[indistinct chatter]

Hi.

[camera clicking]

[Jasmine] I wonder how much Deborah paid y'all

to stand in line for this whack-ass.

You think you're the only one with talent, huh?

-[Jasmine] You phony bitch! -Listen, Jas, not now.

Brandon, if you don't control her...

How could you do this to the group, Blue?

Yeah, this is exactly why I left the group.

Let me go, I'll beat your ass! Get off of me!

Brandon, you know she ain't right, you know she wrong.

Jas, please.

Bro, you always been a coward.

You could never stand up to your sister

even when we were together.

-Jas, stop. Jas, stop! -Ho! What?

This bitch is smiling at me! Get off! I'm gonna beat her ass!

She just standing there like she's better than everybody!

[Jasmine] You stupid bitch!

You better hope I don't see you in the streets.

Uh, can we get the next person in the line?

Hi, what's your name? Nice to meet you.

I know, but that's what I was--

Guys, what the hell?

-What happened. -What's going on?

Y'all didn't hear Jasmine out there attacking me?

-Attacking? Well... -What?

How the hell did she even get backstage?

Ho... Hold on. Where's she at?

Sweetheart, security probably figured

that y'all are still friends.

Well, we're not.

And I want her arrested.

Calm down, Blue. We are not having her arrested.

-Jas is like family. -She ain't my blood.

That bum left. Skank.

She know damn well I don't play about my little sister.

And y'all didn't see the picture frame almost take me out?

-What? What? -Picture frame?

Somebody threw a framed picture

of me with Charm on stage,

except my face was X'd out.

-It was probably her dumb ass. -Shit.

Antwan, I'm ready to get the hell up out of here.

For sure. The truck is ready by the door.

And, baby, you just stay calm

because you have a lot of eyes on you.

-Okay? -We'll just see you at home,

Blue. Can you get her home safe?

-Yeah, I got you. -Let's go.

You need to put your dog on a leash.

Come on, Blue. What? I did the best I could.

What do you expect me to do, slap Jasmine?

Actually, yeah, I do,

'cause as my brother, I didn't feel protected.

Do you still have feelings for her?

I mean, we were together for three years, all right?

Uh, look... I love you,

but I'm not gonna get in between y'all bullshit.

Okay, you need to squash it.

And the fact that she even got backstage...

-How she do that, huh? -I-I don't know.

But it won't happen again, all right?

We gonna tighten up security around the board.

Blue, you were amazing, by the way. Nobody told you tonight.

Thank you, Antwan.

Oh, shit, at least you did something right hiring him.

He knows how to compliment a girl.

[crowd cheering]

Thank you, everyone.

[crowd cheering]

[indistinct chatter]

-[crowd cheering] -[suspenseful music]

-Hey sleepyhead, good morning. -Morning.

Okay, so I need you to sign some papers to lock in

makeup artists and hair for the tour at some point today.

And you need to hold auditions ASAP for your backup dancers.

Yeah, okay.

Blue.

What's going on, sweetie?

It's just a lot going solo, I just feel like

everything's falling on me.

Oh, sweetheart.

Us, all of us, we have your back.

[Deborah] And I'm sure your brother has already talked

to Jas, and nothing like that will ever happen again.

Right, Brandon Divine Phillips?

-I did, mama. -And also...

You ate down on all those solo performances

these last few weeks.

And now on to headlining your own tour.

And you got a new album dropping? Come on, man.

[Brandon] You got this. [Deborah] Ah.

I just thought the toxicity from

you being in the group was over

and your transition to a solo artist

would be smoother, but--

Mom, when in the history of girl groups

has that ever happened?

Well, Jas, Felicia and Bricks

are very talented on their own.

I just don't understand what the anger is all about.

-[cell phone vibrates] -[Blue] Well...

Maybe because when I left the group,

the label dropped them.

[Deborah] I did what I had to do for you.

[Blue] [scoffs] Yeah, but I'm also not gonna act like

we didn't blindside them.

I mean, we probably

could have communicated better that I was leaving the group.

So I don't even blame them, to be honest with you.

What are you looking at, Bri?

[suspenseful music]

What is it?

[music continues]

-Are you fucking kidding me? -[Deborah] What?

So where's the part where he shoves me?

-And pushes me on the ground. -[Brandon] Who?

What? What are you talking about? Let me see that.

-Somebody put their hands on ya? -Damn, Blue.

Why didn't you tell me about this?

How am I supposed to know?

[Deborah] Shit. Now I gotta go do damage control.

[Blue] In the comments...

"I would kill her for hitting my man AFG Tripp--"

Oh, hell, no. Give me, give me the phone. Give me the phone.

Well, they are literally threatening to kill me.

No, Blue, forget about that.

Okay, nobody's gonna kill you.

[Brianna] Me and B aren't gonna let anything happen to you.

Matter of fact, I think you should join me

in these self-defense classes.

Okay, so I met this teacher. And, girl, he is a whole snack.

[Brianna] His instruction could maybe empower you

and make you feel safe whenever Brandon's not around.

[instrumental music]

Look, I'mma add another bodyguard

and I'mma up Antwan to drive, plus security.

We are not gonna take these threats lightly.

Exactly, and I know you've had a lot thrown at you

ever since you and Tripp broke up, but we're family, Blue.

-We got you. -[music continues]

[Deborah] What you posted is only half of the story.

Did that Tripp put you up to this?

No, you... Yeah.

Just take it down, okay?

And I'll get you something else.

[sighs] They're taking it down.

It's already too late. Look at this.

"Hashtag cancel Blue Aura. She's violent."

Baby, don't worry about that, this will blow over

in less than 24 hours, okay?

And then they'll move on to something else.

-It's okay. -Oh, my God.

Literally everybody's calling me.

-[cell phone ringing] -That's fine.

[cell phone ringing]

Yes. Oh, n-n-no, it's gonna be down in-in-in minutes.

-[cell phone chiming] -Yes.

Blue was defending herself.

This is an isolated incident. Come on, it's not...

-[cell phone chiming] -[stammering]

Look, can-can we just talk about this tomorrow?

Can we meet tomorrow in your office and talk about this?

Yes. Perfect.

Okay.

-Who was that? -[exhaling deeply]

Babe, it was Hydrana Sports Drink,

and they're threatening to pull out of the tour

if this thing blows up.

Are you serious?

They're literally my biggest sponsor.

We're gonna take care of it. It's gonna be okay.

-Ha, it's over. -No, it's not.

Babe, I'm taking care of this right now.

-Right fucking now. -[eerie music]

[indistinct chatter on video]

[Tripp on video] I'm a fuckin' loser, but I'm the reason

why you where you're at right now.

Yeah, and I'm the reason why you're here in the first place.

...fuckin' crazy.

Are you fuckin' serious right now?

[indistinct chatter on video]

[dramatic music]

-[gasps] -My bad.

[chuckles] I didn't mean to scare you like that.

No, you're good. What's up, Antwan?

Oh, yeah, I just wanna remind you, your studio session

tonight, Brandon said we're leaving soon.

Oh, yeah, that's right. All right. Uh...

Let me just go change real quick and I'll meet you on the truck?

-Yeah, do your thing. -Okay, I'm gonna go now.

[ominous music]

[Krystal] Blue, ready to record your new hit?

All right, let's get it.

Hey, is everything okay with her?

No. You haven't seen The Shadiest Neighbor?

Mn-mn. I've been taking a social-media break.

