00:00:00Je suis Riley Carter.
00:00:02Depuis la graduation, j'ai pris de 27 jobs.
00:00:05Tout parce que je n'ai pas mal mon business.
00:00:08Mon superviseur crossed la ligne.
00:00:10Je n'ai pas de café.
00:00:12J'ai envoyé le footage straight à l'HR.
00:00:18Quelqu'un a pris une courte.
00:00:19J'ai arrêté le counter et j'ai perdu.
00:00:21J'ai perdu la chambre.
00:00:24Un homme a coupé sa femme.
00:00:26J'ai touché record,
00:00:27appelé 911,
00:00:29et j'ai montré exactement où la ligne est.
00:00:3127 fois.
00:00:32Same story, different job.
00:00:34I went from corporate to waiting tables.
00:00:36And I'm still falling.
00:00:38Hello, here are your dishes.
00:00:43Mia Sweet Eat,
00:00:44I picked this out just for you.
00:00:46Do you like it?
00:00:49Since her mom left,
00:00:51Mia hasn't said a word.
00:00:53So, to be Hawthorne Family's care partner,
00:00:56the first thing I need
00:00:57is to genuinely care about my daughter.
00:01:01Don't worry about that,
00:01:02Adrian.
00:01:03I love kids.
00:01:04Mia is such a sweetheart.
00:01:05I'd treat her like she's my own.
00:01:06I promise.
00:01:10Sorry.
00:01:11I have to take this.
00:01:12Please keep an eye on her for a moment.
00:01:14Of course.
00:01:15Go ahead.
00:01:17Adrian,
00:01:18it doesn't matter how many nannies or therapists you hire.
00:01:21None of them can replace a mom.
00:01:22That girl needs someone who's actually there for her.
00:01:32Your dad and I are seeing each other.
00:01:35Which means I'm your temporary step-mom now.
00:01:37So drop the creepy silent act.
00:01:40She was just smiling like an angel two seconds ago.
00:01:43And now, damn it.
00:01:45I'm talking to you!
00:01:48Listen up.
00:01:49Don't you dare go crying to your dad.
00:01:52If I move into this house,
00:01:53I'm changing everything.
00:01:54Your school.
00:01:55Your therapist.
00:01:56Your little friends.
00:01:57All of it.
00:01:58Hold it together.
00:01:59Riley,
00:02:00you promised mom and dad.
00:02:01Job 28 now.
00:02:03They cannot sell the house because of you.
00:02:05I don't see anything.
00:02:06I don't see anything.
00:02:07Hold it together.
00:02:08Hold it-
00:02:09Hey!
00:02:09Freak!
00:02:10Something wrong with your brain too?
00:02:14Fine.
00:02:16I'm an idiot.
00:02:22I'm an idiot.
00:02:23My 27th job.
00:02:25If I lose this one,
00:02:26my parents might actually have to sell the house.
00:02:29Kiddo, please.
00:02:30Just keep your head down this time.
00:02:32And if you can't,
00:02:33at least don't make it expensive.
00:02:34We are broke.
00:02:35Hey, relax.
00:02:36I swear.
00:02:37If I stick my nose in anyone's business again,
00:02:39I'm an idiot.
00:02:47You stupid waitress!
00:02:49Do you have any idea who I am?
00:02:51I don't care who you are.
00:02:52You're a grown woman bullying a little girl.
00:02:54Have you no shame?
00:02:58Get out.
00:03:02Riley Carter!
00:03:03How dare you embarrass our guest in front of everyone?
00:03:05Get your things and get out!
00:03:06Fine by me.
00:03:07It wasn't exactly my dream job anyway!
00:03:12Wait.
00:03:17I can offer you a job.
00:03:23Ones.
00:03:24Tens.
00:03:25Hundreds.
00:03:26Thousands.
00:03:28Hundred.
00:03:29Millions.
00:03:32Five thousand dollars, kiddo!
00:03:33That's a fortune to owe!
00:03:34The house cannot cover it!
00:03:36Come on.
00:03:37It's not a penalty.
00:03:39It's an employment contract.
00:03:40What?
00:03:41What kind of job pays that much?
00:03:43We may not be rich, but don't you dare do anything illegal?
00:03:46Adrian Hawthorne.
00:03:48Big time businessman.
00:03:49His mom's been pressuring him to get married.
00:03:52He thinks I'm kind, so he wants to hire me as a temporary step-mom to his daughter.
00:03:57She's completely shut down.
00:03:59Won't say a word.
00:04:00What decent single woman signs up to be someone's fake step-mom?
00:04:03If word gets out, no one will ever want to marry you.
00:04:06Mom, consider it a dream job.
00:04:08One year I get his daughter talking again, help smooth out all the messy drama in the Hawthorne family, and
00:04:11I walk away with five hundred thousand dollars.
00:04:13Tell me, where else I'm finding a deal like that?
00:04:15I mean, when you put it that way.
00:04:19So is that a yes?
00:04:21Hmm.
00:04:26Dad.
00:04:27Mom.
00:04:27Come on.
00:04:28I'm taking a job, not fleeing the country.
00:04:30Oh, hush!
00:04:31I packed your favorite smoked ham, pickles, and my homemade cookies.
00:04:34When you get there, share them with everyone.
00:04:35Don't be stingy, sweetie.
00:04:36And if anyone gives you a hard time, call us.
00:04:39We always have your back.
00:04:40Okay, okay.
00:04:41I got it.
00:04:42I am Carter.
00:04:43After all, I'm never gonna let anyone walk all over me.
00:04:49Sir.
00:04:50Ma'am.
00:04:51Oh.
00:04:51Hi.
00:04:52Is all of this coming with us?
00:04:56Yeah.
00:04:57Mom insisted.
00:04:58It's all goodies.
00:05:00Fine.
00:05:01Bring it all.
00:05:02Thanks.
00:05:07Mr. Hawthorne, Riley says whatever's on her mind.
00:05:10If she ever does anything improper, please be patient with her.
00:05:12Yeah.
00:05:13Call her out whenever you need to.
00:05:14Just, please don't actually fire her.
00:05:16She really struggled to find a job.
00:05:18You have my words, sir, ma'am.
00:05:21I'm out.
00:05:22Don't miss me too much.
00:05:23Just go.
00:05:33Adrian, look at this.
00:05:34A work plan.
00:05:35I stayed up all night making it.
00:05:36Totally professional.
00:05:38A work plan?
00:05:40Item one.
00:05:41Wake Mia up every morning at seven.
00:05:42Make her a proper breakfast.
00:05:44One egg, one glass of milk.
00:05:45Item two.
00:05:46Pick her up from school at four on the spot.
00:05:48Buy her a strawberry lollipop on the way.
00:05:50Item three.
00:05:51Oh, and I added an emergency section.
00:05:52If anyone messes with Mia, I'll be the first one there.
00:05:55If she has nightmares, I'll hold her and sing until she calms down.
00:05:58None of this is in the contract.
00:06:00Come on.
00:06:01The contract is just paper.
00:06:03I'm not.
00:06:03You're paying me, so I'm going all in.
00:06:06Besides, Mia is adorable.
00:06:07I already love her.
00:06:09That means a lot.
00:06:10Don't mention it.
00:06:12Just doing my job, boss.
00:06:19Ever since the young Mrs. Mom passed, this house has had no one filling that role.
00:06:24Now that there's finally someone new, Eleanor can rest easy.
00:06:28Poor thing.
00:06:30A stepmom?
00:06:31Just wait and see.
00:06:32Once they have their own kid, you'll be nothing but an outsider in this house.
00:06:37Five years of work to make that girl trust only me.
00:06:40If this woman comes in and ruins it all, was it for nothing?
00:06:50This is Riley Carter, my temporary spouse.
00:06:53Starting today, she is the Hawthorne family's care partner.
00:06:57Welcome, Mrs. Hawthorne.
00:06:59Welcome, Mrs. Hawthorne.
00:07:01Oh my gosh, your daughter is so cute.
00:07:03She looks like a scared little bunny.
00:07:05Calm down.
00:07:12Nia!
00:07:13Hey!
00:07:14Starting today, I'm your stepmom.
00:07:15Well, temporary stepmom.
00:07:17Okay, so my good qualities.
00:07:18I'll always have your back.
00:07:19I'll go off on anyone who messes with you.
00:07:21And my bad qualities?
00:07:23I talk too much, I'm loud, and I stick my nose in everything.
00:07:26You're my daughter now.
00:07:27I've got you.
00:07:28Anyone gives you trouble, I'll shut it down.
00:07:31Even if your dad gives you trouble, I'll shut that down, too.
00:07:34Come here.
00:07:35Give me a hug.
00:07:36Think of it as getting used to your new roommate.
00:07:39Wait.
00:07:39She's nothing like I imagined a stepmom would be.
00:07:43Hug me back.
00:07:43I'm not letting go until you do.
00:07:49Mia is actually letting Riley hug her.
00:07:52After only meeting twice?
00:07:54You're stuck with me now.
