I'm thinking that maybe I should
get back with Laura.

Oh, he wouldn't do that.
Curtis.

If she makes him happy,
there ain't nothing we can do.

[Janine]
Previously onHouse of Payne...

-Got me flowers.
-Yeah.

-Huh. You did good.
-I tried.

-Calvin.
-I missed you.

What are we doing?

[banging on door]
Who is that?

-Mom, I'm okay.
-See, babe?

Calvin just needed time
to figure it out.

Good.

Well, I just want him to figure
it out without... Laura?

-Y'all having dinner?
-Yeah, we just sat down.

Oh, that's great.
What you got to eat?

Oh, no, no, Curtis.
Theyare having dinner.

All the times he ate
at our house?

I'm sure there's enough
for you.

-Thank you, Laura.
-Oh, no, no, no.

No, no, no, no, no.
We don't want to interrupt.

We just came by to check
on Calvin

because we hadn't
heard from him.

Oh. Is that so?

Oh, well, yeah.

Like I said, I've been running
around with the boys,

taking them here.

Oh, so you know how it was
then when I was running around

with the boys
and everything.

I do.

Well, it's good to see you,
Laura.

-Yeah, Laura. You look nice.
-Thank you, Mr. Payne.

It's good to see you,
too, Miss Ella.

How are things down at
the church?

Well, things at the church
got me running as usual.

Well,
you are a dedicated member.

They are so lucky to have you.

And how's your barbecue
business going, Mr. Payne?

Good. Floyd and I are
looking to expand.

And you should.

It's only the best barbecue
in the city.

You really feel that way,
Laura?

-Yes, I do.
-Okay.

-Well, you alright with me.
-How have you been, Laura?

You know, I've been managing.

So who cooked?

-Curtis.
-What, Ella? I'm hungry.

I'd be eating dinner at home

if you hadn't dragged me
over here.

Okay, well,
I'm sure you'll be fine.

Hm-hm-hm-uh.

-Who cooked?
-Calvin cooked.

-Uh, I lost my appetite.
-No, Mr. Payne,

don't underestimate
your son.

His baked chicken be smacking.

Smacking?

The only face you'll be
smacking is me.

It's just a figure of speech,
Mr. Payne.

Your son's baked chicken
is amazing.

I bet it is. I'll pass.

Well, good, because I only
cooked for two.

So, you two are back
talking again.

-Yeah, I guess.
-When did that start?

I mean, I'm so excited
for you.

-Oh, you gonna do that?
-Curtis, what?

-Just lie like that.
-Curtis?

Uh-uh. I think it's great

that you two are trying
to work things out.

Yeah, well, you know,
I was saying to her,

we learned from you two.

And we learned a lot from
my parents too.

Mm-hmm.

And what was that y'all
learned from us?

Oh, you don't give up on love.

That you stick to it
and work through things.

Right?

Right.

[music]

[opening theme]

[birds chirping]

[airplane flying
overhead]

[car alarm blaring,
horn honking]

[sirens wailing]

[helicopter blades
whirring]

Well, Mom and Dad,
thanks for coming by.

So sorry that you were
worried about me.

-I hate that you have to go.
-Wait a minute.

I wasn't worried about you.
You know I don't care.

Bye now.

And don't worry, Miss Ella.
I got him.

Likewise.

[exhales] Ooh.

Calvin,
did you see your mother?

She looked like you saw a ghost
when I came out of that room.

Oh, babe,
they were just surprised.

They didn't know anybody
was here.

They sure as hell didn't know
that I was here.

Your mother looked like
she needed a chair.

-Did you see her?
-Look, Laura, can you stop?

-What?
-My mother loves you.

No, she does not, Calvin.

Laura, my mother loves everyone.

Except me.

Okay, look, she's not
the type of woman

that spends time
disliking people, Laura.

She's a church lady.
That's beneath her.

Ha! Them be the worst ones.

Will you stop it?

Oh, so what, I struck a nerve?

Look, Laura, I'm just tired
of you keeping up this beef.

I'm not keeping up no beef,
Calvin.

And I don't start any beef.

Okay, I'm sorry
that I said beef.

-There's no beef.
-Oh, no, no.

See, there is beef.

And I just don't understand how
you don't see that there's beef.

