[Eddie] Previously on � Lincoln Heights:

When I was at the precinct today � I found out...

- ...we got the money! � - Ahh!

- What?! � - We're rich!

The precinct released it after � Charles confessed to finding it � in our attic.

Mrs. Hammond, Spencer Sutton, � my father.

Dorothy Hammond, the pastor's � widow and the heart and soul � of our church.

Lizzie's right, � you'd make a fine pastor.

Fine is right.

This should take care of � chicken, fruit and trash bags.

- It's all on the list. � - Where's the church money?

- Gone. � - [Eddie] What do � you mean "gone"?!

I know you didn't � spend it on booze.

Figuring on killing � the son of a bitch � who murdered my wife.

You're nothing but a drunk, � Grandpa, and I wish you'd � just go away.

No. The fault was mine.

I didn't know about � your struggle with alcohol.

I gave you more � than you could handle.

And for that, � I apologize.

- Long lost brother and � his girlfriend. I'm Travis. � - How you doing?

I can't get over � that you love cars, too.

I wish you could stay � and help us work on the Jag.

So, who are you related to here?

- Me. � - He's yours?

Oh, no. � Charles is my nephew.

- [dog barking] � - [Eddie] Jenn, I don't think � you got any sleep last night.

That headache's not � going away, is it?

No. And its friend, sore throat, � decided to stop by.

All right, hand me the spatula. � You're going to bed.

Baby, I gotta go to the clinic.

Jenn, you're sick. � Now go put on your pajamas.

I'll bring you up � some tea in a few.

Now go.

You make an awful nurse, � you know that?

Morning, Dad.

- Where's Mom going? � - Back to bed. � She's staying home today.

- What's wrong? � - She's got the flu. � Nothing to worry about.

I didn't think Mom � could get sick.

We've all gotta pitch in � for a few days until � she feels better.

French toast is ready. � Any takers?

Dad, I really don't mind � helping with the cooking.

Great.

And I've got a project � for us to tackle, son.

Our new home theater system.

- Sweet. Where is it? � - In the box.

A few hours of labor � from the father and son � installation team this weekend,

- and it will be � rockin' the house. � - [doorbell rings]

Hooray Sutton! � A hundred thousand dollars?!

- What a blessing. � - It is.

You decide what you're � gonna do with it?

The community garden � could use some seed money.

And did you hear about � Mrs. Jenkins down on Wabash?

She lost her booth � in the salon.

Well, they was charging her � a fortune for the rent, anyway.

But you know she's got � them six grandkids.

And then, there's my poor � nephew, Ray-Ray.

[bell rings]

[chattering]

[Cassie] Berkeley's art program � is fantastic,

but the campus is so big. � It's like a big city.

- I'd get swallowed up there. � - Yeah. Think I would, too.

So what schools � are you applying to?

You know, the deadline for � most of these is January.

With my SAT scores, � I shouldn't be � applying anywhere.

You're retaking it � this weekend?

Yeah, hopefully I'll � do better this time, but...

...I don't know, � I mean,

I'll probably just go � wherever you go.

That's sweet.

But really, Charles, � don't you have a wish-list?

If I'm with you, � all my wishes � have been granted.

[doorbell rings]

Mrs. Parker, � what do you need now?

Hey, son. What's shakin'?

Dad? Hi. What...?

Are you OK?

Yeah, I'm fine. � Try to contain your joy.

It's been so long � since you paid us a visit. � I didn't know you were coming.

Surprise!

[chattering]

Travis?

[laughs] There you are. � How you been, man?

Wow. What are you doing here?

I came to see my bro. � Missed you.

I missed you, too. � How did you get here?

I drove the Jag down.

Oh! She's gorgeous now, � you gotta see her.

The parents went on this � business conference to Antigua.

So it seemed like a good time � to visit The Heights.

Does your dad know � that you're...

Here? Are you kidding me?

Wes and Grace would pee � their Prada if they found out.

So we gotta make � the most of this weekend.

I can give you keys � to the apartment � if you wanna hang out.

- My mom's in Hawaii. � - Oh, bro. You gotta � come with, dude.

You can miss � a couple of classes.

Who remembers what they learned � senior year anyway? Come on.

[woman] �� The city � never sleeps ��

�� You got to live � to your own beat ��

�� So easy come � and easy go ��

�� What is home? ��

[chorus vocalizing]

�� Home ����

[Spencer laughs] � You're gonna love this.

