On a count of three, take a deep breath.

One, two, three!

-[woman] Donna, she's here. -[baby cries]

[Raven] Donna! Donna!

She's gone into shock! Get me a charge!

[nurse] One, two, three, clear!

You realize Donna's baby could die if you do this, right?

I'm not [indistinct] if I have to save them both!

[nurse] Clear!

One more time!

[defibrillator charges]

[nurse] One, two, three, clear!

[woman] She's back, she's back. I know you're tired, Donna.

We just gotta do one more push.

She's right there, I can see her. Now push!

-[screams] -[Raven] Push now.

You've got this, baby. Push!

[Donna] Where are you taking her?

-What's happening? -[Raven] I'm so sorry.

So sorry.

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

[sobbing]

So sorry.

-[Raven] Whew. -Raven, you good, boo?

[Raven] I'll be fine, Randy.

[Randy] Another 12-hour shift with no help, girl?

I don't know anybody else in here

that could pull that off.

Just give a Superwoman, sis.

And all I need is my cape, right?

[laughs] Okay, period.

And some help up in here.

Ugh, fingers crossed.

Fingers crossed, child.

-Ms. Fields? -Yes?

There's a camera crew in the lobby.

They're here for your 1:00 PM interview.

That was today?

Uh, Ms. Thing, did you forget you also had me set up

1:00 PM interviews for your assistant position?

There's like three ladies sitting over here in the lobby

-right now. -I totally forgot.

-I, um...Randy. -[Randy] Uh-hmm?

Unfortunately, you are gonna have to tell them

I have to reschedule.

-Me? -Yes, you.

Amanda?

Let them know I'll be downstairs in about 10 minutes.

This is crazy!

I can't keep doing this!

And that's due to women not being healthy enough

at the time of delivery.

Here at American Baby Centers for Women,

it is my job to educate women on how important it is

to maintain their health.

This way, they deliver healthy babies

with less chance of stillbirth.

And you've been very successful to this point.

So, tell us, how did you manage to build an OB-GYN empire,

becoming the first woman to own and run a Fortune 500 company?

Why not just work at a hospital?

Because I wanted to make a change.

And change starts with educating people.

And you just can't do that inside of a hospital

delivering babies.

And that's why I'm so excited to announce my Team Mom Program,

that's gonna establish young moms

and getting them on the right track

for their newborn.

That's beautiful.

-You get all that? -[cameraman] Works for me.

-[woman] Okay, great. -Thank you guy so much.

-[woman] Yes. -I really appreciate it.

[dramatic music]

[door closes]

[Raven gasps]

Beautiful.

[Shawn] You are so beautiful.

Baby.

Now, you forgot I was coming home early, huh?

I have so much going on. It totally slipped my mind.

You know, I figured you'd say that.

So, uh, why don't you follow me upstairs

so I can refresh your memory?

-Okay. -[Shawn chuckling]

Uh-hmm. Go on up there.

-Yeah, I see you. -Hmm.

[Shawn] I see you poking out that coat.

-[laughs] -Hmm.

[Shawn] Take it slow, take it slow.

I'm watching.

[singer] ♪ [indistinct] I know you're [indistinct] ♪

[chuckles]

Just been so much going on.

I just wanna be able to balance it all.

Who knew being a businesswoman would be so hard?

But if there's anybody that can handle it, it's you.

Uh-hmm. That's right.

How were your interviews today?

You find anyone?

Can you believe I had women come by

and I booked an interview?

I had to send them home.

Babe, it's all good. Yeah, they can happen sometimes.

But what matters is how you handle it.

I have such a supportive man.

You know how many women would kill

-to be with a man like you? -Oh, I've heard.

I've heard this, but I just tell them,

"You gotta back off,"

because I only have my eyes on you.

-Aww. You better. -Oh, yeah, no doubt.

[chuckles]

So, um, have you, uh...

have you thought about what we talked about?

Or did you forget that too?

[chuckles]

-Shawn. -What?

Why would you ruin your perfect boyfriend moment with sarcasm?

All right. Look, my bad.

I'm not trying to be a jerk right now.

But, Rae, you know how I feel.

Yes, I know.

But timing is everything, Shawn.

We're both so busy.

What time would we have to actually have a wedding?

We make the time.

And that's the beauty of owning your own business,

you get to make your own schedule.

Oh, you've been through this.

You're already a successful architect.

You're established.

[sighs]

I'm still building.

I know, I know.

Look, I get it.

I just wanna take us to the next level.

But look, uh...look at me.

If you're telling me I gotta wait,

no matter how long that is, I'mma wait.

-Yeah? -Yeah.

Aww, I just love how understanding you are.

-I love you. -I love you too.

Now, go on and put that thing I like on.

[laughs]

-Go and get it. -Okay. Okay. Okay.

Go put it on. Put it on.

The one without the fray, though.

-[Raven] Okay! -The fray gets in my teeth.

Last but not the least, I have black with four sugars,

and vanilla.

Oh, no, I'm allergic to vanilla.

What? That's not what the text said.

Hold up.

Oh, wait, see, I was in another group chat,

boo, talking about going to Venezuela,

and then you started texting, talking me about vanilla,

you know, vanilla, Venezuela, same thing.

It's okay, Randy.

I'll just take some of that old coffee in the kitchen.

You know, the one that's been sitting there

-since last night? -Girl, you're so dramatic.

You really know how to make somebody feel bad.

Thanks, Randy.

You're the best assistant money didn't buy.

What you gonna do when I'm gone?

Who are you gonna get to run all these errands for you?

What are you talking about?

Rae, I told you, girl,

I got hired down at the Kaiser.

I'm about to be paid.

-You did tell me that. -[Randy] Uh-hmm.

Well, you deserve it.

I'm happy for you.

Well, at least I can say I worked under a Superwoman.

[Raven] Aww.

Well, you already know

if they don't treat you right down there,

there's always a place for you here.

Oh, thank you, queen.

[doorbell rings]

-[Tiyana] Hey! -[Raven] Hey, girl.

I bought you some home-baked chocolate chip cookies.

From Target?

I didn't say I baked them.

You crazy, T.

Oh, and I got you your favorite perfume.

Aww. Is it real?

[Tiyana] Girl, you know I got connections.

Is it fake?

[laughing] I know people.

So, I saw Prince Charming leave this morning.

When are you gonna marry that gorgeous man?

Did he pay you to say that?

No, but he did tell me

you need to be convinced by someone other than him.

Well, you know me.

If my life isn't perfectly planned,

it's just not for me.

[Tiyana] Oh, come on.

Sometimes, life is not meant to be planned.

You just gotta let it be what it's gonna be.

Aww. Sometimes, I wonder you really even believe

half of the crap you say.

No, but I mean it did sound deep, didn't it?

-It did! -[laughter]

[phone rings]

Hold on.

[Tiyana] Busy, busy, busy.

Tell me about it.

Hello?

Was that today?

Oh, my God.

I am so sorry.

Listen, do me a favor.

Reschedule Marsha and let her know

I will make it up to her.

Thank you.

[Tiyana] Hey, breathe.

This is becoming too much.

Just breathe.

Woosah.

-Uh-hmm. -Woosah.

You got it.

-Woosah. -No. No, seriously.

What am I gonna do?

[Raven] So, looking at your resume,

it looks like you don't have any experience--

Listen, I really love this company.

I need the money

and modeling has always been a dream of mine.

