00:00:00Previously on Desperate Housewives
00:00:04I don't know, I just met with you.
00:00:05I've got a fantastic health plan.
00:00:07You'll be covered instantly.
00:00:08Susan got an offer she couldn't afford to refuse.
00:00:11You've had too much to drink.
00:00:13Give me your keys.
00:00:14Brie rejected a helping hand.
00:00:16I want to have a baby with you.
00:00:18Gabby gave Carlos the answer he'd been waiting for.
00:00:21You're my second AB negative today.
00:00:22Uh, who was it?
00:00:23That guy.
00:00:24And Zach began to put A and B together.
00:00:30Susan Meyer had always believed the punishment should fit the crime.
00:00:37She first came to this conclusion when she discovered her husband Carl had been unfaithful.
00:00:43Since Carl had destroyed the love she had given him.
00:00:51Susan felt it was only appropriate she destroy the things he loved in return.
00:00:57One by one.
00:01:03But now, three years after their divorce, Susan was reunited with Carl once again.
00:01:08Susan, are you listening to me?
00:01:10As partners in a crime of their own.
00:01:13This is insurance.
00:01:14We could both go to jail.
00:01:15And we can't tell anyone we're getting married.
00:01:17I know.
00:01:18I was listening to you.
00:01:20Now, the prenup's all set.
00:01:22Sign it at the courthouse.
00:01:2311.30 Wednesday morning, right?
00:01:24Right.
00:01:24And your surgery's still on for Thursday?
00:01:26Yep.
00:01:27Good.
00:01:27The insurance kicks in the minute we say I do.
00:01:30You're set to go.
00:01:31I know no one's asking me, but I think this whole thing is a tragic mistake.
00:01:35And I just don't have it in me to survive another ugly divorce.
00:01:38Don't worry, honey.
00:01:39This time it is strictly a business arrangement.
00:01:41It better be, because if I see so much as one lingering gaze between the two of you,
00:01:44I swear I'll go to the insurance company and turn you in.
00:01:47So we shouldn't expect a wedding gift, huh?
00:01:50Oh, can you grab me your wedding ring?
00:01:52I want to get it cleaned before the ceremony.
00:01:55Uh, is that really necessary?
00:01:58I mean, do we have to do the whole ring thing?
00:02:00Of course we do.
00:02:01It's got to look believable.
00:02:04Yeah, okay.
00:02:04Well, I'll just grab something out of my jewelry box.
00:02:07Susan, that ring was my grandmother's.
00:02:09One day it's going to be Julie's.
00:02:11Where is it?
00:02:13I don't know.
00:02:15Exactly.
00:02:16That was a family heirloom.
00:02:17I trusted you with it.
00:02:19Well, I trusted you not to cheat on me and break my heart.
00:02:21Oh, my God.
00:02:22Oh, my God.
00:02:23What did you do with it?
00:02:24I threw it out my car window somewhere on Route 7.
00:02:28What?
00:02:28When?
00:02:29The night you abandoned me.
00:02:31Suze!
00:02:31Carl, you are so not allowed to get angry.
00:02:34I mean, I might have been the one to throw away the wedding ring,
00:02:36but you threw away the whole marriage.
00:02:38Hey, there was plenty of bad behavior that went on back then,
00:02:40so just get off your high horse.
00:02:42We're on the same page now, so we should just focus on that.
00:02:45Yes, Suze and Meyer believed the punishment should fit the crime.
00:02:56Carl, I think there might be snakes in here.
00:02:59We're not leaving here until you find that ring.
00:03:01It was a tradition at Leonardo's Bar and Grill.
00:03:21An hour before closing time,
00:03:23a waiter would sing a selection of ridiculously depressing Italian arias.
00:03:28It was also a tradition that the only customers who would actually listen
00:03:32were the ones already depressed to begin with.
00:03:41Tony, did you have to rush off?
00:03:44I thought maybe we could just chat for a minute.
00:03:47So I haven't seen you in a while.
00:03:51Well, I didn't want to come here because I was afraid it would dredge up memories of my husband.
00:03:56You know, this was our place.
00:03:58Rex passed away recently.
00:04:01He was, um, murdered by our pharmacist.
00:04:05Wow.
00:04:06I hope you changed pharmacist.
00:04:10No, he didn't have to.
00:04:11He committed suicide.
00:04:14Look, you've had a little too much wine tonight.
00:04:16How about I call you a cab?
00:04:17Oh, no, no, no.
00:04:18I'm okay.
00:04:19Your car would be safe in our lot, and you can pick it up tomorrow.
00:04:23Please.
00:04:25Well, okay.
00:04:29Tony, how many more arias is he going to sing?
00:04:33Five.
00:04:33Well, in that case, why don't you bring me another bottle of the Pinot Crucio?
00:04:40And please hurry.
00:04:41Please.
00:04:42I'll be right back.
00:05:01Brie?
00:05:26Brie?
00:05:29You okay?
00:05:38Yes?
00:05:39Hi, did you know your mother is asleep on the lawn?
00:05:46Oh, wow.
00:05:49Yeah, well, you don't seem terribly shocked.
00:05:51Oh, it's just mom drinks and sometimes she sleeps it off in the weirdest places.
00:05:57Can I help you with her?
00:05:59No, no, that's okay.
00:06:01I know how to take care of her.
00:06:03Well, good luck to you then.
00:06:05Good luck to you then.
00:06:15Ah!
00:06:16Ah!
00:06:17Ah!
00:06:18I'm coming.
00:06:19Hi.
00:06:20Hi.
00:06:21Your kids, do they have any allergies I should know about?
00:06:23Uh, not that I know of.
00:06:24Why?
00:06:25Because I'm watching them.
00:06:26Tom called, said you both got pulled into work for the weekend, asked me to babysit.
00:06:30Really?
00:06:31I thought it'd be nice if I gave them back to you alive.
00:06:33Oh!
00:06:34Oh!
00:06:35Oh, hey, Ms. McClosey.
00:06:36Sorry, I forgot to tell you.
00:06:37Oh, that's okay.
00:06:38Um, would you excuse me just for a second?
00:06:39I have a thing.
00:06:40Here.
00:06:41Thanks.
00:06:42Follow me.
00:06:43You're part of the thing.
00:06:44A million teenagers in this neighborhood and you hire McCluskey?
00:06:47What's the big deal?
00:06:48Well, for starters, she's ancient.
00:06:50This is a thin door.
00:06:51It was not that long ago that you hired McCluskey.
00:06:53I was not the only one who hired McCluskey.
00:06:55Why?
00:06:56Really?
00:06:57I thought it'd be nice if I gave them back to you alive.
00:06:58Oh, hey, Ms. McCluskey, sorry, I forgot to tell you.
00:07:00Oh, that's okay.
00:07:01Um...
00:07:02Would you excuse me just for a second?
00:07:03I have a...
00:07:04Thing.
00:07:05Here.
00:07:06Thanks.
00:07:07Follow me.
00:07:08You're part of the thing.
00:07:09A million teenagers in this neighborhood and you hire McCluskey?
00:07:11What's the big deal?
00:07:12Well, for starters, she's ancient!
00:07:13It was not that long ago that she keeled over in her front yard.
00:07:16A day with our kids will finish the job.
00:07:18It's only for a few hours.
00:07:20Plus, Parker's on a playdate with the Farrells,
00:07:21so it's just the twins and Penny.
00:07:23Just the twins and Penny?
00:07:26Okay, that was stupid.
00:07:28Let me try it another way.
00:07:30We have to be at work in one hour.
00:07:31There's no daycare on the weekends,
00:07:33so you cut McCluskey loose.
00:07:34We're stuck.
00:07:36We will find someone.
00:07:38Someone who doesn't remember what they were doing
00:07:40the day Lincoln was shot.
00:07:43Fine.
00:07:44Let's go break the news.
00:07:46My wife has something to tell you.
00:07:51So, here's the deal.
00:07:53There was a little miscommunication,
00:07:55and as it turns out, we don't need you.
00:07:58Okay.
00:07:59Fine.
00:08:00I'll just go back home.
00:08:01Okay, sorry.
00:08:03By the way, your husband was right.
00:08:06It's a thin door.
00:08:07Carlos, what are you doing?
00:08:30Hello, Gabriela.
00:08:36Oh.
00:08:37Hi, Mom.
00:08:42I just told Carlos I just had to take a shower.
00:08:45The man next to me on the plane weighed 300 pounds,
00:08:48and he sweated all over me.
00:08:49It was so gross.
00:08:50You know, I'm just surprised you're here.
00:08:53It's Valentine's Day.
00:08:54Don't you and Mr. Hedge Fund have plans?
00:08:57I know Carlos and I do.
00:08:58You know?
00:08:59I left Charles.
00:09:01What?
00:09:02Mm-hmm.
00:09:02He was worth like six million dollars.
00:09:04Money is not everything, Gabriela.
00:09:06For some people.
00:09:07But we're talking about you now, Mother.
00:09:09You know, I can't believe this.
00:09:10I mean, I just went through a terrible breakup,
00:09:12and the least you could do is pretend to care.
00:09:15Well, of course we feel awful about it, don't we, Gabriel?
00:09:20Yeah, we're just sick about it.
00:09:21Well, don't worry about me.
00:09:23Mm-hmm.
00:09:23I'll be okay.
00:09:25In fact, I bought myself a little gift
00:09:28to take my mind off my problems.
00:09:30Really, what did you buy?
00:09:32New gloves.
00:09:33Whoa.
00:09:34No peeking, Carlos.
00:09:35Hey, Mom, put these away.
