How long is this gonna take?

It could be a couple of weeks.

Very frustrating.

Every day counts.

Bar Chix is supposed to open in a couple of weeks,

but there is a lot that needs to get done first.

I'm still gonna be biting my nails until we launch.

You ain't pregnant, are you?

- No. God, no. - Let me see your stomach.

No babies.

I am running out of patience with this damn engagement.

You're not...?

No, not-- no.

I might have to do something drastic.

Okay, what is the surprise?

You have to guess what it is.

Okay, um, charades. Two words.

- Dancing. Baby. - Baby.

- Baby dance. - No!

Okay, just tell us.

"Celebrity Family Feud"!

We're going against Anthony Anderson.

Get ready to lose, Anderson family.

"Family Feud"! Yeah!

♪ 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 ♪

♪ Teach you a thing or two ♪

♪ On "Braxton Family Values." ♪

- So nice to meet you. -Hold the 'vator.

Man #2: Girls, I can see that. It's obvious.

Here we go. Right that way, ladies.

So it's gonna be quick up here.

- Okay. - And welcome to the "Feud."

- Thanks! - Have a great time.

- We will. - Go straight.

Yay.

We're about to play "Celebrity Family Feud"

to help raise money and awareness for Lupus LA.

It's a charity that's near and dear to our family.

I'm a lupus survivor, so it's super important that we win today.

Well, plus losing's not in our genes, so...

- I can't stand it. -Listen, listen.

- I don't think anyone likes losing. - Listen to what I'm saying.

- I'm a sore loser. - Me, too.

I'm extremely competitive,

so I really need for all of my sisters

to really concentrate, please.

Uh-huh.

Because if not, you owe me dinner.

I just wanna make sure

that all of my sisters have their heads in the game,

especially Trina, because she dropped the ball

when we did "Who Wants to Be a Millionaire."

I was gonna say, "Hey, we're not gonna do it.

We're gonna stop here."

And we would have taken home $65,000

for Saving Our Daughters.

You're the one who said "final answer."

- Don't talk to me, Trina. - You said it.

I am still in my feelings, because we could have won more,

and today I really think that we need to bring it home.

We can't be known as the "Braxton Losers Family Values."

That's just not gonna work for me.

- Hey, you. - Carol, how you doing, baby?

This whose asses we gonna kick, sister-in-law.

Sister-in-law, this whose ass we gonna kick.

- Heh-hey. - Hey, baby, how are you?

- I'm good. - All right. Y'all go on out there and get ready.

Come out and play.

Go on and get ready. Go on and get ready.

- If I have to. - It's prime time.

I thought it was, but the producer said too much side slit.

But they just had WWE, and they had their little things

and their boobs were hanging out.

I want to distract Anthony Anderson with my cleavage,

but apparently it's too much side boob showing,

so I have to put a shirt on, a T-shirt on.

I guess we'll have to beat him by actually playing the game.

Okay, we're so nervous. What should we do?

Is there anything that we should do before--

Well, see, let me explain something to you.

There's nothing you can do to prepare for this show.

Okay.

We're gonna ask you questions

that ain't got nothing to do with nothing.

Matter of fact, the more you know,

the more intelligent you are,

the worse you gonna be at this game.

Really?!

So who in the family--

who's the crazy person in the family?

Traci.

Wow, everybody pointed-- Traci, what--?

I don't know. I don't understand it. I don't.

That's when you know you crazy--

when you crazy and you don't know it.

It's Traci.

Like, who else the crazy sister gonna be?

Ding, ding, Traci. Number one answer.

Who do you think will be the star player?

Well, Towanda has to be one of the round players,

because she's the most competitive out of everybody,

- and I think afterwards-- -

No!

- Lies. Who told you that? -Mm-mm.

- Wow. -No, you can't do that.

Boy, y'all just shut her down.

They give you 25 seconds. I could be the second person.

Five extra seconds. That's what I need.

- Five extra seconds. -No.

Well, we know Toni is incapable of answering questions

fast enough for the fast round,

so everybody knows when it's time to play that round,

you pick the best two players.

That's gonna be me and absolutely not Toni.

I might be too analytical, though.

I don't wanna-- I may think about it too much.

And then you shut down, though.

No, I'll think about it,

'cause I'm thinking in my head I need more time,

and they give you only three seconds, right? I might need five.

