- I AM READY
TO START FRESH,

SO, I FIGURED I COULD USE
ALL THE LOVE AND SUPPORT

I COULD GET, SO, I ASKED
MY SISTERS TO JOIN ME.

- I AM TRINA.

I AM A BACK-UP
SINGER FOR TONI.

COME ON--
DA-BA-DAH!

- I AM TAMAR.

I ALSO SING
BACKGROUND FOR TONI.

I JUST FEEL LIKE IT'S
NOT REALLY APPRECIATED

AND I WANT TO BE
KNOWN AS TAMAR,

NOT TONI BRAXTON'S
SISTER.

- Y'ALL DON'T SUPPORT
NOTHING I DO.

MY FAMILY DOES
NOT SUPPORT ME

AND THAT IS
JUST WHAT IT IS.

- I GOT A DUI AND I GOT
ARRESTED AND I WENT TO JAIL.

- WHAT?

OH, JESUS, YOU
GOT A MUG SHOT.

- I JUST SOMETIMES THINK
THAT YOU DON'T LIKE ME.

- BASICALLY, I FEEL LIKE
I MARRIED MY MOTHER.

AND YOU KNOW,
I DIDN'T LIKE MY MOTHER.

- TRINA'S, LIKE, GOING DOWN
AND NOT UP AND UP AND UP.

- WE PROBABLY NEED TO
BRING DR. SHERRY IN.

- YEAH-- SHE'S
BEEN DRINKING A LOT.

- HERE WE GO.
- WHY ARE YOU SO DEFENSIVE

WHEN IT COMES TO
WHEN I SAY SOMETHING?

- OH, TAMAR-- SHUT UP!

- THIS IS GOING TO
BE A TRAIN WRECK.

- song:
WE ARE THE BRAXTONS

AND YOU'LL SEE

THAT WE ARE NOT LIKE
AN ORDINARY FAMILY

TONI TRACI TOWANDA
TRINA TAMAR AND MS. E.

WILL TEACH YOU
A THING OR TWO

ON BRAXTON
FAMILY VALUES

- I AM JUST SO
HUNGRY TODAY.

I CAN'T
WAIT TO EAT.

- OH MY GOD--
IT IS SO PRETTY.

- DOING THE SHOW IN
BERMUDA WITH MY SISTERS

WAS AN AMAZING
EXPERIENCE.

WE OBVIOUSLY HAD A
FEW MOMENTS OF DRAMA.

- TONE IT DOWN.

- I AM NOT
TALKIN' TO YOU.

- FOR REAL, TAMAR?
- FOR REAL.

- FOR REAL?
- YOU DON'T LISTEN.

- I AM JUST GOING TO GO OUT
AND MAKE IT HAPPEN ON MY OWN.

- IT JUST DOES NOT HAPPEN THE
WAY YOU WANT IT TO HAPPEN

BECAUSE YOU'RE
MY WIFE.

- BUT OVERALL,
IT WAS A SUCCESS.

SO, MY SISTERS DECIDED TO GO
OUT AND DO WHAT WE DO BEST-

GO OUT AND GET
SOMETHING TO EAT

AND WHAT DO WE
DO IN THE END?

WE END UP TEASING
EACH OTHER.

- TRACI, HOW OLD
IS THIS PHONE?

- WHEN SHE PASSED IT
TO YOU, IT GROWLED.

- HEY.
- THIS WAS IN "NEW JACK CITY."

- I LOVE MY PHONE.

I DROPPED IT IN THE
TOILET, IN THE STREET.

PEOPLE STEPPED ON
IT-- I LOVE MY PHONE.

- AND IT HAS AN
ANTENNA-- LOOK.

- LOOK AT THAT.

YO, MONEY, LET ME
CALL YOU BACK-- RIGHT?

THAT IS NOT CUTE.

- YES.

- WE'RE ALL JOKING AROUND,
HAVING A GOOD TIME,

AND THEN TRINA DROPS
THIS BOMB ON US.

- I GOT A DUI
LAST WEDNESDAY.

- WHAT?
- OKAY.

- CAN YOU PLEASE
PASS THE SUGAR?

- HOW DID
THAT HAPPEN?

- SHE WAS DRINKING
OBVIOUSLY.

- HOWEVER, I WAS
NOT INCOHERENT.

- A DUI?

NOW, I KNOW TRINA
LOVES THE SAUCE.

SHE LIKES TO
GET HER DRINK ON.

I THINK THIS IS A
LITTLE UNACCEPTABLE.

I AM REALLY
WORRIED ABOUT HER.

- I SWERVED TWICE.

- IT SOUNDS LIKE
AN ALCOHOLIC.

- WHAT WAS YOUR RANKING FOR
THE BREATHALYZER THING?

GIVE US A NUMBER.
- I CAN'T RECALL.

- SHE DOESN'T RECALL?

I'M SURE
TRINA REMEMBERS

WHAT THAT DAMN
BREATHALYZER SAID.

SHE JUST DOES NOT
WANT TO TELL US.

IF IT DON'T MAKE SENSE,
THERE'S A LIE SOMEWHERE.

- SOMEWHERE.

- MOMMY DOESN'T
KNOW YET?

- NO.
- THAT'S WHAT I'M--

- OUR MOTHER HEAD
IS GOING TO EXPLODE

WHEN SHE HEARS
ABOUT TRINA DUI.

IT'S GOING TO BE
AN UGLY SITUATION.

- DID HE PUT
HANDCUFFS ON YOU?

- YES.

I WAS IN HANDCUFFS
LIKE A COMMON CRIMINAL.

- IN THE BACK
OF THE CAR?

- IN THE BACK OF
THE SQUAD CAR.

I'VE NEVER BEEN ARRESTED
FOR ANYTHING IN MY LIFE.

I'VE NEVER EVEN
GOTTEN A TICKET.

THEY TOOK MY WIG
OFF-- EVERYTHING.

I HAD TO TAKE
A PICTURE.

- OH.
- AND--

- THEY TOOK OFF
MY STOCKING CAP.

EVERYTHING!

- GETTING ARRESTED
IS BAD ENOUGH,

BUT I CAN'T THINK OF
ANYTHING MORE HUMILIATING

THAN HAVING TO HAVE YOUR WIG
RIPPED OFF FOR A MUG SHOT.

- WHAT DID YOU HAVE UNDERNEATH
THE STOCKING CAP?

- I LOOKED LIKE SONIC--

I LOOKED LIKE SONIC THE
HEDGEHOG UNDERNEATH THERE.

- MY SISTERS ARE ABLE TO LAUGH
AT JUST ABOUT ANYTHING,

BUT THIS IS SERIOUS.

THIS IS SOMETHING THAT WE
NEED TO BE CONCERNED ABOUT.

- IT WAS A MESS.

- WE'RE GOING IN HERE?
- YEAH-- LET'S CHECK THIS OUT.

- MY HUSBAND'S
NAME IS ANDRE.

WE HAVE BEEN MARRIED
FOR SIX YEARS.

TRUTH BE TOLD, ANDRE AND I ARE
HAVING SOME SERIOUS PROBLEMS

IN OUR MARRIAGE.

- WHAT ARE YOU IN
THE MOOD FOR?

ARE YOU DRINKING?

- WHAT ARE YOU
TRYIN' TO SAY?

- I'M JUST ASKIN'.
- SO, JUST SAY IT.

- I'M JUST SAYING
TRINA IS YOUR SISTER.

- THAT'S NOT NICE.

WHAT ARE YOU
TRYING TO SAY?

I DRINK A LOT.

ANDRE IS A WRITER.

HE BASICALLY SITS HOME
AND WRITES BOOKS--

HIS OWN BOOKS.

AND HE TAKES CARE OF THE
KIDS, WHICH IS GREAT.

EXCEPT FOR
ONE THING,

HE'S NOT OUT SELLING
ANY OF HIS BOOKS,

WHICH MEANS, I HAVE TO
TAKE CARE OF THE HOUSEHOLD

BECAUSE HE IS NOT
BRINGING ANY MONEY IN.

SO, THAT IS A
PROBLEM FOR ME.

- HOW IS YOUR
BOOK GOING?

YOU HAVEN'T GONE ON ANY
BOOK SIGNINGS AT ALL

WHATSOEVER
WITH THIS BOOK.

- YOU GOTTA UNDERSTAND,
I WASN'T FINANCIALLY CAPABLE

OF DOING SOME OF THE
THINGS THAT I NEEDED TO DO

TO GET THIS BOOK IN THE
BOOKSTORES, FIRST OF ALL.

- I NEED A PROVIDER.

'CAUSE, LIKE,
NOW WE'RE ROOMMATES.

- I'LL AGREE WITH
YOU ON THAT ONE.

- I JUST THINK THAT SOMETIMES
YOU DON'T LIKE ME.

- I DON'T LIKE SOME OF
THE THINGS YOU DO, TRUE.

BASICALLY, I FEEL LIKE
I MARRIED MY MOTHER.

NOW, YOU KNOW,
I DIDN'T LIKE MY MOTHER.

I LOVED HER TO DEATH, BUT YOU
KNOW, I DID NOT LIKE HER.

- DO YOU LIKE
SOMEBODY ELSE?