00:07:55No returns.
00:07:59Maybe I made the right choice.
00:08:04Adrian, if you don't leave now, you're gonna miss your flight to Seattle.
00:08:08You okay on your own?
00:08:10Please.
00:08:10I'm Riley Carter.
00:08:11Go catch your flight.
00:08:12I've got this.
00:08:13And if Mia loses so much as one hair while you're gone,
00:08:15I'll write you a check for $500 and myself.
00:08:18She is my wife now, and the care partner of this house.
00:08:21While I'm away, everyone answers to her.
00:08:23Are we clear?
00:08:24Yes, sir.
00:08:25No way.
00:08:27Nobody gets to take my mom's place.
00:08:35Two bites?
00:08:36What is this, a diet for a hamster?
00:08:42Full?
00:08:43On two tiny pieces of steak?
00:08:45That wouldn't fill a toddler.
00:08:47She doesn't like any of this.
00:08:49Start over.
00:08:50BBQ ribs.
00:08:51Honey glazed wings.
00:08:52Mac and...
00:08:52Ma'am.
00:08:53Mr. Hawthorne is gone.
00:08:55You don't have to put on a show anymore.
00:08:59I've raised Mia since she was little.
00:09:01You can leave her to me.
00:09:03We all understand how this works.
00:09:05Dad's gone.
00:09:07And now she's showing her true colors.
00:09:10Mia, honey, I'm only saying this because I care.
00:09:13Look at you.
00:09:13You can't speak.
00:09:14You have no manners.
00:09:15How are you ever going to survive in the real world?
00:09:17All these years, and you're still like this.
00:09:19People will think you were raised with zero class.
00:09:22Your dad's never around.
00:09:23Face it.
00:09:24I'm the only one who even bothers with you.
00:09:26So Mia never got better.
00:09:28Not just because she was lonely,
00:09:30but someone here has been tearing her down for years.
00:09:37Is she going to come after me now?
00:09:40What's her name?
00:09:41And what exactly is your job here?
00:09:43You can call me Mrs. Green, ma'am.
00:09:45I take care of young Mrs. Daily Needs,
00:09:47and honestly, I run just about everything in this house.
00:09:49Oh, so you work for us.
00:09:51Funny.
00:09:52The way you talk, I thought it was the other way around.
00:09:57Mia, my mom is an amazing cook.
00:09:59The sweetest woman alive.
00:10:00She's at the perfect age to take on something new.
00:10:03Want me have her come cook for you instead?
00:10:05Is she standing up for me?
00:10:08Oh, ma'am, that's not what I meant.
00:10:09I was only looking out for Mia.
00:10:10If it bothered you, I won't bring it up again.
00:10:12Please don't take it personally.
00:10:13Too late.
00:10:14I already took it personally.
00:10:15Pack your things.
00:10:16Get out of the Hawthorne family.
00:10:18Now.
00:10:18I've been with the Hawthorns for five years.
00:10:19Mr. Hawthorn has never once done this to me.
00:10:21I just did.
00:10:22So what?
00:10:23Go.
00:10:27Doors that way.
00:10:29Don't let it hit you on the way out.
00:10:33You all saw what just happened.
00:10:35Anyone who slacks off, cuts torners, or messes with this child,
00:10:38child, you're out the door.
00:10:40Are we clear?
00:10:40Yes, ma'am.
00:10:44We've only met twice and she already knows what I hate.
00:10:48No.
00:10:49She's just trying to win me over.
00:10:51I'm not falling for it.
00:10:55Fine.
00:10:56Don't eat it.
00:10:57Just sit tight.
00:10:57I'm going to go check on the suit.
00:11:06Oh, girl.
00:11:07She's so stubborn.
00:11:08It's actually kind of adorable.
00:11:12Well, getting her to eat is only step one.
00:11:14I need to figure out how to get her to actually talk.
00:11:23Mia!
00:11:24Help!
00:11:25They're falling!
00:11:28I picked out so many cute outfits for you.
00:11:31Come on.
00:11:32Look at this.
00:11:33It's so you.
00:11:35Fun, fresh, vibrant.
00:11:36This is exactly what someone your age should be wearing.
00:11:43No.
00:11:44You don't.
00:11:44All you ever wear is black, white, and gray, blah, blah.
00:11:47You look like you're wearing.
00:11:47You look like a little old lady.
00:11:48Here.
00:11:48Go try one on.
00:11:50Hey.
00:11:51Don't run.
00:11:51I spent all afternoon on this.
00:11:53Just give it a look.
00:11:59Mia.
00:12:00Mia.
00:12:00Just try it on.
00:12:01Please.
00:12:03Mia.
00:12:04Mia.
00:12:04Please.
00:12:04I'm begging you.
00:12:08Mia.
00:12:09Mia.
00:12:09If you don't try it on, I'm going to melt in a puddle.
00:12:12Mia!
00:12:19What's it going to hurt to just try it on?
00:12:25See?
00:12:26Was that so hard?
00:12:27You wore me out.
00:12:33Well, this room is definitely getting a makeover.
00:12:36How is this woman even real?
00:12:38She's worse than Mrs. Green warned me.
00:12:44Mom used to braid my hair like this, too.
00:12:49Good taste, huh?
00:12:50Are you just a little bit obsessed with me now?
00:12:55Wow.
00:12:55Don't hold back.
00:12:56But that's fine.
00:12:57I don't quit.
00:12:58I've still got tricks up my sleeve.
00:13:04Well?
00:13:04Do you love it?
00:13:06Surprised?
00:13:06Totally didn't see this coming, did you?
00:13:14No, no.
00:13:17It's getting late.
00:13:18Go shower.
00:13:19And I got you Hello Kitty pajamas.
00:13:21They're going to be perfect on you.
00:13:22Oh, I left three options outside your door.
00:13:24If you hate Hello Kitty, just say a color.
00:13:27Any color.
00:13:29Your call.
00:13:30No pressure.
00:13:31I'll be right outside.
00:13:32Just say, I don't want it and I'll swap it out.
00:13:34That's it.
00:13:41You don't have to talk, but I want to hear this one from you.
00:13:45I see you saying no.
00:13:47I respect that.
00:13:48But do you think you could try just one word?
00:13:52I'll be right outside.
00:14:05Mia never comes to me like this.
00:14:08But look at her now.
00:14:10Riley must have really gotten through to her.
00:14:15Well?
00:14:17What's going on in here?
00:14:18I'm letting Mia pick her own pajamas.
00:14:20That's it.
00:14:25I was gone just for one week.
00:14:29And how are they already this close?
00:14:32She's been so much livelier lately.
00:14:35I'm not going to mess with whatever's working.
00:14:39Fine.
00:14:39Finish up and get to bed.
00:14:40Both of you.
00:14:42Oh, Mia.
00:14:43School's starting soon.
00:14:45Tomorrow I'm taking you both to the mall.
00:14:46New backpacks, school supplies, the whole thing.
00:14:51Alright.
00:14:52Let's go pick those pajamas.
00:15:05Something you need?
00:15:09Uh, Mia kicked me out.
00:15:10She absolutely refuses to sleep in the same room as me.
00:15:19Then you sleep on the bed tonight.
00:15:21I'll sleep on the sofa.
00:15:22Then you take the bed.
00:15:24I'll take the couch.
00:15:25If we don't share a room tonight, the staff will start talking.
00:15:28And my mother will have questions.
00:15:30No, no, no.
00:15:31I knew you were going to say that.
00:15:33I've seen enough dramas to see this coming.
00:15:35I'm already one step ahead.
00:15:41Ha!
00:15:42I'm sleeping in here tonight.
00:15:43Cozy and I don't have to deal with you.
00:15:44Win-win.
00:15:46Suit yourself.
00:15:51Hey.
00:15:52Dad.
00:15:53Mom.
00:15:54Kiddo.
00:15:55Mom missed you so much.
00:15:57How are you holding up over there?
00:15:59I'm totally fine.
00:16:01Don't worry.
00:16:02Kiddo.
00:16:02Why are you in a tent?
00:16:04Did your boss do something to you?
00:16:06I'll grab a bat and show up at his door right now.
00:16:08No, Dad.
00:16:09Oh my God.
00:16:09I'm holding up.
00:16:10Don't hang up!
00:16:12Kiddo.
00:16:12Last thing.
00:16:13I mean it.
00:16:13Whatever you do, Dad's got your back.
00:16:15If anyone hurts you, come home.
00:16:17I'll take care of you forever.
00:16:19Me too, baby.
00:16:20We don't need that $500,000.
00:16:23All that matters is that you're happy.
00:16:25Okay, okay.
00:16:26You two are killing me.
00:16:27My signal's terrible.
00:16:28Gotta go.
00:16:28Bye.
00:16:30Your parents are something else.
00:16:33Yeah.
00:16:33That's just how they are.
00:16:35Loud.
00:16:36A lot.
00:16:36Don't mind it.
00:16:37I don't mind.
00:16:39I just kind of envy you.
