.. Have you checked

your Instagram today? Oh, my God.

Crazily, my accidental self-love mantra

is trending. So, what,

you're gonna be an influencer now? To focus on the positive,

I am going to start posting daily affirmations.

There is no us. Not anymore.

FALLON: I am definitely not in good shape.

I need your help, Daddy.

You had one good move

that got you this job, so...

well, I figure I owe you one of my own.

Oh, hell no. Oh, hell no.

BLAKE: You just look so serene

for someone who doesn't know whose baby they're carrying.

How did you...? The lab called

about your paternity test.

There is no Mark Jennings in my heart.

TONY: Some guy named Mark Jennings

could be the baby daddy. Hello. Is this Mark?

(birds chirping)

♪ ♪

Whoa... Easy.

BLAKE: Looks like someone's ready

for the triple crown. (chuckles)

Hardly.

I thought I was gonna give her a workout,

and I'm the one who's exhausted.

You're sure that's safe for the baby?

My mother rode horses when she was pregnant with me,

and I turned out to be fine.

Well, I wouldn't say that.

You turned out perfectly.

(laughs softly)

Speaking of the baby...

Have you gotten word on the results from the DNA test?

I don't get them till tomorrow.

But when I do,

have you come around to the idea

that the baby I'm carrying might not be yours?

I'm not gonna lie, it's been hard,

but...

not as hard as a life without you.

I love you, Cristal.

And I've realized that

even if this baby is Mark's, it's gonna be yours.

A part of you.

And how could I not love it, too?

So whatever the results,

I will raise this child as if it's my own.

Wow.

As long as we keep this between us.

I need your word

that if it's not mine, we lie...

...and it goes in the vault.

(exhales)

ALEXIS: I don't know why she lied to you,

but you deserve to know.

Mark, I think it is your baby.

And what makes you so sure it's mine?

Because I overheard Cristal talking to Blake about it.

If I am the father, why wouldn't Cristal talk to me about it?

(laughs softly) Clearly you don't know Blake.

He's a very powerful man,

and a jealous one.

I believe that Cristal is afraid of him, and she's right to be.

I should know. Cristal and I

have become really good friends over the past few months,

and it pains me to see her hurting like this.

And I would intervene myself, but I'm sure that Blake would

make me pay for it.

So you mustn't let them know

that I have anything to do with this.

Do you understand? I got it.

Don't worry.

I won't, now that you're here.

Now, life has a way of working itself out.

FALLON: I mean, I basically had to spoon-feed Culhane

a simple capital expenditure report.

A third grader could have figured it out.

I mean, if you care about this new venture

as much as you say you do,

I would not let him near it. He managed to stack

our roster with the elite, hard-to-sign players.

Which is why he's head of player development, not an accountant.

Okay, but, I mean, I'm your little girl.

I'm the one that's gonna

be there for you in the end... in theory.

Mm-hmm. I mean, where's your loyalty?

If you mean professional loyalty, it's with Culhane.

He cannot be trusted. He lied to me, he will do the same to you.

You should dump him before he screws you over.

And you should get used to working with him.

Or, for him, technically.

He is a co-owner.

(groans) You asked for a job,

I made you head of branding, a critical position.

Yeah, not critical enough for a clothing allowance

or a corner office.

It's vital we get the press behind us

so we can build up momentum heading into the season.

Which is why we need the team launch to be a success.

Oh, it will be wildly successful,

because I have the experience to make it so.

Whereas Culhane... Enough.

Just focus on your job,

and leave your personal life at home.

♪ Yeah ♪

♪ Let's go, come get a sneak peek... ♪

Kirbs.

What do you think? Too much?

Is the diamond-studded cummerbund

crossing a line? KIRBY: No.

But I also think we ran past that line a while ago.

FALLON: Dare I ask

what's going on here?

KIRBY: Smile, Bo.

Uh, he's an influencer now.

Are you sure you two aren't under the influence?

I mean, what happened to your daily affirmations?

Well, I realized that I shouldn't be affirming anything

for anyone when I barely know what I'm doing myself.

