Original subtitles

I come bearing breakfast.

Your favorite bagel sandwich and a double-shot espresso.

Oh, thank you so much, baby. This is just what I need.

Did you, uh, sleep here last night?

Well, I mean, I wouldn't call it that.

I was in the zone most of the night,

but I did manage to

doze off for a couple of hours.

I don't really love the idea of you crashing here, Dad.

Look, you didn't come all this way to bring me breakfast.

Did the prosecutor's office get you an undamaged copy

of the surveillance footage?

Not yet. They are still dragging their feet.

You want me to apply pressure?

Also, not yet.

I may take you up on that offer later,

but I actually didn't come here to talk about somebody's case.

Yeah? What's on your mind?

Your paternity results.

You should be getting those soon, right?

Yes.

Have you thought about

what you're gonna do if that baby's yours?

I have.

I want absolutely nothing to do with Hayley,

her pregnancy or that child.

- Vandanna. - [giggles]

Looking fabulous as ever.

Oh, thank you for joining me.

Like I'd miss an opportunity to catch up over morning cocktails.

I assume the second former Ms. Hamilton

will also be on the menu.

How I dream of the day when Hayley never crosses my mind.

But... her little bun in the oven has been confirmed.

And you're sure Bill's the father?

Who knows with that one?

We're waiting to find out, but it's a strong possibility.

Why? Hayley has been lying

from the second she got to Fairmont Crest.

What makes you so sure she's not lying about this?

That parasitic procreator seems far too confident.

It's like she knows she has the upper hand.

[groans]

Bill is just trying to get a reaction out of me,

saying he don't want nothing to do with this baby,

but he need to play with somebody else, not me.

Okay, so what happened?

I was totally ready to trade full custody for a check.

Couldn't even get the number out before he said me and this

would be a party of two because he don't want to be involved.

That's cold, but I'm not surprised.

I mean, Bill is pissed.

Man, I had a contract set, ready to lock this thing down, but...

I mean, sure, Bill, he's mad at me,

but he's always been a good father to his kids.

This should have been a done deal.

Well

when he takes a second to look at everything,

then he might change his mind.

Oh, so you want me to bet my whole future on a "might"?

Like you have other options?

Excuse you, but my back is never against the wall.

It's time to revisit our original plan.

Leaving the DMV?

Yep, starting fresh.

Look, ain't no way in hell I'm finna be

stuck raising this kid.

? ?

It is always a beautiful morning when I get to spend it

with one of my favorite nieces.

Oh, "one of"? Well, you're my favorite aunt.

Oh, smooth.

See what I did there?

Well, your text seemed urgent.

Is there an emergency? Everyone okay?

Well, I wouldn't call it an emergency, exactly.

KAT: I would.

It's you.

[sighs]

Senator. This is unexpected.

Care for a cup?

No, thank you.

I'd rather get straight to business.

I didn't know we had any. What's up?

I thought you should know that Martin and Smitty are

now aware of why Bill dropped the charges against Hayley.

Well, with the election behind them, it makes sense

that Martin and Smitty would be brought up to speed

on Hayley's blackmail attempt.

- Foiled attempt. - Mm.

Indeed.

And as to the elections, congratulations on Martin's win.

Family must be proud.

That's the other reason I'm here.

What would I have to do with Martin's win?

That's exactly what I intend to find out.

And I was having such a nice morning.

With all due respect, I'm not in the mood.

What are you accusing me of, Vernon?

You tried to insert yourself into Martin's campaign before.

Ah. I made a modest campaign contribution,

which was rebuffed.

Yes.

Which is why I wonder if you decided to take a new approach.

Martin received a late surge of votes on Election Day.

And you think that has to do with me,

and nothing to do with your very public

appearances on Martin's behalf

or Martin's own last-minute campaign push?

You still haven't told me what I need to know.

All right.

I had a little bit of dirt on the Coleman campaign,

but only if push came to shove.

Luckily, Martin won, fair and square.

That's it?

Mm-hmm.

Good.

If you'd interfered, it could have

harmed Martin's reputation and his career, put him at risk.

No need for the bully pulpit, Senator.

I'm just a guy who likes to make sure the scales are balanced.

In what way?

Martin was the best candidate.

He should have won in a landslide.

And you and I both know the only reason he had a dip

was because Smitty got arrested, thanks to the Impaler.

And what do you know about that?

The same as you.

Smitty was framed

because his work helped dismantle

the Impaler's operations in the DMV.

