Kevin!
Kevin! Kevin!
Oh, no.
No...
No...
Drea...
Oh, my God, Ali.
I'm so sorry.
We're sorry, too,
but the doctor said
that we can try again,
which is exactly what
we're gonna do, right, Kevin?
I, um...
I-I don't know
if I can do this again.
Yes, you can do this.
We can do it together.
I need you, Kevin.
A great marriage.
A family.
That's what we said
we always wanted, right?
Right.
I promise I'm gonna
give you that one day.
Okay?
Yeah.
Okay.
You two...
are in this together.
You got this.
Yeah.
Yeah.
We got this.
We got this.
Hey, Kevin,
where's my ice cream?
Here you go, sweetheart.
Thank you, baby.
Mm...
Oh, who is that?
Just Ben.
Yeah.
Did you leave Cody outside?
Sorry.
Pregnancy brain.
It's fine.
I'll go get him.
Before you eat all of it...
Mm!
All right.
See you in a bit.
Cody!
Cody!
Where are you, boy?
Oh, this dog...
Cody!
Where are you?
Cody...
Cody?
Hey.
Kevin?
Are you ready?
Almost there.
Ready.
Then let's do this.
Let's do this.
Everything looks great.
Lamar is pleased.
Okay, you two, give me a 360.
Really?
Yep. Manager's rule,
so twirl, please.
Fine.
Brava.
Let's sh**t!
Three, two, one, and...
action.
Hey, hey, family...
...And friends.
It's your favorite...
...cooking twins.
I'm Ali.
And I'm Drea,
and this is...
-Double The Recipe!
-Double The Recipe!
...where we take
one ingredient...
...But provide you
with two recipes
featuring that ingredient...
...Allowing two different
taste experiences...
...At the same time.
Well, that's our time!
Until next time...
...Where we'll bring another
featured ingredient...
...And allow you
to watch and see,
then we will both...
-Double The Recipe!
-Double The Recipe!
And we're out!
That was great, ladies.
-Thank you, Lamar.
-Thank you, Lamar.
Oh, don't thank me.
Remember,
when you two look good,
I, Lamar, look great,
so thank you.
Well, in that case,
you're welcome.
Now that we're back
into full swing,
there's a few things
I wanna go over
your jammed-pack schedules.
Okay, let's hear it.
Well, starting with
the Orangeburg Business Summit.
You know, the guys
that cut the check
for this fabulous
production office we're in.
Very familiar.
Well, they've requested
that one of you attend
their business summit
this weekend.
Oh, okay, I'll go.
You went last year.
Actually,
they've requested Ali.
Oh, okay.
Is there any specific reason
that they requested Ali?
No, not that I'm aware of,
but if you were to ask me,
I would say
it probably has something
to do with the fact
that Ali here was dancing
on top of the table
at their staff party.
Uh, so I've heard.
Okay, guilty as charged.
That's funny.
There was a time
when table-dancing
got you benched,
not booked.
Ouch.
I'm sorry.
I didn't mean it.
You should go.
You're the best choice for this.
Okay.
I'll go then.
Great.
Now that we've got that settled,
I've got
some really exciting news
for the both of you.
I talked to
a very successful investor
who's a huge fan
of
Double The Recipe
,
and he's considering
doing business with us.
Successful investor?
I'm liking this.
Yes, continue.
Well, he wants to go for dinner
this evening at 6:00
to get a feel of who you are
individually,
as well as as a pair.
No...
I can't go tonight at 6:00.
I've got a hot date.
Listen, I know
this is last minute,
but Brad leaves the country
tomorrow,
so it's now or never.
Fine.
I will push the date
back a few hours.
Late-night dates
are sexier anyway.
You are too kind.
I know.
Oh, uh, Drea?
Are you sure you're okay?
First day back after everything.
You've been through
hell and back
since our last season.
You know, most people
wouldn't be here,
but you?
You're standing.
You're... you're working.
You're smiling for the cameras.
That's strength,
that's inspiring.
If you say so.
Hey, are you kidding me?
Just out there today,
it was like you never left,
but if you need more time,
just say the word.
Lamar, I'm fine.
I promise.
Thank you.
No need.
Just remember, I'm...
I'm always here for you.
Okay.
Come here.
Oh.
Thank you.
Look,
I don't like the brand
the two of you
have built so far.
I actually love it,
and I want to take it
to the next level.
Next level?
Cookbooks, cookware,
seasonings.
All of that building
to
Double The Recipe
on a bigger network.
Sound good?
-Sounds great.
-Sounds great.
Good.
For now, I'd like to dig into
who you are,
on a deeper level.
Hmm... Like?
Like, um...
Who's the oldest twin?
Oh, I am.
We were born
22 seconds apart.
Oh, interesting.
Yeah, our parents told us
that when I was born,
I kept my hand balled in a fist
until they placed Drea
next to me,
and then I opened my fist.
And I grabbed her hand.
And we've been
holding each other's hands
ever since.
Love that.
You mentioned your parents.
Are you two close to them?
Um...
our parents died
in a car accident
about five years ago.
Oh. I'm sorry to hear that.
It's okay.
Losing them,
as sad as it may seem,
it brought us closer together.
That's beautiful.
That bond is what keeps people
coming back to your show
week after week.
So, uh... relationships,
marriage, kids--
is that in the cards?
Well...
I've actually been divorced
for over a year now.
