Previously on If Loving Was Wrong. Vicky just said you slapped her in the face.

You think you're gonna get custody of our little girl? She's gonna tell the

judge everything.

I'm trying to give my daughter a better life away from you.

Go somewhere, Eddie.

I think you should go somewhere too, Lou, and work on that marriage of yours.

I'm just going back for a bit.

You know what?

I'm gonna come with you.

They've been in there a long time. If I were you, I would go check on what's

going on in that house, and I wouldn't knock.

You mother... What the hell is wrong with you?

I thought it was... Can you get out? I can't stop you. Please.

What is that noise?

I, um... What? I just thought, um... What, what, what?

What's wrong with you? Why are you stuttering? See, I need to talk to you.

I know. You know, I've been calling you since you've ignored me. Well, talk, all

right? Well, where's that noise from?

Where are you going?

So, girl, what the... Hey.

Hey? Hey? That's all you have to say to me is hey?

I'm sorry.

What the hell is going on?

I was just... You know what?

You were just leaving. Wait, what?

Hell, look.

I bet they're too much, okay? I bet they're too damn much for this. You're

putting me out?

Hell yeah, I'm putting your ass out.

And who the hell is she?

She's just a friend.

In my bed.

I'm sorry.

You know what?

Get your ass out, okay?

Get out.

You too.

Kelly, what's going on?

I can't right now.

Look, no, I asked Natalie. I asked her what's going on. I asked you what's

on, and nobody says anything. Okay, you know what? Where is she?

She just went over to the house.

Okay. Do you need me to send over justice?

You know what? Can you keep him for just a little while longer, please? I just

have to handle this.

Handle what?

This.

Oh.

Okay. All right.

All right.

Yep, I'll be over there.

Hey.

Why was she in my house? We are not together.

You don't say.

So what is your problem?

Seriously, Terrell?

No part of your brain even computes that? How you just got out of jail, came

my house, and then bought a trick into my bed? That part, I'm sorry.

Yeah, you are. I know that we are not dating, and I've been in jail for a long

time, Kelly.

So, I mean, yeah, right, I called her.

I just wanted to get off. Oh, my God.

Who is she?

She's a friend from back in the day.

How far back in the day?

Is that Leslie?

You told me y 'all weren't together.

Kelly, that was nine years ago. You lied.

So you mad a lot about something not you said? Yeah.

Damn, that bitch look bad.

She clearly let herself go.

Well, you didn't let yourself go.

You look beautiful.

Don't even try it. I'm not trying anything.

I'm just happy to see you. No, you're trying to change the subject.

Kelly, I'm glad you're out.

And I'm glad, too.

So, how did you get out?

It all worked out.

The district attorney dropped the charges.

Well, that's amazing.

Yeah, it is.

Still mad at you.

You know I don't have anywhere to go.

My mother already said no. I know that.

So can I please stay here?

Terrell, you know what? This is a lie.

Okay, let me just... Let me talk to Justin first. All right. I want to see

Wait.

Go for a walk, okay? Give me a couple hours, and I will talk to him first.

You're right.

And you know what else?

You need to wash my damn sheets.

Yeah, I will. I don't want to see a trace of that bitch in my house. I don't

want a thread of her damn weed in my house. I promise you, I will clean every

speck. And flip my mattress.

Flipping the mattress.

Mattress flip, thank you. I'm going to take a shower and go get you.

All right.

And you need to do the same.

But you only have one bathroom.

What are you saying?

No, I mean, aren't you saying you want to... Boy, please.

I mean, okay.

Kelly, I was just asking.

Kelly.

What?

It's really good to see you.

I will figure out how good it is to see you once I have calmed down.

Oh, hey, that chick next door.

Natalie? Yeah.

What about her? She really got your back. She attacked me and Leslie.

Oh, that's not good.

Why not?

All right, kids, just give me a second. I need to talk to your mom.

Got a text.

Okay. How are you?

I'm good.

Smells good.

It's the pork chops.

Well, it smells good.

You want to tell me why you called me?

You tell me why I called you.

I don't know.

Eddie.

What about him? He was in this house.

He was?

Yeah, he just walked in.

I'm so sick of that bastard.

I don't like him either, but is he the bastard?

What are you talking about?

Okay.

You don't play these games.

He showed you the video? Yes, he did.

Look, yes, she kissed me.

Why? She said she was excited, all right? And I made it clear that there

nothing going on on my end.

So was there something going on on her end? No, she was just excited that she

was getting out of jail.

Just happened.

Just happened?

She just happened to kiss you?

Yes.

Hey, well, why did she text you?

