GOIN' OUT-- HAVIN' A DATE.

I NEED TO START OVER, AGAIN, SOON AS YOU GUYS FIND ME SOMEBODY.

MOMMY, YOU'RE WAY TOO PICKY.

AIN'T NOBODY GOT TIME FOR THAT.

YOU KNOW HOW TAMAR HAD AN OPINION ABOUT EVERYBODY'S PREGNANCY.

BUT, NOW THAT IT'S HER, THE WORLD IS COMING TO AN END.

- BUT, THAT'S WHO SHE IS. - CAN'T TALK.

SAY NOTHIN' ABOUT THE BABY-- OH, LORD!

I HAVE TO GO TO CANADA AND DO THIS MOVIE.

I MET THE LEAD GUY. - DO YOU HAVE TO KISS HIM?

- MM-HMM. - ON THE MOUTH?

OKAY, GUYS-- WE'RE INSIDE THE CHURCH.

I FALL-- GOTTA DO A STUNT.

AH!

THEY SAID IT WAS WRONG.

DON'T DO THAT AGAIN.

I JUST DON'T BELIEVE IN MIXIN' FAMILY AND BUSINESS, PERIOD.

YOU'RE SERIOUS?

GABE FEELS A LOT OF OWNERSHIP IN THE CLOTHING STORE.

GABE WANTS TO BE INVOLVED IN WHAT I'M DOING.

- NO! - NO!

BUT, YA'LL BEGUN DOIN' STUFF ON YOUR OWN.

NOBODY NEVER CAME TO NOBODY!

I WILL NOT PARTNER IN ANY VENTURE WITH GABE,

ESPECIALLY THE STORE.

I DON'T WANT GABE IN MY LIFE.

YOU AND GABE TOOK IT UPON YOURSELF AND DID EVERYTHING ELSE.

AND WE DON'T NEED NO FINANCING.

- MOMMY. - HEY, LITTLE GIRL.

YOU KNOW, I KEEP GETTIN' THESE EMAILS

FROM, LIKE, THESE RANDOM DATIN' SITES.

UH, THEY MUST THINK I'M YOU.

OH, WHAT-- I DON'T UNDERSTAND THAT.

I THINK IT'S ABOUT TIME FOR YOU TO START DATIN', CHILD.

- OH, IS THAT WHAT THAT'S SAYIN'? - YEAH.

MY MAMA'S BEEN STAYIN' WITH ME FOR A LITTLE WHILE NOW,

AND IT REALLY DOES MAKE ME FEEL SO MUCH BETTER

THAT SHE'S NOT ALONE.

I KNOW SHE'S GONNA EVENTUALLY MOVE OUT,

SO I'VE REALLY GOTTA FIND HER A MAN,

SO SHE DON'T, YOU KNOW, BE ALONE ALL THE TIME.

AND, YOU KNOW, I'M NOT TRYIN' TO BE FRISKY OR NOTHIN',

BUT MOMS NEED TO GET THEY BACK CRACKED, TOO.

IT'S VERY IMPORTANT.

- YOU KNOW WHAT? - WHAT?

I HAVE NOT GOOD EXPERIENCES WITH THAT.

MAMA, YOU'VE BEEN TALKIN' TO THE WRONG HOOK-UP PEOPLE.

YOU'VE BEEN TALKIN' TO TOWANDA, WHO GET THEM LITTLE BOYS.

AIN'T NOBODY GOT TIME FOR THAT.

I WAS MAD AT THAT. - I'M STILL MAD!

- YOU SHOULD BE. - I KNOW.

- HOW YA DOIN'? - FINE, HOW ARE YOU?

- I'M RALPH. - HI.

GOOD TO MEET YOU.

BEFORE I GO ANY FURTHER, HOW OLD ARE YOU?

- TWENTY-SEVEN. - ALRIGHTY, THEN.

MOMMY, DON'T TAKE NO DATIN' RELATIONSHIP ADVICE

FROM TONI, TOWANDA, TRINA, OR TRACI, OKAY?

SHH.

WELL, TRACI MAYBE, A LITTLE BIT, BUT NOT TOO MUCH.

- OH-OH, YOU GOT IT GOIN' ON. - DON'T GO OVERBOARD.

I'M JUST THE ONLY ONE WHO ACTUALLY REALLY LIKE MY HUSBAND.

THAT'S HOW YOU'RE SUPPOSED TO.

I THINK I'M READY TO START MEETING PEOPLE.

I DON'T KNOW IF I NEED TO HAVE A NEW RELATIONSHIP.

MAYBE I DO, SINCE I'M MOVING OUT INTO A NEW PLACE.

SO, WE'LL SEE.

YOU ALREADY-YOU ALREADY HAVE HIM IN MIND?

NO, I WAS GONNA GO TO meetblackpeople.com.

OH, TAMAR, HUH-UH.

I'M SORRY-- UH-UH.

- NO, I'M JOKING. - IT'S GOTTA BE SOMEBODY.

NO-NO, MOMMY.

I WAS GONNA GO TO A PRESTIGIOUS AGENCY,

SOMEBODY WHO-- - TAMAR, YOU CAN'T--

NO, SOMEBODY WHO HAS PAID MONEY TO SIGN UP.

MEANING THEY'RE LOOKING FOR SOMEBODY SERIOUS.

WELL, YOU KNOW WHAT?

HALF OF 'EM ARE CRAZY, HALF CRACKED.

THEY ACT LIKE THEY CARE FOR YA, THEN THEY KILL-KILL YA

AND BURY YA IN THE BACKYARD. - MOMMY.

MOMMY, STOP WATCHING "20/20" ON THE WEEKENDS, BOO.

UH-UH, UH-UH.

OH, MY GOD-- I-I DON'T UNDERSTAND MY MAMA.

LIKE, SHE'S SO PARANOID ABOUT ONLINE DATIN', RIGHT NOW.

THEY MIGHT BE RATCHET, OR UGLY, OR BROKE,

AND I AGREE THAT IS A CRIME, TOO.

BUT, THAT DON'T MAKE THEM MURDERERS.

I MEAN, I NEED TO CALL THE AGENCY MYSELF

AND GET HER HOOKED UP TODAY, SO SHE CAN RELAX

ABOUT THIS WHOLE DAMN THING.

AND NO MORE COOKIN' TODAY, 'CAUSE I DON'T FEEL LIKE IT.

I'M GONNA EMAIL THE AGENCY, OKAY?

TO HAVE YOUR MAN ON STANDBY-- I GOT YOU.

DO YOU WANT A GLASS OF WINE?

- SURE, WHY NOT? - YEAH.

HERE YOU GO. - THANK YOU.

YOU'RE WELCOME.

SO, THE GIRLS AND I WERE TALKING, AND WE JUST DON'T

KNOW WHETHER OR NOT WE'RE GONNA HAVE THE STORE IN L.A.

OR IF THE STORE'S GONNA BE IN GEORGIA,

AND THAT'S JUST UP IN THE AIR, A TUSSLE.

ARE YOU OKAY WITH ME OPENING UP THE STORE

WITH JUST MY SISTERS AND I?

THE LAST TIME MY SISTERS AND I DISCUSSED THE STORE,

THEY TOLD ME, "HELL NO, THEY DON'T WANT GABE INVOLVED AT ALL!"

