If you're excited and you're hungry

Let's eat hearty!

That's right. It's something you can make at home.

And would you look at that?

A perfect, fluffy quiche with a light and flaky crust.

[audience claps]

Well, thank you. Thank you.

Well, you know, we're in for special treat today.

You, of course, know her very well.

Please welcome my wife and former co-host, grace hardy.

[audience claps]

Hi, everyone.

Oh, I'm so happy to be here.

Hey.

Ooh, what's this?

Mhm, it's a quiche.

-Take a bite. -[audience exclaims]

-Let's see. -Tell me what you think.

[audience claps]

-That's good. -Yeah, it's delicious.

Yeah, it's pretty good.

Baby likes it too.

-Aw. -Yeah.

The...

-Um- -I'm eating for two.

-Excuse me. -[cell phone rings]

[grace] I can't help it.

-Beth? -[ominous music]

Beth, are you there?

I need you, mom.

What's wrong?

Beth?

I'm pregnant.

Pregnant?

And you're just now telling me?

Well, we weren't exactly on speaking terms.

I've missed you this last year.

Honey, your father and I were trying to protect you.

That's why we didn't tell you that he was sick.

You weren't protecting me. You were lying to me.

I feel like I lost both of you the day he passed.

Just, mom, can we please talk about this later?

Wait. Who's the father?

It's complicated.

Honey, where are you?

Do you need me to come get you?

No, I'll come to your place.

[ominous music]

-Beth? -[phone line beeps]

Beth?

[ominous music]

[phone rings]

[beth] hey, it's beth. Leave a message.

Beth.

Are you coming over here tonight?

Are you all right? Call me!

-[beth grunts] -[ominous music]

[beth yelps]

[ominous music continues]

[beth groans]

[beth groans]

Please...

[unnerving music]

[creepy music]

Okay, you've got your al dente pasta,

Just enough sauce to coat.

There we go.

Pasta ala matilda.

Thank you so much for watching,

And make sure you let me know what you want

Matilda and I to make next.

Bye.

Yodid so good!Od! You

Looky! Ouch.

Good morning!

Good morning, auntie molly.

Hi!

Oh, that's for you.

Oh,a lifesaver.You're

-Of course.

-Co-okay.E, you.

Hi! Oh my goodness.

Were here to meet her.

Yeah, me too.

Hey.

Oh, muah.

-[-hi. Chuckling]

I'll go put her down.

You're up early.

Matilda and I had a lot to do.

--Yeah.Od.

How was the livestream?

She is a natural.

Well, takes after her mother.

Delightfully dairy products?

Oh, no. Oh my gosh!

I completely forgot.

Hey, look, it's my fault.

I should've stocked up.

And maybe no one noticed.

Our sponsor notices everything.

Hey, don't worry about it.

Ugh.

[unnerving music]

How were the ratings last week?

Uh, steady.

Yeah, the viewership is up.

That's great.

[grace chuckles]

Wow.

That's amazing what me getting sick and leaving the show

Has done for the numbers.

Remember, maternity leave.

I still think we should've told the fans the truth

That I've been sick.

It was perfect timing.

You needed to rest and recover.

And we all agreed it'd be best to hide the surrogacy.

Okay, this type of arrangement's

More common than you think, all right?

Yeah.

And does it really matter

Whether you physically carried matilda or not?

No, you don't have to carry a child to be a mother.

I just think that we built this on-

Hey, hey, hey, hey.

Everything's gonna be just fine.

Oh.

-Trust me. Do you trust me? -[grace chuckles]

Yes.

Okay.

Ew, get a room, will you?

Okay, well, the last thing we need right now

Is more things to stress over, right?

Yes.

The doctor did say that the blackouts, or whatever they are,

Are stress induced.

Okay, look.

We're still trying to figure out what's going on with you.

Now's not the time to overextend yourself.

I feel fine.

I really do.

I haven't had an episode in months.

I'm telling you, this new medication is working.

That's great, sweetie. That's great.

Grace, motherhood looks really good on you.

Are you sure you wanna go back to the show next month?

Maybe I could step in front of the camera.

-How hard could it be? -[grace laughs]

Oh, that's funny.

But no, a year is more than enough time for me to be away.

She's right. We need her.

I'm sorry I won't be there for your epic return.

Are you sure you still wanna take that job in boston?

Yeah, you know, we could see if someone here

Needs a talented reporter.

Yeah.

[molly chuckles]

You know, I love you guys very much,

But I need to do this on my own.

You've helped me enough over the years.

The truth is, we just can't keep her

As our assistant forever.

I know. I'm trying.

Molly, we're really happy for you.

Thank you. That means a lot.

-[text message beeps] -oh.

Until then, dry cleaning duty.

-Bye. -Bye.

-[mellow music] -[grace laughs]

Sorry this took so long.

I had to cut through a lot of red tape to get it.

What's this?

That is a copy of the surrogacy agreement.

[unnerving music]

Beth's egg was used for the pregnancy?

[david] your granddaughter's name is matilda.

[amelia gasps]

Oh!

[lighthearted music]

Matilda.

Beth is matilda's biological mother.

Surely I must have some legal rights?

I'm afraid it's not that simple.

Why not? She's my flesh and blood.

She's the only piece of beth I have left.

Unless you can somehow prove that these are unfit parents,

Our options are limited.

Parents?

Beth is matilda's real mother.

Legally, she isn't.

What about this couple who have matilda?

