Restless Beyond The Gates
Martin (Brandon Claybon) and his granddad, Vernon (Clifton Davis), arrived at the Dupree estate after golfing with kids. They discussed Dani hitting Hayley. Vernon didn’t think it was good to resort to violence, but Martin told him that some people needed to be hit.
Martin talked to Vernon about being restless. He credited his granddad for helping him get to the House of Representatives. They discussed the importance of Vernon’s work in the civil rights movement.
Vernon said he regretted helping Bill start out his practice. Martin agreed with his grandpa that Bill wasn’t a good guy. Even so, Vernon was happy for Bill to be out of the family even though it hurt Dani.
Hayley showed up at Bill’s office, and he was infuriated about Dani punching Hayley. He wanted to take care of it, but Hayley urged him to let Dani have the win. She did lament how she’d been smacked down at every turn on what should’ve been a special day.
Hayley said she wished they could cancel the wedding and elope. She worried that nobody but their firm would show up. However, Bill promised to fix things so they could get married at the club.
After Martin left, Bill’s doorbell rang. Vernon wasn’t happy to find Bill at his doorstep. Bill insisted that the entire Dupree family show up at his and Hayley’s wedding. Obviously, Vernon wasn’t interested. However, Bill reminded him that Vernon and the family owed him from previous favors.
Anita walked in, and Vernon told her about Bill’s visit. She hated giving into Bill, but they weren’t interested in taking a risk. They agreed that protecting Martin was their priority.

Dani burst into Bill’s office as he was in a meeting, and she grabbed his golf club and cleared everything off Bill’s desk. She pointed the club at him and said, “You sorry, son of a bitch.”
