Toni:
We're almost finishedon
with Bar Chix, amily Values"...

- and then I expanded it.
- How much money
did you pay?

$175,000 cash.

Am I supposed to fight?
Am I supposed to not fight?

What-- what am I
supposed to be doing?

Gabe told my attorney
that he is going to do
everything he can

to make this divorce
as difficult as possible.

Yeah, but you're
letting him win.

He's running your life.

That's all I was
trying to say.

He's an employee?!

And he's black?

How many drinks
have you had today?

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

And five, six, seven--

- And no!
- You can't put
your hands up.

When Toni sees Traci,
Toni is going to lose
her mind.

♪ 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." ♪

All right, Ton,
you got eight minutes
before we go onstage.

Okay.

I'm sittin' my ass down
a little bit.

Y'all look pretty.

-Gorgeous.
- Pretty damn crazy.

Toni's show's
about to start

and Towanda and I
are a bundle of nerves

because Traci's doing background
and had to fly in last-minute.

And she's slightly
actin' the fool.

Maybe we can play it off
as Traci just being funny.

Well, I hope we
can get this together.

-Thank you.
- All right, thanks, Dean.

I'm about to step onstage
for the Jazz in the Gardens
music festival.

It's a two-day concert series
with major artists

and an audience
of 70,000 people.

Now the pressure's on
and I know there're gonna
be high expectations

for my show tonight
after the Grammy win,

so, you know,
I have to make a splash.

Toni Braxton!

Traci and Ashlee are joining us
just for the first song,

"He Wasn't Man Enough."

But Toni wanted them
to come onstage

a few bars into the song

so we weren't all
getting onto the stage
at the same time.

Yes!
What's up Louisville?

Y'all ready to have
a good time?

Let's do a show.
♪ Oh ♪

♪ Who do you think I am? ♪

♪ Don't you know
that he was my man? ♪

♪ But I chose to let him go ♪

♪ So why do you act like
I still care about him? ♪

♪ Lookin' at me

Okay, Traci,
you are on the wrong side
of the stage, sugar.

Go on the other side.
You not supposed to be comin'
on the same side as Ashlee.

♪ Didn't you know I... ♪

♪ I'm not thinkin'

♪ But you married him,
yeah, yeah ♪

♪ Do you know
I made him leave? ♪

That was crazy.

I can't believe Toni
didn't notice Traci

runnin' across
the back of her stage.

♪ He wasn't
man enough for me ♪

♪ Oh ♪

♪ So many reasons
why our love is through ♪

♪ Yeah ♪

♪ What makes you think that
he'll be good to you? ♪

♪ It makes no sense... ♪

Traci's a half step
behind everyone else.

I just hope Toni
and, more importantly,
the audience doesn't notice.

♪ He wasn't
man enough for me ♪

♪ Baby, did you know
about us back then? ♪

♪ Do you know I dumped
your husband, girlfriend? ♪

♪ Yeah, he wasn't
man enough for me ♪

♪ Whoo! ♪

Well, guys,
I'm so rude.

These are my sisters.

This is Trina...

Towanda...

Where's Tr-- did you guys
see Traci dancing earlier?

Where's Traci?
Traci?

Where's Traci?

There's Traci.
She's here, too.

What?

What?

Traci has an album out
called "Crash & Burn."

Y'all heard it?

Traci came onstage.
She was completely crazy.

I don't know
what's going on.

Something's not right.

I flew all the way
down to Miami

to be onstage for just
three measly minutes.

I missed an event
in Maryland

where I was
being honored--

can we discuss--
and I'm here.

So, I mean, I'm trying
to make the most of this.

I love you guys so much!

Okay, I look--

I feel as though
I always sacrifice myself
for my sisters

and I never
get the return back.

I did many of my shows
by myself.

My sisters, they ain't
never showed up.

Come on, now.

Traci was a little wild
onstage.

I need to talk to Traci
to find out

what's going on
after this trip.

Time to go.

- Hi there,
I'm Tom Campbell.
-Hello, hi.

- So nice to--
- Hi, darling.

I really hope Toni's concert
went well in Miami

and I just hope the girls
had a great time,

but I honestly
am a little glad to be
focusing on my work again.

So you ready
to play the Snatch Game?

Yes.

Child, I couldn't
be more honored

that "RuPaul's Drag Race"
asked me to be a judge,

especially for
one of the segments

that we're shooting today
called the Snatch Game.