Right.

Grace and alex hardy. You may have heard of them.

This can't be.

I watch their show.

She was pregnant.

She was faking?

[david] it isn't illegal to hide a surrogacy.

[amelia] I still don't understand

What happened that night.

According to the police report,

Beth was living with the hardys,

She went into labor at the house, started hemorrhaging.

Mm, something's not right.

Beth died in the hospital, in the hands of doctors.

There was no reason to suspect foul play.

You should've heard her on the phone, david.

She was scared.

What if they did something to her?

Did something?

Are you saying the hardys killed beth?

I just think there's something more going on.

[david] from what I can see,

There's no evidence of any bigger conspiracy.

[amelia] something happened in that house,

And I'm going to find out what it was.

-[ominous music] -[matilda cries]

[interviewer] grace, you look great.

Thank you.

Alex has been taking good care of me.

Well, just doing my daddy-to-be duties.

[grace chuckles]

This is an exciting time for you.

The new season of "eat hardy" just started,

And the new book is doing so well.

Grace, why did you decide to leave the show?

I haven't left.

I am just taking a break to prioritize my health.

Yeah, grace's pregnancy hasn't been easy.

[grace] there have been some challenges.

What?

Turned out grace needed to watch her sugar levels.

Yeah, I've been craving sweets, so we had to get creative.

Yeah, and a lot of the new recipes ended up in the book.

Yes. They did.

[alex] ooh.

[grace laughs]

Despicable.

-[laptop beeps] -[tense piano music]

-[matilda cries] -oh, hey.

Hey, it's okay.

Shh, mama's got you.

[ominous music]

[grace gasps]

Luke!

God, you scared me.

Sorry, gracie. I didn't mean to sneak up on you.

Where have you been?

That's my welcome back after all these months?

Your brother and I, we care about you,

We worry when you disappear.

Look, if you really care about me,

Can you help me out, please?

I only need a couple hundred bucks,

And alex isn't answering my texts.

We can't keep giving you money.

It doesn't help you get better.

I know what I need.

I can't.

Okay? Alex will kill me.

You can't? Or you won't?

Luke, will you consider trying rehab again?

It might be different this time.

We will cover all the expenses.

Come on, gracie.

You of all people ought to know how hard it is

To make it through the day without your pills.

That's not fair.

What's not fair is your sister

Is just as much a screw-up as me,

Yet you have no problem giving her money.

Molly works for us, and she has come a long way.

She's learned from her mistakes.

So I make a couple of questionable choices,

And that's all you and alex can see in me?

Luke, you know that's not true.

We just want what's best for you,

But you have to try.

Is that my niece?

Yes.

And we would love for you to meet her

When you clean yourself up.

You know, I bet she looks more like me than she does you.

Or, at least her and I share dna.

Wow.

I know you're hurting right now

And you don't mean the things you say.

But right now, you need help, not money.

Well, I guess I'm just gonna have to help myself then.

But you and alex might not like it.

Luke, what is that supposed to mean?

[ominous music]

[matilda cries]

Breaking news, grace hardy had us all fooled.

Not only did she lie about being pregnant,

We received word that the hardys used a surrogate

Who died giving birth.

[dramatic music]

Luke, what have you done?

Looks like the only thing

The hardys have been cooking up lately

Are unpalatable lies.

We never should've tried to fake the pregnancy.

You can't blame yourself.

The network, the sponsors,

Everyone thought it was a good idea.

[alex] except for grace.

How did this even happen?

Grace thinks it was luke.

You know, I hate to even suggest it,

But we need to postpone grace's return to the show.

No, that's not possible.

Grace can't handle any more bad news.

The renewal's in a matter of weeks.

The network is literally deciding the fate of the show.

I know, but-

I don't have to explain how bad the timing is with this.

Ratings are already slipping.

Why didn't you tell the truth?

Well, like you said, she can't handle any more bad news.

Listen, your statement's gone out,

You took responsibility,

Revealed that grace was dealing with a chronic illness.

All we can hope for is that the world

Shows a bit of sympathy.

And good luck with that.

Everything is going to be fine.

You'll see.

[mysterious music]

[stage lights flicker]

[upbeat music]

[crowd cheers]

Welcome!

Thank you so much! Wow.

Okay, ease up, whoa.

If you're excited and you're hungry, let's eat hardy!

Okay.

I'm your host, alex hardy.

Anyway, thank you...

[unnerving music]

Okay.

You can do this.

You can do this.

[matilda cries]

[grace chuckles]

You agree, do you?

You believe in mommy?

[eerie music]

Okay.

[car beeps]

There you are!

Hey! You are a liar and a fraud!

They should call you disgrace hardy.

I'm sorry I disappointed you.

Please, I just need to get inside.

No, not until you admit what you've done.

How does it feel that another woman died

Because you couldn't have a baby?

-[dramatic music] -you're a murderer.

Hey, hey, hey, hey, hey.

Back off.

Step aside, lady, this doesn't involve you.

Back up. Now.

She should be ashamed of herself!

You should be ashamed of yourself.

Look how you're treating a woman with a baby.

Whatever.

[tense music]

You okay?

Yes. Thank you.

I'm grace hardy.

Yes, I know.

I'm amelia andrews.

Have we met before? You seem familiar.

We haven't.

[tense music]

I'm here for the nanny position.

Oh, wonderful.

It's nice to meet you.

Pleasure's all mine.

-Come on inside. -Okay.

