- YOU ALL SHOULD BE ASHAMED OF YOURSELVES.

- MICHAEL WILL BE OUR MALE MODEL.

- OH-OH. - OKAY.

- NO, ARE YOU TYING STUFF AROUND THE COLUMNS?

ARGH!

- THIS IS A MESS DOT ORG.

- IT IS COMPLETELY DISRESPECTFUL AND I RESENT IT.

- [deleted] YOU, TAMAR.

- 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

- IT'S MY MOM'S BIRTHDAY AND I'M REALLY EXCITED

BECAUSE SHE TURNS THE BIG 6-0.

I'M SO EXCITED FOR HER

AND I REALLY WANT TO MAKE THIS DAY SPECIAL.

[phone ringing]

- HEY, TAY.

- IT'S SO COLD.

I CAN'T BELIEVE HOW COLD IT IS.

IT IS MOMMY'S BIRTHDAY

AND I DON'T THINK WE CAN PLAN ANYTHING HERE

'CAUSE IT'S TOO COLD-- NO ONE'S GONNA SHOW UP.

IT'S FREEZING HERE.

- WE USUALLY TRY TO GET TOGETHER

AND DO SOMETHING FOR MY MOM IN ATLANTA,

BUT THIS YEAR, WE DECIDED TO MOVE

THE BIRTHDAY PARTY FOR MY MAMA TO L.A.

TO MY HOUSE-- TO THE SUNSHINE.

- DUH.

I TRY TO TELL THEM TO COME OUT ALL THE TIME.

THEY DON'T WANT TO DO THAT.

- YOU KNOW WHAT-- I'MA COME.

I'MA TALK MOMMY INTO IT.

- I WILL CALL THE GIRLS.

- OKAY. - OKAY-- BYE.

- TOWANDA, TRINA AND TRACI ALL AGREE TO MEET UP IN L.A.

TO DO THE SURPRISE BIRTHDAY PARTY FOR MY MOM.

NOW, MY MOM WAS SUPPOSED TO COME EARLIER,

BUT SHE DIDN'T WANNA LEAVE HER DOG JACKSON

IN THE KENNEL TOO LONG, SO--

SOMETIMES, I WONDER IF SHE LOVES JACKSON

MORE THAN SHE LOVE US?

- TERRENCE LEE JONES!

- TOWANDA, DARLING-- HOW ARE YOU?

- HI! - YOU LOOK FABULOUS.

- MR. TERRENCE LEE JONES IS VOCAL COACH EXTRAORDINAIRE.

- TURN FOR ME... FABULOUS.

- I DECIDE TO CALL OUR OLD VOCAL COACH, TERRENCE,

SO WE CAN REHEARSE SINGING.

IF WE'RE GONNA DO THIS ALBUM TOGETHER,

WE HAVE TO HAVE THIS SINGING DOWN PAT.

- MAKE SURE TO TELL HIM IT'S LIME KOOL-AID.

- TERRENCE LEE JONES. - HELLO, GIRLS.

TRINA. - TERRENCE.

- TAMAR. - HEY, BABY.

TRACY-- WHAT ARE WE DRINKING?

-LIME JUICE. - LIME KOOL-AID.

- WITH LIME POTATO CHIPS?

COME ON.

YOU'RE GONNA DO AN OVERDOSE ON LIME

AND YOU HAVE A VOCAL LESSON AND THAT'S ACIDIC.

- I DIDN'T DO THAT.

- WE DON'T EVEN DRINK LIME KOOL-AID,

BUT SHE TELLS HIM IT IS KOOL-AID

AND HE BELIEVES HER.

- TRINA YOU'RE NOT LISTENIN'.

YOU HAVE THAT ACID IN YOUR HAND

RIGHT BEFORE MY VERY EYES.

I ASKED YOU TO DRINK A LITTLE WATER, PLEASE.

- BUT I DIDN'T DRINK IT-- I'M JUST HOLDING IT.

- THAT MAKE SENSE.

- HEY, TERRENCE. - TONI BRAXTON!

- HEY, GIRLS. - HELLO.

- HEY, TERRENCE-- I JUST WANTED TO SAY HEY.

IS THAT ALCOHOL? - NO!

- NO, IT'S LIME-- IT'S LIME KOOL-AID.

- IT'S LIME KOOL-AID, BUT IT'S ACIDIC

AND I TELL THEM NOT TOO... - IT'S LIME KOOL-AID?

- YEAH, WHICH IS ACIDIC-- NOT GOOD FOR THE VOCAL CHORDS.

WILL YOU DISPOSE OF IT?

- IT'S BAD TO SING WHEN YOU A SINGER, PERIOD.

AND, YA KNOW, THAT'S WHY WE DON'T REALLY DO IT OFTEN.

LIKE, IF WE'RE NOT AROUND EACH OTHER,

WE DON'T HAVE A BUNCH OF DRINKS.

- I SMELLED THE GLASS AND I KNEW INSTANTLY.

AND THEN, THEY LIED AND SAID IT WAS KOOL-AID.

WHAT ARE WE, 13? - NO, THAT AIN'T MINE.

- YOU DON'T DRINK BEFORE YOU SING-- ARE YOU CRAZY?

- TAMAR WAS DRINKING TOO AND SO WAS TOWANDA.

- I CAN'T BELIEVE YOU'RE DRINKING BEFORE REHEARSAL.

I'M-I CAN'T TALK ABOUT IT.

- YOU ALL SHOULD BE ASHAMED OF YOURSELVES.

"YOU CAN'T HAVE THAT.

"OH MY GOD-- WHAT ARE YOU DOING TO YOUR VOCAL CHORDS?"

HE'S ABSOLUTELY RIGHT.

- WHAT?

- I'M GONNA GIVE YOU A LITTLE TEST.

- I AM NOT-- I DON'T NEED VOCAL TRAINING.

- OH! - WE ALL NEED VOCAL TRAINING.

- I DON'T NEED VOCAL TRAINING-- I DON'T NEED IT.

- YOU DON'T NEED ANY COACHING? - NOT FOR THIS PROJECT.

- YOU'RE DI--

- TONI IS LIKE, "I BEEN DOIN' THIS FOR A LONG TIME.

"AIN'T NO NOTHIN' NOBODY CAN TELL ME, BOO.

"I GOT THIS."

- Y'ALL CAN SING WHATEVER YOU WANT.

WE'RE GONNA GET YOU UP TO SPEED.

- TOWANDA'S ON THE PHONE. - I'M NOT.

- TOWANDA, WOULD YOU STAY PRESENT WITH US?

- I KNEW THAT HAVING A COUPLE OF COCKTAILS

BEFORE A VOCAL LESSON IS NOT A BEST IDEA,

BUT I WAS THE ONLY PERSON

TAKIN' THE SITUATION SERIOUS.

- singing: GOD IS THE JOY

AND STRENGTH IN MY LIFE

HE MOVES ALL PAIN AND MISERY--

- SOMEBODY'S FLAT.

- singing: HE PROMISED TO KEEP ME

GOD IS

- IT WASN'T BAD, BUT IT WASN'T GREAT.

- "RUSTY" IS A GOOD TERM TO USE.

- singing: GOD IS - TAMAR.

- singing: GOD IS - FLAT-RIZATION.

- YES, IT IS. - I AM NOT FLAT.

- YOU WERE JUST NOW. - OH, NO!

- TAMAR, IT'S OKAY.

EVERYBODY GETS FLAT NOW AND THEN.

- I DON'T GET FLAT. - YES, YOU DO.

YOU JUST DID. - I DON'T GET FLAT.

I DO HAVE PERFECT PITCH.

I CAN INSTANTLY TELL THE DIFFERENCE

WHEN IT IS THE RIGHT NOTE AND WHEN IT IS NOT.

- singing: I KNOW

I KNOW I KNOW I KNOW I KNOW I KNOW

- THAT WAS YOU'RE NOTE RIGHT THERE-- KNOW-KNOW-KNOW

- I WAS UP THERE, BOO-- I WAS ON IT.

- OF COURSE, YOU KNOW, I HAVE TO STICK MY NOSE

AROUND THE CORNER JUST TO CRITIQUE IT A BIT.

- COME ON, TAMAR BRAXTON--

WE KNOW YOU CAN HIT ALL THOSE HIGH NOTES.

- BOOM.

MY SISTERS-- BOY, WE DO HAVE A LOT OF WORK AHEAD OF US.

