Previously on Monarch...
-Meet Mackenzie Gates from Open Horizons. -Hi.
You took a back seat to your mother for years.
The spotlight doesn't find everyone.
LUKE: Skyfair Media Group
have made an offer to acquire
a majority stake in Monarch.
I vote no.
Without my yes vote, this merger dies.
So I want a tour.
She went for it.
Everything you asked for and then some.
You ready for your dreams to come true?
To what Monarch was and to what Skyfair can be.
NICKY: Nothing says "I love you" more
than sleeping with the brother-in-law.
I might have a solution that-that suits all of us.
KAYLA: What if we fast-track this whole thing and ask Luke
-to be our donor? -Luke? My brother?
NICKY: I am so sorry that I pushed you away
and I'm so grateful to have you in my life.
Nicky, I'm not who you think I am.
Clive was the blackmailer, wasn't he?
Sure sounded like it.
NICKY: What about the body?
ALBIE: Trust me,
I ain't forgetting.
I think you killed Clive.
So I'm gonna give you 24 hours to turn yourself in.
This all ends tomorrow.

-What the hell's that? -NICKY: Daddy?
Just hold on a minute, folks.
There must be some kind of misunderstanding.
What the hell are you doing here, Tripp?
-We had a deal. -Sorry, friend.
I just can't take the word of a man with a passport and a jet.

Albie Roman, you are under arrest
for the murder of Clive Grayson.
♪ What's mine coming to me... ♪
Well, go on. Tell him what you told me last night.
What?
After you killed Clive that night,
I moved his body, and buried him in the state park.
Why would you do that?
To make sure your father went down for Clive's murder.
LUKE: I knew you were up to something.
This doesn't make any sense.
NICKY: Oh, it will.
Tell him why.
When I was a kid, three years old,
my father was killed by a drunk driver.
The man arrested for his death was Albie Roman.
LUKE: And you came here to get even,
-you son of a bitch. -Whoa, whoa, whoa.
Let's hear him out.
Then you can have at him.
I assume Nicky told you
it was Tripp behind the wheel that night and not me.
Yeah. Yeah, she did.
GIGI: So, you hid
Clive's body months ago.
You could've called the cops at any time.
Right. Or planted it here to get a conviction.
Why didn't you?
Because I fell in love.
And when I did, I knew I couldn't hurt Nicky like that.
I knew I couldn't hurt any of y'all like that.
My whole life,
I wanted the man who took everything from me
to feel the pain that I felt.
I just had the wrong man.
I'm sorry.
ALBIE: I understand
why you did it.
But there are things in life that can't be forgiven.
And betraying my trust, breaking my daughter's heart,
top of the list.
So you need to gather your personals and leave.
If you ever step foot on the Brambles again,
I promise, I'll dig a hole for you.
LUKE: Hey, Jamie.
One more thing.

