00:13:12I thought you weren't coming.
00:13:19I just was in the area.
00:13:21Right, right.
00:13:22Come on, let's go check on your surrogate before they take her for tests.
00:13:25No, no, you go ahead.
00:13:27I'm going to stay here.
00:13:37Wait, hold up.
00:13:38Why does she look so familiar?
00:13:39She looked like Vanessa.
00:13:52Oh, thank God.
00:13:53Thank God, hey.
00:13:55You had us worried sick.
00:13:58What happened?
00:13:59You collapsed.
00:14:02Hey, Van, your body is telling you to slow down.
00:14:04Because overtime and pregnancy don't mix.
00:14:09It's the baby.
00:14:10The baby is okay.
00:14:12But look, this job.
00:14:14It's running you into the ground.
00:14:16You've got to take care of yourself.
00:14:19My boss doesn't know about the baby.
00:14:24Well, he needs to know.
00:14:25The doctor said that either you slow down, or the baby could be at risk.
00:14:41Hey, how's it looking?
00:14:42They're both going to be fine.
00:14:44It's just exhaustion.
00:14:45Can we still do the paternity test?
00:14:47Yeah, as long as she's past eight weeks.
00:14:49It's just a blood draw.
00:14:51Here's the updated paperwork.
00:14:52Oh, wait.
00:14:57The surrogate's name is Vanessa Scott.
00:15:02That's my new assistant's name.
00:15:04Probably just coincidence.
00:15:06Pretty common name.
00:15:07Maybe.
00:15:08I've got to go check it out for myself.
00:15:10Which room?
00:15:11Right down there.
00:15:12But, hey, take it easy if her boyfriend's there.
00:15:15She needs rest, not drama.
00:15:17Okay.
00:15:22I'm sorry.
00:15:28Can I help you?
00:15:30Hey, this is a private room, buddy.
00:15:34Where's Miss Scott?
00:15:35Who's asking?
00:15:37Miss Scott, where is she?
00:15:38Look, that's none of your business.
00:15:41Just checking on her, that's all.
00:15:43Right.
00:15:44Look, you don't know her, and you being here is messing with her recovery.
00:15:47Oh, and you being here isn't?
00:15:50I have every right to be here.
00:15:53I see.
00:15:55Getting some quality time with the girlfriend?
00:15:59Get out.
00:16:01Get out!
00:16:02Get out!
00:16:02Hey, uh, did you find the bathroom okay?
00:16:10Yeah, yeah.
00:16:11Who was that leaving?
00:16:12I don't know.
00:16:13It was some weirdo in a fancy coat.
00:16:16He came in here acting all weird, asking if you were my girlfriend.
00:16:19God, looks like Mr. Moore from behind.
00:16:22I'm sorry, who?
00:16:23Uh, my boss.
00:16:24Is that you, Mr. Moore?
00:16:33Uh, my boss.
00:16:36Yeah, yeah, look, that's him.
00:16:38Total weirdo.
00:16:41Yo, Van.
00:16:43Come on, you need to rest.
00:16:44No, I'm good.
00:16:45You should go.
00:16:47Okay.
00:16:47Okay.
00:16:51Mr. Moore, if that's really you,
00:16:53does this mean you know I'm a surrogate?
00:16:57Kevin, did she sign the agreement?
00:16:59I don't think she's awake yet.
00:17:01Uh, alright, let's just do it when she's better.
00:17:03Why?
00:17:04It was just low blood sugar.
00:17:06She'll be fine.
00:17:19Ms. Scott.
00:17:20Good.
00:17:21You're up.
00:17:22Listen, I need to talk to you.
00:17:24You still at the hospital?
00:17:25What's going on?
00:17:27What the hell is my assistant doing here?
00:17:36And why is she going into my surrogate mother's room?
00:17:38Alex, I heard about the situation with your surrogate.
00:17:49You are literally across the world.
00:17:51How are you up in my business?
00:17:53You're my son.
00:17:54I make it my business to know.
00:17:56Listen to me.
00:17:57This woman is clearly unreliable.
00:18:00You should marry Jenny and be done with it.
00:18:02Scott, I've got some paperwork here.
