All language subtitles for Sistas s09e08 Truth Is

You were an important part of my life. I
have to see you.

I have to hear.

Previously on Sisters.

I broke up with Hayden.

I'm too tired to even care.

This is, uh, Reginald. Reginald Bond, I
hope I'm not disturbing you. For some

reason, I can't seem to get you off my
mind. I have an urgent meeting.

Urgent meeting? This time of night?

Where would he even go? He gotta get you
cleaned up. Over here smelling some

stale -ass buttermilk. Thank you.

I'm Frank.

Frank, give us. If it isn't Richard the
Bitcher.

Yo,

what the f*** is going on, Sabrina?

Who is this clown?

Yo. Excuse me, can you give us a moment?

Pops, you don't want these type of
problems. Go.

All right, listen.

I'll be right over there. All right.
Okay, I'll be right there. All right.

I'll be right there.

What do you want, Rich?

What the hell do you mean what I want?

What the hell is all this?

What, you trying to date your daddy
issues out or something?

It's none of your business.

Okay, that's it.

Oh, you tripping, tripping, huh?

No, I'm not tripping.

I have a date.

She has a date.

Please don't start. A Cosby sweater. I
know that's right.

Please don't start.

Andy.

Hi. Hey.

What are you doing here?

What are you doing here dressed like
this?

Oh, wait a minute. Are you lit? No, no,
no. I'm not lit.

I'm just, you know, getting my sexy
back. Oh, you got it back.

And the outfit is courtesy of Maurice.

Maurice.

That sounds like a setup.

Sabrina, you're not built for the
streets.

Sadly. You know that, right?

Oh, I know.

I know. I'm not built for these streets.

And these men out here are scary.

Yeah, they are.

But, you know, I'm just overplaying the
nice girl.

Because that got me left by a man who
ended up with a white woman and didn't

a word to me. And another man who ends
up screwing his friend's sister.

I'm sorry, what men are we talking
about?

Rich.

Rich and Penelope.

I caught them having sex in the juice
bar.

I cannot stand that bitch.

Me either.

So when did this happen, and why are you
just now telling me? Are you okay?

It was just a lot going on.

With the Karen situation, Gary, I
figured it was just too much. I was

tell you. I'm sorry, Sabrina.

Yeah?

I don't know.

Actually, you know, I'm not sorry.

I'm not sorry. Because good girls never
finish first anymore.

So, I'm getting my sexy back.

That's it. As you should.

But Rich is over there at the bar giving
me the death stare. Do not give him

that attention. He can't help it. He's
an idiot.

He should know it. He really did that to
you.

Me either.

Sabrina, are you going to be here a
while? Are you leaving? Or what's going

Well, actually, I just met a guy.

Sabrina, ready to get out of here?

Yeah.

Andy, this is... Frank.

Frank.

Frank Givens.

Frank Givens, nice to meet you. Frank
Givens is giving me the vibe tonight.

Okay, not too much.

Do you mind just giving us a moment so I
can talk to my friend? Oh, sure thing.

I'll hit up the valet, pull up the car.

Okay.

Why don't you go with Frank?

Oh, he can wait a minute. Do you want to
get a little drink?

Uh, no, no.

Hey, babe.

What's up?

Looks like you have something on your
mind.

What happened?

Nothing.

Okay, well, since you don't want to
talk, I'll tell you about my day.

So we found a new client today.

Really big basketball player.

And guess who was all fangirling over
him?

Good guess.

Hayden's ass.

Acted like he was doing business and
then started going over his stats and

moves he needed to play the next game.
Damn, they had to pry the guy off of

I don't think I've seen him in that
press about anyone since Tamara.

What is going on? You're not even
listening.

Zach?

I'd like to see Karen today.

You should go with Frank. Have some fun.
Get your little groove back with you.

Freak him dress on.

Are you sure? Because you look too good
to be eating alone. I can always join

you. No, it's fine. I just came to grab
some food. And I have to go back to the

office, actually.

Mm -hmm. Okay.

