Dorian, this isn't how I wanted you to
find out.

I'm not your uncle, Dorian.

I'm your father.

Frank, how long are we going to wait
before you told us? This is crazy.

Dorian, listen.

Dorian, man, wait up.

You cheating on Mom? Just let me
explain. What is there to explain,

You lied.

You lied to me, to Mom, to everybody in
this family. Oh, it's not that simple.

Shut up!

What's up with that bar?

Moving out. You are?

Yeah. I've decided to move into the
dorm.

You're going to be down, come on.

Got to do what I got to do.

Got to move on.

I don't know.

I don't know.

I don't know. Alicia.

Alicia.

How was work, Dee?

What are you doing home?

Oh, I left early, baby. I thought we
could spend some time together. You

maybe go for a walk or something.

Frank, did you ever consider that I've
been on my feet all day?

Oh, I would think after all these years,
they would have given you a chair.

Hey, Dad D, you think I can bring a girl
to Dorian's birthday party?

Well, honey, I don't know if Dorian's in
the mood for a birthday party.

Why not?

It's still his birthday.

Well, sweetheart, when people are upset,
they sometimes need time to work things

through before carrying on with old
plans.

Well, I don't know, D.

Dorian never mentioned canceling his
birthday party, so why should we assume

that he wants to?

I'm not assuming, Frank.

I'm considering his feelings.

Usually that's how people make
decisions.

Does this fight have anything to do with
me?

I'll be in my room.

Well, Dee, I think we can just clear the
whole thing up by asking Dorian what he

wants to do.

Fine, Frank.

Dorian, would you come in here for a
minute, please?

Yeah, what is it?

Dorian, do you still want to have your
birthday party this weekend?

Yeah, why?

Because if you need time to think about
it, we'll understand.

There's nothing to think about.

Or have you changed your mind about
letting me have my party? Not at all,

Dorian. Cool.

So is it all right if I invited 30 more
people?

Do you think they can all fit in the
house?

Yeah. My friends are smaller than your
friends.

Well... Then it's okay.

Thanks. Anything else?

No, that's all right.

Well, Dee, I'd still like to go for that
walk.

Well, have fun, Frank.

Ow, Mo, what are you trying to do?

Hey, girl, it's not my fault you're so
tender -headed.

I don't know why you're going through
all this anyway, Niecy. Ain't nobody

to invite you anywhere for Valentine's
Day.

Well, if you're finished, Joaquin, can I
have my business?

Mo, did anybody invite you to the
Valentine's Day dance?

Please, Macy, the last thing I need in
my life right now is another lying man.

Things haven't gotten any better at
home, huh?

Ask Hakeem. I try to limit my time over
there.

Where has that gotten you? You know
what, Mo?

You need to work through this. I can't
even look at that man right now, Hakeem.

Why not? Because you found out that he's
human?

Please, Hakeem. The father I remember
wouldn't even lie to me like that. Come

on, Mo. Look, I'm through talking about
it, Hakeem. I don't want to talk about

it no more. Uh, Mo.

that I'm done, Lacey. Girl, I'm not
talking about that. You're pulling my

Hey!

I'm here!

Now, which one of you is my new
roommate?

Well, I know it can't be you, even
though this is L .A. and everything.

Um, hi, I'm Moesha, your roommate.

These are my friends, Lacey and Haki.
Hi, Moesha.

Moesha, if my favorite food was Isha and
I wanted second, then I'd want you.

Moesha!

memory exercises.

Excuse me, uh, what do you want this
about? Oh, just put it anywhere.

I hope all the guys in the dorm are this
nice.

Thank you, Donald.

It's, uh, it's Derek.

Remember, rhymes with Eric.

It's Eric.

Never mind.

And, uh, you are? Uh, Niecy.

And? Um, Malisha.

Hi. It's nice to finally meet you.

Finally? You were in my econ class last
semester.

Well, until I dropped it. Oh, yes. Oh,
wait.

You know what?

There are more boxes in the lobby
upstairs.

Would you mind bringing them down while
I do, you know, the bonding thing with

my new roomie?

Brother, I could use some extra muscle.

So could he.

Yeah, and you can use a date.

to call me Reesey.

Well, what do they call you now? I have
a few suggestions.

Did I introduce myself?

Oh, hi.

I'm Teresa Logan.

I'm from Dillingham, Alaska, and I've
always wanted to come to L .A. and go to

big movie star parties, and I'm your new
roommate.

You know what?

This is super, Mo.

Now, why don't you two go ahead and get
acquainted.

I'm going to go to my room and be glad.

If you're an otter.

Oh, look.

You know what? I've been there my whole
life, and I'm so ready for new

experiences, like short sleeves and
sandals and sun.

I decided to see for myself.

And I wasn't waiting until the day of
the party.

How's he doing? He's fine.

He seems fine.