00:18:10Client's requesting a paternity test.
00:18:12A...
00:18:13What?
00:18:14Why?
00:18:15He has...
00:18:16concerns.
00:18:19Concerns?
00:18:22I've passed every test.
00:18:24This is just...
00:18:25Look, your kid's going to be the family heir.
00:18:29Client wants to be 100% sure about bloodlines.
00:18:32I need time to think.
00:18:33Every damn time with her, air this, air that.
00:18:51Hell, I don't even know if it's mine.
00:18:52She take off?
00:18:59Yeah.
00:18:59She didn't sign.
00:19:01She said she needs to think about it.
00:19:03Fine.
00:19:05She can explain it to the judge.
00:19:16Oh.
00:19:18Iana.
00:19:20This is perfect.
00:19:22I got a mother obsessed with legacy and a father who couldn't even stick around.
00:19:34You know?
00:19:35Boss, what'd you say?
00:19:37Why is nothing going right?
00:19:40I mean, even this.
00:19:43Having a child can't happen.
00:19:48Or it can.
00:19:50I don't know.
00:19:52You can be on your phone on a different day.
00:20:00Ben, hey.
00:20:01I'm at the bar right now and the boss is completely wasted.
00:20:05Can you come?
00:20:06I would, but I've got, like, client meeting in, like, 20 minutes.
00:20:09Okay.
00:20:10I'll be there soon.
00:20:13You don't need to lie to people, you know.
00:20:20Stay here.
00:20:21Van's coming.
00:20:21She's going to take you home, okay?
00:20:23You got a strong grip.
00:20:25Just stay here.
00:20:26Oh, yeah.
00:20:27She's cool.
00:20:27Oh, God.
00:20:31Mr. Moore.
00:20:38Mr. Moore?
00:20:39Van.
00:20:40Mr. Moore, are you all right?
00:20:43Van.
00:20:45Alex.
00:20:47Alex.
00:20:48Call me Alex.
00:20:50Alex.
00:20:50Yeah.
00:20:51All right.
00:20:51Why don't we get you home?
00:20:53Oh, man.
00:21:06I think I'm starting to like you.
00:21:10What did you say?
00:21:12I think I'm starting to like you.
00:21:17What did you say?
00:21:19You know.
00:21:35Uh.
00:21:39No.
00:21:39Why don't we, um, let's get you home.
00:21:43Should we get home?
00:21:44Yeah.
00:21:45Okay.
00:21:46Whatever you say, boss.
00:21:48All right.
00:21:50Okay.
00:21:50All right.
00:21:51He's in there.
00:21:52Thank you, man.
00:21:53Of course.
00:21:54No, no, don't go.
00:21:55No.
00:21:58You have to promise me something, okay?
00:22:01I had to stop drinking like this.
00:22:04If you want to talk, just tell me instead.
00:22:07Good.
00:22:08I paid some woman to have my baby.
00:22:11Oh, no.
00:22:12But she's probably carrying her boyfriends instead.
00:22:15And there's no way I can tell you any of that.
00:22:20This isn't good for you.
00:22:38Van, thank God.
00:22:54You've got to get back here now.
00:22:55Your place.
00:22:56What happened?
00:22:57Your place is completely a mess.
00:22:58Just hurry, okay?
00:22:59We're going to have to make a stop at my place first, okay?
00:23:03Uh, I'm coming with you.
00:23:05Yeah.
00:23:05You're going to have to make a stop at my place first.
00:23:16You just wait here.
00:23:22Why am I so obsessed with keeping her safe all the time?
00:23:25Van?
00:23:33Van?
00:23:39Van?
00:23:42Van.
00:23:43Hey.
00:23:44Hey, hey, hey, hey, hey.
00:23:47Hey, hey, you're all right.
00:23:48I got you.
00:23:49You're all good.
00:23:50What happened?
00:23:54I was dead collectors.
00:23:57My dad, when he died, he left all these bills, and I couldn't pay them all at once, so they
00:24:06just, they took everything.
00:24:09Uh, what about your mom?
00:24:12She died when I was six.
00:24:14I'm sorry, Dan.
