Original subtitles

There she is. Let me see them babies.

-I can't do this. -[Maurice] Previously on Sistas.

I do not want to talk about Rich.

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 Doctor Cruise'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?

[upbeat R&B music]

[Rich] 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 get 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.

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... -[Maurice] Oh, girl.

We tried to stop her,

but you know what they say about roaches.

-They're relentless. -And very fast.

Look, look, I had nothing to do with this.

Sabrina, if you would let me just explain.

[frustrated growl]

[indistinct chatter]

Oh, my gosh.

[eerie music] [breathing heavily]

[Jasmine] You ruined my marriage with Gary!

You ruined my children's lives, all so you can jump on the --

Of a married man!

[Andi whimpers anxiously]

[Gary] Hudson, please just shoot me!

- [Gary] I'm the one you want. -[Hudson] No, no, no, no.

[gunshots echo] [Andi whimpers]

Get your shit together. [exhales heavily]

Okay...

"Patient Jennifer Jones, African American, age 27,

"underwent a scheduled caesarean section on December 20th...

"2023.

Procedure completed..."

It's 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 bleeding to death

"and he ignored every sign.'

Lead surgeon: Doctor Brett Cruise."

[suspenseful music]

December 20th?

♪ My girls hold me down ♪

♪ When them boys mess around ♪

♪ When my love life is a headache ♪

♪ We're goin' out tonight ♪

♪ 'Cause I'm lookin' for love ♪

[Sabrina] You showing up here at my job with this bullshit?

-[Rich] Hey, now... -Sabrina, I just want to talk.

Look like she wanted some more of that 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.

[tense music]

Get the -- out now!

Take his ass with you.

-I tried... Move! -[Maurice] Oh, girl, that...

Oh, you left something, bitch!

Seems to be your integrity

and your gag reflex.

[smooth R&B music]

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

corporate job with a 401k and benefits?

Yeah, you heard me right. I quit Higher Airlines.

I am out of here.

-Um... Uh... -Look, you were right, alright?

The long distance thing? It won't work.

[Danni] Mm-hmm.

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

So out of everything 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 is 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 them and get your job back.

It might not be too late.

I mean, did you even put up a fight?

[smooth R&B music]

Some of us have to, uh, 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?

Are you going to lay on your mom's couch, like...

Well, uh, 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... let's celebrate.

Let's talk about our new life over a nice meal

-and some drinks. -Can you even af...

-[Tony] Come? -Okay, yep.

See you at the Steam Plant.

All right... [lips smack]

I'll see you soon, babe. [scoffs] You carrying the boxes.

I don't work here no more.

[upbeat hip hop music]

Damn it, Daniela!

What you done up and done now, girl?

[upbeat music continues] [sighs heavily]

Oh, my God.

This poor child is out of everything.

Yeah, I noticed, but I can go get some groceries for us.

[sighs] You know, I don't know.

She doesn't seem to have much of an appetite.

And she's barely moved.

Has she even come out to see the baby?

Mm... No.

And honestly, I'm a little worried.

[gentle music]

She's shutting down. You know, postpartum is real.

It's...

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.

[gentle music continues]

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

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, uh...

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, uh, listen to her.

-Be here for her. -Yeah...

[exhales] 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.

[sighs] Aaron, I want you to know.

As hard as this is for you, I just want to thank you.

As hard as this is for you, I just want to thank you.

Okay... Seriously...

[Karen] Mama! [door opens]

Mama?

[door shuts]

Hmm... Where is Fatima?

[Robin] Hey, Andi.

I was hoping that I was going

to see you before I left, but, um,

I was just calling because...

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

Because I love you.

And if I, uh, 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.

[gentle music]

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.

-Robin... - [Robin] Please be safe.

[phone beeps] [Andi sighs]

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?

Ah ha, there she is, wicked 'Tima.

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 it hits you right in your face.

Now get out!

[smooth R&B music]

[upbeat hip hop music]

Oh...

-What's up baby? -Hey.

Just calling to check on you.

I'm chillin'.

Well, did you at least eat something?

Yeah, I just had a donut.

No, Zac, we're 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.

[gentle music]

All right, all right. I'm gonna get something to eat.

All right...

I gotta go. I'll call you later, okay?

-[Fatima] I love you. -I love you more.

[upbeat hip hop music]

[cell phone rings]

Hey, Pam.

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

-How's Karen? -[sighs] Not good.

Uh, she's really not herself right now.

I figured as much. You know, I feel so bad.

