Previously on "Daytime Divas... "
Nina Sandoval is expecting a baby with not her husband.
You and Nina put my show in jeopardy.
You're such a bitch.
You knew and you didn't tell me?
- Because Shawn confided in me. - You betrayed me, William.
You didn't do anything wrong.
Just lied to Maxine about how great I'm doing when in reality
I was drunk and high while she was in the hospital.
- What's going on? - I can't pretend anymore.
If Nina can lie to her husband about her baby
what else could she be lying about?
My mother hired you because of your Pulitzer.
Now you're telling me that it belongs
to some dead guy whose article you stole.
Can't you just leave it alone?
What do you think Maxine was doing for those 45 minutes?
- Killing her husband. - What else do you have?
Good morning, Ms. Robinson.
- Let me get the door... - I got it.
You gotta push instead of pull.
Maxine, look, I know you're still mad at me
but can we talk this out?
We have nothing to discuss.
Good morning, Ms. Banks.
Look, I'm sorry for losing my cool the other night.
And I'm sorry for thinking I could ever trust you.
Damn, you're cold.
And after all we've been through...
Hey.
Hi.
I didn't think you were coming.
Well, of course. It's our baby.
- Are we okay? - Hey, Nina, I... I love you.
I want, I want us to get past all this.
Me too.
Nina Sandoval?
I think that Brad and I realized that we needed couple's therapy
to help remind us how much we love each other.
We're hoping that this makes our relationship stronger.
That's great, but it would be more
helpful if your husband joined us.
Oh, well, I think that he'll be here any minute.
Why would I throw a party?
Because you have a year's sobriety.
It's huge. You have to mark it.
Meh, I'll probably just snort a couple lines
off a hooker's ass and call it a night.
Celebrate. Do you know
how many people don't even make it to a year?
I don't know. I mean, invite a bunch of people over
to drink Kool-Aid and eat cookies?
It sounds lame. Nobody would come.
How do you know if you don't ask?
- We'd love to come! - Can't wait.
Really, I thought you might think a sober party is stupid?
- Well, you're wrong. - No, we'll be there.
Yay!
- We're so not gonna go. - No way.
Yes, you are. We all are.
Even I'm going.
Meet our new guest co-host.
That's right, Cecile James.
I recognize you from the cover of "What Alpha Women Want".
And I recognize you from the cover of "The Post".
May I just say you've handled your scandal
like a true alpha woman.
You give zero Fs.
Well, thank you. Are you sucking up?
Of course, "The Lunch Hour's" a great gig and I wanna stay.
So far, so good. Uh, but I have to be honest.
I didn't get a chance to read your book yet.
In all my years reporting the news
I've interviewed presidents, princes, and pop stars
but there are other voices that I wanted to be heard.
So a decade ago, I created a show
where women could sit down and say what's on their minds.
And, boy, do they ever?
We have a real slice of America pie
who puts faith and family first.
A Pulitzer Prize winning journalist
with a passion for justice.
A child star who is all grown up.
Her POV is OMG.
And featuring special guest host, Cecile James
and me, Maxine Robinson.
I'm in the left chair every day at noon
on "The Lunch Hour"
where no topic is taboo.
I'm just gonna say I loved it.
Seriously, I could not put it down.
But why don't you tell us about the book?
"What Do Alpha Women Really Want?"
Well, what everybody wants.
Sex and relationships, but it's not that easy
for a successful, strong woman to find it.
I'm not having any problems.
She means long-lasting relationships not booty calls.
I conducted a comprehensive study
and the truth is, women are more educated
than they ever have been.
And in 33% of homes in this country
they're out-earning their partners.
- Chic. - Not totally.
A Lotta alpha women have difficulty dating
because they feel like men can't handle their power.
Oh, I think there are a few special men out there who can.
Well, they better learn to,
because as powerful women become the norm,
men will have no choice but to evolve.
Well, I'm certainly not an alpha.
You can read all about that in my book, "The Fulfilled Wife"
available on Amazon.
