Previously on Saints and Sinners.

It's not even a real clinic.

We're only interested in one type of procedure.

- Corine, what is he doing?

What are we moving?

We sellin' the organs to the highest bidder, baby.

[police siren]

Get out of the vehicle!

You're under arrest for illegal organ trafficking.

God answered my prayers.

[Clapping]

He's my son too.

You are awaiting trial for murder.

You're not fit to be his father.

I didn't do it, Tamara!

I've been waitin' down here for about an hour.

I am worth the wait.

[Grunting]

Uah!

[Grunt] [Moan]

I know you need a job, and I know I'm offering you one.

You better hold onto that smile as long as you can.

I'm gonna smack it right off your punk-ass face.

Uah!

Look at me.

[Thrilling Music]

You killed your brother, Felicia.

[Dramatic Music stings out]

+

Rex,

I don't know what game you're tryin' to play.

There are no games, Felicia.

- Just look at it again. - No!

I'm not Ella.

You're tryin' to mess with my head.

Felicia...

it's just the truth.

Look...Malik, sorry. Malik,

come on. Oh god.

[Crying] Oh.

Don't be stupid.

I already made a copy.

[Dark Ominous Music]

Malik.

Help, help me.

Call 911.

[Sighs]

[Malik groans]

Felicia,

- Felicia... - Tamara!

You left all your shares to Tamara?

[Malik exhales]

- Help. - I gave up-surge 10 years of my life.

- Ah. - And you kicked me out.

[Bottle rests] Why Malik? Why? Why? Why?!

You don't even know her!

Felicia, no!

Malik...oh, okay. I'm sorry.

Wake up, wake up, wake up.

I'm sorry.

[Shallow breathing]

Help me. Hold on.

[Shallow breathing]

Oh my god.

[Phone ringing]

Rex...

help me. Please help me.

Please!

How'd you get this?

- You called me.

I'm your knight in shinin' armor.

[labored breathing] Malik...come on.

Malik.

[Theme Music] * Go on, lift your hands, give god the praise

- * I fell so hard - * Hey

- * Lost my faith in god - * Hey

- * I couldn't even pray - * Hey

* So I say

* We're just sinners

* Saved by grace

- Mm hm. - Woa.

[collective laughter]

- Diamonds are a girl's best friend

- I know [laughs]

Are you lookin' for anything in particular?

Sis, I'll know when I see it.

So when are you gonna ask her?

At the baby shower.

I mean I figure that's the perfect place, since everybody we care about will

- ...be there. - Mm, I like that.

- Yeah. - Yeah, okay.

Let's see, that's pretty.

Wow.

May I see this one please?

- This one? - Yeah.

Man...

Here you go.

[Christie sighs]

wow!

- Eh...it's beautiful.

I know!

And I know she would love this one.

Any woman would love this one.

- Okay. - I'm tellin' you.

- It's so beautiful.

Damn.

Do you have anything similar with a few less zero's?

[muffled scoff] I'll see what I can find for you.

[sigh] Kendrick, I don't think you're going to be able to

find something in your price range as beautiful as that one.

Yeah, but I can't afford to go into debt for the rest of my life over a ring.

For me, it's the love that matters.

I don't know.

[Tranquil Instrumental Music]

Get the ring.

I can't. I can't do that.

Excuse me, Miss...

mm hm.

[Kendrick] Wha?

He will be buying that ring.

Of course.

Where'd you get that kind of money from? I can't

- ...what? - Can't I just be happy for you.

But sis, it's gonna take me an eternity to pay you back.

Well it's a good thing I'm not asking you to.

We're family. I want to help.

Money comes and goes.

But I know with cash like that,

that usually comes with interest.

So I'm just sayin' just be careful, okay.

- Here you go.

I am.

[laughs]

So why didn't you go to the cops?

- Why would I snitch on you when I could collect on a favor?

Ready this.

[Pensive Instrumental Music]

Oh my god.

That's all we need.

Seems Malik was full of confessions.

- What do you want?

I want us to help each other.

No, you want me to help you.

Don't you want payback?

- Payback? I killed my brother. - Yeah.

It was an accident!

Besides, Malik ain't no angel. He kicked you out of up-surge

like you were nothing.

And now Victor is groomin' Ella

to take over as CEO.

Ella? What in the hell does

Ella have to do with up-surge?

Ella...is your sister.

How?

Victor is her father.

He ain't never told you.

[laughter] Classic.

He never tells me anything, just like Malik.

