Previously on Single Ladies. Okay, I don't know what kind of deal that you

with Terrence and Malcolm, but... That's locked.

There's one person I haven't talked to.

My own.

Oh, God, you two.

Who hasn't this bitch slept with?

You give us information that helps find our friend, and we're gonna give you the

percentage of Frank's jewels.

I have an idea of where he might be holding her.

Let's get out of here.

Oh, damn, we're gonna be late for the Mateo showcase.

Hey, why don't you just come with me?

Are you trying to ask me out on a date, David?

Uh, no.

Are you ever going to let me explain?

Or would you rather just be mad at me?

I haven't decided yet.

Uh, what you doing?

I was just going to come to bed.

Not with me, you know.

Well, I'm going to do everything that I can to make sure you're protected.

I can't follow.

I can't leave.

Lose control.

You remember that day?

With the waffles? Yes.

How are you feeling this morning?

I'm okay.

But I'd be a lot better if I could spend the rest of this day in bed with you.

I feel like so much has happened.

What about Keisha?

I mean, is she okay? How much does she know about all of this?

Enough to where I thought she was going to kill Malcolm last night.

She acts tough, but she's got to be devastated over this. I got to go check

her. Oh, okay.

Hold up.

Look, maybe just stay put until Malcolm and I get the thing settled with Deacon.

Terrence, that's my girl. I got to go check on her. Look, look, look. I

understand. I'm going to text Malcolm right now to make sure that Keisha's

Look, I'm texting.

But while we wait...

Well, his response, why don't you try the waffles that I made you?

You made?

Something, something. You are so amazing.

You really are amazing.

Thank you. You know why? Why?

Because I don't have a waffle iron, baby.

You don't? I don't.

Okay, look, bust it.

I told the security guard outside to go pick him up.

Look.

If you can't get me over to Keisha, can Keisha get over here? Of course.

In fact, I want the whole gang here tonight.

Look, I don't think it's a good idea to have a bunch of people over right now.

Not a bunch of people, just the girls, Omar, and you.

Oh, I'm invited.

Well, yeah.

I mean, unless you got something better to do. No pressure.

I would love... It's just that... I don't know how I'm going to keep my

off of you.

About that.

Considering the situation, do you think that maybe we should keep this between

me and you?

I think that's a good idea.

Right. I mean, you know, whatever this is.

Whatever. Oh.

Strawberry?

Yeah.

Let me get that for you.

You sleep okay?

I made some coffee.

I get it, I get it. You don't want to talk to me.

I'm evil, I'm shady, I'm a bad, bad man. But Keisha, seriously, we have to talk.

So tell me, did Ashley know all about your dirty dealing?

Answer me. Baby, why is that important?

Answering a question with a question.

Typical.

Yes, sir. Look, at my level of business, with this kind of money involved,

people do sometimes get their hands dirty.

Don't either.

Have you even taken a look at this house? The European vacations, the cars

we both drive, the private jets. Trust me, I know how much you love those

private jets. So please, do us both a favor and stop the sanctimonious BS and

don't act like this lifestyle isn't important to you.

And don't you act like you did any of this shady business because of me.

not what I said.

You know what?

I'm done talking about it right now.

Well, I'm not because there's a good chance that I'm going to be indicted.

Look, I don't want that to happen.

But I'm done taking heat for you. I'm not asking you to, baby.

How are we supposed to build a life when you keep blowing up the foundation?

Okay.

I need to get out. I need to get some air.

I'll drive you wherever you want.

We don't have to talk, just Keisha Deacon is still out there.

He's out there, he's pissed off, and he's coming after me, all right?

It's just too dangerous for you to be running around on your own right now.

I won't be on my own.

I hired my own bodyguard.

I have plenty of security, and I would just feel better if I knew where you

going. I'm sure you would.

Just like I would have felt better had I known everything you kept from me.

Oh, you must be Hank.

Nice to meet you, Miss Green.

You can call me Keisha.

Bye, Mel.

Keep her safe.

That's my job.

It's hideous.