The judges are supposed to come
up with a clever answer

to some questions
and the contestants,

they have to try
to guess our responses.

You realize you're the only
person to play Snatch Game

as a celebrity guest
who is also portrayed as

- on the panel.
- Really?

- Did you see that here?
- Well, it always has
to be a-- I sure did.

- Roxxxy Andrews.
- Yes, Roxxxy did a good job.

It's such a compliment
to be impersonated, honey.

Get your life.

I know it's hard to replicate
all of this,

but Miss Roxxxy Andrews
was on fleek.

She did that.

- There's gonna be
four questions.
- Okay.

We have them here,
which you can take
a look at

- and think of your own
answers kind of thing.
- Okay.

Just see the first one.
Mm-mm-mm.

So you can look at those
and think about them.

Okay, I can't lie.
I'm a bit nervous.

- Don't worry about it.
- 'Cause I'm so excited.
I'm like "nerv-cited."

I just don't
be plannin' to be funny.

Like, you just say stuff
that means something to you
at the time,

so I ain't here
to write no jokes.
I'm not a comic.

I gotta get out
my feelings first,

- but then after that
I'm gonna be great.
- All right, great.

The queens all, like,
screamed and squealed

when they found out
you were gonna be here.

- Yes.
- It's gonna be great.

Now I feel like
I'm in the actual competition

with these tricky questions.

Like, I gotta think of something
real clever right now.

"Rumor has it they're
making a gay version
of 'Batman and Robin.'

In the movie,
the dynamic duo convert
the bat cave into..."

A boudoir, honey.

I'm stressed
to capacity right now.

Do I look like I'm about
to be the tour guide?

-Yes.
- I'm not having a one
mosquito bite me.

Not a one mosquito.

Right this way, ladies.

Don't worry, nothing's
gonna bite ya.

-Okay.
- Promise.

I can rarely
get my sisters

to do anything
that's adventurous.

So after our crazy night
last night,

everyone's defenses are down
because they all agreed

to go on this Everglades
alligator tour.

How are y'all
doing today?

-Great.
- Good.

Now I've only been
driving airboats my whole life.

My grandfather
brought me out here
the morning I turned six,

he forced me
to get in that water.

I'm not exaggerating this.

He made me
put my face this close

to my first six-foot alligator
in that water right there.

So if you wonder
why Captain Rick
isn't right up here,

it's not my fault,
I was raised in a
dysfunctional family.

We all know
what that's like, right?

Captain Kangaroo Rick
made me so nervous.

Had he been drinkin'
before he got up on that thing?

I love those shoes.
Sparkliest shoes
I've seen all day.

He had a lot to drink.

And I wish he would have
passed the flask around.

Keep your hands
in this boat.

- Don't worry about that.
- Don't go pointing
and stuff like that,

regardless
of what I do.

Gators can jump--
six-footers--

high enough
to get their heads above
this roof and grab a bird.

So who cares about putting
your hands in the water

if they can jump
in here and eat us?!

Right?

It's not gonna
work for me.

Yes, it is.
Girl, you all right.

Over here.
The male is Bumper.

- Eight foot of him.
- Do you see that?

Now if his head's--
if you don't see his back...

- Right there.
- ...he's not in a good mood.

When their back's low,
they're telling you one thing--

back off.
I'm not playing.

Why are we here?

I don't know why we're here
with Crocodile Dundee!

This alligator tour
is ridiculous.

Tamar is so lucky
she's not here.

So when you're working
with the girls--

and these girls are the best
of the best of the girls,

so you better
bring everything

or they will read you
for pure filth, honey,

and, uh-uh,
they ain't readin' me.
This is serious.

RuPaul:
Welcome to Snatch Game.

All right,
first question

is for the beautiful
Tamar Braxton.

So the Snatch Game starts

and I'm surrounded
by all these fabulous girls

who look gorgeous
and is "hilarical,"
by the way.

But I still don't know
what I'm gonna say yet, like,

I'm just gonna
calm down, be myself,
and have me some fun.

RuPaul:
Quentin Tarantino is remaking
"The Wizard of Oz."

In this new version,
Dorothy blanks the Tin Man.

All right, Tamar.

Well, she kills
the Tin Man, okay?
Good-bye.

Well, you know what?
In my family,

we like to do it
the old-fashioned way.

Ya gut 'em like a fish.

- That's a match!
- Yes! Ding-ding-ding!

