Acting Up
Previously on The Client List Riley: Kyle left me, and I have no idea if he's ever coming back.
Bobby just texted me, and he's thinking we should just look around here and get married.
Well, whose are these, anyway? Dee Ann.
Me? This guy I'm seeing It's just fun.
What if it turns serious? It won't.
What if it does? I had a client today.
Could have swore he was police.
I'd appreciate it if you'd check it out.
You know I always look out for you.
I'm buying the salon.
If Taylor buys the salon, I can't work here.
I'm Mark, by the way.
Yeah, we met a few weeks ago.

I would like to take you on a date, too.
What do you think? Sounds good.

It's okay.
Hey, ref, where's the whistle? Ah, you don't need a whistle.
Let them play.
Number 9 threw an elbow.
You guys, this is kids' soccer, not the world cup.
Exactly.
They're kids.
They'll flail.
Well, if he's gonna continue flailing like that, someone's gonna get hurt.
Well, good thing we have a doctor here.
Okay, do not make me call a time-out.
[ Whistle blows .]
Oh, I-I better check on him.
Okay.
Lacey: Oh.
That looks like it hurt.
Mm.
Good-looking, successful, great dad.
Is it too soon for a nickname? 'Cause I'm thinking "Dr.
perfect" has a nice ring to it.
Lacey, nobody's perfect.
Mm.
But he comes pretty darn close.
Hey.
Is Zack okay? Uh, he's determined Just like his dad.
Which reminds me Someone still owes me a date.
Me? Oh, you don't give up, do you? Not a chance.
The country club is hosting this new members event.
I was wondering if you'd keep me company.
I won't be dying of boredom she'd love to.
Uh, Lacey, do you mind? Yes, I would love to.
It sounds fun.
It's a date, then.
Okay.
[ Whistle blows .]
Oh, that's game.
Thank God.
Good job, buddy! All right! Um, I'll load up.
We'll meet you at the car.
Good game.
I'm so proud of you.
I want to go home.
How was your game, Katie? I was bad.
Well, if you ever want to practice, I'm happy to help.
I don't want your help.
Okay, hey, you know what? I'm sorry Long morning.
Oh, I understand.
Uh, maybe I could come by this weekend and I could show Katie a few pointers.
[ Kicks ball .]
I don't want his help! Hey! Hey, what's up, little No, no, no.
We got this.
Thanks.
Come on.
Luke: Breathe in [ Inhales deeply .]
And breathe out.
[ Exhales deeply .]
If you want achieve bliss, you have to let go of any negative energy that surrounds you.
Seems a little hokey, if you ask me.
Luke's here as a favor to me.
Show some appreciation.
Next, I'm gonna ask that you harness your root chakra.
Buy a girl dinner first, will ya? [ Grunts .]
I asked Georgia if I could bring my friend Luke in.
Been telling him how crazy things have been around here, and he offered to lead us in a meditation, help us find our center.
Kendra, we can hear you.
Sorry.
Well, at least he's cute.
I know, right? Isn't he adorable? What on earth? Excuse me.
Hey, who wants to go to Galveston tomorrow and work on our tans? That sounds great, but Mark's taking me to something at the club.
Selena: Hold up.
You're going to the Sherwood Country Club? As a guest? You know, when we worked there, I always dreamt about going back and giving those snobs a piece of my mind.
Yeah, that is the last thing I plan on doing.
'Course, there's no reason why I couldn't join them now.
Girls, let's silence our thoughts and our voices.
[ Sighs .]
Guess Kyle leaving had a silver lining after all, huh? You trading up for some rich doctor.
Maybe you should meditate out some of that jealousy.
Luke: And Breathe.
Please.
Original Air Date: June 10, 2012 Settle in, everyone.
As the new owner, I want y'all to know how thrilled I am to be your boss.
I think we're gonna get along swimmingly.
Yeah, like rats on a sinking ship.
From here on out, all clients must have an appointment.
Never know what kind of riffraff will come in off the street.
That's ridiculous.
Some of our best customers walk in off the street.
Brazilian blowouts They're big money.
I want each of you to take an all-day training session by the end of next week.
Ooh, Linette, Linette, Linette.
It's just day one.
It's okay.
I'm in control of myself.
Also, we will be phasing out perms.
Oh, for Pete's sake, Taylor.
Perms are a huge part of our business.
Was it's not 1982, in case you hadn't noticed.
Why can't we do both? Blowouts for the younger clients and then the same services for the older ladies.
Because, Lacey, I want to bring in a newer clientele, and in order to do that, this place needs sexing up.
Linette: Taylor You walk in here with your fancy ideas and your fancy shoes Thank you.
And you want to change things that don't need to be changed.
I am growing this business, Linette, and if my ideas don't sit well with you, you can find your way out.
Would you calm down? You're making a scene.
You're gonna get me in trouble.
All right, this is what you do to me.
You make me crazy.
Early in the afternoon I hang up the paper moon speaker's in the windowsill I begin my phone calls tiki, tiki, tiki, tiki torch señoritas on the porch Riley: So, how you doing, Alex? I miss this.
[ Cellphone rings .]
Uh-oh.
Nope.
Don't even think about it.
Well, it could be an emergency.
The only emergency is how tense you are, and I'd call 911 if I wasn't so good at my job.
[ Cellphone rings .]
Really? Lord.
Unh-unh Hello.
Oh, no, I'm sorry.
He's a little indisposed right now.
Why, yes.
I will notify him immediately.
Thank you.
Is everything okay? I don't know.
Are you paying too much for your long-distance carrier? No.
Now, if you're really good, maybe you'll get this back.
Ray, stop.
I said I can't.
Okay, I'm having a hard time keeping up here.
You keep changing the rules on me.
We have a good thing going.
Why do you want to throw it away? You are truly gifted A real artist.
Well, thank you, sir.
Do my best work in oils.
Ray: Where is this coming from? Hot one minute, cold the next.
What was that? [ Sighs .]
Probably nothing.
Relax, please.
Now, does that feel good? Mm-hmm.
I'll take that as a "yes.
" You're making a fool of me.
It's kinda stepping on the mood, don't you think? Okay, well, let's just see if we can push on through.
I don't care about your clients I'm sorry.
One second.
[ Dee Ann and Ray arguing .]
You gonna be okay in here? [ Clears throat .]
You were a good boy.
Hey! What the hell's going on in here? We're just talking.
You know, everything Everything's fine.
I wasn't talking to you.
Dee Ann, are you okay? I mean, people are trying to work out here.
We can hear you.
You're right.
We're sorry about that.
Be sure and keep it down.
Um, actually, Ray was just leaving.
This isn't over, Dee.
I'm fine, Riley.
No, Dee Ann.
Something is going on in here.
You're obviously upset.
Now, why don't you just let me help you? Ray and I have been Seeing each other.
Are you in love with him? No.
I We were just messing around.
Least, that's what I thought it was.
Please tell me he's not on the list.
You got to end this.
I tried, okay? He said he would keep coming back until I changed my mind, and Riley, he's on the city council.
He knows everyone in town.
I'm just I'm worried about what he might do.
[ Sighs .]
There's only one way to handle this.
No.
Please don't say it.
We have to tell Georgia.
Riley She can help you, okay? Trust me.
I don't ask much of you girls.
