Kate: Put 'em up, bitches, it's ladies' night!
Mm-mm-mm-mm-mm!
Well, mel's cheating on me.
-What? -No!
Val: Yes, ma'ams. Not a doubt in my mind.
What, uh-- what makes you think that?
Oh, it's obvious.
He's cagey and secretive
And slinking around behind my back.
Mm-hm.
I've tried asking him about it.
He didn't blink for a solid minute.
Leave him.
Well, hang on--
Sloane: Pull that cord before it strangles you.
Well, well, let's just hold on. Let's not get crazy.
I just-- first of all, you don't have any actual evidence.
And second, even if he was cheating on you,
Which he isn't,
Nathan cheated on me,
And, uh, we've never been happier.
Huh?
The point is, we shouldn't be
Worrying about this tonight, okay?
Tonight is supposed to be about turnin' it up,
You know what I mean?
Val: Honestly, I don't think I'm in the right head space
To turn anything up tonight, what with mel obviously...
Definitely cheating on me.
It's not obvious. Nothing obvious about it.
In fact, you know what? I have to clear my head.
Excuse me, ladies.
Kate: Great idea! Take a lap, clear that head.
Very smart.
Mel's not cheating on val, he's proposing.
Tonight!
No!
Yes! It's supposed to be a surprise.
We're supposed to show her a great time.
-Good job, by the way. -Well--
And then get her to the gazebo by 7 pm.
Why didn't you tell us this in the first place?
'cause mel didn't want us to know.
He thought she'd pick up on it. She's very perceptive...
You know, when she's not...
Jumping to the opposite conclusion, I guess.
You definitely should have told us.
Anne: Mm-hm.
It doesn't matter, okay? We gotta get back on track,
Because tonight has to be perfect.
Sloane & anne: Okay.
Oh my god, the mountie's here.
Buckle up, ladies, this night just took a nose dive!
♪
Oh!
Oh...
Sloane: I don't get it.
So you saw a mountie? Big deal.
Not "a" mountie, sloane.
"the" mountie. As in, val's ex.
The man I called "husband" for 16 years
Before he disappeared in the dead of night,
Never to be heard or seen from again.
Holy shit, okay.
Okay, so what are you gonna do?
Well, you probably wanna go, huh?
I'll get the cheque, we'll get out of here.
Val: Oh, I'm not going anywhere.
If there's one thing I'm sure of,
I'm gonna talk to him, and I am going to take...
My...
Time.
Yes!
-[clears throat] -no.
You've already wasted so much time on this guy, right?
We got a fun night ahead.
Here goes nothin'.
[quietly] you guys had one job!
-What the fuck? -Anne: What do you--
-[loud slap] -[all gasp]
Okay, quick and to the point.
Wow.
Kate: Wait, what is she doing?
I don't like this.
Brb, ladies.
Time to take a trip to the past.
Wait, where are you going?
The mountie wants to step outside
So he can explain himself.
And I, frankly, want to step outside so I can raise my voice.
Ten minutes, tops.
No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no--
Oh, anne, I'm gonna do that thing--
What is it you say? I'm gonna...
Yank his scrotum up over his head like an atomic wedgie.
Yeah, that sounds like me.
I'm gonna decimate him.
Isn't this exhilarating?
It is, oh, it is,
But you know what else could be exhilarating?
The four of us go to the movies!
Val: Kate, you know,
I'm gettin' a weird vibe from you.
Do you not want to see your best friend have some closure?
Kate: No, I do, I do!
I actually-- like, I really, really do.
I...
It's...
Ten minutes, right?
Not a minute more!
Okay, I really gotta go.
Come on, anne, please! Don't fuck me!
I'm sorry, I just-- I booked a meeting for alice
With this college admissions rep that I know,
And she's only in town for the night,
And it's a really big opportunity.
Alice is like 16!
I mean, isn't college a little far away?
Anne: I know, but after the shit storm that we've been through,
We are focused on the future in my house,
And nothing but the future.
Come on, please!
I'm sorry, I'm sorry. The meeting's around the corner.
I'll be at the gazebo in time for the proposal.
Forty minutes! An hour, max!
Set your phone alarm...!
Set your phone alarm!
