Big smiles!

Okay!

- Got it! Looking good!
- So good.

Grab a seat. Grab a seat.

Well, look at all these
gorgeous princesses and prince

here to celebrate Ivy's special day!

Princesses have costumes.

She didn't wear a costume.

Doesn't matter. A kind heart
is what makes a princess.

Not a dress.

How come your waist isn't tiny

like the Sleeping Beauty from the movie?

Because I'm not a cartoon!

I'm a real-life human and
thank goodness for that.

Could you imagine sleeping for
a hundred years in real life?

Uh...

I'll...

be back... just... just...

Just in a minute. Okay?

Is it just me or is...

Sleeping Beauty slurring?

♪ That was the best dance I ever had ♪

♪ They played Brown Eyed
Girl and you said that ♪

So if you've got a little
fairytale fan on your hands...

princess parties are
entirely enchanting.

You're always hustling,
aren't you, Otto?

Well some of us have
to work for our money.

- Mmm.
- I'm gonna go make sure Sleeping Beauty

didn't fall in the toilet!

Hey, Melina. Just give her a sec, okay?

Hey, sweetie.

Sophie, why don't you go back in there

- and play with the other kids, okay?
- Okay.

Alright. Go on.

Stacey!

Somebody!

Help us!

I'm Detective Charlie Hudson.

This is my partner, Rex.

Thank God you're here. The kids...

they don't know what happened yet.

She was playing Sleeping Beauty.

So I just told them that she's sleeping.

And he's trying to distract them

but I just don't know how
long it's gonna hold. You know?

Is he Prince Charming coming to
kiss Sleeping Beauty awake now?

Oh...

Yeah, sweetie.

I'm guessing no kiss

is gonna bring this
princess back to life.

Blunt force trauma to the head.

We found handprints on the railing

dragging back, likely Stacey's.

The placement of the body...

I'd be very surprised
if it was a natural fall.

So she was pushed.

- Mmmm.
- Any witnesses?

No one saw or heard anything
thanks to the Frozen soundtrack

playing in surround sound.

And it's hard to get
a read on the bruising

given all the heavy stage
makeup and princess poof.

- Is this her purse?
- Yeah.

Okay, buddy. What have you got?

Huh.

Let's see. Last text
that she sent, all caps.

I'M NOT DOING THIS ANYMORE.

Then the response...

RIP Princess. That's 11:05 AM.

From Boo.

Yeah but the host said that that
was an hour before Stacey arrived.

Will you get this to Jesse?
I need to know who Boo is.

- Thanks, Sarah.
- Yeah.

- This is your house, ma'am?
- Yes.

- I can't believe she's just gone!
- I know. I know. Otto, I'm sorry.

It doesn't even seem real. Right?

And those kids. I mean...

This was supposed to
be Ivy's special day!

The best day of her life!

You can't make up for
being a lousy mother

364 days of the year with pink
icing and princess hats, Melina.

- Really?
- Oh, that's a lot coming from you, Ron.

Mister I'm-on-an-important
businesstrip.

Here-Ivy. It's-a-stuffie-
I-obviously-bought-

from-the-casino-gift-shop!

Are you falling for
Melina's-damsel-in-distress act, Otto?

What have you got, pal?

We can't all peddle

fake herbal garbage...

Ron this is why I didn't
want you here today!

If I let you call the shots

- I wouldn't be here for Ivy!
- People!

Grow the hell up!

Hey! Police officer here. Remember?

And the big dog?

Thank you.

A woman might have been
murdered here. So let's...

try and find out what happened, okay?

Her name was Stacey.

What else do we know about her?

She worked at a company
called Princess for Hire.

Okay, well, the kids
are with the neighbours.

Okay, so is this everybody now?

- Yes?
- Yeah.

Thank you for your
patience. I need to talk

to everybody who was in the house. And,

I'm gonna need phones on the table.

Sir?

Cell phones on the table.

- Unlock them, please.
- You can't take our phones.

I'm not taking them. I'm borrowing them.

Photos and videos will help us
piece together Stacey's last moments.

And everybody here I'm sure
wants to know what happened.

Great.

So, I'm gonna need to know

who was in the house today,

- where they were and when.
- Well, it'll be a short list.

We were all pretty much here.

Yes, except for Ron. Ron wasn't here.

I was in the bathroom.
And getting a reprieve

from your grating voice.