Still, if you think you'll ever have Martin in your debt again,

I'd advise you to go back to the drawing board.

I assure you, I haven't forgotten our terms.

If I ever need a Dupree, I know just who to come to.

Don't forget it.

DANI: Cheers, in spite of it all.

I'm here every step of the way.

- Thank you. - HEATHER: Dani.

Vanessa. Wow.

Both of you here at the same time.

This is my lucky day.

- Good to see you, Heather. - You, too.

Dani, thank you so much for that guest pass.

Oh, my goodness. The boxing class I just took

is worth the price of membership alone.

My guest pass is your guest pass whenever you want.

- HEATHER: Thank you. - Join us.

Oh, are you sure? I don't want to interrupt.

It looked like something kind of serious was happening.

I'm just waiting to see if my ex knocked up

that gold-digging guttersnipe.

So, you know, light conversation.

Oh, really?

Wait, is this the one that tried to kill him?

The very one. Hayley is the last person.

Bill would want to be tied to for life.

Wow. I know you still had a connection with him, obviously.

How are you holding up?

By the skin of my teeth.

But that stays between us.

I made a promise to my husband, and he can't know

that I'm struggling to keep it.

Okay.

You telling me, of all people,

that you're not gonna raise your child?

See, now, that's crazy.

Anyway, Bill hasn't made anything official yet.

You are not listening.

His mind is made up, so mine is, too.

Okay, think.

Even if Bill doesn't want custody,

he still has to pay child support.

Of course you would go back to money.

What else is there, cuz?

Money is the entire reason we are here.

See, now you're missing the big picture.

Pregnant plus 18 years makes me middle-aged

with stretch marks and eye bags.

Hard pass.

Okay.

So what's your grand plan, huh?

- Leave town. - Mm.

Have the baby someplace near a beach and dip.

Bill doesn't want it. I don't, either.

End of conversation.

Think, cuz.

That life insurance payout, that wasn't your jackpot.

This, this is your jackpot.

Man, ain't nobody paying ten million

for a crying, pooping brat.

But, you know, I'd gladly sign the legal rights over

to the richest family in California

because I am not raising this baby by myself.

What you got to say now, huh?

Please don't lobby for me to be an active father, okay?

I can't stand the sight of Hayley,

let alone the idea of having to co-parent with her.

Listen, none of us can stand the sight of Hayley right now.

And I can't pretend that I won't resent this kid.

You know, it's just a constant reminder of all her lies.

Hey, it is not my place to judge you.

Besides, we don't even know if the baby is yours.

Well, thanks for keeping an open mind. Here you go.

You know, a lot of people will probably think that I'm,

I don't know, being heartless.

Well, it's easy to have an opinion

when you haven't lived what you've lived.

Screw 'em.

My girl.

Although...

Hayley won't like hearing this.

She already knows.

And she'll be even more upset

when she finds out that I've taken action.

What do you mean?

I drafted a petition to terminate my parental rights.

Got Judge Collier to sign off already.

Would you have to pay child support?

It's a drop in the bucket compared to the alternative.

Got a copy of the termination order right there.

Signed and sealed, just needs to be delivered.

Let me do it.

I have a message for that girl, and I have been waiting

for the perfect time to give it to her.

- This is not an ambush. - It's an opportunity to vent,

surrounded by people you love.

[sighs]

It's not you guys that I'm mad at.

I don't even know why I'm taking it so hard.

Obviously, Dad is dealing with the most of it.

Dani and Naomi are upset, too.

Yeah, but they're rolling with it

so much better than I am.

It's perfectly normal for you guys

to have different reactions.

Martin and I did when it came to Eva.

And if you ask me, you're perfectly within your right to,

you know, crash out

when your world is turning upside down.

But what does a meltdown really solve?

You have been through a lot in the last couple years,

but I think this particular response goes a bit deeper.

What do you mean?

I think that this takes you back to the terrible day

that you walked in on your dad and Hayley having an affair.

I mean, given everything that has happened,

how are you not supposed to feel overwhelmed?

That's what it feels like.

- I, um... - [phone chimes]

[sighs]

And it just got a lot worse.

Naomi just left Dad's office.

He doesn't want anything to do with the baby.

Well, Dani, is there any reason for Andre to be jealous?

Not at all.

My sympathizing with Bill

is far from a threat to my marriage.

I can understand that.

Even when things were bad with Doug,

I never stopped caring about him.

You know, that's the difference between men and women, I think.

