PREVIOUSLY ON "LOVE & MARRIAGE: HUNTSVILLE"...

Melody: AND YOU KNOW WHAT? TO BE REAL WITH YOU,

I CAN'T WAIT TO TALK TO KIMMI

BECAUSE I'M KIND OF TIRED OF HER PLAYING MEDIATOR.

DON'T FORGET, I MEAN, LIKE, SHE WAS THE SIDE CHICK.

I'M HAPPY YOU WAS HERE TO SUPPORT.

YEAH, YOU KNOW KIMMI WAS GONNA BE HERE.

NO ONE ELSE DIDN'T COME TO THIS.

WHAT IS WRONG WITH HER?

I DON'T KNOW. WHAT'S THAT?

SO YOU JUST GO SEARCHING FOR TROUBLE?

SEEKING COUNSEL DEFINITELY

HELPS ME SEE THINGS IN A DIFFERENT LIGHT.

YOU KNOW, WE TALKED ABOUT YOU AND YOUR DAD.

WE REALLY HAVEN'T BONDED

THE WAY THAT I THINK WE SHOULD HAVE.

I DON'T KNOW WHAT -- I KNOW I'M A GREAT FATHER.

I DON'T KNOW WHAT I'M MISSING BECAUSE I DON'T FEEL IT.

I DON'T FEEL THAT I'M MISSING ANYTHING

FROM THE LACK OF HIM BEING IN MY LIFE.

YOU KNOW, WHEN PEOPLE SAY STUFF THAT I KNOW IS A BUNCH OF BS,

I'M GONNA SAY SOMETHING. MM-HMM.

I MEAN, LIKE, THAT JOB THAT MARSAU DID,

TALKING ABOUT HE HAD A SEX TAPE OF ME.

IT'S A WHOLE DIFFERENT GAME

WHEN IT COMES TO FLIPPING COMMERCIAL BUILDINGS.

[ RATTLING ]

OH, MY GOD.

HEY!

LOOK WHO THE CAT DRUG IN.

DAMN!

YOU MOVING AS SLOW WITH THIS DAMN BUILDING

LIKE Y'ALL MOVED AS SLOW AS YOU DID WITH STAG RUN.

HOW YOU DOING, BABY?

Jaylin: I'M GREAT. HOW ARE YOU?

I'M GOOD. HOW IS SCHOOL?

SCHOOL IS GOING GOOD.

WHAT YOU DOING HERE, ANYWAY? WHY YOU AIN'T AT SCHOOL?

I'M IN ONLINE CLASSES NOW.

YOU LIKE IT BETTER? MM-HMM.

WHAT ARE YOU MAJORING IN?

I'M MAJORING IN BUSINESS MANAGEMENT.

OKAY.

AND SO I WANT TO GET INTO PROJECT MANAGEMENT.

THAT'S WHAT'S UP. THAT'S GOOD.

GIVE US A SECOND, MAN.

I THINK WE WANT TALK FOR A SECOND, MAN.

ALRIGHT.

GOOD OLD MISS MELODY HOLT.

YIKES.

GUESS WHAT I DON'T HAVE HERE.

WHAT?

SECURITY TO ESCORT YOU OUT.

YOU AIN'T GONNA HAVE TO ESCORT ME OUT

BECAUSE THIS AIN'T A -- IS THIS A PRIVATE EVENT?

HEY, BUT ANYWAY...

I DIDN'T SEE, "NO TRESPASSING."

MAN, ANYWAY, GO AHEAD. YOU'RE NOT TRESPASSING.

OH, BUT I'M GLAD YOU BROUGHT THAT UP, TOO,

BECAUSE I WANT TO TALK TO YOU ABOUT THAT [BLEEP]

WHAT'S UP? OKAY.

SO THERE'S CERTAIN LEVELS THAT DON'T EVER --

CAN'T EVER BE CROSSED AND SHOULDN'T BE CROSSED.

LIKE THREATENING YOUR LIFE? ONE OF THOSE -- NO, NO, NO.

ONE OF THOSE IS KIDS. RIGHT.

SECOND THING IS PARENTS,

UNLESS THE PARENT OVERSTEPS THEY BOUNDARY

AND DOES SOMETHING DISRESPECTFUL.

THERE WE GO.

THEN YOU MIGHT NEED TO CHECK THEM, RIGHT?

AND I AGREE. RIGHT, RIGHT, RIGHT, RIGHT.

SO FOR YOU TO GO ONLINE

WHILE WE'RE BEEFING AND BE LIKE,

"OH, WELL, WHAT IF I HAVE A VIDEO OF SOMEONE'S MOTHER?"

I DIDN'T SAY, "I HAD A VIDEO."

I SAID, "SOMEONE HAD A VIDEO." OKAY.

IT DOESN'T MATTER. I SAID, "SOMEONE'S MOTHER."

AND THAT'S NOT A LINE THAT CAN BE CROSSED.

THERE'S A LOT OF PEOPLE'S MOMS. LET'S BE CLEAR.

DON'T PLAY THEM WORD GAMES AT ME.

I'M GONNA PLAY WITH WORD GAMES.

DON'T PLAY THEM WORD GAMES.

HEY, I'M NOT MARTELL EITHER.

YOU KNOW WHAT YOU WERE INSINUATING.

AND THAT'S CROSSING THE LINE.

I THOUGHT YOU CAME OVER HERE TO APOLOGIZE.

OH, NO, I DIDN'T COME TO APOLOGIZE.

OH, OKAY. WHY WOULD I APOLOGIZE?

BECAUSE YOUR HUSBAND THREATENED MY LIFE.

PROVE IT.

I CAN'T PROVE IT.

RIGHT. YEAH.

YOU FILING A POLICE... RIGHT.

...REPORT AGAINST MY FAMILY, MY HUSBAND...

I KNOW. I KNOW THAT. ...IS CROSSING ANOTHER LINE.

I THINK THAT MARTELL IS USED TO PEOPLE

THAT DO A LOT OF TALKING BUT NOT A LOT OF ACTION.

WHAT THAT GOT TO DO WITH ANYTHING?

BECAUSE YOU SAID YOU GOING TO FILE A POLICE REPORT?

NO, BECAUSE I THINK THAT HE THOUGHT

THAT HE COULD JUST TALK, TALK, TALK AND MAKE THREATS,

AND THERE'D BE NO CONSEQUENCES BEHIND IT.

Marsau: I THINK THAT PEOPLE IN MARTELL'S LIFE HAVE A TENDENCY

TO MAKE THREATS AND DON'T FOLLOW THROUGH IN ACTION,

AND AS A RESULT, THAT GIVES HIM THE FALSE SECURITY THAT,

"PEOPLE ARE JUST TALKING,"

AND THAT HE CAN JUST RUN OFF AT THE MOUTH.

DO YOU THINK THAT YOU GUYS ARE ON MY RADAR?

ON YOUR RADAR?

LIKE, YOU THINK THAT I HAVE TIME TO DEAL

WITH HOLT STUFF, AND I JUST DON'T.

BUT YOU DO... BUT I DON'T. BUT I DON'T.

...JUST LIKE HOW YOU LEAKED OUR TAX INFORMATION.

NO, I DIDN'T. YES, YOU DID, LYING.

DO YOU HAVE THE PROOF? HEY.

HEY, WE CAN DO IT WHEN YOU WANT TO DO IT.

DO YOU HAVE THE PROOF? DO YOU HAVE THE PROOF?

YOU CAN SEE IT WHEN YOU WANT TO SEE IT.

MEL, I DON'T CARE ABOUT YOUR TAX RECORDS.

I DON'T CARE.

THAT'S WHAT YOU SAY, BUT YOU TOOK THE TIME TO...

I DIDN'T. BUT YOU TOOK THE TIME...

BUT I DIDN'T. ...TO SEND THAT...

OKAY. ...TO SOMEONE.

OKAY.

WHEN I SAW THAT, I WAS LIKE, "WAIT, BUT WHY?"

BELIEVE WHAT YOU WANT TO BELIEVE.

"BUT WHY?"

BELIEVE WHAT YOU WANT TO BELIEVE.

NO, I CAN'T BELIEVE WHAT I WANT TO BELIEVE.

I JUST BELIEVE IN FACTS. I JUST BELIEVE THE FACTS.

ONCE AGAIN, MARSAU IS DEFINITELY LYING ABOUT

SHARING OUR TAX-RETURN INFORMATION JUST LIKE,

YOU KNOW, HE TRIED TO FILE THIS POLICE REPORT

COMING FOR THE HOLT BRAND.

AT THE END OF THE DAY, THAT'S WHAT IT WAS ABOUT,

COMING FOR THE HOLT BRAND.

YOU GUYS CROSSED SEVERAL LINES.

WE DIDN'T CROSS THOSE LINES.

YES, YOU DID! WE DIDN'T.

AND MY MOTHER BUILT SCHOLT WITH YOU,

AND YOU KNOW THAT, PROBABLY MORE THAN YOU ACTUALLY DID.

LET'S BE CLEAR. WHAT PART OF SCHOLT, MEL?

