[Jada] Previously, on "The Chi"...

[doctor] This cancer is more aggressive than we thought.

She'll need someone to drive her

to and from her first chemo treatment.

I can do that.

Thanks for keeping this from Nina.

Well, I'ma have to tell her something at some point.

You know she got a third eye.

You wanna try Molly?

[Nina] I know you going through a lot.

[Kevin] I'm not going to therapy.

That does not mean you need to start self-medicating.

[Octavia] I want to be honest with you.

My husband and I are getting a divorce.

I've just wanted a child for a very long time.

I appreciate you coming by,

but it's important that my child be raised

in a two-parent household.

[Ethereal music]

The police officer said you posed a threat.

Why do you think that they felt threatened by you?

[Jake] They see all of us as threats.

You know why we say, "Fuck the police"?

'Cause that's how we feel.

[Imani] One of Nuck's girls came into my shop today.

Do her hair.

[Imani] She wanted me to help her.

[Trig] The fuck you want me to do?

[Imani] I want you to tell Nuck to leave her alone.

Can't tell that nigga what to do.

He don't work for me.

You know, I'm beat.

I'm gonna head home, have a nightcap,

and call it a day.

Can I join you?

[Roselyn] I guess my invitation got lost in the mail.

I like to watch.

- [Tiff] Dante. - [Emmett] Is you fuckin'

- that nigga? - [Tiff] Yeah.

I want us to have an open marriage.

So you want me to fuck other people?

[Tiff] I just want you to be honest about it.

And I'll be honest with you.

So we both fucking other people?

Lucky Daye's "Karma" playing

I'd come and meet her mama

Boy, you about to make me...

Karma, Karma, Karma

She won't stop coming around

[person] Yo, where you at?

You good?

[Somber music]

[Roselyn] Congratulations.

[Tracy] Excuse me?

You just fucked the mayor of Chicago.

Well, what do I win?

It depends. What do you want?

[chuckles]

You don't even know, do you?

You've been so busy trying to busy yourself,

you just tripped and fell into the lion's den.

I just wanna go home.

I can't let you do that.

I'm not trying to kidnap you.

The building is surrounded by protesters.

Apparently, blue lives do matter.

[protesters shouting]

Fuck.

Welcome to politics.

[Dramatic music]

What am I supposed to do now?

Well, the chef is still here.

Why don't you have a seat and have breakfast?

*THE CHI* Season 04 Episode 04

Episode Title: "The Girl From Chicago" Aired on: June 13, 2021.

[Nina] Dr. Kwame, Kevin has lost his mind.

[Dr. Kwame] Okay. Can you be more specific?

[Nina] He's got a drinking problem.

- No, I don't. - [Dre] Yeah, and that shit

seems to run in they family, so...

[Nina] It runs in yours too, Dre.

[Dr. Kwame] Kevin, do you think you have a drinking problem?

[Kevin] Hell nah.

[Dre] Of course he doesn't. He doesn't know the difference.

[Dr. Kwame] Kevin, do you feel the need to drink

when you're angry or upset?

[Kevin] No.

[Dre] Look, we all know he's been through a lot,

but we've been right there with him.

Now, between Kiesha trying to find

a family for the baby and...

me and Nina not being on the best of the terms...

Let's not get into our shit.

We just wanna keep our family together.

I'm tired.

I can't hold his hand anymore.

- I just need a break. - Me too.

[Dr. Kwame] Can you elaborate on that, Kevin?

I just feel like they're all over me, you know?

And why do you think that is, Kev?

[Dr. Kwame] Nina, is there something you'd like to say?

We've been on him.

But that's because I almost lost my daughter last year.

That's something you don't forget.

I damn near have a panic attack whenever they leave the house.

When I'm at work, I can barely concentrate.

[Dre] It's all right. It's all right.

I'm all over him

because I don't wanna get that dreaded call.

What call?

That one of y'all laying dead in a ditch somewhere.

Kevin, let's say your parents did give you more freedom.

How would you react?

I'd be-I'd be happy.

[Dr. Kwame] Well, can you be trusted to come home

at a decent hour, get your schoolwork done

without them having to bug you about it?

- She asked you a question. - [Kevin] I'm thinking about it.

Yeah. They can trust me.

Nina, you don't seem too convinced.

Because we've heard all that before.

- See, she doesn't believe in me. - [Nina] Boy...

Let's just all start with a fresh slate.

[Dre] Right.

Kev.

[Sentimental music]

Kevin...

we believe in you.

We do.

This is the situation that Jake has put me in.

[Douda] I understand that.

I totally get what you're saying, Fields.

That makes a lot of sense too.

Let me, um... let me tell you something.

Sorry I got you in trouble.

I'm just glad you told the truth.

Yeah, but I ain't have to do it on your show, though.

I want my show to be real,

not just some dumb shit I do for extra credit.

Why you always try to make people mad?

'Cause if people don't get mad, they'll never change.

[chuckles]

I guess you're right.

I know I'm right.

[door clicks open]

All right, we have a verdict.

Jake, you do not have to apologize for what you said.

You have the freedom to say it.

And to be honest, if I were you,

I would have said the same shit.

For once, justice is served.

Not so fast.

I knew it.

[Fields] I'm calling a moratorium

on BAMN and all BAMN-related activities.

Why?

