00:00:00Let's get started.
00:00:05All right, so are you ready to get started?
00:00:10I am honored to work with you on this merger.
00:00:13I always say a merger is like a marriage.
00:00:16It is my honor to be able to support you through your divorce.
00:00:19So if a merger is a marriage, then my first question
00:00:22before reviewing assets and balance sheets and quarterly reports is...
00:00:26Before we go over you and your wife's history, assets, and shared properties...
00:00:31Are you sure you want to get married?
00:00:33Are you sure you want to get divorced?
00:00:37All right, guys, no photos.
00:00:40Yo, come on, seriously. Come on, no photos, no photos.
00:00:42Okay, fine.
00:00:45Where's your better half?
00:00:48I am a better half.
00:00:54Hey, babe.
00:00:55Hey, babe.
00:00:57Sorry I'm late.
00:00:59You look beautiful.
00:01:02Oh, smooth.
00:01:04What kind of lotion do you use?
00:01:10Let me see your eyes.
00:01:13No photos, please. No photos.
00:01:17Oh, God.
00:01:22Mrs. Noble.
00:01:24Always a pleasure.
00:01:26Are you meeting Brett?
00:01:27Yes, but I'm surprising him.
00:01:29I'll show myself to the table.
00:01:36Gabby.
00:01:39Oh, take those.
00:01:43Two vodka sodas.
00:01:45Top shelf, of course.
00:01:47Let's see your hair together, huh?
00:01:49Should've known.
00:01:52Gwen, you weren't just my assistant, you were my best friend.
00:01:56Babe.
00:01:57Well, consider yourself fired from both positions.
00:01:59Wait, we were just having a drink.
00:02:00And Brett.
00:02:01It's not what it looks like.
00:02:02My first kiss, my first love.
00:02:05And now, I guess my first husband.
00:02:07Baby, what the...
00:02:09My hair.
00:02:10I want a divorce.
00:02:12Babe.
00:02:14Tabby, wait.
00:02:17Tabby!
00:02:23Tabby!
00:02:28Tabby!
00:02:39Dana.
00:02:45No peeking.
00:02:47Okay.
00:02:48Nope.
00:02:50Happy anniversary.
00:02:53Happy anniversary.
00:02:55Please, into the chambers.
00:03:00All right.
00:03:01So what's on the docket?
00:03:02Claims against the defendant?
00:03:03Whoa, whoa, whoa.
00:03:04I thought I was the defendant.
00:03:05No, we're both the defendants.
00:03:06Okay.
00:03:07Go ahead, what do you have?
00:03:08All right, what I got is, for the period of our seventh year of marriage,
00:03:11I bring forward the notice of things piled on chairs.
00:03:15Oh, things piled on chairs.
00:03:18Yes, things piled on chairs.
00:03:19Look, every time I want to sit in a chair, I got to take your stuff off of it.
00:03:22Shoes, jacket, hats, purse.
00:03:25Chairs are meant to be sat in.
00:03:27I would like to sit in a chair.
00:03:29All right, fine.
00:03:30Assumed.
00:03:31All right, let me have it.
00:03:32What does the respondent say?
00:03:34No cell phones at the table.
00:03:36What?
00:03:37We shouldn't have our phones at the table.
00:03:38I mean, phones should be left elsewhere.
00:03:40But not on chairs?
00:03:41Never.
00:03:42As dictated by issue A.
00:03:43Okay, assumed.
00:03:44Oh, hey, guys.
00:03:45Lucas, TJ.
00:03:46Are you two working?
00:03:47I thought it was your anniversary.
00:03:49It's our prolonged anniversary.
00:03:51Yeah, we celebrate one day for each year.
00:03:53Seven years married.
00:03:55Seven years, huh?
00:03:56Better watch out for that seven-year itch.
00:03:58Oh, don't worry, though, because we're not itchy.
00:04:00You know the seven-year itch was actually debunked?
00:04:02Yeah, recent data shows that divorce peaks at 10 to 13 years of marriage.
00:04:05Oh, well, so we've got a few more years left.
00:04:07Yeah, we're good for like three years.
00:04:09So you two are working?
00:04:10In a way.
00:04:11Yeah, and on our anniversary, we like to sit down and go over our relationship grievances
00:04:15and gratitudes and talk them through.
00:04:17I'm a lifelong bachelor, so you're the experts here.
00:04:20And enjoy this champagne.
00:04:23Well, you two have a wonderful anniversary.
00:04:25Thank you, Lucas.
00:04:26Enjoy.
00:04:27Thank you, TJ.
00:04:28Very kind.
00:04:29That was nice.
00:04:30It was so sweet.
00:04:31Okay, so, time for presents?
00:04:33Presents.
00:04:34Now, traditionally, the seven-year gift is wool.
00:04:39Oh.
00:04:40Hope you like it.
00:04:41Yes.
00:04:42Oh, Merino wool socks.
00:04:44Well, I figured, you know, you could warm your feet up before you press them up against me in bed.
00:04:47Oh, so this is really a gift to yourself?
00:04:49Sort of.
00:04:50Yeah.
00:04:51I love them.
00:04:52I'll treasure them.
00:04:53Okay.
00:04:55Okay, well, before, the seven-year gift was modernized to wool.
00:04:56Traditionally, it was copper.
00:04:58You didn't.
00:04:59Ta-da!
00:05:00Oh, babe.
00:05:01I always wanted a copper pot to make you popcorn, and this is amazing.
00:05:04Look at this.
00:05:05Oh.
00:05:06Thank you, honey.
00:05:07Of course.
00:05:08I love you so much.
00:05:10This has been the best seven years ever, you know that?
00:05:13And hopefully the best is yet to come.
00:05:17You know, speaking of best to come,
00:05:22I wanted to have a little chat with you.
00:05:27I thought no cell phones at the table.
00:05:30I'm so sorry.
00:05:31It's just...
00:05:33Okay, Uncle Paul booked me in with a new client at 8 a.m.
00:05:38Oh, excellent.
00:05:39I just got booked for 8.15.
00:05:41Yeah?
00:05:42Give me that.
00:05:43Yeah, let's get rid of those.
00:05:44Gone.
00:05:45That is absolutely perfect, babe.
00:05:48So, two forever.
00:05:52Together.
00:05:54Sustained.
00:06:08Morning, Kim.
00:06:09Morning.
00:06:10So, confusingly, your 8 a.m. is with a reality star wanting a divorce.
00:06:14Oh, that is weird.
00:06:15Um, well, I can refer her to the best family lawyers.
00:06:18You're the best family lawyer.
00:06:20Uncle Paul.
00:06:21And that reality star is Tabby Noble.
00:06:24She's on the board of Jackie's Legacy Fund,
00:06:26and she is bankrolling our fundraiser gala next month.
00:06:30Oh, so you want to keep her happy.
00:06:32Yes.
00:06:33But also, I know how complicated and public a divorce like hers will be,
00:06:37and I want to help protect her if possible.
00:06:40With you as Tabby's lawyer, this can be quick, easy, a painless mediation.
00:06:44Those are famous last words.
00:06:46All right.
00:06:49Of course.
00:06:56Hi.
00:06:57Oh, I love your shoes.
00:06:59Manila?
00:07:00Oh, uh, no.
00:07:01Nordstrom Rack.
00:07:02But thank you.
00:07:03Can we get you something to drink?
00:07:05Oh, yeah.
00:07:06Maybe, like, a green juice and some nori chips on the side?
00:07:09And do you have an LED face mask I could wear while we chat?
00:07:12I find it super soothing.
00:07:14Please get Mrs. Noble a water.
00:07:16Thanks.
00:07:19Tabby, I know this must be a very, very hard time, and I'm sorry.
00:07:22My heart truly goes out to you.
00:07:25I also wanted to thank you for supporting Jackie's Legacy Fund.
00:07:29She was actually a lawyer as well.
00:07:31Family law, coincidentally.
00:07:33But here at the firm, we focus on mostly contract law and mergers and acquisitions.
00:07:38But you clerked for Judge Westdale for three years, right?
00:07:42And you worked at Miller & Talbot, family law, where you were considered the best.
00:07:46Oh, you've done your homework.
00:07:48I'm not clueless.
00:07:49I just pretended to be on TV for 15 years.
00:07:51And do you know who my ex-husband and I are?
00:07:57Ex-husband and I are?
00:07:59I don't actually watch much reality TV.
00:08:03Oh.
00:08:04Okay.
00:08:05Well, we were on Noble Living, which is one of the biggest reality shows ever.
00:08:10And then we moved to the city, and we got our own spinoff.
00:08:14Eight seasons.
00:08:15Every single one was a hit.
00:08:17So the world has watched us fall in love, grow up, get married, make mistakes, struggle to get pregnant.
00:08:26Oh, I'm really sorry.
00:08:28So, we have been in the public eye and working since we were 16.
00:08:32And now?
00:08:34Right now?
00:08:35Yeah.
00:08:36Um, now we are on a hiatus right now.
00:08:41Wow.
00:08:42Yeah, we're just looking for the right fit for us in the current flailing content environment.
00:08:48Debbie, are you sure?
00:08:50Are you sure you really want to be divorced?
00:08:53I mean, I was looking at your file.
00:08:54You've been married for 10 years.
00:08:5616 years together.
00:08:57I mean, there's a lot of love there.
00:08:58Yeah.
00:08:59But love is like fame.
00:09:02Falling feels like flying until you hit the ground.
00:09:08Okay.
00:09:09Listen, speaking of flying, I really think it's best if we just fly under the radar.
00:09:14You know, let's just keep this quiet.
00:09:16No big scenes.
00:09:17Let's really just try to just stay level-headed.
00:09:20Definitely.
00:09:21But also, he cheated on me with my best friend.
00:09:24Okay.
00:09:25So, I want everything.
00:09:26But mostly, I want him to hurt.
00:09:32Okay.
00:09:36This is why I love family law.
00:09:39Morning, Jared.
00:09:40Your 815 is here.
00:09:41Okay.
00:09:42Who is it?
00:09:45Oh.
00:09:46Okay.
00:09:47Okay.
00:09:50Mark.
00:09:52Brent Noble.
00:09:53Know who he is?
00:09:54I know who he thinks he is.
