No, please. No, no, please, please. Don't-don't-don't-don't do this. I'm sorry. I'm sorry, but I had no choice, okay? I had to do it. I'm sorry. I had to, please. Please, don't. Don't do this. Don't. Don't. � MAN 1 Let's go brother. � MAN 2 Let's go, coach! Yeah! � AARON Alright, Mecca, tell us what we can expect this season. MECCA Last year was such a huge transition for us between Damien's new position as head coach and Tara always trying to come for my neck, it really was all eyes on us last season. But Tara knows I'm not the one or the two. So with a little luck, we'll have less mayhem this year. AARON So, what can viewers expect to see from you this season? MECCA Well, I'm continuing to run mine and Damien's nonprofit, which, for that, we're throwing an empowerment luncheon. And, of course, we have our game date cookbook, which is set to be released just in time for us to play the big game. DAMIEN Hey, let them know, baby. AARON And your family life? MECCA Damien and I are as much of a team as the prospectors. We are so solid. AARON Any plans for new teammates? The rookie league, if you will. MECCA Love and want kids. But when the time is right, you know. AARON No, I don't. Can you elaborate? MECCA Of course we want to expand our family, but it just hasn't happened yet. So, um, when the time is right, God will bless us. AARON And you're trying. DAMIEN Trish, these questions are inappropriate. TRISH It's a reality television show. DAMIEN Trish. TRISH It makes for good television, Damien. Isn't that what you both want? DAMIEN All right. Um... I think that's about it for today. AARON Well, I just have a few more questions DAMIEN You'll have to do that another time. We have other appointments to attend. MECCA Thank you. Thank you. DAMIEN Got you baby. MECCA I'm a little out of practice. DAMIEN Now, you know I always got you. AARON All right, let's wrap it up, people. You know, the nonprofits and the business ventures, they're not gonna work this season. It's not what the Trophy Wives audience want. They want drama. � SAMMY To a good season. MECCA May it bring many brand deals. � MECCA Mm.. SAMMY Mm-hmm. Shoot went well then? MECCA I mean, it went as well as it could have. Aaron kept pushing me to answer why we don't have kids yet. SAMMY He's the producer. That's his job, babe. I told you, when you joined the show, they're gonna get pushy and weirdly manipulative. � ELI Mommy, mommy, Sylvie won't let me pick a show. SAMMY Well, did Sylvie suggest a show first? Okay, well, why don't you watch your sister's show first, and next episode, it'll be your turn. ELI But her show is 20 minutes, and mine is only 15. SAMMY So what do we do when things don't feel fair? ELI Negotiate. SAMMY That's right. MECCA He's so cute. � MECCA But, girl, I don't think I want all of America talking about my fertility issues. Remember all those memes they made about that wig I wore last season? SAMMY Oh, girl, I remember. � MECCA Oh SAMMY Hey, you never told me how your last round of IVF went. MECCA Not well. Wonder Fertility certainly hasn't done wonders for me. Honestly, I don't know how much more I can take of this. Every time I get my hopes up just to just to still not be a mother. SAMMY What about adoption? MECCA I don't know. Uh SAMMY You don't know or Damien doesn't know? MECCA Damien just wants to be a dad. I feel like Damien would be happy if someone just left a baby at our doorstep. SAMMY So what's the problem? MECCA Honestly, I don't think I could let go of the idea of having a baby. To teach a little girl that she's beautiful. Or to teach a little boy to cherish and respect the woman in his life. SAMMY And you can't do that if the child isn't biologically yours? MECCA I mean, of course, but I'm talking about a baby. Helping to shape a human from birth. Do you know how rare infant adoptions are? SAMMY So it's the weight that is the problem? ELI Mommy. Mommy. Sylvie won't negotiate. SAMMY All right, time to mediate. Come on. � MECCA Hello. Hello? TARA ON PHONE And you had the nerve to copy me with your little yoga studio in Topanga? Do you ever have an original thought inside that skull of yours? Clearly not! Because you're still wearing platform shoes from 2008! MECCA ON PHONE I'm staying out of Tara's drama, but I can't say I'm not amused. MECCA Always a spectator, Mecca. � MECCA Geez, I'm coming. TRISH We need to talk. � MECCA They're kicking me off the show, aren't they? TRISH Of course not. The network loves me, and by extension, you. MECCA Okay, so what's up? TRISH Maybe you should sit down for this. MECCA Okay. Quit it with the dramatics. Talk. TRISH Okay. Don't kill the messenger. But I thought it'd be best coming for me so that we can do damage control. MECCA Damage control for what? TRISH Damien is being sued. MECCA Oh, Christ. What did he do this time? I swear, if he got into another screaming match with a fan TRISH It's a bit more serious than that. DAMIEN Mecca, don't believe it! Baby, don't believe it. It isn't true, okay? TRISH Damien, just just DAMIEN Stay out of it, Trish. TRISH I can't stay out of this because this needs to be managed. I'm your manager. DAMIEN I don't even know this girl. MECCA What girl? TRISH If the press gets a hold of this Mecca, we need a game plan. This could tank you if we don't play this smart. If if the press finds out about this. Oh, God. What-what is her name? DAMIEN I don't know her! MECCA Enough! Explain. TRISH Damien is being sued for child support. MECCA No, this-this is.This is a prank, right? Like a really late April fool's joke? DAMIEN Baby. you know, I'd never cheat on you. TRISH Well. DAMIEN Shut up, Trish. Baby, this girl is a nut job, okay? Con artist. 