Uh, hon, you are the definition of an alpha.
In fact, you all are.
And, Maxine, you're the most alpha woman out there.
That's why I, um, I wrote about you in my book.
You did?
You did, yeah.
I... it's beyond flattering.
You are successful, powerful, and gorgeous
and I bet you think there's no one out there for you.
But, in fact, there is and I have someone in mind.
Ooh.
Since when did this become a dating show?
Look, I normally don't set people up
but, um, this guy is perfect for you.
Cecile has the hook-up.
Do it! Do it!
Alright, I'm in.
Maxine, trust.
He is brilliant, handsome, and a titan of industry.
Well, I haven't met a man like that in a long time.
Hang tight during the commercial break.
Our hosts will be back in just a few moments.
Ooh, Maxine has a boyfriend.
I am going on one date.
We'll discuss it briefly on air
and then put it to bed, understood?
Nina, grab Shawn and meet me in my office, please.
Ooh, Shawn and Nina are in trouble.
Kibby, being a child star really stunted your development.
So don't you have something you wanna tell me?
Uh, we've already told you everything, Maxine.
I'm talking about your doctor's appointment.
Didn't you get a sonogram?
Yes, of course.
I had no idea you were so into being a grandma.
Oh, I'm not a grandmother.
I'm a, uh, a second mother figure.
Ah, look, it looks like a little peanut.
I love it.
You know, there's an apartment opening up in my building
I could look into making an offer if you two are interested.
That way, we could be closer when the baby comes.
- Maxine, that is so... - Not necessary, really.
We are fine...
Just a thought, Shawn. Suit yourself.
Excuse me, but did I just hear you turn down a free apartment?
Please, nothing's free with my mom.
First off, she's cheap.
She'd totally charge us a finder's fee.
Okay, but we have to start looking.
You have a tiny one bedroom and I'm living in a hotel.
Yeah, yeah, we, um, we should start looking.
Okay.
Why are you acting so weird?
I thought you wanted to get past this.
I'm trying
but it doesn't happen overnight.
Well, I miss us.
Text me when you're ready I guess.
It's called couple's counseling, Brad
which means we both have to be there.
So if you're interested at all in saving our marriage
call me back!
- Was I too mean? - Not at all.
I would've gone harder.
Please, don't tell anybody about this.
Nobody knows that Brad and I are having issues.
Of course. Listen, but there's no shame.
Everyone's marriage has problems.
Well, mine's not supposed to.
Oh, guys, you'll be at my party, right?
Yes, I'd love to come.
- Yeah, I can make it work. - Cool.
And everyone's wearin' black.
Ooh, a theme.
Why do you embarrass yourself, Ramona?
- Oh, no. - Come on, huh? Get to work.
You gotta, you gotta just do it. Be, be not you.
Come in.
Hey, I'm figuring out the app situation
for my party. Any request?
No, it's your party. You pick it.
By the way, Kibby, I am so proud of you.
Uh, one year sober is quite a milestone.
Yeah, uh, thanks.
By the way, I am very proud of you too.
- For what? - For going on a date.
Are you sexcited?
Hardly.
I can't believe you haven't dated anyone in, like, ten years.
Who says I haven't dated?
Oh, my God, I knew it.
- Who was it? You can tell me. - Oh, just a guy.
We, we dated for quite some time
but we needed to take some time off.
- Was it somebody famous? - No, definitely not.
Oh, my God, it was. That's why you won't say anything.
- Who was it? Denzel? - I wish.
- Sean Connery? - Ah, he's almost 90 years old.
God, Kibby, how old do you think I am?
Uh, on second thought d... don't answer that.
Just go home.
- Lenny Kravitz? - Ugh. Leave.
Okay, okay, just promise me
you'll keep an open mind on the date, okay?
I will.
This won't be long. Just the cocktail menu.
No food.
Maxine?
Uh, yes. You're Ben?
It's a pleasure to meet you.
- May I? - Yes.
Can I get you two started with a drink?
- Gin martini. - Gin martini.
- Dirty? - Filthy.
