You ever heard of this new thing called sleep, honey?
There's, like, an app for it and everything.
Well, you know, jury's still out.
Some say it's overrated.
Well, there's no crinkles
in the couch cushions.
It makes me think that you didn't even
stop for a nap.
All right, Detective Lacey.
Hmm.
These look really good.
You lying to me?
To save me from my feelings?
- What? - Like that time you told me
I could pull off that scarf at the Christmas party?
[laughs] No, no, these are--
these are actually really good, I promise.
[sighs] Yeah, well... it ends in a week,
and we still don't have our next client lined up.
I guess the appetite for designing office space
isn't as big now that everybody's working from home.
Faith, honey.
Just have some faith, okay?
How you feeling?
Good, yeah, um...
Not too much morning sickness today.
I think the girls are getting a little wise, though.
I thought about telling them this weekend,
but I think that Becca would put a hit out on me
- if I stole her thunder. - Hey...
they're gonna be thrilled for you, all right?
[doorbell rings]
- [sighs] Janice strikes again. - Uh--
Irritatingly punctual as ever.
Oh, uh, no, actually, it's... um...
- Cathy. - Yeah, we planned
a work weekend. Sorry, I meant to tell you.
It just slipped my mind.
- Hi. - Hey.
- Hey.
Yeah, I saw the blueprints.
They look great.
Oh, that's all Blake. He's the maestro.
All right, you're being modest again.
[chuckles]
[amplified voice] This message is for Lacey Hutton.
Please make your way down that driveway
and into my car. It is crucial
that we are not late for check-in time.
Here, let me help you with your bags.
No, honey, it's fine.
- Stay with Cathy. - You sure?
- Mm-hmm. - All right.
Hey, have fun, all right?

Bye.

- [trunk clunking open] - Hi, Mrs. Hutton.
Hi, honey.
Thank you.
You packed a weekend's worth in that?
Years of practice.
Oh, I bet you clean up at "Tetris."
This place better be the Taj Mahal
to get me out of bed this early on a Saturday morning.
Hold your doors and windows.
Hurricane Rebecca's on the loose.
Becca, I don't think you packed enough.
You see, we're going away for a whole 72 hours.
- Right, yeah. I need my things. - You baked?
I did. Pecan pie. It's a family recipe.
I stayed up all night making sure it was perfect.
Mm, stayed up all night,
and with the price tag on, I see.

Okay, great.

I'm just... I'm a little nervous to leave Cam. It's just...
it's the first time since... well, ever.
Well, Cam's a good kid, and he's got a good mom
who deserves to let her hair down a little bit this weekend.
You sleep with one eye open when you have a kid, Lace.
It just happens.
[line ringing]
- Hey, honey. - Hey, sweetie.
We just got here. Oh, my gosh. This place is amazing.
Cathy, stop it. You're killing me.
- What's going on? - Ah, nothing.
Cathy's just goofing off and trying to lighten the load
while we finish some paperwork.
I'm glad you got there safe. Uh, take tons of pictures, okay?

That is not the face of someone
who's about to paint the town red.

Ooh, she says through gritted teeth.

Do you think I'm happy that Paul's away
on business during my birthday weekend?
How do you handle it?
[sighs] I just remind myself of why they're doing it--for us.
You know, when I met Paul, I had no stability in my life.
He made a promise that that would never be
the case for me again.
He's just making good on that promise.
Is there anything else that's bothering you?
No, no, nothing. [chuckles]
Okay, well, that is enough emotional talk for one weekend.
- Mimosas in ten? - [laughs]

Shut up. Shut up.
I wasn't sure if I should tell anyone.

I haven't told the others.
I-I didn't want to risk it with what happened last time.

Oh! I'm just so happy for you guys!
And this time, I promise things are going to go great.
- This is cute. - Yeah, it's for the bank.

