You are a fighter. There is no way you will let

somebody hurt you and get away with it.

Previously onSistas...

Go be with your friend. I completely understand.

It's actually my ex-girlfriend.

- We don't know who she is. - Who am I?

I'm Sabrina's mother.

Maybe we can keep this between us for the time being.

Everything seems to be in order.

Of course.

Your friends need to hurry because we're on the clock.

You can wait a few more minutes for the people

who actually know her and love her

so they can say goodbye.

Danni, what is going on with Sabrina?

They're moving her to New York.

Moving her?

New York?

They can't do that.

Apparently they can and they are.

Well, well, how can they do that?

Why are they doing that, and who is responsible for it?

Babe, babe. You're on fire.

Just let them answer. Just breathe.

Her mother.

Her what?

What's going on?

They asked us to step out

so they could prep her for transport.

I can't believe this is really happening.

I don't know, man.

Something don't feel right about this.

Danni.

So, um,

you're really going to take Sabrina

because you're ready to clear

your conscience and be a mother now?

It is the best hospital for someone in her condition.

Yeah, so I'm not talking to you.

Danni, there's nothing we can do.

The paperwork checks out.

So this woman, this complete stranger,

doesn't know her daughter from a can of paint,

gets to walk in here in all her designer shit,

claiming, "I'm her mother.

And I want to be there for her in her time of need."

I am her mother. And I do.

Bitch, where were you all the other times she needed you?

First of all, I'm nobody's bitch.

Where were you when she got

thrown in jail for something she didn't do?

I, I didn't know. I left when--

Where were you when she was being molested as a child?

C'mon, Danni.

- What? - See?

A good mother would know that.

- How would I have known? - How would you have known?

If you were actually there for your daughter,

you know, checked in on her.

Hell, you probably could have even prevented it.

You don't know that.

- Danni... - No...

- Let this go. - No, no, no, no, no.

She gets to come in here acting like the Great Black Hope.

You want kudos from me?

You're not getting any.

And if Sabrina were awake,

she'd tell you where to go and how to get there.

Okay, come on, Danni...

Ms. Hollins is ready for transport.

Good.

'Cause I can't take any more of these... attacks

from Sabrina's so-called friends.

Let me tell you something.

We are not so-called friends. We are her friends.

And we love her more than you do.

I carried her.

I labored 18 hours to birth her.

She's my child.

And it took you her entire life to figure that out?

Danni, come on.

And what about her apartment? And other personal business?

My lawyers are handling all of that.

I just want to focus on Sabrina.

And they're taking care of closing out her life here.

I can't believe this shit.

Look, guys.

I've been researching the hospital since we got here.

Honestly, it seems like Sabrina's best chance.

If that's any consolation.

Thanks, Fatima.

Yeah.

Danni?

Danni, we have to go say goodbye.

I can't.

We have to.

- We have to. - We need to.

Thank you... for being such good friends to Sabrina.

Could you, um...

Could you please keep us updated on her progress?

- Of course. - Thank you.

Here's my business card.

I promise I'll keep you guys all updated.

He was found in his apartment badly beaten.

The police were asked to do a wellness check

when he didn't show up to take his mother to

a dental appointment.

He appears to be severely concussed.

What happened to him?

♪ My girls hold me down when them boys mess around ♪

♪ When my love life is a headache ♪

♪ We're goin' out tonight 'cause I'm lookin' for love ♪

Oh, thank you, babe.

Oh, man.

I'm not even looking at the couch.

- I need to take a shower. - All right.

Well, I'm about to get something to eat.

- You want anything? - Uh...

No, I'm not even hungry.

It has been one crazy week.

Yes, it has.

All right, babe.

I love you. I'll be up soon.

Hey, you know that little situation

we handled?

Yeah, that one.

I think he needs a reminder.

Yeah, he locked eyes on me and I don't like it.

All right. Thanks.

- Hey, Sister. - Hey.

Where you been?

The hospital.

You okay?

Sabrina's mother moved her to a hospital in New York.

Why are you so upset? That's her moms.

She's a stranger who took over everything.

But she didn't have nobody here.

Cheyenne, she had friends who love her.

Who know her.

Who've been with her through thick and thin.

But y'all aren't blood.

Cheyenne, you may not understand this,

but I've known Sabrina since college.

She's my friend.

You don't get it.

I have a special bond with my sisters.

Right.

And here I am, your actual sister.

I wish you would put that much effort into our relationship.

Hey.

Hey.

