00:00Previously on Beyond the Gates
00:02A man was just murdered
00:03How can you be so calm?
00:05The cover-up and the conspiracy could get you charged as accessories
00:08Eva's a snake
00:10Oh, it's a mess
00:11Are you sure you...
00:12I don't want to stop
00:13Eva's the last thing on my mind
00:15If you want me, you can have me
00:17All of me
00:18Stay away from my entire family
00:21They come looking for me
00:22Then just say no, Bill
00:25Stop pushing us away, okay?
00:27Because we're not going anywhere
00:30Looking real cute today
00:32Lord, give me strength
00:35So we're doing this?
00:37I have no idea what you're talking about
00:39For starters, you won't look me in the eye
00:41And ever since you saw me with Derek
00:43You're treating me as if I ate the last cupcake
00:45And licked the frosting off yours, too
00:47Do not flatter yourself
00:49What you do with Derek
00:51Or any other man, for that matter
00:54Is none of my business
00:55Look, I get it
00:57Breakups are hard
00:58Especially when you thought he was the one
01:00You do not know the first thing about Derek and me
01:03And for your information
01:04He's the last thing on my mind
01:06So why are you acting so standoffish
01:09Every time I enter the room, then?
01:10I am not acting anything
01:12But since you insist on having this conversation
01:16I do find it interesting
01:17How quickly you pounced on him
01:19Pounced?
01:21Mm-hmm
01:22Listen, let's go there, then
01:24Yes, I think Derek is fine
01:28I never made a secret of that
01:30And God knows that man could fill out a firefighter uniform
01:33And yes, maybe I do like to sample the vanilla side of the menu every now and then
01:38But not right now
01:40We're just friends
01:41But since I see the situation's got you all twisted
01:45For the sake of peace, I'll fall back
01:48That's if you want me to
01:50You remember those mother-daughter dinners
01:57That we had at that little buffet off MLK
02:00Oh, you mean when you taught your masterclass on maximizing that buffet return on investment?
02:07Um, start with the expensive stuff first
02:10Don't fill up on bread
02:11And never ever waste stomach space on lettuce
02:14That's right, baby
02:16Mama taught you well, didn't I?
02:21Why do I feel like I'm about to get hustled?
02:23Can't a mother reminisce?
02:30A normal mother? Maybe
02:32But you always have an angle
02:34Well, now that you mention it
02:38Oh, whatever
02:38So, I wanted to ask you a little favor
02:43Yeah
02:45I know meeting for an early dinner was my idea
02:51But would you mind picking up the chair?
02:55I mean, consider it a payback for all those valuable life lessons
02:58Sure
02:59That's right
03:01I know
03:01It's a very very very special
03:04That's right
03:08Thank you
03:10It's so great
03:11Thank you
03:12Have a great week
03:13Bye
03:13Bye
03:15Bye

07:04Please, my credit is so low.
07:08I need a prayer and a GoFundMe for it.
07:13Mama, why didn't you tell me things were this tight?
07:15We could have figured something out.
07:17No, I mean, maybe I was embarrassed.
07:20I'm the mother.
07:20I should be taking care of you, not the other way around.
07:25That is old school thinking.
07:27Wait, we're supposed to have each other's backs.
07:31Look, don't worry about this, okay?
07:34But, Mama, what are you going to do?
07:38There has to be something.
07:41You're right, baby.
07:43There is something or someone.
07:47Love you.
08:02Hi, baby.
08:02Hi.
08:04Damn, was it that bad?
08:09You know how some cases you can tell right away that it's going to be an uphill battle?
08:14What happened?
08:15Well, I went to the address you found.
08:17Thank you again for tracking it down for me.
08:19Of course, baby.
08:20We'll go to our police connections if you don't use them.
08:22I met June's sister, Regina.
08:27Let me guess.
08:29She wasn't feeling charitable.
08:30That's putting it mildly.