AND I DECIDED IT'S BEST IF IT'S JUST US SISTERS.

I REALLY DON'T WANNA RUFFLE ANYBODY'S FEATHERS,

ESPECIALLY THE GIRLS.

BUT, WE HAD THIS CONVERSATION.

YEAH, I KNOW-- I KNOW-- IT'S JUST KIND OF--

I THOUGHT MORE-- I DON'T KNOW.

- WHAT'D YOU THINK? - I-I-I FEEL LIKE

IT'S MORE PEER PRESSURE, THE FACT THAT YOU'RE DOING

THE STORE WITH YOUR SISTERS, THAN ANYTHING

BECAUSE THEY KIND OF PRESSURED YOU INTO COMING ALONG.

I SPEARHEADED THE WHOLE THING.

I PUT IN SOME TIME OF MY LIFE, YOU KNOW, AND STARTED

TO GET THE ENGINE MOVING, AS FAR AS WITH THE STORE.

AND I WENT TO THE BANKS, SAT DOWN WITH THE-WITH THE BANK MANAGER,

DISCUSSED ABOUT A LOAN-- IT WAS KINDA LIKE MY BABY, TOO,

AND IT'S KINDA LIKE I GET CUT OFF

FROM THIS, KINDA LIKE OKAY.

I'M NOT GONNA SAY THAT IT'S TOTALLY FAIR TO GABE,

RIGHT NOW, THAT HE'S NOT GONNA BE A PARTNER IN THE STORE,

BUT THAT'S WHAT MARRIED PEOPLE DO.

SO, HIM DOING THE LEGWORK AND DOING PART OF THE LEGWORK

ONLY HELPED US TO BECOME MORE KNOWLEDGEABLE

IN WHAT WE'RE TRYING TO DO.

SO, KUDOS TO YOU, GABE, FOR THAT.

YEAH!

I DEFINITELY WASN'T TRYING TO HURT YOUR FEELINGS AT ALL.

BUT, YOU KNOW, WHEN IT'S JUST THE SISTERS,

WHEN WE HAVE OUR CONFLICT, WE HAVE OUR CONFLICT.

- THE HUSBANDS ARE INVOLVED,. - ANN

YOU KNOW, THEN THAT'S WHEN THINGS TEND TO LINGER.

I DON'T WANNA SAY DON'T COME COMPLAININ' TO ME.

BUT, I'M JUST TELLIN' YOU, RIGHT NOW,

THAT IT'S GONNA BE HARDER WITH YOU AND YOUR SISTERS TOGETHER.

I HOPE YA'LL PROVE ME WRONG-- IT'S GONNA BE HARDER.

I WAS PRETTY HURT ABOUT NOT BEING A PARTNER IN THE STORE,

THAT TRINA DECIDED TO DO THE STORE WITH HER SISTERS.

I FEEL LIKE TRINA DID PICK HER SISTERS OVER ME, AGAIN.

NONE OF YOU ALL ARE REALLY, LIKE, THE ORGANIZED TYPE.

THOSE ARE-- THAT'S HARD BECAUSE THAT'S WHENEVER YOU START,

UM, WHENEVER YOUR RELATIONSHIP STARTS FAILING, YOU KNOW?

THAT'S WHY I SAY DON'T MIX, YOU KNOW, FAMILY AND BUSINESS.

UH, WE'VE DONE IT FOR A LONG TIME.

- IT'LL BE VERY FUN TO WATCH. - IS THAT YOUR HUMOR?

IT WILL BE.

TONIGHT, WE'RE HAVING A PRIVATE SCREENING - HI, CRAIGY.

FOR THE MADE FOR TV MOVIE THAT I STARRED IN CALLED

"TWIST OF FAITH," AND IT'S MY FIRST STARRING ROLE,

AND I'M REALLY NERVOUS, AND I'M HOPEFUL THAT PEOPLE

WILL BE EXTRA NICE TO ME!

AND, MISS BRAXTON, RIGHT HERE, PLEASE.

BECAUSE THE TV MOVIE IS VERY FAITH BASED,

WE'RE HAVING THE PREMIERE AT A SYNAGOGUE.

- GET ALL YOUR SISTERS. - OH, MY FAMILY,

COME-COME-COME!

I AM A BIG TV MOVIE FAN, AND JUST TO COME OUT TO SEE

THE SCREENING OF TONI'S MOVIE, "TWIST OF FAITH,"

I-I'M SO PROUD OF HER. - LET'S DO OUR POSE.

POSE, DENIM.

I'M SO EXCITED TO BRING DENIM AND DIEZEL TO THE MOVIE PREMIERE.

AND DIEZEL'S IN THE MOVIE-- HE HAS A SMALL, LITTLE ROLE.

HE'S MORE EXCITED ABOUT IT THAN I COULD EVER BE.

LOOK AT DIEZEL, GAH-- LOOK AT DIEZEL.

HEY, TONI-- COME ON OVER HERE.

WHY DID YOU DECIDE, YOU KNOW, TO DO THIS FILM?

IT WAS VERY ME, IF I WASN'T A SINGER.

UH, SHE WAS-SHE WAS A TEACHER.

I WENT TO COLLEGE TO BE A TEACHER.

SHE'S ELUDING THAT SHE'S A P.K., A PREACHER'S KID.

SHE LIVED NEXT DOOR TO THE CHURCH.

IT WAS VERY ALTER EGO TONI.

HOW WAS IT WORKING WITH MOM, NOW, YOU KNOW,

AS AN ACTRESS AND YOU BEING AN ACTOR?

IT'S ALL RIGHT.

IT'S, LIKE, KINDA LIKE THE FAMILY BUSINESS,

EXCEPT HE'S GONNA BE A BASKETBALL PLAYER.

AND YOU'RE GONNA BE AN ACTOR, AND MOM'S A SINGER,

SO WE'RE ALL IN ENTERTAINMENT.

YEAH, DEFINITELY.

SO, IS THIS THE BEGINNING OF TONI BRAXTON THE ACTRESS?

I HOPE SO.

NOT LIKE WE WANT YOU TO STOP SINGIN'.

I HOPE SO.

I MEAN, I LOVE SINGING, BUT I DON'T KNOW IF I'M GONNA BE

SINGING LIKE THAT ANYMORE.

YOU KNOW, IT'S REALLY WEIRD BECAUSE I DIDN'T-- I DIDN'T INTEND

ON TELLING THE PRESS MY INNER THOUGHTS

THAT I WAS PLANNING TO DO NO MORE ALBUMS.

I JUST KINDA BLURTED IT OUT BECAUSE IT'S SOMETHING

I WAS FEELING WITHIN MYSELF.

I WASN'T READY TO TALK ABOUT IT.

I DON'T KNOW WHY I SAID IT, BUT I'M STILL TORN.

I HAVE NO PLANS.

I'M ON THE NO PLAN PLAN, RIGHT NOW.

THANK YOU, BOYS.

I THINK MY CHILDREN ARE DONE.

OKAY, BOYS-- THANK YOU. - YOU GUYS DID AWESOME!

YOU DIDN'T GIVE ME NO KISSES.

MY CO-STAR, MY SNOWFLAKE, IS VERY CUTE, VERY SEXY.

AIN'T HE CUTE?

HE MAKE ME WANNA KISS HIM IN THE MOUTH.

