Original subtitles

Previously on The Real Housewives of Atlanta.

Y 'all look beautiful.

Love our ties, even though it's spelled incorrectly.

Every time I have an event, you are the ones that talk about it. Face of

business.

That's my baby.

Tanya, she's a four -time gold Olympic medalist sprinter.

You know I'm taking the gold baton.

She's new to Atlanta.

You like me?

Always.

My husband, he did bring in an assistant. She had texted him, I'll come

house and give you a massage.

Yes, please.

So at the time, my back, I mean... What was the reply? What did the text say? It

was like, man, you know I'm a guy.

Look what she posted. To whom it may concern, if I want to, I will.

Would you say that that message was for me?

I ain't never skipped a beat or a bag.

I keep you on the edges of your seat.

I always had the juice, but now I've got that peach.

You're always living in the moment when you are the moment.

Spring, summer, or September, I'm the one you always remember.

I may be a rookie, but this isn't my first race.

My pot set is here.

Mama Dearest, I got something for you.

All this come with the pot set?

Yeah, I'm surprised too. Okay.

Beyond the pot set, we brought back some jerk sauce from Jamaica.

So you can cook in some jerk fish.

What y 'all talking about?

Shaggy food!

Look here.

I don't know what this is for.

So this must have to be for show.

Nobody here cooks for me. This is what I'll cook with.

I moved my family to Atlanta because I love being around my family. There are

nine people living in the house. Me, Ross, and Deuce, of course. My mom and

And my sister is finally here with her husband and their two boys.

The house is definitely crowded.

What are you going to make? I'm going to make you a fried egg.

Listen. Breakfast, my specialty.

I've got to put some food in the oven.

Our plans to be together for about a year, and I'm hoping they'll choose to

in Atlanta permanently.

I lean on them for so much. They help with duty, especially when work is so

for me and Ross. I can't do life without y 'all. I find that unfortunate.

My sister is actually my hairstylist. My mom still manages me. Having them in

Atlanta is going to give me everything I need to take the world by storm.

Mom, mom, can I get a pasty, please?

This stuff be running out quick.

Mom, you come from Jamaica, you bring pasties, and I have not had one, and the

box is gone.

But it's more than one box. So what's your fussing about then? You guys have

eaten the whole damn box, and nobody has offered me any pasties.

My mom took a trip to Jamaica and brought back beef pasties. And everybody

their own box. My box, Shari's box, Mom's box. And we don't want to share

boxes. Not my box. You're eating pasties for breakfast.

Wait, hold on, hold on, hold on, hold on. This is Daddy.

Oh. So relax. Okay.

These are the things that I was concerned about prior to coming here. I

want to be scrutinized. I don't want to be asked no questions, and I don't want

to be told what to do.

I don't know what more I want from you. When you say that, what do you mean?

There didn't need to be a party conversation.

What? I don't have no party problems with you guys.

I just know I go to take out a party, and all of a sudden it's like, oh, my

party, my party, my party.

Seriously, if we just say one little thing to you, you take it like we are

big, big offense.

Next time I go to Jamaica, I won't bring back. No, that's all. That's fine, Mom.

That's fine.

How are you feeling about being in Atlanta?

It has to become my norm, you know? Yeah. Got to get used to it.

Going from being in my own home and having my own space, my own routine.

Wasn't that all of us, though?

Well, she asked me. Why are you acting like you were the only one who had your

own space? Mom.

You were the only one who had your own space. She asked me how I was feeling.

I'm not speaking on behalf of you. I'm sure you feel the same way.

Now that we're all under the same roof, it does get overwhelming at times,

especially when we get low on these patsies.

I love being here. Being with mom is just like the highlight of my life.

Just don't eat no more of the damn patsies. That's no problem. Don't eat no

more.

That's no problem.

You're ready. You're set.

To check your dad reflexes. One, two, check.

I want a jaw -dropping. I want bitches to come in there and pick their face up

off the floor.

Hey.

Hey.

Kenya's coming over. You met her before.

Yeah. Does she eat sweets?

I don't know. The bitch skinny as hell right now.

She may not be eating nothing.

Then you'll have to eat all of it. Okay.

Hi, puppy.

How do you know he a puppy? Hi.

