Original subtitles

You need to step it up.

If you're questioning my dedication,

then maybe we need to have a conversation.

[Sabrina] Previously on Sistas...

Don't play with me.

-What you gonna do, little man? - -- out my face, --!

-What's wrong with you? -Wait, wait, hold on!

Hold up, chill out. What's going on here?

-Momma. -[chuckling]

I, um... I'm ready to hold Faith.

Yeah. A doctor.

And, honestly, Danni, it was so good.

And he even gave me a little souvenir to take home.

-This. -Mmm.

[hip-hop music]

I don't understand how this even got past me.

You know, jealousy doesn't look good on you.

Well, success doesn't either.

What are you talking about, Hayden?

Your bodyguard, Fatima.

She got all kinds of flowers, champagne, designer shit.

I don't ever see you getting gifts like that.

Although, you did get that moldy fruit basket once, huh?

Hayden, you know I really don't have

time for your nonsense today, so...

You can admit it.

You mad Fatima winning.

I'm not mad.

It's my job to make sure that people are doing their job.

And while I'm at it, why don't you scurry off and do yours?

I am loving seeing the little cracks in your sister circle.

It's beautiful, really.

It's funny you bring up friendship when you don't know

anything about it because you don't have any.

[chuckles] You don't know anything about me.

Oh, I can confirm that you're instigating Petty Betty

who likes to stay in women's business.

You can excuse yourself.

Okay. You little green-eyed monster.

But before I go, you're wasting your time

trying to make a case against that doctor.

How do you know about that?

Well, I know everything that goes on at my firm.

Also, he's a dear friend.

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

Oh, did you not know about our relationship?

You poor soul.

[Andi] You know what, Hayden? I'll play along.

How do you know Dr. Cruise?

That's what you want, right? To play?

Oh, I'd love to tell you.

He needed a tax attorney.

So, naturally, Mr. Benson referred me.

He also told me to keep it hush-hush

because it seems like you have it out for him.

Get out.

Now.

Yes, ma'am.

You want to go to Mommy?

Let's go to Mommy, okay?

-You got her? -Yeah.

-Okay. -Wow.

[Karen] You're so perfect.

How did I make something so perfect?

She's so beautiful.

She's the second-most beautiful baby I've ever seen.

You think she looks more like me or Aaron?

Oh, I think she looks like a combination of the two of you.

But she definitely has our smile.

Oh, you're perfect.

Your sister,

she's going to be with you forever.

She'll be with all of us forever.

Hey, Momma.

Um, you think you could give us a moment?

-Absolutely. -Yeah.

You know, I think, if it's okay with you,

I'll take a little nap in your room.

-Okay. -Okay.

You just come get me if you need me.

Okay. Hey.

[emotional music]

Oh.

Yes.

Hey, look at your little fingers.

So beautiful.

[baby coos loudly]

Oh, it's okay, baby girl.

I got you. Come on.

You're okay.

Yeah, you're okay.

Oh, it's okay.

It's okay. It's okay.

-[baby crying] -It's okay.

[shushing]

It's okay. It's okay.

It's all right.

We're okay.

We're okay.

[R&B music]

Mr. Benson, can I have a word?

Mr. Benson, please.

So, Dr. Cruise is a client now?

He needed a good tax lawyer, so, yes,

I recommended someone from our firm to assist.

Okay. Okay.

Since the last time we spoke, I took your advice.

I got more evidence, and this man has been

misdiagnosing and mistreating a ton of black and brown people.

You've already told me, Andi, but now that he's a client--

Yes, I want to bring a lawsuit against him.

[Benson] That's not going to happen.

Andi, let me remind you,

your job is meant to be spent on billable hours,

-not personal projects. -This is not a personal project.

This man is a liability.

Did you know that he has a class action lawsuit

against him in Alabama?

His past involvements have nothing to do with us.

Bradley, Brett Cruise is not even his name.

It's an alias.

And now, all of a sudden, he's over the board of Vanguard.

-Come on. -Andi, please.

Okay.

Bradley, I just need you to see that this is bigger

than a medical malpractice suit.

This is systemic.

This man will ruin this firm.

Listen, whatever conspiracy theory you're chasing

isn't worth jeopardizing the relationship with Dr. Cruise.

We are done here.

[Andi] And what about ethics?

Bradley, morals be damned.

Everything's just out of the window.

