- [Olivia] Good morning.
Morning.
- Hello.
- Hey, is everything okay?
- I need to see you in the conference room now.
- Okay. Did I do something wrong?
Hello? What?
- [All] Surprise.
(group claps)
- Girl, you should have seen your face.
You went like, "Is something wrong?
What's going on? Please tell me."
- Yeah 'cause you almost gave me a heart attack.
- We wanted to celebrate you making Designer of the Year,
so we decided to throw you this lovely surprise party.
- [Olivia] Thank you.
- It was actually my idea per yoozh.
Anyway, someone get this icon a glass of champagne.
- No, no, no, no, no champagne.
Harlet, I'm pregnant. - Yes, I'm so sorry.
Let's do a flavored decaffeinated non-alcoholic beverage.
Quickly, quickly, I wanna say my speech.
- Thank you. - There you go.
- [All] Speech, speech, speech, speech,
speech, speech, speech.
- Not you, me.
Excuse me.
10 years ago when I piloted this firm,
it was in hopes of creating an interior decorating company
that would stand out in the city.
Clearly I wasn't thinking big enough
because we have been deemed the interior design company
of the whole Midwest.
(employees cheering)
But truly, I could not have done this
without each and every last one of you, even you.
But especially this woman right here.
Oh my goodness.
She has been deemed the interior designer of the year
for not just the first, not just the second,
but the third year in a row.
(employees clapping) - Thank you.
- Come on up, here, Olivia Johnson.
Congratulations. - Oh my God.
- [Harlet] Give me that.
- Thank you. Thank you, thank you.
Wow. Thank you guys so much.
I just wanna express how grateful I am.
(high-pitched resonance whining)
Oh, sorry about that.
I wanna express how grateful I am
to work for such an esteemed organization
and just to continue to grow
with each and every one of you guys.
So let's just continue to break these barriers.
And to the Harlets.
- [All] To the Harlets.
- [Harlet] Ooh, I had too much champagne.
- [Olivia] A great speech, by the way.
- Girl, I worked on this for so long
it should have turned out even better.
But thanks for the compliment.
But enough about me.
Girl, you, I'm so proud of you.
And I know I say it all the time, but keep it up.
- Thank you.
I love you so much. - I love you too, baby.
(high-pitched resonance whining)
Olivia, are you okay?
(Olivia bawls)
- Someone please call 911.
(police siren wailing)
- I know that this is very hard news.
But I want you to understand that we're here to support you,
to answer any questions you may have
and whenever you're ready
to discuss the next steps in her care, okay?
- Thank you.
- Having a miscarriage doesn't mean
that this is the end to your parenthood journey.
If the two of you are ready,
we can start taking a look at other options.
- Okay.
- For starters, there's adoption.
- Adoption?
No, I'm sorry.
Nothing against it, but we're not doing that.
- Okay. There's also surrogacy.
An embryo will be created from your egg,
and his sperm is inserted into another woman
who will proceed to carry your child for you.
- That's it?
I don't like these options.
- So what you're saying is there's no other way
that she would be able to get pregnant?
- Yeah, like ever?
- I'd advise against it.
Due to the cervical insufficiency,
it just wouldn't be safe for you to do so.
- Excuse me.
- Thank you. I'm sorry.
- Hey, don't be. Take care of yourself.
- Thank you.
(gentle wistful music)
- You sure? - Yeah.
(gentle wistful music continues)
- Thanks for making dinner, but I can't do this.
(gentle wistful music continues)
- And I said to him, is this a design scene
or a crime scene?
It's horrible.
- I mean, who keeps the work?
- I don't know, I don't know.
- We'll talk later. - Okay, honey.
Oh my goodness.
(door knocks)
Hey, come in, come in.
- Hey. - Hey.
- I wanted to apologize about what happened the other day.
- Why are you apologizing?
No, we were all concerned about you.
- Well, you don't need to be concerned.
I promise you I'm good. Just ready to get back to work.
And plus, someone told me
that you have a new project for me?
So is this real estate, commercial, what is it?
- It's neither.
- What do you mean?
- Olivia, there's been a change of plans.
- Oh my God, are you firing me?
- Girl, god, no. I need you.
I just need you to work from home.
- Oh, come on.
- Work from home? - Yeah.
You've been tired and overworked.
I think you should try it.
- Okay, but, I mean, can I be the one to decide that?
- No, seeing as you brought yourself in here today
shows me you're not making good decisions.
But hold, you have,
this box is heavy,
you have everything that you need
in order to jump on tomorrow morning's call.
Here sweetie. There you go.
So I'll put your purse in here
to make it a little bit easier for you.
Okay.
- Come on. What?
What if I just come in like a few days a week?
- It's final, okay?
I'll see you online.
Go on. Let me help you with this, it's heavy, all right?
On three. One, two, three, lift.
Bye, honey.
I know.
Olivia.
You look fabulous. Fabulous.
(gentle melancholic music)
(gentle melancholic music continues)
(Olivia whimpering)
- Hello ladies, welcome back to my channel.
Are you struggling with infertility?
If you are, you're not alone.
Do you know that one in four women over the age of 35--
- Oh, shut up.
- Hey, gorgeous. - Hey baby.
You're home early.
- Yeah, well, Harlet said that
I have to start working from home now.
- Well, that's a good thing though.
- No. I mean, my work was the one thing
that was keeping me sane around here.
- Yeah?
- Oh shit. - What?
- I forgot that Vanessa was stopping by.
- Well, you can't reschedule?
- Nope. She's already on the way.
- [Logan] All right.
- You know, I had to come check on my girl.
So how you been?
- Exhausted, mentally and physically.
- [Vanessa] That's grief for you.
- How did you handle it when your mom passed?
- I didn't. I just found comfortable ways to live with it.