- Hendricks'? - Of course.
Cecile tells me you're a real-estate developer.
Yes, you've heard of Williamsburg?
That was you?
I was the first person to overcharge hipsters to live in the ghetto.
Well, I'm surprised you actually have time to meet
being so busy gentrifying the city.
If it's not one thing, it's another. Constant meetings...
Ah. I think I've spent half my adult life in meetings.
Full of people with more opinions than solutions.
Well, good people have strong opinions.
So annoying.
Um, can you bring us the menus?
I don't know about you, but I am famished.
Have a good date?
Excuse me?
Oh, I've been watching "The Lunch Hour".
Pretty entertaining stuff.
I find it particularly interesting
how you decided to broadcast your love life.
Well, you better keep watching then
because there's gonna be a second date.
So I wanna get all these prescription pill bottles
and fill them with little white M&M's.
Oh, and for my outfit, I'm thinking
I'll wear my Alder shirt.
You are my strangest client.
Well, if you're gonna do this, I wanna have some fun with it.
I hate when people get sober and become boring.
Oh, you will never be boring, trust me.
Hey, I, um, I wanted to give you something.
It's my...
... my one-year sober chip.
I know how hard you worked
and I wanted to let you know that I'm proud of you.
I... I can't take this.
Yeah, you can.
I want you to have it.
Uh, well, I gotta get in hair and makeup.
So, uh, I'll see you tonight?
Yes, I would not miss a sober party.
I even came up with some funny names for the mocktails.
Ugh, can't wait for that.
So I got a call from Ben
who said the date went very, very well.
No way. Like, hooked up well?
Like, second date well?
Went well, didn't hook up.
- Going on a second date. - And then you'll hook up?
Can we start with bringing him to your party first?
- Yes, of course. - Okay.
Aw, Maxine's all grown up and finding love.
- I love love. - I love sex.
- Hmm. - So sorry about Brad.
Brad? What, what are you talking about?
Did he get into a car wreck?
Uh, I think he crashed into a hot piece of ass.
I guess that's why he didn't show up to couple's counseling.
Oh, I'm so sorry, Heather.
I can't believe Brad would do that to you.
Why didn't you tell us you guys were having problems?
Because I thought we were working things out.
I mean, look at her. She... she's not even pretty.
She's just young. I mean, anybody can be young.
Heather, do not fall into an Internet K-Hole with this girl.
Kibby's right, walk away.
God, I bet he takes her to Sushisamba
and they get the Tokyo boat and they do sake bombs
and then she laughs at his jokes which are so stupid by the way.
Heather, sorry, I need your phone. We're about to...
Ramona, can't you see that I'm in the middle of a crisis?
Heather, do you wanna discuss this Brad situation on air?
- It's your call. - No.
Understood. Well, then get it together.
We have a show to do.
And here they are. Kibby...
- Heather, if you don't mind... - What? Fine.
...and Maxine back to series
live from our studios in New York.
I mean, she looks like the loose type.
She probably gives him blowjobs.
Well, duh.
Is that, like, an usual thing in your world?
I don't know. Maybe.
It's between me and God, Kibby.
Hello, everyone and welcome.
We have quite a show for you today.
Cecile James will be answering
all of your relationship questions.
Mm-hmm, that's right, and nothing is off limits.
We are gonna go there today, honey.
But, uh, first, Maxine, how was your date?
Uh, it was great, and, um
that's all I'm gonna say for now.
But let's get back to the show.
Heather, why don't we start with you?
Can you give us the first viewer question?
Okay. Uh, Lara Marie asks...
"How do I get over someone I still love?"
Well, the only real fix is time
so go easy on yourself.
If you wanna ugly cry in a CVS, do it.
If you wanna watch trashy Rom-coms, feel free.
And, hey, if you wanna make some sexy mistakes, why not?
Great advice.
Although I have to admit, people that cry in CVS scare me.
Uh, Kibby, you're next.
Okay, Willie Mae asks, um...
