00:00:00Because I know you told me she's a poor orphan, but you didn't tell me she's also trailer
00:00:24trash.
00:00:25Funny.
00:00:26He didn't tell me his new girlfriend was a slut, either.
00:00:29Crap, Maya.
00:00:30He called.
00:00:31We're here.
00:00:32What do you want?
00:00:33I just don't want a two-timing asshole in my life anymore.
00:00:36Here's the bill for everything you owe me.
00:00:38Tuition, half the rent, expenses.
00:00:42$25,750.75.
00:00:46How paid can you be?
00:00:47Very.
00:00:48But, just because I don't want to see either of your faces ever again, $25,000 were called
00:00:53even.
00:00:54You've become such a greedy skank.
00:00:56Me?
00:00:57Greedy?
00:00:58You're the one who cheated on me after mooching off me for years.
00:01:02Hey.
00:01:05Maya, please tell me the numbers you're punching in aren't for Brooks.
00:01:09It's just for him to stay in school.
00:01:11You know how he can stay in school?
00:01:12As if he gets a job.
00:01:13I mean, why is it up to you to get him through law school anyway?
00:01:18Maya, are you okay?
00:01:21Yeah, I'm fine.
00:01:23I'm just slightly headed.
00:01:26You're selling blood?
00:01:27On top of working three side hustles?
00:01:29Are you crazy?
00:01:30Liz, I'm fine.
00:01:31It's just for him to stay in law school.
00:01:33Please don't tell anyone.
00:01:35I supported you for five years, Brooks.
00:01:37I put you through law school.
00:01:39I believed in you.
00:01:40I loved you.
00:01:41And how do you repay me?
00:01:42By crawling into her bed?
00:01:43Don't play the victim card.
00:01:45I didn't ask you to do all that.
00:01:46Oh, my God.
00:01:48Oh, my God.
00:01:50You think Brooks will stay with you for $25,000?
00:01:53You're so desperate.
00:01:55How's $30,000?
00:01:57A little extra just for you.
00:01:59Money can't buy you class, but now you can try.
00:02:03Why?
00:02:04It's not like it worked for you.
00:02:06Is that so?
00:02:08Here you go.
00:02:12Now kneel down on the ground and pick it up like the little desperate peasant girl you are.
00:02:17Pick it up.
00:02:20For what?
00:02:21Don't get your paw on me.
00:02:26Maya, apologize right now.
00:02:28Sorry.
00:02:30I heard you were lactose intolerant.
00:02:32Don't.
00:02:33People are watching.
00:02:37This is far from over.
00:02:41Ethan Armstrong, I have had it with you.
00:02:44You promised me a wedding today.
00:02:46Grandma, it's not my fault.
00:02:48She never showed up.
00:02:49Oh, please.
00:02:51Like I don't know you're still holding out for your childhood love, Stella Everett.
00:02:56Ethan, it's been 17 years.
00:02:59It's time to move on, to get married.
00:03:02I completely agree.
00:03:11Baby, there you are.
00:03:13What?
00:03:15We were supposed to meet Grandma tonight?
00:03:20Yes.
00:03:21Grandma, I'm your future granddaughter-in-law.
00:03:24Oh.
00:03:25She reminds me of Stella.
00:03:29I'll always find you.
00:03:33It's so nice to meet you.
00:03:35Maya.
00:03:36Maya Moore.
00:03:39You didn't tell your grandma about me?
00:03:41I wanted to surprise her.
00:03:43What a wonderful surprise it is.
00:03:46So, what time are you two getting married today?
00:03:50Should I play along?
00:03:52Right now.
00:03:54Right.
00:03:55Right now?
00:03:57Yep.
00:03:58Oh, that's wonderful.
00:04:01I always thought there was something romantic about eloping to a courthouse.
00:04:06Definitely.
00:04:08I like him.
00:04:09I guess he is kind of hot.
00:04:12Congratulations.
00:04:15So, Mr. Armstrong, do you know any good divorce lawyers?
00:04:21Thank you so much for your help.
00:04:23Maya, is it?
00:04:26Yeah.
00:04:28Maya.
00:04:29Or I could call you Mrs. Armstrong.
00:04:32What?
00:04:33Do you mind if we keep this thing going?
00:04:35Because my grandma is going to be on me like a hawk.
00:04:41Oh, yeah.
00:04:42I almost forgot.
00:04:44This is for all your troubles.
00:04:45Passcode is six zeros.
00:04:47And it would be way more convincing if you moved in with me.
00:04:52I'm sorry.
00:04:54What?
00:04:55Oh, I didn't even ask.
00:04:56Do you have a boyfriend?
00:04:58Not anymore.
00:04:59He's dead to me.
00:05:00Perfect.
00:05:03I have to go.
00:05:05I'll talk to you later, Mrs. Armstrong.
00:05:11Wait.
00:05:12When are we getting divorced?
00:05:16Hello, Ethan, my boy.
00:05:18Mr. Everett.
00:05:19You ever going to call me grandpa?
00:05:20You practically lived at my house when you were a kid.
00:05:23Mr. Everett, it seems more appropriate now that we're going to be working together.
00:05:27Are you telling me that the Armstrong-Everett merger went through?
00:05:32How did you ever convince your grandma to get those board votes that she needed?
00:05:36I gave her what she wanted.
00:05:39I got married.
00:05:43Married?
00:05:44Yes.
00:05:45To a great girl.
00:05:46That's just great.
00:05:47I didn't think you'd ever get over Stella's disappearance, but I'm glad you did, son.
00:05:57Well, I want you to have a good life.
00:05:59Thanks, grandpa.
00:06:01I guess we'll discuss this more when I see you at the office.
00:06:04All right.
00:06:10My beautiful granddaughter.
00:06:12I can't believe it's been 17 years since you disappeared.
00:06:25So, did you take care of that cheating rat and his Minnie Mouse?
00:06:28Of course.
00:06:29You should have seen that bitch's face when I threw a coffee at him.
00:06:35Maya Moore, I don't know how you find the time to gossip when your KPI is here in the toilet.
00:06:40We want to interview with the CEO of Armstrong Enterprises.
00:06:43Make it happen or you're fired.
00:06:45Mr. Armstrong is the youngest tycoon on Wall Street.
00:06:48Even the New York Times needs months in advance to get an interview with him.
00:06:51Oh, I'm sorry.
00:06:52Did anyone hear me ask Liz for her opinion?
00:06:55You have 72 hours.
00:06:57Oh, and there are some boxes in the storage closet in case you want to get a head start in clearing out your desk.
00:07:08Oh, my God.
00:07:11That's my husband.
00:07:12Oh, my God, that's him.
00:07:14That's my husband.
00:07:15Mr. Armstrong is known for being a dick in interviews.
00:07:18What did you do to piss the old witch off?
00:07:20I didn't do anything.
00:07:23Teresa, you have to kick her out of the company.
00:07:25Maya Moore is ruining my life.
00:07:27Oh, don't you worry, pumpkin.
00:07:29I'll deal with her.
00:07:30Thank you, auntie.
00:07:31Anything for my favorite niece.
00:07:41Miss me already?
00:07:42You're the Ethan Armstrong?
00:07:45Why didn't you say anything?
00:07:46You never asked.
00:07:47Is something wrong?
00:07:48No.
00:07:50Well, I do have a small favor to ask you.
00:07:54A big favor.
00:07:56You're my wife.
00:07:57There's no such thing as a favor between us, Mrs. Armstrong.
00:08:01Well, the publication I work for would like to invite you to do an interview with us.
00:08:08I am a very busy man.
00:08:12I am a very busy man.
00:08:15Oh, no, of course.
00:08:17It's impossible to get an interview with you for good reason, obviously.
00:08:21Maya, relax.
00:08:22I'm just playing with you.
00:08:23Of course I'll do it.
00:08:26That's it?
00:08:27No need to think it over?
00:08:29What's there to think about?
00:08:31You're my wife.
00:08:32If you ask, I'm there.
00:08:34Well, that's very kind.
00:08:37I'll see you later, Mrs. Armstrong.
00:08:44I could get used to this whole marriage thing.
00:08:53What do you want?
00:08:54I just got us an exclusive interview with Ethan Armstrong.
00:08:59I just got us an exclusive interview with Ethan Armstrong.
00:09:03Maya, you can't just lie to save your sorry ass.
00:09:06Did I just hear something about an exclusive interview with Ethan Armstrong?
00:09:09Yes, I set it up and he said yes.
00:09:12Family connections, you know.
00:09:14Wow, I knew it was a good idea to hire a Baldwin.
00:09:16Ms. Baldwin, now that I got us an exclusive interview with Ethan Armstrong, do you need anything else?
00:09:21Wait, you got us the interview?
00:09:23I did, sir.
00:09:24Have you ever interviewed anyone before?
00:09:26Oh, I'm afraid she's not experienced enough.
00:09:28I'll do it.
00:09:29After all, as we just said, I'm a Baldwin.
00:09:32I run in these circles.
00:09:34Well, you may be a Baldwin, but Moore just got us the interview.
00:09:36Do you think you can handle it?
00:09:38I'd be honored.
00:09:40Settled, then.
00:09:41Thank you, Mr. Cole.
00:09:43I will not let you down.
00:09:44No problem.
00:09:45Why did you do that?
00:09:47What?
00:09:48Tell the truth?
