00:00:00♪
00:00:30Let's get started.
00:00:34All right, so, are you ready to get started?
00:00:38I am honored to work with you on this merger.
00:00:41I always say a merger is like a marriage.
00:00:43It is my honor to be able to support you through your divorce.
00:00:47So if a merger is a marriage, then my first question
00:00:50before reviewing assets and balance sheets and quarterly reports is...
00:00:53Before we go over you and your wife's history, assets, and shared properties...
00:00:59Are you sure you want to get married?
00:01:01Are you sure you want to get divorced?
00:01:04All right, guys, no photos.
00:01:07Yo, come on, seriously. Come on, no photos, no photos.
00:01:10Okay, fine.
00:01:14Where's your better half?
00:01:16I am a better half.
00:01:22Hey, babe. Hey, babe.
00:01:25Sorry I'm late.
00:01:27You look beautiful.
00:01:30Oh, smooth.
00:01:32What kind of lotion do you use?
00:01:41No photos, please. No photos.
00:01:49Mrs. Noble. Always a pleasure.
00:01:52Are you meeting Brett?
00:01:54Yes, but I'm surprising him.
00:01:56I'll show myself to the table.
00:02:03Dabby.
00:02:05I'll take those.
00:02:10Two vodka sodas.
00:02:12Top shelf, of course.
00:02:14See your hair together, huh?
00:02:16Should've known.
00:02:19Gwen.
00:02:21You weren't just my assistant, you were my best friend.
00:02:23Babe.
00:02:24Well, consider yourself fired from both positions.
00:02:26Look, we were just having a drink.
00:02:28And Brett.
00:02:29It's not what it looks like.
00:02:30My first kiss, my first love.
00:02:32And now, I guess my first husband.
00:02:34Baby, what the...
00:02:36My hair!
00:02:37I want a divorce.
00:02:39Babe.
00:02:41Dabby, wait!
00:02:44Dabby!
00:02:50Dabby!
00:02:54Dabby!
00:03:06Dana.
00:03:12No peeking.
00:03:14Okay.
00:03:15Nope.
00:03:17Happy anniversary.
00:03:20Happy anniversary.
00:03:23Please, enter the chambers.
00:03:27All right.
00:03:29So what's on the docket?
00:03:30Claims against the defendant?
00:03:31Whoa, whoa, whoa.
00:03:32I thought I was the defendant.
00:03:33No, we're both the defendant.
00:03:34Okay.
00:03:35Go ahead, what do you have?
00:03:36All right, what I got is,
00:03:37for the period of our seventh year of marriage,
00:03:39I bring forward the notice of things piled on chairs.
00:03:43Oh, things piled on chairs.
00:03:46Yes, things piled on chairs.
00:03:47Look, every time I want to sit in a chair,
00:03:48I gotta take your stuff off of it.
00:03:50Shoes, jacket, hats, purse.
00:03:53Chairs are meant to be sat in.
00:03:55I would like to sit in a chair.
00:03:57All right, fine. Assumed.
00:03:59All right, let me have it.
00:04:01What does the respondent say?
00:04:02No cell phones at the table.
00:04:04What?
00:04:05We shouldn't have our phones at the table.
00:04:06I mean, phones should be left elsewhere.
00:04:08But not on chairs?
00:04:09Never, as dictated by Issue A.
00:04:11Okay, assumed.
00:04:12Oh, hey, guys.
00:04:13Lucas, TJ.
00:04:14Are you two working?
00:04:16I thought it was your anniversary.
00:04:17It's our prolonged anniversary.
00:04:19Yeah, we celebrate one day for each year.
00:04:21Seven years married.
00:04:23Seven years, huh?
00:04:24Better watch out for that seven-year age.
00:04:26Oh, don't worry, Lucas, we're not as cheap.
00:04:27You know, the seven-year age was actually debunked.
00:04:29Yeah, recent data shows that divorce peaks
00:04:31at 10 to 13 years of marriage.
00:04:33Oh, well, so we've got a few more years left.
00:04:35Yeah, we're good for like three years.
00:04:36So you two are working?
00:04:37In a way.
00:04:38Yeah, on our anniversary, we like to sit down
00:04:40and go over our relationship grievances
00:04:42and gratitudes and talk them through.
00:04:44I'm a lifelong bachelor, so you're the experts here.
00:04:48And enjoy this champagne.
00:04:50Well, you two have a wonderful anniversary.
00:04:52Thank you, Lucas.
00:04:53Enjoy.
00:04:54Thank you so much.
00:04:55Thank you, TJ, very kind.
00:04:56That was nice.
00:04:57So sweet.
00:04:58Okay, so, time for presents?
00:05:00Presents.
00:05:01Now, traditionally, the seven-year gift is wool.
00:05:06Oh.
00:05:07Hope you like it.
00:05:08Yes.
00:05:09Oh, Merino wool socks.
00:05:11Well, I figured, you know, you could warm your feet up
00:05:13before you press them up against me in bed.
00:05:14Oh, so this is really a gift to yourself.
00:05:16Sort of, yeah.
00:05:17I love them.
00:05:18I'll treasure them.
00:05:19Okay.
00:05:21Okay, well, before, the seven-year gift
00:05:22was modernized to wool.
00:05:23Traditionally, it was copper.
00:05:25You didn't.
00:05:26Ta-da!
00:05:27Oh, babe.
00:05:29I always wanted a copper pot to make you popcorn,
00:05:31and this is amazing.
00:05:32Look at this.
00:05:33Oh, thank you, honey.
00:05:34Of course.
00:05:35I love you so much.
00:05:38This has been the best seven years ever, you know that?
00:05:40And hopefully the best is yet to come.
00:05:43You know, speaking of best to come,
00:05:48I wanted to have a little chat with you.
00:05:53I thought no cell phones at the table.
00:05:56I'm so sorry, it's just...
00:05:58Okay, Uncle Paul booked me in with a new client at 8 a.m.
00:06:05Oh, excellent.
00:06:06I just got booked for 8.15.
00:06:08Give me that.
00:06:09Yeah, let's get rid of those.
00:06:10Gone.
00:06:11That is absolutely perfect, babe.
00:06:14So, two forever...
00:06:19together.
00:06:21Sustained.
00:06:37Morning, Kim.
00:06:38Morning.
00:06:39So, confusingly,
00:06:40your ADM is with a reality star wanting a divorce.
00:06:43Oh, that is weird.
00:06:44Well, I can refer her to the best family lawyers.
00:06:46You're the best family lawyer.
00:06:49Uncle Paul.
00:06:50And that reality star is Tabby Noble.
00:06:53She's on the board of Jackie's Legacy Fund,
00:06:55and she is bankrolling our fundraiser gala next month.
00:06:59Oh, so you want to keep her happy.
00:07:01Yes.
00:07:02But also, I know how complicated and public
00:07:05a divorce like hers will be,
00:07:07and I want to help protect her if possible.
00:07:09With you as Tabby's lawyer, this can be quick, easy,
00:07:12a painless mediation.
00:07:14Those are famous last words.
00:07:16All right.
00:07:19Of course.
00:07:25Hi.
00:07:26Oh, I love your shoes, Manolo.
00:07:29Oh, uh, no.
00:07:30Nordstrom rack, but thank you.
00:07:32Can we get you something to drink?
00:07:34Oh, yeah, maybe, like, a green juice
00:07:37and some nori chips on the side.
00:07:39And do you have an LED face mask I could wear while we chat?
00:07:42I find it super soothing.
00:07:44Please get Mrs. Noble a water.
00:07:46Thanks.
00:07:49Tabby, I know this must be a very, very hard time,
00:07:51and I'm sorry.
00:07:52My heart truly goes out to you.
00:07:55I also wanted to thank you for supporting Jackie's Legacy Fund.
00:07:59She was actually a lawyer as well.
00:08:01Family law, coincidentally.
00:08:03But here at the firm, we focus on mostly contract law
00:08:06and mergers and acquisitions.
00:08:08But you clerked for Judge Westdale for three years, right?
00:08:12And you worked at Miller & Talbot,
00:08:14family law, where you were considered the best.
00:08:16Oh, you've done your homework.
00:08:18I'm not clueless.
00:08:19I just pretended to be on TV for 15 years.
00:08:21And do you know who, um, my husband,
00:08:24um, ex-husband and I are?
00:08:27I don't actually watch much reality TV.
00:08:30Oh.
00:08:32Okay, well, we were on, um, Noble Living,
00:08:35which is one of the biggest reality shows ever.
00:08:38And then we moved to the city,
00:08:40and we got our own spinoff, 8 Seasons.
00:08:43Every single one was a hit.
00:08:45So the world has watched us fall in love,
00:08:48grow up, get married, make mistakes,
00:08:52struggle to get pregnant.
00:08:54Oh, I'm really sorry.
00:08:56So we have been in the public eye and working since we were 16.
00:09:00And now?
00:09:02Right now?
00:09:03Yeah.
00:09:04Now we are on a hiatus right now.
00:09:09Wow.
00:09:10Yeah, we're just looking for the right fit for us
00:09:13in the current flailing content environment.
00:09:16Debbie, are you sure?
00:09:18Are you sure you really want to be divorced?
00:09:20I mean, I was looking at your file.
00:09:22You've been married for 10 years, 16 years together.
00:09:24I mean, there's a lot of love there.
00:09:26Yeah, but love is like fame.
00:09:30Falling feels like flying until you hit the ground.
00:09:35Okay, listen, speaking of, speaking of flying,
00:09:39I really think it's best if we just fly under the radar.
00:09:42You know, let's just keep this quiet, no big scenes.
00:09:45Let's really just try to just stay level-headed.
00:09:48Definitely.
00:09:49But also, he cheated on me with my best friend.
00:09:52Okay.
00:09:53So I want everything.
00:09:55But mostly, I want him to hurt.
00:09:59Okay.
00:10:04This is why I love family law.
00:10:07Morning, Sherrod. Your 815 is here.
00:10:10Okay, who is it?
00:10:13Oh. Okay.
00:10:17Mark.
00:10:19Brett Noble. Know who he is?
00:10:21I know who he thinks he is.
00:10:23493.
