00:00:00Is the wine okay?
00:00:10It's fine.
00:00:19What's that?
00:00:20Grace, I want us to start over.
00:00:24I love you.
00:00:27You were with someone else.
00:00:30How do you expect me to trust you again?
00:00:33Gracie, you gotta let me draw.
00:00:54I'm so sorry.
00:01:01Thanks for walking me to my car.
00:01:03Yeah.
00:01:04This is nice.
00:01:05Can I call you tomorrow?
00:01:08Jason, just come home.
00:01:11I'm ready to try again.
00:01:12Come here.
00:01:13You'll have to do better than that.
00:01:35First one to the top wins.
00:01:36Victory!
00:01:37I'm gonna miss this.
00:01:45Mom.
00:01:46What?
00:01:47This is where we used to have your birthday parties when you were little, and we've come
00:01:51to love our morning runs here.
00:01:52Hey, we said no tears.
00:01:54I'm only moving 15 minutes away.
00:01:56Just wait until you're a mother.
00:01:57He'll understand.
00:01:58Bright side.
00:01:59You can start running with that again.
00:02:02Your father hates to run.
00:02:03He hates to lose.
00:02:04Maybe I should let him win too.
00:02:07Hey, I won fair and square.
00:02:09Race you home?
00:02:10Go.
00:02:11Good morning, Sam.
00:02:12Liz!
00:02:13Christina!
00:02:14Good morning!
00:02:15You just don't have any... you can run without me, though.
00:02:30There you are.
00:02:31Hey, sweetheart.
00:02:32You said you'd come running with us.
00:02:33I'm sorry.
00:02:35I just got caught up with the case and all the...
00:02:38Okay.
00:02:39I just can't keep up with you two.
00:02:41Well, at least stay for breakfast.
00:02:43And before you say no, just remember, I'm moving out.
00:02:46Wait, you finally found a roommate?
00:02:48I'm meeting a few more candidates today, but I might hang some more flyers on campus just
00:02:52to be safe.
00:02:53Sweetheart, we can cover the other half of the rent until you find somebody.
00:02:56Thank you, but I'm sure it'll work out.
00:02:59Come on, stay.
00:03:00Mom's making pancakes.
00:03:0120 minutes?
00:03:03Thank you, Liz.
00:03:04These were delicious.
00:03:05Yeah, thanks, Mom.
00:03:06You're welcome, sweetie.
00:03:07It's amazing you found time to fill all these baking orders.
00:03:08Luckily, Christina helped.
00:03:09But what are you going to do when I move out?
00:03:10You can't do all this by yourself.
00:03:11Well, maybe it's time I hired some help.
00:03:12Dad could help.
00:03:13I guess you didn't tell her.
00:03:14Tell me what?
00:03:15Your dad's up for managing partner.
00:03:16Ah!
00:03:17I'm so sorry.
00:03:18I'm so sorry.
00:03:19I'm sorry.
00:03:20I'm sorry.
00:03:21I'm sorry.
00:03:22I'm sorry.
00:03:23I'm sorry.
00:03:24I'm sorry.
00:03:25I'm sorry.
00:03:26I'm sorry.
00:03:27I'm sorry.
00:03:28I'm sorry.
00:03:29I'm sorry.
00:03:30I'm sorry.
00:03:31I'm sorry.
00:03:32I'm sorry.
00:03:33I'm sorry.
00:03:34I'm sorry.
00:03:35I'm sorry.
00:03:36I'm sorry.
00:03:37Ah!
00:03:38That's fantastic!
00:03:39Will you hire me as summer associate?
00:03:40Oh my God, I love you.
00:03:41But it's not a done deal.
00:03:42Yet.
00:03:43Which is why I won't have much free time.
00:03:44So I'm sorry I can't help more, Liz.
00:03:45It's okay.
00:03:46Sam offered to pitch in until I find someone.
00:03:51Sam's helping out, huh?
00:03:52He wanted to thank me for baking Stacy's sweet 16 cake.
00:03:55Oh, which reminds me, Christina, you still haven't told me what you want for your birthday.
00:04:00You know I live for chocolate.
00:04:01But you're keeping this party simple, right? A few friends, finger foods?
00:04:04Small and tasteful.
00:04:07Please be sure that this party's on your calendar.
00:04:09Mom, come on. You'll be here if you can.
00:04:11I have to get to class.
00:04:12Bye, sweetie.
00:04:13Love you guys.
00:04:14Love you too.
00:04:16Have a good day.
00:04:20Did you have to put me on the spot like that?
00:04:22I just don't want her to be disappointed.
00:04:24Well, Liz, she's a big girl now.
00:04:27And she understands the pressure that I'm under.
00:04:29And I don't. I barely have time to plan her party.
00:04:32That's because you're taking on too much.
00:04:34I thought this baking thing was a hobby.
00:04:36It's not a hobby, Noah. It's my job.
00:04:39And you said you supported it.
00:04:41And I do, Liz.
00:04:43But this promotion is more than just putting in the hours.
00:04:46I've got dinners. I've got functions.
00:04:49I'll need you there.
00:04:50And I can't do both?
00:04:55Morning, Noah.
00:04:56Sam.
00:04:57So, where can I start?
00:05:00Can you fold bakery boxes?
00:05:02You got it.
00:05:07You should go or you're going to be late.
00:05:14Is everything okay?
00:05:16Yeah.
00:05:27Hey.
00:05:28Hey.
00:05:29You're putting up more flyers?
00:05:31Still looking for that perfect roommate.
00:05:33Babe, I'm here for you.
00:05:35And you know I'm a good cook, too.
00:05:37We've only been dating a couple months. You can't move in.
00:05:39Still spend the night, right?
00:05:41Think about it.
00:05:43Think about it. Think about this.
00:05:47Don't you have a class?
00:05:49Careful. There's a lot of weirdos out there.
00:05:52Careful. There's a lot of weirdos out there.
00:06:03So, my boyfriend was cheating on me with one of my sorority sisters.
00:06:07And there's no way that I'm going to keep living with that slut in the Kappa Beta Kappa house.
00:06:12Uh, so you're looking for a new place to live?
00:06:15And that's why I like cats more than I like humans.
00:06:18Oh, okay. And you own a lot of cats.
00:06:21I prefer to say I cohabitate.
00:06:23You're not allergic, are you?
00:06:25Hi. Just a second.
00:06:31Sorry.
00:06:37Christina, right?
00:06:39Yeah. I'm Melissa. It's so nice to meet you.
00:06:41You as well.
00:06:43So you said on the phone you just moved here?
00:06:45That's right. Needed a fresh start. Bad breakup.
00:06:50He was kind of a jerk, so it wasn't hard getting over him. His loss.
00:06:54So was it difficult transferring schools?
00:06:56Oh, I'm not a student. I saw your ad at a cafe.
00:06:59Oh, which one?
00:07:01This cafe. It's right next door to the hospital I volunteer at.
00:07:05I love this place. We study here all the time.
00:07:07And that's really sweet that you volunteer at the hospital, by the way.
00:07:10I spent a lot of time at hospitals when I was a kid.
00:07:13Oh, were you sick?
00:07:15My dad pinged me out of cancer.
00:07:17Oh, I'm so sorry.
00:07:19During his treatments, the nurses would take care of me.
00:07:21We'd play poker, eat ice cream, which made everything a little less scary.
00:07:25And now you volunteer.
00:07:27Yeah, I understand what people are going through.
00:07:29And I want to try to make it easier. If I can.
00:07:32Plus, I'm a pretty good poker shark now.
00:07:34Good to know.
00:07:36Tell me about you.
00:07:38I'm a law student. First year.
00:07:40I want to fight for the underdog.
00:07:42Like my dad used to do before he had to go into corporate law to pay the bills.
00:07:47So, I do have to ask, just because we're splitting the rent.
00:07:50You work, right?
00:07:52Oh, yeah. I'm a personal trainer.
00:07:54I work as an office temp.