Ding-ding-ding-ding!
She got a match!

I mean,
this is so fun

and not nearly as stressful

as I thought
it was gonna be,

but later on today
we have to eliminate

one of these
fabulous girls

and I'm not looking forward
to that at all.

Time is up.

It was so much fun.
The greatest ever.

Captain Rick:
Ladies, this is more
your size.

This is
the mighty Ginormous.

I don't see it.
I--I don't see it.

He's right
in front of us.

What do you mean
right in front of us?

Okay, right there.

Oh, hell no.

Like riding
alongside of us.

- So? They have
to live, too.
- Oh, my gosh.

Okay.

Uh-uh, okay.

- Uh-uh
- Okay.

Okay, he's swimming away.
He's swimming away.
He's swimming away.

He's swimming.

He's hanging--
he's trying to hang with us.

Well, that's because
he likes us.

I will never get another
alligator or crocodile
purse in my life.

- Yes, you will.
- No, I won't.
I will never.

Captain Rick:
All right, you guys ready
for some speed runs?

Sure!

- You guys are okay?
-Yeah!

Captain Rick:
Nothing to be afraid of
out here, trust me.

Are we-- are we
going in it?

We're going in it?
We're going in it?

Oh! No!

Coming up on
"Braxton Family Values"...

I'm gonna go to Maryland
and help you get your
kitchen together.

Don't believe her.

She said she was
coming to the bar,
she didn't.

Trini's being a little snappy
about her feelings tonight.

She said she was gonna
help me decorate the bar,
she didn't.

Traci, she's been, like,
maybe drinking her feelings.

Traci never mentioned
to you having a cocktail
for breakfast?

We drove her to drink.

Are

Are we--

Are we--
are

Are we--
are we

Are we--
are we going

Are we--
are we going in

Are we--
are we going in it?

Are we--
are we going in it?
We're

Are we--
are we going in it?
We're going

Are we--
are we going in it?
We're going in

Are we--
are we going in it?
We're going in it?

Are we--
are we going in it?
We're going in it?

Come on!

Ew! No!

You wanted to sit
in the middle?

Y'all wanted
to sit over there!

-In my mouth.
- You wanted me
to get in first!

- In my mouth.
- Well, it's refreshing.

It's just water,
it cleanses.

No, it's not just water.

Alligator water
cleanses your spirit.

It's alligator piss.

I hear everybody
complainin',

but we are all out here
doing something fun together.

At least no one's getting
into a fight.

I consider this a success.

Hmm.

And we're here.
Okay, I feel better.
We're here.

- Ugh.
- Whoo.

All right.

Thank God the ride is over
and we're all still alive.

Towanda is never allowed
to be in charge

of anything else again.

Now the time has come
to wash the swamp water
out of my hair

so we can get back
to a normal, civilized dinner.

- Well, that was fun, huh?
-Thank you, Ashlee.
Thank you.

So it's, like, time
for the elimination round

of "RuPaul's Drag Race."

All the contestants,
in my opinion,

are really talented,

so it's gonna be
real hard for me

to give them any criticism

because I just want to be
encouraging to them all.

You know, I think
you're doing a fabulous job.

I mean, you fit right in
with my girls.

- You do? You think so?
- Yes.

I mean, really?
Working with RuPaul
is so fun.

Like, he puts things
into perspective

and keeps
it 100%,

and I'm definitely
here for that.

I mean, you grew up
with all these sisters.

- Do you have any brothers?
- I have one brother.

I grew up the only boy
in a house with all girls.

Tell me,
what is that like?

Because I'm a woman
who has been raised around
a whole bunch of women,

so how is that,
being raised

with a whole bunch of women,
being a guy?

Well, you know what?
You know that when a woman
asks you for advice,

that she really just
wants to hear the problem
in the room.

- Right.
- She really doesn't want
you to name a solution.

- Yeah.
- So you have to be able
to keep quiet.

She don't want you
to tell her what to do.

Okay, I missed that mark.
I missed the "keep quiet"

and "telling people
what to do."

Now, RuPaul preaches
the truth, okay?

Preach, RuPaul.
Pastor RuPaul.

Because last week
at the bowling alley

when I was trying to give
my advice to Trina,

she didn't
want to hear that.

You're allowing him
to succeed

at what he said
he wanted to do.

I feel like there's
a trap door somewhere--

No, that's not
a trap door.