Lacey, thank you for waiting.
I'm Detective Sanchez. I'm in charge of Janice's case.
Gonna ask you a few questions now,
- if that's okay. - Okay.
Okay. [sighs]
What time, roughly,
would you say you went to bed last night?
Oh, about 1:30.
I remember that's what the clock on my bed said.
You went to bed before the others?
Yeah, I wasn't drinking. I'm pregnant.
Congratulations.
Let's talk about Janice's behavior yesterday.
Anything that would strike you
as unusual or out of character?
No.
Janice was just Janice.
Safe to assume you didn't hear anything during the night?
Anything that would seem odd?
No, it was a normal night.
I did wake up about 4:30.
I thought I heard something.
You heard something?
Yeah, it was like a... like a muffled sound.
I... I don't know what it was.
Your friends' statements
didn't mention any disturbances in the night.
They also didn't have their televisions on.
Do you think it's at all possible that
maybe the sounds you're talking about were the TV?
The room where Janice fell was locked from the inside.
There's a whole bathroom separating you guys.
It would have had to have been a pretty big
muffled sound to have woken you up.
Did it sound like voices?
Uh, I... I don't know. Maybe you're right.
- [cellphone vibrating] - Maybe it was the TV.
[sighs] Excuse me. I have to take this.
If you remember anything about those sounds...
give me a call.
- Thank you. - Of course.
[melancholy music]
[music fades]
[sighs]
Thank you.
This just doesn't feel real.
I mean, one minute we're off to the party of our lives, and...
now she's gone.
[birds chirping]
Hey!
Excuse me.
This was my friend's house.
Oh, uh... my condolences.
She-- what does that mean?
That-- oh, that usually means they can't find any next kin--
parents, brothers, sisters, anybody like that.
Janice didn't have any family?
I guess not.
I'm calling because I'm organizing
a private memorial for her, and I wanted
to extend the invitation to her co-workers.
MAN [OVER PHONE]: I'm sorry. Did someone die?
Yes, Janice Morelli.
She worked at your bank.
No, she didn't.
We don't have anyone here by that name.
ADDIE: Maybe you called the wrong branch.
It's the only branch for 150 miles.
I mean, you guys don't think it's weird that Janice
lied to us about working at the bank?
That she has no next of kin?
No one to come get her things?
She really has never mentioned her family,
but it's not really that odd to me, is all I'm saying.
Uh, She did mention that she went to college in Minnesota.
Wait, she said she went to college there?
She told me she was born there.
Hmm. Yeah, it was definitely college.
She always wore that Golden Gophers jersey
every time we'd go jogging.
You guys don't think this is weird?
That after all the time that we spent with her...
all the lunches and the hikes
and the shopping,
that whole time she was telling us different stories?
I don't know that she's deliberately
telling us different stories.
I could have misheard her. But lying about her job?
I just... I just have this weird feeling that I--
I can't shake since that night, that...
...that I heard voices.
You don't think something
might've happened to Janice, do you?
Lacey, have you talked to Blake
about what you're sharing with us?
You know, maybe whenever the baby comes,
you can go back to work
and focus on something that's a little less stressful.
Yeah, maybe.
And you're sure that
Janice is the only thing you're thinking about?
That's the only thing on your mind?
Well, I know that Blake has been spending
a lot of time with his new partner at work.
Really, everything is okay.
I guess I'm just...
I'm still upset about Janice.
I know the cops closed the case...
and I know that it was ruled accidental.
And... they-- they really know that, right?
If--If it was really accidental, like if she fell
and hit her head, and it crushed her skull,
or--or if maybe she was bludgeoned
and hit over the head with something,
and blood went everywhere.
What are you talking about?
Um, just adult stuff, honey.
Come on. Let me get you a snack.
Tell me I did not just traumatize that kid
for the rest of his life.
Whether he walked up at "pieces of the skull"
or "blood everywhere,"
enough of this morbid talk for now.
I have something for you.
[chuckles]
I wanted to give you this to celebrate your good news.
[sighs]
[paper rustling]
[chuckles]
[gasps] Oh, wow.
That's super long range. Not even on the market yet.
I had Paul make some calls to get it.
This is so thoughtful.
- Thank you. - Yeah.
Look, I know you keep going over everything in your mind.
And I miss Janice, too, but it was an accident.
There's nothing more than that.
That's why the police investigate these things.
So, don't torture yourself, okay?
Yeah, I really needed to hear that.
You're right, by the way.
We were really lucky that she came
into our lives when she did.
Yeah, we really were.