Mmm. This is delicious, � Grandpa.

I didn't know tofu � could taste this good.

Been trying out � some new foods lately.

- Part of my health kick. � - Give Dad some lessons � while you're here.

- Hi, Grandpa! � - Lizzie!

Ahh!

- How are you? � - Better now that you're home.

It's good to see � my girls again.

Hello, sir. Andrew Ortega. � Nice to meet you.

Grandpa, Andrew and I � work at the Outreach together.

He's been promising to give me � Spanish lessons. I decided to � finally take him up on it.

Don't you have � classes for that?

[scoffs]

[speaks Spanish]

No, Grandpa likes you.

It's just Grandpa's way � of saying hello.

So, how long � are you staying?

Till your dad gets sick of me. � So probably a couple of days.

But now that I'm clean � and sober,

I thought I'd drop in � on Dorothy Hammond,

to thank her for all the letters � she sent when I was in rehab.

Mrs. Hammond wrote to you?

Don't sound so shocked. � Those letters kept me going.

Grandpa, it... � it's... it's just...

She has a boyfriend.

- She has a boyfriend? � - Yeah.

Deacon Jones from church.

She didn't tell you, � Grandpa?

Well, that's all right.

I ain't scared � of no Deacon Jones.

He better be worried about � Spencer Sutton.

Yeah, Grandpa. � I say forget him. Go for it.

I don't know, Dad. � From what I hear,

Dorothy is pretty happy � with the Deacon.

- And he has God on his side. � - Thanks for your support, son.

- [door opens, closes] � - Hey, people? � What's up, Grandpa!

Hey, Grandson!

You made tofu, right?

Hold it right there, chief. � You're going the wrong way.

We got some � installation to do.

Our subwoofers beckon.

[sighs]

Dorothy, hi. � It's Spencer.

OK, first thing we need to do � is attach the subwoofer cable...

- [drilling] � - What are you doing?

- Putting the system together. � Isn't that what you want? � - I want to do this right.

You can't just haphazardly put � wires together and...

- drill holes in the wall. � - [Spencer] Eddie.

With all the money you got,

why can't you hire somebody to � come in and install it for you.

Yeah, why can't we do that?

Then we'd miss the fun � of doing it together.

Are we having fun yet?

Just give me the drill.

Tay, run down to The Rev,

and pick us up some of those � overpriced lattes.

- Sure thing. � - All right.

Boy, if you call this fun, � we gotta work on � your definition of a good time.

Two Lava Lattes, and one � chocolate Shake-Rattle & Roll.

- Thanks. � - Mm-hmm.

- Hey, is that � who I think it is? � - I don't know.

It does look like him, � though.

He's not supposed � to be here till tomorrow.

- Trey Songz is coming � here tomorrow?! � - Shh!

- I'll have a... � a black coffee. � - Sure.

I know what you're thinking. � I get it all the time.

But... no such luck.

Thanks. That should � take care of it.

You all have a good day.

It was him! I knew it!

[Cassie] Hey, Travis. � It's good to see you.

I wondered what happened � to Charles today.

I wanted to bring Travis � by to meet the Suttons,

since you guys are like � my second family.

Be careful what you wish for.

That means my dad gets � to set your curfew.

Yeah, Mr. Sutton's cool. � but he can be tough.

You gonna come hang with us? � Get in some trouble?

Trouble? � No, not tonight.

I gotta get a jump � on my college apps.

Right. I got the whole, � "Harvard Legacy," � thing going on,

I didn't bother � applying anywhere else.

Must be nice.

Yeah, unless you wanna � choose your school.

Thought I caught a whiff � of teenage boy. Hey, Charles?

- How are you? � - Hello, Mr. Sutton.

- This is my brother, � Travis Benjamin. � - Travis. Nice to meet you.

Hey, you a card man?

What's your game?

Hold 'Em, all the way, sir. � You?

What else is there?

Before I moved, � I used to have a cash game

with some cats down � on 18th and Troost Street.

Pinky, Zee, all of them.

Used to wipe 'em out � every night.

Charles what's up with you now? � You're skipping school?

Travis has never � been here before. � We wanted to hang out.

It was a one time thing. � Don't worry.

[Spencer laughing] � Yes, I did.

[door opens]

Hey, Mom, I brought you � something to eat.

Thank you, sweetie,

but I really could've � come downstairs.

