Laura?

Is anyone here?

Beth: Laura?

Laura.

beth! Beth!

Laura: He was just
so controlling.

It's like he didn't want me
to have a career,

to have friends,
to have a lunch.

Going out for drinks
became a whole ordeal--

who was I meeting,
where was I gonna be,

how long was I gonna be there.

I've noticed other clients

that are romantically involved
with police officers,

that it's all about control.

Matter of fact, you could say
that their safety depends on it.

I don't know who had it worse:
Me or my teenage daughter.

He was controlling of her too?

Well, more like doting.

He loved having a daddy's girl.

Even though he wasn't
her biological father,

he was the closest thing.

I mean, she lost her dad
at eight years old,

so that's the only father-figure
she had in her life for years.

He loved playing that role.

If only he didn't treat me
like a child as well...

Trust issues aren't uncommon
with second marriages.

I was a widow, not a divorcee.

Insecurities run deep.

After all, I mean,
he still replaced someone.

Even if it wasn't divorce,

the risk is always there
for him to be replaced as well.

I was devoted.
I was a good wife.

He didn't have to make it
so difficult.

Where are you in the process
of the divorce?

My lawyer's filed.
Michael just needs to respond.

Which he hasn't done.

That would mean accepting it.

In the meantime,
he's still contacting you?

He doesn't live there anymore,

but that doesn't seem
to stop him.

He's just as controlling,

just as emotionally abusive
as ever.

I assume that you've told him
he's not welcome.

Oh, yeah.

And how does that affect him?

It makes it worse.

Oh, I'm so happy that hannah
is finally coming home.

That's right.
Her first break from college.

It's gonna be so nice to
have her around the house again.

Does that really change things
with michael?

He's more diplomatic
when she's around.

Of course.

Wouldn't wanna upset
daddy's little girl, would he?

Precisely.

[bell tolling]

dad, you know
how busy things are.

I know, but I'm hoping
you'll be able to carve out

a little time to spend
with your old man.

Like I told you before,
I can't make any promises.

You mean you don't think
your mother would approve.

- Dad...
- She certainly approves

of the tuition
and mortgage payments I make.

Look, all I wanna do
is come back

and spend some time
at home, okay?

And yes,
hopefully see my parents.

Both of my parents.

Good, 'cause I've missed you.

Same.

You know, all I want
is for us to be together,

you, me and your mom.

I know. It's just...

It's just complicated
between you both.

We'll figure it out.

I really want this to work out
for all of us.

I know, dad.

Look, I'm just excited
you're coming home

and to see you and your mom.

Me too.

All right,
but I gotta finish packing,

or else I'm not
going anywhere.

All right, I'll let you go.
See you soon?

Right?

Yes, dad,
I will see you soon.

Beth: And how about you?

What about me?

Well, I'm assuming that
you're not just sitting around,

waiting for your ex to show
his jealous, bitter face.

No, not exactly.

So you getting out there?

You mean dating?

How about socializing?

I am a single mother,
recently separated,

who just started
her own design firm.

So the long answer is no.

No, I am not socializing.

I am not dating.

I just think
it's way too soon.

Michael moved out
six months ago.

How long are you gonna wait?

A year, two.

All right, I'm kidding.

You should date.

Maybe I could get a cat.

A cat?

Okay, I'm starting
to get worried.

Don't worry.

You need someone in your life,

not a business partner
or your daughter.

I know. And it does get
lonely sometimes,

but most of the time,

I just think that I am too old
for that nonsense.

Well, chances are
whoever comes along,

they're gonna feel
the same way too.

True.

Look, if you're uncomfortable
going to,

say, a bar or a restaurant,

there are other options.

Here we go!

It's the 21st century.

Oh, yeah, and love is just
a right swipe away, right?

I don't know what direction
they're swiping these days,

but there are other sites,
more conventional ones.

Um, our time is up.

Just promise me
that you'll consider it?

I will think about it.
How about that?

Close enough.

I'm serious, laura.

I know how important the
business and hannah is to you,

but you need
to take care of yourself.

You need to make sure that
your needs are taken care of.

Oh, okay. Thank you.

I will see you next time, doc.

Beth.

Beth.

Take care.

[phone ringing]

hello?

You don't sound like
you recognize the number.

New phone. Who is this?

You are so funny, hannah.

I don't remember
giving you this number.

That is because
brittany gave it to me.

Of course she did.

Yeah. I just wanted to call
and ask if you were going today.

Going to what?

To her pool party.

Come on, hannah. Don't tell me
you're gonna spend all your time

back home with your parents.

Well, some of us
actually respect our elders.

- Okay, ouch.
- It's true.

Plus, now that they're
separated, it's twice as hard.

You're right. I forgot.
I'm sorry.

Don't be.
Consider yourself lucky.

My dad won't stop playing
the old guilt card.

Well, maybe he still
loves your mom.

Maybe he should've realized that
before he... You know.

Uh, anyway, party?

You really just called to see if
I was going to brittany's party?

Okay, well, I just thought
it'd be cool, while you're back,

if I could see you, you know?

Especially since
you're gonna be so busy

respecting your elders
and whatnot.

What if I said
I'll try to stop by?

I'd say I'll take it.

Good, but for the record,

yes, I was planning
on making an appearance.

Awesome.

Um, I mean, yeah, cool, okay.
And I was thinking

since you probably don't have
your car while you're back,

I could swing by

and pick you up,
and we could go together.

Yeah, that sounds good to me.

Awesome. All right,
I will see you soon.

I'll see you soon. Bye.

[sighs]

it's good to be home.

Mom? I'm home!

Mom?

Mom?

- Surprise!
- Oh, my god!

Oh, honey! Ohh!

I'm way too young for you
to give me a heart attack.

What, can a mom surprise
her only daughter?

- It's your favorite.
- Oh, my god.

I'm sorry I couldn't
pick you up myself.

I've been just slammed
at the office.

Don't even sweat it, mom.

Oh, my god, so tell me,
how's the new job going?

You and angela
like being on your own?

We have one client.

Stop it. You'll get there.

But I told angela I am taking
the rest of the day off.

Oh, come on, mom. You really
didn't have to do that.

We'll grab some pizza,
catch up. Girls' night.

I'm supposed to go
to brittany's.

- Already?
- What?

I haven't seen those guys
in like two months.

You haven't seen me
in like two months.

You know that's not
the same thing.

And besides,
noah's gonna be there.

The truth comes out.

We've been keeping in touch.

Tomorrow though.
I promise.

What if your mom
has a hot date?

I wish that were true.