-What happened? -It's a lot, girl.

I'll have to catch you up later. It's crazy.

Oh.

Hey, y'all remember when we all used to work at the zoo?

[Krystal] Y'all remember that? [Brianna] Oh!

[Krystal] The daggone zoo. Ha-ha-ha...

Okay, but all of us was on the grind.

-That part. That part. -Okay.

-I can still smell it. -[Krystal laughing]

I know, I was there, and, Brandon, boy,

I swear, you was happy working at that zoo.

You was eating funnel cakes, like, every day. What you mean?

-He was. -I was. Okay, I was.

[Brandon] But I mean, it was fr-free food.

-Damn. -[Brianna] Mm.

-I miss them days. -[Brianna] Mm-hmm.

-Hm. The unstoppable crew. -[Brianna] Mm-hmm.

[Krystal] Trying to get Charm to stardom.

-That was a time. Hm. -Mm. Yeah.

Jasmine, Bricks, Felicia, they're gonna always be fam.

-Yeah. -Charm forever for her.

-Forever. -[Brianna] Yeah.

All right, y'all, can we just hurry up and start recording?

I'm trying to finish my album before the tour.

Yeah, let's get it. Um, let's hit the hook.

[clears throat]

All right, I'm ready.

Blue, that was good. You wanna do another take?

Uh, yeah, I'm gonna run it back, but let me just head

to the restroom real quick. I'll be right back.

-[cell phone vibrating] -[Krystal] All right.

-I gotta take this call. -All right, cool. Listen--

Antwan, I need you to slide in the studio.

-I gotta take this call. -Oh, yeah, sure.

-All right, appreciate it. -Got you. Yeah.

[ominous music]

[exhales sharply] What's up, Jasmine?

[water running]

[music continues]

[panting]

What are you doing in here?

I gotta ask you something.

-No, I'm not in the mood. Move. -Whoa, whoa, whoa.

Whoa, calm down.

All right, I know everything is hectic for you right now,

and I know you're going on your first solo tour.

So, you know, I was thinking, I could go along with you.

[chuckles] I'm sorry, what?

Come on, think about it, it'd be great PR for the both of us.

Blue and Tripp back together and on tour?

-I know you see the vision. -No, I don't see it.

Hell, no.

-[Tripp sighs] -[chuckles]

I asked you nicely.

I don't care how you asked.

You have the audacity to even ask me that

after you leaked that video on The Shadiest Neighbor?

Yeah, I know it was you.

Man, I ain't even have nothing to do with that.

And now, because of you,

my biggest sponsor is threatening to pull out.

But I bet they wouldn't pull out if they knew that we were on

tour together. I mean, come on.

We'd be practically printing the money.

It's a hard no for me.

So move, Tristan!

[grunting] Ah.

So that's how you finna do me, huh?

Are you crazy? I don't owe you shit!

Ah, but you do, though. I found y'all in this building.

I introduced you to my manager. That was me.

If it weren't for me, y'all dusty asses would probably

still be in Decatur, trying to get on

like every other singer in Atlanta.

Fuck you.

Oh, yeah, I can tell you still want to.

Yeah, you fuck a wish. Get out of my way.

[ominous music]

You ain't moving on without me.

[breathing heavily]

♪ I'mma survive ♪

So, my security or nobody on my team

care to tell me that Tripp was in the building?

What?

Did somebody tell him that I had studio time today?

No.

-Krystal? -What?

-Was it you? -Girl, you are paranoid. Okay?

First of all, everybody up in here know Tripp be having

time booked, you just never know when he gonna use it.

-This is some bullshit. -[Krystal] Well, damn.

I mean, everybody know y'all broke up,

but, girl, I didn't think y'all hated each other

and couldn't be in the same building. That's a bit much.

Don't let it happen again 'cause I'll take my business elsewhere.

Oh.

[Krystal] So that's what we doing now?

What, you threatening to get rid of me the same way

you did Bricks, Felicia and Jas?

That's how you doing all your friends now?

First of all, mind your business.

Second of all, I never got rid of them.

-I changed my management. -Just say what it is.

You thought you was better than them. That's why you was--

You know what? I'm done. Everyone can leave. It's a wrap.

-[Krystal] What? -Pack it up, y'all can leave.

What? Wait a minute. Hold on now, hold on.

It takes money out of my pockets

if you don't finish the whole session, Blue. You know that.

You really are selfish.

Fuck it, then. Mix the shit your damn self.

-Krystal, stop. -[Krystal] Disrespectful.

-Bye. -You just gonna walk out?

-Krystal. -There's a million of her.

-We don't need her. Stop. -Blue...

You can't just keep popping off on everyone, okay?

Krystal's been your engineer since day one.

I'm just so tired of everybody coming at me. Let's go.

[instrumental music]

[indistinct song]

You'll love this, sis, blow off some steam, take your mind

off of things and learn how to defend yourself correctly.

Whatever you say.

My name is Raymond Knight and I'll be your instructor.

-Nice to meet you. -Likewise.

How'd you get started doing all this self-defense stuff?

Well, I was bullied as a kid

and I didn't know how to empower myself.

So I wanted to teach others how to do that,

especially the youth.

-Hm. Nice. -Right?

He's also worked for several police units around Georgia

and done security for our friend Savage, Lil Baby and T.I.P.

Yeah, that's right.

So, how about we get started

with some basic self-defense moves?

Brianna, would you like to be my partner?

-And show 'em how it's done? -For sure.

All right, so I'll be the aggressor

and you'll be the victim. So I'm gonna grab your neck.

Use your right hand, put it on my inside bicep.

Right arm goes to the back of my head.

[Raymond] Perfect. Chicken wing my arm out.

You're gonna give me a knee to the rib. There you go.

And your left leg's gonna block this leg. Steer me down.

-You ready? -Mm-hmm.

-Whoa! -Bam!

-Damn, on the floor. -[Deborah] That's my daughter.

-[Brianna] Hey. -What if I just run away?

Well, if someone's really after you, they'll catch you

and then you have to do something.

Yeah, you know what, um...

I'm tired and I have a lot going on.

I just really don't have time for any of this right now.

Well, the next time someone comes after you,

you're gonna wish you had time for this.

Brandon, can you have Antwan bring the truck around?

You know what? We should get some content for social media.

This could spin into you showing young girls

how to defend themselves.

Maybe. Another day.

No. Really, sweetheart.

[Deborah] You don't have to do anything, but perhaps you shou--

I'm so sorry about my sister.

Um, this was nice, though. Thank you.

-Appreciate you. -No problem. Have a good day.

You, too.

Blue, really?

[indistinct song]

♪ Baby tell me baby tell me baby tell me ♪

[indistinct singing]

♪ Baby tell me baby tell me baby tell me ♪

-Hey, Blue. -Yeah?

Look, I don't mean to bother you or nothing like that,

but after I finish washing this truck, I was gonna head

over to Luxury Grill Cafe.

I know how you feel about them butter cakes,

so I could bring you one if you want me to.

Uh, Antwan, the only butter she's gonna be having

is butter lettuce until the tour.

Okay, thank you, Antwan. C-could we have some privacy, please?

[Antwan] Yes, ma'am.

Oh. Well, I see where I get my rudeness from.

Sweetheart, we need to talk about appearances

and guests for your tour. And I was thinking...

Before you answer, please hear me out.

I'm listening.

For some of the nights in the tour,

you should invite the girls out from Charm.