[molly] grace, what's wrong?

Oh, nothing. I just had an encounter with a fan.

What? Are you okay?

I'm fine, thanks to this lady here.

She saved me.

Oh, thank you.

I'm molly, the hardys personal assistant.

My little sister, who will soon be leaving us

In a few weeks.

Amelia andrews.

She's here for the nanny position.

Oh, you're an hour early.

Well, here I am.

You're not on my list.

I can show you the email confirmation from the agency.

Oh, no, no, it's fine.

What you did outside is all the confirmation I need.

It's fine, molly.

Okay.

[ominous music]

[grace] wait, you looked after seven boys?

[amelia] yes.

Well, it sounds like you have a lot of experience.

I do.

I like to treat the families that I work for...

Like they're my own.

That is comforting to know.

And do you have children?

A daughter.

[grace] oh, grandkids?

Uh, one, but I don't get to see her very often.

Oh. Maybe you can change that one day.

[ominous music]

Maybe.

Well, we should address the elephant in the room.

I'm sure you've seen the headlines.

I really don't follow the news that much.

Well, matilda was born using a surrogate.

Sadly, she died during birth.

But we are moving forward as best we can for matilda,

Even though it was a terrible tragedy.

Ah, it's a sensitive time.

There will be a lot of press around,

Is that something you're okay with?

As far as I'm concerned,

Your personal life is none of my business.

I'm just here to make your life easier

And take care of your darling baby.

Well, I'll be returning to the show next month,

So we'd need you to start right away.

We'd prefer a live-in nanny,

But we're open to other arrangements.

Moving in wouldn't be a problem.

In fact, I'd prefer it.

-Perfect. -[dramatic music]

We have a good feeling about you, amelia.

[dramatic music]

[eerie piano music]

[door creaks]

[door creaks]

[matilda cries]

Matilda!

Matilda!

[eerie music]

Matilda!

[grace bangs]

[grace gasps]

[mysterious music]

[doorbell rings]

Hi, amelia andrews. I'm the new nanny.

Oh. Come in.

[unnerving music]

Amelia!

Welcome.

[amelia] miss hardy.

Oh, please, call me grace.

This is sophia, our housekeeper.

She's here a few days a week.

Nice to meet you.

Sophia, would you mind taking amelia's things

To the guest room?

Of course.

Thank you.

Your home is beautiful.

Well, it's your home now too.

[grace chuckles]

Here we are.

Living room, dining room, the kitchen is through that way.

Wonderful.

Please treat the space as if it were your own.

We really want you to feel at home here.

That's very kind.

The entire house is on a smart home system,

So temperature, door locks, lighting,

It can all be controlled by our devices.

I'll set you up with yours later, get you the codes.

Full disclosure, there are cameras placed

Throughout the home

In case we need to keep an eye on things.

It all runs through our security app.

Don't worry, there's none in your room

Or anything like that,

It's just for my safety.

Your safety?

Yeah. I tend to black out and wander.

[grace chuckles]

Oh, my.

Nothing to worry about,

I just wouldn't wanna end up outside in my nightgown.

Of course.

Yeah, so all the interior doors

Are fitted with a locking system to keep me inside

When I'm out of it.

The code is 5-5-2-0.

[grace chuckles]

So, I think that's the house.

Would you like to meet matilda?

I'd love to.

Okay.

[grace chuckles]

She just woke up.

Hi.

[matilda coos]

[eerie toy box music]

[matilda babbles]

Amelia, this is matilda.

She's the most beautiful thing I've ever seen.

Yeah.

I could look at her all day.

-Would you like to hold her? -Yes, yes.

[matilda babbles]

Okay, okay, okay.

Okay.

Oh...

We're gonna make a new friend, okay?

Here we go.

-Hi. -[matilda babbles]

-Hi. -[matilda babbles]

Yes, I know.

[matilda babbles]

I know.

[both laughing]

She likes you.

[matilda babbles]

We're still working out a schedule,

But I usually take her in the morning.

I'm an early riser. I don't mind.

Oh, no, I like starting my day with her.

Of course. Of course.

[matilda babbles]

[cell phone buzzes]

Hi.

Oh.

Excuse me.

[unnerving music]

I'm gonna take good care of you.

[ominous music]

Hi, sweetie.

How's today?

You know, hectic, as usual.

How's everything with amelia?

So far, so good.

What's wrong?

We lost our sponsor.

Because of the scandal.

[grace sighs]

What can I do?

Well, there is some good news,

The network's found a replacement.

Davey organics.

Absolutely not.

They were caught using dangerous chemicals.

No, no, we spoke with them.

They swear everything is by the book.

And they seem sincere.

No, we need to stick with companies that we believe in.

Sweetheart, they're the only ones that called us back.

Without this sponsorship, we might lose the show.

I don't like this.

Well, the network's really pushing for this,

So, think about it?

[grace sighs]

[unnerving music]

Amelia.

[unnerving music continues]

Amelia?

Amelia?

Amelia?

What's wrong?

Have you seen amelia and matilda?

No.

There's something you should know.

Oh my god.

[dramatic music]

Amelia!

Amelia!

Is everything all right?

Yes.

Yes, I just...

I didn't know where you were, and I started to worry.

Oh, I just thought matilda and I

Would take a tour of the gardens.

Just beautiful.

Is that okay?

Yes.

I just need to get used to not knowing

Where she is all the time.

Okay.

Come here.

Okay.

