Previously on "Braxton Family Values"...

Look at that.

- What? - Look at that.

I need to look flawless in every picture.

I need my entire support team on it, okay?

How long is this gonna take?

It could be a couple weeks.

It's very frustrating. Every day counts.

After fighting my ex to keep 100% of Bar Chix,

I'm determined to make it a success,

but this cannot take two more weeks.

I definitely can't have anything delaying the opening

or we're in serious trouble.

Your relationship with your sisters is obviously a stressor.

I was so pissed.

My-- feelings was hurt.

I need to tell my sisters how I exactly feel

and not... cover it up.

I really want us to fix this once and for all.

I'm shutting down.

♪ We are the Braxtons and you'll see ♪

♪ That we are not like an ordinary family ♪

♪ Toni, Traci, Towanda, Trina ♪

♪ Tamar and Miss E will ♪

♪ On "Braxton Family Values." ♪

- Trina? - Hmm?

You know I don't like working out at new places.

Me either.

It's okay, but this is for me, guys.

I feel like Paddington Bear.

I decided to push my Bar Chix grand opening

another week due to construction.

And I know I need a major workout

so I can be slenderized and look my very best

along with my bar.

EJ, nice to meet you.

Tribble. Traci, nice to meet you.

- Towanda. - Towanda, Tribble.

- Yes. - I got the T part down.

No, if I'm mad, I would tell you. Believe that.

I can see.

Traci's just like, "What we got? When we gonna go?"

-We're ready. - Y'all ready?

All right, let's do some up-up down-downs

so Traci don't cuss me out over there.

Three, two, and go. Up-up, down-down.

She's all about it. I'll make her laugh before we leave.

I swear to God I will. One more, and time.

Traci, what you like to drink?

- Huh? - How you feel? You need a water?

- Salsa water. - Salsa water?

- Seltzer water, salsa water, bubbly water. -Seltzer water.

- The water. - Salsa water?

Just-- you dip your chips in, you sip it a little bit.

It's just all fam.

I don't really like you. Be quiet.

- Okay, I'm gonna stop. - Trina, I like him.

I don't. Go over there. and talk to them.

Traci, why?

Don't you know that cartoon "Summer-eye"?

- "Summer-eye"? - Samurai?

Samurai, Summer-eye, just sum it all up.

Just go on there somewhere.

I will leave you be. Towanda, I'll come be with you.

You can stay right over here. Yes, you can stay here with me.

Yo, I'ma have a seat. I'ma watch y'all do this.

EJ and Tribble, or "Dumb and Dumber,"

is getting on my nerves.

I don't even know them and they're making jokes?

I am not in the mood today

for any "shenanicans."

I don't care how hot you look.

I'm scared of that one.

-Traci? - I'm scared of that one.

I'm upset with my sisters

because I'm always there for them

and they don't do that for me.

I mean, Trina wanted me to come to Atlanta, so I'm here.

It's time for me to tell them how I feel.

Whew.

I'm in New York for a couple days

to promote my Tamar Collection spring fashion line,

and the first event is my launch party for the press.

Now this is where I get to show off

all of my amazing photos from my fashion line.

Hi.

- Hi, baby. - Congratulations.

- Hi. Thank you for coming. What's your name? - I'm Sandra.

-Hold it. -Nice shot...

- Tay? - All right, thank you.

Thank you. Hey. Hey, mwah. Mwah.

Oh, yes, come through. Okay, here I come.

I came to New York to support Tamar's spring fashion launch.

I love the clothes.

But I'm really here to check out the new shoes.

As a short girl, you can never have too many heels.

Ooh. Would you like a shoe to eat?

Thank you.

That's one of my favorites, too.

- What is your name? - Shawa.

Hi, how are you? Tamar, great to meet you. Thank you for coming.

- That's a sexy heel, how it goes down. - Yeah, that's feelin' it.

I'm glad Toni and my mom are here.

I see Toni over there looking at my shoes, honey.

I knew she was gonna love this collection.

Tay, look at my feet.

Oh, do you like them? Aren't they comfortable?

These are my favorite.

- Did you see the, um-- - Which one?

No.

Everybody loves my shoes, honey.

You can now call me "Tamar Christian Louboutin

Braxton Herbert," okay?

I was looking at a few pieces and they all seem to be cut

for a little bit more curve than I would like.