00:09:37My plastic surgeon gave me a great deal.
00:09:39Aren't they fun?
00:09:42My Carlos.
00:09:47What?
00:09:48I think she's charming.
00:09:50Okay.
00:09:51You can think she's charming,
00:09:52but don't forget for one second that she is a monster.
00:09:59Did you get the gum out from under the diamond?
00:10:01Mostly.
00:10:03Morning.
00:10:04Hi.
00:10:05Happy Valentine's Day.
00:10:06Dr. Ron, did you spend the night?
00:10:10Well, I got kind of tired after the movie, so I asked...
00:10:13It's okay.
00:10:14She knows that you make house calls.
00:10:15Oh.
00:10:16So listen, I got surgery till six.
00:10:18I'll get dressed and I'll pick you up at about seven.
00:10:20We have reservations at Shay and Naomi.
00:10:22Great.
00:10:22I'll have a light lunch.
00:10:23And also, Dr. Cunningham's schedule opened up,
00:10:25so if you'd like, we can move up your surgery to Wednesday.
00:10:28Oh, I have a wedding that day.
00:10:30On a Wednesday?
00:10:31Uh, yeah.
00:10:33Wednesdays are becoming very popular with brides.
00:10:37It's like the new Saturday.
00:10:39Oh.
00:10:40Okay.
00:10:41Well, I'll see you tonight.
00:10:43Your mother is a rotten, sneaky person.
00:10:51Look, I'm not too crazy about this whole fake marriage thing,
00:10:55but if you don't have that operation, you could die.
00:10:58So don't be so hard on yourself.
00:11:01You are a good person.
00:11:03Thanks, hon.
00:11:04That really helps.
00:11:06Okay.
00:11:07Now I want you to go over and slip this ring to your father.
00:11:09And just so you know, if Edie catches you,
00:11:11I'm expecting you to swallow it.
00:11:17How's the hangover?
00:11:20I do not have a hangover, Andrew, because I was not drunk.
00:11:25And, uh, how about a little hair of the dog?
00:11:29Perk you right up.
00:11:31Look, for the record,
00:11:32I had an allergic reaction to my antihistamine medication,
00:11:36so I would appreciate just a little bit of sympathy.
00:11:39Why can't you just drink alone in your room like Tammy's mom?
00:11:42For God's sakes, it was an honest mistake.
00:11:44I thought I could have just a little bit of wine with dinner,
00:11:46but apparently my body couldn't handle it.
00:11:53Fine.
00:11:55If it makes everybody happy,
00:11:56I will just suffer through my sneezing fits in my hives on my own.
00:12:01There.
00:12:02Is that better?
00:12:03So, basically, you would rather drink than to not have allergies?
00:12:06Yes.
00:12:09Hi, is now about time?
00:12:14I could really use a favor.
00:12:23She was beautiful, wasn't she?
00:12:25Yeah.
00:12:28Come on, sit down.
00:12:29Your breakfast is getting cold.
00:12:30Is my real mother beautiful?
00:12:42Well, she was, uh, attractive, as I recall.
00:12:47Do I look like her?
00:12:50I don't know.
00:12:51I only met her once.
00:12:53Oh.
00:12:53Well, because if I don't look like her,
00:12:55then I might look like my real dad.
00:13:00I'm getting real tired of your morbid fascination
00:13:02with two strangers who didn't love you enough to keep you.
00:13:06So, please, stop asking about them.
00:13:11It's only natural that I'd want to talk about my birth parents.
00:13:14Well, it may be natural, but it certainly isn't polite.
00:13:23And once your daughter was dead, they had to get rid of her somehow.
00:13:27That's where the toy chest came in.
00:13:29Flash forward 15 years.
00:13:31Chest washes up on the shore of Rockwater Lake.
00:13:34Any forensic evidence is long gone.
00:13:37The youngs get away with murder.
00:13:39Now, of course, the wife, Mary Alice, is already dead.
00:13:43But Paul Young's a different matter.
00:13:47If you'd like me to deal with him,
00:13:50just say the word.
00:13:54Delfino's bringing my grandson here.
00:13:57I want to get the kid something.
00:14:00You know anything about those MP3 things?
00:14:04Yeah, they're real nice.
00:14:07I'd go with that.
00:14:09Ah, he's probably got one already.
00:14:12Paul Young has had 16 years
00:14:14to give my grandkid anything he wants.
00:14:18Do me a favor, will you?
00:14:20Yeah.
00:14:21See to it that Paul Young
00:14:24has a toy chest of his very own.
00:14:26Carl?
00:14:40Yeah?
00:14:42This place is a freaking pigsty.
00:14:45Would you get down here and help me?
00:14:47All right, hold on.
00:14:48It's almost halftime.
00:14:49By the way, I made dinner reservations
00:14:51at Shea and Naomi tonight, if that's okay.
00:14:53That's got to be better than that rat hole
00:14:55you took me to on New Year's.
00:14:56And don't even think of getting me carnations again.
00:14:59That crap might have flown from Meijer.
00:15:02I actually have taste.
00:15:03Come on, move it!
00:15:05All right, I'm coming.
00:15:06No, no, no, sit and watch your game.
00:15:18I was just giving you a hard time.
00:15:20I've had a tough week.
00:15:21Boys, can you just keep it down just a little bit
00:15:28because I have a very special type of grown-up headache.
00:15:33We need to see Mommy and Daddy.
00:15:35We want to play them our song.
00:15:36Honey, you can't.
00:15:37They're at work.
00:15:38Well, can we play it for you?
00:15:44Sure.
00:15:46Just a moment, okay?
00:15:50Oh.
00:15:51All right, boys, let's have it.
00:16:03When I heard that you two wanted to try for another child,
00:16:06I was delighted.
00:16:07But I had some cause for concern.
00:16:10Gabrielle, you suffered some extensive injuries
00:16:13during your fall last month,
00:16:14and the tests confirm there are complications.
00:16:19I can't have kids?
00:16:20Well, the doctor's not 100% positive,
00:16:23but it's very, very iffy.
00:16:25God, I am so sorry.
00:16:27I know how much you wanted to be a dad.
00:16:29Thanks.
00:16:30Oh, don't be so suicidal.
00:16:32We can always adopt.
00:16:33I wanted to have a child of our own.
00:16:34You know that.
00:16:35What does it matter whose DNA it is?
00:16:36The diapers are still going to smell the same regardless.
00:16:38I just prefer not to adopt, okay?
00:16:41Fine.
00:16:42What about surrogacy?
00:16:43I mean, I know it's pricey,
00:16:45but at least the baby would look like us
00:16:46and I wouldn't get stretch marks.
00:16:48It's a win-win.
00:16:50Great.
00:16:50So then we have some stranger off the street
00:16:52giving birth to our child.
00:16:53Is that what you really want?
00:16:54What I want is for you to lighten up.
00:16:56We don't have a lot of options,
00:16:57and you're going to have to pick one.
00:16:59I have a thought.
00:17:01Well, it is a little bit controversial,
00:17:04but go with me.
00:17:05Well, first of all, let me tell you
00:17:06that I am in the best shape of my life.
00:17:09So?
00:17:10So, what if I was your surrogate?
00:17:16Yeah, I know.
00:17:16I know it might sound a little crazy,
00:17:18but I am the only one in the world
00:17:20that you can trust
00:17:21who will put the baby's needs first.
00:17:23You know, I'll exercise more.
00:17:25I'll eat better.
00:17:26Mother, no.
00:17:28Why?
00:17:29Off the top of my head, you're on Medicare?
00:17:32Oh, I am only 51.
00:17:35You know, and there's this woman in England last year.
00:17:37She was 63 years old,
00:17:38and she gave birth to her own grandchild.
00:17:41Look, I don't care if she shot triplets out of her ass.
00:17:43It's not going to happen.
00:17:46Can you believe this?
00:17:49How'd that England baby turn out?
00:17:51It didn't have, like, a big head or anything, did it?
00:17:53Carlos, you are not seriously considering this.
00:17:55Well, think about it, Gabby.
00:17:56This way, the surrogate wouldn't be
00:17:58some impersonal incubator.
00:17:59There'd be a family tie.
00:18:04I have a migraine.
00:18:05I'm going to go lay down upstairs.
00:18:06And when I get up,
00:18:08I hope we can all talk about this
00:18:09like rational human beings.
00:18:13Carlitos, don't worry.
00:18:16Just give her time.
00:18:18She'll come around.
00:18:19I'm hungry.
00:18:20I'm hungry.
00:18:20I'm hungry.
00:18:21Thanks, Gus.
00:18:23Huh?
00:18:24What?
00:18:27Bye!
00:18:31Bye.
00:18:41Bye.
00:18:45Boys? Boys? Okay, we're done playing hide-and-seek. Boys?
00:19:15Father! Pastor! This isn't funny!
00:19:27Mrs. McCluskey, hi. Have you seen the Scarborough Boys?
00:19:31Well, can't say that I have.
00:19:33Why?
00:19:35I have something to tell them.
00:19:37Have they signed the contract? Because if not, somebody should call Bednark and tell them to adjust the language.
00:19:47I'm sorry, hang on. Hello?
00:19:49Lynette Scarborough?
00:19:51Yes. I believe I have something that belongs to you.
00:19:55Hi. Excuse me. Hi. You called? I said my kids are here.
00:20:02Hi, Mommy. Hi, Mommy.
00:20:04Oh, my God. Yes!
00:20:06What were you thinking, taking off like that?
00:20:09What were you thinking?
00:20:11Get your stuff.
