PREVIOUSLY ON "LOVE & MARRIAGE: HUNTSVILLE --

MELODY'S SPECIAL DELIVERY"...

OH LOOK, NOW I SEE THE NOSE AND EYES.

YOU DO? YES! Y'ALL DON'T SEE THAT?

WELL, WE GOT A BUSY WEEKEND.

WE GOT THE BABY SHOWER, AND YOUR DAD IS COMING, HOPEFULLY.

I'M REALLY TRYING TO WORK TO REKINDLE

THAT WHOLE RELATIONSHIP.

YOU THINK DADDY WILL COME? PROBABLY. WHY?

I FEEL LIKE WE GO THROUGH THESE GAPS

WHERE WE DON'T SEE EACH OTHER.

SO THEN HOW DO YOU THINK HE FEELS ABOUT THAT?

I HAVE NO IDEA. I WOULD LOVE TO KNOW.

ABOUT YOU AND YOUR DAD, YOU'RE NOT WISHING IT WAS DIFFERENT?

I JUST FEEL THAT I REALLY DO NEED

TO PUT MORE EFFORT INTO GETTING US

TO FIX WHATEVER'S BROKEN, I FEEL.

SO, I JUST WANTED TO TALK TO YOU

'CAUSE THERE WAS A COMMENT THAT WAS MADE

AND I WAS JUST A LITTLE OFFENDED BY IT.

DON'T COME FOR MY BABY, SOMETHING ABOUT,

"I DON'T KNOW HIM. ALL HE DOES IS MAKE THE CHICKEN."

I FEEL CONFIDENT IN SAYING I DIDN'T KNOW WHO YOU ALL WERE.

SHE'S GOING TO HAVE TO GET SOME THICKER SKIN

TO HANG WITH THIS CROWD.

HAVE YOU EVER SAID,

"YOU KNOW WHAT -- I'M GOING TO BE THE BIGGER PERSON THAN THIS"?

YES, I'VE DONE IT FOR SEVERAL MONTHS.

AND IT'S LIKE I ONLY CAN TAKE SO MUCH.

IT'S ALMOST LIKE, "MAN. I CANNOT BELIEVE

THAT YOU THINK THAT YOU CAN DO THIS WITHOUT ME RETALIATING."

MARTELL, HE APOLOGIZED FOR THE JOKES,

AND THEN YOU CAN'T STOP.

IT SEEMS LIKE YOU'RE A RUNAWAY TRAIN RIGHT NOW.

IT'S BEEN KINDA FUN TO ME, THOUGH.

I DEFINITELY DON'T THINK THIS IS THE TIME

AND PLACE TO BE DISCUSSING ANY TYPE OF DRAMA.

IF YOU GUYS WANT TO DISCUSS ANYTHING,

WE COULD DO IT OVER LUNCH ON YOUR TIME.

EVERYBODY HAS STUFF THAT THEY'VE MADE MISTAKES WITH

THAT THEY DON'T WANT REVEALED. I AGREE.

BUT HE SAID IT, THOUGH. BUT WHY DID YOU --

IT'S LIKE ONCE YOU PUT IT OUT IN THE ATMOSPHERE, IT'S OUT THERE.

THEY RESPOND TO A TEXT, AS WELL.

THEY DO!

I HAVEN'T EVEN SAID ANYTHING ABOUT THEM.

YES, YOU HAVE. WHAT DID I SAY?

OKAY, YOU SAID THE 20-WOMAN DEAL, THAT WHOLE THING.

OH, DUDE, THAT AIN'T --

THAT'S A LOT DIFFERENT THAN TISHA SAYING,

"MARTELL, YOU BOUGHT THIS CHICK A BMW,"

KNOWING SHE GOT A BMW. IT'S NOT!

MAURICE'S COMPARISON ISN'T FAIR.

WHAT LaTISHA SAID ABOUT ME ISN'T TRUE.

I DIDN'T BUY ANYONE A CAR, EXCEPT FOR MY WIFE.

LOOK, I'M NOT MESSY.

YOU'RE THE CENTER OF ALL OF THE MESS.

ME? YOU DON'T KNOW THAT.

I'M THE PERSON THAT KEEPS HIS MOUTH CLOSED THE MOST.

THE MOST. THINK ABOUT THIS.

REMOVE THE MESS OUT OF MARTELL'S LIFE, OKAY,

AND THINK OF HOW UNEVENTFUL EVERYTHING ELSE WOULD BE.

THAT'S JUST THAT ONE THING IN MY LIFE, THOUGH.

SO THAT CREATED THE CHAOS? YOU THINK IT HASN'T?!

FOR EVERYBODY?! FOR EVERYBODY.

Maurice: I DON'T THINK THAT MARTELL TRULY UNDERSTANDS

THAT EVERY SINGLE THING

THAT'S GOING ON RIGHT NOW SURROUNDS HIM.

MEL WOULDN'T BE IN THE POSITION

THAT SHE'S IN RIGHT NOW IF IT WEREN'T FOR MARTELL.

THE FACT THAT MARSAU AND TISHA ARE GOING THROUGH THIS SITUATION

IS BECAUSE MARTELL -- HE FELT ATTACKED,

SO HE DECIDED TO ATTACK.

HE'LL REACT OUT OF HIS EMOTION. THAT'S WHAT HE DOES.

I PROBABLY KNOW MARSAU MORE THAN ANYBODY ELSE.

I WOULD AGREE. I'VE KNOWN HIM FOR SO LONG

NOT TO BE A MALICIOUS PERSON.

NOW, HE WILL RESPOND IF ATTACKED,

BUT HE'S NOT A MALICIOUS PERSON.

EVEN AFTER THE CONVERSATION THAT YOU HAD WITH HIM --

WHICH ONE?

THE ERUPTION OF THE 20 WOMEN AND EVERYTHING ELSE.

YEAH, OKAY. HE CAME BACK AND APOLOGIZED.

IF I WAS IN THAT SAME POSITION THAT YOU ARE IN,

I WOULD NOT HAVE WANTED TO EVER HEAR A JOKE

OR ANYTHING REMOTELY FUNNY COMING FROM ONE OF MY FRIENDS.

I OWE YOU AN APOLOGY FOR THAT.

YOU WANT ME TO TELL YOU WHY? WHY?

MARSAU -- HE KNOWS THAT I KNOW CERTAIN THINGS.

"YEAH, MARTELL, HE MIGHT COME OUT AND TALK NOW,

SO LET ME GO AND APOLOGIZE." THAT'S IT.

I WOULD TELL ANYBODY, DON'T RIDE SO HARD WITH YOUR FAMILY

THAT IT'S GONNA HURT YOU.

SO THERE'S CERTAIN THINGS THAT I'VE TOLD MAURICE,

YOU KNOW, REALLY, OVER THE YEARS, FOR REAL,

"YOU KNOW YOUR BROTHER'S FATE."

DON'T GET YOURSELF IN TROUBLE TRYING TO BE HERE FOR HIM,

'CAUSE MARTELL -- I'M COMING. I'M COMING NOW.

LET'S GET BACK TO THE BABY SHOWER.

WE'LL PICK THIS CONVERSATION UP ANOTHER DAY.

I THINK WE SHOULD FINISH IT ALL OF US TOGETHER, TOO, THOUGH.

THAT'S GOOD. ALRIGHT, ALRIGHT.

¶ I'M UP IN THIS ¶

¶ AND I AIN'T 'BOUT TO LEAVE IT EASY, NO ¶

¶ I'M SO VICIOUS ¶

¶ SO YOU WALK FROM THE SCENE, IT AIN'T PRETTY ¶

MARTELL, WE GOT SOME DIAPERS, HONEY!

Martell: OH, REALLY?

I HOPE YOU'RE READY TO CHANGE SOME.

I'M PRETTY SURE WE GOT EVERYTHING.

THE OUTPOURING OF LOVE THAT WE'VE RECEIVED

FOR M&M KID NUMBER 4 IS JUST REALLY ASTOUNDING.

I REALLY WASN'T EXPECTING... ALL OF THESE GIFTS.

RIGHT. I REALLY WASN'T. IT'S AMAZING.

AND I'M LIKE, "OH, MY GOSH.

THIS LITTLE GIRL IS SPOILED ALREADY."

OH, YES. OH, IT'S THE PAIL --

THE DIAPER PAIL. THAT'S --

THAT'S THE COLOR I PICKED AND EVERYTHING.

THAT'S A PRETTY COLOR. WHAT COLOR IS THAT?

LIKE A BLUSH PINK. WHO IS IT FROM?

OH, KIMMI. THAT'S FROM KIMMI?

