All language subtitles for The.Chicken.Sisters.S01E01.Welcome.to.Merinac.Yall.1080p.AMZN.WEB-DL.DDP2.0.H.264-FLUX_track3_[eng]

You know those small southern towns,

where things are a little
slower and simpler...

And the gnats are plentiful.

Well, this is one of them.

Welcome to Merinac, y’all.
That’s what the sign says.

But it’s also what I say.

Ah-ha, welcome.

- Let me get that for you.
- Sure.

In Merinac you know your neighbors.

- Y’all have a great day.
- You too.

People are a little nicer here.

Oh!

Someone’s looking for an excuse

to bounce in front of
Pastor McGregor.

Well, nicer to your face.

I’ve seen more dressing
on a Thanksgiving turkey.

Mm.

Yep, everything is genteel.

Hi.

Until it’s not.

You take it back!

It’s Frannie’s!

It’s Mimi’s!

Who's Frannie and who's Mimi?

And why is this fella
losing teeth over them?

Over 100 years ago,

they helped found Merinac’s
Main Street.

They were two best friends
who were close as sisters.

Together they made near
perfect fried chicken.

Yes, they were living the dream.

Until they fell out.

They say it started when
Mimi had a bun in the oven

and Frannie found out
the daddy was her husband.

Mimi swore it wasn’t true,

but Frannie’s husband swore it was.

Who was right?
Who was wrong?

Now, I’m only nearly omniscient
so I can’t say for sure,

but I can say this.

Once those two split

everyone in Merinac picked sides.

You were either team Mimi’s
run by the Moores,

or team Frannie’s run by the Hilliers.

Or you were Amanda
Moore-Hillier.

Oooh-hoo!

Frank Jr.?

You up?

Hey you.

You bring home chicken?

Help yourself.

Hi there... Mister.

What?

It’s already 10:00pm.

It’s just- I’m ovulating.

I’ve had a long day.

Can you just cool your jets?

I don’t have forever.

I already gave you one, didn’t I?

How many dadgum kids
do you need, Amanda? Two?

Well, she’s all old and mean now.

Come on,

don’t you remember when
she was a little baby

and she would just sleep on your chest,

and she would make all those
little squirrel noises?

I need the business in a better place

before I can think about all that.

It’s not like we’re in the poor house.

Frannie’s always does well.
Business is fine.

Ahhh...

Fine.

Yeah, fine is exactly what
I want my legacy to be.

Goodnight.

‘Night.

The hit Home Living
Network series

Ultimate Kitchen Clash is back!

And this time it's personal.

We're looking for rival restaurants

with a special connection.

Dear friends with dueling delis?

You and your ex both serve tex-mex?

A brother and a mother
who serve hashbrowns

smothered and covered?

If you and a competing restaurant

in your town have beef, or serve beef,

this is your chance

to show off your food and finally resolve

who's the best at dishing
out your local specialty.

The prize?
Bragging rights.

And...

$100,000!

Amanda knew she was right in the center

of Merinac’s own kitchen clash.

But she hadn’t always been.

As a little one,

Amanda had never even
set foot in Frannie’s.

She had grown up at Mimi’s.
It was all she knew.

Come on. We gotta go
see about some chickens.

Get your feet off.

Just once I’d love to spend a Saturday

where I’m not deciding which
hens to send to their deaths.

Oh, Mae, hold the sass.

Amanda, do I need to hire a calligrapher

for your own personalized invitation

or are you gonna get
your butt in my truck?

Wait, me?

Yeah, you.
You’re old enough now.

It’s time you learned the family business.

Do I still have to go?

Fine.

This is the best day of my life!

Wow, that is truly sad.

Dang it to hell.

Those good for nothin’s beat us to it.

Alright, you two stay in the truck.

Jarvis! What the hell?!

Augusta, don’t go pitching a hissy fit.

Nancy, you just stay out of it!

This is between me and your
underhanded husband.

You’re calling me underhanded?
I’m not doing anything--

You know damn well--

We’re here to buy chickens just like you.