Oh, I love this doggy.

Look at the chateau.

It's gorgeous.

Strutting in my high heels.

Popping my collar.

All the fellas trying to holler. Doing what I do best.

Make your heart jump out your chest.

Let's go downstairs.

How do you know I've never been down here? Well, I've been down here once.

I know.

Kenya has not been in my basement since the bitch went creeping during my...

Is this the basement?

Oh, my gosh.

She said her house is more finished than mine.

I finished it. I cannot wait to show this bitch my basement.

OK, do you remember over here, boo?

Yes!

I love it. Oh, my god. It's so comfy. This is like a club.

Yeah. I love that you used the curved wall.

So we can have a little spa day.

Oh, yes.

So when you do your massages or anything, you're right here.

I love a charade. You cannot hate on this.

How high are those ceilings?

And we're in the basement.

Bravo. Thank you for coming.

This is happiness, and I can see it, and it's written all over your face. I like

you right now.

Really? I almost love you, bitch.

How was the gala, though, to you? Because I was like, OK, I'm going to put

heels on, and I'm going to go to this gala that Marlo is throwing. Girl, I

have wore my jogger.

The whole fake and pretentious and I got money, I got this, I got that. It's

just kind of like, it's a turn off to me.

Now, you know she had a word or two to say about you. What? She started talking

about how when you first got here, you lived in an apartment with white

refrigerators.

What's wrong with a white refrigerator? I mean, at least I could pay my rent.

What else did she have to say?

You had to rent somebody's Range Rover, Lisa Ray. I don't even know Lisa Ray.

Girl, shut up.

Not like that, like borrowing a car?

I don't know. Maybe I misheard. Let me call Sandy real quick. That's kind of

crazy. Hello?

Sonia. Yes.

Hey, girl, hey. Hey, I'm here with Kenya.

Hi.

You look cute.

Oh, thank you.

What are you guys up to?

Oh, my God. We're just dishing some tea, and I heard that Marlo was talking

about how I was borrowing a car from someone. I think she said something

you had, like, a white refrigerator in somebody's townhouse or something.

And what? I mean, what else?

She dragged poor Drew over her little bun last night. Coming from a girl who

just had actual Bosley hair implants, you're talking about a girl with a bun.

Like, I don't understand.

It's a chia pet surgery.

That's what it is.

Isn't it the purpose of getting the hair transplant for your edges not to wear

the lace runs?

Just go buy you a chia pet and put the seeds on your scalp, put a little water

on it, a little grease, a little oil. Girl, get your edges back. That's all

got to do. Get your edges back.

I have love for Marlo.

She said she had love for you, too. Right. So then why is she being

But she did say you need to power wash your house. I do.

I do. I got a good guy. I got a good guy. Yes.

Yeah. I'll talk to y 'all later. OK. OK. Bye -bye.

Oh, wait, wait. We got to go back.

Drew left her phone in the get -back. You had her phone? I had her phone. So

where did she have to come and get the phone?

Mm -hmm. Her assistant came.

Speaking of the assistant, she told Candy.

that Drew and you share an assistant.

Girl, you know what? I'm going to tell you. Drew told me that one of her

assistants is Sharae's assistant.

This does not sound good.

Honestly, I'm kind of going through it over here with my assistant.

You met Anthony the other night. Honey, it's a good, healthy libation, honey, to

keep your taste buds moving and your hips grooving.

Okay, yeah.

Tasha Ray girl, let her know what's going on. And she said that you owe the

assistant money and that he has been going back to Drew telling all your

personal business.

That's what she told Candy.

Candy told me Drew and you share an assistant.

And she said that you owe the assistant money and that he has been going back to

Drew telling all your personal business.

Shut your face. That's what she told Candy.

I know who you're talking about, but he doesn't work for me often. I hardly ever

use him.

Like, you just call him when you need him. Yeah. Okay.

There's a lot of mess that goes on over there in that household.

Her husband just got entangled with the other assistant, offering to give

massages, and the assistant was supposed to be fired, and now the assistant's

not fired. It's just a lot going on.

You need to be worrying about that instead of worrying about me.

That's the conversation that you need to have with her. I will definitely have

that conversation with her.

Here, I'll get the plate.

Makai, JoJo, come eat.