Hey, give your mom
some credit.

You don't have to be alone,
you know, mom.

This is about your dad?

- I know he still loves you.
- If you can call that love.

- You should give him a call.
- Not gonna happen.

You're the one
who drove him away.

- Hannah, that is not fair.
- All I'm saying--

all I'm saying is there are
two sides to every story.

Then tell me!

Soon. I promise.

But right now this cake
needs to get eaten.

Nice save, mom.

What? You had a long trip!

- Let me cut you a slice.
- This looks really good.

Thank you, but you didn't need
to get this for me.

My baby girl.

[phone ringing]

hello.

Lawyer:
Michael, how you holding up?

I'd be doing better if you
heard back from her lawyer.

I did. Look, it's time
for you to move on.

You know it's for the best.

So what, she's filing
for divorce?

That's it? She's really
going through with it?

It appears so.

I'm sorry, michael.

You know, forget it.

Why am I paying for you
to mediate this thing

when you have no clue
what you're doing?

Look, michael,
legally speaking, she--

I'll handle this myself.

Laura: Telling you, hannah,
you're gonna miss out.

I'm making that specialty
sandwich with mayo that you--

tomorrow, I promise.

Okay, good,
because time's gonna fly by,

and you'll be back on campus
before I know it.

I know, I'm sorry, but I'm gonna
be late, so I really have to go.

Hannah, hold up.

What?

You know what. Go change.

Mom, I'm in college.

You need me to install
a nanny cam in your dorm room?

Okay, big brother.

At least put on your jacket.

Okay, I will think about it.

How about you do it,

and I'll take an hour
off of your curfew.

Okay, you do remember
that I'm 18 now, right, mom?

Oh, yeah, all too well.

- Put it on.
- Thanks, mom.

- Sandwich...
- [doorbell rings]

- hey.
- Hey, ready to go?

- Yeah, let's do it.
- Okay, I'm so excited.

- I'm so excited.
- Yeah, me too.

- So how's your college?
- Awesome.

"metro fitness.

More than just exercise.

It's a new approach to life."

[groans]

"metro fitness.

Improving bodies
one muscle at a time."

yuck.

"you pay $100 a month

because you believe everything
you read on social media."

- [phone ringing]
- [gasps]

I hope you're having a better
time with this than I am.

Would you relax?

It's not like your entire firm
is riding on it.

Yeah, thanks. No pressure.

Hey, what happened
to taking the day off

to spend with your baby girl?

Uh, baby girl
made other plans.

Well, don't you remember
when we were 18?

Yeah, I do, and I don't want her
to have the same problems.

Good thing she's a better girl
than we were.

Oh, I pray that you're right.

And don't worry
about the pitch, okay?

You are brilliant.

Maybe I should just use that
in the presentation.

I think you should be
more focused

on the fact
that it's wine o'clock,

and you're sitting
by your computer alone.

Laura: Are you and hannah
comparing notes?

Hey, do you remember...

Liliana from the old firm,

how she met, um,
what's his name?

No, no, I am telling you
what I told my therapist:

I am not going to do
internet dating.

Oh, come on!
All the hip kids are doing it.

Well, it is a good thing
that I am neither one.

Well, after I finish
with my photoshop magic,

nobody's gonna be able
to tell the difference.

Or you could save some of
that magic for our client.

Okay, I can take a hint.
I shall leave you to your work.

I'll send you what I have
tomorrow.

Okay. Bye, girl.

Bye.

Hip kids...

"name: Laura."

no, wait.

"alura."
[laughs]

"hobbies: Reading,
watching tele--"

no.

"exploring the riches
of the written word

and indulging in the magic
of the silver screen."

oh.

"profile picture."

[groans]

[ding]

oh.

Okay.

Here.

Michael: What are you doing?

You scared the hell out of me.

I thought he was
pretty cute myself.

I'm not talking about
the stuffed animal.

What are you doing here?

What, I can't see my daughter?

You don't live here anymore.

So where's
my hannah banana anyway?

Your hannah banana
is a college student,

and she is at a party
with other college students.

Well, teddy here's
gonna be so disappointed.

Well, I'll tell you what.

I will tell hannah banana
that you stopped by.

You know, I may not
live here anymore,

but it's still my house.

So since when did
police officers

become so familiar
with real estate law?

Detective.

I'll tell you what.

I'll stop sending the checks,

and we'll see who they send
the collection notices to.

I never asked to be
your charity case.

Yeah, how's the new firm
going anyway?

Come on, laura,
it doesn't have to be like this.

Give me another chance.
I told you I'm sorry.

Yeah, you did.
Multiple times.

Same old laura.

Always playing hard to get.

Oh, that's funny

'cause I thought I was playing
not to be gotten... Again.

Huh.

What are you doing?

Working.

Doesn't look like work.

Client privilege.

I'm sorry.
I need to get back to work.

Fine.

Guess I'll show myself out.

Trust me, those guys
aren't worth your time.

Mom, mom, mom,
listen to this.

"it's nice to meet you, alura.

When I look into
those beautiful eyes,

all I see is a thoughtful woman
who deserves to be appreciated."

and they say
chivalry is dead.

Guys don't think this crap
actually works, do they?

Do they have privacy
at that college of yours?

No, I just needed
to look something up,

and I didn't know
the wi-fi code.

One, two, three, four, five.

Wow. Your creativity
knows no bounds.

Speaking of bounds...

Relax! It's a good thing.

Besides, you already got
20 replies.

Wait. 20?

Mom, what are you doing?

Do you even know
what you're looking for?

Tall, dark
and not a serial killer.

Wow. You really have
no experience at this.

And you do?

Okay, relax.
My roommate did it.

This one looks good.

"hi, alura. I'm kevin."

ooh, kevin!

- Keep reading.
- Okay, okay.

"I've gotten a little exhausted
of the children on the site

who are looking for someone
to take care of their emotional

and financially stunted needs.

What happened to good,
old-fashioned conversation?

I was about to give up
completely,

and then I saw you.

If you're like me and you're
actually looking for someone

who has something to say,
press okay.

If you just want a good time,
hit decline."

a poet.

He's handsome.

- Yeah, he is.
- Oh, my god, look at that.

Says he lives
in beverly hills.

Okay, that doesn't
mean anything.

Here, just let me
do something right here.

Mom!

I had a moment of weakness.

But how is kevin gonna feel?

Kevin will survive.

Okay, you do realize in one week
I'm gonna be back at school,

and you're gonna be
all alone on the couch,

watching soaps
with a tall glass of rose.

Soaps are all a girl needs.

