Original subtitles

-Where are my babies? -[Pam] Previously on Sistas...

You gave birth to a beautiful, healthy baby girl.

The other fetus... she was stillborn.

-I need my baby to be alive. -[Danni] For Black women...

They don't believe us until we're dead.

Watch your back for the rest of your -- life.

Why it gotta happen like this?

Do you have a name for her?

Forever Taylor.

[upbeat music]

[Pam] Surprise!

-Oh, what the hell, Pam? -Oh. It's you.

-Why am I seeing double? -My guess is weed and/or vodka?

No. Why are there still two of everything?

Duh, girl! Twins?

No one told you. Okay.

-[Pam] I don't understand. -I don't have time.

Can you please just start moving this stuff over here, please?

Girl, what are you doing?

Pam, something bad happened at the hospital.

Can you please help me start moving this shit?

-[Pam] Girl, are you high? -[Danni] Just trust me.

[Danni] No, just trust me. Get this stroller--

There she is! Let me see them babies.

-Oh! -[Lisa] Oh, no.

I can't do this.

[groans]

I don't understand.

Is the other baby still at the hospital?

[gentle music]

-Can you please? -Yes, of course. We'll tell her.

What happened?

The other baby was a stillborn.

And Karen almost didn't make it either.

They had to perform an emergency C-section.

But...

We still have one who made it.

This is my baby girl, Faith.

She's such a cutie.

How's Karen been?

Not good. She's barely said a word.

Miss Lisa...

If you want us to stick around to help, we can.

Absolutely. Anything that you guys need.

Thank you, ladies.

I think the best thing for Karen

right now is to get used to her new normal.

Aaron and I will be here to help her with Faith.

Okay, well, we will go say goodbye.

Yeah. Okay. Okay.

Thank you.

Two breast pumps? She doesn't have udders, Pam.

[Andi] Look, let's get you in bed... Okay, one at a time.

-Got a blanket? -Yes.

Lift your head up... No?

Sweetie...

-[breathing heavily] -Okay.

What is it? What is it, baby?

Last time I was in this room...

...both my babies were with me.

But never again.

We know, sweetie.

I had a whole future...

Now it's gone.

I know things seem dark right now, but you're gonna...

We're gonna get through this.

-Yes. -Okay?

And one day, everything will be all right.

No, Sabrina.

I lost her.

It's never gonna be all right!

You're right. I'm sorry.

-I'm so sorry. -Karen...

Karen, we got to get you some sleep, okay?

You got to get sleep. You have to get rest.

Your mother and Aaron are just outside, okay?

Mm-hmm, and if you need anything, okay?

Anything at all, we're just a call away.

-[Andi] You call us -We're here.

[Andi] Okay?

I thought maybe we could try breastfeeding again.

[sobbing]

We love you. We're here.

-We love you. -Bye, friend.

[Sabrina] Call us.

Bye, sweetie. Bye, baby.

[somber music]

[tense music]

Morning.

I said good morning.

-Mm. -Is everything okay?

[sighs heavily]

I know, I know, stop asking you that.

Thank you.

[Fatima] I just...

Never mind.

[Zac] Just say it. Go ahead.

Zac, I'm just worried about you.

Look, you barely said anything

since we got home from the hospital.

Just working through some stuff. But I got it, I got it.

It sure doesn't seem that way.

You've just been moping around for the last few days.

'Tima, I'm good.

You're good? Zac...

You almost get killed by Hudson.

Your baby passes, and you're good?

Look, I just...

I sent you to deal with Hudson and Gary alone,

and you almost got killed.

And then I'm the one that took Karen to the hospital.

Maybe I got in there faster,

or just taken her to a different hospital.

Hey, hey, hey... That's... That's not your fault.

Zac, I can't help but feel responsible.

And you'll barely even talk to me.

Hey, hey, hey. Please, stop.

I don't blame you for none of that.

So can you stop trying to make things

better that you had no control over?

Look, ain't you gonna be late for work?

Yeah, um...

I know I said I would go back today,

but I was thinking maybe I could just stay, you know?

And you and I could go to the gym or do something.

