And he had this way of taking

care of me without me knowing it.

Do you hear yourself?

Um, it's the voice of a woman

who's completely in love with Marc.

He quit? Just like that?

He mentioned something about going
off the grid for a while.

Previously on "Mistresses"...

[Exhales sharply]

I love you, April.

♪ ♪



I'm pregnant.

What?!

- Who?
- Alec. And Vivian.

This baby is the universe

showing us that we're supposed
to all be together.

Vivian!

[Siren wails]

♪ ♪

[Gasping]

What if I got Luca in bed long enough

for us to catch it on camera?

Calista: You're one twisted sister.

[Gasps] Oh, my God!

Libby: You are under arrest for
the murder of Luca Raines.



David: Being charged with co-conspiracy.

They think you did it together.

I killed my husband alone.

She cared about you, apparently.

Joss: Calista sent me a gift basket.

That's not possible. She's in prison.

I know how it sounds, detective.

I think that the real
killer may still be out there.

Pack your bags, baby.
You're gonna cook on the continent.

Damn it, Joss, where are
you? They're ready to take off.

Hello?

Hello? Is anyone here?

Just get on the next flight, okay?

Oh, my God, Calista?!

Wilson?

Wilson: Where you going, lovely?

I definitely felt my life was in danger.

And I knew I didn't have much time.

And did he seem
mentally impaired in any way?

Man: Objection. Calls for speculation.

Overruled. You can answer.

Did he seem insane?

Other than the
outfit and the terrible wig,

absolutely not.

Wilson knew exactly what he was doing...

even in the way he
detailed why he killed Luca Raines,

it was very matter-of-fact.

He wanted revenge on
Calista for firing him

and ending the affair,
and he also hated Luca,

which is why he was trying
to frame her for the murder.

Your honor!

Miss Carver, please.

Just answer the questions asked of you.

Sorry. [Breathes deeply]

No, he did not seem like a crazy person.

♪ ♪

[Grunts]

[Panting]

He told me that I was collateral damage

and that he never meant for me

to be caught in the middle of all this.

And that's when he let you go.

[Panting]

Basically, yes.

Thank you, Miss Carver.

[Indistinct conversations]

How was it to be face-to-face
with Wilson Corvo again?

Did he hurt you that night?

Do you have any statement?

- Listen, buddy, I...
- Excuse me.

- Ohh.
- Sorry.

- Hi.
- Hi.

So, how did it go?

Um, I think it went well.

We're so proud of you for doing this.

Though we wish we could
have been there for you.

Oh, I know. Thank you for even coming.

You didn't need to.

Of course we did. So, how do you feel?

I'm... I'm fine. Good.

You should celebrate.

Mm, let's wait for a verdict first.

Still, it's been a rough year.

You should at least take a moment.

You guys, I'm fine. I
swear. I don't need a moment.

I could use a drink, though.

- [Laughs]
- Let's go.

[Both chuckle]

[Footsteps depart]

[Birds chirping]

Oh, man, get a room!

We have a room. It's
just not furnished yet.

You all ready?

Yep, Peyton just texted me.

Her mom's gonna be here in a second

to get us to the school, to
the bus, to the airport.

Oh, boy. [Sighs]

What?

I'm just... proud of you, sweetheart.

Going to a leadership conference

by yourself in the state capital.

Sacramento, Mom, not a year in Spain.

I'll be back in two days.

[Horn honks]

Okay. If you need anything, call me.

- Okay.
- When you land, call me.

- When you go to sleep...
- Call her.

She gets it, April.

Thank you.

- [Door closes]
- [Sighs] Well...

There she goes. That's it.

She's in ninth grade, April.

She's got three more
years of high school.

She's not going anywhere.

But it's there, right in front of me...

a big fat nest of emptiness.

I think you're going
a little off the rails.

Look at the bright side.

While Lucy's up in Sacramento

learning about whatever
it is they do up there,

you and I... have the
place to ourselves.

Hmm.

So you think we should
christen the new bedroom?

I'm thinking maybe we should.

Mm-hmm.

"Passion can come in many
forms, many varieties.

The first time I felt this passion,

it was as if a wild animal
inside me had been released.

When I met Charlie,

I had no idea how much he
would change my life."

Is this weird... that I'm
reading this out loud to you?

I've only known you for a week.

No, no, no. It's... it's totally normal.

You don't want to go in there cold.

Hey, I'm an actor. I get it.