We aren't a modeling agency.

Oh.

Next!

American Baby Center for Women. How can I help you?

So, I pretty much everything except for coffee runs.

Thank you, we will get back to you.

Next!

This center seems like a really great environment

and I've just been looking for a new change of pace.

I would really love to be involved--

Thank you.

-[woman] Yeah, of course. -For coming in.

Oh, you're so welcome.

All the information is on the back of my business card.

And can I just say, I really love every--

[Raven] I have... I have all your information.

That was so sweet.

Thank you. Thank you.

Thank you so much for coming.

Yeah, of course.

[Raven] We'll get back to you.

Next.

A successful woman with no assistant

who has a lazy best friend next door,

living off of her father's life insurance money.

Wah, wah, wah.

-Uh-hmm. -Aren't I lucky?

Don't come for me

just because your life is in shambles.

Girl, you could be the same as me,

because Shawn makes enough money

to take care the both of you times three, okay?

Girl, that man can take care of you in your sleep.

And you know I would never allow him to do that.

I didn't build my business from the ground up

and work my butt off.

Also, I could be able to take care of myself.

What do I look like letting somebody come in

and take care of me?

Women deserve to be independent and do things on their own.

I mean, that's how my mother did it.

That's how I did it.

No offense.

None taken.

I'm not the one complaining.

And no offense.

I know, I'm sorry.

Eh, it's okay. You convince me any time.

Honestly, sometimes I just feel like giving up.

Or going on a very long vacation.

Ooh, now you're talking.

Yes, my treat. Let's take a vacation.

Ooh, Bora Bora.

[sighs]

I just wish it were that easy.

I really need to find an assistant.

And I have to find them fast.

Look, just try to stay positive.

It's all gonna work itself out in the end.

Trust me. You're good.

-I love you. -Love you more.

You want a shot?

Heck, yeah, I want a shot.

[chuckles] We can use the wine as chaser.

-Yeah. -Yes?

-[laughs] -Let me drink this real quick.

You're such a drunk.

[Raven] I delivered over a thousand healthy babies.

Do you mind holding one second?

American Baby Center for Women, how may I help you?

One second, please.

Amanda?

[Amanda] Yes, Ms. Fields?

Why aren't you answering the phones?

You told me to get the delivery room

prepped for your one o'clock.

Oh.

[Amanda] I'm so sorry. We just need more help.

Any luck with finding an assistant?

No, not yet.

Continue prepping. Thank you.

Okay.

Hi, do you mind if I get back to you?

Thank you.

Oh, like, what am I gonna do?

Black, four sugars, no vanilla,

just how you like it, Ms. Fields.

It seem like you're having a rough day.

I'm sorry.

I...I'm not trying to be weird or anything.

I just...I figured you could use some coffee.

How did you even know how I like my coffee?

I'm Annie Dotson.

-I'm the new intern. -Hmm.

[Annie] Well, actually, not that new,

it's been a few weeks now.

But I pay attention, so I caught onto

a couple of things and Randy may have helped me.

I've actually seen you around.

Nice to formally meet you, Annie.

Hmm.

-Thank you for the coffee. -[Annie] Anytime.

Listen, I'm off every day around the same time,

so if you need help with anything,

I don't mind giving you a hand.

Thanks for paying attention.

But I think I'm okay.

Okay. Well, hey, take it easy.

Try not to work too hard, Ms. Fields,

and I'll see you tomorrow.

[Raven] As a matter of fact,

I think I could use some help answering the phones.

Do you mind coming in extra early tomorrow?

Let's say around 8:00 AM?

-Sure. -Great.

I'll see you then.

Thank you so much for calling American Baby Center for Women.

Have an amazing day!

Wow.

You're really good at this.

Usually, it takes people a long time

to even understand the phone system.

Easy.

I used to intern as an operator

on my local hospital in my old neighborhood.

-Really? -[telephone rings]

American Baby Center for Women, how may I help you?

Yes. Of course, we do that here.

I can get you set up with an appointment right now.

Come on in.

[Annie] Here you are.

Coffee.

-Thank you. -And here's this.

Hmm.

Hmm.

Thanks.

[Annie] No problem.

Oh, I just wanted to let you know

that I put together a patient list calendar for you,

the dates and the time is in order,

just a little mini schedule to help you remember.

I hope you don't mind.

Amanda helped me with the dates and the patient list.

I just... I organized it all for you.

I was thinking it would help you, you know,

navigate through your day a little easier.

Thanks so much, Annie.

Have a seat.

Look, things have been quite hectic for me around here

and, uh, I actually just wanted to take a little time out

to thank you for all your help around here.

It's no problem.

Anything else you need help with?

Just let me know.

Actually, I...you know, what do you think

about helping me out a little more permanently?

What do you mean permanently?

Like, becoming my personal assistant.

Fulltime.

Hmm, I'm sure you are aware I have been in the process

of trying to find one.

That is if you can handle the job.

It will consist of you

staying on top of my schedule for me,

and bringing me my coffee,

making sure I no longer miss any appointments,

and pretty much doing

what nobody else wants to do around here.

-[chuckles] -Are you serious?

[stammering]

I don't even know what to say.

You can start off by saying yes.

Yes! [laughs]

Yes, yes, oh, my gosh, yes!

Great. You start now.

Oh.

Thank you so much, Ms. Fields.

You won't regret it.

[mellow music]

Yeah. Well, just induce some labor.

Thank you.

All right. I'll let her know. Thank you.

This, you did great.

But this, you have to refer to this.

Hey, Annie.

Is my appointment with Ms. Lewis still going on today?

2:00 PM.

I spoke with her oldest son,

who said she's usually about 15 minutes early

to every appointment.

So, I was thinking we could have everything set out by 1:30?

Perfect.

Oh, also, I found three companies

that gave out loans to independent businesses

like yours, all female investors.

I'm not even sure if you need it.

So, sorry not trying to be all in your business,

but I thought maybe it could help.

That's amazing, Annie.

Cool, I can set up some appointments for you

this Thursday,

anytime between 3:00 PM and 4:30 PM.

You have no deliveries Thursday.

4:30 actually sounds great.

Perfect. I'll set them up.

You know, Annie, you're doing a great job.

Keep up the good work.

And if you need anything, you let me know.

Actually, um, there is one thing I would love.

Really? What?

I've never seen a real delivery before.

[groans loudly]

[Raven] You're doing fantastic, sweetie.

Take a deep breath.

On a count of three,

I want you to push as hard as you can.

-Okay. -[Raven] You got it?

-Okay. -[Raven] One two, three, push!

Push, push, push, push, push, push, push,

push, push, push, push, push, push, push!

[groans loudly]

[Raven] She's crowning. She's crowning.

Okay, one more time. Are you ready?

-She's right there crowning. -Okay.

-[Raven] On a count of three. -Okay.

[Raven] Deep breath.

One, two, three,

push, push, push, push, push, push, push!

-Keep that! Keep that! -[groans loudly]

[Raven] Push, push, push, push, push, push, push, push!

[breathes heavily]

-[Raven] You did fantastic! -[baby crying]

[Raven] She's so happy for you. She's beautiful.

I told you, you were gonna make it through.

-So proud of you. -[Jessie] Thank you.

[indistinct chattering]

-[Heather] Hey, sis. -Oh, my God!

Heather!

Sorry.

Wait. How are you?

How's the baby and the hubby?

[Heather] Baby's good.