You don't even understand what's at stake.

Andi, I like you.

But let me be very clear.

You will let this go.

This whole conversation is way out of bounds.

If you can't sit there and follow orders,

maybe this is not the place for you.

Yo, thanks for having my back back there

with -- Chad, whatever his name is.

Oh, yo, it was... [chuckles]

I mean, your ass was crashing out a little bit,

but it's all good. It was nothing.

You, uh, you talk to Fatima yet?

No. I'ma wait till she tell me about this purse.

You sure that's a good idea?

I mean, maybe she didn't even know about the purse yet.

Rich, you heard him, right?

He said he gave her other shit, right?

-Yeah. -[Zac] Yeah. Okay.

So I ain't know nothing about that. Right?

And Fatima don't leave me in the dark.

Something ain't adding up, bro.

Look, maybe she just didn't care about none of that shit.

That's not the point, though.

You set up a business meeting.

After taking gifts from old boy,

you could at least give your man a heads up, right?

Okay. Okay.

Wait. No, you don't think there's

anything going on between them, right?

It better not be.

Or I'm going to be in the news in the morning.

You know how much a -- K. Richards purse costs?

-Guess. -I don't know. Two, three Gs?

No, that -- dropped six racks on Fatima.

The -- is that?

That's some nasty work right there.

Look, yo, I'm with you.

No man should be buying another man's woman

any type of shit. All right?

-That's crossing every line. -Exactly. It's disrespectful.

Then he got the nerve to try to sell me

on his terrible-ass restaurant business.

What the... [clicks tongue]

Yo, I -- up with Sabrina, man.

What happened?

I -- my best friend's sister, Penelope,

and she caught me mid-act.

Damn.

Yeah, man.

It was all over the juice bar and everything.

What'd you...

Rich, I had two shakes

in that mother-- when I was there.

Yo, yo, yo, yo, you good. Yo, stop crashing on it.

You good. I had this shit disinfected.

I had cleaners in there twice, all right?

That's not the point.

The point is we were already broken up.

Okay, so what you tripping for? You ain't even cheating.

I mean, I just always had

some hope that we'd get back together.

But now she ain't gonna never talk to my ass again.

Not after that.

Yeah, that visual probably gonna

be etched in her brain for the rest of her life, bro.

And the other night I ran into her,

she was with some random --.

Sabrina don't do that, so you really done, bro.

I don't know.

He was kind of corny-looking, though.

All right, what you said.

Maybe it's a little thing.

Maybe I just need some space.

I know Sabrina, man.

She gonna fall in love within a month.

She gonna fall in love within a month.

[light upbeat music]

Girl, this man got the Dr. Hook thing going on.

-You sure he a doctor? -Mm-hmm.

Ooh, he could operate on me anytime.

I can't even believe I'm sharing this with you.

Well, how'd Danni get to see it and I can't see it?

Air drop it to me.

No.

But do you think I should see him again?

Yes.

But only for sex.

Sabrina, do you hear me?

Mm-hmm.

Oh, you lying sap sucker.

I can look at you and tell what you're thinking.

I need to make reservations at Nola Steakhouse

so that we can get more acquainted.

Get out of my head.

You need to be giving some --.

I'm so sorry to interrupt.

Sabrina, those trust numbers, I ran them and they were all,

like, very weird, mostly odd.

Dylan! Oh, my. What are you doing here?

-You should be at work. -Yeah, I'm taking a late lunch.

Oh, you decided to come visit me.

How very sweet and very weird of you.

Tell me, what did you bring me?

This is not for you, P-Dawg.

Hey, Maurice.

Hi, Dylan.

What are you doing here?

Yeah, that is exactly what I would like to know.

Well, I thought I'd bring you something after our conversation

-the other night. -Conversation?

It's a vision board set.

-A vision board set? -[Dylan] Mm-hmm.

-I thought you made good money. -Maurice.

Well, I do.

But, um, you know, we both seemed so unsure

about our futures at the bar.

So, you know, I got us two vision board sets

and, uh, maybe we could do them together over wine.

I mean, Maurice, that sounds a little lame.

Who even does vision boards, Dylan? [chuckles]

-I would love that. -What? Really?

[smooth jazz music]

Uh...

So, Paige, do you want to help me with something really fast?

Uh, yes, I do, but I just need about 15 minutes.

Yeah, the help is still over there.

