Dreadful staff, dreadful food.

- But here I am.
- Yes, about that.

I think we'll win first place this year at New Haven.
The Silvermans' tulips You could cut the tension with a knife, but they're smiling, they're drinking, they're chatting about flowers.
Hmm, trust me, they are not chatting about flowers.
They are speaking Wasp.
We learn it at an early age.
- What are they saying? - See, now, that's the thing.
Usually, I know.
But this time, I have no idea.
Maybe I'm crazy.
I mean, maybe everything is fine.
Which would be creepy because nothing is ever fine.
Oh, here she comes.
Uh, Miss Montgomery.
Ahem.
Now, Samuel, how many times have I told you to call me Bizzy? Yes, Miss Montgom Bizzy.
Ma'am.
What is that? Milo.

That's so sad.
People will believe you.
And you'll have to lock it up or something.

So, Bizzy, uh, what brings you here to L.
A? Excuse me.
Huh.
Yes? - Sam? - It's Dell.
What happened? - I don't know.
The house just exploded.
It had to have been a gas leak.
I don't know.
Twenty-four-year-old female, extensive second- and third-degree burns.
Possible inhalation injury.
BP's 100 over 60.
Pulse, 130.
Let's go.
Let's go.
On my count.
Ready? - One, two, three.
Need a high-flow 02.
- Two I'm gonna need a blood gas and carboxyhemoglobin.
We're on it, Cooper.
I tried to get them out, but I could hear screaming.
I couldn't see anything, so I got Betsey.
By the time I got to Heather, she - I couldn't get them both.
- You did the right things.
- Get a liter of lactated Ringer's.
- You're interfering with our protocol.
Okay, you have to let my team work.
They do this every day.
- Not Dell every day.
- I know that.
Now step back, both of you.
I need to be with both of them.
What do l? Pete, go with Heather.
You go with your daughter.
Okay, let's move.
- I'll get you an update as soon as I can.
- Please don't let her die.
Okay, out of the way, now.
Let's go, let's go, let's go.
Okay, Heather.
No.
Betsey! Where's Betsey? - You need to keep the mask on.
- No! - Heather, you need to keep the mask on.
- Betsey Betsey is alive.
She's unconscious.
She's in the ER.
Cooper is working on her.
Dell is with her.
Now, you need to keep the mask on.
She's got second- and third-degree burns over 60 percent of her body.
Her lungs have sustained severe inhalation injuries.
- We should have an ECMO unit.
- I've already ordered it.
Let's give her morphine.
Do you know her well? I used to work with her husband.
What's the prognosis? In my experience, - Dell, I'm so sorry.
- If there's anything we can do I'm supposed to deliver the Higgins' baby.
They're waiting.
I already took care of it.
The on-call doctor's gonna deliver.
It's fine.
Did I give my insurance card? They're gonna need it.
Dell, I'll make sure they have all the information, okay? Hey.
Hey, Dell.
I took a look at Betsey's CT scan.
She has a moderate brain contusion.
And she also has carbon-monoxide poisoning.
Now, most people wake up in a few hours, but because she's so small, it's gonna take a little longer.
- Heather.
How is she? - I don't have an update on Heather yet.
But they know what caused the explosion.
- Okay.
- Maybe we should go outside.
- Just say it.
- Um Heather was cooking meth.
They think it was ether.
Dell, we've got Heather stabilized.
She's asking for you.
I know you don't wanna leave Betsey, but Heather? Don't try to speak.
Can you hear me? Can you understand me? Good.
I hope you die, bitch.
You almost killed my daughter.
I hope you die a miserable, painful, agonizing death.
No! - You're almost there, Heather.
Almost there.
After this, we're gonna test your lung function.
Help us decide our next move, okay? He hates me.
He wants me to die.
Just let me die.
Heather, listen to me.
You can't give up.
Dell doesn't want you to die.
He's upset.
He's worried about Betsey.
But you've gotta fight, okay? - You've gotta fight.
- Give me more drugs.
Just make it stop! Okay, Heather.
- He said that? He's upset.
It's his way of dealing with a tragic situation.
To tell somebody who's fighting for their life you want them to die? I don't care what she did.
- That's crossing a line.
- He couldn't have meant it.
Do you guys think he knew that Heather was doing drugs again? Got you all coffee.
I'm gonna go check on Heather.
I didn't know about the drugs.
I wouldn't have put Betsey in danger like that if I knew.
- Since you were all wondering.
- Dell, no one thought It's so cold in here.
She hates the cold.
You know, she's always asking for more blankets at night.