Keith gets on my nerves, but I love him.

Wow. Sis, you look so beautiful.

[Annie] Oh, stop it.

You're the one who got all the good looks.

And you're the one with the brains.

So, tell me this good news.

Who's the savior woman who rescued my big sis?

Oh, my gosh, she is like the greatest boss.

[chuckles]

Her name is Raven Fields.

Shut up.

The Raven Fields? The founder of ABCW?

That's amazing, sis.

I'm so jealous.

Yeah, right, Heather.

You've never been jealous of anyone or anything.

-[chuckles] -True.

I am blessed.

It's so good to see you.

Where are you staying?

My hotel right up the street.

I was actually headed there to check in now,

but I just...I had to stop by.

I'm so glad you're okay.

It's been too long.

Come here.

-Hey, Annie. -Hey.

I need you to come with me to this office party tonight.

Oh. The investor party?

-[Raven] Uh-hmm. -Me? Why?

I'm not beautiful like you.

I'll stick out like a sore thumb.

I don't wanna mess anything up for you.

These are really important people.

Would you cut it out?

You're the reason why I even know these investors.

You have to come with me and it's final.

Well, I don't have anything to wear.

[Raven] That's easy. You can stop by my place.

I'm sure I have something that fits you.

You're coming.

Fine.

[dramatic music]

I knew it would fit you.

You look amazing.

You really think so?

It's not too much?

Not at all. You look fabulous.

[Annie] Trust me, I understand stress.

I haven't been hammered like that

since my first year of college.

[laughs]

So, tell me, what is your story?

Where are you from?

Well, I'm from Oregon.

After my parents died a couple years ago,

I moved out to Palmdale with my sister and her husband.

That didn't really work out.

So, I headed out to the city with a friend to find work.

I love that.

A strong, independent, young, driven woman

that ventures out into the world,

and just doesn't settle for what life gives her.

Just like me when I was your age.

Honestly, it was really hard to find a job.

But then, I saw your ad on Craigslist

that your company was looking for interns,

so here I am.

That just goes to show you, anything is possible,

especially when you put your mind to it.

I totally agree.

I mean, if you try hard and you dream big,

anything is possible.

I mean, look at me.

In my boss's house?

Whoo!

I mean, who would have even thought

the Raven Fields would ever notice me?

You're sweet, Annie. [chuckles]

And look at you now.

My new executive assistant.

All thanks to you.

[laughs]

I won't let you down.

[laughs]

Let's get our butts on the road.

We got two deliveries today.

-Yeah. -We cannot be late.

[dramatic music]

Oh, I cannot wait to see you, baby.

I missed you so much.

[Shawn] I miss you too.

Yeah, I can't wait either.

Mr. Friendly needs some attention.

Hmm, you know, you can't talk to me like that at work.

It gets me so hot and bothered.

I think I still have one more delivery today.

[Shawn] Well, if you weren't so fine,

then maybe I wouldn't be thinking about that stuff.

[laughs]

Oh, I love you.

Okay. I'll see you tonight.

[Annie] Knock, knock.

-Hey, Annie. -Hey.

-The boyfriend? -How do you know?

Only a man can bring out the inner child in us women.

-[Raven chuckles] -You're glowing.

[Raven] He does light me up.

He's been out of town.

[sighs] I miss him so much.

[Annie] Aww, that's too cute.

Anyway, I was actually coming by to see

if you'd be all right with me leaving early?

I have to go get my car out of the shop.

Absolutely.

And while you're at it, do you mind picking up

my clothes from the drycleaners?

-Sure. -Great.

When you get to my house, leave everything on my couch.

And when you're done, leave the keys under the mat.

You got it, boss.

[dramatic music]

-[clock ticking] -[soft music]

[Annie] You like them?

Oh, my God. They're beautiful.

I knew they were your favorite.

This man just doesn't let up.

Oh, uh, no, no, no. They're not from Shawn.

They're from...

-[giggles] -You?

Yes.

I just... I had to get you something

to just let you know I am so thankful

for everything you've done for me

these past couple of months.

I mean, uh, I...

honestly, I don't even know where I would be

without this amazing opportunity.

Wow. I don't even know what to say.

This is really thoughtful of you.

[giggles]

I appreciate it.

-See you Monday? -Yes. Monday, yes.

[Shawn] Hey, babe. I'm home.

[gasps] Baby!

Hey. Hey. Oh, that's real nice.

[laughs]

How you doing?

This is Annie, my new assistant.

-Hi. -Annie Dotson, this is Shawn.

Nice to meet you. I heard a lot about you.

Good things, I hope.

-Of course. -Yeah. All good. All good.

She was actually, uh, making her what out.

She was just dropping off my dry cleaning and--

-Uh-hmm. Good, good, good. -Yeah.

Make it quick because, uh, daddy has a little surprise

-for momma upstairs. -Hmm. Of course.

-Nice meeting you. -You, too.

So, uh, Monday?

-Yes, Monday. -Yes.

But hey, listen. Listen.

I know it's the weekend,

but if you need anything, just call me.

Wow, Annie. You really are fantastic.

Thank you.

-I'll see you Monday. -And you have fun.

Oh, I will.

[laughter]

-Monday. -[Annie laughs]

-[Raven] Bye. -Bye.

[car engine humming]

[Shawn] But, babe, you know, I'mma head into New York

for a week for that Curry project.

You gonna be all right?

I mean, to a certain extent.

-[chuckles] -I'll be all right.

Plus, T got me.

Yeah, that's exactly what I'm worried about.

[laughter]

Oh, stop it.

You know I got your girl's back.

-Uh-hmm. -All right.

-Safe travels. -Thank you.

-I'm really gonna miss you. -I'll miss you, too.

Hmm. Please call me once you land.

I will.

[ominous music]

-Hey, Annie. -Got a sec?

Sure. What's up?

I just wanted to say thank you again so much

for being so nice to me.

I hope the flowers weren't too much.

Not at all.

It was actually very sweet of you.

I have a really hard time expressing myself,

so I was hoping the flowers would help me do that.

It's okay.

I actually know what it's like to be a loner.

In fact, before I became who I was,

I was one myself.

-Really? -[Raven] Oh, my God. Yes.

I was the skinny underdeveloped girl

in middle school.

None of the boys paid attention to me.

But I was smart.

So, I focused on myself

and I did everything I could

to learn and dominate the nursing industry.

That's how I became who I am today.

Hard work, focus.

I'm just glad you don't think I'm a weirdo.

Of course not.

No one's ever cared about me enough

to even compliment me.

So, I appreciate you.

[Raven] Hey, don't sweat it.

You know, you've actually been very helpful for me, too.

I don't know how I would have accomplished

half of this stuff around here lately.

So, thank you.

It's my pleasure.

[keyboard clacking]

Thank you so much for staying late, Annie.

I really did not expect the 19-hour labor.

That's what I'm here for.

-You want me to lock up? -Thank you.

I'll see you tomorrow.

Night.

[elevator dings]

[ominous music]

Annie?

Oh. Hey, boss.

Are you taking the bus?

Uh, yeah.

My car is in the shop again.

Busted transmission.

I'll take you home.

There's no way I'm gonna let you take the bus.

-Get in. -Oh, no.

It's okay. I'm totally fine.

I wouldn't wanna inconvenience you.

Get your butt in here.

[ominous music]

Where's your building? We passed it?

No, it's right here.

