What's wrong, Trina?

Just this whole divorce mess. It's just a mess.

Gabe told my attorney that he's going to do everything he can

to make this divorce as difficult as possible?

I'm freaking out.

What-- what am I supposed to be doing?

You two have not taught them how to resolve conflict.

As long as you are holding vehemently to what you had in mind,

you will never see the value of what you have left.

I miss everything about our relationship.

- Do you believe her? - No, I don't.

Wow.

What I feel in the room is a shocking amount of hurt.

♪ On "Braxton Family Values." ♪

I wanna visit something that you and I talked about earlier.

You talked about a moment, I think, in Atlanta.

- I was on tour... - Mm-hmm.

...and had one of my biggest shows

and the one that I was so proud of in Atlanta.

And in the middle of the show

the girls decided they was gonna come on

and surprise me and do a number while I am performing.

It didn't go the way that they planned it.

- Mm-hmm. - And I got blamed for it.

Okay.

That has been a big wedge.

Let's visit that for a moment.

- It was Towanda's idea. - It was.

Tamar was making a statement that we never support her.

I wanted to show Tamar that we're supporting her.

It didn't go the way that we intended.

Before that happened,

I hadn't talked to Towanda or Traci for months.

So, how would they think--

the next time you see me or talk to me

will be on stage with me?

I don't understand how that's a good intent.

It wasn't malicious, Tamar,

'cause I was supposed to do it, too, but I had to work.

I had-- something else came up,

but it was gonna be all four us and Towanda came in

with this idea we should do something to show Tamar

that we're supporting her.

I didn't see no harm of it.

If you guys would have had-- given me the opportunity--

you surprise the fans, not the artist.

I would have had outfits,

we would have surprised the audience, and killed it.

They would have loved to see all of us in our hometown...

- So, wait, hold it right there. - ...and the fam together.

Since you were trying to do something wonderful,

it didn't work out right, she says,

"If I would have known it,

we could have choreographed it, surprised the fans,

and done something really amazing.

Why didn't you do that?

There was no malice involved. It was all about support.

And Trina said she didn't think it will be a good idea.

And that's true. However,

we went to Mommy and we said,

"Mommy, do you think this is a good idea or not?

Do you think this is something we should do?"

- Hey, guys, what you doin'? - We're gonna surprise Tamar.

- Oh, that's so sweet. - We're gonna hop on stage with her.

She would love that.

And Mommy said,

"I think that would be wonderful.

I think she would enjoy it."

The thing is this.

I don't think we can ever get past it

if we have to continually rehash it.

It seems like almost every other week,

the point has to be proven,

or the situation has to be cleared up.

Is there room in here to apologize?

I did. I apologized, like, four times to Trina.

That was not accepted.

We can only go about it in the past

what we've always done.

Sometimes Toni didn't even know

all of us was coming on stage.

- I've never experienced-- -It's a-- yes, you have.

I don't recall--

- I've never experienced that. -And surprised Toni.

We've done it with our old assistant.

- That's Toni. - And-- and she was happy.

- That's Toni. - We thought--

You guys did that with Toni,

- but guess what? Guess what? -But we thought--

- You have to understand and take my position, Traci. -But we thought--

- I don't want to cut you off. - But we thought,

by us supporting you like that...

That's not a support.

...would be a good thing.

- At first you said-- -Hold up. Hold on.

Hold off. Hold up. Hold up.

Now listen.

The reason you can never resolve anything

is that the whole issue gets lost

in who's gonna get to win.

And you're so busy trying to figure out who's wrong.

Everybody's wrong.

Now, she's not the fairy godmother here either.

I get that.

But if you're gonna throw everything on top of the problem,

you can never solve any problem because you can't isolate

any one thing at a time.

This "toxidity"...

is nauseating.

If you were my daughters, I would go ballistic.

They'd have to cut the cameras off.

This is a disgrace...

...to all the millions of people of color

who idolize you,

who wish their family could get out of the ghetto long enough

to get a shot like you got,

and to see you climb all the way up here

and talk to each other like this...

it hurts us in places beyond your family.