00:07:56I even walk dogs.
00:07:58I know it doesn't sound very ambitious.
00:08:00But the truth is, I always wanted to get married.
00:08:03Have that perfect family.
00:08:05No judgment. My mom loved being a housewife.
00:08:07And now she runs a bakery business out of our house.
00:08:10That's amazing. Your mom sounds really smart.
00:08:13Thanks. She is.
00:08:15So, the apartment is actually just off campus.
00:08:17Do you want to walk over and check it out?
00:08:19I'd love to.
00:08:27You're in early.
00:08:29Trying to give me a run for managing partner?
00:08:31Worried?
00:08:33Not really. I signed two new clients before breakfast.
00:08:35Good morning, Patricia.
00:08:37Morning.
00:08:39Thank you very much. Any messages?
00:08:41On your desk.
00:08:44Oh, boy. What'd you do now?
00:08:46Send roses. Two dozen.
00:08:48That bad, huh?
00:08:50Mr. Ellis needs Carson's file. It wasn't on your desk.
00:08:52I've got it right here.
00:08:54I think I found a loophole for the non-competes.
00:08:56A loophole that could win the case.
00:09:04We wouldn't even have to go to trial.
00:09:06Carson's son let it slip. He's adopted.
00:09:08And if I find the right precedent,
00:09:10he can form the company independently.
00:09:12And finally kick his partner to the curb.
00:09:14Bingo.
00:09:16You gonna pitch it to Ellis?
00:09:18Just gonna grab the file.
00:09:20I was reviewing it this morning.
00:09:22Christina must have accidentally taken it.
00:09:24Then you better get it. Ellis is due in court in an hour.
00:09:30Come on in.
00:09:32Sorry about the mess.
00:09:34So, there's two bedrooms.
00:09:36You can have the bigger one if you want.
00:09:38It looks like you barely moved in.
00:09:41I'm in the process.
00:09:43Tonight's my first night.
00:09:45Let's see, what else can I tell you?
00:09:47There is a laundry facility in the building.
00:09:49And a gym.
00:09:51A gym? Perfect.
00:09:53I could use it for my personal training clients.
00:09:55So you like it?
00:09:57Well, I mean, I could use a little personality.
00:09:59Maybe some art.
00:10:01I have a really big painting that would look great over there.
00:10:03And another one right over here.
00:10:05One that would be perfect there and there.
00:10:07Maybe some wallpaper.
00:10:09How do you feel about decorative pillows?
00:10:11Um...
00:10:13Sorry.
00:10:15We haven't made this official.
00:10:17If you need more time.
00:10:19When can you move in?
00:10:21Thank you!
00:10:23I've been looking for a while.
00:10:25You wouldn't believe how many weirdos are out there.
00:10:27Actually, I would.
00:10:29Oh, no.
00:10:31Bad news?
00:10:33Um, yeah.
00:10:35I think I have a file my dad needs.
00:10:38Damn.
00:10:40His office is downtown and I have class in 20 minutes.
00:10:42I could take the exam.
00:10:44I have the day free.
00:10:46I can't ask you to do that.
00:10:48I'm offering.
00:10:50You just helped me out in a really big way.
00:10:52Listen.
00:10:54Today is the anniversary of losing my father.
00:10:56And...
00:10:58Oh, I'm so sorry.
00:11:00No, it's okay.
00:11:02It happened a long time ago.
00:11:04I was a kid.
00:11:06It helps, you know?
00:11:08Of course.
00:11:10I mean, thank you.
00:11:12I'll text you the address.
00:11:14Great.
00:11:28Hello, I'm here to see Noah Davis.
00:11:30Your name?
00:11:32Alyssa Winters.
00:11:35Yes, she said her father needed this.
00:11:37Oh, thanks. I'll give it to him.
00:11:39I told Christina I would give it to him personally.
00:11:41I'm Mr. Davis' assistant.
00:11:43Then you can show me to his office.
00:11:45Follow me.
00:11:51Noah, someone to see you.
00:11:53Mr. Davis?
00:11:55Can I help you?
00:11:57I'm Alyssa, Christina's new roommate.
00:11:59She said you needed this.
00:12:01Her new roommate?
00:12:0330 minutes ago.
00:12:05Christina had a class, so I offered to bring over the file.
00:12:07Well, thank you.
00:12:09That's very generous.
00:12:11My pleasure.
00:12:13This is a really nice office.
00:12:15You must be the best attorney they have.
00:12:17Second best.
00:12:19Peter Buchanan. And you are?
00:12:21You should stop by for dinner.
00:12:23You and your wife.
00:12:25Once Christina and I get settled.
00:12:27Of course.
00:12:29Well, I'll get out of your hair.
00:12:32Likewise.
00:12:34Alyssa.
00:12:36Thanks again for the files.
00:12:40Who's that?
00:12:42That's Christina's new roommate.
00:12:44And she's inviting you to dinner.
00:12:48Good morning, Mr. Ellis.
00:12:50Good morning.
00:12:52If you're headed to the courthouse, I can give you a ride.
00:12:54Thank you, Peter. Patricia said you wanted to see me.
00:12:56Yes, sir. It's about the Carson case.
00:12:58Peter, why don't you head down and bring the car around for Mr. Ellis?
00:13:00This will just take a moment.
00:13:04So I think I found a loophole for the non-competes.
00:13:10Ta-da.
00:13:12Oh, I love that.
00:13:26I promised myself I would never eat Chinese food ever again.
00:13:29But here I am in my brand new apartment.
00:13:33Well, you really went all out, didn't you?
00:13:35I promised I wouldn't, but I can't help myself.
00:13:39So?
00:13:41What did you decide?
00:13:43About what?
00:13:45About the bakery.
00:13:47Wait, did you talk to Noah? You said you were ready.
00:13:49We've barely had time to talk about anything.
00:13:51We're not working.
00:13:53We're winding and dining as clients.
00:13:55So...
00:13:57I guess it'll have to wait.
00:13:59Why does it have to wait?
00:14:01I have a friend in commercial real estate.
00:14:03I can get you a list of properties.
00:14:05I couldn't ask you to do that.
00:14:07Liz, you were there for me when my wife died.
00:14:09I couldn't have made it through without you.
00:14:11Please.
00:14:13Let me just return the favor.
00:14:17You already are.
00:14:19I couldn't have made it through the last couple of weeks without your help.
00:14:21Ahem.
00:14:27Christine will be so pleased.
00:14:29I thought the party wasn't for another hour.
00:14:31Uh, Liz needed some help setting up.
00:14:33So...
00:14:35Sweetie, why don't you go inside and get ready for the party?
00:14:57Can I come in?
00:14:59Sure.
00:15:01Well, you're not dressed for the party.
00:15:03I'm not feeling up to it.
00:15:05Are you okay?
00:15:09I was unpacking and I found some old photos.
00:15:11Of my ex.
00:15:15I wasn't completely honest when I said I was over him.
00:15:19Did he cheat on you?
00:15:21He cheated on his wife.
00:15:24So he was married.
00:15:26I didn't know.
00:15:28Doctors don't always wear their rings.
00:15:30He was a doctor and you were a volunteer.
00:15:32That doesn't sound fair.
00:15:34When I found out the truth, I finally broke it off.
00:15:36He lost it and filed a harassment claim with HR.
00:15:40You know what?
00:15:42The best way to get over him
00:15:44is to get back out there.
00:15:46Marcus is bringing his roommate to the party tonight.
00:15:48He is very cute.
00:15:50I don't know.
00:15:52I don't know.
00:15:54You said you need a fresh start, right?
00:15:56Come on.
00:15:58It'll be fun.
00:16:02Okay.
00:16:04Come on.
00:16:06Let's find you a killer dress to wear.
00:16:09Marcus!
00:16:11Hey, guys.
00:16:13This is my new roommate, Alyssa.
00:16:15How are you doing? Marcus Jackson.
00:16:17This is my roommate, Craig Porter.