- WHAT MAN COULDN'T
SEE HIMSELF

DOING IT WITH
SOMEBODY ELSE?

I MEAN, COME ON.

ANY MAN THAT SAYS
"NO" WOULD BE LYING.

AND I HAVE
FIVE FINGERS.

- THAT IS NOT SOMETHING
THAT YOU DO.

- NO, 'CAUSE MY MOTHER ALWAYS
TOLD ME YOU'D GO BLIND.

SO, I DON'T
WANNA BE BLIND.

- YET, THAT'S NOT
SOMETHING YOU DO?

I AM MISERABLE.

I'VE BEEN THE
FINANCIAL BREADWINNER

AND THAT HAS BEEN
STRESSFUL FOR ME.

- WOW--
IS THAT RIGHT?

- THAT'S WHAT YOU'RE
SUPPOSED TO DO.

YOU'RE THE MAN OF THE
HOUSE-- YOU'RE THE PROVIDER.

YOU ARE
THE PERSON.

I'M SUPPOSED TO
JUST BE YOUR HELPER.

- I'M NOT GOING TO HAVE
THIS DISCUSSION ANYMORE.

- YOU KNOW, I REALLY TRIED
TO TALK TO ANDRE ABOUT THIS

AND HE JUST DOESN'T
LISTEN TO ME.

I THINK I NEED TO GET
SOMEONE ELSE INVOLVED

IN OUR MARRIAGE-- I THINK
WE NEED SOME COUNSELING.

THANK YOU, SO MUCH.

OF COURSE,
I PAY THE BILL.

YES--
THANK YOU SO MUCH.

- THIS FOOD IS
REALLY GOOD.

IS THAT RED SNAPPER?
- MM-HMM.

- ISN'T THAT FOOD GOOD?
- IT IS-- IT'S DELICIOUS.

- I LOVE THIS
TIME OF YEAR

BECAUSE THE TASTE OF
ATLANTA IS COMING UP.

IT IS A TWO-DAY FESTIVAL
OF WINE AND FOOD

AND THINGS
LIKE THAT.

BUT WHAT'S REALLY
GREAT ABOUT IT THIS YEAR

IS THAT MY SISTERS AND
I GET TO PARTICIPATE.

WE GET TO PREPARE
SOME FOOD FOR THE CROWD

TO ENJOY
THIS YEAR.

TONI, WHAT ARE YOU
MAKING-- SHABU-SHABU?

- THIS IS PHO.
- IT'S CALLED SHABU-SHABU.

- IN WHAT WORLD?
- IN JAPANESE.

- YOU LEARN ONE
LITTLE JAPANESE WORD

AND YOU FEEL LIKE YOU
KNOW THE WHOLE CULTURE.

- TAMAR DOESN'T COOK.

SHE HAS PEOPLE
WHO DO IT FOR HER.

- WHAT SHOULD
I MAKE?

THERE'S TWO THINGS
THAT WE SHOULD NOT,

CANNOT NEVER MAKE...
- WHAT?

- THAT.

AND MOMMY'S
BLACKBERRY DUMPLINGS.

- SHE CAN MAKE IT, BUT SHE
CAN'T MAKE IT OUTSIDE

BECAUSE IT'S
GONNA BE-- IT'S HOT.

HOT.

- LET MOMMY MAKE
THAT DECISION.

- I'M TELLING Y'ALL IT'S
GONNA BE A DI-SASTER.

- IT'S GONNA BE MUSH.

- EVERYBODY LOVES MY MOM'S
BLACKBERRY DUMPLINGS,

EXCEPT FOR ME.

I MEAN, SHE SAYS IT'S
BEEN PASSED DOWN

FROM GENERATION
TO GENERATION,

BUT LET'S JUST HOPE THIS
IS THE LAST GENERATION.

- TRINA, YOU
SHOULD TELL MOM--

IF WE ARE GONNA
GO OUT IN ATLANTA,

YOU SHOULD TELL
MOMMY ABOUT YOUR DUI.

- HELL, NO.

AS FAR AS I AM CONCERNED,
SHE NEVER, EVER HAS TO KNOW.

I JUST DON'T
WANT TO TELL HER.

- WELL, YOU WANT
US TO TELL HER?

- THAT'S TOO BAD.

- WHO YOU WANT TO TELL
HER-- TONI OR TAMAR?

- THAT IS NOT MY
BUSINESS TO TELL.

- SHE'S GONNA
HAVE A TURTLE.

SHE IS GONNA HAVE
A TURTLE, A COW,

TWO BABY DUCKLINGS.

- ESPECIALLY SINCE
IT IS TRINA.

MOMMY ISN'T GONNA
HAVE A COW,

SHE'S GONNA
HAVE AN ELEPHANT

WHEN SHE FINDS OUT
ABOUT TRINA'S DUI.

- YOU HAVE TO TELL MOMMY
IN THE NEXT TWO DAYS.

- THE NEXT TWO DAYS?

- WE'LL ALL BE AROUND.

THAT WAY YOU KNOW TONI'S
GONNA PUT IN HER TWO CENTS.

OF COURSE.
- AND SO IS TAMAR.

- I KNOW MY SISTERS ARE
UPSET ABOUT MY DUI.

SO, I DECIDED TO
SHOW THEM SOMETHING

WHERE THEY COULD
BE PROUD OF ME.

SO, I INVITED THEM
TO MY BAND REHEARSAL.

I HAVE REHEARSAL.
- OH, OF THE BAND.

- WITH THE BAND.
- ARE Y'ALL GOING TO COME?

- I'M GONNA COME, TRINA.
- I'M COMING.

- SO, Y'ALL CAN SEE.
- I'M COMING TO SUPPORT YOU.

- SEE WHAT I AM DOING.
- OKAY, FINE-- I'LL GO.

- IT'S COOL.

- NONE OF US HAS EVER
SEEN TRINA'S BAND BEFORE.

I JUST WANT TO SEE
WHAT SHE LOOKS LIKE

IN THE FRONT
PERFORMING AND STUFF.

SHE BETTER
BRING IT.

- WE'RE GOIN' TO SEE TRINA
AT HER BAND REHEARSAL

AND THIS IS THE FIRST
TIME MY SISTERS AND I

WILL SEE HER
AS THE LEAD SINGER.

SO, WE ARE REALLY,
REALLY EXCITED TO SEE IT.

- TRINA'S GROUP MUST BE
ON SOME FOR REAL [deleted].

- I HEARD THAT TRINA'S
GROUP WAS PRETTY GOOD.

WHAT KIND OF
MUSIC DO THEY DO?

- WHAT?

- IT'S A COVER BAND.

- COVER BAND?

THE BRAXTONS?

UH-UH.

BYE, GIRL--
MM-MM.

WE'VE BEEN WRITING
AND SINGIN' OUR SONGS

SINCE WE BEEN A LITTLE
GIRL, YOU KNOW?

AND IT'S LIKE,
HERE SHE IS BUSTING UP

SINGING THE GLEE CLUB
VERSION OF THE GAP BAND.

LIKE, UH-UH-- IF
YOU ARE GONNA DO THAT,

YOU BETTER SING THE
HELL OUT OF THAT, HONEY.

- WHEN WE FIRST
CAME INTO THE ROOM,

I SAW TRINA GET
A LITTLE GUARDED,

LIKE, OKAY,
THEY'RE HERE-THEY'RE HERE.

BUT THEN SHE WAS,
LIKE, I AM TRINA.

DIVA SUPERSTAR--
THIS IS MY BAND.

I'M PART OF THIS BAND AND
I'M GONNA SHAKE MY HAIR

AND DO MY THING--
I AM TRINA.

FOCUS.

SO, SHE
SEEMED HAPPY.

- TRINA TOLD US ABOUT
HER BAND... "HER BAND."

AND WE WERE ALL
EXCITED TO GO SEE IT,

BUT TRINA IS NOT
THE LEAD SINGER.

WHAT ARE
YOU DOING?

- HEY T--
- HEY.

- THAT WAS GOOD.

- THE BAND IS SOMETHING THAT
I PUT A LOT OF MY TIME

AND EMOTIONS INTO.

I HOPE THEY CAN SEE THE TALENT
AND ALL OF THE HARD WORK

AND DEDICATION THAT
WE'VE PUT INTO IT.

- FIRST OF ALL, I THINK
THE BAND SOUNDS GREAT.

THE BAND SOUNDS
LIKE MY BAND.

- THAT IS
YOUR BAND.

RONNY USED TO PLAY FOR YOU.
- THAT WAS YOUR BAND DIRECTOR!

- OKAY, YOU'RE RIGHT--
THAT'S WHY IT SOUNDS SO GOOD.

THE BAND IS
THE POOPIES.

- SHE DIDN'T
DO NOTHIN'--

SHE JUST CHANGED
BACKGROUND SINGERS.

- TRINA IS IN A BAND
AS A BACKGROUND SINGER.

POINT BLANK PERIOD.

- KIND OF.
- ADDED THREE MORE.

- WAIT-WAIT--
TAMAR, TAMAR, TAMAR.

I AM NOT A BACKGROUND
SINGER IN MY BAND.

THANK YOU
VERY MUCH.