Who is that?

Oh, looks like you’re
not the only young one

learning the ropes.

Hey, little Frank!

In that moment,

a Mimi’s girl fell for a Frannie’s boy.

You may kiss the bride.

Sure, they were young.

But when you know, you know.

But you don’t believe
in pre-marital relations.

Woo!

Still, it should
have been the happiest day

of Amanda Moore-Hillier’s life.

Mama?

Mama?
Where are you going?

I’m leaving.
You made your choice.

My choice?

Between Frannie’s and Mimi’s.

You picked wrong, by the way.

Amanda, is everything alright?

Well, Miss Nancy,

I guess my Mama was just leaving.

Leaving?

Augusta, what about the reception?

The lemon curd cake we picked
out is not to be missed.

Oh.

I was upset because my daughter married

that dip stick son of my enemy,
but if there’s cake?

Oooh!

Mama, please.

Mae up and left.

How is me marrying
Frank Jr. worse?

‘Cause she up and left this town.

You up and left this family!

Oh, come on.

What happened 100 years ago

doesn’t have a thing to
do with me or who I love.

That might be the dumbest
thing you’ve ever said.

Oh, no, honey.

Don’t let that woman ruin
your beautiful day.

I know, pretty extreme,

but that’s just how it is in Merinac.

Besides, you got me now.

And you got him.

And the pain Amanda felt was soothed

by the balm of marital bliss.

You ready to go, Amanda?

I mean, just look at that fella.

Wouldn’t kick him out of
bed for eating crackers.

Back then.

Frank Jr.,

don’t you dare eat those on that bed.

There’s no decent food in this house.

What am I supposed to do?

But lately
Amanda was feeling

less bliss and more confusion.

Like she had picked out
the wrong life by mistake

and there were no returns.
How did this happen?

What in the heck is this?

Tofu.

Ugh.

Was this all there was to the circus?

Oh, you used to be that little.

What?

Nothing.

Would there be no more new beginnings?

Would her entire life be defined

by a food she didn’t even eat?

Amanda figured she could
ask herself questions

about why her life was the way it was,

or she would do something to change it.

Ok.

Ok.

Has uh, Frank Jr.
been drinking today?

Is it a day that ends in “Y”?

Mmm. Big Tim wants to talk to him.

Dang it, he’s already there.

Big Tim. How are ya?

Well, I’m fine.

I hope you are, little Frank.

The wife and I were wondering,

could you put an extra fry
on our drumsticks?

These just don’t quite have
that Frannie’s crunch.

Is that so?

Interesting.

This is Amanda.

Well, you’re the only
customer to complain.

That you heard about.

Ma’am?

Well, what my wife means is a
lot of the fellas at the club

feel like ever since
your father passed on--

Bless his memory.

Yes. But since he passed

it feels like the quality has slipped.

- The quality has slipped?
- Mmhmm.

Am I hearing you right,
Big Tim?

Come again?

Sabrina Sky.

Oh, I’m sorry, I thought
you said “Sabrina Sky”,

like from Kitchen Clash.

I did.

Kitchen Clash, the show?

Like on TV?

Technically, we’re streaming.

Anyway, great news.

Part of being a business owner
is taking customer feedback.

Hmm.

Is a huge part of your day
giving customer feedback

or do you keep most of that
feed for yourself?

Okay, I... I’m so sorry.

You know what?

Our fryer is on the fritz tonight

so I’m gonna bring y’all a new plate

and I’m gonna throw in
an order of pimento cheese

on the house, ok?

- Excuse us.
- Thank you.

Unhand me, girl.

She’s lovely.

- I run Frannie's.
- It’s ok, it’s ok. Come here.

We’re gonna be famous, y’all!

I wonder if
I’ll stay grounded

or give in to the fame monster within.

What is she babbling about?

Sabrina Sky?

Kitchen Clash is coming to Merinac!

- They’re coming here?
- Yeah!

Holy-

Merinac was a small town

where small town things happened.

