- Stunning! Absolutely amazing!

How'd that feel?

- (sighs) pretty good.

Yeah, I just need to figure out those last few moments.

- I think you're ready.

- Well, I'm definitely feeling a little past my prime.

- You don't know what past your prime is

Until you can share medication notes at the geriatric home.

Speaking of which, I need my pills.

- Come on kat, you've had heart surgery,

And within one year you're already back on your feet

And had the idea for this place?

- Come on.

- Since when do you let a little bottle of pills

Get the best of you?

- Our dance studio is gonna be huge.

We're gonna pack this place opening day

And every day after that; private lessons,

Group classes, you name it.

This place is gonna pop.

- And virtual dance classes.

- Why not?

- And couples classes for the elderly,

Then free classes for the at-risk youth center.

- Okay, you softie, anything from my very own mother teresa.

- Well, one of us has to have a bleeding heart.

- Oh, well, I will settle for a heart that keeps pumping.

- You really think people are gonna like this place?

- I do, I really do.

People are masters at hiding who they really are.

They need a physical outlet for their emotions,

A positive way to express it.

We have created a place here

Where people can feel vulnerable.

- I truly cannot put into words how much you mean to me kat.

I feel so blessed that you came into our lives

After madison and I lost jonathan.

- Stop, you're gonna make me cry

And my makeup is fire today.

- It really is.

- So lock it up, ms. Everstone.

You don't give yourself enough credit for how strong you are

After everything you've been through.

- Jon would be so proud of this place.

My favorite thing in the world was to dance with jon.

- I can't believe you're coming up on three years.

(jackie sighs)

When is the last time you heard anything from the police?

- At least six months ago.

They told me only one in 10 hit and runs ever gets solved.

- (gasps) I can't imagine how much you're hurting.

I hope you know I'm always here for you.

- Thank you.

- You know the drill.

The show must go on!

(both laugh)

I have a new toy.

- Oh! Let me see.

(upbeat music)

Ah! How did you do that?

- (laughs) technology.

- Oh wow.

Oh my gosh, it's so late, I gotta get home.

Dinner and a movie night!

- Have fun.

(upbeat music)

(car engine revs)

(door creaks)

(ominous music)

(soft music)

(ominous music)

- (gasps) oh, kevin, you startled me.

- I'm sorry, I didn't mean to scare you.

- What is with the gloves?

- Oh, I have some stuff I need to unload out of my car.

Got to protect the moneymakers.

Nobody wants to be examined by a plastic surgeon

With sandpaper for hands.

(jackie chuckles)

You see how smooth they are?

Come on.

(both laughing)

(soft music)

Oh, hey listen, I need your keys 'cause I gotta put my stuff

In your garage later tonight.

- Wait, are you moving your stuff in tonight?

- Yeah, we talked about that.

This way I can spend more time here with you and madison.

All the back and forth and my work

And you guys being in the house alone all the time.

I thought that's what you wanted.

I thought that's what we all wanted.

- It is, it's just-

- Look, you can come spend more time in my place too.

It's just, I mean, since I sold the house,

The three of us in my condo is gonna be tight.

- Yeah, it's not...

Kevin, it's just that that's a big step.

- A big step in the right direction.

(jackie sighs)

Hey, if this is too much, too fast, just let me know, okay?

We have to all be okay with this, all of us.

- I want you to be here.

Madison wants you to be here.

- All I care about is your happiness.

- You're moving your stuff in, that's so sweet.

- I thought I would.

- That's sweet.

- Is it? - Yeah.

- Okay, all right, you sure?

- Yeah. - Okay.

I'll tell you what?

Madison is gonna be here in a minute.

I'll start dinner, come down when you're ready.

- Wow! - Yeah.

- Okay. - I'm gonna cook for you,

And you're gonna love it too.

You're gonna love it, okay? - Okay. (laughs)

- Come down.

(soft music)

- [kevin] dinner's ready!

(soft music)

Hey.

- Hey, there.

Okay, thank you, this looks amazing.

- Ah, you're welcome.

- We love having you here.

- Well, I love being here.

I'm not gonna let the two of you out of my sight. (laughs)

What's in there?

- No, it's jon's, just gone through some of his old stuff.

Hey madison, come on.

No phones at the table.

- What?

It's not like I'm bothering anyone.

- Excuse me, we speak respectfully to one another.

- Can you imagine if we had this kind of entertainment

At our fingertips?

- No, but I can't imagine what it would be like

To talk back to my parents at the dinner table.

- Sure mom.

- Look, we've all had a very long day,

So let's start with a little of this.

All right, dig in everybody, come on.

Here, grab a taco shell here and some rice.

You like rice?

- [madison] no. - No, no rice, okay.

Chicken?

(soft music)

This is really a beautiful house.

- [jackie] what was that?

- This is a beautiful house. (chuckles)

Pays to be an everstone, huh?

- (chuckles) yeah, jonathan left us a lot

When he passed away.

(sighs) a little too much in fact.

When I met jon in college, I had no idea who his family was.

I just don't want madison to grow up thinking

Money is some infinite resource.

I want her to be resourceful and driven.

I've decided to set aside a small amount of money

To help me get the dance studio off the ground,

But everything else would be placed

In an irrevocable trust for madison.

- All of it?

- Well, of course there'll be money for living expenses,

Education, but the remainder of her inheritance

Won't be released until she finishes graduate school.

Same way my dad gave me the old family sedan

When I earned my degree.

Just give her something to work towards.

