Laura. Laura.
- Yeah. - We're almost there, okay?
- We're gonna get her out, okay? - Uh-huh.
- Oh, yes! - Okay? Just breathe.
Just breathe, Laura. Come on.
- Mom! Mom! Mom! - Okay, honey.
- Okay. You're okay. - Laura. Laura.
I need you to push like we practiced, chin to chest.
Okay, ready? You're gonna push.
- All right, keep pushing. - You can do it.
You can do it.
- One more big push, Laura. - Okay. Okay.
- One more big push. - Squeeze, squeeze.
Give me one more. Ready? Go, Laura.
She's here. She's here.
Oh, honey. Breathe. It's done. It's done.
Breathe.
Oh. She's perfect.
She has ten fingers and ten toes. Just rest.
- Where is my baby? - No, no, no. Rest.
- You need your strength. - Where is my baby?
- Where-where's my baby? - No, no, no. It's time to rest.
- Where's my baby? Lemme see her! - You need your strength.
- No. Shh. Honey, time to rest. - Where is she?
- You need to sleep. - My baby...
Where is she? Give her to me!
Ah. Why did you let me eat that last piece?
So who's, who's ready for dessert? Anyone?
- Okay. Okay. - Ugh.
This is why Americans are so overweight.
We don't need dessert every night, dad.
Yes, we do, every night, daughter.
- No, we don't. - I love dessert.
Well, then, by all means.
In Europe, they eat their dessert with their breakfasts.
So that way they have all day to burn off the calories.
- Is that right? - Mm-hmm.
- That makes sense. Hm. - Mm.
That is a very impressive fact.
It is. Thank you.
You guys expecting anyone?
Um, nope.
All right. I'll be right back.
But you know, here, when we grow up, we clean our plates,
so we have to do the dishes.
- Hello. Can I help you? - Hi.
Uh, I... I'm looking for the Andersons.
Sorry, not us.
I must have the wrong house.
Wait. We-we know most of the families on the block.
There are no Andersons.
I must have the wrong neighborhood.
Um, sorry to bother you.
Okay.
So, yeah, tell me.
Okay, if-if you, if you do that,
than mom should be really, really happy
and we gotta make mommy happy. Mm.
That was weird.
- What? Who was that? - I don't know.
It was a strange girl at the door
looking for the Andersons.
But I had the feeling she was making stuff up on the spot.
- It's probably nothing. - It's like that one scary movie.
Maybe she's gonna come back with all her friends in masks
and kill us all.
You watch too many movies.
- Don't scare your mom. - I'm fine.
- Oh. - I'm gonna get ice cream.
- I don't know where it goes. - It's unbelievable.
- Do you want ice cream? - I know.
Hey.
What's the matter?
Nothing.
Nothing?
Well, your face is telling a different tale, darling.
What could possibly be the matter?
I don't know. That's why I'm asking.
Are you happy?
You know, just, like, with everything,
like, with our life and our family?
What?
I couldn't be happier.
- Yeah. Are you? - Yeah. Oh, yeah.
It's just, you, do you ever get the feeling
that when things are going really, really well,
you get this feeling
that something awful is gonna happen?
You know, like the other shoe's bound to drop.
No. I don't.
When things are going really well,
like they are right now...
I count my blessings
and I enjoy them.
Yeah.
We're allowed to be happy.
You are allowed to be happy. You know that.
- So stop. - You stop. You stop it.
Ah. It's the girl from last night.
Well, we are still not the Andersons.
Uh, to be honest,
I wasn't really looking for the Andersons.
Mm.
I was looking for you.
You are Mrs. Laura Parker,
formerly Laura Bishop?
I think you better tell me who you are.
I'm your daughter.
I, uh, I don't usually drink during the day.
Well, or ever.
But, um, but today...
Uh, don't worry.
I understand how much of a shock this must be.
I mean, I've had time to prepare for this.
I just, um...
I don't...
I don't know where to start.
It's Bree?
It's a beautiful name.
And you, um...
you're good?
Yes, I'm good.
Well, before you, uh, before you tell me all about yourself,
um... how did you find me?
Because they told me that those records were sealed
to all parties involved. That's just, um...
You know, that's just how they did it back then.
So I'm guessing you never heard of Lighthouse Of The Lost?
Well, it's a group.
An organization, really.
They believe that adopted children have the right
to know the truth about their biological parents,
no matter what the previous agreement was.
They helped me find you.
I hope you're okay with this.
A-again, I know it's a big shock.
No... I mean, yeah. You know, of course.
Look, I know you're not gonna believe me,
but there isn't a single day that went by
that I didn't think of you.
I was 17...
And you know the story. I was young, I was stupid.
I didn't know what I was doing.
And, uh, and my parents, well...
Well, for me, abortion just was not an option I would consider.
And so I did what...
We did what we thought was best... for you.
And your adopted family, are they, are they...
I was one of the lucky ones. Uh, the Hogans.
They're everything you could want in a mom and dad.
They had a biological daughter, my sister,
before they adopted me.
Um, they wanted to have more kids,
but my mom couldn't conceive, so they decided to adopt.
- Voila. - Hah.
So you have a family.
Yeah, I do. I have a family.
Uh, I have a husband. His name's Michael.
And I have a daughter named Skylar.
So I have a sister.
Yeah. Yeah, I guess you do.
- So what now? - Um...
Well, I'd like you to meet everybody.
Only if you want. I don't wanna...
- No, I-I'd like that. - I just...
- Thank you. - Great.
Great.
I should actually be going. So...
Oh. Okay. Okay. Um...
Bree, what I said before...
you know, about we thought adoption was the best option...
well, we didn't.
My parents did that without my consent.
And I never forgave them for that.