You got to
rehearse. This is a rehearsal.

[Sighs] Oh, I know.

I'm just so nervous about this event.

I've never done anything like it before.

- Come on. Come on.
- [Sighing] Okay.

"How much he would
awaken this desire in me,

a desire that had always been there."

Whoa!

Whoa, Robert. What are you doing?

Uh, I... I don't know.

You're... you're my nanny.

Uh...

This couldn't be more inappropriate.

Yeah, I-I-I'm... I'm sorry. I...

I just thought, uh...

That I wanted you to kiss me?

Why?

[Vivian cries]

Oh. I'll get her.

No, no, no, no. Please,
I'll... I'll get her.

It's my job. At least let me do my job.

[Crying continues]

Ohh.

Mnh-mnh. No.

Hello?

You're not gonna
believe what just happened.

What is it?

What is it?

- Oh, God.
- Is the baby okay?

- [Vivian fussing]
- Here she comes!

Oh, crap, got to go. The baby's fine.

Talk to you later, bye.

How's my little girl? Come here.

[Gasps]

[Fusses]

Ohh. Thank you.

Oh, my God.

It's okay. It's okay.

It's okay.

[Clears throat]

Have you seen my guitar?

Tommy should be here
in, like, 15 minutes.

Um, I think it's in the
kitchen, next to the microwave.

- Which one's Tommy?
- [Chuckles]

The kid who's great at
picking his nose but not the guitar.

Look, if you want to
stop giving lessons,

we moved into a smaller, cheaper
place for a reason.

No, absolutely not. I got
to pay my share of rent.

That's why I'm doing all these jobs.

Well, once you start school,
you're done with all of that.

We have a plan.

Yeah, I know.

But you realize
getting this counseling degree

is gonna take some
time... with no income coming in.

I know, and I'm fine with it.

I'm just proud you're gonna
turn a rough period

in your life into something positive.

Well, hey, if I can't drink,

I might as well talk to other people

about their drinking, right?

You know, to help them, obviously.

In the meantime, what do you think

about turning the back
room into a kind of music room?

[Cellphone chimes, vibrates]

Oh, do not check Lucy's Instagram.

She hasn't taken off yet.

Exactly!

Who knows what she's
doing in the airport?

[Cellphone rings, vibrates]

Hello?

[Indistinct voice]

I'll be right there.

Did you check the
invoice before you left?

Did I really order 800 candles?

That's what the form said.

I figured maybe candles
were just selling really well.

- [Bells jingle]
- [Scoffs]

You go with your people. I am on it.

Don't you worry.

Okay. What was going
on when you called me?

You sounded like you were freaking out.

- Oh, she slept with her manny.
- What?!

I did not.

[Snorts] Okay, what? She
didn't sleep with the manny.

But it's a way better story
than she almo slept with her manny.

I didn't do that, either.

He tried to kiss me. I didn't let him.

That's all that happened.

Okay, hold on.

First question is, when
did you get a manny?

What happened to Charlotte?

- She wasn't working out. Ohh.
- Karen!

Vivian is four months
old, and you've already had

three nannies who "haven't worked out."

Who are you waiting for, Mary Poppins?

Not when she's got this guy.

This is Robert. He's an actor.

He's cute.

This is a terrible idea.

I'm not gonna lie, he's hot.

So you think I should fire
him? Because I don't want to.

Because he's the best
one I've had so far,

not because he's... hot.

Well, so then don't fire him.

But probably don't have
sex with him, either.

Oh, I'm not going to.

It's not like he's done
anything like that before.

Oh, I bet it would
have been really good.

I'm sorry. I'm haven't
had sex in months, okay?

Not since I met up with Harry in Milan.

Is he ever coming home?

Yes. Actually, next week.

I know! Um, thank God!

I have a million things to tell him.

But he knows what's going
on in the trial, right?

Yeah, yeah, yeah, of course.

It's just... it's gonna be so
much better in person, you know?

The long-distance
thing has been okay, but...

FaceTiming is not as
good as actual face time.

I want him home.

It's like an echo chamber down there.

But look how productive
you were while he was gone.

Your little party-planning
thing is now a real P.R. business.

Yeah, she's right.

You've bn so focused on
this. It's impressive.

It's like I'm a grownup or something.

[Chuckles]

So, is the book-reading still
happening this weekend?

Um, it is on like Donkey
Kong, Miss Karen Kim,

author/sex therapist.