It's like you just don't want
to acknowledge shit.

You just want to just pretend
like the shit ain't there.

And that's why we didn't work.

Laura, can we just calm down
and finish our dinner, please?

Why do we need to finish
dinner, Calvin?

The issues that we have are
still staring us

right in the face.

I don't feel safe and I don't
feel appreciated in your world.

You know, that's ridiculous,
Laura.

Oh, so how I feel is ridiculous.

I wouldn't--
I wasn't saying that.

Oh, that's exactly what you
just said, Calvin.

And your people don't rock
with your girl.

No, you don't rock with
my people, Laura.

[exhales]

[banging on door]

-Look, Mom.
-What's up with you?

So that's what we're doing,
Calvin?

You just not going to answer
your phone, dog?

Yeah, you know we're going
to pull up.

Look, Calvin, me and P,
we're your folks.

And we're not going
to let you get weak

and go back to
that gold-digging,

broke-looking-ass
Laura.

What?

-Hey, hey, hey, Laura...
-Hey...

Did you hear...
Hey...

Calvin, I'm going to go.

-Look, Laura, wait.
-No, Calvin.

Because it's obvious that
your family and your friends

are really concerned about you.

-Look, Laura, stay.
-Thanks for dinner.

You look nice, Miss Laura.

Yeah, I hope it ain't nothing
we said,

because everybody said.
I can do it.

Hey, you really can cook.

And you really can eat.
I got it.

-Oh, my bad.
-No, no. It's fine.

I love when people like
my food.

Chicken, the cornbread,
the rice.

Hm! You threw down.

[laughs] I wanted to do
a little something.

I appreciate it.

This was better than going to
some restaurant.

We're college students.

Restaurant prices are not
friendly to us.

Anyway, I never lie.
So, Jazmine, I got to say,

I can't believe I'm sitting
here with you.

To be honest, I can't believe

I'm sitting here
with you either.

Thank you for giving me another
chance to show you who I am.

You're welcome.

Dad?

Yes. Look at this.

What are you...
[nervous laughing]

Listen, you said that I could
have dinner uninterrupted.

-And that's what I'm doing.
-Is it?

Yes, it looks like the dinner
is over.

So it means that homie
here can go home.

Dad, what do you need?

I just needed to get a cold
drink out of my refrigerator.

That's all. You know?

I mean, this is still my house,
right?

-Is it my house, Jaxon?
-Yes, sir. It's your house.

Do you have a problem with
me getting a cold drink out

-of my refrigerator?
-No, sir.

-Get two drinks.
-See?

Jaxon, you don't have
to kiss up to my dad.

-Yes, I do.
-Yes, he do.

Good answer. All right.

Are you two having
a wonderful evening?

I was, up until like
30 seconds ago.

Ooh, ouch. My own child.
Hey.

Okay, it's a good thing
I have thick skin.

-I'm gonna say goodnight.
-Okay, goodnight.

Mmm, okay.
Y'all have a good night.

Always a pleasure,
Mr. Payne.

Pleasure is mine, Jaxon.
And you're welcome again.

[laughs]

You're not gonna get
your cold drink?

Oh, no, I didn't come down
here for that.

I'm so sorry about that.

It's all good.
I like your dad.

I look up to him.

I, uh, I lost my dad
when I was younger.

Right.
Well, I'm really lucky.

You are.

So, Jazmine,

can I just say
that you're, um,

you're beautiful.

[CJ] Time for you to go home,
Jaxon.

Daddy!

You start talking about
people beautiful,

then it's time
to go home.

Good morning, Mom.

Well, good morning, babe.
This is a surprise!

Yep. I came to check
on my old lady

since you think you haven't
heard from me in a while.

Well,
your old lady appreciates that.

You want some breakfast?
Come on.

Oh, that isn't what I came for,
but, uh, sure.

Fix you a plate, baby.
Come on. Oh, boy.

So, what's on the agenda today?

Absolutely nothing.

And when I say absolutely
nothing, I mean nothing.

There is a meeting down
at the church today,

a committee meeting.
But I told them, I pass.

-You're not gonna go?
-No.

Calvin, I'm tired, baby.

And I just decided
that I just want to be around

my house today and do nothing.

-Whew. That sounds great.
-[Ella] Don't it?

