Babe, calm down.
We were lucky to get this tour in the first place, D.
You know Luxe Center has a waitlist a mile long
the least we could be is on time.
It's out of our price range.
[instrumental music]
Do you not wanna do this?
[phone vibrating]
-It's Paul. -[Imani sighs]
One sec, babe.
Hey, everything good?
Check my office. There should be a folder on my desk.
No, I still need to file the disposition...
Hey, okay, thanks. Hey, Paul.
Okay, look, so, D and I have a really important appointment
in the next couple of minutes.
So do you think you could talk business
a little later?
Pretty please.
[chuckles] Thank you. Okay, bye.
You know I was gonna tell him that next, right?
D... [sighs]
If this is something you don't wanna do
I need you to tell me.
I know this is a lot,
like, getting engaged
and then moving in together, it's...
It's not that. Okay?
Just a stress headache from work.
And I'm focused now.
This is important to me too.
-Okay? -Okay.
[clears throat]
-Coming inside? -Um, yes.
We have a scheduled tour with Nicolette.
Mr. And Mrs. Ashwood. Nicolette.
I'm the General Manager of Luxe Center Condos.
Thank you so much for squeezing us in
at such a short notice.
Oh, you called at just the right time.
And congratulations on your engagement!
-Thank you. -Thank you.
-Follow me. -Okay.
[grim music]
So, you told me over the phone
that you two are officially ready to move in together.
Yes, I've been staying with my sister
and Deon's lease is up in a couple of months.
We've been together for a year now
with the wedding coming up soon,
we think now's the next step. [chuckles]
Luxe Center would be perfect.
Well, it's good to know our reputation precedes us.
What do you two do?
I'm a Criminal Defense Attorney.
My job is not nearly as glamorous.
I'm just a Pastry Chef.
Oh, that's definitely my kind of glamorous.
And the kitchen in this unit
will be a dream come true for you.
-[phone vibrates] -And here we are!
[door opens]
[Nicolette] Turnkey, move in ready.
Private balcony with breathtaking views.
In here we have your pantry and a secondary bedroom
that would make a great home office.
Sorry.
And right this way is the kitchen.
Mrs. Ashwood, you're gonna love this.
Oh, my God.
Great natural light with floor to ceiling...
Hey, I can't really talk. What's up?
-Big island, perfect for prep. -Yes.
Marble countertops. Stainless steel appliances.
And right this way is your living space.
It's big, beautiful, airy, I mean...
I think you two are gonna love it here at Luxe Center.
We have wonderful on-site amenities,
a state-of the art fitness center,
pool, rooftop terrace, and a doorman.
Oh, yeah. We met him earlier.
He's very... pleasant.
[chuckles] Don't mind Teddy.
He just takes his job really seriously.
[Nicolette] He's really nice once you get to know him.
[grim music]
Everything okay?
Yeah, it's just...
[Nicolette] Take a look at this wine fridge.
[door creaking]
[switch clicks]
I mean, it doesn't get much better than this.
[Imani] You're right.
Where you been?
I was just checking out the bedrooms.
They're huge.
So? What do you guys think?
It's nice, but the listing price is $449,000.
It's a little steep.
Well, let me add that your monthly fees
cover your utilities.
And considering the prime location and amenities,
it is a fantastic value.
But we're willing to negotiate
because I wanna make this dream condo your reality.
A condo here normally has a waitlist, but for some reason
we were able to easily get a next-day tour.
Deon.
Why don't I give you two a moment to discuss in private.
Thanks.
I don't know what the problem is.
This place is perfect.
I know. But something's off.
Nicolette seems persistent on selling this unit.
And what's with the doorman, huh?
Deon, it sounds like you're making a bunch of excuses.
Is it the condo or is it that phone call you took earlier?
[sighs] I was just handling some business, Imani, that's all.
Right.
Now, I'm trying to make the right decision.
And as much as I like this place,
part of me thinks we should keep looking.
Maybe.
You're doing that lawyering-thing, again.
Searching for something that's not even there.
[soft music]
I really want this place.
Please.
[Deon chuckles softly]
So, have you made a decision?
We'd like to put in an offer.
-[Imani chuckles] -I'm so glad!
[Nicolette] I will email you the application
so I can get your employment and financial status information.
Okay.
[Nicolette] Of course we have to run your credit.
But Ms. Ashwood mentioned
you are already pre-approved for a loan.
Yes.
Then this should be a fairly smooth process.
[chuckling]
Let me be the first to welcome you
to Luxe Center Condos.
Thank you.
Thank you so much.
Thank you. Thank you.
[both chuckle]
Come on, take it in, right?
-It'll be cool. -It's nice.
-It's nice. -Right?
-Sam was right. -You're right.
Okay, thank you.
[both laugh]
-Hey, how are you? -Great seeing you again.
[instrumental music]
Yes, right here.
Thank you. Thank you.
[Deon] Where's my office stuff?
-[Imani] In the office. -[Deon chuckles]
-Oh. This side. -[Deon chuckles]
Yeah, that's good.
-Good job. -Not too bad.
[Imani] You did all right. [Deon] Right.
[Imani and Deon laugh]
[door creaking]
[door shuts]
-Hey, sis. -Hey.
Oh, wow. You got it looking good in here.
Yeah, Deon and I knocked it out earlier.
Well, since I couldn't help you move,
I figured the least I could do was feed you.
Oh, Jada, I know you had to work.
You didn't have to, but I'm so glad you did.
[both chuckle]
Oh, I found a bridal shop a couple of blocks away
we should check out.
-When are you free? -Um, I don't know.
I'll probably pick up a few extra shifts at work.
[plates clattering]
I'm not gonna sit here and act fake.
