Who is this guy,
where did he come from,
who is he?

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

I have black friends.

When?

- Kevin's engaged.
- What?

I've been in shock

since my son Kevin
dropped the engagement bomb.

There are some stories
when they marry at 18

and the--
doesn't work out.

I was thinking
that I wanted to talk...

ya know, to everybody.

You know, one-on-one
where it's not

a collective
group... thing.

I just wanna
get to the bottom

of, you know, whatever

issue that everybody had.

♪ 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." ♪

You're gonna
love this place.

What you love about it?

It is great.

I've been nominated
for my 7th Grammy.

Babyface and I
are nominated for
"Best R&B Album."

And I'm so excited,
and a little nervous.

It's only a few days away,
so I'm going to juice cleanse

so I can slim
down a little bit.

- Good to see you again.
- Good seeing you.

- I-- I need to juice
for three days.
- Okay.

- Okay.
- Which one of the
greens should she try?

- She's a lightweight.
- I don't want no greens.

- It tastes
like dirt to me.
- Try--

- Try this one,
this is our newest one.
- Try it.

- Orange tw--
- I don't know that one.

Try the greens.

No, I did-- I've tried it.
I don't like it.

Then why did you come with me
if you're not gonna try it?

- Boo. Boo.
- No. I've tried--

what I'm telling you
is I tried that one.

- And it's-- that's
really green-y.
- You just taste--

Okay, I will taste it.
I shouldn't have brought
you with me.

Why? I'm the best.

Now, I've been living
in LA a long time, but...

I still ain't interested
in drinking no damn grass, Toni.

That's nasty.

Towanda's gonna love
this one, I promise.

This is gonna
be her favorite one.

This is the Brazilian Nut.

You putting everybody
on cleanses, Toni?

Towanda's hosting...

a show like "American Idol"
for writers or something.

Well, how you get the 411?

Because I be asking,
"Where you going?"

"Well, I just got this
thing to do."

You know, she's real... bland
about it.

You know what,
you should help her.

What you mean?

You know how you do
the thing for the reel?

- Do the thing?
- You know what I mean.

- Talk to people. I mean,
she's good at it, naturally,
- Hells, yeah.

but everyone
could use a little help.
You should help her.

I know you don't have
time right now, but...

It's not that.
I think-- I think--
I think so.

I do wanna reconnect
with my sisters.

But, you know...

I-- I can't say
what's the best way
to be close with everybody.

I mean... I don't know how
Towanda feels

about me giving her
unsolicited advice.

But I'm definitely ready
to give her some advice

if she wants
to take it now.

Can I get the one green juice
with the ginger in it, just one?

Yeah, of course.

That's so good.

Traci, Trina, and Towanda
are coming to LA

for a couple of days
for the Grammys.

And I'm so
excited they are coming
to support me, but...

we really need
to mend our sisterhood.

Tamar told me
she wants to meet with
them one-on-one,

and I think that's
actually a great idea.

I hope it actually
happens.

Aren't you excited
about the Grammys?
It's in, like, four days.

I'm so excited,
but I have no dress.

- What you mean you
don't have no dress?
- My dresses haven't come.

Because of the
snowstorm in New York,
I have no dress.

- Ain't nobody
got time for that.
- I have no dress yet.

- You don't have
no backup at all?
- There's no dress.

Marc was sending
me three dresses.
Marc Bouwer dresses,

I mean, there is no other
designer for me.

I have three
dress options coming
from Marc Bouwer.

And he's
an incredible designer.

He's done Beyoncé,
Angelina Jolie--

I mean, everyone, and every
time I've worn his dresses
in the past,

I've won an award.

So, he's kind of
like my good luck charm.

I have to figure out
what I'm gonna do.

But at least I'll be
five pounds thinner.

- But you already look
amazing. You tripping.
- No, I need to look...

youthful, young, thin.

Oh, girl, please.

You need a couple
more of them nut drinks.

You be youthful enough.

- Girl, I gotta get it together.
- Come on, let's go.

Let them young girls
know I still got it.

- You ready for today?
- I'm ready.

- You ready? You ready?
- Yeah. I'm ready.

- I'm ready.
- Me, too.

I am the host

for a brand-new TV pilot.

That's a songwriting
competition show.

And today we are shooting
my host introduction.

And I've never hosted
a show before.

But I know I'm a natural.

Okay, here we go.

Host intro,
take one.

Ready.

Hi, everybody,
I'm Towanda Braxton.

Yes, one of the famous
Braxton sisters.

And I am a do-wop,
pop-pop chick, for all
of my sisters.

I have no shame.