KIMMI AND MAURICE. SHE SAID SHE HADN'T --

"CONGRATULATIONS AND ENJOY YOUR GIFT. FROM KIMMI."

AW, THAT'S SO SWEET. I GUESS THEY DECIDED

THEY AIN'T GONNA BE [BLEEP] FRIENDS NO MORE.

YOU SO FUNNY.

KIMMI AND MAURICE, IN TERMS OF BEING [BLEEP] FRIENDS,

SO TO SPEAK, IN THE PAST --

[BLEEP] FRIENDS --

REALLY, WE ALREADY RESOLVED IT, THOUGH.

LIKE, KIMMI EXPRESSED

HOW SHE WOULD SOMETIMES HOP INTO THINGS

THAT HAD NOTHING TO DO WITH HER.

SO, MOVING FORWARD, I FEEL LIKE SHE AND I

ARE JUST GOING TO CONTINUE TO BE MOVING

ON A POSITIVE PATH TOWARD OUR FRIENDSHIP.

I LIKE THIS COLOR.

IT'S VERY BOLD. IT IS. IT IS.

I CAN ALMOST GUESS WHO THIS IS FROM.

GUESS? HOW YOU GONNA GUESS WHO IT'S FROM?

NO, WHO YOU GUESSING? YOU TOLD ME YOU COULD GUESS.

OH. MY DADDY, WHO WASN'T THERE.

[ LAUGHS ]

OKAY, THAT AIN'T EVEN FUNNY.

I FELT LIKE Y'ALL WERE GETTING CLOSE

AND REBUILDING Y'ALLS RELATIONSHIP, RIGHT?

Y'ALL HAD THE AMAZING BOAT TRIP.

YEAH, SEE, MY THING IS I CANNOT KEEP TRYING TO REACH OUT.

I GOT FOUR KIDS, A WIFE.

I'M JUST AS BUSY AS HE IS, AND, I MEAN, YOU KNOW,

IF HE'S NOT TRYING TO REACH OUT TO ME, I GOT TO --

I CAN'T BE PUSHING MYSELF ON HIM.

YOU KNOW WHAT I'M TALKING ABOUT?

AND I HAD A GOOD CONVO WITH MARCUS.

HE WAS LIKE, "I COULD HAVE BEEN DOING BETTER ON MY PART."

EVEN THOUGH EVERY TIME DADDY AND I GET TOGETHER,

WE PICK RIGHT BACK UP LIKE NOT A STEP HAS BEEN MISSED.

I KNOW HE LOVES ME. I KNOW HE KNOWS I LOVE HIM.

BUT WHEN IT COMES TO SPENDING TIME TOGETHER,

I JUST FEEL LIKE I WANT THAT TO HAPPEN.

WE NEED TO MAKE MORE EFFORT

INTO HAVING YOUR DAD AROUND MORE.

IN MY OPINION, IT'S SUCH A GOOD ROLE MODEL, YOU KNOW?

I MEAN, HE HAS HIS DOCTOR'S DEGREE.

I MEAN, HE OWNS STUFF. HE'S A BUSINESSMAN.

TO ME, HE'S A REALLY GOOD ROLE MODEL.

I AGREE.

AND I WANT MY KIDS TO BE AROUND THAT AND SEE THAT.

IT'S VERY IMPORTANT FOR MARTELL AND I BOTH

TO WORK ON OUR RELATIONSHIPS WITH OUR DADS

BECAUSE I DON'T WANT OUR CHILDREN TO BE LACKING

LIKE WE WERE.

SO, IF THERE'S A WAY THAT WE CAN BRING EVERYBODY TOGETHER

BEFORE I LEAVE THIS EARTH,

THEN I'M WILLING TO PUT IN THE WORK

THAT IT TAKES TO DO THAT.

YOU SHOULD CONTINUE MAKING THAT EFFORT TO,

YOU KNOW, SPEND TIME WITH YOUR DAD

AND KIND OF MAKE HIM FEEL A PART OF THE FAMILY.

YOU KNOW, UNFORTUNATELY, THINGS OCCURRED TO CAUSE Y'ALL

NOT TO BE IN EACH OTHER'S LIVES,

BUT WE TALKED ABOUT HOW WE BOTH GREW UP

IN SINGLE-PARENT HOMES -- YOU KNOW WHAT I'M SAYING? --

AND HOW WE WANT SOMETHING DIFFERENT FOR OUR KIDS.

BUT IN DOING THAT, WE NEED TO BE REPAIRING OUR OWN RELATIONSHIPS

WITH OUR PARENTS. YOU KNOW WHAT I MEAN?

[ SIGHS ] BACK OF MY HEAD, I'M THINKING LIKE,

"I KNOW WE START GETTING BACK TIGHT,

SOMETHING ELSE IS GOING TO HAPPEN,

AND THEN WE'LL GET TO THIS POINT WHERE WE ARE RIGHT NOW."

IT'S LIKE I DON'T WANT TO KEEP GOING BACK AND FORTH.

OHH. YOU FOLLOW WHAT I'M SAYING?

I UNDERSTAND BECAUSE THEN THAT'S DISAPPOINTING, I GUESS.

I WOULD SAY SO.

YOU PROBABLY DON'T EVEN WANT TO ADMIT IT,

BUT IT'S SOME KIND OF DISAPPOINTMENT.

GOT TO BE. OH, YEAH. I'D ADMIT THAT.

IT IS DISAPPOINTING, YOU KNOW?

LIKE, RIGHT NOW, IF YOU TELL ME

YOU'RE GOING TO BE AT OUR BABY SHOWER,

BE THERE, YOU KNOW?

OR NEXT TIME, TELL ME THAT, "HEY, I'M NOT SURE.

I'M GOING TO BE WORKING" OR SOMETHING.

MM-HMM. YOU KNOW WHAT I'M TALKING ABOUT?

LET ME KNOW THAT... YOU'RE TRYING.

RIGHT. YEAH. SO...

WELL, I WOULD JUST ASK THAT YOU JUST DON'T, LIKE, GIVE UP.

DON'T STOP REACHING OUT.

KEEP GIVING HIM CHANCES.

AND IF HE COMES, HE COMES, AND IF HE DOESN'T, HE DOESN'T.

¶¶

¶¶

HELLO.

HI. WELCOME TO GROGAN JEWELERS.

THANK YOU. HOW ARE YOU GUYS?

I'M NOT READY TO REACH OUT TO MY DAD JUST YET

BECAUSE I'M STILL UPSET WITH HIM

ABOUT NOT SHOWING TO THE BABY SHOWER.

BUT IN THE SPIRIT OF REPAIRING FAMILY RELATIONSHIPS,

I WANTED TO REACH OUT TO MELODY'S BROTHER, MARCUS.

I THOUGHT IT WOULD BE PRETTY COOL TO BRING HIM ALONG

TO SHOP FOR A PUSH GIFT FOR HIS BABY SISTER.

HE HAS BEEN VERY CRITICAL IN THE PAST OF MY INFIDELITY,

AND I JUST WANT TO LET HIM KNOW THAT I AM A CHANGED MAN.

GOOD TO SEE YOU. IT'S BEEN TOO LONG.

YOU DOING ALRIGHT? I AM. I'M WELL.

DOING WELL. GOOD, GOOD, GOOD.

WE ALREADY GOT STARTED, MAN, SO, UM...

WE'RE LOOKING AT DIAMOND TENNIS BRACELETS.

YEAH, YEAH. OKAY.

SO, WE MIGHT WANT TO TALK ABOUT SOME RINGS, THOUGH.

YEAH?

BECAUSE THE SYMBOLISM OF RINGS ARE

IT'S A CIRCLE WITH NO BREAK... MM-HMM.

...ETERNAL COMMITMENT, SO WE MIGHT WANT TO...

YEAH. ...LOOK FOR A RING,

LIKE, A THICK RING THAT WON'T BREAK.

RIGHT, YEAH.

A THIN ONE MIGHT COME LOOSE, AND WE DON'T WANT --

NEEDING SOMETHING THAT FILLS UP THE WHOLE KNUCKLE, MAYBE?

YEAH, SO IT, UH, WON'T GET BROKEN.

NO INTERFERENCE. THAT'S WHAT'S HE'S SAYING.

I UNDERSTAND. THERE YOU GO.

YEAH, WE'RE NOT GOING TO HAVE

ANYMORE INTERFERENCE, ANYWAY, MARCUS.

OKAY. SO, YEAH.

JUST TO MAKE THAT, UM, CLEAR.

