Tyrique: I can't help but feel
responsible for Teddy

being in the hospital.

Lauren:
They're rushing Granddaddy

into emergency surgery.

Your grandfather's
a fighter.

I just couldn't imagine
not having

a relationship with my dad.

If you have the chance
to have that, take it.

Raymond:
I only want my company back.

I don't want my wife to get hurt
in the process. Hold on.

Angela:
Why would you do that?

Aligning with the woman who's
trying to hurt your family?

Teddy Franklin is suffering
from Parkinson's disease.

I want you out of
this house tonight.

We're happy to see you
awake, Teddy.

Happy birthday, Daddy.
You're looking great today.

Well, you know, maybe I will
climb Mount Everest to celebrate

my return around the sun.

- You're funny.
- Mm. [ Chuckles ]

It's good to see you.

Ah, thank you.

Jackie, you can go ahead and
serve the cherry blintzes now.

Someone's birthday
breakfast favorite.

Oh, and Mr. Dupont
is gonna be joining us.

He's still in Boston
on business.

Jackie:
Very good, ma'am.

Are you even trying
to talk to my dad?

Mm-hmm. Lo, we're
supposed to keep it

focused on
the birthday playa.

Your father
and I have some

complicated things
to talk through.

Teddy: Could you two take those
gifts up to my office

so that the "birthday playa"
can speak with your motha?

Okay, but save me
a blintz though.

Mnh-mnh.
Wow.

Okay, I see.

[ Chuckles ]

I know that
the past few weeks

have been a huge strain
on your marriage, and I'm sorry.

I know that you have been
trying to hold it together

even though Raymond's ex
is hell-bent on

blowing things apart by keeping
my health in the headlines.

And it doesn't help that
you haven't been

cleared to return to work.

I mean, the board
is counting the minutes

until the great
Teddy Franklin returns.

Well, let's give them
the great Leah Franklin.

This whole ordeal
has made me realize

that I haven't done enough
to pave the way for you.

Daddy...

I mean, I'm supposed to be
taking care of you right now.

And look at you,
taking care of me.

Hmm.

Are you sure?

My meds are calibrated.

My heart gets stronger
every day.

I just want yours to be.

So, you take the reigns,
you close the stadium deal,

you build
the expansion team,

and you let that victory be
the first jewel in your crown.

Well, you know, the business
is a mess right now.

And you will be phoenix
that raises it from the ashes.

Franklin Holdings, one day,
will be yours.

You tell that to the board
and lead...

with strength.

Hmm?

Hmm.

I am not gonna need
my morning coffee after that.

Hey, I'm always down to put
a little pep in your step.

Yeah, I know you are.

Mm.

But I'm going to see
Teddy this morning.

Yeah. You two are
doing pretty good.

He's trying.

I'm trying.
Yeah.

Well, I'm gonna hit
the shower before I go.

I got
some client meetings.

Hey, Ty?

How are you feeling
about your dad?

You haven't
really said much.

There's not much to say.

My father killed himself,

and the answers to my
questions died with him, so...

I'm not just talking
about answers.

I mean how you're doing.

Hey.

Talking helps.

Yeah?

Well, I can think
of a few other things

that'd help
just as much.

Didn't you say you were
gettin' in the shower?

I am.
You coming with me?

Get it nice and hot.
I'll be right there.

- Hey.
- Angela: Hey, there.

How are you feeling?

Almost right as rain,
according to the doctors.

At the moment, I'm trying
to secure a piece of history

for my birthday.

"Brothers,"
Malvin Grey Johnson.

You know it?

Oh, I've always
been obsessed with

the Harlem Renaissance.

See, that's the Franklin
in you. [ Chuckles ]

Actually, this piece
was in my family for years.

It was my
brother's favorite.

My father sold it
after Louis' death.

I want to try
and get it back for him.

When Louis died,
we were not our best.

So, I want to do
right by him now.

You keep surprising
me, old man.

[ Chuckles ] I want to do
right by you, too.

I know it's not all
healed between us,

which is why I invited you
to my birthday party.

It's a tradition
that I throw a big summer soiree

every year, but this year,

there's just so much
more to celebrate.

Uh, assuming
you are coming.

Y-Yeah.
Yeah, of course!

- [ Laughs ] Okay.
- Yes!

You know, I was
just thinking about

how much your heart attack
changed so many things.

For you and me,
for Tyrique.

Mm.

I know he's struggling.

I'll talk to him.

Thank you.
Mm-hmm.

All right.

And as for your party,
Nikki and I will be there.

As long as you're healthy
enough to do "The Wobble."

[ Both laugh ]

Bye.

And in other news,
Franklin Holdings is still

suffering huge losses
after the recent news of CEO

Teddy Franklin's
Parkinson's diagnosis.

Stocks are crumbling,
and leadership is in question.

Man: Thank you, Alex.

- Hi, Daddy.
- Hey, good to see you.

Looking sharp,
young man.

Yes.

Mom, look who's home.

Uh, you said you needed help
with your charity, right?

- Let's -- Let's do that.
- No, I didn't.

