If a role model is a strong,
accomplished, confident woman, then Mae

Toni Morrison, Kathleen Battle, and our
very own Andell will certainly fit the

bill.

But based on that Tumblr routine Andell
performed down Suicide Hill, obviously

her role models are Mary Lou Retton,
Carrie Strug, and Dominique Dahl.

She probably would have gotten a perfect
10 had she stuck her land in.

Don't move a muscle, baby.

Frank, what is it?

Your beauty.

I just want to bask in it.

Oh, look at that.

Isn't love beautiful?

It must be nice to know you have someone
who cares that much about you. Yes, it

is, Mom.

I mean, sometimes we take for granted
how wonderful it is to have someone you

can depend on in times of need. Mm -hmm.
We're really blessed. You know, I'm

blessed, too. I mean, if I was laid up
and I needed someone to take care of me,

I know y 'all would be there for me.

Uh, we're not gonna be here for you much
longer, Mo, if you don't get to the

point. Okay, look.

Angelle tore the meniscus in her knee,
and she has to have surgery.

Wow. Oh, baby, that sounds serious.

The 10 out of 10 surgeries are.

She's gonna be out of commission for
about two weeks.

Oh, poor thing.

And you know what's worse?

She has no one to take care of her when
she gets home.

It's like she's little orphan Andale.

No one to proper feed her, cook her
meals, or administer her medication when

pain becomes so excruciating that... Uh,
no, close the deal.

Can Andale stay with us?

Sure.

Of course.

She's been a good friend, and we'd love
to help her.

Well, since we're opening our house to
the infirm, Q's getting his wisdom teeth

pulled. Ooh, good for him, Pumpkin.

Well, what's Andel doing about the den,
Moe?

See, we've got that covered.

I'm gonna run it.

Oh, no, no, no, baby, I don't know about
that. Moe, that's a big responsibility.

Daddy, it's only part -time. Besides,
I'm there all the time anyway.

This way I get paid for it. And Hakeem
has agreed to help me close the night.

Oh, that makes me feel much better.

You know, Frank, if Andale trusts her to
do this, maybe we ought to let her try.

Okay, Mo.

Just as long as it doesn't interfere
with your schoolwork.

I love you guys.

Oh, we love you.

There you go. Oh, here. Put this under
her neck. All right.

All right.

All right.

Thanks for letting me stay. I hope I'm
not putting you guys down. No, no, no.

We're glad to have you, Andell. Well,
I'm off to the den. Bye, Andell. Bye,

Barry. See you later.

Now, Andell, I hope you're going to be
comfortable in here. But this does fold

out into a sleeper.

Oh, snap.

Now, see?

Now, see? Why didn't you let her brother
know?

I mean, I could have been spending the
night over here and already be here for

breakfast.

That's why we didn't let her brother
know.

Look, I want you to act like I'm not
even here. Boo -Boo, could you get me

water? It's time for me to take my
medicine.

Okay. One glass of water coming up.

Yeah, I got to get out of here, too. I
got to go catch the bus to see Get on

Bus.

Is that a real plant?

Yeah, yes, it is.

Well, then this is a real sneeze coming.

I'm allergic to plants.

All plants?

No, just real ones.

Oh, um, I'm sorry.

No, that's okay. I'll just take it
outside.

Oh, it's okay. You didn't know. I just
have allergies. That's all. Like, for

instance, this throw rug. Is it real
wool?

Actually, it's acrylic.

Ah, just like I thought. I'm allergic to
anything synthetic.

We'll roll it up, then. Oh, I don't want
to be no trouble.

Here's your water, Annabelle.

Oh, thank you.

Are you okay?

What, your medicine's stuck in your
throat?

It's the water. It must be tap. I can
taste the dirt.

It's okay, though. You know, dirt is
like nature's Ovaltine.

Well, uh...

Frank will just run down to the store
and get you some bottled water. Won't

Frank? Yeah, yeah, sure.

Well, since you're going out, could you
stop by the fruit stand and get me some

organic lemons?

Oh, here. And drop this by the phone
company.

And here's a dollar.

Pick me up a lot of your tickets.

Any particular numbers?

Oh, you pick them. Just no 9s, 6s, 3s,
4s, or 7s.

Got it.

Stay in here.

My air purifier.

Do you mind going by my apartment and
getting it?

No problem.

I'll be right back.

All right.

Little man.

Yes, Annabelle?

See that suitcase over there?

It's got body. videos in it. I tape all
my soaps. Would you mind stacking them

over there?

By date and show title. You can read,
can't you?

Coming through, coming through, coming
through. Yeah, yeah.

Well, actually, it's a party of three,
you see.

