01x134 - Episode 134

[bunniefuu]

Relax. I've known Bill
since college.

He's not gonna screw me over.

Doug is coming after you
for laundering the cash.

So you didn't sleep with her?

I did.

Go to hell, Ted.

Aah! What the hell, Shanice?

Why are you hiding
your medical miracle?

Vegas, baby.

-Genius.
-Mm.

All of Fairmont Crest
will lose their minds

if we post a picture of us
kissing at a wedding chapel.

[chuckles]: Hey.
There go my girls.

-Hi, Dad.
-Hey. Mwah.

-Hi, Dad.
-Hey. How you doing?

-Good, good.
-Mwah. [sighs]

You don't know
how good it does my soul

to see you guys here
with me tonight.

[chuckles]
You just saw us yesterday.

But we appreciate the sentiment.

Chels, if you don't like this
table, we can get another one.

I'm fine. I'm just still getting
used to being around people.

That's all.

Yeah.

Well, listen,
the next time we do this,

you'll have more support, okay?

I'm hoping that Jacob
and Madison will join us

so we can make this
a proper family gathering.

Oh.

So we're making this
a regular thing?

Yeah. Yeah.

If my girls will have me.

I actually just spoke
with your mother

and let her know that
I was looking forward to some,

you know,
one-on-one time with my girls.

So you specifically told her
that you were inviting

the whole family except her?

Yeah, I'm sure
Mom didn't overreact at all.

-I got it.
-Where are you dragging
my behind to now?

-Easy, easy.
-What-what is this place?

It smells like...

-discount perfume
and questionable life choices.
-Ooh.

Hey, eyes closed, eyes closed.

[sighs]
We are where the magic happens.

-Mm.
-When in Rome--

-Well, we're not in Rome.
We're in Vegas, baby!
-[chuckles]

What can I help you with?

-Hey.
-Ooh!

Besides maybe some water?

-Um, my lady.
-[chuckles]

Um, does your fine establishment
accommodate clientele

of the, uh,
spontaneous persuasion?

[chuckling]

Walk-ins. Do you serve walk-ins?

-We're just here
for the picture.
-Mm.

-Yeah.
-Uh...

[gasps]

What if...

-Would you?
-Mm.

-Uh, excuse us for a hot second.
-Mm-hmm.

This way. Thank you.

-Dani.
-Hmm?

Maybe it's because
we're so tipsy...

Yeah, just a little tipsy.

Look where we're standing.

Or trying to.

You know what I mean?

Yeah, but...

-Andre.
-What?

We are so drunk, we are spinning
like-like Tina Turner in fringe.

This isn't poetry--
it's Patrón, it's Dom,

and whatever else we poured
down our throat in that casino.

Okay, then, uh,

we'll leave it
to something bigger than us.

Fate.

Precisely. [chuckles]

Uh, we'll flip a coin. Hmm?

Damn it. Uh, I-I don't have one.

[sighs] Lord, this man.

-Come on, come on.
-All right.

Well...

-here.
-[clears throat]

-Pow.
-Your destiny awaits.

[chuckles]

Heads, we get married.

And tails,

we leave and go home single.

Mmm.

Here we go.
[grunts]

♪ ♪

DOUG:

relax.

I've known Bill since college.

He's not gonna screw me over.

And what if you're wrong, Doug?

What if you're dead wrong?

What then?

VANESSA: It's nice to have time
for dinner at the club again.

All those years, you complained
about the hours, the...

pressure, the hospital politics.

But now the house feels like
a mausoleum when I come home.

I have a solution.

Retire with me.

[chuckles]

You know that's not possible.

Why not?
We could-- we could travel.

Go to all those places
we put off until someday.

Because someday isn't today.

It's not as if I can just tell
Joey Armstrong

I've had a change of heart
about laundering his money.

That didn't stop you
from telling him

you're not sleeping
with him anymore.

And you did that, right?

We agreed to be smart
about this.

Patient.

You're right about one thing.

We definitely need to be smart.

Found it. [grunts] Found it.

[chuckles] Heads it is.

You are kidding me.

-Best two out of three?
-Nope, nope, nope.

The universe has spoken.

Uh, my dear, lock us in

for the Sammy's
Swinging Wedding Special.