- IT'S LIKE
GLEE LIVE.

- WHAT DID YOU CALL IT?
- IT'S LIKE GLEE LIVE.

- GLEE, THE
TV SHOW, BUT LIVE.

Y'ALL MIGHT AS
WELL TAKE BROADWAY.

Y'ALL EVER SEE THAT
TV SHOW CALLED GLEE?

THEY SING THOSE COVER
SONGS AND STUFF.

THAT'S WHAT
TRINA IS DOING.

I THOUGHT THAT WE WERE
FIXING TO WALK IN HERE

AND SEE YOU
DOIN', YOU KNOW,

DOIN' SINGING AND BUSTING
AND SINGING YOUR VOCALS.

- Y'ALL CAME IN WHEN
IT DIDN'T HAPPEN YET.

- NO, I DIDN'T.

- WE ACTUALLY TAKE TURNS
SINGING LEAD IN THIS BAND.

MY SISTERS JUST
HAPPENED TO WALK IN

IN A MOMENT WHEN I
WAS SINGING BACKUP.

I SING LEAD ON
PLENTY OF SONGS.

I'M SICK OF PEOPLE TALKING
ABOUT ME TRIPPING OUT

FOR SINGING
BACKGROUND FOR YOU.

AND THEN THEY ARE COMIN'
OVER HERE SINGING BACKGROUND

FOR SOMEBODY ELSE THAT
USED TO PLAY IN YOUR BAND.

- FIRST OF ALL, I AM NOT
THE ONE WHO HAD PROBLEMS

SINGING BACKGROUND
FOR TONI-- THAT WAS YOU.

YOU COMPLAINED ABOUT IT
FIFTY MILLION TIMES A DAY.

"I MEAN,
I AIN'T DOING IT."

- I DON'T TALK LIKE THAT, BOO.
- YES, YOU DO, BUT-- MM-HMM.

- I AM NOT
DOING THAT.

NO, I CAN'T.

THAT'S IT-- I DON'T HAVE
TO REHEARSE THAT PART.

- AND I AM HERE IN
BERMUDA DOO-WOP POP POP

WITH TONI BRAXTON.

WHO WANTS TO BE LIKE, "OH,
YEAH, WHAT YOU DO GIRL?"

"OH, I'M-I'M A
BACKGROUND SINGER."

THAT AIN'T HOT.

BUT WHOA-WHOA-WHOA--
CAN I SAY SOMETHIN'?

- BUT DON'T TAKE OFFENSE.
- I DO TAKE OFFENSE

BECAUSE Y'ALL DON'T
SUPPORT NOTHIN' I DO.

MY FAMILY DOES SUPPORT ME
AND THAT'S JUST WHAT IT IS.

- IN THE LAST
FEW WEEKS,

WE'VE NOTICED THAT TRINA
HAS BEEN DRINKING A LOT.

SHE'S MORE ANGRY AND A
LITTLE SHORT TEMPERED.

AND NOW, A DUI.

NOW, I AM REALLY STARTING
TO WORRY ABOUT HER.

- YOU KNOW WHAT,
I AM NOT PLAYING

THE ATTACK
DOT COM GAME.

- YES, YOU ARE.
- I'M NOT DOING IT.

NO, I'M REALLY NOT--
I'M REALLY NOT.

[cross talking]

- WHEN YOU GETTIN'
READY TO SING?

WHEN YOU GETTIN'
READY TO SING?

- 'CAUSE THAT'S NOT COOL.
- WHY ARE YOU GOING OUT?

- I THINK Y'ALL
SHOULD GO, ACTUALLY.

- OOH--
WELL, THAT'S MY CUE.

PURSE.

- THEY HAVE
TO GO, NOW.

GOOD-BYE.

- TRINA'S REACTION
IN TELLING US

THAT WE COULD JUST LEAVE IS
A LITTLE LEFT FIELD FOR TRINA.

- I WATCH GLEE
EVERY WEEK.

I AIN'T GOTTA SEE THIS.
- WELL, NO-- I AM HUNGRY.

WHEN ARE WE GONNA GO EAT?
- HOW 'BOUT THAT.

THAT WAS LIKE THE STRAW
THAT BROKE THE CAMELS BACK

TO ME FOR TRINA.

AT THAT POINT,
I WAS LIKE,

YEAH, SOMETHING DEEP
IS GOING ON WITH TRINA.

- COMING UP ON
"BRAXTON FAMILY VALUES"...

- TRINA IS LIKE SPIRALING
OUT OF CONTROL.

- SHE DOESN'T DO ANYTHING
AROUND THE HOUSE.

I DON'T KNOW IF THAT IS HOW
Y'ALL WERE RAISED, BUT--

- NOW, I KNOW WHY
TRINA HAS BEEN ACTIN'

THE WAY SHE'S BEEN ACTIN'
BECAUSE OF YOUR ASS.

'CAUSE YOU
CRAZY AS HELL.

- I'M SO TIRED.

- YOU ALL RIGHT?

- JUST A LITTLE
FRUSTRATED.

AFTER OUR LUNCH
CHAT THE OTHER DAY,

I COULD TELL I WASN'T
GETTING THROUGH

TO HIS THICK SKULL.

I MEAN, WE ARE REALLY IN
DIRE NEED OF SOME COUNSELING.

I'M REALLY GOING TO TRY TO
TALK TO ANDRE ONE MORE TIME

TO SEE IF HE WILL
EVEN CONSIDER IT.

IT'S JUST EVERYTHING--
I AM JUST FRUSTRATED.

THAT'S ALL.
- TONI, NO DOUBT.

- WHY DO YOU HAVE
TO DO THIS?

WHY DO YOU HAVE
TO ALWAYS PINPOINT

WHO YOU THINK
FRUSTRATES ME?

- BECAUSE YOU ARE LIKE
THE SECRETARY OF STATE

FOR THE
BRAXTON FAMILY.

- YOU HAVE A PROBLEM WITH
ME BEING MADAM SECRETARY?

- YES, I DO BECAUSE
WHEN YOU'RE ABSENT,

WHEN YOU ARE GONE,
THE KIDS WONDER

WHY IS MOMMY GONE
ALL THE TIME.

- I'M FRUSTRATED-- I AM
FRUSTRATED JUST A LITTLE BIT.

I DON'T GET A CHANCE TO
SPEND TIME WITH MY KIDS.

AND THEY ARE YOUNG--
THEY ARE FIVE AND FOUR.

AND BEING
TONI BRAXTON'S ASSISTANT,

I AM AWAY FROM
HOME A LOT.

I JUST MISS THE KIDS--
I JUST MISS 'EM.

- DON'T CRY.

- I HATE NOT BEING
HERE FOR THEM.

THAT REALLY
AFFECTS ME.

I RESENT ANDRE BECAUSE
I WANT HIM TO BE ABLE

TO PROVIDE FOR ME AND THE
CHILDREN AND HE'S NOT.

I HAVE TO DO IT ALL
AND BY ME DOING THAT,

IT KEEPS ME AWAY
FROM MY KIDS.

WE SHOULD GO
SEE DR. SHERRY.

- WHO?
- WE SHOULD.

- FOR WHAT?
- COUNSELING.

- I DON'T THINK
WE NEED IT.

- YOU THINK EVERYTHING
IS PEACHY.

- NO, OF COURSE
IT'S NOT PEACHY,

BUT I DON'T THINK
IT IS TO THE POINT

WHERE WE NEED A
COUNSELOR-- SORRY.

NO, THANKS.
- ARE YOU SERIOUS?

- I AM SERIOUS.

SORRY.

THAT JUST
WON'T HAPPEN.

- THIS IS SO
TYPICAL OF ANDRE.

HE NEVER WANTS TO
STEP UP AND BE A MAN,

EVEN IF I
WANT HIM TO.

- CAN WE SAY GRACE
BEFORE WE CHOKE?

GOD IS GRACE--
GOD IS GOOD.

LORD, WE THANK
YOU FOR THIS FOOD.

PLEASE DON'T
LET US GET FAT.

AMEN.
- AMEN.

- THE TASTE OF ATLANTA
IS IN TWO DAYS.

SO, TAMAR AND I WENT
OVER TO MOMMY'S HOUSE,

SO WE COULD
CONVINCE HER

TO NOT MAKE THE
BLACKBERRY DUMPLINGS.

- WHAT ARE WE HAVING?

I THINK WE SHOULD HAVE
THE BLACKBERRY DUMPLINGS.

REMEMBER, I USED TO MAKE
BLACKBERRY DUMPLINGS?

IT'S THE BOMB.

I THINK WE SHOULD DO THAT.
- REALLY?

- BOOM!
- DAMN.

I CANNOT STAND MY
MOM'S DUMPLINGS.

I'VE BEEN THERE, DONE
THAT AND GOT A TEE SHIRT

AND I AIN'T
WEARING IT.

BUT I HAVE TO DEAL
WITH HER DUMPLINGS LATER

'CAUSE, YA KNOW WHAT-- RIGHT
NOW, I WANT TO FIND OUT

WHAT SHE THINKS IS
GOING ON WITH TRINA.

TRINA IS LIKE SPIRALING
OUT OF CONTROL.

TRINA IS, LIKE, GOING DOWN
AND NOT UP AND UP AND UP.

