What are you doing?
I told you not to come around here,
Honey, I'’m home!
- BOY: Dad, what'’s going on? - Go back to bed, son,
Everything'’s okay,
I told you before, this is not your house,
and we are not your family,
You'’re wrong,
I'’m sorry things didn'’t work out, I really am,
But the things you did,
the things that you'’re doing, it'’s crazy!
Don'’t come here again!
Your loss!
Goodbye!
[door slams]
Oh, you two are up early,
No, you'’re up late,
What are you talking about? It'’s,,,
How'’d it get to be 7:30 already?
It'’s okay, I'’m making lunches, and your phone'’s by the door,
Thank you for the coffee, Mmm,
Hey, why don'’t you take a break for a second there, huh?
I just wanna finish making these lunches,
Yeah, I know, I appreciate everything you'’ve been doing
since your mom passed,
- Dad, I don'’t mind, - I do mind, okay?
I want you to take a break,
There'’s something I want to talk to you both about,
Okay, What'’s up?
Look, I know the last few years
have been really difficult on all of us,
and there'’s been some serious adjustments
that we'’ve had to make,
and I appreciate so much the responsibilities
that both of you have taken on around here,
But I am concerned that you haven'’t been spending time,
you know, on yourselves,
being a kid or a teenager,
doing fun stuff,
[chuckles]
And for me too,
I feel like there'’s something missing there for me,
And I met someone,
NICOLE: What'’s that mean?
Daddy has met a lady
who is kind of like more than a friend, you know?
NICOLE: Oh,
Who is this person?
Her name is Maddie,
We met on a dating app,
A dating app?
It is totally not like me at all,
Look, I understand that this is new territory,
For all of us, okay?
I figured, what the heck?
I'’ll invite her to dinner tonight,
Tonight? Don'’t you think
this is something you should'’ve talked to us about
before springing it on us the day of?
You are absolutely right, You'’re absolutely right,
I should have, and I'’m very sorry for not doing that,
I don'’t want to keep seeing her until she meets you both
because you two are the most important people
in my entire life,
Is that okay?
Yeah, it is,
I think it'’s cool,
You'’re late,
Ah!
All right, okay,
- Thanks for understanding, - Of course,
Love you both,
Bye, Love you,
All right, kiddo, let'’s go, I don'’t want us to be late too,
Is it time to go already?
I swear, you are your father'’s daughter,
If we didn'’t go to the same school,
I'’m convinced we'’d never be on time,
Come on,
[click]
Aha! I heard rumors you were in the copy room,
Well, well, well, look who'’s late again
I swear, if it wasn'’t for my daughter,
I'’d never make it,
Gonna be a long day today, huh?
Mm, That'’s an understatement,
The Keller account wants a whole new ad slick,
and they want to see new numbers by Monday,
- What? - But if we run over,
maybe we can grab a bite at that new Italian place
right up the street,
- Oh, um,,, - What do you say?
I would love to, but I can'’t,
I got, you know, like a dinner-movie thing
with the girls tonight,
Oh, okay, yeah,
Rain check?
Sure,
All right,
I'’m gonna go grab a quadruple espresso
to get this day started right,
You want something?
- No, I'’m good, thanks, - Oh, come on,
Doppio cappuccino, two sugars, huh?
Well, I'’m gonna get one for you anyway,
You'’re gonna love it, You'’re gonna drink three of '’em,
[school bell ringing]
PATRICK: So who is she?
LILY: I don'’t know, honestly, We'’re meeting her tonight,
How very Guess Who'’s Coming to Dinner,
He'’s literally,
How you feeling?
Honestly, I don'’t love it,
- Did you tell him that? - No, I mean, I can'’t,
Why not? Lily, this is the first girl
your dad'’s brought around since your mom passed,
I think he'’d understand if you'’re feeling a little wonky,
What I'’m feeling wonky about is that he'’s had her over already
and didn'’t tell us,
What do you mean?
I saw a woman leaving this morning,
She was sneaking out,
He'’s been having her stay over,
Way to go, Mr, S,!
I don'’t like it,
It'’s not like him to keep stuff from us,
Maybe he wanted to really make sure he liked her
before he introduced you,
It'’s a big deal for him just as much as it is for you,
It'’s a new chapter,
Yeah, maybe you'’re right,
I mean, he'’s put everything aside lately,
If he'’s not at work, he'’s making sure my sister and I are happy,
and he deserves to be happy too,
That'’s the spirit,
Hey, shouldn'’t you two be off to class?
Oh, give a kid a chance, why don'’t you?
You forget I'’ve seen your permanent record of chances,
You'’ve had plenty,
- Hi, Ms, Price, - Hi,
So I'’ll see you two at SAT prep this afternoon?
Of course, Lily won'’t let me not go,
Ah! That'’s my girl,
How'’s your admission essay going?
Okay, Good,
Honestly, I don'’t know,
I'’ve been looking at it so long, I'’m not sure anymore,
I just want it to be perfect,
Don'’t overthink it, Just write from the heart,
I guess,
Look, I know a lot has happened
these past few years,
I think you'’re getting caught up
on the whole academic minutiae of this essay,
when, in fact, you just need to let the university
know who you are,
Your mom, she had a big impact in your life, right?
Yeah,
That'’s what the essay should be about,
Show them you, Show them your heart,
Thanks, You'’re right, I'’ll try,
Good, We can talk about it more this afternoon
- if you want, - Okay,
I believe you have the potential to get into
any school of your choosing,
Both of you,
- Shucks, - [class bell rings]
Stop it, Now off to class,
Still stressed about that essay?
A bit, and I'’m sure this whole
"Dad'’s got a girlfriend thing" isn'’t going to alleviate things,
It'’ll be fine, If you need to talk, I'’m here,
Thanks,
And I mean, who knows?
How bad can she be?
[doorbell rings]
[knocking]
MICHAEL: Coming!
Hi, Am I too early?
No, You are just in time,
Maddie, this is my daughter Lily,
Lily, it'’s such a pleasure,
I'’ve heard so much about you,
- Yeah, Pleasure, - Oh, my gosh,
Is this her?
Oh, wow, You'’re even prettier than he said
Maddie, this is my younger daughter, Nicole,
Well, you'’re such a delight,
NICOLE: We haven'’t had anybody new over in so long,
let alone a woman with a sense of style,
Oh, I need your opinion on so many things,
Okay, [laughs]
What do you think?
Yeah, yeah, sure,
I know, It'’s new for me too, okay?
All right, I better go save her from Nicole
before she talks both of her ears off,
Good luck,
Whew! I cannot have another bite,
But everything was so good,
Yes, and I can guarantee you
that it was all made from scratch,
right here in our house,
definitely not ordered last-minute
from Nicole'’s favorite takeout place on Main Street,
Well, wherever it was from, I loved it,
So my dad tells me you guys met on an online dating website,
Yeah,
I didn'’t have much luck dating out in the real world,
I figured if I went on the Internet,
I could control my interactions with people,
You can never be too sure,
There'’s so many weirdos out there,
But thankfully, I found the exception,
Aww!
