00:00:00These are all so good, I don't know how we're gonna decide.
00:00:11Brian?
00:00:12Are you okay?
00:00:14You haven't tried any of them.
00:00:21This one's my favorite.
00:00:23I'll go with the vanilla.
00:00:24Gina, it's my wedding, so I will be making the decisions.
00:00:28I'm not really sure why you insisted on coming today.
00:00:31When were you planning on telling her?
00:00:34Astrid, there's something I've been meaning to talk to you about.
00:00:37Ugh, out with it, Brian.
00:00:41Astrid?
00:00:46I'm pregnant with Brian's baby.
00:00:51That is not funny.
00:00:52I hate to be the one to break it to you, but Brian and I will be getting married in a couple of weeks.
00:00:58Instead of you.
00:01:00So I'm assuming that you won't be needing a plus one.
00:01:07Astrid, I'm sorry.
00:01:11You're sorry?
00:01:13You're sorry?!
00:01:16Five years, Brian!
00:01:19Five years!
00:01:20Down the drain!
00:01:21I've been paying your rent to help you with your business!
00:01:24And I've been helping you with your mom when she's sick!
00:01:26Are you fucking kidding?!
00:01:27Oh my god, stop being so dramatic!
00:01:30Look, I already packed your shit from his apartment.
00:01:33It's at the dump, where you belong.
00:01:36Where you belong.
00:01:57Have fun eating cake, you two pieces of shit!
00:01:59Bitch!
00:02:00Don't!
00:02:07Adam.
00:02:08I'll move my meeting to Monday.
00:02:09I'm out for the evening as of...
00:02:13Right now.
00:02:14Goodnight, Adam.
00:02:15Wait!
00:02:17Yeah.
00:02:18And he's gone.
00:02:19Goodnight!
00:02:20Did you know that if you only sash three out of four tires on a car, the insurance won't cover it?
00:02:26Oh!
00:02:27And I love cheese!
00:02:28I know there's one place that has four outs full of different cheeses from all over the world.
00:02:31Ryder.
00:02:32You would love it!
00:02:33We should go sometime.
00:02:35I'm lactose intolerant.
00:02:36What's lactose intolerant?
00:02:40Excuse me, I have to use the bathroom.
00:02:42Sir.
00:02:43Madam asks that I keep an eye on you, in case you try to run away again.
00:02:52I appreciate that, Mason.
00:02:53But I'm just gonna use the bathroom.
00:02:55Is that an issue?
00:02:56I'm not twelve.
00:02:57I'm not twelve.
00:03:22Give me your vest.
00:03:23Give me your pants.
00:03:24Ah!
00:03:36Get the suit.
00:03:38Oh my god.
00:03:40It has to be worth like ten thousand.
00:03:45I should let more men strip me naked.
00:03:48Oh!
00:03:49Oh my god!
00:03:50Sorry!
00:03:51Asterisk?
00:03:54It really is her.
00:04:03Hi.
00:04:04Hi.
00:04:06Can I, can I walk you home?
00:04:09And she looks horrified to see me.
00:04:12I guess that makes sense, considering she's my ex.
00:04:14And I was the one who broke her heart.
00:04:17Ryder?
00:04:19Ryder Van Woodsen.
00:04:20What the hell are you doing here?
00:04:24Ryder Van Woodsen.
00:04:26What the hell are you doing here?
00:04:30You're not Ryder.
00:04:31What?
00:04:32Sorry.
00:04:33Oh my god.
00:04:34She doesn't recognize that it's me.
00:04:35It's a fitting image of this evil ex of mine from high school, but...
00:04:41But more buff.
00:04:42For sure.
00:04:44Oh my god.
00:04:45I've had enough drama for one day to have to deal with that old flame.
00:04:47He broke up with me randomly.
00:04:48Crushed me into a million.
00:04:49If only you knew the truth about why he broke up with me.
00:04:52I'm blabbering.
00:04:53I guess it wouldn't hurt to be a good old friendly Clyde for a little bit.
00:04:56She looks like she really is a friend.
00:04:58I'm sorry you had a horrible day.
00:04:59On behalf of my apparently skinnier and less handsome doppelganger.
00:05:04Now for your drink.
00:05:06You're our godsend, Clyde.
00:05:08Drink is exactly what I came here for.
00:05:11A Long Island, please.
00:05:13A Long Island coming right up.
00:05:15You know, speaking of dumb reasons to get dumped,
00:05:18I actually just got dumped like 15 minutes ago.
00:05:20Two weeks before our wedding.
00:05:23I was pregnant.
00:05:25You're pregnant?
00:05:27He dumped you because of a baby?
00:05:28No.
00:05:29He knocked up my stepsister.
00:05:31Oh my god.
00:05:33We've been together for five years,
00:05:34and how much of that time was he pinning down my stepsister?
00:05:37I mean, am I so just worthless of a girlfriend?
00:05:42That the man I thought I was going to spend the rest of my life with...
00:05:46I've just been with my stepsister.
00:05:48That's a very weird tasting Long Island.
00:05:52That is the, uh, special.
00:05:55You know, maybe you're supposed to be with someone who actually wants to cherish you.
00:05:59Someone, from the moment that they laid eyes on you,
00:06:03knew that you'd be the one for them.
00:06:08That is a horrible drink.
00:06:11No offense.
00:06:12Oh!
00:06:13That is hitting, so...
00:06:18Um, hi!
00:06:20My baby!
00:06:22Oh, I just heard.
00:06:25Ryder.
00:06:27What are you doing here?
00:06:28What are you doing here?
00:06:36I know.
00:06:37Very similar looking to Ryder.
00:06:40Clyde.
00:06:42Clyde.
00:06:43Adam.
00:06:44Adam.
00:06:45Clyde.
00:06:46Ryder.
00:06:47Ryder is this asshole CEO.
00:06:48He's got buckets and buns of money.
00:06:52Oh, buckets and buns, huh?
00:06:53He wouldn't need to be bartending to some drunk folk like us.
00:06:57Can I actually get another one in this place?
00:06:59Um...
00:07:01Yeah, my mistake.
00:07:03Right.
00:07:05But how are you doing?
00:07:07Men are stupid.
00:07:08You know, just one too many you've had to deal with this evening.
00:07:17Since you asked, personally, I am peachy.
00:07:22I can see that.
00:07:24Honey Bunny, why don't we, um, get you home now, okay?
00:07:27And maybe let's stop sitting next to the man that looks like your ex, hmm?
00:07:32Before someone sees you.
00:07:34We should take a selfie.
00:07:35Can we?
00:07:36Can we?
00:07:37Clyde, come on.
00:07:38Pretend to be Ryder with you.
00:07:39Let's take a selfie.
00:07:40Come here.
00:07:43Alright.
00:07:44Time to go.
00:07:45Okay.
00:07:46Goodnight, Mr. D.
00:07:48Yeah, get your bag.
00:07:52I owe you one.
00:07:53Up to no good, you are.
00:07:56Alright, come on.
00:07:57Here we go.
00:08:02Will you just cross?
00:08:03Cross.
00:08:04Cross.
00:08:05But careful of the...
00:08:06Okay.
00:08:07Alright, alright, alright, alright, alright, alright, alright.
00:08:09It's good to see you one more time, Astrid.
00:08:12Are you?
00:08:13If I could do that...
00:08:14Are you good?
00:08:15Are you good?
00:08:17I don't want you to have to stay with him any longer than is necessary, but...
00:08:20I know you are so right.
00:08:21Yes.
00:08:23Of course!
00:08:24You could be here!
00:08:25The one place I have left is sleep.
00:08:26Why are you here?
00:08:27Well, I couldn't actually go to my ex-fiancee's place.
00:08:28No thanks to you, Gina.
00:08:29Some stepsister.
00:08:30You are.
