Call Chloe.

Is there any way we can get around this?

L.A. traffic.

We'll be there soon, Mr. Ant. Okay, can we take like a surface street? Would

that be any better? I don't even recognize it anymore. I spend my whole

life looking at the taillights ahead of me.

I'm going to walk, all right?

Yeah. Eddie, where you at?

I'm stuck in traffic.

Where?

Somewhere between here and there.

Eddie, I'm not playing.

Why are you asking? I know you have a GPS tracking system on my ass at all

times. You know where I'm at every second of the day.

Who told you that?

They tell you about the chip I had implanted in you, too?

Yeah, who's playing?

Eddie, if you're headed where I think you are, do not go there. Stop, turn

around, go home.

I'm not headed anywhere in this traffic.

Look, I...

Can we get out of this place? We haven't moved for 10 minutes.

Where are you going?

I'm going to handle some business.

No, you're not.

I know all of your business. All of your business is handled in this office. Come

here. Let's talk business.

I got to talk to her.

Eddie, do not go over there, man. That place is going to be swarming with

parasites trying to snap a picture of you. Who cares? All right, I'll sneak

past them. Eddie, you couldn't sneak past a statue.

You saw how crazy it got when Chloe showed up at the club for the video

shoot. Jake, it's not going to be that bad.

Worse. There is a big paparazzi price on your head, man, especially if you go to

Chloe's house.

All right, I gotta talk to her.

Okay, and maybe I'll give the paparazzi just what they want. I'll walk straight

through her front door. I'm sick of hiding from them. Yo, is the vehicle

you're in properly ventilated? What?

I'm starting to think that the fumes are seeping in. Cutting off your oxygen,

man, because it's making you, uh, you know, stupid.

Jake, I can handle a few photographers.

Yeah, but can you handle Chloe?

Eddie, I will call the police and have them put up roadblocks all over her

place. You will not get within a half a mile of her.

I'll call in the National Guard to stop you. Hell, I will call SEAL Team 6 to

take you down.

You cannot go to Chloe's house.

Eddie?

You know, she loved the video shoot. I didn't think she would because she's

kind of self-conscious, but this whole experience has really brought her out of

her shell.

Outstanding. It is. I know. She's such a great kid, and she's flourishing.

You know, and all it took was to be discovered by a world-famous rock star.

And if I'd known that, I would have arranged for this to happen years ago.

She's got so much talent.

She's going to take all that talent to her Ivy League school this fall.

Yeah, you know, um...

I think she might not go in the fall.

She's going to take some time off, you know, just sort of see where this music

thing goes. Well, how do you feel about that?

I'm 1,000% behind it.

And this is her dream.

You're not worried about the rock and roll lifestyle?

Have you met my daughter?

She makes Miss Goody Two-Shoes look like a bluesy.

That's true.

I asked with Adriana in mind.

Oh, is everything okay?

Any big blowups? She's been a perfect angel. Oh.

But there's something suspicious about her behavior, you know? It's very

unsettling. You think it's some kind of scheme? Well, I know it is. I'm just

trying to figure out what her angle is.

Is that why you're distracted? You haven't even touched your salad.

That's the clinic. I'm exhausted, you know? Back-to-back surgeries, last

night, into the morning. Well, you shouldn't be having lunch with me. You

should be taking a nap.

I wanted to see you.

Well,

you know, you should take some time off. I'm too busy at the clinic.

I'm not talking about a truck around Europe. Just a couple days.

You know what?

My family has a cabin in Big Bear. You're more than welcome to use it.

Would you join me?

I'm not sure my boss would give me the time off. He might be more agreeable

than you think.

I don't want to put any pressure on you, but a couple days in the woods sounds

fun.

No pressure?

I might run for the hills if you try to seduce me, but that's not really on my

mind.

What do you say?

What is the story, Peter Lorre?

That was done on the phone. I just got confirmation on the last known address

of your Aunt Beth. Her rehab center is in Las Vegas.

Las Vegas?

Yeah, I can see that.

So is she, like, a blackjack dealer?

Is she a showgirl? Ooh, is she an Elvis impersonator? That'd be awesome.

Did you just say awesome?

Well, yeah.

