00:04:57Morning, Melanie.
00:04:59Morning, Dolores.
00:05:00Traffic again?
00:05:01I take it she's already in.
00:05:03Hey, I'm looking for you.
00:05:04What about?
00:05:06It's above my pay grade.
00:05:08Mine too.
00:05:16Did I miss anything?
00:05:18She's looking for you.
00:05:20So sad, Dolores.
00:05:21And?
00:05:23I heard she just let two people go from creative.
00:05:26What?
00:05:27I didn't know they were making cutbacks.
00:05:30Me either.
00:05:31You may have picked the wrong day to be late.
00:05:33Did Samantha say what she wanted?
00:05:36Melanie, please come see me in my office.
00:05:39Send thoughts and prayers.
00:05:41Good luck.
00:05:49Sorry I'm late, Mrs. Reynolds.
00:05:51It's one of those mornings.
00:05:53But that's not why you called me in here.
00:05:55Have a seat.
00:05:57Oh, my God.
00:05:58Am I getting...
00:05:59Promoted?
00:06:00Yes.
00:06:02Promoted?
00:06:03Promoted to what?
00:06:05You are now joining our team of A1 account executives.
00:06:10That sounds like...
00:06:12A dream come true.
00:06:14It sounds...
00:06:16It sounds...
00:06:18Exhausting.
00:06:20I'm barely keeping work and family together as it is.
00:06:22That's why I'm ten minutes late half the time.
00:06:24Life is about balance.
00:06:27And you'll have an assistant to help you find it.
00:06:29I want you to call Cindy Jackson in HR.
00:06:31She has a pool of resumes.
00:06:33You'll start interviewing candidates Monday morning.
00:06:35Get yourself a go-getter and bring them on board.
00:06:38This is amazing.
00:06:41But I have to ask.
00:06:43Why me?
00:06:45Why not you?
00:06:46May I help you with something?
00:06:49Uh, yes.
00:06:50I think I'm lost.
00:06:52This isn't the HR department, is it?
00:06:54I'm looking for Cindy Jackson.
00:06:56Upstairs, I believe.
00:07:02You're doing an excellent job, Melanie.
00:07:04The staff loves you.
00:07:05Clients love you.
00:07:07You're smart, witty.
00:07:08You're a perfect combination between clients and creative.
00:07:12Thank you, Mrs. Reynolds.
00:07:14Samantha.
00:07:15Sam's fine, too.
00:07:17And Melanie.
00:07:19No more ten minutes late.
00:07:20Absolutely, Mrs. Reynolds.
00:07:22Samantha.
00:07:23Hmm?
00:07:24Sam.
00:07:25I'm just gonna go.
00:07:26Okay.
00:07:27So I get my own office and everything?
00:07:30Well, you're taking over Bill Parker's old list, so you get his old office.
00:07:33It's got a real sweet view.
00:07:35Congratulations.
00:07:37I'm not gonna let you down.
00:07:38You better not.
00:07:40One more thing.
00:07:41Are you still friends with Barb Roderick, the CEO at Yowzers?
00:07:45Yeah.
00:07:46She was my roommate in college.
00:07:47Smart lady.
00:07:49I hear that they're looking for a new ad agency.
00:07:51The Amazon for Toys would be great for us, don't you think?
00:07:55Yeah.
00:07:56Any way that you could get us a pitch meeting?
00:07:59Sure.
00:08:00Yeah, I'll get right on that.
00:08:01Excellent.
00:08:02Keep me posted.
00:08:07Okay, good morning, Melanie.
00:08:08Good morning, Melanie.
00:08:37It's Alex. Leave a message.
00:08:39Alex, call me back.
00:08:41You're never going to believe what just happened.
00:08:51Yowzers, may I help you?
00:08:53Hi. Barbara Roderick, please.
00:08:55Just one moment.
00:09:02Oh, there she is.
00:09:04The new account executive at the Reynolds Group.
00:09:06Yeah, and she's my wife.
00:09:08Congratulations.
00:09:10That is so awesome. It is.
00:09:15But...
00:09:16Nothing.
00:09:18What?
00:09:19Oh, it's just with our schedules, we're barely pulling it off as it is now.
00:09:23I know.
00:09:25So how are we going to do this?
00:09:26Well, they're giving me an assistant, so that'll help me stay more organized.
00:09:30Oh, an assistant. Look at you, hot cha.
00:09:32No, I don't even know what I'm doing.
00:09:34But what I've got to do is get somebody who knows what I need before I even know I need it.
00:09:39Well, I do know that I am so proud of you.
00:09:42I am. And kind of turned on.
00:09:45You're always turned on.
00:09:46I know.
00:09:50No hickeys. I have to interview candidates tomorrow.
00:09:52Yeah, I know. I know. I'm trying to be your top candidate.
00:09:55I might have a job for you.
00:09:57I don't know.
00:10:03Hey.
00:10:14So, tell me a little bit about yourself.
00:10:18Well, I'm definitely a self-starter.
00:10:21At my last job, I was the first one in, the last one to leave.
00:10:24So I'm more of a type A, so you don't have to tell me to do anything twice.
00:10:28Okay.
00:10:30Full disclosure, and I don't even know if I'm allowed to be asking this, but you wouldn't have a problem assisting a woman, would you?
00:10:37Oh, no, of course not. No, I actually have four sisters.
00:10:41Four? Wow, I'm an only child, so.
00:10:44Yeah, I really love having sisters. I think if I had brothers, I'd miss out on a lot.
00:10:50Like what?
00:10:53Grace. Yeah, I think that's hard to find in a pubescent boy.
00:10:57Yeah, I can see that.
00:11:13Hello. I'm Phoebe Sutton. I'm here to interview for the account assistant position.
00:11:18Do you have an appointment?
00:11:20Cindy Jackson called me personally.
00:11:23Well, unfortunately, no one called me.
00:11:26I'm sorry, there won't be time to squeeze you in today. I'll call Cindy later now.
00:11:31What are you doing?
00:11:33Saving this company from making a huge mistake.
00:11:36Do you see the brunette woman to my right? Don't be obvious.
00:11:40Lisa Blanchard? What about her?
00:11:42Oh, just that maybe she's a raging meth addict.
00:11:46How do you know that?
00:11:47Look, I used to work with her brother Larry, okay?
00:11:50She basically destroyed the whole family.
00:11:52I mean, unless implosion is the type of thing you guys are looking for an employee to bring to the company.
00:11:59Have a seat.
00:12:00I believe a slot just opened up.
00:12:03Great.
00:12:06So, a little bit about us. The Reynolds Group is a mid-level agency, but Samantha likes to think like the big dogs.
00:12:12We've got a ton of local accounts, but we're always looking for national advertisers.
00:12:16Of course you are.
00:12:17If I can ask, what happened to your last assistant?
00:12:21Well, if I hire you, you'd be my first. I just got the promotion last week.
00:12:25Virgin executive, wow.
00:12:29Feeling a little overwhelmed or what?
00:12:32I should probably say no.
00:12:35But the reality is you're freaking out inside.
00:12:37Like, you don't know what you're doing and you're terrified everyone's going to find out any minute.
00:12:42Yeah, don't worry. That's why I'm here.
00:12:46And I see by that gorgeous ring you are married.
00:12:49Yeah.
00:12:50Do you have any kids?
00:12:51Oh, yeah. Tina. She's seven.
00:12:55Oh my god, stunning. Her mommy must be so proud.
00:13:00What about you? Do you have any family?
00:13:03None to speak of. My parents died when I was a kid. It's just me.
00:13:08Oh, I'm so sorry.
00:13:09My dad died when I was a kid, too.
00:13:11So you get it. It's nice to meet someone who understands.
00:13:17I'd really love to have kids one day.
00:13:21So I am, I'm new to this whole thing, but why don't you just tell me a little bit about yourself?
00:13:28Sure. I'd say I'm all about female empowerment. Me too. Job equality. All of that.