'Cause I ain't been with nobody but you. We'll get the DNA test and we'll put this to bed. TRISH Well, if she really is a con a rtist, she will fight you on the DNA test. DAMIEN It doesn't matter. We'll get one ordered by the court. I already talked to my lawyer, and he says that's standard for cases like this. And all of this will be like a bad memory. MECCA Trish. TRISH Yeah? MECCA Reschedule our meeting with Aaron. TRISH You too. ANGELA They're 15 minutes late. MATT I don't think we'll be long. ANGELA Do we have to wait? � JOSS Damien, Mecca, this is Matt Requin and his client, Angela Wright. Angela, this is Damien and Mecca Noble. ANGELA Mecca, I, uh, I just started watching your show. It's a hoot. really sorry about all this. MECCA Sure you are. JOSS Very well. Shall we get started? Before we can discuss terms of custody or financial support, we'll require Ms. Wright submit to a DNA test for the unborn child. We're prepared to take this to a judge to get a court order if Miss Wright doesn't comply. ANGELA That won't be necessary. Really. We've already taken the liberty of scheduling a DNA test at Griffith Memorial this afternoon. Matt here thought that you might ask for one, so I just thought, let's get her done. I don't have anything to hide. DAMIEN Well, good. Couldn't agree more. The sooner we get this situation cleared up, the sooner we could all move on with our lives. MECCA Hmm. SAMMY Where's Damien? I thought he was coming with you. Okay. MECCA Ah. SAMMY I take it the meeting with the lawyers did not go well. MECCA They agreed to a DNA test immediately. Already had it booked. Joss and Damien were so certain that we'd need a court order, but they didn't even put up a fight. It's like they already know what the results are gonna be. SAMMY You don't think MECCA That my husband stepped out on our marriage? SAMMY No, no, no, you cannot think that way. Damien loves you. I have never seen anyone look at another person, the way that man looks at you. He would never cheat on you. MECCA He already has. SAMMY What are you talking about? MECCA It was after we got engaged, and I didn't find out until a year into our marriage. SAMMY Who was she? MECCA Groupie, I think. He said he needed to make sure that he was making the right choice. � SAMMY And he couldn't do that without getting underneath someone else? Oh. SAMMY Why didn't you ever tell me? MECCA Because I was embarrassed, Sammy. And he said it was a onetime thing, that marriage is sacred, and blah, blah, blah and. SAMMY There you go. I mean, Damien would never break his vows. MECCA But. what if. SAMMY What? MECCA A wife is supposed to give you children. And after our first IVF failure, he was so distant. The team won their away game in Tampa, and I couldn't get a hold of him all night. He always calls me after their wins except for that one time. SAMMY Mecca. MECCA His team would never snitch on him if he was to cheat on me. I would never find out unless SAMMY Unless he got someone pregnant. MECCA Exactly. SAMMY What about the girl? MECCA Oh, she seems like a sweet hometown girl. Yeah, she didn't say much, but she comes across very innocent. SAMMY But you don't trust her? MECCA Sweet, innocent girls don't hire sharks for lawyers. JALEN Coach. Where you been at, man? I've been waiting on you all day. DAMIEN Jalen. What do you need? JALEN That book you said you was gonna give me? We all good. DAMIEN Yeah. Um, sorry, J I just had a lot on my mind today. JALEN What's up? DAMIEN Join me. � DAMIEN Look, this stays between you and me. But I'm being sued for child support. JALEN The man who says Find a good woman and settle down, cheated on his lady? DAMIEN I did not cheat on Mecca. JALEN Okay. All right. If you didn't cheat, you didn't cheat. Unless you think you did. DAMIEN I don't remember what happened that night at the Tampa game. JALEN Oh. DAMIEN It's a complete blind spot. JALEN Oh, the boys said you got wasted. I didn't know that meant blackout drunk wasted. DAMIEN I would never cheat on Mecca if I was in my right mind. JALEN Okay, but that doesn't really matter now, does it? If you fathered a child. DAMIEN If that child is mine. JALEN Do you think Mecca can handle it? DAMIEN I honestly don't know. JALEN Well, I know I've done some dumbass shit when I was blacked out, so. DAMIEN Speaking of which, staying out of trouble? JALEN Ptch! Come on, coach. I'm in bed by ten. I haven't been to the club since preseason. DAMIEN Well, good. Team needs you at your best. None of that shit from last season. JALEN I know, coach. DAMIEN Mm hmm. MACKENZIE Coach. Defense was hoping to go over the new plays with you. DAMIEN Thanks, Mackenzie. I'll be there in a minute. JALEN Well. All right then, coach. Good luck with the baby mama drama. DAMIEN You good? MECCA Yeah, it's just Aaron again. � JOSS Picked this up from the hospital directly. Damien, would you like to do the honors? DAMIEN Baby, listen to me. I. ANGELA Now that we've settled that, I hope that we can talk about what really