Hey, you know, having two kids,
that's mine.

[Ella] Mm-hmm.

Having two kids,
I understand you and pops

more and more every day.

So, Calvin, how was dinner?

It was, um, a disaster.

Calvin, no, don't tell me that.

-Did we ruin it for you?
-I don't know, Mom.

I feel like it was gonna be
ruined either way.

Why you say that?

Well, Lord, I mean, she's just
holding on to too much.

Okay, but holding on to what,
Calvin?

The thing that happened
over here?

Well, there's that.
And the way I reacted to it.

Okay, Calvin, I got a question.

-Are y'all back together?
-No.

So, are you trying
to get back with her?

Do you want to be back
with her?

-Yes. Yes, I do.
-Okay.

So, now can I ask you
a question?

Yes, Calvin, you answered mine.
I guess so.

Mom, do you like Laura?

Now, Calvin,
why you askin' me that? [laughs]

-Mom, just...
-Calvin!

Just answer the question.
Do you like Laura?

Forgive me.
No, Calvin.

I don't.
I don't like her one bit.

-Mother...
-What, Calvin?

That's not even like you.
I mean, you like everybody.

Calvin, you better get
to know your mama.

Okay?
I will always be your mother.

And when you see me, you see
your sweet old church woman.

But there's another lady living
on the inside of me. Okay?

So, you don't like her one bit?

Well, Calvin, now that may have
been a bit harsh.

Well, that's what you
just said.

I know.
That's what I just said.

You all better stop asking
me questions,

asking me stuff, when you don't
really want to hear the truth.

Truth about what, baby?

I just asked Mom
if she liked Laura.

Oh, she can't stand
that narrowhead.

You know how you say that?
That narrowhead.

Curtis, don't do that.
I did not say that.

Babe, I don't like her either.
What'd you cook?

Yes. Do that. Fix you a plate.
How about that?

Mom, so you really don't
like Laura?

Calvin. [exhales]
Okay, how can I say this?

-You know.
-Well, just say it.

I don't like her for you.
Okay?

Of course I like her

because she's my sister
in Christ.

I do. I love her.
I pray for her.

And I want the best for her.

But you just don't mess
with her.

Listen, Lord knows
I have prayed about this.

God knows I have.
And if she makes you happy...

She does make me happy, Mom.

You're going to have to
do a lot more praying, baby.

Hush, Curtis.

I mean, he said she makes
him happy.

Okay. All right.
Well, just hush and eat. Okay?

Why don't you do that?

Don't be mad at me because you
don't like your son's fiancée.

I ain't got nothing to do
with you and Laura's beef.

-So you really do have beef?
-Calvin.

Listen, I prayed about this.
I really have.

If Laura makes you happy,

then me and everybody else
in this family,

we're going to be okay.

We're going to love her

and we're going to wrap
our arms around her.

-Choke the hell out of her.
-Come on, don't do that.

-Hey, Mom.
-Hey, Jaz.

Where you going?

I am getting ready to head out
for a spa day.

-A spa day?
-Yes, ma'am.

Well, thanks for the invite.

You're more than welcome
to come if you'd like.

Wait, get out. You serious?

Yeah, really, really.
And my treat.

-Your treat?
-Yeah.

Why you being so nice?

I am nice all the time,
thank you very much.

But to pay for my spa day?

You're usually like,
if you want to go to the spa,

then you need to go to work
and get some spa money.

That's who you usually are.

-I say that?
-Yes, you say that.

And I sound like that.

You sound exactly like that.
So why you being so nice?

I have ulterior motives.

About what?

Come on,
don't play dumb with me.

-You know I want to know.
-Mama, you want to know what?

-How did it go with Jaxon?
-Oh, that.

Oh, that. Oh, no.
Was it bad?

It was bad. I knew it.

If he hurt my baby,
I would have--

Mom, hold on now. Hold on.
Assuming the worst.

-It was actually really good.
-[squealing] Really?

I knew it. I knew it!

Okay, you're coming with me,
yeah?

Yes.

Okay, go get ready so you can
tell me all the details.

-Okay.
-Wait, Jaz, Jaz, Jaz.

Did he like the food?

-Oh, he loved the food.
-Yeah?

He even got seconds.

See, the way to a man's heart
is through his stomach.