I'm sorry, what?

Beyonce does it.

Did you forget what Jasmine

literally just did to me?

Plus, I haven't even spoken with Bricks and Felicia.

Look, you girls have a lot of hits from that group,

and your fans wanna hear those songs, too.

It would be good for you.

Or good for you, considering you're the one that broke us up

in the first place.

No, don't do that.

You and I decided together--

I don't want them on tour with me. Period.

[suspenseful music]

[sighs]

You know, you girls always used to fight in that group.

What happened between you and Jas was nothing new.

It's just a suggestion, so think about it, okay?

Yup, thought about it. Nope.

Have to start looking out for myself because it's obvious

my own manager isn't doing so.

[music continues]

[Blue] Look, I get what you're saying, I just don't like

how she went about splitting up the group.

She could have done some things differently,

but she protected you.

All right, well, I'm tired. I'm about to go to sleep.

I appreciate you for listening to me vent, as always.

Just say I'm the best.

-Mm. -Just-just-just say I'm--

-[laughs] I love you. -You all right.

-Goodnight. -All right. I love you, Bri.

-Love you more. -Goodnight.

[yawning]

[ominous music]

[intense music]

[screaming]

-Mom, mom, Brandon. -[glass shattering]

What? What? What was that?

I just saw someone in the backyard.

-Brandon. -Going all the way.

-Blue, go in the room. -Damn it.

-Wait, wait, be careful. -Blue.

Go in the room.

... to me like just someone's in the house.

[suspenseful music]

Oh, fuck damn!

Fuck. Okay.

[gunshot]

Fuck!

[ominous music]

-[Brianna] Let me see. -You know...

-We shouldn't be touching-- -Mom.

I'm trying to see if I can

recognize the handwriting.

Mm.

Tripp.

Is there anything else you could tell us?

[Brandon] Yeah.

So, um, when I was chasing them,

I noticed they had on a black hoodie and some silver plates

on the back of their boots, and they jumped the fence.

[Deborah] So what can you do to protect my family?

We're not personal security, ma'am.

We'd like to take a look around your backyard,

see if we can find anything useful.

Now, you mentioned they jumped the fence.

Yeah. This way.

[exhales sharply]

-That's bullshit. -I know. I'm calling Raymond.

[sighs] I'm gonna have to say no.

Uh, but you didn't let me finish.

Okay, it'd be full-time security for Blue.

Okay, I know my sister could be a bit much, but there was

a break-in in the house last night. She needs this.

There are enough bodyguards in Atlanta.

Yeah, but, no. I trust you.

[sighs]

Listen, I'm sorry about what's happening with your sister,

but I'm good.

But you'd be perfect for Blue.

Uh, I've seen what you can do.

Look, we have money. I can pay you whatever you want.

It's not about the money with me, Brianna.

[sighs] All right.

Thanks anyway.

[instrumental music]

Look.

If I'm gonna come on board, I need to be head of security.

[scoffs] Yeah, but my brother's head of security.

How's that working out?

Uh...

Okay. Sure.

Uh, but I'm gonna need to check your references.

I thought you said you trusted me.

[chuckles] I do.

But I don't play when it comes to my little sister.

[chuckles] Shoot me those references.

[Brianna] Okay, Mimi, thank you so much.

Yes, I appreciate the information.

Okay, buh-bye.

Raymond checks out.

[Brandon] So you really gonna do me like this?

Come on, B, it's nothing personal. Okay?

Everything is just at a higher level these days

and Blue just needs someone with a little bit more experience.

Y'all really think I'm gonna let something happen to my sister?

No. No, I didn't say that.

Look, I know you do everything you can to protect Blue.

And now you and Raymond is just gonna do it together.

[blows a raspberry] Whatever, man.

-Come on, B, don't be like that. -I'm gonna be like that.

[Brianna] You can thank me later.

[Brandon] He better not get paid

more than me.

No barbed wire or pointed tops.

Barbed wire?

-[scoffs] You can't be serious. -[Raymond] Yeah.

And all these windows are entry points.

So what are you saying? I need bars on my windows?

We'll see once I set up a better security system.

-This is crazy. -No, this is necessary.

I'm not trying to feel like a prisoner in my own home.

Babe, that's the price you have to pay

for having a lot of fans, okay?

Besides, a lot of celebrities are dealing

with the same thing in Atlanta.

Facts, Ari and Moneybagg had break-ins in their houses

and they had to move.

Hell, everybody's getting out of the A.

On the plus side, I did a sweep of your SUV

and I didn't find any trackers.

Yeah, well, we usually take my car.

All right, I'll check that out, too.

Also, I'll accompany you to every event going forward.

-Yeah, see, that I'm not doing. -No. Yes, you will.

Okay? We're gonna do whatever it takes.

Girl, what?

Okay, how are you feeling about the new security?

To be honest, I mean, a little boxed in.

Really? Well...

Have you at least felt a little safer this past week?

Yeah, I do.

And I guess it comes with the perks, right?

[chuckles] Okay.

You know what? I'm gonna move for some hookah.

Let's go get some food.

-Are you serious? -Dead serious.

I need to get out of this house for a little bit.

We can finish picking outfits when we get back.

-Girl, we won't be long. -No, Blue, we're not doing that.

We can call the girls, have them meet us at the hookah lounge,

get some cute content.

I know you love that.

Live a little.

And I'll throw on some sunglasses and a scarf.

No big deal.

-Blue, stop. No. -[Blue] Please?

Blue, that face only works with mom. No.

Please?

[sighs] I hate you so much.

Fine. Fine.

But how we gonna get past the sexy bodyguard? Mm.

Now, you know, that's something that you do not need

to worry about because I already have a plan.

[Blue] Girl, no. Where are we? Do we even know where we are?

No, but we can't be too far from home.

I took the backroads.

Why the hell would you take the backroads?

Because it's quicker. Why the fuck else, Blue?

And don't ask me any questions right now

because this was your stupid-ass idea.

Gosh, you're so annoying.

[Brianna] Where's your phone? We can call somebody.

-[Blue] Yeah, well, right here. -Where's your phone?

[Blue] I mean, it would help if it wasn't dead.

-Dead? -Okay, well...

What about your phone? Do you even have service?

-No. -All right.

So it doesn't even matter.

What are we gonna do?

-Oh, my God. Thank God. -How did he even find us?

I followed you.

You should never go outside without security, Blue.

Come get in my car. I'll have somebody come pick this one up.

All right, fine.

-Do you see what I said? -It's all your fault.

My fucking fault? Never again.

-How else would he find us? -Never again.

Your phone isn't even fucking working.

[Raymond sighs]

All right, Blue, I just finished installing

the updated surveillance cameras.

-Thank you. -Yeah.

[laughs]

-Did I do something funny again? -Oh, no, no, no.

I'm just, uh, looking back at some old photos

of me and my best friend.

And then some photos of me and the girls from Charm.

Mm. Sounds like you miss 'em.

The group? Eh, not so much.

Everyone wanted to be a star and we don't really agree on much.

[Raymond] How about your friend?

Now her I miss.

She lives in Ghana right now.

When she comes back in town, though, we do a lot

of charity work for the girls in the Atlanta area.

Mm. Still... keep that up.

[chuckles]

You know what, actually, uh,

I remember when we first met,

you said something about empowering the youth.

Yeah.

Do you think that you could do me a huge favor

for some of the girls that I mentor?

