- Morning, Addie. - Oh, my God.
Tabs, did you hear about Jason?
Easy, Addie. I-I just walked in.
It's way too early for gossip.
Oh, it's never too early. Especially when it's hot goss.
Okay, so guess who is right over there
waving around his naked finger? Jason!
How much coffee have you had?
Oh, not nearly enough. I've been up all night working
on the Mortenson presentation.
But are you even listening to what I am saying?
Jason is not wearing his wedding ring.
I heard he and his wife,
that ice queen in marketing, are splits.
- This is sad. - Oh.
You haven't even heard the saddest part.
No, I mean, you are sad.
She's pregnant. With twins, I heard.
I'm guessing that it was in vitro...
'cause anytime they're over 35
with multiples, is like, "Sure!"
- Do you listen to yourself? - Why? It's true.
No, I mean, listen to yourself.
- Why are you talking like that? - I don't know.
What? Something is... W... Something's wrong.
My-my tongue.
The... Uh...
- Help. Help! - Oh, my God. Addie.
What happened to me?
Did-did... Did you put almond milk in your coffee?
- Are you allergic? - I don't know.
Okay, I think you're having an allergic reaction.
Um, does anybody have an EpiPen?
Okay, I got you.
It's okay. Do not worry.
Okay, I need an EpiPen. Anyone?
- Hold still. - I have one.
Okay. Okay. Thank you so much.
Okay. Uh, here.
- Okay, relax. I got it. - Okay.
Okay. Okay.
Okay.
What?
_
- Whose tongue? - My coworker.
Um, she was just talking, and all of a sudden
her tongue started puffing up.
Okay. How puffed are we talkin'?
Like, as big as my fist.
Can you tell me where you're calling from?
Um, we're at a Tele-Lively. 11-08 Sawyer.
We're in the second floor break room.
Help is on the way.
- What's your name? - Tabitha.
You wanna tell me how this got started?
I thought she had a nut allergy.
She-she drank some almond milk,
and so I tried giving her an EpiPen,
but then I think I just made it worse.
Oh God, is that even possible?
Unfortunately, it is.
You said that her tongue is just swelling?
- Yes. - And does she have a rash,
hives, anything like that?
- No. Not that I see. - Your friend,
was she under any stress or in a state of excitement
or agitation when symptoms started?
She was up all night working on a presentation,
and I'm pretty sure she was really excited
about Jason not wearing his wedding ring.
Is Jason her husband?
I think she wishes.
- _ - I think your friend has a condition
called hereditary angioedema.
It's facial swelling triggered by stress.
Oh, my God.
Addie! Oh, my God, Addie.
Tabitha, talk to me. What's going on with Addie?
She-she can't breathe. Her tongue is blocking her throat.
Where are the paramedics?
They're still a few minutes out.
- She's turning blue. - Jason, I'm on with 9-1-1.
What happened?
Tabitha, you said you guys are in the break room.
Is there a drinking straw anywhere around?
Wait, wait, I have a straw in my water bottle.
That's perfect. Jason, you listening?
- Yes, ma'am. - Okay.
Do you guys keep silverware in the break room?
Maybe like a spoon?
- Yeah. - Okay, good.
I need you to take the handle end
and use it as a depressor to press Addie's tongue down.
Uh... Okay, yeah.
Tabitha, I need you to take the straw
and gently guide it over her tongue.
But we're not trying to shove it all the way down.
We just wanna get past the swelling.
It's in. It-it's in!
Okay, that's great.
She-she, she's not breathing.
Then I need for you to wake her up.
Addie, come on. Addie. This... It's-it's, this is not working.
Jason, I need you to pinch Addie and pinch her hard.
- Pinch her? - Just do it.
Okay...
Okay, she-she's breathing. Oh, thank God she's breathing.
That's what I like to hear.
Austin EMS.
Step aside. We got it from here.
Grace, um, the paramedics just got here.
Thank you. You were amazing.
Well, you guys weren't too bad yourselves.
