You know you don't have to ask.

Come when you want,

stay as long as you want.

I miss you
when you're not there.

Then how about forever?

You want
to stay with me forever?

You say that
like it's a bad thing.

It's not.
I'm just... confused.

I thought...

You're giving me whiplash.

How?

Kat...

I asked you to move in
with me months ago,

and you shot me down.

What's changed?

What's changed is
I'm about to be homeless.

Thank you.

Okay, check. That one's done.

Mama, you finished
your letter of intent, right?

[laughing]:
Ooh, child.

Those
Love & Hip Hop broads

And I thought
that me versus the Duprees

was the beef of the century.

Hello?

If I'm going to be
over here helping you,

you need to take this seriously.

Ooh...

-Mama!
-Okay.

All right,
you have my undivided attention.

All right,
what were we talking about,

-boys?
-Your clinic.

You need to make sure
all your paperwork

is finalized for the D.C.
health certificate of need.

The-the what now?

The certificate
the state makes you get

before you can open up
a new hospital or clinic?

Did you think
that you can just unlock a door

and start
handing out healthcare?

No, but...

my supposed partner,
Mr. Joey Armstrong,

wants nothing to do
with the day-to-day stuff,

so it falls all on
moi.

Hell, I don't even know
what I'm doing.

That's clear.

But I do know someone who does,

and they are very generous
and smart and...

and they actually are
extremely experienced

in managing a medical facility.

Why are you just now
telling me this?

They sound perfect. Well,
what's their name and number?

We can get them down here.

Why didn't you
mention them before?

Oh, because they turned me
down more than once.

Yeah, because
they already have a job

and they don't want to,
you know, go switching careers

and stuff.

Well, you're pretty good
at convincing people.

Talk them into it.

Hmm. Well,
since you're so smart,

maybe you can give me
some ideas.

You know?

Maybe suggest
a guaranteed way to make them

change their mind.

I don't know,
maybe offer them a promotion?

It could be
that they're sick of being

a follower instead of a leader.

And if they're an assistant,
that "general manager" title

can sound pretty tempting.

What about pay?

That one's tough,
since there's a salary cap

on what we can offer
at the clinic.

But maybe
you can sweeten the pot.

Mm, a bribe?

Think of it like
a financial incentive.

Offer them a hefty bonus
at the end of their first year,

you know, just to make sure
they can stick around that long.

Maybe you can pick up that tab,

if you're willing.

For the right person, done.

Okay, what else?

For me,
the biggest selling point

for working at the clinic
is all the good you can do.

If somebody is putting in
a boring 40 hours a week

in the corporate sector,

I'd sell them on how
they can make a real difference

by bringing affordable
healthcare to this community.

You really think
that would work?

I think it's worth a try.

Then here it goes.

Child of my heart,

light of my life.

I am talking a big, fat,
manager promotion, baby-

general manager, in fact. What?

Mama, stop. Stop.

Bring that compassion,

that golden heart of yours,

and come work for me.

Mm, please, baby, baby, please.

I'm down on my knees.

[laughs]

Please?

? ?

ELON:
What's the word, son?

Just got back from a drop-off.

They got me working
the mobile truck.

You sound anxious.
Is this getting to be too much?

Nah. Nah, nah, nah. I'm good.

Hey, now is not
the time for ego.

This is about more than
just watching your six.

It's staying
two steps ahead of them.

I don't know, Jacob,
maybe you should just-

Lives on the line.

That's what's important, right?

I'm not going to lie and say

the department isn't hungry
to crack this case,

but you making it
through this safe,

that's what matters.

I got you, Pops.

There's a lot of people
counting on that.

-It's for you.
-I already told Grayson,

shiny boxes are not
my love language.

It's not from Grayson.

Derek?

Who are you, 50 Cent
in "21 Questions"?

Girl, just open the box.

ASHLEY:
Um...

it's, um...

Janky.
Lia's favorite gift category.

Congratulations, Nurse Morgan,

you have survived
your first year

at Garland Memorial Hospital.