-Yeah, of course. -All right.

I'm gonna, uh, think about it

and get back to you on the details.

-All right, sounds good. -All right, perfect.

All right, y'all, let's thank Raymond

for this amazing self-defense class.

[applauding]

Growing up, I had a best friend

who always found herself in trouble.

I mean, we all get in trouble, right?

But her situation was a little different.

She just didn't have the support system that I had.

What I learned from watching my friend is that

it's so important to have an outlet when you're angry, right?

And, uh, the things that Raymond teaches here

is just another amazing tool that we can use

just to blow off a little steam.

-Can I ask a question? -Of course. Go ahead.

Do you think you and Tripp will ever get back together?

[woman] Girl, why would you say that?

-[sighs] -[woman laughs]

You'll find this to be true when you're a little older,

there comes a time when you need to focus on you.

And, uh, Tripp and I were together for three years,

and now that trip is over.

[laughing]

Hey, now I'm live here with my daughter, Blue,

as she gives back to young girls.

She'll be kicking off her first solo tour in just a few weeks.

So y'all make sure y'all get y'all tickets now.

You don't wanna miss this. Chicago, LA, Baltimore.

Get your tickets.

You heard her. I'll talk to you soon, guys.

Yes.

Mom, can you please get off live?

Uh, okay, ladies, so grab your bags.

[Brianna] You can thank Raymond on the way out.

-Let's go. Let's go. -Bye.

-Bye, girls. -Let's have fun.

Oh, sweetheart, that was great. Perfect.

Mom... why would you make this moment about the tour?

And why would you go on live?

This was the only way to get

Hydrana Sports Drink back on board

after you and Tripp's public shoving match.

I don't want the charity work that I do

to be blasted all over the world.

You know that's not why I do this.

Little girl, you don't understand.

We have to get Hydrana Sports Drink back.

And as a team,

we could have figured out something else together

if you had just spoken to me first.

Oh, and by the way, I'm not a little girl.

You sure act like one.

All right, Blue, let's knock out the top of this ballad

so we can call it a night.

-All right, let's do it. -All right.

[Krystal] Tripp has a session booked in about a hour.

This is me just officially letting you know.

Although something tells me

you won't be that threatened this time.

[indistinct chatter]

[Deborah] Blue, sweetheart.

I need your digital signature right here

for the last invoice for hair and makeup.

-Great. Thank you. -[Raymond] Okay.

All the entry points are secure and Brandon's outside.

-I'd have walked the perimeter. -Sounds good.

Thank you, Raymond. Thank you, Antwan.

Ma, Blue, y'all gotta hear this.

[Deborah] What is it now?

Somebody leaked the song off Blue's new album

that was supposed to debut on the tour.

Damn it! All right, I'll go handle it.

You know what? No.

-Let's just leave it alone. -[Brianna] What?

-What do ya mean leave it alone? -I mean, it's already out.

There's not much more we can do other than

get in front of the narrative.

So, we'll do that.

I hope this isn't Krystal and all

y'all's petty back and forth bullshit.

All right, let's forget about Krystal because

right now what's important is this dance rehearsal.

Yes, sweetheart, but the radio isn't ready.

The streaming services aren't in--

-Mom. I got it. -We--

Everyone, can y'all gather around real quick?

So....

[chuckles] That's a lot of y'all.

[laughter]

So the plan today was to rehearse

the first three songs of the new album, right?

But today we're gonna do four.

Now I'm gonna need everyone to be on their A game

because I know it's gonna be a heavy one today.

-Y'all with me? -[all] Yeah.

No, no, no. I need more energy than that.

-Are y'all with me? -[all] Yeah!

Thank you. Let's get it.

-We got work to do. -Yeah.

-Yeah? -[man] Let's do it.

-Yeah. -[man] Okay, places, places.

Thank you, babe. Gotta handle business.

All right. Y'all ready?

Blue, I can't even lie. That rehearsal was kind of fire.

-Yeah, you liked it? -Yeah, I loved it.

[laughs] What do you think?

[Krystal] That is so stupid, 'cause I told ya that yesterday.

-You did. -And you did not listen.

-Blue. -[Jasmine] No, because, okay...

-[indistinct chatter] -Okay.

[Blue] Wow. Wow!

Okay, so I see what's going on here.

So y'all are the ones plotting against me,

breaking into my house, leaking my music online,

creating a fake profile to threaten to kill me.

So that's what we're doing?

Here you go with this paranoid shit again.

Ain't nobody thinking about you, Blue.

Girl, we was just up the street at a restaurant.

How was we supposed to know you was gonna be in the same garage?

Well, I guess you would if you were stalking me, right?

-Oh, my God. She's delusional. -Blue.

I am sorry I pressed up on you like that, okay?

But stalking you? Be for real.

Fuck that. Don't apologize to her.

And don't stand in my face and act like I'm the only reason

why Charm even broke up. It wasn't just me.

Bricks always wanted shit to be her way.

Felicia wanted us to be rap--

Don't you try and blame them, okay?

The real issue was you let fame go to your head

like everybody said you was gonna do.

Then you just tossed them to the side like they was nothing.

Hell, you only talk to me when we in the studio.

So what the fuck are we talking about, Blue?

Last week somebody saw Bricks bagging groceries.

And Felicia is homeless. Don't you care?

Hell, no, she don't care 'cause like I said,

she don't give a damn about nobody but herself!

You a selfish-ass bitch, Blue. And I should--

-Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa. -What you gonna do?

-What you gonna do? -Hey, back up.

-I wanna see you try it. -Back up.

-Or she gonna fuck you up. -Let her ass go!

I'll wear your ass out right now! Try it.

Y'all get up out of here, both of y'all.

Let's go. Let's go.

It's your lucky day.

This ain't us, Blue.

Before all of this, we was family.

[Jasmine] Remember that.

Come on, Blue, let's go.

[Deborah laughs] Yes, I'd love to.

No, I don't drink whiskey,

but I used to have a dog named Whiskey.

[Deborah laughs]

-[Deborah] Yes. -Mom.

[Deborah] Yes, yes, yes, yes.

No. We'll make sure that we're gonna get all the--

Mom, I have to talk to--

You won't have to worry about a thing.

Yes, thank you.

-I-I-I sure will. -[door shuts]

Okay.

-Ray. -What's up, Blue?

I just wanted to thank you for yesterday

and just being there for me the last few weeks.

I ain't gonna lie, I feel like

you could have handled both of 'em.

Oh, I know I could have.

I know I black out a little bit when I get angry.

So I was thinking that maybe boxing is the way to go

as far as defending myself and blowing off a little steam,

'cause let's be honest, I would not have known what I was doing,

like, at that garage.

All right. So you finally coming around.

Well, I can teach you some of my moves whenever you ready.

All right. I like that.

I was gonna talk to my mom, but she's busy.

-Do you wanna do it now? -Yeah, let's do it now.

[Raymond] All right, so since boxing seems to be your thing,

I'mma start by teaching you a simple one-two-three combo.

-All right? Okay. - Okay.

Oh, and real quick, I just wanted to thank you again

for giving the girls that free class.

I try to talk to them as much as I can so that they don't end up

doing the same dumb things that I did when I was growing up.

That's what's up, Blue. I love that you give back.

It's important. All right, here we go.

So start by staggering your feet. Right.

Then you put your left leg in front.

-Okay. -There you go.

Now put your left arm near your face.

-Well... -Wait. Like this? Okay. Okay.

