Original subtitles

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

Yeah. I'm sorry, okay?

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

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

Keep it somewhere safe.

Myron, do you want to sleep with my husband?

No, ma'am.

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

Whoa, whoa, whoa. Baby.

-Baby? -What the fuck?

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

I don't...

I don't get this. I really don't understand.

I'm sorry that this is happening to you.

This is crazy.

I'm gonna just... I'm gonna call Rasheda, I guess.

You think she knows?

She knows something, but they like to keep secrets.

So you all are friends?

Yeah, we are.

This ever happened before?

-No. -When did it start?

When I met you.

Huh.

Hmm.

-What? -Nothing.

No, no, no, tell me.

It just feels like I've seen this before.

You know, friends are happy for you

as long as you're single, and...

Wait, whoa, whoa, whoa. I'm still single.

Okay, I just meant...

As soon as you start seeing someone,

then all of a sudden they get jealous.

No, she's... she's not like that.

Okay, well, have they ever seen you dating anyone?

Javon, we're not dating.

We'll circle back to that.

Have they ever seen you with someone?

My husband.

The bartender.

Yeah, and?

I'm not a bartender.

My girls are not like that.

Just calling me skeptical. It might be the lawyer in me.

She's not like that, okay? I'm gonna figure it out.

Okay, well, you should.

And I'm sorry if I spoke out of turn.

It's okay.

-Thank you for your concern. -Always.

Now, about that dating thing.

What about it?

I know that things are moving kind of fast.

Yeah.

But I'm a little too old to be just figuring things out.

What are you saying?

We should date.

And see what this really is.

I thought that's what we were doing.

We are.

We absolutely are.

I guess I'm just...

looking for some clarity.

Because...

I am not...

looking at another woman.

And I'd like to know that you're not looking at another man.

Yeah, no, I'm not seeing anyone.

Whew.

Well, let's stay on that track, then.

Don't you think this is moving a little fast?

I think...

...that we are two grown-ass adults...

...who know what they want.

Yeah.

We do.

You should call your girl.

Yeah.

This judge is pretty impatient.

Oh, right, yeah. Naomi.

-Okay. -Okay.

[sighs]

[contemplative music]

[Hakeem] So... this the house?

No.

I was about to say.

[Naomi] Mine was nicer.

You know, mine used to have this, like, really dope...

You know what? Never mind.

You can't drive by the front of the house

'cause he has cameras and license plate readers.

So you got to park over there

and go around the front of the yard.

She there by herself?

Yeah.

But she's got, like, a little dog that she takes

to dialysis with her.

So she should be leaving in about...

two hours.

Got it.

So come back here. Later.

Get in over there and just wait for his ass.

Gotcha.

Oh, take this.

It's a ghost gun.

I'm good. I don't need it.

All right? I got my own.

Yeah, something that the cops gonna trace back to you.

You been to jail.

And I learned to never go back.

[Naomi] Take the gun.

Go over the fence.

And go around the pool.

There's a flower pot that's right on the back porch.

He keeps a key under it.

It's so damn stupid.

Alarm?

He usually sets it at night.

But...

you got to look through the window.

Okay.

Look to the window to the left of the kitchen.

If it's green, then it's on.

All right, gotcha.

I want you to film it.

How I'ma do that with a gun in my hand?

Hakeem, like this.

Have it sticking out of your pocket.

All right.

Look, you gonna have my money, right?

Hakeem, I'll have your money.

All right. Look, I'm not playing with you.

You doing this tonight? Tonight?

Look, after I'm done,

I'm coming straight over here to come get my money, all right?

This place is gonna be hot.

Gonna be a whole lot of heat.

And I gotta get the hell up out of here,

-all right? -I know.

So...

So, Hakeem, stop asking me about your money.

I got you, all right?

Just make sure you get this shit done.

[Hakeem] All right.

[tense music]

Bridget?

Well, that was quick.

-I was just passing by. -Uh-huh.

And why were you just passing by?

No reason. You know, I be busy taking care.

-Mm-hmm. -How did, uh...

-How did that go? -How did what go?

Your talk with Myron.

Good. I think he's straight.