Well, what about you, Lily? You'’re in high school,
Any boys?
Oh, no, no, This is not dad conversation,
Oh, come on, Michael, She'’s practically a woman,
You know, when I was her age,
I noticed a basketball player or two in the halls,
- Oh, you did, did you? - Uh-huh
Don'’t be jealous,
Well, Lily?
No, No boys,
I guess I just have different priorities,
Maybe in college,
NICOLE: What about Patrick?
Oh, Patrick, huh?
Patrick'’s a boy, but not that type of boy,
He'’s just a friend,
Nicole'’s just being stupid as little sisters tend to be,
Well, I do appreciate your commitment to your studies,
Do you have your sights set on a particular school?
Yeah, yeah, I'’m hoping to go to Brown,
Brown, Wow, That'’s so far away,
You don'’t want to go anywhere closer to home?
I mean, I know it'’s across the country,
but it'’s an Ivy League school,
and they have a lot of good programs,
And it'’s where my mom went,
Oh,
That'’s a nice goal,
All right, well, I guess it'’s time for me to clean up,
I will be in there in just a moment,
Anything that I can do?
Hmm, Yes, as a matter of fact,
You can sit right there, relax and be beautiful,
Actually, do you mind if I use the bathroom?
- I just want to freshen up, - Uh, sure, yeah,
Nicole, you want to show her where the bathroom is?
No, you don'’t have to do that, You finish eating your food,
Don'’t give me any special treatment,
Just point the way,
Right upstairs, center of the hall,
Okay, thank you,
Psst! Honey, you playing with that,
or are you finished?
I'’m all done,
Well,,, kitchen,
Will do,
I'’m back!
[phone chimes]
What are you doing?
Oh, I heard a beep, and I thought it was my phone,
But I think this was your dad'’s, Someone named Cynthia?
Yeah, they work together,
Oh, well, then you better get it to him,
- Dad? - What you got there, Lily?
It'’s Cynthia, Work'’s calling,
Oh, Never ends,
- MICHAEL: Dishes, - Yeah,
MADDIE: This was a lovely night,
- Thank you, - Yeah,
Gave me a good reason to break out the fine china,
We have fine china?
- It was great to meet you both, - You too,
- It was fun, - Likewise,
Will you come back soon?
If your dad says I can,
I will work something out,
MADDIE: Good night,
Good night, girls, See you soon,
All right, up to bed,
PATRICK: Tell me everything,
LILY: What do you want me to say?
PATRICK: Give me the details,
She'’s nice, I guess, Pretty,
Nicole really liked her,
And you?
I don'’t know, It'’s weird,
But my dad really lights up when she'’s around,
so that'’s kind of cool to see,
PATRICK: That'’s cute,
LILY: Yeah, There'’s just something about her
that'’s not really connecting yet,
That'’s to be expected,
I guess, but it'’s not really like that,
I mean, I don'’t like the fact
that my dad was sleeping with her before we even met her,
It feels manipulative,
But it'’s like when she'’s around, she'’s super nice,
It'’s almost like she'’s too good to be true,
I thought I caught her snooping through my dad'’s phone though,
PATRICK: What, you'’ve never peeked at someone else'’s phone?
LILY: Yeah, but this feels different,
Lily, it'’s not,
- Fine, - Trust me,
She'’s probably more uncomfortable than you,
I bet she was just trying extra hard to impress you,
- You think? - Yeah, I do
'’cause I know how hard you are to impress,
Good night, Patrick,
Night, amiga,
Who you talking to? Is that Patrick?
Yeah,
Did you give him a good report?
Were you listening?
No,
Just curious,
LILY: There were minimal complaints,
MICHAEL: Ah,
Well, thanks for tonight,
Of course,
- Night, honey, - Night, Dad,
Are you sure you'’re okay?
I'’m fine,
All right, all right, okay,
MICHAEL: I thought the library was tomorrow night,
LILY: No, it'’s tonight,
MICHAEL: Then what'’s tomorrow night?
Technically, also the library,
It'’s just this admissions essay,
- I just want to get it right - Honey, I told you,
You gotta spend some time on yourself,
- [knocking on window] - Hey, Cynthia'’s here,
Hey, everyone, Hope I'’m not interrupting,
No, come on in,
Did I forget that we'’re carpooling today or,,,
Uh, yeah, we have the Keller presentation,
Remember we'’re supposed to go to their office together?
That'’s today?
Oh, come on, Michael,
Oh, no, I'’m ready for it,
I just forgot, Let me grab my jacket,
I don'’t know how you put up with him,
You'’re preaching to the choir,
So how'’s it been? Keeping your dad in line?
I'’m trying, It'’s not an easy task, as you know,
Aw, come on, honey, it'’s not so bad,
You know where my phone is?
In your usual spot,
Ah, yes, yes, yes,
It'’s going fine, Nothing crazy, Just school,
Oh, I know you'’re preparing for your college prep,
I admire that, Perseverance pays off,
Thanks,
So how was dinner last night?
Oh, it was great, Dad ordered food
from that place off of Main Street,
and it'’s always fun to have someone new over,
Oh, did you have some friends from school over?
- He didn'’t tell you? - Tell me what?
We'’re gonna be late, Come on,
Okay, yeah, if the crosstown traffic'’s bad,
LILY: Dad,,,
MICHAEL: Later, later on,
- Love you both, - Talk to you guys later, okay?
So good to see you both,
Yeah, totally, I don'’t know how she gets away with it,
I know, I was like that too,
I just never worried about it,
[school bell ringing]
I'’m sorry, You can'’t park here,
Oh, I'’m sorry, I didn'’t realize,
I was just making sure my girls made it to school safely,
That'’s sweet, hiding back here
because the kids don'’t want to see Mom dropping them off,
[chuckles]
Yes, I'’m their mom,
I see it all the time, These kids want to look cool,
Don'’t want mom creeping up on their style,
They'’re lucky to have you looking out for them,
Oh, they have no idea,
- Thank you, - Don'’t mention it,
That was great, And the look on Keller'’s face,
When you dropped the projected market totals on him,
he was like,,, [gasps]
And the fact you used his own analytics
in the argument against him, it'’s priceless,
I don'’t want to brag,
I don'’t know how you do it,
I'’ve never met a computer code I couldn'’t crack,
I love the challenge of discovering its secrets,
And that is why I never let you use my computer in a meeting,
[chuckles]
We make a good team, huh?
Yeah, I guess we do,
- So, um, big plans tonight? - Oh, tonight?
No, no, just the usual,
You know, hang out with kids, go over all those reports
for the meeting tomorrow, that'’s for sure,
Oh, yeah, What was it that you were gonna tell me earlier?
