Diversion Audio On the last episode of The Royals of Malibu... Ella, I am so crazy for you. I am officially obsessed with Reed Royal. What's wrong? Eastern showed up to practice high. Shit. Is he gonna get expelled?

What kind of brother are you, Winnie-Way, huh? You could have stopped this! The problem is that we are all struggling, and you can't handle it, Dad. You're a dead-beat, Dad, who just happens to live in our house. They don't think of me as their father. How do I fix this?

Are you really going to send Reed to military school? I don't think of me as their father. How do I fix this? Are you really going to Sun Reid to military school? I don't know. One note we should mention. This episode contains adult language and Subject matter that may not be appropriate for younger audiences. Please take care in listening. the sing. You're still here. Uh oh, and you're crumpy in the morning. Very cute. Why do you have an alarm set on a Saturday? I don't want to waste my whole weekend sleeping in.

You're crazy. That's exactly what weekends are for. Exactly what weekends are for. What is that? I don't know. Is that... ...brook screaming? Jesus! When Read and I get to the kitchen, Brooke is yelling at Calum and smashing dinner plates.

What happened now? I have no idea. I just got here. How dare you, Calum! How dare you! Brooke, I'm sorry, but please, let's handle this like adults. I have wasted two years of my life waiting for you to marry me. And the whole time, I was wet! Let's handle this like adults. I have wasted two years of my life waiting for you to marry me. And the whole time I was wife.

So glad it jumped to you. No, no, no, you were never a joke. I care about you very much. I can keep paying for your place. Your car payments, those were gifts. I have reached your money. Oh, come on. Eastern stuff.

But she hasn't worked two years. I should get a pay for the insurance on a Porsche. Calam Royal, you are a liar. You said you were going to marry me. You said we were going to have children. I don't recall those specific conversations. Fuck, okay, okay, okay. Perhaps there's been a misunderstanding.

I'm sorry that I wasn't clear enough in my communication. You're sorry that you weren't clear. Okay, I'm sorry for everything. All of it. That's so much fun, Brookie. But I need to put my family first right now, okay? Oh my God, this lady's gonna kill us all. You think that I've ruined your family?

No, that's not what I am. You ruined your own family! We're down selfishness! And now you think it's all going to be sunshine and rainbows what I'm gone! Your kids may hate me, Calum, but they hate you more. Now, you won't have me as your scapegoat. Brock, please! I'll be gone within the hour.

Please, stay out of my way. I don't want to see any of your faces before I leave. And that is exactly why I always break up with girls over text. Beeson, you are such a dick. Whatever, that was hilarious. I wish I was recording. That would definitely go viral. Shut up, dude. I'm just kidding.

Mostly. What? You actually feel sorry for her? I don't know. A little. She was so upset. Ella, could I... Could I speak with you briefly? In my study, please.

What are you gonna break up with me, too? Too soon! Sorry! Yes, you're a study. What century is that fireplace from? Damn, this place is regal. Wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait Something to drink? I'm okay. Are you okay, Kellan? The reading of your father's will is next week. It was tied up in some legal red tape,

but we're finally able to read it. I think you should be there. I don't know. I mean, I didn't even know Steve. Is Dina going to be there? Yes, but I'll be there with you. You don't have to speak with her if you don't want to. I don't know.

I think it's important. And it would mean a lot to me. Steve, what if I wanted you there? OK. OK. I'll be there. Along those lines, um... Could I ask, uh...

How am I doing so far? With what? Is your guardian? Oh! You're great to me, Calum! Five stars! It's only been a couple months, but... I really think Malibu was starting to feel like home.

Good. Good, ah, good. I know it's been a rough few days, but maybe it's good to get all of the hurt out in the open. Sometimes things have to get worse before they get better, right? Right off the scab? I hope you're right. Otherwise, I'm gonna have to send the boys away. You know, somewhere where they can get their act together before it's too late. Would you really do that?

I... might not have a choice. When I walk through the foyer, I see Easton peering through the curtains. What are you doing, weirdo? Look, Brooke can't fit all of her stuff in her tiny little car. This is hilarious. You really aren't as whole. The woman's just been kicked out of her home with no warning. By the way, Easton, have you been kicked out of school yet?

Oh, cares. The board's still deliberating when my dad throws money at them. Where are you going? I... Here, let me help, Brock. These can go in the back seat, right? I'm not supposed to get all of this stuff up to my apartment. I can come with you. This is too much to do alone.

Really? Yeah, let's go. Where are you going? I'll be back later. Right, I'll be back later. Ignore him. I'm literally a joke to them. I'm sorry. I'm sorry. I'm sorry. I'm sorry. I'm sorry. I'm sorry.

