00:00This is the second time I caught you creeping in my mom's things.
00:06Give me a second, Kat. I need to close this.
00:08What did you just delete? What are you hiding?
00:12Nothing. You seem upset.
00:15Not upset. Astute.
00:17Laura usually does her work at the home office.
00:20Why are you in my mom's hospital office, alone, messing around with her computer?
00:26It's called working. I'm calling it messy.
00:29The Duprees have a family motto.
00:31Fool me once, it's on me.
00:33Fool me twice, it's your funeral.
00:37I was just staring at this stack of legal briefs, thinking I'd rather be staring at Detective Jacob Hawthorne in his briefs.
01:06I love the way you think, woman.
01:08Let the record show, though, you're the one who caved and called after we just saw each other.
01:13But we weren't alone.
01:15How much longer do you have to work?
01:17It's hard to say.
01:20Listen, Naomi, you know I love you, right?
01:29Hamilton. Er, Miss Dupree.
01:33Forgive me. What should I call you?
01:35Thirsty.
01:37Yes, ma'am. The usual?
01:41Time to embrace the unusual.
01:45Surprise me.
01:47You got it.
01:59No consequences.
02:02Nothing to lose.
02:05You can burn yourself right now.
02:08You can burn yourself right now.
02:11No consequences.
02:14Nothing to lose.
02:17You can burn yourself right now.
02:29You can burn yourself right now.
02:32You can burn yourself right now.
02:35You can burn yourself right now.
02:38You can burn yourself right now.
02:41You can burn yourself right now.
02:44You can burn yourself right now.
02:47You can burn yourself right now.
02:50You can burn yourself right now.
02:53You can burn yourself right now.
02:56You can burn yourself right now.
02:57You can burn yourself right now.
03:00You can burn yourself right now.
03:03You can burn yourself right now.
03:06You can burn yourself right now.
03:12Hey, it's Chelsea. Leave a message.
03:14But while you're leaving it, please note that I probably won't ever hear it.
03:16Text me.
03:18Chelsea Bear. It's Momager Bear.
03:21Your presence is requested tonight at your grandparents'
03:24I have something earth-shaking to share and you're going to want to hear it in person.
03:35I need you to know that there's nothing and no one above you and I would never ever
03:41intentionally cause you a moment of pain. You think I don't know that? Yes.
03:46I needed you to hear it and I needed to say it. I love you something fierce Naomi. I love you more.
04:04Why do I feel like I wandered into one of those fancy shops where the sales people eye me like
04:08I have sticky fingers? Victim act. Good pivot. Might have worked if I didn't see you just blank
04:13that screen. I blanked the screen because even though you're Dr. Richardson's daughter you
04:17aren't authorized. Exactly. I can't see those files and I related to her. You just hung up your apron
04:25at the salon but you have full access? Don't even. Mom's still here. Let's ask her.
04:37Nicole is probably not answering because she's still in the psych unit finishing up her rounds.
04:41Now if you want to go run and whine to your mommy go right ahead. And while I'm gone you'll bolt?
04:47Since I'm not the one with the issue I'll stick around and make sure nothing conflicts with that
04:51big award ceremony she has coming up. Everything's all set with that. Except for last minute details.
04:58You're right. I'm new to all this but I am not new to scoping out a client's needs.
05:04Just give me a break Kat. I'm trying to make the most out of the opportunity Nicole so graciously
05:10gave me. Nah I'm not buying it. Mom should be out of her rounds by now. We'll both be back and see
05:18what you're really about. I didn't come looking for this job. It got dropped in my lap by some
05:25random curveball. You're saying Laura getting slammed by that biker is your lucky day? Stop
05:31twisting everything. I've got no beef with you but you seem to be gunning for me. Maybe you should
05:38ask yourself why. Oh I know exactly why and now my mother will know too.
05:49There's my award winner. They haven't given it to me yet and who knows if they still will
05:54now that the Dupree name is synonymous with wielding a deadly weapon. You're synonymous with
05:59grace, brains and beauty. For instance the curve of your neck and the taste of your...