Something about dinner,
No, I don'’t remember anything,
Must not have been a big deal,
- [phone buzzing] - One second,
Shoot,
Uh, I gotta grab this,
Later though, We'’ll catch up later, all right?
- Sure, - Hey, again, great job today,
- Fantastic, - Thanks, yeah,
See ya, Yeah, this is Michael,
Can you believe this selfie Amber posted?
Nobody loves the pretzel kiosk at the mall that much,
I just don'’t know what my dad sees in her,
I don'’t know why he'’s so head over heels,
- About Amber? - No, Maddie,
You still fixating on that?
He'’s my dad, I'’m allowed to fixate on it,
I just don'’t know if I like her yet,
You don'’t like anybody,
That'’s not true, I like you,
True, That'’s how I know you'’re not totally hopeless,
But you have to admit,
you do tend to have a harsh judge of character,
There'’s nothing wrong with being discerning,
something you could learn to be better at,
[whispers] Hey!
Lily'’s in there with her friend, and I didn'’t wanna interrupt,
Listen, the first thing you gotta realize about parenting
is you don'’t ever worry about interrupting,
Well, you gotta share your secrets,
I will, Later,
Is that why you'’ve got Saturday detention for an entire month
because you let Steve from the track team convince you
it would be a good idea to egg the principal'’s house?
You and my parents are not gonna let me live that down, are you?
Hey, we all have devils on our shoulder,
and it was a lapse in judgment,
It'’s in the past,
What are you two talking about?
Something scandalous?
Do you mind? We were having a private conversation,
I'’m sorry, I just couldn'’t help but overhear
that you'’ve gotten into trouble over a peer pressure situation,
I just want you to know that'’s okay,
We'’ve all had our misbehaved moments,
You must be Patrick, I'’m Maddie,
A pleasure, If you don'’t mind, though,
I don'’t really like talking about it,
Of course, I meant no harm,
Hey, hey, hey! What'’ve you two been up to?
Uh, Patrick was just leaving,
Um, yeah, Bye, Mr, S,
- Good to see you, buddy, - Good to see you,
- Bye, - Bye,
I miss something?
Want a drink?
Sounds great,
[phone chimes]
Wow, Hmm,
Who was that?
Oh, it'’s work, It can wait,
This has been a great night so far,
And it'’s not over,
[car approaching]
[car door closes]
- [door opens] - Michael?
Is someone here?
There shouldn'’t be, Um,,,
- Cynthia, - Hey,
We have plans that I forgot about or--
You left these at the office, I wanted to bring them to you
'’cause I know you needed them for the project,
I tried calling, You weren'’t picking up your phone,
I can'’t believe that I forgot these,
Yes, Thank you so much, You are lifesaver,
I know,
I don'’t believe we'’ve met,
Oh, hi, I'’m Cynthia, I work with Michael,
Oh, I'’m Maddie, Michael'’s girlfriend,
Girlfriend,
You'’ve heard me talk about Cynthia, my business partner,
Oh, yeah, I know,
It'’s such a pleasure to meet you, Cynthia,
Likewise, although I'’m afraid you have me at a disadvantage,
Well, you'’re welcome to join us for a glass of wine,
Oh, no, no, no, I have to get back to work,
- Oh, what a shame, - Yeah,
But it was nice meeting you,
Likewise,
- I'’ll see you at the office? - Yes,
Sure,
Uh, will you excuse me just for a minute?
Oh, yeah,
Cynthia, Cynthia!
- Hey, hey, - Hey,
Uh,,,
Walk with me for a minute,
I, uh,,,
I owe you an apology, Um,,,
I know this is really weird,
I didn'’t mean for you to find out about it this way,
That'’s for sure,
I just don'’t know why you couldn'’t have told me yourself,
I mean, is this the reason why you'’ve been dodging me,
avoiding more than surface inquiries?
Yeah, yeah,
I wanted to tell you, believe me,
I just didn'’t know how,
You know, you and Amy,
you were such close friends for so long,
I thought that it might be,,,
strange for you to see me with somebody new,
Wait, So you didn'’t tell me because of Amy?
Yeah, You two have always been so close that this,,,
Oh, yeah, me and Amy were close, but you and I are close too,
We'’ve been in each other'’s lives for a long time,
I just don'’t know why you couldn'’t have told me,
I wanted to,
I just,,,
I just think that maybe it felt like,,,
Because I felt like if I told you
that it would suddenly become real,
like if I did,
then I would have to admit to myself
that I was finally over her or that I had moved on,
CYNTHIA; So you'’re happy?
Yeah,
Forgive me?
Yeah,
Dad?
Cynthia, are you leaving?
Yeah, I'’m afraid so,
I was just dropping something off,
Can I talk to you for a second?
Okay with you?
Oh, of course,
Have at it, I'’ll see you at the office,
Sure, See you tomorrow,
- So,,, - Yeah?
You met her,
I did,
How are you doing?
What do you think about the situation?
Of her?
I don'’t know,
She seems nice, but something'’s off,
CYNTHIA: Off?
LILY: It'’s strange,
I don'’t know, Maybe it'’s just me,
I mean, it'’s a strange situation,
Well, maybe I'’ll do some digging,
put some concerns to rest,
LILY: Okay,
Hey, listen, if you need anything, anything at all,
you just call me, okay?
Okay, Thank you,
You'’re welcome,
Ah, there you are,
Looking all over the office for you,
You got a minute?
Yeah, yeah, yeah, sure,
I'’m just going over some emails, What'’s up?
I just wanted to make sure that we were cool,
I know you said that everything was fine last night,
but honestly, you were absolutely right,
I should have told you about Maddie a long time ago,
Look, it'’s fine, I mean, you'’re not obligated
to tell me every detail of your life, Michael,
I know, I know, I just--
I trust you, I know you would'’ve told me
when the time was right,
It was just a,,, It was just a shock, that'’s all,
I know,
You'’re the best,
Rigby'’s office in ten? Conference call?
Yeah, yeah, yeah, Just finishing up some emails,
so I'’ll be right behind you,
"With the strategic and objective--"
Strategic and objective? Lily, you'’re writing an essay,
not planning a military campaign,
Focus,
Remember, write from the heart,
[phone chiming]
Hello? Hello?
Oh, yeah, Hey, what'’s up? What'’s up?
That was great, I haven'’t seen an afternoon movie in ages,
Yeah, well, once I found out I had the rest of the day free,
I figured I might as well surprise you,
You did,
Sorry it wasn'’t a better movie,
Ehh, It was perfect because I was with you,
[chuckles]
You gonna stay for dinner?
You sure?
Yeah, I'’ll order some pizza, Keep it simple,
Girls will love that,
- Deal, - [phone buzzing]
Oh,
Hmm,
- Work? - Yes,
I'’m gonna take this in the other room,
Okay,
Hello,
Yeah, yeah, the presentation couldn'’t have gone better,
They loved our numbers, I'’ll tell ya that,
Figures looked great,
Sure, I'’ll be happy to crunch it again,
probably come in under budget, absolutely,
What are you doing?