I'm sorry. I'm sorry. I'm sorry. I'm sorry. I'm sorry. I'm sorry. I'm sorry. I'm sorry.

I'm sorry. I'm sorry. All the years that I was with him, and I did everything for him. He never respected me. He never cared about me. I was just aren't candy to him. I'm wearing the fucking dresses. I end up carrying all of the boxes up to Brooks apartment while she sobs on the couch.

You'll be okay, look, maybe it's for the best. Oh, it's definitely for the best. What an asshole, in the end. I'm just embarrassed, I let him treat me so badly. Hey, I've put up with worse to be able to pay rent. I can't believe I felt in love with him. And he just threw me away. Like I was nothing. He's just confused right now.

He's just taking some time to focus on his kids. And let's be real. They need it. Those boys are our lost cause. Oh, that's right. I forgot you're sleeping with Reed. What? We're not sleeping together. Girl, you don't fool me. Don't worry, Calum has no idea.

He's clueless. Reed and I are... taking it slow. There's no are... ...taking it slow. There's no such thing as taking it slow with the royals. You know it's so disgusting about falling in love. You completely lose yourself. Hmm, that's not really my style. You'll see.

You start off as an independent woman with career goals and you become this spineless stranger who's completely focused on making one emotionally unavailable man. Love you back. It's pathetic. You're not pathetic, Brooke. Come on.

I am. I have mascara all over my face. And I'm the only person who didn't see this coming. I was a placeholder. I did not belong in that world. And neither do you. I know. You better end things with Reed before it's too late.

I see the way you look at him. That boy could walk all over you and you'd let him. Just like me. Okay, Brooke, I get that you're hurt right now, but do not take it out on me. Don't act like I'm wrong. Read could do anything. And you'd forgive him. That is not true at all.

You'll see. Can you Uber home? There's a bottle of gray goose with my name on it in the freezer. As much as I want to forget Brooks' words of warning, they stick with me all the way back to the Royal's calm down. What's my score? 10 million out of 10. Definitely going to the Olympics.

Breathe. Have you ever had a real girlfriend? I guess Abby and I were official for a while, but it didn't work out. Why not? I don't know. Things just didn't feel right. Hmm, kind of a fuckboy answer.

Hey, I'm not a fuckboy. Mm-hmm. Come here. I'm not gonna break your heart, Alison Claire. Okay. And I'm not going to break yours either. Read Royal. Deal.

And just like that, a whole of my concerns magically fade away. Funny how that happens. Okay, but what about college? Shh, don't talk about college. Just be here with me. Now. Dear, what are the only fans that's happening out here? Come on, dude.

Eastern, you should sneak up on people like that. Well, you probably shouldn't parade your secret relationship around the house where dad could very easily catch you, like you care if we get caught. Look, we learned this week that when one of us gets in trouble, we all get in trouble. Even in a post-brook world, the royal boys are on thin ice. We're not in a relationship.

Oh, OK. We're not in a relationship. Oh, okay. We're not. I mean, we haven't talked about it. Anyways. I mean, I'm not talking to anyone else. Me neither. Gross. Okay, spare me the couple's therapy session.

But if I could re-interrupt Ella, my dad has something to show you. Right now. Come on, dad's waiting out front. OK. Oh, my God. That's for me. It's the LC500. I didn't know if you wanted a convertible,

but we are in Malibu after all. Alexis? Calum, this is too much. It's no problem. No word of mind should be taking the bus. I don't know if I can accept this. It's Royal Blue. Get it?

He had a custom paint it. I was very specific about the shade of blue. I thought you were going to get me just something small and temporary. Like, like an old Civic. This is small. It's a two door. Kalam. Cake, the car.

You deserve it. We want you to have it. When I look around at the royals, they're all so happy for me. Happy that I'm here. And for the first time in my life, I believe Reed. Maybe I do deserve good things. Come on, let's take it for a test drive.

Enjoy it. Reed, are you coming? Uh, you guys go ahead. I'll see you when you get back. We're just gonna drive down the PCH, okay? You gotta speed up and then hit Sport mode. Okay. Woo! Man, I know we are supposed to like care about the environment, but there is nothing like an old-fashioned sports car.

Open it up! Whoa! Okay, you were right. This is late. I'm not going to be able to do it. I'm not going to be able to do it. I'm not going to be able to do it. There is nothing like an old-fashioned sports car. Open it up! Whoa! Okay, you were right. This is Lin.

Now that we're alone, listen. You and Reed are a bad idea. Oh, it is. Please explain why is it such a bad idea. Look how things ended up with my dad and broke. With me and Savannah. With my mom, the royals hurt people. Reed hurts people, he can't help it.