- She needs another blanket.
- Okay.
You know what, Dell? Why don't? We're gonna go and talk to a nurse and see if we can get some more, okay? - Can you believe all this? - I know.
I feel terrible.
I feel like I really should've pushed him harder.
I should've made him really think about letting Heather back into their lives.
There's nothing you could've done differently.
Nothing anyone could've done differently.
Well, maybe you're right.
I don't know.
Hey, wait.
Let's just have a one-minute mental break.
- Sure.
Maya? - Same.
Hating me and loving Pink or Rink or Dink, whatever his name is.
- Bizzy? - The same.
Cocktails, cold smiles.
You know, maternal.
Something's going on, but Bizzy.
Yes.
I will pick up some more on the way home.
- All right.
- Crisis? More gin.
- I'm sorry.
- Me too.
Addie.
Susan? What? What are you doing here? - Ha-ha-ha.
Hi.
- Oh, my God.
You look great.
You look How long has it been? You look the same.
Oh, about eight years, and I look a mess.
- You have your mother's skin.
- Oh.
- So how is it? - She's driving me crazy.
He is driving me crazy.
I don't know how you work for them.
Remember to breathe, and many cocktails.
- What are you doing here? - You know Bizzy's rule.
- Wherever she goes, I go.
- Susan, why is she here? I have no idea.
She didn't tell you? You really don't know? - Let's go face the dragon? - Breathe.
Many cocktails.
Hey.
Look who I found.
Susan.
I brought the documents for the Houston Charity Ball.
Hello, captain.
Who wants a drink? Excuse me.
- You're turning down drinks? - Good night, Addison.
- Did something happen with Dell? - No, no.
Susan, she runs the family office.
Do you remember her? I like her.
She's close in age to me, you know? And she would do things for me.
She would deal with my mother for me.
Anyway, she's been working for us for 20 years.
She's like one of the family.
She shows up here, and And? What is it? I think the captain's sleeping with her.
I think that's why he sent for Bizzy, because anywhere Bizzy goes, Susan goes too.
He invited his wife out so that she would bring his mistress? That's my father.
And my mother trusts her.
I mean, she lives on the estate.
You know, now he does this.
Unh.
I mean, right under Bizzy's nose.
And now they're here in my house.
Uh, I need a drink.
- No, no, no, you don't.
- Oh, I do.
You need to tell those people to leave instead of putting up with their lies.
Just kick them out, before your liver drowns in gin.
Sam, I can't tell the captain and Bizzy to leave.
They're the captain.
And Bizzy.
You are Addison Adrianne Forbes Montgomery.
You have more names than anybody else I know.
Tell them to leave.
I can do it.
I could.
- Tell them to leave.
- Tell them to leave.
- Tell them to leave.
- Good girl.
Everything's gonna be okay.
Don't worry.
- I love you.
- Susan? Captain, Bizzy's right down the hall.
Captain Addison? How'd it go? What was Bizzy's face like? - What happened? - I can't.
I just I Do you mind if I spend the night here? I promise I'll, um - I'll stay on my side of the bed.
- Yeah, sure.
Morning.
You're short.
I mean, usually you're in heels.
Very high heels.
I hope you don't take that as a criticism.
It's a nice change.
You okay? Fourteen-down.
I'm stumped on 14-down.
- I'm sorry? - I was working a crossword puzzle, and I couldn't figure out 14-down: "Future hunters.
" - "Future hunters" is a clue? - Yes.
Do you know the answer? - L - "Future hunters.
" I know the answer to that.
It's just not coming to me right now.
I mean, if I could just figure out the answer And I know how I sound.
No.
I know that if I look at you, like Think I'm some sort of crazy woman or something.
But trust me, you want me to be thinking about 14-down.
If I don't think about 14-down, I'm gonna have a nervous breakdown.
And I can't do that right now.
I can't.
Why don't I ride up with you the rest of the way? You wanna come to my office? Do you believe that people are owed? Ahem, I sometimes believe that you're owed, you know.
And I think Betsey's owed one.
She's just had such a tough life.
You know, teenage parents and a mom on drugs.
And I'll never know what this has done to her.
But I figured she's owed, right? She's had it so bad, that this can't be her end.
Because then what was her life for? Just suffering? That would be cruel.
That would be just beyond cruel.
I Dell.
Betsey? Hey.
Betsey? - Get it out, Naomi.
- Okay, okay.
Just relax.
I'm gonna count to three, and then I want you to blow out.
One, two, three.
It's okay.
- Good girl.
Good girl.
You're okay.
Okay.