How do you feel?

[sighs]

What do you say?
Come on, pumpkin.

Pretty please?

How will I work for you
when I already have a job?

Tightening fajas
for BBL patients

does not compare

to working with your
amazing mommy every day.

Okay, first of all,
Dad's practice does

way more than
aesthetic procedures.

They handle
reconstructive surgeries

for burn victims,
traumatic injuries, you name it.

Dang, Saint Ted does
some good work.

But so do I.

Mama, I'm already
helping you for free.

And now you're gonna get paid.

[sings indistinctly]

I want you to hear me

and hear me clearly, okay?

I absolutely will not,
under any circumstances,

quit my job to become
your general manager.

But I will gladly act as
a resource for whoever you hire

by doing what I've
already been doing for free.

What do I have to do?

Do I have to beg?
Okay, fine, I'll beg.

Baby, please,

please, help me help them.

Help me help them.

You, unhoused?

The heiress turned purse mogul

with highly accomplished
doctors for parents.

I know. I'm blessed.

It was kind of a joke.

So what's really going on?

I thought you loved living
with your "bestie coz,"

as you like to say.

Yeah, but things are changing.

Chelsea's about
to be a married woman.

Whoa.

Bringing another doctor
into the fold.

I'm sure Chelsea and Madison

are more than capable
of finding a place on their own.

Why would you have to move?

This is me being considerate
and getting ahead.

They're not married yet,
but they will be soon,

and that means Madison
will be spending

a lot more time at our place,

and I don't want to be
the permanent third wheel.

Sure, I could move
back home with my mom,

but she's in her "date all you
want, do as you please" season.

Hmm.

It'll be just my luck to wander

into the kitchen one morning

and see a man in there

cooking eggs sunny side up.

Wearing nothing but a smile.

Yeah, and then I'll have
to pry my eyes out

with the nearest fork.
Do you see the urgency now?

Mm, I do.

So, are you down
with us shacking up?

Because I'm your only option?

No.

Tomas-

The way you just laid it out,

I'm literally your last choice.

And that's not good enough.

-What brings you by?
-Oh, I had a meeting

with Detective Marshall
about a client's arrest.

Mm. Okay.

You okay? Tough day
catching the bad guys?

You know what a less experienced
officer wouldn't admit?

That sometimes the bad guys win.

Mm.

I need to talk
to you about Jacob.

What happened to Jacob?

Nah, he's safe.
I didn't mean to scare you.

[exhales]

But I need you

to help me
talk some sense into him.

I assume that
you're at least partially aware

of what he's doing right now.

Uh, he's told me that
he's working a special case,

but he didn't
give me any details.

That's for the best.

I'm not even sure
that Jacob has fully grasped

the severity of
the situation that he's in.

You're scared.

You know, Jacob told me you were
reluctant to give him this shot,

but he just assumed
you were underestimating him.

What doesn't he know?

You know I can't get into
the specifics, but, Naomi,

I'm coming to you
as your father-in-law

and I'm asking you
to plant a seed, okay?

Now, Jacob hasn't been
a detective that long.

And this case
that he's taken on...

it has challenges.

And you don't think
he's ready for it?

I think that he'll be better
prepared in a year or two.

[chuckles]

One of the things
Jacob and I bonded over

was our love for our dads.

Did you know that?

No, but I don't see what-

I told him that

I would read my dad's law books

before I even knew
what words were.

And he told me
that he would walk around

with his tiny little notebook

scribbling observations
about his little brothers,

you and Darlene...

And everybody
he met along the way.

-Mm-hmm.
-He even took that

notebook to church.
It drove his mother crazy.

He told me he would
patrol your yard

with his partner Barney.

Yes. Our schnauzer.

I forgot about that one.

Yeah.

That same little boy
who was determined

to walk in your footsteps,

-he's a grown-up now.
-Yes.

Carving his own path.

Yes, but maybe
with a little more time-

The time is now, Elon.

