Previously on The Client List.

Cal Parks, you're under arrest.

He's behind your back.

Mr. Parks was arrested last night and is being held at Harris County Jail.

Alright, I'm hiring an attorney.

You are not bailing that man out of trouble. All we need is a $5,000

retainer. I don't have that kind of cash on me. How can I help you today?

I need to open a small line of credit on my house for some attorney fees.

Raleigh Parks, Detective Monroe. Detective Dunbar, Houston PD.

I played with Cal at UT.

Manny Monroe, Manny the Man.

Manny the Man might be a friend, but I'm not. Did Mr. Parks ever give you any of

his funds off the sale of the stolen car? No.

No one has given me any money. Why are you standing by him? He is Katie and

Travis's daddy.

Are you sure you're doing this for the kids, not you?

I promise.

I've been there for her, and there was nothing in it for you, right?

Don't you think we deserve a little selfish time?

Raleigh, what are you getting at? I think you should sell the rub. I'll make

payments. I'd be the owner. Think about it. I'm selling you the spa.

Okay. Jolene and Kendra just quit. Yeah, and Deanne hurt her knee at Zumba. I

called in a favor from one of my very powerful clients, Judge Overton.

After that nasty business with the councilman. But I'm not sure how much

longer I can keep them away from her.

Does that feel good to you?

Yeah, it's great.

Can I, uh, turn over now?

Oh, sure.

How's that pressure?

Oh, yeah.

You sure?

Oh, yeah.

Yeah.

Thank God.

You were amazing as usual.

You know, some girls, we get their feelings hurt that you cry, Walter.

Yeah, that's why you're my favorite.

You get me?

Oh, I'm sorry. I went over my hour.

Did you?

I didn't even notice.

Longest day ever. No, best day ever.

I'm telling you, Kyle getting arrested here was so good for business.

Less girls means more money for us.

And by us, I mean me.

Thank you. Little miss sensitivity.

Uh, what's wrong with you? I feel like my arm's about to fall off.

It's pecoritis.

Is that really a thing?

Yeah.

You know how some supermarket cashiers get carpal tunnel from working the

register? Except they're making change and you're making, well... Really?

Pecoritis? Yeah. Can you straighten your arm? Yeah, of course I can.

I told you. Oh my God, it's really a thing.

Yeah, well, just don't try to submit it for insurance.

Selena, stop.

At least it's only one solution.

Yeah, give me all your clients.

No, we have to hire new girls.

And by we, I mean me.

Ow.

Ow.

Hey,

I thought you said you were going to wait for me. Yeah, it's all right. I got

it. Didn't you say you hurt your arm at work?

No, it's just... You got that?

You got it. I'm so sorry. You all right?

How's your arm?

Ow.

You know, maybe someone should take care of your aches and pains for once.

That is nice.

For an amateur.

Very funny.

What the hell you got in here anyway?

A bunch of freaks?

Oh, no, it's a box of old pageant stuff.

Don't tell me you're busting out the old tiara.

Oh, that is a good look.

No, Katie needs a costume for this Texas Wildlife Day thing, and she wants to be

an armadillo, so I'm gonna make it.

Oh, that feels good.

Anyway, I know that I've got some fabric in here somewhere.

Super mom to the rescue, huh? Yeah, not to mention super uncle.

I already told the kids you were going.

Oh, Kryptonite couldn't keep me away.

You do anything Thursday afternoon?

Uh, let me think. Making this costume, casserole, and there's a hoarder's

rerun. As amazing as that sounds, I wanted to take you to someplace special.

Oh, I don't know.

I mean, it is a 300-pound woman whose home is overrun with bunnies.

I can do better than bunnies.

Pick you up at four?

Mm-hmm.

Bye.

Thank you.

Thank you.

The sign is perfect.

This place looks great. The food is fabulous. The ambience is to die for.

And the management.

You're looking at the new manager of Harold's Bar.

Houston's latest hot spot. The manager? Are you serious?

