Hi, everybody.
I'm Towanda Braxton.

I've never hosted
the show before,

but I know
I'm a natural.

I am so excited
to be a part of My Lyrics.

Yes.

Trina is grown.
She's real grown,

- but she's been
through so much.
- Yes, ma'am.

She all goo-goo eyed.
We not, though.

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

Wow!
That fast, right?

My Bar Chix grand opening
is coming up really fast.

And I'm still looking
for bartenders to hire.

Both the veterans
and the newbies
are out of control.

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

♪ We are the Braxtons
and you'll see ♪

♪ That we are just like
an ordinary family ♪

♪ Toni, Traci,
Towanda, Trina ♪

♪ Tamar, and Miss E will ♪

♪ Teach you
a thing or two ♪

♪ On "Braxton Family Values." ♪

Mm. It smells
like eggs out here.

It smells like
a big ol' guy.

I wanna sit
right here.

It smells
like a, um, uh...

- Nice, lovely.
Thank you, Towanda.
- Yeah.

So, I've been in Atlanta
working on my album,

but I'm heading home
to L.A. tomorrow.

So I asked Trina,
Towanda, and Traci

if they all wanted to meet up
for some cocktails.

You ever felt like
you've earned a cocktail?

Well, how have you
earned this cocktail--

'Cause I've
been working hard.

Sophia's home.

Trina, what do you
suggest for us
to drink?

- You know what, I--
- The Moscow Mule,
I'm telling you.

While I love Moscow Mules
and we have lots of them
on the menu at Bar Chix,

I'm just saying
I think I want
a Caipirinha.

I don't know
what that is.

I really need
a drink right now,

because opening
my new restaurant

is stressing me out.

There's too much
going on,

and I'm planning
a party later in the week
to test out my menu

and my potential bar chicks
and my bar boys.

So I'm bringing
a driver to Bar Chix,

and I want all of you
to be there.

Yes. Yay, Trina.

Cheers!

To Trina!

I'm excited about
my potential new staff

because they're all eager
and skilled and attractive.

They did get wild
when we were checking out bars.

But I still think
they show a lot of promise.

And serving my family
will be the ultimate test.

-Oh.
-Yeah.

Mm-mm.

- Damn.
- That's the smell
that I smelled.

That is so annoying.

Y'all stop it.

I think
they're mating.

- That's not
what that means.
-Mm-hmm.

-I mean
they doing it?
- Mating calls.

Why you gotta
call it "doing it"?

Well, they finished
that fast?

Damn frogs,
that was fast.

That was like
four seconds.

Everybody finish
at the same time?

- It was a little longer
than four seconds.
- That's nasty.

- A couple of them still going.
-They going back
at it now.

And speaking of
knocking booties,

how is that Jacent
doing?

Your knight
in shining armor.

Oh, Traci's "midnight
in shining armor."

'Cause that lover
is smoke, honey.

He was smoke.

That's his
nickname.

Midnight--
Towanda, Towanda.

He was a Choco Taco!

Whoo!

Are y'all gonna
keep on having
all these little--

- Dark chocolate milk,
not a 'nilla.
- Whoop.

I am never gonna share
anything else with you guys
again in life.

"Famous Angus."

Ooh!

Oh, God!

Chocolate's
good for you.

Though be careful.
That thing break you out.

You know what,
I'm about to jump
in that pond.

I'm about to get
what they got.

Like, this is
ridiculous.
Again?

- Ribbit!
- Who has time for that
anymore right now?

- Lies! I do!
- What?

What are you
talking about?

I just-- I'm just busy,
and I like being busy.

Yeah, you can be busy--
let me tell you--

but you better be busy
getting busy, okay?

- You are single.
- You are married.

So I can't be busy
gettin' busy.

I'm telling--
you are single.

You better go out there
and get your life, okay?

Now is the time
to be a ho.

No.

You just date
until you find out

what kind
of eggs you like.

If I was Trina,
you know,

I-- I'd-- I'd
be a ho right now.

You know,
I'm just sayin'.

I mean, Jacent
must be Mandingo

for her to stop,
you know, dating everybody?

Everybody off--

All of my options?

He got everything
I need like that?

He-- he must be
putting it down.

But if I was her,
I'd have about four
or five boyfriends.

On Monday, Tuesday,
Wednesday, Thursday,
Friday boyfriends.

Listen, you
can date guys.

You don't have to
open your legs.

- Lies.
- You just date.

You do not
have to open
your legs!

No, thank you.

I still got
the new scent
up one me.

Y'all better stop acting
like you're a virgin,
Traci and Towanda.

I am a virgin.
I'm a newborn virgin.