Men, when they're done with someone,

it's just like as if it never happened,

but women, we just

we remember how they made us feel.

Yes, but to be clear, I love my husband.

I have no desire to get back with Bill.

I get that.

But then why are you hiding anything?

I'm not hiding anything. I just can't give

the situation too much air when I'm home with Andre

because he deserves better.

You're concerned what this Hayley drama

will do to Chelsea and Naomi.

True. They're very worried about their father.

Yeah, but from everything I've heard about Bill,

he's pretty tough.

On other people, yeah, but when it comes to himself,

he's not the best at the whole emotional processing concept.

Oh.

Another thing men have in common.

Yeah, well... Uh-oh.

How are things with my brother?

We're fine. I'm more concerned with how

he's handling his complicated feelings about you.

Oh, well, thank you, Vanessa. I...

[laughs]: Dinner party didn't go so well, did it?

If you can even call it that.

It barely started before he shoved you out the door.

- HEATHER: Yeah. - Ooh. That sounds rough.

I'm sorry, Heather.

Yeah, there was an upside, you know?

The spanakopita he made was very good.

I am doing all I can to build a bridge

between you and your brother.

I'm not giving up.

You know, I've said that before. Joey's just stubborn.

But you know that.

Which is why I might need to do something

major.

Right now?

Right now. Yes.

I think I need to go talk to my brother right now.

Will you ladies wish me luck?

Good luck.

- [chuckles] - Thank you. Have a good day.

- She's a trip. - Yeah.

That's one way to put it.

Highly doubt Joey will have the same reaction.

Got some info.

I hope it's good.

Apparently, Bill wants nothing to do with Hayley or the baby.

Can't say I blame him.

Hamilton got burned,

and Hayley doesn't exactly scream Mother of the Year.

Well, Hayley doesn't want to raise the kid on her own.

She wants to skip town.

And the kid?

Purely transactional.

Plans to hand it off

to somebody in California for a fat check.

Does your cousin realize what a colossal mistake

that would be for her?

Boss, she's just talking, all right?

She won't follow through. I'll make sure of that.

Does she need to be reminded what waits for her if she does?

The message has been received, loud and clear.

This is why I came straight to you

to let you know what she had going on.

Uh, so you know you can trust me.

Well, you keep that up, you'll survive the thin ice you're on.

Your cousin... time will tell.

[knock at door]

[sighs] Naomi.

I'd invite you in, but I don't want to.

And I would happily forget my home training,

but you're with child.

I stopped by your house, boss.

Figured you'd need a change of clothes.

Oh. Thank you, Caroline.

You never fail to go above and beyond.

[Caroline sighs]

Happy to help however I can, but...

Never mind.

No, no, no, no. We are way past that, all right?

Go ahead. Get it out.

You seem to be avoiding your house.

Well, if you were in my shoes, would you want to be there?

You know, everywhere I turn, there's a reminder of Hayley.

I get that, but you can't continue on like this.

Working all night to avoid reality?

It's not healthy.

Okay, I retract my statement.

We can go back to "never mind."

I'm serious, Bill.

You have to put a stop to what you're doing,

right here, right now.

One of us was raised behind those protective gates,

and one of us grew up in the real world.

Pregnant or not, I'd still wipe the floor with you.

I came here to drop this off, you fake-ass tough girl.

Surely, you were notified from the court.

- When a petition is filed... - Oh.

You were supposed to be partner at your father's firm.

You're now what, his courier?

His daughter.

Oh. What, you're all worked up and ready to let me have it?

Hmm? Is that it?

You may have avoided prison, Hayley,

but justice comes in many forms.

Karma is for losers like you.

You see, I create circumstances,

just like I created this life.

This lie, you mean.

Call it whatever you want, okay?

But, you know, maybe next time you'll think twice

before inviting a complete stranger into your world.

I cannot wait for the day you get

knocked on your bony ass.

Mm, funny.

I mean, you used to think the world of me.

But you know what?

I guess you might be kicking yourself for being outsmarted.

You a sucker, Naomi, and suckers get got.

Should I call Joey? I feel like I need to warn him.

About his own sister?

He and Heather have a complicated relationship...

Lots of old wounds to heal and new ones developing.

From what she's said, Heather and Joey are pretty much

the exact opposite of me and Nicole.

All they do is talk around each other

instead of actually hearing the other out.

Maybe I should just, uh, go... go talk to them.

Vanessa, sweetheart, I say this with love:

Mind your own business.

You don't know them.