I wasn't here.

- Why was that?
- My daughter's costume was still in the dryer.

- I arrived late.
- Hmm.

I don't suppose any of
you saw or heard anything?

Well, when I was walking over,

I saw a van on the street.

Anything else?

If no one is gonna say anything,
I guess I have to. I mean...

Guys, she was high.

She was probably
upstairs, getting higher.

- Stacey was high?
- Oh no no, baby.

She was your Highness.

She was Your Highness because
she was a princess, right?

Your daughter Sophie,

she called Sleeping Beauty Stacey.

Yeah, Stacey babysat for us sometimes.

- Oh.
- Having a princess babysit

might seem a bit much
but it's fun for the kids.

Stacey would play princess
with her for hours.

I'm not very good at
playing make-believe.

Since her mother died
she practically lives

- in a fairytale world.
- Yeah, I'm the struggling stepmom.

- Ah.
- Role-playing can be exhausting.

And Sophie is constantly in character.

Even today while the other kids
were playing and having fun,

she got upset because she
thought she heard the evil queen.

Really?

Sophie?

Hi, Sophie.

Could I talk to you for a minute?

You said you saw the
evil queen here today?

But you heard her?

Where?

Get a shot of this?

- Huh.
- Sophie was right. Fresh print.

I'll make a plaster cast of the shoe.

Because if the shoe fits...

- Cinderella.
- Oh boy.

What? You have never
seen a fairytale before?

Yes, I have. Except I find
them all insufferably sexist.

Huh. Well, they offer
a historical context!

What are you up to, pal?

Huh.

Okay, I see it, yeah.

Oh.

Oh!

A piece of broken eaves trough.

Uh, we're gonna need this
home security footage.

Okay. Sure!

And then can we have our phones back?

Your phones are on
the way to the station.

- You'll have them soon enough.
- Ah.

- Okay.
- You mind if I grab a ride with you?

Oh yeah. As long as you don't
mind going past my house.

I forgot Rex's sweet potato jerky.

He hates the veggie crisps at work.

Your new place is really incredible!

- There's so much light!
- Yeah, not too bad, right?

Oh, hey. Text from Jesse.

He just sent a file with the
stitched-together video footage.

Oh. Should I make popcorn?

Wow, kids, they really
have a certain pitch.

Yeah, they do make a lot of noise.

Yeah, I guess they're alright.

Oh.

Good timing, Jesse. We were
just admiring your handiwork.

Oh, well I hope you go something

because security came up donuts.

The camera angles
never caught our killer

coming down from the window.

But good news is: I know who Boo is.

The person who texted RIP princess?

Yeah. Rick Dobran.

He's the owner of Princess for Hire.

He was a failed actor before
he started the business.

A bit of a piece of work. But,

apparently Rick and
Stacey were a couple.

That's music to my ears.

Yeah, one problem, Charlie. We
don't have him at the crime scene.

Wait.

Elaine said that she saw a
suspicious van on the road.

The security cam caught
the van out front.

Can you run the plates?

Looks like it's not necessary.
Because guess who it is?

Actually, let's do it on the
count of three. You ready?

One, two, three.

- Rick Dobran...
- Rick Dobran baby.

Alright, you guys ready to go see

what a real big bad wolf looks like?

It's just a figure of speech, Rex.

Hey, smile! Kids don't
like a sullen princess!

Rick Dobran?

Detective Hudson.

You mind telling me what you were doing

at 11 Washington Drive this morning?

That's easy.

One of my employees
forgot the party supplies.

I delivered them to the location.

And this employee was Stacey Nielsen?

- I don't remember.
- Oh.

You don't remember?

That sounds pretty silly, Rick,

considering she's your
employee and your girlfriend.

You texted her this
morning, RIP, Princess.

- You remember that?
- Yeah, okay. So,

- what, she called the cops on me?
- No.

She was murdered.

You're lying.

- Come on, we're gonna go down to the...
- What are you saying that for?

Rick, we're gonna need to
take a look in your van.

Not without a warrant, you
won't. I know my rights.

Rex is a detection dog.

His alerts establish
reasonable suspicion to search.

- So consider him...
- My warrant.

So are you gonna open this or am I?

Suit yourself.

Alright, partner.

What do we have here?

Goody bags? For the kids party favours?

You know, Rex alerted me to one
of these earlier at the house.

Oh. Looks like diazepam aka Valium.

