Original subtitles

Look, this isn't just about my job,

-it's the whole system, Andi. -That's why I need your help.

[Sabrina] Previously on Sistas...

-Very nice to meet you, Maurice. -My pleasure.

We'll see about that.

Fatima, you are carrying a whole-ass human

and dealing with Zac's drama.

How are you?

I feel like shit for even thinking this,

but a part of me was relieved when...

when the stillborn was Zac's.

[light hip-hop music]

[snoring]

This can't be my life.

[snoring continues] [playful music]

Oh, my God, he sounds like something's inside of him.

Hello?

I don't like gummy worms.

What?

Wake up.

Oh, my God.

Maurice.

Good morning.

-[Sabrina] Yeah, I need you to-- -Uh-uh-uh.

Ain't no need before you greet me, bitch.

I said good morning.

Good morning, Maurice. Whatever.

I need you to help me get out of this mess.

I need this man out of my apartment.

Get him out?

-[Frank] [snoring] -Is that him?

Girl, I thought you had a lion cub up in there.

Yeah, I know.

What am I supposed to do?

I mean, he's over here, talking in his sleep.

Thank God, I made him sleep on the couch.

[Maurice] Ooh-hoo! I know that's right, girl.

Put him to sleep like melatonin.

Okay, here's what you do. Grab it.

-Grab what? -[Maurice] It.

The morning wood is just as good.

-Take him down. -No, Maurice.

I'm not doing that, okay? I just...

I just need him to get out of here.

Right now. Okay?

I'm not used to this one night stand thing.

Okay, girl.

Well, tell me this. Do you want him to come back?

Was it good?

Okay, the silence tells it all.

Ain't nobody hesitating on good dick. [laughing]

It was a terrible night.

[Maurice] Oh, girl, I'm so sorry.

Okay, there's a few things you can do.

Cold water. Hot grits.

A taser. A blow horn.

You could shoot him.

Or you could tell him to go home and get his damn CPAP machine!

Few of those are a felony, but they all are effective.

Maurice, I just need you to help me, okay?

You got me into this mess.

I don't know how to get this man out of here.

Hello?

Damn, baby.

-Hell, what? -[Sabrina] Huh?

-Breakfast ready? -"Baby"? "Breakfast"?

Oh, hell, no!

[sighs happily] New day, new energy.

New day, new energy.

It is a new day.

Right.

The setup of my man.

I was wondering what all that noise was down here.

-You having a concert? -Good morning.

-Good morning. -Okay.

Yeah, sit, you are just in time for the show.

How you doing?

What got you so happy this morning?

There's plenty of reasons to smile.

I got air in my lungs, food in the fridge,

and this dress is fitting just right.

You see it? [chuckles]

Yeah, I ain't buying it.

What's this? You put poison in here?

Boy, stop.

You know that is not how I would kill you. [laughs]

Seriously, Zac. Look.

I know, last night, things got a little heated between us,

but can you just put it behind us, please?

-Sure. -Good.

You told me how you felt about the water birth.

I respect your opinion.

Good. Thank you.

Did you leave anything out?

Zac, I told you everything.

Eat your food before it gets cold.

Are you sure?

Really? Think about it.

Yes, Zac.

Look, I thought you just said we were good.

No, we're good.

I just want to make sure that you're free

to express exactly how you feel,

especially since so much has been about me,

you know, since Forever didn't make it.

As it should have been. Okay?

Speaking of, I never asked you how you feel about Karen

and the whole hospital situation.

You got anything you want to get off your chest?

♪ All 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 ♪

I mean, Zac, I have a lot

of feelings and thoughts about it.

I'm listening.

[phone vibrating] Um, one second.

Babe, I'm sorry. I got to take this.

-Okay. -Thank you.

-Don't let me hold you up. -Okay.

Hi, good morning, Mr. Duncan.

[Chaz] Quit playing.

Told you to call me by my first name.

How can I help you?

[Chaz] [chuckling] Okay. Put that shit on then.

I see you fine shit. Looking beautiful.

Nah, I just wanted to see if you down to link

at my little breakfast spot.

-My what? -Babe.

That is very kind of you, but I just actually finished

having breakfast with my fiancé.

[Chaz] Oh. Oh, okay.

I see your little diamonds type shit.

Look, my bad.

Listen, um, I'm headed to the office soon, okay?