[Raymond] Start with a right jab.

-Then left jab. -Mm-hmm.

-Right. Left. -Left jab. And right elbow.

-Elbow. -Perfect. There you go.

-How does it feel? -Hey. Ah.

I don't know. It feels a little weird.

I ki-kinda wanna do a little like this.

-Stop playing. Come on. -Okay. No, my bad. I'm sorry.

All right. All right, let's do it again.

-Hands up. Right. -Right jab. Yeah.

-Left jab. Right elbow. -Left.

There you go. One more time.

Right jab. Ah. Left jab. Right elbow.

All right. I'm scared of you, girl.

-Don't play with me. -You can take me? Come on.

I probably could. Okay, ready?

-Uh-huh. -[grunts]

Right elbow. Ooh! Okay. Fast.

[upbeat music]

♪ Hold you down ♪

[indistinct song]

Thanks for not stealing my wings

while I was in the ladies' room.

Come on. Now, I'll never do that.

What kind of monster you think I am?

This food was so good, I don't even feel bad for eating it

because of the workout that we just had. What?

Yeah. Proud of you, Blue. I didn't think you had it in you.

Thanks to you, you've been working me out

these last couple of weeks.

-Definitely feel stronger. -Of course.

-Told you I'd get you, right? -Mm-hmm.

So, if you weren't guarding my body,

what would you be doing, Mr. Knight?

Man, um...

I don't know. Maybe a chef.

-Really? I didn't expect that. -Yeah.

I know my way around the kitchen a little bit.

Okay, I see you.

-Love that. -What about you?

Um...

Singing is all I've known for my whole life, so...

Your whole life? At the big age of 24?

-Yes. Stop. -[laughs]

That's all I know how to do.

I mean, I could see myself

being, like, a really good mom and wife one day

when the time is right.

-Really? -Mm-hmm.

When my career settle down,

I'm where I wanna be and who I wanna be with.

For a while I thought that was gonna be Tripp, but...

Well, that someone you want always comes along

when you least expect it.

Yeah.

-You're right. -Yeah.

But, uh... Ahem.

-[Raymond] Food is good, right? -Hey.

Ain't you shorty that sing?

I get that a lot.

Yeah. You Blue Aura, right?

Sing me a song.

If you don't mind, we're just enjoying our food.

So I'm not gonna sing right now.

Why not? You can sing, right?

She said she's not gonna do it, all right?

Now get up out of here. And I'm not gonna repeat myself.

Bro, chill out, all right?

I'm a fan, and I wanna hear her live,

you know, 'cause all these 8THAT hoes be fake.

[Raymond] You heard what I said, right?

-What you gonna do? -Trust me, bro.

You don't wanna find out.

Get up out of here.

[intense music]

All right, weak-ass bitch.

-I'm sorry about that, Blue. -No.

Thank you for that. Are you kidding me?

You don't gotta thank me. It's my job.

-Let's get up outta here, right? -Can we, please?

-Yeah. -Okay. Let's go.

[Blue] Could you pass me the sunscreen?

-Yeah. -All right.

Want me to rub it on you?

Oh, no, I got it.

-All right. -You work hard enough.

Well, I appreciate the acknowledgement, for real.

Of course.

And because of all your hard work,

I was thinking that

you deserve a nice meal or something.

-Hm. -You should let me take you out.

[sighs]

Nah, that's not a good idea, Blue.

-Why not? -'Cause I work for you.

Yeah, but so what? You gotta eat something.

I mean, you right.

All right, well, look, how about I take you out?

Mm...

-All right, fine. -Cool.

-Here you go. -Oh, I could rub it on you now?

I mean, I can't get my back myself.

-All right, cool. I got you. -All right.

[instrumental music]

[footsteps approaching]

Mom.

[sighs]

Sweetheart, you've been avoiding me.

Where did we go wrong? Hm?

You know, everything that I've ever done for you

is to better you, better your career, the brand.

[Blue] I get that, I just wish that sometimes

you could just discuss some of the decision-making with me.

Sweetheart, if I had to do that,

that means that you don't trust me.

No, that's not what that means at all.

Has nothing to do with trust.

That's exactly what it means.

It means that you don't trust me to do what's best for you,

what's right for you, and I always only do

what's right for you.

But, mom, sometimes you don't, though.

Do you know how much I've sacrificed for you, little girl?

-No. Do you? -Oh, my God.

See, now you're getting emotional. It's too much!

I don't want you to be my mom and my manager. I-I...

That's it!

Fine. Have it your way.

You always do.

You're so dramatic.

[instrumental music]

What? What's wrong with you?

I'm getting new management.

What?

Me and mom just had the most uncomfortable talk.

-It's too much. -Okay.

So you and mom had a disagreement

and now you want new management?

It's more than just a disagreement, though.

I don't understand why it's so wrong for me

to just want my mother to be my mother and that's all.

Look, I know mom's ways can be a bit unorthodox,

but she has the right intentions and she's good at what she does.

[sighs]

I'm just ready to level everything up.

I'm not trying to be the artist whose songs get leaked.

Girl, that was probably Krystal,

who you need to have investigated.

I mean, think about it, Blue.

Who else would have access to your songs?

Look, all I'm saying is that with all that's going on,

now is not the time to bring in new management.

Yeah, you would say that.

[suspenseful music]

Excuse me?

You know what your problem is, Blue?

Tell me, what is my problem?

You make decisions off emotions

and then disregard how your actions affects everyone else.

It's getting real ungrateful, Blue.

I've always been there for you, always.

You think you're the only one out here with dreams, baby girl?

I had dreams, too, and me and mama and Brandon,

we've given up everything so you can prosper.

Why? Because we're family, Blue.

You're talking about dreams and I'm talking about reality.

And the reality is I'm the one keeping these lights on. Okay?

You know what?

Let's just change the subject, okay?

I'm going on a date with Raymond.

[exhales sharply]

That's real typical, Blue.

Really.

What's wrong? I feel safe with him.

That's what you wanted, right?

You know, it doesn't even matter what I want.

Just be careful with your heart

because you just broke up with Tripp.

And I know how much you loved him.

Raymond isn't Tripp,

and I know what the hell I'm doing.

[vocalization]

[indistinct song]

[Raymond] So how'd you come up with the name Blue Aura?

Well, me and Bri went to a psychic one day,

and she said that my name was fitting

because I had this blue aura around me

and that people with blue auras

are typically more creative, loyal and calm.

So, yeah, I don't know, it kind of just resonated with me.

What's funny is I wouldn't really call you calm.

-You kind of a hothead. Yeah. -Really?

Wow. That's wild that you just said that.

[sighs] You know what, I'm gonna let that slide

because what I've really heard is that you called me hot.

-Oh, you caught that? -Yeah.

Hm. Oh, yes, you're very hot.

-Thank you. -Mm-hmm.

You know what? I like spending time with you.

-Oh, really? -Yeah.

You make me feel seen.

Well, I like looking at you, and I'm not going anywhere soon.

Well, I don't want you to.

[indistinct song playing]

Hm.

Oh, hi. I'm sorry to bother you.

I-I'm a huge fan, I've been to all your shows

and I've been following you since you worked with Charm.

And I would love to take a selfie with you.

-Yeah, of course. Come on. -Thank you.

-[camera clicks] -Thank you so much.

-It was nice to meet you. -Nice to meet you, too.

[Raymond] What's wrong? Are you okay?