No, don't stay on my account. Seriously, seriously don't.

Zac, I don't want to leave you here by yourself all day.

Look, I really think it would

be good for us to do something and get you out of here.

I don't want to do nothing.

I appreciate everything you're trying to do, but...

I just feel like sitting on that couch.

Zac, I just can't leave you here.

Yes, you can.

I'm just working through some stuff, baby.

Look, I'm gonna be good,

I promise... Okay?

All right. I... I guess if you're sure.

I'm sure.

I'm sure.

All right, I guess I'll...

I'll go then.

I'll go then.

I love you.

I love you more.

Go ahead. You know I'm a thug.

[Fatima] You're not.

Come on, come on.

[gentle music] [Faith coos]

Look at this cute baby.

Oh, my God, you are just the cutest little thing.

Those little cheeks, Those little puffy cheeks...

You look just like your mommy. You know what?

My name is Grandma Lisa.

But you're going to call me Leelee when you grow up.

And Leelee loves you. She just loves you.

You are so adorable. Oh, look at that smile!

Karen, this baby has been smiling at me all morning long.

You should see her. Oh, my God, cute thing.

Oh, oh,

that would be your milk letting down... Mm-hm, yeah.

Because your body is already

knowing what that sound is all about.

See, Karen?

You're already attuned to Faith's needs.

I don't know about that.

Well, why don't you try breastfeeding again?

You know, I know it's a little tough getting used to it

in the beginning, but I promise once you get used to it,

it'll be the most natural thing that ever happened to you.

I really don't want to.

Okay, well...

-Maybe later. -[Faith coos]

No. Not later.

If you don't breastfeed more often,

-your milk is going to dry up. -Good.

That's an awfully big decision to make.

I just want it to stop.

-Okay... Come on, Faith. -[Faith crying]

I see another bottle of formula in your future.

[somber music]

Okay.

[Faith wails]

[upbeat music]

-Perfect. -Mm-hmm.

Andi!

You startled me, Hayden.

Well, I know you find me intimidating,

but, overdramatic much?

I hardly find a gnat intimidating.

Oh, you in a mood, huh?

What, your broom breakdown on the way in?

Anyway, I heard you took some personal days,

and, uh, I heard about what happened with Gary.

-And I'm sure you were thrilled. -Well, I'm all for scheming,

but even I draw the line at attempted murder.

I am glad to know that you have standards.

Thank you.

Look, I know we don't always see eye-to-eye,

so I just wanted to say I'm glad you're all right.

You are a fellow associate.

And, um, it's not too many of "us" around here to begin with.

Let me be clear, Hayden. There is no "us".

There's you, the employee, and me, the partner.

So I wouldn't screw with that

unless you want to spend the rest of your afternoon on Indeed

looking for another law firm to annoy.

[chuckles]

You see, I try to be nice. Then the talons come out.

-What is it? Cut the B.S. -Fine. Where is Gary?

And how the hell would I know?

[chuckles] Well, you were engaged to the man.

-Yeah, "were," as in no longer. -Right.

[Andi] Right.

You are fickle, huh? I do know that you get around.

What is that supposed to mean?

Well, there's our fearless leader, Robin,

and Jordan, that poor bastard...

Gary, for the umpteenth time. Then Robin again.

Am I forgetting anybody? Football team maybe?

[Andi chuckles]

That's good.

Do you have Tamara's list?

Exactly. Go to hell.

[Hayden] Okay, that was a low blow.

I'm sorry. You forgive me?

[tense music]

[Andi] What are you doing?

Oh, I was just checking to see if I see any powder burns

in case you shot Gary and got rid of the body.

You would know about powder.

[chuckles] The man is nowhere to be found. Wait...

Did you have Danni do something to him?

Because I'll be honest,

that -- looked like she knew how to bite.

Oh, I'm sorry. Was it something I said?

I'll ask H.R.

[Hayden] No, I was just playing.

[Andi] Yeah.

[upbeat music]

-Hey, baby, you good? -Yeah. I'm good.

-I'm just burning up in here. -Well...

You're not getting sick, are you?

I'm okay. No.

They just need to turn the AC up in here.