- singing: I KNOW I KNOW I KNOW I KNOW I KNOW

- singing: I... I KNOW

- LATELY, I'VE BEEN DOIN' A LOT OF TRAVELIN'

BACK AND FORTH BETWEEN ATLANTA AND L.A.,

AND I'M KIND OF THINKING

MAYBE I NEED TO BE AN L.A. GIRL.

MAYBE I SHOULD RELOCATE THERE.

- OKAY-- SO, ARE YOU REALLY, REALLY SERIOUS

ABOUT MOVING TO L.A. FOR REAL-FOR REAL?

- I'M SO SERIOUS-- I'M OUT OF GEORGIA.

- THIS WAS LIKE REALLY DRASTIC.

THIS WAS LIKE NIGHT AND DAY.

- YEAH, WHY THE SENSE OF URGENCY?

- BECAUSE I FEEL LIKE I'M SUFFOCATING IN GEORGIA.

IT'S LIKE, I NEED TO BE OUT IN THE MIX A LITTLE BIT.

I JUST-- I'VE DONE IT.

I'VE BEEN IN ATLANTA SINCE THE '90s.

IT'S TIME FOR ME TO REINVENT MYSELF.

I'VE BEEN FEELING DOWN FOR A BIT ABOUT BEING A MOM

WITH A SPECIAL NEEDS CHILD.

AND HAVING LUPUS HAS DEFINITELY MADE IT...

CHALLENGING MOST OF THE TIME FOR ME TO WORK.

AND I AM FINALLY FEELIN' GREAT.

SO, I THINK THIS IS THE PERFECT PLACE.

SINCE I'VE BEEN ILL, I'M LIKE--

I FEEL LIKE I AM GETTING A SECOND CHANCE

SINCE I HAVE BEEN FEELING BETTER.

I'M LIKE, YOU KNOW WHAT-- I WANT TO HAVE FUN.

I WANT TO LIVE A LITTLE BIT AND NOT BE IN A BOX

ALL THE TIME.

- I ABSOLUTELY HATE THE IDEA OF TONI

MOVING BACK TO LOS ANGELES.

I AM USED TO HER BEING JUST TEN MINUTES AWAY.

I'M JUST USED TO OUR KIDS PLAYIN' TOGETHER.

- YA KNOW, I WANT YOU HERE-- THAT'D BE GREAT FOR ME.

I AM SO EXCITED ABOUT TONI AND THE BOYS MOVING TO L.A.

I DON'T KNOW WHAT TO DO WITH MYSELF.

I AM SO SICK OF BEING OUT THERE BY MYSELF.

- LIFE IS SHORT-- YOU JUST NEVER KNOW.

IT IS-- LIVE.

- SINGING AND DANCING ON STAGE AND THEN--

- SPEAKING OF LIVING,

I THINK TRINA AND GABE SHOULD WORK IT OUT.

- WHAT Y'ALL GONNA DO-- YOU GONNA WORK IT OUT?

- I ASKED TRINA HOW SHE AND HER HUSBAND WERE DOING

IN THEIR RELATIONSHIP. - WE'RE STILL THERAPY.

- YOU'LL GET OVER THE INFIDELITY?

- YEAH.

- HOW DOES THAT WORK?

TAKING YOUR HUSBAND BACK AFTER HE HAS CHEATED ON YOU?

- WHEN YOU DECIDE THAT YOU'RE GONNA FORGIVE SOMEBODY,

YOU DON'T KEEP REHASHING IT.

I UNDERSTAND HOW IT COULD HAVE HAPPENED.

- YOU TAKE THE BITTER-- YOU TAKE THE SWEET.

- THERE ARE SOME THINGS THAT I DON'T KNOW

IF I COULD JUST OVERLOOK

AND JUST GET RIGHT BACK INTO THE SWING OF THINGS.

- TAMAR BEEN MARRIED FOR TWO YEARS.

IT'S NOT ALWAYS GONNA BE A HONEYMOON.

HUH?

- IF YOU MAKE IT THAT LONG?

WHAT IS TRACI TALKING ABOUT?

MY MARRIAGE?

UH-UH-- BABY, MY MARRIAGE IS FINE.

THANK YOU VERY MUCH-- BOOM.

I JUST WANT TO KNOW WHERE DID THAT COME FROM?

- WHAT DID I SAY, TAMAR?

REWIND IT PLEASE.

- WHAT YOU SAID WAS "IF YOU MAKE IT."

IT'S COMPLETELY DISRESPECTFUL.

- THIS HAS BEEN GOING ON WITH TRACI AND TAMAR

SINCE THEY WERE TEENAGERS.

- TAMAR, SOMETIMES, YOU JUST GOTTA KEEP YOUR MOUTH SHUT.

I'M NOT TALKIN' TO YOU! - FOR REAL, TAMAR?

- WHAT DID I SAY TO YOU?

- SOMETIMES, KEEP YOUR MOUTH SHUT.

- WHAT DID I SAY TO ABOUT YOU?

- TAMAR!

- AND THAT IS COMPLETELY OFFENSIVE.

- WHAT DID I SAY BEFORE I SAID, "IF YOU MAKE IT?"

- IT-IT WOULD OFFEND YOU.

- WHAT DID I SAY BEFORE I SAID "IF YOU MAKE IT?"

- IT-IT WOULD OFFEND YOU.

- WHAT DID I SAY BEFORE I SAID "IF YOU MAKE IT?"

- VINCE AND I HAVE BEEN LIVIN' TOGETHER FOR SEVEN YEARS.

- JUST BECAUSE YOU HAVE BEEN TOGETHER FOR SEVEN YEARS...

- WHATEVER, TRACI!

- WHEN YOU ARE MARRIED TO SOMEBODY

AND YOU IN THE SAME HOUSE, SAME ROOM, EVERYDAY--

YOU GONNA WANT YOUR SPACE.

TAMAR WAS JUST OUT OF CONTROL--

WOULD SAY ANYTHING OUT OF HER MOUTH.

I'M NOT SAYING IT'S GOIN' HAPPEN.

YOU JUST DON'T BLOW UP JUST TO BE BLOWIN' UP

SOME OF THE TIMES.

SOMETIMES, YOU HAVE TO SIT BACK AND LISTEN TO EVERYTHING.

IT IS NOT JUST PULL OUT ONE THING.

- THAT'S NOT WHAT HAPPENED, TRACI.

GO AHEAD BECAUSE YOU WANNA BE RIGHT.

EVERY TIME I SAY SOMETHING, IT'S LIKE I AM DENSE.

I AM STUPID.

LIKE, I DON'T KNOW WHAT I'M TALKIN' ABOUT.

- DID I SAY THAT? - YOU JESUS.

YOU'RE ON THE CROSS-- I AM SORRY I CRUCIFIED YOU.

- TRACE, DON'T BE DISRESPECTFUL THOUGH

WHEN SOMEBODY'S TRYING TO TALK TO YOU-- THAT'S WRONG.

- BECAUSE I'M TELLIN' YOU HOW I FEEL?

NOW, I'M DISRESPECTFUL?

[deleted] YOU, TAMAR.

- COMING UP, ON "BRAXTON FAMILY VALUES."

- SO, NOW, WHAT YOUR APOLOGY IS SAYING IT'S MY FAULT

'CAUSE I DIDN'T GIVE YOU A CHANCE

TO SAY WHAT YOU WANTED TO SAY, SO THEREFORE,

YOU SAID SOMETHING THAT WAS VERY DISRESPECTFUL

AND DEGRADING.

- SEE, YOU'RE GETTING UPSET ABOUT THAT NOW.

IT IS LIKE YOU ARE UNDERHANDEDLY UPSET

ABOUT SOMETHING ELSE.

- YOU CAN TAKE THAT APOLOGY AND SHOVE IT-- I'M DONE!

- IT IS COMPLETELY DISRESPECTFUL.

- WHAT DID SAY, TAMAR-- REWIND IT, PLEASE.

- WHAT YOU SAID WAS, "IF YOU MAKE IT."

- SOMETIMES, YOU HAVE TO SIT BACK AND LISTEN TO EVERYTHING.

IT'S NOT JUST PULL OUT ONE THING.

- THAT'S NOT WHAT HAPPENED, TRACI.

- GO AHEAD-- 'CAUSE YOU GONNA BE RIGHT.

EVERY TIME I SAY SOMETHING, IT IS LIKE I AM DENSE,

I AM STUPID, LIKE I DON'T KNOW WHAT I AM TALKING ABOUT.

YOU JESUS, YOU ON THE CROSS--

I'M SORRY I CRUCIFIED YOU.