Thank you.
BP's good, respirations are almost normal.
OPA's secure. Airways are clear.
So she-she's gonna be okay?
I-I didn't hurt her with that straw?
No, actually, you saved her life.
There it is.
Uh...
My wedding ring.
My wife was gonna kill me if I didn't find this.
And let that be a lesson to you.
Once that thing is on, it stays on.
Oh, that's the plan.
- Synced and corrected by synk - - www.addic7ed.com -
That roast was excellent, Gracie.
You're gonna have to tell me your secret
how you get it so tender.
Just cook it low, cook it slow, Mama.
And then have your husband check it every ten minutes or so.
Well, it was wonderful.
Thanks to both of you.
- That's our pleasure. - What?
Baby, would you look at that?
Now, when did my grandbaby start coloring?
She's been doing this a few months, Dad.
Well, last time I saw her, she was tryin' to get down solid food.
Now she's like a, a little Leonardo da Vinci.
She's like a little Jackson Pollock,
except she can keep it all on the page.
They do grow up so fast, don't they?
Yeah, too fast.
You know, uh, Herbert and Yvonne Carter,
they babysit their grandsons every other weekend.
Well, their grandsons are older.
They're six and, and ten. Charlie's a baby still.
Well, not so much a baby anymore.
Plus, we would like to see her a few more times
before she's a teenager.
Well, tell you what the good news is.
You can take home your very own
- Charlie girl original tonight. - Oh...
What a masterpiece.
Don't you agree, dear?
Absolutely. Absolutely.
You know, uh, precociousness runs in the family.
Mm-hmm. Well, not on her daddy's side, it don't.
Gracie, when she was about Charlie's age,
was already doing three-part harmony with her sisters.
Hmm. No, that's a little early, Dad.
God's truth.
More like father's truth.
'Cause Lisa wasn't talkin' yet, and Ash wasn't born.
She's got you there, Benji.
Well, maybe I got the dates mixed up a little bit.
But, boy, let me tell you,
the three of y'all made some beautiful music.
You know, I just wish that y'all would get back together
and just start singing more like you used to.
You got such a beautiful voice now, Gracie.
Uh, doesn't she, Judd?
Was the first thing I fell in love with.
You know, I don't think I've heard
the three of you sing together since...
was it, uh... w-what, ab-about three Christmases ago?
Oh, maybe five Christmases ago?
It was before the pandemic, and the girls,
they're always in the recording studio
in Nashville somewhere or on the road doing a show.
So, I-I-I can't tell you, to be honest. I don't know.
Well, a father can always dream, huh?
Mm-hmm.
- Hmm. - Here you go.
Rita, hey.
Oh, no.
Okay, no, no, no. That's okay. You stay hydrated.
Alright. No, thanks.
Sweetheart, that was Rita.
She's got the flu, so she can't babysit.
- Oh, no. - Oh, we'll do it.
Yes, we would love to, honey.
No, that's okay. We don't wanna put you guys out.
I think that's a great idea.
That's very, very generous. Thank you.
And I think Charlie would like to, uh, spend a little time
with her grandparents.
Hey. Charlie get to sleep okay?
Mm-hmm.
So, what, you ain't talkin' to me now?
You know, I just don't wanna say something I might regret, Judd.
That's it.
You're still mad 'cause I managed to wrangle us
some free childcare?
You know that I'm not comfortable with him
watchin' our daughter.
Well, honey, I'm not comfortable
anytime y'all are in the same room together,
and I ain't the only one who notices either.
Well, what are you talkin' about? My mom or my dad?
No, I'm talkin' about your daughter.
I mean, come on, babies pick up on stuff like that, Grace,
with all that tension in the air and everything.
And another thing, sweetheart, is you've barely had them around
ever since we had Charlie.
And that ain't right.
You know what's not right?
Steppin' out on your marriage.
That's-that's-that's really not right.
Hey, look, I agree.
Your daddy messed up, okay?
But that was two years ago.
