MIRACLE,

MIRACLE, COME

MIRACLE, COME ON.

LISTEN.

YOU HOWL, BUT YOU CAN'T BE PEEING EVERYWHERE.

THAT'S NOT GONNA WORK-- THAT AIN'T HOT.

I THINK WE SHOULD PERFORM FOR MOMMY FOR HER WEDDING.

DON'T CHALLENGE, 'CAUSE I CAN MAKE ANYTHING HOT!

I'M EXCITED ABOUT OPENING UP A SALON.

- I NEED TO SEE IT. - WE COULD DO THAT.

IF AIN'T WORKIN' FOR ME, IT'S NOT GONNA WORK FOR YOU.

IT SEEMS TO ME THAT YOU DON'T CARE

WHETHER YOU GET MARRIED OR NOT, AND IT'S FRUSTRATING,

AND IT'S NOT FUN. - MOM, YOU'RE ON 40 RIGHT NOW.

YOU NEED TO COME ON DOWN TO THREE.

- HOW ARE YOU DOIN'? - MAYBE WE SHOULD ELOPE.

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

- OH, THAT SOUNDS GOOD. - THIS BLOUSE...

- I THINK I'M CATCHIN' A COLD. - I CAN TELL.

MOMMY AND DOC ARE GETTING MARRIED IN A FEW WEEKS,

AND I'M GONNA HAVE TO LEAVE THE GIRLS

TO DO THE REST OF THE WEDDING PREPARATION

WITH MOMMY IN ATLANTA 'CAUSE I'M PREPARING

FOR MY UPCOMING SHOW.

SO, I'M GONNA HAVE LUNCH WITH MOMMY

TO GET THE LAST MINUTE DETAILS

I NEED ABOUT PLANNING THE WEDDING.

SO, WHAT'S GOING ON? - GIRL, DON'T ASK.

IF YOU DON'T ASK, I WON'T TELL.

WELL, I'M GONNA ASK, SO YOU'RE GONNA HAVE TO TELL.

- UGH! - TELL ME SOMETHING.

THIS THING'S ABOUT TO DRIVE ME TO DRINK.

- WHAT... WHAT-WHAT? - THIS WEDDING STUFF.

- YEAH. - IT'S A LOT.

- IT IS. - I MEAN, YOU KNOW--

YOU KNOW, I AM A LITTLE ANXIOUS ABOUT THE WEDDING PLANNING,

AND THE BIBLE SAID, "BE ANXIOUS FOR NOTHING,"

SO THERE'S NO NEED FOR THAT.

THIS SHOULD BE A CELEBRATION AND IT'S NOT THAT WAY.

YOU KNOW, THE FOOD AND TRYIN' TO MAKE SURE

THE FOOD IS RIGHT.

YOU DIDN'T DO THIS THE FIRST TIME YOU GOT MARRIED?

UH, NO-- REMEMBER, I GOT MARRIED WHEN I WAS TWO.

SO, IN ESSENCE, THIS IS NEW FOR ME.

BUT YOU'VE HAD DAUGHTERS WHO'VE GOTTEN MARRIED.

YEAH, BUT IT WASN'T ME.

YOU KNOW WHAT I MEAN?

I WISH MOMMY WOULDN'T STRESS OUT ABOUT THE WEDDING.

AND I HOPE THE GIRLS MAKE THE WEDDING PREPARATION FUN

FOR HER-- IT'S NOT THEIR WEDDING.

IT'S MOMMY'S WEDDING.

SO, WHAT ARE YOU GONNA DO? - I DON'T KNOW.

WE'LL SEE.

WE'LL DO-- SEE IF I GET THROUGH IT.

- OKAY. - I KNOW.

OKAY.

SO, WHO PICKED THIS PLACE OUT?

ME.

THEY GOT A LIVE BAND HERE AND EVERYTHING?

I KNOW-- TRINA'S BAND COULD'VE PLAYED HERE.

WE SURE DON'T.

OH, TRACI, THEY HAVE, LIKE, JERK CHICKEN AND STUFF.

OOH, SO WHAT YOU TRYIN' TO SAY?

- YOU LIKE THAT KINDA STUFF. - YOU LIKE THAT STUFF.

SAME TIME-- KNOCK ON WOOD, YOU OWE ME A COKE.

TOWANDA, TRACI, AND I WENT OUT TO LUNCH TODAY

TO DISCUSS SOME DETAILS FOR MOMMY'S WEDDING,

WHICH IS ONLY A MONTH AWAY.

I THINK IT SHOULD BE NICE, A NICE TRADITIONAL WEDDING.

DO YOU THINK SHE'S GONNA WANNA JUMP THE BROOM?

I THINK SHE SHOULD JUMP THE BROOM, TRINA.

GOOD IDEA... DID YOU JUMP THE BROOM?

NO... MY HUSBAND'S MEXICAN.

BUT YOU'RE NOT.

YOU THINK IT WOULD MAKE-- YOU THINK A BROOM

WOULDA MADE ALL THE DIFFERENCE IN THE WORLD?

YEAH.

I-I DON'T THINK ANY KIND OF TRADITION MANDATES

WHETHER OR NOT SOMEBODY'S GONNA STAY MARRIED.

- TRACI JUMPED THE BROOM. - I JUMPED THE BROOM.

I DON'T THINK THERE'S ANY ONE THING THAT COULD

MAKE A MARRIAGE STAY TOGETHER OR FALL APART.

WHAT SONG MOMMY AND THEM GOING TO DO FOR THEIR...

FIRST DANCE?

'CAUSE THEY DIDN'T GET THEM SONGS YET, DID THEY?

I THINK WE SHOULD SING, ALL THE GIRLS.

I THINK THAT WOULD TOUCH MOMMY'S HEART.

I THINK IT WOULD BE AMAZING.

I THINK IT'LL BE A GREAT IDEA FOR US

TO SING A SONG FOR MOMMY'S WEDDING.

IT'LL MEAN SO MUCH TO HER.

THAT WOULD BE DOPERIZATION AT IT'S FINE--

TOWANDA, WHAT MADE YOU THINK ABOUT THAT!

I CAN THINK-- I HAVE A BRAIN.

I WENT TO SEE THE WIZARD.

YOU KNOW, WANDA THINKS ON HER TOES ALL THE DANG TIME.

YOU'RE LIKE THE COWARDLY LION.

THE COWARDLY LION NEEDED COURAGE.

- BUT WHO NEEDED A BRAIN? - THE SCARECROW.

- THE SCARECROW. - MICHAEL JACKSON.

I THOUGHT HE NEEDED A HEART.

- THAT'S THE TIN MAN! - NO, THAT WAS THE TIN MAN!

OH.

WHO'S GONNA CALL TONI OR TAMAR WITH THIS?

I'LL CALL 'EM.

TONI IS SORT OF A SUCKER FOR GETTIN' THE FAMILY TOGETHER,

'CAUSE SHE LIKES THAT TYPE OF STUFF.

YES.

WHAT DO YOU THINK TAMAR'S GONNA SAY?

- I MEAN, I KNOW-- - WHY WOULDN'T--

TAMAR WOULD DO IT... I THINK SHE WOULD DO IT.

- YOU THINK SHE WILL? - YEAH.

- SHE MIGHT THINK IT'S FUN. - FOR MOMMY'S WEDDING?

FOR MOMMY'S WEDDING? - I THINK IT'D BE FUN.

THIS'LL BE OUR GIFT FOR MOMMY.

I THINK MY MOTHER'S HAVIN' RESERVATIONS

ABOUT THIS WEDDING, BECAUSE FOR REAL,

SHE IS AFRAID TO FALL IN LOVE AGAIN.

SHE SAY SHE IN LOVE,

BUT SHE'S AFRAID OF THAT HEART BEIN' BROKE.

WELL, I HAVE TO LEAVE TO GO BACK TO MARYLAND

'CAUSE I HAVE TO MEET AN INVESTOR FOR MY SALON.

- WELL, CONGRATULATIONS! - THANK YOU.

EVERYBODY'S TRYIN' TO DO THEIR OWN PROJECT,

AND THE BRAXTON FAMILY ALBUM IS STILL IN LIMBO.

SO, IT'S TIME FOR ME TO GROW UP AND DO THINGS BY MYSELF,

AND I'VE BEEN WANTING TO OPEN UP A SALON

SINCE MY MOM HAD HER SALON IN THE KITCHEN.

WHAT'S THE NEXT STEP?

UM, LOOK AT LOCATIONS.