-I will call you later, okay? -[Chaz] All right, bet.

Zac, don't be playing on my work calls.

Don't turn this around. Who was that?

That was the new basketball player

that I'm working with. Remember?

No, I don't remember.

And why he calling so early in the morning?

Zac, I told you about this yesterday.

Or at least I tried to.

I think I'd remember some smooth-talking bastard

when they calling my fiancée.

Look, I just helped him with a contract, okay?

Don't sound like he interested in no contracts.

Look, he's just trying to get what he know he can't have.

That don't make it no better.

Babe, listen.

I got this, okay? I know how to set boundaries.

Okay.

And I know -- like that. He gonna be a problem later.

Baby, and I handle problems, okay?

You see? The thought of your hands

on other -- problems

don't really rub me the right way, Fatima.

Baby, can you do me a favor?

Please. Please?

Try and have a good day. Can you do that for me?

Thank you.

Let's fix that attitude, okay?

Love you.

Bye!

So, it turns out that Dr. Cruise

has been putting his patients at risk for years.

-Look at this. -You serious?

Mm-hmm. Remember Latisha Halstead?

Name sounds familiar.

The one you went to law school with?

[Andi] Mm-hmm.

What happened?

She was one of Dr. Cruise's patients.

She bled out on the table.

I don't understand how this is allowed to keep happening.

I don't either.

But I am going to have his license,

and I'm gonna get justice for you.

Andi, I don't know about this.

This whole justice-for-Karen thing.

Karen, I am doing this for you.

And I didn't ask you to.

Karen, I am trying to explain to you that you deserve justice.

Andi, just listen to me.

[suspensive music]

None of this is bringing my baby back.

Ain't no justice.

This is just reminding me of the worst day of my life.

And that ain't something I can handle right now.

[mumbling indistinctly]

Hey! Good morning, babe.

Damn, you looking good in that uniform today.

Boy, please, you have seen me in and out of this uniform

more times than I can count.

Yeah, but there's something different about you today.

I can't quite put my finger on it.

[sensual jazz music]

I know what it is.

Yeah? Tell me.

Well, some people call it the bad bitch effect.

You know, it's when a man wakes up,

knows he got him a strong, sexy, independent, hard-working woman.

So he kicks his feet up,

because he knows she's gonna hold him down.

-I can see that. -Mm-hmm.

You know what I call it?

Tell me.

Some shit you better not get used to.

What you got planned today?

Well, you know, I was thinking

about still riding the relaxation train,

-taking a day to myself. -Okay, Tony, no.

I need you to rethink those thoughts now.

What do you have planned today that's productive?

Okay. Hear me out.

I, too, value hard work.

I, too, value hard work.

I got my first job when I was 14 years old,

and I haven't been without one ever since.

Even when we played college ball, I still had a job.

I always prided myself on being a provider.

All right? So I'm just looking at this as a chance

to getting out of that living-just-to-work mentality,

you know?

Part of me wants to experience that.

Well, if you want,

I could set up an interview with Outside Fred.

He could tell you how that usually turns out,

for him, at least.

Oh, you want to compare me to homeless people?

I mean...

What, do you think I'm some bum-ass guy?

I'm not, I'm not,

I'm not calling you a bum-ass --, you know?

Oh, well, that's really good to know.

I'm just saying it's the gateway drug

to becoming a bum-ass --, you see?

Where do you even come up with half this stuff?

Baby, I don't make the rules. Don't get mad at me.

If you get too comfortable without a job for too long,

that's what happens. You know?

Next thing you know,

you're driving through Atlanta with my car,

busting through red lights, smoking cigars,

and I come home one day,

and there's tents and rims on it.

-It's... -Okay.

Do yourself a favor and stop watching Baby Boy .

The point is, Jody-- Tony,

I'm not gonna let you get too comfortable.

What kind of woman would I be?

[emotional music]

I'm looking out for you, okay?

-I appreciate that. -[Danni] All right.

A kiss before you leave?

All right, I'll see you later, babe.

Mm-hmm.

[Sabrina] Hello?

Oh. [chuckles]

This cereal's bringing me back to life.

-Uh-huh. -Want some?

No. I'm good.

I know we got some unfinished business from last night.

Oh, no, no, no...

It's fine.

My soldier may have lost the battle,

but the war is not over.

Well, this will be your honorable discharge.

Your services are no longer required.

