[soft laugh]

Before you fly halfway across the world,

I want you to know how much I appreciate

everything you did for me.

Truth is...

...I should have appreciated you more when we were married.

I hope you made me some, too. Good morning, wife.

-Good morning, husband. -Morning.

I thought about joining you in there.

What stopped you?

-Tea. -Uh-huh.

I'm actually surprised you're up.

Yeah, I figured you'd want to get a little extra sleep

since we couldn't get into Seoul earlier

and get settled into the time difference.

I slept like a well-fed baby thanks to that private suite

-we had on the flight over. -Yeah.

Besides, lounging around a hotel all day

is not how Dani Dupree does vacation.

Even with all of this temptation in front of her?

Damn, he makes a good point.

-Mm... -Uh...

But even with.

I got to get going anyway.

Busy first day.

You got anything planned yet?

You looked deep into thought when I walked in.

-I did? -Yeah.

Mapping out your itinerary or

is there something else on your mind?

[wheezes, coughs]

Bill, I-I thought you were...

Thought I was what?

[phone chimes]

What the hell?

[phone buzzing]

Tell me you see this.

"Word on the street is ChelseaKat is pulling out

"of the Takahashi show, which can only mean

"one thing for the baby designers:

"they can't cut it.

"Breaking contract this close to showtime

"is hella unprofessional.

Horrible look for the new brand."

Kat, they have no idea what they're talking about.

They don't even know why we pulled out.

No, no, we should check with Naomi before doing anything.

Then we'll just have to wait until she's done

with whatever she has going on in court.

Yes. Yeah. Business as usual, okay?

They're-they're just social media trolls.

Okay. Okay. Bye.

Chelsea? Everything all right?

Hey, Uncle Ted. Uh...

No. Far from that.

What's wrong? Is it Anita? Is Nicole okay?

No, the family's fine. It's my business that I'm worried about.

We're really in trouble.

-Um, I'll take some, please. -Oh.

Thank you.

Daddy, I just...

I really need to see you.

[line ringing]

MAN [over phone]: Hello?

-Daddy? -Hello?

Daddy, is this really you?

I just accused you of bumping off your girlfriend's husband

so you can have her all to yourself

and you have nothing to say?

Silence speaks 1,000 words--

or maybe just one.

"Guilty."

[stammers] Joey.

Why am I being punished for telling the truth?

I should be rewarded for figuring this out.

Except you haven't figured out anything, Heather.

You're not nearly as clever as you think you are.

So you didn't do it?

I have an alibi.

She's taking a shower.

Oh. How many of those did you have to take

to wash off all the guilt for killing the good doc?

I wasn't even in town.

Vanessa and I were in Puerto Rico when Doug died.

And that means what? We both know you don't do

your own dirty work.

VANESSA: I don't believe it.

VANESSA: Deanna texted.

She wants me to come to Orphey Gene's so we can talk.

Apparently, she found something

in Doug's belongings that's gotten to her.

Well, you can invite her over here.

You can talk in private.

-I'll make more scones. -No, she's still too fragile.

I don't think coming here is the best idea.

Huh. These scones are actually pretty dry.

Be a shame if you choked.

My brother, ever the gentleman.

I'll just help myself to whatever highbrow refreshment

you have in here.

I need you to get to Orphey Gene's now.

Craving those butter biscuits, huh?

JOEY: Deanna's found something

of Doug's that she intends to show to Vanessa,

and I need to know what that is.

Boss...

I thought I was off daughter duty.

Well, you're back on.

Is that a problem?

Nah. I'm headed there now.

I can't believe this worked. Daddy, is this really you?

MAN [over phone]: Um, girl, you got the wrong number.

I don't have any kids.

[call beeps off]

I wish I could say I was contemplating

life's biggest questions, but I was really just staring

at that pamphlet trying to get a feel for the city.

I did book myself a glass skin facial for this morning.

Were you still coming to the photo shoot tomorrow?

Or is there some shopping haul on the books?