You do?

Straight about what I was saying.

Oh.

'Cause, girl, I was finna to say, what you looking at?

How you feeling?

I'm okay. Oh.

Well, Vaughn came over.

-I told you. -I know, I know, I know.

And just like you said, he was begging and all.

-Did you take him back? -I did not.

-All right. -I told you.

I was moving on, and I meant it.

Let me tell you something.

God gonna have to hurry up and give me what I want,

'cause, uh, bay-bay!

"Those that wait on the Lord--"

"--shall renew their strength," I know.

But look, Bridget is getting weak.

And I'm just saying, you know, Tiffany...

Uh-uh. You know I don't gossip.

I know, I know. I'm just saying.

-Tiffany got weak. -And?

Oh, okay.

Oh, uh, your husband came to see me.

Why didn't you lead with that?

I can go tell him that you free now.

Don't worry about it. I'll tell him myself.

Okay.

I'll follow you.

[knocking on door] Yep.

Can I come in?

Yes, of course.

-[both sigh] -[Jefferson] Come here.

How'd it go?

Baby.

-That bad? -That good.

Yeah, I think we got through to him.

You think so?

Look, they took him to the morgue.

-Yeah. -What?

I know.

They showed him some kids who passed away.

And, babe, babe, it seemed to really get through to him.

-Yeah. -Good.

-I mean, he's a good kid. -Yeah.

-You know? -I know.

I mean, I tried to tell him how special he is.

-Did you? -Mm-hmm.

But, you know, he didn't want to hear it.

But I don't blame him.

I mean, growing up, I mean, I barely got away with anything.

[laughs] You too!

I wanted to be in a club so bad,

but my mama would have killed me.

-You turned out all right. -Yeah.

-You did, too. -Thank you.

So, how was your conversation with my secret admirer?

-Don't play with me. -[laughs]

Babe, no.

In all honesty, I don't know how much longer he can work for me.

It's fine. He's...

He's just confused.

Yeah, but what if he doesn't figure this out?

Well, that's not on you. That's on him.

I know, but I don't want to be uncomfortable,

you know?

He can't make you uncomfortable unless you allow it.

But I'm not talking about it like that.

You know me.

I have to trust people to be comfortable with them.

Well, how about you give it a try, and if it doesn't work,

-then you fire him. -Hmm.

-I like that plan. -See?

-That's why you got me. -Exactly.

And you got something else, too, babe.

-Yeah? -Are you...?

What'd you think? You sitting on my lap.

We're at church.

Haven't you heard of being holy and horny?

[both laughing]

Really? Coming up with this stuff?!

Holy and...

Hey, we're married, okay? We are married.

-Did you forget that? -We are.

-Okay. -Happily sometimes.

Do you want to find out these results or not?

-Oh, you got them back? -I do.

Okay, yes, absolutely.

But are you going to feel guilty if he wasn't lying?

He was still smoking weed.

Okay.

-That's what he said. -That is what he said.

Hmm.

-Just as he said. -Mm-hmm.

T-H-C.

Yep. And that is?

Mm. Fentanyl.

[exhales]

Gotta steal... I'm just...

I know. We almost lost him.

-Yes, we did. -We just...

-But thank God he's okay. -Yes.

So we just got to keep a closer watch on both of them.

-All right? -Yeah.

-Okay. -Okay.

Well, I'm going to leave you two.

No, no, no, no, no, no, no.

No, no, no, no. Ooh, ooh.

And I have lunch with Tiffany, so...

Oh. Oh, wait, wait.

Hold on, hold on, hold on, hold on, hold on.

Baby, I think I wet up your dress.

-Stop it, you idiot. -Hold on.

No, seriously, seriously.

You going to take care of me when I get home?

-Of course I am. -Okay.

All right.

Don't make promises you ain't gonna keep.

-Oh, I'ma keep them. -Okay.

Oh, speaking of promises, hold on, babe.

Seriously.

I told William that me, you, him, and Geneva

would go to dinner tonight.

-Okay? -Babe.

Babe, look, they really, they need our help.

-Oh, my gosh. -They need our help.

Okay? So just call her.

All right?