Yeah, well, she's a curvaceous girl, now.

So, you know, she has to fit her own clothes.

No, they're beautiful, though, and they're very simple,

- and I hear that the prices are really good. - Yes, they are.

I really hope my "Tamartian" friends

like my little preview of my spring goodies,

but it's time to fly down to Atlanta

so I can hang out with my sisters for a little R&R.

"Ratchet and ridiculousness."

Thank you so much for coming. It means a lot to me.

- Yeah, they're great. They're lovely. - Yay.

I'm glad you like them. Thank you so much.

- No, no, no, no. It's not you. - All right.

-Traci? Traci? -Okay, I took some time to cool off.

Now I'm going to put on a happy face

and get right back in there.

You guys should come to Trina's bar.

She's about to open up a bar.

Yes.

Well, I-- I bar tend.

You do?

Right now I'm in between things.

That's good to know.

I think that Tribble is a perfect candidate

for one of the new bartenders for-- ahem--

I can't even get my words together, he's so cute.

For Bar Chix, you know.

He's delicious eye candy.

And the trainer, EJ, he's not too bad either.

He's adorable, too.

Okay, so you've bartended. Now, do you bar tend, EJ?

- I've never bartended before. - Oh.

I've been trying to get him in there because he knows so many people

and it's easy to pick up, truly,

and I think that I could teach him how to do it.

- Half of bartending is personality... - Yes, that's true.

...which he's got covered. And he knows everybody, which--

part of being a bartender is being a "promoter"

and bringing people in the bar.

He's got that covered. I'll teach him the drinks.

I'll teach him everything he needs to know about pouring the ounces,

about cleaning the bar, about setting it up.

That's good. That's a tag team.

And they're cute, Trina, and their bodies look great.

I'd come to your bar if I didn't know you to see them.

Towanda, I'll make up my own mind and make my own decisions.

I'm not making up your mind for you.

Can you imagine us behind the bar

just kind of running the show?

Just these two? You walk in the bar...

- Wow. - ...you're with your girls.

Why are you saying, "Wow"?

I mean, trust me, I get it.

I still have a business to run.

I'll tell you what. I'll just say this.

I ain't never let nobody down in my life.

Ooh, you a little cocky, huh?

It could be a trial period.

It's good for the younger girls and for the cougars.

-Listen to Traci. - It's good.

I think it's something worth thinking about.

If EJ and Tribble can get Traci to change her mind,

they can definitely sell drinks

and lots of them, okay?

I just started hiring my staff,

so I don't want to make any promises,

but I know who Towanda will want as a head bartender.

Well, think about it, though, for real.

- Absolutely. - All right.

- You wanna get back to work? - Yes.

I think I need me a private lesson.

-Well, hi. - Hey.

- I don't know why everybody's looking at me. -How nice of y'all--

- Hey, guys. - Why is everybody dressed up?

Why you got on pajamas?

This was supposed to be a pajama party.

Yes, it was, initially. But let me tell you what happened, Toni.

Trina forgot to tell Towanda.

You should've called Towanda 'cause you initially did--

No, I did. She didn't answer the phone.

Toni, Mommy, and I left New York and came to Atlanta

to hang out with the rest of the girls

before we have to fly back to the West Coast.

Now, originally we were gonna have a pajama party,

but I guess everybody didn't get the message.

Wait, wait, she forgot to tell you that it was not a pajama party?

-Yes. - Sit down, "Sofia."

But no one told me that it was a pajama party.

-See? It's-- - The communication...

You saying you woulda taken that offer?

I probably would've put on pajamas,

walk around the hotel in pajamas. That'd have been great.

Banana pudding.

This is a prime example of a great "banana pudding" moment.

"Banana pudding" is our code word.

To do what with?

To calm us down or to bring peace

or to say your feeling's getting hurt.

Banana pudding.

I called "banana pudding" because no one called me

to tell me that, "Hey, guys, we're not doing a pajama party anymore.

We're gonna come in our regular clothes."

Banana pudding. Banana pudding.

Who ordered it-- who ordered?

- Trina ordered? - Why's it always have to be my fault?

All right, let's see what she ordered.

I just wanted an egg real bad.

Lobster tacos. Thank you.

Wah, did we do two orders?

- Mm-hmm. - Good.

Oh, for me. Thank you, Trina.