00:16:19Hey, I know you.
00:16:21I saw your registration this week.
00:16:23You're a nurse, right?
00:16:25I'm just a volunteer.
00:16:27Okay.
00:16:29Well, I'm just a doctor.
00:16:31Oh.
00:16:33I'm sorry.
00:16:35I'm just a volunteer.
00:16:37Oh.
00:16:39Bad joke?
00:16:41Yeah.
00:16:43I mean,
00:16:45you have something against doctors?
00:16:47Not at all.
00:16:49Okay.
00:16:51Well, how about we get some coffee sometime?
00:16:53I don't think so.
00:16:57Be nice.
00:17:03I'm an idiot.
00:17:06I'm a doctor, and it did not end well.
00:17:08Just let me talk to her.
00:17:10Don't worry about it, man.
00:17:12She's new. It's okay.
00:17:16Alyssa, I'm so sorry about that.
00:17:18Hey, birthday girl.
00:17:20Patricia Wright.
00:17:22Hi. Happy birthday.
00:17:24Oh, honey, do you know if any of these have peanuts?
00:17:26I'll write your allergy.
00:17:28Give me a minute, and I'll check.
00:17:30Thanks.
00:17:32Well, hi, Alyssa.
00:17:34I thought we were having a conversation.
00:17:36No interruption.
00:17:38Well, I'm sorry.
00:17:40No, it's fine.
00:17:42Just give us a second.
00:17:44Absolutely.
00:17:46Alyssa, I should have told you Kirk was a doctor.
00:17:48I wasn't thinking.
00:17:50But he's a great guy.
00:17:52Don't judge him.
00:17:54It's too soon.
00:17:56Okay, I thought you understood.
00:17:58Can you please just drop it?
00:18:04Leaving?
00:18:06I shouldn't have come.
00:18:08I'm not in the party mood.
00:18:10I know how you feel.
00:18:14What are you drinking?
00:18:16Scotch.
00:18:18You want one?
00:18:25Yeah.
00:18:27Thanks again for bringing that file.
00:18:29It was a big help.
00:18:32So,
00:18:34how's the place coming along?
00:18:36Well, our upstairs
00:18:38neighbor stomps around like Bigfoot.
00:18:40But otherwise,
00:18:42it's good.
00:18:44You plan on taking us up on that dinner invite?
00:18:46Your wife has.
00:18:48Twice.
00:18:50Work's just been hectic.
00:18:52Christina mentioned
00:18:54you're up for managing partner.
00:18:56Yeah, it's between me and another colleague.
00:18:58Tell me it's not
00:19:00that sleazy guy who couldn't stop staring at my ass.
00:19:02Actually,
00:19:04it is.
00:19:06Can you beat him?
00:19:08He likes to play dirty.
00:19:10My advice?
00:19:12Don't be like that.
00:19:14I believe
00:19:16if you work hard, you should get what you deserve.
00:19:20It doesn't always work that way.
00:19:23Peter.
00:19:25Here you're having a party.
00:19:27Sorry I wasn't invited.
00:19:29What do you need?
00:19:31Big client got arrested last night.
00:19:33So, Andrew sends his regrets,
00:19:35but he won't make the party.
00:19:37We're working on the brief for the judge right now.
00:19:39I handle the briefs, Peter.
00:19:41I know.
00:19:43But, Andrew is really impressed
00:19:45with my work so far.
00:19:47Tell Christina happy birthday.
00:19:49Thanks.
00:19:51Tell Christina happy birthday.
00:19:57Damn it.
00:19:59Is everything okay?
00:20:01Yeah, I've just gotta head back into the office.
00:20:03This is gonna kill me.
00:20:07Enjoy the rest of your night.
00:20:10Well, we knew you wouldn't keep it small,
00:20:12but tasteful.
00:20:14Where is your father?
00:20:16You don't know.
00:20:18I saw him earlier.
00:20:20He's right here.
00:20:22Dad, where are you?
00:20:24I'm at the office.
00:20:26The client needed me.
00:20:28It's okay, I understand.
00:20:30You just left?
00:20:32Why didn't you say something?
00:20:34I didn't want to spoil the party.
00:20:36Chrissy, I love you.
00:20:38I will make it up to you.
00:20:40Mom, he said he was sorry.
00:20:42He always says he's sorry.
00:21:08Liz.
00:21:10Happy birthday, dear Christina.
00:21:14Happy birthday to you.
00:21:24That was perfect.
00:21:26Thank you, Alyssa.
00:21:28For everything.
00:21:38Sam?
00:21:40Where's Liz and Christina?
00:21:42Uh, Christina took off with some friends a while ago,
00:21:44and Liz is upstairs taking a nap.
00:21:46You might want to give her some space.
00:21:48Okay.
00:21:50You can leave now.
00:21:52I got it from here.
00:21:54Dave?
00:21:56What'd you say?
00:21:58I don't know.
00:22:00I don't know.
00:22:02I don't know.
00:22:04I don't know.
00:22:07What'd you say?
00:22:11Nothing.
00:22:21Liz.
00:22:23I'm sorry.
00:22:27You always apologize with flowers.
00:22:31Where did you even find them at this hour?
00:22:33You bought me food for the party.
00:22:35No.
00:22:37I didn't.
00:22:39Why don't you understand
00:22:41the pressure that I'm under?
00:22:43I asked you for one night, Noah.
00:22:45For our daughter.
00:22:47Christina knows what's at stake.
00:22:49And she believes in me.
00:22:51I believe in you.
00:22:53You believe in Sam.
00:22:55What?
00:22:57You cheer him on with whatever he does,
00:22:59and I show up late for dinner and you give me hell.
00:23:02That is not true.
00:23:04I have always supported you.
00:23:08Honey, if I have ever made you feel otherwise,
00:23:10I'm sorry.
00:23:12Support goes both ways, Noah.
00:23:14I want to open
00:23:16a bakery.
00:23:18And you will, Liz.
00:23:20But if I don't get this promotion,
00:23:22I'm gonna have to start over.
00:23:24I'd need to open my own firm.
00:23:26Why do I always have to put my life on hold
00:23:28so that you get what you want?
00:23:32I'm sorry.
00:23:50I'm sorry.
00:23:52The back door was open.
00:23:54And I didn't want to wake anyone up.
00:23:56Is Christina here?
00:23:58She left with Marcus.
00:24:00I didn't realize I was missing an earring.
00:24:02My dad gave me these,
00:24:04and they mean a lot, so...
00:24:06I shouldn't have barged in, I'm sorry.
00:24:08No, no, that's okay.
00:24:12Those are beautiful.
00:24:14Yeah, that's what I was hoping Liz would say.
00:24:18You would have been here if you could.
00:24:20And you told Christina
00:24:22you'd make it up to her,
00:24:24so that's all that matters.
00:24:26How about that dinner?
00:24:29Liz, I'll cook for you and Christina.
00:24:31You cook?
00:24:33On occasion.
00:24:37Tomorrow?
00:24:39Deal.
00:24:41Perfect.
00:24:43Would you, um,
00:24:45give these to Christina for me?
00:24:47Of course.
00:24:49And, um, here.
00:24:51No, thank you
00:24:53for trying to help with the party today.
00:24:55I really appreciate that.
00:24:59Good night, Mr. Davis.
00:25:01Noah.
00:25:05Noah.
00:25:20What is all this?
00:25:22Surprise.
00:25:24I can't believe you did all this.
00:25:26I'm sorry, I never should have left your party.
00:25:28This more than makes up for it.
00:25:30I'll be right back.
00:25:32It smells so good.
00:25:34My compliments to the chef.
00:25:36Oh, here.
00:25:40I'm starving.
00:25:42Well, uh,
00:25:44let's eat.
00:25:46Where's Mom?
00:25:48She had a rush order to fill.
00:25:50Pretty soon she's going to have to open her own bakery.
00:25:52Dad, she could have ten bakeries.