Okay, but I--

-Beat it, Kirsten Dunst! -Okay.

Are you trying to pace yourself in my future, Mr. Brad Pitt?

[Dylan] Well, maybe I am.

So, when are you free?

How's tonight?

Great.

Why don't you text me your address?

I will.

You eat smothered pork chops?

Oh, I'm gonna eat whatever you make me.

And then ask for seconds.

I think I've made myself.

[light hip-hop music]

[laughing]

No. [chuckles] [munching]

Hey, baby. [chuckles] You back early.

[laughing]

Thought you said you were gonna clean up around here.

I was gonna, but then I got caught up watching this show,

Real Tricks of Indiana.

They got this girl in there named Dedre, right?

And she one of the main hoes,

but then they got this other one of--

I don't care, Tony.

Yeah, but, baby, they're making money in Indiana of all places.

Why don't you move there? Or Alaska.

-What? -[Danni] Hmm?

[chuckles] All right.

Can you turn that down?

[sighs] Okay.

Tony, it looks like a tornado has hit my apartment.

A gluttonous tornado.

And it smells like corn chips.

Are you eating corn chips?

-I mean, I don't smell nothing. -That's the problem.

Okay, look, um...

-I was gonna clean up. -[Danni] Mm-hmm.

You know, but I tried to do it before you got home from work,

-but I guess-- -[Danni] You tried to.

I guess you playing hooky again. You back early, huh?

I called out for the rest of the afternoon,

but now I wish I hadn't.

Well, look, if you home, then, shit,

come over here and cuddle up with your man.

-Baby, get comfortable, shit. -I can't.

I have to meet my cousin and Sabrina for happy hour.

-So... -Oh.

I'm sorry. I guess my invite got lost.

What have you been doing all day besides finding

everything you can eat and not finish it?

Except for my food.

Look, babe, all right, I've just been relaxing, all right?

I just want to enjoy my freedom while I have it, all right?

Oh, I do want to run something by you, though.

You found a job.

You want me to help you freshen up your resume?

No problem. Let's do it.

-Where's my laptop? -No, no, no.

This is even better.

You ready? You want to hear the news?

I'm thinking about renting out my house and moving in with you.

Come again?

I want to move in.

Look, I already put my house up and everything.

That's, that's, that's your news?

Yes. That's the news.

That's the plan. And I already got

a couple people interested in renting already.

It'll help with the cash flow thing.

Look, check out the listing.

Where you going?

[reggae music]

Hello?

This is she.

Yes, hi, Kathy, yes.

I remember you from my last doctor's appointment.

I'm sorry, what?

Zac did what?

Okay, I'm so sorry, that...

No, that is not right.

Yes.

No, listen, Zac had some idea about getting a water birth,

but I thought I made myself clear.

Yes, you can tell doctor

she will be delivering our baby in a hospital.

Okay.

And, for now, please only take instructions from me.

Right.

Yeah, and I will talk to Zac

and, Kathy, I'm sorry for the misunderstanding.

All right, thank you.

-Fatima, you have a moment? -Um, yeah, sure.

Come on in. What's going on?

I just talked to Benson and he told me to drop the Cruise case.

Just flat-out told me that it wasn't worth pursuing.

Andi, I'm so sorry.

But you know how Benson is.

Look, he's all about the bottom line.

I'm sure he'll come back around.

Doesn't matter because I'm going to pursue it anyway.

I'm not letting this go.

We just got to keep it under wraps for now.

You sure about that?

You sure about that?

Yeah, just got to be discreet.

Got it. Okay, got it.

Hey, hey, hey, hey.

[clears throat] Is everything okay?

Um, yeah, yeah, it's just,

it's been a long day and I'm just tired.

Yeah.

Okay, I have my friend hat on.

If something is bothering you,

you know you can talk to me about it.

I'm fine, Andi. I really am.

-Thank you. -You sure?

-[Fatima] Yeah. -All right.

-Don't work too hard. -[Fatima] I'll try not to.

Can't deal with this shit.

[pensive music]

Hey, Karen.

[light suspensive music]

Karen!

[Lisa] Hey, Aaron.

Were y'all sleeping in there?

No, I was just taking a quick little nap.

So where's Karen?

Well, she was right here.

Okay, well now she's gone and Faith is gone.

Did they tell you they were going anywhere?

Mm, no.

