All language subtitles for The Chicken Sisters s02e01 The Train Has Left The Station.eng

Previously on
The Chicken Sisters.

Ultimate Kitchen Clash is back!

The prize... $100,000!

Whoo!

The Chicken Sisters' dish
was clearly the better dish,

but you're gonna
give it to this guy?

I quit.

I deserve better.

You should go.

It's just junk.

Mama?

Your mother has
Multiple Sclerosis.

[Nancy] I want you to come
stay with me.

You need a home cooked meal
and someone you can come home

and talk about your day with.

I've never had that before.

I lied a lot.

I made a mess of everything.

All I've ever wanted
with you was an adventure.

And you know what's
an adventure?

Staying here and
having time to know you.

Are you saying that
you wanna stay?

It takes more to share
a life with someone

than just a spark.

You don't think we
have what it takes?

I'm not saying that,
and I'm not saying never.

I want to invest in
the Chicken Sisters.

I see two locations,
which means twice the profits.

I won that money
fair and square.

Honey, that's not
how I see it.

[birds chirping]

? Everybody's talking
about a chicken ?

? A chicken is
a popular bird ?

[Narrator] Welcome back
to Merinac, y'all.

Population 12,758.

Whoo-wee!

That's more people than
you can shake a stick at.

But it hasn't always
been like this.

Back in the old day ,
before VHS players

and eyebrow pencils,

Merinac was just
a sleepy little town.

And it stayed sleepy
until two things happened.

First, the town
got a train stop.

And second, the Chicken
Sisters opened up shop.

Word traveled fast that
Merinac was the home of

fried chicken so good it would
make you smack your mama.

Yes siree, the chicken
and the trains

brought a lot of
folks to town.

But nothing lasts forever.

[flashbulb clicks]

All it took was one
sleepy conductor

for the train
to jump the track.

The local train couldn't stop.

And while the mess was
being cleaned up,

the train had to
go another route.

And never stopped
in Merinac again.

? ...Even King Henry
the third ?

That was until a new kind
of train blew into town.

? Because a chicken ain't
nothing but a bird

[rooster crows]

?

?

Two cortados?

Saw you coming.

Thank you.

Shawna. Wow.

What is that t-shirt?

Oh, I made it. Naturally.

Snag one at the premiere party
before they all sell out.

All right, everyone,
listen up, y'all.

I wanna see all of
your beautiful faces

at Chicken Sisters this
Saturday for the watch party.

Death himself couldn't
keep us away.

Yeah.

I'm upset that Kenneth can't
come to the premiere party.

Oh, well, I'll just call
his sister and tell her

to just wait on having
the baby then.

Could you do that?

Look, there she is!
Woo-hoo!

The woman, the myth,
the legend.

[cheers and applause]

Whoo!

All right, all right.

Let me have my
coffee first, y'all.

It's been like this all week.

I'm so sorry you
accidentally made yourself

a local celebrity.

Thanks, Patrick.

-Thank you.
-Bye.

[applause and cheers]

Oh. Mom, it's okay.

[Narrator] Amanda found every
reason to linger a little longer

so she could be next
to her baby girl

who wasn't a baby anymore.

Okay.

Mama! Look. I love you,
but I've got to go.

Okay, just 30 more seconds.

Come on, I'm not gonna be able
to do this when you're gone.

You'll have Aunt Mae

and Grandma Gus
and Grandma Nancy.

They're not snugglers.

Oh.

Okay!

Bye.

[rooster crows]

I made that bacon for me.

Hey, come on.

If you wanna get back
in that wheelchair,

then you just help
yourself to all the grease

you can stomach.

You're not my mother,
you know.

I'm a grown woman.

Well, then act like it.

[Narrator] What doesn't kill
you makes you stronger.

And with Nancy wrangling
Gus's MS like a wild stallion,

Gus could be
her ornery self once again.

Sweet treats for
my sweetheart...