00:25:54None of it matters if she thinks you don't support her.
00:25:58Fine.
00:26:00What's your advice?
00:26:02Well, all she's ever wanted is to spend more time with you,
00:26:04and you know what she loves doing almost as much as baking.
00:26:06No.
00:26:08Anything but that.
00:26:10My mom has been begging him to go running with her,
00:26:12but he is always finding excuses.
00:26:14What is running going to fix?
00:26:16It's a romantic gesture.
00:26:18Way better than flowers.
00:26:20Okay, well, I'm not exactly in the best shape, so...
00:26:22All you have to do is rebuild your stamina.
00:26:24Alyssa's a personal trainer.
00:26:27I don't know.
00:26:29It'll be easy. Two weeks.
00:26:31And we'll start early so it doesn't interfere with work.
00:26:33Come on.
00:26:35For Mom.
00:26:39Okay.
00:26:41How hard could it be?
00:26:45Pace yourself.
00:26:47I didn't...
00:26:49Noah.
00:26:51Yes?
00:26:53Maybe we should take a break.
00:26:55You don't want to hurt yourself.
00:26:57Okay, we're stopping.
00:27:03You weren't kidding when you said you were out of shape.
00:27:05Here I thought I was getting faster.
00:27:07We've only been training
00:27:09a couple of days like a bear.
00:27:11Well,
00:27:13I need to get there faster.
00:27:15Easy, tiger.
00:27:17Running with your wife isn't likely to fix your marriage.
00:27:19But you're a good guy for trying.
00:27:21Maybe Alyssa's right.
00:27:24She mentioned seeing a therapist.
00:27:26My parents did.
00:27:28Yeah?
00:27:30Did it help?
00:27:32It made things worse.
00:27:34Great.
00:27:36I was relieved when they got a divorce.
00:27:38I don't want a divorce.
00:27:40I love my wife.
00:27:42My dad loved my mom.
00:27:44He tried so hard
00:27:46but nothing was ever good enough.
00:27:48She couldn't see how perfect he was.
00:27:50So she left him.
00:27:52Eventually he found someone else,
00:27:54someone better.
00:27:56He was finally happy.
00:27:58You deserve to be happy too.
00:28:00I got a busy day.
00:28:02I should get to the office.
00:28:06No, wait.
00:28:16Oh, your lunch is here.
00:28:18I didn't order anything.
00:28:21Every guy said it was for you.
00:28:23From who?
00:28:25Something about a promotion?
00:28:27I mean, Patricia,
00:28:29you are always sticking your business cards
00:28:31in these winter-free lunch bowls.
00:28:33True, but this is Chinese chicken salad.
00:28:35I can't eat this.
00:28:37Here, you take it.
00:28:39I already ate.
00:28:41But it says no peanuts on the receipt.
00:28:43Huh, it does.
00:28:45Well, who said there's no such thing as a free lunch?
00:28:47Okay, we got everything done.
00:28:49I can't believe it.
00:28:51I think this was your biggest sales day yet.
00:28:53It felt like it.
00:28:55Hey, what if I were to loan you the money?
00:28:57I couldn't ask you to do that.
00:28:59No, I could underwrite the business
00:29:01until you're ready to take it over.
00:29:03That's very kind of you, Sam.
00:29:05Well, I believe in what you're doing.
00:29:09I can tell you have talent
00:29:11and that shouldn't be stifled.
00:29:15Just think about it, that's all.
00:29:19I will.
00:29:21Great.
00:29:27Hey, Noah.
00:29:29Thank you, Patricia.
00:29:31Are you feeling okay?
00:29:33I don't know.
00:29:35Maybe I'm coming down with something.
00:29:37All right, well, why don't you go home?
00:29:39Get some rest.
00:29:41Yeah.
00:29:43Patricia!
00:29:45Can somebody get help?
00:29:48Anyone?
00:29:50Patricia, hang in there.
00:29:52Noah, hold her head.
00:29:54Is she allergic to anything?
00:29:56Does anyone have an EpiPen?
00:29:58I think she has one in her purse.
00:30:00Her pulse is rising.
00:30:02She's going into anaphylactic shock.
00:30:04Hold her head back.
00:30:06I have to try to open up her airway.
00:30:08Patricia?
00:30:10Hold on, Patricia.
00:30:14You're going to be okay.
00:30:16Noah.
00:30:25Noah.
00:30:26Liz.
00:30:27I called the office and heard about Patricia.
00:30:29How is she?
00:30:31She's okay.
00:30:33Thank goodness.
00:30:35How are you?
00:30:37We haven't really spoken since the party.
00:30:39Liz, I can't get into this right now.
00:30:41Do you still want me to join you
00:30:43for your client dinner tonight?
00:30:46Okay.
00:30:48I'll see you at home.
00:30:50We'll talk then.
00:31:02You're still here.
00:31:04How is she?
00:31:06The doctors say she'll be fine.
00:31:08How did you know how to do that?
00:31:10I volunteer with children.
00:31:12Kids are in the hospital all the time
00:31:14with allergic reactions.
00:31:16Patricia's so careful.
00:31:18I should sue that restaurant.
00:31:22I'm sure it was just an accident.
00:31:24That's no excuse.
00:31:26She could have been killed if you weren't here.
00:31:28Why are you here?
00:31:32I wanted to apologize for this morning.
00:31:34I overstressed.
00:31:38Well, I should call Patricia's husband
00:31:40and I need to get somebody to cover the desk.
00:31:43I can do it.
00:31:45I can just call my temp agency
00:31:47and have them assign me here for as long as you need.
00:31:49Is there anything you can't do?
00:32:03I updated your calendar
00:32:05for the rest of the week.
00:32:09You seem to be burning the candle at both ends.
00:32:11You didn't even touch your lunch.
00:32:13I'm so sorry.
00:32:15I should have sent you home hours ago.
00:32:17Do you like Chinese?
00:32:25No.
00:32:27Thank you for this.
00:32:29I didn't even realize how hungry I was.
00:32:31You need me to prepare anything for tomorrow?
00:32:33No.
00:32:35We can go over it on our run tomorrow.
00:32:37I thought I scared you off.
00:32:40I didn't want you to be right.
00:32:42I think I'm avoiding going home
00:32:44because I...
00:32:46I just can't talk to Liz.
00:32:48And this idea of a romantic gesture...
00:32:52I don't know.
00:32:54Maybe I'm just delaying the inevitable.
00:32:56At least you can say you went down fighting.
00:32:58My ex never even tried to fight for us.
00:33:01I thought he was the perfect guy.
00:33:03No such thing.
00:33:05If you don't want to go home,
00:33:07I could get you a hotel room.
00:33:09I hear the Walden's nice.
00:33:13A room at the Walden is tempting,
00:33:15but, uh, let's just go.
00:33:20Liz will probably be asleep anyways.
00:33:22Don't worry, I'll clean this up.
00:33:24Okay.
00:33:26Um, you think you could stay on for a few more days?
00:33:28Patricia should be back by the end of the week.
00:33:30So soon?
00:33:32I'm releasing her from the hospital tomorrow.
00:33:36I'll be happy to cover for her.
00:33:41My pleasure.
00:34:09Alyssa?
00:34:11I didn't know the volunteers worked this late.
00:34:13Well, the kids are here 24-7.
00:34:15Some have trouble sleeping,
00:34:17so I keep them company.
00:34:19Oh, so you work in the children's board.
00:34:21What are you doing on this floor?
00:34:23Coffee break. Care to join?
00:34:27I thought you hated doctors.
00:34:29I was rude at the party.
00:34:31Christina said you're worth getting to know.
00:34:35Well, my shift ends in about ten minutes.
00:34:38Can we meet at the cafe next door?
00:34:40Sure.
00:34:52Oh, hey.
00:34:54What did you tell him about my ex?
00:34:56What?
00:34:58He knew I moved here to get away from Jason.
00:35:00Did you tell him that Jason was married too?