Hell, I pretty much let you do whatever you please.
But the rules are there for your protection.
I know, and I'm so sorry.
Making fantasies come true is only half of the job.
The other half is making sure these guys know that it is just a fantasy.
You go messing around with them outside of here, and you're just confusing them.
He wasn't confused.
Georgia, he was really upset.
I wish you could've seen it earlier.
I'll take care of him.
The thing that worries me is you girls thinking you can just change the rules as you go along.
You were careless, Dee Ann.
I know.
I-I just I got caught up.
You can't afford to get caught up.
Georgia, I know that you're upset, but everybody makes mistakes.
And I'm saying it only takes one mistake.
But Dee Ann apologized.
That's what makes this so difficult.
Dee Ann, honey, I'm afraid we're gonna have to part ways.
[ Chuckles .]
You're kidding, right? You're firing her? Georgia, you can't You can't do that.
Yes, I can.
And I just did.
I just still can't believe that Dee Ann was fired.
Well, maybe it's a blessing.
A blessing? That girl's out of work because of me.
All I'm saying is, in your line of work, maybe getting fired isn't the worst thing that can happen.
Shh.
What are you two gossiping about over here? Nothing, mama.
Well, well, well.
Very interesting style, Linette.
Very retro.
What do you think you're doing? Just inspecting your work Quality control you know.
You did not say that.
Oh, yes, I did.
Mama.
Don't worry, girls.
I do a lot more than just cut hair.
People that sit in my chair We laugh, we cry together.
We share our lives.
I've been a hairdresser for 35 years, and I'm not gonna stand here and let you disrespect me and the people I love.
I quit.
Now, who's going with me? Lacey? Oh, Linette.
You know I love you.
I love you so much.
You know that.
But I can't.
Dale would kill me.
Mama, are you sure you want to do this? Riley! Not another word! Okay, yes, ma'am.
[ Door opens .]
[ Door closes .]
You know, I hate to say it, but you did the right thing.
[ Sighs .]
Oh, Lord.
Then why do I feel so awful? It's okay.
Hey, Luke.
Can I introduce you to Riley? Riley? Lukey? Campbell? Jurgenson? Hi! [ Laughing .]
Hi! Hi! Aw! It's "Luke" now.
I always hated when you called me "Lukey.
" Sorry.
Wait you two know each other? Yeah, Riley used to babysit me and my kid brother.
Oh, he was quite the Tasmanian Devil Always playing with fireworks and skateboarding.
Oh, no, it was It was just a phase Only took me 18 years to grow out of it, but [ Cellphone rings .]
Oh, it's Bobby.
I better catch him while I can.
See y'all later.
[ Cellphone beeps .]
Uh, y-you busy? Want to grab a coffee, catch up? Oh, God, I would love to, but I'm crazy busy.
Okay, all right.
Maybe later this week.
Georgia's gonna have me back.
She says this place could use some good mojo.
She's right about that.
It was really good to see you, Lukey Uh Luke.
Grown-up.
Okay.
Hello, Georgia.
Sure do appreciate you meeting me after hours.
Hope you know my girls will make it worth your while.
They always do.
We should be celebrating Your promotion.
S.
O.
B.
s passed me over again.
The thanks I get for 25 years of service.
That's a real shame.
Bet you're already plotting your revenge.
[ Glasses clink .]
Got a question for you.
I figured maybe you did.
Councilman Ray Stirland Do you know him? He fancies himself a player.
He's nothing but talk.
All hat, no cattle.
Exactly.
He causing you trouble? He's been messing with one of my girls.
You know I have a zero-tolerance policy when it comes to their safety.
You want me to have a chat with him? He's easy to find.
He has dinner at that table almost every night.
You're a good man, Cliff.
But I got this.
I just needed to know what I'm up against.
If you need any backup I know who to call.
What are you doing in here? I'm your 12:00.
You said you didn't have a minute to catch up.
Now you got 60.
Hey.
Do you remember all those nights you used to let us stay up late, telling us about all the places you wanted to go, all the adventures you planned? So, tell me Machu Picchu Did you ever go? Wow.
I have not thought about that in years.
Remember you were gonna hike the Inca trail, backpack through Peru? Well, I made it as far as Omaha, Kansas City, and Tallahassee.
Kyle's U.
T.
games.
I thought for sure you'd leave Beaumont.
Uh, I made it all the way to Sugar Land, didn't I? [ Both laugh .]
Okay.
What are you really doing here? 'Cause you didn't come to talk about my travel history.
[ Chuckles .]
You're good friends with Kendra.
How's she doing? I mean, you know, I-is she happy? Kendra always wanted a big wedding, but Bobby talked her into eloping, and she says everything's great, but I don't know.
I guess I just wanted to make sure she's okay.
How long have you been in love with her? From the moment she walked into my yoga class and handed me her homemade affirmation cd.
She lit up the room.
And she has no idea? No.
That's why I wanted to talk to you.
I thought maybe you could help me.
Oh.
Well, I'm officially not helping other people with their problems.
Okay, why don't you just tell her how you feel? No.
[ Clears throat .]
No, I ca I can't do that.
Well, why not? What are you afraid of? Not seeing her smile, hearing her voice I mean, what if I scare her off? Then, I'm not just losing the girl I love I'm losing my best friend.
Okay, now, that is not like the Lukey I knew.
He was fearless.
You were gonna see the world.
Maybe we don't get to have it all.
Evan: Get there! Get there! Come on! - Aah! - Yes! - Man! - Whoo! Aah! Hey! What'd I say about kicking a ball in the house? Ha ha! Not fair! Give it back! It's mine! Man, she's been moping around all day.
Yeah, I keep asking her what's wrong, but she won't say.
[ Sighs .]
You all right? Seem a little on edge.
Long day.
Thanks for watching after the kids.
- You staying for dinner? - No, I got to run.
I'm gonna meet Selena at the Pony Keg for happy hour.
Oh, wow.
That's still happening? I know you don't approve.
No, no.
It's none of my business.
It's just, things were looking up for you, and I'd hate to see that get in the way.
Well, she keeps things interesting.
And you're one to talk, going out with that stiff.
Uh, you know what? Just because you're going out with Selena doesn't make you a relationship expert.
Just looking out for you.
Yeah, and I'm just trying to have a little fun.
Of course.
You know what? Why can't I go out with a nice guy and just enjoy myself? - Riley, relax.
- No, and that's another thing I don't need, is you telling me to relax.
I didn't mean to make you upset.
Forget I said anything.
Look, Evan, I'm really grateful for all that you've done, but you've got your own life, so you don't need to go meddling in mine.
You're right.
You don't.
And let me make things easy for both of us.
I'm gonna keep my distance from now on.
Great.
Good.
[ Door opens, closes .]
Lacey: Hello! If that doesn't say "country club approved," I don't know what does.
Well, thank you.
Thank God I don't have to go back there in my uniform.
Nothing says "outsider" like polyester blend.
Mm.
Please.
[ Knock on door .]
Oh, I'll get it.
Okay.
You look pretty, mommy.
Thank you, baby.
[ Door closes .]
Wow.
You look amazing.
Hey, what did I say about soccer in the house? Sorry, mommy.
Remember, Katie.
It's all about control.
Key is to stay relaxed.
Uh Go on, you two.