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

[sighs] I appreciate it. Yeah, it's just that she's...

H... Hold on.

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

-Absolutely not. Oh. -Pam...

So, like I was saying, don't worry about things over here.

I'ma hold it down on my end.

And you just do whatever you do, pray or whatever.

My girl is strong. She's gonna come around.

I hope so, and thanks, Pam.

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

Hold on... Miss Johnson.

Miss Johnson, your wig ain't on crooked, honey.

It's just the mirror. Aaron, I gotta go.

[gentle music]

Knock, knock.

Oh, 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 sue for malpractice.

And if I can get the hospital to admit negligence,

we'll have them on the ropes.

Okay...

Isn't all this information confidential?

-How are you getting it? -I cut some corners...illegally.

-[Andi] Hey, like you. -Okay.

[laughing]

You know, Andi, it's so crazy

that this is actually a thing with Black women in healthcare.

-I know. -[Fatima scoffs]

I really appreciate you taking it on like this

for both Karen and for Zac.

You know, it's helping me keep busy,

keep my mind off of everything that's happening with me.

Mm-hmm... Andi...

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

[door shuts]

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.

And the more I try, it just feels like it's 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.

Andi, 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 he made Hayden the Big Bad Wolf,

but he did look out for you.

So I guess he gets cool points for that.

[Andi] Mm-hmm!

He had a way of making me feel safe.

Especially with Gary's mind screwing.

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.

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

-This -- giving me PTSD. -Mm, [chuckles]

-tell me about it. -[Fatima] Right.

It's just...

I'm having a hard time controlling my anxiety.

You ever feel that?

-Anxiety? -Yeah.

-Have we met? -[both laughing]

Yes. More than I even talk about.

[Andi] Really?

Andi, sometimes the weight of it all just...

Feels like it's just sitting right here on your chest.

-Exactly. Oh my gosh. -Oh...

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.

Mm...

Andi, it's....

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.

-Yes. -[chuckling]

Um... Hold on. This is the front desk calling.

Hey, Linda. What's going on?

[Linda] Miss Wilson, sorry to bother you.

I tried to call Miss Barnes,

but there's a young man who's asking for some help.

Says he was sent by Marie Willis.

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

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

One second.

Um, that was the front desk

saying that someone's up there that Miss 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.

-[Andi] All right. -Andi, you got this.

-We got this. Thank you, girl. -Of course, of course.

[indistinct chatter]

Good meal?

They got the sauces right for your boy today.

-Mm! -Mm-hmm...

So how are you gonna pay for this?

You know, now that you're unemployed.

What? I'm not broke. 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. Um, so...

I appreciate that very sweet gesture,

but, for real, Um, what's your plan?

You know, you got, like, a year's worth of savings...

uh, or you got a retirement account, some investments, or...

You know, do you think your charm is going to pay the bills?

Can you just, like...

Let's just forget about all of that for,

like, a minute, okay?

This is about freedom.

You know, to do what I want to do.

What your 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 and 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, Danni?

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 and I don't get it.

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

-All right. Okay, I support you. -What?

I sup... I support you.

Okay... Good, good...

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

Nothing's gonna shut me down. I'm like...

I'm like water, you know?

I always find my way back to shore.

It's just that water doesn't have to pay bills, you do.

But you know, you live your best life, boo.

Hey, our best life.

-Our best life. -I'm serious.

Babe, you got to stop worrying, okay?

Join me in this calm.

-Yeah. -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.

Well, you know, you can nibble on the a fry.

You can always eat a fry. That's true.

[indistinct chatter] [phones ringing]

Ms. Barnes, I heard you was out here making moves.

But I didn't know you were so fly.

Um, actually, I'm Fatima Wilson.

I work on Miss Andi Barnes legal team. And you are?

Girl, you know me. Stop playing.

Definitely giving B-boy.

Oh, see, now you capping for sure.

You're rookie pick Kendrick Waters.

Or as fans will 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 wanted to keep my game tight

to come holla at y'all.

She said that?

Well, if Miss Marie sends you, we'll have to take a look.

Come on to the conference room.

-All right. -All right.

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

Look, I'm not gonna 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 gonna leave that up to you hotshot lawyers.

Well, I am a paralegal, not a lawyer just yet.

But I do know a thing or two about business.

And, Miss Mary 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 cosign for nobody, so y'all must be dope.

She surely does not. Let's take a look at this.

So how bad is it?

Well, 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 something at the 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, it's not that.

But they are flashing a lot of money.