"Help, I think I'm developing feelings for this guy
but he's literally the opposite of my type."
- Is it worth exploring? - Of course.
Never turn down an opportunity for love
just because it comes in a different package.
I have a question.
I... I mean, it's, uh... Tracy P... Tracy P. does.
"Can you overcome trust issues in a relationship?"
Hmm, honestly, no.
Really? It's that black and white?
Well, look, there are always exceptions
but in my experience, when the trust is broken
it's hard to get that back.
Brad, I'm so glad that I saw
that picture of you and that tramp.
Ugh, I'm sorry, Trish.
Trish, uh, she's lovely, Brad.
Really, just so pretty.
I was worried that you hadn't moved on like I have.
In fact, I am on my way right now to a party with my date.
Oh, we met at a mixer for christianmingle.com and, uh...
Boy, did we mingle.
We mingled pretty hard.
So, uh, yeah. He's a pediatric cardiologist
which means he is a doctor who fixes children's hearts.
Very important.
Oh, so she's a model.
That's great. That's really great.
You know, I'm just, I'm just so
I'm just so glad that you and I have both moved on
and we're dating professionals, so...
Anyway, I gotta go. Talk to you later. Bye.
Do you have a corkscrew?
Oh, never mind. It's a, it's a twist off.
Good evening, William.
I won't need your help with the door tonight.
Shawn's the one you're mad at, not me.
You wanna know the reason why he didn't tell you about Nina?
No.
He didn't think that you'd understand.
He doesn't think that you get things
like love and relationships.
Are you finished? 'Cause I'm late for a party.
Can't you just say you're wrong?
Or are you too stubborn to admit it?
_
Go, have fun.
We have tons of food coming and it's a dry party
but check out the mocktail bar upstairs.
We're featuring safe sex on the beach
and cosnopolitans.
Great job coming up with all those
mocktail names by the way.
Who knew you could make jokes.
Mostly puns. Don't get too excited.
Julian, are you, like, secretly a cool person
who's just pretending to be a huge drag?
No, I really am no fun.
In fact, my friends don't like to take me anywhere
because they say I just bum everyone out.
Oh, yeah, I hate to tell you this
but it's totally true.
Oh, I know, now, if you'll excuse me
I think I hear some people having fun upstairs
and I better go ruin it.
Oh, no.
Who's ready to get turned up?
It's turnt, Ramona.
Yay, you made it. Thank you so much.
Oh, we were just so honored to be included.
Yeah, about that, I thought everybody was wearing black.
They are.
Are you guys cool with a check?
I didn't have time to go by the ATM.
- Have fun. - Ah, hello, Kibby!
I brought you some wine.
Here's some red and white and a box.
Don't look at me like that. Box wine is in.
Wine? Perfect.
Should I relapse now or after the appetizers?
Oh, my gosh. I am so sorry.
This whole Brad thing has me completely upside down.
But regular people can drink, right?
- Knock yourself out. - Thank you.
Heather, I just wanna say I'm so sorry about Brad.
I've been cheated on more times that I can count
and I know how much it hurts.
Oh, no, it's fine.
I real... I don't even need to talk about it.
Oh, my gosh. That smells amazing.
Wait, are you serving sliders and sushi?
And is that charcuterie?
I... I don't understand any of this.
- What's your theme? - Foods that I like.
I can't drink, so I might as well eat, right?
Alright, alright, don't panic, I think I can figure out
a way to curate this that makes sense.
Nobody cares. It's food.
And it's free. Just let them eat.
Okay, put those sliders back in the kitchen
and bring out the sushi.
We are gonna go east to west.
We're gonna be fine.
Uh, young man, excuse me, hi.
Could you, please serve me a glass of the red?
Please pour it through an aerator and keep your fingers
off of the bowl, stem only.
I like my red at a cool 62 degrees.
Okay, everybody, gather around. This is what we are going to do.
Everything is gonna be fine, we're going east to west
which means you're starting with the sushi...
Oh, my God, wait. What... what is going on there? That...
Can you please put a little effort into garnishing?