00:20:13Thank you. Thank you so much.
00:20:16I'm just glad I found him and not some weird old freak.
00:20:19Oh, yes. Oh, yeah, me too. Thank you.
00:20:22Because there are all sorts of crazy people out there. Drunks, perverts, molesters.
00:20:27Yes. Yeah, no, I know.
00:20:29No. You got really lucky.
00:20:31I mean, a different person might have called the cops or child welfare.
00:20:35Well, okay, I know how this looks, but I have to tell you I left them with a very reliable babysitter.
00:20:40Oh, yeah. You picked a real winner.
00:20:45Are you judging me? Because if you are, you couldn't say anything.
00:20:49Lynette, Lynette. What?
00:20:50Let it go.
00:20:51The kids walked for three miles to get here. We don't have a leg to stand on.
00:20:56Well, thank you so much.
00:21:06Hey, I don't know about you, but I am tired of all the tension around here.
00:21:09So I was thinking we could go shopping, have some fun.
00:21:13Then maybe later we can talk about the surrogacy thing.
00:21:16See if we can make it work.
00:21:17Oh, Gabriela.
00:21:19You'll see.
00:21:21This is the best thing for the entire family.
00:21:30So, where's the boutique?
00:21:32Oh, it's in the hotel lobby.
00:21:34So go ahead. I'm right behind you.
00:21:36Okay.
00:21:39What are you doing?
00:21:40I'm going home.
00:21:41What?
00:21:42I thought we were going to talk about how the surrogacy will work.
00:21:45Here's how it's going to work.
00:21:46You're going to check yourself into the hotel, and then tomorrow you're going to plant your childbearing hips on a plane, and you're going to leave our lives forever.
00:21:48I'm pulling out.
00:21:49Watch your boobs.
00:21:50Wow.
00:21:51Wow.
00:21:52Wow.
00:21:53Come on out.
00:21:54Oh, thank God.
00:21:55Come on out.
00:21:56Oh, thank God.
00:21:57I'm so sorry.
00:21:58Come on out.
00:21:59Come on out.
00:22:00Come on out.
00:22:01Come on out.
00:22:02Oh, thank God.
00:22:03I'm so sorry.
00:22:04I don't know what happened.
00:22:05I was in the kitchen cleaning up after making cookies, and I looked in the living room, and they were gone.
00:22:18We tried to tell her we were going, but she was asleep.
00:22:19You were sleeping?
00:22:20I most certainly was not.
00:22:21Yes, you were.
00:22:22Okay.
00:22:23All right.
00:22:24That lie just lost you another week of TV and video game privileges.
00:22:25That's two.
00:22:26You want to keep talking and lose more?
00:22:27Then apologize for you.
00:22:28I'm sorry.
00:22:29I'm sorry.
00:22:30I'm sorry.
00:22:31I'm sorry.
00:22:32I'm sorry.
00:22:33I'm sorry.
00:22:34I'm sorry.
00:22:35I'm sorry.
00:22:36I'm sorry.
00:22:37I'm sorry.
00:22:38I'm sorry.
00:22:39I'm sorry.
00:22:40I'm sorry.
00:22:41I'm sorry.
00:22:42I'm sorry.
00:22:43I'm sorry.
00:22:44I'm sorry.
00:22:45I'm sorry.
00:22:46I'm sorry.
00:22:47I'm sorry.
00:22:48I'm sorry.
00:22:49I'm sorry.
00:22:50Well, if you ask me, it's a pretty crappy thing to do.
00:22:51Did you even slow the car down before you pushed her out?
00:22:52Okay.
00:22:53First of all, no one asked you.
00:22:54And the only reason you care about my mother is because of that ridiculous suggestion she
00:23:10offered.
00:23:11I think her offer to be our surrogate was very generous.
00:23:13Generous?
00:23:14Don't you see the strings attached?
00:23:16What strings?
00:23:17The only reason she offered up her dusty womb is because she's screwed.
00:23:20Her latest sugar daddy gave her the boot, so mom needs a place to stay, and money.
00:23:24So trust me.
00:23:25If she carried our child, we'd be footing the bill for years.
00:23:28I think your hatred for her is clouding your judgment.
00:23:30Maybe.
00:23:31But you don't know her like I do.
00:23:35Okay.
00:23:36You ran away from home 15 years ago.
00:23:39Did you ever think to talk to her about the stuff that happened between you and your
00:23:43stepdad?
00:23:44It wouldn't have done any good.
00:23:46How do you know that?
00:23:48Because she knew exactly what was going on with Alejandro.
00:23:52And she chose to look the other way.
00:23:54But you never even gave her a chance to step up.
00:23:56You just ran away from home.
00:23:57Because if I did, then she would...
00:23:59Because there was a chance she wouldn't have believed me.
00:24:05And that would have hurt a lot worse than anything he ever did to me.
00:24:21She's your mother and she loves you.
00:24:25I know it's been a very long time, but maybe you can talk to her about it now.
00:24:35I'm getting her luggage back to her and that's the best I can do.
00:24:53What are you doing here?
00:24:54There's something I need to talk to you about.
00:24:56It's important.
00:24:57There's nothing for us to talk about.
00:24:59Shut up and listen.
00:25:01Deirdre's father, Noah Taylor, somehow found out about Zack.
00:25:05And he wants to meet him.
00:25:07Somehow found out?
00:25:08Like maybe you told him?
00:25:09Noah is no friend of mine.
00:25:11But he's very rich and powerful and he's terminal.
00:25:15And he wants to meet his grandson before he dies.
00:25:17Absolutely not.
00:25:19You'll be surprised, but I agree with you.
00:25:21Noah destroys everything he touches.
00:25:24And the last thing either of us wants is for this guy to get his hooks into Zack.
00:25:29What are we supposed to do?
00:25:35You and Zack need to vanish.
00:25:38Just stay out of sight until nature takes its course with Noah.
00:25:43If we leave, we won't be coming back.
00:25:45You'll never see your boy again.
00:25:50I know.
00:25:59Happy Valentine's Day, my darling.
00:26:03Isn't that your ex-husband?
00:26:06Oh, yeah.
00:26:09Apparently they'll let anyone in here.
00:26:12Bye.
00:26:14Your chocolate souffles will be out momentarily.
00:26:16We didn't order souffle.
00:26:18I ordered it as soon as we got here.
00:26:19Takes an hour to prepare.
00:26:21Oh, I really can't. I'm stuffed.
00:26:22No, no, no.
00:26:23This you'll want to try.
00:26:24It's their specialty.
00:26:25I guess I'll have the souffle.
00:26:31Can you excuse me for a second?
00:26:33I, um...
00:26:34I just have to powder my nose.
00:26:41I'm sorry to interrupt.
00:26:42Your makeup is all smudged.
00:26:44Come with me, I'll fix it.
00:26:45What?
00:26:46Come on, get up.
00:26:48My makeup is smudged.
00:26:51Get in here.
00:26:55I have some news that's probably gonna devastate you.
00:26:59But I wanted to be the first one to tell you.
00:27:02Okay.
00:27:03Carl is about to pop the question.
00:27:06You mean, like marriage?
00:27:07Mm-hmm.
00:27:09Oh, I hope I haven't ruined your Valentine's Day.
00:27:11Do you want a tissue?
00:27:12No, no, I'm okay.
00:27:13I'm just... surprised.
00:27:16Well, congratulations.
00:27:17Uh, what makes you think he's gonna propose?
00:27:21Well, I, um...
00:27:22I was looking through his briefcase this afternoon,
00:27:24and I found this ring.
00:27:26And so tonight he keeps pushing this special dessert on me,
00:27:29so obviously he's hidden the ring inside.
00:27:32A ring?
00:27:34What did it look like?
00:27:36Oh, I don't know.
00:27:3718-karat white gold, 10 diamonds, engraved accents.
00:27:40I just got a quick peek.
00:27:42Oh, um...
00:27:43I think I know that ring.
00:27:44That's his grandmother's ring.
00:27:45It's a family heirloom.
00:27:47And, you know,
00:27:48he might just be having it cleaned or something.
00:27:52Except for one thing.
00:27:53Lying right next to it...
00:27:56was a prenup.
00:28:00Well, Carl is a lawyer,
00:28:02and it could just be a prenup for another client.
00:28:07Boy, jealousy is one ugly thing up close.
00:28:11Oh, no, Edie.
00:28:12No, you know what?
00:28:13I'm gonna take the high road,
00:28:14and I'm gonna ignore your nastiness.
00:28:18If you'll excuse me,
00:28:19I'm going back to my table and getting engaged.
00:28:23Up!
00:28:26Up!
00:28:38Oh, hi.
00:28:39Um, did you see that man over there?
00:28:40Dark hair, handsome?
00:28:41I think you just looked this to him
00:28:42without anybody noticing.
00:28:44You never stop.
00:28:55I told you,
00:28:56I'm not divorcing my wife.
00:28:57I'm in this for the sex,
00:28:58and if you can't accept it,
00:28:59then go to hell.
00:29:01What the hell are you doing?
00:29:13I thought you said this dessert was special.
00:29:15When you put it in your mouth and eat it,
00:29:17what is wrong with you?
00:29:18Well...
00:29:22Nothing.
00:29:23Carlos.
00:29:24What a surprise.
00:29:25Come on here.
00:29:26I thought you could use your bags.
00:29:27Oh, yes.
00:29:28Perfect timing.
00:29:29I just took a shower
00:29:30and needed something to change into.
00:29:31Here, leave your ears.
00:29:32All right, thank you.
00:29:33Listen, do you have a minute?