SO, I DO HAVE A COUPLE OF LOCATIONS TO LOOK AT.

- MMM-HMM. - MMM-HMM.

- AND I'M-I'M EXCITED. - I THINK IT'S PRETTY DOPE.

- THANK YOU. - I THINK IT'S FABULOUS.

I HAD NO IDEA THAT TRACI WAS GETTING AN INVESTOR.

GOOD FOR HER.

TRINA, WHERE'D YOU GET THAT JACKET?

MOMMY GAVE IT TO ME.

YOU DON'T LIKE MY JACKET?

I MEAN, YOU LOOK LIKE- YOU LOOK A LITTLE MUPPETY.

WHAT DO YOU-- WHY, WHAT DO YOU MEAN?

THAT IS FUNNY.

REMEMBER THE MUPPET THAT WAS PLAYIN' THE PIANO?

THAT'S WHAT IT LOOKS LIKE TO ME.

I MEAN, IT'S CUTE, THOUGH.

OH-OH-OH.

HI, POOKE-A-LOOKE-- YOU'RE HOME.

YES, YOU'RE NOT A NEW YORK DOG, OKAY.

YOU'RE AN L.A. DOG.

VINCE GOT SICK IN NEW YORK CITY.

DON'T GET ME WRONG, I LOVE NEW YORK,

BUT I DON'T LOVE NEW YORK, BEIN' IN A HOSPITAL,

DEALIN' WITH ALL THIS STRESS WITH MY HUSBAND.

LIKE, IT'S BEEN SO LONG SINCE WE BEEN HOME

AND WE JUST MISS IT LIKE CRAZY.

COME ON-- WE GOTTA GO HOME.

OOH, SORRY, BOO-- I GOT YOU.

I THINK VINCE HAD A LITTLE ANXIETY GETTING ON THE PLANE.

YOU KNOW VINCE, HE ALWAYS GOTTA PLAY THE TOUGH GUY.

MISTER, YOU KNOW, I'M SO SUPER, DUPER COOL AND STUFF,

SO I'M THE ONE WHO TOOK THE VALIUM, 'CAUSE I'M THE ONE WHO,

YOU KNOW, HAD TO PUT, PRETTY MUCH, PUT UP WITH EVERYTHING.

GOOD TO HAVE YOU BACK.

- GEORGEY GEORGE. - GOOD TO SEE YOU.

- GOOD TO BE SEEN, GEORGE. - YOU LOOK GREAT.

- I FEEL GREAT. - GOOD.

IT'S BEEN A LONG TIME.

I BEEN THROUGH, UH, HELL AND BACK.

THE IMPORTANT PART IS WE'RE BACK.

GEORGEY, MAN, I COULDN'T WALK.

FOR HOW LONG?

I WA-WAS IN A COMA FOR FIVE DAYS.

MMM-HMM.

AND WHEN I CAME OUT, ALL I COULD MOVE WAS MY NECK,

AND MY WIFE WAS RIGHT THERE FOR ME, EVERY STEP OF THE WAY.

JUST, YOU KNOW, IT JUST MAKES YOU--

YOU LOVE PEOPLE, BUT I LOVE HER EVEN MORE NOW.

YOU KNOW? - EXACTLY.

- SO SWEET. - BUT GOD IS GOOD.

AND WE GOT A NEW, LITTLE BOY.

A DOG THAT ACTS JUST LIKE VINCE.

HEY.

HE JUST LOOKS AT ME LIKE I'M CRAZY,

AND HE'LL WALK OUT OF THE ROOM.

- HE LOVES TO EAT, TOO. - OH, BOY, THAT'S GOOD.

JUST LIKE HIS DADDY.

WHENEVER HE GETS DOWN FIRST, HE'S GONNA TAKE A LEAK.

I WANT HIM TO START GOIN' OUTSIDE.

TAMAR, HE CAN'T GO OUTSIDE.

- THAT'S WHAT THE DOCTOR SAID? - YES, HE CAN'T GO OUTSIDE.

DOGS CATCH DISEASES AND STUFF FROM BEIN' OUTSIDE.

WHAT ABOUT GOIN' OUTSIDE TO PEE?

OOH, IT'S HOT IN HERE.

YOU'RE LOOKIN' MORE AND MORE LIKE YOUR MOM EVERYDAY.

I KNOW, RIGHT?

THAT MEAN I'M GONNA STAY YOUNG LOOKIN', HONEY.

YOU KNOW.

I FLEW BACK TO MARYLAND, AND TODAY I'M HAVING LUNCH

WITH MY POTENTIAL INVESTOR FOR MY HAIR SALON, DADDY.

DADDY, I BROUGHT YOU HERE BECAUSE...

I HAVE A NEW BUSINESS PROPOSITION.

I WANT TO TALK TO YOU ABOUT THIS NEW SALON BUSINESS

I WANNA OPEN UP. - WHEN DID THIS COME ABOUT?

UH, ABOUT A COUPLE OF MONTHS AGO.

WHAT DOES TRACI WANT FOR TRACI?

I'M THINKIN' ABOUT GOIN' BACK TO THIS HAIR SCHOOL.

THAT'S A GREAT FIELD.

AND MAYBE WHEN YOU TALK TO THE GIRLS,

THEY MAY EVEN WANNA GO IN ON IT ALSO.

WHEN I OPEN UP THE SHOP,

I THOUGHT I CAN GET SOME INVESTORS, MY SISTERS.

YOU GOTTA BE REALISTIC WITH YOUR DREAMS.

IT'S REALLY IMPORTANT FOR ME

TO HAVE MY FAMILY BEHIND ME ON THIS.

I DON'T WANNA DO THIS BY MYSELF.

THE REASON I BROUGHT YOU HERE SO I CAN TALK TO YOU.

I'M READY TO MAKE A MOVE... YOU GOING TO INVEST?

- TRACI, I KNOW YOU. - MMM-HMM.

- YOUR PASSION IS SINGING. - YES, IT IS.

SINGING, RIGHT NOW, I DON'T THINK IS A CONCRETE THING.

TRACI HAS TO THINK ABOUT LONGEVITY.

I DON'T KNOW.

I'M VERY CAREFUL WITH MY INVESTMENTS.

I THINK TRACI'S UNDERESTIMATING THE WORK

THAT'S INVOLVED IN GETTING A BUSINESS LIKE THIS

OFF THE GROUND.

AND BESIDES, TRACI'S A GREAT SINGER

AND SHE SHOULDN'T ABANDON HER SINGING.

TRAY, THAT'S A LOT OF WORK, A LOT OF DEDICATION.

HAVE YOU SEEN THE PLACE YET?

I'VE SEEN THE PLACE AND IT'S REALLY NICE.

- I NEED TO SEE IT. - WE COULD DO THAT.

IF IT AIN'T WORKIN' FOR ME, IT'S NOT GONNA WORK FOR YOU.

- SO-- - I DON'T WANT YOU TO THINK

THAT I'M AGAINST WHAT YOU'RE DOIN'.

NO, I KNOW YOU TRYIN' TO MAKE ME THINK LOGIC.

I JUST WANT YOU TO LOOK AT THE BIG PICTURE.

I CAN MANAGE IT.

YOU DON'T EVEN HAVE A NAME FOR IT.

- BEULEVE. - BEULEVE?

- BEU, FROM BEULAH. - AND EVE, IS EVE.

- DON'T PUT MY MOTHER IN THIS. - WHY?

- BECAUSE. - THEY'RE MY GRANDPARENTS.

BEULEVE...

I BEULEVE THAT YOU WANT ME TO JUST HELP FINANCIALLY

AND KEEP MY MOUTH SHUT.

- NO. - I DON'T THINK SO.

LOOKS LIKE DADDY'S GONNA BE A TOUGHER NUT TO CRACK

THAN I THOUGHT.

BEFORE YOU GO ANY FURTHER, GET ANOTHER NAME.

COMING UP ON "BRAXTON FAMILY VALUES"...

DON'T TALK BACK TO YOUR MAMA... OKAY.

YOU KNOW WHAT WE DO 'ROUND HERE

WHEN YOU TALKIN' BACK TO YOUR MAMA.

YOU MIGHT GET THE PISSED SLAPPED OUT OF YOU.

MOMMY, PICK SOMETHING OUT THAT YOU LIKE.

NO.

OH, NOT THOSE.

MOM, YOU ON 40 RIGHT NOW.

YOU NEED TO COME ON DOWN TO THREE.

COME ON DOWN TO THREE. - WE'RE IN A BRIDAL SHOP.