I am so sorry.
Can I hug you?
- Yes. - Yeah? Oh.
Oh.
We're getting lot of traffic out of Prague, Croatia,
the Yukon territories in Canada, Tasmania.
I mean, I don't think that's ever happened
for a tech company before.
Anyway, we're getting 75 percent activation
from users with this free upgrade, which is great.
Well above the normal adoption rate,
but a little less than we anticipated.
I had Andrea run the analytics again.
Uh, I'm trying to get a macro view of the situation.
Really, like, get in there and see
what's bugging people out.
Boss. Boss, you listening?
Uh, of course. Of course.
You're gonna run analytics.
I already had Andrea run them a second time.
- Right. - Yeah.
- Right. - What's going on?
What, did you and some of the other bigwigs go for one
of those three-martini luncheons?
Yeah, I wish. I...
Uh, let me, let me grab this.
Hey. Uh, sort of. Why?
You're kidding me.
Okay, 15 minutes.
- No. Michael, that's... - Hold on.
That is the wrong way.
Unfortunately, we have some bad news
and there's no easy way to say it,
so I'll just get right to it.
Your parents were in an accident.
Look, I don't mean to sound insensitive, detectives,
I don't, but I haven't seen or spoken to my parents
in... 20 years.
We had a...
Well, we had a falling out.
I-I'm sorry. But why is this a police matter?
Carbon-monoxide poisoning.
It's, uh, it's-it's a tragedy, but I...
You're right. Uh, typically, something like this is not.
But with older couples in older homes,
it happens a lot more than you might think.
But...
But the piping connected
to the furnace was compromised.
Well, can't that happen from age
or normal wear and tear or something?
It can. For sure it can.
Uh, but the fire inspector said,
well, um, he said it was fifty-fifty.
Fifty-fifty what?
Fifty-fifty that it was done intentionally.
So you might not have seen them in years,
but do you have any idea if they had any enemies,
anyone who'd wanna do them harm?
When I was a kid, we went to First Methodist.
They were very, very active in that church.
- You could start there, I guess. - We tried.
Uh, we talked to some of the parishioners.
Everyone we spoke to said your folks
was just a lovely couple.
Couldn't imagine anyone wanting to hurt 'em.
Right.
Well, um...
Yeah, I don't know how else we can help you.
I don't know either, ma'am. I'm-I'm sorry to say.
But if you do think of anything,
anything that could possibly help us...
here's my card.
Thank you.
Uh, you know, the more I think about it, the more I'm convinced
it was probably just a terrible accident.
Again, sorry for your loss.
- Well, thank you, detectives. - Thank you.
Let me show you guys out.
So if there's anything else you guys need
I can help you with, just let me know, okay?
- Thank you. - Thank you.
All right.
- You okay? - Yeah, I'm fine.
It's okay to be sad.
You know, they were your parents.
You didn't know 'em.
God!
You know, this is, this is just like them.
I mean, even in death, they figured out a way
to ruin it for me.
I just get reunited
with the daughter that they took away from me.
And now this.
It's just...
it never stops, you know?
- Uh... Okay, well... - Don't be nervous.
What am I supposed to say to her?
Whatever you want.
Just say what comes natural, darling. She's gonna love you.
She's gonna be nervous, too. Okay?
So it's our job
to just make her feel comfortable.
I still can't believe you never told me about her.
Baby, it's not a conversation
that you're super eager to have with your teenage daughter.
And besides, before this, there has never been a reason
to tell you.
Okay.
Yeah.
I just, I don't get why
she wants to meet us if she has her own family.
Well, think about it, honey.
If you were adopted,
wouldn't you be curious?
And we're so awesome as a family.
- Yeah. Kinda. - Kinda?
You look beautiful.
Oh. Speaking of awesome...
- I'm so excited... - Dad, it's so embarrassing.
- What? No. Come on. - It's so embarrassing.
- You're gonna meet your sister. - You make me feel bad.
- Do I look fine? - You look great.
- Is this fine? Okay. - Let's go. Come on.
- Come on. - Fine, fine.
It's all, like, really, like, strange, but different, like...
Yeah, exactly.
Bree, this is, uh, this is my husband Michael.
- Hi. So nice to meet you, Bree. - Hi. Nice to meet you.
Thanks for coming here.
And this is our daughter Skylar.
- Hi. - Hi.
Guys, this is Bree.
All right. Yeah.
Bree, sorry. Uh, please, come in.
- Let's-let's sit down. - Yeah. Yeah, let's come here.
Come on. Yeah.
Um, do you, do you want a glass of iced tea or...
- I'm okay, but thanks. - There it goes.
- Sit down. - Make yourself at home.
- That out of the way. - All right.
S-Sky, right there.
So, Bree, um, did you grow up in Highland Park?
I did. Proud graduate of Memorial High School.
Where is that? I've never heard of it.
Oh, it's about half an hour from here.
Well, Skylar is a senior in high school.
She's on the National Honor Society,
the yearbook committee.
- Mom. - What?
Sky, we're proud of you. You worked so hard.
- Very smart. - Yeah.
So were you totally freaked when your mom told you about this?
You know, about me?
Yeah, I don't blame you.
I mean, I knew I had to have a mom out there somewhere,
but, you know, actually, getting the information,
it was... just nuts.
Uh, Bree, I hope you're planning on staying for dinner, please.
Oh, come on, you have to.
I wasn't really thinking about that.
Please.
Then I guess I am.
Great. Settled.
All right. I'm just gonna order the pizza.
- Thank you, honey. - All right.
- I like your nails. - Hm. Thanks.
Do you have any polish or nail stuff in your room?
Yeah.
I can teach you how if you want.
Really?
I mean, if that's okay with you.