Ms. Workaholic, I'm so proud of you.
Thank you. But please leave your phone

because I might need you for a backup. I
will have my phone on, and you can call

me anytime. Okay. Okay. I love you. All
right. I love you, too. Bye. Oh, don't

do anything I wouldn't do.

What's that?

I've done everything.

Okay. Have fun. Okay. I'll talk to you
later.

Oh, sorry. Excuse me.

Oh.

Well, if it isn't Miss Esquire Andy
Barnes herself.

Now, one thing about her, she gonna find
her a man.

Teach me your ways, Billy Bob.

Well, hopefully this one's not married
this time.

What you know about Andy?

Uh -huh.

Then I can't wait until I send Sabrina
this.

And for your information, Maurice,
you're not the only one with the scoop.

I know it's wrong, but I love these
dropping on the sister circles. They

spill the hottest coffee.

It's tea, bitch.

Oh. Tea. Tea. Sorry. And I loves it.
Yeah. And I drinks it. Mmm.

Slurp it down.

Oh, my God. You're nasty.

Um,

speaking of nasty, didn't your ex rob a
bank?

Oh.

Oh.

Shave?

Well. But yes.

I'm just saying, you know, I think it's
impressive. He steals your heart and

then steals some cash. Quite a man.

And here you are, single and sitting
with my ass.

With a swoop bang.

Another shot, please.

And put it on her tab, okay? She's rich.

Well, I invest. Speaking of rich, look
at her. All right, Phil.

Where's...

Yeah, do I get to him?

Look at him.

We see you see us, sir.

That's good, girl. You did good. Thank
you. And tell your little whore we

the account, too. What a nasty ass.

Oh, my God, we did?

Oh,

sorry. Yeah, we did. And she will
receive a strongly written letter in the

Good, bitch. You're really getting good.
I'm proud of you. Thank you.

Hey, so...

You want to tell me what happened?

She's not in a good place.

I can't even imagine with everything
that's happened.

It's like she was a zombie. Like, she
was there, baby crying.

She just spaced out.

Like, she didn't even hear the baby.

It's heartbreaking.

Did she say anything else?

No, she didn't say nothing.

But you know what? She got Aaron.
Aaron's there. That's his problem. If

being honest, I really don't want to
talk about it no more. No, listen.

I really thank you, Seema. Please, I
don't want to talk about it no more. I'm

good.

No, damn.

No, I didn't.

Look, I'm sorry. That wasn't meant for
you. I just don't have no more energy to

talk about this.

Respectfully.

I just want to enjoy you, too.

Can I just enjoy you, too, please?

Yeah.

We don't have to talk about it right
now.

Thank you. Yeah.

You know, I think I know something that
might cheer you up.

What's that?

It's a surprise.

Well, the team all make surprises. Come
on.

I don't think you're going to like this
one.

All right, go ahead.

Tony?

Baby, you're home.

What you been doing all day?

You know.

Relaxing, vibing, staying blessed.

Mm -hmm.

Job hunting.

Job hunting?

Job hunting. God, no. I've been grinding
since forever, all right? I deserve a

little pause. Forever, Tony.

You're in your 30s.

Exactly. And when I hear it back, that
means I overachieved with the college. I

held my family down. I ran one of the
busiest airports in the country.

I'm good.

So your great crescendo to all of that
is laying on a couch all day?

You know, I've been thinking about that.

What if I got into mentorship?

You know, I can talk to young brothers,
give back a little bit.

It's always good to do charity work.
Yeah.

Or I could pick up a trade, you know,
like woodworking. I could build you a

dining room set or a hookah table.

Ooh, a hookah table.

Tony, you don't own a hammer.

I know.

But see, that's what I got to learn.

Or I could write a book.

You know, like, how to.

I got notes.

It's looking like how to lay on the
couch all day. I don't know what other

you need.

You're being funny, but I am being
serious.

I want to write something enlightening.

You know, like how to manifest your best
life.

Why don't we manifest some dinner?

Oh, yeah? What you going to whip up?