But let me
tell you something...

I got low mileage.

Trina need to
go get her life.

Date as many people
as you'd like.

There's nothing
wrong with that.

No, I'm not dating.
You're right.

Don't let nobody
make you feel
like you have

like, you know, limitations.

Yeah.

Okay, enough
about Trina.

Towanda,
what's up
with you?

Ooh!

We don't ever
talk about Towanda
and Andre.

Oh, we wanna
talk about that.

Me, too.

Toni wanted us
to call her.

You see how
she try to change
the subject?

Do you see
the subject change?

You better stop
spilling your tea
to Towanda

till she spill hers
to yours.

I believe I know
Towanda's tea.

Towanda's the whole box--
she is Celestial Seasonings.

She is Teavana.

She love that man,
there, boy.

Towanda.

Towanda,
y'all be Skyping?

Y'all be sex Skyping?

Hi, Toni.

Toni, I had--
I had to ask
a question.

I asked Towanda did her
and Andre "sex type."

- "Skype."
- Sex Skype.

She don't know
what that is.

Toni, I'm gonna tell you,
when you get your man,

I'm gonna tell you
how to do him,
say I set it up.

Girl, Tamar is crazy,
but, listen--

Don't you find it hard
to believe that Towanda
know the tea on everybody--

Why are you
listening to Tamar?

- But nobody knows
the tea on her and Andre!
- Tamar, it is not about me.

- It is not about me.
- Nobody knows about
her or Andre.

- She don't never
talk about her or Andre.
- I can't hear my sister.

I can't hear my sister.
I can't hear my sister.

I can't hear my sister Toni.
I can't hear my sister Toni.

You can't hear
your sister Tamar.

♪ ...hear your sister,
Tamar ♪

♪ I can't hear my sister,
sister, sister, Toni ♪

♪ Toni, Toni,
Toni, Toni, Toni ♪

♪ Toni, Toni, Toni,
Toni, Toni. ♪

- Aah!
- Toni?

Hello?

That's because
she heard you,
Tamar.

No, 'cause you was not tryin'
to talk about you and your man.

That ain't it.

These are the most
"doin' it" frogs

I've ever heard
in my life.

They stop
and keep going.

They stop and keep--
you know what?

- Hey, you.
- Hey, baby cake.

- What you cooking?
- Um, I'm cooking
these ribs.

I don't want them
to go bad.

Oh, yeah, that's right,
'cause they've been
in there for a minute.

- You know what I was
just thinking about?
- What?

Toni don't rinse
her meat off.

Toni don't rinse her meat?

No, she don't
rinse her meat off.

She said you're
not supposed to
rinse your meat off.

Who told her that?

I've always seen you
rinse your meat.

'Cause you know what,
I'm just that way.

I'm...

Well, why wouldn't you
rinse your meat off?

That's disgusting.

What about
"salmon manila"?

Ooh.

Not that I was
ear-hustling.

You-- you
were ear-hustling.

Um... but I heard
Daddy's trying
to meet up with Jacent.

What do you think
that means?

Uh...

Aren't you afraid
that if they get
too deep,

like, he might
take it too serious?

That he might,
you know, pop a ring?

That's his problem.

Trina's not going
to say "I do."

Mark my words.

Wh-why you say that?

Trina's just
trying to get through

from day to day.

And if it takes
a friend of hers

or whomever,
to take her out,
to make her laugh,

she's gonna take that.

But don't take the ring?

You know, these days I've been
trying to keep to my business.

But if Jacent
had a meeting
with my dad,

it could only mean,
you know, one thing--

he wanna get married.

Uuuhh.

Tamar, you want me
to put a top on this?

Yes, will you, plea-- oh.

Oh, thank God.

- Who's in their underwear?
- Hi!

Hi, Logan!

Are you running
with a pen? Lies!

Why you acting
like you always
out of breath?

You just work
three jobs?

You got a family
to take care of?

I am!

- I'll get a top.
- Okay, get a top.

Besides,
I have some things
I have to do.

Can I turn this down?

Yeah, I just did,
but you can turn it down
some more.

No, I'm gonna
put the top on.

It might go over
a little bit.

Why you asking me?
You're the chef.

- I ain't never
heard of that, Logan.
-Yeah, that's true.

Yeah.

Mom's the chef, yay, yay.
Right, Logan?

Uh-huh.

Some of the exercises
that we do

will not necessarily--

- Hey, pretty lady.
- Hi.

Don't step on my drink.

Welcome, welcome, welcome.

I'm not late,
I'm not late.