Uh... Gus.

-Hi!
-Hey, you.

Ugh.

Could I make you a plate?

Uh, no. No, no.

I was actually kind of
hoping to catch you alone.

Oh, well.

We got a late start.

Stayed up all night gabbing.

Nancy was doing
all the gabbing.

I was held hostage.

Well, I'll, uh,
catch you later.

Got an important
question to ask you.

[chuckles]

Important question?

The important question, maybe.

No.

We've only been
courting for, what...

three quarters of a year?

Well, it makes
perfect sense to me.

Now, you marry him,
you move into his house,

and I live here alone and eat
all the bacon I want.

You don't know what he wants.

I mean, he could want
a loan or... or a kidney.

But if he does wanna
pop the question.

Well, come on,
can you blame him?

Oh.

That's sweet.

?

It's a bit early for lunch.

Just practicing
some techniques.

Oh, yes.

Well, you got mine yesterday.

[Narrator] Look at those BFFs.

It took 'em eight months,
but whatever happened between

Amanda and Sergio in the past
had blossomed into

a beautiful friendship.

[chuckles]

Did you get your
hair cut last night?

Yeah, I did.
Thank you.

I didn't say it
looked good.

[laughs]

Hey, okay!

If you're yakking,
you're slacking.

?

[gasps]

Two more yeses.

Can you believe that
people responded 'maybe'?

I mean, commit, people.

We are.

So, uh, my mom
called this morning.

She's very excited about
her mother-son dance.

Oh, that's sweet.

Uh, she also wanted to know
if you'd be dancing

with your dad.

What did you tell her?

That I was going into
an underground garage.

Do you think I should just
ask Farmer Jarvis outright?

Absolutely, if you really
think he's your dad.

I think he is.

I mean...

There's this photo
of him and Mama

basically doing the lambada.

And the way he
looks at me

like I'm taking
my first steps.

It's familiar.

You don't think you
could ask your mom?

No.

Why not?

The Gus I know
would be open to it.

Well, the Gus I know
won't touch the subject

with a ten-foot pole.

[Narrator] Nothing made
Mae feel more like she was back home

than having to wrestle
some of those pesky problems

she left behind.

[groans]

Did you see Eddie giving
you eyes yesterday?

No, I did not.

And Clyde was checking
you out, too.

You are hot property
around here.

I'm not interested.

Since you and
Frank Jr. separated,

you haven't been
on one date.

What makes you think
I even wanna go on a date?

Okay, so maybe I,
you know,

karate chop my shower curtain
when I get home at night

just to make sure there are
no murderers back there.

Mm-hmm.

But that doesn't mean I wanna
jump back into a relationship.

I like being on my own.

When I come home at night,
there's no socks on the floor.

[laughs] I'm not saying
you need another husband.

I'm just saying start
taking some baby steps.

I will.

Just as soon as Frank Jr.
signs the divorce papers.

Oh, I can make him do it.

A little light
public humiliation

should do the trick.

No, Shawna, we are not going
to stoop to that level.

That level's fun.

He will do it.

Eventually.

If you're not ready to date,
at least take this.

Queen of the Cowboys.

It's about a small town
woman who joins the rodeo

for adventure, but ends up
falling in love

with a bareback bronco rider
with a secret past.

Just something to help pass
the time until you're ready

to get back out there.

[traffic sounds]

[Sabrina] They won't meet
with me?

They're doing Project Runway
for dog clothes.

I have a Peabody.

Drop me off at
the next avenue, please.

Well, okay.
Well, you tell them

Sabrina Sky won't
meet with them!

[Narrator] Sabrina was back
in New York

trying to build her
career up after she

burned all her bridges.

So, what she didn't need
at the moment was another

bump in the road.

$900 on Southwest.

Oh, no no no no no.

Not today.

Excuse me.
Change of plans.

Bon app�tit.

Thank you, honey.