It wasn’t every day Hollywood
came calling.

And not everyone was ready for prime time.

But y’all, what if we don’t win?

It’d be embarrassing, on TV.

No, no. This show always
makes both sides look good.

I don’t need their help.
I stay TV ready.

I don’t know, honey. I--

Look, if you’re not
comfortable we won’t do it.

And that’s that.

Excuse me?
That is not that.

Read the tea towel,
Frank Jr..

Come on, Mama.

We’re not gonna get beat by Mimi’s.

- It’s a shack, and we’re a full
- service dining institution.

Hey now, I was raised on Mimi’s.

Frannie’s is different, you know it.

It could have been a franchise.

And maybe we still can.

I mean, between the prize money

and all the publicity we’re gonna get?

This could be huge for us...
and Mimi’s.

And my Etsy store.

This could be huge for all of Merinac.

But only if you say so.

Come on, Mama.
Do it for daddy.

Do it for Merinac.

Do it for me.

Oh heck, why not?

Oh my God!

Okay, we gotta get back to work now.

Okay, I'm on it.

Nancy, you’re gonna be so glad
you said yes.

What’d you Mama say when
you told her about all this?

How about let’s keep this quiet

until we see how she responds, ok?

Word travels fast.

Mama, Gus...

how would you like the
opportunity to be a TV star?

No, no.

A woman doesn’t like to be
in the background of a photo.

Ok.

Gus, since you couldn’t
be bothered to come

to the christening of your
one and only grandchild,

could you please do me this
one, single, solitary favor,

you crusty old goat!

Now, would this kid
of appeal work on her mother?

No.

Amanda knew this news was a blessing,

but she also knew her mother.

That woman could have an
argument in an empty house.

This box is for donate,
this box is for keep,

and this box is for trash.

Because, TBH, that’s what most of this is.

Purge it.

I need your advice on Kitchen Clash.

Oh no. What is on there?

Nothing.
Weird, perverted stuff.

No! Mama, no!

Throw me that cardigan,
too. Give it to me... trash.

Well, this is worse.

Makes me wish
I was never born.

Look, I’m not watching it
for the reason you think I am.

It’s not like I love watching
Aunt Mae be amazin'.

I watch it because I love
the transformations.

Ok, it’s just Mae.

She hasn’t earned her aunt title.

Uh, well, she does
send me money on my birthday.

And offered to fly me to New York.

I could have real pizza.

Not the kind they make
at school with ketchup.

Haven’t you ever heard of
something called “loyalty”?

Have you ever heard of
something called “let it go”?

What do you want?
They’re almost at the reveal.

Ok, I’ve never talked
to my Mama like that.

And look how great your relationship is.

Fine!

Watch what you wanna watch.

I just don’t wanna know about it.

You should write a parentin' book.

Once upon a time you were
sweet and little,

and you used to follow me around

asking me to do drawings with you.

Well, sorry I aged.

What’d you want to ask
about Kitchen Clash?

I have to get Gus on board.

Grandma Gus?

It’s just Gus!

And never mind.

I’ll figure it out myself.

Come on!

Get your shoes off the bed.

Tragic. Horror show.

I can’t help you when you can’t be helped.

Hello?

Come on in.
We’re just about to open.

Can’t.

I’m banned.

Oh.

You must be Amanda.

I must be.
And you are?

Sergio.
I’m the new cook.

Nice try.

My mom has never let a man in her kitchen.

There’s a first time for everything.

I know your mom liked
to do it all herself,

now she does it all while
watching over my shoulder.

My restaurant, my management style.

So what do you want?

I know you’re not here
to welcome the new guy.

Come over for the best fried
chicken in town?

Oh no, she doesn’t touch the stuff.

She’s a vegetarian.

Loves chickens too much to eat ‘em.

She’d rather just draw ‘em.

Well, you gonna waste
my last moment of peace

before the lunch rush?

Right. So...

Have you ever heard of
“Ultimate Kitchen Clash”?

I’m old, Amanda.
I don’t live under a rock.