You know, Maxine, I have something embarrassing
to admit in front of your friends.
Uh-oh.
I had a huge crush on you
back in your newscaster days.
"And this has been Maxine Robinson for NEB News.
May all your news be good news."
Well, a little kitschy, but I'm flattered that you remember.
Wow, Maxine Robinson laughing
and not at someone else's expense.
- Dragon roll. - More sushi?
I'm pregnant. I can't eat sushi.
I thought I saw sliders.
Heather vetoed those.
And she says she's not an alpha.
I'll go see if I can snag you something.
And I think I need another fauxjito
- May I get you something? - No, I'm good. Thank you.
Okay. Excuse me, ladies.
- So how are you? - Starving.
Probably approaching hangry.
- Where's Shawn? - Ah, you know, I don't know.
I think he's on his way.
You didn't come together?
No.
Can you excuse me?
I, I think I see some mini geishas.
Excuse me.
Hi.
Hey, do you have a second?
- Uh, sure. - Okay.
Go ahead.
So that question I asked on air
that wasn't from Willie Mae, that was, that was me.
Yeah, I'd kinda thought maybe, but I wasn't sure.
Well, I am an actress, so...
Anyway, I think I like this guy.
He's so nice and he always shows up for you when you need him
which TBH, I'm not used to.
Kibby, go for it.
If this guy is as nice as you say
you might be the one that has to make the first move.
Okay. I will.
I mean, why not, right?
Oh, no, it's that guy from that thing I did last year.
Crap. What's his name?
Uh, God, I hate independent movies.
- Hey! Oh, my gosh! - How are you?
How are you? Hi. Kibby. Nice to meet you.
No, no, bevel the napkins. Bevel!
You mean like this?
Leon, you know how to bevel.
Yes, I do.
Hey, by the way, this is really messed up.
- Who's your friend? - Uh, Lisette.
We rehabbed together. She was in there for sex addiction.
Well, consider us even then. Come on, take it.
What do you think, Ramona? Is she prettier than me?
- Well... - Oh, thank you.
You're right, she's just shinier
with her big fake boobs and her BJs.
I guess.
Oh. Hi.
Hey, having fun or...
Yeah, yeah. It's fun, it's fun. You?
- I'm alright. - Good.
I'm gonna go find some food
that's not gonna poison a pregnant woman.
Uh, I... I'm, I'm fine, thank you.
- Oh, no. I wasn't asking. - Oh, I'm sorry.
- I thought you were asking... - No! No, no. It's okay.
I'm just gonna...
Do you want me to get you something?
No. I think I'm...
- No, you should go. - Okay. Good.
Good evening. Detective Stagliano, NYPD.
Hello. What can I help you with?
If you don't mind, I was wondering if I could ask you
a few questions about a former resident, Ted Windsor?
Ted Windsor?
Maxine Robinson's deceased husband.
I understand you were on duty the night he died?
Man, I don't know if I can remember that far back.
Yeah, fair enough.
Uh, maybe you could, uh, answer
a few questions about Ted and Maxine.
What was their relationship like?
- Did they ever fight? - I'm just a doorman.
I judge people based on their Christmas bonuses.
Ted and Maxine, let's just say there were always top-notch.
Yeah.
Okay.
Well, if your, uh, if your memory improves
you give me a call, alright?
Will do.
Wow, I've never been to a sobriety party before.
Ah, well, Kibby always has a unique spin on things.
- Obviously. - That's what I love about her.
She, she gets knocked down
but she finds a way to get up swinging.
Oh. Excuse me.
- _ - Please, get it.
Uh...
It's... it's not important.
I'd rather focus on you.
You know this is a sobriety party, right?
Yes. I'm sorry.
I just had a really bad day.
Yeah, I heard. I guess you're entitled.
Can I ask you something?
- Are all men jerks? - Not all of us.
But no offense, your husband
is definitely at the top of the list.
Oh, and just so you know
Heather, I think that you could do so much better.
I'm just, I'm just sayin'.
