Previously on "Braxton Family Values"...

After last season,

we sisters are divided like never before.

Later today I will be pressing charges.

Ooh, so mad!

Nobody-- cared about me!

I'm done. I'm tapped out.

I don't think that we should work together.

This season, a family crisis unites us again.

I wanted to find out how things have been going for you.

The pain today is just terrible.

-What happened? -I think her sugar dropped.

My mom being put to sleep for some surgery, honey, that dangerous?

We don't know what's happening!

And I need my sisters, too, because I'm facing

the biggest challenge of my life.

Gabe is my soon-to-be ex-husband.

Heard that before. I know that song.

The thing is, I think he's really starting to turn crazy or something.

Don't go back!

Gabe scares the hell out of me.

- It's a lot. - It is a lot!

I'm the one dealing with it!

But the truth is, we're still divided.

She doesn't answer my calls.

No one's talked to Tamar?

You don't run my life.

I'm not doing this anymore.

We need to get it together and we need to feel like a family again.

I don't understand. Am I supposed to fight?

Am I supposed to not fight?

What am I supposed to be doing?

♪ We are the Braxtons and you'll see ♪

♪ We are not like an ordinary family ♪

♪ Toni, Traci, Towanda, Trina ♪

♪ Tamar and Miss E will ♪

♪ Teach you a thing or two ♪

♪ The "Braxton Family Values." ♪

No call is off limits.

From all around the country, what you got?

Traci's here. She's here with us every week now on the Heat.

- Yes! - And it's time for...

Traci's Takeover!

'Cause that's what I do, baby.

I'm really excited because today is the first day

of my new weekly, national radio show.

Yes, honey.

♪ Traci's going national ♪

♪ Traci's going national ♪

♪ She has a hit what big-time, oh, y'all. ♪

Okay.

- Woman on phone: Hi, Traci! - Hi.

- How are you? - I'm peachy.

- I have a question. - Uh-huh, answer.

What's going on with you and your sisters?

Uh, well, me and my sisters, we're still sisters

and we share the same DNA.

Why y'all keep calling me up and asking me

about the drama between me and my sisters?

Really? Like y'all ain't never had no drama done before

in your family or your household? Really?

Oh, it's, you know, it's still sisterhood.

You know? You have your moments, you st--

you love each other-- I mean, we really, really, really love each other.

But when you get with them, y'all just fight!

-It's beef. - You make up for lost time by fighting.

- Yes, we do, honey. - Woman on phone: Well, thank you so much.

- No, thank you. - Thank you, Jackie. Appreciate you.

-Thank you. -Bye.

- Bye. - So, at the end of the day,

what's really going on with you and your sisters?

Dion is trying it.

It seems like every time, you know, y'all talk about

doing some music together, it's like, "Ehh..."

It doesn't work out.

I feel the same way. It's like an orgasm that never happen.

The family album brought up too many past issues.

I mean, come on, guys, let's just drop it.

Stop trying to make fetch happen, okay?

It's not gonna happen! There's no album!

It's good for you, though, Traci,

because that way the spotlight is on you guys individually.

You know, with your music, her music, her music.

It's like we can see you guys as individuals now

and not as-- and not as "The Braxtons." You know what I'm saying?

I couldn't agree more. I am more than happy to be focusing

on my own career right now

with my new national radio show

and my own solo album.

Yes, honey, this child is booked.

Traci, I told you to keep it real on this show, right?

- I told you to keep it real. - I'm keeping it real.

- So why don't you tell all of SiriusXM... - I'm gonna keep it real.

...about y'all fake-ass noses. Come on now!

The only fake I can tell you about

is a couple of caps in my God daggone mouth, okay?

Oh, that's right. Oh, that's right.

- That's all I can tell you! -Now I know.

- The caps, not real. - They're not real.

- The nose is real? - I got some back here. They ain't real.

- The hair? - Oh, the hair is not real.

It's dyed. It's real hair.

- I could put heat to it. -You bought it.

- It's yours. It's hers. - Yes! It is mine!

It is mine for a good three weeks.

- Let's wrap this thing up. -Yes!

More to come inside the...

Traci takeover!

Yeah!

Hey, little girl.

Well, you look like you feel horrible.

I do.

What's going on?

Same old, same old.

- Same old pain. - Still?

I'm sorry, I know you can't wait till you have your surgery.

Oh, my God. Thank God for Jesus.

