You're wasting your time

trying to make a case against that doctor.

I actually just had dinner with him and his lovely wife.

Get out. Now.

[Zatima] Previously on Sistas .

That's a $6,000 purse, Fatima!

Zac, you act like I cheated on you.

Chaz, what are you doing here?

I want to know the same -- thing.

My food is finally here.

What the hell are you doing here?

-[Aaron] So where's Karen? -[Lisa] She was right here.

-[Sabrina] She left a note? -[Aaron] It looks like it.

The note, what did it say?

[Aaron] "I can't do this. It's time to end this chapter."

[instrumental R&B music]

I'm confused.

What does she mean by "end this chapter"?

[Aaron] I don't know, all right? She took Faith, too.

Well, have you tried the salon?

[Aaron] I already talked to Pam. She isn't there.

Where else could she be?

Wait, I'm sorry, Aaron. What did the note say again?

[Aaron] "I can't do this. It's time to end this chapter."

You don't think?

No, no, no. Don't even think like that.

She's been through a lot. She would never do that.

I don't know.

[Aaron] That's the thing, all right?

None of us know the severity of what she's dealing with.

All right? We're not in her head.

I can't even imagine the heaviness.

I mean, the postpartum. Her losing Forever.

Aaron, have you tried Andi?

[Aaron] Yeah, but she's not picking up.

What about Zac?

[Aaron] He's not picking up either.

-What does that mean? -OK, Aaron, we're on the way.

Don't worry, OK? We're going to find her and Faith safely.

Hang in there.

[Aaron] All right, I'll see you soon.

-What? -Yeah, something's off.

No, we, uh, look, maybe she took Faith on a little trip, right?

To get her bearings. Or maybe to connect with her privately.

I don't know.

I mean, the fact of the matter is the girl is depressed.

The past few years have been so rough on her.

I mean, to carry a baby to term and then lose it on top of--

No, no, come on, Danni. I don't even want to think about it.

-We just need to go. -Right, I know.

Check, please.

But don't think that I've forgotten

that you're sleeping with my nasty--

Can we just focus on Karen?

[Danni] All right, fine. I'm going to try Andi.

OK.

Yes.

Gary, what the hell are you doing here?

-I came here to see you. -I don't want to see you.

-I just want to talk to-- -Stop right there! Do not move.

-Andi, listen to me. -Gary, I said go.

OK, I will call the police on you.

-No, no, no, no. -Yes, I will!

-Andi? -What are you doing here?

How did you even get in my house?

Let me explain, OK? Your...

Your doorman told me that you told him to let me up.

[Andi] I thought you were my food delivery.

-OK, stop. OK? -What? What is it?

I just want to talk. No threats, no drama, no blackmail.

Just a simple conversation.

Gary, you have caused enough stress in my life.

I do not want to see you.

And talking is not going to do shit.

Andi, I promise I come in peace.

Peace? That's the thing, Gary. You never come in peace.

There's always something with you.

There's nothing to discuss. So go.

Please? I just need five minutes,

and you won't hear from me again. I promise.

♪ My girls hold me down when them boys mess around ♪

♪ When my love life is a headache ♪

♪ We're going out tonight ♪

♪ 'Cause I'm looking for love ♪

[Gary] Please, Andi, let me just get five minutes.

Anything you say, Gary, is going to fall on deaf ears.

I deserve that.

But I just... I just need you to hear me out. OK?

-I want to make this right. -You'll never make it right.

Five minutes and you can write me off

for the rest of your life.

[intense, atmospheric music]

Tick tock.

Um... Can I sit down?

No. We'll stand right here.

Look, I know I'm probably

the worst human being that you know.

And I've done more damage in this world than good.

Finally, something we agree on.

But my biggest regret... is how I tried to control you.

I was a jealous, violent, narcissistic asshole

who treated you badly. And I truly am sorry for that.

And don't forget master manipulator.

You're right.

Gary, this is the same thing you always say.

You're like a broken record at this point.

No, no, no. Listen, this time--

No! Do not get near me. I am serious.

Look, I put your life in danger more times than you deserved.

And I hate that I did that to you.

Do you?

Because it felt like you enjoyed seeing my pain.

I was stupid.