You live in a homeless shelter?

It's not as bad as it seems.

I promise. I'm okay, really.

Thank you again.

[ominous music]

Thank you!

Just one bed.

I'm sorry. Fully booked.

-Nothing? -[man] None. Not tonight.

Are you sure?

Please, there has to be one.

You have to be here before 8:00.

-I'm sorry. -[sighs]

Are you sure you're good?

Yeah, I'm fine.

Uh, I'll be okay.

What was that guy talking about?

Huh?

I saw him shake his head no.

[sighs]

It's just... there's no more beds after 8:00

and usually, when this happens,

I sleep in my car, which is in the shop.

So, it's fine. It's okay.

Let's go. You're coming with me.

[crickets chirping]

How could you not tell me that you live

in a homeless shelter?

I just...I didn't wanna cause you anymore stress.

You've already done so much for me.

But what about your sister?

How can anyone allow their family

to stay in a shelter?

No. She doesn't know.

Um, I mean, she has a husband and a kid.

-I don't wanna be a burden. -Annie,

I really admire your willingness

to not wanna inconvenience people,

but it's okay to ask for help sometimes.

I know. It's just... I like to do things on my own.

[Raven] I get it. But being independent

doesn't mean you have to be stupid either.

Yeah, I guess you're right.

Look.

I can't have someone working under me

live in a homeless shelter.

Why don't you stay with me for a while

until you find your own place?

And starting tomorrow,

I will give you a raise.

Oh, my gosh.

You will definitely be making enough money

to get yourself your own place.

Raven, thank you so much.

Absolutely.

Now, come on. Let me go show you to your room.

My own room?

Of course.

-Oh. -Come on. I'll show you.

[shower running]

[exhales]

Are you kidding me? She's a stranger.

Shh.

She's in the next room sleeping.

And she's not a stranger, T.

She's been my assistant for almost four months now.

She's been over plenty of times.

-I trust her. -You trust her?

You can never trust people all the way these days.

You're right. But I am a good judge of character.

And she really does need my help.

And plus, Shawn is always in and out of town.

I can use the company.

Well, I'm right next door. You have me.

Do I sense a little jealousy, bestie?

[Tiyana] What? No, I'm just trying

to be a concerned friend.

You have to be careful.

Have you done a background criminal check

on this chick? 'Cause I don't trust it.

Already done.

You think I will have somebody working for my company

if I didn't do a background check?

Come on. You know me.

I'm a grown woman

and I always take care of myself.

Okay.

Don't worry, T.

I'll be fine. Trust me.

It's ridiculous.

Well, I'm not too sure about that,

but I will send you the address so you have it just in case.

Oh, okay, sis. I got to go. I love you.

Okay. Bye.

Who was that? Your sister?

Yeah. She's really happy for me.

Aww, can't wait to meet her.

Oh, you're going to soon.

She's dying to meet you.

[Raven] Hey, look. It's actually a slow day today.

What do you say we get out of here early

-and get something to eat? -Oh, I'd love to.

Let's go.

-[slow music] -[singer] ♪ Ooh... ♪

[Raven] It was one of the toughest situations

I've ever had to deal with.

The actual OB-GYN had car trouble that day.

I had no choice but to step in for her.

You were so young.

Why would they even put you in that situation?

I was the nurse, so I knew everything there was

to know about the patient.

In fact, I was more than qualified

to handle the delivery.

Do you--do you mind if I ask what happened?

Like, why did the baby die?

I'm sorry.

Oh, it's fine.

And if you don't wanna talk about it,

I totally understand.

It's okay.

[singer] ♪ In the whole wide world ♪

♪ You're the only... ♪

I remember like it was yesterday.

Daniella Morgan.

And she's my first real delivery

in a hospital.

She was completely unaware of...

all the risks that came with her pregnancy.

Because of that,

I was put in a tough choice.

I had to make a choice whether...

she lived or the baby.

God. Raven, I am so sorry.

That had to be the hardest decision to make.

That led me here.

That's why it's so important for me

to educate women

on everything that they need to know

when it comes to their pregnancy.

Since then, I...

Thankfully,

I haven't lost the baby since.

That is an amazing story, Raven.

I am truly in awe of your bravery.

I just...

I don't think I could have done what you did.

Let's eat.

Morning, roomie.

Hi, Annie.

I forgot I had a doctor's appointment early this morning.

So busy being a doctor, sometimes you forget

you need to check up on yourself.

At 6:00 AM?

It's actually at 7:30,

but you know how traffic is on a Friday morning

going into the city.

Don't you think this is something

-I should have known about? -It's fine.

It has nothing to do with my business.

But it has to do with your life

and your life has to do with your schedule,

which I'm in charge of, and why you hired me.

How am I supposed to help you get more organized

if I don't have all the information?

I said it's fine.

It's not that serious, Annie.

No, it is that serious.

One second you say you need my help,

the next it's not that serious?

I'm sorry. Um...

[sighs] I didn't get a lot of rest last night

and, um, I just like to be super-efficient

because I would hate to do anything

to ruin this opportunity.

Annie, have a seat.

Let's get one thing clear.

In my house, I do not appreciate being questioned,

especially when it has to do with my personal dealings.

Do you understand me?

Yes, of course. I'm so sorry, boss.

Now, I understand why you're concerned,

especially because you're handling my schedule.

And honestly, I'm not used to having

someone on top of everything like this for me.

Again, I...I'm a little tired

and when I get tired, I get a little grumpy.

Um, but this will never happen again.

I promise you, boss.

Okay, great.

And cut the boss. Call me Rae.

Take a Uber into work today.

Use the company card.

Please have my coffee hot and on my desk.

I'll see you at work.

[exhales deeply]

Why are you so stupid, Annie?

You cannot [indistinct] like that.

Rae.

I like Rae.

-Got you. -Oh, my gosh.

You sacred me.

What are you doing here?

Wait, how did you even get in here?

Backdoor was open.

I called up a couple of times, but you don't answer,

so I just let myself in.

Sis, you look so happy

and relaxed for a change.

This new job, new environment

-looks good on you. -Thanks, sis.

So, what's up? We still hanging out later?

-Of course. -Good.

I'mma go run a couple errands and, uh, I see you soon.

-I love you. -I love you too.

[dramatic music]

[indistinct chatter]

All right. Yes, about 2 o'clock, we'll get that done

and, uh, we'll meet back here.

Uh, do me a favor. Put this on my desk, all right?

-All right, sir. -All right. Thanks, man.

Uh, oh, shoot.

-Hello? -[Shawn] Hello?

It's about time you called.

I've been worried sick about you.

Whoa, whoa, whoa. What are you talking about?

I text you, like, 30 times,

you didn't respond to any of my call.

You would go straight to voicemail.

Shawn, do not play me for stupid.

You know I don't have any calls or missed texts from you.

What are you talking about? Check your phone, Rae.

I'm not gonna do this with you, Shawn.

There's no texts or missed calls.

Well, maybe there's something wrong with your phone.

Why else would I call you in your work phone?

Are we really gonna do this again?

All right, listen, we talked about this, right?

We said we were gonna leave that alone

and not bring it up again, right?

Yeah? Then what am I supposed to think

with you not even calling me?

I did call you.

Shawn, we need you out here right now.

-All right. Give me a minute. -All right.

Listen, I don't have time for this conversation right now,

so you need to check your phone before you start accusing me.

No, no, no. Listen to me. I will call you later.