Yeah, I'm fine.

Uh, actually, do you mind

if we get out of here?

I think people are starting to notice me.

-I feel a little weird. -Yeah, you're right.

Waiter.

So, where to next?

Wherever you wanna go. I just don't want the night to end.

Me neither.

Antwan, I got you a piece of your favorite butter cake.

[Antwan] What? I appreciate that.

-Here you go, brother. -Thanks, man.

[ominous music]

[Raymond] All right, so which one of these you wanna eat?

I'll give you a little piece to start out with.

-[laughs] -Like you a bird or something.

There you go.

Tell me what you think. Be honest.

-It's a little dry. -It's a little dry?

Oh, man, that's crazy. That's crazy.

I'm not gonna lie. I think I need some more water.

-Yeah. -I'll get you some water.

-Don't worry. Yeah. -Oh, really? All right.

Thank you. I appreciate it.

Oh, um, do you think you could ask Antwan

if I could have just a tiny corner of his butter cake?

-I got you. -All right. Thank you.

You know, I really don't know what she see in that dude.

-I really don't. -Rule number one.

Don't mess with the bodyguard.

Hm, because she supposed to be messing with me.

Yo, Antwan, Blue asked if she could have a piece of cake.

[chuckles] You know what, bro? She can have the rest.

[ominous music]

[coughing]

[coughing]

-Antwan, are you good? -[coughs] Yeah, I'm good.

[coughs]

[Brandon] Come on, man, that cake ain't that dry.

Stop exaggerating, dog.

[coughing]

[Brandon] Bro, you choking? [Brianna] Hold on. You okay?

-Wait. Antwan, you good? -[coughing]

-Okay, he's choking. He's cho... -He's turning red.

-Brandon, call 911. -I got you. I got you.

-Oh, my God. -I got you. I got you.

-[Brianna] Oh, my God. He's-- -What's happening?

-Antwan is choking. -[indistinct yelling]

I don't know! What do we do?

[clamoring]

I don't know! He just started choking.

-What did he eat? -He started choking and then...

[clamoring]

-Oh, my God... -What do we do?

-Oh, my God. -[Brianna] Oh, my God!

[intense music]

-Oh, no! -Oh, my God! Oh, God!

[indistinct radio chatter]

[woman] Can you list the people who had access to the cake?

Hell, everybody in the room.

[woman] Well, we're interviewing the people

that were on staff last night.

Can you think of anybody who knew what was you favorite cake?

-I'll ask the questions here. -Well, do your job, then.

Maybe if you was doing your job, we wouldn't be in this bullshit.

-What's that supposed to mean? -You know exactly what it mean.

-Fellas, fellas. -Get you fuckin' hands off me.

Don't touch me.

I got a few questions for you. Come on.

I'll wrap things up over here.

Look. Look.

I'm gonna need you to find out who did this ASAP.

-Yes, ma'am. -Okay?

We think this happened at the restaurant.

We still need to look at security footage.

-Yeah, I can show you that. -Great.

Let's go upstairs, Blue.

[sighs]

[Raymond] What's up? You got a issue with me?

[Brandon] You're supposed to be the bodyguard.

You're supposed to make sure the whole house is safe.

-Not trying to fuck my sister! -Hey, hold up.

Your sister asked me out, all right? I am doing my job.

Then how did the cake get poisoned?

You're supposed to check the entire restaurant

before you even take her out there.

Staff, everything. That's what I would have done.

Whatever you and my sister got going on, man, it's over.

-Do your goddamn job. -Chill out.

Don't tell me what to do.

You must have forgot. This my family.

I'm gonna protect 'em if it's the last thing that I do.

You don't think I wanna do the same thing?

We on the same page, then.

Stay the fuck away from my sister.

[footsteps approaching]

[sighs] Blue, what are you doing?

You don't have to fold clothes. I got this.

I can't stop thinking about Antwan.

-I know. -[sighs]

I gotta get out of this house. Life doesn't seem real.

I feel like I'm going crazy. I... Mm.

What if you found me something to wear

to the N-Ergy listening party tonight?

Come on, Blue. No.

No, you're not going to that party.

With all that's going on right now,

you need to stay in instead of sneaking out.

Yeah, but I'm not sneaking out.

Brandon and Raymond can come with me.

Security, no security, it's too much.

Blue. Can I talk to you for a second?

Yeah.

I'll give you two a minute.

Thank you.

What's up?

I just wanted to check on you. We haven't talked in a minute.

Yeah, I overheard you and Brandon

arguing after Antwan passed.

Yeah. Uh, I just thought--

Honestly, I was thinking that maybe you and I

should slow it down, take a break.

At least until after we find out who's stalking me.

Is that what you want?

I mean, I think it's best.

Right, yeah, I understand.

But you're not giving up on us, are you?

-No, of course not. -Uh-huh.

Actually, I'm going to the N-Ergy party tonight.

I want you and Brandon to come with me.

-That's not smart, Blue. -But...

If you're there with me, what can go wrong? You got me.

All right. Whatever you say.

Okay.

Sorry about what happened to 'Twan.

All right, he was a good dude.

Yeah, he was.

Thanks.

And just know I'm always in your corner

even when we're not together.

[chuckles] Could have fooled me.

Oh, yeah, and the tour thing,

you know, I figured I might as well ask even though

you know Ms. Deborah, she ain't have none of that.

At all.

I don't even know why you asked.

[both laughing]

I love it when you laugh.

[chuckles]

You know, that's one thing that you could always do,

make me laugh.

I'll miss what we had.

And these last couple months, you know...

[sighs] it's just, just it been hard without you.

Tripp...

you're just talking.

You wanna know the real reason why I wanted to go on tour?

Just-just so it could be like how it was back in the day.

You feel me?

[indistinct song]

[sighs]

[Tripp] I missed us.

[song continues]

Tripp is actually gonna drive me home tonight.

-Blue. -I'm gonna see you later.

Can you just tell Brandon that we're about to leave?

-All right. -Okay.

Hey, good job.

I know you.

I knew I recognized you from the parking garage that day.

Okay?

You used to be Sexy Katrina's

bodyguard or whatever?

She had to let you go?

We didn't get along, all right? So what?

Nah, it was more than that. She had to fire you.

Like I said, we had a difference of opinions.

I wonder if Blue knows. I saw the way you were staring at her.

Listen.

Mind your business and enjoy the party.

Hm.

[Blue] I had a good time tonight.

Yeah, I know you did.

Remember when I used to sneak you into my house?

If my mom saw you tonight, she would have you cut.

Oh, you know Ms. Deborah love me.

-And you love me, too. -Mm.

Come on.

Yeah, and you know you always gonna be my property.

Your property? Okay, see now.

Mn-mn, mn-mn. I don't know what I was thinking.

I'm not your fucking property. I don't belong to you.

You act like you made me.

Man, see, there you go tripping.

You know what we do. We break up and we make up.

And you know you love the make-up part.

[scoffs] No.

You can go. I don't even want you here.

You know what, the nostalgia had me going for a second,

but I'm over it.

Hey, don't you walk away from me.

-Get off me. -Hey!

-Get the fuck off her. -What the fuck is your problem?

Try it.

[suspenseful music]

Oh, so, so this is what you're doing now?

It's over, Tripp.

For real this time.

Get your ass in the car and get the fuck up out of here.

[sniffing] Yeah, whatever you say, rent-a-cop.

