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 like I'm hurt ♪

♪ When I'm the one who said I didn't want... ♪

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.

♪ Did you know? ♪

♪ Didn't you know I... ♪

♪ I'm not thinkin' 'bout him ♪

♪ 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?