00:09:55493.
00:09:58494.
00:10:00495.
00:10:03496.
00:10:06497.
00:10:08498.
00:10:10Mr. Noble.
00:10:11499.
00:10:13500.
00:10:14500.
00:10:19Brett.
00:10:20I'm Lois Gale.
00:10:21This is Mark Chervick.
00:10:22Hey, guy.
00:10:23Can I get a green juice?
00:10:24Thanks.
00:10:25Yeah, sure.
00:10:26Maybe we can get you some nori chips, maybe an LED face mask.
00:10:29Oh, yeah.
00:10:30Love it.
00:10:32Great.
00:10:34So, Brett.
00:10:35First things first.
00:10:40You cheated?
00:10:41Oh, I didn't cheat.
00:10:43It was all tabby.
00:10:44I mean, she lives for drama.
00:10:45Brett, look.
00:10:47You can lie to your therapist all day long,
00:10:49but I think it's not in your best interest to lie to your divorce lawyer.
00:10:52You see, you and I are working together now.
00:10:54We're a team.
00:10:55And as a team, you're going to have to have some mental fortitude, grace,
00:10:58and we're going to have some harsh truths back and forth.
00:11:00You get it?
00:11:01All right.
00:11:02Yeah, I dig it.
00:11:03Let's sign some papers and get this divorce started, shall we?
00:11:06I...
00:11:08Okay, so before I do that, I'm going to ask you two questions.
00:11:10Okay.
00:11:11First one is this.
00:11:12Are you sure you want to get divorced?
00:11:13Mm-hmm.
00:11:14The second one is you don't see any chance the two of you can be happy together again.
00:11:18Oh, I'm not happy, so why should she be happy?
00:11:21Oh, hey, listen.
00:11:22I got CrossFit, but before I go, Tabby and I don't have a prenup,
00:11:25and I want everything, so...
00:11:27Well, be that as it may,
00:11:28Brett, New York is a no-fault equitable distribution state, so...
00:11:31Yeah, but I want everything, so...
00:11:35Oh, and I want a sewer.
00:11:38On what grounds?
00:11:40Emotional damages.
00:11:43CrossFit.
00:11:48All the NDAs are signed. No leaks.
00:11:50Yeah, no, I'm on it.
00:11:51But listen, we've got to talk about a broacher, Lois,
00:11:53and Brett thinks he's going to get everything.
00:11:55Then get him everything.
00:11:56Or at least as many available hours as you can.
00:11:58Because lawyers aren't known for their integrity.
00:12:07Popcorn.
00:12:09Cooked in my new copper pot.
00:12:11Oh, eaten with my new socks on.
00:12:14Look at those.
00:12:16Okay, so, nutritional yeast and coconut oil for you.
00:12:21Don't ask me why.
00:12:22And caramel and toffee for me.
00:12:25Perfect.
00:12:27What do you work on, babe? What's this?
00:12:28Oh, nothing, it's just a new case.
00:12:31I'm kind of taking one for the team.
00:12:34It's not worth talking about.
00:12:36Well, trust me, I've got a new case, too.
00:12:38My client?
00:12:39Really?
00:12:40Yeah, really.
00:12:42When did you start watching this?
00:12:44Oh, it was just on.
00:12:48And now, I guess, my first husband.
00:12:50Honey.
00:12:52Guess he got into the spirit.
00:12:53That's a joke, right?
00:12:55That's good.
00:12:56Pretty good. Stand up, babe.
00:12:57It is with great sadness that we have made the difficult decision to divorce.
00:13:02We look forward to moving on with deep kindness and gratitude for everything that we've shared.
00:13:10Love you guys.
00:13:11I mean, I gotta say, this hurts.
00:13:14So, we request respect for our privacy.
00:13:18Why are they making statements? This is...
00:13:21I mean, that's gonna be a mess.
00:13:24Yeah, I mean, I'm still with this kind of...
00:13:31Oh, it...
00:13:35Did you know about his statement?
00:13:36No, come on, Lois, of course not.
00:13:38I mean, the guy's a celebrity. He's like wrangling in a snake.
00:13:40Well, keep him in check, Mark. You got him for partner.
00:13:42Did you give approval for Tabby to release an announcement?
00:13:45No, I did the literal opposite.
00:13:48Oh. Then clean this up, please.
00:13:50The press are gonna rip it to shreds.
00:13:52All right, I'm on it.
00:13:59Sorry, babe, that was, uh, that was my case.
00:14:01Yeah, me too.
00:14:02All right, what are you gonna watch?
00:14:04You wanna watch Steel Magnolias?
00:14:05Or we could find something else on, right?
00:14:14You know, I, um...
00:14:16There's something I'd like to talk to you about.
00:14:18Okay, what is it?
00:14:22Nothing, it's...
00:14:24Nothing, it's Christmas. I mean, on our Christmas plans.
00:14:26I mean, are we gonna go to your family or my family? I mean...
00:14:28I mean, we could have everybody come here.
00:14:30Be kind of nice.
00:14:31Yeah, we could do that.
00:14:32Wait, I almost forgot. Surprise for you.
00:14:35What?
00:14:37Are you...
00:14:38It's for your collection.
00:14:39Oh, come on, babe.
00:14:40Happy anniversary.
00:14:41Thank you, sweetheart.
00:14:43Oh, it's...
00:14:44Are you... This is the one I've always wanted.
00:14:46This is the limited edition fidget spinner.
00:14:48Are you kidding me?
00:14:49I had to switch far and wide.
00:14:51Oh.
00:14:52It's top of the line, babe.
00:14:55Oh, thank you, babe.
00:14:58I love you so much.
00:14:59I love you too.
00:15:01I love you so much.
00:15:02I love you.
00:15:03Well, cat's out of the bag.
00:15:05I got you a present.
00:15:06You did?
00:15:07Yeah, I got you a gift too.
00:15:08You just gotta close your eyes.
00:15:09Okay.
00:15:10It's a big one.
00:15:11Your eyes closed.
00:15:12Eyes are closed.
00:15:13All right.
00:15:15Open.
00:15:20So thoughtful.
00:15:21I know. All right.
00:15:23Okay, let's watch that.
00:15:25Still make noise.
00:15:27I love you.
00:15:28I love you too.
00:15:31I love you.
00:15:36Hi.
00:15:38Good morning.
00:15:39Thank you for coming to me today.
00:15:41I'm just so distraught.
00:15:43I couldn't dress.
00:15:44I just need to stay in and self-care.
00:15:46Of course.
00:15:48Yeah, I support that.
00:15:49But I heard you're also doing talk shows.
00:15:51Yeah, it's a form of self-care.
00:15:53Perhaps, but it's probably not a good idea.
00:15:56But everyone's interested.
00:15:57I understand the appeal of garnering fans' support,
00:15:59but you really need to stay neutral right now.
00:16:01Why are you so worried?
00:16:03It's my job to worry.
00:16:04Speaking of, if you have any skeletons in your closet,
00:16:07now would be the time to say.
00:16:08Skeletons?
00:16:09No, I'm squeaky clean.
00:16:11Come on in. Have a juice.
00:16:19I have so much dirt on Tabby.
00:16:21I know where all the skeletons are.
00:16:24Brett, you really don't need skeletons.
00:16:27We need mature adults
00:16:28who are committed to an amicable resolution.
00:16:32Do you know where that is?
00:16:36Nope.
00:16:39Of course not.
00:16:57Hi.
00:16:58Hey, your uncle just scheduled a noon meeting.
00:17:00I'll send you the address.
00:17:01Okay, perfect. Did you find Brett?
00:17:03Yep, the process server should be heading there now.
00:17:05Thanks so much.
00:17:06All right, I'm sorry, I actually have to go.
00:17:08But I'll be back later and we can finish up.
00:17:10Can you get that?
00:17:12Hello?
00:17:21They all are going to get ruined.
00:17:27Are you Tabby Noble?
00:17:28Yes.
00:17:29Wait, no, no, no, no.
00:17:30Stop, stop. Tabby, don't open that.
00:17:32No.
00:17:34You've been served.
00:17:39Hey, do you even lift, bro?
00:17:43Nice quads.
00:17:44Wait, you're Brett Noble, right?
00:17:46Yeah.
00:17:47Can I get a picture?
00:17:48Of course.
00:17:49Just for you.
00:17:50No, no, no.
00:17:51You've been served.
00:17:57She serves me divorce papers at the gym?
00:17:59This is my safe space.
00:18:01This is where I go to heal.
00:18:05Can you get your clients in line?
00:18:07He serves me at home?
00:18:09It's just so violating.
00:18:11And he ruined my nails.
00:18:14This could be a problem, Dana.
00:18:16Why?
00:18:19Wait, I thought, I thought Brett was driven by Miller and Talbot.
00:18:22No, he met with them.
00:18:24No, he met with them, so Tabby couldn't.
00:18:26But ultimately, Brett went with Gail Fogel and partners.
00:18:30What? Who's the lead?
00:18:32Funnily enough, it's Mark.
00:18:35Is this going to be a problem?
00:18:39I...
00:18:41Honey, this is going to be a problem.
00:18:44It's already a problem.
00:18:46I mean, I didn't want to be on this case to begin with.
00:18:48But Uncle Paul is so protective over Tabby.
00:18:50She lost her mom to cancer.
00:18:52She's on the board of Aunt Jackie's Fund.
00:18:54So he just wants to help make this, this divorce as easy as possible.
00:18:57I could step down.
00:18:58No, they're picking partners soon.
00:19:00Absolutely not. You've worked so hard for that, and I know how much you want it.
00:19:04Okay, um...
00:19:07Maybe we can make this work.
00:19:08How do you figure?
00:19:09We both know if they go to other lawyers,
00:19:11we're going to drag this out, make it contentious,
00:19:13build them for every last thing.
00:19:15Right, but we, we could keep this very civil.
00:19:17Yeah, we can make it the most swift, demagogable divorce possible.
00:19:19And we'll do it together.
00:19:23I love you.
00:19:24I love you.
00:19:25Let's go.
00:19:28Okay.
00:19:37Let's get started.
00:19:38Let's get started.
00:19:43Well, that went well, don't you think?
00:19:45Really, Uncle Paul?