- And don't forget about dinner.
- Yes, I promise.

No boys.

Not even if I need someone
who will take care of

my emotional
and financially stunted needs?

- [laughs]
- he's still single.

[laura groans]

just saying.

Angela: Try blue.

What if we match the eyes?

Okay. What if we increase
the logo by 30%?

Let's start with 20.

Hmm. 25.

Yes! How about we send that off
and see what they say?

Laura.

Our very first job...
Of our very own firm.

You know, I think about

how long that we dreamt
about this moment,

and now here we are.

Yeah, I think I'll celebrate
when the check clears.

Laura?

[yawns]
no, I'm fine.

Please tell me you didn't stay
up working on this all night.

I-- yeah, and michael
might have come by.

Oh, no.

Yeah. He wants me
to give him another chance.

Oh, hell no.

Don't worry.
I set him straight.

Well, I think you need
to tell the lawyer.

What, and tell them what?

That michael's trying
to win back my daughter

by giving her
a stuffed teddy bear?

Please tell me
that's some kind of metaphor.

I wish it was.

Maybe it's good that hannah
went out last night.

Listen, don't worry about me.

Like I told michael,
it is over.

- Well, good for you.
- Yeah.

I have turned the page.

Oh, you went on the internet
dating site, didn't you?

[gasps]
you did!

Okay, I might have browsed.

But you know, there are
a lot of weirdos out there.

And you posted!

How could I not,

with that amazing, sexy photo?

Yeah, that amazing,
sexy photo

represents the finest piece
of artwork I have done to date.

Michelangelo wept.

So tell me, what happened?

- I took it down.
- What?

Laura, I know they say
you can't rush love,

but even I'd say you gotta
give it more than six hours.

You know, I barely have time
for anything in my life as-is.

Okay, all right,
I will leave you to your work.

I will be in my office.

Working on your next
masterpiece?

Oh, these guys aren't gonna
know what hit them.

[computer beeps]

who is bhguy310?

- It's him.
- It's who?

One of the guys
that answered my ad.

And you got responses.

But I canceled my account.

So he tracked you down.
That's romantic.

Oh, or he's a stalker.

Let's see his picture.

Oh, yeah, he could stalk me.

That's not funny.

"alura--
or should I say laura--

I was disappointed to see

that you weren't on
the blind date site anymore.

I hope that you don't mind
that I found you on linker

and wanted to say hi."

yeah, so romantic.

What? He took initiative.
So you gonna write him back?

Wait. You really think
I should?

He's hot.

- Well, yeah.
- Yeah.

And come on,
be honest with me.

When's the last time you were
with a guy other than michael?

Huh?

Too long.

Write him back.
Write him now.

- I will think about it.
- Yeah, yeah, yeah.

"it was a wonderful surprise
to get your message today.

I wasn't sure if I should
write you back,

but I suppose anybody who would
take the time to track me down

is worth getting to know.

Love to chat more sometime.

Let me give you my phone number,
so you can send me a text."

don't worry.
I've already got it.

[sighs]
dinner is almost ready.

Hey, you remember that
one profile that you liked?

Kevin?

He messaged me today.

What? I thought you quit.

He found me.

And?

And what?

Well, did you write him back?

Well, I might have given him
my phone number.

Mom!

Wait, should I have
not done that?

No! I'm just--
it's just so unlike you.

I'm not really sure how I feel
about all of this.

Well, sometimes you just gotta
go on a blind date, mom.

Yeah, and what if
I'm not ready?

Just keep an open mind.

[phone rings]

- well?
- [ringing continues]

it's him.

And we're off!

- [ringing continues]
- please.

Well, it's not gonna
answer itself.

What do I even say?

"hello" usually works.

[ringing continues]

I'm not here.

[clears throat]
hello.

Ah, there she is.

[laughs]
here I am.

Wasn't sure
if you'd actually pick up.

Oh, well, I debated.

Yeah? Well, I won't bite.

Would you tell me if you did?

Well, I guess that depends.

So do you do this often?

Do what? Call strange women
I meet on the internet?

Yeah.

Well, only the ones
I find interesting.

Oh, well, I suppose
that I should be flattered then.

Yeah. So what are you doing?

Um, about to have dinner. You?

Just watching
a little television.

Anything good?

It's embarrassing, but I've been
binge watching soaps all day.

Soaps are my favorite.

No way! Mine too.
That's kinda my guilty pleasure.

I grew up watching them
in the afternoons with my mom.

Oh. I started watching them
in college.

Where did you go?

Undergrad or grad?

So you're educated.

I hope so. Took me long enough
to pay off these student loans.

[laughs]

[chuckles]
so hey, listen, um,

I don't want to sound
too forward,

but can I buy you a drink?

Just one?

[chuckles]

there's a new wine bar
that opened up on camden.

That is, if you're interested.

You must be reading my mind.

What if I was?

Then I would say
that I'm in trouble.

[chuckles]

so what do you say?
Tomorrow night? 7:00?

I guess I'll see you then.

Bye.

See you real soon.

That wasn't so hard, was it?

I have a date.

Cheers to that.

Oh, my--

laura?

- Hi.
- Hi.

Kevin. Nice to meet you
in person.

It's nice to meet you too.
Thank you.

So I took the liberty
of ordering some pinot.

Perfect. It's my favorite.

You don't say.

Yeah, I wasn't sure if you were
actually gonna come, so I...

I love that book.

You're kidding.

Read it multiple times.

Wow. You're not kidding.

So you love to read,

you're a fan of soaps,
two degrees.

What is it exactly
that you do?

Uh...

You're a vc.

What I do is I find companies
that I believe in

and then help them
reach their full potential.

- And you're in marketing.
- Yes, not nearly as exciting.

No, to the contrary.

I feel like marketing is
a very, very underrated skill.

- Really?
- For sure.

So take my line of work,
for example.

Say I give a company
$10 million.

It's usually capital
for a year,

bankroll a staff of 50.

But if nobody's aware
of what the product is,

then what good is it?

- Good point.
- Yeah.

So how many clients
do you have?

- Just one.
- Oh. That's dedicated.

Well, actually,
my partner angela and I

recently set off on our own.

So how's that going for you?

It's been... Interesting.

Yeah, I bet.
[chuckles]

you know, I'm playing golf
with chris burroughs

tomorrow afternoon.

The chris burroughs?

- So you know him.
- Well, not personally.

A little birdie told me that
he's not happy with his firm.

An account like that could
really make a difference.

I'll put a word in.

No, you don't have to do that.

No, I know,
but like you said,

an account like that could
really make a difference.