I'm here. I got stuck
behind that dang

railroad arm again.

I couldn't lift it up.

Someone oughta fix that thing.
-I know.

Fat chance. That thing's
been broken forever.

Okay, can everyone just
circle up real quick?

Okay, so, as you know,
tomorrow is very exciting.

Our episode of
Kitchen Clash premieres.

That's industry speak for
the first time that something

airs on television.

I do think this is
gonna be huge for us.

And our businesses.

I already got a leggings order
from a woman from Yonkers.

Ooh!

And our episode
hasn't even aired yet.

Don't y'all think we're gonna
look bad 'cause we didn't win?

I wonder how Frank Jr.'s
gonna come off.

Oh, like a sophisticated
gentleman, I'm sure.

But you know what they do
on reality shows, right?

They twist the footage
to make it look like

things happen that didn't.

-That's true.
-You're right.

-They can't do that.
-Yeah. They can.

[overlapping chatter]

[Narrator] Mae wanted to tell
everyone it was gonna be okay,

but she wasn't sure.

So, she did what she always
did in sticky situations.

She told a little lie.

None of that is gonna happen.

Think about it.

Technically, Mimi's lost,
Frannie's won,

and they're both ours now.

So, when strangers come from
all across the country to get

the best fried chicken
they've ever seen on TV,

they're coming here.

[Narrator] But Amanda knew
her sister well.

She knew when Mae lied,
she gave a little

terse smile at the top,
avoids eye contact

and only the dogs
can hear her talk.

Incomplete?

Dang it, this is the fourth
time I've filled out

these medical forms.

How am I supposed to
know how to do all this?

Amanda used to
always do this.

This stuff's harder
than the ACTs.

You see the promos
for Kitchen Clash?

I had a pretty big star turn.

My whole left forearm
was in a shot.

No spoilers, all right?

I wanna see it
with fresh eyes.

Okay, well...

let's get this place
ready for the lunch rush.

More like lunch trickle.

?

You okay, Mama Nancy?

Oh, shoot, I'm not
paying attention. Ugh!

I keep thinking about Frank Jr.

Maybe we could put
a temporary pause on him

not being allowed in here,
just for the premiere.

It was a unanimous
vote to ban him.

And it was the right thing
to do, considering, you know,

what he did to all of us.

I... it just feels strange.

It's a big moment.

That he needs to earn back
the right to be a part of.

I know, but...

Taking the prize money and
opening a rival restaurant?

That's beyond rotten.

[Narrator] Nancy
knew this was true.

But it didn't make
the distance between her

and her only son
hurt any less.

How do I look?

Presentable?

Sure.

Okay. Wish me luck.

[Narrator] Well, there he is.

Mae's maybe daddy.

But there was only one
way to find out for sure.

Hi, Jarvis.

Morning, Mae.

Okay, so we're doing a survey
of all of the customers,

and, um... we're asking them
what their favorite side is.

So I was just wondering,
what is yours?

Well, I'm... I'm partial
to the green beans.

That is so funny.

Me too.

[both laugh]

Yeah, that is funny.

I gotta say...

I am awfully proud of you.

You went out there
in the world

and made a name
for yourself.

You know...

I think of you as more than
just the local chicken farmer.

Well, I should hope so.

You know,
if I ever had kids,

I would've wanted them
to be just like you.

Well, you never know
what the future might hold.

[Narrator] For Mae, that was as
good as a positive DNA test.

But she figured she
better let Jarvis,

I mean, her daddy,
finish his lunch.

Don't want him choking
on his meat and three.

[phone alert chimes]

You know, if you text
in all caps,

they're legally
obligated to do just that.

It's Frank Jr.

Ugh.

Don't worry,
it's nothing important.

It's just, you know,
everyday kinda stuff.

He is a grown man.

I am sure that he can figure
out how to run the cold cycle

or whatever it is he's
texting you about.

He does his laundry
at my house.