Harold needed a hand in running it. And if there is one thing I learned in all

my years at the rub of Sugar Land, it's... How to give a man a hand.

Okay, don't tell me.

Riley Parks.

I think Georgia can't stop talking about you.

I'm Harold. It's a pleasure.

Likewise. And thank you for freeing up my baby's time and handling everything

at the spa.

Oh, well, I'm an expert handler.

Well, welcome to my place. I'm sure we'll see each other soon.

Ladies, excuse me.

He is handsome, isn't he, though?

And as sweet as sugar.

That's why he can never find out about the spa.

Well, then, it's in the vault.

Honey.

I can't take cash.

But you said that I could make payments.

You're not changing your mind about selling the rug.

No, no, honey. I'm getting out of the game. But you can't pay me with this.

This deal has got to be completely above board for me and for you.

Okay. I'll get your check.

Sweetie, there's a girl here to see you about that. Wait for a second.

Okay. I'll be right there.

Look, Georgia, I'm getting ready to hire some new girls myself, so how do I know

who to trust?

Take your time.

Follow your gut.

There's a lot more at stake at the rub than just messing up a drink order. One

bad decision and everything we've worked for goes down the drain.

What's going on?

The judge moved up the bail hearing.

I tried to call you, but it was all over in ten minutes. Okay, what happened?

Well, we pled not guilty to first-degree felony larceny. So they're going to

release him on bail, and you told the judge that he's got family here? The DA

argued that he's a flight risk and a danger to the community.

Well, that's just ridiculous.

I mean, what's the bail?

$75,000.

Is that judge on crack?

$75,000, Kyle?

Court is concerned that Kyle might flee back to Mexico, not to mention his lack

of cooperation.

What do they want from him?

Confession, for starters.

Right now, the DA's case is entirely circumstantial.

They have no evidence tying Kyle to the crime. But if that stolen wire were to

turn up... And I told you that I don't have it. Okay, so what if they could get

their wire back from whoever did steal it?

If Vandermeer Construction were to recoup their losses, they'd most likely

drop the charges against Kyle.

And until that happens, you need to put up 10% of the bail, and a bondsman will

put up the rest.

You're looking at $7,500.

I need to speak to Kyle alone.

I'll be in touch.

Where the hell am I supposed to get $7,500, Kyle?

Everything is going to be okay. Okay?

There's nothing about any of this that's okay.

Now you need to return that wire. That can't happen. Why not?

Because I want nothing more to do with Mick Vandermeier.

That guy is nothing but trouble.

Graham just said if they get back what they lost, they might drop the charges.

Afraid your time's up, Mr. Parks.

Mr. Parks.

Scottie, mom told me the bell hearing happened. How'd it go?

Not good.

What can I do?

You happen to have $7,500?

Didn't think so.

Okay, first two verses.

The stars at night are big and bright.

Deep in the heart.

They were so great. Now, who wants ice cream?

Me! Well, then go get ready.

Okay.

Here you go.

Yes, thank you.

I'm really glad you guys came over.

It's sweet that they're friends.

So, how are the kids holding up?

I haven't told them yet.

Just wanted everything to be sorted out.

I was hoping that my line of credit would pay all of Kyle's legal fees.

Is there anything that we can do?

Do you have any more options?

I mean, I know you have some cash.

Not nearly enough.

It's like I'm underwater here.

Well, let me check into your finances again. We'll figure something out.

Oh, excuse me.

Hey, Georgia.

Riley, whatever you did with the client, let's make sure it's good and hidden.

There's no time to explain.

Trust me.

Everything okay?

You know what? Actually, it's a work emergency. I'm so sorry.

Come on, kids.

Let's go get some ice cream!

You, Mr. Armadillo.

Hey,

what are y'all doing here?

What's up, Riley? Riley Parks, we have a warrant to search your house.

Come on, guys, let's get to work.

Sorry about this, Riley. Ma'am, why don't you start in here? Yes, sir.

