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

Why I need a break for?

What 19-year-old boy
proposes to his girlfriend
these days?

I'm really scared
of pushing him away from her

because he gonna
wanna be with her
even more.

I have five days
to get out of my house...

- What?
- ...with the children.

The judge said
we have to sell the house

and it's gonna be
on the market in five days.

I just feel stupid and dumb.

I have defended him
through the undefendable.

I'm glad it's not me
'cause I wouldn't be crying,

I would be kicking
your ass right now.

I married a bitch
for sure.

I don't think
you should pack
yourself, no way.

- I don't trust him.
- That's what I told her.

- I'd have a slew
of people packing.
- But I wouldn't even go.

Don't go back.

My sisters are becoming
more and more paranoid

by the hour about Gabe.

This is why I don't
tell them everything.

Hey, Ev.

Ooh, how you feel?

You need something?
You need some water?

I'm glad my mother is recovering
from her neck surgery
at my house

so Vince and I can really
check up on her.

She's lookin' real good
for having an operation
a couple days ago,

but I don't want
to talk to her too long

because she really needs
to get her rest.

I'm all right.

I'm just concerned
about everybody.

That's it.
You know I'm a worrywart.

I didn't know everything,
like, that was going on
with Trina

till you was in surgery.

Yeah.

No, I didn't know
that things was this bad.

- He trying to take
her business.
- Yeah.

- That's crazy.
- Yeah.

Absolutely asinine.

Now, I really worry for Trina
while she's going through
this divorce.

And I really wish
I could be there more for her,

but she really doesn't
confide in me anymore.

Now, Mommy,
I don't want you
to stress out

'cause you can't
stress out and get better.

- You know that don't work.
- That's true.

I felt so good,
the girls being together

for my surgery.

I hope they can put away
their issues soon,

because we're a family
for God's sakes.

I think that's one
of your Match.com friends.
You want me to get it?

- You want me
to send it to voicemail?
- Don't get nothing.

- I'm taking me
a 10-minute nap.
- It could be my new daddy.

That's why you can't
stress out.

'Cause you can't
mess things up for us.

- Girl, don't make me laugh.
- Love you, love you.

Okay, I'll talk
to you later.

- I'ma take a 10-minute
nap. Okay.
- Okay.

Hello, everyone.
I'm here. I'm here.

- Hey, hey, hey, hey.
- Hey.

- Hey, what's up?
- Tomorrow night
I have a showcase.

There's going to be
radio producers in the audience

deciding if they're going
to play my new song
"Perfect Time."

And tonight
is my last rehearsal

and I am so nervous
and I-I can't bomb.

Looking at the time, Ike?

Really?

All right, Morris Day.

All right, Morris Day,
I got you.

Okay, what we working on?
'Cause I heard everything
changed.

- Yes.
- Really?

-New additions.
- Yes.

- That we didn't
know about till now.
- Oh, my God.

- We got till tomorrow. Okay.
-It'll work out.

♪ I been taking you out
on the town ♪

♪ Fancy places tak-- ♪

Can I do it again?

'Cause I'm--
I know I'm hoarse
and I'm trying to do it.

Can I do it again, please?

Okay.

All right,
I'm doing this again.

Mm-mm. Mm-mm. Mm-mm.

'Cause I can't go
up there looking like that.
I ain't gonna look cheesy.

Ain't nobody
gonna talk about me.

Uh-uh.
I don't think so.

All right.

And just remember the words.

You gotta remember
the words, of course.

Yeah.

♪ I been thinking you out ♪

♪ On the-- ♪
I been takin' you out?

Why in the heck?

All right, let's do it again.
Let's do it again.

- Okay, okay, okay, okay.
- Take five. Give us
five minutes.

- You know, let's take five.
- I don't know what's going on.

I know the words.
I don't know what's going on!

This is a new single,
but I've sung it
a million times.

Tomorrow performance
is so important to me.

This could be crazy.

I can tell
something going on.

'Cause you sing that song...

like nobody's business.

What's really going on?

'Cause I'm checking
some other type of energy out.

- Kevin's engaged.
- Oh, Lord!

I'm trying
to deal with that

'cause I don't want him
to get engaged right now.

I don't want him
to get married right now.