00:35:02Who?
00:35:04Craig. I just had coffee with him.
00:35:06I only said it was a bad breakup.
00:35:08Well, you shouldn't have said anything.
00:35:10You're right. I'm sorry.
00:35:12Did you tell him that my dad died too?
00:35:14What? No.
00:35:16Or that I was just a child when I lost him?
00:35:18Alyssa, I'm so sorry.
00:35:20Don't feel bad for me. I don't need that.
00:35:22I need you to listen, okay?
00:35:24I told you I wasn't ready,
00:35:26and now I have to go on a date with Craig
00:35:28so he doesn't twist things at the hospital
00:35:30and tell people I'm damageless.
00:35:32He would never do that.
00:35:35I'm sorry.
00:35:41Alyssa.
00:35:43Patricia, hi.
00:35:45How are you feeling?
00:35:47I'm fine.
00:35:49I really appreciate your covering for me,
00:35:51but I'm back now.
00:35:53You don't have to be here.
00:35:55Oh, I know. I just wanted to hear the announcement.
00:35:57I'm really proud to know it.
00:35:59I know I worked for him for only a few days,
00:36:01but he's a great guy.
00:36:03Yeah.
00:36:05Yes.
00:36:11Jackson & Ellis is a firm
00:36:13built on loyalty and integrity.
00:36:15So, when it came to choosing
00:36:17a new managing partner,
00:36:19we went with someone who gives tirelessly
00:36:21time and time again.
00:36:23So,
00:36:25it is my great honor
00:36:27to congratulate
00:36:29our new partner,
00:36:32Peter Buchanan.
00:36:44Andrew.
00:36:46Andrew, I respect your decision,
00:36:48but I'm a little confused.
00:36:50If it wasn't for me,
00:36:52we would have lost our biggest client
00:36:54to another firm.
00:36:56You left Carson vulnerable.
00:36:58Did you even bother to figure out
00:37:00Carson's wife had an affair?
00:37:05So, you did know.
00:37:07His son told me.
00:37:09And what if his son has a change of heart,
00:37:11hands the company over to his biological father?
00:37:13Carson is aware
00:37:15of the risks.
00:37:17There shouldn't be any risk.
00:37:19Peter made sure of that when he revised the contract.
00:37:21We have to protect our clients,
00:37:23Noah.
00:37:25Even from themselves.
00:37:30I knew I should have come back sooner.
00:37:32How the hell did Peter know
00:37:34about the paternity?
00:37:36I saw Peter at the hospital when he were in there.
00:37:38What? You're not suggesting that I somehow told him.
00:37:40Noah.
00:37:42Patricia, I know you would never.
00:37:44I wasn't accusing you.
00:37:46I just meant it was weird that he was there so late.
00:37:48But I never saw him.
00:37:50That's because he wasn't visiting.
00:37:52Excuse me.
00:37:55Yeah.
00:37:57We'll celebrate this weekend.
00:37:59Yeah.
00:38:01I need to call you back.
00:38:03How did you know about the affair?
00:38:05Carson's maid drives a hard bargain.
00:38:07But you had to be sure.
00:38:09So you stole his son's medical records.
00:38:11I protected this firm.
00:38:13You didn't.
00:38:15By putting Patricia in the hospital so you had a reason to be there?
00:38:17Now you're just reaching.
00:38:19It's done, Noah.
00:38:21Andrew made his choice. Deal with it.
00:38:23Yeah. Sorry, hon.
00:38:25I know.
00:38:27I know. It's exciting, isn't it?
00:38:29Peter couldn't have gotten the records on his own.
00:38:31He was working with someone at the hospital.
00:38:33Even if he was, we can't prove it.
00:38:35He's right. It's done.
00:38:47Oh.
00:38:49I wasn't expecting you.
00:38:52I didn't get the promotion.
00:38:54What?
00:38:56Oh, Noah. I'm sorry.
00:39:00I can't stay at that firm, Liz.
00:39:02Not after this.
00:39:04I'm so real.
00:39:06Honey, I know you're upset.
00:39:08But it's not worth throwing away your entire career.
00:39:10You've worked too hard.
00:39:12Why can't you just be on my side?
00:39:14I am on your side.
00:39:16Look.
00:39:18Starting a business isn't that simple.
00:39:20I submitted a proposal to the bank for my bakery and they rejected it.
00:39:22If it wasn't for Sam...
00:39:24Sam?
00:39:26Yeah.
00:39:28He offered to advance me the money.
00:39:30Why would he do that, Liz?
00:39:34Because we're friends.
00:39:36You weren't expecting me?
00:39:38I guess you're cooking for him now?
00:39:40I wanted to thank him.
00:39:42Are you sleeping with him?
00:39:46That's what you think.
00:39:49That's what you think.
00:39:51That I'm cheating on you?
00:39:55Get out.
00:40:07Alrighty, Mr. Davis.
00:40:09You're all checked in for one night in our presidential suite.
00:40:11I'll go ahead and call my bellman for your bags.
00:40:13I don't have any bags.
00:40:15Where's the bar?
00:40:17It's going to be right over there.
00:40:19Thanks.
00:40:38What are you drinking?
00:40:42How'd you find me?
00:40:47Figured you'd avoid going home.
00:40:49And take my offer off on the motel.
00:40:54I was wrong.
00:40:56When I told you not to fight dirty.
00:41:00I could never do what he did.
00:41:02Of course not.
00:41:04You're a good guy.
00:41:06You're perfect.
00:41:08If the firm can't see that, they don't deserve you.
00:41:10What he did.
00:41:12If it got out.
00:41:14It could ruin the firm.
00:41:17I made that place what it is.
00:41:19It's my legacy.
00:41:23How can I just turn a blind eye?
00:41:30What's that?
00:41:33Security footage from the hospital.
00:41:35What?
00:41:37I was right.
00:41:39Peter bribed one of the doctors.
00:41:41How did you get-
00:41:43It's better if you don't know.
00:41:45I don't like coffee.
00:41:47I deleted the original.
00:41:49Alyssa, you shouldn't have done that.
00:41:51How else do you expect to start your own firm?
00:41:55It's not like your boss would let you keep your clients without any leverage.
00:41:57No.
00:41:59Liz is right.
00:42:01I'd be throwing everything away if I left.
00:42:07So then stay.
00:42:09And take back your promotion.
00:42:11You deserve to be happy.
00:42:42Morning.
00:42:48You know what? It's okay.
00:42:52No.
00:42:54I shouldn't have done this.
00:42:56It's what you needed.
00:42:58To feel valued.
00:43:00Wanted.
00:43:02No, Alyssa.
00:43:06I can't do this.
00:43:08You don't need to say anything.
00:43:10I know what this was.
00:43:18You really are the perfect guy.
00:43:40Noah.
00:43:42I didn't want to do this over the phone.
00:43:44I'm not having an affair.
00:43:46Please come home so we can talk about it.
00:43:54Good morning.
00:43:56What are you doing home?
00:43:58I just had brunch with my mom.
00:44:00Just grabbing my books.
00:44:02How is she?
00:44:04Fine.
00:44:06Somebody's in a good mood.
00:44:09As a matter of fact, I am.
00:44:11You didn't come home last night.
00:44:13And you're wearing yesterday's clothes.
00:44:15Did you hook up with Craig?
00:44:17Sorry, I'm staying out of it.
00:44:19Did you?
00:44:21Guilty.
00:44:23Details.
00:44:25He was amazing.
00:44:27Perfect.
00:44:29I'm so happy for you guys.
00:44:31We should get drinks.
00:44:33It's not even lunchtime.
00:44:35Is Craig working?
00:44:37I can text him.
00:44:39Christina, I can manage my own life, thanks.
00:44:41I mean, I'm heading to the hospital anyway,
00:44:43so I'll ask him, okay?
00:44:55Alyssa!
00:45:07Alyssa!
00:45:27Scotch.
00:45:29Neat.