00:10:25494.
00:10:28495.
00:10:30496.
00:10:33497.
00:10:35498.
00:10:37Mr. Noble.
00:10:39499.
00:10:41500.
00:10:43Whew!
00:10:46Brett, I'm Lois Gale. This is Mark Trebek.
00:10:49Hey, guy, can I get a green juice?
00:10:51Thanks.
00:10:52Yeah, sure.
00:10:53Maybe we can get you some nori chips,
00:10:55maybe an LED face mask.
00:10:56Oh, yeah, love it.
00:10:59Great.
00:11:01So, Brett, first things first.
00:11:07You cheated?
00:11:09Oh, I didn't cheat.
00:11:10It was all Tabby. I mean, she lives for trauma.
00:11:13Brett, look, you can lie to your therapist all day long,
00:11:16but I think it's not in your best interest
00:11:18to lie to your divorce lawyer.
00:11:20You see, you and I are working together now.
00:11:22We're a team.
00:11:23And as a team, you're going to have to have
00:11:25some mental fortitude, grace,
00:11:26and we're going to have some harsh truths back and forth.
00:11:28You get it?
00:11:29All right, yeah, I dig it.
00:11:30Let's sign some papers and get this divorce started, shall we?
00:11:34I...
00:11:35Okay, so before I do that, I'm going to ask you two questions.
00:11:38Okay.
00:11:39First one is this.
00:11:40Are you sure you want to get divorced?
00:11:42Mm-hmm.
00:11:43The second one is you don't see any chance
00:11:45the two of you can be happy together again.
00:11:47Oh, I'm not happy, so why should she be happy?
00:11:49Oh, hey, listen, I got CrossFit, but before I go,
00:11:52I mean, I don't have a prenup, and I want everything, so...
00:11:55Well, be that as it may,
00:11:56Brett, New York is a no-fault equitable distribution state, so...
00:12:00Yeah, but I want everything, so...
00:12:03Oh, and, um, I want a sewer.
00:12:06On what grounds?
00:12:08Emotional damages.
00:12:11CrossFit.
00:12:16All the NDAs are signed, no leaks.
00:12:18Yeah, I know, I'm on it, but listen,
00:12:20Brett thinks he's going to get everything.
00:12:22Then get him everything,
00:12:23or at least as many billable hours as you can.
00:12:26Because lawyers aren't known for their integrity.
00:12:34Popcorn.
00:12:36Cooked in my new copper pot.
00:12:38Oh, eaten with my new socks on.
00:12:41Oh, look at those.
00:12:43Okay, so, nutritional yeast and coconut oil for you.
00:12:48Don't ask me why.
00:12:50And, uh, caramel and toffee for me.
00:12:52Perfect.
00:12:54What do you work on, babe? What's this?
00:12:56Oh, nothing, it's just a, just a new case.
00:12:59I'm kind of taking one for the team.
00:13:01It's not, not worth talking about.
00:13:04Well, trust me, I got a new case, too.
00:13:05My client? He's so hard.
00:13:07Really?
00:13:08Yeah, really.
00:13:10When did you start watching this?
00:13:12Oh, it was, it was just on.
00:13:16And now, I guess, my first husband.
00:13:18Honey, oh!
00:13:19Guess he got into the spirit.
00:13:21That's a joke, right?
00:13:22That's good.
00:13:23Pretty good. Stand up, babe.
00:13:25It is with great sadness
00:13:26that we have made the difficult decision to divorce.
00:13:30We look forward to moving on with deep kindness and gratitude
00:13:34for everything that we've shared.
00:13:37Love you guys.
00:13:38I mean, I gotta say, this hurts.
00:13:41So we request respect for our privacy.
00:13:45Why are they making statements? This is...
00:13:48I mean, that's gonna be a mess.
00:13:51Yeah, I mean, I'm still Lewis Connery.
00:13:54Calling it quits.
00:13:55We've all got the shocking details about the break-up.
00:13:58Oh, it's...
00:14:01Did you know about his statement?
00:14:04No, come on, Lois, of course not.
00:14:05I mean, the guy's a celebrity, he's like a wrangling and a snake.
00:14:08Well, keep him in check, Mark.
00:14:09You got me for partner.
00:14:10Did you give approval for Tabby to release an announcement?
00:14:13No, I did the literal opposite.
00:14:15Then clean this up, please.
00:14:18The press are gonna rip it to shreds.
00:14:20All right, I'm on it.
00:14:27Sorry, babe, that was, uh, that was my case.
00:14:29Yeah, me too.
00:14:30All right, what are you gonna watch?
00:14:32You wanna watch Steel Magnolias?
00:14:34Or we could find something else on, right?
00:14:38Mwah.
00:14:43You know, I, um...
00:14:45There's something I'd like to talk to you about.
00:14:47Okay, what is it?
00:14:51Nothing, it's...
00:14:53Nothing, it's Christmas.
00:14:54I mean, on our Christmas plans.
00:14:55I mean, are we gonna go to your family or my family?
00:14:57I mean...
00:14:58I mean, we could have everybody come here.
00:14:59Be kind of nice.
00:15:00Yeah, we could do that.
00:15:03Wait, I almost forgot.
00:15:04Surprise for you.
00:15:06What?
00:15:08Are you...
00:15:09It's for your collection.
00:15:10Oh, come on, babe.
00:15:11Happy anniversary.
00:15:12Thank you, sweetheart.
00:15:14Oh, it's...
00:15:15Are you kidding?
00:15:16This is the one I've always wanted.
00:15:17This is the limited edition fidget spinner.
00:15:19Are you kidding me?
00:15:20I had to switch far and wide.
00:15:23Top of the line, babe.
00:15:26Oh, thank you, babe.
00:15:28Oh, I love you so much.
00:15:29I love you.
00:15:31Well, the cat's out of the bag.
00:15:33I got you a present.
00:15:34You did?
00:15:35Yeah, I got you a gift, too.
00:15:36Okay.
00:15:37It's a big one.
00:15:38Your eyes are closed.
00:15:39Eyes are closed.
00:15:40All right.
00:15:43Open.
00:15:48So thoughtful.
00:15:49I know.
00:15:50All right.
00:15:51Okay, let's watch that.
00:15:52Still make noise.
00:15:55I love you.
00:15:56I love you, too.
00:16:03Hi.
00:16:05Good morning.
00:16:06Thank you for coming to me today.
00:16:08I'm just so distraught.
00:16:10I couldn't dress.
00:16:11I just need to stay in and self-care.
00:16:13Of course.
00:16:14Yeah, I support that, but I heard you're also doing talk shows.
00:16:18Yeah, it's a form of self-care.
00:16:20Perhaps, but it's probably not a good idea.
00:16:23But everyone's interested.
00:16:24I understand the appeal of garnering fan support,
00:16:27but you really need to stay neutral right now.
00:16:29Why are you so worried?
00:16:31It's my job to worry.
00:16:32Speaking of, if you have any skeletons in your closet,
00:16:35now would be the time to say.
00:16:36Skeletons?
00:16:37No.
00:16:38I'm squeaky clean.
00:16:39Come on in.
00:16:40Have a juice.
00:16:47I have so much dirt on Tabby.
00:16:49I don't know where all the skeletons are.
00:16:52Brett, we really don't need skeletons.
00:16:55We need mature adults who are committed to an amicable resolution.
00:17:00Do you know where that is?
00:17:03Nope.
00:17:07Of course not.
00:17:24Hi.
00:17:25Hey, your uncle just scheduled a noon meeting.
00:17:28I'll send you the address.
00:17:29Okay, perfect. Did you find Brett?
00:17:31Yep, the process server should be heading there now.
00:17:33Thanks so much.
00:17:34Alright, I'm sorry, I actually have to go.
00:17:36But I'll be back later and we can finish up.
00:17:37Can you get that?
00:17:40Hello?
00:17:49The elves are going to get ruined.
00:17:55Are you Tabby Noble?
00:17:56Yes.
00:17:57Wait, no, no, no.
00:17:58Stop, stop. Tabby, don't open that.
00:17:59No.
00:18:01You've been served.
00:18:07Do you even lift, bro?
00:18:10Nice quads.
00:18:11Wait, you're Brett Noble, right?
00:18:13Yeah.
00:18:14Can I get a picture?
00:18:15Of course.
00:18:16Just for you.
00:18:17No, no, no.
00:18:19You've been served.
00:18:21She serves me divorce papers at the gym?
00:18:23This is my safe space.
00:18:25This is where I go to heal.
00:18:29Can you get your client in line?
00:18:31He serves me at home?
00:18:33It's just so violating.
00:18:35And he ruined my nails.
00:18:38This could be a problem, Dana.
00:18:40Why?
00:18:43Wait, I thought, I thought you were going to say something.
00:18:46No.
00:18:48Wait, I thought, I thought Brett was driven by Miller and Talbot.
00:18:51No, he met with them, so Tabby couldn't.
00:18:54But ultimately, Brett went with Gail Fogel and partners.
00:18:57What?
00:18:58Who's the lead?
00:18:59Funnily enough, it's Mark.
00:19:02Is this going to be a problem?
00:19:08Honey, this is going to be a problem.
00:19:11It's already a problem.
00:19:13I mean, I didn't want to be on this case to begin with.
00:19:15But Uncle Paul is so protective over Tabby.
00:19:17She lost her mom to cancer.
00:19:19She's on the board of Aunt Jackie's fund.
00:19:21So he just wants to help make this, this divorce as easy as possible.
00:19:24I could step down.
00:19:25No, they're picking partners soon.
00:19:27Absolutely not.
00:19:28You've worked so hard for that, and I know how much you want it.
00:19:31Okay.
00:19:34Maybe we can make this work.
00:19:36How do you figure?
00:19:37We both know if they go to other lawyers, we're going to drag this out,
00:19:40make it contentious, build them for every last thing.
00:19:42Right, but we, we could keep this very civil.
00:19:44Yeah, we can make it the most swift, demagogable divorce possible.
00:19:47And we'll do it together.
00:19:51I love you.
00:19:52I love you.
00:19:53Let's go.
00:19:56Okay.
00:20:05Let's get started.