I keep trying to tell you.

I'm gonna put you on to
everything.

[upbeat music]

Everything okay with Junior?

Yeah.

Uh, I just wanted to make sure
Tracey stayed on him

to get his report done.

Then he got on the phone
and started talking my ear off.

Aw, he misses his daddy.

-Ain't that crazy?
-No, not to me.

Not to me at all.

Because I have an amazing son.

Well, thank you, Mama.
You're great, too.

Thank you.
But this is not about me.

It's about you,
so hush and listen.

[laughs]

Calvin, I pray every day
for you.

I see you with those boys,

and I'm just so proud,
so grateful.

You are a great man.
A great father and a great son.

And I love you, baby.

And I will always be right here
to support you no matter what.

Do you hear me?

Yes, ma'am.

Calvin, I know things
with Junior have been rough.

But keep on doing
what you're doing.

I have seen a light come on
in that boy.

And every time he comes
through that door,

it shines brighter
and brighter, and brighter.

Yeah, well, that boy is
a handful.

Okay, it's on.

You were. [laughs]

Okay.

-Bye, son. Bye.
-Wait, wait, Mom.

Look, you know I respect
your opinion a great deal.

I know you do.

And up until now,

you never gave me your opinion
about the women I date.

Calvin, I've always given you
my opinion, a little bit...

Yeah, but it's very subtle.

Well, either that or you've
just been too aloof sometimes.

You know, the big, airhead.

Well, you know I'm sitting
right here.

-I can hear you.
-Okay, okay.

Well, Calvin, sometimes,
baby,

I don't want to weigh in
on certain decisions.

You have to decide what
and who is good for you.

Okay, but yeah, Mom,

have you ever been confused

about what would make
you happy?

Sure, I've been confused.

So sometimes you want
the opinions of people

who know and the people
who love you.

Right, Calvin,

but sometimes those opinions
can taint your opinion.

Mom, why don't you like Laura?

Since you asked.

I think Laura is about Laura.

Now, I don't judge no woman,

but this one was dealing
with my son.

And since I have seen you
all together,

your light has dimmed,
and I don't like that.

I want a woman for you,
Calvin,

that's going to lift you up,

that's going to push you
and love you,

be patient and kind.

And I'm talking about
the kind of kindness

that lives on the inside of her
that dictates her every action,

especially towards
the Black man that she loves.

That's what I want for you.

-And that's not Laura?
-No. I don't think so.

Okay, so Mom,
I got another question for you.

Ah. Come on, baby.

How do you feel about Miranda?

Calvin, in my opinion,

Miranda is as good as gold.

She loved your dirty drawers.
You hear me?

And baby, it just hurt my heart
when you two called it quits.

-Wow.
-Yeah. Wow.

Thank you, Mom.
I love you.

And I love you too, Son.

[soft music]

Alright.

[sighs]

[banging on door]

-What do y'all want?
-Don't act like that.

Calvin, let me tell you what
we not going to do.

We not going to let you sit up

in here and just waste away,
dog.

Yeah, we got something you're
going to like.

Watch this. Watch this.

-Uh, meet, uh, Deja.
-Deja.

[exhales]

-Meet Tamara.
-[Pookie] Tamara.

-That's number two.
-[Pookie] Yes. Yes.

-And, um...
-[Pookie] Uh, uh...

-Uh, uh, Kenyetta.
-Kenyetta. Yes.

See, we just came over here to,

you know, hang out with you
for a little bit.

And Kenyetta here,

she has been dying
to meet you, Cal.

Uh, yeah. I'm sorry.
I'm sorry.

Guys, y'all got to leave.

But we got the whole
evening planned.

Look, Kenyet--
Kenyetta, yeah?

Deja. Tamara. Yeah?
You guys gotta go. Everybody.

-Right now.
-What did you do?

-Do you see 'em?
-I see 'em. Yes, I see you.

I see you, but you gotta go.
I'm gonna see you walk outside.

-Thank you. Bye bye.
-Now what do you do?

-Oh, yeah. High five?
-Yeah, high five.

Low five.

You said that, what you doing?

-Enough.
-Calvin, you tripping.

Kenyetta was gonna
give you some.

OK, you take tripping.
You tripping.

No, that was for you!
That was for you, Calvin!

We did this for you!