He did it one time, and he repented.
Yeah, to you, Judd.
And to you only, actually.
And that probably has something to do
with the fact that you caught him.
I don't know how long you want that man to stay punished.
Well, how long would you expect to stay punished for?
No. No, no, no. That's a trap. I'm not doin' it.
Okay, I get it. It happened one time.
But every time I'm with my mom
and I have to pretend like nothing happened
and that everything's fine, I feel like I'm lying to her then.
I understand.
But you can't keep doin' this.
I mean, this-this ain't healthy for anybody.
Yeah, I know.
So you either gotta go
and, I mean, fully have it out with that man about what he did.
Or you gotta let go and let God.
Oh! Oof!
Wow. That was...
Oof, man. I mean, a tip of the hat to you.
It was a team effort.
Ooh, if there was an audience, they would be asking for an encore.
I think that was the encore.
Are you okay over there?
I think I pulled a glute.
- Wait a minute. - What?
You have a Rudolf Stingel biography on your bedside table?
How did I not see that?
I think your attention was directed elsewhere.
Did you Google me?
Um, no. Why do you ask?
Because my love for Stingel is a matter of public record.
Oh, and what record is that?
The 1999 Manhattan Firefighter Calendar.
You're looking at Mr. October.
Now, I'm definitely gonna Google.
Now, one of the things they asked me was,
who's my favorite artist, and I told 'em Stingel.
I'd been to an exhibition,
and, boy, the first time you see one of those in person, it is w...
You know what? As I'm talking, I'm realizing
you probably have one hanging in your dining room.
No, it's in the library.
You are amazing. You know that?
You're not so bad yourself.
Mm. You know what?
I'm gonna say something and I think it may sound crazy.
- But... - I know what you're gonna say.
You do?
Even though it's only been a few weeks...
- It feels so goo... - meant to be.
You went full "meant to be!"
Oh no, was that too much?
No. No, it's perfect.
Who-who is this beautiful boy?
- Brett! - Oh, hi, Brett.
No. No, this is Brady.
Who's Brett?
Sorry.
He wanted to say hi to your new friend.
Hi.
I'm sorry, I didn't know that Kendra had a... brother?
Several. But I'm her husband.
You're-you're what now?
It's nice to meet you, Owen. Mind if I grab a golf shirt?
- I've got a tee time. - Go ahead.
You know my name?
Her voice carries.
I hope you don't have a shotgun in there.
Nope. Just golf shirts.
If your glute's bothering you,
you should jump in the cryo-sauna downstairs before you go.
It works wonders.
Yeah, I'll-I'll-I'll take that into consideration.
Brady, come on. Let's let them enjoy their morning.
Come on. Alright, you extortionist.
Sit.
Good boy. Owen, it was a pleasure.
Kendy-Cane, I'll see you tonight.
Um... Okay.
You-you didn't tell me that you were in the middle of a divorce.
I'm not.
Okay, now I'm totally confused.
By what?
The fact that in all the times
that we've been in bed and at galas
and in bed and at dinners and also then in bed
that you never thought to mention the fact
that you were happily married?
Well, it's not exactly a secret.
I mean, our pictures are kinda everywhere.
All the society journals...
Oh, well-well, my subscription to the society journals,
they expired in 1912.
You mean to tell me he's okay with this?
Yeah. We both are.
We have a non-traditional marriage.
Like an open marriage.
Oh, no. You are totally freaking out.
No, no. No, I'm not freaking out.
I'm-I'm just trying to process.
Kendy-Cane?
Hey, Dad. You got a visitor.
- Burt? - Brett.
- Hey, Owen.
Bet you weren't expecting to see me again so soon.
No, I was not. What can I do for you?
I believe you took something that belongs to me.
- She's not here. - I meant my sunglasses.
Ah, yes. They...
Don't know how that happened.
Well, you must have grabbed 'em off my nightstand
on your way out.
- Sorry about that. - No problem.
Happy to share.
Are ya?
Wow.