00:08:31So...
00:08:32I actually had nowhere else to go.
00:08:33Oh.
00:08:34So you got kicked out of Brian's, and you come to my mom's place to sleep?
00:08:36Are you serious?
00:08:37I mean, go be a homeless bum somewhere else.
00:08:38Get out!
00:08:39You are no daughter of mine!
00:08:41You were an asshole to me, and you were an asshole to Brian.
00:08:42That's why he did not want to take you home to my ex-fiancee's place.
00:08:45Oh, thanks to you, Gina.
00:08:46Some stepsister.
00:08:47I'm a stepsister.
00:08:48You are.
00:08:49So...
00:08:50I actually had nowhere else to go.
00:08:51Oh.
00:08:52So you got kicked out of Brian's, and you come to my mom's place to sleep?
00:08:55Are you serious?
00:08:56I mean, go be a homeless bum somewhere else.
00:08:59Get out!
00:09:00You are no daughter of mine.
00:09:03You were an asshole to me, and you were an asshole to Brian.
00:09:07That's why he did not want anything to do with you.
00:09:10Luckily, Gina was able to keep his wealth in the family.
00:09:14No thanks to you.
00:09:16Really?
00:09:17Really?
00:09:19And my dad, who's been in the hospital,
00:09:22in and out for the last five years,
00:09:24have either of you ever dared to lift a finger to try to help?
00:09:29No.
00:09:30I didn't think so.
00:09:32I'm going to bed.
00:09:34Oh, you are not sleeping here.
00:09:37Okay, I'm not sleeping here.
00:09:40It's not like I enjoy being in your presence.
00:09:45You'll probably get contaminated with whatever sticks up both your butts.
00:09:48Like mother, like daughter, right?
00:09:52You come into my house.
00:09:55You are under my roof.
00:09:56You will show me respect.
00:09:59Respect is earned.
00:10:03You've done nothing to earn my respect.
00:10:07Get out.
00:10:08I don't ever want to see you again.
00:10:14Oh, but you will see me again at Gina's grand wedding
00:10:19with my new man,
00:10:20who's actually richer than Brian.
00:10:23Oh, yeah, right.
00:10:26Like who?
00:10:29Ryder Van Woodson.
00:10:32Ryder Van Woodson.
00:10:37Okay, Ryder dumped you in high school.
00:10:39Why would he be interested in someone like you?
00:10:42You don't deserve someone like him.
00:10:45I guess you're just going to have to wait and see on your big day, Gina.
00:10:49Me and my hot new date.
00:10:51I'm going to go pack my shit and leave.
00:10:53How is that possible?
00:10:59Mom, Ryder Van Woodson, the heir of the Van Woodson group?
00:11:02I don't believe that little bitch.
00:11:05I have nowhere to go.
00:11:15Except maybe my dad's at the hospital, but...
00:11:18That's a far walk.
00:11:20I have to convince Bart under Clyde to go with me as a rider to the wedding.
00:11:25Astrid, you are just full of great drunk ideas.
00:11:44Why are you here?
00:11:46Oh, good.
00:11:47You're home.
00:11:48I wanted to ask you, how was your date with little Miss Dolly?
00:11:51Spectacular.
00:11:51Really?
00:11:52No, Mom, I was being sarcastic.
00:11:54Then why don't you just say so?
00:11:56Would you please?
00:11:57Can you please just stop setting me up on these blind dates?
00:12:01Ryder, you know why I'm doing this.
00:12:03You need an heir.
00:12:05My head is throbbing, Mom.
00:12:07Did you take your medication today?
00:12:09No.
00:12:10Figures.
00:12:12So are you going to stop?
00:12:15No.
00:12:16We need someone capable to run the business.
00:12:19Okay, just in case...
00:12:22In case I die?
00:12:24In case you are no longer able to do it all alone.
00:12:41We did a number of tests on your son, Mrs. Van Woodson.
00:12:45And I'm sorry to inform you that...
00:12:48Ryder has a brain tumor.
00:12:49Now, we can discuss some treatment options.
00:12:59At the moment...
00:13:01The cancer has taken over a portion of his brain that...
00:13:06We don't feel it's safe to operate.
00:13:07Ryder!
00:13:24Ryder...
00:13:24Yeah?
00:13:25Well, don't you worry about me.
00:13:29I can handle it.
00:13:31Yeah, well.
00:13:35Writer, are you all right?
00:13:39Honey?
00:13:40Honey, are you all right?
00:13:42Oh, oh, oh.
00:13:44We're having an episode, honey.
00:13:45We have to go to the hospital.
00:13:58Here.
00:14:01Is you doing okay?
00:14:03You wandered in here very drunk last night.
00:14:08Brian cheated on me with Gina.
00:14:11I'm so sorry, hon.
00:14:16Oh, morning, Half-Lung.
00:14:19I'm sorry, what did you just call my dad?
00:14:21So, there have been some changes with the insurance coverages on your dad's provided care.
00:14:26Your doctor insight was needed.
00:14:28I'm sorry, you were telling me that you changed the doctor to someone that wasn't under our coverage so you could gouge more money from us?
00:14:34I am literally already homeless.
00:14:36What, are you taking, like, another 10,000?
00:14:3850,000, most likely.
00:14:40And what I'm telling you is that if you're unhappy with the provided care here, you can find another hospital to bitch at.
00:14:46What?
00:14:47I don't know.
00:14:48I don't know.
00:14:48You don't know.
00:14:50I don't know.
00:14:51Adam.
00:14:51I don't know.
00:14:52Adam, I need you to...
00:15:04Yes, good morning, Adam.
00:15:07Okay, enough.
00:15:08I'll see you when I get in the office.
00:15:10Right now, I need you to listen to me.
00:15:14I slept at the hospital with my dad, which is fine, but it's obviously not sustainable.
00:15:22Yeah, I'd also really like to have a place in case he gets discharged.
00:15:26And to life.
00:15:28But, you know, I'd say you could stay at mine, but the in-laws have taken refuge here as well.
00:15:36You know, I might...
00:15:38Let me call you back.
00:15:39Okay.
00:15:45Hey.
00:15:46How do you know Astrid?
00:15:48She's been my best friend since college.
00:15:50Why aren't you trying to get buddy-buddy with Astrid under an alias?
00:15:56She needs a place to stay, right?
00:15:57She spent the night at the hospital with her dad.
00:16:00You didn't answer my question.
00:16:02Who is Astrid to you, Mr. Van Woodson?
00:16:05No one.
00:16:06Uh, no, no, no, no, no.
00:16:07Don't give me that.
00:16:08You were giving me those googly eyes, begging me not to reveal who you are.
00:16:12So, Mr. Van Woodson, what are you doing with Astrid?
00:16:15I know you two dated.
00:16:17It's why I haven't told her I work for you.
00:16:21I just want to help her.
00:16:24That's all.
00:16:25She needed a friend.
00:16:26She has a friend.
00:16:28You, sir?
00:16:29Not a friend.
00:16:29You are an ex of hers who ripped out her heart and ate it for breakfast.
00:16:35I had no choice.
00:16:36We all make choices.
00:16:38You had yours.
00:16:40Choice is an illusion.
00:16:42Now, back to what I was saying.
00:16:43She needs a place to stay, right?
00:16:44Okay.
00:16:45Moving in with a stranger who looks exactly like your ex is totally normal.
00:17:03Come on, Astrid.
00:17:04You can do this.
00:17:05Come on.
00:17:15Hey, Astrid.
00:17:18He even sounds like him.
00:17:21Astrid?
00:17:22Yeah?
00:17:23Will you go to prom with me?
00:17:26Of course I will.
00:17:30Yes.
00:17:30Ryder.
00:17:46Sorry, Clyde.
00:17:47I called you Ryder again.
00:17:50It's okay.