Yes, you did.

It was time
for me to come home.

- Is it, now?
- Oh, yes, yes.

Look, you wanted
your space.

I gave you your space.

But this is my family.

And now what?

I'm just supposed to forget
about all that's happened.

It's not like I haven't
forgotten about things.

And what is that
supposed to mean?

How about the fact that
you lied to me about Teddy?

I know something's
going on with him.

How about the fact that you
brought your ex-wife

into our world?

And now, we are crumbling

because she was thirsty
for a news story?

Because that is really
what's happening here.

Okay.
Not your theories

on my father being
the problem in our marriage.

I know about Our Legacy LLC.

Yes, I saw your e-mails.

See, now, how am I supposed
to let you back in this house?

How am I supposed
to trust you

when you keep sneaking
around behind my back?

H-H-How you supposed
to trust me?

How am I supposed
to trust you?!

How can I trust you
when you lie to my face?

And on top of that,
all you do is side with Teddy,

- time and time again.
- Okay, I need to go to work.

Okay, yes --
now you need to go.

But I'm not going
anywhere, okay?

You come to play?

I came to save
our company, Jack.

I found a loophole
in the bail-out agreement.

It allows us
to request an audit

of Franklin's management
of Darmon.

I think Teddy has tied
our company up

in some type of shell company --
Our Legacy LLC.

I thought you
were benching me.

Legally, I need your signature
to press things forward.

Dude, what are you doing?

Why are you killing yourself
to be in charge of Darmon again?

Teddy buying us out --

this was the best thing
that ever happened to me.

Same perks, same paycheck,
fraction of the responsibility.

I mean, look at you, man.

You're a big old, pretty ball
of stress, for what?

'Cause unlike you, Jack,
I have a family and a legacy

to pass on to my children.

Just sign the papers.

I'll have, uh,
one of my lawyers

look at it when
I get some time.

Remember, I know where all
your bodies are buried,

and I'm not afraid
to dig 'em up.

Oh, and y-your backhand?

It's trash.

Angela: I decided to go
to Teddy's party tonight.

You coming?

Ye-- Yeah,
let's do it.

Okay.

It's kind of crazy --

both of us getting to know
our fathers at the same time.

How you doing
with all that?

Uh, we're actually gonna
hang out today.

I was thinking, like,
lunch at Bib and Butter's,

and then a bike ride
on the pier.

Is that corny?

No, it's not corny.
It's cute.

Why, you nervous?
You want me to come with you?

I don't have to go
to my meeting.

Mom, you don't have to worry
about me, okay?

I am 17, and I am grown.

Whoa, I will tell you
when you're grown.

M'kay?
[ Laughs ]

But you know what?

Part of the reason I held off
telling you about your dad

is 'cause I really didn't
think you could handle it.

And you are surprising me
every day.

And, yes, you are growing
to become an amazing woman.

A Vaughn woman.

[ Chuckles ]

I'll see you later.
All right.

Okay, everyone, thank you.

Meeting adjourned.

Oh, and I wanted to pick

Well, I usually

It's tradition.

You could get in on it --
or not.

Okay?

Um, what's up?

Look, I spent days with you
at Teddy's hospital bed.

I know what your

How have you and Raymond been

I'm fine.

Okay. You said "I,"
not "we."

It's been tough.
There's the Raymond stuff --

He keeps using sex
to deflect from talking.

And that's a bad thing?

Well, he won't
admit it, yeah.

He's using his tongue for
everything else but to talk.

Thank you.

Okay, your go.

Um, Raymond's
the same way.

And our sex life
has always been great,

but maybe
that's the problem.

I mean, at some point,
we just

stopped actually
communicating.

Teddy: Well, I heard you

I can't believe that Leah

let you out of

I, on the other hand,
am not quite so forgiving.

You've caused my little girl
a great deal of pain

be able to save you.

This all could have
been avoided if you would have

angry with me -- for now.

And, yes, you may have
Darmon -- for now.

But at least
I'm not lonely.

And as much as I learned
from that,

I would have learned more
from seeing her softer moments.

I've thought a lot
about your mom lately --

and how what happened
between our father

must have been hard.

Yeah, but she hid a lot
of that from me.

Kept up that
"strong Black woman" thing.

We all do.

But it's not sustainable.

It's not.

Black can crack.

And after what happened
with Teddy, she did.

Yeah.

My mother, too.

They weren't the only ones
that he hurt,

and this time,
Raymond and my marriage

have become
the collateral damage.

I'm his wife.

I told him I would
have his back and --

and that I would help him
get Darmon back from Daddy,

but I couldn't.

I tried, but I --

Leah, I know we're just starting
to get to know each other,

but do you want to know
what I really think?

The real power
is in honesty.

Sure, it exposes
some of our stuff,

but it's not weakness.

Weak would be throwing away
your marriage

and walking
into Jack's room.

Being honest,
vulnerable with Raymond --

telling him what
you just told me?

That's power.

Q, what are you doing
in the staff wing?

I took your advice, and I'm
finally paving my own way.