I am so excited
to be part of "My Lyrics,"

the number one
writing song--

ah, do it again.

Damn.

I'm really excited
to be part of "My Lyrics."

"My Lyrics."

- It's good. Yeah. Cut.
- Good job. Yeah.

Okay.

Towanda is super excited
about shooting her pilot,

so I'm stopping by
to show my support

since she's been
so supportive to me
through my divorce.

Come in.

Trinnie Weenie.

- What's uppers? Kisses.
- Hey.

-Mwah.
- Love you.

Love you.

How's it going?
Am I late?

Are you late?
Yes.

So explain to me
what's going on, though.

You know, today,

they're just having
the auditions

and then they're gonna
choose 10 people.

And they have to perform
tomorrow on the stage.

Tomorrow?
What time?

7:00.

You not gonna
be able to come?

I'm going on a date

tomorrow.

With who?

I'm not telling you.

Even though Towanda
is the keeper of secrets,

I am just not
ready to put this
out there yet.

And as soon
as I talk about it,
it's gonna be a real thing.

And I just want to
keep it casual for now.

I'm excited that you're
going out on a date with him.

I just want
you to take your time.

- Well, we're just
going to dinner.
- Because your heart

is just a little
fragile right now.

My heart is
slightly fragile.

It's fragile, that's it,
so just, you know.

But have fun.

Although
it's a little fast.

I don't want her
to get hurt again.

I'm just glad that she's...

dating anybody
other than Gabe.

He's a really
nice guy, though.

But don't tell the girls.

Towanda, look at me.

Because you know
you would tell the girls.

Trina's going
on a date.

I'm not gonna tell
your nosy sisters.

- Please don't...
- I'm not.

- Do you know
where you're going?
- Don't know where we're going.

He's like, he's gonna, like,
take me out on a real date.

Okay, how
about I go, right?

No, Towanda,
you cannot go.

- 'Cause I wanna watch.
- Towanda.

- No. You cannot.
- I can sit in the corner

- at the bar.
- Towanda, you cannot go.

- But it depends on--
- No.

- Well, I'm gonna--
- Absolutely not.

Tamar, I'm trying
to do this, um...

healthy thing.

Uh-huh.

And the healthy thing
is just bindin' me.

I just feel binded, damn.

Traci, you are crazy.

And I feel like
I don't get a chance

to, like, talk to my sisters
one-on-one.

So while Traci's in town
for the Grammys,

I asked her to go out
for a drink

to catch up
since she's really been
stressed out

about little Kevin's
engagement.

So I really wanted
her to know

that she has
my 100% support.

What's going on
in the DMV area?

You know your
nephew is engaged.

- Still engaged.
- Yeah.

- Oh, Lord.
- I feel like
the monster-in-law.

You're disturbing
their groove, Traci?

- I do.
- Why?

They cook in the kitchen,
I go in the kitchen.

- They watch a movie,
I go and watch the movie.
- Uh-huh.

You're turning
into Evelyn.

Kinda sorta, I did.

Tamar, the way they look
at each other.

It's real like this.

The way they interact
with each other,

it's like-- almost like
tearing my child

away from me.

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

I am not trying to break up
Kevin, Jr. and Olivia.

But I do want
them to call off
the engagement.

I'm trying
to prevent a wedding
here, people.

They are too young
to get married

and start having babies.

So we doing, what,
that Ma-- that-- what
is that-- that Moscow?

- Moscow Mule. You
ever have Moscow Mule?
- Really? No.

You know-- I--
Traci's a drinker.

- Undercover... drinker.
- What you mean?

- I drink a lot.
- You do?

You know I get up and drink
a breakfast vodka.

Breakfast vodka,
what is that?

Coming up on
"Braxton Family Values"...

What is wrong with Traci?
Something going on.

I am distracted
by how loopy Traci's acting.

How many drinks
have you have today?

Y'all not gonna
make me look like
an alcoholic.

I think there are some things
that we need to resolve.

If the Atlanta show
was what she is alluding to

and she really wants
to talk about it,

you know what?
Let's talk about it.

I'm just saying
you're calling me a liar.

- So are you calling
me a liar?
- I am.

If I'm--
then I'm calling
you one, too.

- Traci's a drinker.
I drink a lot.
- You do?

You know I get up and
drink breakfast vodka.

Breakfast vodka,
what is that?

Early in the morning,
I need something to pep me up.

- Traci.
- Boom.

EI mean, who don't,
I dhave a breakfast beer?ka.

Come on now,
when you have a hangover,
you gotta have a beer

to get rid
of your hangover.

I like to joke around,

but people shouldn't think I
have a serious problem with it.
That's stupid.