WE'RE NOT SUPPOSED TO BE ARGUING.

OH.

WE'RE SUPPOSED TO BE DRINKING AND LOOKING.

AS

AS PROMISED,

AS PROMISED, MY

AS PROMISED, MY DAD

AS PROMISED, MY DAD CAME

AS PROMISED, MY DAD CAME WITH

AS PROMISED, MY DAD CAME WITH ME

AS PROMISED, MY DAD CAME WITH ME AND

AS PROMISED, MY DAD CAME WITH ME AND MY

AS PROMISED, MY DAD CAME WITH ME AND MY REAL

AS PROMISED, MY DAD CAME WITH ME AND MY REAL ESTATE

AS PROMISED, MY DAD CAME WITH ME AND MY REAL ESTATE BROKER,

FREDERICKA, TO LOOK AT THE POTENTIAL SPACE

I WOULD HAVE FOR MY SALON.

THE LANDLORD IS GIVING US A TOUR

AND I HOPE MY DAD LOVES IT.

IT'S 1600 SQUARE FOOT.

THAT'S WHAT WE'RE TALKIN' ABOUT.

IT'S NEVER BEEN LEASED OUT,

AND THAT'S WHY IT'S SO BARE BONES.

- MMM-HMM. - OKAY, AND NOW THE FLOOR PLAN,

I CAN DO WHATEVER I WANT ON THE FLOOR PLAN?

IT ALL DEPENDS ON WHAT YOU WANT TO DO WITH THE SPACE.

IF YOU GUYS HAVE, LIKE, A LAYOUT

THAT YOU WANNA WORK WITH. - SO, YOU NEED A PLAN?

YOU NEED A BUSINESS PLAN. - YEAH... YEAH.

I DON'T THINK TRACI HAS CAREFULLY THOUGHT

THIS MATTER THROUGH-- THIS IS BUSINESS 101.

YOU GOTTA HAVE A PLAN FIRST-- TRACI DON'T HAVE A PLAN.

I SEE YOU HAVE A, UH, BARBERSHOP OVER THERE.

YES, OKAY-- SO, THAT'S ONE THING.

WE CAN'T-WE CAN'T DO MEN'S HAIR, AS WELL.

SO, IF THIS IS EXCLUSIVELY A WOMAN'S SALON.

I CAN'T HAVE ONE, THOUGH... JUST ONE?

UM, IT'S GONNA BE TOUGH.

THE LOCATION MIGHT BE A NICE BUILDING,

IT'S NICE AND SPACIOUS,

BUT THERE'S TOO MUCH COMPETITION IN THE AREA.

- ARE YOU GONNA DO NAILS? - YES.

THERE'S A NAIL SALON HERE, TOO.

WHAT THE--

I DIDN'T EVEN CONSIDER THE COMPETITION AROUND THE MALL.

THIS IS NOT MAKIN' ME LOOK GOOD AT ALL,

ESPECIALLY NOT IN FRONT OF MY POTENTIAL INVESTOR.

I'M SAYIN' THAT WE DEFINITELY HAVE TO HAVE

A CONVERSATION ABOUT THIS.

UH, YES, YES, YES.

- HE WENT OUTSIDE ALREADY? - NO-- I WANNA PUT HIM DOWN.

I JUST WANNA WAIT 'TIL WE GET THE WEE WEE PADS,

SO HE GOES ON THEM. - THE WEE WEE PADS.

YOU DON'T THINK IT'S OKAY FOR HIM TO GO OUTSIDE?

NO, BABY-- HE CAN'T GO OUTSIDE.

HE'S A LITTLE PUPPY.

YEAH, 'CAUSE IF HE PEE ON MY PERSIAN RUGS,

I DON'T KNOW WHAT I'M GONNA DO.

I'M SORRY, VINCE. - TAMAR, PLEASE, STOP.

WE GOTTA ESTABLISH RULES.

EVERYBODY HAS RULES AND REGULATIONS.

BUT HE CAN'T- HE CAN'T--

HE DON'T WANT TO HEAR YOU TALKIN' TO HIM LIKE THAT.

WE HAVE TO HAVE A TALK JUST LIKE, YOU KNOW, WITH KIDS,

YOU GOTTA TEACH 'EM SO THEY CAN GROW UP

AND DO THE RIGHT THING.

HE DOESN'T WANT YOU TO TALK TO HIM LIKE THAT.

YEAH-- LET ME TALK TO HIM.

THAT'S MINE, TOO, THOUGH.

- NO. - I'M THE MAMA.

NO, YOU'RE NOT-- IT'S NOT YOUR DOG.

WE GOTTA GO BYE, BOO-BOOS.

LET'S START THIS WEE WEE PAD, UM, WEE WEE STUFF IN HERE,

THAT WAY IT WON'T STINK UP THE HOUSE.

HE'S ABOUT TO PEE ON THE CARPET.

DON'T PEE ON THE CARPET... DID HE DO IT?

LISTEN, YOU HOME, BUT YOU CAN'T BE PEEIN' EVERYWHERE.

THAT'S NOT GONNA WORK-- THAT AIN'T HOT!

AND YOU KNOW WHAT, EVERYBODY WILL CALL YOU THE FUNKY DOG.

YOU CAN'T PEE ON THE RUG.

DID HE JUST PEE ON THE FLOOR.

VINCE.

WE CAN TAKE THAT SWEATER OFF OF HIM.

EVERY TIME I TRY TO, YOU KNOW, CHASTISE THE LITTLE DOG

ABOUT, YOU KNOW, PEEIN' ALL OVER MY ITALIAN FLOORS,

VINCE IS LIKE, "LISTEN, DON'T TALK TO MY DOG LIKE THAT."

HE'LL TAKE THE DOG, PICK HIM UP, BE LIKE,

"LISTEN, MIRACLE, DON'T PEE ON THE FLOOR."

SO, WE'LL JUST HAVE A PISSY HOUSE, I GUESS.

HEY, THERE, MIRACLE.

YOU WANT TO PLAY, DON'T YOU?

I CAN SEE IT NOW.

THIS GONNA BE A PEE PEE HOUSE.

MIRACLE, UH-UH-UH!

MIRACLE!

MIRACLE!

COME ON-- GO PEE PEE.

MIRACLE, COME ON!

NO, NO, NO, NO!

NO, NO, NO, NO, NO!

NOT IN THERE.

I HAVE EXPENSIVE RUGS IN THERE.

SAY WHAT YOU WANT TO SAY.

DON'T TALK BACK TO YOUR MAMA, OKAY?

'CAUSE YOU KNOW HOW WE DO AROUND HERE

WHEN YOU TALK BACK TO YOUR MAMA.

YOU MIGHT GET THE PISS SLAPPED OUT OF YOU.

MIRACLE, DON'T PEE ON MY FLOOR, NOW!

HE'S NOT THINKIN' ABOUT PEEING ON THE FLOOR.

AND IF HE DOES, I'LL CLEAN IT UP.

GET-GET-- COME OUT OF THAT ROOM.

OVER HERE.

THAT AIN'T FLEAS, IS IT?

- LET ME GET THE DOOR, BABY. - THANK YOU, DADDY.

THANK YOU.

SO, HOW DID YOU LIKE THE PLACE?

IT'S A GOOD LOCATION.

UH, I'M KIND OF RESERVED ABOUT, UH,

THE HAIR CUTTERY THERE, THE NAILS THERE.

RIGHT.

I DON'T KNOW IF YOU COULD DO THAT THERE AT THAT PLACE.

RIGHT.

BUT YOU ASKED ME FOR TWO THINGS.

YOU ASKED ME FOR MY OPINION AND THEN YOU TALKED TO ME

A LITTLE BIT ABOUT FINANCE.

YOU'RE DADDY JUST DON'T THROW MONEY OUT THERE

JUST AT ANY WHIM. - MMM-HMM.

WELL, WHAT IF I JUST BAT MY EYES AND SAID,

"COME ON, DADDY, PLEASE."

YOU CAN BAT YOUR EYES, YOU CAN BOOGALOO DOWN BROADWAY,

BUT DAD DON'T GIVE UP MONEY LIKE THAT.

I KNOW THAT-- YOU CAN BE A SILENT PARTNER.

YEAH, BUT I DON'T GIVE UP MONEY AND KEEP MY MOUTH SHUT.

YOU KNOW, I LOVE MY DAUGHTER.