Uh, I was ordering pizza,
I didn'’t think you'’d mind,
Were you reading my social media?
[scoffs] No!
Hey, wh-what'’s this?
She was going through my social media,
She was reading my private messages,
I can explain,
You better start,
We said we were gonna order pizzas for dinner,
and I thought I would use your computer to order them
and surprise your dad,
Yeah, of course you can use it to order pizza,
So why don'’t use your phone then?
This seems really deliberate,
It was an honest mistake,
In what world was this honest or a mistake?
I know that you don'’t like me, Lily,
And so you thought this was gonna make it better?
I thought that if we could find
some common ground,
we can move past this awkwardness,
I thought that if I could find something that you like,
we could bond over that,
Oh, don'’t be-- You'’re not serious,
I mean, you don'’t believe that, do you?
Honey, I don'’t think she was doing anything on purpose, okay?
You'’ve got to be kidding me,
- I-- - Lily,
I-I was just trying--
Don'’t worry about it, okay? I got this, Just,,,
- Lily, - You didn'’t knock,
Yeah, I don'’t have to, I happen to own the house,
Dad, you can'’t even pretend like what she did was okay,
I'’m not going to do that,
She knows what she did was wrong,
and she feels really bad about it,
Yeah, well, she should!
Lily, she'’s trying,
Yeah, she made a mistake,
That'’s why she made it because she'’s trying to get to know you,
to see if you have anything in common,
Oh, come on!
Lily, this is not how you behave,
She is at least putting in an effort,
- You could do the same, - I don'’t want to put in effort!
- Why should I? - Because I'’m your father,
and I'’m asking you to,
Your mother and I didn'’t raise you like this,
I expected you to be better than this,
Why can'’t you see why this hurts me?
I do, I do, Honestly, I really do, honey,
but you also have to see this from my point of view,
This is somebody that I care about,
I'’m in this for the long haul,
If I ask her to become part of this family, and she accepts,
I would hope that you would welcome her into this house,
Wait a second, For the long haul?
You know what I mean,
And you thought this, of all times,
was the time to tell me that you think
you may want to marry this woman?
- Lily-- - Really?
- I'’m not saying that, - No, No,
I need you to leave,
Seriously?
I just need a minute,
Yeah, okay, okay,
I understand, All right,
What is going on?
[phone chimes]
Who are you?
Thanks again for today, and I'’m sorry about earlier,
That'’s all right, She'’ll get over it,
If you don'’t mind my saying so,
she doesn'’t seem to be handling this very well,
Well, you know, I mean, it is an adjustment,
The stress of college, you know?
I can'’t believe she wants to go to school so far away,
If I can'’t be near my family, that would bother me,
You don'’t really talk about your family much,
I already told you,
My mom died when I was little, and then my dad left,
then I bounced around for a bit and ended up at my aunt'’s,
I'’m sorry, I didn'’t mean to bring up bad memories,
I just didn'’t know if you still thought about them,
In a way, I'’m never not thinking about family,
When I was growing up,
all I ever wanted was the perfect family,
just like all the other kids had, like on TV,
A mom, a dad,
It seemed so simple, yet so unobtainable,
Babe,,,
And then when I grew up, I realized that,,,
if I can'’t have the perfect mom,
then maybe one day I could be the perfect mom,
The perfect wife,
The perfect stepmother,
You will be,
That'’s what I'’m hoping,
Bye,
Wow,
Hello,
Are you Tyler Bridges?
Yeah, What'’s this about?
I know you don'’t know me, but I was wondering
if I could ask you a few questions about a woman,
Look, I keep myself to myself,
and I don'’t really know a lot of people,
so I can'’t help you,
Do you know her?
Maddie Sawyer,
Yeah, I do, but her name isn'’t Maddie,
At least when I knew her,
It was Claire Sullivan, and she'’s trouble,
Can I ask what happened?
It was years ago,
but that lady was a real piece of work,
She moved in with my uncle, tried to marry him,
When my uncle discovered she was getting intense with his kids,
he tried to kick her out,
and she didn'’t want to go quietly,
She would show up in the middle of the night at his house,
claimed it was her house,
Squatter rights even gave her a decent case,
The resulting chaos left my uncle broke
and drove him out of town,
It was a mess,
He barely answers calls anymore, afraid it might be her,
I'’m so sorry,
Do you know what happened to her? Claire, was it?
No, When she didn'’t get what she wanted, she just disappeared,
And let me give you some advice if you'’re looking for her,
It'’s best she stay gone,
That is one lady you don'’t want to find,
Anyway, my family worked really hard
to leave Claire Sullivan in the past,
I suggest you do the same, Have a good day,
Wait, wait, wait!
I'’m not happy, Cynthia,
You'’re sticking your nose where it doesn'’t belong,
How did you get into--
Do you always take such an active interest
in the personal lives of your coworkers?
Michael is more than just a coworker to me,
We'’ve been in each other'’s lives for a really long time, okay?
I'’ve watched his kids grow up,
and his late wife was a friend of mine,
So he can'’t move on without your permission?
He can absolutely do whatever he wants,
but when I find out the person he'’s involved with
isn'’t being entirely truthful,
I think I'’m a right to be concerned,
Isn'’t that right, Maddie?
Or is it Victoria?
Or is it Claire?
If you'’re hiding something, Michael deserves to know,
You want to talk about deserve? What about what I deserve?
What are you talking about?
I deserve happiness and a chance for a family
without people like you interfering,
I think you should get out of my car,
And I think you should get out of my business,
You want him, but you can'’t have him,
And now you want to come between us
because he didn'’t choose you,
Well, this is my family,
Do you hear me? Mine!
Look, l told you, I don'’t wanna talk about--
Claire?
You should be careful with the things you tell people, Tyler,
or it might just come back and get you,
PATRICK: She'’s a bit much, but it kinda seems like
you'’re looking for a reason to dislike her,
LILY: Are you kidding me?
This social media thing seems like a pretty good reason to me,
Parents snoop, okay? It'’s what they do,
I'’m just happy I know more about computers than my mom and dad,
- She'’s not my parent though, - You know what I mean,
Excuse me, I still haven'’t received your admissions essay,
I know, I'’m so sorry,
I'’m just putting the finishing touches on it, I swear,
Remember what I said: Don'’t overthink it,
The essay should be about you, where you come from,
what'’s important to you,
- My mom, - Your mom,
Thank you,
Just get it to me by Saturday morning, okay?
- You got it, - All right,
That'’s the third time you checked your phone,
Am I missing something?
I'’m just waiting on a message,
Just don'’t get busted,
Remember when Mr, Hawkins caught that kid
messing with his phone in class?
That was you,
Details!
You'’re right though,
Hey,
How long you gonna be hiding out for?