You said that about the last three. No, I said repulsive, grotesque, and

ghastly. This one is hideous.

It's gorgeous, and if it fit you any better, I would have had to have sprayed

on. I hate the color.

White is one of your favorite colors.

And the fabric is itchy.

Felicia, it's silk.

The only thing softer is the skin on a baby's butt.

And don't even go there. You're already in enough trouble with PETA.

I'm not enthused, I'm not intrigued, and I don't feel sexy.

Maybe you've just been a little crampy. Excuse me? What did you say?

I said you look hot and vampy.

Look, help me help you.

If I at least knew where you were going, I could... It shouldn't matter where

I'm going. Your job is to make sure that I look like a billion dollars.

Yes, but a billion dollars worth of sexy or a billion dollars worth of lovely.

Okay, fine.

You must know.

I'm having dinner with my ex -husband.

Well, then, in that case, may I suggest you'll never hit this

again, look?

Hmm?

What about the shoes?

I'm glad you're already sitting down.

Hey,

anything exciting going on over here?

Um, not really.

How about you?

Nah, nothing really.

Which is why I came to see what you was up to.

Oh, um, I'm just doing research.

Research?

How to win at charades?

Yep. I suck at games, and Raquel is having game night tonight.

Well, how awesome would it be if you knew someone who was a master at games?

I accept cash, credit card, or cashier's check. I do not play for free.

Or you can pay me with flesh.

You're not invited.

All right. Well, do you want to win or not?

Okay, pick me up at 7 .30. I thought so.

Hey, man.

How you doing?

Thanks for coming. My pleasure.

Seemed urgent.

It is, Luke.

It is.

How so?

I'm gonna need to call in that IOU.

Anytime. I mean, after all, you saved my ass back in the day.

You still got those judges in your back pocket?

As a matter of fact, I do.

Just got a new one the other day.

Lucky for us, they were hit by the recession just like everyone else.

That's good to know.

Yeah. That's very good to know.

I also know you got Deacon's here, right?

He crossed the line with me, and I'm going to need to pull him back.

I have more in his ear.

But what has that fool gone and done now?

What is all this?

Going on Martha Stewart helps take my mind off things.

Oh. Hey, he should be here in a minute. Maybe I should head out before she gets

here. You're not going to stay?

I was.

Why are you going to explain me already being here when she gets here?

Well, I was going to say that I sent you out for extra drinks.

You're pretty good at making up lies on the fly.

Should I be worried?

No, silly.

I just had very strict parents, and I learned to become creative at a very

age. Really?

How young?

Girl, get him.

Who's the good -looking suit?

Bodyguard.

Oh, so good to see you.

You too, girl.

Now, are you sure you're okay? Of course. You know if I wasn't, I would

you. Yes, yes, you would.

Because you've always been straight with me.

Unlike others in my life.

Oh, hello, Karen.

What's up, Jesus?

What? Don't look at me like that. I'm not the one that lied to you.

And your brother's another story.

You're here early.

Oh, I needed him to go get some drinks.

Yeah, but you forgot the beer.

So, yeah, you should probably do that. Yeah, she's right. I'm going to go ahead

and go.

Look, I wanted to get out of the house tonight.

I don't think I'm up to playing games. I mean, I'll be here, but, you know.

I hear you.

What's up with you and Malcolm?

Oh, I can't even get into all of that right now.

I'm so tired of fighting with him.

Although I did bring one of his insanely expensive bottles of wine.

Keisha, that says 1945.

Yeah, okay.

I know.

He was saving it for a special occasion.

Yeah. I think that's qualified.

Oh, yeah.

Okay.

That was an extremely bold move on his behalf.

Even for Deacon. He must be more desperate than I thought.

What do you mean?

He's broke, Malcolm.

What?

He's into me for... I don't even know. I'd have to call my account for the true

figures. Wait a minute.

I thought Deacon got you started. I mean, I thought he gave you money.

Listen, Luke, Deacon has always gone on and on about how you're his protege.

Protege my ass.