And this is you knowing what you're doing?

It's the perfect way to increase my followers.

Yeah. And that's where the real money is.

(whispers): I get five percent. Well...

Would now be a good time to remind you loons

that Sam is married to a billionaire?

Well, this isn't about the money.

It's a chance for me to earn my place in this family,

to create my own empire.

I don't want people to think that I'm some sort of lazy,

hanger-on trophy husband.

No. You're not lazy.

All right, well,

give PETA my best when they call.

Need the conference room?

Nope, it's okay. I'll come back later.

Fallon, how long are you gonna keep this up?

Keep what up?

This. Avoiding me.

There's only so many offices to hide in around here.

Don't you think it's time to grow up?

Actually, I think it's time for you to find your own

family business to ruin and stay the hell away from mine.

Tell you what,

I'm gonna hit the gym before the launch meetings this morning.

It's all yours.

Wait.

Since we are stuck together like the Kardashians are with Kanye,

I will be the bigger person.

Truce?

Truce? I don't have the issue here.

You do.

Do you think you can work with me?

I'm a professional.

Besides, we have a history.

We know each other well. It'll make working together easy.

Perfect fit, really.

Glad you finally see it that way.

Keep the peace?

I wouldn't have it any other way.

Hmm.

Are things on track for the team launch tomorrow?

I believe so. As long as Fallon and Culhane

don't kill each other first.

Well, let's hope the new team has their same fighting spirit.

If they have half as much, we'll go undefeated,

I guarantee you.

(gasps) Oh, my God.

Yeah, Mark Jennings. I'm here to see Cristal Jennings.

It's Mark. Your ex-husband Mark?

Are you serious? Yeah.

What's he doing here?

I'm not sure.

ANDERS: Wait here for a moment,

Mr. Jennings, I'll go and see if I can find...

JENNINGS: Mark.

What a surprise.

Cristal.

BLAKE: You must be Mark Jennings.

Let me guess: Blake Carrington.

Heard a lot about you.

What brings you to Atlanta?

Just some personal business.

ANDERS: So would you like me to get the staff to bring

some coffee into the drawing room?

Unfortunately, we don't have time.

We were just on our way out.

Hey, I get it. Won't keep you.

But before I go, I need to talk to Cristal.

Alone.

♪ ♪

e? I wanted to see you,

make sure you're okay.

This guy treating you well?

Of course he is.

You sure?

Why the sudden concern?

You used to like it when I was concerned.

I also used to like when you sang in the bathtub.

Things change.

Yeah. I'm more of a shower guy now.

(laughs softly)

You told me I wasn't the father.

It's easy to lie to someone in a text.

Please don't do this.

But I'm hoping

that it's a lot harder for you to lie to my face.

Mark...

Crissy...

is that our baby?

Rolling. Hey, guys,

it's the real Sammy Jo here,

coming to you live from the Carrington Manor.

So now that you

are getting to know me, I want to know what you want to see.

Ooh. Lots of ideas coming through.

Mostly involving nudity,

or animals.

Or both. What?

Ew. People are weird. ANDERS: This, apparently,

was left anonymously at my door.

Am I supposed to have it dry-cleaned

in case Bo needs it for his next formal event?

Anders, we're kind of in the middle of something here.

And yes, he'll need it for Westminster next week.

Oh, well, at least he won't be the only one overdressed.

Cut it. Yeah. (phone chiming)

Whoa. Lots of comments about my dad.

"Who's the savage butler?"

"#ButlerOrBoss"?

"#AndersForever"?

What? (chuckles)

Huh? (phone chiming)

Well, the people have spoken.

Welcome to the team, Joseph Anders.

You look a little out of sorts.

Go away, Alexis.

Who was that handsome man that I saw enter the manor?

Not that it's any of your business,

but it's Cristal's ex-husband.

Mark Jennings?

So is it true? Is what true?

Well, I, um, overheard some staff scuttlebutt,

and I didn't want to believe it,

but is there some sort of question

as to the paternity of Cristal's child?