Another addition to the litter trying to take my CEO seat

- [long inhale and exhale] - That's your seat and you know it.

I know.

But if this truth comes out,

- ...I don't think I'll be able to handle it. - It ain't gonna come out.

I'm the only one who knows.

Do you wanna stay here and keep hittin' the bottle,

runnin' away from your problems?

Or do you wanna come back to Cypress and take what belongs to you?

[Thoughtful Music]

What's in it for you?

[clothes rustling]

Listen,

I'll keep your secret, just like I have.

But I need one thing from you.

[heels clacking]

Oh god, how is he?

What are you doin' here?

- The hospital called me and-- - For what?!

So you can finish the job?

What are you talkin' about?

You know who did this. You know that it was Victor.

- No, it was-- - You're the one who got him so hyped up with

your lies about Miles.

- Lies? - Yes, lies!

And now Miles is in there fightin' for his life. He could die, Tamara!

Well at least he has you here to protect him.

Just leave.

No, tell me, Josie. How long have you been protecting Miles?

Get your hands off of me, Tamara!

Was it before we got married?

After?

While I was pregnant with our child?

You know what, you don't get to do this. You don't get to come in here

and check me!

I was the one who told you to fight for your marriage.

Yeah, while you were sleepin' with him.

That is not true!

You were the one who threw your marriage away!

You were the one who tried to marry Malik

before the ink was even dry on your divorce papers.

Yeah. And you were so sad about that, right?

You were there for Miles-

my friend...my sister-

givin' my husband a shoulder to cry on.

[Dark Suspenseful Music]

But you gave him so much more than that.

[sighs] I gave him what he needed.

when you threw him out like the trash.

- You picked him right up. - Whatever.

I loved you,

and I trusted you

with my child,

and with my husband.

Miles is not your husband

anymore.

[scoffs] Just leave, Tamara.

[Dark Ominous Music]

[heavy knocking]

[crickets chirping]

[sighs]

[suction sound]

What do you want, Rex? It's in the middle of the night.

Oh no, no. It is too late for that.

I don't want anything from you.

Would you open it, please?

Consider this a peace offering.

I took your advice and I'm moving on.

You don't think I know what you're doin', huh?

Slashing tires, making threats.

You're tryin' to turn my father against me. Make him think I can't handle you.

You can't handle me.

And you really think Victor's gonna make you CEO?

Or is he danglin' a carrot to make you do what he wants?

He's not danglin' anything.

He already called the board.

There's a meeting Monday, and he's makin' plans to announce my appointment.

Really?

Well I wouldn't make up those business cards just yet if I were you.

But you can um...you can keep the pen.

You have a good night, Ella Mae.

[Thrilling Synthesizer Music]

Ooh.

[door opens]

[Dramatic Music stings out]

[sighs] up-surge is announcin' a new CEO.

What? That was fast.

Yeah, it was. Malik's body isn't even

cold yet.

[scoffs] You know that Victor, he's a piece of...work.

Where did you hear this...Levi?

No, no. And I can't tell you my source, but

we gotta move fast on this.

Okay, call Anita. She can run it.

No, you should do it.

Me?

Yeah, look...you already know the information.

We need a fresh face on the news, and

this will be the perfect story for you to get your toes wet.

No, this story should go to someone more seasoned.

You can do this.

You believed I could be a CEO. I know

you could be a reporter.

Come on, Angela Parks....professional tea spiller.

[Quiet Melodic Music]

Okay.

Thank you. Hey Mom, I just wanted to drop off some of the

gifts. My work schedule is chaotic right now and I wanted

to make sure they got here in time for the shower.

- Thanks. - Sure.

Um...

is all of that from you?

Yep.

- Wow. Your residency can't be paying that much.

I've been working a lot of overtime.

And besides, I wanted to celebrate Kendrick and

Stacia, and the newest member of our family.

- [gasps] - Okay.

A and speaking of family, you really should meet your grandfather,

Victor. He's already done so much for us.

You mean so much for you?

- What? - You had a murder wrap hangin' over your head...

and you came this close to bein' kicked out of office.

Yet here you are, hosting baby showers like

you don't even care.

[inhale] I know you, Mom. I know you're working some kinda angle.

I can only assume Victor is helping you.

Victor is your grandfather, and he got Kendrick a job.

And stop makin' assumptions about my moves

while you're throwin' cash around like somebody who didn't

just get out of prison. [phone dings]

Yeah, maybe we should talk about the angles you're workin'.

- Oh my god. - Christie, we are not finished here.

