Original subtitles

And my beautiful baby daughter, Anika, she's not mine.

-So you think she had an affair? -He deserves to know.

I'm in love with Javon,

and he's sleeping with my best friend.

We're nipping this weed thing in the bud tonight.

-I think it's more than weed. -I'm not peeing in a cup!

Who the fuck do you think you're talking to?

So I may get arrested, again.

I set it up for you to turn yourself in, and don't be late,

I called in a lot of favors for this.

It's gonna cost me over $9,000 to get the machines rekeyed.

-I didn't know that. -Baby, he's cold.

Babe, call an ambulance. Come on, Laz. Wake up!

[Pastor Jefferson] Come on, Son! Come on, Son! Laz, wake up, Laz!

He's not breathing. Yes, my husband knows CPR, yes.

Are they on their way?

[Rasheda] Yes, yes. She said they're en route.

[Jefferson] Come on, Laz!

Come on, baby! Wake up, wake up, wake up!

[Jefferson] Come on! Laz?

Lord Jesus, please save our son! Come on, Laz!

-Yes, yes. -[Jefferson] Hurry up. Hurry up!

-Hello? Come on, baby. -[Jefferson] He's breathing.

Yes, yes, yes, yes! He's breathing. Yes.

[Jefferson] Come on. Come on, Laz.

-Wake up, son. -Yes, I gave him Narcan.

-No, don't go out. -Yes, he's responding now.

I don't know what it is. It looks like candy.

Okay, I won't touch it. Yes. Okay. All right.

[siren approaching]

He's responding. Uh-huh. Yes, I do hear the ambulance outside.

I'm going to let the ambulance in.

[Jefferson] Yeah, yeah, let them in, let them in. Thank you.

Thank you so much for your help.

Yeah, he's breathing. He's breathing.

She's going to answer the door right now.

Son?

What's going on? You almost died!

-What is that stuff over there? -What?

That stuff on your dresser. What is it?

-Where'd you get it from? -What happened?

Where did you get that candy looking stuff on your dresser?

What?

Where'd you get it from?

-Um... -Laz.

-I got it from a friend. -Laz! Come on.

-[Rasheda] Come, he's in here. -A friend at school.

Yes.

[dramatic instrumental music]

-Thanks. -Thank you.

[Jefferson] Come on. We're going to the hospital.

-They said I was fine. -I don't care what they said,

and I'm not talking about that kind of hospital.

-What? -Laz, you're going to rehab.

Dad, I'm not a junkie.

You might as well be. You've been doing a lot of drugs.

It's just weed.

Laz, you know it's a lot more than just weed.

It was. Pot.

You were higher than just pot, Laz.

You want to play these damn games with me?

We're going to get the lab results,

and we're going to get the truth, Laz.

-It might have been... -It might have been what?

Laced with something.

As a matter of fact, Laz, where did you get it?

-Where'd you get it? -A friend at school.

-What friend? -I can't rat them out.

Baby, just...

Son...

Look at me, and I want you to think about this.

Do you want to deal with them, or do you want to deal with me?

Dad, please. I promise I won't do it again.

Boy, your ass almost died.

I know.

No, you don't! That stuff was laced with fentanyl.

Do you hear what I'm saying?

Yes, Dad, but I didn't know that.

[Jefferson] I know you didn't know it.

That's why you're going to tell us where you got it from.

Because the next kid may not be so lucky, Laz!

Baby.

Tell us.

It was Bennett's older brother.

Wait, wait. Bennett's older brother?

-Bennett from the church? -[Jefferson] Roger's son?

[Rasheda] Yeah.

[Jefferson] He doesn't go to school with you.

Wait a minute.

You've been getting drugs from the church the whole time?

Yeah.

-Right up under our noses. -I'm sorry, okay?

Who else? Who else has he given it to?

-A couple of kids have tried it. -I need names.

-Boy! -I'll text it to you.

No, no, no. I need you to write the names down.

-Every single one of them. -I don't know where my phone is.

Guess what? I do.

It was at some thug's house last night

-when I went looking for you. -You're tracking my phone?