So Mommy's staying with me and Vance

while she waits to have her surgery to fix

her herniated disk in her neck.

The surgery isn't scheduled yet,

but it will be sometime in the next few weeks.

I'm trying to be brave for her, but really, I'm scared.

So, how are things going with you and your sisters?

Why you asking?

Because I need to know.

Mama, I don't want to stress you out.

Well, you see, by me not knowing, that stresses me out...

- Does it? - ...because I think y'all need to let some things go.

Let stuff go.

So after my sisters surprised me onstage in Atlanta...

The girls and I have planned a wonderful surprise for Tamar.

And I'm like,

"What the hell is that? What we doing here?"

- She was mad. - Was she mad, though?

Yes.

And then they mistakenly thought I threw them out.

Tamar's tour manager looked me straight in the face and said,

"I'm sorry, but I have to ask you to leave."

She wasn't talking about y'all.

No, he told me personally.

But I talked to my tour manager D. Leeks

and he feels uber-bad about, you know, telling my family to leave

just because I wanted all the camera crew to leave.

So, D. Leeks apologized to Trina when he saw her

at my recent concert in Atlanta.

So, I don't really know what her issue is after all of that.

You just can't ignore things and think things will go away.

'Cause it doesn't work that way.

- Mama. - How about that?

I'm here for that, but I don't want to

make the situation more stressful.

How would that make the situation--

'Cause, you know, my mouth--

the Lord is still working with me

and, so, you know, when somebody say something,

most of the time when it's not true,

or when I feel like I have to defend myself,

pop, pop, poppity, pop, pop, pop.

I get like you with the popcorn.

You can't solve anything if you don't work on it.

Then you're having a conversation with the wrong person.

Ma, I've left the situation alone. I don't even...

- talked to nobody. - Well, then, maybe you've left it alone,

but maybe there's others with other ideas.

They have. They don't talk to me.

They will.

We're gonna sit down and we're gonna talk.

'Cause y'all gotta throw all of that drama away.

Nobody wants us to be as close again more than I do,

but I'm worried about bringing up old issues

'cause I know it's gonna turn into drama.

But my biggest priority right now is my mama's health,

so I want to keep things positive for her.

God done healed you today

to make me and Logan some biscuits.

- So, come on. Won't he do it? - God have healed me,

- but I'm not gonna make any biscuits. - You are making biscuits!

- I want some biscuits, Mama. -You're not gonna eat the biscuits.

You want me to open the door for you?

Isn't this "loverly"?

I am opening up a wine and tapas bar

and Towanda and I are buying appliances

for my Bar Chicks restaurant.

And I've invested a lot of my savings into this

and Gabe hasn't contributed anything,

but it's okay 'cause this is my baby.

I'm gonna look at some deep fryers for me.

- All right. Very good. - Wait, one second, Towanda.

I see that this one has a bottle opener on it.

- I can get that for you on that as well. Yeah. - On this?

You know I'm glad that I get a chance to hang out with Trina

while we're shopping.

Because, you know, lately she's been, like, really consumed

with working on her new restaurant.

Trina, let's look at these deep fryers.

Tamar gave me a Go Daddy one. A Deep Fryer Daddy?

- Big Daddy? - I have some-- yeah-- something like this.

Everybody needs a deep fryer.

You know, speaking of Tamar, I went to her show.

I know.

Recently Tamar had another concert in Atlanta

and I was just a little bit hesitant,

but I decided to go.

You know, that guy-- what's his name?

D-- Dman?

- The one who kicked us out? - Yes. Yes.

- Right. - He apologized.

He did? What he say?

He was like, "I'm sorry for...

the last show. You know, and putting you guys out.

I apologize from the bottom of my heart.

If there's anything I can do."

I said, "I might get onstage tonight. You can kick me out again."

I was just joking. I had to break the ice.

- It was kind of awkward. - But he was only doing what he was told to do.

And I get it, but I still--

I'm glad he apologized. I would rather get an apology

- from, you know, Tamar. - Tamar's never gonna apologize.

But, you know...

Since the concert, you know, I've spoken with Tamar.

Of course, we're sisters, and regardless of what's going on

we love each other, but I just know that

Tamar's just gonna always refuse to acknowledge

or own her part of the situation.

When you address it, it gets brushed off.

So what's the point of even saying anything to her?

She's not going to change. So I just accepted her

for who she is. That's all.

