Previously on Single Ladies. Hey, what
you drawing?

None of your business, nosy.

Who is it, babe?

Jerry?

Omar, I know I haven't been the easiest
person to live with.

Here, open it.

Deport papers?

I came by because I wanted to see the
look on your face when I told you I was

flunking you for the semester.

You can't do that. I could be deported.
Clubhead Records has agreed to hire you

as a junior A &R rep. You might end up
being my type after all. Is Malcolm

arrest somewhere?

Can't find him.

He was with this woman. I know it's
difficult. Your help could make all the

difference right now.

We were supposed to be here two hours
ago. Keisha, you take fashionably late

a whole new level.

Look at my dress. You should know by now
I take everything to a whole new level.

There's my girl.

She's pure class.

I've been that way for years. How have
you been? I'm good. Thank you, Victor.

Oh, we haven't been able to catch up for
ages. Look at your hair. I love it.

With all the mess I've been going
through, I have to shed a layer.

I'm sorry I haven't been here.

I hate that my job makes me travel so
much.

It feels like I don't even live in
Atlanta.

Okay, enough chitchat.

Let's see the ring.

Wow.

You're not playing, Victor.

I see they're paying chiefs of
cardiology pretty well these days.

Hypertension has been good to me.
Besides, I couldn't put you with any

the new team leader at McDougal and Duff
Consulting.

Victor, introduce me to these lovely
ladies. These are Raquel's friends,

and April.

Babe,

I'm going to go circulate.

So, uh...

How do you guys know Raquel?

Well, I know her through Keisha. My aunt
lived next door to Keisha in Inglewood,

and I spent every other summer there.
We've been like sisters ever since.

Does anyone need a drink?

I would love one.

Well, I was thirsty, too, but whatever.

Okay, we're alone.

Are you all right?

I'm fine. Why do you ask?

Well, I'm not mad at you for being with
a doctor who is so well paid.

But I thought you were going to fall in
love with an artist.

Get married barefoot on the beach.

You swore you weren't going to let your
mom plan your life.

But here you go.

When did you drink the Kool -Aid?

I just grew up and realized that Victor
and I are the perfect match.

Our families are already close.

He's smart, successful.

He is going to be a great dad.

I mean, what else could I ask for in a
man?

How about a reason to change your
panties?

Love? Passion, anyone?

Don't be crazy. Of course I love him.

Who said anything about love?

Oh, boy, here comes your mother.

Well, hello, stranger.

Raquel tells me that you're doing real
estate instead of video style.

I'm glad to hear you're showing homes
instead of your goods.

Nice to see you as well, Evelyn.

I'm finally going to marry Raquel off.
When is it going to be your turn?

I don't know. As hard as I try, I can't
seem to love any man the way I love

myself.

I'm going to go dance, and Keisha,
rather than joke about how single you

you might want to take advantage of all
these eligible men around here.

I better go change into fabulous dress
number two for my family photo.

I would have thought working for a
record label was kind of sexy. Well, if

idea of sexy is working your ass off and
never getting rewarded.

So club promoters don't have to work
hard?

Excuse me. I need to go talk to someone.

What?

Sorry, may I have this dance?

Something I'm going to mind on? And it's
messed up.

Doesn't everyone deserve a second
chance?

I have a few ideas about what battery
deserves.

a funny way of showing it

i'm sorry april

the battery burned every bridge to me
beyond recognition my

turn

i couldn't call myself a friend if i
didn't try to put any good words

It's been only two weeks.

She'll be fine in time.

Jerry, I know you're hurt.

But if you can find it in your heart to
forgive her, I know she'll never mess up

again.

Fine.

I don't even feel my heart right now.

And when I do,

I damn sure won't let Valerie anywhere
near me.

You look gorgeous tonight, Keisha. I
know.

I bet Malcolm would agree.

That I wouldn't know, Agent Paul.

But following me around will get you
nowhere.

I beg to differ.

Let's get our chest pressed against each
other's.

Who are you after, Winston?

Malcolm or me?

This is a friendly warning.

If you don't tell the FBI where Malcolm
is, we're going to start looking into

your background.

While you're looking for things, look
for a new dance partner.

Because as you know, it takes two to ten
to go.

Who's wrong?

Why don't you change?

Time for the pictures, babe. Let's go.

We would like to thank everyone for
joining us to celebrate the long

union of the Wellington and the
Lancaster.

I appreciate all of you coming tonight,
too.

So that I only have to say this once.

While we were all down here celebrating,
my proud fiancé was upstairs screwing

another woman.

I know.

I can't believe it either.

Victor, how could you?