THE MOST IMPORTANT PART, THE ADMINISTRATION PART,

GETTING CONTRACTORS,

SENDING CONTRACTORS WORK ORDERS,

MAKING SURE YOUR WORK IS GETTING DONE,

SO YOU CAN HAVE MONEY IN YOUR POCKET.

SO YOUR MOM IS KIND OF THE ONE MAKING THIS THING SLOW?

LET'S BE CLEAR.

SHE DON'T WORK HERE NO MORE, BOO.

SO, YEAH, IT'S SLOW BECAUSE MY MAMA

AIN'T WORKING WITH SCHOLT NO MORE!

MEL, MEL, I'M RIGHT HERE, SWEETIE.

I KNOW. I'M JUST SAYING. TRANQUILLO.

BUT YOU TRIED TO COME FOR MY MOTHER AGAIN,

AND I DON'T PLAY IT LIKE THAT [BLEEP]

CALM DOWN. YOU'RE SAYING...

YOU'RE TELLING ME THAT YOUR MOTHER IS PRETTY MUCH

THE NUMBER-ONE PART OF SCHOLT? SHUT THE [BLEEP] UP.

STOP TALKING TO ME LIKE THAT. OOH!

YEAH, LIKE, YOU TOLD YOUR WIFE.

SHUT THE [BLEEP] UP. DON'T DO THAT.

I THINK MARTELL USED TO SAY THAT TO YOU.

OH, WHERE? PROVE IT.

WHERE DID HE SAY, "SHUT THE [BLEEP] UP"?

HE'S NEVER TOLD ME, "SHUT THE [BLEEP] UP."

OKAY. DON'T COME FOR CHILDREN.

DON'T COME FOR MOTHERS. DON'T COME FOR ME.

I WOULD NEVER COME FOR YOU

IF YOU DIDN'T COME FOR ME OR MINE.

THEN TAKE THAT LITTLE MOUTH AND...

DON'T DO THE LITTLE POLICE [BLEEP]

LIKE, WHY? WHY?

BECAUSE SOMEONE THREATENED MY LIFE.

BECAUSE WHAT? SOMEONE THREATENED MY LIFE.

THAT SOUNDS BITCHY...

OKAY. ...FOR REAL.

Melody: MARSAU DEFINITELY DID NOT FEEL

LIKE HIS LIFE WAS THREATENED BY MARTELL.

HE FILED THIS POLICE REPORT TO TRY TO MAKE MARTELL

LOOK BAD HERE IN TOWN, BUT WHAT HE DID WAS ONCE AGAIN

MAKE HIMSELF LOOK FOOLISH AND WEAK.

MEL, YOU SEEM A LITTLE HOSTILE.

BECAUSE YOU CAME FOR MY MOTHER, MAN.

YOU SEEM A LITTLE BOTHERED.

SO IF THAT'S THE GAME YOU WANT TO PLAY, GAME ON.

I'M GOOD. GAME ON. YOU COME FOR MY MOM.

AND BY THE WAY, THAT AIN'T A THREAT BUT GAME ON.

MEL, CAN YOU DO ME A FAVOR, THOUGH?

NUH-UH. I DON'T NEED TO DO NO FAVOR.

NEXT TIME YOU COME IN... YOU CAN WATCH ME EXIT...

NEXT TIME YOU COME IN...

...BECAUSE WHAT YOU AIN'T GONNA HAVE TO DO IS LIKE

I HAD TO DO YOUR WIFE AND ESCORT ME OUT...

HEY, THANK YOU.

...BECAUSE I CAN TAKE CARE OF MY OWN WAY OUT.

I JUST DON'T WANT TO GET A LAWSUIT FROM YOU GUYS...

THANK YOU.

...TRYING TO MAKE SOME MONEY OFF OF ME.

BYE-BYE-BYE. BYE, BYE AND BYE.

THANK YOU, MEL.

THAT WAS FUNNY.

¶¶

-HEY, BOO. -HEY, BABE.

WHAT YOU DOING?

LOOKING AT THE RESTAURANT BUILD-OUT.

WE'RE SUPPOSED TO BE DOWN HERE CLEANING UP.

WE ARE.

I FEEL LIKE YOU'RE NOT.

WE NEED TO GET THIS STUFF DOWN HERE ORGANIZED

BECAUSE I REALLY WANT TO...

REMEMBER WHEN I TALKED TO YOU ABOUT GETTING KIMMI

OVER HERE AND HAVING A GET-TOGETHER?

BECAUSE I DEFINITELY WANT TO CELEBRATE KIMMI.

WE MISSED ALL OF HER BIRTHDAYS,

SO I WANT TO, YOU KNOW, HAVE A BIRTHDAY CAKE FOR HER.

WE COULD SING "HAPPY BIRTHDAY" TO HER.

WHERE ARE WE GONNA GO?

WE'RE GONNA HAVE DINNER HERE.

WHERE ARE THEY GOING TO SIT, BABE?

UPSTAIRS.

SO WE DOWNSIZED

AND MOVED INTO A NEW HOME ABOUT A MONTH AGO.

WELL, NOT A NEW HOME.

THIS IS OUR TRANSITION HOME WHILE WE BUILD OUR DREAM HOME.

IT'S MUCH SMALLER THAN WE'RE USED TO,

BUT IF MARSAU DOES HIS SHARE

AND HELP CLEAN UP AROUND HERE,

WE COULD BE COMFORTABLE IN THE MEANTIME.

KIMMI AND MEL, THEY'VE BEEN HANGING OUT,

SO I JUST WANT TO HAVE KIMMI...

HEY, BABE. ...OVER AND TALK TO HER.

DON'T DO THAT. DON'T DO THAT.

I DON'T MIND HER HANGING OUT WITH MEL.

I DON'T CARE. LIKE, WE DON'T TALK ABOUT MEL

WHEN WE'RE TOGETHER, AND I HOPE HER AND MEL

DON'T TALK ABOUT ME WHEN THEY'RE TOGETHER.

I CAN TELL YOU ONE THING.

THEY HAVE A BONE TO PICK.

WHO IS THEY?

THEY IS THE HOLTS.

WHY DO THEY HAVE A BONE TO PICK WITH US?

HAVE YOU TALKED TO THEM?

I'M AT BLACK, AND I'M TALKING TO JAYLIN.

GUESS WHO WALKS IN. MARTELL?

LO AND BEHOLD, IT'S MRS. MELODY HOLT.

OH, MY GOD. RIGHT.

WHY IS SHE POPPING UP THERE?

YOU SHOULD'VE CALLED SECURITY.

I STARTED TO. YOU SHOULD'VE CALLED SECURITY.

I STARTED TO CALL SECURITY.

LIKE, WHAT THE HELL?

WHY IS SHE JUST POPPING UP THERE?

"IF YOU DON'T WANT ME AT YOUR EVENT,

YOU GOT TO CALL SECURITY."

DON'T BE POPPING UP AT MY SPOT.

AND SO SHE COMES IN, AND SHE IS ON 1,000.

SHE GETS TO RANTING AND RAVING ABOUT, YOU KNOW, THE SPOT.

"WAH! WHY IS IT NOT DONE? WHY IS IT NOT DONE?"

WHAT THE HELL DOES THAT HAVE TO DO WITH YOU?

I MEAN, THAT'S NOT EVEN HER [BLEEP] BUSINESS

WHY IT'S NOT DONE.

"WHY ARE YOU POPPING UP HERE TO SAY MEAN STUFF?"

THE WHOLE CONVERSATION FROM...

IT JUST TOOK ME OFF GUARD, AND IT WAS SO ANNOYING.

I MEAN, I POPPED UP AT MEL'S EVENT TO MAKE PEACE,

AND SHE COMING TO BLACK, POPPING UP TO MAKE TROUBLE.

THAT'S THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN A SCOTT AND A HOLT.

FACTS. BIG FACTS.

MEL IS SAYING, "DON'T COME FOR MOMS.

DON'T COME FOR MOMS,"

AND I'M LIKE, "DO YOU FORGET THAT MARTELL CAME FOR MOM?"

MY MOM AND ME.

AND FINALLY, AFTER 5, 6, 7 MONTHS,

WHEN I DECIDE I'M GONNA GET ONE SWING IN,

THEN Y'ALL LIKE, "OH, OH, OH,"

PLAYING THE VICTIM LIKE THEY TRY TO ACCUSE YOU OF.

MM-HMM. SO THE WHOLE THING

ABOUT THE WHOLE, "DON'T COME FOR MOMS,"

I THINK THAT'S A NEW RULE, SO I'M COOL WITH THAT.

IT'S A RULE BECAUSE IT'S BENEFICIAL TOWARDS THEM.

ALLEGEDLY, THERE'S AN INAPPROPRIATE VIDEO OUT THERE,

AND I HAVEN'T SEEN IT,

SO I CAN'T SPEAK ON IT OR SPECULATE,

BUT I DON'T KNOW.

SOMEBODY SHOULD LOOK INTO THAT.

I'M DONE WITH THEM. I AM OVER IT.

WE DON'T HAVE TO BE COOL.

WE'RE NOT GONNA BE COOL,

BUT WE DON'T HAVE TO BE ENEMIES.

YOU GOT TO LET THAT STUFF GO, TI.

YOU GOT TO LET ALL THAT ENERGY GO,

THAT NEGATIVE ENERGY YOU GOT.