Don't you walk away from me.

What are you gonna do? Choke me again?

I'll be back in the morning to set up for the shower.

Kendrick and Stacia deserve some happiness.

Maybe we can give that to them without adding to your body count.

[footsteps receding]

Wassup, old man?

We need to talk.

What? You wanna talk about your new granddaddy?

Fancy-ass job you got up at up-surge? That what you wanna talk about?

Well at least it's legal.

You know what, man? Don't come here with that.

You begged me for a job, and I gave you one.

I didn't know what they were transportin'.

Yeah, but you will throw anybody under the bus just to

keep yourself outta trouble.

Well if you feel like that, why did you bring your Black ass in here?

Huh?

Listen, man...I didn't come here to argue, alright.

I came here to invite you to the

baby shower.

Why would I wanna come to the baby shower?

Look...

I'm proposin' to Stacia.

And I want you and mom to be there.

I mean y'all wadn't there for me growin' up, but I figure

here's your shot at bein' good grandparents.

And you think that's a good idea?

Yeah!

I mean I want us to be a family, a real one!

Well how well do you know Stacia?

Well enough!

And you think you know her well enough to make a lifelong

commitment to her?

I already got a lifelong commitment to her.

She havin' my baby, your grandchild!

Let me tell you somethin'.

Stacia was Ella and Leona's keeper of all the secrets.

Yeah, and so were you.

- Oh yeah. See I see what it is.

I see exactly what it is.

[Ominous Suspenseful Music]

[laughter]

That thing must be real good, huh?

Cause she got you wrapped right around her finger.

Don't she, huh?

Don't be talkin' about my lady like that, man!

- Are you crazy, boy? Are you crazy? - Hey get off me, man.

Don't you ever on your life put your hands on your father again.

I swear I'll kill you.

[Dark Ominous Music]

You know what?

If you can't respect me and my family,

then don't come. Matter of fact,

don't bother comin' around us at all!

Get your ass outta here.

[Ethereal Music]

[Phone ringing]

Victor Thompson speaking.

- Hi, this is Angela Parks from WQCL.

I have credible sources stating that there's about to be a shake-up

with the CEO position at up-surge.

Care to comment? [golf ball nicks glass]

Who told you that?

Like I said, I have my sources.

- I'll pay for your sources.

[smirks] No, my sources and I can't be bought.

Are you sure about that?

Very sure.

No comment.

[phone ringing]

- Yes, sir.

Kareem, I need you to take care of something.

The name...

is Angela Parks [club knocks golf ball]

[Dramatic Music stings out]

[car door shuts]

[keys jingling]

Excuse me, excuse me! Ms. Perkins?

Do I know you?

No, no you don't.

I follow your daughter Jessica's story, and I wanted to say I am so sorry

for your loss.

My loss?

What do you mean?

Regarding her death.

My daughter's not dead, she's missing.

Who told you that?!

Oh I'm sorry. Weh when I spoke to the police--

- I spoke to Officer Richards today.

He's following up on new leads.

Who are you?!

Nobody, and I am so sorry. I have clearly

made a mistake. I, I hope you find her.

[Ms. Perkins sighs]

[Tranquil Instrumental Music]

[exhales]

[keys jingling] - Nice flowers.

[Quiet Instrumental Music]

Jabari, right?

Yeah, do I know you?

Nah, you don't know me.

But I know you.

Gag order. No more stories about up-surge in your little station.

You got me?

[smirks]

[Sinister Instrumental Music]

Um, hi Officer Richards. I wanted to know if there's an update on the

Jessica Perkins case?

There's no updates, but I'm actually on my way out the door.

Next time just call me, okay?

I spoke to Jessica's mother,

Tanya Perkins. Why doesn't she know her daughter is dead?

Why are you speakin' to the victim's family? that's harassment.

Get your hands off me!

I ran into her. I wanted to express my condolences.

stay away from her.

Next time you're gettin' locked up.

- What?! Locked up for what? - You heard what I said.

[Suspenseful Music]

[laughs]

My man, right on time.

[background chatter]

- [Rex] See that's what I like about you, boy. You right on time.

- [laughs] - How you feelin'?

- What's goin' on? - Good to see you, Big dog.

- Yes, now everything good?

- Inside. Talk this business.

[door opens]

[Eerie Instrumental Music]

[door shuts quietly]

- They still investigatin' the orderly.

It's only a matter of time before they come after you.

- If you had told me what you and your people were movin' man,

I coulda helped you out without you gettin' caught.