[grace chuckles]

Got a little worried.

[ominous music]

[mysterious music]

[knocking]

Come in.

Where would you like these?

Oh, the bed is fine.

Wait.

The hardys, do you enjoy working for them?

For the most part.

Did you know the surrogate, beth?

I barely knew her.

[mysterious music]

You should put the towels away.

Thank you.

[mysterious music]

[tense music]

[unnerving music]

[amelia gasps]

Beth.

-[amelia sobs] -[dramatic music]

[matilda cries]

Is everything okay?

I've tried everything, but she just won't settle.

May I?

-Okay. -Yeah.

Come on.

I got you.

There we go.

-Oh. -There we go.

[grace chuckles]

I don't know how you did that.

You can finish dinner, I've got her.

Are you sure?

Of course. That's why I'm here.

Okay, okay.

[tense music]

Please have a message after the tone.

Sophia, it's amelia.

I'll be late.

Please wait for me.

[ominous music]

[unnerving music]

Where is she?

[ominous music]

[sophia yells]

I didn't say it!

[ominous music]

[cell phone rings]

[eerie music]

Where were you?

Oh, grace, you startled me.

I don't appreciate you coming and going

At such late hours.

There are rules that need to be abided by.

I'm sorry, I didn't realize.

You're carrying my child, beth.

I need to know where you are at all times.

Grace.

It's me, amelia.

Well...

Don't talk to me.

Don't talk to me in that tone!

Don't talk to me in that tone!

Don't!

Grace, grace.

Grace, grace!

-[grace yells] -grace!

Grace, wake up.

It's okay.

Oh my...

[knife clangs]

Oh my god.

I'm so sorry.

Okay...

Let's get you back to bed.

[grace] okay.

[unnerving music]

[amelia] good morning.

Morning.

Molly dropped off coffee.

Please help yourself.

Amelia, I'm sorry about last night.

I haven't had an episode like that in quite a while.

I must have given you quite a fright.

Don't worry about it.

As long as you're okay.

Would you do me a favor?

Of course.

Would you not mention this to alex?

I'm fine, really.

I just forgot to take my medication yesterday.

I'll think nothing of it.

Can I ask you something?

Sure.

Last night, you called me beth.

Ah.

Our surrogate.

She lived with us.

Were you two close?

Yes.

She was my friend.

If you don't mind me asking, what happened?

She went into labor at the house,

And she didn't get to the hospital in time.

Were you with her when she had matilda?

I feel horrible about it.

Like it's all my fault.

Why would you blame yourself?

I wasn't feeling well, and I took a sleeping pill.

I slept through the whole thing.

[ominous music]

[door creaks]

[ominous music]

Wait, wait, wait!

Wait.

It's all right.

It's my younger brother, luke.

Oh.

What the hell are you doing?

I just wanted to visit my niece.

Chill.

Yeah, well, matilda and grace aren't home,

And you better not be here when they get back.

I am so sorry.

I heard the door, and I just assumed he was an intruder.

[alex] hey, this isn't funny.

Who are you?

Amelia is our nanny.

How many times have I told you, I can watch matilda?

I'm her uncle, but instead,

You go ahead and hire a complete stranger.

Listen, would you mind giving us a minute?

Mhm.

[eerie music]

[alex] you swore you wouldn't let yourself in again.

[luke] I can't stop by to see my family?

Well, come on.

You only show up when you need something, so, what is it?

I need a place to stay.

Well, you're not staying here.

[luke] come on, you got plenty of room.

Okay, that's not the issue, and you know it.

I have nowhere else to go.

Oh my god.

For a hotel.

You can't keep doing this, you understand?

You know, there used to be a time

When your family came first.

Yeah, well, there used to be a time I could trust you.

Who says you can't?

Come on, you don't think we know

You sold our story to the press?

How many times I gotta tell you, I didn't do that.

Hey, look, you have some money,

You got what you came for, just go.

What about the nanny?

You ask her if she leaked the story?

Maybe she's a psycho fan or something.

She came from an agency.

Something about her seems off.

Okay, she's been great.

Matilda loves her.

I can't believe you trust a complete stranger

More than me.

Look, work on getting yourself together,

And then maybe, maybe things can be different.

Yeah.

[dramatic music]

Wait, luke.

Luke, luke, luke.

I am sorry I almost attacked you.

Don't worry about it.

Let me make it up to you.

I hate to see the tension between you and your brother.

I bet you do.

Why don't you give me your number,

And maybe I can help.

Why would you do that?

If they find out, you'll be lucky

If all they do is fire you.

It's my job to take care of the family,

And I just want what's best for them,

So maybe I can help smooth things over.

[tense music]

Great.

I'll call you soon.

It's your funeral.

[tense music]

Okay, and that is how you make

A quick, nutritious breakfast when your hands are full.

Let me know what you think in the comments if you make it,

And what you wanna see matilda and I make next.

Okay?

All done.

There we go.

All right.

Good job.

Good job, baby girl.

Okay.

-Morning. -Okay.

Morning.

Good morning.

Grace, why don't you...

Hi. Good morning.

Why don't you let amelia give matilda her bottle.

Oh, no, no. I can do it in a second.

I don't mind. I'd love to.

Sure.

Okay, yeah.

I'll be done real quick.

What was I doing?

Is this...

[dramatic music]

I think I just...

Whoa, honey, honey, honey.

Are you okay?

I'm fine.

Okay, look, maybe you should take a break.