matters here. Our baby. JOSS Maybe we can take a second to digest this shocking information. ANGELA Look, Mecca, I, I know that this is hard right now, but I hope that we can learn to co parent together. MECCA Co parent? ANGELA Maybe even be friends. DAMIEN Mecca, can we talk about it? MECCA Oh, so you wanna talk to me now? After lying to me about cheating? After cheating? DAMIEN I swear I didn't lie. MECCA When we met that girl, I saw the look of recognition on your face. So was that really the first time you laid eyes on her? That's what I thought. I'm done. DAMIEN Mecca! DAMIEN Baby? You home? � TRISH Mm mm mm. You making friends? MECCA Charlie's good people. TRISH Okay, well, let's just not do anything that anyone would want to tweet about. MECCA Whatever. It happens all the time. Finding out your husband is a philandering skank, on the other hand, does not. TRISH Why don't we go back to my place? Hmm? I got a great pinot. MECCA My whole stupid life is wrapped around a man that doesn't even love me. The producer of the stupid reality TV show that I'm on, won't stop blowing up my phone. TRISH I will deal with Aaron. But you know Damien loves you. MECCA I can do without that kind of love, Trish. I'll be better off building a new life for myself. TRISH Mm. Mm hmm. Can I get two gin and tonics, please? CHARLIE Yeah. TRISH Thank you. CHARLIE Yeah. Comin' right up. TRISH Okay, let's say it's true. Let's say you are done with Damien and are ready to strike out on your own. Say goodbye to that brand image, Mecca. I mean, you're coming out with a cookbook together for God's sake. Yours is a family brand. Gonna be hard to keep that up with no husband and no kids. MECCA It's low blow. TRISH Oh, thank you. Well, you pay me to tell you how it is. And how it is, is that we live in a sexist society that would jump on the chance to blame a woman for the breakup of her marriage. Now, you'll be rebuilding amongst a messy divorce from a man who left you for another woman whom he impregnated. MECCA Well, I don't care. TRISH Oh? MECCA Yeah. I'm hardly the first reality TV star to go through a divorce, so, it's fine. TRISH All right, mm-hmm. Maybe you're right. Maybe I can spin this in your favor. Mm? You are beautiful, college educated. Rebranding as an independent woman isn't off the table. I will have to throw Damien under the bus. Ooh, I could leak to the press that he cheated on you while you were going through fertility issues.Yeah. I will brand you as the victorious hero and him as the villainous monster. But you're okay with that, right? DAMIEN I first wanna thank you for coming home. I know none of this is easy for you. But being willing to hear me out. means everything. That woman. Angela. I swear I don't know her. I mean, she looked familiar. But. I really couldn't say where I've seen her before, I swear to you. MECCA The Tampa away game. DAMIEN I don't know, but maybe. I don't remember much from that night. MECCA That's convenient. DAMIEN Oh, come on, we were celebrating and everything that was happening with us. Okay? Yeah, I admit it I drank too much and I blacked out. But I woke up the next morning in my hotel room with no sign that anyone else was ever there. MECCA So you were fully clothe d. So that Angela woman.All of her claims are true, then. DAMIEN I'm sorry, but you have to believe that at least. I didn't expect any of this. I love you so much. MECCA You've said that before. DAMIEN Oh, come on, don't do that. That ain't fair. MECCA Did I lie? DAMIEN Listen.I don't remember what happened. And that's the truth. I don't believe I did it. But I.I must have. MECCA And you want. to be a father to her child? DAMIEN I wouldn't be the man you love if I was willing to abandon a child. MECCA I don't think I could do this. DAMIEN Baby. MECCA What do you expect? I just, I need, I need time. I need time to process all of this. DAMIEN Yeah. Yeah, what.What whatever you need. Yeah, we could take it one day at a time. Yeah. You could know as much or as little as you like, and you could be involved a-as much or as little as you like. MECCA But I. But I don't want her coming around here. DAMIEN Mecca. MECCA Damien, I'm not playin' with you. It's just, it all feels like too much. Yes, hi. I just wanted to confirm my menu for the luncheon. Yes, that's right. Mecca Noble. Okay, thank you. Oh, yes. Yes, that's correct. Okay. Thank you so much. Bye. What's in the folder? DAMIEN Medical records. MECCA what for? DAMIEN They are for the doctors to do a full family medical history on the baby. MECCA You you have a doctor's appointment? DAMIEN An ultrasound. I don't know how much of this you want to hear. MECCA No, it's it's good. I-I want to know. It's just. DAMIEN Hey.Gotta go. MECCA Hello? � MECCA Who is this? Uh. ANGELA I missed you. MECCA What the f. ANGELA at the ultrasound. This is for you. Look, I want you to know that I had no idea that Damien was married that night. I'm from Safety Harbor, Florida. I didn't even know who he was. MECCA Really? ANGELA Yeah. I mean, honestly, I thought he was on the team. MECCA He's 41. ANGELA Really? Huh. I guess what they say is true. Sorry. Mecca, I don't want to come between you and Damien. I actually want us to be friends. Our baby's gonna have two mommies. That sounds like the luckiest baby in the world to me. MECCA Thank you so