00:29:34Um, because I need to talk to you about something.
00:29:35Yeah, sure.
00:29:36Sit down.
00:29:37Talk as I dress.
00:29:38I'll leave the door open so I can hear you.
00:29:40Look, I was, uh...
00:29:41I was, uh...
00:29:42I was, uh...
00:29:43I was, uh...
00:29:44I was, uh...
00:29:45I was, uh...
00:29:46thinking about your surrogacy idea.
00:29:47Mm-hmm.
00:29:48And, uh...
00:29:49I think it could be the answer to all of our problems.
00:29:50That is, if you're still interested.
00:29:51Yes!
00:29:52I mean...
00:29:53I am.
00:29:54But...
00:29:55I just think that, uh...
00:29:56Gary will never let it happen.
00:29:57No, no, no.
00:29:58She can be convinced.
00:29:59I know it.
00:30:00Can you please, uh...
00:30:01Zip me up?
00:30:02Huh?
00:30:03My zipper.
00:30:04It's stuck.
00:30:05Yeah.
00:30:06Hmm.
00:30:07We did that so fast.
00:30:10I know someone who works out.
00:30:12As I was saying,
00:30:13I think the surrogacy idea could work.
00:30:16It's stuck.
00:30:23We did that so fast.
00:30:25I know someone who works out.
00:30:29As I was saying, I think the surrogacy idea could work.
00:30:36But you and Gabby are going to have to mend some fences.
00:30:39After such a long time, what is the point?
00:30:41Lucia, please, hear me out.
00:30:43There was a lot of stuff that Gabby went through when she was younger.
00:30:47A lot of stuff that you don't know about.
00:30:49And I think that if you went to her and asked her about it,
00:30:51then the two of you could finally get past it.
00:30:53What stuff are you talking about, Carlos?
00:30:58Your second husband, Alejandro.
00:31:03When Gabby was 15, he assaulted her sexually.
00:31:06Is that what she told you?
00:31:08Look, I know that it comes as a shock for you to be hearing it from me.
00:31:12Carlos, please, I am aware they had sex.
00:31:16But it was Gabriela who seduced him.
00:31:19Excuse me?
00:31:21She was always jealous of me.
00:31:23You know, you don't know how many times I caught her wearing my shoes,
00:31:26wearing all my jewelry, and I'd scream at her to leave my things alone.
00:31:29But no, she wanted whatever I had.
00:31:32Then one night, she set her sights on Alejandro.
00:31:37Believe me, no one got raped.
00:31:42Lucia, she was only 15 years old.
00:31:46You know, a lot of men have left me over the years, and I never knew the reason.
00:31:50But when Alejandro left, I knew exactly why it happened.
00:31:55Gabriela made him fall in love with her.
00:31:58It took me so many years to forgive her.
00:32:03You forgave her?
00:32:05But of course.
00:32:06I couldn't have offered to carry her baby unless I had.
00:32:17Carl!
00:32:18Carl!
00:32:19Camille!
00:32:24Why didn't you answer your damn cell phone?
00:32:26I turned it off.
00:32:27What's going on?
00:32:28Where's Edie?
00:32:29She's upstairs.
00:32:30She's been in a pissy mood ever since we left the restaurant.
00:32:31I don't know what's wrong with her.
00:32:32She found the ring and the prenup in your briefcase.
00:32:35She thought you were going to pop the question tonight.
00:32:37Oh, no.
00:32:38Oh, yes.
00:32:39You know, this whole fake marriage thing was okay when nobody was getting hurt.
00:32:42What are we doing?
00:32:43It's a lie.
00:32:44I lost Mike over a lie, and now I'm doing the same thing to Dr. Ron.
00:32:47And look at Edie.
00:32:48She was devastated.
00:32:50I don't think I can go through with this.
00:32:52You can't call off the wedding.
00:32:53How are you going to pay for your surgery?
00:32:54I don't know.
00:32:55You know, I'll just...
00:32:56I'll sell the car.
00:32:57Susie, this is your health we're talking about.
00:33:00We're getting married.
00:33:01Carl?
00:33:02No.
00:33:03Dr. Ron would be the first to say that you're doing the right thing.
00:33:05I'll figure out some way to handle Edie.
00:33:08How?
00:33:09How are you going to handle Edie?
00:33:10That poor woman's dreams exploded in her face tonight.
00:33:13You know, it's not like you can just go out and buy her flowers and everything will be better.
00:33:18Then I'll propose to her.
00:33:20Well, that's a little extreme.
00:33:22Not really.
00:33:23I was probably going to do it eventually anyhow.
00:33:25Obviously, we're going to have to get a divorce before I can actually marry her.
00:33:28But, uh...
00:33:30What?
00:33:32Anthony, I just...
00:33:35I didn't know that you loved her like that.
00:33:37She's a great kid.
00:33:38Total package.
00:33:39What's the matter, Susie Q?
00:33:40Jealous?
00:33:41No, of course not.
00:33:42Well, okay.
00:33:43This is good.
00:33:44Because, you know, if this experience helped you to realize your true feelings, then we did something good here.
00:33:58Yeah.
00:33:59I think we have.
00:34:00Come here.
00:34:01Yeah.
00:34:02I can't believe you thought I was jealous.
00:34:03It's not like I still have feelings for you anymore.
00:34:04You're right.
00:34:05No, I was just fooling around.
00:34:06So?
00:34:07How did it go?
00:34:08Fine.
00:34:09I just dropped off the luggage and left.
00:34:11Oh.
00:34:12Mm.
00:34:13Hm.
00:34:14Hm.
00:34:15Hm.
00:34:16Hm.
00:34:17Hm.
00:34:18Hm.
00:34:19Hm.
00:34:20Hm.
00:34:21Hm.
00:34:22Hm.
00:34:23Hm.
00:34:24Hm.
00:34:25Hm.
00:34:26Hm.
00:34:27Hm.
00:34:28Hm.
00:34:29Hm.
00:34:30Hm.
00:34:31Hm.
00:34:32What was that for?
00:34:33No reason.
00:34:35Hey, I was thinking.
00:34:38We should look into adoption.
00:34:41Seriously?
00:34:43Hm.
00:34:44But I thought you wanted a kid with your own DNA.
00:34:47Blood isn't everything.
00:34:49Hm.
00:34:50Hm.
00:34:55Hey.
00:34:56I heard you lost your kids yesterday.
00:35:10Yeah.
00:35:11It was cleared up.
00:35:12It's just a little confusion.
00:35:14Help me out here with something.
00:35:16Uh, what exactly is it you look for in a babysitter?
00:35:19Excuse me?
00:35:20Well, I may be ancient, like you say.
00:35:23But I've never gotten drunk and lost track of three kids.
00:35:25What?
00:35:26I smelled wine on Bree Vandycap when she was looking for your boys.
00:35:29That's ridiculous.
00:35:30Is it?
00:35:31Yesterday I found her passed out in her front lawn, drunk as a skunk.
00:35:35I've known Bree for years and years.
00:35:36There's no way she was drinking while babysitting my kids.
00:35:39So, just go spread your poison somewhere else.
00:35:42Okay?
00:35:43I just thought I'd do you a favor and let you know.
00:35:45That's all.
00:35:46Okay.
00:35:47Well, thanks.
00:35:54Hi.
00:35:55You, um, you recovered from all of yesterday's excitement?
00:35:59Oh.
00:36:00Truthfully, I haven't been able to get my mind off it.
00:36:02What a scare, huh?
00:36:04Yeah.
00:36:05Although, I still can't figure out how my boys managed to sneak past you.
00:36:10Well, you know how boys are at that age.
00:36:13They're escape artists.
00:36:14They're like lightning.
00:36:16It's just Penny.
00:36:18Penny?
00:36:19Well, I mean, I just don't understand how Porter and Preston managed to wrangle her into the stroller
00:36:25and then make it out your front door without you even noticing.
00:36:34I guess if you'd fallen asleep, it could have happened like that, I guess.
00:36:40You know, I think I must have been cleaning the kitchen and I just didn't hear them because of the noise from the dishwasher.
00:36:47Look, I apologize in advance for how this is going to sound, but I have to ask it. It's just going to eat away at me.
00:36:55Were you drinking while babysitting my kids?
00:36:57No.
00:36:58Oh, you know, I may have had just the tiniest little bit of Chardonnay.
00:37:09Oh, gosh. You got drunk and you passed out.
00:37:14Lynette, if I close my eyes even for a moment, it's because of these antihistamines I've been taking.
00:37:18Really? Is that why you passed out on your front lawn yesterday morning?
00:37:24Now that you're speaking to me in a fairly accusatory tone, may I remind you that I was doing you a favor?
00:37:29You put my kids in danger and then you lied about it. Do you not get how big that is?
00:37:32Do you have some kind of problem with alcohol?
00:37:34No, the only problem I have is with your children. They're incorrigible because you let them run amok.
00:37:38And if I hadn't drifted off, they would have waited until I was in the bathroom or stuck on the phone or upstairs doing laundry.
00:37:46On any given day, how many glasses of wine do you put away?
00:37:53I will not be spoken to like that. I just won't.
00:38:04Now and then, we all need a little help. So we ask for small favors.
00:38:23Thanks. I owe you one.
00:38:25But it's always best to be wary of those eager to come to our rescue.
00:38:29Well, go on. Kiss the bride.
00:38:34Because even the smallest of favors...
00:38:40Sure thing, Tom. I'd be happy to babysit for you.
00:38:44My, have you noticed how clogged my rain gutters are?
00:38:47...carries a price tag.
