Previously on "Braxton Family Values"...

Well, I go in the studio tomorrow,

so I'm very excited about that.

- Yay. - For your second album?

For my second album.

I was asked to perform at the MusiCares concert

honoring Smokey Robinson.

This is the first time I've been on stage in six months.

For me, it's about not really is it still there,

but is it really still there?

This is my first performance since given a clean bill of health.

I'm so nervous.

Hello.

There's some things I wanna talk to you about.

So, what? Talk to me.

I'm just trying to figure out

why we're on a beach.

- Would you rather be going to a restaurant? - Yes.

- Seems less... - Less what?

- ...something-y. - Less romantic?

♪ We are the Braxtons and you'll see ♪

♪ That we are not like an ordinary family ♪

♪ Toni, Traci, Towanda, Trina ♪

♪ Tamar and Miss E will ♪

♪ Teach you a thing or two ♪

♪ On "Braxton Family Values." ♪

- I'm curious-- - Do you remember the last time we were on the beach,

and I was down on one knee?

I'm asking you to marry me.

- Will you marry me? - Okay.

Are you serious?

Yes, I'm dead serious.

Don't worry, it's not that time.

I'm still trying to figure this all out.

Like, I'm feeling like you're buttering me up for something.

I'm not buttering you up for anything.

Mm-kay.

When Gabe mentioned the last time

we were on the beach and he was on his knee,

it did bring back some fond memories.

And it also brought back some not-so-fond memories

because I remember why he did it.

We can renew our vows and we can just...

you know what, let the past be the past and move on.

There's just a lot going on in my mind right now,

and I don't know how to, you know, place it yet.

Okay, so talk to me. Come on, just--

Talk to you about what? You don't wanna have a cracker first?

No, I don't need a cracker.

You just wanna get to the meat and potatoes, huh?

I'm ready for the meat and potatoes.

There are some things that I-- I mean, I feel like I regret

and I feel like some things that I wanna apologize for.

Yes.

I'm apologizing.

I mean, I feel like I was a horrible husband.

You were.

And I apologize for that.

Why? Tell me why? Why now?

I don't know. There's not like any built-up resentment anymore,

so I feel like I can just get it off my chest.

There's not the same hurt.

It's not the same hurt, but there is still some hurt,

because for a while I was, like,

- blaming myself. - Mm-hmm.

You know what I mean? I was like-- I'm cute.

- Yeah. - I'm pretty. I'm not a--

I mean, I'm not perfect,

but I'm not a bad person.

- I wasn't a bad wife. - Yeah.

No, you weren't a bad wife. I don't think-- I don't--

I mean, sure, after my affair

and after I did everything I did and everything came out,

I mean, you did your things, but I don't want to--

I know, I'm not trying to rehash it.

That ain't the reason why I brought you here.

I was a horrible husband. That's it.

Don't say anything else.

I don't have anything else to say.

But it just made me feel like, what's wrong with me?

Like, what did I do?

And I internalized it, and I know I shouldn't have

because it had nothing to do with me.

Yeah.

I never expected Gabe to take ownership

for what he's done and how he actually feels,

so this is new terrain for me and Gabe

as far as taking that next step

in our friendship, relationship,

or whatever it is you wanna call it.

You know, this is probably good for you

because now you can see how you-- it wasn't you.

And I promised myself I would not do this again.

- What? - Uh-- shed a tear?

No, but, I mean, you can shed a tear now and it's not really-- I mean--

It's cleansing, it's cleansing.

'Cause sometimes I blame myself. I was, like...

'Cause I didn't get it. It was just hurtful.

It was hurtful, you know, because

it wasn't just between you and I.

It got public.

There was a lot of (bleep) that happened.

No relationship is exempt from bull(bleep).

- Yeah. - That's the reality of the situation.

But even Mommy always taught us

forgiveness is not for the other person.

Forgiveness is for you so that you can move on.

That's a very good point that you made,

because that's kinda like the way I feel, I mean, you know?

I appreciate that, Gabe.