Oh, that's right. Cam's birthday.
I'm so sorry. I must have forgotten about it.
I am invited, right?
Addie, what's going on?
Did you remove me from the group chat?
I tried to send a message the other day,
and it didn't go through.
Let's just talk inside.
- [clinking] - [yawns]
[sighs]
- Thank you. - Yeah.
Are--Are you okay? You seem kind of tired.
Party prep. [sighs]
And okay...
here it goes.
I'm a little uncomfortable with how much
you've been talking about Janice's death.
[sighs] If--If this has to do
with what Cam overheard the other day,
I... I'm so sorry.
He is a really sensitive kid.
He has been ever since his dad died.
Died? You never told me that he died.
The point is, I...
I don't want something so morbid being discussed around him.
I really don't think he heard anything.
I mean, I stopped talking as soon as he came over, I--
It isn't just Cam.
I don't like hearing it.
Janice was our friend. She died.
I really don't think we should be treating it
like some sort of a... true crime podcast.
That is not what I'm doing.
Addie, listen to me, there is something that you need to know.
I--I went over to Janice's house--
You went to her house?
Well, yeah, but let me explain--
No, don't.
But there's something that you need to know--
Stop it, Lacey, stop.
[scoffs] Please, like...
...find another distraction, please.
- Distraction? - Yeah.
I know how much time Blake's been spending
at the office with Cathy.
What does that have to do with anything?
Well, has it occurred to you that maybe you've invented
this entire fantasy around Janice
because it's easier than asking
the tough questions about your marriage?
Huh.
That was too far.
Yeah. Yeah, it was.
[Blake sighing]
Blake, honey, will you please stop pacing?
It made me nervous before finals.
- It makes me nervous now. - It's my coping mechanism.
All right? It helps me relax.
Lacey's right, B.
We got the contract.
This is just a celebration dinner.
Okay, this is the second date, all right?
There's plenty that can go wrong on a second date.
It's not a second date.
The ink is dry, and you're overthinking this.
I promise.

Cathy, will you help me with plates?
Yeah.

I should start calling you the Blake Whisperer.
Was he always this neurotic?
He has this crazy idea
that he doesn't have any natural talent.
I think that's why he works so hard.
It's probably why we get along so well.
My parents weren't exactly encouraging
about my talent either.
Well, for what it's worth, I think you're very talented.
Thanks, Lace.
He's here.
Oh, honey. Do you think he got you a corsage?
[footsteps depart]
I was looking for somewhere to start a new firm.
I fell in love with this place
a few years ago when I visited, so it just made sense.
So, Neil, what do you practice? Is it business law?
- Family law. - Yeah, that's a big part
of why I wanted to move to the suburbs.
You know, I could work closer with families
and... well...
help keep them together.
I want my practice to be homey, you know? Familiar.
So, what was your idea? Like, contemporary Tudor?
I know we have a lot of neoclassical buildings in town.
I--I flirted a ton,
but when these guys said classical revival, I was all in.
Well, that was actually all Cathy's idea.
She has one of the greatest architectural minds
that I've ever come across.