We were told that we couldn't
conceive naturally.
That must be hard.
I believe things happen
the way they're meant to.
You know, the right man,
the right moment.
You put it out there,
and the universe
is gonna bring it back to you.
I appreciate you sharing that.
Considering
you're investing in us,
I think you should know
the good, the bad, and the ugly.
Drea is right.
Transparency matters,
and since we're being real,
I've never pictured myself
being a wife or a mother.
That's just not my lane.
She's only saying that
because she doesn't want
to have toys
all over the house
and things out of place,
that would send
her over the edge.
She's not wrong.
I like things tidy.
You know, I can tell
if something's been moved
before I even touch it.
Listen.
You two have clearly
been through a lot,
but it shows in how strong
the two of you are.
Keep doing your thing.
This time next year,
things will look
very different for all of us.
Cheers then to us.
Drea!
I'm on my way to meet my date!
Okay!
Love you!
Don't wait up!
You know, you didn't
have to do that today.
Do what?
You made such a fuss over Ali,
in front of Drea.
It was her birthday.
It was
their
birthday.
It's just that Ali...
she's easier.
She doesn't make me feel like
I'm doing it wrong.
They're seven years old, Tina.
They're not supposed to be easy.
They're supposed to be loved.
I've tried, Wes.
God knows I've tried
to love them the same,
to feel the same,
but no matter what I do,
my heart just goes to Ali first.
Drea...
Hey...
Drea, I thought I told you
not to wait up for me.
How come I'm never enough?
Oh, Drea.
No, Ali,
don't try to make me
think anything different.
I mean, you know, and I know
that no one ever chooses me.
Not our mom,
not our friends,
not Kevin.
Kevin was cheater and a liar.
I stood right there
in the hospital
when he took your hand
and said, "We got this,"
and still walked away
the second he found an easy out.
Kevin didn't choose you, Drea,
because he was too busy
choosing himself.
No, Ali.
He didn't choose me,
because he found someone better,
and not broken,
and then he went and gave her
the life I wanted.
The life that I deserved.
Drea...
I hate to say it...
but I'm glad that he's gone.
I am.
Well, if that's how you feel,
I'm glad you can say it.
There's no judgment.
Yeah, I guess I just needed
to say it out loud...
...but the truth is,
no one deserves
to die like that.
Guess I'm just angry.
You know what else you are?
Amazing,
and one day,
you're gonna find the guy
that will give you
the life you deserve,
and when that happens...
nothing, and no one,
will stand in your way.
You wanted to see me?
Yeah.
I heard back from Brad,
and he's definitely
interested in doing business.
Yes!
With just you.
What?
What do-What do you--
What do you mean, just me?
He was fawning
over both of us last night.
Yeah, well,
welcome to show business.
People smile at you over dinner,
then slide the knife in
when dessert comes.
The show is called
"Double The Recipe", Lamar.
There is no me without Drea.
And I told him that,
but maybe you should at least
talk to Drea.
I mean, this could be huge
for you--
No!
I said,
there's no me without Drea,
end of story.
Okay.
I hear you.
Hi. What can I get you?
You know, I am in the mood
for something sweet but healthy.
What would you recommend?
I know just the thing.
Our blueberry-almond muffins.
It's my grandmother's recipe,
and everyone around here
swears by it.
Okay, you had me
at "grandmother's recipe".
I'll have one of those
along with an Americano.
For Drea, please.
Great. You can have a seat.
I'll bring it
out to you shortly.
Thank you.
Oh, boy.
I gotta tell ya.
I make a lot of treats
in my cafe.
That's not on my menu.
Sorry about that.
Don't be.
His name is Ryan Jackson.
Total tech brainiac.
Used to run cyber security
for the government,
and now he owns
a tech firm nearby.
There's nothing he can't do
on a computer.
-Really?
-Really.
You should introduce yourself
before he heads out.
You know what?
I think I will.
On my way.
Yeah, I'll see you soon.
Hey, don't worry.
He's here for lunch
every Monday and Friday.
Same time, same table.
You'll get another shot.
Hey, you.
Hey.
Just, uh, pulling a few pieces
for our next segment.
Got you a little treat.
Aw...
-Thank you.
-My pleasure.
You're smiling from ear to ear.
Wait, are you blushing?
Oh... you met someone.
Okay, spill it.
Okay, okay.
Um...
I guess I...
I met someone.
What does that mean?
Well, I crossed paths
with this guy,
and then the owner of the cafe
told me enough about him
where I could look him up,
which I did.
Okay, and...?
And not only is he handsome
and successful,
but he's single.
Okay!
Come on, tell me more.
Like, what's his name?
Show me a picture.
No.
I am not gonna jinx this
by moving too fast.
I will say hi to him on Friday,
and then fill you in after.
Fine.
Mm.
Here you go.
Welcome back.
Thank you.
Are you here
for muffins and coffee?
Or is there something sweeter
you have in mind?
Definitely
the muffins and coffee,
but I am looking forward
to something sweeter.
Coming right up.
So it looks like I have
a choice
between
"Business Acumen from A to Z"
or "Tech-Driven Success:
Strategies That Scale".
Hmm, really?
So which one
are you leaning towards?
I'd much rather lean away
from both of them,
if I'm being honest,
but that is between you and me.
Yeah, well,
my lips are sealed.