I know you want.

You think I'm going to work all day?

and come home and worry about what we're
eating, and you've been sitting around?

You know what?

I can do that.

How about this? I'll order some wings.

I might even get fancy throwing some
fries.

That's what I benefit.

You want hot lemon pepper or mild?

You know what?

How about this? I'll get the mild and
the hot lemon pepper.

This is easy.

Dinner's served.

Baby, I'm coming.

Hey, baby.

What's wrong?

Are you scared of your hideout?

Eric, can you take us to the living
room, please?

I'm just calming her down.

No, just please take us to the living
room because I can't, okay?

I can't breathe, Eric. Can you take us
to the living room? All right. All

okay.

Let me ask you a question.

What is one thing that you won't
compromise on?

Wow. You're starting pretty heavy. Why
not?

Life is short. Drinks ain't cheap.

Okay.

I will no longer compromise on my
independence.

I've worked really hard to be where I am
and who I am.

And I won't let anyone mess up my flow
anymore.

Respect. Yeah, I get that.

So what are your non -negotiables?

Consistency.

I mean, I am a busy man, but I don't
care how busy we get. If you say you're

about something, be about it. No mixed
signals.

That's impressive.

Coming from a man, mostly women are
concerned about consistency. I mean, I

have time for games.

I love my job. I'm the first person in
my family to graduate, let alone become

doctor.

Just to take my career very seriously. I
don't have it in me for any extra

drama.

Cheers to that.

What about you, Miss Career Woman?

Where do you see yourself in a few
years? Marriage?

Kids?

I would not say kids at all.

And to be honest, I don't even know if I
see marriage in the future either.

I hear that.

You know, it's hard to find someone who
understands that. I've been in

situations where women want the whole
family thing, and it's cool, but... But

it's not for you.

I'm not saying I don't want it. It's
just... It's my schedule.

It's crazy. I'm traveling. I'm working
long hours.

It's like I can't even find time for
myself. I don't want to be a

to my family.

I get that.

And speaking of disappointment, I'm so
sorry. I was late. I was caught up with

some friend stuff, and...

I mean, you know, juggling the work
-life balance.

Late?

That's nothing. I mean, I've had dates
be night and day because I canceled for

last -minute surgery, and I'm like, um,
what do you want me to do? Tell someone

to bleed slower?

Not bleed slower.

They don't get it.

It's not just a 9 -to -5. It's a 24 -7
job.

Exactly. Exactly.

I needed that laugh.

Laughter's the best medicine.

I would know. I'm a doctor.

Okay, that was funnier, actually.

Corny, but really funny.

Oh, I can also take care of my portion
of the bill. I mean, I don't want to

mixed messages.

Oh, no, you're good.

You may be a boss, but I'm still a man.

All right, then.

To being grown.

And real.

That's quite all right, guys.

Psychos? Mm -hmm.

I figured you did this to me when I was
in a funk.

Thought I should return the favor.

So you're just going to take my recipe
like that?

Actually, I put my own twist on it. You
made them want extra love.

I don't really have much of an appetite,
babe.

Thank you, though.

Okay.

I know it'll work. Come here.

Yes.

Oh, wow, you are tense.

Zach.

Okay, all right.

Okay, no, no, this ain't it.

This ain't it.

This ain't it, babe.

I'm sorry. Thank you.

Thank you.

I know what you mean.

Uh -huh.

Yeah.

Say, Nick.

Hey, well, you just want to talk?

I've got much to say.

This is where we should have started.

I haven't drank that much

ever.

Ever, ever.

Told you, you just got to live a little.

Yes, you're right.

I had to live a little.

This one night thing.

I've never done it before.

Uh -huh. Yeah, but, you know, I was
thinking, why not?

Why not?

You just live a little, right? Isn't
that what you said?

I did.

And you just needed the right guy to
help you see that.

Yes, I did.

I can see you, Mr.

Mr.

Frank. Frank. Frank Gibbons. Frank, I
knew that. Oh, you're so handsome.

Frank with the full tank.