Ok, well, they wanna come to Merinac

to do a show about Frannie’s and Mimi’s.

If I wanted to be an actress

I would dye my hair blonde
and start eating caesar salads.

What?

That’s not-- a lot of people
eat caesar salads.

That’s not a glamorous food.

What I’m saying is I don’t care
about being on a TV show.

Ok, do you care about winning $100,000?

Oh!

I mean, the odds are in your favor.

Because Mimi’s would be the underdog.

What do you mean, "the underdog"?

Well, I just meant 'cause, you know,

Mimi’s is more down home.

Oh, oh. Because we don’t
have frozen mozzarella sticks

or glassware that’s actually
made out of glass.

We are, what? White trash?

You know, forget it.

I don’t even know why I try.

You know, this was supposed to
be a good thing for all of us.

Can you just be agreeable
for once in your life?

And can't you just...

just let me think about it
for one godforsaken second?

I would-- I would need
my daughter by my side.

So you'll have to call Mae.

Well, Nancy's got you and dipstick.

So alright, I'll do it, but...
not without Mae.

Now, to Amanda, her sister Mae was a--

Nightmare!

No! No!

Mae tells it like it is.

This closet is a cry for help.

While Lolly gets to
the root of the problem.

So the boots represent your youth.

Exactly.

Or maybe we can remember
that the best is yet to come.

Yeah.

‘Cause it can’t get any worse than this.

Together, they'll get your place...

Sparkling.

Sparkling.
New episodes Wednesdays.

Babe, that looks great.

I know.

The word on the street is
we’re gonna get a pick-up

and if we do we’re gonna roll
right into shooting season 2!

This is the part where you say

“wow, that is incredible.
What an amazing fiancé I have.”

So I’m supposed to pretend
to be happy about this?

Yes?

Mae, we talked specifically
about taking time off to travel

before the wedding.

Ok, and now we’re talking
about an amazing opportunity

that might not happen again.

Ok, but what about us
having adventures together,

just the two of us,
before we start having kids?

That way we’ll be ready.

See, that’s how we’re different,

because what would make me feel more ready

is to be more established in my career.

- Let me get that.
- I got it.

Look, I get that you’re disappointed.

I was already planning
out route, pricing RV’s.

Well, there will be another opportunity--

No, there won’t 'cause
this’ll just happen again.

You were never gonna do it, were you?

And now you’ve got the perfect excuse.

That’s not true.

It sorta was.

Come on.

I wanna go on an adventure with you.

I wanna see where you came from.

Wouldn’t that be cool?

Actually, for
Mae that would not be cool.

In fact, much of what
Jay knew about Mae’s past

was at best vague, at worst
a downright lie.

She had told Jay that to work
her way through college she--

Was on Broadway.

Wow.

What was that like?

Mae had been on Broadway, the street.

The location of the tackiest
restaurant in all of America.

Welcome to Donkey’s,
home of the thick shake.

What can I getcha?

Not as glamorous as you would think.

By the time she fell in love with Jay,

real love,

it felt too late to tell him the truth

about her humble and
embarrassing beginnings.

Come on, Jay.

Do you even really wanna do this?

You had two nannies.

Do you actually think you
could sleep in a vehicle?

I’m going to bed.

Come on, you have to admit
this is a great opportunity!

Congrats!

Now, it might have seemed easy

for her to just fess up, but
who had time to come clean

when there’s so much
actual cleaning to do?

Oh.

Rinse. Rinse.

I don’t think that’s right for me,

but best of luck!

Chicken emoji, star emoji, TV emoji.

Send.

As a nurse, you do so
much to serve others.

Now it’s your turn to let us serve you.

Here’s a diagnosis.
It’s a sty.

But with our
Sparkling treatment

we could have this place

turned into a healthy home in no time.

We’ll start by dividing
the house into zones.

Did that blow the take?

I’m sorry.

I'm so sorry.

Um, I... I have to take this.

Sorry.

No problem, I need to
connect with my fans, anyway.