00:45:33So,
00:45:36are you waiting for someone?
00:45:38Are you?
00:45:42My wife and I have an understanding.
00:45:46Does she know that?
00:45:52Why?
00:45:54Why not?
00:45:56She's not answering my texts.
00:45:58Craig, she said she'd be here, right?
00:46:00Yeah.
00:46:02Well, then stop worrying.
00:46:04Now that Patricia's back,
00:46:06you can be my secretary.
00:46:08Hmm.
00:46:10Administrative assistant.
00:46:12Whatever.
00:46:14Don't you feel guilty
00:46:16stealing that promotion?
00:46:18I didn't steal anything.
00:46:20It's just business.
00:46:22Gotta play to win.
00:46:24Like chess.
00:46:26You take a turn, right?
00:46:28You take his bishop.
00:46:30Something like that.
00:46:35Then all is fair.
00:46:41You wanna get outta here?
00:46:43Maybe.
00:46:47What do I have to do
00:46:49to make that a yes?
00:46:53Can I borrow your phone?
00:46:55Mine's dead, and
00:46:57I should let my roommate know I happily walked
00:46:59the hall tonight.
00:47:03Barkey.
00:47:05Close it out.
00:47:13You wanna ride with me?
00:47:15I have my own car.
00:47:17All you have to do is follow me.
00:47:32You trying to get away from me?
00:48:03I'm sorry.
00:48:05I'm sorry.
00:48:07I'm sorry.
00:48:09I'm sorry.
00:48:11I'm sorry.
00:48:13I'm sorry.
00:48:15I'm sorry.
00:48:17I'm sorry.
00:48:19I'm sorry.
00:48:21I'm sorry.
00:48:23I'm sorry.
00:48:25I'm sorry.
00:48:27I'm sorry.
00:48:29I'm sorry.
00:48:31Sorry I'm late.
00:48:33I had this at work.
00:48:35Wow, you look incredible.
00:48:37Thanks.
00:48:39I need a drink.
00:48:41We finished the wine.
00:48:43No, there's more in the kitchen.
00:48:45I'll get it.
00:48:47I'm gonna marry that girl.
00:48:49That's just the sex talking.
00:48:51I can't believe you guys already hooked up.
00:48:53It's so crazy.
00:48:55She told you?
00:48:57She couldn't stop smiling this morning.
00:49:00She practically ripped my clothes off.
00:49:04We're gonna make beautiful babies together.
00:49:14Like a woman that can plan my future.
00:49:24Andrew.
00:49:26Could I just stop by? We need to talk.
00:49:28Peter was in a car accident last night.
00:49:32What?
00:49:34Is he okay?
00:49:36Funeral arrangements are being made.
00:49:38What the hell happened?
00:49:42His blood alcohol level was over the limit.
00:49:44Apparently there was something he couldn't live with.
00:49:48You mean he killed himself?
00:49:50I don't know.
00:49:52He texted me.
00:49:54Saying his conscience got the better of him.
00:49:57He didn't want their promotion if it was based on a lie.
00:50:01That doesn't sound like him.
00:50:03I think he got spooked by someone.
00:50:07I just received this by courier.
00:50:11It's footage of Peter sneaking out of the hospital.
00:50:13Now, on its own, it's nothing.
00:50:15But if the doctor he paid to get those medical records comes forward...
00:50:19The firm could be held culpable.
00:50:21Noah.
00:50:23We need you.
00:50:27You think this is how I wanted the promotion?
00:50:29By default?
00:50:31What do you want?
00:50:57What are you doing here?
00:50:59Running.
00:51:01Liz, wait.
00:51:03Have you been working out?
00:51:05As a matter of fact, I have.
00:51:09Why didn't you call me back?
00:51:11I'm sorry.
00:51:13For everything.
00:51:15Can you forgive me?
00:51:21Does it work?
00:51:23No.
00:51:25How much time off?
00:51:27How much time?
00:51:29Well, that's what I wanted to talk to you about.
00:51:31Can we do dinner tonight?
00:51:33Christina said you cook now.
00:51:35I can always cook.
00:51:37You just never let me.
00:51:43I should take care of this.
00:51:45But I'll see you tonight.
00:51:47Six o'clock?
00:51:49Sure.
00:51:55Okay.
00:52:02Melissa.
00:52:04Hi, babe.
00:52:06There's a cute record spot there.
00:52:08I thought you said there was one copy.
00:52:10What?
00:52:12USB drive, Melissa.
00:52:14You sent another copy to Andrew and I told you I didn't want to use it.
00:52:16Then tell him what I did.
00:52:18You can't, can you?
00:52:20Because you know I'm right.
00:52:22Are there any more?
00:52:25No, I swear.
00:52:27Is what I did so bad?
00:52:29You can have whatever you want now.
00:52:31I told Andrew I would handle it.
00:52:33I was working with Peter.
00:52:35Don't worry, I took care of it.
00:52:37My mom and I have run so many miles here.
00:52:39Well, take it easy on me.
00:52:41I didn't grow up running marathons.
00:52:43Okay, race you to the stairs.
00:52:45Please don't hate me.
00:52:47I did this for you.
00:52:49What are you talking about?
00:52:51Dad!
00:52:53We didn't want to hurt you.
00:52:55We're in love.
00:52:57What the hell?
00:52:59Alyssa, get your hands off my father.
00:53:01It's not like that.
00:53:03It just happened.
00:53:05How could you do this to mom?
00:53:07No, don't touch me.
00:53:09You're disgusting.
00:53:11Christina, that's your dad.
00:53:13Show some respect.
00:53:15I want you out of my apartment.
00:53:17Okay, you're being immature.
00:53:19Besides, I found a leaf.
00:53:22If you're a lawyer, could you please weigh in on this?
00:53:24Okay, okay, enough.
00:53:26You're defending her?
00:53:30Who are you?
00:53:32Christina!
00:53:38You should probably stay here tonight.
00:53:42I'm sorry.
00:53:44Don't. It's not your fault.
00:53:48I'll get you a room here, okay?
00:53:50Why? I can just stay with you.
00:53:54That's not happening.
00:53:56You're just worried your wife will find out.
00:53:58No, she probably already knows.
00:54:02I don't want to hurt her any more than I already have.
00:54:08But you have to.
00:54:10It's the only way that we can be together.
00:54:12We could get a place of our own.
00:54:14We barely know each other.
00:54:16But we love each other.
00:54:20I love my wife.
00:54:30Babe, what are we doing?
00:54:32Looking for answers.
00:54:34Look, I know you're upset, but we shouldn't be in here.
00:54:36I have to figure out who she is.
00:54:38By invading her privacy?
00:54:40She seduced my father.
00:54:42And that's not the first time she's gone after a married man.
00:54:44Wait, what?
00:54:46Who's this?
00:54:49If I can figure out who he is, maybe he can tell me more about her.
00:54:53Looks like he's my dad's age.
00:54:55I guess she does have a type.
00:54:57He knew I moved here to get away from Jason.
00:54:59Did you tell him that Jason was married too?
00:55:01And I know his name.
00:55:09Christina, what are we doing?
00:55:11Searching doctors named Jason in Texas.
00:55:15Love, it's a needle in the haystack.
00:55:19I know.
00:55:21There's thousands of them.
00:55:23Christina.
00:55:25I don't want to talk to him.
00:55:27Just give him a chance.
00:55:31Honey, please.
00:55:45How long?
00:55:47Are you...
00:55:49in love with her?
00:55:51It's not about love.
00:55:53Alice is different.
00:55:55And look, I know I have no right to ask you this.
00:55:57I'm not going to lie to mom for you.
00:55:59No.
00:56:01No, I don't want you to.
00:56:03Just...
00:56:05give me time to tell her myself.
00:56:09Are you getting a divorce?
00:56:13Sweetheart, you've never been married.
00:56:16What is that supposed to mean?
00:56:18You don't understand the sacrifices that you have to make.
