Previously on Greenleaf...

We were just discussing
your post-release care options

with Dr. Sawh.

And I wanna go home with him.

We can't have you
second-guessing

every move we make, can we?

You're fired.

I'll lay off the
willbecause I know now

that Mae knows that I'm right.

And she will make sure
that you do the right thing,

because you don't know how.

But we're done.

Did you send Dante a titty pic?

None of your business.

Girl, it's everybody's business.

The reason you can't find
Marcus DeMars

is he doesn't exist.

- So what,
is there an alias or... Yusef Shabazz.

Mrs. Davis originally meant
to leave that house

to your father, there's
a will that attests to it.

After your father died,
she amended the will

to leave it to us.

What's the matter, Grandpa?

That was Tara James.

She wants to talk again
about the house.

What are you still doingin bed,
baby?

I'm sleeping, obviously.

Your grandmother's
church service

starts downstairs
in eight minutes.

I told you, I'm not coming.

Sweetheart,
this is the last Sunday

before they tear down Calvary

and she would really
appreciateif you showed up.

I'm too tired.

Sophia,
it's almost nine o'clock.

I'm sorry.

I was up all night
dealing with texts

from these stupid girls
at Hampton.

I'm exhausted.

Everything okay?

I'll come down for brunch.

I'll do the family,
not the faith.

I'm sorry,
you're a Greenleaf,

it's the same thing.

Up, up, up, up, up.

You still good to sit down
with Zora

after worship and tell her?

Yup.
Full speed ahead, right?

Even though your own mother,
who runs you

like the Crips run Hickory Hill,
advised you otherwise?

So now, we're taking
Mama's side? Wow.

Never thought I'd see the day.

Nice, Jacob.

Make jokes while you destroy
your children's lives.

M...

You know what?

What did you and Fernando do
allthose afternoons at his office?

Sit and look at pictures
of the kids?

It's just the truth.

Amen.

Oh, Charity, baby,
that was beautiful.

Thank you, Mama.

Well, good morning, family.

Good morning.

Every day is a gift.

Full of possibilities,
even a day like today.

AJ.

Thank you so much
for joining us.

Yeah, you got it.

And you too, Karine.

The pleasure's all mine.

Yeah.

I assume your grandmother's
over there at Calvary

for the conjuring?

The conjuring?

I don't know what else
to call it

when people gather around

to breathe unholy life
into a corpse.

Daddy.

Well,
it's not a church service.

Let's not dwell on the past

or admit the spirit
of resentment,

grief or despair into our midst,

not when we have so much
to celebrate, amen?

Amen.

What's there to celebrate?

Worshiping God
together as a family, Kerissa,

and hopefully seeing
each other anew

in the light
of that holy awareness.

All right, now.

After all, we family,
and I am not gonna pretend

that it isn't strange,
worshiping in our home this way.

But it is the waythat
the first friends of Jesus

used to meet in the days
after his ascension

and I, for one,
am praying that there will be

an outpouring of the Spirit
this morning

the likes of which hadn't been
since those tongues of fire

descended in that Upper Room.

Good luck.

Oh, my God.

Can you ever
just give it a rest?

Do you wanna get
into it right now

- in front of everybody?
- Kerissa,

now, ever since I met you,

you've been a woman
of impeccable devotion.

Concentrate on what Jesus
has done for you

and settle down.

- Amen.
- And you do the same.

Amen.

All right.

So, does anyone else have any...

announcements?

Well...

my message today...

is "New Beginnings."

- I thought Dante deleted them.
- He did,

but some guy I know
from Hampton who follows Dante

screenshot them before that
and shared them,

so now everyone knows.

Wait.
So, your mom still doesn't...

No, no. You're the only one herewho does.

But now if I go back,
everybody's gonna be like,

- "What..."
- What do you mean "if"?

What are you two down here
whispering about?

Um, we were saying how bad
the choir must've sounded

without you taking charge,
Auntie.

Uh-huh.

Grandma Clara's been texting
meall through the service,

she said the whole thing
feels like a wheelchair

rolling down
a circular staircase.

Why didn't she come with you?