I'm not asking you to be fake, okay?
I just want your support. I need you to trust me.
I just don't want you to do anything
you're gonna regret, sis.
[inhales deeply]
[sighs] I know, I know.
-That's why I love you so much. -Mm-hmm.
[both chuckle]
All right, I'm gonna check on D, see if he's done with the truck.
You mind finishing up here for me?
-Yeah, I got you. -All right, thanks, babe.
[indistinct chatter]
[Tamera] Uh-huh. [Deon] So...
-Mrs. Ashwood. -[Tamera] Yes.
Thank you, Teddy.
-Hey, babe. -Hey.
Uh... [chuckles]
This is my ex-wife, Tamera.
Woody, you didn't tell me your fiancée was so beautiful.
I'm sorry, Woody?
Oh, that's just my nickname for him because...
because never mind.
[both chuckle]
Is this the ring? Sorry.
Oh, very cute.
Yeah, you still got great taste, I see.
[instrumental music]
So, Tamera. What are you doing at Luxe Center?
Oh, funny thing,
I was actually just visiting a client that lives here.
You're finished with your law professorship in Rome?
Yeah. Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah.
I, uh, got a job with Benton and Jones Law Group, so...
All right.
Well, what are you guys doing right now?
Do you wanna grab some drinks?
Um, actually we're-we're moving, so...
Of course, moving-moving, yes. Yes, okay.
Well, uh, I will let you guys get back to it.
-All right. -Well, good seeing you, Woody.
-Yeah. You too. -Yeah.
[music continues]
[door opens]
Babe.
-Babe. -I'm fine.
Is this about Tamera?
Did you know she was back in town?
How would I have known?
I don't know. Don't you guys...
Don't you guys talk lately or something?
We haven't spoken in a long time.
It's just a coincidence.
That's a pretty big ass coincidence, don't you think,
Woody?
After the divorce, it took a minute
for us to even be cordial with each other.
She resented that I cut our honeymoon short
to work on the biggest case of my career.
Our relationship never recovered and after a while, she ended it.
Occasionally, we'll text,
or check-in with each other on social media,
but that's it.
[soft music]
Why did she still have your last name?
She probably thought it was too much trouble
[Deon] to change it back.
-All right. -Look.
I don't know and I don't care.
You'll be Mrs. Ashwood soon enough.

[rock music]
[sighs]
[knocking on door]
[door opens]
Hi. Hi, I'm Imani.
My fiancé and I moved in next door.
Right. Look, I don't mean to be difficult, but...
We're trying to sleep and your music's just a little bit loud.
Is there any way you could turn it down?
Please?
The last owner didn't mind.
Besides, I've, uh, lived here longer. Deal with it.
Please, if you...
-[door shuts] -Asshole.
[rock music]
[instrumental music]
[Imani] You should have seen her, sis.
She's just all over Woody.
You know, he should have checked her.
-He should have. -Imani?
Speak of the devil.
[grim music]
-Good to see you again, Imani. -Yeah.
Hi. I'm Tamera. Deon's ex-wife.
[Jada] Jada. Imani's sister.
Oh, yeah. I see the family resemblance.
[Tamera] Nice.
Um, do you think that we could talk just for a second?
-In private? -Yeah.
Okay, I'll be over there if you need me.
Excuse me.
[music continues]
I think we got off on the wrong foot.
Right.
I know, it was probably really strange bumping into me,
and I just wanna assure you that Woody...
I mean, Deon, I mean, Deon,
did not know I was gonna be there.
Okay? I love him as a friend.
And his friendship means the world to me.
And I just wanna be your friend too.
[music continues]
-Sure. -Ah, great.
Great, great.
Oh, I have some errands to run but...
we should do this again sometime. Okay.
I'll get back to you on that one.
-Okay. -Okay, all right. That's fair.
-Good day, all right. -Okay.
Okay. I'll see you. You better have fun.
-All right. -Bye.
[sighs]
You know what? I'm gonna call some of my connects
down at the precinct, there's gotta be something we could use
to prove his innocence.
Doubt it.
Look, if he testifies, the DA will rip him to shreds.
If he doesn't testify, we have nothing.
We can't win this.
I say we offer him a plea deal. [sighs]
No. We're not doing that again.
Putting this to bed quickly will make the firm look good.
We can't have any negative press on this. It's too high-profile.
And we can't have a repeat of the Calvin case.
We won't address some of the evidence
because it's not strong enough.
Plus, a few years in jail is better than life,
which is what Bellamy will get
if we take it to court and lose.
[phone beeps]
[receptionist] Sorry to interrupt
but, Mr. Ashwood, your wife is waiting for you
in your office.
Let's get those papers drawn up and sent over to the DA.
We've wasted enough time on this case.
Hey, babe.
[instrumental music]
[both laughing]
This is a surprise.
Well, I am the queen of surprises, so...
[both laughing]
What are you doing here?
I actually am staying nearby so...
I brought you lunch.
Well, aren't you the considerate one?
-Shut up. -[Deon chuckles]
I apologized to Imani.
I don't want our friendship to make her uncomfortable.
Imani has never been the jealous type.
So, how did you two meet?
Sat next to each other on the train.
[Tamera chuckles]
But we didn't start dating until months later.
Why?
Ever since her parents died,
she's been in and out of foster care, so...
she's guarded with her heart.
Hm.
[chuckles] What?
Why aren't you in a relationship?
Oh...
I just don't think I'm gonna find something
like what we had again. So...
[soft tense music]
I am so sorry.
-I shouldn't have said that. -[sighs]
[Tamera sighs]
I shouldn't have said that.
[inhales] Can you just, uh...
-Yeah. -Yeah.