much. Angela, was it? Well, Angela, thank you for bringing this gift. But I was actually just heading out, so. ANGELA Okay. You know, I'm really looking forward to getting to know you, Mecca. � MECCA Ugh. ANGELA Come to my room. JALEN Coach. You was looking for me? DAMIEN Yeah. Uh, take a seat, Jalen. What's this I hear about an argument in the locker room? JALEN Is that what this is about? Coach, you had me feeling like I was going to the principal's office. DAMIEN Jalen. JALEN It was nothing, coach. DAMIEN Nothing, or nothing you want me to know about? JALEN The boy's been talking, huh? DAMIEN I don't want you hanging around those people that are just gonna pull you back into old habits. JALEN I know, coach, but I promise you, it's nothing. I even been reading that book you gave me and everything. DAMIEN Oh, yeah? JALEN Yeah. Trish got me reading it. She said it's good for my image. DAMIEN All right, well, just come to me if you feel tempted by your old lifestyle, all right? JALEN Of course, coach. Anything else? DAMIEN Yeah. Mecca's having a luncheon next week, and I want you to come. Get you around a different crowd. JALEN Okay. Is there gonna be any girls there? DAMIEN There will be women there. And yes, the type of women that you'd be smart to have in your life. JALEN Okay, say less. Say less. DAMIEN All right. Now get going. I got some work to do. � MECCA Your baby mama paid me a visit today. She brought over this gift because I guess you don't know how to set boundaries DAMIEN That's not fair. MECCA Is it not? Did you tell her not to come by the house? Because how does she even know our address, Damien? DAMIEN I can see you gearing up for a fight. MECCA No, we're already in one. She was in my house talking about her baby having two mommies! DAMIEN And I'm sorry for that. But you didn't exactly tell me what you want her to know. MECCA Well feel free to let her know that I'm not interested in being her sister wife. DAMIEN Mecca. I'm doing the best that I can. This situation is hard for me, too. Do you think that this is how I imagined.becoming a father? I haven't promised anything, but I do have responsibilities to this child. Who, by the way, also didn't ask to be born into this insane situation. Now, I don't know how any of this ends up, but it could go in our favor. MECCA ON TABLET Don't push your luck, Damien. DAMIEN ON TABLET Eventually, we might have to talk about custody. MECCA Damien! DAMIEN That could be our way to limit our interaction with Angela. MECCA Look, I don't wanna talk to you about taking a child away from their mom. DAMIEN Mecca, wait. Yeah, Trish? TRISH ON PHONE You just waking up? � TRISH Do you want to meet early and go over talking points? MECCA Yeah, yeah, work would be good. � TRISH If he pressures you clam up, I'll take over. MECCA Got it. Got it. TRISH How you feelin'? MECCA Every night I remind myself that I love Damien and every morning I congratulate myself for not leaving in the middle of the night. ANGELA Ah, OMG, what are the odds? MECCA It gets pretty slim, but here you are. ANGELA Okay, so I've been meaning to try this place, but this must be serendipity, okay? Because, look, I-I didn't love how we left things yesterday, so I'm, I'm really glad that I get another chance. Oh, excuse me. Hi, um. Let me get, oh, one of those, uh, virgin mojitos. Thanks. And, uh, more bread. Do you mind? TRISH Angela? ANGELA Mm? TRISH Um, we're actually in a business meeting. ANGELA Mm.Is this about your empowerment luncheon? Oh, I saw you post about it on your story, so. TRISH Uh, no, we are meeting with the producer of Mecca's show. ANGELA Oh, Trophy Wives. Gosh, you know, you are so classy on there. Mm hmm. Mm. So, will Tara be at the luncheon? I, I really want to meet her. She seems fun. MECCA Tara is super fun. Unfortunately, there's a guest list. ANGELA Oh, there's always extra food at these things, you'll barely notice, little old me. Although, I suppose I am eating for two these days. MECCA Yeah, it's just that this is my job. ANGELA Hosting parties? Hmm.Sounds like a fun job. Way less tiring than wrangling preschool kids all day, let me tell you. You know, I had to take maternity leave early because I just couldn't keep up with them in my condition. MECCA Oh, I bet. TRISH You know, in your condition, you probably have nothing to wear to the luncheon. Mm, I would be happy to connect you with my girl. ANGELA Mm hmm. TRISH Her shop is nearby. Yeah. You know what? You could go by there right now and pick something out. ANGELA Right now? TRISH Yes. Yes. You're gonna love it. ANGELA Okay. TRISH She did Kylie's pregnancy. ANGELA Oh, wow. TRISH Come on. Come on, hon. You could be just fine. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Come on, let's go, quickly. So we can get you pick. AARON Finally, you grace me with your presence. You act like I don't have a show to produce with all this rescheduling. AARON Who's your friend? MECCA Oh, uh, she's just an old friend from modeling. Yeah. AARON Is Trish joining us? MECCA She's just taking a quick call. So the crew will be filming my event and Tara and that girl that she's always fighting are both invited per your request, so I'm sure something juicy will pop off. AARON Well, that is Tara's story line, dear. We're here to talk about yours. MECCA My husband took Jalen Cross under his wing last year because he wants to clean up his playboy image. He'll be in attendance because Damien wants to set him up with a nice girl. AARON And you are going to personally set him up with someone? MECCA Yes, I am. AARON And Jalen has agreed to discuss his love life on camera? MECCA Well, no. AARON Mecca, I don't think you understand the gravity of the situation. My bosses are planning on replacing you. MECCA Well. AARON You need to give them a real glimpse into your personal life. Fights, betrayals, secrets. MECCA I don't need a scandal to entertain the audience. AARON The numbers beg to differ. You know, Tara trended off the charts because of her feud with that hockey girlfriend. And you, you trended for a second because people couldn't stop talking about that, that one wig. MECCA Okay, well, what do you want me to do? Manufacture a feud with one of the other football Wives? AARON Yeah, maybe. If it means I'm up for a promotion and gets me off the chopping block for when the new CEO comes in. Look, I'm not the only one in danger. I hear that Devin James' fianc�e is sniffing around for a spot on the show. MECCA Damien and I are trying to start a family. AARON Weak sauce. Give me something juicy. Maybe we should just wait till Trisha's back. She always sees reason. TRISH This investigation run quickly and discreetly. MECCA Uh, we haven't been s-successful. Because I, because I suspect Damien has been cheating on me. AARON Please tell me more. � TRISH Joss, this can't be serious! JOSS ON PHONE Good evening to you, too, Trish. TRISH Uh, so much for the hometown girl who just wants what's best for her baby. She is trying to fleece Damien. JOSS It turns out when she said she was open to primary custody, she meant she wanted primary custody and for them to pay for her lifestyle. TRISH What kills me is that three weeks ago, we didn't even know who this girl was. Now she's trying to come up off them. JOSS Has the private investigator gotten back to you with that background check? TRISH Not yet. JOSS Well, let me know when he does. We can use any ammunition we can find. TRISH Will do. Hello? Sneaky bitch. MECCA Trish just texted me that she's not coming. SAMMY You'll be fine. You have event coordinators. What do you need Trish for? ANGELA Mecca. Hi. SAMMY Oh, here we go. ANGELA Thank you so much for inviting me. This is wow, this is beautiful. We don't do stuff like this back home in Safety Harbor. MECCA Happy to have you. Angela, this is Sammy. SAMMY So nice to meet you. ANGELA You, too. Okay, I love your dress. SAMMY Oh, thank you. ANGELA Mine's new, Trish set it up for me. But, kind of a shame it's a maternity dress. But maybe I can take it in once I have my little gift from God. Speaking of bambinos, I noticed there aren't any kids here. MECCA It's a child free event. ANGELA Oh, wait, so all of these people have to get childcare just to be here? SAMMY Oh, well, my husband is home with the kids. ANGELA Gosh, isn't it hard without a live-in nanny? I mean, especially with your husband's company. It probably takes so much of his time. SAMMY Oh, well, aren't you well researched? ANGELA I've I've seen the show. You know. Mecca, once our baby gets here we'll have to start having childcare at these things. I can't even imagine being away from her for so long. SAMMY Her? ANGELA I asked to be surprised. So doc only uses gender neutral terms, but I do have a feeling. � ANGELA I'm so scared too. � MECCA Excuse me. ANGELA I do like it. SAMMY Oh, thank you. MECCA Can we set something up for Ms. Wright to rest? You probably want to get off your feet. ANGELA You're so thoughtful. Oh, bye. SAMMY Bye. MECCA Oh, Angela.just in case anybody asks how we know each other, could you just ANGELA I'm an old friend reconnecting after a few years. SAMMY Well, she seems, uh, sweet. MECCA She does, doesn't she? � SAMMY But you don't think so? MECCA I messed up, Sammy. I told Aaron that I think Damien cheated on me. SAMMY Why would you do that? MECCA He was talking about replacing me and I just SAMMY Okay, okay, I mean, maybe it's not that bad. I mean it's not like there's proof that he cheated. MECCA Except for the baby that's growing in that woman's belly. Sammy, what're we gonna do? SAMMY What does Damien think? MECCA What he think? I haven't told him yet. SAMMY Mecca. MECCA I know. And for some reason, he thinks that we're gonna get full custody of that child. Now, you tell me if that sounded like a woman that's willing to give up full custody of her child. SAMMY Do you even want full custody? MECCA I keep thinking about what the baby's gonna look like. I mean, obviously it's not gonna look like me, but.probably won't even look like Damien. SAMMY Yeah, no shit. MECCA Yeah, so how am I supposed to get past any of this with a constant reminder of my husband's infidelity in my own home? SAMMY Have you told Damien any of that? TARA Hi, beautiful. MECCA I gotta go. I'll be back. � TARA Look at you. Oh, Mecca, stop it, stop it. � TARA Hey! AARON Just, just a moment. So, I pitched the infidelity story-line to the big bosses and they loved it. I wanna get footage of you, okay? He's definitely coming, right? We can flashback to it when we're filming a confrontation scene, right? You're looking at him, he's looking at another women kind of thing, you know? MECCA I don't, um, I haven't spoken