Amanda!

He is coming up with
excuses to talk to you.

You two are separated.

That means separate.

You need to put up
a boundary with him.

Okay.

I'm gonna make you a deal.

I'm gonna work on setting
a boundary with Frank Jr.

if you promise to stop telling
white lies all the time.

I don't do that.

-That is a lie!
-No, it's not.

You stood up here
in front of everybody

and you said everything
is gonna be okay

on Kitchen Clash.

It is.

Lie!

Okay, but it was just,
like, a little white lie.

I mean...

I just didn't want
everyone to spin out.

I was doing it
to protect them.

It doesn't matter
why you did it.

No more lies in
this family, okay?

I'm gonna do for you
what I used to do

for Frankie when
she was little

and having trouble
telling the truth.

A quarter per lie.

I'm not a child.

I don't need that.

Lie and double lie.

[groans]

Go on then.

[coins clatter]

I'm proud of you.

You are gonna grow up
to be such a wonderful

young lady one day.

I don't understand.

How is this a thing
that is okay?

The train's been gone
for 10 minutes.

[camera clicks]

[knock at door]

I didn't know
where else to go.

How long has the railroad arm
on Cedar Street been broken?

Fifteen years.

At first people complained,

but then they found
a workaround.

And that workaround is
everyone lifting

the arm up themselves?

Yup.

I add in squats and I call it
a full body workout.

Welcome to Merinac, babe.

Hi, honey.

Oh, look at you two
with your big day

right around the corner.

I love weddings.

Other people's weddings.

I love watching weddings

'cause it's the only time
in your life when everybody

you love gets together
in one place and behaves.

Hopefully.

I'm having some trouble
with my Internet machine.

Could you help me?

Yeah, yeah, of course.
I'll be back, babe.

Hey.

Look...

now that my wedding
is coming up,

I just have not been able
to stop thinking about

how I acted at yours.

I mean...

asking you to move
to New York

right before you
walk down the aisle.

That was so out of line.

I really hope I didn't
ruin your whole day.

It was the right message.

It was the wrong time.

Plus...

once Mama disowned me
after my vows,

I completely forgot
about what you said.

At least she wore
a dress when she did it.

I hadn't seen her knees
in 10 years.

[both laugh]

[Narrator] If change was easy,
everyone would do it.

Gus had made leaps and strides
since mending things

with her daughters,
but when it came to fessing up

to her past misdeeds,
she wasn't ready to jump yet.

I mean, it's bad enough that
my dad's getting remarried.

But for him to be so rude.

Some dads have a hard
time with their feelings.

And being normal people.

He said that he finally
had a second chance

at being a good dad.

As if he isn't my dad anymore
just because I'm 17.

He said the quiet
part out loud.

I'm sorry.

? I'm not a mathematician ?

? But the world's done
a number on you ?

? We're all rose
colored vision ?

? But you only see the blue ?

? You keep lookin'
for a reason ?

? But I don't need
a reason to ?

? Cross my heart ?

? I'm on your side ?

? It's no decision ?

? It's decided ?

? You need a place to land ?

? I'll be the floor ?

? You need an easy out ?

? I'll be the door ?

? You need a song to sing ?

? I'll be the chords ?

? The wind beneath
your wings ?

? I'll be the source ?

? People let down ?

? People let go ?

? Baby, by now
you should know ?

? You don't gotta
earn it anymore ?

? I'm always gonna love you ?

? Because, of course ?

What can I get you?

A fried chicken plate.

Chicken plate... and for
your sides, Eddie?

Mashed potatoes, uh,
mac and cheese and...

could I also get
a side of, uh...

How about you let me
take you out on a date

after the premiere tomorrow?

Oh.

That is so sweet, um,
but I don't know.

Oh, please hear me out.

I practiced this.

Remember that time when I gave
you that little stuffed doggy

that said puppy love
in kindergarten?