- TRACI, DON'T BE DISRESPECTFUL THOUGH

WHEN SOMEBODY'S TRYING TO TALK TO YOU.

THAT'S WRONG.

- 'CAUSE I'M TELLIN' YOU HOW I FEEL.

NOW, I'M DISRESPECTFUL?

[deleted] YOU, TAMAR.

NOW, I'M BEING DISRESPECTFUL.

I CAN'T SAY WHAT IN THE [deleted] I WANT TO SAY.

BUT THEN YOU ARE GOING TO SAY YOU CAN'T SAY NOTHING.

AND I BEEN LIKE THIS FOR ALL MY DAMN LIFE.

ONCE I BE QUIET AND NOT SAYING NOTHIN' TO NOBODY

THEN I'M THE BITCH, THEN I'M MAD.

THEN I'M SERIOUS.

THIS IS CRAZY. - YOU HAVE MISPLACED ANGER.

YOU'RE ANGRY AT SOMETHING ELSE... OBVIOUSLY.

- I AM ANGRY AT MY FARTS-- THAT I AM NOT [deleted] RIGHT.

HOW 'BOUT THAT? - OKAY.

- CAN WE JUST ALL GET ALONG?

- WHAT ARE YOU TALKIN' ABOUT, TRACI?

- MY FEELINGS ARE OBSOLETE AND YOURS ARE EVERYTHING.

SO, NOW, I AM DUMB AND STUPID AND EVERYTHING ELSE--

LIKE EVERYBODY HAVE ME BE.

- I WAS JUST TRYIN' TO TELL TAMAR THAT HER AND VINCENT

HAVEN'T BEEN MARRIED FOR A LONG TIME.

MARRIAGE IS HARD WORK.

THEN SHE BLOWS UP AT ME?

GOD FORBID FOR SOMEONE TO VOICE THEIR OPINION

IN THIS FAMILY.

SHUT THE [deleted] UP-- KISS MY ASS.

TAMAR, RUNS HER MOUTH 24/7,

BUT I AM SUPPOSED TO SIT HERE AND TAKE IT.

BUT AS SOON AS I SAY SOMETHING,

THEY LOOK AT ME LIKE I AM A DUMB OLD HOUSEWIFE

THAT DON'T KNOW ANYTHING.

THEY DON'T KNOW WHAT MY LIFE IS ABOUT.

Y'ALL MAKE IT LIKE I AM THE DUMB MOTHER[deleted]

IN THE FAMILY-- KISS MY ASS!

- CAN YOU BELIEVE TRACI CUSSED ME OUT IN MY HOUSE?

AND NONE OF MY SISTERS CAME TO MY DEFENSE.

NOBODY HAS MY BACK EVER.

I'M ALWAYS FIGHTING FOR LIKE MY POSITION.

WHEN SOMEBODY ELSE DOES SOMETHING WRONG TO ME,

NOBODY HELPS ME, EVER!

SO, I'M ALWAYS ON 20 BECAUSE I HAVE TO DEFEND MYSELF.

- I DON'T KNOW WHAT TO SAY.

- IT'S NOTHIN' TO SAY.

- YOU GONNA DRIVE? - YES, I'LL DRIVE.

- TRACI AND TAMAR ARE REALLY AT EACH OTHER'S THROATS.

I CANNOT HANDLE WHEN ME AND MY SISTERS FIGHT

AND PROLONG IT.

I'M GOING TO SETTLE THIS A LITTLE BIT.

I'M GONNA TAKE TRACI OUT WITH ME

TO LOOK AT SOME PROPERTY.

IF I AM GOING TO MOVE OUT HERE,

I NEED TO FIND SOMETHING QUICKLY FOR ME AND THE BOYS.

I LOVE ATLANTA, BUT I AM READY TO COME TO L.A.

I NEED CHANGE IN MY LIFE AND I AM READY TO BE YOUNG

AND SPIRITED AND HAVE FUN.

MAYBE I AM GOING THROUGH A MIDLIFE CRISIS.

IS THIS A MIDLIFE CRISIS?

- IT COULD BE-- IT COULD POSSIBLY BE.

- DOES IT HAPPEN IN YOUR EARLY 40s?

I LOVE SEEING REAL ESTATE

AND LOOKING AT DIFFERENT PROPERTIES.

SO, THIS IS RIGHT UP MY ALLEY-- I'M IN DISNEYLAND.

- OKAY, HOW YOU FEEL? - HOW YOU BEEN?

I'M GOOD-- HOW ARE YOU FEELING?

MUCH BETTER-- THIS IS MY SISTER, TRACI.

- HEY, TRACI-- HOW YA DOIN'.

THIS IS MARLENE.

- FOR ME, THE IDEAL HOME IS SOMETHING THAT'S A LITTLE BIT

CHILD FRIENDLY, BUT SOMETHING THEY CAN GROW INTO.

SOMETHING THAT ALLOWS MY KIDS TO PLAY OUTSIDE.

- RIGHT HERE'S THE MASTER.

- SITTING ROOM. - CAN YOU HAVE DOUBLE--

- OH, NICE.

- CHECK OUT THE DETAIL IN THE CEILING.

- I LOVE THAT.

THE MASTER SUITE TO ME IS VERY IMPORTANT.

THE GIRL IN ME COMES OUT.

I HAVE TO HAVE A ROOM THAT'S JUST MY OWN LITTLE RETREAT.

- NICE COZY BACKYARD. - LOVELY BACKYARD.

- ISN'T THAT NICE? - LOVELY BACKYARD-- LOVE THAT.

- OH, I LIKE THIS.

THIS IS REALLY, REALLY NICE.

- OH, THE PROPERTY WAS SO GORGEOUS,

BUT IT WAS ONLY THE FIRST PLACE I LOOKED AT,

SO I THINK SHOULD LOOK AROUND A LITTLE BIT MORE

TO FIND THE PERFECT PLACE.

- YOU'VE GOT SOME DECISIONS TO MAKE.

- I HAVE A SURPRISE FOR EVERYBODY.

- IT IS THE NEXT DAY,

AND TAMAR AND TRACI STILL ARE NOT SPEAKING.

TOWANDA SAYS SHE HAS SOME IDEA

THAT SHOULD HOPEFULLY REMEDY IT-- LET'S SEE.

- WHAT IS THE SURPRISE, TOWANDA?

- YOU READY-- LET'S GO OUTSIDE.

COME ON!

TA DA! - LOOKS LIKE PAINTING.

- SINCE MY SISTERS CAN BE A STICK IN THE MUD SOMETIMES,

I DECIDE WE SHOULD HAVE A FIGURE DRAWING CLASS.

- SO, WE ARE GOING TO DO SOME DRAWING TODAY.

- AND, UH-- - YOU READY TO GET STARTED?

- YEAH-- SHOULD BE FUN.

- AS YOU CAN SEE, WE HAVE FRUITS AND VEGETABLES

ON THE TABLE.

- IT LOOKS LIKE FRANK AND BEANS.

THE FRUIT REMINDS ME OF PORK AND BEANS.

YOU KNOW PORK AND BEANS ON A GUY.

- OKAY.

- OKAY, TONI BRAXTON-- LET'S SEE YOU DO THIS.

YOU'VE WON GRAMMYS-- YOU'VE WON AMAs.

LET'S SEE YOU DO THIS.

- IT'S A LITTLE EASY.

I'M NOT SURE WHAT HE'S REQUIRING FROM US

TO DRAW THAT BECAUSE HE SAID SOMETHING ABOUT

THE LIGHT SOURCE IS TO YOUR EAST OR SOMETHING.

I DIDN'T KNOW WHAT THAT MEANT.

- THAT LOOKS HORRIBLE, TOWANDA.

IT LOOKS LIKE A HORN.

- I'M NOT EVEN GOING TO SAY IT.

WHAT ARE THESE, OLIVES?

AND JALAPENO?

- IT SEEMS LIKE THE PLAN WORKED ON TAMAR,

BUT TRACI'S STILL UPSET THOUGH.

- YOU WANNA GET THE DETAILS RIGHT.

- GOOD JOB, TRACI.

- BECAUSE FROM YOUR ANGLE THAT IS THERE.

- RIGHT. - I DID MINE IN REVERSE.

- VERY GOOD. - I'M GETTING FRUSTRATED.

THIS IS BULL.

TRUTH BE TOLD, I'M STILL ANGRY WITH TAMAR.

- THIS IS WAY TOO EASY-- I'M GONNA NEED A CHALLENGE.

- OKAY-- MICHAEL.

- HI.

- OH-OH.