Okay, all right, let's get it started
now. Okay, we can start right here.

Oh, so what's your vibe usually?

Do you like it slow?

And steady?

Or do you like to just, like, go for it,
get into it?

Well, I'm a man of mystery, but you, I
can go either way.

So do women usually ask you these kind
of questions?

Nah, only the real ones like you.

Oh, I'm real.

I'm real. Wait, is your hair real?

Excuse me?

No.

Were you not raised to not touch a black
woman's hair?

No, baby, I'm just saying, your hair is
fire.

I'm just trying to get a, you know,
sense of what's real. I mean, what's

You know, and if I can pull it. Excuse?

I thought you might be into that. Oh.

Uh, excuse me.

Okay.

One second.

Oh, and this is my hamster.

And that's the gerbil I had when I was
in Texas. Sabrina called him, girl. The

Sabrina bitch.

You called him from the meat market.

Maurice, I think I made a mistake.

I think I made a mistake, okay? He just
asked me if my hair is real.

Red flag. I'm white, and I know that you
can't do that.

And then he tried to pull it.

Oh, girl, pull? You should have started
with that. I'll never pull a point.

Yeah, well, I was trying to talk to him.
Talk?

Girl, are you trying to do a TED Talk?
You trying to get railed from behind.

Okay, but how am I supposed to know if
he's into it or not?

Girl, it ain't got nothing to do with
nothing. Go in there, get yours, and get

out. He's old. He may not live long.

He's knocking.

He's knocking.

Why is he knocking?

Girl, you better take your ass out there
and let that man give you all the

great. You got it?

Fine. Okay, okay.

I'll be right out.

And don't call back.

Okay. Good news. My brother Dylan is
going to come meet us.

He's amazing. You're going to love him.
And he's recently single, and he really

needs a fun night out.

Brother Dylan?

Mm -mm.

I'd admit my white quota for life.

No. We fool. No, no, no. Maurice, he's
really cool. You're going to like him.

Really cool?

Mm -hmm. Don't tell me your brother one
of them woke white boys.

I swear to God, if he come into my room,
yo, what's good?

I'm going to beat his ass on a one and
three and sing We Shall Overcome. You

know that one?

I don't.

But I promise he's cool.

Cool. Now, please.

That ain't who I think it is.

Hey, girl.

If it isn't the CEO of Roots and
Bitches.

That ain't what she was saying when you
used it for... Uh -uh.

Not my personal business in front of my
friends and family and fans and folks

here at his establishment.

What you doing here, Maurice?

Carrying on.

Having fun.

Maybe a threesome later.

Oh, God. You know me.

I know what you're here to do, nasty.

Oh, yeah, you and the bartender. Y 'all
getting ready to bang it.

I'm doing no such thing.

I'm young, but I wasn't born yesterday.

Since you have it with him, tell him
that me and the white girl will be

more drinks and some lemon pepper wings.

I'm young. Yeah, Maureen.

Not yet, but you feel it.

You expecting someone?

I was going to tell you, but... Uh,

tell me what, Zach?

Heaven. Hi.

Come in. Thank you.

Um, who is this?

This is Heaven.

She's a midwife.

A midwife?

Yeah. It's a pleasure to meet you,
Fatima.

I'm sorry, but who is she here for?
Because I know she ain't here for me.

You are Fatima, right?

Yes, she is.

I will see. Thank you.

Zach, are you serious? You hired a
midwife without asking her? I didn't

anyone. She's just here for a
consultation.

A consultation?

Zach, you should have consulted with me
first. Ma 'am, I am so sorry you came

all this way so late.

You can go. I get it. I get it. I
understand it's a big decision.

And I'm not here to make it for you.

Okay, my job is simple.

To help you both bring a beautiful,
healthy baby into the world. And however

do that, that is your call.

You see, she's here to help.

Okay. Ouch.

First things first.

Congratulations.

A baby on the way is a blessing.

Okay, and I know it feels like a lot.

I know. Yeah.

Thanks.

Well, let's start simple.

