There she is. Let me see them babies.

Can't do this.

Previously on The Fifties. I do not want
to talk about Rach. I never, ever want

to see him again.

Well, I'm sorry to disappoint you. No
one can help me. I'm lost.

I don't want to be around people who act
like my baby's just not gone.

This wasn't Dr. Cruz's first time
playing with a patient's life.

And nothing's been done about it?
Where's Sabrina?

Do you have a death wish or something?

I can take care of myself.

Oh, really?

Are you serious right now?

Rich, I don't want anything from you
anymore.

No gifts, no apologies, and damn sure no
more lies.

Because tell me, what woman in her right
mind would give back with a cheating

snake? How many times do I have to
explain this shit to you?

What happened between me and Penelope
was nothing.

All right? We grew up together. We're
familiar. That's it.

Oh, familiar.

That's it. Okay. Why don't you go
familiarize yourself with the door?

Oh, it's like that.

It is like that.

Oh, my God. What the hell are you doing
here?

Sabrina. Oh, girl, we tried to stop her,
but you know what they say about

roaches? They're relentless.

And very fast.

Look, I had nothing to do with this.

Sabrina, if you will let me just
explain.

in my children's lives. Also, you can
jump on a married man.

Please, please, please.

Okay, I'm the one you want. No, no, no.

Patient Jennifer Jones, African
-American, age 27,

underwent a scheduled cesarean section
on December 20th,

2023.

Procedure completed the fourth in a row.

Procedure completed in 17 minutes.

Post -observation indicated severe
abdominal pain, excessive fatigue.

Despite symptoms, no immediate
intervention was initiated.

Patient later found unresponsive.

Husband described the situation as a
butcher job, saying that she was

to death and he ignored every sign.

Lead surgeon, Dr. Brett Cruz.

December 20th.

You showing up here at my job with this
bullshit?

No. Sabrina, I just want to talk.

Look like she wanted someone at penis
pulp.

You, you, you both can do whatever the
hell your hearts desire.

And you, you love showing up to people's
places unannounced, don't you?

Sabrina, it was nothing.

We are just friends. That is it.

Get the out now.

Take his ass with you.

I tried.

Move. Oh, girl, die.

Oh, you left something, bitch.

Seems to be your integrity and your gag
reflex.

So, um, you're telling me that you quit
the high -paying corporate job with the

401K and benefits?

Yeah, you heard me right. I quit higher
airlines. I am out of here.

Look, you were right, all right?

The long -distance thing, it won't work.

And besides, you always said I don't
listen to you, so... So out of

I've said in this relationship, this is
what you decide to listen?

Yeah, because you were right.

Come on, isn't this exciting?

Yeah, the excitement has shut up in my
bones, Tony. Well, let it out then. Come

on.

Listen, hey, hey, hey, hey.

Let's undo this.

Maybe you can go talk to him and get
your job back. It might not be too late.

mean, did you even put up a fight?

Some of us have to still worry about our
jobs, so... Look, I feel really good

about this, all right?

And I want to say thank you for
empowering me.

You're welcome, I guess.

So what's your plan, Tony? Like, what
are we going to do? You're going to lay

your mom's couch?

Well,

I guess right now I'm being escorted
out.

Oh, here they come.

Oh, gosh, this just reminds me of my
college days.

Can you give me a second, please?

Look, meet me at the steam plant, all
right? Let's celebrate. Let's talk about

our new life over a nice meal and some
drinks.

Can you even... Come on.

Okay, yeah.

See you at the steam plant. All right.

I'll see you some day.

You carry the boxes.

I'm not working no more.

Damn it, Danielle.

Watch you up and down now, girl.

Oh, my God.

This poor child is out of everything.

Yeah, I noticed.

But I can go get some groceries for us.

You know, I don't know. She doesn't seem
to have much of an appetite.

She's barely moved.

Has she even come out to see the baby?

No.

And honestly, I'm a little worried.

She's shutting down.

You know, postpartum is real. It's like
post -traumatic stress disorder.

She's got to get up and she's got to
move around.

It's just too important.

Look, I want to figure out how to help.

What can I do?

Yeah, well...

We can't force her.

All we can do is encourage her.

You know, baby steps.

Hold her hand. Sit with her.

You know, remind her that she's needed.
You need her. Faith needs her.

