Previously on If Loving You Is Wrong. I'm going to the cafeteria. I'll be

back. Could you lie in the bed and cover up in case somebody comes in? I'll be

right back. May I flip this on you?

No! Okay, okay.

She has a mental illness.

If she doesn't take her meds, she starts having these delusions. But I promise

you guys have nothing to worry about. You're divorced. It's done.

You don't have to worry. I promise.

Oh, I have a friend who's going to give you a call. She needs some legal advice.

Her name's Esperanza. Let's go in the pages.

I need somebody to help me understand this. I need a lawyer, somebody to look

this. I'm not going to be able to witness this for you if you don't let

with somebody.

Me again?

Damn,

Kelly.

Lucia?

Hey.

What are you doing here?

I'm guarding Kelly.

You are?

Mm -hmm.

Well, that's what I heard.

I just spoke with the doctor, and, um, turns out there's nothing wrong with

Oh, okay.

That's good.

Yeah, so we're just gonna escort her back to jail now.

Okay. You know,

what if I just have a word with you?

Like I told you.

There's nothing you need to say to me.

About this Travis. Did you watch the news?

No. So you didn't see the press conference I just held and the mountain

evidence we have against her?

Yeah.

And you still refuse to listen to reason? That's for a jury of 12 to do.

I think if you just took the time... Lucien, just get out of my way, please.

Before I have these nice officers move you.

Sure.

What's wrong with you?

Nothing. You really need to let this go.

That girl?

It's going down.

Okay.

What is it?

Nothing.

Lucian. What? You said let it go. I'm letting it go.

Okay. You can leave now.

Wait, wait, wait.

Not so fast.

We got a problem.

What's that?

They don't have the right key for the cuffs.

Is that right?

Yeah. So we need you to come back in and uncover.

Now? Now.

Hey, I tell you, you know, I thought...

You... Oh, um... Nothing.

Why is it taking me back, Ocean?

Yes, we are.

No, no, I can't go back.

Just for now. No, please.

Can I talk to Justin?

I'll see what I can do. Just, just, please, maybe I can call him tonight

I... You know what, I'll make sure that somebody's waiting by the phone. Okay, I

think it's going to do me some good to talk to Justin.

I think so, too.

Is it taking you this long to uncover?

I want you to stay strong. Be good.

Just take it easy.

Working on this.

I'll see you soon.

You know, if I didn't know any better, I would think that there was something

improper going on. You know, if I didn't know any better, I would think that you

don't give a damn about justice.

Oh, I'm all about justice.

Justice for Travis King.

That's right, I forgot. His father had so many members in his church, and if

correct, you are up for re -election.

She murdered the man.

Then you won't even look at him.

He was the victim.

No, no, she's the victim. He's a liar.

He did all of this.

I don't even know why I'm talking to you.

Because you know I'm talking the truth.

What I know is the truth is that she shot him.

And what I know is she killed Ramsey.

You know what's the truth?

Truth is you want to be reelected.

But you're so busy being on your ivory throne that you won't even take the time

to see how wrong this is.

Goodbye, Lucia. Yeah, that's right. Yeah.

Because if you took the time.

Then you would see that we have all this evidence that he was stalking her.

No, I wouldn't. No, because all you care about is the win.

You can care less if you put a good woman behind bars in jail for life. See,

not putting her away for life.

I want the death penalty.

Thank you, Cindy.

Hi.

Hello. Hi, I'm Esperanza.

Right, right. Please, come on in. Have a seat.

Thank you.

Can I get you something to drink?

No, no.

I'm good. Thank you so much.

Great. Well, so tell me, how can I help you today?

How do I say this? I just, I want to find a legal way to make my ex kind of

leave me alone.

Yeah. Don't we all. Why don't you tell me more?

He's... He's been harassing me at work since forever. He threatens every person

I try to date to the point where they're scared to be around me. He's obnoxious.

He's rude. He's making my life a living hell. Do I need to go any further?

Okay, we can get a restraining order against him if you like.

Yeah, the thing is we work in the same building, so... Okay.