Nope. We're under strict orders � to keep you in bed.

Mm-hmm. It's nice having � Grandpa here, isn't it?

You get a reprieve � from Sloppy Joe lasagna.

Kind of.

I just wish he wasn't trying � to date Mrs. Hammond.

I know that Grandpa � was hard to be around before,

but he is better now.

And everyone deserves � a second chance, right?

I guess. I mean, I remember � last time he was here,

he lied to us, and stole money � from the church to buy a gun.

I love Grandpa, but...

I love Mrs. Hammond too. I don't � want to see her get hurt.

[doorbell rings]

Hi, ladies.

- You remember Deacon Jones? � - Yes, how are you?

- Good evening, young ladies. � - Hi, Mrs. Hammond. � Deacon Jones.

Spencer, � I'm so glad you called.

I was looking forward � to seeing you.

Spencer, Deacon Jones.

The Deacon is, well...

...he's my fiancé.

[Lizzie] You're engaged? Wow.

Yes, I wanted you � to be the first to know.

Wow, that's... � Congratulations!

Did I hear we have � a bride-to-be in our midst?

- Congratulations. � - Oh, thank you.

Indeed. I plan to make an even � more honest woman out of her.

So, how are you, Eddie?

We, at the church, are thrilled � about your recent good fortune.

Thanks, Deacon. � Word does travel fast.

And when you decide � to make a cash dispensation,

please, keep the church in mind.

Benjamin, we did not � come here for that.

Please...

Oh, Grandpa.... � I'm sorry, I...

- I had no idea. � - We didn't know � how serious they were.

That's OK. � Don't worry about me.

Excuse me a minute.

[distant sirens]

I don't know about this, � Travis.

Hey, man. � You got any seats?

Spencer Sutton sent us down, � said we could catch a game here.

[man] Never heard of them.

Are Pinky and Zee � here tonight?

[man] Hold up.

[jazz music plays]

[man] You've been � holding out on me.

[man 2 laughs]

- Hey, boys. � - Come on in.

- Uh-oh. � - Lookit here.

You boys got money. � Let's take it.

Call the game, junior.

- Texas Hold 'Em. � - [cell phone rings]

[man] Hope you know � what you're doing.

- Deal me out. � - Right.

[man] All right, � let the man play.

[man 2] Come on, now.

- You know what I want. � - [cell phone beeps]

Hello?

Charles, this is Wes Benjamin.

- Is my son there? � - What do you mean?

Don't play dumb with me, � Charles. Is Travis there or not?

You have his number. � Call him?

I have been trying to call. � He's not answering.

[Charles] That's your problem.

Look, Charles, if you see � Travis, you tell him to � come home. Immediately.

I guess a son ought to do � what a father tells him.

Oh, that... that's right. � I'm... I'm not your son.

- I'm your nephew. � - [cell phone beeps]

All right.

Good luck, everybody.

Lady Luck, � bring Travis a Jack.

- [man] You gonna need it. � Damn! � - [all groan]

- [woman] Where'd that � come from? � - Wow. [chuckles]

- Look at that. Straight flush. � - [man] I don't believe that.

Hold on a second, junior. � You been down all night,

- and now you hit it big? � - [woman] The kid's � double dealing.

- I don't buy it. � You ain't that lucky. � - [man murmuring]

- [woman] Never trusted him. � - Hey guys let's just � forget about it, OK?

- Dude, you know how much � money this is? � - Travis!

No hard feelings, � all right?

- [man] Start walking, junior. � - [man 2] Yeah, go on.

[man 3] Yeah, keep moving. � Don't be coming back.

What the hell happened � in there?

- Did you cheat? � - I might have dealt � from the bottom.

You could've � got us killed.

- Oh, come on. � - This isn't � Santa Barbara, Travis.

You cheat around here, � you don't walk out,

you get wheeled out.

[glass shattering]

[Tay] Dad, I'm on my way home � from school right now,

but I'm gonna stop � by The Rev real quick.

Tay, you were supposed � to be home an hour ago.

I know, but Trey Songz is making � an appearance at The Rev,

and there's some � contest thing.

I signed up and I think � my name's about to be called.

I'll be home in half an hour.

Hey, there.

I baked some muffins since � your mom's out of commission.

- How's she doing? � - About the same.

It's hard keeping � her in bed.

Knowing her, I bet it is. � [sniffs]

- Something sure smells good. � - Oh, Grandpa's cooking.