Just stop right there.

Get your own disastrous life in order

before you stick your nose into mine.

I'm so sorry that it has to end this way.

Excuse me?

Well, obviously, you can't stay with her

if you're not the father.

I mean, what's it gonna look like?

"Blake Carrington raises another man's child"?

Well, it'll look like the last 30 years.

Isn't that how long you lied to me about Steven's real father?

That is different. Is it?

Look what your lies did to Steven.

He's run off to go find himself and he hasn't come back.

Who knows if we'll ever even see him again.

You know what? Thank you.

Thank you, Alexis.

For once, your constant invasion of privacy's

been very helpful. Thank you.

Cristal.

Blake.

We need to talk, Cristal.

I know the truth, Carrington.

I'm sorry. I had to tell him

there's a chance he might be the father.

Please don't be upset.

No. I never should've told you to lie.

Eventually, the truth would come out,

and then this child would hate us.

Good call on that.

I owe you an apology.

If this child

turns out to be yours, we will work out

some sort of amicable custody arrangement.

You mean that?

Yeah. No more lies and no more secrets.

That's all I ever wanted.

I appreciate that, Blake.

To prove that I'm sincere, you are welcome to stay here

at the manor until the test results come back tomorrow.

Thanks.

I might just take you up on that.

I can't believe this new Blake

I'm looking at. This is gonna work out,

even if we have a blended family,

you'll see.

I have no doubt. Whatever comes our way, we'll deal with it.

I love you.

♪ ♪

What's up, Fallon?

Sup, Kyle. Looking good.

You, too.

Culhane, you're here.

Oh, did-did you think I'd be late for some reason?

Your trick at the gym didn't work.

I'm sure I have no idea what you're talking about.

But you might want to change the combination on your locker.

You've had the same code since I've known you.

So much for your truce. I should've known better.

Yes, you should've.

You think a stunt like that's gonna work on me?

You're gonna have to try a little harder.

Oh, really? Where the hell were you?

Right here, waiting for the morning meeting.

Which was moved up an hour. You missed it.

What? I...

Look, I didn't know about the time change.

Okay, there was a mishap at the gym.

My-my phone, my clothes, everything was stolen.

Yeah, I don't want your excuses, I want you at the meeting.

We have one shot at this launch, it has to go well.

I didn't have an issue with you before, but I do now.

It's on.

(chuckles) I do love a good challenge.

(whistling)

Hi.

Alexis. Just back from a swim.

Water's great. You should take a dip.

You seem to have gotten quite comfortable

considering you're behind enemy lines.

Yeah, it didn't go at all like you said.

Guy was pretty understanding.

Kid turns out to be mine, we share custody.

Cristal called it a, uh, a blended family.

Yes, you'll be one big Benetton ad.

You know, I just still

can't help but worry.

You know, Blake and his kind gestures

usually come with an expiration date.

You think he'll change his mind? He might have

acted like he was understanding, but, you know, make no mistake,

he will find a way

to banish you from your child's life.

It's a pain that I know all too well.

He seemed pretty genuine.

You sure this has nothing to do

with your own personal grudge with Blake?

Maybe I should've told you this earlier--

she is still in love with you.

What?

It's true.

Why wouldn't she tell me herself?

Because she's terrified to admit it.

She's afraid that Blake will retaliate.

And, well, I mean, I would've told you this earlier,

but I didn't want to betray her trust,

and quite frankly, I thought that she'd tell you herself.

Son of a bitch.

Hanson will hand it off to me,

I'll unveil the logo, then Culhane

will introduce the player roster.

Oh, which none of us received, Mr. Culhane.

I hope it didn't slip through the cracks

due to your busy gym schedule.

Apologies. I was hoping to close a deal on one more player

before the launch. You'll have

a roster list in the morning.

Cutting it a little close, don't you think?

Oh, good point, Bill.

The most important part

of the team launch is the team, is it not?

I'm on top of it, Fallon, so just stay in your lane.

The road is your expertise, isn't it, Mr. Culhane?