Yeah! That's great. Absolutely. I mean...
- Okay. - Okay.
- Yeah, let's go. - Great.
So do you have a boyfriend?
It's complicated.
Isn't it always?
It's nothing, really.
Relationships are hard.
Trust me, I know.
I don't know, I just thought that maybe it gets better
when you get older, that guys could change.
Guys change, all right.
I wouldn't say it's necessarily for the better.
- Does your mom know? - About what?
The guy.
Oh. My parents are clueless.
All parents are clueless.
But yours seem really great.
I guess.
I always wanted a sister.
I thought you said you had a sister.
I do.
But, you know... by blood.
Pizza's here, girls.
Well, come on. Let's get it while it's hot.
Let's go.
All right.
- Mm! - We have a whole other pizza.
- So there's no shortage. - Yes.
So, Bree, um,
what do your parents think about you meeting us?
I mean, assuming that you told 'em what you're doing of course.
They're supportive.
I mean, they'll always be my mom and dad.
But they also knew that I was always curious
about my birth mom.
And they wanted to help, but didn't have
any of the information,
because those records were sealed to everyone.
But when I found you,
they said I should do whatever I thought was best.
Well, I'm glad you did.
Yeah, me too.
Hate to interrupt, but, uh,
why is my car still in the shop?
Oh, just a few more days. Yeah.
Oh, what the hell is taking them so long?
Skylar.
It was a recall. They had to order the parts.
Okay, well, I'm staying after school tomorrow
to make up for my science quiz,
so one of you needs to pick me up.
- Oh. - Um...
I'm not gonna be home in time. Sorry, sweetheart.
- You? - Yeah. No, I'm sorry, Sky.
I have an appointment.
Okay. Well, then how am I gonna get home?
Skylar, I can pick you up.
Yeah. Yeah, okay. Cool. That sounds great.
Uh, Bree, that's, that's really nice.
I-I'm just, I'm not sure if that's a great idea.
I-I think it's a great idea. Yeah.
- You do? - God! yeah, I...
It gives them the chance to spend
a little more time together.
I mean, that is, Bree, if, if you don't mind.
It'd be my pleasure.
- Nowhere to run to, bitch! - Ah!
- What are you gonna do, huh? - Stop! Get off of me!
What are you gonna do? Come on!
You know, I always wanted
to kick your ass just because...
And now I have a reason, too.
You think you can mess with my boyfriend
and get away with it?
What are you talking about?
I never spoke with him.
Oh. Wait, wait.
Are you talking about last night
when he was crawling out of my window?
- How did you know about... - Shut up!
I'm gonna enjoy this.
Hey, Sky.
Oh. Forgot you were picking me up.
I thought I was gonna have to take a substantial beating.
Oh, you will. You got lucky, little slut.
See you tomorrow.
All right. Sounds great. See you then.
Looks like I got here in just the right time.
Yeah. That's Chloe LoPresti.
Anyone even glances at her boyfriend
and she goes ballistic.
No one messes with her
unless they wanna end up in a hospital.
Wait, you've gone with her boyfriend?
No. No.
He wasn't even talking to me. It was the girl next to me.
She's just crazy.
So this happen a lot?
Pretty much, yeah.
Looks like I don't have a long life expectancy at this school.
Here. Just go to the car. I'll be there in a minute.
Okay.
Seems like you and Sky have a little issue.
- Something I can help you with? - And who the hell are you?
I'm her sister.
Then you should probably mind your own business.
Maybe tell your sister to mind her own business, too.
Wow. You're scary.
How about this?
You mind your own business
and leave all the other kids alone.
See, sweetie, this stuff might've worked in high school,
but you're in for a rude awakening in college.
Whatever.
Or at the local strip club.
Yeah, you'd fit right in at the Leopard Lounge.
Huh. Bitch!
That was easy.
Not so tough now, are you?
Now you listen to me, you little skank.
I'm here for the long haul.
And if I hear that you're messing with someone
or if you even look at my sister,
you know what I'm gonna do to you?
I will carve up that pretty little face of yours
and not even the janitor would take you to prom.
Now do you believe me
that I am totally
and completely serious?
Good.
I didn't mean for you to take this the wrong way.
What I meant was, we don't really know her...
I know everything that I need to know about her.
Now, I know that she's your biological daughter,
but that doesn't really mean she's your daughter-daughter.
Okay, wait, w-what the hell does that even mean?
It means that you didn't raise her,
that wedidn't raise her.
It means that we don't know anything about her values,
her decision-making,
how she feels, what she thinks, anything.
- Yeah. - Yeah.
So we just get to know her better.
Okay.
But until then,
I really wanna treat her like a member of our family.
But she's not really a member of the family.
Yes, she is.
Uh, Michael, I owe her that much.
Please?
Okay, well...
If that's what you think, no nooky for you tonight.
Well, you should be so lucky.
Yeah.
Um, get your light.
I'll get your light.
Hi.
- Can I help you? - Yeah. Mr. Parker?
- Yup. - My name is Jon LoPresti.
It appears that your daughter had an altercation
with my daughter at school this past week.
Um... Well, come in. Let's, let's talk.
Right in here, please.
- Uh, Jon. Yeah? - Uh-huh.
Just give me a moment. I'm gonna call Skylar down.
Hey, Sky, can you and mom come down, please?
So I'm sure this is just all a big misunderstanding.
Yeah, I hope so because your daughter made
a lot of vile threats to my daughter.
And Chloe's really, really shaken up about it.
I can't even imagine. Um...
Yeah, you can't.
Yeah, dad?
This is Mr... I'm sorry, um...
Yeah, it's Jon. Jon LoPresti.
- So... - What's going on?