No, no, no, no, no. Five seconds gets an X.

-Yes. -Right!

Right? And I predict-- this is my prediction.

And I'm only saying this

because I know that Anthony Anderson is a complete idiot.

I think that you all stand a very good chance

of winning this game.

- Whoo! - Yay.

- I think so, too. - Thank you so much.

Thank you. Thank you.

All right, Trina.

Thank you.

I'm a little nervous,

because like Steve Harvey said,

there's really no way to prepare for the questions

that "Family Feud" asks.

But hopefully we can kick the Anderson family's butt

and make lots of money for Lupus LA.

Welcome to "Celebrity Family Feud."

I'm your man, Steve Harvey.

Let's play "Feud."

Give me Anthony, give me Toni.

Name something a nude magician

might pull a rabbit out of.

Oh!

I said "hat," okay? But it was too late.

- What are we gonna do? - Play, play, play.

- We gonna play! - They gonna play.

But then the Anderson family got three strikes,

and now I have another chance to answer the same question

and win this round.

All right, ladies. Here we go.

Name something a nude magician might pull a rabbit out of.

Toe-- feet.

- We didn't discuss that! - No, not at all.

- Terrible-- - His feet?

They said, "We didn't discuss that."

- At all! - No, we didn't.

You pull a rabbit out your feet!

Survey says...

Aw!

Like, "feet" is, like, the worst possible answer of all time.

But, you know, in spite of Toni's horrible answer,

we won the game, and now we get to go to the fast money round.

Two players need to score at least 200 points together

to win $25,000.

I went first, and I got 99 points,

so now, Tamar, you need to get 101 points.

Name something guys love to do while watching the Super Bowl.

Eat.

- Try again. - Drink beer.

Tell me a place you find an aisle.

Uh, in a supermarket.

Name something guys love to do while watching the Super Bowl.

You said... drink beer.

All right, this is it.

All the money is riding on my last answer,

and I need 36 points to get to the 200.

Name a place where you find an aisle.

You said "supermarket." Survey said...

Oh, yeah!

Yay, we won! Oh, my God, $25,000 for Lupus LA.

I'm so proud of my sisters.

We did great.

We're-- we're a great team.

I was-- I was a good team leader, too.

♪ I love winning! ♪

I can't believe we won.

- What? - Yes.

- I'm not surprised. - What you mean you can't--

like, you can't believe it? Like, we won it, too.

Well, we prayed-- we prayed that we would win.

- Yeah. - It was good.

It was amazing.

For a second, it got a little scary.

Me, too. We were like,

"If we don't know what to say, just say anything."

You said nothing first.

I think she was nervous,

because she was the first person to go up.

And, you know, I mean, I think it's typical Toni

to freeze up when she's nervous.

I said "hat" as the buzzer went off.

Oh!

It doesn't count when you say it after the buzzer,

so, no, you didn't say it, okay?

I said "hat," but I was confused.

Toni, why you-- Towanda will tell you.

She your right-hand girl. Tell her.

Tell her. What she say?

- Nothing. - I said "hat."

- Okay. - I already know this song.

- ♪ I said "hat." ♪ - ♪ I didn't answer at all. ♪

♪ I didn't answer at all ♪

♪ Lord, did you see my hands in the air? ♪

♪ But I didn't answer at all ♪

♪ Well, I didn't answer at all ♪

But we won $25,000 for Lupus LA.

Yay!

Okay, I might have missed an answer or two,

but at the end of the day, we were able to win money for a great cause,

and that was the most fun we've had in a long time.

See, a family effort.

Yeah! We came together.

Everybody was fantastic.

Oh, y'all tried it.

If it wasn't for me and my "smarticsness"...

- Are you serious? - Oh, y'all tried it. Oh, stop.

Wait now, guys--

- This was a group effort. - You said if it wasn't for you?

Oh, so y'all not gonna give it to me?

Wait, you said if it wasn't for you?

Um, at the end.

Oh, if it wasn't for you.

I brought it all home.

That's, like, we're the Orioles,

and everybody play the game.

Cal Ripken come out and, bam, bring it all home.

I ain't bring it? I brought it.

It was a team effort, everybody.

It was a team effort.

Oh, come on. I'm LeBron James right now, okay?

I'm Kobe Bryant.

I'm Magic Johnson of "Family Feud."

I'm the MVP, okay?