I think the attorney's filing this week,

So thank you again for recommending jerry.

- Of course, I think it's all excellent news.

- Yeah, the dance studio is the perfect opportunity

For me to just get back to the values my dad taught me.

And if it fails, I might have to sell the house,

But at least I know I've tried.

- Well, if you end up homeless, I actually know

This is really nice for a plastic surgeon,

Who owns his own practice in the building

In which he reside, so if you ever need a place to stay,

I'm sure something could be figured out.

- Wow, can I get his number?

- I love you jackie.

- I love you too.

(soft music)

(jerry humming)

♪ after you've gone, after you've gone away ♪

- I love those classics.

- So there's nothing that can be done, jerry?

Nothing that we can do at all?

- How many times are we gonna go over this?

I mean, irrevocable trust is exactly that, it's irrevocable.

Nothing can be done.

Madison is gonna receive a stipend while she's in college,

Once she graduates, she'll get the best of the $150 million.

It's that simple.

- And then when is jackie planning on transferring

These funds into that trust for madison?

- I'll go to county tomorrow to register it.

And once the funds are transferred into

That's it.

Now, if something should happen to her,

Then I've been instructed by jackie to distribute it

Amongst several charities.

One other thing, kevin, just say there was no trust, okay?

And don't take this personal at all.

But I have a fiduciary responsibility

To protect jackie's interests.

So there's a prenuptial agreement,

Which I'd like you to sign.

(soft music)

- Yeah.

- Focus on your business, kevin, right?

Get past the malpractices.

Forget about this inheritance crap, okay?

You'll have a great life.

- Sure, just a question if I may.

- Sure.

- Does anyone else know about this prenuptial agreement?

- No, it's very discreet.

You don't have to be worried about being embarrassed, okay?

I understand that as a male.

- I appreciate it, dad.

- Sure.

- And one last question if I may.

If something like you said happens to madison,

And jackie does remarry, her new husband

Then would have legal claim to this money, right?

- (chuckles) that's a...

It's a very incriminating question, kevin.

- (chuckles) yes it is.

(ominous music)

(clears throat) I just put a little potassium

In there, jerry.

And it's so funny about the potassium

Because in trace amounts, it's actually harmless to the body

But the dose that was in that syringe is enough to send

Somebody to the instant cardiac arrest.

And here's a really cool part, potassium gets absorbed

Back by the cells so it's untraceable in autopsy.

Ah, jerry, didn't have to go down this way.

♪ after you've gone away ♪

- [kat] jackie!

(soft music)

What lettering do you like for the sign?

How about this one?

- Yeah, I like it.

- Jackie everstone, papyrus?

- Ah, I'm sorry kat, I have a lot on my mind.

- Have you transferred the funds to our joint account?

- Yes, that I did do.

They will hit by the end of the week and they should carry

Us throughout our lease whether or not we make a dime.

- Oh, come on, jack, have some faith.

- Well, faith only gets you so far, kat.

We also need to have a plan,

Which is why I have named you my trustee.

If anything were to happen to me, you and madison

Will have your living expenses taken care of

Throughout her college years.

- Okay, well, I am not hearing any of that.

You are gonna be around until I say so, do you hear me?

- Okay, you're the boss lady.

- Now let's get back to business

'cause we need to let people know that we're open.

- Oh my gosh, my friend maya from college.

Or more like frenemies,

But she is a blogger with a huge following.

She's asked me multiple times what she could do

Since jonathan passed,

So why don't I have her write a story about our opening?

- Maya wilder?

- Yeah, that's her.

I always had this feeling she's a little jealous

Of my relationship with jon,

But time heals all wounds, right?

Kat, I thought you'd be excited about this.

- I am, this is...

I mean, we have a lot to do around here.

Are we ready for that?

Do we really want a blogger snooping around?

- Well, someone once told me

There is no such thing as bad publicity.

- Okay, you got me there.

(both laugh)

- The studio deserves this, kat.

You deserve this.

- You deserve it all and more.

- I'm gonna call maya on my way home

And then hit kevin and madison with the good news.

- Go have fun.

- You're the freaking best, kat.

- I know.

(both laugh)

(soft music)

(birds chirping)

(door creaks)

- Mom, are you home?

"can't wait to see you kev."

(ominous music)

- What are you looking at?

- Oh, kevin, I was just-

- When did you get home?

- I literally just walked in the door.

- Maybe your mom was right.

Maybe you do need to learn a little respect.

- What? (door creaks)

- Oh, hey. - Hey.

- What are you guys up?

- Yeah, madison, what were you doing?

- Just going upstairs.

- I have exciting news.

- You do?

- Yeah, kat and I are gonna be featured

On my maya wilder's blog.

- It's amazing news mom.

- What?

What's wrong with her?

- Teenagers, don't worry about it.

That is big news.

- Yeah.

- You must be excited.

- Yeah.

- When did this all go down?

(soft music)

(door knock)

- Can I come in?

Are you doing okay?

- Yeah.

- Are you sure?

You know you can tell me anything, right?

- I know.

Well, actually I saw something really weird

On kevin's computer.

It looked like he had a date with some woman tomorrow.

It said noon, but I don't remember the details.

It just seemed really off.

I didn't wanna tell you 'cause you seem so happy.

- Well, thank you for telling me.

I love you, sweet pea.

- I love you too.

- It's you and I.

- Till the end of time.

(ominous music)

- (gasps) "I can't wait to see you kev."

(door closes)

(ominous music)

Kevin!

- What are you doing?

- I just couldn't sleep.