I'm fine, really.

I just...

I was up early, and I think I just need to lie down.

-You sure? -Yeah.

Yeah, I'm fine.

Okay.

Okay, I'm just gonna lie down.

Bye-bye.

[matilda babbles]

I thought she was getting better.

Yeah, so did I.

She's had every test under the sun.

They think it's anxiety, keep changing her meds,

It never seems to help.

It must be hard on you.

Well, if you'll excuse me,

I need to give her this before I go to the studio.

Say bye.

"bye."

That's a girl.

[ominous music]

[door creaks]

[dramatic music]

[mysterious music]

[tense music]

[grace breathes heavily]

[pills rattling]

[banging]

[tense music]

[device beeps]

[mysterious toy box music]

[device beeps]

What are you doing?

Oh, grace.

Matilda was napping,

And I just came to find the baby monitor.

I thought this might be it.

This is what you're looking for.

Oh.

[amelia laughs]

These gadgets, they all seem the same.

Amelia, we need to talk.

Okay.

Is everything all right?

No.

No, it isn't.

You can stop pretending.

I can explain.

I know.

Okay?

I know that luke was here last night,

And I'm sure that alex asked you not to say anything to me,

But you and I, we need to be honest with each other,

Or this isn't gonna work.

Of course.

I didn't wanna interfere,

I know how complicated families can be.

The only thing you need to know about luke

Is he has never been right.

I understand, and it'll never happen again.

I don't want him near matilda.

Neither do I.

Okay.

Thanks.

[cell phone buzzes]

Luke's phone.

Luke, hi, it's amelia.

Listen, I tried to talk to grace,

But she just can't get over the fact

That you leaked the surrogacy.

I told alex, I didn't do it.

[amelia] they think you did.

They blame me for everything.

When are they home?

Um, tomorrow morning.

You should come by and talk to them.

I'll be there.

[melancholic music]

Alex, I really don't wanna promote davey organics.

It was this, or lose the show.

I know, I'm just not happy

That we were put in this position.

Yeah, me neither.

Look, I promise I'll think of a way to fix it.

Okay?

The live stream's about to start.

Grace, alex, you got everything you need?

We're set.

Okay.

[ominous music]

And action!

So, today we're gonna be showing you

How to make some of our freshest recipes

With davey organics.

All of these recipes are great for any outdoor occasion.

Yeah, this watermelon salad is perfect

With their classic vinaigrette.

Oh, look at that gorgeous consistency.

All this for me?

You shouldn't have.

You know, it's a family show, ladies and gentlemen,

Welcome my brother, luke.

Luke, I know you're eager to try this,

But it's not quite ready yet,

Maybe come back later.

But I just got here.

That's awful.

Well, eggplant usually tastes better cooked.

In fact, it's delicious when grilled.

You might want to try that at home.

You know what, we're gonna take a short break,

And we'll be right back.

Okay.

What do you think you're doing?

I just wanted to talk.

[alex] we're right in the middle of a show.

Okay? We're working.

Some people work, some people have responsibilities.

Some people, meaning not me.

Well, look at your life.

Listen, I didn't leak anything about your surrogate.

Look, this is not the time or the place.

Right, because how can I forget,

The whole world revolves around you.

Luke, luke.

We will talk about this.

Okay? I promise.

Besides, if I wanted to rat on you,

I have far more interesting things to tell.

[grace] what's he talking about?

Come here.

[tense music]

We've had enough of this.

Why is it so hard for you to believe me?

Because you lie! All the time!

You know, I've had enough of these games, luke.

I want you out of here, and don't come back.

Careful, alex,

I know where all your skeletons are buried.

And who's gonna believe you?

That's fine.

Sorry.

[grace] what is he talking about?

No!

Alex, we need to talk about luke.

[tense music]

He's family.

He's a liability.

[tense music]

[doorbell rings]

Detective bryant with the fifth precinct.

Can I speak to the hardys?

They're not home, but I expect them back any time.

[bryant] and you are?

The nanny, amelia.

May I ask you a few questions?

Sure.

Come on in.

Have a seat.

I didn't catch your last name.

Andrews.

Is everything okay?

I'm afraid not, miss andrews.

Do you know sophia martin?

Yes, she's the housekeeper, but she's not here today.

I know.

I'm sorry to tell you this, but she's dead.

Oh my god.

What happened?

Her body was found in her car,

Near the hidden falls overlook.

We suspect foul play.

She was murdered?

Our investigation is early,

But the scene was staged to look like an accident.

Oh, I can't believe this.

How well did you know ms. Martin?

Not well.

We never really spoke.

Interesting.

We were pleasant, but that was it.

If you weren't close,

Could you please tell me why you called ms. Martin

A dozen times the other night, around 8:15?

Um...

I was looking for the baby's favorite lion toy.

She can't settle without it.

It's missing.

And I figured sophia knew where it was.

I guess I was a little excessive with my calls.

I see.

When did you last see ms. Martin?

Ms. Andrews?

[grace] hi, we're home.

Okay, what do we have here?

[grace and alex chattering]

Better sit down.

Alex hardy.

-This is my wife, grace. -Hi.

Detective bryant.

I'm investigating your housekeeper's murder.

Sophia?

What happened?

We're still trying to figure that out.

There have been a series of crimes in the area,

Could be connected to that.

When did you last see her?

We just saw her the other day.

Do you know of anyone that would wanna hurt her?

Not at all.

