Original subtitles

I'm done. Hell no. I'm done.

-[Naomi] One million dollars. -Damn.

So, you gonna do this or not?

-I need you to pee in the cup. -I'm not peeing in the cup.

-[Rasheda] I said-- -[Laz] Don't make me hurt you!

-Just give me the money! -I need you to leave.

-Fine, fine! -No, no, no, no, no!

She fell off the swing!

She's going to need a blood transfusion.

-No, I'll do it. -Anika is AB.

-But my blood type is O. -Yes.

So there's no way that my child would be AB.

Mm-hmm.

I'm sorry, but that is what's going on.

-Geneva, what's going on? -Uh, I'm... I, I...

I'm just as confused.

Well, ma'am, we need to get this blood for her.

-[stammering] -Geneva. Geneva.

-Okay, I'll be back. -Geneva.

-[Geneva] Doctor. -[William] Geneva.

[light dramatic music]

-Hey. You okay? -Yeah, yeah.

Yeah. Yeah, yeah, I'm fine.

-What, what's going on? -No, nothing.

Uh, uh, you guys go. Doctor said she's gonna be fine.

-Is Anika okay? -Yes.

They're just gonna give her some blood.

They want to watch her, uh, overnight.

She's fine. I'm fine.

-Um, bro, you don't look fine. -You sure?

Yes. I'm positive.

Guys, go. Enjoy yourself, okay?

-Okay. -No. No, I'm staying.

Well, if she's staying, I'm staying.

Guys, we're fine. Please, just go.

I can't have a good time while she's in here, William.

Tiff. I'm telling you, she's fine.

Will you please take her for me, man?

-Okay? -Tiffany.

[William] Y'all go, go. Have dinner.

-Okay, okay. -[William] Okay.

Fine, but please call us.

-I will. -All right.

Okay, see you.

-All right, brother. -I appreciate you.

-Yeah. -All right.

[music continues]

[sighs]

[Dresden] You okay?

[melancholy music]

No.

You know, I've been with you

since you've been trying to get pregnant.

Yeah, I know.

So?

Just tell me.

What do you wanna know?

Is there a possibility that the IVF didn't work?

The IVF was your egg and William's sperm, but--

So she's not his child?

I'm sorry, Geneva.

[crying]

She has to be his child.

It's not scientifically possible.

There's no way.

I'm sorry.

Do you have any idea who the father may be?

I... I, I...

I just need some time, okay?

Can, can you just give me some time?

What do you mean?

Okay.

Tell, tell him that the IVF,

that there was a mix-up with the IVF.

He's a professor. He knows.

I know. I just--

You just need to tell him the truth.

[knocking on door]

-Hi. -Grayson.

Hey.

-Come here. -I'm so sorry.

Thank you for coming.

[Grayson] Yeah, of course.

It's so good to see you.

You too, Francis. Thank you.

I'm so sorry.

Yeah. Me too.

You see what your mother did to her?

Is she gonna be okay?

I don't know. It's touch and go.

Really.

What happened?

Well, your mother threw a boiling pot

of hot coffee on her.

I saw the video.

What video?

It's online now.

Huh.

I need to get a copy of that to my lawyer.

Lawyer?

She was arrested, Grayson. I'm pressing charges.

But, Dad--

[Franklin] I don't know what else to do.

I have sued, I have threatened.

It makes no difference.

She won't stop.

I know, Dad. I'm sorry.

She rolled up in here earlier with some dead thorny roses,

threw them at Lindsay, hit her in her back.

What? Is Lindsay gonna be okay?

I don't know, Son.

Oh, no.

-Apparently, she has sepsis. -Oh, Dad.

That's bad.

Well, they have her on all kinds of antibiotics.

So we're hopeful.

Look, Mom is getting worse.

She calls me all drunk

and leaves all these crazy messages.

Hmm. About what?

Uh. Nothing important.

Come on, Grayson, tell me.

I don't want to get in the middle with you guys.

Look, I understand.

But it's too late for that. You're in the middle.

So tell me what she said.

Well, I don't want to be.

You should tell him. It's really disturbing.

Thank you, Francis.

She said that I will get

your insurance money and the business.

It's all gonna be left to me when you're gone.

Did you save the messages?