Okay.
Got a big day planned.
Dinner, baking cookies, story time It's gonna be a party up in here.
Okay, you be nice to your Aunt Lacey.
Hey, Travis, mama's leaving.
Travis: Bye, mom! And, Katie, my offer's still good any time you want to practice.
Well, look at this way At least one of us is happy to see you.
Bye, y'all.
Lacey: Bye.
[ Jazz music plays .]
Evan.
What are you doing here? Wasn't my idea.
Trust me.
Why am I not surprised? Well, this should be fun.
Believe me, I'll do my best to keep my distance.
Well, it's a big club.
We should be able to do that.
I got to say, it seems like everywhere I go, there you are.
Well, what can I say, Flemming? You're irresistible.
Hi, girl.
Changed your hair, huh? Brazilian blowout You love it.
So, you crashing? I prefer to say I'm being socially creative.
Oh, so you are crashing.
No reason you get it all.
Hi.
I'm Selena Ramos.
Dr.
Mark Flemming.
I know who you are.
Riley here has told me all about you.
Well, this is great.
Why don't you join us? I like the way you think.
Shall we? Mark: There we were, in Prague in this exquisite listening to "Il Trovatore.
" The lights go down, and from the very first note, we both start crying.
Oh, my God.
That sounds amazing.
You cried? The music moved me.
You had to be there.
I've never been to the opera Or Europe, for that matter.
Well, we'll have to correct that someday, won't we? You know what? Maybe we should go mingle.
There's plenty of time for that.
It's so nice to meet your friends.
She's real tight-lipped about work.
I bet you two have a lot of fun.
Selena: Oh, yeah.
See, we, uh, we pride ourselves on customer service.
Yeah, let's not bore him with shop talk.
I think it's fascinating.
I did an ortho rotation during my residency at Johns Hopkins.
I saw how beneficial massage therapy was for patients.
Oh, yeah.
Believe me, we change lives.
Well, hello, Riley! Selena.
Hey, Bonnie.
You look great.
Oh, why, thank you.
You're still as sweet as can be.
You know, we sure do miss you around here.
[ Chuckles .]
[ Clears throat .]
Excuse me, uh, running my mouth.
Can I get y'all something? Another round, please.
Selena: All right, let's get this party started.
Who wants to dance? Come on.
[ Laughing .]
That's funny.
I hope she's joking.
Uh, no, I think she actually wants to get up and shake it.
Mark, you look like you know how to cut loose.
Let's go.
Selena, I-I think you're making the guy uncomfortable.
Thanks, Evan, but I can speak for myself.
I love dancing, but there's a time and a place.
All right.
Maybe later.
So, Mark, tell me What's a girl got to do to become a member here? I mean, is it all about who you know or can I just write a check? Selena, geez.
What? You don't give up, do you? Not a chance.
Mark: If you're interested in membership, you should speak to Bob Cunningham over there.
All right.
You coming? Uh, no.
I'm I'm good.
Actually, uh I think I'm gonna head out.
Evan, you can't just ditch me.
This is important.
You drag me here under false pretenses, crash Riley's date.
Fine.
I'll find my own way home.
I'm sure that won't be a problem.
Bob will be entertained.
That's for sure.
It's too bad she's wasting her time.
What do you mean? There's no way they'd let someone like her be a member.
Like what? Oh, no no offense.
It's just that Selena's not exactly country-club material.
Some of us are fine Bordeaux, and others are Box wine.
You, on the other hand, are a vintage cabernet.
And I meant everything I said earlier.
There are so many things I would love to show you.
You know what, Mark? I like box wine.
Thought you were leaving.
I was.
Decided since they were scrimping on food, I'd take advantage of the open bar.
How are you? I'm okay.
Today didn't go exactly as I planned.
Hors d'oeuvre? I swear that stuff is making me hungrier.
Seriously, don't they have any real food around here? You know what? I have an idea.
Come on.
Katie, Travis! Cookies are ready! Ohh! [ Sizzling .]
Oh, crap! You said a bad word.
No, I didn't.
Yes, you did.
You said Tell you what.
[ Chuckles .]
You don't tell your mom what I said, and we can order pizza later.
Deal? Deal.
Katie! Where's your sister? Don't know.
Katie! Katie, where are you? Hello? [ Sighs .]
Ozzie's bacon cheeseburgers the thing I miss most about this place.
I don't know.
You seemed pretty comfortable in there.
Well, it's a good life.
I mean, you got to admit that.
A lot of girls would love it.
I don't see the appeal.
A bunch of uptight jerks, if you ask me.
Hey! Some of the best people in Beaumont work in there.
So, you and Dr.
Mark.
He's a good guy.
[ Chuckles .]
The best.
[ Chuckling .]
Come on.
He's got some wonderful qualities.
Oh, yeah.
He's fantastic.
I mean, Riley [ As Mark .]
"There's this incredible ballet in brussels.
" "I was crying all over the place.
" [ Laughing .]
What is that face? "I'm gonna go ride in my Mercedes.
" "And, Katie, why don't I show you how to kick the soccer ball?" [ Giggling .]
Stop! [ Imitates gunshot .]
[ Both laugh .]
You know what would make this even better? What? Fries.
[ Laughs .]
[ Laughs .]
Hello? [ Dialing .]
[ Cellphone beeps .]
Hey, Lace.
You need to come home, Riley.
Right now.
How soon can you get here? Okay, I'm coming.
What's going on? Just [ Voice breaking .]
Just get home quick.
Katie's gone.
Okay.
We got to go right now.
- Why? - Katie's missing.
Let's go.
Hey.
Nothing? Neighbors haven't seen her.
Police are outside.
I gave them Katie's photo, and they're gonna canvass the neighborhood.
I'm gonna keep looking.
Okay, I'm coming with you.
Linette's on her way.
Hey, Trav, you mind staying here, keep an eye on Lacey? Okay, Uncle Evan.
All right.
Thanks, buddy.
Councilman.
I hope I'm not interrupting important city business.
I always have time for you, Ms.
Cummings.
Thank you.
Ray I know you've been messing around with one of my girls.
Afraid that's none of your business.
That's between me and Dee Ann.
It's between me and my girls, so, yes, it is my business.
Okay, well, in that case, why don't I just come by this week and straighten things out? [ Chuckling .]
Well, that won't be necessary.
Dee Ann no longer works there.
You fired her? Huh.
That's extreme.
You know what's extreme? Getting involved with a married woman who provides certain services an important man such as yourself might want to keep private.
If I didn't know better, I'd think you were threatening me.
Ray, I have collected quite a list of friends over the years.
I know people, too, Georgia judges, councilmen, law enforcement.
I have had to deal with men like you my whole life scared little boys who think a fancy suit makes them untouchable.
You want to know the fascinating thing about power, Georgia? No matter how much you think you have, it's constantly shifting.
Piss off the wrong people, and it can change minute to minute.
What's that supposed to mean? It means from this moment on, the clock is ticking.
Riley: Two hours.
She's been gone over two hours.
Don't worry.
Everything's gonna be fine.
You don't know that.
I mean, she's out there somewhere at night, all alone, and I have no idea how to find her.
I can't lose her.
[ Voice breaking .]
I won't survive it.
Stop it, Riley.
All right, you need to stop thinking like that.