06:09Dad stop. Remember where we are. Remember who loves you.
06:15Nurse you go to ICU.
06:32I have one more patient to see. And I have a few files to update. Meet me in my office when you're done.
06:38Oh how much of that smush did you have to witness? You don't have to be embarrassed
06:42when your husband's being romantic like that. Some of us would kill to have what you've got.
06:50Mom I've been looking all over for you. You will never guess what that Queen of Locks did.
06:54Queen of Locks? You mean Eva? Do you have another hairdresser on your payroll?
07:00I didn't need to see the video. I was there George.
07:06Thank you for your concern. I know you can empathize with after what you went through with Grayson.
07:15Send Adelaide our love too.
07:20Was that George giving you the business about our girl? I said him straight. How many calls
07:25Was that George giving you the business about our girl? I said him straight.
07:29How many calls have you fielded from the ladies who lunch? Too many. Remember all the calls we
07:35got when Danny begged us to go to New York and start modeling? I thought she had perfected the
07:41art of the tantrum then. She's outdone herself with the revival. If we just hadn't forced her
07:48to go to that wedding she never would have touched that gun. Bill didn't give us a choice.
07:55Bill didn't give us a choice. We cannot go back my love. All we can do is pray our beautiful daughter
08:04can finally move forward. You sound happy. Jacob just called a little while ago just to tell me
08:12he loves me. Mom, I'm sorry. I didn't think. Naomi, honey, never apologize for being happy.
08:22I tell you I am so grateful for the grace I have received. I may hate Bill forever but
08:28after that stunt I pulled I am glad that your father is still breathing and that I am not
08:33dripped out in handcuffs and an orange jumpsuit. So not my color. You know I thought Jacob's call
08:39was the best thing to happen to me today but hearing you sound like you might be a close
08:45second. Well there's more where that came from. When you're wrapped come on to the grams. I'm
08:50gathering the whole family together. Some things are best done face to face. Like what? Oh gotta go.
08:56Be there tonight? Later baby. Danny Lovett!
09:04Vandana! Vanessa McBride, I thought you were never going to get here.
09:11We have to get you a drink. Yes.
09:20Doug McBride, Joey Armstrong. I've seen you around the club. I like to take private meetings in my car.
09:30You ever read that book, The Lincoln Lawyer? Nope. No? Michael Connelly's a genius. You should check it out.
09:42You look a little nervous there McBride. Everything all right? I'm thinking maybe I made a mistake.
09:49Randy didn't think we should meet. I think maybe I should listen to you. Maybe or maybe we should
09:54talk it out. Find out if you got into the right car or if you should hitch another ride home.
10:10I thought we put this to bed the other day. That was before I caught Eva creeping
10:15again on your work computer mom. When you caught Martin and me doing that once you grounded us for
10:21a week. You really think Eva was snooping in my patient files? Well you gave your passcode keychain
10:28to the kingdom to an imperfect stranger. Someone you barely know and wouldn't even trust to do
10:34your hair. Eva is not a stranger. Mona recommended her and we trust Mona implicitly. Mona's smart but
10:40Eva's slick. You think Eva's some type of grifter out to steal my patient files and blackmail my
10:49clients? It's possible. You're reaching Kat. That girl has stepped up and she has been a capable
10:58courteous and effective assistant. So you're just going to ignore this transgression? Alleged
11:04transgression. And this will all soon be moot. Laura will be back at work and Eva will be out
11:10of our lives with a glowing recommendation. I'm telling you her vibe is off. Not just off, wrong.
11:18Dead wrong. You expect me to fire someone based on vibes?
11:26Baby the only one having bad feelings is you. So my opinion doesn't count. I don't need you to be
11:36friends with Eva. Do I need you to see her as a person of value? You should want to give her a
11:43hand up. You mean like a makeover? Because she could use that. You know what is not a good look?
11:48My spoiled brat of a daughter looking down on someone based on vibes. Mom if you would just
11:52listen. No you listen. Just like when you were a little girl. I need you to sit and spin and think
11:59on this. And do not revisit this with me until you realize how wrong you are.
12:07Orderly to 211.