Where's my jersey?

Needs to go up there.

Wait a minute. Hold up, Trina.

When is the grand opening for the bar?

I don't know. You didn't tell us.

You know what?

Right now, I'm not even focusing on a date anymore,

'cause I want it to be right.

Mm.

I don't wanna be so hell bent on,

"I need to open this by this date."

Well, give me a proposed, like--

- the month-- - Not yet.

The month of "not yet"?

I was planning to have the grand opening in two weeks,

and I wanna be sure that the bar will be completely ready

and that I have a top-notch staff,

but I'm still looking for bartenders to hire,

and especially cocktails,

and the research for that is super important for what I'm trying to do.

So what's little Kevin gonna do?

We don't-- I don't know the ending to that.

Are they gonna get married?

They still engaged. That's the ending.

Kevin is what, 19?

He has a lot ahead of him.

I hope, I pray, that he does not get married.

Amen.

I wanna get back to Maryland,

'cause Kevin Jr. is stressing me out.

I plan to convince Kevin Jr. to call off this engagement.

He and his teenage fiancée

is getting closer and closer than ever,

but I got a plan to scare the bejeezus out of them when I get home.

Watching you guys today, working together--

look at you now.

- Hear, hear. - Thank God for these wonderful women.

- Look at us now. -Clink, clink, clink, clink.

"Braxton Family Values"!

Coming up on "Braxton Family Values"...

If we gonna get married, I can't do everything by myself.

I hear the arguments already.

I actually have a big surprise for them.

Come on, what is that? You gonna leave us with it?

Ooh, that's high. Is it that high, the way you playing it?

- Lies! - That's definitely the key.

Who gonna sing that high?

You--

You-- you

You-- you have

You-- you have one

You-- you have one job.

You-- you have one job. It's

You-- you have one job. It's to

You-- you have one job. It's to make

You-- you have one job. It's to make the

You-- you have one job. It's to make the meat.

- You have one job-- - I got all of this over here.

You gotta clean it up. That's your job.

I ain't doing this.

You doing it. Kevin, where are you going?

I'm gonna go back to cutting stuff up.

- No, you're not. - That's your job.

You have one job. I can't do it.

If we gonna get married, I can't do everything by myself.

- That's not fair. - It is fair.

No, it's not fair.

You supposed to be nice and loving and help me.

This is stressing me out.

No, it's not. You'll be all right.

Kevin Jr. and Oliviah are always cooking in my kitchen,

so I told them they had to cook dinner for us tonight,

but I actually have a big surprise for them.

Oh, look at the happy, happy couple.

Hi.

-I got something for y'all. - What?

Come on, what is that?

I got Junior Jr. for y'all.

So now y'all have to, um...

cook and hold the baby at the same time.

- Whose baby is that? - So this is Junior Jr.

This is yours and Kevin's baby.

My baby? And Kevin's?

I'm making Kevin Jr. and Oliviah

take care of this robo-baby.

It's basically a baby doll that acts like a real baby.

It cries, it poops, it keeps you up all night.

Let-- let's see how they get along

when they have no sleep.

Look, it have a diaper in here and everything.

This is your real-care baby.

I don't know where you got it from, but you gotta take it back.

Look, got y'all complexion and everything.

Really?

Y'all gotta have this baby for two-- for two days.

It's gonna be your little homework, okay?

Two days with...?

Two days. With Junior Jr.

Okay.

Our baby.

You the pappy.

Junior Jr.,

meet your mom and your pappy.

Hold the baby head. Gotta hold the baby head.

- Hold the head. - Hold the head.

- You the pappy. - Oh, I gotta do it? Oh, thank you.

You the mammy.

And it has the bottle and everything else in there.

So y'all have the real baby for two days.

This baby is used for educational purposes.

There's a wristband and a computer chip in the baby

that records all the results.

It'll let us know if we kill the fake baby.

And nobody wants to kill fake Junior Jr.

- Hold the head. - Hold Junior Jr.

'Cause if it cry, that's on you.

- Oh, that's nice. - So that's your baby.

Be careful. Don't you dare drop it.

Oh, don't forget to stir the noodles.

You gonna leave us with it?

Hold on. I can't open the top while holding the baby.

Here, I'll open the top while you hold the baby.

You can't put the baby on the counter!

I hear the arguments already.

Now you know the stress of new parents!

