01x06 - Apologies

[bunniefuu]

MAN: Your former client,
Marissa Baxter,

experienced infidelity in her
relationship with her husband.

Did you encourage her
to stay and work it out?

Infidelity is one of
the hardest things

any couple can face
in a relationship.

MAN: Even though her husband
was a known ab*ser?

I would never counsel anyone
to stay in a relationship

that was dangerous.

MAN: Would you say that you did
your best work

with Marissa and Maxwell?

I wish that there was
a different outcome.

Marissa was m*rder*d by
her husband in your offices

during one
of your counseling sessions.

Maxwell stabbed
his wife Marissa 20 times.

20 times. Tragic death
by her husband.

20 times. 20 times.

Coming.

I'm so sorry, but I can't do
this sh*t anymore.

Marissa. Okay.

You shouldn't be here.
This is not...

He's horrible.
He's f*cking horrible!

Okay. Please have a seat.
All right? Just sit down.

Take a deep breath.

Now tell me,
what did Maxwell do?

Everything. He f*cking
does everything.

I asked him to stop f*cking
these b*tches in that house

because you said
to create boundary lines.

I did. Yes.
Boundaries are good.

Yeah.

Well, he f*cking lost it.

He kept going on and on
about how this was his house.

And how I can't tell him sh*t
about doing whatever his house.

But you are upset
about the cheating.

Yes, he's my husband.

Now, you do realize that him
sleeping with other women

doesn't make him
any less your husband.

Okay? We talked about this.

Yeah.

Well, it makes me feel
like less of a wife.

Dr a ya, don't give me
that therapist bullshit.

We've been seeing you
since before the wedding.

Listen.

You're right.
I am your therapist.

And I... I need to respect
some lines.

Such just have a seat, please.
Why don't you just sit down?

I'm sorry.

I just don't think I can keep
dealing with them

cheating with these other women

and trying to vie
for his attention.

I'm his wife!

You know what I mean?

I just...

I want to be happy,
do sh*t for me.

If he wants them,
and they want him,

then I'm going
to have to leave him, Dr a ya.

[Knocking]

- Dr a ya?
- Hey. Yeah.

Your morning session with the
Dupris started five minutes ago.

Dr a ya, they're in
the orchid room waiting.

Tell them I'll be
right there. Okay?

Thank you.

Okay.

[Exhales deeply]

sh*t.

- We're doing great.
- Look at us.

Oh, my God.
I love this color.

- Alright I love...
- Hi.

I am so sorry.
Please forgive my t*rd.

I had to sneak away
to use the restroom,

and clearly I lost
track of time.

No problem.

You two don't look like you're
allergic to each other today.

No, not allergic.

[Both laugh]

Is that a smile I see
there, Clair?

It is. It really is.

DRAYA: Wow. I really love that.

Please tell me
what's been going on.

Like something just clicked.

I've been trying to work
throughout the day, you know?

So I'm leaving more nights open

for my husband.

Even though his schedule
has been, you know,

a little bit busier
this past week.

But we have gotten through it.

Right, babe?

That good.
Really, really good to hear.

How about you, Lloyd?

It's been good.

Yeah. Yeah?

- Yeah.
- Yeah.

It's been... It's been good.

Have you been anywhere new?

I don't know,
any dates, parties?

♪ Go and act like you own this

Nothing comes to mind.

Parties, that is.

As for dates,

we plan to sneak one in tonight.

I plan on doing more than
sneaking in a date tonight.

- [Chuckles]
- Come on, keep it real.

[Both laugh]

It's been like two or three
times a day.

Shh!

You know, excuse me
for a second.

I had some black coffee
on an empty stomach.

It's not really
agreeing with me.

- Wait. Are you okay?
- I'm be right back, okay?

Thank you, Dr. Dr a ya.
I mean, I love her.

Something up with her, though.

What are you talking about?

DRAYA: Okay.

Okay, now, so tell me,
where were we?

[Laughs]

[Computer chimes]

That was fun, wasn't it?

[Whip cracks, computer chimes]

You liked watching me do that,
didn't you?

Oh.

Do you want more?

You're dismissed.

Q, sorry to walk in
on you like this,

but I wanted
to ask you something.

What's up?

You know what?

Nothing. It's fine.

Actually, I'm a little bit
worried about Dr a ya.

Worried about what?

ADRIENNE: She was late for
the meeting with the Dupris,

and when I walked as her office,
she was just, like, drifting.