Oh, are you offended? I sure the hell do.

I didn't know that.

Well, now you know. So you're gonna do what your mother says.

You're gonna write down every name.

Then you're going to get up, you're going to get dressed,

and we're going to the hospital, Laz.

Dad, I'm not going to the hospital.

Who in the hell do you think you're talking to?

I will drag your ass there, Laz. Please don't try me.

Because you know I'll do it.

Get upstairs. Change your clothes.

-We are going. Now! -Come on. Come on.

We almost lost him.

You have no idea what a miracle that was.

Yeah, it was. And it was a miracle that you had the Narcan.

Babe...

The Holy Spirit told me to buy some Narcan this week.

I have it at the house, the car, it's even at the church.

I am so blessed to be married to a woman

who listens to the spirit of God.

-It's called obedience. -[Jefferson] Yeah.

I'm just hoping that it is what he says it is.

I know. I mean, let's hope, but we got a lot to clear up.

[Rasheda] I'm on it.

All right. I'm going to go talk to his dad.

You want me to go with you?

No, no, no. We need some time together.

You get an early start on your day.

-Okay? -I love you.

Love you, too.

I'm going to see if he needs some help.

Okay.

Thank you, Jesus. For saving our son. Thank you.

-[Geneva] Knock, knock. -[Naomi] Come in.

Oh, hey. We actually knock now?

-Hi. -Oh, hey.

How are you?

-I'm fine. How are you? -You're dressed all early.

-[Naomi] Yeah. -Hm.

Well, I talked to a colleague of mine,

and we can go talk to him down at the courts.

Oh, um, I already got that handled, actually.

What? Who?

Well, actually, Javon. He's going to meet me there at 11.

Oh. You went to see him?

Well, I mean, he's actually a really good defense attorney.

Well, you know, you could have had the common decency

to say that before I came all the way over here.

Okay. Hold up. So you didn't want to come see me?

Of course I did, Naomi. It's all about you.

Oh, I didn't mean it like that. But wait.

Something's different with my girl's energy. What is this?

Anika took a pretty bad fall last night, so.

-Wait, who? -Girl.

Your baby. Your baby. Girl, I'm sorry.

You still smoking that shit?

I wake and bake, drink and shake...

Well, that makes one of us.

I'm sorry. Um...

She's fine. Thank you for asking.

That was my cue to ask, okay. She's okay?

Whatever, just stop.

Well, shit, I'm trying here.

Listen, me coming all the way over here

after my baby's taken a fall last night? Seriously?

Yeah. You're right.

Whatever. You know what? I'm going to go.

Wait. No, where are you going?

-You said Javon is handling it. -No, but I need my girl there.

Let me check my schedule.

Well, fine. Tiffany probably going to be there.

Well, she's become his shadow now, so she probably will.

Yeah. Well, you know, I ain't trying to gossip,

but I was over at the house,

because I was coming in and the alarm started going off.

Girl, he came down the stairs.

Boxers, D just swinging, girl.

-Wait, who? -Javon.

-Boxers? -Boxers.

And then she came down in her robe,

but girl she ain't have no bra on, and they...

Girl.

You should have set me up with him instead of Tiffany.

So they fucking?

Oh, yes. For sure. Girl.

Wow.

Just saying. Yeah.

I mean, girl. What you waiting for? I mean...

I mean, she literally met him like 2.5 seconds ago.

Ah, ah, ah. 2.5 seconds was our go-to number.

-You know we had our hoe days. -I'm going to go.

You know you ain't got nothing to do, girl.

Whatever.

Ok, you're still coming at 11, right?

I'll see. Bye, Naomi.

-Bye, girl. 11. -[Geneva] I'll think about it!

[Jefferson] Hey, good morning, William.

[William] Hey, Pastor Jeff.

Hey, man, look. I got a quick meeting,

but I'll be at the office by 11.

[William] Okay. Thank you. I'll see you then.

All right, man. Thanks for understanding.

[William] Sure thing.

Son, I'm sorry I had to get that rough with you. Okay?

It's not what I wanted to do. But it had to be done.

Yeah, I understand.

Do you really?