- EVERYBODY DEAL
WITH SITUATIONS

IN A DIFFERENT WAY.
- I UNDERSTAND THAT.

BECAUSE WHEN I GAINED
ALL THAT WEIGHT.

- WELL, WHY DO YOU THINK
YOU GAINED WEIGHT?

- LIKE THEY SAY YOU ALWAYS
FIND THAT SECURE BLANKET

AND EATING
WAS MY BLANKET.

- TRINA'S IS A LITTLE
BIT MORE THAN EATING.

IT'S EATING
AND DRINKING.

- I SAW A WHOLE LOT
OF MYSELF IN TRINA.

WHEN I WAS GOING
THROUGH THE DEPRESSION,

I GAINED A
LOT OF WEIGHT.

AND I'M SEEING A LOT OF
THINGS GOING ON WITH TRINA.

I DON'T WANT HER TO GO
THROUGH THE SAME PATH

THAT I WENT THROUGH.

I AM REALLY
CONCERNED.

- I AM CONCERNED
ABOUT TRINA.

- BUT YA KNOW WHAT--
I WAS-I WAS ACTUALLY THINKING

WHEN I WOKE UP
THIS MORNING

ABOUT US GOING TO SIT
DOWN AND TALK TO GABE.

GABE IS
TRINA'S HUSBAND.

AND I WANT TO FIND OUT WHAT HE
KNOWS ABOUT TRINA'S BEHAVIOR.

DO YOU WANT TO GO?

- I'M NOT GONNA TALK
TO GABE ABOUT IT.

NOT UNLESS I GET
TRINA'S PERMISSION.

- WELL, I AIN'T GETTIN'
NOBODY'S PERMISSION.

I AM GROWN--
I AM GOING.

- WELL, WHETHER YOU
ARE GROWN OR NOT

IT'S STILL HER
RELATIONSHIP.

YA KNOW, I DON'T THINK
THEY SHOULD GO TO GABE

BEHIND TRINA'S BACK.

I DON'T THINK
IT IS FAIR.

I THINK IT'S
TOTALLY WRONG.

YOU COULD BLOW UP
A BIG BALL OF STINK.

- AGAINST MY
MOM'S ADVICE,

TRACI, TOWANDA AND I WENT OVER
TO GABE'S TO TALK TO GABE.

I REALLY WANTED TO GET
TO THE BOTTOM OF TRINA

AND HER DRINKING AND
ALL OF THE SHENANIGANS

SHE'S GOT GOING ON.

I MEAN, I JUST KIND OF WANTED
TO MAKE TRINA'S BUSINESS

MY BUSINESS.

- HEY.
- WHAT'S GOING ON?

- WE TOLD GABE WE
WERE COMING OVER

AND HE DIDN'T SEEM TO
THRILLED ABOUT IT.

- DO YOU THINK
TRINA HAS CHANGED?

- SHE SEEMS A LOT
MORE DEPRESSED.

SHE'S PUT ON WEIGHT.

- WHAT DO YOU THINK
THE ROOT OF IT IS?

- I DON'T THINK SHE IS
INVOLVED IN THE FAMILY

AS MUCH ANYMORE.
- RIGHT.

- SHE SLEEPS
IN 'TIL 11:00

AND SHE DOESN'T DO
ANYTHING AROUND THE HOUSE.

I DON'T KNOW IF THAT'S
HOW Y'ALL WERE RAISED?

BUT...
- YOU KNOW EVELYN.

- I BEG YOUR PARDON?

- WELL, I
TELL YOU WHAT.

NONE OF US WAS RAISED TO
MARRY NO FOOL LIKE THAT GUY.

- DO YOU THINK
SHE PUTS THE BAND

OVER HER FAMILY SOMETIMES?
- IN THE PAST, YES.

TRINA WAS ALWAYS ON
THE ROAD DOING THE PLAYS

AND THEN SHE WAS DOING
GIGS WHENEVER SHE COULD.

AND WE'VE BEEN MARRIED
FOR SEVEN YEARS.

I WOULD SAY I HAVE SEEN
TRINA MAYBE HALF THAT TIME.

- WOW.

- SO, I MEAN, THAT
PUTS A LOT OF STRAIN.

YA KNOW, THE BOYS GO TO
BED AND YOU GET LONELY.

- DID YOU SEEK OUTSIDE
THE MARRIAGE?

- UM...

- OF COURSE HE DOES NOT
WANT TO ANSWER THAT,

BUT I ALREADY KNEW
THE ANSWER TO THAT

BECAUSE TRINA HAS
ALREADY TOLD US.

WE JUST WANTED TO HEAR
GABE'S SIDE OF THE STORY.

I AM GETTING MAYBE YOU HAD
SOME INFIDELITY SITUATIONS

AND MAYBE
SHE HAS.

- YOU KNOW, WHAT I DO FEEL IS
THAT I MIGHT HAVE DONE THINGS,

ACTIONS, BUT I FEEL
LIKE SHE DID THINGS,

LIKE, EMOTIONALLY
TO ME.

- BUT DO YOU THINK YOU MADE
HER FEEL LIKE MOMMY AND DADDY?

- POSSIBLY, YES.

- SO, THAT'S MAYBE WHY SHE
DISCONNECTED HERSELF?

- YEAH.

YEAH... MAYBE.

- DADDY CHEATED
ON MOMMY.

SO, I DON'T THINK US GIRLS
HAVE EVER FORGIVEN HIM

FOR THAT.

- I ONLY KNOW YOUR DAD'S
SIDE BECAUSE HE IS THE ONLY

I'VE CONSULTED WITH
AND TALKED TO.

AND HE IS THE ONE
I CAN RELATE MORE TO.

- WOW!

YOU CAN RELATE TO MY DAD.
- YEAH, OF COURSE.

I CAN RELATE
MORE TO HIM

BECAUSE I AM
MARRIED TO A BRAXTON.

I UNDERSTAND WHAT
HE IS SAYING.

- WHAT-WHA-WHAT
IS HE SAYING?

- I MEAN, I UNDERSTAND
IF HE FELT LIKE

HE WAS BELITTLED
AND TALKED DOWN TO.

- HE BELITTLED HIMSELF.

HE IS THE ONE WHO
HAD AN AFFAIR.

- ONCE GABE STARTED SAYING
HE RELATES TO OUR DAD,

I KNEW TAMAR WAS
GOING TO LOSE IT.

I AM CONCERNED
ABOUT TRINA.

- I COULD CARE LESS WHERE
YOU STICK YOUR DINGLE LING,

WHERE SHE BEEN, WHERE SHE
GOING, WHO YOU CATCH HER WITH.

I JUST WANT TO KNOW,
WHY SHE GAINED WEIGHT?

WHY IS SHE DRINKING LIKE
SHE DON'T HAVE NO LIVER?

WHY DO SHE NOT
WANT TO BE HOME?

WHY DID SHE FILE
FOR A SEPARATION

AND Y'ALL STILL
IN THE SAME HOUSE?

THAT IS NOT THE
RIGHT BEHAVIOR.

IT'S SILLY--
IT'S CRAZY.

- I FEEL LIKE BECAUSE OF
EVERYTHING THAT'S HAPPENED,

Y'ALL FAMILY IS SO
INVOLVED IN EVERYTHING

AND, YOU KNOW WHAT,
Y'ALL GOT TO STOP CALLING

AT 9:00 A.M.
IN THE MORNING.

- THIS BOY IS A DAMN NUT.
'CAUSE THAT'S NOT COOL.

- A FOOL FROM
OUTER SPACE.

- Y'ALL ARE WAKING
ME UP IN THE MORNING

AND Y'ALL ARE
WAKING ME UP AT NIGHT.

- HOW YOU GONNA ASK
SOMEBODY'S SISTER

NOT TO CALL THEM AT 9 O'CLOCK
OR 9 O'CLOCK AT NIGHT?

TOWANDA, DO YOU
CALL AT 9 O'CLOCK?

DO TONI CALL AT
9 O'CLOCK AT NIGHT?

- WHY YOU ASKIN'
SOMEBODY'S SISTER

NOT TO CALL THEM
AT A CERTAIN--

AT 9:00 O'CLOCK
IN THE MORNING?

THAT'S A
RESPECTABLE TIME.

NOW, I KNOW WHY
TRINA HAS BEEN ACTIN'

THE WAY SHE HAS BEEN
ACTIN' BECAUSE OF YOUR ASS.

'CAUSE YOU
CRAZY AS HELL.

AND IF I WAS HER, I WOULD
BE GOING [deleted] NUTS, TOO.

- WELL, THANKS, GABE,
FOR TALKING TO US.

- THANK Y'ALL
FOR COMING OVER.

- COMING UP ON
"BRAXTON FAMILY VALUES."

- I GOT A DUI.

- OH, JESUS, YOU
GOT A MUG SHOT.

HELP ME,
HOLY LORD.

- ON THIS PATH THAT SHE IS
GOING, IT'S NOT POSITIVE.

I DON'T WANT ANYTHING
TO HAPPEN TO HER.

- IN THE BRAXTON FAMILY,
COOKING IS A VERY BIG DEAL.