No, not at all.

-[grace sobs] -hey, hey, hey.

You okay?

[grace] yeah.

Yeah.

-You all right? -Mhm.

I'll let you know if I have any other questions.

If you think of anything that might help the investigation,

Give me a call.

Yeah, of course.

[tense music]

Is that what you were looking for?

Yes.

There it is.

I'll show myself out.

[tense music]

[grace] alex, sometimes it feels like we're cursed.

I know.

Why is this happening?

Why?

Why would anyone want to hurt...

So, what was so urgent?

Their housekeeper was murdered.

She was going to tell me something about beth,

And we had made plans to meet,

And now she's dead.

And you think the hardys had something to do with it?

Can't be a coincidence.

They're celebrity chefs, not contract killers.

Bad things keep happening around them.

We need to get matilda out of there.

These people are unfit to have matilda,

And I can prove it.

Okay, what do you have?

The husband.

His younger brother is a drug addict,

And breaks into the house.

He's dangerous and unpredictable.

Right, but we need to prove that the hardys are unfit,

Not the people in their circle.

The wife.

She's addicted to pills.

She's dependent on them.

She walks around tranquilized half the time.

And?

And I caught her sleepwalking the other night.

You caught her? What do you mean you caught her?

I'll explain later,

But she was completely delirious

And waving a knife around, for christ's sake.

Well, that could be something.

We could have enough to argue

Reckless endangerment of a child.

Now, have you found any proof that beth

Intended to keep the baby?

Not yet. I'm having her phone unlocked.

But if there's proof on it, I'll find it.

[tense music]

[alex] you've reached alex.

Leave a message.

Oh, come on.

-[tense music] -[knocking]

Thanks for coming by.

I wasn't expecting any company.

Sorry about the mess.

[ominous music]

What?

Alex?

What?

Alex!

It's hurting! Stop!

Please, alex!

[ominous music]

Hi, amelia.

Where are the girls?

Matilda's taking a nap, and grace is taking a bath.

Do you need her?

No. I just dropped by to say hi.

[amelia] care to join me?

Ooh.

Thanks.

[wine splashes]

Can I ask you something?

Sure.

What exactly happened with the surrogate.

Beth, was it?

[molly sighs]

Yeah. Alex and grace don't like talking about it.

From what I gather,

She went into sudden labor here in the house.

There were complications.

Alex was with her the entire time.

[ominous music]

Where was grace?

Slept through the whole thing.

You know, grace was destroyed

When she learned she couldn't conceive.

She went into a deep depression,

And I didn't think she'd make it through.

What changed?

She and alex started looking for a surrogate,

And naturally, I was the first to volunteer,

But that turned into a whole other thing.

Oh.

It's a rare gene that runs in our family,

And makes it near impossible to get pregnant.

Oh, molly, I'm sorry.

Well, nowadays, there are a lot of ways to have a family.

Of course, and I'm sure you'll have a beautiful one.

Beth really did save grace.

Not only did she give her matilda, but she was our friend.

And she had no problem just handing the baby over?

Beth wanted grace to be matilda's mother.

-[cell phone beeps] -oh, sorry.

What's up?

[molly laughs]

That's incredible!

No, I have to tell grace.

Okay, okay.

Tell me what?

Uh, "eat hardy" was just nominated for a daytime award.

[amelia] what?

[amelia laughs]

Oh, that's amazing.

Oh, alex deserves this.

What are you talking about?

This is your award too.

You know what? We should throw a party.

This weekend, we can invite all the crew.

Sure.

Why not?

-[molly squeals] -[grace laughs]

Oh!

Congratulations!

-Yay. -Cheers.

[melancholic music]

[woman] you've reached the law offices of david taylor.

Please leave a message.

[phone beeps]

David, it's amelia.

Listen, I'm seriously thinking about

Dropping the custody case.

Call me when you get this, thanks.

[lighthearted piano music]

[upbeat mellow music]

[people chattering]

You look amazing.

So do you.

Is everything okay?

I'm just so proud of you.

Alex and I, we couldn't have done this without you.

You know that, right?

I'm really going to miss you.

Me too.

Boston feels so far away.

It's all right, I get to build something of my own.

Yeah.

I know things haven't always been easy for you,

But think of everything you've accomplished.

You...

You are going to be great.

[molly chuckles]

I plan to be.

And I couldn't have done any of this without you.

Oh!

[lighthearted music]

[knocking]

Hi.

I just wanted to kiss her goodnight.

[amelia] she just fell asleep.

Oh.

Hi, baby girl.

Oh, I have the cutest video to show you of matilda.

Oh! She's so precious!

Oh...

Um, listen.

I need to talk to you and alex about something.

Oh, okay.

Is it important?

Should I get him right now?

No, no, no, no.

It can wait until tomorrow.

You go enjoy your party.

I'll keep an eye on this one.

Okay.

[amelia chuckles]

[doorbell rings]

I put a note on the door

Telling the guests not to ring that.

I'll be back.

[amelia chuckles]

Are you grace hardy?

Yes, I am she.

You've been served.

What the...

What's this?

Beth's mother is petitioning us for custody of matilda.

She cites careless neglect, endangerment.

What the hell is going on?

Look.

[glass clangs]

[alex] if I can have everybody's attention, please.

-[ominous music] -[device beeps]

[beth groans]

Oh my god.

[beth screams]

I'd like to thank everyone for coming tonight

To celebrate our tremendous nomination.