- Guess I'm just waiting on the comfortable part.
- It'll come, but don't be too quick to rush it, okay?
I know how you get.
- Vanessa, I feel like I check all the boxes, right?
A successful designer, college graduate awardee,
but I can't get the most important one, being a mom.
- Listen to me,
you got the rest of your life to become a mom, okay?
So don't stress yourself out over that.
- You're right. - I know.
- Well, you know what we haven't done in a while.
- What?
- Shots.
- Let's do it. - Yes.
All right, here.
- Pull it up, pull it up.
- [Olivia] I'm gonna give you the big one.
- [Vanessa] No, I don't need the big one.
- You do.
(bright upbeat music)
Gonna pour me another one.
- You might wanna slow down, it's like your fifth shot.
- That's my sixth shot.
And we need to do another one.
- No, you're done.
- No, no. - You're done.
- I wanna drink water.
I don't need any water.
I know what I need.
I need to text Harlet.
Yeah, text her.
Tell her ass I'm not doing this work from home bullshit.
- No, you're not.
- Give me my-- - Nope.
- Give me my phone. - No, no.
That's not what you need right now, stop.
- Says who? - Says me.
When was the last time you went on a vacation?
Get some self care, spent some real quality time with Logan.
I mean, you still are a wife.
- That I am. That is right.
At least I still am a wife.
- And what that supposed to mean?
- I mean, I'm just saying.
Someone who can't keep a man
shouldn't be trying to tell me how to keep up with mine.
- First of all, I wasn't trying to tell you
how to keep up with yours,
I was just trying to be supportive.
- Thank you. - There's your phone.
And fuck you, how about that?
- Oh, I love your scarf.
Wait, wait. Come on, let's do another one.
One more.
(body thuds) Oh.
(gentle foreboding music)
(Olivia retching)
(Olivia coughing)
- [Amber] Good morning. - [Both] Hi.
- It's so nice to see the two of you,
I'm glad you could make it.
We took a hard look at your requirements,
and after careful consideration,
we believe that one of these ladies
would make an excellent match for the two of you.
- Wow. Okay.
- We do have a limited selection
so I suggest that you start the interviewing process
as soon as possible.
- Okay, let's get to it.
- So I am a part-time babysitter and a doula.
- I just really love helping people build families.
- I'm not ready to be a mother yet,
but it is so rewarding to watch a baby grow inside of me.
- Honestly, it was just a matter of time
before this opportunity presented itself.
- I just didn't have a connection with any of them.
- With any of them? - No.
- I just don't know how, these are some of our best women.
- And I'm sure that they are.
But that doesn't mean that I trust them
to carry my child for nine months.
I just, you know what?
Honestly, I don't think this is for us.
I think this was a mistake.
- Okay. - Don't worry.
I have one more lady
that I think might work out.
Perfect.
- Okay. Elaine Wilson.
She's good with children.
Hmm.
- Elaine Wilson, three times surrogate.
Went to college for nursing.
Part-time doula when she's not at work and a mother of one.
I don't know. Maybe.
- I think she's perfect.
- Okay. Okay. - All right.
I will do the honors of setting up the appointment.
- I'm excited. - Yeah?
- Yeah, I just wanna ask her so many questions,
like, how giving birth was,
and I don't know, I just wanna know everything about it.
- You think she's the right one?
- I hope so. - Okay.
- I just wanted to hurry up and get here.
- Well, she's on her way.
- Okay. - Yeah, just breathe.
- She was supposed to be here forever ago.
- All right, just try and call her again.
Can't hurt.
- It's going straight to voicemail.
I knew it. She ghosted us.
(Logan chuckles)
- You know what, I'm over this.
I'm done with this to surrogate BS.
I don't wanna deal with the agency. Let's just go home.
- [Logan] All right, babe.
- Morgan?
- Liv? - Oh my God.
- Hi. - Hi.
- I haven't seen you in forever.
Hi, Logan. - Hey.
- What are you doing here?
- I should be asking you the same thing.
- I just moved to the area.
I heard there coffee was really good,
wanted to see if I could get one in before they closed.
- Yeah. - Do you come here often?
- Yeah, this is really my spot.
Logan and I were just here doing interviews.
- Interviews for what?
- Yeah, I'm going make a call real quick.
- Okay.
- For surrogates. - You're kidding.
- No.
- Oh, it sounds like we have a lot to catch up on.
- You don't know the half of it.
- Here, give me your phone.
I'll give you my number, I think it's changed.
- Wow. What are the odds?
- I know, right? This is crazy.
Right here.
- We definitely gotta link up.
- Yeah, I would love that. - Okay, perfect.
- Well, good seeing you guys. Good luck.
- Yeah. - Okay.
- [Both] See you.
- Are you ready, babe?
- Yes. - Okay.
It's crazy. I haven't seen her since college.
- [Logan] Ah, really?
- [Olivia] God, I have so many questions.
- [Morgan] Well, I have so many answers.
- Well, what happened after first semester?
I mean, you just completely fell off the face of earth,
you didn't call or anything.
- It was crazy.
They cut my financial aid
so I couldn't afford to keep taking classes.
Everything happened all at once.
I just, I had to drop out.
- Oh my God.
- Yeah, I got a job to cover the gaps,
but never enough to re-enroll fully.
- I'm so sorry, Morgan, I had no idea.
- No, it's okay. I don't really think anyone knows.
It was a really hard time for me,
and I definitely sort of removed myself from everyone.
So it's actually this community group,
the girls there really encouraged me to get back out there.
So that's what I'm trying to do now.
- Aww okay. Well, I love that for you.
- Thanks. Well, that's enough about me.
How have you been?
- I've been good.
Logan and I ended up getting married.
- Oh my gosh, congratulations.
- Thank you.
- And then after that, I started working my dream job.