Damn. Don't do me like that, baby.

I...

I really like you.

Listen, I need you to leave.

-Leave? -[Sabrina] Mm-hmm.

Okay? It didn't work out for us.

So you can just go now.

Your loss.

Yeah, woo! My loss, I know.

So you can talk about it on your podcast.

All right. I'm gonna have you on, okay?

-Mm-hmm. -[indistinct]

Yeah. Have a good one.

All right, well, you got my number?

-I do. Have a high-value day. -[Frank] [groaning] Okay.

[smooth R&B music]

Ah.

[chuckling]

[phone ringing]

This is a pleasant surprise.

Well, you started it.

I called to say thank you.

[Vaughn] Oh. I figured you called to cuss me out,

especially after how we left last night.

I think you found the perfect way to make it up to me.

The flowers are beautiful.

I would like to take the credit, but I did not get you flowers.

You didn't?

No, I mean, I'm not saying you don't deserve them.

I'm just saying it wasn't me.

Oh, um...

I'm embarrassed. [chuckles]

[Vaughn] No, don't be. I mean, I'm honored

that I was the first person you would think of.

And I did want to apologize.

No, I should apologize.

I was being really pushy, and I feel like everything

was great until I did that.

It was.

And then you got passionate about something

that's important to you. I won't hold that against you.

So what now?

Let me ask you.

These, uh, flowers that you thought I got you,

did they put a smile on your face?

As embarrassing as it is, yes, they did.

Good. And it sounds like we want

to keep getting to know each other.

I wouldn't be mad at that.

[chuckles] Me neither.

And, uh, Andi, I do want to help you.

You just have to give me a chance to figure out how.

That'll be a better surprise than the flowers.

Good.

Um, I have to catch up real quick.

-Let me call you back later? -Yeah, that'd be great.

-Have a great day, Ms. Barnes. -You too, Dr. Vaughn.

[light suspensive music]

-Ms. Mott? -Come in.

Hi. I'm Dr. Vaughn. Good to see you again.

You too.

[Paige] Now, do you recognize where we are?

We're at Brookhaven Bank and Trust.

You're the branch manager.

[Maurice] Okay! I know this all so well. [chuckles]

-[Paige] Oh, hey. -A synchronized walk of shame.

Now, Sabrina, I know what your thing is,

but what are you

all rosy-cheeked and discombobulated for?

Come on, Maurice.

You know a lady never kisses and tells. [chuckles]

Where's the lady?

Sabrina, are you gonna let Maurice

talk to me like that in our--

Shh. Please, please, please.

[Maurice] Oh, girl.

Okay, I wasn't even paying attention.

Bad dick got her discombobulated.

What?

What? Your face is giving it away.

Oh, no! That cute guy from the bar?

What happened?

I was trying to be wild and free.

-[Paige] Yeah. -And I failed.

Was he a minuteman?

He was just flopping around.

-Oh, not a flop. -Yeah.

[Maurice] It's a real thing, you know?

People say that if you can get up close to it

and speak life into it, that that'll help.

Did you try that?

I would have thought about it, maybe.

If he didn't tell me he doesn't eat vagina.

[gasps] Oh, God. He was one of those?

Yeah. I didn't think they still make them.

-Yeah. -Mm-hmm. How embarrassing.

A lousy tongue and a limp dick.

-And what about you, Snow White? -Hm?

What got you all tore up?

Oh, well, sorry, Sabrina, but I had an amazing night.

I met this incredible guy,

and he had no problem standing up in me,

around me, behind me,

in front of me, beside me, on top of me.

We get it?

[Paige] Okay, yeah. Sorry, it was a lot.

Oh, and, um, one more little thing. Um.

He was a brother.

Your brother? Uh-uh.

-[Paige] No. -That is incest.

-You people need help! -Maurice. No.

No, he was not my brother.

He was... He was a beautiful Black man.

The man from the club the other night?

Yeah!

Girl, you done let that man put his chocolate bar

-inside of your buttercream. -I did. Yes.

[Maurice] Okay. Did y'all role play?

Here's how I picture it.

He's playing O.J. Simpson and you are Kris Jenner.

-[Paige] Oh. -Did he wear a glove?

Uh, he did wear a glove, but not this glove.

Uh, no, we didn't do that.

Uh, but he did, we did,

have a great time over and over and over again.

Long and strong.