Oh, you know,
she wants tosee the building one last time.

When are they tearing it down?

Tuesday. Two days from now.

Unbelievable.

What now?

Judee's singing "I Believe".

What a mess.

I've never, in my life,
seen so much food,

and at this house,
that's saying a lot.

Mama is determined

to make it seem like
a celebration.

She and Maricel were up
all night.

Do you rememberthe
first Sunday in that church?

Consecration Sunday?

Why would you bring that up?

It's as much a partof
the history of that building

- as anything else.
- I would not say that.

And I do not want
anyone here knowing

that I lost my virginity
in that church,

especially AJ.

Do not tell him.

You know, I think he might
actually like the story.

Noah, I swear.

Okay. Okay.

Mae.

That was a wonderful message
this morning.

Thank you, James.

In the interest of keeping
my star preacher safe,

let me come with you
to see Tara.

No.

Two Greenleaf men have gone
to see this woman

and caused problems,
and with the help of God,

one Greenleaf woman
can solve it.

It's dangerous down there.

Especially dangerous
for this Skanks-adjacent saint

who wants to take my house.

Pray for her.

You're not hungry?

No, I am, I'm just waiting
forthe crowd to clear out a little.

I already told him
he couldn't have it, Jacob.

God, why contradict me?

I didn't know you told him that.

How am I supposed to know
you told him that?

All this food,
all this family, all... All this,

and they still find a way
to be miserable.

Yeah. Well, some people
like putting things together

and some like taking them apart.

How so?

A doctor at the hospital said.

She said there's some
peoplethat like to take things apart,

break things open.

And it's not because they want
to hurt anybody, they just...

wanna see how it works
'cause they don't know.

Follow me.

I promise I won't try
to save you.

Come on.

- Thank you, sister.
- Oh, you're very welcome.

Get home safe.

Hey. Oh.

Hey, you best enjoy every bit,
okay?

I wanna see some meaton
these little bones next week.

- God bless you, Sister James.
- Oh, you're welcome.

And make sure
when you tell your momma

that I arranged...

How many children
do you usually see

here on a Sunday?

Oh, anywhere from 20 to 30.

I don't know if their parents
bring them here

for the food or the Gospel,
but they bring 'em all the same.

Well,
that's what matters, right?

Amen.

And how long have you been here?

In this location?

Two years.

But I've been ministeringin
this neighborhood

since I first started.

It's just a constant struggleto
keep up with the rising rent,

so I've never been in one place
for long.

And, uh, it never...

occurred to you to...

To what?

You know, do something
more ambitious?

What's more ambitious
than feeding a child,

or saving a soul?

Saving a thousand?
Feeding 10,000?

It never occurred to you
to do something more?

I know God givesthose
glorious visions to some,

but me, I've always looked
to the gospels for direction.

Jesus, He never...
He never built a temple,

He never asked for donations.

He just helped the folks
who came to him,

so I've tried to do that.

But now, you want my house.

Look, Ms. Greenleaf.

I know I don't havea firm
legal claim to the house.

But if Mrs. Davis
wanted Daddy to have it,

and if there's even
a shadow of a chance

that your brother or someone
got him out of the way...

that house could be a shelter
for women and kids

living out here on the streets,
forced out of their homes

due to poverty, drugs,
or sexual abuse,

a center for foster kids
and parents,

with programs for both of them.

Oh, Ms. Greenleaf,
it could be doing so much good.

I should've known better.

Should've known what?

This morning,
I asked God for a new beginning.

Well, God has quite a sense
of humor.

You're doing good work.

Voila.

What is it?

It is a car.
Well, pieces of one.

Do you know anything about cars?

I know how to drive 'emand
I know how to hot-wire 'em,

that's about it.

I always wanted
a 1964 Pontiac GTO.

Burgundy red.

It was my dream car.

Mine's a Beemer.

Make, model?

Don't matter. As long asit's
black drop top, I'm Gucci.

When I was 16,

for about six months straight,
I asked my father for a GTO.

And for six months straight,

he said, "You just keep praying for it."

One morning,
he woke me up and he said,

"Your prayers
have been answered."