Since Trina and I
have a teeny-tiny break

from being Toni's
background singers,

I am able to get back
into my passion,

which is acting,

and I'll be performing

at the Atlanta Black
Theatre Festival. Yay!

I'm actually doing
a monologue from the book

"I Want My Vagina Back!"

by Dr. Pamela Love.

What I'd like to do

is just have each of us do

just a paragraph
from your piece.

I've been doing
the singing thing,

the family business
of singing,

doing everything
that everybody in the family

was doing for a while,

and that just
did not fulfill me.

You know what I mean?

Um, so I feel
just... relieved

that I'm actually doing
something that I want to do

and not that the whole family
expects you to do.

"I grew up a lot of--

around a lot
of divorced women,

and so I heard
a lot of negative talk
about marriage.

My mom and her five sisters

were constantly talking
about cheating husbands

or 'the other women.'

Said the only thing
you could depend
on a man

was for his money
and his erect penis."

Okay, good.

Towanda.

"You know how you can

take merchandise back
to some stores within 30 days

and either exchange it
or...

have"-- I'm sorry.
I'll start over

because I haven't
really memorized it.
Sorry.

Okay, I can't deny it.
It's a little bit of pressure

to be dramatic
when you're talking
about your vagina,

and any woman would feel
a bit awkward about it,

but this is a very
well-respected play,

and I want to honor it by giving
the best performance I can.

So I'm a little... anxious.

"With my experience,
it made me want to call
the guy up and say,

'You know what,

that merchandise that you
gave me the other day, mm-mm.

I took it home, and I thought
it would be a good fit,

but it wasn't.

And I really want
a refund, please.'"

We don't have to be
specific characters.

You're yourselves
reading these experiences

that these women have had.

Use your nervousness.
I love it.

That will help you
to enjoy what you're doing.

It means
that you're present.

But-- but don't
let it take over you.

Just be yourself.

I've been helping Trina
so much with Bar Chix

that I just recently
learned my material.

I know I have
a lot of preparing to do,

but I know I can do it.

That's that.

Thank you, guys, so much.

- This is great.
- Thank you.

- Hey, how you doing?
- Hey, Jacent, how you doing?

I'm doing all right.
Good to see you again.

Yeah. Back in
Atlanta again.

Yes, sir.

Well, I wanted to,
uh, meet with you today,

of course, because of Trina.

I kinda figured
it was about Trina.

So, uh...
what about Trina?

She-- she's special.

Oh, I know
she's very special.

You know, it's--
it's important to me

to make sure that
the people she loves
accept me.

- This is the thing here--
I'm very respectable.
- Mm-hmm.

And I want to
come to you as a man

and see how you feel,
you know?

I want your blessing.

Coming up on
"Braxton Family Values"...

You look pretty.
Are you nervous?

Trina, I'm gonna
need you to stop trying
to make me nervous.

- I gotta go.
- I love you.
Do great.

Any moment now,

the real guests, my family,
they're coming in.

If I can make them happy,
I can make anyone happy.

I can't lie.
I don't like that.

This is the thing here--

- I'm very respectable.
- Mm-hmm.

And I want to
come to you as a man

and see how you feel,
you know?

I want your blessing.

She's vulnerable right now.

And, honestly, Jacent,

I don't want you
to take advantage

of her vulnerability.

Growth takes time.

So...

This is, um,
this is different.

You know, Jacent,
it's gonna be
up to Trina.

I definitely want
to keep this conversation
between me and you.

To me, I got the most
beautiful girls
in the world.

- Okay?
- Mm-hmm.

And I love them all.

I'm gonna tell you,
you mess with my daughters,

you know-- you know
the hood gonna
come out on me.

I'm telling you now.

I don't blame you
with that one.

It's Tri.

Come in.

Ooh! Look at you!

Trini.

You have lipstick
on your teeth.
You look so pretty!

Yes. Body-snatched.

Oh, this ol' thing?

Do you always
have to show your butt
everywhere you go?

Yes, my butt
and my cheeks.

- You look pretty.
- Thank you, Trini.

Are you nervous?

Can you move this stuff
out of the way?

- Say it again?
- Are you nervous?

I'm not sure if that--
is that a yes?

No, you never
look nervous.

Trina has been
so super-duper busy
with Bar Chix,

but I am so excited
that she came out
to support me.

It means so much to me,

but, Trina,
I'm gonna need you

to stop trying
to make me nervous.

- I gotta go.
- I love you. Do great.
I know you will.

This is a major event

with over 40 plays
and performances

over one weekend.

So, this is, like,
a huge, big deal.

And by me
doing well tonight,

I'm gonna get
a lot of opportunities

to do a lot
of different things.