Sammy Davis Jr. was
my favorite Halloween costume

-as a kid.
-Uh, unfortunately,

-Sammy's shift
ended an hour ago.
-ANDRE: Damn.

WOMAN:
But we don't ask why.

We say bye-bye.

But don't y'all worry.

I would be absolutely delighted
to do the honors.

That's...

Yeah.

Andre.

-Andre. Andre.
-Oh.

We have to do it.

-You were right.
-I know.

-Mother says so!
-[laughs]

Oh.

-Eva. Thanks for coming.
-[chuckles]

Oh, my gosh. It's been a while.

I know.

Sorry I haven't kept in touch.

Things have been
kind of insane lately.

You are preaching to the choir.

-Water, dear?
-Yes, please.

Aw.
[chuckles softly]

I heard about your
newly discovered family history.

Kind of wild, isn't it?

Not only do we share
the same father--

our grandmothers
were best friends

in the same singing group.

Until mine got kicked out.

Barbara's story
is incredibly sad.

It must have been hard
for Leslie to learn

what she had been through.

Especially since it was
so similar

to what she's been through.

You know, constant rejection,

being treated
like she's less than.

And not just by your dad
and Bill Hamilton.

But it seems like all you
Duprees are ganging up on her.

Look, I understand
you're feeling some empathy

for the underdog,

but Leslie's point of view
is somewhat skewed.

I mean, she hated my family

supposedly because my mother
stole my father from her.

And my mom had no idea
she even existed.

And then when she found out,
she kicked my dad to the curb.

I suppose you have a point.

My mom has never been the one
keeping Ted and Leslie apart.

He's just not that into her,

and Leslie has to accept that.

Yeah, um...

we should just probably talk
about something else.

Nicole? I'm here.

What's so urgent?

Thanks for coming.

I didn't mean to sound
so dramatic on the phone.

I gave Ted back his tie.

The tie that Leslie tried
to bait you with at the club?

I should have learned by now
just to take Leslie's word

when she makes
her disgusting implications.

Would have saved me the trouble
of confronting him.

Are you serious?

He admitted it to my face.

He actually slept with her.

Ted Richardson,
you absolute fool!

How did I not know
who this man was?

I shared a bed with him
for decades.

So what the hell
was he thinking?

Was this revenge
for the divorce papers?

Was he throwing it in your face

-to deliberately try
to hurt you?
-[chuckles]

Nothing that required
that much of a backbone.

He was drunk, she was there,

-and that is
his entire rationale.
-[scoffs]

I know I don't have
a say anymore in what Ted does

or who he does it with,

but he was
literally just standing

in the middle
of your living room

declaring his undying devotion
to his family,

for God's sakes.

Baby, I am sorry.

I am so, so sorry.

I shouldn't have called you over
here to dump all of this on you.

-[scoffs]
-And it doesn't change anything.

Ted and I are already getting
a divorce.

It actually just confirms
that I was right to file.

As if I needed more evidence of
his spectacular moral failure.

-Honestly...
-[sighs]

...I think you did.

I could hear it in your voice.

These past few days,
just searching

for any reason whatsoever

to try to give that man
a second chance.

It was my own cowardice.

I didn't want to face the truth.

Not only about Ted
but about myself.

From the moment we met,

I built him up in my head
to be this pillar of integrity.

How ridiculous do I look?

Oh, no, no, no. You stop that.
You stop that right now.

-Don't talk about yourself
like that.
-[sighs]

And-and no more talk
about not wanting to dump on me.

I am here for my girls
whenever they need me,

each and every time.

I-I can't believe
the resemblance.

It's-it's uncanny.

Everything okay, hon?

Is my contour off?

My mascara smudged? What--

-Andre, Andre, Andre.
-[stammers]

-Hmm?
-Did you hear that? My m--

Anita would never say "hon."

Excuse me. Um, she's
a really big Anita Williams fan.

-Huge. Love her.
-Huge.

I'm cashing in from the heat

of that Articulettes
reunion concert.

Everybody loves Anita!

We were there! First row!

-Yeah, I got her tickets
for her birthday.
-You did?

It was worth every penny.

She cried the entire show.

Oh! You must be a big, big fan.

-[chuckling]
-We can get
a Vernon Dupree lookalike

to walk you down the aisle.

For a little extra.

Nah, nah, it's okay. We don't
really have to go that far.