So, as a thank you,
I thought I'd score you

an exclusive invite to
the biggest party of the night.

Isn't Mr. Franklin's
party already over?

Well, yeah, but it's
all about the after party.

Some of us are doing a bonfire
down at the beach,

so what do you say?

Will you help me celebrate
my newfound freedom?

[ Laughs ] I'd love to.

It's a little late
for that.

Sloane still has a job
to get up for.

Evening, Ms. Jackie.
How are you?

Vigilant, Mr. Quincy.

With any other young woman,
I'd serve no judgment,

but when it comes
to this one, steer clear.

Good night.

Come on in.

That's why I gave you
the key.

Raymond.

So, I got word that you're not
gonna sign the disclosure.

Yeah, well, I had my team
look it over,

and then I got an offer
from Teddy.

I gave him my shares
in perpetuity,

so you no longer have to worry
about my signature.

Just you
and the old man now.

I knew I shouldn't
have trusted you.

You're right --
you shouldn't have.

Hey, and now that we're
no longer business partners,

maybe I can clue you in
to my intentions.

I have always thought that
Leah was a fox.

So if you don't think
you can handle that anymore...

Angela: You didn't go hang out
with your cousins?

Um, I felt
like writing.

I see Nate's journal.

Gettin' inspiration,
or trying to understand him

a little bit better?

Nate told me what happened
today after lunch.

Why didn't you tell me?

Um, it wasn't
that big of a deal.

I just had to stay calm, uh,
for him, like you would.

Oh, you remind me so much
of myself, it's scary.

I was always trying
to be strong,

'cause that's what
I saw growing up.

But I think if Mama Eve
had let me see her

be vulnerable, we could have
stopped the cycle

of always pretending to be
strong when we're actually

falling apart inside.

But you're never
falling apart.

Nikki!

Yes, I do.

I struggle just like
everybody else.

Really?

Raising you alone,
and I had to be a mother

and a father,
and that made it hard

to show you
when I was hurting.

And I'm sorry for that,

'cause I think it sent you
the wrong message.

Let me tell you
something.

You are allowed to be
vulnerable.

This is a big step
you're taking with your dad.

You don't have to
go through it alone.

I-I just saw him
start to panic,

and I didn't know
h-how to help.

Yeah, you don't have
to know everything.

You're a kid.

Let us grown folk do our part
and take care of you, okay?

Look, I was thinking we could
all use support right now.

Nate does want to get out
of Teddy's guest room.

How would you feel if he were
to move in with us?

I'd love that.

Really?

[ Laughs ] Well...

Okay.

Thanks.

[ Knock on door ]

All night, I was staring
at you from across the room.

I was wondering,
how did we get to a place

where we keep things
from each other?

I know I didn't
get there alone.

No, you didn't.

Played my part.

I lied to you in hopes
of protecting you.

I sent those Our Legacy LLC
e-mails so long ago,

when I was trying to fix
whatever it was

my father was trying
to do to Darmon.

Then Daddy found out
what I was doing

and locked me
out of the books, too.

You could have just
told me that.

It's hard to admit it,
but the strong and powerful

Leah Dupont was powerless
in the situation.

I mean, I can't fix it.

And maybe if I did,

you wouldn't have felt like you
had to turn to Alex.

And maybe the two most
important men in my life

wouldn't be
at each other's throats.

Yeah, I know that
it's always been you and Teddy

against the world --

and especially
with all the trauma

you've been through
with your mother.

I also know that you
and my mother

aren't the best of friends.

But at the end of the day,
she knows you're my wife.

You come first, and I've always
made sure she knew that.

So, as your wife,
what can I do?

I mean, I want to find out
about Our Legacy LLC,

because my father's
never gone through

so much trouble
to hide something from me.

I'll find out.

But trying to protect
your relationship

with him handcuffs me.

I need to be able to come out
swinging and do what I do.

It's the only way I'm gonna
be able to beat him.

It has always been me
and daddy against the world,

but it's me and you
against the world, too.

Do you -- no handcuffs.

Done.

Uh, where are you going?

Well, you said you, uh,
needed some space

and didn't want me
sleeping with you, so...

Well, who said anything
about sleep?

Come in.

Hey.
Hey.

I got your text.
Are you all right?

- Nikki okay?
- Yeah, yeah, she's fine.

Um...

we had a talk.

Just realizing how much
she's had to grow up

over this past year,
and she's so smart.

And she's tall like you,
so sometimes, I just --

I forget that
she's still a kid.

But she won't be for
that much longer,

and I want her
to have some time

where she gets to be a kid
with two parents.

So, um, we both think
you should move in with us.

I -- I appreciate
the offer, but I --

I don't want a hand-out.

A hand-out is a guest room
at the Franklin Mission, okay?

Nate, I'm talking
about family.

Nikki needs us...

to -- to take
care of her.

Together.

Look, I know you've held
it down for 17 years, Gee.

But if we're gonna try to be
some kind of family for Nikki,

I need you two
to let me be her father

so I can be
strong for her.

For us.

Okay.

Thank you.