Wanted to get some notes for maya interview.

- And you're using my laptop?

- Yeah, just wanted to read maya's blog and try to find

A connection between the dance studio and her readers.

- Can't it wait until morning?

Come on, come back to bed with me now.

You left me up there by myself.

- I'm sorry.

- I'm so alone, you know I'm afraid of the dark.

(ominous music)

- You're leaving so early?

- Yeah, go back to sleep.

Busy day, I have a lot to do.

I'll see you tonight.

(upbeat music)

(car engine revs)

(phone buzzes)

- [jackie] hey, it's me.

- What's going on? Where is he?

- I don't know, he parked and walked into some building,

I can't follow any further.

He's been in there 30 minutes.

- Don't jump to conclusions, it's 12:30 in the afternoon.

- All right, well, thank you.

(jackie gasps)

- [kat] what? What is it?

- Oh my gosh, kevin just walked back to his car

With some woman.

- Well, thank you. - I appreciate it,

All right see you.

- Kat, they look very acquainted.

(phone camera shutters)

- Bye. - Bye.

- Okay, wait a minute, start over.

Bakery, flower shop,

And then to the office to meet this woman?

- Hmm. - Did he give her the flowers?

- Yeah, well, I think so.

I don't know.

- What does that even mean?

- Well, I lost him for a few blocks,

It was all very stressful.

Kevin drives like a lunatic

And I got caught up at some red light.

Then next I saw his car parked on the street

So I didn't technically get to see him go in,

But what else would he be doing with those flowers?

- I mean, it doesn't sound good, jackie,

But we have to have all the details

Before we jump to any conclusions.

Let me see the picture again.

I know this woman, she's an estate attorney.

She helped me with probate

After my mother passed away, right.

There wasn't really much to help with

Since she didn't leave me anything other

But she knows her stuff

And she is happily married to dillon cutter.

- Are you sure?

- Believe me, that woman is a force.

There is no way she's cheating on her husband.

- I don't know, it doesn't make any sense.

- I really don't think her and kevin are messing around.

- I'm gonna be sick.

- Just breathe.

I seriously don't think kevin is having an affair.

I'd bet my life on it.

- I just...

I can't.

- I know, just go home, take a shower, talk to kevin.

- (sighs) thank you, kat.

(kat chuckles)

I'll let you know what he says.

(soft music)

(car engine revs)

(ominous music)

Madison? Kevin?

Hello, anyone home?

(soft music) (wind whooshing)

(soft music)

(jackie chuckles)

What is all this? Where's madison?

- Madison is at a friend's house

So we have the place to ourselves.

So look, I know that you and jon would dance all the time.

I'm not even gonna pretend to try to fill those shoes.

But if you lead-

(soft music)

I'll follow.

(jackie laughs)

(soft music)

- Wow!

- Watch this.

There, did you see that?

- (laughs) wow.

- I know these last couple of years have been so hard

For you, jackie.

But I want you to know that I'm gonna be here

For you, forever, okay?

So.

(jackie chuckles)

Jackie, will you marry me?

(soft music)

- (laughing) if madison says it's okay.

- Yeah, of course. - Okay?

- But if she says it's okay, then?

- Then yes, I'll you marry you.

- Then yes?

You'll marry me? - Yeah.

- Okay, all right (indistinct).

(both laughing)

(jackie laughs)

- Oh my gosh!

- Yeah, so it turns out all the stuff he did that day

Was for me.

That attorney was just a friend of his,

He was getting legal advice.

She set us up with this self-uniting

So we don't even have to go to the courthouse

To make it legal.

Which is great 'cause kevin knows

I do not want another wedding.

- Why not?

- Just not a kid anymore.

Definitely don't need another blender.

- So is it official?

- It just needs my signature and a witness.

- Oh my gosh! What did madison say?

- Well, we haven't told her yet.

I wanna have a conversation where she feels

Included in the decision.

- I'm sure she'll be thrilled.

I know I am.

- Yeah, I think so too.

- See jack, I knew that kevin was your prince charming.

How many people get one great love in their lifetime,

Let alone two?

(soft music)

The pain is never gonna go away,

But you have to live your life.

Jonathan would want you to find love again.

Jackie, you have to move on.

He's not coming back.

Kevin will wait on you forever.

- Yeah, you're right.

- And think about kevin,

And he's been pretty great to you and madison.

Impatient.

- (chuckles) yes, kevin has been incredible.

Just, (sighs) I would feel much better

If there was some closure.

- What would make you ready to move on?

Have you gone through the rest of jon's boxes?

You haven't gone through his stuff?

(jackie chuckles)

The faster you rip it off, the less it hurts.

You'll feel so much better afterwards.

You just keep a few sentimental things

And the rest just donate or recycle.

- Yeah, yes.

(sighs) okay, that's the plan.

- That's my girl.

Do it tomorrow before the interview

Because you know the drill.

- The show- - [both] must go on.

(both laugh)

(soft music)

- So, when are we gonna tell madison?

- Soon, I just want to have a one-on-one conversation

With her and once I gauge the situation,

We'll tell her together.

- I wanna be there when you tell her, okay?

- It's all right, a few I'll get there, bye.

- Whoa, where are you going?

- I'm going with ann to a study group.

- Who's driving?

- Anne's mom.

- She's going for a study group with ann,

It's cool than hanging out here with us.

- Be back by 9:00.

- Okay, I will, love you mom.

Bye kevin.

- Bye.

- She didn't even ask me.

