01x06 - I Exist Only for Me

[bunniefuu]

[Cristal] Previously on Dynasty:

Your father offered me the COO position.

That was mine. With Jeff's backing, 1 will be chief strategy officer of Carrington Windbriar.

I've recently started my own company which I am building up on my own.

I thought we were building this together. I need to rethink if Morell Corp is the company I wanna be part of.

Cristal Carrington sex tape? Is that real?

-[Fallon] Oh, it's real. -You leaked the tape?

Let me be the first to toast Fallon Carrington.

-Oh! -I want you out of this house.

Kori, this is Michael Culhane. He's a friend.

-A single friend? -Kori hates me because I was a b*tch.

[Culhane] You're a human bulldozer. You'll crush anyone.

What I did was wrong. Not just my relationship with Matthew, but continuing the lie after he died.

It was no accident! You k*lled my husband!

[Blake] Has Cristal gone to bed?

-She's paying Mrs. Blaisdel a visit. -I have to get over there.

-[Claudia] What are you doing here? -Can I speak with you?

My husband is dead.

You are gonna pay for the pain that you caused.

[Claudia yelps]

[phone rings]

[Anders] Carrington Residence.

Oh, that is encouraging, sir.

No, just me and the man-child.

Of course.

I don't know if you can hear me over the sound of your digestive tract.

Be relieved to know Mr. Carrington and your aunt will be home soon.

Claudia Blaisdel is stable.

What a nightmare. I'll light a candle at church.

Cristal say if she was gonna be home in time to take me shopping?

She failed to mention that. I see you've taken my advice to heart.

-Is that a résumé? -In progress.

Bilingual. I suppose you are. I'm not sure about "drug and disease-free."

-You're supposed to add flourishes. -You should add "wizard of lies."

-Not a flourish. -Good morning to you, too.

Supposed to go over grant proposals with Dad.

-Is he still at the hospital? -Home soon.

Wait 30 minutes after eating before you challenge your father.

You might get a cramp.

Or thrown out like your sister.

You told me you weren't going to hate me, but might wanna tell your face.

There's a hell of a lot of distance between hate and friendship.

You've got some miles to go.

-Well, party's over. -I've been kicked out for less.

No, your protest cost Dad hundreds of millions of dollars, not to mention legal fees. What I did was a prank.

Kids pull pranks. You weaponized a sex tape of Dad's wife.

-You're lucky they're not suing. -Lucky? I have to live at the Ritz.

Before you get your martyr status verified, you might wanna remember it wasn't just Cristal you betrayed.

-You're siding with Daddy? -You so were focused on hurting Cristal, you didn't think about our relationship?

Being out on my own really helped me grow up.

Yet you're at the same company you criticized?

The company takes. The foundation gives.

I've got a chance to course correct our legacy, but I wouldn't expect you to understand the concept of greater good.

Steven.

[door closes]

Can someone please help me with my bags?

Surprised you came. Didn't think you could spare time from your self-promotion tour.

And I didn't realize you held grudges.

We were just leaving. I'm busy scouting new investments.

Don't you think assets take priority?

That what you think you are to me? Morell Corp feels more like a liability.

Could you excuse us for a minute?

[man] Of course.

I realize that we aren't profitable yet, but we will be very soon.

You keep saying that, but beyond profits, I'm worried about us.

-What do you mean, us? -Exactly.

I'm not sure I should be in business with you at all.

The answer is yes.

Let's talk later, okay? Have LaNique try and fit you in my schedule.

I hope it won't make the launch party awkward.

-What launch party? -To introduce us to the energy community.

Government regulators, partners, international buyers, people we need

-to be in business with. -We?

Did you just come up with this idea?

I've been thinking about it for the last two minutes.

Look, Jeff. This is the only thing going right in my life, okay?

That's why I've taken so much ownership, but I want this for you, too.

I'm committed to you. Just let me prove it.

Last shot.

Thank you.