The-- you're-- you're spoiled!

You're flat-out spoiled!

I think the bishop is 110% correct.

We are spoiled. Some of us more than others.

I deal with people who have real problems.

People who are losing their limbs,

who need a kidney transplant.

And those families go through that with more dignity

than you can go through who stood on stage.

Do you know how unthankful you are?

How ungrateful you are?

To see you in these fancy shoes and these nice clothes

and act like this.

How can we teach our children to respect black women

if black women don't respect black women?

This has got to stop.

It isn't easy to hear that you're spoiled and a disgrace.

It feels like we all just got kicked in the gut.

And it's really hard to know how to react or what to say

because he was absolutely right.

You ought to be more grateful.

And until you learn how to be more grateful,

you can make all the money you want.

You don't have nothin'.

You are far too blessed to be this miserable.

I think you're better than this.

Father, I don't know what will happen when this is over,

but I pray, God, that you would do a workdown in these women

and this family, and that you would pull them together

by your power and teach them just the fundamentals

of love and respect for each other.

And if nothing else, God,

make them know while they're still together,

before they're gathered over a grave somewhere,

make them know what it is to be grateful.

In Jesus' name.

In Jesus' name.

- Amen. -Amen.

-Thank you, Jesus. - Oof!

Now overall, I definitely feel like Bishop Jakes

helped us to mend our sisterhood.

I mean, not even really our sisterhood,

our family as a whole back together.

I want you to come back to your roots.

God gave you a voice...

Sing.

Just sing something for me.

Just take me back home for a minute.

Um, you guys wanna sing the "Lord's Prayer"?

- Yeah, we can. - We can.

♪ Our Father ♪

♪ Which art in heaven ♪

♪ Hallowed will be ♪

♪ Thy name ♪

♪ Thy kingdom come ♪

♪ Thy will be done ♪

♪ On Earth ♪

♪ As it is ♪

♪ In heaven... ♪

I think it was really smart of Bishop Jakes to ask us all

to go back to our roots and sing.

Especially because when we get together

and we sing and we sing for real,

our sisterhood just seems to just automatically

mesh together again once we're together and singing.

♪ ...Father ♪

♪ A... ♪

♪ Men. ♪

Wow. That's amazing.

It's been a long time since we sang that one.

- Yes, the whole thing. - That's what families do.

We can laugh and love and lift each other up.

That's how we survive.

We can't stop doin' that.

I don't care who did what, you're still family.

I'm gonna tell you somethin'.

We're awfully embarrassed, but a good embarrassed.

Sometimes you got to get your face cracked

- and find it on the floor... -Right.

I'm still lookin' for my face.

Well, but you know what, Bishop Jakes?

It was great and refreshing to have someone to be honest enough

and to love us enough to tell us the truth.

- Good. Good. - So, thank you.

I love you, girls.

Yeah, yeah, that's what I'm talkin' about.

I want some huggin' up in here.

I think Bishop Jakes coming and giving us

a nice swift kick in the behind

was the best thing for our family,

especially with our parents.

I-- I came to see that a lot of our issues

are just spawned from our parents,

because they don't get along, and it's this love-hatred thing

that we were starting to display.

So I saw that for the first time.

So, for me, it was an eye-opening experience.

I think that a little piece of all of my sisters is gonna grow.

I think they're still gonna have their personalities.

But it's not going to be an overnight success,

I don't think.

I just think there's gonna be baby steps.

Coming up on "Braxton Family Values"...

How 'bout we start with some Grace?

Well, let's do it right then since he didn't do it.

I'm just a little skeptical

that all of our past issues have magically disappeared.

We're not goin' prayer for prayer.

Then stop complaining.

♪ Towanda's flat ♪

- No, I'm not! - Yes, you are. I swear.

- She takes the fun out of it. - Yeah, she is.

Tamar's really testing everybody's patience right now.

I started to give you the finger,

but we singin' a gospel song.

Hey, guys. Where's my seat?

In the middle.

Yummer. Ooh, champagne.

Champagne after all that church?

Yeah, this cleanses the soul.