00:20:11Well, that went well, don't you think?
00:20:13Really, Uncle Paul?
00:20:15Well, I did.
00:20:18What's your take away?
00:20:19Well, New York is an equitable distribution state,
00:20:22so Mark and I both believe it's in everyone's best interest to get this through arbitration, ASAP.
00:20:26But both of your clients want everything.
00:20:29How do you suppose we arbitrate that?
00:20:31Unfortunately, it's not up to us.
00:20:33I'm afraid this one's for the court, Dana.
00:20:35I appreciate that you're trying to help Tabby, and I too want to be supportive,
00:20:39but I, I don't do court.
00:20:40I know.
00:20:41And Mark throws an added wrench into it.
00:20:43And I know how empathetic you are and how personal each case becomes to you.
00:20:48But I truly believe you are the right and only lawyer for the job.
00:20:59Are you going to be able to go up against Dana?
00:21:01You're not going to go soft on us.
00:21:02Come on, Lois, I've got this.
00:21:04And I'm not going up against him.
00:21:06We're on the same team, and we want the same things.
00:21:09Back to the gym.
00:21:12So you're going to be fighting against your wife?
00:21:14Well, if by fighting you mean engaging in legal due process, yeah.
00:21:18Well, I hope you're better at fighting with your wife than I was at fighting with my wife.
00:21:23Oh, and by the way, my team wants me to run a background check on you.
00:21:27That's fine. Just do me a favor and send me a copy of the findings, will you?
00:21:30Listen, moving on, Brett, I've got to go over a list of assets here.
00:21:33If we can do that.
00:21:35First off, I'd like to talk to you about the Soho apartment.
00:21:37Tabby wanted to be in the most expensive neighborhood.
00:21:39What about the upstate lake house?
00:21:41She wanted a summer cabin.
00:21:43It says here you own three cars?
00:21:45Yeah, she backed two of them into poles.
00:21:47What about, it says here, wine label, clothing company, perfume line.
00:21:51She's already starting some new business, plastering her face all over some new product.
00:21:58But I'm over it.
00:21:59From now on, I'm a solo show.
00:22:02Check this out.
00:22:05Noble surge. Get nobled.
00:22:11You know, maybe now is not the time to invest in new ventures, Brett.
00:22:16So you're really okay battling it out with your husband?
00:22:19Oh, we're not battling. We're on the same team.
00:22:22We work really well together. We're solid.
00:22:24That's what I used to say about me and Brett, so be careful.
00:22:28So do you want this apartment, the house upstate, or do you want to sell both and split the cash?
00:22:33Why do you always dress like you're on your way to a meeting?
00:22:36Because every time you see me, I am on my way to a meeting with you.
00:22:41Have you ever worn anything from the Noble line?
00:22:44Bring me the emerald lace dress, the one with the eyelash trim.
00:22:47Yes, ma'am.
00:22:52It's so hard to find good help.
00:22:54Speaking of assistants, have you spoken with Gwen lately?
00:22:58Gwen? Are you joking? I'm never speaking to her ever again.
00:23:01Great. Here's the thing. It would be great if I could at least speak with her.
00:23:04Look, Brett cheated with her. I'm not saying it's going to affect the settlement, but it isn't a good look for him.
00:23:09So if we could have access to Gwen, that would be very helpful.
00:23:12I mean, find her if you can, but last I checked, she was incognito mode. Vanished.
00:23:18And no, I didn't whack her.
00:23:20Okay, thank you for the reassurance, Donna Corleone.
00:23:25Alright, what do you want to do with the assets?
00:23:27Assets? I want to keep everything.
00:23:30It was my brand. I was the engine. I mean, it was always the tabby show.
00:23:34Brett just followed along, trying to keep up.
00:23:37Oh, by the way, my team suggested I run a background check on you.
00:23:41That's fine. Just show me a copy of the results. That'd be great.
00:23:47Oh, wow. Look at that. It's very pretty. But not me. But why be you all the time?
00:24:01Hey.
00:24:02Sorry, Tabby's got me on the clock.
00:24:04Oh, it's that bad, huh? Good to see you.
00:24:07Yeah, I mean, it's worse. Her whole life is about being seen as much as possible in the least genuine way possible.
00:24:13Okay, it's called being a celebrity. Wow. And is this new?
00:24:17Oh, it's from the Noble Collection.
00:24:19Oh, look at you. You look fabulous. I mean, you are the most beautiful woman I've ever seen, and you keep getting more and more beautiful.
00:24:25Thank you. It's so tight, I can't breathe. Okay?
00:24:29Thank you so much.
00:24:30Oh, by the way, I got a new orchid out of the collection.
00:24:33But the real gift here is that I promise you I will accompany you to the orchid festival this year.
00:24:38Thank you. That means a lot.
00:24:40Happy anniversary.
00:24:41Happy anniversary. I love you.
00:24:44I love you.
00:24:47And I wanted to ask you, what is it you've been wanting to ask me?
00:24:53What do you mean?
00:24:54Twice now, you've been trepidatious about bringing up wanting to talk to me about something,
00:24:57and I just wish you would spill it, love.
00:24:59Dana, um...
00:25:00Okay, judging by how uncomfortable you are now, I feel like it might be something really terrible.
00:25:04No.
00:25:05Are you going through a midlife crisis? Is your mother moving in?
00:25:08My mother is not moving in, okay? Nothing so life-altering. That'll never happen. Trust me.
00:25:11What is it? Tell me. We can talk about anything.
00:25:15Okay. All right.
00:25:18Do you remember the conversation we had before we were married about having children?
00:25:22And we both decided at the time that we weren't ready, and that we were going to put a pin in it.
00:25:26Are you wanting to take that pin out?
00:25:29Yeah. I'd like to revisit the idea.
00:25:34Because...
00:25:35Because, honey, I'm ready to have children.
00:25:41And I'm one with you.
00:25:46You did start this whole thing by saying it wasn't so life-altering.
00:25:50I did.
00:25:57Oh, great.
00:25:59Oh. Tabby's going to be on the Dr. Doug show tomorrow.
00:26:02So is Brett. Great.
00:26:04And Uncle Paul wants me to be there to make sure there's no undoable libel.
00:26:07And Lois wants me to do the same.
00:26:09Mr. and Mrs. C, your table is ready.
00:26:11Thanks, TJ.
00:26:13Appreciate it.
00:26:16This could go really badly.
00:26:20They charmed the nation.
00:26:21Certainly charmed each other.
00:26:23And then charmed a separation that, believe it or not...
00:26:25We'll be fine, right?
00:26:26We've got this.
00:26:27Yeah, of course. We're just going to stay impartial, and we'll keep the fighting to a minimum.
00:26:30Yeah, winning is them settling their divorce as quickly as possible.
00:26:32Oh, great. Here they are.
00:26:34But we might need it. We'll see how this goes.
00:26:36Ready?
00:26:37What up?
00:26:38So, Tabby, what do you say to people who think Brett was just flirting?
00:26:42I say that flirting is cheating.
00:26:43Well, you cheated on me emotionally.
00:26:45When did I do that?
00:26:46With work.
00:26:47With work?
00:26:48You made our entire life about our brand.
00:26:50You cheated on me with ambition.
00:26:52It sounds like you were just jealous of me because I was always more successful than you.
00:26:56Maybe I didn't want the success.
00:26:57Maybe we wanted different things.
00:26:59Maybe we did, but because I wanted you to not cheat on us.
00:27:01That's not grammar.
00:27:02Whatever.
00:27:03Good time to take a caller.
00:27:04Good morning, Gwen. You're on the air.
00:27:05Tabby, you were a terrible friend.
00:27:07You never supported my dreams.
00:27:09What were your dreams exactly?
00:27:11To be a fitness influencer slash method actress.
00:27:13I practice Strasburg.
00:27:15I'll be right back.
00:27:18What is happening over there?
00:27:21Social media is tearing Tabby apart.
00:27:23They're calling her cold, angry.
00:27:25Dana, please, turn this around.
00:27:28Okay, I'm on it.
00:27:39Guys, let's take another call.
00:27:40We'll go to Joanne Blacho in Boise, Idaho.
00:27:43Hey, Joanne, you're on the air.
00:27:45Hi, I just want to say it is such a heartbreak to be betrayed by the love of your life
00:27:49and your best friend who you trusted the most.
00:27:52I mean, but for you to admit you have made some mistakes and to take responsibility,
00:27:57I mean, to be human, it is just...
00:28:00Well, you are a hero to me.
00:28:02I mean, bless your heart.
00:28:03You are such a strong and yet vulnerable role model.
00:28:06Thank you so much, Joanne.
00:28:08That really means the world to me.
00:28:16You can't let me have a moment, can you?
00:28:18Yeah, you're going to give me my moment?
00:28:19I'm sensing a lot of tension here. Do you need to take a break?
00:28:23Thank you for taking my call.
00:28:27Hi.
00:28:28Hi.
00:28:29I just want to know how Joanne from Boise has a thick as molasses southern accent.
00:28:34Because after she retired from her barbecue stand, she moved out of the South,
00:28:37so she can be closer to her grandchildren.
00:28:39Ah, I thought we were staying impartial.
00:28:41We were. We are. I'm sorry.
00:28:43Okay, it's going to be just impartial, smooth sailing, all the way to a settlement.
00:28:47Good. Okay.
00:28:52Oh, great. Just got our arbitration date.
00:28:54In two days.
00:28:55Right.
00:29:00I think you'd be a lot happier if you got involved.
00:29:06Snacks?
00:29:07Check.
00:29:08Great.
00:29:09Coffee?
00:29:10Check.
00:29:11Notebooks?
00:29:12Check.
00:29:15There you go, love.
00:29:16Thanks.
00:29:17Okay.
00:29:18Okay.
00:29:20Yeah.
00:29:21In the case of Chervick and Chervick growing their family.
00:29:25Right.
00:29:27Do you want me to start, or do you want...
00:29:28Yeah, you can start.
00:29:30All right.
00:29:33You know I love you so much. You know that, right?
00:29:37You have all of my heart.
00:29:40But I feel like I have so much more to give.
00:29:43And we're not getting any younger.