- Well, I'll drink to that.
- Yeah.

To new adventures.

- Cheers.
- Cheers.

Thank you. You really
didn't have to do that.

My pleasure.

Well, I guess I should call
hannah for a ride home.

Who's hannah?

Hannah's my daughter.

There's no need
to burden your daughter.

I can order you a rideshare.
Is a town car okay?

Oh, no, you really don't
need to do that.

No, it's the least I can do,
make sure you get home safely.

Well, you don't even know
where I live.

It might be expensive.

You worry too much.

And how are you
gonna get home?

I think I'll walk.

At this hour?

Yeah, it's a nice night.
It's not far.

You live nearby?

Yeah, just north
of santa monica.

That's a nice neighborhood.

Yeah, I do okay.

Shall we?

Okay.

Laura: I always felt
like his earlier work

was not quite as dark
as his later work.

- Dude!
- Oh, sorry, man.

Just watch where
you're going, all right?

I said I was sorry, man!

All right. You okay?

I'm fine.

All right.

Have a good night.

That was polite of you.

Well, what else
would I have done?

If you were my ex-husband,

you would have threatened
to punch him.

He's a cop, so I guess
you could say that he's...

Protective, let's say.

I was gonna say controlling.

Well, I don't see any reason
in making things worse.

That was very mature
and kind of you.

Well, I hope
we can do this again.

Me too.

Okay.

- [phone chimes]
- oh.

- [horn honks]
- there's my car. See you soon?

Yeah, see you soon.

Be safe.

[door opens]

[door closes]

- oh, hey.
- Wha...

Listen, why don't you
take load off, pal?

What?

- Mmm. Smells good.
- Oh, good morning.

There's homemade quiche
in the oven, if you're hungry.

Uh, dare I ask the occasion?

Can I just do something nice
for my baby girl?

Oh, so I take it well
last night?

I think so.

We talked about books
and soaps, work.

Damn. Venture capitalist, huh?
Ka-ching!

Oh, my gosh. So tell me, does he
really live in beverly hills?

Just north of santa monica.

Whoa. Okay, that is
big money, mom.

He's going golfing today
with chris burroughs.

[whistles]

friends in high places.

I did tell you
to keep an open mind.

- [phone chimes]
- you did.

[gasps]
h-hey!

"I had a great time
with you last night.

I just wanted to let you know
that I was thinking about you."

is that really what it says?

Oh, wow.

I-I gotta keep getting ready.

I'm gonna be late for work.

Oh, mom, I'm gonna hang with
brittany today, if that's cool.

- Sure.
- Okay.

And you know, if this is what
the new guy can do for you,

I hope you marry him.

Okay. You enjoy.

I'm gonna get a bite of that.
That smells really good.

- Okay, go for it.
- Okay.

I'm just gonna grab my laptop.
I'll be right back.

[phone ringing]

yeah, the uber's waiting.

No, I just, uh,
I had to grab my laptop.

I forgot I left it charging.

I know, I know.
I'll be there as soon as I can.

Um, hopefully traffic
won't be too bad.

I promise.
I'm on my way.

Like you actually want
to get work done anyway.

You're such a liar.

Yes, I'll see you soon.
All right, bye.

Laura: Hannah!

[door closes]

hannah, are you here?

[phone ringing]

laura: Hey, angela.

Oh, yeah,
I have that stuff over here.

It's in storage in the garage.
Let me get it.

[door opens]

[door closes]

so it went well?

Yeah. It was...

Refreshing.

I thought it might be.

He's mature and thoughtful
and intelligent.

You have no idea how happy I am
to see you smile.

I am smiling, aren't I?

And to think you were gonna
miss out on this opportunity.

Okay, all right, I will take
my "I told you so's."

I deserve it.

No one knows what you need
more than you do.

My job is just to simply
point it out.

Well, in that case,
maybe you could point out

that I need a vacation,

preferably a tropical island.

Travel agency's next door.

[laughing]

so how does hannah feel
about this whole thing?

She's surprisingly
supportive.

Encouraging, actually.

Good to hear. You never know
how kids are gonna react.

Between the two of you, I feel
like I should just sit back,

close my mouth
and enjoy the ride.

You've got jokes,
but there's some truth to that.

What, letting my teenage
daughter plan my life?

No. Letting go
of that inner voice

that tells you
not to do anything.

Oh, I know,
but that voice can be so loud.

And yet here you are,
smiling and grinning.

You're happy.

[chuckles]

he was really sweet.

You know, it's not uncommon
for women in your situation

to just think that all men
are gonna be jerks.

My husband wasn't.
Hannah's biological dad.

Ever think of him?

Sometimes, yeah.

You know, I think about
what our lives would be like

if he hadn't gotten sick.

I'm sure you'd be happy.

You told me
he was a good man.

He was.

But?

But he's not the only one.

Exactly. Now this new guy,
please tell me he's not a cop.

No. No more cops.

I mean detectives.

Oh! Are we pulling rank?

Yes, we are.

[laughs]
so what does he do?

Finance. Venture capital.

Mmm! He's wealthy?

Well, you know that
that's not important to me.

Trust me.
I know what cops make.

Detectives.

Detectives.
[laughs]

you play your cards right,
and you are gonna be

on that tropical vacation
sooner than later.

Well, maybe I should stop into
that travel agent on my way out.

You deserve this.

You're gonna be
much better off.

Laura: How's brittany?
Hannah: She's good.

- You do anything exciting?
- Just homework.

On break?

You know it never really
ends, right?

Oh, yeah, don't I know it.

I actually had to come back home
today and grab my laptop.

Well, if you're done
for the night,

maybe I should
make us some popcorn.

What? You don't have
a hot date tonight, mom?

Is there something wrong
with taking things slow?

No.

Actually, I was thinking about

maybe having him over
for lunch tomorrow.

Hannah: Oh, introducing him
to the daughter already?

Laura: Well, I said slow,
not still.

[line ringing]

[phone ringing]

hey, there.

Your ears must have
been burning.

Always.
[chuckles]

anyway, I was calling to see if
you wanna have lunch tomorrow.

That's funny 'cause I was
just telling my daughter

that we should have you
over for lunch.

Ah, she sounds like
a remarkable young lady.

I'd love to meet her.

Okay, uh, do you like...

Swordfish?

Yeah, I love it.

Great!
Um, like I'll see you...

Late lunch, 3:00?

It's a date.

Great. It's a date.

I heard the d word.

He said it first.

Uh-huh.

All right, I will go
make us that popcorn.