Oh, I'm sorry.

So, you guys still looking around for large spools of copper wire?

We're not looking for wire.

Well, you're not tearing my house apart for nothing.

No, we're looking for cash.

What cash?

The stolen wire was fenced last night in Biloxi by Kyle's accomplice.

Wait, you caught someone with the wire?

Kyle's accomplice is still at large.

Biloxi police arrested the men he sold the wire to.

They paid thousands in cash.

Yeah, you can keep looking around. You're not going to find anything.

Aiding and abetting a felon is a serious crime.

18 months in prison is a long time to spend away from your family.

I'm going to say it again.

You are not going to find anything here.

We'll see about that.

Let's check the bedroom.

Wow. Talk about your bedside manner.

Let's go and be thorough.

We can't all be as sweet as you, Riley, but my partner does have a point.

You really want to take the fall for a crime Kyle committed?

Allegedly committed.

Kyle was my man at UT.

I had his back on that football field and he had mine.

But he's changed.

This whole little walkabout with these pills in Mexico, a lady like you doesn't

deserve that.

He's still my husband. That hasn't changed.

He's an anvil, Riley, and he's pulling you down.

Now, if you want to cooperate, tell us what you know.

Line up and hold.

Let's move.

I cannot believe the police searched your house. I know. I've never felt so

violated. Neither has he.

You are very clever.

I'm just glad I got the kids out in time.

So when are you going to tell them?

I don't know. Hopefully Kyle will get out on bail and I won't have to.

You came up with the bail? That was fast.

I'm working on it.

Now, does this look like an armadillo to you?

Kind of.

I'm so overworked. Do you know that I've got 18 clients tomorrow?

Is that even humanly possible?

No, that's why I'm hiring some new masseuses. Well, how do you hire

therapists that do, you know, what you do? I don't. I'm getting some people who

do legit massages, and if they end up like me, needing the money, well, that

is completely up to them.

So you have no idea what goes on behind closed doors?

Oh, I definitely have an idea.

Like, I'm doing a room rental system.

You know, the more rooms I rent, the more money I make. Kind of like we rent

the chairs at the salon.

Except we just do blow dry.

Lacey, that is only Selena.

Well, how are you going to choose between all these applicants? I don't

know, but I'm glad there's so many. Because if I've learned one thing about

men, it's that they like all types.

Hello.

Do you have your massage license?

Wow, you look different from your picture.

Hi there. No, we don't do that.

Here, now.

You have a massage license?

Yeah, and I don't know if it applies, but I'm also an yoga instructor.

Oh, that's cool.

Believe me, I could use a shot of zen.

Hey there.

Hold on, let me find you.

Oh, looky there.

What was that?

I'm Nikki.

This place rocks.

Nice to meet you.

You're so pretty.

Well, thank you. Nice to meet you, too. Have a seat.

So it says here that you're a student.

Oh, it's just Houston Community College.

Nobody in my family ever went to school, so it's kind of a big deal. If my mom

had her way, I'd be a Dallas Cowboy cheerleader.

So what are you studying at school?

Accounting. I've got a thing for numbers.

Oh, well, that could come in handy around here.

So you're not working right now?

No.

I mean, I had a job, but it didn't work out.

Well, what kind of job was that?

Okay, well, look, I'm not proud of this, but I was dancing.

And not for the cowboys.

I mean, not for the Dallas cowboys.

Well, tuition's expensive.

Nothing to be ashamed of. Education's very important.

It's everything to me.

Anyways, so I got my massage license so that I wouldn't have to take off my

clothes at lunch for these horny guys that give crappy tips.

I shouldn't have brought up that stripping thing.

Look, I just want you to know, I really want this job.

Okay, well, if you really want it, there's just one more thing you're gonna

have to do.

This is really tight.

What have you been doing?

Taking care of everybody but me.

I'm sure it's a lot of work running this place, but...

You seem like you'd be a cool boss. Oh, thank you. That is really nice.