00:13:34But I'm also about being brave enough to ask for help when you need it.
00:13:38Women taking care of other women.
00:13:41For some reason we can't stop tearing each other down when the fact is we're the majority in this country.
00:13:48What do you think would happen if we all got together one day?
00:13:52We'd rule everything.
00:13:55And if you hire me, that's exactly what I'll do.
00:13:58What's that?
00:13:59And if you hire me, that's exactly what I'll do.
00:14:02What's that?
00:14:03Take care of you. I'll have exactly what you need before you even know you needed it.
00:14:10Do you have any other questions for me?
00:14:13Well, there is something.
00:14:16You can say it.
00:14:18You're just, you know, you're slightly older than some of the other candidates.
00:14:21Is that a problem for you?
00:14:24I don't know. I haven't really thought about it.
00:14:27Do you want to know what I think?
00:14:28Please.
00:14:29Having someone with a little bit more experience is exactly what a first-time executive needs.
00:14:35It balances out the greenness with an extra touch of know-how.
00:14:40Just think of me as a sister.
00:14:50I know who I want.
00:14:52Phoebe Sutton.
00:14:54Decisive. Good job.
00:14:55Yeah, I don't know. I just have this great feeling about her.
00:14:58Well, I hope you chose wisely, Melanie.
00:15:00This Phoebe will pretty much be taking over your life.
00:15:03And there is nothing that makes life more miserable than the wrong assistant.
00:15:07I know she's going to kill it.
00:15:09Okay.
00:15:10But with you moving up, we're going to need another assistant as a floater.
00:15:13Was there anyone else you liked?
00:15:16Jason Lipp. He was pretty good.
00:15:19Okay. Done.
00:15:20I'll have HR check his references. You've had her checked, right?
00:15:23Of course. Yeah. Great.
00:15:42Hello?
00:15:43Hi. Is this Kellyanne Darcy?
00:15:45Yeah.
00:15:46Hi. I'm Melanie Anderson.
00:15:48I'm calling about a Phoebe Sutton.
00:15:51She has you as a reference on her resume. Her only work reference.
00:15:55That's because I'm the only boss she's ever had.
00:15:57She worked for me for 12 years or something.
00:16:02Oh. I'm considering being her second.
00:16:05You should. She's great.
00:16:07Whatever you need, Phoebe's got you.
00:16:09And whenever things get hectic at home, she'll make sure that you're on time and ready.
00:16:14Thank you. That's very helpful.
00:16:22Are you happy?
00:16:24Not yet.
00:16:32This is Phoebe.
00:16:33Hi, Phoebe. It's Melanie.
00:16:35Melanie! I know you said you'd let me know soon, but this is ridiculous.
00:16:40I know what I want when I see it.
00:16:42Me too.
00:16:44So does this mean...
00:16:46Do you want the job?
00:16:47Do you even have to ask?
00:16:49Of course I do.
00:16:50Thank you. I would have told you sooner, but I had to check your reference first.
00:16:54Oh. Checking up on me. Good for you.
00:16:57Kellyanne couldn't say enough good things about you.
00:16:59Well, she is the best.
00:17:02So I'll see you in the office tomorrow morning? 9am?
00:17:059am. Please. I will be there at 8.30.
00:17:09Thank you again. I'm really looking forward to working with you.
00:17:13Bye.
00:17:14Bye.
00:17:19Now I'm happy.
00:17:37Good morning. Roger Kirkland, right?
00:17:40You know who I am?
00:17:41Of course. You're one of Bill's clients. You, um...
00:17:45Own Kirkland Auto.
00:17:47Third largest dealership in the country.
00:17:50Oh, hallelujah.
00:17:52Samantha finally hired someone with a decent memory.
00:17:54So, listen.
00:17:56I don't know if you're in the market for a new vehicle.
00:17:59Oh, I'm always looking for a new ride.
00:18:02Well, I could put together a package on a tasty little lease for you.
00:18:05Let me know if you are interested.
00:18:08Phoebe.
00:18:10You know, you remind me of someone I used to know.
00:18:13You're telling me.
00:18:15There's another guy out there as handsome and worldly as I am?
00:18:20Hello, everyone.
00:18:21Roger, I see that you've met Melanie.
00:18:23She'll be taking over Bill's desk and Phoebe here will be assisting.
00:18:27Oh, lucky me.
00:18:30I'm really looking forward to working together.
00:18:35Nice to meet you.
00:18:36It was a pleasure to meet you.
00:18:39I'll see you in my office.
00:18:41Excuse me.
00:18:43So, have you talked to that friend of yours?
00:18:46I'm working on it.
00:18:47Or Carter.
00:18:56And last but not least, we have Susan Gladwell at Wellness Yoga.
00:19:00She has two locations downtown.
00:19:02Namaste.
00:19:04I think that's it.
00:19:06I'm going to call everyone tomorrow and introduce myself.
00:19:09You should probably do the same at some point.
00:19:11Oh, I already did that.
00:19:14You spoke with all of them?
00:19:19I really wish you would have waited.
00:19:21Well, you wanted me to be proactive.
00:19:24Oh, don't worry.
00:19:25I went on and on about how wonderful you are.
00:19:27Yeah, well, except to Barbara Roderick at Yowzer's.
00:19:30I couldn't get a hold of her.
00:19:32Yeah, I haven't been able to reach her either.
00:19:36Okay, well I will make a spreadsheet of all of these names tomorrow.
00:19:39Thanks.
00:19:41You really are doing a great job.
00:19:43Namaste.
00:19:45Oh, can I talk to you for a second before you go?
00:19:47Sure, what's up?
00:19:49It's about this morning.
00:19:51It's Roger Kirkland.
00:19:53What about it?
00:19:55A little heavy on the flirting, don't you think?
00:19:57I was just being nice.
00:20:00Yeah, well, I mean, I don't want people to get the wrong impression.
00:20:03What are you suggesting?
00:20:05That I'd sleep with a client?
00:20:06No, I just think it was a little inappropriate.
00:20:09Well, I'm sorry for being so inappropriate on my first day.
00:20:14I'm sorry.
00:20:15You're right, of course you're right.
00:20:17It doesn't take much to give men the wrong idea.
00:20:20I will be more aware of it from now on, I promise.
00:20:28Oh.
00:20:30Barbara, thanks for calling.
00:20:32Always have time for my old roomie.
00:20:35Excuse me, old?
00:20:36Okay, more like old school.
00:20:38How are you?
00:20:39I'm great.
00:20:41Are you up for grabbing a drink soon? I'd love to catch up.
00:20:43Yeah, me as well.
00:20:45Call my assistant, set it up.
00:20:47Yeah, well, I'm at the Reynolds Group now, so I can just have my assistant reach out to yours.
00:20:51Nice, great. Look forward to it.
00:20:54Okay, talk to you soon. Bye.
00:20:57Sounds like Barbara called you back.
00:20:59Yeah, she's actually a friend of mine from college.
00:21:02And Samantha keeps telling me to reach out to her.
00:21:05Guess I'm making a play for her company.
00:21:08Guessing is for game shows.
00:21:10You are getting that account.
00:21:14Come on, say it out loud.
00:21:16Come on, no.
00:21:17Hey, you put it out in the universe, you give it a chance to enter your world.
00:21:21Go on, say it.
00:21:25I am getting that account.
00:21:26Great. Sounds like I've got a meeting to set up.
00:21:29No, you can do it tomorrow. It's late. I'm going to head home.
00:21:33Hey, do you want to grab a drink?
00:21:36Oh, thanks for the invite, but I've got to head home to my family.
00:21:38Come on, Mel. It's healthy to have a cocktail with the people you work closely with.
00:21:43You never know what you might learn about them.
00:21:46Plus, we definitely have to celebrate that phone call from Yowzers.
00:21:51Alright, sure. Yeah, let's do it.
00:21:53Alright.
00:21:59Okay, so be honest. How did I do today?