- At Harlets? - Yes, Harlets.
And then, so after that,
oh, how did you know that?
- Oh, that's all you could talk about in college.
- Of course. That's what you meant, okay yeah.
So yeah, I started working my dream job.
And then Logan and I tried for a family for the second time.
We went to a surrogacy agency.
We just weren't too thrilled about the options there, so.
- You said the second time, what happened the first?
I'm sorry, you don't have to talk about it if it's too much.
- No, you know what? I probably should talk about it.
I had a miscarriage.
- I'm so sorry.
- No, it's okay.
It's been hard, obviously,
but I just thought trying for a second time,
like it would bring me some hope.
But I don't know,
it kind of feels like it's done the complete opposite.
- Is there anything I could do to support you?
(high-pitched resonance whining)
- Oh, I'm so sorry.
- Oh, in terms of support, I mean,
if you happen to know a surrogate, send her my way.
- Oh my God. Well, you know, I will.
I know we didn't know each other very long,
but in college I always considered you a really good friend.
- No, same. I'm so glad we got a chance to reconnect.
- Me too.
Wait, this is gonna sound crazy,
what do you think about me?
- What do you mean?
- What do you think about me being your surrogate?
- What? No.
Morgan, no, I didn't ask you to do that.
That is way too much.
- No, but you're not asking, I'm offering.
I'm really passionate about
women being able to take back what's theirs.
And I think you deserve to be a mother,
you'd be such a good mom.
I can help you with that.
- I don't know what to say.
Okay, well, let's just say
we table the conversation for now,
and I'll talk to Logan and see what he thinks about it.
- Sounds good.
Just wanted you to know the offers on the table.
- Thank you. - Of course.
Well, cheers to reconnecting.
- This place is cute.
- Look, Liv, think we should just
really keep our options open.
- Babe, what?
Me, you and Morgan were like three Ps in a pod
when she was my roommate.
I thought this would be an automatic yes for you.
- Yeah, but I mean,
just 'cause she was a good college roommate to you
doesn't mean she's the right person
to help move our life forward.
- Okay, well, I disagree.
Babe, you know how hard this process is already.
I at least want someone I'm familiar with,
someone I can trust, someone we can trust.
- Trust? What makes her trustworthy?
- What do you mean? I know her.
We lived together already.
I mean, these other girls are complete strangers.
We know nothing about them.
I think this is the safest option.
- I mean, like, I don't get that.
I mean, like, what if she wake up one day,
and like, oh my God, I don't wanna be a surrogate.
- Babe, she did go to college for nursing
before she had to drop out.
Plus, I mean, when we talked,
it seemed like she really had a passion for this.
I mean, she really wants to help women
take back their rights to becoming mothers.
- Wait, now, are those her words or yours?
- Yes, they're her words.
Babe, come on, it just feels right.
I feel it in my spirit. This is the choice.
- All right. No.
I think we should stick
and go with somebody else at the agency.
- Why, so we can get stood up by another Elaine?
No, I'm good. I'm sold on her.
- Look. All right, come here.
I just don't want you to regret this.
- I won't.
Babe, please, this is really our chance to start a family.
And you know how much we both want this.
This is our chance. Please?
Please, please?
- Yes.
- It's a yes? - Yes.
All right baby.
- Babe, it's gonna be great. Trust me?
Love you.
We're having a baby.
So excited. We're finally doing this, babe.
- I need to be honest, babe.
I think we're making a huge mistake.
I honestly don't feel it in my heart.
I think it's wrong, I think we're gonna regret it.
- Logan, you picked a hell of a time to say something.
- Well, we talked about this and you said yes.
- All right, well, I'm saying no now.
- Okay, well, she's on her way, so it's too late.
- All right, well, I'm going.
- No.
- Hi.
- Hi. - Hi.
Well, this is just so exciting.
I have to ask, what made you both say yes?
- Well, we both wanted to go with someone
that I had a connection with.
And what better person than an old friend?
- I just wanted to say you made the right decision.
I am so honored to start this journey with you both,
and I can't wait.
- Hey.
- All right, it's done. - It's done?
- [Marie] It's done.
- Thank you. - You're welcome.
You'll be receiving a phone call from us
regarding the results in a couple of weeks.
- Okay. - All right.
- Thank you. - You're welcome.
- We did it. You okay?
- Yeah, I'm nervous.
Are you okay?
- I'm nervous.
Come on, baby.
We did it. Woo.
Okay, so I know we talked about a darker brown,
but after looking at these ceilings,
I kind of wanna throw the whole pallet away.
What do you ladies think of ambrosia?
- [Employee] I'm thinking more of like a pantone green.
- Oh, God, no.
Eww, pantone green.
Oh, one second, ladies.
Hello? Hi, yes.
Okay, can you give me one second please?
Babe, babe.
- [Logan] What's wrong?
- It's the hospital.
- What did they say?
- I don't know.
- Breathe, all right?
- Okay, okay.
Hello.
- [Operator] Mrs. Olivia Johnson.
I just wanted to let you know
that her test results came back positive.
- Oh my god.
Oh, I'm sorry. Thank you, thank you.
Is this happening?
(bright triumphant music)
Oh, I gotta get back to work.
Sorry about that.
- Hey. - Hi, Liv.
- How are you? - I'm good. How are you?
- Come in.
This way.
- Liv, this place is beautiful.
- Thank you.
When me and Logan first got it,
we thought it'd be the perfect spot to start a family.
- I can absolutely see that.
- Hey, I wanted to thank you again for doing this for me.
I really appreciate it.
- You don't need to thank me.
I never thought I would have an experience like this,
and I'm glad.
- Yeah, it wasn't the route I was thinking of going,
but hey, it is what it is, right?
Elijah's with you.
You know what, can I show you something?