Last thing, the party is at your house ‘cause I got kicked out of mine.

Yeah, it's been over 12 hours. Besides donating a kidney, I don't think there's anything more we can do.

Maybe give her a friendly face when she wakes up.

You saved her from that Obamacare waiting room nightmare.

-I think we're covered. -Blake, a check isn't enough this time.

-We have to be by Claudia's side. -We need to make sure this woman, who has proven to be volatile, doesn't sue us for half of Carrington Atlantic, or put me in jail for attempted vehicular homicide.

Shh.

If the Carringtons are here, this must be my funeral.

You're in a suite at the hospital, Claudia.

-How are you feeling? -Like someone hit me with 3000 pounds of European metal.

We can get you pain medication. A morphine drip?

No, I can't have morphine. Did they not tell you?

[door opens]

-Oh, Danzette, thank you for coming in. -Well, any friend of yours.

Uh, we should be able to get you out by this afternoon.

-Wait, that seems so fast. -Her, uh, injuries are minor.

Bone bruises will take a while to heal, but, uh, most importantly, baby's fine.

-Baby? -She's pregnant?

-Why didn't you tell us? -With Matthew's death, I wasn't rushing

-to put out birth announcements. -I'll get the discharge papers started.

You have someone to drive you home?

-We'll take her home to the manor. -What?

-No, she has help. -Not the same as a house full of people to care for her. Just until you recuperate.

Our histories aside, you have someone else to think about now. It's settled.

You're staying with us.

[Cristal] Anything ours is yours, and whatever else you may need, these are the people that can get it.

-I don't think this is a good idea. -Nonsense. Put her in the east wing.

We'll be right down the hall.

[man] This way, Ms. Blaisdel.

-Burn this. -[Cristal] Anders.

We can find her another sweater, dip it in oatmeal.

Quite an array of strays you're collecting.

The responsible thing would be to spay and neuter them.

-Anders, Claudia is pregnant. -Oh, God.

I hope she doesn't stay till the birth. I am long past my diapering days.

[Blake] I'm with Claudia. This was a terrible idea.

Yeah. You've only mentioned it five times now.

I thought we had closed the door on all things Matthew and Claudia

-so we could move on. -Then you ran her over.

Claudia is pregnant. Does that mean nothing to you?

Not unless it's mine.

I'm just concerned this woman is unwell.

-A liability. -More reason why we look after her.

Have you considered why she would agree to move in?

If it were me, I'd be looking for dirt I could use against us.

That's because you're enterprising. Claudia is alone. We owe her.

-l want to do this. -Well, I don't know how you can.

I can't spare my COO to become a full-time caregiver.

I am a modern woman, Blake.

I can handle it all.

Your office is coming together. Only you would plan a party in 24 hours just to prove a point.

It's a launch party. It's supposed to be fast.

-Why are you doing it? -Give the company attention, -to woo new clients. -Mm-hm.

-Why are you always "mm-hm'ing"” me? -Strange coincidence that you flake out on my brother.

Then Kori hooks up with this driver, who you are not having sex with, and suddenly you're refocused on Jeff.

-You go where the attention is. -That's so off.

Mm-hm.

-You gonna help me plan this or no? -Okay.

Where's Caroline Corpuz?

And Marc Hidoko? Or any of Jeff's contacts?

I need to control the vibe, introduce him to bigwigs.

Jeff took losses in the startup space, which makes his former clients losers.

And you could be one of them.

Plus this is tech. Losers turn into winners with one idea.

Fine. I'll invite Jeff's contacts.

See? You can be a team player. Next week, we'll work on tact.

Mm-hm.

[chuckles]

You might wanna be sober for this one.

I see Haitian wells and carbon eaters. Where are my conservative charities?

I wanna take the foundation in a new direction. Left.

Why am I not surprised?

We were already doing a lot of good, but you couldn't see that through the fake news swirling around your liberal bubble.

Nothing fake about homelessness, uh, climate change, police brutality.