Well, she texted me because she thought that you believed that Tyrell and that

girl were me and her.

Let me see it.

It's Dutch?

Yeah.

No. No? No, I'm not doing that.

No, no, no, no, okay? No, we're not going to do that, all right? We've been

through this before.

I'm not going to have you question me about my love and my commitment to you.

told you I explained word.

For word, what happened? I set it straight.

And Eddie, he just happened to be there, so he's trying to make something of it.

So I'm not allowed to ask any questions?

Not when it comes to you trusting me.

And you think that's fair?

Yeah.

Because I know the kind of man I am.

And you know the kind of man I am.

And I'm right.

Yes, you are.

Can I at least ask you one question?

Not when it comes to that.

Okay.

If I can't ask you a question, I will be asking her.

All right, well, go right ahead.

You texting her?

Maybe, maybe not.

Let me know when dinner's ready.

Mm -hmm.

He pushing, Eddie. Yeah, I will. He pushing.

Hey, how are you doing?

I'm good. How are you?

I'm good.

How's your wife?

As well as could be expected.

I could understand that.

Sorry. Nah, don't be.

Well, you know, Randall's been pestering everybody in the neighborhood.

So it seems, yeah.

So, just, you know, as long as you know, be aware.

Okay, thanks.

Wait, why do you keep dropping by so much at random times?

Well, uh...

It's in my nature.

It's my job.

Did you say anything else? Will you let me know?

Yep.

You haven't, have you? No.

Okay.

I have to be careful. I don't want her to see me because she thinks I'm

up on her.

I get it.

But you know what?

I will let Randall know to, you know, be on the lookout that you might be doing

some random stop bys.

Yeah. All right.

You do that.

I tried to file a police report on him.

No, really?

What happened?

Well, I ran into Eddie.

Eddie?

Say less.

He's a bit crazy, yeah? Yeah, you have no idea.

I think I know.

How'd it go?

Well, let's just say I didn't end up doing it.

Well,

you know, I can help you if you need.

Okay. Yeah, just, you know, come by tomorrow and pull out a statement.

Thanks. You got it.

Hey, and thank you for being one of the good guys.

Of course, man. Have a good one.

Hey, you too.

Hey, Lucian.

Let me holler at you for a minute, man.

How's it going?

Did a great job with Kelly.

Thanks.

I wasn't sure if I could trust you.

I thought you could.

No.

You said you did a great job.

You know, Larry had Carl come to the office today.

What?

Yeah. He offered him a job.

What did he do?

The kid held his own.

Held his own and just said what?

Well, you know, Larry offered him a job and he told him no.

All right, well, that's good.

Shit.

But Larry tricked me, man.

He got onto my phone the same time Carl called me and he saw it.

Oh.

Wow. Yeah.

So he fired me.

Are you serious?

I'm afraid so.

I'm sorry.

Yeah.

It was worth it.

I need to start my own practice anyway.

And it was a good thing.

Right after I threw him.

Who are you going to really go after?

He'll settle with me.

He knows I know where all the bodies are buried.

That's good.

Hey, um, have you seen Alex?

No, I haven't.

Why?

I need to talk to him.

You know what's going on?

I, uh, I don't know, man. It might be a long shot, but, uh, I slept with her

about the same time she got pregnant.

I want to know if the baby's alive.

You what?

Are you kidding?

No, man.

I met her on a dating app.

She slept with a lot of other guys as well, so who knows?

It's just when you think you know someone.

That's the craziest thing.

Yeah, yeah, I know.

So anyway, I think I'm going to knock on her door later and talk to her.

You know what?

You know, I can go talk to him for you. It's all right, man. I got it. You sure?

Yeah, definitely.

All right.

Okay.

Sorry about the job.

Yeah, well, that's all good.

See you later, man.

All right.

The game?

Is there a plan with you?

Got you.

I got you.

What the hell are you doing?

So you're painting?

Get away.

I want to show you something.

I said get away. Look!

See that?

That's your husband.

In my house.

Tanned it all apart.

I don't know what you're talking about. No, no, that's... That's him.

That's him.

You know what?

I'm sitting in after jail. You know what?

Open the door.

I'm not going to do that. Open the door. I'm not going to do that.

What?

What?

I'm calling the cops.

No.

Please don't.

No? I need him.

Why?

Because...

I need him. Please don't... Yeah?

Yeah. He's sorry. He's just trying to protect me, okay?

Protect you? Yeah.

Go on.

I... I told him you were looking at me.

Wait, you did what?

I'm sorry.

I can't. This is too much. Too much.

Too much. I mean, this is too stressful.