00:09:50Here.
00:10:00Questions for the interview.
00:10:03What about the questions I handed in yesterday?
00:10:06Those questions weren't approved.
00:10:08Mr. Cole would like you to use that draft.
00:10:19Mr. Armstrong is here.
00:10:41Hello, Mr. Armstrong.
00:10:43I'm Maya Moore.
00:10:46Have we met before?
00:10:50Have we met before?
00:10:52I think we might have.
00:10:55I'll be live-streaming our interview today.
00:10:57Shall we start?
00:10:58Let's do it.
00:11:02So, Mr. Armstrong, people have been speculating that you've been single all these years because you like men.
00:11:11What the hell is wrong with her?
00:11:14She's acting like we're TMZ.
00:11:16She's so unprofessional.
00:11:18Well, then, I have a little secret for you.
00:11:25I actually just got married to an incredible woman.
00:11:31Did you hear that?
00:11:32He just got married.
00:11:34Maya might have just scored the biggest exclusive ever.
00:11:40How many relationships have you been in?
00:11:45Mr. Cole, our followers are growing like crazy.
00:11:48What?
00:11:50This is outstanding.
00:11:54Thank you so much for your time today, Mr. Armstrong.
00:11:59I'll pick you up after work, Mrs. Armstrong.
00:12:03That was outstanding, Mr. Armstrong.
00:12:06Congratulations on your marriage.
00:12:08I really thank Miss Moore.
00:12:10It was an honor.
00:12:11Of course.
00:12:12You will be getting a raise.
00:12:13Right this way, Mr. Armstrong.
00:12:17What the hell were those questions today?
00:12:19Oh, I'm sorry.
00:12:20Were you talking to me?
00:12:22I don't speak sluts.
00:12:23Stop picking on me.
00:12:24I'm serious.
00:12:25Or it will be war.
00:12:38What do you want, Pete?
00:12:39Come on.
00:12:40I raised you for ten years.
00:12:41I gave you my last name.
00:12:42The least you can do is call me Dad.
00:12:44Fine.
00:12:45What do you want, Dad?
00:12:46I want to know why you're such a fucking bitch.
00:12:48Huh?
00:12:49You broke up with Brooks right after he became a lawyer and started making money?
00:12:52He cheated on me.
00:12:53I don't give a flying fuck.
00:12:56You come down to the parking lot right now.
00:13:06What's going on?
00:13:07Hey, do you remember when I first found you?
00:13:09Such a grandiose little orphan in the middle of nowhere.
00:13:12Huh?
00:13:13I took you in.
00:13:14Don't you think it's time to get a little bit of return on my investment?
00:13:19Investment?
00:13:20What are you talking about?
00:13:21Shut up.
00:13:22Just shut up.
00:13:23Okay, I get it.
00:13:24You don't want Brooks.
00:13:26Remember Leon?
00:13:27I still owe him a hundred grand.
00:13:29Okay?
00:13:30He said he will waive it if I bring you to him.
00:13:35Are you serious?
00:13:36You're going to sell your own daughter to the mob?
00:13:38What kind of father are you?
00:13:40Lily, now I'm your fucking dad.
00:13:41Please.
00:13:42Okay?
00:13:43Huh?
00:13:44That's the least you can do for my trouble.
00:13:45Now take her in the car.
00:13:46Sir, something's wrong.
00:13:51They said Mrs. Armstrong had left, but when I checked the security tapes, I think she's
00:13:55been kidnapped.
00:13:56Call my security team.
00:13:58And find Maya.
00:13:59Now.
00:14:01There's my daughter.
00:14:04I promised.
00:14:05There's Leon.
00:14:06Good.
00:14:07A deal's a deal.
00:14:09Look at you.
00:14:15The big city's been real nice to you, hasn't it?
00:14:20Touch me and I'll kill you.
00:14:23Feisty.
00:14:25I like that.
00:14:27Fucking bitch.
00:14:29Fucking bitch!
00:14:33Hey!
00:14:37Get off my wife!
00:14:50Who the hell are you?
00:14:54That girl belonged to me!
00:14:56Shut him up!
00:14:59Are you hurt?
00:15:01No, I'm okay.
00:15:11Now...
00:15:13We're even.
00:15:15Hey, hey.
00:15:17It's okay.
00:15:19I got you now.
00:15:28No.
00:15:37Do you want to talk about it?
00:15:40You don't have to.
00:15:42No, it's...
00:15:44It's okay.
00:15:47When I was ten years old,
00:15:49I was found in the middle of nowhere with no memory.
00:15:51Hey.
00:15:57Hey.
00:15:59You okay?
00:16:01Would you like some of this?
00:16:03Pete Moore found me.
00:16:05I couldn't even remember my real name.
00:16:07So he tried to find my family and couldn't.
00:16:09Good.
00:16:11So he named me Maya,
00:16:13and he raised me himself.
00:16:15But as you can see today,
00:16:17he loved me.
00:16:1917 years.
00:16:2117 years?
00:16:23Yeah.
00:16:2517 years in June.
00:16:39We need to do some digging into Maya's foster father.
00:16:43And set up a meeting with Mr. Everett.
00:16:45We need to talk about his granddaughter.
00:16:49I'll do nothing.
00:16:51Shut up.
00:16:53You touched someone who's not yours.
00:16:55What the fuck?
00:16:57Pete said no one was going to come looking for that bitch.
00:16:59Make it known, scumbag.
00:17:01She's with me now.
00:17:03No one touches her.
00:17:09Tell me everything you know about Maya's foster father.
00:17:11Pete?
00:17:13There's nothing to tell.
00:17:15Where were we?
00:17:17I don't know. He's just a lowlife.
00:17:19We work in the same circles.
00:17:21Which is?
00:17:23It's petty crimes, boss.
00:17:25Low-level, scamming old ladies and shit like that.
00:17:27Why did he adopt Maya?
00:17:29Well, shit if I know.
00:17:31I don't know. I don't know.
00:17:33He just showed up one day with a new kid and a new car.
00:17:35A new car?
00:17:37The kind he couldn't afford. That's all I know, I swear.
00:17:41Take care of him.
00:17:43Wait!
00:17:45What do you want me to do?
00:17:47Yeah, but you touched my wife.
00:17:49I can't let that go.
00:17:53Okay.
00:17:55Come on. What the hell, huh?
00:17:57He's not talking, boss.
00:17:59Look, there is no story.
00:18:01I found the girl. I took her in.
00:18:03I mean, I'm just a nice guy.
00:18:05A nice guy who sold his daughter?
00:18:07Look, I know I'm not a saint, but...
00:18:09I mean...
00:18:11Who the hell are you to stick your nose into my business anyway?
00:18:13I'm Maya's family now.
00:18:17Leon said that you showed up with Maya in a car you couldn't afford.
00:18:19How did you get it?
00:18:21I can't remember.
00:18:25Just...
00:18:27Your ride's here.
00:18:29Some time in a cell might do you some good.
00:18:31Jog your memory.
00:18:33We can talk this out, man.
00:18:35If you suddenly remember how you found Maya,
00:18:37give me a call.
00:18:39But never talk to Maya again.
00:18:41Okay.
00:18:51Ethan, is this your house?
00:18:53Our house.
00:18:55If you want.
00:18:59You're bleeding.
00:19:01It's not mine.
00:19:11Oh, good.
00:19:13You're both here.
00:19:15Since I didn't get a chance to give you a wedding present,
00:19:17I brought you a little something.
00:19:19Grandma, you've done too much already.
00:19:21Oh, nonsense.
00:19:23Nothing is too much
00:19:25for my granddaughter-in-law.
00:19:27Now, I'm gonna go and make us some tea.
00:19:31Grandma likes you a lot.
00:19:35Nothing gets you ready for bed
00:19:37like some peppermint tea.
00:19:41And some aphrodisiac.
00:19:45I'm going to be having some great grandbabies
00:19:47very soon.
00:19:57Are you sure you want me to stay here?
00:19:59I could just take an Uber home.
00:20:01No. Stay.
00:20:03It's late.
00:20:05Are you sure you're feeling okay?
00:20:07You look like you have a fever.
00:20:09I'm... I'm fine.
00:20:11I just need to throw some cold water on my face.
00:20:13I'll be alright.
00:20:15Have a good night.
00:20:21Grandma? Hello?
00:20:23What's wrong with the door?
00:20:25It's Grandma.
00:20:27She...
00:20:29left this in here.
00:20:39She...
00:20:41left this in here.
00:20:49She...
00:20:51left this in here.
00:21:05Are you sure you're not sick?
00:21:09You feel kind of hot.
00:21:15Do I?
00:21:21Um, I'm sorry.
00:21:23I think Grandma put something in my tea.
00:21:25I'm just gonna
00:21:27wash my face and cool off.
00:21:39Okay.
00:21:57Oh my gosh!
00:21:59Why? Is that a Serrano?
00:22:01A Serrano? I don't know.
00:22:03I got it as a gift.
00:22:05As if anyone would give you a $20,000 bag.
00:22:07It's probably some cheap fake
00:22:09you plucked out of the same dumpster you came from.
00:22:11I'd be careful, Ms. Baldwin.
00:22:13You know, jealousy ages people.
00:22:15Or maybe it already has?
00:22:17You really know how to run your mouth, Ms. Moore.
