All these years, our history, why didn't you come to me?
Well, we're not in the habit
of asking spousal permission before making an offer.
Oh, cut the bullshit, Erika, out of respect.
It's not like you don't have a pattern.
That was a long time ago.
Oh, so you're not the same woman who slept
with her best friend's boyfriend?
I know that narrative makes good gossip.
But we both know you and Phil were on a break
when he and I started dating.
You were my line sister. In what world is that OK?
Phil didn't have a problem with it.
We worked through that.
Exactly, because it was college.
Everyone was on-again, off-again.
But you two were on again for the next two years.
We were an important relationship
for each other, yes.
But ultimately, things didn't work out, and you got the guy.
- You won. - Oh, I know.
I just need to make sure that moving forward
whatever Phil decides, you don't have another agenda.
My interest in Philip is strictly professional.
You have my word.

Connor and I were hanging out after school.
OK, and?
And um...
And...
and he has a fake.
And so we grabbed a few beers.
Oh, my... drinking?
Carlton, really.
I only had like, half a beer, Mom.
I swear, I swear, and I wasn't even buzzed.
But I was driving home,
and I started feeling nauseous

And so I pulled over to the side of the road,
and I... I started walking.
Right, I was walking.
And I just kept walking and walking.
And I looked up, and I didn't even know where I was.
I don't even remember where I parked the car, Mom.
I left my phone and wallet in there.
And look, I've had drinks before.
But this was different, Mom.
I swear. This was something else.
What do you mean?
It was the meds.
It had to be the meds, Mom. I know it.
We're going to figure this out.
OK, baby?

So he lost his car?
You really believe this? None of this makes sense to me.
I know.
But at least he did the right thing by calling me.
That's exactly what we asked him to do.
And combining his meds with alcohol?
That's just reckless. He knows better than that.
Yes, and we need to talk to him about it.
But he admitted to drinking when he didn't have to.
If we attack him for it, he'll never tell us the truth again.
And Dr. Richardson confirmed that tapering off his meds
could lead to an episode like he experienced?
Yes, I called him as soon as I got home.
Disorientation, nausea, some of his patients
even experience vertigo.
So you believe his story holds up?
Right now I do.
Do you really want to go out there and call him a liar?
