This is all trash.

My whole life feels
like it's just being
ripped apart.

And I wanna be able
to talk to my sisters
about my divorce,

but I'm not sure
if I can handle

all of their opinions
right now.

She probably feels
like a magnificent fool.

Trina's having
her second annual

- 39th birthday party.
- What party?

Ain't nobody
never call me.

I don't get information
from nobody.

There's still
lingering tension
between the girls.

I don't know if Traci's
gonna make it in time

because of her performance.

Trina would be
completely devastated

if all of her sisters
did not show up

for her 40th
birthday party.

And I'm not sure
if Tamar is coming.

I just wanna make sure
this performance
is on point.

The audience
is going to be full
of radio producers.

So if I flop tonight
on stage,

I can kiss
my music career good-bye.

I'm freaking out.

♪ 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 ♪

♪ On "Braxton Family
Values." ♪

It's any time now.

Yes. I'm trying
to remember the words.

I'm nervous.
The new song and--

Tonight is my big showcase
where I debut my new song,

"Perfect Time."

But my mind
is completely going blank.

When I saw that my son
Kevin, Jr. is here,

it totally threw me off,

because I can't stop stressing
about his engagement.

Should I drink
some water?

I'm freaking out.

I think I'm having
a panic attack.

- What we doing?
- Oh, my God.

- Tra--
- Oh, my God.

I'm sweating like crazy.

This is it.

Tonight, I find out

if I'm ready to be
a solo artist

or if I really just belong

singing background
for the other sisters.

-Hey, little baby.
-Hey, y'all.

Let me ask you, Trina,
you ready for tonight?

- I'm excited for later.
I'm excited for--
- Yes!

- This is going
to be fun, fun, fun.
- Drinks, drinks, drinks.

Drinks, drinks,
drinks, drinks.

What are you wearing?
Ash, what are you wearing?

Oh, I didn't think
that far yet.

Are you kidding?

- Do we need to be
cute-cute or cute?
- Cute-cute.

- So I can wear
a cocktail dress?
- Yeah, you can wear cocktail.

You can definitely
do cocktail.

Don't listen to Trina.

I said I can't.
I'm beyond the years of
a cocktail dress.

Are you kidding?
You know.

Come on now.

This weekend is so huge.

Toni has an award ceremony
and it's Trina's 40th birthday.

Traci's at her showcase

and is supposed
to join us tomorrow.

We haven't
celebrated together
in a very long time,

so this is a big deal.

Ash, that's a nice
little tattoo.

What is it?
Salamanders?

- Yeah.
- Why'd you get lizards?

One time,
I woke up in the morning,

and I had my dumb hat on,

and I said,
"Let's go get a tattoo."

- Dumb. This one.
- Do you like lizards?

- That was dumb as hell.
You need to take--
- "One love"?

She was like,
"When I get rich
and famous..."

I'm not gonna put up
the peace sign...

...I'm gonna say,
"One love."

So original.
On the red carpet.

But you can't read it.
You can't understand
what it says.

Mm-hmm.
Boo, take it off.

I will take you
to the place myself
to take that off.

- Hey, guys.
- Hey, Ma.

Oh, hey!

- You dressed already?
- Let me make some room.

She always get dressed
three hours before.

'Cause, you know,
I like to be on time.

- Mommy, you are...
-...three house early!

I don't care.

I can't take it.
That late stuff
works on my nerves.

So I'll just lay back.
When it's time to go,
I'm ready to go.

I can't believe
how amazing Mommy looks

just a few weeks
after her surgery.

I can already tell

what a world of difference
it's made for her.

Now it's time for her
to get back on the market,

like me.

- Is Traci coming?
- No.

She's at her showcase
in DC tonight, Trina.

She's really gonna try
to come for your party.

She's really trying
to come for that.

- Is Tamar coming?
- I don't know.
I haven't heard from her.

- No one's talked to her?
- They talked to her.

I don't know
if there's problems

between Tamar
and her sisters or not.

But let us pray.
Let us hope not.

I know
they're coming in town.
I know that.

Maybe she's coming,
maybe she not.

But she certainly
hasn't reached out
to Trina or me.

And on that note,
I'm gonna change.

- Okay.
- I can't even eat anything

until I squeeze into whatever
I'm gonna squeeze into.

I got so overwhelmed

that I started
hyperventilating,

and I thought
I was gonna pass out.

