1:04
outsider who wandered into their fancy
1:05
family portrait
1:08
at Tom and Sarah's wedding Clare even
1:10
leaned over to a friend and whispered
1:12
"He's just the hired help thinking Tom
1:14
was out of earshot."
1:16
Yeah he heard every word and it stung
1:19
like a paper cut but Sarah's different
1:22
kind funny always quick to shut down her
1:25
mom and sister's snarky comments or well
1:28
she used to be one stormy Tuesday night
1:31
Tom's chilling on the couch sketching a
1:33
logo for a new client when there's this
1:35
frantic pounding at the front door
1:38
sarah opens it and there's Clare her
1:40
sister looking like she just stepped out
1:42
of a soap opera she's got three massive
1:45
suitcases her mascara's running down her
1:47
face and she's balling her eyes out
1:50
david left me she wales collapsing into
1:53
Sarah's arms like she's auditioning for
1:55
an Oscar he's been cheating for months
1:59
tom's sitting there pencil frozen mid
2:02
sketch catching Sarah's eye she gives
2:05
him that look you know the one the we
2:08
got a helper look tom's a good guy so he
2:11
nods even though something in his guts
2:14
telling him this ain't going to end well
2:16
sure Claire you can crash in the guest
2:18
room he says getting up to grab some
2:21
clean sheets from the linen closet he's
2:23
thinking a few days maybe a week and
2:27
she'll be back on her feet oh buddy was
2:30
he in for a rude awakening the next
2:32
morning things start going sideways and
2:35
fast
2:36
claire's not just settling into the
2:38
guest room she's got her eyes on Tom and
2:40
Sarah's master bedroom you know the one
2:44
with the plush king-sized bed the
2:46
skylight Tom loves for morning coffee
2:48
vibes and the walk-in closet they spent
2:51
weeks organizing claire's wandering
2:53
around accidentally peeking in making
2:56
comments like "Wow this room's so
2:58
calming i could really use that right
3:00
now." Tom's raising an eyebrow but
3:03
before he can say anything Barbara
3:05
Sarah's mom gets involved she's on
3:07
speakerphone her voice cutting through
3:09
the air like a buzzsaw that tiny guest
3:12
room that dusty little box no way claire
3:15
needs a proper space after what she's
3:17
been through her heart's broken sarah
3:20
tom's standing there coffee mug in hand
3:22
thinking what's wrong with the guest
3:24
room it's got a bed a window it's fine
3:28
but Barbara's not asking she's demanding
3:31
you two can make it work she says her
3:34
tone dripping with that fake sweetness
3:36
that makes Tom's skin crawl
3:38
sarah looks at him her eyes all soft and
3:41
pleading it's just for a little while
3:43
babe she says tom loves Sarah so against
3:47
his better judgment he agrees big
3:49
mistake huge by the next afternoon
3:52
Claire's moved into the master suite
3:54
like she's the queen of the damn castle
3:56
her suitcases are exploded across the
3:59
floor her makeup's cluttering up the
4:01
bathroom counter and she's already
4:03
swapped out Tom's favorite forest green
4:05
comforter for some goddy floral thing
4:07
that looks like it came from a thrift
4:09
store reject pile tom and Sarah they're
4:13
squeezed into the guest room which is
4:15
fine for a night or two but it's
4:17
starting to feel like a demotion tom's
4:19
trying to stay cool telling himself it's
4:22
temporary
4:23
but then Barbara shows up in person
4:25
strutting into their house like she owns
4:27
it with a contractor trailing behind her