You were maniacal, psychotic, and a complete imbecile.

It's fair. I deserve all of that.

And I know we may never be friends or even cordial,

but you have to understand, I needed to make this right.

I needed to get this off my chest.

Of course you did.

So that I can forgive and forget like I always used to do.

Right? Right?

No, I knew it wasn't going to be that easy.

Andi, I don't expect you to forgive or forget.

I'm just here to apologize for all the pain and hurt

that I've caused in your life.

You know, when I... When I look back at our life...

At one point, it... It was beautiful.

I mean, wouldn't you agree?

I just love you so much.

[Gary] You miss me?

Like you wouldn't believe.

[romantic R&B music]

-What are you doing here? -I wanted to surprise you.

Thank you.

-Say you love me. -You know I do.

-I'm here for you. -Yeah.

-Hey, baby, what happened? -Hey.

[music continues]

[Andi moans]

That was awesome.

Will you marry me?

[giggles]

-You are so good for me. -[Andi giggles]

Things were so different back then--

No, no, no. I am not going to reminisce with you, Gary.

OK. I just, I'm just here.

I'm hoping that you can find it in your heart to...

To talk to the man that I was, and not the man that I became.

Gary, I don't have anything to say.

Honestly, Andi, you don't have to say a word.

You don't owe me anything.

Listen, part of dealing with my demons

is acknowledging the damage that I've done.

Andi, you deserved better then. And you deserve peace now.

[Andi sighs]

Although I appreciate your acknowledgment

of the destruction that you caused in my life,

of the destruction that you caused in my life,

it doesn't change a thing, Gary.

I know.

And listen, I'm just... I know it may take some time.

Or you just may never get over the terrible things that I did.

I'm just here to try to make things right

and right my wrongs,

and I will do the same thing with your friends.

[instrumental hip hop music]

[intense, atmospheric music]

Like I said, what the -- you doing here? Are you deaf?

[Fatima] Zac...

--, I ain't come here for you. I came to talk to Fatima.

See, what you don't seem to understand

is that this is my -- house.

This is my driveway, and that's my woman.

You got something to say to her, you can say it to me.

[Fatima] Zac, Zac, Zac.

Yo, you really think I'm supposed to be scared

-of your little goofy ass? -Goofy?

--, I will fold your lanky ass up.

Don't play with me. I swear, don't play with me.

-[Fatima] Zac, Zac, Zac. -What's up? What's up?

-Please, please, please, Zac. -Fall back, man.

You got one more, --. One more.

-Hey, hey, hey! ---, you at my house!

Zac! Chaz, seriously, what are you doing here?

I came to check in with you.

After our last call, you seemed a bit unsettled.

Yeah, because you sent an expensive gift to my house,

-knowing I have a man. -Tell him.

And you. Pretending to take a meeting with him

-just to try to fight him? -Clown.

[Zac] Don't flip this shit. This -- know he wrong.

He shouldn't have sent nothing to this house.

You can get hurt like that.

Zac, you're right, OK? Can you please just let me

handle this with Chaz privately, please?

Girl, you done lost your mind

if you think I'm leaving you here with this cornball.

Zac, Zac, please. Zac, he is my client.

Just let me handle this professionally, please?

Yeah, go to your little house, little dude.

You got one more "little dude," before I handle you, bro.

[Fatima] Both of you, just chill! Please! OK?

Zac, just, can you please--

What you standing over there for?

You think I'm worried about you?

I ain't worried about you, --. What you looking at?

That's supposed to scare me? I look scared of you?

I got heat inside, too. What's up? Do I look nervous?

Two clowns.

[Fatima] Zac.

Chaz, listen, you should have called.

Popping up at my house is not the move.

Look, I know. I really just wanted to check on you,

make sure you was good.

And I was gonna take the purse back

since I knew it caused some drama.

Chaz, yes, it did, but that still didn't warrant a visit.

You should have called first.

Chaz, listen,

you and I have a professional relationship only.

That's it. I need you to respect that.

[Chaz] I got you.

But I do low key like you, Fatima.

Chaz, I need you to high key not like me, OK?

Look, you're crossing multiple boundaries right now.

-Here's your -- bag. -Oh, Zac. Seriously, come on.