Okay, either we have a new
client in the food industry,

or somebody's making dinner
for a certain someone.

Oh, well, I just wanted
to put my best cook forward.

Well, that would be easy.
Order out.

Well, I wouldn't want him
to think I can't cook.

- Food poisoning doesn't lie.
- Very funny.

So it's going well, huh?

It's only the second date.

And there'll be a third
and a fourth.

Yeah, well, maybe I actually got
lucky on this blind date thing.

- Can I give you some advice?
- Always.

- Strawberry shortcake
- what?

Yep, you can't burn it,
and you can't get sick of it.

Okay, I will
keep that in mind.

- You should. Get you some.
- Oh, come on!

Right.

[doorbell rings]

mom, mom, he's here.

Laura: I'm coming, I'm coming!

- I can get it.
- No! I'm here, I'm here!

How do I look?

Like there's a handsome man
coming over to the house.

Funny. And true.

Aren't you gonna let him in?

- Hi.
- Hi.

- Come on in.
- Thank you.

- These are for you.
- Oh, thank you.

Yellow roses are actually
my favorite. How'd you know?

I didn't. I thought
they'd go well with your eyes.

Look at that. They do.

Thank you.

And this must be
the famous hannah

I've been hearing
so much about.

- Hi.
- Nice to meet you.

Likewise.

Quick tour before lunch?

- Sure.
- Okay, right this way.

- He's so hot.
- I know.

So the dining room
is there on your right.

Kevin: Okay, this is beautiful.

So he hasn't exactly
made it easy,

but I feel like we're
rounding the corner.

Well, some people just
don't know how to let go.

Yeah. More coffee?

Please.

Kevin: Thank you
for a wonderful lunch.

You're welcome.

I don't have to rush
right back to the office,

if you wanna stay
a little longer.

Things are going pretty well.
Don't wanna rush anything.

Okay.

Thank you.

Hey! Hey, you can't
just go in there!

What are you doing here?

Who is he?

The man who had dinner
at my house yesterday.

First of all,
it is not your house!

The hell it's not.

And second, it is
none of your damn business!

None of my business?
Under my roof with my daughter?

Your daughter
is a grown woman.

My mistake. Then perhaps
between the two of you,

you can afford the mortgage.

Just because you have some sort
of financial obligation to us

does not mean that you own us.

And what,
are you spying on us now?

You really wanna be
independent, laura?

Because I have no problem
letting that happen.

All right, then why not we just
admit that this is not working

and go our separate ways?

So you can run off
with prince charming?

Michael, please.
I don't wanna argue anymore.

My mistake.

I'm sorry.

You're right.
I was out of line.

Look, I just want you
to be careful,

especially if you're gonna have
this guy come around the house.

Remember, I'm a cop.

I think I know a thing or two
about unstable people.

Yeah.

The only unstable person
around here is you.

I think we need
to call the police.

The last thing I wanna do
is make matters worse.

Oh, yeah, because it's going
so well right now.

[door closes]

thought I told you
I'd call you later.

Yeah.

And you told me
you're gonna leave her alone.

We all have a part to play,
don't we, steven?

All right, relax.

Everything is going
according to plan.

That's not the way
it looks from here.

Well, like I said,
you know, we can't rush this.

You sure that's what
this is about?

What do you care?
You don't love her.

You falling for her?

What, you think a guy like me
can't get a girl like that?

It depends.

You talking about
a guy like kevin holmes

or the real you?

Need I remind you?
You're just here to do a job.

All right,
just settle down, okay?

By the time
I'm through with her,

she'll be practically
running back to you.

For the amount of money
I'm paying you, she'd better.

Why don't you do us both
a favor, huh?

Why don't you leave
the threats to me?

'cause I have something
you don't-- her trust.

Wouldn't be a shame if something
actually happened to her?

Hmm? Or that cute little
stepdaughter of yours?

Oof.
[clicks tongue]

you have one week.

And get the hell
out of my house.

So you do want me to leave.

You worry too much.

[kevin laughs]

[grunts, pants]

noah: Hey, hannah!

- Oh, hey, what's up?
- Hey.

I was wondering if you wanted
to go out tonight with me.

You chased me down for that?

I mean, also to get my steps in,
so yeah, here I am.

Um, what do you think
about that?

Um...

Oh, very funny, okay.

- Come on, that was too easy.
- Whatever.

All right,
I'll pick you up at 6:00?

5:45.

Let's go 5:30.

You're a tough negotiator.

Must be that pre-law education
you're getting

at that fancy school.

Hey, ladies love lawyers, right?

We'll see about that.
Court's adjourned for now.

- You bet.
- Bye.

So noah might have
asked me for pizza.

A date, huh?

He didn't use those words
specifically, mom.

Look, I know I'm only here
for a little bit longer,

so I don't have to, you know,
if you wanna do something.

No, it's fine.

Okay. Thank you, mom.
I owe you big time.

Yes, you do. Big time.

- Bye, angela.
- See you, sweetie.

Good for you.

I figure we gotta let 'em
grow up at some point, right?

If you say so.

Oh, you think
this is about kevin.

I'm just saying
it must feel good

to finally have somebody
positive in your life.

Yeah, it is.

I knew it.

Uh, don't wanna rush things.

Okay.

Shortcake.

God, I miss this place.

I remember we used to come here
like every Friday night.

- Still the best pizza though.
- Tell me about it.

We have this place
down on campus,

but it is just not the same.

No, not at all.

Um, I gotta ask.

- Sounds serious.
- Very.

Okay, I am all ears.

Um, what took you so long?

- Wow.
- I mean, okay,

it's not like
I'm not excited to be here.

Yeah, I don't know.
I guess... I'm shy?

Come on,
you weren't that shy.

Yeah, you're right.
I guess, I don't know.

When you're in a new city
and a new school, new kids,

it kinda gets you thinking about
the things that you really miss.

Like this pizza?

Like this pizza!
Exactly, yes.

- And like you.
- Thank you.

Yeah, I'm just glad
your mom let you out.

She's just lonely.

And, you know, we'll be back
at our respective campuses

before you know it.

Yeah. Then what?

Then what, what?

You'll be down in san diego,
I'll be in the bay area--

wait, you don't think
we have bigger problems

to worry about first?

Such as?

Such as whether or not
we should order more pizza

or save room for dessert?

I will miss you, hannah,
for the record.

And don't worry about my mom.
She has kevin now.

Her boyfriend's name is kevin?

He's not her boyfriend.
He's just a guy who...

- Who she likes.
- Yes.

That's the rumor.

- Good for her, honestly.
- Yeah.