There's no cure for laziness, propaganda and ignorance.

That may be the worst thing I've heard you say.

I don't know what kind of monster you think I am. Maybe I do.

The foundation was growing while you were on your socialist Rumspringa.

Just because I was out in the world doesn't mean I was playing games.

And there's no reason for you to start now.

[scoffs]

If your charities do all this great work, pitch them to me.

Be their advocate.

Let's hear all about where your money goes, if you even know.

I've been in sales the past 30 years.

I've been managing this charity since before you were born.

You wanna challenge me on both? I'll show you I'm right.

-Are you gonna make me a diorama? -No, I'm gonna let you see how these charities work, then you can judge.

[Cristal] Hi.

There you are.

I called in, had them clear my schedule so I could show you around.

Great. You can give me a tour of the Ming dynasty.

Are these urns filled with other people that Blake has run over?

So, what can I show you? It took me a while to get my bearings here.

1 got lost in the wine cellar and ended up on the sh**ting range.

Champagne problems, I guess.

Mine are a lot less complicated.

And I'm here because it makes sense for my recovery, not to make you feel better.

-[dog barking] -Oh, hi, Bo.

Hi.

I wasn't really a dog person before, but Bo has stolen my heart.

He follows me everywhere.

Must be nice to have a dog you don't have to clean up after.

I'm sure you have people for that, with your army of staff.

That's another thing to get used to, especially when you grow up working class like us.

Right?

We have so much in common.

[cell phone buzzing]

Uh, I gotta get this. It's work. Excuse me.

-Cristal Carrington. -[Sammy Jo] I can't. I'm busy.

Sam, I gotta go in. There was a leak on a rig.

I need to coordinate the environmental response, reroute supply.

Take the crazy lady with you.

Can't. I told Blake I'd be responsible for her, but I wouldn't shirk my job.

So, you're asking me to babysit? I need a real job, and I have a better chance in something couture.

Right now, this is your job. Keep Claudia company, make her comfortable, give her whatever she wants.

-How much does crazy-sitting pay? -Damn it, Sam.

-Nothing's free, tia. -Right.

Just the roof over your head and an all-you-can-eat buffet, but fine.

Consider this your expense account. Do not tell Blake.

Here's her pill schedule.

You have to really keep an eye on her, okay? She is a handful.

-The best cure for crazy is crazy money. -Do not get carried away.

Me? Never.

Oh, you.

-What? Is it too much? -All of it's too much.

They're getting paid. They do not mind. And how often do you get to see

-how the 1 percent lives? -Or how they live with themselves?

No, I can't.

[Sammy Jo] Babies are such a drag.

Listen. If anyone should be taking advantage of all this, it's you.

They hit you with their rich-people car. Take what you deserve.

It's payback.

Mm.

[pop music playing, woman singing in Spanish]

[inaudible dialogue]

[laughing]

I don't remember the last time I had actual fun.

My head is spinning.

I think I forgot to give you your pills.

Kidding. You can see how people get addicted to this.

I mean, imagine living like this every day.

I can't even imagine. Your aunt must have a fabulous closet.

Oh, it's bigger than the apartment I grew up in.

Wanna see it?

[rock music playing over speakers]

Should've figured the foundation would support a boxing club.

I know. You thought you were headed to an NRA youth self-defense course.

In your wheelhouse.

Been helping Meadowlark Athletic Club over ten years, donated over a million.

I have mixed feelings about children boxing.

-Miracle I didn't end with brain damage. -Explains how you ended up a liberal.

I'm serious.

Which is why we never make contact without headgear.

I'm Phil. I'm the director here.

Blake's got me up to speed. Be prepared for me to lay it on thick.

No need. I can see the value in a place like this, but the sport--

It's changing lives for the better. Prime example is Rudy over here.

Before she came, she was bullied so bad she wasn't eating.

Luckily, she landed here, learned how to box.

Not to knock out bullies, but to take back the power they stole.

