William, what are you doing?

I'm watching you while you sleep.

Hoping the hell that you'll wake up.

You know, your head did hit the floor pretty hard. Twice.

Oh, I got a big knot back here.

Well, I'm sure it's not the... Damn.

I don't know where the head starts and the bump ends.

William. Well, look.

Just wear your hair all big and no one will even notice.

I hope this falling goes down in time for the party.

What party?

The one I want to throw to celebrate us getting back together.

I ain't paying for no party.

I already spent our first two kids' college money on that wedding.

I got to pin my hopes and dreams on that third kid.

Those first two dummies are going to trade school.

But what about my party?

Oh, baby, come on.

Once our friends find out that we're back together, they're going to throw us

whole pass full of parties.

You know, our friends are just living to see us get back together.

Somebody's got a big head.

Said the big -headed pot to the kettle.

Then do you want to explain why your pantry smells like the bump and grind?

That's Monica and William's smell. I think they got back together.

Don't nobody care about them.

We want to know why you're cheating on Aaron with Brock. I am not cheating.

I had a conversation with him. And FY... FYI,

Aaron and I are taking a break.

Taking a break?

Joan, that's insane. Just five minutes ago, you wanted him to propose to you.

Well...

He didn't.

But I did.

Yes, that's right, that's right. I humiliated myself and I embarrassed him.

And I broke a promise that I made to myself that I would stay in the moment.

as of this moment, Aaron and I are not on the same page.

And I'm not going to stay in the relationship and try and force something

isn't there.

Oh, and one day after you don't get what you want from Aaron, you act out by

calling Brock?

Brock called me.

Oh, he did?

The timing, it's freaky, I know, but maybe all the work that I did with Aaron

was meant to ready me for Brock.

Listen to me, I'm going to state my speech.

Need I remind you, Brock was an ass the last time you were with him, and he did

not want to have kids.

Yeah, well, he does now.

Oh, he do?

Look, I'm not saying I'm getting back together with Brock, you guys.

All I'm saying is, in my effort to stay in the moment...

I need to be open to the fact that Brock is in this moment.

For 35 years, that chick has been living in the follicle crazy, and moments

before we're about to pull off her dream engagement, she wakes up a cheating cow

clarity.

Darnell. Yo.

Darnell, sorry I'm late.

But Monica and I slept in.

Do you know what I mean?

That's right. We're back together.

Man, tell me this.

Why do I have to choose between work and home?

Okay, now Maya said that I could buy the garage, but I know if I do, she's going

to be bitching and moaning about not having a house.

I tell you, I'm getting sick and tired of having to make these choices.

Why can't a man just have it all without a bunch of mess?

You know what? You know what, man?

I can't even play basketball today.

I got to take care of some business.

Monica, baby, I don't know what kind of celebration the gang has in store for

us, but if it's making Darnell skip out on basketball, it is a doozy!

Oh, um, he wants to know why Joan hasn't called him when we said she would. Tell

him I talked to her.

My talk to her.

Yeah, tell him. Tell him everything's going to be okay.

Everything's going to be okay. And trust me. Trust my hands.

And hang up. No, no. You hang up. Okay, bye.

Oh, my God. You know what? I'm cracking under the pressure. I just need to call

Joan. I need to confess everything. Hey, hey, hey, hey. Look at me. Look at me.

Look at me. Look at me. Okay?

Joan deserves a grand proposal. And you know what? We're going to give it to

her. to calm your little ass down, okay?

We can still fix this. No, we can't. Look, we can't. Look, we ruined

We ruined Joe's life.

See?

I fixed you. Now we got a bitch like this situation.

What I miss most about you is your exuberance for life.

You're not afraid to laugh loud or sing silly songs or wear Christmas outfits

when it's not Christmas or holiday outfits when it's not holiday.

Yeah. Most people call my kind of exuberance crazy.

You bringing crazy back?

Well, it's sexy as hell.

I love how you run off to Catalina without even a toothbrush.

Actually, I have a toothbrush in my earthquake survival kit that I keep in

purse.

You see that?

I gotta be with that.

Not only will I survive an earthquake, but I'll live.

To see that smile.

Ron, you gotta stop.

Why?

You know when something's right. You know when you find the right person.

And you are right for me.

Okay,

slow down, slow down, Aaron. Okay, Joan went where?

Good. You know, Catalina is very restful. She probably just needs some

think. Uh -huh.

Aaron?

Aaron!

Aaron's on a two o 'clock ferry to Catalina Island.

Why? Because Joan took our crazy ass to Catalina Island.

Catalina was her favorite place to go with...

guys doing here and then what is that in your hair never mind that okay you're

about to make the biggest mistake of your life joan oh my god maya why didn't

you tell me i'm this hot of a mess girl you don't look any different than you

usually do hello guys why are you guys here you love aaron so he didn't say

he wanted to hear when he wanted to hear it but it doesn't mean he won't say it

it's just like god

I know.