I pulled my
medium-girl-sized panties up

and reminded myself
what is at stake tonight.

I hope I can keep it
together.

I just need
to freshen up my look
just a little bit,

and then it's time
to hit the stage.

Is there any air--
like, an air conditioner

I can sit
and it be down--

Okay. We all know
it's that one verse--

♪ I've been taking you
out on the town ♪

♪ Fancy places,
showing you out. ♪

Anybody know
what time it is?

Am I-- do I need to
settle down

- and not worry
about what time?
- Yeah.

Man, I wish at least
one of my sisters
was here tonight,

but they're in Atlanta.

Breathe.

...

- Hey, guys.
How are you?
- Hi.

Tonight I'm being
given the Woman of
Empowerment Award

by the Urban League
of Atlanta,

and everyone is gonna be here
except for Traci,

because she has a showcase
for her new song.

And Tamar is flying
in from LA tonight,

and I hope she makes
it in time.

- Congratulations.
- Yes, congratulations.

So we're all sitting down
at the table

with all of the family.

And I'm just crossing
my fingers

hoping that Tamar
will be able to make it.

Thank you,
all of our sponsors tonight.

We can't do this without you,

so we appreciate
your help and support.

One of the powerful concepts
that the League has embraced

since its
beginning is the notion
of volunteer axillaries

to support the work
of the league.

I have to step backstage
to do a quick interview,

and the awards ceremony
is about to start,

and Tamar still isn't here.

And I really hope
she gets here,

because I want her
to see me get the award.

Okay, see you later.

Go ahead.
Go do what you do.

Look like we done missed
the cocktail hour.

Oh, Lord.

Hi. Hello.

Hi.

So me and Vince arrived
at Toni's banquet,

and we got there
in plenty of time

before the award
is given out.

I mean,
she is a superhero,

and they are known to show up
at the nick of time, honey.

- Hello, hello.
- Hey, you.

I'm super excited
for Toni.

Like, this is a special
award for her,

and I'm just glad
to be here.

Like all of you,

I've watched in awe

as Toni Braxton
racked up hit after hit,

Grammy after Grammy.

And Toni just got nominated
for another Grammy.

What you say?

I'm so excited.

I'm nominated
for my seventh Grammy.

It's exciting.
A great year for me.
I'm blessed.

Will everyone stand

and welcome Toni Braxton?

It is such an honor
to be here.

You know, I have gone
through so many struggles,

like everyone
else out there,

and I've survived
and I've succeeded.

But one of the reasons
I've survived and succeeded

was because of my family
right here.

Right there.

Thank you.

I hope the rest of my daughters
are listening to Toni

talk about how
important family is.

I know they
can be difficult.

However, I know
that they love each other,

and they will
get it together.

I love you guys so much.

Good night, guys.
Drive safely.

Okay, Kev. Okay.

- You ready?
- Yep.

- Let's go.
- I'm so nervous.

And it doesn't help
that Kevin, Jr. is here.

Every time I look at him,
all I can do

is think about this
ridiculous engagement.

Love you, son, but you got
to go away right now.

The long walk
to the stage

gave me all the time
in the world to freak out.

It's like
I'm taking my last walk.

My nerves is officially
shot to shingles.

Ladies and gentlemen,
Traci Braxton.

Coming up on
"Braxton Family Values..."

- He got him a woman.
- Probably.

- Definitely.
- Several.

- I'm sure.
- You think so?

He always had.
When did he stop?

You know how
that makes me feel?

- you, Gabe.

- your couch

and-- your half.
How about that?

Can I get it out,
Toni Braxton?

We were both talking,
both have an opinion.

No, I was talking first
and then you jumped in.

Just because a group
of people agree,

I mean,
they can't be biased?

I was nervous as hell
walking out on that stage.

And now the mic
is giving me feedback?

What the hell?

This is a-- nightmare.

Yeah, Tra-Tra.

- I can't wait to get
a cocktail.
- Yes!

- Who? Who drinking?
- Me.

- I'm drinking.
- Toni who?

I'm drinking
up tonight.

That's good, girl.

♪ Get you a man
with that liquor. ♪

Towanda...

Hey, Wham.

Y'all said...

What was that?

...we were gonna
meet here right after.

We did meet right after.
Right after we changed.

This-- y'all didn't tell me
you were gonna change.