You picked up on the residue, huh pal?

Yeah, it looks like you're dealing
in more than just princesses.

Rex!

Uhh!

Ughh!

Rick Dobran. You are under arrest

for drug trafficking

and under suspicion for the
murder of Stacey Nielsen.

Good job, partner.

You got anything to say yet?

Yeah.

Your dog ruined my favourite pants.

We have you at the scene of the crime

an hour after sending
Stacey a death threat.

Care to weigh in?

Oh my...

Look, I get it.

Girlfriend breaks up with you.

Things are said that shouldn't be said.

You go to the house. You wanna
sort things out, but she's high.

And things get out of
hand. Am I getting warm?

You're in the Arctic freeze.

Stacey never broke up with me.

We were... good.

Then why did she text you that
"I don't want to do this anymore?"

What did she not want to do anymore?

Deal.

She didn't want anything to
do with the drugs anymore.

And so you threatened her life.

- No!
- RIP, Princess?

RIP, her princess gigs.

Look, I was just warning her.

These women would stop hiring
her if she stopped dealing.

Wait, are you telling me, that
all your Princess for Hire clients

were buying prescription drugs from you?

Most of them, yeah.

I don't think not having a job is
as fun as people think it will be.

Gives them too much time to feel
guilty for having all that money.

And pill popping is more
acceptable than getting day drunk.

Then why aren't they getting their
prescriptions from their doctors?

It's not that easy. They don't
just hand them out like candy.

Not like they used to.
Too many malpractice suits.

Okay. There's got to be
an easier ways to score

than throwing a princess party

or paying $65 an hour for
an overqualified babysitter.

Look, my clients are parents.

Pillars of the community.

Kids entertainment is about
as good of a cover as it gets.

Why were you at the house?

That Melina woman called me pissed.

She didn't get her
mama's little helpers.

A public customer
complaint from a Karen,

that could kill my business
overnight. Trust me.

So...

I drove the Valium over to
Melina's princess party myself.

Nice boots.

Take them off.

Come on.

Okay, pal. Hold.

Okay, give.

Ah, you're getting the
hang of this, partner.

I'm sorry. The shoe
doesn't match the print.

So Rick is not the owner
of our glass slipper.

- Ughh.
- I dug into Stacey's financials

and she put 65K down
on a condo last week.

The deposit was registered
to a numbered company.

- That old chestnut.
- Yeah.

Smells of drug money.

Rick said that she didn't
want anything to do with drugs.

Well the tox report says different.

She had Valium in her system.

Now, I'm still waiting
on the full autopsy report

but the medical examiner says she
found an anomaly in her brain tissue.

Could be nothing. But she sent that on

to a neuropathologist
to investigate further.

You know, it also looks like

Stacey deleted an outgoing phone call

from her call history yesterday.

Wait. Hold on. Hold on.

She deletes the phone call

and then she turned up dead?

Yeah you know, I'll
email the cell company

and see if we can get that
outgoing number from the cell tower.

Seems like Stacey was keeping
secrets for a lot of people.

Where are you thinking of starting?

Yeah, I was thinking the
same thing too, partner.

Prince Charming! Good timing!
I'm just making some margs.

- May I make you one?
- Some what?

Margaritas. It's five o'clock
somewhere, as they say.

I'm working.

Oh, well I'm grieving. So I win.

To what do I owe this pleasure?

Well, you failed to mention
that you had drugs delivered

to your daughter's super
special seventh birthday.

Drugs?

Oh God! I can assure you there
are no drugs in this house.

Those? Those don't count.
Obviously. They're not like

drugs drugs.

Well, actually they are.

They were illegally obtained.
So, I'm gonna confiscate them.

My life is a gong show. I need those.

- Then talk to your doctor.
- He's a moron.

Then get a better one.

I'm going through a brutal divorce.

Okay? I need that Valium for my anxiety.

Anyway, I don't think Stacey's death

has anything to do with drugs. I mean...

sex, on the other hand...

- What do you mean?
- It was just a joke. She...

- Didn't sound like a joke.
- It's just a rumour.

What sounds better?
Obstruction of justice

or possession of narcotics?

Fine.

Stacey and Otto have been
spending a lot of time together.

- You think they were having an affair?
- It's just a rumour.

Can you please forget that I said it?

Because you know what?
If this comes out,

it could destroy Otto's business.