GUYS, I DON'T BELIEVE IN
SABOTAGING PEOPLE'S FOOD.

SO, I JUST NEVER
EVER DO THAT.

- HOW DOES THIS GO--
THIS WAY OR THAT WAY?

- OUR FAMILY COOKS
TOGETHER A LOT.

BUT SOMETIMES
IT GETS HEATED.

- I CAN SEE, BY
ME HELPING YOU,

EVERYBODY'S
JUMPIN' ON ME.

- WHERE'S MY APRON--
IS THAT MINE?

- NOPE.

- EVERYBODY HAS AN
APRON EXPECT FOR ME?

A REAL CHEF DON'T
NEED AN APRON.

- OKAY.

- I DON'T SEE
NO REAL CHEF.

- I FEEL THAT
I AM A CHEF.

THEY ARE SOUS CHEFS.

BUT I AM THE CHEF
OF THE FAMILY.

I'M LIKE
BAREFOOT CONTESSA.

I'M VERY, VERY
"JULIA CHILDS."

- I DON'T LIKE IT.
- I'M PLATING.

- TRINA.

SINCE WE ARE ALL TOGETHER,
I THINK THIS IS THE PERFECT TIME

FOR TRINA TO TALK
TO MOMMY ABOUT HER DUI.

- OKAY--
I AM THE OLDEST.

MOMMY, I THINK
TRINA HAS SOMETHING

THAT I THINK SHE
SHOULD TELL YOU,

SO SHE WON'T HEAR ABOUT
IT FROM ANYONE ELSE.

TRINA...

- I GOT A DUI...
ON WEDNESDAY.

- WHERE-- IN ATLANTA?
- RIGHT DOWN THE STREET.

- BY YOUR CHURCH.

- YOU KNOW WHAT?
- SORRY.

- TAMAR, DON'T HELP.

- AND I GOT ARRESTED
AND WENT TO JAIL.

- WHAT?

OH, JESUS YOU
GOT A MUG SHOT.

HELP ME,
HOLY GHOST.

- DID YOU HOLD
THE THING LIKE THIS?

- NO.

- YOU MUST'VE BEEN
SWERVING ACROSS THE ROAD

OR SOMETHING FOR THE
MAN TO CATCH YOU.

I MEAN, YOU COULD
HAVE HIT SOMEONE.

- THE EXPERIENCE WAS SO BAD,
IT'S-IT'S A LESSON LEARNED.

- I AM GLAD.

- THEY MADE ME TAKE OFF
MY WIG, MY STOCKING CAP,

MY UNDERWEAR.
- YOUR UNDERWEAR?

- EVERYTHING!
- OKAY, WE CAN ALL GET ALONG

WITHOUT OUR UNDERWEAR.

- I CAN'T BELIEVE
TRINA GOT A DUI.

I WAS JUST
MORTIFIED.

I WAS SO HURT.

THAT REALLY HURT MY FEELINGS
BECAUSE SHE KNOWS BETTER.

I AM SO DISAPPOINTED.
- I UNDERSTAND.

- EXTREMELY.

- HOW ARE YOU?
- HEY.

- HI.
- HOW ARE YOU?

- TOWANDA.
- BROOKLYN.

- HI, BROOKLYN.
- HI, LOVE YOUR NAME-- TAMAR.

- TRINA AND I HAVE
BEEN STUDYING ACTING

FOR A WHILE NOW.

TAMAR THINKS IT'S
A WASTE OF TIME,

SO WE DECIDE THAT
TAMAR SHOULD COME ALONG

TO SEE WHAT
IT'S ALL ABOUT.

- WE ARE GOING TO DO SOME
BREATHING EXERCISES.

WHEN WE EXHALE, WE'RE
GONNA RELEASE A SOUND

BASED ON HOW YOU
FEEL RIGHT NOW.

- HUH!

- I'M LIKE WHAT IN THE HELL
IS THAT SOUND SHE'S MAKING?

SHE FREAKIN'
ME OUT.

- YOU GOTTA EXHALE
OUT OF YOUR MOUTH.

THERE YOU GO.

- I AIN'T GOT
NO MORE IN ME.

- YEAH, YOU DO.
- THAT'S JUST IT.

- UPTIGHT I SEE.

- WHO IS HE
CALLING UPTIGHT?

LIKE FOR REAL THOUGH, HE'S
A HAM... A HOT ASS MESS.

- THE NEXT EXERCISE IS A STREAM
OF CONSCIOUSNESS EXERCISE.

WHAT'S THE
BIGGEST THING

THAT'S BOTHERIN'
YOU THE MOST?

- I MARRIED A LOSER.

- OKAY.
- I MARRIED A [deleted].

- OKAY-- CLOSE YOUR
EYES FOR A SECOND.

SEE-SEE THE [deleted] AND
WHEN YOU OPEN YOUR EYES

JUST TELL HIM EVERYTHING
YOU FEEL ABOUT HIM

AND THE SITUATION AND GET
YOUR POWER BACK RIGHT NOW.

- YOU ARE
A [deleted] LOSER.

ALL I NEEDED FROM
YOU WAS TO BE A MAN,

TO TAKE CARE
OF YOUR HOUSEHOLD.

TAKE CARE OF US.

TAKE CARE OF THE KIDS
AND YOU CAN'T DO IT.

YOU CAN'T
SCRAMBLE NOW.

YOU'RE 50 YEARS OLD.

YES, 50 YEARS OLD ACTIN'
LIKE YOU ARE 12.

TAMAR.

- I AM SORRY--
TOWANDA, I'M SORRY.

- IT'S NOT FUNNY--
LET HER FINISH.

- WHAT?

- I DIDN'T SAY NOTHING--
I JUST FELL OUT.

OKAY, FOR REAL--
THIS IS NOT ACTING CLASS.

THIS IS, LIKE, SOME
THERAPY SESSION.

I MEAN, IF I WANTED
TO DO ALL THAT,

I COULD GO TO
THE FREE CLINIC.

- THANKS, BROOKLYN--
YOU'RE WELCOME.

GOOD TO MEET YOU.

DON'T KILL EACH OTHER--
- NEVER THAT.

- 'TIL I SEE
Y'ALL AGAIN.

- IT'S THE DAY BEFORE
THE TASTE OF ATLANTA.

WE HAVE TO DECIDE WHAT
WE ARE GONNA COOK.

WHO'S GONNA BE
THE BEST CHEF?

ME.
- HOW IS IT?

MY BLACKBERRY DUMPLING
WAS OFF THE CHAIN!

IT WAS GOOD.

IT WAS EXCELLENT.

- IT TASTES LIKE...
- WHAT IT TASTES LIKE?

INDESCRIBABLE,
ISN'T IT?

- THAT TASTED LIKE
ASS CRACK DOT COM.

- IS IT GOOD, WANDA?
- MM, NEEDS TO BE HOT.

- IT'S NOT
TOO SWEET?

- NO AMOUNT OF SUGAR
WAS GONNA MAKE

MOMMY'S BLACKBERRY
DUMPLINGS ANY BETTER.

WE JUST DIDN'T HAVE
THE HEART TO TELL HER

THAT IT WAS
HORRIBLE.

IT WAS JUST HORRIBLE AND
IT LOOKED LIKE PASTE.

IT LOOKED
LIKE GLUE.

PURPLE GRAPE GLUE--
HORRIBLE.

- I'M TELLING YOU, THAT WILL
BE THE TALK OF THE TOWN.

I'M BASICALLY THE
ONLY ONE THAT REMEMBERS

ALL OF THESE
RECIPES.

SO, I TRY TO
KEEP IT GOING.

I KNOW WHO WILL
CARRY THAT TRADITION.

- WE COULD NOT
STAND ANOTHER WORD

ABOUT THE STANK
BERRY DUMPLIN'.

SO, THANK THE LORD THAT TAMAR
CHANGED THE SUBJECT TO TRINA.

- I'M A LOT
CONCERNED ABOUT TRINA

AND WHAT SHE'S
BEEN DOIN'.

- SHE'S A
GROWN WOMAN.

AND THAT'S EXACTLY WHAT
I SAID THIS MORNING.

- BUT THAT DOES NOT MEAN
THAT YOU CAN'T HELP NOBODY.

CAN WE TALK ABOUT HER
20-25 POUND WEIGHT GAIN

AND HER DUI AND
SHE'S ON PROBATION.

- SHE GAINED WEIGHT.
- SHE NEEDS HER SPACE.

LET HER HAVE IT,
FOR GOD'S SAKE.

- IN MY PERSONAL OPINION,
TRINA IS DEPRESSED.

- WHAT'S WRONG WITH HER,
'CAUSE I DON'T WANT

ANYTHING TO HAPPEN TO
HER, AND ON THIS PATH,

THAT SHE'S GOING
IT'S NOT POSITIVE.

- I THINK WE SHOULD
TALK TO SOMEBODY.

I HAVE ALWAYS
SAID THAT.

WE PROBABLY NEED TO
BRING DR. SHERRY IN.

SHE'LL TELL US AT LEAST
HOW TO DEAL WITH IT

AND THEN SHE WILL SHOW
US WHAT TO DO WITH TRINA

AND THEN TRINA
MIGHT WANNA COME IN.