IN THE WHOLE MOUTH-- THAT'S USUALLY NOT TRACI.

TRACI LIKES THE CHOCOLATE-- THAT'S A TRINA MOVE.

BUT, I MUST SAY THAT HE IS YUMMY.

I GET IT-- HE'S CUTE.

- HOW YA DOING? - I'M GOOD.

HE LOOK LIKE HE WANNA KISS TONI.

RIGHT.

THAT MAN IS HANDSOME.

TONI'S TAKING A PICTURE WITH HIM AND EVERYTHING.

I WISH I WAS TONI'S DOUBLE STUNT,

ESPECIALLY DURING THE KISSING SCENE.

HE'S A CUTIE-- I DARE YOU TO GO KISS HIM.

NO!

GOOD EVENING, EVERYONE.

THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR COMING.

YOU KNOW, I'M SUPER-SUPER EXCITED TO SEE TONI'S MOVIE.

I KNOW SHE WORKED REALLY HARD ON IT,

AND I KNOW IT'S GONNA BE AMAZING.

I HAVE THE WONDERFUL PLEASURE OF THANKING SOME PEOPLE THIS EVENING

AND TALKING A LITTLE BIT ABOUT THIS FILM.

I DON'T LIKE THIS PART.

I'D RATHER NOT BE IN THE ROOM AND THEN COME IN LATER

TO HEAR WHAT YOU THINK ABOUT IT.

IT'S NOT AN EASY FILM TO MAKE FOR ANYONE,

AS YOU'LL SEE.

AND THEN, THEY BROUGHT IN THE LOVELY AND TALENTED

TONI BRAXTON, AND I COULDN'T SAY NO.

TONI'S A LITTLE NERVOUS, RIGHT NOW,

BECAUSE SHE'S CROSSING OVER FROM BEING

THE WONDERFUL SUPERSTAR TONI BRAXTON SINGER

TO THE WONDERFUL ACTRESS TONI BRAXTON

IN THE LEADING ROLE.

SO, I BRING YOU "TWIST OF FAITH."

TONI, ANY PARTICULAR SCENE THAT CAUSED YOU ANY, UH, ANXIETY?

ACTUALLY, THE KISSING SCENE-- HE'S A CUTIE, THOUGH.

HE'S A DEFINITE CUTE. - WELL, I NEEDED MORE TAKES.

I THINK.

GOOD ANSWER.

HAVE YOU THOUGHT ABOUT MY PLANNING MY TAMAR SHOWER?

I'M GONNA DO EXACTLY WHAT YOU DID TO ME WHEN I WAS PREGNANT!

SHHH-ADE!

WE WOULD LIKE TO INVITE TONI BRAXTON AND DAVID JULIAN HIRSCH.

WE'RE ABOUT TO DO A "Q" AND "A."

THEY GET TO ASK QUESTIONS-- I GET TO ANSWER.

THE AUDIENCE IS PARTICIPATING.

I'M EXCITED ABOUT IT-- THIS IS MY FAVORITE PART

BECAUSE I'M A LITTLE BIT OF A TALKIE,

SO THIS IS PERFECT FOR ME.

TONI AND DAVID, WILL-- WOULD YOU SAY A LITTLE SOMETHING

ABOUT WHAT FIRST ATTRACTED YOU TO THE SCRIPT?

ORIGINALLY, WHEN I HEARD ABOUT THE SCRIPT,

I WAS INTERESTED IMMEDIATELY.

BE-BEING A P.K., A PREACHER'S KID,

I GREW UP IN CHURCH AND BEING A CHRISTIAN.

SO, FOR ME, IT WAS INDIGENOUS,

SOMETHING I WAS SUPPOSED TO DO, I FELT,

AND I LOVE THAT THE TWO RELIGIONS CAME TOGETHER,

AND YOU SAW IT WASN'T ABOUT THAT.

IT WAS ABOUT SPIRITUALITY, AND IT WAS ALSO COLORLESS.

HE'S CAUCASIAN-- I'M AFRICAN AMERICAN.

BUT, YOU DIDN'T SEE THAT.

YOU SAW LOVE BRINGING US TOGETHER.

AND SOMETIMES TRAGEDY AND WHATEVER YOU'RE GOING

THROUGH IN LIFE, YOU-- ALL THAT, YOU'LL FIND OUT

IT DOESN'T MATTER.

IT'S ABOUT PEOPLE ABOUT THE MOVIE., AND I T

TONI, WAS THERE ANY PARTICULAR SCENE

THAT CAUSED YOU ANY, UH, ANXIETY,

AS-AS YOU PREPARED FOR YOUR ROLE?

WELL, UM, ACTUALLY, THE KISSING SCENE.

YES.

IT'S VERY CHOREOGRAPHED-- I NEVER KNEW THAT.

YOU LEAN IN-- HE LEANS IN 20.

I FALL BACK-- HIS HAND TOUCHES.

THE FAVORITE PART IN THE MOVIE WAS TONI KISSIN' HER CO-STAR.

THEM LIPS DID NOT LIE.

I DON'T THINK TONGUE KISSING IS SOMETHING I'M COMFORTABLE

TALKING ABOUT IN A SYNAGOGUE.

I FEEL A LITTLE EXPOSED-- I FEEL A LITTLE NAKED.

IT'S LIKE-- I FEEL LIKE EVERYONE'S WATCHING ME.

LEAVE SOMETHIN' ON ME-- I MIGHT CATCH A COLD.

WHAT'S-- OKAY, I'M GOOD.

HOW MANY TIMES DID WE DO THAT SCENE?

HOW MANY TIMES?

UM, WELL, I NEEDED MORE TAKES, I THINK.

GOOD ANSWER.

THAT WAS PROBABLY THE HARDEST FOR ME, THAT SCENE.

SO, THAT WASN'T THE ONE THAT CAUSED YOU

THE GREATEST ANXIETY, DAVID? - ALL RIGHT, SO--

HE'S A CUTIE, THOUGH-- HE'S A DEFINITE CUTE.

IT WASN'T AESTHETICS AT ALL.

DID-DID ANY OF IT, UH, CREATE AN ANXIETY FOR YOU?

- UM, AHEM, THE SINGING. - THE SINGING?

- RIGHT. - REMEMBER, I WAS SWEATING.

I WAS SWEATING. - YES, HE WAS.

YOU WERE.

WELL, IT WAS JUST 'CAUSE I, YOU KNOW, I GET NERVOUS

SINGING "HAPPY BIRTHDAY," UM, AND I-I HAVE TO SING

WITH ONE OF THE GREATEST R&B SINGERS OF ALL-TIME.

BUT, YOU WERE A SWEETHEART, AND YOU HELPED ME THROUGH IT.

- THANK YOU. - THANK YOU.

WHEN THE MOVIE WAS OVER, I FELT HAPPY.

IT WAS WORTH EVERYTHING, ALL THOSE FEELINGS,

ALL THOSE JITTERS.

IT WAS GREAT BECAUSE I KNEW IT WAS WELL-RECEIVED.

OVERALL, I FELT GOOD ABOUT IT.

I WAS REALLY PROUD OF MYSELF.

HI, HOW ARE YOU?

I AM SO NERVOUS TODAY.

TAMAR SET ME UP THROUGH A MATCHMAKING AGENCY.