Was everything okay?

I'm just feeling a little numb right now.

From circumstances or from alcohol?

Probably both, to be honest.

But I'm a few ahead of you.

Hm. Yeah, I can see that.

What happened to your friend, Rich?

Her mother came in out of nowhere and just moved her

to Langone Hospital in New York.

- That's a good hospital. - I know it's for the best.

I can tell that you really care about her.

All of this because of the freak car accident

that landed her in a coma.

Hm.

You know, I, I... Yeah, I'm sorry.

I'm just trying to, um...

...navigate through these, uh, feelings.

What do you mean?

I'm happy that she's getting the care

that she needs.

But...

I'm sad that we never really got the chance

to clear the air.

I get that.

Unresolved issues can torment the soul.

You just gotta do everything that you can

to make sure that that doesn't happen.

I wish I knew how.

What?

Uh, nothing, nothing. Your, um...

Your energy,

it reminds me of a friend of mine who just left Atlanta.

- Another one. - Okay, DJ Khaled.

No, seriously. She, um...

She's in London with her boyfriend.

I see.

I'm also friends with her brother.

So when I say your energy reminds me of her,

she was just easy to talk to.

Well, I'm glad you can talk to me.

And I'm glad I can be here for you.

I really appreciate that.

Of course.

Look, I... I know this has to feel a little weird.

Me talking about all this considering

we're supposed to get to know each other.

No, I don't think it's weird.

I think everybody needs somebody to talk to.

And like I said, I am happy that I can be here for you.

Hi. Uh, could I get an old fashioned, please?

Hold up. Old fashioned?

Ooh, I'm scared of you...

Here you go.

Ooh, thank you.

Baby?

I know that you're upset.

But it's probably for the best.

I know.

It's just that Sabrina and I have gone through

so much together.

Difficult to think that I can't just...

go over and check up on her or call her like I used to.

Oh, hon.

I mean, who's gonna... do exfoliation scrubs?

I know she over there, ashin'.

Low moisture.

Like Fatima said, you know, that hospital in New York

is probably the best place for her to be right now.

Mm, I guess.

It's just odd to me that this lady

from nowhere would come up

and say that she's Sabrina's mother.

Well, Andi checked her paperwork.

Her claim seems legit.

Mm-hmm. Well, why now?

I did hear her say that the social worker contacted her.

Whatever, Dylan.

If the mama had all this money,

to airlift her, to take her to a specialty hospital,

then why wait until somebody calls you

- to check on your daughter? - Sabrina never mentioned her?

- No. - Ever?

Mm-mm.

She never wanted to talk about how

her grandmother had to raise her because her mama left her.

I mean, she loved her grandmother, but...

I don't know.

I mean, I get why a child would not understand,

you know, why a mother would choose to walk away.

Exactly.

Not again. Ow!

One, two, three, four, five. Dummy.

And why are you still there anyway?

I forgot something.

Thank y--

She really couldn't remember that?

She can't remember her head if it wasn't glued to her body.

You want to go to bed?

- Always. - Mm-hmm.

Talk to me.

I don't even feel like talking.

Is it about Sabrina?

No, it's more about what Danni going through.

- You know? - Yeah.

I get it.

Andi car blowing up right outside.

Right.

I look at you carrying our baby,

and I feel like I can't protect you.

Zac, I told you, I don't need protection.

Fatima, you always say that.

But every man just wants to make sure that his family is safe.

Like, my father dropped the ball on that shit, man.

What?

Nothing.

Nah, I know that look.

Zac, it's just a lot you need to know about this situation.

A lot like what?

You say that like you know something I don't.

No, not really.

What was you and Mr. Keyes arguing about?

We weren't arguing.

Fatima, c'mon.

It's been a long day.

We're all stressed out about everything that's going on.

I just want to make sure that he's doing right by you.

That's it.

Right by me? What does that even mean?

By telling you what you need to know.

I don't want to know anything about my father.

He already knows that.

Look, Zac, I don't trust the man,

- and that hasn't changed. - Fine.

I don't... I don't even care no more.

I don't want to be lied to by anybody anyway.

With that said...

there is something I need to tell you.

About Mr. Keyes?

- Hey. - Hey.

Rich called me.

You okay?

No.

Come here.

So what can I do?

Bring my friend back.

Make it where the accident

never even happened in the first place.

In the never-ending nightmare that is my life.

I'm sorry, baby.

And I blew up on that lady.

I heard.

I know she was just trying to help,

but she's a complete stranger.