You know, I've always admired from afar,

but I've never been able to,

like, sort of dip my toe in the pool, so to speak,

and I get it now. You guys, I get it now.

I get it now.

-She's gone forever. -Mm-hmm.

Next week, she gonna come in here with Senegalese twist.

Next week, she gonna come in here with Senegalese twist.

[chuckles] I actually think I'm gonna start washing my chicken.

Thank you.

-It's time. -Yeah.

A change gonna come.

-We shall overcome. -Okay.

And he done made you cum.

-Meemaw must be proud. -[Paige] That was beautiful.

Thank you for saying that.

[murmurs]

Whose flowers are they?

Oh.

Oh. [chuckles]

"Fatima Wilson."

These are heavy. Oh, my God.

Okay.

[pants] These are huge.

This is massive.

Andi.

-Hey. -What is going on here?

Okay, I, uh, I'm gonna give this to you.

Be careful, it's, I mean, you already know, huge.

-Massive. -[gasps] What did Zac do?

Oh, no, no, no.

What did you do to Zac?

Actually, they're not from Zac.

Okay, I need you to explain in vivid detail,

what the hell is going on here?

Spill the tea.

Okay, so you know the players

that I'm helping with their contracts?

One of them sent a gift, and then I guess

it turned into some competition?

Fatima, this is going

to garner a lot of attention from the partners.

Oh, I plan on getting rid of all this very fast.

I promise.

It's not really about the gifts.

You and I could get into a lot of trouble

with you practicing law without being licensed.

Andi, I just thought it would be a missed opportunity,

and you were so busy, so--

Look, I love this side thing that you have going on,

but I don't want you to lose your focus

from the job we have to do.

I do not feel comfortable with you making these decisions

without informing me.

What if something blows up?

How can I have your back if I don't know what's going on?

-You understand? -Yeah. I'm sorry.

[Hayden] You ain't got to worry about that.

I got her back now.

Fatima, you ain't tell her you're working with me?

Enjoy that upgrade to Economy Plus.

Good for you.

Girl, I hear you.

I got just what you need, baby.

Hold on one. I got oxtails.

I got rice. I got...

shit, I ain't got nothing. -- around with Tony.

[grumbles]

[Automated voice] Your call has been forwarded

to an automated voice messaging system.

I know you not... Hey, Tony. It's me.

Your hard-working, hungry girlfriend,

trying to cash in on her stay-at-home--- benefits.

Could you, uh, bring me my lunch, please?

I'm quite hungry,

and, you know, stop sending me to voicemail

or I'm pretty sure I'm going to cut you.

Cut you real good. All right.

Well, well, well.

See, we're going from personal guests to personal calls.

-Oh. Lizard. -It's Leonard.

-Okay? -[Danni] Same thing.

No, actually, that's an insult to lizards.

What can I do you for, hmm?

Oh, what is it, Fanny?

Are you... Yeah, Fanny.

Are you upset that your,

your man left work and the company,

and now you, you finally feel the effects

of actually having to do your job?

Wow, this is a lot. Okay.

I'm just hungry and really trying

to understand why you're eating a wiener covered in...

What, what, what is this?

It's mayonnaise. Duh.

Y'all nasty.

What do you want, huh?

-[Leonard] Oh. -Why are you even talking to me?

Oh, I just came by to, you know,

see how you were doing now that your former man boss

has put in his letter of resignation.

Listen, Leonard, I don't know you like that.

Don't pretend you care.

Oh, I, uh, won't because I don't.

I'm just interested to see how you plan

on keeping up these shenanigans.

Looking for any other high-level employees to cuddle up under?

Oh, that's crazy.

You still haven't learned not to -- with me at work.

-Oh, man. -That's crazy.

Don't take your frustrations out at me, okay?

Just because your unemployed boyfriend

is out doing who knows what with who knows who

and can't bring you lunch.

Yeah.

I'm guessing Tony realized

that if he can get away from this company,

maybe he can get away from you, too.

He's probably out finding a woman

that won't put his career at risk.

I'm sorry.

It was just hard to listen to you,

uh, eat a mayonnaise hot dog

with white stuff in the corner of your mouth.

Yeah, you might want to clean that up

because people are looking, and it's looking

like you're giving blowjobs out on the tarmac.

That's not--

And I really think that you don't want

those type of rumors spreading.

We don't give that type of customer service.

That's not in the handbook.

