To Amanda!

[cheers]

Hey, y'all.

Here's what you missed
on the Chicken Sisters.

[grunts]

Did you bring
the divorce papers?

Ah, I do believe I forgot them.

Since you and Frank Jr.
separated,

you haven't been on one date.

What makes you think
I even want to go on a date?

Got an important question
to ask you.

The important question, maybe.

Will you just tell me yourself,
then, who my daddy is.

No.

Why not?

Is there something wrong
with him?

♪

[rooster crows]

[Narrator] Amanda Moore used to
live life out loud.

She was smart, funny
and creative and free.

She was sunnier than a girl
in a face wash commercial.

[cork pops]

Oh!

Woo! [laughing]

Apple juice for them.
Here you go.

[indistinct chatter]

♪ Into place I never knew ♪
-Okay. Apple juice.

[Narrator] And she brought
all that sparkle with her

when she married Frank Jr.

♪ I want to feel reality ♪

All right, Boyd!

How are you settling in?

Got a couple boxes unpacked.

This is my wife.

Howdy, wife.

Hey...

[Narrator] But the more
time passed, she felt
less like herself

and more like she was eclipsed
by her husband.

What'cha doing?

Sorry, babe.
I need room for my keezers.

♪ When did this all
go so wrong? ♪

[Narrator] Then her
little sweet potato,

Frankie came along

and she felt a tiny beam
of sunshine.

She felt smart again.

She felt creative again.

♪ I want a change ♪

♪ I want to find... ♪

[Narrator] She wasn't living
totally in the shadows anymore.

But a little part of her
was still hiding

in the darkness.

Until last year, when an
unexpected moment came along

and parted all the clouds.

Yessiree.

She shone bright as a diamond.

But for the people
not in the know,

it was like watching
the explosion of a supernova.

[faucet running]

Frankie?

Good morning.

Aw.

That's sweet.

Mr. Breakfast thought
that you could use

some cheering up.

Try not to kiss him.

Ha-ha-ha.

-That was a very romantic kiss.
-That was a long time ago

and I don't even think about
Sergio in that way anymore.

Sure.

[Narrator] Amanda's head was
spinning.

She knew there was only one way
to deal with her past

sneaking up and biting her
in the rear.

I have to move away, don't I?

Please don't do that.

I've been borrowing a lot
of your clothes lately.

Long jean skirts
have really grown on me.

Oh, don't pay anyone no mind,
do you hear me?

Why didn't Sabrina tell us
about the cameras?

She wanted to.

She was just doing her job.

Her job is mean.

I think that's why she quit.

She wanted to apologize,

but you were running
after Frankie.

Who is not happy with me,
by the way.

She didn't speak one word to me
in the car on the way home,

and then she beelined it
to her room

and slammed the door.

[door opening]

[Shawna] Hey y'all.

Did somebody die?

Nothing else at the flower shop
said "sorry a secret camera

"recorded you kissing the cook".

That is an oversimplification
of a very complicated situation.

No, I- I- get it.

You saw no way out
of your miserable life

until Sergio walked
into your world,

glistening in that
white t-shirt.

Such a handsome, capable man.

Okay, Shawna, just...

Message received.

Okay.

I really don't want to go
out there and face anybody.

The way I acted.

Who was that person?

I hear you, girl.

They showed me in my leggings

and my seams
weren't even lined up.

That's right.

Wonky leggings and my sister
being humiliated

on a national scale...
are the same.

Thank you.

You want to know the worst part
about it is

I heard about it at
the same time as everyone else.

My reputation
as the Queen of Gossip

is really going to take a hit.

Shawna, will you cover
for me today?

Of course.

I just have to stop by
The Cluckery on my way.

No, please don't do that.

I just want to see
what they're cooking up.

You know, it might be helpful to
know what they're getting up to.

No!

Frank Jr. did not know
about me and Sergio.

And I'm sure he's just
spitting bees right about now.

Good.

After the way he treated
all y'all,

I hope they're coming out
of both ends.

[sigh]

I just want to crawl in a hole
and never come out!

You know how this town gets
when there's a scandal.

[sigh]

Especially when it involves
a Mimi's girl.

[voicemail] It's Frank Jr.
You know what to do.

[voicemail beeping]

Hi, Little Frank.

Yeah, it's your mama calling.

I was just thinking about you.

I don't know if you saw
the episode last night.