There's nothing you can say now that
would ever make me marry you.

So you can have your life back and your
ring.

Oh, no. You earned this, bitch. Let's
go.

Good morning, single lady.

Did I really do that last night?

Did I really break off my engagement in
a room full of people?

Did Victor really screw another woman in
your room during your party? Girl, you

gave him dust.

And I'm so proud.

I can't believe he did that. At the very
least, I thought we were friends.

Clear this up for me, Raquel.

Last night, you were all to the left, to
the left. And now you all, hey now, hey

now, don't dream, it's over.

As your friend, please tell me what I'm
supposed to do. Hug you or high five

you. I guess I haven't really been
honest with myself.

Yeah, Victor betrayed me.

But I have to own up to my part in this
charade, too.

For somebody else, Victor would be the
whole package.

But for me, it was like sleeping with my
brother.

I get it. He's from a prominent family.
You're from a prominent family.

It's not like you can marry the guy
working at McDonald's.

Well, maybe the owner.

But why?

If I was passionately in love with a man
at a French fry station, couldn't I

marry him? Don't make me come out there,
Raquel. That's a long drop.

I've been saying for years, something
wasn't right with you two. I couldn't

figure it out.

I'm just glad Sleeping Beauty finally
woke up. But isn't she supposed to be

awakened by a kiss?

Not by finding her fiancé plowing
another woman?

Traditionally. But this way worked, too.

Catch me up on what's going on with you,
Malcolm, and the FBI.

It's been two weeks, and I still haven't
heard from him. For all I know, he's

somewhere curled up with his ex -wife.

I'm pissed.

I'm hurt. I'm worried.

I'm sorry.

This looks like a drunken threesome.

Anyway, guess who I ran into?

Who? Reed.

He was a little salty. What happened
with that?

We kissed once, but I just couldn't get
into him.

Are you sure it's not because you blew
off that A &R deal he set up for you?

Yeah, okay, maybe that too.

I'm just glad you could help out here.

Until Val comes back from hiding out in
Europe, we're really shorthanded. And

since Christina got deported for
flunking all of her classes.

I've basically had no help.

Val is definitely not in her right mind
leaving you in charge over me.

She knows our strength.

You're only good at playing with
mannequins. But I make sure the money's

No, no, no, no, no, no. The show is
tomorrow.

What the hell am I supposed to tell the
club owner?

No, you have a nice day.

Was that you being mean?

That's so cute.

You know why this is happening, right?
Because Wes is bad -mouthing me. But you

know what? That's okay. I feed off
haters.

Guys, I just got an email from Val.

He's not coming back from Milan.

What?

Wait, what do you mean not coming back?

As in not for a couple of days like she
said originally or a week or forever?

I just got her email too.

It's forever.

Forever ever?

He says he wants nothing to do with
Atlanta.

He can't face it. Val, she's serious.

She's going to sell her boutique.

What am I supposed to do now?

Can I even get a job in this recession?

Where the hell is my email from Val?

She always was a bitch. I hate her.

What am I talking about? I love her, and
I want her body if I come back as a

woman.

Val, why?

Why?

Oh, God.

Why?

Hey, I'm going to need you to man it up
real fast.

Pull it together.

We're going to be all right.

With

their meeting

and no one told me?

You didn't miss anything.

They're never going to implement your
growth program for local businesses in

Atlanta. I mean, this is high finance,
not community outreach.

It's a great idea, and I'm going to keep
pitching it. And that's exactly why you

weren't in the meeting.

I have a lot of insight and input you
guys might not be considering.

Look, Raquel, you do good work. People
like you.

That's why McDougal gave you the title.

Gave me?

He always likes to have at least one
woman on the team. Balance.

So take the money and run.

You're not going to change this company
or the world.

Great. Thank you.

Hey, girl. Hey.

How are you?

Hi.

Omar, this is Keisha's friend from way
back.

Hi.

Nice to meet you.

How cute is this store?

How cute are you?

And how dare you make me question my
sexuality?

No, seriously.

Making my tummy feel funny.

Silly.

Okay, guys, we're ready. Hey, Raquel,
you're just in time for the service.

Val, we'll miss you, girl.

Maybe one day you'll get your love life
together.

I'm very confused right now.

But since I just quit my job... Huh?

I think I need a sip.

Bitch still hasn't emailed me.

I've been waiting so long for this.

April.

April. April.

Could you please get off my couch so I
can work? Thank you.

Sorry. I just sat down for a second.

Must have fallen asleep. Please.

Wow.

I was literally having a wet dream.

That's okay.

You keep the couch.

I keep fantasizing about all these guys.

I think I need to go on a date.