Hey, Rudy. Rudy, I wanna introduce you to two of our club's biggest donors, Blake and Steven Carrington.

Impressive footwork.

You think the feet are nice? See me throw these hands.

-[Phil] Got a fight tomorrow. -Watch me whoop up on this little girl.

-Count me in. -Got to love a girl with confidence.

A few rounds with me would be tough, I should stick you with her.

[Claudia] This is Cristal's closet?

Coco Chanel said, "Look at yourself in the mirror and take at least one thing off before you leave."

I say add five more. How about a hat?

Yes! We wear the same size shoes.

Let's see.

Final touch.

Yes, work.

-Where's Cristal? -Uh...

Uh, Cristal told me to give Claudia anything

-and I was just following her-- -Is that my watch?

Relax. I wasn't gonna steal it.

[Claudia] I'm sorry. This was my idea.

I shouldn't have gone into your wife's things.

It's been a long time since I've dressed up, and it was silly really, like kids in a closet.

I forgot about the rest of the world for a moment.

It was nice to forget.

It's okay.

I'm sorry.

No, it's all right.

You've been through a lot. Let's get you back to your room.

Oh...

No, no.

You keep it.

You're beautiful.

Okay.

I've been getting texts. People are excited to come out.

Here's the menu. The chef's a friend, I got the mixologist from Establishment.

[sighs] Nice. And the guest list?

We should add Johnny Davis and Brayden Webb.

I heard they were in town. They founded--

Yeah, I know who they are. Tried to poach them when I was at CA.

I took them to Staplehouse's and they turned me down. I went ballistic.

-I'm surprised you didn't hear about it. -It was in the story Fast Company did.

About you threatening to eat one alive and crush the other into nerd sauce.

Okay. I'm not wrong. These guys think pocket protectors are high fashion.

They developed a super-efficient battery we need desperately for energy storage at Windbriar.

-I try not to operate from desperation. -Yeah? Well, I want them there.

It's on you. What's more important, your pride or this company?

[knocking on door]

Claudia, just checking to see how you're settling in.

Well as can be, given the circumstances.

Life's so strange to have you, of all people, taking care of me.

Well, we're all happy to be in a position to help.

A year ago we didn't know each other.

A few days ago, I would've been at your throat.

Life can turn on a dime. Change your world.

-Especially getting pregnant. -I can only imagine.

You live in a mansion with a staff of servants to help.

-I'm all alone at this now. -You're not alone.

You're not my friend or my family.

I'm so sorry. I know Matthew would've been an amazing--

Father? Right. I bet you don't even think that this is his baby.

No need to call Maury because even though we lived our separate lives, we still came home to the same bed and never stopped sleeping together.

Oh, does that surprise you?

Or does it drive you crazy knowing that there is a piece of him inside me, a piece you can't steal.

-It was never my intention-- -To take him away from me?

How can you say that? You almost did.

He told me he was leaving me. Now I know it was for you.

-When did he say that? -You have everything!

-I have nothing. I don't have a husband. -You're emotional.

Wasn't it enough you had this? You had to have Matthew, too?

-I'm sorry. I'm sorry! -Just get out! I said get out!

[shouting]

Maybe you were right, Claudia shouldn't be with us.

Clearly, she needs more help than we can give her.

Go ahead and say, "I told you so."

Actually, after seeing Claudia when she was with Sam, I think your initial instinct was right.

She needs more than a caregiver. She needs connection.

You didn't see what she just did.

No, but to be fair, you did mention Matthew.

-She didn't need a reminder. -I didn't mean to upset her.

Considering her fragility, physical and emotional--

Wow. I can't believe you're spouting emotional truths.

Neither can I.

Look, you got me talking empathy and compassion, and Claudia staying here.

Stop rubbing off on me.

-Great fight, Rudy. How you feeling? -Hungry.

-Sounds good to me. -All right.

Stansfield?

[dance music playing over speakers]

Every major player under 40 in energy is in this room right now.