But the strings? It's way too many.

Well, folks be fake.

I mean, they're just hyping this up,

like this is my big break.

Yeah. Big break or big trap.

You gonna 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 your team.

Okay, well, you are my team.

Well, technically, I'm just doing a favor.

You would need Miss Barnes to make this official.

-Okay, well, let's do it. -Not so fast.

I... I really think you should talk to your management first.

How about this?

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

Okay, I will talk to Andi,

but for now, this should get you started.

-Okay? -Thank you.

[Fatima] You're welcome.

[smooth music]

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 City.

[smooth hip hop music]

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

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

I just wanted to say, um...

Girl, I don't know what to say, but I love you, okay?

Keep it together, Danni.

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

Yo, Cuz! What's up?

Roc?

Daniela, my favorite cousin.

You looking good in that uniform, girl.

Lookin' like ♪ Money, money, money ♪

Roc, what are you doing here?

[Aaron] 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.

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, right?

Don't forget that.

[Faith fusses]

I'm not meant to be a mother...

Never was.

That's why I couldn't keep her.

[Faith fusses]

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.

There you go, babe.

There you go.

[gentle music]

Karen, I'm here.

You're not broken, Karen.

I'm not going anywhere, okay? You hear me?

I'm gonna be right here.

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

Mommy will get better.

Yo, you mind if I tell the guys about you?

I'm sure they can use somebody like you for real.

[Fatima] You know I'm sure we can work something out.

-I'll talk to Miss Barnes-- -Yo...

My fault.

Is that Kendrick Waters? Oh! My guy! Rookie of the year!

What's up? What? Yeah. What's up man?

-[Kendrick] Hey, bro. -The boy's strong, too!

What's up bro? Oh, my fault.

Damn.

You know, I been following you since college, right?

Since you was dropping 30 at night at ASU. Woo!

Atlanta about to go crazy this year, huh?

Yeah. That's wild. Oh I'm Hayden Moss, by the way.

Let me introduce myself.

-No, no, no, no, no. -[Hayden] I'll stay over here.

-What brings you to my firm? -Your firm?

Fatima dope... I mean, she kind of put me on game on everything.

Dope?

You lying to 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.

[laughing] 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 gonna go anywhere.

Look, K-Dubs, I'm gonna 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.

-[Hayden] Don't let her-- -All right.

Who is here making

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

Auntie Marie,

Fatima been putting me on game on everything with my contract.

I told Andi 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're taking 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 talk, 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?

The only thing she saved around here is some attitude.

[clears throat]

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.

Hey, yeah. I got you, Auntie.

[smooth music]

All right, well, I'm out. My guy, nice to meet you, bro.

-Yeah. Yeah, man. -Oh.

Yeah.

Boy, that's an athlete right there... Yeah!

Hey, I'm gonna see you courtside, all right?

Yeah. All right. Cool, bro.

[Hayden] I got bread, so I'm gonna be courtside.

-[Kendrick] Yeah, yeah. -I'm gonna see 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 line start blowing up.

Well, I will talk to Miss Barnes and we'll work something out.

All right. Bet. Thank you.

-[Fatima] You're welcome. -For real.

Absolutely. All right. See you soon.

[smooth music]

-What? -I'm just trying to see

what's going on.

He's gone. Okay?

-That was cool. That's cool. -[Fatima] Let's go.

[laughing] [smooth music continues]

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 walls.

Have you even called your mama yet?

No, but I will, though.

I just wanted to come see you first.

-What do you want? Huh? -Want? Nothing.

-Okay. -Okay.

Look...

I heard you came into some bread, and I was...

There it is.

There it is. Who told you? Huh?

-Come on. -[Danni] You know what?

It don't even matter 'cause it's a no.

Well, hold your boy down.

You already trying to hustle family?

-Wow. You just got out. -Come on.

Cuz, 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?

-[Roc] Yeah! -You need Jordans?

You need to make sure you don't go back to prison.

Damn, girl, you looking thicker than a Snicker.

[chuckling]

Wow.

It's been a minute.

I've just been out for ten minutes, and you're already...

-Just stop hating. -Hating?

Oh, Miss King.

More inappropriate workplace behavior, I see.

You better be careful,

since Tony can no longer save you.

Yo, you threatening my cousin with your pineapple head ass...

Cousin? Makes sense.

Cousin? Makes sense.

Unruly behavior must run in your blood.

I'll show you unruly, homie.

No, no, no, no, Roc.

Don't even waste your time with him.