Chef Chassidy got us eating healthy. Mm -hmm.

Oh, what is this? Is this salmon?

Mm -hmm, mm -hmm. That's our rosemary custard salmon.

We have garlic mashed potatoes.

Roasted broccoli. Oh, garlic. We have a cream sauce. You hear that, babe?

Wait, wait. Did you say garlic?

Oh, Lord. I can't eat this.

Garlic does not work well with me. It's so mild.

It's so mild. All right. Hold on. You know your grandma. She told me she cooks

with a little garlic.

So y 'all just lie to her out. So it's not lying if you just, like, don't tell

her. Thank you for clarifying, JoJo.

This is really good, actually.

See?

Thank you.

Yes, Mama?

Want to go play? Go ahead.

So what else? What's going on with you?

So, Play Archive, the venue, everything was beautiful.

Did you have fun?

It was fun.

I actually spent a lot of time with Todd, so I had a good time with Todd.

It was great, like, having somebody else that got the same mentality I could

understand. So it was dope.

Actually, I got a chance to talk with Candy.

That was interesting.

Candy brought up the Instagram of your assistant.

Look, I fired her.

Okay. So y 'all don't talk anymore?

I said we don't talk anymore. I said we're not doing business.

So y 'all do still talk?

I said I'm no longer going to work with her anymore.

He puts me on tumble dry.

Like, he puts me in the dryer and puts me on tumble dry because he will confuse

me where I'm like, am I tripping?

I understand that you don't feel comfortable with another woman. Maybe

because of how she looks. How does she look?

She's a 50 -year -old woman. That's what she looks like. What is that? She was

12 when I was born.

Men date older women all the time.

If you ever were to find something in my phone where a guy was like, yo, I could

come give you a massage, you would have a problem with that. That's not the

message. But that's what happened. That's not what happened.

Everyone that says the issue is not with her, the only person that says the

issue is with her is you.

I have so many women that surround me. You had it out for her since day one

anyway. You're making me really feel like I'm crazy, like I'm not making

when I know I have a valid point.

People say that Ralph gaslights me, but I don't know if that's necessarily true.

Can you define gaslighting? I don't.

Let me look up. I got my phone. Let me see.

Gaslighting definition.

Oh, manipulate the one by psychological means into questioning their own

sanity. Oh, my God.

You left the other day and I still don't know where you were. You don't really

truly understand men and how we work, especially black men.

What was the reply? The reply was, look, you know, I was like, hey, my back is

really hurting. She was like, man, you should have gotten a massage or whatever

like that.

I was like, hey, you know what? No, no, no. What did she say? I had to let go of

those expectations.

Okay.

What was that?

You look like you're about to cry. That wasn't even real.

Okay. I didn't say anything about, hey, I'm never going to speak to her and she

no longer exists.

Say it. I want you to say it to me. If you want me to not ever talk to her

again, you say it out of your mouth.

I will never do that.

I want you to respect the relationship in order for you to make the decision.

Because then you feel like down the road it wasn't the right decision. Now

you're blaming me and now you're resenting me for it.

There's a lot of things I've resented you for, though. There's more?

Of course. We'll talk about it later.

Oh, Lord. So much. Oh, Lord.

You know, that's scary.

That's scary for me. Oh, God. That's terrifying.

Coming up next.

You'll be taking multiple vacations throughout the year. When you're not

it disrupts the flow.

You don't think the flow is disrupted when you leave for months?

I say solid blue.

We do the light blue with it. Maybe you could do a sneaker with it. Oh, that

would be everything. So homecoming isn't as fancy as prom.

What is homecoming?

It's like the baby version of prom. The baby version of prom? This looks good.

Okay, let's make some tea. How many teacups do we need?

Two.

So can Mommy have some tea?

Yes. Mmm, what kind of tea?

Um, the chocolate.

Chocolate tea, that's delish.

So, Tia, what's going on with your podcast?

People get so tense when you mention sex. See, look at your face.

I know, because you know what, Tia? You told me don't listen to it, so I have

never listened to it.

Yeah, because I'm on there talking about polygamy, one -night stands,

favorite sex position.

Well, I won't be listening.

Grandma, please don't.

What's up, Brian?

How you doing?