What's, uh... What's stressful? Stop it.

No, what's stressful?

You keep asking me questions, and you said you're going to send my husband to

jail. You can't send him to jail, please.

Is he a good guy?

Yeah. Yeah?

He's good?

Okay, well, hey, hey.

I am going to send him to jail. No, no.

Yeah, no, I am.

I can't. I am. I can't. You can't.

I can't. I can't.

You don't want him.

It's too stressful. I can't breathe. It's too stressful, right?

You can't breathe.

You can't breathe. Oh, don't hurt him, please. Don't take him.

Yeah.

Oh, there she is. No, no, no, no!

There's my girl.

It was all my fault. It was yellow.

Yeah. It was all my fault. It was all my fault.

All your fault, huh?

Can't breathe?

No. Just relax, relax.

Just breathe, okay?

Yeah.

Hey, um... Hey,

here, here, here.

Here, take this.

What is it? This will make you feel better.

What is it?

Come on.

There you go. It'll help.

I promise.

There you go.

There you go. Hey, hey.

You feel better now?

Hey. Are you going to send him to jail?

No, I'm not.

I'm not going to send him to jail. I promise.

I want you to rest. I promise you're not going to send him away.

Let me go. No, I can't. Let me go. Let me go. Don't go.

Let me go.

Don't go.

Let me go.

I'm going to go now.

I'll make you not go to jail.

I promise.

I won't send him to jail.

Here. Here.

Are you sure?

Yes. You'll feel better.

You'll feel better.

Trust me.

All right?

Okay.

I won't send him to jail.

Okay.

I promise.

Okay.

But if you tell him about this,

I will send him to jail.

Do you understand?

Promise. Promise.

I'm gonna go.

Okay. You promise?

Promise you'll come away? I promise.

Just rest.

Alright?

Okay. Those pills should be kicking in any moment now.

Should I take another?

You should probably have one more.

Okay?

If you start to feel more anxious...

Just take another one.

There.

There you go.

Hey. Don't snoop.

I won't.

Okay. Sleep well. Okay.

What the hell are you up to?

Looking over the stall watching me, Steven?

Don't be no fool.

I'll tell you that.

What the hell did you do to this door, Steven?

You need to talk, Eddie.

Open the damn door.

You open it.

This shit actually turned me up.

Grab what you can.

That just gets me going, Steven.

You want to play this little game?

Yeah, let's have that talk.

What do you need, SoCal?

So you're telling your daughter all these lies about me and Esperanza, huh?

I'll tell my daughter whatever the hell I want.

What are you going to do about it?

Beat your ass.

You think so?

I know so.

You think you can outrun us bowling?

Big boy?

I don't need to.

You sure about that?

Mm -hmm.

You ain't gonna shoot me.

Do you know who the hell you're talking to?

How are you gonna explain this one, huh?

I don't need an explanation to put a bullet in your podcast to even now open

door.

I'm going to start counting.

You're going to get on your phone.

You're going to call your daughter and you're going to say everything she's

saying about us friends and me in our lives.

And that her mother is a wonderful person.

That ain't going to happen, big boy.

I was hoping you'd say that.

What's going on?

Nothing.

Yeah, nothing.

I was just leaving.

Yes, you were.

Better make that call, Eddie.

I'll be seeing you.

Well, hello there.

Well, hello.

What the hell do you want?

Just the money you owe me.

Oh, the money I owe you? Oh, my boy.

I blew that on hookers and cocaine.

You know, I'm beginning to get the impression that you don't want to give

back.

Yeah, I don't.

Okay.

Do

it

now.

Do it now.

Am I supposed to scare me?

Maybe a little.

Well, it doesn't.

Is there anything that you care about?

Nope.

Anything that you love?

Oh, I love me some Eddie.

You see me?

Larry, I'm beautiful.

Oh, yes, you are beautiful.

Come on, you saw me naked.

I'm an absolute beast.

But I'm also a beast.

You think so?

Oh, yeah.

See, but I'm the type of beast...

That will eat my own young if I've been messed over.

You look like a big old pussycat to me.

You sure of this?

Nothing you care about.

How many times I gotta answer that stupid -ass question?

My bad.

That's such an asshole.

Hey.

Wake up. Hey.

Hi.

Hey.

Was it closing time?

No, we reopened at nine.

Oh, okay.

You ready to go home?

Yeah. Yeah, let's go.

No, sweetie, I mean you're home.

I'm not going back there.

I'm staying with you.

Alex. What?

Oh, let's go. No.

No, come on.

Alex, hey, hey, listen to me.