-Bye. -Hello?

Hello.

[knocks on door]

Men problems?

Does he become stupid?

I have already allowed him to get away

with cheating on me one time.

I'm not gonna allow it to ever happen again.

Men think they can do whatever they want with no consequence.

I don't know.

It's like I wanna believe him.

But I don't even know if I could trust him.

Maybe you can't.

That's the thing about men.

You never know.

Long-distance relationships never work, Raven.

If you don't have trust, you don't have anything.

You know what? You're right.

Maybe I just need some time away from him.

Look, I'm here now

and anyone who messes with you has to deal with me.

[chuckles]

But for real, if it's meant to be,

it'll work itself out.

Try not to stress too much.

Thanks, Annie.

[singer singing indistinctly]

I don't know, Rae.

Isn't it completely weird living with a stranger?

I mean, inquiring minds wanna know.

[chuckles]

By inquiring minds, does that mean you?

Yes. [makes sound]

[laughter]

It's gonna take some time to get used to it.

But it's good.

-I like the company. -Okay.

Well, the other day, I saw her leaving your house

and she looks a little off to me.

She's just a little socially awkward,

but she's super sweet.

She even brought me flowers.

[chuckles]

Even weirdos do nice things.

-T, stop calling her a weirdo. -Weirdo.

I mean, you would actually like her

if you guys got a chance to know each other.

Oh, no. I'm like what Drake said.

You know, he said, "No new friends."

-Girl. -No new friends.

-Get the... -[chuckles]

-Hey, Annie. -Hey, Rae.

So the annual "Medical Cares" event is tonight.

A bunch of people from the medical field will be there.

Super boring.

It's actually something that I go to every year alone.

And I was hoping this year I didn't have to.

So what do you say? Tonight at 8:00? Girls night?

Sure.

Hey, do we know what's going on with the patient from 225?

Yes.

[indistinct chatter]

[piano music]

Biggest donation of the night, so cheers to you guys.

-See you soon. -[indistinct chatter]

[piano music]

Hi. How are you?

I have to thank you personally.

You and your father coming up

with this great insurance program.

-It's been so long... -[indistinct chatter]

It's [indistinct] it's so liberating.

-It's just... -[indistinct chatter]

Just [indistinct] but thank you so much for coming.

-Cheers. -[glasses clink]

I didn't think you'd show up.

I told you I'd be here.

Tell me what's wrong.

It's just...

all these doctors and medical people,

it's like they speak a different language,

and just... I feel so out of place.

Yeah, I don't fit in here compared to all these people.

It's giving me anxiety.

Annie,

you are perfect the way you are.

You don't need to be like these people.

That's what makes you so special.

You are who you are, no matter where you are.

You never fit in.

That's the problem though, sis.

I've always wanted to.

Raven, she's just...

so beautiful and perfect.

I just... I wish I was more like her.

Stop. Please.

You're gonna make me not like Raven

if she's making you feel bad about yourself.

It's not like that, Heather.

And don't start getting jealous.

That never works out well for us.

[exhales] Look.

Fine.

I just had a moment,

but I'll be okay.

And Raven is a good person.

She cares about me.

She would never do anything to hurt me.

She just wants me to be happy.

Yeah. We'll see about that.

I'll keep my eye on her.

-[piano music] -[indistinct chattering]

Thank you for coming, sis.

Come on and let me introduce you to Rae.

Another night.

Tonight, I just wanted to be here for my sis.

-I love you. -I love you, too. Come here.

Go and have fun.

Annie?

Are you okay?

Yeah. Um, I was just, uh, fixing my makeup.

Annie, you and I both know

you know nothing about fixing makeup.

Why were you crying?

It's nothing. I'm fine.

Come on.

You can talk to me.

It's just that I don't fit in here.

It's like I look around and...

you and all your colleagues are just...

so fashionable and beautiful.

I'm just...I'm nothing like you.

Annie, you are just as beautiful

as any of the women that are here.

Thanks, I guess.

And I didn't hire you to be like me.

I hired you

because you are fantastic at what you do.

And that just so happens to be you being you.

You hired me because you felt bad for me.

That too but, you know...

[chuckles]

Point is, is that I really like you.

And not only have you been a great assistant,

but you're becoming a good friend.

And it doesn't matter what you wear or how you look.

Just I've never fit in.

It's like anywhere I go I'm always the oddball.

My sister used to always try to make me feel better

about being weird, but for once in my life

I don't want to be the one who stands out.

You made me feel good about myself.

And it just...it makes me wanna be a different me.

I got an idea.

Now, this, my dear,

is what I call pure perfection.

Oh, my gosh.

How did you even do this?

Look how stunning you are.

You really think so?

Girl, come here. Look at yourself.

Come here.

Look at yourself.

Oh, my gosh.

-You're stunning. -Wait.

This is like a whole new Annie.

[chuckles]

This outfit.

[chuckles]

I love it.

I love you.

Thank you.

Thank you so much.

[sighs]

[doorbell dings]

What are you doing here, Shawn?

-Rae, what's going on? -Wait.

Do you want me to call the police?

Because we can get rid of him.

The police?

You mind your business.

It's okay, Annie.

Just give us some privacy, please.

-I'll be in my room. -[sighs]

Rae, I've been missing you.

I am not going to do this with you, Shawn.

And you know what else I'm not gonna do?

I'm not gonna let you hurt me again.

All right. First of all, you need to listen for a minute.

I've been texting you. I've been calling you,

trying to figure out, my phone was broken.

I literally called the cell phone company

to find out why I couldn't reach you.

You're so full of crap, Shawn.

You called me, but yet I have no missed calls from you.

You text me, but yet I have no messages.

Why is that Shawn?

I don't have any idea why, okay? I don't know why.

But I left you several messages at your office.

I was gonna write you a letter, Rae.

Literally, freaking write you a letter.

Listen to yourself.

Does it even make sense?

Hey, listen, I have been trying

to reach you for two weeks.

Why do you think I'm here?

Hmm? Check your phone, Rae.

Just check your phone.

[Raven] Like I said, nothing.

Call my phone.

Your contact was blocked?

-This doesn't even make sense. -Let me see that.

-I... -That's the problem right there.

Yeah. Somebody was playing with your phone

or you really wasn't trying to hear from me.

I'm sorry.

I should have believed you.

Baby, it's okay. I don't blame you.

I would have thought that, too.

Let's not even talk about this anymore.

Listen, I promise you that I would never hurt you again,

and I meant that.

I'm here for the long haul.

[sighs] Baby, you have no idea how much I missed you.

-I missed you too, babe. -[sighs]

-I'm so sorry. -It's okay.

Let's get out of here.

You need to go home and come stay with me.

[Annie] He loves her,

he loves her not.

He loves her,

he loves her not.

[chuckles]

He loves her,

he loves her not.

[foreboding music]

[door slams]

[chuckles]

-Have fun last night? -[gasps]

Oh, my God, Annie.

You scared me.

What are you doing up so early?

I was worried about you.

I couldn't sleep.

Aw, Annie.

You don't have to worry about me.

Where were you last night?

Excuse me?

That is my business.

I'm sorry.

And I thought I already told you,

I don't appreciate you questioning me in my own house.

It's just...it's not like you would stay out all night.

I thought something happened to you.

Well, I'm sorry you were worried, Annie.

But the last time I checked,

I'm a grown ass woman that can do as she pleases.