Hey, listen, I don't know
if this helps,
but I've heard that the speaker
for the tech room
is a pretty cool dude.
You know, somehow "tech room"
and "cool dude"
doesn't quite match up.
Oh, wow.
Wow, you are funny.
Thanks.
By the way, I'm Ali.
Hey, Ali.
I'm Ryan.
The tech speaker
who couldn't possibly be cool
because... how'd you put it?
It doesn't quite match up.
Yikes.
Yeah.
Yikes.
Okay, um...
I'm sorry,
and I didn't mean it like that.
Okay.
However, what if I told you
my feelings are hurt?
Would that convince you
to attend one of my sessions?
Hmm.
Of course.
I mean, I would at least
owe you that, right?
Well, in that case...
my feelings are hurt.
Really hurt.
Mm...
So, that is Business Tech,
conference room A?
Room A.
Don't be late.
Huh, that's strange.
He's never missed a Friday.
I'm sorry, hon'.
I really thought he'd be here.
You know, there's always Monday.
You're right.
Mm-hmm.
And thanks for coming...
-Hey.
-Hey.
So, what did you think
about my session?
Actually, I thought
it was great and interesting.
Okay, wait a minute, now,
so you thought my session
on "Tech-Driven Success:
Strategies That Scale"
was "great and interesting"?
Okay, fine.
I thought you were
great and interesting.
How's that?
Better.
More believable.
No, I mean, it wasn't as bad
as I thought it would be,
and I actually enjoyed it
more than I thought I would,
and that's the truth.
Oh, okay.
Well, since you truthfully
enjoyed it,
why don't you join me
for dinner tonight,
and I will teach you
all about the principles
of operating systems
and spreadsheet fundamentals.
It's a classic.
How about yes to dinner,
but I teach you how to pair
the perfect wine with your meal?
That's a classic, too.
Deal.
Mm.
Perfect, just add your email,
and you're good to go.
Oh, hi.
How can I help you?
Hi.
I'm with the production team
over in Studio B,
and we're looking to upgrade
our tech-live streaming,
real-time editing,
and cloud sync.
Someone said that, uh,
Ryan is the man to talk to.
Yes, he is,
but I can definitely
help you with that.
Perhaps,
but I'm not really
looking for an employee.
This feels more like a job
for the real boss.
Uh, Ryan's actually
out of town for a few days.
My name is Jamal,
I'm the manager here,
and I know all the systems
inside and out.
Appreciate that,
but I'll circle back
when Ryan's in.
Sure.
Uh, just so you know,
Ryan is not exactly
easy to pin down.
Neither am I.
That's the truth.
So you want me to try
these fish eggs
with, um, white chocolate?
Beluga Hybrid Caviar,
and, yes, trust me.
Okay.
Mm-hmm? Mm-hmm?
Mm...
It's good, right?
Okay, I cannot lie.
That is frickin' good.
See? I told you.
So, tell me, Ali.
What do you like to do
with your spare time?
You mean besides
eating caviar and chocolate?
Yeah, besides that.
Okay, well,
I spend
an obscene amount of time
with my sister, Drea.
Doing very serious things
like manis and pedis,
and shoe shopping,
and sampling
five-star restaurants.
It is a very,
very rough job, Ryan,
but somebody has gotta do it.
Yeah, well, careful now.
You keep talking like that,
and I may just have to
quit my job and tag along.
Well, when you work hard,
you earn the right
to play hard.
Now that's facts.
So I take it you
and your sister Drea are close?
Yes.
Very, very close.
We're actually identical twins.
How about you?
You have any siblings?
Yeah.
Yeah, I have a brother.
His name is Randy.
Ah...
Are you and Randy close?
Unfortunately, no.
See, after high school,
I went to college,
South Carolina State,
and he went to, um...
he went to state prison.
Oh.
I'm sorry.
Yeah, no.
You know, it's okay.
See, my brother, Randy,
he made some bad choices,
and a few of them
dragged me into
some pretty rough situations.
You know, I haven't heard
from him for over 20 years,
and that's probably
for the best.
He's a bad man.
I don't tell that
to too many people.
Well, thank you,
for trusting me with that.
Thank you for making me feel
like I can open up to you.
Wow.
Looks like
we shut this restaurant down.
Yes, we did.
I guess we really are
the last ones, huh?
You know, I have to say,
I really don't want
this night to end.
That's funny.
I was actually thinking
the same thing.
This is one for the ages
The ages
We're slowly drifting
into temptation
Temptation
Hold on
Hold on...
Feeling so anxious
So anxious
In this sea of love
I see why you waited
Waited
Girl, I'm glad you waited
For this moment
Don't it feel
like we're floating
On emotions?
Coasting
I'll dive in
and stroke it, Baby...
That was good.
Just good?
Okay.
Amazing.
Mm...
Listen, um...
Now, this may sound
a little corny, but...
But what?
I like you.
I like you a lot.
Really?
Just a lot?
Oh, okay.
Okay, I see
what you're doing here.
I like you...
...a whole, whole, whole lot.
Mm...
How 'bout you show me?
That's my destination
Destination
The way I touch your body
I'll make you say it
Make you say it
Girl, I'm glad you waited
For this moment
Don't it feel
like we're floating
On emotions?
Coasting...
Okay, so, give me the deets.
Well, the segments were long,
but very informative.
Stop.
Just stop.