08:32I've dealt with hostile witnesses, angry clients, grieving families, but Regina, that woman's walls are built higher than Fort Knox.
08:43And the second I mentioned June's name, it's like I threw holy water on a vampire.
08:48She couldn't have slammed the door faster.
08:51I'm sorry about that, baby.
08:55But maybe it's time to take the hand.
08:58Take a beat, step back, regroup, and revisit it later.
09:01I can't do that.
09:04June needs help.
09:06And her sister knows something.
09:09Which is why I slid my business card under her door.
09:13I practically begged her to contact me.
09:16Well, the way things are going, don't get your hopes up.
09:19Lovely?
09:22That's what you say about your auntie's potato salad at the cookout.
09:27Being that close to you, it meant everything.
09:33So it was as good for you as it was for me?
09:36Um, you know, Chelsea's going to be back any minute, and those deadlines are not going to meet themselves.
09:43Facts.
09:44I should get cleaned up and showered anyway.
09:46I've got to meet up with Caroline to review some cases since your Uncle Bill's been, well, preoccupied lately.
10:05Oh, shoot.
10:06My bad.
10:07I can make myself scarce.
10:09No, you're good.
10:10Tomas was just leaving.
10:16Well, you two seem to be back on track.
10:18Did my girl handle her business?
10:20Let's all my snow wet sweat.
10:23Well, good.
10:24Now, look at what I sketched while getting my oat milk latte.
10:29I was watching clips of Bridgerton, and I got so inspired.
10:34I mean, just look at those pearls.
10:35It's giving Queen Charlotte realness, right?
10:37Wait.
10:48Hold all the way up.
10:51Did you?
10:54Officially lost my V-card.
10:55What?
10:57Cousin, finally.
11:02Ladies, afternoon.
11:04Andre Richardson, looking expensive, as always.
11:09I'm just trying to keep up with the fashionable ladies of this town.
11:13Well, I better go make my rounds.
11:15I've already been accused of stealing one man today.
11:18Would want Ashley to think I'm making my way through her little black book.
11:26Black one.
11:26Well, what brings the great Andre Richardson down from Mount Olympus to mingle with us mere mortals?
11:35Okay.
11:36Can't a man just want to brighten up his afternoon with a beautiful view?
11:40Uh-huh.
11:41Okay, seriously, though, uh, an old friend of mine had an appointment with Uncle Ted,
11:45so I thought I'd come by to say hi.
11:48Although she texted me to cancel just as I hit the elevator, so...
11:51Oh, well, that's too bad.
11:54You made this whole trip for nothing.
11:58Doctor's able to beg 112.
12:00No, I wouldn't say all of that.
12:02A friend, hmm?
12:04Mm-hmm.
12:04Well, she must be some gorgeous supermodel that you shot in Milan or someplace equally exotic.
12:11Why do I feel like there's more to that question?
12:14Just making conversation.
12:15That's what nurses do.
12:17We're chatting.
12:18Are they generally jealous, too?
12:23You wish.
12:25Maybe I do.
12:28We could shave that dorsal hump, but we need to maintain the integrity of...
12:36Ah, food.
12:38About time.
12:42Hello, Teddy.
12:44Did you miss me?
12:48If this is a bad time, I can come back.
12:54For you, it's always a bad time.
12:57I deserve that.
12:58I'm sure I'm the last person that you want to see, especially right now and after that ugly incident with Nicole.
13:07And yet, you're here.
13:09Again.
13:10Yeah.
13:10Believe me.
13:11I hate this just as much as you do.
13:15Yeah, somehow I doubt that.
13:18Well, I didn't plan to spend my afternoon like this, either.
13:23But life has a way of humbling you just when you think that you're on top.
13:30Well, next thing you know, you are counting quarters for coffee at the 7-Eleven like a college student.
13:37Oh, but you wouldn't know anything about that.
13:39You never had to worry about keeping the lights on, did you?
13:43What do you want, Dana?
13:45We both know this is not a social visit.