What am I saying?
Of course you did.

I just...

I wanted to talk
to you about it.

I love you, honey.

Bye.

No, sir.

We are not going to live
in a podunk town.

Not if I have anything
to say about it.

No, sir!

You will submit!

Hey.

[knocking]

If it isn't the man
of the hour.

You know, franchise inquiries
went up 30 percent

after the airing
last night.

Hey, uh, part of my judgment,
Frank Jr.

but you're putting off some...
serious beta vibes this morning.

Oh, I didn't get much sleep
last night.

[sniff]

[crying]

Hey, hey, hey.

Let it out.

[crying]

Oh, but also,

hold it in with, you know,
franchise agreement

has that strict
no emotions clause.

I'm getting emotional.

I say this with empathy.

As your your business friend
and your masculinity coach,

you're gonna scare
the customers, so...

Go home.

[crying]

Oh.

Mayor Carson?

Nancy, you need to make
an appointment!

This town is on the precipice
of a major disaster

because of that dang
broken train arm.

And you're not doing
anything about it.

I cannot stand idly by
and say nothing.

Oh, I think you're...
you're real good

at seeing a problem
and saying nothing, Nancy.

It doesn't matter what's
happening in my personal life,

even if it's in front of
millions of people.

That thing's been stuck
for years!

I am a taxpayer,
and I want it fixed.

You want it fixed
or you want a distraction

from your own problems?

Oh, I've seen it before.

You know Big Tim,
when he lost his golden lab,

instead of mourning his loss,

he was pestering me
about burying the power lines.

Doesn't it bother you that
people are thinking of Merinac

as a big old mess
of a small town

because of Kitchen Clash?

And whose fault is it
that they would know

about any of our business
in the first place?

Now, if you'll excuse me,
I've got a ribbon cutting

at the new gas station
that I'm late for.

Well, you're not getting
your key back.

[Narrator] Nobody knows what it
feels like when a Mimi's girl

flies a little too close
to the sun, like Augusta Moore.

[phone ringing]

Hello?

I heard you're not
coming in today.

Mama, I'm not feeling great.

I don't need
to hear any excuses.

Yes, ma'am.

[sigh]

Because I understand.

You do?

[chuckle]

More than you know.

Thank you, mama.

You want me to come over,
bring you lunch?

No, I got leftovers.

Whose recipe?

Yours.

All right.

I reckon you'll live.

I love you, too.

Okay.

Bye, now.

You hungry?

I can heat something up for you.

I would really like to talk
to you about last night.

Oh.

Everybody's gonna be talking
about last night.

Delilah's going to go on
about how funny it was

watching her Uncle Rodney
spitting out his tea.

How sweet it was to see Magnolia
eat Mimi's for the first time.

And I have to talk about
how my mama kissed Sergio.

[door slams]

[rooster crows]

Morning.

Thank you.

How's your sister?

She's in self-imposed exile.

I feel terrible.

She's gonna be fine.

[clears throat]

Is this...?

The wedding binder of famous
organizing expert, Mae Moore?

[gasp]

Your wedding
is in less than a month.

This is a mess, babe.

It's not that bad.

Okay, it's awful.

I have the bachelorette planned

down to the smallest
detail, okay?

I know how to plan a party.

It's just weddings,
I'm out of my depth.

That's impossible.

You think through
every scenario.

Weddings are my blind spot.

It's literally the thing
every woman starts planning

as soon as they know
it's going to be a thing.

Well, not me, okay?

I grew up thinking
I would never get married.

Why would you think that?

[Narrator] The Mimi's curse,
that's why.

Unlike honey to a bear's paw,

a man never stuck
to a Mimi's girl.

[sigh]

When you grow up thinking
that no one's going to stay,

you don't plan
for what's next if they do.

But Jay is here to stay.

Hon, you found a wonderful guy
who thinks you hung the moon.

He thinks your personality flaws
are charming.

I don't have any
personality flaws.

That's what someone with
personality flaws would say.

Okay, let's take a looksie.

Oh, okay.

There is music, no flowers,
no tent has been rented,

no cake.

I... I... I...

Okay. What does your dress
look like?

I don't have one.

Mae, a wedding is a series
of military grade maneuvers.

You can't just wing it!

I don't know where to start.

Oh.

I moved to New York City
with $300 and an accent

that screamed hee-haw.

Do you know how impossible
that was?