I GUESS I HAD TO SET UP MARCUS'S JOKES

ABOUT GETTING AN UNBREAKABLE RING.

I WISH THOSE THOUGHTS WOULDN'T EVEN ENTER HIS HEAD,

BUT IT WAS GOOD FOR ME TO INVITE HIM HERE

SO WE CAN GET THINGS WORKED OUT AND MOVE FORWARD.

WHEN I DO A RING, IT'S GOING TO BE ME

UPGRADING HER WEDDING RING

AND ME GETTING ON A KNEE AGAIN

AND ASKING FOR HER HAND AGAIN IN MARRIAGE, YOU KNOW?

OH, WOW. THAT'S ROMANTIC.

YEAH. SO... THAT'S VERY ROMANTIC.

...I'M GOING TO SAVE THAT RING

FOR ANOTHER DAY.

TENNIS BRACELET'S VERY CLASSIC. GOES WITH EVERYTHING.

THIS ONE HERE -- THIS IS 5 CARATS.

THIS IS A TYPICAL LINE BRACELET.

I THINK WE LIKE THAT BRACELET RIGHT THERE.

OKAY. LET ME GO WRAP IT UP FOR YOU.

THAT SOUNDS GOOD. OKAY.

THANK YOU SO MUCH. YOU'RE WELCOME.

OKAY. COOL. SOLD.

AGAIN, THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR COMING.

PLEASURE BEING HERE.

LET ME ASK YOU THIS, THOUGH. I'M SERIOUS. I'M REALLY CURIOUS.

I KEEP HEARING STUFF, THOUGH. LIKE, STUFF KEEP COMING OUT.

YEAH, 'CAUSE EVERYTHING HASN'T 100%, UM, DIED DOWN.

I HAVE...TURNED A NEW LEAF,

UM, AND I KNOW SHE SHARED WITH YOU

MOST OF THE THINGS THAT WE'VE GONE THROUGH,

AND NOW IT'S JUST LIKE WE JUST IN A BETTER PLACE.

JUST KNOW I LOVE YOUR SISTER MORE THAN ANYTHING.

I NEVER DOUBTED THAT YOU LOVE HER,

BUT I UNDERSTAND THAT INFIDELITY

REALLY, TO ME, HAS NOTHING TO DO

WITH THE LOVE THAT YOU HAVE FOR ONE PERSON,

'CAUSE, IN YOUR PARTICULAR CASE,

I THINK I KNOW WHY YOU DID WHAT YOU DID.

IT'S INSECURITIES THAT YOU HAVE AND IT'S REALLY FROM CHILDHOOD.

AND SO WHAT HAPPENED IS YOU WENT OUT TO DO WHAT YOU DID

BECAUSE IT MADE YOU FEEL LIKE YOU WERE

JUST THE MAN, THE THING.

IT BUILT YOUR EGO. MM, OKAY.

YOU NEED THAT VALIDATION,

AND SO THE SEX WAS NOTHING BUT A VALIDATION TO --

I AIN'T SAID I HAD SEX WITH NOBODY.

WHAT YOU TALKING ABOUT?

YOU HAD NEVER TALKED ABOUT THAT BEFORE?

YOU WEREN'T SATISFYING ME.

I WASN'T SATISFYING YOU SEXUALLY?

NO. AND DOES THAT OPEN THE DOOR

FOR YOU TO BE ABLE TO STEP OUT AND DO WHAT YOU WANT TO DO?

OF COURSE.

DID YOU ACTUALLY STEP OUT ON MEL?

ALRIGHT, HONESTLY, IT WAS SEXUAL.

¶¶

WHAT THE HELL IS HE TALKING ABOUT?

I'M TRYING TO MOVE ON FROM ALL MY MISTAKES,

WHICH I'M HOPING THAT EVERYONE ELSE WOULD, TOO,

AND IT PISSES ME OFF

THAT PEOPLE CONTINUOUSLY REMIND ME OF THINGS THAT'S IN THE PAST.

REALLY JUST NONSENSE.

LET'S GET PAST THAT.

THAT'S WHAT WE'RE TRYING TO GET PAST -- YOU LYING.

¶¶

COMING UP ON "LOVE & MARRIAGE: HUNTSVILLE --

MELODY'S SPECIAL DELIVERY"...

DESTINY -- SHE SAID I OFFENDED HER!

HOW?

I SAID, "WHO ARE THESE PEOPLE?"

THANK YOU FOR COMING. YOU'RE WELCOME.

YOU LOOK GOOD.

ARE YOU ALLOWED TO ESCORT ANYONE OUT?

YES. GREAT. OKAY.

SO LET ME SHOW YOU. [ GASPS ]

I'M SORRY, BABE. OH, HELL, NO!

HOW ARE YOU? GOOD. HOW ARE YOU?

I'M JUST GIVING YOU A CALL TO LET YOU KNOW

THAT WE'RE HEADED TO THE HOSPITAL.

I'LL BE HONEST. I'M A LITTLE NERVOUS.

NO REASON TO BE NERVOUS.

OHH. OH, MY GOODNESS.

¶¶

YOU NEED THAT VALIDATION, AND SO THE SEX HELPED VALIDATE YOU --

I AIN'T SAID I HAD SEX WITH NOBODY.

SHUT UP, MARCUS.

YOU'VE ALREADY SAID THAT YOU HAD SEX.

LET'S GET PAST THAT.

THAT'S WHAT WE'RE TRYING TO GET PAST -- YOU LYING.

¶¶

THERE ARE CERTAIN THINGS THAT I DON'T WANT TO REVISIT.

YOU KNOW, THE REASON I BROUGHT YOU HERE IS TO, LIKE --

JUST TO REASSURE YOU THAT...IT IS OVER,

BECAUSE I KNOW THAT YOUR SISTER LOVES YOU DEEPLY, YOU KNOW?

SO I WANT TO GIVE YOU THAT RESPECT

AND LET YOU KNOW IT'S SOMETHING

THAT I DON'T WANT TO REVISIT EVER.

THIS IS GOING TO BE OUR LAST CONVERSATION

ABOUT THE THINGS THAT I'VE DONE IN THE PAST.

I'VE LET HIM EXPRESS HIMSELF,

AND HE'S GOING TO ACCEPT ME.

I MEAN, THAT'S IT.

IN THE CONVERSATION WE HAD AT MY HOUSE

THAT'S BEEN ABOUT A YEAR AND A HALF...

MM-HMM.

...YOU WERE, LIKE, SAYING WHAT YOU SAYING NOW.

YEAH. SO, TO ME, IT'S KIND OF LIKE,

"DO I BELIEVE WHAT YOU'RE SAYING NOW

AS I BELIEVED IT AT THE TABLE?"

I JUST WANT YOU TO KEEP IN YOUR MIND

THAT THIS TIME, MARK MY WORD,

THAT WHAT I PUT HER THROUGH,

IT WOULD NEVER HAPPEN AGAIN.

I'M LOOKING FOR ACTIONS.

¶¶

¶¶

¶¶

[ DOORBELL RINGS ]

WHAT'S UP, GIRL?

HEY, MARTELL! HOW YOU DOING?

SURPRISE, SURPRISE. THAT'S WHAT WE DO NOW?

WE JUST DO DROP-BYS? YEP, I'M IN THE AREA.

I DIDN'T LIKE WHERE MAURICE AND I --

OUR CONVERSATION LEFT OFF AT THE BABY SHOWER.

SO I'M IN THE NEIGHBORHOOD

WORKING ON A COUPLE OF PROJECTS FOR HOLT & HOLT,

AND I JUST WANT TO JUST MAKE SURE

THAT KIMMI AND MAURICE, I KNOW THEY'RE SCOTTS,

BUT JUST MAKING SURE THAT THEY STILL WANT TO BE,

YOU KNOW, FRIENDS WITH US.

HOW Y'ALL BEEN? GOOD.

MAN, I MEAN RIGHT NOW

SHE'S LIKE THE HAPPIEST SHE'S BEEN IN A LONG TIME,

YOU KNOW WHAT I'M TALKING ABOUT? WELL, THAT'S GOOD.

SO THAT'S EFFORT THAT I'M PUTTING IN,

THAT SHE'S PUTTING IN AS WELL. WELL, WHILE SHE'S THE HAPPIEST,

[BLEEP] SEEMS LIKE THE UNHAPPIEST.

SHE'S THE SIDE CHICK. DON'T EVEN SAY HER NAME.

I'M NOT GOING TO CALL HER A SIDE CHICK,

AND WE DON'T HAVE TO TALK ABOUT IT.