Not as well as you, no,

but it sounds like your partner and his sister have some issues

that they need to work out by themselves.

You don't want to get caught in that cross fire.

[knock at door]

Hey, up for a visit?

Depends on the visitor.

Oh.

What you reading?

This?

This is an article about Martin Richardson's reelection.

Ah, yeah, I heard he won.

Disappointed? Oh, come now.

- That was some stunt you pulled. - Hmm.

Getting his husband framed, his husband arrested.

Put quite a crimp on the old campaign.

Well, Martin proved victorious. Whoop-de-do.

And Smitty, you know,

Smitty learned a-a very valuable lesson about the effect

of his little investigative series.

- So it's a win-win. - Well, regardless,

I wasn't gonna let you do any more damage.

Hmm, that's intriguing.

What did you do?

Martin's opponent, Coleman,

he has a contact in the prosecutor's office,

and they had some evidence

that would have been useful to Smitty's attorney,

but Coleman made sure that.

Smitty's attorney never got that.

Oh. What kind of evidence?

The doctored video that got Smitty arrested

- in the first place. - Oh. Yes, that.

Yes, that. That would have been

some bombshell lead for the defense.

Hmm. I see, so you were gonna use this little video

of misconduct, in case Martin didn't get elected.

And, uh, so now you have Coleman and this "contact" of yours

in your back pocket for a rainy day. Nice job.

Well, I'm not fishing for compliments.

I just want you to know you're not the only one

moving pieces on the board.

Noted.

Oh, Joey. Look at us.

Is this all that we're ever gonna be?

Just animosity and mind games?

Appears so.

God, I just miss, like.. . I just want to be your sister.

You are my sister.

But it begins and ends there.

I don't think I wanted to admit this yet. I don't...

Whew. Sounds so, um... final.

It sounds like you're just really done with me.

I've said everything I needed to say.

Okay, then.

I guess I'll just go back to London.

For good.

The hits have just kept coming,

since that day Mom and I caught Dad and Hayley.

It's been etched into my brain,

and now knowing she's pregnant...

Oof. For real this time.

And Dad deciding to be hands-off, it's

it's bringing up all sorts of things.

Why don't you just focus on the things that you can control?

Everything else, you can take day by day.

It's hard to be in the moment

when all I can think about is that baby.

I'm already mentally preparing to be a big sister.

We don't even know if that baby is Bill's.

If it is, despite what Dad said,

I refuse to believe he won't eventually step up.

I mean, abandoning that child

to spite Hayley, he wouldn't do that.

But don't you think it would be better if Hayley just

took that child and disappeared?

We can all go back to living our lives.

Hayley can go straight to hell. .. I'm with you on that...

But that baby is innocent.

Take it from me, you do not want to be shackled with some

side sibling that nobody asked for.

I am still waiting for the day for Eva and Leslie

to just vanish into thin air.

I know you're coming from a genuine place.

Eva showed up a grown woman.

She was raised and influenced by a jaded and bitter mother.

This baby can be raised in love.

They'd have Dad, me, Naomi.

But Bill doesn't want that.

And I don't blame him.

There's nothing endearing about a bonus family.

That child is Dad's flesh and blood, and mine, too.

That has to count for something.

I hear you, Chelsea, but in order for that to happen,

Bill will first have to accept who the mother is.

And as of right now, that is highly unlikely.

Caroline, you are so much more than my employee,

but you will not tell me what to do.

Not trying to, but you've been spending

nearly every waking hour in this office.

The couch is nice, but it can't be as comfortable as a bed.

Okay. All right, then what are you suggesting?

Let me book you a hotel suite.

I considered that myself,

but you don't have to worry about it

because last night was an exception.

So you're going to go

- back to the house? - Mm-hmm.

Tonight and every night after.

And you'll be okay there?

Well, I guess we'll see.

If it comes to it, I can make a reservation anytime, okay?

Yeah. Yeah, thanks, Caroline, but I really have to prepare

for the Hecht deposition tomorrow.

Okay? So can we get to it?

Of course.

You are not nearly as clever as you think.

You're trying to get me to snap?

What are you thinking, a battery charge?

- Not at all. - Hmm.

Actually, you can accept my thanks, and we can move on.

Your thanks?

You were my key into Fairmont Crest.

I owe you everything.

You and Desperate Dani were basically

tripping over yourselves to invite me into this place.

Girl, you looked so worn and beat down,

it was easy to believe your sob story.

Speaking of easy, your dad.