00:29:45Well, you can speak for yourself.
00:29:47Yeah, okay.
00:29:49I'm just kidding. Continue.
00:29:51I don't know. I feel a shift is happening in me.
00:29:55I mean, I've always wanted to have kids.
00:29:57You know, I'm ready. I can feel it.
00:30:00And I want one with you.
00:30:01I want to give you everything you want.
00:30:03I want to give you the house in Connecticut with the big garden.
00:30:06I want to give you the dog, the goat.
00:30:08You know I love baby goats.
00:30:10I know you do, babe.
00:30:12Honey.
00:30:16I really want kids.
00:30:18But it is a huge step.
00:30:19I think it's the most important decision you make in life.
00:30:22And I just feel like, you know, for the past ten years,
00:30:24we've worked so hard working our way up in our careers,
00:30:27and we're finally on solid footing.
00:30:28This is really the issue.
00:30:34What if we're not good parents?
00:30:36Come on. We're going to be great parents.
00:30:43I'm scared.
00:30:46So, what if there's a compromise?
00:30:49How would you like to compromise?
00:30:50Well, let's just get a dog.
00:30:52Honey, we work a ton.
00:30:53We can't just leave a dog at home alone all day.
00:30:56I had gotten you this anniversary gift.
00:30:59You pick the best times, don't you?
00:31:02The timing's great.
00:31:04For the pup.
00:31:07Okay, you're naming our rhetorical dog Oliver?
00:31:09What's wrong with Oliver?
00:31:23Um, hey, have you had any luck finding Gwen yet?
00:31:26I think she can really tempt her bread
00:31:27and help him settle this divorce faster.
00:31:29We're still looking.
00:31:31Right.
00:31:32You okay, boss?
00:31:34Anxious about arbitration?
00:31:36No. No, come on. Are you kidding me?
00:31:37I haven't been anxious about arbitration in over a decade.
00:31:41Um, Richard.
00:31:42Oh, uh, meeting for Lois, the head of Reality Reel.
00:31:48Oh.
00:31:49All right, do me a favor.
00:31:50Keep looking for Gwen, okay?
00:31:51Yeah, you got it.
00:32:03Ready for arbitration?
00:32:05Yeah.
00:32:07Just...
00:32:09All right.
00:32:17Oh, whose suit?
00:32:19A network exec from Reality Reel meeting with Paul.
00:32:21Huh.
00:32:28Keep it subtle.
00:32:32Tabby?
00:32:33Brett.
00:32:37Hello, sir.
00:32:38Hi, I'm Tabby.
00:32:39Hi.
00:32:41Are you flirting with our mediator?
00:32:42No, flirting with strangers is your job.
00:32:44Huh.
00:32:45Because he's an arbitrator.
00:32:46What's the difference?
00:32:47Ignorant people say what?
00:32:48What?
00:32:49My point exactly.
00:32:50They've been on reality TV since they were teenagers, so...
00:32:53Understood.
00:32:54Mm-hmm.
00:32:55Can we please start?
00:32:56Yeah.
00:32:57We'll begin with verbal agreements from each line item.
00:32:59To start, you'll sell the house upstate and split the funds.
00:33:02I want the house.
00:33:03I want the house.
00:33:05Clearly a sticking point.
00:33:07Moving on.
00:33:08The shared apartment on Descano.
00:33:09You agree that one party moves out and the other will be compensated.
00:33:12Agreed.
00:33:13Agreed.
00:33:15So, who's moving out?
00:33:16He is.
00:33:17She is.
00:33:19Counselors, can you please manage your clients?
00:33:22Unfortunately, this is about as good as it gets.
00:33:25Then I suggest you prepare for court.
00:33:27What?
00:33:28What?
00:33:32Would you just give us one second, please?
00:33:34Mark.
00:33:35Yeah, yeah.
00:33:36Good job.
00:33:40I do not do court.
00:33:41You know how I am with public speaking.
00:33:43I know, I know.
00:33:49How do I know?
00:33:50How do I know?
00:33:58Tabby, I know your heart has been broken and I am so sorry,
00:34:01but in punishing Brett, you're really just punishing yourself.
00:34:04I mean, this could all be done so quickly and smoothly.
00:34:06Have I mentioned Brett's hiding money?
00:34:08No, you kind of buried the lead on that.
00:34:10Yeah, well, he played cards a lot.
00:34:12He went to Vegas, sports gambled.
00:34:14Are you sure he's hiding money or is he hiding losses?
00:34:17One sec.
00:34:19This is Tabby.
00:34:21Yeah, we're getting a larger retainer.
00:34:24Okay. Also, I found one.
00:34:26Really?
00:34:27I just texted you the address.
00:34:33Perfect.
00:34:34I think she's hiding all her money.
00:34:36Or maybe she spent it all.
00:34:37You know, she always wanted more fancy things,
00:34:39more businesses, more brands.
00:34:41She took out loans and not always from banks.
00:34:44So are you telling me that her credit score sleeps with the fishes?
00:34:48The fishes?
00:34:49I'm going to call you later, okay?
00:34:51I got to go.
00:34:53Like an aquarium investment or...?
00:35:00Of all the tenements in the world,
00:35:02you just had to walk into mine, huh?
00:35:05You know what? I don't know. Maybe this makes it easier.
00:35:07We can just work together.
00:35:08Hmm.
00:35:10Who is it?
00:35:11Hi, I'm Tabby.
00:35:12Who is it?
00:35:13Hi, Gwen. It's Dana Chervik. I'm representing Tabby.
00:35:16And Gwen, I'm Mark Chervik. I'm representing Brad.
00:35:19I'm not talking to anyone.
00:35:22That went well.
00:35:23Yeah.
00:35:24Apparently, she doesn't want to talk.
00:35:25Yeah, they're both here.
00:35:26No, I didn't say anything.
00:35:28And what do I get out of it?
00:35:31Fine.
00:35:32Yeah, yeah, I'll leave out the back.
00:35:34I can't name a German shepherd, Oliver.
00:35:36But you can name a doodle, Oliver.
00:35:37Didn't our prenup specify no doodles?
00:35:39Oh, I don't really remember that in terms and condition.
00:35:41Really? Because I kind of...
00:35:44Hi.
00:35:46Up to you.
00:35:49Is that Gwen?
00:35:50Whoa, whoa, whoa. I just saw Gwen.
00:35:52That was Gwen.
00:35:53That was Gwen?
00:35:54Yep.
00:35:59Hey, Kim.
00:36:00So, Gwen got skittish and ran off.
00:36:02We're going to need to depose her.
00:36:03Thanks.
00:36:04Something tells me things just got a whole lot more complicated.
00:36:06How could this possibly get more complicated?
00:36:08You thinking what I'm thinking?
00:36:10No matter how terrible this gets, babe,
00:36:12as long as we're in it together.
00:36:14Oh, I was thinking we should have become dentists.
00:36:16Dentists would have been better.
00:36:18But this case does feel like we're pulling teeth.
00:36:20What's up?
00:36:27Hey.
00:36:28So, um, this came for you?
00:36:30Oh, yeah, that's probably the background check
00:36:32that Tabby ran on me.
00:36:34Speaking of any word on locating Gwen,
00:36:36we really need to serve her a subpoena so we can depose her.
00:36:39Also, will you look into Brad's finances?
00:36:41There's suspicion of money hidden or lost.
00:36:45Got it.
00:36:46Thank you so much.
00:36:47Have a good night.
00:36:48You too.
00:36:49Thanks.
00:36:51All right.
00:36:55I was looking for you.
00:36:59Invite to the gala.
00:37:00This?
00:37:01Hosted by Paul Larson and Tabby Noble.
00:37:03That's not a conflict at all.
00:37:06Mark and I will be there.
00:37:07I'm really proud of you.
00:37:08Me and Jackie would be too.
00:37:13I meant to ask you if there was a guy here from Reality Real?
00:37:18Well, they make a lot of money off the Nobles reruns.
00:37:21They want to know what this divorce is going to cost their brand.
00:37:25Any thoughts on that?
00:37:26Besides everyone's dignity?
00:37:28I don't know.
00:37:29We're in arbitration again tomorrow and hopefully we settle.
00:37:33Night.
00:37:38This came for you.
00:37:39Oh, good, thanks.
00:37:40It's part of my background check.
00:37:41Have you found that forensic accountant looking at Tabby Noble yet?
00:37:43Yep, just booked him.
00:37:44Atta boy.
00:37:45Atta boy.
00:37:46Nice work.
00:37:50Guess who just called the office?
00:37:52Gwen.
00:37:53She wants to meet with you tonight.
00:37:54Oh, Lois.
00:37:55Dana and I were supposed to...
00:37:59All right, I'll give her a call back.
00:38:01Get her on our side.
00:38:02We can't afford her testifying tonight.
00:38:04Get her on our side.
00:38:05We can't afford her testifying against Brett and ruining his reputation.
00:38:08We could keep him as a future client.
00:38:10Hey, by the way, why was the head of Reality Real here today?
00:38:13Oh, they just needed some hand-holding.
00:38:15Wanted to be sure that the divorce would be amicable, that the brand could be saved.
00:38:19All right, well, here's to fingers crossed for arbitration tomorrow, right?
00:38:27Hey.
00:38:28Yeah.
00:38:33Hello.
00:38:34Hello.
00:38:37Okay, all right, good.
00:38:38Well, where's my martini and my steak and potato dinner?
00:38:41I sleep over at a hot stove all day and miss the greeting I get.
00:38:44Uh, babe?
00:38:45Oh, sorry, the chair thing I forgot.
00:38:47I owe you one free pet peeve.
00:38:48Yeah, don't worry, I'm banking them, honey.
00:38:50Oh, by the way, I gotta head out for a quick sec.
00:38:51I got a work thing to do.
00:38:53But you promised me Asian-Mexican fusion tonight and old movies.
00:38:55The bulgogi tacos are on their way and I will be back before they're delivered.
00:39:00See you in a bit.
00:39:04Luca.
00:39:05Hey, we've been hoping you'd come in.
00:39:07I have tickets for you and Mrs. C to my new play.