Now, you can imagine
my disappointment

when I found thiswaiting
for me in the driveway.

There's a GTO in here?

In about a thousand pieces.

My father was trying
to teach me that...

faith without works is dead.

What I got out of it
was nothing.

Because I never got the nerve up

to crack even oneof these
boards and look inside,

let alone build the thing.

I don't know how to build cars.

I don't either.

But if you help me
put this together,

the car is yours.

Now, it's not a Gucci drop-top,

but it's a pretty sweet ride.

What do you say?

And that's it,
the house is in play,

which is crazy.

We have no idea
what Bob Whitmore's hiding,

and then Phil's dad won't talk.

So, unless we find
something soon...

the church is gonna be torn downon Tuesday.

You really think you could
stop it still this late?

With the right information,
yeah.

How'd it go with AJ last night?

Very...

low key.

- Mm-hmm.
- I mean...

he's 24.

I don't feel like his dad.

I'm glad he has you, anyway.

Thank you for letting me in.

Like I had a choice.

- You're tired.
- I am tired.

I haven't slept much
in the past few weeks.

And then when Tara
called last night...

after that, I just laid here in the dark...

and thought about all that time
I spent in this house.

And you.

Come.

Oh, no, no.
I... I just need some coffee.

Grace.

Noah, this is not
Consecration Sunday.

I know.

Rest.

Yeah.

Why would Ms. Davis

have left the house
to Daryl to begin with?

Nobody knows.

Right now,
nobody knows anything.

Good job.

I gotta go, Peaches.

What now, Herb?

That was Grandma.

When church was over,
she went outside.

Not only had they rolled up
a wrecking ball during church,

Phil and Judee
were already out there

with construction helmets on,
taking selfies.

It's like they just want it
to hurt.

It's working. Grandma's a wreck.

I'm so sorry.

- Please tell her I said hi.
- I'll do that.

God is good.

All the time.

Hey, say bye. Say, "Bye, Herb."

I just don't think
you'll have to change

your whole life plan

because of some pictures
on the internet.

Yeah, but it was never
my life's plan.

- Mm-hmm.
- I was only going there

to get out of here.

Beautiful nieces,
can you come here a second?

Mm-hmm. Sure.

Let me do something real quick.

Can you watch the little man
for just a second?

I need to make
a quick phone call.

- Yeah, sure.
- Uh...

- Thank you.
- Mm-hmm.

Thank you.

You know I don't love
doing this.

Don't worry, I'll watch him.

- Hi.
- Z.

We need to have a little talk.

Kind of busy right now.

Zora, come on.

This is serious, baby.

Go ahead.

Thank you.

I told you, Pastor,
three strikes.

This isn't Grace Greenleaf,
it's her sister, Charity.

Charity Greenleaf?

I was almost Charity DeMars.

You got two minutes. Go.

Well, it isn't like speeding
down a country highway

at 110 miles an hour, but...

it kinda is.

For real?

Son, all these folk
who want to turn religion

into some kind of rulebook,
it isn't.

It's an experience.

Now, you don't know this yet,

but you will someday
if you want to,

Jesus is real.

Well, hello there,
welcome back.

How did it go?

I don't wanna talk about it.

Well, uh, wait a minute,
wait a minute.

Now, you went down there
to fix this, woman-style,

no men folk involved,
I wanna know what happened.

I think we have
to give her the house.

- Because she said so?-I
think because Jesus said so.

Says who? Her?

I'm not sure, James.

But I wanna hear from God.

Well, He hasn't told me yet!

It's not your fault.

What are you talking about?

I was just...
I was just clowning,

you know how when parents get
a divorce, they always say...

"It's not your fault."

Um, well, actually we are, Z.

We are getting divorced.

That's why we wanted
to sit you down.

Hmm.

Wow. Guess I can read a room.

We're taking Winkieto a
child psychologist tomorrow

to break the news to him,
but we know how you feel

- about therapists.
- Yeah, well, thanks for that.

Can I go now?

- Zora, this is real this time.
- Yeah, I get that, can I go?

Like, what? What do you
want me to say? "Don't do it?"

Like, I wish you would have
done it a long time ago.