13:47I lost my job.
13:52Okay?
13:52I mean, age discrimination, if you can believe it.
13:56Like, experience means nothing these days.
14:01Ben, this is my problem?
14:03How?
14:05Okay, I need a loan.
14:06And I will pay you back.
14:07I promise I give you my word.
14:09And Nicole doesn't have to know anything about it.
14:13Nothing.
14:14At all.
14:15Your word?
14:16The same word you gave me when you swore you'd stay away from my family?
14:20Or when you swore you'd changed?
14:23You've been breaking your so-called words since the day I met you.
14:26Ted, please.
14:27The answer is no.
14:29Not today.
14:30Not tomorrow.
14:31Not ever.
14:34When I said fight for your man, I meant like post a thirst trap on IG.
14:38Or maybe throw some shade Eva's way.
14:41Not go full on hot girl summer.
14:43It wasn't like that, and you know it.
14:45Oh, please let me have my moment.
14:48I just can't believe it.
14:49And what happened to Little Miss?
14:51I'm saving myself for the right moment.
14:53Well, you said when it was the right time, I would know.
14:57And I did.
14:59Tomas and I just had this vibe and energy.
15:05We just knew.
15:06Everything clicked into place.
15:08I'd hope so.
15:10Seriously, that's kind of beautiful.
15:13Great.
15:14Like those romance novels.
15:17Your mom claims that she doesn't read.
15:20So it was perfect.
15:21I mean, full fireworks and shooting stars.
15:24You finally got your Disney princess moment.
15:27Actually, no.
15:29I hated every second of it.
15:35Eva looks mighty focused over there.
15:36Probably clinic stuff.
15:40You know she's working for Ted now?
15:43Oh, I know that look.
15:45Seriously?
15:46You can't turn off your detective brain for one dinner?
15:49Not even for your wifey?
15:52Says the woman who's been hunting June's sister.
15:55Determined to get answers come hell or high water.
15:57Okay, fine.
15:58Fine.
15:58Go ahead.
16:00Break it down for me, Detective Hawthorne.
16:02I'm just saying.
16:03After what Leslie pulled?
16:05Setting Eva up to be accused for a heinous crime and now they're just thick as thieves?
16:08You know what's funny about toxic family members?
16:12The worse they treat you, the harder it is to break free.
16:16It's like you have this invisible chain around your heart pulling you back every time.
16:21Sounds like you're speaking from experience.
16:25Whenever I think I'm done with Dad, like done, done.
16:28I remember when I was little and how big and safe his hands felt around mine and how he made
16:37me believe I could do anything.
16:40Sometimes the good memories cut deeper than the bad ones.
16:44Makes you wonder, what if this time will be different?
16:51What if this time they'll actually change?
16:55When family's involved, logic goes right out the window.
16:58Like June and her sister, maybe?
17:03Well, guess that mystery will remain unsolved.
17:07Unless you just ask.
17:09I assume that's her.
17:13Regina?
17:19You wanted to talk?
17:21Let's get this over with.
17:28Okay.
17:29I'm starting to think that there's something over here that you are looking at, Nurse Morgan.
17:36Well, I am wondering why a world-famous photographer has posted up in my little corner of the hospital.
17:43You know, we're not really giving off the Vogue aura in here.
17:46Well, as a matter of fact, there is this nurse baddie.
17:49Yeah.
17:50I've been dying to take her out to dinner again.
17:52You wouldn't happen to know she's free tonight, would you?
17:56Huh.
17:57She just might be.
18:00After she finishes her shift.
18:02But, you know, she is having a hard time understanding why someone who photographs supermodels would look twice at a girl who's rocking scrubs and sneakers.
18:11Well, you'd be surprised what actually catches my eye.
18:15I'm actually way more interested in something real.
18:18Although I can't front.
18:19Those after parties are kind of lit.
18:20Well, I wouldn't know.
18:25The most lit my life gets is a happy hour in Georgetown.