What she's saying, Trina,
is do not allow Gabe

to come in
and snatch your dream.

- Okay.
- That's all I was
trying to say.

But I got my head
chopped off for saying it.

Isn't it
a little interesting

that my sisters can give
the same damn advice to Trina,

but whenever
I give Miss Trina
some advice,

it's taken like, you know,
it's World War II.

And now I'm feeling
a little shut down

because I don't want my advice
to come off as,

like, I'm being
a shade queen, okay?

This is gonna be tough.

Welcome, ladies.
Now it's time for
the judges' critiques,

starting
with Ginger Minj.

Today, like, you owned
being thick-ems.

You came out here, was like,
"This is me. Eat it."

RuPaul: Next up, Katya.

You really strutted
your stuff.

You were like Britney
at 45.

Thank God that my favorites
are up first.

Like, I have no problem
giving props

to the people who
definitely deliver, okay?

I'll be the first person
to say, "You did that."

Next up,
Jaidynn Diore Fierce.

Today, I'm still trying
to put it all together,
the look.

Somehow it just
falls flat.

As hard as it is
to give negative feedback,

like, I just gotta
be honest.

But I cannot lie.

I'm glad
that the pressure

of being a judge
right now is over.

And hopefully my feedback
will help them

become better
at what they do.

You enjoyed it?

Looks like you
could be a drag queen,
if you wanted to.

What?

Oh.

You sure do.

- Why are y'all late?
- Girl.

We got turned around
on the turnpike.

It's our last night
in Miami before we all
fly out to Atlanta

and I deserve a nice,
fancy dinner.

Did you order
for the table already?

I ordered a few things,
you know?

I'm a little heebie-jeebie
'cause of the alligators.

How can you be heebie-jeebie?

It was like Disneyland
but on steroids.

Why can't we get a manicure
and a pedicure next time?

We do that
all the time, though.

I wanted to do something
different

that we've never
done before.

We've never
done that before.

The whole kit and caboodle?

Don't believe her.

"Don't believe her."

- What?
- "Don't believe her"?

She said she was coming
to the bar, she didn't.

She said she was
gonna help me

decorate the bar,
she didn't.

-It ain't over yet.
- I'm not done.

Okay, I did say I was
gonna come help you
with the bar,

but I'm going to come
help you with the bar.

It's not over till
the fat lady sings.

It's almost, though.

Trina's being a little snappy
about her feelings tonight.

I mean, she's right.
She should be upset with me.

I reneged and said
I was gonna be there.

But I think she's probably
stressing out about her divorce,

even though I know
she's been trying

to avoid this subject

the whole time we've
been here in Miami,

I know she's
thinking about it.

There something else happening
you're not telling us?

You promised
you would tell us.

Didn't Trina say
she would talk to us?

Can you talk to us?
We're your sisters.

I don't like talking
to you guys, though,

because sometimes I think
there's a lot of insensitivity.

I'm just telling you
we went bowling the other day--

- What are you doing?
- Towanda, can you talk
about the bowling story?

We weren't supposed
to be talking about
the divorce or Gabe.

We were just supposed
to be having fun.

And I think that Tamar
just started asking
questions to Trina--

But it was kinda--
this is how--

this is my interpretation--

it was like--
almost conceding
the point to Gabe.

At the time,
it just felt like

a really insensitive moment

to even kind of
have that conversation.

But you should tell Tamar,
"Tamar, that hurt my feelings."

Well, in the middle
of the conversation,
Trina left.

I got teary and went
into the restroom.

To get herself together.
And then when we went
to get Trina,

that's when she left.

We can't keep walking out.
I mean, we're past that point.

Well, that's just--
why would you do things
like that?

Tamar and Trina are still
extremely sensitive
with each other.

All the girls need
to somehow work things out

or the growing drama
is always gonna resurface

every time we try
to get together as a family.

We need help.

We can't keep going
on like this.

But as you know, Toni,
I used to be able
to talk to Tamar.

- Yeah, y'all were like
peas and carrots.
-Yeah.

We can't have conversations
with her without it feeling
like we're attacking her.

I could see that Tamar
got extremely defensive

when Trina brought up
the situation with
social media.

Let's talk
about social media.

You let people get to you
to a point where you go
back and forth--

- no, wait, wait.
- No, I don't.

You let them get
to the marrow of your bone.

- You don't know
what they look like--
- Not-- not like that.