00:17:51Come on in.
00:18:00Adam said you needed a roommate.
00:18:04I just happened to need one as well.
00:18:07Yeah, weird coincidence.
00:18:11Um, about the other night, I was very drunk.
00:18:16And I'm a bartender.
00:18:17Don't worry about it.
00:18:19I, uh, I actually prepped us some dinner.
00:18:21I hope you like staying on them.
00:18:22Oh, sorry.
00:18:39What's wrong?
00:18:40Can you actually...
00:18:41What's wrong?
00:18:45Can you, uh...
00:18:46Are you okay?
00:18:50Sorry.
00:18:51No, don't be sorry.
00:18:52Are you okay?
00:18:55Come sit.
00:19:06Do you...
00:19:07Do you want to talk about it?
00:19:10No.
00:19:11I'd rather not.
00:19:13I understand.
00:19:21Um, I do have to ask you something.
00:19:27Yeah, sure.
00:19:27Ask away.
00:19:30I might have told my stepmom and stepsister that I was going to the wedding with Ryder
00:19:34and Woodson.
00:19:36I showed them that selfie that I took with you.
00:19:38Um, you don't have to, but if you'd be willing to go and pretend to be Ryder and Woodson.
00:19:45Sure.
00:19:52Really?
00:19:53You would do that?
00:19:54I mean, I don't see why not.
00:19:55Uh, free food and drinks, right?
00:19:57Yeah, I mean, I've been planning for it to be an open bar.
00:19:59Good.
00:20:02Then you're going to have to brief me on you and Ryder's relationship.
00:20:04Oh, uh, sure.
00:20:08I mean, he was a skinny kid.
00:20:10Not at all your physique.
00:20:14Um, anyway.
00:20:16Yeah, we had a really loving relationship.
00:20:19We were completely inseparable.
00:20:22We were talking about moving in together, starting our futures.
00:20:25It was very serious stuff for we 17-year-olds, but I should have known one day he would just
00:20:31be a dick.
00:20:34Check and check.
00:20:38If only she knew that I would just be showing up as myself.
00:20:47What are you here for this son?
00:20:49Yes, well, I came to see how he was doing.
00:20:52Still sick and dying.
00:20:53Oh, good.
00:20:54I would hate for my husband to recover.
00:20:58Anyways, I need a favor from you.
00:21:01I need a certain medication.
00:21:06An aphrodisiac.
00:21:08Taste of this.
00:21:15I'll pay you extra for it.
00:21:18Wait.
00:21:18Here.
00:21:22Got just what you need.
00:21:27You stupid old man.
00:21:30Your daughter wasn't worth saving.
00:21:33You should have just let her burn.
00:21:35We could have collected the insurance money and run off together.
00:21:40But you had to be the stubborn hero, didn't you?
00:21:44Lost all your money to medical bills.
00:22:00Yeah, what's up?
00:22:01The doctor you wanted me to look into?
00:22:04Yeah.
00:22:05It turns out, Dr. Daniel Evans has no background as a medical care professional.
00:22:11In fact, he has a criminal background selling drugs.
00:22:25Come on.
00:22:26Where are you going?
00:22:29I'm kicking a drug dealer's ass.
00:22:30Are you joining me or not?
00:22:31Dr. Daniel Evans?
00:22:50Can I help you?
00:22:52Yeah.
00:22:54I haven't seen you in a while.
00:22:56Hello, Dr. Daniel.
00:23:00Do you need some breath?
00:23:06You're the bastard that's been smoking outside the room with a man suffering from lung failure!
00:23:14Yo!
00:23:15What the fuck?
00:23:16Who the fuck do you think you are?
00:23:19Termination papers.
00:23:20You'll be serving jail time for perpetuating patient symptoms under reckless behavior while within the hospital walls.
00:23:24You're also going to be charged with selling the hospital's narcotics.
00:23:27The police are outside waiting to escort you.
00:23:31I'm Ryder Van Woodson.
00:23:36Good luck selling drugs in jail, bitch!
00:23:38Thank you so much.
00:23:44Okay, you too.
00:23:47Colin!
00:23:49What's up?
00:23:50The hospital that my dad is admitted to just called and said that all of my bills have been paid off by a mystery donor and he's being transferred to a better care unit free of charging cost.
00:23:59That is awesome news.
00:24:00I feel like I can breathe now.
00:24:04This is like the most relief I've felt in a decade.
00:24:08And now, now I can start planning to buy my house.
00:24:12You want to buy my house?
00:24:13Yeah, well, I mean, that's the plan.
00:24:14We'll see.
00:24:15I don't earn enough right now to do that.
00:24:17Oh!
00:24:17Oh!
00:24:17Oh my goodness, okay.
00:24:24You all right?
00:24:26You know, you make a pretty good doctor.
00:24:28Yeah, right.
00:24:29Wouldn't have to if someone knew what hot was.
00:24:32I think I have a great understanding what hot is.
00:24:35Oh, is that so?
00:24:39Are you, um, ready for the wedding later?
00:24:42Uh, your wedding.
00:24:48What wedding?
00:24:50Uh, wedding.
00:24:53Yeah, what wedding?
00:24:56Oh, the one that I invited you to to pretend to be right around Woodson?
00:25:01Yeah.
00:25:01Yeah, that wedding.
00:25:03Yeah, of course.
00:25:04Uh, when are we leaving?
00:25:06Seven-ish.
00:25:07Are you okay?
00:25:07If you don't want to go, we don't have to.
00:25:09No, I said we're going to go, so we're going to go.
00:25:12I'm just, uh, I'm going to lay down for a second first.
00:25:16Okay.
00:25:26Maybe this was a mistake.
00:25:29She's going to find out who I am if my memory issues continue.
00:25:35And it's not like I can remember what I can't remember.
00:25:40I don't remember the wedding at all.
00:25:42Yeah, it doesn't matter.
00:25:44But what if I lose my memories of her?
00:25:52Ready when you are.
00:25:53One sec.
00:25:55We're going to miss the reception if you don't hurry.
00:25:57Well, I don't really care about the reception.
00:25:59She cares about the blasted after-party.
00:26:01Wow.
00:26:14What?
00:26:14Is this too much?
00:26:16My friend let me borrow the dress.
00:26:17Well, actually, she made it for me.
00:26:18Said it was an early birthday gift, but my birthday's not for, like, six months.
00:26:21You look stunning.
00:26:25Brian's going to rethink all of his life decisions.
00:26:27That leaving you is the worst thing he could have ever done.
00:26:29Yeah, well, he cheated on me, so it's his loss of mine.
00:26:33Indeed.
00:26:34So you're feeling better?
00:26:35Much.
00:26:36Permission to be your boyfriend this evening.
00:26:38Permission granted.
00:26:40Well then, let's get this show on the road.
00:26:42I am not surprised Astra didn't show.
00:26:52I mean, she's always been the selfish bitch of the family.
00:27:07Who is that?
00:27:11Pat?
00:27:12It's Ryder Van Woodsen.
00:27:19Brian?
00:27:21Ugh, helpless.
00:27:24I'm telling mom.
00:27:28Brian is looking green with envy.
00:27:30Really?
00:27:31Yeah, I know that look.
00:27:32He'll like it.
00:27:32He's coming over.
00:27:33Come over soon.
00:27:35Excuse me.
00:27:37May I still ask her for a dance?
00:27:39She was my girl first.
00:27:41It's okay.
00:27:42Just be a second.
00:27:51You look beautiful.
00:27:54What do you want, Brian?
00:27:55Who's the new guy you're with?
00:27:57Are you trying to make me jealous?
00:27:58Because it's working.
00:27:59Are you serious?
00:28:05Brian, you fucked my stepsister.
00:28:06You don't get to say that to me.
00:28:08I don't know what happened.