You don't know what you're getting us into.

Yeah, but I know what I'm getting us into later.

No, you're not, 'cause you don't know what

-you're getting us into. -What's that mean, babe?

-Huh. -Babe, what's that mean?

Baby.

Babe, what's that mean?

You'll see.

I'm seeing right now.

[exhales]

Good morning.

-Hello. -How are you?

I'm good.

-I mean, you look good. -Thank you.

You... look interesting.

Oh, okay.

But, baby, is your pearls

supposed to be inside your jacket?

Well, I like to wear it like this,

-thank you very much. -Oh.

Different.

Girl, wasn't it something at that banquet?

Her throwing that hot coffee on that poor girl?

Mm-hmm. That was a lot.

I'm so sorry that happened.

-How is she? -I wouldn't know.

-Mm. -Okay. All right.

Did you hear about Miss Kent?

-Mm-mm. -Really?

Well, I'm surprised, because I heard they're getting a divorce.

-Oh. -Yeah.

We got to pray for them.

Yeah, that would be so much better than talking about them.

Oh, girl, 'cause you know

I would never do that or spread gossip.

No. You would never do that.

-Never. -Never.

-Mm-hmm. -Okay, but, um, mm-hmm.

How is your, um, your young friend?

-How is he doing? -He's good.

-Really? -Yeah.

Because I heard he hit Deacon Calvin.

-Oh. -Mm-hmm.

Yes. Yes, he did.

He did. You right.

-And that is so wrong. -So wrong.

And then I, somebody told me he might be going to jail.

How do you know that when you don't gossip?

But, to answer you, he might.

Mm. Baby, that is so sad.

I'm sorry, why are you in the executive office?

Don't you work the community ministry?

I'm here to take my beautiful husband to lunch.

We here in his office.

You can hurry if you can catch him.

Uh-uh. That's him walking up right now.

Hey, baby, what you doing here?

I came to take you to lunch.

Oh, but I can't.

It's, it's really busy today. Pastor's still here.

Oh.

I knew I should have called.

Yeah, it's okay.

You know, I love this man so much.

He is so good to me.

[chortles]

-Denise. -What?

You are.

Okay, well, I really need to get back to work.

Okay, well, let me know when you get a break.

-[Myron] Okay, I will. -I love you.

Okay, I love you too.

Well, do I get a kiss?

Yeah.

I told you about wearing your pearls like this.

[contemplative music]

How was the banquet?

Well, hello.

So I thought about it.

What?

I'm gonna drop the charges.

Thank you.

But I'm gonna need my key.

Okay.

I will call him and tell him that.

-Okay. -And again, thank you.

But, um, Bridget.

Calvin, I can't do this.

Don't go back to him.

Excuse me, but who are you to tell me what to do?

I'm just trying to be a friend to you.

Well, fortunately, I have enough friends.

But thank you for not locking him up.

No, I didn't say all that. I said I need my key.

And I said I will call him and tell him.

Okay.

-But listen. -What?

What?

You know what? Fine.

I'm done.

What was that all about?

Don't tell me you were out there listening to my business.

No, but I could see it on his face.

He was just in here tap dancing on my last one good nerve.

Well, he should be worried about his own marriage.

His own marriage?

-What you talking about? -It's on the rocks.

-For real? -[Myron] Yeah.

They seem so happy.

They're not. Days away from divorce.

Huh. Hmm.

What?

Let me ask you.

Do you think he'd be flirting with me?

Uh. Yes.

How come everybody else can see it but me?

Well, he's married. He has to be careful.

Even still, he ain't even my type.

Have you seen his nails? Like, he bite them.

I don't want no man that's... nom, nom, nom, nom, nom...

-on his nails. -No, I get it.

Better not touch me with them Ninja Turtle fingers.

Yeah, well, he's going to be expecting something in return.

So...

What you talking about?

Bridget, you're not naive.

Wait. Does he think that?

Listen. I don't know what he thinks.

But trust me. He will expect something.

I don't care what he's expecting.

He ain't getting nothing over here.

I'm just saying he might want to "nom, nom, nom..."

on something else!

[fake gags]

[phone vibrates and rings]

Hello?