You think I would put collecting my favorite Korean skin care

before supporting my husband?

-I'm doing both. -I knew it. I knew it.

There is no way I'm leaving my man unattended

with all these screaming K-pop girlies running around.

Those girlies don't hold a candle to my woman.

Aw.

-Seriously. -Yeah.

Go.

-You're here to work, so work. -All right.

You're gonna grab me something while you're out?

You already finished that snail mucin I got you?

It's your fault for making me this way.

-He's just so pretty. -All right.

I thought you might've drifted off to sleep.

You didn't hear me call you just now?

No. No. I'm sorry. I, uh...

I had a thought about a case and I just...

...zoned out for a second. You know how that is.

Yeah. Yeah. I know.

Yeah.

So, um, what did you need?

I was... I was in the other room

and getting more and more steamed

about Leslie Thomas and how she just marched into our house.

We need to fire that new housekeeper.

Okay, no, Hayley, you're overreacting.

Bill, I am not.

Every person who works here

was given clear instructions after my mugging.

Do not let anyone in our house without running it by us first.

-Okay, yeah, but Chelsea and Naomi... -Are your daughters.

That's a whole other conversation.

But Leslie just waltzing right up in here?

Like, what if I hadn't been home? Then what?

Okay. Okay, fine.

I will call the cleaning company

and arrange for a new housekeeper.

Problem solved.

If only.

I'm so sorry you girls had to pull out of the Tokyo event.

Kat hasn't mentioned it.

Everything happened so fast.

I'm sure she was gonna talk to you.

-[phone buzzing] -Yeah.

Sorry. It's Mom.

-She and Andre are in Korea. -Oh, no, take it.

I-I need to head in anyway.

-Thanks for listening. -Yeah, no problem.

Mom, have you seen?

What's going on? What happened?

The news got out that we dropped the Takahashi show.

It's all over social media.

What are people saying?

They're blaming us.

Saying that only a young company like ours

would do something so disrespectful.

What has Naomi said?

Naomi had a last-minute court thing

she had to deal with, so she hasn't gotten back to us yet.

Chelsea Bear, try not to get too worked up.

You've been in this industry long enough

to know how to handle haters.

A-And besides, once everything is out in the open,

ChelseaKat's name will be in the clear.

Thanks, Mom.

Um, well, but if your sister's not available,

why don't you ask your dad for advice?

Dad is fine. I'm hanging up.

Wait, have you seen for yourself?

I just...

I have a weird feeling, Chelsea Bear.

We texted back and forth, but that's it.

Being honest, I didn't want to go by

and deal with Hayley's screeching.

Listen, I don't give a damn about Hayley.

You go check for me, please.

And, uh, help me shake this off.

Mom...

Well, and-and-and you can get your legal advice, too.

It's a win-win.

Fine.

I'll go see Dad,

and you go see Seoul.

-Are we clear? -Crystal.

I mean it.

Go turn up with your husband, okay? Live your life.

I'll text you later.

Turning up as we speak. Love you. Bye.

Damn cleaning service has me on hold.

Ugh. Don't you just hate when they waste your time?

Yeah.

I mean, this could take a while.

Okay, well, I'll just, uh,

take this to the kitchen then.

Okay.

BILL: Hmm...

Oh.

Hey, sweetheart.

Hey, Dad. How are you doing?

Well, you know, doing pretty well. What's going on?

I've got a meeting, and then I was hoping I could stop by.

Is Hayley around?

Consider this my heads-up.

Well, honey, where is your meeting?

I've been wanting to get out of the house.

I could come to you.

It's a Zoom I'm doing in a conference room at the club.

Okay, that's perfect. Stay there.

You know what?

I'll just have Caroline do all that.

Yeah.

Italian mineral water with lavender essence. Mmm.

I hope you weren't saving it for a special recipe.

Is the woman you killed for still here?

-Not funny. -Oh, come on, Joey.

Where's your sense of humor?

I guess that goes out the window when you... [clicks tongue]

-...your lover's husband. -Will you lose the insinuations?