Yeah.

I can do that.

But if I can be real with you for a
moment.

Look, I know this is about Karen.

I'm really struggling with my feelings
here.

I obviously don't want her to see me
upset, and I don't want to make things

worse for her, for sure.

It's just I... You know what? Never
mind.

It doesn't matter.

Aaron, come on. It matters.

Daddy.

Look, I guess all I can suggest is let
her feel what she's feeling and...

Listen to her.

Be here for her.

Yeah.

You know what?

I'll go do the grocery shopping.

Why don't you just stay here and watch
our girls, okay?

Of course I will.

Aaron, I want you to know, as hard as
this is for

you, I just want to thank you.

Where is Fatima?

Hey, Andy.

I was hoping that I was going to see you
before I left, but I'm just calling

because I'm calling for the same reason
that I came back.

Because I love you.

And if I don't get a chance to tell you
this in person, then at least I will

have said it here.

I know I've talked a lot about wanting
what's best for you and wanting to

protect you, but what I didn't say was
what I want for us

and how I would love to spend the rest
of my life with you.

At this point, I only wish that you felt
the same way, but it's clear now that

you don't, so I won't hold that against
you.

Me and you, we're a lot.

You know, no matter how special it is,
you have the right to choose you.

So I guess I will see you when I see
you.

Please be safe.

Damn, Fatima.

You looking burnt out.

Not today, Hayden.

Let me guess.

You and the ex -con been fighting?

You know you need to get it together,
right? This is a friendly law firm.

You want friendly, Hayden? Get a dog.

Oh, wait, I forgot you have one in your
bed.

How's Tamara, by the way?

There she is. Wicked team.

It's funny I can still get you pressed
like that.

Always getting a rise out of you.

Hayden, keep talking reckless, and I'll
show you just how pressed I am when I

hit you right in your face.

Now get out!

What's up, baby?

Hey. Just called to check on you.

Chilling?

Well, did you at least eat something?

Yeah, I just had a donut.

No, Zach, we not doing that. Hold on.

I just placed you a food dash order.

Baby. Don't baby me. Look, no, I need
you okay.

We need you okay.

All right, I'm going to get something to
eat.

All right.

I got to go. I'll call you later, okay?

I love you. Love you more.

Hey, Pam.

Hey, Daddy Aaron. I'm just checking on y
'all.

How's Cameron?

Not good.

She is really not herself right now. I
figured as much. You know, I feel so

But don't worry about the shop. Pam has
got it on lock.

I appreciate it. Yeah, it's just that
she's... Hold on.

Trina, I told you I don't do no bootleg
bundles in my shop. Absolutely not.

Pam. So like I was saying...

Don't worry about things over here. I'm
going to hold it down on my end. And you

just do whatever you do.

Pray or whatever.

My girl is strong. She's going to come
around.

I hope so.

And thanks, fam.

For real, though, Aaron, you are so good
for her.

Hold on.

Miss Johnson.

Miss Johnson.

Your wig ain't on cricket, honey. It's
just a mirror.

Aaron, I got to go.

Perfect. Take a look at this. Okay.
Thank you. So, I found some evidence on

Karen's doctor.

Apparently, there are some discrepancies
in his record that can help us through

formal practice.

And if I can get the hospital to admit
negligence, we'll have them on the

Okay.

Isn't all this information confidential?

How are you getting it?

I cut some corners illegally.

Like you. Okay.

You know, Annie, it's so crazy that this
is actually a thing with black women in

health care.

I know.

I really appreciate you taking it on
like this for both Karen and for Zach.

You know, it's helping me keep busy and
keep my mind off of everything that's

happening with me.

Mm -hmm.

Andy?

Oh, don't do that. Don't do that. No.

I told you. If you need to talk, I'm
here.

Spill it.

Robin left me a voicemail, and I think
he's moving on.

I kind of figured that.

I know it doesn't make it easier.

Honestly, I just keep trying.

The more I try, it just feels like too
much. Everything is falling apart.

I can imagine the weight of it all.

I keep pushing, and then I feel like I'm
drowning.

Andy, it's okay not to be okay.

Yeah, but Robin, he came in like a
knight in shining armor.

Yeah, he did come to your rescue.

I hate him a big bad wolf, but he did
look out for you.

So I get to get cool points for that.