[Tiffany] Hey. Have you talked to Naomi?

Uh, no. I haven't.

Okay. Well, she was supposed to meet us and turn herself in.

-[Rasheda] What? -Yep.

-She's a half hour late. -Okay.

-I'll try and call her. -She's not answering.

[Rasheda] Okay. Well, then I'll try her again.

Okay.

Oh, look. If I don't get a hold of her,

I'll head over to her house to check on her.

-Okay. -[Rasheda] All right.

But you can't tell Jeff.

I'll meet you there.

Okay. Bye.

[Tiffany] Bye.

[line trilling]

[Naomi's Voicemail] You've reached Naomi Price.

Leave a message.

Naomi, it's Tiff. Where are you?

-She's still not answering? -No.

Well, the deal is off.

What does that mean?

It means they're no longer letting her turn herself in.

They're going to arrest her on sight.

This girl.

And they revoked the bail on the first incident.

So she is in a pickle.

We really don't know how to help her.

Your friend got some real problems.

Yeah. She does.

-How are you doing? -I'm okay.

-Yeah. -Good.

I still want to see you later.

I would like that.

Your house?

I'll see you later.

[sexy music]

Naomi.

Where the hell are you?

Hi. Can I help you?

-Hello. -Oh, hi.

-[Geneva] Hi. -It's good to see you again.

-Can we talk? -Sure. Yeah.

You just caught me between classes.

Yeah. I saw your schedule.

Does this have to do with Maddie?

-Maddie? -My daughter?

-Oh, no. -Good.

I thought she had done something to Anika or something.

That little girl is so precious.

She is.

I didn't see her at school today.

Yeah. She wasn't feeling well.

-So we decided to keep her home. -Oh.

I'm sorry.

What can I do for you?

-Can I ask you a question? -Sure.

Are you fucking my husband?

What?

I don't know how I can make that any clearer.

You know, I had a feeling when you came in here

the first time this was not about your daughter.

I've never seen you drop her off.

You're never at any of the PTA meetings.

Mrs. Rose said

you were going to be at the PTA meeting last night

but neither one of us were surprised

when you didn't show up.

Is that your way of answering my question?

No. I am not sleeping with your husband.

What would make you think that?

Well, I saw you two at the drop-off line

and Anika said he was saying thank you to some pretty lady.

[laughs]

Okay. So you think because your husband has good taste

he's sleeping with me?

Girl, don't be cute.

I'm sorry. I can't help it.

Yeah, okay.

Okay, well let me ask you a question.

What makes you think that a woman who looks like me

is really interested in a middle-aged professor?

I'm gonna need you to stretch before you reach.

You might pull something. Okay?

I mean, you are a little yoga instructor.

Stay here.

Just wait.

[tense music]

See this man? This is my husband.

And if you think this picture's beautiful,

you should see him in real life. It's like God chiseled him.

I wake up every day lucky that

as beautiful as he is on the outside,

he's even more beautiful on the inside.

And your husband, as nice of a man as he is,

I'm sorry but... he wouldn't even stand a chance.

I wish you would have told me this when you first came in.

It would have saved both of us a lot of time.

I think you're just being a little insecure.

Girl, you don't know me.

-Just open this box. -Why?

You are so suspicious. It's for your husband.

He asked me to think of special places to take you in Italy.

My husband was stationed there for years.

He knows the region.

So we put this together for you guys.

He kept talking about how excited he was

that you guys were finally getting to go on vacation,

how he wanted to make it so special.

He kept saying how much he loved you.

I really feel sorry for you.

I could see so much love in that man's eyes,

and you're here thinking he's cheating on you?

With me?

I'll hold a special space for your healing.

Fuck your space.

Girl, you should really try this yoga.

Thank you.

Never come back.

[sighs] [door slams]

And she slams the door.

Naomi!

-Naomi! -I'll go check upstairs.

-All right. -Okay.

[sighs] Oh, my God. Where is this girl?

[line trilling]

[Naomi's Voicemail] You've reached Naomi Price.

Leave a message.

Girl, where are you?

We're looking for you. Call me back.

-No sign of her? -She's not here.