She had a problem. She went to a place to fix it. Now she's cleaned up and

opening a new chapter in her life.

Ta-da!

So you think everyone who goes to rehab just cleans up and opens a new chapter?

That's the point, isn't it?

Sure, but it doesn't always work. Haven't you seen Celebrity Rehab? Oh my

God, do you think my aunt knows Dr. Drew?

Mel, don't joke.

Some of this stuff, not even you can put a sunny spin on it. Like what?

That address was from a few years back and she hasn't left a trace since. It's

like she fell off the face of the earth.

Well, that's not a big deal.

She cleaned up, and she's quietly staying under the radar. It's probably

easier to avoid temptation that way.

It's hard for a productive member of society to avoid leading a trace.

I mean, everything we do is recorded. Where you go, who you talk to, what you

purchase. So what are you saying?

Oh, this looks like a really intense conversation. Are you guys arguing about

Trueblood again?

No. My Aunt Beth. Oh, did you find her? He's got to leave. I'll tell you about

it later.

So, big news out of Hollywood today. Eddie Duran breaks it off with skinny

butt Chloe to be with little Lauren Tate of Tarzana.

That is not what happened. Eddie is not interested in me. He would be if he ever

saw you in that apron.

But you like him.

Of course I like him. Who doesn't like Eddie?

It's not going to happen.

Time to work. People want coffee.

It's totally happening.

I'm going to make it happen.

I will drive there and stop you myself, all right? I know you're upset, but just

call me when you get this, man. Better yet, come here.

Oh, I'm here.

What now?

I don't know, man. I didn't think you'd come.

But I'm glad you did. Here, let me get this.

Can I get you anything?

No, I'm good.

I decided I had nothing to say to her.

Right. All right, you made the wise decision, all right? You're thinking

clearly now.

Now let me see all the bumps and bruises you got from wrestling with Tyler.

How did you hear about that?

Papa Max.

He was kind of, like, oddly proud of you for throwing fists with him. All right.

Here, let me take a look at this one.

Ow!

What was that for?

For hanging up on me. Have a seat.

Look, I know you're hurting, man, but do not hang up on me.

All right.

God, I'm sorry. You were right.

All right.

So, since you and Papa Max are, like, best friends now, did he tell you about

his little friend that he hired? The detective?

Yeah, he told me. Yeah, I cannot believe that. Even you would not do something

like that.

Wait a second. Were you involved in that?

No, man. I just found out myself.

When all this calms down, I think you'll realize that your dad did it out of love

for you.

Yeah.

Well, right now, it seems like nothing's going to calm down anytime soon, so...

Hey, you made the right decision by not going to Chloe's, man.

That would have just been more gas on the fire.

Great. So, I made one good decision lately.

You know, the Internet's burning up over this, man. You are a trending topic

worldwide.

Yeah, I bet Chloe's loving that.

I didn't say it, but I was definitely thanking it.

Listen, we got to control this, all right? But do not worry, I'm all over

this. Just you have to stay out of sight for a while.

No, man, I disagree.

You know, if I'm out of sight, it makes me look weak. I mean, I got to appear

strong. Well, yes, you have to appear strong, but let's appear strong in a

couple of weeks.

Nah. I think the sooner the better.

You know, if I'm hiding, it looks like I lost.

And you know what happens in this town if you show weakness.

Oh, yeah.

The sharks.

And I hate sharks.

Everything was fine until you came back into town. If there's one person you

should be mad at, it's yourself.

You lied to Eddie. You got sloppy. You couldn't keep your hands off me. That

was your downfall.

Because you took advantage of me.

When?

This past month. Just 20 minutes ago. Just now? Are you kidding me? What, did

I force you to rip my clothes off? You called me.

Who else was I going to call?

Exactly. You called me because we belong together.

No, I belong with Eddie.

I can make this work.

There has to be a story that I can tell him. Look, he's not going to take you

back. He's not that big of a sap.

Maybe he is. I don't know.

I need your help.

No. I've been trying to break you guys up for the last couple of weeks,

remember? Why?

Because I worship you, Chloe.

I don't think so.

If you want to hurt Eddie, if you want to pay him back for ruining your career,

then you'll help me with this. You'll help me get him back, and it'll make him

look like a fool. That'll be your payback.