00:24:15You seem so delicate, and I had no clue this was, who are these guys?
00:24:24Look, I, um, sorry, I, uh, I, I, I appreciate your help, but I, um, I've got this handled.
00:24:34Okay, but what if they come back?
00:24:36They'll figure something out.
00:24:38I, I just need to find a place for my sister and I to stay when she comes home from the hospital.
00:24:45Stay with me.
00:24:50What?
00:24:51My place is like a fortress.
00:24:53All right, you'll be completely safe there.
00:24:56The one his wife mined?
00:24:58Listen, my place is massive.
00:25:00There's enough room for you and your sister both.
00:25:03All right, that's it.
00:25:05You're moving in tonight.
00:25:08Okay.
00:25:15You're welcome.
00:25:24Yeah, just, uh, make yourself at home.
00:25:26Can I put my luggage down here?
00:25:30You don't need to be so polite.
00:25:34All right.

00:50:32Lawyer, do you need to...
00:50:38Let me, let me...
00:50:41Alright, being pregnant must be hard. Let me help carry some of the weight.
00:51:03Hey Nate, what helps with pregnancy sickness?
00:51:06Pregnancy sickness? Boss, don't scare me like that.
00:51:09Just answer the question.
00:51:11I'll send you a recipe, but you gotta tell me.
00:51:17I'm gonna make you some lemon tea.
00:51:20Should help with the nausea.
00:51:26Yeah, good girl. Just wait for me.
00:51:28You're so... thoughtful.
00:51:34Your wife must be really lucky.
00:51:39How about being my wife and making me the happiest man?
00:51:43Don't you already have a wife?
00:51:45I, uh...
00:51:47Love my...
00:51:53Here.
00:51:54I got it.
00:51:55Oh, just let me, okay?
00:51:58Alex, you're like...
00:52:06The best boss in the world.
00:52:11Boss wouldn't do that.
00:52:14Haven't she heard Nate call me the ice game?
00:52:19You know, after what happened earlier, maybe we should get you checked up.
00:52:23I'm sorry.
00:52:24I'm sorry.
00:52:28I can't reach your surrogate to set the meeting.
00:52:34She's good at disappearing.
00:52:37Uh, fine.
00:52:38I'll take care of it myself.
00:52:39Just know I'm cutting your fee in half.
00:52:41Dana's right.
00:52:43Total ice king vibe.
00:52:44Oh, fine.
00:52:57Whoa, whoa, whoa.
00:52:58Hey.
00:53:00Are you okay?
00:53:02Oh, my stomach hurts so much.
00:53:04I'm calling you a doctor.
00:53:06Let me help you out.
00:53:14Well, Mr. Moore, your wife and your baby are doing just fine.
00:53:26Oh, I'm not his wife.
00:53:28She's in pain.
00:53:29Can we do anything about that?
00:53:31Massage one.
00:53:33Thoroughly apply it daily, and that should help with the discomfort.
00:53:36I can...
00:53:39I can manage.
00:53:42Bet his wife wouldn't love him giving me a massage.
00:53:45Another person thinking she's my...
00:53:48No wonder she pulled away.
00:53:51Let me help.
00:53:53Alex, what do you...
00:53:55Just...
00:53:57Let me take care of you, okay?
00:54:03Does that hurt?
00:54:05He's being so gentle and attentive.
00:54:08His wife is so lucky.
00:54:13Um, I feel better now.
00:54:18The doctor said to be thorough, alright?
00:54:20I don't want you hurting him later.
00:54:22That's fine.
00:54:24What the fuck?
00:54:41Boss, Jenny's back.
00:54:43She says she's not leaving until she sees you.
00:54:45Oh, that woman.
00:54:47Just stay here and rest.
00:54:48I gotta take care of something out of the office.
00:54:50I feel better.
00:54:52I'm coming with you.
00:54:55Alex!
00:54:58God, I missed you.
00:55:00Hey, hey, hey.
00:55:02Miss Green.
00:55:04In the office, our CEO prefers to be called Mr. Moore.
00:55:07Oh, come on.
00:55:09We're too close for that, right?
00:55:11You're here for the full catalog shoot, right?