It took me months to come in here after we lost the baby.
It's still a work in progress.
God, Logan and I really tried to get this room together.
I'm talking we had boxes stacked up to the ceiling.
- You're gonna be a good mom.
We're in this together now.
- Thanks, Morgan.
- Oh, I didn't even ask, are you okay?
Some water, some tea or something?
- Tea would be great. - Okay, I got you.
(gentle foreboding music)
- [Olivia] Hey.
- That was so fast, thank you.
- [Olivia] You're welcome.
- He's been making me so nauseous.
- Oh, we better get going, we gotta go to that checkup.
- Mm, all right.
- [Voicemail] Vanessa Smith, leave a message.
- Dammit.
(phone ringing)
Ness
- [Vanessa] What do you want?
- I'm sorry.
I'm sorry about yesterday.
I didn't mean anything that I said.
I was drunk, I was stupid.
I was just dealing with all this shit that's going on.
That's not an excuse.
Ness, you're my best friend.
You are like my sister, and I can't lose you right now.
Can you please forgive me.
Hello?
- [Vanessa] I didn't say you were stupid.
Remind me never to let you get that drunk again, okay?
- Ever.
- What are you doing tomorrow?
I was gonna see if you could come by,
I got something to tell you.
- [Vanessa] Okay, well, I'll be there.
- Okay, I love you.
- [Vanessa] Love you too.
- Bye. - Bye-bye.
(phone vibrating)
- Hello?
Oh, okay, slow down, slow down.
Okay. Do you need us to come get you?
Of course you can.
Okay.
Somebody broke into Morgan's house.
- Huh?
- I was asleep and I woke up to the sounds of glass breaking
and footsteps thudding.
So I ran downstairs, and there were this three men
going through my whole apartment,
my clothes, my jewelry, they broke my TV,
and I was worried they were gonna hurt me too.
So I called the police and I didn't know what else to do.
- It's okay, it's okay.
I'm so sorry that happened to you, Morgan.
- You said this happened in Royal Oak?
That's a safe neighborhood.
- I thought so too.
- Look, you are more than welcome to stay with us.
- I don't wanna be a bother to you guys.
I couldn't do it. - No, no, no, no, no, no.
You're not bothering us.
- You sure?
- Yes, we're sure.
Right, honey?
- We're sure.
- [Vanessa] Okay, thank you.
- Of course.
So this will be your room,
and hopefully this can at least
help you take your mind off some things.
- [Vanessa] Thank you so much.
- No, it's okay.
- This is so much more than enough.
I just...
I'm gonna have to repay you for all this somehow.
- Stop, Morgan. Stop it.
You're doing enough, okay?
I do wanna let you know I am working from home now,
so I'm usually tucked away in my office
or in a living room somewhere.
But other than that, I'm out the way.
- I'll try to stay outta your way.
- You're fine.
Well, I'll let you get settled in.
If you need anything, I'm just down the hall.
- Okay. - Okay.
Get some rest, okay?
- I am happy about the surrogate and all,
but you let her do what?
Have you lost your damn mind?
- What was I supposed to do?
I mean, she's carrying our baby
and she had nowhere to stay,
so she's just part of the family for now.
- You can not just be calling anybody your family.
You know that's your problem, right?
You are way too nice.
- Excuse me, I didn't know that being nice was a crime.
- Oh, it's not.
But if it was a crime to be as gullible as shit,
you would be serving 25 to life without parole.
- Okay, relax.
Plus she won't even be here that long.
Once she gives birth, she'll be back to her old life.
We'll be all set, and that'll be that.
But until then, no woman gets left behind, so be nice.
- Good morning, ladies. - Hey.
Morgan, this is my best friend Vanessa,
Vanessa, this is Morgan.
- Hi Vanessa. It's great to meet you.
- Likewise.
- So how's the pregnancy going?
- It's going.
Yeah, some days are easier than others,
but being a mommy has its ups and downs, right?
- I'm sorry, I thought you said a mommy,
like you were the mommy.
- I'm pregnant.
Like baby.
- Yeah, okay, and that's my cue to head out.
I love you.
I'll see you later. - Love you too.
Call me when you get home.
- Surely will. - Good to meet you.
- [Vanessa] Mm-hm.
- So I just get all face shots?
All right.
Look at her.
Mm-hm, show it off.
That bounce back though.
Ooh. - Okay, enough.
- You look so nice. So you're going out tonight?
- Yeah, we figured we'd have a little date night
to celebrate us becoming parents.
- That's nice. - Yeah.
- Oh, well, maybe the next time
the three of us can do something.
- Yeah, like this was just a
spur-of-the-moment type of thing.
- No, no, that's okay. You guys have so much fun.
- Thank you. Well, call us if you need anything, okay?
- Okay.
- All right, let's get you outta here.
- Goodnight. - Bye.
(footsteps thumping)
(gentle brooding music)
Good morning. - Hey, morning.
Oh, just so you know, my mother's flying into town.
She's gonna be staying with us.
- For how long?
- Just until the baby gets here.
We're gonna get some extra hands around the house.
- Do we need extra hands?
I thought that we were handling it pretty well.
- I know I don't need it, but I want it.
Anyways, I gotta jump on this call.
I'll talk to you later.
- Yeah, okay.
- [Olivia] There she is.
- [Christy] My favorite daughter.
- [Olivia] You mean your only daughter?
- Wait, I'm not in the other room?
- [Olivia] Oh yeah, Mom, I forgot.
Morgan's gonna be in there this time.
- So tell me how all this whole surrogacy thing works.
- Oh, well, basically the doctor takes my eggs
and Logan's sperm--
- Ah, you can stop right there.
I've heard enough already.
- Okay, Ma.
But you know I can't have kids myself,
so this is the only option outside of adoption.