I'’m not hiding out, I'’m working on my essay,
Oh,
It is the weekend, You can give it a rest,
Ms, Price said she'’d be around tomorrow
if I wanted to turn it in, so,,,
Hmm,
Lily, um,,,
- Is she here? - No, she'’s not,
She'’s out running some errands,
I figured it would be a good time for us to talk,
Talk about what?
She'’s trying, Lily, She really is,
Would it kill you to try as well?
You really care about her, don'’t you?
Yes, yes, I do very much,
And she'’s been through a lot,
I know this isn'’t easy,
And I know what it seems like, but I can promise you,
she is not trying to replace your mother, Lily,
No one can replace Mom,
She just--
She'’s just trying to be a friend, that'’s all,
Yeah, sure,
Lily,,,
Yes, I care about her,
And yes, I care about you and your sister so much,
And this is very difficult for all of us,
But if there is some way that you can manage
to try and get along with her even a little bit,
it would help me out a lot,
I mean, is that too much to ask?
Maybe a little,
All right, I'’ll try,
Really?
But not for her, For you,
I may not like everything that Maddie does,
but if she'’s telling the truth,
that she'’s doing all of this for you,
then I guess I can try and meet her halfway,
Besides, I can'’t have her showing me up,
You are my dad, after all,
[chuckles]
Thanks,
No promises,
[laughs]
It'’s a start,
♪♪ [pop]
LILY: I can'’t focus,
Of course not, when you keep checking your phone,
Hey, you'’re on your computer,
Yeah, watching cat videos,
not deconstructing the ethics of 18th century France
or whatever you'’re doing,
Okay, I'’ll relax my way, and you relax yours,
Okay, what'’s up?
It'’s this whole Maddie thing,
I mean, we don'’t even know anything about her,
And that might be okay with my dad,
but I, however, want to know what kind of woman
is coming into my house and into my life,
Fair,
You said they met on a dating site, right?
Yeah,
Show me,
There, That'’s it,
- [typing] - What are you doing?
I am logging in as your dad,
Wha-- Can you even do that?
[typing]
Just did,
How'’d you-- What?
I love a good challenge when it comes to computers,
And your dad'’s had the same email address for years
and never changes his passwords,
Patrick!
Patrick, you need to log out of my dad'’s dating profile,
This is so beyond not okay,
- There we-- - Patrick, I'’m not kidding,
And there you go,
Wait, what is this?
That'’s Maddie'’s profile,
I found the messages that she and your dad exchanged,
did a reverse search, landed on her page,
and then dug into her account info,
Right there is the address that she used to pay from,
so that'’s where she lives,
Are you even allowed to do that?
- Ah, who'’s to say? - Patrick,,,
What? You said you wanted to know things, so here you go,
I can'’t believe I'’m doing this,
- Ah, live a little, - [click]
Done,
[laughs]
Whoa, what'’s all this?
Maddie? Of course you'’re here,
Yes, Maddie and I were supposed to have a date last night,
but she got caught up with work,
so she decided to come over after the gym
and do a morning date,
And I volunteered to make breakfast,
That was very nice of you, Thank you,
This looks pretty good,
Pretty good? It'’s amazing,
It'’s way better they eating soggy cereal in the kitchen,
while you make sandwiches,
You love those sandwiches,
Meh,
I think what she'’s trying to say
is that it'’s just nice to let somebody else
make breakfast for a change, right?
LILY: Can argue with that,
Oh, I forgot the white toast,
It'’s a white toast kind of morning,
Well, looks like you woke up on the right side of the bed, huh?
It'’s this admissions essay, I finally got it done,
I mean, I feel cross-eyed from proofreading all night,
but now all I have to do is get it to Ms, Price,
That'’s great,
It must be a real weight off your shoulders, huh?
Honestly, yeah,
and I was thinking that maybe we could celebrate,
It'’s not every day that I turn in the biggest paper of my life,
and on a Saturday, no less,
MICHAEL: Absolutely, It'’ll have to wait
until the afternoon or evening,
I got a bunch of stuff I gotta do around the house today,
But you know what you should do?
Maddie'’s taking Nicole to go check out that new coffee truck
down on Main Street after breakfast,
You should go with them,
Oh, uh, yeah, sure, why not?
- Yeah? - Yeah,
Well, in that case I am going to make myself look presentable,
You girls don'’t need to be seen with me looking like this,
You finish breakfast,
I'’m gonna go get ready, okay?
Okay,
What can I say? She makes good white toast,
I'’ll be the judge of that,
"My hero is my mother,"
Hmm,
Well, that won'’t do,
That won'’t do at all,
MADDIE: Girls?
There you are, We thought we'’d lost you,
Now, girls, you know a good beauty regimen takes time,
Are you ready?
Oh, yeah, I'’m all done,
WOMAN: Your girls are so sweet,
Thank you, I'’m very proud,
Aw, well, I see where they get it,
especially the little one,
You have a similar sparkle,
That is so nice,
You know, ever since she was born,
people have remarked about how similar we are,
I think it'’s that mother-daughter bond,
She'’s my perfect little angel,
Well, it'’s a beautiful thing,
Thanks, Maddie,
Oh, there'’s that sparkle,
Uh, sparkle?
Uh, well, you have a nice day now,
You too, Hey, take care of your mother now, you hear?
I'’m sorry, What did you just say?
Did you just call her our mother?
LILY: Mother! She said she was our mother!
Lily, calm down,
Calm down? How is this even remotely okay?
I said I was sorry,
I don'’t care!
- Lily! - I told you,
The woman was being very nice,
and I didn'’t want to correct her,
I don'’t see what the big issue is,
It'’s not an issue, Lily is blowing this out of proportion,
Out of proportion?
You know what? Nicole and I had a mother,
and she is not her,
a fact that I'’ve haven'’t forgotten, even if you have!
Hey, wait a minute!
I don'’t wanna listen to this anymore!
Michael, Michael, just give her a minute, okay?
Hey,
You okay?
I guess,
Maybe we should get out of the house,
get our minds off of it,
go out to dinner?
Sure,
- I can make a reservation, - Mm-hmm,
Okay, My phone'’s in my purse, so I'’ll be right back,
Okay,
I know you'’re up to something,
I just know it,
Patrick, I need you to come over,
Now,
PATRICK: You'’re sure this is Cynthia'’s handwriting?
I'’ve been getting birthday and Christmas cards from Cynthia
since I was a baby,
- I'’m positive, - It doesn'’t make any sense,
Why would this be in Maddie'’s purse?
What is all this? It'’s a lot,
Something'’s not right,
The snooping, the pretending to be my mom,
that'’s one thing, but this?
This feels real bad,
I mean, the fact that this was in Maddie'’s purse,
that can'’t be a coincidence, can it?
You need to tell your dad,
I don'’t know that he'’ll listen to me,
He already thinks I have it out for Maddie,
and he hasn'’t exactly been objective about her lately,
You need something more concrete,
something more than this,
Who even is this Tyler guy?