- Jesus turned water into wine. - It's grapes.

So, how 'bout we start with some Grace?

Father, we thank you for another opportunity to come together

and ask your blessing to be upon the food

that we're about to receive.

May it serve as nourishment and strength for our body

for we pray in Jesus' name.

- Amen. -Amen.

Good God. You were whispering the prayer.

- I could barely... - I could hear him.

- You're right beside him. - Well, let's do it right then.

- Go ahead, Mom. - Since he didn't do it right.

We are not goin' prayer for prayer.

It's gon' be--

No!

Yesterday was emotionally exhausting,

but the good news is

it-- it ended on a positive note.

So, today we'll see how everyone's feeling

now that they've had some time

for Bishop Jakes' message to sink in,

and is there really gonna be room for real change?

I thought yesterday was good.

- Mm-hmm. - Yes.

I thought it was necessary and it was embarrassing.

Oh, my God! It was, like, embarrassing.

Like, scared straight, 'cept for Jesus straight.

That's why I like him.

He's blatantly honest.

I think it's really important

that we revert back to what he said during this session

so we can keep it in our remembrance and we can apply it

to our sisterhood on a daily basis.

We all need to take something and commit

of what we're going to do

to make things better.

All right, Traci, you go first.

Well, I commit of--

If I have any issues, address them right then and there.

- Yeah. - In a polite way,

not in a hostile, frustration tone.

- Yeah. -Here, here.

- Here, here. - Yeah.

I am going to commit to not being so emotionally suppressed.

- That's good. - Thank you, Trace.

Okay, "Ton T."

"Tone T." I am going to learn to take responsibility

for living my own life.

- Oh, that's good. - That is awesome.

Clank, clank, clank.

Yes!

That's that whole Whitney clap--

- Yeah! - Whitney gon' get you.

- Have a seat. - Mmm.

I commit to communication,

even if it's unsavory.

And I also dedicate myself

to knowing that it's from a good place,

and it's not "attackerization."

- Here here. - Let's hear what Tamar has to say.

I have to think about it.

Tamar,

you need to stop walking away.

You have to sit and talk through things.

I don't walk away.

Peace in the Middle East.

- I gotta go. - Don't walk away.

That's not cool.

I love you, boo. I can't do this.

Of course you can't.

You can't keep walking away.

Tamar, that's wack

that you're walking away, though.

When I feel that a situation

is getting ready to escalate

to a negative place, and I feel attacked,

Oh, yeah, I'm definitely gonna get up.

That's not leaving the situation,

that's the adult thing, and removing yourself--

-So, you're... - Especially when the situation is--

...confirming that you walk away.

Yeah, I walk away from negative situations.

Absolutely.

I don't think they're negative.

I don't walk away from situ-- I don't--

I think they're challenging situations that you choose, like,

"Well, I'm not gonna stick it out and see what happens."

I think it's always best to stay and try to work things out.

Otherwise, you'll never get closure

and you'll continue to harbor all these feelings indefinitely.

Well, I'm just glad we're just leaving the past in the past and moving forward.

Well, I'ma throw something on the table.

Since we're all together here in Florida,

I have arranged a surprise for you...

...to spend the day together...

...with all of us, how does that sound?

- Whoo-hoo. - Okay.

That could be good.

After spending all day together, yesterday,

I could really use a break.

It's a little bit bad timing

because I have a court date in a few days

for my divorce, and I should really be preparing for it,

but my family's important, too.

We all know that Mommy and Daddy has only spent

a few hours together over the past few years,

but I can't remember

the last time they spent an entire day together.

By the look on Mommy's face,

I don't think she likes the idea.

Well then, how do we dress, though?

Casual.

Okay, well, let me get myself together.

I don't know about y'all, I'm not, I-- the time--

I lost a little bit of little weight and everything.

Let me go get myself together.

- Little Orphan Annie there. - You go, girl.

Not that she has red hair.

Look cute.

- To the adventure. - To adventure!

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

-Welcome... - Uh-uh.

...to the Braxton family vacation!

- Naw! - Wait a minute!