I like it, but I just don't think I could help you with it.

Now...

Come back to bed.

No, this is my house. Put your clothes back on and get out of here. How about

we compromise?

I'm not playing games, Tyler.

That's exactly what you're doing. It's not safe for you out there.

I'm just... Come on. If you help me with this, I will get you a meeting with

Osborne Silver.

As your manager, man, I think you're right.

You know, we use this.

You know, more exposure generates sympathy, and a lot of the consumers who

aren't fans of yours now, they'll take a liking to you once they see you in the

cover of Us Weekly.

It's a lot to get through, but, uh... But what?

I mean, as your friend, man, I think you need to take some time off.

You know, get out of here. Go to Maui for a couple of weeks. Let the little

hula girls do their thing.

You really need some time to heal, man. Oh, man, I can heal right here.

Just writing new songs.

Yeah, but...

You know, man, when your mom died, I pushed you to go on tour, and at the

time, I thought it was a good idea, but you didn't have any time to grieve. So

what? All right? That was one of the reasons the shows on tour were so

intense. Yeah, it was also one of the reasons that... That what?

I'm still so messed up?

No, I just think you and your dad have what they call unresolved issues, man.

You know, pushing you to make the album didn't necessarily help.

Look, I appreciate your concern, Jake, but I just want to get all these

feelings into my new songs, you know?

Yeah, but I'm not sure now's the right time.

The right time? What are you talking about? Look at all these great breakup

albums. Fidel, Taylor Swift, Atlantis, and even Dylan's Blood on the Tracks.

They had different breakups, and no one had a fiancé who slept with... Tyler,

it's all good. You can say it.

She cheated on you with the King of Sleazebags, all right? She lied.

She's bad news, man. You deserve better than it. I'm sorry, but that's just the

way it is.

You and my dad finally agreed on something.

Yeah, he can be very wise, your dad, for a crazy old fool, that is.

You know, listen, I know you're hurting, man.

But just pour all of that pain into your songs.

All right?

How was lunch?

Fine.

Mine was, too.

Just a sandwich at my desk. Nothing glamorous.

This is Lyle Chapwick. He is here for consultation on his torn meniscus. Who

referred him? Dr. Lange in Encino.

I put his temperature and his blood pressure out at the top of the chart. Is

there anything else you need, doctor?

No, thank you.

It's his left knee, doctor.

Wow, he's in a great mood.

Must have been a wonderful lunch.

Actually, he just had a salad that he barely touched.

Well, it must have been the company that put a smile on his face.

Hey, Nora, I was meaning to ask you, how was the video shoot?

Oh, uh, yeah, it was good.

Lauren really loved it.

Well, she must have been in seventh heaven.

She is such a sweet and talented kid.

It's really great when nice things happen to kids like that. Yeah, yeah, it

is. Thank you, Ellie.

You must be really proud.

I am. You know, why are you being so friendly?

It's just the last couple days kind of been... I have to apologize.

My behavior has been, at best, irrational, and at worst, just out-and

-out crazy.

I'm really sorry.

Oh, I mean, that's okay.

Why the change?

I just would like things to go back to the way they were.

I used to love coming to work, and I miss being friends with you, Nora.

Me too.

Me too. I mean, this tension has been so stressful. I feel like I've been

grinding my teeth. My dentist is going to kill me.

It's a new day. Let's just put it all behind us.

Good. Yay. Thank you.

Oh, my gosh. I feel so much better already.

And, you know, for the record, I really didn't think you were crazy.

Really? No. I mean, I've been there. Believe me. You know, when you have a

crush on someone and it doesn't work out, it doesn't make you crazy.

It just makes you...

Puman. Yeah, I'm here to play some Koreatown.

Yeah, I got everything.

Phones, GPS, tablets, PlayStation.

But I gotta move this stuff, so today's your day at a bargain shop.

Room four.

But hurry, because this stuff's not gonna last these prices, all right?

If you hear from him, can you please have him call us? We have been worried

sick over here.

All right, thank you, Tom.

Goodbye.

Have you heard from him?

Uh, you really think he's gonna call me?

I don't know. I thought maybe he snuck in late last night and slept here, but

not a trace.