I'LL GIVE HER MY EMOTIONAL SUPPORT, BUT FINANCIALLY,

TRACI'S NOT READY, AND DAD'S NOT READY

TO PUT HIS MONEY IN THERE.

TRACI, BOTTOM LINE, GET THE BUSINESS PLAN AND GET A NAME.

- OKAY. - AND WE WORK FROM THERE.

I BEULEVE I CAN DO THAT.

LORD, WELL, I BEULEVE I CAN PRAY ABOUT IT.

WE'RE READY TO FIND THAT DRESS!

WELCOME TO WINNIE COUTURE ATLANTA.

ALL RIGHT, LADIES.

TODAY IS OUR SECOND FULL DAY

OF LOOKING AT WEDDING DRESSES FOR MOMMY.

TAMAR JUST FLEW BACK IN FROM L.A.

TRACI JUST GOT BACK FROM THE DMV,

'CAUSE WE ALL NEED TO HELP MOMMY FIND A DRESS.

MOMMY HAS ABOUT ONE MONTH LEFT BEFORE THE WEDDING,

AND IT'S PROBABLY GONNA TAKE ABOUT THAT LONG

TO GET THE DRESS ALTERED,

SO, MOMMY REALLY NEEDS TO FIND A DRESS TODAY.

- DON'T YOU THINK? - YES-- THAT'S CUTE.

- YEAH. - WELL, NOT EXACTLY.

MOMMY, PICK SOMETHING UP THAT YOU LIKE.

YEAH, WE'RE NOT GONNA TOUCH ANYMORE DRESSES.

YEAH, I'M GONNA LET YOU DO IT.

YOU TOUCH ONE.

I HAVE TO DO ALL THE TOUCHING.

- WITH YOUR MIDAS TOUCH. - OH, MY GOD,

'CAUSE YOU HAVE TO WEAR IT.

OH, OKAY, NO.

NO... NO.

OH, NO, NOT THOSE.

QUITE FRANKLY, I DON'T EVEN THINK

MOMMY ACTUALLY WANNA GET MARRIED.

OH, OOH, DID I SAY THAT?

WH-WH-WHERE'S THE GIRLS?

GIRLS, I THINK I FOUND IT!

- WE FOUND A DRESS. - I FOUND THE DRESS.

COME. - LET ME JUST SEE.

NO, HOW 'BOUT YOU SURPRISE US, TRYIN' IT ON.

- ALL RIGHT. - JUST TRY IT ON.

- TRY IT ON. - TRY IT ON.

- WE'RE GONNA SIT DOWN. - TRY ON-TRY ON-- HALLELUJAH!

I AM GLAD MY MAMA IS FINALLY BEING DECISIVE,

BECAUSE I DON'T KNOW IF I CAN TAKE ANY NONSENSE RIGHT NOW.

LIKE WITH VINCE'S RECOVERY, A NEW DAMN DOG,

FLYIN' IN FROM L.A., LEAVIN' MY BABY ALL ALONE,

MY STOMACH IS DOIN' BACKFLIPS,

AND SOMETHIN' IS SMELLIN' REAL FUNKALICIOUS RIGHT NOW IN HERE.

HOW 'BOUT WE HAVE MINTS ALL THE WAY AROUND?

WHO HAS A BREATH TRANQUILLIZER?

DOESN'T SMELL GREAT.

WHAT I SMELL IS 1970 "SOUL TRAIN"

AFTER 30 PEOPLE DONE DID THE SNAKE ON THE FLOOR FUNK.

- IT AIN'T ME! - WOW!

THAT RIGHT THERE-- NO.

MY GIRLS ARE GETTING STRESSED OUT

ABOUT THIS DRESS SHOPPING.

SO, HOPEFULLY, WHEN I WEAR THIS RIDICULOUS DRESS

THAT I'M GOING TO WEAR, MAYBE THAT WILL RELAX THEM

AND WE CAN GET A GOOD LAUGH OUT OF IT,

BECAUSE THEY'RE WORKING ON MY LAST NERVES.

I'M ABOUT TO UPCHUCK.

WELL, GO TO THE BATHROOM.

WELL, WE CAN REMEMBER-- YOU MIGHT BE PREGNANT, TAMAR.

- THAT'S WHAT I'M THINKIN'. - GET YOUR LIFE!

THAT USUALLY WHAT HAPPENS WITH SMELLS.

I'M PREGNANT WITH FRIED CHICKEN.

I'M JUST SAYIN' YOUR NOSE IS SENSITIVE.

THEM SMELLS... YEAH, THEM SMELLS.

- EVERYBODY-- - HERE.

YOU CAN SMELL A STANK-ASS BREATH, TOWANDA.

YOU-YOU DON'T GOT TO BE PREGNANT,

BECAUSE YOU'RE LIKE, "I HOPE SOMEBODY FARTED

"BECAUSE IT STINKS SO BAD."

BUT-BUT-BUT--

HOW MY SISTER GOIN' TO THINK I'M PREGNANT?

HELLO, MY HUSBAND'S BEEN IN THE HOSPITAL

AND NOW HE'S RECOVERING.

LIKE, HOW'M I BE PREGNANT?

- LET ME SEE YOUR STOMACH. - I AM NOT PREGNANT.

I AM JUST FAT.

I AM NOT PREGNANT. - I HAVE TO AGREE.

YOU GOTTA DO IT TO GET PREGNANT

AND HAVE SEVERAL SINCE.

- JUST SAYIN'. - BLAH.

YES, 'CAUSE GRINDIN' DON'T GET YOU...

GRINDIN' DON'T MAKE A TIDING, OKAY?

- ALL RIGHT. - ALL RIGHT, GUYS.

- THIS IS IT. - OKAY.

THIS IS THE DRESS-- THIS IS IT.

GIRL!

- YOU BETTER GET-- - OH, OH, OH!

THIS IS THE DRESS-- CLOSE YOUR MOUTH, TRINA.

OH, OH-- WHAT Y'ALL THINK?

YOU THINK I SHOULD HAVE IT HEMMED A LITTLE BIT?

OKAY, GOOD.

- ALL RIGHT, LET'S DO IT. - OH, I LOVE THIS.

THANK YOU SO MUCH. - YOU'RE WELCOME.

MOMMY IS NOT TAKING THIS SERIOUSLY.

- YOU THINK SHE GONNA ELOPE? - THAT'S WHAT I'M THINKING.

I THINK SHE SHOULD ELOPE.

I'M THINKIN' MAYBE SHE WANTS TO ELOPE

'CAUSE SHE DON'T WANNA TELL US 'CAUSE SHE THINKS THAT

WE ARE MORE EXCITED ABOUT IT

AND WE COULD REALLY GIVE TWO SHAKES OF A RAT'S BEHIND

HOW IT ACTUALLY GO DOWN.

ABOUT AS SMALL AMOUNT AS YOU KNOW WHAT.

I'M JUST BEIN' HONEST, SO.

YOU CAN'T PUT YOUR RESPONSIBILITY--

YOUR PLANS ON EVERYBODY ELSE.

TO FIGURE-- - THAT'S WHAT I JUST SAID.

RIGHT, TO FIGURE IT OUT FOR YOU.

TO FIGURE IT OUT.

- BECAUSE IT'S NOT-- - FOR YOUR WEDDING.

MOMMY, CAN WE FOCUS?

I'M SORRY, WHAT- WHAT DID YOU SAY?

SO, YOU REALLY WANNA DO THIS?

YOU REALLY WANNA GET MARRIED?

DO I WANNA GET MARRIED?

COMING UP ON "BRAXTON FAMILY VALUES"...

IT'S NOT JUST THAT YOU DON'T LIKE ANYTHING,

YOU'RE NOT POINTING ANYONE IN THE RIGHT DIRECTION

TO WHAT YOU DO LIKE.

OH!

- I DON'T WANNA SING THAT. - TAMAR!

IT'S NOT ABOUT WHAT WE WANT.

IT'S ABOUT WHAT MOMMY WANTS TO HEAR.

MOMMY,

MOMMY, CAN

MOMMY, CAN WE

MOMMY, CAN WE FOCUS?

SO, YOU REALLY WANNA DO THIS?

YOU REALLY WANNA GET MARRIED?

WHAT?

HAVE A WEDDIN'... A BIG WEDDIN'?

- DO I WANNA GET MARRIED? - YEAH.

I KNOW IT JUST SEEM LIKE I'M PROCRASTINATING.

THAT'S NOT IT.

I'M JUST-I'M JUST NOT, UM, A 100% SURE.

NOT ABOUT MARRYING DOC.