Can you hold it?

Kevin, I can't do this. Can you hold it?

I'll do the sauce. Can you hold the baby?

The baby wants you. It doesn't like me. It wants you.

Whoa, hold up. Where's the baby grandparents at?

Where's the baby's daddy? Right here.

You the baby daddy. There's your baby. You hold it.

- There you go. - Mm-hmm.

Mm-hmm.

So how about you go find your parents 'cause--

so they can take that back? Is that--

Kevin, you can't-- oh, my God.

You can't put the baby on the counter.

- Why not? - 'Cause you--

- How the baby on the counter? -Really?

-I didn't do it. - By the knife? On the counter?

Give me the baby. Lord Jesus.

Finish cooking. Give me the baby.

They had the baby on the counter!

We need to eat.

Oh, my God. They gonna kill fake Junior Jr.

I'm going to slap the piss out of that boy

if he doesn't start taking this seriously.

This is not a joke.

This is a real fake baby!

I'ma take Junior Jr. downstairs

so y'all can finish cooking so we can eat,

'cause y'all talking too much over there.

Then y'all go put the baby on the daggone counter.

How you gonna put the baby on the counter, Kevin?

'Cause the baby wasn't-- I mean--

That's baby cruelty.

I mean, hey, hey, hey, what you gonna do about it?

- You gotta-- - Really? Really?

No, no, I didn't mean it.

- You got the baby. - You got the baby in your hand.

You gonna put the baby on the counter.

Really, Kevin?

You gonna get us killed.

Bar Chix bus!

Oh, we got a pole in here!

Towanda, make sure no one gets on the pole.

Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh.

Oh, what, they got a pole in here?

- Yeah. - That's how you sit down, Aja?

- That's how I sit down. - I gotta spread first.

You don't know who hands been on here.

See?

Can I get some of that, too?

- Yeah, sure. - Thank you.

You're just, like, rolling on it.

Can you guys believe we're here?

We're not on the tour bus. It's being refurbished.

Um, I heard.

I heard about Aja and Seth

hooking up on the Bar Chix tour bus,

but that was a long time ago,

and none of that nonsense is going on tonight.

We're doing research for the bar, and that's it.

Well, the game plan is we're just going to hop a couple of bars,

just to-- we're not gonna steal their drinks,

but we're just gonna get some ideas for the bar,

and of course we're gonna look and see

how they incorporate things, the way their bar works.

We can take some pointers, or "let's not do this,"

kind of thing, so...

What about that one girl?

You got her meeting you at the bar?

Oh, there's a young lady that's going to be meeting us.

I met her at a bartending school.

But she seemed to have a lot of potential.

Now, we're gonna be good little bartenders

and bar boys-- bar chicks and bar boys, right?

Yes, we are.

Why did you look at me first?

Because we know you.

- Very confrontational. -Let's work together. Let's play nice.

Excuse me? When have I ever been confrontational with you?

- Not towards me, but everyone else. - Other girls.

I've seen firsthand

how Aja can be very confrontational with other women.

- I have a problem. -I'm sorry?

Excuse me? Yes.

Okay, my-- my question is are you just talking

or are you talking directly to me?

Nah. Nah,-- that.

She tried me on several occasions,

so but I had to put my foot down and let her know what's what,

so now we have a nice understanding.

New faces are good. Pretty new faces are good.

You're not here to date people, Aja.

We're here to have bartenders who know what they're doing

and who's going to represent the bar well, and--

They still have to be attractive.

I wish it were more of a clear night instead of all this rain.

But, you know, knowing Aja,

she'll turn it into a wet T-shirt contest or something, so...

Very true.

I'm gonna need for Seth and Aja to act like professionals.

I don't want potential new bar staff

thinking that I run a loose ship.

They have to take their job seriously

or my business will suffer and they'll be fired.

We're gonna play nice with others

and just have a good time.

What's a prewash?

Vince, you know how to do this? Can you help me?

- I wanna wash my jeans and my favorite pajamas. - Put 'em on "colors."

But it's not colors. It's jean colors.

Well, it wouldn't be whites.

Well, it wouldn't be colors.

Colors is, like, multiple-- like--

But jeans are a color. I mean, they're blue.

I think you're wrong about that.

"Sanitize." I don't wanna do that.

"Sanitize" is, like, for what? Like rags and stuff?

