Previously on, if loving you is wrong. You are not his father, so you can't go.

And I talk to my mama like that! Well, what you gonna do? You think this is

easy? Hell no, it's not.

I have put my wife through hell because all I want to do is be with you.

Oh, so you do have a conscience.

Go to hell.

She's looking good.

The boat, not mine. The boat. Oh, yeah, yeah.

Where's my daughter at?

She's at a flea boulder at Natalie's. In the ghetto?

Listen to me. I need you to take your ass home.

And take care of our little girl. Honey, who's that?

Oh, that was just Marcy.

We should try right now because my mommy's leaving.

You almost got busted.

Sorry?

Pretending like you're talking to me.

I know who you're talking to.

Who?

Do you know who that is?

He just has it in his phone as Peppa.

Well, what kind of name is Peppa? I mean, is that a name?

It's a nickname.

Marcy, I'm so sorry.

Me too, honey. I'm so sorry.

I feel like such a fool.

No,

no, you can't feel this way because it's not your fault, okay?

It's okay.

Girl, we've all been there at some point, you know?

Everybody except Alex here.

What am I going to do?

What do I do?

Hey, relax. Have you talked to him about it yet? No, no.

All right, this is what you do, darling, okay? Listen to me. All right, you go

over there, and you take a bottle, okay? And you bust him upside down. Natalie.

What? Stop it.

What? This makes me so mad.

And then they try to make us think that we're crazy when we know something's

going on. That's exactly what he did. I know he did, girl.

Hey, relax.

Marcy, are you going to confront him?

Yeah. When?

I don't know. I don't know. I just needed a second.

I didn't know what to do. Oh, my God, you guys, I'm so embarrassed. I'm so

sorry. I'm so sorry.

I'm so sorry. I'm interrupting your meeting with my drama. No, it's fine. We

to go anyway. No, I'm sorry. I got to go. I'm sorry.

You know what? Here, Marcy, just call me, girl, if you want to talk. Thank

This is crazy.

This is crazy.

I feel so bad for her.

All right, come on. We got to go, girl. Let's go. All right, guys. I'll see you

later. Okay.

Bye.

I should be, uh... I should be going too. No, no, no. No, we don't need to go

anywhere.

You.

Excuse me?

You.

What are you talking about? Don't lie to me, Alec.

I don't know what you're talking about. You are sleeping with him.

With Randall? Don't lie to me, Alec. I am not.

Let me see your phone.

Why?

To prove to me that you are telling the truth.

Kelly, you are my friend, and you should trust me. No.

No, I heard that man call you Peppa when you all were helping me move and...

Let me see it.

Go ahead.

Go ahead.

Yeah. Yeah. Keep lying to me.

Keep lying so much that our friendship has no hope.

Let me see your phone. Now.

Right now.

Is he Mrs. Baxter?

Oh, my God.

Alex! I'm sorry.

How the hell did you let this happen? I don't know. No, no, no. No. You know.

You know. He did not just fall on you. I know. I know.

How?

How, Alex?

I don't know.

How it happened.

It was so subtle and easy.

He seduced me. No, don't you dare. Don't you dare act like you are the victim in

this situation and blame it all on him.

No, you wanted to have sex with him and you did.

Don't do that.

You're right.

I'm going to be able to look her in the face.

Please don't.

Don't say no. You already know. I don't want to be in the middle of any of this.

In fact, I wish I didn't already know.

I wish it never happened.

How did it happen, Alex?

It started with... He hugged me.

It lasted a little too long, and... His hand ran down the back of

my... He crazed my butt, and I...

He's

home.

All day.

And so am I.

Brad and Marcy were both at work and the kids were at school.

And... He asked me to come by and look at a design for a project he was working

on. I went.

God, I just... No, I should have said no, but...

Oh, God. The next thing I knew, he... He kissed me.

Oh, God.

Before I knew it, we were having sex, and I should have stopped it. I know,

but... How long ago?

About five months.

Stop it. I've tried to. No, you haven't. Yes, I have. Then why is it still going

on? Because I don't...

You

love him?

God, I don't want to.