Okay, I do like sea bass.

For real? Trina.

Traci, cilantro's not plural.

Really? It is so disrespectful right now at this moment.

I am not in the mood today for everybody

to keep picking on me, the way I talk.

Coming up on "Braxton Family Values"...

I miss my sisters being around.

Traci is trying to tell us how she's feeling.

But Tamar's on a mission to make deviled eggs.

And loud.

So it's going to be you on the stage all by yourself.

Toni's show has to be the best performance of my life.

I don't want to look like a frumpin' dumpling.

Trina ordered eggs.

Traci, cilantro's not plural.

Traci doesn't like flavors. She doesn't like "cilantros"

and she doesn't like--

"Cilancho." But, no-- but for real,

I get sick off of "cilancho," though.

- Cilantro. -It's the best-- that's all right, it wasn't bad.

-With the O. -"La-cho-cho."

Traci does say "cilantros."

- She does. - "Shrimps."

She does say "shrimp."

Really? It is so disrespectful right now at this moment.

I am not in the mood today for everybody

to keep picking on me, the way I talk.

-Eggs, eggs, eggs. - Trina, can I make you some deviled eggs real quick?

- I can make deviled eggs. - Do not make devil's eggs.

I'm gonna make-- Trina, I make the bomb deviled eggs.

She got all the sides and stuff.

Deviled eggs is like a church staple, okay?

Every church girl knows how to make a deviled egg.

So I just got excited.

"Like, ooh, I can make deviled eggs in my hotel room."

That's ratchet and fun.

I can't call mine deviled eggs.

- I have to call mine... - Angel eggs.

- Jesus eggs. -Uh-uh, nuh-uh. That's bla--

- That ain't "blasphemized." -Yes, it is.

Cut mine long ways. I need it long ways.

Traci, how's your music stuff going?

It's going on pretty good.

I'm excited about my music and everything like that.

But, you know, I-- I always look around the corner when I'm performing.

I just want my sisters just--

Toni, you think it's done? Usually when you make 'em, you do 'em creamy or chunky?

- You like 'em creamy? - Girl, just make the deviled eggs.

- Right. - Stop being so dramatic.

It's a little on D right now.

-It is a little-- a capital D. - It is.

Traci is trying to tell us how she's feeling,

but Tamar is on a mission to make deviled eggs.

And loud.

I'm sure it's not making Traci

feel any better right now.

Trina, take your eggs, for God's sake.

Go ahead and finish, Traci.

I just want my sisters to be there.

Just one time or two or three.

Ooh.

I miss my sisters and being, you know--

being around.

I told Traci to preach

because I just said the same exact thing a couple months ago

and, you know, I got my head chopped off.

Can I get you guys to come out on the road for, like, a day or two?

I'm interested, but I can't-- not right now.

But, Traci, you should have time

'cause your radio show is under construction right now.

No, but Traci is working on her album right now.

Y'all that booked?

"Well, everybody can't stop their life to come see you, Tamar.

Everybody got things to do."

Oh, really? Now you want to be supported?

It's your life.

Having the support of my sisters just being there

every now and then. I'm not saying every time.

Just once in a purple moon.

So what can we do to make you feel, you know--

'cause when's your next show?

- Whew, in... - Couple months?

- Yes. - Well, Tra, maybe--

maybe you can come on the show-- my show-- and sing a song or two.

- I would-- - Maybe-- would that-- what do you think?

I would like that.

Do, like, the San Diego show.

That's right around the corner.

I would love to-- I would love to do that.

I would like that, like how we first started up.

I've been wanting to ask Traci to sing one of her songs at my show for a while now.

I know in the past, she's often felt left behind

when we pursued our own individual music careers,

but in the beginning, we all performed together.

So I'm thinking it would be really nice

to have everyone in San Diego.

You have to sing "Last Call." That's one of my favorite songs.

I mean, if you want. It's up to you.

-Yeah. - I want you to be comfortable.

I-- believe me, I'm comfortable.

I was ready to get mad at my sisters for not supporting me

and then, boom, Toni makes this amazing offer.

Now instead of being mad, I'm happy, I'm excited.

And I'll be sharing the stage with Toni the Braxton.

So I think we'd all be together.

Tamar'd come, Trina, Mommy.

All of us would be there.

-Wow, I would love that. - Yeah.