I DON'T HAVE NEGATIVE...

RELAX, RELIGHT, RELEASE.

CAN YOU HELP ME CLEAN THIS STUFF UP?

COME ON.

LET'S GET THIS STUFF TOGETHER SO WE CAN GET UP OUT OF HERE.

COME GET SOME STUFF TOGETHER.

I INJURED MY KNEE PLAYING BASKETBALL THE OTHER DAY,

SO I'M HAVING A HARD TIME STANDING

AND MOVING AND CLEANING.

WELL, COME ON, MARSAU.

LET'S GET THIS STUFF CLEANED UP.

COMING UP ON "LOVE & MARRIAGE: HUNTSVILLE"...

WHEN THE LAST TIME YOU SEEN YOUR DADDY?

HAS HE SEEN THE BABY?

NO, HE HASN'T SEEN THE BABY.

WILL YOU REACH OUT TO HIM FOR ME, THOUGH?

NO, I AM NOT. [ SIGHS ]

WHAT YOU WORKING ON?

TRYING TO FIGURE OUT THIS STUFF

FOR THE GIRL'S BIRTHDAY PARTY.

WHO ALL ARE YOU INVITING?

MACI AND MILA.

HOW THE HELL THEY GONNA GET THERE?

BECAUSE I KNOW WE AIN'T GONNA HAVE TISHA AND MARSAU THERE.

HAVE YOU HAD, LIKE, A CHANGE OF HEART

WHEN IT COME TO THE [BLEEP]

YOU GOT THAT VOO-DOO-DOO- DOO-DOO-DOO-DOO-DOO-DOO

LIKE A MOTORMOUTH, BUT ANYWAY, THAT'S ME, TOO.

AIN'T THAT THE POT CALLING THE KETTLE BLACK?

SO REEL THAT [BLEEP] BACK.

NO, NO, NO. REEL THAT [BLEEP] BACK.

¶¶

¶¶

[ KNOCK ON DOOR ]

¶¶

HEY, MILL-BEE. HEY, CHICKADEE.

HEY. WHAT'S UP?

WHY YOU COMING THROUGH THE FRONT DOOR?

BECAUSE I CAME TO THE BACK, AND IT WASN'T OPEN.

OH.

SORRY.

THAT ONE WASN'T OPEN EITHER.

THAT'S OKAY. IT'S OKAY.

WITH MAURICE BUSY STUDYING FOR THE BAR EXAM,

I NEED A SOUNDING BOARD.

MILLI IS THE BEST PERSON FOR THIS JOB

BECAUSE MILLI IS HONEST.

WHAT'S GOING ON WITH YOU?

I WAS TRYING TO SEE WHAT I COULD DO

BECAUSE IT'S VOTERS' YEAR.

IT'S THE YEAR WE VOTE. YAY.

MY GOAL IS SIMPLY GETTING PEOPLE

TO HAVE THEIR VOICE HEARD...

JUST TO SHOW UP.

...THAT NUMBER, JUST HAVE YOUR --

WHATEVER IT IS YOU WANT, YOU DO WHAT YOU WANT.

I'M NOT HERE TO TRY TO CONVINCE YOU TO DO SOMETHING,

BECAUSE THAT'S NOT MY GOAL. MM-HMM.

WE NEED TO KIND OF BE A LITTLE MORE CONSCIENTIOUS

ABOUT OUR OPTION TO VOTE. CHOICES.

YOU KNOW, A LOT OF PEOPLE MARCHED, SANG,

SAT, KNEELED...

GOT BEAT.

...DIED FOR US TO VOTE, AND MY GOAL

IS SIMPLY GETTING PEOPLE TO HAVE THEIR VOICE HEARD.

I LIKE IT.

I THINK, IN GENERAL, VOTING IS SOMETHING I DO.

I REMEMBER WHEN I WAS IN ELEMENTARY SCHOOL.

I REMEMBER MOMMY USED TO PULL US OUT OF CLASS

TO LET ME STAND IN LINE WITH HER TO VOTE.

IT WAS SO COOL BECAUSE WHEN CLINTON WAS IN OFFICE,

HE ACTUALLY DID THE TRAIN-WHISTLE-STOP THING.

MM-HMM. MM-HMM.

AND I SHOOK HIS HAND!

REALLY?

SO I'VE BEEN, LIKE...

WHATEVER. OH, THAT WAS SUPER COOL.

YOU KNOW, SO IT'S JUST LITTLE THINGS LIKE THAT

THAT STICK OUT IN MY MIND,

AND IT'S, LIKE, IT WAS IMPORTANT.

MM-HMM.

I VOTED IN EVERY ELECTION, AND NOT ONLY HAVE I VOTED,

I'VE NORMALLY LET MY KIDS GO TO SCHOOL LATE THAT DAY,

AND I TAKE THEM WITH ME.

I THINK A LOT OF PEOPLE GET COMPLACENT.

THEY KIND OF TAKE THEIR VOTING RIGHT FOR GRANTED

LIKE THEIR ONE VOTE DOESN'T MATTER.

I DON'T WANT PEOPLE TO FEEL LIKE THEIR ONE VOTE IS POWERLESS.

EVERYBODY'S VOTE IS POWERFUL.

SO IF IT'S GONNA BE GET PEOPLE TO POLL,

WHAT WE GONNA CALL IT?

"WATCH ME VOTE!"

NOPE.

MY PROJECT, MY NAME.

THAT'S TRUE. YOUR PROJECT, YOUR NAME.

DO YOU HAVE ENOUGH TIME?

I DON'T THINK YOU REALLY NEED TIME AS FAR AS...

UNTIL YOU...

...TRYING TO SEE WHAT'S AVAILABLE FOR PEOPLE

WHO ARE GOING TO GATHER TO HELP YOU.

YEAH, AND THEN WE CAN GET THE, YOU KNOW,

OTHER PEOPLE INVOLVED, TOO, LIKE THE COMEBACK GROUP.

NO. [BLEEP] NO.

¶¶

COME ON.

TAY, SHUT THE DOOR FOR ME, OKAY?

OKAY. ALRIGHT. COME ON.

-HEY, DADDY. -HEY, DADDY!

-HEY! -WHAT'S UP? HOW Y'ALL DOING?

SO, MARIAH, WHAT WOULD YOU LIKE TO DO FOR YOUR BIRTHDAY?

YOU WANT TO GET SOME OF YOUR GIRLS TOGETHER,

HAVE A GIRLS' DAY? -YES, MA'AM.

WHO ALL YOU WANT TO INVITE?

WELL, SOME PEOPLE WHO I WANT TO INVITE IS MACI.

YOU WANT TO INVITE MACI?

THAT'S A NEGATIVE. NO, I'M JUST KIDDING.

NO, YOU CAN INVITE MACI. I WANT TO INVITE MACI!

Melody: MACI IS MARSAU AND LATISHA'S DAUGHTER.

SINCE WE HAVE NOT BEEN HANGING WITH THE SCOTTS,

UNFORTUNATELY THE GIRLS DON'T GET TO SEE EACH OTHER.

THEY HAVEN'T SEEN EACH OTHER IN A WHILE.

AND YOUR LITTLE GIRL WENT TO SLEEP THAT QUICK.

DID SHE? AW!

DADDY BE PUTTING HER TO SLEEP.

-HELLO. -HEY!

WHAT'S UP, MAMA? HOW Y'ALL DOING?

-HEY, GRANDMA. -GETTING READY TO EAT.

GOT YOUR FOOD IN YONDER.

HEY, I GOT YOU SOMETHING. HOW'S IT GOING, DAUGHTER?

HEY! GOOD TO SEE YOU.

IT'S GOOD TO SEE YOU, TOO. OKAY.

HOW YOU DOING? I'M DOING FINE.

YOU DOING FINE?

YES. OKAY.

I WANT TO SEE MY LITTLE PRINCESS OVER THERE, TOO.

AW.

MAMA HOLT LOVES HER GRANDKIDS, AND SHE LOVES TO COME OVER

WHENEVER SHE CAN SO SHE CAN SEE THE BABY.

UNLIKE MY DAD.

I KNOW Y'ALL BEEN BUSY.

YEAH.

IT'S DIFFERENT HAVING A BABY AT 34

VERSUS WHEN WE HAD THOSE AT, WHAT, 20.

IT'S JUST DIFFERENT BECAUSE WE GOT FOUR.

THAT'S WHAT IT IS. [BLEEP]

HEY. WHERE'S THAT NANNY?

I THOUGHT IT COULD BE YOU.

OH, NO, IT'S NOT GONNA BE ME...

WHAT? ...NOT NO TIME SOON, HONEY.

WHY NOT?

THAT AIN'T WHAT MAMA HOLT WANT.

WHAT YOU WANT? WHAT YOU WANT THEN, MAMA HOLT?

MAMA HOLT WANT TO DO WHAT SHE WANTS TO DO.

I DO HAVE A JOB, YOU KNOW.

WELL, WE WAS TALKING ABOUT A LIVE-IN NANNY.

WELL, AIN'T NO LIVING-IN NANNY, NANNY, NOTHING.

SELL YOUR HOUSE.