00:22:01Aside from the flirty banter, I think it went really well.
00:22:06And trust me, you're not the first girl Rogers come on to at the office.
00:22:10Oh, God. Men are such dogs.
00:22:16Okay, what was that look?
00:22:21Nothing. It was just old college stuff.
00:22:24Ah, now you've got to tell me.
00:22:26Come on, Mel. If this is going to work, you have to trust me.
00:22:29Who am I going to tell?
00:22:34Okay, you know my friend at Yowzers?
00:22:36Barbara Roderick, yes.
00:22:38Oh, this is so silly.
00:22:40I made out once with her boyfriend at the time.
00:22:44Joe. I can't even remember his last name.
00:22:48Barbara never found out, thank God.
00:22:51Ancient history, right?
00:22:53Ancient history, right?
00:22:55What happens in college stays in college.
00:22:59Mel, I have your back. You can trust me.
00:23:05We should get out of here. I'm going to go to the ladies' room.
00:23:08Oh, okay.
00:23:24Excuse me.
00:23:27Nope, yours.
00:23:29Got room for one more?
00:23:30Mom!
00:23:31Hey, baby.
00:23:32So, how was it? How were the drinks with your assistant?
00:23:34Great. I think it's going to work out really nicely.
00:23:38I'll get it.
00:23:40You, uh, expecting someone?
00:23:41I know, but maybe you should.
00:23:42Yeah.
00:23:48Honey, you, uh, got a visitor.
00:23:50Hey. What are you doing here?
00:23:52Found this. Knew your cart wouldn't hold away.
00:23:54You did?
00:23:55Must have fallen out. I would have called it, but clearly that wouldn't have helped.
00:23:59So I thought I'd just swing by and drop it off.
00:24:02I swear I've had post-pregnancy brain ever since this one was born.
00:24:05Thank you for bringing it.
00:24:07Of course. I just thought I could help.
00:24:08Do you work with my mommy?
00:24:10I sure do.
00:24:11I'm Phoebe. What's your name?
00:24:13Tina Anderson.
00:24:14Well, it's very nice to meet you, Tina Anderson.
00:24:19This is my husband, Alex.
00:24:20Hi.
00:24:21Don't worry. I'm not going to tickle your belly, too.
00:24:24Well, unless you ask nicely.
00:24:28Well, you didn't tell me she was funny.
00:24:32All right, well, I should be going.
00:24:33Stay. You can play with us.
00:24:35Oh, no. I got to skedaddle, but I am sure I will see you very soon.
00:24:38I'll walk you out.
00:24:39Yeah? Okay.
00:24:41Bye.
00:24:44Come on. Let's get back to the game.
00:24:46Do you know how lucky you are?
00:24:49You've got a beautiful family, great career. You've got it all.
00:24:55Yeah, I guess I am pretty lucky.
00:24:58You should remember that.
00:25:00Because when life comes down on you hard like it does,
00:25:06luck is far more important to survival than talent ever was.
00:25:10God knows I never had any.
00:25:13Are you okay?
00:25:15Yeah.
00:25:17See you in the morning, boss.
00:25:33All right.
00:25:36I like her, Mommy.
00:25:38I think Daddy does, too.
00:25:40All right, come on. Who's up? Oh, Mommy's up.
00:25:44So what do you really think of her?
00:25:45Who?
00:25:47Phoebe, as if you didn't know.
00:25:50Well, she was nice. Tina seemed to like her.
00:25:54You seem a little more focused at work this week.
00:25:57Yeah, I feel more focused.
00:25:59She's so organized and fast.
00:26:02Friendly.
00:26:04Maybe a little too friendly.
00:26:07Yeah, she's a bit of a flirt, huh?
00:26:09How could you tell?
00:26:11Enough.
00:26:13About Phoebe.
00:26:19Good night.
00:26:22All right.
00:26:23I'm sorry, babe.
00:26:27This week's just kicked my ass.
00:26:30But at least I'm making more money, right?
00:26:32Yeah, even more than me.
00:26:35Not that much more.
00:26:37It just means more for Tina.
00:26:38That's why we do any of this, right?
00:26:41You're right.
00:26:43You're right. And you probably have a big day tomorrow.
00:26:46Me too.
00:26:47So get some sleep, okay?
00:26:48Okay.
00:27:09Let's go.
00:27:30So, my people, I have a new advancement plan for company employees that I'd like to tell you all about.
00:27:35Now, if you're curious about whether I promote from within, just ask your friend and ex-cohort, Melanie.
00:27:42She's in the big office down the hall.
00:27:44What would you like me to do?
00:27:46What I want you to do, what I want all of you to do, is to go forth and bring back some new business.
00:27:53You know, get out there, shake the trees a little, see what falls out.
00:27:58Bonuses for anything that sticks.
00:28:00And people, I want you to keep in mind, I'm keeping score.
00:28:08Let's get to it.
00:28:11One decaf.
00:28:15I told you she'd be doing it again.
00:28:17You did.
00:28:18So how many names have you pulled together?
00:28:21Got a list of a dozen companies or so.
00:28:23All itching to make a move.
00:28:25Been putting out fillers for months.
00:28:28Sorry, I didn't mean to interrupt.
00:28:30Mel, these documents need your signature.
00:28:32Sure.
00:28:33I'll just leave them on your desk.
00:28:37See you out there, girl.
00:28:46Mel, my God, do you actually like her?
00:28:50She gives me a bad vibe.
00:28:52Everyone gets that.
00:28:53Do you actually like her?
00:28:55She gives me a bad vibe.
00:28:57Everyone gives you a bad vibe.
00:28:59Remember that temp you said smells like spoiled milk?
00:29:03Whatever.
00:29:04Look, I don't trust her.
00:29:06Don't worry about Phoebe, okay?
00:29:07Just focus on you.
00:29:09Eyes on the prize.
00:29:10If you take even half the names on that list, maybe you could have one of these offices for yourself next quarter.
00:29:15It's true.
00:29:21Really?
00:29:22What did she say?
00:29:24The flu?
00:29:27Who doesn't get that stupid shot?
00:29:30Alright, alright, I'll deal with it.
00:29:33I'll see you at home.
00:29:36Hey, what's wrong?
00:29:38Ashley Ruskin?
00:29:40She's a client?
00:29:41No, she's our babysitter.
00:29:42She just cancelled at the last minute because she has the flu.
00:29:44Can you believe that?
00:29:46And it's her anniversary today.
00:29:48Alex was going to take me to Julian's tonight.
00:29:50First of all, happy anniversary.
00:29:52Second, I'd love to.
00:29:54Love to what?
00:29:55Babysit Tina.
00:29:56She's super chill.
00:29:57It'll be fun.
00:29:58That's not your job.
00:29:59I don't want to be one of those kind of bosses.
00:30:01What kind of boss?
00:30:03The kind that makes you feel like you can get ahead by helping out outside the office.
00:30:06I hated that when I was in your seat.
00:30:08Okay, first of all, you're not.
00:30:10No, come on, what else am I doing?
00:30:12Women helping other women, remember?
00:30:15Seven o'clock okay?
00:30:17That would be perfect.
00:30:20You don't have to keep thanking me, Mel.
00:30:22It's what I'm here for.
00:30:48Okay.
00:31:13Ugh.
00:31:19Hi!
00:31:21Well, hello down there.
00:31:23It's my birthday tomorrow.
00:31:25It is?
00:31:27We're having a party.
00:31:29You are?
00:31:30Hey, Phoebe.
00:31:31Thanks again for helping us with Tina.
00:31:33Looks like that's not all you need help with.
00:31:35Oh.
00:31:36There you go.
00:31:38Wow, you really know what you're doing with that.
00:31:40Ties are easy.
00:31:42Guys are hard.
00:31:45You okay?
00:31:46No, I've had this knot in my neck for like a week now.
00:31:49Do you see these hands?
00:31:51These hands heal.
