Side Effects

- Previously on
"The Baker and the Beauty"
- First time here?
Try the soup.
Everything else here sucks.
- Oh!
- And as of this moment,
I am officially single.
- Fame is hard
on a relationship.
- We're shooting the entire
thing on location in Morocco.
You'd be perfect for the lead.
- Sooner or later, someone's
gonna want to tell your side
whether you like it or not.
- I'm gay.
Why can't you just accept this?
- Because I can't protect you
for the rest of your life.
- I compared today's ultrasound
with the one
from six months ago.
The time of "wait and see"
is over.
- I called the bank.
- You did?
- 20 years we've been working
just to make ends meet.
I only have one condition.
We call the café Mari's.
- Uh-huh, yeah.
Well, I don't know how much
I'm supposed
to be sharing with you.
I'm sort of in a nondisclosure
agreement with my parents.
But what I will tell you is
that it's a sort of expansion,
like, a café, tables, maybe
a little bit of entertainment.
Oh, excuse me, and it's
pronounced Mateo, not Matty-o.
Yello.
- Yello?
Mateo, I told you
you have to start
acting like a professional.
You think Pharrell
answers the phone like that?
- I don't think Pharrell
answers his own phone.
I think he has people doing it
for him because he's big-time!
- Okay, just stop.
Listen, have you heard
of Marlowe St. John?
- Yeah, he's, like, the hottest
music producer in Miami. Why?
- 'Cause I got you
a meeting with him.
- Whoo!
- That's your son?
- Yeah, well,
he takes after my wife.
A natural ham.
His brother's a little bit
more responsibleusually.
- Okay.
- Hello?
- Daniel.
The contractor's here.
Where are you?
- Remember?
I told you Noa's announcing
her big movie role today.
- The woman has done
a million interviews.
All of a sudden,
she needs you there?
Daniel,
where are your priorities?
- Pop, I gotta go.
Get started.
I'll be there soon.
- Does your family know you're
coming to Morocco with us?
- Not yet,
but I will tell them today
after I pick up
some body armor.
- Ooh.
- Molly Fisher
back with "Miami Live"
at half past 9:00
in the morning.
And we're here talking with
the one and only Noa Hamilton,
broadcasting live
from her headquarters
here in the heart
of downtown Miami.
It's a work space known
as the Lab,
where they test
all their latest products.
Noa, I have to tell you that
your new cosmetic line
is amazing.
- Thank you so much.
We're really proud of it.
- I want
to talk about the rumors
that your latest move
will be into acting.
- Well, I can confirm
that the rumors are true.
I will be making
my acting debut
in Melanie Caan's next feature.
- That is amazing.
The one shooting
in Morocco, right?
- Yes. Very excited about it.
A little nervous.
- Now, we all know that you
have a new man in your life.
- Yes.
- But I would be remiss
if I didn't ask you
about the interview
that his ex-girlfriend
released this morning.
- I'm sorry, you have me
at a disadvantage.
I'm not aware of any interview.
- We have a clip.
- Everyone knows me
from that video.
I'm the crazy ex-girlfriend,
except I'm not.
I mean, yeah, I proposed
to him by singing,
and yes, when he said no,
I was so hurt,
I dumped soup on him.
But I figured we'd
work it out, you know?
I never thought Noa Hamilton
would be there.
- Lewis, this is the third
time you've delayed treatment.
- I know.
- Well, we need
to get ahead of this.
- Okay, look,
I--I promise you
I'm not going to cancel
again, all right?
- I'm gonna have the office
call to set an appointment.
- Thank you, Dr. Talbot.
Okay, bye.
- Everything okay?
- What?
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
- Okay.
Vanessa talked.
- Oh, God.
- As much as that must hurt,
it must be worse knowing
that Noa met Daniel
before you proposed.
According to our sources,
they spoke in the restroom
just before
you started your song.
That Noa is actually the one
who told Daniel
to order the infamous soup.
- Would you like to respond?
- You need to get Molly
back on course right now
or you will never have
another A-list celebrity
on this show again.
Go.
- Well--
- Cut!
Go to commercial.
- Oh, God.
Son of a--
- Turn back time now ♪
- That interview was bad.