-Here. -I don't really need this.

How did things go with Karen this morning?

She's gutted.

I don't know how she's going to get through this one.

Well, she has you and you have me, so...

Yeah.

'Til you hit the Alaska Trail and die of dysentery.

Okay... I see you got jokes this morning.

Well, look, I got a couple of meetings I got to go to,

so I'll see you later, all right?

All right.

And, babe, don't worry about Karen.

-She will be all right. Promise. -Thank you.

Sorry to interrupt your little inappropriate workplace romance,

but how on earth did you get a payoff for assaulting me?

Well, Leonard, you got a punchable face.

Everybody just...

They just want to deck you, you know?

So I just did a public service. You know, I'm...

I'm a national treasure.

-[Gary] A national treasure? -American hero.

You humiliated me.

Well, that's what happens when you spread rumors

about people at work.

One day, you're gonna learn.

[scoffs] Well, it's not a rumor if it's true.

All right, well, snitches get stitches.

No one likes a gossip.

Have you not heard any of these things?

Oh, okay.

Well, then I guess you don't want to hear about the juicy

little tidbit I stumbled across in the copy room this morning.

-Hmm... -Don't worry.

You'll, uh, you'll know soon enough.

Well, here's the thing. I've got coffee again.

This time it's hot.

-Ooh, that burns a little bit. -Oh, great. Stay away from me.

[upbeat music]

Hey, fine...

Take the last pen I have left. I don't need it.

Lying, trifling --

need to stop stealing pens and overdrafting your accounts.

[chuckles] Bye-bye! [giggles]

And thank you for being a loyal member

of Brookhaven Bank and Trust.

Thank you. Thank you so much.

-Sir, I'll be right with you. -Yeah, thank...

Okay, excuse me, ma'am. I said, excuse me, ma'am!

Okay, so remember when we said our friendship would be based

on being honest when one of us was being rude?

No, I remember that I told you

that I would tell you when you were being rude.

But go on.

Okay, well... Come on.

Fine, whatever.

Sounds like someone woke up on the wrong side

of their satin-sheeted bed this morning.

Don't worry about my bed.

-Good morning everyone. -Good morning.

Girl, that good morning sounded terrible.

-I'll be right back. -Okay.

Hey...

Everybody bathe this morning?

[giggling] He's just joking.

You smell lovely.

What is going on?

-Hey, Maurice. -Hey is for horses.

I've been calling and calling all morning.

What's happening?

Well, we got Karen back home,

but... she's in just...

-She's in so much pain. -[Maurice] Yeah.

She's in so much pain, Maurice.

I don't--I don't even know what I can do to help her.

Well, you've been there for her, and that's all you can do.

I just feel like I'm walking on eggshells.

-[Maurice] Yeah. -You know...

I never know the right thing to say.

[somber music]

Sidebar....

I got some news from the fertility clinic.

Okay.

Well, what is it?

I found out the sex of the embryos.

They're all boys, four of them.

I knew it!

The first time I laid eyes on Damany I knew he had

that stand up in it, strong, masculine sperm.

He got a hard chin, so...

What? Never... You know what? Never mind.

Yeah, it just doesn't even feel right

to celebrate with everything going on.

Girl, you better celebrate.

We have to take every sunshine we get.

In the words of the late, great Angie Stone:

"My sunshine has come. May she rest."

And speaking of come... Last time you talked to Rich...

[scoffs] I haven't. Danni blocked him from my phone.

As she should. You know what? I really did like Richard.

But after he did what he did to you,

I could have bust the windows out of his car.

You know, honestly, Maurice, thank you.

But I do not want to talk about Rich.

I don't want to think about Rich.

Matter of fact, I never want to see him again.

I know that's right, with his ugly ass.

Damn.

Well, I'm sorry to disappoint you.

[tense music]

[knocking on door]

What is this? Just leave me alone!

Ah... What's up man? Come on.

Hey, man.

-What's this? -Donuts.

Ah, it probably...

would have been better with some bourbon or communal wine.

[chuckles]

I think it's a little early for that.

-Yeah. -Plus, I'm not Catholic.