Oh, God.

Oh, God, no. You need to end this. And end it now.

I don't know how. I need your help.

Oh, no, no, no. No. What?

I helped to do what? To end it. What? No, no, no. No, I will not help you. No?

No. You started it, and you are going to end it.

How? Are you kidding me?

That is a married man that you slept with.

End it.

There is no choice.

His baby?

No.

No. How do you know?

Are you sure?

Yes.

How do you know? The dates, they don't add up. What does that mean?

They don't. I have poured over every text message and email, and when Brad

out of town, I've looked at my calendars, I've gone back and forth, and

not. The dates don't add up. It's not possible. It's not his baby. It's not.

Not that you have an unprotected sex with him.

Oh, God.

Alex. Kelly, please, don't judge me right now. I am not judging you. I'm

I just don't understand.

I know.

God,

what do I do?

What do I do? I don't know.

I cannot advise you in this situation, Alex.

You don't have any idea what it feels like to be cheated on.

To have a man come and break your heart and cheat on you with somebody else.

And all you want to hear is the truth.

Nothing even makes sense until you hear the truth.

This is wrong of him.

And I know how she feels.

Alex, look, you are my friend.

But I'm on her side.

So you're going to tell her.

No. No. You are.

And Brad.

Tell me.

Honey, this is your bed.

You made it Then

when all of this falls apart you are

going to regret it

Well

that really pisses me

off Yeah, me too.

See?

I know, right?

Girl, she's having a date. I had one last night.

What happened?

Well, I didn't want to tell you this, but a job was robbed.

What? They got all the money, and now they're making me pay it all back.

The hell am I going to get $3 ,800 from?

I'm sorry.

Sorry, it's fine.

Lucius said he would help me out.

Well, it seems like he's really enjoying working with Eddie, which... Ellen, you

know I don't trust Eddie.

Well, that makes two of us.

You know what he did?

What? He found out I was working those extra shifts, so he goes crazy on me at

work.

I told you. He wants to control you.

We can't do that anymore. I'm so... He has been.

And then he tells me that Yolanda left him.

And wants to blame me for it. She did?

Yeah. That's crazy.

She thinks he's still in love with me, which... I make two of you. I am not in

love with him for the last time. I'm not.

It's okay if you love him.

You know?

I get it. You know, he was your first.

He broke your heart.

You know, you thought he would marry you.

You're hurt by it. You know, it's okay to admit that. I mean, that's why you're

so pissed with this whole Marcy Randall situation.

Natalie, he is not the man that I fell in love with.

He wasn't this arrogant person that you guys see.

I don't know, he's on this power trip, and then they give him a badge, and he

thinks he's God.

What is that?

Yeah, we over there, man.

My guys and I came up on these Iraqi kids one day.

As soon as I saw those little bastards, I said, stand back, you know, don't

trust them.

Sarge went over and ruled me.

I'll never forget it. He said, they're just kids.

Well, those kids pulled out AKs. They sprayed my whole unit.

Put off two of ours out there that day.

It was crazy.

Dispatch, Unit 1016 responding.

Copy that.

Rook. We got to move.

All right, fellas.

So, how long were you in the war?

Long enough.

I was there for five years.

Good for you.

You know, it was a crazy story you told earlier.

I got a lot of love.

Yeah, me too.

Okay, Lou.

Do you want to hear one?

Did I say I want to hear one?

Yeah, yeah, I guess you're right. You know, you heard one, you heard them all.

It doesn't really change the outcome, does it?

No.

That it does not.

You don't want to know how I know that?

Because I was there.

No, you should talk to somebody about that.

About what?

What you saw.

Did you see me talking to those officers back there?

No, I mean, we should talk to somebody other than officers.

Who do you want me to talk to, Lou, huh?

What do you got on your mind?

Somebody like a professional.

A professional.

Professional what?

You know, sometimes it helps to talk to a shrink.

Oh, man, what do you want, Randall's boys?

Huh?

You know, I had a friend.

Came back. He was having a hard time.

He went to see a shrink.

It helped him.

Oh, yeah? Who was this friend of yours?