Well, Mr. LoPresti here says
that there was some sort of an altercation at school
with his daughter and some threats were made.
Sky?
Uh, I-I, um...
I think I can clear this up.
I spoke to your daughter.
I was picking Sky up from school
and I saw her picking on her.
You know, bullying her pretty badly, actually.
Uh, who are you now?
I'm Sky's sister.
Mr. LoPresti, is this true? Was your daughter the instigator?
Look, I don't know, but I doubt it.
What I do know for a fact is what you said
and the threats that you made, you can't just
go around talking to other kids like that...
Wait, wait, wait.
What exactly did your daughter
say that she said?
Uh, she, uh, she, she...
Look.
I may have been a little harsh. Yeah, I'll admit that.
But when I saw her...
When I saw your daughter
picking on Sky, my sister,
who wouldn't hurt a fly,
I guess I just got a little angry.
And that is perfectly reasonable.
Mr. LoPresti, if I could give you a little bit of advice,
parent to parent,
maybe you could have your daughter
stop harassing my daughter.
I will show myself out.
It's okay. God.
- Are you okay, honey? - Yeah.
Why wouldn't you tell me that?
It's, um, no big deal.
It's a big deal.
- Thank you so much, Bree. - Of course.
For looking out for her. Oh, girls.
I got your barbecue invitation for this weekend.
Your wife sent it to me.
- No? - Oh.
I didn't realize we were... inviting.
Uh, uh, what's the occasion?
Uh, well, I don't know if there's actually an occasion.
But I might as well tell you
since everyone's gonna be talking about it.
- Ooh, this is getting good. - No, no, no. No, no.
- So, um, when Laura was young... - Mm-hmm.
- Well, before she knew me... - Ooh.
She gave a child up for adoption.
Everything was supposed to be confidential,
but she found us, the girl.
She tracked Laura down and so the party is...
- Are you kidding? - No kidding.
Is she some kind of lunatic?
Uh, no, she's, she's actually,
she's actually a perfectly lovely,
well-adjusted young woman, so...
So what's the problem?
I really don't know.
Well, I, for one, am stoked to meet her.
What's, uh, what's her name, anyway?
Her name is Bree.
- Your new daughter? - No. Bree. Bree.
- Bree Hogan. - Bree Hogan.
That sounds made-up.
Look, I gotta get going and...
- Don't you have work to do? - Don't you have to go?
Get to work. I pay you for that.
Such a good boss. Grade-A boss.
You should get some sort of award.
Search Bree Hogan. H-O-G-A-N.
Hogan. Not cheese. Hogan.
Hi.
Girls.
Okay, Tom. There you are, buddy.
- The truth. Lost Lighthouse. - Information.
All right, Mr. Tom. The truth, the whole truth.
All right, well, first, let me preface this by saying
I'm sure that their internal counsel
looked at everything very closely.
But I'm not convinced that the entire enterprise is legal.
Hm.
Leave it to a lawyer
to think about the legal aspects
of the story.
That's why he is the best. And I mean, the best.
No, in all seriousness, though, this...
It seems that this entire company,
this, um, Lost Lighthouse or whatever it's called,
I-it was formed solely for the purpose
of encouraging people
to breach confidential legal documents, all right?
Honey, you're acting like this is
some kind of corporate espionage.
They're just reuniting parents and children.
Well, intent is irrelevant,
I mean, in the eyes of law. You know this.
Really? Okay.
Well, then why are serial killers
punished more harshly
than someone who accidentally
killed someone in a car crash?
Okay, first off, easy, Clarence Darrow.
- First off. - I wanna know.
In this instant, it's just irrelevant, okay?
I mean, if you're going to induce someone
to break a contract,
even if your, uh,
your-your-your intentions are noble, okay?
It's still illegal.
I'm glad she found us. I don't care how it happened.
- Me, too. - Mm, yeah.
So where is this young woman I've heard so much about?
- Oh. - Um...
Uh, she is...
Oh, she's over there talking to Sky.
Oh, yeah. She looks very sweet.
Yeah. She is. You know, it's so funny.
Usually, Sky hates meeting new people, right?
But the two of them have just really hit it off.
Are you gonna introduce us or...
Oh, let 'em be.
Yeah, I don't want her to feel like she's on display, you know?
- Later, later. - Well, on that note...
Here comes someone who's never been confused with sweet.
- There he is. - Hey.
- Gareth. Hey, man. - Michael.
Good to see you, man. Thanks for coming.
- Good to see you. - Uh, Tom, Clarissa.
This is Gareth Drury.
He is our top programmer.
Uh, have you met Tom Caldwell? He is our company lawyer.
Oh, of course.
- No, not officially. - Yeah.
But I've seen your e-mail on plenty of memos.
- Um... - And invoices.
Invoices, memos. Still a pleasure.
Oh, yeah, well, good, man.
- This is my wife, Clarissa. - Oh.
- Oh, lovely. - Nice to meet you.
Join us, man. Come on.
- Please. - There he is.
Last, but not least. Come here, you.
- Hey, sweetheart. - All right.
That's enough. That's enough.
- Oh, please. - Who are you, Sinatra now?
Baby, you know I'm the leader of the rat pack.
Don't even start with me.
So I brought you this Bourbon I've been drinking.
- It's very smooth, small batch. - Nice.
I bring it to your bar
and what do I see but wine coolers
and light beer.
I'm guilty.
Oh, so you open a gift to us and proceeded to help yourself.
- No. No, no, no. - And drink it.
- I did not have a choice, did I? - Well, it doesn't seem like it.
I'll tell you what. You're a man after my own heart.
- I'm gonna get one. - No. Sit. Sit, sit, sit.
Please, I'll get you a glass.