And I do not want that.

What's his business?

Otto's built a social media empire

off being a dad.

The Natural Father?

Mm-hmm. And he's a dad influencer.

Chronicles everyday life
with his beautiful wife

and three beautiful kids.

- People are really into this?
- Oh yeah!

Yeah, two million
followers and counting.

Also, look at this.

He has his own Zen smoothie.

It's an herbal elixir
mixed with hawthorn leaf

that promises tranquility even when
your kids are driving you bananas.

Hmmm. They are really milking
this power couple thing.

Yeah, well every image is tailored
to sell the perfect marriage.

Which would be shattered if old Otto
was found to be having an affair.

- That gives us motive.
- Mm-hmm.

Okay, I'm gonna have Charlie
and Rex pay old Otto a visit.

- Two more Zen smoothies.
- Thank you!

Let's go, pal.

Here, buddy.

Track it.

Detective Hudson!

I knew you'd be by for
a smoothie eventually.

No. I'm actually, here to see you.

Oh.

You didn't have to do that for me.

Well I can't say I'm all that stoked

about my brand being associated
with murdered princesses.

Stacey's murder has nothing
to do with your brand.

- Subliminally. I mean subliminally.
- Of course.

I wonder how your fans would
feel about Mister Family Man

cheating on his wife
with a princess for hire.

I'm not cheating.

Stacey was our babysitter. That's it.

Mm-hmm.

What was your babysitter doing
in the back of your truck?

Keep an eye on him. Will you, Rex?

Hey, Sarah.

Good timing. What have you got?

Autopsy report came in.

Stacey's stomach contents
show that the Valium

was ingested with hawthorn leaf.

Well, that is very interesting.

Rex just placed Stacey in the back
of our hawthorn hocker's truck.

We were just about to have
a little chat, actually.

Okay, well then I'll give you
some additional talking points.

Stacey was pregnant.

Stacey and I were just friends.

Friends with benefits?

It wasn't like that.

She was in your vehicle

and there's rumours that you two were

pretty secretive about
your time together.

It's not what you think.

Okay.

Convince me.

Convince you of what?

You don't think it's possible
to have a platonic relationship

with an attractive woman?

Why was she in your vehicle?

- For advice.
- About what?

- Health advice.
- Then why was it so secretive?

She didn't want people to
know about her condition.

Mm-hmm.

Her pregnancy.

- Right?
- Yes.

She made me promise not to tell anyone.

So you're saying the baby is not yours?

A, I'm not a cheater. And B, I'm fixed.

You want a DNA sample?
I'll give you one.

I'm not the father.

Do you have any idea who is?

She didn't want me to know.

He did come by once to pick her up

after babysitting to
go grocery shopping.

How did you know it was him?

Because she acted weird
when I asked who it was.

She left without saying goodbye.

I did take a peek out
the living room curtain.

But they were already leaving.

- Turning out into the street.
- Hmm.

I didn't even hear the
car coming up the driveway.

And you never caught a glimpse?

It was silver.

Anything else?

It was clean?

I don't know. I'm not a
car guy. Is that a crime?

What time was this was approximately?

Last Thursday. 6-ish.

I'm gonna need your address.

No street CCTV near 234 Oak Street.

- It's deep residential.
- It was a silver clean car

that left that address around 6:00 PM

and then went to a grocery store.

Wait, he didn't get a make or model

while peeping on the babysitter?

He said he couldn't hear the
car come down the driveway.

Wait, if he didn't hear the
car coming, quiet or no motor,

then maybe what we're looking
for is an electric vehicle.

- Wait, that's worth a shot.
- You know what I'm gonna do?

I'm gonna see if I can source
some parking lot surveillance

- from grocery stores near Oak Street.
- Yeah, do it.

Hey, I just checked in with
Stacey's family and friends

and apparently, no one had
a clue that she was pregnant.

I guess they're not gonna
know who the father is then.

No.

But I think I do.

Our cell tower dump warrant just came in

and according to Stacey's phone records

on the day that she was murdered,

she made and then deleted a call

to Ron Craw.

Melina's angry ex-husband.

You think that Ron and
Stacey were having an affair?

Well it would explain Ron and
Melina's volatile relationship.

Yeah, a tryst with the nanny will do it.

Ron said that he was in the
washroom at the time of the murder.

Yeah.

But was he?

- Jesse, you wanna bring up that footage?
- Yep.