What's "options"? Options to do what?

Okay, do you know how to wash clothes, Damon?

- Absolutely. - You do?

- Yeah. - Is jeans "colors" or "normal"?

- They're colors. - Oh!

- Well, what makes them colors? - 'Cause they blue.

Oh, okay.

-I told you that. - Is blue a color?

Mixed colors.

So Damon is over to help me with this arrangement for one of my songs,

and thank God he is,

because he can help me with my laundry.

I mean, do I look like I can use a washing machine?

No. What is that?

-And what's the temperature? -Cold.

Press start.

It's good to go now.

Why suddenly so--

- There you go. -There you go.

It's all a computer now.

You gotta just hit one button and you good to go.

Oh, that was easy. I can wash my own clothes now.

-There you go. - I'm lying.

Everybody is loving my new single, "If I Don't Have You,"

so I'm so excited to be working with Damon,

half of the producing team of The Underdogs.

Now, we about to come up with a special arrangement

for one of my live performances.

- What part is that? - "If I Don't Have You."

It's near that "If..."

Ooh, that's high. Is it that high, the way you playing it?

- Lies! - This is the key of the song.

Who gonna sing that high?

That's the key of the song.

Yeah, that's the key of the song.

I'm not gonna be able to make that.

That's really high.

If I sing "All the Way Home" and then that...

I mean, for real, Damon just needs to stick with helping me with this laundry,

because I don't feel like singing that high.

I mean, I ain't fixin' to blow out my vocal cords.

I ain't got time for that today.

Yeah, that's definitely the key.

Coming up on "Braxton Family Values"...

Vince, you can't give us a snippet of the video?

I mean, it ain't ready yet.

I know you have it. I know you have it.

Oh, my God.

You wanna keep your work environment

drama- and stress-free.

- That was drama for you? - For her.

Oh, oh, okay.

Aja seems to be getting just a little too territorial.

I hope this doesn't get ugly.

I don't know what I've gotten myself into.

You

You supposed

You supposed to

You supposed to be

You supposed to be on

You supposed to be on your

You supposed to be on your best

You supposed to be on your best behavior.

We started this bar hopping early

because it usually gets really crowded at night.

I am always down with helping Trina

when it comes to trying out cocktails, 'cause they're delicious.

What are we drinking today, Trina?

I don't know. I need to see a drink menu.

Ooh, okay, guys. I want you to pace yourselves, okay?

The creamsicle is actually one of my specialties.

Really? I might have to try that.

- I think I want something to-- -Hey, Trina.

Hi, Shari.

- How are you? - Good to see you again.

Good to see you, too. This is my friend Rachel.

- Hi, Rachel. My sister Towanda. - Hi, Towanda. How are you?

Shari is a bartender I met recently,

and I'm really thinking about hiring her.

Shari brought her friend, Rachel, who's also a bartender,

and she is super cute, and that's great

because I'm still looking to fill eight bartender slots.

So the more options, the better.

Where are you from?

Illinois, originally. I live here now, though.

- How long have you lived in Atlanta? - Like, five years.

Oh, I worked at, like, Five Aces

where one night I was, like, so disgusted.

It was like, "I cannot do this Peasantry stuff compared to I.V."

And so, then I started doing Big Sky stuff,

which was hilarious, because...

Aja seems to be getting just a little too territorial with Rachel,

so Rachel better watch out,

because she doesn't know what she's stepping into.

Aja knows she needs to be on her best behavior,

but I hope this doesn't get ugly.

Is that a promise ring?

No. Oh, my gosh. Left hand.

Well, I know it's, like, the ring finger.

I didn't know if, like, on the right it signified anything.

I'm about to take it off.

I hate to break up the flirting situation.

Thank you.

However, I wanna go ahead and give a toast

to Bar Chix, to Trina, and to the new bar people, potentially, Trini.

Bar chicks and bar boys.

Bar people, yes.

- Potential bar people. - For citing the facts, thank you, Towanda.

- Cheers. - Clink, clink, clink, clink, clink.

Give me some love. Don't spill it.

Okay, let's hit the next bar, Trina.

I'm ready to have another drink.

You pay this round and then I'll pay at the next place.

Why I gotta pay, then?

What? What? What? I'm paying for six drinks?

What-- what the hell, Trina?

Really? I thought I was coming to help.

Yes.

Mm-hmm.