The table is certainly set.

Even manned up and got me my tech twins.

They look like they could use an apology.

I wouldn't wait. It'd be rude not to greet the guests first.

-Hello. Hello, everybody. -[man] Hey, Fallon.

Welcome. I would like to be the first to welcome you to Jeff Colby's house.

[crowd cheering]

I have a very important announcement. Jeff and I are having a baby.

Technically we already did, the Morell Green Energy Corporation.

While it's not a literal baby, this new venture means just as much to me.

I am proud to introduce you to my new family.

Starting with my brilliant partner, a man who trusted me with his money, his brand, the only man I would trust with my baby, Jeff Colby.

Come on up here.

[man] There he is.

Now, let's make one thing clear.

This is not your daddy's energy company.

We're fueled by life, water, wind, sun, the natural unfiltered elements of this planet, and we will use those elements to power your very futures.

The next generation.

The Morell Corp, we're about new energy and that's our theme for today.

So, let's get this party charged up.

[crowd cheering]

Smashing a crystal vase? [chuckles] No confusing the message there.

There's some friction between the missus and mistress.

And maybe I can smooth things over.

-I'm quite a gracious host. -I know. I saw the receipts.

Forgiveness ain't cheap. You're lucky that's all it cost.

How did you max out an unmaxable credit card?

We can find out if you want me to keep playing nice with crazy.

[Claudia] No, Bo! Stop, no, Bo.

Stop.

I dropped my pills and Bo started eating them before I could pick them up.

-Oh, my God. -Who knows what those pills will do?

-Sam, help me take Bo to the car. -Let's go.

What happened?

Take Claudia upstairs. We're taking Bo to the vet.

["Universe" playing over speakers]

So, you're telling me you're not upset that Kori showed up?

That she rode in on that stallion that you are not having sex with.

I'm fine they're here. 1 didn't even notice them coming in.

-Mm-hm. -Just drop it, okay?

-Okay. -This house is freaking amazing, Jeff.

-An original, right? -Better be for what I paid for it.

I'm more of an abstract Expressionism man myself, but even I like that.

Then you've got good taste.

Of course bae's got good taste. He's with me.

♪ Universe you're hiding deep insides Fal, you might wanna slow down.

Not unless I speed up on something stronger.

-Want anything from the bar? -No, I'm good.

-[man] Hey, Fallon. -Hello.

Oh, you made it.

Yup. We brought a bottle to celebrate. Our stock's over $10 a share.

You said we'd never get over 6.50 without Carrington Atlantic behind us.

I remember what I said, Webb, Davis or whichever.

I don't have time to reminisce about the past.

Today is about the future.

There you go.

[sighs] Hi.

-Hi. -Hi, Fallon.

Your nose looks great.

-[woman] So, how have you been? -[man] Very good. And you?

-Nice party. Surprised I got an invite. -I'm surprised you brought a date.

-Cling much? -Obsess much?

Or could you feel the vibe?

Oh, I'm not concerned about your relationship.

Since you asked, Michael's taking me on vacation.

It'd be nice to get away from his boss. We're going to Miami.

-Well, if you last that long. -Don't be bitter.

Must've known your chauffer- with-benefits situation had no future.

This is true love? I doubt he'd recognize you if you weren't on all fours.

Look who's talking. Little Miss THOT-a-lot.

Ever think you never went out in public with Michael because he didn't wanna be seen with you?

I like to get the last word, but tonight's not about baggage.

It's about business, I hope you and I can still do business in the future.

Excuse me.

[toilet flushes]

-No need to put that away. -What are you doing?

I could ask the same. Didn't think you had it in you to be petty, coming to my party. You did a great job of making me jealous.

-I'm on a date with my girlfriend. -You did this to get a rise out of me.

-I'm gonna get a rise out of you. -Fallon, stop.

You're ridiculous. Sex isn't gonna get you out of this.

Your mouth says no, your friend seems interested.

You may not have respect for yourself, but I've got respect for Kori.