Okay.

Let's see what we've got here.

Stop.

On the right, that's where
the downstairs washroom is.

The door is open.

He was never in there.

I guess Ron lied about
getting away from his wife.

Then where was he?

I was in my study.

Melina is so damned petty. I
can't believe she ratted me out.

Alright, well now's your opportunity
to tell your side of the story.

She always hated the painting,
okay? Begged me to toss it.

Then she takes it in the divorce
settlement just to spite me.

- Sorry, no.
- So.

So I broke into my study

which I saw Melina has
turned into a meditation room

which is hilarious. She wouldn't
recognize self-reflection

if it was chewing on her face.

So you gonna arrest me for robbery?

- Or what's the plan here?
- Yeah, I might.

First, I wanna know the nature
of your relationship with Stacey.

There was no relationship. I never
laid eyes on her before Ivy's party.

Then why did she call you 35
minutes before she was murdered?

My lawyer advises me
not to say another word.

- Who's your lawyer?
- You're looking at him.

Wow.

That's a really clean car.

Silver, too.

It's sterling.

Everyone I know drives this car.

According to Otto, he picked
her up to go grocery shopping.

Well the closest store to Otto's is...

Fine Cuisine Emporium.

Oh.

And...

parking lot surveillance
footage just came in.

- There.
- Huh?

Right there.

That's the silver car.

That's definitely Stacey
getting out of the car.

Let's see if I can
get it high res enough

to key out our suspect.

There.

That's not Ron. What's
Corbin doing there?

So it seems that
Corbin may be the father

of Stacey's unborn child.

If Corbin and Stacey
were having an affair

then maybe Elaine found
out about it at the party

and pushed Stacey down the
stairs in a fit of jealousy.

Gave her extra Valium
to make her vulnerable.

Or maybe Corbin had her killed

if she was threatening to
tell his wife about the affair.

Yeah, I'm gonna talk to financial crimes

to see if I can tie that 65K

to Corbin that he deposited
in Stacey's account.

In the meantime, Charlie,
I want you and Rex

- to go and bring them both in.
- You got it.

I'm coming.

Always one step ahead.

Elaine, I know this
is a delicate subject

but we have reason to
believe that your husband

was having an intimate
relationship with Stacey.

We had an arrangement.

What kind of arrangement?

Hey.

If you lie to me,

I will charge you with
obstruction of justice.

I did not have sexual
relations with Stacey Nielsen.

She was deeply important to me.

Corbin loved her too.

There was no affair.

Maybe it was a misunderstanding.

Maybe Elaine saw you and Stacey
talking together at that party

misread the whole situation.

My wife wouldn't hurt a fly.

Why didn't you tell us this before?

We have a right to privacy.

You know,

I want my lawyer.

Elaine said that she and
Corbin had an open relationship.

But Corbin swears that he never
had sexual relations with Stacey.

Okay, so one or both of them are lying.

Hey. So I was sitting
with Sophie while waiting.

- She calls Elaine by her first name.
- Yeah. She's her stepmom.

Did she say anything about her?

She said she's nice.

But they really weren't
kidding about her fixation

with fairytales though.

She's worried that if her
Dad and Elaine have a baby

that Elaine will suddenly turn evil.

Just like in Cinderella.

Here, she made me this for me.

It's some sort of woman with

one two three four... seven kids.

These are dwarves.

As in, Snow White and the Seven Dwarves.

Oh boy. That's really obvious now.

- I'd make a really terrible mother.
- Oh I would not say that.

If Sophie sought you out,

I'd say that there
was a reason for that.

And you know what?
Now that I think of it,

Snow White was totally in
witness protection in the woods

because her stepmother
was trying to kill her.

See, this is why I hate fairytales.

Wicked stepmothers aren't real.

And you don't need a prince
for a happily ever after!

Hmm.

Nice of you to join us this morning.

Uh, Rex took forever to get
out of the house this morning.

Okay. I took forever to get
out of the house this morning.

- What'd I miss?
- Well, I confirmed it was Corbin

who put the down payment
on Stacey's condo.

Well if this is right

then we need to get Corbin's
DNA to see if he's the father.

No, he's never gonna agree to that.

That's okay. I've got a backup plan.

Need I remind you Charlie
that warrantless collection

- of DNA is not admissible in court.
- Yeah, I know.

But at least it'll prove if
we're barking up the right tree.