- MICHAEL, HE WILL BE OUR MALE MODEL.

- THE HUGE SURPRISE IS THAT WE WERE GOING TO

DRAW A NAKED MAN.

- IT JUST HAPPENED SO FAST.

HE JUST...

WHERE WOULD YOU LIKE IT?

I SAID WHAT...

- ALL RIGHT.

WE'RE GONNA START WITH THE HEROIC POSES

AND VERY HEROIC STUFF...

- OH, THAT'S THE POSE? - OH, OKAY.

- VERY GOOD-- WOW.

- IS THAT THE FRONT AND THE BACK?

- THANK YOU FOR YOUR, UH, YOUR AMAZING WORK.

- THANK YOU. - THANK YOU VERY MUCH.

- THANK YOU VERY MUCH.

- I DON'T KNOW IF MICHAEL FEELS COMFORTABLE

WITH ME SAYING THIS BUT HE HAS THE SMALLEST PENIS

I THINK I HAVE EVER SEEN IN MY LIFE.

NOT THAT I HAVE SEEN A LOT, BUT--

- THERE WERE BALLS ON MY TABLE.

- CAN WE BASK IN THE AMBIANCE OF THE FUN OF THE FUNNESS?

I WAS REALLY HOPING THAT TRACI AND TAMAR

WOULD JOKE ABOUT IT A LITTLE MORE.

BUT THEY DIDN'T EVEN LOOK AT EACH OTHER, NOT ONE TIME.

- MINCE IT JUST A LITTLE BIT MORE THAN THAT, TOO.

TRYING TO GET TRACI AND TAMAR TO MAKE UP NATURALLY

WASN'T GOING TO WORK, SO I DECIDED TO FORCE THE ISSUE.

I JUST WANT YOU AND TAMAR TO HAVE A CONVERSATION.

I DO BELIEVE THAT YOU OWE TAMAR AN APOLOGY

FOR BLOWING UP THE WAY YOU BLEW UP LAST NIGHT.

WE'RE SISTERS AND YOU GUYS

NOT SPEAKING TO EACH OTHER ISN'T COOL.

- I APOLOGIZE FOR CALLING YOU...

- NAMES.

- INAPPROPRIATE NAMES BECAUSE THAT'S NOT WHAT YOU ARE.

YOUR NAME IS TAMAR.

- DO YOU HAVE A BUT YOU WANT TO ADD, TRAY?

- I SAID, "I APOLOGIZE."

- NO, I SAID, "BUT IF YOU HAVE A BUT THAT YOU WANNA ADD."

- I DON'T HAVE A BUT.

- OKAY, I THOUGHT MAYBE THERE WAS MORE YOU WANTED TO ADD

OR SOMETHING.

- I SAID I WAS SORRY.

WHAT MORE DO THEY WANT?

I SHOULD HAVE SAID IT A DIFFERENT WAY

AND I APOLOGIZE.

- SHOULD'VE SAID WHAT A DIFFERENT WAY?

- ABOUT, YOU KNOW--

RIGHT NOW, YOU SOUND KIND OF MOMMY-ISH.

- OKAY-- I DON'T KNOW WHICH ONE YOU ARE TALKING ABOUT.

THE [deleted] YOU OR THE IF I MAKE IT.

I DON'T KNOW.

I DON'T KNOW WHICH ONE YOU ARE TALKING ABOUT.

SHE WAS LIKE, "FINE-- I AM SORRY."

THAT'S NOT AN APOLOGY AND IT'S NOT GOOD ENOUGH FOR ME.

YOU ARE CLEARLY UPSET ABOUT SOMETHING ELSE

AND YOU TOTALLY TOOK IT OUT ON ME.

YOU HAD A TEMPER TANTRUM AT ME

FOR SOMETHING YOU SAID AND DID TO ME.

- BECAUSE YOU DID NOT LET ME FINISH.

AND IT SEEMED LIKE-- - NOBODY EVER LETS ME FINISH.

- AND IT SEEMED LIKE YOU HAD SOME UNDERLINING UPSETNESS

UNDER YOU. - WHICH WOULD BE?

- BECAUSE WHY DO YOU GET UPSET EACH AND EVERY TIME

WHEN WE SAY ANYTHING ABOUT-ABOUT YOUR HUSBAND?

YOU SNAP AT EVERYBODY ELSE. - ABSOLUTELY NEVER.

- YES, YOU DO. - I JUST WANT TO KNOW

WHAT WOULD MAKE YOU SAY SOMETHING LIKE THAT?

AND THAT'S EXACTLY WHAT I SAID.

- I WAS JUST SAYING--

BUT-BUT, DID YOU JUST HEAR WHAT I SAID?

- I'M SORRY-- I LISTENED TO YOU.

OKAY-- GO AHEAD, TAMAR. - AND YOU GOT MAD.

- GENIUS. - EXCUSE ME?

WHAT DID YOU SAY? - GO AHEAD, TAMAR.

- YOU SAID SOMETHING ELSE AFTER THAT.

- GO AHEAD, TAMAR-- SAY WHAT YOU HAVE TO SAY.

- OKAY.

- TRACI APOLOGIZES TO TAMAR

AND IT WAS NOT GOOD ENOUGH FOR TAMAR.

SO, TRACI GET PISSED-- TRACI GETS AN ATTITUDE.

I JUST THOUGHT THAT THINGS WERE GONNA GET BETTER,

BUT IT DIDN'T-- IT GOT WORST.

- "OH, WHAT-- WHAT YOU MEAN?"

THAT'S WHAT YOU DID,

AND YOU DIDN'T REALLY GIVE ME A CHANCE...

- I GAVE YOU A CHANCE-- YOU SAID WHAT YOU SAID.

WHAT ARE YOU SAYING? SO, NOW--

- WHAT I AM SAYING...

- YOUR APOLOGY'S SAYIN' IT'S MY FAULT

BECAUSE I DIDN'T GIVE YOU A CHANCE

TO SAY WHAT YOU WANTED TO SAY.

- I DIDN'T SAY MY APOLOGY WAS YOUR FAULT.

- SO, THEREFORE YOU SAID SOMETHING

THAT WAS VERY DISRESPECTFUL AND DEGRADING.

- SEE-- YOU'RE GETTING UPSET ABOUT THAT NOW.

- TRACI, YOU CAN HAVE YOUR APOLOGY

AND TAKE YOUR APOLOGY AND SHOVE IT-- I'M DONE!

- I THINK TRACI AND TAMAR ARE ACTING MORE LIKE EACH OTHER

THAN THEY KNOW.

THEY'RE DOING THE SAME EXACT THINGS TO EACH OTHER.

I WISH I COULD HAVE A MIRROR,

SO THAT THEY COULD SEE THEMSELVES.

- THAT'S NOT APOLOGY-- ARE YOU KIDDING ME?

- YOU HAVE TO BE RECEPTIVE TO AN APOLOGY.

- WHEN SOMEBODY COMES TO YOU AND APOLOGIZES,

IT USUALLY COMES FROM A DIFFERENT PLACE.

IT USUALLY COMES FROM A PLACE WHERE THE OTHER PERSON

REALLY FEELS LIKE YOU'RE SORRY.

AND I HONESTLY, DON'T FEEL LIKE THAT

BECAUSE YOU'RE STILL MAKING IT MY FAULT.

TO ME, IT'S MEANINGLESS AND I DON'T--

I'M COOL-- I'M BETTER OFF WITHOUT IT.

- WELL, TAMAR, THAT'S YOUR OPINION.

IF YOU FEEL THAT WAY, I CAN'T MAKE YOU CHANGE HOW YOU FEEL.

POINT, BLANK, PERIOD.

- WELL, POINT, BLANK, PERIOD-- I'M DONE WITH IT.

- COMING UP ON "BRAXTON FAMILY VALUES."

- THIS IS A MESS.

NO-- EW!

THERE'RE NOT EVEN REAL CANDLES.

- BECAUSE WE HAVE KIDS. - WHAT ARE YOU DOING?

- THIS IS A MESS DOT ORG.

- TAMAR, TONI, TRINA!

- WHAT? - HUH?

- I THOUGHT WE WERE HAVIN' A MEETING.

- WE WERE SITTIN' HERE WAITING FOR YOU GUYS.

- WE NEED TO BRING THE FOCUS BACK

TO WHY WE ARE HERE IN L.A.

WE ARE HERE FOR MY MOM'S BIRTHDAY.

TO MAKE MY MOM HAPPY.

NOT FOR TAMAR AND TRACI TO BE FIGHTING.