- You want some cheese? - No. Screw you, Gabe.

How you gonna offer me some cheese at a time like this?

Reaching out to Gabe to reopen these wounds

was not an easy decision,

but I'm glad I did it because we can both move past

all of the hurt we caused each other.

I'm glad we had this conversation.

It really helps me.

Well, you're welcome.

- To growth. - To maturity.

And closure.

Oh...

-Hey, monster. - Hi.

I just came from seeing Gabe,

but I'm just not ready to tell Tamar about it yet,

because I'm still trying to process everything

that just happened.

So, okay.

I got this show, right?

Mrs. Getty called last night.

Like, the Getty family? Like the Getty Center family?

- Yeah, yeah. - What?

So the Getty family is known for their, like,

amazing, fierce passion for art.

You know, not to mention they're like

one of the richest families in America

and they're worth, like, five bazillion, zillion,

gillion coins!

Well, apparently, their son August is a Tamartian, right?

And it's his birthday

and he's just having a few friends over,

and she wants me to come and perform.

So August Getty is, like, a super famous Tamartian.

Like, he has his own exit and stuff off the 405.

He's, like, a very super dope,

hot 22-year-old fashion designer,

and it's his birthday

and... they want me to come and perform.

I know you said yes, right?

Yeah, but, you know, it's 24 hours

and I just wanna make sure

that I can give him what he wants.

Because from what I understand,

he had a really, really hard week.

Like, eight of his friends died in Orlando.

So, it's like I really want to, you know,

lighten his, you know, spirits.

I mean, as much as I can, of course.

So in June, a man opened fire at a gay club

called "Pulse" in Orlando.

And he killed, like, 49 people

and he wounded 53 other people.

So it's being reported as a terrorist attack

and a hate crime, and it's a horrible tragedy.

And right now it just means a lot

to make his day really, really special.

But, you know, I'm "nerve-scited."

- You know what I'm saying? - Mm-hmm.

You'll be fine. You'll be fantastic.

Um... I just belched.

Trina, belching is a mouth fart.

It's not a F-A-R-T. It's a fluff-- it's a fluff of air.

Well, a mouth fluff of stink.

No, you can't do that! Oh!

-Oh, my gosh. -There's nothing wrong with a little belch.

-Ooh, a winery, Trina. -I'm super excited.

You should be.

I wanted to try this winery for a while.

- Really? - Yeah.

I got into the right business with Bar Chix

because I am always down to sample new things.

I have to keep the bar's wine up to the high standards I set,

so I'm bringing my sisters along

to help me look for new libations.

Well, Traci, you need to pick out a wine

so that you can celebrate you going back into the studio.

Yes, and I finished the song.

- You did? - I did.

You know, being risky and everything.

- And Cliff loved it, so I'm like, yes. - I can't wait to hear it.

I am very excited about this album.

And, um, I have this idea--

how about Trina and Towanda sing background for me?

I understand they retired.

You promise to have energy tonight?

Towanda, I'm gonna give 130%.

- Cheers! -♪ To the last show! ♪

Praise, Jesus.

So, I don't know if they want to be on it or whatever,

but I've got a plan to get my sisters in the studio first.

So I'm going to do another song.

- Oh, good. - Yes.

It's called "Broken Things."

So we need to go to the studio so I can hear the finished product.

- Can we go with you? -We would love to go.

Yeah.

It's gonna be a real challenge of me

trying to get my sisters to sing in the studio,

but, you know, I think it's worth a try.

I love a challenge.

Would you guys like to know what happened to me?

-What? - Gabe called me.

Trina, why you talking to Gabe?

Uh-- wait a minute, I thought this was squ--

I thought this was squashed.

I thought you stepped on that roach.

I thought you sprayed Raid-- psss, you dead.

No, it's not. It came back up.

He invited me to an outing

'cause he wanted to talk.

- After the-- - Yes.

The therapy and everything?

He was like, "I wanna talk to you face-to-face."

I've decided to tell Traci and Towanda

about my talk with Gabe,

especially because they've been less critical of me

pursuing this closure.