- Sounds good. - Sounds good.
All right.
You gotta watch out for that guy.
Not too carefully, I hope.
Well, well, well.
You must be the one and only Bree.
I've been looking for you.
Excuse me?
I was hoping you and I could
have a little chat later.
Who are you?
- I'm Gareth Drury. - Ah.
I work for Michael, and I have heard a lot about you.
- Oh. - See...
Part of my job is knowing
how to actually use the Internet.
And correct me if I'm wrong,
but you've not been completely honest
with your new family, have you?
I'm sure I don't know what you mean.
No, I think you do.
Have you told anyone?
Well...
not yet.
I was thinking I'd give you an opportunity
to explain yourself.
Thank you.
Don't thank me yet.
♪ Ooh ooh ooh
♪ You know it feels right
♪ Ooh ooh ooh ♪
- Well, that was fast. - Ah.
Well, I was just pouring it.
Not distilling it.
- Okay. Yeah. - That's clever.
- I appreciate it. Hm. - It's good, right?
Mm. Mm. Yeah, that's nice. Thanks, man. I appreciate it.
- Yeah, of course. - Have a seat.
Uh, I will in a minute.
I still need to use the facility.
- Oh. - Two seconds, promise.
- All right. - All right.
In a minute.
Oh, come on, man.
Mm...
Oh...
Watering the flowers?
Uh... Oh, God, you scared me.
You know, I've been thinking about it.
Yeah. About what?
About what you said.
You know, you really should've told Michael
when you had the chance.
And why is that?
'Cause now it's too late.
It wasn't, it wasn't last time they-they stayed here.
Sure you'll pay for it...
Oh, wait. Bree! Hey, honey. Come on over.
I want you to meet some friends of ours.
Oh.
Hey!
- This is Mr. and Mrs. Caldwell. - Hey.
And Tom just so happens to be the attorney
at Michael's company.
- He's my hero. - Hi.
- Um, not really. - Well, Tom and Clarissa.
- No need to be so formal. - Oh, nice to meet you.
We've heard so much about you, Bree.
Why don't you sit down and join us?
- Yeah. - I-I'd love to.
But I actually promised Sky
that I would help her with something.
Uh, we got a new filter for the yearbook.
- That's great. - Okay. Well...
Don't leave without telling me, please, because I want you
to meet Gareth, he's the only one
you haven't met. He's dying to meet you.
- You'll love him. - Yeah.
Gareth. Is that the young...
Tall hair, big mouth... You got it. Did you guys meet?
Yeah, uh, for like two seconds.
Uh, he was actually going to his car.
H-his Uber, actually.
Uh, I know, 'cause, um, I made a joke
about how he was walking, maybe he shouldn't be driving.
Oh... yeah.
- That sounds like Gareth. - It's, uh, early.
All right, well, maybe next time.
- Yeah. - Excuse me.
- Okay. It was great meeting you. - Yeah, nice meeting you.
You, too.
Well, I dunno about you, but I could certainly use another.
- Yes, please. - How about you?
I could use one, but should I have one? That's the question.
- Do you want anything, honey? - No.
- Gentlemen. Nothing? - Okay.
Uh, I'm good, honey. Thank you.
You're right, man, she's lovely.
Who, Laura? Thank you very much.
Eyes over here, pal.
Come on.
So I, uh... I thought you could do something for me.
Hm.
Just, maybe, look into her.
Do a background check...
Whatever it is that you, you know, you do.
Why? Are you worried about something?
No... No, I'm just...
I'm just curious.
All right, I charge $500 an hour. Are you that worried?
Well, I was hoping maybe you could just do this
kind of unofficially, you know, off the books.
- Ah. - As it were.
So you're really, really worried.
Come on, man. What is it?
It's just all too convenient.
You know, she just shows up out of the blue.
Laura is head over heels for her.
Even Sky loves her.
I just, I just wanna make sure everything is on the up and up.
I don't want anyone to get hurt.
Then why not hire a private investigator?
No, I'm not completely paranoid.
Can you just, can you just look into it for me?
For me.
Yeah, no... I'm just kidding. Yeah, I can.
See? I knew you were my hero.
- Thank you. - Cheers, man.
Yeah.
I'll have to teach your friends some manners.
- They are a mess. - Yeah.
- Uh, uh, uh! Oh! - Whoa, get it!
- Oh, my gosh. - Good job!
Good catch. All right.
Bye, dad. We're gonna go help mom.
So have fun.
- Help mom? - Helping her... Yeah.
- Oh, okay. I see it. - I think, I think...
No, I got it. We're good, we're good.
I think you'll be fine.
I don't have a choice.
Ah. Detectives. Hi.
We stopped by earlier in the day, but it looked like
you were having a nice little party. Didn't wanna disturb you.
Yeah, just a little gathering with some friends.
Um, did I miss something important?
Should I, should I get Laura for this?
Maybe we can have a chat first.
Somewhere a little more private.
Uh, yeah, sure.
I mean, I'm just finishing up here.
If you guys will just follow me.
Follow me, gentlemen.
- Yeah. - Please.
Hey, Bree.
Can you help me with this?
Okay, detectives. So, uh, what's going on?
I'm afraid the, uh, odds have changed a bit, Mr. Parker.
And, um, not in our favor.
Sorry, I'm not following you.
The death of your wife's parents,
if you recall, we told you it was a 50-50 chance
that it was an accident.
Well, it seems we now have reason to believe
it was intentional.
- Intentional? - Afraid so.
Seems that one of the neighbors, under further questioning,
remember seeing a young woman visit the property
on the day of the accident.
Well, who was she?
- We don't know yet. - Hm.
The neighbor didn't get a good look at her.
Just said she was a young woman.