Yeah.

I'm never ever

going to waste my time,

breath, or energy

trying to resolve any of our past conflicts.

You know, whether it's Tamar or the rest of my sisters.

I'm not doing that anymore

because it's not gonna change anything.

Pleasure to meet you sister today.

- Isn't she super cute? - Yes.

I feel like right now there's a Band-Aid on our sisterhood.

Especially because no one ever wants to address the problem.

But you know what? Eventually that Band-Aid's gonna fall off

and all hell's gonna break loose.

Coming up on "Braxton Family Values"...

I'm glad that you entrusted me

in telling me and confessing.

- Just promise you're not gonna say anything. - I promise.

She tried it.

I'm not being shade, it comes from love.

Does anyone else have something loving to say?

So you've been eating all the daggone bacon?

-I did. - Oh! Look.

Look what happened.

Really?

- Don't play with me. - You won't eat it.

I'm not eating it, you're eating it.

I'm excited to make brunch today for my husband

and my baby boy Kevin Jr.

I never really get to spend much quality time

with my son these days.

He doesn't have time for his mama anymore.

Look, I'm an old-fashioned kind of person.

- Making pancakes. - Those are perfect cakes.

- Kevin! - Where's our son?

I thought I heard him coming upstairs.

- Uh... where you going? - Oh.

K.

-Go out to eat?! - Kevin Jr.: Yeah.

Oh, hell, no! I'm making these damn pancakes.

- I don't think so! - Well, why you cooking so late?

It's called brunch.

I already made plans to go out to eat with Olivia.

But y'all see each other every day.

Don't you think y'all two need a break?

Why I need a break for?

Are you done?

- All right, bye, son. - Kevin Jr.: I see y'all later?

- Goodbye. Have a good day. - Okay.

Kevin and Olivia have been dating for three years.

And I think it's three years too long

because I do believe they need to adventure out in the world.

You just don't marry the first booty that comes at the door.

I'm really scared of keep pushing him

away from her because that means

he gonna wanna be with her...

- even more. - Yeah.

I just had him yesterday!

Nine hours I pushed him out!

Now he got a girlfriend.

That he's possibly pushing in.

Eww.

And we all know what comes next.

Trina had her child-- Mommy and Daddy got married

when they was younger. You know--

- How old were they? - 17 and 18.

- Mommy and Daddy was freaky like that? - Yes!

- I can't imagine them getting it then. - Mommy was what?

Um, 18 when she had Toni.

Following year after they got married.

Kevin Jr. already postponed college,

but I'm really hoping he start in the fall.

His focus should be on getting ready for college

instead of his little nasty girlfriend.

Okay, I lost my appetite.

- Where you going? - In the store.

-Hi, how are you? -Hello.

Your daughter is beautiful, by the way.

Yes, yes.

I'm taking Trina dress shopping with me

because I'm actually going out on a date with Andre. Yup, I am.

So I decided that I wanted to go get me

some "Do me, baby" booty dresses.

Y'all know I love those dresses, okay?

- I have to get something cute to wear. - To wear for where?

- I'm going on a date, girl. - You and Andre going on a date, Towanda?

Why don't you and Gabe come with us?

- You know what? I need some jewelry, too. - Jewelry, too.

- That's cute. - Because this necklace is cute.

Trina, why don't you to go with me?

- You and Gabe. - Towanda, on a date?

Yes, the four of us can go. That'll be nice.

I don't wanna go on a double date.

- Why?! - Because I don't have a date, Towanda. Come on.

Gabe is your date.

We haven't slept in the same room in...

What's the face for? The "I'm trying to look sympathetic" face?

No, no, because I was-- No.

This is my sympathetic face, Trina.

Really, Towanda?

Okay, I'm sorry. I knew it.

Why you say it like that?

You know I'm at your house all the time, Trina.

And when I was there and I went upstairs

and I was in your room, his stuff wasn't in the closet anymore.

- What, you looking for clues? - No. I was looking for something to wear.

I was waiting for you to tell me

'cause I didn't want to, you know, pry

and do what your other sisters-- what they do. So...

- Did you tell the other girls what you thought? - Absolutely not.

- You didn't tell Toni? - Nope, was none of my business to tell.

- Nope. - We've been broken up for months.

Gabe is my soon-to-be ex-husband.

I'm not trying to show my happiness...