And it would be really nice

if they wouldn't be negative about what I had to say.

-What happened? - He apologized.

What?

I think he heard himself

when those words came out of his mouth.

- And that, of course... - Made you cry?

- Yes. - You cried?

I did because it was very emotional,

because I feel like he finally owned it.

And it was just, like,

the realization that it wasn't all my fault.

I'm just concerned

because I think that Trina's still in love with Gabe.

But you can love a person, and the person may not be right for you.

Period.

Now I can move on.

Like, I can finally get that closure

because now you've honestly and truly owned up to it

without someone pushing you to or asking you to.

And it was on his own. You understand what I'm saying?

Well, that's very big of Gabe.

Yeah, 'cause, you know, he does not apologize.

At all.

I think Gabe really wanted to have a date with Trina.

"Ooh, we need to get back.

Smooches, I'm gonna swap saliva with you."

I'm just waiting to say-- okay, Trina says

she's gonna remarry him again.

But right now I have to focus on

trying to get my sisters to perform on my album.

- To Traci's project. - Yes.

Her listening party. We're gonna go to her party of listening.

I'm excited to hear it.

I can't wait to hear the risquéness of Traci Braxton

because you never know what's gonna come out of her mouth, honey.

I can't wait to hear her song.

And to forgiveness,

- happiness... - And growth.

- ...and growth. - Amen to that.

- Clink, clink, clink. - Amen, amen.

So, Traci, ready to do this?

Yeah. I got hook, like, really down pat.

- You got the hook down pat? -Yeah.

Okay.

You know when I'm doing the lead, I always try to, like, to...

- Hey, guys. - Hey, guys.

- Hey. - Hey, Tray-ray.

Tamar's performing for the Getty family tonight,

so she's not able to be here.

But Towanda and I are excited to hear

what Traci's new stuff sounds like.

Hey, pretty girl. Ooh, Wanda, where you goin' lookin' like a model?

Like... oh.

Today my sisters are coming to hear my track

"Broken Things" from my new album.

And you know what?

I got something up my sleeve and I hope this works.

Oh, I can't wait to ask.

I think I got a little idea.

What's your idea, first?

- Tell us what it is first. - Yeah, first, this idea.

Traci just put us on the spot

and we need to make the decision right here, right now.

Coming up on "Braxton Family Values"...

Wait a minute!

Why you gotta be so disrespectful?

Toni, you so disrespectful!

What happened now?

- Are you dating? - I had an outing.

Okay.

We're here supporting you 150%!

But you don't need me to.

I need everybody's voices on this.

This is about every woman that's going through something.

- We want you on it. - Yeah, we.

Ladies and gentlemen, it's the Braxtons.

No, it's Traci with the help of her sisters on background vocals.

Absolutely.

What y'all say?

If that's what you need, I'll do it for you.

I did it for everybody else.

- She makes me so sick. - No, that's real talk. Truth.

- Trina, you first, then. - No, Traci's first.

We have to follow her guidelines, 'cause I wrote the song.

Absolutely. Go, Traci.

- Boom. - Bam.

- Go on. - You go.

So, I guess we're gonna do this, huh?

Why do we always get stuck?

Towanda and I just were up and down

that we were done with background singing.

But this is different.

Traci just needs a few minutes of our help,

and we're already here.

So that's what sisters are for.

Raise your hand if you knew

you were gonna go into the studio and sing today?

Okay.

I did not wake up this morning

and expect to be singing on Traci's track.

I was expecting to listen

and offer my opinion if asked,

but here I am in the booth ready to sing,

and I did it for everybody else,

so why not for Traci, too?

I didn't say I was doing it, Trina. I didn't say that.

- Come on, Towanda. Come take your turn. - But I didn't say that.

Don't play. It's your turn.

I'm not one to brag,

but I feel like I'm going to go into this booth

How are you doing?

- I'm sorry. - How?

- She in the booth? -Yeah, she in the booth.

I know. I'm coming out right now.

Traci asked me to come by to hear some of her new music,

but I had no idea that the rest of the girls were there

and that they were recording.