And we couldn't have done it without you,

Everyone here tonight.

I certainly couldn't have done any of this

Without my beautiful wife, grace hardy.

[people clapping]

Let's hear it for her, ladies and gentlemen.

Please.

There's truly nothing I wouldn't do for you, grace.

I love you so much.

I am just so proud.

It was you.

[ominous music]

You killed my daughter.

[ominous music]

You killed my daughter.

[alex chuckles]

Wow.

What are you talking about?

Beth davis.

[ominous music]

You're beth's mother?

Molly, call the police.

I've already done that.

You're a murderer.

Come on.

Come on, this is ridiculous.

Admit it.

Admit it.

What is she talking about?

I have no idea.

[tense music]

I know you've been poisoning grace

To keep her off the show.

You're tired.

You don't know what you're saying.

You're confused.

You get away from me.

I do what's best for my family.

[tense music]

[beth groans]

Alex, please call 9-1-1, the baby's coming.

[ominous music]

I don't think so.

[ominous music]

[grace] you killed beth?

No, no, grace.

She was gonna ruin us.

You've been making me sick?

Eat hardy is my show, grace.

It's always been my show.

It was my idea in the first place.

So you poisoned me?

No, no, no.

It was just a little extra anxiety medication,

It wasn't gonna kill you.

And that justifies what you did?

I was tired of you trying to control...

-[glass shatters] -everything!

Look around, grace.

I built this.

The show is nothing without me!

Who cares about the show, alex?

You killed beth.

Sophia knew.

Didn't she?

Alex...

Well, she was trying to blackmail me.

She was gonna harm our family.

Okay? I had no choice.

If sophia and luke had just stayed out my way.

What did you do to luke?

-What did you do? -[radio chatter]

[amelia sighs]

Don't touch me.

It's over, alex.

-[tense music] -[grace sobs]

Molly.

All this time we trusted you.

And you're a murderer!

[tense music]

[crowd exclaims]

[grace yelps]

Alex.

[tense music]

-[gun fires] -[crowd gasps]

[water splashes]

[dramatic music]

Call a medic.

Grace.

How dare you.

I'm sorry.

I'm sorry I lied to you.

I was trying to tell you the truth sooner,

But I never got the chance.

I just needed to find out what happened to beth.

Well, if you think for one second

That that excuses you from invading my home,

And endangering my child,

Then you are in for a rude awakening.

Matilda is all I have.

You know how much I love her.

It's over!

Do you hear me?

You will never see her again.

I will make damn sure of it.

No.

I know I was wrong.

Beth never intended to keep the baby,

She wanted you to be matilda's mother.

I just hope that I can still be in her life.

Get the hell of my house.

[amelia sobs]

[phone rings]

[david] it's david.

I just received a copy of a restraining order

From the hardys' attorney.

What the hell is going on here?

They're saying you impersonated a nanny.

These allegations are very serious.

You need to call me as soon as you get this.

[melancholic music]

Hi, baby girl.

You just kicked me for the first time.

Oh, grace, grace.

Come here, feel this.

[grace] what are you doing?

[beth] I'm making a video diary

For you to show matilda one day.

I felt her little foot.

That's your little girl in there.

And she seems like a strong one too.

[grace and beth laughing]

Aw, hi, baby.

[melancholic music]

Hi, baby girl. You are going nuts right now.

I'm pretty sure you're doing somersaults in there.

I think you want ice cream.

And what baby girl wants, baby girl gets.

It's empty.

Good thing I know where your parents hide the secret stash.

Follow me.

[melancholic music]

Now, come on, that's not fair.

I can't right now.

But you know I would if I could.

I mean it.

I'll leave grace after the baby comes.

Yeah, I promise.

The timing has to be right.

I've been more than patient, alex.

You told me we were gonna be a family.

You, me and matilda.

And how will that look for ratings?

Now, we built this whole sympathy storyline

Around grace's pregnancy,

And I can't just leave my wife for her sister.

Things would be so much simpler

If grace wasn't in the picture.

[tense music]

You know, it wouldn't be that hard,

To make it look like an accident or suicide.

Poisoning her to keep her off the show is one thing.

Killing her is quite another.

She deserves it.

She's your sister.

She's horrible.

She made me give up my baby.

I was 15.

I had no idea I wouldn't be able to have another child.

That baby was a miracle, and she took it from me.

But you do have another baby, molly,

And we're gonna be a family.

[dramatic music]

[spoon clangs]

[molly] oh my god.

[beth] I'm so sorry,

I didn't realize everyone was awake.

Oh my god.

Grace!

[tense music]

Come on.

[phone rings]

Come on, come on.

Pick up, pick up, pick up, pick up.

[grace] hi, you've reached grace.

Oh, damn it!

[mysterious piano music]

[matilda coos]

[ominous music]

Detective bryant?

It's molly miller, grace's sister.

I'm sorry.

Grace won't be able to make it into the station today.

She's in a very vulnerable state.

I shouldn't say this,

But she has a history of hurting herself.

I'm really scared.

I don't know what she might try and do.

Yes, of course.

I'll keep a close watch on her.

[ominous music]

There you are.

How'd you sleep?

I didn't.

I tried calling.

My phone's off.

I brought some things.

I'm gonna stay here as long as you and matilda need me.

Molly, you need to go to boston.

I'm not gonna get in the way of your life.

Your life is falling apart.

I'm scared to leave you alone.

I've never hurt myself before.