Uh, I know I'm fine, but dang,

he couldn't keep it in his pants to save his life.

Of course, all men are like that.

You know, how's Jacob?

Okay, bitch, you might actually get your wish.

Mm. Where was this girl during our friendship?

She would have been fun.

Hayley, you can try to front all you want,

but your clock is ticking.

You can't exactly scam more men when you're showing.

And we both know your body

is the only thing you have going for you.

Mm, same body that got Daddy hooked?

But don't worry about me, I have a plan.

Oh, we all know how successful those tend to be.

If Bill doesn't want to be a father again...

Which I'm sure is what's in that envelope...

Then I damn sure ain't finna be a mother.

I'm popping this baby out, and then I'm moving on with my life.

You'd give the baby up for adoption?

What I do with it is my business.

But, you know, you should understand.

I mean, you never wanted a whiny brat clinging onto you, either.

So now run and tell Bill this.

If he thinks he can stick me with this kid,

he better think again.

Daddy. Over here.

- DANI: Good morning. - VERNON: Good morning.

- Oh. Is Mother with you? - Mwah.

No, I'm on my own this morning.

- Hi, Vanessa. - Hi.

Yeah, I'm meeting with a client from Celia Dean's firm.

I'm a bit early, though.

- Glad you can join us. - VERNON: Mm.

Yeah. Let's get you some coffee.

Good idea.

Hey, Vanessa, how are you? How are the twins?

Everyone's well.

- Thanks for asking. - Mm-hmm.

But I'm glad that we caught you.

Are you?

I have a question that I have been dying to ask,

and only you can answer it.

You expect me to believe that you'll

just leave the DMV and never return?

Yeah, I do, because that's the truth.

You just bought a condo.

So I could get close to you. See how well that's gone?

So you just get everything you want, you know,

just get your life back without me interfering.

Why don't you throw in Uptown while you're at it?

You serious?

Well, I bought it to get your attention.

So what the hell am I gonna do with it now?

If that's a real offer, we'll draw up the papers.

Just like that, huh?

I really miscalculated.

[breathes sharply]

I'm usually not this wrong. I feel like, um...

Just, I hoped for...

I don't even know what I was hoping for.

It doesn't matter anymore.

I hear you.

Heather...

Wait.

I hate to be this much of a fangirl,

but I must know how the recording session went

- with the Articulettes. - [laughs]

It was wonderful seeing Anita back in her element.

Sharon and Tracy sang beautifully, too.

I heard great things about Devon's producing skills.

Oh, he was nothing short of amazing.

Oh.

I'm so excited to... to see the single released.

And how was she who shall not be named?

Leslie surprised us all.

And she was really struck by her mother's voice.

It's so sad the world couldn't hear it until now.

I know how much this meant to Mother.

I can only imagine how special it felt

to be back in the studio with her groupmates.

All of them.

Mm. It was powerful.

And more importantly,

Anita finally was able to get the closure

she's needed all these years.

You know, this isn't.. . isn't easy for me, Heather.

You're my family.

You're the only one that's ever loved me. .. for me.

Dad... Dad didn't know how to see me. He just couldn't.

Then Mom, poor Mom, she was no help.

Do you remember surprising me?

You-you came home, you popped back in, and...

Do you remember this?

Well, the surprise was on me.

That idiot boyfriend of yours.

I could hear the yelling all the way down the street.

Chad.

Chad.

Yeah, he hit me so hard, my head flew against the wall.

Yeah. Before I knew it, my hands were around his neck.

Your head hit the wall, but I got hit with blind rage.

You protected me.

You always protected me.

Chad never laid a finger on me after that.

Matter of fact...

I've never seen Chad again after that, Joey.

Well, you were my kid sister.

It was my duty to look out for you.

I still see glimpses of that girl.

But it's not truly her.

And I can't ignore the woman you've become.

Damn, girl, you carrying triplets?

The waffles and the whipped cream are for me.

I needed a little pick-me- up after how today's been going.

Okay, so what happened after I left the hotel?

Naomi stopped by with a document from Bill.

Document?

I-I didn't read it, but I know what it was.

Bill is terminating his parental rights like I told you he would.

That quick?

He ain't playing about not being involved,

and Naomi, with her self-righteous ass,

couldn't wait to deliver the news.

But joke's on her.

I told her I ain't gonna be a single parent.

Well, Naomi won't be the only one to pass that message on.

How? I mean, she's the only one who knows besides us.

Nah, cuz.

Joey knows, too.

Are you crazy?