Suit yourselves!
[chuckles softly]

We can fit you in right now
if you're ready.

-Are we ready?
-[stammers]

One second, please.

Dani, hey.

Something like this
seems inevitable.

If either of you know
of any reason

why you should not be married,

speak now...

[lisps]:
or forever hold your peace.

Let's do it.

In that case,

-let's get y'all hitched.
-DANI: Whoo!

-Vegas-style! [laughs]
-[laughs]

Remember that trip we took
before the kids were born?

That romantic getaway
to the Greek islands?

Do you remember how the owner
of the villa in Santorini

-kept bringing us baklava...
-[laughs]

...convinced
we were honeymooners?

We did not correct him.

[chuckles]

I'd like nothing more
than to go back, darling, but...

the timing is impossible.

The Sanderson estate
is in probate,

and I have a feeling
the Leslie-Jarvis transaction

will require a lot of attention.

Then later in the year then.

We could block off three weeks,

go completely off-grid.

Christmas, maybe?

Nah, the twins will be home
from college.

I'm talking
about a second honeymoon,

not a family vacation.

And I don't want
to share you with anyone.

Maybe you should take that
second honeymoon with Randy.

Who knows?
Maybe he's already there.

He didn't say.

He doesn't want to risk
Joey knowing his whereabouts.

Well, Joey wouldn't hear
about it from me.

And why is that?

Because you know
what would happen.

I just wish you were more
careful about protecting us.

Do I need to remind you what...

Who got you into this mess
on top of the 250,000 reminders.

[groans]

Excuse me.

Caroline. I'm so glad
you stopped by, girl.

-[chuckles]
-Mm. I knew
Bill was at the club.

Thought I'd hang out,
maybe dish a bit.

Ooh. You don't have to threaten
me with a good time. c*ck?

Uh, with gin, if you have it.

Mm. Perfect.

So...

where do things stand
between you and Bill?

Did he fall
for that jealousy play?

Not exactly.

He knows me too well.

So it backfired?

Well, on the contrary.

Bill seeing me flirting with
Tomas made it more effective.

We got to have
a real conversation.

-And the situation
with Dani's over?
-Mm-hmm.

Very much so.
[chuckles]

-Ha!
-[chuckles]

Chelsea?

Just startled me. I'm fine.

BILL:
Well, baby, if this is too much

for you,
we can take our food to go,

head back to your place.

I'm already constantly on alert.

Every sound,
every movement behind me,

it's like my body reacts
before my brain can catch up.

But I can't stay cooped up
in the guesthouse forever.

And I really appreciate
the effort

that the family is making.

The rotating door of Duprees
is comforting.

We're here to help you, Chels.

I'm gonna go wash my hands.

Give you two a few minutes

to wipe those worried looks
off your faces.

[sighs] She's doing
as well as can be expected.

And Madison says that
the hypervigilance is normal

after everything
she's been through, so...

Yeah. I...

I just hate
seeing her like this.

You know,
Chelsea's always been...

Fearless?

-I know.
-Yeah.

So tell me about this
conversation you had with Mom.

Well, you know, I gave
more thought to what you said

about how she'd probably
misconstrue my intentions

if I didn't make them clear.

And I realized you had a point.

I have a feeling it was more
Hayley's influence than mine.

[chuckles]
Yeah.

Yeah, you got me.
Hayley was concerned, too.

Yeah, she felt
that I was being insensitive

about how my behavior
might appear to other people.

-I bet.
-Yeah.

So, I, um,

you know, went and had
a quick chat with your mother,

you know, reset boundaries.

and made it clear
that I'm a happily married man.

[sighs] I'm sure that
was not fun for Mom to hear.

But I'm glad you're not toying
with her emotions,

because that situation

had the potential
to get out of hand.

Dearly beloved
and distinguished guests,

we are gathered here today
in the sight of God

-and the great state
of Nevada...
-Mm.

...to join this beautiful couple

-in holy matrimony.
-[chuckles]

Marriage is a sacred union

and not to be entered
into lightly,

unadvisedly,

or without at least
one viral move.

A-five, six, seven, eight!

-Oh! Get it!
-[chuckles]

Hey, hey, hey!

-Hey! Oh!
-Hey!

-Hey--
-Sometimes the heart

recognizes its home

long before the brain has
a chance to do the paperwork.