Tamar, you coming?

Why can't you just say yes?

- I don't know. - It's next week.

I don't know.

Could be fun, like when we all started out

with Frankie Beverly on tour together.

Who is "we all"?

All of us is on stage together.

I mean, like, Traci performs, we can all be there.

Mommy can come.

"You can come, but you can't perform."

Who, you?

That's what you said. But that's okay.

Because you said you can't 'cause your album was coming out.

I can't what-- no, I said I don't know

if I can say yes right now because... I don't know.

So you can come, but you can't perform.

Okay, I understand. You can come, but you can't perform.

-Right. -Nobody else took it that way but you, I promise.

What?

- Okay. - Okay, yeah.

She tried it.

I saw it. She tried it.

"I mean, you can come to San Diego.

You can't perform, but you can come, right?"

Tried it.

Trina, so how's the bar going?

Uh, the bar's going okay.

So when are we coming for the opening of Bar Chix?

It's not too much longer now.

- We get to come to that, right? - Yes.

- I want you guys all to come. - Okay.

I'll definitely be there.

I know I've been shady in the past,

but I'm gonna come, though, for real.

I am super stressed out about the bar not opening yet

and I don't have a full staff hired yet.

So I'm just a little nervous.

While we're sitting here and while we've already talked about Bar Chix really quickly,

everybody has a drink except for Tamar.

What? I have a drink.

- Oh, you named a drink after everybody? -Named after them.

Before my grand opening for Bar Chix,

I was hoping to have all of my sisters' signature drinks on the menu by now,

but that's still a work in progress.

Well, I thought I told you the other day.

You weren't quite...

It's called the "Yes, God."

I'm not gonna put that on the menu.

Yes, you-- yes, you can.

- What? - Tamar's "'Yes, God' is good."

You want a drink called "Yes, God"?

Yes, God. Because it's so good, honey.

It's amazing.

I'm gonna choose a different name.

- I can't call something "Yes, God" on the menu. - Why come?

Y'all ever had a good cocktail and you--

"Yes, God"! You've had that reaction, right?

But it is kind of a little catchy.

- Traitor. -You callin' her a traitor?

Tamar's "Yes, God"? That child--

I just gotta pray for her every day.

What's my drink called? "Tonitini"?

-Tonitini. -Yes, Tonitini.

-Why? - 'Cause Tonitini's martini.

It's like a champagne martini.

That's-- I think that's pretty good.

A champagne martini?

- That's why "Tonitini." -And Traci, what's her name?

"Traci H2O."

- Traci's water? - Traci Water.

And I hate the name.

That's what she wanted, and if Tamar wants "Yes, God"...

It's "Tamar comma, Yes, God."

"Tamar comma, Yes, God."

- What's your name? - I don't remember.

- You don't-- -I heard it a long time ago.

What's hers, Trina?

It's called "Towanda's Tongue Kiss."

- Ew. - That's a little vulgar.

Disgusting. Nobody's ordering that.

You named it, Towanders.

- "Towanda's Tongue Kiss"? - That's disgusting.

- Don't do that. -It's not supposed to be a tongue kiss.

- Trina came up with that name-- "Tongue." - I did not.

It was supposed to be "Towanda's Kiss."

Ew.

- Hey, Tra. - Hey, T.

- Traffic is terrible, right? - Oh, my goodness.

- I know, it's getting worse out here. - It's crazy out there.

This weekend is the San Diego Jazz Festival.

It's a three-day event with thousands and thousands of fans

and Traci will be sharing the stage

with a major line of performers.

Including me, too.

So, what do you think? About doing the show?

So much fun. I'm looking forward to it now.

This will be the biggest audience that Traci's performed for,

so she and I flew to LA to start preparing right away.

But first I want to make sure

that Traci's in the right headspace

and not too overwhelmed.

So it's going to be you on the stage all by yourself.

- Okay. - A mic and lights.

Just you. Just Traci.

- Okay. - Okay?

- Okay. - No doo-wop-pop-pop.

- Just you sounding great, looking great, being great. - Okay.

- So is that good? - Yes, 'cause that's gonna be a lot of people.

Traci, you're fine.

- Don't think about it. You can do it. - Okay.

- My hands are sweating. - You're gonna do it.

- It's gonna be great. - Okay.