I can't believe the rest
of the sisters

went and changed
and I'm still dressed up

from Toni's award ceremony.

I mean...

I like to feel comfortable,
but at least I look sexy.

Where'd you get these
little fancy things?

Is there a man now?

That look like a man
bought you some new stuff.

They got that
new package.

It was a man.
It was a wo-man. Me.

I know that's right.
Hoo-de-hoo!

Now in my opinion,

Toni need to get herself
back out there

and find herself
a man, honey.

Now, it's been way too long
since she had anybody,

and I just don't
like seeing her,

you know, being successful
and beat to death,

and talented alone.
That ain't cute.

She needs some
healing, honey.

Toni,
you want a napkin?

- That'd be nice.
- Yeah, I wanna
teach you how...

- I know how--
- ...to go out on a date.

- No.
- I know how to
go on a date.

No, it's like when
you have a bunch of boys,

- you start-- you know.
- Yeah, that's true.

That's absolutely
true, Ton.

- Guys like a girl to have
a hearty appetite now.
- No, not like that.

It's been a while.

It's like riding
a bike, though.
I got it.

No shame, Toni,
but dating is nothing

like riding a bike, honey.
Not at all.

All the rules
of dating have changed.

Today women are more,
like, aggressive,

and they
know how to work it.

They know exactly
what they want,

and they know how
to lock a man down, honey.

And plus she don't know
how to ride a bike,

but she got herself a man.

I was pretty
excited about tonight.
Tonight was fun.

It was.

Congratulations on
your Grammy nomination!

I'm excited.

It be you.

It be Beyoncé.

It be Rihanna.
It be Alicia Keys.

I only have six.

- Only?
- Nominated six times, though.

- Sit down.
- No, I was nominated,
like, nine times.

- Ooh, shake the monkey.
- No, no, no, I just--

- Guess how many I got.
- How many?

- None.
- You only have one album.

- You got lots of other
albums to do.
- I'm just saying.

- Thank you, honey.
- Thank you, love.

- Thank you so much.
- So, Trina, ain't you excited
about your party?

- I am.
- Where are you having it?

I don't know
anything about it.
I'm just saying.

'Cause she wasn't
invited.

Now, I always try my best

to make it to my sisters'
important events,

but I have to know
about them first, honey.

I was hoping that this year
we would have it at the bar.

That's so great.

We were almost finished,
the bar, and then we realized

that the space just
wasn't big enough.

So how many people
does it fit now?

120 people.

- Are you gonna expand it?
- Yes, we-- I expanded it.

I bought the place next door.
So it went from 1,200
to 2,700 square feet.

- How much money did you pay?
- So far, $175,000 cash.

175,000?
Do you have investors?

Yes, I invested
all by myself.

-Oh!
- You didn't get a loan?

No. I loaned it
to myself.

Gabe didn't give
a dime towards it.

Nothing.

Well, why he wouldn't give
towards your business?

- That's an issue for me.
- And then-- I'm not done.
Not done.

- What, what?
- Then going through
the divorce,

asked for half
of everything I have.

Even though Gabe,
my soon-to-be "was-band,"

did not believe
in Bar-Chix,

did not put a dime
towards Bar-Chix,

he completely bashed
Bar-Chix--

and yet he still wants
half of everything?

You know how that
makes me feel?

- you, Gabe.

- your couch

and-- your half.
How about that?

He got him
a woman.

- Probably. Several, I'm sure.
- Definitely.

- You think so?
- He always has.
When did he stop?

Can we focus?

So he never stopped, girl?

- No, he never stopped.
-Why you didn't tell us?

-Yeah!
- Well, you know.

That whole
covered wagon syndrome,
I guess. I don't know.

We all know that
Gee-ob was a cheater

and a liar
and a sex addict.

I mean, these are things
he admitted to all himself.

But now he's coming after
half of something

that Trina has invested
all of her own money into?

But you know what?
You know how you know
it's over?

When you just
don't give a damn
what they do.

I'm just--
I'm just sayin'.

You know what?
Let's a have a toast.

Yes, let's have a toast
to Trina not being with Gabe!

-Whoo!
- Okay, I have
a better toast.

We're gonna give
a toast to Toni

being nominated for a Grammy
and her award tonight.

-Clink, clink, clink!
- To sisterhood!