I don't want him to try
to start a family right now,
'cause it's hard out here.

Don't let it get
to you, though,

'cause it's affecting
your work.

You do not want this thing
with Little Kevin

to get in the way
of what you trying to build.

You know,
it's your time.

Kevin Jr. want to bring
his fiancée to my showcase,

but if I see them
before my performance,

it would completely
throw me off.

Tomorrow is going
to be a good night.

So get the jitters out, homie.

Okay, Ike.

Get some ass jiggling
if them spirits willing.

Come on, man,
let's get them
back in here.

- I like it better
that way.
- Really?

Mm-hmm.
You look younger.

Do I really?

After breaking down twice

in front of my sisters
about my divorce,

I realized more what
an emotional decision this is

and I am extremely concerned

about how my sons
are feeling.

And Gabe is not
their biological dad,

but he's been like
their father for 14 years.

So, there's a lot
going on, as you know.

- Yeah.
- The whole divorcing
with Pops.

And it's time
to pack up your room.

The judge gave
the boys and I five days
to move out of our home

and two of those days
I spent in L.A. for
my mom's surgery.

I warned the boys
about the move,

but I knew they weren't really
going to take it seriously

until I got back home.

So, where--
where are we going?

- I found a house to rent.
- Mm-hmm.

Just for six months
until we...

find a more permanent
situation

because this
is really quick.

But I wanted
to bring you here

'cause I wanted to know
what you thought

because we hadn't
had time to

really sit and talk
about anything.

I'm gonna be honest
with you, Mom.

I don't really know
how I feel.

I-I-I haven't been sleeping
very well lately.

Is there anything in particular
about it that's really
super bugging you?

It's just, you know,
all of a sudden, bam,

all of this
is happening at once.

Well, son, it-- I have
to agree with you...

...there's a lot of stuff
that's like, bam, happening
right now,

but you guys couldn't have
been happy with the whole

on again-- we're a family,
and now we're not a family.

Then we're a family,
then we're not a family.

Yeah, but...

I am-- I'm a little bummed
about the whole thing.

Tell me why.

Because it-- it's...

Because it's sad.

And I'm...

nervous.

Change is never easy,

but sometimes when
"death do you part"

means it's the death
of the relationship,

not a physical,
mortal death.

You know, until
all of this is done with,

you know, our lives
can't really get started

- and move forward.
- Yeah.

I don't know,
all you can do
is hope.

My heart breaks
for Eric

because I know
he's really sensitive.

But I'm glad we've had
a chance to talk

and I'm gonna keep
checking in with him.

And I still have to talk
to my baby Caleb,

and he holds
his emotions in more,

so I don't know
what to expect.

It's me, you, and Caleb.
The Get Along Gang.

It's gonna be fine.
I promise.

I know.

- All right. Give me a hug.
- Don't make me hug you.

- I love you.
- I love you, too.

- Hello, ladies.
- Hi, how are you?

You guys are
all checked in.

Just follow me
right this way.

- Perfect.
- Oh! Even better.

Mommy really hasn't left
the house so much

while she's been in recovery,
so we thought it'd be nice

to have a spa day today.

All right, they'll be
right out for you, okay?

Okay.
Thank you so much.

You know, you holding
your neck like you holding
everything together.

- Are you okay?
- Where's your cast?
Your neck brace?

You know, the doctor told me
I could wear it or not wear it.

I never heard that.

So I decided
not to wear it today.

So here I am.
How do I look?

You look like you
holding it all together.

- You doing this.
Like... "What?"
- I'm good.

Do you remember anything
from your surgery?

Yeah.

Do you remember
Trina in there crying
a little bit?

We kept it from her.

I don't-- I don't--
I really don't remember.

I was sedated
a little bit.

So I don't know.
Why? What's going on?

It just seems like
she going through
a whole lot.

This sucks.

- It is emotionally rough.
- Is she eating a lot?

- She just-- you know,
you can tell she's...
- She a little...

...emotionally eating.
You know, carb eating.

- That. Cheeto eating...
- It's the Carb-Fest 2015.

...Haagen-Dazs
eating-- that.

She's not even
really drinking.

The decision she made,
she probably feel like

a complete,
magnificent fool.