Well, if you know anything, why are you in here acting like a dummy?

I just figured it out.

I mean, when Brock kissed me... Oh, my God!

I mean... Damn, do you have corn?

All I could think about was Aaron.

And how he's the one I love.

Then why did you run away with Brock?

Because he was talking about Enchanted.

To my proposal.

Get it right.

He did not say no. He didn't say anything.

Yeah, because you ran off.

Wait, how do you know that I ran off? I never told you that.

Yeah, Lynn.

How do you know that?

You know how you just say something crazy and run off all dramatic?

Yeah, that is true.

I do.

What now?

No, she went to see her friends, Kat and Lena.

They talked some sense into her.

Yeah, everything's good to go.

Okay, bye.

What was that?

Things.

Okay, we'll be there.

What is it?

Aaron is having a little get -together at his place.

You know what that means.

Yeah. It means our surprise party is not on the roof of the standard.

It's down at some crack house in the hood.

Sweetie. Fine, I'll go.

But they best have some coleslaw.

What's doing?

OD 'ing on prenatal vitamins.

Here.

What's this?

It's the key to our new house.

What? I mean, it's not the actual key. I can't get that yet. But it's a symbolic

key. I mean, it's a real key. It opens something. I don't know what. I found it

in my car.

You got us the house? Yes.

Yes, yes, yes.

Baby,

I thought you were going to bunk my dream and get your garage.

Oh.

I got the garage, too.

Well, where's the third key?

What third key? To the prison cell.

Because clearly you robbed a bank.

Darnell, what are you doing? We don't have this kind of money. No, no, you

bought me a new car and no go -backs.

Look, I made a deal.

With who?

Hmm? Some numbers runner?

Some loan shark? A soprano?

No, with the owner of the house.

All right? It's a lease -to -own deal.

We lease the house for two years and we make all the improvements on it

ourselves. And then at the end of the two years, we get first dibs to buy it.

And, baby, I'm sure with the money from the garage, we're going to be able to

cover it.

Maya, from the day I saw you coming out of Home Ec with them burnt -up cookies,

I wanted to give you the world.

I figured two -choice properties on West Adams was a good start.

I love you.

I love you, too.

Oh, oh, hey.

How you doing?

Sitting in the one thing that I own that you ain't got your step -ball up in.

There's my curling iron.

I can't correct it. Joe, hand me my car adapter.

Here. Thank you.

Thank you for taking my family in.

I was taking my family in.

All right, I'm pregnant. Don't make me emotional. The moment could last for two

hours. Oh, my God. Oh, my God. I hope not.

Hormone Hannah's what got me out here in the first place.

You could go home.

Uh -uh. Miss that on all the bonding.

Okay. What's the hat? What's the stitch?

How long have you been in here? Never mind that. How'd your talk with Aaron

I haven't called him yet. Oh, my God.

Oh, my God.

What?

Oh, my God.

Are you okay?

No. No.

She's fine. She's fine. Stay with me. Okay. Look at me. Stay with me. Why

haven't you called him?

I was going to, but, you know, I realized it's been a couple days and he

called me. That's because you left his ass on his front porch on Bendit Knee.

How could you possibly know that?

Oh, my God, Maya, how could you possibly know that?

Oh, hell, girl.

It's just a figure of speech.

You know, from slave days.

picking cotton on bended knees.

What?

Okay, look, just pick up the phone and call the man because, you know what, I

really can't take this anymore. Maya, I can't.

Take what?

Take the fact that you're about to lose this man.

Look, you guys, I told you, he doesn't want me.

You told us to tell you when you're messing up, okay? Hey, you're messing

All right, so let's vote on it.

How many people think she's messing up? Oh, look, it's three out of three. It's

unanimous.

Okay, Joan, look, I've never seen you happier than you are when you're with

Aaron. I know. I mean, he accepts you for who you are.

He doesn't try and change you.

Please call him.

Come on, Joan.

You know you want to.

Once you hear his voice, you know the only place he's going to want to be is

with you.

Fine, fine, fine, I'll call him.

Hey, it's me.

Joan?

We need to talk, Aaron.

I know.

But not on the phone. Can we do it in person?

Okay.

So should I come down there right now? No, sorry, but I can't see you till

tomorrow. All right, cool?

Cool. Bye.

Bye.

Why does he not want to see me until tomorrow?

Well, shut up. At least he wants to see you.

Because then I wouldn't be the one to propose to you.

Okay, wait.

Okay, put your glasses back on. I want you to miss a moment of this.

Now, I had to do this right, but I needed time.

I needed time to get your father's permission.