Yeah, it's not the first time Phyllis stayed out all night.

It's the first time since being attacked by his father.

Attack?

Why don't you pick a stronger word, Lace?

You know, assault, bludgeon, persecute? Gus, you were vicious to him. I never

laid a hand on him.

There are worse things a father can do to their son.

Oh, you know what?

If I would have done what Phil did when I was a kid, my father would have given

me a beating I never would have recovered from. As a matter of fact, if

my old man finds out about this, he may come over and give me a smack just for

letting my kid get away with it. That's not how we raise our kids. I know.

We praised him, and we coddled him, and we stroked that boy's ego, and now he's

a felon. We don't know that. We do, Lisa.

Every shred of evidence points to Phil's guilt. Wake up.

You have turned a blind eye to this because you are so sure.

That Mel is a delinquent. Listen, I don't care what he's done, all right?

You stand by family. No, you stand by them to a point.

We gave him every opportunity the last few weeks. I gave him every opportunity

to come clean and just say, hey, Dad, I screwed up.

I'm in trouble.

That's all I wanted to hear from him.

I wanted to help.

And he denied everything, Lise. Even last night, he denied it all.

Maybe that means he's innocent.

I will be at the Northridge store for the rest of the afternoon.

If he calls you, can you try to get him to come home and not cause any more

problems, please?

Yeah.

Yeah, he's not going to call, but yes, honey, I will try not to alienate him

anymore.

Hi, is this Jimmy?

Okay, I've got 90 seconds. What's the news? It's going to take a little longer

than that. No, it won't. It's a lot of information.

Have you ever heard me talk before? I can release so much information in such

a short amount of time. I am so good and so fast that I'm going to take a link

via dramatic pause here before getting into the good stuff.

Hey, 75 seconds here. Let's go.

Adam found my Aunt Beth.

What? That's amazing. Where?

Well, we don't exactly know yet.

I thought you said you found her.

See why this is going to take a little longer than your minute-long fake break?

He found her last known address, which was in Vegas at a rehab center, so

that's great news.

I don't know if it's...

Great news. It's news.

No, but it means she had a drug problem and went to a place to fix it, and now

she's fine.

I've been trying to tell her that that doesn't mean Beth's fine.

Yeah, didn't you say that she's been to rehab a few times before? Yeah, but that

was when she was a kid.

She's grown up now, so she can make better decisions.

But she's kind of fallen off the face of the earth since then.

Yeah, that doesn't exactly bode well.

That bodes awesome.

How does that bode awesome?

My mom didn't want anything to do with Beth because of the drugs. But now I can

tell her it's okay. She's not doing drugs anymore.

How do you know that?

Because she went to rehab, obviously.

Now she can finally find her sister.

Can you imagine how amazing that reunion would be?

Why don't you just hold off on telling her for now?

That's what he said.

Why don't you guys plan this out to bring me down?

Well, it's not going to work. This is good news.

Look, fake break's over, but Mel, really, I think you should just hold off

and let Adam...

do his thing and get some more real facts.

You know my mom. She's not big on facts.

She kind of works on a faith-based system.

And I have faith we will find Beth.

This is good news, and I'm telling her today because she could really use some

good news.

How did it go, Doctor?

Uh, fine.

Please schedule Mr.

Chapwick for a pre-op next week.

Fantastic.

Oh, there's a consult waiting for you in room three, and I also noticed that

tomorrow you've got back-to-back surgeries, so I will make sure I order

you lunch, since you won't be able to go out.

Thank you. That's very helpful.

I can also help by speeding up the admissions paperwork. Don't worry about

it. We'll do it tomorrow.

Where's Nora?

She is in the supply room ordering a few more things. Should I page her for you?

No. Why are you being like this?

Like what?

Helpful and cheery.

I'm just doing my job, Doctor. Well, just do it the normal way, okay?

Will do.

I know you're up to something, Ellie.

Whatever it is, stop.

So you can give me a meeting with Osborne Silver?

If I'm with Eddie, I can.

Osborne Silver, the movie producer, not the garbage man or the professional

bowler? Osborn Silver, the producer of your favorite movies, Sunset Curse, The

Harpist, Where's Lucky, Where's Lucky 2.

And how are you going to get me that meeting?