...that, you know, I'm tap dancing in the inside

because I'm excited that Trina is...

actually gonna do this with Gabe.

However, comma,

guys, how many times

have you heard Trina say

that she was gonna get a divorce from Gabe?

I'm filing for divorce, can you please pass the salt?

- What?! - Ah!

Tamar, you doing too much. Tamar, you doing too much.

- I got to give him praise. - Tamar...

I'm in love with my husband.

- Go and get your life. - You get yours.

And now I will

pronounce you husband and wife.

You may kiss your bride.

See? There's been so many times.

So no one really believes her.

Every season is a divorce or getting back together.

You know, we never know.

Trina filed the papers.

Yay.

Come on, now. Come on, now.

- Hi, Gabe. - Gabe!

Hey, Gabriel.

- Ew. I'm still shocked. - Why?

Because I didn't know they got back together.

Trina and Gabe is like Herpes simplex one,

it never goes away. You know, it just pops up.

Then it goes away and then it pops up.

Then it goes away, but it's always in your bloodstream.

So I'm not trying to get too excited

because you just never know with Trina.

Well, I'm here for you, Trina, whatever you need.

I need to not have an opinion. I need for you to not tell the other girls.

- I won't. - I'll tell them in my own time.

I'm not ready for the "I told you sos."

And, "I never really liked him."

And the shouting and the-- I can't.

Okay, I'm glad that you entrusted me

in telling me and confessing.

Have you been crying, too?

No, Towanda,

I was doing cartwheels throughout the house.

I know I have to tell my sisters

about my divorce, eventually,

but I just don't feel like all the commentary

that comes along with it.

"Oh, Trina, we never liked Gabe in the first place."

"Oh, Trina, I'm gonna shout, shout, shout, shout."

I don't feel like that right now.

Okay, well... Let's go--

- Just promise you not gonna say anything. - I promise!

Right hand to the Man.

- Hello. -Hello, good evening.

- It's just two of us. - Okay, perfect.

- I have a table ready for you. - Okay, thank you.

Toni really needs to get her ass out the house.

So, I'm gonna take her on a little sister date.

I'm super, uber always happy to spend some time with my big sister, Toni.

Can I get you ladies started with some flat or sparkling water?

- I'm gonna have vodka with my sparkling water. - Okay.

I think I'm gonna start with the stuffed mushroom.

- That's gonna be it for me. -Yeah, of course.

Would I like anything, Tamar?

- I don't eat mushrooms. - I'm so cold.

- You wanna wear my jacket? - It's beyond cold.

It's cute with your little outfit.

And she's vintage Valintino.

- I need a jacket. - Won't he do it?

- It's too big. - Well, you ain't got it all the way on.

- This gonna help me get a man, too, huh? - Maybe.

Okay, thank you.

I'm not ready for Mommy to have surgery.

She has to have the surgery.

She can't postpone it any longer.

I can't handle it.

I am so scared. No one wants to

sit back and watch their parents have surgery

and they can't do nothing about it.

It's tough.

It's dangerous. You know they have to go through her carotid.

And her jugu-- juggler?

They have to go through her neck to get to five and six.

You know, "Get him in the jugular."

- That's Mommy's word. Everybody knows that. - No, that's the neck.

"They grabbed you by your jugular."

- Neck. - "Got you by your jugular."

I don't think that she-- she was saying balls.

I don't think Mommy thought that.

I thought she meant... You know Mommy don't say words...

- I think you thought that, Tamar. - ...but say words.

- Jugular is definitely not the balls. - The jugular.

I don't know what dictionary she's reading

because the jugular never meant balls.

I mean, maybe they juggle. Maybe they can be a jug--

I don't know what she's talking about.

- Jugular is balls! - It is not!

- I'm gonna ask her. - Don't ask her.

- Don't ask some stranger. - Excuse me.

- Hi, can I ask you a question? - Yeah, of course.

Um, have you ever heard of the term jugular?

- No. - "They grabbed you by your jugular."

-Oh, yeah. - Where is that?

- Your throat. - Is it?!

Yeah.

Okay. "They got you by your jugular." Got you by your neck.

- I think so. I think so. - Thank you. Thank you.

You're welcome.

- How are the mushrooms? - It's delicious.

- Fantastic. - If they cut your jugular, you can bleed to death and die.

- She don't know. - She does know!

She just told you-- said what I said!

She don't know-- she ain't know.