And everybody's gonna
really realize

that I am serious
about my craft.

Now, if I don't remember
or do my thing

the way that I'm
supposed to do my thing,

ain't nobody gonna call me.

Welcome, everybody.

I want you
to sit back

and then when it gets good,
as George C. Wolfe said,

I want you
to lean forward.

Have you ever had sex...

and after it was over,

you wanted to say,
"Is that it?!"

You have got
to be kidding me!

What do you say to a guy
when he asks,

"Baby, was it
good for you--

ugh!--

as it was for me?"

Instead of me sayin',
"Hell, no!

Hell, no!"

I lie.

And I say, "Mm-hmm.

Yeah.
That was good!

You the man!"

You know I've--
I've apologized

to my vagina
several times.

But I--
I really don't think

that it's fully
forgiven me.

Towanda was so awesome.

And she's been there
so much for me lately

with my divorce
and with Bar Chix.

So I'm glad
that I can share
this moment with her.

I'll admit
I was a little skeptical

about a bunch of women
onstage

talking about
their vaginas,

but it was very inspiring.

My vagina
feels very empowered
right now.

It was really good.
It was, like,
really, really good.

- Oh, thank you.
- Like super good.

I was like, "You
nasty little worm."

Well, thanks.

Trina, it wasn't
about him.

It was a monologue, Trina.

Trina is hilarious.

I can't believe
she really thought

that my monologue was inspired
by my husband, Andre.

Actually, that's
a huge compliment,

thank you very much,
Trina Braxton,

because that meant
that I was in my element

and that meant
that she believed
my performance.

Ha! I deserve
an Oscar or an Emmy.

I am very happy
to do my part

in representing
all vaginas everywhere.

Trina's opening up
a restaurant, guys.

Well, no,
this is your moment.
No, no.

We'll talk about that later.
This is Towanda's moment.

No, you need to stop.

Tonight is my dry-run opening
for Bar Chix.

And, unfortunately,
I can't have it

at the Bar Chix
restaurant location

because I'm still
having issues

getting my inspections

and getting
everything completed.

But regardless
of where we are,

I expect all
of my staff members

to be respectful
and professional
at all times.

Just on this level.

Bar chick: Okay.

- Okay.
- Move your thumb.
Yeah, move it.

Or your thumb
will be in the way.

There you go.
A little faster.

Am I seeing shots being poured
before we start working?

We just waking up
a little bit.

I need every--
I need everybody.

Tonight's event is to see
how ready my staff is

for the actual bar opening

and for guests
to sample a few items
from my menu.

I've only invited
Mommy and my sisters

and just a couple
of other close friends.

And if the staff can't handle
a crowd this size,

then they're not
gonna make the cut.

Just a couple
of ground rules here.

Now, even though that we're
giving everybody a sample

of what's happening
at Bar Chix,

remember this
is not our bar.

So we have
to maintain respect
for the owners, okay?

Now, tonight we're
not offering the full bar

and we're not doing
full service of food.

We're only doing
the signature drink,

which is the
"Purple People Eater."

The "Purple People Eater"
is my own creation,

but I still need
to test it out

before I decide
if I'll put it
on the final menu.

I wish I could serve

more than one
cocktail option tonight,

but buying ingredients
for multiple drinks

starts to get
very expensive.

And I haven't made
any money from this yet.

All right, guys,
let's set up.

Go ahead
and set up the bar.

We're gonna start
with the bar boys
behind the bar first.

The girls
are gonna circulate,

- and then we're gonna go ahead
and interchange out.
- Okay.

- Bar boy: Perfect.
-Thank you
so much, guys.

- I'll see you
in a little bit.
- Bar boy: Let's do it.

How are
we doing?

Pour it down.

One, two, three, stop.

What are you--?
Why you be pulling away
from me and--?

Because you don't
have no right to touch me.

Like someone really
trying to have you.

You acting extra basic
right now.

Basic?

Boo! Whoa. Pause.

Let's get
something clear here.

Ain't nobody basic
around here but you.

You the one
who walkin' around--
why you? Why...?

- Extra "basic."
- What is up with that?

Oh, no!

No, boo,
don't play yourself.

If I had that skinny ass,
I'd bust that down, boy.

No, boo, you wouldn't
know what to do with it
if you had it.

Don't play yourself.
Good-bye.

Boom!

Anyway...

Where's Trina?
Where's Trina?

- That usually works.
- Where's Trina?

Yes, Shari?

- Trina,
I respect your bar...
- Uh-huh?

But grease monkey?
It's not working.

Okay, we're not
gonna name-call.

Michael.
Can the both of you
step over here for a second?

I'm not doing it.