WHAT DO I LOOK LIKE?

YOU KNOW, Y'ALL BE... OH, SHOOT.

...YOUR OWN NANNY, MOMMY AND DADDY.

OH, MY GOSH! MARTELL, SHOOT, XFINITY,

I FORGOT ABOUT THAT APPOINTMENT TODAY FOR THE INTERNET.

SEE, MELODY'S THING RIGHT NOW,

SHE'S ALWAYS FORGETTING TO DO A LOT OF THINGS,

AND I WILL DEFINITELY SAY YOU'RE DOING TOO MUCH.

WELL, MAYBE YOU NEED TO STEP UP

AND DO A LITTLE BIT MORE.

I'M SAYING WE NEED A NANNY.

WHEN THE LAST TIME YOU SEEN YOUR DADDY?

HAS HE SEEN THE BABY?

NO, HE HASN'T SEEN THE BABY.

I'M A BIT DISAPPOINTED THAT HE HASN'T SEEN HER.

HE'LL COME AROUND. I HOPE SO.

YOU KNOW, EVERY TIME WE TALK, YOU KNOW,

HE SPEAK ABOUT COMING AND SEEING THE KIDS

AND THINGS LIKE THAT.

YEAH, I MEAN, HE GOT A LOT OF GOOD IN HIM.

DO YOU EVER THINK ABOUT WHAT IT COULD'VE BEEN

IF HE WAS, LIKE, IN OUR LIVES?

BECAUSE I KNOW THERE'S A LOT OF TIMES THAT, YOU KNOW,

YOU STRUGGLED AS A SINGLE PARENT.

WELL, AS ME, I KNEW I HAD TO TAKE CARE OF YOU.

YES.

THAT'S WHY I ALWAYS KEPT ME TWO JOBS.

MM. SO LOOK WHAT I DID.

YEAH. I RAISED MY CHILD.

THAT'S RIGHT. I UNDERSTAND.

OKAY. YOU INCARCERATED.

THAT'S WHY I DIDN'T SEE YOU,

BUT THEN YOU GOT OUT FOR A FEW YEARS, AND...

HE CHOSE DOPE. ...I STILL DIDN'T SEE YOU?

YEAH.

Martell: MY DAD WASN'T AROUND LIKE MY MOM WAS

OR LIKE I AM WITH MY KIDS.

IT MIGHT BE TOO LATE FOR HIM TO INSTILL CERTAIN QUALITIES IN ME

CONSIDERING THAT I AM A GROWN MAN NOW,

BUT IT'S DEFINITELY NOT TOO LATE FOR HIM

TO BE A GRANDFATHER TO HIS GRANDKIDS.

WILL YOU REACH OUT TO HIM FOR ME, THOUGH?

NO. NOW WHY YOU BEING SO TOUGH?

HOW OLD ARE YOU?

IT DOESN'T MATTER.

I AIN'T FIXING TO DO NOTHING.

OKAY.

SEE, I STAY IN MY LANE, BABY.

NOW, I COULD SEE IF ME AND HIM HAD SOMETHING GOING.

YOU KNOW WHAT I'M SAYING? YEAH.

NOW IT'D BE DIFFERENT.

I'D BE LIKE, "YOU BETTER GET YOUR ASS OVER THERE

AND SEE THEM GRANDKIDS."

WHY YOU CAN'T MENTION IT NOW THEN?

I AM NOT TALKING TO YOUR DADDY, NO...

PERIOD? ...ABOUT THAT.

NO.

[ SIGHS ]

I WOULD DEFINITELY LIKE FOR MY DAD

TO REACH OUT TO ME FOR A CHANGE

INSTEAD OF ME HAVING ALWAYS TO REACH OUT TO HIM.

YOU JUST KEEP DOING WHAT YOU DO, BABY...

YEAH.

...BECAUSE THE MAIN THING, YOU A GOOD DADDY AND,

YOU KNOW, A GOOD HUSBAND, TAKING CARE OF YOUR FAMILY.

RIGHT.

YOU KNOW, YOU BEING A BETTER DAD TO YOUR KIDS

THAN YOUR DADDY WAS TO YOU.

YEAH.

SO YOU JUST KEEP DOING WHAT YOU DO.

THE REST OF MY DAY,

I'M GONNA CONTACT HIM AND SEE WHAT'S UP.

YEAH.

COMING UP ON "LOVE & MARRIAGE: HUNTSVILLE"...

I JUST WANT YOU TO BE MY FRIEND OVER HERE

AND FAMILY AND FRIEND OVER THERE

AND NOT NECESSARILY TRYING TO BRING BRIDGES TOGETHER.

I'VE LET BRINGING Y'ALL TOGETHER GO.

THIS IS NOT MY FIGHT.

YOU GOT TO PUT FORTH THE EFFORT.

I'M PUTTING FORTH A LITTLE EFFORT,

BUT I'M NOT GONNA BE PUTTING FORTH SO MUCH EFFORT

THAT IT SEEM LIKE I'M FORCING YOU.

¶ TRYING TO BRING ME DOWN ¶

¶ I'M ON MY FEET ¶

¶ I GOT MYSELF ¶

¶ AND I DON'T NEED ¶

¶ NOBODY-BODY-BODY-BODY-BODY ¶

¶ NOBODY-BODY-BODY-BODY-BODY ¶

Melody: OH, THERE SHE IS. HOW YOU DOING?

HEY! YOU LOOK SO PRETTY.

YOU DO, TOO. WHAT'S UP, GIRL?

YEAH.

YOUR HAIR LOOK REALLY, REALLY PRETTY.

-YOU LOOK BEAUTIFUL. -THIS IS A COOL LITTLE SPOT.

YOU DO, TOO. GIRL, I'M ORDERING ME A DRINK

BECAUSE YOU KNOW I CAN DRINK NOW.

I'M NOT PREGNANT ANYMORE.

I HAVEN'T TALKED TO KIMMI SINCE MY MBRACE EVENT,

AND CONSIDERING THE WAY EVERYTHING WENT DOWN,

I REALLY, REALLY NEED TO TALK TO HER

TO MAKE SURE THAT WE ARE ON THE SAME PAGE.

AND WHAT YOU BEEN UP TO?

YOU KNOW IT'S ELECTION YEAR. YEAH.

AND SO I WANTED TO TRY TO SEE IF I COULD DO SOMETHING

IN THE VEIN OF GETTING PEOPLE OUT TO VOTE.

OKAY.

AND SO I FELT LIKE

IF WE KIND OF BEAT THE PAVEMENT A LITTLE BIT.

RIGHT.

IT'S JUST WALKING AROUND LIKE, "HOW Y'ALL DOING?

Y'ALL GONNA GET OUT THIS YEAR AND GET TO VOTING?"

I'D LOVE TO BE A PART.

I THINK BOOTS ON THE GROUND LIKE YOU'RE SAYING,

THAT WOULD BE -- THAT'S THE MAIN THING.

I THINK THAT KIMMI WANTING TO GET PEOPLE OUT TO THE POLLS

AND TO REALLY, YOU KNOW, MAKE PEOPLE WANT TO VOTE,

I THINK THAT'S GREAT.

BUT NOW IF SHE'S THINKING, "THIS ABOUT TO BE

A MEL AND TISHA MAKEUP KISS AND ALL OF THIS STUFF,"

HONEY, COUNT ME OUT BECAUSE I AIN'T CHECKING FOR THAT.

THANK YOU FOR COMING TO MY MBRACE EVENT.

I'M SO GLAD YOU CAME.

SO OBVIOUSLY I WANT TO TALK ABOUT THAT.

ME TOO.

ME TOO.

I DON'T EVEN KNOW WHAT TO SAY.

I'M EXTREMELY TORN, SO...

I FELT THAT THE SECURITY GUARD WAS A BIT MUCH.

YES?

WHY?

DON'T PLAY WITH ME.

MM-HMM.

AND I THINK IT COULD'VE BEEN HANDLED

DIFFERENTLY ON BOTH SIDES,

AND IF IT WERE HANDLED DIFFERENTLY ON BOTH SIDES,

I PROBABLY WOULD'VE STAYED.

FOR ME, WHEN YOU LEFT EARLY

BECAUSE SHE HAD TO BE DISMISSED,

IT MADE ME FEEL SOME KIND OF WAY,

LIKE, "OKAY, KIMMI AND I ARE WORKING ON US."

MM-HMM.

"AND WE'RE MOVING, YOU KNOW, IN A GOOD DIRECTION.

THERE ARE NO HARD FEELINGS GOING ON BETWEEN US."

LIKE, IF I WAS OUT RIGHT NOW AND SOMEBODY WAS SAYING

SOMETHING BAD ABOUT KIMMI, I WOULD BE LIKE, "NO, HOLD UP."

SO I'M TRYING TO FIGURE OUT IF YOU'RE ABLE, REALLY,

TO BE RIGHT IN THE MIDDLE,

NOT BEING A MEDIATOR OR NOT TRYING TO PICK SIDES.

SHE MAY NOT BE ABLE TO NOT DO THAT, YOU KNOW?

THAT WAS JUST AN EVENT I WAS INVITED TO,

AND ONCE AGAIN, I HAPPENED TO GET CAUGHT IN THE MIDDLE.