I don'’t know, That'’s why I called you,
You'’re good with computers and stuff, right?
I was hoping you could help me,
I'’m good with computers, but not as good as Cynthia,
If this is anything deep, I don'’t know what use I'’ll be,
Will you at least try?
Yeah,
This is weird enough, Now I need to know,
Do you need this?
No, you hang onto it,
I'’ll see what I can find out,
In the meantime, I should probably get going
before my parents flip,
School night and all,
Look, try not to get too stressed, okay?
I'’ll see if I can dig up anything solid about Maddie
for your dad,
Thanks, Patrick, for coming and for listening,
I really owe you one,
[school bell ringing]
PATRICK: I'’ve been up following leads all night,
and Maddie'’s name isn'’t attached to this Tyler at all,
- What about Cynthia? - No,
There'’s gotta be a connection,
Why else would Cynthia be digging around?
- I don'’t know, Maybe she'’s-- - Oh, Ms, Price!
- Yes, - Did you get my essay?
I did, and I have to admit I was surprised by its contents,
- What? Why? - I thought we discussed
writing an essay from the heart,
about someone who influenced you,
But I did,
I didn'’t realize your stepmother
had such an impact on your life,
You'’ve never even bothered to mention her before,
- My stepmother? - Yes, Your essay
about the woman your dad married after your mom passed away
and how her presence has had such an impact on your life
and how she'’s really been there for you,
Now, it was heartfelt,
but I'’m surprised it lacked your usual organization,
Ms, Price, I didn'’t write that,
Well, I don'’t know what to tell you,
It came from your email address, dear,
What? That'’s impossible,
I have to be honest with you,
You'’ve been noticeably distracted lately,
and whatever'’s going on with you,
it'’s definitely affecting your work,
Ms, Price, I swear I didn'’t write that,
You'’re free to write your essay on whatever subject you'’d like,
I just have to confess,
I was surprised and a bit disappointed,
Lil, listen,,,
It was her, Patrick, I know it was her,
Nicole, you should put that away,
- It'’s family time, - Mm-hmm,
It was you,
I don'’t know how, and I don'’t know when,
but she changed my college admissions essay,
Whoa, What are you talking about?
My essay! She changed it!
The contents were changed,
I wrote about mom, my real mom, and she messed with it,
Michael, I don'’t even know--
You do! You did!
Okay, honey, that does sound a little crazy,
Crazy? You know what'’s really crazy?
My new essay sings the praises of my stepmother,
That'’s what'’s crazy, Who do you think could'’ve done that, huh?
Okay, I looked at your essay, and you did a great job,
It was just a little bit flat,
so I made a few edits to improve the writing,
I was just trying to help, I'’m always just trying to help,
I just want what'’s best for this family,
Oh, God! This is not your family!
- Uh, it'’ll be fine, - Michael, I--
That bitch,
I was just trying to help, Honest, I was,
Look, I get it, okay?
I understand that that'’s what you were trying to do,
but I mean, you can'’t do that!
Doing additions to her essay?
There'’s got to be some boundaries,
And especially when it comes to stuff about their mother, right?
She'’s trying, She really is,
But you'’re gonna have to give her some space here,
I'’m sorry,
I'’m so, so sorry, Please forgive me,
Hey, I do, I do,
but it'’s not me you need forgiveness from,
- Let me see how she is, - Okay,
What did I say?
I told you not to play with your phone during family time,
It'’s disrespectful!
I'’m sorry, I was just talking to my friends,
When I was a little girl, I would'’ve given anything
to have a nice afternoon with family,
You'’re being selfish,
Dad doesn'’t mind,
Well, mommies and daddies do things differently,
and I'’m not your daddy,
Dads are good with discipline,
You need to learn some respect,
But,,,
And it'’s rude to ignore your mommy during family time,
And you don'’t wanna be rude, do you?
No,
That'’s what I thought,
Bingo,
What have we got?
Possible lead,
What are you gonna do?
At this point, whatever I have to,
Okay, Keep me posted,
I'’d better go, Let me know if you need backup,
Thanks,
I thought you'’d be burned out on homework,
What are you doing in my room?
Now, Lily, there'’s no need to be rude,
Oh, there'’s every need,
What you did, what you'’ve been doing,
you might have my dad fooled, but I'’m not buying it or you,
You'’ve been lying, and I'’m gonna prove it,
I haven'’t the slightest idea what you'’re talking about,
I came here to offer an olive branch,
I would do anything to keep this family together,
Again, not your family,
We'’ll see,
Get out,
Fine,
I'’ll leave, but just so you know,
I'’m not going anywhere,
Can I have my phone back now?
I promise I won'’t use it during family time,
I don'’t think so, Not today,
You need to learn,
That'’s not fair!
Life'’s not fair,
LILY: I'’m outside,
PATRICK: Is she there?
I don'’t think so, Her car'’s not here,
It'’s locked,
Of course it is, Lil, Check the windows,
I don'’t think I can do this, Patrick,
I get it, Breaking the rules isn'’t really in your skill set,
But if you think Maddie'’s up to something,
sometimes the only way to combat that
is to get up to something yourself,
I mean, this could be your chance to figure out
what she'’s been hiding,
- Okay, I'’m in, - Call me when you'’re out,
[hinge squeaking]
[thump]
[exhales]
[line ringing]
Well?
Patrick, she had photos of us all over the dining room table,
What do you mean, she had pictures of you?
Photos of me, my sister, my dad, She even had photos of my mom,
Okay, you better tell your dad,
I can'’t, He'’s gonna know I was at Maddie'’s house,
and who knows how he'’s gonna take that,
He doesn'’t believe me,
Did you get anything?
Maybe,
- Dr, Harris? - Yeah,
I was wondering if I could talk to you for a second,
I didn'’t make an appointment or anything,
I'’m a high school student,
I don'’t really know how any of this works,
Um, I really shouldn'’t without an appointment,
but, um,,,
Sure, come in,
Thank you,
DR, HARRIS: It must be so overwhelming
when you just are under so much pressure,
Well, that'’s an understatement,
You know, it'’s not unusual for people of your age
to have anxiety attacks,
I mean, you'’re at that point
where you'’re trying to make big decisions about your life
and come up with the answers to everything,
Trust me, Don'’t worry if you can'’t
because most of us don'’t,
No, I know that,
And indecisiveness has never really been a problem for me,
I mean, I'’ve always known what I wanted,
Maybe that'’s part of the issue with your anxiety,
Maybe you need to learn to be a little more, um, flexible,
A little more patient,
How do you mean?