- I did it to protect Addie. - We didn't mean to.
Protect her from who? Janice was our friend.
No.
No, we weren't her friends.
We were her job. I was her job.
Which you already knew that, because
of your little rendezvous at the storage unit, right?
Only thing I did right was getting Cam out of there,
away from him.
Away from who?
Kurt. Kurt Gillman.
Cam's father, my ex-husband.
We were married for seven years.
And she has the scars to prove it.
I thought it would be better for everyone if...
you all didn't know the truth.
That's why I kept it quiet.
Kurt, he, um...
he hurt me... the entire time we were married.
...until the night Cam and I finally left.
- You fled? - I kept telling myself
that things would change, but...
...with guys like Kurt, it's not possible.
His brother died, and he started drinking.
And I knew that if I didn't do anything...
that he would kill me.
How long have you known about this?
Since that night at the beach house.
Okay.
I'm gonna need to know exactly what happened that night.
Janice confessed. She broke down.
She told us everything about...
why she was here, about what her job was.
She took me to her room, and she showed me
my flash drive.
Your flash drive?
Toward the end, I had--I had started recording Kurt's abuse.
Audio files.
She needed evidence in case Kurt ever tried to find her.
So, I sent him a copy from an anonymous email
as soon as Cam and I were safe.
I wasn't trying to blackmail him.
It just... it was a warning, you know,
if he didn't let us go in peace,
I was going to take it to the cops.
And Janice's job was to track us down,
find that evidence, and destroy it permanently.
Only she couldn't do it.
She was giving it back to me.
I couldn't breathe. I was so stunned.
So hurt.
This can't be real.
You cannot be working for him.
I was. I was, okay? But I'm not now.
I'm giving this back to you. I can't do this anymore.
- I'm your friend. - You are not our friend.
You've been lying to us this entire time.

If you take it back, it'll all be over, I--
I can leave, I'll be okay, I just--

Rebecca, just stay out of it.

You have to keep our secret, Lacey.
Why does it need to be a secret?
It was an accident.
What world are you living in?
We will go down for this.
We lied on our statements.
We took everything out of the storage unit.
We've been careful to cover our tracks,
and we've kept you from going too far.
Storage unit? It was you.
You locked me in my car.
I'm hearing a whole lot of accusations
and not a lot of proof.
It's probably because you don't have any,
and it's going to stay that way.
Addie...
you can still make the right choice here.
We can still take this to the police and--
No, no. If you think this needs to be
out in the open so much, give me the flash drive.

It's fine. You can hate me for this,
but sometimes secrets are the only way to survive.
I have known so many Kurts in my life,
and if I can stop just one of them
from hurting someone that I love, then I will.
I was trying to protect you.
I thought if I cut you out that you would take a step back,
and then you wouldn't have to even know about any of this.
Addie...
you can still do the right thing, okay?
This evidence, it...
it proves that you were in trouble.
It is not enough, Lacey.
Not anymore. Not now that Janice is dead.
Everything has changed.
Kirk can easily argue away one audio file,
especially if his wife is on trial for killing a woman.
You didn't kill anyone.
Addie.
You are a good person.
Think about this.
I have thought about it.
Lacey, it is all I've thought about.
And a good mother would do anything to protect her child.
One word, and I go to jail.
Lacey, please. I cannot lose Cam.
No.
This was Janice's life, and it mattered.
She may have lied to us, but...
she doesn't deserve this.
- Don't--Don't do it. - Well, she needs to hear.
What she needs is a distraction.
What are you gonna do?
I'm gonna give her something else to worry about.
Let's go on a grocery run.
I'll be right outside waiting the whole time.
Now, hey, no heavy lifting, okay?
Look, Lace, why don't you let me take you out
for lunch after this?
Lace?
Yeah. Yeah, sure.
Come on.

Blake, please.
No, I swear.
It's not mine.
And it smells exactly like your cologne.
Lacey, I'm telling you the truth right now.
- No, you're not. - [sighs]
It's Cathy.
I know it's Cathy.
I saw you guys fighting the other day.
- You saw that? - Mm-hmm.
Just tell me the truth, Blake!
I don't--I don't care how uncomfortable it is.
- Just tell me the truth. - She was upset because
I wasn't going into the work site.
- [scoffs] - I told her that
you were my first priority and that nothing else
mattered to me right now.
She made it seem like I was neglecting work
and Neil was gonna go off and--and shop around,
and I told her, I said, if--if you have a problem
with me putting my family first,
then you can find something else.
- And she apologized. - Blake.
I just--I didn't want to say anything
because of the doctors and your blood pressure,
and... I just didn't want to risk it.
Our relationship's purely professional.
I'd never do anything to betray you.
I found a negligee in our bed.
Nothing has ever happened between me and Cathy.
Never. Okay? I swear. Not even once.
I want so badly to believe you right now.
You know me, and you know that
I would never do anything like this to you. Don't you?
No, I don't.
I think I need some space.
I--I think we both need some space.