In fact,

I'm old enough to be your mother.

You, you are just like Heather,

selfish and unthoughtful.

You know, you could have at least called me or texted me

to let me know you weren't coming home last night.

What if something did happen to you?

Who am I supposed to call and what am I supposed to do

if I don't know where you are,

what you're doing, or who you're doing it with?

Wow.

Well, I apologize, Annie.

I could have called,

but I didn't.

Annie, you are not my mother

nor you my husband,

so I really wanna understand

why it is you're coming at me this way.

I'm sorry. You're right.

I just...I freaked out.

I haven't slept and I was out all night with my sister.

Listen, Annie,

I don't think you realize your actions lately.

That alone proves just how tired you really are.

Maybe you should take a day off from work

-and catch up on your rest. -Oh, yeah.

And where should I go? Back to the shelter?

Um, I'm sorry. Um...

I'm so sorry. I...

Um, that was extremely...

it was uncalled for and you do...

way too much for me to act like that. It's just...

I've been hanging out with Heather way too much.

And my emotions, they're so out of whack.

I...honestly, I'm just...

I'm really glad you're home safe.

Oh, my God.

-Did Shawn propose? -Yeah.

Girl, is that where you were all night?

You sneaky little you?

You know, you should have told me you were with your man.

-Can you believe it? -It's beautiful.

He proposed last night and I said, yes.

The same man you told me you never wanted

to see or speak to again. [chuckles]

God. [chuckles]

You know, you're a real piece of work, Raven.

Ouch, Annie.

I know what I said,

but just so you know,

this time that I've spent away from Shawn

has helped me realized how much I'm in love with him.

Well, I'm happy for you.

I guess that means I'll be having a look

for that place sooner than we thought, right?

Actually, no, Annie.

There's no rush.

Me and Shawn have decided to take things extremely slow.

And to be honest with you,

outside of your little antics and you're trying

to make me feel like a child in my own home,

I actually really enjoy

your company here as my roommate.

Annie, you're more than welcome to stay here

and take as much time as you need.

But seriously, enough is enough.

Congrats again.

[foreboding music]

[Tiyana] [chuckles] All right. Let me see it.

Ooh. I love it. Wow.

Girl, I can't believe it's finally happening.

I can't believe it's finally happening.

You think I'm ready, T?

Oh, yeah. You're ready.

I don't know what took you so long

or better yet, what took him so long?

[Raven chuckles]

So what did weirdo Welma have to say about it?

T, stop.

I mean, she's happy.

But, you know, now that I think of it,

this morning, she really did spook me.

So I went spent the night with Shawn.

I got back this morning and she was awake.

She was really upset and she was questioning

my whereabouts like I was some child.

She apologized and said she was worried,

which I get only because, I mean,

I'm always in bed no later than 11:00

-and we're always together. -[Tiyana] See, Rae?

I told you about that girl.

You need to get her out of your house.

I mean, she has enough money to get her own place.

She'll be moving soon.

Yeah. Well, sooner is better

than later with that one.

Mmm. We need another round of shot.

Excuse me. Can I get a double, please?

Thank you.

Great news, everyone.

We officially have a new investment company

that's gonna sponsor us, which means

I get the opportunity

to officially expand my practice.

-Woo! -[applauding]

Yes!

0Yay!

And the Wellington Company

only picks one independent business a year.

And this year they chose us!

So I'm really thinking we should do

a big social media push.

You know, something to just give us more exposure.

We definitely need that.

No offense, Rae, but times are changing

and I think it's time for us to just, you know, keep up.

[chuckles]

Annie, I don't recall asking

for any suggestions at the moment.

I'm sorry if I spoke out of place.

I just...I was just trying to help.

It's fine.

Amanda, do you mind?

What the hell was that, Annie?

-I'm sorry. I thought that-- -What?

That you could make a suggestion while I was talking?

You don't speak when the boss is speaking,

especially in front of my staff.

I already said I was sorry a hundred times.

You need to understand the difference

between business and personal.

At home, I am your friend,

but here, I am your boss.

And you have to follow protocol, otherwise,

you will be looking for another job.

Family doesn't follow protocol, Raven.

So either we're family or we're not.

And you will have to understand that

or you will be looking for a new assistant.

[ominous music]

[crickets chirping]

[Annie] Okay. You have got to try this.

I will.

-Mmm. It's good, right? -Yeah. That's good.

-Mmm. -Hi.

Hi, baby. Hey, you did not tell me

that Annie know how to throw down

like this in the kitchen.

You know how I love me some good cooking.

She says she does it all the time.

Funny, I didn't realize you were the chef type.

No. Well, a girl can't reveal

all her special talents at once.

[chuckles]

Matching aprons?

Oh. Yeah, yeah. It was--it was Annie's idea.

She says you like it and you get a kick out of it.

[both chuckles]

You learn something new every day.

Yeah. My sister and I grew up in a cooking household.

We used to always help my mother out in the kitchen.

My sis was always better than me at everything, though.

She was everyone's favorite.

Always doing everything right.

Then there was little Annie,

couldn't do anything right.

I always looked up to my sister,

even though she was younger than me.

I wanted to be just like her.

My mother had to give me special treatment

because she knew I was only second best.

Just like you Rae.

You always treat me extra special.

[chuckles]

[sighs]

My mother was a mess.

Nothing like you, Raven.

You are perfect.

You're more than mother to me than I ever had.

[mouthing]

[Annie] I figured out that you don't know how to cook.

Hey, not totally. I've been cooking since

I was a little kid, you know.

[laughter]

Crazy.

-Oh, my God. -Oh, cheers.

-Thank you so much for the help. -Cheers. Yeah. Anytime.

Anytime. Because you're gonna help me later.

Yes. Yes.

Listen, listen, our little secret now.

Most of the time.

We have got to be quiet.

If Raven knew you were without me asking,

she would flip.

When are you going to tell her I've been living here?

-It's been a minute. -I know.

But like Raven says, timing is everything.

I just...I don't wanna do anything to upset Raven.

She's already letting me stay here.

She's done a lot for me already.

I've got to get my attitude in check.

[sighs]

Annie, would you relax?

You need to stop letting this job control you.

[knocks on door]

-Hey, Annie. -Hey.

Who are you talking to?

Oh. I was just on the phone with Heather.

Actually, she wanted me to ask you

if it would be okay for her to come visit soon?

Sure. Anytime.

What are you doing down here?

Shouldn't you be upstairs

with your fiance having a good time?

-[chuckles] -Yeah.

Just wanted to check on you before bed.

See you in the morning?

Sweet dreams.

Night, Rae.

I told you. You're gonna get us caught.

Never.

That was a close one.

Now, if you wanna get rid of Shawn,

I've got the perfect plan.

Really? How?

[suspenseful music]

[indistinct chatter]

[Annie giggling] Wait.

-That was not okay. -[Shawn] Yeah, seriously.

[Annie giggles] Like hold on a second.

-[Shawn] [indistinct] -[Annie] No.

[Shawn] You know, like, obviously,

I know that you guys didn't think that I've been discreet.

[Annie] Yeah, [giggles] like, hold on a second.

-[Raven clears throat] -[Annie] Hi.

-[clears throat] -[Annie] Good morning.

I was actually, uh, just coming to wake you guys up,

hoping I can make us all breakfast.

Um...

that's awfully thoughtful of you, Annie.

[chuckles]

But Shawn and I are gonna be spending some time together.