18:29I've never even been outside the East Coast.
18:32I mean, Georgetown has its charm, but over in Shaw, there's this soul food spot that'll make you rethink your whole existence.
18:40Doro soul food.
18:42Yeah, those collard greens and cornbread got me through nursing school.
18:46Okay.
18:48Okay, I'll see you, Ashley.
18:49So, uh, tell me something then.
18:51If you could go anywhere in the world, and I do mean anywhere, where would that beautiful mind take you?
18:58Why?
18:59Are you planning on shipping me off to be your PA on your next shoot?
19:04I'll just say that you'll be surprised what might develop.
19:09$50,000.
19:11That's what I gave you.
19:12And you have the audacity to come back here asking for more?
19:15You know, barely covers what I'm owed after all these years of raising Eva on my own.
19:22Huh.
19:23So what happened to that money?
19:25Oh, oh, oh, wait.
19:26Uh, let me guess.
19:27Uh, you're wearing it.
19:29Oh, honey.
19:31Keeping up with the Joneses is expensive.
19:34Especially around all these bougie black folk.
19:36Some of these outfits you've been wearing lately cost more than some people's rent.
19:42Are you telling me that you have been checking me out?
19:48And after all this time, I thought you only had eyes for little Nicky.
19:51Actually, I've been taking notice lately for exactly this moment when I could tell you and your expensive tastes to go straight to hell.
20:00This isn't you, Teddy.
20:03This is not the man that I knew, and it's not the man that Eva is getting to know.
20:07That man is a humanitarian.
20:09Someone who believes in helping people when they're down.
20:12I told you to stay away from my family, and you go and file a report against Nicole making this whole sordid affair even worse.
20:20I had no choice.
20:21That HEPA laid hands on me.
20:23Then let me take a closer look at these so-called injuries that you've been hiding behind that scarf.
20:28I do not have to show you anything.
20:30The police report speaks for itself.
20:33So does this.
20:33A single-handedly raised, our daughter protected you from child support payments for years.
20:47And this, this is how you repay my kindness?
20:50You robbed me of my own daughter.
20:53Years are first that I will never get back.
20:55I would have been there for Eva if I'd have known she'd existed.
20:58You sent me away.
21:00Mary, this, this is a chance to get to know her because of me.
21:06Are you serious?
21:07Mary, my God, Ted, under all that anger, I know there is a decent man.
21:15Someone who is actually going to provide for his own when you see that your own is suffering.
21:22One of my own?
21:23Yes.
21:24Say the, the, the performance for someone who actually believes you have a heart.
21:28I'm not giving you a damn thing.
21:30Now get out.
21:32I won't forget this.
21:45You hated sex with Tomas?
21:48Hot bod?
21:49Bedroom eyes, Tomas?
21:50I know how that sounds.
21:52There must be something wrong with me.
21:54Stop.
21:55The first time is weird for everyone.
21:58There's like a million reasons why it might not have been great.
22:01But first things first, he didn't hurt you, did he?
22:04God, no.
22:06Tomas was perfect.
22:07It was all gentle touches and are you okay and trying to make me feel comfortable.
22:12Well, that's a positive.
22:13We love a considerate king.
22:15So, what is the actual problem?
22:20Well, that's the thing.
22:21Everything is technically fine.
22:23My body did what it was supposed to do, but I just felt like I was watching it happen to someone else.
22:32Okay, I'm trying to understand.
22:34What specifically felt off?
22:37Well, that's the thing.
22:38Nothing felt off.
22:40Nothing felt like much of anything.
22:43My body was going through the motions, but the whole time I was thinking,
22:47is this what everybody's obsessed about?
22:49Because I'm not getting it.
22:51Damn.
22:52I can't even imagine.
22:55Yes, thank you.
22:57I'm very well aware of your healthy sex life, Chelsea.
23:01Well, maybe you just need more practice or someone with more experience.
23:05No, Tomas knows what he's doing.