And she feels like
a failure.

I went through
a divorce myself,

and the first thing
you feel

is embarrassment
and fear.

But Trina need
to get to the point

where enough is enough

because he is a fool.

But hers is a public
relationship, too.

- That's true.
- And in addition to it,

a lot of infidelity
and it was broadcasted

- and so-- embarrassment.
- But I think a lot of that
was brainwashed.

Coming up on
"Braxton Family Values"...

- I think I'm doing
the right thing.
- I don't like that.

I really wish Kevin Jr.

would change his damn mind
about getting engaged.

I mean, you got
the same coochie
every day.

I still can't believe
we have to say goodbye

- to our home after 12 years.
- Trash. Trash.

Let's get the--
up out of this mother--.

But hers is a public
relationship, too.

- That's true.
- And then in addition to it,

a lot of infidelity
and it was broadcasted

- and so-- embarrassment.
- But I think a lot of that
was brainwashed.

- Control, absolutely.
-Control.

- I don't get that part.
I don't get that. Tell me.
- Oh, baby.

Well, you know--
like...

I remember he made her
feel like

she did
just as much

to the relationship
as he did.

Now everybody know that
Gee-ob's been stepping out
on Trina for years, okay?

And so the one time
she step out on him,

you know,
a few years ago,

Gee-ob done made her feel like
they both played an--

like, an equal role
in their marriage,

you know,
falling apart and stuff.

I feel like I've gotten
more flak than you have.

A cheater is a cheater

regardless of
how many times they cheat.

No, I think there's
a difference between
being a cheater

and somebody who cheated.
There is a difference.

If I go out and I rob a bank,
I'm a thief regardless

of whether I did it one time
or whether I did it 200 times.

I mean, he's just been
so controlling,

I'm just finally glad
to see Trina...

getting her life.

But what's good for the goose
is good for the who, Evelyn?

"Ganter."

What is that?

I don't know-- you know
what a "ganter" is?

If a male duck can do it,
the female duck can do it.

- I'ma look it up.
- I don't-- I don't
know about that.

- That's what they say.
- They both a-- a goose, now...

Well, duck, goose,
whatever-- he's the male.

Duck is a duck,
goose is a goose.

- All day.
- That's all they're saying.

- Hi, ladies.
- Let's get a facial now.

Thank you so much.

Appreciate you.
Yeah, let's go.

- How goes it?
- Pretty good.

- How was your day?
- Long, boring.

It's cold
and wet outside.

Well, I was on time.

Caleb just started
riding the bus,

but I told him I'd pick him up
from school today

because I wanted to have
some one-on-one time
with him.

And Caleb doesn't like
for me to get too sappy
with him,

so I always take
the more straightforward
approach with him.

'cause I want
to talk to you
about the divorce

and all that stuff.

Do you have
any questions for me?

Do you have any questions
about the divorce

- or the move or...
- I mean, not really.

What?

- Why you say that?
- Given all that's happened.

What do you mean?

- You don't know what I mean?
- We-- we-- we can talk.

We can talk very candidly.

But do you really
not know what I mean?

I don't know what you mean,
but if you tell me, I'll know.

All the issues
between you two.

Yeah.

The ugly details
of my dysfunctional
marriage with Gabe

has been very public
and I really regret that.

And I wish I could've
protected my boys from that.

But I've talked to them
about it and I don't think

they should be embarrassed
by the mistakes that
Gabe and I made.

Especially Gabe.

There was definitely
a lot going on.

Breaking up
or we're coming
back together,

we're breaking up
and coming back together.

And you guys saw.

And sometimes I think--
I thought

I was doing what was
best for you guys,

but then, in the long run,
now that I look back--

hindsight being 20/20...

I realize that it wasn't
helpful to anybody.

- You know what I mean?
- Yeah.

Gabe always manipulated me
by saying

he cared about the boys
and wanted to be a family.

So, I didn't want
to take that away from my boys.

And that's what
makes this divorce
so heartbreaking for me,

because now he acts like
he doesn't care about them
at all.

- You know you can
talk to me, right?
- Yes.

And that's what's important,
that we have open lines
of communication.

And I love you more than
anything in the world.

I love you, too.

Thank you, baby.