Good job, kiddo.
You're okay.
- I'm gonna go get Cooper.
- Okay, okay.
Hey.
Hey.
It's okay.
Hey, it's gonna be okay.
Where's Mommy? Where's Betsey? Heather, your potassium is too high from tissue damage.
It's affecting your heart rhythm.
You need oxygen.
Okay, what do we got? - She's having runs of V-tach.
Lido 75, IV push.
I need that calcium.
V-fib.
Charge to 200.
Everybody off.
Clear.
She dead? No.
Heather crashed.
We got her heart started, but she's dying, and she knows it.
Dell, I know you're angry, but Heather is going to die.
You can choose not to see her, but she wants to see her daughter.
- No.
- Dell, it's her mother.
No, a mother is someone who loves her, someone she's supposed to have good memories about.
She shouldn't have memories of her mother burnt to a crisp because she didn't give enough of a damn about her daughter, or me, to stay off drugs.
No, Pete, I'm not gonna let my daughter's last view of her mother be this.
Just, no.
I hate him so much.
You hate your father for? For breaking her heart.
And for forcing her to do this.
He cheated on her for 40 years.
She had no one.
She had no one to talk to, to comfort her.
Of course she turned to Susan.
Is it possible that this relationship with Susan is your mother's choice? I know what it's like, okay? To be rejected.
To have your heart broken.
To be lonely.
Is that how you feel now? We're not talking about me, we're talking about her.
Actually, we're not talking about her.
We're talking about your father.
Which is interesting.
- You had this traumatic experience - It wasn't traumatic.
- Okay.
- You suck as a therapist.
- Okay.
- Why am I here? I don't know why I'm here.
Why am I here? Maybe because I'm a stranger, you can talk to me, tell me your feelings.
I'm neutral.
I'm Switzerland.
I'm just here to listen.
Wasn't traumatic.
Addison, I'm here to help you, and to talk, and to let you talk, but I'm not sure you're focusing on the right things here.
And I'm sure that I am.
Then why didn't you get off the elevator when you saw your mother? You might be right about your mother and your father, and far be it for me to question what should make you angry.
But you haven't talked to either one of them.
And your point is? Well, maybe you need to get off the elevator.
It's okay for her to have ice cream? Yeah.
Wouldn't hurt for you to get some food too.
I wanna start over.
I wanna get as far away from this day as possible.
- Get her home, not that we have a home.
- Come stay with me.
My home is yours.
You know that.
As long as you need.
You guys, good news.
Betsey's neurological exam's completely normal.
She shows no evidence of any kind of ongoing problems.
Seven-year-olds are resilient as hell.
So I would like to keep her another day to monitor her, just as a precaution, but she is officially out of the woods.
That is great.
Which means you can eat.
So I'm gonna go to the cafeteria, I'm gonna get you some food, and no arguments.
- Okay.
Thank you.
- You're welcome.
- Uh, where's my daughter? - She's with Dr.
Wilder.
Betsey, I want you to be prepared.
Your mom is all bandaged up to keep her wounds clean, so don't be scared, okay? Ready? - Betsey.
Dell.
Betsey? - Daddy.
- Betsey? - Daddy.
Bring her back.
Oh.
Miss Montgomery.
- What are you doing here? - I'm waiting for Addison.
Addison is not here this morning.
- She actually, uh, went to - She's here.
She knows I'm here.
Oh.
- Have you talked with her? - Not yet.
- Have you? - No.
No.
I have not talked with her.
Sam, sorry to interrupt.
I'm gonna go to the hospital now.
Violet, this is Addison's mother, Mrs.
Montgomery.
Hello.
I'm sorry, I have to go now.
And what do you do here at my daughter's practice, Violet? L I'm a psychiatrist.
- Interesting.
- Yeah.
Have you met my husband? - The captain? - Um Yeah.
Uh, once or twice.
Did you meet him once, or did you meet him twice? Twice.
Yes, I believe twice.
I was hoping we could do some shopping today and then have lunch.
- What are you doing? What's going on? - Okay, that was a mistake.
Mother, I'm just I'm so sorry about what happened, about what he did to you.
Who did what to me? Look, I know, I know.
We don't talk.
We chat about, uh, flowers and pretend that he's not cheating on you, but let's not do that anymore.
Let's face it.
I'll face it with you.
- You've gotta be lonely and alone and - Addison, this is not your concern.
It's not my? - You're my mother.
- Exactly.
- Let's not discuss these things.
- No, we have to.
You're wrong.
- About your father.
- I'm wrong? Bizzy, don't He drove you to kiss another woman.