4:29
like a lost puppy she's waving some
4:32
gadget that Tom's pretty sure is just
4:33
her phone with a screen saver "the air
4:35
quality in this guest room is
4:36
atrocious," she declares like she's an
4:39
EPA inspector "claire's allergies will
4:41
flare up in no time we need to renovate
4:43
this space for her." Tom's jaws on the
4:46
floor "renovate and where am I supposed
4:49
to sleep?" he asks watching his desk
4:52
chair get hauled out by the contractor
4:54
barbara's eyes slide to the basement
4:56
door and she smiles that sharp grin of
4:58
hers "plenty of space down there Tom,"
5:01
she says "think of it as a fun little
5:03
project something to keep you busy now
5:05
let's talk about this basement it's not
5:08
some cool man cave with a pool table and
5:10
a mini fridge." Nah it's a straightup
5:13
dungeon dark musty with exposed pipes
5:17
dripping like they're auditioning for a
5:18
horror flick
5:20
there's boxes of old Halloween
5:22
decorations a broken treadmill and a
5:24
water heater that groans like it's
5:26
possessed tom's a graphic designer not
5:29
Bob the Builder but he's stuck setting
5:31
up a cot next to a stack of dusty
5:33
Christmas lights meanwhile Claire's
5:36
upstairs living like she's at a
5:37
five-star resort she's throwing wine
5:40
nights with her friends in Tom's bedroom
5:42
using his fancy rain shower head and
5:44
blasting her awful pop playlist at all
5:46
hours sarah keeps saying "It's just
5:48
temporary babe." But days turn into
5:50
weeks and Claire's showing no signs of
5:52
packing up her recovery looks a lot like
5:56
spa days at the mall and shopping sprees
5:57
at Nordstrom probably funded by whatever
6:00
she squeezed out of her ex David tom's
6:02
toothbrush
6:04
it's on a rusty shelf by the basement
6:06
sink next to a can of WD40
6:09
his clothes shoved in a cardboard box
6:11
beside a broken vacuum cleaner it's not
6:14
just inconvenient it's humiliating tom's
6:17
always been the chill guy the one who
6:19
let stuff slide to keep the peace but
6:22
this this is pushing it he's starting to
6:26
notice how Sarah's been acting different
6:28
lately quieter avoiding his eyes when
6:31
Barbara's around barbara's dropping by
6:33
all the time now her comments wrapped in
6:35
this sugary venom that makes Tom's teeth
6:37
grind
6:39
tom dear the upstairs windows could use
6:41
a good scrub she'll say sipping her
6:43
coffee oh but you wouldn't know being
6:46
down here in the basement
6:48
or I'm teaching Clare your chili recipe
6:51
Tom she's a natural needs something to
6:53
take her mind off her heartbreak
6:56
tom's thinking "My chili recipe the one
6:59
I spent years perfecting are you kidding
7:02
me?"
7:03
He's trying to hold it together but it's
7:05
like he's living in some twisted reality
7:07
show where he's the only one not in on
7:10
the script things come to a head at a
7:12
Sunday family dinner tom's already on
7:15
edge stirring a pot of his famous chili
7:17
in the kitchen when Barbara shows up
7:19
with a surprise guest a freaking real
7:22
estate agent named Linda
7:24
over mashed potatoes Barbara announces
7:27
they found the perfect condo for Clare
7:30
right in the same building as Tom's
7:32
design studio downtown claire's all
7:35
smiles batting her eyelashes like she's
7:37
Miss Congeniality
7:39
"i could help with your business Tom,"
7:41
she says twirling her fork "mom says
7:44
you've been totally swamped lately."