00:28:09I was drunk.
00:28:10Of course you were.
00:28:11I never meant for it to happen.
00:28:12I barely remember doing it.
00:28:13Okay.
00:28:14You could spare me the details.
00:28:15Thanks.
00:28:16I'm sorry.
00:28:18I don't know that I can forgive myself, but maybe one day...
00:28:21Brian, look around.
00:28:24Where do you think that we are?
00:28:27You're right.
00:28:29No, no, you're right.
00:28:31This is the last time you will ever have access to me.
00:28:35Do you understand that?
00:28:36What the fuck do you think you're doing with my husband, you whore?
00:28:42Gina!
00:28:43You do not get to do this at my wedding.
00:28:46This is my wedding.
00:28:47You do not dance with my husband.
00:28:49I'm so sorry.
00:28:50I forgot to send my congratulations on stealing my fiance.
00:28:55Congrats, Gina.
00:28:57On a big, big day.
00:29:00Touch her and you'll lose this arm.
00:29:02Roger.
00:29:03Stay away from my girlfriend.
00:29:06Girlfriend, how is that possible?
00:29:12Why the fuck would you date this loser?
00:29:15Oh.
00:29:16You dumped her in high school.
00:29:17Hell, you should have dated me back then.
00:29:19I mean, you should have seen how pathetic Astrid was when you left her.
00:29:23She would cry, like, every morning and evening.
00:29:26For hours.
00:29:27For months.
00:29:29Super annoying.
00:29:30Gina, let's get something very clear.
00:29:32You have never been someone worthy of my affections.
00:29:35Now, I apologize to Astrid.
00:29:36Apologize to her?
00:29:40Never.
00:29:41I hear you have a pretty good standing in the whiskey business.
00:29:44It would be a shame if you suddenly stopped generating clientele.
00:29:47Are you threatening me?
00:29:49Apologize.
00:29:50You're bluffing.
00:29:51Would you like to find out?
00:29:56Would you like to find out?
00:29:57Holy shit.
00:29:59Clyde is an amazing actor.
00:30:01Wait.
00:30:02Please.
00:30:04I mean, I was just joking.
00:30:06I mean, just sisterly banter, right, Astrid?
00:30:10Just roughhousing.
00:30:12You know?
00:30:13You're lucky this is all you have to do to repent.
00:30:16Apologize.
00:30:16It's your business.
00:30:18Are you going to do something?
00:30:20We are so, so sorry.
00:30:21Please.
00:30:22Brian!
00:30:23Please forgive my wife for her recklessness.
00:30:25I can't afford to lose this business.
00:30:26Not with a baby on the way.
00:30:28Do you accept their apology, Astrid?
00:30:31Yeah.
00:30:33It's whatever.
00:30:35Discovery.
00:30:41Hey.
00:30:42Are you alright?
00:30:42Oh my god, Clyde!
00:30:44You totally had me back there!
00:30:45Why did you learn to act like that?
00:30:46I...
00:30:47Thank you for that.
00:30:49I've never seen Brian and Jean like that.
00:30:50You scared the shit out of them.
00:30:53At your service.
00:30:55How about a reward, then?
00:30:57What kind of reward?
00:30:59A dance.
00:31:00Just us two.
00:31:01For old times' sake.
00:31:04What?
00:31:05Huh?
00:31:06You said for old times' sake.
00:31:08I, uh...
00:31:09I meant, like, what it's like to dance as a kid.
00:31:12You know, that feeling like you have all the time in the world ahead of you?
00:31:15Sorry if that sounded weird.
00:31:17No, it's okay.
00:31:20Yeah, I'd like that.
00:31:27I danced with a girl like this once.
00:31:29Yeah?
00:31:30It's Nia.
00:31:32Who is she?
00:31:34My first love.
00:31:35She was beautiful.
00:31:37She made every day so much brighter.
00:31:39I never found the love like I had with her.
00:31:42What happened?
00:31:44Then I, uh...
00:31:44I broke her heart.
00:31:49And I'm sorry to inform you that...
00:31:53Ryder has a great tuber.
00:31:58Ryder!
00:31:58Ryder!
00:31:59Ryder!
00:31:59Ryder!
00:32:00Ryder!
00:32:00Ryder!
00:32:01What are you doing?
00:32:01Why?
00:32:02You broke up with her?
00:32:02I don't know.
00:32:02I don't know.
00:32:03I don't know.
00:32:03I don't know.
00:32:04I don't know.
00:32:04I don't know.
00:32:04I don't know.
00:32:05I don't know.
00:32:05I don't know how much I've been breaking up with you.
00:32:08I know.
00:32:09That's so funny.
00:32:10I mean it.
00:32:12This is our last dance.
00:32:13Let's not see each other again.
00:32:15Sorry to what?
00:32:16Wait.
00:32:17Ryder.
00:32:18We love each other.
00:32:18What are you talking about?
00:32:19I know.
00:32:20Just forgetting yesterday.
00:32:22Ryder.
00:32:23Ryder!
00:32:23What are you doing?
00:32:27Why?
00:32:28You broke up with her?
00:32:31Sometimes we don't really have a choice.
00:32:34We leave the ones we love because it's better for them.
00:32:38No.
00:32:39I think you always have a choice.
00:32:41You should have to pick your battles.
00:32:45Ryder Van Woodson!
00:32:47It is so good to see you.
00:32:49It has been so long, dear.
00:32:51Ma'am?
00:32:53It's Candace.
00:32:54Remember?
00:32:57You know, I couldn't possibly understand what you see in my stepdaughter.
00:33:02Nothing but death and destruction in her way.
00:33:05I didn't cause the fire, if that's what you're referring to.
00:33:08Oh, of course not.
00:33:10I mean, you were the only one home, right?
00:33:13Who else could be to blame?
00:33:15It couldn't have been your poor, sickly father, was it?
00:33:20Risked his life to save your worthless ass.
00:33:24Gina, on the other hand, did you know she has experience at the fire academy?
00:33:29She volunteered to put out fires in college.
00:33:31When are you going to stop the lies?
00:33:34Don't talk back to me!
00:33:36Let's see what happens if you touch my girlfriend.
00:33:42Girlfriend?
00:33:44Yeah, right.
00:33:45I'm sorry.
00:33:48On behalf of my tyrant stepdaughter, her behavior is vehement and out of line.
00:33:54You'll recall, you broke up with her once upon a time.
00:33:58I am sure you will come to those same senses again.
00:34:02You know, I think that you burned the house down with a candle.
00:34:10Please stop!
00:34:11What?
00:34:12You're scared of a little thing like this?
00:34:13Candace, enough.
00:34:17You have always been so quiet and unforgiving of everything I did.
00:34:23Like I'm some evil person.
00:34:26But we both know the real answer.
00:34:29You're the evil that has crept into my life and ruined everything that I built.
00:34:35I don't hit women, but if you pull that shit again, I won't burn your fucking hopes down.
00:34:41Come on, Astrid.
00:34:43Let's go.
00:34:47Ah!
00:34:50Ah!
00:34:50That bitch!
00:34:56She humiliated me!
00:34:58Why does Ryder even want her?
00:34:59We'll fix this.
00:35:01We will take everything from her.
00:35:05Gina.
00:35:06Hold off on signing that marriage certificate with Brian.
00:35:11I've got a plan.
00:35:16Wait, you didn't think I could dance?
00:35:17No, I was just pleasantly surprised, is all.
00:35:25Well, thank you.
00:35:27For tonight.
00:35:31Astrid.
00:35:34Wait.
00:35:34Tell me what happened.
00:35:35There, um, there was a fire in my childhood home, and I was still inside when my dad got
00:35:50back, so he, um, raised his life to save mine, and he's been in and out of the hospital with
00:36:02a long failure ever since.