12:12So I've been playing cards since I was a kid. Me and my boys we got this Saturday night game,
12:16small stakes. Anyway when Vee and I sent our kids off to college I ended up spending a lot more time
12:23in the casino and ended up owing more than what I had on hand. So you went to Randy? Yeah yeah we
12:30we have a history. Randy was this scrawny little kid and then one day I found myself on the opposite
12:36side of a bully and there was Randy offering up a punch. We got our asses kicked. And now Randy's
12:45still that little kid looking out for you. But he doesn't see what I see. A grown man responsible for
12:53his own debts. That number look familiar? That's exactly what I owe to the penny. How did you know?
13:05I know you own a casino but... I take an interest in my clientele,
13:09Doug. And they become friends. I can always use more friends. Friends like you.
13:17For my daughter to strut wearing those walking dead rucksacks. Make it happen. I'm so sorry. I
13:22hate to be rude. It's good seeing you handling business. You mean instead of a 45? Yes this is
13:29preferable. I'm just glad you can make time. What are we celebrating? Me, of course.
13:37Grant?
13:45I was just texting you. Granddaddy indulged me. Castiopea was visible tonight.
13:54You see when we've been married as long as you have, I've been able to see you.
13:59Granddaddy indulged me. Castiopea was visible tonight. You see when we've been married as long
14:06as you have, I hope Jacob and I are strolling under the stars too. And I'm sorry for barging
14:11in but mom insisted I get over here ASAP. Oh we got the same vague call too. Okay any inkling?
14:18Good surprise or bad? And your mother sounded confident? Grounded? I think Danny's bearing
14:25good news. Or she's run out of things to break.
14:35I'm here. It better be for a good reason. You look like you just got out of bed. I told you
14:40I was meeting up with a couple of new friends. Emphasis on couple. What's up? Eva. Seriously
14:46you chose this time and place to bitch about the temp? This place because when I was little
14:53my dad used to bring me out here to see the the skyline and beyond or mind for the taking.
14:59And this time because tonight I caught Eva creeping on my mom's work computer. News flash
15:05assistants often use computers. She's my mom's personal assistant. My mom's personal office is
15:11at the house. But her person is at the hospital. Checking out Nicole's iCal at whichever office
15:17is just part of the gig. I've hired and fired enough assistants to know it's suspicious.
15:21And when I told my mom that she acted like I was being privileged. Can you believe that?
15:29Okay I know I can be bougie to the max but this isn't that. Something is off about Eva. She makes
15:37my baby hair stand at attention. Then whip out the gel for five more minutes before she's out
15:41of there. Cuz you are putting way too much emphasis on a passing hiccup in your big beautiful life.
15:48But Eva doesn't feel temporary. It feels like I don't know like she's being diabolical and
15:55strategic. What? Why does she bug me so much? Maybe it's my mom's drama that's got us all
16:04acting out of character. Oh like bringing home two total strangers? That's completely in character
16:09for me. But deciding that the new girl can't sit with us at our table because she wore
16:13combat boots in your mom's office? That reeks of some high school mean girl shiz.
16:18You were never that girl Kat. I'm still not.
16:24Oh uh you summoned me to the top of your daddy's castle where he told you that the world was yours.
16:31We are literally standing in your special spot looking down on one of your mom's
16:35subjects. The assistant. Just pretend for one second I'm right about this. Then what?
16:44Oh I gotta jet. Mom wants me at the Grands for some big announcement. Thanks for coming
16:51Chels. I'm sorry for making this about me. I could give a master class on that. My mom is at the
16:57lowest point in her life and all I can think about is telling her I want to quit modeling
17:02to work full-time on our purse empire. My advice? Tell her stat. My advice? Let it go. We just barely
17:11survived Haley's insurgence and now I'm supposed to be okay with this perfect stranger coming into
17:16my family's life? Not happening.
17:29Ted. Hi. Nicole got hung up and I thought I'd wait for her here. Okay well um I'll just go.