[Dorothy] Really?

- [Spencer whistling] � - [Dorothy sniffing]

Well, Chef Sutton, I didn't know � you had such talent.

Hey, now, now. � Don't come closer. This is � a top secret creation here.

Spencer Sutton's � famous seafood gumbo.

[laughs] � Well, you haven't tasted

Dotty Hammond's � famous dirty rice.

Oh, well, I'd like to.

Can I help you?

Yeah, thanks.

- Lizzie! What is your... � - Shh!

- What? � - Look!

[Spencer] Don't be shy with � the cayenne. I like it spicy.

Oh, please. I can put more spice � in this pot than you can handle.

- Oh, you think so? � - Oh, I know so.

OK, now baby, you have no idea � how much spice I can handle.

Look at Mrs. Hammond.

- Can you believe this? � - [Cassie] She's like � a different person.

If they're having this much fun,

they need to be spending � more time together.

[indistinct chattering]

[woman] �� Oh, no, no ��

�� And now it's midnight � and I don't wanna be ��

�� Alone ��

�� Yeah ����

[crowd cheering]

Good job, little sis. � You got some pipes on you.

Don't push so hard.

It kinda wears your � voice out.

- But you did a good job � other than that. � - OK, thank you.

We're gonna see who's next. � We got...

Tay Sutton?

- Tay? � - I'm over here! Excuse me.

- [woman] Oh, he's good! � - [man] Go ahead, Tay.

- [Trey] You ready? � - Oh, yeah. I'm ready.

- You know how to do this? � - Yeah.

[sings I Need A Girl]

�� It gets lonely � in this business ��

�� Need a homey � who tha realest ��

�� Someone who wants � to find out ��

�� All that I have to give ��

�� Who can bring me � what is missin' ��

[audience cheers]

Jenn didn't eat much today.

- Yeah, I thought she'd be � on her feet now. � - [door closes]

Dad? Grandpa? Guess what? � I won the contest.

Tomorrow I get to spend � the day with Trey Songz. � How cool is that?!

- Oh, that's way cool, Tay. � - Yeah, that's great.

What's not cool? You telling me � you'd be home in a half hour,

and showing up two hours later.

- Do you know who this is? � - I don't need to know.

It may be hard to believe, � but there are more important � things in life

than chasing stars, � trying be famous.

- Like showing up � and keeping your word. � - [cell phone rings]

Trey Songz is sending a car � to pick me up at nine a.m. � tomorrow.

They want me � to confirm.

Dad, can I go?

When I get back � we can...

Just go.

I'll do the install myself.

[pop music plays]

�� Hot girls � in the California sun ��

[chattering]

Yo, dude...

Dude! You're making me � tired watching you � standing over there.

Come sit down. � Grab Tay a seat.

Thanks.

What's up? Could... � Could you excuse us, please?

Thank you.

- So what you think? � - It's pretty amazing.

[laughs] I guess for you, � it's just another day.

You don't seem as hyped � as you were yesterday.

[scoffs] No way. � I'm still hyped, trust me.

I just have a lot � on my mind.

Something's weighing on you, � huh?

I could tell. � What's up? Try me.

It's my dad, � he's mad at me.

We're supposed to be working � on this audio thing,

I kinda ditched him yesterday � to go to your contest.

- That's not cool, man. � - That's what he said.

That's real.

All this right here:

the girls, the bling, � the clothes...

It could be gone tomorrow.

Family is forever.

You lucky to have a dad who even � wants to spend time with you.

What were you all � supposed to be working on?

[cell phone rings]

[clears throat]

- Hey, Dad. � - [Wes] Travis, where are you?

I told you, I'm staying � with a friend in LA.

- For how long? � - I'll be home tomorrow night.

- I want you back now. � - Dad, please.

Don't start. I'm 17!

I don't need you � hanging on my back 24/7.

- Now you hold on... Travis! � - I gotta go.

- [Charles] You all right? � - I just need some air.

I'll catch you later, bro.

[door closes]

This is your last � freebie this week.

[door bells jingle]

Hola, Lizzie. � �Cómo estás?

Bien.

[speaks Spanish]

[mutters in Spanish]

Wait. Did you just � ask me out on a date?

Very good, Lizzie. � Your Spanish is improving.

So?

I would love to but � I've invited Mrs. Hammond � to my house tonight.