00:31:53Turn around.
00:31:55Come on.
00:31:57Oh.
00:31:59Yeah, you're not kidding.
00:32:00Wow.
00:32:01Oh.
00:32:02Yeah.
00:32:03Wow.
00:32:05Oh, swanky swanky.
00:32:10Again, you're such a lifesaver.
00:32:12Now, you do what Phoebe says, okay?
00:32:14Be good.
00:32:15We'll be back in a few hours.
00:32:17Oh, take your time.
00:32:18We got this, right?
00:32:20Yeah.
00:32:22All right, well, I will go get the car started.
00:32:24Okay, thanks again, Phoebe.
00:32:29You know, it's just so crazy.
00:32:31What is?
00:32:33Some people really do have it all.
00:32:36Anniversary dinner tonight with your handsome husband.
00:32:40Your beautiful little girl's birthday party tomorrow.
00:32:42You're a fortunate lady.
00:32:47Have fun, boss.
00:32:49Thanks.
00:32:51Call me with any problems.
00:33:07Screw it.
00:33:09I'm getting the primavera.
00:33:10I don't even care.
00:33:12Well, I did read that anniversary calories are half the regular ones, so.
00:33:15Ooh, good.
00:33:17Because I'm already eyeing the souffle.
00:33:19Oh.
00:33:24This is nice.
00:33:26It is.
00:33:28When's the last time we came here?
00:33:30Uh, probably last year for our sixth anniversary.
00:33:33Oh, that's right.
00:33:35I got Mom to watch Tina.
00:33:37Right.
00:33:38And your assistant is watching her.
00:33:40Perks of being the big earner in the family, I guess.
00:33:43Seriously?
00:33:48I'm sorry.
00:33:51To us?
00:33:53See, this is why I married you.
00:33:55Your why is beyond your gender.
00:33:57To us.
00:33:59And the princess gets her prince again.
00:34:03I'm a princess.
00:34:05You are?
00:34:06Well, I got a little boyfriend at school.
00:34:08You like someone?
00:34:10You can tell me what's his name.
00:34:12Jimmy Randall.
00:34:14Jimmy Randall, huh?
00:34:18Well, just remember, little one.
00:34:20Life is not a kiddie movie.
00:34:23No.
00:34:25Some people never get their happily ever after.
00:34:29They get screwed really early on in life, and it just keeps happening.
00:34:34Don't listen to me.
00:34:36What am I saying?
00:34:38I'm just being silly.
00:34:40Are you sleepy, baby?
00:34:42Uh-huh.
00:34:44Good night, baby.
00:34:47Good night, little one.
00:34:51Mommy's here.
00:34:58Oh, and she's not here.
00:35:00She's not here.
00:35:02Well, it sounds like things with Phoebe are going better and better.
00:35:06Yeah, I don't know about that.
00:35:08What do you mean? I thought it was going great.
00:35:10That girl's a flirt.
00:35:12Everybody in the office thinks so.
00:35:15Didn't notice, huh?
00:35:17She is friendly.
00:35:19What can I say?
00:35:21Maybe you can say, I can tie my own tie, thanks.
00:35:25And while you're at it, maybe don't massage my shoulders
00:35:28before I go out with my wife to celebrate our blessed marriage.
00:35:31Honey, I think you know you can trust me by now.
00:35:34I know, but...
00:35:37Men are stupid.
00:35:40Great.
00:35:42Now I'm stupid.
00:35:44Nice.
00:35:45No.
00:35:47I'm being stupid.
00:35:49I don't want to let her ruin our night.
00:35:51She's doing us a favor.
00:35:53I'm sorry.
00:36:01I'm sorry.
00:36:31Shit.
00:37:01We're back.
00:37:03Phoebe?
00:37:05Where is she?
00:37:06Phoebe?
00:37:08Hey there.
00:37:10You scared me.
00:37:11Oh, I didn't mean to scare you, boss.
00:37:13So how did it go?
00:37:14Oh, she is an angel.
00:37:16I just checked on her.
00:37:17Out like a light.
00:37:21So, how was the big dinner?
00:37:25Sweet.
00:37:27All right, well, I should leave you two lovebirds alone.
00:37:30You know, anniversary sex and all.
00:37:34Oh, Gina's party is probably going to be amazing.
00:37:38And she kind of invited me.
00:37:41Oh, well, you should come then.
00:37:43I mean, if it's not a problem.
00:37:47No?
00:37:48You should come?
00:37:50I'd love to.
00:37:51I mean, I have a few stops to make over the weekend, but yeah.
00:37:54Well, I guess we'll see you there.
00:37:57Bye.
00:38:01Bye.
00:38:08Why? Why didn't you ask me first?
00:38:11What was I supposed to say? Tina invited her.
00:38:13I don't know, but it just seems like that woman is always around us now.
00:38:16I think it's important to have boundaries with your employees, you know?
00:38:19Yeah, it's what's she doing here in the first place.
00:38:22Come on, you said so yourself. She did us a big favor tonight.
00:38:25Well, maybe she'll do you another favor tomorrow.
00:38:28Help you button your shirt.
00:38:30Really?
00:38:38Happy anniversary.
00:38:49Well, hey you.
00:38:51Hey, did you get my text?
00:38:53The one about your package?
00:38:55That's the one.
00:38:57Want a little sneak preview?
00:38:59Sure, hit me.
00:39:02You've done this before, I knew it.
00:39:04Okay, here we go.
00:39:14Wow, that's some package.
00:39:19Okay, your turn.
00:39:23Where are you at right now?
00:39:25I don't know.
00:39:26Roger?
00:39:52Roger? Where are you?
00:39:54Back here.
00:39:58Look at you.
00:40:01What's with the gloves?
00:40:03I don't know, I think they're kind of sexy.
00:40:06You don't like them.
00:40:08No, I do, I do, I do.
00:40:11And the coat too.
00:40:14What you got hiding under there?
00:40:16Wouldn't you like to know?
00:40:25Play fair, I showed you mine.
00:40:28Yeah, you did.
00:40:31Not exactly the package I was expecting.
00:40:34Aw, disappointed?
00:40:37That's not what I said.
00:40:40So how often do you do it?
00:40:44Do what?
00:40:46Send out unsolicited pictures of your junk.
00:40:49I wouldn't exactly call it unsolicited.
00:40:52I mean, you are sitting here in my office.
00:40:55Ah, so that means I've accepted an invitation for sex.
00:41:00If the pic is a fit, you must sit.
00:41:05Do you have any others?
00:41:07Other pictures?
00:41:09Maybe.
00:41:12Pull them up.
00:41:14Why don't I just pull it out?
00:41:15Because a real woman likes to be teased.
00:41:18God, you're twisted, I love that.
00:41:21Just like me.
00:41:23Okay, dim those lights and come have a look.
00:41:29Ooh, that is a nice one.
00:41:33Take me some time and angle just right with the shadow on the ladder right there.
00:41:38God, you do really like to tease.
00:41:41Angle the ladder right there.
00:41:43God, you do remind me of a guy I used to know.
00:41:47You said that before.
00:41:49Are you talking about an old boyfriend?
00:41:51No, just a foster father I used to have.
00:41:54A father?
00:41:56In a show, do pigs like this?
00:41:58Not just pigs.
00:42:12Oh!
00:42:17Oh, awesome, thank you.
00:42:22You okay?
00:42:24I'm exhausted.
00:42:26Remember that nightmare I told you about?
00:42:28I barely slept.
00:42:30Still don't want to talk about it?
00:42:35Forget it.
00:42:37It was just a bad dream.
00:42:39Oh, she showed.
00:42:44Wow, what a fun party.
00:42:47Lucky again.
00:42:49Thank you guys so much for inviting me.
00:42:56Oh, yo, excuse me.
00:42:58Oh, hey, where are you off to?
00:43:00Oh, I'm going to go grab some more snacks.
00:43:02You guys can really chow down, huh?