HOWEVER, I'LL GIVE IT A TRY BECAUSE I-I AM ANXIOUS

TO MEET NEW PEOPLE-- WE'LL SEE.

HI. - HEY, HOW YOU DOIN'?

I FIGURED IT HAD TO BE YOU-- YOU HAD ROSES.

- YES-- KENNETH HARRIS. - HI, EVELYN BRAXTON.

- THESE ARE YOU FOR YOU. - THANK YOU SO MUCH.

THANK YOU. - HAVE A SEAT.

SO, HOW WAS YOUR DAY? - REALLY WELL.

IT WENT REALLY WELL-- WHAT ABOUT YOURS?

- IT WAS GOOD. - OH, GOOD.

WOULD YOU LIKE THE SPARKLING OR DISTILLED WATER, MA'AM?

YOU KNOW WHAT?

I WOULD RATHER HAVE A DIET COKE.

A DIET COKE-- COMING RIGHT UP.

YOU JUST WATER?

DO YOU LIKE SODAS OR NO? - NO SODAS, JUICE.

WELL, THEN GOOD.

HOW ABOUT ALCOHOLIC BEVERAGES?

UH-UH.

THE MAN WAS BORING AS HECK.

I MEAN, BORING!

SO, WHAT DO YOU DO?

WELL, I, UM, OFFICIATE, UH, SEVERAL SPORTS.

OH, OKAY.

DID WORK WITH SOME BUDDIES OF MINE.

AND, UM, THEN I WAS RELEASED FROM THEM.

BUT, OUTSIDE OF THAT, UM...

MULTI-LEVEL MARKETING.

WHAT DOES IT MEAN HE WAS RELEASED FROM HIS JOB

IN A MULTI-LEVEL MARKETING?

WHAT'S THAT?

I DON'T THINK THE MAN HAD A JOB,

TO TELL YOU THE TRUTH OF THE MATTER.

- AND THAT WAS DIET COKE? - YEAH, I HAVE A DIET COKE.

- WATCHING YOUR FIGURE? - I DON'T HAVE TO.

I LET EVERYBODY ELSE WATCH IT.

I JUST WEAR IT. - AND HOW OLD ARE YOU?

OH, WHAT ARE YOU TRYIN' TO SAY?

NO-NO-NO, WHAT-WHAT ARE YOU TRYIN' TO SAY?

QUITE FRANKLY, I THINK HE'S VERY ILL-MANNERED

TO ASK ME MY AGE.

REALLY-- UH-HUH, YOU GOT TO GO.

WELL, I THANK YOU FOR THE FLOWERS.

I THINK THEY'RE SO WONDERFUL.

I'M ABOUT READY TO GO. - OH, OKAY.

- OKAY-- NICE MEETING YOU. - NICE MEETING YOU.

- THANK YOU SO MUCH. - YOU'RE WELCOME.

IF THIS IS WHAT TAMAR HAVE TO OFFER,

THEN SHE'S NOT DOING MUCH BETTER THAN TOWANDA.

HE WAS TALL-- I'LL GIVE HER THAT.

BUT, NOT TOO BRIGHT.

UH-UH.

I'M DONE.

THIS IS GONNA BE SO MUCH FUN.

I MEAN, ALL THIS STRETCHIN' AND STUFF,

ALL THESE STRETCHING POSITIONS,

THIS IS WHAT GOT ME IN THIS SITUATION TO BEGIN WITH.

ALL RIGHT, HALLELUJAH!

IT'S NOT HALLELUJAH.

- YES, IT IS. - YES, IT IS.

TODAY, WE ARE TAKING TAMAR TO A BEGINNER YOGA CLASS

THAT IS SUPPOSED TO BE GOOD FOR PREGNANT WOMEN.

HOPEFULLY, IT WILL BRING SOME ZEN INTO TAMAR'S LIFE,

SO SHE CAN CHILL OUT JUST A LITTLE BIT.

UM, YOU CAN SIT RIGHT ON THE MAT.

OOH, AIN'T NOBODY GOT TIME FOR THIS.

OKAY, STAY WITH IT-- ALL RIGHT.

SO, WE-- IS THIS EVERYBODY WE'RE DOING?

WELL, MY OTHER SISTER IS LATE.

SOMETHING THAT RUNS IN OUR FAMILY, EXCEPT FOR ON ME.

NO, I'M NOT LATE.

WE'RE GONNA START WITHOUT HER.

I AM NOT SURPRISED THAT TOWANDA IS LATE TO CLASS

BECAUSE TOWANDA TAKES THE PLACE OF TONI

WHEN TONI'S NOT THERE, LATE.

AIN'T NOBODY GOT TIME FOR THIS.

OKAY, HALF THAT.

DO WE REALLY HAVE IT HARMONIZE IT, THOUGH?

SHH, HALF THAT VOLUME.

I HATE YOGA.

YOU KNOW, I MEAN, I DON'T GET ANYTHING FROM IT.

I HATE STRETCHIN'-- I DON'T WANNA BE QUIET.

LETTING YOUR FACE RELAX.

OKAY, I'M GONNA LEAVE HER ALONE.

AM I DOING IT WRONG?

NO, EXCEPT THE FACT THAT YOU'RE WORRYING

ABOUT EVERYBODY ELSE.

AM I-AM I SUPPOSED TO--

OOH, SHE GOT YOU TOGETHER.

NO, 'CAUSE I DIDN'T ASK YOU IF SHE WAS DOING IT WRONG.

I ASKED YOU IF I WAS DOING IT WRONG.

THEN, THE ONLY THING YOU'RE DOING WRONG

IS THAT YOU'RE WORRYING ABOUT EVERYBODY ELSE.

WHAT IS THIS WOMAN'S PROBLEM?

I THOUGHT YOGA WAS SUPPOSED TO MAKE YOU MORE RELAXED.

HER ATTITUDE IS NOT INCREASING MY ZEN IN THE LEAST.

AND THIS IS SUPPOSED TO BE RELAXING, OKAY?

IT'S ACTUALLY TIRING.

WELL, I THINK YOU MAY HAVE BEEN TIRED BEFORE YOU GOT TO ME.

NO, SHE WAS ALL RIGHT.

NOW, I'M JUST A LITTLE TIRED.

WELL, OVER YOUR FEET, ONTO YOUR HANDS AND KNEES.

TAMAR, IS THIS THE POSITION YOU GOT IN TROUBLE WITH?

YES, IT IS.

THIS IS THE POSITION I DON'T WANNA DO NO MORE.

HAVING FLASHBACKS.

SO, YOU'RE GONNA INHALE.

BRING YOUR RIGHT KNEE FORWARD.

- HI. - HEY, LATENESS.

NICE OF YOU TO JOIN US, TOWANDA.

WELL, THANK YOU-- IT'S NOT MY FAULT.

YOU GOT THE TONI DEMON.

ALL RIGHT-- SO, COME IN ON THE HANDS AND KNEES.

TAKE IT BACK.

REACH THROUGH THE TOES, AS IF YOU'RE GONNA TOUCH

THE WALL BEHIND-- TAKE THE OPPOSITE ARM UP.

AND DRAW THAT HAND.

- IS THIS BEGINNER'S? - YEAH.

SO, INHALE-- SWEEP THE ARMS UP.

AND EXHALE IT DOWN.

I MEAN, REALLY?