00:19:47Well, I did.
00:19:49What's your take away?
00:19:51Well, New York is an equitable distribution state,
00:19:54so Mark and I both believe it's in everyone's best interest
00:19:57to get this through arbitration ASAP.
00:19:59But both of your clients want everything.
00:20:01How do you suppose we arbitrate that?
00:20:03Unfortunately, it's not up to us.
00:20:05I'm afraid this one's for the court, Dana.
00:20:08I appreciate that you're trying to help Tabby,
00:20:10and I too want to be supportive, but I, I don't do court.
00:20:13I know.
00:20:14And Mark throws an added wrench into it.
00:20:16And I know how empathetic you are,
00:20:18and how personal each case becomes to you.
00:20:21But I truly believe you are the right
00:20:23and only lawyer for the job.
00:20:31Are you going to be able to go up against Dana?
00:20:33You're not going to go soft on us.
00:20:35Come on, Lois, I've got this.
00:20:37And I'm not going up against Dana.
00:20:39We're on the same team, and we want the same things.
00:20:42Back to the gym.
00:20:45So you're going to be fighting against your wife?
00:20:47By fighting, you mean engaging in legal due process, yeah.
00:20:51Well, I hope you're better at fighting with your wife
00:20:53than I was at fighting with my wife.
00:20:56Oh, and by the way, my team wants me
00:20:58to run a background check on you.
00:21:00That's fine.
00:21:01Just do me a favor and send me a copy of the findings, will you?
00:21:03Listen, moving on, Brett, I've got to go over
00:21:05a list of assets here, if we can do that.
00:21:07First off, I'd like to talk to you about the Soho apartment.
00:21:10Tabby wanted to be in the most expensive neighborhood.
00:21:12What about the upstate lake house?
00:21:14She wanted a summer cabin.
00:21:16It says here you own three cars?
00:21:18Yeah, she backed two of them into polls.
00:21:20What about, it says here, wine label, clothing company,
00:21:23perfume line.
00:21:24She's already starting some new business,
00:21:26plastering her face all over some new product.
00:21:31But I'm over it.
00:21:32From now on, I'm a solo show.
00:21:35Check this out.
00:21:38Noble surge, get nobled.
00:21:41You know, maybe now is not the time
00:21:43to invest in new ventures, Brett.
00:21:46So you're really OK battling it out with your husband?
00:21:49Oh, we're not battling.
00:21:51We're on the same team.
00:21:52We work really well together.
00:21:53We're solid.
00:21:54That's what I used to say about me and Brett.
00:21:56So be careful.
00:21:58So do you want this apartment, the house upstate,
00:22:00or do you want to sell both and split the cash?
00:22:03Why do you always dress like you're on your way to a meeting?
00:22:06Because every time you go to a meeting,
00:22:09because every time you see me,
00:22:11I am on my way to a meeting with you.
00:22:13Have you ever worn anything from the Noble line?
00:22:17Bring me the emerald lace dress, the one with the eyelash trim.
00:22:20Yes, ma'am.
00:22:24It's so hard to find good help.
00:22:27Speaking of assistants, have you spoken with Gwen lately?
00:22:30Gwen? Are you joking?
00:22:32I'm never speaking to her ever again.
00:22:34Right. Here's the thing.
00:22:35It would be great if I could at least speak with her.
00:22:37Look, Brett cheated with her.
00:22:38I'm not saying it's going to affect the settlement,
00:22:40but it isn't a good look for him.
00:22:42So if we could have access to Gwen, that would be very helpful.
00:22:45I mean, find her if you can,
00:22:46but last I checked, she was incognito mode.
00:22:49Vanished.
00:22:51And no, I didn't whack her.
00:22:53Okay, thank you for the reassurance, Donna Corleone.
00:22:58All right, what do you want to do with the assets?
00:23:00Assets?
00:23:02I want to keep everything.
00:23:03It was my brand. I was the engine.
00:23:05I mean, it was always the tabby show.
00:23:07Brett just followed along, trying to keep up.
00:23:10Oh, by the way, my team suggested I run a background check on you.
00:23:14That's fine.
00:23:15Just show me a copy of the results. That'd be great.
00:23:20Oh, wow. Look at that.
00:23:21It's very pretty, but not me.
00:23:25But why be you all the time?
00:23:35Hey.
00:23:36Tabby's got me on the clock.
00:23:37Oh, it's that bad, huh?
00:23:39Good to see you.
00:23:40Yeah, I mean, it's worse.
00:23:41Her whole life is about being seen as much as possible,
00:23:44in the least genuine way possible.
00:23:46Okay, it's called being a celebrity.
00:23:48Wow.
00:23:49And is this new?
00:23:50Oh, it's from the Noble Collection.
00:23:52Oh, look at you. You look fabulous.
00:23:54I mean, you are the most beautiful woman I've ever seen,
00:23:56and you keep getting more and more beautiful.
00:23:59It's so tight, I can't breathe.
00:24:01Okay, thank you so much.
00:24:03I got you a new orchid out of the collection.
00:24:06But the real gift here is that I promise you
00:24:08I will accompany you to the orchid festival this year.
00:24:11Thank you. That means a lot.
00:24:13Happy anniversary.
00:24:14Happy anniversary.
00:24:16I love you.
00:24:17I love you.
00:24:20And I wanted to ask you,
00:24:24what is it you've been wanting to ask me?
00:24:26What do you mean?
00:24:27Twice now, you've been trepidatious about bringing up
00:24:29wanting to talk to me about something,
00:24:30and I just wish you would spill it, love.
00:24:32Yeah, um...
00:24:33Okay, and judging by how uncomfortable you are now,
00:24:35I feel like it might be something really terrible.
00:24:37No.
00:24:38Are you going through a midlife crisis?
00:24:40Is your mother moving in?
00:24:41My mother is not moving in, okay?
00:24:42Nothing so life-altering. That'll never happen.
00:24:44Wait, what is it?
00:24:45Tell me. We can talk about anything.
00:24:48Okay. All right.
00:24:51Do you remember the conversation we had
00:24:52before we were married about having children?
00:24:55And we both decided at the time that we weren't ready,
00:24:58and that we were going to put a pin in it.
00:25:00Are you wanting to take that pin out?
00:25:03Yeah, I'd like to revisit the idea.
00:25:07Because...
00:25:09Because, honey,
00:25:12I'm ready to have children.
00:25:15And a one with you.
00:25:19You did start this whole thing by saying it wasn't so life-altering.
00:25:24I did.
00:25:26Oh.
00:25:29Oh, great.
00:25:31Oh.
00:25:32Tabby's going to be on the Dr. Doug show tomorrow.
00:25:35So is Brett. Great.
00:25:36And Uncle Paul wants me to be there
00:25:38to make sure there's no undoable libel.
00:25:40And Lois wants me to do the same.
00:25:42Mr. and Mrs. C, your table is ready.
00:25:44Thanks, T.J.
00:25:46Appreciate it.
00:25:48This could go really badly.
00:25:51They charmed the nation, certainly charmed each other,
00:25:55and then charmed the separation that, believe it or not...
00:25:58We'll be fine, right?
00:25:59Yeah, of course, we're just going to stay impartial
00:26:01and we'll keep the fighting to a minimum.
00:26:03Winning is them settling their divorces quickly.
00:26:05Oh, great, here they are.
00:26:06But we might need it. We'll see how this goes.
00:26:09Ready? What up?
00:26:10So, Tabby, what do you say to people
00:26:12who think Brett was just flirting?
00:26:14I say that flirting is cheating.
00:26:16Well, you cheated on me emotionally.
00:26:18When did I do that?
00:26:19With work.
00:26:20You made our entire life about our brand.
00:26:22You cheated on me with ambition.
00:26:24It sounds like you were just jealous of me
00:26:26because I was always more successful than you.
00:26:28Maybe I didn't want the success.
00:26:30Maybe we wanted different things.
00:26:31Maybe we did, but because I wanted you to not cheat on us.
00:26:33That's not grammar.
00:26:34Whatever.
00:26:35Good time to take a caller.
00:26:36Good morning, Gwen, you're on the air.
00:26:38Tabby, you were a terrible friend.
00:26:39You never supported my dreams.
00:26:41What were your dreams exactly?
00:26:43To be a fitness influencer slash method actress.
00:26:46I practice Strasburg.
00:26:47I'll be right back.
00:26:50What is happening over there?
00:26:52Social media is tearing Tabby apart.
00:26:54They're calling her cold, angry.
00:26:56Dana, please, turn this around.
00:26:58Okay, I'm on it.
00:27:10Guys, let's take another call.
00:27:12We'll go to Joanne Vlacho in Boise, Idaho.
00:27:15Hey, Joanne, you're on the air.
00:27:17Hi.
00:27:18I just want to say it is such a heartbreak
00:27:20to be betrayed by the love of your life
00:27:22and your best friend who you trusted the most.
00:27:24I mean, but for you to admit you have made some mistakes
00:27:28and to take responsibility, I mean, to be human,
00:27:31it is just, well, you are a hero to me.
00:27:34I mean, bless your heart.
00:27:35You are such a strong and yet vulnerable role model.
00:27:39Thank you so much, Joanne.
00:27:41That really means the world to me.
00:27:44You can't let me have a moment, can you?
00:27:46Yeah, you're giving me my moment.
00:27:48I'm sensing a lot of tension here.
00:27:50Do you need to take a break?
00:27:52Thank you for taking my call.
00:27:56Hi.
00:27:57Hi.
00:27:58I just want to know how Joanne from Boise
00:28:00has a thick, as molasses of an accent.
00:28:02Because after she retired from her barbecue stand,
00:28:04she moved out of the South,
00:28:06so she could be closer to her grandchildren.
00:28:08I thought we were staying here.
00:28:11I thought we were staying impartial.
00:28:13We are. We are.
00:28:14I'm sorry.
00:28:15Okay, it's going to be just impartial sailing
00:28:18all the way to a settlement.
00:28:20Good. Okay.
00:28:24Oh, great.
00:28:25Just got our arbitration date.
00:28:27In two days.
00:28:28Right.
00:28:32I think you'd be a lot happier if you got involved.
00:28:38Snacks?