Sabrina wouldn't even know her from a paint can.

And now she gets to just take her and move her.

Wow.

It's not right.

No. Not him.

Okay. Then what do you got to tell me?

I did something, but Zac, you're gonna be upset.

What?

I found the person that blew up Andi's car.

Okay. Why would I be upset about that?

But I also paid him a visit.

Look, look, Zac, I just went to confront him.

Do you know how dangerous that was, Fatima?

Zac, I had backup, okay?

Back--

Fatima, what did you do?

I just had some guys rough him up

for what he did to Andi. That's it.

Why would you put yourself in danger like--

Zac, I needed to prove a point.

Okay.

So these dudes that you took, they just...

They just, just touched him a little bit.

Oh, wow. They just...

Okay. Okay.

Look, Zac, I...

I needed to let him and Dr. Cruise know

that we are not to be-- with.

Why would you do that?

When was this?

Last night.

Last night. Last night.

So last night when you told me

you was with Andi at the office last night?

Yeah.

So we lying to each other now?

Zac, I knew you would try to stop me.

Yes, I would! I would have!

- Yes, I would have. - I just needed to send them

a message the same way they sent Andi one.

That's it.

You are not Andi's-- bodyguard, Fatima!

Zac, it was only a matter of time

before they came after us!

Fatima, you don't know that.

Zac, they blew up a-- car in front of our house.

How can you say that?

I'm glad that you called.

I'm glad that you answered.

Of course.

You know, it's a bit annoying.

You know, my friends, they don't really, uh...

They don't really understand why

I'm so damn upset about her being moved.

What do you mean? Not that I think that

your friends need to understand your feelings, but...

Look, Sabrina and I were broken up.

And then she caught me having sex with someone else.

After you broke up?

Yeah. Yeah.

Okay, well, if you guys

weren't together, then what was the problem?

We'd only been broken up for a day.

You move fast.

No, no, no. It's not like that.

Remember the friend I told you about?

- The one from London? - Yeah.

Yeah?

It was with her.

Your buddy?

Look, it's not like that.

She was trying to comfort me. Things took a turn.

It meant nothing to both of us.

Rich, rarely is a woman gonna give up her cookie,

and it mean absolutely nothing

unless that's what she does for a living.

- Come on. - No, seriously.

It was just a moment that came and went.

But your girl wasn't buying that.

Nah.

Nah, she, um...

She thought we'd been messing around the whole time.

I can follow her train of logic, Rich.

Wait a minute. I thought you were on my side.

This is not about sides.

I am following the breadcrumbs that lead to the inevitable.

It didn't mean anything.

It was just a tender moment between friends that...

Sabrina happened on when she popped up unexpectedly.

Men don't have tender moments. Men--, okay?

I'm sorry.

Maybe it's the alcohol, but come on.

- Seriously? - Damn.

- You being for real? - Yes.

Look, no. You know what?

No. Mm-mm.

- I don't agree with you at all. - Okay.

But, respectfully, you entitled to your own opinion.

Albeit your own.

You know what?

- It's getting late. - It is getting late.

How about I give you a ride home?

- No, I'm okay. - Please.

I couldn't live with myself if another woman

I cared about got in a car accident.

You care.

We're collaborators, friends.

- Of course I care. - No, seriously.

I'm okay. I'm good.

Okay.

Mm.

Uh, no.

- Your money's no good here. - I can pay for my own alcohol.

Matter of fact, I got yours, too.

Okay.

It's the least that I can do after all those healthy,

not-so-healthy drinks that you've been comping me.

Yes, ma'am.

Come on, Zac. Get back in bed, please.

I'm so mad at you right now.

Zac, I'm fine, okay? Everything turned out okay.

That's not the point.

You put yourself and our child in danger.

How could you say you fine or okay?

Zac, it's fine.

Look, I'm good. We're good.

This time.

This time it's good.

Were you trying to prove a point?

To who? Luther and Dr. Cruise?

No, to me.

That you don't need me. That you don't need protection.

No, Zac. It's not like that.

- No. - But it is, though.

Zac, I just...

I just did what I thought needed to be done.

See, that's your problem, yo.

You need to get your mind right.

You can't be out here going around like you by yourself.

- You're not like that no more. - Me?

Are you hearing yourself?

You act like every time you're not furious,

the first thing that's on your mind

is getting your lick back.

Fatima, I'm not carrying a baby.

Zac.

No, what if he pulled a gun out on you?