to him yet. AARON Well, get on it, sweetheart. We got a show to produce. All right, let's get a close up. � SAMMY Oh, excellent timing. DAMIEN Yeah, we saw them come in and waited till they were rolling to sneak in. SAMMY Smart. I think, uh, Mecca could use some support. � DAMIEN Got it. JALEN Okay. SAMMY I think she's stressed because that woman's here. JALEN Which? The mother-of-the-child lady? That woman? SAMMY She's sitting over.she's around here somewhere. JALEN Woah, wait, hold on, hold on. Hello there. SAMMY She's around here somewhere. DAMIEN Angela? There isn't supposed to be anyone in here. DAMIEN You all right? Something wrong? ANGELA I'm sorry, it's just pregnancy hormones, I. cry all the time now. DAMIEN Well, it's the first time I'm seeing you cry. ANGELA I just.I never really had a good relationship with my mom. Always put her career goals ahead of being a mother, and I just. I wanted to be different. I guess just seeing this is. it's bringing all that back up, so. DAMIEN Well, I'm sure you'll make a great mom. DAMIEN You're not alone. This baby's not alone. You both got me. ANGELA Yeah. For now. DAMIEN No, that's my kid, too You're stuck with me. DAMIEN I have to admit, though. I don't remember meeting you. ANGELA Yeah, I'm, uh. I'm not surprised. You were, you were really drunk. E-everyone was. DAMIEN So we met at the game? ANGELA One of your players invited us to VIP at the club. And we took the party back to the hotel. To Wiltmore, I think it was. I can't go back out there. My makeup's probably ruined. I already feel like enough of a fat cow these days. DAMIEN Well, I can call you a taxi home. ANGELA Can you give me a ride? ANGELA I live in a walk up, and taxi drivers are rarely willing to help me up the steps. DAMIEN All right. Yeah, let's make it fast. ANGELA Okay. MECCA You missed the rest of my luncheon. DAMIEN Yeah, I got to Angela's home and I realized she ain't got no food in the house And she doesn't have no friends either to help her out, so.I set some things up for her, you know. MECCA I see. � DAMIEN You upset? MECCA Did you expect me not to be? DAMIEN You have to trust me, Mecca. MECCA I mean, I want to, but. I don't trust that girl as far as I can throw her. DAMIEN You jealous? � MECCA You think you're funny? DAMIEN You know I don't want her. MECCA I mean, I know that, but does she know that? DAMIEN What you think she gonna do? Mm? MECCA There are lots of ways that a white woman could hurt you. DAMIEN But I got you looking after me. Don't I? � MECCA Of course. DAMIEN So again. what could she possibly do to us? We're unstoppable. DAMIEN Hello. What's up, Angela? I'll be right there. Gotta go. MECCA Damien. � MECCA Your clothes. ANGELA Sorry, I have so much stuff. I-I just wanted to be prepared. But I do always over-pack. Sorry. DAMIEN Yeah, it's all good. Angela's gonna stay with us for. a while. MECCA I'm sorry, what? DAMIEN Uh, contractions were a false alarm this time, but. MECCA False contractions? ANGELA Mm hmm. DAMIEN Well, the doctor thinks it's safer for Angela to stay somewhere she has support with fewer stairs. ANGELA Mm-hmm Thank you so much for opening up your home to me. DAMIEN It's just until she gives birth. Maybe just a couple of weeks. MECCA And if I say no? DAMIEN Then we have a problem. MECCA Hmm. � MECCA You and Damien have been getting pretty close, huh? � ANGELA Yeah. Yeah, he's been helping me out a lot. It's nice being someone's priority for once. Is there a problem? MECCA Depends on what you really want. Because from my perspective, it seems like you want my husband. � ANGELA Of course. not. I'm not that kind of a girl. MECCA Hmm. Let me make something very clear to you. Damien married me without a prenup. Because he loves me. He'll never leave me. So if you think this is about to be some sister wife situation, let me assure you, it will not. ANGELA Look, Mecca, you have such a beautiful life. You've got the house, the husband, the fame. But I can see why you'd still be threatened by little old me. You know, with this pregnancy I've really been coming into my maternal instincts. And I know that's something you struggle with. MECCA Damien's my husband. And I'm not going anywhere. ANGELA Despite all your effort you still couldn't give him a child. Suppose we all can't excel at everything. � DAMIEN What happened? MECCA You told Angela about our infertility issues? DAMIEN Now hold up a second. The only thing I ever said was that we wanted a family. MECCA Then how does she know, Damien? DAMIEN What exactly did she say? MECCA That I couldn't give you a child.despite all of my efforts. DAMIEN Don't let it get to you, baby. Look, listen, why don't we take a trip? Just for a few days, just you and me. No football, no pregnancy, and definitely no TV show. I'll tell Trish to check in on Angela. MECCA Just a few days in Cabo sounds perfect. DAMIEN Cabo it is. MECCA Dame, did you grab our passports out of the safe? Dame? ANGELA Have fun. DAMIEN You sure you'll be all right for a few days? ANGELA Oh, I'll be fine. I'm okay. Trish didn't text me back, but call her if you need anything. ANGELA Okay. MECCA Babe, did you grab our passports? DAMIEN They're on the dresser. MECCA No, they're not. ANGELA You know, lately, I've been forgetting where I've been putting things as well. Must be that pregnancy brain they warn