WE LOVE DR. SHERRY BLAKE,
OUR FAMILY THERAPIST.

SHE'S GREAT.

SHE'S BEEN DOIN' LITTLE
THINGS WITH OUR FAMILY

FOR A FEW
YEARS NOW.

WE HAVE TO FIGURE OUT
A WAY TO HELP HER

WITHOUT MAKIN' HER
FEEL ATTACKED,

'CAUSE SHE SAID TO US, "YOU
GUYS ARE ALWAYS ATTACKIN' ME.

"YOU NEVER
SUPPORT ME."

- THE INTERVENTION NEEDS
TO BE WITH DR. SHERRY.

SOMEBODY WHO'S-
WHO'S NOT BIASED.

SOMEBODY WHO GENUINELY
JUST WANTS TO HELP,

BECAUSE TRINA IS TOTALLY
NOT LISTENING TO US.

- SHE'S ALSO GONNA
FEEL LIKE YOU GUYS

WENT BEHIND HER BACK AND
YOU'RE IN HER BUSINESS.

- COMING UP ON
"BRAXTON FAMILY VALUES"...

- WE'RE CONCERNED
OF TRINA.

SHE'S BEEN
DRINKING A LOT.

- I FEEL LIKE
SHE'S A TIME BOMB.

- HEY, HOW ARE YOU?

EVERYBODY'S SITTIN'
AROUND WITH DR. SHERRY.

WHAT THE HELL'S
GOIN' ON HERE?

- MY SISTERS AND I HAVE ALL
TRIED TO TALK TO TRINA,

TO NO AVAIL.

SO, I THINK WE SHOULD
BRING IN A PROFESSIONAL.

DR. SHERRY BLAKE--
SHE'S ABSOLUTELY WONDERFUL.

AND TO CALM TRINA'S SPIRIT
AND TO GET HER RELAXED,

TOWANDA'S GONNA
TAKE HER TO A SPA.

- LOOK HOW DRY
MY SKIN IS.

- I KNOW.

- MY SKIN IS SO DRY
YOU CAN ACTUALLY WRITE

THE WORD "DRY" ON IT.

- SO, TRINA THINKS ALL WE'RE
DOIN' IS GOING FOR A MASSAGE.

BUT I'M TRYIN' TO GET
AWAY FROM THE HOUSE,

SO THAT MY
OTHERS SISTERS

AND MOMMY CAN HAVE
A DISCUSSION

WITH DR. SHERRY PRIOR
TO US COMING IN.

- I NEED SOMETHING WITH
A WHOLE BUNCH OF OIL BECAUSE--

- LOOK, SHE WROTE
DRY ON HER LEG.

- WE'LL TAKE
CARE OF THAT.

- IT'S SO NICE
TO GET A MASSAGE

AND PUT ALL YOUR
TROUBLES BEHIND YOU.

- COME ON IN.

WE'LL BE RIGHT IN HERE.
- OKAY, THANK YOU.

- TRINA, WE'LL BE RIGHT
HERE AT THIS TABLE.

- Y'ALL KNOW YOU CAN
ALWAYS CALL ME OVER.

I HAVE BEEN DOING A LOT OF
WORK LATELY WITH FAMILIES.

IT SEEMS LIKE THE
ISSUES ARE VERY SIMILAR

ACROSS THE BOARD.

- SHE'S A REALLY GOOD
FRIEND OF THE FAMILY.

SHE IS A CLINICAL
PSYCHOLOGIST.

SINCE SHE KNOWS
EVERY LAST ONE OF US,

SHE WON'T BE BIASED
WITH ANYTHING.

SHE'S A WOMAN THAT SPEAKS
HER MIND AND NEVER HOLD BACK.

- LET'S JUST START BY
TELLIN' ME WHAT'S GOING ON.

- TRINA HAS BEEN ON
A DOWNWARD SPIRAL.

UM, SHE GAINED
25 POUNDS.

SHE'S IN THIS BAND WHICH
SHE PUTS IN FRONT OF

PRETTY MUCH EVERYTHING.

SHE HAS A
DUI RECENTLY.

AND NOW SHE'S
ON PROBATION.

YA KNOW, SO--
- SHE'S BEEN DRINKING A LOT.

- YEAH, SHE'S BEEN
DRINKING A LOT.

- WE ALL WANT TO SEE
TRINA GET BETTER.

WE'RE DOING
THIS TO HELP HER.

WE DON'T WANT HER TO FEEL
BAD ABOUT ANY OF THIS.

I JUST HOPE SHE
REALIZES THAT.

- WE WENT TO GO TO
TALK TO HER HUSBAND

TO FIND OUT WHAT WAS THE
ROOT OF THE PROBLEM.

AND I FEEL LIKE HE'S
THE ROOT OF THE PROBLEM,

BECAUSE I THINK
HE'S A PSYCHOPATH.

- IS IT JUST ME OR HAS
TAMAR BEEN, LIKE,

THE DA GONE
PAPARAZZI,

ASKIN' A BUNCH OF
QUESTIONS ABOUT EVERYTHING?

- SHE THINK SHE'S
EVERYBODY'S MOTHER.

- SHE IS IN ALL
MY BEE'S WAX.

- IT'S ALWAYS
BEEN THAT WAY.

YOU'RE JUST
STARTIN' TO SEE IT.

YOU HAVE TO LEARN HOW TO
IGNORE TAMAR BEIN' A BUSYBODY.

YOU'RE TAMAR
AND I'LL BE ME.

- OKAY, SO TOWANDA, WHAT'S
GOIN' ON WITH YOU AND ANDRE.

WHAT ARE YOU AND
ANDRE GONNA DO?

HELLO.

WHY YOU JUST LAYIN'
THERE LOOKIN' AT ME?

YOU NOT
SAYING NOTHING.

- EXACTLY--
DON'T SAY NOTHIN'.

- I THINK SHE IS
COMPLETELY UNHAPPY.

I FEEL LIKE SHE WANTS
GET OUT OF HER MARRIAGE.

AND I BELIEVE IT'S
DRIVING HER CRAZY.

- I THINK THE INTERVENTION
COULD BE A GOOD THING.

I WANT TO HELP HER TO
SHOW HER IT'S OKAY.

YOU HAVE TO TALK
TO SOMEBODY.

- DO YOU SHARE
THE SAME FEELINGS?

DO YOU ALL--

- I FEEL LIKE
SHE'S A TIME BOMB.

- IT DOESN'T SOUND GOOD TO
ME, YOU KNOW WHAT I MEAN,

AND MATTER OF
FACT IT HURTS

THAT TRINA IS GOIN'
THROUGH ALL OF THIS.

MAYBE SHE NEEDS THIS
BAND THAT SHE'S IN.

AND MAYBE A PART OF HER FEELS
LIKE SHE NEEDS THIS MAN.

THERE ARE CERTAIN THINGS
THAT ARE GOING ON IN HER LIFE

THAT WE MAY
NEVER KNOW ABOUT

BECAUSE SHE'S NOT
GOING TO SHARE IT.

SO, I AM GLAD THAT YOU
ARE HERE THAT YOU CAN

MAYBE GET SOME TYPE OF
CENSUS OF WHAT'S GOING ON,

BUT AT THE SAME TOKEN,
I DON'T WANT HER ATTACKED.

- AFTER THE SPA,

TOWANDA SUGGESTS WE GO TO
TONI'S HOUSE TO HANG OUT.

- TRINA.
- TRINA.

- HEY, YOU.
- HI.

- HEY.
- HEY, HOW ARE YOU?

I WALK IN AND EVERYBODY'S
SITTING AROUND

WITH DR. SHERRY.

WHAT THE HELL'S
GOIN' ON HERE?

- 'CAUSE I'VE BEEN
ASKED TO COME.

WE'VE BEEN CHATTING.

- AND SO, AS WE
HAVE BEEN TALKING

I'VE HEARD A
LOT OF CONCERNS.

I WANT TO KNOW WHAT'S
GONNA ON WITH YOU

AND DO THEY HAVE ANY
REASONS TO BE CONCERNED?

- WHOA-WHOA-WHOA!

THEY'RE DOIN' AN INTERVENTION
FOR ME WITH DR. SHERRY?

NOT COOL...
ABSOLUTELY NOT COOL.

WOW-- DR. SHERRY
THAT'S PRETTY DEEP.

BECAUSE I FEEL
LIKE I'M OKAY.

I FEEL LIKE I HAVE MY
LIFE UNDER CONTROL.

- JUST LIKE SHE HAD
THAT CAR UNDER CONTROL

WHEN SHE
HAD THAT DUI.

MM-MM--
I DON'T THINK SO.

DO YOU HAVE ANY IDEA WHY THEY
WOULD BE CONCERNED AT ALL?

- NO-- I'D
LIKE TO KNOW.

INQUIRING MINDS
WANNA KNOW.

I HAVE SEEN A
CHANGE IN TRINA.

I'VE SEEN THE FACT THAT
SHE'S SOMETIMES IS DEPRESSED.

THERE'S SOMETHING
THERE THAT MAYBE

IS HINDERING
HER A BIT.

- 'KAY, WHAT DO YOU
HEAR MOM SAYIN'?