Well, we can get him fired for sexual harassment, if you like.

Well, we have a daughter together, so then...

It could still be done.

Look, I don't want to go that route. I want to try and just find another way

him to leave me alone.

Okay, well, what route would you like to take?

There are things, certain things I know.

Such as?

Dates, times of just dirty deeds he's done.

Okay, so why don't you...

Tell me a little bit more about these dirty deeds. No, I just, like, I don't

want to do that. What I want is just for you to help me find a legal way for him

to leave me alone without doing that.

Okay, well, how do you propose we do that if you won't tell me anything?

Can you hire someone to kill him?

I can not do that.

And I wouldn't advise it either.

I'm kidding.

You don't look like you're kidding.

Well, I am.

Right.

And so was I.

Look, I just... I want to threaten him in a

way that he'll leave me alone. I don't want to go in another direction.

Okay. Well...

Like you said, dirt is good.

I don't want to use the dirt that I have. I don't want to ruin his life.

You know, some people's lives should be ruined, especially if they're trying to

ruin yours.

Just tell me what to do.

What can I do?

You don't want to get a restraining order, right? You don't want to file

harassment charges.

You don't want to kill him, right?

To be honest with you, I don't know how I can help you.

I, uh... I want to threaten to take sole custody of my daughter.

Okay. And threaten him if he doesn't leave me alone.

Okay, right. I think I can help you out with that.

If what he does is as bad as you say it is, a judge would be more than happy to

honor that.

So, I can get sole custody because I think that that'll make him...

That'll make him calm down.

Yeah, I believe we can get so custody.

All right, so let me speak to him first. Let me tell him that I have all of

this. And then if this isn't good, then I'll have to move forward to the next

step. And I'd be more than happy to help you with that.

Thank you.

How much is all this going to cost me?

Listen, off the record...

To get even with him, I would pay you.

Oh, you've had a bad experience with him too, huh?

Yeah, you could say that.

But I loved it, you know? It was like a rocket fuel for me.

Good. I like that. Thank you. Yeah, great.

We'll be in touch?

Yeah. Okay. You have a great day. Thank you, Larry. All right. Bye.

Do you

really

think this is smart, Randall?

Yeah, yeah. Actually, I mean, I'm loving it.

Okay, you know what?

I'm way past done dealing with you.

Well, there's something about it, girl.

Oh, you don't think I will?

What the hell are you going to do except go run and tell Brad?

Maybe I'll send him over there and kick your ass again.

Ugh, yawn.

So, uh, you and Larry tried to play a little trick on me, huh?

You know I gotta get even, right?

You do that.

God, I would be better if I could get Randall to stop calling me.

You're such an immature little prick.

Yeah.

Did she sign the papers?

No.

No, she didn't. Not yet.

Why not?

Because she said she wanted a lawyer to look over it.

Oh, well, you know, maybe it's for the best, I guess.

What do you mean?

Well, if you both have counsel, then she can't find a way to contest it, I

guess. That's what I'm afraid of with Randall, so... The hell, he's contesting

it? Yeah, probably.

I guess there's nothing you can do about that.

Nope.

Except find a drug addict to kill him.

Marcy.

Don't say things like that.

Why not?

Because then you'll end up in Kelly's shoes.

Yeah, yeah, I know.

You should just try and let it go.

Yeah, I'm trying. He's not.

I know.

I wish I could just move away to another town.

Yeah, that would be nice, wouldn't it?

When my kids are here.

Yeah, I know.

I just wouldn't want to leave him. You know, even though it's over between me

and Alex.

I know, I know you don't, babe.

So, uh, what time will you be done?

I'll be home at seven for dinner.

Okay.

Fancy going out to dinner tonight?

I'd like that, yeah.

I'll see you when you get home.

Okay.

You slept a long time.

Yeah.

How do you feel?

I feel better.

That's good.

How bad was it?

Not bad.

Don't lie to me.

How much do you remember?

I remember being cold and the neighbor, the psychologist,

Yeah. And then I started screaming. I don't know. What did

he say to you?

He came to the house, and I don't know. It was weird.