[phone vibrating]
[sighs] You know there's no hard feelings
about what happened between us, right?
I know.
Lucky you, you are stuck with me.
-You're welcome here. -[chuckles]
[instrumental music]
I'm happy for you.
By the way, I heard that Imani was a pastry chef.
Do you have a business card for her?
I may have some referrals.
Yeah. She'll really appreciate that.
-Yeah. -Thank you.
[music continues]
Well, I will, uh, talk to you later.
Okay.
[door opens]
-Hey. -Hey.
Sorry I'm late. Got caught up at work.
You know, it would've been nice
to get a call-back from my fiancé.
[sighs] I'm sorry. We're neck-deep in that Bellamy case.
-This looks delicious. -[chuckles]
You thinking you're gonna have to take this one to court?
Hope not. [sighs]
I already know how it's gonna play out.
What do you mean?
Guy denies murdering his best friend,
but all the evidence suggests he did.
We don't stand a chance at trial,
so probably gonna offer him a plea deal.
But doesn't a plea deal still mean
you could send a potentially innocent man to jail?
Sometimes, you have to take what you can get.
And a high win percentage, brings even more business.
[Deon] Besides, weren't you just complaining
about how busy I was?
Me? I was dong that?
-I think that was you. -You sure? What was that?
[both chuckle]
[knocking on door]
-You expecting somebody? -No.
-[door opens] -Hi.
I was, I was just getting some last-minute signatures
from my client and I saw you come in here.
I didn't realize you lived down the hall, Deon.
-[both chuckle] -What do you want, Tamera?
Oh, uh, well, I was...
I was hoping you wouldn't mind
reviewing some of this paperwork before I file it.
You were the more detail-oriented attorney
-between us. Yes, it's true. -Uh-huh. Now you can admit.
[both chuckle]
All right, do-do you wanna stay for dinner?
-Imani made plenty of food. -Oh, I would love to.
That's cool with you, right, babe?
[soft tense music]
-Of course. -Thank you.
Well...
Oh. Oh, wow.
This is nice. Oh, you're doing well.
[Deon chuckles]
I can't wait to find my own spot.
I've been staying with a friend since I moved back.
Wait. How did you get a place here?
They never have any vacancies.
Well, some things are just meant to be.
Mera, we can sit in the office and look over those papers.
Okay.
[music continues]
-No! -Never looked better.
-What're you doing with this? -[laughs]
Oh, my God.
Oh, you were downing that burger.
[laughs] You remember.
-Hey. -Imani, oh, okay.
-All right, look at this. Ready? -Oh, no!
Wait. Okay.
So we were on vacation, right?
-Where? I don't know. -I don't know.
Okay, we were on vacation somewhere.
And we wanted a picture.
Four hours later. And the man made us this.
[both laughing]
-We waited for this. -Oh! It was so bad.
[both laughs]
Um, what kind of case do you work on, Tamera?
Wills, mostly. Life insurance.
Uh, yeah, just stuff you wouldn't really...
know about or understand, really.
Well, most people don't really get life insurance, right?
Uh, babe, Mera knows some people
who are looking for a pastry chef.
-Yes, I do. -That's fine.
I can find my own clients. Thank you.
[phone vibrates]
Oh, uh, can I just, um, use your bathroom?
-Oh, yeah. Yeah. -Yeah?
Just right by the kitchen.
Okay, all right.
Give me one second.
Just seems like she's making excuses just to be around you.
Our neighbor is her client.
Oh, laughing at pictures, talking about vacations.
-Yeah, sounds like working. -You're jealous?
-I'm not-- -Hey.
Guys, sorry. I have to go.
My roommate got locked out.
She's calling me, I need to go rescue her.
We'll look at the documents another time.
-Can we? Yeah, thank you. -Let me walk you out.
All right, cool.
[instrumental music]
Thank you.
Bye.
What the...
[door creaks]
Your little friend threw away my bridal magazines.
What? She wasn't even in the kitchen.
-And why would she do that? -I don't know.
Maybe the same reason why she's always around.
Look, I don't trust her, D. And neither should you.
Okay, whether you like it or not,
I did have a life before I met you.
Tamera would never disrespect our relationship.
And how do you know?
Because I've known her longer than you have.
Oh, wow.
Sounds like you're preserving your relationship with her
more than you are with me.
[chuckles]
-Where are you going? -I got a headache.
I'm tired, and I'm done arguing.
Night.
[pensive music]
[sighs]
[Deon] I'm sorry, babe.
I don't want us to go to bed mad.
You know I love you.
[soft music]
I know. It's just...
I feel left out of that part of your life.
That part of my life is over.
I don't want it.
You are my present
and my future.
That's all that matters to me.
[Deon] I promise, you have nothing to worry about, okay?
[Imani] Okay.
You still love me?
[music continues]

A stunning unit has become available
at our prestigious condominium.
But it won't last long.
So if you're interested, give me a call back.
Thank you.

-[exhales] -What's this?
Oh, that's the playlist I'm putting together
for our first dance. What do you think?
Speaking of which...
I need you to sign these for our marriage license, please.
And there's still a couple of other things you need to do.
We still got your tux rental,
you got to put the deposit on the venue,
and you haven't confirmed that guest list I emailed you.
I will take care of it. I promise.
Promise. Okay.
So, since you're working over the weekend,
when do you wanna celebrate your birthday?
You know, I'm low-key. I don't care about all of that.
I know, but you mean a lot to me and I wanna celebrate you.
We could do something tonight after work.
I can make a reservation at Villa Pasta.
Hm. I don't know if I'll feel up to going out after work tonight.
Why don't you just pick up the food,
bake a cake, and we can have dinner here?