You're talking to me,
and I know you
like the back of my hand,
and I know that look.
What look?
The look of-- dare I say it--
the look of being smitten,
I mean, I would say "love",
but we are talking about you.
Okay, wait a minute.
Just because I have stated
that I'm not looking
for my Prince Charming
doesn't mean I'm incapable
of falling in love.
I know, just saying,
that you've never
fallen in love before,
but I have,
and you're looking
and acting like I do
when I'm in love,
so just give me the deets.
Okay, you got me.
I will confirm
that I did meet someone special
at the summit,
and that we bonded
over my taking
his "Tech-Driven Success:
Strategies That Scale" workshop,
and then I taught him
how to appreciate
Beluga Hybrid Caviar.
Oh, interesting.
Well, it actually was,
thank you very much,
and if you're available
tomorrow evening,
you can actually meet him.
Oh, I'm available,
and since you haven't given me
any real deets
on Mister Make-You-Blush,
can I at least have a first name
so I know what to call him?
I sorta like you calling him
Mister-Make-Me-Blush.
Yeah, let's just
stick with that for now.
You will find out everything
tomorrow after we wrap.
Okay, fine.
Tomorrow then.
Dreaming of the holiday
Great sunsets...
Oh, there--
there he is.
Oh, there she is.
Ryan, this is my sister
and best friend, Drea.
Drea, this is Ryan.
Nice to meet you, Drea.
Come on, now.
I mean, is there anything
different between you two?
Like, I don't know.
A mole?
Birthmark?
No.
We're perfectly identical.
No moles anywhere.
Unless you find one
that I didn't know existed.
Oh, you.
Well, I guess I'll just
have to depend on
that necklace you wear.
I mean, you can't really depend
on that either,
because I don't wear it
all the time,
but I always rock my hair
with the curls
and this red lip,
and Drea's more
of the straight hair,
straight edge, girl,
right, Drea?
You okay?
Uh, yeah.
Sorry.
Um, I didn't get
anything to eat.
My energy's a little low.
All right, well, hey,
have some bread.
Thank you.
Ah, there you go.
So, um, tell me, Ryan.
What was it
that attracted you to Ali?
Well, first and foremost,
she is...
beautiful.
Thank you.
I mean, if you think
she's beautiful,
you must think
I'm beautiful, too.
Yeah, yeah, I... I guess so,
but besides that,
you see, Ali, she is smart,
unapologetic,
adventurous.
She makes me laugh...
and that is why I am completely
attracted to her.
Oh. Hey, listen.
Um, if you two will excuse me.
I'm just gonna use the restroom.
Okay.
Okay...
Hurry back.
Okay, give it to me.
What?
You found something
you don't like about him, right?
What makes you say that?
Hello.
Drea, it's me. Ali.
I know you.
I just think, um,
Ryan doesn't know
what he's getting with you.
What does that mean?
You're not
a relationship girl, Ali,
and Ryan seems like the type
who wants to settle down.
I think this could be
a bit much for you.
You're right.
It is a little different
for me, too.
I can't believe I'm saying this,
but I really, really like him.
As a matter of fact,
I think I'm falling for him,
and if that's the case,
it's important to me
that my sister like
the guy that I'm falling for...
...so...
do you like him?
Yeah.
I think that Ryan is great.
You do?
I do. Mm-hmm.
And I'm really, really...
really happy for you.
Aw...
Yay!
So... what'd I miss?
Nothing.
Nothing at all.
Just a little twin talk.
So today I started
with a beautiful cut
of filet mignon.
I built a marinade
made with dark chocolate,
chili, fresh herbs.
I let that soak overnight,
and then I seared it
to lock in all the flavor,
and the end result is this.
Tender, rich, satisfying.
Dish ready to be served.
And...
...um...
and that
is how you take chocolate
somewhere completely unexpected.
Meanwhile, I went sweet
with a chocolate
and strawberry souffl.
Light, and rich,
and the perfect way
to end a meal,
which I expect you to do,
until next time...
...when we bring you
another ingredient...
...and you will watch and see.
Then we will both
Double The Recipe.
And we're out.
Oh, thank you so much.
Hi.
Hey.
Thank you so much for coming.
Oh, yeah, you were great.
Thank you.
Hey, Drea.
Ryan.
Ali, may I speak with you
for a moment?
Yeah, of course.
I'll just go grab a coffee.
-Okay.
-Okay.
I thought that we agreed
we'd have
a closed production set.
I'm sorry.
You're right, we did say
no outsiders on set,
but then Ryan called me
and said he had
something special for me
planned after work,
so I just invited him here.
Something special?
Yeah,
and I'm really
excited about it, too,
so do not wait up for me.
Yeah, I've heard that
plenty of times
with plenty of different men.
I'm sorry,
what's that supposed to mean?
Nothing.
Have fun.
Yeah.
Thanks.
Correct me if I'm wrong,
but I have never seen Ali
so happy.
It won't last.
Mm.
It is really beautiful out here.
There must be what, like,
a thousand stars out tonight.
More like billions,
but the human eye
can only see a fraction of it.
Wow...
a tech guy who knows so much
about the stars in the sky.
How did I get so lucky?
Ooh...
Are you being funny now?
Yeah, just a teeny-weeny bit.
-Just a teeny-weeny.
-Mm-hmm.
You know, actually, I have a...
I have something for you,
and I...