He had a way of making me feel safe.

Especially with Gary's mind scrolling.

And then Jordan.

The audacity of him to think that I'm an
evil villain who's out to destroy his

sister. Like, boy, please.

I don't know. I guess it never really
dawned on me who he was to me or how he

was to me until now.

And now it's too late.

Feel what you need to feel, but get your
power back.

He's giving you PTSD.

Tell me about it. Right.

It's just, I'm having a hard time
controlling my anxiety.

You ever feel that?

Anxiety? Yeah.

That we met?

Yeah, more than I even talk about.

Really? Andy, sometimes the weight of it
all just feels like it's just sitting

right here on your chest.

Oh, my gosh.

I mean, you do a good job of controlling
it.

I mean, do I have a choice?

Heavy is the crown of the black woman.

Andy,

it's okay to feel what you feel about
Robin.

Yeah.

I know. I just have to feel it.

No shortcuts.

And then I'll come out on the other
side.

Yeah.

Oh.

Hold on. This is the front desk phone.

Hey, Linda, what's going on?

Ms. Wilson, sorry to bother you.

I tried to call Ms. Barnes, but there's
a young man who was asking for some

help. Says he was sent by Marie Bliss.

Um, okay, I'll be right up there. One
second.

Um, that was the front desk saying that
someone's up there that Ms. Marie sent?

Hmm. I can go see what they want and let
you know.

Okay, yes, please.

And we can work on the case later.

All right. All right. Andy, you got
this. We got this.

Thank you, girl. Of course.

Good meal?

They got the sauces right for your boy
today.

So how are you going to pay for this,
you know, now that you're my boy?

What? I'm not broke.

Look, I'm good.

Plus, I'm at peace with my decision, you
know?

I had time to clear my head, and I agree
with my woman.

I'm ready to focus on what really
matters.

Okay.

So, I appreciate that very sweet
gesture.

But for real, what's your plan? You
know, you got like a year's worth of

savings?

Or you got a retirement account, some
investments? Or, you know, do you think

your charm is going to...

Pay the bills.

You just think about all of that for
like a minute, okay?

This is about freedom.

You know, to do what I want to do.

What's the therapist call it?

Living my truth.

That's what I'm doing. And that job was
not it. All right? I'm rebuilding

myself.

And we're good.

All right? I'm focused on us.

On something real.

So what do you do when that... freedom
you're talking about doesn't come with a

check.

Okay. I'm sensing a spirit of worry from
you.

All right? We don't need to stress right
now because when you live your truth,

the universe got your back.

Mm -hmm. Mm -hmm. Mm -hmm. Mm -hmm.

Okay. All right, Mr. Universe. You live
in whatever reality you've cooked up and

I will just have to deal with the one
that has bills and other adult things.

All right.

What is it with you, Danny? Because...

A minute ago, you were saying, I should
quit my job, and I could find a new one,

and I have so many skills and talents.
And one minute later, you're saying, I'm

like a loser or something. I don't get
it.

There's no way to please you, is there?

All right, okay.

I support you.

What?

I support you.

Good, good.

I'm telling you, don't worry about me,
all right?

Nothing's going to shut me down.

I'm like water, you know? I always find
my way back to shore.

That water doesn't have to pay bills.

You do.

But you know what? You live your best
life, boo.

Our best life.

Our best life.

Sarah, babe, you gotta stop worrying,
okay?

Join me in this calm...

It's the new wave.

Yeah.

Calm before the storm.

Try the wings.

The sauce on it? Crazy.

I don't have much of an appetite.

Oh, you can nibble on the fries.

You can always eat a fry.

Ms. Barnes, I was the one out here
making moves, but I didn't know you were

fly. Actually, I'm Fatima Wilson. I work
on Ms. Andy Barnes' legal team. And you

are?

Girl, you know me. Stop playing.

Definitely giving B -boy.

Oh, see, now you're capping for sure.

Your rookie pick, Kendrick Waters.

Or as fans would call you, K -dubs from
the Atlanta Firebolts.

In the flesh.

I know a little something -something
about sports.

Congrats on being drafted.

How can we help you?

Well, my godmother, Mary Willis, she
told me y 'all was real tight with

contracts. Told me if I want to keep my
game tight, you need to come holler at y

'all. She said that.