I can see why Kendra was so taken with this place.
It is really charming.
We like it.
Everybody, this is my girlfriend's husband,
Brett Harrington.
It's Collier, actually.
Oh, yeah, of course. You wouldn't take her name.
I got everything else, though.
Hold on.
Kendra's married?
Happily.
So they say.
Why does this keep happening?
Wow. So, um...
So you're in a throuple, Cap?
Not exactly.
Kendra and I have an open marriage.
We love each other deeply, but everyone knows monogamy is dead.
Is it?
No. But you will be.
We figure why keep beating a dead horse
when you can invite a new stallion into the barn?
Oh, God.
It's all very modern and evolved.
Sounds like wife swappin'.
I don't have a wife to swap.
You're the only one who doesn't, evidently.
Well, I should trot.
Thanks for the glasses. See you back at the stables.
Oh, un-clutch your pearls. It's not that outrageous.
Go on, get back to work.
Okay.
I gotta hand it to you, Cap.
You're a bigger man than me. I could never, you know,
do it with a gal whose husband's in the next room.
There's no way I'm ever going back to that guy's house.
_
Dispatch say who made the call?
Homeowner. He's trapped in the east motor court.
East motor court. That means they got more than one.
That's what I call livin' high on the cotton.
Man, they got their own lemon grove.
That's my dream.
Man, I feel like I'm in an episode of Dynasty.
Except it's Harrington, not Carrington.
God! Get this thing off of me, please.
Alright, fire just landed, alright?
I need you to stop thrashing around.
You've got an open compound fracture.
You can sever an artery or lose a hand.
- God, it hurts so much! - I know. I know.
We're getting you something for that right now.
- Nancy, morphine? - Already on it, Cap.
He's severely tachycardic, Cap.
Get this thing off me!
Hey, is that sunglasses guy?
Yeah.
Cap, is this your girlfriend's house?
Paul, Judd, chock and crib that side.
Teo, you shore up this side.
Marjan, get ready to slide in that airbag.
- So this is gonna be weird. - Yup.
- Hey, Brett. - Hey, Owen. You here for Kendra?
I'm kidding. Can you get this off me, please?
It's what we're gonna do. Tell me what exactly happened.
I was rotating Kendra's tires for her.
The jack must have slipped. Oh, God!
Please hurry.
Okay, hold still.
Oh! I need more morphine.
I already gave him ten mils, Cap.
Alright, Brett, that's-that's the most we can do for you right now.
Oh, God!
I can't do this.
Yes, you can.
Alright, listen to me.
My team is very close to getting this car off of you,
but it's gonna get worse before it gets better.
So I need you to close your eyes
and focus on your breathing, in and out.
Just like that. Good.
Now I want you to think of something you love
more than anything else in the world.
You got an image in your head?
Okay, you hold on to that.
- Cap. - Paul?
Now.
How's your pain level now?
Better. Although I shudder to think
what it'll mean for my golf game.
Hey, do yourself a favor.
Next time, just take the car into the shop.
I will.
Thank you for talking me through that.
Your little trick worked.
Picturing what I love most.
Brett?
- Oh, my God. - He's gonna be okay. He...
Brett, what happened to you?
I'm so sorry.
I was so scared I was never gonna see you again.
- Awkward. - Ooh. For him or for us?
Hmm.
He's got good capillary refill, Cap.
Wound is stabilized. He's ready for transport.
- Uh, uh, can I ride with him? - He's my husband.
Of course.
Hey. You ridin' with us?
Good morning!
Grandparents reporting for duty.
Oh, no, no, no. She's actually still asleep, guys.
Oh, well, she was still asleep.
We're sorry, baby. We just came a little early.
That's okay.
- Okay if I get her? - Yeah.
She'd like that, Mom.
So, uh... is-is my son-in-law around?
No, he's on his shift.
Um, you wanna just come this way?
- I can show you where everything's at. - Sure.
Her fruit cups are in the cabinet.