Yeah.

No, I don't think you do. It's my fault.

I've sheltered you too much.

I'm not that sheltered, Dad.

You know, all the pain and hurt I've been through in my life

is one of the reasons why you don't see your grandfather.

He was very abusive to me and your grandmother.

He beat the hell out of me and my brothers.

He was a raging alcoholic, Laz.

And I think because he beat them so much,

that's why they're all on drugs, Laz.

And I'll be honest with you. I'm just waiting on the call.

That'll come one day, that lets me know that they're dead.

I can't have that with you, Laz. Mm-mm.

See, I made a decision that the generational curse

would end with me. You will not be that, Laz.

Do you understand me?

-Yeah. -Okay.

And look, I know it's hard, being the kid of a preacher.

But...

You can't do things the way other kids do things, Laz.

I mean, you're not like them, okay?

You're different.

Laz, you're special.

-Dad? -Yeah?

I don't want to be special.

I want to be normal.

I get it.

I want you to be normal too, Son. I understand that.

And at the church?

They're watching and saying that...

"I know you're gonna be a preacher like your dad."

Mm.

And asking me if I can date their daughter.

Mm.

When they don't even know me.

Is that what makes you want to be a bad guy?

It makes me mad.

Because I want to be normal. I'm not perfect.

-Look, I'm not either. -They think you are.

Look, I'm not, Laz. And you know that.

I try to live my life with integrity, okay?

And just be good to people.

And that's all I want for you. All right?

I don't lie. I don't cheat. I don't steal. I don't do drugs.

My highest goal in this life, Laz,

is to know that God is pleased with me.

And to hear two words. "Well done."

And that's what I want for you, Laz. Do you understand?

Yeah.

[Jefferson] I hate to tell you this, but I have to.

You can't get away with what other kids get away with, okay?

You're different. You're special, again.

I pray over you like you wouldn't believe, Laz.

And whatever you do, it'll be revealed.

Great.

But that doesn't mean I won't show you grace, okay?

The same grace that God gives all of us.

But this drug thing, Laz? Mm-mm.

Dad, it's not like that.

Okay, well, let's see what happens

-when the lab results come back. -You'll see.

Even weed is not something you should be doing, okay?

I got it.

I really, I really love you, Son.

Like, I love you, man. If anything ever happened to you--

I'm sorry. I really am.

Did you see your mother's eyes?

Yeah.

I don't ever want to see that look again.

We can't have that.

I promise.

Okay.

[lovemaking sounds]

-[Javon] Oh, I'm there. -[Tiffany] Oh, don't stop!

-Oh, I'm there. -No, don't stop!

[knock on door]

Tiffany?

-Who was that? -It's Rasheda.

How the hell did she get up here?

We all have keys to each other's houses.

-[Javon] Oh. -[Tiffany] Oh, damn.

[Javon] Oh, you gotta be kidding me.

Okay.

[knocks]

Hey, girl. You called me?

Yeah. Yeah, I'll call you later.

No. No, no, no. I'm here. We can talk now.

-Okay. Okay, but, uh... -[Rasheda] I heard him,

and I heard you coming when I was coming up the stairs.

Um... Um...

I'll be downstairs making coffee.

[Tiffany] Okay.

Oh, I'm so sorry. What is so funny?

Your friends are hilarious.

Oh, man. But, yeah, now I have to hear a whole sermon

about having sex with you.

Oh, why? She don't believe in premarital sex?

No, she's open-minded, but if we're up to her,

we would all be nuns until we got married.

Okay, I hear you.

I'm sorry.

-No, it's all good. -Yeah.

How do you want me to take this walk of shame?

It's not a walk of shame. Just get dressed.

-Do I have to? -Um...

-Okay, okay, okay. Okay, okay. -Okay, go get dressed.

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

-Hi. -Good morning.

-Remember Javon? -Mm-hmm.

-Good morning. -Good morning.

I see you made coffee.

For her and I, but I can make you some to go.

No thanks.

-I'll see you later, baby. -Okay.

-Okay, before you start... -I ain't about to start nothing.

My body needed that.

Okay.