00:16:42Envy me?
00:16:42Because my parents won't shut up?
00:16:44The way you are with each other.
00:16:46You joke around.
00:16:47You say what you feel.
00:16:47No walls.
00:16:48No filters.
00:16:49Mia never talks to me like that.
00:16:51Around me, she's always walking on eggshells.
00:16:54Adrian, do you trust me?
00:16:56Tomorrow, we are taking Mia out.
00:16:58You want to get closer to her?
00:16:59Then follow my lead.
00:17:01I promise I won't let you down.
00:17:04Deal.
00:17:08Mia, that backpack I picked out is adorable.
00:17:12Huh?
00:17:12Even the store lady said so.
00:17:15Do you love me a little more now?
00:17:21See that?
00:17:22Mia just said she likes me.
00:17:27Oh my god!
00:17:28A photo booth!
00:17:30We have to do it!
00:17:34What kind of dad are you?
00:17:35This is family bonding time and you're saying no?
00:17:38That's on you.
00:17:46Fine.
00:17:47Whatever you say.
00:17:49You heard him, huh?
00:17:51Your dad's in.
00:17:52That's two against one.
00:17:53Majority wins.
00:18:09Don't you dare take those off!
00:18:10I will lose it!
00:18:15Bones!
00:18:16Hand them over.
00:18:21Don't even think about taking them out.
00:18:23I find out you did.
00:18:24I'm putting it in the group chat.
00:18:28This is the first photo dad and I have taken together since mom died.
00:18:34Let's go.
00:18:38God, it's been so long since I've played hero.
00:18:40I'm itching for it.
00:18:42Okay, here's the plan.
00:18:43You two go in, pretend you can't afford anything, let the staff talk down to you,
00:18:47then I storm in with my platinum card and save the day.
00:18:50Fine.
00:18:50Then I go in and get humiliated and you two rescue me.
00:18:54Pick one.
00:19:07Okay?
00:19:08Showtime.
00:19:13How dare you treating them like...
00:19:25Wait.
00:19:26So what's going on?
00:19:28Nobody's actually mistreating anyone here?
00:19:31The entire mall belongs to the Hawthorne's.
00:19:35What you described?
00:19:36That never happens here.
00:19:38Then why didn't you say that sooner?
00:19:40You didn't give me a chance.
00:19:44Whatever.
00:19:45We're already here.
00:19:45Let's just grab something and go.
00:19:48Oh, these are cute.
00:19:50Get three.
00:19:51Me and I can put them on our bags and you can hang one on your phone.
00:20:02Ring it up.
00:20:08Take it.
00:20:13She totally loves it.
00:20:15Such a stubborn little kid.
00:20:21Mia, listen up.
00:20:23If anyone messes with you, call me.
00:20:25If a teacher gives you a hard time, call me.
00:20:28If the cafeteria food is gross, call me.
00:20:30And if you miss me, you better call me.
00:20:36Monica Miller, Rachel Brooks, Patricia Hall, you were the top three candidates in last semester's parent council election.
00:20:43As always, you'll be the first to receive this year invitations.
00:20:47We do hope to see all three of you tomorrow.
00:20:50Principal Cole, you're too kind.
00:20:52I wouldn't miss it.
00:20:56Parent council president?
00:20:57What do they even do?
00:21:01Parent council president?
00:21:04What do they even do?
00:21:06Collect field trip money?
00:21:10Actually, the president has quite a bit of power.
00:21:14Curriculum decisions.
00:21:16Cafeteria oversight.
00:21:18And they have significant influence over academic honors and LOR.
00:21:22That's putting it mildly.
00:21:23They run everything.
00:21:25And if you get on the president's bad side, your kid gets the worst seat at every event, cut from
00:21:29every performance.
00:21:30Trust me, they have ways.
00:21:33Maria's just starting to get back on her feet.
00:21:35I can't let anyone mess with that.
00:21:39I'm running for president!
00:21:45Lady, do you have any idea who's held that position?
00:21:48Finance, real estate, people who actually matter.
00:21:52And that outfit, did you strip that this morning?
00:21:55Very budget conscious of you, huh?
00:21:57Mia Haythorn, you're that weird kid who never talks, huh?
00:22:00Your mom shops at the dollar store, right?
00:22:05Say that again.
00:22:07I dare you.
00:22:08Blake, we don't repeat what the adults say.
00:22:10Oh, kids, right? Don't take it personally.
00:22:12Well, kids only repeat what they're taught at home.
00:22:14You know what I mean?
00:22:15Ladies, let's all take a breath, okay?
00:22:16Since you're interested, please come Saturday.
00:22:18We're all here for the kids.
00:22:20Let's keep it friendly, yes?
00:22:21Thank you, Principal Cole.
00:22:23Fine.
00:22:24See you Saturday.
00:22:25Blake, let's go.
00:22:30Ugh, I swear I'm losing my mind.
00:22:32I'm going after that parent council seat no matter what.
00:22:35If she becomes president, God knows what she'll do to Mia.
00:22:38Go for it.
00:22:39I'll help you pull the materials together and walk through every step with you.
00:22:43Yes!
00:22:44The boss knows how to get things done!
00:22:50Let's go, Mia. Upstairs. Now!
00:22:52We're writing that campaign speech. We are taking Monica Miller down.
00:22:58Emma Reed. Draft an anti-bullying proposal, lunch safety protocol, and student mental health support plan for Mia's school.
00:23:06Run everything through the school board's official process.
00:23:08Have it ready within the day.
00:23:12What?
00:23:14All of that just for a parent council seat?
00:23:18It's not about the seat.
00:23:20Oh, thank God.
00:23:21I was like, there's no way you'd go that far just for-
00:23:24It's so you have the system and the receipts to back you up.
00:23:29Adrian, that is the most human thing you have ever said.
00:23:40Mrs. Miller, you've been president two terms in a row. There's no way anyone's beating you this time. Nobody comes
00:23:46close to what you bring to the table.
00:23:48Oh, Mrs. Miller! I picked this up in France last month. Limited edition. You have to try it. My kid
00:23:54is starting fresh this semester. We're counting on you to look out for her.
00:23:57If I'm president again, I'll treat every single family equally, of course.
00:24:03Oh, my God. Who is that?
00:24:06Who is that?
00:24:26Some people glue on a few feathers and think they're a whole damn peacock.
00:24:31Still beats being nothing at all.
00:24:38Welcome, everyone. We're here today to elect our new parent council president for the semester.
00:24:43Relax, grab some tea. Let's keep it casual. Who wants to go first?
00:24:47Well, I'll go ahead and set the bar.
00:24:49Our family owns an equestrian club on the south side with a long-standing partnership with the Royal Academy of
00:24:53Etiquity in England.
00:24:55Horseback riding, etiquette, golf, I'll fund it all.
00:24:57I filed an anti-bullying policy, a lunch safety plan, and a fully transparent budget.
00:25:02Who's her husband? She's not playing around.
00:25:04My husband is a partner at the largest private healthcare group in the region.
00:25:07VIP hospital access, child psychologist, full nutrition teams, all on call for this school.
00:25:13I filed an anti-bullying policy, a lunch safety plan, and a fully transparent budget.
00:25:17Everyone in this room knows I have been parent council president every single year.
00:25:21My husband's company is Hop 10 National Corporation.
00:25:24We just donated a million to this school.
00:25:27Experience, connections, resources, who here even comes close?
00:25:31I filed three proposals, anti-bullying, lunch safety, and student mental health support.
00:25:38Every dollar accounted for, full transparency.
00:25:41That's all you've got, huh?
00:25:43The same line over and over?
00:25:46If it works, why change it?
00:25:52Okay, everyone.
00:25:53After careful deliberation, this year's parent council president is Miss Riley Carter.
00:26:02Thank you all so much.
00:26:04Anything for the kids, my door is always open because I've got the receipt and the plan to back them
00:26:09up.
00:26:16Well? Well?
00:26:18Tell me I absolutely crushed it today.
00:26:25Oh, come on!
00:26:27You know it was amazing! Stop playing!
00:26:33Here, try this. The chocolate one is insane.
00:26:42Riley! Wow! I had no idea you came this prepared. A full proposal? Monica didn't even come close!
00:26:49Right? We totally underestimated you. Our bad.
00:26:52Please look out for our kids from now on. We're counting on you.
00:27:02Mia! Your mom is seriously so cool!
00:27:05Hey, um, my mom got your mom an apology gift. She wants to make things right. Can you come with
00:27:10me real quick?
00:27:12She's so happy right now. If she gets an apology gift from Monica on top of this, that would make
00:27:18her day even better, right?
00:27:22Okay, follow me.
00:27:26Okay, follow me.
00:27:38Hey, don't go yet!
00:27:43Catch you next time.
00:27:50Mia! Come on, let's go home and celebrate!
00:27:54Mia!
00:27:55Wow. Brand new president and she's already lost her kid. Ew. Pathetic.
00:28:00Move. I don't have time for you.
00:28:09Excuse me. Have you seen my daughter?