Oh, I'm tired.

I know you're tired. How did you feel about our opening?

This opening was on fire.

It was so packed in there and everybody... I have a producer

on the new Broadway play, Thoughts of a Colored Man. So many people came out to

support, so the word is really getting around.

Have you seen any reviews yet?

Boo. We're not for everyone. The Amsterdam News called it the most

play of the 21st century.

What?

I'm very grateful that you guys allowed me to be a part of this history. Oh,

come on, Candy.

It's not the last thing.

For an all -black production to be able to get a show on Broadway. That's never

happened before.

I mean, it was called The Great White Way.

So to be able to put a little...

Coloring it. It's history in the making, and I'm just glad to be a part of it.

I almost shed a tear.

I've been doing a lot of promotions and, you know, trying to spend my coins

towards the marketing to make sure I get butts in seats.

Well, all right, Brian, I'll hit you back later.

Okay, bye.

How you feel?

I'm feeling good, like I'm on cloud nine.

I'm very proud of it, but I'm just feeling overwhelmed, you know what I

Because it's like, now I got to go back and forth to New York. I can't do this

alone, so I need you. Why are you talking like you be doing something

You be taking multiple vacations throughout the year.

When you're not here, it disrupts the flow.

You leave for a month.

If I leave a week in here, a week in there, but you leave for a month, you

think the flow is disrupted when you're gone for a month?

Okay, whatever.

When I'm going, I'm going because I have to work. Why are you going to Miami?

Hang out.

Todd and I are not on the same page.

When we got together, we were doing everything together. But it's like now

I'm doing something he's not a part of, like this Broadway show, he's killing

away at me.

Okay. I'm just saying.

What you saying?

Nothing, Todd. Forget it.

Anyway, that whole guest house starting to get all crazy looking.

For real, for real. We just got everywhere.

And then, you know, the pool room. We got to wrap that up, too.

Come on, let's go look.

Decision. Yes.

Make your mind up. Let's go look.

Oh, well, all right.

I've changed this whole pool. Check the floors out. It's the black marble look.

It's looking current. You know, before it was, you know, that tan, that old

school. But, you know, things have kind of slowed down right now.

I'm one of those people that's kind of guilty of never finishing their house.

And it's just like boxes everywhere.

Me and my wife have to agree on some equipment for the humidity in the pool

area. But, you know, it's really hard to get her to sit down and focus.

I feel like we can take the furniture out at this point because we finished

the floor.

We're going to take all the furniture out, put it in its place, see if it

We're going to have some extra cleaning to do.

I can use some of this stuff in Jersey, too.

You ain't go Jersey, Crip.

It ain't nothing in there. It's an empty apartment.

You was there. You saw it.

Right?

I moved in this condo many moons ago with my ex. We purchased the condo

together. We didn't work, so I moved out.

She never refinanced and got my name off the condo. And unfortunately, I ended

up having to pay off the condo.

So I have a condo in Jersey.

It's our Jersey club, babe.

My name ain't nowhere on there.

My name ain't on this house.

And you ain't gave me no keys.

You can have a key whenever you want.

Whatever.

He wants to share it with me, but this was your spot with your egg.

I don't really want to do that.

The house she had when we met, she had already bumped and grinded all kind of

craziness in that house. She didn't even flip the mattress over. I feel like you

care more about redoing that New Jersey apartment than getting that done here.

That's not true.

Say this.

Really not.

All right.

Or we can get rid of the pool.

No, we...

Coming up next.

How about you just try to have a good night? So then that means we're not

expressing ourselves?

If me expressing myself means we have a bad night, what the hell are we doing?

This area is a rough area, right?

Oh, yeah. That's why she has to have this jail gate.

You have a great night.

What the hell?

Knock, knock.

Hi, Candy, yeah?

I love you.

This is the perfect costume for me.

I'm afraid of you.

Yeah, twirl.

Trouble, trouble, twirl.

Make sure those fingers are pointed, yeah?

Wait, one of your contacts missing as opposed to this? No, one is black. Oh,

God. And mine is green. Oh, my God. I don't even know how you can sit up and

talk to me with this stuff on.

Oh, my God. It looks scary.