00:39:09Oh, congrats, TJ. Broadway?
00:39:11Atlantic City.
00:39:12Broadway, New Jersey.
00:39:14Can't wait.
00:39:16Listen, Luca, I wanted to ask you a question.
00:39:19You know people, right?
00:39:21Know people, know people.
00:39:22Thinking you could put your ear to the ground on Tammy Noble and whether she's borrowing or owing money around town?
00:39:27For you and what you did for my TJ?
00:39:29Anything.
00:39:30Thank you, my friend.
00:39:43Okay.
00:39:52What?
00:39:58What?
00:40:03Hi.
00:40:04Hi.
00:40:05Gwen, sorry. Yes, hi.
00:40:06Thanks for coming. I was just going over a legal brief.
00:40:09Can I get you a drink? Anything to eat?
00:40:11No, no. I just want to get to the bottom of this.
00:40:14Hey, is she alone? Who is she with?
00:40:17Hey, she's with some man, but I can't see his face.
00:40:20Take some pictures and send them to me, okay?
00:40:51A little work thing?
00:40:58Hey, wait ten minutes and serve her.
00:41:00On it.
00:41:02You don't need a lawyer now, but what you do need is you need to be very honest with me, okay?
00:41:08I need to, uh...
00:41:13I need you to vanish.
00:41:15Vanish?
00:41:16Yes, I need you to lie low.
00:41:18I can't afford Tabby to depose you to testify against Brett under any circumstance.
00:41:22Good evening. Green juice and some nori chips.
00:41:25No, no, no. Don't take that.
00:41:27Okay.
00:41:28You've been served.
00:41:30Oh, hi, Mark.
00:41:31Hi.
00:41:32Always a pleasure to see you.
00:41:33Long time, no see.
00:41:38Can I see that?
00:41:39Yeah.
00:41:44Yeah, you've been subpoenaed to come to arbitration tomorrow.
00:41:46But I have Pilates tomorrow.
00:41:48Gwen, I'm sorry. You might have to move.
00:41:52You might not make Pilates tomorrow.
00:41:58A little work thing, huh?
00:41:59I'm pretty sure we switched background checks.
00:42:01Oh, yeah. You sure did.
00:42:03You were married?
00:42:04You were in jail?
00:42:13Did you get the notebook?
00:42:15Did you get the nobles to run a background check on me?
00:42:17You both know you need to get to dirt, right, honey?
00:42:19But I run due diligence on businesses.
00:42:21There is a big difference.
00:42:22They are corporations, not people.
00:42:23Not according to the Supreme Court.
00:42:24Let's stay on topic here.
00:42:25Because you know what? It's a really big topic.
00:42:27You were married?
00:42:28For a day.
00:42:29At a bachelorette party in Vegas.
00:42:30You were in jail?
00:42:31For five minutes.
00:42:32I'm sorry I missed the no trespassing sign.
00:42:34You also lied about your college GPA.
00:42:35I round it up. Who doesn't?
00:42:37Meanwhile, what do you do when you watch TV?
00:42:38You're always not liking those beauty contests.
00:42:40But guess who was Miss Supreme Ann Arbor in 2006?
00:42:43I did it for the scholarship money.
00:42:44Your speech was on world peace.
00:42:46We all make mistakes when we're young.
00:42:47Yeah, like me with the no trespassing sign.
00:43:07This isn't us.
00:43:08I'm so sorry, honey.
00:43:09What are we doing?
00:43:10This is crazy.
00:43:11I love you so much.
00:43:13You were married?
00:43:14You were incarcerated?
00:43:16Look, I'm sorry about Gwen, okay?
00:43:18I should have told you everything at the meeting.
00:43:19She called. She said she wanted to keep it a secret.
00:43:21It's okay.
00:43:22I've been honest, but I couldn't because, you know, whatever.
00:43:23The point is this case is driving me nuts.
00:43:25Me too.
00:43:26Listen, we're going to go in there tomorrow.
00:43:27We are going to settle this.
00:43:28And it'll all go back to normal.
00:43:30We're not going to court.
00:43:31No court.
00:43:32Definitely no court.
00:43:34Okay.
00:43:37Okay.
00:43:38Is there any more bulgogi tacos left?
00:43:40Because I'm starving.
00:43:41Yeah, sure.
00:43:48So are you ready for a second chance at a fair deal for both of you?
00:43:51No.
00:43:54Think you'll be reasonable with Tabby today?
00:43:56No.
00:44:03I know divorce is a gut punch,
00:44:05but the two of you going to court is only going to bring more pain for the both of you.
00:44:11This way.
00:44:19Where's Gwen?
00:44:20Family emergency.
00:44:22It's a well-timed emergency.
00:44:24Are we ready to divide assets?
00:44:29No, actually.
00:44:30After conferring with my lawyer, I've decided I want to go to court.
00:44:34Excuse me?
00:44:35And after confer...
00:44:38Conferencing.
00:44:39Whatever.
00:44:40With my lawyer, I want to go to court.
00:44:45Then I guess you're going to court.
00:44:51Good morning.
00:44:53What do you think for the gala?
00:44:55Orchids or these beautiful pink flowers?
00:44:57Well, you do know I love orchids,
00:44:59but pink is the color of breast cancer research, so...
00:45:02You are always the person to ask.
00:45:04We'll do a little mix of both.
00:45:06I wanted to talk to you about the Noble case.
00:45:09I've given it my all, but I'm not a litigator.
00:45:12I mean, I'm certain you can find someone much better suited for this.
00:45:16Dana, I believe in you.
00:45:20I also know that you've never met a challenge that you haven't conquered.
00:45:25And I know that Tabby needs you right now.
00:45:29She's all alone.
00:45:32Now, I...
00:45:35I have a tiny request.
00:45:37Yes?
00:45:40I want you to ask Mark to bring Brett to the gala.
00:45:44Um, that is not what I call a tiny request.
00:45:47I mean, isn't there going to be some conflict?
00:45:50Tabby will be there.
00:45:51Exactly.
00:45:52My thinking is that Tabby and Brett are always their best at big events,
00:45:55in front of the camera.
00:45:57And it's not just for show. It somehow bonds them.
00:46:00So I was thinking the gala might be a chance for a reconciliation.
00:46:03You really are an eternal optimist.
00:46:05I just like to make opportunities out of challenges.
00:46:10Okay. I will ask Mark about Brett.
00:46:14Thank you for the flowers. I'm keeping them.
00:46:22Hey.
00:46:24This is a slam dunk, right?
00:46:26Well, yeah. I mean, Dana doesn't love court.
00:46:29I'm certainly not going to capitalize on it.
00:46:31Why not?
00:46:34Mark, I shouldn't be sharing this with you,
00:46:37but it looks like you're going to make partner.
00:46:40Contingent on winning this case, of course, right?
00:46:43Of course.
00:46:44We need partners who will do what it takes.
00:46:47Well, be that as it may,
00:46:49Lois, I'm going to prioritize what's best for Dana and me.
00:46:52But what's best for both of you is you making partner.
00:46:55Getting her raised, taking Dana to Hawaii.
00:46:58She loves Hawaii, right?
00:47:00I can no longer tell the difference
00:47:02between the carrot and the stick.
00:47:04The carrot is my not using the stick.
00:47:10Slam dunk.
00:47:21You know how I am with public speaking.
00:47:24I mean, I get weird, I clam up, I make the face.
00:47:27Honey, your face is adorable.
00:47:29Plus, court's not going to happen for another few months.
00:47:32We have plenty of time to prepare.
00:47:34It's going to be great, okay?
00:47:37Plus, you happen to be the only lawyer
00:47:39that I will never use my usual soundbite of.
00:47:42Rather be on our side than the opponent's.
00:47:45Okay, on to more important topics, like a vacation.
00:47:48I think when all this is done, you and I need to vacay.
00:47:51What do you say about Hawaii?
00:47:53Please, Hawaii, Maui, Kauai,
00:47:55anywhere where there's a beach and a pina colada.
00:47:58Sounds perfect to me.
00:48:00Maybe it'll be our own little baby one.
00:48:03Now we've come full circle back to the baby convo.
00:48:07Listen, I have been thinking a lot,
00:48:10and are you sure we're ready for it
00:48:13not just to be the two of us?
00:48:16You know, late-night ice cream
00:48:18and lazy Saturdays in bed and vacations.
00:48:24Are you really ready to be parents?
00:48:27Honey...
00:48:30Is anybody ever ready?
00:48:37But a lover's glass!
00:48:48Hey, babe.
00:48:50One coffee coming up.
00:48:52Oh, thank you.
00:48:54Got to just grab my bag.
00:48:56Okay.
00:49:14You know, I love you in blue.
00:49:17Oh, love you in green.
00:49:19What's your morning like?
00:49:21Oh, I don't know.
00:49:24Just some work stuff. What about you?
00:49:26Yeah, same. Big day.
00:49:28Yeah, you ready?
00:49:30Yeah, two minutes.
00:49:32Okay, I'll meet you downstairs.
00:49:54Come on.
00:50:25Oh.
00:50:27Oh.
00:50:29I'm so sorry.
00:50:44Thanks very much.
00:50:55Gwen, hi.
00:50:57Seriously?
00:50:59Are you here to offer me another subpoena?
00:51:01No, no, I'm not.
00:51:03Oh!
00:51:05I'm so sorry.
00:51:07Listen, I'm not here as a lawyer.
00:51:09I'm here as a human, okay?
00:51:11Your best friend of 20 years, Tabby,
00:51:13is going through a really hard time,
00:51:15and she's doing it all alone.
00:51:17Even if you played a part in it,
00:51:19I just really think she could use a friend right now.
00:51:22I'm so over this whole thing.
00:51:24I am not the bad guy here,
00:51:26and I was promised I wouldn't be,
00:51:28but I will be if I have to be.
00:51:30I don't think I understand what that means.
00:51:32It means tell Tabby to pay the money she owes me.
00:51:34I can't even make rent anymore.
00:51:38Oh, you left a...
00:51:40...
00:51:52Kim, let's run background on Gwen.
00:52:10Hey, babe.
00:52:12You scared me.
00:52:14How was your day?