I'm gonna sip
for Traci.

Oh, my God.

- You did an amazing job!
- Oh, my God, it was like
I was on, like,

- this roller coaster.
- I told you it was good.

Oh, my God.
Roller coaster.

I can't believe
how much the audience

loved my new song.

This is a dream
come true.

That was
a good look.

A good look!

I'm proud of you,
because from rehearsal

to thinking about Kevin,

to now,
you nailed it.

I can't be more excited.

- Thank you.
- How's that?

Man, you went up there
and ripped it.

- You was in a--
you was in a--
- I was nervous,

but I-- I think--
I was just singing.

I was like,
"You know what, Traci?

The only person
that could fail
is yourself,

so why fail?"

Towanda.

Hello?

- Hey, Traci.
- Hey, Umba!

It went great.

Aw, thank you, Umba.

Give all my sisters
my love

and tell 'em
I said thank you.

All righty.

All right, bye.

I'm flying to Atlanta tomorrow
for Trina's birthday party.

I don't want
to ruin the fun,

but I might have
to tell them

about Kevin Jr.'s
engagement.

I've been keeping this
a secret too long,

and I need their support.

-Look at you!
- I'm excited.

A bird!

- You killed it!
- Yeah! I did.

- Wings up.
- Yes!

Hi, Mr. Logan.

Have a seat, pumpkin.

See, right here.
You want her to push you?

I think it's really nice
for everybody to be in town

to celebrate this weekend.

Traci's on her way
down from DC,

and then the sisterhood
will be complete.

- He's growing like a weed.
- I know, he's so big, huh?

- You got this?
Yes, you do.
- I know, you got that.

You're such
a big boy now.

Logan, are you a man
or a mouse?

A man?

- Ooh, Lord.
- What?

- He's a man, Tamar.
- I know, isn't that crazy?

- How does it feel?
- It makes you feel like
do you have another one,

or you just ride this
till the wheels fall off?

Oh, oh, oh, you trying--
y'all gonna have
another one?

Is that what you're saying?

Coming up on
"Braxton Family Values..."

I was thinking
that I wanted to talk,

you know, to everybody.

It's important
that you listen

and not
in a defensive mode.

- I have nothing
to be defensive over.
- No, see what I'm saying?

Everybody told you
Gabe was an ass--.
You didn't think so.

But you found out
he's an ass--.

Pay attention.

Makes you feel like
do you have another one,

or you just ride this
till the wheels fall off?

Oh, oh, oh, you trying--
y'all are gonna have
another one?

Is that what you're saying?

Well, you know,
at first I would say
absolutely not.

I am not.

But now I be, like,
I have to think about it

and pray on it and wait...

♪ On... ♪

♪ The Lord. ♪

I would be so happy

to have
another grandchild.

And it would be nice
to have a little mini Tamar.

It will be rough,

but I can deal with it.
Trust me.

I just remember growing up
I liked having siblings.

Well, Tamar,
you were the last one.

- Thank God for Jesus.
- Won't he do it?

Yeah, but...

That's what I'm saying.
He's by himself.

Yeah, well,
then if you all think

you guys should
have another one,
go for it.

You know I'm excited.

I'm definitely
thinking about it

because, you know, like,
at the end of the day,

your siblings
and your family
is all you got.

I don't wanna leave 'em
alone in the world.

That's why
it's important

that a family stay
a family

and not allow
anything or anybody

or people, you know,
to destroy that.

Now, for me, family means
absolutely everything.

Those are the people
who you grew up with,

you tell your deep,
darkest secrets to,

and it's just
important to me

that me and my sisters
not let anything

come in between
the bond that we had

since we were little girls.

Those little heifers
mean the world to me,
believe it or not.

I was thinking
that I wanted to talk,

you know,
to everybody by themselves

so just till
I find out, you know,
what the issues are.

And we can hash out issues,
you know, one-on-one,

where it's not
a collective group thing.

If you're going
to do that,

I think it's important
that you listen

- with an open ear
and an open mind...
- Absolutely.

...and not
in a defensive mode.

I have nothing
to be defensive over.

No, no, that's not
what I'm saying.

You're not listening.
See what I'm saying?

No, I'm just saying
I wouldn't do that.

I just wanna
get to the bottom

of, you know,
whatever issue
that everybody has.

You hear a lot
when you listen

to everything
before you comment.