23:08It wasn't his technique that was the problem.
23:11And it's not you.
23:13Okay?
23:13You're just figuring it out.
23:16What if there's nothing to figure out?
23:19Chelsea, what if I'm broken?
23:25Hey, yo, slow down, Mamita.
23:27Where's the emergency?
23:28My bad, but I can't right now.
23:30My mother...
23:31Everything okay?
23:32With Leslie Thomas, never.
23:34But I still have to go.
23:35I feel you, but listen, about what happened.
23:38Brain check, please.
23:39Bet.
23:40I appreciate you coming here.
23:48Though I'm curious how you found me.
23:51I called your office.
23:53Your assistant says you'd be working from here today.
23:55I'm glad you came.
23:58We've been trying to help your sister.
24:01Why?
24:02Because it's the right thing to do.
24:06Although I'm getting the sense there's more to this story than just another homeless case.
24:11You do know she's been living on the streets, right?
24:15Doesn't surprise me.
24:17I haven't spoken to my sister in years.
24:20And I certainly don't plan to start now.
24:22She's, uh, quite a character.
24:28Funny.
24:29Resilient.
24:30Stubborn as a mule.
24:32I know that's right.
24:34Does June have any other family members we should know about?
24:38Look, if you're trying to pawn her off on me...
24:40Actually, may I show you something?
24:44Baby, you sure about this?
24:45How did you...
24:55Where...
24:56That at all.
24:59Oh, children.
25:01Where did you get this?
25:03From June.
25:05Want to tell us who they are?
25:09I'm so sorry.
25:11The work never stops around here.
25:13But I am almost free.
25:14Are you still up for that bite?
25:16You already know.
25:18But first, you never answered my question.
25:21What question?
25:22About where in the world Ashley Morgan would go if she could go anywhere.
25:26And don't hold back on me.
25:28Sky's the limit.
25:30Easy.
25:31Mm-hmm.
25:33Paris.
25:34When I was a little girl, we didn't have much.
25:37But we did have this old coffee table book about Paris.
25:41And, ugh, I would spend hours looking at the pictures.
25:43The sun at sunset.
25:46Notre Dame in the rain.
25:48Couples strolling through Mo Mart holding hands.
25:52That must sound pretty silly to someone who's done photo spreads at the Eiffel Tower.
25:57Well, there's nothing silly about it.
26:00Trust me.
26:00Well, at this rate, that dream is going to end up in that old coffee table book.
26:08But, um, hey, Georgetown's not too shabby for dinner, right?
26:11Can we put a pin in it?
26:13Let's...
26:14Uh, yeah, sure.
26:16Okay.
26:17That's for you.
26:19Yeah.
26:20Nurse Johnson, line four.
26:21Mama?
26:27What's the emergency?
26:30Oh, I'm just fine, baby.
26:33Had a stimulating conversation with your father.
26:37I thought maybe if I could just suffer through another one of his self-righteous lectures,
26:42he'd actually loosen his purse strings.
26:46But now!
26:47Not our did.
26:50For real?
26:52You had me rushing over here thinking something was wrong,
26:55all because Dad curved you on some money?
26:57Why are you suddenly so protective of him?
27:02Did you forget that he left us high and dry?
27:05He didn't leave anybody, Mama.
27:07He didn't even know I existed.
27:09And you still haven't told me why this was so urgent.
27:11Do you have any idea how much money that man has?
27:16He could actually buy his own island.
27:21But, now, now, now,
27:22he doesn't want to spare a dime for the woman who raised his child.
27:27But it's all good.
27:30I've had an epiphany.
27:33I'm almost afraid to ask, but what kind?
27:37You are going to ask him for a loan.
27:42Come again?
27:44Sweetie, think about it.
27:46Ted would never say no to his precious, long-lost daughter.
27:51Especially after all the time he missed.
27:54But I don't need money.
27:57Everybody needs money, honey.
28:00Especially Ted's kind of money.