- CAN I BE HONEST?

I FEEL LIKE I'M
IN CHARLIE BROWN.

I HEAR WHOMP-
WHOMP-WHOMP.

- NOW, SHE'S LIKE BLOCKING
OUT WHAT OTHER PEOPLE SAY.

SHE'S IN
TOTAL DENIAL.

- SO, YOU THINK MOM
WORRIES TOO MUCH?

- AS A MOM MYSELF,
YA KNOW, I WORRY.

SO, I JUST THINK THAT
SHE'S JUST BEING A MOM.

- THE FIRST THING I SAW IS
THAT YOU'VE NEVER BEEN

THIS LARGE BEFORE.

- NOT THAT
YOU'RE OVERWEIGHT.

- NO-- YOU'RE
OVERWEIGHT BUT FOR YOU.

- WE DID TALK TO
YOUR HUSBAND.

- MY HUSBAND?

WHY WOULD YOU GUYS
HAVE A SIDE CONVERSATION

WITH GABE AND NOT
EVEN TELL ME ABOUT IT?

TO ME, GOIN' BEHIND MY BACK
AND TALKIN' TO MY HUSBAND

IS CROSSIN' THE LINE.

WHY Y'ALL UP
IN MY BUSINESS?

BACK-BACK.

- HE DID EXPRESS TO ME
THAT YOU CHECKED OUT.

- HE FEELS THAT YOU
WERE DEPRESSED

AND HE NOTICED THE
CHANGES IN YOU, AS WELL,

WITH THE
WEIGHT GAIN

AND THEN, YA KNOW, YOU DRANK
A LITTLE BIT MORE THAN USUAL.

- I'M FEELING
A BIT OF BETRAYAL.

WHAT I DON'T
UNDERSTAND-- NUMBER ONE:

WHY THEY WOULD GO
DIRECTLY TO GABE?

- GABE IS A PSYCHOPATH.
- WAIT A MINUTE.

- HE GOT
TRACKING DEVICES!

HE COMIN'
TO GET HER!

I'M JUST SAYIN'
HE'S CRAZY!

- WAIT A MINUTE--
WAIT A MINUTE.

- HE'S A NUT
FROM OUTER SPACE!

- HEY, BUT
WAIT A MINUTE.

- I KNOW WHAT'S
WRONG WITH TRINA.

IT'S GABE.

THAT'S IT--
HE'S CRAZY.

YOUR HUSBAND NEVER
CALLED ME A "BITCH?"

- I'M SURE HE DID.

- NOW, YOU CALLIN'
ME ONE TO MY FACE.

HE DIDN'T COME
IN MY HOUSE

AND WAS GETTIN' READY TO
FIGHT ME IN MY OWN HOUSE?

[cross talking]

FIGHT YOUR HUSBAND.
- THAT DIDN'T HAPPEN?

THAT DIDN'T
HAPPEN, TOWANDA?

HE WASN'T TRYIN' TO
FIGHT ME IN MY OWN HOUSE.

- TAMAR HATES GABE.

SHE THINKS HE'S THE ONE
DRIVING TRINA CRAZY.

AND I SORTA
KINDA BELIEVE IT.

- GABE SAID HE WASN'T
GONNA BOW DOWN TO GABE

BECAUSE HE SAID
I'VE GOT MONEY TOO.

I GOT MONEY TOO--
YES THAT-THAT HAPPENED.

- WHAT THE HELL DOES THAT
HAVE TO DO WITH ANYTHING?

- NO-- 'CAUSE YOU ARE SAY
HE WANTED TO FIGHT YOU.

I AM TELLING YOU WHAT HAPPENED.
- HE DID.

HE CAME IN
MY FACE...

[cross talking]

HE WAS GONNA FIGHT VINCE.
- WHOA-WHOA-WHOA.

- STOP IT--
THIS IS ENOUGH.

GET IT TOGETHER--
I MEAN, YOU'RE SISTERS.

WE'RE SISTERS.

- YOUR HUSBAND IS
JEALOUS OF MY HUSBAND.

THAT'S THE MAIN PROBLEM.
- FOR WHAT?

- 'CAUSE WHY WOULD HE SAY-WHY
WOULD HE SAY I GOT MONEY TOO?

WHAT DOES THAT HAVE
TO DO WITH ANYTHING?

- TAMAR, SHUT UP!

- COMING UP ON
"BRAXTON FAMILY VALUES"...

- HE WAS SAYING HE WASN'T
BOWING DOWN TO NOBODY.

- TONI IS HIS BEST FRIEND--
SHE HAS MORE MONEY THAN HE DO.

LIKE, WHAT YOU
TALKIN' ABOUT?

- THIS IS NOT
ABOUT MONEY.

I'M FEELING SO
ATTACKED RIGHT NOW.

STOP.

- YOUR HUSBAND IS
JEALOUS OF MY HUSBAND.

THAT'S THE MAIN PROBLEM.
- FOR WHAT?

- 'CAUSE WHY WOULD
HE SAY I GOT MONEY, TOO?

LIKE, WHAT DOES THAT
HAVE TO DO WITH ANYTHING?

- TAMAR, SHUT UP!

HE WAS SAYIN' HE'S NOT
BOWIN' DOWN TO NOBODY.

- TONI IS HIS BEST FRIEND--
SHE GOT MORE MONEY THAN HE DO.

LIKE, WHAT YOU
TALKIN' ABOUT?

- THIS IS NOT
ABOUT MONEY!

I AM FEELING SO
ATTACKED RIGHT NOW.

GROWL, LIKE A
DUNGEON DRAGON.

I MEAN, IT'S JUST
LIKE OUT THERE.

I MEAN, IT'S JUST
LIKE KEEP PRESSING-

KEEP PRESSING-
KEEP PRESSING.

- HE'S A WANKSTA.
- WHO-- YOUR HUSBAND?

- YOUR MAN.

- OH, 'CAUSE MINE
AIN'T NO WANKSTA.

- HANG ON-- WHAT
IS A WANKSTA?

- I DON'T KNOW, SHE--
A HOOD RAT WORD.

- OOH...
I BEG YOUR PARDON.

I'M NOT A
HOOD RAT.

[inaudible]

- HEY, LET'S PAUSE.

I AM HEARING A LOT
OF UNDERLYING ANGER.

WHAT IS
THAT ABOUT?

- MY HUSBAND CHEATED
ON ME AND AS A RESULT

I STARTED
DRINKING MORE,

AS A RESULT, I
STARTED EATING MORE

AND GAINING WEIGHT AND
POURING MYSELF INTO MY BAND.

- A LOT OF STUFF
HAS HAPPENED.

AND I AM NOT SURE HOW
YOU HANDLED THIS STUFF

IN TERMS OF COMMUNICATING
WITH YOUR SIBLINGS

OR WITH YOUR MOM.

- BECAUSE I FEEL LIKE IT'S
MY LIFE AND MY MARRIAGE.

AND YA KNOW, EVERYONE
IN THEIR MARRIAGE

HAS CERTAIN THINGS THAT THEY
DIVULGE AND CERTAIN THINGS

THAT STAY BETWEEN
THEM AND THEIR SPOUSE.

- RIGHT.

- I THINK CERTAIN THINGS NEED
TO STAY BETWEEN ME AND MINE.

- BUT THE WHOLE POINT OF THE
MATTER IS THAT IT'S A PROBLEM.

- TAMAR, YOU ALWAYS
HAVE SOMETHING TO SAY

AND THEN YOU
ALWAYS ACT LIKE

AND THEN EVERYBODY ACT
LIKE IT'S MY FAULT.

- STOP.
- WHAT ARE YOU TALKING ABOUT?

WHY ARE YOU
SO DEFENSIVE

WHEN IT COMES TO
WHEN I SAY SOMETHING?

- OH, HERE WE GO.

- WITH ALL THIS MOUTH, DO
I LOOK LIKE I AM GOING

TO LET SOMEBODY
BEAT UP ON ME?

MM-MM-- SHE
DON'T DO THAT.

- THE ANGER
WITH TAMAR--

WHAT IS IT THAT YOU'RE
TRYIN' TO TELL HER?

- SOMETIMES, I JUST
WANT HER TO BE QUIET.

- WOW.

- I DIDN'T TALK BAD ABOUT
YOU OR TOWARDS YOU.

- YOU'RE RIGHT--
YOU DIDN'T SAY NOTHIN'.

- WHY IS EVERYTHING
GEARED TOWARDS ME.

- THIS HAS BEEN GOING ON WITH
TRINA AND TAMAR FOR YEARS

SINCE THEY
WERE TEENAGERS.

IT JUST SUPPRESSED
ITSELF FOR A WHILE.

SO, NOW IT'S
RESURFACED.

- HOLD ON-- LET ME HELP TRINA
BECAUSE I AM HEARING TRINA

SAYING "JUST LEAVE ME
ALONE," IN ESSENCE,

BUT ALSO I'M HEARING
YOU SAYING, "I'M HURTING."

- I FEEL JUDGED IN EVERY
ASPECT OF IT ALL.

LET'S TAKE AWAY ALL
THE OUTSIDE STUFF.

LET'S TAKE
AWAY THE BAND.