If I'm with Eddie, I just pick up the phone and I make a call to Osborn or his

boy Connor.

If you're with Eddie, that's not going to happen.

It has to.

He's never going to trust you. He caught you in like a dozen lies in the last

month. And I've talked my way out of it every single time. Not the last time.

You're right, not the last time. But I have a plan.

Are you loop-de-loop crazy?

He's not going to listen to me. The last time I saw him, he did damage to my

dental work.

And that's what makes it more believable.

If you go to him, it has to be under dire circumstances.

You talk to him. It's life or limb. So what you have to say, it must be

important. What am I telling him?

That you have an evil twin and that's who I've been sleeping with?

I'm not playing around here, Tyler.

It's the only thing that makes sense that I could say to him.

You tell him.

That you were blackmailing me. That you forced me to sleep with you. Or else you

were going to tell the whole wide world about my mom, about Fresno, about

everything, where I was from.

Why would I confess to that for a meeting with Osborne Silver?

It's a life-changing, career-changing meeting. You always said that you just

needed to be in front of these guys.

Here's your chance.

It's true. I come across better in person.

You know, with a headshot and a resume, it's just, you can't really tell.

Osborne loves me.

I have more juice with him if I'm with Eddie and I'm not Eddie's ex.

If he knows that I'm in Eddie's ear.

I'm just not so sure that I want to help you, Chloe.

If Eddie and I end this way, Jake will bury me. I will be ruined in this town.

I'll have to go back to Fresno and work at the dairy hut. There's nothing wrong

with the dairy hut. I love it. You have to help me. I can't be ruined.

I don't let this happen to me.

I don't understand how you could be ruined. Why can't you just parlay your

publicity into some kind of payday?

If I was the victim, I could. If Eddie had cheated on me with some exotic

dancer from Chatsworth, then yeah, but I could be the poster girl for scorned

women everywhere.

I'd like to see that poster.

But I'm not.

I'm the cheater.

I'm scorned. I only have one plate, and that's to get Eddie back.

If you love me like you say you do, then you'll help me out.

Thank you for the pain.

At first it felt so strange.

Coming clean, I've always been the one who takes the blame.

But now the tables turn and I've been forced to learn.

Sure it's different now that I'm the one who's getting burned.

I may step in your direction just to find your taste.

One step away, one step away. Get over it. And I can't believe I'm stuck here

on the wrong side of goodbye.

Look at this one.

Gorgeous girlfriend breaks up with Eddie.

That's not what happened. He broke up with her.

And is she really all that gorgeous up close?

Yeah. Yep. You could snap her in half, but she's gorgeous. Also, she has fangs,

which surprised me.

Ooh, this one says, mystery girl breaks up Chloe. I wonder who that could be.

Obviously, it's Lauren. Obviously.

Is there anything mysterious looking about this girl?

It is you. You're blushing. Did you hook up with Eddie?

Hook up with Eddie? You're crazy.

No, your phone's ringing.

I don't answer it when I'm at work.

Oh, this smells disgusting.

Hello?

Hey, Lauren, it's Eddie.

Duran. Yeah, of course. You sit behind me in Brit Lit.

Or am I getting my Eddies mixed up?

No, no. That's me.

I'm the one always quoting T.S. Eliot.

Oh, of course.

Love song of Alfred J. Prufrock. That makes sense.

Hey, what are you doing right now?

Oh, just working.

Yeah?

Me too. I'm trying to work out some new songs, and I was tinkering around with

yours. Do you want to come over and help me out?

Are you working at a studio?

No, I'm at home. I always write here.

Just come on over.

To where you live? To your house?

Yeah, I'll leave your name with the doorman.

When's your shift over at the coffee shop?

You remember where I work?

Yeah, of course.

So just come over as soon as you can. When are you done?

Oh, not for like another hour.

Oh, another hour, huh?

Yeah, I'll get someone to cover my shift.

Okay, sounds good. I'll see you soon.

I'm going to his house. You are the mystery girl.

You have to go now.

Who's going to cover your shift?

I can't. I'm sorry. I have to be home in exactly eight minutes.

I'm covering for Summer, who I'm pretty sure is covering for Emily.

Guys, there's no one who can cover my shift. I'm stuck here.