Good grief!
Now what?

Coming up on
"Braxton Family Values"...

Hey, how are you?

Oh, wait a minute. Hold up.
You touching a little
bit too much.

This little beard-headed boy

just grabbed a handful
of my little cookies.

He touched me on my butt.

I didn't expect to be
firing anybody tonight,

but I feel like
I don't have a choice.

Michael?

Can the both of you
step over here
for a second?

I'm not doing it.

The dynamic between
some of my bar chicks
and bar boys

is really starting
to concern me.

I turn my back
for two minutes

and they are
after each other,

and I've got
two teenagers at home.

Why am I dealing
with this at work?

What's going on?

So, here's
the thing--

Michael has
a touching issue

that I don't think
he's aware of.

I think she just
has a crush on me.
That's it.

'Cause I'm pretty
like that.

We'll just leave that
where it is.

Michael,
keep your hands
to yourself.

Oh, definitely, definitely.

Wait a minute.
If you guys
cannot play nice,

then don't play
together.

- Right.
- You're grown,
you are grown.

We shouldn't have to have
this conversation already.

- This is pretty bad.
- Maintain your distance. Okay.

It's like dealing
with children.

I think I diffused
that situation pretty quickly.

I give myself an A-plus

for nipping that
potential issue in the bud.

Now, these incidents
are going to pop up
from time to time,

which is why
I have a manager, Sandra.

Sandra is the manager
at Bar Chix.

Uh-oh.

So, she'll be looking
and evaluating as well.

I'll be
on your good side.

You think?

Any moment now,

the real guests,
my family,

they're coming in.

So I want you guys
to be on your best behavior.

Why you looking
at me like that?

- I'll look
at everybody.
- Okay.

And who-- who made
this drink for her?

I did.

But this is not
the signature drink.

This is not what
we are serving tonight.

Does this look like
what we're serving tonight?

No, ma'am.

I put cranberry in it.
That might be the difference.

Let's stick to the plan.

-
I have a question.
- Okay.

What if your family
asks for something else?

Give them a
Purple People Eater.

Got it.

But there's no
cranberry juice
in it.

There's no
cranberry juice in it.

Mine is purple.

That one's blue.
Mine is purple.

Well, we got
our hands full,
don't we?

Yes, you do have
your hands full.

These children
are making me crazy.

I swear, if we can
get through tonight

without any major incidents,
it'll be a miracle.

Who do you think
you'd have more fun with?

Who's gonna cook for you?
Massage your shoulders.

You cook?
Do you cook?

He's tryin' to
kick you with some
cool stuff right now.

I'm trying to
take you skydiving.

I spy out of the corner
of my little eye

Jessica flirting with Seth.

And I really hope A.J.

doesn't let her
jealous emotions take over

and start something
with Jessica.

Especially since
Seth and A.J.

had a little thing going.

- Oh, my God!
- Ages ago. Ages.

Enough to be forgotten.

Forgettable?

Remember...

Oh, okay.
Oh, okay.

Oh, my gosh.

I already know this
is going to be a train wreck.

-Jessica?
- Mm-hmm?

You know not to open
the dishwasher

when it's on.

Look, like,
I'm not a child.

- No one's calling--
- The thing was

I did not know it was on.
It is what it is.

We just need
to be cautious
about everybody else,

'cause you've got
ten other people
standing back here--

Wait. What are
y'all mad about
right now?

- I'm sorry.
- Nobody's mad
about anything.

I'm just saying,
like, you know better

than to open
the dishwasher
when it's going.

I'm asking her
a question.

- When you open
the dishwasher--
- I have a timer.

- Oh, so you're gonna walk away?
- Yeah, I'm done talking.

Hold on, hold on.

- I'm done talking.
- She's a child.

- So, what is the problem?
- No, you're a child.

No, I'm asking her a question.
I asked her a question.

It's been really
touch and go with this crew

and their raging hormones
and sexual tensions.

And I just pray to God
they can keep it together,

especially in front
of my family.

- Hey, Mommy.
- Hey, lady.

Kisses.

- Hey, Tri.
- Hey, monster.

Tri!

- Hey, Trina.
- Hey-lo.

- All right.
- Hey, Tra-ray.

Hey.

Okay. Showtime.

Now that my family is here,

the real test begins.

So, if I can make them happy,
I can make anyone happy.

Okay, so, of course
this isn't the grand opening
of Bar Chix,

but it's a dry run,
because we're gonna test

these new bar chicks
and bar boys to see
how they do...

-Oh, good.
- ...in an intimate setting,

before I push them
into a more formal setting.

-Let me
ask you a question.
-That's smart.