Oh, my God. Ramona. Did you just hear that?
- No. - Right?
He was totally flirting with me.
I thought so too!
Oh, hey.
So, uh, you know that reader question that I asked you...
- It was you. - It's just...
You are right, the trust is broken
and I don't think we can get past it.
It's tough, but if you're both tryin'
that means the love is still there.
Maybe forget about getting past it
and go back to what connected you guys in the first place.
Cheating.
Yeah. I think I know what you mean.
Thanks.
Hey, um, I was here. Do you mind if I...
- Oh, no cuts, sorry. - Really?
Unfortunately, yeah.
Whoo, slow down. That's your third screwless driver.
That is not something a son hears from his mom every day.
You know, I've been told that I'm not an expert
in relationships, but even I can tell
something's wrong between you and Nina.
Well, since when did you become president of the Nina fan club?
I'm not.
But you know who I am a fan of? My grandchild.
No matter what's going on between you and Nina
you two are now connected for the rest of your lives.
You are right.
That's not something a mother hears from her son every day.
Cecile, hi. Are you having a good time?
- What's your question, Heather? - So...
I was thinking, is it ever too soon
to make one of your sexy mistakes?
I mean, I was just thinking about that poor soul
- that we talked about on the show today... - Uh-huh.
Go for it. But right now, I really need to pee.
- Hey! - Excuse me.
Unh-unh. Not happening. It's my [bleep] turn.
Would you look at that view over...
Right. Yeah, right, I want the comps
title report, and income statements in my inbox
first thing tomorrow.
Yeah.
I'm sorry. My assistant.
You have your assistant working this late?
- Are you judgin' me? - Hardly.
- That one is mine. - Oh.
- I gotta get this. Hang on. - Uh, fine.
Yeah.
Man, someone is demolishing those sliders.
It's the only addiction I have that won't make my teeth
fall out of my head, so...
Um, I wanted to talk to you about something and...
Can I borrow him for a second?
I desperately need your help downstairs.
Oh, okay.
- So how are you, young lady? - Uh, good.
When are you gonna make your speech?
What? No way.
Sorry, nothing demands a long-winded rambling
overemotional speech more than one year of sobriety.
Oh, oh. Thank you.
Oh, no, I, it's... I can't.
I can't eat cheese. Thanks.
- Hi. - Thought you might want these.
- They smell so good. - Oh, thank God.
Uh, you're gonna wanna turn around.
This is not gonna be pretty.
Yeah, it's cool. I've definitely seen you eat before.
Right.
Do you remember that time that I ordered fried garlic
for an appetizer, how shocked you were?
Remember how shocked I was during our first kiss?
It was like you wanted to make sure I wasn't a vampire.
Shut up. When it's fried, it's not supposed to be smelly.
If you say so.
Oh, there's the power couple.
- Hey, Ben. - Hi, Ben.
Nina, I'm meant to tell you.
That piece you did on sex trafficking
was enlightening and terrifying.
No surprise you have a Pulitzer.
Thank you.
I'm just happy I was able to tell the story.
Oh, you opened a lot of eyes.
I'm glad.
- That was my intent, really. - Did a good job.
I'll let you guys get back to it.
- That came easy? - What was I supposed to say?
Well, I just think it's interesting
that you talk about it like you actually wrote it?
Okay, so what?
Would you rather the story never got out?
Did you hear him?
That piece opened up a lot of eyes.
I mean, doesn't that mean something?
Just say what you wanna say, Shawn.
You don't want me to.
Did you get everyone from downstairs?
- I think so. They're... - Thank you.
You can do this.
Hi. Hi, everyone.
- Hi. - Can everyone hear me?
I, I just wanted to say it really means a lot to me
to have all of you guys here tonight supporting me
in my sobriety.
Especially Maxine
and, uh, all the other crazy bitches I work with.
Um, and there is one other person I need to thank.
I know I drive him nuts and I know I don't say this enough
but Julian...
Julian?
Uh, well, you... you changed my life.
And I kinda love you.