There you go.

- Yeah, I'm here for that.
- Yeah.

You know, Mommy is right
when she says

I should really
be ready to listen

to what my sisters say,

but I ain't
gonna be the only one
that's listening, honey.

I hope they're ready
to, you know, listen to
my perspective, too.

Hell.

Okay, it's raining.
We have been tried,

and we have to go.

- Oh, God, it's raining,
and my hair down.
- And you can't even run.

Hey, guys.

Traci finally made it to town
after her performance,

and she's just in time
for my birthday party tonight.

And I am looking forward
to a night of dancing

and drinking and fun

and no divorce talk.

So, Trina,
what's going on with Gabe?

I-- I can't.

Ain't nothing changed.

Nothing changed
with what?

- Nothing changed with what?
- Ladies, how are you all
doing tonight?

Nothing changed with what?

- Oh, God.
- I'm confused.

I'm not-- I c--

- I'm not arguing.
I was asking.
- I don't know.

I said nothing.

This is just great.

We're picking up
right where we left off.

Can I get one night off
of talking about Gabe?

I know my sisters
mean well

and I have been
holding back from them,

but it's my birthday,
for God sakes!

I'm relieved
that the marriage is almost
dissolved, absolutely.

I'm not relieved
about the way
it went down.

I think, in a way,
I saw but chose to ignore.

Not "in a way."

- Just say I saw...
- I'm talking about myself.

- ...but I chose to ignore.
- I'm talking about myself.

Trina is still very defensive
about her divorce.

Rightfully so.
I'm just worried

that the more
she tenses up about it

the less she's dealing
with her real emotions.

Everybody's nervous for you,
but you're not.

Like, everybody told you
Gabe was an ass--.

You didn't think so.

But you found out
he's an ass--.

Mommy always says
if everyone around you
feels something,

pay attention.
Everybody's not wrong.

No, everybody's not wrong.

That's not true.
Everybody's not wrong.

No, everybody
has an opinion.

Everybody has an opinion,
but we are people
that love her.

So if everyone
feels something
about something,

- it's pretty much--
- You talking about
someone else?

Who's "everybody"?

I mean, that does not mean

that just because
a group of people agree,

I mean,
they can't be biased

and not necessarily right?
Like, come on!

Like, that's what goes on
with public gossip

and all the prejudice
that's going on.

Not everyone's opinion
on an--

- on a situation--
- Okay, what are you
talking about?

Because we're
talking about Trina.

You must be talking
about something else.

I'm not specifically
talking about anything.

I'm just specifically
talking about--

- What are you talking about?
- I don't believe that.

I don't believe that
everybody's not wrong.

Who the--
is everybody?

All I was trying
to say to Trina

is that we told her
from the beginning

that there was something
suspicious about Gabe.

And so Tamar's trying
to argue here that Gabe
wasn't an ass--?

I know she thinks he was.

She's the one that called him
that from the beginning.

So I have no idea why
she's disagreeing with me.

- In every relationship
that I've been in...
- Okay, let's just--

- ...if someone said
someone's an ass--...
- Okay, let's talk about--

- Let's just talk about--
- ...they pretty much
was an ass--.

Whether I choose
to love them or not...

Can I get it out,
Toni Braxton?

We were both talking.
We both have an opinion.

No, I was talking first,
and then you jumped in.

Okay, you take the floor.
You Toni. Get it, girl.

Thank you very much.

Okay, I can't tell you

what Toni and Tamar
are bickering or going
back and forth about,

because these sort
of things happen all
the time lately, you know?

I'm not even paying
attention anymore.

Boo-hoo.

What I'm saying
is that you have to live
your life your way,

but if everybody
around you,

people who love you
and care about you--

I didn't get it out!
I was gonna tell you.

You at least gotta
pay attention.

You have to at least
pay attention to it.

So what part
were you talking about
that had to do with Trina?

No worries.

Don't act like a kid.
Just say what you
were thinking.

I'm not acting like a kid.
I lost my train of
thought, honey.

I was talking.
We both were talking.

I lost my train of thought.

- That-- no, you didn't.
- Yes, I did.

- I started working.
- Just say what you
were thinking.

We need to switch
the subject

away from this weird argument
between Toni and Tamar.

This makes no damn sense
at all!

My nerves
are shot to shingles

about telling my sisters
about Kevin, Jr.'s engagement.