Well, Reed has never hurt me. You think that just because someone has a hard time growing up, they're doomed no matter what? That's not what I'm saying. I know it hasn't been super easy so far. Believe me. But Read and I are actually doing really well. Okay, it's just my two cents from someone who's known him his whole life.

Ugh, why does everyone keep telling me that dating Read is going to end in disaster? Do people just hate love these days? Or is this relationship actually doomed before it's even begun? And do I really want to know the answer to that question? Message received, okay? Changing the subject? I'm starving. Yes, tacos?

Yes, but not in the car. I don't want you spilling tapatillo all over these gorgeous other seats. Uh, this lifestyle has changed, you Ella. The longer I drive the car, Calum gave me, the more it feels wrong. Like, it's not my car. Like, this car and this life doesn't really belong to me. Is it a bad idea to be dating Red Royal? And I fooling myself into thinking that I could be a bad guy. I'm not a bad guy. I'm not a bad guy.

I'm not a bad guy. I'm not a bad guy. I'm not a bad guy. I'm not a bad guy. I'm not a bad guy. I'm not a bad guy. I'm not a bad guy. I'm not a bad guy.

I'm not a bad guy. I'm not a bad guy. I'm not a bad guy. Read. You do realize this is still my bedroom you're barging into. The Lakers are on. I'm studying. The Lakers are LA culture. There's so much you need to learn. Okay, okay. I guess I can study and watch at the same time. Don't worry, Dan, I'm gonna get you the money. I just need a little more time. Is it that's Easton in his room? Yup.

You can hear us through the vent? Yeah, but don't worry. You guys are usually really boring. Hey, my fuck you. Fuck your threats. I told you I'm gonna get you the money so you can drop the fuck in top guy act. Who is he talking to?

It doesn't matter. Here, I'll turn it up. I'm gonna need it this past weekend. All right, all right, all right, is that enough? Ray, what the fuck is going on? Let me go talk to him. Absolutely. Drop get it up. Alright, alright, alright, get that! And the office! What the fuck is going on? Let me go talk to him. Absolutely.

Shut the fuck up! And David's with me. I like that move. Setting the tone for the music. I already too. Fuck you! Watch your own back, man! Eason.

Eason. Why, chill. Dude, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no Do you know what I'm doing? Do you shitting here? You threw the fucking vent. Are you sure? Yeah, everything you're fucking saying. So shut the fuck up. What the fuck are you doing? Listen, I'm just going down the hall and take it outside. Fuck! Right.

All good. What was that about? Nothing. Maybe you should watch the game in your own room. What's wrong? When is the shading is going to end? Are there always going to be secrets? No.

Look, you don't need to stress about Eastern's business. What, selling drugs? Let's just drop it. I'm not trying to keep secrets. I'm trying to keep you from feeling like you have to fix all of our problems. Eastern needs to deal with his own shit. You don't need to take responsibility for him.

What do you mean? Do I do that? Kind of. I mean, it's nice. And I do it sometimes too, but I was reading this book and it was talking about people with a savior complex. You were reading a self-help book? Wait, and I have a savior complex?

Ella, you followed me in the middle of the night alone to a fight club. So I could figure out where you were sneaking off to? So you could save me, right? I don't like where you're going with this. Hey, come here. Don't be mad. Why do you know me so well? Because we're the same person. How much are you paying attention to this game?

Hmm, like 10%. But I can bump it up to 30 because I care about you. You paying attention to this game? Hmm, like 10%. But I can bump it up to 30 because I care about you. Wow, a friggin' martyr. Ha, ha, ha. Okay, you're right. I'm staying out of Eastern's business this time. I'm just going to focus on myself and us.

Thank you. Yeah, well, I got just going to focus on myself and us. Thank you. Yeah, well, I got my own fucking crew, my fuckers, you better watch your back. Nah, nah man, I ain't scared. I'm gonna get you your fucking money, so shut the fuck up! Did you believe that? Because I didn't. I seem to be a magnet for trouble in Malibu, and I have a feeling that whatever eastern's hiding is coming my way.

I know what you're talking about. You know what I'm talking about? I know what you're talking about. I know what you're talking about. I know what you're talking about. I know what you're talking about. I know what you're talking about. I know what you're talking about.

Everyone keeps telling me that Rita's basically going to stomp out my heart. Ellen Valerie hit the Hollywood club scene. Having fun without me? Are you stalking me now? Maybe. I can't resist you.

A girl's night out is sacred, but we can make an exception for Reed because of his bad childhood and his GQ-bod. Did that guy just touch you? Reed! Don't! That's even alone! Speaking of the questionable male behavior, Ella will finally say goodbye to her father.