IT'S NOT LIKE I'M TOO PREGNANT TO BE DOIN' ALL THIS.

I'M JUST TOO FAT TO BE DOIN' THIS.

LIKE, MY BOOBS ARE HUGE-- MY STOMACH IS BIG.

I GOT THIS BIG OL' STALLION DONKEY BUTT.

AND, YOU KNOW, I AIN'T GOT NO TIME FOR THIS, YA'LL.

I'M TIRED.

AND ROLL ONTO YOUR FRONT FOOT.

TAKE THE HANDS INSIDE AND JUST PRESS THE HIPS FORWARD.

HOW MANY PREGNANT PEOPLE DO IT?

THIS CLASS BE FULL AND STUFF?

I DON'T LIKE PREGNANT YOGA. - DO YOU DO PREGNANT YOGA?

YEAH, BUT, YOU KNOW, THE POSES AREN'T THAT DIFFERENT.

IT'S JUST ABOUT TAKING CARE AND HOW YOU DO THEM.

THE POSES DO NOT ACTUALLY CHANGE.

WELL, WHAT THE-- A PERSON WHO'S NEVER DONE YOGA BEFORE?

I'VE NOT DONE IT BEFORE.

IT JUST DOESN'T WORK WELL WITH ME.

I CAN'T MAKE YOU NOT BE MOODY.

SHHH-ADE!

THE SHHH-ADE!

HAVE YOU THOUGHT ABOUT PLANNING MY TAMAR SHOWER?

WELL, IN A VOICE OF YOGA, NOMMM.

DOES IT FEEL LIKE BALLS?

NO.

I DON'T KNOW WHAT TRINA HAD IN HER MOUTH, BUT IT--

THAT AIN'T IT.

I DON'T LIKE PREGNANT YOGA.

DO YOU DO PREGNANT YOGA?

I CAN'T MAKE YOU NOT BE MOODY.

SHHH-ADE!

THE SHHH-ADE!

PERSNIP-- - PERSNIPIFICATION!

OOH, THAT INSTRUCTOR TRIED IT, YOU KNOW,

HER LITTLE ATTITUDE AND STUFF.

I'M JUST TRYING TO FIGURE OUT WHERE SHE WAS COMIN' FROM

BECAUSE NOBODY WAS COMING FOR YOU, BOO, OKAY?

SHE LATE ANYWAY.

ALL RIGHT-- THANK YOU, LADIES.

- THANK YOU. - NAMASTE.

- TRACI! - NAMASTE.

I'M SORRY-- TRACI'S A NUT.

THAT'S ALL RIGHT.

UM, HAVE YOU THOUGHT ABOUT PLANNING MY TAMAR SHOWER?

NO.

I'M GONNA TELL YOU WHAT I'M GONNA DO FOR YOU.

I'M GONNA DO EXACTLY WHAT YOU DID TO ME WHEN I WAS PREGNANT!

PRAISE GOD!

OOH, THAT'S REALLY SELFISH AND WRONG.

I DIDN'T KNOW, AT THE TIME.

I WAS A YOUNG GIRL WHEN YOU WERE PREGNANT, TRINA.

YOU WAS YOUNG-- SO, HOW OLD WAS I?

BUT, TAMAR, IF SOMEONE SAYS TO YOU,

"TAMAR, DON'T WEAR THIS PERFUME

"BECAUSE IT MAKES ME NAUSEOUS,

"YOU'RE NOT SUPPOSED TO DANCE AROUND PEOPLE."

AND THEN, YOU WAS SHAKIN' YOUR HEAD LIKE YOU WAS,

UH, BILLY-BILLY-BAM-BA.

WHILE I WAS PREGNANT, TAMAR TREATED ME HORRIBLY,

DETESTABLY, TERRIBLE, AND BAD, AND IN THAT ORDER.

NOW, IF I WAS ONE OF THOSE VINDICTIVE KINDA CHICKS,

I WOULD'VE DONE THE SAME THING TO YOU, TAMAR.

BUT, BE GLAD I'M A LOVING SISTER.

TELL ME WHAT'S A TAMAR SHOWER, AGAIN.

A-A TAMAR SHOWER IS AN APPRECIATION FOR MYSELF

BECAUSE OF WHAT I'M GOING THROUGH DURING MY PREGNANCY.

YOU KNOW, "TAMAR, I GET IT." OR, "I FEEL YOU,

"I'M RIGHT THERE, AND LET'S HAVE SOME FUN

"SINCE YOU ARE, YOU KNOW, FUN-DEPRIVED."

WELL, IN A VOICE OF-OF YOGA, NOMMM.

YOU KNOW, I THINK MY SISTERS ARE AGAINST ME

HAVING A TAMAR SHOWER BECAUSE, NUMBER ONE,

THEY'RE NOT TAMAR.

AND NUMBER TWO, THEY DIDN'T THINK ABOUT IT.

I PLAN ON MILKING THIS SITUATION COMPLETELY DRY

BECAUSE I FEEL LIKE I'M GOING THROUGH A LOT,

AND MY BODY IS CHANGING-- I CAN'T FIT IN MY CLOTHES.

IT'S NOT CUTE-- I GOT CELLULITE,

AND I CAN'T GET IN AND OUT OF MY CAR,

AND IT'S JUST TEAM TOO MUCH.

AND FOR THAT, SHE SHOULD HAVE A TAMAR SHOWER.

SHE WON.

CAN I GET SOME HELP UP BEFORE I TELL YOU THIS?

BECAUSE YOU MIGHT NOT WANNA HELP ME BEFORE-- AFTER.

CAN I GET ON THIS SIDE, TOO, TRACI, PLEASE?

WHEW. - YOU'RE A LITTLE NEEDY.

WELL, THIS IS THE KIND OF ATTENTION YOU'RE S'POSED

TO GET WHEN YOU- WHEN YOU PREGNANT.

I DIDN'T GET NO ATTENTION LIKE THAT.

I'M SORRY. - THAT'S NOT TRUE.

- YES, IT IS TRUE. - NO, THAT IS.

YES, IT IS, MA'AM.

AND I'M UPSET THAT NOBODY EATS WITH ME.

TAMAR, I LOST ALL THAT WEIGHT, REALLY?

ALL I ASK FOR, A LITTLE BIT OF CHITLIN,

MACARONI AND CHEESE, AND NOBODY WANTS TO EAT THAT NEITHER.

I TRY TO MAKE IT EASY FOR EVERYBODY.

I GOTTA GAIN ALL THAT WEIGHT BACK 'CAUSE YOU'RE PREGNANT?

- HERE YOU ARE, MA'AM. - THANK YOU SO MUCH.

NO PROBLEM AT ALL.

TAMAR, HAS SET ME UP WITH ANOTHER DATE TODAY.

THE LAST ONE WAS REALLY BAD, SO MY EXPECTATIONS TODAY

ARE VERY-- EXTREMELY LOW.

- HI, EVELYN? - YES.

- HOW YA DOIN'? - I'M FINE-- HOW ARE YOU?

NICE TO MEET YOU. - NICE TO MEET YOU.

I HOPE YOU WASN'T WAITIN' LONG.

- NOT TOO LONG. - NOT TOO LONG?

- IT'S OKAY. - OKAY.

GIVE ME A WATER. - WITH LEMON?

