[music]

Sandra, have you seen Mr. Reginald?

He has a bottle of sleeping pills, baby,

and I'm afraid he's going to harm himself.

No, I haven't seen him.

Please help me check the other residents' rooms,

and see if anyone knows where he is.

OK, I will.

Jesus.

The patio.

Oh, my God. Reginald.

[screams]

You almost gave me a heart attack, Leah.

You almost gave me one, Mr. Reginald.

What are you doing with the sleeping pills?

Did you take the pills?

No, I didn't. I didn't take the pills.

I came out here to think a little,

at least to try.

I must have fallen asleep.

I haven't been sleeping well lately.

Oh, I'm sorry about breaking into the medicine cabinet.

Mr. Reginald, I don't care about that stupid lock.

I care about you.

We all do. Thank the Lord you're OK.

Am I? I have dementia, Leah.

Yes, Mr. Reginald, you have dementia,

but we're treating your symptoms.

Medication isn't working.

Give it time.

Same with the therapies and the lifestyle changes.

Diet, exercise, staying social, those are your answers.

Ending it all is not, OK?

It's already ended for me, Leah.

Life is a highway, they say,

and everybody here is speeding down the highway

while I'm off to the side, stuck in park, tank on empty.

You gotta find a way to refuel your tank.

There's plenty of road ahead of you.

Hmm.

But only you have the power to control

getting your car moving forward again. You.

I get lost, Leah.

Thank you for the direction.

Oh, Mr. Reginald.

You know what?

No more of these, OK?

You having bad thoughts, I am always here.

Now, I am gonna refer you to a mental health professional.

But I know a great therapist.

And I'll find a way to fill my tank again.

OK.

Oh, you can't scare me like that, Mr. Reginald.

? No matter what you do I love you ?

? No matter where you go I'm behind you for sure ?

? Always remember, blood ain't never water ?

? We'll make it if we stay together ?

Anastasia, what has you so thinking so deeply?

I'm having a hard time deciding what I should do.

Oh, well, you're in luck.

Because Efe Omowale is here to provide advice

with the accumulated wisdom of the ancients.

I just love that you carry

that ancient wisdom in your spirit.

Oh, no, no. I carry it here on my mobile device.

I have an unlimited data plan.

Well, I have had enough of the Internet.

I got canceled because I accidentally liked

someone's offensive post on social media.

And the producer canceled your guest appearance on

-As the Bold and Restless Turn ? -Oh, you heard me? Yeah.

My ancestors heard you yelling.

I'm so stressed.

And the one person that has been able to take my mind off things,

I can't invite him over.

Wait, are you talking about the barber

that you have been seeing, Lawrence?

Why can't you invite him over?

I worry that we just aren't the right fit long term.

I hate to lead him on if we're not a romantic match.

So in my country, when a woman is unsure

whether she should continue dating a man,

she introduces him to her tribe.

Oh.

Yes, because your friends and family know you best.

So, they are best in the position

to advise you of whether you're a good match.

That sounds like a wonderful plan.

I will invite Lawrence over for tea,

and you all can render your judgment.

And now that you have set my romantic life

on the proper course,

I'm off to see if Sandra and Reginald

can get my acting career back on track.

-Wish me luck. -Good luck!

I'm gonna need it.

Vincent, why do you look like

your most productive goat has just died?

I was looking forward to going to that food expo,

you know, so I could meet my culinary hero,

you know, the Picasso of pizza, the guru of grits, Chef Wilson,

but damn thing sold out, man.

Oh, do not despair, Vincent.

You're just in the need of something to do.

Oh!

Anastasia is inviting over her male suitor.

Mm-hmm.

So maybe you can assist us in determining

whether she should continue dating him or break up.

Oh, I'm so excited! Look, I just can't hide it.

I'm about to lose control, but I think I like it.

I didn't know you'd be this excited to meet

one of Anastasia's would-be boyfriends.

No, no, no. I'm not excited to meet him.

I'm excited to make the dude look bad in front of Anastasia.

That way, she'll break it off.

You know, I can't believe you are still holding out hope

that Anastasia will one day call you her boo thing.

Oh, you don't understand.

I'm about to look way better than this Lawrence the barber.

You can believe that, man. I'm about to show him up!

[laughter turns to coughing]

No! Whiskey. I don't want that. Whiskey.

OK.

Reginald, darling, what on earth are you doing?

I'm playing tennis, what does it look like I'm doing?

Oh, I know you're building a ship in a bottle,

but why didn't you meet us in my room like I asked?

Because I'm not a charity case, and you only asked me

because you feel sorry for me.

Mr. Reginald, we really do need your help.

You're the smartest person we know.

Well, that may have been true once upon a time,

but the lucid Lusitania has sailed away, so to speak.

Was that English?

The Lusitania was a transatlantic passenger ship,

and lucid means to be in one's right mind,

ergo it's simply a metaphor that states,

my brain power has set sail, never to return.

You literally just said every word in the thesaurus,

which is why you're the perfect genius to help clear my name.