But now this seems like
a great time to break the ice.

This is a pill
that's gonna be hard
to swallow.

What pill?

- Kevin's engaged.
- What?

Coming up on
"Braxton Family Values..."

Maybe he really does
feel like he loves her.

He doesn't know what he want.
He just graduated
from high school.

Maybe I shouldn't
have let them cook
in the kitchen together.

What?

They were doing things,

like, you know,
couples and stuff.

So you know
what it's like.

What's going on
in the kitchen

when ain't nobody
cooking?

We've never done that
in our parents' kitchen

with our boyfriends
and girlfriends and...

What?

I'm talking about Mikey,
you know, in the kitchen

just cooking meals and...

Yeah.

- Made it feel like
playing house, right?
- Right!

So, Traci,
what are the colors?

You know, for the wedding?

- Kevin's engaged.
- What?

What do you mean
he's engaged?

He got her a ring
and everything.

- Really?
-Oh, my gosh.

My heart sunk.

I said,
"You're engaged?"
"Yes, Mommy."

I said, "Well, Kevin,
you just can't marry

the first coochie
that you dipped in."

How do you know
that's the first sexual
encounter for him?

They may
not even be sexual.

Maybe that's why
they wanna get married,

because they're not
having sexual relations.

- Toni, just go downstairs
and have a seat...
- They could be celibate.

...because they're not--
girl, stop.

They could be.
You don't know.

You know, I think
that's real sweet of Toni

to think that the kids
might be saving themselves
for marriage.

Mm-hmm.
That's real nice.

But most people's
first reactions

to teenagers
that gets engaged
that early

is that that girl's
pregnant.

Girl, you know--
shotgun it is.

Tr-- Traci,
is that girl pregnant?

I said, "I mean,
is she pregnant?"

"No, no, Ma.
She ain't pregnant.
She ain't pregnant."

So I said,
"Kevin, you're too young."

Well, you see, just to--
just to make you feel
a little bit better,

you have happened
to raise

a really good
decision-making son.

And not a lot of boys

understand at that age

respect, responsibility.

Maybe he really does
feel like he loves her.

He doesn't know
what he want.

He just graduated
from high school.

There are some stories
where they marry at 18

and the-- does work out.

Okay, I'm just really trying
to stay positive about this
whole engagement thing,

but I could really tell
that Traci's worried about
our little nephew.

But hopefully
the rest of the weekend
we can be stress-free,

because we are together
to celebrate

Trina's 40th birthday.

She old,
and that's a blessing.

Well, I get you
being nervous for him.

- I'm real nervous.
- I-- I get that.

We're sitting here
having this discussion
as mothers.

And you can always say,

"Well, this is what you--"
when it's somebody
else's child,

because you always hope
it's not your child.

I am so relieved

that I finally
told my sisters

about Kevin, Jr.'s
engagement.

Just getting it
off my chest

makes me feel
so much better.

But I'm still
gonna do my best

to stop this
God darn wedding.

We need to all go
give Mommy kisses

and tell her she did
a great job,

because we probably
drove her to drink.

A toast to Mommy.

- Yeah.
- To Mommy.

- There it is.
-And now let's party!

Come on, Thunder!
Whoo!

No, I am Hurricane.

- Oh, hi, Hurricane.
- I'm Hurricane Toni.

I'm Mrs. Responsible.

This is Trina's 40th?

Well, I hear she's saying
her 39th annual birthday party.

Honey, they got free liquor,
free food, I'm there.

And I get to dress up
as a superhero?

It's Trina's birthday,

and we're all ready
to party.

Tamar is Poison Ivy.

Mommy came as Cruella de Vil.

Vince is Dracula, which
isn't really a superhero.

Well, maybe
to other vampires
I guess, but...

No girl wants to go to her own
birthday party without a date.

But I'm just so tired
of my sisters

being all in my business

that I made my date
cover up in armor.

This costume party idea
was brilliant.

Oh, this is my song!

Hold on, I got it.
Hold on. Hold on.

Open the door!

I'm right here.

Whoo!

I am super duper excited,

'cause I am ready
to come out as fly and 40

and free and fierce.

And a little fluffy.

♪ And you shake
your derriere ♪

♪ Tonight, it's going to
be out of control... ♪

Trina, you're being
a little flirty

with your knight
in shining armor.