I'M 100% SURE ABOUT THAT.

I MEAN, THE DETAILS, THE PARTICULARS OF IT.

I THOUGHT THE GIRLS WAS GOING TO MAKE MOST OF

THE DECISION ABOUT THE LITTLE DETAILS.

HOWEVER, THEY'RE CAUSING MORE STRESS THAN BEING HELPFUL.

'CAUSE IT SEEMS TO ME YOU DON'T CARE WHETHER

YOU GET MARRIED OR NOT, AND IT'S FRUSTRATING,

AND IT'S NOT FUN, AND IT SHOULD BE.

THAT'S A LITTLE TRUE, MOMMY, 'CAUSE YOU HELPED EVERYBODY

PLAN THEIR WEDDIN', EXCEPT FOR TOWANDA.

TOWANDA DID IT.

I MEAN, YOU KNOW, WE WENT TO GO LOOK FOR DRESSES.

EVERYBODY KNEW THEIR COLORS.

EVERYBODY KNEW THEIR FABRICS.

WE NEEDED TO KNOW WHAT COLOR MOMMY WANTED

OUR BRIDESMAID DRESSES TO BE,

AND EVEN THAT DECISION WAS A STRUGGLE FOR HER.

AS A MATTER OF FACT, THIS IS THE ONLY REAL DECISION

SHE'S MADE THUS FAR.

I WANT TO MAKE SURE THAT YOU GUYS FEEL COMFORTABLE

IN WHAT YOU'RE WEARIN'. - IT'S NOT ABOUT THAT.

- WE'RE NOT MARRYIN' DOC. - I UNDERSTAND THAT.

BUT WHAT COLOR DID I SAY I WANTED?

NOW, SHE SAID SHE WANTED BLUSH.

SHE SAID, "IT'S DEFINITIVE TO BLUSH."

BUT YOU GAVE ME 24 HOURS TO MAKE UP MY MIND.

THAT'S WHY 'CAUSE WE HAVE 24 HOURS TO PLAN!

- DID I NOT MAKE UP MY MIND? - NOW, YOU DID.

WELL, WHAT DOES YOUR MIND TELL YOU?

WHAT-WHAT COLOR IS IN YOUR MIND TELLING YOU?

IT'S BLUSH.

- I LIKE TO HEAR IT FROM MOMMY. - BLUSH.

I'M GONNA NEED YOU TO STAY WITH IT.

I NEED YOU-- I'M TRYIN' TO TELL YOU.

TOWANDA TOLD YOU THE COLOR, BUT YOU WANT ME TO SAY IT.

SO, I'M LET-LETTIN' YOU KNOW, BLUSH.

MOM, YOU ON 40 RIGHT NOW.

YOU NEED TO COME ON DOWN TO THREE.

- OH-OH. - COME ON DOWN TO THREE.

WE'RE BRIDAL SHOPPING-- WE'RE NOT SUPPOSED TO BE ARGUING.

OH.

WE'RE SUPPOSED TO BE DRINKING AND LOOKING.

- RIGHT. - GO AHEAD.

YOU KNOW, WE ALL LOVED GETTING READY FOR OUR WEDDINGS.

WE HELPED EACH OTHER, AND MOMMY HELPED US,

AND IT WAS REALLY A GREAT BONDING MOMENT FOR US,

AND WE WANTED TO SHARE THAT MOMENT WITH MOMMY, AS WELL.

BUT SHE'S BEING SO DISMISSIVE ABOUT EVERYTHING,

AND IT'S JUST, LIKE, NO FUN AT ALL.

SHE'S BEING A FUN SNATCHER FOR HER OWN WEDDING.

AND THEN YOU DON'T LIKE NOTHIN'.

- EH! - EH!

- EH! - BUT NOT JUST THAT.

IT'S NOT JUST THAT YOU DON'T LIKE ANYTHING,

YOU'RE NOT POINTING ANYONE IN THE RIGHT DIRECTION

TO WHAT YOU DO LIKE.

SO, I'M SUPPOSED TO SAY "YES" TO SOME STUFF

AND "I DON'T LIKE IT" OR "IT'S NOT ME"?

- YES! - YES!

NO-NO, WHAT I'M SAYING IS-- NO, WHAT I'M SAYING IS,

IF IT'S NOT YOU, TELL US WHAT IS YOU.

IF YOU DON'T LIKE A COLOR, TELL US WHAT COLOR YOU WANT.

PREACH.

IF YOU DON'T KNOW HOW MANY PEOPLE YOU WANT,

FIGURE IT OUT. - HALLELUJAH!

TRINA, YOU'RE THE HOLY GHOST.

AND LET US KNOW, 'CAUSE IT'S NOT FUN TRYIN' TO PLAY

THE GUESSING GAME FOR YOUR WEDDING.

LOOKS LIKE WE'RE LEAVING HERE WITHOUT A DRESS, AGAIN.

WHAT I WILL DO IS TRY THE DRESS ON THAT I MOST LIKE,

HOW 'BOUT THAT? - OKAY.

- GO YE THEREFORE. - OKAY, GO YE THEREFORE.

I WILL DO THAT-- THANK YOU, LADIES.

THANK YOU SO MUCH.

YOUR FINGER SMELLS ALL RIGHT?

IT SMELLS BETTER THAN THE SKUNK I SMELLED.

HOPEFULLY, IT WASN'T MINE.

IT WASN'T MINE.

OOH... OOH.

- THERE YOU GO. - WOW!

LET ME SEE.

OOH!

OOH.

- I THINK IT'S LOVELY. - I LIKE THIS DRESS.

I THINK IT'S BEAUTIFUL-- I THINK IT'S ME.

- THAT'S NICE, TOO, MOM. - THIS IS IT.

OOH, HALLELUJAH-- I AM SO EXCITED.

MY MOM WAS, LIKE, DRESSED TO IMPRESS, READY TO PARTY.

- I LOVE THE SHOULDERS. - HALL-LE-LU-YER!

WELL, THANK YOU, GUYS, SO MUCH.

- THANK YOU. - SEE YA-- BYE.

- BYE. - COME ON, MISS BRIDE-TO-BE.

HEY, TRAY-RAY.

AFTER GOIN' SHOPPING WITH MOMMY, I DECIDED TO ASK

ALL OF MY SISTERS BACK TO MY HOUSE

SO THAT WE CAN JUST RELAX.

WAS YOUR ROOM COMFORTABLE, TRACI?

MY STOMACH HIT IN MY LAP WHEN I SIT.

WELL, DID YOU EAT SOMETHING THAT HAD SALT IN IT.

NO, IT'S-- TOWANDA, I WISH I COULD SAY,

"I FLEW YESTERDAY, SO I'M A LITTLE PUFFY."

- THAT'S-- - NO, THAT'S NOT--

OH.

IT'S "BITCH, YOU ATE TOO MUCH, SO YOU FAT."

POINT BLANK.

PERIOD.

WE ARE GOING TO TALK TO TAMAR ABOUT THE IDEA

FOR SINGING AT MOMMY'S WEDDING,

AND HOPEFULLY, TAMAR WILL BE ON BOARD.

I THINK WE SHOULD PERFORM FOR MOMMY

OR SING A SONG FOR HER FOR HER WEDDING.

AND I'M NOT TRYIN' TO RAIN ON NO ONE'S PARADE, HOWEVER,

WE CAN'T NEVER GET TOGETHER TO REHEARSE,

TO HAVE A WONDERFUL, ADEQUATE PERFORMANCE.

OF COURSE, REHEARSAL HAVEN'T EVEN STARTED YET

AND TAMAR IS ALREADY COMPLAININ'.

MAYBE, TAMAR, IF YOU SHUT YOUR MOUTH A LITTLE BIT,

WE CAN GET THINGS STARTED.

LET'S TRY THIS FOR MOMMY,

'CAUSE, YES, WE DID UP FOR TONI.

- WE TRIED IT FOR TONI. - LET'S DO THIS FOR MOMMY.

SO, WHAT WE GONNA DO THEN?

SO, HOW MANY DAYS YOU GONNA REHEARSE?

- WE CAN START TOMORROW. - YEAH, WE CAN START TOMORROW.

ALL RIGHT.

I FEEL I WANT Y'ALL TO SIGN SOMETHING.

I DON'T KNOW-- JUST TEXT ME.

SAY, "I, TOWANDA BRAXTON-- I, TRINA, TRACI BRAXTON."

YOU TEXT ME, TOO.

AND LOOK, AND HOW ABOUT THIS?