They were doing some background vocals for it.

- What happened? - Well, we thought

we were coming to support Traci

while she's in the studio and say hi.

And, uh, we ended up in the booth.

Ain't no problem with that.

You know, prior to coming, you kinda have to give a person

a teeny-tiny heads-up, 'cause I had a lot of cheese today.

- You'll be all right. - And dairy.

On a lighter note, the song is beautiful.

- It's a dope song. -Well, let me hear it.

This means so much to me

that Toni is here ready to listen to my song,

and, like, give me some feedback.

Ooh, I was so nervous.

So what you think?

We should've brought Logan.

He would've enjoyed himself immensely.

Tonight I'm performing at a very exclusive birthday party

for the very talented,

amazing clothing designer, August Getty.

I haven't met him yet,

but I hear that he's a major Tamartian,

so I'm super excited to be able to honor him tonight.

- ...birthday party... - Oh, my God, this is so lit.

So excited.

- Hi! - Hi.

- Hi there. - How are you?

I'm so good. How are you?

- I'm good. - Happy birthday!

Thank you.

Hi, Mom!

- Hi. - Oh, my goodness. Hi.

Oh, my pleasure. Good to meet you, too.

First of all, your clothes are amazing.

- They're beautiful. - Thank you.

- Really? - I do.

- Yeah. - I'm telling you, it's...

It puts him in the zone.

It means so, so much to me

that you guys are here.

- Oh, it's so sweet. - We're so grateful.

It means everything to me right now.

- Oh... - Especially 'cause it's, like, something that

me and my mom, like, bond over and share over that it's--

- Me? - Yeah, dude. It's...

- Really? - Yeah.

It's super humbling that August has, like,

an emotional connection to my music.

Like, I'm feeling like a real super kindred spirit

type "vizza" with him.

Like, he loves my music, I love his fashion.

It's, like, we hands in gloves. It's a beautiful thing.

My mom is a philanthropist,

and she has a charity that donates to charities

that don't have enough to start up.

And our biggest donation was to the survivors of Pulse,

which was the Orlando massacre.

I've been a part of the LGBT community for a long time.

Those were the people who came to me with open arms

and was like, "Yes, Tamar, you be you, honey."

And so, for me, that was like the first,

you know, organization and people who accepted me for who I am.

And so, you know, for that to have, you know, happen,

to, you know, that community

really, you know, affected me in such a big way.

So I'm gonna ask you a question.

- This is a very important question. - Yes.

- As a Tamartian to another. - Yes.

Can you twerk?

-Oh, please... - Can you get your life?

Okay, so all I ask is that if I call you to twerk,

would you twerk?

If you text me, I'll twerk.

Okay, I'll--

-You don't stand-- -Okay, don't get shy on me now.

- I won't. - All right.

- Behave, Tamar! - We about to pop it.

Coming up on "Braxton Family Values"...

He took me to the beach.

Think you guys will get back together?

I ain't got time for that.

Be like, bye.

- I'ma ask you... - Uh-huh?

- ...to not... - Oh, stop it.

- Toni, if that's-- - I'm sorry.

I hate that so many wonderful moments get ruined.

I mean, come on. We don't wanna do that.

So what you think?

- It's nice. -Isn't that pretty?

And they open that up.

Their background, their vocals.

What is it called, "Broken Wings"?

- "Broken Things." - "Broken Things."

That's clever. Yay.

- That's a hot song, huh? - I think we need a glass of wine to celebrate.

We don't need wine to celebrate everything.

Yes, we do. Uh-huh.

- Yes, we do. -

Wine makes it all better.

Wine makes everything fine.

-Traci brought sustenance. - Yes!

Wines and cheeses of the...

How you gonna do cheese in the studio?

You just talked about it.

Yeah, we're just listening.

You can't have that if you gotta finish--

- did you finish all your vocals? -Yeah, I'm done.

Toni, this is not our session. This is Traci's session.

This is a family affair.

- Oh, so you're next? -Oh, yeah?