I did.

I'll need to send them to my lawyer.

Dad, she needs help.

All right? I feel like I'm betraying her.

Grayson, look at what she's done to Lindsay

and all the horrible things she has said to you.

Son, you are not betraying your mother.

She is betraying herself. You hear me?

I know.

And if we don't get her locked up

and get her the help she needs,

she's gonna do something far worse.

Okay.

So, send me the messages, Grayson.

-Okay. Okay. But, Dad-- -[Franklin] Mm.

I want to try and talk to her.

Grayson, Son, I don't think that's a good idea.

-I can try. -We have all tried. Okay?

All it does is incite more anger.

Right, but what if I talk to her?

We have all tried to talk to her,

her friends, her pastor, with no success.

Well, I have to try.

I'm a psych major. Maybe I can try.

Oh. Francis, you have no idea

the wrath that waits for you if you did, my dear.

It's not a good idea.

I'm gonna try.

Okay, Grayson.

Do what you have to do.

But don't say I didn't warn you. You hear me?

I have to try.

I understand, Son.

I understand.

[tense music] What the hell?

Hell, no.

I have a gun!

[Vaughn] Don't shoot, baby. It's me.

What the hell?

-[Vaughn] Hey. -[Bridgette] Don't "hey" me.

Boy, I thought you killed yourself.

Babe, I was gonna do it, for real.

Wait. What you doing in my house?

[Vaughn] Come on, Bridgette. They looking for me.

Well, you can't be here.

Come on, babe, please?

You need to leave, right now.

Are you really finna to do me like that, Bridgette?

I'm not looking back. It's over.

[Vaughn] Babe, after I tried to tell you

how bad it's been for me out here?

After you pretended to-- You know what?

I can't even say it.

I was gonna do it, for real.

Listen, I'm gonna call the police if you don't leave.

You would do that to me?

This is over.

-Babe, I need you. -Hmm.

Well, it ain't over for me.

[Bridgette] Oh, well, you can go ahead

and be in a relationship by your damn self

because I told you it's over for me.

Bridgette, you will leave me,

knowing how bad it's been for me?

And you don't want to help yourself?

I do! That's why I'm here.

No, you don't. You don't want to help yourself.

You just want to play the victim.

How can you say these things to me, Bridgette?

[Bridgette] I can say these things

because you're always playing the victim.

You never want to take responsibility for yourself.

-I don't know what to do, then. -I told you what to do.

But this ain't gonna work for me.

Well, damn, I'm sorry. I'll get a job, babe.

-I promise. -Hm.

You gonna get a job? You ain't gonna keep it.

I will!

Well, you can do all that after you get out of jail.

Bridgette, if I go to jail,

I'm not gonna be able to get a job, Bridgette. Please!

"Please"? Vaughn, you shouldn't have hit that man like that.

Babe, I don't know what came over me, for real.

Oh, I do. You got angry.

You hit that man, and you was wrong.

-That's all that matters. -Okay.

You need to go. Leave!

Bridgette, you really gonna call the police on me, though?

What did I say?

Okay, fine. I'll leave.

But if I get locked up,

I'm not gonna be able to get a job, Bridgette.

Can you please just talk to him, please?

What?

[Vaughn] Yeah, he'll listen to you.

What the hell makes you think that?

You and I both see how he be flirting with you.

What? No, he don't.

Come on, babe. You can't be this naive.

That man is married.

Okay, so why does he have a picture of you

up in his locker?

-What? -Mm-hmm.

[playful music]

-You lying. -I'm telling you, he does.

So can you please just talk to him, babe, please?

Go, now.

-Go! -All right.

Whoa, whoa, where you going?

I'm gonna go out the window. They looking for me.

I can't get caught up.

-But I love you. -Boy, don't touch me.

-[Vaughn] All right. -Bye.

-I still love you, for real-- -Don't.

I gotta go. All right.

This nigga jumping out of the second floor window.

What am I doing?

Everything okay?

[Geneva] Yeah. Everything's fine.

-Yeah? Okay. -[Geneva] Yeah.

Did they say how long before they gave it to her?

-As we speak. As we speak, yeah. -[sighs]

And Grace should be able to take her home tonight, so...

-[William] Okay, good. -Good news.