Um, she came in and she sat with me,

and it was the first time she was holding Faith and...

Wait, she's not even supposed to be driving yet.

I'm sure she hasn't gone far.

Just give her a call.

[phone ringing]

[Lisa] Oh, here's her phone.

All right, that's strange.

Here are her car keys.

Okay, maybe she just went out for a walk with Faith.

-I'll go check outside. -I'm coming with you.

[hip-hop music]

Hey, Danni girl. I knew that was you.

Hey, what are you doing here?

Same reason you here, child.

I needs a drink.

Shouldn't you be at the shop?

Shouldn't you be at work?

Pam, you don't know my schedule and, first of all,

I took the rest of the day off.

You, on the other hand.

Okay, Miss Feisty.

Girl, Karen is so disappointed in me.

She came up to the shop earlier today, going off.

-Why's she going off? -Because the shop is a hot mess.

Well, Pam, why is the shop a hot mess?

Because I'm only one person.

I'm managing my business, Roots to Riches,

and her business all at the same time.

Pam, that's called multitasking, but go on.

Thank you, girl.

You know that I had to cancel my nail appointment because one

of the stylists came in yesterday, after hours.

What a bitch.

That's exactly what I thought when I saw her.

You know, Pam, if you can't take the heat,

you might need to get out the kitchen.

I can't do that.

I can't leave my girl hanging. She's going through it.

Okay, Pam, if you're gonna do it, then do it.

The shop should be the least of her worries right now.

I know.

I'ma figure it out after this drink.

Wait a minute. What are you doing here?

You have a little date?

No, I'm just meeting Sabrina and my cousin for happy hour.

Oh.

Well, y'all enjoy.

If you need me, I'll be over at the bar.

I mean, I don't think we'll need you,

but, you know, the shop might, right?

The shop is gonna have to be wait.

You never seen me here, right?

-Okay. -Thank you, Danni.

-I got it. -Bye, girl.

[belches] Yo, yo, yo.

This is Zac Attack here.

I know y'all know me, so I just want to say,

it's drinks for everybody here.

Anybody can drink drinks, whatever you want.

You got me?

Ah! Cheers to Zac, baby.

-Ha! Yo, you need to slow down. -[Zac] No.

-For real. -No, I don't need to slow down.

As a matter of fact, what I need to do is speed up.

Yo, can you put two beers

on my tab for me and Baldi Dredd over here?

-[Man] Yes, sir. -Two beers.

Yo, yo, I think you had enough to drink, G.

No, I didn't.

I didn't have enough to drink because it's a celebration.

[slurring] It's a celebration.

See, you finally scot-free.

Me, I got this young rich --

buying my pregnant fiancée expensive gifts.

Man, life is grand.

Look, I know you're going through it right now,

but if you're going to speak to Fatima,

you should probably be sober, G.

Shh. No. I shouldn't be sober.

I should be exactly how I am. You want to know why?

Check this out. I'm a philosopher.

I heard it online somewhere,

but I don't remember where I heard it.

But they say

a drunk heart speaks a sober mind.

-See what I'm saying? -I like that.

But you should probably be in your right mind, G.

Yeah?

No, I should not.

What I should do is tell you to stop telling me

what I should be doing, and take your shot, --.

No, I already had a couple shots.

-I'm good. -No, no, no.

No, no, no, no, no. You not good, you not good.

You see, because you not on my level.

See how you like this? I need you here.

Here. Why you there when you should be here?

As a matter of fact, hey, sweetheart, hey,

you want to, uh, uh, you want to, uh, what is it, K. Richard?

You want a K. Richard bag? I got one in my bag.

It's scot-free. I got one for you.

Yo, Zac, you need to chill now, all right?

No, I need you to stop telling me to chill.

Stop telling me to chill.

You know what I need you to do? I need you to take your shot,

LeBall James.

-[grumbles] -Hit it, baby.

Come on, Hedy Murphy.

-Take the shot. -[Rich] All right.

Yo, what happened to my beers?

I said shots on everybody.

Y'all not even paying attention, man.

[phone ringing]

Hey, Zac.

Hey, hey, Sabrina, this is Rich. Please don't hang up.

Don't hang up.

Rich, why are you even calling?

Why are you calling me on Zac's phone?

I told you stop calling me.

Can you just listen to me for a second?