28:03But, really, it's not for you anyway.
28:07It's for your broke-ass mama.
28:11You mind telling us about the picture?
28:13I can do you one better.
28:19I kept it.
28:21I know I kept it.
28:25Yes, right here.
28:33You have the same picture.
28:34Wait, so you know these kids?
28:38I haven't seen those babies in years.
28:43Ron and Cecile.
28:46Ron would be picking out colleges soon.
28:49But what is their connection to June?
28:51Why does she carry that picture everywhere?
28:53They were June's children until she decided motherhood wasn't for her.
29:01June has children.
29:03Had.
29:04Had children.
29:06Beautiful, sweet babies who deserve better than what she gave them.
29:11Which was nothing.
29:13Less than nothing, actually.
29:14What happened to them?
29:16What happens to any children when their mother walks away from them?
29:20The system got them.
29:23And that was that.
29:24Okay, so let me get this straight.
29:30You want me to finesse Ted for money
29:33just so I can hand it right over to you?
29:37Oh, work with me, sweetie.
29:40You are so much smarter than this.
29:43You are my daughter.
29:45Stop.
29:46You always do this.
29:48Do what?
29:49Remind you of your obligations?
29:51It is the daughter's sacred duty to look out for her mom.
29:54The same mama who was just at Orphie Jean saying exactly the opposite.
29:59What's next?
30:00Telling me you'll sleep under a bridge if I don't help out?
30:03Oh, no, baby.
30:04God, no.
30:04Nothing that basic.
30:06No, I would actually come to your lovely hotel suite
30:11and stay there with you.
30:13Won't that be cozy?
30:17Come on, sweetie.
30:19Work your magic.
30:21Mama needs to keep these lights on.
30:29Hi.
30:31For Nurse Morgan.
30:33That would be Miss Fing right there.
30:35Hi.
30:37Hey.
30:38Thank you.
30:39Of course.
30:45Well, girl, are you going to open it?
30:46Not with you hovering like that.
30:48Oh.
30:49Are you scared I might snatch that, too,
30:51since apparently that's what I did?
30:52Oh.
30:55Oh.
31:02Oh.
31:03Bonne nuit, Shetty.
31:05My place as soon as you can get there.
31:08Au revoir.
31:09Andre.
31:10Well, well, well.
31:13Looks like someone traded up from firefighter to world traveler.
31:16Talk about someone pouncing.
31:20You don't have a first thing about Andre and me.
31:22I know enough.
31:25Just don't get too jealous when your new fancy man starts hanging out with his fancy supermodel friends.
31:31See you tomorrow, Janice.
31:39Can't wait.
31:42What happened to those kids?
31:44Where are they now?
31:45June abandoned them.
31:47Said she couldn't handle it anymore.
31:50And no one reached out to you as next of kin?
31:53A neighbor called CPS.
31:56By the time I found out, they were already gone.
31:58And you never offered to take custody?
32:02Hell, it all went down before I could even process what happened.
32:06Suddenly, they were adopted.
32:08And the system wouldn't tell us to who.
32:11You think I wouldn't take in those babies in a heartbeat?
32:15I love them like they were my own.
32:20Still do.
32:23There's something different about you today.
32:26What do you mean?
32:28I'm not sure.
32:30A certain glow, is it?
32:41Must be something in the air.
32:44Damn.
32:45I mean, you weren't feeling him at all.
32:47I am.
32:50That's the thing.
32:51I mean, when we're making out, it's like pure electricity.
32:56Chemistry is off the charts.
32:58But.
32:59But.
33:00But.
33:01When we did the actual thing.
33:04I mean, I felt the initial pain or whatever.
33:06But then after that, nothing.
33:08So, the preview was a hit, but the main feature was a flop.
33:13Oh, girl.
33:13It was like watching paint dry.
33:15I was just waiting for it to be over.
33:19Maybe I should visit my gyno.
33:21Something might actually be wrong.