Albie.
Tripp.
I hope you're not here to back out on our deal.
No.
No, I'm gonna turn myself in tonight, like we agreed.
But there's something I need to know first.
Why?
After everything we've been through,
this can't just be about politics.
You did a damn nice thing for me 40 years ago.
And you held it over my head every day since.
Has to end.
♪ ♪
All right, Daddy, there must be something that we can do.
You can't just... let Tripp win like this.
I wish there was, but he's got me in a bind
-and he knows it. -Well, then, leave.
GIGI: Take the jet and find a white sandy beach somewhere
in a country without extradition.
If I run, he'll come after all of you,
and I won't let that happen.
But there's one thing you can do for me.
I want us to take the stage one last time
and do what we do best.
Like a farewell concert?
That's exactly what I mean.
You think you can get a venue for tonight?
-How big? -Big as you can find.
And you think that we can fill it on such short notice?
Albie Roman's final performance?
You post it on social,
we'll have a line from here to El Paso.
Good.
And no more sad looks.
My job is to protect this family.
And yours
is to stick together, no matter what happens.
Can you do that for me?
Yeah.
Yes, sir.
Good.
(sighs)
Eat up. I'll see y'all later.
Doesn't make any sense.
It's not like Daddy to give up.
He's not giving up.
You heard him. He's protecting us.
And now, we have to stick together.
Just like Daddy said.
As a family, no matter what.
Agreed?
Yeah.
(phone buzzing)
Hey, bae, what's going on?
-Oh. Are you okay? -Hi.
-Where is the doctor? -Geeg, I'm fine,
but there's something we need to talk about.
Yeah, your five months pregnant and going into labor.
I'm not great at math, but I know this ain't right.
Yeah, so, um...
Gigi, how are you?
I'm worried, to be honest.
Understandable, but no need.
Kayla came in for her checkup, her water broke,
but she's only a few centimeters,
so you made it in plenty of time.
But it's too soon.
I'm sorry?
We only did IVF five months ago.
She can't be having this baby yet.
You got to make these contractions stop.
Your wife is seven months pregnant.
But the baby is healthy and viable,
and that's all that matters right now.
Um, can we have a moment, please?
Of course.
(exhales)
Look, before you say anything...
I'm not talking.
I'm listening, because I want to hear it from you,
and I want all of it, now.
Okay.
-(car door closes) -Geeg.
So, you know how you said you're gonna miss me when I go on tour?
Wade has pulled out-- surprise, surprise--
and I was wondering if you wanted to open for me.
Well, isn't that great? What do you think?
Geeg.
I know, Nicky.
-What? -Everything.
Kayla went into labor and told me.
About, um,
her affair with Luke.
And the pregnancy.
And your little plot
to cover it all up.
Gigi, I'm so sorry.
You're my big sister.
You're supposed to protect me.
-I did, I swear. -That wasn't for me.
That was protecting the family name and the sacred Roman image,
just like Mama.
But at least when Mama shivved you,
she didn't lie.
She didn't smile
and pretend to be your very best friend.
I'm not lying and I'm not pretending.
You are my best friend.
You'll always be my best friend.
Geeg, I-I never wanted you to get hurt.
What Daddy said,
some things you can't forgive.
We're done.
As friends, as sisters, as family.
Get the hell off my porch, Nicky.
And don't ever come back.

I have to say, when it comes to Roman palace intrigue,
I thought I had heard it all.
But what your wife and brother tried to pull off,
that really takes the gluten-free cake.
Did they actually think they'd get away with it?
I think they just crossed their fingers and hoped for the best.
Well, they should've crossed their legs.
This whole thing wouldn't have happened.
Sorry, I tend to hide behind humor
-at times of emotional distress. -Mm.
I tend to hide behind tequila.
You know what the worst part of all this is?
Might be hard to narrow down, but go on.
Nicky.
She pretends to be my best friend and champion
and all the while she's choreographing a cover-up
like she's Alvin Ailey.
And now she gets to ride off into the sunset
on her very own stadium tour.
Now you tell me how that's fair.
It's not, honey bear.
But the merger is a done deal.
Not even Dottie Roman herself could change that.
Then why change it,
when I can burn it all to the ground?
Thanks, Earl.
No. No, no, no, no. No. That's not what I meant.
Why is it everybody always takes my advice the wrong way?
(knocking on door)
-Hello. -SKYLER: Hello.
Usually, when a Roman walks through my door,
they're here to make big, dramatic demands.
Actually, I'm here for you.
To keep you from making a huge mistake.
I know you're investing millions of dollars into Monarch.
Oh, hundreds of millions.
Well, I think you should know exactly what you're getting.
-And what is that? -A world of hurt.
The Romans seem to destroy everything they touch.
-Go on. -Well, Nicky, for instance,
daughter of legendary Dottie Roman,
heir apparent to the Queen of Country throne,
until the fans find out that she helped kill my mother.
The law calls it assisted suicide, but still,
the press, social media?
It'll be a feeding frenzy.
(scoffs)
Why in the world would you go public with that kind of story?
Oh, pack a lunch and pitch a tent,
'cause I'm just getting started.
Before I turn myself in tonight, I wanted to...
talk to the two of you about what happened that night
that your daddy died.
You mean the night that you killed him?
Dad tried to kill Mom, Tate.
Tried to kill me, too.
He left me no choice.
Why should I believe you?
'Cause I've never lied to you.
And I ain't about to start now.
I truly wish things would've gone different that night,
but that doesn't make me any less sorry,
because it's the two of you that got hurt the most.
You have no idea how I feel.
Grampa's just trying to tell us the truth.
And he's going to prison for it.
That's all right, Ace, she's right.
You know, the world believes
that my job is to sing and play guitar,
but my real job is to protect this family.
And the thing I'll be thinking on the most while I'm away
is how I'm gonna make this up to you two.
But in the meantime...
take care of each other.
And don't forget,
it's family first.
Now and forever.
Now, I know that Gigi's upset.
But I can assure you that the Romans do not like
to air their dirty laundry in public.
That may be, but I can't go forward
on your assurances alone, so I'm gonna have to...
hit pause on the tour.
-For how long? -Six months.
Six months? Well, that's not "pause," I'd say that's "stop."
Skyfair is a multinational company
with a variety of businesses,
and if an artist gets "canceled,"
things can snowball very quickly.
I'm very sorry, Nicky, but...
it's better this way.
For who? For the shareholders or... some hedge fund?
'Cause it's certainly not better for me.
Well, I don't want to have to remind you
that it was my vote that made the merger happen
in the first place.
Is that a threat?
You can take it how you want, but no tour, no merger.
You know, nine times out of ten,
I am sitting across the negotiating table
from some old white man who underestimates me from the jump.
So if you think that you're calling my bluff,
I assure you, I'm not bluffing.
The tour's off.
Then so is the merger.
I'll see myself out.