I DON'T WANT YOU TO BE IN THE MIDDLE.

I JUST WANT YOU TO BE MY FRIEND OVER HERE

AND FAMILY AND FRIEND OVER THERE

AND NOT NECESSARILY TRYING TO BRING BRIDGES TOGETHER.

I CAN SAY THAT I'M GLAD MEL SEEMS TO UNDERSTAND

THAT I DON'T LIKE BEING STUCK IN THE MIDDLE.

TISHA IS MY FAMILY AND MY FRIEND,

AND THAT'S NOT GONNA CHANGE,

SO I GUESS WE'RE JUST GONNA HAVE TO KEEP DEALING

WITH THESE TOUGH SITUATIONS...

AS THEY COME.

OOH, JESUS, TAKE THE WHEEL.

LET'S TALK ABOUT HOW WE GONNA MOVE FORWARD, YOU AND I.

I DIDN'T THINK WE HAD MOVED BACKWARDS.

WELL, I MEAN, WE MAYBE CAME TO A TINY HOP FOR A MINUTE.

MARIAH AND MALIAH, THEY'RE HAVING A BIRTHDAY PARTY.

I WOULD LOVE FOR Y'ALL TO COME.

BE HAPPY TO. YEAH.

WE ALWAYS HAVE A GOOD TIME WHEN WE GET TOGETHER.

HAD YOU DECIDED ON IF YOU WERE GONNA

INVITE THE KIDS, LIKE MACI?

I'M THINKING ABOUT IT.

MARIAH WANTS THEM TO COME,

SO IT'S KIND OF ONE OF THOSE THINGS WHERE WE...

RIGHT NOW, WE DON'T LIKE BEING IN EACH OTHER'S PRESENCE.

TISHA AND I, YOU KNOW, WE REALLY DON'T...

WE DON'T TALK.

WE DON'T GET ALONG, FOR REAL.

AS LONG AS WE CAN AGREE AS THE PARENTS

TO PUT OUR DIFFERENCES ASIDE FOR THAT DAY,

LET THE KIDS ENJOY EACH OTHER AND CHOOSE WHETHER OR NOT

THEY WANT TO BE FRIENDS BY THEMSELVES,

YOU KNOW WHAT I MEAN? WHICH, I WILL SAY,

THEY'LL CHOOSE THAT THEY WANT TO BE FRIENDS.

THEY'VE BEEN FRIENDS FOR A WHILE.

LET THEM HAVE THAT.

I JUST DON'T WANT TO FEEL LIKE, "OKAY.

KIMMI IS GONNA BE TRYING TO BRING US TOGETHER TODAY."

I DON'T WANT TO FEEL LIKE THAT.

TO BE CLEAR,

I'VE LET BRINGING Y'ALL TOGETHER GO.

THIS IS NOT MY FIGHT.

AWESOME.

¶ LET ME SEE YOU GET LIT ¶

¶ GET LIT, EVERYBODY, GET LIT ¶

¶ DJ, WHO'S SPINNING, TELL THEM, "PLAY MY HIT" ¶

¶ UH, UH ¶

¶ AND I PULL UP IN THAT 'RARI THOUGH ¶

¶ PULL UP, UH ¶

¶ MIX A DRINK WITH CAMPARI, BRO ¶

HEY. GOOD. HOW ARE YOU?

IT'S IMPOSSIBLE TO SAY WHAT MY LIFE WOULD BE LIKE

IF MY DAD WERE AROUND WHEN I WAS A KID.

MAYBE HIS ABSENCE IS WHAT CAUSED ME TO ACHIEVE

SO MUCH IN LIFE RIGHT NOW,

BUT WHAT'S MORE IMPORTANT TO ME RIGHT NOW

IS MY CHILDREN HAVING A GRANDFATHER.

SO IF HE STANDS ME UP AGAIN LIKE HE DID

WITH THE BABY SHOWER, THERE'S GONNA BE A PROBLEM.

THERE'S GONNA BE A REAL BIG PROBLEM.

POPS, WHAT'S UP, MAN?

DOING ALRIGHT?

GOOD, GOOD, GOOD. HOW ARE YOU?

WANT TO GRAB YOU SOMETHING TO EAT?

YOU AIN'T GONNA EAT?

I'M GOOD.

WHAT'S BEEN GOING ON? I'M GOOD.

YEAH? SO WHAT YOU EAT?

I HAD ME A LITTLE SNACK, MAN.

OH, REALLY? YEAH.

THEN WE MISSED YOU AT THE BABY SHOWER.

YEAH.

I FEEL THAT'S ABOUT EFFORT IN PRIORITIES

AND THINGS LIKE THAT, YOU KNOW?

IF CERTAIN THINGS MEAN SOMETHING TO YOU,

YOU'RE GONNA BE THERE.

MM-HMM.

AND I'M THINKING, LIKE, FAMILY, YOUR KIDS, GRANDKIDS,

IT SHOULD BE HELD AT THE SAME PRIORITY ZONE.

YOU KNOW WHAT I'M TALKING ABOUT?

ESPECIALLY IF YOU TELL YOUR SON YOU GONNA BE THERE.

YOU KNOW WHAT I'M SAYING?

SO FOR MY DOOR TO BE OPEN FOR YOU TO COME INTO IT...

MM-HMM?

...I THINK YOU SHOULD MAKE A LOT OF EFFORT TO DO SO.

MAN, SEE, POPS, YOU WASN'T THERE IN MY LIFE.

YOU WEREN'T THERE IN YOUR GRANDKIDS' LIFE,

AND YOU, YOU KNOW, YOU WEREN'T INCARCERATED,

YOU KNOW, WITH THE GRANDKIDS, YOU KNOW?

THERE WE GO.

YEAH.

YEAH, BECAUSE, YOU KNOW, I'M IN COUNSELING.

MY THERAPIST, DR. FRANCIS...

MM-HMM. ...YOU KNOW, HE ALWAYS...

HE TRY TO TIE THINGS IN WHEN IT COMES TO,

YOU KNOW, LIKE, CERTAIN... THE REASON I'M CERTAIN WAYS,

LIKE, CERTAIN INSECURITIES OR, YOU KNOW,

MY DAD NOT BEING A PART OF MY LIFE

OR SOMETHING LIKE THAT.

MM-HMM. I WAS LIKE, "I DON'T KNOW

HOW IT WOULD'VE BEEN IF YOU WERE,

LIKE, 100% IN MY LIFE EARLIER ON," YOU KNOW?

MM-HMM. YOU FOLLOW ME?

SO I DON'T KNOW HOW GOOD

OR HOW BAD THINGS WOULD'VE BEEN

IF YOU WERE IN MY LIFE, SO...

YEAH.

YOU NOT EVEN KNOWING IT.

I DON'T EVEN WANT YOU TO ATTEMPT TO.

ALL YOU CAN DO... EXACTLY.

YEAH.

YEAH.

OKAY. OKAY.

THE DOOR IS ALWAYS OPEN.

YOU KNOW WHAT I'M SAYING?

BUT ALSO, YOU GOT TO PUT FORTH THE EFFORT.

I'M PUTTING FORTH A LITTLE EFFORT,

BUT I'M NOT GONNA BE PUTTING FORTH SO MUCH EFFORT

THAT IT SEEM LIKE I'M FORCING YOU.

COMING UP ON "LOVE & MARRIAGE: HUNTSVILLE"...

GOT TO BE A LITTLE CORDIAL.

WHAT'S WRONG WITH BEING A LITTLE CORDIAL, A LITTLE CORDIAL?

BECAUSE THEY CAME FOR US SO MANY TIMES!

PARENTS CAN'T WORK IT OUT. GRANDMOTHER BRING THEM.

BUT THEN I'M THINKING, LIKE,

"THE GRANDMA IS A [BLEEP] TOO."

JUST BEING SHADY, ALL OVER THERE BEING SHADY.

Maurice: YOU'RE SAYING YOU'RE BEING SHADY?

NO, Y'ALL ARE.

ARE YOU A TRUE SCOTT, OR ARE YOU DOWN WITH THE HOLTS?

ZIP IT!

¶¶

WHAT'S UP, BABY? HEY.

HOW YOU DOING?

GOOD. HOW ARE YOU DOING?

LOOKING SEXY.

OH, WHATEVER.

I'M SITTING HERE GETTING SOME WORK DONE.

WHERE YOU BEEN?

JUST HAD A MEETING WITH CHRIS

ABOUT THIS LAND TRANSACTION.

OH, REALLY? HOW'S THAT GOING?

YEAH, KEL, HE WAS THERE, TOO. OH, OKAY.

WHAT IS KELMAN GONNA BE DOING?

I MEAN, YOU KNOW, WE DISCUSSING THE PROJECTS.

MM-HMM.

YOU KNOW, GOT DIFFERENT PROJECTS,

SO TRYING TO SEE WHAT'S HAPPENING.

WHAT YOU WORKING ON?

TRYING TO FIGURE OUT THIS STUFF

FOR THE GIRLS' BIRTHDAY PARTY.

YOU KNOW, THEY WANT TO HAVE IT AT STARS AND STRIKES.

YEAH, I KNOW. I HEARD.