Vanessa is still here.

Setting up a drunk driving scene.

I give it three stars.

I've arranged several of those myself in my day.

More in the five-star range.

Which is why we should be partners.

Never gonna happen.

Oh, come on.

I'll bring the flare.

You can take your little experiment up a notch.

You know, I'm not one to give up.

Apparently, not one to read the room, either.

VANESSA: Sorry, I have to run,

-but we'll hang sometime soon, okay? -Oh. Yeah, yeah, yeah.

No apology necessary. Family always comes first.

Thanks for understanding.

You'll let me know what happens?

-Soon as I'm able. -All right.

Ugh. Are you gonna make a fresh batch?

I am thinking something cheesy.

-What do you want, Heather? -I'd love a bacon cheddar scone.

Okay, sorry, the kitchen's closed.

I'll just settle for a chat.

Let's talk murder.

You've always been very good at obliterating obstacles.

I just hope whoever you hired covered his tracks.

Randy, he's cute and all, but, uh, he doesn't really

blend well when he's trailing people.

Marco and Vinny, don't even get me started.

Do you want to borrow some of my guys?

Doug got rip-roaring drunk, and then decided to drive home.

That choice shattered his family,

but it had nothing to do with me.

So your only involvement was to supply

a shoulder for Vanessa to cry on?

That worked out so well for you.

Well...

...better hope nobody finds out the truth.

'Sup, kid? Not your flavor?

Randy, what are you doing here?

I just came for a pick-me-up,

but it looks like the cook might be off his game today.

It's not the shake, it's me. I'm in a funk.

Some knucklehead at Banneker giving you grief?

Just point them out. I'll handle them.

Won't even leave a scar.

It's nothing like that.

My mom brought me a box of my dad's stuff,

and I've been going through it, and it set me off.

Surprise, surprise.

Must've found something pretty interesting in there, huh?

Worse.

I found something that confirms what I've always known.

[elevator doors slide open]

-Hey, Dad. Great timing. -Hey.

I just finished my meeting.

Oh, okay, um, look, I just saw an alert

about ChelseaKat.

Is everything okay with the company?

That's why I wanted to come over.

I needed your advice on how to handle all this noise

about us pulling out of the Tokyo deal.

Okay, well, I-I thought you and Kat were excited about the show.

We were, which makes this suck much more.

Smitty found out the designer may be using a sweatshop.

And this happened today?

A few days ago, actually.

Okay, then why am I hearing about it from an alert

and not from my daughter?

Everything's been such a whirlwind, okay?

And the charges haven't even been confirmed.

Kat's trying not to freak out, and it's all over social media.

It may be too late.

Oh, well, uh, it may not be that big a deal.

What exactly are the allegations?

Well, Smitty said it involves several international brands

around the globe, not just Takahashi.

-Hmm. -His sources are saying that

they're violating tons of labor laws, like,

pulling crazy hours,

paying pennies on the dollar,

using unsafe buildings.

Yeah, I get it.

ChelseaKat doesn't need that kind of stain

attached to its brand.

Naomi spoke to Fenmore's, and

they suggested that we terminate the contract.

They don't want the blowback, either.

So your sister's helping you with this?

Mm. As long as you know I'm here for you.

I do.

And I want you to know that Naomi's got it.

I didn't want to put any more stress on your plate.

Oh, c-come on.

How many times I have to tell you all

that I'm back and better than ever.

And if Naomi needs a second hand,

then I'm happy to lend it. Okay?

I'm sure she would appreciate that.

[phone chimes]

Sorry, it's a reminder for a West Coast call.

-And Mom texted. -Okay.

-I'll be right here. -Okay.

[phone chimes]

Yeah.

Well, okay.

I know you like to joke and play games, Heather...

but you don't want to go toe-to-toe with me.

When I say stop, you stop.

Is that the face Doug saw right before you killed him?

The same face our father saw?

Joey. Joey! Ugh.

Okay, okay. Fine!

I hit a nerve.

