Husband, Wife, and Their Lover

Ballard. From our family to yours

for over a hundred years.

Welcome to 10 years ago, Dad.

Baby steps.

Are you still upset

that I wouldn't approve your single mother spot?

I just think it's time to expand a little bit.

Well, good old-fashioned family values.

Are the backbone of Ballard. Yes, I know, Dad.

Mm-hmm. It should be all set for the meeting.

Yes. Thank you.

Bye.

-Veronica. -Yes, Dad?

I was just talking to Donna,

or rather, Donna was talking to me.

And...maybe you're right.

About what?

Loosening things up.

So you wanna do

the single mother spot after all?

Oh. No.

Donna thinks that you should start doing more press

and social media, you know, give the brand

a younger but still very traditional feel.

But I did tell her I don't want this to come at the cost

of you giving me a grandchild.

I told you, Jordan and I are gonna try next year.

You're already 30.

I can still be a mom and a boss or...boss's daughter.

But...

I will do all the social media and press you want.

All right, then. Back to work.

I'm glad you had a good day, honey.

Thank you for keeping my spot warm, Cody.

I'm happy for you. You deserve it.

Although I...

do feel like you have an unfair advantage,

being that you're the only one not afraid of your dad.

Oh, come on, that's not fair.

I'm very afraid of my dad.

How was your day?

Oh, you know,

just like any other day as a junior high school teacher--

drama, terror, insanity.

-Ah. Those kids. -Oh, speaking of kids,

Dad brought it up again.

You didtell him that we're enjoying

our last year of freedom, right?

Mm, he wouldn't really grasp that concept.

He thinks we should've had kids a long time ago.

Well, if we had kids when we first started dating--

I would've been disowned, and you would be castrated.

Oh.

Speaking of our last year of freedom...

Mm-hmm?

I was thinking...

Never mind. Never mind.

No, what?

Come on. I hate when you do this.

-Come on. -Okay.

Well...

What do you think about, uh... branching out a little?

What specifically do you have in mind?

Well, like living on the edge.

I mean, don't you remember that forbidden danger

of our first time?

Yes, having sex at my all-girl private school?

-Mm-hmm. -During school hours?

That was hot.

So you wanna go back to my high school?

Oh, no, no, no.

More like, uh...

-Uh... -Uh, what?

Uh...ooh...

A ménage à trois.

Oh. Um...you mean me and another girl?

Well, um...

Yeah. Yeah. That's, uh...

That's what I would prefer.

Well, I bet you would.

It was just an idea. Just an idea.

You know, since I am turning 30 tomorrow,

tell me. -Mm-hmm.

What's it like?

- Devastating. - Oh.

It's like my youth just disappeared

when I turned the big 3-0.

Funny.

I mean, isn't it forbidden enough

that you're married to an older woman?

Oh, yes.

Living on the edge.

All right. Night, honey.

Good night.

Wow, I don't know what to say.

That's crazy, right?

I mean, it's unexpected, but it's not uncommon.

-Really? -Yeah.

I know a lot of people who have tried a third.

Yeah, well, that's because you're so free-spirited, Lexi.

So you don't think I should be worried?

About what?

About Jordan asking for a threesome.

No. I actually think it speaks a lot

to how much he trusts you as a person.

I mean, it does take a lot to open up about stuff like that.

I've been training you for years now,

and you've never said anything to make me think

that you can'ttrust him.

Guess you're right.

And you've been together for what,

since you were teenagers, right?

Mm-hmm.

Yeah. So you haven't hide the time to, you know,

So...

-So you're for it. -I don't know.

I'm just...not against it.

Maybe I'll offer it to him for his birthday.

Hmm. Yeah, I like it, but just make sure

it's not someone you know together.

-It could get a little awkward. -Yeah, that makes sense.

Ooh, maybe you should pick someone only you know.

I mean, you don't want a rando walking in your house,

and like I said, you're a little famous, so...

-That's a good point. -Yeah.

Lexi...

Yeah?

What about you?

What about me?

Jordan doesn't know you,

and you don't work at the office,

so he can't run into you at any work function,

and you're sexy.

Would it be weird after? I mean...

I don't wanna lose you as a client.

I don't think so, and you don't seem like

the type of person that would be fazed by it.

Some of our stretches are... rather intimate.

Plus we've already seen each other naked in the locker room.

True.

Are you interested?

I just can't believe that you of all people,

this rated G, would do something so NC-17.

It's so...antithetical to your whole persona.

Although for some, those really are just masks

hiding what lurks beneath, which apparently in your case,

is a sex fiend.

Okay, it would only be one night, Gillian.

Oh.

The most appealing part of it all is

that it flies in the face of my good girl image.

-Ballard poster girl. -Exactly.

So it's kind of exciting to break out of my father's mold.

Well...sounds like your little sex-capade

might have some liberating therapeutic value.

I give my blessing.

You nervous?

Yes. Are you?

Completely.

-Lexi. -Oh.

-Hey. -Hey.

-You look beautiful. -Thanks. So do you.

Please.

So, Lexi, this is Jordan, my husband.

Jordan, this is Lexi Wolf.

-It's a pleasure to meet you. -It's nice to meet you.

- So what's good here? - Yeah.

So, yeah, and people would tease me for it.

They used to say that I had a silver cereal spoon

in my mouth.

And they're probably just jealous.

But, Lexi, what about you?

I've never asked you about your childhood.

Mm. It's so normal. It'd bore you to tears.

But I saw you in your interview on TV the other day.

Mnh-mnh.

And she's gonna be on all

the Ballard family commercials soon.

See, I told you you're a celebrity.

Oh, my gosh. Okay, guys. Stop. It's so embarrassing.

Can we please talk about something else?

So...why did you become a trainer?

So I could meet Veronica.

I'm kidding, obviously.

No, actually, I initially, um, studied

to become an actress.

I realized it was such a long shot,

so I dedicated myself to training.

I...love the human body.

It was a fun night.

Yeah.

You still into it?

Well, there was chemistry, wasn't there?

Definitely.

I think it'll be something fun for us to look back on one day.

So are we gonna do it?

Let's do it.

Yeah?

I think we should have a safe word.

What do you mean?