Am I right? Just a figure
of speech though, buddy.

I am gonna need my partner
though. So you up for it?

Okay.

Corbin.

What are you doing here?

Well, we know that you
helped Stacey buy a condo.

So I need a DNA sample.

Yeah, well you're not
getting one without a warrant.

Okay. Well, thank you for your time.

Rex!

Can you...?

Rex, come on, pal.

He's cute and everything. But...

can you get him out of my car?

Rex.

Come on, buddy.

Sorry about that. You know...

- dogs how they love their car rides.
- Yeah, it's fine.

Nicely done, partner.

Yeah, this is a gold mine.

Nice work, Rex.

Thanks for coming to me. I wanted
you to give this to you right away.

So, I extracted Corbin,
Sophie, and Elaine's DNA

- from the car sample.
- Is Corbin the father of Stacey's baby?

Yes. He is.

But Stacey is not the mother.

I'm sorry... what?

Yeah, what Joe said.

Elaine was the biological mother

of the baby that Stacey was carrying.

She was a surrogate.

- Yeah.
- This is the arrangement

that Elaine was talking about.

So Corbin was telling the truth.

He's the father of the baby
but he never slept with her.

No, and there's something else.

Elaine's shoes matched
the footwear impression.

Oh. Just like Cinderella.

Yeah, if Cinderella
was a murder suspect.

Yes, just like Cinderella.

So what's the motive here?

Why did they work so
hard to conceal this?

Well it's illegal to compensate
a surrogate in Canada.

The intended parents
can be fined big money

and jailed for up to 10 years.

The thing is none of
this explains why Stacey

deleted the call to Ron
right before she died though.

Yeah, I've got Jesse
working on that right now.

- Yeah.
- Okay, and I'll push to get the results back

- from Stacey's brain biopsy.
- Great.

In the meantime, Charlie, you get
Corbin and Elaine in here right away.

It's time to start
answering some questions.

Okay.

Where's Elaine?

I told you, I don't know. And
she's not answering her phone.

We know that Stacey
was a surrogate for you.

Then you also must
know that Elaine and I

would never do anything to
hurt her if for no other reason

than she was carrying our unborn child.

How did you three get tangled up?

Elaine hired Stacey to babysit
Sophie after her miscarriage.

I was out of town and she didn't
want Sophie to see her like that.

She and Stacey became friends

after Stacey watched her
have another miscarriage

and a stillbirth at 22 weeks.

And then she offered to
be a surrogate for us.

And the 65K?

It was a gift.

It made Elaine the
happiest woman in the world.

Corbin, we can place Elaine
at the scene of the crime.

She didn't do it.

She has no reason to do it.

Since Stacey's death,
she's been inconsolable.

It's Elaine.

Put her on speaker.

Elaine, where are you?

I love you so much, Corbin.

Elaine, tell me where you are!

Tell Sophie I love her.

And please..

Take good care of yourselves.

You're gonna be okay.

- Elaine!
- I love you both.

Whatever is going on, we can
talk this through. Elaine!

Elaine are you there?

Alright baby. Just
stay right there, okay?

Elaine!

Jesse, I need you to
track Elaine's phone.

We have reason to believe that she
might be about to take her own life.

Okay.

Charlie, her signal is
too weak to track by GPS.

I think her antenna is damaged.

Corbin said that he and Elaine used
to love to walk in Bowring Park.

I could have sworn I heard a
clock chime in the background.

Okay, let me see if I can find her

using multi-lateration of radio signals.

Uniforms are taking Corbin into custody.

Sophie's gonna have
to stay at the station

- until a family member arrives.
- Well, I'll watch her.

Charlie, you were right.
I pinpointed her position

within a 1 km radius of Bowring Park.

- I'm sending you the coordinates.
- Thanks.

Oh!

Results of Stacey's neuropathology
autopsy are finally in.

She had chemical cerebral anoxia.

Her brain was starved of oxygen
from a benzodiazepine overdose.

What does that mean?

Well it means she would
have already been dead

- before she fell down the stairs.
- So Elaine didn't push her.

Okay. I need to find out why

Stacey deleted that phone
call to Ron before she died.

I have to say it would
have been very challenging

for Stacey to operate a
phone during an OD like this.

Are you suggesting that
Stacey didn't do it herself?

I am.

- When did she delete that call?
- 2:35 PM.