"I, TAMAR BRAXTON."

I WANT TAMAR TO SEND EVERYBODY A TEXT MESSAGE

THAT SAYS, "I, TAMAR BRAXTON, WILL WORK TOGETHER

"WITH MY SISTERS."

- WELL, WHY WOULDN'T I-- - "AND NOT TRY TO BE THE BOSS

"OF EVERYBODY."

DO YOU GUYS THINK TONI WILL DO IT?

WELL, I KNOW SHE'S NOT GONNA BE ABLE TO BE TO REHEARSAL

THIS WEEK BECAUSE SHE HAS A SHOW.

TONI IS GETTING READY BECAUSE SHE HAS

A PERFORMANCE COMING UP.

SO, SHE'S NOT ABLE TO REHEARSE WITH US RIGHT NOW,

BUT HOPEFULLY, SHE'LL BE ABLE TO PRACTICE WITH US

BEFORE MOMMY GETS MARRIED.

- YOU TALKIN' ABOUT ME? - AM I DON'T WHAT?

WHAT ACCENT IS THAT-- "YOU TALKIN' ABOUT ME."

LOOK-- "YOU TALK-YOU TALKIN' ABOUT ME?"

NO, TOWANDA, LOOK.

DO YOU KNOW--

- I WOULDN'T DO THAT FACE. - I WOULDN'T DO THAT FACE.

- SO. - "SO."

WE'RE GONNA GO TO REHEARSAL.

"WE'RE GONNA GO TO REHEARSAL."

I'M JUST-- I'M INTERPRETATING TRINA.

- INTERPRETATING. - INTERPRETATING.

- SO. - "SO."

WE'RE GOING TO REHEARSE THIS WEEK.

"WE'RE GOING TO REHEARSE THIS WEEK."

AND I'M REALLY EXCITED ABOUT PERFORMING

FOR MOMMY FOR HER WEDDING.

"AND I'M REALLY EXCITED ABOUT PERFORMING

"FOR MOMMY FOR HER WEDDING."

"AND, UH, WE-- AND WHERE WE BE GONNA BE HAVIN'--"

GET YOUR LIFE-- GET YOUR LIFE!

SHE DOES NOT TALK LIKE THAT-- SHE DOES NOT TALK LIKE THAT!

I DO NOT TALK LIKE THAT. - "I DON'T BE GOT NO.

"I DON'T BE GOT NO RENTAL CAR."

GET YOUR LIFE-- SHE DON'T DO THAT!

AND NEITHER DOES SHE.

SO, WE ARE ALL AGREEIN' THAT WE'RE GONNA GO TO REHEARSAL.

OKAY...

AND I'M GONNA PROPOSE SOMETHING RIGHT NOW.

IS EVERYBODY READY-- IS EVERYBODY EARS OPEN?

NO EGOS-- NO FIGHTING!

NO EGOS-- NO FIGHTING!

NO EGOS-- NO FIGHTING!

NO EGOS-- NO FIGHTING!

- NO EGOS! - NO FIGHTING!

YAY!

- OH, THANK YOU. - ABSOLUTELY.

I WANTED TO HAVE A MEETING WITH DOC

BECAUSE I WAS TOTALLY STRESSED, OR I AM TOTALLY STRESSED,

AND I WANTED TO TALK TO HIM ABOUT THE WEDDING.

- HOW ARE YOU DOING? - GOOD.

YOU KNOW, MAYBE A LITTLE STRESSED.

A LITTLE STRESSED?

ON A SCALE OF ONE TO TEN, TEN BEING THE WORST,

TELL ME ABOUT THIS LITTLE STRESSED.

A LITTLE... MAYBE NINE AND A HALF.

NINE AND A HALF?

EVERYTHING IS RIGHT AROUND THE CORNER.

IT'S SHORTER THAN WHAT YOU THINK.

TWENTY-NINE DAYS, THAT'S NOT A LONG TIME.

I'M LOOKIN' FORWARD TO IT... I'M HAPPY.

I'M VERY HAPPY.

I JUST NEED YOU TO DO YOUR PART.

YOU-YOU KNOW, YOU TELL ME WHAT TIME TO BE THERE.

OH, PLEASE, SEE.

IT'S NOT JUST BEING THERE, DEAR.

IT'S A LITTLE MORE THAN THAT.

I'M JUST TEASIN'-- I'M JUST TEASIN'.

NO, I DON'T FEEL LIKE TEASIN' RIGHT NOW.

I'M SERIOUS. - OKAY.

YOU REALLY DO SOUND STRESSED.

YEAH, COULD YOU TEASE ME TOMORROW?

TOMORROW?

- NOT RIGHT NOW. - OKAY.

JUST LET ME KNOW IF THERE'S ANYTHING THAT YOU NEED.

IT'S GONNA BE OKAY. - WHAT ABOUT THE TUX?

WELL, I FOUND A VERY, VERY NICE WHITE, UH, TUXEDO.

- OH, DID YOU? - BEAUTIFUL-BEAUTIFUL.

WELL, FIRST YOU HAVE TO GET THE COLORS STRAIGHT.

TRUST ME. - DO YOU HAVE A PREFERENCE?

- OFF-WHITE. - OH, THE LAST TIME WE SPOKE--

NO, WE DID NOT-- IT WAS OFF-WHITE.

- OFF-WHITE IT IS. - IT'S LIKE AN EGGSHELL.

WHAT ABOUT THE GROOMSMEN?

I NEED TO REALLY SPEAK TO THE GUYS.

HAVE YOU GOTTEN YOUR BEST MAN YET?

MMM, WE'RE HAVIN' THE CONVERSATION THIS WEEKEND...

SUNDAY.

NOW, LET ME SAY IT.

IF YOU DO NOT HAVE ALL OF THESE THINGS IN PLACE BY,

I'LL SAY, BY MONDAY, MAYBE WE SHOULD ELOPE.

MMM-HMM.

E-WHAT?

COMING UP ON "BRAXTON FAMILY VALUES"...

NO-NO, HOLD ON-- HOLD ON!

I WAS FITTIN' TO MAKE IT CUTE AND Y'ALL GOT TO THE JOKE.

HOLD

HOLD UP--

HOLD UP-- I

HOLD UP-- I SAID,

HOLD UP-- I SAID, "TRINA,

HOLD UP-- I SAID, "TRINA, DO

HOLD UP-- I SAID, "TRINA, DO YOU

HOLD UP-- I SAID, "TRINA, DO YOU EVER

HOLD UP-- I SAID, "TRINA, DO YOU EVER CRAVE

HOLD UP-- I SAID, "TRINA, DO YOU EVER CRAVE CHICKEN?"

NO. - WHO CRAVES CHICKEN?

WHAT THE--

YOU DON'T EVER SAY, "I HAVE A TASTE FOR SOME WINGS"?

YOU DON'T HAVE THAT CRAVING?

YOU CAN CRAVE SOME MACARONI AND CHEESE SOMETIMES?

GIRL, GET YOUR LIFE!

I CAN'T DO THIS!

SOMETIMES, I CRAVE POTATO CHIPS.

WITH HOT SAUCE.

I CAN'T!

AND WON'T NOBODY MAKE ME!

WHATEVER-- NOBODY PUTS HOT SAUCE ON POTATO CHIPS!

ARE YOU SERIOUS, TRINA!

AND SHE'S ACTIN' LIKE SHE AIN'T NEVER HEARD OF IT!

HOT-- NO!

WHO PUTS HOT SAUCE ON PO-TA-TO CHIPS?

- RED HOT IS THE BEST. - Y'ALL DON'T DO THAT.

- YES, WE DO, TOO. - YES, WE DO.

WELL, I HAVEN'T SEEN IT.

- WHERE ARE YOU FROM? - Y'ALL NEED TO STOP.

- LIKE, FOR REAL. - I CAN'T!

IF

IF YOU

IF YOU DO

IF YOU DO NOT

IF YOU DO NOT HAVE

IF YOU DO NOT HAVE ALL

IF YOU DO NOT HAVE ALL OF

IF YOU DO NOT HAVE ALL OF THESE

IF YOU DO NOT HAVE ALL OF THESE THINGS

IF YOU DO NOT HAVE ALL OF THESE THINGS IN

IF YOU DO NOT HAVE ALL OF THESE THINGS IN PLACE

IF YOU DO NOT HAVE ALL OF THESE THINGS IN PLACE BY--

I'LL SAY BY MONDAY-- - MMM-HMM.

MAYBE WE SHOULD ELOPE.