You hired
all them already?

Well, they're--
no one is official yet.

So I'm trying them out
to see who makes the cut
and who doesn't.

Got it.

I want y'all's
first reaction.

We all know
we are sisters,

and we know people
at hello.

And you can feel
people's energy and vibe--

like, mm, no, no, no.
Yes, yes, yes, yes.

The bar boys look good,
they look sexy...

especially that one guy...

Yeah. Mm.

He was a super, super
yummy snowflake.

They're only supposed to make
one signature drink,

which is like
the house drink
for Bar Chix.

-Which is?
- It's called a "Purple
People Eater."

- Okay.
- "Purple People Eater."

Yes, so I want
you guys to ask them
to make other drinks.

So I can see
what they say

and see how they
handle themselves
under pressure.

Okay.

And I also want to see
how they serve drinks

and serve the food.

- Oh, we got food?
- You got fried chicken?

- No fried chicken, Traci.
- No chicken? Still?

My sisters are
the biggest critics

of everything I do.

And they're especially
opinionated about my menu.

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

'Cause this is country.
It's southern tapas.

Trin, you bein' racist.

I promised myself

I wouldn't let them
get to me tonight.

But, of course, I want them
to love everything.

I don't know why Trina
refuses to add fried chicken.

Like, she has a black man.

You might as well
just have chicken.

He likes chicken.

He wants chicken, too.

- I want y'all
to meet them first.
-Question, ma'am.

Mommy, go first,
Mommy, go first.

- We're just saying hi?
- Yeah, we're just saying hi.

I have recruited the hottest
and rowdiest bartenders

in all of Georgia.

And I want to keep
every single one of them,

but I do need to make sure
that they can be molded.

If they're able to resist
my persistent sisters,

then they'll get
a big gold star from me.

- Hi, darling
pretty girl.
- Hi.

Hey, how are you?

Oh, wait a minute.
Hold up.

You touchin'
a little bit too much.

Hey, man, this is--
this is spoken for.

Coming up on
"Braxton Family Values"...

Do you understand
what I'm saying?

- You either want--
- Can't no-- body
punk me right now!

I'll-- smack
the-- out of anyone

in the-- building!

What the hell
just happened?

Hey,

Uh-huh?
They're all married.

- All of them?
- Really?

- Yes.
- You have not one
single sister?

No. Toni Braxton.

- Toni?
- Yes.

That's the one
I got a crush on.

You have absolutely
no idea, baby.

- That's a big negative.
- She has absolutely
no idea.

No. You're a five.
You're a five, E.J.

I'm 28 years old.
I'm pushing 30.

Oh, my goodness.

This child thinks
he can bag himself
a Toni Braxton?

- I'm gonna ask her.
- You know what,
you do that.

Don't--block on me
if she agree to it.

I promise she won't.

Okay, we'll see.

- Hi.
- Hi, darling
pretty girl.

- How're you doin'?
- Hi, how are you?

Oh, wait a minute.
Hold up.

You touchin'
a little bit too much.

Hey, man, this is--
this is spoken for.

He touched me
on my butt.

This little
beard-headed boy

just grabbed a handful
of my little cookies.

I mean, I know
I'm lookin' blah these days

in this new body
and everything,

but restrain thineself.

See that?
Now they look better.

The boss lady said
that we're just doin', um,

the "Purple People Eaters"
for tonight.

- I'm sorry.
- But my mom can have
a Diet Coke.

- Do you want a napkin?
- You can leave it on the table.

- Thank you.
- Sure.

Hey, Seth, can you
do me a favor?

Yes.

Want me to move
the chair?

Cheers to Bar Chix.

No, he failed.
He already failed.

Why, what happened?

She said, "Can you
get me a--"

I said, "Can you
make me a Lemon Drop

on the side?"

Let me tell you something,
I knew my boy Seth

would take care of me.

He may not have passed
Trina's test,

but he passed mine.

I say keep him,

'cause he gonna
make the customer happy.

He might come back and say,
"We don't have it."

I like him. I like
that he gonna do it anyway.

But that was a fail,
that was a fail.

I would like
something else.

This is, um...

I can't lie. I--
I don't like that.

Can you put that
on the table?

No, I don't.

- Tastes like Kool-Aid.
- Thank you!

It's supposed
to taste like Kool-Aid.

You want it
to taste like that?

It tastes like
grape Kool-Aid.

The "Purple People Eater"
tasted like Kool-Aid.

Actually, no,
not Kool-Aid.

The Flavor Aid,
which is the discounted
version of the Kool-Aid.

I don't know what's in
the "Purple People Eater,"

but it is really good.