When was the last time you had sex?

Enough said. I don't know how you girls
do it, or actually don't do it.

Ooh. This is that cute guy that I met at
your party.

Hi, Dan.

I'm good. How are you?

Yeah, I would love to have dinner.

Yeah, when?

Look at her. She walked in here like a
football player. Now she's twirling

around like a ballerina.

Power of men.

Are you Keisha?

There's no car.

If I admired you, I'd keep it a secret
too.

Yum.

Snickerdoodle.

Okay.

I can do that.

Well, you're not twirling, so obviously
that was no one special.

Actually, that was Malcolm.

Where the hell have you been for the
past two weeks, Malcolm?

I had your back.

But I feel like you're playing me for a
fool.

And I'm nobody's fool.

I need answers.

Then I guess I should start with an
apology.

I'm sorry.

But you should know that the FBI isn't
really interested in me.

They're after Mayor Howard.

Then why are you running?

And how is this all connected to Ashley?

Because the FBI gave me a whole new
perspective on you guys' relationship

found quite informative. Everything that
I told you was true, okay?

But you left out the fact that you've
been supporting her.

Yes, I did.

I did because how do I say to the woman
that I love that I'm still taking care

of my ex -wife?

You would think there was something more
going on, right?

Are you sleeping with her? Hell no,
Keisha.

You should just let me fill in the
blanks and I promise you'll understand.

I hope so, Malcolm.

Because I'm really confused about you
right now.

Mayor Howard has been extorting local
businesses for years.

Years. Now, anybody who started up a
business in Atlanta had to pay him.

So, I did.

But those payments, those payments were
illegal.

And in order to make a case against him,
they came after everybody who bribed

him. So the FBI came after you to get to
the mayor? Technically me and Ashley.

She used to deliver the payments from me
to the mayor's boy. Now, two weeks ago,

that dude got arrested, started naming
names.

So right now, she's on her way to the
Ivory Coast, where she can't be

or bother me or us anymore.

In all distance over.

Soon as I get confirmation that she's
landed settled in my lawyers will talk

the FBI and clear my name But Keisha
don't ever doubt who you are to me

The only woman

I want is you I'm sleeping with is you
and the only

woman that I love

It's you.

I guess we should eat.

But I'm not really hungry.

Are you?

I'm starved.

Girl, I need you more than my next
breath.

Thank you for hiding this from me.

Some lady begged me for it, but I
couldn't sell it to her. No way she

this the way you will.

So tell me, is it as glamorous as it
seems growing up in high society Atlanta

and living in Tuxedo Park?

The trappings are nice, but they can be
a trap.

You've certainly set yourself free. Have
I?

I don't feel that way.

I thought this would make me happy, but
I'm just confused.

I have all the choices in the world open
to me.

But I can't make one.

Okay.

How about this?

Beer or wine?

Wine. White or red?

Red, definitely.

See? You can make choices.

So come with me to happy hour. Uncle
Omar will help you figure this all out.

Excuse me.

May I ask you a question?

Oh, I don't work here.

But I could go get the guy who does.

Actually, I wanted to invite you for a
cup of tea.

What's your name?

Raquel.

What's yours?

Leonardo.

I'm late to a shoot, but, um... What do
you think about that tea?

You okay?

I feel like I'm hogging the
conversation.

No, not at all. No, I was just thinking
that no matter what happens, you'll

always be special because you're my
first official date since my divorce.

Cool. I popped your dating cherry.

Sorry.

I'm divorced, too.

But I can't wait to remarry. Trust me.

It's much safer when you're married and
there's security knowing exactly what to

expect every day.

Which is why you may want to go ahead
and lock this down.

April. Huh?

You want another drink?

Oh, God, yes. I need something.

Please.

Beautiful studio.

You said you shot a Jaguar ad here
yesterday?

Yeah, I shot everything.

Tell me what you did.

Do we have to talk about me?

It's so much easier to talk about you.

So you're a shy girl.

I don't know who I am anymore.

I just know who I don't want to be.

Wow. That is divine.

Let me photograph you. What?

Now? No.

Crazy.

Come on. It'll be fun.

No.

That's it. You're natural. I am going to
naturally beat you up.

I'm too shy.

Stop following me with that camera.

Okay. Maybe just once. And I'm feeling
good.

Fish in the sea.

You know how I feel.

River running free.

It's a new day, it's a new life for me,

and I'm feeling good.

Big boy, thank you so much for doing
this.

No problemo, but you know what you owe
me, right?

No. What have I been trying to get from
you for years?

Ah, you want some more of that, huh?