And good for me too.

Indeed, yeah.

I'm gonna hit the girls' room.

See a waiter,
can you get me another drink?

Sure, you got it.

What is it?

It's-- it's him.

- You mean kevin?
- Mm-hmm.

Hey, I know you
from somewhere.

Can't you see
I'm on the phone?

No, no, no, no.
I'm gonna get it.

Leave me alone.

Looks like that guy's
giving him a hard time.

Bartender: Okay, buddy.

Yeah, maybe they're just arguing
about the bill or something.

Whatever you say.

No, it's just some guy that
won't mind his own business.

- You ready to go?
- Yeah.

God, sorry. I hope I didn't
sound too paranoid back there.

Hey, you're looking after
your mom. I can respect that.

So that means
you'll see me again?

- Means I'll think about it.
- Hey!

Yes, of course
I will see you again.

Really?

I'm hooked now.
Gotta find out what happens.

Binging my mom's love life?

Honestly, it beats all
the other shows I watch, so yes.

Anyways, I will leave you to it,
and it was great seeing you--

goodbye, noah.

[door closes]

let's go!

Steven johnson.

See, I knew
I knew you from somewhere.

Jason? What the hell
are you doing here?

Making 10 bucks an hour,
plus tips.

I thought you still had
two years.

Nothing beats good old-fashioned
overcrowding, huh?

Come on, I'm buying.

No, I don't think so.

So what's her name?

Who?

The woman you were just
talking to on your phone.

I saw it. What was it?

Laura?

Uh, laura reynolds.

Steven, I guess
she has no idea

who steven johnson really is,
does she?

Well, the question is...

How badly you wanna make sure
she doesn't find out?

You know what? Maybe I will
have that drink after all.

Good choice.

After you, pal.

Hi, mom.

Hey, sweetie.
How was the date?

Eh, it was fine.

That good, huh?

It was just a first date, mom.

So it was a date.

Okay, we split a pizza.

Well, nothing says love like
a large cheese and pepperoni.

Listen.

I submitted the paperwork
to your dad's attorney today.

So it's... It's final.

Mm-hmm.

Um, I have a lot of
reading to do, mom,

so I'm just gonna
head upstairs, okay?

Not without a hug first.

Come here.

- I love you.
- I love you too, mom.

♪ [rock]

[phone ringing]

steven!

What a pleasant surprise.

Okay, so how much?

I guess that depends on how much
she's worth to you, my friend.

I have a hunch
it's a pretty penny.

I'm still waiting
on a price.

Same old steven.

You always were a romantic,
you know that?

And you were always
the opportunist, weren't you?

So look, jason, as much as
I would love to talk all day

and reminisceabout our time
on the inside together,

I think you need to cut
the crap and give me a price.

Oh, that's no way to talk
to an old friend.

Old friends don't
blackmail each other.

Oh, who said anything
about blackmail?

Think of it as a business
proposal between friends.

So what can you offer me?

Five thousand.

Oh, ouch!

And here I was thinking she
actually meant something to you.

Ten.

Fifteen.

What if I wasn't the romantic
you thought I was?

I'd make it fifteen,
or I'll send her a juicy story

about the time
great and wonderful steven

spent a week in solitary
for, um...

What'd they call it?

Security threat behavior?

Fine. Fifteen.

I have to make a few calls.

You know where to find me.

I'll be by soon.

Angela and I have a 9 a.M.
Meeting at the office.

Yeah, sure, no problem, mom.

No way.

Whatcha watching?

Nothing. Just some news clips.

Oh, anything good?

Um, an apartment fire
in north hollywood

and gas prices
are going up again.

Right. Well, my meeting
shouldn't last too long.

You wanna meet up for lunch?

- Sure.
- Okay, see you then.

- Bye, mom.

- Hey, you.

Just happened to be

Thought I'd see
if your mom was home.

Oh, she actually had a meeting
this morning.

Oh. Home alone, huh?

You're not getting in
any trouble, are you?

Not unless you include
the six chapters I have to read

before going back to class.

How's the break going?

You been able to
hang out with friends?

A little.

It's just kind of
flying by, you know?

Yeah, well, I guess I should

I'll tell her you stopped by.

Thanks.

Have a good day.

me and laura.

You leave my stepdaughter
out of this.

I'm just doing
what you hired me to do.

I just got off the phone
with my lawyer.

My condolences.

She submitted the paperwork.

You know what that means?

The divorce is almost final.

What's that have to do
with me?

You were supposed to scare her,
not court her.

[distant arguing]

okay. Well, fine.
Take it back.

- What the hell are you doing?
- Giving you a refund.

You don't like the job
I'm doing, take it back.

Hey, careful.

No. That's your problem,
isn't it?

Don't you start getting
any ideas about my wife.

Ex-wife.

Just remember,
you're still on parole.

One phone call from me,
and you go back to jail.

That means I own you.

Dad? What's going on?

Your mother's new friend and I
are just having a little chat.

Ain't that right?

Yeah, yeah.

Don't forget to give your mom
those flowers, okay?

I will.

Bye now.

That's the new guy, huh?

Yeah. He's pretty cool.

Charming.

[tv playing war movie]

shh...

[phone ringing]

noah: I came as soon as I could.
Hannah, what's going on?

It's my stepfather.

Somebody broke into his place
yesterday.

Oh, my god. Is he okay?

No. Apparently
he got beat up pretty bad.

He's been
in the hospital since.

Do you want me to drive you
down there or something?

No. He can't have visitors yet.

I'm sorry, hannah.

He was here yesterday.

Your stepfather?

Yeah. I saw him arguing
with kevin.

Did he say anything to you
about it?

No. Kevin was just dropping off
some flowers from my mom.

Hmm. Do you think he said
something to her?

I don't know. But first
that one guy and now this?

You think kevin's dangerous.

I think he's hiding something.

We gotta tell your mom.

And say what? That we saw him
arguing with my dad?

What's that gonna do?

Hey, do you have like
a business card or something?

My mom should. Why?

I just feel so helpless,
you know, just waiting around.

- I know.
- Think we'll hear something?

Hannah?

What are you doing?

Um, just, uh,
grabbing some water.

It's just so dry.

It's a nice day out.
You should go out and enjoy it.

Well, with everything
that's going on right now--

it's okay. Kevin's here.
He'll take care of me.

Are you-- are you sure?

Because we were just thinking
about hanging around

until they call
with an update.

There's no sense in both of us
just waiting around.

Hey, mom, um, can we maybe
just chat for a minute?

- I'll wait in the other room.
- Thank you.