00:28:39Snacks?
00:28:40Check.
00:28:41Grapes?
00:28:42Coffee?
00:28:43Check.
00:28:44Notebooks?
00:28:45Check.
00:28:48There you go, love.
00:28:49Thanks.
00:28:50Okay.
00:28:51Okay.
00:28:53Yeah.
00:28:54In the case of Chervick and Chervick growing their family.
00:28:58Right.
00:29:00Do you want me to start, or do you want...
00:29:01Yeah, you can start.
00:29:03All right.
00:29:06You know I love you so much.
00:29:08All right.
00:29:10You have all of my heart.
00:29:13But I feel like I have so much more to give.
00:29:16And we're not getting any younger.
00:29:18Well, you can speak for yourself.
00:29:20Yeah, okay.
00:29:22I'm just kidding. Continue.
00:29:24I don't know. I feel a shift is happening in me.
00:29:28I mean, I've always wanted to have kids.
00:29:30You know, I'm ready. I can feel it.
00:29:33And I want one with you.
00:29:34I want to give you everything you want.
00:29:36I want to give you the house in Connecticut with the big garden.
00:29:39I want to give you the dogs, the goat tonight.
00:29:41You know I love baby goats.
00:29:43I know you do, babe.
00:29:45Honey.
00:29:49I really want kids.
00:29:50Mm-hmm.
00:29:51But it is a huge step.
00:29:52I think it's the most important decision you make in life.
00:29:55And I just feel like, you know, for the past ten years,
00:29:57we have worked so hard working our way up in our careers,
00:30:00and we're finally on solid footing.
00:30:01Is this really the issue?
00:30:07What if we're not good parents?
00:30:08Come on. We're going to be great parents.
00:30:15I'm scared.
00:30:18So, what if there's a compromise?
00:30:21How would you like to compromise?
00:30:22Well, let's just get a dog.
00:30:24Honey, we work a ton.
00:30:25We can't just leave a dog at home alone all day.
00:30:29I had gotten you this anniversary gift.
00:30:32You pick the best times, don't you?
00:30:34The timing's great.
00:30:37For the pup.
00:30:39Okay, you're naming our rhetorical dog Oliver?
00:30:42What's wrong with Oliver?
00:30:56Um, hey, have you had any luck finding Gwen yet?
00:30:59I think she can really temp her bread
00:31:00and help him settle this divorce faster.
00:31:02We're still looking.
00:31:04Right.
00:31:07You okay, boss?
00:31:09Anxious about arbitration?
00:31:11No. No, come on, are you kidding me?
00:31:12I haven't been anxious about arbitration in over a decade.
00:31:15Um, Richard.
00:31:17Oh, uh, meeting for Lois, the head of Reality Reel.
00:31:24All right, do me a favor. Keep looking for Gwen, okay?
00:31:25Yeah, you got it.
00:31:32Thanks.
00:31:37Ready for arbitration?
00:31:40Yeah.
00:31:43All right.
00:31:51Oh, who's the suit?
00:31:53A network exec from Reality Reel meeting with Paul.
00:32:02Keep it subtle.
00:32:04Tabby?
00:32:05Brett.
00:32:09Hello, sir.
00:32:10Hi, I'm Tabby.
00:32:11Hi.
00:32:13Are you flirting with our mediator?
00:32:15No, flirting with strangers is your job,
00:32:16because he's an arbitrator.
00:32:18What's the difference?
00:32:19Ignorant people say what?
00:32:20What?
00:32:21My point exactly.
00:32:22They've been on reality TV since they were teenagers, so...
00:32:25Understood.
00:32:27Can we please start?
00:32:28Yeah.
00:32:29We'll begin with verbal agreements from each line item.
00:32:31To start, you'll sell the house upstate and split the funds.
00:32:35I want the house.
00:32:37Clearly a sticking point.
00:32:39Moving on.
00:32:40The shared apartment on Descano.
00:32:42You agree that one party moves out and the other will be compensated.
00:32:45Agreed.
00:32:47So, who's moving out?
00:32:49She is.
00:32:52Counselors, can you please manage your clients?
00:32:55Unfortunately, this is about as good as it gets.
00:32:58Then I suggest you prepare for court.
00:33:00What?
00:33:01What?
00:33:05Would you just give us one second, please?
00:33:07Mark.
00:33:08Yeah, yeah.
00:33:09Good job.
00:33:13I do not do court.
00:33:14You know how I am with public speaking.
00:33:16I know, honey, I know.
00:33:22How do I know?
00:33:30Tabby, I know your heart has been broken and I am so sorry,
00:33:34but in punishing Brett, you're really just punishing yourself.
00:33:36I mean, this could all be done so quickly and smoothly.
00:33:38Have I mentioned Brett's hiding money?
00:33:40No, you kind of buried the lead on that.
00:33:42Yeah, well, he played cards a lot.
00:33:44He went to Vegas, sports gambled.
00:33:46Are you sure he's hiding money or is he hiding losses?
00:33:49One sec.
00:33:51This is Tabby.
00:33:53Yeah, um, we're gonna need a larger retainer.
00:33:56Okay.
00:33:57Also, I found one.
00:33:58Really?
00:33:59Mm-hmm.
00:34:00I just texted you the address.
00:34:05Perfect.
00:34:06I think she's hiding all her money.
00:34:08Or maybe she spent it all.
00:34:09You know, she always wanted more fancy things,
00:34:11more businesses, more brands.
00:34:14She took out loans, and not always from banks.
00:34:18So you're telling me that her credit score sleeps with the fishes?
00:34:22The fishes?
00:34:24I'm gonna call you later, okay?
00:34:25I gotta go.
00:34:27Like an aquarium investment or...
00:34:35Of all the tenements in the world,
00:34:38you just had to walk into mine, huh?
00:34:40You know what? I don't know.
00:34:41Maybe this makes it easier.
00:34:42We can just work together.
00:34:43Hmm.
00:34:45Who is it?
00:34:46Hi, Gwen. It's Dana Cherbik.
00:34:48I'm representing Tabby.
00:34:49And Gwen, I'm Mark Cherbik.
00:34:51I'm representing Brad.
00:34:52I'm not talking to anyone.
00:34:55That went well.
00:34:56Yeah.
00:34:57Apparently, she doesn't want to talk.
00:34:58Yeah, they're both here.
00:34:59No, I didn't say anything.
00:35:02And what do I get out of it?
00:35:04Fine.
00:35:05Yeah, yeah, I'll leave out the back.
00:35:07I can't name a German shepherd, Oliver.
00:35:08But you can name a doodle, Oliver.
00:35:10Didn't our prenup specify no doodles?
00:35:11Oh, I don't really remember that in terms and conditions.
00:35:14Really? Because I kind of...
00:35:17Hi.
00:35:19Up to you.
00:35:22Is that Gwen?
00:35:23Whoa, whoa, whoa. I just saw Gwen.
00:35:25That for you?
00:35:26That was Gwen.
00:35:27That was Gwen?
00:35:28Yep.
00:35:30Hey, Kim.
00:35:31So, Gwen got skittish and ran off.
00:35:33We're going to need to depose her.
00:35:34Thanks.
00:35:35Something tells me things just got a whole lot more complicated.
00:35:37How could this possibly get more complicated?
00:35:39Are you thinking what I'm thinking?
00:35:41No matter how terrible this gets, Meg,
00:35:43as long as we're in it together.
00:35:45Oh, I was thinking we should have become dentists.
00:35:47Dentists would have been better.
00:35:48But this case does feel like we're pulling teeth.
00:35:50What's up?
00:35:52Hey.
00:35:53So, um, this came for you?
00:35:55Oh, yeah, that's probably the background check that Tabby ran on me.
00:35:59Speaking of any word on locating Gwen,
00:36:02we really need to serve her a subpoena so we can depose her.
00:36:04Also, will you look into Brett's finances?
00:36:06There's suspicion of money hidden or lost.
00:36:10Got it.
00:36:11Thank you so much. Have a good night.
00:36:13Good night.
00:36:14Good night.
00:36:15Good night.
00:36:16Good night.
00:36:17Good night.
00:36:18Good night.
00:36:19Good night.
00:36:20Have a good night.
00:36:21You too.
00:36:22Thanks.
00:36:24All right.
00:36:28I was looking for you.
00:36:31Invite to the gala.
00:36:33This?
00:36:34Hosted by Paul Larson and Tabby Noble.
00:36:36That's not a conflict at all.
00:36:38Mark and I will be there.
00:36:41I'm really proud of you.
00:36:42Me and Jackie would be too.
00:36:45I meant to ask you if there was a guy here from Reality Real?
00:36:50Well, they make a lot of money off the Nobles reruns.
00:36:53They want to know what this divorce is going to cost their brand.
00:36:57Any thoughts on that?
00:36:58Besides everyone's dignity?
00:37:00I don't know.
00:37:01We're in arbitration again tomorrow and hopefully we settle.
00:37:05Night.
00:37:15This came for you.
00:37:16Oh, good. Thanks.
00:37:17It's part of my background check.
00:37:18Have you found that forensic accountant looking at Tabby Noble yet?
00:37:20Yep, just booked him.
00:37:21Atta boy.
00:37:22Atta boy. Nice work.
00:37:26Guess who just called the office.
00:37:28Gwen.
00:37:29She wants to meet with you tonight.
00:37:30Oh, Lois.
00:37:31Dana and I were supposed to...
00:37:35All right. I'll give her a call back.
00:37:37Get her on our side.
00:37:38We can't afford her testifying against Brett and ruining his reputation.
00:37:41We could keep him as a future client.
00:37:43Hey, by the way, why was the head of reality real today?
00:37:46Oh, they just needed some hand-holding.
00:37:48Wanted to be assured that the divorce would be amicable,
00:37:50that their brand could be saved.
00:37:52All right. Well, here's to fingers crossed for arbitration tomorrow, right?
00:38:00Hey.
00:38:06Hello.
00:38:07Hello.
00:38:09Okay. All right. Good.
00:38:11Well, where's my martini and my steak and potato dinner?
00:38:14I slaved over a hot stove all day and missed the greeting again.
00:38:17Uh, babe?
00:38:18Oh, sorry. The chair thing I forgot.