It's been brought to my attention

that you were Mr. Carrington's driver six months ago?

I've invested millions here.

Why are we leaving so much up to you?

I was a driver for Mr. Carrington.

I sat in that front seat,

listened to every deal he negotiated.

And that has helped me

when it came to closing deals with our players.

And he was pivotal in helping us sign Sterling Wells to the team.

You see, the easiest way to increase

our fan base is by securing star players.

I've put together a financial outlook

based on our current player acquisitions.

Each player will have a different impact

on our economic and social growth,

which will attract more broadcasters,

which in turn will generate more revenue.

That way our GSI continues to rise,

and we all continue to make money.

Uh, there's a copy for you, Billy.

Read that, let me know if you have any questions.

You haven't eaten much of your breakfast, have you, hmm?

Ah.

Now I don't want you to get used to having caviar,

you'll get a feeling of entitlement.

But you're just a dog.

Yes, you are, even if you have a very fine tuxedo.

Here, try that. Free-range...

KIRBY: Oh, my God, are you seeing this?

I don't know what I'm seeing.

Well, your followers are all over it.

"#TheDogButler." "Buckhead or Barkhead."

"The real Bloodhound Gang."

Oh, my God, there's already a meme.

I guess this is what people want to see.

Michael, nice work.

Bill threw you a curveball and you handled it with ease.

You seriously think

a Louisiana investor who flew in here for a day

just happened to know that I used to be your driver?

That curveball was thrown by Fallon.

E-Excuse me? I had nothing to do with that.

Please. How long are you gonna continue with these

childish pranks? Because I'm here to work.

Oh, as am I. And I'm telling you, it was not me.

Just like you had nothing to do with my disappearing clothes?

Oh, please, someone must have... And you took my phone.

(overlapping arguing) Enough!

Whatever's going on with you two needs to end.

Now, or heads will roll.

I am telling you, I had nothing

to do with Bill's comments.

Michael, did that lob work for you?

Like a charm. Thanks, buddy.

Anything to help a fellow LSU man mark his territory.

Go Tigers.

I'm sorry, you set yourself up to make it look like I did it?

I admit, I'm not usually that petty,

but I know you, Fallon.

The only way to get to you is to stoop to your level.

(scoffs)

Ms. Jennings,

I just came from the stables.

Patches is-is really acting up.

None of the staff can calm him down.

What's wrong? Did something happen?

Probably spooked by a snake or something.

Look, I hate to ask,

but would you mind going out and checking on him?

He always seems to settle down around you.

I'll go check on him.

(sighs)

Well done, Anthony.

I don't like lying. It makes me uncomfortable.

Well, not as uncomfortable as you'd be if Blake found out

that you'd switched the first paternity test.

I knew that'd come back to bite me in the ass.

Mark?

What are you doing here?

I can see why you like it here.

And these barns? I mean, I can fit my entire house in here,

including the backyard.

Your place has its own charm.

You're being kind, as usual.

Except when you get on a horse.

You always had to win when we went racing on the farm.

It's an ugly side to you, really.

(chuckles)

Well, I don't remember you holding back much either.

Guilty.

I miss those days. I miss you.

They're nice memories, but they're in the past.

We could create new memories.

Mark... Cristal,

is it true?

Do you still have feelings for me?

What? Why would you think that I...

Don't be mad, Alexis told me.

Alexis? No. A-Are you kidding me?

Yeah, she's a real piece of work,

but it doesn't matter what she said.

All that matters is the answer.

Do you still have feelings for me?

(sighs)

It doesn't matter if I have feelings.

We can't be together, you know that.

It's too dangerous.

Our car accident was no accident.

My family tore us apart then,

and they will do it again.

To hell with your family. Things are different now.

Yeah, they're different. I moved on.

I had to.

And you should do it as well.

If I thought you were really happy with this guy,

I would walk away.

But I know you.

I can see it in your eyes.

Is this what you really want?

Must be 7:00 if you're home from work.

Oh, dear. Well, I'm not surprised, given the way

they were looking at each other earlier.