She has a snack at 9:30, but only one, please.
Otherwise, she's not gonna eat lunch.
Uh, she can watch two episodes
of Doc McStuffins after her nap.
It's on Hulu, so, just,
there's a little green button on the remote, just press it.
Dr. McLovin'. Green button. Got it.
Doc McStuffins.
This is Judd's cell and his work.
Um, this is my cell and my work number.
I think I know that already, baby.
You listening, Dad?
This is not our first rodeo, honey.
We did raise the three of you to be amazing young women.
Now... see, your mother is a wonder.
She is.
That is something I, for one, never forget.
Grace...
Is there something you wanna tell me?
Why do you ask?
It just feels like you don't want me here.
I do want you here, Dad.
Because when you're here, you're not out there getting in trouble.
Grace.
Guess whose overnight diaper was totally dry?
She made a pee-pee in the potty like a big girl.
- Yeah, that's my grandbaby. - Yes.
Thanks for getting her, Mom. I gotta get dressed.
We've got the yellow tail,
California roll, salmon rolls.
This all looks amazing, Chef.
Thanks for pulling this together so fast.
Oh. Okay. Here they come.
Whoa! It's Iron Chef: Firehouse Edition.
Hi, everybody. I hope you didn't stop for anything on the way back.
Grab a plate and help yourselves.
Wow.
Kendra, wow.
I hope that's a good wow.
Uh, yeah.
I just wanted to thank you all
for helping Brett the other day.
I hope it's not too presumptuous.
Hey, we'll always take a little presumption
if it comes with a side of ahi tuna.
Whoa! Is that Chef Emiko?
Oh, my God, it is.
It's like a six-month wait to get a table.
How'd you get him over here?
He did my wedding.
Seriously, guys, dig in. We've got sashimi and octopus
for the more adventurous and teriyaki for those of you who...
Don't eat bait.
Thank you.
Kendra, this is very generous.
Oh, please, Captain Vega. It's really the least I could do.
Babe, they have sea urchin. You have to try it.
What's urchin?
Urchin's what you'd be if we didn't take you in.
Hey, you're not gonna grab a plate?
Got bluefin toro at the end.
Can I talk to you for a second, privately?
Uh-oh. Okay.
Did I overstep?
Is it not regulation?
No, no, no, no. It's-it's really thoughtful.
But you don't like surprises.
Yeah.
Certain ones.
You're mad I didn't tell you I had a Range Rover.
Really, this is more about the guy trapped underneath it.
You're right.
I could have been more upfront about my situation.
Normally, when I start something new,
I'm very clear about it, so nobody gets the wrong idea.
So why weren't you with me?
Because I think maybe I wanted you
to get the wrong idea?
My marriage is dead, Owen. It has been for a while.
It's just...
our arrangement made it easy for me to ignore the facts.
But meeting you... it's not so easy to ignore anymore.
I think you still love him.
I saw the way you reacted when we were putting him in the ambulance.
Uh... A car fell on him. I-I was concerned.
Of course, I was. I'm not heartless.
- You know, he showed up here. - What?
Ostensibly to retrieve some sunglasses
that I'd accidentally lifted.
But I think he came here to size me up.
And you can say that you don't love him anymore,
but let me tell you something, he's still got it bad for you.
Okay, well, he'll have to get over it, and he will.
He'll make out like a bandit based on our prenup.
Look...
I've been through two divorces,
I'm not up for a third, even if it is somebody else's.
And I certainly don't wanna be the reason
that you're willing to declare something dead that might not be.
So that's it?
Yeah.
I mean, I-I think so, um... for now.
I had fun.
I'm glad.
Well, you should get over there.
You don't wanna miss the bluefin.
Going for a run?
Brett, what are you doing?
What's it look like? I'm getting my cryo on.
Should you be using that with your arm?
It's no big deal. It's a soft cast.
And nothing's better for inflammation
than cellular regeneration.
Don't worry. I know what I'm doing.
Like you knew how to rotate my tires.