- She asked me, I said it was okay, sorry.

(soft music)

(car engine revs)

- Does ann's mom drive a four by four?

- Jackie, will you relax?

She's a smart girl.

It's important for her to hang out with her friends.

Let's watch the movie.

(dramatic music)

(laser blazing)

(soft music)

(door opens)

- 9:45, really, madison?

- Sorry mom.

- No sorries, I was worried about you.

- I'm 45 minutes late, okay?

We had a lot to cover.

- No excuses, you could have called or text me.

- She did, she did.

She texted me.

I dozed off so I didn't get it.

It was on silent, but she did.

- Sorry mom.

I'm really tired, I'm gonna go to bed.

- Good night. - Good night.

- Good night.

I gotta go to work in the morning.

- On a Saturday?

- I gotta do what I gotta do.

Come to bed, babe.

(soft music)

(upbeat music)

Morning esmeralda, is my 9:00 am here?

- You don't have a 9:00 am and your 10:00 am canceled.

- Oh, okay.

- Oh, dr. Richardson.

- Yeah.

- I don't wanna be a bother

But I keep trying to talk to you about your mortgage

For the office building, it's three months past.

- Yes, I know, thanks.

- Also I called the insurance company

And they aren't willing to offer you any malpractice

Coverage with the pending lawsuits against you.

- Thanks for the update.

- And I still haven't received my paycheck.

- Esmeralda, I am handling that right now

And you will be paid next week.

I promise you.

- Okay. You have my word.

- Right.

- Would you like a little filler?

- Oh (chuckles).

- I mean not that you need it,

But they'll take 10 years off your life.

- Really? - Absolutely.

- You think so?

- I do, a little here, a little there.

What do you say? Yeah?

- Sure. - You can do it right now

Because I have an opening.

- Okay.

- On me, free charge.

(both laugh)

Come on.

You can be my next victim.

(both laugh)

(door shuts)

- Madison, come for your breakfast!

- Morning mom.

- Oh, good morning sleepy head.

It's already 10:30.

- It's so early.

- Here you go.

So today I need to finish going through the remainder

Of your father's stuff.

I was hoping maybe you would join me while I'm digging

Through those old memories.

- Okay, I'd love to help you.

- Thank you.

- Mom, I'm really sorry I was late last night.

(soft music)

- I appreciate that.

I didn't know that ann's mom drove such a big truck.

- Anne's mom didn't drive last night.

Matthew's older brother did.

And it wasn't just ann, it was ann, sarah, dean and matthew.

But we did go to anne's house and we did study.

You can call her parents.

- I'm sure I overreacted myself.

I'm just glad that you texted kevin.

- Promise me you won't get mad at kevin, okay?

- Okay.

- I never actually texted kevin last night.

He was just trying to be cool and cover for me.

He tries really hard to get me to like him.

Maybe too hard, I don't know.

I just hate feeling like I'm keeping something from you.

- Thank you, I appreciate that.

Finish your breakfast and then come help me, okay?

Okay.

(upbeat music)

- I miss dad.

- I miss him too.

We're gonna be all right.

As long as we stick together,

There's nothing we can't handle.

'cause I don't know if you've heard, but it's you and I-

- [both] till the end time.

(jackie laughs)

- I love you mom.

- I love you too kiddo.

Oh, I got to get to the dance studio.

Kat and I have the interview today

And I desperately need to shower.

Do you wanna take that box up to your room?

- Oh, yeah.

(soft music)

(glass shutters)

- Darn it.

(jackie gasps)

(soft music)

(birds chirping)

- Knock knock.

- Maya! So good to see you!

Hello.

Thank you so much for agreeing to do this.

- Of course, I am glad you finally decided

To take me up on my offer.

(both laugh)

- We'll head over here, okay?

- Wow, this place looks amazing.

- Thank you.

- So how have you been?

- Busy.

Ever since things got rolling with the dance studio,

I haven't had much time for anything else.

Outside of family life it's really just been kat and I

Trying to get this place off the ground.

- It's good.

- Speak of the devil, here she's.

Maya, I'd like to introduce you to kat connolly.

- Hi! - Hi!

- Kat has been my savior since jonathan passed.

And she's the one who introduced me to my fia...

My kevin.

(soft music)

- It sounded like you were going to say fiancee?

- He is your fiance, isn't he?

- Kat!

- That explains a lot.

Okay, come on, give me a name, come on.

What kind of friend would I be

If I didn't do some internet sleuthing on your behalf?

- Well, his name is kevin richardson.

He is a plastic surgeon.

- Ooh, a doctor?

- I thought we gonna talk about the dance studio.

- Yes, yeah, you're right.

I'm so sorry for getting us off topic.

We can catch up later.

- Right, so what inspired you guys to open up the place?

- Ah, well, jonathan and I always loved to dance.

He came to every one of my performances

And really encouraged my career as a dancer.

So when jonathan passed, I was pretty lost.

Then kat came along and encouraged me to channel

All that energy into a dance studio for the next generation.

- Look, forgive me for asking,

But did they ever find out who did it?

- Did what?

- Killed jonathan?

- No.

- Would you mind if I just talked to some sources I have.

I mean, maybe I can come up with some leads.

- Yeah, I'd appreciate that.

- Okay.

- This is a hard topic for jackie.

I thought we were supposed to talk about the dance studio,

Not jackie's painful past.

- The dance studio, right.

(clears throat) sorry, let's get back on task, shall we?

Why do you guys see this place convenient for (indistinct)?

- [kevin] so how did the interview go?