Well, if Ms. Marie sends you, I'll have
to take a look.

Call into the conference room.

All right. All right.

Oh, yeah, y 'all real boss energy in
here.

Look, I'm not going to lie. I'm just a
ball player.

I don't know nothing about contracts,
investments, legal mumbo -jumbo.

That's not my lane. I'm going to leave
that up to you hot shot lawyers.

Well, I am a paralegal.

Not a lawyer just yet. But I do know a
thing or two about business.

And Ms. Ray Willis, you can't say no to
her.

Oh, God, you can't say no to her. Her
and my Gigi are line sisters.

And she don't co -sign for nobody, so y
'all must be dope.

She surely does not.

Take a look at this.

So how bad is it?

Well, uh, Kendrick, this is bad.

What do you mean?

Well, for starters, they own your image,
your face, your name, everything.

You're their billboard.

Wait, wait, you playing me right now?
That can't be right.

No, this is real.

And this here?

Moral turpitude.

Moral what now?

Moral turpitude.

So, say the company doesn't think you
fit their brand anymore.

They can drop you, no payout.

Wait, wait, wait. So if I get into
someone's club, they'll drop me?

Even something minor.

They can let you go and keep the bag.

That's wild.

It's wild, but it's common.

Look, these businesses, they protect
themselves and hang you out to dry.

So what, I'm just supposed to walk
around all soft?

Nah, this ain't it.

No, not that, but they are flashing a
lot of money.

But the strings?

Way too many.

Well, folks be fake.

I mean, they just hyping this up like
this is my big break.

Yeah.

Big break or big trap.

You're going to be a killer lawyer,
Fatima. For real.

I appreciate that.

Look, I'm just, I'm tired of seeing us
get played, you know?

So what's my next move?

Well, for starters, we are going to
scratch this clause and negotiate with

team. Okay, well, you are my team.

Well, technically, I'm doing a favor.

You would need Ms. Barnes to make this
official.

Okay, well, let's do it.

Not so fast. I really think you should
talk to your management first.

How about this?

When you guys take me home, then we can
talk to them.

Okay. I will talk to Andy, but for now,
this should get you started, okay?

Thank you. You're welcome.

Attention all passengers on flight 3117
to Chicago O 'Hare. Your plane is here,

so please grab your luggage, grab your
trash, and grab your kids.

Don't leave them here, okay?

All right, enjoy your flight to the
Windy Cities.

Hey, Karen, it's me. I'm just checking
on you.

You don't have to call me back or
anything.

Just wanted to say, girl,

I don't know what to say, but I love
you.

I don't even know what to do with
myself.

Yo, Gus!

What's up?

Rock?

Big yellow, my favorite cousin. You
looking good in that uniform, girl.

like money, money, money.

Rock, what are you doing here?

Karen.

Karen, can you please talk to me?

Just tell me what's going on in that
head of yours.

Look, I know it's hard, okay?

I know you feel like you're losing
yourself.

But just please don't shut down on us.

This pain that you're feeling, this pain
is temporary.

I promise.

You're still here, Karen.

You're still here, and you're loved.

All right, don't forget that.

I'm not meant to be a mother.

Never was.

That's why I couldn't take her.

Karen, if you weren't meant to be a
mother, you wouldn't still have faith.

Come back to us.

Please, we are here with you right now.

Here you go, babe.

There you go.

Karen,

I'm here.

You're not broken, Karen.

I'm not going anywhere.

Okay? You hear me? I'm going to be right
here.

I'll be outside the room if you need me,
okay?

Mommy, I'll get better.

Yo, you mind if I tell the guys about
you? I'm sure they can use somebody like

you for real.

You know, I'm sure we can work something
out. I'll talk to you as far as since

you highly... My fault.

Is that Kendrick Waters?

Oh, my guy, rookie of the year. What's
up, boy?

Yeah, what's up, man?

What's wrong, dude? What's up, bro?

Oh, my fault.

Hey, you know I've been following you
since college, right?

Since you was dropping 30 at night at
ASU?

Atlanta about to go crazy this year.

Yeah, that's wild.

Oh, I'm Hayden Moss, by the way. Let me
introduce myself.

No, no, no.

I'll fail you.

What brings you to my firm?

Your firm?

Fatima dope, man.

She kind of put me on game on
everything.