00:56:20I'm sorry we made your life so miserable.
00:56:22Honey.
00:56:24I love you.
00:56:26And I love your mother.
00:56:28But we were so young when we had you.
00:56:30Younger than you are now.
00:56:32Get out.
00:56:36Christina.
00:56:38I said get out.
00:56:45Get out.
00:57:16Looks like you're begging for a small army here.
00:57:20Yeah.
00:57:22I had six orders come in last minute.
00:57:24Back to back.
00:57:26You need some help?
00:57:28Sure.
00:57:30Stir that.
00:57:32Okay.
00:57:34You know, I...
00:57:36I heard the news about Peter.
00:57:38He's in the hospital.
00:57:40What?
00:57:42He's in the hospital.
00:57:44I heard the news about Peter.
00:57:46It's just awful.
00:57:48Yeah.
00:57:50I can't believe he's gone.
00:57:52I was thinking tomorrow
00:57:54I could bring some food over to his wife.
00:57:56Yeah.
00:57:58I'm sure she'd appreciate that.
00:58:00I can't imagine what she's going through right now.
00:58:06No, if that had been you...
00:58:10What's wrong?
00:58:13Nothing.
00:58:15I'm just glad to be home.
00:58:28Here you go.
00:58:30Wow.
00:58:32You really can cook.
00:58:34You don't remember?
00:58:36When Christina was born, you were so overwhelmed
00:58:38I literally had to learn to cook.
00:58:40I remember never sleeping.
00:58:42It's like right now with the business taking off.
00:58:44And I bet you're loving every minute of it.
00:58:46Just like when Christina was born.
00:58:48Honestly,
00:58:50it's a dream come true.
00:58:52And I should have considered that
00:58:54before shooting down yours.
00:58:56Whatever you want to do,
00:58:58I believe in you.
00:59:04Um, so I talked to Andrew.
00:59:06I told him I could start my own firm.
00:59:08But he agreed that I already built one.
00:59:12He's giving you the promotion?
00:59:14Yeah.
00:59:16Name on the door, everything.
00:59:18No more 80-hour work weeks.
00:59:20Really?
00:59:22Really.
00:59:24Honey.
00:59:26I'll go check it out.
00:59:28Okay.
00:59:38Thanks.
01:00:04Um, yeah, I'm just a little, little whipped cream.
01:00:06Let me get that. There you go.
01:00:10Beer, pecan pies, it's divine.
01:00:12You want an excellence?
01:00:14I'm gonna make two merriment.
01:00:16More coffee?
01:00:18Nah, it's getting late.
01:00:20I should probably get going.
01:00:22You're going back?
01:00:24Yeah.
01:00:26Why?
01:00:28I think we should take it slow.
01:00:30But,
01:00:32I'll come back tomorrow and cook for you.
01:00:34Okay.
01:00:36Tomorrow.
01:00:46I love you.
01:00:48I love you too.
01:01:04I love you too.
01:01:22Alyssa?
01:01:24Stop!
01:01:26I saw you with her.
01:01:28What the hell is the matter with you?
01:01:30I saw you with your wife.
01:01:32You followed me?
01:01:34You don't have the right to ask me anything about my wife.
01:01:38She doesn't care about you.
01:01:40Not like I do.
01:01:44You should go.
01:01:46So that's it?
01:01:50You got what you wanted,
01:01:52and now you're just gonna go back to a job you hate,
01:01:54and a wife you don't.
01:01:56Don't say another word.
01:01:58Your marriage is over, Noah.
01:02:00She has a right to know.
01:02:02Are you threatening me?
01:02:04Let go of me!
01:02:06I'm sorry.
01:02:08I shouldn't have done that.
01:02:10You're a liar.
01:02:12And Liz has a right to know.
01:02:16Don't touch me!
01:02:18Mom?
01:02:28Mom?
01:02:30Wow, sweetie.
01:02:32Thank you for coming by so late.
01:02:36Listen,
01:02:38I wanted to let you know
01:02:40I saw your father today.
01:02:42Are you okay?
01:02:44I mean, this is a stupid question. I'm sorry. How could you be?
01:02:46No, I'm fine.
01:02:48It was nice.
01:02:50What?
01:02:52Yeah, he made dinner. It was pretty good, too.
01:02:54And did you talk about anything?
01:02:56We talked about lots of things.
01:03:00We both know we've made some mistakes,
01:03:02but I think we're ready to move forward now.
01:03:06That's all?
01:03:08Oh, and he kissed me.
01:03:10Listen to me. I sound like a schoolgirl.
01:03:12Sweetie, I thought you'd be happy.
01:03:14I am happy.
01:03:16Honey,
01:03:18as a future attorney,
01:03:20you're gonna need a better poker face.
01:03:24Mom, I don't know how to say this.
01:03:26Just say it.
01:03:30Liz?
01:03:32No. What are you doing here?
01:03:34You're bleeding. What happened?
01:03:38You told her?
01:03:40I didn't say anything. What's going on?
01:03:44One of you, please say something.
01:03:48Kristina, I think you should leave.
01:03:50I'm staying here for Mom.
01:03:52What is going on?
01:03:54Dad.
01:03:58I slept with someone.
01:04:00What?
01:04:02Who?
01:04:06Alyssa.
01:04:08Your roommate?
01:04:10She was helping me to start training to run again with you.
01:04:12And then Patricia got sick
01:04:14and she started helping out around the office
01:04:16and the rest just happened.
01:04:18It was just one time.
01:04:20You knew?
01:04:22Mom, I'm so sorry.
01:04:24Liz, it's not her fault.
01:04:26I wanted to be the one to tell you.
01:04:28Liz, please.
01:04:30I love you.
01:04:32I can't live without you, Liz.
01:04:34Please.
01:04:36I'm sorry.
01:04:42Did she do that to your neck?
01:04:46Were you with her before you came here?
01:04:52I can't even look at you.
01:04:58I told Alyssa it's over.
01:05:00So she didn't take it well?
01:05:02No.
01:05:04You must hate me.
01:05:06I don't hate you.
01:05:08You're my father.
01:05:10But you can't even look at me.
01:05:12I see you
01:05:14as a person who's flawed.
01:05:18So is your hero.
01:05:22I know.
01:05:26What are you going to do about Mom?
01:05:28I know I have no right to ask her for a second chance.
01:05:32But I won't stop trying.
01:05:34I can't.
01:05:40You better go.
01:05:42Yeah.
01:05:48I love you.
01:06:02Alyssa!
01:06:10Alyssa!
01:06:32Texas Memorial.
01:06:34Bingo.
01:06:40I love you.
01:06:58She moved out.
01:07:00So they're staying together
01:07:02at the hotel, I guess.
01:07:04He says he broke it off.
01:07:06Does he love her?
01:07:08Mom.
01:07:10They just met.
01:07:12It was only one night.
01:07:14It's not love.
01:07:16None of this would ever have happened
01:07:18if I didn't get an apartment.
01:07:20Please, don't blame yourself.
01:07:22He made his choice.
01:07:24He made a mistake.
01:07:26Don't do that.
01:07:28Don't take his side.
01:07:30I won't.
01:07:32Not after the way he hurt you,
01:07:34even if you never forgive him.
01:07:38I'm sorry.
01:07:40I have to go.
01:07:42Mom.
01:07:56Mom?
01:07:58Mom?
01:08:00Mom!
01:08:02Help!
01:08:04Somebody help us!
01:08:06Mom!
01:08:22Where's Liz?
01:08:24She's in surgery now.
01:08:26There's nothing you can do but wait.
01:08:28I was in court. I got here as quick as I could.
01:08:30Do they know who did this?
01:08:32Police think it was a robbery. Her purse was stolen.
01:08:34Okay. Are there any witnesses?
01:08:36No.
01:08:38Do you know anyone who would want to harm Liz?
01:08:40No.
01:08:42Are you sure?
01:08:44I said no. Where's Christina?
01:08:46We sent her home to change.