- I know, sweetheart.
This is just something I'm getting used to.
- Well, thank you.
You wanna take your coat off?
I can show you the baby's room.
- Yes.
So if Morgan is delivering the baby,
is the baby gonna turn out, you know?
- Black? - Yeah.
- Yes, Mom.
- [Christy] I just have to ask.
I don't know how all this genetic mutation stuff works.
- What's it gonna turn out to be?
What am I gonna do with you?
- Wow.
- I know, I'm trying.
- And how are you doing?
How are you handling everything?
- Not well, but I just keep telling myself
that once the baby gets here, everything will make sense
and it'll be good.
- Yeah.
Is Morgan around?
- Yeah, she's taking a nap.
Can I tell you a story?
- Yeah.
- Moving day was trying, to say the least.
I was in the car bawling my eyes out
knowing I had to leave you on campus that day.
So I bought you a necklace
so you wouldn't forget to call your mama.
Nothing fancy, just a dainty little old thing
with the heart in the middle.
I forgot to tell you that day because I was in such a rush.
Anyways, the point is that it was a gift.
And you know the next time I saw it--
- Hi, Miss Christie.
- Hey sweetheart, how was your nap?
- Short. Thanks to this one.
- Oh yeah, I do remember those feelings
and I don't miss it at all.
- I'm sure you don't.
Just wanted to say hi, show my face.
And I'll see you around.
- All right.
- Ma, be nice, please.
- That dog bits my ass, bitch.
- [Olivia] Ma, don't say that.
(gentle suspenseful music)
- Hey. - Hi.
- That woman you were sitting across from the other day,
is she your friend?
- Well, yeah, friend, surrogate, old roommate.
She owns a lot of titles.
- Oh, okay.
- Do the two of you know each other?
- Is it okay if I have a seat?
- Sure.
- Look, you don't know me,
but I know Morgan, so you have to believe me
when I say you've made a huge mistake.
- Alexis, you need to get back to work.
- I'm sorry. Can we just have a few more seconds?
- [Manager] No, she needs to get back to work.
- Okay. - I'm sorry.
- This is really nice having everyone here.
- Yeah, I didn't really do this much growing up.
- And why is that?
- My parents had their differences.
- Well, differences are not,
my mother made me have dinner with her every single night.
- [Christy] I sure did.
- That's so cute.
So Logan,
are you excited to have this baby?
- Yes, he is.
- Okay, so all of this is a little new to me.
Back in my generation, if you couldn't have a baby,
you just didn't.
- Ma, don't start.
- I'm not starting anything, I'm just saying.
- I know these things can be really sudden
and sometimes changes like this take a while to get used to.
I just am really grateful we're all being so supportive.
- Oh, I'm very supportive.
I just want what's best for my daughter.
- We all do.
- I really think it's a beautiful thing
what the two of you are doing,
building a family, creating new life.
I'm a very firm believer in the fact that
women and women alone should be the ones who pick and choose
when they get to have children.
- Yes, I agree.
Excuse me.
- What the hell was that? - She's playing mind games.
- Keep your voice down.
- She's playing mind games at the table.
- No, but what I did see was your ass get up from that table
and leave me, my mother,
and our new surrogate just sitting there.
- You didn't see her looking directly at me and she says,
"Are you excited to have this baby?"
- So what?
She's excited, and she's just being supportive.
- Supportive?
There's a fine line between supportive and control.
She's trying to control us.
- [Olivia] No, she is not.
- [Logan] Well, you need to go say something to her.
- And say what?
Be less supportive and be not concerning about the child
that's ours that she's carrying?
I'm not gonna do that.
- I don't care what you say to her,
but once that baby's here, she's gone.
- Well, guess what?
Good thing that was the plan already.
You can get comfy on that couch.
- Hey. - Hey.
Sorry about the other day,
boss lady gets like that sometimes.
- That's fine.
Actually, I was wondering
if we could finish that conversation.
- I think I'm just gonna let it go.
I don't wanna overstep any boundaries.
- Are you sure?
I mean, kind of seemed like you had something to tell me.
- Yeah, I'm sure.
- Okay.
- Okay, look, I gotta tell you.
- Okay.
- Lady you were with, your surrogate, I know her.
A few years ago I was a part of this community group,
it was for women recovering from personal trauma,
substance abuse, alcoholism,
and she was in that group.
- Okay.
- There was something very off about her.
We all felt like it.
- What do you mean off?
- I mean, vengeful, angry.
- Morgan? No.
You must have her confused with someone else.
I mean, she's like the sweetest girl I know.
- That's what I thought too at first.
We used to all get together and tell stories of our past.
And I guess she had this incident happen to her in college,
I just recall her being so hell bent on getting revenge.
If I were you, I'd wash my bag.
- [Olivia] Incident? What incident?
- Long story short-- - Morgan.
- Hi. - What are you doing here?
- I was just gonna grab a coffee.
Oh, I kind of like this.
So great to see you. You look so good.
- Yeah, she was just telling me
that you guys know each other.
- Yes.
Yes, remember that community group I was telling you about?
Really great place. Lots of healing.
Yeah, that's where we met.
I found out Alexis is a recovering drug addict
and she was involved in this really unfortunate
hit and run incident.
I'm just so glad to see you
making the best out of your life going forward again.
This diner's so cute. Good for you.
- It's a coffee shop.
- Yeah, it's what I meant.
- What was that about?
- I am so glad I came in when I did.
I know that she seems sweet, but she's so dangerous.
Olivia, you cannot trust addicts.
They're compulsive liars, and everyone around her,
she just brings them all down with her.
And that's just not the kind of thing that I want
for you or your family,
especially with baby on the way.
- Right, right.
Oh, I gotta get going.
Just gonna see my mom for a pedicure.
So I'll catch you later?