Look, there was no reason to suspect
that something might have went amiss.
Uh, detective. You need some help over there?
No, I'm okay.
So, um, I just wanna confirm.
Your wife really hasn't seen her parents in...
what, twen-twenty years?
- Mm-hmm. - That's a long time.
Yeah, detectives, I hope you're not suggesting
that Laura had anything to do with this.
No, no. Of course not. Of course not.
We just wanna make sure that there's nothing, uh,
nothing at all that you're not telling us.
- Like what? - Mm.
You tell us, Mr. Parker. Mm.
Well, like I already told you,
I don't know anything about this.
Um, I mean, you guys are welcome
to ask Laura more questions if you like...
Nah.
- I don't think that's necessary. - No. Yeah.
Yeah, we're sure you're right, you know?
She wouldn't know anything about this mystery woman.
We'll let you get back to cleaning up.
Oh, uh, Mr. Parker, do us a favor.
Give it some more thought.
You know, something might shake loose.
It's amazing what people can remember when they need to.
Hey. I thought you got lost.
Michael?
You okay?
Yeah, yeah. No, no. It's a... That was a big party.
- Yeah. - A lot to clean up. Yeah.
Shed was a mess... Those kids, they can, they can...
I think I should probably get going.
I-I said that I'd be back for dinner.
Well, I can probably never eat again, but...
Oh, thank you so much for coming, Bree.
I know that everybody just loved meeting you.
Hey, thanks for helping me today.
- Well, yeah. - Um, I'll see you later?
- Yeah, totally. - Cool.
- All right. Bye. - Bye.
- Thanks again. - Yeah.
Bye, mom.
Maybe he really doesn't know anything.
- He knows something. - Yeah.
They don't seem like killers to me.
I never said they were killers.
I said they know more than they're letting on.
There's something they're keeping from us.
What?
That I don't know.
But I think I'm gonna pay them another visit.
One when they're least expecting it.
No way a judge is gonna give us a warrant.
Not even your buddy Adam, and not for something this flimsy.
Since when do you need a warrant to go for a stroll
on a beautiful afternoon?
Are you okay?
You're just, I don't know...
You've been kind of quiet since the barbecue.
Yes, of course.
Okay.
Well, I think everybody had a really good time. Don't you?
I do. Congratulations.
Thank you.
So...
Did Tom say anything?
You know, about Bree.
Um... no, not really.
Except that she seemed sweet.
Yeah. Yeah, she is.
Well, I'm exhausted.
Okay.
You know, I've-I've been thinking.
Mm?
About your parents.
My parents?
I haven't even thought about my parents.
Why would you?
Did Bree know anything about them?
I mean, yeah, I told her.
You know, how, how it was their decision to...
Their decision to give her up for adoption.
Yeah. Why?
Nothing, just...
Tom put something in your head?
'Cause, you know, it's just like him to be suspicious.
Tom didn't say anything.
Okay, well, then why the third degree?
This is hardly the third degree, Laura.
All right, well...
Look, I'm just too tired to talk about this nonsense.
Honestly.
It was such a beautiful day.
Please don't ruin it.
You've reached Gareth.
You know what to do.
Gareth, it's Michael.
Hey, buddy.
You're not responding to my e-mails or texts.
I need you today. Call me.
And I better not hear you're hung over. You got that?
Call me.
Yeah. How you doing?
I am sorry, man. Please. Sit.
- Sorry. Ah. - What's up?
You remember Gareth, the one you met at the party.
- Yeah, yeah. That guy. - I can't get in touch with him.
- And, uh... - Ah, come on.
He's young. Come on, he's-he's irresponsible.
Just like I assume we were.
Yes, but not on my dime.
- Right, right. - Anyways. So, uh...
What you got for me, huh?
So, listen, I, I didn't dig too deep.
But I, um, I did what you asked me to.
And, you know, I'm happy to say
it's, it's everything she said it was gonna be. So...
See, it's, uh, Bree Hogan
adopted in the State of California, 1996.
She graduated from Judd Elementary,
uh, went to Memorial High School
and attended West Lake College.
So...
That's it?
Oh, I'm sorry. No.
Um, apparently, she's also
a cannibal with multiple personalities.
- Oh, come on. - So there's that.
I mean, what, w-what did you think
I was gonna find here?
I don't know. I just, I don't know.
Okay, listen, look, this corroborates everything
she said, all right?
Unless you have other suspicions
and a good reason for 'em, man,
you gotta let it go.
- Yeah. Okay, all right. - All right?
- Thank you. I appreciate it. - Yeah.
Listen to me, I did this as your friend.
But as your lawyer, you need to get back to work.
You need to forget about all this stuff.
All right? It's fine, trust me.
- A lawyer that says, "Trust me." - Okay, come on. I gotta go.
Thank you. Sorry for missing you.
- It's okay, you owe me a drink. - Hey, I owe you one.
- Yeah. - Yeah.
I can't believe this.
This is so ridiculous.
So I know she only posted that to embarrass me, right?
And, of course, she denied it and took it down,
but Justin had already seen it. Of course.
Ugh. She's such a...
You should probably be careful.
Yeah, it's just really messed up.
Look.
I don't wanna sound like that annoying older sister,
but you should probably watch what you post on social media.
I mean, I have friends who lost jobs
because their employers saw some
embarrassing photo of them online.
Uh, I mean, don't get paranoid. Just be smart.
Yeah.
So tell me, what's it like?
Is your sister upset that you're spending so much time here?
We don't have to talk about it if you don't want to.
No, uh... No, it's okay. It's...
Oh, to be honest, we weren't...
never really that close.
Must've been hard being the adopted one, huh?
Actually, it was quite the opposite.