00:38:50Yes, everyone has an agenda.
00:38:52I heard about your operation, Auntie Ness, and I'm jumping on a plane right now to come and help you out.
00:38:58No matter what they may tell us.
00:39:00No, I'm happy to. But I'm prepared to stay as long as it takes.
00:39:05And in those rare instances where there is no ulterior motive, we're so taken aback that we may fail to recognize the truth.
00:39:15That a loving friend has just done us an enormous favor.
00:39:32You put my kids in danger and then you lied about it. Do you have some kind of problem with alcohol?
00:39:47Lynette asked a loaded question.
00:39:49I'm the one who was sleeping with your son.
00:39:51But it's over now.
00:39:52No, you're wrong. It's not even close to being over.
00:39:55Gabrielle confessed.
00:39:57Here's your mail.
00:39:58While Noah searched for Zach.
00:40:00I worry for that boy.
00:40:01What kind of people would buy a baby from a junkie?
00:40:03Played perfectly into Felicia's plot.
00:40:06Paul Young has a toy chest of his very own.
00:40:09For revenge.
00:40:11What made my husband Paul Young such a good investor was his uncanny ability to anticipate the future.
00:40:19Zach, how did you do this?
00:40:21He foresaw the necessity of the Velcro shoe.
00:40:24He predicted the advent of the $3 cup of coffee.
00:40:29He even anticipated the surprising boom in bottled water.
00:40:34Yeah, it's Paul Young.
00:40:36I've been reading about the election results in Brazil.
00:40:39It's time to buy sugar.
00:40:45But the crystal ball that served Paul so well in the stock market sometimes failed him closer to home.
00:40:52Paul Young?
00:40:53Yeah.
00:40:54Detective Sullivan.
00:40:55You need to come downtown for questioning.
00:40:57About what?
00:40:58We're investigating reports of credit card fraud and your name has been linked with several of the victims.
00:41:03Well, it must be some mistake.
00:41:05Could be.
00:41:06But we still need to go downtown and straighten it out.
00:41:08Alright.
00:41:11How long is this gonna take?
00:41:13Don't worry about it. It's just a mix-up.
00:41:23Let's go.
00:41:28What's going on? I thought you just wanted to ask me some questions.
00:41:33That's after you're booked.
00:41:35Booked? Booked for what?
00:41:36You can't book him here anyhow, detective.
00:41:38Computers are down.
00:41:40World full up.
00:41:41You gotta take me out of county.
00:41:43What is going on? This is crazy.
00:41:45I wanna call my lawyer.
00:41:46What the hell do you guys think you're doing anyway?
00:41:48Huh?
00:41:51This is ridiculous.
00:41:56I get a phone call.
00:41:57Yes.
00:41:58In the world of investments, my husband had a remarkable ability to see the future.
00:42:04Got a message for you, Paul Young.
00:42:10Deidre's father said to give you his regards.
00:42:15Die!
00:42:16But sadly, Paul didn't see this one coming at all.
00:42:19Brie Vandekamp had a weekly routine she'd been following for years.
00:42:34She cleaned on Tuesdays.
00:42:37She paid her bills on Wednesdays.
00:42:40She did her laundry on Thursdays.
00:42:44And after these daily chores were completed, she would reward herself with a little drink.
00:42:50What Brie didn't know was this latest addition to her routine had been noticed by her friends.
00:42:56And it had now become part of their routine to discuss it.
00:43:01So, apparently Brie had a few too many and passed out.
00:43:05Next thing I know, I get a call at work.
00:43:07Someone found my kids wandering the street.
00:43:09Oh my God!
00:43:10Have you seen Brie since?
00:43:11No.
00:43:12I'm worried about her, but I don't know how I'm going to get over what she did.
00:43:24Hey, Brie.
00:43:25How are you doing today?
00:43:26I'm really well.
00:43:28Um, I just saw you all talking before Lynette went off to work.
00:43:32What were you all talking about?
00:43:33Oh, nothing, really.
00:43:35Carlos and I are going to go see the adoption counselor today.
00:43:37Checking myself into the hospital.
00:43:39I'm finally going to get that surgery.
00:43:40Oh, good for you.
00:43:43Did Lynette mention the little tiff we had?
00:43:47Just in passing.
00:43:48She barely mentioned it.
00:43:49Because what happened was I accidentally mixed my antihistamine medication with, you know,
00:43:54a little glass of wine I was having and I fell asleep, you know, while I was watching her kids.
00:43:59I mean, I like a little wine with dinner.
00:44:02I mean, now and then.
00:44:03You know, who doesn't?
00:44:04But, uh, I mean, you know, to trash my entire reputation.
00:44:08Oh, she didn't trash you.
00:44:09Honest.
00:44:10Well, good.
00:44:11I mean, I just, I really wouldn't want you to get the wrong impression.
00:44:16Well, I'm, I'm going to the mall.
00:44:17They're having a white sale today.
00:44:18I think I'm gonna get a new bath mat.
00:44:19Oh, does anyone need one?
00:44:20I'm good.
00:44:21Okay.
00:44:22Take care.
00:44:23Wow.
00:44:24Did you smell the alcohol on her breath?
00:44:25I sure did.
00:44:26Oh.
00:44:27Then our Eskimo turns in the camera and says, Polar Fresh Mints will give your breath an A plus
00:44:43two.
00:44:46So, what do you think?
00:44:48It feels a little familiar.
00:44:50Really?
00:44:51I don't think so.
00:44:52You know, I'm pretty sure the Lowell Group used Eskimos in a deodorant commercial they
00:44:56had last month.
00:44:57Remember?
00:44:58Oh, this is completely different.
00:44:59Those were jock Eskimos competing in the Iditarod.
00:45:01Our Eskimo's trying to, you know, patch things up with his wife.
00:45:03Yeah, no.
00:45:04I get the subtle distinction.
00:45:05I think we can do better.
00:45:08Okay?
00:45:09So, Sally, you're up.
00:45:11What do you got for me?
00:45:17Hey.
00:45:18Hey.
00:45:19I got the subtle distinction?
00:45:21What was that about?
00:45:22If you really want to do this now, shut the door.
00:45:24Okay, sure.
00:45:25I was a little bitchy, but you know why?
00:45:27You did a half-ass job in there.
00:45:28Hey, you may not like my idea, but you can't say I didn't work hard.
00:45:32Oh, please.
00:45:33I live with you.
00:45:34Last night when you should have been trying to make that pitch work, you were watching
00:45:37the game.
00:45:38I wasn't watching the game.
00:45:39They saw you.
00:45:40What?
00:45:41Okay, now I can't check the score.
00:45:43Are you saying you gave your heart and soul to that Eskimo pitch?
00:45:46I worked really hard on that pitch.
00:45:48Did you give it a hundred percent?
00:45:50Well, exactly.
00:45:51So, big deal.
00:45:52Go work up some new ideas and then we'll go over it during lunch.
00:45:57Okay.
00:46:00You're the boss.
00:46:01Yes, I am.
00:46:07Hey.
00:46:08Susan.
00:46:09Good to see you again.
00:46:10I'm really looking forward to your surgery.
00:46:12And I'm really hoping you're a lefty.
00:46:14Nope.
00:46:15I can't even write my name.
00:46:16But that's what I get for throwing my kid a roller skating party.
00:46:20Funny.
00:46:21So, what about my surgery?
00:46:22Oh, I'll still do it.
00:46:24With Dr. Ron's help, of course.
00:46:26Dr. Cunningham will be standing right beside me.
00:46:28It's my hands and his brain.
00:46:29You got the best parts of both of us.
00:46:30Then I'm on board.
00:46:32We're keeping you under observation, so hopefully we'll operate tomorrow.
00:46:36If you don't mind, I'd like a minute to consult with my patient.
00:46:39Oh, right.
00:46:40Your little thing.
00:46:45What little thing?
00:46:47Well, it was going to be a surprise, but...
00:46:52Oh, my God.
00:46:53They're beautiful.
00:46:55Look.
00:46:58I've been thinking about us a lot lately.
00:47:01About putting this operation behind us and where we'll go from there.
00:47:04Our future.
00:47:06Together.
00:47:08And I really suck at putting my emotions into words, which is why I wrote it all down.
00:47:13There's a card.
00:47:15Oh.
00:47:16But you can't read it.
00:47:17Not while I'm here.
00:47:18Anyway.
00:47:19It's way too stressful.
00:47:20I'm going to go now.
00:47:21I'm going to go now.
00:47:31Wow.
00:47:34Wow.
00:47:38Oh, he's so romantic.
00:47:41May I?
00:47:43Oh, it's sort of private.
00:47:46Well, I did help him pick out the flowers.
00:47:48Oh.
00:47:49Um.
00:47:52Okay.
00:47:57There's more on the back.
00:48:07So, how does this work?
00:48:08Do we flip through a catalog or something?
00:48:09I wish it was that easy.
00:48:10You have to understand, for every baby, there are ten couples who want it.
00:48:14You don't choose your child, the birth mother chooses you.
00:48:17Really?
00:48:19So, what do you think our chances are?
00:48:21We will do anything that we need to do.
00:48:23Well, your typical birth mother is usually a young girl, and she'll just want to make sure you're quality people.
00:48:28Now, to show her that, you'll be putting together a parent portfolio.
00:48:31What's that?
00:48:32Family pictures, character references, that kind of stuff.
00:48:36So, uh, we're auditioning to be parents?
00:48:38I guess you could say that.
00:48:40So, just to be clear, some slutty cheerleader gets knocked up by the soccer coach behind the local gas engulf, and she is going to make sure we're quality people?