I saw that Seth was flirting, and that got on her nerves.

Well, because do you remember when we did the Grammy party...

- Yes. - Seth and Aja hooked up.

Yes, they hooked up.

- Oh, hooked up. - Yes.

But did you hear when you was like,

"Okay, I hate to stop the flirting session," Aja was like, "Uh, yeah"?

Yeah. I was wondering why she said--

Let's go. Come on. 'Cause I don't wanna leave them alone for so long.

- Come on. - Okay.

- Did you pay the tab? - I did.

- Whoo-hoo! - Shut up, Trina.

Wait, I'm having just a little sip,

'cause I don't like to drink in front of my staff.

Okay.

Chug-a-lug, chug-a-lug, chug-a, chug-a, chug-a-lug.

Chug-a-lug. Choo-choo! Ch-ch, choo-choo!

- Okay, let's go. - Okay.

Okay. How's my breath?

- It smells purpley. - Oh, okay.

I'm not gonna be able to make that.

That's really high.

This is the key of the song.

What part do you want us to focus on?

Doing, like, a verse and a chorus?

- Yeah. - And a verse and a chorus?

Yes.

I mean, it's so high,

it's different than "All the Way Home."

Yeah.

Well, I just don't remember recording the record

singing that high.

I mean, I was really in my feelings,

so, you know, I wasn't thinking about,

"Dang, that thing high, honey.

Am I gonna be able to do this every night?"

♪ 'Cause you know if I don't have you ♪

♪ I can't love no more ♪

♪ If I don't have you... ♪

♪ I'll be worth fighting for ♪

♪ I'll tear down these walls ♪

♪ That's on my life ♪

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

Beautiful.

It's always a little different.

Like, once you sing a song in the studio, then you sing it live,

it's like a different record, right?

No question.

I mean, I kind of felt like that key was a little high,

but once I started singing, honey,

I sounded like a nightingale, okay?

My Tamar-tian friends are really gonna like this arrangement

when I perform it live.

Yay.

Ooh, I can't wait. I'm "nerv-excited" about that, too.

- I wanna see it. - Have he told you about the treatment at all?

He didn't tell me anything.

The video is about me and my homegirls in a brothel, right?

- Ah! - Yes.

I been kicking it with this one dude,

because I feel like we in a relationship,

but then he shows me that we are not in a relationship.

He's just my John.

My mother's in the brothel, but she's not necessarily--

I'm gonna beat both of y'all.

- Y'all sinning. - Okay, listen.

Okay, don't you know how, like, "The Great Gatsby"

and, like, "Harlem Nights"

with, you know, the mother hen...?

Vince, you can't give us a snippet of the video?

We can't see none of the video?

I know you have it. I know you have it.

Nah. I mean, it ain't ready yet.

I cannot wait to see this video for "If I Don't Have You,"

but I'm super nervous about my mama,

because I don't know how she gonna react,

because it's taking place in a brothel, honey.

- So we're good. - Okay.

Yeah.

Where is my money?

I knew-- how can you say it?

Singing the song.

♪ Give me my money, money ♪

♪ Honey ♪

♪ I done worked every day this week ♪

♪ I'ma need my coin ♪

♪ My credit card, babe ♪

♪ And my card know you better have it made ♪

♪ Why you wanna sing that to me? ♪

♪ Can't you see how you're living, baby? ♪

Well, try, then.

♪ Baby, you know ♪

♪ I gave you Logan. ♪

What?! Oh, you try, my life.

Bye, Vince.

I gave you Logan.

The research part of this adventure is going pretty well,

but introducing the potential bartenders

to the veteran bar chicks

isn't going as smoothly as I anticipated.

You never been to a pole-dancing class?

- No, I need to. - I had a blast. I just can't twerk.

You know how to twerk?

- Me? - Yeah.

- Yes. You wanna see? - No.

You gonna have to show me.

I'm not getting up to twerk.

Trina, we all know you can shake that thing.

I'ma leave that at home.

But you do wanna see your boss twerk,

but it's not professional.

There's that gray line about fraternizing and sexual harassment.

It's more like a dotted line for you, Seth.

Those spaces in between.

You wanna keep your work environment drama- and stress-free.

So you think that was drama for you?

Not for me. For-- for her.

Wow.

I've learned that you don't crap where you eat,

because you end up eating crap.