Let me see if I can get it off. Can I have a cocktail, please, love, and a

napkin? Sure. Thank you. Can you see if I brought some wipes? Yeah. Oh, my God.

First of all, I love the way you had Michael and William looking all cute

the suits on.

That's your party.

They were so cute.

I mean, I love you being there, Monty.

Oh, it's a job.

Right now, I need to seek help. I'm a single mom with two teenage boys in the

home. I don't know what I'm doing.

And hopefully, I can get advice from Candy, because she has a family unit.

Let me just say, I really loved the way you put everything together. I know you

was upset because the other two over there trying to tell you everything we

said. So listen, the girls are like, where is the food? People are

If there was anything that I had to say, it was just questioning.

How much she spent on this? But that has been you from day one. Marlo, how did

you get your money game up?

God.

I'm gonna get him a story.

Tell him I told you I work at Magic City on Mondays and I do private dances.

My name is Ginger.

Call him Mom Ginger.

Just know I got it, bitch. I got it. And Uncle Sam is getting his percentage,

too. You know that.

So everything's good with the kids?

Yes. How are the nephews doing?

Stressing me out a little bit, but they're good for the most part.

When they first came to me, it was like...

I was feeling guilty.

I want them to feel loved, the situation they came from. So I thought I was just

giving, giving to where I did create a little monster.

I bought a $1 ,200 suit for homecoming. Time out.

I have to say that this is something that they kind of addressed this with

of the characters in the play, Thoughts of a Colored Man.

Why does being Black always have to equate to struggle?

Why does being Black have to relate to a lot of shit? People always feel like

they got to come up from the gutter.

And that's not necessarily true. I think we can still instill a work ethic in

our children and still have them set up for greatness.

The other kids that go to that school, you said they're coming to school with

Mercedes and this and that. That's their normal. So why does your black nephews

have to not have nice things to be normal?

I push my children to pursue more in life.

I think they got the right idea.

They're not lazy.

I have life insurance for them. I have my properties for them. But if I die

right now today, Candy, I don't know if they're gonna go hard.

I think it really does take a village.

It does.

You're the only one that sent a cash app for graduation or birthday.

I appreciate that.

But I would even appreciate more hands -on. You never, in the two years I've

the boys, invited me over for movie night.

You gotta be the type of friend you want. Marlo and I have had a very up

-down relationship.

I met her a long time ago because she dated my guy brother.

And when she came around these girls, she really started acting real shitty

me. You know how many stories I've heard about you? I've heard you're a big

mama, but you take care of guys.

I definitely think she's been moving back to a better place, but it's been a

slow roll.

Y 'all got a big family. Let the boys come over there and see what family

is about. Like, we don't have to do anything like that. It's not like you

invite me over either.

Marlo. Damn it. You are more than welcome to come anytime to my damn

When, Marlo? It's tonight. Come tonight and hang out with me and the boys.

Well, I'm sorry. I got to get this off of me. All right, Lizzie.

Yeah, I need to clean up. Bye, Wicked Witch.

What's wrong?

All right, y 'all want to do Drop It With Drew and Ralph?

These are specialized Drop It With Drew moves.

Watch. Watch those knees.

Your sweat lines is good for your skin.

I have a phone call. Sorry, hold on.

It's Sonia.

You got to come to the next Drop It With Drew.

Ralph is here.

Look. You should be out here.

You're meeting up with Ralph tonight, right?

Of course. It's the fellas tonight. I love you.

Bye.

Oh, I'm tired. And it's starting to rain. All right, good job, guys. All

let's get these masks and get in the house. Yes, honey.

Oh, my God. That was a real workout.

Let's talk about something real quick.

You hit me with the blind side right now. OK.

Keep your schedule clear, and we're going to do something, all right, to

celebrate us.

OK? Mm -hmm. So is that putting our issues on the back burner?

First and foremost, we've got to get back to us. Because if we come in from a

place where we don't like each other, anything can break us apart.

I get that.

What's up? What's up?

What's going on? You good? You all right?

All right.

We got any specials today?

I got these muffins for you. White wine, lemon butter sauce.

Okay. With linguine pasta.

Oh, wait. I just want the appetizer. I don't want all that pasta.

You know I was trying to fatten you up. Yeah, no.