00:43:04You are such a loving father.
00:43:06I love that about you.
00:43:12Phoebe!
00:43:14Princess Tina!
00:43:16Oh, happy birthday!
00:43:18What'd you get me?
00:43:20Well, I just heard about your party, but, uh,
00:43:22which one is Jimmy Randall?
00:43:25Come on.
00:43:28Hi.
00:43:39I don't know how you do it.
00:43:41I work part-time with Dr. Kushner,
00:43:43and I can barely keep up with Jimmy.
00:43:45I mean, the sports alone.
00:43:47Well, I got an assistant at work, so that's helped.
00:43:49And Phoebe's been incredible.
00:43:52Hey, honey, what's wrong?
00:43:54I want to go home.
00:43:56Why? What happened?
00:43:58Nothing. I, I, I just want to go, okay?
00:44:01Uh, sure.
00:44:03Okay.
00:44:05Sorry, Melanie.
00:44:06Hi.
00:44:08Hey.
00:44:17Where have you two been?
00:44:19Phoebe's just giving me my gift.
00:44:21Oh, yeah? Oh, what's that?
00:44:23My first kiss!
00:44:25It was so cute.
00:44:27Wait, wait, wait, back up.
00:44:29What, what happened?
00:44:31Oh, relax. Tina likes a boy,
00:44:33so I asked him to give her a birthday kiss.
00:44:34Relax?
00:44:36Jimmy looked so shocked.
00:44:38Okay, I may have insisted a little.
00:44:40Tina, why don't you go play with your friends, okay?
00:44:42But I want to stay here.
00:44:45Are you out of your mind?
00:44:47Why would you have that little boy kiss her?
00:44:49No, it was the peck on the cheek.
00:44:51Come on, I just wanted to make her day special.
00:44:53Yeah, well, I'm her mother.
00:44:55That's my job.
00:44:57Yeah, and it's my job to help you.
00:44:59I think you should go.
00:45:01Wow.
00:45:02Are you firing me?
00:45:04No, but this is just, this is inappropriate.
00:45:08Okay, I'll see you in the office on Monday morning,
00:45:11but from now on, I think we should just keep this 9 to 5.
00:45:16Whatever you say, boss.
00:45:24Where's Phoebe going?
00:45:28Oh, look, it's the lonely assistants.
00:45:30What are you doing here?
00:45:32Phoebe's invited.
00:45:34Then why are you leaving so soon?
00:45:36Hi.
00:45:39Thanks for coming.
00:45:41Yeah, yeah, yeah.
00:45:43Hey, what was Phoebe doing here?
00:45:45Teaching my daughter about the birds and the bees, apparently.
00:45:47What?
00:45:49Yeah, I don't want to talk about it.
00:45:51You should go say hi to Tina.
00:45:53Yes.
00:45:55Oh, my God, I almost forgot.
00:45:57Did you hear about Roger Kirkland?
00:45:59No.
00:46:01Oh, my God.
00:46:04What's the news?
00:46:06He's dead.
00:46:08What?
00:46:10Yeah, found out this morning.
00:46:12And here's the craziest part.
00:46:14You know that whole auto-erotic...
00:46:16What's the word?
00:46:18Asphyxiation.
00:46:20Yeah.
00:46:22Is that when they...
00:46:24Yeah.
00:46:26While they're...
00:46:28Yeah.
00:46:30These guys hang themselves from something shorter than them.
00:46:33Like a doorknob.
00:46:35So they can stand up before it's too late.
00:46:38But the lack of oxygen screws them up.
00:46:41And they pass out.
00:46:44And die.
00:46:49So I've heard.
00:46:51Okay.
00:46:53Anyways, that's what the cops think happened.
00:46:55In any case, looks like your assistant is going to have to find someone else to batterize it.
00:47:00Yeah.
00:47:06Traffic again?
00:47:08What do you mean? I'm on time.
00:47:10Everyone's been in the conference area for ten minutes already.
00:47:14Oh, my God.
00:47:21Sorry.
00:47:25As I was saying,
00:47:26last week I gave the assistants a chance to step up.
00:47:30And I am proud to say that someone did.
00:47:33Phoebe, stand up for me.
00:47:36While the rest of you relished your time off,
00:47:40this weekend warrior brought us in six new potential clients.
00:47:44Seven.
00:47:46Seven? Well, I stand corrected.
00:47:48And I'm impressed.
00:47:50What businesses?
00:47:52Let's see what we got.
00:47:53We have Pat's Tavern.
00:47:55Uppercut Boxing Gym.
00:47:57Phoebe?
00:47:59Crave Cafe.
00:48:01The Public Library.
00:48:03And a few other surprises.
00:48:05The rest of you would do well to follow this young lady's lead.
00:48:09And you could learn a little something about hustling from your assistant.
00:48:14Apparently.
00:48:16So what's the latest with Yowzers?
00:48:18Uh, well, I, you know, I'm just-
00:48:20Melanie?
00:48:21I want that contract.
00:48:23I'm on it, Sam.
00:48:25Good. Cause things are moving pretty quickly around here.
00:48:28And you are late.
00:48:30Again.
00:48:34Back to work!
00:48:37My office. Now!
00:48:51Sigh.
00:48:56Hey, boss.
00:48:58You didn't get my text message about the meeting being moved up?
00:49:03No, I didn't.
00:49:05That's odd.
00:49:07Yeah. A lot of really odd things have been happening lately.
00:49:12What is that supposed to mean?
00:49:14You stole my list, bitch.
00:49:17Those were my leads.
00:49:18Aww. Poor Laura.
00:49:21Haven't you ever heard the expression, dog eat dog?
00:49:25So you're not even going to bother denying it?
00:49:28Deny what?
00:49:30The big boss asked us to do a job.
00:49:32And I admit, I went out and did it.
00:49:35It's called Darwinism.
00:49:37Don't hate. Appreciate.
00:49:41You hired her.
00:49:43I blame you.
00:49:49Listen, Mel.
00:49:51You're fired.
00:49:53You think that's funny?
00:49:55Uh, you just heard Sam.
00:49:58And you just heard me.
00:50:00What you did was not only unethical, it was cheap.
00:50:04I didn't like it and neither will Sam.
00:50:07Hmm. Should we go ask her?
00:50:10You don't get to decide anything. Get your stuff and leave.
00:50:13And don't go whining to Sam.
00:50:14You don't work here anymore.
00:50:16I know what this is really about.
00:50:19You don't like that your daughter likes me more than you.
00:50:25And I could have Alex wrapped around this little finger so fast it would make your head spin.
00:50:33Other parts of me, too.
00:50:35What is your problem?
00:50:38My problem is that I don't like you.
00:50:41It's your problem.
00:50:43My problem is you don't appreciate what you have.
00:50:48You want me to call security?
00:50:50Don't bother, Mel.
00:50:52See you around.
00:50:54If I do, I'm calling the cops.
00:51:08I have to tell you something, Sam.
00:51:11Just in case of any accidents, I have something to tell you.
00:51:15You need to get on your game, Melanie.
00:51:18Honestly, the best thing that you've done since your promotion was hiring Phoebe.
00:51:23She told me that she was the one that set up your meeting with the Yowzers tomorrow morning.
00:51:28She did.
00:51:30Good. Don't blow it.
00:51:33Anything else?
00:51:35No.
00:51:42You alright?
00:51:44You barely said two words to me last night and now you're tripping all over yourself this morning.
00:51:47I've got a breakfast meeting and it's really important and I can't be late.
00:51:51I thought Phoebe was supposed to sort that stuff out for you.
00:51:54Yeah, well I fired her yesterday so now I'm kind of on my own.
00:51:57Wait, what? You fired her?
00:51:59You didn't tell me about it?
00:52:01I don't have time to talk about this right now. I need to find my purse.
00:52:04Okay. Alright. I'll get out of your way.
00:52:07Hey Mel.