- Kind of working here.
- Like, really bad.
- You know what, Natalie?
TV rots the brain.
- Wait, are you
defending Vanessa right now?
Mateo.
- I don't know.
You heard her, a'ight?
She was just
telling it like it is.
- Mateo, don't even try
to take her side in this.
- Side.
Side is such a divisive word,
you know?
Especially when people
should be coming together.
What am I supposed to do?
She's my manager.
And a good one.
She got me a meeting
with a music producer.
It's tomorrow.
- I get it.
She's been helpful,
and that's great,
but sooner or later, you're
gonna have to make a decision.
You're either loyal
to your family
or you're loyal to yourself.
- Over here,
we could put bistro tables.
- Mm-hmm.
- And espresso counter
right here.
- Maybe a little stage
over there
where you can sing
one night a week.
- Papi, I would love that!
Just think about how hard
we've worked for this
Yeah.
And the future
this could bring.
I know people will love it
just like our bakery.
- Wise woman.
- I know.
- Thank you.
- Want to look
at some plans here?
- Yes.
- All right.
Okay, I get a deposit today,
I could break through this wall
right into your bakery
I'm saying Monday.
Three days for demolition,
all right?
That's Monday, Tuesday--
leaves me Thursday for cleanup.
Friday I'm gonna drop seal
with a tarp right there,
which means you could
reopen your bakery
while my guys are working
right here in the café.
- Mr. Hayes, no disrespect,
but contractors and deadlines
don't always seem to get along.
Are you sure
that we only have
to close the bakery
for one week?
- Mr. Garcia,
I'm a small-business owner
just like you.
I understand the value of
a day open versus a day closed.
- Okay?
- Good.
- Now, if I could get
a couple signatures from you.
That's for you.
Right here,
this is the city permit.
And this is the state permit
right there, please.
Very good.
- Mm-hmm.
- And right here
is the health department
for reopening and remodeling
your bakery.
Look at you, signing more
autographs than Noa Hamilton.
- Excitement today
on "Miami Live."
A fire alarm just after Noa
was confronted
with the footage
of her boyfriend's ex.
- Congratulations, baker boy.
By pulling that fire alarm,
you took a bad
but containable story
and turned it
into national news.
- If you didn't try
to bribe Vanessa,
she probably wouldn't
have talked.
- Oh, really?
You're gonna double down
on that now?
- Don't get mad at me because
you took a phone call
when this all went down.
Listen, I'm sorry,
I couldn't just stand there
and watch you get ambushed
like that.
- I know you were
just trying to help,
but in the future,
I can defend myself.
- Is it too much
to hope, Daniel,
that you can keep a low profile
until all this blows over?
- We're going through
renovations
at the bakery all week. I--
- I know.
You should go.
- Try to stay out of trouble,
Gucci.
- Oh, that is rich.
Oh, God.
- Well, don't be mad at him.
- I'm not mad at him.
- I'm just trying
to scare some sense into him.
I'm mad at you.
Noa, when it comes
to romantic relationships,
you don't have the luxury
to make the kind of mistakes
that normal people do.
- I'm aware.
- Oh, really?
Well, how come every time
I turn my back,
you're like a toddler
running into traffic?
- Please don't speak
to me like that.
- How could you
not have warned me?
- About what?
- About being
in the men's room that night.
- I always use
the men's room, Lewis.
There's no line.
Nothing happened.
- It doesn't matter
what happened.
It matters how it looks.
You know that.
You have gotta keep your eye
on the ball at all times,
especially when I'm not around.
Now, any other landmines
you want to tell me about?
Did you two get married in
Vegas while I wasn't looking?
- No. That's everything.
So how bad do you think
it's gonna get?
- Worse than Miley
but hopefully better
than Angelina and Jen.
I'll start doing
some damage control.
It's gonna be okay, all right?
Hey.
- Who knew Molly Fisher
was such a bitch?
- Would you like to respond?
- Well--
- It's time to move,
but we need to move fast.
- Sir?
- That publicity
is gonna be bad.
She's going
to lose orders over it,
and that
is gonna scare the board.
Add to that the fact
she's going away for 12 weeks
to be an actress,
of all things.
That doesn't sound like a woman
who is fit to run a company,
now, does it?