you about. MECCA I guess I'll check again. ANGELA What happens if she doesn't find your passport? DAMIEN Oh, she will. ANGELA Yeah, but what if she doesn't? MECCA I couldn't find the passports. I must have given them to Trish to fill up some paperwork. I'll swing by her place. I'll text you when I have them. ANGELA Bye. MECCA Trish.it's Mecca. MECCA I'm coming in. � MECCA Oh! Trish? � MECCA Uh. Trish? Hello? Trish? Trish? Trish! Wake up. Trish. Trish. Trish? No, no no! No, no, no, no, no! Wake up, wake up. It's me, Trish! Trish! Trish! � ANGELA Sorry to hear about your friend. She seemed nice. MECCA She wasn't. DAMIEN Thanks for your condolences. ANGELA Of course. If either of you need anything, I would MECCA We'll call a friend. DAMIEN Uh, she's had a long day. ANGELA All right. DAMIEN Nah, listen. No, it's, it ain't like that. ANGELA What do you mean? I really wanna help, however I can, Dame. Look at me. I know that Mecca is dealing with her own thing right now so don't forget that. I've got you. DAMIEN Yeah, it's, it's been a tough time for her. And with Trish gone. � DAMIEN She's just not thinking straight. Trish always gave her that clarity. � WOMAN ON PHONE Little Tots Daycare, how can I help you? MECCA Hi, I'm interviewing nannies, and one of the candidates listed you as their former employer. Just wanted to know how she was with the kids. Her name is Angela Wright. WOMAN ON PHONE I'm so sorry ma'am, but we don't have any employee record for someone with that name. MECCA That's disappointing. Thanks for your time. � MECCA Joss, we need to pause any negotiations with Angela. JOSS ON PHONE Did you find something out? MECCA She lied about where she used to work. What do we really know about this woman? JOSS Trish had the same questions which is why she hired a PI. MECCA Trish hired a PI? JOSS Well, I don't think he found anything. But the last I heard, she was waiting on an email from him. � MECCA Thanks so much for coming. SAMMY Of course. MECCA I found that hidden in Angela's little gift. It's off, I took out the battery. SAMMY She's been spying on you? MECCA She's also been lying. At least about where she's worked but who knows what else. SAMMY Does Damien know? MECCA You know, I need airtight proof before I can go to him or the police. According to our lawyer, Trish hired a private investigator to look into Angela. SAMMY Okay, so you want me to do what? MECCA Sammy, don't play coy. We both know you're the reason why Terrence played D-1 and got a computer science degree at the same time. I just need you to get into her email. SAMMY Okay. I got you. MECCA Thank you. AARON There he is! My man! DAMIEN Aaron, what can I do for you? AARON Oh, well, I uh.just in your books, I checked in with your assistant. DAMIEN Oh, yeah? So Mackenzie put you on my schedule? DAMIEN I got a lot going, man. AARON Uh, are you sure? I just wanted to get your side of the cheating story. And see how much you're comfortable sharing on TV. DAMIEN The what story? AARON Oh, Mecca's story-line. About you two having trouble starting a family. due to the cheating. DAMIEN Did Mecca say that? AARON Yeah. DAMIEN Not today. AARON Okay, uh, I'll just reschedule with Mackenzie then. DAMIEN Goodbye, Aaron. AARON I'll show myself out. DAMIEN You do that. � SAMMY So with all the personal information you know about Trish it actually didn't take long for my program to guess her password. MECCA Is that even legal? SAMMY Not even kind of. There's nothing here. MECCA Th-th-that, that can't be. SAMMY Aside from clients reaching out to her. there's nothing strange here. Emails from brands. Emails from clients. Emails from the lawyer. But nothing from a PI. MECCA Check the trash. SAMMY Hmm.there it is. Someone must've had access to the inbox in order to trash this. MECCA Maybe they did.when they were in her house. SAMMY Angela Zimmerman. MECCA This says she's from here. This bitch said she was from a small town in Florida. Wait, wait, stop. Go back. SAMMY What's that? COACH This is what the boys are up to at the club? MACKENZIE Oh, that's nothing, check this out. � COACH Not a great look, coach. � DAMIEN What the hell is this? MACKENZIE I swear, it's just a little joke. DAMIEN Where? MACKENZIE Tampa, after the game. You were so wasted, I've had to put you to bed. DAMIEN You put me to bed? MACKENZIE Yeah. You don't remember? DAMIEN Who the hell is Angela? MAN ON PHONE You've reached Wonder Fertility. How can I help you? MECCA Hi, I'm checking references for one of your former employees. MAN ON PHONE Can I have that employee's name? MECCA Angela Zimmerman. MAN ON PHONE Oh, that girl was fired. Total fiasco. MECCA For what? MAN ON PHONE I really shouldn't say. MECCA Look, I get it. I wouldn't want you to risk your job. It's just.I'm considering hiring this woman to be my nanny. To be in my home to care for my kids. I promise they, they won't ever hear from me. MAN ON PHONE Well, the rumor is she was accessing patient files. You did not hear that from me, though, okay? MECCA Of course. Thank you. SAMMY Okay, so I found a couple of social media accounts but they're all. private. DAMIEN Come on, come on, pick up. MECCA ON VOICEMAIL You've reached Mecca Noble, you know what to do. � MECCA ON VOICE MAIL You've reached Mecca Noble. � MECCA ON VOICE MAIL You've reached Mecca Noble, you know what to do. DAMIEN