I should be able to do this,
okay?

There are dogs that can ride
skateboards,

and I can't even plan
my own wedding.

Okay, okay.

I am gonna help you.

I am absolutely built
for this kind of madness.

I mean, I used to produce
reality TV.

In fact, I once built
my own camera tripod

out of fishing rods.

I'm up for the challenge.

Are you sure?

I got you, babe.

Don't worry.

[Patrick] What can I get you,
Shawna?

One latte.

Half oat, half almond,

one pump vanilla,
one pump caramel.

Barely touch the pump
for cinnamon

and whipped cream at the bottom!

Okay, I'll have it out
in three hours.

Mm-hm.

Shawna, could I have
your autograph?

[chuckling]
As soon as I get my headshots.

Absolutely.

You got a lot of air time.

I know, and I would have
gotten more

if Sabrina hadn't given me
wrong locations.

Aw.

Oh, Sergio.

Will you tell Gus

I'm gonna fill
in for Amanda today?

Oh, she's not coming in?

No, she's kinda having
a hard time.

You know, with that thing
that you two did together

with your faces.

I was there, I was there.

Yeah.

Is she okay?

I can't lie.

She's doing that thing,
you know,

where she just kind of stares
into the middle distance.

I should go over there.

No. No.
Just let her be.

You know, she doesn't want
to see anyone.

[Narrator] Frankie might want
to be an actress,

but this was not
the kind of spotlight

she took kindly to.

And for that reason,
this budding thespian

decided to call a dark day.

[Nancy] Beau?

Beau?

Beau, are you here?

Beau?

Oh, hey.

Sorry, Nancy.

It has been a busy morning.

Yeah, prayer requests
have been flying in

since last night.

Well, could you pencil me in
right now?

Yeah, sure.

I just don't understand

how they could do us dirty
like that.

The way they chopped it up.

Bits of this and bits of that.

The thing had more odds
and ends than a ham hock stew.

And I shouldn't feel bad
about not getting involved

in Frank Jr. and Amanda's
business.

I mean, it wasn't my place
to say anything.

Right?

Well...

What?

Well, just put yourself
in his position.

You know...

would you want someone to keep
something like this from you?

As your pastor,
I say if you know something

that could hurt your son,

it's probably best
that you tell him.

Yeah.

But as your boyfriend,

I'd say you just did
what you thought was right.

I like the boyfriend
advice best.

Also, as your boyfriend,

I got something important
to ask you.

Before you do,

I want to tell you something.

I have enjoyed our
time together.

You make me very happy.

But I'm not ready to put a ring
on this finger.

Huh?

I'm not ready to get married
right now.

Married?

Yeah.

Oh!

Oh, no.

It's not what I was going
to ask you.

Oh, I thought
because you said...

Gosh, I don't have enough
sense to spit downwind.

Oh my, I am so embarrassed.

Oh, dear.

Well now, don't be embarrassed.

What I want to ask you is
I want you to go away

on a trip with me.

Oh, like a vacation?

Ha, kinda, yeah.

Yeah, we'd be building homes
for folks

that need a helping hand.

Oh, that sounds lovely. I...

It would have
some downtime, too.

So, you know, we could go
on some adventures.

You want me there with you?

It's been some time
for me,

since I felt this way
about anybody.

I think about being away
from you is...

Well, I don't even want to think
about how hard it would be

to not be next to you
for months.

Months?

That's a long time.

I have to admit,
I'm flattered

that you'd want me
with you, but...

I have responsibilities here.

Well, I mean, the way I see it,

you got a lot of people
helping you here now.

[Narrator] Nancy hadn't taken
a moment to soak in that

for the first time,

she had all the help she
needed, with some to spare.

Well... it's funny.

I've never even been
on an airplane before.

So, you'll come?

Hello, Shawna.

Hello, Christian.

I saw the episode last night.

You are as beautiful in person
as you are in HD.

Oh.

Well, I thought it was high time
I came and tried your chicken.

Oh, yes.

The best fried chicken
this side of the Mississippi

and the other side
of the Mississippi.

Mr. Chicken is franchised
in 37 states.

Why not 50?

[laughing]

Touché.

Well, I can see
that you're not open,

so I'll come back
another time.

No, no, no, no, no, no, please.

I love having you all to myself.

[chuckle]

[clears throat]

Frank Jr. here?

Things got a little
intense last night.