Hey, what's up?

I don't know. I just have
a really bad feeling.

About what?

Kevin?

I might have seen him
the other day at the pizzeria.

- He didn't mention that.
- He doesn't know.

But noah and I saw him arguing
with the bartender.

- And?
- He's dead.

- What?
- Yeah.

- And dad came by yesterday.
- Michael was here?

Yeah. They got into
an argument.

I'm not saying
that kevin did anything,

and it's probably
just a big coincidence,

but just...

Just, just promise me
you'll be careful, okay?

Okay, okay.

Of course, sweetheart.
Don't worry.

Seems legit.

Okay, any third grader
can make a website these days.

Well, let's see how elementary
it really is.

Assuming it's even
a real phone number.

That's why I'm calling
the main line.

Okay.

Receptionist: Marksman capital.

Hi. I'm calling
for kevin holmes.

Hold, please.

I'm sorry, ma'am, but we don't
have anyone here by that name.

Thanks anyway.

Surprise, surprise.

Let's see where our non-venture
capitalist leads us.

It's gonna be okay,
all right?

Thank you.

I'll talk to you soon.

- Okay.
- Okay.

- Thanks.
- Okay.

- Bye.
- Bye.

Hannah: Careful.
He's turning right.

I got it.
Any idea where we're going?

Wherever it is, hopefully it's
someplace with some answers.

Well, it looks like
he's heading

towards the neighborhood
he said he lived in.

And are you sure this isn't
just all in your head?

Look, let's just actually
get there first,

and then I'll answer
your question, all right?

Fair enough.

Hold on.
I think he's slowing down.

Finally.

Hmm. Looks like
he really does live here.

Hmm. Does he?

[click]

hmm. Looks like mr. Not-a-vc
is renting.

I knew it just had to be
too good to be true.

Excuse me!

[door closes]

can I help you?

Uh, that-- that depends.
Who are you?

Uh, the owner of the property
you're currently trespassing on.

Oh, um...

Actually, we were invited.

Oh.

Are you friends
of my tenant's?

Because he didn't tell me
anyone was stopping by today.

Uh, must have slipped his mind,
but yeah.

It was just a really
last-minute thing.

We just happened
to run into him,

and he said
we had to stop by.

And he lives
in your guesthouse?

Well, he certainly doesn't
own this place.

Oh, I don't think
he was suggesting that.

No, nothing like that.

I told him I didn't want
people hanging around here

and no parties,

and he said,
"oh, that'll be just fine."

I swear I regret
ever leasing to this man.

Leasing?

Short-term, thankfully.

Look, don't tell him
I told you this,

but I cannot wait for these
three months to be up.

I have a really nice couple.

They're ready to rent this place
for an entire year.

Well, yeah,
don't worry about us.

We won't say anything.

Mum's the word.

Would you like me to tell him
you stopped by?

You know what? I think we'd
rather just keep it a surprise.

Yeah, if you don't mind.

Hey, don't worry about me.
I can keep a secret.

Thank you.

It was so nice meeting you,
uh, mrs...

- Tyler.
- Mrs. Tyler. Awesome.

Bye.

Okay.

Did you hear what she said?

Sounds like a model tenant.

I told you I didn't trust him.

We gotta call your mom
about this.

Wait a minute.
I wonder where she is.

Wait. Let's go this way.

And now hannah's
been acting strange.

- In what way?
- Like she doesn't trust him.

Do you?

Do I what, trust him?

Look, um, I know that
you two have gotten close,

and I wanted you
to date again, but...

Do you think
you're moving too fast?

Yeah, maybe.

And I want you to know
that I am not passing judgment.

- I know.
- However...

Sometimes we project
our own fears onto others.

For example,
it might be easier for you

to imagine that hannah
is being suspicious

than for you
to face your own concerns.

I just don't know
what to think anymore.

What does your heart say?

That I want everyone
to get along.

And that's completely
understandable,

especially given your history
with michael.

But I'll remind you
there was a time

when you thought that
he was the perfect guy too.

Do you have to remind me?

And I'm saying this
as a friend.

If there is any reason--

I mean any reason at all
for concern,

promise me
you'll pump your brakes.

Okay, I will. I promise.

Hannah: Thank you.
Okay. Bye-bye.

- Well?
- That was angela.

She said my mom went
to go see her therapist.

Hmm. That explains why
she's not answering her phone.

Probably.

You know where her office is?

Noah: Who are you calling?

Chris burroughs' office.

Look, everything that kevin has
told us so far has been a lie,

so I wanna see if there's
any truth to this.

Okay.

[line ringing]

receptionist:
Burroughs technology.

How may I direct your call?

Hi. This is janet calling
from kevin holmes' office.

Mr. Holmes was interested
in setting up a tee time

with mr. Burroughs.

He's anxious for a rematch after
that last round on Tuesday.

I'm sorry. You must have
the wrong number.

This is burroughs technology,
right?

Chris burroughs is your ceo?

Yes, but mr. Burroughs
has been out of the country

for the last two months,

and he doesn't even play golf,
in any event.

Thank you.

Well?

More lies.

Just how much you think
this guy's lied about?

At this point,
I wouldn't trust a word he says.

Let's step on it.

Is she here?

Hannah.

Is mom here?

You just missed her.

- She's not here.
- Do you wanna try her office?

Hold on. This wouldn't happen
to be about kevin, is it?

Why? How much
do you know about him?

Not much, but I have a feeling
I'm about to learn a lot more.

And you're sure this wasn't
some home office?

A lot of people work
from home these days.

No. I'm telling you
it's not an office.

- He lives there.
- Yeah.

Noah: We talked to the owner.

She confirmed
that she's renting to him.

Hannah: And according to her,
it was just rented,

like right around the time
he would've met my mom.

Okay.

And the company he works for,
they never even heard of him.

And I also called
that guy burroughs' office,

he doesn't even play golf.

Hmm. You don't miss a thing,
do you?

- No.
- [phone ringing]

it's mom.

Hi, mom. What's up?

Yeah, no,
I just had a question,

but I figured it out.

That's okay.
Uh, I'll see you later then?

Okay, see you then. Bye.

Is she okay?

Yeah.

All right, you two head home.

I'm gonna think about this
for a minute.

- Okay.
- And one last thing.

That lady who owns the house,
what's her name?

At least my mom's okay.

I don't know why he would lie
about so much stuff.

I don't know. This makes me
really uncomfortable.

I know something's wrong.

It's like my gut feelings
tell me he's lying.

Noah: About his job too?

Gotcha.