Well, I kept chickening out
to say it to your face.

And before I knew it, you were
with Frank Jr. forever.

I thought I'd never
have the chance again.

But...

I'm not gonna let
this chance pass me by.

I can't right now, Eddie.

Um... uh, it's...
it's complicated.

On my end.

Um...

but maybe in the future.

Sure.

I'll be here.

'Cause I live here.
[chuckles]

Um... iced tea's on me today.

Hi Mama.

Well, hey.

I thought you were working
at Frannie's all day.

Well, they're all staffed,
so I thought I would just

come by and see if
you needed any help.

Well, unless you can fix
the handle on an old fridge,

I think I got everything
covered here.

Let me help my mommy.

All right. Uh...

I suppose you can
marry the ketchups.

That would be my pleasure.

These ketchups should
be married.

And, um...

when one ketchup walks
the other ketchup

down the aisle,
don't you think

that they would want their
whole ketchup family there

to witness them?

Its ketchup mother and
its ketchup father.

No, Mae, I do not think that.

Mama, it's over.

-I know.
-Know what?

Who my dad is.

[Narrator] Gus had a lot of
recurring nightmares.

Most of them involved
spiders and clown makeup.

But the one she feared
the most was that her past

would jump scare
back into her life.

I found this very
romantic picture of you

and Farmer Jarvis.

[laughs]

Farmer Jarvis?

Get outta here.

He's not your father.

He's my second cousin.

Why is he touching your
pregnant belly, then?

Oh, because that fool
thinks that he can guess

the gender of a baby
by touching your belly.

And half the time,
he is right.

He's your second cousin?

Mm-hmm.

Okay, well, that is also
important information.

Will you just tell me yourself
then who my daddy is?

Come on, Mom, don't you
want it off your chest?

No.

Why not?

Is there something
wrong with him?

Oh, lots of things.

Did it ever occur
to you that maybe

I would like to meet him?

And then I can decide
for myself if I would

like him in my life or not?

No, and he's probably
dead already.

-Is he?
-No!

Mama, this is serious!

Why, why do you wanna
get to know this man?

Because I feel like I only
know half of myself.

Do I have his nose?

Do I walk like him?

Yes and no.

Mama, please.

I thought that
things had changed.

That maybe you would
finally realize

how much this means to me.

But I can see that
I was wrong.

Ugh. Frank Jr.

Ah-ah-ah-ah!

You know the rules.

I only have my
right foot inside.

What choice did I have?

You stopped answering
my texts.

What do you want?

I need to come over tonight.

[exhales]

Fine. You can
come over tonight.

Thank you.

[Narrator] Every path has
its puddles,

including Amanda's path to
being free from her marriage.

But today she's got
her rain boots on.

And in return,

you can bring over
the signed divorce papers.

Okay, but... okay.

[keys tapping]

[snoring]

[exhales]

Are you feeling better?

Yeah, a little bit.

[car door opens]

Oh, it's my mom.

-Oh, no.
-Don't worry...

My mom doesn't know I'm here.

And I can't handle any more
parent energy right now!

Okay.

-I'm outta here.
-Mom!

Uh... why don't you
take a load off?

Here, let me help you out.

Everything cool?

Cool? Yeah, uh... so cool
I need a space heater.

Okay, I really do need
to hang up my jacket.

Well, why don't you let me
hang it in the, in the, uh...

bedroom closet?

That makes more sense anyway,
'cause you're gonna put

your clothes on, you're gonna
put this on right after.

And it's actually kind of
insane that we even have

a closet over here.

Is this some sort of
TikTok prank?

Hi.

Linzey?

[Narrator] Gus hoped one day
the things Mae's dad had done

might feel better when
they quit hurting.

But they never did.

And so she decided today was
the day she made her daughter

more important than
her broken heart.

? And overnight
we forgot it all ?

? Some things are lost
with the tide ?

? So, tell me this ?

? You know ?