A friend of mine.

Sure you're not talking about yourself?

Nope.

Need a little shoulder to cry on, Lou?

Tell me about your times in Iraq, how hard it was over there. If it makes you

feel better, there's a buddy of mine named Jonathan.

He was in my unit. Well, good for you and good for Jonathan.

I don't need to talk to anybody about a damn thing.

Fair enough.

Okay. I'll make this really really simple for you, okay?

You don't know a damn thing about me.

No.

But Esperanza does.

What? I mean, she's always telling Natalie how you're a so -called good

But you're different.

I don't know what the hell you're talking about, but Keeper ain't much of

I'm just wondering where this so -called good guy is.

Maybe he's still in the war.

Yeah, maybe he is.

Why don't you go on with all that?

Nobody gets it. I mean, they say they do, but nobody really gets it.

You know, everybody expects you to be normal.

Everything's just going on like usual. You know, you're going to be just like

you used to be, but... You know.

You know...

There's nothing wrong in getting some help.

So touching today, Lou.

Trying to be my damn mama, huh?

Is that what you think?

Yeah, that's what I think.

Let me tell you something, man. This is my life. All right, I got this.

As long as you focus on your own problems.

Okay, I don't need you running around here telling me everything is wrong with

me. Focus on you.

Yep.

That's what I'm trying to do.

What's that supposed to mean?

Talking about me?

You're damn right I'm talking about you. Oh, you think I'm a problem?

You're becoming a big problem of mine, Edward.

Let me tell you something, partner.

You have no idea.

None.

Shut up.

Shut up.

Hey I Know I've been awful lately.

Well, I brought you your favorite flowers.

I Love making love to you More than my wife

You doing

Can I see you tonight?

She'll be asleep soon.

Wait, wait, wait.

You make me feel like she never could.

You're sweeter.

What?

This is my favorite.

This chick is driving me.

I wish that she would leave so we can be

together.

You've been going to my things.

I think you're going to get your wish.

I can't believe you've been invading my privacy.

Well, honey, you've been invading some whore.

You're having an affair.

I can't believe you would go through my thing.

Tell me who it is.

What does that matter?

What does it matter?

This whole time, you have been so...

evil and twisted about this thing.

I thought it was me.

And this whole time, you're with some whore.

Who the hell is Peppa?

I can't believe you're talking about me.

Paul, I'm going to go through your things.

I'm going to go through your pain to kill you. I'm going to go through your

until I find out who Peppa is.

Since when did you start going through my emails? Since when did you start with

this whore? You are not going to turn this around on me. I'm not turning this

around on you. You don't go through my emails. Tell me who it is.

Gotta head back to work, but I want to stop by and see you.

Where's your mama?

I think she's getting ready.

Hey, hey, um, can you help me with this?

Uh, yeah.

Why don't you go take that in the room for a second? Let me talk to your

brother. All right.

So, you talk to her yet?

Not much.

She will.

No, she won't.

Give her time.

Yeah, I hear you.

Look, I think I might take your brother and sisters to the park a little later.

Think you might want to come with us?

Nah, man, I got something to do.

Like what?

I'm good, man.

Look, I'm just trying to help out here.

Look, Lucien, I know you're just trying to help out and everything.

I'm sorry.

It's all good.

Hey.

Why didn't you speak to him?

I did.

No, you didn't.

Look, Lucian, I don't really want to... No, it's okay.

It's okay. I'm still really mad at him, you know?

Yeah, I know.

But, baby, I believe him.

Well, I don't.

Why? Because I know him. He's just like his daddy, just can't seem to do the

right damn thing.

Don't do that.

Don't do what?

Don't put that on him.

Can I get some water?

Here. Thank you.

His daddy's in jail.

You know, he wanted it quick.

And now he's locked up for the rest of his life.

Now I'm left trying to raise him by myself.

Don't do that.

Don't do what?

Why do you always act like I'm not here helping you?

At least you get in my damn mood when you start this.

I told you to stop talking crazy.

You know what? We ain't got to talk at all then.

It's okay. You always just don't like being wrong.