I'm not about to start now.

I got you a latte.

I'll go get it.

[ominous music]

[grace sighs]

[mysterious music]

Grace?

Grace?

[door thuds]

[mysterious music]

[tense music]

[molly hums]

[object thuds]

Molly?

-[objects clanging] -oh.

[ominous music]

Everything okay?

I heard a noise.

Uh, fine.

Fine. Everything's fine.

I forgot the monitor.

Oh, let me take care of it.

Why don't you get some fresh air?

Okay.

[ominous music]

Just have your coffee and, and try to relax.

[ominous music]

[spoon clangs]

Well, if you'll excuse me,

I need to give her this before I go to the studio.

That's for you.

Oh, molly dropped off...

[ominous music]

What's on your mind?

Why do you have plane tickets for you and matilda?

A surprise for you, from alex.

He was going to take you away for a few days,

And I was going to watch matilda.

In boston?

Yeah, it was a dumb idea.

I told alex it was crazy.

But with everything that happened,

Who knows what he had planned.

Why do I feel like there's something

You're not telling me?

For heaven's sake, grace.

What are you implying?

I don't know.

I don't know.

Okay?

Everyone I trust has been lying to me and betraying me,

And I don't know what's real anymore.

Hey.

I can't imagine the hurt

That you're going through right now,

But it's me.

I'm here for you.

Remember that.

I'm sorry.

I'm just so afraid of what comes next.

[tense music]

We're not going to lose matilda.

But is keeping matilda from her grandmother

The right decision?

Well, I am done listening to everyone else.

It just gets me in trouble.

I am calling the lawyers,

And I am telling them to drop the restraining order

Against amelia.

Look.

We don't have to talk about this right now.

Coffee always helps you think.

[tense music]

Grace!

Amelia!

[tense music]

Amelia!

Don't drink the coffee, grace.

It's poison.

Molly tried to kill me.

She broke in.

What is going on?

Molly and alex are having an affair.

She's going to kill you and take matilda.

No.

She's dangerous, grace.

She's my sister. She would never hurt me.

She blames you for giving up her baby.

Molly?

You don't seriously believe her.

She's trying to turn us against each other

So she can take matilda.

She's clearly insane.

I found proof on beth's phone.

Don't listen to her.

Grace, she posed as a nanny, she's crazy.

Things would be so much simpler

If grace wasn't in the picture.

You don't understand.

You know, it wouldn't be that hard

To make it look like an accident or suicide.

It's not what it looks like.

Really?

Because it looks like you're screwing my husband

And planning to kill me.

No, alex and I, it just happened.

We didn't mean to hurt you.

You were there that night.

You killed beth.

[tense music]

[beth] I'm so sorry, I didn't realize anyone was awake.

[device beeps]

[beth groans]

Alex?

Please call 9-1-1, the baby's coming.

[beth groans]

[alex] I don't think so.

[amelia] I've called the cops.

They won't make it in time.

-Molly! -[dramatic music]

This is all your fault.

You and your stupid daughter.

[amelia grunts]

Amelia!

What is the matter with you?

I did what I needed to do.

All these years, you never took into consideration

What I want!

All I ever did was look out for you.

Well, it's my turn to be happy.

You are not getting near matilda.

You're not gonna ruin my chance of being a mother.

Not again!

Molly, I wasn't gonna sit by

And watch you throw your life away!

And what kinda life is it

If I can't even have the one thing I really want?

You were 15.

You didn't even know who the father was.

It should've been my choice to make!

You tricked me into it!

No, I gave you your choices.

You chose, the baby went to a good family.

You should've stopped me, grace.

[molly sobs]

You're never gonna get away with this.

Yes, I will.

They're gonna think amelia did it.

Put it down, molly.

And with you gone,

I have no reason to leave the city anymore.

I'll get custody of matilda, your house, your savings,

Hell, I might even learn how to cook,

And I'll take your show.

You are not taking matilda from me.

[tense music]

[suspenseful music]

[amelia grunts]

[grace grunts]

[grace chokes]

[amelia grunts]

Yeah, I'm okay.

-[siren beeps] -[radio chatter]

I hope you realize, I didn't know about any of it.

I don't know if that makes me ignorant or just stupid.

Neither.

They're both good liars.

Sorry we didn't get here sooner.

Oh, well, we managed.

You two good?

All good, detective.

Thank you.

Grace.

I'm sorry that I lied to you too.

You have to understand,

I was so heartbroken about beth,

And I just wanted to be near matilda.

I understand.

Beth stopped talking to me because I lied to her.

I lied to her once,

And everything I did became questionable.

I don't want that with us.

Then let's make sure that doesn't happen.

Oh.

-You're the cutest. -[grace chuckles]

[lighthearted music]

[upbeat music]

[audience cheers]

Good afternoon, everyone.

Welcome to cooking gracefully.

Who out there likes making delicious,

Nutritious meals for their family?

-Huh? -[audience claps]

Me too.

Mama.

Yes, mama does!

Mama does.

Isn't it fun to watch mommy?

Isn't it fun to watch mommy?

[matilda babbles]

Yeah, yeah!

And I couldn't be happier to make today's menu

For my family.

Matilda and amelia.

[audience claps]

There we go.

Oh, I'm gonna get ya!

[grace laughs]

Yes.

That's a girl.

Hey, now let's get cooking!

Mommy!

-Yes! -Yes, that's right.

Aw.

[dramatic piano music]