Look, would you please just give us your opinion

on this social media post I wrote?

It's designed to rehab Miss Anastasia's image.

Huh? What you've done here is wonderful, Sandra.

You've been transparent and admitted to the mistake

instead of concocting some cockamamie excuse.

You don't think me admitting to being clueless

on social media casts me in a negative light?

I think it makes you super relatable.

Agreed.

And people, often people our age,

are very unfamiliar with the social media.

And, uh, and I believe being honest

will earn the public sympathy and forgiveness.

-OK, well let's post it. -[Reginald] Mm-hmm.

Now we wait.

So how's your tiny ship coming?

Are you just asking me that

because you, uh, want me to be more socially involved?

Guilty as charged.

I could care less about tiny boats.

But big boats? That's another story.

Did I ever tell you about that time

on Prince Ferdinand's super yacht

when he asked me to walk his plank?

Oh, oh, Miss Anastasia,

your highly inappropriate story will have to wait.

You're back up to 10,000 followers and growing.

It's working! Oh, Sandra Reginald, thank you!

Let's be honest, you simply asked my opinion and I gave it.

I didn't have anything to do with your,

your change of fortunes.

Uh, wait, Miss Anastasia, do you know Carlita Cumberbatch?

Carlita was my main Hollywood rival years ago. Why?

Uh, she's saying you're lying

and that you really do hate animals.

She said she once saw you kick a puppy

in a fur coat, wearing alligator skin boots.

Well, I never!

Oh, no. Your followers are going back down.

-What do we do, Sandra? -I don't know.

8,000? 5,000?

What are we gonna do?

What are you doing? Lawrence is just coming for tea.

Why are you stretching your muscles?

You know, if you stay ready, you ain't got to get ready.

-[doorbell rings] -I'll get it.

Hi, I'm Lawrence. Is Anastasia here?

-Got the wrong address, partner. -[door slams]

Vinnie!

Oh, Vinnie has a very peculiar sense of humor.

Please, come in. Come in, sir. How are you?

Efe?

-Ah, yes, yes, yes. -I've heard so much about you.

Well, we ain't heard a damn thing about you.

There's that peculiar sense of humor again.

Anastasia told me you both went to the movies?

You know she loves the movies very much.

So what film did you see?

Uh, none. I was just dropping off my aunts.

Personally, I don't care for movies.

Ooh, I see you do crossword puzzles.

She likes her puzzles.

So that's just something you have in common

Actually, puzzles don't interest me in the slightest.

This is Anastasia's.

It fell out of her purse in my car.

And...is it hot in here? Because I'm burning up.

I had to put a sweater on, it's so cold in here.

Oh Anastasia, can you please point me to the restroom?

I want to wash my hands

before I try some of those delicious looking sandwiches.

Oh, sure. That way.

Anastasia, this man is not right for you.

He is too dumb to do crossword puzzles, right?

Too lame to watch a movie,

and he's going to run your AC bill through the roof.

Three strikes, his ass is out.

But there are other ways he and I don't match.

It seems he and I are just missing that spark, you know?

Well, they say in my country, when there's no spark,

no amount of rubbing wood can start one.

I beg to differ, but not in this case.

I guess I'll let Lawrence know.

Hey, hey, Lawrence, Anastasia got something to tell you.

Vinny, if I may?

In the restroom, I noticed an issue of Foodie Magazine

addressed to you. Do you like to cook?

I'm the best chef in seven seas, man.

-Really? -Uh-huh.

Well, I happen to cut the hair of Master Chef Wilson.

-Chef Wilson? -Mm-hmm.

-The Chitlin' Champion? -That's the one.

-The Wizard of Waffles? -Absolutely.

-The Burger Boss, that dude? -No other.

And he gave me two tickets to the big cooking expo tonight.

Man, I've been trying to get tickets for that. It's sold out!

Well, you know, I'd be more than happy to take you as my guest.

Now, we're talking about a VIP experience now.

Uh-huh. Uh-huh.

I'm talking about backstage passes.

-What? -I'm talking about autographs.

Father God.

And maybe, maybe even a food tasting

with the Souffle Sensei himself.

Thank you, Jesus. Jesus, thank you.

Let me get this right. You'd do that for me,

even though I slammed the damn door on your face?

Of course, man.

I mean, I am dating your good friend Anastasia,

so I got you, all right?

And Anastasia, what was it that you wanted to tell me?

[Vinny] He's alright. Nothing wrong with him.

and you've been nothing but a gentleman,

but I've given it a lot of thought and I--

And she is still excited to keep seeing you.

-Isn't that great news? -Oh, yeah, that is great news.

And I am excited to keep seeing you too, Anastasia.

Well, actually, I was going to--

She was going to tell you earlier,

but that's the reason she invited you over here,

so she could tell,

this is like a "Let's keep seeing each other," celebration.

Remember the discussion we had about compatibility?

Oh, yeah, I remember. I mean, so what?

They're not compatible in certain areas,

but they balance out in others. I mean, they work well.