Hi. This is Lacey Hutton.
Can I speak with Detective Sanchez, please?
Thank you.
Hi, Detective Sanchez. This is Lacey.
I have some information about the Janice Morelli case
that I think would be really useful.
I know the case is closed,
but I think this is very significant.
Can we meet?
It's 1958 Roselee.
Great.

This is the third time I've called.
Look, I--I know you're probably really upset,
and I'm sorry.
We both have a lot of things to talk about.
So...
let's do that, okay?
Let's talk.
I'm here.
I love you.
[exhales deeply]
Still no answer?
No.
I promise he'll come around.
Thank you for coming over. I'm glad we got to talk.
Yeah. And you know none of it's true, right?
- None of it. - Yeah, I know.
I have too much respect for the both of you.
Do you have any idea where he could be right now?
Oh.
Our new project.
The office site is on Bleeker.
He's been spending most of his days there.
Okay. Thank you.
Blake?
- Neil, hi. - Lacey, how're you doing?
Uh, good. Cathy told me
that Blake might be working here today,
I thought maybe I could find him here.
- Have you seen him at all? - I'm afraid not.
No, I talked to him on the phone earlier,
but I have no idea where he is.
- Hmm. - You wanna...
stick around for a while, maybe have a cup of coffee?
- Sure. [chuckles] - All right.
I really enjoyed the other night.
I can't stop thinking about that steak sauce.
- You gotta give me the recipe. - [chuckles]
I mean, I don't cook, but I still want the recipe.
[laughs]
Lacey, I feel like I have to say something.
I know what happened,
and I just want to let you know so we can kill any awkwardness.
Well, that's embarrassing.
No, don't be embarrassed.
Not on my account.
I feel like I'm a pretty good judge of character.
The time I've spent with him,
his focus is always on you and your baby.
Do you think there's any chance
he's gonna stop by here again today?
Well, I can't be certain, but I'll let you know.
Oh, that's really cute.
Thank you. My son made it.
Your son? How old?
Um... he was six when I lost him.
I'm so sorry.
I like to think we'll be reunited one day.
That's a really beautiful thought.
Thank you for having me, Addie.
There's something that you need to see.
What am I looking at?
Do you know what these are?
Marks?
Heel marks?
Yeah, yeah, but not just any heel marks.
These are heel marks from Rebecca's shoes.
Limited edition imports.
[sighs]
And they're all over the room where Janice fell.
It's--It's easy to miss if you don't know
what you're looking for.
But the pattern on these shoes,
it's one of a kind.
They put Rebecca in the room where Janice died.
They prove that she lied to the police
when she said that she didn't even step foot in there.
Lacey... please.
She tried to make me think that Blake was having an affair.
Addie, she tried to ruin my marriage
just to distract me from what she did.
This...
This whole thing with Janice, this--this...
this secret...
it's just eating me alive.
She was a person.
She was our friend.
I'm really sorry, but I-I can't let this go.
I'm gonna turn this over to Sanchez.
Please don't do this.
It'll ruin my life.
You promised.
I just want to put this all behind us.
But you're not putting it behind you.
Addie, how long has it been since you slept?
Is-- Is this really putting it behind you?
Kurt was so kind at the start.
The wedding was a...
pretty big deal in our town.
They even covered it in the "Herald Gazette."
And then everything changed.
Before Kurt's brother died, they were always arguing
over who would get control of the company.
And... he took all that anger out on me.
He beat me unconscious
the night I finally left.
I woke up, and I knew Cam and I had to get out of there.
This was supposed to be our second chance.
You can still have a second chance.
It was an accident.
And they're gonna believe that it was an accident.
Addie, everything's gonna be fine.
Just play them the evidence that you recorded.
Cam is gonna be fine,
and you're gonna finally be able to sleep at night.
Listen, I want you to go with me to the police station.
But I'm not asking for your permission.
I just hope I don't go alone.
Ms. Kobritz, it's Addie.
I was wondering if you might be able