00:36:06That's not your fault.
00:36:11That is not your fault, Astrid.
00:36:16I promise I'll never let anyone hurt you ever again.
00:36:19Well, as long as I live and breathe, you should get some rest.
00:36:31Yeah.
00:36:33Good night, Claire.
00:36:36Sweet dreams.
00:36:37Gina is a very bright girl, but I don't think she's a great long-term fit for our company
00:36:47and its writer's wife.
00:36:49No, uh, I mean, uh, Gina is a bright girl.
00:36:53She has two doctorate degrees.
00:36:55She's volunteered at the local animal shelter.
00:36:58She even had an orphan recently asked if she would adopt her.
00:37:04Hmm.
00:37:06Well, I'll see what I can do to convince my son.
00:37:09That's wonderful.
00:37:10Wonderful.
00:37:11Thank you, Helen.
00:37:14Come, dear.
00:37:14You only get one chance at this, and we are going to make sure you do not mess it up.
00:37:30You are going to give him a bottle of wine and show him the time of his life.
00:37:36You got that?
00:37:38What's in the wine?
00:37:39You are a clever girl, Gina.
00:37:41An aphrodisiac.
00:37:45He won't be able to resist you.
00:37:47You can't fail.
00:37:49Come on, we have to get everything ready.
00:37:51You wanted to see me?
00:38:19Yes.
00:38:22All right, Smell.
00:38:24I have an interested prospect.
00:38:27You remember Astrid Marie?
00:38:28My ex.
00:38:29You want me to date Astrid?
00:38:31No.
00:38:32Her stepmother contacted me about you dating her daughter.
00:38:35You went to school with her.
00:38:36Her name's...
00:38:37Gina.
00:38:38Yes.
00:38:39Well, she does have a suitable background that would...
00:38:43Ryder.
00:38:44I refuse.
00:38:46Ryder.
00:38:46We both know you're lucky you made it this far.
00:38:51We can't keep putting these things off.
00:38:56Sounds amazing.
00:38:57I'll be there soon.
00:38:59Okay.
00:38:59Yes.
00:39:00Perfect.
00:39:03Okay.
00:39:05Oh, I'm so sorry.
00:39:07Please tell me these are the updated designs that you've been meaning to give me.
00:39:11Yes, I was just on my way to give them to you.
00:39:13Great.
00:39:14Well, let me see them when you're done fumbling like a fool on the ground.
00:39:16You really expect us to sell these?
00:39:32No, they're too expensive to make.
00:39:35No one's going to buy them.
00:39:36And, honey, they're ugly.
00:39:39Make more.
00:39:40And if you don't get this right, you will be fired, and you will never see another wedding dress for the rest of your useless, worthless, meaningless life.
00:39:47Are we clear?
00:39:48You have until noon tomorrow.
00:39:50I have a meeting with Ryder Van Woodson, and I want to show him the latest collection.
00:39:53So, can we do that?
00:39:54And make sure that they're cheap.
00:39:57Okay?
00:39:58Great.
00:39:59What hat?
00:40:16Oh, hey, Clyde.
00:40:18My boss didn't like any of my designs, so if I want to keep my job, same job that's been helping me support my dad, I need to get her an entirely new collection by tomorrow afternoon.
00:40:27These are really good.
00:40:28Really?
00:40:28Thanks.
00:40:30What is she looking for?
00:40:32Modern, sleek, and cheap.
00:40:34I guess that's what the infamous Ryder Van Woodson wants to sell these days.
00:40:37My work is a vendor for his company, so they make and sell the dresses we just designed them.
00:40:43What?
00:40:44Really?
00:40:45Yeah.
00:40:47She's making it work for the big man.
00:40:50My ex is my biggest client.
00:40:54He'll beat shit.
00:40:55That's fair.
00:41:03Could you be any more last minute?
00:41:05He's already in the building.
00:41:07Printer got to check.
00:41:08I said cheap.
00:41:15I don't know what about a three-tiered skirt and a layered bodice is cheap, but it's fine.
00:41:21We'll make it work.
00:41:22It'll do.
00:41:23You can go.
00:41:28I saw that on my desk.
00:41:29Yes.
00:41:30Right.
00:41:30This is cheap.
00:41:31Thank you, dear.
00:41:33You just got me my next promotion.
00:41:37Perfect.
00:41:37All right.
00:41:38I'm only going to be about 30 minutes max.
00:41:40I want you to take these to the CEO while I'm in my meeting with Fiona.
00:41:43You got it.
00:41:44If he has any questions about the proposal, just tell him I'll be up there shortly.
00:41:48Hey, Mr. Bossman.
00:41:49Your cover's about to be blown.
00:41:51Here she goes, here she goes, here she goes.
00:42:01Adam!
00:42:02What are you doing here?
00:42:05Clyde?
00:42:06Hi.
00:42:09Um.
00:42:12You know, my boss lent me his car for the day, and I hired Clyde here to drive me to my meeting.
00:42:18Which I'm going to go to now.
00:42:21Thanks, Clyde.
00:42:23Have a good meeting.
00:42:24You got another job?
00:42:26Yeah.
00:42:27Just, you know, driving during the day, and I'll bartend at night.
00:42:29A little extra side cash.
00:42:30Wow, that's great.
00:42:31You're busy.
00:42:33For a second, I thought you were Ryder Van Woodson.
00:42:34He's here today.
00:42:35You know?
00:42:36That'd be crazy if you guys ran into each other.
00:42:38That would be very interesting.
00:42:40I mean, do you think I could pass as a Mr. Ryder Van Woodson?
00:42:43I mean, maybe you could try.
00:42:44Hey, I've got to get these to Fiona before she fires me if it's not, like, negative 60 seconds,
00:42:48so I'll see you later.
00:42:48But, um, will we marathon?
00:42:51Time?
00:42:52Yeah, that sounds great.
00:43:08Mr. Van Woodson.
00:43:09Fiona.
00:43:09Good afternoon, everyone.
00:43:15So, I hear you had some new ideas you wanted to share with me and my company.
00:43:19Yes, I had some new product ideas that I think are going to drive so much in sales,
00:43:22and you get 30% of the gross profit.
00:43:25This is a new and sleek collection that I'm debuting this season.
00:43:28I call it God-dress apparel, like, goddess.
00:43:40These are really good.
00:43:43You designed all of these.
00:43:44Oh, yes.
00:43:45This is all my original work.
00:43:46I worked very hard this quarter, so.
00:43:50Really?
00:43:51Yes.
00:43:53Well, then, uh, care to explain who Astrid Marie is?
00:44:01Astrid?
00:44:01Yes, of course.
00:44:02Um, uh, that is, um, that's a pen name.
00:44:10A pen name?
00:44:11Yes, Mr. Van Woodson.
00:44:12And you know artists use pen names, so.
00:44:14Well, Fiona Lynn, unfortunately for you, I dated an Astrid Marie once,
00:44:24and I just happen to know that she works at this company under your direct management.
00:44:28So, are you going to give credit where credit is due,
00:44:33or am I going to have to report you for attempted plagiarism?
00:44:35And then my boss just walked out of her meeting,
00:44:46not a glance in my direction,
00:44:48she packed up all of her stuff and left,
00:44:49and then an hour later, I get an email saying that I'm offered her position,
00:44:53and that my designs were the top pick for writer's company.
00:44:57So, you think you're going to take it?
00:44:59I mean, maybe.
00:45:01It's a pay raise, so it's a good deal.
00:45:03Also, I wanted to thank you for being very supportive
00:45:08with all of the explosion of chaos that I dumped on you.
00:45:12I really needed the encouragement, so.
00:45:18You're welcome.
00:45:21Happy to help.
00:45:22How did you know
00:45:30that pink tulip was my favorite flower?
00:45:34What flower?