We're making care packages � for my brother's unit � in Afghanistan.

- Wanna help? � - Just let me know � what time to be there.

Hey. So how'd the SATs go?

I missed it.

You what?

I overslept.

- Because of Travis, right? � - He kept me out late.

Charles, you know � how important these SATs are.

I can sign up again.

If you cared about your future, � you would have taken them.

[sighs] I do care,

I do, but I don't know what � my future's going to be.

Charles, I don't know � what to tell you.

But I can't be with a guy � who has no direction.

Listen, I know I messed up.

And I know that I've been saying � I'm sorry a lot lately,

but the future is � important to me.

Especially my � future with you.

Good.

So you've started making � your college plans?

- Yep. � - Great. Where are you � going to go next year?

- [call waiting beeps] � - [sighs]

Cassie, can you hang on a sec?

Yeah. Sure.

Hello?

Hey, bro!

Stop what you're doing � and get here, man.

This place is ridiculous.

Where are you?

Twenty-Third and something.

I met a guy at a taco truck � who told me about this party.

It's been going on all day. � You gotta check it.

- Hold on. � - [phone beeps]

Cassie, I'm sorry. � Travis is at some party

in a sketchy part of town, � and I can't leave him there. � He's my brother.

- Hanging out is how you � look out for your future? � - That's not what I...

I'll talk to you later.

Cassie...

[Eddie] Hey, baby.

How's my little invalid?

I... I don't know � what's worse,

the cabin fever � or the real one.

- Sounds like somebody could � use another day at home. � - I guess.

You actually agree with me?

Oh, you really are sick.

Well, don't get used to it.

- You still have a fever. � - Mmm. Thank you, Dr. Sutton.

If you're not � feeling better soon, � I am calling a doctor.

Mm-hmm.

- [Jenn sighs] � - [doorbell rings]

[Lizzie] Good evening...

[laughs] Deacon Jones?

Hey, we didn't know you'd � be joining us this evening.

When Dorothy mentioned you were � helping our guys in uniform,

- I had to give a hand. � - Thanks for coming � We appreciate it.

Good evening, Spencer. � How are you doing?

Fine. Fine, I guess. � Girls, you didn't tell me � we were having company?

Oh, right, we invited � Mrs. Hammond over to help � with the care packages.

Wherever my lady is, � I'm never far behind.

Well, the... the more � the merrier, right?

This way... Deacon Jones.

Two packs of socks. � let's see... do we � have everything?

[Deacon Jones] Hey, Lizzie, � hand me that deck of cards.

- Thank you. � - [Lizzie] I think � that's it, Deacon.

This certainly is � a kind gesture.

You're not going to seal � that box yet are you?

It's missing quite a few items. � [laughs]

Thank you... Deacon.

Oh, well, � I think it looks good.

It looks fine, honey. � The boys will be happy � with whatever we send.

Where is Tay this evening?

Oh, he's too big time � for us now.

He's probably in a limo � somewhere, with Trey Songz

- and his "peeps." � - People.

Dorothy, what Eddie means to say � is that we're proud to see Tay

go after something � he's passionate about.

- And we know passion is � the spice of life. � - [doorbell rings]

Sorry I'm late. Got stuck at � Outreach. We were short-staffed.

- Oh, it's no problem.. � - Lizzie, do something quick.

It's getting ugly in there.

Come on. I have an idea.

Hey, everyone.

- You remember Andrew, right? � - Hi, Andrew.

- So since we finished, � we could play a game? � - [Cassie] Ooh, that sounds fun.

- What'd you have in mind? � - I got a deck of cards.

Cards are gambling. � And gambling's the Devil's work.

Well, how about charades?

I'll leave you all to it. � I'm gonna check on Jenn.

- Have fun. � - I know an excellent game.

Does anyone have a Bible?

We have one � in the family room.

[laughs] And I have mine... � right here.

Oh, Benjamin.

We're going to play � Name That Bible Verse?

Oh, it'll be great.

All we need now is a bell

and some paper, hmm?

Good thing Mom and Dad � sent us to Sunday School.

[muffled chattering]

[muffled hip hop music plays]

[loud chattering]

- [man] Over here, baby! � - [man 2] All right, � what's up, baby?

Oh, yeah! Hold on!

[muttering]

- Hey! � - Mmm!

[unintelligible]

You made it!

Check these out, they've got � these JELL-O things...