to pick up Cam this afternoon.
[melancholy music]
[phone ringing in distance]
I heard you ladies wanted to see me. What's going on?
Detective, there's something we need to tell you...
about the night Janice died.
[sighs]
Okay. Come on.
[tense music]
Police!
Rebecca McKenzie,
come out with your hands up!
Rebecca McKenzie, if you are here,
you need to come out and present yourself!
This is the police!
You don't think there's any way she figured out
what was going on and fled?
No, we went straight to the station
after we left my house.
If you receive any communication from Rebecca,
you pass it right to us, okay?
Okay. Uh, what's gonna happen to Addie?
[sighs] She just signed her new statement.
We've booked her, and she's being processed.
She told us what you did
and how you encouraged her to come forward.
That was really brave.
Her son Cam, uh, is with the babysitter.
Cam is all taken care of.
Mrs. Kobritz is gonna look after him
for a few days until...
we can let Addie see him.
- Thank you, Detective. - No problem.
Thank you. Oh! I got you.
Looks like you got some mail.
- Thank you. - Take care.
[ominous music]
Becca! What-- What are you doing here?
Whatever it takes.
- Becca-- - Shut up, Lacey.
How long have you been here?
You know, I saw the two of you go to the station together.
I figured you would eventually get to Addie.
- She's weak. - She's not weak.
You know that. She's strong.
She's stronger than all of us because
she's doing the right thing.
She knows that's the only way that we get out of this.
No, we were out of it, until you went
and stuck your nose where it doesn't belong.
Becca, you're not a murderer.
I don't know who I am anymore.
Lacey, stop! I will shoot you!
Becca, please.
You're scared, okay? I can see it in your eyes.
Just--Just let me help you.
Nobody can help me.
Now come over here and sit down.
Now.
Now!
[gasps]
That's the gun from Janice's storage unit.
Oh, you think you've got it all figured out today, huh?
Can't you see how insane this is?
We passed insane a long time ago,
and we are now at any means necessary.
Becca, this is out of control, okay?
This has gone way too far.
If you had just done as you were told,
then none of this would have had to have happened!
Becca, do you remember what you said to me?
What?
You said secrets are the only way that we survive.
You're wrong.
Secrets are the reason why my friend is
pointing a gun at me right now.
Becca, I'm pregnant.
I've wanted this for so long.
I swear, I'm gonna teach my kid
what it took me far too long to realize.
What's that?
That if you're right, it doesn't matter
if you're outnumbered.
Never be agreeable.
Do the other thing.
What's the other thing?
Fight.
Aah!
Okay, you're right.
I am scared.
That is because I have had to fend for myself
- my entire life. - I know that.
No, you don't.
I do.
And I'm not gonna let that happen to Cam, too.
You have to answer for what happened to Janice.
But you did it just trying to protect a friend.
There--There's honor in that.
[sighing]
I really did mess this up, didn't I?
It's not over yet.
You can still make the right choice.
You know I never really wanted to hurt you, right?
That's not me.
The gun's not even really loaded. [sniffles]
Can I show you something?
He's who we're protecting.
He's the reason why we have to tell the truth about this.
Okay.
Wait, wait, wait. Addie's ex-- what's his name?
Uh, it was Kurt. Kurt Gillman.
Addison, you posted bail.
Okay, what's going on?
Bracelet--the one Cam's wearing in this picture.
- I've seen it before. - Okay, so...
"Herald," um...
"Herald Gazette." Addie--Addie said that
her--her wedding made the local papers, right?
- Right. - She's from Collingswood.
That's Michigan, um...
[typing]
"Herald." "Herald Gazette."
[typing continues]
[dramatic music]
Hey, Lace, it's Addie.
Did you pay my bail?
I--someone did.
Anyway, I just got home,
and I-- I really need to see Cam.
Just call me, okay?
Please?
I know who Kurt is.
He's here.
He's been here the whole time.
NEIL: Hey there, beautiful.
Kurt.
No, no, no, please.
no, please, please, please.
Aah!
[cellphone chimes]
Lacey.
ADDIE [OVER VOICEMAIL]: Hey, Lace, it's Addie.