Yeah.

But if you ask me, this has Ella and Victor written all over it, man.

I tell you what,

I'm a take care of it on the police side.

Alright.

- Switch out the VIN numbers on the vans,

- Uh huh. - Link it to [indistinct] so they ain't...

comin' back to you, alright.

- Good.

But after that, we can't use you no more, Rex.

What?

Boss's orders. You got too many eyes on you, man.

[crashing]

- [Rex] What's that?

[unlatching]

[Thrilling Instrumental Music]

- Tamara, please forgive me. My meeting ran over

but I am pleasantly surprised you wanted to stop by.

Yeah, I'm not sure if you heard, but there was an incident.

Miles was attacked.

Attacked?

Yes, he was almost beaten to death.

He's not out of the woods.

I see.

Ah...I'm not sure what you want me to say. Why I don't endorse violence,

I won't loose any sleep over my

son's killer receiving some karmic payback.

That's my son's father.

I'm very aware of that fact.

Did you do it?

Excuse me?

Did you have anything to do with the attack on Miles?

[Suspenseful Music]

No.

I would never do that.

Not even for some karmic payback?

Tamara, I want justice not petty vengeance.

Despite my disdain for Miles, I would never put him in harm's way,

knowing that it would hurt you and your son.

I believe you. I'm sorry, I'm just--

No, no, no, no. No need to apologize.

You've been under a lot of stress. I understand.

Thank you.

You know I've been thinking. Between the

custody battle and Miles' trial, you

you've got a lot on your plate.

There may be a way I can help alleviate some of that pressure.

How so?

Perhaps I can buy your shares at up-surge.

Malik left you a substantial sum. If you cash in,

you certainly won't have to worry about finances again.

Could be a fresh start for you and Austin.

I'd um...I'd have to think about that.

Of course.

I'm not trying to rush you.

You take all the time you need.

Alright.

[sighs] [knocking]

[heels clacking]

Hey, Stacia.

Rex, hi. Ah Kendrick's at work.

Oh I know. I just came by to say hi to you.

- Me? - Yeah, well I just wanted to check on you and the baby.

Can I come in?

Oh [laughs] sorry, sure.

- I hope I'm not keepin' you up.

[collective laughter]

That baby's gettin' big, isn't he?

I know.

[laughs] Wow. Have you all started workin' on the nursery?

It's in process. I keep telling Kendrick we have time,

but he's so eager, he already built the crib.

[collective laughter]

You know what? Um...

he is really excited about becomin' a father.

Was Malik?

What?

I said, was Malik excited about becomin' a father...

once you told him you were carrying his baby?

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

[slam]

Don't stand here

and lie to me.

You're a lawyer, and you know better.

It's not what you think.

No, what I think

is you're getting my son ready to raise somebody else's baby.

That's what I think.

Kendrick loves this baby.

- That's because you're lying to him, Stacia.

And you know what I can't quite figure out?

Is why.

I mean you could be cashin' all those big up-surge checks

if you would just tell the truth.

I don't care about that. I love Kendrick.

Then tell the truth, dammit!

I, I wanted to, but I need to... I need to find the right time.

The clock is tickin', Stacia.

The baby is gonna be here before you know it.

And whether you know it or not,

Kendrick is tryin' to make you an honest woman,

something that's gonna be harder than he thinks.

What?

He's planning to propose to you at your baby shower.

How do you know that?

Because he's my son.

And he told me.

He showed me the ring. You gotta understand, Stacia...

Kendrick is all in.

Let me tell you somethin',

I'm not gonna stand around

and let you make a damn fool out of my son.

- Rex-- - Stop talkin'.

[Soft Thrilling Music]

Now you know what I'd do.

Now either you tell him before the baby shower,

or I will.

Don't play with me.

[Suspenseful Music]

[Frenetic Thrilling Music]

[Dramatic Music builds and stings out]

[Lively Blues Music]

- Ooh, more gifts. - More gifts!

[laughter]

Aw, look at you...so beautiful.

Thank you.

So how do you like your decorations?

Oh my god. It's so beautiful.

You and Christie did an amazing job.

Thank you.

You're welcome.

Yeah, after all you are carryin' my grand baby.

Yes.

You know I was um

a little upset with you when you abruptly joined up-surge and aligned

yourself with Malik.

It's all in the past.

Ah it wasn't that far in the past.

But, I've had a change of heart about up-surge.

You know you make Kendrick very happy, and that's all that matters

to me and Christine.