[Tiffany laughs]

And when we woke up this morning,

he told me that my house

is as beautiful as I am, and that we fit.

-Oh, did he now? -[Tiffany] Yeah. And girl?

-Girl, he has the biggest-- -No, no, no, no.

Oh, come on. You were a woman before you were a preacher.

Too much information. That ain't none of my business.

Okay, well, just know that it was the fantasy of fantasies.

What happened to taking it slow?

I was going to, and then last night just happened.

Tiff, you barely know this man.

I know. I know, but I'm gonna ask William to lunch.

Why?

So he can tell me what's going on, since Geneva won't.

I don't think that's a good idea.

Yeah, you're right.

I do need to call and check on Anika, though.

Oh, she's fine. She's at home, resting.

Oh, okay. Okay, good. I'll go by there today.

So you called me last night?

-Uh-huh. -Why?

-To talk me out of it. -I can't be your conscience.

I know, but you always have the right thing to say.

It helps me think.

Okay. Well, think of it like this.

The way a thing starts is usually what it will be.

So if you lead with sex, then nine times out of ten,

it's just gonna be sexual.

Mm-hmm. Yeah. But he really likes me.

-And how do you know that? -[Tiffany] I can tell.

Or maybe he just wants to have sex.

Uh, no. No, is that what you think it is?

Absolutely. But what do you think it is?

You know what? You're right. I shouldn't have slept with him.

I mean, what's done is done, Tiff.

I should repent.

-Repent? -Mm-hmm.

Are you sure you're ready to repent?

Yes, yes. But it was so good.

When you repent, your heart is saying

that it's not gonna do it again.

So that don't sound like what your heart's saying.

-I can't make that promise. -Okay, I can't.

Okay, hey, you know that I am a babe in Christ.

-For the last 30 years? -God knows my heart, girl.

I can't with you. I'm done. Okay?

Don't call me to talk you out of something

you know you gonna do anyway. Okay?

Over here wasting my gas money.

-Sorry. -I'm done with you.

I'm sorry! I love you.

-You forgot your coffee. -You owe me $50.

[playful instrumental music]

[knock on door]

-[Naomi] Hey. -[Hakeem] So, what's up?

[Naomi] It's good.

[Hakeem] You ready?

As I'm ever gonna be.

Okay.

And I can't ask you to give me none of the money upfront?

For what?

Damn, you really don't trust me, huh?

I think you know the answer to that.

But I'm just supposed to blindly trust your ass, huh?

Yeah. That's the only way this shit gonna work.

All right. It's your world.

So, what's next? Come on. You know the drill.

[Hakeem] I'm not wearing a wire.

Show me.

And I'm not taking my damn clothes off. All right?

You think I'm a narc? We don't need to be doing this, then.

All right. I can tell you not.

I mean, so you want me to prepare for that

every time I come around? Like...

Every time. Whether we fuckin' or not.

You happy?

Come on, baby. I'm always happy around some D.

So, what's the plan?

Well, he's still at the hospital.

How you know that?

Don't matter. Don't ask me no questions.

Wow.

So, he's at the hospital now, but he's gonna go home.

He has his fish tank at the house,

and he don't let nobody check it.

Why not? Like...

Come on, he's anal. Everything is in its place.

One time, I came from downstairs,

my lipstick was, like, smudged.

I accidentally ran into him, and this motherfucker

just smacked me right across the face.

Damn. It was like that?

Oh, yeah. He beat the shit out of me all the time.

Damn.

Yeah. I had to hide for months after I left him.

[Hakeem] Damn.

Well, you don't seem like you're scared of him no more.

I was a girl then.

I'm a woman now.

You're damn right about that.

I can't wait to get even with his ass.

You know, uh, you should have just told me that.

Told you what?

That he was putting his hands on you and shit.

I mean, it's a whole different story now.

You don't even know half of it.

Spare me the details. I heard enough.

Do you know that he was molesting my son

and turned him against me?

This motherfucker gotta die.

-Exactly. -Look. What we doing?

-I'm ready. You ready? -Let's do it. Come on.

[dramatic instrumental music]

Dad, why are we in here?