For Mom's sakebecause
who's she gonna get now,

some old dude?

- Way to go.
- Zora, hold on a second.

Don't keep defending him.

I'm not. I wasn't going to.

Okay, so then what?

This isn't completely
your father's fault.

Oh, oh, yeah,
well, what did you do? Hmm?

Cook too many dinners
that sat and got cold

while he was messing with Alexa?

Hey, watch it.

I've been watching it for years.

The details are irrelevant,

just know that going forward,

this isn't entirely
your father's fault.

We both missed the mark.

Okay, now I'm sick,
can I go now, please?

You know, why am I asking?

Zora.

Do you think
she's gonna be okay?

Well, she has to be,
doesn't she?

Thanks for, uh,
you know, saying that...

I guess.

I am willing to still drop
this whole thing.

But after we tell
Winkie tomorrow, it's over.

There is no going back.

I will not put him through thatfor nothing.

Understood.

What's the matter?

Nothing.

I stuck around here for you.

- Thank you.
- Don't thank me,

just tell me what's going on.

Did he piss you off?

You want me to have a talk
with him?

Who are you talking about?

This guy.

No, he hasn't done
anything wrong.

I'm just an idiot
and people suck.

Tell me about it.

Oh.

How long was I sleep?

Um, just about an hour.

Oh.

I am so sorry.

No, no, no, don't be, don't be.

Gave me some time to think.

About what? Consecration Sunday?

No.

Actually, back when I lived in the cabin,

I came across a journal
that the caretaker left.

What? The one that worked
for Mrs. Davis?

Yeah. He mainly used it
as a way to keep a record

of parts of the propertyhe
worked on a day-to-day basis,

trees he'd trimmed, whatever.

But there were also plans
and sketches

for things to do to the
groundsonce Mrs. Davis was gone,

like he actually thought
he was gonna get the place.

Anyway, a bunch of times
in the book, he wrote,

"The Negro came by
and that Negro came over."

- This caretaker was white?
- Yeah. Just like Ms. Davis.

So what's your point?

What if "that Negro"
was Daryl James?

- I need your help.
- Yeah.

- I'm sorry to interrupt, Noah.
- No, no, no, not a problem.

- I was just gonna take AJ
home.-Tell him I'll call me later.

You got it.

Thanks, son.

Daddy?

I'm so sorry
to do this to you, Gigi.

No, no, what do you need?

As you know,
your mother went to see

- Tara James about the house.
- What happened?

I'm not entirely sure,
but your mother came away

intent on giving the house
to Tara,

which I, as your daughter
often says, I can't even.

She wants to give her the house?

It seems that way,
yes. But I can't help thinking, Gigi,

if we were to offer this woman
some kind of...

How much do you need?

How much you got?

So that's... That's it.

We really need a break up here.

Can you help us?

That was more than two minutes.

I know. I just...

I wanted you to know
it wasn't just... business.

Mr. Shabazz,
what did your wife do for Edenvale Lending?

Or what did Edenvale do?

Look,
you sound real cute,

but, uh, we got a saying here.

"The river only flows one way."

And it ain't got nothing to do
with the river, you dig?

Look, Mr. Shabazz,
I hear you, but...

No, it doesn't seem like you do.

So, you gotta go
back to Hampton.

Why, though? I don't.

Look at me.

You think you feel bad,
like you gotta go every day

with what happened,
everybody knowing?

Look at me. I'm here.

Yeah, well,
you're better than me.

Man!

What?

You really have no, like...

What?

Balls, cojones.

Try having a picture ofyour
dick all over the Internet

before you get all in my face
about this.

What do you want, Sophia?

I wanna not have
to go back to Hampton

- and deal with a buncha bitches!- Okay,

that's what
you don't want to do,

but what do you want?

I want every single last one

of those pictures
permanently deleted

from the Internet and my life!

But what do you want
that you can have?

What do you want
that you can have?

I wanna stay here
with you and Zora.

Then do that, I guess.

Well, don't make it sound
so lame.

I'm not making it sound
any kind of way.

- Oh, yeah, you are.
- Or maybe it's just lame.