Just the two of us.
You're the birthday boy.
I'll call you when I know what time I'll be home.
Okay.
[Deon] Love you.
Oh, wait, your coffee.
Don't forget your coffee.
Oh, you do not wanna let me leave.
[grim music]
Nicolette, what happened?
Your neighbor Arthur, he's dead.
Do they know what happened?
They think it could've been a heart attack.
Did you two have a chance to meet him?
No. My wife, my ex-wife was his lawyer.
Arthur was the last of the Winters family. Tragedy.
[clears throat] I apologize as I know the news is unsettling
since you guys just moved in.
I have to handle some business, so you two have a nice day.
-Oh... -Babe, are you gonna be okay?
I can stay home and work if I need to.
No, no, don't do that. Please.
You're busy and besides,
I-I have some clients I gotta catch up with.
Okay.
[elevator door opens]
[elevator door shuts]
-There... -Okay.
Nicolette. Can I talk to you for a sec?
Hm.
[sighs]
It's about Arthur.
You said they think it could've been a heart attack.
You disagree?
Nicolette, if there's something going on here,
-I have a right to know. -You're right.
I don't think it was a heart attack.
He was too young.
Some things just aren't adding up.
Are me and Deon in any kind of danger?
Arthur was the son of the wealthy bachelor
who owned this building.
[Nicolette] When that guy died,
Arthur and his sister, Madeline,
inherited the building and the money.
So, what does that have to do about his death?
Madeline died just a couple of weeks ago in the condo
-you and Mr. Ashwood moved into. -Why didn't you tell us?
I didn't think you'd want it if you knew.
Yeah, you're damn right we wouldn't.
That's why I cut you guys such a great deal.
[Nicolette] And Madeline's death was deemed an accident
but with Arthur dying soon after...
I'm worried.
Well, how can someone get away with that
without being seen?
The owner who designed this place
installed hidden passageways
for his mistresses to escape through.
Did you see Tamera leave last night?
'Cause she was visiting Arthur
so she might have been the last to have seen him.
I don't remember. But Teddy was on duty last night.
-[Nicolette] Maybe ask him. -Okay. Thanks.
[pensive music]
Hey, Teddy, can I ask you something?
Nicolette told me about the history about this place
and what she thinks happened to Madeline and Arthur.
Okay.
Well, she also told me
that your were on duty last night
and suggested I ask you.
Did you happen to see Tamera leave at all?
No.
Now if you'll excuse me,
I need to get back to work.
Right, thanks.
[music continues]
If you can send that today, that'd be great.
[door shuts]
[instrumental music]
[rustling]
[chuckles softly]

[music continues]
[sighs]
[phone vibrates]
-You are welcome. -[chuckles]
Surprised you remember my favorite cologne.
You really don't forget the important things.
[Deon] Mera, thank you.
But I don't want Imani to get the wrong idea.
Oh. I'm sorry, I wasn't trying to overstep any boundaries.
It's okay. I appreciate the gesture.
-It means a lot to me. -Uh, what are you doing later?
[Deon] Probably headed home from work around 7:00.
-Why? -Oh, just asking.
I got to go, okay? Duty calls, but I will, um...
[Tamera] I'll talk to you later.
Okay. [chuckles softy]
[instrumental music]
Is someone moving in or out?
Anybody in here?
[grim music]
[Teddy] You're not supposed to be here.
Sorry, I was just wondering if...
Imani, hey.
Maika's Bakery.
I always thought pastry chefs would make their own desserts.
-Hmm. -And I would have if I had time.
Not that it's any of your business.
What're you doing here, again, Tamera?
I am Arthur's attorney, remember?
And since he has no other living relatives,
I had to come settle his affairs and assets.
Oh, imagine my luck
when I mentioned to Nicolette about needing a place to stay
and she didn't wanna be bothered with the waiting lists
and the building tours and all that. So...
-You're moving in here. -She offered me the place, yeah.
You know, Imani...
some things...
are just meant to be.
-[Imani sighs] -Isn't that what you said?
[tense music]
Do you need anything else, Tamera?
No. Thank you so much , Teddy.
[Tamera] I couldn't have done it without you.
Hm.
[Deon] Babe, how the hell was I supposed to know?
What do you mean how?
Aren't you two best friends or something?
You talk about everything else and she, what,
just forgot to tell you about this?
[Deon] Imani, I am at work.
I don't have time to deal with this right now.
Okay, so you tell me
when's a good time to discuss this?
Should I make an appointment with your receptionist?
What exactly do you want me to do?
Tell her she can't live beside us
because my fiancée is jealous?
[chuckles] Oh, sorry, what? Jealous?
Your ex-wife wants you back and I'm jealous?
[Deon] She does not.
You find a reason to be mad when I talk to Tamera,
you find a reason to be mad when I don't.
So it doesn't actually matter what I do,
you're gonna catch an attitude regardless.
We'll talk about this later.
[Imani] Deon, don't...
[instrumental music]
I thought you said you were off at 7:00.
I did. I'm just checking some emails.
You waiting for your date?
Something like that, yeah.
Do you trust me?
[music continues]
Yeah.
Good.
I have this crazy idea I think you might like.
But I don't want you to be mad.
Okay.
Okay?
[Deon laughs] There's something! Is it...
Makes no sense to me, I don't know. It's something crazy.
You guys are, are just crazy. Oh, okay.
-Now what are we doing? -Keep going.
I'm going, I'm going.
Go straight, straight, straight.
[Deon] Straight. Okay. [Tamera] Don't be scared.
-Okay, ready, ready, ready? -You covered my eyes.
Why wouldn't I be scared? [chuckles]
[all] Surprise!