Tamar usually has some beef
with somebody on social media,

and it sometimes
gets really ugly,

so I'm not sure
why Tamar is telling Trina

to let things go.

But we have to do a toast

to love, marriage,
and divorce.

Clank-clank-clank-
clank-clank-clank.

And love again.

Clank-clank-clank-
clank-clank-clank.

- Those are cute.
- Mm-hmm.

We're together in Atlanta
this week for an event

benefiting the United
Negro College Fund.

Tamar and I are taking
Mommy shopping

because she loves it,

but I'm glad
that we can all get together

to talk about what's been
going on with Traci.

Oh, that's kinda cute.

Now this is--
this is a nice date dress.

How much
is this little number?

I'm not gonna tell you.

2,800?

$2,000.

See? Uh-uh.
Not to wear one time.

Have you talked
to Traci?

Um, not really.

She's been stressed
so she's been, like,

maybe drinking
her feelings a little bit.

Coming up on
"Braxton Family Values"...

What's going on, though?

'Cause I see you wearin'--
I see the wall.

Where's the trust?
I mean--

She won't have nothing
that refers to people of color.

Trin, you bein' racist.

My bar.
End of discussion.

Have

Have you

Have you talked

Have you talked to

Have you talked to Traci?

Have you talked to Traci?
Um, not really.

She's been stressed
so she's been, like,

maybe drinking her feelings
a little bit.

Just a little bit.

Toni, Traci never mentioned
to you having a cocktail
for breakfast?

I think that's 'cause
she's been stressed.

- Well, like, she's been
talking about...
- I've just never seen that.

...having a morning vodka,
which I've never heard of.

Now, I can't
even lie about it,

but I've been concerned
about Traci

for a little while now.

I'm just gonna do
what Uncle RuPaul told me to do.

I'm gonna be
a listening ear.

I think she's feeling
a little down about
Little Kevin.

She's just upset
because she don't want him
to get married so young.

I understand
how she feels.

What happened when
everybody came to you

talking about they wanted
to get married early?

- Ooh.
- We drove her to drink.

I mean, I didn't want you guys
to get married too young.

I wanted you
to experience something,

get your career
together.

It's almost
like your life is over.

Don't misunderstand
where I'm coming from.

I understand
what you're saying.

It's just not good.

I know that Traci's
been under a lot of stress,

and I need to actually
sit down with Traci later today

because I'm starting
to become concerned.

Tomorrow I have the honor

of presenting
a college scholarship

to an autistic student
at a UNCF event.

They've raised more
than $3.6 billion

to help more than 400,000
students graduate from college.

It will also be
a big night

for me and Diezel,
my son,

who's been asked to present
onstage with me.

Hey, how are you?

- So good to see you.
- Good to see you.

This is Diezel.

- Hey, how you doin'?
- This is Jesse.

- Good to meet you.
Good to meet you.
- Denim.

- Hey, what's up, man?
How you doing?
- And my mom.

I've partnered
with Autism Speaks

to give a college student
with autism

a $10,000
scholarship,

which is named after Diezel,
who also has autism.

He's now 12 years old

and he amazes me every day
how far he's come

and the goal
that he wants to achieve.

He wants to be an actor.

We're here to announce
a special UNCF scholarship

for a student with a challenge
that we know a lot about.

Autism. I was diagnosed
with autism when I was
three years old.

Research shows that early
evidence-based intervention
services

can greatly improve
the quality of kids'
entire lives.

You know what
would improve the quality
of my life, Mom?

- A kiss.
- Oh.

Okay, "Air"-riana Grande.

- Mom, Ariana.
- What? What is it?

- It's Ariana Grande.
- My bad.

The first "recipitant--"

I can't talk,
I have a retainer.

"Recipent"--
I'll get it tomorrow.

You can't steal my line.

Diezel seems very relaxed,

but I'm secretly
freaking out inside

and I keep
messing up my lines

and I just want this
to be a total positive
experience for him.

- You was nervous,
I could tell.
- No.

Now you're not nervous,
now that it's over, right?

How about
kisses for me?

- Kisses from Mommy.
- From Ariana Grande.

Mom.

Sit over here, Tray.
Don't you like it
in front of the window?

- Oh, lovely.
- Ooh, the window.
It's so pretty.

- You look cute.
- Thank you.

- You lost more weight.
- I did.

After rehearsal,
I asked Traci

to meet me at my hotel
so we could just have
a little chat.