00:45:36The flower that you left yesterday with the note at breakfast?
00:45:41I mean, that wasn't a guess, was it?
00:45:44I just...
00:45:45I saw it and I thought of you.
00:45:47You like pink tulips?
00:45:51I do.
00:45:53You know, I did.
00:46:11I saw it.
00:46:12Astrid is going to regret messing with us.
00:46:29Definitely.
00:46:32They both are.
00:46:42Hi, Ryder.
00:46:49I have something for you.
00:46:59An apology.
00:47:01An apology?
00:47:03You are going to need to be much more specific while you're in my office,
00:47:07if that's all you have for an apology.
00:47:09Showing your face to me again.
00:47:11I know that I can be a pain sometimes.
00:47:14And I recognize that.
00:47:16And you know, I really don't want to be on bad terms with you, Ryder.
00:47:22So please, if you'd accept this as a token, just one glass.
00:47:30I'm really sorry.
00:47:33Truly.
00:47:37Is that all?
00:47:39Was there something else you wanted me to say?
00:47:43Yes.
00:47:44I want you to apologize to your sister.
00:47:47She's the one that deserves it.
00:47:50Done.
00:47:55Here's your drink.
00:47:57And I'll go now.
00:47:58I'm really sorry, Ryder.
00:48:05I'm really sorry, Ryder.
00:48:15Psycho.
00:48:16Actually.
00:48:34There's something else that I wanted to talk to you about.
00:48:37Is it true what you said to me about not liking Mimi in high school?
00:48:44Yes, I have never had any interest in you.
00:48:47Why?
00:48:49Why are you still here?
00:48:51I guess I just want to understand.
00:48:54What does Astrid have that I don't?
00:48:57Well, she doesn't resort to sabotage her violence to get the thing she wants.
00:49:01Now, if you will excuse me.
00:49:03What, so you like, um, sweet and innocent?
00:49:06Why not fun and experience?
00:49:11Adam, come in here, please.
00:49:13What?
00:49:15So you don't feel anything?
00:49:18Nothing?
00:49:21I feel nothing towards you, Gina.
00:49:25Adam!
00:49:36What was that all about?
00:49:42Nothing, God.
00:49:45I'm gonna head home for the evening.
00:49:47You feel free to leave early as well.
00:49:49Alright.
00:49:53Goodnight.
00:49:54Goodnight, Adam.
00:49:55Your stepmother is a piece of work.
00:50:10I find it miraculous that she's trying to blame you for what happened.
00:50:14I know you didn't start that fire.
00:50:21On a lighter note, all of your debt was paid off by a mystery donor.
00:50:24And I got a promotion at work.
00:50:27This is wonderful news, sweetheart.
00:50:29So I think I'm gonna have enough to buy as a place soon.
00:50:32I just need to save a little bit more.
00:50:34Sweetheart, don't worry about me.
00:50:36You look out for you first.
00:50:38I am.
00:50:39I have been.
00:50:41And...
00:50:42And?
00:50:44I like someone.
00:50:46His name is Clyde, but we live together.
00:50:48So I feel like it's not practical to have a crush on someone that you live with, right?
00:50:52No.
00:50:53But I could think of worse things to be in trouble over than living with someone you care about.
00:51:01Yeah.
00:51:18Hi.
00:51:19Are you alright?
00:51:20I think...
00:51:21I think Gina chugged me.
00:51:25What?
00:51:26Did she overdose?
00:51:27You were okay?
00:51:28Do I need to call someone?
00:51:29I don't know.
00:51:32That was so beautiful, Asher.
00:51:34Right now there's nothing I can see and the only thing I want to see.
00:51:39Clyde.
00:51:43I want you.
00:51:45I've wanted you for so long.
00:51:46Clyde?
00:51:47I have wanted you.
00:51:49Clyde?
00:51:50How do I help?
00:51:51Who do I call?
00:51:52I'm sorry.
00:51:53I can't thank whatever Gina gave me.
00:51:56I want to kiss you again, but I'm afraid I can't.
00:51:59Okay.
00:52:00Hospital.
00:52:01Okay.
00:52:02I need a shift.
00:52:03Okay.
00:52:04Clyde?
00:52:05I'm gonna call an ambulance.
00:52:06How did it go?
00:52:07How did it go?
00:52:11He wasn't affected by it.
00:52:12One sip should have been enough for it to work.
00:52:14What do you mean?
00:52:15It didn't work?
00:52:16No.
00:52:17So he didn't sleep with you?
00:52:18No, the concoction didn't work.
00:52:19The aphrodisiac.
00:52:20That can't be right.
00:52:22We put plenty of it in.
00:52:23Ugh.
00:52:24More than plenty.
00:52:26It should have worked just fine.
00:52:30Drink.
00:52:31Me?
00:52:32Drink.
00:52:33You drink it.
00:52:34Oh, I am not the one who failed to sleep with Ryder.
00:52:36Now drink it.
00:52:37All of it.
00:52:42Go.
00:52:43Go.
00:52:44Go.
00:52:45Go.
00:52:47Anything?
00:52:50Oh God.
00:52:52That acts first.
00:52:58So he was just straight up repulsed by you.
00:53:02Or he has a slow metabolism.
00:53:07I guess the only way to get Astrid out of the picture now is to take her out entirely.
00:53:34Oh my God.
00:53:37I thought Tina killed you.
00:53:41I'm alright.
00:53:44It was an aphrodisiac.
00:53:46I just had a bad reaction to it because of my tumor.
00:53:49My metabolism.
00:53:52I'll be completely better by tomorrow.
00:53:54I just need to drink a lot of water and sleep it off.
00:53:56Any changes come back.
00:53:58I'm sorry to scare you.
00:53:59I'm sorry to scare you.
00:54:04Who are you looking at?
00:54:07You?
00:54:10You waited here.
00:54:11All night.
00:54:13Of course I waited.
00:54:14I was worried.
00:54:15I was worried.
00:54:17Alright.
00:54:18Well let's get you home then.
00:54:26Oh my God.
00:54:27You look terrible.
00:54:28I was up all night.
00:54:29Gina drugged me.
00:54:30What?
00:54:31It slipped me an aphrodisiac.
00:54:32I was in the hospital.
00:54:33Oh my God.
00:54:34Are you alright?
00:54:35I mean it didn't hit me until I was home thankfully.
00:54:38But it did aggravate the tumor.
00:54:40Oh my God.
00:54:41Did you file a report?
00:54:42The police need to know about this.
00:54:43What kind of person does that?
00:54:44I did.
00:54:46She'll be in custody by the end of the day.
00:54:48Mom you have to listen to me right now.
00:54:49Please.
00:54:51No.
00:54:52More.
00:54:53Blind.
00:54:54Dates.
00:54:55I mean it.
00:54:56Ryder.
00:54:57You being in your condition.
00:54:59You're not capable of having long lasting love.
00:55:02We have to do what's right for the business.
00:55:04It's about the business.
00:55:06If you set me up with another woman.
00:55:08I will step down for my position as CEO.
00:55:14Honey.
00:55:15You don't mean that.
00:55:16Don't die.
00:55:19Ryder.
00:55:20We have to find someone suitable to help you run the business.
00:55:24It's a wedding business.
00:55:26Okay.
00:55:27We have to show that marriage is a good thing.
00:55:28I know it sounds stupid.
00:55:30But we have to think about the company image.
00:55:33I don't care about the company image mom.
00:55:37What about me?
00:55:38What about what I want?
00:55:42What if I want to live alone and spend the rest of my life away from all of this?
00:55:46Give everything to the one woman I've ever loved before I leave.
00:55:49At least then she can get something from all the pain that I've caused her.
00:55:52Being what I am.
00:55:54Honey.
00:55:55You are not your condition.
00:55:56Mom.
00:55:57I can't even hold memories now.