-[car door shuts] -[instrumental music]

[car engine starts, revs]

You okay?

-Yeah. -You sure?

-Yeah, I'm good. -He hurt you?

No, I'm just, um, uh,

really sorry about all of this.

It's okay. It's okay.

[cell phone vibrating]

-[cell phone chiming] -[cell phone vibrating]

Oh, hold up. You trying to leave me already?

I'm sorry, just my phone is kind of going crazy.

Leave it. Lay with me a little longer.

I'm gonna grab it real quick, okay?

-Well-- -Well, I'm sorry.

-One second. -[cell phone vibrating]

[Raymond clears throat]

[sighs] Oh, my God.

What's wrong?

-I cannot believe this. -What can't you believe?

-Look at this. -Oh.

Well, you were the one all hugged up with him last night.

Whose thigh and butt cheek is that?

'Cause I know it's not yours, sis.

It's damn well not mine.

He's trying to capitalize off this shit.

Well, my DMs are blowing up

asking if you two are back together.

-If he's going on the tour now. -Hell, no.

You know he told me I was his property yesterday?

[Deborah] What?

-Who you texting? -The Shadiest Neighbor.

The girl who runs it and I have a deal.

-A deal? -A deal?

Yes.

I give her exclusive photos in exchange for positive press,

ever since you and Tripp were together.

Here we go again. Something else that I don't know about.

Do you want this out of the media or not?

-Of course I do. -Okay.

But after that, you're no longer my manager.

Oh. Fine.

It's fuckin' fine.

After this you will no longer have to worry about me

interfering in your life again.

[instrumental music]

You are a piece of work.

[Brianna] Blue, seriously?

[music continues]

♪ Got me falling in love with you ♪

♪ You're my weakness weakness ♪

♪ Like every little thing you do got me feeling boy ♪

Oh! Girl, that was fire.

Okay. You got this. I told you.

Thank you, girl. I just hope everybody likes it.

They will. Look.

Blue wasn't the only one in the group that had talent.

Okay, you, Bricks and Felicia,

y'all was just as talented, if not more.

-Poo! -Know that.

But, girl, what you got going on for the rest of the day?

I figured maybe we could go...

-[suspenseful music] -What's wrong?

I know he did not.

I know this boy did not just sit up here

and post my body parts on 8THAT like this.

What? Who?

You and Tripp?

Yeah. We were together.

He was with Blue for three years.

And for two of those years, he was with me.

And I loved his ass.

He kept telling me he was gonna leave Blue.

-All this shit I've done for-- -Krystal!

[Tripp] Why you in there telling our business--

You had no right to post those photos of me

without my permission, Tripp.

Why you just gonna do me like that?

-[line ringing] -Come on. Come on.

Pick up. Pick up. Pick up.

[Blue on voicemail] Hey, what's up? You've reached me.

-You know what to do. -Damn! Shit!

And you was all up in her face last night

like you trying to get back with her.

Oh, wait, wait. You thought it was gonna be me and you?

It's been me and you.

We've been creeping for years, hell, half of that time

was while y'all was still in a relationship.

-You remember you said-- -I didn't say nothing.

Wow.

After everything I did for you.

I sent that video and I did all that other--

Aye, yeah, yeah, yeah. All that is on you.

That don't got shit to do with me.

See, I'm over here building a empire.

I'm trying to be Jay. I'm looking for my Bey.

***, you far from a Jay.

[chuckles] And you damn sure ain't no Bey.

You a fucking clown, Tripp.

I can't believe you gonna do me like this.

Okay, so how would you like it if I told The Shadiest Neighbor

where the video of that fight came from? Huh?

Or what if I told him what you've been doing to Blue?

-And how you've been stalking-- -Ah, yeah, whatever, whatever.

Get the fuck out of here, Krystal.

Brandon, I need you to call me back as soon as you get this.

I gotta tell Blue something. It's the craziest--

-[Krystal] Tripp! -I'm telling you...

[Krystal] Get back...

Get back here.

[breathing heavily]

My bad, girl. You can come back in.

[Krystal sighs]

Jas?

[Jasmine] Yeah?

You're the only friend I got.

I hate Blue. I fucking hate Tripp.

-I hate this whole situation. -Krystal, girl, it's...

It's okay. Let's just...

Let's just get back to doing the mix.

-Okay, sure. -Hey.

Promise me that you'll never cross me.

[ominous music]

That shit hurt too bad.

I don't think I can take it again.

I got you, girl.

My bad. My bad. My bad.

Um... Okay, let's just...

Let's finish the mix.

[Brandon] Okay, damn, so you did block Jasmine.

What do you think? Of course I blocked her.

I'm not dealing with her crazy.

Okay, well, she wants to meet up and talk to you.

She said she has something really important

she wanna tell you.

No, I'm not doing that.

Come on, Blue. For me? Please?

Please? Please? Please?

Pl... I will sing it. Pretty please?

-[singsong] Please. -Don't sing, please.

-Okay. -Um...

All right, fine, just tell her

that I'll meet her somewhere tonight.

Okay. Okay, cool. I'mma set that up.

And I'mma make sure I stop by Pet Smart to get that leash.

Yeah, you do that.

[Brandon] Love you.

[hip-hop music]

[Jasmine] It's good to see you.

You've been a hard one to catch these days.

[sighs] So what's up?

[chuckles] Straight to the point, I see.

I mean, after that little stunt you put after the concert.

Everything was still raw, Blue.

Plus, I was thinking about Bricks and Felicia.

[Blue] What about them?

Well, Bricks had to move back in with her brother.

Yeah, after all that money she gave her mom,

she still won't let her move back in.

[Blue] Damn.

And the last thing I heard about Felicia

was that she moved back home to Chicago.

She wasn't doing good mentally.

Look...

I didn't mean for things to happen the way that they did.

My mom wanted me to go solo.

I agreed. I did what was best for me.

But what I'm not gonna keep doing is be blinged

for how people manage or mismanage their money, like...

What am I supposed to do?

-Mm. -It's not fair on me.

[Jasmine] Look, as far as your mom is concerned,

I think she may have been on to something making you go solo.

You've been killing it.

-[chuckles] -I just...

I wish that y'all had considered us first

before just breaking up the group

and making us fend for ourselves, you know?

Yeah. No, I get that.

And I'm sorry.

You know, my mom did ask

if you wanted, uh,

to maybe join a few dates on my tour.

-What? Yes! What? -Yeah?

What are you talking about? Yes! Yes! Oh, my God, Blue.

-[Jasmine laughing] -Okay, okay. Okay.

-[both laughing] -I'm so excited.

-Whatever works, you know? -Thank you.

You know at the end of the day I always got you.

Ditto.

[ominous music]

[Blue] But, uh, what did you wanna talk about?

[Jasmine] Oh. Yeah, so I was in the studio with Krystal, right?

All of a sudden Tripp burst in

and they get in this big argument

about that post on The Shadiest Neighbor.

Girl, they've been dating for years.

Like, even when y'all were together.

[siren wailing in distance]

[sighs]

You know what's crazy? After all this time, I had no clue.

Looking back at it, ah,

there were definitely signs.

It all makes sense.

-[ominous music] -[Jasmine] Oh.

And I think Tripp is the one who's been stalking you.

I remember you said something about...

[indistinct chatter]

[Jasmine screaming]

[thuds]

Fuck!

-[intense music] -[Blue] Oh, my God.