00:52:16How was my day?
00:52:18Um, completely exhausting.
00:52:20Do you have a big meeting?
00:52:24Well, actually, I sat down with Gwen today.
00:52:26And, uh, I talked about your subpoena
00:52:28to help her expedite the divorce.
00:52:30You said she'll do anything to help us both out,
00:52:32so are you okay?
00:52:34Yeah, I-I just, um...
00:52:36Yeah, I was just spending the day chasing things down.
00:52:38Come here.
00:52:42So, I've been thinking about what you said.
00:52:44And I thought,
00:52:46what if I quit my job
00:52:48and I stayed home with the baby?
00:52:50It'd be fun, you know?
00:52:52I'd be a domestic engineer.
00:52:54So, hold on.
00:52:56I would be working all day
00:52:58while you're home with our sweet little baby?
00:53:00Okay, well, we could take turns working,
00:53:02and then you could stay home with the baby and Rambo.
00:53:04Who's Rambo?
00:53:06Who's Rambo?
00:53:08Rambo's our dog, the German Shepherd.
00:53:10I thought I'd get him a nice red bandana.
00:53:12Our puppy sounds like he just got back from NOM.
00:53:14I don't even like Rambo.
00:53:16What are you talking about? You tell me you love the franchise.
00:53:18Yeah, honey, it's the same way I say
00:53:20I love watching hockey
00:53:22or, you know, going to the hardware store on Sunday.
00:53:24I mean, these are...
00:53:26these are just things you say on a second date.
00:53:28You're falling madly in love.
00:53:30Oh, so kind of how I feel when we have to go shoe shopping
00:53:32or maybe you book us some Cajun cooking classes
00:53:34or we sit here and we watch
00:53:36Steel Magnolias over and over.
00:53:38No, that is not possible. Steel Magnolias is an American classic.
00:53:40Okay.
00:53:42All right, fine, so let's do this.
00:53:44Let's compromise, all right?
00:53:46What?
00:53:48We've got Oliver, we've got Rambo,
00:53:50one goat, and baby Chervitch,
00:53:52so we'll be working part-time
00:53:54so that we can stay home part-time.
00:53:56Is that enough income?
00:53:58Babe, maybe we need less income.
00:54:00Maybe we need to move somewhere cheaper.
00:54:02Maybe we could go to Minnesota near my family.
00:54:04Yeah, or we could go to Ann Arbor near my family
00:54:06and baby Chervitch could be around cousins and...
00:54:08Mm-hmm.
00:54:10I don't know, honey, we'll figure it out.
00:54:12Yes, we will.
00:54:14phone rings
00:54:18Oh, great.
00:54:20What?
00:54:22Our court date has been set.
00:54:24No, no, next Monday?
00:54:26This is supposed to be months from now.
00:54:28You know we're supposed to pull some strings.
00:54:30It's okay, we'll figure it out.
00:54:32Come here, baby.
00:54:34We'll figure it out.
00:54:36You know, I think things will be
00:54:38a whole lot better once we watch Rambo.
00:54:40Mm-hmm.
00:54:42Saturday, 5 p.m.,
00:54:44we will see you there.
00:54:46All right, ciao.
00:54:48Luca, my friend.
00:54:50Mark, always a treat.
00:54:52You were asking me about Tabby Noble, right?
00:54:54Mm-hmm.
00:54:56Well, I did some sniffing around.
00:54:58I've got a fine set up, but with non-banking entities
00:55:00who catch my drift.
00:55:02Mm-hmm.
00:55:04The word is she's a savvy businesswoman.
00:55:06She's got the golden touch.
00:55:08Prince Bunny is the quote.
00:55:12But it doesn't get sent to the bank.
00:55:14So what are you saying?
00:55:16She's got offshore accounts?
00:55:18Who's to say?
00:55:20All right, do me a favor.
00:55:22Just keep this between you and me, okay?
00:55:24The lips are zipped.
00:55:26Your drinks have a lovely night.
00:55:28Thank you, my friend.
00:55:30See you again.
00:55:32T.J., hi.
00:55:34I can't wait to see your play.
00:55:36Mark's just down here.
00:55:38By the way, I asked around on Brett Noble.
00:55:40Seems right.
00:55:42He's got a gambler's spirit, card games, Vegas.
00:55:44He's a high roller everywhere.
00:55:46So he spent all their money?
00:55:48Nah, more the opposite, where this guy's a winner.
00:55:50Diamond hands.
00:55:52Oh, so he's hiding his winnings?
00:55:54Hey, love.
00:55:56Hi, honey.
00:55:58I'm famished.
00:56:00I know what I was thinking.
00:56:02Instead of a vacation, we should quit our jobs,
00:56:04we should sell everything we own,
00:56:06and we should just move to Hawaii.
00:56:08I am so game. That sounds amazing.
00:56:10Oh, by the way, Rambo actually also loves the Sands.
00:56:12And what will we do with all your orchids?
00:56:14Solid point.
00:56:16How are you feeling about court?
00:56:18How do I feel about everything right now?
00:56:20It's just spiraling out of control.
00:56:22You're doing great.
00:56:24But we've got Judge Clark.
00:56:26I know, well, she's great,
00:56:28but can I give you a pointer?
00:56:30Please, I will take all the pointers.
00:56:32Judge Clark likes sports analogies.
00:56:34So if you can pepper some sports analogies
00:56:36into your statements, that would be great.
00:56:38Wait, what? Judge Clark likes sports?
00:56:40Yeah.
00:56:42I thought she was quoting Proust and playing Dungeons & Dragons.
00:56:44I'm just telling you.
00:56:46Okay, so let's just play this out.
00:56:48What kind of sports things am I actually going to know
00:56:50before I start for the field?
00:56:52Honey, we'll workshop it. Don't worry.
00:56:54Ugh.
00:56:56What?
00:56:58Uncle Paul wants me to ask you
00:57:00if Brett will come to Jackie's gala.
00:57:04But isn't Tabby going to be there?
00:57:06I mean, honey, you both know
00:57:08that those two together are like loose cannons.
00:57:10And the night before their court date,
00:57:12what are we talking about?
00:57:14I know, I know, but he truly thinks
00:57:16it could help mend things.
00:57:18You do what's best for my client, right?
00:57:20Isn't what's best for your client
00:57:22to...
00:57:24attempt reconciliation?
00:57:26Not necessarily.
00:57:32What?
00:57:34Nothing.
00:57:42This new stylist brought some amazing options.
00:57:44Tabby, I really need you to focus.
00:57:46We've got to quickly prepare you for court.
00:57:48Yeah, about that, how formal will it be?
00:57:50A divorce trial can be quite strict proceedings.
00:57:52No, no, no, I mean my outfit.
00:57:54Like heels, wedges,
00:57:56autumnal neutral tones, or...
00:57:58Can you please take this seriously?
00:58:00You are going to be asked very prying questions
00:58:02about your marriage, your history, your character
00:58:04in a courtroom full of press.
00:58:06Yeah, so? I can handle that.
00:58:08I've been in front of a camera for 20 years.
00:58:10I had 3.4 million people
00:58:12watch my struggle to get pregnant.
00:58:14I'm sorry, I...
00:58:16I really can't imagine what that feels like.
00:58:18Yeah, I wouldn't want you to.
00:58:22Do you still want children?
00:58:26More than anything.
00:58:30It's kind of something I've
00:58:32always wanted.
00:58:34What about you?
00:58:36You want kids?
00:58:38Yes. So much.
00:58:40But I feel like it's not
00:58:42the biggest decision I'll make in life.
00:58:44And I'm kind of scared.
00:58:46Scared of what exactly?
00:58:48Scared that...
00:58:50Scared that I'll mess it up.
00:58:52That I won't be a good mom.
00:58:54That it'll change things
00:58:56between me and Mark.
00:58:58It will change things
00:59:00between you and Mark.
00:59:02I know, and I'm sure in the most magical way.
00:59:04But for my parents,
00:59:06it changed things
00:59:08and they slowly fell apart.
00:59:10And I just wouldn't want to put my kids through
00:59:12what I went through when my parents were divorced.
00:59:14So, you're unsure about kids
00:59:16because you think you might get divorced?
00:59:18No.
00:59:20Oh, no, no, no, no.
00:59:22No, Mark is...
00:59:24I love Mark with all of my heart.
00:59:26He is the best decision I've ever made.
00:59:28I think this is the winner. What about you?
00:59:30Oh, yeah.
00:59:32That's great. It's perfect.
00:59:34Yeah.
00:59:36Brad, come on. I gotta get ready for court.
00:59:38Bro, I am 3% body fat. I am ready.
00:59:40That's great. I'm glad you're 3% body fat.
00:59:42We gotta go over the issues, man.
00:59:44There are no issues.
00:59:46Everything I asked for should be mine.
00:59:48And it would be if you signed a prenup.
00:59:50No way, man. Prenups are such a bummer.
00:59:52That's distrust. It's not love.
00:59:54It has nothing to do with distrust, Brad.
00:59:56It's called protection. Marriage is not some whim.
00:59:58It's a legal binding contract.
01:00:00Yeah, but that's like make sure all the exit doors
01:00:02work on the plane before the flight takes off.
01:00:04Exactly. That's my point. It's called protection.
01:00:06Yeah, but why get on the flight
01:00:08if you think the plane's just gonna crash?
01:00:10Okay, you know what, Brad?
01:00:12Can you get down here and you...
01:00:14Why don't you just... Why don't you tell me?
01:00:16Do you have a prenup?
01:00:18Look at me. I'm a family lawyer. Of course I have a prenup.
01:00:20That never felt like a bad sign to you?
01:00:22Like a lack of trust?
01:00:24I mean, you're already focusing on the marriage ending
01:00:26before it's even began.
01:00:28No. No, not okay. All right. I'll give you that.
01:00:30If I was to be perfectly honest with you, sure.
01:00:32For one little moment, yeah.
01:00:34Why did you want to believe that you'd have to one day
01:00:36protect yourself from the person that you love most in the world?
01:00:38I didn't want to believe that.
01:00:40So why did you want a prenup?
01:00:42I didn't, Brad. I didn't want a prenup.