- MOMMY TOLD ME SHE DOESN'T WANT ANY SURPRISES.

- WAIT A MINUTE-- DID WE GET HER ANYTHING?

OKAY-- HOW DO WE DO THIS?

I USED TO PICKING UP THE PHONE, CALLING THIS ONE,

CALLING THAT ONE IN ADVANCE.

THAT'S WHAT WE DO.

I AM NOT USED TO THIS LAST MINUTE.

SO, I AM STRESSING OUT A LITTLE BIT.

- I DIDN'T GET MOMMY'S GIFT-- WHO'S GETTING THE GIFT?

- I'LL GET THE GIFT-- I'LL GO WITH TRINA.

- THAT'S THE BLIND LEADIN' THE BLIND.

I DON'T THINK THAT'S A GOOD COMBINATION.

- WHAT-- TRACI AND TRINA?

- YEAH.

IT IS TRACI AND I'S RESPONSIBILITY

TO GO AND BUY THE GIFT.

BUT NO ONE TRUSTS US.

- DITSY AND DOE-DOE-- I DON'T KNOW.

- I'M RIGHT THERE WITH YOU, BOO.

- I DON'T KNOW. - THAT'S WHAT I'M TRYIN TO SAY.

- I KNOW WHATEVER TRINA AND TRACI BRING BACK

IS GOING TO BE CRAZY

BECAUSE TWEEDLE DEE AND TWEEDLE DUMB TOGETHER...

A DISASTER IS WAITING TO HAPPEN.

- WHAT ARE YOU THINKING OF GETTING HER?

- I DON'T KNOW.

- THE DOG, JACKSON, NEEDS SOME STUFF.

- SHE DOESN'T WANT ANYTHING FOR HER DOG.

- REALLY? - NO, I KNOW SHE DOESN'T.

- OKAY, NOTHING FOR JACKSON-- NOTHING FOR MOMMY'S DOG.

- SO, TONI SAYS "NOTHING FOR THE DOG."

SHE DON'T KNOW WHAT SHE IS TALKING ABOUT.

I ALREADY KNOW WHAT MOMMY WANTS.

SOMETHING FOR THE DOG-- SHE WOULD LOVE IT.

- THIS IS IT. - OH, THIS HOUSE.

IT'S A BIG HOUSE.

WHILE TRACI AND TRINA ARE OUT BUYING THIS FABULOUS GIFT

FOR MOMMY THAT I KNOW SHE'LL LOVE,

I'M GOING TO TAKE TAMAR AND TOWANDA OUT

WITH ME TO LOOK FOR SOME HOUSES.

- IT'S A GRAND TWO-STORY ENTRY.

ISN'T THAT INCREDIBLE? - HUH!

THAT'S LOVELY.

GIANT HUGE MASTER SUITE AS WELL AS HUGE CLOSET SPACES

FOR ALL OF MY SHOES AND PURSES.

- GIRL, YOU CAN HAVE HAKUNA MATATA IN THIS ONE HERE.

- WOW-- I MEAN, THIS HOUSE IS THE BOMB DOT COM.

IT REALLY IS-- THIS HOUSE IS BETTER THAN MY HOUSE

AND I LOVE MY HOUSE.

- HUH-- THAT'S PRETTY FABULOUS.

- NICE-NICE-NICE.

I WANT THIS HOUSE, BUT I'VE HAD HEALTH PROBLEMS,

WHICH LED TO FINANCIAL PROBLEMS.

AND BECAUSE OF MY BANKRUPTCY SITUATION,

IT DOESN'T ALLOW ME TO PURCHASE ANYTHING

FOR A MOMENT.

SO, I WANT TO MAKE SURE I STAY IN MEANS

OF SOMETHING THAT I CAN AFFORD.

- I'M SORRY-- IT MUST BE TOUGH

TO LOOK AT A HOUSE AND KNOWING THAT--

- I CAN GET IT BUT NOT NOW.

YOU CAN GET IT AND YOU HAVE BEEN ABLE TO GET WHATEVER

YOU'VE WANTED TO FOR SO LONG AND THEN LIKE--

- A BIT CHALLENGING...

A BIT CHALLENGING BECAUSE OF THE BANKRUPTCY, SO...

I FEEL LIKE I COULD WORK REALLY HARD

AND MAKE SURE IT HAPPENED, BUT IF I GOT REALLY ILL,

THEN THAT COULD FORFEIT EVERYTHING.

- I KNOW THAT TIMES ARE TOUGH FOR TONI

RIGHT NOW, FINANCIALLY.

BUT I KNOW SHE'S GOING TO TURN IT AROUND REAL SOON.

- I KNOW IN A YEAR YOU'LL BE FINE.

- YOU KNOW WHAT YOU HAVE TO UNDERSTAND IS

BEFORE YOU GOT SICK WAS THE TONI BRAXTON THEN.

THIS IS THE TONI BRAXTON NOW AND EMBRACE HER.

SHE STILL KNOWS HOW TO SING.

SHE CAN STILL SELL RECORDS.

SHE CAN STILL OUT DATES BECAUSE WE'VE SEEN IT.

YOU'VE DONE IT-- YOU WILL GET THERE.

- I'M SO EMBARRASSED ABOUT IT.

- PLEASE DON'T GET EMBARRASSED.

- I CAN'T HELP IT. - COME HERE.

- IT'S VERY HARD.

- YOUR DESTINATION IS AHEAD ON THE LEFT.

- THERE IT IS.

- WHILE TONI WENT HOUSE HUNTING,

TRACI AND I WENT TO GO BUY A GIFT FOR MOMMY'S BIRTHDAY

FROM ALL OF US GIRLS.

- WELL, HOPEFULLY, WE CAN FIND SOMETHING FOR MOMMY IN HERE.

THIS IS SUPPOSED TO BE A REALLY GOOD BOUTIQUE.

- YEAH.

- SHOPPING FOR MOMMY IS A PRETTY HARD THING TO DO.

SO, WHAT DO YOU GET?

IS IT FOR YOU GUYS OR? - THAT'S FOR US.

SORRY.

- WELL, IF YOU WANT TO TRY IT ON.

- WE DO HAVE TO FOCUS-- WE HAVE TO FOCUS.

- I HAD TO REALLY TELL MYSELF THIS IS NOT FOR ME.

MM-MM.

THIS LOOK LIKE ME.

IT'S SAYING TRACI ALL OVER IT.

HOW ARE YOU DOIN'?

OH MY GOD, THE SHOES.

- THESE ARE CUTE. - RIGHT?

THE DRESSES.

- THIS IS CUTE.. - RIGHT?

- FOR ME. - THE SHIRTS!

- THAT IS CUTE. - THIS IS REAL CUTE.

- THE STRUGGLE. - THAT'S CUTE-TA.

JUST A LITTLE SOMETHING. - YEAH-- HEY-HEY.

- HI, TRINA. - THESE ARE CUTE.

- ANYWAY FOCUS, MOMMY.

- I ALMOST FORGOT WHY WE WERE SHOPPING.

- OH. - YOU SEE THE DOGGIE?

- HI. - THIS IS COCO.

THAT'S OUR FLOOR DOG. - COME ON, COCO.

- LIKE COCO CHANEL. - OH, YOU MATCHIN' MY OUTFIT.

COME ON.

- THERE IS A DOG STORE RIGHT NEXT DOOR...

IF YOU WANT TO POP IN. - THERE IS?

- IT'S VERY GOOD-- IT'S A VERY GOOD DOG STORE.

- OH, GREAT. - THANK YOU.

- THAT LITTLE DOG WAS A SIGN.

AND THEN TO HAVE A LITTLE DOGGY STORE ACROSS THE STREET.

CLEARLY, THE UNIVERSE WANTED US TO BUY A GIFT

FOR MOMMY'S DOG FOR HER BIRTHDAY.

- WOW-- A WHOLE STORE DEDICATED TO DOG STUFF.

- MY SISTERS PROBABLY WON'T LIKE IT

BECAUSE THEY SAID DON'T GET ANYTHING FOR THE DOG.

MOMMY WON'T WANT ANYTHING FOR THE DOG.

- HELLO-- WELCOME TO LA DOGWORKS.

- THANK YOU.

MY MOM LOVES HER DOG.

I THINK MY MOM LOVES HER DOG JUST AS MUCH

AS SHE LOVES HER DAUGHTERS.

SO, WHY NOT GET A DOGGY GIFT?

- OH, MY GOODNESS-- THAT IS SO CUTE.

- IT'S A DOGGY BACKPACK-- I LIKE THIS.