Yo, you are one insecure dude, you know that?

And you one thirsty dude, you know that?

Whatever, man. Fatima, I'ma holla at you.

-No, you won't. -Goofy-ass --.

Give that shit to a broke --.

Or a --. I know y'all ballplayers be living.

Or you could take it since y'all a couple.

Looks nice on you.

Look at you getting the door like a good boy.

-Get the door, good boy. -[Fatima] Zac.

[Zac] I wish you would pull a gun out on me again.

That'd be the last time you pull a gun out. Stupid ass.

How you got security and security's smaller than you?

[sighs]

Well, I see I got on my maid outfit like I always do.

I've never cleaned like this before in my life.

And now for a white man? When is this race work?

When is this The Help ?

Wonder if I'm Mae Mobley.

I'm is kind, I'm is smart...

-I'm is important. -[knock on door]

On time.

I'm fashionably late. I'm Black.

He gonna have to learn that. Coming!

What I hope I'll be doing tonight.

Maurice, don't be a ho.

You are not Sabrina. You are cute.

One second!

-What's up, Maurice? -Hi, come on in.

Brought some wine. Hope you like white.

All of the sudden, I love white.

Sorry I couldn't clean up. I was rushing. Mess in here.

Looks clean to me. Nice digs.

Thank you. Well, make yourself comfortable.

Smells like heaven in here. What's cooking?

Oh, nothing. Just a few leftovers.

A little collard greens and cornbread.

A little candied yams, a little potato salad.

Fried chicken, peach cobblers, and a few slices of ham.

Damn. My stomach is ready.

Oh my God, the white man got a 12-pack.

-What was that? -I said crack is wack!

Oh.

You hungry? Oh my God, you wanna watch TV? I love TV.

What you watching on TV? We don't have to watch TV.

We can just sit here and pray.

We can hang out. We don't have to do anything.

-It's cool. -You thirsty? I'm thirsty.

You want a shot? Wanna take a shot?

-Back shot? -We should just hang out.

You know? Do you mind if I use your restroom?

Please. Yes. No. I don't mind if you use the restroom.

It's the first door on the left.

Bet. I'll be right back.

Bitch, you got to get it together.

That man's family owned your ancestors.

Sit up straight for Harriet Tubman!

If I see one white man pubic hair on that toilet,

I'm gonna throw up in my mouth.

[unsettling music]

Hey, y'all.

-[Danni] Hey, she here? -[Pam] Who, Karen?

No, Santa. Yes, Karen.

No, Lisa and Aaron went to look for her.

OK, then where did she go?

Lisa's checking different hospitals,

and Aaron's driving around to some of her favorite spots

to see if she went there.

Well, did you even talk to Karen today?

-Yeah, earlier. -Well, how did she sound?

The same. Depressed as hell. You know, trying to maintain.

Well, is that the note? Can I see it?

Yeah.

Oh, my gosh. I don't have a good feeling about this.

Mm-mm. I refuse to believe the worst.

Honestly, guys, I think Karen is fine.

How can you be so sure, Pam?

I'm not sure, but think about it.

Karen is not gonna do anything

to herself or to that sweet little baby.

-OK, then where is she? -Where's Andi?

-You call her? -Fine.

-[phone rings] -She's still not answering.

All right, well, we gonna pop up on her then.

[Sabrina] Yeah. Let's go then.

Can you check Karen's social media?

Maybe she liked or posted something. I don't know.

[Danni] It would give us a clue.

A clue? Girl, this ain't a scene from Scandal ,

and I ain't no Olivia Pope.

Oh, that's for certain, Pam, but could you do it anyway?

Fine.

-Come on. Let's go. Let us know. -All right.

Child, I'm gonna order me some wings first.

[car speeds away]

Fatima, why this -- know where I live?

Zac, I don't know. Look, he's a celebrity.

I'm sure it wasn't hard to find our address.

Yeah, I still find it very funny

that he feel comfortable popping up to my house.

Your house? Zac, this is our house. I live here, too.

Semantics. Why does he feel so comfortable?

I don't know, Zac. I never told him to come here.

I don't know, y'all seem close.

Your breath, please. About to make me vomit.