7:46
"Tom's business is his pride and joy he
7:50
built it from scratch designing logos
7:52
websites and branding for clients like
7:54
the Peterson Restaurant Group a big-time
7:57
local chain." the idea of Clare who once
7:59
asked him how to make a PDF bigger
8:02
helping with his work it's laughable but
8:05
nobody's laughing barbara's pushing it
8:08
saying "We're all family Tom claire's
8:10
got a real knack for design." Tom's
8:13
gripping his fork so hard he's surprised
8:14
it doesn't snap he can just picture his
8:17
sleek studio trashed with Clare's tacky
8:19
Pinterest knockoffs neon signs and fake
8:22
succulents everywhere he's had enough
8:26
my business isn't a family project he
8:28
says his voice louder than he meant and
8:31
I don't need help the table goes dead
8:34
silent barbara's smile tightens like
8:36
she's sucking on a lemon we'll talk
8:39
later she says her tone colder than a
8:41
January wind
8:43
clare leans over to Sarah fake
8:45
whispering he's been so tense lately
8:48
poor guy tom's blood is boiling he
8:51
pushes back his chair muttering "I need
8:53
some air." and heads out to the front
8:55
porch outside Tom's pacing gripping the
8:58
railing so hard his knuckles turn white
9:00
he's trying to cool off when his phone
9:02
buzzes it's his best friend Mike with an
9:04
SOS text pipe burst in my bathroom total
9:07
disaster need your design eye ASAP
9:11
tom actually laughs first time in days a
9:14
crisis that's exactly what he needs to
9:16
clear his head he hops in his truck and
9:19
drives to Mike's place a small ranch
9:21
house across town the bathroom's a wreck
9:24
water's everywhere tiles are cracked and
9:26
the vanity's warped like it's been
9:28
through a flood
9:30
mike hands Tom a beer and they sit on
9:32
the couch staring at the mess
9:35
"all right dude you look worse than my
9:37
plumbing." Mike says "Spill." And Tom
9:41
does he unloads everything
9:43
claire's takeover Barbara's meddling
9:46
Sarah's silence
9:48
it all comes pouring out how he's
9:51
sleeping next to a water heater while
9:53
Claire's throwing parties in his room
9:55
how Barbara's acting like she owns his
9:57
house how Sarah's not standing up for
9:59
him anymore
10:01
mike's face goes from shocked to
10:03
straight up pissed man they're walking
10:06
all over you he says cracking open
10:08
another beer and Sarah's just letting
10:11
this happen no way tom shrugs but deep
10:15
down he's starting to wonder if Mike's
10:17
right
10:19
mike grabs his phone you remember Jen
10:21
from college she's a lawyer now does
10:24
real estate and tenants stuff let's get
10:26
her on the phone they call Jen and she's
10:29
like a legal superhero
10:31
over speakerphone she lays it all out
10:34
since Tom's name is on the house deed
10:36
Clare has zero right to his bedroom none
10:41
you're equal owners with Sarah Jen says
10:44
her voice calm but firm they can't push
10:46
you out of your own space like this and
10:48
if Claire's pulling anything with your
10:50
business we can shut that down too for
10:53
the next 2 hours Tom Mike and Jen form a
10:56
battle plan property laws business
10:59
protections even how to handle Clare's
11:01
sneaky moves jen's talking about tenant
11:04
rights cease and desist orders and
11:06
recording meetings for evidence tom's
11:09
taking notes like he's back in college
11:11
and for the first time in weeks he feels
11:13
like he's got a fighting chance he
11:15
drives home with a fire in his chest
11:17
ready to take back what's his the house
11:19
is quiet when he pulls into the driveway
11:21
claire's upstairs probably scrolling Tik
11:24
Tok in his bed the glow of her phone
11:26
lighting up the skylight sarah's in the
11:29
living room flipping through a home
11:30
decor magazine but she looks up when Tom
11:33
storms in "we need to talk," he says his
11:37
voice steady but with an edge that makes
11:39
her sit up straight "babe can it wait
11:42
till morning?" she asks her eyes darting
11:45
away
11:46
no Tom says crossing his arms this stops
11:50
tonight either Clare moves to the guest
11:52
room or I'm out and I'm taking half the
11:54
business with me
11:56
sarah's eyes go wide like she's seeing
11:58
him for the first time
12:01
you can't mean that she says her voice
12:03
cracking
12:05
i do Tom shoots back i talked to a
12:08
lawyer today this house it's mine too
12:11
and I'm done sleeping in the damn
12:12
basement while your sister throws wine
12:14
parties in our room and your mom treats
12:16
me like a tenant sarah opens her mouth
12:19
but before she can say anything Clare
12:22
appears at the top of the stairs wearing
12:24
Tom's favorite Red's hoodie like it's
12:25
her own "everything okay down there?"