I got to stay Bruce Lee. I got to stay Bruce Lee on.

What's going on?

My boy Todd. What's going on, bud? What's up, man?

Good to see you, man. Good to see you, too. How you been?

I've been good.

You want something to drink? Yeah, of course. Let's go do things.

All right.

Yeah.

Craft up, Smith.

Y 'all just trying to show off because my homeboy here.

What's up, man? What's up, brother?

Good. Cooler, cooler, cooler. Yes, sir. Hey, man, I want to introduce you to my

boy, Ty.

What's up, my brother? What's up, man?

How you doing, man? Good. Nice spot, man. We got to get you a drink. Kenny,

earned you the man to know, man.

That's the word around town.

Not me, brother. Not me.

I stay low.

Appreciate you. Yeah, man. Cheers, fellas. Yes, sir.

Yes, sir.

We went and did a workout with Sonya and him, bro. Me and wifey tried to do a

competition, bro. It was bad. Against them? Against them.

Two athletes.

How old are y 'all?

I'm 39.

I'm 39 also.

I'm 38, my bad.

I'm 48, so I just had to schedule to get a colonoscopy.

I'm trying to live. I got little -ass kids, so it's like, do what y 'all got

do for me to sleep.

How many little ones you got?

But we got four total.

Yeah, we have one, but I want another one.

But she ain't really sold all the way on having the kids yet.

So what is it like? Because Candy pretty busy too, right? Crazy. What is that

like for you? The worst?

Now, I'm going to tell you.

Rob. Yeah. I got a lot of conversation from my wife about this assistant, man.

Oh, man. Me too.

Oh, really?

I got a lot of conversation from my wife from about when she came over to the

crib. Oh, man. Me too.

Oh, really?

I heard about this assistant, man.

I guess it was a text. That's your fat ass. Nice body. Everybody in Atlanta got

a fat butt.

This is the thing that wifey cannot let go of.

It's kind of bullshit.

It's not even bullshit.

I could not find a massage therapist.

Yeah, there ain't none available right now.

You know, my sister Carmen, she's like, Ralph, did you go and get your massage

or whatever? I'm like, man, I couldn't find one. I think they said the text

message said, oh, I should have gave you the massage.

And he was like, well, you know I'm a man, LOL.

No, I said a guy.

No, no, no. A guy.

My thing was more so like I'm a man because I didn't solve the problem.

I don't know about that one, but I'll go with it because you my boy.

I'm a man. I'm going to use that. I'm a man, LOL.

No trip. Why you leave the toilet seat up? I'm a man. I'm a man.

I'm a man.

I'm a man.

Wait, I'm going to come massage you. I'm a man.

I mean, of course, it's hard to explain. It's a matter of you believing exactly

what I say.

It was more like, I should have just did it myself.

But I'm going to do it. And I am going to do it for you. What she did, I said,

I'm a guy.

You know, I didn't do it. Same thing as with guys taking medicine.

We don't do it sometimes.

He puts me on tumble dry.

But really, Drew should never have been going through my cell phone to begin

with.

You know, I'm just talking shit with you, man. Yeah, yeah. Just make sure

wifey right, man.

Me and my wife trying to buy some land. We moved down here and got her whole

family with us. You know what I mean?

It's cool, though. Been with her for 18 years, so they like my parents, too.

Yeah, they like some news.

For me, wifey be tripping a little bit. Menace check, we was in a situation

about 20 years ago. We had a spot right on the water. I ended up having to buy

her out, so now I got this crib in Jersey.

And I'm trying to convince my wife, when we go to New York, it's a nice vibe.

But the thing is, I can get $5 ,000, $6 ,000 on the rent.

I'm definitely going to keep it. I paid for it. What do you think our mode up

is? Like, why don't you want to, like, rock with it? I don't know if they don't

want us to have eyes, too.

Sometimes they don't want you to have eyes. Sometimes it feels like it. They

all ages.

Hi,

William. Thank you for joining us.

Your brother is leaving us on a homecoming tonight. How do you feel

I feel fine.

You know what's crazy? The boys call you Uncle Justin.

Right. And they call Ty Ty.

Why can't I be an aunt?

You are. We just call you Ty.

When I was growing up, that was not allowed.

