggest it.

Well, I need to get to a showing.

Great to see you, Heather.

Mm.

Um, Dani, talk soon?

Soonest.

I hope you're not going anywhere.

I don't know a lot of people in town.

I really enjoy chatting with you.

So do I.

Why don't I get us a round of mimosas?

Go for it. But the next round's on me.

Absolutely.

If you insist on going to Saint Barts,

then I'm damn well coming with you.

I don't want to pressure you into doing something

-you don't want to do. -Hayley.

I want to be wherever you are, okay?

And maybe while we're gone, we can figure out a way

to handle Chelsea and Naomi.

Put a stop to these ridiculous rumors about you and Sammy.

Well, my flight is scheduled to leave soon.

Okay, well, get a ticket for me, too.

I just have to stop by the office, grab some files.

Wait, you're going to work while we're away?

It's the only way I can go on this trip, baby.

Fine.

I will accept your briefs on the beach

as long as you let me take them off you at night.

Well, after business hours,

-I am all yours. -Mm.

Just the way I like it.

Thank you for doing this for me.

And me.

I love your bikinis.

Okay. Well, I will pack your suitcase

while you're at the office and meet you at the airport.

Okay. Can't wait.

Hey, what are you doing?

Getting a mimosa at Uptown. Why?

I have some good news

and I wanted you to be the first to know.

Well, technically, you're the third to know,

but you're the first person

who's actually not involved, so...

Okay, you are giddy.

This must be incredible news.

I told Kial and Carlton that I wanted

to be exclusive with Kial.

Oh.

I hope Carlton wasn't too devastated

when you broke up with him.

It was actually Carlton who told me

he wasn't comfortable with our arrangement anymore.

He was hit, but he took it in stride.

Says he wants to remain friends, so that's nice.

But I'm not surprised.

I always knew it would be Kial.

You did not.

Just because you couldn't see where things were going

doesn't mean that I couldn't.

I am too happy to argue with you this morning.

Well, let me finish up here and come over

so we can dish in much greater detail.

-Don't you dare. -Oh.

-Is number one there right now? -He is.

Enjoy yourself, Sissy.

Oh, I definitely will.

Hey, listen, I need to postpone today's deposition.

I'm heading out of town.

Already done.

-What? -Hayley called

to give me the heads-up.

I cleared your schedule.

I presume you want to take the discovery documents

for the class action?

You know me well.

Which is why I have to ask you if your doctor

has given you the all clear to travel right now.

Caroline, I appreciate your concern...

-But? -Listen,

I'm a grown man who knows his own body, all right?

And I'm going to be just fine.

Hayley and I have been hypervigilant about this,

and even she's okay with me going.

And besides, I owe her this. Okay?

You know, she's been struggling a lot.

And like you said, I don't want to ruin this marriage, too.

I hope you and Hayley have a good time.

Uh-huh. Thank you.

That's the plan.

I doubt blabbing to a stranger about myself for an hour

is gonna fix anything.

Never know until you try.

Which is still not a reason to.

Okay, just book one session.

If it helps...

If it doesn't, you never have to go back again.

I don't even know how to find a therapist.

Okay, I can ask Nicole

to recommend someone with experience in those issues.

Maybe a younger woman.

Somebody you can vibe with.

I'll think about it.

If you promise to never use the word "vibe" again.

Look, I...

I better get to Phoenix Street.

I have a meeting scheduled with one of the clinic's suppliers.

All right.

I'll see you later, honey.

Yeah.

The texter didn't commit any crimes against me, per se.

That is intriguingly vague.

I didn't mean to be.

Well, you failed.

It kind of feels like you're hiding something.

-I'm just, uh... -Hey, neph, Smitty.

-Hey, what's up, Unc? -I don't see you guys

hanging out too often. What's going on?

Uh, you know, just talking to Smitty,

getting a little professional advice, right?

-Ah. -Yeah. You remember the journalist

I told you about who wants to do the piece on Dani

and also talked to me?

I'm just making sure I don't put my foot in my mouth.

-Ah. -Yep.

Yeah. Sounds like a good idea.

Yeah. I'll leave you guys to it.

-ANDRE: Yeah. -All right.

If you are lying to your uncle,

this text kind of feels like a big deal.

What's really going on?

Let me put it this way.

If you can't tell me where my sister is within the hour,

losing your job will be the least of your worries.

Well, this is a nice surprise.

Glad to see you, too... Jojo.

-What did you call me? -Heather warned me

that you hated that nickname, but I couldn't resist.