You know, we do grape juice. You know what I mean?

Church wine be bussin?

Well, there's nothing like a quality donut.

-Thanks... What's up? -Sure, brother.

Uh, well, to be honest...

Pam got a lot of baby stuff,

and no one informed her about, um, Forever.

And?

Well, I just... I loaded it all up in my car to donate,

but I figured I'd come through here and offer it to you.

You know, with the, uh, the baby you're having with Fatima.

-Ron, I can't even, like... -It's all good, bro.

No. It's okay. Look...

I figured it could help, right?

So I'll just hang on to it. But I can keep it in my garage.

And then maybe if you feel up to it,

you just let me know later.

Cool. Appreciate it.

No problem.

Are you doing all right, man?

I don't even know. You know, um...

just... my mom died.

Fighting for custody of Michael. He had me taking my money.

The whole Gary/Hudson thing... And then...

Losing Forever? You know, it's...

I don't... I don't know how I'm supposed to be okay.

And I'm trying.

I don't think anyone's expecting you to be.

I'm trying to separate how I'm supposed to feel

from how I actually feel, you know?

Yeah. Yeah, but, I mean...

these things did happen,

and I think you're gonna feel how you're gonna feel.

Right?

Right... I just...

Keep asking me... I ain't got no answers.

Well, you don't have to...

Right? The answers will come.

And life's gonna throw us the curveballs

no matter what, honestly.

Well, can you tell life I need a damn break?

[sighs]

Listen, uh,

I know we've been through some things, right?

And I know I'm not your homie like that.

But Zac, I want you to know, man, I'm here.

I'm here if it's just to talk or if you want

to get out of the house or anything, man.

And I mean that... Seriously.

I appreciate you, bro. You...

Yeah.

Well, look, I better get back.

Yeah... Uh, you said these donuts is for me, right?

Yeah. Yeah, they're for you, brother.

Wait. Did I... Did I get a claw?

No, no, no, you already said these for me, so they're good.

You said you was leaving, right?

I did. Yeah, I did. You enjoy that.

I appreciate you, bro.

For sure, man. You take it easy, brother.

All right? I know it's rough, man.

[sniffling]

You lucky. You're lucky, man.

You know, I don't forget that, bro. Please don't.

I won't, bro. I won't take it for granted.

You take care of yourself, all right?

-I'm good... I'm good. -All right.

Hit me up, if anything. I mean it, Zac. All right?

-Gotcha. -All right.

[door clicks]

[whispering] I'm not okay. I'm not okay.

[heavy, shaky breath]

What the hell are you doing here at my job?

What the hell was I supposed to do, huh?

Who are you cussing at?

Maurice... It's fine.

Uh-huh? Bottom drawer, right side.

-[Sabrina] What? -The taser, girl.

Bottom drawer, right side.

Come on, man.

[Sabrina] It's all right, Maurice, I got this.

-You sure? -[Sabrina] Mm-hmm.

-[Richard] Okay. -Thank you.

-Them dry-ass smoothies. -Okay.

Yeah, right... Okay. All right. You finished? Thank you.

[Sabrina] What the hell are you doing here, Rich?

Like I said, I couldn't reach you.

Yeah, because I blocked you.

Oh, damn. So we blockin' numbers now?

Uh, yeah. That's what I decided to do

after I saw you sliding up into Penelope.

And you know what?

I had some time to think about this,

and I can't even believe you fell for that.

-Fell for what? -Penelope hates Andi.

So she's trying to get back at all of us.

Yo, in spite of what you and all your friends seem to think,

-not everything is about Andi. -[laughs] Okay?

Is that why she tried to screw Robin, too?

Or maybe... Maybe, unlike you, she liked me.

[chuckles]

Grow up, Rich. Grow up.

You know what? -- that. You grow up.

[tense music]

Remember, you broke up with me.

And never mind the fact that you slept with Damany

in Turks and Caicos while we were still together.

So delusional!

You know nothing happened between me and Damany.

So there goes your revenge plot.

That's cute. Yeah.

That -- been sniffing after you from the start.

What was it again?

Y'all went for a nice little walk?