It's like some names don't go. Like, we couldn't call Auntie Marlo.

You better not ever call me down Marlo in your life. I don't know what I would

do without Ty and Justin.

They're a husband and wife team that managed me together.

They about run my life, but I just thank God for both of them. Justin is such a

good, positive role model for the boys.

We didn't have a birds and the bees conversation, but what talk do we have

before? Oh, the Me Too movement. The Me Too movement. So don't touch him. Me and

him will have our talk. He'll be good.

William came to me one day. He was like, Auntie, something's different down

there. I'm like, what? I don't know. Wait.

Don't you come next to me.

Wait. Justin!

So, Michael, are you excited or nervous about anything tonight?

You more excited? What are you excited about?

The dance.

Oh, you want to dance in public?

No. I'll just go there and make videos and, uh.

Michael, you can dance, though, right? No.

No?

Michael, you don't really have to dance, but I'm going to show you what you can

do. Uh -uh, Lord Jesus.

OK, here goes.

Bim ya.

Oh, God!

So say you bring her out there, and you just hold him.

You put your hands in. Oh.

Know what? Hold on my foot.

Whatever. Isn't this right, Justin?

No. Right. Yeah, that's right. But just, like, don't think about it. Like, you

look so good.

I am fit. This is why I don't dance. You ain't got to throw a lot. And make sure

you have distance here. I mean, like, this far. Like, that far.

some ratchet music, come on. Oh, no. Then what's going to happen?

I'm going to take you to switch hands.

No, no, see, that's doing too much. They're in ninth grade. It's going to be

ratchet music. That's doing too much.

I'm going to just be like, maybe she's going to be aggressive like me.

I'm going to just take charge.

No, but seriously, come on, we need to get dressed. I'm paying the driver by

hour, the photographer by the hour.

Let's go.

Trip hard on them. Trip hard on them. Who ain't got to go to work? Trip hard

them.

Does he need a belt on?

He does need a belt. Give him the black Hermes belt. The Hermes.

When I lived with my mother, I had it tough.

I grew up in the projects. My mom was on drugs.

My mom and that bitch getting high.

And I got my ass beat all the time. So foster care was my safe haven.

Put a little oil on your dreads. Come on now.

I think I went to prom one year, but I didn't go to a lot.

But I did go to that one.

I think back, I had like five hairstyles in one. I had like finger waves, a

roller set going to the side, and I had crimps up. I went to Sure Essence in St.

Pete. You went to Sure Essence. All right, come on down, baby.

I didn't have people waiting on me to come downstairs.

Look at my baby.

You look so handsome.

And I want Michael to sit back on his sad days and smile and say, Wow, I

remember my first homecoming.

I was living with my auntie, and she went all the way out.

It's about memories.

Are you about to cry, Martha?

No, no.

You look good.

I'm so proud of you. I love you. Me too.

I knew Ralph was up to something, but I had no idea.

Oh, my god.

A red carpet. Wow.

He just really went all out. Like, the whole day, I was just smiling ear to

Oh, my god.

What is daddy doing?

This is so freaking pretty.

Somebody tell me what is happening. You know, we know just as much as you, but

we're here to get you glam.

You flew in for this?

What? Oh, my god.

Let's do a little.

Wait a minute. Who's fitting in that? You.

I'm hot. I'm nervous. My heart is beating fast.

Well, don't worry about it.

It's a complete fairy tale.

I said, what are you up to? He said nothing.

After an assistant situation, this is just what I have been desiring in our

marriage, is just to feel like number one.

I know one thing. I'm going to put a thing on.

I'll say right now.

Oh, what in the world?

Oh my gosh.

I've never been here before.

Really good.

You look gorgeous. I feel like a whole princess.

Where am I?

So this is my tailor showroom, actually. Oh, okay.

We are here.

This is the place that you come who does the suit?

Uh -huh, uh -huh.

I don't understand why, but I'm here.

What?

Oh.

When I proposed to Drew, she felt like a queen.

Thank you, baby. This is so romantic.

I wanted to give her that same environment on the rooftop at my boy's

make sure that my wife knows that no woman can ever come close to her. Give

your hand.

This is really amazing.

Like, how many dozens of roses? This is a lot of roses.

Like, why? Where's all this coming from? Sometimes I can be an asshole.