- Damn, and here I was,
getting ready to order--
- I know, it's so funny.

Order a Moscow Mule.
I feel bad.

- Uh-uh. I'm ordering one.
- Oh.

You'd done left
the breakfast part
of it alone, right?

Yeah.

Well, I sure hope
ain't nothing serious
going on with Traci

because, you know,
nobody just throw out

that they having
breakfast vodkas.

Like, I heard of
a breakfast burrito,

but not no damn
breakfast vodka, honey.

That sounds crazy.

- Hi.
- Hi.

Can we get two Mules...

Okay.

- Traci, it's good,
fried pickles is good.
- What, you pregnant?

You eating fried pickles.
Who does that?

Fried pickles is bomb.

When I was younger,
I would get them big--

you know, we used get to them
big fat little pickles

- and eat them like that.
- Trace don't-- don't--

- don't put that up
to your mouth like that.
- I don't do that anymore.

That was real Jenna Jameson,
but I'm gonna let that slide.

'Cause you my girl,
Traci Braxton.

Traci is a lot of fun

and I hope
we can hang out more.

And I definitely
wanna do the same
thing with Trina.

Especially because
we used to be really,
really close.

- Can I get you ladies
anything else?
- That's it.

Traci, will you taste
the fried pickle?

Nope, mm-mm,
"Not I," said the duck.

Traci, you've had worse
things in your mouth.

Crack.
I know I have.
But not that.

Taste it, Traci.

Child.

Bomb.

- That's amazing.
- Mm-mm.

I am looking forward
to getting together

with my sisters
in LA this week,

but tonight I'm on
my first date with Jason,

my contractor
at Bar-Chix Restaurant.

- Hey. How are you?
- Hi.

Oh, so I'm just gonna sit,
no greeting, nothing?

- How are you tonight?
- Hello.

Going on a date feels
a little weird

because my divorce
isn't final yet.

But Jason is such
a great guy.

So this could be
a really good distraction.

May I start you off
with a cocktail?

I think I'll have
a glass of Meiomi.

I'm fine, thank you.

Really?

Definitely.

- No, glass of champagne?
- No, I don't drink alcohol.

- I'm sorry.
- I don't drink alcohol.

Oh.
Like, at all?

No. Never.

Oh.

Like, in your life?

Never tasted it.

This is not gonna go well.

I can see that right now.

Ooh.

I don't get that.

Why you just gonna
smell your drink?

What if I just get
my water and be like...

Well, because
wines have a bouquet.

- And...
- What did you say, bouquet?

- A bouquet.
- I don't know what that is.

Now, if we're
talking about cars--

Not into cars.

See, I just
lost you, right?

- No.
- I know cars.

What, your
Mitsubishi Eclipse?

You got the wrong M, baby.

- What-- oh.
- Not Mitsubishi,
but Maserati.

Whatever.

He's so nice
at the bar.

I don't know why he's
acting like this.

I'm not sure if I find you
interesting or annoying.

- Really?
- I think you're gonna be
completely, like, unfun.

It's like toast.

I mean, toast have a lot
of different flavors

- depending on
what you put on it.
- Toast is dry.

I'm not being cocky,
I'm not being smart,

it's just my demeanor.

Well, what do you
want to know about me?

Just tell me a little bit
about yourself.

Beyond the singing
and the lights,
just who are you?

How do you know about
the singing and the lights?

I mean I didn't come up
from underneath a rock.

I'm from Alabama,
I'm not from...

you know,
the, Amazon.

What?

Was that a laugh
just now? Yay.

Okay, there could
actually be a sense
of humor

hiding underneath
all that cockiness.

Maybe there is hope
for this date yet.

So, what do you like?

I love my family.

Well, I come from
a large family myself.

- Really?
- One brother,
four sisters.

- What?! Me, too.
- Yeah.

This is the guy
I agreed to go out with.

This is the Jason I know.

This date actually
turned out to be pretty
good after all.

I am super-duper
nervous to tell my sisters
about my date

because I don't want them
to judge me

about jumping back into
the dating world too soon.

- I'm gonna go to my car.
- Not yet.

Ooh.

Whoop, don't do
too much.

Okay, bye.

- I'm excited. Are you
excited, Triny?
- I am, too.

- I don't know.
- Why?

Because it's different.

Trina and I just
got to LA to support Toni,

who is nominated
for another Grammy.

Yay!

Mmm, fancy shmancy.

We are meeting Toni

at this futuristic
weight loss clinic

where she is getting
a treatment done for
the Grammys

where you freeze
your fat or something.
I don't really know.

Whatcha you got?
You got something on?

- No, you have to be...
- No, nakie.