We just need to stay focused and calm right now, okay? Okay.
Okay.
You know, every night, when I put Katie to bed, I always I always look at her and I say, "how did I get lucky enough to have the best little girl in the whole wide world?" And you know what she says? Every night, she looks up at me with those big brown eyes, and she says, "'cause you're lucky, mama.
" [ Cries .]
Riley.
Riley.
Look at me.
We are going to find her.
I promise you.
[ Knock on door .]
What are you doing here? Oh, well, I was looking for Linette.
I thought I might find her here.
Not a good time, Taylor.
Oh, my gosh.
Are you two okay? That's none of your business.
Katie's missing.
What? The police are out looking.
So are Riley and Evan.
Oh, my.
Linette, you get your purse.
We're going.
Don't you start bossing me around.
Please.
You will feel better if you are out there looking.
Let me help.
It's okay, Linette.
We'll be fine.
[ Sighs .]
Let's head back to the house and circle around again, okay? Okay.
I just don't know why she'd run away.
I mean, everything was just starting to get normal.
She's been hanging on to that soccer ball for dear life.
Oh, I know.
I mean, Mark even offered to help her with it, and that just got her more upset.
You think that's why she left? Evan, I think I know where she is.
[ Engine shuts off .]
Katie?! Mommy! Are you okay? [ Voice breaking .]
Are you okay? [ Crying .]
Do you want to tell me why you decided to run away? I don't know.
I think you do.
I just don't want Zack's stupid dad teaching me anything.
Baby, Mark was just trying to help you.
Daddy was going to teach me.
[ Sighing .]
Okay.
I will help you.
Mommy, you are not good.
[ Laughing .]
Ohh.
Baby, don't ever run off on me like that again.
Promise? I promise.
What a sweet girl.
Sleep.
[ Sighs .]
[ Missy Higgins' "Where I Stood" plays .]
I don't know what I've done or if I like what I've begun Hey.
Hey.
I thought everyone had left.
Travis wanted one more story.
You sure you're all right? Tonight was awful.
One of the worst nights of my life.
Well, you got Katie back.
That's the important thing.
You were so sure that we were gonna find her.
How? Just had a feeling.
Can't really explain it.
Just knew everything was gonna turn out all right.
who I am, who I am without you ♪ and if they get lost again, you can be damn sure we'll keep finding them.
I don't know that I can do this.
Do what? Everything.
It's all just too much.
I mean, I-I didn't think I'd be doing it alone.
I didn't think it would be this hard.
I'm so sorry that I was mean to you.
I'm so sorry that I don't know how to relax.
I'm just sorry.
Hey, Riley, look, you don't have to apologize.
And you are not alone.
I'm not going anywhere.
See, I thought love was black and white ♪ that it was wrong or it was right ♪ 'cause I don't know who I am who I am without you all I know is that I should and I don't know if I could stand another hand upon you ♪ all I know is that I should 'cause she will love you I should go.
She who dares to stand where I stood ♪ ohh [ door closes .]
she who dares to stand where I stood [ Bells jingle .]
Hey.
Forgot my scissors.
[ Door closes, bells jingle .]
Well, I've got everything I need, so obviously, I'm not needed.
I'll go home.
And if you were needed Hypothetically speaking Hypothetically? Hypothetically, if we had walk-ins We can't have walk-ins You never know what kind of riffraff is gonna come in off the street.
I do now.
They mostly ask for you.
Mm-hmm.
And I also need someone who knows why the hot water goes off every day at noon.
Hmm.
You sure do need a lot.
And what do you need, Linette? Oh, every other Saturday off.
Be reasonable! Done.
[ Chuckles .]
Also, I want an hour-and-a-half lunch so I can run errands.
Don't get cocky! Oh, and, by the way, Nell will be here in just about 10 minutes for a permanent.
Thank God you are back! Oh, hush, now.
We have a lot of work to do.
This place has gone to seed.
I'm glad you're back, Linette.
Me too.
Me too.
[ Laughs .]
Luke: And switch.
Now join me in lotus position.
Close your eyes and breathe through your heart's center.
Ommmmmmm.
Ommmmmmm.
Ommmmmmm.
Ommmmmmm.
Namaste, ladies.
Namaste.
Namaste.
Namaste.
Namaste.
May you release your fears and uncertainty and go into the world seeking joy and happiness.
Yeah.
Okay, I'm gonna do the talking, and you're gonna listen.
Now it is time for you to let go of your fears and your uncertainty.
Grow a big ol' pair and get in there and tell Kendra how you feel.
You hear me? It's just like you said Life is scary and messy and almost never works out the way you planned.
Look, here's the deal Some people get to fly around the world.
Others get two great kids.
And then some get the chance to find true love.
So before she goes off and marries Bobby, you have to tell her.
What if she breaks my heart? Maybe she will.
But maybe she won't.
You know, I, um I made it to Machu Picchu.
[ Sighs .]
You did? Yeah.
All these years, I just, um I wanted to say thanks.
Afraid I have a bit of a situation on my hands.
I wish I could help you, but I'm afraid you're on your own this time.
What's going on? Look, I'm really sorry, Georgia, but this whole thing is a lot bigger than the two of us.
And I can't afford to get in the middle of it.
What are you talking [ Telephone beeps .]
Clif [ Dial tone .]
Well, that wasn't so hard, now, was it? Anything else? No.
We're good.
And don't worry.
Your higher-ups will be hearing from me.
I wouldn't be surprised if they reconsider your promotion.
This is a win-win for both of us, you know.
That woman Needs to be put in her place.
Mm.
Hey.
Georgia, I want to talk.
If it's about Dee Ann, save your breath.
She's tough.
She'll be all right.
Look, everyone deserves a second chance.
Can you just think about it? I'm always thinking about my girls, trying to protect you.
And where the hell has that gotten me? Is everything okay? Wish I could say for sure, but I have no idea.
Kendra: Riley.
Look like you got your own business to tend to.
What were you thinking, putting ideas into Luke's head? Bobby and I are getting married! Luke and I are just friends! And now you've messed it all up! Kendra, will you calm down? Now, he needed to tell you how he felt.
Well, I wish he hadn't! Luke's the guy I call when I need someone to really listen.
He's my best friend.
Are you sure he's not more than that? Come on.
All this talk about your wedding date and you eloping? Don't you think if you wanted to marry Bobby, you would have done that already? No.
No, that's crazy.
I guess I'm just confused.
What do I do now? [ Sighs .]
I don't know.
But if you're following your heart, you can't go wrong.
[ The Civil Wars' "Poison And Wine" plays .]
You only know [ cellphone ringing .]
what I want you to [ cellphone beeps .]
Hey.
You're calling late.
Evan: About last night It's okay.
We should talk.
We're talking right now.
In person.
I'm coming over.
Oh, E-Evan, I don't think that's a good idea.
Riley.
Please.
Okay, it's late.
And we'll talk.
I promise.
We need to talk.
Okay.
[ Cellphone beeps .]
Oh, breathe.
[ Sighs .]
Oh, I don't love you, but I always will ♪ oh, I don't love you, but I always will ♪ I don't love you, but I always will ♪ I always will [ Doorbell rings .]
[ Doorbell rings .]
And I don't love you, but I always will ♪ I don't love you [ doorbell rings .]
but I always will Okay, I told you I'm coming.