He hasn't yet
completed my course

in emotional wall-building
to better serve your enterprise.

You got any menus?

Placemat.

Classy.

I'll have a leg
and a thigh plate.

Side mac and cheese.

Woman who knows what she wants.

Oh, you better believe it.

Okay.

[phone camera clicking]

[chuckling]

[camera clicking]

Uh, oh yeah.

Oh.

[whistling]

Well.

It takes a full 15 minutes
to fry a chicken.

Well, we're always at the
ready here at The Cluckery.

[laugh]

These are the signature
dipping sauces.

Might I suggest starting
with the Seven-Alarm Sayonara.

Oh, I think I'll just start
with the chicken,

if it's all the same to you.

[Narrator] When you bite
through that flavorful, crunch,

golden outside into a tender,
juicy, high-quality drumstick,

it should change your life.

But this chicken,
on the other hand,

Shawna wouldn't serve
this under-salted disaster

to her worst enemy, Linda.

She knows what she did.

What you'd season it with?

The Cluckery isn't about
the seasoning.

As I mentioned,
it's about the sauces.

You should change y'all's name
to Mr. Sauces, then.

[laughing]

That's... that's good.

Why don't you
take yourself out, too.

Like, on a date?

Or are you talking about
the dumpster?

You've got some nerve
sticking around here

after what you did.

[sigh]

Nothing's going on, Frank Jr.

Not anymore.

You really expect me
to believe that?

I saw the way she kissed you.

It doesn't matter.

Listen...

I've been in your
position before,

and I'm not proud of myself.

It was wrong, I was wrong.

You haven't seen the last of me.

Yep. It's a small town.

Ulgh!

Shawna, I don't want
this trash in here.

Trash? You think that's trash?

You think a woman being rescued
by a cowboy on a horse

in the middle of the Atlantic
is trash?

You think a woman
who's pretending to be

her own twin sister
in order to inherit

her family's gold mine,
is trash?

A woman who single-handedly
takes down train bandits

in order to save an entire
locomotive of orphans is trash?

Yes.

[scoff]

You know what
my fantasy is, Shawna?

A waitress who shows up
for work on time.

I was late because I was doing
corporate espionage

at The Cluckery

And?

The chicken
wasn't even seasoned.

Oh.

And the mac and cheese
was like chewing

on a melted Barbie leg.

Oh that man,

he can't do anything without
a woman doing it for him.

Mm-hm.

[phone ringing]

Chicken Sisters.
What'll you have?

[man] Hello. Can I place
a to-go order, please?

Yeah, go ahead.

I'll have a Caesar salad.

[man laughing hysterically]

We don't serve Caesar salad.

This is...

Ugh, that is like, the 10th time
I've had a call like that today.

What in the Sam Hill
is going on?

Incredible, isn't it?

No. What are you talking about?

You know, your catchphrase,
the, uh...

If I want to be an actress,
I'd dye my hair blond

and start eating Caesar salad.

[laughing]

Wh... why is that funny?

[laughing]

Oh, because Caesar salads
are a very normal food,

and you have an insane
take on it.

People have really
latched on to it.

Now you're a viral sensation.

So, people are laughing at me?

No, they're not.

I mean, yeah, they are,
but it's good.

Tell me something, Shawna.

Do you like it
when people laugh at you?

No, ma'am.

So then why am I supposed
to like it?

Just because they're... they're
strangers on the internet?

Does that make it different
from... from people

pointing at me and laughing?

[phone ringing]

I'm done with this.

Okay.

[thud]

[sigh]

[door opening]

Frankie? Is that you?

You can't just let yourself in.

Oh, you're really still gonna
pretend I'm the bad guy here?

I know you're mad.

Hey.

I know I might not have been
a perfect husband,

but not once
in all our years together

did I ever do something
like that.

[Narrator] Even if the person
shining a light

on your less than
distinguished moments

is somebody
who did you real wrong,

ain't no never mind, y'all.

There's only one
right thing to say...

I'm sorry.

And there was only
one thing Frank Jr.
could say in response.

Don't hold your breath
for those signed divorce papers.

I know you're upset,
but please don't be petty.

It's not petty.

It's justified.

[Narrator] Now, this seems
harsh.

And it is.

Hurt people hurt people.

But Frank Jr. had a weak hand
and only one card to play.

A two of broken hearts.