Bucket naked.

- Really?
- Oh.

I'm gonna wait
to tell my sisters about
my first date with Jason

because there's
so much going on with Toni
getting ready for the Grammys.

And I just don't
want to hear their opinions
on my love life.

I'm not ready to deal
with that now.

Can you tell my sisters
what this does?

Boosts your metabolism,
it tightens the skin.

It's also great
for weight loss because...

you burn between
500 and 800 calories.

Yes.

It's too bad Tamar
couldn't be here

because she had to work.
I understand.

She's gonna try
and join us later
when she can.

Although, she wouldn't drink
the juice with me,

so I can't imagine her
getting into one of these
freezing cold machines.

All right,
I'll go first.

- Okay.
- Me and Towanda?

- Yeah.
- All right.

So, uh,
come on over here.

First you're gonna go
into the chamber.

Go in the first room,
take off your robe,

and hang them up there.

One minute remaining.

Hi.

45 seconds remaining.

Five, fo, three,

two, one.

Ready?
Come on out.

- What was that?
- Wasn't that fun?

Like, really
Toni Braxton, really?

Did you really
do this before?

I don't think
you did this before.

I think you were
just trying me out
as a guinea pig.

Okay, Trina and Tracie.

We're going in together.

- This--
- Oh, my God.

Okay, it's even funnier
the second time.

Toni is not a team player.

It's like
a polar bear's coochie.

Yes, you did.

I've done it.
It's great.

I haven't really done
a chamber thing,

so I have to leave them
by themselves.

I mean,
I couldn't let them
know I never did it.

How do you feel?

I feel thinner.

I feel cold.

I have frost bite
on my hoo-ha.

'cause you couldn't
even have any drawers or
anything in there.

- And I will raise you up.
-Oooh.

I choose to go
into the chamber
with your faces out.

Because I like
how it makes my body feel.

I love that feeling,
and I didn't want to mess
up my makeup either.

- Toni looks like a kid.
- Look at your little self.

Over all,
we had a pretty fun day,

not to mention
I'm gonna look amazing
at the Grammys.

You know,
I just really love
hanging out with my sisters.

I wish Tamar
could have been there.

It would have been
the icing on the cake.

- It was fun.
- Yeah, after the shock of it.

It will be great
in my Grammys dress.
That I don't have yet.

Come on, let's go.
Thank you so much.

-Thank you.
- Thank you so much.

Coming up
on "Braxton Family
Values"...

- I went on a date.
-With whom?

- A man.
- Oh, my God!

- I haven't done anything.
- That's how you feel?

That is a fact.

- Hey.
- Hey, hey.

I never been
in this restaurant.

Is the food yummy
because I'm so hungry.

- Are you--
- I don't know.

You look like you're
in a good mood.

I'm actually
in a great mood today.

Before lunch,
Jason called me

and we had a
really nice talk.

And now I can't stop
thinking about him.

So maybe I'll tell
my sisters about the date

because it's hard to hide
the big grin on my face.

Okay, you guys remember
my birthday party?

Yes.

Do you remember
the guy I came with?

The guy in the armor?

We went on a date.

I think he was
super nervous because...

he turned
into this, like...

yuck ball, kind of,
because he wasn't--

- You sure it wasn't you?
- What's a yuck ball?

- It was not me.
- I don't know what
a yuck ball is.

Trina does have a history
of falling really fast before
she gets to know a person.

And then she's attached,
and then she finds out

they're not the person
she thought they was.

So I am cautious for her
because she's in a vulnerable
state.

It was really awkward
at first and then
it mellowed out.

He kind of
gets under my skin.

- But yet I like it.
- It's a challenge.

Or something.

You know what I mean?

Okay, the happy talk
is bothering me.

There are red flags
all over the place because

I want her to tread
lightly.

And I know Trina's
sensitive to criticism.

I don't have any criticism.

I just want her to go
a little, teensy bit slower.

What do y'all talk about?

We talk about the bar a lot.

Why?

He is doing
the construction on the bar.

She dating an employee?

And he's black.

I knew something was up

when I saw the two of them
talking construction

in the Bar-Chix
Restaurant.

I knew it,
knew it, knew it.

I was hoping Jase
was gonna be able
to come with us

- and be available.
- Who's Jase?

Jase, this is Jase.
Towanda, I've said--

Oh, she gave you a nickname.

Of course.

You got yourself
a little brownie you're
flirting with.

Did y'all?

-I don't think so.
- Like do the booty?

No, it's not
booty time yet.

No, I didn't touch it.

So, Trina,
when are you guys going
on your second date?

I am not in a hurry

- to go on date number two.
-Why not?