E-WHAT?

I WAS THINKING ABOUT MAYBE VEGAS, MAYBE HAWAII.

I THINK THAT WOULD CUT OUT A LOT OF,

UH, STRESS, A LOT OF ANXIETY.

WE JUST DO IT, AND COME BACK.

AND THERE IT IS!

- NO ELOPEMENT. - I'M SORRY?

- NO ELOPEMENT. - OKAY.

I-I THINK SO MANY PEOPLE ARE LOOKING--

SO-SO LOOKING FORWARD TO THIS DAY HAPPENING.

I DON'T-I DON'T THINK THAT WE CAN DO

ANYTHING DIFFERENTLY.

WHEN I SUGGESTED TO DOC THAT WE SHOULD ELOPE,

HE WASN'T HAVING IT.

I'M-I'M TOO BUSY-- I HAVE TOO MUCH ON MY MIND.

I'M DOING TOO MUCH.

BUT, THE GIRLS ARE DOING MOST OF THE PLANNING

AND EVERYTHING, RIGHT?

BECAUSE THE GIRLS HAVEN'T SHOWN ANY SIGNS

OF BEING STRESSED WITH THE PLANNING

OF THIS WEDDING, CORRECT?

NO, YOU'RE NOT CORRECT-- YES, THEY HAVE.

HOW?

I MEAN, THEY-THEY TRY TO COVER IT UP,

BUT JUST WATCHING THEM, AND I-AND I KNOW THEM,

THAT STRESSES ME OUT. - MMM-HMM.

CAN YOU UNDERSTAND THAT?

AND I JUST-- I DON'T KNOW.

I JUST WANT THE GIRLS, YOU KNOW, NOT IN STRESS.

I THINK THAT IT'S GONNA BE OKAY.

YOU KNOW, I HATE WHEN YOU SOUND SO PRACTICAL.

I HATE IT!

I THINK YOU WILL GET USED TO IT.

I DON'T KNOW IF I'LL EVER GET USED TO IT.

TOWANDA, I LIKE THEM PANTS.

THANKS.

THEY LOOK HOT AND DELICIOUS, HONEY.

THANKS, TRACI.

OKAY, COME ON, GIRLS.

SOMEBODY REALLY REHEARSING--

WE ARE PRACTICING AND REHEARSING A SONG FOR MOMMY

FOR HER WEDDING, AND I-I'M, LIKE,

REALLY CROSSING MY FINGERS.

I'M REALLY HOPING THAT THIS REHEARSAL'S

GONNA GO WELL FOR US.

TONI COULDN'T MAKE REHEARSAL, BUT SHE'S COMING

FOR THE NEXT REHEARSAL BECAUSE SHE SAYS SHE WANTS

TO SING WITH US FOR MOMMY FOR HER SURPRISE.

- OH. - I'M SURE SHE DO.

I THINK THAT'D BE A GOOD IDEA.

I KNOW IT IS.

THE IDEA WAS FOR US TO SING THE LORD'S PRAYER

DURING HER CEREMONY. - HOW LORD'S PRAYER GO?

- "OUR FATHER--" - OKAY.

"OUR FATHER, WHO ART IN HEAVEN HALLOWED BE THY NAME."

- HA! - GET YOUR LIFE.

- "THY KINGDOM COME." - "THY WILL BE DONE."

YOU JUST ASKED HOW IT WENT-- I'M TRYING TO TELL YOU.

YOU KNOW THE LORD'S PRAYER, TAMAR.

CAN WE SPEED IT UP OR SOMETHIN'?

YES, DEFINITELY.

YEAH, WE CAN SPEED IT UP A LITTLE BIT.

ABSOLUTELY. - SO IT WON'T BE DRAGGING.

YEAH, THAT'S WHAT REHEARSAL'S FOR.

WHO GOT AN IDEA-- PUT YOUR HAND IN THE AIR.

GO AHEAD AND PUT YOUR HAND IN THE AIR AND JUST DO IT.

DON'T CHALLENGE ME, 'CAUSE I CAN MAKE ANYTHING HOT, OKAY?

WELL, GO AHEAD-- LET ME SEE.

OUR FATHER WHICH ART IN HEAVEN HALLOWED--

YOU CAN'T EVEN DO IT WITH A STRAIGHT FACE.

RIGHT.

I MEAN, I FEEL LIKE I CAN MAKE ANYTHING HOT,

BUT THE LORD'S PRAYER?

THAT'S GONNA TAKE A MIRACLE.

THAT'S SONG IS REAL OLD.

TRINA, CALL IT OFF. - ONE, TWO, THREE, FOUR.

NO-NO, NOT LIKE YOU DO IT IN THE BAND.

- GO. - I-I BEG YOUR PARDON?

PUT-PUT SOME STANK-- PUT STANK JUICE ON.

- PUT YOUR STANK ON. - STANK-STANK-STANKERS-STANK-

STANK-STANK-STANK. - OKAY-- ONE-TWO...

- NO-NO. - YOU KNOW WHAT TO DO.

ONE-TWO-- YOU KNOW WHAT TO DO.

EXACTLY.

OUR FATHER

WHICH ART IN HEAVEN--

OH, NO-- WHAT YOU DOIN'?

HALLOW WILL BE

THE NA-NA-NA-NA--

HOLD ON-HOLD ON-HOLD ON!

NA-NA-NA-NA-NAME--

HEY-- HOLD ON-HOLD ON!

I WAS GONNA MAKE IT CUTE, AND Y'ALL GOTTA DO THE JOKES.

GO AHEAD.

OUR FATHER WHICH ART IN HEAVEN

HALLOW WOULD BE--

SO, WE'LL BE DOING THE LOCOMOTIVE?

I CAN'T.

TAMAR, YOU LOOK THE TEMPTATIONS

WITH THE MIGHTY CLOUDS OF JOY.

YEAH, THAT IS.

OKAY, GIVE-- LET ME SEE YOURS.

NOT THAT.

AND FIVE AND SIX AND YOU KNOW WHAT TO DO.

DO IT.

I MEAN, EVERYBODY IS JUST FULL OF JOKES.

I MEAN, IT'S BETTER THAN ARGUING,

BUT THIS AIN'T THE TIME TO BE CLOWNING AROUND.

I'M BASICALLY DOING MY BEST TO KEEP EVERYTHING TOGETHER.

I AIN'T STANDING UP THERE LOOKING LIKE I AIN'T--

YOU KNOW, IT'S GONNA BE BORING.

ONCE AGAIN, TAMAR HAS STARTED HER LITTLE SHENANIGANS

OF WANTING TO TAKE OVER AND BEING BOSSY.

WE-WE CAN'T MAKE IT SLOW-- WE GOTTA, YOU KNOW.

OKAY, WE HAVEN'T EVEN STARTED REHEARSING YET,

AND SHE'S ALREADY STARTED-- STOP!

GET YOUR LIFE-- GET YOUR LIFE!

COMING UP, ON "BRAXTON FAMILY VALUES"...

TAMAR, IT'S NOT ABOUT WHAT WE WANT.

IT'S ABOUT WHAT MOMMY WANTS TO HEAR.

WHAT DO YOU WANT ME TO DO?

- YOU'RE IMPATIENT TODAY. - I NEED SOMETHIN' TO DRINK.

I

I AIN'T

I AIN'T STANDING

I AIN'T STANDING UP

I AIN'T STANDING UP THERE

I AIN'T STANDING UP THERE LOOKING

I AIN'T STANDING UP THERE LOOKING LIKE

I AIN'T STANDING UP THERE LOOKING LIKE I

I AIN'T STANDING UP THERE LOOKING LIKE I AIN'T--

YOU KNOW, IT'S GONNA BE BORING.

TAMAR, YOU KNOW WHAT?

IT'S NOT ABOUT WHAT WE WANT.

IT'S ABOUT WHAT MOMMY WANTS TO HEAR.

WE'RE MAKING MOMMY HAPPY.

AND SHE LIKES HEARING US SING THE LORD'S PRAYER.

OKAY, FINE.

I'M-I'M GONNA DO WHATEVER Y'ALL WANT ME TO DO.

WHAT DO YOU WANT ME TO DO?

- WELL-- - WELL--

SAME TIME!

AND MIRACLES DO HAPPEN.

EVERYBODY WAS IN A GREAT MOOD.

TAMAR WAS WILLING TO WORK WITH EVERYBODY.

IT WAS JUST LIKE OLD TIMES.

IT ALMOST FELT LIKE WE WERE KIDS, AGAIN.