I was just worried that if I let a grease monkey
onto the grounds, you'd start dating him, too.
You're funny.
And you're upset about something.
Uh-oh. Did Captain Baggy Pants take his fire hose and go home?
Ouch. Kendy-Cane. If looks could kill.
If only.
It's your own fault, you know.
Not that he dumped you. He's an idiot.
But that you caught feelings and kept it going.
You broke our rule.
You got attached.
So I'm sorry if you got dumped and all, but I hope it stings.
And I hope you freeze to death.
_
I was out on a run and when I got back he was still in there.
I think he's dead.
Okay, Paul, Judd, let's try to get him out.
Hey, Brett? Brett, you with us?
Brett?
How long has he been in there?
At least 45 minutes.
It's frozen solid, Cap.
Yeah, I-I tried melting it with the hair dryer, but no use.
- Okay, Halligan. - Yep, flying in.
- You turn it off? - I unplugged it.
There's not an automatic off switch?
There is, but Brett disabled it because he knew better.
Alright, what's the ETA on Medical?
Five or less.
Alright, let's-let's try to get him on the floor.
Get some warming blankets.
Brett?
No pulse.
- I'm starting compressions. - Cap, Medical's here.
Nancy, TK.
How you doin'?
Um, I'm not, I'm not sure I feel much of anything right now.
It's all kinda numb.
Should I, should I have gone with him to the...
No, no, no. There's-there's plenty of time for that.
Yeah, I couldn't stay there.
I know.
Can I get you something? Something to eat maybe?
Um, I don't think I could eat if I tried.
Hey, Judd, can you file the incident report for me?
- I'm gonna take her home. - You got it, Cap.
No, O-Owen, you don't have to do that.
- You need someone right now. - It's fine.
I can, I can call someone.
Call someone from my house.
You can stay as long as you like.
You could use the guest bedroom.
You've already done so much for me already.
Taking me here. I don't wanna put you out
any more than I already have.
Listen to me. You're in shock.
But it's gonna wear off.
Trust me.
- Okay. - Alright.
Why don't you have a seat,
and I'll get ready and we'll get out of here.
Okay.
Hey, Owen.
Thank you.
_
Okay, try to stay calm for me, okay?
We're gonna get through this together.
Now can you tell me where you're calling from?
7-5-4 Drew Valley Road.
Grace.
What?
Benjamin? Benjamin.
Please.
- Mommy. - Grace.
Grace, it's your father. He...
I know, Mom. They have an ambulance coming to you now.
- What happened? - I don't know.
He was playing with Charlie
and he collapsed.
- Has he been taking his insulin? - Yes.
We checked his levels right after lunch. He was fine.
Is he breathing?
Please, baby, wake up!
Benjamin, baby, please!
Mom, I need you to listen to me.
Is Dad breathing?
No! I mean, I don't know.
Grace, I don't know what to do.
Grandma'll be right there, okay, sweetheart?
Mommy, let Charlie cry, okay?
I need you not to fuss right now, and I need you to listen to me.
Is Daddy on his back?
Oh! Is who back?
Oh, God. We're gonna lose him!
Mom, I need you to listen to me, okay?
- Is Dad on his back right now? - Grace.
- What? - I'm taking over this call.
Mrs. Williams? This is Sara Ortiz.
I work with your daughter.
- Where's Grace? - She's right here.
Is your husband on his back?
- Yes. - Good. EMTs are on their way.
While we wait, we're gonna do compressions. Do you know CPR?
I took a course, but it was a long time ago.
We'll do it together.
I need you to put your right palm over the back of your left hand.
Find the center of his breastbone.
Press in two inches. It's gonna take some force.
Ugh. I don't wanna hurt him.
You won't, if you hear a crack, I don't want you to stop.
That's normal. Two count, okay?
One, two.
I'm doing it.
Good. Keep going.
One, two.
Hey. How is he?
Um... He's in surgery still.
- Mm-hmm. - Judd.
You didn't have to come all the way here.