Because I am still digesting
date number one.

I'm trying to focus
on what Trina's saying,

but I am distracted by
how loopy Traci's acting.

- Traci, where you going?
To the restroom?
- I gotta pee.

Okay.
You're excused.

What the hell?

What is wrong
with Traci?

I don't know,
what's going on.

That feels
suspect right there.

Something's going on.

We've all made the mistake

of having one too many
cocktails,

so I don't know if
we should judge just yet.

- If I ask her,
will she tell me?
- I don't know.

Traci clearly has had
one too many drinks,

but nobody else
wants to say anything.

How many drinks
have you had today?

How many have you had?

Just one.

- One plus one plus--
- You all are not gonna

make me look like
I'm an alcoholic.

My sisters think
that I've been drinking

more than normal,
but I am not an alcoholic.

Nobody have time for that.
I got a career here.

Who wants to do that?

You're definitely
not an alcoholic,

but when you drink,
you can't really hold
your liquor.

Traci clearly isn't
in any shape to discuss
this right now.

This is the first time
I've seen her act like this.

So for now,
I'm just gonna let it go.

It's just a little
concerning for me.

- Hi. How are you?
Jane Berg. Nice to meet you.
- Nice to meet you.

- Hi. Traci.
- Hi. Jane Berg. Nice
to meet you, Traci.

Today is day two

of Toni Braxton's
Grammy prep with the sisters.

So we're gonna
pick out some jewelry
for Toni's Grammys.

Everything's
stuck in transit.

Toni, it's, like,
two days before.
What you talkin' about?

I know this, I'm stressed.
Can we-- can you help me
calm down?

Can we focus?

The Grammys
are two days away

and my dress
still isn't here.

I'm trying
not to stress,

but now I'm picking out
my jewelry

without seeing
what I'm wearing.

And I got some great
pieces to look at.

Even if I'm naked,
I can still look great.

What about this
and this?

- You all like these ones?
-No.

- You have to choose
between your dress...
- And your jewelry.

Eh?

- Same time--
-Knock on wood.

Here's Trina,
giving fashion points.

- I am, actually.
- How 'bout this one?

-Wait a minute, Toni.
-No.

I know it's about
you right now,

but something is
going on with Trina,
something different.

Like she's giving
fashion points? She--

cooking and fashion
points is not your
strongest suit.

- I can cook. I can cook.
- No. You cook from a box.

No your baby mama
cooks from a box.

The black is kind of hot.

- Not with this charm.
- Black is--

Black is definitely
in right now.

What about
a black on black?

- Yes, sir.
- Something going-- what's--

Towanda, what's
happening with Trina?

I went on a date.

With whom?

- Guys?
- A man.

Something black.

And I just heard
Trina is actually dating
a black man.

It does seem like
everyone else knows
about this before me.

I can kind of tell,
but that's okay.

I'm gonna let that slide
because I'm in total
shock right now.

- Does he got
any children, like?
- He does have children.

- He used to be married.
- He's divor--

- He's divorced.
- Things in common.

Hold on, hold on.
Trina, I gotta ask how.

- His mother and father.
- Are both black.

From where?

- He's from Alabama.
- Zamunda.

From Alabama?
That kind of black?

Oh, my God, girl!

- He's a nice guy.
- They're not even from
Connecticut kind of black?

You know, Connecticut,
is a different type
of black, different.

Hello.
We're suppose to
concentrating on Toni

- and her jewelry
for the Grammys.
-Okay, okay.

Whatever makes
you feel lucky,
I say wear.

Trina,
what has this man
done to you?

Oh, my God, Trina.

Trina really don't
talk to me much about
her divorce,

and now I'm the last
to hear about her new man.

And the more I think
about it,

the more sad
I am that Trina and I

aren't close
like we used to be,

'cause I really,
really miss my sister.

And, really,
it's starting to bother me.

I want us to sit
down and try and reconnect.

As soon as possible.

- I love that.
- I think what you picked
is perfect.

- Are we done?
- We're done.
We're done with it.

-Yay!
- Now look at God.

Thank you for
not helping, Tamar.

Yeah, yeah,
you're Toni Braxton.
You got this, girl.

Toni.

- I know she told you.
- Told me what? Told me what?

Trina likes
sexual chocolate.

Like, is he mixed?

- I mean, that's still--
- I asked her that, Toni.
See, I'm not going crazy.

No, they from Alabama.
They real black people.

Not Colorado
black people.

Not, you know,
Boston black people.

- They are Alabama.
- He's from Alabama,
for real?

- Does he have an accent?
- Like forty acres and
a mule.