Oh, really?

You gonna do a note?

Background. Who cares?

You're gonna do a note? Uh-uh, you better get her in right now!

- Right now! - Get it in writing!

I don't even know what note I would do,

but y'all done them all.

Make up one, please! Right now!

- Yes, yes, yes! - I don't even know. Let me try something.

Toni love the song.

She came up in there and she went into the booth.

I wanna be a part of this.

I'm so proud of Traci's songs and her albums.

And I was gonna join in and help the other girls

and just have fun being sisters singing

like it was when we were younger.

There we go. I'm done. That's it.

- Wait a minute. - Yes-- you know...

Wait a minute! Wait a minute!

Why you gotta be so disrespectful?

- She made me break my cracker. - Toni, you're so disrespectful.

- Huh? Thank you. - That was yes-uh!

- Yes-uh! -You did it. Oh, my God!

Oh, my God. Toni Braxton. I got Toni Braxton.

I would like to toast.

This turned out to be the perfect,

most blessed project I've ever came across...

-Aw! -Traci!

This is my project, and my sisters came here,

not even knowing that they was gonna be

in the studio, and just did it for me.

You know how we do. We family.

Don't cry.

- Yeah! - Clink, clink, clink.

Clink, clink, clink. Oh, my God.

Tamar! Yes!

- Hiya. - Yes, girl, yes.

So now that I've met August

and I've talked to him, I can tell

how caring him and his mother is.

And I'm really super excited to sing my heart out tonight.

And I'm just hoping I do it justice

because it just really has to go off perfect.

- How y'all doing tonight? -

I said how you guys doing tonight?!

We having a good birthday?

The birthday guy, exactly.

So without any further adieu,

the incredible Miss Tamar Braxton.

Okay, well...

since it's August's birthday...

And my little Tamartian clan...

I mean...

it's only right and necessary to get our life, correct?

Yes!

So how does one do that?

We must twerk for a living.

- Won't he do it? -

So come on, get your life, August.

Come on and twerk with me.

Oh, my God, I love the vibe here tonight.

These are my kind of people.

And I'm just happy that was a special evening,

and I honestly will never forget it.

Hey, Umb.

- What's up, Wanda? - Hey, Ash.

- What's going on? - Hey, Umba.

-You think it's summertime. - You're so little.

Look how little you are.

I could just put you in my purse. Go ahead and get in.

You're saying little, like in short?

- Ha ha ha. - Get in. Get in, little girl.

I'm gonna have on heels. I'm gonna be tall.

-Right, this day. - For this day, yeah.

- This is for New Orleans award thing, right? - Yes.

Next week in New Orleans, I'm being honored

at the McDonald's 365Black Awards.

And it's such a huge honor, a life-time achievement award.

And I think I have to pick out the perfect dress,

and I need Towanda to help me out,

give me a little bit of a second opinion.

Look at this one, though.

That looks like, um...

Let me show you what it looks like.

♪ He wasn't man enough for me. ♪

Just man enough for me. I'm not performing.

- Does it look like that? - That look like stage, boo.

- That is definitely... - That's too stagey. It's stage.

It's performance.

But, you know, I love stuff like this

but you can't sit. It hurts.

- Let me see. - Look, it's ice. It's ice. Crystals.

- This thing is heavy, too, though. - It is heavy.

-I know we don't do silver too much... -Oh, shucks!

-...but-- - That's like me going to the nail salon

and getting my gel polish taken off.

Please try it on. No, try it all the way--

You just wanna laugh. Towanda just wanna laugh at you.

I look like aluminum foil.

I don't think this is gonna work, guys.

You're supposed to be on my side!

I mean, I just wanna see Toni Braxton

in aluminum foil.

That's why I wanted her to try on the dress.

I just wanted her to look like a little teeny, tiny,

you know, hot dog.

I think the white is my best thing for New Orleans.

I'm with it all the way.

Although there's something about this that is kinda cute.

It's like liquid. I'm telling you.

Maybe I should wear it so people can say,

"Ooh, I want a tall glass of Towanda."