BUT I'M JUST SAYING IT'S UNFORTUNATE

THAT SO MANY DIFFERENT PEOPLE ARE LIKE COLLATERAL DAMAGE.

I DON'T FEEL LIKE AT THIS JUNCTURE,

"OH, THAT'S WHAT SHE DESERVES,"

BECAUSE MEL DON'T DESERVE IT, YOU KNOW WHAT I'M SAYING?

OH YEAH, RIGHT. TO BE HURT AND SAD

AND EMBARRASSED OR ANY OF THAT. YES, YES.

SO NOBODY DESERVES IT AS A HUMAN, NOBODY.

EXCEPT FOR ME, YOU KNOW, I THINK I'VE PUT EVERYBODY THROUGH THIS

BY TRYING TO BE GREEDY AND THINGS OF THAT NATURE.

YOU KNOW WHAT I'M TALKING ABOUT?

YOU DON'T SOUND LIKE YOU'RE PLACING BLAME.

OWN WHAT HAPPENED, SAY, "I'M SORRY," IT'S TIME TO MOVE ON.

IN MY OPINION...

YOU'RE JUST A NICE GUY, MARTELL.

MAYBE TOO NICE, MAYBE THAT'S WHAT GOT YOU IN TROUBLE.

I'M GOING TO TAKE IT.

YOU KNOW, MEL AND I, WE TALKED ABOUT THAT,

AND THAT'S WHAT SHE SAID.

MY HEART REALLY KEPT ME IN THAT MESS.

YOU GOOD, RIGHT? YEAH.

I TYPICALLY SAY MARTELL HAS A BIG HEART, AND HE DOES.

I THINK THAT'S WHAT CAUSES HIM A LOT OF HIS ANGST

IN SEVERING CERTAIN RELATIONSHIPS OR ENDING,

YOU KNOW, DIFFERENT SITUATIONS.

AND HE THINKS WITH HIS HEART INSTEAD OF KIND OF SOMETIMES

YOU'VE GOT TO GET THINGS FIGURED OUT WITH YOUR HEAD.

LIKE HE'S A SUPER SWEET GUY, TILL YOU BACK HIM IN A CORNER.

BUT HE'S SUPER SWEET.

WITH ALL THIS STUFF BEING SAID, I'M DONE WITH ALL OF THAT.

NOW I WANT TO GET BACK TO THE REASON I CAME OVER HERE,

IS TO, YOU KNOW, JUST TO AGAIN THANK YOU GUYS

FOR COMING TO THE BABY SHOWER.

WELL OF COURSE, YOU DON'T HAVE TO THANK US FOR THAT.

BECAUSE YOU COULD HAVE, I'M NOT GONNA SAY PICK SIDES,

BUT YOU COULD HAVE BEEN LIKE, "OKAY.

THIS IS MY FAMILY RIGHT HERE,

AND I DON'T WANT THEM FEELING NO KIND OF WAY."

YOU GUYS LOVE US THAT MUCH THAT YOU STILL CAME IN SPITE OF,

SO WE APPRECIATE THAT.

IT NEVER OCCURRED TO US NOT TO GO,

BECAUSE AS FRIENDS WE'VE ALWAYS DONE BIG STUFF.

I'M GLAD Y'ALL ARE ON THE RIGHT PATH.

THE SHOWER WAS BEAUTIFUL, BY THE WAY, IF I DIDN'T SAY THAT.

HOWEVER, YOUR FRIEND CAME UP TO ME.

YEAH. DESTINY.

SHE SAID I OFFENDED HER.

ARE YOU SERIOUS? HOW?

I SAID...

"WHO ARE THESE PEOPLE?" [ Laughing ] OH, NO.

COMING UP ON "LOVE & MARRIAGE: HUNTSVILLE --

MELODY'S SPECIAL DELIVERY"...

AND YOU KNOW I HATE MYSELF FOR EVERYTHING

THAT I PUT YOU THOUGHT, YOU KNOW YOU DON'T DESERVE IT,

SO THE THING IS I REALLY WANT TO BE EVERYTHING

THAT YOU WANT YOUR HUSBAND TO BE.

THAT I KNOW GOD PUT US TOGETHER,

BETTER OR WORSE, YOU SHOWED ME THAT YOU'RE GOING TO BE THERE.

¶¶

DESTINY, SHE SAID I OFFENDED HER.

ARE YOU SERIOUS? HOW?

I SAID...

"WHO ARE THESE PEOPLE?" [ Laughing ] OH, NO.

WHEN? HOW? I SWEAR TO GOD.

GAME NIGHT.

AND THAT WAS OFFENSIVE TO HER.

YEAH. "WHO ARE THESE PE--" YOU ARE SO --

WELL, I IF DON'T KNOW YOU, I DON'T KNOW YOU.

HOW IS THAT OFFENSIVE?

BUT YOU DON'T HAVE TO VERBALIZE THAT.

SOME STUFF THAT COME OUT MY MOUTH IS INTENTIONAL

AND SOME STUFF, YOU KNOW --

I THINK MOST THINGS COME OUT YOUR MOUTH

IS INTENTIONAL, I THINK.

YOU KNOW DESTINY, SHE WOULD POP OFF, TOO,

SO I DON'T KNOW IF THAT'S WHY SHE MENTIONED THAT TO YOU,

JUST TRYING TO SEE WHAT YOU WAS GOING TO SAY.

I WAS A LITTLE TAKEN ABACK.

SHE WAS READY TO OPEN UP A CAN OF WHUPASS.

AIN'T NONE OF THAT. [ CHUCKLES ]

SHE'S A LITTLE BIT WORSE THAN YOU, I WOULD SAY.

LET ME BE REAL WITH YOU. YOU DON'T A COOKIE

FOR BEING A STAND-UP GUY, BEING A HUSBAND.

DO YOU KNOW WHY I SHOULD GET A COOKIE?

BECAUSE MOST MEN DON'T HAVE THOSE QUALITIES.

WE'RE NOT TALKING ABOUT MOST MEN?

WE'RE TALKING ABOUT THAT HAVE MORAL STANDARDS

AND MORAL COMPASSES.

SHE AIN'T NO TISHA, THOUGH, I'LL TELL YOU THAT.

WHY ARE YOU BEING --

WHERE'S YOUR UMBRELLA WITH ALL THE SHADE? GOD!

KIMMI AND DESTINY -- THEY ARE SO SIMILAR

THAT I THINK THEY REALLY CAN BECOME GOOD FRIENDS.

WE DEFINITELY DO NOT NEED THEM

TO COME TO ANOTHER TISHA AND MELODY.

THEY'RE REALLY GOOD PEOPLE. LA'BERRICK.

HE SEEMS QUIET. YEAH, YEAH,

I'M GUESSING UNTIL HE GETS TO KNOW YOU.

OH, OKAY.

I THINK HE'S A LITTLE BIT LIKE ME, A LITTLE BIT.

WE DON'T NEED TWO MARTELLS. [ CHUCKLES ]

ONE MARTELL IS ALL WE NEED.

[ LAUGHS ]

¶¶

Martell: HEY, BABE.

HEY, BOO.

I KNOW YOU FORGOT SOMETHING.

SOME OF THE MORE IMPORTANT THING.

YEP, I NEED THAT.

YEAH, INSTEAD OF USING THE HOSPITAL, WE CAN USE THIS ONE.

MM-HMM. THIS HOSPITAL BAG GOT TO BE TOGETHER

'CAUSE I CAN'T BE UP IN THERE HALF-STEPPING.

AND I'VE GOT MY TOOTHBRUSH, TOOTHPASTE.

DO YOU HAVE YOUR SNACKS? NO.

WELL, LET'S GET SOME SNACKA-WHACKERS.

OKAY, WELL IF YOU SAY SO.

WE'RE PACKING THE GRAND HOSPITAL BAG

AND TOMORROW I AM BEING INDUCED. IT'S BEEN 39 WEEKS,

SO I KNOW THAT MY LITTLE GIRL IS VERY WELL DEVELOPED

AND READY TO MAKE HER GRAND DEBUT TO THE WORLD

AND I HAVE A LOT OF THINGS TO DO, TOO.

I'M UNVEILING MY SKINCARE LINE, MBRACE BEAUTY,

IN JUST FIVE WEEKS.

I NEED TO BE READY FOR MY EVENT PHYSICALLY AND MENTALLY.

I'M NOT TOO THRILLED THAT YOU'RE DOING SUCH A BIG EVENT

SO CLOSE TO THE BABY BEING BORN. THAT'S WHY I HAVE YOU.

[ CHUCKLES ] YEAH. MWAH!

THE BAR THAT YOU LOVE.