-Hey. -Hey.
-Guys, what you doing? -[clapping]
[chuckles] Yeah.
Hey, man, you came with a briefcase, man, come on.
Leave this at work, man. Leave this at work.
[laughing]
Got it!
How did, how did you...
Oh, a simple thank you will suffice, okay?
-[both chuckle] -Thank you.
-You're welcome. -Did Imani help plan this?
Uh, no, 'cause you have been both so busy
I didn't want her to worry about this.
-Hey, hey, hey, hey. -One less thing, right?
Enough yap. Let's get the shots going.
-Let's get these shots going. -Yes, yes, yes.
Come on, to our boy. Happy birthday, Deon.
-Hey. -To more life.
[Deon] More life. [Paul] More blessings.
[Deon] Cheers everyone.
[all cheering]
-All right, DJ, play that track. -[Deon chuckles]
♪ We up and we won't give it up ♪
[laughs]
-Yes, he's an expert. -Right, you hear that.
-It's a very specific story. -Right? Okay. Oh, oh, oh, oh.
You see? This is how he is.
-This is how he-- -Imani!
-[Deon chuckles] -Hey, Imani.
-Imani! -Imani!
[both chuckle]
[Tamera] I hope you don't mind me planning
this little birthday party for our Woody.
He doesn't like parties.
Which is why I thought we were having a quiet dinner at home.
Oh, no. Oh. Oh, you messed up. I know him that well.
Because this guy is a party animal
when you get him out of work mode.
Tell her. Tell her, Woody.
-Can you stop calling him that? -[Deon] I...
Can you two just relax?
Look, we all, we're having a good time.
-Let's just chill. -Okay.
All right, I think the alcohol might be catching up.
We may have a repeat of our wedding, guys.
-Uh-oh. -Yeah, yeah.
-It's not all that... Come on. -No, no, no, no.
I had to spend our entire wedding night
with his head in my lap while he threw up all over me.
[all laughing]
-It was terrible. -It was bad. It was bad.
Oh, Imani, sorry.
Uh, Imani, these are our friends from college.
Guys, this is Imani...
[overlapping chatter]
Deon's fiancée.
Okay.
-[man 1] Pleasure. -[Tamera chuckles]
I wasn't throwing up the whole night.
-The whole... Don't lie. -That wasn't...
[Tamera] Do you guys remember this?
The next day it was, it was on full...
And all night, I was with him, all night.
I was like his mother.
[indistinct chatter]
[Tamera] Can I have your attention, please?
[glass clinking]
I am so glad you could all join us
for this very last minute celebration.
As we all know, Deon loves a good party.
So, thank you for coming.
Woody.
We have enough memories to last us an entire lifetime.
Sure, we have had our ups and downs.
Everyone knows that too.
But the one consistency...
has been...
how much you mean to me.
So... cheers to Deon.
To a bond that time cannot erase.
Happy birthday, Woody.
[all] Happy birthday, Woody.
[all cheering]
I can't believe this bullshit.
Girl, you need to straighten that out.
And fast.
[indistinct chatter]
[upbeat music]
-[laughs] -I'm ready to go.
Tamera went through all this trouble putting this together--
Without inviting me?
It probably just slipped her mind.
-What's the big deal? -Deon, I'm done with this shit.
If you wanna go, go.
-No one is stopping you. -Oh, really?
♪ Nobody knows how to love you ♪
What the hell?
Woody. Do you remember our wedding song?
Seriously? That's your wedding song to her?
Mera, can you please give us a minute?
Yeah, of course.
Imani, you are acting really crazy right now.
I'm acting crazy right now, you're kidding me?
You're here embarrassing me.
Listen, listen, listen, listen! I'm leaving.
And you're come with me or you sleep elsewhere.
Your choice.

♪ All tomorrow ♪
♪ Lovers come and go ♪
-Less drama. -Less drama, that's for sure.
-Oh, bet. Oh, he's the coolest. -That's what I'm saying.
-[woman 1] Call a friend. -Call a friend. Call a friend.
Hold up. Hey, hey.
-You good? -[sighs]
Man, ever since Tamera came back,
Imani finds reasons to be mad.
Like, I've never given her a reason not to trust me.
And Mera's been nothing but nice to her.
She probably feels like you don't make time for her.
Sound familiar?
[upbeat music]
Part of me feels guilty.
You know, I was the one that messed up everything with Mera.
Now I can't even offer her my friendship?
-I owe her that at least. -But maybe you don't, man.
-Help! -Whoa, hey, hey, hey, whoa!
-How come? Nicolette! -Nicolette, what happened?
-I was attacked. -Call 9-1-1!
It's okay. You're okay.
If I remember anything, I'll be sure to call.
We'll contact you.
-Please, take this. -Thanks.
-[officer 1] We'll contact you. -Hey.
[officer 1] We'll chat...
[indistinct chatter]
-Thank you. -You okay?
[scoffs] One minute, I'm just washing my hands
in the restroom and the next,
someone is throwing me into the wall
and shoving me to the ground.
-Did you see who it was? -No.
Something is going on around here.
I didn't think I had to worry
about this kind of thing anymore.
-What do you mean? -Imani didn't tell you?
-Hey, Nicolette. -Hey.
How are you feeling?
The EMT says I'll be sore for a few weeks,
but luckily I have some pills at home.
Do you need one of us to give you a ride?
My sister's on her way to get me.
You two just please be careful.
[police radio chatter]
Goodnight.
[sighs]
Well... tonight was interesting.
[scoffs]
[thudding]
[woman moaning]
[breathing deeply]
[grim music]
[knocking on door]
[Imani] Deon.
[knocking urgently]
-[door opens] -Where's Deon?