Kendrick is a wonderful man, and I am so grateful to have him.

[strained inhale]

Oh ah are you okay? Do you need to sit down?

No. No, the baby just kicked.

Oh, so what are you thinking? I mean you know

boy or girl?

I expect we'll find out today.

[laughter]

Either way, I just want a healthy baby.

May I?

Sure.

Aw, it's so beautiful.

[Big Band Music]

I reached out to up-surge chairman, Victor Thompson, about this rumored

board meeting, but he declined to comment.

This is Angela Parks for WQCL TV.

Clear!

Woa hoa, that was great!

You guys see that!?

That was excellent

- [laughing] - Alright, you guys see that? Give it up.

- [clapping] - Give it up. We got a new news lady at WQCL.

Ms. Angela Parks, the new WQCL news lady [laughs].

Hi, Stacia.

Hi.

Look, I know things between us have been strained lately, but

I still consider you a friend, and Malik did too.

I know he'd want me to be here, so I just want you to know I'm

here to support you.

[laughs] Thank you, Tamara.

That means a lot.

You're welcome.

You know I love being a mom.

You know Austin got the best parts of me and Miles.

I'm sure you and Kendrick will see the same things in your baby.

I'm sure.

Speaking of Miles, I'm still doing everything I can to get him cleared.

Have there been any changes in his condition?

Not as far as I know.

He just needs time to heal.

Yeah well thankfully he has Josie there to help with his healing [laughs].

A regular Florence Nightingale.

Do you still believe he's guilty?

Honestly, I don't know what to think?

Ah I do want Miles to get better.

I just want justice for Malik.

He deserves that.

I'm so glad you came, Tamara.

Now if you'll excuse me, I have to say hello to some of my other guests.

[sighs]

[sighs] Kendrick, please call me back.

It's important.

[exhales]

Well...

I'm glad that you could make it.

I came for Stacia.

Well, it's good to see you out, you know being social again.

Malik and I had our issues, but I'm sorry to see that he's gone.

You know my father, Victor,

loved him very much.

We have a board meeting coming up, and Victor's been talking about

getting me more involved with up-surge.

I'm definitely looking forward to working with you now that you've

taken over Malik's shares.

Yeah well I'm sure you working at up-surge

is the last thing Malik would have wanted.

Wow...and I was tryin' to make peace.

- [laughs] Mom, Cynthia is looking for you.

- Excuse me.

I'm surprised you invited me.

What? I know you and Stacia are friends.

I wouldn't let our old problems get in the way of

Kendrick and Stacia having their support.

That's admirable.

Besides, it's history.

Maybe we can leave it in the past.

- I heard about Miles, is he ok-- - Thank you for inviting me.

It's lovely.

Okay.

[Heels clanking]

[laughter]

[Suspenseful Music]

[groaning]

He said no stories about up-surge.

[Angela screams]

Hey, let her go!

[Dramatic Suspenseful Music]

You okay?

What just happened?

That was one of Victor's boys.

He came by the house to tell me to kill the story.

And you didn't give me a head's up?!

You put a target on my back!

I'm gonna take care of you. Don't worry.

Don't worry? Would you have let Paige run that story?

My safety's worth riskin', but not your wife's, right?

- Angela, it's not even like that. - It is like that!

It's cool.

Appreciate it.

Thanks for the save.

[sighs]

Everybody, the father-to-be is here!

- Yay! - Hey. [clapping]

Hey, what's up, baby? You good?

You didn't answer your phone.

I'm sorry, I had to rush over here from work.

Is everything okay?

Kendrick, we have to talk.

- Yeah. Alright. - Let's go inside.

Hold on, there's pop.

[Brooding Music]

Thanks for comin'.

Yeah, um...hold on for just a second.

A can I get everybody's attention please?

Um first of all, I just wanna say that

this is the best day of my life.

Stacia...

[exhales] you've been the biggest blessing in my life.

And I couldn't think of a better woman

to share this special moment with.

I wanna share a lifetime of memories with you

and our child.

Kendrick, please!

[Stacia exhales]

Stacia Cunningham...

will you marry me?

[yelps] [giggles]

Yes, yes I will.

Oh, praise the lord!

Oh! Okay everybody, it is time for the gender reveal

for Mr. Murphy and the soon-to-be new'

Mrs. Murphy.

Thank you, mama.

Okay everybody, all together.

- You ready? Okay. - Yeah.

3...

[collectively] 2...

1.

- [pop] [cheering]

- [cheering] Now I have a grandson!