Can I help you?

So?

What's so urgent?

Is it your head? Are you dizzy?

Uh-uh.

I mean, well, I'm a little dizzy, but not from the accident.

Wow.

You only drop by here with good news, contests and scholarships, so I do have

to tell you, my expectations are pretty high.

Well, good, because I am on my way to go hang out with Eddie and work on the song

at his house.

Oh, wow!

Wow!

So, who's going with you? No one. I think it's going to just be the two of

us. Oh, wow. Oh, so wait, I'm sorry. He just called you out of the blue and

said, hey, come on over, and you just dropped everything, including your shift

at work?

Yeah. I'm not going to schlep coffee when I could be sitting on a piano bench

with Eddie.

Okay, so what time are you going to come home?

Oh, um, I don't know. I mean, I'm pretty sure I'm going to be there until late,

so I don't know if I'll be home for dinner, but I'll call.

Oh, okay. Thank you for that. Yeah.

So you are going to a rock star's house, just the two of you. Well, actually,

it's his penthouse, so.

Oh.

Oh, penthouse. Even better.

Yeah. I bet you can see the ocean from over there. I might even take a picture.

Okay. You know what, Lauren? I'm just not sure about this.

What do you mean? You going to Eddie's house.

Well, Mom.

Well, he just broke up with, you know, what's-her-lips.

So? So he's in a very vulnerable state.

I think I can handle myself.

You've been in this situation before? I mean, going to a rock star's penthouse

alone when he just broke up with his model girlfriend? When did this happen

to you? Is this a summer school thing?

Why do you keep questioning my judgment? I just feel like this situation is

getting too big and sort of drifting out of your realm of experience.

My realm? Yes, I said realm.

But listen, it's out of most people's experience.

What exactly do you think is going to happen? I don't know, because it's out

of my experience.

I mean, I imagine you're going to work on the song and have some lemonade, but,

you know, it could very well go a different way.

Okay, well, I didn't come here to ask your permission. I just...

I came to tell you because I thought you'd be excited for me. I am excited

for you. I just, I would be more excited if it were at an office or if there was

a chaperone. Mom!

Well, listen, you know, you might not have come over here to get my

permission, but I'm pretty sure that you came here knowing that I couldn't get

upset because there's these nice people in the waiting.

Hi, Mrs. Richardson. I'll be right with you, okay?

Mom, I can handle myself. I trust Eddie. You should trust me.

Call me every hour.

Every two.

Every 90 minutes, we have a deal.

Deal. I'll be home before you know it. It's gonna be okay.

I love you. I love you, too. Just be careful. Be careful, okay? I will.

Bye. See you.

Hi, Mrs. Richardson. Are you ready?

Can I help you?

Hello, Jeffrey. Um, I'd like to go up, please.

Afternoon, Ms. Carter.

Uh, you're here to see...

Come on, are you really going to play this game with me?

I can't let you up to see him.

So he's in. I wasn't sure if he was.

You've been removed from the approved list.

For what reason?

I don't ask reasons, but I have a pretty good idea.

I can't believe Eddie would take me off the list that quickly.

He didn't.

Mr. Madsen did.

Jake? Well, then it shouldn't be a problem to let me up. He gave specific

instructions. But Jake doesn't own this building. He doesn't pay your salary. He

can't tell you what to do. He can be very persuasive.

That's Jake's thing. He talks so fast that he'll make your head spin around.

But if everyone slows down and actually listens to what Jake says, I mean, he'd

never get anything accomplished.

I say until Eddie calls and takes me off the list himself, then I'm still on it.

That may be, Ms. Carter, but I've seen the news.

I know what's going on.

Then you know that I have items up there that I have to get and bring back to my

place.

Miss Carter... Please, this is a very difficult time.

Have you ever been through a tough breakup?

A couple of years ago, a divorce.

Then you know what I'm dealing with.

Did you leave any personal items behind that you never got back?

My James Bond DVD collection.

I mean, she says it must have gotten lost, but... Yes, yes.

So let's not make this any harder than it has to be for me, please.

I don't want to lose my James Bond DVDs.

Uh, come in, it's open.

Sorry, it's a mess in here, the cleaning people. It's gonna be here tomorrow.