It is so delicious.

It's absolutely terrible.
It tastes like Robitussin.

Not good.

The meatballs look good.

Oh, can I get
one of those, too?

- Thank you!
-I want one.

Thanks, Seth.
Thank you.

-Can I
get that, too?
-Definitely.

- Can I get an Incredible Hulk?
-Trina, let it go.

Let it go.
Let it go.
Let it go.

Everybody's
teachable.

Everybody.

Although I'm extremely happy
that I got my Lemon Drop,

it did seem a bit easy

for them to go
against Trina's orders.

And she's clearly still
trying to be the tough boss

and trying
to flex those muscles,

so I'm just gonna help them

get back on
the straight and narrow.

-
Hey, ladies.
- Hey.

Let me tell you
a little secret.

Even though y'all supposed
to make signature drinks,

if your guests ask
for something else,

say, "You know what,
let me check the bar.

Let me see what we have."

Pull Trina to the side
and ask her if it's okay

to specifically
fix a drink
for that person.

Just a little tip.

I'll take that one.

Bar Chix is 100%
Trina's business venture.

100% Trina's.

But I've been by her side
through a lot of it,

and I've invested my time
and my efforts, too, okay?

So I am going to jump in
with a firm hand

whenever Trina needs me.

Mama, can I taste
that slaw and that biscuit

right there with the...

This is the food?

- Thank you.
- It's better when

you put
the coleslaw
on there.

Right. That's what
I'm talking about,

the slaw in there.

Gotta put
the slaw on.

- It's pretty good.
- Mm-hmm.

A little more spicy.

Okay.

Mommy is picky, y'all.

Okay, so if they say
they didn't like the food

and if they say
they don't like the drinks,

I guess I'm not
gonna be surprised

because my family
are very tough critics.

But I still can't help
but feel disappointed

because everything
I'm serving tonight

was selected
especially for them.

So these
are the people?

Well, right now,
it's still a trial basis.

Okay.

- Trina, Can I tell you
something real quick?
- Yes.

Michael is
sexual harassment
waiting to happen.

He touched my booty.

He touched
my booty, too.

Girl, please.

They should've been
on their Ps and Qs, okay?

If they are lax now,

they're going
to be lax later,

and you're gonna
have problems.

The little fella
that's touching everybody...

I don't think
he should be hired.

He's too comfortable.

I am mortified to learn

that Michael grabbed
Towanda and Traci's behind.

I'm trying to be professional

in front of my peers
and my sisters.

In what world
does he think

that could possibly
be acceptable?

Well, I think
she's running
the business--

your business,
your manager
should handle stuff,

and when you talk
everyone listens

because you're the boss.

You can't be
the quarterback
handing out the Gatorade.

Hey, Sandra...

- Hello.
- Hello.

Hey, Sandra.
Hey.

- We have
a few issues today.
- Right.

Your bearded boy, he touches
his customers too much.

Michael.
He tried to grab--
I was like--

- He grabbed my booty.
- He tried to grab you, too?

- Yes.
- Okay. I know.
You have to let him go.

He has to go.

He touched you.

Guess what? Someone might
take that friendliness
the wrong way,

and I am slapped
with a lawsuit.

Then maybe
she could talk
to him.

- Do you want me to?
- You have to.

I think
it's necessary
that you do.

I didn't expect to be
firing anybody tonight,

but Michael has really
made my family uncomfortable--

especially Mommy--

and I feel like
I don't have a choice.

This is getting real
really fast.

- Go handle your staff, baby.
- Now. Right now.

'Cause they're
out of control.

What's up, baby?

Who did I grab?

You don't touch nobody.

You don't do that.

We was doing,
like, intros,
hug intros.

I was doing that.

Well, they just felt like

you touched them
inappropriately,

and you can't do that.

No, I was not at all.

They actually want me
to let you go.

So, I mean, what do--
what do you want me

to go back and tell them?

I mean you tell me
what you wanna do--

I need you
to go apologize
to every sister

that is sitting down.

And I want you
to ask Trina

if you are able
to keep your job.

I can do that.
But I wasn't doing

all of what I think
you sayin' I was doin'.
Like, I wasn't on that level.

Okay, would you
like to apologize,
or would you like to walk?

If I know what level
you're talking about,
I'll apologize,

but I'm still confused
what I'm apologizing for.

Just say, "I'm sorry
for being obnoxious."

Coming up on
"Braxton Family Values"...

Tamar Braxton
is a real MVP.

She was about
to whup his ass.

You all right?

No, really, like,

it was really ratchet
and not cute.

Okay.