Miles, would you excuse us for a minute,
please?

Thought you'd never ask. Thanks, Aunt
Sandra. You're welcome, baby.

Are you happy now that you've told
Dorian that I'm not his real mother? Oh,

on, Sandy. You know this was a mistake.

Oh, how convenient.

What are you getting at, Sandra?

Dear, this really has nothing to do with
you. Yes, it does.

It's my home. It's my family.

Frank, you've been determined to tell
Dorian the truth for years.

It's hard for me to believe that it just
simply slipped out. Well, that's

exactly what happened. So you should be
mad at Aunt Hattie and not Frank.

Why, Frank?

We agreed to wait until Dorian was 18.
Why couldn't you stick to that? Well,

what do you want me to do, Sandy? You
want me to lie in the boy's face and

a whole year to tell him the truth?

Dorian, look who's here. Mama.

What's up?

That's right, baby.

How you doing?

I'm cool, chilling, you know.

Boy, look at you.

Oh, 17 years old.

Are you ready for your party? Yeah, it's
gonna be off the hinges.

The only thing, though, I don't have
anything to wear.

The birthday boy has to be clean, you
know what I'm saying?

Wait a minute, Dorian, didn't we just
buy you some new clothes?

Don't worry about it.

Mama's gonna hook you up.

Thanks, Mom.

Oh, oh, I wanted to ask you one more
thing. Yeah, what's that?

Well, you were right about the house
getting crowded.

And since the word got out, even more
people want to come.

So is it okay if I move the party to
Osiris?

Osiris?

That's nothing but a pickup joint.

Or so I've heard.

And isn't it a little late to book a
club for a party?

I know the DJ.

He said it wouldn't be a problem, and he
can get you a deal.

Dorian, this is all so sudden. I mean,
what about your guests? I'm going to

sure everybody knows about the move.
Everybody. I think it's a great idea.

Yeah, well, I think it's a good idea,
too, but... Hey, if you don't want me to

have a party, you can just tell me.
Dorian, that's not what I'm saying.

Look, you give me the information. I'll
book it for you.

Thanks. All right. All right.

Dorian? Hey, Mo.

What's up, Hakeem? What are you doing
home?

I got a party to plan.

You coming, right?

Boy, don't try to play me. Why aren't
you at school?

I'm going shopping with my mom.

What? And Mr. Mitch let you miss school
for that?

What's he got to do with it?

So, y 'all coming to my party or what?

I don't know, Dorian. I don't really
feel that comfortable being in the house

around Dad.

Well... That won't be a problem, because
it's not at the house anymore.

It's at Osiris. What?

Osiris? Yeah. This Saturday?

Yeah. Yo, that's you, man? Yeah.

Camp was hard about this party, boy.
Everybody's supposed to be coming.

So I'm big man on campus, and I don't
even go there yet.

So how about it, Moe? You coming or
what?

Come on, Dorian, what are you thinking?
Frank Mitchell is not going to pay for

some club just so you can floss for your
friends?

Guess again.

He already has.

What?

Act of Congress to get him to let me
have my last birthday party at the den.

Am I right again?

I'm just here to help you pack some
boxes. Why don't I get on that?

Yeah.

So, uh, did you get him to go for this?

Well, between my charm and his guilt, he
had to give me what I want.

You're not that charming, Dorian.

Well, maybe he's that guilty.

I mean, after 17 years, don't you think
he owes me something?

You think a party or some club is going
to make up for what he did?

No.

But the payback's got to start
somewhere.

Dee?

Frank, have you been keeping up with the
calls of Dorian's birthday party?

Dee.

Why are we still talking about Dorian's
party?

I just thought you'd be concerned about
how much we're spending.

I'm concerned that my wife is being cold
to me.

I'm concerned that my daughter won't
even speak to me.

I'm concerned that you're using this
party to make yourself feel better about

something that you've done.

No, Dee.

I just want to make sure that Dorian has
a good time. That's all.

Okay?

No, Dee.

No, it is not okay.

Now, look, you want to talk to me, let's
talk.

But please, stop shutting me out.

What do you want from me, Frank? I want
a connection, Dee.

I want something more than just going
through the motions.

Well, I don't know what to say to you,
Frank.

Well, say what's on your mind, baby.

Just don't walk around with this half
-hearted commitment to this marriage.

I mean, even if you feel that you have
to leave.

You want me to leave? No.

You want me to leave? I want you to talk
to me, Dee.

Okay? You want to talk? Then let's talk,
Frank.

I have dedicated myself to you, Frank
Mitchell. I have dedicated myself to you

and your entire family by being the best
wife and mother that I know how to be.

You've done that, Dee.

Oh, and is that why you kept the truth
from me, Frank, huh? Is that why you

me out, Frank?

I was wrong, Dee. I know it.

But, baby...