Jacob is determined
to prove himself with this case,

and he has put in years
of hard work and study

to be ready for it.

There's nothing
I can or would say

to make him quit.

You are the chief of police

and his dad.

Why don't you just
give it to him straight?

I've tried, Naomi.
He won't listen.

And I'm hoping that his wife
has a stronger influence.

What's up?

Yo, you got a light?

Nah, man.

What you got on you?

Hey, bruh, get out of here.
This ain't what you want.

That supposed to scare me?

Oh. Yeah.

Let me see that watch.

Look, Mama,
our same deal holds, okay?

I will help out
the clinic when I can,

but I am not quitting my job.

Now, we need
to make sure you complete

all the state requirements
so you can actually open.

Like what?

Like setting aside
the right amount of capital,

getting your licenses
up to date.

Have you filled out
all your permit applications?

Let me see that.

Come on.

Let's see what you got here.

Mm-hmm. Oh, yeah, yeah.

Oh, yeah, I've seen
that one before. I read that.

[laughs] You know what?

[clears throat]

Watch and learn.

-Okay.
-I'm gonna show you

how real business
is done, baby girl.

-Okay?
-Yeah, yeah, yeah.

Mm-hmm.

Mm-hmm.

Hello, this is
the Leslie Thomas.

To whom am I speaking?

I didn't ask because
you're my only option.

As you pointed out,
I'm a Dupree.

I have nothing but options.

Okay, so why don't you go
exercise one of those?

Well, maybe I will since you're
being such a jerk about it.

I'm just pointing out
the obvious.

You were adamant
about not being ready for us

to live together
not that long ago.

Am I supposed
to believe you've, what,

just had
a convenient change of heart?

You're the man I love.

I could have easily gotten
a place in Georgetown

or a high rise near the wharf.

But I want to wake up

to you every morning,
and I thought you did, too.

Unless...

unless you were lying
the whole time.

Lia should be ashamed
of herself. You would think

that our chief of staff
would put more effort

into celebrating
milestones like this,

especially for
a first-year nurse

who's accomplished
as much as you have.

Well, it's the thought
that counts, right?

Besides, she doesn't
even really know me.

Well, good thing I do.

Congrats again.

-What?
-[laughs]

Shanice...

This is so thoughtful.

I love it. Thank you.

It's also my way of keeping you
grounded in your calling.

You know, difficult patients,
long nights.

It could be easy to forget
why we chose this,

and I would hate
for that to happen to you.

Well, it's a little
too late for that.

I am opening a free clinic.

Apparently, um,
in order to do that,

I am going
to need a fire permit.

Okay, then just put me
on the inspection schedule.

End of April

Oh, no, baby, mmm-mm.
That's two months away.

No.

Uh-uh. No. Shh, shh.

See, no,
what you're going to do

is you're going to take
your little fingers

and you're gonna clickety-clack
on that tiny little computer

of yours, and then
you are going to find-

Hello? Hello?

I mean, all this hassle for
a little piece of paper just to

tell me that the smoke
detector is working.

News flash,

if it's not beeping,
it's working.

Clueless.

Excuse you?

You want to say something to me

in a decibel
that I can actually decipher?

[sighs]

The fire permit is about
more than smoke detectors.

It would ensure
your facility has things like

a working sprinkler system,

proper storage
of flammable materials,

clear access to emergency exits.

Wow, you really
know your stuff.

Mama, maybe he's who you should
hire to help out the clinic.

Ha! Been down that road,
caught a flat.

Mr. Stop, Drop and Roll here
turned me down, didn't ya?

Of course it's not a lie.

It sure seems like it.

Now that Bill promoted you
to junior partner,

you don't have
to play the game anymore.

You don't have to pretend
like you're serious about me

to impress them.
Is-is that what it is?

Kat, the way I feel about you

has nothing to do
with my career.

You're making a big reach
to avoid a simple truth.

Oh, yeah? And what's the truth,
as told by Tomas?

That you're doing this
for the wrong reasons.