Imani, do you know what time is it?
Is he in here?
Whoever is in my home is my business.
-Deon. -You are embarrassing yourself.
Deon, get your ass out here now.
-Get out. -Deon, I know you can hear me.
Imani, what the hell are you doing?
[tense music]
-Where were you? -In the office.
Where did you think I was?
Oh, you have got to be kidding me.
Woody, maybe you two should go back inside. It's late.
Imani is being very aggressive and threatening--
-You lying bitch! -Imani! Listen, I'm sorry.
-Don't touch me. -God damn it, Imani.
[Deon] What the hell? [Imani] Where were you?
[Deon] We'll talk about this inside.
I won't take this.
[Imani] Honestly, what's your point?
[door closes]
[grim music]
[woman moaning]
[Deon scoffs]
3:00 in the damn morning,
and you're over there tryna fight Tamera.
I wake up, and you're not in the bed next to me.
What the hell am I supposed to think?
You were drunk and upset at the party.
I was trying to sleep in the office.
You spent the evening all over your ex-wife.
Of course I'll be upset.
All over my ex-wife?
She wants you, Deon.
And you keep feeding right into it.
What have I done?
You keep letting her come around.
-What has she done wrong? -Okay, you know what?
We wouldn't even be having this conversation
if your ass came home on time tonight.
I came home late because Nicolette was attacked.
Okay?
I had to call the police and file a report
so they could investigate.
-Tamera did it. -What?
Okay, I know this might sound weird,
but I think Tamera killed Arthur too.
-[sighs] -She must've found out that
I told Nicolette that she visited him.
What reason does Tamera have to kill Arthur?
So she could move in next door.
-[chuckles] -Okay, look, baby--
I guess you expect me to believe that
she killed Madeline too, huh?
Why didn't you tell me when Nicolette
let you know someone died in this condo?
I didn't think it was worth mentioning.
But this little conspiracy theory about my ex-wife is.
So, what, you're not gonna sleep in here with me?
I can't be around you when you get like this.
It's like you're not even the same woman I fell in love with.
[grim music]
[chuckles]
[spraying perfume]
That new?
-Yeah. -Smells good.
[chuckles softly]
-Look, can we-- -Not in the mood to argue
right now, Imani.
Oh, uh, have you, have you seen my phone?
I can't find it anywhere.
Let me guess.
Tamera has something to do with that too, right?
[door closes]
[elevator dings]
[ominous music]
[door creaks]
Yeah, sounds good.
Let Mr. Simpson know that Paul and I will be reviewing
the settlement agreement this morning.
Shit! Tell Paul I'll be about 30 minutes late.
I have to run back home and grab the agreement.
[music continues]
You love me ?
Always.
-We're... -[laughs]
[both laughing]
[somber music]
Nicolette.
Deon told me about what happened last night.
-Are you okay? -Yeah, I'm fine.
Thanks for your concern.
I just hope they find the idiot who did it.
But I'm not too optimistic.
Has anyone turned in a phone last night?
I think mine must have slipped out of my bag.
I haven't seen one,
but we keep lost and found in my cabinet in my office.
-Let's go take a look. -Thanks.
-Of course. -God, this is so scary.
[dramatic music]
[lock clicks]
[Deon] Yeah, I'm here now.
Let Paul know I'll grab the agreement and be out, okay?
All right, yeah, let me just...
[tense music]
Mera, what are you doing?
I came here looking for you.
I wanted to, um... talk.
[door closes]
[grim music]
[rattling]
-Hey. -Oh. Hey.
I thought you had a meeting this morning.
Yeah, I-I do. I just... forgot something.
[music continues]
Oh!
[music continues]
[exhales sharply]
[exhales]
[gate buzzer blares]
[chains rattling]
[instrumental music]
What do you want?
I think I know a way we can both get what we want, Calvin.
[door opens]
[door closes]
[Imani sighs] This bitch.
[grim music]
[grunts]
[exhales sharply]
I knew it!
[music continues]
[typing]
[sighs]
[typing]
[music continues]
[exhales]
[line ringing]
Hey, sis.
I need you to meet me at the police station.
[instrumental music]
Tamera.
Hey, Paul.
Bringing more lunch?
[instrumental music]
Mm-mm-mm. Tamera, come on.
I thought better of you. This is disappointing.
It's not what you think.
Deon's getting married.
-Imani is a good woman. -Yeah?
You don't even know her.
[Paul] I know that Deon loves her.
And that's why you should respect it.
Woody is being blinded right now.
Paul... you can't see the truth.
-And what's the truth? -She doesn't love him.
[chuckles] Right. And you do?
Of course I do. I've always loved him.
Deon has moved on, and so should you.
[music continues]
If he wants me to leave it alone, Paul,
he will tell me to leave it alone, not you.
And I'm not going anywhere until that bitch
is out of the picture.
So you don't have to like it,
but you will not stop me.
Is that the one that you wanted?
Oh, okay. [chuckles]
-Hey, I gotta go. -[knocks]
[clears throat]
That Imani?
Yeah.
Tamera was here?
Yeah. She just brought some lunch.
Had some business to discuss.
Why?
Look, man, we've been friends for years.
So I'm gonna tell you when you're wrong
whether you like it or not.
Okay.
What are you talking about?
-Tamera. -[chuckles]
It's not like that between us.
Look, D, you can lie to me all you want,
but you can't lie to yourself.
Now, look, I didn't wanna believe it
because I know y'all have your history,
and, you know, she's my girl too.
But come on.
-You can't do that to Imani. -Okay.
Look, I appreciate you looking out.
Really, I do.
But I'm good.
I can handle Mera, and I can handle Imani.
[Paul] So what?