00:55:58I can't find real love because of this thing that's grinding away at me.
00:56:12You are right.
00:56:14So I'd rather spend the remaining time that I have happy and enjoying myself than spend another second playing pretend with someone I don't even know.
00:56:29Mom.
00:56:31I already have someone.
00:56:36They can't have me.
00:56:38But they are my person.
00:56:44Mom.
00:56:45I would really, really appreciate it if you stop acting like I'm already gone.
00:56:50Because like it or not.
00:56:51I'm still here.
00:57:07Hi.
00:57:08How's your day?
00:57:09I'm sorry.
00:57:23Why are you hiding from me?
00:57:26That's the only thing I know how to do.
00:57:27That's all I can do.
00:57:28That's the problem.
00:57:32You don't have to hide from me.
00:57:34Always.

01:06:361850 South.
01:06:37Count, please.
01:06:38Yeah, that's right.
01:06:40That's my stepmom.
01:06:42Wow.
01:06:44Typical.
01:06:47You promised me one million dollars.
01:06:51Pay up.
01:06:52Yeah, I'll pay you when you get out of prison, which is hopefully never.
01:06:55That's not very unprofessional of you, you twat.
01:06:58Get off of me.
01:06:59Get off of me.
01:07:00Hey, Asher, are you okay?
01:07:10Hey, are you okay?
01:07:11Let's get you home.
01:07:12Adam and I will talk to the police.
01:07:16Clyde?
01:07:17Yeah.
01:07:19You were here for the meeting today?
01:07:21Yeah.
01:07:32Yeah.
01:07:34You lied to me.
01:07:40This whole time...
01:07:42Listen to me.
01:07:42Oh my God!
01:07:43How could I not have seen this?
01:07:46I am so stupid!
01:07:48It was you.
01:07:50Right?
01:07:52You were the one that paid off all my gas debt.
01:07:58And you were the one that fired Fiona so that I would get promoted?
01:08:02And the flower and the apartment...
01:08:04Was that apartment even yours or was that a lie too?
01:08:06Listen, I was going to explain everything to you.
01:08:08Okay, just spare me any more lies.
01:08:11I trusted you.
01:08:15You're my ex, Ryder.
01:08:18My ex.
01:08:19You broke my heart.
01:08:22And then you wiggle your way back into my life for what?
01:08:25Some sick, twisted game?
01:08:27Some fantasy that you didn't get to fulfill?
01:08:30No.
01:08:30I'm not a toy, Ryder.
01:08:32I'm a person.
01:08:33No.
01:08:33With feelings.
01:08:35And you don't get to come in here and manipulate me just because you have the power to.
01:08:38Listen, I just wanted you to be happy.
01:08:40That's all I've ever wanted for you, Astrid.
01:08:42Yeah.
01:08:43Manipulating me and lying behind my back?
01:08:45That was thrilling for me, Ryder.
01:08:49No, no.
01:08:50Don't touch me.
01:08:51Don't touch me.
01:09:00Dad, she sent hitmen after me.
01:09:04This woman is psychotic.
01:09:05She tried to kill me.
01:09:07And then Ryder showed up, but Clyde is Ryder, which I feel so dumb for not seeing literally
01:09:12the moment that I saw him.
01:09:14And I'm just angry.
01:09:16Like, so angry.
01:09:17And Adam knew this whole time he's been working for Ryder and he didn't tell me.
01:09:22Wow.
01:09:23That's a lot.
01:09:25Oh.
01:09:26Yeah.
01:09:26What are you, what are you thinking?
01:09:35How do you feel?
01:09:37I don't know.
01:09:40Confused, I guess.
01:09:42Like, why would Ryder break up with me just to come back into my life under a different
01:09:46name?
01:09:46That makes no sense.
01:09:48Would talking to Adam maybe provide you a little insight, maybe?
01:09:52I guess.
01:09:53But I'm mad at him.
01:09:55He was been working for Ryder this whole time and didn't tell me he knew.
01:09:59He may have a perfectly sound explanation.
01:10:02But if not, then leave.
01:10:04Find another nice place elsewhere.
01:10:08Yeah, I guess.
01:10:11Thanks, Jeff.
01:10:13I think I'm going to come back here tonight if that's okay.
01:10:16I don't think I'll be going home.
01:10:19You're always welcome in my house.
01:10:22Thanks.
01:10:22Thanks.
01:10:22Thanks.
01:10:25Hey, yeah.
01:10:33I was wondering if you could look into something for me, please.
01:10:37Can you look up a Candace Margaret Diane?
01:10:44About your inquiry the other day, Mr. Van Woodson, Candace Margaret Diane does not exist.
01:10:48What?
01:10:49We did find out some other information for you.
01:10:51No.
01:10:51Are you serious?
01:10:55Oh.
01:10:55What was I just doing?
01:11:07What was I doing?
01:11:09Hey, Adam, can you come in here, please?
01:11:21Yeah.
01:11:24Can you just briefly in my last few meetings today?
01:11:29Ryder, you okay?
01:11:29I think I'm just a little overworked.
01:11:34Ryder, you just got into the office.
01:11:39I did.
01:11:40About three in the afternoon.
01:11:42Well, with the thing with Astrid?
01:11:45Astrid.
01:11:45Okay, I think maybe we're going to get you to the doctor.
01:11:49Something's not right with you.
01:11:53Hey, Ryder.
01:11:53We've got to go to our next meeting now.
01:11:56What?
01:11:58Ryder, what's going on?
01:12:00Ma'am, Ryder's confused.
01:12:01He hasn't remembered any of his morning.
01:12:04It's okay.
01:12:05What's going on?
01:12:06What's going on, Ryder?
01:12:07I don't know anything.
01:12:10Hey.
01:12:11Come on, Ryder.
01:12:12Okay, okay.
01:12:13He's having an episode.
01:12:16We need to go to the ER now.
01:12:18Now.
01:12:19Call them now.
01:12:21Hang on.
01:12:22Hang on, Ryder.
01:12:23I'm going to be all right.
01:12:24Okay.
01:12:25Hang on.
01:12:26Hang on.
01:12:28Helen, what's happening to Ryder?
01:12:30He hasn't been taking his medication.
01:12:33Come on.
01:12:35Hurry.
01:12:36Adam?
01:12:42What are you doing here?
01:12:43Astrid, hey.
01:12:45Did you come back for Ryder?
01:12:47But, no, I was visiting my dad.
01:12:49Is Ryder here?
01:12:51Did he follow me here?
01:12:53Oh.
01:12:54Oh?
01:12:56Oh, Adam?
01:12:57I need answers from you.
01:12:58Why is Ryder at the hospital?
01:13:01Astrid, he didn't...
01:13:03Okay, so what's going on?
01:13:05Ryder's been put in a medically induced coma.
01:13:12He's going into surgery.
01:13:14What?
01:13:15Why?
01:13:16He has a brain tumor, Astrid.
01:13:25He has a brain tumor, Astrid.
01:13:26We didn't realize it until he was about to graduate high school, around the same time that you two broke up.
01:13:37But his brain functioning has been affecting him since he was 13 years old, memory loss, headaches, confusion, slow metabolism, medication problems, seizures.
01:13:52It's just been so awful.
01:13:55Oh my god.
01:13:57So that's why he had a brain tumor?
01:14:02He hasn't been capable of any long-term relationships.
01:14:09But...
01:14:11He loved you, Astrid.
01:14:17He still does.
01:14:22Will you wait for him?
01:14:27Will he wait till he wakes up?
01:14:31Sure.
01:14:32When or if he wakes up?
01:14:35I'm sure he would love to see you.
01:14:39Yeah.
01:14:41Yeah, I'll be right here.
01:14:44Okay.
01:14:45Thank you so much for being here.