33:23The only thing wrong is expecting your first time to be some magical fantasy.
33:28For real?
33:29Well, you said Tomas is sweet and respectful, right?
33:33Not like these F boys in my DMs.
33:36Total gentleman.
33:37Then give yourself and Tomas some grace.
33:40Sex, it's different for everybody.
33:43Maybe tell him what you're feeling.
33:44And if he's about it, like you say, he'll want to figure it out together.
33:48You don't think I'll scare him away?
33:50If you do, then he's not the one.
33:54But I think your Puerto Rican prince will surprise you.
33:57Plus, you know what the grands say.
33:59What?
34:00Practice makes perfect.
34:02Okay.
34:03I think me and Tomas can work on that.
34:11I swear, Dana.
34:18Oh.
34:20Oh, this is a welcome surprise.
34:23Do you have a minute?
34:25Yeah, I was just working on some reconstructive procedures.
34:29I could take a break.
34:36What's wrong?
34:37Is a cat giving you more drama?
34:40No.
34:41I can handle a cat.
34:43This is about mama.
34:46Of course.
34:47You know, all these decades and Dana is still finding new ways to complicate my life.
34:53She told me about coming to see you and about asking for money.
34:58I don't blame you for curving her, even by leslie logic standards, thinking you'd help after everything was a stretch.
35:06I'm glad you understand.
35:08I do.
35:08Which is why I was thinking, why don't you loan it to me instead?
35:16I can't believe you're really asking me this.
35:21Listen, I know how it looks.
35:25Do you?
35:27Because from where I'm standing, it looks like your mother is using my daughter to manipulate me again.
35:33She's not using me.
35:35Look, this is my choice.
35:40And I'll pay you back.
35:41Every cent, I promise.
35:44It's not about the money.
35:46It's about the hold this woman has over you.
35:49Okay, maybe you're right.
35:51But she's still my mother.
35:53If I don't look out for her, who will?
35:54Look, I know it's your mother.
35:59But Dana is not your cross to bear.
36:03Look, I know Mama plays games.
36:06I know she manipulates.
36:09But this time, she really does need help.
36:13Are you sure about that?
36:16I'm not sure about anything when it comes to my mother.
36:19But I am sure I need to try for me.
36:24Even if it means enabling her.
36:29Even if it means being her daughter.
36:34So will you do this for me?
36:38Please?
36:42You know I'd do anything for you, Eva.
36:54Ah, bienvenue à Paris, mon chéri.
37:08Wow.
37:09Yeah.
37:10Andre.
37:11This is...
37:11Hey, you said Paris, where's your dream, right?
37:14And dreams, they're kind of my specialty.
37:17You can see.
37:17Now, it's not quite the sin, but, uh, I figured we could start here.
37:22Until you get ready for the real thing.
37:25This is the most incredible thing anyone's ever done for me.
37:29I can't believe you pulled this all together.
37:33Hey, you deserve incredible things, Ashley Morgan.
37:35Now, why don't you sit here and let your personal tour guide show you what you've been missing.
37:44I did everything.
37:48Hired a PI.
37:50Called adoption agencies until they knew my voice.
37:53Even had my church pray on it.
37:58But closed adoptions means closed doors.
38:02It was like those babies just vanished into thin air.
38:06So you never stopped looking for them?
38:09How could I?
38:12Ron used to call me Auntie Gigi.
38:15And Cecile, she would climb into my lap every Sunday after church.
38:21Fall asleep while I read to her.
38:23So this isn't just about family obligations.
38:27You really love those children.
38:30And I always will.
38:32I will never forgive June for throwing them away like they meant nothing.
38:36Like they weren't worth fighting for.
38:43Regina?
38:47Oh, my God.
38:53Beyond the Gates.
38:56A musical celebration.
38:58Hit some dramatic notes.
39:00How is she thinking coming here?
39:02You are causing a scene.
39:05Oh, my God.
39:07New Beyond the Gates.
39:08CBS Weekdays.