Look, even if you, me and Zora
all grew up here together

and played tag
in the goddamn woods

and caught tadpoles,
you'd still have to grow up.

You'd still have to leave.

Look at these people,

- your Uncle Jacob and...
- Kerissa.

And Charity?

People this old
don't live at home.

You're gonna have to go
somewhere, sometime...

and you're gonna have to bring
your sorry self with you

and it ain't ever gonna be easy,
but you're gonna do it.

You will.

Him, too.

- Ready to hit the road?
- Yeah, let's do it.

I'm just saying.

Come in.

Oh, she's not here.

Honey?

Everything okay?

Mom and Dad
are getting a divorce.

- They told you that?
- Yeah.

Speaking of new beginnings.

How are you doing?

You know, it's, like, whatever.

I'm so sorry.

What are you doing here?

- It doesn't matter.
- No, you can tell me.

You might as well.

Noah and I
were talking earlier,

and, um, he was saying
that when he lived down here,

there was a journal
or something,

a book that the caretaker
left behind.

Yeah, um, all the old stuff's
in the bedroom,

in a box under the bed.

- Okay if I look?-Yeah,
go knock yourself out.

- I'm here if you need to talk.
- No, I know.

- No, I mean it.
- I know. Thank you.

Sweetheart.

It's gonna be okay.

How many times are we gonna go
crawling to Grace, begging?

Gigi wants us to have it!

That money of hers
is a stain on a dress

that time will never fade,
James.

It is evidence
of the biggest mistake

- I ever made!
- You're gonna let one mistake

- rule the rest of your life?
- One mistake?

I lied every day for 40 years
to everyone in this family,

held myself at a distance,

lived alone like a hermit
in my own head

with nothing but a secret
for company.

No, James,
I don't want to use that money

to paper over this.

-It's just gonna make it worse!-Mae,

now, I know you have this vision

that this new church of yours
has to be, what?

I don't know, uh,
completely free

- of any kind of...
- Founded on truth!

And built sturdy

like every
simple well-made thing.

And, yes, James,
it is not a vision,

it is God's own physics,

that you and now Grace
don't even seem to understand.

Grace is just trying
to help here.

We're giving Tara the house.

You're making me
look like a murderer!

I just can't let you do that.

We're going to see this church
of ours one last time

before it's gone forever.

Do you two wanna come?

Any day but today, baby.
I just can't do it.

Mama, we're not going
to say goodbye.

We're going to say thank you.

Yes.

Way to keep
an extra key, Charity.

You know I always lose 'em.

What a beautiful building.

It's hard to imagine
whatever they put in its place

is gonna have more charm.

Do you remember the firstbaptism
we celebrated here, Mae?

Oh.

That is a memory
I will cherish forever.

The first baptism of the morning

was a woman
who'd just turned 92.

When she rose up
out of the water

into God's new life...

she danced on that stage,
soaked through and dripping...

with the love of God.

What a blessing...

that we can all be here
in the same space...

one last time.
Thank you, Charity, for this.

In the same way that...

that awful Friday
can be called "Good,"

this visit has been a balm
for my soul.

Let us seal up this tomb...

and wait for our miracle.

He didn't hang onto anything.

No, he didn't.

Even let himself
be called a criminal.

Seditious. King of the Jews.

He'd done nothing wrong.

Amen.

I've been a liar...

all these years.

How so?

I pretend...

to serve only Him...

but there's a part of me
that serves only you.

But you know what?

He forgives me.

Well, that's a mercy
for both of us.

Give her the house if you want.

If He wants.

Thank you, Jesus.

Well, Kerissa is taking Winkie.

It's settled, then?

Unless something changes
tomorrow.

Either way, I think
we'll be able to work out

a reasonable timeline with Tara.

I mean,
she's a reasonable woman.

As reasonable as any Christian.

I pray you're right.

Oh, the Lord will provide.

Wait and see. It'll be just
likewhen we started out.

A real new beginning.

All right.

Hi.

You're back already? I w...

Told you, Tara.

These Greenleafs,
they're like a bad penny.

You just can't get rid of them.

Ciao.