How so?

I just don't want to talk to him again.

Okay. Ever. Okay.

So now is everybody going to be looking at me like I'm insane?

No.

Come here.

These people seem like nice people.

So do the people in our last building.

That was different.

I don't like being stared at.

I'm here, okay?

You have to go to work.

Yeah, but... And I don't like being alone in a new place.

Okay, well, how about we get to know the new neighbors?

I don't want to talk to him.

No, no, no. I mean, Alex would cross the street.

She seems nice.

And... And Natalie, down the road?

You seem like really nice people.

Not today.

Okay. Well, what are you going to do when I go to work, then?

I think I want to finish that book.

Yeah.

That's a good idea.

Okay. Okay. And I'll make you lunch.

Okay.

Perfect.

I'm sorry.

Tanya.

Okay. Why do you stay with me?

Look at me.

Because I love you.

I can't give you anything.

You give me all that I need.

Is that why you stopped taking your meds?

I can't have a baby if I'm not on it.

We don't need a baby.

But I want one. I do. Okay, I know you do, but you can't stop taking your meds.

I know.

I know.

Okay.

But I was fine until he started talking to me. I was fine. I hadn't taken him

for days. I know you thought you were fine.

I was.

Look, just don't do it again, okay?

Let's just get settled in here, and then we can talk about adoption or maybe

finding a surrogate. We can't afford that.

We can work towards it, okay?

I don't want to talk anymore about this.

You are all the family that I need.

I love you.

I really love you, okay?

Love you too.

Okay, you're going to be okay.

Hello. Hey, I was just calling to check on you. Yeah, thanks. I've been having a

really hard time since losing the baby.

No, Marcy, I'm so sorry.

No, it's okay.

No, really.

Really, I am.

Well, you know, I've been through this before.

At least I'm divorced this time.

Hey, congratulations, girl.

Thank you.

I was going to call and see how Kelly was doing.

Well, you see, she's better.

Good. Good.

No man is worth taking your own life.

No, you can say that again, especially some sorry -ass loser.

Yeah, for sure.

You should feel real good. You got a good one now.

Yeah, I do.

And I'll kill a bitch to protect him, too.

That's what you should do.

Now, Marcy, I really am sorry.

Thank you.

Hey, look, did the police talk to you?

About? Well, you know, what you did.

No.

Really? I wonder why.

Um, no proof, I guess.

And if they do, I'll just, I'll send them right over to Larry and he can

that.

Oh, but Natalie, a beautiful man just walked through my door.

With flowers.

So I'm going to have to call you back.

Oh, a beautiful man.

Uh -huh.

Brad. Oh, okay. I know I got to go now.

All right. Talk to you later.

All right. Yeah, I got to go to the store anyway. Talk to you later.

Bye.

Hi.

Hi.

Uh, what's up?

I thought I'd bring you these.

Why?

Because you deserve them.

Oh, thank you.

How much work do you have left to do?

A few more calls.

Can you make them from the car?

Yeah, sure.

I feel like I could take you for a night.

Where are we going?

To Surprise.

Like a date?

Yeah, our first official date.

A girl could get used to this.

I want you to.

Let me get my purse. I'm ready.

What? What the hell are you doing?

I'm minding my own damn business. How about you?

You looking into that woman's house.

Tell her to my face.

Randall, I'm going to tell that woman's husband what you're doing.

And I'm going to tell him that you get her with Elle.

You remember I cut your ass before.

Oh, I remember.

I'll never forget.

Happened.

That woman is alone, and you know she's not well.

You're not well.

No, no, no. You're the one that's crazy as hell.

You're damn right.

Welcome to my world, baby.

I wish your ass would have burned up in that damn fire.

Oh, you know who did?

Oh, yeah.

Oh, I know.

Who? It was me.

Okay.

No, that's a little too smart for you.

I don't take nothing but cheese to catch a rat.

Well, a hood rat like yourself wouldn't know that.

You better leave that woman alone. That's all I know.

Get the hell out of here. Don't get back in the house.

It's free country. Get in the house.

Okay.