My sister always had it harder than me.
I mean, my parents,
they wanted to make sure that because I was adopted,
I never felt different.
So they wanted me to feel like I was just as much their kid
as their biological one.
So what was the problem?
M-my sister, Jessica,
she resented that.
She felt like they favored me.
So she started acting out,
you know, try and get attention.
You know, usually, the adopted one's the one
that causes problems, but in our family
it was the other way around.
That must have been really hard on you to deal with that.
You know, for the most part, we were a normal happy family.
I mean, Jessie and I had some great times together.
It's just, sometimes she'd...
lose it.
Lose it?
Yeah, she, uh,
got into some fights.
We actually, uh, had to put her
into an institution.
A mental institution?
It's over now.
But I, I just don't wanna talk about it.
Yeah. Yeah. No. Um, I'm sorry.
I, I-I didn't mean to pry.
No, you're not prying. I mean, we're sisters.
But I do have to go to the bathroom.
Okay. Yeah.
Hey, uh, when you get back, do you think
we could do our nails again?
Sure. There's polish in my purse.
- Okay. - I'll just be a minute.
All right.
That's my favorite. Azure Sky, right?
Yeah. Right.
I actually have to go soon.
I've been wanting to take these classes at the community college
and it's orientation tonight.
- Great, yeah. - Thank you for those.
- Mm-hmm. - Mm-hmm.
So, um, so I had something
that I wanted to discuss with everyone.
Mm-hmm. Like what?
Okay, so you know the third room,
the guest room that nobody ever uses?
Mm-hmm.
Well, what do you think
about turning that into a room for Bree?
Um, have you mentioned this to Bree yet?
No. Of course not. I wanted us all to discuss it first.
But, I mean, frankly, I thought you'd be a little more excited.
Sky?
Honey, I thought you'd be thrilled.
- Hey, mom. - Yeah?
What was grandma's name again?
Eleanor.
Why? What made you ask me about her?
Did, did Bree say something to you?
She didn't. I mean, she didn't tell me anything about them.
So? What about the room?
Not yet, mom. Okay?
Honey, did something happen between the two of you
that you wanna tell me?
No, no. We're fine, mom.
Bree's great.
It's just, it's too soon.
Well...
It's been almost 20 years for me.
Honey...
What?
- Hey. - Hey.
Are you okay?
Yeah, I'm fine.
I'm not the one in this family who's completely lost it.
Hey, come on. Just cut her a break.
Look, you know, I like Bree.
I like having her around. She's cool.
I just don't understand why we have to pretend
like all of a sudden she's a part of this family,
when she's obviously not.
I know. I know that.
But just try to understand how your mother feels.
This is very emotional for her.
And I realize that you didn't know about any of this.
And what happened all those years ago,
you know, giving up the baby,
it was extremely hard on her.
- Yeah. - I just want you to know.
If you ever wanna talk, I'm here for you.
Okay.
Thank you, dad.
- Love you. - Love you, too.
Coming.
- Hi. - Hello.
I'm looking for Elizabeth Hogan.
I'm Elizabeth Hogan. Who are you?
I'm Skylar. Bree's half-sister.
- H-hi. Um... - Hi.
- Come in. - Thank you. Thank you.
Sure. Of course. Um...
So, Skylar, what can we do for you?
Um, like I said, a few weeks ago,
your daughter Bree showed up at our house.
She told us she was my mother's biological daughter.
Some agency helped her find us.
- I told you something was up. - No, you didn't.
I did. I thought it was a new boyfriend.
You didn't think anything.
Ignore this one.
So she wasgone more often than normal,
but, well, she probably told you this as well.
She's just been trying to find herself.
Find herself. That's what she told us. Yeah.
She's thinking about what to do with her future.
Yeah, but even when she was home, she was perfectly happy.
And she didn't tell you guys anything
about how she was looking for us,
that she found us?
No. I mean, Bree's always been a very private person.
- Even as a kid, right? - Yeah.
Yeah, I don't know if that's just who she is
or if it's just a part of the adoption...
Well, she was only a day old when we adopted her.
I mean, she didn't even know she was adopted for ten more years.
I mean, what would that have to do with anything?
This one knows nothing about child psychology.
So it's all true then?
You guys adopted her right away,
the two of your raised her in this house?
Do you have any reason to believe otherwise?
I mean, there was one time when in first grade
where she stole something.
- Right? - Oh.
Besides that, she's always been
a very, very honest child and adult.
No, no. Uh... We all love Bree.
It's just that
I wanted to make sure that,
well, that everything was
what she said it was.
You know, it was kind of a shock,
her just showing up like that.
Well, I imagine it was pretty rough on her, as well.
Yeah, no. Of course.
So she still lives here with you guys and her sister?
Well, uh, Jessie doesn't live with us anymore.
She hasn't for quite a while.
How much did she tell you about her relationship
with her sister?
Um, she, she said
that she loves her
and, well, it was complicated.
Well, Jessica thought we favored Bree.
Well, we actually may have overcompensated.
We were just, we were trying to do the right thing.
We never wanted Bree to feel like she was anything
other than our actual daughter.
But maybe we went too far.
Oh, no. We didn't go too far.
I mean, Jessie just needed to be more understanding.
Well, there's no such thing as a perfect family, right?
No matter how hard you try.
That's for sure.
But if it makes you guys feel any better,
according to Bree, your family was as close as it gets.
- Come on, Banks. - Hello, detective.
- Aren't they beautiful? - Yeah.
Ah. Are you sure I can't get you something to eat?
Oh, no. I'm okay. Thank you.
Um, you know, actually, I should probably start heading out.
I didn't tell anyone where I was going.
To be honest, I kinda felt
a little bit silly about coming here.