But if we go back, I just think the white is it.

I think this one might be it. Let me see.

I think it just looks effortless.

Like, if we just pull one string, the whole thing

could just come down.

-I like the white. -I like the white.

It's, like, a little risqué without being too revealing.

We picked out the perfect dress,

but I feel like it's not it.

I need something that fits New Orleans,

the people, the energy--

something a little more Mardi Gras. I don't know.

I need to maybe look around some more, find some other options.

- Well, no, if I had balls... - You do.

Except I have a vagina, I would wear this.

- If I had balls-- - Toni, you can pull this off.

I really wanna see it on you.

I'm not gonna try it on.

- Hey, girls. -What up?

I brought sustenance.

Wow, you look so thin today. You look really yes.

You look very yes today.

So, look, we're going to New Orleans, yeah?

We are going to New Orleans.

That's my town right there.

I'm getting an award from McDonald's.

But it's about lupus and autism, right?

- Yes. - Yay!

Oh, I didn't know that.

Yeah. That's what the whole celebration is about

- when we go there. - Yeah, I'm excited.

This particular award is so personal to me.

And it's about me helping to bring awareness

to my personal causes, which are Lupus LA

or Autism Speaks.

And I'm really excited to have my sisters there,

and just being honored as a philanthropist

is really important to me.

Well, if you wanna talk about an interesting outing

and interesting evening...

What happened now?

Are you dating?

Uh... no.

I had an outing...

with my "wusband."

With Gabe Solis.

Coming up on "Braxton Family Values"...

-Guess what he said to me. -What?

It was like epiphany moment.

That's something he's never done before.

Tamar, I know you're not talking

because you've lost all this weight,

because you kept climbing that mountain.

Wait, what?

Don't go any further.

This is the longest highway ever.

It's like making my balls itch.

Traci, you don't have any balls.

- I do, too, have balls. - No, you don't.

My ovaries was supposed to have been balls,

but they got sucked up.

That's how a female's balls look.

Those are the female's balls.

They're not a female's balls.

Ovaries are female balls.

- They're not balls. - Yeah, they are.

- You're not a hemaphrodite. - I'm not?

They're not balls; they're ovaries.

That's where your eggs are located.

They came out-- once upon a time

when we was in the embryo, they was balls at first.

- In the womb? - Yeah.

I'm-- I'm sorry. I have to look that up, 'cause...

Okay, "Your baby's internal and external genital structures are the same,

regardless of whether you are ultimately going to have a boy or a girl.

The gonads become either ovaries or testicles."

Shut it.

- You know-- - Everybody has balls.

Okay, so it goes this way 'cause they're ovaries, and they go this way

- when they're balls. - When they're boys, yes.

Shut the-- look at the dia--

Oh, you can't because you're driving.

Learn something new every day, don't you?

Every day.

I had an outing...

with my "wusband."

With Gabe Solis.

He said he wanted to talk to me.

Oh, man, hold on. This is in addition to...

- This is in addition to... - Counseling?

- Counseling. - And drinks.

I guess he had some kind of epiphany.

And he took me to the beach.

Where? What beach?

- In Malibu. - Oh.

Qu-- qu- question!

Why is Gabe still hanging out in LA?

Like, first he showed up during some drinks...

I'm not stepping on anybody's toes. I know...

- they done what they supposed to do. - Whose toes you stepping on?

Yours.

And now he's playing in the sand with Trina.

Like, next thing you know,

Gabe's gonna be popping out in my corn flakes,

and I ain't got time for that.

Like, is he here to stay, or is he here to go?

Like, bye.

Are y'all together or y'all together?

You never know with Trina and Gabe.

- And guess what he said to me. -What?

Well, first of all, he apologized.

And then he said, "You know what?

- I was a horrible husband." - Duh!

It was the ownership that did it for me.

And that gave me all the closure that I needed in the world.

Closure, as in you closed the door?

- Yes. - Think you guys will get back together?

Absolutely not.

Thank you, Jesus. Hallelujah.