-Mm-hmm.
-Or as a great philosopher
once said,

"If you like it..."

-Put a ring on it!
-Put a ring on it. [chuckles]

[chuckling]

But let's get serious
for a moment.

[The Articulettes'
"I Will Be Alright" playing]

♪
She had you

♪
Her charm in all her ways
♪

♪
Made you love her style
♪

♪
Do you take Danielle

♪
To have and hold her

Oh, my God!
You sound exactly like her now.

Thank you, darling!
You are so kind.

[chuckles]
Well, do you?

Do I what?

Oh! Duh.

Of-of course. Damn right.

I do take this amazing,
beautiful,

"sexy as the day is long" woman.

And I also promise to bring you
coffee in the morning...

-Aw.
-...and never tell you

that you have spinach
in your teeth in public.

But I'll also clue her in
whenever people leave.

Okay, okay.
Quit while you're ahead.

-Isn't he the best?
-[chuckles]

Wait.

Wait, stop the music.

Stop all of this.

-Is something wrong?
-Yes!

We can't get married like this!

Hello! We're missing the rings!

-Oh, the rings!
Oh, the rings, the rings.
-The rings! [laughing]

-ANDRE: Oh, my God...
-Where are we gonna get rings?

Okay, y'all good over here?

Can I get either one
of you anything?

Uh, well,
now that you mention it,

-those wedges over there
are calling my name.
-[Martin chuckles]

Um, let's just get
a large order for the table.

But let's be real--

I'm probably gonna demolish
most of it myself.

[all chuckling]

Just coffee for me. Black.

June, this is my sister.

I heard there was
another one of you.

Martin's taking me
to meet with your mother

as soon as my shift ends.

Half sister. Different mothers.

Okay, well, it's good to meet

another member of the family
anyways.

I'll be right back
with your fries and your coffee.

[chuckles]

Okay. What did I miss?

We recently learned that June
is my kids' biological mother.

Wait, what?

It's been a lot to process,

but, uh, June's had it rough.

Substance issues,

going without stable shelter.

Naomi is the one
that lined this job up for her

and helped with her housing.

That's amazing.

I bet hooking up with Nicole
will be good for her, too.

Your mom does have a gift

for making people feel
like they matter.

Makes me wonder how the apple
fell so far from the tree.

[chuckles]
Was that a stray aimed at me?

Depends.

Is your name Kat?

[chuckles softly]

Maybe we should table
this conversation,

because here comes our man.

Thought I might find you here.

Looks like you need a drink.

Join us.

Although I will be leaving
shortly.

So, how are you
and my baby sister?

Great. Yeah.

Really good.

Couldn't be better.

Kat. What a coincidence.

I texted her that we were here.
I hope you don't mind.

Oh, no. The more the merrier.

Chelsea was just telling us
about your grandmother's idea

to relaunch ChelseaKat online.

-I think it's brilliant.
-Right?

It gives us a wider reach
and more flexibility.

And if you decide
you're not up for it,

you can step back at any point.

No pressure.

Well, thank you
for having the escape hatch,

but I don't think I'll need it.

I'm sorry to cut this short,
but I got to go.

Jacob's working on a project for
a friend and could use my help.

BILL:
Yeah. Yeah, I probably

should get out of here, too,
before Hayley starts to worry.

-I will take Chelsea home.
-Mm-hmm.

Mmm.

Well...

thank you, ladies, for spending
the evening with your old man.

Mmm. It meant a lot.

Good night, Kat.
Don't be a stranger.

-I love you.
-Love you.

Bye.

Okay, spill everything.

I want to hear all about Tomas
and his epic surprise.

And why aren't you with him
right now?

Girl, it was a catastrophe.

Like, historic levels
of disaster.

Oh, I'm actually gonna use
the restroom,

so I'll just say good night
to you here.

-Okay. All right, baby.
-All right.

-Drive careful.
-Thanks, Dad.

Don't wait up.

[phone chimes]

[Bill exhales]

I don't think you realize what
a dangerous game you're playing.

I don't think you realize
it's none of your damn business.

Hmm.

[sighs]
All right, that is it.

I am done.

Those are the last tears
I ever intend to cry over Ted.

Martin is coming over,

and I don't want him to know
about any of this.

I don't need
my kids hating their dad

any more than they already do.

Well, then I should head out.