- Well, I'm asking you
to cancel the cancellation.
Well, could you at least delay
the decision for a week?
Thank you,
because a week from now,
this'll all be
a non-story.
Neiman's is giving us a week
before pulling the spring line.
- What?
- It's too hot.
Their concerned that your
relationship with Daniel
is bad for optics
and it's gonna hurt the brand.
- Well, that's ridiculous.
Daniel hasn't done
anything wrong.
- That's four
national retailers in a week.
- I just got a call
from Mark Logan.
- Ugh, the board is worried.
- Well, in all fairness,
it is their job to worry.
- Mark Logan's not a worrier.
- It's been 24 hours
and the story's not going away.
- You think something's up?
- Well, our bottom line's
getting hit
and there's another offer to
buy us on the table from KKR&A.
It's not a coincidence.
- Okay, set up meetings
with all the board members
one-on-one.
Let's see who cracks.
- You excited?
- I'm nervous but
a little excited, yeah.
It's been a while
since I've felt like this.
The possibility of a future
I thought was beyond my grasp.
- Speaking of, you know,
Noa doing this movie--
- You know,
when we first moved to Miami
and I got the job
at the bakery,
this place--this placed
used to be a pet store.
You remember?
- Yeah.
Me and Mateo would come visit
you during your lunch break
and feed bread
to the little animals.
Wow.
Time flies.
- Yep.
You and Mateo were completely
disinterested teenagers
when your mother and I
finally bought the bakery.
Natalie wasn't even born.
This time
We all get to create
a place together.
And one day,
you're gonna be standing
right here with your son
and you're gonna say,
"I remember the day
that we broke down that wall."
Hmm?
What was it that you
were saying about Noa's movie?
- Nothing.
- Are you doing okay?
With all this nonsense
since Vanessa's interview?
- Yeah, it's just
the things that they write.
The lies.
Noa says I shouldn't read
any of it, but
it's almost impossible not to,
you know?
- I'm sorry, mi'jo, but
if you plan to stick together,
you're gonna have
to get used to it.
Our world is this,
Little Havana.
Her world ismira.
Personally
I prefer our world.
- Mm-mm.
We need to talk.
We need to talk.
We need to--
I'm sorry.
- Mateo?
You're an hour early.
We don't have
to meet until lunch.
- Can I come in?
- Yeah.
- Vanessa, I never thought
that you would do anything
to hurt my family.
It's unacceptable
and I will not tolerate it.
You're fired.
- Fine.
- What do you mean, fine?
- I mean, I think that's fair.
- No.
No, it's not fair.
After everything
you've done for me?
It's probably better we don't
work together right now.
- Vanessa, Vanessa, wait.
I mean,
you shouldn't have to suffer
because of what Daniel did.
- Go, Mateo.
Just promise me
you'll still take the meeting
and that you'll go
as yourself,
not MC Cubano.
- Vanessa--
- It's, like,
trending right now.
#BathroomBootyCall.
- Can't believe Vanessa
would sell out my brother
for her 15 minutes.
- Wait, so you told Mateo
he had to fire her as payback?
- Yes.
Oh, I see your point.
What I should've said is that
she had to manage him for life.
- Garciadiggers.
You must be so proud
of your portmanteau.
- Trying to say
that's not your name?
- Just ignore them.
- That's right,
you better walk away.
Brother throws over
a beautiful Latina queen
for some rich white trash.
- I don't know what's worse,
that you still believe
everything you read
in those trashy magazines
your mom picks up from 7-Eleven
or that you're trying
to play some Latinx race card
when I live in Little Havana
and you're
a third-generation Floridian
whose street accent
drops more than her GPA.
What's wrong?
All out of a few finger snaps,
Miss Anna from Coral Gables?
Boom.
Bye.
- Uh, you are awesome.
- I kind of am.
- Hey, Garcia.
- Thank you
for sitting down with me, Mark.
As you know, the last few days
have been challenging.
Obviously, Marcia,
my image affects the company.
I wanted to give you
the opportunity
to ask me any questions
or raise any concerns
that you might have.
- I appreciate that, Noa,
but
- I don't think it's necessary.
- I think this whole story
is just gonna blow over.