Hey!

We riding in a Winnebago?

And I wanna invite all of y'all

to go to the amusement park.

What, really?

I am not surprised that it's an RV trip to an amusement park,

because that's what we used to do when we were younger.

I mean, every month in the Summertime,

my dad would take us somewhere,

and it was like a big family thing,

and it was very important to our family.

Give it to me. We ready to go?

Um, no!

I'm gonna go, Daddy.

You goin'? I got one, one!

- Oh, come on. - I got, two, two!

Well, if you got one, you got 'em all.

- Come on, everybody. - Five, six?

- Towanda wearin' a skirt-- -Come on, come on!

- Traci, you drive then! - You see, I'm not sure on Traci's driving.

Daddy driving is just as bad.

I don't know about that one. Y'all go ahead.

- I'll catch y'all-- - Get in here!

- Stop playing. Come on! - I don't wanna wear a dress!

If I go, you gotta go.

This is not Mommy's idea of a good time.

She doesn't like amusement parks,

and there's gonna be a long ride in the R.V,

and of course, Daddy's here.

But she's being a team player,

and coming along even though she doesn't look thrilled about it.

- Ew! Aw! - Everyone, take a seat.

This is disgusting!

We really went back in time.

We couldn't get, like, an upgraded version?

This is upgraded compared to when we were younger.

Well, y'all know me, you know. I had a coupon for this one.

- Oh, God! - That's nasty in here.

-Have a seat. -It is not nasty.

It smells a little mildew to me.

I really did not want to go,

but if it will heal my family,

I will do that.

Towanda, you gonna play spades with us?

- Okay. - Okay, y'all ready?

Breaker, breaker, 1-9.

- This is Captain Braxton... - Amen.

...on-- online.

When's the last time you drove one of these?

I think Eisenhower was president.

Oh.

Who lives like this?

T.D. Jakes said y'all was spoiled. Y'all spoiled!

Y'all grew up like this!

We didn't grow up with--

That's what's wrong with them, Daddy, they spoiled.

-That's right. - They don't appreciate nothing.

Well, come sit right back down here, then.

Everybody's sitting. You wanna sit with me?

Some people live in an RV We just takin' a trip.

This is amazing! I'm gonna do what T.D. Jakes told me to do!

I am grateful. Look at God!

Are we really gonna spend a whole day together?

- Are you excited, Tamar? - I'm very excited.

- Me too. - I mean, I feel like I'm, like, 12.

- I feel like I've never done this before. - ...this before!

I've never, never done this before as an adult.

No TV allowed, no radio allowed,

- because this is family time. - Time!

It's like old times.

My dad's driving, my mom's up front.

I mean, they're not speaking to each other,

but the point is, they're together,

and we're all hanging with them, so that's good.

This thing is far away!

It's an hour and 15 minutes away.

- No! - Yes, it's far.

How long have we been riding?

- Seems like an hour. - How long have we been riding?

- Are we starting to-- - Seems like--

- 20 minutes, 20 minutes. - Tell me you're playin'!

- Only 20 minutes? - That's all.

Coming up on "Braxton Family Values"...

- That's so un-fun. - What, me?

We spent two hours complaining and picking on each other.

Mommy and Daddy aren't even talking.

This family day could be a total fail.

Well, there she is.

Gabe keeps threatening to take half of my assets,

and thinking about it is really bringing me down.

I'm not even in the mood right now.

You have no idea.

You looking straight at my hand, you cheater.

You shouldn't have even done that.

Why did you look at my hand?

- 'Cause you were showing it to me. - That's supposed to be...

...what I wanna play!

Why don't y'all just sing?

No, thanks!

That's how y'all did it before.

All the way down the road.

-I'm getting on that. - Nope.

I want that.

I want that.

No!

I am so not surprised that Toni and Tamar

don't want to get on a tall ride.

'Cause they are fun-snatchers.

We spent two hours in an RV

with everybody complaining and picking on each other,

Mommy and Daddy aren't even talking,

and now nobody can agree to a ride?

This family day could be total fail.

Where's the white-water rafting?