What do you want?

Please, I need to talk to you.

i don't want to talk to you please look eddie you you left me a

message so you must have something to say and i told you to keep away from me

what you're not doing i understand if you hate me and you never want to see me

again okay i'm glad you understand that please let me explain i love you so much

eddie and it would kill me if you didn't hear what i had to say Okay, I can

listen, but I'm just going to assume it's more lies.

No, Eddie, it's not lies. It was one lie. One lie?

No, Eddie.

Try 30 lies, and I'm still counting.

No, it was one lie that snowballed and turned into another lie that turned into

something worse. Tyler threatened me.

Oh, I do not want to hear it. No, it was Tyler. Stop.

Please. Get out. Please let me talk to you. No, Eddie. And I have your stuff

right here. You can take it as you leave.

I don't want my stuff, Eddie. I want you.

It will never happen.

Please. It should be Tyler that you're mad at, not me.

Why won't you stand up for me?

Did you ever really love me?

Don and his office, there's a patient in two.

Yeah, he knows about it, but he just got called into a meeting with his lawyer.

Oh, he came by again?

Yeah, I know. Can you believe that? This cannot be good.

Huh.

Sure, it's fine. Did you call Mrs. Stoll about her follow-up appointment?

Yeah, I did that this morning.

Okay. Nora, you're not concerned that one of the partners is meeting with his

lawyers for the third time this week?

He must have some serious legal problems, don't you think? Well, if he

does, it's really, you know, none of our concern.

Hello, is Javier there?

I'm calling about Phil Sanders. I'm his mother.

Come on, that's your best offer?

This is grade-A stuff here, Ricky. Most of this stuff is still in boxes.

Some of this stuff just hit the market.

It's so fresh you can smell the factory.

That's the best I can do.

Dude, these phones are 4G, LTE.

I don't know what that means, man. Long-term evolution.

Don't worry, nobody does.

Look, we've done business before, all right?

Can you at least do a little better on the cameras? I'm trying to feed my

family here.

Man, what family?

You a kid.

I got mouths to feed, you know?

Yeah, well, I can only do what I can do.

Can only do what I can do. I don't understand. It doesn't make any sense.

I thought we came to terms on the phone. Yeah, but on the way over, I did some

comparison shopping. Oh, yeah, of course you did. It's the prices right now. Come

on down.

These prices are as good as it gets, Ricky.

Where were you shopping?

I just made some phone calls to one of your competitors.

He said you ripping me off.

Ripping you off?

Ricky, all this stuff, it's all stolen.

So the ripping off has already been done.

It's too much.

He said I can't make a profit.

He? Who are you talking about, Ricky?

Talking about Colorado.

Talk to Colorado about this deal?

I buy a lot of stuff from him.

He said you were desperate and I could get a good deal. Get out, man.

Get out. I don't need your money. Just take your stank with you, man.

Try taking a shower sometime, Rick.

Can I help you?

I parked my car right out front. Is that okay? It's not gonna get towed or

anything, right? Um, you're here to see someone? Oh, right. Um, I'm Lauren Tate

to see Eddie Duran.

Oh.

Oh, did he not call down? He said he was gonna call.

No, no, he called. It's just, um...

I'll send you up. Oh, okay.

And I will keep an eye on your car for you. Oh, thank you so much. I appreciate

that. What was your name?

Jeffrey. Oh, okay. Well, thank you, Jeffrey.

But it's okay if you don't remember.

I will probably be fired today.

Oh, no. What'd you do?

You'll see.

Tyler was going to tell you.

about me being from Fresno and about my parents.

I was so ashamed, Eddie.

And then he said he was going to talk to the tabloids and tell his story to the

highest bidder to make you look bad.

To make me look bad?

Yeah, to make you look like a naive chump is what he said.

Eddie, I love you so much. I didn't want to see you get hurt by some mistake that

I made.

I would rather lose you than hurt you, and I wound up doing both.

So wait, let me get this straight.

In order for me not to get hurt, you decided to sleep with him?

It sounds crazy, but it made sense at the time. It doesn't sound crazy. It

sounds demented.

He forced me to sleep with him, or else he was going to tell the whole world his

story.

How could you?

What was I supposed to do?