[ Knock on door .]
God, Evan.
I'm gonna kill you.
I always will I always will Kyle.
Bobby just texted me, and he's thinking we should just look around here and get married.
Well, whose are these, anyway? Dee Ann.
Me? This guy I'm seeing It's just fun.
What if it turns serious? It won't.
What if it does? I had a client today.
Could have swore he was police.
I'd appreciate it if you'd check it out.
You know I always look out for you.
I'm buying the salon.
If Taylor buys the salon, I can't work here.
I'm Mark, by the way.
Yeah, we met a few weeks ago.
Oh, yeah.
I would like to take you on a date, too.
What do you think? Sounds good.
[ Sighs .]
Evan: All right, good job.
Good job, guys.
Riley: Come on, Trav! All right, Trav, get ready! Here they come! [ Indistinct shouting .]
[ Whistle blows .]
[ Groans .]
Yeah! All right! All right, you'll get the next one, buddy.
That's how we do it.
It's okay.
Hey, ref, where's the whistle? Ah, you don't need a whistle.
Let them play.
Number 9 threw an elbow.
You guys, this is kids' soccer, not the world cup.
Exactly.
They're kids.
They'll flail.
Well, if he's gonna continue flailing like that, someone's gonna get hurt.
Well, good thing we have a doctor here.
Okay, do not make me call a time-out.
[ Whistle blows .]
Oh, I-I better check on him.
Okay.
Lacey: Oh.
That looks like it hurt.
Mm.
Good-looking, successful, great dad.
Is it too soon for a nickname? 'Cause I'm thinking "Dr.
perfect" has a nice ring to it.
Lacey, nobody's perfect.
Mm.
But he comes pretty darn close.
Hey.
Is Zack okay? Uh, he's determined Just like his dad.
Which reminds me Someone still owes me a date.
Me? Oh, you don't give up, do you? Not a chance.
The country club is hosting this new members event.
I was wondering if you'd keep me company.
I won't be dying of boredom she'd love to.
Uh, Lacey, do you mind? Yes, I would love to.
It sounds fun.
It's a date, then.
Okay.
[ Whistle blows .]
Oh, that's game.
Thank God.
Good job, buddy! All right! Um, I'll load up.
We'll meet you at the car.
Good game.
I'm so proud of you.
I want to go home.
How was your game, Katie? I was bad.
Well, if you ever want to practice, I'm happy to help.
I don't want your help.
Okay, hey, you know what? I'm sorry Long morning.
Oh, I understand.
Uh, maybe I could come by this weekend and I could show Katie a few pointers.
[ Kicks ball .]
I don't want his help! Hey! Hey, what's up, little No, no, no.
We got this.
Thanks.
Come on.
Luke: Breathe in [ Inhales deeply .]
And breathe out.
[ Exhales deeply .]
If you want achieve bliss, you have to let go of any negative energy that surrounds you.
Seems a little hokey, if you ask me.
Luke's here as a favor to me.
Show some appreciation.
Next, I'm gonna ask that you harness your root chakra.
Buy a girl dinner first, will ya? [ Grunts .]
I asked Georgia if I could bring my friend Luke in.
Been telling him how crazy things have been around here, and he offered to lead us in a meditation, help us find our center.
Kendra, we can hear you.
Sorry.
Well, at least he's cute.
I know, right? Isn't he adorable? What on earth? Excuse me.
Hey, who wants to go to Galveston tomorrow and work on our tans? That sounds great, but Mark's taking me to something at the club.
Selena: Hold up.
You're going to the Sherwood Country Club? As a guest? You know, when we worked there, I always dreamt about going back and giving those snobs a piece of my mind.
Yeah, that is the last thing I plan on doing.
'Course, there's no reason why I couldn't join them now.
Girls, let's silence our thoughts and our voices.
[ Sighs .]
Guess Kyle leaving had a silver lining after all, huh? You trading up for some rich doctor.
Maybe you should meditate out some of that jealousy.
Luke: And Breathe.
Please.
Original Air Date: June 10, 2012 Settle in, everyone.
As the new owner, I want y'all to know how thrilled I am to be your boss.
I think we're gonna get along swimmingly.
Yeah, like rats on a sinking ship.
From here on out, all clients must have an appointment.
Never know what kind of riffraff will come in off the street.
That's ridiculous.
Some of our best customers walk in off the street.
Brazilian blowouts They're big money.
I want each of you to take an all-day training session by the end of next week.
Ooh, Linette, Linette, Linette.
It's just day one.
It's okay.
I'm in control of myself.
Also, we will be phasing out perms.
Oh, for Pete's sake, Taylor.
Perms are a huge part of our business.
Was it's not 1982, in case you hadn't noticed.
Why can't we do both? Blowouts for the younger clients and then the same services for the older ladies.
Because, Lacey, I want to bring in a newer clientele, and in order to do that, this place needs sexing up.
Linette: Taylor You walk in here with your fancy ideas and your fancy shoes Thank you.
And you want to change things that don't need to be changed.
I am growing this business, Linette, and if my ideas don't sit well with you, you can find your way out.
Would you calm down? You're making a scene.
You're gonna get me in trouble.
All right, this is what you do to me.
You make me crazy.
Early in the afternoon I hang up the paper moon speaker's in the windowsill I begin my phone calls tiki, tiki, tiki, tiki torch señoritas on the porch Riley: So, how you doing, Alex? I miss this.
[ Cellphone rings .]
Uh-oh.
Nope.
Don't even think about it.
Well, it could be an emergency.
The only emergency is how tense you are, and I'd call 911 if I wasn't so good at my job.
[ Cellphone rings .]
Really? Lord.
Unh-unh Hello.
Oh, no, I'm sorry.
He's a little indisposed right now.
Why, yes.
I will notify him immediately.
Thank you.
Is everything okay? I don't know.
Are you paying too much for your long-distance carrier? No.
Now, if you're really good, maybe you'll get this back.
Ray, stop.
I said I can't.
Okay, I'm having a hard time keeping up here.
You keep changing the rules on me.
We have a good thing going.
Why do you want to throw it away? You are truly gifted A real artist.
Well, thank you, sir.
Do my best work in oils.
Ray: Where is this coming from? Hot one minute, cold the next.
What was that? [ Sighs .]
Probably nothing.
Relax, please.
Now, does that feel good? Mm-hmm.
I'll take that as a "yes.
" You're making a fool of me.
It's kinda stepping on the mood, don't you think? Okay, well, let's just see if we can push on through.
I don't care about your clients I'm sorry.
One second.
[ Dee Ann and Ray arguing .]
You gonna be okay in here? [ Clears throat .]
You were a good boy.
Hey! What the hell's going on in here? We're just talking.
You know, everything Everything's fine.
I wasn't talking to you.
Dee Ann, are you okay? I mean, people are trying to work out here.
We can hear you.
You're right.
We're sorry about that.
Be sure and keep it down.
Um, actually, Ray was just leaving.
This isn't over, Dee.
I'm fine, Riley.
No, Dee Ann.
Something is going on in here.
You're obviously upset.
Now, why don't you just let me help you? Ray and I have been Seeing each other.
Are you in love with him? No.
I We were just messing around.
Least, that's what I thought it was.
Please tell me he's not on the list.