? You're missed ?

? And all the while
I'm screaming out ?

? You're still caught
in the rip ?

? And I'll leave
the light on ?

? I'll leave the light on ?

? All night until
you come home ?

? I'll leave the light
on for you ?

? I've had some love ?

[chuckles]

? You'd probably laugh about ?

? We danced all night
and I thought of you ?

? You'd probably
like him a lot ?

?

[exhales]

Frank Jr.

You didn't even knock.

My key still works.

Well, that doesn't mean
you should use it.

Frankie! Daddy's home.

She's out with friends.

Told her I was stopping by.

What do you want help with?

Oh... here.

Uh...

AB negative.

Eight months ago.

Oh, yeah.

And the last four digits
are two, three, nine, eight.

There you go. All done.

Your turn.

Okay.

Just let me pop in a quick
load of whites and darks.

No, you can't put those in
all in together in one load.

Did you bring
the divorce papers?

Ah, I do believe
I forgot them.

Again?

They keep slipping my mind.

I want us to come out
the other side of this.

We've been married longer
than we've been apart.

It's not easy starting
up something new.

But we have to.

I have to.

Don't you want a fresh start?

No.

I liked our life before.

It was nice.

For you.

Please sign the papers.

For both of us.

Hey.

[Narrator] You know what's
about as useless as

a pogo stick in quicksand?

Unsigned divorce papers
that never leave your truck.

[animal chitter sounds]

[knock at door]

Hi.

Everything okay?

Nuh-uh.

There's a noise,

but it's not a city noise
that you can sleep through.

You know, like a couple
breaking up on the sidewalk

or a car running into
a fire hydrant.

Ah.

The tiny menace.

The what?

That's what Frankie and I
call the annoying weasel

that uses our backyard
as a vacation home.

Okay, what do I do?

It sounds possessed.

Well, Frank Jr. was supposed
to get rid of it, but...

Here we are,
still bothered by it.

Sweet dreams.

Yeah, I doubt it.

[rooster crows]

?

Shakshuka?

Morning.

Oh!

A fancy breakfast.

Yeah, I thought my fianc�e
would enjoy a little

taking care of
after yesterday.

Okay, can we please not
use the word fianc�e?

It is so pretentious,
and I am, as you know,

a chill bride.

Oh, yeah.

That is exactly what
chill brides say.

Mmm.

You doing okay?

Look...

Gus wouldn't tell me who
my dad was for any birthday

or Christmas or...

any other major, important
holiday, so I don't know why

I thought she would
tell me for my wedding.

You deserve to know.

You know how beautiful
I think you are.

You've mentioned it.

You're the most stunning
first thing in the morning.

And Amanda says that
I tell too many lies.

Hey.

I would never lie about
something like that.

I know.

Do you?

Hmm?

Yeah, I do.

Hmm.

Oh, God!

Oh!

You can do it!

Not one stinking car!

Ahh!

Okay, Sabrina.
You are a New Yorker.

You once found a $10 Gucci bag
at a Jenna Lyons closet sale.

You can do this.

Oh!

Oh!

[yelling]

Ahh! Okay.

[doorbell rings]

She's okay.

Oh, that feels so nice.

I forgot people hugged here.

You must be exhausted.

Oh, there's only so much
my expensive

skincare regimen can do.

Honey.

You are in so much trouble.

Oh.

Oh, yeah. Mm-hmm.

[horn]

? Sometimes you need
a long neck and a short neck ?

Let's go!

Let's go, indeed.

Love to see a businessman up
before the roosters, Frank Jr.

Well I've been listening
to your three-week course

on discovering
the Divine Masculine.

Oh... yeah.

Gonna be exciting.

See your business pick up
after that episode airs.

Yeah, it's been a little
slow to take off.

People just need some time
to acquire a taste

for this chicken.

I'm sorry, Christian.

Hey.

What did I say about sorrys?

Don't apologize.