Anything but that.

I hate myself for what I did, but I don't know what I would do if you hated

me too.

I don't... I don't hate you.

Do you think that you could ever love me again?

Are you kidding?

I would be a fool, Chloe.

No, no, you would be brave.

What?

Because, because you would be brave because...

You would be going after the girl that you love no matter what everyone said

about her.

I can't.

God, I'm sorry.

I can't. Tell me that you love me.

Tell me that you love me. Tell me that you can be with me again.

Eddie!

We dodged a bullet, that's for sure.

Yeah, by paying out a huge settlement.

What great fortune. They had us over a barrel. They knew we didn't want this

thing going public, so we had to pay.

If I went to trial, I would have won. I did nothing wrong.

But you're right.

I lost my reputation, I'd lose my patience, I'd have to close that shop.

All's well that ends well.

This is the end, isn't it, Don? I can't afford to do it again.

Lesson learned. A very expensive lesson.

And you haven't received my bill yet.

But seriously, there's no reason you have to sleep with every employee.

Try keeping your stethoscope in your lab coat, if you know what I mean. Come on,

Brian. I don't sleep with all my employees.

Of course not.

But that receptionist out there is always extra curious about my little

visits.

You're filling her appointment book, aren't you? I went out a few times. It's

been over for a while now.

Maybe you should think about spending some time out of the office.

There are a lot of women out there who don't work for you.

It's not a problem.

I hope not.

But I'm not going to be surprised when I hear from her lawyer.

See you then. See ya.

Tom, are you okay?

I'm fine. I'm just worried about your brother.

Nobody knows where he is, and he hasn't called. I'm sure he's fine.

He's an idiot, not a moron.

Does that make sense?

He's resourceful. That's what I meant. He knows how to survive, so just wish

he'd call. He will.

In the meantime, I've got some good news to cheer you up.

I could use some good news.

So, um, you know how the other day you told me about your sister, Beth?

Right.

Listen, that was not easy for me. I know. But I'm glad we had the

conversation. Me too.

It was a relief to tell you about her. I mean, your father and I both felt that

you needed to know about Beth.

Well, now I know a lot more.

What do you mean?

I looked into it.

Adam helped me.

We tracked her down.

Her last address was at a rehab center in Vegas, which is great, because that

means she's not doing drugs anymore.

How amazing is that?

Mom.

Honey, I need you to leave this alone.

No, but Mom, I found her. You have to let it go, all right? I did, a long time

ago. I don't want anything to do with Beth.

I thought you'd be happy.

I appreciate what you're trying to do, but you have to stop.

Okay?

Beth is dead to me.

No.

No, there's no pool here. It's not that kind of place.

It's just the kind of place I can get away from my dad, do some business.

I don't know. I'm gonna be here a while, at least till we can find a place

together.

Just come and see me.

No.

No, there's no room service here.

Yeah,

who is it?

I'm here to buy, Chief.

Hey, I gotta go, Ed. I'll call you later.

Buy what?

Whatever you got to sell.

Who are you? Who says you?

Teddy B, you know me.

I used to hang with Ricky and them.

Come on, bro. I got cash on me, and I'm not liking the look of this

neighborhood. You feel me?

Yeah, hurry up. Get in.

Saul, you got left?

Doing good.

There's plenty of stuff left.

What are you looking around for?

I know you.

You're for color.

I'm sorry. The door was open. Lauren, come in. I don't want to interrupt.

It's okay. You weren't. Chloe was just leaving.

You two know each other, right?

Of course.

I'm just here for a work session.

A work session?

Chloe? No, don't worry. I was just leaving.

I wouldn't want to interrupt a session with your precious protege.

Do you want to show me the door?

It's right there.

It's all part of your little plan, isn't it?

My plan?

Yeah. Write a few mushy poems, stop by to work on a song, maybe bake him a

batch of snickerdoodles, hoping that he'll take you up into his bedroom.

Chloe, that's enough. No. Get out. Don't listen to me.

But just so we're clear, your whole wide-eyed Dorothy and Oz act, it's not

working. It's clear that you see Eddie as your golden ticket to fame and

fortune. That is enough.

Okay? Out. No, it's okay.

You're describing someone in this room.

It's not me.