00:52:37Barbara.
00:52:40Long time no see.
00:52:43What do you want, Melanie?
00:52:45I just want to catch up.
00:52:48Yeah, right. Just get to it.
00:52:52Well, you know I'm with the Reynolds group.
00:52:58I just thought maybe we could come in and pitch you guys.
00:53:02Old school, right?
00:53:03Old school. You mean like back in the day? That kind of thing?
00:53:08Sure.
00:53:10Like the time you totally made out with Joe behind my back?
00:53:13Barbara.
00:53:15I got a call on my way here. Heard all about it.
00:53:18You know, I couldn't be sure it was true until I saw your face.
00:53:25Phoebe called you.
00:53:27Ancient history.
00:53:29That's what she said?
00:53:31Like that makes it all okay?
00:53:33It was just a kiss.
00:53:35I trusted you with my boyfriend then, and you screwed me.
00:53:39Why would I trust you with my business now?
00:53:42Barbara.
00:53:49I have some bad news, Sam.
00:53:55What are you doing here?
00:53:57I fired you.
00:53:59And who are you to do that?
00:54:01Her boss.
00:54:03Yours?
00:54:05So, what's this bad news anyway?
00:54:08Let me guess. The Yowser's account?
00:54:13Your friend Barbara called.
00:54:15Said that she wants to hear our pitch any time that we want to come in.
00:54:20Under one condition.
00:54:22That you're nowhere near the account.
00:54:24So I'll take it from here.
00:54:26With Phoebe's help.
00:54:28Barbara specifically requested her on this.
00:54:30Said she trusts her.
00:54:31She trusts her? Are you kidding me?
00:54:34You don't know who she is, Sam. She's a liar.
00:54:37She stole that list. Those were Laura's contacts.
00:54:40Is that true?
00:54:42Early bird gets the worm.
00:54:44Yeah, it does.
00:54:46Okay, so you don't care that she has zero ethics.
00:54:49But it's not just that. She's invading my life.
00:54:52What are you talking about?
00:54:54She flirts with my husband.
00:54:56She screws with my kid's head.
00:54:58And then this morning, look.
00:55:00Look, this is what I find.
00:55:02What's that?
00:55:04A camera in my bedroom. And were you watching us?
00:55:07Calm down, Melanie.
00:55:09She's twisted. You tell her right now. You tell her what you did.
00:55:12Well, what about what you've done?
00:55:14What are you talking about?
00:55:16You should know we frown upon too much contact outside the office with our assistants.
00:55:20No, she came to a birthday party.
00:55:22That's not what I mean.
00:55:23And I quote,
00:55:25I don't want to be one of those bosses
00:55:27that makes you feel that you can get ahead
00:55:29by offering too much help outside the office.
00:55:32And I don't.
00:55:34Then why did you ask her to babysit your daughter?
00:55:36I didn't.
00:55:38You didn't?
00:55:40You volunteered.
00:55:42See, no, that's not how I remember it.
00:55:44I was thinking I was going to lose my job if I said no.
00:55:46Oh my God, you were so funny.
00:55:48And now you're accusing me of planting cameras in your house.
00:55:50Are you hearing this?
00:55:51Melanie, I'm beginning to think that you just
00:55:54don't understand the boundaries that exist on the executive level.
00:55:57I'm beginning to wonder if I promoted the wrong person.
00:56:01Maybe you should take the rest of the day off.
00:56:04Give us both a little time to think about your future here.
00:56:22Follow me.
00:56:40I can't believe you told Barbara.
00:56:42You're the one that kissed her boyfriend.
00:56:44Not me.
00:56:46Don't you remember that whole dog-eat-dog thing
00:56:48I schooled Laura on?
00:56:49You should have been paying attention.
00:56:51But what you really need to remember
00:56:53is what I told you before.
00:56:55Some people just don't deserve what they have,
00:56:58and they never will.
00:57:00But do you know the one thing you all have in common?
00:57:03You never think there's a chance it can all be taken away.
00:57:08Shouldn't you be heading home?
00:57:10Mommy?
00:57:12Screw you.
00:57:14See, if I were you, I'd try screwing Alex for a change.
00:57:16So you did put the camera in there.
00:57:18I'm not saying that.
00:57:20I'm just saying I haven't seen a guy need it that bad
00:57:23since freshman year of high school.
00:57:30What happened?
00:57:32I'm going home.
00:57:34What do you mean? Why?
00:57:36Ask the new girl.
00:57:47I know what you are.
00:57:49And how do you know that?
00:57:51Because I'm good at spotting snakes.
00:57:53Are you now?
00:57:55Mm.
00:57:57And what are you good at?
00:57:59Cyber forensics.
00:58:01I was a computer science major,
00:58:03so I can find out anything on anyone.
00:58:06And you?
00:58:08I'm a computer science major.
00:58:10And you?
00:58:12I'm a computer science major.
00:58:13So I can find out anything on anyone.
00:58:17Look at that face.
00:58:19What you hiding there, Pheebs?
00:58:22Can't wait to find out.
00:58:24We're done here.
00:58:43Let's go.
00:59:13Hey.
00:59:37Hey, it's me.
00:59:39I just wanted to call.
00:59:40I did a little bit of research on our friend here,
00:59:42and it turns out her name's not even Phoebe Sutton.
00:59:45It's Lisa Nolan.
00:59:47And her last known location was actually
00:59:49some treatment center?
00:59:5232 Elm Road?
00:59:54Just give me a call back when you can, okay?
00:59:56All right.
01:00:10Okay.
01:00:40Okay.
01:01:10Okay.
01:01:40Okay.
01:02:11You've got to be kidding me.
01:02:16Move.
01:02:18You have to hear me out.
01:02:20Move now.
01:02:22I brought you a peace offering.
01:02:30I can't believe you did that.
01:02:32I'm sorry.
01:02:34I'm sorry.
01:02:36I'm sorry.
01:02:38I'm sorry.
01:02:40I can't believe I even let you in after what you did today.
01:02:42Then why did you?
01:02:44To finish saying what I was trying to tell you earlier.
01:02:47I'm telling you,
01:02:49woman to woman,
01:02:51leave me and my family the hell alone.
01:02:53Look, I know I probably did some things that I shouldn't have.
01:02:57Probably?
01:02:59I can get a little...
01:03:01Insane?
01:03:03I was going to say aggressive.
01:03:05I don't get it.
01:03:07What do you want from me?
01:03:08I'm beginning to help you.
01:03:11Help me by getting out of my life.
01:03:15It's a little late for that, Mel.
01:03:17We work together.
01:03:19Your family loves me.
01:03:21I mean, that ship has pretty much sailed.
01:03:24So if you want me to leave,
01:03:26you're going to have to make me.
01:03:29I said leave me alone.
01:03:31Mommy!
01:03:33Tina, sweetheart, it's...
01:03:35Look, honey, it's okay. We were just having a silly argument.
01:03:36Don't you talk to my daughter.
01:03:38Okay, I'm sorry.
01:03:40I didn't mean to scare Tina.
01:03:42I will come back when you're a little less overwhelmed.
01:03:45I'm just going to say goodnight to her.
01:03:47Don't you touch her.
01:03:48Stop!
01:03:49No, no, no, don't cry, honey, don't cry.
01:03:50I'm back here again.
01:03:51I will kill you.
01:04:07I love you.
01:04:21What the hell did you do?
01:04:23Alex, I...
01:04:24No, let me talk.
01:04:26Ever since you took this promotion,
01:04:28you've been like a different person.
01:04:30There's something wrong with that woman.
01:04:31I don't care.
01:04:33I don't care. Tina said that you laid your hands on her.
01:04:35You should have seen her when she told me she was shaking.
01:04:37I just tucked her in and she's fine.
01:04:39Oh, okay.
01:04:41Well, I'm glad that you think this is all fine.
01:05:00You're here.
01:05:02Where's Jason?
01:05:03No idea.