-[chuckles] -We're going out to eat.

Oh. Awesome.

How about I just go right in and put some clothes on

and we can all just go?

Oh. No, like, together

as in like a date.

You know, like quality time.

You know how it is.

Yeah. Of course. [chuckles]

You guys do deserve some alone time

without little ole me.

-Yes, we sure do. -Uh-hmm.

[laughter]

Hey, Annie.

Uh, maybe tomorrow morning you could cook us

some breakfast.

Hmm?

Actually, yeah. I would like that.

Okay, cool. I know the perfect thing to make.

All right. As long as it's French toast.

I got you.

Have fun, guys.

I'd put in those strawberries on them.

[laughter]

-Well, are you ready? -I'm ready.

[singer] ♪ Oh ♪

♪ Facing the truth is breaking us down ♪

[Shawn] I don't understand why we gotta keep

looking for a house. You should just move in with me.

[Raven] Shawn, I already told you.

I want a fresh start.

A new house, new environment.

-Uh-hmm. -A new me.

-Uh-hmm. -And you.

-Hmm. I like that. -[chuckles]

Well, whatever my baby wants, my baby gets.

I'm a little worried about Annie.

Don't be worried about Annie.

She'd be all right.

[chuckles]

You don't know Annie like I do.

She doesn't have much friends except for me.

Listen, this is about us.

This is about you, this is about me.

our new life together.

Annie, she'll figure it out.

Trust me, all right?

-I trust you. -You better do.

Damn, you're so fine, baby.

Ooh. Just ask. What's happening?

Don't play with me. Don't play with me now.

-Don't play with me now. -[chuckles]

-Hold on. -Who's messing up the mood?

-T, of course. -Okay. Okay.

[laughs]

Hello?

Hey, girl.

Yeah, do you mind stopping by my place in the morning?

Yeah, I'm gonna stay over at Shawn's.

You can find the key under the mat.

All right, girl. I'll see you tomorrow.

-Everything cool? -Uh-hmm.

All right, now. I'm taking care of this hand

'cause this is the hand I want you to spank me with.

Mmm, like hug me and so I can spank you.

[chuckles]

[distant police siren wailing]

[suspenseful music]

Annie?

Annie?

I told Raven this girl was crazy.

[Raven] I get this is my house, but I don't know.

This feels so invasive, wrong.

I mean, this is her personal belongings.

Rae, are you on crack or something?

This girl is living in your house with a bag

full of creepy stuff.

Not to mention pics of you in it.

Doesn't it seem a little weird to you?

It is a little suspect.

A little?

Raven, you need to call the police.

You're so dramatic, T.

What if I inspire her?

I mean, these are public articles.

There's nothing really wrong with that.

Okay. You keep telling yourself that.

"Where is your sister?"

Huh?

Nothing, T.

T, do me a favor, I gotta make a quick run.

Just meet me back here in a couple of hours.

I'll call you as soon as I get back.

Okay.

-What the? -Oh, my.

Yeah, I wanted to just see if you needed fresh towels.

And you needed Tiyana's help with that?

I was just leaving.

Going through my stuff now?

I was actually just looking for something.

I wasn't trying to invade your privacy.

Where were you?

-We needed toilet paper. -Oh. Thanks.

Oh, um, I checked out some of those apartments,

and I think I found one I really like.

They say I can move in next week.

You're supposed to come with me.

What happened? You got caught up with Shawn?

Yeah, actually, we just came back from same places ourselves.

How fun.

You know, being in the shelter so long,

and then here, I kinda forgot

what it feels like to be alone.

I'm actually a little nervous.

What about your sister?

You can go stay with her for a while.

You guys have been spending a lot of time together

lately, right?

Yeah, but, you know, she has a husband

and a whole life,

so she doesn't really have a lot of time for me.

No one has time for me.

Except you, Rae.

But I guess that's, um, kinda changed now

since you're leaving me too.

Ah. Annie, I'm not leaving you.

It's just that me and Shawn wanna start

a new life together.

Yeah?

And where was Shawn when you needed him most?

Hmm? Off with another woman not worried

about you or your feelings.

That is not fair, Annie.

In fact, you don't even know the situation.

But it's just...it seems to me like I'm the only one

who's been here for you.

I mean, even when Randy quit.

It was me who stepped in.

Me! No one else.

I'm the one who helped you get your life back together.

And now the cheater Shawn

just gets to get all your attention

and you're just gonna kick me to the side?

It is not like that, Annie.

It's just what happens when two people are in love.

Don't you know what it's like?

No.

I do not know what that's like.

No one loves me like that.

I mean, look at me,

I am nothing like you.

I will never be someone's first choice.

You are so young and so beautiful.

And you have such a bright future ahead of you.

Yeah, thanks to you.

You're the one who made me feel like life is worth living again.

Like I was actually worth something.

Annie, you've always been a somebody.

In fact, I promise you,

everything is gonna work out for you.

Listen, I have to run a few errands,

I'll be back in a couple hours.

How about me and you just sit down

and have a glass of wine and have some girl talk?

Yes, please.

I would love that.

Okay. See you later.

You know you can be first choice, if you wanted to.

What do you mean?

That's impossible.

No, it's not.

You can if you want to.

I can never be pretty like Rae.

If you wanna look like Raven, then do it.

How?

[birds chirping]

[doorbell dings]

Come on in.

Uh, I gotta tell you it's, uh, it's so good to hear

my Annie is alive and well, you know?

Have a sit.

-[whistling kettle] -[Raven] Thank you.

I don't understand.

When was the last time you spoke to Annie?

I'm sorry.

Have some tea.

It's been, uh...

[chuckles]

it's been too long

right after her mother passed.

I'm so sorry to hear that.

Yeah.

Some days are worse than others

and some days...

my memories, yeah, they keep me smiling.

[laughs]

And you...I'm sorry, drink up.

Thanks.

You seem like such a sweet lady.

Uh, I'm sorry...

what'd you say your name was again?

Raven. Raven Fields.

And, uh, Ms. Fields,

how do you know my Annie?

We actually work together.

Here...

here's my business card, you can find my cell phone

and my home phone listed right on the back.

Mr. Dotson,

I honestly can't help but be confused.

Why would Annie tell me you were deceased?

Yeah. That's my Annie.

She, uh, she often says things

that aren't true.

I like to call her a little special.

I can definitely see that.

Can you tell me more about Annie's sister?

She tells me so much about her.

-Heather? -Yes, Heather.

Were they always so close?

Who are you?

Are you a cop?

I'm not letting you put my baby back in some box.

Mr. Dotson, I am so sorry.

I did not mean to offend you.

With all due respect, Ms. Fields,

I'd like to ask you to leave my house now.

-I am so sorry, Mr.-- -I said get out.

Get out!

[suspenseful music]

Do you like it?

Are you serious?

I hope you don't mind.

I got this out of your closet and Heather helped me.

Looks good on you.

Thanks, mom.

Oh, um, I'm sorry.

That totally slipped out.

I mean, thanks, Rae. [giggles]

[Raven] Annie, we seriously have to have a talk.

Oh, yes. Definitely, I wouldn't love to talk.

But I'm actually running late to meet Heather.

Um, but when I get back, please let's talk.

[chuckles]

[Tiyana] Hmm, Rae, you need to get this girl

out of your house.

She sounds crazy. And her dad sounds crazy too.