Thank you, son.

Hi, can I get
a size nine?

- Female. And a size... seven.
- Size seven.

Tomorrow night
I have a showcase.

But I've been
in shock since Kevin
dropped the engagement bomb.

I want to support
his decision,

but not before I try
to talk him out of it.

- You wanna go first?
- Kids are first.

Do I need one of them?

Whoo! Wait, wait.
Hold up. Wait a minute.

Wait a minute.
Wait. Okay.

I got the rail.

I haven't been
on the ice since I was
practically my son's age.

I definitely need
a penguin thing

like the kids use.

We don't need this
to turn into a trip
to the damn ER, do we?

I'm doing good, look.

- So, Kevin,
you and Olivia...
- Oh, my goodness.

- You sure she ain't pregnant?
- I'm positive she's
not pregnant.

- She's not?
- She's not pregnant.

So you're--
you're not having
any kind of relations?

Nope.
No relations.

I worry about that.

Even if they're not
having sex right now,

they're more likely
to do it now that
they're engaged.

For real, though,
Kevin.

I'm just worried
about your mind-set.

Because back when
your dad and I

was together for real,
we wasn't thinking
about kids.

We wasn't.

And you just sprung up.
Boom, there you go
on my birthday.

- A little good
pleasure day.
- Oh, that's nasty. Stop. Stop.

- And then you came.
- Okay.

It was a surprise.
I didn't even know
I was pregnant with you.

After four months,
I found out I was
pregnant with you.

- Four months?
- Four months!
Four whole months!

I was 24 years old
when I got pregnant.

And it was time to sign
with L.A. Records

and it was told to me
I'm-- I can't sign.

Either have my baby
or sign.

I felt as though
I had to give up on my dreams,

but I kept my baby.

I think I'm doing
the right thing.

- And...
- Yeah.

Who thinks like that
while they're in high school?

You didn't come
from a household like that.

We always said
you need some schooling,

you need to find yourself,
you need to travel around
the world first.

Right.

I kept talking,
but I don't think

any of this
is really sinking in.

But I'ma keep it real.

For real.
I'ma keep it real.

That's my job--
to make your life miserable.

I'm just saying,
I mean,

you got the same coochie
every day.

Can you handle that?

Having the same stuff
every day?

Okay.

I really wish
Kevin Jr. would change

his damn mind
about getting engaged.

I have to come up
with a plan to prevent him

from getting married
for at least, like,

another 10 years
or something or more.

So there you have it.

My child say
he's going to have

the same coochie
every day.

Look at your mommy.
Look, look, look!

I'm going to the Olympics.

All right.

- That's your fault.
- Let's just make Mommy's
life easier

since we have
to go so quick

and get it done.

Thanks, baby.

We're moving out today
and there is so much
left to do.

So I've invited
some friends to help us
get it all done.

And I still can't believe
we have to say goodbye

to our home
after 12 years.

Thanks, Gabe.

Always.

- I love you, buddy.
- I love you, too, Mom.

All right,
go get to work.

As we're packing,
I'm really nervous

that Gabe might show up.

He's not supposed
to be here while I'm packing

according to the judge,
but you never know with Gabe.

And if he does show up,
it could get ugly

and I don't want that
in front of the boys.

Why's the door
off the hinge?

Because we had to get
the elliptical out.

- What else?
- This is trash.

- Yeah, it's not so bad. Just--
-Hey, hey, hey, hey.

- Oh, CJ, we need
to take that off.
- The wall mount.

Okay, but I have
a question.

You know, I was
cleaning up downstairs,

and I found
these photos.

I know you're gonna take
your personal photos,

but what about
these photos?

Seeing our wedding photos
feels like a punch in the gut.

And I can't help
but feel disgusted

at the sight of him.

Trash.
Trash.

It's all trash.

- Out with the old,
in with the new.
- Trash.

- That's it.
- Trash.

- That's it.
- Oh, well.

- It can stay there with
the rest of the garbage.
-Right.

All right, guys,
let's do this.

Let's get the--
out of this mother--.

Let's go.

Coming up on
"Braxton Family Values"...

Trina's having
her second annual
39th birthday party.

- What party?
- Ain't nobody never call me.