YEAH, THANK YOU-- SO, HOW YOU DOIN'?

I'M DOING REALLY WELL-- WHAT ABOUT YOU?

- I'M DOING GOOD-GOOD. - GREAT.

- YOU'RE BEAUTIFUL. - THANK YOU SO MUCH.

THANK YOU. - SO, HOW WAS YOUR DAY?

- GREAT DAY, BUSY, BUT GOOD. - GREAT.

- WHAT ABOUT YOU? - UH, KINDA BUSY.

I JUST GOT BACK IN TOWN-- I'M FROM THE MIDWEST,

SO I GO BACK AND SEE MY CHILDREN AND GRANDDAUGHTERS AND--

- GRANDKIDS? - UH, TWO GRANDCHILDREN.

ONE 11, ONE SIX. - AW, THAT'S NICE.

- YES. - NOT A WIFE, DO YOU?

NO.

WELL, I ASKED DARRYL DOES HE HAVE A WIFE

BECAUSE I DON'T INTEND TO GO OUT WITH MARRIED MEN EITHER.

I'M NOT LONELY, AND I'M NOT DESPERATE.

WHAT DO YOU LIKE TO DO IN YOUR FREE TIME?

I LOVE DANCING.

- WHAT KIND OF DANCING YOU DO? - ALL OF 'EM.

- YOU STEP? - YEAH, I CAN STEP!

WHERE'D YOU LEARN HOW TO STEP?

DON'T WORRY ABOUT IT-- I GOT IT.

YOU GOT IT?

OKAY. - WHAT ABOUT YOU?

I'M PRETTY EASYGOIN'-- KINDA LAID BACK, YOU KNOW?

- NOT TOO LAID BACK? - NOT TOO LAID BACK, NO.

I-I CAN GET UP AND DROP IT LIKE IT'S WARM SOMETIMES.

- OH, I'M JUST SAYIN'. - RIGHT, RIGHT.

SPEAKING OF GETTING WARM, IT IS GETTING A LITTLE HOT IN HERE.

I LIKE TO PLAY-PLAY GOLF-- YOU GOLF?

- NO. - HAVE YOU EVER TRIED IT?

NO, BUT I'M SURE, UM, YOU CAN TEACH ME.

YEAH.

IT'S A VERY EASY GAME TO LEARN.

IS IT?

YEAH, ONCE YOU GET THE SWING DOWN.

- I'M SURE I CAN GET THAT. - YOU CAN GET THAT SWING DOWN?

SO, ARE YOU, UM, YOU SEEING ANYBODY?

- AM I SEEING ANYBODY? - SEEING ANYBODY, YEAH.

'CAUSE I WOULD LIKE TO SEE YOU, AGAIN.

MM-HMM, BUT NOW, LET ME ASK YOU THIS.

YOU'RE NOT--

YOU'RE WRAPPED TIGHT, RIGHT?

- OH, YEAH, VERY TIGHT. - AS THE PEOPLE WOULD SAY.

YOU'RE NOT-- - CRAZY, CUCKOO?

- YEAH. - NO, NO, I'M NOT CRAZY CUCKOO.

OH, OKAY.

WE-WE AIN'T GOTTA GO, YOU KNOW, TOO HEAVY TOO SOON, YOU KNOW?

OH, DON'T WORRY ABOUT IT.

I THINK NOW PEOPLE-- I DON'T KNOW.

WOMEN ARE-- A COUPLE OF DATES,

AND THEY-THEY WANT THE SIZE FOR THE TUXEDO.

AND A GUY, ON THE OTHER HAND, HE WANTS TO HIT IT,

YOU KNOW, AFTER A COUPLE OF DATES.

WELL, YOU DON'T HAVE TO WORRY ABOUT THAT ONE.

NO, I'M-- THAT'S WHAT I'M SAYIN'.

NOTHIN' EXPECTED, YOU KNOW? - EXACTLY.

NOT FOR ME-- AND YOU WON'T BE HITTIN' IT.

TRUST ME-- I'M JUST SAYIN'.

TRACI, WHERE IS YOUR LATE SIBLINGS?

YEAH, WHERE ARE THE GIRLS AT?

CHAMPAGNE LYCHEE NUT, PLEASE.

NOW THAT GABE IS OUT OF THE PICTURE,

WE SISTERS NEED TO HAVE A SERIOUS DISCUSSION

ABOUT THE STORE AND START ACTUALLY MAKING SOME DECISIONS.

TAMAR, CAN YOU HAND ME THE RICE?

I DON'T LIKE MUSHROOMS, SO I DON'T WANNA TOUCH IT.

TAMAR DON'T LIKE MUSHROOMS 'CAUSE THEY'RE SEXUAL TO HER.

- WHO'S SEXUAL? - MUSHROOMS ARE.

AND YOU GUYS DON'T THINK LYCHEE NUTS ARE?

YOU THINK A LYCHEE NUT IS SEXUAL?

YOU DON'T THINK LYCHEE FRUITS ARE SEXUAL?

- NOT AT ALL. - YES, THEY ARE.

- WHY? - REMINDS ME OF THE--

WHILE WE'RE EATING-- I MEAN, THAT IS SO NASTY.

I'M JUST SAYING WHAT IT REMINDS ME OF.

OH, MY GOD-- ARE YOU SERIOUS?

NO, NOT A BALL-- I MEAN A-A-A LYCHEE NUT.

YOU CAN EAT LYCHEE FRUIT.

I WILL NEVER PUT ANOTHER LYCHEE NUT IN MY MOUTH.

I'M HAVING ONE WITHOUT THE LYCHEE NUTS.

CAN I GET A REGULAR ONE?

CAN I HAVE JUST A COUPLE OF LITTLE LYCHEES ON THE SIDE?

YEAH, LET ME TASTE THEM LITTLE THINGS.

DOES IT FEEL LIKE BALLS?

NO.

I DON'T KNOW WHAT TRINA HAD IN HER MOUTH BUT IT--

THAT AIN'T IT.

I DON'T KNOW WHY MY SISTERS ACT LIKE I'M THE ONLY

SEXUAL BEING IN THE FAMILY.

LYCHEE NUTS HAVE THE CONSISTENCY OF A SCROTUM SACK.

THERE'S NOTHIN' WRONG WITH SAYIN' THAT.

TRY ONE. - I'LL TAKE A SKEWER, PLEASE.

GIRL, HERE.

DON'T JUST PASS ME YOUR PLATE.

I AIN'T GONNA FIX YOUR PLATE.

THIS AIN'T THANKSGIVIN'.

YOU WOULDN'T EVEN FIX ONE ON THANKSGIVING.

ARE YOU BEING-- ARE YOU A LITTLE, UH,

PREGNANT SNIPPITY, RIGHT NOW?

YEAH, SHE'S PREGNANT SNIPPITY.

YOU ARE PREG-SNIPPITY.

TRINA, ENLIGHTEN EVERYBODY ON WHAT'S BEEN GOING ON.

I CANNOT ENLIGHTEN EVERYBODY ABOUT WHAT'S GOING ON.

THIS IS A COLLABORATION, AND EVERYBODY NEEDS TO SIT DOWN.

WE NEED TO HAVE A MEETING ABOUT WHAT EVERYONE EXPECTS

AND WHAT EVERYBODY WANTS.

IT'S TOUGH, AND IT HURTS EVERY DAY.