-My breath is not that bad. -Yes, it is.

Has he ever disrespected you, Fatima?

Zac, look, he's a young, immature basketball player.

I'm sure he flirts with any woman he can,

but no, he hasn't done anything super disrespectful.

That's not what I asked you. Has he ever disrespected you?

OK, yes, he has flirted, Zac, OK?

But I always put him in check,

and baby, you have nothing to worry about, as usual.

Fatima, I don't want to ever hear about him ever again.

And if he ever pops up here, I'm popping him.

Are we done?

Yes. Now you can go back inside.

Inside? --, you act like we wasn't just arguing inside.

--, I'm still mad.

Do I look like I care? Do I look like I care at all?

Like I told him, you my woman, and you going inside our house.

Oh, and it's our house now? OK. Glad we got that understanding.

[Aaron sighs]

-Did y'all find him? -No, and we looked everywhere.

I just don't... Did you order wings?

Uh, yeah, I was hungry,

and y'all ain't got nothing in that refrigerator.

Anybody call?

No, but Danni and Sabrina stopped by.

What'd they say?

They said they were going to go over to Andi's

and see if she's over there.

OK. OK, good. Yeah, maybe she, uh, yeah,

maybe she went over there and fell asleep or something. Right?

Yeah. Maybe.

I think Karen is in the hood

tearing up some crab legs and garlic butter with Faith.

I think I know my daughter, Pam,

and I guarantee you she is not in the hood with Faith.

I'm just trying to be optimistique.

-Do you mean optimistic? -Yeah, that word.

Go ahead, Mama Lisa, with the vocabulary.

Should we call the cops or something?

Yeah, maybe.

I think I'm gonna go back to the salon.

All right, I think that's a good idea.

And if she calls, let us know, OK?

You got it. And Mama Lisa? Stay optimistic.

[Lisa] OK.

-[Aaron sighs] -[door closes]

I tell you what, I guess if Karen's not at Andi's,

then let's go ahead and call the police.

OK. Yeah.

I mean, how can Karen do this?

All right? It's inconsiderate, it's irresponsible,

I mean, it's damn near crazy.

All right, look, just don't come down so hard on her, OK?

I get it, it's just, that's my baby out there.

I get it, it's just, that's my baby out there.

You know what I mean?

And I don't know how I can trust Karen right now,

because you know how she's been lately.

All right? She hasn't spent as much time with her.

I mean, she hasn't even breastfed her.

All right, you know what?

Once again, cool it with putting down Karen, all right?

Stop judging her. I just don't want to hear it right now.

I'm stuffed. Who taught you how to cook like that?

My two aunties. They would always say,

"Maurice, you have to learn how to cook for you and your wife."

Little did they know, I'm the wife.

Well, now you can, uh, cook for your hubby, right?

If there's any hubby to have, then I will be kept,

and we can leave the cleaning and cooking

to maids and butlers and people like your sister, Paige.

So I guess your family's cool with you being gay?

[chuckles] They don't have a choice.

I've been gay since the embryo.

Same.

Um, I've had, like, two long relationships with women,

but you know, I always knew what I really wanted.

Hm. Something longer and stronger.

It's more than just sex.

You know, I'm naturally more drawn to men.

Mmm.

So, are you out to your parents? Have you come out?

Yeah, last year.

My folks are still trying to understand why.

Yeah, please.

They will take forever and a day trying to crack that code.

I know, right? Oh, I almost forgot.

-Vision boards. You ready? -Ouija boards? Mm-mm.

I don't know what kind of white witchcraft you got going on,

but not in my house.

[Dylan] Remember, that's the reason I'm over here?

You promised to do them with me.

Oh, yeah. Vision board. All right.

It's not New Year's Eve, is it?

Come on, Maurice. I brought a ton of magazines to cut from.

There's even some banking ones in there, too.

Banking?

Well, yeah. I assume you want to do something in banking

since you work there.

[chuckles]

Brookhaven is a survival job.

There's no way I can find the capacity

to think about other people's money

when I don't have any of my own.

OK. So, what are you passionate about?

Passionate about...

Sleep.

Tequila.

Sleep.

-Facials. -Mm-hmm.

And outdressing Sabrina. That's about it.