-Good. Hmm? -[Geneva] William?

Baby, I think we need to talk.

-Yeah? -[Geneva] Yeah.

You know, I think you right about that.

Yeah, that's... Let's sit.

Hey.

So, the IVF...

Yeah. Yeah, what about the IVF, baby?

There may have been a mix-up.

Okay, a mix-up?

With your sperm.

We're gonna have to sue the hospital.

Sue the hospital?

Yeah.

I was just talking to my doctor about it.

Okay, and then, and so she said that something happened, or...

I'm, you know, she's not gonna admit it.

Yeah. So I don't, uh, I don't know

what you're trying to say to me, Geneva.

There may have been a mistake with your sperm.

Okay. Uh...

Okay, wait, wait, wait. Is there a test that I can take?

-Yeah. -Yeah.

See, that, that, that's fine. I mean...

Anika's still mine, right?

-Absolutely. -[William] Yeah.

It's not like she's anybody else's.

I know you wouldn't do that to me.

No, no.

I mean, you know I couldn't get pregnant on my own anyway.

Hey. Let me ask you something. Is that the only way?

-[Geneva] William. -Hm?

-Don't do this. -No, I just wanna know.

Is that the only way?

Is what the only way?

Some type of IVF screw-up? I...

There was a mix-up with the IVF.

Baby, that's not what I'm saying.

See, what I'm asking you is, was that the only way?

What are you insinuating?

I ain't insinuating nothing.

Because I don't believe

you would ever do anything like that.

I don't think you would hurt me.

I don't think you would cheat on me.

I don't think you would do that.

Would you?

You know I wouldn't, Geneva.

Hmm. Do I?

What? What is, what do you, what is this?

What is this?

Anika said that she saw you hugging some pretty lady.

-Geneva. Geneva. -[Geneva] Uh-huh, yeah.

And I saw you and Yara at the carpool.

-Are you serious right now? -I am dead serious.

You know what?

I think this is enough talking for the night.

-Answer me. -No, that's not true.

We need to talk about this, William.

You just gonna walk away?

Fucking typical.

Fuck.

Oh.

[phone ringing]

-Hey. Yeah. -[Kelli] Dad.

[Kelli] I, I, I think you need to come home.

Why? What's going on?

Mom's not gonna want me to tell you.

Well, I'll just call her and ask her.

[Kelli] No, no, no!

She'll get mad at me for telling on her.

Okay, well, then what happened?

She should tell you, but--

Kelli, look, I can call her and ask her myself, okay?

Knew I shouldn't have called you.

[Jefferson] Kelli.

Look, you know you can always come to me, okay?

So just tell me what's going on.

Laz went crazy.

What does that mean?

He, he took money and, and, and--

What?

He, he, he tried to hit her.

Kelli, what are you saying?

-He did. I... -Where is he?

-[Kelli] He's gone. -Where is she?

[Kelli] Uh, she's sitting in the kitchen.

Okay.

Dad, she's, she's been crying.

[Jefferson] Oh, God. Kelli.

I need you to tell me the truth on this.

Is Laz on drugs?

I, I don't--

[Jefferson] Kelli, tell me the truth.

Um, all I know is that he's with some guys that smoke weed.

-Where? -[Kelli] I don't know.

-Where was he, Kelli? -I don't know, Dad.

[Jefferson] All right, fine. I'm on the way.

Dad.

-Please don't tell Mom. -[Jefferson] I won't.

[suspensive music]

[Operator] Your call is--

Find Laz's phone.

[phone chimes]

Do you think we should have left?

I mean, clearly they wanted us to leave, so...

I just, I don't like leaving her.

Mm, I get it. [smooth jazz music playing]

I'm gonna leave my phone out on the table

just in case they call.

Yeah, sure.

I can tell you care about them.

I do love them.

It's a beautiful thing.

This is a nice place.

Yeah. First time here.

Yeah, me too.

Uh, red or white?

-Red, please. -[both chuckle] Okay.

Well, let's hope you like the menu.

Now, one second, sir.

I'm not picky.

Yet another thing I like about you.

Mm, mm, mm, mm.

What do you mean?

Well, I mean, not for nothing, I thought you were going

to be a little high maintenance.

What? Me?