- THERE YA GO.

- I THINK THIS IS THE PERFECT GIFT, ACTUALLY.

IT MAKES ME FEEL LIKE I AM CARRYING A LITTLE BABY.

- AND THIS IS KIND OF AN INDOOR DOGHOUSE.

- THAT'S SO CUTE.

EVEN TOUGH INITIALLY, TONI SAID NO DOG GIFTS,

I THINK SHE'LL CHANGE HER MIND AFTER SHE SEE THESE.

- I'M GLAD YOU FOUND SOMETHING FOR YOUR MOM.

- YES, I THINK THEY'LL LOVE IT.

I THINK THEY'LL BOTH ENJOY IT.

- GREAT-GREAT.

COMING UP ON "BRAXTON FAMILY VALUES."

- THIS IS GIFT NUMBER ONE-- WHEW!

SHE IS GOING TO LOVE THEM.

- LET ME SEE.

- I DIDN'T GET YOU THAT.

I KNEW WE SHOULDN'T HAVE SENT TRINA AND TRACI SHOPPING.

- I WANT MY MONEY BACK.

- MY MOM IS LANDING SHORTLY

AND WE ONLY A FEW HOURS BEFORE THE PARTY.

AND TAMAR HAS COMMISSIONED HERSELF

TO BE IN CHARGE OF THE DECORATIONS.

- THE HULA SHOW IS GONNA BE RIGHT THERE.

- THEN TURN IT AROUND LIKE YOU DO IN HAWAII.

JUST A SEC-- NO.

WE'RE GONNA SIT ALL LIKE THIS-- ALL AT ONE TABLE.

- AND LOOK OUT LIKE JESUS AND THE DISCIPLES?

- YEAH-- THEY DID IT. - I THINK WE SHOULD HAVE CHAIRS

AND THEN TURN THEM AROUND THIS WAY.

I THINK TAMAR SHOULD STICK TO ATTENDING PARTIES.

SHE SHOULD NOT BE PLANNING ANYONE'S PARTIES.

WE SHOULD'VE HIRE A REAL PARTY PLANNER

BECAUSE WE'RE DOING IT THE DAY OF.

- BUT IT WAS NOT SUPPOSED TO BE THIS SERIOUS.

IT'S JUST SUPPOSED TO BE A FAMILY DINNER.

I PICKED A LUAU THEME BECAUSE I FIGURED

IT WOULD BE THE EASIER THEME.

I GUESS I WAS WRONG ABOUT THAT.

- HEY, GUYS-- HOW ARE YOU DOING?

- WHAT IS IT-- WHAT IS IT?

- YOU HAVE TO WAIT AND SEE.

- NO. - I'M AFRAID.

- DON'T BE AFRAID.

- IT'S COMING FROM EVERYBODY--

- WE TOOK YOUR ADVICE.

WE TOOK EVERYTHING YOU SAID INTO CONSIDERATION

AND YOU JUST HAVE TO WAIT.

- NO-- IT'S NOT MY BIRTHDAY.

YOU CAN-- TELL ME.

- NO-- IT IS A SURPRISE FOR EVERYONE.

- I THINK THEY ARE HIDING SOMETHING FROM US

AND THAT'S NOT A GOOD SIGN.

- WHAT ARE YOU DOING?

ARE YOU TYING STUFF AROUND THE COLUMNS?

- THAT'S WHAT TAMAR SAID!

- TAMAR SAID TO DO THAT.

- TAMAR, FOR REAL? - I SAID BREAK 'EM UP.

- IT'S LIKE A GHETTO VERSION OF THE MOVIE "UP."

THAT'S WRONG.

THE HOUSE IS NOT FIXING TO LIFT UP.

I CAN'T TAKE IT.

- WHO PUT TAMAR IN CHARGE?

WE ARE IN HUGE TROUBLE.

- WHAT IS THIS? - FRINGE FOR THE TABLE.

- I DECIDE WE HAVE TO CHANGE IT RIGHT NOW.

TIME IS NOT A LUXURY THAT WE HAVE.

SO, I AM GONNA CALL A PROFESSIONAL

TO COME IN AND SAVE THE DAY.

IT'S TONI-- HOW ARE YOU?

I JUST NEED YOUR HELP--

IT'S MY MOM'S PARTY IN ABOUT FOUR HOURS.

I NEED YOU TO COME AND HELP ME-- CAN YOU COME NOW?

- IT'S A MESS.

- MARCUS IS THIS FABULOUS PERSON THAT I MET

AT A DINNER PARTY

AND HE PUT THIS DINNER PARTY TOGETHER

FOR SOMEONE IN, LIKE, THREE HOURS.

AND I'M LIKE, THERE IS NO WAY YOU DID THIS IN THREE HOURS.

THIS IS THE GUY WE NEED TO CALL.

IT'S A LOT OF WORK-- YEAH.

YOU CAN DO IT-- CAN YOU DO IT?

YES-- I'LL TEXT YOU THE ADDRESS.

- THANK YOU-THANK YOU-- YOU SO TOTALLY ROCK.

THANKS-- 'KAY, BYE.

- HI! - HEY, TONI.

- YOU'RE HERE-- OH, YOU'RE HERE-YOU'RE HERE.

HOW ARE YOU?

HE'S THE LIKE THE PARTY SAVIOR.

DA-DA-DA-DA-DAAAA!

- HEY, GUYS-- COME ON IN.

SO, ANYWAY-- WE'RE GONNA TAKE CARE OF IT

AND WHEN YOU COME OUT HERE IT'LL BE TOTALLY DIFFERENT.

- I THINK THAT LOOKS DAMN GOOD.

- ALL RIGHT-- HOW ARE YOU DOIN'?

IT'S ALL RIGHT. - YOU LOOK FABULOUS DARLING.

- YOU KNOW-- YOU KNOW.

- MARK AND HIS TEAM REALLY SAVED THE DAY.

AND THEY WAS JUST IN TIME BECAUSE TONI AND MY MOM

JUST GOT BACK FROM THE AIRPORT.

- HEY-HEY-HEY.

- HOW IS THAT?

- MARK DID SUCH A GREAT JOB!

- HE DID, RIGHT? - THE TABLE IS--

- YEAH, BUT-- LET'S GO.

SHE'S OUTSIDE WITH THE KIDS WATCHING THEM IN THE POOL.

- MOMMY'S COMING DOWN?

- MY MOM HAS BEEN TALKING FOR YEARS

ABOUT GETTING ALL OF HER FRIENDS AND HER FAMILY TOGETHER

FOR HER 60th BIRTHDAY.

AND I CAN'T BELIEVE WE DID IT.

SHE'S GONNA HAVE SOME MUCH FUN!

- WHOO!

[cheering]

- OH MY GOODNESS!

IT MUST BE YEARS.

- MOMMY, HERE'S YOUR CROWN. - OH MY GOD, I GET A CROWN?

THAT'S YOUR BIRTHDAY CROWN AND IT MATCHES YOUR OUTFIT.

THIS IS YOUR SEAT RIGHT HERE, MOMMY.

THIS IS YOUR SEAT RIGHT, RIGHT-- RIGHT THERE.

- I FELT SO GOOD TO SEE ALL OF MY FRIENDS

AND ALL MY LOVED ONES AT MY BIRTHDAY PARTY.

I REALLY FELT LOVED AND BLESSED.

- MOM, IT IS YOUR BIRTHDAY AND IF YOU HAVEN'T NOTICED...

EVERYBODY AT THE TABLE THAT YOU LOVE THE MOST.

AND SO I DECIDED--

- UH, I'M SORRY-- CAN WE FOCUS.

TAMAR, DID NOT PLAN THIS BY HERSELF...

- THANK YOU, TONI BRAXTON DOT COM.

- WE ALL DID THIS, BUT I WANT TO THANK TAMAR AND VINCE FOR...

- WE DID. - OOH.

- SO, SINCE IT'S A WHOLE LOT OF US

AND IT'S A LOT FOR ALL OF US TO JUMP ON A PLANE

AND GO TO MORE SUNSHINE,

WE DECIDED TO BRING THE SUNSHINE TO YOU.

SO, WELCOME TO HAWAII.

- IT WAS WONDERFUL.

THEY BROUGHT HAWAII TO ME.

[drumming]

- WHEW!

- ALL RIGHT- ALL RIGHT-ALL RIGHT!

YOU BETTER GIVE IT-- BOOM.

- I HEARD THAT.

- WHAT-WHAT-WHAT!