01:00:44She did.
01:00:46So what's your point?
01:00:48I don't know.
01:00:50Just, you know,
01:00:52don't worry about the exit doors.
01:00:58You were nominated by your friend Tricia.
01:01:00You were nominated by your friend Tricia.
01:01:18This shade of red was actually created for me.
01:01:20It's called Tabby Red.
01:01:22Um, oh.
01:01:30You look fantastic.
01:01:34This is beautiful.
01:01:36And Jackie would be so proud.
01:01:38Thank you. And I hope so.
01:01:40So, not to press the issue,
01:01:42but is Brad coming?
01:01:44He's not. I'm sorry.
01:01:46Mark just didn't think it was a good idea.
01:01:48I was hoping for something different.
01:01:50I know.
01:01:52Oh, excuse me.
01:01:54Of course.
01:02:00So it's Italian silk, and it was...
01:02:02Oh, and this.
01:02:04My divorce lawyer, Dana Cherbick.
01:02:06But she's so much more than that.
01:02:08She's my queen, my rock.
01:02:10She's practically my best friend.
01:02:12Well, I should raise my rates.
01:02:14Um, excuse me one second.
01:02:18Hey, sorry to interrupt,
01:02:20but Gwen's background check just came through.
01:02:22And? And?
01:02:24Looks like she just bought a commercial property in Soho.
01:02:26They bought?
01:02:28Two days ago.
01:02:30Days ago she was telling me she couldn't make rent.
01:02:32Maybe Brad bought the property for Gwen.
01:02:34Seems something's off. Something is fishy.
01:02:36So maybe Brad's hiding money through Gwen.
01:02:38There's a legal term for hiding money.
01:02:40What did the, uh, forensic accountant say?
01:02:42They're finishing up.
01:02:44Okay, just tell them to please let me know whatever they find.
01:02:46Of course.
01:02:48Thanks.
01:02:58Hey.
01:03:00Uh, you look...
01:03:02stunning.
01:03:04As always.
01:03:06Ditto.
01:03:08I got you a present.
01:03:10Is it Oliver? Where are you, boy? Come here.
01:03:12No, no, it's not Oliver. Hopefully something just as good.
01:03:14Listen, honey, I just...
01:03:16I just want to say, with all the fighting...
01:03:18We're not fighting.
01:03:20Yes, we are, and it's okay.
01:03:22There's no one on the planet I would rather fight with more than you.
01:03:24For free, I mean.
01:03:26And soon this is all gonna be behind us,
01:03:28and it'll just be us again.
01:03:30Yeah, we just gotta get through court tomorrow, right?
01:03:32Are you nervous?
01:03:34I mean, no, but...
01:03:36I'm gonna anxiety spiral anyway.
01:03:38Hey, you're gonna do great.
01:03:40Because you always do great.
01:03:42And I'll be right there with you.
01:03:44Yeah, on the other side.
01:03:46No, on your side.
01:03:48Always.
01:03:50You say the sweetest things.
01:03:52Can I ask you a slightly tangential question?
01:03:54Of course. Those are my favorites.
01:03:56Why did you want a prenup?
01:03:58I...
01:04:00We both wanted a prenup.
01:04:02No. Dana, you're the one who wanted the prenup.
01:04:14Honey, you...
01:04:16You got bread to come.
01:04:18How did you...
01:04:20Ah, yeah, your present.
01:04:22Because you said this is for the best,
01:04:24and I believe in you, so...
01:04:26Now I just gotta figure out how I can keep this guy in check.
01:04:30I'm gonna keep Tabby in check, too.
01:04:32All right. Divide and conquer.
01:04:34Okay, here we go.
01:04:36Right.
01:04:38Let's grab you a drink.
01:04:40You clean up good.
01:04:42Hey.
01:04:44Last minute he decides to show up,
01:04:46he's trying to keep me off Keel.
01:04:48No, he's just trying to support you
01:04:50with all sorts of research.
01:04:52Or he's gonna do what he always does and make this about him.
01:04:54Tabby, isn't there any benefit of the doubt here?
01:04:56I mean, isn't there any good in him you can still find?
01:05:02Yeah.
01:05:04He looks great in a tux.
01:05:10Hey.
01:05:12Did you order ahead of time, or...
01:05:14It's a classy event.
01:05:16Yeah.
01:05:18Is, uh...
01:05:20Is Tabby looking?
01:05:24Huh?
01:05:26What's her face say?
01:05:28Her face says she's looking, Brett.
01:05:30Huh.
01:05:32Why don't you go over there and just congratulate her?
01:05:36Yeah.
01:05:38Or I could, uh, take the stage
01:05:40and, you know, make a speech about cancer or something.
01:05:42You know, it's very gracious of you.
01:05:44No, don't do that.
01:05:46But I can entertain.
01:05:48Hey, laughter's the best medicine.
01:05:50I think science would refute that.
01:05:52You know what you could do is I think Tabby deserves a nice private hello.
01:05:54Okay? Okay?
01:05:56Could we have a quick sound bite?
01:05:58Uh, no.
01:06:00Yes.
01:06:02Great. Brett, what do you think about the hearing tomorrow?
01:06:04My client actually believes that it'll be a fair and equitable agreement
01:06:06and it'll be reached, so...
01:06:08No, I don't.
01:06:10I think what my lawyer keeps telling me,
01:06:12that he'd rather be on our side than the opponent's.
01:06:14Excuse me?
01:06:16What?
01:06:18Come on, it's just something I have to say
01:06:20to keep the sky in check.
01:06:22It's something you say when you think you're gonna win.
01:06:24Honey, winning would be us never seeing these two people again.
01:06:26You guys drive me insane.
01:06:32Are they flirting?
01:06:34I was kind of hoping you showed up.
01:06:36I missed you.
01:06:38What's happening?
01:06:40That red really compliments your lipstick.
01:06:44And your eyes.
01:06:46And that is flirting.
01:06:48So maybe we did just win.
01:06:50Yes, we did.
01:06:52I love when you wear a tux.
01:06:54Yeah, it's a camo.
01:06:56Yeah, I noticed.
01:06:58No, sir.
01:07:00Oh, excuse me.
01:07:02Yeah.
01:07:04Excuse me.
01:07:06So we just got the forensic accounting report on Brett.
01:07:08We just got the forensic accounting on Tabby.
01:07:10She has offshore accounts.
01:07:12He has substantial poker winnings.
01:07:14He's invested internationally.
01:07:16Multiple untraceable businesses.
01:07:18He's hiding millions from her.
01:07:20She's hiding millions from him.
01:07:22Guess he's not as naive as he looks.
01:07:24Guess she's not as naive as she looks.
01:07:26Guess not.
01:07:28You were my everything.
01:07:30I'm your everything?
01:07:32No, no, no.
01:07:34I was invited.
01:07:36No, you weren't.
01:07:38I was invited.
01:07:40I got an email.
01:07:42Let's get you a cold shower.
01:07:44Take a cheese test.
01:07:46It's okay.
01:07:48You're fine.
01:07:50It's okay.
01:07:52Deep breath.
01:08:04Hurry up, Surly.
01:08:06I guess I just fell asleep out here.
01:08:08I guess I just fell asleep out here.
01:08:10About last night,
01:08:12I said some things I regret.
01:08:14I said some things I regret.
01:08:16And it's not just because I have much wittier retorts in the morning.
01:08:18And it's not just because I have much wittier retorts in the morning.
01:08:20Okay, noted.
01:08:22Okay, noted.
01:08:24Hey, we're going to figure it out, okay?
01:08:26Hey, we're going to figure it out, okay?
01:08:28We always do.
01:08:30Yeah, we always do.
01:08:32So, do you want to take Carla together?
01:08:34I need a minute to, you know, get myself together.
01:08:36I'm going to go over now.
01:08:38But hey, I've got you covered.
01:08:40You're going to do great.
01:09:00But what about that three-pointer in game five?
01:09:02What about that magic sky hook?
01:09:04Oh, come on. Legendary, right?
01:09:06Good to see you, Counselor.
01:09:08Well, let's get started.
01:09:10Are you friendly with the judge?
01:09:12I'm a friendly guy.
01:09:16So what do you think?
01:09:18I think we're going to do our very best.
01:09:20No, I mean my outfit.
01:09:22I think it screams I deserve all the marital property.
01:09:24I think it screams I deserve all the marital property.
01:09:26Yeah.
01:09:28Is this going to take long?
01:09:30Is there something more important to me?
01:09:32CrossFit's at three, so...
01:09:34Counsel, do we have assets in question
01:09:36and arguments ready?
01:09:38Your Honor, yes, we do.
01:09:46Counselor?
01:09:52May I just have one second, please?
01:09:54Take all the time you need.
01:10:00Contract for 31st and 11th.
01:10:08Your Honor, due to recent findings,
01:10:10I would like to request a brief recess.
01:10:12We just got started.
01:10:14Now, why do you need a recess?
01:10:16I need to perform due diligence,
01:10:18as new evidence has been brought to our attention
01:10:20that would affect the financial structure of the settlement.
01:10:22I'm sure the court would hate to see us punt
01:10:24rather than trying an end around.
01:10:26You're in luck that I missed breakfast.
01:10:30Court is at recess for an hour.
01:10:36Give me the address on the commercial property, Gwenbot.
01:10:38Hang tight. I'll be right back.
01:10:40Okay.
01:10:42Okay.
01:10:56Shouldn't you be in court?
01:10:58Yes, I should be. What is this?
01:11:00What is Gwen's Glutes?
01:11:02My new Pilates studio slash method acting workshop.
01:11:06So is that what contract 31st and 11th means?
01:11:08Because this is the 31st.
01:11:10And this is your new commercial space?
01:11:12This space? How did you afford this?
01:11:14Did Brett buy this for you with money he's hiding from Tabby?
01:11:16Do I need a lawyer?
01:11:18If you're an accomplice in laundering money, then yes.
01:11:20I'm not laundering money.
01:11:22I'm not the villain here.
01:11:24You know what? This has become a little too much.
01:11:26You can come to court and tell the truth, please.
01:11:28Or I'll tell what I think is the truth.