Does my decision
happen to coincide

with my cousin getting engaged?

Sure.

But...

that doesn't make my feelings
for you any less genuine.

Look...

you looked me
straight in my eyes

and told me I was your future.

If that hasn't changed,

help me understand
why you're so against this.

You are my future.

I want to take us
to places neither of us

even thought to imagine.

Which is why

I can't allow us to take
a step we're not ready for.

NAOMI:
Okay.

I'm having trouble understanding
what you're asking.

I'm asking you to talk to Jacob

and remind him
of his priorities.

Really? Because it sounds like
you're sabotaging your son

and asking me
to betray my husband.

I'm trying to save my son.

Elon, if you didn't think
he was ready for this,

why did you assign him
this case?

Because Jacob had a point, okay?

He's been busting his ass

ever since he's been
put on the desk.

And that intel that
he brought us, it was solid.

He deserved a chance.

But you still don't think
he's ready.

Oh, why would you put him
in harm's way

if you weren't confident
in his abilities?

This job comes
with difficult choices.

I'm worried, Naomi.

That these criminals
will make him out

for what he is. A cop.

One of my guys is laid up
in the ICU right now

because he made a bad call
in the field today,

and his partner...

wasn't so lucky.

[scoffs]

I'm sorry, what... what am I

supposed to do
with this information?

You know
that Jacob moved out, right?

I do.

With all due respect, sir,

I'm sorry to hear
about your officers,

but your job is to prepare
and protect them

before they step foot
outside this precinct.

There's no easy way around this,
and I have my own concerns,

but I trust my husband
and his abilities

to think on his feet,
and if his abilities

are strained, I'd like
to think I can trust yours.

I know you're gonna do
everything in your power

to keep him safe
without humiliating him

by pulling him. Right?

I ain't gonna tell you again
to keep it moving.

No need for all that, man.

I was just trying to get a beer.

Hey, didn't I tell-

Hey, bro.

Izaiah?

What the hell
you doing out here?

Well, I could ask you
the same thing.

Bruh. [scoffs]
What are you doing out here?

Damn, you're tense.
What, is this about that...

that mysterious case you're on?

You know I can't get into that.

But you still
ain't give me a answer.

What you doing out here

in Capitol Grove, man?

You ain't been out here
since Pops had to bail you out

for that B and E.

-We're still on that, huh?
-Hell yeah.

All that talk about
turning over a new leaf

and helping students
find their path,

where is that now?

You're not afraid to stand up
for what you believe in.

You and Jacob are alike
in that way.

I am my mother's daughter.

And Jacob is the man
you raised him to be.

You got to trust him
to see this one through.

When's the last time
you spoke to him?

Today.

And how'd he sound?

Exhausted.

Jacob's been
working this case 24/7.

I'm not even sure
if the boy's eating.

I, uh, I did get a chance
to see him the other night.

How?

When I came home,
he was there waiting for me.

Jacob came back to your house

even though
he's renting off-site?

Yes, and thank God he did,
because I needed to see him.

See, this is what concerns me.

A seasoned detective would
have never done that.

He could have led somebody
straight to your door, Naomi.

Okay, but he didn't.

And it's fine.
He's been staying away,

and we've only been talking
through his burner.

Jacob has given you a burner?

So he's keeping a direct
line of contact with you

that anybody can access
if something happens.

I'm sure
he deletes the messages.

And how is that different
from him calling you?

This is a secure line protected
by state-level encryption,

not some cheap phone
you buy from the corner store.

Jacob is being reckless
and naive, Naomi.

You know what?

You're right.

It's not on him to quit
or you to convince him.

This is on me.

I can't believe
I became one of those girls

Chelsea and I used
to talk about,

giving their all to a man
only to find out it's one-sided.

That's not what's happening.

You need to hear me out.

I am trying,

but it feels like you're
the one who did a 180 now.

[scoffs] I don't understand
what the problem is.

I meant it
when I said you're my future.

I love you, Kat,
but taking this step has to be

for the right reasons,

not because your cousin
is getting married or because

you're looking for
an easy escape.