[sigh]

All right, hit me with it.

I know you want to yell at me.

Oh, zip it, Romeo.

[sigh]

Now, let's just get
one thing clear.

I'm not mad at you.

You're not?

Well, it got that ding-a-ling,

Frank Jr. out of her life,
didn't it?

That wasn't the way to do it,
you know.

We could have handled
ourselves better.

Falling in love
makes you do dumb things.

It's why I don't do it.

[stammering]

Okay, listen.

Love...

I don't know if I--

All right, that's enough.

heard...

Where's the phone?

Well, kind of
got itself disconnected.

So the white ranunculus
is giving...

Carolyn Bessette-Kennedy.

Yes. Garnet velvet ribbon
as an accent or linen.

Hm?

What's your instinct?

Velvet?

This is--

Proof that Shark Tank
should have given me

the sixth judge's seat?

Yes, I know.

I was gonna say
this is the dream wedding

I never knew I wanted.

[laughing]

Let's take a look
at this seating chart.

This is very delicate business.

We cannot seat feuding
family members together

and have an open bar.

Who is this?

Who's who?

This seat next to Gus
marked "Unknown".

That's nothing.
You can just skip that.

It's my dad.

He doesn't have a name?

No, presumably he does.

I don't know it.

That is what he's listed
as on my birth certificate.

Oh.

So this man, you don't know,

you put him down
on your seating chart?

Yes, it's a perfectly
normal thing

for a perfectly normal person
to do.

Because maybe
you want him to come?

It's just a fantasy.

So, the cake tiers...

We should make that happen.

Cake tiers? I agree.

No. Your dad.

No, it's never
gonna happen, okay?

I have asked Gus
a million times.

When I was a kid, she told me
that he taught dance lessons

in the Catskills and he never
put Baby in a corner.

So your dad is Patrick Swayze's
character in Dirty Dancing?

Yes, it was very embarrassing
when I put that together

at Molly Perkins eighth-grade
sleepover party.

[chuckling]

I had a lot to process.

Look, Gus is not going
to give it up.

I just asked her yesterday.

Well, you could do a DNA test.

It's not just how we find
serial killers.

It's not a guarantee
that I'm gonna find him.

I want her to tell me herself.

We have this whole family
history of keeping secrets

and of covering up the truth.
And I just...

[deep inhale]

I want that to end with me.

[phone buzzing]

[phone buzzing]

Hello?

What do you mean Frankie
didn't show up at school today?

[Narrator] Amanda had spent
the day

hiding in the shady part
of the barn,

but with Frankie MIA
and Amanda thinking

there's more than 1,000 percent
chance it's her fault,

she had to step out of
the shadows and take her licks.

You look like a supermodel
at a gas station, Amanda.

Have you seen Frankie?

No. Is she okay?

Physically? Yes.
Emotionally? No.

I embarrassed her.

[Narrator] Uh-oh.

Here comes judgment
in a spunky floral.

Hi, Amanda.

Hi, Dot.

I have something to say,

and I hope
it's not too personal.

Yeah.

It was a joy to watch you
on that TV show last night.

I mean, you were
gliding and confident.

Where you been hiding
that Amanda all these years?

Thank you.

Oh, and for the record...

I always thought you deserved
better than Frank Jr.

Okay, what'll ya have?

Oh, uh, how about, uh...

the Caesar salad?

[laughing]

Am I right?

[laughing]

Oh, I... I don't think
she finds that funny.

Two meat and threes, ma'am,
if you please.

Thank you kindly.

Any opportunity to laugh
at a Mimi's girl, right?

Jackals lay in wait
to tie me to the tracks again.

Gus, you are not a
Mimi's girl anymore.

You're a Chicken Sister.

[Narrator] The Chicken Sisters
didn't have a dark past

to reckon with.

They only had a bright future.

Hm.

Can you put the Caesar salad
stuff to rest?

No, no, no.
I don't want to put it to rest.

I want to exorcize it
and send it back

to whatever netherworld
it came from.

I got this.

I have a vision.

Well, I'm desperate, so I'm in.

What are you doing here, huh?
Looking for forgiveness?

Little Frank, you about scared
the living daylights out of me.

Now, I left you a message.

You saw my wife
kissing another man,

and you didn't think
you should mention it to me?!

What was going on
between you and Amanda,

it wasn't my place.

You're supposed to be looking
out for me!