- Whatever losses we incur
- Will just be bumps
in the road.
- Long-term,
I don't foresee any problems.
- Well, thank you, Mark,
for your time and your candor.
- You're very welcome, Noa.
It's always a pleasure
to see you.
- I'll see you next time.
Bye.
- How does a man
with no discernible taste
wind up on the board
of a fashion company?
- If you don't
have the mankles,
you can't rock the crop.
- Lewis, lay off.
Mark's been on the board
since day one.
He's practically family.
- Well, someone should
introduce him to a mirror.
- Well, what did he say?
- Nothing out of the ordinary,
just like all the others.
- Well, we know for a fact
the board have been talking.
And if they're not talking
to you,
they're talking about you.
- It was short
and to the point.
Yeah,
she was definitely fishing.
But I don't think
she knows anything.
- Thanks, Mark.
If anything changes
before next week, call me.
Day or night.
- Great, great.
So we'll be in LA.
Oh, listen,
my lunch meeting's here,
so I gotta jump.
Jenna, we're going
to LA tomorrow.
Call the office,
let everyone know.
You must be Mateo.
- Yes, uh, thank you so much
for meeting with me.
A pleasure to meet you,
and, uh, I'm such a fan.
- Oh.
- I love all your music.
I think you're so talented,
and when I mean love,
I mean, like, love, like, that
awkward love, like--
- Thank you.
So where's this manager?
I'm dying to meet her.
- Oh, uh,
I guess she's late.
- Excuse me, excuse me, perdón.
Hola.
You want to take pictures?
I will bring out
our menus and some samples.
Anyone who puts it in the paper
gets free lunch for a month.
Where are the workers?
- I guess
they're taking a long lunch.
- Oh.
Well, I guess that means
we have the whole place
to ourselves.
- So I listen to everything,
and I think that there
is a window of time
for the type of music
that fuses genres,
and that's
the one guiding principle
behind every song
that I write--
- Mateo, Mateo.
You seem like a good guy.
And you do have some talent.
- Thank--thank you.
- But you're nothing special.
I don't mean that to be harsh.
In this business,
honesty is hard to come by.
That's why I always
tell it like it is.
Your work is derivative,
your voice is nothing special,
and you don't look like a star.
My advice is, do it as a hobby.
You know, play weddings,
have fun, make a little money.
But you own
a small family business.
Why sacrifice that for a dream
that won't be reality?
- So why'd you meet with me
if that's how you feel?
- I wanted
to meet your manager.
She has so much hustle,
so much passion.
I wanted to see
if she would work with me.
- Right.
Thank you for your time.
- Salud.
- Salud.
- Mmm.
Mmm.
Mm-mm.
Penny for your thoughts.
I'm still worried about Daniel.
He acts strong, but
I can tell the attention
is getting to him.
- Well, he's sensitive.
Like his father.
- Me?
- Yes, you.
- Aww.
You are sensitive.
- Mm?
- A big softie.
- Mm?
- Mm-hmm.
- And that
is why
I love you.
- Would you still love me
if this café doesn't work?
That is the stupidest question
you've ever asked me
in the history
of stupid questions.
- What, what? Come here.
Get over here.
Ven acá, ven acá.
Mm.
I swear to you,
life was a lot more fun before
cell phones were invented.
Hello?
This is she.
What?
Okay, I'm on my way.
Natalie got into a fight
at school.
- I want to be clear.
Deering has a zero-tolerance
policy towards violence.
We will be looking
at the circumstances of this--
- The circumstances are,
they jumped me and Amy.
- Natalie.
- I'm not gonna apologize
for kicking their asses.
- Natalie Garcia.
I'm sorry.
- As I was saying, we will be
looking at everything,
including the hate speech
painted on her locker.
- Hate speech?
About her sexuality?
- "Garciadiggers."
I believe it's a reference
to your eldest son's
relationship with Noa Hamilton.
We will be collecting
all the evidence
in regard to the girls' actions
and we will see
if there are any
mitigating circumstances
that might warrant a punishment
less than expulsion.
- Thank you.
Next.
- Daniel, wait.
Come on, I believe
in fair and balanced reporting.
- Sure, you do.