-I don't want Martin
to see the
rage
on my face.
-[sighs]

No, stay. Martin is coming over

with somebody
I want you to meet--

Samantha and Tyrell's birth mom.

You've spoken of her.

So Martin and Smitty are
encouraging this relationship?

Following the kids' lead.

Her name is June.

She's had a difficult life,

but she is working really hard
to get through it.

-Mm.
-I think you'll like her.

Have you spoken to your sister?

No, not since yesterday. Why?

Well, the last
Vernon and I heard,

she was on a spontaneous trip
to Sin City.

Huh. First I've heard of it.

I assume it's work-related.

Something to do
with the modeling agency.

Or Dani just needed
a night of reckless abandon

after everything she just
went through with Chelsea.

Oh, Lord,
why did you have to say that?

No one does abandon quite
as recklessly as your sister.

I have the rings.

-18 bucks each, baby.
-Ooh.

-No expense spared for my bride.
-[chuckles]

Perfect.

Now we can resume the ceremony.

-Places, everybody.
-Ooh.

Andre and Danielle,

would you please place your...

symbols of love
on each other's finger.

Oh. Hold still.

-Your finger's moving.
-It's not moving.

You're moving.

[giggles]

-And... boop. Mm.
-[grunts]

-Join hands.
-[clears throat]

And repeat after me.

"I take you to be my partner
in life's journey."

-I take you to be my partner--
-I take you be my partner--

-Oh. Oh. Life's journey.
-Wait. Hold on. Journeys.

-Mm-hmm.
-[snorts]

"To love and to cherish
through laughter and tears."

To love and to cherish
through laughter and--

Beer. Definitely beer.

Ooh. And late-night tacos.

-Yes.
-[chuckles]

"For all of my days,

"I choose you.

I stand by you."

-For all of my days.
-For all of my nights.
[stammers]

-I mean "days."
-You said "nights."

I know, but nights
are important, too.

-Can we include nights?
-Mm.

"With this ring, I thee wed,

"with all that I am

and all that I will be."

With this ring
that tastes like a cigar.

With this cigar
that looks like a ring.

Close enough.

By the power vested in me
by the state of Nevada,

the Knotty Dreams Chapel,

-and my online certification,
I pronounce you...
-[chuckling]

...husband and wife.

[lisps]:
You may now kiss your bride!

[laughing]

[confetti popper pops]

[laughing]

-Mmm.
-Mmm.

[giggling]

It's so beautiful.

-[giggling]
-[softly]: You're so beautiful.

-[moaning]
-Mmm!

So my brother's gone now.

You want to tell me
what's really going on

between you and Kat?
And do not give me

that same PR statement
you fed Martin.

That obvious, huh?

Did things get any better
after the big fight

or are you still in
the same toxic loop?

[sighs]

I really thought
we turned a corner

after that whole Eva mess.

So what happened?

Things actually got much better.

And then much worse.

Kat did apologize
for putting me in the middle

of you two, though.

Apologized?

Are we talking
about the same bougie princess?

Kat seemed... different.

I don't know. Like...

she'd had
this whole attitude adjustment.

And not just about you
but about all of our issues.

It was everything
I've been wanting to hear.

How I was gonna be better,
more understanding

about his friendship with Eva,

more present
in our relationship.

"New year, new me" energy.

And I meant it.

That took courage.

And he was so great about it.

He said all the right things.

He even planned
this perfect romantic date--

hotel, flowers, champagne.

Oh, wow.
Tomas wasn't playing around.

TOMAS:

how much I appreciated her,

that I was willing
to meet her halfway.

Look at you,
going all romance novel hero.

It was going great, too.

Kat seemed
like she was really into it.

KAT:

It was just anticlimactic.

No need to go any further.

-I get it.
-I don't.

I don't understand
why my body isn't matching up

with my heart and my mind.

I'm attracted to Tomas.

On paper, this man
checks every damn box.

But now he's saying he's not
having fun, either, and that...

that I'm broken.

Hold on. He said that?

Those exact words?

TOMAS:

she was broken. I said maybe...

we're broken, as in sexually.

But Kat gets so damn defensive
and twists my words.

It's like she'd rather...

have the fight
than solve the problem.

No, correction--
she'd rather have the fight

than hear any criticism.

And I never criticized
her lovemaking.

I would never do that.