17:37Don't rush off. Tell me how are things going with you? Me? Yeah I know my wife's schedule can be a
17:44lot sometimes. I'm just happy that Nicole after all these years hasn't figured out that she can
17:49do so much better but you're a godsend and she adores you and she's a good judge of people.
17:56You don't have to be so nice. Well it's the truth. Try it.
18:02Tell me what's bothering you? Nothing. See you tomorrow.
18:10Eva I can't let you leave like this. I think I know what's going on here.
18:18Do you leave any couture for the rest of us? I just realized my closet is a mausoleum.
18:23Everything I wore was to make Bill look good so everything's gotta go. I love that the first step
18:30in your rebirth is shopping. Please tell me the next step is something tall dark and fine.
18:36Like gym rat hottie over there? Diego the club's most in-demand trainer. I hear it's because he
18:43specializes in locating the g-spot. So what's happening with you? Things good with Doug?
18:51I didn't know an empty nest meant an empty house. Now that the twins are away at college Doug's
18:56never home and then again neither am I. You okay with that? It works for us. Doug and I are still
19:03partners. The hearts and flowers and sex have long faded but when we're actually around each other
19:09we're content and comfortable and we trust each other not to let anything or anyone screw up this
19:16thing we built. I used to think that about Bill. Just because you've had it on lock for years
19:25doesn't mean you don't need to keep locking it down. I told myself Haley was passing fling until
19:31Bill was about to say I do. Oh there's my cue. I can't be fashionably late for a family gathering
19:37that I called. Wish me luck. You don't need it. You are Dani Dupree. You're right.
19:55Miss McBride
20:02you forgot something. Yes I did.
20:16So how does this work exactly? Do I do I sign a marker or
20:19these hands they might not look like much but they can get me back into black.
20:23A few valve repairs and some stints and I can pay you back with interest and Doug
20:27relax your debt's been paid. I took care of what you owe my casino and for a little extra touch
20:38I'd like to float you some more. Look I can explain. Is it the Dupree of it all?
20:44You got me. They can be intimidating but you belong here Eva. Never doubt that.
20:56I know your parents must be very proud of you. Well sort of. I never knew my dad
21:03and my mom died when I was little. I don't even remember her but I have Leslie who raised me and
21:10yeah she's proud for sure. I'm sorry to hear about your parents especially since they're not here
21:16for you when you've been mistreated. I'm not mistreated. I know Kat came at you before.
21:22Has she done that again? She's just looking out for Nicole. I'm not mad at it. That's our
21:28father's parents. We wanted her to think that the world was hers. I guess we overdid it and it seems
21:34like you got a taste for her entitlements. That's okay. If you ever run into that again
21:43anyone you have me as a resource. You mean that don't you? I'm a man of my word Eva.
21:54Sure. It's okay if Kat doesn't like me but I don't just want this job.
21:59I need it. Are you strapped for money? Isn't everybody? Code blue.
22:06And working for Nicole makes me feel like I can learn and grow and have the same kind
22:10of place in this world you gave your daughter. Whatever Kat felt about you I think she was off
22:15base. I feel it. I was just telling Kat the same thing. Really? Of course. Our daughter can be a
22:24little hard on people especially new people but you just keep doing what you're doing and you won't
22:30be going anywhere at least until Laura gets back. Well I really hope she gets well but I do like
22:37working for you. Remember that you work for me and Kat works for Ted. The only business of mine that
22:43Kat is involved in is the business of being my daughter. She does not hire or fire or even ask
22:48for so much as a latte. I wish I could say that Kat will get over this and stop making your life
22:53difficult but that's not her way. Understood. Any um advice on how to deal with her?
23:00Don't give her any oxygen and hopefully she'll stop breathing down your neck
23:05but you know where to find us if the situation escalates. I would hate to lose you. And I have
23:11some advice. Get out of here. Don't give us or our colorful family any more thought. I'll try to do that.
23:24And Eva, when you get to the office tomorrow make yourself at home.
23:33She seems like a good kid. I feel bad. Why? You didn't do anything.
23:38We need a nurse with trauma, phase seven.
23:47Eva. I have a chance to meet you guys. You can't be here. Nicole and Ted are just down the hall.