Hell yeah. I want you to bake me one of
your world -famous sweet potato pies.

You know, you're the only white girl
that can get my grandma to run for her

money in the kitchen. All right, you got
it. And just for the record, I don't

believe none of that stuff without you
saying about you in the streets either.

You're my girl, my family.

Big boy, thank you so much. Seriously,
it means a lot to me. Thank you. I will

do.

Your first time promoting, and you look
big, boy.

Not mad at you.

You doing it.

Congratulations, April. Your new
business is off to a great start.

Don't congratulate me until he's
actually on that stage with a mic in his

How y 'all doing? What's going on? Y
'all know what it is. This is what I've

been doing. Hey, hey, hey.
Congratulations.

Congratulations. Ladies, all the ladies,
put your hands up.

What the hell are you doing?

Mr. Green, you're under arrest for tax
evasion. Sorry, big boy. Excuse me.

go.

she needs the best lawyer in town but
she would kill me if i called him yeah

wouldn't ask him for anything if her
life depended on it but she wouldn't be

asking

He'll go away if you tell us where
Malcolm is.

All we want to do is question him. I
don't know where. You know what? Spare

the mock ignorance, and let's talk deal.

You bring me Malcolm within the next 24
hours, and I'll make sure all your tax

problems go away.

If you don't, good luck to the Treasury
Department.

They really don't like tax evaders.

I haven't evaded my taxes. In fact, I
just recently filed.

These are your bank statements and
deposits from the last two years.

First class tickets to Vegas.

Hotel bills.

Ah, you like the bungalows at the
Venetian.

High roller.

How can you afford that when you've only
sold one house?

Call it lady luck.

Well, you're going to need all that
luck, lady.

Because we're pulling tapes from the
casinos where you won big and never

declared those earnings.

I have a right to call a lawyer.

When do I get my call?

Charlie Clark.

Ms. Green's attorney.

This interrogation is over. You should
don't say another word.

Trust me.

I won't be saying a damn thing.

I need to be alone with my client.

When the

hell

called you?

Raquel. She said you'd be mad.

But the truth is you need me.

You're in too much trouble to start
beefing with me. John, our beef started

years ago. Let's just focus on the now.

From what I've gathered, they've been
examining your life for the past four to

five years. You owe $200 ,000 in back
taxes.

What?

That's impossible.

No, it all started with the 50 G's you
didn't declare.

Then with penalties and interest, that
number shot up.

The IRS wants their money or you're
going to do three to five years.

I'm not doing time, Sean.

I'm not going to let you.

But you have to agree to let me
represent you.

So you screwed me over when we were
together, and now you expect me to hire

That won't happen. I know.

I owe you.

So let's just say it's a proposal.

Let's just say it then.

Why you barely said a word in the car?

But before I go, I think I should know
what's up with this dude, Mal.

The clock is ticking on the 24 hours
that they gave you to give him up.

If you know where he is, I'd advise you
to do it.

Sean, you know what kind of woman I am.

If nothing else, I will have my man's
back.

But then again, some guys can appreciate
or return loyalty.

All right.

Let's just put everything on the table
now.

Because you won't be able to focus on
this case until you get everything off

your chest.

Was it worth it?

Was she worth it?

Yes and no.

Yes? Get out, Sean.

I'll find a new attorney. Go. Hold up.
Let me explain.

See, that quick -ass temper of yours is
partly what the problem was.

Please do tell how I was partly the
problem when you were the one who

And that's somebody else pregnant. Yeah,
it wasn't worth it because I lost you.

But I still believe the punishment
didn't fit the crime.

It was one time with one chick, and you
threw away six years for that.

You trivialize it like I shouldn't
expect my boyfriend to be trustworthy.

But you knew where I was every night.
With you.

But I'm human. I erred.

Once.

Once.

And right or wrong, I was pissed at you
for ending it.

Hell, maybe I should have given you
another chance.

We'd probably be married by now.

Who's to say you wouldn't have cheated
again?

Who's to say that I would have?

Kim meant nothing to me. The only reason
we speak now is because of my son.

That's why I say it was partly worth it.

That little dude has changed my life.

Yeah.

I'm glad some good came out of it.

You should probably start that drive
home.

It's almost fixed.

I'll call you when I wake up.

I'm sorry again that I called Sean, but
he's the closest thing to Johnny Cochran

says. Well, Johnny Cochran.

And I knew he wouldn't refuse.

It's fine.

I realize I've been holding on to this
anger for years.

But after he and I talked, a weight
seemed to lift.

So thank you.

All right, now let's talk tax evasion.
Damn, he totally Wesley sniped you.

And it's serious.

Get this.