01:14:49I'm sorry, Red, for not telling you about Ryder, about him pretending to be Clyde and trying to get close to you.
01:15:07I was the one that instigated the roommate living situation.
01:15:12Fuck you, Adam.
01:15:17You should have told me.
01:15:30Do you know why he did it?
01:15:33Why he lied?
01:15:34I don't understand why you didn't just tell me.
01:15:36I could give you my best guess, but...
01:15:40I don't have the answer to that, either.
01:15:46You'll have to ask him when he's out of surgery.
01:15:50If he's out of surgery?
01:15:52When?
01:15:56Have faith.
01:16:01I need to know about surgery.
01:16:10Ryder.
01:16:13Honey, it's mommy.
01:16:16It's mommy, I'm here.
01:16:19I don't think I really believed it until right now.
01:16:21I'm so sorry for being so angry at you.
01:16:34I don't understand why you lied to me, but at this point it really doesn't matter.
01:16:45Just please come back.
01:16:48Ryder.
01:16:49I think I'm going to see my dad really quick, he's just down the hall.
01:17:05Will you call me if I need anything?
01:17:07You're okay, sweetheart.
01:17:08Thanks for being here.
01:17:09Of course.
01:17:14I'm sorry.
01:17:17I'm sorry, you're just down the hall.
01:17:19I'll see you again.
01:17:20I'll see you again.
01:17:21I know it's better.
01:17:23I'll see you again.
01:17:24Come here, come here, come here.
01:17:27Come here, come here, come here.
01:17:28Come here, come here.
01:17:29Good!
01:17:38You're finally awake!
01:17:44What do you want?
01:17:47God, you're useless!
01:17:49You're just a waste of space!
01:17:52I've been trying to tell you for years to stay out of my way.
01:17:58And what do you consistently do? You get in my way!
01:18:04You got Gina, my only chance at Ryder's fortune, injuring my family in jail!
01:18:15It was you!
01:18:17You were the one that started the fire!
01:18:22Hey.
01:18:23You wanna go get something to eat?
01:18:26Okay.
01:18:40How is your boyfriend doing?
01:18:42I hear he has a little issue with his brain. A pesky little tumor, right?
01:18:48How did you know that?
01:18:50I have friends.
01:18:51Sure would be a shame if someone were to leak that the grand billionaire CEO of Van Woodsen fortune has been sick this entire time?
01:19:00Oh, what would that do to his business?
01:19:04What do you want?
01:19:06I get what I've always wanted.
01:19:10What you and your father could never give me, as much as I forced you both!
01:19:16Forced us?
01:19:18Ha!
01:19:19Who do you think introduced you to Ryder, sweetheart?
01:19:24That wasn't a chance meeting. I orchestrated it.
01:19:27Hoping that you or Gina would be smart enough to latch onto him.
01:19:32And all you had to do was keep him around.
01:19:35But you were so worthless he couldn't even stand to stay with you.
01:19:40But something changed.
01:19:42He came back to you.
01:19:44My luck changed!
01:19:46You've been after Ryder's business this whole time?
01:19:49I know potential when I see it.
01:19:52And you don't have it.
01:19:54So you set my house on fire to kill me?
01:19:58I always get what I want, don't I?
01:20:01Now, you are going to marry Ryder and give me the business ships.
01:20:08Or his business goes up in flames.
01:20:12Because if I can't have it, no one can.
01:20:25They know what they're doing.
01:20:26They know what they're doing.
01:20:27They'll give him what he needs.
01:20:29What the fuck?
01:20:32You're a psycho!
01:20:34And you're dead.
01:20:38So what's it gonna be, dear daughter?
01:20:42This should be an easy decision.
01:20:46You get to spend your life with the man of your dreams!
01:20:50Well, until he dies of cancer.
01:20:55Give me the money and the revenue!
01:20:59Or you die the way you were supposed to anyway.
01:21:02No.
01:21:04No.
01:21:08No.
01:21:10No!
01:21:11I would rather die than betray Ryder.
01:21:14He doesn't deserve it.
01:21:15I won't let you!
01:21:17Ah!
01:21:19Are you okay?
01:21:21Yeah?
01:21:23What the fuck?
01:21:25Why are you here?
01:21:27How are you?
01:21:28Phyllis Gray, you are wanted for murder and now attempted murder.
01:21:30How did you?
01:21:31I put the pieces together when you threatened Astrid at Gina's wedding.
01:21:33I hired a PI to look into you.
01:21:35That's your real name, isn't it?
01:21:36You're a sick woman jumping from family to family, destroying them from the inside out,
01:21:40just to get a little side cash.
01:21:42You have quite the record of fires starting in your homes.
01:21:44I did what I had to!
01:21:46To survive!
01:21:47It's me and Gina against the world!
01:21:50What's a mother to do?
01:21:53I didn't have just killed you when you were young and I had the chance!
01:21:57You know, when you married my dad, I really thought we were going to be a family.
01:22:02Now I know how wrong I was.
01:22:07Wait!
01:22:08Wait!
01:22:09No!
01:22:10No!
01:22:11We could come to some sort of an agreement!
01:22:12We don't ever have to see one another again!
01:22:15Please.
01:22:16Have fun in jail.
01:22:21Oh no!
01:22:29Ryder, we are ready for your surgery.
01:22:39See you guys on the other side, huh?
01:22:42I love you.
01:22:45I love you.
01:22:48I'll see you guys soon.
01:22:51But I need a moment to talk with Astra.
01:23:01We can talk when your surgery's over.
01:23:02You know I might not make it back.
01:23:03You know I might not make it back.
01:23:08I owe you an explanation.
01:23:12I broke up with you because I didn't want you to be with a man who's going to be sick.
01:23:19Someone who would forget things half the time.
01:23:23Someone you'd have to support and take care of.
01:23:25Someone who would slowly lose themselves.
01:23:28I just...
01:23:30I didn't want that for you, Astrid.
01:23:32And then I saw you again and I thought, you know, one conversation canter.
01:23:43One more chance to help you fight and feel better.
01:23:46One more chance to hear your voice.
01:23:50One more chance to be around you.
01:23:54And then I heard about you needing a place to stay and your financial struggles and I thought,
01:24:03Well if I could help you while I still can.
01:24:09Maybe that's a way I could be with you.
01:24:12Without actually being with you.
01:24:17Then if I died, if this disease took me at the very least, I could die happy knowing that you were taken care of.
01:24:23Then I could just spend my last few days with you.
01:24:27I know it was selfish for me.
01:24:33But I don't regret it.
01:24:38Every second with you is giving me one more chance to hold on a little longer.
01:24:43You're not going anywhere.
01:24:48Astrid.
01:24:52I've never loved anyone else.
01:24:54And you are it.
01:24:55And I'm so sorry for lying to you.
01:24:59I am.
01:25:05But I don't regret it.
01:25:07Not one second.
01:25:09I'd do it all over again.
01:25:20I'm so sorry for lying to you.
01:25:22I love you.
01:25:36I love you, sweetheart.
01:25:38Me too, dad.
01:25:39I wish Ryder were here to see it.
01:25:53Who said I wasn't coming?
01:25:55Ryder! What are you doing here?
01:25:57I'm going to miss this for the world, business trippy Dan.
01:25:59I was actually wondering if I could steal her for a little bit.
01:26:03Sure, sure. Don't let me get in your way.
01:26:06I have something to show you out back.
01:26:08Okay.
01:26:09Astrid, there's not been a single day since I've met you that I've not thought about you.
01:26:18My love and adoration for you continues to be a shining light I hope I will always be able to see.
01:26:24Astrid, meeting you has been nothing short of divine, destiny, fate, or I wish upon a star would be you that I see looking back at me.
01:26:38Astrid, will you marry me?
01:26:43Will you marry me?
01:26:44Yes!