[chuckles] Yeah, you.

That could not be further from the truth.

-[Javon] Oh, really? -Yes.

I'll have you know that I cut my own grass.

-Get the..., no. Stop, stop. -[Tiffany] Mm, mm. Mm, mm.

-Please. Wow. -Yes, yes.

I grew up on a farm in Indiana.

-No, okay. -Mm-hmm.

Those two things don't even make sense.

-Well, here I am. -Stop telling stories.

[laughs] Oh.

Yeah, my daddy didn't play. He did not care if I was a girl.

-We had to work. -Wow.

-[Tiffany] Yeah. -How many siblings?

-Two brothers, one sister. -Okay.

Y'all close?

Yeah.

As close as we can be, living in different states.

Mm, I can understand that.

[Tiffany] What about you?

-One brother. -[Tiffany] Mm.

Who lives in Ohio with his wife and eight children.

-[coughs] Eight? -Eight.

Yeah.

Oh, wow, they must have gotten started early.

Mm-hmm. Yeah, 20.

And they've been together for 40 years.

Whew. Whew!

-Shit, 40 years. -[Javon] Mm-hmm.

He's 15 years older than me.

Okay, so that makes you 45.

-Bingo, bango. -We're the same age.

-Wow. -What?

-W-O-W. -[Tiffany] What?

A woman who's not afraid to share her age.

I told you, I'm a simple girl.

-[Javon] Mm-hmm. -Mm-hmm.

Who loves her diamonds.

-That I worked my ass off for. -I mean, clearly.

So you don't think I got them...

from my ex-husband?

Why would I think that?

Because most men do.

I'm not like most men.

Mm.

Yeah, this is fine.

Thank you. Please.

Thank you.

And as a bartender, I was paying all the bills, so...

-He was a bartender? -[Tiffany] Yep.

Worst mistake of my life.

Ugh. Well, I used to think the same thing about my ex.

-You don't anymore? -No.

-Can you teach me that trick? -[both laughing]

Um, it's-- Thank you very much.

-Thank you. -It is about understanding.

Mm.

You know, I take the lessons that she taught me.

Keep the good ones.

And the bad ones, I make sure I never have to put up

with that nonsense ever again.

Here's to never dealing with bullshit again.

Ah, there will always be some bullshit.

Are you hiding something?

-No. -Mm.

It's just that, as long as there's humans,

there's gonna be bullshit.

So let's rephrase it.

Okay.

To allowing humans to make mistakes.

But never do that shit ever again.

[laughs] Yeah. Can definitely toast to that.

Laz.

Laz.

-What? -Don't you "what" me?

I'm hungry.

You just wait till your father gets home.

He ain't gonna do shit.

Don't you ever in your life use that language in this house.

Do you understand me?

All he care about is the church.

You're gonna be in big trouble.

I feel good.

So it was worth it?

I'm not one of those kids at the church.

Y'all help them way more than you help us.

You just wait till your father gets here.

He don't scare me.

Plus, he's never home.

You just wait.

[light dramatic music]

Where are you going?

You're pathetic.

-Me? -Yes. You.

If you're gonna talk about me, I'm gonna talk about you.

I don't have anything to say to you.

Mom, do you know she's been having sex with--

-Stop it! Stop it! -With Jermaine andCarlos?

What? What are you talking about?

She's been having sex with Jermaine andCarlos.

-Kelli? -No.

-[Kelli] Laz. -What? You were.

I hate you.

What? You were talking about me.

What's going on?

What? She was.

That's the last time you what me.

[music swells] [men chatting indistinctly]

Say, what's your old ass doing in my hood, boy?

-I'm looking for Laz Jefferson. -Laz?

Yeah. You know him?

[Trigger] Shit, I know you got a nice car.

Look, man, I'm looking for my son.

You know you got a lot of balls coming in our hood

with that nice car, man.

Laz!

Hey, what is this? Electric, bruh?

Do you know him? My son?

[suspensive music]

Yeah, you know him.

Oh, you talking about Laz here? Yeah, he inside, nigga.

-Go get him. -Give me the keys.

Go get my son!

Man, do I look like I work for you, man?

-I said give me the keys! -Laz!

[phone ringing]

Hello.