Looks like you wrestled some wine away from Heather.
At least I had the decency not to drink
in front of all the recovering alcoholics.
Or you're just hiding from me?
Yeah, I thought so.
Look, Shawn, I do want to hear what you have to say.
I'm tryin' real hard to get past all this, I am.
- I'm human. I made a mistake. - Which you failed to correct.
You know what? I have never been handed anything.
I have busted my ass for everything that I've ever...
So did my mom, but she didn't have to steal anyone's work.
Oh, wow. So there it is.
Nobody could ever compete with the great Maxine Robinson.
The two of you just sitting on your pedestal judging everybody
like you've never made a mistake before, Shawn.
Maybe I have made a mistake, Nina.
Maybe... maybe this is it.
Falling in love with a woman that doesn't even exist.
Maybe she never did.
Not really the words that you wanna hear
from the man that you love.
My world has been rocked.
But I guess you have to have a conscience
to know what that feels like.
Enjoy the rest of the party.
So do you see any serving platters up there?
- No. - What about a punch bowl?
Whose apartment do you think we're in?
There are four teddy bears up here.
- You're so funny. - Yeah.
People keep saying that to me tonight for some reason.
Mm.
We should get back upstairs.
Why?
It's so nice and quiet down here.
You can kiss me if you want to.
Um, oh, no.
Heather, I think maybe you've had
a little too much to drink tonight.
Oh, I think that you haven't had enough to drink.
I'm an alcoholic.
Oh, Julian. Don't you like me?
No, Heather, you need to stop, please.
Why? Am I not shiny enough?
Am, am I too vanilla?
It's not enough to just do the normal thing.
Oh, Heather, Jesus, come on, this is so inappropriate.
- Stop! - Yeah, it is.
Kibby, this is not what it looks like.
Oh, my God, you're like a secret whore.
Excuse me? You're calling me that word?
- How many blowies have you given? - Blowies?
Okay. Let's not get out of hand.
- It's a little late for that. - What is going on?
You are such a bitch!
Really? I thought you called me a whore.
- Make up your mind. - Oh, you're both.
I just didn't see the whore thing coming.
Thanks a lot, Maxine, for making for making us come
to this stupid party!
You made everyone come here tonight?
- Kibby. - She didn't really make us.
Oh, my God, I'm such an idiot.
Here I thought you guys actually cared about me.
- We do care. - No, no, it's fine.
I didn't even wanna do this. This is all your fault.
I shouldn't be having a year's sobriety party.
- It's all bullshit. - Kibby.
No, seriously, Maxine, you don't even know...
Kibby!
I think this party is over.
You didn't wanna be here anyway
so can you please just leave me alone?
I did not traipse up to this rooftop in these heels
to go back downstairs.
Oh... now I see why you wanted to be alone.
Really?
You're gonna throw away an entire year of sobriety
because of one bad night?
And for a box of wine?
I don't have a year sober.
I only have 31 days.
I relapsed when you were in the hospital.
In my defense, I did tell you, but...
you were in a coma.
Well...
I'm sorry I didn't listen better.
But what about this? Hm?
Are you planning on being sober tonight?
Yes.
Alright. What about tomorrow?
Is it looking good for sobriety?
I guess it's looking pretty good, yeah.
Then let's consider
whatever happened 31 days ago
a, uh, a freelapse.
Can you at least move?
Can you give me a refill?
I had a great time tonight.
Even that hour you made me wait in the car.
Well, that's the problem with sober parties.
There's no alcohol to dilute the insanity.
Are all your work events like this?
Yes. That's why we keep them to a minimum.
Oh, no. In my business, you wear a suit
and you always act professional in front of the boss.
Well, we put on false eyelashes
and sometimes, let our emotions roll.
What the hell?
Hey.
Are you out of your mind?
You taking the Westside Highway?
Go up 8th, man.
Actually the Westside Highway is quicker.
On 8th, you'll still run into theater traffic.
Oops. You're right.
You... you're not gonna tell him?
You never say you're wrong. You lose your power.
Besides...