00:28:12Sorry, I didn't notice.
00:28:14Mia!
00:28:16Adrian! Mia is gone!
00:28:34No, please don't make me go through this alone.
00:28:43Oh my god, the car's out of control! Someone call 911!
00:28:48Mia, baby, close your eyes. Just listen to my voice. Mom will always be with you.
00:29:03Mom. Mom. I miss you so much.
00:29:17Mom.
00:29:29Mia! Mia, it's okay. I've got you.
00:29:32I'm so sorry. I should have been here sooner.
00:29:39I'm right here. Don't be scared, Mia. I'm not going anywhere. Not ever again.
00:29:50They posted that video. That's why you ran, isn't it?
00:29:55Mia, be good. Stay right here for me, okay? When this is done, I'm taking you home and we're making
00:30:00your favorites. Deal?
00:30:05Well, if it isn't our brand new president.
00:30:13What the hell are you doing?
00:30:15What am I doing, huh?
00:30:18You cornered an 11-year-old in a media room with no signal. So what the hell were you doing?
00:30:23That is not my problem! She went in there herself! Don't you dare put this on me!
00:30:28Oh, Mia is traumatized because of your little cyberbullying campaign and you're standing here acting tough?
00:30:32How is that my fault? She could have opened the door! She could have screamed for help! None of this
00:30:37is on me!
00:30:41We are far from done.
00:30:46Try to destroy me, huh? No way!
00:30:51Don't you touch her!
00:30:57Mia, you can talk?
00:31:02Mia! Oh my god, you actually spoke!
00:31:13Mia...
00:31:13Wait, she actually talked?
00:31:17Mia is not some freak. You make one more joke about her trauma, I dare you.
00:31:23So what? She couldn't talk before and now she squeaks out a few words, big deal.
00:31:29And you? Recording me like that in front of everyone? Listen, this is not over.
00:31:35Not over? Fine.
00:31:38What are you doing? Back off!
00:31:40You pull that video anywhere public, I will sue you so fast your head will spin!
00:31:44A lawyer? Perfect. Because I've already filed a formal complaint.
00:31:57Formal complaint. Surveillance footage. Legal notice. All three delivered.
00:32:07You dare put me on blast? You are so dead!
00:32:16Mrs. Miller! Back off! Everyone needs to calm down right now!
00:32:22No way! They teamed up to destroy me!
00:32:25What, you got money so the rules don't apply?
00:32:28I'm calling my lawyer!
00:32:30I'm taking this straight to the school district!
00:32:35Oh, please do.
00:32:36We're ready to talk about the safety violations,
00:32:39the cyberbullying of a minor,
00:32:42and your little behavior problem today.
00:32:45All of it.
00:32:46Bullshit!
00:32:47One video proves nothing!
00:32:49Why is everyone always going after her?
00:32:51Huh?
00:32:54Is this clear enough for you?
00:32:56Is it?
00:32:57Today, everyone sees exactly what happened.
00:33:00Ah, you crazy bitch!
00:33:05Remember this.
00:33:07Nobody hurts Mia.
00:33:08Nobody.
00:33:09The best doctors, all the money in the world.
00:33:11None of it comes close to someone who truly loves her.
00:33:14Riley, thank you.
00:33:15Mia, if anyone ever messes with you again,
00:33:17first find a reliable adult, then call me.
00:33:19I will always have your back.
00:33:21Mm-hmm.
00:33:21And if you can't reach us in time,
00:33:23step back, find an adult,
00:33:24call 911 or the school safety line.
00:33:27Remember, keeping yourself safe is not weakness.
00:33:29Remember this. Step back, shout no,
00:33:32get to a crowd, hit record,
00:33:34go straight to the front office or a teacher.
00:33:41Thank you, boss.
00:33:43Super graceful, I know.
00:33:45I'm sure I do love it,
00:33:47but I need your lips all night.
00:33:50Can you just get more?
00:33:53Where's all your...
00:34:03Adrian Hawthorne?
00:34:07Adrian Hawthorne?
00:34:08Adrian, so there's something thing and I kind of need to ask you.
00:34:12What?
00:34:14It's just...
00:34:15Fourth of July weekend is coming up,
00:34:17and I was wondering, would it be okay if maybe I...
00:34:20if maybe you... what?
00:34:23Can I please have a few days off so I can go home and spend Fourth of July with my
00:34:26parents?
00:34:28Just three days!
00:34:30Actually, two days is fine too.
00:34:32Two days don't work?
00:34:34Oh, okay, one day works too, I guess.
00:34:37I'm giving you seven days off.
00:34:39You can head home tomorrow.
00:34:41Really?
00:34:44Really?
00:34:45I'll stay with Mia while you're gone.
00:34:47Adrian, you are literally a saint!
00:34:51Baby girl!
00:34:52I'll be back before you know it!
00:34:54And I'm having my mom make her famous pot roast just for you!
00:35:03Thank you, boss! You're amazing!
00:35:22What outfit is even worthy of my grand homecoming?
00:35:27Mia?
00:35:29Mia?
00:35:30Mia?
00:35:30Get over here!
00:35:31Help me pick an outfit!
00:35:39Mia?
00:35:40Mia?
00:35:43Where is she?
00:35:49That room...
00:35:51Adrian barely ever goes in there.
00:35:56Mia?
00:36:00Mia?
00:36:01Mom...
00:36:06I'm sorry...
00:36:09Mia?
00:36:14Mia?
00:36:15Hey, what's wrong?
00:36:20Why are you in here crying all by yourself?
00:36:22This is my mom's room.
00:36:26This is my mom's room.
00:36:29Your mom, she...
00:36:32These clothes...
00:36:35They still smell like her.
00:36:38Whenever kids would pick on me and...
00:36:41I'd come home crying, mom would hold me just like this.
00:36:46She'd say...
00:36:47As long as mom's here, nobody's gonna hurt you.
00:36:51But that day, there was a car.
00:36:54It came out of nowhere.
00:36:55And mom just threw herself at me.
00:36:58And then...
00:37:01And...
00:37:02Shhh...
00:37:03Stop.
00:37:04You don't have to say it.
00:37:06It's okay, Mia.
00:37:07It's over.
00:37:08It's over.
00:37:14It's over.
00:37:16Riley, you protect me too.
00:37:21You got me my little bunny.
00:37:23You stay with me when I'm scared
00:37:25You're so, so good to me
00:37:31Because our Mia is the sweetest girl in the world
00:37:34But I feel like I'm betraying mom
00:37:37Because I keep liking you more and more
00:37:40And I'm scared
00:37:43I'm scared she's watching from heaven
00:37:45And she's angry
00:37:46Like I'm replacing her
00:37:51Mia
00:37:52Listen to me
00:37:53You haven't betrayed anyone
00:37:58There's something I never told you
00:37:59Your dad and I
00:38:01We're not actually a real couple
00:38:06I signed a contract with your dad
00:38:08He paid me to take care of you
00:38:10To protect you
00:38:11So you were only good to me because
00:38:14It was your job
00:38:16At first, yeah
00:38:17I just didn't want to lose a cushy gig
00:38:20But then
00:38:21I don't even know when it changed
00:38:23When someone hurt you
00:38:25I was genuinely furious
00:38:27When you sat down and actually ate a real meal
00:38:29I was so happy I could burst
00:38:31And when they locked you in that storage room
00:38:33I was ready to tear the whole damn place apart
00:38:37Mia, if it hurts too much
00:38:39You don't have to call me mom
00:38:40You already have a mom
00:38:41She gave everything to protect you
00:38:43And she'll always live in your heart
00:38:47Me?
00:38:48I can just be that
00:38:51Loud
00:38:52Annoying
00:38:54Always in your corner
00:38:55Best friend
00:38:56Okay?
00:38:58I know
00:38:59I know you really, truly care about me
00:39:03I knew it
00:39:04Our little Mia has been totally charmed by me this whole time
00:39:07Stubborn little thing
00:39:10Don't go shy on me now
00:39:12Get up, get up
00:39:13Watch your head
00:39:15I'll be gone a few days
00:39:17So be good
00:39:18Okay?
00:39:19When I'm back
00:39:19I'm bringing ten pot roasts
00:39:22We're eating until you hiccup
00:39:39Clear the extra setting
00:39:40Yes, sir
00:39:48You're not eating
00:39:49Something wrong with the food?
00:39:51I'm just not hungry
00:39:57It's too quiet
00:39:59I don't like it
00:40:06Mia, this one's amazing
00:40:08And this one, too
00:40:09Come on, eat up
00:40:10Oh, look at this little veggie
00:40:12Isn't it cute?
00:40:13Here comes the airplane
00:40:22Go get changed
00:40:23What?
00:40:24Where are we going?
00:40:25To crash someone's dinner
00:40:26And bring her home
00:40:28Really?
00:40:29Like right now?
00:40:31No
00:40:43Hey, what's wrong?
00:40:46I forgot to bring something
00:40:48Oh no
00:40:49You can't show up empty-handed

00:41:37Riley!