00:22:19Not for very much longer.
00:22:21Mr. Armstrong just bought our journal.
00:22:23Wait, what?
00:22:25He's gonna get you back for that interview.
00:22:27If I were you, I'd quit now.
00:22:29Speaking of the devil,
00:22:31looks like our new boss is here.
00:22:37♪
00:22:39♪
00:23:05Ms. Moore,
00:23:07Mr. Armstrong would like to see you.
00:23:13You wanted to see me,
00:23:15sir?
00:23:17Sir?
00:23:19That's not what you called me last night.
00:23:25I am so sorry, sir,
00:23:27that Maya just barged in here so rudely.
00:23:29It hurts me to say this, but
00:23:31she's become a liability to the company.
00:23:33And I think she should leave permanently.
00:23:37Tell me, how is she a liability?
00:23:39Well, she humiliated you in that interview, sir.
00:23:41You think I should be embarrassed?
00:23:43No, no, no.
00:23:45You came off very well.
00:23:47But, um, Maya,
00:23:49she also disrespects her superiors.
00:23:51And she bosses her colleagues around.
00:23:53She really is just poisoning the company.
00:23:55That sounds more like Ms. Baldwin's introduction.
00:23:57You're a Baldwin?
00:23:59Yes. Yes, I am.
00:24:01Well, I've heard enough.
00:24:03You're fired.
00:24:05You hear that?
00:24:07Why don't you go gather your things, and don't let the door
00:24:09hit your trailer-trash ass on the way out.
00:24:11I was talking to you,
00:24:13not her.
00:24:17What? Wait, no.
00:24:19This is a mistake. Why would you...
00:24:21I don't owe you an explanation.
00:24:23You're not worth my time.
00:24:25I'm a Baldwin.
00:24:27And what's a Baldwin compared to an Armstrong?
00:24:31Come get Mrs. Baldwin out of here.
00:24:35Savannah was right.
00:24:37You really are a nasty little bitch.
00:24:39Wait, how do you know Savannah?
00:24:41Wait, how do you know Savannah?
00:24:43She's my niece.
00:24:45Baldwins stick together.
00:24:47I see. I can smell the junkyard
00:24:49you both came out of right now.
00:24:51This is a mistake. She's just some sort of stray dog
00:24:53off the farm. She's nobody.
00:24:55I'm a Baldwin. A Baldwin.
00:24:59And what's a Baldwin
00:25:01compared to an Armstrong?
00:25:03Hmm? Mrs. Armstrong?
00:25:07Not in the office.
00:25:09Okay.
00:25:11We'll wait for it tonight.
00:25:15So who is this
00:25:17Savannah, anyway?
00:25:19She's my ex-boyfriend's current girlfriend.
00:25:21He left me after I put him
00:25:23through law school for five years.
00:25:25You don't have to worry about him anymore.
00:25:27I think you've moved on to something
00:25:29better.
00:25:31And
00:25:33bigger.
00:25:35You're not supposed to kiss at the office.
00:25:37We're not kissing.
00:25:39Mr. Armstrong,
00:25:41I really need to get going to your next meeting.
00:25:43You know Mr. Everett doesn't like to wait.
00:25:47Everett?
00:25:49Everett?
00:25:51Are you familiar with the Everetts?
00:25:53Everyone knows
00:25:55the Everett Corporation, right?
00:25:57Right.
00:25:59There you go.
00:26:01Office.
00:26:03I'll see you later.
00:26:15You're late.
00:26:17I was chasing down a lead.
00:26:19Oh, some new contracts?
00:26:21No, about your granddaughter.
00:26:25Is she fine still?
00:26:29Did you find Stella?
00:26:31Well, it's not for sure,
00:26:33but I really think... Stop right there.
00:26:35It's enough. How many years
00:26:37have I held on to the hope that we'd find Stella, huh?
00:26:39Only to be
00:26:41disappointed again and again.
00:26:43This time could be different.
00:26:45You know,
00:26:47I've met with nearly a hundred women.
00:26:49Every one of them swearing they were my granddaughter.
00:26:51And each time, I say to myself,
00:26:53this could be it.
00:26:55You know, I'll find Stella again.
00:26:57There's just another person
00:26:59trying to trick me so they can get their hands on the
00:27:01Everett fortune.
00:27:03You really think I would try to trick you?
00:27:05I thought you
00:27:07trusted me.
00:27:09Of course I do.
00:27:11I practically raised you.
00:27:13For a long time, I even
00:27:15thought you'd eventually be my
00:27:17grandson-in-law.
00:27:19I just can't
00:27:21keep getting my hopes up, kid.
00:27:23My heart won't take it.
00:27:25Nathan, just please, okay?
00:27:27Move on, kid.
00:27:29I guess it's time for me to move on, too.
00:27:31The timelines
00:27:33can't be a coincidence.
00:27:35Fine.
00:27:37Yeah, alright.
00:27:39Geez. No more of this.
00:27:41Hey, let's
00:27:43talk about
00:27:45your loved one, your wife, alright? How about that?
00:27:47Yeah.
00:27:49I think you two should meet.
00:27:55What?
00:28:03I just got off.
00:28:05You said not at the office.
00:28:09We're not at the office.
00:28:25Oh.
00:28:27Look what time it is.
00:28:29Don't you know Nathan has to go to work?
00:28:31And where's breakfast?
00:28:33Is this how you serve your husband?
00:28:35I'm sorry, who are you?
00:28:37I'm your mother-in-law.
00:28:39But not for long.
00:28:41For a nasty little gold digger like you,
00:28:43money talks.
00:28:45Tell me how much you want to leave my son
00:28:47and I will give it to you.
00:28:49I'm sorry.
00:28:51I'm sorry.
00:28:53I'm sorry.
00:28:55Ma'am, I didn't marry Ethan for money.
00:28:57And if you have a problem with our marriage,
00:28:59it's Ethan you should be talking to, not me.
00:29:01How dare you talk to me like that?
00:29:03You don't belong here.
00:29:05The only one
00:29:07who doesn't belong here is you, Mother.
00:29:09Ethan,
00:29:11you are the sole heir
00:29:13to the Armstrongs.
00:29:15You cannot marry a woman like this.
00:29:17You don't even know what kind of cave
00:29:19she crawled out from under.
00:29:21I'm not going to have this.
00:29:23You two are going to get divorced today.
00:29:27You two are going to get divorced today.
00:29:29No, we're not.
00:29:31I am your mother.
00:29:33You will not choose some whore
00:29:35over me.
00:29:37What right do you have to call yourself a mother?
00:29:39You gave birth to me and then you flew off to Europe.
00:29:41Mr. Everett and the nanny raised me.
00:29:43Ethan, I may not have been able to be there
00:29:45for you,
00:29:47but I am here now
00:29:49trying to protect our family.
00:29:51My family is just
00:29:53Maya and me and it doesn't include you.
00:29:59Maya and I are going to work.
00:30:01And Mother?
00:30:03Don't come back.
00:30:11I'm sorry about my mother.
00:30:13I hate that she hurt you.
00:30:15I'm fine.
00:30:17I'm
00:30:19actually more worried about you.
00:30:21Sounds like she wasn't around
00:30:23when you needed her to be.
00:30:25It worked out.
00:30:27My dad passed when I was young,
00:30:29but I knew he loved me.
00:30:31And I always had
00:30:33Mr. Everett.
00:30:35I guess we're both
00:30:37orphans in a way.
00:30:41But we have each other now.
00:30:47Did you ever try to find
00:30:49your real family?
00:30:51Did you ever try
00:30:53to find your real family?
00:30:55Pete filed a police report when he first found
00:30:57me, but no one ever came
00:30:59for me. As I got older, I thought I would
00:31:01look myself, but I had zero leads.
00:31:03It just never
00:31:05seemed worth it to get my hopes up.
00:31:07I understand.
00:31:11I gotta make a phone call.
00:31:13You go inside and I'll be right there.
00:31:17Okay.
00:31:27Hey.
00:31:29I need you to check in on a police report.
00:31:31Have you got a chance to look this up yet?
00:31:35Oh my god, is that the Helena
00:31:37Jones, the famous actress?
00:31:41This is Helena Jones,
00:31:43a longtime friend of the family.
00:31:45She and Ethan have known one another for nearly
00:31:4720 years.
00:31:49This is Helena Jones.
00:31:53Maya Moore.
00:31:55It's nice to meet you.
00:31:57Sorry, I just washed my hands.
00:31:59I'm Ethan's mother.
00:32:01And I'd like you all
00:32:03to meet his fiance,
00:32:05Helena Jones.
00:32:07And let this be a friendly reminder to all
00:32:09you gold diggers trying to claw
00:32:11your way into high class.
00:32:15Are you okay?
00:32:17Yeah. I'm gonna go grab something.
00:32:29I know about you
00:32:31and Ethan.
00:32:33I know about you
00:32:35and Ethan.
00:32:37And I've always liked Ethan.
00:32:39I mean, me and Ethan
00:32:41would have been married a long time ago
00:32:43if my acting career wasn't just getting started.
00:32:47Well, that was your choice.
00:32:49That has nothing to do with me.
00:32:51Yeah, but now that my career's really taken off
00:32:53and I'm on the A-list,
00:32:55my PR team,
00:32:57I mean I, think that it's the perfect time
00:32:59to get married.