Look, I'm-I'm telling you this

because I love you

and because
I know what comes next

after moving in together.

What happens
to your independence

if we do this too soon?

Will you get a chance
to explore all of you,

to cultivate
your own individual interests?

What happens
if you get pregnant?

It would happen
a whole lot easier

if we were together every night.

Moving in together could
be a domino effect.

It would.

And, to quote a very wise woman,

before we take that step,

we both need to be sure

we're ready to take on anything
that could happen because of it.

You were right,

and I'd hate to be the reason

why you didn't explore
what's out there for you.

So this is
your way of protecting us,

not your way of breaking up?

I'd be a fool
to toss aside a diamond.

And I refuse to let a stupid
argument about dirty dishes

be the end of us because
we took this step prematurely.

Please tell me you understand.

Tell me more
about how I'm a diamond.

Don't tell me I'm gonna have
to start training another nurse.

I hate to hear
that you're feeling jaded.

No,

I'm not leaving.
I'm just...

I'm being honest.

About what this first year
has been. It's been...

exhausting and all-consuming

and more emotional
than I ever prepared for.

That's the nature of the beast.

But you know what else
it's been?

The honor of my life.

The woman that I've become
because of such

a tumultuous first year,
you know...

I wouldn't trade her
for the world.

If you would have told me
a year ago

-that we would be here...
-[chuckles]

...I wouldn't have believed you.

You know, you were
an amazing mentor to me.

I don't tell you that enough.

Well, look at us now.

I'm dating a doctor,

the sexiest, kindest man
I've ever met,

and letting the chips
fall as they may.

I've lost someone
along the way, but...

...I found myself.

Working here has taught me
that life is just too short

to not do exactly
what you want to do.

God, I used to get so caught up
in making the perfect decision,

so that my future self
would be grateful

that I handled
the prerequisites.

-Brain-locked.
-Yeah. You know it.

And look, I don't blame myself.

I was doing what I thought
was necessary, but...

I've really learned
that true freedom

is just trusting the process
and trusting yourself.

And knowing that every decision
you make is the right decision.

And whether it's ultimately
a blessing or a lesson,

there's something to be gleaned.

-Come on, preach.
-[both laugh]

I am so proud of you.

And not because
you are a gifted nurse,

not because you are confident

and you have learned
to bring some quality tea

to this here desk,
but because you are blossoming

into the woman
you were meant to be

without letting a man
cloud your vision.

You can't seriously blame me

for not wanting to work
for somebody like you.

"Somebody like me"?
Did you hear that, Eva?

And you think he's fit

to carry out
the noble work of my clinic?

Don't even go there.
This time last year,

you were mowing down
innocent women

-like stray blades of grass.
-Allegedly.

And that was mowing down
one woman.

And in case you missed it,

I was never charged
with a crime, Smokey Bear.

Now, if you are done
insulting me when my daughter

has clearly offered you
a leg up...

I will go.

Baby? Mama loves you.

And I am off to have a date

with a very wonderful
permit officer

who wants to give me
what I want.

Is she like this all the time?

Even in her sleep.

Well, I feel better about us,

but I still don't have
a place to live.

Aww. House hunting
is the fun part.

Do you know what type of place
you'd want?

Uh, would you prefer
to rent first to feel it out?

Hmm, well,

I'm still in the early stages
of planning, obviously,

um, but I would need
a lot of space, a big closet

and thick walls so I can
blast my crime podcasts

without, you know,
anyone getting the wrong idea.

[laughs]

See? True crime
is your entertainment.

For me, I-I get enough
of it at work.

I prefer to decompress
with a good fantasy book

and a strong rum.

Ugh. Ros� me, please.

Yeah, maybe
this is for the best.

-Hey.
-[laughs]

Seriously, though,
I hope you know that

you can come to my place
anytime you want.

We can get a key made,
clear out some drawer space.

Whatever you need.

Well, it's nice to know you're
still my soft place to land.

