I really want to have compassion for you without judgment and losing myself, but I'm not really sure how to do that. I know you're hurting, but I'm hurting too. It hurt so much, and I couldn't talk to anyone who didn't know about Jacob, and everyone kept asking me 'Where's Dennis' and 'Why did he leave,' and I just didn't know what to say. Anyway, we both live here, and I don't want to be mad at you anymore, so I forgive you for leaving, and just because I don't trust you know yourself enough right now, not enough to at least be with me, that doesn't mean that I don't still care about you because I do.

Davia

Gael: Listen, all this stuff they're teaching you, it's to make you feel bad about yourself. We all make mistakes. It doesn't mean we're sinners, especially if you own up, and take responsibility, and make it right. You're a good boy. Try to love yourself. Because God made you perfect just the way you are.
Young Gael: Okay. You too.
Gael: OK.

We're having a Coterie baby!

Malika

Since we're all sharing, um, I have something I want to add. I had a son. His name was Jacob, and he died when he was six years old. A few of you already know this, but I mostly kept it to myself because I couldn't deal with talking about it or people feeling sorry for me, but I know that I need to move through all of this, and y'all are like my family. I can't hide anymore.

Dennis

I love you, and I want to be with you, but the truth is, I keep making excuses for you. And that doesn't make me a better person. I can't do this anymore. I'm sorry.

Mariana

Mariana: So, now that we got the funding for Bulk Beauty, what's our next step?
Rachel: As far as we're concerned, our next steps don't include you.

Davia: You are not acting, Dennis. You are just reacting! I can't trust that you fully know what you're capable of, so if you really are back, and you are really ready to stop running from your grief, or from me, or from being happy and whole again, then you are going to have to prove it.
Dennis: How?
Davia: I don't know. But I'm not committing to waiting until you figure it out.

Gael: Hey, I'm sorry. I know you said you don't mind complicated but ...
Callie: I don't. For the right person.

Isaac: Look, I called you to tell you that I'm leaving the country for six months. I got a contract in London, and I was debating whether or not to take it before, but I just think it's what's best for now. Just, I think we need some time and space apart to process things.
Malika: To process what? I'm telling you I want to be with you just us like it was..
Isaac: But it's never going to be like it was, Malika. It's just not.

FBI Agent: And if you're not working with Albert Chen anymore, why are you representing his nephew in a murder trial?
Kathleen: He must've given me a good recommendation.

I asked Callie to represent me with this FBI nonsense for reasons that are none of your business, so don't get your knickers in a knot. I still love all of my children the same, OK?

Kathleen

Mariana: How can they trust you when the truth is you only do the right thing when you're forced to?
Evan: Do you feel that way too?
Mariana: Yeah. They're right.
Evan: OK. I'll settle with them. I'll tell the board immediately.