The point I'm saying is, it's a dangerous surgery,

but this doctor, a specialist--

I don't really believe you.

I'm gonna call somebody like Towanda 'cause Towanda--

somebody who know us and who's, you know,

- brown-skinned like us. - Watch.

Oh, my throat hurts a little bit.

- Hello? - Towanda, it's me and Toni.

- We got a quick question for you. - Hey, Tones.

Towanda, jugular is where? "They grab you-- they got you by the jugular."

Where is that? What Mommy talking about?

No, she wasn't talking about the throat.

- She talking about balls. - ♪ Wa, wa, wa, wa. ♪

- Told ya. - Fine.

- Well, anyway. - How's Mommy-- wait a minute. Hold up.

She needs the surgery. She has to have the surgery.

- She can't put it off anymore. - Yup.

Tell Trina about Mommy.

Holy...

Coming up on "Braxton Family Values"...

We know that he's gonna make some outlandish allegations.

- He always does. - And I'm gonna tell you what's gonna be the fight.

Towanda and Antavius: What?!

Is there something else that you don't wanna tell us?

Why don't you wanna talk? It's safe here.

Safe table.

I don't wanna talk about the safe table.

Here we go again. All the "I told you sos."

Towanda on phone: Holy...

We what?

Listen to what I'm saying. Hear me out.

I'm not telling y'all anything.

You should ask her...

You know, general conversation.

"Hey, Trina, what's going on with you and Gabe?"

- I'll ask. - That's all I can say.

- You should ask her. - I bet you she'll leave out some details.

- Just ask her. - Just close your eyes

and picture Toni, Tamar, and Traci

finding out about Trina's divorce on the tabloids.

You picturing that? Exactly! You know?

It's gonna be a sister chain call.

They're gonna ask her why she didn't tell them.

It's gonna be a mess. So, that's why, you know,

I told them to ask Trina about, you know, her situation.

When y'all coming out here?

- You can't come out before that? - I mean, I guess we can all

come to LA for a sister's weekend before Mommy's surgery.

Now, we haven't had a sister weekend

in a really long time

and I know my mother really wants us to address

our sister issues, but I don't think that

right now is the time because we're all stressed out

about Mommy's surgery and now...

we hear there's something that's going on with Trina

and I feel that there's bigger fish to fry.

- All right. We'll call you later, bye. - Okay.

What she talking about?

Girl, talking about him give me scabies and stuff.

I can't. Can't talk.

- Well, I thank you, date, for a wonderful time. - Thank you.

- Are we gonna kiss? - Mm-mmm.

Not if you have a sore throat. Lies.

- I got a one-year-old. - All right, well, you're not a good date

- 'cause this was a cheap meal. - I'm a really good date.

I mean you bought me for the price of a cocktail.

You a liar. You ate, you full.

- I'm not really full. - You wore me some tight pants.

I didn't wear tight pants. I didn't wear tight pants. Get off of my booty!

Push it. Push it real good.

- Hey. - Hey.

- How are you? - What's up?

- Good to see you. - Good to see you.

Hey, babe, what's going on?

I'm really going through with the divorce this time.

And I am not changing my mind.

Now, let's get this divorce process over with.

- We've gone through this a couple of times. - Ah, thanks.

More than a couple. A couple's only two.

- A couple's only two. - You're here for moral support.

That is moral support to let you know that you're ready.

- I know you ready now. - But she is right, Trina.

I mean, you file this thing and dismissed it.

I want to be completely, utterly, unfathomably divorced.

But then you understand, Trina, we've been--

There's no going back.

Okay. All right.

You know, this is not only the end of an era,

it's the end of an error.

I said that.

I actually sat him down and I was like,

"Gabe, I can't do this anymore."

And-- and I was like, "I would love for us to be amicable."

And he was like,

"No, I'm not gonna do that. I'm not gonna be amicable."

I'm like why-- why do you have to be mad? Why do you have to do that?

He was like, "You know, whoever you end up with

they're gonna end up cheating on you, too."

He was like, "You ain't no prize."

Towanda and Antavius: What?!

We know that he's gonna make some outlandish allegations.

- He always does. -Mm-hmm.

He was like, "I created you. I created your brand."

- Like, "Whoa, wait, now." - And yet they know him as

- the Internet guy, right? - He is the Internet guy.

I mean, I didn't even know him in 1989 when we came out as The Braxtons.

I don't know how he built my brand, but...