Dope?

You buying this man like that? Come on
now.

Look, you know she a paralegal, right?

That's like saying the guy that makes
the fries at McDonald's is a chef.

You heard that?

Yeah, and you're the guy who handles the
sauces and still seems to get the order

wrong.

Yo, that was good.

No, see, that was mad disrespectful.

See, I'm trying to connect with my guy,
and you coming at me crazy.

No, you came in here uninvited and tried
to clown me.

You know what?

I got a good heart, so I ain't even
going to go to work.

Look, K -Dubs, I'm going to keep it real
with you.

I'm the real plug around here.

PR moves, branding, contracts.

So if you need a real lawyer... I'm
right down there. Don't let her... All

right.

Who is here making sure my godson isn't
out here signing his soul to the devil?

Let's see, Marie.

The team have been putting me on game on
everything with my contract.

I told Andy Barnes to handle this.

Yes, she is a little tied up right now,
but I can assure you, Miss Willis, he's

in good hands. We'll take good care of
him.

Marie Willis, it is always a pleasure to
see you.

Hayden, just cut the crap, because your
incompetence almost cost me my business

and a beachside condo.

That was my bad, but... You know,
Hayden, you might like to hear yourself

but I, however, do not.

Fatima, do you have this?

Yes, ma 'am, I do.

Yeah, I mean, the way that Fatima broke
everything down for me, she probably

saved me millions.

Millions. Only thing she saved around
here is some ass.

Get it right the first time, Fatima,
because I do not like to repeat myself.

Yes, ma 'am.

All right.

Call me when the ink is dry. All right.

I got you. I see.

All right, well, I'm out.

My guy.

Nice to meet you, bro.

Yeah, man.

Boy, big. That's an athlete right there.

Yeah.

I'm going to see you courtside, all
right? Yeah, all right. Cool, bro. I got

break, so I'm going to be courtside.
Yeah, yeah. I'm with you there.

All right.

Oh, my God.

Thank you for that.

It is clear that you're Hayden's college
crush.

It's all good, Miss Lady.

But no, I'm serious. I really want to
tell the guys about you. They could use

somebody like you.

You know, don't be surprised if your
lines start blowing up.

I'll talk to Ms. Barnes and we'll work
something out.

All right. Thank you. You're welcome.

Absolutely.

See you soon.

What? I'm just trying to think what's
going on. He's gone.

Okay?

That was cool.

Now, that's no way to greet your best
cousin, is it? I came to see you.

Well, how'd you get through security?
What kind of place is this?

Hey, I'm a free man now, cuz.

It's been a good, uh, 24 hours since I
walked out of that state -sponsored

Have you even called your mama yet?

No, but I will, though. I just wanted to
come see you first.

What do you want?

Want? Nothing.

Okay, look, I heard you came into some
bread and... There it is.

There it is.

Who told you, huh?

Come on. You know what? It don't even
matter, because it's a no.

Well, hold your boy down.

You already trying to hustle, family.
Wow, you just got out.

Come on, because look, I'm trying to
start fresh, all right?

We know it's expensive to start fresh. I
need new clothes, a haircut.

Jordans. Jordans? Yeah. You need
Jordans.

You need to make sure you don't go back
to prison. Damn, girl, you're looking

thicker than a snake.

Wow.

Oh, see, it's been a minute.

It's been out for ten minutes and you're
already just trying to... Oh, see, stop

hating. Hating?

Oh, Miss Kane.

More inappropriate workplace behavior, I
see.

You better be careful since Tony can no
longer save you.

You threatening my cousin with your
pineapple head ass.

Cousin?

Makes sense.

Unruly behavior must run in your blood.

I'll show you I'm ruling, homie. No, no,
no, no.

Don't even waste your time on him.

This is my snitch co -worker, Lenard.

He built like an office snitch. Sure is.
Hi, I'm Lenard.

It's always disturbing you.

Are you going to call the police?

No, I'm not going to call the police.
Someone help.

Black people are enjoying their lives. I
would like to know why.

It's not because they're black.

It's not because they're black. Oh, it's
not?

This is very nice. This is not what's
appropriate.

That was hilarious.

Now,

can I borrow some?

Please.

Now, you could have led with that.

Come on, see, hold your boy down.

I get 20.