[Kelli] Dad, he's home. Where are you?

I'm on my way. Thank you.

[Kelli] Okay.

All right, y'all. False alarm. Never mind, okay?

[Trigger] Hey, this bitch lit, isn't it, y'all?

This motherfucker hard.

Young, young man. Get away from the door, son.

[Trigger] Nigga, shut the fuck up.

Yo, you got a Bible back here, nigga.

-What, you is a preacher, nigga? -Yeah. I am.

And I see what you're trying to do.

You're trying to scare me, but you can't.

Scare you?

The Bible says the Lord didn't give us a spirit of fear,

but of power, and love, and a sound mind.

So you ain't taking my car that I worked hard for.

-Oh, yeah? -Yeah.

I bet you I'll take that motherfucker, nigga.

[Trigger] [indistinct] nigga. That nigga will shoot me!

See? See? Why you wanna do this, son? Why?

Why? Why?

'Cause, see, I'm a preacher, but I'm also a Marine.

-Okay? See? -[Trigger] Shoot him!

And I try to be a peaceful man, I do!

I really do!

But when I'm provoked,

you gonna see that I'm the kind of man

that will fuck you up

and pray for your healing at the same damn time!

[Trigger growls]

So what I'm gonna do is get in the car that I own,

go to the house that I bought,

and we gonna act like this never happened.

Okay?

Fuck off me, man! Shoot this nigga, man!

-[Jefferson] [grunts] -[Trigger] Shoot!

Fuck off me, bitch-ass nigga!

God bless.

And good night.

The doors of the church are open for you.

[car screeches violently]

I hope Anika's okay.

-I'm sure she's fine. -[chuckles]

Uh, kids. [chuckles]

I remember when my son was that age.

Mm. How old is he now?

Twenty. He's in college.

-[Javon] Mm. Now... -He's a great kid.

I look forward to meeting him soon.

No, that's not gonna happen for a while.

And why is that?

Because he's very protective of me.

As well he should be.

You know, you keep saying the right things.

I'm just speaking from the heart, baby.

-Mm. -[both chuckle]

What about you? Any kids?

Yeah. I got one that's your son's age.

-[Tiffany] Mm-hmm. Mm. -That's in design school.

And the other one is with her mother.

Great kids, though.

Here's to great kids.

Here is to great kids.

[both chuckling]

[Tiffany] Mm.

Ah, although, I think about Geneva

-having Anika so late. -[Javon] Mm.

-She wanted that baby. -[Javon] Mm-hmm.

I couldn't imagine doing that at this age.

Mm. Why not?

-I... -What do you mean?

Well, I mean I don't think it'd be that bad.

I mean, we are smarter.

-Mm. Mm. -[Javon] Wiser.

I know for damn sure I'd be a better parent now

than I was in my 20s.

Yeah, you're right.

We are more settled and more mature.

And can afford milk and diapers.

[both laughing]

That was you, too?

Well, I was on the struggle bus in law school.

But we made it!

-Mm-hmm. Mm-hmm. Mm-hmm. -[Javon] Somehow, we made it.

And it's been great ever since.

Yeah, yeah. I worked at a real estate office

and got my license.

And then I worked my ass off

to make a name for myself in this town.

To making a name for yourself.

-Are you trying to get me drunk? -Just relaxed.

I am relaxed.

Good, stay that way.

[both laughing]

I think we should get some coffee.

-Hm-hmm. -[Tiffany] Mm.

I ain't trying to get on the sober train just yet.

-Oh, so you're drunk, too. -A little bit.

Uh. Maybe we should get a ride share?

Yeah.

After this next drink. [smooth R&B music]

Okay.

Hey, Dr. Dresden. How's she doing?

She's in the room now. She's fine.

Oh, thank God.

You can go sit with her if you want.

-She's been calling for you. -Has she?

-[Dresden] Mm-hmm. -Okay.

We're only keeping her for the night for observation.

[William] Yeah, yeah. Well, listen, thank you.

Thank you very much.

Uh, I just want to ask you a question.

I think you should go and sit with your daughter.

But would I be sitting with mydaughter?

[light suspensive music]

Because, see, Geneva seems to think

that there was some type of, I don't know, mix-up

with the IVF process.