- Susan has been with me for 20 years.
- Yes, I know.
She's worked with us for ages, which is why Susan has been with me for 20 years.
- So, uh, shopping and then lunch? - Mother.
Sit down.
There was one girl in boarding school when I was 14.
And then there was the one in Switzerland on holiday when I was 17.
But those don't count.
It was cold, and we were girls.
But then I met Susan.
- And the captain? - What about him? Does he know? We don't discuss it, but, yes, he knows.
I think he's always known.
Did you ever love him? - Oh, my Bizzy, why did you marry him? - We're from Connecticut.
My father is a Bradford Forbes.
Okay, so let me get this straight.
- You're the cheating whore, not Dad? - I'm gonna go.
If you're gonna talk like that, I'll go.
- You have no idea how difficult it was.
- Oh, come on, Bizzy.
How hard could it have been? I mean, nothing was expected of you.
All you had to do was order the housekeeper around, run your charities, and screw your husband every Wednesday night.
How complicated is that? You have no idea.
You don't know me.
You don't know me.
You don't know anything.
You don't know one single thing about me.
I could have done things.
I could have been things.
But I'm a Forbes.
So I got married, because that was what I was supposed to do.
And I chose your father because he asked, and he was nice, and he seemed like he wouldn't suffocate me.
And by the time I realized my mistake, I had children.
So I made a life.
I did what I could with what I had.
And I may not have been in love with your father, but I loved him.
I do love him.
And I loved you and your brother.
And so instead of doing what I wanted to, which was run or slit my wrists, I threw birthday parties, and I smiled, and I kept my mouth shut.
And I raised you and your brother, and you both turned out brilliantly.
Susan was for me.
Susan was the one thing that was for me.
My children took everything else.
And I'm sorry, but until you have a child, you have no idea what it's like to be a mother.
You have no idea the sacrifices a woman makes when she has children.
So don't you dare judge me.
What the hell were you thinking? Naomi had to call me to calm Dell down.
He can decide whatever he wants for himself, but that little girl wants her mother.
That is not yours to say.
You made it worse.
Don't you dare lecture me about making things worse.
- You don't get to lecture me.
Dell.
Dell.
Dell.
You wanna hit me? Fine.
But there's a woman in there who you loved, the mother of your child, her child, who desperately wants to see her.
You're pissed.
You have a right to be pissed.
If you don't make peace with this, if you don't make peace with it now, you're never gonna get another chance, and it will eat at you.
Dell, let Betsey see her mother - before she dies.
- Stay away from me.
Just stay the hell away from my family.
You wanna tell me this isn't personal? Maybe you can condone keeping a child away from their mother.
Maybe that makes sense to you.
Not to me.
Heather made a mistake, but if that child doesn't get to say goodbye, you tell me what it does to that kid.
Drink before you speak.
She's very upset.
Is she? I'm sorry.
That's so sad.
Drink some more.
Just give me one good reason why my entire childhood was a lie.
- One good reason.
- We were trying to protect you and Archer.
Really? Because I'm a cheater, Archer's a cheater.
We're all these awesome cheaters.
So, you know, that's a bunch of crap, protecting us.
I want a good reason.
She's the love of my life.
We've been married for 40 years.
Forty years.
My entire adult life, she has been at my side.
I love her.
She's my best friend.
She's my everything.
It's not her fault, you know.
She didn't know.
We didn't know.
And when we did She's the love of my life.
It's complicated.
Love is complicated.
Being a lesbian is not a choice.
She's not going to change her mind.
Hell, she's practically screwing Susan right under your nose.
The mouth on you, you know She sleeps with one woman.
I sleep with all the rest.
- So what? - And that's good enough for you? My entire life, I thought she was this poor, pathetic woman.
I thought it was my job to cover for you.
And it made me hate you.
I mean, don't you understand? I hated the wrong parent.
L My cheating, I thought I got it from you.
But now I know that you're the poor, pathetic one because you love her, and she loves someone else.
But you stay.
This is like some pathetic, sad after-school special, which is just awful, because now Now I hate you both.
"Eaglets.
" - What? - Fourteen-down.
"Future hunters" is "eaglets.
" - Thought I heard you come in.
- Yeah.
- Betsey woke up.
- Got the call.
It's great news.
Yeah, and then Pete took Betsey to see her mom, and Dell punched Pete.
- We're one big happy family.
- Everything's bad now, I know.
- But give me another chance.
- Stop talking.
I said stop talking! Just, I'm tired of talking, and I'm tired of thinking.