00:41:39What are you doing here?
00:41:41Mom sent me out for soy sauce
00:41:43Walked out and caught

00:42:28Just my luck
00:42:35Wait, why did you guys show up out of nowhere?
00:42:38It was Mia
00:42:40She wouldn't stop asking to see you all morning
00:42:42I couldn't hold her back
00:42:48Is this enough?
00:42:48I can have my assistant send more over
00:42:51No, no
00:42:52My family doesn't care about that stuff
00:42:55Hawthorne, are you nervous right now?
00:42:58No
00:42:58Absolutely not
00:43:00You're imagining things
00:43:03Relax
00:43:04My parents are super warm
00:43:06You'll be fine
00:43:17Mia, eat more honey
00:43:19You're way too skinny
00:43:20I made those chicken wings just for you
00:43:22Try them
00:43:25Adrian, help yourself
00:43:27Don't be shy
00:43:28Treat this like your own home
00:43:32Thank you
00:43:33Thank you, Grandma
00:43:33Thank you, Ma'am
00:43:36I saw you going back for more
00:43:37Take as much as you want
00:43:40Adrian
00:43:41Riley's been a troublemaker since she was little
00:43:44I'm sure she's given you a hard time
00:43:46Hasn't she?
00:43:48Not at all
00:43:49She takes great care of Mia
00:43:50I'm the one who should be thanking her
00:43:55See?
00:43:56Even five is singing your praises
00:43:58Take good care of four over there
00:44:01And stop giving that poor child a hard time
00:44:05I know, I know
00:44:07I adore Mia, okay?
00:44:12Oh, thanks
00:44:31Try this
00:44:32I slow cooked it for three hours
00:44:34Rich, but not greasy
00:44:36This was your favorite when you were little
00:44:38Yeah
00:44:39You actually got into a fight
00:44:41With your cousin
00:44:42Over the last piece of pot roast
00:44:44Even flipped the whole bowl
00:44:46Right on his head
00:44:48Dad
00:44:50Why do you tell people everything?
00:44:52That was forever ago
00:44:53Oh, and when you were seven
00:44:55You snuck the eggs out of the fridge
00:44:57To hatch baby chicks
00:44:58Every single one went rotten
00:45:00The whole house reached
00:45:03Mom!
00:45:07Oh, tomorrow's 4th of July weekend
00:45:09If you don't have plans
00:45:11Why don't you and three grotty
00:45:12Stay and celebrate with us
00:45:15You can't do better
00:45:17Yes!
00:45:26Ta-da!
00:45:27Welcome to my happy little kingdom
00:45:29Now officially open to the public
00:45:37You're staying in here tonight
00:45:39The guest room's freezing right now
00:45:41You'll catch a cold
00:45:42So, which color do you want?
00:45:47Blue
00:45:49Once you pick it, you're wearing it
00:45:51No takebacks
00:45:56That's zero!
00:45:57The greatest hero
00:45:58The greatest hero in the entire universe
00:46:00Sleep in that
00:46:01Even the mosquitoes
00:46:02Will not dare touch you
00:46:04Do I really have to?
00:46:06Absolutely
00:46:11Are you sure we're not bothering your parents?
00:46:14We kind of showed up out of nowhere
00:46:17Are you kidding?
00:46:18They love having you guys here
00:46:19She's absolutely right
00:46:23Oh, hey
00:46:24What a coincidence
00:46:26If you're gonna eavesdrop
00:46:28At least don't blow your own cover
00:46:31We just came to tell you
00:46:32We're all going out for breakfast tomorrow
00:46:34Don't sleep in
00:46:37Pass
00:46:37I'm sleeping in
00:46:38Just bring me back some pancakes
00:46:40No way
00:46:41You keep this up
00:46:42And you're gonna rot
00:46:47Mom
00:46:47Mom
00:46:49Best mom
00:46:50In the whole world
00:46:52Stop wiggling around
00:46:54I'm counting to three
00:46:55No, mom
00:46:57Love me just a little more
00:47:01Get some rest, Mia
00:47:02Good night, honey
00:47:06Come on, let's go
00:47:07Stop bothering Mia
00:47:10We're going out together tomorrow
00:47:20This room smells just like mom
00:47:22Warm and sweet
00:47:28Hawthorne
00:47:31Come sleep in my room
00:47:41Ta-da
00:47:42Your very own VIP sleeping spot
00:47:44Come check it out
00:47:51Okay, look
00:47:52This was the only blanket left
00:47:54My mom bought a ton of these back when she got married
00:48:00Ha!
00:48:01Yeah
00:48:02I bought this one myself, okay?
00:48:04Mom has no idea
00:48:05Anyway
00:48:05It's late
00:48:06Go to sleep
00:48:13Hey
00:48:14Thank you
00:48:28Thank you for taking care of Mia
00:48:29And for showing me what a real home feels like
00:48:33If you ever want anything
00:48:35Just tell me
00:48:36Anything
00:48:36Anything
00:48:41Novak
00:48:42Alien
00:48:43It's late
00:48:44Phoenix
00:48:45It's not
00:48:57It's nice
00:48:59You
00:48:59Some people
00:49:00Know
00:49:04And
00:49:06Can

00:55:52Don't listen to her. I'll put any bakery to shame, and you know it.
00:55:55Sure you will.
00:55:57Mom, the custard one your favorite. Dad, pecans all yours.
00:56:02Thank you, sweetie.
00:56:05Mmm. Nobody loves me like my kiddo does.
00:56:13Baby, chocolate cream, your favorite?
00:56:16Thank you, Dad.
00:56:17Dad.
00:56:20Mia, what did you just call me?
00:56:25Dad.
00:56:30Hey, Dad's right here.
00:56:32Oh, this is so good.
00:56:33Come on, raise your cups to family being together.
00:56:39Adrian, no more being a stranger, all right?
00:56:42I can see raising a kid on your own isn't easy.
00:56:44From now on, we're brothers.
00:56:46We'll swap tips, figure it out together.
00:56:50Sir, I'd rather think of you as family.
00:56:52The elder kind.
00:56:55Fair enough.
00:56:56Just don't get tired of this rough old man.
00:57:03Adrian, it's just fireworks.
00:57:05They're crap.
00:57:07Yeah, beautiful.
00:57:17Mia, Mia, look.
00:57:19Look at that one.
00:57:20Oh, my God, that is huge.
00:57:22Pretty.
00:57:24How old are you again?
00:57:26Acting like a little kid.
00:57:27Letter B.
00:57:28Better than bottling it up.
00:57:38Mom.
00:57:40Adrian, we're having a family dinner the day after tomorrow.
00:57:43Bring Mia.
00:57:43And that girl you're with, bring her too.
00:57:45Come home.
00:57:46Mom, I...
00:57:47Relax.
00:57:48It's just dinner.
00:57:49Family needs to be together.
00:57:51Got it.
00:57:52Hey.
00:57:53What's wrong?
00:57:54Who was that?
00:57:56My mom wants me to bring you to the family estate.
00:57:59If you don't want to go, I'll handle it.
00:58:01You don't have to.
00:58:02Vivian Hawthorne.
00:58:03The woman who built half the Hawthorne Empire from nothing?
00:58:07What's she like?
00:58:08My mom.
00:58:09She built Hawthorne Holdings on her own.
00:58:11But then, she gave it all up to come home for me.
00:58:15So he makes this face too?
00:58:17Not the man in control of everything.
00:58:19Just a son who feels like he let his mom down.
00:58:21Mia, you want to go?
00:58:23No.
00:58:27I want to.
00:58:29All right.
00:58:30Then tomorrow, we all go full squad to the Hawthorne family estate.
00:58:36Take this for protection.
00:58:43Mom, wish me better luck, okay?
00:58:46Your mom's right.
00:58:48I'm not bringing that to the Hawthorne estate.
00:58:51Absolutely not.
00:59:05This place makes every mansion on TV look cheap.
00:59:09Adrian, you're back.
00:59:11And that is...
00:59:20Mom.
00:59:25Mia's here.
00:59:27Grandma.
00:59:29She's talking now?
00:59:31That's all, Riley.
00:59:34Oh, this is just Mia's toy.
00:59:36Hi, ma'am.
00:59:37I'm...
00:59:37This is my partner, Riley Carter.
00:59:40I knew it.
00:59:42Getting Adrian to find Mia a mom was the right call.
00:59:45Oh, that's wonderful.
00:59:47You must be Riley.
00:59:48You've done so much for Mia.
00:59:50We all owe you a thank you.
00:59:55I'm Adrian's aunt.
00:59:56Just call me whatever he calls me.
01:00:02Who's that?
01:00:03Grandma's favorite.
01:00:05Dad's nephew.
01:00:05My cousin.
01:00:06A total spoiled brat.
01:00:07Wow.
01:00:08A man of so many titles.
01:00:10Vivian!
01:00:11What the hell are you standing around for?
01:00:13Add dried tangerine peel to Tyler's soup.