And, listen to me, I'm
trying to get Barbara Rutledge

to come and hear you, okay?

- Who?
- What?!

She's one of the
biggest literary agents around.

It... If she takes you on as a client,

you're basically
guaranteed a second book, Karen.

Great. Even more reason to be nervous.

I'm sure Calista
Raines will be thrilled.

- Have you spoken?

Only a few times since she
got out of the hospital.

I wanted to thank
you for your testimony.

It really helped.

I'm just glad he got what he deserved.

Me too.

But you've been through a lot, Joss...

from finding a dead body

Have you considered
talking to someone, a professional?

Reliving it can be difficult.

Yeah, I-I don't know

but I'm... I'm really
just glad it's all over.

Now I can get on with my life.

I'm just saying, I've seen people

So, what did you say when Marc told you?

Nothing, I just

since Jeremy was right there.

I thought his name was Jonah.

My boyfriend blows
off the idea of school

to try and join a band,

and you're focused on the
name of his strange friend?

I mean, we just moved in together,

and he is making unilateral decisions.

Instead of making weird,
smiley, clenched-teeth faces,

maybe you should talk to him.

just seems so excited.

didn't tell us. Come here.

She did not know. In
fact, she almost had me arrested

for scaring the crap out of her.

someone giving some book

find the right Barbara.

Made no sense to me.

okay to you?

Yeah, she seems fine.

But I did just get back last night. Why?

We think she seems a little too fine.

There was no way she
wasn't affected by the trial...

anyone would be.

names of therapists,

wasn't really speaking to me.

It wasn't speaking to you?

April, you've known
who I am for a year now.

All right, I'm not some
guy with a 9:00 to 5:00.

I've always had bigger
dreams for myself.

See...

this is what I was worried
about when we moved in together.

And what exactly is that?

That I'd end up busting
my ass in the store...

9:00 to 7:00, by the
way, while you played around.

I'm not playing around. Come on.

You can't blame a guy for following
his passion, can you?

No, but at some point, you
also need to be responsible.

I am responsible.

But I also need to be
happy... we both do.

What's the point of being responsible
if you're miserable?

Well, not everything can be so easy!

This is a relationship with two people,

and I just don't want
to be the only adult.

We did have a plan.

Man, what is up with you lately?

First, you're freaking
out about Lucy going away,

and now you can't stop talking

about the plan like
we signed a contract!

That's not true. I am
just trying to explain

that there are
dreams and there's reality.

Oh, so you think the band's a
dumb idea and that I'm gonna fail?

I didn't say that.

No, you didn't, but you're
making it pretty clear you think it.

Barbara Rutledge, Dr. Karen Kim.

Nice to meet you.

I actually didn't know you were coming.

Well, I wasn't planning on it.

But your P.R. lady
attacked me on the street

and started reading your book out loud,

and I was impressed.

Not with you, with the book.

I can't wait to hear more tonight.

And I also can't wait for you

to get me something alcoholic to drink.

Yes! I'm on it.

Uh, you two, talk, get
to know each other.

Thank you so much for
coming. I really...

Look, I'm not making any promises.

I rep a lot of writers, and
I only sign ones I believe in...

or who can make me a lot of money.

[Camera shutter clicks]

Before I begin, I just wanted
to tell you a little bit

about why I wrote this book.

After my friend passed
away and her husband moved,

I found myself all alone.

I was pregnant and
without the two people

I had spent the last two
years of my life with.

[Breathes deeply]

I was lost.

And...

[Bells jingle]

- [Sighs]
- [Camera shutter clicks]

I was lost and depressed,

and I knew if I didn't get
my feelings out in some way,

they'd just keep building
up until they exploded.

So I wrote.

And wrote some more

and discovered that I liked writing.

And before I knew it, I
had finished the book,

a book that ended up bringing
me back to life.

[Applause]

Okay.

"To be honest with your partner,

you have to be honest with yourself.

Not just about what you
feel, but about what you want."

You okay?

Yeah, yeah, yeah, you just surprised me.

"Because, remember,
if it's your passion,

don't deny yourself...

or your heart."

Listening to Karen talk
about passion and honesty tonight,

I realized that I wasn't mad
at you, I was jealous of you.

What? Why?

Because you have
something you're passionate about,

and I don't know what I have.

I used to be an artist,

and then I had a kid and put it on hold.

And then I had the
store, and that became my life.

daughter's Instagram account