Got a couple of drinks on the beach.

I mean, I know that's all it takes these days.

Hmm...

So what if it was?

[tense music continues]

Imagine me there...

in my little black dress, the one you liked so much.

And then I have my arms wrapped around another man.

-Mm! -That's not what I mean.

[Sabrina] Oh, stop it?

That's what I had to see.

Now how about you get the hell out of my office

and don't come back.

Well, shit, I ain't your man no more,

so I can do whatever the hell I want.

Some shit right here, we're gonna have this.

Well, you can see yourself out.

Now you can quit stalking me.

All right, yo, stop with all that.

I would hardly call this stalking.

Let's be real.

[scoffs] Okay, well, unlike you, this is my place of business.

You're the one that likes to do unsanitary antics

in your place of business.

But guess what? That drama will not live here.

Get out!

Okay, I'm gonna get out.

But first, we got some things we got to discuss first.

[upbeat music]

-Good morning. -[Andi] Oh.

I brought you a cappuccino from the coffee shop.

You are a lifesaver.

Well, you know, this coffee's pretty hit or miss.

[chuckles] Operative word is miss.

-[sighs] -And I wanted to check on you.

-Me? -Yes, you. How are you?

I should be checking on you. How was the baby?

-Oh... We're good, we're good. -[Andi] Yeah?

I'm just honestly... I'm worried about Zac.

Yeah... How is he?

[sighs] Hell if I know.

He grunts every time I ask him how he's doing.

He damn near pushed me out the door this morning

-to get me to come to work. -Why'd he do that?

I don't know, maybe I've been a little pushy.

But talking to him is like pulling teeth.

Friend... He's grieving.

Just give him some time.

Yeah.

Andi, are you sure you're all right?

Fine.

I'm okay.

-Andi... -Hmm?

Don't do that. Don't do that.

[gentle music]

I'm sorry.

No, no, no. What are you apologizing for?

I just... I feel like I'm on an emotional roller coaster.

Yeah... I can imagine.

On one hand,

I am so happy that we have Faith

and that she's safe and sound.

But on the other hand, I can't help but to feel anguish...

for Forever, the baby we lost.

And if I feel this way,

I can only imagine the desolation that Karen feels.

I... I'm... I'm... I'm trying to make sense of it.

And I'm also trying to be strong for Karen...

-and everybody else. -I get that, Andi, I do.

You have a big heart and you do anything

for the people you love.

But what about you?

You didn't even mention the crazy shit you went through

with Hudson and Jasmine's crazy ass.

Of course you're going through things.

[sniffles] I can't even sleep at night.

[sniffles] All I hear is gunshots.

[whimpering]

It's so loud, it's deafening.

[gasps] And I can't think.

I can't breathe... And...

when Hudson shot Jasmine in front of me,

I just knew.

I knew he was gonna turn the gun on me.

I thought, "He's gonna kill Gary first,

and then he's gonna shoot me."

And then my life...

My life flashed before my eyes.

And you know what I thought?

You know when I thought when that happened?

Is this all I've done?

Is this it? Is this... Is this my life? That's it?

Is this my contribution to society?

You didn't know...

This.

-Gary tried to call you at all? -No. Thank God.

Listen, Andi...

what you're going through is some real shit.

You don't have to push your feelings to the back burner

just because other people are hurting.

-Thank you for saying that. -[Fatima] Of course.

Sometimes we just gotta sit in what we're feeling, right?

Tears and shaking hands and all.

Because if we don't,

Andi, those feelings will come and bite you in the ass.

I know... okay?

Thank you, girl.

-I love you. -I love you, too.

[gentle music]

[traffic roars]

Okay, guys, I'm gonna try and get her to eat

and maybe even walk around a little bit.

Good... When I was in there, she was still asleep.

Are you sure you want to wake her up?

I'm with Aaron.

That girl is hibernating in there.

Well, the doctor said she has to walk around,

otherwise she could get blood clots, you know?

I'm also hoping that if she eats a little bit,

-she'll start to feel better. -If you say so... Good luck.

Good luck? [chuckles]

-You're coming with me. -[Pam] Me?