Hey, could you come back and do this again tomorrow?

You want me to come back?

Room seven is all yours.

Thank you.

Hey, Mama. We have a problem.

Yeah, I ordered the pizza already.

You need to come home now.

What on earth are they fighting about?

How come Dad... My daddy was on TV and nobody told me.

Who told you he was on TV?

Ethan told everybody at school.

You know what? Your daddy ran into some trouble at work. For what?

That's a little hard to explain.

Oh, do you remember the time you took the cookie? Because Katie didn't have

one and so you ended up doing something wrong trying to help your sister.

But why was daddy on TV?

Uh, because what Daddy took was a little bit more serious than that.

So the police had to take him to jail.

So Daddy's a bad guy?

No. Your Daddy's not a bad guy. He just... He made a mistake.

What are you two worried about? Mama's here. I got this, okay? Now go. Get

ready for dinner. Scoot. Go, go, go.

I just feel like I keep breaking their hearts.

You handled that so well, I couldn't have done half as good a job.

I hope that's pizza.

Riley Parks?

Yes.

That's from Kyle.

Are you crazy?

I have cops searching the house and you send some stranger over with dirty

money? Play it out, Kyle.

How can we take care of our kids if we're both in jail? Well, the original

plan was for me to deliver it myself.

Doesn't matter. It's still dirty money you stole from innocent people.

Innocent?

Fenner Meyer steals from everyone. Hell, that copper wire was probably stolen in

the first place.

It doesn't matter what they did.

We need to turn that money in. If you give that money to the cops, you are

giving the prosecution evidence that they need to convict me.

Is that what you want to do?

You want to send me to prison?

You do a fine job of that on your own.

Look, I'm not saying what I did was right.

I mean, you think this is the man that I ever wanted to be?

You don't understand how desperate I was.

I mean, I hated what I was doing, and it tore me up inside.

But I felt like I had no choice.

Now I need you to promise me that you're not going to make any rash decisions

here.

Let me introduce you to Selena.

Oh, Riley, hey, I'm leaving early. Check out this sale at Neiman's. Thank God for

these alerts.

33% off of an $825 bag.

That's like... The total is $587.30, which is a savings of $272.25.

Well, nobody likes a show-off.

Who the hell are you? This is Nikki, our new girl, and apparently a very good

math student.

Oh, really?

Nikki.

Well, do this math.

More employees cut into my purse fund, so you should leave. She's going to be

in room seven.

I do have good memories of room seven. You know what? Your client's here. His

name is Walter.

Walter?

I don't like that girl. Why? Because she's good at math?

No, no. I don't trust her. She was eavesdropping on our conversations.

Lord, will you relax? We need help with the client list, and this might be our

girl's name. Stop that. Yeah, Frank, that's if you can trust her.

Well, no soon enough.

How?

Because I'm testing her.

Your shoulders are really tight.

Yes, I got a lot of emotional tension built up.

Are there any other areas you would like for me to work on?

Yeah, you bet there is.

But first, can you pass me that box of tissues?

Hey there.

How was the first massage? It's always the hardest.

Yeah, since you brought it up.

Look, I'm not trying to get anyone in trouble, and I really need this job, but

my client Walter, he asked me for a happy ending.

Oh, God, that sounds awful, but you know what I mean. Oh, yes, and I am sorry.

Yeah, that won't happen again. I'm gonna talk to him.

I'm not gonna lie, it was kind of tempting.

He offered me a really big tip.

Really big.

So?

What stopped you?

You've just been so cool to me, and I know that this isn't that kind of a

place.

What if I said it was?

Look, 90% of what we do here is legit, but the other 10%... Is what Walter

asked for.

No wonder Selena can afford that $587.30 purse.

Look, what happens in your room is totally private.

And listen, you don't have to do anything that you're not comfortable

with.

Hi, I'm Karina, Ethan's mom.

I'm Lynette. Come on in.

I'm here to drop off some refinancing paperwork for Riley.