Baby, please call me back right now. I think I remember what happened that night. IFuck. JALEN Coach, coach, I gotta talk to you. DAMIEN Not now, Jalen JALEN Coach, I gotta tell you something. DAMIEN Jalen, not now. JALEN Coach, look! This is my ex, the crazy one from Vegas that stole my watch, remember? DAMIEN Yeah, that's the same girl I told you to break up with. JALEN Wait, coach, this isn't, this isn't the girl that's living with you, is it? DAMIEN Oh, my God. Oh, my God. I gotta get home. JALEN All right, I'm-I'm gonna grab my keys. I'm gonna come with you, okay? � SAMMY Are you sure you don't want to come home with me? At least until Damien gets home? MECCA I'll be fine. I can out-crazy a bitch any day of the week. SAMMY Please.be safe. MECCA I will, don't worry. I won't do anything until Damien's home. SAMMY Be safe. � ANGELA I just have to know. Did you ever trust me? Or was finding the camera the last straw? MECCA You crazy bitch. ANGELA Now, I don't have a fancy degree like you. But tell me, is it smart to insult a person pointing a loaded gun at you? MECCA I never trusted you. ANGELA Too bad. We would have made a beautiful family. Drink it. MECCA So this is your plan? Force me to drink poison and fake a suicide? You're gonna have to shoot me. ANGELA I can work with that. � ANGELA Oh, you bitch! DAMIEN Pick up. Come on. Jalen! DAMIEN Jalen. DAMIEN Come on, man. MECCA Aaron! Aaron! Thank God! Thank God! This bitch is crazy, she's trying to kill me! AARON What happened? MECCA She tried to kill me. She's nuts, she has a gun, we got to get out of here. We got to get out of here. AARON This is an even greater story line than I could've ever imagined. ANGELA I told you it would be. Take this will you, sweetheart? AARON Of course. ANGELA God damn it, you're fast. � AARON Oh, worst luck of my life being saddled up with you in your charitable galas until Angela. ANGELA We actually met at a barbecue you threw last year. Raising money for autism, you remember? Aaron looked so bored producing it. AARON I was MECCA You were there? ANGELA With Jalen. AARON You know, I have to admit, "NFL player's former girlfriend being knocked up by a married coach" is a pretty epic story-line. AARON The type to get me my own show. ANGELA Yeah. MECCA I don't think the phrase knocked up applies when you inseminate yourself with sperm you stole from a fertility clinic. AARON Is that true? ANGELA I am carrying Damien Noble's baby. Half him, half me. What difference does it make how it happened? MECCA The difference is a felony, sweetheart. ANGELA And what about Damien's crimes? I would still have my baby if it wasn't for him. He told Jalen to end things with me when I got pregnant. MECCA Damien would never do that. ANGELA Damien put him up to it! DAMIEN No he didn't. ANGELA He took my baby! So I took his. MECCA You're insane. ANGELA I wanted to seduce him the old fashioned way. � MECCA I know how you did it. ANGELA Wasn't really that hard to find out what fertility clinic you were at. All I had to do was get access to the cold storage a little turkey baster, and.well. AARON Oh, you are crazy. ANGELA Hmm, but that won't be the official story. I'll call 911 once we shoot Mecca. Claim it with self defense. And then you'll release the exclusive footage from my camera that proves just how jealous she is of me and Damien's special bond. And then I will get your spot on Trophy Wives. I'll do a better job with your life. than you ever could. Aaron. shoot her. No! No! Don't do anything I would do. MECCA Okay, then calm down! ANGELA Put down the gun. I am not afraid to take everyone down with me. MECCA Including your own baby? ANGELA No! No! No,no! No MECCA Kid's got great timing. � ANGELA This isn't over. MECCA Yes, it is. � DAMIEN Mecca! � DAMIEN Angela, what the heck? Mecca! MECCA Damien, I'm fine, I'm fine. I'm fine. DAMIEN All right, you hurt? MECCA Your baby mama shot me. DAMIEN What? MECCA Yeah, with her little minion Aaron. DAMIEN What? Aaron. L-look, okay. She's not my baby mama. She must have altered the DNA test because I never slept with her.or anyone. MECCA Well, that baby is yours. It's the mother that's certifiable. Dame, she worked at our fertility clinic. She impregnated herself. DAMIEN Why would she do that? MECCA Revenge. Did you ever tell Jalen to break up with his girlfriend after she got pregnant? DAMIEN What? Jalen got his girlfriend pregnant? MECCA Yeah. DAMIEN I told Jalen to break up with his girlfriend because I found him unconscious in a Vegas hotel room without a Rolex. MECCA Oh. DAMIEN I would have told him to man up had I known he fathered a child. MECCA I believe you. You're the only one in all of this who never lied. � MECCA Okay. I'll let him know. Bye, Joss. DAMIEN Ah, dada! � DAMIEN That's my little girl. You like the bear? That's my girl. my girl! MECCA Who's that? Who's that? That woman's sentencing hearing is coming up and Joss wants us to write victim impact statements. MECCA Jalen's writing one, too. DAMIEN When will we be rid of her? MECCA He promises this is the last thing. DAMIEN Yeah, sure hope so. Oh, I gotta go pick up the cake before my mama's plane lands. Yeah. MECCA Hi, sweetie. Hi. You want cake? � MECCA Yeah. Who's a birthday girl? Okay, let's read some of your cards. Wow. "Happy first trip around the sun. See you soon. � MECCA mommy.