- Time of death?
- Approximately 2:30 PM.

It'd be hard to operate
a phone when you're dead.

- Very hard.
- Who found the body?

Have a seat, Mrs. Rhodes.

Why am I even here?

Well, you saw someone who was murdered

and your first response
wasn't to call 911.

It was to check her cell phone

and delete a phone call that
she made to your ex-husband.

You can't talk to me like
I'm some kind of criminal.

We have you on possession of narcotics,

obstruction of justice,
tampering with evidence.

You are a textbook criminal.

Have a seat, Mrs. Rhodes.

Elaine.

Elaine.

You need to step back from the ledge.

I'm gonna come closer and
we're gonna talk, okay?

Easy.

- I just want to...
- I'll jump if you take another step!

Okay. Okay.

Okay.

Corbin told me about the surrogacy.

I know that you lost a friend.

I know that you lost a child.

I have no idea how that feels.

But I do know that you don't
need to go through this alone.

- Elaine.
- No.

I'm gonna send Rex in okay?

He's just gonna come say hello.

Easy.

Now why do you think Stacey
wanted to talk to your ex-husband?

- How should I know that?
- Come on.

You've got to have some
kind of hunch, right?

No.

Well, you deleted the phone call.

I just wonder why she
wanted to speak to him.

Hmm?

No?

Well according to this,

you were pulled over with your
daughter in the car last month.

Yeah. I had a glass of wine at lunch.

Was it served in a salad bowl?

- It was a one-time mistake.
- A one-time mistake. Okay.

Your second-time mistake

was when Ivy's school phoned

and said that you
neglected to pick her up.

I fell asleep on the couch.

Well, three strikes and you're out.

Right?

Because you do know that
you're gonna lose custody of Ivy

when Ron finds out about
your prescription drug habit.

I am her mother.

She's supposed to be with me.

Tell Corbin that I love him.

Tell him

that I'm sorry

that I failed as a mother..

- No, you didn't fail.
- ...in every way.

You didn't fail.

It's not your fault
you had miscarriages.

It's my fault this baby is gone.

How?

Corbin needs you.

Sophie needs you.

The world needs you. Come on.

The world needed Stacey!

And it's my fault that she's not here!

It all happened so fast.

What happened so fast?

I arrived and I saw her
stumbling up the stairs.

She seemed drunk or high.

And then she came in
and she went off on me.

Denied me service for no reason.

- I'm sorry. Service?
- Her delivery service.

Oh, you mean your Valium.

Yes.

Yeah, she said that she
thought I needed help

like I'm some kind of druggie
and she was gonna snitch on me.

But it's none of her or Ron's business

what I do with my body.

Right.

So you just pushed her down the
stairs in order to shut her up.

- I did not push her down the stairs!
- No?

What did you do?

- For Stacey.
- Thank you!

You drugged her.

I just wanted to discredit her.

So that Ron wouldn't believe
what she was gonna tell him.

Even though everything she
said was absolutely true.

It didn't sink in,

what I'd done until saw her.

Stay with her!

- Daddy! Daddy!
- You just stay right there okay?

Yeah, I've got her.

I'll never forgive myself.

Elaine! Elaine!

Elaine, come away from there!

You don't know what I've done!

You aren't responsible
for Stacey's death!

- I don't believe you.
- It's true.

Elaine, her heart stopped

before she fell down those
stairs. It's not your fault.

We lost another baby.

Then we'll grieve that loss together.

Hey, sweetie.

Are you okay, Mommy?

I'm gonna be! Yeah.

Can we go home now?

Yeah!

Yes.

Elaine!

Ahh!

Okay. Grab my arm.

Ah! Oh!

I've got you.

- Oh, Mommy!
- Thank God!

- Are you okay?
- I'm so sorry!

We love you, baby.

Melina just pled guilty to
criminal negligence causing death.

Ron's been awarded full custody
of Ivy for the time being.

What a needless tragedy this all was.

Do you think Elaine and
Corbin are gonna be okay?

Yeah, I do.

I'm curious.

How did you know all that
stuff about surrogacy?

I've done some research.

If I don't get my fairytale ending,

maybe I'll write my own story.

I think you'd make a great mom.

Thanks.

- Hey!
- You're a great dad.

- Huh?
- To your fur baby over here.

What do you think, pal?

Do you like being my fur baby?

I think that was a yes?

Yeah.