I know we've only been, uh--
been doing this for...
for three months,
but I want you to have this.
It's my house key.
Hmm.
If you want it.
I definitely want it.
Yeah...
Well...
I guess that means
that we're... official now.
Mm-hmm.
I guess so.
Huh.
I love you, Ali.
I love you, too, Ryan.
Now that you've given me
the key to your world...
maybe it's time
that I let you in mine.
How about you, I don't know,
spend the night at my place?
I thought you'd never ask.
Morning, baby.
Um...
I'm Drea.
Good morning.
Oh, wow.
Hey, listen, I...
I am so sorry.
No, no, no, it's fine.
Don't even worry about it.
Good morning!
You're up early.
Yeah.
Yeah, I, uh...
You know, I thought
you were down here, so I--
Came in here looking for you.
Oh.
Uh, by the way,
we're out of orange juice.
Oh, yeah, got it.
I swear...
...we're the same person.
Let me get this straight,
so you walk into the kitchen
and see who you think is Ali,
uh, you start rubbing on her
and kissing on her,
only to find out
that it wasn't Ali,
and it was Drea?
Yes.
You sure it was an accident?
Come on, really, Jamal?
Okay, look, I'm just
messing with you.
I know you, and I know
it wasn't intentional,
but if that was me?
"Oops. My bad."
Come on, seriously, man.
This isn't
a joking moment, all right?
And there's more.
More?
Yeah, you see...
you see, I think that Drea...
You know, I don't even know
how to say this, man,
but it just-it just felt like
Drea, in that moment,
really wanted me to think
that she was Ali,
and listen,
I-I can't explain it, okay,
but I'm telling you,
that's what it felt like.
Well, look,
you said it yourself.
Ali and Drea
are thick as thieves.
Drea wouldn't do her sister
like that.
I honestly think
it was a mistake.
You know,
it was an awkward moment,
she didn't know how to respond.
That's just what I think.
Yeah, you're right.
It was an awkward moment.
-Awkward moment.
-Yeah.
That's it.
Look, Ali.
Something's off with Drea.
I see it,
and I know you do, too.
Well, yeah, she has been acting
a bit different.
I think it has something
to do with Ryan.
Ryan?
What about Ryan?
I think
Drea watching you fall in love
is probably making her feel
a little left out.
You're moving on
to something more,
and she isn't.
Okay.
Um, with everything that's
happened to her in the past,
and then, here I am
in this new relationship,
I can see how that could
make her feel a certain way.
Listen,
maybe it's time for Drea
to get a little
manly attention herself.
Does that fine man of yours
have a brother?
Are you asking for Drea
or for yourself?
Oh, I am good
in the love department.
Hmm.
Yeah, he has a brother.
No, he's not available,
but I think
that his friend Jamal is.
Well, there it is.
Mm-hmm.
Let's make
that connection happen.
Quickly, please.
Mm-hmm.
Uh, relax your grip a little.
You're holding the club
like it owes you money.
I'm fine.
Damn!
That ball's about
to press charges.
Can y'all not?
-Thank you.
-Okay, girl.
Okay, look, listen,
this is what you gotta do.
You're gonna--
You just wanna loosen your--
Jamal, don't.
'Cause these hips
would be better served
by a real boss.
Say that again?
I-I didn't mean--
That was you,
at the tech center,
asking about for Ryan.
Something about studio upgrades
and wanting a real boss?
I don't know
what you're talking about.
But I think you do.
Oh, my God!
Drea, he said yes!
Who said yes?
The designer!
He's making
our birthday dresses!
Are you serious?
He agreed?
Yes, he agreed.
Custom pieces!
I'm freaking out!
W-What-
What's going on, huh?
Okay, so this designer
that we've been
obsessed with for years,
is finally making us
matching dresses.
Oh, hey, now,
congratulations, babe!
Although I gotta say,
you are just as sexy
in anything...
or nothing at all.
-Oh.
-Mm-hmm.
Mm-hmm...
I have to use the restroom.
I'll be back.
Damn...
Ain't that some mess.
Hey...
Drea.
Hey. What's up?
Listen, I was, uh...
just wanted
to pull you aside for a moment.
I was hoping that
we could go to lunch,
so that we could,
you know, talk.
Thursday at that cafe
on Fourth?
-Yeah.
-Yeah?
I'll be there.
Okay.
Okay, listen,
if you could, um,
just keep this between,
you know, you and me?
Oh, of course.
No problem.
All right, cool.
You should probably
go first, yeah?
Yeah.
You're right.
Okay.
Okay...
Wow.
You look amazing.
Where are you headed off to?
Just to lunch
with the guy I met
at the coffee shop
a few months ago.
Okay, so he's still
in the picture?
Well, actually, he never left.
We just didn't have time
to connect,
that's all.
Okay.
Well, be careful.
As careful as you are.
All right, look, I, uh...
You know, I know that this
may come across
as, I guess, out of place.
No.
Whatever you have to say to me,
it's not out of place.
Trust me.
Okay.
Okay, it's just that,
you know, everything
with Ali has--
it's happened so fast.
I've gotten to know you, and...
and you're great...
...and, uh...
Look, I'm just gonna
come out and say it.
Please do.
I wanna ask Ali to marry me.
I know it's only been
a few months,
but when you know,
you know, right?
But you think it's too soon?
No.
I don't think it's too soon,
but I do think
that Ali will think so.