Whatever you came here to do, it's not happening.

You never asked me to go to Miami.

You never introduced me to Blake as your boyfriend.

-Because he'd fire you. -Maybe I'd get another job.

Don't pretend you care now, Fallon. You didn't catch feelings overnight.

You seriously think I never cared?

-What were you doing in the bathroom? -Nothing.

-That was a pretty convincing faux-job. -Kori, please.

Obviously, you two are used to playing games and I'm not.

-And I won't. -I know.

Things are moving fast between us, but I know who you are.

I know I'm lucky to be with you. No way that I'd throw that away for two minutes in the bathroom with Fallon.

She was just putting on a show.

Let's get out of here.

I wanna show you how much trouble you can get into in my bathroom.

Our nerds are looking lonely.

You boys ready for that drink?

I see someone's unwinding from a rough day at the office.

[woman moans]

I told you. COO and babysitting would be difficult to juggle.

You handled yourself impeccably.

Everything you've done for Claudia, you really are Wonder Woman.

[Claudia gasps]

Claudia, what are you doing? Why are you in my bathtub?

I don't know.

I'm so sorry. I'm so embarrassed.

I don't remember getting in here.

-Don't be mad. -I'm not mad, just surprised.

Why didn't you say something?

I don't know.

Thank you.

You're so kind.

Cristal is so lucky.

Blake?

Blake?

-What the hell is going on? -[Claudia gasps]

[rap music playing over speakers]

For you finally giving us the time of day.

Not that one shot will rebuild the bridge you burned.

Oh, men and their emotions.

All I wanna know is, what do I have to do to get you guys to say yes to sharing your tech with Morell Corp?

-Ugh, that's vile. -It would taste better with nerd sauce.

-This is where you apologize. -It's not gonna happen.

You guys are like the Kanyes of Silicon Valley.

Great at tech. Everything else, not so much.

Marketing, you didn't pivot when the company did.

Design, clumsy at best.

PR, you're too busy focusing on that hunk of metal and not your sweet, adorable faces. You get all that straight, -you might be able to make real money. -I think we've had enough.

[Fallon] No, no, no. They've had enough.

-We're just getting started. -Let's go.

♪ ‘Cause I'm-a show you how To take one back ♪

♪ Triple up and make it three back ♪

-How did it even happen? -I thought it was you.

It wasn't. While you were making out, I was getting her pills pumped out of your bloodhound's stomach.

Come on, Cristal. I'm not stupid enough to sleep with a guest when my wife could walk in at any minute.

Or ever. You were right, and I was right the first time before.

I got swept up in emotion. 1 will never let that happen again.

This woman is unhinged and she keeps proving it more every day.

The fact is, she needs more help than we can provide.

And I'm sorry, we can't protect every broken bird that lands on our windowsill.

She's not a bird.

She's a woman whose life I ruined.

She is sick, and she needs to be somewhere where there's 24-hour medical care provided by a professional.

Not her dead husband's ex-mistress.

I just wanted to help.

Sure this crusade doesn't have more to do with your feelings for Matthew?

A part of Matthew is gonna live on in his child, -a child the two of you never had. -Blake.

I'm sure at some point you thought about it. That's okay.

But it's not okay for you to keep this woman in our lives because you're clinging to memories.

I'll tell her it's time to move on.

It's the best thing for all of us.

Drink this.

Slowly.

-This is water. It's not vodka. -[scoffs] I know.

Put this on.

Oh. [chuckling]

You think you're slick.

You finally got a chance to seduce me.

[Fallon laughing]

Hey. Where'd you get these bugles?

I mean, bulges.

Fallon, no.

You're drunk.

So?

Okay, fine.

Fine. Just leave me here like everyone else.

Just walk away, like my dad, like my stupid mom, like Culhane.

Whatever happened to Fallon "I exist only for me" Carrington?

Is that what people think?

-Am I really that unlovable? -Of course not.

But then why does everyone always abandon me?