Traci's definitely not
being her normal self,

and I'm starting
to worry about her.

She sometimes
bottles things up inside,

and I'm hoping
that I will make her feel

comfortable enough
to talk about it.

You look good.

I've lost enough weight
and everything,

but I'm still sweatin'
like a slaughtered pig.

I think that's
probably your nerves.

- You think so?
- Yeah, I can tell.

I think you've just
been stressed about everything.

I can tell because I maybe
see you drink one drink.

I've seen you
drink three drinks.

I can admit,
I was really upset at her
concert and everything,

and was acting bizarre,
but I did not have any drinks.

I was pissed.
I was drunken with
angerness, okay?

Am I in your business
too much to tell me?

No, it's--

I can tell
you've been stressed.

Yeah.

I love my son so much.
He's growing up so fast.

In a blink of an eye,
he's engaged.

It's like my
whole soul and heart

just went to the pit
of my stomach.

I'm sure.

I'm sorry.

19 is young to be engaged,
I can't deny that.

It's not a very
realistic way to live.

Right.

What else
is going on, though?

'Cause I see you wearin'--
I see the wall.

- Uh-uh.
- Meanwhile, you're
acting all like...

I'm like, okay.

Something else
is going on.

It's more than
Little Kevin.

- What else?
- My career.

But it's doing well.

I know.
I'm by myself.

Oh, yeah.

And I've never been
by myself before.

Only thing you can do
is your best,

- not anyone else's
best, you know?
- Yeah, mm-hmm.

But I don't want
you to let stress
make you start drinking

- and you're not a drinker.
- Right.

So just be careful.

Sometimes stress
can make you do things

you wouldn't
ordinarily do.

You mess around,
you're, like, having a drink

every day, every day, every day,
three or four drinks a day,

then you find yourself
in another situation.

I know Toni means well,

but I think she's worrying
about the drinking thing
too much.

I mean, I don't want
to be paranoid

every time I order a drink
around my sisters.

Where's the trust?
I mean--

So, okay.

I did my best
to bring up our concerns

to Traci
about her drinking,

but I can still tell
she's very emotionally

cut off
and closed off.

It worries me because
I feel like our family

is always sweeping things
under the rug.

I'm not gonna keep
pushing her today,

but I'm not gonna be afraid
to ask the hard questions.

Maybe we should go downstairs
and just have some tea,

just me and you.

A hot toddy?

A hot toddy has bourbon
in it, doesn't it?

Yes, it does.

Okay, I'll have
some hot tea with
a lot of honey.

Okay, can you vacuum
all this dirt

'cause I don't
want it to be a mess

when my sisters come in.
You know how they get.

Since all of my sisters
are in Atlanta

for Toni's UNCF event,

they're finally
coming to visit Bar Chix.

This is the very first time
any of them have been here,

except for Towanda.

So I'm a little
teensy bit nervous,

but I hope they'll all
be super supportive.

- Welcome! Welcome! Welcome!
- Hi, Bar Chix!

-It's so nice!
- It looks very construction-y
around here.

Hey, Ray-Ray.
You okay?

- Mm-hmm.
- Tr-Tr-Trini--

The more I think about
my talk with Toni,

the more
I'm in my feelings.

I'm allowed to have
a few drinks.

I am a grown-ass
woman, doll.

Plus, it's really starting
to bother me

that we all come together
to support

what the other
sisters are doing,

but I never see
all my sisters come

and support
all the things that I do.

Wait a minute.
So you gonna have oxtails
and not fried chicken?

Yes, but it's different.
It's created differently.

It's nice because
this is country.

It's-- it's, you know,
Southern tappas.

Trin, you bein' racist.

Coming up on
"Braxton Family Values"...

Don't you work
for Jacent?

Yes, ma'am, I do.

I know my sisters
really want to meet Jacent,
my contractor,

but I'm definitely
not ready for that yet.

You're gonna have
to ask him all that.

- Hey, Trace!
- Hey! Hey! Hey!
I'm here!

How

How is

How is that

How is that racist?

Because why you not
having fried chicken?
How is that racist?

I'm so happy to finally
be seeing Bar Chix, like,

even though we
not kickin' it like that,

I'm still gonna support
my sister 100%.

And I am trying not
to give any more

of my wonderful,
good advice.

I can't hold my mute

when I don't see
no fried chicken on the menu.

You got garlic cheese,
toast from Italy.