12:28
she asks her voice all fake sweet like
12:30
she's talking to a toddler
12:33
tom's done playing nice no Clare it's
12:36
not he says staring her down we're
12:38
having a private conversation you need
12:40
to pack your stuff and move to the guest
12:42
room now
12:44
clare tries her usual sob story her eyes
12:46
welling up like she's on Q
12:49
i can't believe you do this to me after
12:51
everything I've been through she
12:53
sniffles but Sarah cuts her off her
12:56
voice shaky but firm enough Clare she
13:00
says standing up tom's right this has
13:02
gone way too far clare's face twists her
13:05
tears drying up real quick she storms
13:08
upstairs slamming the bedroom door so
13:10
hard the walls shake by midnight Tom's
13:13
back in his own bed the skylight above
13:16
him glowing with stars it feels like
13:19
he's won a damn war but hold up the
13:21
drama's not done yet the next morning
13:24
Tom heads to his design studio downtown
13:26
a sleek little office he's poured his
13:28
heart into he's barely through the door
13:30
when he sees Clare sitting at his desk
13:32
spinning in his ergonomic chair like
13:34
she's the CEO of Google
13:36
barbara's standing next to her holding a
13:38
folder of papers looking like she just
13:40
stepped out of a boardroom
13:43
"we need to talk business Tom," Barbara
13:45
says sliding the papers across his desk
13:48
with a smile that's all teeth tom skims
13:50
them and his stomach drops they want him
13:53
to sign over 51% of his company to make
13:56
it family run with Clare as a partner
13:59
clare's smirking leaning back in his
14:01
chair mom talk to the Petersons," she
14:04
says all casual "they're not too happy
14:07
with your work lately Tom the Petersons
14:10
are Tom's biggest clients their
14:12
restaurant chains rebrand is his biggest
14:14
contract yet losing them would tank his
14:17
reputation and Clare knows it." "You're
14:21
threatening my clients?" Tom asks his
14:23
voice low barely holding back his anger
14:27
barbara shrugs her eyes cold just
14:30
looking out for the family dear," she
14:32
says like she's offering him a cookie
14:34
before Tom can lose his cool the office
14:36
door swings open and in walks Jen her
14:39
heels clicking like a warning shot and
14:42
behind her David Clare's ex-husband
14:45
looking like he's ready to throw down
14:48
filing fraud charges David says his eyes
14:51
locked on Clare
14:53
you emptied our joint accounts Clare did
14:55
you think I wouldn't notice clare shoots
14:58
out of the chair like it's on fire her
15:00
face going pale
15:02
barbara stammers her composure cracking
15:05
for the first time "now let's not be
15:07
hasty," she says but Jen's already in
15:10
full lawyer mode she slaps two documents
15:13
on the desk a cease and desist order to
15:16
keep Clare and Barbara away from Tom's
15:17
clients and a restraining order if they
15:20
try anything else "oh and one more
15:23
thing," Jen says grinning like a cat who
15:26
caught the canary
15:27
tom's been recording all business
15:29
meetings company policy the acoustics in
15:32
this office fantastic
15:34
claire's mouth drops open and Barbara's
15:37
clutching her purse so tight her
15:38
knuckles are white tom leans back
15:41
crossing his arms "you got anything else
15:43
to say?" he asks his voice calm but
15:46
sharp
15:48
barbara's eyes narrow "you'll regret
15:50
this." She hisses pulling Clare toward
15:53
the door looking forward to shutting
15:55
that down too tom calls after them a
15:58
smile tugging at his lips the door slams
16:01
and the office feels like it can breathe
16:03
again the next few weeks are like a
16:05
victory lap clare gets slapped with
16:07
fraud charges and Barbara's grip on
16:10
Sarah starts to fall apart turns out the
16:12
Petersons never talk to Barbara they
16:15
love Tom's work and send him two new
16:16
contracts for their sister restaurants
16:19
tom and Sarah start couples counseling
16:21
digging into years of family baggage and
16:23
Sarah's struggle to stand up to her mom
16:26
it's hard messy work but they're finding
16:29
their way back to each other one honest
16:32
conversation at a time
16:34
tom's studio is his again with his
16:36
sketches pinned to the walls and his
16:38
coffee maker humming the basement it's
16:41
back to being a storage space for old
16:43
camping gear and holiday decorations one
16:45
evening Tom's chilling in his home
16:48
office now a calm organized space with a
16:51
new desk he built himself when Mike
16:53
texts him "Just saw Clare at the Waffle
16:56
House on Route 32 she's waiting tables
16:59
karma's wild huh?" Tom laughs leaning
17:03
back in his chair he pulls up a photo on
17:06
his phone from a recent barbecue at
17:07