- I THINK TOWANDA WAS REAL HAPPY

ABOUT SEEING SOME OLD HALF NAKED MAN.

I DO BELIEVE SHE HAD AN ORGASM IN HER SEAT.

[shouting]

- I'M NOT DONE-- I'M NOT FINISHED.

- MOMMY GOT LAID.

WHEW!

- MOMMY GOT LAID-- MOMMY GOT LAID!

- AFTER THE LUAU, IT WAS TIME FOR CAKE AND GIFTS

AND I HAVE TO BE HONEST, I AM A LITTLE BIT CONCERNED

ABOUT WHAT TRACI AND TRINA HAVE PURCHASED FOR MOMMY.

- HAPPY BIRTHDAY-- HAPPY BIRTHDAY!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY! - HEY!

- HAPPY BIRTHDAY-- HAPPY BIRTHDAY!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY! - MAKE A WISH!

YOU AIN'T TEN THOUGH.

- THIS IS GIFT NUMBER ONE... WHEW!

I AM EXCITED-- I'M THINKING SHE'S GOING TO LOVE THEM.

- THIS IS THE MOMENT OF TRUTH.

I TELL YOU WHAT--

ALL I KNOW IS MOMMY'S GIFT HAD BETTER BE PERFECT.

IT'S HER 60th BIRTHDAY PARTY FOR HEAVEN'S SAKE.

- EVERYONE HAS TO LOOK-- OH, WOW-OH, WOW!

- IT'S A DOGGY HOUSE!

- FOR JACKSON-- YAY!

- WOW!

- AND THIS IS NUMBER TWO.

- FOR YOUR DOG. - LET ME SEE.

WHOO, LOOK-- DOG STUFF!

- PUT IT IN THE FRONT-- NOW, PUT IT ON YOUR FRONT.

- MOMMY, I BE MAD.

I KNEW WE SHOULD NOT HAVE SENT TRINA AND TRACI SHOPPING.

I MEAN, I SHOULD HAVE WENT AND DID IT MYSELF.

- I DIDN'T GET YOU THAT.

- THANK YOU, GUYS.

THE GIFTS THAT THEY WERE GIVING TO ME AT THE PARTY,

IT WAS ALL ABOUT JACKSON, MY DOG, FOR GOD'S SAKE.

IT'S MY BIRTHDAY AND HE GETS THE GIFTS.

- I THOUGHT IT WAS PERFECTION.

- BUT THAT'S FOR THE DOG. - I WANT MY MONEY BACK.

- PUT THIS ON JACKSON. - WHEW!

- A DOG GIFT-- FOR REAL?

I HAVE TO GET TO THE BOTTOM OF THIS FOOLISHNESS.

HEY. - HEY.

I WAS LOOKING FOR YOU AND TRINA.

I'M LIKE, WHOSE IDEA WAS IT TO BUY SOMETHING FOR MOMMY,

BUT NOT REALLY BUY SOMETHING FOR MOMMY?

YOU BOUGHT SOMETHING FOR THE DOG.

WHOSE IDEA WAS THAT? - IT WAS MINE.

- I'MA TELL YOU SOMETHING MOMMY IS BETTER THAN ME.

I BEEN LAID EVERYBODY OUT.

I WOULD SAY, "HOLD UP-HOLD UP, EVERYBODY STOP TALKING."

WHERE'S MY GIFT?

- WE ALL KNOW THIS IS NOT ABOUT NO DAMN DOG.

SHE IS STILL UPSET BECAUSE OF WHAT I SAID ABOUT HER MARRIAGE.

I DON'T HAVE TO TAKE THIS.

I TRIED MY BEST.

- TRACI YOUR BEST WAS TO GET A GIFT FOR THE DOG?

EVERYBODY HAD A DUTY.

TONI CAME IN AND DIDN'T LIKE WHAT ME AND TOWANDA DID.

SHE CHANGED IT-- I DIDN'T GET AN ATTITUDE.

I SAID GREAT.

- I DON'T HAVE AN ATTITUDE EITHER.

- YOU DON'T HAVE AN ATTITUDE?

YOU JUST GOT ALL BUNK AND YOUR CRUNK.

- BUT MOMMY HAS EVERYTHING-- MOMMY HAS EVERYTHING.

- NO, SHE DON'T. - SHE DOES.

WHAT DO YOU GIVE TO A PERSON THAT HAS EVERYTHING?

- MORE. - LIKE WHAT?

- MORE STUFF. - A THOUGHT DIDN'T COUNT?

- TRACI, YOU GOT SOMETHING FOR HER DOG FOR HER BIRTHDAY

AND NOT HER-- I WOULD BE HIGHLY UPSET.

COMING UP ON "BRAXTON FAMILY VALUES."

- IF YOUR HUSBAND BOUGHT YOUR SON A GIFT FOR YOUR BIRTHDAY,

HOW WOULD YOU FEEL? - I THOUGHT--

- NO, HOW WOULD YOU FEEL?

- I THOUGHT-- - NO, HOW YOU FEEL?

- I GOT A DOG.

WOW-- HE HAVE A NICE BIRTHDAY GIFT.

- TAMAR, WAS REALLY MAD AT TRACI AND TRINA

FOR GETTING MY MOM A GIFT FOR HER DOG.

I DON'T EVEN KNOW WHERE TAMAR WENT-- WHERE IS SHE?

- YOU AND TRINA WENT AND GOT SOMETHING NOT FOR HER,

BUT FOR HER DOG. - IT'S THE THOUGHT THAT COUNTS.

- NOT ALL THE TIME.

IF YOUR HUSBAND BOUGHT YOUR SON A GIFT FOR YOUR BIRTHDAY,

HOW WOULD YOU FEEL? - I THOUGHT I GOT SOMETHING...

- NO, HOW WOULD YOU FEEL?

I FEEL-- I WOULD FEEL...

- OKAY-- I FEEL, I GOT SOMETHING NICE FOR MOMMY.

- WOW! - I FEEL.

EVERYTHING IS ALWAYS ABOUT TAMAR.

I DIDN'T GET HER A GIFT.

WHO CARES IF SHE DOESN'T LIKE IT?

END OF CONVERSATION.

LOOKIE, LOOKIE-- HERE'S THE COOKIE.

- WHAT?

- I THOUGHT I HAD GOTTEN A GOOD GIFT FOR MOMMY.

SO, IF DIDN'T PLEASE YOU, I APOLOGIZE

IF IT WASN'T UP TO TAMAR'S STANDARDS, IT'S NOT OKAY.

- IT HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH MY STANDARDS.

I'M PRETTY MUCH STICKING UP FOR MY MOTHER.

TRACI BRAXTON IS OUT OF CONTROL.

FIRST, SHE COMES INTO MY HOUSE, INSULTS MY MARRIAGE--

RUIN MY MOM'S BIRTHDAY.

I MEAN, I JUST CAN'T-- I-I'M DONE.

IT'S TIME TO SAY "HAPPY BIRTHDAY" TO MOMMY, SO--

- YEAH. - YOU GOT SERIOUS ISSUES.

- I KNOW YOU DO.

- TAMAR MAKES ME SO MAD.

I HOPE WE CAN BE CIVIL UNTIL THE END OF THIS DAMN PARTY.

I THINK IT'S BRILLIANT WHEN YOU ALL SING TOGETHER.

I HOPE I HEAR IT TONIGHT. - NOT THIS EVENING.

BOOM! - DARLING.

- I MEAN, I REALLY DON'T FEEL LIKE SINGING NO KUMBAYA

WITH MY SISTERS RIGHT NOW,

ESPECIALLY ONE OF THEM.

- I LOVE WHEN THEY ALL SING TOGETHER.

- THEY WERE POWERFUL THEN-- WEREN'T THEY?

- THEY ARE. - WHAT DO YOU MEAN THEN?

WE STILL HERE-- WE AIN'T GO NOWHERE.

- WE STILL GO IT, AND I MIGHT NOT BE IN THE MOOD,

BUT TAMAR-- MM-MM, I DON'T WALK AWAY FROM ANY CHALLENGE.

- COME ON, GUYS.

- AND BESIDES, IT'S MY MOTHER'S BIRTHDAY,

SO, I CAN DO IT FOR HER.

WHAT DO YOU GUYS WANT TO SING?

- IF YOU'RE HAPPY. - NO.

- NO.

- IT'S HARD TO PLAY FOR SO MANY DIVAS-- I'M SORRY.

WHAT SONG AM I DOIN'?

- COME ON, EVERYBODY-- JUST DO A SONG.