IT'S ONE OF THEIR FAVORITE PLACES, HONEY.

WHEN I SAY EVERYTHING IS RIGHT HERE ONLINE, LIKE,

WHAT COMES WITH EACH PACKAGE,

HOW MUCH IT'LL BE PER PERSON, ALL OF THAT.

YEAH. AND SO WHAT I'M THINKING...

BUT HOW MANY PEOPLE YOU LOOKING TO HAVE?

WELL, THE ONE... THE PACKAGE I WANT TO DO

FOR THEM IS, LIKE, $24.95 A PERSON.

[BLEEP]

$24.95?

AND IT'S A MINIMUM OF 10 CHILDREN.

OH, WELL, STILL...

AND THE NEXT ONE IS $22.95.

NOW, I AIN'T GONNA LIE.

THERE IS AN OPTION FOR THE BOWLING FOR ME

TO BE ABLE TO DO, LIKE, THE V.I.P. ROOM.

YEAH, YEAH.

THAT IS GONNA COST MORE PER HOUR PER LANE.

WELL, I GUESS IT DEPENDS ON HOW MUCH IT COSTS.

I THINK IT'S, LIKE, 50 BUCKS. I DON'T HAVE IT ON HERE.

IT SAYS, "CALL." OH, PER LANE?

UH-HUH.

THERE'S, LIKE, EIGHT LANES BACK THERE.

SO THAT'S $400 BY ITSELF.

FOR 1 HOUR, AND IT'S 2 HOURS.

GOD DOG.

SO I REMEMBER BACK IN THE DAY,

MY MOM USED TO PUT TOGETHER A PARTY FOR ME

AND MY BROTHER FOR, LIKE, $20.

WELL, MARTELL, THE FACT OF THE MATTER...

JUST SAYING.

...IS, HONEY, THIS IS 2020, OKAY?

THERE AIN'T NO BIRTHDAY PARTIES,

NOT NO QUALITY ONES, HAPPENING FOR $20,

SO YOU NEED TO PUT, LIKE, TWO MORE ZEROES BEHIND THAT.

200? OKAY. I'M DOWN FOR THAT.

NO, 20, TWO MORE ZEROES, $2,000, 2 GRAND.

OH, OH, OH.

OKAY, SO CHECK THIS OUT. I'M LISTENING.

WHO ALL ARE YOU INVITING, FIRST OFF?

THAT'S WHAT I'M ABOUT TO GO TO NEXT.

MACI AND MILA.

HOW THE HELL THEY GONNA GET THERE?

I MEAN, LIKE, FOR REAL, HOW THEY GONNA GET THERE?

BECAUSE I KNOW WE AIN'T GONNA HAVE

TISHA AND MARSAU THERE.

OR HAVE YOU HAD, LIKE, A CHANGE OF HEART

WHEN IT COME TO THEM [BLEEP]

OKAY, SO HERE IS WHAT I'VE BEEN KIND OF THINKING.

SO I WENT AND MET UP WITH KIMMI,

AND I WAS TELLING HER THAT MARIAH WANTED TO INVITE MACI,

AND SHE WAS LIKE, "WELL, HOW YOU GONNA DO THAT

IF Y'ALL AIN'T EVEN TALKING? LIKE, WHAT YOU GONNA DO?"

I WAS LIKE, "[BLEEP] THIS. I'M GONNA CALL HER."

MNH-MNH. I'M AGAINST THAT.

OUR KIDS, YOU KNOW,

THEY HAVE BUILT A GOOD FRIENDSHIP TOGETHER,

AND THEY LOVE PLAYING WITH EACH OTHER.

WELL, YEAH, BUT THEY KIDS AT THE END OF THE DAY.

JUST BECAUSE SHE MENTIONS SOMEBODY'S NAME DON'T MEAN

THEY GOT TO BE IN OUR PRESENCE.

THEY ARE KIDS. WHAT'S WRONG WITH THAT?

THE NEXT THING YOU KNOW, WE'LL HAVE TO SEE THEM.

GOT TO BE A LITTLE CORDIAL.

WHAT'S WRONG WITH BEING A LITTLE CORDIAL, A LITTLE CORDIAL?

BECAUSE THEY CAME FOR US SO MANY TIMES.

I DIDN'T SAY, "BE FRIENDS."

I SAID, "BE A LITTLE CORDIAL," BE IN THE SAME ROOM.

CORDIAL FOR ME IS...

YEAH, BUT NOT INVITING THEIR ASSES TO ANYTHING.

YOU INVITING THE KIDS IS JUST LIKE INVITING THEM

BECAUSE THEY GOT TO COME.

TYPICALLY HOW IT WOULD HAPPEN, LIKE,

PARENTS CAN'T WORK IT OUT.

GRANDMOTHER BRING THEM.

BUT THEN I'M THINKING LIKE,

"THE GRANDMA IS A [BLEEP] TOO."

NOW SHE DIDN'T... NOW SHE AIN'T...

SHE DEFINITELY CAN'T STEP UP IN THERE.

NOW, I'M DEFINITELY NOT COOL

WITH ALLOWING A SOON-TO-BE 8-YEAR-OLD

AND A 3-YEAR-OLD TO MAKE A DECISION ON ANYTHING,

ESPECIALLY PEOPLE COMING TO A BIRTHDAY PARTY.

I MEAN, AT THE END OF THE DAY, WHO KNOWS, HONEY?

IT MAY BE THE GOOD LORD WORKING THROUGH OUR CHILDREN

TO BRING THE HOLTS AND SCOTTS BACK TOGETHER.

YOU THINK THAT'S WHAT IT IS?

POSSIBLY. HMM.

WELL, I'LL TELL YOU WHAT.

YOU DO WHAT YOU WANT TO DO,

AND HELL, I JUST WON'T SPEAK.

YOU SOMETHING ELSE.

FIXING TO CALL HER RIGHT NOW.

WHO? TISHA.

I DON'T EVEN WANT TO HEAR THAT [BLEEP]

OKAY, WELL, I'M GONNA CALL HER.

I'LL BE GONNA THE BACK ROOM THEN.

DON'T BE TOO FRIENDLY.

I'M GONNA BE ME, OKAY? YOU ALREADY KNOW.

"HEY, GIRL! HEY!"

¶¶

¶¶

[ Cellphone rings ]

HELLO. THIS LATISHA.

Hey, Tisha. This is Mel.

I was just giving you a call really quickly.

Mariah and Maliah are having a birthday party.

I asked Mariah, you know, to give me her list of children

she wanted to invite to her party,

and Maci and Mila

were one of the first two people she named.

I know that, you know, stuff isn't right with the adults,

the parents and with us right now, but the kids,

you know, they have been friends for a long time,

and, you know, I don't feel like what we have going on

should affect the children and them being friends.

So I just wanted to call and reach out

and let you know that we're having a party

Saturday from 10:00 to 12:00 at Stars and Strikes.

UM, YEAH, YEAH,

WELL, YOU KNOW, I APPRECIATE THE EFFORT OF YOU

CALLING TO REACH OUT TO INVITE THEM,

SO I DEFINITELY...

MACI HAS BEEN ASKING ABOUT MARIAH A LOT,

SO, UM, I'LL THINK ABOUT IT.

Okay, sounds great.

Thank you, girl. Bye-bye.

OKAY, BYE.

MY KIDS AND MELODY'S KIDS HAVE BEEN FRIENDS FOREVER,

BUT AFTER MEL'S BEHAVIOR,

I'M DEFINITELY UNDECIDED ABOUT LETTING MY KIDS

GO TO THE BIRTHDAY PARTY BECAUSE AT THIS POINT,

YOU HAVE MADE IT CRYSTAL CLEAR THAT YOU DON'T WANT ME AROUND,

SO THEREFORE, IT'S OVER.

IT'S DONE.

[ SIGHS ]

COMING UP ON "LOVE & MARRIAGE: HUNTSVILLE"...

YOU'RE SAYING THAT I PUT THEIR TAX INFORMATION OUT.

YOU SHOULDN'T EVEN BE TALKING TO HER!

YOU SHOULD'VE KICKED HER BUTT RIGHT BACK OUT THE DOOR

LIKE SHE DID YOUR WIFE.

OH, MA. THAT WHAT YOU SHOULD HAVE DONE.

I DON'T DO THAT. I DON'T DO THAT.

MAN, YOU'RE GONNA SIT THERE. I DON'T CARE WHAT YOU DON'T DO.

THAT WHAT YOU SHOULD HAVE DONE, THOUGH.

I GOT KIMMI'S FAVORITE CAKE, SO WE GONNA MAKE SURE WE SING

"HAPPY BIRTHDAY" TO HER AND EVERYTHING WHILE SHE'S HERE...

Marsau: MM-HMM.

...BECAUSE I DIDN'T GET A CHANCE TO SEE HER

ON HER BIRTHDAY.

[ KNOCK ON DOOR ]

SOMEBODY KNOCKING ON THE DOOR?

YEAH, I THINK SO.

HEY!

THE WHOLE FAMILY IS HERE!

IT IS STORMING! I KNOW.

THANK YOU FOR COMING. IT'S RAINING SO BAD.

GOLLY! OH, MY GOD.