She's still not answering her phone.

[sighs]

No.

Can you call Geneva and ask her?

Have you tried calling her?

She went off on me.

Why?

Just call her.

Maybe she knows something.

That's weird. Okay.

[phone vibrates and rings]

-Hey. -Hey.

Um, have you talked to Naomi?

-No. -[Rasheda] Okay.

Have you tried calling her?

Not since this morning.

Well, we can't find her anywhere, so...

All right. I'll try calling her again.

All right. Where are you at right now?

I'm headed into the office now.

Um, want to meet for lunch at Coleman's?

Okay, good.

Actually, I need to talk to you, so that's perfect.

I'm sure you do. Okay.

Um, well, I'm headed your way.

-All right. See ya. -Okay. See you soon.

All right. Let's go.

Where are we going?

We're going for lunch at Coleman's.

Don't you want to know what she did?

No, 'cause we'll talk about it when we get there.

Okay. Great.

Let's go.

[phone vibrates and rings]

-[Rasheda] This is weird. -[Tiffany] Oh, hold on.

-Naomi's calling me. -Put it on speakerphone.

Naomi.

[Naomi] You know I can see y'all at my door.

You bitches gonna leave my keys.

Uh... okay.

Can you tell us where you are?

We're waiting for you.

[Naomi] I'm on a plane about to fly out of town.

What?

[Naomi] I have to go check on Grayson at college.

-Are you kidding me right now? -[Naomi] No, Tiffany.

What's going on with Grayson?

[Naomi] I just had to make sure he was okay.

Mm. Why are you lying, Naomi?

[Naomi] Y'all can hold it down. I'll be back next week.

Next week?

You were supposed to see the judge today.

[Naomi] I know that, Tiffany.

You're making this worse, Naomi.

-Your bail got revoked, Naomi. -[Naomi] Hold up.

Are you serious?

You are making this so much worse.

-Mm-hmm. -[Naomi] Uh, okay.

Well, that'll just have to wait till I get back.

Do you have any idea how serious this is?

-[Naomi] Of course, Rasheda. -No,

you actually don't, because me and Javon were waiting for you

-at the jail all day. -[Naomi] Yes, I know.

And so is my son.

So have Javon tell the judge that.

I love y'all, and I'll hit y'all when I get back.

[hang-up beeps]

Hello? Hello?

-Naomi? -Okay, this girl.

-She's doing it. -She's out of her mind.

I'm gonna have to agree with you.

Let's go.

She told me to leave these keys. Should I...

Yeah, just leave them. I don't know.

-All right. -Hey, I'm done.

I cannot...

[smooth hip-hop music]

-Hi. -Hey.

Oh, shit.

Well, hi to you, too.

-I'm gonna go back to work. -No, no, no.

You told Rasheda you had time.

And Rasheda didn't tell me that you'd be here.

We've been friends for way too long,

and I thought we all needed to talk.

-Rasheda... -Sit.

So it's like that?

-Yeah, it's like that. -Okay, look.

I am sorry I did not call about Anika,

but Javon told me that you would probably...

But Javon. But Javon.

Do you hear yourself?

So you're just gonna listen to everything that he says.

What are you talking about? I just met him.

That's exactly my point.

And what were your hands doing

that you were so busy that you couldn't call?

-Rasheda, are you hearing this? -I am.

-Enlighten me. -Okay.

Well, you know, I really didn't

want to believe what he was saying,

but after that comment right there...

What?

He said you were jealous of me.

[laughs] Jealous?

Me? Jealous of you?

-Laughable. -Yep.

What exactly did he say?

He said exactly that you were jealous

of me because I met somebody new.

Baby, I'm not worried because I have a husband.

Yeah. I know.

Yeah, and you had one, too, at one point.

Yeah, he was a bartender.

Okay, and you're saying that to say what?

That he wasn't successful, and that was fine.

Just go ahead and let him brainwash you, okay?

Okay, yeah.

No, what I'm gonna let him do is give me his thoughts

on how you were behaving,

and then I'm gonna run through my mind all the reasons why you

could be acting like this because I can't figure it out.

Can you believe this, Rasheda?