Did you pay my bail?
I--someone did.
Anyway, I just got home, and I really...
- She's home. - ...I really need to see Cam.
Home.
Call me, okay?
I want that drive.
I know you have it,
and I'm not leaving until I get it.
It's been destroyed. Kurt, it's gone.
[scoffs]
You know, I can always tell
when you're not being honest with me, right?
Yeah.
Everything that happened between us,
everything that went wrong was...
it was because you wouldn't let me love you
the only way that I know how.
Our marriage failed
because I stopped letting you hurt me.
That's not true.
All that anger you had for your brother.
Don't mention my brother!
Just give me what I want!
No.
[grunts]
You're never gonna let us go. [crying]
Addie? Hey, are you in there?
- You say nothing, you hear me? - Open the door, Addie!
- Here, open up! - [pounding on door]
- Aah! - Lacey! Help!
Let's go in the back.
- Oh! - Shut up!
Well, you're lucky they didn't hear you.
[tense music]
[gasps]
- We know who you are, Kurt. - Just let me explain.
There's nothing to explain.
You're Kurt Gillman.
You're not Neil Whittaker.
[tape rustling]
LACEY: You're Addie's ex and Cam's father.
Your bracelet gave you away.
Rebecca--
- You shouldn't have done that. - Aah! [gasps]
- [thud] - I was trying to fix this!
Where's the drive, Lacey?
I don't know what you're talking about.
Sh-Show him, Lacey.
I think you should listen to her.
It's where you found it. Please.
I don't want him to hurt you.
Come on.
You wait here.
Walk.
Here I thought I covered all my bases.
You told me your son was dead.
No, I didn't. I said I lost him, and one day we'd be reunited.
Welcome to that day.
Up the stairs. Move.
- Rebecca. - [moaning]
Addie.
- Are you okay? - I'm okay.
So, who was Janice then?
She worked for me.
I got her out of a bad situation
when she was a teenager, so I thought she'd be loyal to me.
Turns out I was wrong.
See, she turned on me as soon as
she started hanging out with all of you.
I guess she thought she could have a conscience
and a paycheck.
After she died, I--I figured I'd come here
and handle it myself, you know, in and out, real quick.
But you...
You had to complicate things, didn't you?
You see, when I saw you in the house that day,
I--I thought you found it.
That was you?
You locked me in the closet.
Surprise.
You see, I needed to find a way to get to you,
so I found your husband.
Blake was the key, you know?
Charming new client, looking to start a new law office.
Little poor guy was so desperate,
he opened the door right away.
You know, two days later, I was right where I needed to be,
sitting at your dinner table, building your trust.
I am very good at removing obstacles in my way.
Addie wants to destroy my legacy.
I will not let that happen.
So, the drive, please.
She's got a sense of humor. I'll give her that.
Hey!
[gasping, shrieking]
Give me that drive.
You're not taking anything. [grunting]
[Kurt gasping]
- [grunting] - [gasping]
[grunts] No!
Aah!
[gasping]
[clank]
[gasping]
Addie... [panting]
you saved my life.
He's dead.
[upbeat music playing]
Hey, honey, did Torres confirm the meeting?
Uh, tomorrow at noon.
And I think he's gonna say yes.
I know he's gonna say yes.
You sure B&L's the right name for us?
I mean, it's the first two letters of my name.
We can totally switch it.
No, L&B just doesn't have
the same ring to it, does it? No.
[chuckling]
You know, I'm happy you came out of retirement.
Never been happier than when we used to work together.
Me, too, honey.
And I think it's time for her bedtime.
- Oh, you're tired? - Is our baby sleepy?
You didn't want to stay up for a burger?
- [laughs] - I know we're 30 minutes late,
but it is all her fault.
Hey, that was my line.
- Addie, you look great. - Thank you.
[whispering indistinctly, giggles]
- Becca. Hi. - Blake.
Listen, I know we've already talked about this,
but I just wanted to apologize--
No, it's-- we're moving forward,
and, um, I just want to say
that I think it's great what you did for Addie.
Very brave of you.
[laughs] Well, it won't happen again.
Lacey's too important to me.
[baby cooing]
All right, ladies, what do we think?
Burgers or... hot dogs?
Ooh, these are ready.