I got to go.
This is too much
information for me.

Girl, ah.

Won't he do it?

Thank you so much.

While I'm in town
for the Grammys,

Tamar said she
wanted to talk.

And we haven't
had any one-on-one time
for a long time.

And I wonder what
this is about.

- Hi, Ms. Trinnie.
- Hey, hey.

- You look cute.
- So what you drinking?

I haven't tasted it yet.

Getting together
with Trina feels way
long overdue.

And I felt
for a while now

that I have no idea
what's going on with her.

And I really
honestly can't stand

having this
distance between us.

I just really wanna
be close again

and I hope
she wants that, too.

So what's going on
in your world?

- Of course you know
about Bar-Chix.
- Yeah.

Excited about that.

It's going
a little slower
than normal.

Whatcha mean?

Because of my
divorce with Gabe.

He's trying
to take half.

This whole process
has just been...

tumultuous.

So who you been talking to?

Throughout this whole deal,
who's been your confidante?

Well, I haven't been really
saying much to anybody.

I've just kinda
been taking it on

and internalizing
it for myself.

You and Towanda
have been spending
a lot of time together.

We have.

So what about
you and the other girls?

How's that going?

I haven't really
talked to anybody.

I talk to Toni every day.
I mean, she comes over
every day.

I'm not really
in the loop.

I think there's some things
that we need to resolve.

I really don't.

To be honest.

I have nothing
to say about it.

- Really?
- Yes, very much, really.

Because I haven't
done anything.

I don't know
if this is a conversation
that we need to be having.

- It is.
- I don't think
anyone is ready

- to be honest
and face the truth.
- I am.

I feel like there's still
an elephant in the room,

and if the Atlanta show
was what she's alluding to,
you know what?

Let's talk about it.

Coming up on
"Braxton Family Values"...

Why are you pacing?

My dress is not here yet.
Ashlee had to go pick it up.

This could be a disaster.

Oh, don't tell me
what time it is.

Don't even tell me.

A

A happier

A happier mom

A happier mom
is

A happier mom
is a

A happier mom
is a happier

A happier mom
is a happier household.

A Do you know what I mean?
isOur house was full of

- pessimism.
- What's pessimism?
I don't know that word.

Someone always saying
that something is wrong.

You understand
what I'm saying?

Can you use pessimism
in a sentence?

'Cause I just
kinda wanna fully--

- I just-- I just said it.
- Pessimism.

The boy was very pess-- no.
That doesn't go.

- No. Pessimist.
- He looked at the girl

- in a pessimism way.
- No.

- No. No.
- Can you use it
in a sentence?

Our house was
full of pessimism.

- That doesn't explain it.
- The negativity.

- And negativity.
- But if that means

- negativity and negativity.
- Okay. Okay.

Okay, pessimism is
the opposite of an optimist.

I just want you
to use it in a sentence

so I could fully
understand the word,

because I've never
really heard it before.

You using
these big old words.

I don't need a thesaurus,
I have Trina.

Well, it's true.

But I think there's
some things that we need
to resolve.

I really don't.

To be honest.

I have nothing
to say about it
because--

- Really?
- Yes, very much really.

Because I haven't
done anything.

- That's how you feel?
- That's how it is.

That is the truth,
that is a fact.

I'm not
apologizing for things
that didn't happen.

- So, what didn't happen?
- The things that were made up
in people's minds,

- I'm not apologizing for that.
- But what didn't happen?

I think
Tamar keeps trying to justify
her Atlanta concert where

we surprised her
onstage and she got
very upset.

The girls
and I have planned

a wonderful surprise
for Tamar.

And I'm like,
"What the hell is that?

What are we doing here?"

- She was mad.
- What she mad at us?

Yes?

Tamar's tour manager
looked me straight in the face

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

You put your family out.
You had your family put out.

Absolutely.
You absolutely did.

So apparently my sisters
just wanna believe a bunch
of dumb stuff

and lies about
my Atlanta show.

Like, I had somebody
throw them out of the venue

and I cussed them out.

And, you know,
at this point,

go ahead and believe
whatever you wanna believe.

I'm the bad guy,
you right, I'm wrong.

Okay.
I'm wrong, wrong, wrong.

Miss Wrong.

I never cussed
anybody out.

- That was not true.
- That's not true, Tamar.

Okay, so what did I say?
You were there.

- Yeah, I was there.
- Okay, so what did I say?

- Where? Where were you?
- I was there, Tamar--

- Tamar. Tamar--
- You was not in--

- Tamar, I was not
in the room.
- Oh, my God.

But I was in
an audible situation.

- So you're calling me a liar.
- So-- so, are you calling
me a liar?