Out.

I still love you.

Bye, brother.

So you were saying something about Doug's things?

Yeah.

Well, I mean, it couldn't be that bad, right?

-What'd you find? -Randy.

What are you doing here?

I was just saying hi to this one.

I remember when she was addicted to Just Danceon the Wii,

and now, look at her.

My baby girl's all grown up.

It was good to see you, Randy.

Always. Ma'am.

I was hoping we could talk before you went back to school.

I don't like the way we left things.

Me neither, but we'll have plenty of time

to get back on track.

I'm not going back to Banneker.

Deanna, sweetheart, it is your senior year.

You are this close to getting your degree.

Why on earth would you...

-Huh. Noah. -Mom, chill.

You are not dropping out of school

and putting your dreams on hold for a boy.

I won't allow it.

Can you just listen to me for once?

It was in the box that you gave me from Dad.

This is why I'm not going back.

"Cause of my death"?

-I don't understand. -Look inside.

Dad bought us tickets to see Cause of my Death

for Christmas last year.

That museum exhibit a-about the timeline of life and death.

I helped him organize his notes for the director.

They wanted first-person accounts from doctors on ways

people have died for authenticity.

I remember, and-and this receipt was in that old box?

Yeah, tucked away in one of his medical journals.

He wanted us to go together opening night.

That-that is a sweet memory, honey, but...

why would that make you want to leave school?

Well, don't you get it?

When Dad got us those tickets to see the exhibit,

he didn't know that he wouldn't live for it.

I'm not dropping out forever, just a semester or two.

No, I don't think it's a good idea.

I thought you liked having me here for the summer.

I have loved having time with you.

My hesitation isn't about us.

I don't want you putting your life on hold.

Once you get your degree,

we will have plenty of time to spend together.

Yeah, that's what Dad thought.

It has been a rough year.

For me, you, Donnell, but we can't stop living, Deanna.

We have to keep pushing forward and doing

the things that would make your dad proud.

You quitting is not what he would want.

Like you would know anything about what Dad would want.

You're not the one talking to him. I am.

-What? -Nothing.

Deanna, what do you mean you are talking to Doug?

-Hey, everything all good? -Just an influencer pal.

She wanted to go live on our behalf,

-but I talked her out of it. -Ah, well, smart move.

So what does your mom have to say

about your dilemma in all her texts and calls from Seoul?

Mom encouraged me to talk to Naomi

and I encouraged her

to enjoy Andre and their vacation.

Okay, well, I'm glad to see that

she's taking some time to get away

from all the drama around here.

Same. Well, I have to go meet Madison.

-Um, are you gonna be around? -Uh...

Yeah. Yeah, I might stick around.

Have a little bite while I'm here.

-And if you need me... -I've got you on speed dial.

Okay. Love you, baby.

Love you.

-Hey, Bill. -Hey.

Hey. Good to see you out and about, man.

-How you holding up? -Ah.

This bad boy hasn't shocked me since I've been out

of the hospital, so I guess I'd say I'm doing pretty good.

Yeah, that isn't exactly how it works.

You're not supposed to feel when a pacemaker is doing its job.

Huh. Well, how do I know it's working?

Well, if your heart is beating normally,

the pacemaker, uh, doesn't have anything to do.

But if it slows down or it's irregular,

it'll shoot a little boost to your muscle.

Okay, so it's not like a defibrillator situation?

No, no, not at all.

Pacemakers shoot little bits of electricity as needed.

But you could always check the app, right?

It'll tell you if it's gave you a charge.

Yeah, yeah, Ashley did mention something about an app

when I was leaving Garland.

Check your discharge papers again, man.

Us doctors don't give instructions for our health.

We do it for yours.

Right on. All right, well, I'll go do that right now.

-All right. Later. -Later.

Patients.

[door opens]

Have you lost your mind coming here?

You're the one blowing me up begging for help, so...

where's the body?

I know you didn't move him on your own.

He's at the club.

Oh, so he's Lazarus now?