I don't get information
from nobody,

so I wouldn't know.

- What's wrong?
- I found out...

I can't have Gabe
messing with my life
like this anymore.

Why would he do that?

I'm gonna need room
so I can make my chitterlings.

They are so funky.

Yuck.

Everything's almost packed up,
but before we go,

I feel like leaving
a small gift for Gabe.

Chitterlings
are a Southern delicacy

with a very...

distinct aroma.

They smell like--.

Much like our marriage.

What are we doing?

- Trina's cooking
chitterlings.
- Chitterlings?

- Yes. That's what I said.
-These are
real funky, too.

-Smell like
death, right?
- Ooh! Yes!

I have to leave him
with the smell of the--

- he's putting me through.
- It smell like what it is.

That smells like
that food poisoning I had.

You wanna help?

Mm-mm.

Voila.
Finito.

Thank God
Gabe didn't show his
slimy, nasty, common, dirty,

low-down face
at the house today.

That's the last thing
I needed.

But when he does show up,

I'm glad I left him
a little present.

Don't worry about
throwing this away.

We're just gonna
leave it right here.

- Why?
- Why not?

- 'Cause that's gross.
- It's not trash day.

Okey-dokey-dokey.

-I like the house.
-It's cute, right?

All right.

- Hello.
- How are you?

- Hey, Marcus.
- Hey.

- Good to see you, love.
- You ready?

I am.

The moving trucks
are on their way

and the kids and I are
walking into the house
for the first time.

And my friend Marcus,
who's a realtor,

performed a miracle
and found a great house

for us to move into
right away.

Thank you, Jesus.

Trini.

Wham.

Where are you?

In la cocina.

I helped Trina pack yesterday

and Trina is finally
in her new house.

And as soon
as she called me,

I left the kids with Andre
to come over to see her.

- Is that your hands?
- Mm-hmm.

- What do they smell like?
- Chitterlings.

It's gonna take a while
for the smell to go away.

How was it this morning?

Um...

What's wrong?

Girl...

- I went to the bank, right?
- Uh-huh.

'Cause, of course,
we had to get everything
together

- in order for this--
with the rent, you know.
- Mm-hmm.

Um...

and I found out
that, um,

Gabe stopped payment
on a lot of my bills.

Why would he do that?

Just being mean.

- From the joint account?
- From the joint account.

- You can't do that.
- No, he's not supposed to.

You can't do that.
What, he trying to
mess up your credit?

Gabe went to the bank

and he took my bills
off of auto-pay.

Because he knows
that having yucky credit

will impact your credit
when you do anything,

including
my Bar-Chix restaurant.

And one of the major things
that he stopped was
my insurance.

Your health insurance?!

He's just being so mean,
Towanda.

It just...

makes me sure that I made
the right decision.

- Absolutely.
- Do you understand
what I'm saying?

- Absolutely!
- If I ever doubted myself,

- it's like,
"You know what, Trina?"
- You ain't doubting it now.

- You understand
what I'm saying?
- Yeah, amen.

I'll have to tell
my attorney about Gabe
messing with my finances

because this needs
to get straightened out ASAP.

I can't have Gabe
messing with my life

like this anymore
and I definitely can't have
anything delaying the opening

of my Bar-Chix
wine and tapas bar.

Like Mommy would always say,
"When you're moving forward
in your life,

- you can't take
everybody with you."
- Mm-mm.

And this was a situation
where he wasn't supposed
to come with me.

You know what it was?
You outgrew him.

Yeah, and I can't
slow down so that
he can catch up.

Nope.

I tell you what.
That booty look juicy.

- It does?
- Ooh.

- I've been working out.
- The booty make me hungry.

- I'm hungry, right?
- No, your booty makes
me hungry.

- My booty make you hungry?
- Yeah.

Later this week
I'm being honored

at the Urban League
of Atlanta

and it's a big
award dinner,

and I've invited all the girls--
all my sisters to come out

'cause I thought
it would be nice if we all
got together

and celebrated something
instead of being so stressed.

You know, we're so happy
Mommy's doing better

and, you know,
Trina's divorce
has her stressed.

So, this will be fun
to hang out a bit.

Toni Braxton,
you my girl, right?