I owe $200 ,000.

And if I don't pay, I do time. What?

Penalty, interest.

But if I give up Malcolm, it all goes
away.

Ooh.

You must be really torn right now.

Having your freedom depends on turning
in the man that you love?

This isn't about love. This is about
jail.

Are you really that ride or die?

I know that man loves me.

I feel it.

With... Every fiber of my being.

And isn't love supposed to conquer all?

I didn't hear an answer. I just heard
that you're actually considering going

down for this guy.

Keisha, you cannot be serious.

I don't know. Certain men will make us
do crazy things.

But, Keisha, this is your life.

Yeah, but Malcolm has a gazillion
dollars. He can buy solutions to his

And where is he anyway?

Why is he trying to get you out of this
mess?

April, I just got arrested nine hours
ago.

I haven't called him because I don't
know why I left that damn disposable

Maybe I can go in and dance around their
question until he and I figure

something out.

Keisha, they sent Martha Stewart to
prison for dancing around questions.

What do you think they're going to do to
you?

Hey, Leonardo.

You've got the pictures?

Wait till you see them. Incredible.

Wow.

That's me?

There goes my tummy again.

This girl seems so free.

So happy.

I've spent so many years being the good
daughter, the good girlfriend, the good

employee that who I really am has gotten
lost.

Not lost.

Displaced, perhaps.

Maybe so.

But after this week, I'm ready to find
her.

No matter where the journey takes me.

Thank you, Leonardo.

Truly, Raquel.

It was my pleasure.

You're leaving?

I was hoping to spend more time with
you.

And I with you. But you need some space
and time to figure things out.

I think I could do a strong line with
you someday.

What does that mean?

It means I don't want to be your rebound
guy.

What does that mean?

It means maybe one day, the timing will
be right.

And you should know that baby is in a
lot of trouble.

So, how about a movie?

Sounds fun.

Just admit it, April. You're not
interested in me. What?

No, of course I am. No, you're not, and
I don't get why.

I'm nice, decent -looking, and I pull in
six figures.

I don't understand what more women want.

Aren't you all ultimately looking for
someone to settle down with?

I guess, at some point.

But, Dan, no, we're just in different
places right now. You're looking for

next wife.

But this is the first time that I've
been single since I was 17 years old.

I have literally never dated.

Ever. Really?

Really. And I think I just want to have
fun.

Like, I'm not ready to be someone's wife
again.

I understand. You want to be a kid in a
single lady's candy store.

I'm not really sure what that means, but
yeah.

Yeah, I think so.

Lunch is on me.

Thank you so much for helping me figure
this out.

And good luck finding her.

You're going to make someone really
happy.

Are

you

sure you're ready to do this?

I'm going to have to be, right?

Lovely to see you, Keisha.

So where are we having this
conversation?

Welcome, Frank.

Agent Long.

So listen, I've been away on business,
and I heard you've been looking for me.

I also heard you've been giving my girl
a very hard time.

Well, now you've got me, so you can let
her go.

Nice of you to finally show up.

Do I know you? Not yet.

But I believe this changes things for my
client.

So, Keisha.

You got a name, Matt?

Sean.

Clark.

My boy.

Look what I bought the other day.

You like?

I like. But your mom won't like if
you're wearing that to Sunday dinner.

going to Sunday dinner.

Not today?

Not anytime soon.

Girl, when you rebel, you just go all
the way, don't you?

I called you 50 times to apologize, but
you keep choosing to ignore me. So let's

just talk about it in the car on the
way.

On the way?

To your parents for Sunday dinner.

We can show everybody we're trying to
work things out.

Dinner is not an option, but we
definitely need to talk.

Let's take a ride.

That wasn't the first time

you cheated, was it?

No.

Why do you even want to marry me?

Are you serious?

We've known each other since we were
kids and our families are close.

We like all the same things and we love
each other. It just makes sense.

Victor, I need a man who can barely
think straight because he hasn't heard

voice all day.

Or a man who can't fall asleep because
I'm not next to him. I don't want logic

in my love. I want passion.

Don't you want it too?

But I do love you.

Maybe. But it's not the marrying kind of
love.

And it's certainly not the way I'm
realizing I want to be loved.

Pull over.

You should think about who you want to
spend the rest of your life with.

And why.

But it's not me.

And I can't ever go back.

We got here.

Yeah,

we couldn't have you standing on the
corner wearing what you wearing for too

long. Somebody might put you to work.

Please tell me you did not get evicted
back your ring. Hell no.

I earned it.

Just don't drop it in my car.

Find this key.

Where are we going, lady?

We're out to tear up Atlanta together.