00:33:01Ethan and I will be together soon.
00:33:03Very soon.
00:33:09The melodrama.
00:33:11Wait!
00:33:13No, no, no, no, no!
00:33:15Please! Somebody help me!
00:33:27Now that Helena has agreed to marry you,
00:33:29you can finally divorce that woman.
00:33:31And don't worry, we will get you
00:33:33the best attorneys.
00:33:35Ethan, please don't be mad at me
00:33:37that I made you wait so long.
00:33:39I want to marry you.
00:33:41Don't tell me you're still hung up on
00:33:43Stella Everett.
00:33:45You were obsessed with her when we were kids.
00:33:47Ethan, dear, Stella would have made
00:33:49a perfect match for you, but it's just not possible.
00:33:51Helena is the next best thing.
00:33:53This has nothing to do with Stella.
00:33:55Maya is
00:33:57and will always be my wife.
00:33:59Oh, is that so?
00:34:01Where is she now, then?
00:34:03Somebody!
00:34:09Please.
00:34:11Ethan, dear, lowlives
00:34:13like Maya will never make you
00:34:15happy. Did I not make that clear to you this
00:34:17morning? Or do I have to show you
00:34:19by cutting off your access to the
00:34:21Armstrong vaults? Let's go.
00:34:23I'm not done here. Help!
00:34:25Maya passed out and she needs help.
00:34:27Get in the car.
00:34:37Get in the car. We've got to get her to the hospital now.
00:34:49What happened?
00:34:51The doctor said it was low blood sugar
00:34:53inside anemia.
00:34:55Why didn't you call for help?
00:34:57The door locked from the outside
00:34:59after Helena left.
00:35:01Don't worry.
00:35:03That won't happen again.
00:35:05I promise.
00:35:11Thank you for always looking out for me.
00:35:13Isn't that what husbands are for?
00:35:17Now, the first order of business
00:35:19is to get you fed.
00:35:21Why don't we go on a date?
00:35:23What about work?
00:35:25I think the boss will be okay with it.
00:35:33I'm sorry.
00:35:35Go ahead and go inside. I've got to take this.
00:35:39What'd you find out?
00:35:41The police have no record of Pete Moore reporting a missing child
00:35:43when he found Maya.
00:35:45He lied to her about trying to find her family.
00:35:47Now why would he do that?
00:35:49A theory that Maya might be Stella Everett
00:35:51and Pete Moore.
00:35:55Reservation for Armstrong?
00:35:57Oh, yes.
00:35:59Mr. Armstrong called earlier
00:36:01and we have a special table for you.
00:36:05Please take a room.
00:36:07Thank you so much.
00:36:13Name?
00:36:15Do you not recognize her?
00:36:17I'm a Baldwin.
00:36:19Oh, of course.
00:36:21Miss Baldwin.
00:36:23I'm sorry, I'm not seeing a reservation
00:36:25for Baldwin. Are you sure you have the right day?
00:36:27What part of I'm a Baldwin
00:36:29do you not get? I don't need a reservation.
00:36:31Well, sorry, ma'am.
00:36:33Would you like to make a reservation?
00:36:35I have availability for
00:36:37three months from now.
00:36:39I demand a table right now!
00:36:41It simply cannot be done.
00:36:43Excuse me.
00:36:45Can you believe this?
00:36:47This is embarrassing.
00:36:49More for you than for me, though.
00:36:51Shut up, Brooks.
00:36:55Please tell your dining companion
00:36:57that we're happy to get you in at such a short notice.
00:36:59Thank you so much.
00:37:01Of course.
00:37:03How dare she?
00:37:05Wait, is that Maya?
00:37:07What the hell?
00:37:09Wait, is that Maya?
00:37:11What the hell? How did she get in here?
00:37:13Does that skank have a sugar daddy now or something?
00:37:15Let's catch her in the act.
00:37:25Now we can finally expose Maya
00:37:27for what a cheap skank she is.
00:37:29She's so pathetic.
00:37:31She probably has some 90-year-old paying for her meal.
00:37:33Do you see her date anywhere?
00:37:37Are you looking for what to order right now?
00:37:39Yeah, I think I'll get the taco.
00:37:41Brooks, look for Maya's sugar daddy.
00:37:43God, do I have to do everything?
00:37:49Are you sure she's even meeting an old man?
00:37:51Please.
00:37:53Like she could get anyone who wasn't half-blind or demented.
00:37:59That cannot be who I think it is.
00:38:01Maya's meeting that guy.
00:38:07He doesn't look half-blind or demented.
00:38:09Is that you, fucking Armstrong?
00:38:13Yeah.
00:38:21Thanks for waiting.
00:38:23Of course.
00:38:27So what's good here?
00:38:29There is a lot of zeros.
00:38:31Only the best from Hawaii.
00:38:37How the hell did she get Keith and Armstrong?
00:38:39What makes them so amazing?
00:38:41Brooks, you dumbass.
00:38:43He's a billionaire business tycoon.
00:38:45He's even richer than the Everett family.
00:38:47What?
00:38:49Zoomers make the Baldwins look like nothing.
00:38:51God, I swear you don't...
00:38:53Shut up.
00:38:55Why the hell is he with that trashy skank?
00:39:07You'll pay, Maya.
00:39:11Thanks.
00:39:15You know, I actually know the chef here.
00:39:17We could just have him make us something special.
00:39:21That would be nice.
00:39:23Is there anything that you don't eat?
00:39:25No, I'm not picky.
00:39:27What about you?
00:39:29I like pretty much everything.
00:39:31But nothing is as delicious as you are.
00:39:33Is that too much?
00:39:35It's a little cheesy.
00:39:41Ethan.
00:39:51What the hell was that?
00:39:53I just wanted to show you what you were missing.
00:40:01What the hell?
00:40:03You were acting like a cat in heat.
00:40:05I had to cool you off.
00:40:07My hair.
00:40:11Are you okay?
00:40:13Yeah.
00:40:17What the hell? Get out of the way!
00:40:19Excuse me, miss. This table is reserved.
00:40:21And don't come back.
00:40:25Was that Helena Jones?
00:40:27The famous actress?
00:40:29Yeah, it was.
00:40:31I can't believe Maya's dating a billionaire.
00:40:33Does this mean she won the breakup?
00:40:37She hasn't won yet, Brooks.
00:40:39I won't let her.
00:40:45You were so bad.
00:40:49I think technically that was our first date.
00:40:53Maybe it could have gone a little better.
00:40:57You're not mad that I threw water on her?
00:40:59Mad? No.
00:41:01A little turned on, maybe.
00:41:03Maya, that was pretty badass.
00:41:05Seems like she's not going to leave you alone.
00:41:07It doesn't matter.
00:41:09We've known each other since we were kids.
00:41:11And not once have I ever been interested in her.
00:41:13And I never will be.
00:41:15Never dated or anything?
00:41:17Definitely not.
00:41:19She thinks her Teen Choice Award makes her irresistible.
00:41:21But that's not what I'm into.
00:41:25What are you into?
00:41:27You.
00:41:29Maya, how I feel about you
00:41:31is none of your business.
00:41:33How I feel about you
00:41:37is unlike anything I've ever felt before.
00:41:41So, no serious exes?
00:41:45You want to have that conversation?
00:41:47Yeah, why not?
00:41:49I mean, you know about Brooks.
00:41:51Fair, though I don't know
00:41:53how you ever dated a dumbass like that.
00:41:55Fair.
00:41:57I...
00:42:01I had this
00:42:03childhood friend once.
00:42:05When I was a child,
00:42:07I once
00:42:09had this friend that I thought I loved.
00:42:11At least as much as a
00:42:13ten-year-old can love someone.
00:42:15But
00:42:17it didn't work out.
00:42:19What happened?
00:42:21I grew up,
00:42:23met an amazing woman,
00:42:25got married,
00:42:27and
00:42:29was happy.
00:42:33I'm happy, too.
00:42:35Let's go inside.
00:42:37That childhood
00:42:39friend you had,
00:42:41what was her name?
00:42:43Her name was Stella.
00:42:45Slut!
00:42:47What?
00:42:49We know you tried to steal Ethan from our Helena!
00:42:51What are you talking about?
00:42:53What are you talking about? What are you stupid?
00:42:55You!
00:42:57You crashed that date because you're trying to get with Ethan,
00:42:59you gold-digging slut!
00:43:01Wait, wait, wait!
00:43:03You know you tried to hurt Helena?
00:43:05So you deserve it!
00:43:07Yeah, you're a smart! Oh, you're hungry!
00:43:09Yeah, you're a threat!
00:43:11You're worthless!
00:43:13You're worthless!
00:43:17Those two, I want them arrested for slander and assault.
00:43:21Are you okay?
00:43:23I'm so sorry.
00:43:35Where are they getting this bullshit?
00:43:43It's true.
00:43:51Maya Moore is just some
00:43:53crazy fan who
00:43:55tried to ruin our anniversary dinner.
00:43:57I'm going to crush her.
00:44:05I'll handle this.
00:44:07I promise. And I'm sorry for this mess.
00:44:09It's not your fault.
00:44:11It's Helena's.
00:44:13I should get to the office.
00:44:15Wait.
00:44:17Take the day off. I'll take care of this.
00:44:19I can't just hide away from the rest of the world.
00:44:21I have to get out and do something.