I only have a few days to prepare for this show

and I just hope I can deliver.

I mean, this is a bigger crowd than what I'm used to.

I would love for you to do it.

I want to be right. I don't want to look like a frumpin' dumpling.

But you got it. You got it already when you're on your own.

So you don't have to think twice about it.

I don't want you to think twice about it.

But you're Toni Braxton and I'm doing background for Toni Braxton.

No, you're Traci Braxton. You're fine, you're great.

The last time I performed, I almost had a panic attack.

Should I drink some water?

Whew. Oh, my God.

- Oh, my God. - Tra.

I do not want my nerves

to overwhelm me again at Toni's concert

so Toni can tell me off.

Toni's show has to be the best performance of my life.

Oh, my goodness. The "Last Call," 'cause Traci better make this right.

You're gonna be right. You're gonna be great.

They always love you when you come out anyway.

They're like, "Traci! Traci!"

I kinda had to put you in the show 'cause people been asking me.

"Why you ain't put Traci onstage?"

"I want to get Traci onstage!"

So, by popular demand.

- Okay. - But I really wanted you to.

I really want you to be in the show.

All righty.

Whew. Okay.

You so silly.

- Okay. - It's gonna be great.

Ooh, yeah. Let's do it.

Let's go.

Let's go get something to eat.

Mm-mm. No, you can't eat.

- I gotta look great, honey. -Okay, you silly.

Coming up on "Braxton Family Values"...

You're beautiful inside and out.

I like Jacent, but I need to focus on Bar Chix.

That is my new relationship.

Here's the thing...

No, right here.

Toni's on one side, Tamar's in front of me.

It's freakin' me out.

So how are you tonight?

- I'm good. - That's good.

I'm gonna take off my jacket, though.

Okay.

I like your dress.

- Thank you. - Very nice.

Uh, my dress told me to tell you it likes you, too.

Now that my divorce is final

and Jacent has met my family,

I like Jacent, but I'm still a little leery

because I'm not trying to move too quickly.

I need to focus on Bar Chix

and Bar Chix's opening. That is my new relationship.

So that's where I'm focusing all of my attention.

- I'm glad you came out. - I am, too.

Yeah, yeah.

I feel like you're beautiful inside and out.

I just want you to know that.

You're full of compliments tonight.

I'm just recently divorced

and it's been a while since I've had a man

tell me how beautiful and desirable I am.

And Jacent, he keeps getting me to go on dates with him

because he keeps telling me all the things I like to hear.

Because, you know, he's just really charming.

We oughta do some fun things.

- Like? - Skiing, perhaps?

Are you saying you're gonna take me skiing?

- What? - Why not?

I don't think I'm ready for that yet.

- No trips. - You want to progress when you do things.

You don't want to stay stagnant.

Yeah, but...

here's the thing.

- I am still in my journey... - I understand.

...out of another situation.

And I don't want to be "in like" with you too soon.

Do you understand what I'm saying?

I understand your situation, and I respect it.

But, you know, whenever you're ready, I'm here.

Maybe just for one night I can let my guard down,

but there are still some very important things that need to get finished,

like finding the rest of my staff,

and tomorrow I'm going to San Diego for Toni's show.

But after that, it's back to serious business.

- Oh, for me? - Of course.

Oh, you just want to take the whole thing?

Okay.

Towanda and I just arrived in San Diego for Toni's sound check,

and I am feeling so nervous for Traci today

because I remember the first time I was performing

in front of a Toni Braxton audience.

And that just-- that's a huge amount of pressure on your shoulders, absolutely.

- Hey. - Hey.

All right, try the hat. Try kicks and the hat.

Come through, skinty-minty!

I'm trying.

I am so surprised Tamar showed up at the venue.

Oh, my God, she came to support me. Her and Mommy.

All my sisters are here. I am so flipping happy.

- Thank you. - Wig, lipstick.

Everything on fleek. Body on fleek.

- It's new, right? - No.

This-- I had this effin' wig for three years.

Traci's on fleek today. Do you feel as good as you look?

Uh, I just think I need to lose another 15 more pounds.

Like right here. And here.

You think so? Thank you.

I came from LA not to just see the show,

but to be here for the sound check as well.

I really want Traci to know that she has 100% of my support.

I'm taking a video of Traci's sound check

just in case she wants to see how she looks

before she performs.