JAMIE: Sorry, I didn't think anybody would be here.
I can come back.
No, no, I was, I was just leaving.
Nicky.
Look, I know you can't forgive me,
nor would I expect you to, but I just want you to know
that I meant everything I said.
Which part?
The truth or the lies?
I never lied about how I feel about you.
And I'm sorry about your tour.
Even the greatest artists go through hard times.
Jamie, stop. Come on.
Your entire reason for being here was a lie, so...
I deserve that. I do.

ACE: I just can't believe he's going to prison.

Or was. I don't even know anymore.
It was self-defense, Ace. Your dad went all psycho.
Yeah, but he's still my dad.
And now that my grandpa's going away, it's just...
it feels like I'm losing everyone who's close to me.
Well, you're not gonna lose me.
What's going on here?
Nothing.
Ace is upset. We're friends, Mom.
Well, ever since you became friends,
my daughter has stopped listening to me.
Come on, let's go.
-We're leaving. -No, Ace cares about me.
And not just because I can sing.
So stop trying to control me.

for the three of you to find a way to be a family,
because pretty soon,
you're all you're gonna have left.
I know being inside ain't gonna be no picnic,
but being out here and facing the world alone,

and please, please forgive each other
before his farewell concert?

You and me, equal billing.
Taking the world by storm,
like we used to dream of as kids.
Well, come on, say something.
For real?
Gigi, Mama was wrong.
There can be two queens.
So what do you say?
So how about making both our dreams come true?

Deal.
I am so proud of you, Gigi.
But one last word of advice.
I know I told you about all the mistakes I made,
but there's one I didn't tell you about.
I didn't just take a back seat to my sister.
-I did something worse. -What's that?
I trusted her.

-You called? -Yeah. With Luke leaving,
I'll be running Monarch.
I could use a man that knows the music business.
That a job offer?
We'll see.
-(quiet chatter) -(engine starts)
-Bye. -Bye.
Things are changing, Nellie.
Yeah, all these goodbyes make me so thirsty.
-Sip it slowly. It burns. -Mm.
I'll meet you girls in San Antonio.

We came here for one reason.
To punish the Romans for everything they've done
to both of us.
We had a plan.
Yeah, well, plans change.
I'm done, Catt.
Well, not my plans.
So, Jamie, if you're wondering,
you're done when I say you're done.
Hey, thank you for everything.
Don't thank me yet.
Party's just getting started, sister.
NICKY: Mm-hmm.