Sure, I guess you're right.

No, you don't. You don't like being wrong, but it's okay. It's okay.

I love you.

And I know you love me.

Here it comes, son.

Better watch how you keep talking to me.

Cuff your ass.

So what do we got?

Told you, boy. You can't even see me. Told you, young boy. You don't want to

mess with this.

Yo, man. Yo, what you doing?

What's up?

What's up, boy?

Tell me.

You look a little hot, Jay. You cool?

Nah, man. Somebody broke into my mother's place.

The burger joint?

Yeah, the burger joint.

Man, don't do that.

Do what? You did it.

What? Man, I know you did it.

Yo, I ain't do nothing.

You sure?

Yo, I think you heard me. I said I ain't do nothing. Either you did it or you

know who did it.

I know you know these streets.

Yo, you might want to watch your tone right now, young boy, because you're

getting a little out of pocket.

Listen, man, you want me in the streets so bad you got to break into my mother's

place? Huh? So I don't have a job anymore?

$3 ,800 my mom got to pay back?

Then give me the money.

Dude. Give me the money. Dude, you need to step off.

This is cartel, fellas.

All right?

And let's not drag this thing out. I want to put him to bed. Put him to bed

quick. I guarantee all these guys. I vouch for everybody.

I want you to call me as soon as it's done.

Done. Okay.

Thank you.

All right. How much you going to run me?

Talk to me.

Let's talk about that a little later.

All right. That's right.

All right.

Good stuff, man. Bam. All right.

Eddie.

Hey, man. You early?

Yeah. Hey, man.

Hey,

y 'all know what the... I got you. I'll wrap you in a little bit, all right? Let

me give a breath.

Why are you talking to these guys, then?

Hey, man, what are you doing here for work?

I went past your place to drop off the grill, and I noticed bullet holes

everywhere.

You want to tell me what that's about?

No, man, it's fine. I got it.

I want to know what's going on.

B, I don't know what's going on.

None of this looks or sounds good, Ed. I want to know what's going on, and I

want the truth.

All right.

Man, that kid shot up my house.

Go down the left.

What kid? That little punk that's Raza been running with.

The one you shot in the leg? I shot that little son of a bitch to scare him.

Come to find out he's cartel connected.

Yeah. So that's why you're hanging out with these guys?

I'm just trying to build my army around me, Brad.

Wait, wait. You're trying to do what?

Look, man, his dad came down and told me just to let this pass and to let it go,

but... I can't let this one go.

So this kid's dad warns you to stay away, but yet you don't listen to him.

Nobody comes and shoots up my house!

I don't like what I'm hearing.

Just go.

I got this one. I got a plan in place.

Keep you and your family safe, all right?

Sounds to me like you're digging your own grave and you're just waiting for

to push you in it.

Come on.

Let's get ready for these kids.

We're not done talking about this, eh?

Yeah, we are, Brad.

Come on.

What are you doing here?

I'm still not returning my phone calls. No.

So I'm here to see how you are. I'm fine.

Now you can leave.

Paul, here.

Here, here.

You brought me flowers?

Yeah.

What do you want?

I was talking to Cliff.

And we were talking about justice.

And I think that...

I think that we should tell him I'm not his father.

Okay.

Wait, just like that? Yeah, yeah, yeah.

No argument? No.

I mean, what's the point of arguing anyway, really?

Right? Because, I mean, you're not going to really listen to what I have to say.

I just want to hear your thoughts.

Okay.

Okay, well, hmm.

Maybe you could tell him like you told me.

Or, you know, better yet, maybe you could just wait till the last minute and

then tell him.

I said I was sorry.

Yeah, that's clear.

You really want me to leave you alone?

Ooh, ding, ding, ding, yeah, you got it.

Congratulations, that's the right answer.

Kelly, you're a consultant.

Oh, my God, well, I can't shoot you legally.

I'm just trying to make this better.

Yeah, you mentioned that. I love you. Yeah, yeah, yeah, you mentioned that,

You have said that a million times.

I'm kind of tired of hearing of it.

Okay.

If you really don't want me around anymore, then I'll go.