While he was out on golf courses being bougie, I had to hold down the hustle,

which is why I now own his ass and probably why he's leaning on you so

I cannot believe that fool is broke.

I just thought he was being a greedy bastard.

Oh, make no mistake about it. He is a greedy bastard.

Let's not make any mistake of that.

Undoubtedly, he has the funds to pay me. He just doesn't want to sell off any of

his prized possessions.

Does anybody else know he's broke?

I doubt it. You know how he likes to keep up his appearances and whatnot.

And I found that it is best to let people assume what they'd like to

Besides, I like the cover it gives you.

Yeah, well, listen, tell me something.

Are you sure Deacon's going to listen to you? Because I need to be sure.

Oh, I'm damn well sure.

However, you want the judges and Deacon?

It seems to be a bit more than your marker.

Yeah, but you know I'm good for it.

Are you?

Listen, why don't you take some time, think about it, we'll talk.

I wish I could, but I don't have the luxury of time to do what you need to

man. All right?

Consider a handle.

Thank you.

My pleasure.

Man, hey!

Oh, so good to see you both.

Oh, we haven't seen each other in a minute.

Where would you like me to put this?

At the bar, thanks.

What is going on?

I ask myself that every day. What I want to know, what the hell happened to you?

Oh, girl, I already told you that story. No, you gave me the cliff -notes

version. There really isn't a lot to say.

It was scary and creepy. The guy acted like a perfect gentleman until, well,

until he threatened to kill me, and then not so much. Classic psycho. I mean,

one minute they're all charm, and then the next minute you're stuck in a pit

they're lowering lotion to you in a bucket.

Cool.

What?

The lamp.

Yeah, I didn't see that movie.

Really?

Okay, so you're okay. Are you ready for game night? Because I am going to bring

it on. Okay, Blondie, bring it.

Yes, it is so on.

First case.

She's out on the balcony.

I don't think she's really in the mood for a game night.

Is she okay?

Yeah. She just wants to be alone.

But I think she likes having us all around.

No, I get it.

That's what I like to think about.

Let's do this.

Karen.

Hi. I came early because Raquel says she needed some drinks.

Oh.

Mm -hmm.

Oh, that's good.

Hey.

Hi. Where do you want these?

Do you want to just put those in the fridge? Yeah.

Okay, okay. I got this.

Raquel, she's making movie trivia.

Keisha's skipping the game and Karen's...

I doubt he's good at trades, right?

We got this.

Homer's not here yet.

He could be Dark Horse, that one.

Trust me, he's no match for the Black Stallion.

Can't resist, can you?

What? All the time. You love my dirty ways.

Whoa. That was quick.

What's the matter? He couldn't handle all that dress?

No. He couldn't handle the dirty martini I threw on his face.

Oh. Sorry.

Can I get you anything?

Yeah.

Six years, seven months, two weeks, and five days I wasted on his ass.

Do yourself a favor.

Even though I know it's finally legal for you,

Never, ever get married.

I was engaged once.

Kept the dog, got rid of the man.

Wish I could have been as smart as you.

Why don't you come out with me tonight?

No, I have work to do.

You cannot waste that outfit on this office.

I am not about to go trolling on some boy hunt with you.

Luckily for you, it's not my designated trolling night.

I'm going to a place with a sexy crowd, great food, strong drinks.

Fine.

Only because this dress deserves an audience.

Damn straight.

Either way.

Crimson.

Crimson. Okay, Crimson.

Movie.

One word.

Fifteen.

Alien? No.

That's brief.

That's brief.

No. Okay.

Play a club.

Glee.

I said it fast.

The wrestler.

Chicago.

Fame. That's fame.

Keep playing. I'll get it.

Come in. Don't stop. Yeah. Oh, what?

That's an uncut video.

Oh, hi.

We're just playing charades.

Putty tank.

You got burlap.

Felicia.

Yes. Burlap. That's it.

Why didn't you just pretend like you were taking a dump? Would have made it a

lot easier.

Your signature there.

On the next page.