- I want to give you
an opportunity
to make a statement.
- The only thing I have
to say to you is not suitable,
even for a reputable website
like yours.
- I get it, you're angry.
- If you really cared, you'll
take down that interview.
- Why would I do that?
That interview's
gotten more clicks
than anything
I've ever published.
- Because it's
the right thing to do.
- I heard
your bakery's expanding.
Congrats.
How 'bout a story about
how your family is cashing in
on their connections
to Noa Hamilton?
- Leave my family out of this.
- Let's talk about you, then.
Boring baker to Noa-brand
Instagram sensation.
- Okay,
it's time for you to go.
- Oh, Daniel.
I'm sorry.
Look, would you rather
we talk more about
how you're probably just gonna
run right back to Vanessa?
Is that right? I don't know,
like, what's the deal?
You can tell me.
- This is you
being fair and balanced?
Come on, get out of here.
- Don't say I didn't offer.
- The number you have dialed
for Y&E Construction
is no longer in service.
- Mom, the entire way home,
you wouldn't listen.
Come on, you won't
let me explain anything.
- What possible explanation
can you have
for that kind of behavior?
Uh-uh!
Go, now!
- The number you have dialed
for Y&E Construction
is no longer in service.
Papi, it's bad.
- Yes, it is.
- Apparently, it's a new scam
where they spoof
the 800 number.
From then on, they have you
call them directly.
They said they've hit about
ten businesses in Miami
in the last month.
Has the check cleared?
- Yesterday.
What are we gonna do
about this?
And Natalie?
Papi, if she gets expelled, I--
- Okay, good, I was hoping
to catch you guys.
Is now a bad time?
- Actually, it is, Papi.
Can it wait?
- No, it can't.
I was trying
to find the right time,
but there's never a right time.
So
Noa's going to Morocco to shoot
that movie this summer,
and
I'm going with her.
It's three months
and it's a great opportunity.
And honestly,
with everything
that's been going on
around here,
I feel like I need a break,
maybe just get away, and--
- Mi'jo, mi'jo, mi'jo,
slow down, slow down.
Three months?
Daniel, you can't go away
for three months.
We need you here.
- Well, I was thinking
I could find
my temporary replacement
and train them.
Look, it's a
once-in-a-lifetime chance.
And she'll be working
and I can make more videos,
build my library--
- Daniel, what about us?
What about our new café,
our expansion?
Are you just gonna leave us?
- If you want to turn your back
on us, I can't stop you.
If you want to pretend
to be someone else,
that's your choice.
But don't delude yourself
into thinking
this is about
following your dreams.
You're following hers.
- You see?
I knew you wouldn't understand.
It is my dream.
- Being on TV?
This is your dream?
A little movie you shoot
on your phone
in some kiosco in Piñones
or Betsi's food truck.
And what, all of a sudden, you
think you're Anthony Bourdain?
If you're so passionate,
fine.
There's a thousand videos
you can shoot right here
starting with your own family.
But you didn't think
of those, did you?
Mateo, he has a dream.
You
You have a fantasy.
And me?
I have work to do.
- Look at us.
Everything that your father
feared would happen
is happening right now.
And it's all her fault.
- Ma, that's not fair.
- Yes, it is fair.
All that paparazzi outside,
your sister
getting into a fight at school.
- You got into a fight?
- You should see
the other girl.
- Cayate.
And you, running away
Running away with delusions
of grandeur
and forgetting
about your family.
That is all her fault.
- Her fault?
Mom, I didn't
hear you complaining
when she brought in customers
by the hundreds.
- Daniel, calm down.
- You two think you'd be able
to afford your expansion
had I not met her?
We'd still be barely
getting by.
- Oh, no.
Thomas Gold came here.
- He goes and reviews places
that celebrities have been.
And the last time I checked,
you weren't shy about the fact
that she played your music
at her party.
- Okay,
but when is the last time
our entire family has had
a fight like this, Daniel?
- You guys want to blame
someone, blame Vanessa.
Because everything was fine
until she gave that interview.
- Can you turn, please?
I like it, it's just not
exactly as we planned.
I think the shoulders need
to be bigger, right?
- Yes, bigger shoulders.