You wanna get on that?

I don't wanna get my hair wet.

I'm not-- I'm not going with them anymore.

Like, never.

What, me?

That's so un-fun.

Okay, let's get on the white-water raft.

Yay, let's get on!

Everybody's so excited about the ride.

I don't want to be the one

to ruin the bonding experience,

so I'm gonna make this work,

you know, I'm thinking, "How bad could it be?"

That's what we're getting on?

Coming on, that's Traci.

Okay, as a germophobic,

I always have a pair of gloves

in my purse somewhere.

I'm always prepared.

You look crazy.

I'm dry.

- For now. - For now.

My hair's not gonna get messed up.

You have a short...

- I don't touch that. - Yes.

Oh.

Traci was a mess.

She was drenched.

Drenched.

That was amazing!

I'm pretty dry from all my protective layering,

and Traci should have listened to me,

but she got the most wettest.

Is that a word, "wettest?"

am I sounding like Traci?

Whose stupid-ass idea was it to go

on this-- damn water ride?

My hair, my makeup,-- ruined.

This is not-- fun.

No fun at all.

Okay, the carousel.

I'ma get on a camel.

I'm on a camel.

Toni, you all right?

It's a little higher than I thought.

Mine ain't goin' up and down!

Yours ain't goin' up and down?

Y'all had to have a camel. That's what y'all get.

- My camel's not going up and down! - Mine's not moving!

Well, Tamar and Trina picked the biggest camel,

thinking because it's tall

and bigger, that it does-- it's better-- see?

So sometimes, little things are the way to go.

Well, not in everything. Not in everything, but--

- Mine's broke. - Mine doesn't move.

My camel didn't move, it didn't go up and down, it just went around.

Just around.

No up and down, just around.

I got cheated.

Girl, you wanna do it again

- so you can get a-- -No, I don't.

You wanted the biggest animal on that ride,

and it didn't move.

Mine worked.

Coming up on "Braxton Family Values"...

I was born to do this album.

I know I went through a period,

where I didn't know myself, and I definitely

didn't love myself.

What didn't you love about yourself?

Trina, he want half your business. Hit it!

Tomorrow's gonna be an epic battle.

Get ready for the fight of your life, Gabe.

Oh, that's a big old bird.

- Oh! - Hi!

What's the thing she holdin'?

- Is it alive? - What is that?

I'm not going over there.

This is a sloth, look.

Look at this.

Yeah. Right.

Look at the flamingo. Look.

Towanda does.

Hi, flamingo.

- Towanda, you wanna feed 'em? - Yeah.

I was a little nervous about feeding the flamingos.

- No, Logan. No, Logan. - Look, Logan. Look at...

Aah!

It tickled.

Then I was ready to wash my hands.

I'm glad we all spent the day together

and had fun as a family.

We made some really great memories today,

and it felt like we were really back together again.

I don't know how long this is gonna last,

because real change takes time,

but so far so good.

Okay, one, two, three, "the Braxtons!"

Come on.

Whoo!

I know. It was very Aerosmith.

It's one of the best trips we've taken in a long time. No lie.

And we're gonna end it with my new favorite chef.

I love him. He's incredible.

Just surprise us.

Give us your thingy, and we'll just enjoy.

It's our last night in Florida,

and an end to an absolutely amazing day at the amusement park,

where surprisingly there was no drama.

Ooh, there she is.

You can't wear that shirt, Trina. Button it up.

I can't button it up, Toni.

Child...

I'm not even in the mood right now. You have no idea.

I do. I understand. Sorry.

This trip has been really fun.

But my court appearance about my divorce is in a couple of days,

and thinking about it is really bringing me down.

Didn't we have fun today, guys?

Listen...

The whole weekend was good.

It really was.

It was productive.

It was bumpy at first.

You know, the biggest thing for me is, like,

letting bygones be bygones.

Yeah, that's true.

And not having to be right.

Should we have a code word

when a person's hurting our feelings,

and maybe we say a code word?

"You're hurting my feelings."

Why can't we just say "lemon meringue pie"?