00:44:23Get my mind off of it.
00:44:25Well, we do have an upcoming event for the Everett's.
00:44:27The company you're merging with?
00:44:29Yeah. I need to send you to a project off-site.
00:44:31Miss Antitron.
00:44:33And Juliette Auclair.
00:44:35The famous designer?
00:44:37Oh my gosh.
00:44:39Hi.
00:44:41Mr. Armstrong sent me here
00:44:43on a project for the Everett's.
00:44:45Yes. Your husband has asked me
00:44:47to dress you for the Everett gala.
00:44:55I'm so sorry.
00:44:57I'm so sorry.
00:44:59I'm so sorry.
00:45:07I need to find the perfect dress for the Everett gala.
00:45:09You'll look great in anything, babe.
00:45:11Duh. But I want to impress Mr. Everett.
00:45:13The Baldwins need to secure
00:45:15some contracts with the Everett Corporation.
00:45:17You're so smart, babe.
00:45:19None of these dresses are right.
00:45:23I need something like
00:45:25that.
00:45:29What the hell?
00:45:33You look amazing.
00:45:35What the hell did you get in here?
00:45:39What the hell did you get in here?
00:45:41How dare you get your dirty trailer park hands
00:45:43on Miss Auclair's clothes.
00:45:45Miss Auclair, I'm a huge fan.
00:45:47So I have to tell you that this peasant
00:45:49can't afford your clothes.
00:45:51She tried to get a sugar daddy, but he left her for Helena Jones.
00:45:53She's so poor, she once begged me
00:45:55and my boyfriend for money.
00:45:57Excuse me?
00:45:59Begged for money?
00:46:01I collected the money I was owed for putting your useless
00:46:03boyfriend through law school.
00:46:05Useless?
00:46:07Yeah, useless.
00:46:09Idiotic.
00:46:11Most people finish law school in three years,
00:46:13and he finished in five because he couldn't stop you
00:46:15in classes.
00:46:17This dress is made from very delicate
00:46:19fabric, Miss...
00:46:21Baldwin. Oh, a Baldwin.
00:46:23Yes, and I'd like to buy that dress.
00:46:25Oh, well,
00:46:27I just chose this dress for Miss Moore here.
00:46:29I'll buy it for five times what it's worth.
00:46:31Miss Baldwin,
00:46:33it's $100,000.
00:46:35Yes, like I said, I'm a Baldwin.
00:46:37Wrap it up.
00:46:43Take off the dress.
00:46:55Thank you so much.
00:46:57If you think about it, I did you a favor.
00:46:59This dress is too high class for your trashy ass
00:47:01anyway.
00:47:05Oh,
00:47:07we're not done.
00:47:09That's Savannah
00:47:11bought the dress. I'll let her buy it
00:47:13because I have something even better for you.
00:47:19This is
00:47:21the Venus, the most coveted
00:47:23dress from my collection.
00:47:25Wow, it's gorgeous.
00:47:27Only one exists in the world, and I'm giving
00:47:29it to you. But why?
00:47:31A beautiful dress needs
00:47:33someone equally beautiful
00:47:35to wear it.
00:47:37Thank you
00:47:39so much. Now,
00:47:41go show that Baldwin bitch what's what.
00:47:45Mr. Armstrong, I sent over
00:47:47what you asked for. Thanks for the video, chef.
00:47:49Sir?
00:47:51Release the video in the press statement.
00:47:53Yes, sir.
00:47:55Elena, is it
00:47:57true? That Ethan and I are getting married?
00:47:59Yes, I can confirm. So you're going to keep
00:48:01lying then? Excuse me?
00:48:03So you're going to keep lying then? Excuse me?
00:48:05Ethan Armstrong just released a statement saying he's
00:48:07married to the woman whose date you crashed.
00:48:09That's not true. There has to be some kind of mistake.
00:48:11There is full video from the restaurant security camera.
00:48:13What do you have to say to the people who are calling you a pervert?
00:48:15A pervert? I'm not a pervert.
00:48:17Hello?
00:48:19Elena, it's your agent.
00:48:21Oh, thank God. You have to get me out of here. We're not on your payroll anymore.
00:48:23We're dropping you. What?
00:48:25You've also been dropped from all your upcoming film projects.
00:48:27What did you expect when you assaulted a billionaire tycoon?
00:48:29There has to be something I can do.
00:48:31I suppose you could beg for Mr. Armstrong's forgiveness at the
00:48:33Ever Gala, but it's pretty much over, Elena.
00:48:35Sorry.
00:48:37Elena, what are you going to do now that your career's over?
00:48:39I just...
00:48:41Oh, this is going
00:48:43on the front page.
00:48:45I swear we're going to pay for this.
00:48:49Have I told you
00:48:51how beautiful
00:48:53you look tonight?
00:48:55Only a few
00:48:57hundred times.
00:48:59I meant it every time.
00:49:01Oh.
00:49:03Sorry,
00:49:05I've got to take this.
00:49:07Will you be okay if I call you?
00:49:09No, I'll be fine.
00:49:11I'll be fine.
00:49:13I'll be fine.
00:49:15I'll be fine.
00:49:17Sorry, I've got to take this.
00:49:19Will you be okay on your own for a bit?
00:49:21Yeah, I spawned at the dessert table, so we're good.
00:49:23I like your priorities.
00:49:25Save me some tiramisu.
00:49:29Did you see
00:49:31her dress?
00:49:33That's Juliette Auclair's Venus dress.
00:49:35I thought they only made one of those.
00:49:37Yeah, it's the most
00:49:39exclusive dress in the world.
00:49:41Wait, someone's wearing the Venus dress?
00:49:43Yeah, she went that way.
00:49:45What the hell?
00:49:47How did she even get in here?
00:49:49And why should Maya get to wear a famous one-of-a-kind dress?
00:50:01Whoops.
00:50:03Did I ruin your dress?
00:50:05Did I ruin your dress?
00:50:07No, it's a mess, just like you.
00:50:15The doors.
00:50:25Alert Mr. Everett.
00:50:27Someone's gone into his daughter's bedroom.
00:50:39You can't be in here.
00:50:41I'm sorry, I was just trying to...
00:50:43You're not on the list.
00:50:45I came with someone.
00:50:47Real convenient. Mr. Everett is on his way.
00:50:49He can confirm your story or not.
00:50:51If he doesn't, I'm calling the police.
00:50:53You're hurting me.
00:50:55Let her go, Helen. It's alright.
00:50:57Thank you, sir.
00:51:03I'm sorry.
00:51:07You look very familiar.
00:51:09Oh, um...
00:51:11I don't think we've met before.
00:51:13You're probably right.
00:51:15I'm old, you know.
00:51:17I guess I've seen so many faces,
00:51:19I guess I just think I recognize them.
00:51:21You alright?
00:51:23Yeah.
00:51:25I'm okay.
00:51:27I'm sorry I came in here
00:51:29when I'm not supposed to.
00:51:31I was cleaning my dress.
00:51:33Oh, well, you...
00:51:35No, that won't do at all, will it?
00:51:37There's Juliette Auclair at that.
00:51:39You recognize me?
00:51:41Mm, yes, yes.
00:51:43Truth be told, I was subjected to many long rants
00:51:45about fashion and designers
00:51:47from my late daughter.
00:51:49Oh.
00:51:51I'm so sorry for your loss.
00:51:53Well, thank you, dear.
00:51:55You know that she was one of Juliette Auclair's?
00:51:57Oh, yes.
00:51:59Well, thank you, dear.
00:52:01You know that she was one of Juliette Auclair's?
00:52:03Oh, first customers.
00:52:23An Auclair for an Auclair.
00:52:25An Auclair for an Auclair.
00:52:27Are you sure?
00:52:29It's your daughter's.
00:52:31Oh, yes, yes, and she would love nothing more
00:52:33than to see a lovely dress be seen
00:52:35on a lovely lady.
00:52:39Thank you, sir.
00:52:55Are you okay, sir?
00:52:59Yeah, I'm okay.
00:53:03You look so much like my daughter.
00:53:07Thank you for letting me wear it.
00:53:11Mr. Everett, it's time for your speech.
00:53:13Yes, ma'am.
00:53:19Thank you for being so kind.
00:53:21Thank you for being so kind.
00:53:25Well, I wonder if maybe you could return the favor?
00:53:27Well, I wonder if maybe you could return the favor?
00:53:29Will you accompany an old gentleman to his party?
00:53:31Will you accompany an old gentleman to his party?
00:53:33Of course.
00:53:45Where is Maya?
00:53:47Ladies and gentlemen,
00:53:49please welcome our host for the evening,
00:53:51Mr. Everett.
00:54:01Babe, what the hell?
00:54:03What the hell is that skank with Mr. Everett?
00:54:05And she now trying to trap him into being a sugar daddy?
00:54:07What a slut.
00:54:09Are you really going to talk about Mrs. Armstrong like that?
00:54:11Are you really going to talk about Mrs. Armstrong like that?
00:54:13Mrs. Armstrong?
00:54:15Mrs. Armstrong?
00:54:17Are you in a relationship with Helena Jones?
00:54:19No, Ethan Armstrong released a statement that his wife is actually Maya Moore.
00:54:21No, Ethan Armstrong released a statement that his wife is actually Maya Moore.
00:54:23Helena Jones lied about their relationship.