00:48:48You don't need to answer that.
00:48:49No, you don't have to hide it from me.
00:48:50Hmm?
00:48:51Drinking doesn't bother me.
00:48:52Well, I wasn't hiding anything. I was simply enjoying the day. What's your what?
00:48:54Well, uh, Mason was my ride to school, and his dad's moving them to Tucson, so...
00:48:56Oh, well, if you need a ride to school, I'm happy to drive you.
00:48:58No, that's not what I want. I-I want a car.
00:48:59Well, then I suggest you get a job.
00:49:00Why should I have to go work my ass off at some place?
00:49:01No, you don't have to hide it from me.
00:49:02No, you don't have to hide it from me.
00:49:03Hmm?
00:49:04Drinking doesn't bother me.
00:49:05Well, I wasn't hiding anything. I was simply enjoying the day. What's your what?
00:49:09Well, uh, Mason was my ride to school, and his dad's moving them to Tucson, so...
00:49:14Oh, well, if you need a ride to school, I'm happy to drive you.
00:49:17No, that's not what I want. I-I want a car.
00:49:19Well, then I suggest you get a job.
00:49:21Why should I have to go work my ass off at some fast food place when I can already afford what I want?
00:49:27Andrew, we're not touching your trust fund.
00:49:29It's my money.
00:49:30Not until you're 21, and if I had my way, you wouldn't get your hands on it until you're 50.
00:49:35I mean, we both know you're gonna waste every penny of it.
00:49:38Why are you being like this?
00:49:40Because, sweetheart, it is my job to teach you about responsibility, setting goals, delayed gratification.
00:49:52What do you know about delayed gratification?
00:49:55It's not even noon yet. You're already on your third glass of wine.
00:49:58You know, on second thought, I won't be driving you to school. The walk will do you good.
00:50:02Mom, I'm not kidding around. I want my money.
00:50:05The answer is no.
00:50:07Well, aren't we a mean old drunk?
00:50:09Whatever that was supposed to teach me, consider a lesson learned.
00:50:16What are you doing here?
00:50:28I'm just enjoying the silky smooth moves of Dr. Ron. Or should I say, Dr. Love.
00:50:32Give me that.
00:50:33This is my favorite. I can't wait to be in the operating room with you so I can touch your heart, because you've already touched mine so deeply.
00:50:40Okay, that part sounds better when you don't read it out loud. And what are you doing reading it anyway? Those are Dr. Ron's private thoughts.
00:50:46Yeah, I got that. You know, I sense that he really likes you, Susie.
00:50:50So?
00:50:51So do you really like him?
00:50:53Of course I do. He's smart and funny and kind.
00:50:57Smart, funny, kind. I don't hear the word love in there.
00:51:00Well, that's a big word. We just started dating and we have a connection and I'm gonna follow it through and see where it goes.
00:51:07Oh, I get it. You're gonna string them along until you feel something you don't and waste the next five years of your life.
00:51:13As opposed to the twelve I wasted on you? Why are we talking about this? I don't recall asking you your opinion.
00:51:19Because we're married and I have certain rights and one of them is the right to badger you.
00:51:24Okay, you know, you can leave now.
00:51:25I wish I could MRI your soul.
00:51:27Out!
00:51:28Not funny.
00:51:31Hey, watch out for my wife. She's on a tear.
00:51:35Oh, here's one we took on vacation.
00:51:42Gabby, these pictures have to be wholesome.
00:51:45They gotta say, these people do a great job raising a child.
00:51:50So?
00:51:51So you're topless.
00:51:53Yeah, but it's St. Bart's and your hands are covering my naughty parts.
00:51:57Do you mean the hand that's holding the tequila shot or the one that's holding the Cuban cigar?
00:52:02Yeah, that was a good trip.
00:52:04Gabby!
00:52:05Fine, we won't use it.
00:52:07We can't use any of them.
00:52:08Every single picture of the two of us, we're either drinking or smoking or naked.
00:52:12So we like to have fun.
00:52:13I mean, who doesn't understand that better than an unwed, knocked up teenager?
00:52:17This is serious.
00:52:18If we can't sell ourselves as good people...
00:52:20Well, then we'll just have to find someone who can do it for us.
00:52:26So you want me to, uh, pitch you as parents?
00:52:31You're in advertising, you can do it?
00:52:33Just write us a character reference saying we're great with kids.
00:52:36Oh, and this is for you?
00:52:39Oh.
00:52:40Well, you don't have to bribe me.
00:52:41We're all friends here.
00:52:42Keeping that in mind, would it also be okay if we were your kids' godparents?
00:52:47Oh.
00:52:48Uh, I guess.
00:52:49Great.
00:52:50And can we take some fake pictures to document it?
00:52:52I don't suppose you brought a corkscrew.
00:52:56Hello, Mike.
00:52:57Felicia, what are you doing here?
00:52:58Oh, I left in such a rush.
00:52:59There was a lot of old business I forgot to wrap up.
00:53:00Well, it must be a pretty important business.
00:53:01Get you to move back in next door to the man you think murdered your sister.
00:53:02It's funny you should mention Paul.
00:53:03You know, the police came and took him away last night.
00:53:04The police?
00:53:05And from the way they were manhandling him, I don't think he'll be back anytime soon.
00:53:09No, I just, I just want to talk to Paul.
00:53:10No, I don't think he'll be back anytime soon.
00:53:13No, I just, I just want to talk to Paul.
00:53:15No, I don't think he'll be back.
00:53:16No, I don't think he'll be back anytime soon.
00:53:25What the hell is going on?
00:53:34It's none of your concern, Mike.
00:53:36You listen to me.
00:53:37If anything happens to Paul Young...
00:53:38It already happened.
00:53:40Hours ago.
00:53:42He's dead.
00:53:45Like I said, it's none of your concern.
00:53:48Maybe you don't get it, Noah. You screwed up.
00:53:51You just killed the most important person in your grandson's life.
00:53:54Do you think he's going to have anything to do with you once he finds out?
00:53:57And believe me, I'll make sure he finds out.
00:54:01So, honey, the meatloaf, it's a, it's a little, a little burnt.
00:54:13Oh, right. I was talking to Susan on the phone and I left it in a little longer than I should have. Sorry.
00:54:18It's okay.
00:54:21Is it that bad?
00:54:23No. No, not bad at all.
00:54:25Oh, good. Parker.
00:54:27Don't put your elbows on the table.
00:54:29But you'd agree it wasn't your best effort.
00:54:31Huh?
00:54:32The meal, the task you agreed to take on, you'd agree that you didn't give it 100%, right?
00:54:37Tom, if you're going to make a point, why don't you do it now before I hurl the plate at you?
00:54:42Nobody gives 100% of the effort all the time because they can't. It is impossible.
00:54:45You do the best you can with the time and energy that you have.
00:54:48Stop right there. This is meatloaf. Your presentation was business.
00:54:52You're saying the client deserves more effort than your own family?
00:55:03Okay. So, if I apologize for upsetting you at work, can we get past it and enjoy our meal?
00:55:09Absolutely.
00:55:12I'm sorry. I'm sorry. I am sorry.
00:55:15Thanks.
00:55:16So, boys, how do you enjoy the meatloaf?
00:55:22It's a little salty.
00:55:24Yeah.
00:55:25Just eat it.
00:55:31There.
00:55:32Perfect.
00:55:37All right.
00:55:46One more time.
00:55:53What?
00:55:54Yeah.
00:55:55Dude, I don't want to mess up your face.
00:55:57Do you love me?
00:55:59Then do what I tell you.
00:56:11Rough day.
00:56:12Yeah.
00:56:13I wonder if there's any way that we can turn it around still.
00:56:20Good question.
00:56:22What to do?
00:56:23What to do?
00:56:24Yeah.
00:56:25Oh, hi. What's up?
00:56:26Why do you keep trying to do that?
00:56:27What?
00:56:28I'm trying to get on top.
00:56:29Of you? I'm not.
00:56:30You're pushing on me like you were trying to sack me. I felt it.
00:56:31Are you serious? Tom, I wasn't doing anything. I was just going for it. I was just going for it.
00:56:32I was just lost in the moment.
00:56:33Oh, come on. Come on. This is silly. I don't want to argue.
00:56:38Oh! Hi. What's up?
00:56:43Why do you keep trying to do that?
00:56:44What?
00:56:45I'm trying to get on top.
00:56:46Of you? I'm not.
00:56:47You were pushing on me like you were trying to sack me. I felt it.
00:56:50You serious? Tom, I wasn't doing anything. I was just going for it. I was just lost in the moment.
00:56:56Oh, come on. Come on. This is silly. I don't want to argue.
00:57:01I mean, unless it turns you on, does it? Because then I'm all about it.
00:57:06What was that?
00:57:14What was what?
00:57:15You were bracing. You were bracing with your leg. I was trying to lie on top of you and you were bracing yourself against the mattress so you didn't have to get on your back. Try and deny it. Try and deny it. You can't.
00:57:25Okay. Okay. Can I just mention you're talking like a crazy person?
00:57:28You can't give it up for a second, can you? You always have to call the shots. Always.
00:57:32Is this about me being your boss again? You gotta get over it.
00:57:38That's exactly my point. Exactly. You are not just my boss at the office. You're my boss everywhere.
00:57:45Oh, that's ridiculous. You run the show. You run the show and I'm alone for the ride. I just push the little shopping cart, let the woman do all the driving.
00:57:53Tom.
00:57:54Tom.
00:57:55I'm the caddy husband. I carry your clubs.