- Then what? - Zac, he didn't, okay?

You know I always keep mine on me.

Okay, my fault, Stagecoach Mary.

This ain't the-- Wild Wild West, Fatima!

Zac, just get in bed.

No, I'm not getting in the bed, man!

What if something would have happened to you?!

God!

Hey, beautiful.

Hi, Reginald. How are you?

Good. I was just about to call you.

I'm right outside Sabrina's room, and, um...

Her mother moved her to Langone Hospital.

- In New York? - Yeah.

Look, are you okay?

I'm trying to be.

I'm so sorry.

I know this is stressful for you.

I mean, tell me, is there anything I can do to help?

Could you maybe come over after your shift?

Yeah, I can...

I can do that.

If you're sure that's what you want.

I'm sure.

Okay. I'll be there.

It just might be a little early in the morning because,

uh, you know, I don't know what kind of cases are coming in.

I don't care.

Great. Well, I'll see you in a bit.

I'm looking forward to it.

I just... I need to be held.

Luckily for you, I'm pretty good at that.

I'll call you when I'm on the way.

I'll see you soon.

I remember this.

Yeah.

This is Marcus.

Yeah, I need you to do me a favor.

I'm sorry.

No, it's okay.

I didn't mean to wake you.

It's okay.

Well, look, I can go.

I just, um, wanted to stop by and check on you.

I know it's probably difficult

to be in here after everything, so...

Hey, let's just deal with one thing at a time, okay?

Okay.

How about this?

You go to the bed, lay down, get some rest.

You know, it's been a rough couple weeks.

I'll stay right here on the sofa.

That way I'm here, just in case.

If you're gonna stay, just sleep in the bed.

- Danni, I... - I mean, you're a big guy.

I feel bad. This is a really shitty couch.

Don't worry about me. I'll be all right.

It's all good.

Hey, maybe...

Maybe I just want you to sleep next to me again.

I don't sleep as well when you're not next to me.

You can just stay until I fall asleep.

Okay. Okay, I can do that.

I don't mind. Okay?

Okay.

I'm gonna, um...

I'm just gonna go get changed for bed.

Actually, I think, um, there's a pair of your pants

somewhere around here.

- Okay. - Okay.

Babe, come on. Come back to bed, please.

Fatima, please don't--

Please get on your side of the bed. Please.

Are you seriously gonna do me like that?

Yes, I am. I'm mad as hell.

Like, I can't even lie.

Zac, I... Baby, I just...

I saw an opportunity and I took it.

That's... You still don't get it.

You're not by yourself anymore.

We're supposed to be a team, right?

Right?

- Yeah. - Okay,

so you see an opportunity.

You're supposed to call me.

We're supposed to make those decisions together.

You see something, I'm supposed

to be there with you, not you by yourself.

All right.

- Zac, I just-- - No, there's no just!

You can't keep doing this thing. This is emastubating, yo.

I think you meant emasculating.

Whatever. You know what I mean.

Babe, I just... I'm sorry.

I just did what I thought needed to be done.

You gotta promise me that you're not gonna do

- no shit like this ever again. - Zac--

I'm serious, Fatima. I'm not playing.

- Zac... - No, you...

No, I'm dead serious. You gotta promise me.

Hold up.

That's you?

That's me.

Damn, what, you rob a bank or something?

Besides coming from a family of some means,

I've done pretty well for myself.

Wow, you are full of surprises.

I guess so.

Look, I really do hope that everything turns out

all right for your lady friend.

Yeah, me too.

Maybe...

Maybe when she wakes up, you guys can try again.

Nah.

Sabrina wanted to have kids, and I can't give it to her.

So it was never gonna work out.

You know, I see that now.

I don't really understand.

Well, I mean, at first, I didn't want to have kids.

Point blank, period.

I understand that.

The world's a pretty---up place.

Right.

You know, she wanted to, um...

freeze her eggs, and I wasn't with that at first.

Okay. But then?

I changed my mind.

You know, to be there for her and be all in.

And that's when I found out I got sickle cell trait.

Oh. My God.

Yeah, so...

pretty much everything went downhill from there.

I'm sorry.

I'm good. You know, um...

Unfortunately, any, uh, children I father

have the chance of carrying that disease.

Understood.

Things just got real messy, and...

we grew apart.

And she ended things.

Sounds like everything just got too complicated.

Yeah. You can say that.

But the feelings were there.

Just... I guess the timing was bad.

Maybe another lifetime.

Yeah.