- Yeah, that sounds great.
- Have fun. - Thanks.
- See you at home. - Bye.
(tense ominous music)
- On Monday at 12. - Monday at 12, I'm there.
- All right, cool.
I got you locked in. - My dog.
Appreciate that, bro. - Yeah.
So how's it going with you and wifey?
- Trash.
Honestly, dawg, I'm just trying to take it day by day
with this whole surrogacy thing, man.
And be empathetic with Liv and the miscarriage,
all the emotions.
But I want this bitch out my house now.
- Who, the surrogate?
- Yeah, bro. Like, it's crazy.
She's always just around, man.
And then she stares at me like, like AI,
where it's like.
- No, wait, wait.
Why the fuck is she in the house in the first place?
- Because when she first got pregnant,
somebody tried to break into her house.
So me and Liv, we told her to come stay with us.
- Yeah, but she got family or friends,
somebody she can go to?
- No she doesn't. She has nobody.
- Alright, well that's tough.
- It is, I mean,
but at the same time, I still need eyes on her.
- Why?
- I fucked up, man.
- What you done did now?
(gentle ominous music)
(car engine cranking)
(Alexis screams)
- So that's what happened, man, I messed up.
- Nah, nah, nah, you fucked up.
- [Olivia] Hey baby.
- All right bro, I'll see you on Monday.
- Hey guys. - Hey.
- Hey Vincent. - Hey.
- Long time no see. - Yeah, how you doing?
- How's the business going?
- Good. Expanding, actually,
Logan's actually gonna give me some spots downtown.
- Monday.
- Okay, well I know he's gonna get you together,
so congratulations. - Thank you
- Baby, I'm gonna get get started on dinner, okay?
- Okay.
- All right. Good seeing you.
- You too.
- I'm surprised her crazy ass wasn't following behind.
- You just make sure you take care
of what you need to take care of.
- I will.
- Wait, wait, you're that famous designer, right?
I'm a huge fan. Hey, can we get a selfie?
- Yeah.
- I'm Morgan. I'm having their baby.
- Oh, okay.
- Yeap. Alright, cool, I'll walk you out, bro.
- [Vincent] Okay, bye. Okay.
- In the name of Jesus, Father God,
I ask that you continue to cover my family,
Olivia, Logan, and my unborn grand baby.
(door thuds)
(gentle foreboding music)
- You were up late.
- Good morning to you too, sunshine.
- Do you always do that?
- Do what exactly?
- Roam around the house at three o'clock in the morning
going through my daughter's mail.
- You sure are in my business, aren't you?
- I just wanna make sure that my grand baby you're carrying
is getting plenty of rest.
- We both know that's not what this is about.
Olivia told me you accused me of stealing her necklace,
and I wanted to tell you
that I really don't appreciate that accusation.
This necklace was given to me by someone very special.
- [Christy] I'm sure it was.
- Do you have a problem with me, Ms. Christy?
- As a matter of fact, I do.
You're sneaky, I don't trust you around my daughter.
And if it were up to me,
you wouldn't be staying in this house.
- You know, I was actually just gonna tell you,
I feel so sorry for you.
Olivia was telling me a little bit
about your late husband, Harold.
- What does that have to do with anything?
- Well, I just can't imagine how you must have felt,
devastated, probably, when he just cheated on you
over and over and over with all those much more beautiful,
much younger women.
It's heartbreaking.
But then again,
you really only have yourself to blame, don't you?
You really let yourself go.
Wrinkles, little boy haircut,
didn't give him much to look at.
- Hey, everything okay?
- Great. - We're good, sweetie.
- Okay, Ma, you wanna have a breakfast?
- I'll be right there.
This isn't over.
- Might wanna get those extra steps in.
- Excuse me? Do you know if they closed early today?
- Apparently somebody was killed out back yesterday,
one of the workers or something.
I think they closed because of it.
- Do you know who? - Alexis McCann.
- Thanks. - Yeah.
- [Monographer] I think we have something.
Any guesses?
- A boy?
- It's a boy. - It is?
Oh my god.
- I knew it.
- I love you. - I love you.
Boy.
- Okay, I got extra balloons in the car
and I grabbed a few extra things
and we can set up.
Oh my God, you guys, this looks great.
You guys did a good job.
- Who knew?
All those times we were decorating for sorority parties,
they would come in handy
- Decorator, surrogate, thief.
What else did you used to be?
- Mom.
Morgan, I'm sorry about that.
- Doesn't bother me.
- Okay, that's it.
The two of you, come on, move in.
Come on.
Okay, look, I know the two of you
haven't been seeing eye to eye,
but I really need for all of us to get on the same page.
Mom, she's doing me a really big favor by having this baby.
Okay, so I need you to jump on board
and get in sync with us.
And Morgan, this is my mother.
She's just as nervous about this baby as any of us.
So I need you to show her that same respect as well.
Like it or not, we're family right now.
So can we act like it, please?
- I apologize for the other day.
I think this pregnancy has made me a bit irritable.
- I apologize also.
Not sure for what, but I'm sorry too.
- Okay, good enough.
So from here on out, this is squashed.
Let's enjoy this baby shower.
- Sounds good. - Good.
(lively upbeat music)
- I had her when I was two.
- Yeah, it's very surreal.
- This actually turned out nice.
- Right? You know, Morgan was behind all of this.
She's been such an angel.
- Attention, everybody.
Can I get everybody's attention, please?
So we want to say a special thank you
to each and every one of you
for coming to experience this special moment with us.
And second, to Morgan
for bringing our dream of becoming parents
to a great reality.
So we like to do a non-alcoholic toast
to new beginnings and new life.
- [All] Cheers.
(body thuds) - Mom. God. Mom.
(gentle poignant music)
No, no, no, no, no.