00:58:00I am so sorry you feel that way, but you cannot put that on me. This is your life. You wanna run it? Then step on up. You wanna drive? Grab the steering wheel. I mean, what else am I supposed to say?
00:58:16I'm gonna check on the kids.
00:58:29Time to check your blood pressure.
00:58:31Oh, sure.
00:58:36Oh, it's a little tight.
00:58:37Does that have to be that tight?
00:58:38Yes.
00:58:39Okay, that's actually starting to be painful.
00:58:49Really?
00:58:50That surprises me. I just assumed you were dead inside.
00:58:53Ow! Ow! What the hell? What are you doing?
00:58:55I told myself to stay out of this, but I can't. I know that you're married.
00:58:59I am not?
00:59:00Really? Hmm. Because that man that came to see you yesterday, he said you're his wife.
00:59:04Oh, no. No, no. He just said that because we used to be married. It's just a force of habit.
00:59:09Oh, that explains everything.
00:59:11Except that I checked your insurance forms and you're still married.
00:59:13So that makes you a lying, adulterous skink.
00:59:16No, no, no, no. Nurse Heisel. No, Nurse Heisel. Ow, ow, ow, ow.
00:59:20Oh, ow, ow. Nurse Heisel.
00:59:23Nurse, that's...
00:59:24Oh, ow.
00:59:25Oh, no.
00:59:27Nurse.
00:59:29Nurse Heisel.
00:59:30I can explain.
00:59:31Can you skink?
00:59:32Yes.
00:59:33Okay.
00:59:35I am married.
00:59:36But it's only because my insurance ran out.
00:59:38My ex-husband has a really good coverage plan.
00:59:40So he said that he would remarry me so I could get my operation.
00:59:43Only I didn't want to tell Dr. Ron because I didn't want him to be an accomplice to fraud.
00:59:49So you're what?
00:59:51Protecting him?
00:59:52Yeah.
00:59:53Yes, I am.
00:59:57Okay.
00:59:58As long as you're not too timing him.
01:00:00Mm-hmm.
01:00:01He feels so strongly about you.
01:00:02I know, I read the card.
01:00:03But did you read between the lines?
01:00:06What do you mean?
01:00:07Okay.
01:00:08I shouldn't be telling you this, but when we were picking out the flowers for you, he said
01:00:12that he was working up the courage to say he loves you.
01:00:15Really?
01:00:16Yes.
01:00:17But you have to act surprised, okay?
01:00:18Oh, yeah.
01:00:19I'll be surprised.
01:00:20So, I guess we have the whole insurance thing worked out.
01:00:23Oh, don't worry about that.
01:00:24Please.
01:00:25Who am I to cast stones?
01:00:26I mean, heck.
01:00:27I didn't pass my nurse's exam.
01:00:28They didn't even ask me.
01:00:29Andrew!
01:00:30Who am I to cast stones?
01:00:31I mean, heck.
01:00:32I didn't pass my nurse's exam.
01:00:36They didn't even ask me.
01:00:46Andrew?
01:00:47Did I hear the bell?
01:00:50Oh, hello.
01:00:51I'm Samuel Bormanis.
01:00:52I'm here to see Andrew.
01:00:53Oh, okay.
01:00:54Are you a friend of Andrew's?
01:00:55I'm his lawyer.
01:00:56His lawyer.
01:00:57Well, why on earth would Andrew need a lawyer?
01:00:59There you go, Sam.
01:01:03Honey, what happened to your face?
01:01:08You hit me. Don't you remember?
01:01:14For the record, I did not punch my son.
01:01:16I slapped him with an open palm.
01:01:18Yeah, but Mom, the thing is, when you drink,
01:01:21you don't know your own strength.
01:01:23This is ridiculous. Can't you see this as a performance?
01:01:26Mrs. Vandekamp, I've heard enough.
01:01:28Clearly, this environment is a highly dysfunctional one.
01:01:30Andrew has retained my services
01:01:32in order to pursue a healthier living situation.
01:01:35And what might that be?
01:01:36I, um, I want to be emancipated.
01:01:39Emancipated?
01:01:40As an emancipated minor, Andrew would be able to live on his own.
01:01:43He'd still go to school, of course,
01:01:45but he'd be released from all adult supervision.
01:01:47Well, that's the silliest thing I've ever heard of.
01:01:51How would he support himself?
01:01:53Well, he'd be in complete control of his own finances.
01:01:55So that's what this is about, your trust fund.
01:02:01Obviously, we'd all prefer not to go to family court,
01:02:06but with the violence and your DUI charge, it could get ugly.
01:02:11Uh, Mr. Bromanis, I'll need a little time to think about this.
01:02:15You have 24 hours.
01:02:26Boy, it really looks like we're having a good time.
01:02:28I sure hope this works.
01:02:30As long as they don't make me play guitar, I think we're home free.
01:02:33Mr. and Mrs. Solis, Rhoda can see you now.
01:02:50Wow!
01:02:51It looks like you spend lots of time with these kids.
01:02:54We take our roles as godparents very seriously.
01:02:56Don't we, honey?
01:02:57Mm-hmm.
01:02:58Yes.
01:02:59They're precious.
01:03:00What are their names?
01:03:03Parker and, uh, Porter, uh, and, uh, well, they're all peas.
01:03:13It is super cute.
01:03:15One sec.
01:03:16Do you need me, Helen?
01:03:18Hello, Gabrielle.
01:03:20Carlos.
01:03:23I didn't know you were adopting.
01:03:28Preston!
01:03:29The other one's name is Preston.
01:03:32Helen, you work here.
01:03:34You all know each other?
01:03:35What a small world.
01:03:37It sure is.
01:03:38Mrs. Solis hired my son to do her yard work.
01:03:41And also, she would rape him.
01:03:43Okay, first of all, it was statutory.
01:03:46And it happened so long ago.
01:03:48Was it?
01:03:49I think it was only about a year ago.
01:03:51No, it was a year because it was right before your husband
01:03:54went to prison on slave labor charges.
01:03:57Rhoda, if you don't mind, I think I'll handle the Solis case myself.
01:04:01I'd like to make it my top priority.
01:04:03Okay.
01:04:04Oh, end up, Gabrielle.
01:04:05Don't bother trying to contact any other adoption agencies in the area.
01:04:09I'll make sure they know all about you.
01:04:12Don't you?
01:04:20I think I have to break up with Dr. Ron.
01:04:22What?
01:04:23Why?
01:04:24Because he's a gem.
01:04:25And apparently he loves me.
01:04:28I'm sorry.
01:04:29I'm not following.
01:04:30Lynette, he is everything I could possibly want in a boyfriend.
01:04:33And I just don't know if I feel that spark.
01:04:37You know, and I really want to.
01:04:39Ah, sweetie.
01:04:40And he keeps telling me how special I am and how much I mean to him.
01:04:43How he wants to hold my beating heart in his hand.
01:04:46Ew.
01:04:47Maybe it's because I just haven't felt that thunderbolt yet.
01:04:51You know, with Mike it hit me.
01:04:53With Carl it hit me.
01:04:54I didn't have to worry about how I felt because the thunderbolt told me.
01:04:57Yeah, yeah.
01:05:00Gotta love the thunderbolt.
01:05:01Do I though?
01:05:02I mean I do.
01:05:03But I don't trust it anymore.
01:05:04You know, those relationships turned out to be disasters.
01:05:07Maybe I should stick it out with Dr. Ron and I should try heading down a road that's growing and slower into a sort of kind of love that would sustain itself for 50 years.
01:05:16Right?
01:05:17Stability, comfort, endurance.
01:05:18I deserve that.
01:05:19Oh, yes.
01:05:20Of course you do.
01:05:23Still, you gotta love the thunderbolt.
01:05:28That's not helpful.
01:05:29Sorry.
01:05:30Ah, this is a sign.
01:05:31Will you shut up?
01:05:32We lost a baby, found out we can't conceive another one, and ran into Helen Roland at an adoption agency. God is obviously trying to tell us something.
01:05:42Carlos, we're Catholics, okay? God is pretty Johnny OneNote on the whole subject of procreation.
01:05:47And will you stop with this defeatist attitude? Okay, do you want a baby or not?
01:05:51I think it's time that we face reality. We're bad people and we probably don't even deserve to be parents.
01:05:55Well then, who the hell does? I mean look at all the idiots popping out kids. Okay?
01:06:00They're not any more qualified than we are.
01:06:03I don't know.
01:06:04Look, Carlos, it doesn't matter what we've done in our past.
01:06:08Being a parent means rising to the occasion, and that's exactly what we're gonna do when we bring our baby home.
01:06:15This is the first time I really felt like you wanted to have a baby.
01:06:21Well, this is the first time someone told me I couldn't have one.
01:06:24Okay, so what are we gonna do?
01:06:30I mean, no adoption agency is gonna touch us now.
01:06:34There are ways to get babies, Carlos.
01:06:36It just might cost us.
01:06:42I have some contacts in the police department.
01:06:44I've been making calls but I can't seem to get a straight answer about your dad.
01:06:47I don't understand. How do they just lose somebody?
01:06:49They don't. Not by accident.
01:06:52But I don't think what happened to your dad was an accident.
01:06:55What was that supposed to mean?
01:06:57Zach!
01:07:01Ms. Toomey.
01:07:02Hello, Zachary.
01:07:03You look terrible.
01:07:05Oh, Mr. Delfino.
01:07:08Isn't this just a picture?
01:07:09Alicia, why are you here?
01:07:11Young Zachary and I didn't exactly part on the best of terms.