Of course, I did.
Well, who's watching my granddaughter?
You don't gotta worry about Charlie.
Our, our neighbor Julie's taking care of her.
She said she can watch her as long as we need.
We were supposed to be babysitting for you.
Now you're babysitting me.
You know, y'all really don't have to be here.
I can call you when he wakes up.
We're not gonna leave, Mom.
Well, suit yourself.
He's not gonna be happy knowing
everybody's making all this fuss over him.
Mom, we should call Ashley and Lisa.
They should be here.
That is ridiculous.
They're all the way in Nashville. They're performing.
I understand.
But they need to know.
Know what?
You think I bother them or you
every time your dad gets one of his spells?
Mommy, this wasn't one of Dad's spells.
He had a massive heart attack.
And we got him here in time.
I have faith. You should, too.
Are you the family of Benjamin Williams?
Yes.
Well, the good news is he made it through the bypass surgery.
- Whew. - We successfully replaced the artery
and restored the blood flow to his heart.
Praise Jesus.
There was, however, significant cardiac tissue damage
due to the blockage.
You mean permanent damage?
- It's too soon to tell. - Can we see him?
He's being moved to the ICU where he will be on a ventilator.
I should caution you that it can be overwhelming
seeing your loved one like that.
I don't want him to wake up alone in there.
- I need to be with him. - Of course.
So, Doc, when do you reckon he's gonna wake up?
It's hard to say.
If he does, it could be
in a few hours or even days.
"If he does"?
All we can do is wait and see.
I'm, I'm so sorry. I-I wish I had better news.
Thank you.
No, no, no, no, no.
No, Lord, please don't take him yet. No.
Mom.
Call your sisters.
Okay.
So this coffee ain't much, but it's hot.
And I got you a muffin.
And I know you ain't gonna eat.
Mm.
I don't even know why I try.
Where's your mama?
She stepped out.
To help Lisa and Ashley.
So why aren't you in there with your daddy?
'Cause I keep trying to...
get through the door and I can't.
I feel so guilty I can't breathe.
Guilty about what?
This morning I said the worst thing
I probably have ever said to him... in my life.
He was excited to see his granddaughter.
And I said to him...
"Good, Dad, at least you are here
and not out there gettin' into trouble."
That ain't the sweetest little nothin'.
But it ain't the worst either.
It was how I said it to him.
I saw it.
Instantly in his eyes. It broke his heart.
And two hours later,
here he is with a coronary.
You think that's a coincidence?
I do.
One... Hey. 100%.
Babe, it's, it's 60-plus years of...
bacon and mayonnaise sandwiches
that got your daddy in that hospital bed, not your words.
What if those are the last words my father heard me say?
What if he leaves here
feeling not my love for him, but my contempt?
'Cause I couldn't do the right thing.
There ain't no right thing to do in this situation.
There was.
I could have cleared the air.
I could have talked to him.
And I tried.
But I would just get mad over and over again
thinking about Mom.
Thinking about how destroyed she would be if she knew
that Dad had stepped out on her.
- And I just... - It didn't destroy me.
It didn't destroy us.
It made us stronger.
- Mom. - Grace.
Is this why you've been so cold and distant
to your dad these past months?
You knew?
Baby, I knew because he told me.
He told you?
Everything.
That man is not built for secrets.
You forgave him?
Eventually.
We're still healing.
But right now he's got a different kind of healing to do.
And he needs you with him.
I didn't know, Mom.
- I'm sorry. - Hush, hush.
Go to your dad.
Daddy.
If you can hear me, can you squeeze my hand?
I-I've got so many memories with these hands.
Pushing me on a swing, uh...
teaching me how to play tennis.
Got my backhand... strong.
Hugging me after Andre Watts broke up with me junior year.
I know you remember that.
Dad...
you've been there for me.
And I haven't been a very good daughter these past couple of years.
But you've always been a great dad.
And I'm sorry that I ever made you feel different.
You were always kind.