OK. So, I guess I can see you working in fashion or beauty.

True. I am fashion and beauty.

And I have friends who work in the industry.

It's a very gay thing to do.

How about you take this? It's a beauty magazine.

-Hmm. -Should we, um...

Should we also add a wedding band...

-[laughs] -...to your board?

Dylan, please.

What? You don't want to get married?

I don't... I don't know.

I think about it sometimes.

Maybe I'll get married when I'm 50.

50 years from now.

I don't know. I just have always been by myself.

I've been doing me.

So, what are your dating goals?

I don't think I know what those are either.

Well, what are you looking for?

I guess the guy would have to be cute.

And manly.

Thoughtful.

Funny.

Big.

Trust fund.

You know what?

I think I have somebody for you.

[sensual instrumental music]

Um... There's more I'd like to share.

First, um, how are you?

You did witness my wife get shot and killed.

[Jasmine] Did you miss me?

Jasmine, I thought you were in prison.

Well? Bitch, you were wrong.

-[Andi] Jasmine. -Andi, are you OK?

Don't start that shit, Gary!

[intense instrumental music]

You think that you can just throw me off a parking garage

and everything's gonna be OK? I'm just gonna let it slide?

I'm finally gonna get rid

of both of y'all once and for all.

And me and my man here, we're gonna go to Cuba,

or some tropical island where there's no extradition treaty.

What about our kids?

Now you wanna worry about our kids, Gary?

Now you wanna worry about them?

Don't! They're gonna be well provided for,

courtesy of all the cash

that you embezzled from your clients.

Ain't that right, baby?

Will you just shut the -- up already?

-What? -[gunshot]

Oh, my God! Hudson, please, you don't have to do this!

-Shut up! Shut up! -[Gary] What are you doing?

I'm better now.

I'm sure that was hard for you as well.

Yeah, um, I had to jump right into therapy after that.

I still can't believe that...

Well, uh...

She was the absolute worst.

But...

She still was the mother of my kids.

I'm sorry for your loss.

That night was scary for the both of us.

Mm-hmm. And that night could have been prevented

if you would have left me the hell alone.

I know.

So what happened, Gary? That's what I'd like to know.

What do you mean?

You turned into a gangster.

Money laundering, hit men, drugs, the cartel, guns.

What happened?

I think I was just tired of being nice.

Nice never got me anything I truly wanted.

So you decided to become a supervillain.

And what now, Gary?

I'm ashamed. But...

The old Gary is gone.

And I don't ever want to see that version again.

I...

I came close to death twice, Andi.

I shouldn't be here. I should be six feet under.

And yet you are. We both are.

And I think it's just best we move on.

Yeah.

Speaking of, um...

I wanted you to be the first to know that...

I'm... I'm leaving.

I'm gonna go to Ghana with my kids in two days.

Wow.

Yeah, um...

You know, I just need to get away from here.

And start fresh. You know, something new.

Different. Just...

Get away from anything tempting.

Good for you, Gary.

Andi, I just need to get my life in order.

That's what I'm gonna do. So...

This visit wasn't just me coming to apologize to you.

It's also my farewell.

[elevator door opens]

-I know you -- lying. -[Gary] Oh, dear God.

Danni, it's not what you think it is.

It's not?

Listen, I didn't come here to start any trouble.

-Oh, you didn't? -No.

Because I got something for you. We could start some trouble.

[Gary] Just give me a chance to explain?

No, it's OK. Let him explain, Andi. Let him talk.

Danni, I can explain. If you would just give me a moment.

-Mm-hmm. -Just please put the vase down.

-Just, come on. -Oh, thank you.

Yes. There we go.

Andi, I know you're not this dumb.

I know it. You went to college. You're a lawyer.

Danni, we were just talking.

We were just having a conversation.

Just... No one's talking to you.

-OK. Um... I'm gonna take off. -Mm-hmm.

For what it's worth, I truly am sorry

for all the pain that I've caused all of you. And, um...

I hope that you find it in your heart to forgive me one day.

Take care, Andi.

[soft melancholy music]

[Zac] Some -- bullshit.

I didn't even do nothing this time, man.

Blame it on Zac.

[phone vibrates]

Hello?