01:05:04Look, I tried calling you the other night.
01:05:06Where were you?
01:05:07I know something's wrong with my phone battery.
01:05:08It won't hold a charge.
01:05:10So what happened?
01:05:11Jason left me a message.
01:05:13He was digging up dirt on Phoebe.
01:05:15And?
01:05:16And...
01:05:17It's not even her real name.
01:05:19What?
01:05:20It's Lisa Nolan.
01:05:22What else did he find out?
01:05:24All I know is she used to live in some treatment center on the beach.
01:05:28Do you have the address?
01:05:29Yeah, it's, um, 32 Elm Road.
01:05:31Look, I haven't told anyone else.
01:05:33I wanted to wait for you.
01:05:35So, what should we do?
01:05:37I hired her.
01:05:39I'll take care of this.
01:05:41Yeah, you're gonna do.
01:05:48Oh.
01:05:49Sorry.
01:05:50Didn't mean to scare you.
01:05:52Call me crazy or did I just see you talking to Mel?
01:05:56She isn't feeling well.
01:05:58So, she just went home?
01:06:00I don't know, I guess.
01:06:02Uh-huh.
01:06:05Guess I'll just wait and see.
01:06:13Let's see what other lies you've told.
01:06:23Hello?
01:06:24Hi, Kelly-Anne?
01:06:26This is Melanie-Anne.
01:06:27This is Melanie Anderson.
01:06:29I spoke with you last week about a Phoebe Sutton.
01:06:31Hmm.
01:06:32What do you want?
01:06:34Well, for starters, I just found out that's not even her real name.
01:06:41Hello?
01:06:42Hello?
01:06:57Oh.
01:06:58Hi.
01:06:59Hi.
01:07:00Can I help you with something?
01:07:01I hope so.
01:07:02I wanted to ask about a woman named Phoebe Sutton.
01:07:05You may know her as Lisa Nolan.
01:07:07And who might you be?
01:07:09I'm Melanie Anderson.
01:07:10Is Lisa here?
01:07:12I'm afraid she hasn't stayed with us for several weeks now.
01:07:15I know.
01:07:17Is there anything you could tell me about Lisa?
01:07:20Look, with all due respect, the people here just want to be left alone.
01:07:24They want to get away from the outside world so they have as much time to heal as possible.
01:07:31But, she did have a friend here.
01:07:34Named Kelly-Anne.
01:07:36I saw the two of them spending quite a bit of time together.
01:07:38Is she here by any chance?
01:07:44It's a wonderful place.
01:07:46Been open 25 years.
01:07:48I'm just so grateful we get all of the necessary funding.
01:07:51And our patients have all of the amenities they need.
01:07:54Great staff to patient ratio.
01:07:56Over 50 hours a month of one-on-one time with a licensed therapist.
01:08:00I like to think of this place as a safe space for people to grow and learn from their past mistakes.
01:08:05In the most non-judgmental setting possible.
01:08:08Really help folks make it count when they get that second chance.
01:08:11Or third, or fourth.
01:08:13How do you know Lisa?
01:08:15She works for me.
01:08:17How long was she getting treatment here?
01:08:19A couple months.
01:08:21Ever since she got out.
01:08:23Got out? From rehab?
01:08:25Please, respect our patient's privacy.
01:08:28Kelly-Anne's over there.
01:08:30Kelly-Anne?
01:08:32You have a visitor.
01:08:33You have a visitor.
01:08:40Make it brief.
01:08:42And when you speak to her, be very polite and very calm.
01:08:45Who the hell are you?
01:08:47I'm Melanie Anderson.
01:08:49You hung up on me a half hour ago?
01:08:51I did?
01:08:53Yeah, you did. We also spoke last week.
01:08:55I was asking you about Phoebe Sutton.
01:08:58Look, I don't even know Phoebe Sutton.
01:09:00That's the truth.
01:09:01What about Lisa Nolan?
01:09:03Look, lady, I'm just here trying to get my life together, okay?
01:09:08Yeah, and I'm just here trying to keep mine together.
01:09:10Alright, I'm done here.
01:09:13Frances! Frances!
01:09:15Listen, I don't know this woman.
01:09:17Would you get her out of here for me, please?
01:09:19I need to know about Lisa.
01:09:21Please just tell me about Lisa.
01:09:23You need to leave now.
01:09:27I just need information.
01:09:28Wait, please.
01:09:30Is there anything you can tell me about Lisa?
01:09:32Lisa only stayed with us for a few months.
01:09:34And I need to respect her privacy.
01:09:36She was in jail, wasn't she?
01:09:38I knew it was something bad like that.
01:09:40What was she in jail for?
01:09:42Melanie, you know I can't give you that information.
01:09:44But, I don't know.
01:09:46Maybe her parole officer would tell you more.
01:09:48I'm sorry.
01:09:51Okay.
01:09:53Parole office. Parole office.
01:09:56Oh, there you go.
01:10:03Don't do that!
01:10:06What about what you just did?
01:10:08What?
01:10:10I didn't tell that lady anything.
01:10:13Oh, come on. Don't look at me like that.
01:10:15I did everything you said.
01:10:17I helped you get that damn job.
01:10:19I helped you get that damn job.
01:10:24I'm not afraid of you, Lisa.
01:10:27Why would you be?
01:10:30I'm just asking what you talked to Melanie about.
01:10:33If you say it's nothing, I believe you.
01:10:36Sorry I freaked you out.
01:10:40Well, I have a meeting.
01:10:42I should probably be getting inside.
01:10:44Hey.
01:10:46Thanks for having my back.
01:10:49I miss you.
01:11:01I have to be heading back to work anyway.
01:11:16Hi. Are you Officer Steiner?
01:11:19You one of mine?
01:11:21No, I've never been arrested.
01:11:23Keep up the good work.
01:11:25So why are you here?
01:11:27I need to talk to you about one of your cases.
01:11:30Sorry. Can't help you.
01:11:32Please, listen to me.
01:11:34Her name is Lisa Nolan.
01:11:36But I know her as Phoebe Sutton.
01:11:38And she is making my life a living hell.
01:11:40How do you mean?
01:11:45I hired her as my assistant.
01:11:46Turns out nothing on her work resume is even true.
01:11:49But it's not just work.
01:11:51She's invaded my whole family.
01:11:53Please, I have a little girl.
01:11:55Is there anything you can tell me about her?
01:11:59How'd you find me anyway?
01:12:01I was able to track Lisa to the Sum Treatment Center.
01:12:03But she had already left.
01:12:05She had listed Kellyanne Darcy as her work reference.
01:12:07She was still there.
01:12:09Yeah, they were locked up in a cell together upstate.
01:12:12Kellyanne on a drug charge, assault and vandalism for Lisa.
01:12:17Do you have any proof she's trying to harm you or your family?
01:12:20I found a hidden camera in my bedroom.
01:12:23She denies it, but...
01:12:25So, nothing concrete?
01:12:27No.
01:12:29Look, I'll ask her about it.
01:12:31Believe me.
01:12:33But if she hasn't done anything illegal, that's about all I can do.
01:12:36In the meanwhile, I suggest you be careful.
01:12:38Call the police as soon as you have anything solid.
01:12:41By then it'll be too late.
01:12:47I remember something about her saying she was gonna look up some family now that she was out.
01:12:53Yeah, this is it.
01:12:55She requested a bunch of documents while she was still in lockup.
01:12:58Documents about what?
01:13:00Juvie record, chain of custody, that sort of thing.
01:13:02Both Lisa's parents died when she was pretty young, so she didn't have a lot of memories from that time of her life.
01:13:07Mother died of cancer when she was two.
01:13:10Father, a car accident when she was barely four.
01:13:13Oh, God.
01:13:14It's awful.
01:13:16Yeah, it's a little rougher on some of us than others.
01:13:19Just ask most of the people that have sat in that seat.
01:13:23Looks like her father remarried about a year before he died.