You just shared with me that you lost your mom,
and that is profound,
In a person'’s healing journey,
that is a very intimate thing,
and for some people, it can take considerable time,
Your dad'’s found this new woman,
You have very complicated feelings towards your own mom
that you haven'’t processed yet,
Of course this newcomer in your environment
is gonna feel like a threat,
New is scary sometimes, but it doesn'’t have to be,
It can also be good,
I don'’t think that you'’re listening,
This woman that my dad is seeing, she'’s dangerous,
She feels dangerous because you have a loyalty to your mom,
No, that'’s not it at all,
I don'’t even know why I told you all of that other stuff,
It'’s distracting you from the point,
You told me that other stuff because you need to get it out,
I'’d listen for another hour,
but I'’ve got another patient coming,
Do you want to schedule something?
The problem is the woman that my dad is dating,
Yes, I know, and I promise everything is gonna work out,
So many people are in the same place that you are,
Dr, Harris, please listen to me,
The woman that my dad is seeing was a patient of yours,
Her name is Maddie, Madeline Sawyer,
Maddie?
Um, you do have reason to be concerned,
Because of doctor-patient confidentiality,
I really can'’t tell you any more,
just that Maddie and trouble travel in the same circles,
so you need to be careful,
- Dr, Harris, if you could-- - I'’m sorry, I can'’t,
Listen, Lily, if you ever need anything at all,
call me, all right?
- I will, - About anything,
- I will, Thank you, - All right,
Maddie,
Um, I don'’t think we have an appointment, do we?
We don'’t have an appointment today,
Maddie, Maddie!
LILY: You better be right about this,
Skipping school and taking a bus two towns over
is a lot for a hunch,
If you'’re right, and Maddie'’s been hiding stuff,
this is serious, and we need some proof,
Oh, I know she'’s been hiding stuff,
I just don'’t know how far this goes
or what Maddie'’s capable of,
Let'’s nail her,
For you, for your dad, for your mom,
Just report back to me on what you find,
and in the meantime, I'’m gonna hack into Cynthia'’s email
and see what she'’s working on,
Can you do that?
I won'’t tell if you won'’t,
I'’m about to find out,
[beeps]
[sighs]
[beeps]
- [beeps] - Gotcha,
No way,
Oh, my God,
- [line ringing] -Come on, come on,
[ringing continues]
- Patrick, -Lily,
He'’s not home, Patrick, This was a waste,
Never mind that,
You need to listen to me very carefully,
Hey, Cynthia, you didn'’t show up to work again,
This is Michael, and, uh,,,
It'’s just really isn'’t like you, Cynthia,
I'’m getting very, very worried,
Is there something I did? Is it,,,
Does it have to do with me and Maddie or,,,
Look, just please call me and let me know you'’re okay,
All right? If I if I don'’t hear from you by tonight,
I'’m gonna call the police, all right?
So just call me,
Okay, bye,
[sighs]
Hey there, Um, are you a teacher here?
No, I'’m a guidance counselor, Can I help you?
As a matter of fact, you can,
I'’m here to pick up Nicole Stone,
I was informed that her father
was already on the way to pick her up,
Some sort of family situation,
Uh, well, yes, I'’m here to do it instead,
I'’m her mother,
No, you'’re not,
Excuse me? I think I would know,
You are not Nicole Stone'’s mother,
I know my students,
Nicole Stone'’s mother has passed away,
Well, I'’m seeing her father, and--
I know who you are,
and I know what you did to Lily'’s essay,
I'’m not impressed,
You'’re not a role model, and you'’re hardly a mother,
Based on what I'’ve seen, you'’re trying so desperately
to convince those girls and yourself
that you'’re a good fit,
Well, I'’ve got news for you,
You'’re the wrong stepmother
because no woman with any type of maternal instincts
would do what you did to that girl,
Now, I can'’t control what happens outside of the school,
but as long as you'’re on this property,
you are not getting my permission to get Nicole Stone,
Fine,
[line ringing]
Michael?
- Nicole! - Maddie?
- We gotta go, - No! Maddie, where we going?
- Come on! - Hey, Maddie!
- Get in the car, - You'’re hurting me!
- Come on! - Maddie!
LILY: I guess she'’s had it rough from the start,
Well, her dad tried to leave her mom,
and her mom killed him,
- That'’s awful, - Yeah, I guess,
She was shuffled into the system after that,
That makes me almost sad for her,
That'’s what I felt too,
until I found out that what your research suggested
turned out to be true,
She has a very particular way of working out her mommy issues,
Then it'’s all true,
It'’s not just true, It'’s worse,
Lily?
Lily!
Home from school so soon?
I know all about you, Maddie,
Patrick and I, we did some digging,
and we found out some stuff about you,
some not very nice stuff,
You have no idea what you know,
You don'’t know a thing,
I know that you need to let go of my little sister right now,
Nicole! Lily!
Honey!
What'’s going on?
I just got a frantic phone call from Ms, Price,
Why don'’t you ask her? Look at this,
What?
Maddie here was married before,
except back then, she was going by Claire,
and Claire had inherited a lot of money from her husband,
who died under accidental circumstances,
and that made her inherit a lot of money,
But no, wait, there'’s more because before that,
she was known as Victoria,
and Victoria also had a husband and three nice stepkids,
but there was a problem because Victoria had arrived
under false pretenses,
She had stalked them and fabricated her past
to get them to fall for her,
When they found out about that,
they weren'’t too happy, naturally,
so what did she do?
She kidnapped them and held them hostage,
Isn'’t that right, Maddie?
Or Claire or whoever you are,
Or did I miss something?
[laughing]
Oh, come on!
Really, Michael? Are you hearing this?
I mean, I knew the girl didn'’t care much for me,
and we'’ve had our share of issues,
But assumed identities? Hostages?
I mean, come on!
All I'’ve been trying to do was fit in,
and every move, she'’s just resisted me,
You gotta admit, this is too far,
All the evidence is right there, Dad,
Yeah, I can see that,
You want to explain this to me? What is it?
It'’s fabricated, of course,
Hey, you get back here!
Now,,,
you are going to do exactly what I say,
Fine, Whatever you want,
Finally! We agree on something,
[line ringing]
911, emergency,
Um, please send help, Hurry!
I really don'’t know what the hell you'’re up to,
What do you want from us, huh?
Why are you doing this?
Who are you?
Who am I?
I'’m-- I'’m no one,
And I want what you take for granted,
A family,
A family of kindness and love,
Not hate,
Hatred is what drove my family apart,
and all I wanted was togetherness,
But people never understand,
and they always want more, and they always leave,
forcing me to become the thing that I hate the most,
And all I wanted was a fairy tale ending,
But instead, you treated me like the wicked stepmother!
Okay, just--
Just calm down, all right?
Calm down,
Give me the knife,
Dad!
Not this time!
This time I'’m gonna do this my way!
I have spent way too much time,
and I'’m gonna lose another family!
So we are gonna set up some ground rules,
and if you follow them,
then everything is gonna be just fine,
You'’re crazy! What would make you think
we would do anything with you after all you'’ve done?
Lily, I think you'’re forgetting the situation that you'’re in,
I'’m holding all the cards here and the knife,
So if I can'’t have a perfect family,
I am gonna damn well make one!