You never really do get over your first love.

I never did.

Oh, you're a sight for sore eyes.

You won't believe the afternoon that I had.

Exhausted from a day full of bribery, no doubt.

How could you pressure Mark to leave town?

I was just trying...

Whatever you were trying to do,

you did it without discussing it with me.

Blake, we promised, no more lies between us.

And then you go behind my back

and do something like that?

Is this what our marriage is gonna be like?

You're right. I'm sorry.

I-I saw you and Mark at the stables, and I got jealous.

I was worried that I was losing you.

Keep it up and you just might.

You know, lies are the reason I stopped talking

to my own family.

I won't let history repeat itself.

I won't stand for that.

Because you're such a pillar of honesty?

If memory serves, you were the one that lied first.

You were trying to keep this whole thing a secret.

I already explained everything.

And if I hadn't found out by accident,

you'd probably still be lying to me.

You're upset with me for lying?

Seems to me there's plenty of lies to go around.

Oh, sorry. This is usually

my moping spot.

I'd use the study, but I'd rather not run into my father.

Don't worry, he left.

We had a fight.

I may be the one responsible for putting him in a foul mood.

I sort of sabotaged our team launch,

due to my own ego,

while destroying Culhane's reputation

in the process. Wow.

What can I say? I'm a multitasker.

Oh, you might win, but not by much.

Still got the baby-daddy blues? Ugh.

Well, I'm sure Blake didn't mean whatever stupid thing he said.

That's just it. Everything he said is true.

And the worst part is, the person we should be angry with

is Alexis.

Recurring theme in our family.

She used Mark like a pawn, feeding him with lies

to further her own agenda,

which is, of course, getting me out of this house.

Wow, that's really awful.

She would do anything to get what she wants,

and she doesn't care who she hurts in the process.

Uh-huh.

She's a petty, manipulative person

who only thinks about herself. (scoffs)

Oh, no. I'm-I'm sorry.

Fallon, I'm so sorry. She's your mother.

I shouldn't talk like this. No, it's not that.

It's just that everything you're saying is describing me.

No. Don't be silly.

No, it's true, I am turning into my mother.

I am gonna end up old and alone and surrounded

by paintings of dogs. No, no.

You're nothing like her.

For starters, you just admitted you were wrong,

and she would never do something like that.

Good point.

And she would never, ever apologize and make things right.

Something you can still do.

You think so?

Yes, I do.

Come here.

God, where have you been all my life?

I bet I wouldn't even be in this situation

if I had a decent mother like you growing up.

(knock on door)

I know,

I am the last person you want to see right now,

and you have every right to slam the door in my face,

but...

I come with a peace offering.

Dry-cleaned.

Even the shoes.

Okay, look, please, Michael, can I just have five minutes?

Are you sure?

Yeah, yeah, I-I totally understand.

Okay, well, thanks for calling.

Bye.

Can I help you, Alexis?

Oh, just picking up some fresh towels.

Or were you looking for Mark?

Why on earth would I be looking

for one of your castoffs, dear?

To see if your scheme is working.

You know, the one where you bring Mark to Atlanta,

hoping to drive Blake and me apart.

(laughs) Poor, pathetic Cristal.

You are as delusional about me

as you are about your place in this manor.

I'm not the one pretending to need towels.

Allow me to explain.

You came here as a temporary rebound for Blake.

So that baby you're carrying

is the only thing that tethers you to him.

He will do the honorable thing and marry you,

but without that baby,

well, you mean nothing to him.

So, if it proves to be Mark's, it'll be...

sayonara mamacita.

Interesting theory.

Of course, I see it differently.

Blake and I are very, very much in love.

And were long before I knew I was pregnant.

That's what binds us.

That and our unborn child.

That's right.

Did I forget to mention?

I just got off the phone with my doctor.

Blake is the father of my baby.

We're having a boy.

Another Carrington heir.

(chuckles)

Congratulations.

Not that it's all that special.

I mean, even worms can procreate.