Really?
Yeah.
Um, Ali isn't like me at all.
She's gonna wanna wait
a little longer.
Okay.
So I should...
So I should wait then?
Yeah.
You definitely should wait.
Okay.
Okay, I, uh...
I trust your judgment.
Sorry to interrupt,
you guys.
Ali, got a moment to talk?
Yeah.
Uh, you two can have the space.
I'm actually heading out
for a meeting.
Okay. Bye, Lamar.
Bye.
Robyn, please don't tell me
you're here to draw more blood
for the station's
insurance policy.
Oh, I got
more than I needed last week.
I'm here for another reason.
Something very important.
Hey.
You texted me five times
to get here ASAP.
What's wrong?
I'm pregnant.
That's not possible.
Well, I am.
The blood test
came back positive,
and when Robyn told me,
I took three urine tests.
I am pregnant.
I didn't even think
I wanted this,
until it actually happened,
and...
Oh, my God, Drea,
I'm pregnant!
You're pregnant.
Okay, so I've gotta call
my doctor
and make an appointment, and--
Oh, I gotta tell Ryan.
He's gonna be so excited.
Drea...
I am pregnant!
No!
No...
No...
No....
Lamar,
I have a important question.
Okay.
Are you going to eat
that last spring roll?
Ali, you're only two months,
but you're eating like
you're in your final trimester.
Okay, so is that a yes or a no?
Obviously, that's a yes.
My little Godson or Goddaughter
can have whatever
he or she wants.
Sorry I'm late.
Ooh, I am starving.
Where are the spring rolls?
I couldn't help it.
The baby wanted 'em all.
It's hungry...
Dammit, Ali!
Not everything
is about you or the baby!
Oh, my God.
Ali, I...
I am so sorry.
I didn't mean to sound
so selfish.
I'm sorry.
No, Drea.
I was the one
who was being selfish.
I'm sorry.
Do you
want me to get a PA
to pick up some more rolls
for you, or?
No.
Really, it's fine.
- You sure?
- Yeah.
I don't know what came over me.
Please forgive me?
Please?
Of course, Drea.
Of course.
Coming up after the break,
we will share
our double recipes.
You don't wanna miss this,
so stay tuned.
And we're out!
All right, everybody,
let's take ten!
Thank God.
Thank you so much.
This niece or nephew of yours
is working my bladder overtime.
Mm.
I'm gonna go to the ladies room.
I'll be right back.
Okay.
Are you sure
she's gonna be okay?
Of course.
Ali is a strong woman.
It's probably just
morning sickness anyway.
Drea...
Oh, my God!
Hey...
Tell us.
What's-What's going on?
It looks like Ali consumed
a large amount of listeria
and e-coli.
How?
Several ways.
It could be from
contaminated food,
or improperly cleaned surfaces.
In her line of business,
if you're not careful,
it-it could happen.
She will make a full recovery,
but I'll have to keep her here
a few days.
Whatever it takes.
I'll be here with her.
Unfortunately...
due to how early she was
in her pregnancy,
she lost the baby.
I'm so sorry.
All right, here we go.
Okay, so I'm gonna call Jamal
and let him know that
he's in charge for tonight.
Ryan--
That way, I can pack a bag
and make sure.
Ryan--
Please, Ryan.
I don't want you
to come back tonight.
Can I please just have
some time to myself?
Please?
Yeah.
Yeah, okay.
Yeah, I uh--
I don't get it.
I know.
That's just the way
Ali handles things like this.
If it were me,
I'd want you by my side,
but Ali's different.
You know, and as strange
as it may seem,
we have to respect that.
Yeah, right.
Um...
You know, I guess I'll--
I'll call her tomorrow.
She needs more time.
Trust me.
Okay. Yeah.
Yeah, you know,
I don't wanna push it.
Um...
Yeah, I'll give her some space.
Thank you, Drea.
Ali is lucky to have you.
-We both are.
-Mm-hmm.
All right.
-Goodbye.
-Bye.
How's she holding up?
She's resting.
She did insist
that I come check out
the footage with you.
And I'm glad she did.
Gosh, this segment
was so strong.
She lit up the room.
...you don't
wanna miss this...
You both did.
Ali was so happy.
Yeah, she was.
You know, Drea,
after everything
you've been through,
I'm amazed at
how you can still make time
to be so present for her.
I-I really am.
She is the only family
I have left, and...
and I really do want
the best for her.
I know.
She knows, too.
Well, it's looking like
I'll be another few minutes
with this segment,
and since you're
sitting here with me,
you might as well
pour yourself a glass of wine.
Okay.
Oh, and for me, too,
while you're at it.
You don't wanna miss this,
so stay tuned.
And we're out...
Even though so much
has happened,
I really do believe that
we're gonna end the year strong.
I hope so.
Oh, there's no hoping in that.
I'm telling you,
so that you know
it's gonna happen.
You okay, Lamar?
You did it.
What are you
talking about, Lamar?
They forgot to turn
one of the cameras off
during the break.
You caused Ali's miscarriage.
Oh, my God, Drea,
what did you do?
Lamar, let me explain--
No, no, leave, Drea.
-Lamar--
-No, leave now,
before I call the police!
Come on, Ali.
Pick up your damn phone.
Ali?
Ryan...
Ali, what's wrong?
It's Lamar.
He was in an accident.
Oh, my God.