Your son Ethan owes Travis an apology.

Excuse me?

You had no business telling your son about Kyle.

I am so sorry.

It wasn't me. He was with his daddy over the weekend. He probably saw it on the

news.

No, I'm sorry.

This has just been so hard on everyone.

I'll talk to Ethan to make sure he apologizes. I would never want to upset

Riley. I've been in her shoes.

So, do you mind giving her these refi papers to sign?

Sure. I'll make sure she gets them. Thank you.

And again, I'm really sorry.

We got a problem.

Uh, okay. I'll be right there.

Selena, you need to get in your uniform right now.

Well, out of all the spas in all the world, you guys got a walk in the mind.

And for good reason. The money from the stolen wire still hasn't turned up.

Maybe it never will.

Or maybe Kyle gave it to someone he trusts, and they were smart enough not

to leave it at their house.

That's an interesting theory.

You're a detective.

I'm sure you'll figure it out.

So you don't mind if we take a look around, then? Can I see your search

warrant?

In case you guys are just gonna have to show yourselves out.

We'll be back with one, Riley.

Sooner rather than later.

And I look forward to it.

Excuse me.

I'm looking for Mick Vandermeier.

Yo, Mick!

Someone's here to see you.

What can I do you for?

I'm Riley Parks, Kyle's wife.

Well, it's a shame about Kyle.

Breaks my heart to have to do this to him.

But I had to set an example.

Look, I know that you think my husband made a mistake, but he wasn't involved.

So you came here thinking...

With your beauty and your obvious charms, that you could convince me your

husband didn't steal a semi-truck full of copper wire? No.

Actually, I came here to swear his account.

Took that from our family savings. I have two kids at home that really miss

their daddy.

And the half that his partner took?

I don't know anything about a partner. Look, I'm just here to clear up the

confusion about Kyle.

Okay, but if you still feel like you need more money, then I can make that

happen, too.

You know, I wish my third, hell, even my fourth wife were as stand-by your man as

you are, Mrs. Parks. I'm standing by my kids.

I understand that. I truly do.

And I'm a man who believes in squaring accounts.

Good. So then you're going to drop the charges against Kyle as long as I can

get you the rest of that money?

That would be the Christian thing to do.

But I'm spiritually adrift.

As far as I'm concerned, I've never met you.

You never gave me a bag of cash.

And my suggestion is next time, pick a man worth standing by.

You look like you could use a drink. I wish a drink could fix all this.

What's going on?

I don't even know where to start.

I mean, this Kyle thing, it's a real mess.

And it's not just affecting me personally, it's affecting the business.

Do you remember those two detectives I told you about, the ones that searched

my house?

They came to the rub.

Did they look around?

No, they couldn't. They didn't have a search warrant, but I'm going to tell

you they're going to get one.

A warrant to search the rub?

I mean, if the clients find out that the cops paid us another visit, we're going

to lose everyone.

Maybe I can make a few phone calls.

Call in a favor. Mr. Louis Vuitton kept the cops off your back.

Let's see if he can help again.

George, I didn't mean to get you caught up in all this.

Oh, honey, we're family.

Family look out for each other.

Thank you.

I can't.

Kyle... I mean, maybe I should just call Evan and cancel.

With all that's happening, you need to take a couple hours just for you, don't

you think?

No, what I think is that I should stay in.

No, you're going out. You deserve to be happy.

Um... Ah!

Remember? I got you this one.

Yeah, I mean, how can I be happy, though? My life's a big, hot mess.

You have two beautiful kids.

Well, that's very true, but you know what? Let's review.

I'm ashamed to tell them what their mama does for a living.

I have a top secret life in Sugar Land. My husband leaves me, then comes back,

gets himself thrown in jail for stealing copper wire.

Who steals copper wire? And on top of that, I'm dating my husband's brother.

Word. I mean, I am one step away from being a guest on Jerry Springer.

I love that show.

I do.

What did I miss?

So much, Mama.