- It was fine.

- That's it?

- (chuckles) she just asked me some questions

About the dance studio.

- Anything else?

- Well, you will just have to read the article.

- What's wrong?

- Yeah mom, you seemed really excited about it before,

Now you're barely saying anything.

- I'm just very tired, it's been a long day.

- You sure you okay?

- Yeah baby, I'm sure.

(soft music)

- Well, let's end the night on a high note.

Shall we share the news with madison?

- What news? - Kevin!

- Your mother and I have decided to get married.

- Mom?

- Yes, we were discussing it,

But it's a very big life decision.

- Great, I'm glad to being honest like we talked about

And made me a part of your big life decision.

I guess it's you and I and kevin until the end time.

- Madison!

- I thought you would be excited.

- But I am kevin, my sincerest congratulations

To the happy couple.

Hope you two are really happy together.

(soft music)

- Teenagers.

- What is wrong with you?

- Hey, don't walk away from me.

- My daughter is upset and needs her mother,

So you can sit there and wait

Or you can get out of my house.

And don't you ever speak to me like that again.

(soft music)

- Hey.

- Hey.

- What are you doing?

- I found some old memory cards in dad's stuff.

I was just importing some pictures.

(soft music)

- (sighs) how did you get that on your computer?

- I have a universal card reader,

I can download pretty much anything with it.

- You truly are amazing.

- Is it true?

- Kevin did ask me to marry him.

- So it is true?

- But I wanted to have a conversation

With you before I said yes.

- (sighs) something just feels strange.

I can't quite figure it out.

- Are you worried that he might replace your father

Because you shouldn't be.

- No, that's not it.

I mean, maybe a little bit, but there's something else.

- No one will ever replace your dad, ever.

- You really didn't say yes?

- Well, I said yes, but it was conditional.

I want your blessing.

Hey, if you're not 100% on board with this,

There is no way I'm marrying kevin

Or anyone for that matter.

It's you and I, until the end of time.

- You really don't feel anything strange?

- I think that I was feeling the way you're feeling,

But I talked to kat and she centered me.

Just a really wonderful friend.

- Okay, you guys can get married.

(jackie laughs)

But you have to get a dog.

- What?

- He can be a rescue, but he's gotta be cute.

- (laughs) wow, you really are your father's daughter.

- (chuckles) that's the deal.

- Okay.

I specifically told you I wanted to have a conversation

With her, just her and I.

It's not fair that you blindsided her like that.

- (scoffs) madison is a big girl, she can handle it.

And you know what?

Having me officially in her life would be good for her,

Even you said that.

- (chuckles) okay, what about the other night

When madison came home late?

You said that she texted you but she didn't, did she?

- Madison told you that?

- You think scoring points with a teenager

Supersedes her safety?

- You're right, I had a little too much to drink

And it was a real lack of judgment there.

But madison loves me.

- I know that kevin.

I know she loves you, that doesn't mean that

She shouldn't have a say in this decision.

Madison comes first always, do you understand?

Look, she's scared that if we move on too fast,

The memory of her father will fade away,

That jon will be lost forever.

- Is that her fear or yours?

(jackie scoffs)

I didn't mean that.

I didn't mean that.

I mean, I'm just feeling a little rejected here.

I'm sorry, okay?

(soft music)

What's that?

- What? The photo?

I found it today.

It's jon and his brother.

Who I am embarrassed to say, I don't even know his name.

He had a falling out with the family and jon was trying

To reconnect with him and he...

Well...

Kevin, are you okay?

- Yeah, I'm fine.

- Just wondering what happened to the rest of it?

- Huh?

- The rest of the picture, it looks like it's been torn off.

- Listen, I should have given you and madison

More time to process.

I was dumb and it won't happen again.

Do you think you can forgive me?

Can you?

- Oh, yes, you are forgiven.

Just please don't let it happen again.

- Yes ma'am.

- (laughs) so madison and I spoke...

- Oh, and...

- And she gave me her blessing.

- She did? - Yeah.

- So it's official. - It's official.

- We're getting married. - We're getting married.

- We're getting married? - We're getting married.

(kevin laughs)

And we're getting a dog.

- Wait, what?

(jackie laughs)

What kind of dog?

(soft music)

(birds chirping)

- Bye babe.

- You're up early.

- It is a very big day.

Maya's post about the dance studio drops today,

I'm gonna go get kat so we can read it together

And then finish some details for the studio.

But, bye.

- Have a good day.

- You too.

- If you could rush that delivery to get here

By the end of the day on Monday, that would be great.

Yes, 5:00.

Fantastic, thank you, bye.

- Big day.

- Huge day.

Are you ready for this?

- Yeah. - Okay.

"kat and jackie are survivors.

Their business venture is exactly what the

But with every positive there's a negative,

And with success, at least for an everstone,

Tragedies seem soon to follow.

Wealth couldn't isolate the everstone family from adultery,

Mysterious deaths with suspicious circumstances,

And maybe even a bastard child.

You'd be a fool to rule out foul play and foul play

Could mean murder with a capital m."

- "so who will be the next to succumb

To the everstone family curse."

What is this?

This is supposed to be a story about our dance studio

Not some gossip mongering, tabloid garbage.

- I am so sorry, jackie.

- This makes it sound like I'm plagued

With some curse or something.

Who is gonna wanna to come here?

Why would maya betray me like that?

- Maya wilder will regret this.

(soft music)

(door opens and closes)

- [kevin] welcome home.

- Hey.