-Listen to what he has to say. -She didn't say that.

Exactly. Because I'm not jealous of you.

-[Tiffany] Oh. -I'm not now.

Never have been. Okay?

Okay. Okay.

So then what was it?

Because you walked up, saw us hugging, lost it.

You just met him.

I know. Why is that your problem?

[tense music]

You know what? You're right.

It's not my problem.

You're really acting like it is.

Rasheda, can you please say something?

I think you both need to be honest with each other.

Oh, I am being honest. She's not.

Well, you know, honestly,

I'm gonna leave you guys on this little lunch date, okay?

Because my daughter's sick, okay?

Oh, so now you care about your daughter.

Tiffany.

I'm sorry. I'm sorry.

No. No.

I'm sorry. I'm sorry.

No. You said what you meant.

I didn't mean that.

Fuck you.

Geneva, calm down.

I'm sorry about that.

No. I'm sorry.

I didn't know it was that bad.

What am I missing, Rasheda?

All of a sudden, she just started

acting crazy.

I can't go to Italy with them.

What?

Yeah, Javon asked me to go on their trip, so...

I see.

I'm not going.

So why don't we just...

-Let's try eating. -Hey, wait.

What are you not telling me?

Tiffany.

You know something, and you're keeping me in the dark.

You know what?

I am...

not hungry.

Tiffany, please.

Why's everybody mad at me?

This is not First Lady Coochie Business.

This is not First Lady Coochie Business.

[knocking on door]

Come in.

Hey! Javon!

-I called you. -[Andrew] Yeah.

And, um...

I was just about to call you back, man.

Okay.

I was looking at the house across the street.

-I saw your car in the driveway. -Yeah.

Okay. Cool, cool.

How you doing?

Uh, yeah.

I'm okay.

-Yeah? -[Andrew] Mm-hmm.

You don't look okay.

-Just got a lot on my mind. -[Javon] Mm.

Yeah.

Anything I can help you with?

Nope. I'm fine.

How's Anika?

Good. Good.

She's upstairs resting with Sarah.

-Sarah? -That's the nanny.

Oh. Right, right.

-You want a drink? -Um...

A little early for a drink.

But someone already got started.

-Ah, it's one of them days. -Mm.

Well, if I didn't have a meeting in a little bit,

-I would indulge. -All right.

More for me.

So, uh...

You gonna buy the house?

Yeah. We will be neighbors.

-[chuckles] -If they accept the offer.

Ah, good.

I never liked the Pine family that lived over there.

[Javon] Mm-hmm.

That means I guess I'll have to have the pastor

and Rasheda come over and bless the house.

-That's a good idea. -[Javon] Yeah.

Might have them come over here and pray over you.

-Over me? -[Javon] Yeah.

Seem a little heavy, my brother.

No, it's just, um...

Hmph. Yeah.

Hey, did you hear what the doctor said last night?

No. No.

I was just out of earshot.

Yeah. Yeah.

What's going on?

-Nothing. -Is Anika okay?

Yeah. Yeah.

-Come on, man. -What?

-You can tell me. -No.

Nothing to tell you, man. I'm...

I'm fine.

Well, you know I'm here for you if you need me.

Yeah. I know that.

-[Javon] Okay. -Appreciate it.

[Javon] Mm-hmm.

Did Geneva like that steak yesterday?

She did. She said it was juicy.

Mm-hmm. I am a man of the meats.

I can teach you how to cook another one if you want.

Nah. I'm going to dinner tonight.

-Really? -[Javon] Mm-hmm.

Huh.

Whereabouts?

-Uh, Coleman's. -[Javon] Coleman's.

That's good.

Yeah. Not good.

We actually, uh...

Oh, man, we are meeting Pastor Jefferson, First Lady.

They're gonna try to help us work through a few things, so...

Uh...

I don't think you need that.

-Really? -You guys are solid, man.

Yeah. I appreciate that.

I do.

You know I'm here for you if you ever need me, right?

-Yes, I do. -Okay.

Thank you.

Say, you think it'd be okay if I, uh...

-peeked in on Anika? -Yeah.

Absolutely.