These are supposed to be my veterans,

and they're acting like hormonal teenagers

in front of people that they just met.

Aja has that look in her eye,

and this is gonna get really bad.

Is this always gonna be like this?

Seth, Aja: No!

We're just having a conversation.

- Is that what that is? - This is a heated debate.

- This is how you have a conversation? - Yes, this is how.

- Ooh! Sexual tension. -I'm chillin'.

- Absolutely no-- - Cut it with a knife, right?

Absolutely no sexual tension.

- How are you today? - Ooh, well, calm down.

- Oh! - Wow, that fast, right?

- Okay. - I'm just changing--

- I'm changing the subject. - All right, great!

I'm turning my attentions somewhere else.

Oh, my God. I think we're at our next bar.

Ages ago. Ages.

Enough to be forgotten.

Forgettable, rememberable.

Oh, oh, okay. Oh, oh, okay.

This is going way to the left.

Professionalism. Hello.

We're not gonna have that conversation,

'cause we're not gonna-- this is the real world,

so I'm not gonna put your-- out there.

Right. Right, Seth. Please.

I've worked with Seth and Aja for almost two years,

and I've never seen them like this.

I'm kind of in shock. Like, speechless.

They're supposed to be setting an example for my new staff,

setting the bar, and this is not it.

I don't know what I've gotten myself into.

That is hilarious.

Coming up on "Braxton Family Values"...

I'm trying to wait for me. I'm trying to be patient.

What, you want me to fast forward to your part?

- That would be nice. - You tried it?

- Yeah. - So you don't wanna see me in my music video.

Oh.

Okay,

Okay, it's

Okay, it's "flow-acious,"

Okay, it's "flow-acious," honey.

She got that good Malaysian hair.

You can still get a good pack hair and add it in.

I don't even know what any of that means.

I'm still doing my satellite radio show. Yes, honey.

We about to start a two-hour live show in about five minutes.

- And you didn't even invite us? - Screaming like a girl.

- That's so disrespectful. - Now, see, first of all--

What's that?

- I can't-- - Take him where?

- I can't right now. - I'm working.

- Oliviah's at work. - How you gonna go in my job?

Take the baby.

We're going live on the air in two minutes,

and Kevin bring damn Junior Jr. up in here.

This is some bull!

- Thank you. - This is not kosher.

- This is so disrespectful. - Thank you.

I told you you're too young to be parents.

What-- what the hell just happened, Traci?

What

What the

What the hell

What the hell just

What the hell just happened,

What the hell just happened, Traci?

- Kevin and Oliviah is engaged. - Right.

So I said, "Well, since y'all getting engaged,

y'all might as well have a baby."

So I gave him a baby, her and him a baby.

But you gonna drop the baby off to me?

I am not a babysitter.

I'm a professional. I got jobs now.

And being a grandmamma isn't one of 'em.

How long have they had the baby?

- Only a day. - A day?

- Yes! - Uh-uh, and he just dropped the baby off.

Yo, so, Kevin couldn't handle a day? Like, really?

One day.

Here you go. Go to your godmother, Junior Jr.

I mean, it really proves your point, Trace.

It really proves your point that he's not ready.

Right. They don't need to get married.

- That he's not ready yet. - They not ready.

And then they not-- they saying they not having sex,

but they been together for four years.

Somebody's chafed.

Somebody has to use Desitin between they legs or something like that.

I don't believe it.

I'm going to send Junior Jr. back to the factory,

because I didn't do this to put more stress on me.

I knew they wouldn't be able to handle real adult responsibilities,

but now I have proof.

This is the "Traci Takeover" plus one.

One the radio with the baby.

- On the radio, right. - I can't believe this.

On my job.

Thanks, Traci.

I gotta call my son.

He needs to come and get this baby.

- Hey, love. - Right here?

- I'll sit here. - And I'll sit here.

Ooh.

How y'all doing?

- What's up, man? - Y'all all right?

Chillin', man. Chillin'.

What's your special? Do you have a menu?

I'll take-- I'll take a gang-bang tonight.

- Hey, Trina. How you doing? - Hi, Michael.

- Long time. - How are you, love?

Good, good. I'd like you to meet my friend Jess right here.

Hi, Jessica. Trina. Nice to meet you.

Michael really caught my eye at the bartending school

with his mixology knowledge.