I get it.

But the thing about it is, you know, I love you, and I want to be the best

husband, the best father, the best provider.

This right here, this is like, this is what I live for.

Because you do go out of your way to make me feel like the most important

in the world. So I love you.

I just want to make sure that we don't have these really, really high highs,

we go through those lows.

And really, like, deal with our problems.

on a deeper level so that we can be healthy for each other. I agree. And I

that's one thing that Dr. Ken taught me was you can't have these extreme

expectations of somebody else. You need to first start with yourself. So my new

order now is God, me, and then my wife,

my kids, and everyone else.

Because I think for men, a lot of the times we're kind of taught and trained

is God, your wife, your family, then you come last.

So you think you had it in that order before? I definitely had it because I

a pleaser. I can't do that anymore.

I feel like for me, I would just, you know, not vocalize how I felt in the

of keeping peace. And I stopped saying how I felt because I was afraid that

you know, that rap is so serious.

I apologize if I ever made you feel like you need to suppress your voice. And

even now, I'm, like, feeling myself walking on eggshells, and I'm like, I

want to ruin the night. Good evening.

Hi. How are you guys? Good, good.

Salmon bite, crab ring. Ooh, okay.

We have a lobster tail with fresh napkin game.

Oh, this looks phenomenal.

Bon appetit, guys. I'll bring some wine out for you, okay? Yes. Wine would be

great. Thank you. I love it. My pleasure.

I'm about to really eat all of this.

I would prefer to probably use this night as an opportunity just to enjoy

other's company, and we can leave everything else for marriage counseling.

Okay.

So you don't feel like we should be able to, like, communicate? I set this up

with no expectations.

If you value this, it's fantastic. If you don't, fantastic, you know? I value

it. You have made me feel special.

This shows me like we can make it. This shows you?

Give me your hand. Maybe I need to hold your hand when I say this. No, no, no.

Just talk.

Where's the wine? I need some wine, please.

Oh, there it is.

Oh, right on time, honey.

Thank you.

Thank you.

My pleasure.

You know what I'm going to do? I'm going to schedule a session for you to go and

speak to Dr. Ken on, like, how to speak to men appropriately to get whatever

you're trying to do across effectively.

Yes, and then I will pay for you to have a session, too, to learn how to talk to

women.

Cheers.

Dr. Ken said that you, like, do, like, zingers. Oh, we're talking about what

Ken said? I mean, that's what Dr. Ken said. Well, Dr. Ken called you a maniac.

A maniac?

Do you know what the definition of a maniac is? Nobody that's a maniac is

successful. Have you looked at my wall? I got degrees on my wall.

Go and take a look at the word maniac.

I love a good Google.

A person exhibiting extreme symptoms of wild behavior, a homicidal maniac.

The marriage counselor just uses extreme words, and it's something that people

on the East Coast do, and they have a tendency for you to go and try to repeat

what he said.

You repeated what you said about me. No, no, no, no, no. You have maniac

tendency. Okay, maybe let me say that. No, no, no, no, no, no. Let me say

tendency. No, don't touch me.

Why are you getting mad at me for that? I'm just because you don't even

understand what maniac even means.

It means somebody that's truly unstable.

I apologize.

I'm sorry.

You said something he said about me. I said something he said about you. You're

not really sorry. I really am sorry. But I'm just making sure that we're both

here and understanding that we both have work to do. How about you just try to

have a good night? So then that means we not express myself?

If me expressing myself means we have a bad night, what the hell are we doing?

You ready for dessert?

Mm -hmm.

I don't know why communication is so hard and why it triggers, Ralph. I have

idea. But this is kind of what we go through, and I'm tired.

Really, this is bullshit.

Tonight was not the night to go and try to fix anything.

Let's just have a conversation.

That's all I'm asking for.

Please? Sometimes I probably just do too much.

You know, and I probably should not do this.

Doing stuff for you is not the move.

I regret wanting it.

Next time on The Real Housewives of Atlanta.

My little girl is turning three. I am going all out.

And he sucked dick in locker room.

Oh, my God.

What? What happened?

He kept driving and drug my car down the street. He had to cut ties

because you never paid him. Are you going to shut the fuck up for a second

working car?