Honey, I was trying to.

No, you weren't.

You were protecting Amanda.

She's not even your daughter.

You lied to me.

Now, Junior.

Oh, it seems to me
that everyone else

in this family gets to lie,

but I'm the only one
being punished for it.

Maybe you should
take a walk

before you say something
you regret.

Mamas are always supposed
to do the right thing.

And right in front
of the church he said:

"Mamas are always supposed
to do the right thing."

Frank Jr.'s got a lot of nerve.

What about a son
doing the right thing?

I wish we could just fast
forward through this part.

He's in a bad row of stumps
right now.

I'd be in a bad way, too,
if I had to serve that chicken.

What's wrong with it?

I would sooner eat
a tractor tire dipped in ranch.

But on the bright side,
there's no wait.

Oh, that's just gossip, Shawna.

No, ma'am.
I tasted it with my own mouth.

His marriage is over.

He's eating bad chicken
and his mama betrayed him.

You're a good mom, Nancy.

A lot better
than I ever could be.

That boy is lucky
that he's got you for a mama

and not me, because I would
have given him the what for?

What happened to you?

Huh? Shawna happened to me.

It's for the Gram.

I am not wearing this.

Look like a haunted
porcelain doll.

Dolls don't talk.

[suspenseful movie
music playing]

[whispers]
I'm glad you made it.

Why are you whispering?
There's no one else here.

Skipping school, huh?

Next thing you know, you're
doing corporate espionage.

Ruined my perfect
attendance today.

When I saw my dad kiss
his first girlfriend

after my parents got divorced
it was really weird

and gross and sad.

Yeah, I get that.

[stumbling]

Oh!

Sorry.

Good news is they didn't charge
me for the popcorn

because it's a day old, so.

Hey, Linz.

Hey, Dud.

[Narrator] Y'all put your
sunglasses on

'cause this Gus
is shining so bright,

she's liable to burn
your corneas.

Wow.

Okay, let's get this over with.

These are standing jeans,
not sitting jeans.

One of the understood rules
about the internet

is that when you give people
what they want,

they'll leave you alone.

Yeah.

Okay, y'all,
you're about to witness

a viral moment in the flesh.

Grab your phones,

you're going to want
to capture this for the Gram.

The famous Gus Moore
is gonna eat a Caesar salad.

One time only.

Yeah, this better work.

Oh, it will.

[camera recording beeps]

Okay.

Hi, I'm Gus Moore,

and now that I'm an actress,
I love Caesar salads.

Mm.

Mm.

Hm, that's pretty good.

Oh that's what a compliment
from Gus sounds like.

[camera recording ends]

And that's how it works.

I'll upload this
to the internet.

And no one's ever
going to ask you

for a Caesar salad ever again.

What? That's it?

Yep. The internet is fickle.

Once it gets a taste of defeat,

it moves on
to the next dumb thing.

All right, everybody,
back to work.

I'm not paying you
to be a bump on the log.

Oh, Shawna, good job.
Oh, thank you so much.

Well, I did work hard.

[Narrator] And with that, Gus'
15 minutes of fame was over.

She could step out
of the limelight.

But all this hullabaloo
had alerted someone

of Sergio's little shady spot.

Maybe next time they'll play
something from, like,

this century.

[laughing]

How'd you find me?

Dudley narked.

Oh.

It's hard for me
to lie to parents.

Frankie.

You can't just skip school
when you're upset.

I wasn't upset.

I was embarrassed.

That's not a good reason
to skip school.

Says the person who looks like
she's in witness protection.

That's beside the point.

Is it?

Take me home please, Dudley.

Excuse me.

[sigh]

[coins clinking]

I figured I owed
the lie jar a back payment.

Me too.

I heard Frankie skipped school.

Yeah.

She did.

And it's my fault.

Oh, it's a mama tax.

Everything's our fault.

As a matter of fact,
it occurred to me

as I was waiting
for that dang train arm

for the 17 millionth time today,

that I thought I was doing
the right thing

keeping your secret
from Frank Jr.

But it turned out
that I was just doing

the same thing
that Frank Sr. did to me.

Well, you were just
protecting me back then.

And here you are,
having to do it all over again.

No.

I was protecting myself
from having to pick a side.

Because I love you.

And I love my son.

[Narrator] Now I'm no doctor,
but I'll tell you what,

I do know the cure
for all problems in life.

Is that for me?