You can never have too much prayer over a child.

You're right. Come on.

All right.

Let's go.

Appreciate you, man.

-I got you, brother. -Yeah.

Mm...

[Geneva sighs]

-What the hell was that? -What?

Is that what she thinks? Huh?

That I'm a bad mom?

-Is that what you all think? -That's not what we think.

Just because I don't do the drop-offs and the pick-ups

and William gets everything for her,

-is that what y'all think? -No! It's not what we think.

-Geneva. -So why would she say that?

-Because she's hurt. -Whatever.

The same way you're hurt.

Oh, she is not hurting me.

But he is.

You know, Rasheda...

Now is not the time to preach to me, okay?

I'm not trying to do that.

But I'll say this.

Javon is the devil.

He has put me and you in a horrible position.

And the nerve of him to say you're jealous?

I am not jealous.

You are jealous.

I'm not.

You are.

He just came out and said it.

But the fact that he's trying

to drive you and Tiffany apart...

And what's this about him going with y'all to Italy?

What's... That's creepy.

All right? Look, that man is the devil.

And I feel like my hands are tied because you told me

everything in confidence. But I don't like this.

Sheda, you don't know that man like I know him.

But I get it. I don't like it either.

You need to regulate.

Get him together.

Since you're the all-knowing, what do I do?

I already told you.

Be honest.

You have to tell William.

Rasheda...

I can't do that.

All right, fine.

Keep on lying.

And allowing all this craziness to go on.

I'm just not ready.

How much time do you need? Huh?

When are you going to just come out with it?

Rasheda, you know me.

You know I don't like these high-pressure situations.

And neither do I.

But Tiffany is my friend.

And as long as she is dating this psycho,

then it's only going to get worse.

You have to tell him.

I know.

I know.

By the way...

...William asked if me

and Jeff could join you guys for dinner tonight.

Uh!

I know.

He wants us to be there.

He met with Jeff earlier.

You know if he finds this out,

my life is over, right?

Girl, you are so dramatic.

Your life is not over. Okay?

It happened six years ago.

And it only happened once.

It's not going to happen again, right?

No.

Okay, well then just tell him that.

Tell him you got weak.

But you need to tell him.

Rasheda, I can't. I can't.

I'm sorry. I'm just...

I'm just not ready. Okay?

Okay.

So what are you going to do?

I can't do anything.

You told me everything in confidence.

My hands are tied.

Just know, this is eating me alive.

I know. I'm sorry.

Sir?

Yeah.

I've got your dinner set up tonight at 8pm at Coleman's.

Perfect. Thank you.

[Myron] Sure.

Is there anything else?

No.

Cool.

Yes.

-Actually, there is. -Okay.

I don't want what has happened to come between us.

[Jefferson] Mm-hmm.

I mean, you're like one of my...

Well, my best friend.

I'm your boss.

I know that.

I'm not your best friend.

I know, Pastor, but...

It felt like that before.

See, I didn't know you had feelings for me.

But now that I do, this dynamic?

Strictly business. Okay?

-I understand. -Are you sure?

Yes.

There won't be any more late night chats on flights.

And in hotels when I'm traveling to preach.

-Okay? -Yes, sir.

Matter of fact, I want you

to fly separately and meet me there.

I'll have someone else do the handoff here.

-Okay? -Yes, sir.

Look, I totally get it. Okay?

I'm sorry.

[Jefferson] This is the last thing I'm gonna say.

Stop saying "I'm sorry" and just do your damn job.

Thank you.

-You ready, babe? -[Jefferson] Yeah.

I am. Let's do it.

See you later, Myron.

See you later, First Lady.

Thank you.

[tense music]

[Myron crying softly]

-Myron? -[tearfully] Yeah?

What's wrong?

[Myron] Nothing.

Don't tell me nothing. Boy, you clearly upset.

I just hate that I screwed up.

Myron, you're going to have to let this go.

Yeah, I get it.

No, I mean now.

Just move on.

If you attracted to him, it's all right. Let it go.

He's forgotten about it, Rasheda's forgotten about it.

-Leave it alone. -[Denise] I'm sorry?

Honey?

Oh, god.