Stop that. Stop.

-Don't look at... -Leonard.

No. Wiener.

-It's not okay. -Two bites, huh?

I didn't know you had that deep throat.

Good for you.

[Automated voice] Your call has been forwarded

to an automated voice...

Stop! Answer the phone! [grumbles]

You know what? No. No.

Based on what you went through, I mean,

this is a testament to your strength.

Well, um, [clears throat] I'm still in a lot of pain.

But I'm starting to feel more like myself.

-Physically, anyway. Yeah. -[Vaughn] Good.

And I don't see it in here.

So how was Faith's first trip to the pediatrician?

I don't know. My mother took her.

You didn't go with her?

No.

Ms. Mott, it's very important that you go

on these first few appointments with her.

Okay, honestly, Dr. Vaughn, I just came here

to thank you for the last time, for what you did.

Otherwise, I'd never step foot in another hospital,

let alone this one.

How are you feeling?

Mm. Mentally?

I don't want to say anything

that'll be perceived the wrong way.

[Vaughn] No, it won't be perceived the wrong way.

You can say anything here.

Well...

I don't understand what's going on.

After Forever, I should be angry, and I am.

But I'm also numb.

[Vaughn] Mm.

You went through an incredibly traumatic event.

Childbirth can be that,

even without the grief of losing a child.

And you just, you have to give yourself time.

Even with Faith, I mean...

this ain't nothing like I thought it would be.

It's...

it's like there's something missing.

it's like there's something missing.

You know, I've heard some new mothers say this.

Um... Postpartum depression could be

something that you're experiencing.

Look, don't jot none of this down, okay?

They gonna come in and try to take my baby

and put me in a straitjacket.

I'm only half joking.

They've done worse to Black women before.

[Vaughn] Yeah, I hear you on that.

I mean, you don't have to worry, though.

Postpartum is a scary word,

but a lot of women go through it.

And they're great mothers during and after.

Mm.

Well, I don't know

if that's what this is,

but, if so, what would you recommend?

There's people who specialize in postpartum therapy.

There are medications

that you could take that we could talk about.

There are support groups that you can join

if you don't feel comfortable

talking to your family and friends.

And the hard part is, uh, trying to get women

to utilize these resources,

because you're often so busy caring for a newborn.

Right.

And after you heal, you can, um...

you can do some light exercise, even meditation.

Okay.

What happens if I do all that and it still don't work?

What happens if I just...

want to keep walking and not stop?

Try it.

[chuckles] Yeah, I mean, sometimes, uh,

an intense event can connect you to a specific place.

So it could help to get a change of scenery.

I'm not saying it's for everyone,

but it could work for you.

[tender R&B music]

Look, I'm here if you need answers

to any other questions or want to talk.

All right. Thank you.

-Please, check this out. -I will.

Thank you, Ms. Mott. The nurse will be in shortly.

Okay.

Oh.

Damn! Andi don't never get no gifts like this.

I mean, with all the men you been dealing with,

you would think you would get something. [chuckles]

Hayden, give us the room, please.

Well, you did get that penthouse, right?

[Andi] Hayden, now.

I'm going.

[suspensive music]

Hayden, Fatima?

Andi, you were busy. I just...

CC me on all emails, moving forward.

Oh! And how does Zac feel about all these gifts?

What, you want me to CC him, too?

I'm sorry. Blame it on the hormones.

But I...

I guess he's fine with it.

Well, I am going to get back to work.

I suggest you do the same.

Nurses' statements, Vanguard Hospital,

my desk, immediately.

Right on it.

That was awkward.

Tension so thick, it could work at Magic City.

I hate to break it to you, but Andi's jealous of you.

You better watch yourself.

Hayden, there has never been nor will there ever be

any jealousy between me and Andi, okay?

Don't say I didn't warn you.

Hayden, my boss hates your guts and you're still here.

I'll be fine.

See, Andi's my colleague.

See, we're both actually lawyers.

You, on the other hand, you disposable.

You know what?

I'm going to go ahead and take this

as a form of payment for my amazing advice.

Take whatever you want, Hayden.

What, you ain't even going to fight me over no good liquor?

What, you pregnant or something?

Oh, shit.

[light playful music]

[gasps] No, no, no, no.

No!

Don't do it. [shudders]

Don't do it, bitch. Don't do it.