- I am.
- If I'm-- then I'm
calling you one, too.

Because I'm not lying
about the situation.

People have ears.
It happened.

You heard from
Towanda's assistant

who attacked me
on Twitter and Instagram.

That's not true.
That's not true.

Well, what he told you
was not true.

- It's true.
- No. No, it's--

- We were put out.
Julio over there--
- That's not my fault.

- Julio. Excuse me, Julio.
- Was that my fault?

- Julio, were you there?
-Yes. Yes.

I told David to put--

- I told David to put
my sisters out?
- He said, "I'm sorry,

but I have to ask
you to leave."

And I said,
"Who, me?"

- He said, "Yes, I was"--
- Am I arguing that happened?

Wait-- wait a minute.
He said, "Yes.

I was asked
to tell you to leave."

Did that or did that
not happen?

- That's really convenient.
- Did I call them a bunch
of bitches?

- That's true.
- Let's go in.

- That's true, that's true.
- Let's go all the way in.

Because I'm not gonna
continue to let nobody

make me feel like or paint me
out to be a-- -- when I'm not.

It's definitely--
it's definitely true.

You know, it's just really sad
when you tell somebody

what really happens

and they still don't
wanna believe it.

And so I just
feel real sad.

Like, you
just wanna be mad?

You called us bitches
and Teletubbies.

- You heard for yourself?
- I heard some things for
myself.

Okay.

I'm owed an apology.

You should say,
"You know what, Tamar?

I shouldn't have jumped
on your stage."

- You gotta take responsibility
for it as well.
- I'm not, because...

- I do take responsibility.
I do take respon--
- No, you don't. No, you don't.

- Because-- because I said...
- No, you don't. No, you don't.

- I said, "This is
something thatamar..."
- No. No, you don't.

"...might not enjoy
and might not like.

- However, it might"--
- So, it's fault that
I didn't like it?

I'll wait until
you're finished.

I'll definitely wait.

- I'm an-- because--
- Because it--

- I'm an--, not a superstar
because I didn't like it.
- But it did not come from

- a space of maliciousness.
- Whatever.

- Don't talk at me, talk to me.
- I can't talk to you

because you don't respect
me enough to hear what
I have to say.

- I'm definitely listening.
- Just like now, you did not
hear what I had to say.

I heard you.
This is not why I showed up.

Let me tell you why.
Every single time we all
get together,

this is always going
to be the result.

Let me just explain
to you why.

Because we don't see
each other.

- We don't talk to each other.
- Why is that?

You cannot expect--
okay.

- Why is that?
- Because it's always Tamar
and it's never nobody else.

Nobody else does
anything else to Tamar,

and she just needs to go
ahead on and accept it

'cause she's
the sorriest mother--

- that ever walked this planet.
- Get off your cross.

- We're not gonna act like--
- I'm sorry, I'm sorry,
I'm sorry,

- I'm sorry,
I'm sorry, I'm sorry.
- We're not gonna act like

- they were unsavory things.
We're not gonna act like that.
- I'm sorry!

- We're not gonna do that.
- What else? Now what?

- Not gonna do it.
- Now what?

I cannot change Trina's mind

from what she
wants to believe

than from what really
happened.

I was just trying to move on
from it and she don't wanna
move on,

then that's her
being stuck.

I really don't care anymore.
I really don't care anymore.

Did I say I really don't care?
I really don't care anymore.

- But I love you.
- I love you, too, boo.

Tamar and I have a different
opinion of what took place.

But at the end of the day,
we're sisters and we love
each other,

and I think the only thing
that can fix our sistership

with Tamar
and everybody else,

is to just let
bygones be bygones

and keep it moving.

- Hey.
-Hey!

Hey.

- Hey, love.
- Hey, Tone.

How you doing?

The Grammy red carpet
starts in an hour

and I still
don't have my dress.

Even if my niece/assistant

Ashlee gets here
in the next few minutes,

I have no idea
if I'm gonna make it on time.

And this could be
a disaster.

- What? Why you wearing shades?
- And why you pacing?

I'm catching a headache.

- You're catching a headache?
- Because my dress
is not here yet.

- She had go to FedEx
to go get my dress.
- No.

Don't tell me
what time it is.
Don't even tell me.

Coming up on
"Braxton Family Values"...

I met with
Tamar yesterday.

- What happened?
- I got there

and then, next thing
you know, boom.

Catastrophe ensues.

Don't

Don't tell

Don't tell me

Don't tell me what

Don't tell me what time

Don't tell me what time it

Don't tell me what time it is.