Sure is.

I put everything
in separate compartments.

So nothing touches,
just like you like it.

Go on, take it.

Is that all you came down
here for?

No, I came to apologize.

Okay.

I didn't know what the right
thing to do was, and...

I never meant
to hurt you, honey.

Okay.

I think we both made
some mistakes.

Well, you sure did,
didn't you?

I'm not gonna stand here
and pretend you didn't do

a barrel full of rotten things
to me and your ex-wife.

She's still my wife.

I just want to start fresh.

Clean slate.

I'm your mama,
and I love you no matter what.

So, I'm willing to forgive you
if you're willing to forgive me.

I'm sorry, mama...

I'm not ready to do that.

[Narrator]
With every scrumptious bite of
his family's fried chicken.

The weather in Frank Jr.'s
world was coming up cloudy

with a chance of revenge.

Mm.

We should stop.

I don't want us to burn out
on the first day.

Okay, but for the record,
I could have worked

for another four hours.

This was fun.

[laughing]

Thank you so much for your help

and for listening to me
go on about my dad.

I'm just...I'm so sorry
for unloading on you.

That's what friends are for.

And return the favor when
Linzey's dad calls me back,

the voicemail I left,

it might have been a teensy
bit too pointed.

What did you say?

I may have said that
his hasty hair transplant

looks like a gopher chowed down
on a golf course.

[laughing]

Oh hey, honey,
you want some pie?

No.

Oh no.
What's wrong?

I really want to go back
to New York.

What? We just unpacked
our suitcases.

I just want to go home.

I'm sorry.
I gotta mom right now.

Good luck.

I'll need it.

An hey, please don't touch
anything while I'm gone.

I don't trust you.

Linzey!

[knocking]

You hungry?

We don't have to talk.

I'm just going
to sit here, okay?

Won't say a word.

Okay, maybe just a couple words.

You know, I was a kid once, too.

And I do know something
about being embarrassed

by my mama.

Not like this.

No, you're right.

When I saw you and Sergio...

it was like proof that
you and dad were over.

Which I get, like, I'm not dumb.

You and dad were weird together.

I know.

We are different people now

than we were
when we fell in love.

But... I could have handled
myself differently.

I just wish

that someone had talked
to me about it.

I knew daddy wouldn't.

But you?

Honey, I... I didn't even
have the words

to figure it out for myself.

But it was just going on
between you and dad

like I wasn't part
of the equation.

I'm part of this family, too.

Of course you are.

I didn't realize...

that it would feel this bad...

when y'all started, you know...

moving on.

Moving on from what?

You don't think I'm moving on
from you.

Do you?

It feels like that sometimes.

Frankie Josephine Hilliard
you listen to me.

Oh, I could never move on
from you.

I will always be your mom.

What I'm struggling with
is just that I'm...

I'm not a wife anymore.

And I don't even know
who I am when I'm by myself.

You're not by yourself.

You've got me.

Not forever.

I'm sorry.

I shouldn't be putting
this on you.

I'm supposed to be
comforting you.

It's okay, mama.

You're going to go
to college soon.

I mean, who am I going
to make oatmeal for?

And who am I going to go
back to school shopping with?

And who's going
to make fun of me

for wearing skinny jeans?

[laugh]

They'll come back in style
eventually.

See? Who would tell me that?

[laugh]

I just don't... I don't know who
I'm going to be when you leave.

Well...

What about...

this person?

Oh.

You kept all these?

When I go to college,
I'm taking this with me.

Oh, baby.

[chuckling]

This is one of my favorites.

This chicken blow-dried her hair
into a beehive,

and there's bees in it.

[laughing]

That's sick.

Thank you.

You'll always be my mama.

But you can be this person, too.

♪ But I wouldn't know
you then... ♪

Is that chicken still warm?

Ah, let's see.

[chuckling]

Mm.

My girl.

Mm.

Good?

It's really good.

[laughing] Good.

[door squeaks open]

Howdy.

I'm looking for the best
Caesar salad in Merinac.

All right, now we have put
all that to rest.

So why don't you just--

[Narrator] You might be
wondering who this radiant
sunbeam is.

Well, I'd like
to introduce all y'all

to Clayton Briggs III.

Merinac's star quarterback,
1983.

Voted 'Most Likely to
Succeed', oh and also...

he's Mae's daddy.

Hi, Gussie.