AND LEAD US NOT AND LEAD US NOT--

CAN SOMEBODY SING IT?

AND I-AND I CAN SHOW YOU WHERE TO GO.

OKAY.

AND LEAD US LEAD US NOT

AND LEAD US NOT INTO TEMPTATION

- OKAY. - DO THAT, AGAIN.

AND LEAD US AND LEAD US NOT INTO TEMPTATION

BUT DELIVER US DELIVER US FROM ALL EVIL

OKAY-OKAY-OKAY.

AND WE FORGIVE OUR DEBTORS

AND LEAD US NOT

AND LEAD US NOT INTO TEMPTATION

BUT DELIVER DELIVER US FROM ALL EVIL

FOR THINE IS THE KINGDOM

AND THE POWER AND THE GLORY

AND THE GLORY FOREVER AAA---

EVERYBODY SLOW DOWN.

AAA-MMEEENNN

- HO! - THAT WAS GOOD.

WHEN MY SISTERS AND I ARE ABLE TO PULL IT TOGETHER

AND SING, WE ARE AWESOME.

SEE... IT'S ABOUT WORKING TOGETHER.

- TOGETHER. - YEAH, GUYS!

- NO EGOS! - YES, THAT'S WHAT I'M SAYING.

NO ATTITUDE.

I'M NOT REALLY SURE IF MOMMY IS REALLY GONNA GO THROUGH

WITH THIS WEDDING, BUT WE'RE GONNA GO AHEAD AND REHEARSE

THE SONG ANYWAYS, AND HOPEFULLY WE CAN SING IT

AT SOMEBODY'S WEDDING.

IS SOMEBODY GETTING MARRIED?

SOMEBODY?

DO Y'ALL REALLY THINK MOMMY'S GONNA GO THROUGH WITH IT?

- I DON'T THINK SO. - WHY Y'ALL THINK THAT?

'CAUSE I CAN TELL Y'ALL WHY I THINK THAT.

'CAUSE MOMMY CAN'T MAKE NO DECISION ABOUT NOTHIN'.

- I WAS GONNA SAY THAT, TOO. - SHE AIN'T SURE ABOUT NOTHIN'.

I WAS GONNA SAY THAT, TOO.

SHE DON'T KNOW WHAT THE HELL SHE WANTS.

SHE DON'T KNOW WHAT KIND OF CAKE SHE WANTS.

SHE DOESN'T KNOW WHAT COLOR SHE WANTS.

SHE ASKING EVERYBODY, "WHAT COLOR DO I WANT?"

AND HE AIN'T GOT HIS LIST OUT.

- OH! - OOP!

- YOU KNOW WHAT MINE IS? - WHAT?

SHE AIN'T WEARING NO ENGAGEMENT RING.

- OH! - BOOM!

THE NEXT COUPLE OF DAYS ARE GONNA BE, LIKE, EXTREMELY BUSY.

WE HAVE APPOINTMENTS WITH THE FLORIST, WITH THE CATERER,

WITH THE VENUE, WITH THE CAKE TASTING,

AND YOU CAN'T DO ALL THIS STUFF THE LAST MINUTE,

AND THE LAST MONTH IS THE LAST MINUTE.

MOMMY, YOU GONNA HAVE A THROW AWAY BOUQUET?

WHAT TIME OF THE DAY IS THE WEDDING?

WHAT ARE WE GONNA DO FOR OUR LITTLE FLOWER GIRLS?

ARE YOU DOING THE SEATED SERVE DINNER?

YES.

I THINK THAT MOMMY IS A LITTLE BIT FRUSTRATED

WITH THE WHOLE WEDDING ITSELF.

IF YOU'RE A DECISIVE PERSON, IT SHOULD MOVE PRETTY FAST,

THIS PROCESS.

WELL, I GOT SOME SAMPLES HERE, SOME SWATCH RINGS,

COUPLE THINGS. - COCKTAILS BEFORE?

WHAT KIND OF A SIZE ARE WE LOOKING AT?

I DON'T THINK SHE WANTS TO DEAL WITH ALL THE PRESSURE

OF BUDGET, AND WHO'S DOING THIS, AND WHO'S DOING THAT.

DESIGNERS, CATERING COMPANIES, THE VENUES.

- FOOD OPTIONS, DECOR. - HOW MANY PEOPLE CAN I HAVE?

AND WHO'S GONNA SIT WHERE, AND--

ROUND TABLES FOR YOUR GUESTS OR SQUARE?

AND WHAT DO YOU THINK ABOUT THE CHAIR BACK ON IT?

WHAT'S THE FOOD GONNA BE, AND WHAT ABOUT MY CAKE?

THIS IS BUTTER CREAM AND THEN--

MINOR DETAILS AND MOMMY DON'T GET ALONG WELL.

WHAT TIME-- PHOTOGRAPHERS?

HAIR AND MAKE-UP?

DINNER, FIRST DANCE, CAKE CUTTING, THE TOAST?

WHAT DO YOU THINK ABOUT THAT?

- ARE YOU LOOKING FOR ROUND? - STYLIST...

COCKTAILS BEFOREHAND?

YOU NEED TO GET MOVING QUICKLY.

IT KINDA PUTS A QUESTION MARK ONTO,

"OH, OKAY, MOMMY, DO YOU REALLY WANNA GET MARRIED?"

WHEW-- FREEZING.

MOMMY IS OBVIOUSLY, LIKE, REALLY STRESSED OUT

ABOUT THE WEDDING PLANNING, SO I DECIDE THAT I SHOULD GO AHEAD

AND TAKE MOMMY OUT TO LUNCH SO THAT SHE CAN RELAX.

WHEW!

ISN'T THIS A CUTE, LITTLE PLACE?

IT'S COLD-- NOBODY WAITING ON US TODAY?

WE'VE ONLY BEEN SITTING HERE FOR 30 SECONDS.

YOU'RE IMPATIENT TODAY. - I NEED SOMETHIN' TO DRINK.

A DRINK, MOMMY?

I CAN REALLY TELL THAT SOMETHING'S GOING ON

WITH MOMMY BECAUSE SHE'S COMPLAINING,

AND THAT'S NOT HER.

WHY ARE YOU ON EDGE TODAY-- WHAT'S GOING ON?

I, UM... I'M NOT GETTING MARRIED.

WH-WH-WHAT DO YOU MEAN YOU'RE NOT GETTING MARRIED ANYMORE?

YOU DON'T KNOW WHAT THAT MEANS?

WELL, I MEAN, LIKE, WHY?

UH, 'CAUSE THAT'S NOT WHAT I WANNA DO.

I CHANGED MY MIND. - WHAT?

YOU KNOW, I THOUGHT AFTER MOMMY PICKED OUT

HER WEDDING DRESS THAT SHE WOULD ACTUALLY

GO THROUGH WITH THE WEDDING.

AND, YOU KNOW, WE DID ALL THIS PLANNING,

AND THEN WE SPENT ALL THIS TIME PRACTICING THE SONG,

AND THEN POOF, NO WEDDING.

IT'S A WOMAN PREROGATIVE TO CHANGE HER MIND.

I CHANGED MY MIND.

BUT, I THOUGHT THAT'S WHAT YOU WANTED TO DO.

YEAH, I THOUGHT, UH, THAT'S WHAT I WANTED TO DO, ALSO.

BUT, WHAT MADE YOU CHANGE YOUR MIND?

THERE HAD TO HAVE BEEN A REASON.

- NOT NECESSARILY, NO. - UGH!

WHAT?!

YOU CAN'T JUST DROP A BOMB LIKE THIS.

I MEAN, WHAT'S REALLY GOING ON?

AND YOU DON'T EVEN HAVE A REASON WHY YOU SAID,

"HEY, GUYS, I'M NOT GETTIN' MARRIED."

WHAT IS DOC GONNA DO-- HOW IS HE GONNA FEEL?

WHAT I'M GOING TO DO IS FLY OUT TO L.A.

AND LET EVERYBO- EVERYBODY KNOW.

THIS IS CRAZINESS.

THE WEDDING IS A FEW WEEKS AWAY.

PEOPLE HAVE BOOKED THEIR PLANE TICKETS.

THEY'VE BOOKED THEIR HOTEL.

I CAN'T EVEN IMAGINE HOW DOC'S GONNA REACT

WHEN MOMMY TELLS HIM, "HEY, THE WEDDING'S OFF."

BUT, I HAVE TO DO WHAT'S RIGHT FOR ME.