What the hell � are you doing here?

You don't even � know these people.

Yeah, I do. � This is Chanel,

- Tomica, and Bridget. � - [woman] Welcome!

Why are you being � such an ass?

Oh, don't... � Don't lecture me.

- I get enough of that at home. � - What exactly is � bothering you, Travis?

Is it the new car every year,

the all-access pass � to Harvard?

You're a buzzkill. � I'm outta here.

Travis...

"Above all, � love each other deeply,

because love covers � a multitude of sins."

1 Peter, 4:8.

- [Deacon Jones laughs] � - The Deacon's on a roll.

He sure is. Come on, � Grandpa, we have to catch up.

That brings us to 22, � right?

- Hmm? � - The game is rigged.

OK. Alrighty, ready for � the next clue?

- Ah, yes. � - Oh, this is a good one.

- "Love is patient. � Love is kind." � - [Deacon Jones] Yeah.

"Love isn't jealous. � It doesn't sing its � own praises."

[Lizzie] � I know! I know, I know!

1 Corinthians 13:4.

- Now who's showing off? � - [Lizzie] Thank you very much.

- Here, Dorothy. � Let me get that for you. � - Thank you, Spencer.

I've got one. � For a bonus point.

"Thou shalt not covet � thy neighbor's wife."

[gasps] I think it's...

Exodus 20:17?

- [Andrew] Nice! � - Yes!

Well, Deacon,

I think that � brings us to a tie.

That's impossible.

You should check � your numbers, young lady.

- Your math could be off. � - [Spencer] Hold on.

I know you're not accusing � my granddaughter of cheating?

- [Cassie] Grandpa! � - I'm simply saying � the numbers don't jibe.

Only Lizzie and the Good Lord � can answer whether she's � acting dishonestly.

- Dishonestly? � - [indistinct shouting]

Dad! What are you doing?

Back off! � I'm sorry, Deacon.

My father tends to fly � off the handle sometimes.

You know what?

I've had enough of this � ungodly behavior for one night.

If you'll excuse me � for a minute.

I'm sorry.

- [chuckles] � - Well...

[rap music plays]

�� Here we go � do what we do best ��

�� Let's do it and see � what comes out, man ��

- [faint car alarm] � - �� We gonna pack this street � full of people ��

[car alarm blaring]

[unintelligible shouting]

- Travis don't! Stop! � - [man] Hey! That's my car!

- [glass shatters] � - Whoo-hoo!

- What are you doing, man?! � - You're dead. [grunts]

[all grunting, shouting]

You want some? � Want some? Here!

- No! � - [sirens blaring]

- [man] Let's go! Get up! � - [woman] Five-oh!

This guy took a bat to our car!

On the hood! Now!

[indistinct chatter � over the radio]

[man] Get up.

David-32, send a car � towards my location...

Mr. Sutton, thank you � so much for coming...

Don't...

...thank me, � Tell me why it is you can't � stay away from trouble?

Sir, I promise you, � this was not my fault.

I was in the wrong place � at the way-wrong time.

Your specialty.

Witnesses confirmed that � your brother was the instigator.

- What do you say? � - I'm not gonna roll � on my brother.

You can't protect him, � Charles.

They have eyewitness � statements.

All right. Come on.

They've released you. � I'll take you home.

[phone ringing]

- Hello, Wes. � - [Wes] Yes?

This is Charles. I'm calling � to tell you Travis needs help.

What's wrong, Charles?

Come quick. He's spending � the night in Lincoln Heights...

- ...in jail. � - What the hell happened?

For what it's worth, � Grandpa,

I never really thought � the Deacon was right for her.

I like your little � Spanish boy.

Just... don't get � ahead of yourself,

you know, � take it easy.

We will, Grandpa, � we will.

- OK. � - [smacks]

Oh, Dad you have to try � Grandpa's French toast.

It's, like, amazing.

I know. � I've had it a few times.

Oh... Dad... � I just want you to know,

last night wasn't � Grandpa's fault.

- He was really just... � - Standing up for you.

I know. � Your sister told me.

I think my daughters � are trying to tell me � I owe you an apology.

No, no, don't worry.

Hey listen, I don't admit � I'm wrong too often, so...

...let me finish.

I didn't know how strong your � feelings were for Mrs. Hammond.

I can imagine how � difficult it's been.

Well, when your mother died, � I didn't think I could feel � that way about another woman.