01:13:26Stepmother didn't keep Lisa too long. She was pretty young herself.
01:13:30Sent her to live with her grandparents, but she wound up in the foster care system shortly after that.
01:13:39One of the homes turned out to be pretty damn abusive.
01:13:42I had no idea.
01:13:45What about the stepmom? Maybe I can talk to her. What's her name?
01:13:50Carol. Carol Graham.
01:14:12Okay.
01:14:31Mom, I don't know when you're getting back from your trip, but you've got to call me as soon as you can.
01:14:35Something's wrong.
01:14:42Hello, Carol.
01:14:45What are you doing here? How'd you get in?
01:14:48This has been my house for over a week now.
01:14:51Who are you?
01:14:53You don't even recognize me, do you?
01:14:56Figures.
01:14:59Oh, my God.
01:15:01Lisa?
01:15:11Mom?
01:15:18Hello?
01:15:19Hey, boss. Where have you been? I haven't seen you all day.
01:15:24I know, Lisa. I know everything.
01:15:27Well, actually, that's a relief. So I guess you'll be coming home to discuss it then, huh?
01:15:33Sister.
01:15:35Stepsister.
01:15:37Wait, wait, what do you mean? Where are you?
01:15:38Exactly where I said. Home.
01:15:42Leave them alone. This is between us.
01:15:44You got that right. And when you get here, you better be on your best behavior. No cops.
01:15:50I see one black and white and all bets are off. Bye.
01:16:01Alex can't come to the phone right now. Can I take a message?
01:16:04Lisa, I swear to God.
01:16:05He's spending quality time with his family.
01:16:07Leave them alone if you hurt them.
01:16:09Bye.
01:16:16Sorry about that. Just had to make a quick phone call.
01:16:19Hey.
01:16:20What's up?
01:16:22Look, I just want to apologize again for yesterday.
01:16:24Oh. In Mel's defense, she has been going through a lot of changes lately.
01:16:29And like I said, we totally smoked the peace pipe.
01:16:33I mean, do you think I would come over?
01:16:35If I thought she'd mind.
01:16:37Oh, that's great. I guess I should probably call her.
01:16:39If I had my phone.
01:16:42Oh, I just talked to her. She is on her way home.
01:16:45Let's play.
01:16:47Shall we?
01:16:52I'm coming. Daddy.
01:16:54Yeah. Come on, Alex.
01:16:56Yeah. Yeah.
01:17:01Who's up?
01:17:03Your turn.
01:17:05Okay.
01:17:19Well, look who it is.
01:17:21We were just wondering when you were going to show up.
01:17:24Here I am.
01:17:26Hey, Mommy.
01:17:28Hey, sweetie.
01:17:30Hey.
01:17:32Good?
01:17:33I'm glad you two made up.
01:17:36Yeah.
01:17:38It's like we're sisters.
01:17:40So whose turn is it?
01:17:42Phoebe's.
01:17:44You're right.
01:17:46It is my turn.
01:17:48I almost forgot.
01:17:50I need to download you in on that conference call with Barbara.
01:17:53You know, I actually just saw her.
01:17:56I had a feeling.
01:17:58Sorry, honey, but we just need to sort out this stuff right now.
01:18:00If we must.
01:18:03Boo!
01:18:05Hey, listen to your Mommy.
01:18:07You don't want to be put in time out.
01:18:09I've been put in time out before, and let me tell you, it really sucks.
01:18:16Would you like a big banana split to make up for it?
01:18:19Yeah.
01:18:21Alex, would you mind grabbing her a little snack?
01:18:23Uh, yeah. Sure.
01:18:25You guys sure everything is cool with you two?
01:18:27Absolutely.
01:18:29We just need to get this over with.
01:18:31Sure.
01:18:41Something tells me you don't want to talk about Barbara from Yowzers.
01:18:47What gave you that idea, Phoebe?
01:18:50Now, I'm not sure if someone as lucky as you can be aware of this,
01:18:53but there is a very thin line between pleasure and pain.
01:18:58It's that same line that separates the two of us.
01:19:03See, you got all the joy, and I got all the hurt.
01:19:09But tables were built to be turned.
01:19:12Lisa, I feel really horrible for what happened to you.
01:19:16I do.
01:19:18No, you don't.
01:19:20Not yet.
01:19:21But you will.
01:19:23Very soon.
01:19:25So what happens now?
01:19:27You get rid of me, and then what?
01:19:30Alex and Tina and Sam and everyone, they just forget I existed and accept you in my place?
01:19:36That's your plan?
01:19:38Why is that so crazy?
01:19:40I mean, I'm the one that got Sam the Yowzers account.
01:19:45I'm the one that made Tina's birthday party super special.
01:19:47And I can make Alex sweat in the dead of winter just by touching his arm.
01:19:53You see, I'm better at being you than you ever were.
01:19:57It's my life!
01:19:59Then I guess this is what you would call a life hack.
01:20:01Do you want to know how I do it?
01:20:03I'm going to tell everyone you tried to kill me with this gun.
01:20:07And you gave me no choice, but I had to take it away, and like I said, you gave me no choice.
01:20:15No one's going to believe that.
01:20:18Are you so sure about that?
01:20:21Everyone has seen you attacking me at work.
01:20:25Yelling at me.
01:20:27Your own family has seen it.
01:20:29It's clear you've been under a lot of extra pressure lately.
01:20:34You snapped.
01:20:36It happens.
01:20:38It's about to happen very soon.
01:20:41No. No, please.
01:20:43Tina, we'll-
01:20:45It's fine.
01:20:47Her Aunt Lisa's going to take super good care of her.
01:20:50Alex, too.
01:20:52Please, I can help you.
01:20:55Oh, and what would you do?
01:20:57We'll call my mom, okay? We'll call Carol. We'll make sense of all of this.
01:21:00And what would she say?
01:21:02I'm so sorry for running off and leaving a terrified little girl behind to be abused by gross strangers?
01:21:09Yeah, she would.
01:21:12That bitch is already sorry.
01:21:15Trust me.
01:21:18You killed her?
01:21:20She killed me first.
01:21:22How?
01:21:24A long time ago.
01:21:26And now I'm making everything right.
01:21:29The right life.
01:21:31The right job.
01:21:33The right mommy.
01:21:35More like the wrong mommy!
01:21:39Oh, thank God you're okay.
01:21:42I know her.
01:21:44I know her.
01:21:46So do I.
01:21:50Tina!
01:21:52She's okay. She's okay.
01:21:55Help.
01:21:57Women helping women.
01:22:06I can't believe I have a stepsister.
01:22:08This has just all been so crazy.
01:22:11I mean, she tried to steal my life.
01:22:14Everything I love.
01:22:16My daughter, my husband, my career.
01:22:22The card she was dealt compared to mine.
01:22:27I guess I can't really blame her.
01:22:29No, you can blame me.
01:22:31No, this is my fault.
01:22:33You didn't know.
01:22:35Oh, honey.
01:22:36Oh, honey.
01:22:38I surrendered our daughter to her grandparents,
01:22:42whom I thought wanted her.
01:22:46You were really young.
01:22:48I was so overwhelmed with the idea of raising her alone.
01:22:54I really thought that I would be the worst thing for her.
01:22:59I had no idea that this situation with her grandparents
01:23:02would end up being so temporary.
01:23:06If I'd known, I...
01:23:11I was just selfish.
01:23:13Mom, don't. Mom.
01:23:16Hey, guys. Sorry, I'm gonna get Tina off to school.
01:23:19Yeah, thanks, babe.
01:23:21Sure. Let me know if you need anything.
01:23:23Oh, we're just catching up on some stuff.
01:23:25Right. Okay, I'll get out of your way.
01:23:28Goodbye, Mommy. Goodbye, Grandma.
01:23:29Bye.
01:23:31Give me a hug.
01:23:33What would you like for dinner tonight? Anything you want.
01:23:36Anything? Anything.