Now, I always find it helpful to see myself perform,

you know, on the video, just so I can see it

from the audience perspective,

and she should see that, too.

I show up at sound check and Traci's in the middle of her song,

I'm trying to tell Traci to narrate the song

through her vocals, through her body language.

Like, it's okay to get up in it a little bit,

meaning, like, point to the people,

give 'em a little, you know, groove, a little bump and grind.

Like, "Last call. Love me, be with me."

And I want her to narrate it a bit more.

♪ It's my last call. ♪

In the past, I've had Toni critique my performances

and I've had Tamar critique my performances,

but never, ever at the same time.

And I hope Traci has her extra-strength deodorant on today

and put your big-girl panties on

because sometimes it can be really difficult to hear.

And just one-- They never did it.

- We're doing choreography right now. - It's the first time.

Just one-two it.

I'm flat?

One, two.

This should be like...

Like this-- mm.

That's how it gotta go.

Three, four, one, two.

That's what I need to see.

Coming up on "Braxton Family Values"...

Don't think, Traci. Let go.

Girl, don't tell Traci not to think.

I'm hoping I'll be able to pull this thing together

by showtime.

Okay, small prayer.

Welcome to the stage Miss Toni Braxton.

This is a huge opportunity Toni is giving me.

I don't want to let anyone down.

That's how it gotta go. Three, four, one, two.

That's what I need to see.

Trina sometimes has the tendency

to move like a robot, you know?

And that's not cute.

Trina, put some stank on it.

She should put some stank juice like-- "Ew."

Move around like something stank.

"What's that smell?"

Mm, that.

- Towanda? - Yes.

Your moves is different from Trina's.

Just, like, you doin' the funky chicken

and Trina not moving at all.

This how you doing that. Look.

You're forgetting to put your mic right here.

I'm sorry. I'm a choreographer. I'm just saying.

I'm the Instagram Police.

Do it one more time, baby.

Toni's on one side, Tamar's in front of me.

I can't concentrate.

I don't know where to look, whose moves to do.

I'm lucky I'm even remembering my own damn song at this point.

It's freaking me out.

♪ ...lights on, 'cause it's my last call ♪

♪ Baby, come to me ♪

♪ Baby, can you feel me? ♪

♪ It's my last call. ♪

Very good. Okay, we're fine.

Okay. Here we go.

Don't be mad at my note. Y'all not mad at my notes, are you?

You're not mad at my notes.

I don't want you to be mad at my notes.

What's the matter with your notes?

I don't want you to be mad at my notes.

Where's Traci? Where did Traci go?

- Right there. - She got notes for Trina.

For both of y'all. All three of you.

This is the crunk session. You gotta break them up

'cause I'm sleepy looking at them two.

Trina just do it so soft. It's like--

No, Trina, you got--

- I didn't shake, shake, shake. - Most of the time she don't.

I'm waving all the shade away.

It's not shade.

Sometimes. Some shows, you feel great.

Then on the other songs, you'd be like...

My stank and Tamar's stank is just a little bit different.

I can't go on the stage twerking.

So I think my stank is very age-appropriate,

but I thank you, Tamar, for your opinion.

It's got to be harder, Trina.

Real hard.

And because Traci's watching Trina--

man, I know Traci be movin'. Traci can move hard.

But she wasn't moving hard. It was real subtle, real saved.

- Don't move so-- - Did you say it was saved?

- It was saved. - Pentecostal? Little Pentecostal.

- A little holding it. - You know what I mean?

Yeah, I was Pentacostalized.

Toni, you need to start fining people. Then they start moving.

I feel so honored doing backup for Traci or all of my sisters,

but I would like to point out that I didn't get any notes.

I always bring it, even in rehearsals.

- Good job. - Bye, T, thank you.

- Don't be nervous. You'll be great. - Okay, I will.

- Bye, girl. - I'll be nervous.

After sound check, we went back to our hotel

and changed into our costumes,

and now we've got about 20 minutes until showtime

and we're heading backstage to chill out and just try to keep Traci calm,

at least until it's time to hit the stage.

- Where's Traci? - Getting a chair.

Do you think she's uber-- like, nervous?

- Yeah. - Yeah, I think she's nervous.

How you dance in those shoes?

Girl...

Traci, you nervous?

- I am. - So, why you nervous?