I'm going to tell that woman's husband what you're doing, too. Go on, tell her.

I will. Tell her.

Bye -bye.

Bye.

You're not very flattering to me, baby.

Ed, I need to talk to you.

You already said that.

Okay, when can we talk?

See that thing that you're doing with your mouth right now?

It's called talking.

Not here.

Why not here?

Because I want us to talk in a place that's more civil where it's just you

I.

The bedroom's always worked out for us.

Yeah, so did me shooting over your head.

And you kicked me.

Yeah, you did.

Loved it.

So the bedroom's out of the question.

And I won't lay with you in that kitchen anymore after Surfer Boy and you.

Look, Ed, I'm sorry. I don't want to argue with you. No arguing, talking,

damn thing. Can you focus?

Can you just please focus?

Well, if I can't, yes, well.

Can you meet me for lunch?

You trying to poison me?

No.

What are you trying to do? Set me up so he knows where I'm at?

You're scared of him?

Have you ever, ever known Eddie to be scared? I ain't scared of nobody.

Well, I may have something that may scare you.

I've seen every inch of you.

Ain't nothing scary unless you're in between wackos. Go ahead.

Just keep disrespecting me. I'm used to it.

I intend to.

I get a break in two hours. I'm going to text you the name of the restaurant

where you can meet me.

Just be there.

Okay, ma 'am. I'll do that.

Can't wait to hear this. It'll be so good. Yeah.

You're going to want to hear it.

Mr. Holmes, how are you?

I'm good, I'm good.

Good. How's your wife?

She's good.

Good. But you said you talked to her.

Yeah, yeah, I did.

What did you talk to her about?

I just welcomed her to the neighborhood.

Is that it?

Yeah.

Yeah, what she said.

Okay.

Well, you know she's got a mental illness, yeah?

Yeah, yeah, I picked up on that.

You know what I'm saying?

Yeah.

Yeah, it is.

But, here's the thing. You know we're near the neighborhood, right?

Yeah. Yeah.

Do you mind doing me a favor and not talking to her?

It's a little rude, don't you think?

Yeah.

But it's necessary.

Oh, okay. Sure.

Thank you. Sure.

Okay. I won't say anything to her.

Thank you.

But... But what?

You know she's going to have another break, right?

Well, she just needs to take her meds.

Well, what if she doesn't take them? I mean, you know I was the one who helped

her out the other day, right? Yeah, I understand that.

And look, I appreciate it, but don't talk to her again.

Ah, I see.

You're the jealous kind.

Ha.

No, sir.

I'm the loving kind.

Well, isn't that cute?

Have a nice day.

You too.

Don't talk to me.

When you get crazy, bitch, you get crazy.

Come here.

Thank you.

You look good.

Randall.

Sorry.

What?

This is about the baby.

Yeah, RJ.

His name is Brad.

No, we gotta talk about that.

All right, well, there's a few things that we need to talk about. Yeah, yeah,

there are.

Have you been drinking?

I had just one, you know, just to kind of take the edge off. Okay, well, look,

that's going to have to be a deal breaker.

What are you talking about?

If you're going to come over here, you cannot drink.

Well, who the hell do you think you're talking to?

Please, don't get upset.

We just need to set some ground rules with each other.

That's it.

I'm just asking you to please not drink.

Okay? Okay?

All right.

All right.

Thank you.

So where is he?

He's upstairs.

Okay. What?

In the bedroom?

Okay. Randall?

What? You are here to see him, and that is it.

Okay. Okay.

Okay.

Wait. Wait, wait, wait.

What?

I need to talk to you first.

You're so damn confusing to me.

First, say this is all about the kid.

And then now you say you want to talk to me. Well, this is about the baby.

Okay.

Talk, girl.

What? I think there was a mix -up at the lab, and I want...

To take another DNA test.

Wait, what are you talking about? You said Dr.

Rawson switched the results.

She didn't.

Alex, I heard you.

She didn't do it.

Wait, so then how did it come back as not my kid?

I don't know.

Don't play with me, Alex.

I'm just telling you.

Okay, so what are you trying to tell me?