(scoffs)

It's pathetic watching you hold on

to your old life long after it ended.

Your family is done with you.

Steven left the country to get away from you.

Fallon fears turning into you.

And Blake, Blake only pities you.

Your time at the manor is over.

And the saddest part...

is you know it.

And despite everything that has happened between us,

I would never betray what we had

by telling someone about your past.

You may not have told the reporter,

but you opened the door for her to dig deeper.

You're right.

And for that, I am deeply sorry.

But you have to believe me.

I would never do that on purpose.

(sighs) Truth is...

that reporter could have talked to any of my old coaches

and dug up my past and...

I shouldn't have went after you at the office.

But I was hurt.

So I started playing your game

hoping I could hurt you back.

I deserved it; I felt like I couldn't trust you anymore

and so I lashed out.

I guess we both made some pretty bad decisions lately.

(scoffs)

Starting with my decision to work with Ada Stone.

(chuckles) Yeah, I'm still waiting

on an apology for that one, by the way.

You do know that I have nothing to apologize for, right?

Uh, other than the fact that Monica was hurt,

Jeff was shot and you lied to me

again and again? For the millionth time,

I was protecting you.

Meanwhile, you were out chasing Liam around

like a lost puppy. Oh, no. I did that for us.

In the beginning.

Besides, you chose to work for Ada.

You saw a get-rich-quick opportunity.

And you jumped at it. Now this is about money?

Why does it always come back to money

with the Carringtons? Because money has always been

the root of all of our problems. Always?

Yeah, basically. I can't remember a time when it wasn't.

I wish I could. I wish I could go back

to a time when everything was not so damn complicated.

I mean, I wish I could go back to when we were good.

Why can't we go back? (shushing)

and you have every right to slam the door in my face,

but...

I come with a peace offering.

Dry-cleaned.

Even the shoes.

Okay, look, please, Michael, can I just have five minutes?

Are you sure?

Yeah, yeah, I-I totally understand.

Okay, well, thanks for calling.

Bye.

Can I help you, Alexis?

Oh, just picking up some fresh towels.

Or were you looking for Mark?

Why on earth would I be looking

for one of your castoffs, dear?

To see if your scheme is working.

You know, the one where you bring Mark to Atlanta,

hoping to drive Blake and me apart.

(laughs) Poor, pathetic Cristal.

You are as delusional about me

as you are about your place in this manor.

I'm not the one pretending to need towels.

Allow me to explain.

You came here as a temporary rebound for Blake.

So that baby you're carrying

is the only thing that tethers you to him.

He will do the honorable thing and marry you,

but without that baby,

well, you mean nothing to him.

So, if it proves to be Mark's, it'll be...

sayonara mamacita.

Interesting theory.

Of course, I see it differently.

Blake and I are very, very much in love.

And were long before I knew I was pregnant.

That's what binds us.

That and our unborn child.

That's right.

Did I forget to mention?

I just got off the phone with my doctor.

Blake is the father of my baby.

We're having a boy.

Another Carrington heir.

(chuckles)

Congratulations.

Not that it's all that special.

I mean, even worms can procreate.

(scoffs)

It's pathetic watching you hold on

to your old life long after it ended.

Your family is done with you.

Steven left the country to get away from you.

Fallon fears turning into you.

And Blake, Blake only pities you.

Your time at the manor is over.

And the saddest part...

is you know it.

And despite everything that has happened between us,

I would never betray what we had

by telling someone about your past.

You may not have told the reporter,

but you opened the door for her to dig deeper.

You're right.

And for that, I am deeply sorry.

But you have to believe me.

I would never do that on purpose.

(sighs) Truth is...

that reporter could have talked to any of my old coaches

and dug up my past and...

I shouldn't have went after you at the office.

But I was hurt.

So I started playing your game

hoping I could hurt you back.

I deserved it; I felt like I couldn't trust you anymore

and so I lashed out.

I guess we both made some pretty bad decisions lately.

(scoffs)

Starting with my decision to work with Ada Stone.