OKAY, GIVE IT TO ME. MAKE SURE YOU CATCH IT.

[ GROANS ] MARTELL,

AND I'VE STILL GOT TO GET ONE MORE THING.

WHAT'S THAT? STOP! WHAT IN THE --

WHAT IN THE HELL?! [ LAUGHS ]

WHAT IS THIS? LET'S SEE WHAT THIS IS, BABY.

WHAT IS THIS? FOR THE BABY? IT'S A TREAT.

I DON'T THINK IT'S EDIBLE THOUGH.

YOU EDIBLE. [ CHUCKLES ]

BUT, NO, THIS IS A PUSH GIFT.

A PUSH GIFT? YEAH.

SO, THIS IS A GIFT GIVEN FOR, YOU KNOW, LIKE, YOU KNOW,

FOR US TO REMEMBER THIS MOMENT.

REALLY? YOU GOT ME A PUSH GIFT?

YES.

SO, THIS IS A TENNIS BRACELET.

WHAT IN THE -- MARTELL.

WELL DESERVING. YOU'RE GOING TO MAKE ME CRY.

WELL, DON'T CRY. NO, WHY DID YOU DO THAT?

[ CHUCKLES ]

BECAUSE IT'S SOMETHING THAT YOU KNOW THAT YOU DESERVE

AND YOU KNOW I HATE MYSELF FOR EVERYTHING I PUT YOU THROUGH.

YOU KNOW YOU DON'T DESERVE IT.

SO THE THING IS I REALLY WANT TO BE EVERYTHING

THAT YOU WANT YOUR HUSBAND TO BE, YOU KNOW?

LIKE I ALWAYS SAID, THE DAY I MET YOU

THAT I KNOW GOD PUT US TOGETHER

AND FOR BETTER OR WORSE YOU SHOWED ME

THAT YOU'RE GOING TO BE THERE. AND THIS IS JUST A SMALL TOKEN.

OHH. [ CRYING ]

I LOVE YOU, OKAY?

Melody: WHEN I THINK OF "FOR BETTER OR FOR WORSE,"

I THINK OF, THE FIRST THING,

THE ACKNOWLEDGMENT THAT THERE ARE GOING TO BE SOME TIMES

THAT AREN'T ALWAYS GREAT.

I REALLY HOPE THAT THIS POSITIVE PLACE

THAT MY MARRIAGE IS IN WILL LAST.

I AM OPTIMISTIC ABOUT THAT.

I MEAN WE'VE BOTH BEEN GOING THROUGH HELL THIS PAST,

WHAT, TWO YEARS, FOR REAL,

AND GOD SHOWED ME THAT'S NOT WHAT HE WANTS FOR US.

I'M TURNING THINGS AROUND, FOR US, YOU KNOW, AND --

I KNEW YOU COULD DO IT.

YEAH? YOU SEE A CHANGE?

MM-HMM. I DO.

WHEN MELODY MENTIONS THAT SHE SEES THE CHANGE IN ME,

IT MAKES ME FEEL LIKE I HAVE A NEW LIFE.

YOU KNOW, AT ONE POINT IN OUR MARRIAGE,

YOU KNOW, EVERYTHING WAS REALLY, YOU KNOW, PERFECT,

AND I FEEL FOR HER TO ACKNOWLEDGE

THAT SHE SEES A CHANGE IN ME ALMOST MAKE ME FEEL LIKE THINGS

ARE GETTING BACK PERFECT AGAIN.

AND THAT'S WHAT I WANTED TO GET BACK TO.

I LOVE YOU, ALRIGHT? I LOVE YOU, TOO. MM.

¶¶

COMING UP ON "LOVE & MARRIAGE: HUNTSVILLE --

MELODY'S SPECIAL DELIVERY"...

SHOWTIME. OH, MAN.

AS SOON AS THE DOCTOR ARRIVES, THE BABY WILL BE HERE.

SO, MOMENTS AWAY.

[ HEART BEATING ]

¶¶

¶¶

Mariah: HEY, MOM? Melody: HUH, MARIAH?

WHENEVER YOU PUSH FOR BABIES TO COME OUT, DOES IT HURT?

YEAH, IT DOES HURT, BABY.

SO DON'T YOU EVER THINK ABOUT IT

UNTIL YOU GET LIKE 30-SOMETHING, OKAY?

WELL, I DON'T THINK I'M EVERY GOING TO BE PREGNANT, THOUGH.

OH, OKAY. WELL, WE'LL SEE, BABY.

AIN'T NOTHING WRONG WITH BEING PREGNANT.

IT'S GREAT TO BE ABLE TO BRING LIFE INTO THE WORLD.

BUT YOU HAVE TO BE OVER 30 YEARS OLD, THOUGH.

AND YOU GOT TO BE MARRIED AND ALL THAT STUFF, OKAY?

WELL, I DON'T THINK I WANT TO BE MARRIED.

WHY DON'T YOU WANT TO BE MARRIED?

BECAUSE BOYS ARE JUST LIKE... THEY'RE HORRIBLE.

...TOO MUCH. YES, WE ARE.

YOU SAID BOYS ARE TOO MUCH?

YEAH. OH, OKAY.

WE ARE MORE THAN READY FOR BABY NUMBER 4 TO ARRIVE.

OH, I CAN'T WAIT TO MEET HER, RUB HER LITTLE HANDS,

HER LITTLE TOES, KISS HER LITTLE CHEEKS.

YEP, AND I PRAY EVERYTHING GOES WELL,

BECAUSE WE NEVER INDUCED LABOR BEFORE.

YEAH, THAT'S TRUE, WE HAVEN'T.

BUT YOU KNOW WHAT? I'M A LITTLE NERVOUS, TOO.

I'LL BE HONEST, I'M A LITTLE NERVOUS.

NO REASON TO BE NERVOUS.

ALL MY OTHER BABIES WERE BORN AT 38 WEEKS. THEY WERE FINE.

DR. PETERSON HAS BEEN DOING THIS FOR A VERY LONG TIME

AND SHE HAS ASSURED US THAT EVERYTHING WILL WORK OUT FINE.

YEAH. SO, YEAH.

SO WE'RE GOING TO ROLL WITH WHAT SHE SAYS.

I TOTALLY AGREE. WE GOING TO BE ALRIGHT.

SHE'S GOING TO BE ALRIGHT.

THE BABY'S GOING TO BE ALRIGHT. SHE WILL BE.

[ Ringing ]

HEY, MAMA HOLT, THIS IS MELODY. HOW YOU DOING?

Marlene: I'M GOOD. HOW YOU DOING?

I'M GOOD. I WAS JUST GIVING YOU A CALL TO LET YOU KNOW

THAT WE'RE HEADED TO THE HOSPITAL.

SHE GOING TO COME TONIGHT?

WELL, I DON'T KNOW. WE'LL SEE.

[ CHUCKLES ] MM! [ LAUGHS ]

THAT'LL BE IT. OKAY.

MARTELL, YOU WANT TO SAY ANYTHING TO YOUR MOM?

LOVE YOU, MOM. BYE, MAMA. UH-HUH.

[ SPEAKS INDISTINCTLY ] [ CHUCKLES ]

BYE-BYE.

OHH.

MAMA HOLT AND MY MOM, MISS VANESSA,

ARE ON THEIR WAY TO THE HOSPITAL

TO HELP TAKE CARE OF THE KIDS.

AND IT'S SO GREAT TO HAVE JUST SUPPORTIVE MOMS LIKE WE DO.

WE WISH OUR FATHERS COULD BE HERE, BUT WE'RE WORKING ON THAT.

[ MONITOR BEEPS ]

Melody: GOODNESS. Martell: HEY, BABE.

SORRY YOU'RE FEELING A LITTLE PAIN

GETTING THOSE CONTRACTIONS COMING, BACK TO BACK TO BACK.

WATER JUST BROKE.

I FEEL THE PAIN, TOO.

WHAT YOU FEEL. I FEEL.

IT IS 11:42 P.M.

I'M GONNA HAVE A CONTRACTION RIGHT NOW

'CAUSE YOU'RE BOTHERING ME.

OKAY. I'M GOING TO STOP BOTHERING YOU.

OHH.

OH, MY GOODNESS. MNH.

LET'S SEE WHERE YOU ARE.

THAT CONTRACTION IS SERIOUS? IT'S NOT THAT BAD, BABE.

LEAVE ME ALONE.

OOH, OOH.

OHH.

COME ON, BABE! THIS IS A HUGE MOMENT IN OUR LIVES.

ONE DAY WE'RE GOING TO WANT TO GO BACK

AND TAKE A LOOK AT ALL THIS AMAZING FOOTAGE.