And right there.

So listen, Sean.

I expect Naomi to adhere to her part of this deal, which means she's out of

Atlanta in 48 hours and she's never to contact me or Keisha ever again.

Don't you worry about Naomi. She'll uphold her into the bargain.

Good.

As for the investigation on Frank's jewels, well, that's just heating up.

And just so you know, I'll be out there gathering firewood to watch them burn

your ass to the ground.

What is it with you, man?

Why are you so obsessed with me? I mean, seriously.

Is all this because of Keisha?

You know what I see when I look at you, Malcolm?

The emperor and his new clothes.

You're just a lying, deceitful fraud.

In fact, you're just a criminal impersonating a CEO.

Now, as for Keisha, well, I just spoke with her yesterday.

And if she's still with you now, well, she won't be for much longer.

Well, we're done here.

Why don't you see yourself out?

Goodbye, Sean.

So, Felicia had a downer dinner with her ex -husband.

I think she might be having actual feelings.

Stop.

Hey there, boss lady.

Let me know if you want me to play on your team. You know, I kill at these

games. I'll let you know if I require your services.

What?

Dirty martini, extra dirty.

Thank you.

All right, guys, who's ready for the next game of charades?

Not you.

Let's raise the stake.

Whoever loses has to finish their drink.

Oh, okay, fine.

Prepare for defeat.

Game night, Felicia, not Game of Thrones.

Just to be clear, no heads are going on spikes.

Well, how else is this supposed to be from?

Movie.

Two words.

Second word.

Oh, it sounds like. Sounds like.

Running. Pitter -patter. Riding. Rolling.

Rolling. Horseback.

Jumbo. Riding.

Horseback riding. Bike. Bike, bike, bike. Okay. Bike, bike, bike. High ride.

Okay. Okay, you lost. I don't even know what that is. That's kind of weird.

Magic Mike?

She got it.

I feel like we all won that one.

There it is.

Signed, sealed, and delivered.

A part of me doesn't want to know, but how the hell did you get Malcolm to give

you 10 % of his company?

You're not going to tell me, are you?

Of course I'm going to tell you.

I performed an invaluable service.

And what service was that?

That's the part I can't tell you.

Never a boring moment with you.

That's for sure.

You've been good to me, Sean.

I won't forget that.

I'm sad to see you go.

But I know it's probably for the best.

And just so you know, I'll be staying on top of the DA to make sure that they

bring Malcolm down.

Do what you have to with Malcolm, but don't mess with the company.

I own 10%. I can't make any promises.

What's with your vendetta against Malcolm anyway?

Malcolm's a wolf in sheep's clothing.

He's a manipulator, and I don't trust him.

And furthermore, I don't like him.

Or is it because he's with Keisha?

Maybe it has something to do with you.

Malcolm seems to think that he can monopolize every woman in Atlanta.

Or just your two favorite women.

Take care of yourself, Naomi.

Oh, Sean.

I always do.

Okay,

okay, okay, great. Raquel, you're on. Boy band.

Emblem 3.

The wanted, or, uh, uh, give me one, give me one. Oh, One Direction, One

Direction. Wait, hold up. How am I supposed to kill, marry, or bang an

band? It's a concept. It's not, like, literal.

And go. You're stalling.

Um, um, um, okay, fine. Um, I'd bang the wanted because clearly they're hot. And

I would marry Emblem 3 because they wouldn't sweat me for a green card.

And, um, ooh, I would kill One Direction because they're way overexposed. What

are you talking about? I love One Direction.

Until you end up in jail for statutory rape.

Okay. They're all over 18.

Someone's done her homework.

Felicia? Yeah, movie stars.

Brad Pitt, Will Smith, George Clooney. Thought you would make this difficult.

Um, I would bang Brad Pitt and give Angie that home record taste of oral

medicine.

I would marry Will Smith. Well, we could use Will Smith.

And I...

kill George Clooney because he's old.

Whoa, you killed George Clooney?