What?

Hold on, hold on, hold on. Calm down, calm down.

Is she where?

So y'all don't know?

When's the last time you seen her?

All right, all right, all right. Don't... Just don't worry.

I'm pretty sure she's fine.

Let me just... I'll be over there in a second.

No, I'm gonna come help y'all look.

All right.

I'm not even trying to go to jail.

[soft, melancholy music]

[glass hits table loudly]

[Andi] I already know what you're thinking.

And as I said, I can explain, and I will explain.

I...

You're not talking. Explain.

He came by to talk and apologize because he, uh, needed closure.

-Needed closure? -Yes.

You needed closure or he needed closure?

-I guess we both did. -Mm-hmm.

How much closure do you need for this tragic love story?

Danni, do you want me to be mad at this man

for the rest of my life?

Absolutely. You know Karen's missing.

I'm sorry, what? What?

Missing. Can't find her. Not answering her phone.

Like, no one sees her. Missing.

How could I have not known? Why didn't anyone tell me?

Because you weren't answering your phone

'cause you were getting closure with ashy-ass Gary.

OK. That was a bit petty.

And I listened to his apology because...

I wanted to.

You know what? I wanted to. I'm an adult. I wanted to.

And some things are nobody's business.

Mm-hmm.

Like it's not our business you -- Dr. Vaughn?

What? Why would you say that?

Because you told us you had a meeting,

but you actually went on a date with Dr. Vaughn.

But, you know, do you. It's your business.

OK, first of all, you're wrong. I am not -- Dr. Vaughn.

Secondly, it was kind of sort of a meeting, date situation.

It was for Karen. Anyway, that's not the point.

I don't have to tell y'all everything that's going on

-in my life is the point. -Point made.

But you've been doing a lot of lying and I don't like liars.

It was a meeting! I... OK. I don't lie.

Do I have to run back all the lies? All of them, Andi.

They literally got our lives in danger.

They got me interrogated by the police!

So you're Mrs. Perfect. Is that what you're saying?

You know I'm not saying that.

Where is Karen? Does no one have a tracker on her phone?

Her phone is at the house. She ain't take it with her.

OK. Does Aaron have the baby? What the...

She has the baby, too.

Oh my God. Aaron must be sick.

OK. And she didn't tell anyone where she was going.

I got an idea. I got an idea.

Just let's not panic. She went for a ride.

She loves rides. She loves to just go out on the town.

She's been through a lot.

So maybe she's just getting away from everyone.

She still can't drive and her car is still at her apartment.

OK. I have someone I can call.

I know an officer personally and I can--

Of course you know an officer personally.

What is going on? What is this jealousy thing?

Is this difficult for you that I can pick up the phone

and call someone and it just happens to be a man?

Is that... What's going on?

I knew you were a narcissist, but this is next level.

I'm not jealous of all these men, Andi.

But since you can just pick up and call a man,

call Dr. Vaughn, too. He might know something.

You know what? I'm gonna go.

See if Sabrina found anything out.

Someone who actually gives a damn about Karen.

-Well, I'm going, too. -Well, take your own car.

Fine.

[tense music]

[Lisa] Yeah, she's an itty-bitty thing. She's 5'2".

Mm-hmm. Yeah, she was wearing a black sweater,

possibly a black jacket. I'm not sure.

possibly a black jacket. I'm not sure.

Uh... Dark brown hair. Faith, yes, she's a newborn.

And tell them that we can send them a picture of her and Faith.

And we can send you guys a picture of both of them.

[knock on door]

Oh, it's you.

Damn, good to see you, too, light skin.

Oh, I'm sorry, bro. Come on in. Man, I thought you were Karen.

Nah.

[Aaron] You still haven't heard from her?

No, but I'm here to help any way I can.

I appreciate that.

You had an eventful night?

What you mean?

Man, you smell like a bar, bro.

I do? Damn, --.

Is everything all right?

You could say it's been a long night, bro.

But that's not why I'm here.

I'm here for Karen, so what's up?

I appreciate that.

Lisa's on the phone with the cops right now.

Cops... Where have y'all checked?

Everywhere. Hospitals, the playground.

All right? We checked the salon, her favorite restaurants.