RIGHT NOW YOU MIGHT NOT APPRECIATE IT,

'CAUSE YOU'RE IN ALL THIS PAIN AND FEELING SOME TYPE OF WAY,

BUT TRUST ME, YEARS FROM NOW, YOU'RE GOING TO LOVE IT

THAT WE RECORDED. TIME WILL TELL.

I SURE HOPE THAT THIS EPIDURAL KICKS IN REALLY QUICKLY,

BECAUSE RIGHT NOW YOU'RE WORKING MY NERVES.

ALRIGHT, BABE, YOU'RE LOOKING LIKE YOU'RE FEELING

A LOT BETTER.

NOT A LOT BETTER, JUST A LITTLE BIT BETTER.

WHAT HAPPENED? I JUST GOT THE EPIDURAL.

OH, MY GOSH, HAD A NEEDLE IN YOUR BACK.

ALL READY TO GO THROUGH THE PAIN.

YOU'RE SAYING THAT 'CAUSE YOU'VE NEVER HAD THE PAIN.

NO, IT MIGHT HAVE BEEN THE SAME PAIN WHEN MY --

GALL BLADDER? NAH. GALL BLADDER.

I THINK THAT PAIN SUPERSEDES ALL OF THIS.

OH, NO, IT DOESN'T.

TYPICAL MAN. SEE WHAT I'M SAYING?

BABE, FOR IT TO HAVE BROKEN ME DOWN...

[ SNORTS ]

JUST AS I'M ABOUT TO REACH OUT AND STRANGLE MARTELL...

OOH! THE LIFESAVER CAME THROUGH AT THE RIGHT TIME,

WHICH WAS THE EPIDURAL.

AND I'M GOING TO BE REAL WITH YOU,

YOU JUST FEEL LIKE YOU'RE ON CLOUD 20,

DESPITE THE FACT THAT YOU'RE REALLY IN LABOR.

SO...

HOW ARE YOU FEELING, THOUGH? I FEEL GOOD RIGHT NOW.

OH, PFFT.

BUT THOSE CONTRACTIONS WERE NO JOKE EARLIER.

MM-HMM.

YOU GOT TO PUT THIS DOWN SOMETIME. WHAT DO YOU THINK?

PUT WHAT DOWN? WELL, STOP WORKING.

NO.

I STOP WORKING WHEN I'M PUSHING.

DO YOU REALLY NEED TO BE WORKING WHILE YOU'RE IN THE HOSPITAL?

THOSE BAD CONTRACTIONS YOU HAD EARLIER MADE ME NERVOUS.

IT'S NOT LIKE I'M STRESSING. I'M JUST ANSWERING SOME E-MAILS

ABOUT THE MBRACE BEAUTY LAUNCH EVENT.

IT'S EASY STUFF, EASY BREEZY.

DA-DA, RESPOND, CLICK, ENTER.

WHAT'S WRONG WITH THAT? PUT THAT DAMN LAPTOP DOWN.

STOP WORKING.

I'M 10 CENTIMETERS. IT'S SHOWTIME.

OH, MAN.

THAT'S SERIOUS.

SO, WAITING ON THE DOCTOR TO GET HERE.

LITERALLY, AS SOON AS THE DOCTOR ARRIVES, THE BABY WILL BE HERE.

SO, MOMENTS AWAY. EXCITEDLY.

AS MY CONTRACTIONS NOW HAVE GOT EVEN CLOSER,

WE KNOW THAT THIS BABY IS REALLY ALMOST HERE,

SO THE NURSE DOES THE CHECK, AND SHE IS LIKE,

"OH, YEAH. SO, YEAH, I'M TOUCHING THE HAIR.

OH, SHE'S GOT A HEAD FULL OF HAIR,"

AND I'M LIKE, "OKAY."

AND THEN SHE'S LIKE, "YOU WANT TO TOUCH?"

I'M LIKE, "NO, THANK YOU." [ LAUGHS ]

¶¶

SO, LITERALLY, BY THE TIME THE DOCTOR WALKS IN,

THE NURSE TELLS ME, "THIS BABY'S REALLY ALMOST HERE."

YOU DON'T NEED TO BREATHE, YOU DON'T NEED TO TALK,

YOU DON'T NEED TO DO ANYTHING.

OH. OH, WHOA.

CONGRATULATIONS. OH, WOW!

AWW. [ BABY CRYING ]

THAT'S THE BABY DOING THAT ON HER OWN.

THAT'S BEAUTIFUL. LISTEN TO THAT CRY.

LISTEN TO THAT CRY.

YEAH, HI.

[ BABY CRYING, INDISTINCT CONVERSATION ]

PERFECT. YES.

[ Laughing ] OH-HO-HO.

LOOKING LIKE A CHAMP, GOOD JOB, BABE.

THAT'S WHAT I'M TALKING ABOUT.

ONE PUSH -- BOOM.

THAT BIRTH RIGHT THERE? YEAH.

THAT WAS THE EASIEST MONEY A DOCTOR COULD POSSIBLY MAKE.

¶¶

IT IS DONE, JUST LIKE THAT, HUH?

AH.

AWW.

I JUST LOVE HER SO MUCH. LIKE, THAT'S MY LITTLE PUMPKIN.

MISSION ACCOMPLISHED, GREAT JOB, GIRL.

AAH! [ CHUCKLES ]

WE'VE HAD OVER 4,000 NAME SUGGESTIONS,

SO WHAT DO YOU THINK WE SHOULD NAME OUR BEAUTIFUL LITTLE GIRL?

I MEAN, ME PERSONALLY, I THINK I'D LIKE MALANI,

WHICH MALIAH HAS BEEN SAYING FOR MONTHS

THAT HER NAME IS GOING TO BE MALANI.

HMM, MALANI.

OKAY. I MEAN, I'M FOR IT.

WE COULD DO MALANI MONEY HOLT. [ CHUCKLES ]

THE BIRTH OF THE NEW BABY --

SHE SIGNIFIES US LIKE A NEW CHAPTER,

A BRAND-NEW CHAPTER IN OUR LIVES.

FOR ME, I THINK THAT MALANI'S BIRTH SIGNIFIES THE PROMISE

THAT GOD IS WITH ME, AND I SAY THAT

BECAUSE WHEN I THINK ABOUT ALL THE STRESS

AND EVERYTHING THAT WE HAVE BEEN GOING THROUGH

WHILE I WAS PREGNANT WITH HER, THE FACT THAT SHE'S HERE,

SHE'S HEALTHY, YOU KNOW WHAT I MEAN,

LIKE, I'M JUST LIKE, WOW, GOD, YOU REALLY ARE WITH ME.

NOW, MARTELL, I'M RECORDING YOU. WHAT YOU OVER THERE DOING?

ROCKING HER. JUST FED HER.

SHE WAS CRYING A LITTLE BIT, SO...BABY NUMBER 4,

SO I GOT THIS ROCKING DOWN PAT.

I BET YOU DO. WHAT HAS SHE BEEN ON?

KNOCKED OUT. AWW.

COMING UP ON "LOVE & MARRIAGE: HUNTSVILLE --

MELODY'S SPECIAL DELIVERY"...

I THINK YOU'RE JUST DOING TOO MUCH.

WELL, NOW THAT YOU'RE 100% IN THE HOUSE NOW,

THE MARTELL THAT I KNOW, THE TEAM MARTELL,

NOW MAYBE WON'T BE SO TOUGH.

I WANT TO THANK ALL OF YOU SO MUCH FOR COMING OUT TONIGHT,

BEING SUPPORTIVE OF WHAT HAS BEEN MY BABY

THE PAST TWO YEARS.

HOLD ON.

¶¶

¶¶

OH, LOOK AT THIS!

BANG. GOOD JOB, LINDSEY. OH, MY GOD!

YAY! THIS LOOKS SO GOOD.

AS SOON AS I HAD MY BABY, I WAS RIGHT BACK TO WORK

ON MY NEW SKINCARE LINE.

WE'RE THROWING THIS LAUNCH EVENT TONIGHT

WHERE WE'RE INVITING SPECIAL CLOSE FRIENDS AND FAMILY

TO COME AND EXPERIENCE A LITTLE BIT

OF WHAT MBRACE IS ALL ABOUT.

AND I'M JUST SO THRILLED, JUST --

MARTELL, PINCH ME A LITTLE BIT BECAUSE I MEAN I'M JUST --

I'M OVER THE TOP. IT'S REAL, BABY.

OH, IS IT REAL? IT'S REAL.

IT'S REAL! AAAAAH! THAT HARD WORK PAYS OFF.