♪ We've got 'em online ♪ ♪ Day night ♪

♪ Call me if you know that I'll come through ♪

[Malik] Ms. Jackson.

[Krystal] What the hell? Who are y'all?

We need you to report down to the area one station, ma'am.

What the hell goin' on? You just bust up in my studio session--

Jasmine Collins was fatally pushed from a rooftop yesterday.

We have some questions.

Tripp, I need you to get me a lawyer.

[Krystal] Get me a lawyer, okay?

[instrumental music]

[Deborah] Jasmine's memorial service was really beautiful.

[Blue] It was good to see everyone,

even Bricks and Felicia.

I just can't believe she's gone.

-She was my heart. -I know, B.

Seeing her mom like that after everything was...

[Brianna] I'm so sorry, B.

I just hope Krystal get what she deserves.

You know, I think once we all regroup

and we take this next weekend for ourselves...

[sighs] we'll feel better about everything

and, and it'll be good for all of us to get back to work.

-Yeah. -Why don't we go somewhere?

-Just the two of us. -I like that.

-That's a good idea, babe. -Yeah, let's do that.

You know, I'm having a few friends over this weekend.

Would you do me a favor, Ray,

and go pick up a few chairs from the store for me?

Of course. I have some chairs in my studio.

-I'll bring 'em over for you. -Oh.

-Great, thank you. -All right.

Brandon,

why don't you go with him

and help him out?

-Okay. I'm gonna go check... -Okay? All right, baby.

[instrumental music]

Mom, actually, can we talk outside,

just the two of us, for a moment?

Yeah.

Sure.

I wanted to apologize for the last few weeks.

Emotions have been high and things have

just been coming at me from all over the place.

I know I've been a lot to deal with.

I get it.

I never thanked you for getting me out of the bad deal

the group was in with the label

and for protecting all the money. I, um...

You do a lot for me.

I do it out of love.

I would do it for any of my kids.

[instrumental music]

I just don't want us to ruin our relationship over business.

[birds chirping]

[sighs] Maybe...

if we choose my replacement together,

that, uh,

I might settle better into my life of leisure.

[both laughing]

That sounds good, and I think

that's something that we can finally agree on.

[both laughing]

-I love you. -I love you, baby.

Mm...

I'mma grab these chairs here and then some more in the back.

All right.

[ominous music]

What the fuck?

[music continues]

[mumbling]

[sighs]

[music continues]

Fucking serious?

[ominous music]

Ms. Phillips, I'm back.

Hey. Where's Brandon?

He, um, he said he needed some time to himself.

I think he's still messed up about Jasmine, you know?

[Deborah] Hm. Yeah.

Oh, my baby. I know this is so hard for him.

-You good? -Yeah. Yeah, yeah. All good.

I'll bring in the rest of the chairs for you.

-Thank you, Raymond. -No problem.

All right, y'all, I'm about to go get my lashes done.

And when I get back, we'll be off for our little getaway.

-All right, sweetie. -I mean...

You sure you don't want me or

Raymond to come with you?

No, I am good, I've been getting

my lashes done with Destiny forever.

Plus, I'll just take your car, so no one knows it's me.

Okay.

I just can't believe that Brandon

didn't come home last night.

I just think he's taking Jasmine's death hard.

I know, but it's just not like him not to at least call.

-Hey, baby. -Hey, baby.

I'm about to go get my lashes done.

All right, I'll pack up the car, so when

you get back, we can hit the road.

All right, cool. All right.

I'm gonna see y'all in a bit.

[eerie music]

[cell phone vibrating]

-Hey, Camesha. -[Camesha on phone] Hey, Bri.

I'm sorry it took so long for me to call you back.

I switched phones, and I'm just now listening to voicemails,

girl. Lyric has had me all over the place.

It is cool, girl. Blue is about to go on her world tour, too.

So I'm just prepping for what you already been through.

[Camesha] Right, so, anyway, you called

about one of Lyrics' former bodyguards?

Uh, uh, oh, yeah. Raymond.

Yeah, I just wanted to know what your experience was with him,

but we've already hired him, he got a great recommendation

from some of the security guys he's been workin' with.

[Camesha] Um, okay, well, that

wasn't really Lyrics' experience.

-What do you mean? -Well, I mean...

He started giving off stalker vibes, you know,

wanting to date her, which she almost fell for

because, you know, he was fine, but when she tried

to cut him off, he got really aggressive.

I followed you.

[ominous music]

Okay, uh, thanks. Thanks, Camesha. I-I gotta go.

[Camesha] Oh, o-okay, bye.

Fuck!

Shit, shit, shit, shit...

Oh, my fucking God.

[birds chirping]

-Hey. -[panting] Hey.

You know, I see you out here most mornings jogging

and taking your fitness seriously.

I do. Didn't know I was being watched.

[laughs] I mean, I'm not trying to be weird

or bother you or anything, but I have a self-defense studio

in the neighborhood, if you or anybody you know

wants to take classes.

-Oh. -Here. Take my card.

I offer private classes, too.

Okay, Mr. Raymond Knight, maybe I'll pass by.

-Hopefully I see you soon. -Yeah, maybe.

He planned this whole shit.

[Brianna] Uh, he's been patiently waiting out all this.

♪ I'm a survivor ♪

Ma, ma, it's Raymond.

-What's Raymond? -Raymond! Raymond.

Everything bad that's been happening to Blue

is because of Raymond.

-What? -Yeah. It's Raymond.

-He's the fucking stalker. -Oh, God. Oh...

-Uh, Brandon. Brandon. -I gotta call Blue.

[cell phone ringing]

-Hey, Bri. -Blue, I'm so sorry.

It's Raymond. This is all my fault.

Bri, what's all your fault? What are you talking about?

Raymond! Raymond is the stalker, Blue.

Wait, what?

-No. -I'm dead-ass serious.

I'm comin' home now. Where's ma?

She's right here. She's here with me.

-Okay, well, where's he? -[Brianna] He's here.

-He's in the backyard. -Lock the doors now.

-Hurry up, okay? -[Brianna] Okay.

[Deborah] Uh, Brandon, Brandon. He's...

Brandon's not answering the phone.

[Brianna] Okay. Call him again.

[Deborah] No, I'm calling the...

[suspenseful music]

[cell phone vibrating]

[dramatic music]

Hey, Blue.

[chuckles]

How could you do this?

How could I not?

I'm a fan. I'm your biggest fan.

Every since you gave me that lap dance on stage

with your little girl group,

I knew we were meant to be together.

[suspenseful music]

[Raymond] So I made it my goal

to make you mine.

I orchestrated everything perfectly.

And so I want you to come on over here, stir up some drama.

[Raymond] Just wait for the right time,

you know, when she is back.

[indistinct chatter]

Oh, yeah, you bet.

[Raymond] And I couldn't let Jasmine,

Antwan or Brandon

come in between us.

You're sick. Where's my mother? Where's my sister?

-Where the fuck is my brother? -Forget about them, all right?

Listen, how about me and you just go away together

just like we planed, okay?

-You crazy. -[Raymond] No.

I'm in love.

-[intense music] -[Blue panting]

-[Blue grunts] -[Raymond groans]

-Ma. Where is she? -[muffled screaming]

Hold on. Just a sec. I got you, I got you, I got you.

-Fucking Raymond. -My God.

[indistinct chatter]

Listen. He's in the kitchen..

I stabbed him. He's dead, okay?

Well, we still gotta get out of here.