You still doing that same old auntie
shit?

No, no, I want it, I want it, I want it.
You want it? I want it.

Yeah. It's the safest bank in the city,
and that shit smells like Gucci.

I guess so, but you know what? I
appreciate you.

I'm going to hit you up later.

Oh, do you still live in... Goodbye,
Rock.

I love you, cuz.

And I'm going to give it back. I just
don't know when.

Call your mama, heathen.

Lord, I just need to know what I did to
deserve this.

Why is she so hot?

To me?

What am

I

supposed to do?

What do you do when you lose what you
didn't even have?

Come on, boy.

What am I supposed to do?

I'm supposed to just man up. Just man
up.

Man up, Zach. That's what you're only
supposed to do.

Man up.

Man up.

It

can't

work. It's hard for me.

Man.

Man up. Let's go, Taylor.

Let's go.

What are you talking about? You suck.

All you do is pick OKC.

Yeah, yeah.

Wow! I already had one.

Oh, hey, yo, I gotta go. Somebody's
banging on my door.

Yo, yo, relax, man. What are you banging
on my door?

Yo!

What's up?

But knock him further.

Can't protect on your ass. You need a
doorbell. Look at my knuckles.

My bad. I was playing on the game. He's
knocking like the police.

Oh, perfect.

I need lunch.

Help yourself. I'm good.

I wasn't asking.

It ain't the best.

No? Mm -mm. These are cold.

I didn't mean them. I got something to
spark that appetite.

Look, it's you.

You want to share your treat with me?
I'm sharing my treat with you.

Don't get used to it, though.

Because the last time, we almost got
your ass kicked out.

Almost? You changed a lot.

Tomato, tomato.

You deserve it.

Thanks, I do.

Thank you.

Ayo, you showered today?

Or, like, yesterday?

Or, like, this week? This week? That
ain't me.

Okay.

Messed up bad.

I should have just kept it cool with
Karen.

We are not about to blame ourselves for
life -lifing. You did not make Karen

lose the baby.

I feel like I did. I should have just
stopped doing too much.

You done?

Yeah, I'm done.

And another thing, too. I'm tired of
taking losses, yo.

I need a date.

You got every right to be mad.

You do.

You remember that guy Jonah?

Shit changed me.

I was mad at the world.

Thought I had lost everything.

Guess what?

We still here.

You see Fatima?

That's your win.

The baby she's carrying, that's your
chance to get it right.

Start fresh.

Take your moment, but don't get stuck.

Amy, I'm scared.

What if I'm helping you?

I didn't think about perfection.

Teema don't care about that. You done
already messed that up.

Just show up for her.

Show up for the baby. Show up for
yourself.

Think I could do that?

I survived a marriage ultimatum between
me and some country -ass white girl.

He met on some monkey bars.

Tony's ex -wife, his crumb -snatching
gremlin.

And now he go to his job and decide to
be my stay -at -home wife.

Wait. But he ain't wifing.

Wait, wait, wait. The point is, life is
going to do what it do.

Just try.

Shit, it's ghetto anyway.

You're right.

When did you become so kumbaya?

Oh, not kumbaya. I'm being tested right
now.

You're my boy.

And I gotta get you out of that little
rut.

That's what I'm gonna do.

I appreciate you, Danny. I have no idea,
yo.

Yeah, I saw you come in here stress
-eating. What happened?

Tony really... Hey, I don't really need
the judgment right now, okay?

I'm telling you, it's not the weed, it's
you!

I'm April Fresh.

No, it's August Trashay.

Garbage.

Just put her to sleep.

I just need a water.

Your mom just went to the store.

But I do have a case in my car.

At the same time.

I'll be back.

He'll be back in just a second.

I should do something.

Why don't I?

It was supposed to be different.

I'm supposed to be different.

I can't.

What kind of a mother am I?

I'm failing her.

I'm failing myself.

I'm not enough for her.

She deserves better.

I've been investigating a doctor and I
was considering bringing a lawsuit

against him.

Next on, it's the time for you to do
someone else.

Sabrina is officially stepping into her
whole face.

She's acting really strange.

Like, I mean, she's walking around in a
daze and she's doing things she doesn't

normally do.

Man, you good, young man?

I'm fine.

So look, man, not trying to pry, but...

See you.

Something's bothering you.