00:54:25So pathetic.
00:54:27How do you not know?
00:54:29What kind of corporate heiress does he meet the traits?
00:54:31The Baldwins really have fallen.
00:54:37Ma'am, you are making a scene.
00:54:39This is a nice event.
00:54:41If it's so nice, then how do you let trash like her in?
00:54:43Excuse me? Do you know who I am?
00:54:45Excuse me? Do you know who I am?
00:54:47Excuse me? Do you know who I am?
00:54:55Well, thank you for accompanying me.
00:54:57Well, thank you for accompanying me.
00:54:59It is my pleasure.
00:55:01Well, that dress was made for you.
00:55:13Did you switch dates?
00:55:15I had a wardrobe malfunction.
00:55:17He let me borrow his doctor's dress.
00:55:19That means that he likes you a lot.
00:55:21That means that he likes you a lot.
00:55:23That will come in handy later.
00:55:25Why is that?
00:55:27You'll see.
00:55:33Ethan.
00:55:35I figured by that gleam in your eye that this must be your new bride.
00:55:37I figured by that gleam in your eye that this must be your new bride.
00:55:39Yes.
00:55:41This is Maya Moore.
00:55:43Maya, meet Grandpa.
00:55:45Grandpa?
00:55:47Not by blood, but he's a family friend that appraised me.
00:55:49Unfortunately, this is what we got.
00:55:51Kind of a rascal, isn't he?
00:55:53Kind of a rascal, isn't he?
00:55:55But I think I must have done something right,
00:55:57But I think I must have done something right,
00:55:59because you certainly know how to pick the most graceful ladies for your wife.
00:56:01because you certainly know how to pick the most graceful ladies for your wife.
00:56:05Well, I'm glad you like her,
00:56:07because you'll be spending a lot more time together during the merger.
00:56:09Maya is my new executive assistant.

00:57:05Wait until you hear about the benefits.

00:57:23Thank you for your diligence.
00:57:25Great, thanks for the update.
00:57:27I need to talk to you.
00:57:29I've said everything I need to say to the press.
00:57:31I've said everything I need to say to the press.
00:57:33So you're going to ruin my life over some random whore?
00:57:35You better watch what you say,
00:57:37because I'll happily ruin your life for a second time
00:57:39if you continue to insult her.
00:57:41It's always been like this.
00:57:43Ever since we were kids, I mean,
00:57:45I'm always the one that wanted to be with you
00:57:47and you only ever wanted to be with Stella Everett.
00:57:49And now she's gone and you want to be with some random no-name?
00:57:51I mean, what is wrong with me?
00:57:53I'm perfect for you.
00:57:55Maya is perfect for me.
00:57:57I'm done with this conversation.
00:57:59Stella or Maya?
00:58:01Yeah, I wonder which one you'd choose.
00:58:03Yeah, I wonder which one you'd choose.
00:58:05Wait, does Maya even know about Stella Everett?
00:58:07Wait, does Maya even know about Stella Everett?
00:58:11Keep interfering with my marriage, Helena,
00:58:13and I'll do a lot more
00:58:15than just ruin your reputation.
00:58:19I swear they're going to pay for this.
00:58:23I think we have a lot in common.
00:58:25Who are you?
00:58:27Someone who also wants to end Maya Moore and Nathan Armstrong.
00:58:29Someone who also wants to end Maya Moore and Nathan Armstrong.
00:58:31Why don't you tell me everything there is to know about Stella Everett?
00:58:41Are you ready for your first day as an executive assistant?
00:58:43Are you ready for your first day as an executive assistant?
00:58:45I think so.
00:58:49Have you been drinking champagne?
00:58:51No.
00:58:57Mr. Armstrong and Ms. Moore,
00:58:59I'm excited to have you here.
00:59:01Congratulations, Ms. Moore, on your first day.
00:59:03Thank you, Mr. Everett.
00:59:05This is Carol Smith and Daniel Miller,
00:59:07our heads of marketing.
00:59:09This is Ethan Armstrong, CEO of Armstrong Airplane.
00:59:11We know exactly who you are, Mr. Armstrong.
00:59:13It's such an honor.
00:59:15So great to work with you.
00:59:17And this is Maya Moore, Ethan's executive assistant.
00:59:19Hi.
00:59:21Do you know who she is?
00:59:25Do you know who she is? She's my...
00:59:27New executive assistant.
00:59:29Very new, so I'm excited to learn from you both.
00:59:31Well, let's just hope you can keep up.
00:59:35The campaign for the Everett Armstrong merger
00:59:37is very important and requires expertise,
00:59:39so why don't you take notes?
00:59:41Sure.
00:59:43The biggest issue right now
00:59:45is how to show our respective customers
00:59:47why this merger is a good thing for them.
00:59:49We don't want any of our customers
00:59:51to think they're losing out on any
00:59:53Armstrong or Everett products that they've been loyal to
00:59:55for so many years.
00:59:57Exactly. So how do we roll out this news
00:59:59to our customer base and alleviate their fears?
01:00:01I say keep it simple.
01:00:03We send out a mass email
01:00:05to all of our customers
01:00:07letting them know that, yes,
01:00:09the merger is happening,
01:00:11but nothing will change.
01:00:13No, no, no, that's wrong.
01:00:15There is the personal touch.
01:00:17You know, the Everett Corporation is known for customer service
01:00:19and what you're talking about is none of that.
01:00:21Besides, nothing will change is inaccurate.
01:00:23We'll continue to make the same great products,
01:00:25of course, but what about the
01:00:27excitement for the future?
01:00:29How about a one-time discount
01:00:31for our current customers
01:00:33that'll be done right after the announcement is made?
01:00:35Now, if the customers are happy,
01:00:37they can't be worried.
01:00:39So, like a bribe?
01:00:41Well...
01:00:44Yes, I had to suggest that whenever our customers
01:00:46have an issue, we'll just throw money at it
01:00:48rather than come up with a real solution.
01:00:52Um...
01:00:54If it's alright,
01:00:56I have an idea.
01:00:58If it's alright,
01:01:00I have an idea.
01:01:02You. Please.
01:01:04Better let her talk.
01:01:06You and Daniels haven't come up with anything yet,
01:01:08so let's see what you have to say, kid.
01:01:10How about we do a customer
01:01:12ambassador program?
01:01:14Tell me more.
01:01:16So, we invite a group of our loyal
01:01:18customers from both companies and invite
01:01:20them to be insiders on the merger.
01:01:22They'll have special access to
01:01:24behind-the-scenes content, exclusive
01:01:26updates, and early access
01:01:28to new products.
01:01:30And if they share their experiences via social media,
01:01:32it could generate a lot
01:01:34of positive vibes.
01:01:36Which you can also use in other marketing efforts,
01:01:38like ads and customer testimonials.
01:01:40You're brilliant.
01:01:42I agree.
01:01:44Okay, let's go with Maya's plan.
01:01:50Maya,
01:01:52you were absolutely incredible today.
01:01:54Thank you, Mr. Everett.
01:01:58Can I convince you to go have a meal?
01:02:00I have a meeting with a vendor
01:02:02across town. How about just
01:02:04you and Maya eat together?
01:02:06Is that okay?
01:02:08Yeah, of course.
01:02:10Yeah, that sounds great.
01:02:12See you later.
01:02:16Well, are you hungry?
01:02:18My personal chef is on call.
01:02:20I don't want to make any fuss.
01:02:22What do you normally eat?
01:02:24Oh, well, that's kind of a strange one.
01:02:26I like chocolate cereal
01:02:28with orange juice and hot milk.
01:02:30Are you being serious?
01:02:32I like that too.
01:02:34Get out of here.
01:02:36I love it. Let's do that.
01:02:38Okay.
01:02:44It's so good.
01:02:46I'm shocked, you know, that you like this stuff.
01:02:48Everybody else thinks I'm crazy.
01:02:50My foster father thought it was disgusting too.
01:02:52Foster father?
01:02:54You're adopted, huh?
01:02:56Yeah, when I was ten.
01:02:58I'm sorry.
01:03:00At such a young age, it must be really difficult
01:03:02to handle that.
01:03:04Actually, I'm not sure.
01:03:06My foster father found me wandering around
01:03:08with no memory.
01:03:10The only memory I had is that I was ten years old.
01:03:12And that I like chocolate cereal
01:03:14and orange juice.
01:03:16If you don't mind me asking,
01:03:18how old are you now?
01:03:20If you don't mind me asking,
01:03:22how old are you now?
01:03:24I'm twenty-seven.
01:03:26Hello?
01:03:28Alright, I'll be right there.
01:03:30I'm sorry, Mr. Everett.
01:03:32Sorry, Mr. Everett.
01:03:34The bank just called and there's some kind of issue.
01:03:36It's fine.
01:03:38We'll have some more cereal and orange juice later.
01:03:40Sounds good.
01:03:50Twenty-seven.
01:03:54Going somewhere?
01:03:56What?
01:03:58Was it the bank?
01:04:00There's an issue with your savings account.
01:04:02So you lured me out here.
01:04:04What do you want?
01:04:06I just have some information on your husband
01:04:08that I think you might want to hear.
01:04:10Why should I trust you?
01:04:12You're a liar?
01:04:14Yeah, maybe.
01:04:16But this information can't be verified.
01:04:18Did you not think to search up Ethan and his past?