Unless I'm mistaken,

I think you're developing
a taste for chocolate.

I knew it was in you.
I knew you could do it.

Go, Trina!

I need to go in
a little closer

to look at this
mystery man, though.

Hold up.
Who the hell is this guy
in the knight costume?

Trina's giving him
all bedroom eyes

and everything
all night.

But, hey,
as long as he's not Gabe,
I guess I approve.

Before the end of the night,

I am going to find out
exactly who it is.

Mark my words.

Coming up on
"Braxton Family Values..."

Well, who was
the guy last night?

- So Trina's
not going to tell us.
- There's nothing to tell.

I'm just worried that Trina's
vulnerable right now.

- He was my friend.
- But he's black.

- I have black friends!
- Not guy friends.

Trina shows up late
to her own party,

and now she's being
very attentive

to this mystery knight
in shining armor.

I mean, who is this guy?

Where'd he come from?
Who is he?

It's very simple,
Trina.

Just open your mouth
and say his name.

Introduce him to everybody,

you know, like normal
people would do.

Okay, Trina.
That's fine.

You wanna play coy,

you don't wanna tell anybody
who your friend is,

fine by me, okay.

Nobody in this family
can keep a secret from
me very long,

so I'll find out
eventually,

but tonight let's party!

Knight in shining armor?

I'm having so much fun
at my birthday party,

and I'm super happy
that all of my sisters came
to celebrate with me,

especially Tamie.

Maybe there's hope
for our sisterhood yet.

Let the party music play!

My butt hanging out?

Both our butts
are hanging out.

Tamar's already
on a plane back to LA,

because she has to work, understandably.

But we're gonna get together
one last time for breakfast

before Traci and I
head home.

And there's this
question that's driving
everyone to drink.

Who is the masked man?

Who is he?

See, I'm doing a cleanse.

Trying to--
not drinking.

You're doing a cleanse?
But it's Coca-Cola.

- But it's not wine.
- Not alcohol.

- Or vodka.
- Okay, I'll take that.

- You're not drinking
at all now?
- No.

You just drank last night.

- But that was my birthday.
- Right.

And I turned 40.
I had to drink
for my birthday.

- Had to bring it
in with a bang.
- Okay, that's true.

I know we're a very
opinionated family,
but I feel like--

- Who, our family? No.
- Yes, we're very opinionated,

but I feel like,
as the oldest, I have
to at least say something.

- Who was the guy
last night?
- Yes.

He was my friend.

But he's black.

I can't have black friends?
I'm a black person.

That's like a white person--
"Oh, I have black friends."
I have black friends.

- When?
- Not guy friends.

Is he African?

No, he's not African.

- Just had to ask.
African-American.
- Yes, African-American.

Okay.
African-American.

- So Trina's
not gonna tell us...
- There's nothing to tell.

...who the black guy was.

Why you have
to say it like that?

- Trina?
- Trina?

Why you have to say it
like that, though?

'Cause he's my friend.
He's my friend.

Do you find him attractive?

Is he attractive?

He's not unattractive
at all.

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

She said, "Do you
find him attractive?"

He's an attractive guy.

The girls are really
pushing for information

about Mr. Knight
in Shining Armor.

And they're making it
a bigger deal than
it really is.

They really are.

Y'all keep
asking me 50 questions.

I'm wondering why.
I keep telling y'all.

'Cause you're very aloof
right now.

You're not
telling us anything.

'Cause there's
nothing to tell.
There is nothing to tell.

The horse is dead.

You guys keep kicking it.
The horse is dead.

I think Trina
is reluctant to tell us

anything about this new guy
because she really likes him.

I'm excited for her
showing interest,

but Trina's been in
a serious relationship

for the past 25 years
of her life,

and I hope for her

that she takes time
and just--

get out there.
See what you like, you know?

Before you jump
into something serious.

I don't wanna see her
get hurt again.

- Let's do a toast.
- Okay.

To chocolate ice cream!

Trina, pick your cup up.
That's rude not to toast.

Chocolate ice cream.

Clink, clink, clink,
clink, clink, clink.

- You know you want some.
- Mmm.

For now,
my knight in shining armor
is just a friend.

That's all my sisters
need to know.

But I had a really good time
with him last night,

so who knows
what the future may bring.

Once you go chocolate,
you never go back.

Doesn't even rhyme.