I wouldn't have it
any other way.

Apology offering.

I hope I wasn't too hard
on your mom earlier.

I'm used to it.

Leslie Thomas
isn't everyone's cup of tea,

but she's still my mama.

Yeah, trust me, I get it.

Families don't come in
neat little lines, there's...

always a touch of grey.

You can say that again.

Sit.

You seem like you have
something on your mind.

[sighs]

Well, here goes.

I don't like your mom.

I don't trust her.

Got that.

But I am medically retired
from fighting fires,

and even with revamping
my r�sum�

and applying nonstop, I...

...haven't got a single bite.

So, you're thinking...

Look, helping Leslie understand

why things like fire permits
are so important,

that felt good.

I really, really need the work.

I'm hearing
what sounds like a yes?

[sighs]
I'll do it.

Yes. [laughs]

Having someone
with your experience

is gonna be so good
for the clinic.

But there's one condition.

In order for me to do good work,

I'm gonna need limited
interactions with your mother.

Like, next to none.

I report to you only.

-You're hired. [chuckles]
-[chuckles]

Look, Elon, I'm not naive.

I know there is risk

anytime Jacob steps foot
in his squad car,

and I realize what happened
with your officers today

is making you question
how he's handling things.

But I need to believe
that he is in good hands.

I need to remind myself
that he has

extensive training to rely on,

the support of his department

and something bigger
than all of us protecting him.

And I need to hear you say
that you believe that, too.

Because if he calls you,

and he can hear your fear
through the phone,

if Jacob even senses
that his own father

doesn't believe in him,

that's when you put him
in real danger.

Please, Elon.

Be the leader that he needs.

You have my word.

Come by the house
next week for dinner, okay?

Darlene's been asking about you.

-Yeah. I'll be there.
-All right.

Chief Hawthorne.

Beautiful day, isn't it?

I'll, uh, I'll see you later.

All right.

If you've come by
looking for Marcel, he's out.

Aww, too bad. I was hoping

my Detective Boo would help me
out with something,

but I guess you'll do.

I need a permit expedited.

You do realize you came
to the police station, right?

Mm. Yes.

Then I remembered
that we are practically family,

and you do have all sorts
of special contacts.

You think sharing a child
with Naomi's former uncle

makes us blood?

No, I think my Eva climbing
that tall drink of water

that you call "baby boy"
makes it so.

They'll be engaged
before you know it.

Mm, Izaiah isn't the type
to do what you'd expect.

If I were you, I would warn
your Eva that commitment

isn't exactly his strong suit.

Bro, you jumping to me
being up to no good

after everything you've seen
since I've been back?

You still ain't
give me an answer.

All right, you caught me.

I'm here to make a score.

Food.

Hey, you may be too good
for these parts,

but The Jade Noodle
is about a block that way.

Yeah, a little hole-in-the-wall,

but they got the best sweet
and sour pork in all of D.C.

Yeah, I think I heard of it.
You should go.

I will. You sure you're okay?

You worried about Naomi?

Nah, I gave her a burner phone,
so if she needs me,

-she'll hit me.
-Good.

'Cause if you out here
all tense, maybe Pops was right.

I mean, isn't the first rule
of undercover work

-keeping your cool at all times?
-Hey, man,

don't worry about me,
little bro.

Go get your egg rolls
or whatever

and pretend you didn't see me.

Okay. All right,
I'm not gonna blow up your spot.

Hey, but seriously, bro,

keep your head
on a swivel, okay?

And-and act like you belong
around here or something.

You must have forgot
who you talking to.

Go ahead, man, and don't tell
Naomi you saw me, for real.

All right. I got you.

No, man. Go.

What about this one?

It has a soaking tub,
all new appliances

and it's condo style,

so you have a whole building
to protect you.

Uh-huh. And it just happens
to be five minutes away

from where you live.

You're not slick, mister.

-You can't blame
a guy for trying. -Mm-hmm.

Oh, shoot. No pets allowed.