I won't come back again.

Thank you.

But be sure that's what you want.

Oh, oh, oh. I am 150 % sure that that is what I want.

to see you again, okay?

Goodbye.

What's that, a tear?

You just don't get it.

You don't understand how much I love you.

How much this hurts.

And how bad I feel about it.

You don't understand any of that.

And you're not taking any of those thoughts into consideration.

Like you took my thoughts into consideration.

I did. Oh, really? Did you?

Did you really? No, please, please.

Let's think about it. Was it when you were kissing her?

Or was it when you were asking her to marry you?

No, please, Travis, tell me.

I know.

I know you want me to hurt. It's just not right, Kelly. Well, one good hurt

deserves another.

I guess that's the difference.

Because I never meant to hurt you.

I'm so sorry.

Not your fault.

Yes, it is. I told you to hire him.

It'll be fine.

I don't care what y 'all say.

I know Joey didn't do this.

See, I don't think so either.

Well, whoever did it, damage is done now, so we need to get the money.

Joey? Here, take it.

What is it?

It's $3 ,800.

So you took it? No, I got it from Quan.

Kwan? Yeah.

Rita Dawson took the money.

Joey.

He kept up in here? Listen, I made him give it up.

Joey.

It's a violation of your probation.

You took money from a drug dealer?

No, I didn't. Give it back.

No. And nobody knows who did this. And I don't care if I violated it. Nobody's

going to come in here and take advantage of us and get away with it. Give it

back. Mama.

Give it back, Joey. I don't want it.

I know he knows who did this. That boy will retaliate, Joey.

I can't.

Please, Mom can't afford to lose his job, and he can't afford to pay this

Please just take the money.

Joey. Fawn, please.

No. Listen, we are going to give this money back.

Mama, I know he knows who did this.

Lord.

What?

It's all back. There's a lot I want to hear about it. Where are you going?

Home. No, you're not. You're going to stay here. And I'm going to call Lucien

and have her come pick you up.

No, I'm fine. Zoe!

Zoe!

I hate to bring it up, but I saw Travis earlier.

He said he wants me to stop hurting him.

Can you believe that?

Yeah.

You can?

Yeah, it's like Randall.

He looked so wounded when I confronted him about the affair.

He ran into the bathroom and locked the door for hours.

What did he say?

Nothing.

Other than he was pissed I was going through his emails.

God, I wish I knew who Pepper was.

Yeah.

How do I do that? How do I find out? You work at the bank. Can I do a background

check? Go through his bank account? See who he's spending money on? I don't

know.

Well, was there any account information?

No, no. I couldn't get her contact.

It's a nickname for something. I'm positive. What kind of ghetto ass names

kids? Peppa.

Nobody.

Yeah, I don't know.

What's wrong?

Nothing.

Kelly.

Marcy, maybe Peppa is an acronym for something.

Yeah, I thought about that, but what?

I don't know, but maybe you should look a little more closely.

What do you mean?

Look closely.

Elliot.

I'm sorry. I'm so sorry. This thing with Travis. No, no, no, no. You were saying

something else.

Marcie, I just want you to know that the way you befriended me has meant a lot

to me.

It really has. I appreciate it.

What do you think?

Look more closely, Marcie.

Do you know something?

Look closely. You have to tell me.

Look, Marcy, I know. Tell me. I know, I know. I know firsthand that

when the person you love chooses somebody else, it's heartbreaking.

You have to tell me. I know. I know. It makes you crazy, but I can't.

Look, you know how unfair it is not to know.

Travis did that to you and now you're doing it to me. It is not fair.

Tell me.

Marcy.

Look, let's go home.

Go home and have your husband tell you. He won't.

Then look closely, Marcy.

Look at me.

Look at me.

A man will only start to come in when he sees what is close.

I want you to leave here, and I want you to look

closely.

Pay very close attention to everything you see.

Please.

You son of a bitch! Rattle!

All this time I've had a baby!

You screwing house!

You son of a bitch!

You son of a bitch! Calm down!

Calm down!

Where's the bitch?

Hold still. Hold still.