DO YOU ACTUALLY THINK, BECAUSE IT'S YOU,

YOU ARE EXEMPT FROM ALL OF THESE THINGS?

THE

THE REASON

THE REASON WE'RE

THE REASON WE'RE DOING

THE REASON WE'RE DOING THIS,

THE REASON WE'RE DOING THIS, WHY

THE REASON WE'RE DOING THIS, WHY IT'S

THE REASON WE'RE DOING THIS, WHY IT'S HELPFUL

FOR SOMEBODY WHO'S PREGNANT,, IS 'CAUSE IT'S ALL ABOUT

THE HIPS, RIGHT? - YES, IT IS.

AND WHAT HAPPENS WITH THE HIPS?

IT SPREADS WHILE YOU'RE GETTING READY TO HAVE IT.

WHEN YOU WANT THAT BABY TO COME OUT, YOU NEED TO BE ABLE--

YOU KNOW, YOU WANNA HAVE THAT FLEXIBILITY.

THE SPREADING OF THE HIPS, I'M STILL THERE.

- WELL, YOU KNOW. - NOBODY TOLD ME ABOUT THAT.

OKAY. - WELL, YOU KNOW, THIS GROWS.

THAT SPREADS, YOU KNOW?

NOW, TAMAR, YOU'RE GONNA SAY YOU DIDN'T KNOW

YOUR HIPS ARE GONNA SPREAD GIVIN' BIRTH?

NOW, DIDN'T YOU KNOW YOUR HIPS WERE GONNA SPREAD

WHILE YOU WERE HAVIN' SEX-- COME ON, TAMAR.

STAY WITH IT.

I'LL TAKE A SKEWER, PLEASE.

GIRL, HERE.

DON'T JUST PASS ME YOUR PLATE.

I AIN'T GONNA FIX YOUR PLATE.

THIS AIN'T THANKSGIVIN'.

ARE YOU BEING-- ARE YOU A LITTLE,

UH, PREGNANT SNIPPITY, RIGHT NOW?

YOU ARE PREG SNIPPITY.

SPEAKING OF WHICH, I THINK, IN THE STORE,

SHE SHOULD DO A LITTLE PREGNANT SECTION.

A MATERNITY SECTION WOULD BE NICE.

NOW, WHAT STORE IS THIS-- WHO KNOWS ABOUT THIS STORE?

PUT YOUR HANDS IN THE AIR.

TAMAR, WE'RE TRYING TO TALK ABOUT THE STORE

TO FIGURE IT OUT, NOW.

THAT'S WHY WE'RE HAVING-- THAT'S WHY WE'RE HERE!

TRINA, ENLIGHTEN EVERYBODY ON WHAT'S BEEN GOING ON.

I CANNOT ENLIGHTEN EVERYBODY ABOUT WHAT'S GOING ON.

THIS IS A COLLABORATION, AND EVERYBODY NEEDS TO SIT DOWN.

WE NEED TO HAVE A MEETING ABOUT WHAT EVERYONE EXPECTS

AND WHAT EVERYBODY WANTS. - I'M NOT CALLIN' THE MEETIN',

'CAUSE EVERY TIME I CALL A MEETIN', NOBODY COMES.

THERE'S A LITTLE TRUTH IN THAT.

I KNOW YOU'RE NOT TALKIN'.

WHAT ARE YOU TALKING ABOUT, TRINA?

I'VE CALLED EVERY MEETING, AND NOBODY HAS COME.

EVERYBODY HAS CANCELED, EVERY SINGLE ONE.

BUT, TAMAR ONLY CALLS MEETINGS WHEN SHE'S IN TOWN.

- LIES YOU TALK. - BUT, WE'RE HERE TODAY.

CAN YOU GIVE TRINA THE BALLS-- I MEAN, THESE LYCHEE NUTS,

PLEASE, ON HER SIDE?

HERE, GIVE ME SOME OF THEM THINGS, GIRL.

TRINA DONE GOT MY LITTLE TEMPERATURE RISIN'.

YOU KNOW WHAT WE NEED TO THINK OF, GUYS.

WE NEED TO THINK OF A NAME-- WE DON'T HAVE A NAME.

I DON'T LIKE THE "T" RACK.

WHO CAME UP-- I AIN'T NEVER HEARD OF THAT.

SOMEONE SAID "T" RACK, REMEMBER, A WHILE AGO.

IT ALMOST SOUNDS LIKE A-A-- LIKE A SIZE OF TITTIES

OR SOMETHIN'-- UH-UH.

FIRST OF ALL, THERE'S NOTHING WRONG WITH THAT NAME.

- TRINA, YOU CAME UP WITH THAT? - SOME SIZE OF SOME TITTIES?

FIRST OF ALL, I'M JUST SAYING THERE'S NOTHING WRONG

BUT, IF IT'S NOT A NAME THAT WE DECIDE TO USE,

THEN THAT'S NOT A NAME WE DECIDE TO USE.

I REALLY THINK GABE CAME UP WITH THAT NAME, "T" RACK,

AND I'M HERE TO TELL THEM BOTH,

"BOO, IT'S WHACK.-- NOBODY'S COMING, M'KAY?"

WE NEED TO THINK ABOUT WHAT WE WANNA DO CONCEPTUALLY.

BABY, WE NEED TO THINK ABOUT THAT BUSINESS.

WE NEED TO THINK ABOUT THAT COIN.

HOW ARE WE GONNA DO THIS?

EVERYBODY WORK HARD FOR THEIR COIN,

AND I DEFINITELY DON'T LIKE TO, YOU KNOW,

PART FROM MY COIN, AND IF I PART FROM MY COIN,

AND EVERYBODY'S NOT INVOLVED, AND NOBODY'S DOING THEIR JOB--

NO, MAKE AN OATH-- LET'S TAKE AN OATH.

WE ARE GONNA HAVE MEETINGS AND DISCUSS "BRAXTON FAMILY VALUES,"

BRAXTON SISTERS STORE, BRAXTON SISTERS ENDEAVORS.

WHY ISN'T YOUR HAND UP? - BECAUSE MY HAND HAS BEEN UP.

I'VE BEEN THE ONE CALLING THE MEETINGS.

I-I'M THE ONE WHO HAS BEEN THERE.

BUT, HOW ARE WE WE GOTTA BE POSITIVE.E GOT-

WE'RE MAKING A-- TAKING AN OATH, RIGHT NOW.

- I, T. BRAXTON. - I, T. BRAXTON.

- SOLEMNLY SWEAR. - SOLEMNLY SWEAR. - SOLEMNLY PROMISE.

UNDER THE PENALTIES OF PERJURY.

UNDER THE PENALTIES OF PERJURY?

- THAT WE AS SISTERS. - THAT WE AS SISTERS.

- WILL FORM A BOND. - WILL FORM A BOND.

AND TOGETHERNESS.

WHY TONI GOT TO BE THE LEADER ALL THE TIME?

- BECAUSE I'M THE OLDEST! - SHE'S THE OLDEST.

LET HER HAVE HER MOMENT. - I'M THE OLDEST.

AND HAVE SISTERHOOD. - AND HAVE SISTERHOOD.

- FOREVER. - FOREVER.

- AND EVER. - AND EVER.

OKAY, WHO KNOWS IF THIS STORE WILL EVER GET OFF THE GROUND?