Please, please, no.
Mom, no. - Come here.
No. (blubbers)
- Hey babe.
Look, I'm sorry all this is happening.
Look, you don't have to do this, I can--
- I got it, I got it.
Logan, can I please just have some space, please?
- All right.
(gentle suspenseful music)
- DPD, we'd like to have a word with you.
Can you come out?
- Sure.
- Is everything okay? What's this about?
- [Officer] First, condolences
in regards to the passing of your mother.
- Thank you.
- There were a few things on your mother's toxicology report
that raised some red flags.
- We found small amounts of ethylene glycol
inside of your mother's bloodstream.
- Ethylene glycol? - It's a poison.
- This would've been taken the night before her death.
- I'm sorry, I'm confused.
My mother was at our baby shower all day
and the doctor says she died of a heart attack.
Now you're saying she was poisoned?
- We have reasonable suspicions that there was foul play
regarding the death of your mother.
Therefore, we're going to be opening an investigation.
We're gonna need the names
of every single person on the list that was at that party.
- Sure, no problem.
- And if you have any additional information,
please don't hesitate to contact us.
- Okay.
- [Officer] You have a good day.
(bright apprehensive music)
- Hey.
Can I show you something?
- Yeah.
Oh my God, Morgan, this is beautiful.
Thank you.
- This isn't even the best part.
That way he'll always be close to his little brother.
- I don't even know what to say, Morgan.
Thank you. I can never repay you for this.
- [Morgan] Don't even worry about it.
- So what'd they say?
- They're saying she had poison in her body when she died.
- What? How do you think that happened?
- I don't know. I mean, my mother was so healthy.
This does not make any sense to me.
- Didn't you say that her and Morgan got into it?
- Yeah, so?
Are you serious?
Logan, stop it.
- Look, I'm just sitting. - Stop it.
Our pregnant surrogate murdered my mother?
- I'm just saying we should keep an eye on her
'cause honestly, I think you're the only one
that's being not even-- - Okay, that's enough.
We're not having this conversation, I'm done.
- Whatever.
- Can you tell her to turn the music down?
- Yeah.

- Morning. - Hmm, morning.
- Did you enjoy the view last night?
- What?
- I said, did you enjoy the view last night?
Saw you staring outside my room, so I thought I'd ask.
I wanted you to know
I did not consent to you watching me like that.
You really should watch where you lay your eyes, Logan.
- Yeah, I was outside of your room.
I came because Olivia wanted me to come tell you
to turn your music down.
I saw that you were changing and I walked away.
- You were there an awful long time
for that to be the only reason.
- I'm sorry, but I didn't mean any harm by it, honestly.
And I would greatly appreciate it
if we could keep that between us.
- Sure. I love secrets.
I think they do a great job
of bringing people closer together, don't you think?
- How you feeling?
- I think more nervous than anything else.
- Well, you're doing great.
- Thanks.
- Logan mentioned to me that you sent the picture
that you took with Vincent to his wife?
- Oh yeah, I was gonna tell you about that.
After he left, he came onto me in my DMs.
- Really? Wow.
I mean, I guess I'm not that surprised.
He did cheat on his wife,
but I thought he changed.
- I guess he didn't change that much.
Hey, I wanted to talk to you about something.
There's no good way to say this.
I was getting ready for bed last night
and I swear I heard a camera shutter go off.
I turned around and my door was cracked,
so I was wondering if you could see if,
maybe on Logan's computer or phone--
- Logan?
Honestly, I just think this is a misunderstanding.
He would never do anything like that,
but I'll definitely check.
- Okay, yeah, I'm sure it's nothing.
I just don't want pictures of me like that
floating around, you know?
- Of course.
Well, I'll let you get changed.
- [Morgan] All right, thanks.
- Hey babe.
- Have a seat.
- What's going on?
- I don't know, you tell me.
- You can't be serious. - I'm very serious.
- I didn't take that.
- Then who did?
- She's probably trying to set me up or something.
I told you she'd been playing mind games the entire time.
- Morgan.
- Oh, you really-- - Shh.
- How did you-- - I don't wanna hear it.
- What's going on?
Why do you have that?
- Why did you put that on my computer?
- I did not-- - You did.
She's lying.
- Olivia, this is what I was trying to avoid.
- I don't give a damn. This is my husband.
I need to know what the fuck is going on in my house.
- Cut the bullshit and just tell her the truth.
- I am telling her the truth, I don't understand.
This is not my fault.
- Can you not?
She's lying. - I have proof it was him.
- What proof?
- Oh, she has proof.
- Olivia is your wife.
You should be ashamed of yourself
for taking naked pictures of me.
- I'm sorry, but I didn't mean any harm, honestly.
And I would greatly appreciate it if we could
keep that between us.
- See, that's edited. Play the entire video.
- That's the rest of it.
I had to record 'cause you're never be too sure.
- Babe, she's lying.
- I'm not lying.
- You know what? I don't even care.
Get your shit, you need to leave.
- Well, I'm not leaving you--
- I said leave, Logan.
- Can I come in? - Sure.
I'm sorry about earlier.
I still can't wrap my finger around why Logan
would even do something like this.
- I'm just as surprise as you are.
- I know it's been a lot.
And I'm sorry being here has made you feel uncomfortable.
- Oh, you don't need to be sorry.
I just want you to know that I'm here to support you.
I always have and I always will be.
- You and Ness are all I have right now.
- Hey, we're all you need.
(dramatic poignant music)
Has he tried calling?
- Every day almost.
It's crazy it's been months now.
- Where is he staying?
- With his brother.
- Good. Glad he's out of here.
You deserves so much better.
- Yeah.
It's just, I feel bad, you know?
I didn't even give him a chance to explain himself.
And even though he did what he did,
he still is soon to be father,
he is still my husband
and I still love him.