And yes, and raise
the dust ruffle.
- Always got your finger
on the pulse, Lewis.
- Pulse? I'm trying to keep
that look from flatlining
like our profit margins.
We have got to take this line
up a notch
if we're going
to protect the company
from a hostile takeover.
- We don't know there's
going to be a takeover.
Maybe the board
is telling the truth.
- Oh, there's gonna be
a hostile takeover.
We just have to figure out
which board members are looking
into our financials.
- Yeah.
- Um, well, you know what?
Will you call accounting
and see
if you can pull
the information requests?
I gotta take this.
- You need a better poker face.
- Excuse me?
- Look, I know you've been
getting a call from a doctor,
and that's fine.
I just--I don't understand
why you're hiding it.
- Piper, it's fine, really.
- Okay.
So no one knows?
Is it bad?
- I have prostate cancer.
- Oh, my God.
- I know.
Just what you want
on your Grindr profile, right?
- Lewis, I'm so sorry.
- Don't, please.
I will be fine,
aside from the fact
that most treatment options
come with the possibility
of impotence.
Good news is, you're healthy.
Bad news is,
you'll never have sex again.
Can you imagine me depriving
the world of this gift?
- Luckily,
we found it early, so
I'm gonna do radiation
and fingers crossed.
- Okay.
So you're gonna tell Noa?
- No.
I mean yes.
I will, just--she has a lot
on her plate right now.
- Lewis, that's ridiculous.
She would want to know--
- Piper, promise me
that you will not tell her.
- How am I--I can't--
- I will tell her
when I'm ready, okay?
- Okay.
- Okay.
- May I?
- What if they kick me out?
- They won't.
- My entire future
could change based on one--
- Listen, listen.
I know it's scary.
It's terrifying, but, you know,
they won't expel you.
- You don't know that.
- You were defending yourself,
okay?
You didn't start it.
- That's true, that's true.
- But you did finish it.
- I mean, that poser went down.
- Yeah, that's my kid sister.
How'd you do it?
- You should've seen it.
I was like, "Can you
come here a second?"
Pow-pow!
Pow-pow!
- Oh, oh!
- Good work. Let me see that.
- It was great.
- Oh, you look so beautiful.
- You should see her.
- Oh, hey, how did that, um,
meeting with that guy go?
- Um--
Were those the workers?
- It sounded like Mom.
- That was Dad, yep.
- That was definitely Dad.
- What is going on?
- I have no idea.
Hey, are you guys okay?
- Otra más, otra más.
- Vamo, vamo!
- Where are the workers?
- The contractor
stole our money.
- What?
- Just the deposit.
- Mami, Papi, I'm so sorry.
- No, no, no, it's okay.
You know why?
Because we are the Garcias.
- Somos los Garcias and we're
gonna do it ourselves.
- Exactly.
- The parts that we can.
- Vamos, Papi.
- Vamos, yeah.
- Your turn first.
Go ahead.
- Hey, you got another one
of those?
- We have one for everyone,
Mamita.
You ready?
- Yeah.
- Take it.
It's heavy.
- Careful.
Oh, you won't be able
to hold this.
- Be careful!
- Come on, Mama.
- Garciadiggers, huh?
- That's right.
- Take that!
- There you go, baby!
Look at that!
- Yes!
- Me too, me too, me too.
- You get it, Mom!
- Yeah, hit it hard,
hit it hard.
- Whoo!
- Vamos, vamos.
Mateo, let's do it!
All right, all right, Mateo,
let's go!
All right, here we--
Oh, come on.
You need to start working out.
- Hold on, hold on, okay?
- You need to start
working out.
- You have to pick it up!
- Come on, Papi.
You need some muscles.
- Oh, my God.
- Whoo!
- What is that?
-
Oh, what's that smell?
- Wait, wait, wait, wait,
wait, wait, wait.
Mateo, give me a hand here.
Come on.
Watch it, watch it, watch it.
- Everybody get out,
get out, get out, get out!
- The thing is, Juliet, you're
one of only two board members
who asked
to see the financials.
- Yes, Tom,
and Piper's on the phone
with the other one right now.
- I just want
to know what's going on.
- Oh, you know that I know
that you know what's going on.