01:07:17In fact, when the weather's damp, I'm still reminded of our last goodbye.
01:07:22But forgive and forget, that's my motto.
01:07:25Macaroon.
01:07:41You all right?
01:08:01Zach.
01:08:03You all right?
01:08:11How did you know I love macaroons?
01:08:28It won't end here, you know.
01:08:29No way Taylor doesn't give up.
01:08:30Don't worry about us.
01:08:31We'll be gone by morning.
01:08:32Oh, it's too late for that now.
01:08:34I guarantee you he's got people watching you.
01:08:36What is it with you anyway?
01:08:37First you want me to run, now you want us to stick around like sitting ducks for this maniac?
01:08:40Go ahead, Ron.
01:08:42Noah's got the cops in his pocket.
01:08:44What do you think's gonna happen the first time you try to buy gas with a credit card?
01:08:47We're open a new bank account.
01:08:51So I'm a dead man?
01:08:54Maybe not.
01:08:56Not if we use what leverage we have.
01:08:59No way.
01:09:00The old man's gonna be dead in a couple of months.
01:09:01Maybe less.
01:09:03Let him meet Zach.
01:09:05Play the doting grandfather.
01:09:06I said forget it.
01:09:07I'll do it.
01:09:10If it means you leave us alone.
01:09:13I'm ready to be leveraged.
01:09:21Nicholson will be coming in in about 15 minutes with a pitch.
01:09:23So let's grab everybody and make sure we're all on the same page.
01:09:30Hang on a second.
01:09:31Are you ready later?
01:09:35What's going on?
01:09:37I need to say this.
01:09:39Look, I've been giving you a lot of grief lately about being the boss, but it's just hard for a guy to feel like he's not in charge of any part of his life.
01:09:48But honey, it goes back and forth.
01:09:50I know, but it just feels a little one-sided lately.
01:09:53And sometimes I need to drive the train.
01:09:56But look, I know it is my issue.
01:09:58It's my issue.
01:10:00And I will step up and deal with it.
01:10:02Oh.
01:10:12Hello.
01:10:13What's going on?
01:10:14Huh?
01:10:15Picking up where we left off.
01:10:16Yeah.
01:10:17Last night.
01:10:18Oh.
01:10:19I get it.
01:10:20I get it.
01:10:21This is your idea of driving the train.
01:10:23And it's very manly and really impressive, but it's really, really bad timing.
01:10:32You can't be serious.
01:10:36We're gonna be late.
01:10:38Yeah.
01:10:39We are going to be late.
01:10:46Okay.
01:10:48There is nothing more important than family.
01:10:50And I think it's so unfair some are denied their god-given right to parent just because of a few sordid incidents in their past.
01:10:57Now, I may have to explore some unconventional paths to find your child.
01:11:01I might even have to take action some might view as unsavory.
01:11:05But before I do, I need proof that the two of you are prepared to face the challenges ahead.
01:11:20$20,000.
01:11:22Is that proof enough for you?
01:11:26Yes, it is.
01:11:42Nice to meet you, young man.
01:11:44I'm not gonna hug you.
01:11:46I don't care if you are my grandfather.
01:11:47Ah, that's okay.
01:11:49Hugging's not really my thing.
01:11:52Mike, could you wait outside?
01:11:54I'd like to be alone with Zachary.
01:11:56Not a chance.
01:11:58Just curious.
01:12:00Why was it so important you see me?
01:12:03You're my grandson.
01:12:05My flesh and blood.
01:12:07Isn't it only natural I'd want a relationship with you?
01:12:09What kind of relationship can we have when I know you tried to kill my dad?
01:12:13Surely you can understand the rage I must feel towards your father.
01:12:18Go ahead, feel all the rage you want to feel.
01:12:20But if anything happens to him, I swear to god you are never gonna see me again.
01:12:24You only met me two minutes ago.
01:12:27And here you are.
01:12:29Already blackmailing me.
01:12:31I couldn't be prouder.
01:12:33I'm serious.
01:12:35I want you to swear you're not gonna do anything to my dad.
01:12:36I can do anything to my dad.
01:12:37Which dad?
01:12:39You have two of them.
01:12:47You know who I'm talking about.
01:12:49My dad.
01:12:50The man who raised me.
01:12:51The only man I'm ever gonna care about.
01:12:55I swear.
01:12:57I swear.
01:12:58Well, now that the ground rules have been set, who's up for some meaningless small talk?
01:13:18Well, if it isn't the plumber.
01:13:20Here to see Susan?
01:13:21Yeah, I just wanted to talk to her before operation.
01:13:24You're kinda close.
01:13:25She's just about to be wheeled into surgery.
01:13:28You know she's dating her surgeon.
01:13:30Yeah, she told me.
01:13:33You met him?
01:13:34Yeah.
01:13:36He's like six years old.
01:13:38Those for her?
01:13:40Yeah, the florist was having a sale on lilacs.
01:13:43Dr. Ron just bought her the biggest bouquet of roses you've ever seen.
01:13:47It was disgusting.
01:13:49The note that went with it made my teeth hurt it was so saccharine.
01:13:51He used words like soulmate and eternity.
01:13:55I almost puked in the vase.
01:13:58What did Susan think about that?
01:14:02She seemed to be really into it.
01:14:03Mike!
01:14:09Oh wait, stop!
01:14:10Go back!
01:14:11Stop!
01:14:12Stop!
01:14:13A second!
01:14:14Hey!
01:14:15What are you doing here?
01:14:17I just want to wish you luck before your surgery.
01:14:20Oh, that's so sweet.
01:14:23You came all the way down here just for me.
01:14:26Yep.
01:14:27That's why I came.
01:14:29It means a lot to me that you came.
01:14:31Okay.
01:14:33You take care, Susan.
01:14:34Okay.
01:14:37Bye.
01:14:41You forgot to give her your flowers.
01:14:44That's no big deal.
01:14:45Okay.
01:14:52Hi Susan.
01:14:53How are those drugs working for you? Feeling good?
01:14:55Super duper. How are you feeling?
01:14:57Well, um, you know, I want you to know, I said the other day, that corny stuff about me holding your heart in my hands.
01:15:05Well, what I meant to say was, my feelings for you, they keep growing.
01:15:10And, uh, I think, well I hope that you feel the same way about me.
01:15:14Mm-hmm.
01:15:16Oh, hell, Susan.
01:15:18I love you.
01:15:20Oh, thank you.
01:15:23I love Mike.
01:15:27Mike?
01:15:29Susan, who's Mike?
01:15:31Mike is love.
01:15:32Who the hell is Mike?
01:15:35I don't know, but she's married to a guy named Carl.
01:15:37I'm so, so sorry. I should have told you, Dr. Ron.
01:15:39Mike, Mike, Mike.
01:15:42Why are you always falling in love with skates?
01:15:44You're beautiful, beautiful man.
01:15:46Okay.
01:15:48Ready to go here?
01:15:50Okay.
01:15:52Ready to go here?
01:15:54Okay.
01:15:55Ready to go here?
01:15:57Okay.
01:15:58Ready to go here?
01:16:00Okay.
01:16:01Ready to go here?
01:16:03Yeah.
01:16:04Sure.
01:16:07Let's cut this bitch open.
01:16:16What are you doing?
01:16:18Your lawyer left a message on my machine.
01:16:20Seems we have a hearing in four weeks and I want to be ready.
01:16:25Oh, I get it.
01:16:26So, uh, so you're gonna pretend to be sober for the judge?
01:16:29Oh, there's no pretending.
01:16:31I am going to my first AA meeting tomorrow.
01:16:34Of course, I picked one in the worst part of town, so I won't run into anybody I know.
01:16:38Which, of course, means I will.
01:16:40Alright, so what is that gonna prove?
01:16:44Perception is reality, Andrew.
01:16:46And if people perceive me to have a drinking problem, then I do.
01:16:48And I certainly don't want some idiotic judge using my hobby as an excuse to make you rich.
01:16:54So I'm simply going to give up my wine and become a recovering alcoholic.
01:17:00Good plan, but it'll never work.
01:17:04See, I'll bet you still end up coming to court hammered.
01:17:07Oh, Andrew, you don't think I love you enough to give up alcohol?
01:17:13Look, I'm 17, alright? So you can only keep me here for another year. Why not just let me go?
01:17:19Because I'm not done with you yet. It's my job to teach you, and you are not half the man I know you can be.
01:17:27Yeah, well, I've got news for you. This is as good as I'm gonna get.
01:17:30If I really thought that, I'd get a gun right now and kill us both.
01:17:34Mom, we're both so unhappy. Why not just let me take my trust fund, and I'll get out of your hair forever.
01:17:40Please.
01:17:46You're a stone cold bitch, you know that?
01:17:48I'm sorry. I didn't quite catch that.
01:18:03I hate you.
01:18:05You know, the opposite of love isn't hate. It's indifference.
01:18:10And if you hate me, that means you still care.
01:18:13And we're still connected. And I still have a chance to set you right.
01:18:25This is how Brie Vandekamp finally came to change her weekly routine.
01:18:31She still cleaned on Tuesdays.
01:18:34Paid her bills on Wednesdays.
01:18:37And did her laundry on Thursdays.
01:18:39But her Fridays were now reserved for a meeting.
01:18:44A special meeting where she stood in front of people she didn't know.
01:18:50My name is Brie, and I am an alcoholic.
01:18:55And said things she didn't believe.
01:18:57And afterwards, Brie would come home and reward herself.
01:19:05On the completion of another successful week.
01:19:10a successful week.