We're waiting for your doctor.

-Why did we leave the exam room? -Said he wanted to meet here.

Dean.

-You look good. -Hey, Laz.

Hi.

Thank you for checking on this for us.

Well, I looked at all your labs. Your EKG showed a strong heart.

You may be a bit groggy today, but you'll be fine.

Wow. That's good to know.

-Say thank you. -Thank you.

You're a very lucky young man.

Do you know how deadly fentanyl is?

I didn't know it was laced.

[Dean] Yeah. A lot of people say that.

But if your mom hadn't had Narcan,

you'd be on this table behind me.

-Do you have a death wish, son? -No.

Well, I hope this scared you enough to never do that again.

Kids are dying every day from this stuff.

I won't do it again.

Come with me. I want to show you something.

Come on. Let's go.

So this is our morgue, Laz.

Mm-mm, No. No.

[Dean] Your parents love you. You know that, right?

Yeah.

They only want the best for you.

Yeah, I know.

But what you don't know is that all those boxes behind you

are full of young people whose parents loved them.

And now they're dead.

This kid was 14.

First time trying molly. Dead.

There's another kid over there who was 11.

He smoked pot laced with fentanyl just like you did.

-What? -[Dean] And he died.

Jesus.

[Dean] Look. None of us want this to be you, Laz.

But it can easily be.

I know when you're young you think you're invincible.

But you're not.

Okay, I get it. Can we go now?

-Thank you, Dean. -[Dean] Yeah.

-We'll see you later. -Hopefully not in here.

Oh, God. No. Not in here. Let's go.

Let's go.

Excuse me. Ma'am? I'm sorry, ma'am, you cannot go in here!

-Okay. Thank you. Hi. -It's fine, Karen. Thank you.

Karen?

You would have a white woman named Karen working for you.

-I'm sorry. -Thanks, Karen!

-What do you want, Naomi? -To talk.

Didn't you say everything

that you needed to say this morning?

Geneva, I was just playing. Come on.

No, you weren't.

Look. I need you.

You got your lawyer, Javon. Okay?

No. I mean, I got him for a few things, but...

-Naomi. -That's Tiffany's man now. Okay?

I'm not crossing that. That's girl code. No.

What do you want?

When I go to turn myself in, they may keep me.

I'm glad you finally realized that.

[Naomi] I'm prepared for that.

But with this nigga trying to sue me...

[Geneva] Yeah?

Can he keep my money?

-Yes. -But we can appeal it?

Yes, we can.

Okay, but we gonna tie that shit up in court for years?

Yeah, but he can still get it.

And interest is going to accrue as we wait on the appeal.

Damn. So he still gets me?

Baby, you got yourself, okay? You did this.

Oh, Geneva, please. I don't want to hear this right now. Please.

Listen, I'm not in the mood for your bullshit, okay?

What is wrong with you?

Did you even have an appointment?

I got work to do.

Damn. Fine.

-[Geneva] What is this? -I want you to have it.

-Girl, I don't need no damn bag. -Look inside.

-[Geneva] What the... -That's five million dollars.

I want you to keep it and hide it from me.

Keep it somewhere safe.

What am I supposed to do with this?

-Figure it out. -I can't take this.

-It's not yours. It's mine. -Where am I supposed to put it?

Put it in a safety deposit box.

Because this shit is finna get ugly.

Are you serious?

Yes. His lawyers will never be able to track it.

Keep it from me.

-You know what? -What?

Give it to your son.

So he can tell his father, Franklin? I don't think so.

-You don't trust your own son? -I don't trust anybody.

But you trust me.

I trust you. To a point.

Give it to Rasheda.

Rasheda? So she can go give it to the church? No, ma'am.

-No, no. This is the best plan. -No, no, no. I am not the plan.

See, the problem with you is that you act like you're crazy,

-but you're not. -I know. I'm sane, sis.

That's why you should understand how serious this is.

I do.

I'm not letting him get everything.

I'm gonna move even more.

I'm gonna move 15 million to an LLC.

And another 10 million offshore.

But my account in Asia, if it's frozen,

ain't no way he can access it, right?