01:08:48She was covered in Liz's blood.
01:08:50Now you're telling my daughter what to do?
01:08:52Noah, this is not the time or the place.
01:08:54Your wife could die.
01:08:56My wife? Exactly.
01:09:00Okay.
01:09:14Is it done?
01:09:16Yeah.
01:09:18We have a deal, right?
01:09:20Depends.
01:09:22On what?
01:09:24If she's dead.
01:09:26No.
01:09:28If I stabbed her, you would delete the footage.
01:09:30You know what our deal was.
01:09:32You're the one who made a deal, Craig.
01:09:34You sold private medical information
01:09:36to that scumbag lawyer, Peter.
01:09:38Because of you,
01:09:40Noah didn't get the promotion he deserved.
01:09:42You caused my family a lot of trouble.
01:09:44What?
01:09:46Your family? What are you talking about?
01:09:48Shut up!
01:09:50God, you're so annoying.
01:09:54We found the security footage
01:09:56before the cops.
01:09:58So you're not going to delete the footage?
01:10:04You know what?
01:10:06You're insane.
01:10:08You know that?
01:10:10You started this, Craig.
01:10:12Not me.
01:10:16Well, guess what, Alyssa.
01:10:18The wound wasn't fatal.
01:10:22I am a doctor.
01:10:24Not a killer.
01:10:26But don't worry.
01:10:28I planted the knife
01:10:30in your car
01:10:32so you could rot in hell.
01:10:44What are you doing here?
01:10:48You're my wife.
01:10:54I'm gonna get you some water.
01:11:06I heard about Liz.
01:11:08Is she okay? I was...
01:11:10You did this, didn't you?
01:11:12I would never do something like that.
01:11:14Besides, I couldn't have.
01:11:16I was at the office of Trish and...
01:11:18What are you talking about?
01:11:20They're gonna be a father again, Noah.
01:11:22I know.
01:11:24I couldn't believe it either.
01:11:26It was only a few days.
01:11:28No. No.
01:11:30You're lying, and you need to leave.
01:11:32Now.
01:11:34But I want to be here for you.
01:11:36I know you have to take care of Liz,
01:11:38and that's okay. I'm here to help.
01:11:40You are insane.
01:11:42If you think there is a future, Alyssa...
01:11:44We do, Noah.
01:11:46We're having a baby.
01:11:49That is impossible.
01:11:51It was one time, and it was a few days ago.
01:11:53You know that.
01:11:55I thought so too, but then I took a blood test,
01:11:57and it turns out that...
01:11:59Liz, stop.
01:12:03Ignoring this won't make it go away.
01:12:05You have a responsibility.
01:12:07The only responsibility I have is to my wife.
01:12:09You can't abandon your baby.
01:12:11We're a family now, Noah. All of us.
01:12:14Liz.
01:12:18Liz.
01:12:27Dr. Allers.
01:12:29That photo you sent me, was it recent?
01:12:31Yes, it was.
01:12:33All right, you need to contact Detective Deckard immediately.
01:12:35Your lives are in danger.
01:12:37Her name is Victoria Daniels.
01:12:39She killed my wife.
01:12:41What?
01:12:43I'm going to give you Detective Deckard's direct line.
01:12:45Let me see if I can find his card.
01:12:48I regret the day I ever met her.
01:12:50When I broke it off, she couldn't handle it.
01:12:52It kept going on and on about how we were perfect for each other.
01:12:54And then,
01:12:56Victoria vanished. Nobody could find her.
01:12:58Not until now.
01:13:00I've seen her driver's license. It says Alyssa Winters.
01:13:02Victoria was smart.
01:13:04She would have changed her identity or
01:13:06stolen it from someone.
01:13:08Wait, wait, I think I remember an article
01:13:10about a missing woman in Texas.
01:13:12I'm going to send you a photo of Detective Deckard's card.
01:13:14You have to call him immediately.
01:13:17Victoria will destroy your entire family
01:13:19to get what she wants, just like she destroyed mine.
01:13:21Thanks.
01:13:23Alyssa Winters.
01:13:25She was found dead in her apartment.
01:13:27Police suspect foul play.
01:13:29What?
01:13:43Gotta check your payments.
01:13:45Put them on the table and go.
01:13:54Liz, can we talk, please?
01:13:57You want to talk?
01:13:59Why don't you tell me how you could sleep
01:14:01with a girl who's young enough to be your daughter?
01:14:05I was at a low point.
01:14:08I was watching you and Sam get closer
01:14:10while we were drifting further apart.
01:14:13And ever since Christina was...
01:14:15Don't you dare bring Christina into this.
01:14:18Please.
01:14:21I have nothing but love for Christina.
01:14:25And you too, with your competitive nature
01:14:27and the way you talk to each other
01:14:29in your own shorthand.
01:14:31It's a bond I've seen grow since she was born.
01:14:36So then, what?
01:14:38What?
01:14:41It's you.
01:14:44And me.
01:14:46I just, I felt so disconnected from you
01:14:49since she was born.
01:14:51Wow. How long?
01:14:53It's not always.
01:14:56But sometimes.
01:15:00I made a really big mistake.
01:15:05I got drunk and I wasn't thinking.
01:15:07And by no means,
01:15:09it's not an excuse.
01:15:12But it was just the one night.
01:15:14And I would do anything
01:15:16if I could take it all back.
01:15:18I am so angry.
01:15:21All I want to do is hate you.
01:15:25And I can't.
01:15:29I don't want us to be disconnected.
01:15:33I'm not going to ask you to forgive me.
01:15:36Not until I've done
01:15:38everything I can
01:15:40to make you trust me again.
01:15:43Okay?
01:15:55Will you go make me some lunch?
01:15:58Yeah.
01:16:06My dad's not answering.
01:16:08He always answers when I call.
01:16:09Marcus, I'm scared.
01:16:24Came to see Liz.
01:16:26Appreciate it if you got the hell out of my house, Sam.
01:16:29Look, I know you think I'm trying to
01:16:31break up your marriage.
01:16:33But I never set a chance.
01:16:36But you wanted one, right?
01:16:38That doesn't matter.
01:16:40So long as it's two of you.
01:16:57He's still not answering. Something's wrong.
01:16:59Call the police. We can try him again.
01:17:03Call the police.
01:17:33Mom?
01:17:44Mom?
01:17:54You're weak.
01:18:03Noah!
01:18:12Did she hurt you?
01:18:14It's just cuts from the kids.
01:18:16Sit down!
01:18:19Christina, stop!
01:18:21She's pregnant.
01:18:22Are you?
01:18:23Alyssa, tell the truth.
01:18:26I'm not.
01:18:29Guys, I just...
01:18:34I just want it to be loved.
01:18:38Everyone deserves to be loved.
01:18:42Right?
01:19:04Hi, thank you.
01:19:06Mrs. Davis, I'm Detective Harris.
01:19:08I'm glad you're okay.
01:19:10I just spoke with Detective Deckard about Miss Daniels.
01:19:12We also believe we found the man
01:19:14who stabbed you, Mrs. Davis.
01:19:16Who was he?
01:19:18His name was Craig Porter. He was a doctor.
01:19:20His body was in the trunk of Alyssa's car.
01:19:22We don't have all the details, but
01:19:24can you think of any reason why he would target your family?
01:19:26No.
01:19:28Craig was our friend.
01:19:30He was dating Alyssa.
01:19:32Yeah, I did. Why?
01:19:34I think he attacked Liz because
01:19:36Alyssa was blackmailing him.
01:19:38Blackmailing?
01:19:40Let's talk.
01:19:42Let's go.
01:20:02Congratulations.
01:20:04We should celebrate.
01:20:06We are celebrating.
01:20:08I mean tonight. I'll cook.
01:20:11That was one of those days, you know.
01:20:13Yeah, I'm happy for him.
01:20:15Race you to the sugar cookies.
01:20:17Oh, really? You think I'm going to...
01:20:19Go!