01:04:20No, but
01:04:22I trust him.
01:04:24So you know all about Stella Everett?
01:04:26I know that they were childhood friends.
01:04:28I guess he had a crush on her.
01:04:30It was much more than a crush.
01:04:32I mean, they were engaged.
01:04:34And then she disappeared
01:04:36and Ethan was
01:04:38devastated.
01:04:40Why do you think a catch like him has been single all these years?
01:04:42Why do you think his grandmother
01:04:44had to practically force him
01:04:46to get married?
01:04:48I just...
01:04:50Because he's been looking for a job
01:04:52all these years.
01:04:54Because he's been looking for
01:04:56Stella this whole time.
01:04:58He only settled for you so that he
01:05:00could merge with her family's company.
01:05:02Your marriage only exists
01:05:04because he loves
01:05:06Stella.
01:05:08And he always will be.
01:05:10But I just wanted to let you know.
01:05:12Girl to girl.
01:05:18Nice work.
01:05:20What do you mean you haven't seen her?
01:05:22Find my wife.
01:05:26Where have you been?
01:05:28Grandpa said you left work hours ago.
01:05:30Grandpa?
01:05:32Yeah, Grandpa.
01:05:34Do you call him that because in your mind you're
01:05:36married to Stella Everett?
01:05:38What?
01:05:40Is it true that you've been in love with Stella Everett your entire life?
01:05:42And the only reason you married me
01:05:44was to lock in the merger with the Everett Corporation?
01:05:46You know how our marriage started.
01:05:48And you know that how I feel about you now is real.
01:05:50Do I?
01:05:52Am I the only way you could tie yourself to her?
01:05:54The merger may have been an ode to someone I care about.
01:05:56But that doesn't mean I don't love you.
01:06:00Maya.
01:06:02I love you.
01:06:04Am I just some placeholder
01:06:06for a girl that you will never have?
01:06:08You're not. I swear.
01:06:10How am I supposed to live up to a girl you've been in love with your entire life?
01:06:12Maya, please.
01:06:14You do.
01:06:16Ethan!
01:06:18I am never going to be Stella Everett.
01:06:20But you might actually be Stella Everett.
01:06:28What?
01:06:34When we were ten years old,
01:06:36Stella disappeared.
01:06:38Kidnapped, probably.
01:06:40Grandpa and I never saw her again.
01:06:42Until
01:06:44until
01:06:46seventeen years ago in June.
01:06:48That's the same exact
01:06:50timeline as- No, come on!
01:06:52Maya, you look just like her.
01:06:54When you were ten years old,
01:06:56you were an orphan who lost her memory.
01:06:58Your foster father?
01:07:00He never actually filed a child support.
01:07:02I wouldn't be surprised if he- Just stop!
01:07:04This is all way too much.
01:07:06I just cannot
01:07:08believe that.
01:07:11Then you need
01:07:13something irrefutable.
01:07:15Let's take a DNA test.
01:07:17What if I
01:07:19refuse?
01:07:21What if I refuse?
01:07:23What?
01:07:25What if I don't want to take a DNA test?
01:07:27What if I just want to be Maya Moore
01:07:29for the rest of my life?
01:07:31Not Maya Moore might be Stella Everett.
01:07:33I just want to be
01:07:35Maya, the lonely orphan,
01:07:37Moore.
01:07:41Then I would be okay with that.
01:07:43Really?
01:07:45I promise.
01:07:47As long as you can still be
01:07:49Maya Armstrong.
01:07:51Not because I might be
01:07:53Stella Everett? No.
01:07:55Because I know you're Maya Moore.
01:07:57And she's the only
01:07:59woman I want to be my wife.
01:08:05I'll stop digging.
01:08:07And I promise to never mention
01:08:09a DNA test again.
01:08:11Actually,
01:08:13let's do it.
01:08:15Really?
01:08:17Yeah.
01:08:19Now that I know we're good no matter what,
01:08:21let's find out
01:08:23if I'm actually Stella Everett.
01:08:27Hello? Would you like to accept
01:08:29a collect call from the county jail?
01:08:31What? I swear, Brooks is
01:08:33in trouble. Yes, I'll accept
01:08:35the call. One moment.
01:08:39Am I speaking to one of the Bulbas?
01:08:41Yes. Who are you?
01:08:43How did you get this number? I'm an old friend
01:08:45of the family's. Well, that has nothing to do with me.
01:08:47So, bye.
01:08:49Hang up, hang up. You don't want to hang up on me.
01:08:51I mean, you don't want to lose everything
01:08:53you've got, do you? Who the hell are you?
01:08:55I'm the guy your family paid
01:08:57to kidnap Stella Everett.
01:09:01I'm the guy your family
01:09:03paid to kidnap Stella Everett.
01:09:05I guess you knew
01:09:07about the family secret, huh?
01:09:09I don't know anything
01:09:11about that. Cut the bullshit, sweetheart.
01:09:13You can't con a con.
01:09:15But, you know, I can keep my mouth shut.
01:09:17In exchange for what? Stella's husband
01:09:19threw me in jail, so I need somebody to come out and
01:09:21bail me out. Stella's husband?
01:09:23She's alive?
01:09:25Oh, she's more than alive. She is living a grand
01:09:27life. She's married to Ethan Armstrong.
01:09:31Maya Moore is Stella Everett?
01:09:33Yep. Can you imagine what
01:09:35would happen to your business if Mr. Armstrong
01:09:37finds out? Lose everything.
01:09:39Exactly.
01:09:41So, why don't you
01:09:43hand over to the
01:09:45county jail and bring some cash?
01:09:47Fine. I'll be there soon.
01:09:53This could ruin everything!
01:09:57How am I going to make sure
01:09:59that this never gets out?
01:10:01Maya Moore can never figure out
01:10:03that she's Stella Everett, but how?
01:10:09Get me a meeting with Mr. Everett immediately.
01:10:11He might have some information
01:10:13about his granddaughter.
01:10:17So, I think we should
01:10:19just go in there and tell Grandpa everything
01:10:21from the beginning. And then we can ask
01:10:23if he'll take a DNA test.
01:10:25You ready?
01:10:27I'm ready.
01:10:33I'll be right with you, Ms. Baldwin.
01:10:45Ms. Baldwin.
01:10:47You came as soon as I heard.
01:10:49What information do you have about Stella?
01:10:51Does it have anything to do with Maya?
01:10:53Have some tea first. Mr. Everett, we need to
01:10:55stay calm.
01:10:57You as well.
01:11:03Hey, Grandpa?
01:11:05You in here?
01:11:07Ethan, look.
01:11:13Call 9-1-1, quick!
01:11:17What's the running tests?
01:11:19So, at this moment, we don't know what caused
01:11:21Ms. Everett's coma.
01:11:23Will he pull through?
01:11:25It's too soon to say.
01:11:27There was one thing he wanted,
01:11:29and that was to be able to
01:11:31There was one thing he wanted
01:11:33before he died, and that was to
01:11:35find his granddaughter.
01:11:37Would it be possible to run
01:11:39a DNA test?
01:11:41Not without his consent. Besides, isn't his
01:11:43granddaughter already with him?
01:11:45What are you talking about?
01:11:47She's in there with him, right now.
01:11:57Ethan.
01:11:59It's been a while.
01:12:01Stella?
01:12:03Stella?
01:12:09You're not still shy.
01:12:11His face used to get so red when I would hug him as a kid.
01:12:13Oh, I'm sorry.
01:12:15Who are you?
01:12:17Maya. Maya Moore.
01:12:19I'm Stella Everett. It's nice to meet you.
01:12:21Maya's my wife.
01:12:23Oh.
01:12:25Wow.
01:12:27That bridge under the yellow swing sent me nothing to you?
01:12:29How did you know about that?
01:12:31Of course I remember.
01:12:33I think your vows were something like,
01:12:35I promise to give you a lollipop every day.
01:12:37Yeah.
01:12:39They were.
01:12:41Maya.
01:12:49Maya.
01:12:53I want it endless.
01:12:57What?
01:12:59This insecurity I have with us.
01:13:01I know it's a big deal
01:13:03for you to find Stella,
01:13:05but I love you,
01:13:07and I don't want to lose you.
01:13:09Maya, you're not going to lose me.
01:13:11I love you,
01:13:13and no one can change that.
01:13:15Not Stella Everett.
01:13:17Not anybody.
01:13:19Are you okay?
01:13:21I can't say I'm not disappointed.
01:13:23I mean, for a second I thought
01:13:25I was actually going to find my real family.
01:13:27I don't know.
01:13:29There's something off
01:13:31about Stella.
01:13:33But she knows all the details
01:13:35from your past with her.
01:13:37She does,
01:13:39and it's spooky accurate,
01:13:41but still.
01:13:43I love you.
01:13:45I love you too.
01:13:47Still.
01:13:51Hello?
01:13:53Boss, Stella Everett is giving a live interview right now.
01:13:55What?
01:13:57I'm sending you a link.
01:13:59I am Stella Everett,
01:14:01heiress to the Everett Corporation.
01:14:03Back from the dead.
01:14:07Miss Everett, where have you been all these years?
01:14:09I was kidnapped,
01:14:11and taken abroad.
01:14:13I was rescued by the local authorities a few weeks ago.
01:14:15What are you most looking forward to now that you're back?