Do you have any specific birthing
preferences?

Um, it's just my first trimester. I
haven't even really thought that far.

Fair enough.

Fair enough.

Are you opposed to having a midwife?

Actually, I want a hospital birth with
my black female doctor that I trust.

Okay. And an epidural.

Epidural? Yes. It's pain management,
Zach.

Hospitals with epidurals are very
common, but there are other options,

There's birthing centers, home births,
water births. Water births? See, water

births. I like that.

Yeah. Exactly. It's gentle on the baby
and easy on the body.

See? Gentle and easy.

Yeah, I'm not doing that, Zach. Look.

It's okay. It's not for everyone. I am
here to provide you the information to

let you know whatever you want to do is
okay.

All right?

Let me ask you a couple questions.

So, any miscarriages, complications,
anything like that?

No. No.

No miscarriages or pregnancies.

That's good to know. And there's no...

health issues at all, right?

None. I actually have a ticket with my
OB tomorrow.

OB? Yeah. We're not doing that.

So the water birth thing, is that like
the baby just swim out? No, not exactly.

The water helps ease the labor pains and
the baby's born into the water. The

baby's used to it from being in the
womb, the water, and it's just a really

smooth transition.

See, it's a smooth transition. You don't
like that?

Honestly, I just feel like this is too
much to some.

At the end of the day, the goal is to
have a healthy baby and a safe delivery.

And how we do that, that's up to y 'all.

Exactly. Healthy baby and a safe
delivery at home.

Exactly. I'm here for you.

So we're going to talk about this later.

You know, Karen, I gotta tell you,
hearing you call our daughter the baby

bothers me.

Okay?

This is our daughter.

She has a name.

Right? She's not something.

I know.

This... All this ain't easy for me,
Aaron. I'm sorry.

I know it's not.

Alright, but I just want to make sure
that you see that she's ours.

Our child.

I know, I'm just... I'm scared.

I don't want to make any more mistakes.
I can't.

Karen.

I can understand that.

And I'm here.

Karen, what happened at the hospital was
not your fault.

All right, we're going to get through
this.

You, me, and Faith together.

Okay?

Two truths and a lie.

Oh, hell no. I am not playing that game.

Come on, come on, come on. Just go with
it. Don't overthink it.

Okay.

Hit me.

Me? Yeah.

Okay.

I delivered a baby in an elevator.

I play sax.

And I've only dated white women.

Okay. It has to be the I've only dated
white women. That has to be the one.

That's the truth.

So you're telling me you've never dated
a black woman? Look, med school wasn't

diverse. Residency wasn't much better.
It's not like I wanted to do it that

It's just how it happened.

And was that your only reason?

I think sometimes black women see a
brother in a white coat and they think

either too much or banging a nurse.

So are you insinuating that we don't
love our black doctor?

All right.

Maybe I haven't looked hard enough.

But I am sitting here with you.

I mean, come on. I love my black woman.

That's great.

Prove it.

I need your help.

With what?

I am building a case against the
hospital, and Dr. Cruz is my first

I'm sorry. What? So you brought me here
and got me loose to drop this on me?

Are you serious?

I'm dead serious.

So?

Just give me a minute.

It's been a lot of minutes.

I mean, you promised me a tank, but it's
empty.

No, you don't.

What?

You're not helping. I'm just saying it's
giving gummy worms.

What?

What? Do you, like, need a candle or
something?

Maybe from the H -Town?

What's the issue?

I don't know. Maybe you could, you know,
use those lips.

Yeah, no.

Okay? I'm not doing that.

Figure out something else.

Come on, Sabrina.

Brother, help.

Help a brother out?

Sir, this isn't a group project.

Fix it.

I don't know. Use your imagination, your
hand.

One thing. I tried that.

Listen, it's not me.

All right, I... It's a dress.

It's a dress.

I'm between jobs.

Being forced into early retirement, but
I don't want to talk about that either.

It could be the alcohol too. The alcohol
now?

They were strong.

I wish something else was strong.