Okay, first of all, you've been

spending way too much time with that church lady.

And second of all, I was wrong.

So what else is new?

-You said it was "done done." -It was.

Or at least it looked like it.

I mean, he was laying on the floor not moving.

I mean, I even nudged him with my foot and nothing.

What would you think?

I would've checked his pulse, genius.

So, what happened?

I, uh...

I don't know. Okay? I-I stepped away,

texted you the good news.

I came back, and all of a sudden,

Bill was sitting on the couch like nothing happened.

This ain't good, cuz.

How did he act when you came back into the room?

Like nothing was wrong.

Nah, he's flipping the script.

He could be testing you right now.

And I'm getting out of here, cuz.

Uh, how can you work for somebody like Joey Armstrong

and be this damn scary? He ain't flipping nothing, okay?

He's just trying to act all strong and healthy

because he doesn't want to go back to the hospital.

Or he could be letting you think that because he is testing you.

There is no way that he was out stone-cold one second

and then perfectly fine the next.

He's trying to see how you react to him being dead.

Okay, you're just being paranoid.

Cuz, working for Joey has taught me

to see things from all sides.

I keep telling you to open your eyes.

Bill is lying to you.

If he figures out what's making him all fuzzy,

we need to start working on our exit strategy.

Randy, how many times can I tell you that I am not losing.

Not against Bill, not against Dani,

and not the payout that I've earned.

-All right. -Babes, you would've loved this facial.

I will definitely get you one before we go.

I can think of another way I'd rather spend my free time.

-And I promise we'll get to that. -Mm-hmm.

But for now, since your scouting is over,

I was thinking we could hit up the Namdaemun Market for a bite.

How explorative are you feeling?

-Food-wise or with you? -Mm.

Oh, my new favorite champagne.

You shouldn't have.

Babe, what are you looking for? I'm right here.

Yeah, um, the-the-the card

that usually comes with a bottle.

Why?

Because, Dani, I didn't order that.

Look, maybe the-the hotel, uh, brought it up,

and they left one of those nice-nice cards.

I want to be sure that we say thank you.

Andre...

It's free champagne, not a ticking time bomb.

We'll do lunch, maybe shoot some hoops.

Don't stress your knees. It'll be a good time, okay?

Mm.

All right, now. I'm gonna hold you to that one.

Okay. Bye.

Sounds like you're planning something exciting.

Yeah, I'm trying to impress my lady's brothers.

Supposedly, they're, uh, difficult.

Oh, aren't difficult people just the worst?

Truly.

How do you handle 'em?

Oh, it's easy. I kill 'em.

You always take things so literally.

When I said I was talking to him,

I didn't mean in real life.

-What did you mean then? -I imagine him.

I talk to him in my dreams, write notes, stuff like that.

-To keep his memory alive. -Yeah.

I even listen to his voice messages

to remember what he sounds like.

Sweetie...

I called his phone today.

Um, somebody answered.

For half a second, I felt like he was here with us again.

I just stopped service on his phone.

I figured anyone who would still call knew by now.

I thought it was the right step forward.

Like getting rid of his stuff at the club?

I donated his things to people who can use them.

Don't act like you're doing a noble thing, Mom.

You're erasing Dad so you can move on

with your new life with Joey.

I would never try to erase your father, honey,

but I know it can't be easy seeing me with someone else.

Dad was spiraling, losing everything,

and Joey did nothing but watch him.

Yeah, that's the man you love?

-What does that even say about you? -You sit back down, Deanna.

-We are not finished. -I do not want to cause a scene.

You won't, because what I have to say is not about Joey.

You are going back to school, and that is final.

I'm old enough to make my own choices.

-It is not the right decision, honey. -Yeah, maybe,

but neither is being with a killer like Joey Armstrong.

Okay, good job avoiding the cameras.

How'd you get through the gates?

Used the code you gave me a while ago for the back entrance.

Mm. The bike trail. Smart.

I need you to find out what Bill knows so we can start planning.

I know, I know.