IT'S FOR YOU MOTHER.

[singing]

- IT WAS JUST BEAUTIFUL.

IT ACTUALLY-- TEARS JUST FILLED MY EYES

BECAUSE I RELIVED WHAT THEY DID WHEN THEY WERE SMALL.

I SAW THEM AS BEING SMALL.

IT'S JUST WONDERFUL WATCHING THEM.

GOOD JOB-GOOD JOB.

- I'M HAPPY THAT IN THE END,

WE ENDED UP GIVING MY MOM A GREAT GIFT.

SHE'S GETTING EMOTIONAL.

I COULD SEE IT.

SHE SAYS, "OH, IT'S LIKE YOU GUYS ARE LITTLE ALL OVER AGAIN."

SHE WAS HAPPY.

- ARE Y'ALL LEAVING?

WHAT TIME IS YOUR FLIGHT?

- ONE O'CLOCK. - OKAY-- YOU HAVE TO GO.

- MY MOM HAD A GREAT TIME-- THE PARTY WAS A SUCCESS.

NOW, EVERYONE'S GONNA HEAD BACK TO ATLANTA.

- TELL POOKEY AND BO-BO I SAY "HI."

- MY SISTERS AND I WE FIGHT HARD.

WE ARGUE LOUD.

IT IS ALWAYS TAMAR AND SOMEBODY.

HMM-- IT'S USUALLY TAMAR AND TRACI.

TB, I HAVE TO PACK-- DO YOU WANNA HELP ME?

I LIKE TO HAVE JACKETS IN ONE BAG, CLOTHES IN ONE BAG,

PURSES IN ONE BAG, AND SHOES IN ANOTHER BAG.

I REALLY DON'T NEED NO HELP PACKING.

I JUST REALLY WANTED TO TALK TO TRACI

AND PUT THINGS TO REST.

I JUST WANT YOU TO GO TO NEW YORK WITH ME,

SO THAT WE CAN SPEND SOME TIME TOGETHER AND BOND.

I THINK WE NEED THAT-- DON'T YOU THINK?

- I WOULD LOVE TO BOND WITH TAMAR.

THEY HAVE NO IDEA WHAT I'M GOING THROUGH.

MY SON KEVIN HAS JUVENILE RHEUMATOID ARTHRITIS.

THEY HAVE NO IDEA.

THAT'S WHY I HAVE BEEN ON EDGE THIS WHOLE TRIP.

- IS LITTLE KEVIN FEELING BETTER?

I THOUGHT HE HAD A FLARE UP THE OTHER DAY.

- YEAH, HE DID.

THEY HAD TO DO X-RAYS ON HIS ELBOW AND HIS FINGER.

DON'T YOU KNOW HOW WHEN ARTHRITIS PEOPLE,

THEIR HANDS ARE LIKE THIS AND REAL SWOLLEN.

THAT WHAT WAS GOING ON WITH HIS ELBOWS AND HIS FINGER.

- IS THAT DUE FROM... - THE ARTHRITIS.

- SEE-- SO, NO WONDER YOU ARE STRESSED OUT ALL THE TIME.

YOUR BABY IS IN PAIN... CONSTANTLY EVERY SINGLE DAY.

- YEAH-- HE TOLD ME ONE DAY, HE SAID,

"MOMMY, I'LL BE HAPPY WHEN I'M ABLE TO BE PAIN-FREE."

- THAT'S A LOT. - YES, IT IS.

- I COMMEND YOU FOR EVEN WALKING AROUND

WITH A SMILE ON YOUR FACE BECAUSE THAT'S TOUGH

'CAUSE THAT'S YOUR BABY.

HER SON KEVIN'S NOT FEELING VERY WELL.

AND YA KNOW, SHE'S REALLY CONCERNED

AND I FELT REALLY BAD.

I'M SORRY BECAUSE HERE I AM TALKING ABOUT

REAL STUPID STUFF.

I'M OVER HERE FUSSING ABOUT WHAT YOU SAY TO ME

AND WHAT YOU DID TO ME-- THIS, THAT AND THE OTHER.

AND YOU ARE GOING THROUGH A WHOLE LOT.

- AND I KNOW I TOOK IT OUT ON YOU AND I SHOULDN'T HAVE.

- BUT THAT'S OKAY. - AND SO, I WAS TAKING IT OUT

ON EVERYBODY, JUST YA KNOW-- I APOLOGIZE, TAMAR--

- TRACI, EVERYBODY HAS FEELINGS.

'CAUSE BELIEVE ME, I DIDN'T WANT TO DISRESPECT YOU.

- TRACI, PLEASE STOP APOLOGIZING.

AND NOW I OWE YOU AN APOLOGY FROM THE BOTTOM OF MY HEART.

- I ACCEPT YOUR APOLOGY, TAMAR.

THANK YOU VERY MUCH FOR BEING OPEN AND UNDERSTANDING.

EVEN THOUGH WE FUSS AND FIGHT AND ARGUE

AND GET IN EACH OTHER'S FACES AT TIMES,

MY SISTERS, THEY'RE LIKE MY BEST FRIENDS.

- OH, TRACI-- I LOVE YOU SO MUCH.

- I LOVE YOU, TOO.

- I'M SORRY TOO 'CAUSE I WAS TOO.

- I'M GLAD WE GOT A CHANCE TO MAKE UP FOR NOW.

BUT I KNOW WE'RE GONNA FIGHT AGAIN TOMORROW

AND THE NEXT DAY AND THE DAY AFTER THAT.

- ALL THE GIRLS HAVE HEADED BACK TO ATLANTA

AND IT'S JUST ME AND TRACI AND I HAVE TO MAKE A DECISION

ON WHICH HOUSE I'M GONNA CHOOSE,

AND I'M GONNA HAVE HER HELP ME OUT WITH IT.

- SO, HAVE YOU KIND OF NARROWED IT DOWN YET?

- I THINK SO.

I THINK THE FIRST HOUSE IS GONNA BE MY CHOICE.

BUT, YOU KNOW, THERE IS A LITTLE BIT OF SOMETHING.

BECAUSE OF MY BANKRUPTCY ISSUES,

I WILL PROBABLY HAVE TO DO A LEASE PURCHASE.

BECAUSE OF MY BANKRUPTCY SITUATION,

I KNOW THAT THERE'S A BUDGET

AND I KNOW TO STICK WITHIN THAT BUDGET.

BUT, OF COURSE, I CAN RENT.

SO, I AM HOPING I CAN DO A LEASE PURCHASE

AND MAKE IT HAPPEN FROM THERE.

- OH, THAT CAN BE DONE.

I THINK THE OWNER SEEMS VERY MOTIVATED.

WE MET HIM AT THE SHOWING AND HE SAID "LET'S MAKE A DEAL."

SO, LET'S GO FOR IT.

- SO, WITHIN A MONTH, I COULD MOVE?

- IF NOT SOONER. - OKAY, WE LIKEY THAT.

- IF NOT SOONER. - THAT'S EVEN BETTER.

LET ME GIVE YOU SOME SUGAR.

THANK YOU AGAIN. - I LOVE THOSE EARRINGS.

- COUNTRY GIRLS.

- I AM REALLY GETTING EXCITED ABOUT MY MOVE TO L.A.

ALTHOUGH, IF I REALLY THINK ABOUT IT,

BEING THAT CLOSE TO TAMAR CAN BE REALLY CHALLENGING

BECAUSE I CAN SEE HER NOW

COMING OVER AT TWO O'CLOCK IN THE MORNING--

CAN YOU MAKE ME A SANDWICH?

CAN YOU MAKE ME A HAM SANDWICH--

CAN YOU PUT CHEESE ON IT LIKE YOU DID THE OTHER DAY?

I NEED A BIGGER GATE!

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

- THIS IS BECAUSE "YOU'RE SO GREAT PARTY."

SO, I DECIDED TO THROW AN APPRECIATION PARTY

FOR MY HUSBAND, VINCE,

SO HE CAN SEE HOW MUCH I APPRECIATE HIM.

- OH!

SHE ROLLIN' HER BABY WITH A BABY IN IT.

WHO DOES THAT?

MEN BE TRIPPING OUT ABOUT STUFF LIKE THAT.

- IT'S PLAYBOY. - MEN HAVE PROBLEMS WITH THAT.

- THIS COULD BE MY SISTER.

THIS COULD BE ON THE BATHROOM WALL.

- YOU WANNA TRY OUT AGAIN? - I BEG YOUR PARDON.

- YOU'RE GONNA MESS UP THE WHOLE THING.