- You like my shoes?
- So we can talk about things.

- You don't like my shoes?
- Well, they a little
too little.

- It's time to give them
to, like, Brooke or something.
- They're not too little.

I seen it.
Your heel was like, bam.

Because my foot stopped here.
I didn't push it all the way
in the front.

Seven and a half
is already big
for my height.

If I was a boy,
based on my foot size,

I would have a huge penis.

I kinda don't wanna,
like, imagine that.

It's real kinda nasty.

So, Toni, what's T?
What's going on?

I have that Urban League thing.
I've to get ready for that.

Well, tell me about it.
I don't even know
what it is.

Well, the Urban League--
they, um,

every year
give out an award.

This year, actually,
it's women of empowerment.

The Urban League
Empowerment Award
is exciting to have,

especially as a woman
and an African-American.

And receiving it
makes me feel...

you know,
like I'm a pioneer

and that I'm helping
someone else.

'Cause someone helped me.

So, it's about
giving back, always.

This lisp is terrible,
isn't it?

- What is it from?
- It's that permanent retainer.

I get it out,
like, in a couple months.

- Is that why you sounding
like Sylvester?
- Yes.

Sufferin' succotash.

- How am I gonna say my speech?
- I don't know

- 'cause no man likes a lisp.
- But I can't help it.

It's almost like you have
an enlarged tongue
or something.

That's not cute.
- I don't think the lisp

means that,
but how am I gonna
accept the award?

- Although a man
would like that.
- Too much information.

- Just saying.
- Maybe I should
just tell them

and get it over with,
so they know.

Oh, God, no!

"I'd like to thank you guys
for this award."

Don't say any Ss
or Ts.

That's impossible
not to say Ss.

'Cause you sound crazy.

I am wearing a retainer
because I had to have

some dental work done
and the "Hee Haw" look

is not really
in style right now,

so I opt not to look
like Aunt Pearl

and just put a retainer in.

You ready for
your album, Tay?

How many more songs
you gotta do?

- Like 10 more.
- 10 more? To do?

I just wanna make sure
I don't leave a stone unturned.

You know what I mean?
Like, second albums
are weird.

- You know how that is.
- Yeah, that's-- we did--

- You know what I mean?
- Yep, I hear ya.

Like, second albums is, like,
you gotta, like...

solidify yourself.

Well, I think for any artist,
they don't want egg
on they face,

so they want their next
project to do better

than the previous album.

You know,
especially if it was,
like, uber successful,

like, you know,
"Love and War."

But for me,
it's always been
about the music.

I just want to make sure
that I am completely
satisfied.

'Cause then
you'll live with regret.
You know what I mean?

You just gotta do
what feels good.

If you think of it
too industry,

- you will mess up.
- No, not at all.

I mean, I like the way
everything's going so far.

I'm excited about it.
You know?

- Mm-hmm.
- I'm a little nervous.

I'm "nervecited."

This weekend is also
Trina's birthday party.

What party?

Coming up on
"Braxton Family Values"...

I think Tamar's coming.
I'm not sure.

Trina would be
completely devastated

if all of her sisters
did not show up

for her
40th birthday party.

But I'm 40.

- She worried about you.
- Why you worried about me for?

Every time I think
about my son's future,

I get this pit
at the bottom of my stomach.

Should I get red again?

Well, it's not Christmas,
so, or Valentine's.

But I have that thing to do,
the Urban League thing.

- So you wearing red nails?
- But I'm chocolate.

You don't understand
chocolate girl issues.

- I-- I'm--
- You have to be

a little bit more precise
in nail polishes.

Toni, I tan on top of a tan
on top of a tan.

I've been chocolate
a few times.

You're still not choc--
you don't know about this--

these issues.

- Um, maybe black.
- Black is good.
It goes with everything.

- Then I'll do black.
- 'Cause you have a nude dress,
you can wear black nails.

- But I'm wearing a black dress.
- So you can do black...

- Will I look like a vamp?
- I think black nails
and red nails.

I said that and you said
it ain't Christmas.

It's not.

This weekend is also
Trina's birthday party.

What party?

Trina's having
her second annual
39th birthday party.

So she gonna be
turning 39 every year?

- Why?
- This is her second
annual time doing it.