01:00:15His throat's been acting up.
01:00:17And the pigeon broth needs three hours mineral water only.
01:00:19That's the Hawthorne family way.
01:00:21Now go!
01:00:22What are you waiting for?
01:00:26Something's off about every single person in this family.
01:00:41Come on, Elaine.
01:00:42Eat up.
01:00:43Tyler, dig in.
01:00:44You love shrimp.
01:00:45Our Tyler's still growing.
01:00:47He needs all the shrimp he can get.
01:00:49Well, pretty sure Adrian likes shrimp, too.
01:00:53Adrian, you've been gone so long.
01:00:55Eat more.
01:00:56This braised fish is Vivian's specialty.
01:00:59You used to love it as a kid.
01:01:01And this soup, she had it simmering all afternoon.
01:01:04This woman used to shake the entire business world.
01:01:07Now she's being treated like an unpaid caregiver?
01:01:09And some aunt who barely knows her is sitting there playing lady of the house?
01:01:15Hey, Adrian.
01:01:16Word is your company needs a general manager.
01:01:18I'm a Hawthorne man.
01:01:19Seems like that seat's got my name on it.
01:01:20Tyler's right.
01:01:21Adrian, he's this family's grandson.
01:01:23Your only cousin.
01:01:24You should look out for him.
01:01:25Your uncle died young.
01:01:26They've had it rough ever since.
01:01:27You gotta help when you can.
01:01:28If it's too much trouble for Adrian, just forget it.
01:01:32Elaine, what are you saying?
01:01:34Tyler finally asks for one thing.
01:01:36It's not that big a deal.
01:01:36Just give it to him.
01:01:41Like hell you will!
01:01:45On what grounds?
01:01:47He just gets to demand it?
01:01:49Has he ever run a single project?
01:01:50Hit one target?
01:01:51Done anything?
01:01:52He opens his mouth and wants to be general manager?
01:01:55Have you no shame?
01:01:56Riley Carter!
01:01:57Who gave you the right to speak at this table, huh?
01:02:00I am Adrian Hawthorne's legally contracted partner.
01:02:03Someone's trying to take what belongs to my husband and I don't get a say.
01:02:06Really?
01:02:06Who the hell do you think you are?
01:02:08You came out of nowhere and now you're sticking your nose in Hawthorne family business?
01:02:11Tyler, enough!
01:02:12Apologize right now!
01:02:13No way!
01:02:15In this house, my uncle had my back.
01:02:17Grandma loves me most.
01:02:19Nobody here touches me!
01:02:26No one disciplines you, right?
01:02:29Oh, really?
01:02:36Fine.
01:02:37Then we play by the rules.
01:02:42Are you insane?
01:02:44What the hell do you think you're doing?
01:02:46Show your resume.
01:02:47Your results!
01:02:49Stop using the family name as a free pass!
01:02:53How dare you!
01:02:54Nobody touches my grandson!
01:02:56Stop it right now!
01:02:57Riley Carter, back off!
01:02:58This is the Hawthorne family home, not a damn circus.
01:03:04So, all this time, he didn't need me to suffer in silence to protect this family's image.
01:03:11He needed someone to stand up and fight.
01:03:14Stop it!
01:03:15Just stop!
01:03:16This is all my fault!
01:03:19I never should have stayed.
01:03:22We'll leave.
01:03:24We'll get out of here, okay?
01:03:25Elaine, don't!
01:03:26This is not your fault!
01:03:28Riley Carter, look what you've done!
01:03:31Are you serious?
01:03:32You bend over backwards for someone else's kid more than your own son.
01:03:38Tyler could do no wrong in your eyes, even if he tried.
01:03:42Charles, thank you.
01:03:45You've been so good to Tyler.
01:03:48It's my fault.
01:03:49After his father passed, I failed him as a mother.
01:03:52Keep your voice down.
01:03:54A grown woman living in her ex-husband's family home.
01:03:58Blurring every boundary.
01:04:00Using guilt as a blank check.
01:04:03Is that really something to be proud of?
01:04:05Shut the fuck up!
01:04:08Don't you dare talk about my mom like that!
01:04:14Slanter, huh?
01:04:15I'm just saying what everyone in this room is too scared to admit.
01:04:19Riley Carter, shut the fuck up!
01:04:22Stop yelling.
01:04:23I can hear you just fine.
01:04:26Apologize.
01:04:27Now!
01:04:28No.
01:04:29Vivian!
01:04:30Keep your daughter-in-law in line!
01:04:38That's not my call to make.
01:04:40How do you...
01:04:42She's an adult.
01:04:43She has her own mind.
01:04:45And every single fight over the years, you sided with Elaine.
01:04:48I let it go.
01:04:51But you're turning on your own son
01:04:54for an outsider.
01:04:56Taking everything I've given this family for granted.
01:04:58You really think that's okay?
01:05:01An outsider?
01:05:02Elaine is an outsider?
01:05:04She's your sister-in-law!
01:05:06Your brother's widow!
01:05:08How could you be so cruel?
01:05:11Brother has been gone for 20 years.
01:05:13How much longer are you going to let her hold this family hostage?
01:05:20Vivian, please, stop.
01:05:23I know.
01:05:24I know it's been hard on you and Hadrian
01:05:27because of me and Tyler.
01:05:30I swear, we'll leave.
01:05:32We'll disappear.
01:05:34Just don't make things harder for Charles.
01:05:39I'm begging you.
01:05:41Enough!
01:05:50You used to be so tough.
01:05:52What happened to you now, huh?
01:05:56Huh?
01:06:08Mia, be good.
01:06:11Go play with the staff for a little while, okay?
01:06:18The GM position, not happening.
01:06:22None of it is happening.
01:06:24What?
01:06:24My mom spent 20 years as an unpaid caregiver in this family.
01:06:31And you all treated her like dirt!
01:06:36And you, Elaine Parker, 20 years under our roof, our food, our money.
01:06:44My father neglected his own wife and kids for you.
01:06:48Does that seem fair to you?
01:06:55Dad, you blurred every line for Elaine.
01:06:58You hounded your own wife.
01:06:59You hounded your own son.
01:07:01Did you ever, even once, stop to think about how mom felt?
01:07:06That's not what I...
01:07:08My mom couldn't enjoy this dinner.
01:07:12Neither will any of you.
01:07:17Dinner's over.
01:07:19Right now, say exactly what needs to be said.
01:07:23All of you.
01:07:28I used to think if I just kept the peace, this family wouldn't fall apart.
01:07:32Riley made me realize some lines have to be drawn right then and there.
01:07:45Please don't take it to heart.
01:07:48Adrienne didn't mean it like that.
01:07:50Am I just...
01:07:53A total failure?
01:07:57Are you kidding?
01:07:59You built Hawthorne from the ground up on your own.
01:08:03Everyone respects you.
01:08:05I've always looked up to you.
01:08:08What does any of that matter?
01:08:10I failed my own son.
01:08:14When Adrian was little,
01:08:16his dad and I were at each other's throats over Elaine's situation.
01:08:20Fighting every single day.
01:08:23I buried myself in work just to escape.
01:08:26And I missed the years.
01:08:29He needed me most.
01:08:32When he shut down,
01:08:34I knew I'd made a mistake.
01:08:37So I handed him everything I'd built.
01:08:42I came back.
01:08:44I wanted to give him a real family.
01:08:48And no matter what they did to me for Adrian's sake,
01:08:51I stayed silent.
01:08:53Then today,
01:08:54I watched you stand up for him.
01:08:58And he smiled.
01:09:00And he smiled.
01:09:00I haven't seen him smile like that in years.
01:09:04Tell me honestly,
01:09:06did I get everything wrong?
01:09:09I know you love him.
01:09:11But you know what?
01:09:14Every time you stepped back,
01:09:17you were slowly suffocating him.
01:09:20You thought staying quiet was protecting him.
01:09:23But all you did was teach him to swallow his pain too.
01:09:26I...
01:09:27I never saw it that way.
01:09:29But doesn't Adrian deserve a real family?
01:09:35That was never the kind of family I wanted.
01:09:52Mom,
01:09:54you know what I actually resent?
01:09:56It's not that you were absent from my childhood.
01:09:58It's that you,
01:09:59the strongest woman I know,
01:10:01let those people walk all over you.
01:10:04When I was a kid,
01:10:06people would ask,
01:10:06what does your mom do?
01:10:09I was so proud, I'd say.
01:10:12She runs the business world.
01:10:13You were my role model.
01:10:16I wanted to be just like you.
01:10:19Then you came back.
01:10:22And at first,
01:10:23I was so happy.
01:10:25But the woman who came back,
01:10:27she just took it.
01:10:29Every time.
01:10:31Without a word.
01:10:33Do you have any idea
01:10:35what it felt like watching you?
01:10:37I thought it's all because of me
01:10:39that you ended up in this broken...
01:10:41I'm sorry,
01:10:42Adrian.
01:10:43I'm so sorry.
01:10:47Stop saying sorry.