Ain't nothing, a heartbreak and some flaccidity.

You can live after that.

Don't do it.

Let it go. Let it go.

Stop being foolish.

-Let it go. -Stop.

It's just hydration powder. It's not poison.

Oh, bitch.

I thought you was about to take the long nap.

I'm sorry, I'm just trying to get myself together.

[light pensive music]

[sighs] Thank you for holding it down out there.

Oh, it's fine, girl.

The way Paige is jumping around,

we don't even have no work to do.

Yeah, I should be happy for her, but honestly, I'm--

You salty?

No, I'm supposed to be out here, mixing and mingling,

having fun.

I just keep falling flat on my face.

-Sabrina. -I don't know.

Maybe I'm not made for the streets.

You just got in the streets.

They just laid the pavement two minutes ago,

about as long as it took for Rich to slide up in Penelope.

That's not funny.

Sorry.

Well, what about the man that Andi was with at the club?

Maybe he has, like, a twin brother.

She was just there to pick up her to-go order.

She a lawyer, huh?

That's the guy that did Karen's C-section.

Uh-huh.

And he about to give Andi a D-section.

Why would she lie to me?

[Maurice] Mm. [message notification]

What is this?

It's an invite to EliteCompany.

A dating app?

Yes. I've sent you an invite.

All you have to do is set up your profile.

Now, EliteCompany is full of professionals.

There are some cuties on here.

Nine times out of ten, they're legit.

Okay, I'm going to have to make a profile.

That's right.

What if I put

"I'm thirty and flirty"?

Mm-mm, give me this.

"Thirty and flirty"? You rhyming now?

What, bitch? You Da Brat?

Okay. We need a profile picture.

Which one you want to use?

Uh. How about that one?

-Ah! Uh-uh. -What?

You ain't got no more...

That looks like you want to audition to be a deaconess.

-Maurice! Stop. -[Maurice] Junior Usher.

Don't play me like that. That's a cute picture.

-Uh-huh. -No?

We gonna have to do a photoshoot, I see.

Something more lively.

Age-appropriate.

More human.

[cellphone ringing]

Oh, who's this?

Oh. Hey, Pam.

What? Miss New Mama actually picked up?

I was just thinking about you. How's things going?

Fabulous, per usual.

But the real question is, how are you?

I'm good.

Yeah, I just finished a checkup at the doctor.

And waiting on Aaron to pull up.

How was your checkup?

It was good. I'm healing and, you know,

able to move around a little better than before.

Good. And how's my baby Faithy?

She's good.

Aaron is obsessed with her, all up in that baby's face.

I know that's right, Papa. So?

What?

Are you forgetting something?

-Am I forgetting your birthday? -[Pam] No.

Aren't you gonna ask me about the shop?

Oh.

Um, yeah.

How's it going?

You used to micromanage me, calling every five minutes.

Now I barely hear from you.

Okay, Pam.

Look, being a new mom is real hard, okay?

I know.

I'm just trying to see if you still care.

[rhythmically blowing air]

[doorbell ringing]

Who the -- is this now?

What the -- is this?

I ain't order no box.

Thanks, I guess.

What the -- is this?

See, that's the shit I be talking about.

"Just a little something for coming through for your boy.

"I like the way you be standing on business.

"We locked it.

"You fine and you fire.

"I swear.

From Chaz."

Well, let's see what you got us, Chaz.

Why the -- this little-ass bag in big-ass box?

A K-Richards purse?

How the -- would he know that she wants this?

[upbeat R&B music]

Slide. Slide, jump.

Hey, yo, bomb down that B. Bomb down that B.

Hold.

Wait, I'm nadin' it. I'm nadin' it.

All right, go.

Oh. Hey, babe.

-Who's the bitch, Tony? -What?

Where's the bitch? Hmm?

What bitch? There isn't one.

There must be a bitch in here

because you're not answering your phone.

You've been calling me?

Calling, texting, voicemails.

I was ready to send a carrier pigeon.

-What are you doing? -Danni, I...

Wait, is everything okay? What happened?

I was calling you about my lunch.

Oh, the oxtails with the rice and the lemon pound cake.

Yes.

I left it.

That was your lunch?

[sniffing stressfully] Yes, Tony.

That was my lunch. That was mine.

Oh, I'm sorry. I had no idea.

Let me get this straight.

You think I got my ass up early, got ready for work,

and said, "Hold up. Wait a damn minute.