But she don't look 40,
so why wouldn't she
say she 40?

- Maybe she's being coy.
- Not when you 40 and beat.

So, tell me a little bit more
about this Trina birthday.

Now, who's throwing it
and what is the concept?

Trina's actually--
the concept--

she wants it
to be superheroes.

Well, who told you that?

Who you think told me?
Towanda.

I don't-- I don't get
information from nobody,

so I wouldn't know.

Now, I'm not really surprised
that I didn't get no call
from Trina or Towanda

about the details
of Trina birthday party.

Ain't nobody never call me.

You know,
Trina and I used
to talk all the time,

but I guess they assume
I found out from Toni
or Mommy.

You know,
or the blogs.

Since that's where everybody
getting information from.

All the girls are gonna
be in Atlanta.

Everyone's gonna be there
for Trina's thing.

That sounds fun.

The fact that
Tamar tells me

that she still doesn't hear
from the other sisters

tells me that there's
still lingering tension
between them.

And I thought we were
all moving past that,

but apparently we're not.

Well, I can't wait
for the party.

I can't wait
for the whole weekend.

Let me explain something to you.
Trina is turn-up queen.

You know, a party with Trina,
you know there's gonna be

an abundance
of alcoholic beverages...

- Yeah.
- ...and food, and I'm here
for both of 'em.

- What am I gonna wear?
- I don't know, what do
you want to wear?

Trina has had
some pretty stressful

few days lately.

So, since her superhero-themed
40th birthday party

is right around
the corner,

I thought that it would be
so cool for us to go
costume shopping.

Fun!
And she needs it.

Look at the baby cowboy hat!
Oh, my gosh!

- Put it on, let me see.
- Uh, no, it's gonna mess up--
like, whatever.

- Mm-mm. Let me see.
I'll put it on you carefully.
- Okay, you put it on.

- Let me see.
- No, I'll put it on you
carefully is what I said.

- No.
- It's your birthday.

Is there--
let me see.

- You're looking at Bar-Chix.
- It looks so little.
So, so little.

- Hi, how are you?
- This is really small.
Is this for children?

- No, it's for adults.
-That's adorable.

I can't. It's just too small
for my little, fat face.

- We're looking
for superhero costumes.
- Superheroes, follow me.

Lately my sisters
and I have been dealing

with a lot of heavy stuff
together,

like Mommy's surgery
and Gabe coming after
half of my assets.

My biggest wish
for my 40th birthday

is just for
all of us to get together
for a night of fun.

With no stress
and no drama.

- So, this is mine right here?
- That's you and you're
right here.

- Oh, we're going in together.
- Together?

- I don't want you
to see me nakey.
- Why?!

'Cause I'm 40.
Now my parts are older.

Those aren't.

-Girl!
-I need to stop eating.

-This is nice.
I like this color.
- It's actually cute.

You okay in there?

Well, yours looks great.

I look like June Boo Boo.

Tow, this is horrible.

I'm about to get something
specially made so it can
accentuate the positive.

Tow--

I am not feeling comfortable
in my "Wonder Trina" outfit
I'm trying on

because it's more like,
"Ooh, I wonder what
Trina is doing."

It's a mess.

Anything pop out to you?

My stomach actually
was popping out to me.

And-- and I don't
want to be depressed
on my birthday.

Ladies, come-- come with me.
I bet you we can put
something together

that'll be a lot more fun
and a lot more flattering.

I'd wear
something like that.

-Jazz!
-What's that
right there?

The gold one
is even better.

No, I like the black one.

I decided to come up
with a manslayer character

because, you know, even though
I'm a little fluffy,

I can still slay
any man within a 50...

centimeter vicinity.

Ting.
What do we think?
What do we think?

- What are we thinking?
What are we thinking?
- I love it.

Come walk
a little bit.

Go, Trina. Oh!

- I like that.
- You like that?
You like "slayerization"?

- I like the whole thing.
- Winner. High five, Towanda.

Let's change.
It makes me feel
a bit better.

So, all the sisters
are coming to my party, right?

Coming up on
"Braxton Family Values"...

I'm trying
to remember the words.
I'm nervous.

I think I'm having
a panic attack.