00:38:20I owe you one free pet peeve.
00:38:21Yeah, don't worry. I'm banking them, honey.
00:38:23Oh, by the way, I gotta head out for a quick sec.
00:38:24I got a work thing to do.
00:38:25But you promised me Asian-Mexican fusion tonight and old movies.
00:38:28The bulgogi tacos are on their way,
00:38:30and I will be back before they're delivered.
00:38:33See you in a bit.
00:38:37Luca.
00:38:38Hey, we've been hoping you'd come in.
00:38:40I have tickets for you and Mrs. C to my new play.
00:38:42Oh, congrats, TJ. Broadway?
00:38:44Atlantic City.
00:38:45Broadway, Jersey.
00:38:47Can't wait.
00:38:49Uh, listen, Luca, I wanted to ask you a question.
00:38:51Um, you know people, right?
00:38:54Know people, know people.
00:38:56Thinking you could put your ear to the ground on Tammy Noble
00:38:58and whether she's borrowing all the money around town?
00:39:00For you and what you did for my TJ?
00:39:02Anything.
00:39:03Thank you, my friend.
00:39:11Huh.
00:39:16Okay.
00:39:30What?
00:39:35Hi.
00:39:36Hi.
00:39:37Gwen, sorry. Yes, hi.
00:39:39Thanks for coming. I was just going over a legal brief.
00:39:41Can I get you a drink? Anything to eat?
00:39:43Uh, no, no. I just want to get to the bottom of this.
00:39:46Hey, is she alone? Who is she with?
00:39:49Hey, she's with some man, but I can't see his face.
00:39:52Okay, try to take some pictures and send them to me, okay?
00:40:09Okay.
00:40:27A little work thing?
00:40:33Hey, wait ten minutes and serve her.
00:40:36On it.
00:40:38You don't need a lawyer now, but what you do need is you need to be very honest with me, okay?
00:40:43I need to, uh...
00:40:49I need you to vanish.
00:40:50Vanish?
00:40:51Yes, I need you to lie low.
00:40:52I can't afford Tammy to depose you to testify against Gwen under any circumstance.
00:40:57Good evening.
00:40:58Green juice and some nori chips.
00:41:00No, no, no, don't take that.
00:41:02Okay.
00:41:03You've been served.
00:41:05Oh, hi, Mark.
00:41:06Hi.
00:41:07Pleasure to see you.
00:41:08Long time no see.
00:41:13Can I see that?
00:41:14Yeah.
00:41:18Yep, you've been subpoenaed to come to arbitration tomorrow.
00:41:21But I have Pilates tomorrow.
00:41:23Gwen, I'm sorry you might have to...
00:41:27You might not make Pilates tomorrow.
00:41:33A little work thing, huh? I'm pretty sure we switched background checks.
00:41:36Oh, yeah, you sure did.
00:41:38You were married?
00:41:39You were in jail?
00:41:48Did you get the nobles to run a background check on me?
00:41:50Because we both know you need to get the dirt, right, honey?
00:41:52But I run due diligence on businesses.
00:41:54There is a big difference.
00:41:55They are corporations, not people.
00:41:56Not according to the Supreme Court.
00:41:57Let's stay on topic here.
00:41:58Because you know what?
00:41:59It's a really big topic.
00:42:00You were married.
00:42:01For a day.
00:42:02At a bachelorette party in Vegas.
00:42:03You were in jail.
00:42:04For five minutes.
00:42:05I'm sorry, I missed the no trespassing sign.
00:42:06You also lied about your college GPA.
00:42:08I round it up, who doesn't?
00:42:09Meanwhile, what do you do when you watch TV?
00:42:11You're always not liking those beauty contests.
00:42:13But guess who was Miss Supreme Ann Arbor in 2006?
00:42:15I did it for the scholarship money.
00:42:16Your speech was on world peace.
00:42:18We all make mistakes when we're young.
00:42:20Yeah, like me with the no trespassing sign.
00:42:36This isn't us.
00:42:37I'm so sorry.
00:42:38I'm so sorry, honey.
00:42:39This isn't us.
00:42:40I'm so sorry.
00:42:41What are we doing?
00:42:42This is crazy.
00:42:43We don't do this.
00:42:44I love you so much.
00:42:45I'm sorry.
00:42:46You were married?
00:42:47You were incarcerated?
00:42:48Look, I'm sorry about Gwen, okay?
00:42:49I should have told you everything at the meeting.
00:42:50She called.
00:42:51She said she wanted to keep it a secret.
00:42:52It's okay.
00:42:53Look, I've been honest, but I couldn't because, you know, whatever.
00:42:54The point is, this case is driving me nuts.
00:42:55Me too.
00:42:56Listen, we're going to go in there tomorrow.
00:42:57We are going to settle this, and it'll all go back to normal.
00:42:58We're not going to court.
00:42:59No court.
00:43:00Definitely not.
00:43:02Okay.
00:43:03Okay.
00:43:04Is there any more bulgogi tacos left?
00:43:05Because I'm starving.
00:43:06Yeah, sure.
00:43:07So are you ready for a second chance at a fair deal for both of you?
00:43:08No.
00:43:09Do you think you'll be reasonable with Tabby today?
00:43:10No.
00:43:11No.
00:43:12No.
00:43:13No.
00:43:14No.
00:43:15No.
00:43:16No.
00:43:17No.
00:43:18No.
00:43:19No.
00:43:20No.
00:43:21No.
00:43:22No.
00:43:23No.
00:43:24No.
00:43:25No.
00:43:26No.
00:43:27No.
00:43:28No.
00:43:29No.
00:43:30Absolutely not.
00:43:31Come on.
00:43:32Shhh.
00:43:33I know divorce is a gut punch.
00:43:38But the two of you going to court, it's only going to bring more pain for the both of you.
00:43:52This way?
00:43:53Where's Gwen?
00:43:54Family emergency.
00:43:56It's a well-timed emergency.
00:43:57Are we ready to divide assets?
00:44:01No, actually.
00:44:02After conferring with my lawyer, I've decided I want to go to court.
00:44:07Excuse me?
00:44:08And after confer... conference... whatever.
00:44:11With my lawyer, I want to go to court.
00:44:17Then I guess you're going to court.
00:44:23Good morning.
00:44:24What do you think for the gala? Orchids or these beautiful pink flowers?
00:44:29Well, you do know I love orchids, but pink is the color of breast cancer research, so...
00:44:34You are always the person to ask. We'll do a little mix of both.
00:44:38I wanted to talk to you about the Noble case.
00:44:41I've given it my all, but I'm not a litigator.
00:44:44I mean, I'm certain you can find someone much better suited for this.
00:44:48Dana, I believe in you.
00:44:52I also know that you've never met a challenge that you haven't conquered.
00:44:58And I know that Tabby needs you right now. She's all alone.
00:45:04Now, I have a tiny request.
00:45:09Yes?
00:45:12I want you to ask Mark to bring Brett to the gala.
00:45:16Um, that is not what I call a tiny request.
00:45:19I mean, isn't there going to be some conflict? Tabby will be there.
00:45:22Exactly. My thinking is that Tabby and Brett are always their best at big events, in front of the camera.
00:45:28And it's not just for show. It somehow bonds them.
00:45:32So I was thinking the gala might be a chance for reconciliation.
00:45:35You really are an eternal optimist.
00:45:37I just like to make opportunities out of challenges.
00:45:41Okay. I will ask Mark about Brett.
00:45:45Thank you for the flowers. I'm keeping them.
00:45:54Hey.
00:45:56This is a slam dunk, right?
00:45:58Well, yeah. I mean, Dana doesn't love court. I'm certainly not going to capitalize on it.
00:46:03You're not?
00:46:07Mark, I shouldn't be sharing this with you, but it looks like you're going to make partners.
00:46:13Contingent on winning this case, of course, right?
00:46:15Of course. We need partners who will do what it takes.
00:46:19Well, be that as it may, Lois, I'm going to prioritize what's best for Dana and me.
00:46:24But what's best for both of you is you making partner.
00:46:27Getting her raised, taking Dana to Hawaii. She loves Hawaii, right?
00:46:32I can no longer tell the difference between the carrot and the stick.
00:46:36The carrot is my not using the stick.
00:46:43Slam dunk.
00:46:46Oh.
00:46:54You know how I am with public speaking.
00:46:56I'm going to get weird. I clam up. I make the face.
00:46:59Honey, your face is adorable.
00:47:02Plus, court's not going to happen for another few months, so you have plenty of time to prepare.
00:47:06You're going to be great, okay?
00:47:09Plus, you happen to be the only lawyer that I will never use my usual soundbite of,
00:47:14rather be on our side than the opponent's, right?
00:47:17Okay, on to more important topics, like a vacation.
00:47:21I think when all this is done, you and I need to vacay. What do you say about Hawaii?
00:47:24Please, Hawaii. Maui, Kauai, anywhere where there's a beach and a pina colada.
00:47:28Sounds perfect to me.
00:47:31Maybe it'll be our own little baby moon.
00:47:36Now we can full circle back to the baby convo.
00:47:39Listen, I have been thinking a lot, and are you sure we're ready for it not just to be the two of us?
00:47:48You know, late night ice cream and lazy Saturdays in bed and vacations.
00:47:56Are you really ready to be parents?
00:47:59Honey, is anybody ever ready?
00:48:20Hey, babe.
00:48:21Hi.
00:48:23One coffee coming up.
00:48:24Oh, thank you.
00:48:26Got to just grab my bag.
00:48:28Okay.
00:48:47You know, I love you in blue.
00:48:49Oh, love you in green.
00:48:51What's your morning like?
00:48:53Yes, babe.
00:48:56Just some more stuff. What about you?
00:48:58Yeah, same. Big day.
00:49:00Yeah, you ready?
00:49:01Yeah, two minutes.
00:49:02Okay, I'll meet you downstairs.
00:49:23Okay.
00:49:53Oh, my God.
00:50:00Jesus.
00:50:15You didn't think I was coming, did you?
00:50:17Thanks very much.
00:50:24Yeah.
00:50:31Gwen, hi.
00:50:33Seriously? Are you here to offer me another subpoena?
00:50:36No, no, I'm not.