If anything, she's the one who--

Hold up. Kat isn't trying to say
this is your fault, is she?

NICOLE:

to see you, June.

You look much stronger

than you did last time
we saw each other.

And I'm loving
the color in those cheeks.

You have the food
at Orphey Gene's to thank.

It's almost as addictive

as those drugs
I used to be strung out on.

Martin told me
that you started working there.

How are you liking waitressing?

It's different.

It's gonna take
some getting used to.

Most people are patient
while I'm learning the ropes,

but there have been
a few customers

that make me want
to spit in their oxtail stew.

-[chuckling]
-June.

I'm joking.

Mostly.

[stammers]

I'm not gonna give into
temptation yet.

This job is too important to me.

I just realized you've probably
been on your feet all day.

-Come, sit. Oh.
-[footsteps approaching]

June, this is my mother,

Martin's grandmother, Anita.

Hello, June.

I have been looking forward
to meeting you.

Oh, my God.

She's...

-Anita Williams.
-[Martin chuckles]

[laughs]
Yes, she is.

I hadn't realized
Gran would be here

or I would have given you
a heads-up.

I love you.

[stammers]

I mean "your music."

"I Will Be Alright"
got me through some tough times.

I played it every day.

Sometimes it was the only thing
that kept me from going crazy.

Oh, thank you.
Thank you so much.

That's so kind
of you to say that.

Yes, music has a way of finding
us when we need it most, right?

The right song
in the right moment. [chuckles]

Well, um, shall we have a seat?

June, you're still holding
my grandmother's hand.

-Oh. Oh, God. I'm so sorry.
-[chuckles]

[laughs]
It's absolutely fine.

At least you didn't ask me
to autograph

-a body part. [laughs]
-[laughs]

Would you like some tea?

Anita Williams
is gonna pour me tea.

-[sighs]
-[chuckles softly]

ANDRE:

the best wedding in
all the weddings of the world.

Mm-hmm. Especially
these eco-friendly rings.

-The polar bears would
definitely approve. [laughs]
-[laughs]

-The polar bears
would approve of our rings.
-Oh!

-DANI: Sorry! [laughing]
-How long you give them?

The way they're going,

I'd be surprised if they
even remembered it happened.

[laughs]

I'm not gonna lie.

Telling someone
that they're bad in bed

is a tough one
to come back from.

I didn't mean it.

I was just lashing out

after he hurt my feelings
with that "broken" comment.

Who says that about someone
they supposedly care about?

Right.

You're not gonna like
hearing this.

And I'm saying this with love...

Just say it.

I already feel like trash.

Well, it seems to me

like Tomas was just trying
to help you figure out

what you like.

And the way you do that
is by communicating.

Like, actually talking
and not just dropping hints

and expecting him
to read your mind.

It's just so awkward.

I thought sex would be
more instinctual.

I'm attracted to Tomas.

We have great chemistry.

Shouldn't that be enough?

Well, chemistry gets you
into the bedroom,

but communication gets you
to an orgasm.

You're also just putting
too much pressure on yourself

and Tomas.

There is pressure.

Every relationship podcast,

magazine article,
even IG post says

if you don't have
mind-blowing sex the first time,

your relationship is doomed.

Kat, you're smart, okay?

You know not to believe that.

But if I don't get this right,
he's gonna leave me for someone

who knows
what the hell they're doing.

So you don't trust him and his
feelings for you? Is that it?

No, that's not it.

You feel like you're being
judged when you're together?

Kat, no wonder you can't relax.

Your body can't let go

when your mind is doing calculus
the whole time.

But the question is,

is that coming from him
or from you?

So let me get this straight--
you go all out

for Miss Tax Bracket Bragger--

fancy suite, champagne
that probably costs more

than my hotel stay--

and that's her reaction?

Kat says you're bad in bed?

Damn, Eva, I don't want
that rumor getting out there.

It's bad enough
your sister's out here

assassinating my character.

Well, we're obviously not
taking it seriously.

Anyone with half a brain
would know that's ridiculous.

It's not like
you could know for sure.

I know.

Okay?

Well, I appreciate
the vote of confidence,

but I do have to take
some responsibility.

I had an idea that Kat wasn't
ready to lose her virginity.

Look, nobody pushes Kat
into anything.

She wouldn't have taken
that step

if she didn't want
to be with you.