-Okay, what if we... -[tablet chimes]

Oh, it's Bill. Uh, he's pulling in.

-Which way? -Out the back. Go. Go.

[door opens]

[door closes]

Hayley? You home?

What'd you do with those discharge papers?

Uh, excuse you.

Hasn't anyone ever told you never to go

into a woman's purse?

Okay, okay, I'm sorry.

I was just looking for the discharge papers.

I mean, you keep everything else in that thing.

It's like a magic bag half the time.

-You mean these papers... -Yeah.

...that I've already gone through?

Why were you looking for those anyway?

I was reminded of the pacemaker app, and

I need to set up an account.

Is something wrong?

Do you want me to call Madison?

No, nope, I'm fine.

I just want to make sure this thing is working.

Apparently, it monitors activity, yeah, in real time.

-Look, pretty cool, huh? -Mm-hmm.

That's a-a great thing, right?

-Means you're in tip-top shape. -Mm-hmm.

Sure does.

Have you finished your scavenger hunt?

Sorry for wanting to be a gentleman

and thank whoever sent this.

It was probably guest relations.

I'm sure they clocked the picture I posted with Pamela

and matched the champagne bottle.

They do things like this all the time.

Oh.

Hi. Yeah, this is room 2012.

Uh, we want to say thank you for the champagne,

-but who arranged it? If you... -Andre.

-Dani, I... -Andre.

-Baby... -You need to relax.

-Now, sit down. -Okay, okay.

And take the edge off.

Better?

Yeah, absolutely.

Yeah, maybe I was the one who was jet-lagged.

I mean, I didn't want to call you out.

Here.

To our mysterious yet thoughtful benefactor.

And to a beautiful remainder to this trip.

The look on your face.

You didn't think I was serious, did you?

I mean...

kind of caught me off guard. Hmm?

Well, I do kill people.

With kindness.

You didn't think little old me would be capable

of hurting anyone, did you?

Well, the... Stranger things have happened,

and I don't know you from a can of paint.

I had to get you back. Of course I don't think that.

Good one.

-Cheers. -Cheers.

Well, I've got to get going.

But, uh, thank you for the laugh.

Yeah. Good luck with your very special event.

Mm-hmm.

How'd it go?

Not great.

Heather still here?

No, it's just us.

Well, tell me what happened.

Deanna is throwing away

all the progress we made this summer.

You know, I-I knew she was still struggling with Doug's death,

but I-I thought she had gotten past

blaming you and hating me.

Your daughter doesn't hate you, Vanessa.

Not so sure about that.

You said that she found something of Doug's.

Is-is that what upset her?

This old receipt from a museum exhibit

he wanted to take her to.

He had it tucked away in an old medical book. I...

You know, she said that it-it made her realize

how short life is,

and she wanted to quit school and stay at home instead.

You know, of course I didn't like that idea.

Next thing you know, we're arguing about you.

I really thought we were getting somewhere.

I told you I wasn't 100% sold on Deanna

supporting our relationship.

In her eyes, I'm always going to be not Doug.

You know, Vanessa, the last thing I want

is for you and Deanna to lose your relationship because of me.

And I won't stand by and watch that.

What are you saying?

If our relationship is bringing more grief than good...

...then maybe I should let you go.

Deanna has priority.

Deanna needs help learning how to process

her father's death, learning how to move forward,

and learning how to accept the fact

that you are my partner.

Are you sure?

I will not walk away from you.

And I won't let you walk away from me.

I love you, Joey Armstrong.

And nothing...

will ever change that.

Anybody tell your ass to sit down?

I'm sorry, what now?

You heard what my brother said. You're not welcome here.

-What now, Leslie? -Don't get all twisty, Nita.

We'll just be a minute.

I am just absolutely smitten with your lovely grandchildren.

Keep your damn sister away from my grandkids.

[phone chimes]

What's so funny?

Jacob, just answer me this, then.

The questions you're asking me,

those are the questions you ask a suspect.

Is Lia's death now a murder investigation?