Part of the job.

What’s up, Lollygaggers?
It’s ya girl here live.

I’ve got a little bit of
time so ask me anything.

Oh, hey girls!

You have your answer,

and I thought I was really
polite about it.

Oh yeah, your emoji string

should be studied by Emily Post.

Okay. Have you heard
of boundaries, Amanda?

Because this is me enforcing them.

Ok, wow.

Well, somebody’s insurance covers therapy.

Come on!

I am not enabling your situation.

My situation?

You mean the business
I run with my family?

Your husband’s family?

Ok, now you sound like Mama.

This is tough love, Amanda.
Okay, listen to me.

The second that you’re
ready to leave Merinac

and start your real life
I’ll be there to help you,

but I am not wasting

one more second of my time in that place.

Come on, think of Mama.

This would help her.

This would not help Mama,
this would destroy her.

And I think you know that.

Mama on TV?
Mama’s house on TV?

Why do you really want this,
Amanda?

I mean, I know about the money,

but, like, why? Really?

Amanda had told herself

it was to help both
her families, to help the town,

but she also hoped that maybe if someone

from outside all this mess came in

they would see her, her isolation.

And they'd help.

But instead of telling
Mae that...

You know what?

It must be nice to think
$100,000 is no big deal,

Miss New York City.

I’m a leftie so scissors were really hard.

Anyway, I guess that’s my core trauma.

You know what this is really about?

You’re ashamed of where you come from.

Yep, that’s part of it.

I thought that would have
packed more punch.

I’m sorry, should I not be
ashamed of being from Merinac?

News flash, Amanda.

Being from some pathetic podunk
town is embarrassing!

Fine.

I didn’t expect you
to actually want to help.

Well fine, then I guess
you’re not disappointed.

Well, I can’t let you inside this time

now that we are officially at war.

Where’s Gus?
Is she coming back soon?

It’s pie night.

She bakes in a commercial kitchen now.

Oh, she does?

That’s new.

Oh, was that a secret?

Are... are you spying for Frannie’s?

No.

- I swear it.
- No.

Mae said no.

So I was just coming by to see

if maybe that wasn’t a deal-breaker?

Eh...

Yeah.

Well, it was fun while it lasted.

Hey, wait. Wait!

Maybe we could figure it out
if we put our heads together.

Wanna come in?

I do but, you know, it’s not allowed.

I won’t tell anyone.

It can be our secret.

Uh...

Alright.

Excuse me. Sorry.

Ok then, alright.

- Oh, Shawna.
- Mm.

Thank goodness.
What do you think?

Do these tea towels look a little raggedy?

The tea towels?

What am I saying?
Of course they do.

Look at this one.

It looks like a pitbull
used it for a plaything.

I gotta get some new ones

before that TV crew gets here.

Ok, Nancy. Nancy?
Bless your little heart.

I’m gonna tell you something
‘cause no one else will.

This is pitiful.

The TV people don’t care about tea towels,

they care about people
looking good and doing bad.

- Oh my.
- Mmhmm.

Well, I don’t...
I don’t know.

I think I’ll just stay in a
behind-the-scenes capacity

and let the young ones take center stage.

Nancy, the only tea towel
you need to worry about

is that one right there.

Ma’am, when was the last
time you were with a man?

Oh Shawna, you’re fresh.

I’m just sayin’.

You are a gorgeous, vibrant, single woman.

Act like it.

You are about to be on TV.

Stop worrying about those rags

and let’s worry about these ones.

Here, let me help.

Yep.

Huh.

Oh.

They do sort of flatter, don’t they?

Hell yeah, they do.

Now that is a woman who’s
about to win some money.

It’s just such a good
opportunity for everyone,

and now it’s just gonna slip
through our fingers.

So you’re really surprised
there’s a lot of drama

between your families
when the show was interested

because there’s a lot of drama
between your families?

I was just trying to help the town.

Help it have more drama.

No, I'm just... I...

I'm not like that.

I live a boring, very boring life.