This better not be any nonsense, Rich,

because I'm going to hang up.

Yo, it's not nonsense, all right?

I'm here with Zac, and he's hammered.

And I want to give him a ride home,

but I don't know his address. Can you help me out?

What? Why is he drunk?

Long story, but he, like, white-boy wasted, for real.

And I don't want him to drive home like this.

And I don't want him to drive home like this.

-So can you help me out? -[Zac] Hm-hmm. I'm black.

So you guys were drinking all day?

[Zac] Black.

Yeah, yeah, but I know my limit.

-He clearly don't know his. -[Zac] I'm a black man.

Does Fatima know?

No, but she's been calling the whole time.

Where are my beers?

Okay, I'm going to text you the address now.

-I appreciate that. -Hey, where are my beers?

All right, we're going to wrap this up.

-Not until I get my beers. -[Rich] All right, you cut off.

Ooh. Okay, boom, last one.

Good stuff. Ooh, look at that.

One, two, three, four. Beautiful.

All right. Oh, okay.

All right, let's go. All right, let's get you.

Let's get you.

Yo, why you grabbing me so rough?

-Hey, hey, hey, hey. -Why you grabbing me so rough?

Yo, you calm down.

Hey, you good. Yo, let's go.

-Hold on, hold on, hold on. -Let's go.

-Hold on. I'll get up by myself. -All right.

All right, you good? All right, this, this--

-Where's my phone? -I got you.

It's right here. I got you.

-It's right here. -I never got them beers, lady.

[phone ringing]

Hey, Chaz. How'd the meeting go?

[Chaz] Oh, you didn't hear?

No, hear what? What happened?

[Chaz] Your man almost got himself knocked out.

-That dude was out of control. -Wait, what?

What happened, Chaz?

[Chaz] He came to the spot talking cash shit

about a purse that I got you.

Wait, what purse?

[Chaz] I got a K. Richard mailed to your crib.

What? Shit. Chaz.

[Chaz] He was talking records like he got something to prove.

We almost threw hands, Fatima. I'm telling you,

you need to deal with your man before I do.

Look, Chaz, you may be too young to understand this,

but you can't be sending gifts like that to my house.

[Chaz] It was just a little baby gift, that's all.

I understand that, but, listen,

my man is not going to look at it that way.

Look, I got to call you back.

-[Chaz] Fatima? -Yeah.

I'm not holding back next time.

[R&B music]

[Fatima] Hey, Sabrina.

-Hey, girl. -Hey, I can't talk right now.

Sorry. I was just calling you to tell you about Zac.

What about Zac?

Apparently, he's really drunk right now.

Drunk? What?

-Where is he? -He's at the bar with Rich,

but he said he's going to take him home.

I just wanted to give you a heads up.

Well, that makes a lot of sense. I've been trying to call him.

Is everything okay?

Yeah. Yeah, it's okay.

Thank you so much, Sabrina. I'll talk to you later.

Okay. No problem, girl.

What the hell, Zac?

[soulful pleasant music]

[Sabrina] Hey, girl.

Am I late?

No. No.

I just thought I'd pregame my own happy hour

since my day just got a lot too weird.

Girl, you just deposited a big old check into your account.

There's nothing weird about that.

This should be celebratory drinks.

-No? -Tony wants to move in.

Oh.

Oh, that's sweet, right?

No.

I don't really run homeless shelters.

You know what I mean?

I'm sure he'll contribute to the rent.

With what money?

He just quit his job, Danni.

He's not broke. Yet.

I'm sure he saved his money.

Yet it's crazy.

But be that as it may, I like my independence, you know?

I want to come home and I want to fart in peace.

Mm-hmm.

Yeah, I mean, you could do that.

But it could also be fun coming home to your man every day.

Coming home to a man that's already home?

Yeah.

Okay. Lies.

Next.

-He could cook you dinner. -[Danni] The -- don't cook.

Next.

You can have unlimited sex.

I get that anyway.

Next.

Um, you won't be bored by yourself.

Have you met me? All I need is myself.

It's a full-on one-woman show.

All right, all right, well, what are you going to tell him?

I don't know.

I just want to try to enjoy a happy hour

with my girl and my cousin.

-Your cousin? -Oh, yeah.

My cousin's coming. Roc.

-Forgot to tell you. -Okay.

Well, anyway, I have some tea.

Please do spill.