00:50:38Oh, I'm so sorry.
00:50:40Listen, I'm not here as a lawyer. I'm here as a human, okay?
00:50:44Your best friend of 20 years, Tabby, is going through a really hard time, and she's doing it all alone.
00:50:50Even if you played a part in it, I just really think she could use a friend right now.
00:50:54Oh, I'm so over this whole thing.
00:50:56I am not the bad guy here, and I was promised I wouldn't be.
00:50:59But I will be, if I have to be.
00:51:01I don't think I understand what that means.
00:51:03It means tell Tabby to pay the money she owes me.
00:51:05I can't even make rent anymore.
00:51:10Oh, you left a...
00:51:20Hey.
00:51:24Kim, let's run background on Gwen.
00:51:43Hey, babe. You scared me.
00:51:45Benny, how was your day?
00:51:48How was my day? Um...
00:51:50Completely exhausting.
00:51:53Did you have a big meeting?
00:51:56Well, actually, I sat down with Gwen today.
00:51:59And, uh, I talked about your subpoena to help her expedite the divorce.
00:52:03She said she'll do anything to help us both out, so...
00:52:05Are you okay?
00:52:07Yeah, I just, um...
00:52:09Yeah, I was just spending the day chasing things down.
00:52:14Come here.
00:52:16Oh.
00:52:17So, I've been thinking about what you said.
00:52:20And I thought, what if I quit my job,
00:52:23and I stayed home with the baby?
00:52:25It'd be fun, you know? I'd be a...
00:52:27domestic engineer.
00:52:30So, hold on.
00:52:32I would be working all day while you're home with our sweet little baby?
00:52:35Okay, well, we could take turns working,
00:52:36and then you could stay home with the baby and Rambo.
00:52:38Who's Rambo?
00:52:39Rambo's our dog, the German Shepherd.
00:52:41I thought I'd get him a nice red bandana.
00:52:43Our puppy sounds like he just got back from NOM.
00:52:45I don't even like Rambo.
00:52:47What are you talking about? You tell me you love the franchise.
00:52:49Yeah, honey.
00:52:51It's the same way I say I love watching hockey,
00:52:53or, you know, going to the hardware store on Sunday.
00:52:55I mean, these are...
00:52:57These are just things you say on a second date.
00:52:59You're falling madly in love.
00:53:01Oh, so kind of how I feel when we have to go shoe shopping,
00:53:03or maybe you book us some Cajun cooking classes, or...
00:53:06What?
00:53:07We sit here and we watch Steel Magnolias over and over.
00:53:10No, that is not possible.
00:53:11Steel Magnolias is an American classic.
00:53:13Okay. All right, fine.
00:53:15So let's do this. Let's compromise, all right?
00:53:17What?
00:53:18We've got Oliver.
00:53:20We've got Rambo.
00:53:21One goat.
00:53:22And baby Trevich, so we'll be working part-time
00:53:25so that we can stay home part-time.
00:53:27Is that enough income?
00:53:29Babe, maybe we need less income.
00:53:32Maybe we need to move somewhere cheaper.
00:53:34We can move to Minnesota near my family.
00:53:35Yeah, or we could go to Ann Arbor near my family,
00:53:37and baby Trevich could be around cousins and...
00:53:40Mm-hmm.
00:53:41I don't know, honey. We'll figure it out.
00:53:43Yes, we will.
00:53:45Oh, great.
00:53:51What?
00:53:52Our court date has been set.
00:53:53No. No, next Monday?
00:53:55This is supposed to be months from now.
00:53:57Well, you know we're supposed to pull some strings.
00:53:59It's okay. It's all right.
00:54:01It's okay. We'll figure it out.
00:54:04Come here, baby.
00:54:06We'll figure it out.
00:54:09You know, I think things will be a whole lot better
00:54:11once we watch Rambo.
00:54:13Mm-hmm.
00:54:16Saturday, 5 p.m., we will see you there.
00:54:19All right, ciao.
00:54:20Luca, my friend.
00:54:21Mark, always a treat.
00:54:24You were asking me about Cathy Noble, right?
00:54:26Mm-hmm.
00:54:27Well, I did some sniffing around.
00:54:29Turns out she's got quite a few credit lines set up,
00:54:32but with non-banking entities, it'll catch my drift.
00:54:35Mm-hmm.
00:54:36She's a savvy businesswoman.
00:54:38She's got the golden touch.
00:54:40Prince money is the quote.
00:54:43But it doesn't get sent to the bank.
00:54:47So what are you saying? She's got offshore accounts?
00:54:49Who's to say?
00:54:51All right, Jimmy, if you ever just keep this
00:54:52between you and me, okay?
00:54:53The lips are zipped.
00:54:55Grazie.
00:54:56All right, and I will be right here with your drinks.
00:54:59Have a lovely night.
00:55:00Thank you, my friend.
00:55:02See you again.
00:55:04TJ, hi.
00:55:05Mr. C.
00:55:06I can't wait to see your play.
00:55:07Mark's just down here.
00:55:08Okay.
00:55:09By the way, astronaut Brett Noble?
00:55:10Seems right.
00:55:11He's got a gambler's spirit.
00:55:13Card games, Vegas.
00:55:14He's a high roller everywhere.
00:55:15So he spent all their money?
00:55:16Nah, more the opposite, where this guy's a winner.
00:55:19Diamond ants.
00:55:20So he's hiding his winnings?
00:55:22Huh.
00:55:23Listen, just keep this between us, okay?
00:55:25Thanks.
00:55:27Hey, love.
00:55:28Hi, honey.
00:55:29Oh, famished.
00:55:30I'm so exhausted.
00:55:31You know what I was thinking?
00:55:32Hmm?
00:55:33Instead of a vacation, we should quit our jobs,
00:55:35we should sell everything we own,
00:55:36and we should just move to Hawaii.
00:55:37Hmm.
00:55:38I am so game.
00:55:39That sounds amazing.
00:55:40Oh, by the way, Rambo actually also loves the Sands.
00:55:43And what will we do with all your orchids?
00:55:45Hmm.
00:55:46Hmm.
00:55:47Solid point.
00:55:48How are you feeling about court?
00:55:49How I feel about everything right now.
00:55:50Like, it's just spiraling out of control.
00:55:52Come here.
00:55:54You're gonna do great.
00:55:56But we've got Judge Clark, who I know well.
00:55:59She's great.
00:56:00But can I give you a pointer?
00:56:02Yeah, we'll take all the pointers.
00:56:03Judge Clark likes sports analogies.
00:56:05So if you can pepper some sports analogies
00:56:07into your statements, that would be great.
00:56:09Wait, what?
00:56:10Judge Clark likes sports?
00:56:11Yeah.
00:56:12I learned she was quoting Proust
00:56:13and playing Dungeons & Dragons.
00:56:14I'm just telling you.
00:56:15Okay, so let's just play this out.
00:56:16What kind of sports things
00:56:17am I actually gonna know how to reference this?
00:56:19You're gonna go somewhere like,
00:56:20oh, this case is a slam goal and par for the field.
00:56:23Honey, we'll workshop it.
00:56:24Don't worry.
00:56:25Ugh.
00:56:27What?
00:56:29Uncle Paul wants me to ask you if Brett
00:56:33will come to Jackie's gala.
00:56:36But isn't Tabby gonna be there?
00:56:38I mean, honey, you both know that
00:56:40those two together are like loose cannons,
00:56:42and the night before their court date,
00:56:44what are you talking about?
00:56:45I know, I know,
00:56:46but he truly thinks it could help mend things.
00:56:48You do know I have to do what's best for my client, right?
00:56:52Isn't what's best for your client
00:56:55to attempt reconciliation?
00:56:59Not necessarily.
00:57:04What?
00:57:05Nothing.
00:57:13This new stylist brought some amazing options.
00:57:16Tabby, I really need you to focus.
00:57:18We've gotta quickly prepare you for court.
00:57:20Yeah, about that, how formal will it be?
00:57:22A divorce trial can be quite strict proceedings.
00:57:25No, no, no, I mean my outfit.
00:57:27Like heels, wedges, autumnal neutral tones?
00:57:31Can you please take this seriously?
00:57:33You are gonna be asked very prying questions
00:57:35about your marriage, your history, your character,
00:57:37in a courtroom full of press.
00:57:39Yeah, so? I can handle that?
00:57:41I've been in front of a camera for 20 years.
00:57:44I had 3.4 million people watch my struggle to get pregnant.
00:57:48I'm sorry, I really can't imagine what that feels like.
00:57:52Yeah, I wouldn't want you to.
00:57:57Do you still want children?
00:58:00More than anything.
00:58:03It's kind of something I've always wanted.
00:58:08What about you? You want kids?
00:58:12Yes, so much.
00:58:15But I feel like it's the biggest decision I'll make in life,
00:58:18and I'm kind of scared.
00:58:21Scared of what exactly?
00:58:24Scared that, scared that I'll mess it up,
00:58:27that I won't be a good mom,
00:58:30that it'll change things between me and Mark.
00:58:33It will change things between you and Mark.
00:58:36I know, and I'm sure in the most magical way,
00:58:39but for my parents, it changed things,
00:58:42and they slowly fell apart.
00:58:44And I just wouldn't want to put my kids through
00:58:47what I went through when my parents were divorced.
00:58:50So you're unsure about kids
00:58:53No, oh, no, no, no, no.
00:58:56No, Mark is, I love Mark with all of my heart.
00:58:59He is the best decision I've ever made.
00:59:02I think this is the winner. What about you?
00:59:05Oh yeah, that's great, it's perfect.
00:59:08Yeah.
00:59:10Brad, come on, I gotta get ready for court.
00:59:13Bro, I am 3% body fat, I am ready.
00:59:16That's great, I'm glad you're 3% body fat.
00:59:18We gotta go over the issues, man.
00:59:20Should be mine.
00:59:22And it would be if you signed a prenup.
00:59:24No way, man, prenups are such a bummer.
00:59:26That's distrust, it's not love.
00:59:28It has nothing to do with distrust, Brad,
00:59:30it's called protection.
00:59:31Marriage is not some whim, it's a legal binding contract.
00:59:34Yeah, but that's like make sure all the exit doors
00:59:36work on the plane before the flight takes off.