Could you just stop talking? You gonna tell me what happened? Addison? Hey.
Talk to me.
Tell me Tell me Wait, wait, wait.
Not like this.
- Not like this.
- Please? - Hey, I said no.
No, no, no.
- Sam.
No.
No.
- I'm sorry.
- Shh.
- Don't be sorry.
- I'm sorry.
It's okay.
You people need to leave.
Leave this house.
Leave this city.
Go home.
Samuel, you have no right to interfere in this.
- It's okay.
- No, it is not okay.
Addison is over at my house right now, and I don't know what happened, but you people did it.
Sam, I don't think I've seen you since you were an awkward med student.
- All due respect, this isn't about you.
- No, it's about them.
It's their family.
I'm sure you care about Addison, but so do I.
So do they.
They're not just gonna run out because Addison is upset.
- And I will not let this destroy them.
- Well, she's my family too.
And I think I know her better right now.
So I'm not asking, I'm telling you, you need to leave.
Now, if Addison wants to make things right, then that's up to her.
But you are not going to push her.
- Sam - Look If you care about Addison And I believe that you do.
- Leave.
- Come back to bed, Coop.
- I gotta get back to the hospital.
You shouldn't be embarrassed.
Things have been really stressful lately.
- Dell's family - Oh, is it time for the sexology advice? "Lmpotence happens to all men.
It's usually just stress.
- Maybe we can cuddle instead.
" - Cooper.
You neglected to tell me that you were married before.
That's the problem.
- Cooper - No, shut up, okay? Shut up.
I hate you.
- She's just upset right now.
- Well, I'm upset too, okay? She hates me.
I'm not the one who almost killed her, you know.
I'm tired, Violet.
I'm exhausted.
I'm just trying to protect her.
And you are protecting her.
I know that.
You're protecting her from seeing something horrible.
But maybe you're protecting her from the wrong things, Dell.
I mean, my life is a mess.
You know that.
Ha, ha.
And you're probably right, I don't always make the best choices.
But, um, you know, I've always made them with, uh With Lucas With Lucas in mind, to protect him.
And, you know, maybe I'm right, but maybe I just know that if Heather could, she would take away all the hurt that she has caused you and Betsey.
Every last bit of it, Dell.
I found a pipe last night.
Last night.
I confronted her about it.
She said it wasn't hers, that she had a friend over.
You know.
And I knew she was lying.
I mean, I knew she was lying.
But I wanted, and I needed, to believe that she wasn't using again.
That she wouldn't do that to me or to Betsey.
That she loved us enough to stay clean.
So I walked out of the house, and I left my daughter.
I left Betsey.
And she must've been so scared when it happened.
I did that to her.
Me.
So I can't let it happen again.
Hey.
Dell.
Heather is going to die.
So you might want to allow her a little bit of mercy.
Just for one moment.
Dell? Dell? - Dell, you came.
- Heather, Dell is not here.
That's the morphine talking.
I'm sorry for lying to you.
I'm sorry.
I forgive you.
I'm sorry for hurting you.
I'm sorry for hurting our little girl.
Tell her Tell her I love her so much.
Tell her that Mommy made a mistake.
I love her so much.
Will you tell her, Dell? I'll tell her.
I wanted to be a good mom.
I wanted to.
I forgive you.
It's okay.
I love you, and I forgive you.
And our baby's gonna be okay.
So don't worry.
You just go ahead and go.
You can go ahead and go.
Just go.
Just go.
Heather? I'm sorry.
Addison? We're leaving, all of us.
Bizzy never meant to hurt you.
I tried to get her to leave.
I was the selfish one.
I wanted more.
But she wouldn't leave her children.
That should count for something.
We're flying out at 11.
Heather died.
So I'm going to the hospital.
- Wait, Addison.
- I'm coming with you.
Dell, I'm I'm sorry.
I have to, ahem, go in there and tell her that Heather's Betsey's gonna wanna know everything.
She's gonna ask me questions about everything that happened.
What do I say? You tell her the truth.
As painful and horrible as it is, you tell her the truth.
Hey.
Mommy didn't make it.
No.
Come here, Betsey.
It's okay.
I kept something from you that I shouldn't have.
I lied.
And I lied because I didn't want you looking at me the way you're looking at me now.
The way you're not looking at me.
I'm sorry.
And I'll keep saying it until it's enough.
Until you forgive me.
Okay? Heather's dead.
Did you call Wilson to complain? About the service on your flight out? No.
I'll call.
I can call.
Make some noise.
They won't wanna lose your business.
That would be nice.
Thank you.