Yes, he's well off into his 50s. What do you expect me to do with that? It's

George Clooney. It's George Clooney. It's George Clooney. Okay, don't pretend

like either one of you would date some woman well into her 50s. Why would you

expect me to date a man well into his 50s? Ew.

I'm starting to see what you like about her. Okay, Omar.

TV nerd.

Ew. Screech.

Oh, um, Urkel and...

Carlton Banks. I thought you said this was going to be hard. Why'd y 'all give

me the easy one? I would pill screech because he's ugly.

I'd marry Urkel because smart nerds usually end up rich.

I'll bang the hell out of Carlton Banks.

Ew.

You know why?

You know, come on.

You look ridiculous.

Wow.

His butt thing.

Oh, my God. Face.

Gross.

That was weird. Ridiculous.

Oh, my goodness.

I have to say, I thought you would be a little upset when you found out it was

just game night in my friend's house, but you're kind of having fun, aren't

I have to take this.

Billet, what is with the pretty places between you and Karen?

What? What? I don't know what you're talking about. This is my normal face.

I thought the way you two were looking at each other.

Oh, oh, because you could actually see anything past David's crotch in your

face? Oh, yeah.

You think Felicia noticed that?

Oh, no, no, not at all.

I... only brought him is the ringer i'm so tired of losing a game night really

yes really that's the only reason you brought him yes okay yes whatever it is

david and i are doing it's evolving oh i didn't tell you i met his family the

other night yeah oh wait i did not bring you in here to talk about david that

was good it was good how you like turn that back on me no girl you gotta teach

me that talent

I talk about it, I get it. Well, actually, I don't get it because I kind

You sprung that on me with no warning, and you know me better than anyone else.

You know I hate surprises.

Yes, it was a surprise.

You've only been dating her for two months, and we tried to get pregnant for

years.

Oh, come on. You know, I don't even want to hear it. You blame me for

everything.

Oh, so I suppose you called to drop the other half of the bomb on me? What,

you're getting married?

What do you mean, why not?

Oh, is that what your lawyer said?

Okay, let me tell you something. If you think for one second that I'm about to

support you, your bikini model, and that brat she has baking in her belly,

you've got another thing coming.

Uh -huh.

Yeah, uh -huh. My lawyer will be calling your lawyer.

Felicia, we were not eavesdropping, actually. We were already in here

Well, she was asking me about Terrence because she's always worried about me

getting involved. I get it, I get it. You weren't eavesdropping.

How much did you hear?

I mean, we really didn't hear that much.

Pretty much all of it? Yeah.

Can I trust you to keep it to yourself?

Of course.

I mean, you don't think that both of us have been exactly where you are right

now? Well, I mean, not exactly where you are right now, but... Listen, Alicia,

my ex -husband gave me divorce papers on my birthday.

And he...

wrapped it up in this beautiful box with a bow, and he was like, yeah, surprise,

baby, happy birthday.

Oh, and I'm taking half your trust fund.

And my fiancé, I caught him bending a girl over a couch at my engagement

Wow.

I feel better.

I have to say, I did enjoy myself this evening.

Although next time, I'll have my chef prepare the hors d 'oeuvres.

So good to see you too, Felicia.

Yes, it was such a great surprise.

There you are.

You know what? I'm about ready to go, although I cannot find my purse.

Oh, your bag. Wait, um, I know exactly where it is.

Excuse me.

Okay, so April and I actually had, like, a real conversation with Felicia.

And it was, I mean, it was kind of amazing. I think we even made her feel

better. Oh, my God.

I knew all of my ladies would eventually get along.

Call me crazy, but I could actually see myself hanging out with her again.

What?

So, Felicia, um, do you want to go get coffee before work tomorrow?

Face yourself, Delma. We're not going over the cliffs just yet. Right. It's

better. Elmar?

Yes? Allow me to drape this for you.

Thanks. Good night, little one.

Au revoir. Bye.

So, I guess you're going home with David, huh?

No, he's just my ride.

Oh, I'm sure he is.

Where is all of this sound coming from? Oh, gee, I wonder.