You got to end this.
I tried, okay? He said he would keep coming back until I changed my mind, and Riley, he's on the city council.
He knows everyone in town.
I'm just I'm worried about what he might do.
[ Sighs .]
There's only one way to handle this.
No.
Please don't say it.
We have to tell Georgia.
Riley She can help you, okay? Trust me.
I don't ask much of you girls.
Hell, I pretty much let you do whatever you please.
But the rules are there for your protection.
I know, and I'm so sorry.
Making fantasies come true is only half of the job.
The other half is making sure these guys know that it is just a fantasy.
You go messing around with them outside of here, and you're just confusing them.
He wasn't confused.
Georgia, he was really upset.
I wish you could've seen it earlier.
I'll take care of him.
The thing that worries me is you girls thinking you can just change the rules as you go along.
You were careless, Dee Ann.
I know.
I-I just I got caught up.
You can't afford to get caught up.
Georgia, I know that you're upset, but everybody makes mistakes.
And I'm saying it only takes one mistake.
But Dee Ann apologized.
That's what makes this so difficult.
Dee Ann, honey, I'm afraid we're gonna have to part ways.
[ Chuckles .]
You're kidding, right? You're firing her? Georgia, you can't You can't do that.
Yes, I can.
And I just did.
I just still can't believe that Dee Ann was fired.
Well, maybe it's a blessing.
A blessing? That girl's out of work because of me.
All I'm saying is, in your line of work, maybe getting fired isn't the worst thing that can happen.
Shh.
What are you two gossiping about over here? Nothing, mama.
Well, well, well.
Very interesting style, Linette.
Very retro.
What do you think you're doing? Just inspecting your work Quality control you know.
You did not say that.
Oh, yes, I did.
Mama.
Don't worry, girls.
I do a lot more than just cut hair.
People that sit in my chair We laugh, we cry together.
We share our lives.
I've been a hairdresser for 35 years, and I'm not gonna stand here and let you disrespect me and the people I love.
I quit.
Now, who's going with me? Lacey? Oh, Linette.
You know I love you.
I love you so much.
You know that.
But I can't.
Dale would kill me.
Mama, are you sure you want to do this? Riley! Not another word! Okay, yes, ma'am.
[ Door opens .]
[ Door closes .]
You know, I hate to say it, but you did the right thing.
[ Sighs .]
Oh, Lord.
Then why do I feel so awful? It's okay.
Hey, Luke.
Can I introduce you to Riley? Riley? Lukey? Campbell? Jurgenson? Hi! [ Laughing .]
Hi! Hi! Aw! It's "Luke" now.
I always hated when you called me "Lukey.
" Sorry.
Wait you two know each other? Yeah, Riley used to babysit me and my kid brother.
Oh, he was quite the Tasmanian Devil Always playing with fireworks and skateboarding.
Oh, no, it was It was just a phase Only took me 18 years to grow out of it, but [ Cellphone rings .]
Oh, it's Bobby.
I better catch him while I can.
See y'all later.
[ Cellphone beeps .]
Uh, y-you busy? Want to grab a coffee, catch up? Oh, God, I would love to, but I'm crazy busy.
Okay, all right.
Maybe later this week.
Georgia's gonna have me back.
She says this place could use some good mojo.
She's right about that.
It was really good to see you, Lukey Uh Luke.
Grown-up.
Okay.
Hello, Georgia.
Sure do appreciate you meeting me after hours.
Hope you know my girls will make it worth your while.
They always do.
We should be celebrating Your promotion.
S.
O.
B.
s passed me over again.
The thanks I get for 25 years of service.
That's a real shame.
Bet you're already plotting your revenge.
[ Glasses clink .]
Got a question for you.
I figured maybe you did.
Councilman Ray Stirland Do you know him? He fancies himself a player.
He's nothing but talk.
All hat, no cattle.
Exactly.
He causing you trouble? He's been messing with one of my girls.
You know I have a zero-tolerance policy when it comes to their safety.
You want me to have a chat with him? He's easy to find.
He has dinner at that table almost every night.
You're a good man, Cliff.
But I got this.
I just needed to know what I'm up against.
If you need any backup I know who to call.
What are you doing in here? I'm your 12:00.
You said you didn't have a minute to catch up.
Now you got 60.
Hey.
Do you remember all those nights you used to let us stay up late, telling us about all the places you wanted to go, all the adventures you planned? So, tell me Machu Picchu Did you ever go? Wow.
I have not thought about that in years.
Remember you were gonna hike the Inca trail, backpack through Peru? Well, I made it as far as Omaha, Kansas City, and Tallahassee.
Kyle's U.
T.
games.
I thought for sure you'd leave Beaumont.
Uh, I made it all the way to Sugar Land, didn't I? [ Both laugh .]
Okay.
What are you really doing here? 'Cause you didn't come to talk about my travel history.
[ Chuckles .]
You're good friends with Kendra.
How's she doing? I mean, you know, I-is she happy? Kendra always wanted a big wedding, but Bobby talked her into eloping, and she says everything's great, but I don't know.
I guess I just wanted to make sure she's okay.
How long have you been in love with her? From the moment she walked into my yoga class and handed me her homemade affirmation cd.
She lit up the room.
And she has no idea? No.
That's why I wanted to talk to you.
I thought maybe you could help me.
Oh.
Well, I'm officially not helping other people with their problems.
Okay, why don't you just tell her how you feel? No.
[ Clears throat .]
No, I ca I can't do that.
Well, why not? What are you afraid of? Not seeing her smile, hearing her voice I mean, what if I scare her off? Then, I'm not just losing the girl I love I'm losing my best friend.
Okay, now, that is not like the Lukey I knew.
He was fearless.
You were gonna see the world.
Maybe we don't get to have it all.
Evan: Get there! Get there! Come on! - Aah! - Yes! - Man! - Whoo! Aah! Hey! What'd I say about kicking a ball in the house? Ha ha! Not fair! Give it back! It's mine! Man, she's been moping around all day.
Yeah, I keep asking her what's wrong, but she won't say.
[ Sighs .]
You all right? Seem a little on edge.
Long day.
Thanks for watching after the kids.
- You staying for dinner? - No, I got to run.
I'm gonna meet Selena at the Pony Keg for happy hour.
Oh, wow.
That's still happening? I know you don't approve.
No, no.
It's none of my business.
It's just, things were looking up for you, and I'd hate to see that get in the way.
Well, she keeps things interesting.
And you're one to talk, going out with that stiff.
Uh, you know what? Just because you're going out with Selena doesn't make you a relationship expert.
Just looking out for you.
Yeah, and I'm just trying to have a little fun.
Of course.
You know what? Why can't I go out with a nice guy and just enjoy myself? - Riley, relax.
- No, and that's another thing I don't need, is you telling me to relax.
I didn't mean to make you upset.
Forget I said anything.
Look, Evan, I'm really grateful for all that you've done, but you've got your own life, so you don't need to go meddling in mine.
You're right.
You don't.
And let me make things easy for both of us.
I'm gonna keep my distance from now on.
Great.
Good.
[ Door opens, closes .]
Lacey: Hello! If that doesn't say "country club approved," I don't know what does.
Well, thank you.
Thank God I don't have to go back there in my uniform.
Nothing says "outsider" like polyester blend.