Not only no, but uh-uh.

It was like epiphany moment.

It was very cleansing for me

because he finally owned up to it.

Because that's something he had never done before,

'cause he was busy playing the blame game.

I feel like Trina really loves Gabe.

I mean, she's tried to move on. She's always come back.

Sometime love is in your DNA, your bone marrow,

and you can't ever leave it,

and I think that's the case with Trina and Gabe.

Do you think he was a horrible husband?

He was a horrible husband.

You know what? Facts are facts.

Gabe was a horrible husband,

and it sounded amazing to hear him say that.

Well, I had an interesting evening.

-What happened? - What happened?

Well, day before yesterday,

Mrs. Getty called

to see if I could come and perform for her son birthday party.

-Oh, that's right! - Well, that's cool.

Yes, but I didn't know it was the same person.

He's a fashion designer. His name is August Getty.

His clothes are absolutely amazing.

His mom wanted me to come because he had a really rough week

because eight of his friends got killed at Pulse nightclub in Orlando.

Oh, that's so horrible.

- That makes me sad. -That's sad.

It just meant a lot to be able to give back.

'Cause it could've been like-- we all have gay boyfriends.

Hate crimes and such is horrible.

But his birthday turned into, like,

- a celebratory moment. - Bonus.

Yeah, because he was like, I'm the reason

why he and his mom are really close

because they share the fact that they're both Tamartians.

- Aw! Yeah. -Isn't that really cute?

You know when you feel like you made-- meet a life-long friend?

Mm-hmm.

August is pretty gangster. Good times.

How you doing, ladies?

We are here in New Orleans

for the McDonald's 365Black Awards,

and Toni will be receiving

a lifetime achievement award.

Originally, when I had Towanda help me look at a dress,

I liked the little white one. It was sexy, it was frilly.

And then I saw this dress

and said, "This is the perfect dress."

I knew it was it. This is the one."

This lifetime achievement award from McDonald's 365Black,

it is so personal to me,

and it's about me helping to bring awareness

to my personal causes, which are Lupus LA

or Autism Speaks,

and I'm really excited to have my sisters there,

and just being honored as a philanthropist

is really important to me.

Everybody give it up for the one, the only,

the living legend...

Toni Braxton!

Thank you so much. I really appreciate it.

Oh...

You know the doctors told me I had lupus

and they said I would never be able to perform,

but the man upstairs had another plan for me, you know?

I'm still here.

Thank you, guys. I love you very much.

This is the proudest moment of my life,

I promise you, right now.

Thank you again.

I'm at the part of my career

where I get more awards than I get doing new albums.

So my career's changing over.

But any tribute to you in this industry

is a big deal.

And I'm having a big deal happen to me right now.

I'm really excited about it.

-Excellent. Thank you. - Don't you fall down.

Ooh!

I can sit over here? Thank you so much.

-Hey. You changed? - Yeah, I had-- oh, I'm gonna sit over here.

Well, why'd you change? Nobody else changed.

We didn't know. We didn't get the memo about changing.

Well, I changed because I had on--

y'all had a cat suit that was so tight

- it cut... - Oh, my God, you did the right thing.

- Hey! -Hi!

Hey, you guys.

Yay. It's the lady of the hour.

- You go, girl. -It's the living legend, Toni Braxton.

- Come on in. - Mm-wah, mm-wah.

The show was incredible,

and I've arranged a private meal

at this fantastic restaurant for all of us to celebrate.

Toni, let me tell you something--

you are giving me Disney princess right now.

- Do I look like Disney princess? - Yes.

That's because you are a princess.

This is very New Orleans dress...

- Tiana. - Y'all got it?

Yeah, I was going for the New Orleans--

Except for you don't look like a frog.

Toni and the frog.

Yeah, the princess and the frog.

You're too beautiful to be a frog.

We're gonna have New Orleans' best cocktail.

Whatever you guys suggest we should have as a cocktail.

I'm not having what they're having.

Yes, ma'am. What would you like?

I had to hurry up and get that in there.

- Water. - No, no, no, no.