Looks like you have a little helper there.

Call me if you need anything.

Whatever.

Bye.

See you later.

Bye, Terrence. Thanks for the drink.

You're welcome.

Why don't you just stay tonight?

Thanks for the offer, but it's okay.

Besides, I think somebody else wants to stay over.

Him? Oh, come on, girl. He should help and clean up. Are you really going to

like you two aren't together?

I don't know that we are yet. I mean, I don't even know what this is.

I'll tell you what it is.

Danger.

Keisha, please let's not confuse Terrence for Malcolm.

I hope you're right.

I mean, but who knows what's going to come out next?

Every time I think I know the worst of it, something else pops up.

I don't know how I'm going to get through this.

Sure you do.

With us supporting you every step of the way. I know, but it feels like...

It feels like he broke something inside of me that can't be fixed.

Don't say that.

Do not say that.

Keisha, hearts might break, but they break open, and they let even more love

inside. And I know that sounds cheesy, and I know that's not the way you feel

right now, but I promise you it's true.

You're my family, you know that?

And you're mine.

I just want to go home and get in a hot bath.

Sounds like a good idea.

Yeah. Now, you call me if you need anything, okay?

I'm serious.

Anytime, day or night.

Okay? Okay.

Love you.

You have fun at Raquel's?

Uh, yeah.

Terrence told me.

Well, as a matter of fact, I did.

Yes,

you certainly did.

You got my text, baby.

It's weird.

What we just did.

It's like different from our usual hostility sex.

I know.

But it wasn't bad, huh?

No, it was actually pretty good.

But I don't think they're complicated now that our off sex has upgraded to

homesick. Could you imagine if Alicia caught on?

I don't think you'll have to worry about that.

What do you mean?

Look, I've been waiting for the right time to tell you this.

Tell me what?

I'm leaving price management.

What?

I'm finally going to do it.

I'm going to start my own firm and take as many clients as I can with me. Look,

I'm tired of busting my ass just to make Felicia look good.

I mean, did you hear her tonight?

All that ex -husband talk?

Well, you heard that?

Of course.

I'm a champion eavesdropper, among other things.

I don't know. I thought it was kind of sad.

Are you kidding me?

I can smell the weakness on her.

She's vulnerable.

Now's the perfect time to strike.

I'll take half the company. She won't even know it.

Better yet, I'll take more than half.

You thirsty?

Tonight was pretty cool, huh?

Yeah, it was fun, right?

Yeah, but some of your friends are a trip. Yeah, well, that's why I love

Hey, so how's Keisha doing? I saw you two out there on the balcony.

Oh, she's not good. I told her she could spend the night, but she didn't want

to. So what about me?

Can I spend the night?

Depends. Are you going to take that phone call?

No, I'm going to ignore it.

Wait, it's Malcolm.

Yeah.

Just got word.

Deacon's dead.

When? What happened?

Don't know.

Don't know. Apparently there was some sort of a fire at his warehouse tonight.

Where are you and why are you whispering?

I'm home, Terrence, with Keisha.

She's asleep.

Oh.

Anything else I should know?

No.

Look, I gotta go. We'll talk later.

What happened?

What happened is we don't have to worry about Deacon anymore.

Because he's dead.

Next,

on Single Ladies.

There's an article about the fire at Deacon's. It says that they're looking

foul play. It has nothing to do with us, okay?

Where were you that night, Malcolm?

You really believe that I'm capable of doing something like this?

Don't go giving the new girl too much too soon because then she get clingy. I

would appreciate a phone call. It's like dog years.

Every seven hours for you is like an hour for us.

Wait, so I'm the dog in this scenario?

You the dog.

Listen, I hate keeping it from Keisha, but it has to be done. I mean, you know,

a man's got to do what a man's got to do, right?

How did I... not see he was lying? I mean, his mouth was moving. Of course he

was lying.

You were just hypnotized by the deed.

Happens to the best of us.

What? Uh -oh.

What? Looks like Terrence is doing a little moving and shaking of his own.