00:59:38Exactly, that's my point, it's called protection.
00:59:40Yeah, but why get on the flight
00:59:42if the plane's just gonna crash?
00:59:44Okay, you know what, Brad, can you get down here
00:59:46and why don't you just, why don't you tell me?
00:59:49You have a prenup?
00:59:50Look at me, I'm a family lawyer, of course I have a prenup.
00:59:52Yeah, that ever felt like a bad sign to you,
00:59:54like a lack of trust?
00:59:55I mean, you're already focusing on the marriage ending
00:59:57before it's even began.
00:59:58No, no, not okay.
00:59:59All right, I'll give you that.
01:00:01If I was to be perfectly honest with you,
01:00:03sure, for one little moment, yeah.
01:00:05Exactly, and why would you want to believe
01:00:06that you'd have to one day protect yourself
01:00:08from the person that you love most in the world?
01:00:10I didn't want to believe that.
01:00:11So why did you want a prenup?
01:00:13I didn't, Brad.
01:00:15I didn't want a prenup, she did.
01:00:18So what's your point?
01:00:20I don't know.
01:00:22Just, you know, don't worry about the exit doors.
01:00:30You were nominated by your friend Tricia.
01:00:33Yeah.
01:00:49This shade of red was actually created for me,
01:00:51it's called Tabby Red.
01:00:53Um, oh.
01:01:04You look fantastic.
01:01:06Thank you, this is beautiful.
01:01:09And Jackie would be so proud.
01:01:11Thank you, and I hope so.
01:01:14So, not to press the issue, but is Brad coming?
01:01:18He's not, I'm sorry.
01:01:20Mark just didn't think it was a good idea.
01:01:22I was hoping for something different.
01:01:24I know.
01:01:26Oh, excuse me.
01:01:28Of course.
01:01:31So it's Italian silk, and it was cool.
01:01:33Oh.
01:01:34And this is my divorce lawyer, Dana Shurbeck.
01:01:37But she's so much more than that.
01:01:39She's my queen, we rock.
01:01:41She's practically my best friend.
01:01:43I should raise my rates.
01:01:46Um, excuse me one second.
01:01:48Sorry.
01:01:49Hey, sorry to interrupt,
01:01:51but Gwen's background check just came through.
01:01:53And?
01:01:54And looks like she just bought a commercial property in Soho.
01:01:56They bought?
01:01:57In cash, in her name.
01:01:59Days ago.
01:02:00Days ago she was telling me she couldn't make rent.
01:02:02Maybe Brad bought the property for Gwen.
01:02:04See, something's off, something is fishy.
01:02:06So maybe Brad's hiding money through Gwen.
01:02:08There's a legal term for hiding money.
01:02:10What did the forensic accountants say?
01:02:13They're finishing up.
01:02:14Okay, just tell them to please let me know whatever they find.
01:02:16Of course.
01:02:17Thanks.
01:02:29Hey.
01:02:30Hey.
01:02:33You look...
01:02:35stunning, as always.
01:02:37Ditto.
01:02:38I got you a present.
01:02:40Is it Oliver?
01:02:41Where are you, boy? Come here.
01:02:42No, no, no, it's not Oliver.
01:02:43Hopefully something just as good.
01:02:45Listen, honey, I just...
01:02:47I just want to say, with all the fighting...
01:02:48We're not fighting.
01:02:49Yes, we are, and it's okay.
01:02:51There's no one on the planet
01:02:53I would rather fight with more than you.
01:02:55For free, I mean.
01:02:57Me too.
01:02:58And soon this is all gonna be behind us,
01:03:00and it'll just be us again.
01:03:02Yeah, we just gotta get through court tomorrow, right?
01:03:04Are you nervous?
01:03:06I mean, no, but...
01:03:08I'm gonna anxiety spiral anyway.
01:03:10Hey, you're gonna do great.
01:03:12Because you always do great.
01:03:14And I'll be right there with you.
01:03:16Yeah, on the other side.
01:03:18No, on your side.
01:03:20Always.
01:03:22You say the sweetest things.
01:03:24Can I ask you a slightly tangential question?
01:03:27Of course, those are my favorites.
01:03:29Why did you want a prenup?
01:03:31I...
01:03:33We both wanted a prenup.
01:03:35No.
01:03:37Dana, you're the one who wanted the prenup.
01:03:47Honey...
01:03:49You got bread to come.
01:03:51How did you...
01:03:53Ah, yeah, your present.
01:03:55As I said, this is the best,
01:03:57and I believe in you, so...
01:03:59Now I just gotta figure out how I can keep this guy in check.
01:04:01Thank you. I'm gonna keep Tabby in check, too.
01:04:03All right. Divide and conquer.
01:04:07Okay, here we go.
01:04:09All right, let's grab you a drink.
01:04:11You cleaned up good.
01:04:13Hey.
01:04:15Last minute he decides to show up,
01:04:17he's trying to keep me off Keel.
01:04:19No, he's just trying to support you
01:04:21and raise some money for cancer research.
01:04:23I'm sure he's gonna do what he always does
01:04:25and make this about him.
01:04:27Tabby, isn't there any benefit of the doubt here?
01:04:29I mean, isn't there any good in him you can still find?
01:04:35Yeah.
01:04:37He looks great in a tux.
01:04:43Hey.
01:04:45Did you order ahead of time, or...?
01:04:47It's a classy event.
01:04:49Yeah.
01:04:51Is, uh, is Tabby looking?
01:04:57Huh?
01:04:59What's her face say?
01:05:01Her face says she's looking, Brad.
01:05:03Huh.
01:05:05Why don't you go over there and just congratulate her?
01:05:09Yeah.
01:05:11Or I could, uh, take the stage
01:05:13and, you know, make a speech about cancer or something.
01:05:15You know, it's very gracious of you.
01:05:17No, don't do that.
01:05:19Hey, hey, laughter's the best medicine.
01:05:21I think science would refute that.
01:05:23You know, what you could do
01:05:25is I think Tabby deserves a nice private hello.
01:05:27Okay? Okay?
01:05:29Could we have a quick sound bite?
01:05:31Uh, no. Yes.
01:05:33Great.
01:05:35Brad, what do you think about the hearing tomorrow?
01:05:37My client actually believes that it'll be a fair
01:05:39and equitable agreement that it'll be reached, so...
01:05:41No, I don't.
01:05:43I think what my lawyer keeps telling me,
01:05:45that he'd rather be on our side than the opponent's.
01:05:47Oh.
01:05:49Come on.
01:05:51It's just something I have to say. I can't disguise you.
01:05:53It's something you say when you think you're gonna win.
01:05:55Honey, winning would be us
01:05:57never seeing these two people again.
01:05:59You guys drive me insane.
01:06:03Uh...
01:06:05Are they flirting?
01:06:07I was kind of hoping you showed up.
01:06:09I missed you.
01:06:11What's happening?
01:06:13That red really compliments your lipstick.
01:06:17And your eyes.
01:06:19That is flirting. So maybe we did just win.
01:06:21Yes, we did.
01:06:23I love when you wear a tux.
01:06:25Yeah, it's a camo.
01:06:27Yeah, I noticed.
01:06:29That looks very...
01:06:31Oh, excuse me.
01:06:33Yeah.
01:06:35Excuse me.
01:06:37So we just got the forensic accounting report on Brett.
01:06:39We just got the forensic accounting on Tabby.
01:06:41She has offshore accounts.
01:06:43He has substantial poker winnings.
01:06:45He's invested internationally.
01:06:47Multiple untraceable businesses.
01:06:49He's hiding millions from her.
01:06:51She's hiding millions from him.
01:06:53I guess he's not as naive as he looks.
01:06:55I guess she's not as naive as she looks.
01:06:57I guess not.
01:06:59You were my everything.
01:07:01I'm your everything?
01:07:03No, no, no.
01:07:05Don't make it all about you. It always has to be about you.
01:07:07I was invited.
01:07:09No, you weren't.
01:07:11Okay, let's go.
01:07:13I got an e-mail.
01:07:15Let's get you a cold shower.
01:07:17Take a cheese toast.
01:07:19It's okay.
01:07:21You're safe.
01:07:35Why are you up so early?
01:07:37Why did you sleep on the couch?
01:07:39I guess I just, uh...
01:07:41I fell asleep out here.
01:07:43Look, about last night,
01:07:45I said some things I regret.
01:07:47And it's not just because
01:07:49I have much wittier
01:07:51retorts in the morning.
01:07:53Okay, noted.
01:07:55Hey.
01:07:57We're gonna figure it out, okay?
01:07:59We always do.
01:08:01Yeah, we always do.
01:08:03So, do you want to take
01:08:05Carla together?
01:08:07I'll get myself together.
01:08:09I'm gonna go over now.
01:08:11But, hey, I've got you covered.
01:08:13You're gonna do great.
01:08:31But what about
01:08:33that three-pointer in game five?
01:08:35Oh, come on.
01:08:37Legendary, right?
01:08:39Good to see you, Counselor.
01:08:41Well, let's get started.
01:08:43Stay friendly with the judge?
01:08:45I'm a friendly guy.
01:08:47So, what do you think?
01:08:49I think
01:08:51we're gonna do our very best.
01:08:53No, I mean my outfit.
01:08:55I think it screams I deserve
01:08:57all the marital property.
01:08:59Yeah.
01:09:01Is this gonna take long?
01:09:03CrossFit's at three, so...
01:09:05Counsel, do we have
01:09:07assets in question and arguments
01:09:09ready?
01:09:11Your Honor, yes, we do.
01:09:19Counselor?
01:09:25May I just have one second, please?
01:09:27Take all the time you need.
01:09:33Contract for 30,
01:09:35arrested at 11.
01:09:41Your Honor, due to recent findings,
01:09:43I would like to request a brief recess.
01:09:45We just got started.
01:09:47Now, why do you need a recess?
01:09:49I need to perform due diligence, as new evidence
01:09:51has been brought to our attention that would affect
01:09:53the financial structure of the settlement.
01:09:55I'm sure the court would hate to see us punt
01:09:57rather than trying
01:09:59an end around.
01:10:01You're in luck that I missed breakfast.
01:10:05Court is at recess for an hour.