Thank you for being in here.

No problem. Just wait till you get

that little therapy bill, though.

Hey, I mean, you're a great listener,

so it'll be worth every dime.

I'll see you later.

Yeah, you will.

Get home safe.

Thank you. I will.

You too.

Hey.

When you get home, can you

please text me to let me know you got home safe?

I can do that.

I appreciate that.

Good night.

- Zac, I just... - Promise me, Fatima!

I know your word is your bond.

If you don't promise me, then I...

Baby, I...

What if something happens to you?

Baby...

Promise me.

I promise. I promise.

Thank you.

Can we please just go to bed now?

No. I'm still pissed, man.

- Go to your side of the bed. - Babe, please.

Come on. I'm sorry.

I'm sorry.

Please.

All right.

- Gangsta boo head ass, come on. - Thank you.

Thank you.

Hey.

Oh my God...

Hey.

Hey, Danni.

Danni, what is it? What's happening?

Nothing, nothing.

Hey, talk to me.

- My mind just went to, um... - To what almost happened to you?

- Mm-hmm. - Okay.

- Do you want me to go? - No, no, no.

Okay.

Hey, look, let's just...

Let's just get some rest, all right?

I know it's been a rough couple weeks for you.

All right? Come on.

Come lay down.

Come here.

I got you. I got you.

Hey, I appreciate you, you know, making house calls.

Yeah, for sure. Anything for you.

So what all can you get?

Girl, I'll get you whatever you need.

- It's like that? - Hell yeah, it's like that.

I'm well connected out here, you feel me?

It's good to know.

One-stop shop.

I can pretty much handle anything you need,

but I'm glad I could bring you what you needed.

Good to know. But you do need to get going

because my roommate's about to wake up,

and she's not about that life.

Damn.

You just gonna kick a brother out like that?

Just like that. And keep your voice down.

My fault.

I mean, it's just that you're so beautiful, you know?

So maybe I don't want to go.

But you need to.

Maybe we can hang out longer next time.

Or maybe I'll stay.

'Cause like I said, I really don't want to go.

Yes, please, send him up.

Oh, my gosh.

What the hell is going on?

I should be asking you that.

- Who is this, Cheyenne? - Hey, what's up, home--

Nobody.

What?

Everything okay?

No.

Oh, you're that doctor from the other night.

And you're Andi's little sister.

Wait, sister? You said this was your roommate.

Roommate? You wish.

This is my penthouse. Get out.

- No, I ain't mean it like that. - Get out.

Told you.

You heard the lady.

And who are you supposed to be?

Somebody who was invited here.

So the question is, who are you?

- Get your man. - No.

Sir, the lady asked that you leave.

Why are you trying to sound like the police, brother?

Oh, what I'm trying to do is just not whoop your ass.

Yeah, I wouldn't do that, my boy.

You really don't know who you're messing with.

Please, enlighten me.

Shorty, this dude about to really find out.

You know who's gonna find out?

Security. I will call security.

Would you like to be escorted out?

There's no need for that.

Cheyenne, I told you about having people in my place.

You are barely here on a wing and a prayer.

- Please leave. - You sure?

Do you want to be escorted out?

Nah.

- Get out. - I'm going.

- Hey, but I'll be back. - OK, not now.

When you come back, I'm gonna have something waiting for you.

Tough guy. I like that energy.

Shorty, I'm going to holler at you, all right?

Yeah.

Oh, yo.

It's a nice place you got here.

You got a lot of good shit.

Good taste.

Good-ass taste.

What does that mean?

Cheyenne, I told you about having people in my home.

And when you get your home,

you are free to have whatever lowlife you want.

But until then, this is my penthouse,

my place, my stuff, mine.

Do you understand me?

No food deliveries, no visitors, no nothing.

Are we clear?

Whatever.

Oh, and guess what?

I am going to reach out to security to make sure

that I can only approve the people that come up here.

You understand?

You're done.

Good night.

So he must've put it down, huh?

Oh, girl, he had me hittin' notes

I didn't even know I could hit.

♪ Mi, mi, mi, mi, mi! ♪

Next onSistas...

Was Officer Green the man who almost raped you?

All she has to do is admit it to me,

and then I can do something about it.

Don't let the guilt get you caught up in the shoulda,

woulda, coulda loop.

I heard my sister didn't buy her apartment.

Girl, everybody know Gary bought that.

Let's just say he "crazy" about her.

Who's Gary?

Ms. Barnes, funny running into you here.