'Cause I do a lot more craft bartending

and molecular mixology,

so I like to do, like, advanced presentations.

I like to do menus. I do menus for a lot of places I've worked for.

And I think he'd be a great addition to the bar boys.

He's young, he's attractive,

and he's really easy to get along with.

We should do some shots right now.

Oh, I don't think that's something

that I wanna just kinda delve into at hello.

-You bartend, too? - I do bartend.

- Nice. - In the Bahamas and whatnot.

I'm from the Bahamas and that, so...

I just moved to Atlanta, you know.

Take your hood off. Let's get a good look.

I don't wanna let my pretty hair loose.

We need to get a good look, right?

Yes! Eye candy.

Why were you hiding that?

Oh!

Michael could give Seth some healthy competition.

Not only will my customers get exotic premium liquors,

imported beers, and fine wines,

but also the hottest, the most talented bar boys in Atlanta.

- I think I saw a dance floor when we first came in. - I'm a lightweight.

Towanda got them dance moves. Y'all don't even know.

We're gonna let these people get gang-banged.

Let's get gang-banged, bitches!

Who else getting gang-banged?

- Hey, Mama. - Hey, little lady. How are you?

What you doing, beautiful? Yes, your face is-- mwah, mwah.

I can't even kiss you, it's so dusty.

I know, girl. Don't I look good?

- Yeah, you do. - I know, I know. You, too.

- Bless your heart. - You enjoy this?

- Oh, yeah. Oh, yeah. - I'm glad. Thank you.

Oh, I finally got my hands

on my soon-to-be, hopefully-number-one music video,

"If I Don't Have You,"

and I do not know how my mom is gonna react to the brothel concept,

but, baby, I love it.

I wanted you to see yourself in my new video

before you see it for a premiere.

Let me see it.

You dusty then and you're dusty now.

No, girl. Tell me your plan. Is it all of that?

Yes. And I don't mean, like, "dusty" as in ashy, old.

I mean like, yes, face come through.

I was so honored that Tamar asked me to be in her music video.

It was so fun to shoot and everyone looked so pretty.

I can't wait to see the video,

but I'm sure it turned out beautiful.

- That would be nice. - You tried it.

So you don't wanna see me in my music video,

just the part that you wanted--

You know I want to see you.

- Oh. - But you said you want me to see me.

Well, it's not gonna fast forward.

Oh, okay. I can wait. I got patience.

You tried it a little bit.

Coming up on "Braxton Family Values"...

Well, you know, that's what they used to do in a brothel, Mom.

You had me in what?

I don't think so, Tami. Should have told me.

You better run.

Yes.

I'll be able to catch you a stepdad.

But I said the same thing.

You definitely gonna get you one from this.

Oh, yeah, I look good.

Okay.

That's nice.

Well, you know, that's what they used to do in a brothel, Mom.

- In a what? - A brothel.

Oh.

Oh, child, Mama definitely doesn't get it.

Like, "Yes, Evelyn, you are in a brothel, darling."

I was a little upset. I'm like, "Wait a minute."

And then I look like the madam

because I'm the oldest one in there?

I don't think so, Tami. Should have told me.

I mean, I hope she not, you know, too upset about,

you know, her being in a brothel.

It's not like she playing a ho or nothing.

I'm playing the ho.

You just, you know, the ho's-- ho friend.

Wait a minute.

You got me in a video in a house of ill repute?

Is that what it is?

I-- I didn't know it was a whorehouse.

Who knew? You had me in what?

Wait a minute. You better run.

How I'm gonna get you a stepfather like that, in a whorehouse?

Well, that way he know what you doing.

- Tamar. - Ma'am.

Girl...

Clearly Aja is being inappropriate on the dance floor

just to make Seth jealous.

This turned into complete and utter drunken debauchery.

Both the veterans and the newbies are out of control.

And Towanda, "the responsible one,"

is absolutely no help.

I don't know if Michael is being serious or not

when he's talking about "linking,"

and I'm not quite sure what "linking" means.

You know what I mean? I might have to ask him.

Child...

Child, why don't you go and dance with the girls?

There's a lot of potential in this group,

but if they're gonna behave like they did tonight,

that could be a complete fiasco.

But I'm not gonna confront them right now,

because they've clearly had way too many drinks.

If I hire these guys,

I definitely need to set some boundaries.

This cannot be going on. Not in my bar.