- Yes, and you need to learn how to love yourself first.
I mean, come on,
is that really the kind of man you wanna call your husband?
- You're right. - I know I am.
- Is that my skirt?
- Oh, you don't mind, do you?
- Mm.
- This baby wanted broccoli.
(gentle dramatic music)
- Olivia, I think I'm having the baby.
- [Nurse] Breathe. Push.
(Morgan screams)
Okay. Let me know when you feel a contraction.
- [Nurse] Try to relax.
- She's having the baby. Yes, now.
I need you to get here, please.
- [Nurse] One, two, three.
(Morgan screams)
I see the crown. I need one more push.
You got this.
On three.
- [Group] One, two, three.
(Morgan screams)
- [Nurse] Good job. Good job.
Good job.
- Let me see the baby.
Oh, let me hold my baby.
- It's okay. - Relax.
- Give me back my baby.
Give me back my baby.
Give me back.
- I told you. I told you she was crazy--
- Okay, I'm sorry.
What are we gonna do?
- We need to keep her as far away from the baby as possible.
- Okay.
- Hi Morgan. I'm Patricia.
I'm a social worker here at Grace Hospital.
I know today has been extremely hard for you,
which is why I wanted to talk about
the legalities of the situation.
Olivia and Logan are the intended parents of the child.
Therefore, our nurses had no choice
but to remove him at the request of his mother.
- I carried that baby for nine months,
I pushed that baby out of my body.
They didn't let me hold him.
They can't keep taking things from me.
- [Patricia] I'm sorry. Truly I am.
And I know it has had to be an extremely hard time,
but you're not that baby's parent.
That baby has parents.
- Hi baby. Hi, hi.
Yeah, you hungry?
You just so cute.
(gentle serene music)
Elijah, you're just so cute.
- Nice. - You good.
- Cool, man. - All right, bro.
- Thank you, man. - All right, no problem.
- He hasn't fussed in a minute.
- Yeah, he's asleep.
- I'm gonna go check on him.
- Alright.
- Shh, it's okay, it's okay.
Mommy's here.
(Morgan smacks) (body thuds)
- Good morning.
Bet you thought you were never gonna see me again.
You know, it should be common decency
that after you carry someone's baby for nine months,
you'll let them hold that.
And I guess you always have been
a selfish bitch, haven't you?
- Morgan, why you doing that?
- I'd love to tell you, Liv, really,
I do think that he should be the one to break the news.
Wake the fuck up.
You ready to tell your little wifey what you did?
- Fucking hate you bitch.
What the fuck is wrong with you?
She didn't do shit, leave her the fuck alone.
(Logan grunts)
- You be better.
- Stop, stop. - No, I won't.
'Cause I gotta tell you, maybe I can jog your memory instead
since clearly he's inept.
Remember your birthday sophomore year, December 12th?
I offered to be your designated driver
like the really good friend that I am.
You got really drunk. What happened then?
- You drove him home.
- Yeah.
And then he fucked me.
- You're lying. - Am I lying, Logan?
You wish I was lying.
I'm not lying. (chuckles)
It's not even the best fucking part.
And since you are a little bitch
who can't tell the truth on his own fucking volition,
oh you, shut the fuck up
or I'm gonna blow your fucking brain out right now.
Okay, good. Tell your wife what you did.
Yeah? Yeah, you are.
What happened, Logan?
Tell her what happened.
- She got pregnant.
- [Morgan] Oh, I'm sorry.
Louder. - She got pregnant.
- You might be wondering, where's the baby?
Where's the baby, Logan?
- I made you get an abortion, bitch.
- Ah, yeah you fucking did.
So every time you look at your baby,
just know your fucking husband already murdered one.
- Logan, no.
- [Morgan] How does that feel?
- [Olivia] Logan, no.
Logan, you didn't do that.
- Look, I'm sorry. - He did. (laughs)
- I'm sorry. - Oh, no, no, no, no, no.
You're sorry, but not sorry enough.
He took the choice from me
so I'm gonna take a choice for fucking him.
- No, no, no, no, no, stop, stop.
Morgan, don't. Morgan.
(gunshot bangs)
(door knocking)
- It feels so bad, doesn't it?
That's how I felt when he killed my fucking baby.
I couldn't eat, I couldn't sleep, I couldn't stay awake.
I didn't wanna be here at all.
The only thing I had was a mandatory community group
to make sure I was adjusting loss of life without my baby.
I'm sure you can imagine.
I wasn't adjusting very well.
He had his mantra and he kept teaching us.
In order to reclaim our power,
we have to take back what's ours.
So that's what I did.
You see the two of us,
we're not actually that different,
are we, Liv Liv?
No, we both lost things we really love.
I'm here to tell you,
the pain doesn't get better.
It just stays right here, like a deep empty hole.
And so I thought, I'll do you the kindness
putting you outta your misery,
like I wish somebody did to me. (screams)
- Are you okay? - Thank God.
- What the fuck is going on?
- She's fucking crazy.
- What the fuck happened?
- [Olivia] She killed Logan.
- Fucking shoot her.
- She won't do it.
Go ahead, bitch, kill me.
I've already ruined your life.
- Don't fucking listen to her.
Listen to me, shoot her now.
- Logan's dead. Elijah's dead.
And guess what? I killed your mom too.
(gunshot bangs)
(police siren wailing)
- Ms. Johnson, we'd like to give our sincere condolences.
- Thank you.
- However, given the circumstances,
we still need you to come in for some questioning,
the standard procedure.
- I can answer whatever questions you need.
- Thank you.
Also, we found this at the crime scene.
Just wondering, does it belong to you?
- Yes, it does.
(gentle spirited music)
(dark foreboding music)
(dark foreboding music continues)
(slow wistful music)