You have no idea.

I mean, it's fine.

I love my family.

So you think mom would do it without Mae?

I know she could use the cash

and if Mimi’s wins she’d get a lot of it.

Right.

If.

Look, if Kitchen Clash coming
is more about the publicity

than the money for Frannie’s,

then why not guarantee
Gus money?

I don’t know, to her that
either way Frannie’s and Mimi’s

could split the winnings.

So even if she loses, she still wins.

Not an entirely bad idea.

I know.

I’m full of not entirely bad ideas.

I like it.

I just need to talk to my,
um... the guy who, uh... um...

The guy. The um...

Your husband?

Yes.

I’m sorry,
I haven’t eaten today.

I have something for you.

Don’t be nervous, it’s vegetarian.

Okay.

It’s a hush puppy.

- Tasty, right?
- Oh, my God.

Don’t you think your mom
should put it on the menu?

It’s so good.

I mean, that’s the kind of
thing you get a hankering for

in the middle of the night.

Well, I’m always up.

So good. Ok.

- Bye.
- Bye.

Now, like I said,

Hollywood didn’t come knocking down

Merinac’s door every day,

but when it did, it didn’t take long

for Mrs. Nancy Hillier
to take to the idea.

She’s getting a little big
for her britches

if you ask me.

Ms. Nancy, don’t you look
ready for your close-up.

Kenneth, does your aunt
still have those trunk shows?

‘Cause I need some new clothes.

Glamorous ones.

Right.

Are you out of your mind?

Split the money?

That’s giving away $50,000.

Or it’s guaranteeing us $50,000
even if we lose.

Like Mimi’s can beat us.
We’re not gonna lose, Amanda.

Hon, if Gus finds out
Mae’s not coming

she’s gonna call the whole thing off

before I can even offer her this deal.

Why you gotta go and ruin
this good thing, hmm?

- Me?
- Yeah.

How am I--

Look, the way I see it we can
either water the problem tree

or the solution tree.

Oh, well I know who the problem tree is.

It’s your mother.

Can we please leave
Gus out of it?

Who’s side are you on these days?

Ok, so no to splitting it?
That’s what you’re saying?

Hell yeah. No.

Fine.

I guess I’m just gonna
have to tell everybody

that the whole thing’s off.

I guess you will.

I’ve heard the rumors.
Season 2?

Yes, but we’re gonna have to let you go.

What?

C... can I ask why?

Your constant disparaging of "stuff"

is a turn-off to advertisers.

Who, you know, sell stuff.

But getting rid of stuff is
the whole spirit of Sparkling.

Back me up.

See, Lolly doesn’t do that.
People like Lolly.

She’s someone you wanna go shopping with.

Any time!

But I am shocked, too.

Viewers find you elitist.

Elitist? Why?

I’m a lefty so scissors were really hard.

Anyway, I guess that’s my core trauma.

Oh my God, you too?
Oh. Oh, the lefty--

Yeah, that's part of it.

News flash, Amanda.

being from some pathetic
podunk town is embarrassing!!!

You can see how that might
alienate our rural viewers.

Wait, I’m talking about me!
I’m from a podunk--

I mean, a small town in the south.

You’re from the south?

- Yes.
- You?

Yes.

Like, the southern
United States?

Yes, what is so confusing about that?

I thought southerners were
supposed to be more polite.

I’m polite, what’s wrong with you?

I might tell it like it is,
which is a southern trait,

but it’s a good balance
to Lolly’s love and light crap.

No offense.

Love and light.

Please don’t fire me.

Don’t think of this as being fired,

think of it as your contract
not being renewed.

It’s for the best.

Take some time.
It’s time to take time.

No, I don't need time.
I need my job.

I need... my...

This wasn’t
Mae’s first panic attack rodeo.

Her childhood wasn’t exactly relaxing.

You see, Gus had a hoarding problem,

and as soon as Mae could,

she knew she had to get away
from all that mess.

Mae, don’t go!

Come with me.

But what about Frank Jr.?
Please.