So I was here last night and I saw Andi, right?

And she claimed she was getting takeout to take back to work.

You know what that -- told me?

-She had a late night meeting. -[Sabrina] Mm-hmm.

She left me at Karen's.

Yeah, well, she lied to us.

-Yeah. -[Sabrina] Yeah.

Maurice said that he saw her here on a date.

[Danni] With who?

Karen's doctor, Dr. Vaughn.

She's back to that lying.

Yeah. I don't know why she feels

like she needs to hide things from us.

I mean, I do not care who she dates.

She's probably embarrassed

because she's dated every red flag in Atlanta.

Okay, Danni.

No, it's like she wakes up and says,

"What toxic trait haven't I tried out today?

And how can they ruin my life?"

Maybe I should take this from you

because that was not very nice.

I'm never nice. Very naughty.

I just don't like it when she lies to us.

Yeah.

[phone ringing] Why's Aaron calling me?

I don't know. Answer it.

Hey, Aaron.

No, I haven't talked to her since yesterday.

-You talk to Karen today? -No, not today.

Yeah, no.

Sabrina hasn't talked to her either.

Well, Aaron, between me and you, Pam said the shop is a circus,

so she's probably just laying into Pam.

All right. No problem.

What was that about?

He hasn't seen Karen the whole day.

-Hm. -[Danni] Yeah.

Yeah, I saw Pam here, getting a drink earlier.

She's definitely cussing her out.

Oh, that's my cousin.

-No, no, no. That can't be. -[Danni] Over here. What?

-No, no, no, no, no. -Girl, what?

No. That's Mr. Big --.

The man you had sex with earlier.

-Mm-hmm. -[regurgitates] What the hell?

What the hell, Zac?

Yo, why are you so loud?

-You got some explaining to do. -Yeah, so do you.

Zac, you go and take a meeting with Chaz

just to try to fight him

and then go get sloppy drunk in the middle of the day?

I'm waiting, Zac.

What happened with you and Chaz?

What is this?

--, don't be throwing shit at me.

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

You talk all day about loyalty!

Zac, you act like I cheated on you.

Did you?

You know, I'm not doing this with you.

Oh, nah. We doing this.

How the -- you gonna set up a meeting between me and a --

-who's trying to smash? -Zac, he's not trying to smash.

[Zac] Come on, Fatima!

I ain't take you for no -- dumb broad.

Yeah, you might want to sit your ass down.

[tense hip-hop music]

You know what? You know what's even funnier?

You know what? You know what's even funnier?

He told me he sent you other gifts

and you ain't tell me about them.

You know what that means?

You probably wanted to hide them from me too, right?

Zac, I didn't think it mattered.

Look, I'm probably one of many people that got a gift from him.

That's what rich people do. They send gifts as thank you.

Not $6,000 gifts, Fatima!

Just say you like ballplayers, okay?

I'm cool with it.

--, I know you're not trying

to loop me in with some groupie bitches.

-I didn't say that. -No, Zac.

You said that shit loud and clear.

Look, I'm gonna say this to you one time.

I would never entertain another man.

Yes, I should have told you about the other gifts,

but I didn't think it mattered. Hell, I gave them away.

Because you got it like that, huh?

Zac, what are we doing?

We don't even communicate like this.

Communication.

That's something you lack in these days.

Oh, communication? You want to go there?

-Let's go there. -Let's talk about communication.

-Let's -- go there. -Yeah, let's -- go there.

Let's -- go there then. Come on.

Zac, why the hell would you overstep and call my doctor

and say that we were switching to a midwife when I told you no?

I never called your doctor! They called me!

I simply said we were exploring other options.

Wrong again.

We're not exploring other options, Zac!

I told you I wanted our baby delivered in a hospital!

I communicated that to you! Did you get amnesia?

I'm not doing this with you, Fatima.

[Fatima] No, Zac. We're doing this.

My body, my choice!

What the -- does that mean to me?

This is not an Alabama protest. Like, come on.

It's not funny, Zac.

I'm not trying to be funny.

Look, this might be our baby cooking in here,

but I'm the one that's got to deliver it.

And I'd appreciate it if you respected that.

Is that clear enough communication?

Crystal clear.

You got anything else you want to communicate?

No.

You sure you ain't got nothing else you want to communicate

and get off your chest?

Zac, I'm not playing these games with you.

Okay.