- So day dreaming?
- You know what?

You're probably right. She's on
her period or something.

Q, you know,
I could be your wing man.

You don't have to do all that

I'm not online dating.

Sure.

Yes. Yes.

Hey, baby. Baby, I'm so glad
to hear your voice.

Babe, you have no idea.
How are you?

How's your face? Are you okay?

As good as expected.
Have you talked to Ashley?

Reached out to her

Listen,
I think they're behind us.

Yeah, that's why

We need party favors.

Plus, how are we gonna have

enough product to pay Mona back?

TERRELL: Why don't we just

Who are you telling? Me too?

So I ain't going to lie.

This week has been
so rough for me.

Has it been for you?

Uh, yeah, actually, it has.

You know,
every week without Keith,

it gets harder and harder.

But, um, I never thought I'd
find myself in this situation.

GINA: I can't even imagine.

What about you?

It's been crazy as hell,
but that's my life every day.

Where is the waiter?

Hey, there.

So I have to go to the restroom.

But I wanted to just
order the fillet.

Y'all don't have to rush.
I'll be right back.

Okay.

So I'm going to have, yes, the
salad with the salmon, please.

I'm sorry. Can I help you?

Haven't I seen you
at the penthouse before?

I don't know
what you're talking about.

I need you to leave.

Well, I don't know about you,
but this looks like you.

Look, I know what kind of sh*t
you're trying to pull,

but this is not the place.

And I know what this video
can do for you

and your wife's career,
so I'll be frank.

I need your help.

Well, I mean,
I need you to help me

- How much?
- Money is not what I need.

Well, what is it you want?

My colleagues are gonna
return any minute.

There's an inmate,
Lincoln Davidson.

He's up for parole.

If his a*s gets out,
it'll be a lot of sh*t

for everybody,
so I need him to stay in there.

That's not the way
the system works.

I just can't
deny parole for anyone.

Sure you can.

Well, I mean, you know what?
Never mind.

Fine.
What's his name again?

Lincoln Davidson.

Got it.

Good.

Oh, and you should try
the fillet. It's very good.

I heard you like beef.

We were worried about you.
Thought maybe you fell in.

Oh, no, I just saw
someone I knew.

You know how that goes.

Oh, trust me, I do.

So, what's been going on?
How's business?

Grab anything new lately?

Actually, business has been
really good for me.

I don't think I've made
this much money since...

Well, I've never made
this much money, actually.

Yeah, it's good because
it's come at a time

when I really needed it.

Yeah, I can definitely relate.
What about you?

Me, I'm just waiting for them
to renew my contract.

Can you believe
these people think I'm boring?

sh*t. I am boring.

Oh, stop. You're not.

So, the penthouse is good?
Nothing crazy going on?

Like what?

I'm just making conversation.

So you guys watch "Housewives"?

It's cartoons for me.

What's not going on?

I've just really been

I keep thinking about Marissa.

Oh, I can only imagine
that does not get easier.

And after my interview
with Chris, I mean,

I just keep thinking,
did I do enough?

Dr a ya, it is not your fault
Marissa is dead.

What if it is?

Oh, excuse me.
I've been waiting for this call.

Um...

DRAYA: Hi. I was
beginning to think

that you forgot about me.

CHERISE: I could never.

Okay. Well, tell me
some good news, then.

Great news. Now, I couldn't
get you a whole show,

given that interview before last
was a bit of a sh*t show

for the network,
but I was able to get you

Wait. Hold up.

The parties are moving a little
bit slower than usual,

so we have some product

but it will get sold.

And when it does,
you'll get your money.

We're even considering upping
the price a little bit.

Oh, you going up the price?

- Yes.
- Alright. Good.

Because I'm going up

And since we good friends, sis,

I'm going to give you a week

is the best thing.

Thank you for flying in.

I'll see you shortly.

These b*tches got the money.

Do they have a coke?

I don't know. Maybe somebody
broke in and stole it.

I can't think about
that right now.

Here.

- What is it?
- Put this in that phone,

and it becomes a burner.

You send the message.

After we're done, we wipe it
clean, and we burn it.

Sounds easy enough.

Then I'm going to ask the girls
to meet me at the penthouse

for brunch
so we can all be together

when the message comes through,
easy enough.

All right.
Should I send it to you?

- Yes.
- Yeah. Okay.
