Daytime Divas

Previously on Daytime Divas...

You really think someone should get away with murder

just because they're rich and famous.

My mom is lying to me about something important.

- This thing is not going away. - No, it's not.

It's getting way too close.

Why did Maxine wanna get rid of you?

I have evidence that she murdered her husband.

I spoke to Anna Crouse. She told me that you killed Ted.

Nina, darling, if you wanna continue

meddling in my business, go ahead. But be forewarned

when they go low, I go lower.

My son is a, a trans. Ella.

If you can't accept our child, then I can't accept you.

You better watch out, unless you want me to tell everyone

how you really kept your job on "Lacey," slut.

I just landed a lead role in a major sitcom.

He has this new family show. I was talking to him about Tandy.

- Kibby, it's your space dad! - There's my girl.

I'll go public with everything.

Do you really expect people to believe you?

It is time to introduce America

to Vance's daughter, Tandy Ainsley!

What?

- Huh? - No!

I'm not gonna let you get away with this.

- Ah! - Oh, something's not right.

- How bad is it? - Oh, it's bad.

Oh, my baby!

Kib, are you out of your mind?

- Frigging crazy. - Sit down.

My ass. You shot my ass!

Well, good, everyone's okay.

Now, are you opposed to gun control, Heather?

Guns don't just go off by themselves.

It takes an unstable person to pull the trigger.

Oh, my God. I stopped a massacre.

I'm a hero.

Ugh. Ramona, be a real hero and get me my lunch.

Oh.

Everyone, Kibby merely fired a prop gun.

My bag doesn't have a prop bullet through it!

Uh, yes, it does because a prop gun

accidently went off during the rehearsal

of Heather's rootin'-tootin' cowboy picnic.

- Oh, we're doing it? - No, we're not.

Uh, Ramona, take Kibby to my office.

Drunky, you owe me a new bag!

He hates you. You ruined everything, you know that?

- Please, don't be mad at me. - Kibby.

I hope you get the help you need.

You're the one who needs help, you sicko!

Ramona, get her out of here!

And I'm still waiting for my chopped salad.

You already ate it!

Oh, for God's sake, Kibby, you went on air wasted

and then you fired a gun.

I have to keep that creep away from Tandy.

But you don't do it with a gun!

No one was listening to me! Everyone thinks

Vance is a super-good guy.

And he's dangerous, he's gonna hurt her.

What are you talking about?

He does this thing

where he makes you feel beautiful and special

and the whole time he's separating you from your family

and the next thing you know, you can't do anything without him.

He's like your whole world.

Kibby... did he?

He waited until I was legal, so...

And by then I was already in what I thought was love.

Oh, my God.

At least I was high the whole time.

If there's one thing Vance Gordon is good for

he always has the best drugs.

"Happy 15th birthday. Here's your first bump of coke."

Where was your mother in all this?

He paid her off to keep her quiet.

- Everyone at least he knew to. - And did nothing?

Because he was making them money.

Kibby, I will take care of you and Tandy.

I promise.

You need to take care of your sobriety. Okay?

She's jealous. She can't stand the fact

that Tandy is working with Vance now.

She has been obsessed with me for years.

It's sad. I mean, and now she's delusional.

Well, she seems pretty convinced.

She's a drug addict.

It's genetic on her father's side.

But Kibby needs our compassion right now.

Kibby, Kibby, Kibby.

Bitch murdered my crocodile.

Kibby. I don't give a about Kibby!

Hey, Maxine! Hey, so that's it?

The party line is a prop gun went off?

We're just gonna pretend like nothing

happened between Kibby and Vance?

- I'm taking care of it, Nina. - What are you taking care of?

Kibby, or your precious show?

Because we all know you're really good

at sweeping criminal acts under the rug.

I have no idea what you're talking about.

Your dearly departed husband, Ted.

Nina, be careful.

- I always am. - Really?

Because I've been learning a lot about the loose ends

in your charmed life.

Okay, Principal Freewoman, calm down.

I come bearing no weapons, only a tiara.

Yes, I need to speak with you about that.

Oh, I would love that.

After the day I've had, nothing makes me happier

than beauty pageant rehearsal with the kids.

There's been some parental concern

that a pageant promotes and encodes

a standard of beauty as defined by a patriarchal society.

Yes!

We find that offensive and detrimental

to the students' self-esteem.

The pageant is cancelled.

Isn't that sweet?

A agave icing on the dairy-free cake.

First they come after my gun, and I did nothing.

Now, they're coming after my pageant...

It goes against everything

that Crossroads Academy stands for.

Oh?

Your mission statement

clearly says "Honor the child."

My Ella begged for a beauty pageant, so if you deny her this

you're denying the dreams of a transgender child.

You're playing the trans card?

If you've got it, flaunt it.

Fine, but there'll be no finalists

no winners, no losers.

T-there has to be a winner. We're crowning a Ms. Crossroad.

No genders. All shapes, all sizes.

Well, can there at least be a tiara?

As long as there's one for everybody.

Fine, but it's not my fault

if one happens to be bigger than the others.

Hey, this doesn't make any sense.

Anna maybe a loon, but she is a good journalist.

She says she had definitive evidence

and nothing in this box

points to your mother killing Ted.

And I think that's because William did it.

- What? - Look, my-my mom and William.

They lied about how long they've been together.

And maybe it's because he killed Ted

and they don't want anyone to even suspect he was there.

Well, that's an interesting theory.

Look, Ted was a bastard.

Half the time he was a complete prick to my mom

and all she would do was just make up excuses for him.

That doesn't sound like your mother.

She loved him so much, she'd do anything for him.

And I refuse to let that happen with William.

She's not taking the fall for him.

Shawn, I promise you

I'm gonna find out what happened.

And if Anna has definitive evidence

then I will pry it out of her big grubby hands.

How's your busted booty?

It's been better.

But I know you didn't come all the way up here

just to give me a get-well basket.

Well, then I'll take it back.

Look, I know what Kibby did was irresponsible and dangerous

and, yeah, a bit nuts, but it wasn't random.

- Oh, well, that's comforting. - We know Kibby needs help.

But, it was a reaction to Vance Gordon.

You need to fire him from "In A Pinch."

He should not be around young women.

- Yeah, we've heard the rumors. - You know?

And you're letting that pig on set with Tandy?

He's a grabby guy, so is the one in the White House.

Vance coerced Kibby into a relationship.

He said, she said. Look, who are you gonna believe?

The hot mess or the star with a squeaky-clean image?

I am sticking with that hot mess.

Fine. We'll keep an eye on him, okay?

But Vance Gordon is a big get for this network

and I am not going to fire him.

There is, however, someone you need to fire.

Jason really has me up against the wall.

Same corporate bullshit, legal liability.

Vance could sue for defamation of character

and you, my dear, you are uninsurable.

Yeah, 'cause I'm the dangerous one.

I know. It's not fair.

- Of course, no one believes me. - Yet.

I'm not done. I'm gonna get them to believe you.

Why? The truth doesn't set you free.

It just brands you a liar.

I am not gonna listen to any of this kind of talk.

Your job is to trust me

and to stay sober.

Kibby is off the show for good?