Niecy fainted a half hour ago, so we
called a cab and sent her to Burger

Well, um, this table is for party of
four.

Yeah, look at my girl just running
things.

Mm, and look at my boy just about to
lose his seat.

Trudy.

Lamp.

I'm sitting down, kidsy. Yeah.

What's up with this bill?

I'm saying we didn't even order yet.

Hakeem, that's your bill from 94 through
96.

Kim, you're in a little better shape.
Yours is only due in 95.

And you, baby, that's obviously during
our space period when you ate away your

depression.

Well, what you need to do is put some
space between me and that bill, okay?

She's wild.

No.

I know what she's doing.

Me and my mom do this all the time at
the Magic Johnson Theater.

I'll slide her some money, and she'll
slide it back to me with the goobers.

I'm with it, Mo.

Hey, Mo, I'm picking up the tabs for
everybody.

Here's my $10.

Okay, but this is going to chip away
your interest.

So you mean I don't get my money back?

No. You keep that chip, and you won't
have a plant.

Check this shit. I've been thinking.

Since you in charge and all, and you my
girl and all, I was wondering if I could

throw another set here, you know, to
help you out and all.

Aw, baby, I was thinking about me.

So you with it?

Yes. All I need is half the rental fee
up front, cash.

What?

Cash advance?

Sammy, Andell just split the door.

Andell is not here, is she?

So what you saying?

I said half the rental fee, up front
cash. You know, it's time you help us

the stacks and bills, bruh.

Yeah, but I still get to eat for free,
right?

Okay, I can see you guys are just
loitering. You're going to have to get

seats up to the paying cup. Whoa, wait.

Yeah, okay, Mark. Hey, watch your car
tonight for some ticking sound.

Tick, tick, tick.

Hey,

Mrs. Mitch.

Hey, Hakeem. I heard Hakeem, so dinner
must be ready.

No, dinner's a half an hour late.

Why so late?

Between icing the queen's meniscus,
doing her laundry, and mailing her

address cards, well, it seems I got a
little bit behind schedule. Too bad I

didn't have a little help. What was I
supposed to do?

Between mowing her lawn, feeding two of
the ugliest cats I've ever seen, and

then tracking down J .W. to get her car
back, my day was pretty full, too.

At least you guys were out. Every time I
tried to leave, it was boo, get this,

boo, get that.

She called me boo.

Tom, I'm Casper, and I ain't feeling it.

Hello?

Some people just don't get it. Mm -mm.

Don't know when to go home.

Oh, man, this looks good to me.

Let me just take a little sip.

What's that smell?

Open the window. Something stinks.

Excuse me.

What did you just say?

Are you using dill?

I'm allergic.

And Ella, you're making this list up as
we go along.

I'm not really allergic. It just makes
me nauseous. I think it's because when

mother was pregnant with me, she OD'd on
dill pickles, and now every time I

smell dill, I get morning sickness.

Would you like me to make something
different for you?

Oh, no, no. Just, you know, get the
smell out the house. You know, open a

windows, throw that...

If I get nauseous, somebody's going to
have to help me to the bathroom, but I

might not make it.

Hello.

Yeah, she's here.

It's for you.

Oh, thank you, Frank.

Hello.

Yeah, I accept the charges.

Frank,

it's a private call.

Family meeting.

Report to the living room.

She's got to go.

I will make the decisions in my house.

Dee, she's got to go.

Yeah, we're getting played in our own
crib. Yeah, yeah, that's right. Going to

tell you how to make my food.

Frank, honey, what are we going to do?
The doctor said she can't leave for

another week. Yeah, well, if she can't
leave, I have to. Oh, no, you don't.

You're not leaving me. What do you mean
I'm not leaving you? I'm not going to

stay here.

to disturb Andel.

Andel is already disturbed.

You brought her here. You got to get her
out. What happened to Will do anything

to help her?

We're trying to help her not get killed.

You guys are not right. We're supposed
to be here for Andel. Well, why aren't

you here? Yeah.

Hello, I'm doing my part at the den.

Yeah, well, if you do your part at home
like you do at the den, then Andel

should be gone in no time.

Yeah, yeah. What's the verdict? Well,
there's good news and bad news.

Well, I see the good news.

Well, the bad news is you re -injured
your meniscus.

Uh, Doc, could you run the good news by
us? Because we seem to have missed that.

Well, thanks to Ann Dell's remarkable
recouped powers, she should be up and

about in no more than two weeks. Two
weeks?

Well, is there anything we can do to
help her?

Well, keep her leg elevated and
immobilized.

Keep her calm and no sudden stimulation.