You're not playing games, but you had time

to talk to Danni and have a conversation

about my baby, right?

I heard you.

I heard you said you was happy

that it was my baby that died instead of Aaron's.

Zac, baby, I didn't say it like that.

Oh, yeah, you did. Yeah, you did.

Well, did you hear what I said?

I feel like shit for even thinking that.

Does that even matter?

Why don't you just -- admit it?

You were happy that my baby died so that you don't

got to deal with Karen no more in your life.

Yeah.

Zac, I was there every step

of the way for Karen's pregnancy.

I was supportive.

I'm the one that took her to the hospital!

-Did you forget that? -Deflection.

You're real good at that.

You know what?

Zac, I'm not about to argue with a drunk.

-We're not doing it. -So we name calling now?

Getting drunk in the middle of the day,

-- embarrassing.

Where you going?

[Fatima] None of your damn business.

[tense hip-hop music]

Fatima.

Chaz. What are you doing here?

Yeah, I want to know the same -- thing.

[reggaeton music]

So there was nothing I could say after that.

I mean, Vincent and I, we always had an understanding,

but it just feels different.

It's like he didn't even want to have a conversation.

[Vaughn] I'm sorry you had to deal with that.

Being voiceless at work, I mean, it's exhausting.

It makes you question everything.

[sighs] Yeah.

So what are you going to do?

Oh, I'm still going to pursue my efforts.

I can't let it go.

[chuckles] You're a tough cookie, man. I love that.

Uh, how's Fatima?

You said she was a bit off when you left?

Yeah, things have been so weird with us lately.

It's like I support my girl,

but her ambitions to be a lawyer is making her

overstep boundaries and break the rules.

-It's not okay. -Hmm.

Sounds like someone else I know.

So what are you doing tonight?

[sensual music] Bad TV and pasta.

Ah, a little self-care.

You deserve it after the day you had.

[message notification]

Oh, um, this is my food delivery.

I've been waiting for over an hour.

All right. Well, enjoy.

-I'll talk to you later. -Okay, will do.

Send them up.

My food is finally here.

Hmm. Perfect.

What the hell are you doing here?

Shit.

Okay, this is not good. This is not good.

-Where is she at? -Aaron, calm down.

We're going to find her.

We've looked everywhere. All right?

Should we call the cops or something?

No, not yet. Hold on. [message notification]

Hold on.

I don't understand why she would leave.

Okay. I got a text from Zac.

Yeah, he hasn't seen her yet either.

- --. -All right.

-And you already talked to Pam? -Yeah, nothing.

Right? And I spoke to Danni and Sabrina.

They haven't heard from her either.

Okay. And what about Andi?

She didn't answer.

[Lisa] All right, I'll call her.

[Aaron] Where is she? Where is she?

What is that?

She left a note?

-It looks like it. -Well, what's it say?

-Hm-hmm. -Oh, shit.

Wow. This was unexpected.

Are you two friends?

So, Dr. Roc right here.

Wait, wait. Doctor?

That's a lie.

I know you -- lying. You out here lying?

Danni, it is so lovely to see you.

I'll have to tell Mother that I saw you.

This is what we doing now, Roc? Huh?

Oh, my God.

[Roc] You know what?

I don't want to interrupt

your whole girlfriend thing y'all got going on.

Plus, I have to see a patient, anyway.

You mean a prison mate? Hmm?

Prison mate?

Sabrina, I'll chop it up with you later.

-Danni? -[Roc] Yeah.

[Roc] Danni?

[groans] Oh, my God.

I didn't know y'all were cousins?

Is this weird?

What's weird

is that you showed me...

-Ah, shh. -Ugh.

-Ah. -Ugh.

I'm sorry. [phone ringing]

-I'm going to stop sharing. -This is Aaron.

Aaron? [clears throat]

[Aaron] Uh, we have a problem.

Put it on speaker.

[Aaron] Karen has gone with Faith and she left a note.

She left a note? What did it say?

[Aaron] It says, "I can't do this.

It's time to end this chapter."

"End this chapter"?

Maybe she took Faith on a little trip.

[Woman] Next on Sistas...

Hey, how can Karen do this?

Don't come down so hard on her, okay?

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.

I have never cleaned like this before in my life.

And now for a white man?

Gary, what the hell are you doing here?

Andi, I promise I come in peace.

I know you -- lying.