♪ Fire truck ♪

Banana pudding. Banana pudding is our word.

To do what with?

To calm us down or to bring peace, or to...

I sure ain't gonna remember that.

Or to say you hurt-- your feelings getting hurt.

Banana pudding.

I think the word "banana pudding"

is the best code word for "you hurt my feelings"

because it's something that makes you happy,

because we all love banana pudding.

So-- take some of the edge off.

Sometimes it's not what you say,

it's how you say it.

If I said, "You know what, Toni? Banana pudding."

It's still another trigger. It's still--

It's, like, tone.

How about this? Banana pudding. Extra cookies.

People are gonna feel like we have Tourette syndrome

just saying, "Banana pudding. Banana pudding."

They're gonna think there's something wrong with us.

I'm just saying.

Banana pudding.

Okay, so let's go around the table

and talk about what our favorite part of the weekend is.

Go, Trina.

I think, um, sitting in the RV playing card games

and just laughing and joking.

Getting on the water ride--

Toni actually got on the ride with us.

Yeah, that was cool.

Mine was just all us being together and not arguing.

A whole day.

My favorite part was...

finding out that everybody

was gonna spend the whole day together.

I think the best thing was we tolerated the animals.

And mommy did too.

Who tolerated the animals?

Who? Who?

We tolerated the smells.

We saw different, um--

I meant my feelings.

Trace, we talking about the best part about us.

- Right. - Not the animals.

It's nice to see new things.

Yeah!

Banana pudding, banana pudding,

banana pudding, banana pudding!

I am so thankful for Bishop Jakes,

that he left such a positive attitude,

that he remind them where they come from.

We should toast to the bishop.

- Yes. - To Bishop.

To the bishop!

To the bishop, and to the Braxtons!

How about that?

Yes, yes, clank, clank, clank, clank...

Look at God.

Ooh, it's got a ring and everything.

- Hi. - Hi.

Welcome. Paul Delgado.

- Hi. How are you? - What is your name?

- Towanda. - Towanda.

- Trina. - Trina.

Traci flew to Atlanta because she and I

really want to help Trina get ready for court with Gabe tomorrow,

and so boxing, I felt, was a perfect exercise.

She can get rid of all of her aggression.

She needs to hit hard,

'cause she's going through a divorce.

Okay, we're gonna teach you that,

and we're gonna get you ready for this battle.

- Ready? - Yes.

Now let's get started then.

Okay.

Gabe keeps threatening to take half of my assets,

including Bar Chix,

so tomorrow is gonna be an epic battle.

Everything I've worked hard for is at stake.

I'm a lover, not a fighter.

Be a fighter. Go.

One, one, two. Roll, two. Come on.

Trina, he want half your business. Hit it.

Do it. Do it.

You can do it. Come on.

Roll. Then come back with the two.

- Two again. - Yes, Trina.

But I'm not going through a divorce.

What's that? But you still gotta defend yourself at all times.

We're here for support, Traci. Moral support.

-Come on. - Okay.

- Ready? - Yes.

Go. One, two, one, two, one two.

Keep going, keep going, keep going.

Don't stop. Don't stop.

Can we go in this boxing ring?

Big hook. You wanna go in the ring?

- Let's go in the ring. - Let's go in the ring.

See what I'm talking about? Yeah.

See?

Ding, ding, ding.

In this corner, we got Trina "Don't hurt 'em too hard" Braxton.

- Let's go again. - One, one, two.

- There you go. - One, one, two.

One, one, two.

Wait. Can you make it sound hard,

so people don't think I'm a wuss?

All right, ready? I'll slam it on you.

- Just go. - Okay.

One, one, two. There you go!

Yeah, come get some.

- One, one, two. - Yeah, I got--

Again. There you go. Lot of--

Come on. Little harder.

Ugh. One more.

One more.

One, two, three.

Time. Good work, good work, good work.

Who's the champ? Who's the champ?

Good work. Get 'em, get 'em, get 'em.

Go, Trina!

I cannot wait to get this court date over with tomorrow.

Get ready for the fight of your life, Gabe.

All right, ladies, we're done. That's it.