00:55:13Mm-hmm.
00:55:14They're waiting for you down the hall in Studio C.
00:55:16Oh, Studio C.
00:55:17Just like old times.
00:55:18Well, you're coming to the shoot, right?
00:55:23Actually, Van is coordinating this one.
00:55:27Oh.
00:55:29Van, this is Jenny Green, our lead model.
00:55:32It's nice to meet you.
00:55:33Likewise.
00:55:34You're Alex's new secretary.
00:55:35I'm Mr. Moore's executive assistant.
00:55:36Call yourself whatever you want, honey.
00:55:37But don't get any ideas.
00:55:39Alex is mine.
00:55:40Is she Alex's wife?
00:55:41Anyways, I brought you a little welcome gift.
00:55:42You know, to welcome you to New Wave.
00:55:44What's wrong?
00:55:45Are you refusing my gift?
00:55:47No, I put a lot of thought into this.
00:55:49All right.
00:55:50I'm the executive secretary.
00:55:51I'm Mr. Moore's executive assistant.
00:55:52Call yourself whatever you want, honey.
00:55:53But don't get any ideas.
00:55:55Alex is mine.
00:55:56Is she Alex's wife?
00:55:57Anyways, I brought you a little welcome gift.
00:55:59You know, to welcome you to New Wave.
00:56:01What's wrong?
00:56:03Are you refusing my gift?
00:56:05No, I put a lot of thought into this.
00:56:09All right.
00:56:11Thanks.
00:56:14Oh!
00:56:16Oh, Van, honey, you're so jumpy.
00:56:20Wait, are you pregnant?
00:56:22Hey, what's going on?
00:56:24I gave Van a welcome gift and she just threw it on the floor.
00:56:27Are you feeling sick?
00:56:29Wait, Alex already knows she's pregnant?
00:56:32And the way he's touching his stomach.
00:56:35God, is she carrying his baby?
00:56:42Take your things and get the fuck out of my company.
00:56:46You're kicking me out over her?
00:56:48What about the fall catalog?
00:56:49Oh, you wear clothes, Jenny.
00:56:52A mannequin can do your job.
00:56:55But, Van, she's not just my assist.
00:56:59She's irreplaceable.
00:57:03I'm your fiance.
00:57:05Fiance.
00:57:07Is she pregnant too?
00:57:08My mother chose you.
00:57:11That's all you'll ever be.
00:57:13Her choice.
00:57:14And I sent her meddling ass back to France, understand?
00:57:17I don't believe you.
00:57:19Okay, believe whatever you want, but call me your fiance again.
00:57:23And I'll make sure every agency in this city knows exactly who you are.
00:57:27Are we clear?
00:57:28Are we clear?
00:57:33I'm gonna make sure that you find out who your new secretary really is.
00:57:38Executive assistant.
00:57:39Detective, tell me you found something.
00:57:53Vanessa Scott.
00:57:54Pregnant all right.
00:57:55Booth ears the kicker.
00:57:56Off the record.
00:57:57A nurse at her doc's office told Mesh basically a professional baby oven.
00:58:02Getting paid to pop out someone else's kid.
00:58:05Oh, you are worth every penny.
00:58:09I'll send you the money right away.
00:58:10Oh, Van, meet me at the cafe downstairs, or I'll tell everyone what kind of mother-to-be you really are.
00:58:26What are you trying to pull?
00:58:28Pack your shit and vanish, or this goes public.
00:58:33Is that it?
00:58:39Mr. Moore knows that I'm pregnant.
00:58:42Oh, but he doesn't know that you're a walking rent-a-womb.
00:58:46A walking what?
00:58:48No, I don't think you'll be so irreplaceable once Alex finds out that you're popping out a baby for money.
00:58:57Prove it.
00:58:59Oh, awkward.
00:59:01You can't, can you?
00:59:04Fine.
00:59:06Why don't you come to my welcome back party tonight?
00:59:10And then we'll see how tough you really are.
00:59:15No can do, sorry.
00:59:17Got a full schedule of literally anything else.
00:59:21How's your sister doing?
00:59:23Sophia, right?
00:59:25She's still recovering from her surgery.