You're just gonna give up a good woman
and keep on sexting your ex-wife?
[ominous music]
-I'm, uh... -D, you-you good?
Deon, are you, Deon, are you okay?
D? Hey, hey, hey. Hey, hey, hey.
Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, wait.
D, D, D, D. Hey, hey.
Someone call an ambulance!
[monitor beeping]
Oh, my God. Thank you for calling.
Hey.
Of course.
Babe.
Oh, I'm so sorry.
-Did the doctor say anything? -Not yet.
[Paul] They, uh, ran some tests,
but they're still waiting on the results.
[Imani exhales]
[Paul] Since you're here to sit with him,
I'm gonna run down the cafeteria.
Grab something to eat. You hungry?
I'm... Yeah, you could just get me whatever you get yourself.
-Okay. Yeah, always. -Thanks.
-[monitor beeping] -Oh, I'm here, hey.
[door opens]
[door closes]
[pensive music]
I thought it could be stress or maybe dehydration,
but we did find traces of cyanide and tetrahydrozoline
-in his bloodstream-- -Excuse me.
But why are you talking to her?
I apologize, but, Mr. Ashwood's wife
is still listed as the emergency contact on our records.
I don't give a damn about your records.
I'm his fiancé.
Anything to do with Deon, you talk to me.
[doctor] Let me get some additional information.
-I'll be right back. -Thank you.
[tense music]
I don't need you checking on my man.
In case you didn't hear, Deon's records show that I am...
I'm still his wife.
You don't have to worry about that anymore.
Hospital records may say you're still his wife,
but the police records say you can't be within 100 feet of us.
[chuckles]
I know you've been stalking me.
This is your final warning.
Is it? Very nice.
Leave me and Deon the hell alone
[music continues]
or you'll regret it.
[sighs]
See you later.
[monitor beeping]
-Hey. -Hey.
Sorry it took so long.
-That's all they had. -Thanks
Any update on our boy?
Well, the doctor left a little while ago.
He said he should be able to be discharged tomorrow.
-Ooh, that's good news. -Mm-hmm.
[monitor beeping]
Are you and, uh...
Are you and D okay?
We're great. Why?
Just making sure.
You know, if there's ever something going on,
you can always talk to me, right?
I know I'm Deon's friend, but I'm here for you too.
I appreciate that.
We're lucky to have you.
[inhales deeply]
-[Deon groans] -Babe. Oh, my God.
Oh, babe, you're awake. How do you feel?
-A little nauseous. -Yeah, oh...
I'm sorry. God, I'm so happy you're awake.
I'm gonna tell the nurse, okay?
[exhales]
What happened?
Doctors think you're dehydrated or stressed.
Hell if I know, man. I'm just glad you're all right.
Hey, D, look.
I didn't mean to come down hard on you,
with the whole Tamera thing earlier.
I know it's none of my business
so I won't press you about it again.
I just wanted to make sure you are living in your present,
not your past.
Yeah, I got it.
Imani hasn't left your side since she's been here, man.
-[sighs] -She really loves you.
So, for the record,
if you have anything you wanna tell her,
now's the time to do it.
[monitor beeping]
There's nothing.
Okay, man.
[door opens]
[door closes]
[grim music]
[Tamera] Okay, Imani. Looks like you're fighting back.
[knock on door]
-Hi. I'm-- -Hi.
I apologize for disturbing you,
but it was brought to my attention
that there's an act of restraining order against you.
So I've heard.
I'm sorry, but I'm gonna have to ask you to leave.
You can't be within 100 feet of Mr. Ashwood or his fiancée.
That applies even when I'm in my own home.
With them buying and you renting,
it's best if we uphold the order
and not make our owners upset.
[exhales] I don't have anywhere else to go.
We'll be happy to refund your rent for this month
as well as your deposits so you can get a hotel
until you find a place.
Again, I'm so sorry. But I hope you understand.
[grim music]
[line rings]
Hey. I need a favor.
-You okay? -Yeah.
-Oh, God. -I've been better.
[chuckles] Well, maybe now with a few days off of work,
you can finally relax.
Yeah. Never blacked out before.
The doctor said it was stress.
So lots of fluids, lots of rest, and lots of love.
And then maybe you could check some things
off that wedding to-do list that I gave you.
-I'm sorry. I'll get to it. -Mmm.
[sighs]
[cell phone vibrates]
Hey. I can't talk right now.
Yeah, I know. I want to, but not now.
Call you after she goes to work.
Who's that?
Oh, uh, just Paul, you know, checking in. Thanks.
Why didn't you tell me Tamera was pregnant?
[coughs]
Uh, because...
I feel like maybe I was partially to blame
for the miscarriage.
Like maybe if I'd been around more,
she wouldn't have lost the baby.
I'm sorry.
I know about you and Tamera sleeping together.
I found her earring in the office.
And you know what? I wanted to be mad about it.
But to think I almost lost you really freaked me out.
So... no more Tamera.
No more secrets and lies. I want us.
Okay?
-I love you. -I love you too.
Get some rest.
[door closes]
[water sloshing]
[grim music]
[line ringing]
[Deon] You reached Deon Ashwood.
Leave a message.
Woody, please don't ignore me.
I just need to talk to you.
-I need to see you. Okay? -[elevator dings]
[suspenseful music]
[Imani] Hey, babe.
Here's the paperwork for the marriage license.
And I still need your signatures
on the rental agreement for the venue,
and contracts for the caterer. All that fun stuff.
[chuckles] Oh, you were gonna take full advantage
-of me being home, huh? -Oh, absolutely.
[chuckles] Oh, by the way,
I wanna show you this resort for the honeymoon.