She's planning on suing the hospital,

which means suing you.

Since you were with us through this entire thing,

you could be sued for malpractice,

for misleading us. So I just want to make sure

you didn't do anything inappropriate.

I'm sure that she can't say anything.

I'm sure that the hospital

has rules about legal claims, so...

Okay.

-Okay. We should go. Yeah. -Yeah.

[whispers] Hi, honey. [indistinct]

Why don't you go home?

-Home? I'm not leaving her here. -[William] Mm-hmm.

Mm. You always leave her for work.

Because, see, I do all the drop-offs.

I do all the pick-ups.

You know, life is more than drop-offs and pick-ups, right?

Oh, okay.

You do it because your schedule is freer than mine.

That's what you tell yourself?

-William. Don't do this. -[William] Hm.

Don't do what?

Can we just focus on our daughter?

Oh, you wanna focus on our daughter?

-Yeah. -[William] Okay.

Okay, you don't wanna deal with all the lies

-that you've been telling? -[Geneva] William.

I haven't told you any lies.

You still lying. Did you see Dresden's face?

See, that's a doctor. She knows.

-William. -[William] Mm.

Just tell the damn truth!

[shushes] Keep your voice down. She can hear you.

Your child is sleeping. Don't try to stand behind that.

Can we just focus our energy on getting our baby home?

Why don't you just go?

-Get out of here. -I'm not leaving.

Why are you making this so hard, Geneva?

She's my daughter, too.

Don't you give me that "too" shit.

Don't you do it. You're lying.

You're just avoiding the truth. Just get the fuck out of here.

[scoffs]

-You got me fucked up. -[William] Mm.

'Cause I don't know who you're talking to like that.

I'm talking to you. If you don't like it, leave.

[tense music]

I'm gonna give you space to get your shit together.

-Okay. -[Geneva] Okay.

I'm gonna find out who it is.

You bet your ass I will.

[door shuts]

[Javon] I had a great time tonight.

[Tiffany] Yeah, this was a good night. Me, too.

No, I mean, I had a really, really great time.

Yeah. Same.

It's really nice to meet a woman who can handle any subject.

I thought you were testing me.

Uh-uh, no, I just wanted to see who I had in front of me.

Do you know now?

Well, I trust William and I trust my gut, so, yes.

Oh. Speaking of which, they haven't called.

Hey, no, I think that's a good thing.

If something was wrong, they would've called, so...

Yeah. Even though she's been avoiding me lately.

Why?

-I don't know. -Hmm.

-She'll call. -Yeah.

So I guess this is good night?

I guess so.

I can't wait to see you again.

[smooth R&B music] Same.

I kinda don't want this night to end, though.

No, I feel the same.

Then invite me inside.

Uh.

I've had too much to drink.

I'm not, not trusting myself.

And why is that?

Oh, I'm not trusting my, um... my body.

Mm, I can understand that.

'Cause right now I just want to take you inside

and do all of the things with you.

And to you.

Yeah. That's what I'm feeling.

[Javon] Mm-hmm.

-How do you feel about that? -Like we just met.

Are we 17? Is this the problem?

-What's happening right now? -Oh, God. Oh, God.

We are two adults.

I'm pretty sure. And we know what we want.

Yeah.

Yeah, we do.

So how about we have one more drink?

And if you want me to go, I'll go.

Deal.

-Deal. -[both chuckle]

But what if I want you to stay?

Shit.

[Tiffany] [chuckles]

This is it.

Uh.

What do you want to do?

[sultry music]

Mm.

[door opens]

-Grayson. -Mom.

Grayson, what are you doing here?

What is going on?

What, wait, what do you mean? What?

Are you watching Dad and Lindsay's wedding footage?

Grayson, you are supposed to be at college.

What is going on? Dad called me.

-That bitch. -[Grayson] Mom.

You have to stop this.

I'm not doing anything.

He's going to have you arrested.

Hmm. He already did that.

Again!

Grayson, if you drove all the way here

because you want to take his side,

you may as well go home. Go.

I'm not on either of your sides.

Yes. Yes, you are.

Because you're talking all about him

and not about what he's doing to me.

Mom, I came here to try and talk to you.

-Talk to him. -[Grayson] I did.

Grayson. I don't want to hear this shit.