Wait, I have an idea.

Yeah?

Nova?

What do you do when your little friend
can't clock in?

I'm sorry, I don't have the answer for
that.

Nova, what do you do if you can't get it
up?

Did you really just ask your device how
to get me hard?

What?

Something has to be wrong.

It's clearly not me.

It's not you, but that's disrespectful.

I'm just trying to help, Frank.

Maybe I just need... I need just a rest,
you know?

Some time, you know, a nap.

Would you like me to add erectile
dysfunction remedies to your shopping

No, Nova.

Nova, cancel.

That's a bad idea.

Do you need help with that, too?

I told you what I needed help with.

Would you like me to recommend a man
with proper blood flow?

There.

I blocked Grayson's ass on everything.

The nerve of him to break up with me via
text.

Text? Oh, my God, how rude.

Talk about, I'm too much for him.

Well, look, I can't help it that I'm
everything.

Yeah, I mean, my ex always wanted me to
be his therapist. He was always like,

hey, we need to talk. And I was like,
don't you have friends for that?

I'm not even mad, okay?

I will survive.

Yeah. Yeah.

And another thing, these men are going
to learn how to treat me.

Oh, yeah. I'm not domesticated anymore.

Yeah. Yeah. No more being the nice girl.
The good girl.

Yeah. Yeah. Cheers to that.

Cheers to that. To the game.

Yes. You bet.

Yes.

One thing about me is I'm not slowing up
for a single slow. No, and you

shouldn't. You should remain. Thank you.
Thank you. Dylan.

Hi.

What's up, sis?

Hi. You shaved the muck down. Oh, the
best for you.

Oh, you're getting good. You're getting
good.

Who's this?

Maurice. Yeah.

Well, very nice to meet you, Maurice.

Yeah, that's my pleasure.

Let me see about that.

What you drinking?

Oh, well, I was drinking white.

So why stop now?

Good choice.

This is pink.

One more thing.

If just in case there are any
complications, we would have to go to

hospital. No, we're not doing a
hospital. We did that already. We're not

that. We're good.

Okay.

Okay. What?

Just stay healthy.

Okay. No stress.

That's the key.

All right. Thank you for coming. Of
course. Thank you.

Thank you. Travel safe.

What is the problem?

So you really did that, huh?

Did what? It was just a consultation.

Zach, you should have asked me first.

Are you serious?

I'm not doing the hospital. The hospital
failed us, and I'm not going through

that with you. Period.

Zach, I get that, okay?

But I'm the one carrying this child. I
have to do what's right for me.

Okay, I hear you. It's your body, but
it's our child. I get saying this too.

Zach, I'm not saying that you don't.

Okay. But I'm the one carrying this
baby. I'm the one going through it.

Okay, so then what if something goes
wrong? Then what?

Then we will cross that bridge and we'll
get there.

But Zach, I need you to respect my
decision, okay? And back off.

Fine.

We're going to talk about this later,
though. No, we're not.

Tell me more about Dr. Cruz. Okay, so
you came here to talk about this? I

I thought we came here to have drinks,
get to know each other. Now you're

talking about Dr. Cruz?

Okay, this can't be the first time he's
done this.

It's not, but I don't see how I fit into
this. Well, you stood up for Karen.

That mattered. It was important.

Yes, and it's already cost me.

Crossing Dr.

Cruz has put me on the board's radar,
okay? And now I have a meeting with them

next week to answer for it.

Okay, I understand. I am not trying to
get you fired. Look, this isn't just

about my job. It's the whole system,
Andy.

Exactly. And that's why I need your
help. Okay, but I would like to not lose

entire career in the process.

Reginald. Yes?

Do you know how many black and brown
women have been losing for decades?

You just won't let up, will you?

I can't.

So, you're in a banking with my sister,
huh? Yeah, we are work besties. You can

practically write a sitcom about us.

Yeah, pays the bills, keeps the lights
on.

You know what's so weird? You don't seem
like the type to be behind a desk,

though. You know, I imagine you're like
on stage, lighting it up.