You know, you know how many people come here just trying to run away from their

lives?

Oh, come on. Don't try to save my soul. I'm trying to tell you the truth.

Okay.

I've seen it all.

Everything. You can come in here and you can try to drink your life away. You

can try to run away from it all. But when you wake up in the morning, it's

still going to be there. I know that. Then go home, sweetie.

My home is going to be with you.

Okay. Hey, that is so sweet. You are so sweet.

But you've only known me for a couple hours. Oh, come on.

Come on.

Don't you think I'm sexy?

Hell yeah.

Right? I mean, look at me. I've had three kids.

You... Right? I've only had five, but three kids. No, you're incredible.

Right? I'm so... So?

Don't throw me away.

Damn, girl.

You just met me.

I love you.

Okay. All right. Hey.

Okay.

Will you stop it? Come on.

Won't you just give me a chance?

Alex, listen, when you sober up and you come back here.

I'm perfectly sober right now. No, you're not. I am.

Come on, follow my finger.

No.

I am.

And this whole thing right now isn't working. Come on.

Go home.

Go home. Please.

Please, please, please. I need something.

Please, just give me just a little something to remember, please.

Oh, my gosh, Alex.

Hey, hey.

I just want a little escape, okay?

That's all.

A little escape. Please, I can't go back to that life. I gotta get away.

You want escape?

You really want escape?

Just a little something to help you escape.

I don't know if I can do it.

Well, I thought you wanted to.

Do you do it?

Yeah, from time to time I do. It's no big deal.

Okay.

Okay? You sure?

Yeah, I don't care.

Okay.

Roll your sleeves up, sweetie.

You ever done this before?

If I do this, can I stay with you?

You do this, you can stay with me forever.

Okay.

I want it.

I want it.

Please, I want it.

And you're about to get it.

That was good.

You sound surprised.

No, I'm... Yeah, you are.

It was really good.

You know what else was really good?

What? How good the kids were about it.

I know.

Yeah.

They didn't seem bothered.

They didn't, did they?

I'm still going to have to watch them closely, though.

Yeah, well, you did a really, really good job raising them.

Well, Alex did most of the work. Okay, let's not speak of her.

You all right?

You okay?

Yeah, I'm fine.

What's going on?

I mean, this is a lot. Are you okay with it all?

I'm going to have to be.

Yes, well, you have me.

Thank you.

You don't have to do this alone.

So I have you.

Yes, you do.

Just, um, you only accepted my proposal.

Yeah, well, think about that.

Think about what?

With all that you're going through right now, do you really want to talk about a

proposal?

Well, yeah.

I mean, you mean that much to me.

I know.

I know.

That's why we have to take it slow.

Yeah, yeah, yeah, slow.

Keep saying that.

I'm going to check on the baby.

Okay.

I know who you are.

Right, yeah. I was with Alex when she signed the divorce papers.

That's right.

What can I do for you?

Yeah, is she here?

I'd like to talk to her.

What do you want to talk to her about?

About her divorce.

Well, that's done, so why are you here?

Yeah, well, we got to do some logistical things and still do more papers on it.

Hi, Ian.

Hey, Marcy.

What's going on?

He's here to see Alex.

Oh, yeah, she's not here. She left him with the kids.

Oh, no.

Yeah.

Do you know where she went?

I don't know. Probably with one of the many guys she's dating.

It's okay.

Do you know she took the baby?

No, she left all the kids.

Oh, okay. Why?

I was just asking.

What's going on Ian?

Nothing. It's nothing.

I'll come back.

No, no, no, no, no.

I thought you looked familiar.

Excuse me?

No, I see these, uh, these texts right here.

Brad. I think this is you, isn't it?

It says...

Hey, Jennifer, I'd love to see you. Let's meet at the Maxine Hotel for

You say, I'm a pretty good -looking guy, Jennifer says.

How big are you?

Now you're asking the right question, you say.

Well, what's the answer?

Okay, Brad.

No, no, no.

Seven.

You're lacking, aren't you?

Look, when you talk to her, just tell her I'm going to talk to her, okay?

Thank you, Marcy.

No, no, no, wait a second.

These dates right here.

around about the same time as Alex got pregnant.

So I'm pretty good at math, buddy.

I mean, she's pregnant, and is that why you're here? Because you think that that

baby's yours?

Because if you do, I want DNA results.

Just tell her I want to talk to her when you see her, okay? Okay.

Why don't you call her?

You know what? Yeah, I'll do that.

All right?

Okay.

I appreciate it. Get home safe.

Yeah, I will.

I live across the street.

Okay.

Enough with that.