01:10:49What you both want
01:10:51is a home where you actually can rest easy.
01:10:55But neither of you has ever stopped to ask,
01:10:58what do you actually need?
01:11:00Then what am I supposed to do?
01:11:01I've stayed silent for years.
01:11:04What options do I even have left?
01:11:08Divorce.
01:11:09Or at the very least,
01:11:11a legal separation
01:11:11with clear financial boundaries.
01:11:14Divorce.
01:11:15Yes.
01:11:17Starting today,
01:11:18no more being the dignified victim.
01:11:20It's time to be the woman who says no.
01:11:32Vivian.
01:11:33Where's my breakfast?
01:11:35Stop dragging your feet.
01:11:36I have a meeting later.
01:11:38Vivian!
01:11:39Did you hear him?
01:11:40Charles is calling for you.
01:11:41You've got some nerve.
01:11:49Divorce papers?
01:11:51She actually had the nerve?
01:11:53Oh,
01:11:53I can't believe Vivian had it in her
01:11:56to actually split up with Charles.
01:11:58Good riddance.
01:11:59The Hawthorne family doesn't need her.
01:12:01No way.
01:12:02I am not signing these!
01:12:09There's no way she'd actually leave me.
01:12:11No.
01:12:16Mom!
01:12:17That woman is finally out of the picture.
01:12:19The Hawthorne family is ours now!
01:12:21I'll give her credit.
01:12:22She held on longer than I expected.
01:12:25So about the GM position for me?
01:12:27Please.
01:12:28Charles is easy to handle.
01:12:29A little sweet talk
01:12:30and he'll give you whatever you want.
01:12:33So this is who I've been defending all along.
01:12:37Vivian,
01:12:37what have I done to you all these years?
01:12:43Mom,
01:12:44stop thinking about all that.
01:12:46From today on,
01:12:47we never have to put up with any of them
01:12:49ever again.
01:12:55Get lost,
01:12:56you jerk!
01:12:57Charles Hawthorne,
01:12:58you absolutely
01:12:59bastard!
01:13:02Mom,
01:13:03try it.
01:13:04It feels amazing,
01:13:05I promise.
01:13:06I,
01:13:07I don't know about that.
01:13:08Come on,
01:13:08just try it.
01:13:09Say it with me.
01:13:10Get lost,
01:13:11you jerk!
01:13:15Get lost,
01:13:16you jerk.
01:13:17Yes!
01:13:18Louder!
01:13:19Let it all out!
01:13:22Get lost,
01:13:23you jerk!
01:13:27Get lost,
01:13:28you jerk.
01:13:42Lesson 1.
01:13:44The Boundary Pusher
01:13:46Someone drops to the floor
01:13:48and says,
01:13:49I'll camp out at your door
01:13:51and make sure everyone knows
01:13:52what you did to me.
01:13:54What do you say?
01:13:57I'm not leaving.
01:13:58I'm going live,
01:14:00right outside your door.
01:14:02Everyone's gonna know
01:14:03what you did to me!
01:14:05Wait,
01:14:05wait,
01:14:05wait.
01:14:06Let's talk this out.
01:14:07Don't do anything crazy.
01:14:09Wrong!
01:14:09Push back!
01:14:10Not baby her!
01:14:11Again!
01:14:11Oh,
01:14:13she wants to go live
01:14:15outside my door?
01:14:17Yeah,
01:14:17here's what you say.
01:14:19Then go ahead and title that stream
01:14:20because I'll be right there
01:14:21with the receipts,
01:14:23the bills,
01:14:23and the security footage.
01:14:27Lesson 2.
01:14:28The fake victim.
01:14:30She grabs your arm,
01:14:32sobbing,
01:14:32please don't get the wrong idea.
01:14:35Nothing's going on between us.
01:14:37I had nowhere else to turn.
01:14:39What do you say?
01:14:41Then...
01:14:41Then don't go to him anymore?
01:14:44Too weak!
01:14:45You're made of marshmallows!
01:14:48Grow a spine!
01:14:57Then call a lawyer
01:14:59or a therapist.
01:15:02Stay away from my husband.
01:15:04Yes!
01:15:05That's it!
01:15:06That's exactly it!
01:15:07Look at you!
01:15:08I always knew you were a genius!
01:15:10But...
01:15:12What if I freeze up in the moment
01:15:14and go completely blank?
01:15:16Don't worry.
01:15:17I've got you covered.
01:15:19No matter what she says,
01:15:22just hit her with you
01:15:24have no right
01:15:26to cross this line.
01:15:28Works every single time.
01:15:29Okay.
01:15:30I trust you.
01:15:38Mom, are you done eating?
01:15:40Let's go!
01:15:42Go where?
01:15:43We're going out
01:15:44to practice for real.
01:15:46Practice what?
01:15:47I'm coming too!
01:15:49Get to school.
01:15:50This is grown-up stuff.
01:15:51Stay out of it.
01:15:53Dad?
01:15:55Be good.
01:15:56Go to school.
01:15:59Dad, where are you going?
01:16:00I thought kids weren't allowed.
01:16:09Last 30 crabs,
01:16:1020 bucks each.
01:16:11First come,
01:16:12first serve.
01:16:13Gone when they're gone.
01:16:17I was here before you.
01:16:22I was here before you.
01:16:25Look at you.
01:16:26Dressed like some rich lady
01:16:27fighting over a few cheap crabs.
01:16:30Give me a break.
01:16:32Please, wait your turn.
01:16:34This is a public stall.
01:16:36Excuse me?
01:16:38You dare lecture me?
01:16:39I said, wait your turn.
01:16:41You want to start something?
01:16:43Fine!
01:16:43Move!
01:16:44Everybody move!
01:16:45Nobody messes with my mom!
01:16:47I'm coming!
01:16:49Hey!
01:16:50Everyone stop!
01:16:51Let's talk this out!
01:16:59Wow.
01:17:01Today was amazing.
01:17:03So much fun.
01:17:07I never realized
01:17:08how suffocating my life was
01:17:10until after the divorce.
01:17:12Riley, thank you.
01:17:14And I don't just mean
01:17:15for the divorce.
01:17:21Since you came into our lives,
01:17:23this finally feels
01:17:24like a real home.
01:17:26And I finally get to be there
01:17:28for my son.
01:17:30Mom, stop.
01:17:32We're family now.
01:17:34That's what family does.
01:17:39Yes!
01:17:40We're family!
01:17:43Vivian!
01:17:45Vivian!
01:17:49Vivian!
01:17:51Vivian!
01:17:51Wait up!
01:17:53What do you want?
01:17:54Vivian!
01:17:56Damn.
01:17:57Vivian, I'm not here to fight.
01:17:58We're family.
01:17:59Let's just talk this out, okay?
01:18:01Vivian, Charles is right.
01:18:03We're family.
01:18:04Nothing should come between us.
01:18:05I came here today
01:18:06specifically to apologize to you.
01:18:13Vivian, I've been out of line
01:18:14for 20 years.
01:18:15I've been meaning to move out
01:18:16for a long time.
01:18:17I just, I couldn't bear
01:18:18to pull Tyler away from you all.
01:18:20Tyler, apologize to your aunt.
01:18:22Now.
01:18:22Aunt.
01:18:24I'm, I'm sorry.
01:18:26That it?
01:18:30Vivian, if you won't forgive me,
01:18:32I don't even deserve to be alive!
01:18:34I might as well just slam my head
01:18:36into that pillar and die!
01:18:37Elaine, what the hell are you doing?
01:18:41Go ahead, then.
01:18:43I'll even bring a gift
01:18:44to the funeral.
01:18:48Vivian, what did you just say?
01:18:51I said,
01:18:52if you're gonna drop dead,
01:18:54hurry up and do it.
01:18:55Vivian, there's nothing going on
01:18:56between Charles and me,
01:18:57I swear.
01:18:58I had nowhere else to turn.
01:19:00It's just been me and my son.
01:19:01We had no one.
01:19:02So what?
01:19:03That's not my problem.
01:19:04Don't you dare drag me
01:19:05into your mess.
01:19:06Vivian, watch your mouth.
01:19:07And who the hell are you?
01:19:09You!
01:19:10What?
01:19:10You're a deadbeat
01:19:11who never worked a day in his life
01:19:12begging for a general manager title?
01:19:14Huh.
01:19:14Pathetic parasite.
01:19:20Vivian, that's enough.
01:19:22Well, you're next.
01:19:22Charles Hawthorne,
01:19:23I was willing to walk away clean,
01:19:24but you just couldn't let it go.
01:19:26You had to drag these two here
01:19:27to disgust me.
01:19:28Fine.
01:19:28Every single dollar
01:19:29you ever wired
01:19:30to Elaine and Tyler,
01:19:31every last thing you bought them,
01:19:33I'm calling my lawyer
01:19:34and I'm getting all of it back.
01:19:44Vivian,
01:19:44does it really have to be this way?
01:19:46Do you have to burn everything down?
01:19:49I promise I'll cut them off.