01:11:40What is she doing here?
01:11:42You're my best friend, and you stole my husband.
01:11:44I never stole him.
01:11:46All the time we spent together
01:11:48was Brett talking about how much he loved you.
01:11:50Asking how he could fix your rift and win you back.
01:11:52I never had a chance.
01:11:54What?
01:11:56Even if I wanted him,
01:11:58how could I ever compare with perfect Tabby?
01:12:00Order. Order.
01:12:02Order.
01:12:04Is that what you wanted?
01:12:06Yes.
01:12:08Is that true?
01:12:10Every single word.
01:12:12I have loved you
01:12:14from the moment I met you.
01:12:16Even now.
01:12:18Oh, Brettie, me too.
01:12:20I'm so sorry for everything.
01:12:22No, baby, it's not your fault.
01:12:24It was the lawyers.
01:12:26They pressured us into getting divorced.
01:12:28They really did.
01:12:30What? What's that?
01:12:32Yeah, it's true. They did.
01:12:34But I don't want to live without you.
01:12:36Will you marry me again?
01:12:38You don't really have to ask her to marry you again.
01:12:40Yeah, you guys never were divorced in the first place.
01:12:42Of course I'll marry you, my love.
01:12:44Again.
01:12:46Yes.
01:12:50Forever and ever.
01:12:52And we'll have the biggest wedding.
01:12:54Yeah, and you're all invited.
01:12:56All of you.
01:12:58Or you can bid on photos of the event.
01:13:00Extra salt and butter.
01:13:02Both sides.
01:13:04Good.
01:13:06I'm gonna need more popcorn.
01:13:08Today was a disaster.
01:13:10I know, baby.
01:13:12It was a disaster. Terrible.
01:13:14It's okay.
01:13:16It's okay.
01:13:18It's okay.
01:13:20It's okay.
01:13:22It's okay.
01:13:24It's okay.
01:13:26It's okay.

01:13:46I'm Tabby Noble. And I'm Brett Noble.
01:13:48And please join us for Noble Love
01:13:50on Reality Reel.
01:13:54I'm sorry. Excuse me.
01:13:56Is this a new show?
01:13:58Were there marriage counseling? Live?
01:14:00They were divorcing this morning.
01:14:02How in the world could they pull this together so quickly?
01:14:04They didn't.
01:14:10Hey, Gwen, we really need to talk.
01:14:12You don't want to mess with lawyers, Gwen.
01:14:14We serve injunctions for breakfast.
01:14:20So what's the game here?
01:14:22They were never divorcing. Was this a stunt?
01:14:26Yeah. It was all a con.
01:14:28They haven't been able to sell a show in a while,
01:14:30so they came up with this.
01:14:32They paid me to go along with it,
01:14:34promised to buy me the video.
01:14:36Then they made me the villain at every turn.
01:14:38Why? I mean, how?
01:14:40This doesn't make any sense.
01:14:42There were so many private moments.
01:14:44They weren't filming.
01:14:46No, they were. They recorded all of it,
01:14:48planning to use it all for the show.
01:14:50So they used you?
01:14:52Yeah. Because that's what they do best.
01:14:54But whatever, your firm's got paid,
01:14:56and everyone gets a happy ending.
01:14:58Everyone except us.
01:15:00Right.
01:15:04The nobles were lying.
01:15:06There was never going to be a divorce.
01:15:08This is fraud.
01:15:10Let's be careful with terminology.
01:15:12Fraud is a grave accusation.
01:15:14And to be forthright, however belatedly...
01:15:16Paul and I knew.
01:15:18Not at first,
01:15:20but the head of Reality Reel cleared it with us.
01:15:22What are you talking about?
01:15:24I'm sorry. Excuse me? What? What?
01:15:26We never imagined it would go this far,
01:15:28and we never would have gone along with it
01:15:30if we'd known it would negatively affect you.
01:15:32Why would you guys even do this?
01:15:34Partners thought it would be good for our firm.
01:15:36And I thought it would be good
01:15:38both for Tabby and for your career
01:15:40and for Jackie's legacy fund.
01:15:42I didn't think it would avalanche like this,
01:15:44but ultimately, we wanted them to reconcile,
01:15:46and they did,
01:15:48so maybe we let all be well that ends well, hmm?
01:15:50Yes, guided and self-serving, yes.
01:15:52But did they pay their bills on time and in full?
01:15:54Also yes,
01:15:56which is more than I can say about most clients.
01:15:58You see, what's happened here has brought us full circle
01:16:00back to the lower integrity joke.
01:16:04Wow.
01:16:06You know what the worst part is?
01:16:08Everyone's raving about noble love.
01:16:10That's not the worst part.
01:16:12The worst part is they got away with it.
01:16:14Okay, guys, look, if they're happy,
01:16:16just let them be happy.
01:16:18They're still lying to each other.
01:16:20I mean, Brett is hiding money from Tabby.
01:16:22And Tabby's hiding money from Brett.
01:16:24No, they're never going to be happy
01:16:26until they get truthful.
01:16:28Well, maybe it's our job to get them truthful,
01:16:30you know, to heal them.
01:16:32Okay, Gwen, I'm sorry, guys,
01:16:34but this sounds less like therapy
01:16:36and more like some sort of revenge cabal.
01:16:38I'm out, babe.
01:16:40I'm also out.
01:16:42Okay.
01:16:44Fine, but help me with this.
01:16:46There you go.
01:16:48Come here, sit down.
01:16:50Look at that face.
01:16:52You act?
01:16:54Yeah.
01:16:56Method?
01:16:58Strasburg all the way.
01:17:00How would you like the role of a lifetime?
01:17:02Who would I be playing?
01:17:04My husband.
01:17:06I can method act that.
01:17:08I kind of feel like we shouldn't be here.
01:17:16Half cheddar ranch,
01:17:18half peanut butter cup.
01:17:20Delicious combo.
01:17:22Maybe just not at the same time.
01:17:24No, I don't think that'd be the best idea.
01:17:26That is good.
01:17:28You think we should have stopped this?
01:17:30I don't think we would have much of a chance
01:17:32to stop anything.
01:17:34Gwen's on a mission.
01:17:36Besides, they don't need noble love,
01:17:38they need tough love.
01:17:40Good one, honey.
01:17:42You can have a seat here.
01:17:44Oh, thanks.
01:17:46Perfect.
01:17:48I love this jacket.
01:17:50Gwen?
01:17:52Wait, you're not married?
01:17:54Yes, I am.
01:17:56This is my husband, TJ.
01:17:58I kept him a secret because I know
01:18:00how you two love secrets.
01:18:02Hey, bro.
01:18:04I dug all your shows.
01:18:06I'm also a thespian.
01:18:08I'm headlining a play right now.
01:18:10Like on Broadway?
01:18:12Well, where should we begin?
01:18:20We're back on
01:18:22Noble Love.
01:18:24Where love begins again.
01:18:26Starting with us.
01:18:28And today we have
01:18:30a very special couple with us.
01:18:32My best friend
01:18:34and assistant, Gwen.
01:18:36I thought I was fired from both of those roles.
01:18:38What are you talking about?
01:18:40And my man, TJ,
01:18:42over here.
01:18:44Fellow thespian.
01:18:46I can't believe Luca got him on the show.
01:18:48Well, you know Luca.
01:18:50He knows people and knows people.
01:18:52What is the biggest issue in your marriage?
01:18:54Well, I'm sad to say that
01:18:56Gwen has been hiding money from me.
01:18:58TJ's also been hiding money from me.
01:19:00We've had great success
01:19:02with the businesses we've built together,
01:19:04but then Gwen moved our profits
01:19:06to secret accounts.
01:19:08He's now betting his Vegas winnings
01:19:10in overseas funds.
01:19:14Well,
01:19:16I can see how
01:19:18that would affect your marriage
01:19:20as trust is the foundation
01:19:22of love.
01:19:24And love meets trust
01:19:26the way sunshine and flowers
01:19:28meet each other.
01:19:30That's right.
01:19:32But there's more.
01:19:34TJ also ran a background check on me.
01:19:36Ah.
01:19:40Well, that is a total
01:19:42invasion of privacy.
01:19:44Yeah, if someone did that to me,
01:19:46I would be very, very upset.
01:19:48Yeah, me too.
01:19:50Um, we'll be right back.
01:19:54That's unbelievable.
01:19:56You think they'll make it?
01:19:58You think they'll be okay?
01:20:00Yeah, you know, I do.
01:20:02You know, it's something new for both of them.
01:20:04Honest? Something real?
01:20:08Do you think we'll be okay?
01:20:10Do you?
01:20:16Yeah, I do.
01:20:20I actually know it.
01:20:22I mean, there isn't much that's certain
01:20:24in life, but
01:20:26you're as close as it gets.
01:20:30Honey, I know
01:20:32I can overthink and overworry
01:20:34and become fatalistic.
01:20:40I wouldn't want any other life
01:20:42than the life I have with you,
01:20:44whatever that looks like.
01:20:48And I know I said
01:20:50the most important decision we can make is
01:20:52having a child, but
01:20:54I think I was wrong.
01:20:56I think the most
01:20:58important decision we make is
01:21:00who we share our life with.
01:21:04And I would make this decision
01:21:06one million times
01:21:08over exactly the same.
01:21:24So,
01:21:26I have an idea.
01:21:30Thank you so much
01:21:32for meeting with me.
01:21:34Thank you for taking the time.
01:21:36You've been a mentor, and
01:21:38I am so grateful for everything
01:21:40you've given me. But I need
01:21:42something new, Lois.
01:21:44Mark, you're about to make partner.
01:21:46But you're taking over the firm.
01:21:48I know.
01:21:50I know.
01:21:54But we've made other plans.
01:21:56But we've made other plans.
01:22:00Shervick and Shervick,
01:22:02can you please hold?
01:22:08Happy eighth anniversary, babe.
01:22:10Oh, happy eighth, my love.
01:22:12So, I got us a little something.
01:22:14Oh.
01:22:16Don't drop me.
01:22:18My parents were lawyers.
01:22:46Do you feel that?
01:22:48Oh.
01:22:50Oh, it's a prosecutor.