Don't tell me what time it is.
Don't

Don't tell me what time it is.
Don't even

Don't tell me what time it is.
Don't even tell

Don't tell me what time it is.
Don't even tell me.
- Well, you look skinny.
-Yeah.

No one's gonna see
'cause I don't have a dress.

---!

Is that Ashlee?

- I got the dress.
- Hey, you got it. Okay.

- I gotta get dressed.
-Okay.

I need to make
the fastest wardrobe
change ever.

The category
I'm nominated for

is in the pretelecast
awards.

Any minute they'll start
hearing the red carpet
arrivals

and announcing
the pretelecast winners.

And I'd like to be there
before it's announced, so...

I'm more than nervous.
I'm stressing.

Why you making
that face?

I met
with Tamar yesterday.

- What happened?
- I got there

and we're talking
about accomplishments

and we're talking about,
you know, my divorce
with Gabe.

And we're talking
about the bar.

Wonderful,
positive things.

And then next thing
you know,

boom!

Catastrophe ensues.

I actually thought
Tamar was supposed to be
joining us

here at the hotel today
before the Grammys.

But I'm not
totally surprised
she's a no-show,

especially after
our disagreement yesterday.

You know,
she was saying that she
didn't call us bitches

and didn't throw us out.

She saying
that we're not taking
responsibility

for that fact
that it was her show,
blah blah blah blah.

That's not
the only issue.

Come on, come on.

You know what,
I am always hopeful

that maybe one day
we all can just get together

and, you know,
get past all of this mess.

'cause that's just what
it is right now, it's just mess.

But how did
you guys even start
the conversation?

Towanda, I promise
it's all a blur.

- Oh, you look beautiful.
- You look great.

I'm gonna
finish my makeup
in the car.

- I gotta go, I'll see
y'all there. Kisses.
-I love you!

Guys, I'm really
gonna be late.

In the car, there's
a robe in the car.

- I gotta go, okay?
-Bye.

Love you, love you!

Bye, Grammy girl.

I'm so late,
I need a miracle right now.

Ah, so excited.

That color looks
great on her, though.

Oh, that pop of purple
is nice for the shoes.

We are at the hotel,
watching the red carpet
coverage.

And there's a scroll
across the bottom of the screen

announcing the pretelecast
winners

and we see
Toni Braxton and Babyface

won the Grammy.

- Oh, my God! Oh, my God!
- Yeah!

Toni hasn't even made
it to the venue yet.

But we are
so excited for her.

I need to call
Toni Braxton's manager

because I know Toni doesn't
have her phone with her.

- I'm calling Mommy.
- I'm calling Pop-pop.

Oh, my God.

She won!
She won, Marcus!
She won.

We're in the car,
we're driving to the venue

and we look at the phone
and it says,

"R&B Grammy category--
Toni Braxton and Babyface."

- Oh, God.
- Right. Whoo-hoo!

- That's Tamar screaming.
- Oh, my God.

Holla, holla, holla,
holla, holla.

Even though
Tamar and I got into
a disagreement yesterday,

I had to call Tamar
to share Toni's wonderful
news with her.

It's sad that she's
not here with us.

Toni!

-Braxton!
- Yes.

She's a-- right now--
Grammy winner.

We'll see you when we get
back to the hotel.

- Okay. Okay, bye.
- Okay.

- Oh, she won.
- Yes. Scream and yell.

- Scream right out.
- I told everybody.

I told her.

Toni is going
to walk the red carpet
in her fabulous dress

and then come back
to the hotel to celebrate.

I'm going to call
everybody I know

and tell them,
Toni has won a Grammy.

- Okay, give her the face.
- That's Toni, Toni.

- Scary.
- Toni.

- Yes, Ms. Goddess,
you better work.
- It's looks so pretty.

- Flawless.
- Marc Bouwer.

Marc Bouwer, always.

Yay, Toni!

I did the leg clap.

Go and get the door.

- I knew it, Tone. I knew it.
- I'm so excited.

Guess who was
in the elevator?

- Who?
- Mommy.

Hey, Mommy.

In the elevator.

This Grammy
was important to me

because I was
contemplating retiring.

I wasn't gonna
do this anymore.

And it makes me feel
this was the path I was
supposed to take.

My friends who called
and support me,

Babyface, "Come on,
we can do it, we can do it."

It's a great moment.

- Oh, I'm so tired.
- Sit down.

Have a seat,
have a seat.

Watch out, let me sit.
Let me sit there.

- That was fun.
- All that hard work.

Fan her.
Fan her.

That was tense.

Oh, my God.

It was fun.
I had a good time.

I was excited,
we was excited.

- Thanks, guys.
- Oh, my God.

Where's Tamar?