(chuckles) Yeah, I'm still waiting

on an apology for that one, by the way.

You do know that I have nothing to apologize for, right?

Uh, other than the fact that Monica was hurt,

Jeff was shot and you lied to me

again and again? For the millionth time,

I was protecting you.

Meanwhile, you were out chasing Liam around

like a lost puppy. Oh, no. I did that for us.

In the beginning.

Besides, you chose to work for Ada.

You saw a get-rich-quick opportunity.

And you jumped at it. Now this is about money?

Why does it always come back to money

with the Carringtons? Because money has always been

the root of all of our problems. Always?

Yeah, basically. I can't remember a time when it wasn't.

I wish I could. I wish I could go back

to a time when everything was not so damn complicated.

I mean, I wish I could go back to when we were good.

Why can't we go back? (shushing)

You okay?

Yeah, I'm okay.

(sighs)

(shower turns on)

Unless you have a round of cookies up your sleeve,

just let me wallow here in peace.

Well, according to the poll your followers took,

wallowing is your second-worst look, so...

One more reason for them to leave me, then.

Not all of them.

One fan who hasn't abandoned you has left you a video message.

And I think you should watch it.

(groans)

Fine.

But it better have adorable puppies in it.

ANDERS: Greetings to social media.

You may know me as The Dog Butler.

Or the "Savage Butler" as my OG fans call me.

But as usual, the Internet only tells half the truth.

You see, over the last year, I have developed

quite a soft spot for "the real Sammy Jo."

Technically, he's married to my son.

But even if that weren't the case,

I'd still consider him to be family.

And that being the case, I think it's time

he started to call me Dad.

Or #Dad if that better suits you millennials.

I can't believe he did that.

You think it'll go viral?

This is the most thoughtful thing you ever said to me.

Well, feel free to post it on TheRealSammyJo if you'd like.

No.

I'm going to keep this one for myself.

Some things aren't meant to be shared.

I'm glad you're in my life, Anders.

And you in mine.

#Blessed.

No.

No one says that anymore.

Oh.

Hey, I was thinking I should probably

crash at a hotel until the test results come in.

Unless you already got the results.

I'm not the dad, am I?

No.

I'm so sorry.

It's Blake's baby.

Didn't realize how much

I was hoping for a different ending.

But one thing's for sure.

You're gonna be a great mother.

Oh, Mark.

One day... you'll make a great dad.

Well, I should get going.

It's good to see you again, Cristal.

Mark.

Before you go...

...how about one last ride?

For old times' sake?

(chuckles softly)

I see that you're indulging in your favorite pastime.

In the interest of keeping the cleaning staff on schedule,

is there any chance you might move

your alcohol-induced hibernation elsewhere?

Like the loft?

Or Iceland.

Alexis.

Please grace us with your departure.

You're right, Anders.

It is time for me to go.

Mack, hi.

What we talked about earlier is no longer necessary.

Let's just abort mission, all right?

Let me know you got this message ASAP.

I hate to slut-shame, but...

this looks a lot like you just got back

from some daytime debauchery. I don't know what you're talking about.

Okay, fine. Shut up, leave me alone.

Never.

Where were you? Just out.

Repeating my mistakes, wondering if I'll ever learn.

And if you post that, I will shred every fanny pack you own.

Oh, relax.

I'm putting the, uh, influencer thing on hold.

Why? Too many requests for eggplant?

No. Well, yes.

But, turns out it wasn't about me proving

that I'm not a... trophy husband.

I was just trying to find a...

way to belong here without Steven.

(ringtone playing)

Oh, my God. It's Steven.

Aw... Must be a sign from the universe. Hey.

STEVEN: Sam, thank God. I need...

(static) ...soon as you can.

Steven? Can you hear me? You're breaking up.

I need help. I was mugged... (static)

...no passport, I have no credit card. Oh, my God, are you okay?

What happened? He got mugged.

Steven, we're coming to Paraguay to get you, okay?

No, I'm not in Paraguay anymore. I'm in...

(static) Steven.

Steven, can you hear me?