BUT, THE GIRLS' OATH WAS A HUGE MILESTONE.

I MEAN, TO AGREE TO WORK TOGETHER ON ANYTHING

IS ALWAYS THE TOUGHEST BATTLE FOR US.

WATCH THIS-- LOOK HOW THIS GOES IN MY--

OH, MY GOD-- I'M SICK.

WAS, LIKE, TEA BAGGIN' OR SOMETHIN'?

NO, THAT'S NOT TEA BAGGING, BY THE WAY.

WELL, WHAT IS TEA BAGGING?

WE'LL DISCUSS THAT IN SISTER NIGHT.

UGH.

OH, MY GOD-- I-I'M SICK.

I THINK I WANT-- DO YOU THINK THIS IS TOO LIGHT,

OR SHOULD I GET THIS ONE?

- MOM, THAT ONE IS PRETTY. - THIS ONE?

- YEAH. - OKAY.

GOOD-GOOD-GOOD-GOOD-GOOD-GOOD.

MY MOM REALLY DOES A LOT OF NICE THINGS FOR US.

SO, TODAY, I DECIDED TO SET UP A MANICURIST

TO COME AND PAMPER HER A LITTLE BIT.

HOW ARE YOU FEELING, MOM-- EVERYTHING GOOD?

YOU KNOW, I'M DOING REALLY WELL.

THANK YOU SO MUCH, MY LADIES.

GOOD TO SEE YOU, AGAIN. - ASK ME.

THEY ALREADY KNOW WHAT YOU'RE GONNA SAY, RIGHT?

GIRL, YOU'RE PREGNANT-- YOU'RE TIRED.

I GOTTA FIGURE OUT WHAT TO DO FOR ENERGY.

WHAT AM I SUPPOSED TO DO FOR ENERGY?

WELL, YOU KNOW, I WOULD WALK.

REALLY?

EVERY DAY, I WOULD WALK IN THE MORNIN'.

I WOULD WALK IN THE EVENIN'.

THAT SEEM LIKE THAT WOULD TIRE ME OUT EVEN MORE.

YEAH, BUT IT'S GREAT EXERCISE,

AND YOU WON'T BE AS TIRED. - ARE YOU SERIOUS?

GIRL, PLEASE, IT'S GOOD FOR YA.

THAT JUST DOESN'T MAKE ANY SENSE TO ME.

LIKE, I DON'T EVEN KNOW WHAT MY MOTHER'S TALKIN' ABOUT.

I'M TIRED AS HELL SITTIN' IN THIS CHAIR.

I'M WORE OUT. - I'M JUST SAYIN'.

- UH, SOMETHIN' HAS TO BE DONE. - LOOK, BABY, I GOT TO RUB THIS.

THAT THING'S SO DRY-- WORKIN' ON MY NERVES.

- GIVE YOU LOTION. - YEAH, I'M EMBARRASSED.

OOH, PLEASE. - OKAY, GOT IT.

YOU'RE MORE INTERESTED IN YOUR NAILS, RIGHT NOW,

THAN YOU ARE ME! - BUT, TAMAR,

WHAT-WHAT DO YOU WANT ME TO DO?

I CAN'T CARRY IT FOR YA. - YOU SURE?

THE ONLY THING I CAN DO, IS TALK TO YOU.

AND IF YOU KINDA LISTEN AND STOP KNOWING IT ALL,

YOU'LL BE OKAY. - WHAT DO YOU MEAN?

IT'S TOUGH, AND IT HURTS EVERY DAY.

AND DON'T NOBODY TELL YOU THAT IT HURT ALL THE TIME.

YOU KNOW, I JUST REALLY WANNA PUNCH MY SISTERS IN THEIR FOREHEAD

BECAUSE THEY COULD'VE TOLD ME THAT BEING PREGNANT,

YOU KNOW, WAS HARD-- IT'S TOUGH.

YOU KNOW WHAT?

AND ALL YOU HEAR IS, "OH, IT'S SUCH A BEAUTIFUL EXPERIENCE,"

AND, "OH, I'M JUST BECOMING ONE WITH MY BODY AND MY BABY."

HAVE SEVERAL SEATS, YOU KNOW?

IT'S REALLY NOTHING LIKE THAT!

"YOU KNOW, TAMAR, IF YOU GET PREGNANT,

"THEN ALL THE ATTENTION GOES TO YOU."

ENH, WRONG ANSWER! - WHO ELSE WE'RE TALKIN' TO?

I'M NOT TALKIN' TO THE BABY-- HI, MOM-MOM.

HI, MOM-MOM BABY.

I MEAN, YOU KNOW, I DO THAT, BUT I'M TALKIN' TO YOU

AS MY YOUNGEST, 'CAUSE YOU NEVER HAD A CHICKEN NOR CHILD.

YOU DON'T KNOW.

YES, IT'S REALLY BEAUTIFUL, AND IT'S A BLESSING.

OKAY.

BUT, MY MOUTH, RIGHT NOW, IS JUICY.

I CAN BARELY TALK.

NOBODY TALKS ABOUT THAT, OKAY?

MAMA, BUT EVERYBODY ALWAYS GOT HORROR STORIES.

YOU KNOW WHAT I'M SAYIN'?

LIKE, YOUR RECTUM FEEL LIKE IT'S GONNA FALL IN THE TOILET

AND STUFF LIKE THAT.

YOUR COOCHIE BLOW UP TO THE SIZE OF A BALLOON.

I DON'T WANT THAT TO HAPPEN TO ME.

WHEW-- JESUS, HELP ME, HOLY GHOST.

THAT'S THE ONLY WAY.

PELVIS BONE, YOU KNOW, EVERYTHING MOVES.

YOU'LL BE OKAY.

THAT'S JUST SOMETHING GOD GAVE WOMEN.

DO YOU ACTUALLY THINK, BECAUSE IT'S YOU-- I'M JUST SAYIN'.

YOU ARE EXEMPT FROM ALL OF THESE THINGS?

NO, I THOUGHT IT WOULD BE--

I-I-I DIDN'T KNOW WHAT TO EXPECT.

YOU JUST THINK ABOUT THE GOOD TIMES YOU'RE GONNA HAVE

WHEN THE BABY IS BORN, AND A NEW LIFE,

A NEW BEGINNING FOR YOU, VIN, AND THE BABY.

YOU'RE A MOM.

I'M JUST SAYIN'.

I AM GLAD THAT MY MOM MOVED HERE.

YOU KNOW, SHE HAS DEFINITELY HELPED ME WITH MOMENTS

THAT I FEEL LIKE I CANNOT GO ON AS A PREGNANT PERSON.

AND, YOU KNOW, I DON'T KNOW WHAT I WOULD DO WITHOUT HER

BECAUSE IT IS REALLY TEAM TOO MUCH.

I'M SORRY.

I AIN'T COMPLAININ', BUT IT'S A LOT.

THANKS, MOM-- YOU MADE ME FEEL BETTER.

YOU'RE WELCOME, LITTLE GIRL-- THAT'S WHAT I'M HERE FOR.

YOU KNOW WHAT?

MY PELVIS SUNG ME A SONG THE OTHER DAY.

OKAY, COOL.

I THINK IT'S A GREAT IDEA THAT WE'RE HAVING A SLUMBER PARTY,