I don't know. I got the sense

she was trying
to talk herself into it.

And I guess
I let her talk me into it, too.

So what's your gut
telling you now?

You still don't think
she's ready?

Seems pretty obvious.

Well, just...

show her that it's
not all about the sex,

that you actually care
about her as a person.

And you're offering this advice

out of loving concern
for your sister?

The same sister you've been
beefing with since day one?

Just trying to be helpful.

I guess I should take your cue,

considering
I ate all of your wedges.

Mm-hmm.

I'll get us some more.

All this relationship drama
is giving me an appetite.

So, what did your source say?

Just that,

as far as my friend knows,

there's no association
between Bill and Joey.

Hey.

There's my husband!

I was beginning to think
the girls kidnapped you.

-Mm-mm. Mmm.
-Mmm.

-How was dinner?
-Uh...

Chelsea doing any better?

Yeah. Yeah, they're both well.

Chelsea's still a little jumpy
in crowded spaces.

Oh. Poor thing.

It's just gonna take
a little time.

Yeah.

How about you?

How's your evening?
Quiet night at home?

So far.

But now that my husband's home,

I'm hoping
to ramp up the volume.

-Mmm. [chuckles]
-Mmm.

-[laughs]
-Okay, okay, okay.

Now, tradition dictates that
I carry you over this threshold.

[laughs]:
This is a dumb tradition.

Look at you being
all strong and husbandly.

Eh, you know.

-Okay. I got it.
-Okay.

-I got it. No, I don't got it.
-[giggles]

-I don't got it. [laughing]
-[laughing]

Perfect landing.

Oh, and the crowd goes wild.

Oh, Olympic-level
husband skills.

-Ten out of ten. Mwah.
-Whoo!

[chuckles]

We really did it.

-Yeah.
-We got married.

Yeah, we did.

-Mm.
-[chuckles]

[chuckles softly]

I think it is beautiful, June,

the way you and your sister
have reconnected.

Are you two
keeping in touch regularly?

We are. Naomi helped me
get a cell phone,

so now I can send text messages

and keep up with Samantha
on her social media.

But not Tyrell, though.

He hasn't accepted
my request yet.

Well, Tyrell has a...

He has a beautiful heart.

But his, um...

He takes his time
measuring people.

But once you've earned
his trust,

he loves
with his whole soul, June.

It'll be worth
the time that it takes.

And I think
it's critically important

and what we sometimes forget
as adults

is that children
need their own agency.

Oh, look who's talking,
Mr. Original Helicopter Parent.

-[chuckles]
-[chuckles] So,

I had to learn the hard way,

but they're perfectly capable

of determining
their own boundaries.

And they're navigating
emotional terrain

that would be challenging
for the most grounded adults.

And on the brighter side,

it seems like Samantha
has clearly made her choice.

We are having lunch tomorrow.
[chuckles]

I keep rehearsing
the conversations in my head,

but I just keep coming up
with stupid things

that make her run out.

What if I don't know
how to be what Samantha needs?

What's important
to Tyrell and Samantha

is knowing
that they are important to you.

And you're showing that
right now.

And that speaks
infinitely louder

than any words
you can share over lunch.

And we want you to know

that you're not doing this
alone.

We all have deep respect for
the mountains you're climbing.

And everyone in this room
not only wants you to succeed

but to soar.

HAYLEY:
Bill.

-Coming to bed?
-Yeah.

Yeah, yeah.
I'm just wrapping this up.

Give me
about five minutes, baby.

I'm only going to ask once more.

Are you coming

to bed?

Most definitely.

You know how you promised
to make up

-for the makeup sex we missed?
-Mm-hmm.

Well, it's been on my mind.

And I think
I've been remarkably patient.

Mmm.

You know what I realized?

What's that, handsome?

That I should probably argue
with you

on a more regular basis.

Mmm.

-Daily, even.
-[chuckles softly]

-[chuckles softly]
-Careful what you wish for.

I fight... dirty.

-You promise?
-Mmm.

[moaning, chuckling]

[grunting]

Got it.
[grunts]

[moaning softly]

[laughs]

-Andre.
-Mm.

-Andre.
-[groaning softly]

You're so cute.

[snoring softly]

I wonder...

[blows raspberry]

[snoring continues]

[chuckles]

Okay.