- Yes! - Congratulations...

that was an amazing reveal.

And I heard that's not the only cork that's been popped.

- Woa. - Felicia...

what are you doing here?

- I would never miss a family celebration.

See the problem with that is nobody here considers you family.

That's probably true, but Malik did.

- What the hell are you talkin' about?

You know, never mind. Just get outta here.

This is Stacia and Kendrick's special day.

Very aware and I'm very eager to celebrate my new nephew.

See because Malik would want to ensure

that a real Thompson was here to celebrate our new addition.

Because that bouncing baby boy that you're carrying

is Malik's son.

Isn't it...Stacia?

[Suspenseful Music builds]

[Music stings out]

[Tense Music]

Felicia, get the hell outta here!

And miss the cake?

You're a damn liar.

No she's not, son.

Whatever.

Baby...

tell her, tell everybody here that this is my son.

Tell her!

I can't.

I'm sorry,

I was gonna tell you.

When?! After I married you, after you had the baby!

I tried to call you.

But you knew from the beginning, didn't you?

All this time...

and you kept this from me!

Kendrick, let's go talk in private, inside.

Hell no!

I'm done witchu!

It's over.

[crying]

- This is so delicious.

[Dramatic Music builds]

[grunts]

[screams]

[crying]

[Tense Instrumental Music]

[ripping] [groaning]

[screaming]

[screaming]

[Dramatic Music builds]

[exhales]

Oh Jabari, I'm glad you're here. You just saved me a phone call.

- I know you are behind Angela gettin' roughed up.

Oh that sounds like something a thug would do.

I'm not the thug in this room.

So what are you, a man?

The best man you know.

[collective laughter]

You're not even a Rex Fisher.

What kind of a man attacks women?

Don't you ever question my character.

Well don't you ever threaten me or any of my people.

Or what?

Or we're gonna have a problem...Victor.

Hm. You just threatened the chairman of this company.

You attacked my business partner.

I submitted a motion to the board for your immediate removal.

Thanks to your up-surge news report,

you're in breach of your contract.

Time to take out the trash.

[Suspenseful Music]

The hell with this company.

Without Malik runnin' it, it won't be the same anyway.

But don't worry,

I'm gonna keep runnin' those stories on up-surge, so you keep listenin'.

And you and that gag order...

can go straight to hell.

[smirks]

[exhales]

How old is she?

Does it matter?

Move it. I gotta get this done.

No. [instrument drops, clangs]

No?

[gun cocks]

Let's go.

[gasps]

I can't do this.

You don't have a choice.

But she's just a child.

Now you wanna be a saint?

Where was your conscience a couple procedures ago?

I don't wanna do this. Please just find

somebody else. Aah!

[stumbles]

[shrieks]

[deep inhale]

[Thrilling Music]

Just shoot me then, you crazy bitch.

Oh I will,

but first I'm gonna shoot her.

No.

No.

Okay.

Okay.

Get to work.

[Suspenseful Music]

[deep inhale]

Okay.

[Dramatic Music stings out]

[car honks]

Thank you all for being prompt for this meeting.

Our yearly gala is coming up,

and we have secured a gorgeous estate for the event.

I look forward to seeing all of you there.

Now, I would like to introduce someone who is not only

very special to me, but she is a force to be reckoned with,

just like her father.

[laughter]

Her resume is impressive, especially her dynamic

work as mayor of Cypress. However,

I plan to use her exceptional skills

right here at up-surge.

Felicia...

you know better than to interrupt a board meeting.

Happy to see you too, Daddy.

[Tense Instrumental Music]

Please leave, now.

According to the company's bylaws, I'm exactly

where I'm supposed to be.

Excuse me?

- Malik should've been fired

for having an inappropriate relationship with a subordinate.

Your brother is dead.

How dare you bring this up.

Well, he broke the company's morality clause, and he

was in no position to fire me.

Thus, the motion to terminate me

was invalid.

I'm here to reclaim my seat on the board.

What?

- Yes, reclaiming our time.

What is this lowlife doing here?

You see a

your beautiful daughter here, re-gifted me half her shares of the company.

So as per your bylaws,

I am now a new board member.

Why would you sign over your shares

to this vermin?

Well Daddy, this vermin

is my new husband.

[Felicia snickers]

[Rex laughs]

I'll just make myself right at home.

Get your feet off my table.

[laughter]

Our table.

I'll consider my seat on the board as a

wedding gift.

Looks like I have a seat at the table after all, Dad.

[laughter]