Mm-hmm.

-[Lisa] Come on. -[Aaron] Yeah, you do that.

I'm gonna check on this diaper real quick. You know?

-Cop out. -[Aaron chuckles]

-Good luck. -[Lisa sighs]

Come on, baby.

Knock, knock.

Hi, baby.

I think you should try to eat a little bit and then get up

and walk a little bit.

You know, try to build your strength back up.

The smell of that makes me nauseous.

Karen, you love this soup.

This is your grandmother's Get Better Soup.

Sorry to Grams, we do not feel better.

It's chicken,

it's potatoes, it's kale, it's noodles, it's carrots.

It's turmeric and ginger and garlic.

It's all the things you love.

And you know it's good for the body and soul.

And it can also ward off vampires.

And it's also really hot.

I also made you some fresh juice.

-[Lisa] Come on, baby, try it. -I'm too tired.

Of course you're tired after all you've been through.

-No, I'm tired of being awake. -What does that mean?

I'm tired of feeling so much.

The only time I get this feeling off my chest is when I'm asleep.

So please just let me sleep.

-Karen... -Please? Just...

Look, I'll make a deal with you: take two bites of the soup,

two sips of the juice,

walk out to the kitchen and back, and I'll let you sleep.

Okay?

What part of I don't want anything

don't you understand, Ma?

Look, Karen...

I know this is the worst thing you've ever been through,

but you do not talk to me like that.

Don't poke the bear.

No, ma'am.

I did not raise my daughter to be disrespectful to me,

especially when we're just trying to help her feel better.

No one can help me. I'm lost.

Okay? I am lost.

And I don't want to eat and drink and walk around.

I don't want to be around people

who keep telling me I need to feel better,

to act like my baby's just not gone, okay?

So please let me sleep.

Okay... Okay, baby.

I'll help, uh...

I'll help keep the home front.

And, uh, Pam will keep an eye on the shop, okay?

Got you, sis.

You just... feel better.

Don't worry about anything.

[somber music]

[mellow music]

[cell phone rings]

Hello?

Andi... Hey, it's Doctor Vaughn. How are you doing?

I'm doing well. Um, just one day at a time.

-How are you? -Well, I just,

uh, finished an overnight shift, so pretty exhausted.

[Andi] How can I help you?

Yeah, I was trying to get in touch with Ms. Mott

to see how she's doing, but I haven't heard anything back.

I just got a little worried.

-She's still adjusting. -Makes sense.

Yeah, most moms' hormones are all over the place

after giving birth.

Yeah, I just don't know when the hormones end

-and the grief begins. -Yeah, it's tough,

but I think Miss Mott will make a full recovery.

She's young, resilient.

Sometimes the best cure is time

and great friends supporting her.

You know, I really admired how

passionately you stood up for Miss Mott.

Thanks.

-I thought it was inspiring. -I did what any friend would do.

[scoffs] I don't know,

most patients who come to the hospital

don't have anyone to advocate for them.

It's especially an issue with Doctor Cruise's patients.

I'm sorry. What does that mean?

This wasn't Doctor Cruise's first time playing

with a patient's life.

He has more complaints?

Look, I probably shouldn't say anything.

And you being a lawyer? I...

Okay. What about me being a lawyer?

W... Is there more litigation against him?

I really can't say.

Well, you were quite talkative the other night.

What's one more secret between friends?

[chuckles]

Okay... Look, between me and you,

there have been complaints and...

even a few lawsuits.

And nothing's been done about it?

Nothing. Hospital just hushed it all up.

I guess it's not what you know, but who you play golf with.

[scoffs]

That's despicable.

Another woman shouldn't have

to go through what I saw Karen go through.

A woman shouldn't have to worry about

if she's receiving proper care or not.

The question haunts me, too.

[Andi] I don't know how you manage.

Well, I've thought of resigning in protest a few times,

but then nobody would be here to protect the patients.

That's very noble of you.

[chuckles]

I guess you and me are both

out here trying to save the world.

Maybe... Maybe I can do more.

[plane roars]

Hey, baby.

-Hey. -[chuckles] Guess what?