The secret existed so long and it got so
big, I was afraid that if I said

something, I was going to lose you.

And now, I don't even know if I can
trust you anymore.

Well, I don't know what I could do to
top this.

Well, you certainly went for the gold on
this one, Frank.

Even if you have to leave.

I was really bold, Frank.

Had to be all or nothing, Dee.

You couldn't last 15 minutes without me.

Not even five.

And once, a bear came right up to the
back of my dad's store.

And let me tell you, he was not looking
for the outhouse.

Look, you can smile.

Sorry I've been so down, but I've been
having family issues.

Oh, that's too bad.

Luckily, my family doesn't have that
many problems. My mom gets along with

of my stepdads.

Y 'all should go on Jerry Springer.

Well, I can think of a few stories.

I'd like to tell him.

Hi, Eric.

It's, uh, it's Derek.

Well, I was only off by one consonant.

Have a seat, Derek.

I, uh, didn't get a chance to thank you
for helping me with my things before.

Can I buy you anything?

Well, you know, I really could use a
Porsche.

Would you settle for a bagel if I
brought it to you really fast?

No thanks, Teresa.

But I wouldn't mind fitting for a
second. Hey, Marisha.

Hey, um, no, I'm not really in the mood
today.

See, it's that mood that baffles me.

You had a boldness about you last
semester.

Now you seem like someone who stole your
joy.

And you think that's your business?

No, no, but I do think it's a sin.

And my pop is a minister, so I feel like
it's my duty to eradicate it.

Ooh, all right, now!

So you think you can give me my joy
back?

The air must be running a little thin
upon that high horse of yours.

I'm not saying I can't give it back.

I'm just saying that I would be honored
to be in your presence when it gets

back. And that moment can happen
Saturday at the Vine.

Oh, I have something to do Saturday.

For breakfast, lunch, and dinner?

Yep. I guess so. Then you're free for
brunch.

All right, all right. I'll think about
it. Cool. Works for me. All right.

See you, ladies. Bye. Bye.

Bye.

Go ahead.

Or at least get your brunch on.

You look good, baby.

Are you sure you're all right?

Yeah, yeah, I'm cool.

Now, you know you can come home anytime
you want.

Thanks, Mom, but like I said, I'm cold.

Oh,

Miles, get your groove on.

Yes, Ma.

You're embarrassing me.

My bad.

You know, Dee, I want to thank you for
making this party a success.

It's the least I could do for Dorian.

And for giving us a second chance.

Well, Frank, we are not out of the woods
yet. I mean, I got a lot of feelings

that I need to sort out. I know, baby, I
know, and I respect that.

I just want to thank you for coming
along this far.

I'm Moesha, a childhood friend and
classmate of my king's. And I'm his

Well, I'm happy for the both of y 'all.

I have a date of my own I have to get
to, so I've got to get through any of

this.

Hey, y 'all.

We're just having fun.

Dorian, the record is offensive, and I
said take it home.

No! I was about to spank that ass.
Thomas!

What'd you do that for?

I already told you, Dorian.

Frank, don't embarrass him in front of
his friends. He's already embarrassed

himself and this entire family.

Frank, don't try to become his father
all in one day. He's being the father he

should be. I am speaking to Frank.

And I am speaking to you.

Hold up, y 'all. Hold up, everybody.

Dang, look what you're doing. I gotta
play something.

You can play anything you want, Dorian,
as long as it's not insulting to every

woman in this room.

Well, you DJ'd in.

Are you happy now, Frank?

No, Sandy, I'm not happy. But I am doing
the right thing.

Excuse me, I may be about the music,
Daddy.

But what about the rest of it?

Take a look around.

This isn't a party for a 17 -year -old,
Daddy. I don't even know what this is.

Moesha. And for the past week, I've been
trying to figure out who you are.

Evidently, you don't even know.

Moesha, that's not fair. Your father's
just trying to... Trying to what?

Buy himself a son?

Moesha.

Look, baby, walking away is not going to
solve anything.

I have someplace to go. All right, all
right, all right, Moesha.

All right, I understand that this is
difficult for you and it's going to take

you a while to adjust.

But I want you to understand something.
I am still your father.

And there's only so many times I'm going
to let you walk away from me.

Girl, you are the female Mac of the
year.

What? Well, Derek called four times
looking for you today. You have got that

cutie strung out and you haven't even
gone out with him yet.

Girl, I've got too much on my mind to be
worrying about a date. Getting a date

is all that is on my mind.

Well, that and I'm explaining to you how
I broke your hair dryer.

Hi,

Derek. I know I was supposed to meet
you, but I got so caught up with my

and... It's okay.

Really? Yeah.

You can explain on our next first date.

All right.

All right.

Okay. Good night.

Good night.

You think he's for real? I can go pinch
him. Okay, we'll pinch him.

Go pinch him!