- So I read the article.

- You did?

- I was about to inject botox in one of my patient's faces

When they, out of nowhere, asked me about the unusual

Circumstances surrounding my fiance's first husband.

And then proceeded to flip their phone around,

And who did I see?

Pictures of me as a footnote in an article that was supposed

To be about your dance studio.

- Kevin, I'm so sorry.

- The curse of the everstone family, rumors of an affair,

A coverup, a bastard child and murder.

Jackie, is that for real?

- No.

- Why did you tell her all that then?

- I didn't.

Maya asked if she could do some digging into jon's death,

In no way did I divulge any personal information.

- You asked her to do some digging into what is

The most painful thing you've ever gone through.

And in the process you destroyed my privacy.

- Kevin, no.

No, oh, well, yeah, but it wasn't in that context.

- What am I supposed to tell my patients?

- I didn't even know half of the stuff in that article.

I can't believe you think that I would betray your trust.

- I'm sorry.

Look, we're gonna get through this the way that we get

Through everything else that comes at us,

And do it together.

- Yeah. - Yeah.

Okay?

(phone buzzes)

- (sighs) maya, you have got a lot of nerve.

- Jackie, I had every intention to write

About your new business.

I did, it's just the journalist in me just took over.

I started researching jonathan's death.

I can't get it out of my head.

This was such an incredible opportunity.

I thought maybe shining a light on it might help.

I didn't think about the collateral damage.

- Well, I appreciate your accountability.

- I know I don't deserve your forgiveness

But I'm gonna make it up to you.

I'm gonna publish a follow-up piece and it's gonna focus

Only on your new dance studio.

And I'm gonna get some of my influencer friends

To post about it as well.

(soft music)

- I would really appreciate that.

I know kat would be grateful as well.

- Listen, there's more.

(soft music)

While I was doing my research, I found that one

Of your in-laws did have an affair.

I called the county to pull the records.

I searched all the birth certificates,

But someone went through a lot of trouble to cover it up.

I think there might be a third everstone child.

- A third everstone child? How do you know this?

- I know you have a lot of questions that maybe jon's,

A strange brother william, might have some of the answers.

Do you know william?

- No, I never met him.

- Yeah, well, he didn't really seem like he wanted to talk.

Hopefully you'll have better luck.

Look, I'll text you his business address, okay?

- Okay, thank you maya.

- Bye. (sighs)

(phone chimes)

(soft music)

(ominous music)

(birds chirping)

(dog barks)

(machine whirring)

Hey!

- We're closed.

Can I help you with something?

- William, it's nice to finally meet you.

You are william, right?

- Maybe, who's asking?

- I'm jacqueline.

- Jacqueline?

- Jacqueline everstone.

(soft music)

- You're the second lady to ask for will this week.

I'm gonna tell you the same thing I told her, okay?

He's on extended leave, I don't know where he is.

- I know it's you.

- Miss, look, I think you're confused.

- You look just like him.

It's in the eyes.

- Listen lady-

- Jon was my husband, he was the love of my life

And he's gone.

Just trying to get some closure.

- I don't know anything about that, okay?

- How about I give you my number?

If think of anything you can call me.

What about money?

I can get you money.

- You think I want money? You know what?

If you know what's good for you,

You get out of here right now.

- Please help me.

- Listen, we're closed.

You're trespassing, I need you to go.

I'm sorry, all right?

You got the wrong guy.

(gate whirring)

(upbeat music)

(ominous music)

- You just have been injected with succinylcholine.

And you're not paralyzed, but you're gonna remain conscious.

I'm gonna ask you a series of questions.

Blink twice if you understand me, okay?

Did you reach out to william kimble?

Did william talk to you?

Thank you.

Ms. Jackie know about william?

(ominous music)

So you know, if I got your full cooperation,

The coroner wouldn't have to rule this a seizure

Leading to an accidental drowning.

(ominous music)

(upbeat music)

(soft piano music)

(ominous music)

(lady sighs)

(soft music)

(wind whooshing)

(door creaks)

(ominous music)

(soft music)

(branches rattle)

(ominous music)

Hey! (jackie gasps)

What are you doing out here?

- Nothing, I thought I heard something.

- There's nothing out here.

- Where were you?

- I was in the bathroom.

Come back to bed, come on.

(branches rattle)

(ominous music)

(birds chirping)

(car beeping)

(soft music)

(phone rings)

- [kat] you've reached kat, you know what to do.

- Kat, listen, things are snowballing

And it's a little too much to explain right now,

But I'm headed to meet someone who might have information

On jons' death.

Kevin doesn't know what I'm doing and he can't know.

I was told to come alone, so please,

If anything happens to me, look after madison.

I'm headed to the fire road below where jon was found.

I'll call you when I can.

(soft music)

(branches rattle)

Hey, I can see you.

Kevin?

- Hey, what's up jackie?

- Are you following me?

- Yeah.

- Why are you following me?

- So, I was worried about you.

Look I know you're under a lot of pressure

With the dance studio and the whole new marriage,

And I just want you to know that I'm not here

Trying to replace jon.

I can never do that.

I'm just here trying to be the best husband that I can be

And I'm always gonna do that.

I promise you.

We're in this together, okay?

Are you good?

(soft music)

Okay, come with me.

(branches rattle)

(ominous music)

All right, so I'm in, let's see.

Oh, exploding, but guess what?

I got this one.

So I'm good, which means that's going there

And this is going there to you.

Oh, you're out, you're up.

- Are you kidding me?