It's my very first performance with a lot of people.

- Really? - I mean, I've had a little bit people.

I've been in a big crowd with my sisters, but not by myself.

You're not by yourself.

I know I'm not, but it's like my own music.

Debuting my own music into a big festival like this.

It's not like a little club crowd of people.

Right, Traci, I've had my show in front of a big crowd like this.

You just can't care.

Look over their heads.

I always-- well, you can't really see no way.

- Uh-huh, 'cause it's not dark outside. -Oh, yeah.

- Oh, I'm not helpful. Sorry. - Yeah, you don't have lights in your face, sorry.

Well, find somebody really attractive and concentrate--

Let me tell you-- don't stare at one person too long.

'Cause I'm gonna tell you, this is what happens.

And don't get offended, right?

You cannot be affected by this.

Hi.

- Aw, he like, "Uh-uh. Hold up. U-turn." - Hey, Poo.

- Well, can you-- -Hi.

Traci, this is your good luck charm right here.

- Hey, Poo. - Can you touch my hand?

- Yay! - Hallelujah.

-Hey. - Good, Mama. Hi, Poo.

- Where Traci? - Right here.

- You know what, Traci? - I look like Toni.

That is the funniest thing.

My mother didn't even know who I was.

She thought I was Toni.

I mean, I'm supposed I look like Toni.

We share the same DNA.

And plus if I messed up onstage,

they'll be like, "Uh, was that Toni?

Singing Traci's song?"

- He's tired. - Where you going, LoLo?

Where you wanna go? Where you wanna go?

Bye. Bye, Poo.

Bye, Logie!

I'm so glad I'm not on your side.

I'm gonna tell you something right now.

Don't let it go. Hold on.

On the pl--

Sister.

So just imagine everything's quiet,

we're just reaching cruising altitude,

and I was like--

- What? - We didn't reach cruising yet.

- We did not reach cruising yet. - On the way-- look--

What is that?!

- It smells like-- - Oh, my God.

You know, when a person leaves greens out and it spoils

and how that-- that's how that smelled to me.

I was like, "What is that?"

And Trina-- that's when Trina said,

"I don't know! What is that smell? What is that?"

- That's really nasty. -That's when she said...

I just think it's absolutely and utterly disgusting

that Trina's... "fluffing" on planes.

She has a new man. She can't be doing stuff like that.

It's just nasty.

But, Traci, what are you nervous about the most, though?

They're gonna love you.

Yeah, they're gonna love you.

Let me tell you something. Perform and expect nothing.

Just do you.

It's your life. Have fun.

You'll never have a first-time experience like this again, ever.

It's gonna be great.

And don't think, Traci. Let go.

- Don't tell me not to think. - Don't think.

Girl, don't tell Traci not to think.

I wouldn't think. I'm telling you--

But, Tamar, everybody's a little different.

I just say don't think about it so much

that you psych yourself out.

I just don't want her to be in her head.

When you tell me not to think,

that makes me think even more.

I'm hoping I'll be able to pull this thing together by showtime

because this is a huge opportunity Toni is giving me.

I don't want to let anyone down, even myself.

Coming up on "Braxton Family Values"...

Traci, can you sing tonight? Can you sing a little?

Y'all wanna hear Traci singing?

Here we go. This is the time

for me to really prove myself.

I cannot fail.

Not nervous, just anxious.

I'm really-- I was nervous, but now I'm anxious.

I'm so excited for Traci!

It's showtime and it's now or never for Traci.

I feel like I'm throwing her into a deep end

and she's either gonna sink or swim.

Every artist has this moment where they have to face their biggest fears.

But no matter what happens, she has her family here

and we're always gonna be here to support her.

Thank you.

Okay, small prayer.

Let's get on your feet for Toni Braxton, please.

Let's get everybody up.

Dear Lord, we thank you for today.

- Give us the favor of the people... -San Diego...

- and make sure all the nervousness... - please welcome to the stage...

Miss Toni Braxton.

And we're gonna make this...

I don't want to freak Traci out,

but if she doesn't finish this prayer soon,

we're gonna be late getting on the stage.

-Amen! - Jesus!

I asked my sisters for support.

Now I'm getting it, and I can't let them down.

Especially Toni.

No pressure.

San Diego!

Can you sing a little? Y'all want to hear Traci singing?