01:19:50I'll stay away from them.
01:19:51Stop!
01:19:53I don't care about you and them.
01:19:55That's not my business.
01:19:56Vivian,
01:19:57I know I was wrong.
01:19:58Just give me one chance.
01:20:00One.
01:20:00I'll spend the rest of my life
01:20:01making it up to you.
01:20:03Charles,
01:20:03if you have even an ounce
01:20:05of dignity left,
01:20:07stop embarrassing yourself.
01:20:08Do something useful.
01:20:10Go sign the divorce papers.
01:20:12From now on,
01:20:13we go our separate ways.
01:20:14Don't make me look down
01:20:15on you even more.
01:20:17Wait!
01:20:18Wait!
01:20:19Adrian,
01:20:20you're not even going to say
01:20:21anything for your own dad?
01:20:22Tyler Parker is your son,
01:20:24not me.
01:20:28Adrian!
01:20:30Adrian!
01:20:30Adrian!
01:20:35Mom.
01:20:37You and Riley.
01:20:38It was a fake marriage
01:20:39from the start,
01:20:40wasn't it?
01:20:40How did you know?
01:20:41Please.
01:20:42Your acting was terrible,
01:20:43both of you.
01:20:44She was sleeping in a tent
01:20:45in your room,
01:20:45for God's sake.
01:20:47I'm old,
01:20:48not blind.
01:20:50Now that Mia's back in school,
01:20:51and the whole act is over.
01:20:54What's your plan?
01:20:56What do you mean?
01:20:58Riley Carter!
01:21:00Are you just going to
01:21:01hand her a check
01:21:01and wave goodbye?
01:21:03Seriously?
01:21:06I-
01:21:07Hey,
01:21:08don't you want to make it real?
01:21:10Can you honestly stand there
01:21:11and watch her marry
01:21:11someone else one day?
01:21:14She only agreed to this
01:21:16because of the money.
01:21:18Oh, God.
01:21:19If she didn't care about you,
01:21:20why would she go up
01:21:21against your father,
01:21:22Elaine and her son,
01:21:23for me?
01:21:24Why would she spend
01:21:25every single day
01:21:26finding new ways
01:21:28to make Mia smile?
01:21:29You really think so?
01:21:32Obviously.
01:21:33Now listen.
01:21:34First,
01:21:35tear up that stupid contract.
01:21:37Stop putting a price tag
01:21:39on what you two have.
01:21:41Then go tell her
01:21:43how you feel.
01:21:44And propose.
01:21:46Alright.
01:21:46I'll transfer the $500,000
01:21:48in right now.
01:21:49Close out the contract.
01:21:56Perfect, Vivian.
01:21:58Mia should be getting
01:21:59out of school
01:22:00right about now.
01:22:01This charm is the matching
01:22:02pair to her other one.
01:22:03She's going to love it.
01:22:05Dad!
01:22:08Why are you so happy?
01:22:09Dad, I got a perfect score
01:22:10on my math test today.
01:22:12My teacher praised me
01:22:13in front of the whole class.
01:22:14That's my girl.
01:22:15Oh, and I entered
01:22:16the school art competition.
01:22:18My teacher said my painting
01:22:19is going to be shown
01:22:19at the city exhibit.
01:22:21Yeah?
01:22:21And we're going out to her.
01:22:23Big dinner.
01:22:24We're celebrating.
01:22:25Yes.
01:22:26And we have to bring Riley.
01:22:46Adrian Hawthorne,
01:22:47who the hell
01:22:47does he think he is?
01:22:49$500,000.
01:22:50Pretend to be my partner.
01:22:51Play stepmom to Mia.
01:22:53Keep her happy.
01:22:55That's all you need to do.
01:22:58Yes, sir.
01:23:00Nothing in this room
01:23:01ever really belonged to me.
01:23:07I don't know.
01:23:08I don't know.
01:23:21Hey, Mom.
01:23:22Missing me already?
01:23:23Sweetheart.
01:23:24When are you bringing
01:23:25Adrian and Mia
01:23:27over for dinner?
01:23:28Your dad caught
01:23:29a huge fish today.
01:23:30He saved it
01:23:31especially for you guys.
01:23:33And your favorite
01:23:34BBQ wraps.
01:23:35Already told your mom,
01:23:36we're going to the store
01:23:37first thing tomorrow morning.
01:23:38That's right.
01:23:39What about me?
01:23:40Don't you miss me at all?
01:23:44Oh, you silly girl.
01:23:46Of course we miss you
01:23:47the most.
01:23:48What's wrong?
01:23:49Did Adrian do
01:23:50something to you?
01:23:51Tell mom.
01:23:53I'll send your dad
01:23:54over there
01:23:54with a baseball bat.
01:23:55Yeah.
01:23:56I'll show him.
01:24:01No, no.
01:24:02He treats me great.
01:24:03He paid me really well.
01:24:04We could travel.
01:24:06Maybe even start
01:24:06a little business.
01:24:07I just...
01:24:08I'm going to miss it here, Mom.
01:24:11Hey, what's going on, baby?
01:24:13Can you...
01:24:14come get me?
01:24:15I miss you.
01:24:17Yes, yes.
01:24:17We're already on our way.
01:24:18Don't go anywhere, okay?
01:24:19Just wait for dad and mom.
01:24:21Yeah.
01:24:30She likes babies with,
01:24:32not roses.
01:24:41She said she wanted
01:24:43strawberry cake.
01:24:44I snuck baking lessons
01:24:45for three days straight.
01:24:46It should...
01:24:48taste okay.
01:24:49Right?
01:24:53Wow!
01:24:56Dad!
01:24:57This is so romantic!
01:24:59Baby's breath,
01:25:01strawberry cake,
01:25:02candles.
01:25:03Are you doing a candle
01:25:04at dinner with Riley?
01:25:05Like in the movies!
01:25:07Go get Riley for me.
01:25:09Yes, sir.
01:25:10Mission accepted.
01:25:15How is she going to react?
01:25:17Will she stay?
01:25:18Or will she just
01:25:19say no?
01:25:22Dad!
01:25:24What happened?
01:25:26Dad!
01:25:28Riley, she...
01:25:35Riley's gone.
01:25:40Dad, why did Riley leave?
01:25:43Did I do something wrong?
01:25:45Is that why she doesn't...
01:25:49No.
01:25:50This is not your fault.
01:25:52Not even a little.
01:25:53Then why did she leave?
01:25:55Is she never coming back?
01:26:01There's been a misunderstanding.
01:26:03I'm going to fix it.
01:26:05Then go get her back, Dad.
01:26:08Marry her for real this time.
01:26:10So she never leaves us again.
01:26:13Okay.
01:26:16Come on.
01:26:17We're going to get her back.
01:26:19You mean it?
01:26:20I mean it.
01:26:21And this time,
01:26:23our family stays together.
01:26:25For good.
01:26:31Here we go.
01:26:32Here we go.
01:26:32Three, two, one.
01:26:33Cheese!
01:26:34Look how cute this vegetable is.
01:26:36Here comes the air for the airplane.
01:26:38Your kindness and your courage
01:26:40is worth more than any fancy job title.
01:26:47Mom!
01:26:48Set me up on a date!
01:26:53So, Ms. Carter.
01:26:55What do you think?
01:26:57Pretty impressive, right?
01:26:59Riley!
01:27:09Why are you here?
01:27:14You guys talk.
01:27:15You guys talk.
01:27:16Didn't you say you were single?
01:27:20Good thing I tipped him off in time.
01:27:22We almost lost the perfect son-in-law.
01:27:24I told you to keep your mouth shut.
01:27:26Mm, mm, mm, mm, mm.
01:27:31I'm here because I almost lost someone
01:27:32I can't afford to lose.
01:27:34Please.
01:27:35No more blind dates.
01:27:37Not with anyone else.
01:27:38My abs are better than his.
01:27:40My body is better than his.
01:27:42And if you're not satisfied,
01:27:44I will hit the gym right now
01:27:45and work until you are.
01:27:46Then why did you wire me $500,000
01:27:48without a single word?
01:27:50You were the one who walked away first.
01:27:51That money closed out the contract.
01:27:54You...
01:27:54Not a boss and an employee.
01:27:56Not a contract and a job.
01:27:58This is Adrian Hawthorne.
01:28:00Choosing Riley Carter.
01:28:09Riley Carter,
01:28:10I'm in love with you.
01:28:11Will you give me one real chance?
01:28:13To be my partner,
01:28:14the one I actually choose,
01:28:16and to be Mia's real mom?
01:28:19Hmm.
01:28:20I'm gonna have to think about it.
01:28:32You kissed me back.
01:28:33I'm taking that as a yes.
01:28:35I didn't.
01:28:36You were the one who...
01:28:38Oh my!
01:28:39That was so sweet!
01:28:40I am obsessed!
01:28:41I was surprised!
01:28:42Oh!
01:28:43Oh!
01:28:43Oh!
01:28:44Oh!
01:28:44Oh!