OHH. BEAUTIFUL.

NOW, GIRL, I REMEMBER YOU CALLED ME,

TALKING ABOUT THE COOKIES WEREN'T RIGHT.

LET ME COME SEE. MY TEAM IS ON POINT.

AH-HA-HA! VERY CLASSY.

OH, Y'ALL GOT SOME OF THE PRODUCT UP HERE, YAY!

AND THE GREENERY. IT'S REALLY COMING TO LIFE!

MM-HMM. I THINK THIS HUG GOES TO YOU.

YEAH, YOU TOO! YOU TOO! OHH!

I'M GLAD YOU LIKE IT, MEL.

LINDSEY PROBABLY TIRED OF ME, HELL, BECAUSE I'M BEEN ALL THAT.

TIRED IS A UNDERSTATEMENT, MARTELL,

TIRED IS A UNDERSTATEMENT. NO, I SAID TIRED OF ME.

YEAH, RIGHT. IT'S A UNDERSTATEMENT.

IT'S A UNDERSTATEMENT. TIRED IS A UNDERSTATEMENT.

SEE, THAT'S WRONG, LINDSEY. THAT'S WRONG.

MARTELL AND I BOTH ARE REALLY TIRED, OKAY?

BUT IT'S ALL WORTH THE SACRIFICE TO SEE MY DREAM COMING TRUE.

IT'S CALLED INVESTMENT, SACRIFICE,

INVESTMENT OF MONEY, ENERGY, TIME,

BUT AT THE END, THE RESULT IS AMAZING.

MBRACE!

HOW YOU FEELING? I'M FINE.

YEAH? A LITTLE TIRED.

IN FACT, COME ROLL MY SHOULDERS FOR ME A LITTLE BIT.

WELL, I THINK YOU'VE JUST BEEN DOING A BIT TOO MUCH.

WHY YOU SAY THAT? JUST BECAUSE.

OH, YES.

I THINK YOU JUST DOING TOO MUCH.

YES, MY MIND IS ALL OVER THE PLACE SOMETIMES.

THIS MBRACE THING IS AMAZING,

BUT WE HAVE SO MANY IRONS IN THE FIRE --

ALL OUR BUSINESSES, OUR NEW BABY, AND NOW MBRACE.

IT'S JUST A LOT, AND I'M WORKING MYSELF TO THE BONE TO MAKE SURE IT WORKS.

DON'T TRY TO DO TOO MUCH.

YOU KNOW WHAT I'M TALKING ABOUT? MNH-MNH.

YOU'RE RUNNING EVERYTHING AT 60%, 50%,

I DON'T THINK IT'S EVEN WORTH HAVING OR WORTH DOING.

WHO SAID ANYTHING'S BEING RUN AT 50% OR 60%?

I FEEL LIKE I'M RUNNING EVERY DAMN THING AT 100%.

WELL, I HOPE NOT, 'CAUSE I AIN'T [BLEEP] BRINGING IN NO MONEY RIGHT NOW.

NONE OF THAT! SO THE ONLY THING I KNOW IS --

IS THAT CORRECT? ONLY THING I KNOW IS

THOUSANDS OF DOLLARS GOING OUT ON THIS,

THOUSANDS OF DOLLARS GOING OUT ON THAT.

GOT TO DO BETTER. YOU ALREADY KNOW WHAT'S UP.

HOW THAT FEEL?

THAT FEELS A LOT BETTER, ACTUALLY.

YEAH, YOU KNOW WHAT THAT'S FROM, RIGHT?

WHAT? FROM THE ACCIDENT.

YOU GOTTA BE CAREFUL, MAN.

YES, I GOT INTO A MINOR FENDER-BENDER YESTERDAY.

BUT [BLEEP] GIVE ME A BREAK!

I AIN'T HAD AN ACCIDENT IN A LONG TIME.

I MEAN, WELL, FIRST, IT WASN'T MINOR.

IT'S PROBABLY GOING TO BE

ABOUT $12,000 WORTH OF DAMAGE ON THE CAR.

AND NOT HAD AN ACCIDENT IN FOREVER?

NO, YOU HAD ONE PROBABLY LAST YEAR.

NO, THAT WAS FOUR YEARS AGO. AND --

NO, YOU GOT TOO MUCH ON YOUR PLATE.

LET'S TRY TO DO A FEW THINGS AND DO THEM WELL.

WELL, NOW THAT YOU'RE 100% IN THE HOUSE NOW,

THE MARTELL THAT I KNOW, THE TEAM MARTELL,

MEL AND MARTELL, HOLT, HOLT, THAT,

NOW MAYBE WON'T BE SO TOUGH.

HMM.

BUT STILL, YOU NEED TO SKETCH

ABOUT THREE OR FOUR THINGS OFF YOUR TO-DO LIST, THOUGH.

BUT, ANYWAY, ARE YOU READY? YOU PUMPED?

YOU READY?! YOU PUMPED?!

LET'S GO! LET'S GO!

EVERYTHING I SAID, WIPE IT OUT, ALRIGHT?

HOW YOU GONNA TALK [BLEEP] BEFORE MY EVENT AND SAY, "WIPE IT OUT"?

OH, BECAUSE YOU GOTTA KEEP [BLEEP] IN YOU MIND.

YEAH, YOU GOT TO KEEP IT. I MEAN, THIS IS REAL.

JUST LIKE A MAN.

¶¶

¶ UNH ¶

¶ HA ¶

¶ WHOO! I'M FEELING HOT ¶

[ CHEERS AND APPLAUSE ]

HEY!

HEY, EVERYBODY!

HEY! HEY! HEEEEEY!

HUG. [ LAUGHS ]

Melody: THIS IS IT!

I CANNOT WAIT TO INTRODUCE MBRACE BEAUTY TO THE WORLD!

COOL.

HATER.

¶¶

YEAH, I'M SO EXCITED FOR YOU, SWEETIE, MEL.

OH, THANK YOU. AND THE FOOD IS AWESOME, TOO.

CHEF NOBLE DID A GOOD JOB. YEAH.

SO, HOW Y'ALL BEEN DOING? HOW'S EVERYTHING GOING?

NEWLYWEDS! BABY ON THE WAY?

SHE SAYS SHE WASN'T GOING TO SHOW NOTHING TONIGHT, BUT...

OH, NO, GIRL. YOU SHOWING BEHIND THERE.

I'M HIDING IT AS MUCH AS I CAN WITH A LITTLE RUCHING.

YOU LOOK BEAUTIFUL, THOUGH. THANK YOU.

GLOWSING. GLOWSING?

SPEAKING OF BABIES, HOW'S LITTLE MALANI DOING?

OH, SHE'S DOING GOOD. GROWING. GROWING.

THAT'S WHAT WE NEED HER TO BE DOING.

YEAH, SHE'S STARTED SMILING AT US AND STUFF, YOU KNOW.

AWW. SHE'S GOT TO THAT PHASE NOW.

YEAH, KEEPING US UP. UH-HUH.

US. UH-HUH.

BECAUSE YOU'RE HELPING OUT?

SHE HELPS ME. FOR REAL, HE REALLY DOES.

OH, HELL! SEE, THERE HE GOES!

[ LAUGHS ]

¶¶

HEY! WHAT'S UP, KIMMI?! HEY, GIRL!

THANK YOU FOR COMING. YOU'RE WELCOME.

YOU LOOK GOOD.

WHAT'S UP, BABY? HOW YOU DOING?

LONG TIME, NO SEE. YEAH, BOY.

[ LAUGHTER ]

Kimmi: I'VE JUST RECENTLY MET DESTINY,

AND I GIVE YOU WHAT YOU GIVE ME.

IF I FEEL LIKE YOU'RE COMING TO ME SIDEWAYS,

THEN I COME TO YOU SIDEWAYS.

IF YOU'RE NOT PREPARED TO HANDLE IT,

DON'T BRING IT MY DOORSTEP.

MY MBRACE FAMILY.

YAY!

WOW, YOU GUYS JUST QUIETED DOWN ON YOUR OWN.

ALRIGHT. RIGHT.

WELL, I WANT TO THANK ALL OF YOU SO MUCH

FOR COMING OUT TONIGHT AND BEING SUPPORTIVE

OF WHAT HAS BEEN MY BABY THE PAST TWO YEARS

AND NOW WE'RE READY TO PUT IT OUT.

Y'ALL KNOW I'M VERY PARTICULAR, SO IT HAD TO BE RIGHT,

YOU KNOW, IT HAD TO BE RIGHT.