Oh, my God, is he okay?
He's gone.
Oh, babe...
Babe, what can I do?
I know that, um, I said
I needed some space, but...
can I come over tonight?
'Cause I really just
wanna be with you.
Yeah, of course.
Hey, listen, I'll, um...
I'll come get you, okay?
No, uh, I-I'll drive.
I need the air.
You sure?
Yeah.
Yeah, I'll just pack a bag.
Okay.
Be safe, all right?
I will.
I love you.
I love you, too.
Where are you going?
I'm, um...
I'm going to Ryan's.
I've been shut away long enough,
and I just need
to be with him right now.
Why don't I pour us some tea,
and then help you
finish packing?
That'd be nice.
What would I do without you?
Hey, babe.
I tried to wait up for you,
but--
Shh...
What's gotten into you?
Ali?
Hey.
Why'd you leave?
How could you?
How could I what?
Don't.
Drea told me everything.
Did you really think
you'd get away with it?
Ali, get away with what?
My sister, Ryan!
She told me she called
and told you I'd fallen asleep.
Then you asked her over,
and she thought
you were gonna talk about us,
but instead you tried
to make a move on her.
What is that?
Some sick twin fantasy?
Ali, that is not what happened.
Drea is my sister,
and she's definitely not a liar.
Ali,
you've gotta believe me.
All right?
I was waiting for you.
I thought that you used the key
to come into the house.
You came to the bed,
and you started kissing me.
Ali, he's lying!
Okay, so let me
get this straight,
so now you're saying
you don't know
who you were sleeping with?
I never want to see
your damn face again, Ryan.
-Ali--
-Do you hear me?
Ever.
I'm so sorry, Ali.
For what?
None of this was your fault.
None of it.
I just...
I never meant to hurt you.
You could never hurt me.
Never.
Look, I'm telling you, man,
I didn't know.
This kills every fantasy
I've ever had about twins.
Too soon.
Got it.
You know, I can't even believe
this is happening.
I don't even know how to fix it.
I mean, you could start
by knowing
who you're dealing with.
Look, there's something
I've been meaning to tell you.
Drea came by the office
months ago
asking about you,
and I brought it up to her
at the Pitch-And-Putt,
but she denied it,
but I know it was her, though.
You can't forget
an attitude like that.
What the hell?
So you want answers?
Tap into her life.
Work your magic, Mr. Techie.
I don't know, maybe this...
this could come back
and bite us.
Not if it's done right,
and you're the best there is.
Besides,
what else are you gonna do?
Just sit here
and take this crap?
Or give it everything you got
to fight
for the love of your life,
and clear your name?
Yeah.
Yeah.
-Mm!
-Let's freakin' do it.
Let's go.
Let's get into her cloud
and figure out
who Drea really is.
Ah, I'm in.
- Dude.
- Whoa...
Whoa, what is this?
Bro, this is messed up.
Wait, when did you
meet Ali again?
Uh...
June 20th.
These pictures
were downloaded on June 16th.
Four days before you guys met.
Then what is this about?
She's been obsessed with you
for a long time.
Drea has been
fantasizing about you
before you even knew
Ali existed.
That girl is crazy.
I need to get this to Ali.
You know, I can tell
if something's been moved
before I even touch it.
Ali, you've gotta believe me.
All right?
I was waiting for you,
and I thought
that you used the key
to come into the house.
Hey.
I, uh, tried to call you.
I have something to tell you
about your sister--
Stop.
I believe you.
I should have known,
and I should have trusted you.
Listen, Ali--
I'm sorry.
For all the things I said,
for just... all of it.
Hey.
Hey, you listen to me.
None of that matters now, okay?
We'll deal with Drea together.
No.
This is something
that I have to do on my own.
The signs
were always there, Ryan,
my whole life,
and I just didn't
want to see it,
because I love her...
more than anyone ever has,
including our mother.
Okay.
Well, you let me
be here for you, all right?
When it's done?
Okay.
Okay...
Just in time.
I made pizza.
You lied to me.
What are you talking about?
You took my key
to get into Ryan's
pretending to be me.
Ali, I would never--
Drea!
You put my key on the hook
the wrong way!
My name was facing the wall.
I would never do that.
It would drive me crazy.
I'm done.
You can't leave me,
you're my sister!
You are nothing to me,
and do me a favor
and get your own life,
and stay the hell out of mine.
Whew.
So, I've been staying with you
for two weeks now.
Yeah.
Are you not sick of me yet?
Oh, not a chance.
In fact...
I could get used to this,
for a very long time.
But, you know, before we head
to the lake house,
I need to make a quick stop.
Where?
I just wanna take you
to one of my favorite places.
Come on, you'll see.
You gotta try this place
at least once,
because I know
your muffins are hot, but--
No, my muffins are the best,
but I do it for you--
Well, look at this!
Finally.
You two made it happen.
Finally?
Yeah, the moment Drea saw you,
she said you were gonna be hers.
Isn't that right, Drea?
You've gotta love a woman
that knows what she wants.
I'm not Drea.
Mm-mm. I'm Ali, her twin sister.
Oh, I'm sorry.
Oh...
Do me a favor--
get a life...
Get a life...
...and do me a favor
and get your own life,
and stay the hell out of mine!
Thank you.
You're welcome.
I know this isn't
the birthday you had planned.
No, it's not.
It's better.
Way better.