I want a, um, piña colada.

What?!

Mm, yeah.

Coming up on "Braxton Family Values"...

Wait, what?

Don't go any further.

Tamar, you drew the first blood.

Excuse me, that is not funny to me.

- Why is that not funny? - It's not funny to me.

I want a, um, piña colada.

What?!

Mm, yeah.

Without the alcohol.

Oh!

She wants a milkshake.

She want a pineapple milkshake!

That's more like it.

With coconut.

Right.

I don't understand the point of ordering a piña colada

if it's gonna be a virgin anyways.

It seems like it's the year

for Toni to get awards.

I mean, you've been honored four times so far this year.

This is your year. This is it.

You know, this is your year.

- You know... - Remember I said that.

Ma, please tell Tamar to stop.

Are we at the zoo, are we at the zoo?

Tamar's there going...

What is wrong with her?

Well, where is B-b-b?

- He couldn't make it. -We in New Orleans.

- It's his town. - Yeah.

Where-- who? What's his name?

Mr. Funk.

She's looking at something different.

- Oh, okay. - We were worried.

I thought maybe you met somebody,

and you was like-- oh! Got funk.

Why it always turn on me?

'Cause you the only single one at the table!

Look at that!

- I'm single. - But, Trina, you-- you not really single.

That-- that is not true.

She don't deal with him no more.

- There's nothing you could possibly know. - I don't know anything.

I haven't heard anything.

Tamar's really starting to work on my nerves

by insinuating that I'm still dating someone because I'm not.

I haven't seen Tamar in Atlanta for a really long time.

So she wouldn't even know.

So for her to insinuate it

is no bueno.

♪ She like that Black Nasty ♪

♪ Black Nasty. ♪

I'd like, for the record, to say that I am single.

Thank you.

Yeah, you are.

With an occasional...

Tamar, I know you're not talking because you've lost all this weight

'cause you kept climbing that mountain.

Wait, what?

- I missed that. - What happened?

It's not that funny 'cause I'm about to pop off.

I don't care if you pop off.

You can't talk about everybody else, can't nobody anything about you.

Hold on, hold on...

No. What happened? I missed it. What did you say?

I said she lost all that weight

'cause she been climbing that mountain.

What's the mountain?

- Vince. - Vince.

Toast.

To T.B. Toni Braxton.

To T.B. A toast to me.

C'mon, Tamar, pick your glass up.

Come on, everybody.

...you pick on everybody else.

I didn't call her man a mountain.

It was funny. It was cute.

I didn't find it to be funny nor cute.

- I'ma ask you... - Uh-huh?

- ...to not. - Mm-hmm.

- Okay? - Not what?

Don't go any further.

Tamar, you drew first blood,

but we was all playin', it was all in fun.

I'm sorry, excuse me? That is not funny to me.

- Why is that not funny? - That is not funny to me.

-Do you want any of this? - No, Thank you.

-You're not gonna eat? - No.

Come on, guys, don't ruin my day.

Can we focus? It's my day, it's my day. We're supposed to have fun.

I thought it was cute.

It just seems like every time we're having fun

and just having-- being sisters,

it's just something always happens,

someone gets upset about something.

Or Tamar gets mad and says something

inappropriate to someone,

and no one can say anything to her.

But it's all in fun.

We're just laughing, having cocktails.

That's what you're supposed to do.

And I hate that so many wonderful moments get ruined.

Stupid.

Come on, guys, we having fun.

Don't do this. Don't ruin my day.

Please, I'm having a happy day.

So what you want me to do, not be offended?

We're just all having fun. Stop.

I lost weight because I was climbing a mountain?

I'm sorry, excuse me? That is not funny.

- Why is that not funny? - I don't find that funny.

You say anything about anybody else all the time.

You always change it to a whole 'nother situation.

I didn't find that funny. It was very offensive.

Oh, stop it!

- Toni, it that what she wants... - I'm sorry.

There's no need anybody gettin' upset because--

because that's-- I mean, come on.

I just want to have peace just one day.