Good work. Great session.

Starting to get a little amped about it.

Coming up on "Braxton Family Values"...

You tried it, Vince.

See, I was about to say something nice,

and you done spoiled it.

The process for a divorce can take some time.

Gabe just wants the drag this divorce out to torture me.

-

-What up, mama? -Hi.

Hi, how are you?

I'm good. How are you?

Tamar Braxton hanging out with your boy Big Tig

on the people's station, V-103.

Now I'm uber-excited to be here

to promote my new single.

I feel like everybody's excited for my new record,

because it's bomb.

I feel like I was born to do this album.

You were "born"?

I feel like everything I've been through in my life

was to write this album and put it together.

Mm-hmm.

And I know I went through a period

where, you know, I didn't know myself

and I definitely didn't love myself.

What didn't you love about yourself?

I wasn't comfortable in my skin.

I had to, you know, come to the realization

that, you know, I have to love myself

so someone else can love me.

- There's this new song... -God.

...that you have that you're parading around the country.

Ooh, "If I Don't Have You" is my newest single.

You know, it's about being transparent,

and it's about, you know,

if I don't have you in my life,

then I don't know what I'm gonna do.

I'm not gonna be able to make it.

When did you, like-- "Mm-hmm, that song about him"?

You know, "If I don't have you, Vincent."

Um, I think when Logan came into play.

I mean, I always knew...

- No, you tried it. - Yeah, me too.

You tried it, Vince. You tried it.

Me too. I was like, "Oh..."

Vince was like, "Wait. All the way then?"

See, I was about to say something nice,

and you done spoiled it, you see?

You said, "Logan." That's all I heard.

No, I was going to say I felt it a long time ago,

but when Logan came into play,

it kind of put things into perspective,

because, you know, I just feel like

our whole family dynamic would not work without Vince.

No one can come in and fill his shoes, period. Ever.

- Aw. - Yeah.

What's the number-one song today?

...do it.

It's "If I Don't Have You," my Tamar-tian friends,

where would I be?

You too, Vince.

Song number one in the big four at 4:00 on V-103.

- Yes! - Like, "Ow!"

Me too.

♪ Baby, baby, call me crazy ♪

Normally, an artist will be really concerned

about their next album,

especially after coming off

the success of a record like "Love and War."

I'm a little nervous,

but, you know, as long as I feel

like I'm putting amazing music out,

I feel like, you know, my response will be just as amazing.

'Kay?

♪ If I don't have you ♪

- ♪ See, baby, I'ma tear down these walls ♪ - Hey, yo.

Sing, girl. Sing.

- ♪ And it's on my life ♪ - Big Tigger: Sing!

♪ I'll lose my mind if I don't have... ♪

Big Tigger: I don't hear you.

Tamar, we love you. Thank you.

Ooh, I got my life.

Whoo!

- That's some-- -Child!

- Ooh! - Big Tigger: Tamar!

Oh, I was "re-bornt."

-Please be seated. - Okay.

Well, what are we fighting over now?

An area rug? What?

It's not the area rug. It's a...

Right.

The court appearance is today,

but Antavius, my attorney,

asked me to meet him at his office first.

Now, we already discussed everything,

so I don't know what this is about,

and now I'm just even more stressed out.

Well, you know that divorces take a long time.

Um, and in fact--

My first one didn't take as long as this one.

But the process for a divorce can take some time,

because, you know, we go through the discovery process,

wherein you're answering and asking questions of the other side.

Okay.

So do you have any other questions about the discovery process?

Um, my question is, "Do we really have to answer

a lot of these just ludicrous questions?"

Uh, under normal circumstances, yes.

I mean, it's a legal process,

and we have to have it have an answer.

Thank you. You have to have an answer.

More documents? The court appearance is today.

Now what's Gabe trying to surprise me with this time?

He's trying to take all of Bar Chix?

You want Bar Chix? No.

There's been some haggling back and forth,

um, with our side and their side.

I swear I can't take this anymore.

We've been haggling for months,

and Gabe just wants to drag this divorce out to torture me.