Why do you want me to get a DNA test?

Wait, wait.

You trying to trick me?

Is that it? No, God, no, not at all.

Were you with someone else?

Oh, my God.

Lucian?

No. Then why do you want me to take another test?

Come on, talk, girl. All right, look.

I was online and I was doing some research and there have been cases that

child can come out and there's like a recessive gene or something and they

like, I don't know, like a great -grandparent or something.

Do you have black great -grandparents?

No. Does Brett?

No, I don't know. Then what the hell are you talking about then?

Huh?

We just need to be sure.

Right?

No.

No, you were with someone else.

Is that what you're telling me?

Randall, I wasn't.

Alex, you told me that I was the only black man you've ever been with.

Now, if that is true, then I shouldn't need to take a test.

Please just forget it, okay?

Never mind. No, no, no, no, no, no, no.

Now, wait.

So there's another man.

Randall, do you want to see the baby or not?

Oh, yeah.

Yeah, I want to see the baby.

Yeah,

I want to get a real good look at him.

So who was it?

Who are you with, huh?

Come on.

Give me the list.

Oh, what was it? The mailman?

It was the mailman, wasn't it? I knew it.

No, you're just being ridiculous, okay?

Please just drop it. All the time.

Shh.

You're here at the house.

Alone and you're going to the pca meetings and all the other meetings and

the kids to the lessons All that time you you were with anybody else. I'm

There are no other men Is that what you're telling me?

Well spit it out girl You're completely paranoid. You realize that?

Okay, look Never mind. All right, just never mind. Forget it. Forget I brought

it up.

Please just Please relax. I don't want to argue with you.

I'm still going to see that doctor I'm still suing her

She didn't do it, Randall.

There's no way that test should have come back. It's not mine.

There's no way.

Then please see your shit bottle right now.

Don't you want to know what happened?

I already know what happened.

I know good and damn well it's not Brad's baby.

I know that.

Yes, we know that. Yes, okay.

Just let me find out.

That's not my baby.

You hear me?

Do you hear me?

I hear you.

Just let me find out.

Do you want to see him or not?

You think I did something to you before?

Wait and see.

Let me find out that's not my baby.

Do you want to see him or not?

Oh, hell yeah.

I want to study him.

I want to see his face. I want to see his eyes.

I want to check his nose, his lips, his feet, his hands, his fingers.

Fine.

Let's go.

Come see your son.

That's the place.

Yeah.

Thanks for joining me.

Listen, I took the liberty of ordering your favorite.

Wait.

What?

You tell me it's your dime or something that's all about.

No. But I wish you would tell me that you ordered. I'm sorry, babe. Can't do

that for you.

Damn it.

Damn it's right.

Got a nice little policy on you. Yeah?

I have one on you, too.

Why, you sent your boyfriend to beat me up?

Okay, just... Listen, first of all, he's not my boyfriend.

Thanks to you.

And as I know it, you started everything.

No, you opening your legs starts everything.

All right, listen, I'm not here to argue about that, okay? I did not come here

for that.

What are we here for?

Ed, listen, we've been doing this for way too long.

I just want to find a way for us to be civil and a way for us to coexist for

daughter. Talking about I am civil.

Are you? Are you serious right now? Yeah, I'm serious. What are you talking

about?

Ed, you're the most uncivilized human being that I know. This isn't the civil

side of Eddie. You know the other side.

No.

Ed, when I met you, you were a completely different person.

Was I really?

You know that you were.

Oh, baby, so I've always been.

No, it's not.

Yeah, it is.

I was played the good guy to get you to fall in love, but once I had you...

God came out of the closet, so to speak. So I've always been, it's me.

So you won't even consider this conversation. You won't consider

even for the sake of our daughter.

Mika knows her daddy very well. Don't you pull her into this.

So what, Ed? You're just going to continue to do drugs and harass me and

threaten everybody that I date? That's what you're going to do with your life?

You're damn right.

You know the saying.

What? I can't have you. No one's going to.

All right. Well.

I've tried.

I give up.