MONSTER IS ALMOST TALLER THAN ME.

LaTisha: I'M EXCITED TO HAVE THE FAMILY OVER FOR DINNER.

I MEAN, IT'S BEEN A WHILE SINCE WE'VE HAD SOMETHING LIKE THIS.

THERE'S GONNA BE NOWHERE FOR ME TO GO

IN THIS TINY-ASS HOUSE.

LITTLE BITTY.

OH, GOD.

SO ONE, TWO, THREE. YEAH, I THINK THAT'S IT.

THAT'S ENOUGH FOR ALL THE KIDS, RIGHT?

BECAUSE I HAVE MY THREE, THEN YOUR TWO.

OH, YOU SO FUNNY.

YOU'RE GONNA MAKE JAYLIN

SIT AT THAT TABLE AND EAT WITH THEM?

SO HOW'S SCHOOL GOING, BRO?

I KNOW YOU BEEN STUDYING FOR THE BAR.

IT'S A GRIND.

LISTEN TO THIS. I WENT OLD-SCHOOL.

I DON'T NEVER GO ANYWHERE...

YOU HAVE SOMETHING IN THAT POCKET?

YEAH, BOY.

DOESN'T PASS THAT BAR THE FIRST TIME...

OH.

OH, LISTEN.

HEY, YOU KNOW WHAT I'M GONNA DO?

I'M SORRY. I'M GONNA TAKE IT AGAIN.

HEY!

SO THE DOOR OPENS, AND I SEE A LIGHT, AND I'M THINKING,

"COULD THAT BE THE GLORY?"

HEY! HOW YOU DOING, WANDA?

I DIDN'T KNOW YOU WAS COMING.

EXACT OPPOSITE.

SURPRISE!

SATAN...IN THE FLESH.

HEY! HEY!

HOW Y'ALL DOING?

HEY! OH, GIRL.

LOOK AT THEM EARRINGS. OKAY.

GIRL, THEY SAID YOU HAD COOKED.

MARSAU COOKED.

WHO?

MARSAU COOKED THIS?

OH, MY GOD.

I WOULD NEVER, EVER EAT ANYTHING MARSAU COOKING.

THAT WOULD BE Y'ALL LAST TIME EVER, EVER SEEING ME AGAIN.

I KNOW TISHA PROBABLY TOLD YOU ABOUT OUR CONVERSATION

WE HAD LAST WEEK ABOUT YOU.

NOT YET.

WHAT CONVERSATION YOU HAVE ABOUT ME

THAT I WASN'T INVITED TO?

BUT YOU KNOW I LIKE YOU, RIGHT?

I DON'T KNOW. I DON'T KNOW WHERE YOU'RE GOING WITH IT.

OH, NO, I KNOW WHAT'S GOING ON. I'M JUST WAITING.

YOU GOT TO LISTEN. I'M WAITING!

SO YOU GOT THAT VOO-DOO- DOO-DOO-DOO-DOO-DOO-DOO-DOO

LIKE A MOTORMOUTH, BUT ANYWAY, THAT'S ME, TOO.

AIN'T THAT THE POT CALLING THE KETTLE BLACK?

I AGREE.

I AGREE,

BUT I TOLD TISHA LAST WEEK,

IT MAY BE A LITTLE TOO MUCH TONIGHT.

SO HAVE YOU ATE YET?

BECAUSE I DON'T WANT YOU TO THROW IT UP.

OH, I DON'T THROW UP EASY.

OH, OKAY.

BECAUSE YOU KNOW LAST TIME WE WAS TOGETHER, I SAY,

"KIMMI WAS REALLY BASICALLY THROWING YOU UP UNDER THE BUS,"

AND I DIDN'T LIKE THAT.

WHAT THINGS DID I SAY?

ABOUT THE LITTLE PART THAT WHEN MELODY WAS OVER THERE

MAKING LITTLE REMARKS.

YOU KNOW, I'VE BEEN CALLED THE POST QUEEN.

I HAVE BEEN CALLED, YOU KNOW, ALWAYS GOING TO GALAS AND STUFF

AND BOUGIE AND ALL OF THIS OTHER STUFF.

MELODY IS ACCURATE.

WE TALKED ABOUT HER POSTING, PERIOD.

BY YOU ANSWERING THAT QUESTION,

EVERYBODY SEEN IT,

AND IT WAS LIKE, "OKAY.

NOW YOU THROWING TISHA UP UNDER THE BUS,"

AND I FELT KIND OF BAD ABOUT IT.

AND I CAN UNDERSTAND THAT.

AND I SAID, "WELL, IF THAT'S WHAT YOU WANT TO SAY,

LET TISHA AGREE TO HER OWN MISTAKE."

THAT'S WHAT I FELT LIKE IT SHOULD'VE HAPPENED.

I HEAR YOU. WHEN SHE ASKED YOU THAT PART,

YOU SHOULD'VE SAID, "YES, I SAID IT."

I CAN'T SPEAK FOR TISHA WHAT SHE SAID,

AND YOU... IF ME AND YOU ARE FRIENDS,

I AIN'T GOT TO SAY WHAT YOU SAYING.

Kimmi: THIS IS THE SECOND TIME

WANDA HAS COME FOR ME OVER SOME BULL[BLEEP]

AND I IMAGINE TISHA JUST DISAPPEARS INTO THE WALLPAPER

WHEN WANDA COMES ON THE ATTACK.

I SAID, "I JUST CAN'T BELIEVE KIMMI WOULD GO...

WOULD STOOP DOWN LIKE THAT"...

STOOP WHERE? WHERE AM I STOOPING?

..."TO GO DOWN"... WHERE AM I STOOPING?

WHEN I SEEN IT, WHEN I SEEN IT, WHEN ALL US WAS TOGETHER,

AND I SEEN IT, I WAS LIKE, "OH, MY GOD"...

SO... ..."KIMMI?"

...FOR MY VERSION OF WHAT... "KIMMI?"

...HAPPENED TO BE DIFFERENT

THAN TISHA'S MAKE ME STOOPING DOWN?

-TOGETHER. -BUT IT WASN'T MY VERSION.

SHE SAYING ABOUT WHAT SHE SAW THE LAST TIME

WE WAS TOGETHER FROM HER PERSPECTIVE.

YEAH, AND...

SO SHE CAME TO ME, AND I EXPLAINED IT TO HER.

NO, SHE SAID I SHOULDN'T HAVE SAID, "YES,"

THAT WE DID TALK ABOUT HER.

SHE SAID I SHOULD NOT HAVE SAID THAT.

SHE SAID I SHOULD HAVE SAID...

BUT SHE FEEDING YOU A WHOLE BUNCH OF STUFF,

AND I KNOW SHE DO. WHAT IS SHE FEEDING ME?

I KNOW BECAUSE HER LITTLE THING IS,

SHE INVITES YOU TO LITTLE THINGS, SO,

"OKAY, WELL, TISHA CAN'T COME TO THIS RIGHT HERE.

YEAH, KIMMI CAN COME."

I DON'T ASK HER WHO SHE INVITES!

I UNDERSTAND THAT.

I UNDERSTAND THAT, BUT IT'S A REASON WHY

BECAUSE ALL OF Y'ALL HUNG OUT TOGETHER,

SO WHY DO SHE PICK JUST KIMMI?

AND LET ME TELL YOU THE FUNNY PART

WHILE YOU "JUST KIMMI"-ING ME.

THERE WAS A MILLION TIMES

HER AND TISHA WOULD GO PLACES WITHOUT ME.

WITH THE KIDS! AND IT WAS NO BIG DEAL!

WITH THE KIDS. IT WAS NO BIG DEAL.

OKAY, BUT THAT WAS BEFORE YOUR TIME.

WHAT SHE WAS SAYING WAS...

NO, IT WASN'T BEFORE MY TIME!

IT WASN'T BEFORE --

WE MET HER AT THE SAME TIME.

SO REEL THAT [BLEEP] BACK.

NO, NO, NO. REEL THAT [BLEEP] BACK.

¶¶

Wanda: SHE FEEDING YOU A WHOLE BUNCH OF STUFF,

AND I KNOW SHE DO. Kimmi: WHAT IS SHE FEEDING ME?

WE MET HER AT THE SAME TIME.

SO REEL THAT [BLEEP] BACK. NO, NO, NO.

REEL THAT [BLEEP] BACK. I AIN'T GONNA TAKE IT BACK.

I'M JUST GONNA KEEP IT, LIKE, I'M GONNA KEEP IT ROLLING.

NO, YOU GOT TO REEL IT BACK BECAUSE...

NO, NO, NO, NO. ...YOU'RE COMING FOR ME.

SHE CAN BE A WITNESS.

I'M NOT GONNA DRAG HER IN THERE.

I AIN'T DRAG HER! I'M JUST GONNA LET HER KNOW,

"YES, I SAID IT. I SAID THIS MYSELF."

I DON'T WANT TO TALK ABOUT MEL AND THIS SITUATION.

I COULD CARE LESS.

WE SUPPOSED GET TOGETHER TO HAVE A FAMILY GET-TOGETHER.

I DON'T WANT TO TALK ABOUT THIS.