Mm.
Please.
[ Knock on door .]
Oh, I'll get it.
Okay.
You look pretty, mommy.
Thank you, baby.
[ Door closes .]
Wow.
You look amazing.
Hey, what did I say about soccer in the house? Sorry, mommy.
Remember, Katie.
It's all about control.
Key is to stay relaxed.
Uh Go on, you two.
Okay.
Got a big day planned.
Dinner, baking cookies, story time It's gonna be a party up in here.
Okay, you be nice to your Aunt Lacey.
Hey, Travis, mama's leaving.
Travis: Bye, mom! And, Katie, my offer's still good any time you want to practice.
Well, look at this way At least one of us is happy to see you.
Bye, y'all.
Lacey: Bye.
[ Jazz music plays .]
Evan.
What are you doing here? Wasn't my idea.
Trust me.
Why am I not surprised? Well, this should be fun.
Believe me, I'll do my best to keep my distance.
Well, it's a big club.
We should be able to do that.
I got to say, it seems like everywhere I go, there you are.
Well, what can I say, Flemming? You're irresistible.
Hi, girl.
Changed your hair, huh? Brazilian blowout You love it.
So, you crashing? I prefer to say I'm being socially creative.
Oh, so you are crashing.
No reason you get it all.
Hi.
I'm Selena Ramos.
Dr.
Mark Flemming.
I know who you are.
Riley here has told me all about you.
Well, this is great.
Why don't you join us? I like the way you think.
Shall we? Mark: There we were, in Prague in this exquisite listening to "Il Trovatore.
" The lights go down, and from the very first note, we both start crying.
Oh, my God.
That sounds amazing.
You cried? The music moved me.
You had to be there.
I've never been to the opera Or Europe, for that matter.
Well, we'll have to correct that someday, won't we? You know what? Maybe we should go mingle.
There's plenty of time for that.
It's so nice to meet your friends.
She's real tight-lipped about work.
I bet you two have a lot of fun.
Selena: Oh, yeah.
See, we, uh, we pride ourselves on customer service.
Yeah, let's not bore him with shop talk.
I think it's fascinating.
I did an ortho rotation during my residency at Johns Hopkins.
I saw how beneficial massage therapy was for patients.
Oh, yeah.
Believe me, we change lives.
Well, hello, Riley! Selena.
Hey, Bonnie.
You look great.
Oh, why, thank you.
You're still as sweet as can be.
You know, we sure do miss you around here.
[ Chuckles .]
[ Clears throat .]
Excuse me, uh, running my mouth.
Can I get y'all something? Another round, please.
Selena: All right, let's get this party started.
Who wants to dance? Come on.
[ Laughing .]
That's funny.
I hope she's joking.
Uh, no, I think she actually wants to get up and shake it.
Mark, you look like you know how to cut loose.
Let's go.
Selena, I-I think you're making the guy uncomfortable.
Thanks, Evan, but I can speak for myself.
I love dancing, but there's a time and a place.
All right.
Maybe later.
So, Mark, tell me What's a girl got to do to become a member here? I mean, is it all about who you know or can I just write a check? Selena, geez.
What? You don't give up, do you? Not a chance.
Mark: If you're interested in membership, you should speak to Bob Cunningham over there.
All right.
You coming? Uh, no.
I'm I'm good.
Actually, uh I think I'm gonna head out.
Evan, you can't just ditch me.
This is important.
You drag me here under false pretenses, crash Riley's date.
Fine.
I'll find my own way home.
I'm sure that won't be a problem.
Bob will be entertained.
That's for sure.
It's too bad she's wasting her time.
What do you mean? There's no way they'd let someone like her be a member.
Like what? Oh, no no offense.
It's just that Selena's not exactly country-club material.
Some of us are fine Bordeaux, and others are Box wine.
You, on the other hand, are a vintage cabernet.
And I meant everything I said earlier.
There are so many things I would love to show you.
You know what, Mark? I like box wine.
Thought you were leaving.
I was.
Decided since they were scrimping on food, I'd take advantage of the open bar.
How are you? I'm okay.
Today didn't go exactly as I planned.
Hors d'oeuvre? I swear that stuff is making me hungrier.
Seriously, don't they have any real food around here? You know what? I have an idea.
Come on.
Katie, Travis! Cookies are ready! Ohh! [ Sizzling .]
Oh, crap! You said a bad word.
No, I didn't.
Yes, you did.
You said Tell you what.
[ Chuckles .]
You don't tell your mom what I said, and we can order pizza later.
Deal? Deal.
Katie! Where's your sister? Don't know.
Katie! Katie, where are you? Hello? [ Sighs .]
Ozzie's bacon cheeseburgers the thing I miss most about this place.
I don't know.
You seemed pretty comfortable in there.
Well, it's a good life.
I mean, you got to admit that.
A lot of girls would love it.
I don't see the appeal.
A bunch of uptight jerks, if you ask me.
Hey! Some of the best people in Beaumont work in there.
So, you and Dr.
Mark.
He's a good guy.
[ Chuckles .]
The best.
[ Chuckling .]
Come on.
He's got some wonderful qualities.
Oh, yeah.
He's fantastic.
I mean, Riley [ As Mark .]
"There's this incredible ballet in brussels.
" "I was crying all over the place.
" [ Laughing .]
What is that face? "I'm gonna go ride in my Mercedes.
" "And, Katie, why don't I show you how to kick the soccer ball?" [ Giggling .]
Stop! [ Imitates gunshot .]
[ Both laugh .]
You know what would make this even better? What? Fries.
[ Laughs .]
[ Laughs .]
Hello? [ Dialing .]
[ Cellphone beeps .]
Hey, Lace.
You need to come home, Riley.
Right now.
How soon can you get here? Okay, I'm coming.
What's going on? Just [ Voice breaking .]
Just get home quick.
Katie's gone.
Okay.
We got to go right now.
- Why? - Katie's missing.
Let's go.
Hey.
Nothing? Neighbors haven't seen her.
Police are outside.
I gave them Katie's photo, and they're gonna canvass the neighborhood.
I'm gonna keep looking.
Okay, I'm coming with you.
Linette's on her way.
Hey, Trav, you mind staying here, keep an eye on Lacey? Okay, Uncle Evan.
All right.
Thanks, buddy.
Councilman.
I hope I'm not interrupting important city business.
I always have time for you, Ms.
Cummings.
Thank you.
Ray I know you've been messing around with one of my girls.
Afraid that's none of your business.
That's between me and Dee Ann.
It's between me and my girls, so, yes, it is my business.
Okay, well, in that case, why don't I just come by this week and straighten things out? [ Chuckling .]
Well, that won't be necessary.
Dee Ann no longer works there.
You fired her? Huh.
That's extreme.
You know what's extreme? Getting involved with a married woman who provides certain services an important man such as yourself might want to keep private.
If I didn't know better, I'd think you were threatening me.
Ray, I have collected quite a list of friends over the years.
I know people, too, Georgia judges, councilmen, law enforcement.
I have had to deal with men like you my whole life scared little boys who think a fancy suit makes them untouchable.
You want to know the fascinating thing about power, Georgia? No matter how much you think you have, it's constantly shifting.
Piss off the wrong people, and it can change minute to minute.
What's that supposed to mean? It means from this moment on, the clock is ticking.