You found the perfect igloo on Zillow.

[laughing]

No, seriously,

I figured out a way that you can save on your commute to work.

-How's that? -You can ski in.

[scoffs, laughs]

You got so many jokes this morning.

Bet. Tell me another one.

I don't have any more corny jokes.

All right, well, look, you just keep working on your material.

They might build a stage for you to perform right here.

Anyway, look, as I was saying, I got news.

So, look, I thought a lot about you and I.

And...

Look, we both know that flying back

and forth is not going to work.

-No. -[Tony] Right.

And I know that long distance isn't really your thing.

-You made that pretty clear. -Yeah.

I mean, besides the kinky phone sex,

-I mean, what is there to do? -Exactly.

So the conclusion that I came up with.

It's impossible.

So you're saying...

Oh, I know what this is.

You thought people being around when you break up

with me was going to save you?

-Boy, you were dead wrong. -[Tony chuckles]

What? No, of course that's not...

You do know I love you, right?

-Y... Yeah. -I would never do that.

And besides, there is nothing

more important to me than you and our relationship.

-I... I feel the same way. -Yeah.

I thought we were going to chill on the PDA at the J-O-B.

Come here.

None of that matters anymore.

I thought a lot about what you said and...

I took your advice.

So you're saying...

[chuckling]

Yeah, I quit Higher Airlines.

Come here.

[upbeat hip hop music]

Girl, you almost scared the Black off of me.

Oh, well, good news... You are still Black as ever.

Okay. Wow. I, uh, I heard that, and it...

-[Maurice] Yeah... -It wasn't good.

Anyway, I like to think of myself as a scoop

of old people ice cream:

butter pecan with a drizzle of salted caramel on top.

Child, I love a top.

[giggles] Oh, yeah?

Well, I would say that you are beautifully colored.

-Damn it... I heard that. -Ah, Paige...

Yes.

Maybe you ought to learn to shut the -- up.

-Noted. And I'm sorry. -Yes. You are.

[Sabrina] What makes you think I'd want

to keep anything associated with you?

[Rich] It was a gift!

Oh, God. What is going on in there?

Well, I believe that at this point in the argument,

Sabrina has returned everything

that he's given her in a box to the left.

But there was a special trinket that she included in the box.

What? Why would she do that?

When I broke up with my ex-fiancé,

-I pawned the engagement ring. -I know that's right, girl.

The last man I dated,

I took his shit back to the gift shop to get my money.

And then I used those proceeds to buy a subscription

to a dating site to -- on someone else.

Oh my God.

Breakups are pretty tough, though.

Mm-hmm.

And it sounds like Hiroshima in there.

I did have a quick little question, um, about this.

[Maurice] Is this the trollop in question?

Um, hello, Meat Mouth... Ma'am.

-Um, how can we help you today? -I'm here to see Sabrina.

Aren't you the bitch that slept with Rich?

-[gasps] -In the flesh.

Why are you here?

Do you have a death wish or something?

-I can take care of myself. -Oh, really?

Yeah.

Well, you seem to be dressed for war, but I got news for you

with that raggedy-ass jumpsuit on that granny top...

-Oh... -We will jump you, whore.

Hoe. It's hoe?

Okay, I do not have time for this.

-Where's Sabrina? -Where is Sabrina?

Oh, you know what? Never mind.

Ma'am? Ma'am? Oh my God, Maurice.

Should we call the police?

Absolutely not. Girl, this is a Black bank.

[Paige] Oh. That's right.

But what you can do is find the nearest first aid kit.

'Cause if anybody's getting their ass beat,

it's Put Out Penelope.

-Oh my God. -Let's march.

What woman in her right mind would get back

with a cheating snake?

What happened between me and Penelope was nothing.

[Fatima] Next on Sistas.

So out of everything I've said in this relationship,

this is what you decide to listen?

Come on. Isn't this exciting?

Yeah, the excitement is shut up in my bones, Tony.

She's barely moved out of that room.

-She's shutting down. -Yeah.

Isn't all this information confidential?

How are you getting it?

I cut some corners.

-Yo, cuz! What's up? -Rock, what are you doing here?