You two been hitting the Chardonnay?

I wish.

Where are you off to?

I need to be nosy.

Anything you want to tell me? So badly, but I'm not going to.

Lacey Jean.

What's that, Travis?

Aunt Lacey's coming.

I can't believe we have this whole place to ourselves. How'd you manage it?

I did some roofing for the owner last week.

Told him I wanted to bring someone special, so he shut down early for us.

You okay?

Yeah, everything's great.

You know, as much as I love that beauty queen smile of yours, I can tell when

something's upsetting you.

Want to talk about it?

I'm so mad at Kyle. I don't even want to look at him. And every time I try to fix

this whole thing, it just gets worse.

Well, maybe I can help keep your mind off for a little bit.

You know, watching you lose is getting tiring.

Watch this.

You okay?

My club is bent.

How are you like 15?

When I'm with you.

I think I finally struck gold. Oh, is that what the kids are calling it? Come

on, let's see if I got a hole in one.

Don't you mean a hole in two?

Didn't come out.

F-ing.

I can't believe you did this.

Here's to focusing on the good. This is really sweet.

Hello? Yes, I'll accept the charges.

Hey, I just got phone privileges.

I was hoping I could say hi to the kids.

Uh, not right now.

Why not?

Because I'm not at home?

I'm just not at home.

Can I call back tomorrow?

At the same time?

Sure. And Riley, you might tell the kids that Daddy loves them.

Yeah, I'll tell them.

Okay.

Wow. Can we just rewind that whole last part?

Tough to do, but we can try.

I'm sorry.

I mean, I really am trying to get back to where we were when he was gone, but

he's just not gone anymore.

No, he's not.

But I'm not giving up getting us where we need to go.

And I think the universe agrees with me.

Yeah, but it still took away your hole-in-one.

I think that means I win, right?

Last night was amazing.

Hurry back.

Hope you had a nice time last night.

Riley!

Well, did you?

Did I what, Mama?

Have a good time last night.

Well, get your robe on.

Katie's costume isn't going to stuff itself.

Here, hold the tail.

Mama, are you sure this is not too much stuffing? It's supposed to be an

armadillo, not a big old T-Rex.

This is Texas. Go big or go home.

Hey, thank you for helping me out.

Oh, the banker lady stopped by. She wanted me to give you this. What's going

on? I need money for Kyle's bail.

Are you really going to take on more debt for him? What do you want me to do?

I mean, just let him stay in jail?

How does that help the kids?

I just need this whole thing to go away.

Maybe I could help with the money.

I could sell that little parcel of land that Bill left me. Mama, no.

Brixton Ranch? You love that place.

Some of my best memories are fishing off that bridge.

Ranch? It's a tin shack on a muddy creek.

Well, I appreciate the offer, but I got this.

At what cost?

I know what you're hiding.

Riley, you can talk to me about all these things. You don't have to keep all

these secrets.

I don't know what you're talking about.

Yes, you do. I didn't raise you stupid, and my mama didn't raise me stupid. I

know that. If you're scared to talk to me about all you've been hiding because

you think I won't be all right with it, I want you to know your mama's all right

with it. Okay, Mama, just to be clear, you're saying that you're okay with...

You dating Evan.

Why wouldn't I be?

Can't slip anything past you.

I know all your secrets.

And I'm so grateful that this is what we're talking about.

Hey, Georgia.

I called in that favor.

You don't have to worry about those detectives snooping around the rug.

How can I ever repay you?

It's not me you have to repay.

He asked for a little favor of his own.

He said he wants to do what?

Mr. Louboutin wants two girls at the same time. Now, come on, Selena. You

know you love these shoes.

I'm more of a handbag girl, but I'm... I'll do it.

He's dropping.

I told you I don't trust her. Oh, you snooze, you lose. Nikki, you're in.

No sex, right?

Absolutely not. Just some kinky stuff.

You know, he's a real nice man, generous with his tips. Are you sure you're okay

with this? Will you get out of here?