I've tried talking. I've tried leveling with you. I've tried giving you the

benefit of the doubt. I've tried everything, so... What the hell is this?

Divorce papers? These are full custody of my daughter papers.

You better get the hell out of here with this. I want full custody.

I don't want her around you without adult supervision.

Don't give a damn what you want. Here's a list of all the shit that you've done.

Over the years that I know about you.

You're serious?

I just want you to leave me alone.

You know I would never hurt our daughter.

I'm done talking to this judge.

Nothing you say matters.

Nothing. Okay, let's even put you up to this, huh?

Are you crazy? Are you crazy? You think you're wearing your big girl panties

today? I know I'm not playing with you.

Hey, waiter.

Can I get a sign to get this bitch out of my face?

Call me a bitch one more time. You know what? You go on with that.

I put up with a lot of bullshit yesterday. I'm not doing it with you

Yeah, I'm not doing it either. I've tried everything.

You tried to come in here and threaten me. Yeah, that too.

Let me tell you something.

If you put this in front of a judge, I will have hell right now with your life.

You hear me? You'll never see me good again.

I'll put your ass in a box.

Get ready for it then. Because I'm calling my lawyer when I leave here. You

at a 911 dispatch.

Broke bitch. You can't afford a lawyer.

Did you just call me a bitch again? Yeah, you damn right.

Do you not learn?

Are you dense in the head?

You better get yourself prepared because I'm calling my lawyer when I leave

here. Do you understand that? You can't afford a lawyer. Oh, baby, that's where

you're wrong.

Larry's my lawyer.

You two really want to do that dance, huh?

Yeah, we do. And from what I hear, he's really good at it.

You better grab your stuff and get out of my face.

Now.

Gladly.

I left him with whatever.

Ed, you need to pay this bill.

This girl just asked me to pay. Anybody want some free... She'll do it. She'll

do it for a burger.

Anybody? No?

You think I'll pay the bill? You better call one of your boy toys. You better

get Larry and Steven on the phone. Somebody.

You better sit down right now. If you think you're walking out... I don't have

my wallet. What do you want me to do? You have an officer of the law sitting

here. You think you're going to steal from this restaurant?

Pay the bill.

You better hit up one of these people or call Steven or Larry, one of your boy

toys.

I'm not bailing you out. I'll make a scene in here. Ed, I don't have my

so just pay the bill.

Absolutely not. You get up from that table.

You think I won't take you to jail? You better pay this bill.

Ed?

No, no, no.

She comes here all the time. It's okay. No, no, no. Today is not okay. I

appreciate you, but get away from me. No, really.

No, really. Get your fat ass away from me. Get behind that bar.

Ed. Now.

Go. I dare you.

Ed, stop.

Absolutely not.

Ed, stop.

Ed, let me go. Let me go. Ed, let me go.

Stop.

Stopping. It happened a long time ago.

Ed, stop.

Drop your bag and walk peacefully to the car. I'm going to get you for

resisting. Let me go.

Don't let me get you for resisting.

I don't want that. Thank you so much. Enjoy your lunch.

Dr. Hudson, hi. Alex.

Hi. I've been calling you.

Yeah.

I was busy. I'm sorry.

We need to talk.

I know.

Would you like to come in? Yeah.

Please.

So I had to go to the board at the hospital.

And tell them what you did.

I'm so sorry.

And I've been talking to my lawyer all day today.

Really? Really? I'm truly so sorry. I can tell.

But the kind of person Mr. Holmes is, he's going to make this a huge thing.

Yeah, I know.

So the first thing we did was rerun the DNA test.

And I thought you might want to know the results before he does.

What are they?

Oh, my God.

Next.

On if loving you is wrong.

These lies and secrets have gotten you here. And it's obvious that you have

another one. I don't give a damn. You need to see this. What the hell out of

face, man? Look, I know you're angry, okay? But you need to see this.

When I get out of here, you're done.

Do you think he's done?

I'll call the police.

You know no one believes you, right? When I'm done building this case against

you, you won't need to be worried about me. You will need to worry about a gang

of guys like me doing far worse.