Yes, but I don't think it is your place to...

I know my place to make a toast. That I do.

Hands up in the air.

Make a toast to Lawrence and Anastasia!

May you keep seeing each other forever.

No, no, no, no, no, no, no, stop, stop.

Anastasia, please, tell Lawrence how you truly feel.

I must admit, our differences in personalities

have given me pause.

Please.

But after thinking more, I have decided...

Don't say it.

That I, in fact, want to continue seeing you.

Oh, that's great!

-Now, who wants cookies? -Oh, I do. Let's get some.

[Vinny] He's alright.

-I'm confused. -I am too, but I'm going.

OK.

Yikes. Miss Anastasia, you're officially trending.

That's good news, isn't it?

The other trending topics besides you are gas prices,

climate change destroying the Earth,

and robot AI murdering human beings.

This is so unfair.

None of Carlita's allegations about me

hating animals are true.

It doesn't matter. It's the Internet.

Trolls can say whatever they want.

Uh, that's not entirely the case.

It's not?

No. Laws against libel and slander hold true,

even on the World Wide Web.

What can we do?

Well, it's not what we can do.

It's what we will do.

Watch out. Judge Juney's on the case.

Esteemed Judge Reginald Juney is going to issue

the scoundrel Carlita Cumberbatch

a cease and desist, and threaten to sue her

with social media defamation.

You go, Judge Juney.

I will force her to admit

her allegations against you are completely false.

Can you make it so that she also has to admit

that I age like fine wine, and she ages like milk?

Uh, no, I'm sorry, but, uh,

judging from her profile picture,

that fact remains a matter of public record.

-Anastasia, that was wonderful. -Yeah.

Thank you so much for the invitation.

Thank you for coming, darling.

And Vinny, you have a wonderful facility here.

Well, it looks like you're going to be coming around a lot,

so I might as well just show you the lay of the land.

-Come on, let's go. Yeah. -OK.

Actually Vincent, I need to speak with you.

Efe, do you mind giving Lawrence a tour

of the facility instead?

Oh, it would be my pleasure. Come on.

All right. Here we go. Here we go.

All right. All right. I know what you're going to say.

Oh?

That I wanted you to keep dating Lawrence

so I could go to the cooking expo.

I don't think that, I know it.

OK, and you think that I only put up with his lame behind

so I'd get a chance to meet The Maestro of Macaroni?

I didn't decide to continue dating Lawrence because of you.

-I did it for me. -You did?

When you said how our differences

made Lawrence and I a good pair, I got to thinking.

In spite of our differences, Lawrence is a good man.

And even though that spark is missing

that I have shared with virile men on all seven continents,

to include Antarctica,

have you ever had crisp, arctic love

wearing nothing but mukluks?

Anastasia, come on back. Come back. Come back.

We're in the kitchen. We're in the kitchen. You were saying.

The bottom line is I'm not exactly a spring chicken anymore

so who am I to be picky with love?

Who are you? Who are you to be picky with love?

I tell you who, you're Anastasia Devereux.

You're a very special woman,

and you're adored by fans around the world.

Even the ones right here in Pleasant Day.

And I'm talking about your biggest fan.

And when I say your biggest fan.

Vincent, behave.

Okay Anastasia, look.

Bottom line, you're a very special woman.

And you ain't got to settle for no lukewarm cup of tea.

Hell, you ain't go to settle for no man.

-Thank you, Vincent. -Mm-hmm.

-I needed that. -Yeah.

-Lawrence, may I have a word? -Of course.

I was thinking further.

You are a wonderful and kind man,

and you always find ways to cheer me up.

But it's best that we part as friends.

I see.

Does that mean I no longer have to sweat in silence

because you set the thermostat to tropical heat wave?

Yes, and I never again

have to get frostbite in your car.

-Well, Vinny? -Yes.

-It was a pleasure meeting you. -Oh, man. Yeah.

The lovely Anastasia and I have decided to just be friends.

-Oh, OK. -But that free haircut?

-Mm-hmm? -That's still up for grabs.

Whoa, whoa, whoa. I want to ask you something. Look here.

Then I don't get a chance to go to the cooking expo?

That'd be a no.

Your hairline's crooked! You came up short!

Your breath stank! Your feet stink!

Hope you get your mom out of jail soon!

What?

Reginald, darling, what in the world are you doing?

I'm skydiving, what does it look like I'm doing?

Didn't you hear the news?

Your letter threatening my rival

with a social media defamation lawsuit worked.

She publicly admitted that none of what she said

about me abusing animals was true.

So she took full responsibility?

And that's not even the best news.

Lay it on me.

This whole scandal has made Anastasia Devereaux

as popular as ever.

I just got a call from As the Bold and Restless Turn ,

and they officially offered me a guest role

on the number one soap opera in the country, and I accepted!

-Oh, wonderful. -Oh, thank you.

And I am officially offering you

the job as my social media coordinator. What do you say?

I say...

you have just helped me get my car back on the road.

Oh, I love you.