LET'S TAKE CAREER
COMPLETELY AWAY

AND TALK ABOUT
OUR RELATIONSHIPS.

WE CAN BE VERY JUDGMENTAL IN
OUR RESPONSES TO EACH OTHER.

AND SOMETIMES THAT'S NOT
WHAT YOU WANT OR NEED.

MY SISTERS MAKE ME CRY.

THEY MAKE ME MAD.

THEY MAKE ME WANT
TO PULL MY HAIR OUT

AND THEY MAKE ME WANNA THROW
'EM OVER A CLIFF SOMETIMES.

IN TERMS OF YOUR BEING
OKAY, ARE YOU OKAY?

- NO.

- THERE ARE A LOT
OF ISSUES GOING ON...

DUI AND
ALL OF THAT.

SO, WHAT DO
WE NEED TO DO?

- I FEEL LIKE IT IS MY
PROBLEM AND IT'S MY LIFE

AND I CAN DEAL WITH IT
THE WAY I CHOOSE TO.

I REALLY AIN'T FITTIN' TO
DO NOTHIN' TO HELP TRINA.

I CAN'T HELP HER.

- THE INTERVENTION
WAS REALLY ROUGH

AND I'M NOT SURE WHERE
IT'S HEADED FROM HERE.

I'M NOT SURE HOW THIS
IS GONNA PLAY OUT.

- WE GOT EVERYTHING?
- I DO.

- EVEN THE TARRAGON?

- CAN YOU STOP BEING
EVERYBODY'S BOSS?

- LET ME LOOK IN HERE--
LET ME JUST MAKE SURE.

- I AM GIVING ANDRE SOME
PAPERS-- SEPARATION PAPERS.

- ARE YOU SERIOUS?
- YEAH.

- I KNOW THAT TOWANDA IS
HAVING PROBLEMS WITH ANDRE,

BUT IN THE
BACK OF MY HEAD,

I'M THINKING AND HOPING
THEY'RE GONNA WORK IT OUT.

- YOU DON'T THINK YOU GUYS
CAN WORK IT OUT FOR REAL?

- I DON'T KNOW.

BUT I JUST KNOW I'M GIVING
HIM PAPERS-- SEPARATION PAPERS.

SOMETIMES PEOPLE
HAVE TO KIND OF SEE.

YOU KNOW
WHAT I MEAN?

IT HAS TO BE
PUT IN THEIR FACE

IN ORDER FOR THEM TO
UNDERSTAND THAT YOU'RE SERIOUS.

- I MEAN, I JUST
THINK THAT YOU GUYS

SHOULD TRY TO
WORK IT OUT.

- I KNOW THAT
TONI LIKE ANDRE

AND SHE WANTS US TO
WORK OUT OUR MARRIAGE.

BUT ANDRE, HE'S NOT STEPPIN'
UP TO MAKE A DECISION.

SO, I AM.

COME ON--
WE GOT TO GO.

- YEAH, BUT-- CAN
Y'ALL GO THROUGH COUNSELIN'.

HAVE Y'ALL DONE
COUNSELING YET?

- NOPE--
COME ON.

- IN THE STATE OF GEORGIA
YOU'VE GOTTA DO COUNSELING.

- SEPARATION--
NOT DIVORCE.

- OH.
- COME ON.

LET'S GO-- WE LATE,
WE'RE RUNNING LATE.

- WITH ALL THE DRAMA
WE'VE BEEN GOIN' THROUGH,

I'M PRETTY HAPPY ABOUT
THE TASTE OF ATLANTA.

I'M JUST KINDA
FEELING A LITTLE SORRY

FOR THE POOR SOUL
WHO'S GONNA HAVE TO EAT

MY MOM'S BLACKBERRY
DUMPLINGS.

- ARE YOU READY FOR THE
CULINARY EXCITEMENT

OF THE WHOLE WEEKEND?

I WANT YOU TO PUT YOUR HANDS
TOGETHER FOR THE BRAXTONS.

- HEY, ATLANTA!

- YEAH!

- SO, WHAT'S
THE TOUGHEST THING

ABOUT BEING THE BRAXTON
SISTERS IN THE KITCHEN?

- YES-YES.

I AM REALLY THE
CHEF OF THE FAMILY.

- NO, SHE IS NOT.
- OH!

ARE WE STARTING
UGLINESS ALREADY?

WELL, WHAT ARE WE
GONNA COOK HERE TODAY?

- WE'LL GO
TO MY MOM.

OKAY, SO THIS IS
MY MOM-- MRS. E.

- I'M GONNA MAKE
THE GREATEST DISH

THAT YOU HAVE
EVER TASTED, OKAY?

- THIS IS GONNA
BE A TRAIN WRECK.

I CAN'T LOOK.

- SO, TRACI'S GOING TO
DUMP SOME BLACKBERRIES

INTO THE POT.

WE'RE GOING TO USE
ONE CUP OF SUGAR.

- THAT LOOKS
LIKE TWO CUPS.

- THAT LOOKS LIKE
TWO AND A HALF CUPS.

- EVERYBODY WANTS TO BE
THE MOTHER OVER HERE.

THEN WE WILL ADD
JUST A PINCH OF SALT.

WHERE'S THE THING?

I'M TALKIN' TO THE
SPOON FOR GOD'S SAKE.

THE GOOD THING ABOUT
TASTE OF ATLANTA,

I WAS EXCITED
WATCHING MY GIRLS COOK

AND WATCHING THEM
COME TOGETHER

AND JUST HAVING
A GOOD TIME.

[cross talking]

- BEING THERE WITH
MY SISTERS COOKING,

IT BROUGHT
BACK OLD TIMES

WHEN WE WAS YOUNGER
IN THE KITCHEN COOKING

AND MY MOM TEACHING
US HOW TO COOK.

I'M HAVING SUCH
A WONDERFUL TIME.

- NOW, MY MOM RIGHT NOW SHE'S
MAKING THE DUMPLINGS.

- IT SHOULD BE READY.
- SHOULD BE READY?

LET'S SEE.

- MY DUMPLINGS ALWAYS
COME OUT RIGHT.

- THEY NEED A LITTLE BIT MORE
TIME TO FIRM UP A LITTLE BIT.

- BUT THE DUMPLINGS WERE
REALLY SOFT AND MUSHY

AND I DON'T
KNOW WHAT HAPPENED.

- THIS IS THE WORST
BATCH I'VE EVER MADE.

- ALL RIGHT,
BACK TO CLASS.

- THE DUMPLINGS WERE TERRIBLE--
THEY WERE LIKE POOPIES.

POOPIES JUST DROPPING
INTO THE SAUCE.

NOT GOOD.
- HOW ABOUT THIS?

WHAT IS THE NASTIEST THING
MRS. E. HAS EVER MADE?

- THIS RIGHT HERE.

- MRS. E., WHAT IS
THE BEST LESSON

THAT YOU HAVE
TAUGHT THESE GIRLS?

- OKAY-- TO
STICK TOGETHER.

- ABSOLUTELY.

- YOU MAY HAVE
YOUR ARGUMENT

OR WHAT-HAVE-YOU,
BUT YOU'RE FAMILY.

- THEY ARE THE
BRAXTON FAMILY.

YOU DON'T NEED
ANY OTHER NAME.

TALENT, BEAUTY,
DISTINGUISHED, AWESOME...

THE BRAXTONS!

[cheering and applause]

- WHOO--
THANK YOU!

- THANK YOU, GUYS SO MUCH--
WE HAD A GREAT TIME.

WE HOPE TO SEE YOU
GUYS AGAIN NEXT YEAR.

- HOPEFULLY, THIS WILL SAVE
THE WORLD FROM DESTRUCTION

AND PUT THIS BLACKBERRY
DUMPLING MESS TO REST,

ONCE AND FOR ALL.

- ON THE NEXT EPISODE OF
"BRAXTON FAMILY VALUES"...

- WE'RE GONNA GO TO MIAMI.
- WHEN?

- TOMORROW.
- TOMORROW?

- YEAH--
YOUR BIRTHDAY.

- TRINA IS
THE FREAKY ONE.

- I THINK I'M
TRI-SEXUAL.

I'LL TRY SOMETHING ONE
TIME TO SEE IF I LIKE IT.

- YOU BE GETTIN'
WITH GIRLS?

I'M JUST TRYING
TO TELL Y'ALL

THIS KIND OF DUDE HERE
IS TOTALLY DIFFERENT.

POINT, BLANK...
PERIOD.

- SO, WHAT'S GOIN'
ON WITH YOU?

- DO I SEEM LIKE
I AM UNHAPPY?

- EVERYBODY HAS A DIFFERENT
JOURNEY AND A DIFFERENT PATH.

- BUT I'M NOT
TRYIN' TO DO THAT.

IT IS JUST A LITTLE
DISCOURAGING.

YOU KNOW
WHAT I MEAN?

- WELL, YA KNOW, YOU
SHOULD STOP THEN.

YOU SHOULD JUST GO
AHEAD AND BE BEAUTIFUL

AND BE A WIFE TO ME.

- NO, I JUST WANT TO
BE DEFINED AS TAMAR,

AND NOT TONI'S LITTLE SISTER
AND VINCENT HERBERT'S WIFE.