No, do not feel silly at all.
You are a very mature and smart young lady.
And I bet, your parents are very proud of you.
You know what? I think Bree's home.
Oh. Uh, I didn't know she was gonna be here.
I didn't even think of what I was gonna say.
Well, don't worry about it. It'll be fine.
- Yeah. - I hope so.
- Hi, honey. - Hi.
Hi, I'm Bree.
Wait.
You-you don't know who she is?
I'm sorry. Have we met somewhere before?
Whoa, whoa, wait a minute. What...
You wanna let us know what's going on here?
Who's this?
Uh, that's our daughter, Jessica.
I'm sorry, can somebody explain to me what exactly is going on?
Um... I'm sorry.
- Uh... - Wait. Wait, wait, what?
Sky?
Bree?
Are you guys home?
Sky?
Bree?
Skylar?
Guys?
Come on.
Come on, come on, come on.
Come on, mom.
- Hey, you've reached Laura... - Mom...
Leave your name and number after the beep
and then text me and let me know
you left me a voice mail.
Mom, listen to me.
Whatever you do, do not let Bree into the house.
She's not who she says she is. She's her sister.
Just trust me on this one. Don't let her into the house, okay?
Don't let her in.
Oh. Mama's awake.
Please... you don't need to do this.
You have no idea what I need.
None!
I am so, so sorry.
I never ever wanted to give you away.
You have to believe that.
You didn't give me away.
No, I didn't. You're right. They did.
My parents did that, and-and then when they did that,
I-I never spoke to them again.
You have no idea who I am, do you?
You're my daughter.
I wanted to be.
I wanted to see what it felt like to have a mother
who'll love you unconditionally, because I never had that.
I don't understand. You, you told me that they loved you.
They loved their adopted daughter.
Loved her until they had no more love to give to anyone else.
When something went wrong...
who do you think they blamed?
When one child was chosen for something,
who do you think they chose?
When opportunities were to be had,
who got them first?
- Oh, my God. - She did.
You're not Bree. You're not...
And if it wasn't for you,
if it wasn't for you giving her away,
I wouldn't have had to deal with any of it.
I would've had all the love from both of my parents for myself.
Bree, or whoever you are, you have to believe me.
- I, I didn't... - Yeah, I know, I know.
It was mommy and daddy. They made you do it.
Well, you know what? I took care of that.
But if you would've kept your slutty,
little teenage legs closed,
we wouldn't be in this situation in the first place.
Mom?
Oh, no.
Mom...
Oh, God.
You have to pay.
You have to pay for everything
that you did to me.
You-you-you, you can't d-do this. You can't...
Jessica!
Skylar! Run!
It's too late, mom.
Yeah, that's right.
After everything she did to you, I couldn't just allow her
to get away with it, could I?
What are you talking about?
I was just at the Hogans' house. Nice people.
You're lying.
There's a, there's a blue wind chime with a starfish on it
outside the front door.
Um, on, uh, on the mantel,
there's pictures of you and Bree on it, and happy.
I'm sorry.
It's too late.
- I can't go back. - Skylar, run!
Leave her alone!
Sky!
Don't hurt her!
Oh, God! Please, leave her alone.
Just leave her alone!
- Mom... - Go, baby, run.
You can do it, yes, you can.
You can.
Look out! She's behind you!
You should've stayed out of it.
No.
Now you have to go.
Get off of me!
Jessica.
Sky...
Sky, baby...
- Oh. - Oh, baby.
Sky!
- Show me your hands! - No, no, no, no, no!
- Laura! - Let's go!
That's her right there.
Guys. Oh, God.
You okay, guys? Let me see, let me see, let me see.
Oh, baby.
- I'm sorry. - You're okay.
Honey, are you okay? Are you okay?
- No. No, no, no... - You have the right to remain...
No! No! No...
It's okay.
- Oh, guys. - Laura!
Laura!
- Get her out of here! - It's okay, it's okay. Shh, shh!
Let me see. Oh, God, we gotta get you to the hospital.
Guys. Oh, oh, God...
It was on and off for years.
Ms. Hogan was institutionalized.
And now she's back where she belongs,
where she can't hurt anyone ever again.
Well, I'm so sorry about your partner.
Thank you.
I'll leave you all alone now.
- Ms. Parker... - Detective, thank you so much.
Please, get some rest and heal up, okay?
I will.
I can't thank you enough, detective.
- Absolutely. - Thank you.
- Who's hungry? - I could use real food.
Okay. Well, I will be right back.
- Anything but pizza. - Oh, of course, yeah.
- Thank you, honey. - Love you, guys.
- Mom. - Yeah.
There is someone that we'd like you to meet
if, if you're up for it, of course.
Honey, I'm fine.
- Are you sure? - Yeah, I'm fine.
- I hate being stuck in this bed. - Okay.
- But I'm fine. Yeah. - All right.
Knock, knock.
Uh, I have someone I would like for you to meet.
Laura, this is your daughter Bree.
I wish we could've met
under better circumstances.
I am so sorry.
For what?
You gave me... the best gift
you possibly could have.
A life.
That is something that...
no matter what, I will never forget.
It's really you.
You did this?
Come here.
Good afternoon, everyone.
As you know, I'm Dr. Ray
and I'm here to help you.
I wanna be your friend.
I want you to consider this your safe space.
You can tell me anything at all that you'd like.
No one will judge you. So why don't we start over here?
Anybody wanna tell me anything that's bothering them?
Anything at all going on?
How about over here? Anyone?
Nothing? No one?
What about you, Jess? Would you like to join us?
Jess, honey, there's an empty chair here.
Bree, can you join us?
I'm Bree.
They didn't understand me.
My next family will love me.
I promise.