Okay. Would

Okay. Would you

Okay. Would you
like

Okay. Would you
like to

Okay. Would you
like to apologize,

Okay. Would you
like to apologize,
or

Okay. Would you
like to apologize,
or would

Okay. Would you
like to apologize,
or would you

Okay. Would you
like to apologize,
or would you like

Okay. Would you
like to apologize,
or would you like to

Okay. Would you
like to apologize,
or would you like to walk?

If I know what level
you're talking about,
I'll apologize,

but I'm still confused
what I'm apologizing for.

Just say, "I'm sorry
for being obnoxious."

'Cause you are
being obnoxious.

That's all you gotta say.

I don't want you
to question it.

I don't want you
to do nothing else.

But there is
questionability behind it,

because it's
mul-- like I said,
it's multifaceted.

- You're too much-- like,
you arguing with me...
- I'm not arguing...

- ...I'm asking you a question.
- ...and there's no reason
to argue with me.

And I'm telling you,
you, like, touched
the wrong person.

This is what
I'm telling you.

Now you wanna
fight with me.

And I'm giving you
a second chance.

Do you want it
or you don't?

I don't know who I touched
that I touched the wrong person.

Oh, my God.

It doesn't matter?
You did it.

They told me
you did it.

It don't matter
who you touched.

They told me
that you did it.

Do you understand
what I'm saying?

- Do you either want--
- Can't no-- body
punk me right now!

What the--
you talkin' about, bitch?

I'll-- smack
the-- out of anyone

in the-- building
right now.

Do you think it's
a-- game?

- with me
right now.

I don't--
play that--.

From the drinks
to the food

to the staff,

tonight did not
go as planned.

And I can't believe
this is happening.

All these-- people
got me-- trippin', boy.

I think it's safe to say
the party's over.

He crazy.

You guys are ready to go.
You need to go home and--

Children.
Can't take
the children.

Tamar Braxton
is the real MVP.

I don't care
what nobody say.

She was about
to whup his ass.

Mm-hmm.

That's like the white version
of "Love & Hip-Hop."

I'm not here for it.
"Not I," said the duck.

No shade.
Love Trina,

but I don't wanna be
a part of that.

No, really.

Like, it was really ratchet
and not cute.

What the hell
just happened?

I don't know whether to be
frightened or to be stunned.

I don't know how
to react to this.

- Oh, okay.
- You ready
to take a selfie?

Sure.

- Was that good?
- It was good, yes.

Nice meeting you.

I don't think that behavior
is forgivable.

I mean, come on, now.

You gonna blow up
and everything like that.

I mean, that's crazy.

I was a little nervous.
I didn't know what was going on.

'Cause, you know, people
are half crazy these days.

You don't know
what they're packing.

I'm like, ooh,
thank God he's gone.

You all right?

I can't believe
that Michael had such a blowup

in front of my family,

in front of
potential customers
and friends.

This is not what
the Bar Chix brand
is all about.

And I'm gonna need you
to keep it cute

or put it on mute.

I keep telling y'all
that he's crazy.

He just told us he
gonna bring the whole
squad up in here.

He just--
wants to be crazy.

He's not crazy.

He's just frustrated.
Everybody keep yellin' at him.

- Oh, I'm so frustra--
- Whoa!

- Girl.
- Thank you.

Oh, my gosh.
Cheers.

I'm glad
we're done.
Salud.

Now I can actually
have a real cocktail.

Look, what
was that about?

No, you tell me
what that was about.

Girl, I don't know.

Hey, Towanda.
We gettin' all the--
we gettin' all the scoop.

- What'd I miss?
- Okay, well, the dude...

I think he's
a little loco.

That made me feel
a little bit leery,

it made me feel
a certain type of way.

I feel bad for Trina.

It's like stepped on a roach
your-- just went down.

So, I-- I'm not
trying to be funny,

and I'm gonna be
the devil's advocate
really quick

because, you know,
I train people, too,
to do things.

And I think
that everybody
is teachable.

This is not the islands.
This is not Miami.

- He could've been--
- He did tell me he
was from the islands.

He did come back
from the islands.

No, but we do.
We touch people.

- Yeah, they're
very touchy.
- And we do that.

Yeah, but you
don't do that.

My final thought
on the dry run as a whole

is that this...

was a complete disaster.

And I have to be honest--

if it were me
on the outside
looking in,

I'd be like, boo.

Boo!

Boo.

This is not Bar Chix.

This was just a dry run

to see how they would be
or how they would act

when they-- when they
were incorporated into Bar Chix.

Trina has a hard time
not being soft.

This is gonna be a lot
for Trina and her personality.

I'm just sayin'.

It's gonna be crazy.