You know, I hear that all the time.

There was this one instance where I was
to perform with Beyonce.

The blue rabbit looked better in the
costume.

Oh, my God, Maurice, you told me that
you know Queen Bey.

Oh, yeah, girl, we go way back. I know a
cousin.

Enough about me and Bea.

You, the career?

Mm -hmm. What about it? Tell me. Well,
you know, you know, work is work.

But I love what I do. I just came back
from a food pop -up in L .A. last week.

Yeah, big crowd, great vibes.

A chef?

Mm -hmm.

Okay, so tell me, do you make avocado
toast?

Um, tsunami.

That's so funny.

More like full brisket and mac and
cheese. You know the kind that makes you

to slap your mama ass for seconds?

Whoa. My mama.

Uh -huh.

You better shut up.

Or else.

So, you guys want to get one more drink?
Or you want to take us party somewhere

else? Or do you just want to...

Continue to ignore me and treat me like
I'm completely invisible.

Excuse me, bartender.

Can I have one more?

Light on the ice, heavy on the pity.

Oh, you didn't think that was funny?
Okay, yeah, well, I'll work on it.

You know, I'm just trying to get into
their conversation, but they won't let

You ever talk to somebody and they just
completely ignore you?

Yeah, you know what I mean.

Like Casper, the freaking Casper.

Now, Duncan.

Well, looky there.

Things like Paige got a little jungle
fever.

Well, it looks like it's warming out for
both of us.

I need to talk to somebody.

Hey, girl, what's up?

Hey, um, you busy?

Yeah, no, I'm all yours.

Um, promise me you won't say anything.

Do I ever?

No, you don't, and I appreciate that.

Look, I...

I know you and Zach are close.

Girl, I hate that. What do you do now?
What's up?

When y 'all talked the other day, what
happened?

How was he acting?

I mean, definitely in his feelings, but
when I left, he was fine.

What's going on?

I know he's dealing with a lot, and I
don't want to disregard his feelings.

You know what? Never mind.

I'm being insensitive.

What happened, Fatima?

It's nothing major. He's just off.

Girl, you got to be specific. I don't
speak vague.

Just tell me what it is. You know I'm
not going to say anything.

I don't know. It's like this push and
pull with him.

One minute he's being vulnerable, and
then the next minute he doesn't want to

talk about his feelings.

Oh, so now he's in full -on leave -me
-alone mode?

Yeah, and now he's acting weird about
our baby, talking about he wants to have

water birth.

A water birth?

Yeah. Somebody got time to be pushing
out a baby in a lake? What?

Exactly. I wouldn't take it personally,
girl. You know he loves you, but woman

to woman, you've been putting up with a
lot lately.

Yeah. That's not exactly what I signed
up for, but here we are.

I know everyone's been focused on, you
know, Zach and Karen, but how are you

holding up?

I'm holding up.

Fatima, you are carrying a whole ass
human and dealing with Zach's drama.

How are you?

I can't even process what I'm feeling
right now. I'm just... I'm good. I'll be

fine.

Sounds like somebody who's not fine.

But I'm... I'm just suppressing the
negativity, you know?

Suppress? Girl, why do black women
always have to suppress our emotions?

It's not healthy. Let it out.

Yeah, I know.

Danny,

Can I be honest with you?

It's the only way to be.

I feel like shit for even thinking this,
let alone saying it out loud.

Go on.

I hate that Karen lost the baby.

Danny, I wouldn't wish that on anybody.

I wouldn't.

But part of me was relieved when...

Or the film where it was X.

I don't like children.

This could be my life.

Necton Systems.

The Dr.

Cruz has been putting his patients at
risk for years.

I thought I had lost you that night.

And I'm going to get justice for you.
What you got planned today?

Still riding the relaxation train? If
you want, I could set up an interview

outside Fred.

What if you want to compare me to
homeless people? It's the gateway drug.

You and I could get into a lot of
trouble with you practicing law without

licensed. You understand?

You ain't got to worry about that.

I got her back now.