Look, I tried to warn you, but you wouldn't listen.

Now, you're living with a psycho.

It's not as easy as you make it seem, T.

Something clearly happened to this girl.

And I'm not putting her out on the street.

[Tiyana] Well, then, call the Police.

She might be crazier than what we think.

[suspenseful music]

[Tiyana] Look, if you want my help, I can call

my uncle's friend's cousin, he's a police officer.

But I can't do that.

She may be strange but she's not a bad person.

[Tiyana] Raven, the things you're telling me

about this chick, she seems like she needs a strait jacket.

Probably the same one she just came out of.

[Raven] I'll talk to her tonight.

She did mention she'll be moving out in the next week or so,

maybe there's somewhere else she could stay.

[Tiyana] Uh-uh. Uh-uh.

You need to do this quicker than that.

Look, if you want me to do it,

I'll get her out of here.

You always have my back, T.

But I think I got this one.

Ain't nobody gonna run me out of my house.

All right.

Look, I'mma call and check on you.

But if you need me, you know I'm right next door.

-I love you. -I love you, too.

[crickets chirping]

-[man] [indistinct] -[woman] That was amazing.

[man] I mean, I just started but...

it's about my mom.

[suspenseful music]

[woman] I think [indistinct]

[man] She died a year ago.

Hmm.

[man] I'm right here [indistinct]

[woman] All right [indistinct]

[sighs]

[woman] [indistinct] I should provide you.

[man] Yeah.

She's actually the one who encouraged me to

[indistinct] do interviews.

[sighs]

[bottles clinks]

[indistinct chatter on TV]

[man] You're the best.

[woman] I say anybody [indistinct]

[bottle pops]

[suspenseful music]

[Tiyana screams]

[grunts and groans]

[suspenseful music]

[woman] [indistinct]

Coming, mom.

[suspenseful music]

[Raven] Hello?

Is this Ms. Fields?

[Raven] Yes, this is.

You know, you, uh--

you seemed like such a sweet lady.

[Raven] Mr. Dotson, is everything okay?

No.

No, it's not.

Not for you anyway.

You asked about the other sister.

Annie is an only child.

I mean, she's supposed to have a sister.

A twin, actually.

During her mother's labor, there were complications.

[doctor] Donna.

[Marcus] It was either save the baby or save the mother.

And that day, well...

that doctor chose the mother.

Her twin died.

[Raven sighs]

When Annie was four years old,

she started imagining she had a sister.

Thank you, you show up.

She would play with her, talk to her.

I love you, sis.

[Marcus] I mean, to Annie, she was real.

When are you going to tell her I've been living here?

-[Raven] Hey, Annie. -Hey.

Who are you talking to?

[Marcus] But listen to me, you're in danger.

If Annie's telling you Heather is

anywhere around, you need to call the police.

Heather doesn't exist.

I know, because I killed her.

[Marcus] What are you talking about?

[Raven] I'll call you back.

[suspenseful music]

Annie, it was an accident.

I was just a kid myself.

I tried everything.

I had no choice.

[Annie] You had a choice.

You chose to save my crackhead mother over Heather.

Listen to me.

Your mother was extremely unhealthy.

She went into shock.

Your sister just didn't survive.

It wasn't my fault.

It is your fault.

It's all your fault I had to grow up alone.

Can you imagine how exciting

it would have been to have a twin?

All the opportunities I would have had, the fun.

Instead, I had to grow up with an abusive mother

who blamed me for killing her baby.

And she beat me every day.

But it was you.

You're the one who killed Heather, not me!

And now you're gonna pay.

Annie, I'm your friend.

I'm the only one that would help you.

I can help you now.

You don't care about me.

You're just like the rest of them, pretending to care.

You just wanna get rid of me so you and Shawn

can live happily ever after.

We can get you professional help if that's what you need.

You don't have to go through this alone.

You're just gonna let her talk to you like that?

Like, you're the liar, knowing mom was the crazy one?

Not right now, Heather.

[Raven] Annie...

is she here with us now?

You really don't see her, right?

She's right there, right next to you.

Annie...

there's nobody here but me and you.

Set your keys down, Raven.

Tell her to sit down.

Sit down, Raven.

I said sit!

Okay. Clam down.

I'm sitting. I'm sitting.

Calm down.

You really...you don't see her?

[Heather] She is really playing with your mind, Annie.

We've got to get rid of her just like we did

the neighbor and mom and the rest of them.

Because if we don't get rid of her,

she's gonna try and get rid of you.

And we are not going back to that place again.

-Do you hear me? -Heather, stop!

Raven is my only friend.

She's the only one who's been here for me.

She took me in.

She took care of me...

like a real mom.

[Raven] Annie, there's no one here

but me and you.

Rae, why?

Why can't we have the family I never had?

We can.

[Heather] Wow.

You're really just gonna try and get rid of me

for this woman that you don't even know?

I'm your family, Annie, not her.

Heather, shut up!

[Heather] Yeah? Well, make me.

[Raven] Annie...

Heather's dead.

Please.

I can get you help. We can get help together.

Please.

You know, I am sick and tired of you

telling me that I need help.

It's kind of pissing me off.

You're the one who needs help, Raven.

You're the murderer.

You killed Heather and then you made me

kill my mother because she would not stop hurting me!

And now I guess I got to kill Shawn too

because all he's gonna do is just tell on me.

And we are not going back in that box again!

So, yeah, I'm really feeling

like we're all just gonna have to die here,

me, you, Heather, and Shawn.

Annie, put the gun down.

No one has to die.

It's okay. It's gonna be okay.

-We're all gonna be together. -[Raven] No, Annie.

She clearly does not care about you

the way that she thought she does.

You know what, you're right, Heather.

Why do I even try, you know?

And who would actually even want to be my friend?

I'm your friend, Annie.

In fact, you're like the daughter I never had.

Really?

Why else would I have done all of this?

Wait. You really look at me like I'm your daughter?

[Raven] Think about it.

You needed me and I needed you

and we needed each other.

[Heather] Kill her, Annie.

She doesn't deserve you.

Shut up, Heather!

-Shut up! -[gunshots]

Annie? Please, sweetie.

Please. Don't hurt me.

I'm not gonna hurt you, Rae.

-Annie, please. -I'm not.

I'm not gonna hurt you. I got this for Shawn.

We're gonna finally get rid of him.

It's gonna be me and you.

We're gonna be mother and daughter.

Just like you said, we need each other.

[Shawn] Babe, what's going on? I heard this noise.

-No! -[gunshot]

[grunts and groans]

[suspenseful music]

Die, bitch.

[Annie coughs]

[suspenseful music]

[indistinct] Rae!

I'm gonna kill you!

[suspenseful music]

Baby! Baby, you [indistinct]

[screams] Baby!

[grunts and groans]

[suspenseful music]

[screams]

[gunshot]

[Raven] Thank God.

[panting]

[dramatic music]

-[sobbing] -Come on. Now call 911.

-Is Shawn okay? -Yeah. He's breathing.

-Come on. -[Raven sobbing]

Shh. It's gonna be okay.

[dramatic music]

-Mail. -Hi, Kevin.

You can leave it right by my door.

You got it, Mrs. Houston.

The same as well.

-You know-- -Oh, thank you.

---I enjoy your company. -No problem.

Oh, hello. Dr. Houston.

Oh. Here you go, boss.

You look like you could use this.

So, you're the new intern?

Hmm, something like that.
