- Laura, Laura - Yeah
We're almost there, okay? We're gonna get her out, okay?
- Oh, yes! - 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
- 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
She's perfect
- She has ten fingers and ten toes - Okay
- 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. Can you just... - Where's my baby?
- Lemme see her! - You need your strength
- Time to rest. You need to sleep - Where is she? My baby...
Where is she? Give her to me!
"Why did you let me eat that last piece?"
So who's, who's ready for dessert? Anyone?
Okay. Okay
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?
That makes sense
- 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"
then mom should be really, really happy and we gotta make mommy happy
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
I'm gonna get ice cream
- I don't know where it goes - It's unbelievable
- I know - Do you want ice cream?
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
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...
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
- 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
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!
So you have a family
Yeah, I do I have a family
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?
Well, I'd like you to meet everybody
Only if you want I don't wanna...
- I just... - No, I... I'd like that
- Thank you - Great
Great
I should actually be going So...
Okay
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?
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
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?
Of course You're gonna run analytics
I already had Andrea run them a second time
Right
- 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...
Let me, let me grab this
Hey
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'm sorry But why is this a police matter?
Carbon monoxide poisoning... It's, it's... It's a tragedy, but I...
You're right 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
But the fire inspector said well... 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
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
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?
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
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? Is this fine? - You look great. Let's go
- Come on - Okay
- 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
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
Sky, right there
So, Bree, 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
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
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
We have a whole other pizza So there's no shortage
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
- 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
I'm not gonna be home in time Sorry, sweetheart
- Yeah... - You?
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
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! 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!
- 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
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
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 the 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
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, what the hell does that even mean?
It means that you didn't raise her that we didn'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
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
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
Well, come in Let's, let's talk
Right in here, please
Jon? Yeah?
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
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? - I... I...
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
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?
- 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
God!
Are you okay, honey?
- Yeah - Why wouldn't you tell me that?
It's... 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?
I didn't realize we were... inviting
What's the occasion?
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...
This is getting good
No, no, no
So, um, when Laura was young...
Well, before she knew me...
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
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 Lost Lighthouse or whatever it's called
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 - Yeah
So where is this young woman I've heard so much about?
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 - Tom, Clarissa
This is Gareth Drury He is our top programmer
Have you met Tom Caldwell? He is our company lawyer
Of course
- No, not officially - Yeah
But I've seen your e-mail on plenty of memos
- And invoices - Invoices, memos
- Still a pleasure - Yeah, well, good, man
- This is my wife, Clarissa - 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 - 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 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
I work for Michael and I have heard a lot about you
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
Well, that was fast
Well, I was just pouring it Not distilling it
Okay. That's clever Yeah. I appreciate it
It's good, right?
Yeah, that's nice Thanks, man. I appreciate it
- Yeah, of course - Have a seat
I will in a minute
I still need to use the facility
- Two seconds, promise - All right
All right
- "In a minute" - Oh, come on, man
Watering the flowers?
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 last time they stayed here - So bad...
Sure you'll pay for it...
Oh, wait. Bree!
Hey, honey Come on over
I want you to meet some friends of ours
Hey!
- This is Mr. and Mrs. Caldwell - Hi
And Tom just so happens to be the attorney at Michael's company
- He's my hero - Hi
- Not really. Everybody says that - Well, Tom and Clarissa
- No need to be so formal - 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
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
- Oh, yeah! - He's the only one you haven't met
- He's dying to meet you. Yeah - You'll love him
Gareth Is that the young...
Tall hair, big mouth... You got it
Did you guys meet?
Yeah, uh, for like two seconds
He was actually going to his car
His Uber, actually
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 - Yeah
but should I have one? That's the question
- Do you want anything, honey? - No
Gentlemen Nothing?
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
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 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. Yeah - Cheers, man
I'll have to teach your friends some manners, they are a mess
Yeah
- 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
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
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
Yeah, sure I mean, I'm just finishing up here
If you guys will just follow me
- Follow me, gentlemen, please - Yeah
"Hey, Bree Can you help me with this?"
Okay, detectives So, uh, what's going on?
I'm afraid the odds have changed a bit, Mr. Parker
And 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
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
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?
- 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...
Nothing at all that you're not telling us
Like what?
You tell us, Mr. Parker
Well, like I already told you I don't know anything about this
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
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 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
- I'll see you later? Cool - Yeah, totally
- 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
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
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 - 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...
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, went to Memorial High School
and attended West Lake College
So...
That's it?
I'm sorry No
Apparently, she's also a cannibal with multiple personalities
- Oh, come on - So there's that
I mean, what... 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
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
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... No, it's okay It's...
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?
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 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, 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, when you get back do you think we could do our nails again?
Sure There's polish in my purse
- Okay. All right. - I'll just be a minute.
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"
So...
So I had something that I wanted to discuss with everyone
Like what?
Okay, so you know the third room the guest room that nobody ever uses?
Well, what do you think about turning that into a room for Bree?
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
- Hi - Hi
- Come in - Thank you
Sure Of course
So, Skylar, what can we do for you?
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 was gone 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 you 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?
Besides that, she's always been a very, very honest child and adult
No, no
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, 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?
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
Are you sure I can't get you something to eat?
Oh, no I'm okay, thank you
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
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
- Hey - 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?
That's our daughter, Jessica
I'm sorry, can somebody explain to me what exactly is going on?
I'm sorry
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
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
for everything that you did to me
You... you... you, you can't 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
on 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

Jessica