Italian people
got their taste buds.

You Jamaican,
you got your taste buds
with oxtails.

Curry, you know,
for the curry people.

- Lamb.
- Who are the curry people?

I didn't wanna say.

You got everything
for everybody else

except for your own people.

We need
some fried chicken.

Do

Do you

Do you at

Do you at least

Do you at least have

Do you at least have
any

Do you at least have
any macaroni

Do you at least have
any macaroni and

Do you at least have
any macaroni and cheese?

- Do you at least have
any macaroni and cheese?
- I

- Do you at least have
any macaroni and cheese?
- I do

- Do you at least have
any macaroni and cheese?
- I do actually--

She don't have nothing
that refers to people
of color.
- Do you at least have
any macaroni and cheese?
- I do actually--

I actually do.
We have a truffle
macaroni and cheese.

- Okay.
- It's just not on this--

Trina, truffle
is not our version.

If Tamar wants to open up
her own tappas bar,

she can
have fried chicken.

The same thing
goes for Toni

and her little plain
macaroni and cheese.

Don't get me wrong,
I'm happy

that my sisters
are here,

but I did not ask
for their criticism.

Where are
the French fries?

There are no French fries.

- You really don't have--
I thought you were doing--
- There are no French fries.

- No French fries.
- Do fries with
Polynesian sauce.

There are no French fries!

Why?

Just give in.
You got the Timberlands,
you got the chocolate man.

Get you some chicken wings
and French fries.

What chocolate man
do I have?

Just let it go, girl.
Be "Frozen," let it go.

If someone uses the word
"French fry" one more time--

my menu,
my decision, my bar.

End of discussion.

Okay, when are we
gonna meet your beau?

He's not my beau,
he's my friend.

I know my sisters
really want to meet Jacent,
my contractor.

But I'm definitely
not ready for that yet.

We've gone on
a couple dates, yeah,

but that doesn't mean
we're a couple.

My divorce is still
an ongoing nightmare,

and I cannot think
about dating,

not seriously,
not right now.

Excuse me,
Mr. Worker,
sir? Sir?

- What's up? What's up?
- Don't you work for Jacent?

Yes, ma'am, I do.

How is it
working for him?

I like working for him.
He always pays on time.

- Can't complain.
- Is he bossy?

- No, he ain't bossy.
- Is he controlling?

No, can't say
he's controlling?

Are you nervous,
a little bit?

I'm asking
too many questions
about your friend.

Oh, no, we all good.
We all good.

I mean, he's a good
person to work with.

Even
though I am the only sister
who has met Jacent,

officially,
I still don't know
anything about him

besides he's Trina's
contractor,

so we know that Trina
believes in magic

and she falls in love
a little quicker than
the rest of us,

so I decided to do
a little research,

you know, while the other
sisters are here to hear it.

Just in case.

- Mm.
- What?

Maybe--

Not that I know of.

I don't know about that.
You gonna have to ask him
all of that.

-Towanda,
leave him alone.
-Towanda, come on!

- Can we get on the bar
and dance? Like...
- You mean do it right now?

Well, don't
hurt yourselves

'cause I don't
pay insurance right now.

Go ahead,
I'll help you up.

What, you wanna be
"Coyote Ugly"?

Ay! Oh! Ay! Oh!

Ooh, Toni!

I'm raining.
I'm making it rain.
I'm making it rain.

Some dollars.
Dollar! Dollar!
Dollar! Dollar!

Give me my money, Tamar.

Give me my money!

Give me my money!

Just give me my money!

How much money
I make for tonight?

Get down, let me help you.

Two, four, six, eight.

There's 220.
Towanda, woman,

you ain't in the streets,
are you?

Give-- yes, I'm hitting
these streets hard.

Give me my money
'cause you ain't get
on the board.

Towanda, this is, um--
this is your tithes.

Give me my money, Tamar!

Okay, I have to
finish my sub.

- I'll see y'all.
- Okay, girl.

Taught yourself
potty training.
Congratulations.

- Congratulations.
- You've been so good.
I'm so happy for you.

-Traci
already went outside.
- Has Traci left already?

I am not in the jokin' mood.

Tomorrow night,
I've got an appearance

to promote my album

and I'm just gonna
focus on that.

Not that anyone here
is interested.

Time to get back to work!

Tonight
is the big UNCF event.

The whole family is coming out
to support Diezel.