I'm still here.

Sorry I've been avoiding you.

-I don't know what to say anymore. -No, I-- I'm the one who's sorry.

I should've said something the second Blake came in.

-I didn't-- -No need to discuss it.

Just know that everything you're doing is appreciated.

And I know it is no excuse for what happened, but part of having traumatic brain injury, it's not just confusion, but loss of inhibition and impulse control--

I want what's best for you, Claudia. At this point, the best thing for you is not staying here at the Carrington Manor.

But living someplace where they can fully take care of you.

You want me to leave?

No, I can't. I'm afraid to be alone.

I'm afraid that my condition is getting worse.

I'm bringing a baby into this world I don't feel capable of raising.

You will have nurses and your family, and I know you will love this baby.

Finding the love isn't the question. It never is for women, right?

We give, and we give, and we give, and-- Until it breaks us.

I don't want all that giving to break me.

You're stronger than you know. We all are.

What if I'm not?

This is an amazing life that you have, one that I could never provide for my child.

And I know it is a huge ask and I probably sound super-crazy right now, but would you consider raising this baby with me?

We don't have any fights today. You're back for lessons?

Not exactly. I'm interested in one of your donors.

-Oh, which one? -Chief Stansfield.

I saw his photo over there.

He's the best. He's on the board, treasurer last couple years, donates much of his time.

-Great guy. -He's the one who got Blake involved.

Convinced your dad to give the club 250K per year.

-I thought it was a million. -[chuckles]

It's all incremental when you're a billionaire.

I can't imagine what we'd do with a million bucks. I'd take a vacation.

Hey, hey, hey, come on, fellas. Break it up.

Come on, bring it in.

Hey, it's Steven.

When you get into the office, can you pull the books for last year?

Yeah, there's a couple of numbers I wanna check.

I brought you a little something to speed up your recovery.

But you seem pretty chipper.

-Did we...? -Oh, if we did, you'd remember.

[groans]

I was pretty wasted.

Last thing I remember was railing on those two d*uche nerds.

Liquor wouldn't let me stop.

Can't blame you for dissolving Morell Corp now.

You kidding? Davis asked for an autograph, and Webb wanted to propose. They love you.

Really? I thought I called them two geeky Puff Daddies.

Kanyes. But they loved your advice.

Thought it would add value to their company.

They wanna license their battery tech to us for under market value.

-You brought it home. -No.

They were sold the minute they saw your name.

Your reputation is what saved this company. It was all you.

It was us.

I mean, you are pretty lovable.

And we're family now.

I'm not gonna leave you. At least not until we make my money back.

-You'll love me too much to let me go. -You're welcome to stay as long as you need to figure out your situation. It's not the Ritz, but the place is so big, we can be on opposite wings and never even see each other.

Unless we want to.

[Sammy Jo] Booty, bubbles, and nothing else?

Sounds more like Single White Female than Hand That Rocks the Cradle.

She asked me to raise Matthew's baby with her.

I mean, how crazy is that?

Tell me some part of you didn't start decorating a nursery.

Please. I'd need a serious brain injury to agree to that.

No. It is full steam ahead for her moving out.

Hello?

Vet. Yeah.

Well, I hope it's good news.

You seem okay to me.

Are you sure?

Okay, thanks.

He said that the medicine Bo ate won't cause side effects.

Oh, thank God.

They ran tests. Claudia's pills aren't right.

-What do you mean? -The bottle doesn't match the pills.

She's supposed to be taking phen-a-something, he said, but she's been taking benzos.

So, did the doctors screw up or the pharmacist?

Or it wasn't a screwup at all.

Maybe I was wrong and this isn't a '90s stalker-girl thriller.

Maybe it's more Hitchcock.

-What if someone switched the pills? -Someone who and why?

Someone who wanted to make sure Claudia didn't get better.

The pills are supposed to help her think clearly, right?

Help her memory.

So, maybe there's something they'd rather she forget.