Well, you need to. I just left the hospital.

You went to see that white bitch?

Mom.

She's a nice lady.

That nice lady stole your daddy from me!

The marriage was over before he met her.

Oh. That's the shit he told you?

That's what I know. I saw it.

Oh. Yeah.

He's lying to you.

He's turning you against me. That's what the fuck he's doing.

-Mmm. -Mom, no, he's not.

He's lying.

I could tell.

You don't love me.

Mom. You know I do.

No.

You went to see her

before you came here to see me.

She is in really bad shape.

That's good.

You threw hot coffee on her.

I tried to boil that bitch.

Mom. She now has sepsis.

That's nice.

She could die.

That is one less motherfucker

that I don't need to have killed.

You don't mean that.

Grayson, I'm your mother. You know me.

And I said what I said.

[knocking on door]

-[indistinct] -Mom.

Who the fuck is this?

Hi. I'm Francis.

Who is Francis?

She's my girlfriend.

-Your girlfriend? -Yeah.

You couldn't find a nice little Black girl?

-Mom. -Oh.

You're just like your father.

Bringing home some white bitches.

Don't call her that.

Why the fuck would you bring her here?

Mom, look, I love you.

But this is out of hand.

Grayson, go to college. Leave.

You, too. Get out!

I didn't plan on staying here. I'm staying with Dad.

Oh, it's good. He already turned you against me anyways.

He did not. It's what you are doing

that I can't deal with.

Grayson, why the fuck did you come here with her?

Dad said there was no talking to you.

And look at you.

You standing here, talking.

-I tried. -I know.

Uh, wait, wait, wait.

No, no, no.

Don't you talk to my son in front of me.

-Let's go. Come on. Come on. -You know what?

You and your father, oof.

You give Black men a bad name.

You really fucking do.

When your father was broke,

white bitches wouldn't even look at him.

I built that company.

Next thing I know, all the little white bitches

start scurrying once he turned rich.

That's what you want? You want his dick?

-His Black dick? He's rich. -Excuse me?

Mom, stop! Stop it! First of all, dad is Dominican,

Black, and German.

Oh, please. Who gives a shit?

All that is is a nigga with a gyro and a taco.

You must like that, huh?

Yeah, uh-huh. You speak Español? I see it.

-Excuse me? -Let's go. Let's go.

Let's get in the car. Mom.

-Stop it! -Don't you keep my son.

I'm tired of this, Grayson. Go run.

You gonna drive the car that I got you, right?

-Yes. That's the car I-- -[Grayson] Mom, stop!

The car you are driving, I bought you, bitch!

Ooh, fuck!

[sniffles]

[light dramatic music]

Geneva.

-Hey. -What, what's going on?

Is Sheda home? She's not answering.

I think so.

I need her, please.

-Okay. -Please, Jeff.

Let me go check. Okay?

Stay right here. I'll be right back.

Okay.

-Hey. -Hey.

Look, Geneva's outside, waiting for you.

What? Wait, what?

She just said she'd been calling you,

you haven't answered the phone.

I, I haven't had my phone on me.

Well, look, I don't know what's going on.

All I know is she's out there, crying her eyes out.

Okay. Um, Lord have mercy.

Okay.

Babe?

You, you okay?

No.

But please go handle that so we can talk.

Okay.

All right, now, I'll be back in a second.

-Hey. -Hey.

Hey, what...

Anika fell.

Is she okay?

She's fine.

[Rasheda] Okay.

I... We had to take her to the hospital.

And they ran bloodwork.

[light dramatic music]

-Rasheda. Rasheda. -Okay, okay.

You know it's not his child.

Does, does he know?

Yeah.

It's all right.

I tried to lie about the IVF.

You can't do that.

You can't. You can't lie to him anymore, okay?

You got to tell him the truth.

I know.

But...

It's gonna break his heart.

[Rasheda] I know. I know it is.

But it's worse with him finding out like this.

Rasheda, I don't know what to do.

He deserves to know. He deserves to know the truth.

That's, um, that's Tiffany. I'll call her back.

I just didn't mean for all of this to happen.

-[Rasheda] I know, I know. -I didn't.

[phone chimes]

So she's sleeping with him?

Oh, no.