[in unison] Strategize.

Okay. All right.

So, I pulled a little favor
from the network last night.

I saw an advance cut
of the episode.

No spoilers.

No, this is gonna be
great for you, Frank Jr.

This place is gonna be packed.

But...

technically, Frannie's won.

Right?

No.

Frank Jr.,
you look at me.

Frannie's didn't win.

Frank Jr. won.

Hey.

Frank Jr.
Not Frannie's.

Okay.

Wish my daddy was here
to see this.

Wish my mama was, too.

When the men of the world
see you up on that screen,

they're gonna see a hero.

You know Maya Angelou?

She said that each time a man
stands up for himself,

without even knowing it,
he stands up for all men.

Now it's a quote for a woman,
but I think it sounds better

when applied to a man.

A hero, huh?

Yes, a hero.

This one episode of television
is going to change the lives

of not only you and me,
but of every man watching.

Honey, if you took off
every time your father

said something unsettling,
you'd be living on a plane.

I didn't know
where else to go.

I called Brianna and
then she pretended to be

in Turks and Caicos.

Even though I could hear
the R train behind her.

The R train runs to Brooklyn.

I've been studying the maps.

Oh, look at you,
little New Yorker.

Then I tried Carnegie.

Carnegie? That's new.

No one's named
Jessica anymore, huh?

Carnegie loves to let me vent
and then tell me how lucky

I am that my dad isn't
currently under investigation

for securities fraud.

Well, I'm sorry
that your friends

are insanely unrelatable.

But it is an extreme response

to fly across the country,
honey.

It's not, Mom.

It's just where I feel safe.

You know what Frankie did
when I told her what happened?

She gave me hugs.

And marshmallows.

The jumbo ones.

Well, we were flying in
for Mae's wedding anyway.

And I really can't fly
coach again this soon.

The man seated next to me
clipped his toenails while

making threatening
digestive sounds.

Well, it would be really
nice to have y'all.

The wedding is in two weeks.

We can stay.

But just until the wedding.

[both scream]

Please. Three decibels down.

[squealing]

Is there a limit?

Three per customer.

I need four.

I'm sorry, I have to
ration my supplies.

You can explain that
to my rescue beagle,

who'll be the only member of
my family not representing

the Chicken Sisters.
-Mm-hmm.

Why are there so many
inputs on this TV?

Nancy, might I help
myself to some pie?

[Nancy giggles]

Uh... err... sure.

But I'm afraid that
we're gonna run out.

There might be no pie.

Uh, yeah, no pie.

You okay?

I'm just nervous
about a lot of things.

Oh, don't be nervous.

You know, it'll all
be over soon.

I've got a proposal for you.

Um...

I'll wait till there's
less going on, though.

Yeah, we don't wanna
make a scene in front of

all these people, you know.

The mayor's here?

Yeah, I invited him.

Mayor Carson.

Thank you so much for coming.

Well, I wouldn't miss it,
Nancy.

It's a big deal!

Putting Merinac
back on the map.

Now, I brought you
a little something

to show you
my appreciation.

Well, what is it?

A key to the city.

I'm honored.

Looks like you could open up
a giant's house with this.

[laughs]

Hello, Mayor. Hello.

Look at those hush puppies.

Now, if you'll excuse me,
Miss Nancy.

I'm gonna go get myself
a plate of those.

Oh, my. What is that?

Mama.

[Nancy] I'll get you
some honey butter.

Saved you a seat next to me.

Oh, well, thank you, Mae.

I'm sorry about earlier.

I think it just got to me
when Jay's mom asked

if I was doing
a father-daughter dance.

They're doing this
mother-son thing,

but they can just have their
own moment at the wedding.

Yeah.

And I bet your wedding
is going to be full of

those nice little moments.

Right?

Your eyeliner,
it's so smooth.

It's the pen.

The one I got you?

Yes.

The influence has
become the influencer.