- Why? What'd you get?

- Two in a row.

- You got...

Oh! You got anything?

- No.

- I win, I win!

I always win.

- No way. Re- no.?

- No. - I'm tired.

- Come on. - [both] no.

(phone buzzing)

(soft music)

- Who is that?

- I dunno.

- Answer it.

- I don't know who it is.

- It could be somebody important.

Maybe they'll leave a message.

(phone buzzing)

Seems somebody really needs to get ahold of you.

Hello? - Kevin!

- Hello?

Must have lost him.

Rematch.

- One more.

- You, you, you, you.

(soft music)

(phone buzzing)

- Hello?

Hello, is someone there?

I think I know who this is and you can trust me.

Please just hear me out.

Jonathan was a good man, he was a sweet man.

Now I'm sure that you have been mistreated

By a lot of people, but I knew jon

And I bet he wasn't one of them.

Jon died three years ago.

My daughter and I still have no answers.

We live with this uncertainty every day.

So please, if you have any information

On jon's death helped me.

- [william] meet me outside.

- When?

- Right now.

Exit at the back.

(soft music)

(car engine revs)

Get in.

(car engine revs)

(soft music)

Thanks.

- So what's with the block calls and the secret notes?

- For safety.

- I can take care of myself.

- I didn't say it was for your safety.

- You know what?

I think this was mistake, I'm just gonna head to the studio.

- Wait, please sit down.

There's something I have to tell you.

Okay, jon reached out to me a few months before his death.

He never did anything wrong to me, he was young when I left.

So he was always calling,

Leaving voicemails, writing letters.

But this one letter in particular stood

I want you to read it.

Here.

- [jon's voice over] brother I hope this finds you well.

I wanted to tell you I understand and respect you

And your choice to leave the family business behind.

But I wish we were a bigger part of each others lives now.

My wife and daughter madison are well.

I hope one day soon you'll accept our invitation to dinner.

William, you know who has resurfaced.

He's been showing up uninvited and needs money again

And I fear I'm enabling his irrational behavior.

We got into an argument and he was angrier

Than I've seen him.

You know he's a dangerous temper, so keep an eye out.

I hope to talk soon.

Love, jon.

- I wish I would've called him back.

- Wait, I don't understand.

Who is jon talking about? Who resurfaced?

- You don't know?

- Know what? Know what?

- Kevin is our brother.

Well, I mean, he's our half-brother.

- What?

- Look.

I'm sorry, I didn't know he found you

Until I saw the two of you on the fire road.

My father edward met my mother elisa in a small town

When everstone industries was out there building a mill.

They started a relationship.

So when the mill was finished,

My father wanted to go back to new york.

My mother's one stipulation was her two-year-old son,

Had to go with them.

My father said, "yes, sure."

He went back to new york, nine months later, I was born.

- So your mother elisa was married before?

- We don't know.

She took that secret to her grave.

My father knew, but he never told anybody.

He treated kevin like one of his own.

I mean, he really took good care of him,

But he just kept getting into trouble.

Started out small.

He was just bullying and cheating in school.

Then it got much, much worse.

My father had to send him to military school.

That worked for a little bit too,

Until he got expelled from there for stalking a professor

For giving him a bad grade.

Kevin basically drove my father to drink.

He was so worried that kevin was gonna tarnish

The good family name,

That he cut him out of the family will entirely.

Paid for his medical school, but sent him away and told him

If he ever came back, he would pull that scholarship

From him too.

From that point forward, his relationship

With both my parents was spotty at best.

- And what about you?

- Me?

I left in my own (indistinct).

I know it sounds like a sweet deal to inherit

The family business, but it comes with a dark side.

- So what did you do?

- On my 18th birthday, I packed a bag

And got on the first bus out of town.

One thing I have to remember my family now

Is my father's wedding ring and my mother's pet.

- Any regrets?

- Just that I wish I would have patched things up with jon.

Listen, kevin is not what he seems.

That man is a liar and he's dangerous.

I think he killed my father.

- (laughs) I really appreciate you telling me all this,

But this is a lot to process.

- Wait, please.

Please don't go.

Just give me another minute.

This is the most important part, please.

(soft music)

Three years ago, kevin brought me his fancy electric car

To get fixed, said he didn't wanna run through insurance,

It would run the bill up.

So I said, "sure."

He told me he got into an accident that he'd hit a deer.

What kevin didn't know is that all those cars

Have a camera system built into it for autonomous driving.

Now, I don't think he paid for the option

But it's installed in the car regardless.

Look, I'm not a computer guy,

But I took the memory card out of the car.

It might've recorded the accident, take it.

I don't know, but I think whatever happened

I think kevin hit jon.

I mean the timing is just it's too coincidental.

And if he did hit jon, there was no accident.

(soft music)

(jackie sighs)

(dramatic music)

- Hey sweetie, it's mom, I need you to call me, okay?

It's really important.

Hi, jerry shapiro, please, it's jacqueline riverstone.

- [lady] I am so sorry to inform you

Shapiro passed away unexpectedly.

(ominous music)

- Okay, thank you.

I'm so sorry for your loss.

(jackie pants)

(ominous music)

(jackie pants)

Kat, I need you at the studio as soon as possible.

- [kat] I'm already here, what's going on?

- I just uploaded a video on our storage cloud,

I need you to watch it and if it is what I think it is,

I need you to call the police.

- Wait, is this about that a strange brother

Who wanted to meet you where jon died?

- Oh yeah.

Kevin is actually jon's brother.