01:10:11Give me the address on the commercial property, Gwenbot.
01:10:13Hang tight. I'll be right back.
01:10:15Okay.
01:10:17Shouldn't you be in court?
01:10:19Yes, I should be. What is this?
01:10:21What is Gwen's Glutes?
01:10:23My new Pilates studio, slash
01:10:25method acting workshop.
01:10:27So is that what contract 31st
01:10:29at 11 means? Because this is...
01:10:31this is the 31st.
01:10:33And this is your new commercial space?
01:10:35This space? How did you afford this?
01:10:37Did Brett buy this for you with money?
01:10:39No, he didn't.
01:10:41No, he didn't.
01:10:43No, he didn't.
01:10:45What is this? Did Brett buy this for you with money?
01:10:47He's hiding from Tabby. Do I need a lawyer?
01:10:49If you're an accomplice in laundering money,
01:10:51then yes. I'm not laundering money.
01:10:53This was purchased... Then tell it to the judge.
01:10:55I'm not the villain here. You know what? This has become a little too much.
01:10:57You can come to court and tell the truth, please.
01:11:01Or I'll tell what I think is the truth.
01:11:15What is she doing here?
01:11:17You're my best friend and you stole my husband.
01:11:19I never stole him.
01:11:21All the time we spent together was Brett talking about
01:11:23how much he loved you.
01:11:25Asking how he could fix your rift and win you back.
01:11:27I never had a chance.
01:11:29What?
01:11:31Even if I wanted him,
01:11:33how could I ever compare with perfect Tabby?
01:11:35Order! Order!
01:11:37Order!
01:11:39Is that true?
01:11:41Every single word.
01:11:43Every single word.
01:11:45I have loved you
01:11:47from the moment I met you, even now.
01:11:49Oh, Brettie, me too.
01:11:51I'm so sorry for everything.
01:11:53No, baby, it's not your fault.
01:11:55It was the lawyers.
01:11:57They pressured us into getting divorced.
01:11:59They really did. What?
01:12:01I'm sorry, what's that? Yeah, it's true, they did.
01:12:03They did, but...
01:12:05I don't want to live without you.
01:12:07Well, then...
01:12:09Will you marry me again?
01:12:11You don't really have to ask her to marry you again.
01:12:13Yeah, you guys never were divorced in the first place, but...
01:12:15Of course I'll marry you, my love.
01:12:17Again.
01:12:19Yes.
01:12:23Forever and ever.
01:12:25Yeah, and we'll have the biggest wedding.
01:12:27Yeah, and you're all invited.
01:12:29All of you.
01:12:31Or you can bid on photos of the event.
01:12:33You can bid on photos of the event.
01:12:49Extra salt and butter.
01:12:51Both sides. Good.
01:12:53I'm gonna need more popcorn.
01:12:55Today was a disaster.
01:12:57It was a disaster.
01:12:59Terrible.

01:13:19And I'm Brett Noble.
01:13:21And please join us for Noble Love on Reality Reel.
01:13:25I'm sorry, excuse me,
01:13:27they have a new show?
01:13:29Is this their marriage counseling?
01:13:31Live.
01:13:33They were divorcing this morning.
01:13:35How in the world could they pull this together so quickly?
01:13:37They didn't.
01:13:41Hey, Gwen, we really need to talk.
01:13:43You don't want to mess with lawyers, Gwen.
01:13:45We serve injunctions for breakfast.
01:13:53So what's the game here?
01:13:55They were never divorcing? Was this a stunt?
01:13:57Yeah.
01:13:59It was all a con.
01:14:01They haven't been able to sell a show in a while,
01:14:03so they came up with this.
01:14:05They paid me to go along with it,
01:14:07promised to buy me the video.
01:14:09Then they made me the villain at every turn.
01:14:11Why? I mean, how?
01:14:13This doesn't make any sense.
01:14:15There were so many private moments.
01:14:17They weren't filming.
01:14:19No, they were.
01:14:21They recorded all of it,
01:14:23planning to use it all for the show.
01:14:25Because that's what they do best.
01:14:27But whatever, your firm's got paid,
01:14:29and everyone gets a happy ending.
01:14:31Everyone except us.
01:14:33Right.
01:14:37The nobles were lying.
01:14:39There was never going to be a divorce.
01:14:41This is fraud.
01:14:43Let's be careful with terminology.
01:14:45Fraud is a grave accusation.
01:14:47And to be forthright, however belatedly...
01:14:49Paula and I knew.
01:14:51Not at first,
01:14:53but the reality reel cleared it with us.
01:14:55What are you talking about?
01:14:57I'm sorry, excuse me? What?
01:14:59We never imagined it would go this far.
01:15:01And we never would have gone along with it
01:15:03if we'd known it would negatively affect you.
01:15:05Why would you guys even do this?
01:15:07Partners thought it would be good for our firm.
01:15:09And I thought it would be good
01:15:11both for Tabby and for your career
01:15:13and for Jackie's legacy fund.
01:15:15I didn't think it would avalanche like this,
01:15:17but ultimately,
01:15:19we wanted them to reconcile, and they did.
01:15:21Well, was it misguided and self-serving? Yes.
01:15:23But did they pay their bills on time and in full?
01:15:25Also yes,
01:15:27which is more than I can say about most clients.
01:15:29You see, what's happened here
01:15:31has brought us full circle back to the lower integrity joke.
01:15:35Wow.
01:15:37You know what the worst part is?
01:15:39Everyone's raving about noble love.
01:15:41That's not the worst part.
01:15:43The worst part is they got away with it.
01:15:45Okay, guys, look.
01:15:47If they're happy, just let them be happy.
01:15:49How can they be happy if they're still lying to each other?
01:15:51I mean, Brett is hiding money from Tabby.
01:15:53And Tabby's hiding money from Brett.
01:15:55No, they're never gonna be happy
01:15:57until they get truthful.
01:15:59Well, maybe it's our job to get them truthful.
01:16:01You know, to heal them.
01:16:03Okay, Gwen, I'm sorry, guys,
01:16:05but this sounds less like therapy
01:16:07and more like some sort of revenge cabal.
01:16:09I'm out, babe.
01:16:11I'm also out.
01:16:13Fine, but help me with this.
01:16:15Where can I find a great actor?
01:16:17You know, TJ's a great actor, right?
01:16:19Ah, there you go.
01:16:21Come here, sit down.
01:16:23Look at that face.
01:16:25You act?
01:16:27Yeah.
01:16:29Method?
01:16:31Strasburg all the way.
01:16:33How would you like the role of a lifetime?
01:16:35Who would I be playing?
01:16:37My husband.
01:16:39I can method act that.
01:16:41I kind of feel like we shouldn't be here.
01:16:47Half cheddar ranch,
01:16:49half peanut butter cup.
01:16:51Mmm, delicious combo.
01:16:53Maybe just not at the same time.
01:16:55No, I don't think that'd be the best idea.
01:16:57That is good.
01:16:59Oh, you think we should have stopped this?
01:17:01I don't think we would have much of a chance
01:17:03to stop anything.
01:17:05Gwen's on a mission.
01:17:07Besides, they don't need noble love,
01:17:09they need tough love.
01:17:11Good one, honey.
01:17:13You gonna have a seat here?
01:17:15Ah, thanks.
01:17:17Perfect.
01:17:19I love this jacket.
01:17:21Gwen?
01:17:23Wait, you're not married?
01:17:25Yes, I am.
01:17:27This is my husband, T.J.
01:17:29I kept him a secret because I know
01:17:31how you two love secrets.
01:17:33Hey, bro.
01:17:35I dug all your shows.
01:17:37I'm also a thespian.
01:17:39I'm headlining a play right now.
01:17:41Like on Broadway?
01:17:43It's not, bro.
01:17:45Well, where should we begin?
01:17:53We're back on Noble Love,
01:17:55where love begins again.
01:17:57Starting...
01:17:59with us.
01:18:01And today we have a very
01:18:03special couple with us.
01:18:05My best friend and assistant,
01:18:07Gwen.
01:18:09I thought I was fired from both of those roles.
01:18:11What are you talking about?
01:18:13And my man, T.J. over here.
01:18:15Fellow thespian.
01:18:17I can't believe Luca got him on the show.
01:18:19Well, you know Luca.
01:18:21He knows people and knows people.
01:18:23What is the biggest issue
01:18:25in your marriage?
01:18:27Well, I'm sad to say that Gwen has been
01:18:29hiding money from me.
01:18:31T.J.'s also been hiding money from me.
01:18:33We've had great success with the businesses
01:18:35we've built together, but then
01:18:37Gwen moved our profits to secret accounts.
01:18:39While T.J.'s been hiding his Vegas winnings
01:18:41in overseas funds.
01:18:47Well, I can see
01:18:49how that would affect your marriage
01:18:51as trust is
01:18:53the foundation of love.
01:18:55And love meets trust
01:18:57the way sunshine
01:18:59and flowers meet each other.
01:19:01That's right, but there's more.
01:19:03T.J. also ran
01:19:05a background check on me.
01:19:07Well,
01:19:09that is a total invasion
01:19:11of privacy.
01:19:13Yeah, if someone did that to me,
01:19:15I would be very, very upset.
01:19:17Yeah, me too.
01:19:19Um...
01:19:23That's unbelievable.
01:19:25You think they'll make it?
01:19:27You think they'll be okay?
01:19:29Yeah, you know, I do.
01:19:31You know, it's something new for both of them.
01:19:33Something honest.
01:19:35Something real.
01:19:39Do you think we'll be okay?
01:19:41Do you?
01:19:45Yeah, I do.
01:19:49I actually know it.
01:19:51I mean, there isn't much
01:19:53that's certain in life, but
01:19:55you're as close as it gets.
01:19:59Honey, I know
01:20:01I can overthink
01:20:03and overworry
01:20:05and become fatalistic.
01:20:07Well, you will.
01:20:11I wouldn't want any other life
01:20:13than the life I have with you,
01:20:15whatever that looks like.
01:20:19And I know I said
01:20:21the most important decision we can make
01:20:23is having a child,
01:20:25but I think I was wrong.
01:20:29I think the most important decision we make
01:20:31is who we share our life with.