23:53I got your video. I watched it a dozen times. If I knew the video would upset you I wouldn't have
23:58sent it but you've got to go. Imagine being that entitled that you think that the whole world
24:04revolves around you and your family. That untouchable. And him looking at her like she's
24:09freaking Beyonce. He used to look at me like that. You waited years for this. You can't just blow it
24:16on impulse. People build gates to make them feel safe. They don't realize that by building them
24:24the whole world knows that there's something precious inside. It's just an invitation to
24:29burn it all down. I'm going to make Ted and Nicole wish they never met.
24:37Hey babe. I'm at Uptown. You want to come join me for a drink?
24:59Oh, no, no, no. Okay. Babe, Haley, enjoy your steam, okay? You deserve it. All right, babe.
25:09I'll see you at home. Oh, and you were right by the way. Everything's going to work out fine.
25:17Better than fine.
25:18I know you're out here saving civilization one pro bono case at a time but I hate that
25:30the world doesn't get to hear you sing. Oh, no, Cran. I'm just happy I get to sing with you.
25:34Are you kidding? I rushed here and mom is not even here yet. Daddy's not late and
25:42neither are you. Your grandfather is certain she's going to show up here a changed woman.
25:48Oh, you don't share his sunny forecast? I think that child of mine might actually be part tornado.
25:54Best case, I'm hoping this isn't a prelude to more storms. Anita, have a little faith. Okay,
26:00sunshine. You might be right since she's never announced her bad behavior in advance.
26:07I will remember that for next time. Your mother meant no harm. She's just worried like the rest
26:14of us. I know and I realize that none of this was fair to any of you. I put you all in an
26:21impossible situation and still you backed me up. That's what Duprees do. So, what's the big
26:28announcement, mom? Wait, where's Nicole? I don't think I can do this twice. She's wrapping up at
26:34the hospital. She'll be here momentarily. We'll fill her in. We just need to know what's going on
26:41and whether or not we need to intervene. Just let her get it out. Go on, Danny.
26:50Nicole was clinical. Daddy was kind. Mother was matter of fact. Chelsea was blunt. Naomi was funny.
26:58You all said it and still I couldn't hear it. I couldn't feel it until today.
27:07My marriage is dead and I am finally ready to bury it. It's really finally absolutely over.
27:22Where's the applause? Isn't this what you all wanted?
27:27I know. I know I've made similar noise before but this is different. I am different. No more
27:43outbursts at weddings. No more bullet holes in the country club ceiling. No more forceful use
27:48of a golf club. I am done with all of it. It's not that we don't believe you, baby girl, but what is
27:53this about a golf club and do I really want to know? Oh, mom recreated Beyonce's lemonade video
27:59in dad's office. All of that was because I was stuck in a nightmare from which I could not wake
28:04up. But today I woke up standing right in front of Haley. Oh, how awkward for her. And Bill?
28:12Wasn't there. But I could still smell his damn cigars in the home that Haley had someone else
28:18decorate where she is living with my husband. And it was then that it struck me in the face,
28:26in the gut, in the heart all at once. Bill is not my husband anymore. He's hers. Mom. And I
28:36told Haley, newly Hamilton, that she doesn't matter to me anymore. Bill doesn't matter to
28:41me anymore. Daddy, you used to say that words have power. And I tell you, when I said those
28:49words for the first time in a long time, I felt free. And that is why I have called you all here
28:55tonight. Because as free as I felt back there, nothing is really real until I share it with my
29:00family. So mom, try me. You say that man's name and I will say Bill, who I know you can't completely
29:09forget. But you can get over it, right? I was thinking about my first runway show tonight.
29:16You remember that? I was strutting and I fell flat on my ass. I laughed. I pulled myself up and I
29:27started strutting again. Like you will now. That fall made my career. Before that, I was the daughter
29:34of Vernon and Anita Dupree. After that, I was Danny. One name, like Naomi or Cindy.
29:46Until I met Bill. I took his name and I lost my own. Danielle.