Yeah, that's right.

Okay, good.

That's gonna be my "bag lady" fund.

Keep it safe from me.

Okay, fine.

So, when are you gonna go to the bank?

Girl, I can't just stroll up in there

with a bag of five million dollars.

I'm gonna have to call and make an appointment.

-Okay. -[sighs]

Well, I'm gonna get this over with.

Do you really think that they could keep me? For real?

Well, I mean, at this point,

you're gonna have to talk to Javon.

-He'll know more. -Okay.

[birds chirping]

-Good morning. -[Jefferson] Hey, morning.

-William is here to see you. -Okay, thank you.

-Sure. You want some coffee? -Nope, I'm good. Thank you.

-Hey, man. Hey. -Hey.

-[Jefferson] Hey. -How you doing?

-So sorry for being late. -No, no, no, no, no, it's fine.

-Are you sure? Is it? -Yes, yes, yes.

I'm thankful that you could see me.

Man, listen. You sounded like you needed to talk,

so how can I help you?

Yeah, it's just, it's um, it's just crazy.

Yeah, man. I know. I know it is.

You know, it's like, how can my baby not be mine?

Okay, wait.

Are you sure there wasn't a problem with the IVF process?

I'm sure, it wasn't. Geneva lied.

She tricked me, Pastor.

I'm really sorry, William.

I just been, like, trying to do, like,

this process of elimination around that time.

Okay. So what are you thinking?

Well, I can only come up with one man

that was, like, always around.

So, who are you talking about?

You.

[chuckles]

I know you know it's not me.

I know. Okay. I know it wasn't you.

Okay. I have never, nor would I ever, do that. Okay?

I know, I know.

And then it got me to thinking the only other man was Javon.

Mm-hmm.

Right? But I... he was happy with his wife,

and I know he would never do that.

-[Jefferson] Right. -And neither would Geneva.

[Jefferson] Okay.

But then there is this guy that she works with.

What guy?

[William] He goes to the church.

[Jefferson] Who are you talking about?

I can't think his name. It's, um, Quincy? Quincy.

-Quincy? -[William] Yeah.

-You think so? -Well, I mean, I, I don't know.

I'm just, you know, Pastor, I'm trying to think.

I have a thought.

-Why don't you just ask Geneva? -Because she won't tell me.

William, just try. Just try and ask her.

You know who knows?

-[Jefferson] Who? -Rasheda.

She tells her everything.

Yeah.

So, I don't know.

Maybe, uh... maybe you could talk to Rasheda.

Try to... Try to find out.

-William. -Please. I'm just--

We do not trade information about the people we counsel.

I know, I know, but we're friends. I'm just asking--

I know we are, but that's even more reason why we can't do it.

I can't do this. Pastor, okay? I need to know.

I mean, part of me, I just want to go,

and I talk to this Quincy guy. I go down there right now. Right?

Maybe that's not a good idea. Maybe you shouldn't do that.

-Why not? -Okay. I got an idea.

How about me, you, Rasheda, and Geneva go to dinner tonight,

and we can talk then. How about that?

She's not gonna do it.

[Jefferson] I'll talk to Rasheda.

She's not gonna do it.

We'll plan the dinner and get you the answers that you need.

-[Jefferson] Okay? -Okay.

-[Jefferson] All right. -Pastor, this is killing me.

-[Jefferson] I know. -I need to do this tonight.

-[Jefferson] Okay. -Okay?

[Jefferson] All right.

Well let me check her schedule and see if she's available,

and if so, I'll hit you right up, and we'll set it up.

-Okay. -[Jefferson] Okay?

I gotta get back to campus.

All right. I know you do. Let me pray with you before you leave.

[William] All right.

Dear Heavenly Father,

we just ask you that you would bless William.

Give him peace, give him clarity, and give him answers.

In the name of Jesus, we pray. Amen.

-Amen. I appreciate you. -I got it, man.

-Thank you. -You're welcome.

-Okay. -Absolutely.

He got to be out of his mind, thinking me and Geneva.

I would never.

-Good morning. Good morning. -Good morning.