Riley: Two hours.
She's been gone over two hours.
Don't worry.
Everything's gonna be fine.
You don't know that.
I mean, she's out there somewhere at night, all alone, and I have no idea how to find her.
I can't lose her.
[ Voice breaking .]
I won't survive it.
Stop it, Riley.
All right, you need to stop thinking like that.
We just need to stay focused and calm right now, okay? Okay.
Okay.
You know, every night, when I put Katie to bed, I always I always look at her and I say, "how did I get lucky enough to have the best little girl in the whole wide world?" And you know what she says? Every night, she looks up at me with those big brown eyes, and she says, "'cause you're lucky, mama.
" [ Cries .]
Riley.
Riley.
Look at me.
We are going to find her.
I promise you.
[ Knock on door .]
What are you doing here? Oh, well, I was looking for Linette.
I thought I might find her here.
Not a good time, Taylor.
Oh, my gosh.
Are you two okay? That's none of your business.
Katie's missing.
What? The police are out looking.
So are Riley and Evan.
Oh, my.
Linette, you get your purse.
We're going.
Don't you start bossing me around.
Please.
You will feel better if you are out there looking.
Let me help.
It's okay, Linette.
We'll be fine.
[ Sighs .]
Let's head back to the house and circle around again, okay? Okay.
I just don't know why she'd run away.
I mean, everything was just starting to get normal.
She's been hanging on to that soccer ball for dear life.
Oh, I know.
I mean, Mark even offered to help her with it, and that just got her more upset.
You think that's why she left? Evan, I think I know where she is.
[ Engine shuts off .]
Katie?! Mommy! Are you okay? [ Voice breaking .]
Are you okay? [ Crying .]
Do you want to tell me why you decided to run away? I don't know.
I think you do.
I just don't want Zack's stupid dad teaching me anything.
Baby, Mark was just trying to help you.
Daddy was going to teach me.
[ Sighing .]
Okay.
I will help you.
Mommy, you are not good.
[ Laughing .]
Ohh.
Baby, don't ever run off on me like that again.
Promise? I promise.
What a sweet girl.
Sleep.
[ Sighs .]
[ Missy Higgins' "Where I Stood" plays .]
I don't know what I've done or if I like what I've begun Hey.
Hey.
I thought everyone had left.
Travis wanted one more story.
You sure you're all right? Tonight was awful.
One of the worst nights of my life.
Well, you got Katie back.
That's the important thing.
You were so sure that we were gonna find her.
How? Just had a feeling.
Can't really explain it.
Just knew everything was gonna turn out all right.
who I am, who I am without you ♪ and if they get lost again, you can be damn sure we'll keep finding them.
I don't know that I can do this.
Do what? Everything.
It's all just too much.
I mean, I-I didn't think I'd be doing it alone.
I didn't think it would be this hard.
I'm so sorry that I was mean to you.
I'm so sorry that I don't know how to relax.
I'm just sorry.
Hey, Riley, look, you don't have to apologize.
And you are not alone.
I'm not going anywhere.
See, I thought love was black and white ♪ that it was wrong or it was right ♪ 'cause I don't know who I am who I am without you all I know is that I should and I don't know if I could stand another hand upon you ♪ all I know is that I should 'cause she will love you I should go.
She who dares to stand where I stood ♪ ohh [ door closes .]
she who dares to stand where I stood [ Bells jingle .]
Hey.
Forgot my scissors.
[ Door closes, bells jingle .]
Well, I've got everything I need, so obviously, I'm not needed.
I'll go home.
And if you were needed Hypothetically speaking Hypothetically? Hypothetically, if we had walk-ins We can't have walk-ins You never know what kind of riffraff is gonna come in off the street.
I do now.
They mostly ask for you.
Mm-hmm.
And I also need someone who knows why the hot water goes off every day at noon.
Hmm.
You sure do need a lot.
And what do you need, Linette? Oh, every other Saturday off.
Be reasonable! Done.
[ Chuckles .]
Also, I want an hour-and-a-half lunch so I can run errands.
Don't get cocky! Oh, and, by the way, Nell will be here in just about 10 minutes for a permanent.
Thank God you are back! Oh, hush, now.
We have a lot of work to do.
This place has gone to seed.
I'm glad you're back, Linette.
Me too.
Me too.
[ Laughs .]
Luke: And switch.
Now join me in lotus position.
Close your eyes and breathe through your heart's center.
Ommmmmmm.
Ommmmmmm.
Ommmmmmm.
Ommmmmmm.
Namaste, ladies.
Namaste.
Namaste.
Namaste.
Namaste.
May you release your fears and uncertainty and go into the world seeking joy and happiness.
Yeah.
Okay, I'm gonna do the talking, and you're gonna listen.
Now it is time for you to let go of your fears and your uncertainty.
Grow a big ol' pair and get in there and tell Kendra how you feel.
You hear me? It's just like you said Life is scary and messy and almost never works out the way you planned.
Look, here's the deal Some people get to fly around the world.
Others get two great kids.
And then some get the chance to find true love.
So before she goes off and marries Bobby, you have to tell her.
What if she breaks my heart? Maybe she will.
But maybe she won't.
You know, I, um I made it to Machu Picchu.
[ Sighs .]
You did? Yeah.
All these years, I just, um I wanted to say thanks.
Afraid I have a bit of a situation on my hands.
I wish I could help you, but I'm afraid you're on your own this time.
What's going on? Look, I'm really sorry, Georgia, but this whole thing is a lot bigger than the two of us.
And I can't afford to get in the middle of it.
What are you talking [ Telephone beeps .]
Clif [ Dial tone .]
Well, that wasn't so hard, now, was it? Anything else? No.
We're good.
And don't worry.
Your higher-ups will be hearing from me.
I wouldn't be surprised if they reconsider your promotion.
This is a win-win for both of us, you know.
That woman Needs to be put in her place.
Mm.
Hey.
Georgia, I want to talk.
If it's about Dee Ann, save your breath.
She's tough.
She'll be all right.
Look, everyone deserves a second chance.
Can you just think about it? I'm always thinking about my girls, trying to protect you.
And where the hell has that gotten me? Is everything okay? Wish I could say for sure, but I have no idea.
Kendra: Riley.
Look like you got your own business to tend to.
What were you thinking, putting ideas into Luke's head? Bobby and I are getting married! Luke and I are just friends! And now you've messed it all up! Kendra, will you calm down? Now, he needed to tell you how he felt.
Well, I wish he hadn't! Luke's the guy I call when I need someone to really listen.
He's my best friend.
Are you sure he's not more than that? Come on.
All this talk about your wedding date and you eloping? Don't you think if you wanted to marry Bobby, you would have done that already? No.
No, that's crazy.
I guess I'm just confused.
What do I do now? [ Sighs .]
I don't know.
But if you're following your heart, you can't go wrong.
[ The Civil Wars' "Poison And Wine" plays .]
You only know [ cellphone ringing .]
what I want you to [ cellphone beeps .]
Hey.
You're calling late.
Evan: About last night It's okay.
We should talk.

In person.

Riley.
Please.
Okay, it's late.
And we'll talk.
I promise.
We need to talk.
Okay.
[ Cellphone beeps .]
Oh, breathe.
[ Sighs .]