[soft music]
Uh, oh, yeah. Turks and Caicos.
What do you think?
Yeah.
-Everything okay? -Yeah.
Just remembered that I'm gonna need some paperwork
from the office since I'm gonna be home for a while.
I could go. You stay here and rest.
[chuckles softly]
Can you just grab this stack of folders by my computer?
Okay. Got it.
-Thank you. -[Imani] You're welcome.
[grim music]
Can I help you? Are you following me, Tamera?
[phone vibrates]
-[grunting] -What the hell are you doing?
[Jada grunts] You freakin' bitch.
[beeps]
Imani... you back?
[grim music]
[knock on door]
[music continues]
[knock on door]
Mr. Ashwood,
we're evacuating the floor due to an electrical malfunction.
I need you to come with me.
Uh, yeah. Sure.
[suspenseful music]
Power outage.
They don't work.
We have to go another way.
[door creaks]
[door shuts]
[music continues]
[Deon] Is this the right way? [Teddy] Yep.
Just keep forward.
[grunts]
[breathes heavily] Oh!
[music continues]
Where are we going?
You know what? Maybe I'll just wait in the condo.
[groans] What are you doing?
Calm down, damn it.
You'll understand what's going on soon enough.
Get the fuck off me.
[grunts]
[intense music]
[grunts]
[Teddy] Now as I was saying.
Hey, hey, are you okay?
I-I-I don't know. He just attacked me.
How did you know we were down here?
The door, the door was open, and I heard a commotion.
Did I kill him?
Did I kill him? Did I kill him?
I-I don't know. You're okay. You're okay.
I got you. Okay? Okay. I got you. I got you.
It's okay. You're okay. Okay?
We'll call the police, and we'll tell them that.
-It's gonna be okay. -Turn around.
-It's over. Mm-hmm. -Mera.
What the hell are you doing?
How did you get in here?
Oh, you were expecting someone else?
Yeah. I found your little secret passage, Imani.
Please, please don't hurt me.
-Shut the fuck up. -Please!
-Tamera, put the gun down. -No. No. No.
No! I tried.
I tried to get you to see for yourself,
but she has her claws in deep.
[crying]
-Please, Tamera. -Shut up.
She's using you, Woody.
She's using you, okay?
I have been trying to show you that she is a liar.
That's why she got a restraining order on me.
Right? Hmm?
You were stalking me. I was scared.
Look at you. Put gun in my face.
-Tamera, please! -This is Jada's gun, Woody.
I took it from her. She was coming up here to kill you.
-My sister would never do that. -Tell him exactly who you are.
-Huh? -You tell him.
Tell him.
This is Imani Shaw.
What are you talking about?
They're Calvin's sisters, Woody.
God.
This place used to be called Portofino.
Owned by who? Edward Winters.
Yes. Yes.
Imani and Jada changed their names to Reed
when they went into the foster system.
[Tamera] Tell him. Damn it.
D, would I ever lie to you?
[tense music]
This bitch is not even a pastry chef.
Have you ever seen her clients?
Have you ever seen her bake anything?
That's not true. That's not true.
Deon knows I worked really hard
my whole life for me and my sister.
You're fucking lying.
Put the gun down, Tamera,
or I swear to God, I will shoot you.
-[Tamera] Woody, please. -Now.
[grim music]
[breathes deeply]
Hey, you okay?
Yeah.
But you're not.
-[gunshots] -[groans]
[instrumental music]
She tried to warn me about you.
I actually came here looking for you.
[Tamera] I've been doing some diggin' into Imani.
For what?
[Tamera] Since I met her,
something just seemed off.
I don't think she's being honest with you.
Tamera, you got it all wrong.
[camera shutter clicks]
What do you want?
I think I know a way we can both get what we want, Calvin.
[music continues]
And who the hell are you?
I am your miracle.
Tell me who this is,
and I may be able to help you get your sentence reduced.
-[groans] -[chuckles]
You should have listened to her.
-Where's my sister? -Gone.
And when she comes back, I'll make sure
she finishes you off.
[grim music]
Oh.
[chuckles]
Don't look so pitiful.
You'll be joining her soon enough.
Go. Hurry up.
Pull all the files you have on Calvin.
[shallow breathing]
Can't have anything tracing back to us.
[music continues]
[labored breathing]
Thought you loved me.
Oh, now you know how I felt
when you convinced my brother to take that plea deal.
[groans] He-he agreed to it.
You were supposed to help him.
But you got distracted playing house with Tamera,
and you let an innocent man go to jail for
Edward Winter's children.
[Imani] Madeline and Arthur.
They killed their daddy for their inheritance money.
Everyone knew it. But you couldn't prove it.
So instead, you let my innocent brother take the fall.
[groaning]
[grim music]
Why not just kill me too?
Who says I haven't been?
[Deon] Guy denies murdering his best friend
but all the evidence suggests he did.
Probably gonna offer him a plea deal.
-Hey. -Hey.
Morning.
[doctor] I thought it could be stress
or maybe dehydration,
but we did find traces of cyanide
and tetrahydrozoline in his bloodstream.
Here's the paperwork for the marriage license.
[music continues]
[Imani] And now, I'm the beneficiary
in your untimely death.
So it was worth it.
Money? And that's what this is all about?
Well, it's the least you can do.
And Teddy?
[Imani] He was keeping an eye on you for Tamera.
You attacked Nicolette.
That bitch was getting a little too suspicious of those deaths.
Imani, don't do this. I love you.
I thought you were the one.
[music continues]
Was any of it real?
-Thank you. -[both laughing]
[Imani] How does it feel to be betrayed by the person
who's supposed to have your back?
[door closes]
Move... now!
[Imani] Where's that bitch?