- Okay, well,
then who asked you to do it?
- Mark Logan?
- Mark Logan?
Did he say why?
- An emergency board meeting?
- When?
- Oh, God.
- Juliet,
I gotta call you back.
Are you okay? What's happening?
Do you need a doctor?
- What?
No, no, it's not that.
In order to call
an emergency board meeting,
you need two members
to make a motion.
We already know
that one of them is Mark Logan.
Now, ask yourself,
who is the one person
who would do something
that underhanded
at a time like this?
- We called
all the other board members.
- No, we haven't.
- Oh.
- Yes.
- Oh, you gotta be kidding me.
- Can I come in?
Paparazzi have the bakery
staked out.
Natalie, she's getting
picked on at school.
There's some sort of trouble
at Noa's company.
And meI'm fighting
with my family.
Is that what you wanted?
- What I wanted was to stop
losing potential clients.
What I wanted was
to be seen for who I am
and not some internet meme.
You think I wanted to hurt you?
I don't know what's worse,
that you could be
that narcissistic
or that you think I'd actually
do something like that.
That might've not been
your intention,
but that's what's happening.
And it all started
with that interview.
- Okay, what do you want me
to do?
- Help me stop it.
Go to the press,
tell them the truth.
- I did tell them the truth!
Everything I said
is exactly what happened.
Now, you may not like
how the truth makes you look,
but mirrors can be cruel
sometimes.
- I shouldn't have come.
- At last, we agree.

- Mm.
In other words--
- I wanted to--
- Oh.
Can I go first?
- Yeah.
I just wanted
to tell you something
before you found out
from somebody else.
- You punched Kurt Malick.
- I did.
I'm sorry.
It's just a lot.
And I can't believe how well
you handle the pressure
day after day, especially
when they make it so personal.
It feels like you can't--
- Breathe?
- Yeah.
- Daniel, I've had my whole
life to deal with this chaos.
You've had, what, a month?
The truth is, it's not really
fair to you
or your family.
- What's going on?
- Let's take a walk.
- Mrs. Howe,
of course, of course.
Okay, bye-bye.
Suspension.
- Oh, my God.
- But it could've easily
been expulsion.
- I know, I know.
And it will never happen again,
I swear.
- That's right, it won't.
And Amy--did you know she has a
history of disciplinary issues?
- She doesn't have a history
of disciplinary issues, okay?
She got caught TP'ing
the school mascot
with, like, five other girls.
- Oh, so then you admit that
she's been in trouble before.
- Okay?
- "Okay?"
Then you'll understand why
I am forbidding you
from seeing her anymore.
- Uh-uh!
- Well, the gas leak
is repaired,
but that's not your problem.
The problem is, it looks like
you have asbestos
all throughout these walls.
- Asbestos?
- It has to be removed
and the building's gonna have
to be certified.
- How--how long will it take?
- I'd say your bakery can
reopen in about 10 to 12 weeks.
- He wanted to hire me?
- Yeah, why are you acting
so surprised?
He knows how to seek talent,
right?
Consider it.
He's the real deal.
And so are you.
Anyway, just wanted
to let you know.
- To hell with him.
He's wrong about you.
Why would I want
to work with him?

- My father's trying
to take my company from me.
- What?
- There's a reason why I don't
talk about him a lot.
It's a very painful
relationship.
He only married my mother
because she was pregnant,
and then when she got sick,
he completely abandoned her.
- Back to the ocean ♪
- I was emancipated from him
when I was 16
but not before
I started my company.
- With his money.
- Exactly.
- And ever since then, he's
been able to sit on my board
and have a piece of every
single one of my successes.
- Okay, but it's still
your company.
Why do this?
- Exactly, why?
Why would a father do that
to his daughter?
I don't know.
All I know is that
he senses I'm vulnerable
and he's coming for me.
So what are you gonna do?
- I'm gonna do
what I always do.
I'm gonna fight.
I'm gonna fly to New York,
Los Angeles, and London
and meet with
every single board member
and convince them not
to believe my father's lies.
- You're not only gonna fight,
you're gonna win.
I'm here for you every step
of the way.
I'll go home and pack my bags.
- You're so kind, Daniel.
That's very sweet of you.