THIS IS OBIA, AND SHE IS A RENOWNED CHEMIST

WHO I HAVE HAD THE PLEASURE OF WORKING WITH

AND IRRITATING PROBABLY SOME THE PAST TWO YEARS.

THIS MOMENT RIGHT NOW JUST REALLY FEELS LIKE A DREAM.

I'VE LITERALLY BEEN WORKING ON THIS FOR TWO YEARS.

I DIDN'T WANT TO JUST THROW MY LABEL ON THINGS.

I WANTED TO MAKE SURE THAT IT WAS SOMETHING

I HAD A REAL PART IN AND THAT I WAS PROUD OF.

SO, I JUST HAD MY FOURTH BABY,

BUT MBRACE BEAUTY IS MY FIFTH BABY.

SO, AS A KID, I ACTUALLY SUFFERED FROM A SKIN CONDITION

CALLED PITYRIASIS ROSACEA

AND WHAT THAT IS IS PRETTY MUCH WHERE,

YOU KNOW, YOU GET A RASH CERTAIN TIMES OF THE YEAR.

FOR ME, IT WAS THE FALL TIME. I WOULD ALWAYS GET THIS RASH.

AND I DIDN'T EVEN KNOW WHAT IT WAS AT FIRST.

TURNED OUT SHE SUFFERED FROM PITYRIASIS ROSACEA, TOO.

SO IT WAS LIKE -- I WAS LIKE, "GIRL, WHAT?!

YOU TOO?! OKAY!" RIGHT?

SO IT WAS JUST REALLY A MATCH MADE IN HEAVEN

AND Y'ALL HAVE BEEN AMAZING HELPING ME

BRING MY BABY TO LIFE.

¶¶

THANK YOU. SO, YEAH, I MEAN, WHAT OMINI SAID IS TRUE.

YOU GUYS ARE GOING TO GET A CHANCE...

¶¶

...TO SEE SOME DEMONSTRATIONS HERE OF THE PRODUCT

IN JUST A MOMENT.

HOLD UP.

WHO ALLOWED TISHA TO COME IN,

AND WHY IN THE HELL IS SHE HERE,

AND WHY DID SHE THINK IT WAS OKAY FOR HER TO COME?

HOLD ON.

¶¶

THANK YOU.

SO, YEAH, I MEAN, WHAT OMINI SAID IS TRUE.

YOU GUYS ARE GOING TO GET A CHANCE

TO SEE SOME DEMONSTRATIONS HERE OF THE PRODUCT IN JUST A MOMENT.

HOLD ON.

I CAN'T BELIEVE THAT TISHA HAS THE AUDACITY TO CRASH MY EVENT.

LIKE, THIS IS MANY YEARS IN THE MAKING AND MANY DOLLARS SPENT.

THAT GIRL IS A LOOSE CANNON

AND I CANNOT HAVE HER AROUND TONIGHT.

LIKE, THERE'S A REASON THAT YOU WEREN'T INVITED.

YOU GUYS CONTINUE TO ENJOY, WE'RE GOING TO GET READY

TO SET UP AND START FOR OUR DEMONSTRATIONS

OF HOW TO USE THE PRODUCT.

IF YOU HAVEN'T GOT ANYTHING TO EAT, HELP YOURSELF.

HEY.

HI, LaTISHA!

HOW ARE YOU? I'M REALLY GOOD.

GOOD. GOOD TO SEE YOU. HOW ARE YOU?

YOU'RE SO PRETTY! THANK YOU.

I LIKE IT. I WASN'T EXPECTING TO SEE YOU.

I KNOW! I SURPRISED YOU, RIGHT?

WOW. THIS SHOULD BE INTERESTING.

Melody: I'M NOT READY TO HAVE A CONVERSATION WITH TISHA,

SO IN MY MIND, I'M LIKE, "I'M GOING TO GRAB MY MAN,

AND WE'RE ABOUT TO GO HAVE A SIDEBAR CONVERSATION

ON WHAT WE'RE GOING TO DO NEXT." SORRY, YOU DRUG YOUR MAN.

KIND OF DID, YEAH, BUT IT WAS A SERIOUS MATTER.

I DID NOT JUST SEE HER. YOU GOT THEM BOXING GLOVES?

IT'S SECURITY.

HEY, SECURITY, HI. ARE YOU ALLOWED --

I DON'T KNOW EXACTLY WHAT'S ALL ENTAILED WITH YOUR CONTRACT.

ARE YOU ALLOWED TO ESCORT ANYONE OUT

IF THEY'RE NOT SUPPOSED TO BE HERE?

YES. GREAT. OKAY. SO LET ME SHOW YOU.

[ GASPS ] I'M SORRY, BABE.

OH, HELL, NO!

I MEAN, IT'S A PRIVATE EVENT. OH, LORD!

WHAT DID YOU THINK THIS IS? I'M GONNA PASS OUT!

I DON'T PLAY -- OKAY, SHE'S RIGHT THERE

IN THE YELLOW POLKA DOTS. HELP YOURSELF, SIR.

LET HER KNOW IT'S A PRIVATE EVENT

AND SHE'S GOING TO HAVE TO LEAVE. THANK YOU.

GOOD TO SEE YOU. I KNOW!

I HAVEN'T SEEN YOU IN FOREVER.

YES. GOOD. Man: HOW ARE YOU?

GOOD. HOW ARE YOU? GOOD.

I'M LaTISHA SCOTT.

YOU LOOK VERY NICE. YES?

WHY?

¶¶

DON'T PLAY WITH ME.

THIS SEASON

ON "LOVE & MARRIAGE: HUNTSVILLE"...

[BLEEP] NO.

Kimmi: WHEN THINGS LIKE THIS HAPPEN,

SOMEBODY'S GOING TO FEEL LIKE YOU'RE ON THE OTHER TEAM.

I CAN'T WAIT TO TALK TO KIMMI,

'CAUSE I'M KIND OF TIRED OF HER PLAYING MEDIATOR AND [BLEEP]

YOU SHOULD HAVE MY BACK.

KIMMI JUST SEEM LIKE IT'S JUST SOMETHING ISN'T RIGHT.

ARE YOU A TRUE SCOTT,

OR YOU DOWN WITH THE HOLTS? ZIP IT.

I FEEL LIKE THAT'S BEING VERY SHADY!

SO, THERE'S THIS AMAZING LADY PUTTING TOGETHER THIS STAGE PLAY,

AND SHE WANTS YOU TO BE A PART. WOW!

I DON'T WANT YOU TO DO THE PLAY.

HOW DO YOU DO ALL OF THAT?

[ CRYING ]

I TOLD YOU IT WAS BEST LEFT.

WHEN YOUR WIFE SAYING SOMETHING LIKE THAT TO YOU,

YOU DON'T JUMP THAT TO YOU!

YOU DON'T TALK TO ME LIKE THAT. WELL, GET ON.

YOU'VE BEEN A LITTLE BUSY. THAT'S KIND OF WHY

YOU'RE NOT LEAVING YOUR JOB? WHAT?

FOR HIM TO WANT ME TO GO FULL-TIME INTO REAL ESTATE,

IT'S A TOUGHIE.

I'M NOT TRYING TO MAKE YOU A HOUSEWIFE.

I'M NOT YOU. I'M NOT AN ENTREPRENEUR.

WHEN I WAKE UP IN THE MORNING, I'M BY MYSELF.

WHEN YOU'RE AT EVENTS AND STUFF LIKE THAT,

I'M BY MYSELF, SO I AM ALONE.

WHEN GUYS FEEL LIKE THEY'RE ALONE,

THAT'S NORMALLY WHEN THEY START HAVING AN AFFAIR.

YOU KNOW WHAT YOU SHOULD BE CONCERNED WITH?

WHAT? YOUR MARRIAGE.

THE WORDS YOU SAID TO ME WAS,

"YOU MUST NOT KNOW WHO I AM." WHAT?!

I THINK HE'S VERY CAPABLE OF ACTING ON THOSE WORDS.

THIS IS SOMETHING I HEARD ABOUT AN "INAPPROPRIATE VIDEO."

DID YOU POST IT ON SOCIAL MEDIA?

Vanessa: THAT JUNK THAT MARSAU DID,

TALKING ABOUT HE HAD A SEX TAPE OF MEL.

Mel: THAT'S CROSSING THE LINE.

I THOUGHT YOU CAME OVER HERE TO APOLOGIZE.

WHY WOULD I APOLOGIZE?

BECAUSE YOUR HUSBAND'S THREATENING MY LIFE.

I AIN'T TISHA. [BLEEP]

STOP TALKING TO ME LIKE THAT. OOH!