00:59:28What are you planning?
00:59:29What are you planning?
00:59:31Looks like anything else.
00:59:34Just got canceled.
00:59:37Fine.
00:59:39I'll go.
00:59:44After tonight, you'll be nothing but a bad memory.
00:59:47Enjoying the party?
00:59:48I came.
00:59:49I saw.
00:59:50And I'm leaving.
00:59:51Oh, no, no, no.
00:59:52You need to have a drink first.
00:59:53I promise it's just a regular baby-friendly orange juice.
00:59:54Oh, darling.
00:59:55Look what you did to your dress.
00:59:56Shit.
00:59:57I borrowed this dress.
00:59:58It's ruined.
00:59:59I can't afford to replace it.
01:00:00You know, sweetie, that is never coming out.
01:00:01You could just dye the rest of the dress orange, and then you'd look like a fancy parking
01:00:02cone.
01:00:03Don't touch me, you psycho.
01:00:04I'm going to have a drink first.
01:00:05But drink first.
01:00:06I promise it's just a regular baby-friendly orange juice.
01:00:07Oh, darling.
01:00:08Look what you did to your dress.
01:00:09Shit.
01:00:10I borrowed this dress.
01:00:11It's ruined.
01:00:12I can't afford to replace it.
01:00:13You know, sweetie, that is never coming out.
01:00:14You could just dye the rest of the dress orange, and then you'd look like a fancy parking
01:00:27cone.
01:00:28Don't touch me, you psycho!
01:00:30Yeah, I'm the mentally unwell one here, Miss Assault and Battery.
01:00:37Jenny, this is your last warning.
01:00:40Don't touch her.
01:00:41Don't worry.
01:00:42I'm here.
01:00:46Oh my god, you must be cold in that white dress.
01:00:49Nate, collection?
01:00:51I wanted to surprise you.
01:01:00Pick one.
01:01:01Those are Dior one-offs.
01:01:03That red one is seven figures.
01:01:05Who the hell is she to hem?
01:01:08Oh, Alex, darling, you shouldn't have.
01:01:14I'll just-
01:01:15Jenny, know your place.
01:01:17They're all so beautiful.
01:01:19I don't know which-
01:01:21Wow.
01:01:22Like it was made for you.
01:01:40Jenny who?
01:01:41May I have this dance, princess?
01:01:55Yeah.
01:01:56Enjoy your Cinderella moment.
01:02:08Midnight's coming.
01:02:11Well, and here I thought I had the only surprise tonight.
01:02:14Speaking of which, who's ready for a little adventure?
01:02:17We have something special planned.
01:02:20An escape room challenge.
01:02:22Time to separate the problem solvers from the party goers.
01:02:30Remember the arrangement?
01:02:31Tonight's the night she disappears.
01:02:33I hope we'll be on the same team.
01:02:35Yeah, me too.
01:02:40I'll see you soon.
01:02:52I have a feeling we'll be teammates.
01:02:59Just wait.
01:03:00You'll see.
01:03:10After tonight, you're finished.
01:03:16Great.
01:03:17Everybody to your signed rooms.
01:03:35I wonder who my partner will be.
01:03:41Hi.
01:03:46Looks like we're stuck together.
01:03:48Guess so.
01:03:49Trying to find our way out of here?
01:03:51Yeah, I think there's a clue hidden in this riddle.
01:03:59Do you think that means that there's like a key somewhere in the bookshelf?
01:04:02She's in this one.
01:04:10She's in this one.
01:04:11She's in this one.
01:04:13Uh, his-
01:04:20Alex.
01:04:25Alex...
01:04:26Oh, fuck this, someone said, it's locked, it's locked, oh shh, here, here, here, breathe,

01:05:39how is she, doc, she and the baby are stable, however, I recommend that she take it easy
01:05:44for the next 48 hours, here is something safe that can help with the cough, I'm on it,

01:06:06hate to hear if she got seriously hurt, fuck off, what is wrong with you, you know, my family
01:06:13practically owns half the city, and yet you continue to choose this broke secretary over
01:06:19me, executive assistant, all right, and unlike you, she doesn't need to wave daddy's money
01:06:23around to get attention, or hire someone to certify her,
01:06:28that wasn't me, um, no, your mother, ask her, I know she's neck deep in this, and trust me,
01:06:39I'll get to her, but you, you're going straight to jail,

01:07:16oh, no, no, the baby's going to be okay, too,
01:07:19oh, god, what did I do?