Until I met Dorothy.

So what are you gonna do?

[sighs] Nothing.

If Deacon Jones does it for her, � then I gotta live with it.

What are you gonna do about Tay?

I don't know.

The more I try to reach him, � the more he pulls away.

Maybe he's just looking for you � to meet him where's he's at,

instead of where � you want him to be.

- [door opens] � - Right back here, guys.

It's a bunch of speakers, � and a subwoofer.

- What's up, Dad? � - [Spencer] Who in the hell � are these guys?

[Tay] Trey Songz's crew. � He sent them over to back us up.

Looks like you're gonna get � that sound system installed � one way or another.

- [drilling] � - Wasn't quite what � I had in mind.

[indistinct chattering]

- [man] You're gonna transfer � or what? � - Travis you OK?

He's fine. You're both lucky � I have a few well-placed friends � in this state.

You got a lot of nerve. � Dragging my son into this � gangster environment?

Whoa, he dragged me into it. � I never saw that part of � The Heights until he showed up.

- Dad, I told you... � - Shut up.

You know, you need � to give him a break.

Don't you even care � that your son is miserable?

You mind your own business, � this is a family matter.

- Now where's my car? � - I had it towed to a body shop.

Text me the address. � We'll send someone � to pick it up.

- Let's go. � - If you want it, � you should come and get it.

You fixed this?

That's incredible. � You can't even tell.

- How'd you pull this off? � - I've got "well-placed friends" � at the precinct.

- Had it towed last night � so I could do the work. � - You didn't have to do this.

- I have people. � - I did a better job � than they could have.

For less money. $250.

You should stick with it, � Charles.

You've got talent.

But you're undervaluing � yourself.

You should charge more.

Thanks.

Thank you.

Yeah... sorry we had to be � with my crazy family last night.

No. Your family is great.

I wouldn't have missed � that drama for anything.

Plus, we've got plenty of time � for a first date, right?

And a second one, � and a third one.

Cheers.

Salud.

[doorbell rings]

Dorothy.

Spencer.

Good afternoon.

How are you?

Fine, thanks...

Jenn is resting.

Actually, � I'm here to see you.

Oh. OK.

Dorothy, let me apologize � for last night. I was...

[Dorothy] Spencer, don't.

- I let myself get � all worked up... � - Spencer we broke up.

Excuse me?

I broke up with the Deacon.

I'm sorry about that.

I hope it wasn't because of all � that silliness last night.

No.

I finally had to � acknowledge the truth...

...that I was with � the wrong man and...

But I don't want � to waste any more time.

[Dorothy laughs]

- Hi. � - Charles, I don't have � time to hang out.

- I'm working on my portfolio. � - I know, I'll be quick.

- I promise. I just need � to ask you something. � - What is it?

I was wondering if you'd look � over this application essay,

and let me know what you think?

Are you kidding?! � Of course, I will.

California School of Design � is my first choice,

but I know I need � a few back-ups.

I'm glad you're finally � making plans again.

What happened?

I fixed a car, Cassie.

[sighs]

[zooming]

[turns volume up]

[guffaws]

Check it out! That plane � sounds like it's landing � on the dining room table.

- Ahh! � - Hey, Dad! Dad?!

Look, I just wanted to apologize � for bailing on you.

- [lowers volume] � - I appreciate that, son.

I was thinking maybe later on � we can rent a couple movies,

- test out the system? � - Sounds great. Let's do it.

All right, cool. � See you later.

[guffaws]

[turns volume up]

Hey, Dad, Tay and I are � gonna watch movies tonight.

You wanna join?

Uh, Eddie, um...

I might be overstepping... � but you got a chance � to connect with your son.

I'm not talking � about subwoofers.

- [turns TV off] � - So what are you talking about?

He's making a sacrifice � for you, Eddie.

I heard him on the phone. � I know where he wants � to be tonight.

[crowd cheering]

[Trey] Thanks, everybody.

For this next song I wanna � bring a friend of mine up.

- Tay? You out there? � - That's me! He's calling me!

Then you better get up there.

I met an impressive young man � on my trip to Lincoln Heights.

I'd like to introduce y'all � to him tonight.

Tay Sutton. You all � make some noise for him.

[cheering]

Now that I know you can � hold it down on your own,

wanna help me out � with this tune right quick?

Yeah. Sure. Hey, Dad! � What's up, family?

Hey.