I have to go.

My keys?

My keys?

How am I gonna--

- Hey.
- Where are my--

Hey. Hey. It’s ok.
It's ok.

Hey. Breathe.

Breathe.

Breathe.

We’re gonna give you something new today.

You know, try new things.

There’s a VIP in this line,
move to the front.

No, Patrick, I’m fine.

You’re not fine.

Yes, yes.

You are single-handedly saving
Merinac’s Main Street.

No, no, no...
I'm, I'm, I'm...

- Sorry.
- On the house.

Kenneth, I appreciate this,
I really do.

But I should pay.

Oh, come on.
You’re like family.

Kitchen Clash isn’t coming.

That will be $3.75.

Wait. Kitchen Clash is off?

Yeah.

Then who are they?

What on earth?

Wow.

This place is quaint as hell.

I feel like I’m in Russia.

Oh honey, you say that about everything

outside the boroughs.

Oh, Gordo, run some B roll
on that bird bath.

On it.

Are you kidding me with this place?

You’re early.

You must be Amanda.
Sabrina Sky.

Pleasure to meet a fan.

We weren’t expecting you ’til next week.

Ok. Usually it’s a pleasure.

We called.
I spoke to the owner.

The owner?

Yeah. Uh, that guy.

What the heck’s going on,
Frank Jr.?

You said you told her.

Now, don’t pitch a hissy,

but your man took care of business.

What did you do?

Now, your plan was giving
your mother half our winnings,

so I took matters into my own hands.

She’s gonna have a hard time saying no

to the cameras already rolling.

She’s gonna be humiliated.
Did you think about that?

She’s not prepared, she has no help,

and Mae’s not here.

Land’s end, Amanda.

Are you gonna stand here
and nag at me all day

or are you gonna help me
promote our business

so we can become a franchise?

You want a baby now, don’t you?

What do you think?
That’s my mama.

Family is family, right?

Some family is family.

I don’t like the way
that woman ices you out.

It dills my darn pickle!

You’re always worried about
your good-for-nothing mom

and your spotlight stealin' sister.

This is your moment.

Take it.

Well...

- Hey, Mama Nancy?
- Mmhmm?

Is that a push-up bra?

Maybe.

I’m a single, vibrant woman, you know?

Gus?

Gus?

Close the door!

Ok, we’ll be here for two weeks,

at the end of which
we’ll have a final taste test.

Amanda looked around
and realized all this,

it was because of her.

She had done something.

Something that would change everything.

She felt powerful.
She felt in control.

What the--

Hi!

I’m home!

She felt pissed.

Hi!

I thought the answer was no.

And I bet y’all did, too.

Remember I told you Mae
was prone to panicking?

Mae?

Ok?

Well, because of
that she knew how to pivot.

Thank you for the opportunity.

I have to take this.

Love and Light.

Back atcha.

Hey. I was just thinking about y’all.

Well, someone changed my mind.

Hi.

You called Mae?

I was trying to help.

You were trying to get in good

with your cool, famous
Aunt Mae,

that’s what you were doing.

She’s my aunt, I can call her if I want.

Fine. But when she disappoints you

just don’t come crying to me.

Oh, fine.

Your mom sucks too, huh?

I wouldn’t say that.

Is there anywhere to,
like, party around here?

There’s a hoedown every other Friday.

I’m gonna die here.

Ok, go out the back way.

I know the drill.

Gus? You gotta come outside.

What the--

Mama!

Mae.

You... you came.

I thought you said you were
never coming back here.

Oh, never say never.

Besides, when I heard you needed help

I just knew I had to be here.

I ain’t lying.

I can’t tell you how much that means.

Sabrina Sky?! Oh!

Mae Moore?
It’s been ages!

Wait. You know her?

I do.

In fact, Mae and Sabrina had history.

Hi!

Oh, we’re losing daylight.
You know how it is.

But that is a story for another time.

Alright, everyone!

Everybody ready for all of this?

Alright, Gordo.
Counting down in five...