So, all the sisters
are coming to my party, right?

Me and Toni's coming.

Toni's gonna be here
because of the award show, remember?

- Yes, so she's getting
her award?
- Yes.

Um, I think...

Tamar's coming.
I'm not sure.

Trina would be
completely devastated

if all of her sisters
did not show up

for her
40th birthday party.

And with the divorce
going on,

she's very fragile
right now.

- What about Traci?
- I don't know if Traci
gonna make it in time

because of
her performance.

- Where she--
where she performing?
- In the D and B area.

- So, I don't know.
- But I'm 40.

Yes, you are.
I'ma be there.

It's not like I'm 32.
I'm 40.

Towanda had
a fantastic party
for her 40th.

It's your birthday.
It's your birthday.

- Oh, wow!
- It's your birthday.

To the best-looking
40-year-old I've ever met

in my life, hey!

I just hope mine
is half as much fun as hers.

And a big part of that
is making sure that

all of my sisters
are there.

It's a lot
of fun people coming.

- Yeah?
- Mm-hmm. It's a lot
of people coming.

- Friends and family.
- I have somebody I might
invite.

- Really?
- I'm thinking
about it, though.

- Do I know them?
- No.

I have a someone
that I'm thinking
about inviting

to my birthday party,
and there are no need
for names quite yet.

But I'm thinking
very heavily.

Ladies, I hope you
have a fun party.

- Thank you.
- We will.

-Thank you, guys.
- That was fun.

- Yes, that was fun.
- I'm so glad I don't have
to try anything else on.

Hey, Scooter!
Hey, Kimmy!

Hey, Ray.

It's showcase time, everybody.

The audience is going to be
full of radio producers
and programmers.

If they don't like my song,
they won't play it

and then no one
will hear it.

So if I flop tonight
onstage,

I can kiss
my music career goodbye.

And I mean goodbye.

- Why don't you have a seat?
- I'm nervous.

- I'm, too. That's why
I was like, "Have a seat."
- I'm nervous.

-Honestly.
-Booty meat?

But honestly, though,
I just wanna make sure

that this performance
is on point.

Just go with the flow.
Keep it simple.

Less is best.

I'm so nervous.
I'm getting ashy.

No, look!
I am ashy!

Look, I can
strike a match.

Oh, my God!
Ooh, look!

Ooh, look how--
ooh, child.

Tell you, though,
she gave me some lotion

with the oil
and everything.

I could fry
some chicken
right here.

Kevin!

- My baby!
Oh, my baby!
- Hey.

- Hey, baby.
- How are you?

- I'm fine.
- Last thing I need right now
is to see Kevin Jr.

I love him to death,
everybody,

but he's going to ruin
my concentration.

And I am sure
his fiancée Olivia
will be showing up soon

because
they're inseparable.

They're like Siamese twins.

- How you been?
- Fine.

- You excited?
- Yeah. Where's Olivia?

Where's Olivia?

I don't know, just--

Really?

So, he just won't let
you guys be together?

Not really.

Now I'm even more worried.

If Olivia parents pressure them
not to get married

and I'm pressuring
Kevin, too,

then they're going to want
to get married even sooner.

Teenagers always do
the opposite of what
we tell them not to do.

They always want something
that they can't have.

- I gotta go.
I gotta get dressed.
- About that time.

- I know.
- Okay?

I can't be talking
about this right now.

I gotta get ready.

Kevin Jr.:
Are you excited?
I'm excited.

I am and I'm trying
to calm down.

Why you trying
to calm down?

I--

I'm just excited
and nervous at the same time.

- Understandable.
- Yeah.

- She worried about you.
- Why you worried about me for?

Your engagement, everything.

I want this engagement
to be called off.

Every time I think about
my son's future,

I get this pit
at the bottom of my stomach.

I can't see straight,
I'm perspiring out
of my underarms,

and now I have to go
onstage and perform.

It's anytime now.

Yes.

I'm trying to remember
the words 'cause I'm nervous.

The new song and...

Oh.

My mind is completely
going blank right now

and I'm freaking out.

Should I drink
some water?

I think I'm having
a panic attack.

- What we doing?
-Oh, my God.

- Traci!
- Oh, my God.

I can't do it.