[sirens approaching]
Your loss!
Daddy! He'’s bleeding! Are you okay?
[sirens approaching]
Do you two ever sleep in?
Good morning, Dad,
How you healing?
Uh, you know, I'’ll be okay, It'’s just,,,
First day back to work and all, you know?
You'’re gonna be okay without,,,
Cynthia?
I don'’t know, It'’s gonna be a hell of an adjustment,
Hey, um,,,
I want to talk to you both before I leave,
What'’s up?
Don'’t tell me you found someone else online to date,
[chuckles, groans]
No, no, I definitely did not, and I'’m not going to,
I can promise you that,
That will never, ever happen again, okay?
I just want you both to know how proud I am of you,
how important you both are,
and how much I love you both,
And I know your mom would be so proud of you,
- I love you, Dad, - Love you too,
Now you'’re gonna be late for work,
Nope, I am exactly where I need to be, hmm?
[beeps]
[sighs]
[beeps]
- [beeps] - Gotcha,
No way,
Oh, my God,
- [line ringing] -Come on, come on,
[ringing continues]
- Patrick, -Lily,
He'’s not home, Patrick, This was a waste,
Never mind that,
You need to listen to me very carefully,
Hey, Cynthia, you didn'’t show up to work again,
This is Michael, and, uh,,,
It'’s just really isn'’t like you, Cynthia,
I'’m getting very, very worried,
Is there something I did? Is it,,,
Does it have to do with me and Maddie or,,,
Look, just please call me and let me know you'’re okay,
All right? If I if I don'’t hear from you by tonight,
I'’m gonna call the police, all right?
So just call me,
Okay, bye,
[sighs]
Hey there, Um, are you a teacher here?
No, I'’m a guidance counselor, Can I help you?
As a matter of fact, you can,
I'’m here to pick up Nicole Stone,
I was informed that her father
was already on the way to pick her up,
Some sort of family situation,
Uh, well, yes, I'’m here to do it instead,
I'’m her mother,
No, you'’re not,
Excuse me? I think I would know,
You are not Nicole Stone'’s mother,
I know my students,
Nicole Stone'’s mother has passed away,
Well, I'’m seeing her father, and--
I know who you are,
and I know what you did to Lily'’s essay,
I'’m not impressed,
You'’re not a role model, and you'’re hardly a mother,
Based on what I'’ve seen, you'’re trying so desperately
to convince those girls and yourself
that you'’re a good fit,
Well, I'’ve got news for you,
You'’re the wrong stepmother
because no woman with any type of maternal instincts
would do what you did to that girl,
Now, I can'’t control what happens outside of the school,
but as long as you'’re on this property,
you are not getting my permission to get Nicole Stone,
Fine,
[line ringing]
Michael?
- Nicole! - Maddie?
- We gotta go, - No! Maddie, where we going?
- Come on! - Hey, Maddie!
- Get in the car, - You'’re hurting me!
- Come on! - Maddie!
LILY: I guess she'’s had it rough from the start,
Well, her dad tried to leave her mom,
and her mom killed him,
- That'’s awful, - Yeah, I guess,
She was shuffled into the system after that,
That makes me almost sad for her,
That'’s what I felt too,
until I found out that what your research suggested
turned out to be true,
She has a very particular way of working out her mommy issues,
Then it'’s all true,
It'’s not just true, It'’s worse,
Lily?
Lily!
Home from school so soon?
I know all about you, Maddie,
Patrick and I, we did some digging,
and we found out some stuff about you,
some not very nice stuff,
You have no idea what you know,
You don'’t know a thing,
I know that you need to let go of my little sister right now,
Nicole! Lily!
Honey!
What'’s going on?
I just got a frantic phone call from Ms, Price,
Why don'’t you ask her? Look at this,
What?
Maddie here was married before,
except back then, she was going by Claire,
and Claire had inherited a lot of money from her husband,
who died under accidental circumstances,
and that made her inherit a lot of money,
But no, wait, there'’s more because before that,
she was known as Victoria,
and Victoria also had a husband and three nice stepkids,
but there was a problem because Victoria had arrived
under false pretenses,
She had stalked them and fabricated her past
to get them to fall for her,
When they found out about that,
they weren'’t too happy, naturally,
so what did she do?
She kidnapped them and held them hostage,
Isn'’t that right, Maddie?
Or Claire or whoever you are,
Or did I miss something?
[laughing]
Oh, come on!
Really, Michael? Are you hearing this?
I mean, I knew the girl didn'’t care much for me,
and we'’ve had our share of issues,
But assumed identities? Hostages?
I mean, come on!
All I'’ve been trying to do was fit in,
and every move, she'’s just resisted me,
You gotta admit, this is too far,
All the evidence is right there, Dad,
Yeah, I can see that,
You want to explain this to me? What is it?
It'’s fabricated, of course,
Hey, you get back here!
Now,,,
you are going to do exactly what I say,
Fine, Whatever you want,
Finally! We agree on something,
[line ringing]
911, emergency,
Um, please send help, Hurry!
I really don'’t know what the hell you'’re up to,
What do you want from us, huh?
Why are you doing this?
Who are you?
Who am I?
I'’m-- I'’m no one,
And I want what you take for granted,
A family,
A family of kindness and love,
Not hate,
Hatred is what drove my family apart,
and all I wanted was togetherness,
But people never understand,
and they always want more, and they always leave,
forcing me to become the thing that I hate the most,
And all I wanted was a fairy tale ending,
But instead, you treated me like the wicked stepmother!
Okay, just--
Just calm down, all right?
Calm down,
Give me the knife,
Dad!
Not this time!
This time I'’m gonna do this my way!
I have spent way too much time,
and I'’m gonna lose another family!
So we are gonna set up some ground rules,
and if you follow them,
then everything is gonna be just fine,
You'’re crazy! What would make you think
we would do anything with you after all you'’ve done?
Lily, I think you'’re forgetting the situation that you'’re in,
I'’m holding all the cards here and the knife,
So if I can'’t have a perfect family,
I am gonna damn well make one!
[sirens approaching]
Your loss!
Daddy! He'’s bleeding! Are you okay?
[sirens approaching]
Do you two ever sleep in?
Good morning, Dad,
How you healing?
Uh, you know, I'’ll be okay, It'’s just,,,
First day back to work and all, you know?
You'’re gonna be okay without,,,
Cynthia?
I don'’t know, It'’s gonna be a hell of an adjustment,
Hey, um,,,
I want to talk to you both before I leave,
What'’s up?
Don'’t tell me you found someone else online to date,
[chuckles, groans]
No, no, I definitely did not, and I'’m not going to,
I can promise you that,
That will never, ever happen again, okay?
I just want you both to know how proud I am of you,
how important you both are,
and how much I love you both,
And I know your mom would be so proud of you,
- I love you, Dad, - Love you too,

Nope, I am exactly where I need to be, hmm?