Do you have a furry friend
I don't know about?

No, but I may.

Independent Kat may be
into mini poodles

with a chocolate brown coat.

Mm-hmm. You've already thought
of a name, haven't you?

Rihanna.

[both laugh]

Someone put
some thought into that.

Well, you and Rihanna can
stay over anytime.

Oh, so pretend poodles are okay,

but living
with your real-life girlfriend

is where you draw the line?

For now.

So that very real girlfriend
and I can go the distance.

Sweet.

Hey, this one's perfect
and you know it.

Am I really doing this?
This is kind of exhilarating.

-It is.
-[laughs]

Hi, Vanessa. It's Kat.

I'd love to see one of
the listings from your site.

Would you be able
to set up a showing?

Derek. Are you all right?

Oh, I'm fine. I'm fine, uh...

I know I could have texted,
but I...

I wanted to tell you both
in person.

I found a job.

-Ah.
-Mm.

[laughter]

-Aww.
-Only matter of time.

I only guide winners.

Congratulations.
I'm so happy for you.

SHANICE:
So, what is it?

Finally putting that CDL to use?

-Hitting the road?
-Nope.

I'm, uh, not
even leaving the area.

I'm going to work at
the Phoenix Street Free Clinic.

Well, how did that happen? I...

I mean, I thought you would
never work for Leslie.

Well, I negotiated my terms.

I'm coming on
as general manager,

and I report only
to her daughter Eva.

Oh, the student gains his wings.

Thank you, Shanice.

I'm-I'm just so excited
to get back to work.

I know you are.

It's amazing.

Back doing what I'm built for,

helping people and saving lives.

LESLIE:
Hate to break it to you,

but being a bad boy

isn't a deterrent
for us Thomas women.

Well, this isn't the place
where you get a permit, okay?

So, you have to go through
the proper channels.

Fine. Thanks for nothing.

Oh, and Chief?

I see where baby boy
gets his good looks from.

Mm. That wife of yours
is a lucky woman.

Come on, Jacob.

Just let me know
that you're okay.

Well, if it isn't
my favorite sister-in-law.

-[both chuckle]
-Hey, Izaiah.

What are you doing here?

Eva's meeting me
for a quick lunch.

How's your day going?

I just saw your dad
at the station.

Oh, yeah?

How's Captain Killjoy
doing today?

Well, he's more concerned
about Jacob than Jacob let on.

He could be in serious danger
with this undercover assignment.

And I wish he would just
send me a text,

an emoji, something.

A thumbs-up,
letting me know that he's safe.

You haven't talked to him,
have you?

Nah. No, I haven't, but...

you know, us Hawthornes
are used to this.

I mean, I told you, my mom,
she used to worry herself sick

anytime Pops left for work.

Tried to hide it from us kids,
but we saw it.

And you know what it helped?
Diddly-squat.

[Izaiah chuckles]

Yeah, worrying does nothing
for the situation

but muddy up reality,
which is: Jacob will be fine.

-Okay?
-Yeah.

Thanks, Izaiah.

-EVA: Hey, Naomi.
-[laughs softly]

Hi, Eva.

Uh, here,
you can have my seat.

I'm on the way out.

Naomi. If you don't
remember anything,

remember this.

My big bro loves you
with his entire heart.

Okay? He will move
heaven and earth

to get home to you every night.

Thanks.

I am so glad
you're in education.

I can't imagine the stress
of my partner being a cop.

Mmm, but it smells good.

Shall we?

Yeah.

About time, Smoke. Damn.

Got me freezing my ass off
out here.

Had a crazy run today.

Whole line
was knocked off schedule.

I guess everybody itching
to get that quick plasma cash.

Truck's around the corner.

Drop-off point will be
in your messages

by the time you hit unlock.

All right, for sure.

Go now.
Impaler's getting antsy.

He don't play about his product.

He tell you that himself?

You're wasting time
you don't even have.

Yeah, you right.

I wouldn't want to get
on the Impaler's bad side

or nothing like that.