You were quiet in the car.
What's on your mind?
Ever since we were kids,
Drea has...
struggled
with feeling not enough,
and then she met Kevin,
and I thought it was over,
that he was her person.
Then the miscarriages
and the divorce, and...
Watching him live the life
she wanted
with someone else.
I thought Kevin's death
would help her move on,
but now I'm not so sure
if it's healing anything
or making it worse.
I mean, do you think
she had anything to do,
you know, with Kevin's m*rder?
Oh, no.
No.
Drea's a lot of things,
but she's not a m*rder*r.
Okay.
Okay.
You know what?
Enough of that.
It is your birthday weekend.
-Mm-hmm.
-Yeah.
-Yeah.
-It is,
and I've got a surprise for you.
Open it.
So you'll know
you always have my heart.
I love it.
It's beautiful.
Yeah.
So are you.
Listen, I...
I've gotta, um,
make a quick run into town.
Do you want me to go with you?
No.
You know, you...
you stay here
and get comfortable,
and by comfortable, I mean...
put on that birthday dress.
Mm...
Yeah?
And when I get back,
I will help you... take it off.
Okay.
Okay.
Ryan?
Ryan!
Ryan, stop playing.
I thought we should talk,
you know?
It's our birthday,
and we should
celebrate it together.
Drea,
what are you doing here?
And what have you done
with yourself?
Why are you trying to be me?
Drea, you are perfect.
I just wish
you would see that.
No, Ali.
Everything...
about your life...
you never even wanted it.
You didn't pray for it,
you didn't ask for it,
and still, you got it.
The life I always wanted.
Ryan...
he was supposed to be
my one thing.
Mine...
...and you,
you went to that summit.
Drea, I didn't plan
any of this.
It just kinda happened.
And I...
I did not plan to k*ll Lamar,
mm-mm...
or make you lose your baby.
You did that?
I had to!
You understand that, right?
Ali...
Come on!
I just wanna talk.
I need you.
Ali?
Put the knife down now, Drea.
I said put it down!
You have everything...
and everyone.
I have given you everything,
and now I've got nothing left.
That's not true.
It is true.
I have nothing else to live for.
So just go on, Ali.
k*ll me...
Please, Ali.
End this curse.
Do it!
No!
I could never hurt you, Drea.
Your wants and your dreams,
they've always mattered to me.
All our lives,
you've felt like
you weren't enough,
like you were the extra one,
but I never saw you that way.
We were born holding hands,
remember?
And even when life
pulled us apart,
I was still holding on.
I've watched you
be pushed aside,
ignored, hurt,
and that k*lled me inside...
That's why I k*lled Kevin...
A new chapter...
...so you could get closure,
and finally start
a new chapter of your life.
That chapter ended...
...when you stole Ryan from me.
If you're not gonna do it,
then I'll do it myself.
No!
No!
Ali?
Ali!
Ali...
My baby.
Oh!
It's okay, baby.
It's gonna be okay.
Look at that!
Ooh, man, that rock is big!
Man, if you're trying to make
the rest of us look bad,
it's working.
Thank you.
Three months married,
but I am ready to spend
a lifetime with this man.
Ryan, you've gotta
tell everyone
the story of how you two met.
Oh, no, go ahead, babe.
You tell it better.
Okay.
Uh, well, you know, we just
happened to cross paths
looking at
a business summit schedule.
Total coincidence.
Yeah, and then
I had to convince her
to sit in on this, uh--
this workshop
with this nerdy tech guy,
which happened to be me...
..but I bet you do not remember
the name of that course.
Hmm.
"Tech-Driven Success..."
Mm-hmm.
"...Strategies That Scale."
Yeah.
Ding, ding, ding!
And then, later on,
I had him try--
what was it
you called it again, babe?
"Fish eggs and chocolate."
No, I do not sound like that.
Oh, you definitely do.
You know, anyways,
she told me what it was called.
"Hybrid Beluga Caviar."
Oh, touch.
Yes, and the whole
experience was...
Yeah, it was
very transformative.
Transformative, huh?
Mm-hmm.
I mean, what can I say?
You changed my palate.
You changed my life.
Aww.
It's crazy, right?
You can't write
this sort of stuff.
It's like you two were meant
to find each other.
Cheers, guys.
Whoo!
Wow, that was nice
to see everyone.
It was.
Wow, Jamal.
We gotta find him somebody.
I know!
Okay, you, uh, you stay here.
I'll go get the car.
Okay.
Hello.
Hey, Ali, it's Brad.
I've been thinking about you
for a while now.
Do you remember the offer
I made you a year ago
about investing
in your cooking project?
Of course.
Well...
I always thought
you were the true star
of your show.
Then I'll do it myself.
No! No!
No, Ali...
Ali!
Where are you?
Hello, Ali?
Are you still interested?
Yes, I'm very much
still interested.
That's great.
You know what?
My office will be
in touch with you.
Okay.
Thank you.
Bye.
Well, what are you
smiling about?
You.
Us.
I'm, um, just happy.
Yeah.
Everything's gonna be okay.
Everything is gonna be okay.
Yeah, I have a brother.
His name is Randy.
He's a bad man.
You're an outlaw
And there's a reward
on your soul
I'm your downfall
A kiss from my lips
and your heart runs cold
I'm your poison
A little too much
and you're done
Caught red-handed
There's no escape
from a smoking g*n