Did he teach you the hand gesture thing?

Did he-- did he say that?!

If he taught you this hand gesture

that means he was wearing your pumps.

I am 100% serious about the divorce

and there is no way he's gonna win me back this time.

This is going to get ugly.

Are you all still living in the same house?

We are living in the same house and in different rooms.

- Clearly you're not cohabitating... - No.

- ...and sleeping together. - No.

But I'm gonna tell you what's gonna be the fight.

I want the house especially because Caleb is still in school.

Of course you do want the house, 'cause that's your house.

You're entitled to the house. This is your boy's home.

And knowing Gabe and the way that he operated the last time,

he's probably gonna try to come after Bar Chicks.

My biggest fear in this divorce

is that Gabe is going to try to stake a claim on Bar Chicks.

In all the other attempts when Gabe and I

were going through our divorces--

you know, every time he came after my finances,

came after my music, he came after my businesses.

Gabe is just being greedy.

Ass--.

I think, for him, it's like, "Okay, well, she's-- she's never gonna leave.

-Sure. - No matter what I do, she's never gonna leave."

And I think he's really starting to get angry because he can see.

Based on what you've shared with me now,

I'm even more concerned about how he's gonna respond to you.

Whenever it comes around this divorce issue,

um, and you leaving him,

he begins to unravel.

I think Gabe finally realizes

that I'm finally going through with this divorce

and now he's gonna lose me for good.

And I'm worried that he might do something desperate.

Plus, there's even more to the story

that I can't even bring myself to tell right now.

This man is not stable

in my opinion.

I shudder to even think about the possibilities.

I really do.

I got to get my life together.

You know I have not worked out at all this year?

- I've been working out like twice a day. - At all, not once!

That's why I got the flats on because my ankle's been bothering me.

I'm just glad we're all together for the weekend.

You know, just to hang out and have fun

because the next time we'll be together

it'll probably be for Mommy's surgery.

And that's gonna be stressful for everyone.

I had heard that you moved.

- I wanna see your new house. - I did. I moved.

Oh, she moved.

- Hey, big money. - Hey, guys.

- Hey, big boots. - Hey.

How was your flight?

- I don't want to see your butt. - Jesus.

Towanda's very "Soul Plane" today.

- It is real "Soul Plane." - Well, I do have soul.

Don't get me wrong, I love seeing my sisters,

but I'm a little worried about this weekend.

We definitely have issues we should discuss,

but I'm not ready to deal with that now.

I don't even know if this is the time

to tell them about the divorce.

Are you excited about moving Tray?

Oh, my God, yes, I am so excited.

Well, talk about the house. Talk about it!

Um, it's about 10 minutes away from where I used to live.

And I need to move out of that neighborhood

because people was knocking at my door and was like,

"Uh, oh, my God, it is you!"

Or they'll stay out in front of the house before I--

you know, when I leave out the house and take pictures.

- So, I had to move. - Are you serious?

- Little Kevin, he happy? - I don't think Kevin really knows

because he's always with Olivia.

You know, after he graduated I said,

"Kevin, you gonna go to college?"

He said, "Well, no, Mom, I'm just gonna take a year off."

I told him to do that.

You told him to do that?!

- Like three years ago. - That was your bright idea?

No, wait, wait, wait.

We were talking about plans.

He said he wanted to be an entrepreneur, so...

I want him to go away so he can know himself.

He gonna meet somebody.

No, he really like this girl.

No, he really, really like this girl.

- She's a sweetheart, he really likes her. - They spend every moment.

Kevin Jr. and his girlfriend Olivia are too much.

Young love is nice and all,

but I don't like it.

They obsessed with each other.

I mean, isn't it good to be a Braxton?

I mean, look at-- Trina got her hair chopped up.

Trina, what you going through, what's wrong?

I'm just saying, whenever Trina's going through something,

- she cuts her hair. - That's what I said!

What's happening?

It looks amazing. That's not shade at all.

No, I didn't take it as shade.

Okay, good segue, Tamar.

She didn't need to-- to be so obvious

with putting Trina on the spot.

Subtlety is not Tamar's specialty.

I just feel like Towanda knows, but we don't know.

-I think she-- - Towanda, I can speak for myself.

I know, I just know you're not ready to talk about it.

I just know you not ready for that part.

I can speak for myself,

but I don't choose to speak for myself right now.

That's all I'm saying. That's what I said.