I mean, we even went to the cemetery.

Why would y'all go to the cemetery?

Oh. Forever.

Yeah. Yeah. And we didn't see her there, either.

Well, Lisa said something about some note she left?

Yeah.

[Aaron] Do you know what it means?

"End this chapter," like what?

Yeah. You see why I'm freaking out?

Yeah, I do, man. What the --, Karen?

I don't know.

Like, Karen's not the type to harm herself or, like,

hurt the baby. You know what I'm saying?

Look, I can see why you'd say that.

But, man, I've been with her these past few days, Zac.

It has been rough, man.

I feel you, but Karen built different, bro.

Like, she got it in here to deal with this.

It's just like a lot of us,

she probably just needs some time for herself.

I don't know, man. I think that note says otherwise.

I mean, you don't think it would

have something to do with you, do you?

[Aaron] You don't think it would

have something to do with you, do you?

Me? Nah. Our chapter been done.

Like, I could promise you that.

Yo, you good, bro?

I feel like I'm, I'm out of ideas, man. I don't know.

All right. We got this. We got this. Um...

What is "I can't do this"? Like, are you the "this"?

Like, did y'all have an argument or something?

No, man. No, it's nothing like that. All right?

I came home. Karen was gone. The baby was gone.

I don't know where they went.

I just started looking everywhere.

No one's giving me an answer. I don't know, bro. Like--

OK. OK. All right. I'm just asking questions.

Look, I've known Karen for a long time.

And it's not like her to just like leave like that.

No, I'm telling you, man. This is a whole different Karen.

All right? She is not the same right now.

[Aaron sighs]

I don't want to think, but maybe she, uh...

Hey, don't. Hey. Hey. We not going to do that.

If there's one thing we going to do, it's not that.

OK? Karen is perfectly fine. And so is your daughter.

-Yo, come on. -Yeah. Yeah. Thank you, man.

I don't want to go there. [exhales deeply]

[dramatic instrumental music]

[Sabrina] Where did you park?

-Oh, down the block. -OK.

Yeah, so you can sneak off and nobody notices.

I parked there because I can do what I want.

I'm an adult, Danni.

Yes, Santé, you can do what you want, because you're an adult.

OK, guys. Please. Can we focus? This is about Karen.

OK. I see her car is still here.

-Yeah, yeah, I know. -We told you that.

And I talked to Pam.

But she said she didn't see her at the salon,

-so she left for the night. -[phone vibrates]

-Oh, this is Dr. Vaughn. -Put it on speaker.

OK.

Um, hi, Dr. Vaughn.

[Dr. Vaughn] Sorry I didn't answer earlier.

I had a delivery.

Yeah, that's no problem. I just need two moments of your time.

That's good. So how's your quiet self-care night going?

-It was interrupted. -Yeah, by a crazy ex.

It was interrupted. My friend Karen, uh, she's gone missing,

and we don't have a clue where she is.

Really? When did that happen?

Since early evening. Um, she has the baby with her, Dr. Vaughn.

Well, has anyone called the police?

Yes. But I was thinking

since you're her doctor that maybe you could tell me--

Andi, Andi, I wish I could,

but I can't discuss the details of Ms. Mott's case with you.

Of course.

But did she say anything that was alarming?

She's a grieving mother.

A lot of women grieve differently.

I mean, she seems like a resilient woman to me,

but you know her better than I do.

That's, uh... That's all I can say.

So he has nothing.

[Vaughn] Look, um, I gotta go. I'll call you back, all right?

-[Andi] Will do. -All right.

[sighs]

-Come on. -OK.

[soft, melancholy music]

[crickets chirping]

This fool.

[phone vibrates]

Who is this?

Hello?

Karen?

they're going to have to issue an Amber Alert.

[Danni] Next on Sistas .

You the main one always telling me to communicate!

Now you out here moving like I ain't shit!

You know, Fatima's a good one, right?

Fatima, --, you my friend.

I'm telling you. I ain't got no room on my couch, negro.

OK, well, I was gonna say me moving in, but...

[sips loudly]

Which you never gave me your thoughts about that.

[Danni] Mm-hmm.

In fact, you didn't really say anything.

Big news. Mm-hmm.