"I gotta make lunch for a --

who got all the time in the world to feed himself."

You can't think I'm that good of a girlfriend.

I don't think I'm that good of a girlfriend.

I'm sorry. Uh. Well, what do you want me to do?

-Throw it up. -What?

-[Danni] Throw it up. -Don't be ridiculous.

What's ridiculous is how my stomach was cussing me out

in front of customers.

Why didn't you just go to the food court?

Because I wanted my lunch! I wanted what was mine.

I prepared it for me. I was looking forward to it.

Okay.

Uh, I'll replace the food, all right?

Oh, you're damn straight.

You can buy me dinner, too.

Because, you know, I'm not myself when I'm hungry.

Done.

But the heart of the matter, what had your attention

that, you know, engrossed that you didn't see anything?

-Hmm? -Danni, I was...

[toilet flushing]

[suspensive music]

Did my... My toilet just flushed.

-Did that just... -Okay, um, Danni--

So that's a "Yes."

-[Tony] I can explain. -Okay.

You really did have a bitch in here while I was at work.

-Whoa, whoa, whoa! -[Danni] I didn't think so.

Put the knife down. Danni Dahmer!

Tony, you might want to get off of me.

-I got a knife in my hand. -Okay, but listen.

-Okay? -I can explain.

Tell it to Jesus.

Because that's who you're about to go see.

And the ho in there behind you.

You hear that, ho? Come on out!

So I can whoop both your asses at the same time,

my blood sugar low!

Danni, it's not what you think.

You know, you really did have a bitch in here

while I was at work.

That's crazy. I didn't think so.

But that's what happened.

[Tony] All right, look, Danni, I can explain.

You hear that, ho? I need you to come out.

I need to whoop y'all ass at the same time.

I only have so much energy.

[Tony] It's not what you think, Danni.

I think that you better keep your ass over there.

Huh?

Yo, Tony. Please don't tell Danni, bro.

But I just blew that shit up, man.

-Roc! -Them oxtails gave me the runs.

Ready to hop back on that game? Oh, hey, cuz.

[Anchor] Let's talk about all the new young talent

on the Atlanta roster this season.

It's still gonna suck.

[phone vibrating]

Hello?

Hey, babe. What you doing?

I've been better.

[Fatima] Well, I got something I think may cheer you up.

What's that?

[Fatima] An opportunity to get the bag.

The bag?

You been getting a lot of those lately, huh?

And do, you already know.

But, babe, you remember the guy that called this morning?

Oh, you mean the disrespectful young basketball --

that interrupted our breakfast, talking about

the little diamonds I put on your finger?

Nah, I don't remember that.

Listen, besides him being

a little inappropriate, the kid's ambitious.

He's just young.

It's good for him. I hope he grows up.

Honestly, he reminds me a lot of you.

-Of me? -Yeah.

The way you always go after what you want

and always looking for an opportunity.

I bet he does.

So he called me today, asking if I knew anyone

that was in investing in real estate,

and I mentioned you.

What you say his name was again?

-Chaz. Chaz Duncan. -Chaz.

Chaz Duncan has very good taste.

-What? -Nothing.

But you know what?

Set up that meeting with me and Chaz.

I would love to talk to him.

I'm sorry. Are you sure you're okay?

Yeah, I'm cool.

You know, this is exactly what I need

to put this pent-up energy to work.

Set that meeting up ASAP.

See, I knew this would cheer you up.

You have no idea. Go ahead.

-Set it up ASAP. -Okay, babe.

-Set it up ASAP. -Okay, babe.

I got to get to work, all right? I'll talk to you later.

Bye, Lawyer Bae.

[chuckles] "Lawyer Bae."

I love that little nickname. You're so silly.

All right. Bye.

"Lawyer Bae." [chuckles]

[Anchor] Chaz Duncan's game is electric.

He's a monster that steals the rebounds.

If he has something you love, don't leave it around him.

-- this --, man.

-Zac. Chaz, man. -What's up?

[Danni] Next on Sistas...

So I guess you got it all figured out, huh?

Me? Nah.

I just like to be thorough,

especially when it comes to business and money.

-I mean, Fatima said-- -What?

Pam, what is going on? Huh?

-It's not that bad. -I don't understand.

I promise you that whenever you

find out what this is, you will enjoy.

-Enjoy what? -This.