I'm in.

Tuitions do.

How's your pedicure?

Um... Hey, Judge.

Hey, darling.

Look, I can't thank you enough.

And for these two.

Well, I have to look out for my girls.

Well, I really appreciate it. Now, look, I got a little surprise for you today.

You do?

I do.

Well,

let's see now.

I'm guessing maybe a size 7.

Good eye, judge.

Welcome to the family.

Is that nice?

Perfect fit.

I just want to say thank you for taking a chance on me.

I'm really going to love it here.

And thanks for next semester.

You got it.

Manny?

Darn, you didn't bring your partner?

I left him at the office.

Got you a burrito.

Hope you like chorizo.

Thank you.

Something tells me you're not just here about bringing me a burrito.

Judge says there's no evidence you were involved in Kyle's crime.

It's because I'm not.

Here's the thing.

Dunbar and I, we got warrants on way less.

Oh, Manny, come on. You played football.

You know you don't win them all.

Maybe you just got unlucky this time.

Or maybe somebody pulled some strings to back us off your business.

I give massages for a living. Who would I know that has that kind of power?

Riley, you're in some kind of trouble.

Whatever it is, I can help.

I'm not just a cop. I'm your friend.

But be warned, the deeper you get into this, the harder it's going to be to get

out. And if Kyle's pulled you into something... It won't just be the money

or your freedom you could lose.

It'll be your family.

Thank you.

I'll see you around.

I lost my appetite.

Change of mind, you know where to find me.

Don't move.

Let me see.

Oh my gosh, you are the prettiest. and starved with dilly in all of Texas, but

where are you?

There you are.

Go get your brother.

She is so cute. Travis, Mom wants you.

So, who's all coming tonight?

You know, the usual you, Mama.

Evan? Yes, and if you want to know about the date, just ask.

Great. Where'd you go? Where'd he take you? What'd you do? I felt like a

princess. Oh, and a kiss from the prince.

Did I say that? Who?

It was a good kiss? Lacey and Jimmy are not in third grade. I'm not gonna date.

Hey, you guys look great.

I want you both to know that I'm very proud of you, and I know that your daddy

would be, too.

Okay, come on. Let's rehearse once for Aunt Lacey.

I'm ready. On three.

One, two, three.

The stars at night are big and bright.

Deep in the heart of Texas, the prairie sky is wide

and high.

Yeah, Katie's gonna sleep like a baby. She left it all on the stage. Where are

you going?

Oh, Lacey just wants to talk, you know. I'm not quite sure how long that's gonna

take.

Okay, well, sweet dreams.

Night. Night.

T.J. Braswell, a.k.a. The Camel.

Alex Stone, ripped abs, same gold drives, vintage Cadillac, has a wine

locker, 5,000 bottles.

Jeremy Diehl, the Duke.

Grant, law student, dad's on the Fifth Circuit Court of Appeals.

Hollis Overton, a.k.a.

Mr. Louboutin.

Good morning.

Well, hey, you missed a heck of a show last night.

And now I can see why. My God, are you okay? What happened?

I'm fine. I just got called into the night shift and got a little tussled

with a 4x6.

So you punched a 4x6?

Imagine my surprise when it punched back.

That's your story? You're sticking to it?

Yes, ma'am.

Well, okay.

So how did Katie do at the show?

Oh, well, other than a little mobility issue with that armadillo costume that I

made, it was, I must say, quite beautiful.

Well, I know beautiful when I see it.

Wow, this is, uh... Yeah.

Do you hear that?

I don't hear a thing.

What point exactly?

Hmm. No kids.

No nosy mama hanging around.

Oh, yeah.

Yeah, that's good. Keep talking.

So this would be our first time alone.

Oh, are you kidding me?

All right, Lori.

Oh, are you here with another warrant?

It's not about Kyle.

I heard some news on the scanner and I wanted to be the one to tell you.

That's your mother, Riley.

She's had an accident.