I can say it about myself, though.

You're going through something, yes?

We're getting a divorce.

Coming up on "Braxton Family Values"...

It's more serious than you guys think it is.

Gabe scares the hell out of me.

Is it something we're gonna find out?

It's gonna be on the Internet again?

If they knew the whole truth about Gabe,

they would go absolutely ballistic.

I have some news to tell y'all.

This is some bull--, everybody!

Ooh, I'm gonna kill him.

We're getting a divorce.

- Again? - Tamar...

Are y'all really? Seriously?

Seriously.

Trina said she's getting a divorce from Gabe.

Heard that before. I know that song.

Uh... we'll see.

I hope so. I shouldn't say that.

I'm not holding my breath this time

and I am not going to nobody's other wedding.

Renewal of anything. Okay?

I'm still waiting on the call for her to say,

"We back together." You know?

You're going through something, yes?

We're getting a divorce.

Again?

Tamar...

Are y'all really? Seriously?

Seriously.

We've been, um...

living in a separated state for a long time.

- I was in the master, he was in the guest. - How you didn't tell us?

-Well, because... -Of me.

Because last time I told you, you started shouting

- and that's inappropriate. -Yes, you did.

Well, I was happy for you.

I want her to know that I am super supportive

of her decision making and I've always been happy

when she's filed for divorce. No shade, girl.

But we've always recently tried to support Trina

when she wanted to work it out with him again.

How long y'all been back together?

It's been a couple-- been about two months.

Shut up! Hear, hear to working it out when it's worth it.

- Yes! - The only person to tell y'all that is y'all.

- It's your life. - Clink, clink, clink.

Ever since I figured out he was a fool

from outerspace.org, I got it.

You know what I mean? So that's why I was shouting.

I wasn't trying to be funny. I was just happy for you

'cause, you know, you got your life.

You seen what everybody else-- what, you know, Towanda was seeing,

like 13 years ago, but it's okay.

Here we go again. All the "I told you sos."

Especially from Tamar.

Even though she just a little bit right,

it's still really humiliating.

Thank you. It's hard to move on.

You wanna make something work.

He's your family. He's your husband. I get it, but...

y'all know Trina believes in magic.

She tried it. She tried you.

Your tank should be full, honey.

She filled your tank all the way up!

- I believe in magic. - Premium! Read her! She tried it.

I don't know if you paying attention, but I pay attention, okay?

So, I told Trina she need to read Toni for pure filth

for that because she don't be getting...

the reads. Why? Why you don't catch it, girl?

I caught it. I always catch it.

- Trina believes in magic. -She does.

Trina believes in love. She's old-school.

There's nothing wrong with that, Trina, I'm kinda like that.

I can't sure if I can hear you

past the palm trees that you are giving me.

I'm not being shade. I'm your older sister.

- I'm telling you this comes from love. - Palm tree.

Okay, does anyone else have something loving to say?

- Tamar. - Thanks, Trina.

Well, um...

is there anything in particular

that happened that made you want to,

you know, file for divorce?

- Was it another woman? - I mean, there was some other things going on.

- Just some other things. - He did something else you don't want to tell us.

Why don't you wanna tell us? It's safe here.

Safe table.

I don't-- I don't wanna talk about the safe table.

What he do to make you say,

"Okay, enough is enough"?

I just-- I was just ready.

So you just woke up? Ding, ding, ding, ding!

- Bells. - Yes, pretty much.

You just giving us half the story.

I feel like I'm reading a novel,

then I open it up, the middle pages is gone. Really?

Is it something we're gonna find out?

It's gonna be on the Internet again?

I'm just saying it's, um...

it's more serious than you guys think it is.

What happened? So tell us what happened then.

They haven't even heard the scariest part

and ere is no effing way

I'm telling them the whole story right now.

The thing is, I think he's really starting to turn crazy or something because...

- Starting?! - Turn?

No, no, mm-hmm. This is different.

Gabe scares the hell out of me.

I mean, Trina overlooks a lot of his crazy behavior.

The GPS did it for me. When he had a LoJack on you.

My phone's acting funny.

I got your phone and I installed some software on there

that allows for me to track everything.

- you and-- your couch

and-- that horse that you just rode up in on.

'Cause that some bull-- right there, Gabe.

That's craziness!

Gabe is just too possessive and obsessed.