29:56Yeah. More than words, I know you all need action. Now, I can't go back, but I can show you by being
30:06the best daughter, sister, mother, and woman that I can be. The woman I should have been all along.
30:15And I am going to take Chelsea to heights I never reached. I promise. That is my mission.
30:23I might stumble, but I am back on my feet and ready to strut again. I can't speak for the whole
30:30family, but I believe you. Oh, Mom. Mom, anything you'd like to say?
30:45You're wrong about only one thing. You are always, always a Dupree.
31:00Our girl has seen the light. Can I get an amen? Amen. Can I get an a-woman?
31:09Vernon, put on some music so we can see this strut. Mom, it was a metaphor.
31:13Oh, come on, Mom. Come on, you got it. No, like you said, Dupree's, we need words into action. Let's do it.
31:19It's been a minute. Yeah, you got it. You still got it. Oh, come on. Take your time.
31:28Hey, you get up here.
31:30Oh, you still got it.
31:44Oh, baby, you still got it. Oh, my goodness.
31:49You had us worried for a minute. I know, I know.
31:52No, no, no, more work.
32:03Your generosity is appreciated, Joey, and unexpected.
32:08You know, Randy gave me a different impression on how you would take my request for assistance.
32:13Randy knows I only make an investment when I know I'll make a return, financially and personally.
32:21Investments. We are wielders of fate. You with your heart surgeries, and me with my business.
32:32Wielders of fate, is that it?
32:36That's it. We'll be in touch.
32:41Well, thanks again, Joey. You, you saved my life. You have no idea.
32:45Yeah, I do.
33:06Doug has the worst poker face this side of the Potomac. You gave him money.
33:11I did.
33:12And it's as good as gone.
33:16And you always say don't throw good money after bad karma, friend or no.
33:20I know.
33:24Then why float a sinker? He's not good for it.
33:28Because I want Doug McBride in my debt.
33:34You have to understand he's no longer your friend.
33:38He's a mark, and we're going to make sure he digs a hole so deep he'll never escape it.
33:46Almost done. I hate being late for Danny.
33:49Dr. Richardson, we have a situation.
33:51A trauma?
33:51There's a woman on the roof of the hospital threatening to jump.
33:54An RN tried to stop her, but she pushed her way past.
33:56The nurse said she asked for you by name and will only talk to you alone.
34:00You'll need a couple of orderlies to go up there just in case things get hairy.
34:03Nana, if she sees anybody with Nicole, the woman may do something drastic.
34:06You can't go up there without some kind of support.
34:08Ted, you just told me how much faith you have in my abilities.
34:10This woman needs me.
34:11We don't want to do anything to spook her.
34:12I can talk her down.
34:13I swear I will be careful.
34:17Nicole.
34:19Nicole!
34:25Hello?
34:27I'm Dr. Richardson, but you can call me Nicole.
34:31I heard you asked for me.
34:32How can I help?
34:37I'm sorry.
34:50That's a good one.
34:53Jacob, baby, how long have you been standing there?
34:56Stop looking so serious, Bro-in-law.
34:58It's a celebration.
34:59Danny has turned the page on all this Bill nonsense.
35:02Yes, I am officially done with Bill and Haley.
35:04They cannot touch me anymore.
35:06Son, is this a social call or...
35:09It's a social visit.
35:10Jacob's family.
35:12Tell them.
35:13Danielle Dupree, I'm here to place you under arrest for attempted murder.
35:17You have the right to remain silent.
35:19Anything you do or say will be used against you in the court of law.
35:22You have the right to an attorney.
35:24If you cannot afford one, one will be appointed for you.
35:35Next week on Beyond the Gates.
35:38Sherry, no!
35:39Don't leave my wife the hell alone.
35:41Because if you ever come for my wife again, I will destroy you.
35:44Danny, no one can take your dignity.
35:46Oh, my God.
35:47Wait, Derek!
35:48So you're a congressman who's itching to blow up?
35:51By that, I mean run for president.
35:54Have you lost your ever-loving mind?
35:57You need to get out of here before it's too late.
36:00Leave me alone, little miss big shot.
36:02I've got drinks to serve.