Can you believe that? Yeah, I'm starting to believe everything about her right

now.

Damn. I mean, she does kind of look like him.

You think?

Yeah.

I do.

She's unbelievable.

Oh, what?

I'm sorry.

Listen, I'm going to go upstairs and help the kids finish their homework.

Okay.

Are you going to start?

Down here?

No, upstairs.

No, the kids are up there.

But Alex is gone.

Brad.

Marcy, come on. No, I'm not going in her room. I'm not.

We can do it.

Now, I'll tell you what we can do.

What? After the kids go to sleep.

Yeah? Yeah, we can go up to the window.

You know, the one that looks over to the other house?

Mm -hmm.

Maybe.

We'll have sex.

Do it like wild animals, hoping he's going to see.

Oh, he'll see. I like that plan.

What? You look beautiful.

Oh. No, no, no, you do.

I just got out of jail.

I know that.

But you look beautiful.

Yeah, well, you just got out of jail, too.

Yeah, well, still the truth.

I just wanted to clean up and make sure I look presentable for justice.

So you about to go get him?

Yeah.

Yeah, um, you gonna go on that walk?

Yeah. Kelly.

What? You really do look beautiful.

Look, Terrell, listen.

I'm letting you stay here.

That's it.

Really? That's it? Yeah, that's it.

What, you thought we were just going to pick up where we left off?

Nah. That's not what I was thinking. And what were you thinking?

I'm thinking I need to get a J -O -B.

Get on my feet.

Then I'll get out of here.

That's a good plan.

Yeah, okay.

Yeah, let's work on that plan.

Okay. Mm -hmm. In the meantime, why don't you go on and go ahead for that

All right.

What the hell?

Terrell, who the hell is she?

I don't know.

I swear, Terrell, if this is another one of your hoes, I promise I... No, I

don't know her.

Then why the hell is she in my house? Excuse me, miss.

Don't talk to me.

This is not your house. Don't touch me. Okay, who are you?

Who are you?

I'm Kelly, and this is my house.

I'm Tanya, and I don't like it.

Then you can leave.

Color's angry.

Okay, honey, you're going to need to leave my house.

But it's pretty here.

Oh, she's off.

Um, sweetie, what's your name?

Tonya.

Okay, Tonya, do you live around here?

Across the valley.

The valley?

Yes, in the Blue Canyon.

Oh, yeah, I did see her in a blue house across the street.

Um, I don't like it here.

Okay, well, you can't stay here, so can I walk you back home?

You're so rude.

I'm rude.

Damn it, I've been looking all over for you.

Look higher.

What happened?

Nothing happened. Just retired from that.

Come on.

I don't want to go inside. I don't.

Okay, let's sit here.

Oh, damn it. Tanya.

Shut up.

Shut up.

Shut up.

Shut up. Shut up. I'm not talking. Shut up. Shut your mouth. Shut up. Shut up.

Come on in the house.

Come on.

Where were you?

What kind of bed are you on?

What planet are you? Caught in the house. No!

Come on, let's go.

Hey. Hey.

Is she doing better?

No, she's been locked in her womb all day.

Oh, I'm sorry.

It's fine.

Did you talk to Eddie?

No. No, not since I said what I had to say.

He's been really, really quiet.

Hmm.

Which is really strange.

Is it?

Steven. What?

What did you say to him?

I didn't say a word to him.

Okay, don't, because I don't need you making things worse, okay?

I won't. All right.

Yeah, that wouldn't be good.

No, it wouldn't.

Are you okay?

Yeah. Yeah, I'm fine. Why? With the way that she spoke to you and everything?

Come on. You should hear what the kids say to me on the street. That was

nothing.

Yeah, but you're not dating their moms.

It didn't bother me.

Are you sure?

I'm fine.

You are so sweet.

Go take care of your daughter, and I'll talk to you later, okay?

Okay. Okay.

What was that?

What?

What was that pause?

There was no pause. What are you talking about?

Were you going to say that you love me?

Get off my phone.

You were going to say that you love me.

Get off my phone.

I think you were.

Bye. Okay.

Bye.

Okay, Mika.

Mika, honey, come on.

Come on, Mika.

Mika.

Mika.

Mika.

I'm loving you is wrong.

I just want to tell you, I am not sleeping with you. Dad, I was here with

chick, Kelly. You met a married woman at a hotel.

Brad. No, I went in here with this big -time lawyer.

Hey, hold on. Hey, you hold on. No, you hold on. What did you do, Randall? I

didn't do anything.

Are you sleeping with his wife? I just want things to go back to the way they

used to be.

We were in love.