You know, even though Gabe is cuckoo for Cocoa Puffs,

I'm just not ready to tell the girls

everything that's going on in our divorce.

He's trying to take everything I've worked so hard to build.

If they knew the whole truth about Gabe,

they would go absolutely ballistic.

Well, Trina, don't you gotta go to the bathroom?

Why?

You're not going to the bathroom?

No, she don't need to go to the bathroom.

You don't wanna go pee? Go take a load off.

- Just let it out. - I don't want to.

She don't have to pee, Tamar, you don't have--

I'm not leaving so you can talk about it right now.

- Oh, damn. -Enough said.

She wanted you to leave so she could talk about you.

- Yes. -Right.

Coming up on "Braxton Family Values"...

A divorce is war and you better fight.

You better go for their jugular.

I don't look so bad with this.

- I look kinda cute. - No.

- You don't think? - No, ma'am.

I'm just trying to figure out why you got your purse?

Where you going?

Even though Mommy's neck is hurting her,

she strapped on her neck brace to hang out

with us while we were all in town.

I wish Toni could have been here, too,

but she had to work today.

They say old people do, they carry their purse,

- but I don't feel comfortable without my purse. - I can make it more stylish.

- Here. Put it around your shoulder. - Oh!

Oh, drape on your-- oh, you told 'em that.

I look pretty good with it.

- Traci. - It's amazing.

- There you go, Traci. - Yeah, cowgirl.

- It look great. - Whoop, whoop.

- Whip it, whip it. - Tamar, why do you always do...

-...the same dance?! - Because she's a twerking cowgirl.

-Girl, the same dance? - Over and over.

- What? What? What? What? What? What? - See?

- What? What? What? What? What? What? - I make it rain.

- All over my purse. I better take it back now. - No.

- If it gives you all that energy. - Yes, honey.

'Cause I need more energy.

You know, it feels really good for all of us to come together.

I'm sure it's even more comforting for my mom...

...to see us, you know, all getting along

and just putting whatever we have aside

just to be there for her.

Can you turn around?

- Wow. - What?

- I quit. - What?!

You turned your back completely around?

- That's the only way I can walk. - It's the neck brace.

It is, 'cause she can't turn around nowhere.

Yeah.

Wait a minute, this whole conversation can't be about me.

I don't know. I'd rather talk about you than me.

So what's going on?

Finally filed for my divorce with Gabe.

What?

It was just like, I'm just...

sick and tired of being sick and tired.

And I'm finally all right and I'm finally ready.

Like, for real this time.

- For real? - For real, for real, for real, for real, for real, for real.

She looks so sad.

My heart just bled for her.

But sometime you've got to do what you've got to do.

If it's not working out,

let it go, for God's sakes.

I'm telling you a divorce is war.

And you better fight.

You better go for their jugular.

Yeah.

Everybody know the jugular mean the balls.

You know, I think Tamar thought I was talking about something else,

but Tamar knowing me, she know I wouldn't--

certain things I just won't say.

I may say testicles,

but Tamar know good and well

I didn't mean the man's testicles.

But then, if it need be,

and you going through a horrible divorce like that,

maybe you should.

So you watch your back.

Mommy's right. If Gabe thinks I'm not gonna fight for what's mine,

he's dead wrong.

The more he pisses me off, the stronger I become.

And if Gabe wants to fight, he better be ready to take on all of us.

- Let's go. - Come on, Mommy.

I know. And all days.

I don't have my-- my jacket on.

I was happy. He was like, "Let's go."

I was like, "All right."

Oh, my goodness.

Tonight Kevin Jr. surprised us and he said

he wanted to take us out to dinner.

He's finally missing his mama.

Yeah, right, y'all.

So I'll give you guys a chance to look over the menu.

- Okay. - We got some large crabs on order for you.

- Well, I'm giving you all the updates. Okay? - Okay.

Trina and Gabe are going through another divorce.

Another divorce? Wow.

I would never thought they would've woke up.

-Yeah. - Really?

Yeah. They seem always close.

I know.

I guess I have some news to tell y'all.

What news?

- His blessings? - Kevin Jr.: Yeah, for his blessings.

- What you mean "blessings"? -Blessings?

Blessings like blowing the candle?

For marriage?!

My 19-year-old son?!

Proposed to his girlfriend?!

Ooh, I'm gonna kill him.

This is some bull--, everybody! Really?!

Is she pregnant?

Look at my face.