Oh, you saw Heather?

Where?

I ran into her at Uptown

while I was having breakfast with Dani.

Apparently, she's back in town.

I knew she was back, I just didn't know where.

Yeah, she alluded to you knowing she was back.

Oh, did she, now?

What else did my sister say?

Well, that she wants us all to have dinner together.

You up for it?

♪ ♪

I just called Dani to update my relationship status.

Did she approve?

She says that she knew that this is exactly

-how things were gonna turn out. -Mm.

Which is exactly what I wanted

since our first date to WinterFest.

Hmm.

This really feels good.

Not having to put up an emotional wall

to keep things casual.

It does feel good.

-Mm. -Patience.

It's very rewarding.

Are you ready to be rewarded again?

Mm.

It's not a big deal.

It's just someone I met during my years

when I was traveling who doesn't fit into my new life

as a responsible married man.

-Uh-huh. -Yeah.

They probably just sent me that text

to see if they could get a response out of me.

Yeah, so, if I don't text back, if I ignore it,

that should send a clear message that I'm not gonna engage.

Yeah? And that should be the end of that.

And if it is not,

is this someone who could cause issues for you?

Or the family?

If this could affect Martin's campaign...

...I need to know.

It won't.

There's no reason why anyone should know

about this conversation, Smitty.

It's just someone from my past who I want to keep in the past.

-Here we are. -Thank you.

To...

-my dazzling new friend. -and to mine.

Flying to the States for a few days, huh?

From London? The height of glamour.

Oh, well, don't make too much of it.

I'm strictly a behind-the-scenes kind of gal.

Even behind-the-scenes London is incredible.

I spent a lot of time there as a model and then again

when I was managing my daughter Chelsea.

Sometimes I regret not taking the duke up on his offer.

Well, now, this is a story that I must hear.

He jokingly offered to sell me his peerage title

so that I could fund the repairs on his centuries-old estate.

-I could be Duchess Dani right now. -Oh!

That was back when I was in, um...

oh, Amelia Fairchild's fashion show.

Amelia Fairchild?

-You know Amelia? -I do.

A few years ago I invested in her fashion house.

Oh, this is an insanely small world.

And it is getting smaller and smaller by the minute.

Did Heather tell you why she wanted to have dinner?

She said she wanted to get to know me better.

Well, that's not something I need to be there for.

Yeah, I think she was just using that as an excuse to see you.

She seemed genuinely eager to reconnect, Joey.

I don't think she'd come all the way from Europe

just to hang out with her brother.

Then ask her why she's here.

Over dinner.

You know, I can think of much better ways to spend an evening.

Hmm.

And we can and will do that.

After dessert.

Look, I-I know you hate to do anything

that makes you feel vulnerable, but...

When I saw you reading that letter from Heather,

I sensed a longing.

I think you still miss her.

She's your sister. That connection doesn't just die.

Dinner on one condition.

I cook.

You won't get any pushback from me.

Well, now that you've chatted up my culinary skills,

I have to prove you're not exaggerating.

I think that can be arranged.

-Can you talk? -RANDY: Yeah.

Hope your day's going a whole lot better than mine.

Bill told me all about

those dusty Duprees saying we're having an affair.

And look, no shade, but have you seen me?

Without making it weird, don't act like I'm some kind of scrub.

I-I'm just saying.

Stop just saying and listen.

I was able to convince Bill that of course

he's my one and only and used their messiness against them.

"Bill, I-I need to get away from their vicious gossip.

"It's affecting my mental health.

I need Saint Barts."

Cuz, you owe me an apology for underestimating me.

Well, I suggest you wait till he's six feet under

-before you get to gloating. -Can't you see?

Everything is golden.

Bill and I will land on a beautiful

Caribbean island today,

and I will make him an extremely toxic cocktail

and you know what,

I will finally be free.

Next time we talk, cuz, I will be rich as hell.

Ticktock, hubby.

Okay.

All right, I guess I should head out to the airport.

-Safe travels, boss. -Thank you.

All right.

CAROLINE: Bill?

Oh, my God. Oh!

Bill? Bill!

How are the cousins holding up?

Not well.

They're nervous wrecks about their dad.

Chelsea is low-key unraveling, and--

What if Dad never regains consciousness

and Mom doesn't get a chance to say goodbye to him?

Naomi is lawyering her anxiety.

Bills not even gone yet and you're already here

marking your territory.

What the hell did you just say to me?

And don't get me started on Aunt Dani.

You will never replace me in Bill's heart,

and I will always be here for my husband!