I don't mind taking a long ride to your place.
I, I don't think so.
Seriously?
We're like two peas in a pod.
Well, that's the problem. We are too much alike.
And sometimes, I can be an asshole.
- I need to say something. - Yeah, me too.
I know I've been a nightmare this week
and I'm very sorry.
And you're correct, I am stubborn.
Thank you for saying that.
Yeah, you are stubborn. You always have been.
But I love you anyway.
I love you too.
Now I'm happy to hear that. I am.
But we have got a big problem.
Well, I'm confused.
In the audio of Ted Windsor's autopsy
you said there was petechial hemorrhaging
that suggests suffocation.
But there's no mention of it in your written report.
Ted Windsor was drunk. He hit his head, end of story.
Seems like an important piece of information to leave out.
It was a busy week.
And, besides, it was Maxine Robinson.
The poor woman didn't need more grief.
Well, she may be in for some.
Hi, Dr. Liev, I need to cancel
my and Brad's couple's counseling session
for next week.
And for every week after that.
I hope that you can fill that time with a couple
who really wants to work at saving their marriage.
Thank you.
- You wanted to see me? - Yeah. Peace offering?
Uh, I'm sorry for my, you know, meltdown last night.
I'm sure there was some other reason why Heather looked like
she was about to go deep sea diving in your crotch.
Kibby, you know there's nothing goin' on between Heather and me.
Yeah. I know. I know.
I kinda wanna talk about us.
What about?
Well, I'm starting to think
that I might, you know, have feelings...
- Yeah, me too. - Really? That's so great.
- I don't think that it is. - But if we both like...
No, it, it's wrong.
It's, it's inappropriate.
Means I'm not very good at my job and I'm not helping you.
No, it means we connected.
Kibby, listen, lines got blurred
and, and I'm sorry.
I shouldn't be your sober coach anymore...
or anything else.
Please take your seats.
"The Lunch Hour" is about to begin.
Hey, Shawn.
Can we talk about last night?
Yeah, I'm... I'm really sorry.
- I lost it. - Two minutes.
So I was up all night thinking
and the way you reacted to what Ben said really scared me.
I know, and I said I'm sorry.
No, I, I just need to ask this.
Do I need to worry about another man knowing my secret?
Are you serious?
You... you actually think I'm gonna tell someone.
Well, I just don't know where your head's at.
That's okay.
So you just automatically assume
that I'm gonna blackmail you like Andrew?
- I didn't say that. - Wow, Nina.
I thought I didn't know you, but you sure as hell don't know me.
Ladies, I need your phones. Dump them in Ramona's bucket.
You know what, forget it. I shouldn't have said anything.
You know what, actually I'm glad you said something
because you're just makin' it clearer and clearer.
Nina, we're done.
Nina, come on let's go. Time for line-up.
- You need to apologize. - No, you do.
Live on video in New York.
"The Lunch Hour".
It's unfair. I was drunk.
At my sober party.
Cecile, don't you think that Kibby should apologize to me?
Apologize, don't apologize, I really don't care.
To think I wanted a job here.
Hello and welcome to "The Lunch Hour".
Uh, apologies that we seem a little tired.
Uh, we were up late last night
celebrating Kibby's one year of sobriety.
Oh, my God, Kibby, it was the best time.
The food was delicious.
Yes, these girls sure do know how to party.
Oh, thank you.
It meant so much to me to have all you guys there.
Oh, no, thank you, 'cause it was wonderful to spend time together
outside of work as a family.
Next time on "Daytime Divas... "
Janet Mock, you're gonna be the best guest co-host ever!
There's something that I need to say.
No need. I got your number.
I'm not gonna be some weekend dad.
- I give you my word. - I'm gettin' a lawyer.
Guess who's coming to do our show?
I don't care what you have to do to get out of it
but make sure you don't come anywhere near me.
That was the last time you saw your husband alive.
There was Ted on the floor in a pool of blood.
- It wasn't your fault. - You're damn right.
And I don't feel a bit guilty.