Ooh.

Dudley.

I thought you couldn't come.

Oh, I moved some
things around.

Hey. I'm Linzey.

Oh!

The Linzey from New York.
What are you doing here?

I, uh... came to visit.

Don't you have school?

So, spring semester,
they kinda just, like,

give up in private school.

Oh, I know all about that.

My mom's a Gossip Girl fan.

Oh.

So, um... how do you
know Frankie?

Frankie's my girlfriend.

You came a long way
just to watch a TV show.

[laughs] No, no, no.

My daughter got on
a plane without-

Never mind.
Good to see you, Gus.

Loving the hair.

Nancy did it to me.

Well, you look gorgeous.

All right, that's enough.

[sighs]

Were you expecting someone
else from New York?

[laughs] No.

Just wondering if
Gruster is around.

Oh, haven't you two
been talking?

No, I didn't call. [laughs]

I don't chase.

Oh...

Gruster's dealing with some
family stuff in Glorietta.

Oh.

But he'll be back soon.

[sighs] Okay. Well.

I guess it doesn't matter.

I'll be leaving after
your wedding anyway.

Why can't there be any
handsome, nice men

who aren't afraid of kids
and commitment

in New York City?

Well, there were,
but I took the last one.

Hey, you and Linzey
should stay with me.

Really?

It would be nice to end
the financial hemorrhaging

from this trip.

What's your thread count?

Oh, silk doesn't have
a thread count, per se.

Mmm. I'm in.

[Nancy] All right,
it's about to begin.

Everyone settle down
and listen up.

[crowd chatter]

Come on!

[loud whistle]

Thank you, Gus.

Thank you so much.

I just, uh...

I just wanna thank
y'all for being here

on this special occasion.

As y'all know, Frannie's...

the Chicken Sisters,
is my second home.

And it means the world to me

to have all my friends
and family

here tonight.

Well, most of them.

Anyway, soon everyone in
the world is going to know

what we're serving up
here in Merinac.

Yeah!

[cheers and applause]

To Amanda, my wonderful
daughter-in-law.

Well, actually, my daughter,
who I share with Gus.

Love you, mamas.

Amanda, darling.

Without you, none of this
excitement would've happened.

So... to Amanda!

[crowd cheers]

I wonder if they used any of
the hidden camera footage.

Kitchen Clash doesn't use
hidden camera footage.

Listen, they wanted me
to try something new.

Why didn't you tell us?

Mae, you're in the business.

What is the first thing
you tell people

when they're on these shows?

Read your contracts.

Exactly. And?

[both] No one ever does.

[TV] This week on
Ultimate Kitchen Clash...

All right, it's starting.
It's starting!

[TV] We took our cameras
down south...

[crowd cheers]

to the small town
of Merinac.

[TV] The site of
a hundred year old fight

that's about to be battered,
fried and served up

piping hot.

Two rival restaurants,
Mimi's and Frannie's,

cluck it out to see
who makes the best

fried chicken in Merinac.
-[crowd laughs]

[TV] It's an episode
so intense,

our own host bailed.
-I quit.

[TV] We captured everything,
feather they liked it or not.

The sweet tea?
Not sweet.

From family feuds
to family foes,

there's no shortage
of fowl play.

[TV] What won't these
cock-a-doodles do?

Of course the railroad arm
is still broken.

I can't believe I ever
lived in this podunk town.

Sorry. I'm sorry.
Sorry! I'm sorry!

[TV] Some chickens
cross the road...

But other chickens
crossed the line.

[Narrator] Amanda knew
what happened next but no one else did.

What they were about to
see was gonna hit them

like a runaway train.

[gasps]

[crowd chatter]

[Narrator] But just when y'all
thought it couldn't get worse.

[knocking]

[Narrator] Funny
thing about guilt,

it doesn't have an
expiration date.

Eight months or not, it's time
for this little filly

to pay the piper.