This is my snitch coworker, Leonard.

He built like an office snitch. "Hi. I'm Leonard."

Are we 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."

9-1-1 I would like to report a disturbance.

It's not because they're Black. It's not because they're Black.

Oh, it's not what? What?

This isn't very nice!

This is not workplace appropriate.

This is like high school...

That was hilarious. Uh, Cuz...

Now, can I borrow somethin', please?

Now, you could have led with that.

Well, see? Hold your boy down.

I'll give you 20.

You...

You still doing that same old auntie shit.

No, no, I want it, I want it. I want...

-[Danni] You want it? Mm-hmm. -I want it.

Yeah.

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

I guess so. But...

Uh, you know what, I appreciate you.

I'm gonna hit you up later. Oh... Do you still live...

Goodbye, Roc.

I love you, Cuz. And I'm gonna give it back.

-I just don't know when. -[Danni] Mm-hmm.

-Mm-hmm. -Call your mama... heathen.

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

Why is this shit so hard?

Is it me?

What's wrong?

What am I supposed to do?

And what do you do when you lose what you ain't even had?

It's -- gone before I could even say goodbye.

[somber music]

-- am I supposed to do?

Supposed to just -- man up? Just man up.

Man up, Zac, that's what you're always supposed to do.

Just -- man up. No!

[glass clatters]

You can't break, gotta be tough.

Be a -- man. Man up. Let's Go, Taylor.

Let's go.

Let's go, team.

[chair clatters]

It's... [scoffs]

What are you talking about? You suck.

All you do is pick OKC.

Yeah, yeah...

Bow! Oh and one! Mm-mm! [knock on door]

Oh. Hey, yo, I gotta go. Somebody banging on my door.

Yo, yo. Relax, man. You banging on my door!

Yo! What's up?

I've been knocking forever. I came to check on yo ass.

You need a doorbell. Look at my knuckles.

My bad. I was playing on the game.

Yous was knocking like the police.

Oh, perfect. I didn't eat lunch.

-[Zac] Help yourself. I'm good. -I wasn't asking, but ya know.

-It ain't the best. -[Danni] No?

These are cold, --. Why you let me eat them. Hmm?

I got something to spark that appetite.

Look at you.

[upbeat reggae-style music]

-You want to share your tree? -I'm sharing my tree with you.

Don't get used to it, though,

'cause the last time, you almost got your ass kicked out.

Almost? You changed the locks.

To-may-to/To-mah-to, --. You deserve it.

Thanks. I do. Thank you.

Hey, yo. You showered today?

Or, like, yesterday?

-Or, like, this week? -Just the weed. That ain't me.

[Danni] Okay.

I messed up bad.

I should have just kept it cool with Karen.

We are not about to blame ourselves for life lifin'.

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. -'Cause I'm trying--

And another thing, too.

I'm tired of taking -- losses, yo.

I need a -- win.

You got every right to be mad. You do.

You remember that guy, Jonah? That shit changed me.

I was mad at the world, thought I had lost everything.

Guess what? I'm still here.

And 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... Don't get stuck.

Danni, I'm scared.

What if I -- it up again, though?

Who said anything about perfection?

'Tima 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.

I 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 gremlins...

And now he quit his job

and decided to be my stay-at-home wife.

-But he ain't wifing. -Wait? Wait, wait, wait.

The point is, life is gonna do what it do.

Just try. Shit, it's ghetto anyway.

You're right.

When did you become so kumbaya?

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

You're my boy.

And I gotta get you out of that little rut?

It's what I'm gonna do.

I appreciate you, Danni. You have no idea, yo.

Man, I saw you come in here stress eating.

What happened? Tony really -- with you, huh?

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

And I'm telling you, it's not the weed, it's you.

-I'm April fresh. -No, --, it's August Trashé.

Garbahge.

[upbeat music]

I 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.

Yeah, just hang tight. I'll be back.

[Faith crying]

[shushing, whispering] Quiet.

He'll be back in just a second.

-[shushing] -[Faith crying]

[Karen] I should do something.

Why don't I?

It was supposed to be different.

It was supposed to be different.

I'm supposed to be... different.

I can't.

I can't help you.

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'm sorry.

[somber music] [Faith whines]

I've been investigating a doctor,

and I was considering bringing a lawsuit against him.

[Tony] Next on Sistas.

It's time for you to do someone else.

Sabrina is officially stepping into her hoe phase.

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, I'm not trying to pry, but...

seems you are... Something's bothering you.