Y'ALL ALREADY KNOW

HOW I FEEL ABOUT THE WHOLE SITUATION.

OKAY, LADIES.

WE'RE GONNA GO AHEAD AND HAVE A CONVERSATION WITH THE GUYS.

...SINCE MONSTER MADE HIS...

BOY, SHE PUT THE BRAKES ON THAT, DIDN'T SHE?

THIS WAS SUPPOSED TO BE A NICE FAMILY DINNER,

BUT FOR REAL, CAN WE JUST ALL GET ALONG?

THIS IS NOT THE TIME OR PLACE FOR THIS RIGHT NOW.

ALL THIS ENERGY IS GOOD.

I LIKE IT. -THIS ENERGY IS NOT GOOD.

...BECAUSE I'M GONNA NEED THIS ENERGY...

I LIKE WHAT HE'S SAYING.

...BECAUSE I WANT US TO DO SOME STUFF

FOR VOTER REGISTRATION. HE PUT ME OUT.

AND SO I NEED ALL THIS ENERGY...

LISTEN! LISTEN! TWO EARS.

THAT SAME ENERGY. I JUST GOT A MOUTH.

KIMMI SAID SHE NEED THAT ENERGY TO FOLLOW HER TO HER NEXT EVENT.

-LISTEN! -WHAT EVENT IS THIS, KIMMI?

I HAD TALKED TO MILLI THE OTHER DAY,

AND MILLI AND I WERE KIND OF BRAINSTORMING ABOUT SOME STUFF

WE COULD DO TO KIND OF HELP REMIND PEOPLE

TO GET OUT AND VOTE.

WHO'S ALL GONNA BE A PART OF THE EVENT?

OBVIOUSLY, I WANT TO EXTEND THE INVITATION TO EVERYBODY,

MELODY AND ALL OF THEM, AND I DON'T KNOW...

I WANT THAT TO BE A...

SO WE'RE GONNA HAVE DIFFERENT TEAMS, BASICALLY.

YOU SAID, "TEAMS"?

I'M JUST SAYING, WE COULD HAVE A TEAM "A" AND TEAM "B."

I DIDN'T THINK ABOUT TEAMS. I THINK SO.

BUT THAT SOUNDS REASONABLE.

YEAH.

GUYS, Y'ALL DON'T UNDERSTAND WHAT HAPPENED.

Maurice: WHAT HAPPENED?

I'M OVER HERE WORKING AT BLACK THE OTHER DAY.

ME AND JAYLIN SITTING THERE WORKING.

IN COME THROUGH THE DOOR,

JUST A-SWITCHING COMES...

MARTELL?

[ LAUGHTER ]

Wanda: OH, GOD!

OH, GOD! I GOT TO PUT MY CHEST IN IT NOW,

FOR REAL.

NO, NO, NO, NO, NO.

[ YELLS INDISTINCTLY ]

OH, NO!

NO, BUT SERIOUSLY...

IT WAS A JOKE!

[ LAUGHTER ]

NO, BUT SERIOUSLY, IT WAS...

[ SPEAKS INDISTINCTLY ]

MEL...SO MEL COMES THROUGH THE DOOR,

AND I'M SITTING HERE AT BLACK, AND I SWEAR TO GOD,

THEY'RE CLAIMING RIGHT NOW, JUST SO YOU'RE AWARE,

AND YOU'LL SEE IT,

THEY'RE SAYING THAT I PUT THEIR TAX INFORMATION OUT.

SO THEY'RE SAYING THAT I'M TRYING TO RUIN THEIR BRAND,

AND I TOLD THEM THAT I THINK THERE'S TWO PEOPLE

THAT ARE MORE RESPONSIBLE FOR RUINING THEIR BRAND THAN ME.

BUT I DIDN'T REALLY GO INTO THE DETAILS

OF WHO THE TWO PEOPLE ARE.

YOU SHOULDN'T EVEN BE TALKING TO THEM!

WELL, YOU TALKING ABOUT... YOU SHOULD'VE KICKED HER BUTT

RIGHT BACK OUT THE DOOR LIKE SHE DID YOUR WIFE.

OH, MA. THAT WHAT YOU SHOULD'VE DONE.

I DON'T DO THAT. I DON'T DO THAT.

MAN, YOU GONNA SIT THERE. I DON'T CARE WHAT YOU DON'T DO.

THAT WHAT YOU SHOULD HAVE DONE, THOUGH.

OKAY.

MEL CONTACTED ME AND INVITED THE GIRLS

TO HER DAUGHTER'S BIRTHDAY PARTY.

WE'RE GONNA THINK ABOUT IT, AND WE MAY,

AND WE MAY NOT, BUT WE MAY.

Wanda: SO ARE Y'ALL GOING?

ARE WE GOING? MORE THAN LIKELY.

MORE THAN LIKELY. I FIGURED THAT.

THAT WHAT?

JUST BEING SHADY, ALL OVER THERE BEING SHADY.

OH, YOU'RE SAYING YOU'RE BEING SHADY?

-NO, Y'ALL ARE. -OH.

HOW ARE WE BEING SHADY?

KIMMI.

NO, I MEAN, I'M GOING, TOO.

WE'RE A TEAM AND GOING TOGETHER,

SO HOW ARE WE BEING SHADY?

SO BOTH OF YOU ARE. BOTH OF Y'ALL ARE.

OKAY, SO HOW ARE WE BEING SHADY?

ARE YOU A TRUE SCOTT, OR ARE YOU DOWN WITH THE HOLTS?

ZIP IT. HEY, WANDA.

I FEEL LIKE THAT'S BEING VERY SHADY.

DO YOU THINK WE'RE SHADY?

HOW CAN YOU GO SOMEWHERE, AND YOU CONSIDER YOURSELVES

SITTING HERE WITH YOUR SISTER ALL THE TIME,

AND Y'ALL COMMUNICATE,

AND THEN Y'ALL ARE GONNA JUST TAKE ONE SIDE?

EITHER Y'ALL DOWN WITH THE HOLTS...

YOU THINK I SHOULD DENY MACI'S FRIENDS...

YES.

...BASED ON MY RELATIONSHIP WITH THEIR PARENTS?

YES, YES, YES... OKAY. OKAY.

...BECAUSE IF I CAN'T TRUST A FRIEND, I CAN'T TRUST...

I'M JUST GLAD YOU'RE NOT MACI'S --

...I'M NOT GOING TO TRUST MY CHILD...

I'M GLAD YOU'RE NOT MACI'S PARENT.

...AROUND A FRIEND THAT I CANNOT TRUST.

THEY'RE NOT YOUR FRIENDS. THEY'RE NOT MY FRIENDS.

OKAY. BUT MY DAUGHTER HAS A FRIEND.

SO WHY I WOULD TAKE MY CHILD AROUND THERE?

BECAUSE MY DAUGHTER HAS A FRIEND.

YOUR DAUGHTER CAN HAVE MORE FRIENDS.

THAT KIND OF LOGIC MAKES ABSOLUTELY NO SENSE TO ME.

THANK YOU, THOUGH.

OKAY, WELL, MAYBE NOT. RIGHT.

MAYBE NOT. I'M GLAD THEY'RE MY KIDS.

BUT SAYING THAT TO ME THAT YOU EAT [BLEEP]

THAT'S WHAT IT SEEMED LIKE TO ME.

WHAT'S EATING [BLEEP] GOT TO DO WITH THIS?

THAT WHAT YOU DOING. THAT EXACTLY WHAT YOU DOING.

YOU'D BE SURPRISED WHOSE [BLEEP] I EAT.

YOU'D BE SURPRISED WHOSE [BLEEP] I EAT.

NO, NO, NO, NO, NO. YOU WOULD.

I'M GONNA TELL Y'ALL SOMETHING.

WHOO!

¶ HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO YOU ¶

¶ HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO KIMMI ¶

OH, THAT'S FOR ME?

¶ HAPPY BIRTHDAY ¶

YAY, ME!

YAY! THANK YOU, LATISHA!

YOU'RE WELCOME!

BROUGHT IT OUT SO FAST!

OH, I'M GETTING CAKE EVERY DAY!

NEXT ON "LOVE & MARRIAGE: HUNTSVILLE"...

SO THERE'S THIS AMAZING LADY,

AND SHE'S PUTTING TOGETHER THIS STAGE PLAY,

AND SHE WANTS YOU TO BE A PART.

WOW. I THINK IT'S A GOOD IDEA.

Martell: THAT DOESN'T MEAN WE GOT TO TAKE IT.

HOLD ON. DON'T GET MAD.

BUT A LOT OF THINGS THAT WE'RE DOING RIGHT NOW,

EVERYTHING ISN'T BRINGING IN MONEY.

SO IF WE KEEP DISHING OUR MONEY OUT,

WE'LL MESS AROUND AND BE BROKE.

HE TOLD ME THAT HE WASN'T ACCEPTING MY RESIGNATION.

YOU TAKING MY LAST NAME IS VERY IMPORTANT TO ME.

WE'LL TALK ABOUT THIS IN COUNSELING.

I JUST WANT TO JUST TRY TO STOP THE MEANNESS.

SO WHERE DO YOU THINK THE MEANNESS COMES FROM?

YOU AND YOUR HUSBAND.