I'm pretty sure it's kevin who killed jon,

And I need to get ahold of madison,

Her phone's going straight to voicemail.

- Jackie, that is a huge accusation.

I know you've had misgivings about kevin, but a murderer?

- Yeah, well I hope I'm wrong, but I can't take any chances.

I need to find madison.

Okay, come on sweetie, come on.

- [madison] madison here, leave a message.

- Sweetie, I need you to call me, okay?

Call me back.

(phone buzzes)

(ominous music)

Kevin?

- [madison] hey, mum?

- Madison, why are you calling me on kevin's phone?

- Because I'm with kevin.

Did you try and call me?

My phone has been dead and he doesn't have a car charger.

- You're with kevin right now?

- Yeah, he's getting something out of the trunk.

He said we were on the way to meet you.

- Okay, sweetie, I need you to do something for me, okay?

I need you to get out of the car.

I need you to get out of the car, madison!

- What? - [jackie] get out of the car!

- Mum, I can't hear anything, there's terrible reception.

- Kevin is dangerous, get out of her car.

- What? (gasps)

(ominous music)

- Hello?

(dramatic music)

(jackie groans)

(ominous music)

(phone chimes)

(car tires screeches) (engine revs)

(soft music)

- [william] hello?

- William, I need your help.

Look, I realize that you don't owe any favors,

But you were right, kevin did it.

And now that we have the video evidence to prove it,

It's too late to go to the cops.

Kevin has madison.

I'm meeting him at the dance studio at 8:00 pm.

- I can't jackie.

I just can't help you out, I'm sorry.

What are you gonna do?

- Well, I'm gonna go get my daughter back.

(ominous music)

(car engine revs)

- That's no deer.

(dramatic music)

(door shuts)

Hello?

(ominous music)

(electric buzzes)

(ominous music)

Kevin?

(kevin sighs)

- Hey kat.

- Where have you been?

- Change of plans.

Jackie knows I killed jon and she's gonna be here at 8:00.

- I know, there's a video of it you dummy.

Your car recorded it.

- William, low life.

Always noses in way in other people's business. (chuckles)

It's okay, I'll deal with that later.

Can we delete the video?

- I already did.

- Good girl, pretty girl.

- Do you have to kill madison?

- Of course we have to, no loose ends.

Jackie signed the marriage certificate.

The family fortune will go to me.

- You mean us?

- I was thinking about that.

Although you did a great job convincing jackie to marry me,

I'm not sure if your services are gonna

Be needed moving forward.

(ominous music)

- You're scaring me, kevin.

- Well, it is my family fortune (chuckles).

What are you thinking of this story?

Poor jacqueline everstone cracks under the grief

Of her teenage daughter dying of a drug overdose.

- Kevin, please.

- She finds her daughter, madison, in her dance studio

With a needle sticking out of her arm.

What mother could handle that?

So she kills herself.

And finally and most tragic, her best friend, her confidant,

Her business partner will walk in and find

Both their dead bodies and die of a broken heart.

Leaving yours truly, the last man standing.

- Kevin, my pills.

- Your beta blockers or something?

Oops!

(kevin grunts)

(ominous music)

Crushing, isn't it?

I'm gonna watch your heart stop now.

Any final words?

- While you've been playing checkers,

I've been playing chess.

(gunshot)

(soft music)

How about we try a different story?

How about the everstone family curse takes down

Jackie madison and kevin leaving the beloved best friend

As the last woman standing?

Because the family attorney died mysteriously,

Madison's trust was never recorded.

Which means all jackie's assets are tied to her new business

And go to her partner after her death.

Bye kevin.

(kevin groaning)

(dramatic music)

(soft music)

(electric buzzes)

(ominous music)

- Hello?

(upbeat music)

Kat? - Jackie, come here.

- What happened? Are you okay?

Kat?

(gasps) kat? What are you doing?

- I have been a black swan my whole life.

You just fell into a fortune.

Kevin outlived his usefulness, so I killed him.

And now I am going to kill you.

- No! (grunts)

(both grunting)

(upbeat music)

(electric buzzes)

(smoke whooshing)

- Jackie?

- William.

- Are you all right?

- William, look out!

(glass shutters)

(upbeat music)

(glass shutters)

- Oh, jackie.

Come out, come out wherever you are.

Oh, don't be shy, jackie.

You now the drill, jackie.

The show must go on.

- Hey, kat. (pants)

The show is over.

(disco ball clanks)

(jackie gasps)

(ominous music)

(kevin grunting)

(jackie groans)

(soft music)

(indistinct radio chatter)

(police sirens blaring)

- [madison] mom.

- Oh, baby.

- [jackie] what happened to kevin?

- He didn't make it.

- Hey william, where are you going?

- Oh, I thought I had just go.

I don't wanna be in the way.

- No, you're not in the way.

You're the only family we have now.

Unless you want to disappear.

(soft music)

- No, no, I don't think I do.

Maybe I'll try something different this time.

Stick around.

- (chuckles) well, then I'd like you to meet someone.

- I'm your father's brother, william.

- Hi, uncle william, it's nice to officially meet then.

- Yeah, yeah, it is.

Come here, get in here.

Come here.

Yeah, get in here.

(soft music)

- It's time.

They are waiting for you.

- Thank you.

I couldn't have done this without you.

(dog pants)

- Hey, wow, you look great.

- Thank you, william.

- [madison] you ready, mom?

- It's you and I.

- Till the end of time.

(dog pants)

(jackie laughs)

(audience cheers)