Why the hell would you run your mouth to Joey about my plan?

What did you ever see in that woman?

I swear I could wring her little neck.

Um...

Bill, I'm gonna...

Okay.

Well, I take it the delivery to Hayley didn't go well.

She had the nerve to call me a courier

for bringing the termination of parental rights,

and then she didn't even take them

because she was too busy gloating

about how she fooled us.

Okay. Hey, Naomi, calm down.

No, I'm not gonna calm down, Dad.

I hate her, and I cannot believe that I was so naive.

Okay, Hayley is not worth the energy.

Now, I certainly won't spend an ounce more on her,

and you shouldn't, either.

Well, that's easier said than done

because she's got a few more tricks up her sleeve.

What do you mean?

Hayley is not done

playing games with your life.

I'm not asking you to forget

about the person sitting in front of you.

I'm asking you to love and accept her anyway.

I don't know how you could even ask me that.

After what you did, that. .. it keeps me awake at night,

wondering what I'd have to do to you if you hurt Vanessa.

What?

Vanessa? Oh, is this about the carjacking?

I told you, I was in London when that happened.

You're lucky that she was just shaken up.

If she was really hurt

Heather, you know I'd have to retaliate.

Of course you would, and no one would blame you for that.

Vanessa is who you have to protect now.

I've had to go down a few slots.

I meant what I said. I'm sorry it's come to this.

But I think it's best you leave.

Understood.

Vanessa can get your condo back on the market,

and I'll have my attorney draw up

a purchase agreement for Uptown.

Oh, sounds like you have it all figured out.

Okay. I'll just need a couple days to tie up loose ends.

A week.

You have a week.

A week.

[sniffles]

If you'll excuse me, I think my work has arrived.

- Go get 'em, Daddy. - Nice chatting, Vernon.

You, too. Ciao.

- Oh, Dani. - DANI: Hmm?

Did Bill get the results back for his paternity test?

Not sure. I'll hear from the girls soon enough.

Mm.

Not Bill directly?

Nope. I am practicing the concept of healthy distance.

I think that's an excellent approach for everyone involved.

Enjoy your breakfast.

Bye.

Do you feel better about things

now that you've said some stuff out loud?

This helped, but I still don't know

what's going on with Dad, and that worries me.

We can always do it again.

You know we're here.

I probably have racked up

a million listening minutes from you,

so you have my ear whenever you need it.

You will be managing a lot in the coming months. We all will.

But I promise you this, we will get through it together.

So if you need help remembering that,

you just come right back here.

Thank you, Aunt Nicole.

I want some, too.

[laughter]

Thanks, you guys.

- Love you. - Love you.

The guy put out an order to-to kill me.

Of all people in this town, why would you tell Joey

about my plan to leave?

I had to build back trust with him.

Oh, please.

You served me up to save yourself.

To save us both.

That baby that you are hell- bent on selling protects us both.

Joey is at the very top

of the list of people that you have pissed off recently.

This is you trying to force my hand,

trying to force me to stay here and raise this kid.

I still stand by what I said.

Once Bill knows that the baby is his,

he will change his tune.

- He won't. - He...

He will.

It is one thing to say

that you do not want to be in your child's life,

but trust me, as a father, it is a whole nother

- to actually walk that walk. - [phone chimes]

It's the paternity test. Results are in.

You're not gonna read 'em?

I already know what it says.

Bill's the one who needs to catch up.

So, Hayley is claiming that she won't do it on her own, huh?

That she'll give up the child

before taking care of it as a single parent?

It's probably just another ploy.

She's trying to get you to come running back.

And she thought this baby was her Hail Mary.

Yeah, well, she can do and say

- whatever the hell she wants. - [phone chimes]

I won't be manipulated.

Everything all right?

Yeah. Yeah.

Uh, it's just a client. Look.

I'm sorry, honey, but I- I really got to get back to it.

Oh, yeah, sure, I will get out of your hair.

But, Dad, please take care of yourself

and don't let Hayley steal another night from you.

I won't. Uh, thank you for coming by, sweetheart.

- Of course. - Mm.

[sighs]

The Impaler is determined that I go to prison

so that my investigation doesn't reveal his true identity.

I do want to help you...

Just shut up, you stupid bitch.

"Heart Attach"? The escort service?

She said they liked my look, and they told me how it works.

And so you're considering becoming an escort?

Kat is having a hard time accepting

that it is completely over between Dad and Nicole.

What's happened?

The paternity test results are back.