Ooh, too late for that, Doc.

an appointment to see me in two weeks.
We'll see how you feel then. My heart on

my knee.

Doc, is there any chance she can heal
faster?

Any chance she can heal at home?

No, I find the patients that recover the
fastest are the ones who have loving,

supportive people around them. She seems
to like you, Doc.

She won't after she gets my bill.

Good night. I'll let myself out. Good
night.

I know what you're thinking.

I doubt that.

Some told me to walk, so I did.

Some told me, conquer that fear or deal,
so I did.

Wish that same something would tell you
to go home.

Look, I know things have been a little
rocky, but, you know, now that we know

each other's rhythms, I'm sure that
these next three weeks together will go

really smooth.

He said two.

Two, three, four, hey.

The most important thing is that you get
better, okay?

You're part of our family now, and we're
going to take care of you.

Yeah, one way or another.

We're going to let you get your rest,
okay?

Mo, you are so sweet. First you take
care of Dan, now you're taking care of

Thanks for everything.

Oh, you're welcome. Come on, Daddy.

Oh, sweetie.

Gotta go to sleep sometime.

Listen, don't worry, okay? They'll be
back when you go outside and hand out

those balloons and flyers.

Do you rollerblade?

Dang,

you look lonelier than Penny without
Shaq.

I can't. Where's everybody?

Same at the den since new management
took over.

And we're always exaggerating. Everybody
doesn't feel that way.

Well, let's just ask the people.

Oops, they're not here.

Well, at least my best friend's got my
back. What do you want to order?

I just came here to get my jacket.

I left it on a chair somewhere.

Oh, but what do you know? It's still
here.

Untouched by a human hand.

Put yourself in my shoes.

If I ran this place like Andell, there
would not be a den.

Well, let's just poll the people.

Oops, they're not here.

Moesha, it's Tuesday.

And tomorrow's Wednesday. What's your
point?

It's payday.

Oh.

Uh,

well, we're going through a little dry
spell right now.

When it starts raining cash, you'll get
this back.

I wish they'd bring back different
strokes.

Hi, Endell.

Hey, Mom. How's things going at the den?

Well, according to the books, you've
never had a week like this.

We broke a record? Shut up.

I knew I could count on you, Mom. You're
just like I was when I was your age.

Smart, savvy, gorgeous.

Forgive me.

Oh, don't sleep with him, girl.

Now, look, if we cut the phone line,
she'll leave.

No, no, no. If we really want to make
her uncomfortable, we'll cut off the

electricity. No, I got one. I got one.
Why don't we plant your jewelry in her

hand and call the cops? Oh, that's nice.
Oh, really? What are you guys talking

about? Oh, just in time.

Strategy session.

Well, we've got to get Andell out. Yes,
we've got to. And I need a few more days

to recuperate.

I mean, she needs a few more days to
recuperate. You know what they say?

a thin line between a sick man and a
dead man.

That's what we're hoping, Pumpkin.

Y 'all want to hear that knocking?

I'll get it.

What are you guys doing here? Miss
Shorty, what's up? We're here to see Ann

Dell. This is business.

What business?

Her business.

Yeah, and how you're killing it.

You and your no -credit policy, your
time limit on tables, and watered -down

smoothies. Ann Dell would never do that.

Excuse me, I'm just running the den like
a real business.

A real business has customers.

Adele, she'll be out here walking.

And it sounds like you shouldn't be
running my business.

She shouldn't, Adele. She wouldn't even
let me throw my set there. Yeah, yeah,

she made me pay my bill.

And she dang near star, poor Onisi.

I thought you said we were doing good,
that you shattered the record.

Well, I didn't exactly say which one.

Adele, I was going to tell you. When?
After the foreclosure?

Just before.

Okay, but if you have the jewelry...
Yes, yes. When do I plan in on it? As

as she goes to sleep. She sleeps like a
bear in winter.

Frank, I'm putting you on notice.
Whatever your daughter lost me, you got

me. What?

Moe, you should have ran my business in
the ground while I'm hanging around here

trying to keep y 'all company.

What kind of people are you anyway?

You invite somebody into your home, then
you mistreat them, and ruin their

livelihood.

Cripple or not, I'm going back to the
den.

Excuse me.

And I'll send for my things.

They'll be home before you are.

Daddy, I am so sorry. The customers ran
off and there was a pest. I had to wear

that clown suit.

Thank you. Thank you.

Angel admitted that she was milking her
injury because she liked being around

it. It made her realize how lonely
living 3 ,000 miles away from her family

could be.

So I told Dad and Dee, if she misses
family that much, maybe we should give

miles to ease her pain.

Well, it was just a thought.

Bye. Bye.