01:07:23Mr. Moore, we need to move on the paternity test.
01:07:37I know.
01:07:402 p.m. at the New Wave building, we need to discuss the paternity test.
01:07:44I already told them no, why won't they let this go?
01:07:55And why meet at my office, of all places?
01:07:59What's wrong?
01:08:06Ms. Scott, Sophia's heart rate's destabilizing, you need to get here, now.
01:08:10Okay, okay, I'm at the hospital, I can be there soon, I'm so sorry.
01:08:13Where are you going?
01:08:15Boss, Kersberg, you coming to meet the surrogate?
01:08:18Uh, you go instead, I gotta go see what's up with Van.
01:08:24I'm here, I'm here, is she okay?
01:08:27We've stabilized her for now, but we're going to keep an eye on her vitals overnight.
01:08:35Hey.
01:08:40Yeah.
01:08:40Thank you for coming.
01:08:42Listen here.
01:08:43How's she doing?
01:08:46She's stable.
01:08:49I hate to ask, but...
01:08:52Go.
01:08:53I'll stay here with her.
01:08:55Uh, what are you doing here?
01:09:12Uh, my sister just had surgery.
01:09:14Um, I'm taking care of her.
01:09:17Is that my surrogate's boyfriend?
01:09:18What's he doing here?
01:09:19What's he doing here?
01:09:27Boss, the surrogate hasn't shown up, but Kevin thinks he saw her at the hospital.
01:09:34You, uh, mind if I go in?
01:09:36Van, this is the guy who barged in earlier.
01:09:44What are you doing here?
01:09:44Wait, wait, you two know each other?
01:09:46Hey, where's your girlfriend?
01:09:48Girlfriend?
01:09:49Dude, I don't know what your problem is, but I don't have a girlfriend.
01:09:54What exactly is your relationship with this guy?
01:09:56He's a friend.
01:09:58He's a close friend.
01:10:02Okay.
01:10:03Uh...
01:10:04I...
01:10:04Van, you're just...
01:10:05You're just gonna leave?
01:10:06I...
01:10:07I...
01:10:07Uh, the photo.
01:10:15The one of the surrogate?
01:10:16I need to know.
01:10:24It's her.
01:10:27Van, she's been the mother of my child all along.
01:10:31So, that guy earlier, he's your boss?
01:10:36Yeah, yeah.
01:10:39But you two seem to really hate each other.
01:10:41What's the story there?
01:10:44You don't remember?
01:10:46That's the guy who barged into this room after you collapsed.
01:10:56It's the surrogate client.
01:11:00Hello?
01:11:02Why'd you stand me up again?
01:11:03Wait, your voice.
01:11:08It sounds familiar.
01:11:10Answer my question.
01:11:13My sister went into surgery and there was complications after.
01:11:16I...
01:11:16I had to come to...
01:11:18Meet me outside your sister's hospital room in the lobby.
01:11:22I'm waiting.
01:11:24How do you know where I am?
01:11:33Oh, my God.
01:11:40Alex?
01:11:45You just got a call.
01:11:48Someone told you to come out here, right?
01:11:50We...
01:11:51But...
01:11:52Yeah.
01:11:54You're having my baby.
01:12:01I'm your...
01:12:02Your baby's daddy.
01:12:05It's really you.
01:12:13But first, that boyfriend story...
01:12:16I've made it up.
01:12:19I didn't want you to know I was a surrogate.
01:12:23Hey.
01:12:26Can I kiss you now?
01:12:32Actually...
01:12:33I have a better idea.
01:12:36I have a better idea.
01:12:48Marry me.
01:12:48Yes.
01:12:49Are you ready for our picnic, little man?
01:13:10Mm-hmm.
01:13:17Thank you for making me this happy.
01:13:19Thank you for making me this happy.