And I judged you harsh.
And now I have a kid of my own that I make endless mistakes with.
But you never stop smiling at me.
Which, you know...
Speaking of which, you were right.
It was three Christmases ago.
The last time the girls and I were singing together.
You made us sing "Smile" for every family member
that came to the house that day.
You never stopped smiling at me and you never stopped loving me either.
And I really hope you know that I never stopped loving you either.
? Smile ?
? Though your heart is aching ?
? Smile ?
? Even though it's breaking ?
? When there are clouds ?
? In the sky ?
? You'll get by ?
? If you... ?
? Smile ?
? Through your fear and sorrow ?
? Smile ?
? And maybe tomorrow ?
? You'll see the sun ?
? Come shining through ?
? For you ?
? Light up your face ?
? With gladness ?
? And hide every trace of sadness ?
? Although a tear ?
? Tear ?
? May be ever so near ?
? That's the time ?
? You must keep on trying ?
? Smile ?
? What's the use of crying? ?
? You'll find that life is still worthwhile ?
? If you just ?
? Smile ?
See, I told you, Denise.
When these three get together...
Magic.
You know, you ask me,
the Williams sisters never sounded any better.
Oh, well, I don't know, I was a little pitchy, so...
Grace, don't be ridiculous.
Yeah, there wasn't nothin' "little" about it, Grace.
I'm sorry. I'm just joking.
- You know it was good. - Out.
- You sounded great. - You sounded great.
Hey, somebody wanted to say hi to y'all.
- Oh, the baby! - Hi, baby.
Excuse me. Heya, Charlie.
- Come here. Come here. - Lisa, that is not fair.
- Give her to Auntie Ash. - No, me first.
Actually, guys, I'm sorry. You're gonna have to wait your turn.
Because she only has eyes for her granddad right now.
- Hi, y'all. Good to see y'all. - Hey, Judd.
Hi.
Daddy, do you wanna hold her?
You sure?
Yeah, I'm positive.
Because you guys have a lot of lost time to make up for.
Hey, boo.
- Hey. - That's my baby.
So do we.
We do, and we will, Daddy.
Oh, now look at you.
Look...
How you been, baby?
Valerian root.
Natural stress and anxiety reducer.
Thank you.
Don't suppose you have anything for guilt?
You have absolutely nothing to feel guilty about.
The last conversation I had with Brett...
was a fight.
A bad one.
What about?
You.
Oh.
He could tell I was upset after you broke up with me
and he started picking at me.
I should have just let it go, but... he got under my skin.
He had a superpower for that, you know?
Yeah, I saw some of that at the firehouse.
And then things just got worse.
We said such hurtful, nasty things to each other.
Saying hurtful and nasty things is what married couples do best.
Take it from me, I've been divorced twice.
Owen...
in that moment...
I truly wished he would just die.
Okay, but you didn't mean it.
The last thing I said to him was,
"I hope you freeze to death."
Did-did I somehow will this into happening?
Kendra.
It was a freak accident.
In no way, shape, or form
do you have any fault in this, okay?
Okay.
Hmm. I should probably take this.
Of course.
Hey, Gabriel. What's up?
Owen, sorry to call so late, but this couldn't wait till morning.
I heard that you and your team
responded to a 9-1-1 call at the Harrington estate today?
Yeah, boy, I've never seen anything like that.
Well, I'm going to need to talk to you about that.
Okay. Why?
When a man as rich and influential as Brett Harrington dies suddenly,
questions get asked.
I think he went by Collier.
He did.
But it's the Harrington name that matters.
Look, are you calling me because I was there
or because I was dating the wife?
Well, that is the trouble, Owen.
You're not dating the wife.
You're dating the widow.
And we don't think it was an accident.
I was there.
And somebody was there before you.
The prelim toxicology report came back.
He had a neurotoxin in his system.
What are you saying?
I'm saying it looks like your girlfriend's husband was poisoned.
We're officially investigating this case as a homicide.
Just thought you should know.