01:14:17Well, there's an old treehouse on the Everett property
01:14:19that I'd like to go and revisit.
01:14:21My friends and I used to tell scary stories there at night.
01:14:23It's a good thing you used to stalk Ethan and Stella when you were a kid.
01:14:25Shut up.
01:14:27It's a compliment.
01:14:29You trained Stella well.
01:14:31You're right.
01:14:33God, I mean, I should be a director.
01:14:35It's good to be back.
01:14:37This is some of my finest work.
01:14:39So, mission accomplished.
01:14:41Let's get out of here.
01:14:43There was a lot of details.
01:14:45She seems like the real deal.
01:14:47How are you?
01:14:49Emotionally exhausted.
01:14:51Why don't you get some sleep,
01:14:53and I'll drive us home.
01:15:09Is that Helena and Savannah?
01:15:13Hey, look into all of Stella's claims
01:15:15and find out what Helena Jones and Savannah Baldwin
01:15:17have been up to recently.
01:15:19All right.
01:15:21Got it.
01:15:23Thanks.
01:15:25What are you doing here?
01:15:27Well, I came to see my fiancé, of course.
01:15:29You know I'm married.
01:15:31I'm just messing around, Ethan.
01:15:33I didn't expect you to hold onto a 20-year-old engagement.
01:15:35It did mean
01:15:37a lot to me at the time, though.
01:15:39Do you know that I kept the ring pot
01:15:41that you proposed with?
01:15:43I put it in my jewelry box.
01:15:45I thought about you every day.
01:15:47I couldn't wait to get back to you, Ethan.
01:15:49I'm in love
01:15:51with my wife, and nothing is going
01:15:53to change that.
01:15:55Well, we'll see.
01:15:57We're going to be working together a lot
01:15:59now that I'm taking over the Everett Corporation.
01:16:01Will you?
01:16:03Who better to be Grandpa's successor than his granddaughter?
01:16:05You're right.
01:16:07So we should run the DNA test.
01:16:09Since Grandpa's in a coma,
01:16:11he can't consent to a DNA test.
01:16:13So you'll just have to take my testimony.
01:16:15Plus, I know all about the treehouse
01:16:17and the hidden nook in the Everett Library.
01:16:19So does Helena Jones,
01:16:21incidentally. She used to follow
01:16:23Stella and me around as kids.
01:16:25Oh, yeah, no. I remember Helena.
01:16:27She was super weird.
01:16:29Also, Grandpa's will stipulates that any Stella Everett
01:16:31trying to take over his company requires a DNA test.
01:16:33His lawyers have his written approval
01:16:35on hand for those particular circumstances.
01:16:37So,
01:16:39are you ready to take the test?
01:16:41Well...
01:16:43Or do you want to change your story?
01:16:49Helena!
01:16:51Always nice to see you.
01:16:53Enough of the sarcastic pleasantries.
01:16:55On the phone,
01:16:57you said that you could help me get my career back.
01:16:59No. I said I wanted to talk to you
01:17:01about your career, mostly because
01:17:03I believe it's about to get even worse.
01:17:05Excuse me?
01:17:07I can see the headlines now.
01:17:09From the big screen to a tiny little jail cell.
01:17:11I don't have to listen to this nonsense.
01:17:13Your Stella Everett imposter has already turned on you.
01:17:15She's given her sworn statement to the police.
01:17:17But,
01:17:19I might be able to help you
01:17:21in exchange for some information.
01:17:23Tell me everything you know
01:17:25about Savannah Baldwin's involvement.
01:17:29No!
01:17:31No!
01:17:33Ah, my father-in-law.
01:17:37We have got to stop meeting like this.
01:17:45Are you okay?
01:17:47Yeah.
01:17:49I have something to tell you.
01:17:53Helena and Savannah hired an imposter
01:17:55to pose as Stella Everett.
01:17:57What?
01:17:59Apparently, Stella was an old actress friend
01:18:01of Helena's.
01:18:03She coached her.
01:18:05God, why are they so crazy?
01:18:07I know.
01:18:09But, there's more.
01:18:11We found your foster dad.
01:18:13I thought he was in jail.
01:18:15Savannah posted his bail.
01:18:17Why would she do that?
01:18:19He blackmailed her.
01:18:21He threatened to come out with the information
01:18:23that the Baldwins hired him to kidnap Stella Everett.
01:18:25Which is...
01:18:27you.
01:18:30So it's true.
01:18:32I'm actually Stella Everett.
01:18:34You are.
01:18:36The Baldwins hired Pete
01:18:38after your parents passed away.
01:18:40They thought that if Grandpa suffered another loss,
01:18:42the grief would cause the Everett stock price to drop.
01:18:44And they'd buy it up
01:18:46and take over the company.
01:18:48Which obviously didn't happen.
01:18:50What about my memory?
01:18:52Pete said when you tried to escape,
01:18:54you hit your head.
01:18:56When he realized that you didn't remember anything,
01:18:59he hid it from the police
01:19:01and he told you he adopted you.
01:19:03I can't believe this.
01:19:07Thank you for finding out the truth.
01:19:15What happened to Pete,
01:19:17Helene, and Savannah?
01:19:19Pete and Helene are in police custody.
01:19:21Savannah's on the run.
01:19:23Don't worry, though.
01:19:25The Baldwin bank accounts are frozen.
01:19:27So she can't get far.
01:19:38Savannah?
01:19:40I need you to get me out of the country.
01:19:42How do you expect me to do that?
01:19:44I've given you hundreds of thousands of dollars in gifts.
01:19:46Sell them and we can pay someone to sneak us out.
01:19:48Us? I don't want to leave.
01:19:50We have no choice.
01:19:52I have a choice, though.
01:19:54I'm breaking up with you.
01:19:57What?
01:19:59I've done everything for you.
01:20:01I didn't ask you to do that.
01:20:05This is all that bitch Maya's fault.
01:20:07I swear I'll make her pay for this.
01:20:22Thank you all for coming today
01:20:24to the announcement for the Armstrong Everett merger.
01:20:29I would like to thank someone
01:20:31who's played an integral part
01:20:33in the rollout of this merger.
01:20:35Maya Moore.
01:20:37She's developed our customer ambassador program
01:20:39which will carry our customers with us
01:20:41into this new era.
01:20:43I'll let her tell you more about it.
01:20:47Hello.
01:20:49I'm Maya Moore.
01:20:55Yeah, I'm pretty sure she's some backwards hick
01:20:57in the middle of nowhere.
01:20:59This is my wife and you will show her respect.
01:21:01Well, that explains how she got the job.
01:21:03Just because you marry up
01:21:05doesn't mean you're not some classless loser.
01:21:07That gold digger is pathetic.
01:21:09Get this nobody off the stage.
01:21:19She's not a nobody.
01:21:21This is my granddaughter.
01:21:23Stella Everett.
01:21:29Grandpa, you're okay.
01:21:31Once my heart told me that you were the one,
01:21:33my true granddaughter,
01:21:35there was nothing that was going to stop me
01:21:37from getting better.
01:21:41Mr. Everett, how do you know she's your granddaughter?
01:21:43Another woman was just impersonating Stella Everett?
01:21:49I have her DNA test.
01:21:51We'll send this to the doctor
01:21:53so that we can run a DNA test
01:21:55as soon as Grandpa wakes up.
01:21:59Maya Moore is my granddaughter.
01:22:21Where am I?
01:22:25The middle of nowhere.
01:22:27It took your husband 17 years
01:22:29to find you the first time.
01:22:31You think he'll be any quicker this time around?
01:22:37Hey, have you seen Maya?
01:22:39No, not in a while.
01:22:41I don't like this.
01:22:47Hello?
01:22:49Hello?
01:22:51Looking for your little wife?
01:22:53Where the hell is she?
01:22:55She's safe. For now.
01:22:57You lay a single hand on her, I swear.
01:22:59Enough with the theatrics.
01:23:01Your wife will be safe and sound if you give me $10 million in cash.
01:23:03But I'd hurry if I were you.
01:23:05She gets us safe and sound
01:23:07for every hour that goes by.
01:23:20Why are you doing this to me?
01:23:22Shut up.
01:23:24I didn't do anything to you.
01:23:26You took everything from me.
01:23:28My life was perfect
01:23:30before you, Maya Moore.
01:23:32The choices you and your family made
01:23:34is why your life was ruined, not me.
01:23:36You don't know anything.
01:23:38Damn whore.
01:23:40God, I can't even look at you.
01:23:42It makes me sick.
01:23:44Please.
01:23:46Please stop.
01:23:49I want my money.
01:23:51I just can't kill you.
01:23:53I can still miss that face.
01:23:57Get off!
01:24:01Are you all right?
01:24:03Yeah.
01:24:05Just a second.
01:24:07Maya.
01:24:09Maya.
01:24:11Maya.
01:24:17Maya.
01:24:19What happened?
01:24:21You passed out after we rescued you from Savannah.
01:24:23Savannah?
01:24:25It's okay.
01:24:27The police got her.
01:24:29She's going to rot for the rest of her life like she deserves.
01:24:31Can we go home?
01:24:33Let's just talk to the doctor first.
01:24:35I want to make sure you're okay.
01:24:41She's more than okay.
01:24:43She's pregnant.
01:24:49A new heir
01:24:51to the Everson Armstrongs.
01:24:53How wonderful.