[phone chimes]

I'm here. Where are you?

[phone chimes]

turn around?

What the hell?

Whoa, whoa.

Let me be clear.

Laura and I
have something special,

and I'm not gonna let anyone
get in the way.

We understand each other?

Hey! Do we understand
each other?

Yes.

Okay. Good boy.

Well, please let me know
if you see him, okay?

Hey, everything okay?

No. Noah's not answering
any of my messages,

and his parents
haven't seen him.

Is it possible he left
and went back to school early?

Without telling anybody
or saying goodbye?

No. Something's not right, mom.
I can feel it.

Oh, sweetie, I wish I didn't
have to go to the office,

but you call me
if you need anything, okay?

- I will.
- Okay.

- You know how to find me.
- Thanks, mom.

Okay. Bye.

Please, please, please,
please answer.

[line rings]

hey, it's noah.
Leave a message.

Voicemail: This mailbox is full

and not accepting messages
at this time.

Damn it.

Mrs. Tyler:
Yes, I rent my guesthouse. Why?

I'm doing a background check
on a potential client

who said he's renting
from you now.

I was wondering did he happen
to give you his full name.

Mrs. Tyler:
His name's steven johnson.

Really? Steven johnson, huh?

Thank you.
You've been very helpful.

- No problem.
- Bye-bye.

Laura.

[line ringing]

come on, laura.

Laura: You've reached laura.

I can't come to the phone
right now,

so leave a message and I'll--

damn it.

Hannah.

[phone ringing]

- hello?
- Hey, hannah, it's beth.

Is your mom there?

No. Why?

I just found out that kevin's
real name is steven johnson.

- What?
- Mm-hmm.

I've been searching
jail records.

I figured this scumbag's had to
have been inside at least once.

Smart move.

They knew each other?

What?

- [door closes]
- [gasps]

what is it? What's wrong?

I think there's
someone outside.

- I'm on my way.
- Okay.

Mom.

What? I forgot something.
What's going on?

That's a good question.

Kevin.

Okay, what is happening?

Go on.
Tell her why you lied.

Laura: What are you
talking about?

I know your name
isn't kevin holmes,

I know you don't work
for marksman capital,

and I know you don't own a house
in beverly hills.

Yeah, we saw the guesthouse.

You're right.

My name is steven,
and I do live in beverly hills.

I just don't own the house.

However, in my defense,
I never said that I did.

Well, you certainly didn't
go out of your way to deny it.

All you had to do was ask.

I would've told you
all about the guesthouse.

You mean the guesthouse that
you just so conveniently rented

and moved into
earlier this month.

Yeah, while my house
was being fumigated.

I had to find a house
that was centrally located.

I don't see
what the big deal is.

And the job?

Job, yeah.

Fine.

I had a little...

Disagreement with the sec
about a year or so back.

I was forced to invest
under a different name.

I'm sorry.
I should've said something.

I just didn't want you
to think that--

hannah, I know
this is tough for you,

a new person
in your mom's life.

But I really think we can
make this work, don't you?

I know michael hired you.

What?

Oh, that idiot has no idea
what he's doing.

Oh, really?
Is that why you hurt him?

Kevin, what is going on?
Did you attack michael?

Admit it!
I'm right, aren't I?

Actually, you couldn't be
more wrong.

Wait, so you didn't hurt him?

Oh, I hurt him.

But I did it to protect you.
I did it to protect both of you.

Oh, and that makes you,
what, prince charming,

just rushing in here
on your white horse,

sweeping the damsel in distress
off her feet?

Is that so hard to believe?

If you really cared
about my mother,

why don't you just
leave us alone?

Because I wanna be
a part of her life!

I wanna be a part of your life!

Too bad! We already missed
all the daddy-daughter dances!

I think if you just
give me a chance,

you'll realize
I'm not such a bad guy.

Okay, why don't we just go ask
your buddy jason about that?

Oh, wait, we can't, can we?

You're not listening
to what I'm saying, okay?

I did it for you,
and I did it for your mother.

I don't believe this.

Goddamn it!

Why won't you just listen
to what I'm saying?

Okay, that's the thing.
People just talk and talk

and nobody ever listens to me.

You know, you're just like
your stepfather.

You're trying to tear us apart.

What does michael
have to do with this?

- He hired him.
- What is going on?

After he got out of prison.

Jail.

What was it?

Help you get parole
in exchange for seducing my mom?

Okay, listen,
whatever michael promised you--

I would never hurt you.

I love you.
He never appreciated you.

He never realized what
a good thing he had, but I do.

- Kevin--
- you mean steven.

Kevin.

Please.

Just don't hurt us.

I just want us
to be together.

Okay, michael can go to hell
for all I care,

as long as we're a family.

I love you.

- You barely know me.
- No, I do know you.

I know that
you're a decent woman

getting out of
a horrible marriage

from somebody who clearly
never appreciated what he had.

We can do this together.

Yes.

No.

We can do this.

Just don't hurt us.

I was really hoping
you'd be different.

But you're just like
all the others.

Now, we can do this
the easy way...

Or we can do this
the hard way.

Laura?

Is anyone here?

Beth: Laura?

- Laura?
- [muffled yelling]

laura: Beth!
[gasps]

beth!

Oh, my god!
Oh, my god!

Where is he?
Where is he?

You don't have to hurt them.

I can help you.
We can help you.

Please, please don't do this.

It's too late for that.

Leave my family alone!

Will you please
just shut up?!

[thud]

laura...

Looks like you picked
the wrong blind date.

Get you untied.

I'm so glad that you
and your mom are okay, hannah.

Thank god somebody found you.
I was so worried about you.

I'm so sorry for
dragging you into all this.

Hey, no, you don't have
to apologize.

And I'd do anything for you,
you know that.

And honestly, I can't wait
for our next college break.

I'm gonna miss you so much.

We'll talk every day,
I promise.

Okay.

Oh, so this is it.
Going back to campus.

Don't worry, mom.
I'll be back in a month.

I'm gonna hold you to that.

You gonna be okay here
all alone?

Oh, sure. The da said
that kevin and michael

are not gonna be bothering
anyone anytime soon,

and angela and I made
our first client so happy

that he's referred us
to five more.

Five more? What?

Sounds like you might need
to hire some more help, mom.

Yeah, so if you happen to know
anyone in need of a summer job,

send them my way.

I'm gonna hold you to that.

Oh, and no more online dating.

Oh, no, I promise.

I am not gonna be returning to
that dating game anytime soon.

I love you, mom.

Oh, I love you too.

- My god.
- Don't go.