Yes. Good morning, First Lady.

Oh, I have the morning schedule already laid out for you.

Okay. Just give me a minute.

Myron, can I talk to you for a second, please?

-Yes. -[Rasheda] My office. Thank you.

Go.

Lord have mercy.

Have a seat.

[suspenseful instrumental music]

You look nervous.

No, I'm not.

-Bridgette? -Yes, sir?

I need to know First Lady's schedule for tonight.

-Okay. I can check with her. -No, no, no. She in?

Yes, sir. But she's talking to Myron.

You, uh, you want me to go get her?

Nope. Mm-mm. She need to have that conversation.

Okay.

Myron, you are the best assistant

my husband has ever had.

-Thank you. -I mean, you keep him organized,

and he can be very unorganized with all that he has going on.

Well, I try.

But...

Please, please don't fire me.

-Why would I do that? -I'm sorry, First Lady. Go on.

What I'm asking is very simple.

You see, I'm his wife.

-His right hand. -Yes, First Lady.

His rib. His neck.

I help him to look the right way.

Of course. I get it.

And I understand that in order for you to

do as good a job as you do,

you have to care about a person.

It's more than a job. It's a calling.

Yes, it is.

You have to have a relationship with the person.

Yes. Of course.

Right. Even beyond professional.

But you can't cross the line. You can never cross the line.

Yes, ma'am.

Myron, do you want to sleep with my husband?

No. No, ma'am.

So you're just attracted to him?

Ma'am?

Myron.

You're gonna have to be honest with me or I can't trust you.

So tell me.

Nobody's ever been nice to me like he has.

-He cares very much. -Mm-hmm.

I didn't have a father figure, so I think I may have, uh...

-You may have feelings for him? -[Myron] Not like that.

I love him, but not like that.

Oh, no. I think... I think you love him like that.

-First Lady? -[Rasheda] Myron?

I'm just trying to be honest.

I think you're offering the only honesty that you're...

that's available to you. You know, I have a person.

Oh, she's a great therapist

that I think could help you work through this,

if you're interested.

Work through what, First Lady?

Whatever you're dealing with, struggling with.

But I'm not struggling with anything.

You just mentioned your daddy issues, didn't you?

Well, that may be a problem, but I--

That you can talk to her about.

Um... Okay.

It is very important to both me and my husband

that whoever's around us is very clear about who they are.

Now, we're accepting of everyone.

As long as they're accepting of themselves.

Do I make myself clear?

-Yes, ma'am. -[Rasheda] You understand?

-I understand. -[Rasheda] Good.

And, Myron, I'm gonna say this as nice as I can.

But if I ever hear you talking about

you being attracted to my husband,

or my husband being attracted to you or anyone else,

I'm gonna bust your head open with a Bible.

You understand?

Yes, ma'am.

You may go. In Jesus' name.

[door closes]

-[Tiffany] Hey. -She's late.

Oh, God. Let me call her.

-Damn. -What?

You look beautiful as hell.

[tender instrumental music]

Thank you.

And you smell good, too. Is that you?

Girl, you smell like fresh-baked cookies.

[both laugh]

[Geneva] How unprofessional.

-Geneva... -Hi.

-How's Anika? -Oh, we care.

Well, yes, of course.

Well, you didn't call me last night.

Well, that might be my fault.

I told her that you would call if it was important.

-Important? -[Javon] Yes.

Oh...

So my child being hurt in the hospital

didn't qualify as important to my friend?

Geneva, that is not fair. You made me leave.

Yeah, well, you didn't try to stay.

What?

Oh, and I'm gonna have Rasheda babysit her when we go to Italy,

so you're off the hook.

[Javon] Well, that works out great.

Why?

Well, I told Tiffany that she should join us.

Yeah, that's not happening.

-Geneva, what's going on? -Where's Naomi?

What's going on?

Everything is going on, okay? I have a lot going on.

Yeah, well, you are really acting like a bitch.

Whoa, whoa, whoa. Baby.

"Baby"? This is ridiculous.

What the fuck?

You know what? I don't even know why I'm here.

-Why is she acting like this? -I don't know.