Yesterday,
when we visited Bar Chix,

we were having
so much fun,

so I'm really looking forward
to just drama-free tonight.

Toni Braxton
and Diezel Braxton!

...46.

Diezel's so excited,
he's been practicing all day,

and Toni is a nervous
wreck for him.

That's just how moms are.

I know what could improve
my quality of life.

A kiss.

The more I'm talking
to Diezel,

the more nervous
I'm getting for him.

I just need to relax.
Just relax.

Coming up on
"Braxton Family Values"...

Ladies and gentlemen,
Toni Braxton!

My sisters better be
in the audience because

I know that Diezel
will be looking for them.

Vince and I pull up
to the UNCF event.

I look over to my right
and, boom--

there goes my stalker.

All

All right,

All right, Ton,

All right, Ton,
they're

All right, Ton,
they're ready

All right, Ton,
they're ready for

All right, Ton,
they're ready for you.

- All right, Ton,
they're ready for you.
- They're

- All right, Ton,
they're ready for you.
- They're ready

- All right, Ton,
they're ready for you.
- They're ready in

- All right, Ton,
they're ready for you.
- They're ready in the

I always push the envelope
with fashion.

I tend to go
a little sexy,

but a nipple is showing,
so that's not a good thing.

And I have
my kid there,

so that's not
a good thing either,

so maybe I picked
the wrong dress tonight.

You're good.

- Can you see it right there?
- No, I can't see it.

- Not at all.
-Diezel, don't look.

So, Vince and I pull up
to the UNCF event.

I'm looking
all cute and stuff

and I look over to my right

and I see
Trina and Towanda,

and, boom,
there goes my stalker

with Towanda
and her family.

Now, who the hell
is gonna hang out

with their stalker?

Wouldn't you feel unsafe?

Why are you friends
with the person who stalks me

and gives stories
to the media

about your family?

She goes back to her hotel

'cause the last thing
I'm fittin' to do

was cause a scene
at Diezel's big, big night.

That ain't right.

Ladies and gentlemen,
Toni Braxton!

We're walking
towards our seat,

and I'm just hoping Diezel
remembers all his lines

and I don't do
anything to throw him off
or embarrass him.

My sisters better
be in the audience

because I know that Diezel
will be looking for them.

I was diagnosed with autism
at the age of three.

Yes, research shows
that early evidence-based
intervention services

can greatly improve
the quality of the kids'
entire lives.

Hey, Mom, you know what
else will improve the
quality of my life?

- What's that?
- A kiss.

Oh.

But from Ariana Grande.

Ladies and gentlemen,
the first "recipitent"--

recipient of the UNCF
Autism Speaks

and Toni and Diezel
Braxton scholarship,

Mr. Terence Brice!

So, boys-- Eric, Caleb.
Caleb, Eric, wherever
you want to sit.

- Mommy or Daddy?
- Diezel.

- ...on that table...
- Diezel? All right.

I'm gonna sit by Brookie.

We are here.
He did so good.

I was so nervous
the whole time.

- Hey, Ashalina.
Hey, Trini.
- Hi.

Were you nervous, Diezel?

- No.
- Not at all?

- No.
- I was.

- You were?
- The whole time I was
holding my breath.

Even talking I was like--
I don't even know
what I'm saying.

I said "resopetant,"

I didn't say
"recipitent"-- recipient.

- It was recipient.
- But you did a good job.

- Yeah, I was proud.
- Yeah.

As a mom,
you're always afraid

of your kids getting hurt,
physically or emotionally,

and it's natural
for us as moms to want
to protect them,

but tonight,
Diezel showed me

that he can handle
much more

than I ever imagined.

He really did
a wonderful job.

Traci!

Hi!
Congratulations!

I'm so upset
I missed you!

Yes, everybody,
I am here.

I just finished
my appearance

and I got here
as soon as I could, honey.

I'm still in my feelings
about being called out
for my drinking,

but I'm putting on
a happy face for the kids.

Especially for Diezel.

Oh, my God.
How y'all doing?

- Hey, Tray!
- Hey! Hey! I'm here!

Traci stormed out
of Bar Chix

and now
she's thrilled to see us.

Her mood swings
are an indication to me

that something's going on

and, whoa.

Hi, Eric. Oh, my God,
I haven't seen Eric--

Eric, you are--

gonna be 20.

- He's a man.
-He's a man.

So how many cocktails
did you have tonight?