Because the guest on your show incited violence.

No, I didn't!

All right, hey, let's-let's calm down.

A violent act was committed against an innocent Black boy,

and because he talked about it on my show,

you wanna call a moratorium?

This is bullshit.

Hey, watch your mouth, young lady.

[Fields] We're pulling your show.

- For how long? - Until all this calms down.

Oh, so when racism is over, then I get to get my show back?

That's fucked up.

Okay, both of y'all need to be thankful

that you're not getting kicked out of school.

Fuck this school.

Okay, don't even think about it.

[chuckles]

[Fields] Whatever happened

to a good old-fashioned ass-whupping?

It stopped working.

Or we let white folks convince us it was wrong.

It's better for us to show them the power of their words.

Well,

look what happens when you do that.

I know.

They start thinking for themselves.

[Tense music]

[car horn honks]

[indistinct chatter]

[distant siren wailing]

[hip-hop music playing over stereo]

Yeah, just sit and run your mouth

While I'm flippin', runnin' round...

Hurry your ass up, a'ight?

All right.

[Dramatic music]

[lively music playing over speakers]

Don't worry.

I already pulled some stuff for you.

- You ain't gotta rush. - He be watching the clock.

I got you.

All right, I can sneak out tonight.

Meet me at the corner of 69th and Cottage at 8:30.

Okay, use this if you need to call me.

Do you have a place to stay?

- No. Not yet. - What the fuck?

My girl who I was gonna stay with

said her man ain't want another bitch at the house.

It's okay. We'll figure it out.

Just get your shit and get out of here.

[cash register beeping]

[knock at door]

- [Troy] Hello. - [Nina] Come on in.

[Troy] Should we take off our shoes?

Oh, no, no. You good.

This is a nice place.

Thank you. We just moved in.

[Nina] There's been a lot of changes this year.

[Trish] Well, change can be a good thing, right?

Sometimes.

Well, where do we start?

Why don't you tell us about your family?

[Trish] And these are our adopted angels.

This is Taylor, this is Simone, and that's Joshua.

And don't worry, he's not injured.

He just has a lazy eye.

[Nina laughs] Adorable.

Do y'all constantly remind

y'all's children they're adopted?

[Troy] Oh, no, but we do like to be truthful.

They know they were born in another woman's belly,

but they were born in our hearts.

- Y'all can't have kids? - Kiesha.

[Troy] No, we can't.

He has a low sperm count, and I had ovarian cancer.

- I'm sorry. - I'm so sorry.

But we are grateful to all the women out there

who nurtured our babies to life.

And now we get to hold their hand the rest of the way.

And we would just love to add another angel to our team,

and we think that child might be in your belly.

Plus, they've all been begging for another sibling.

How many kids y'all plan on adopting?

W-we hope yours will be our last.

Okay, I think you answered all my questions.

Yeah, me too.

Well, thank you for inviting us into your lovely home.

[Nina] We appreciate you making the trip.

[Trish] I know this won't be an easy decision to make,

so take your time.

Thanks.

But it's obvious you're good at making godly decisions.

What?

Well, you already chose to make the godly decision

by not killing your baby.

That decision ain't have nothing to do with God.

[Troy] Everything has to do with God.

- Says who? - [Trish] God.

We don't just read the Bible in our house.

We live by it too.

[Troy] And so do all our little angels.

[Apprehensive music]

Okay.

Thank you again for making the trip.

Well, have a great rest of your day.

[Nina] You do the same.

- [Jemma] Let's do a walkout. - [Jake] When?

[Jemma] Tomorrow. Third period.

[Kevin] That's when everyone's in homeroom.

I know.

I'm down for the cause.

Whatever you need, I got you.

- [Jemma] Thank you, D. - How you supposed

to get everyone to just walk out of class?

[Jemma] Our Instagram. I'll just DM everyone.

Wow, so you want proof that this was your idea?

Look, everyone in BAMN is trustworthy.

- Yeah. - Mm-hmm.

Y'all are crazy.

Kev, just 'cause you scared

don't mean everybody else can't do it.

Look, I just got my freedom.

Nigga, why you sound like a runaway slave?

[Jemma] Technically, we all live on a big plantation,

but that's another conversation for a different day.

Look, my parents promised they'd get off my back

if I just, you know, stayed out of trouble.

But this is good trouble, Kevin.

They would be proud.

[Kevin] Yeah, I know, I just...

I just don't wanna lose their trust.

[Jake] Man, I'm tired of behaving.

I'm tired of trying to be a good little Negro.

I don't owe this school nothing.

Jake, these rich kids gonna be a'ight.

We don't got no trust fund.

What you trying to say, Kevin?

I'm saying that your daddy gots the money

to bail you out of jail if somebody calls the cops.

- Ain't nobody calling the cops. - [Kevin] Wow.

Spoken like the spoiled little Black girl you are.

[Tense music]

[train squealing]

[Tiff] Mm-mm, see, that's why I'm religious

but I do not go to church.

I can't with some of them people.

They wanna be Jesus so bad.

[Kiesha] Yeah, that's why I'm like,

"I can't leave my baby with y'all."

I want my baby to be free.

[scoffs]

I don't know how EJ gonna turn out.

We need more church in his life 'cause his parents is a mess.

- [both laugh] - Y'all not that bad.

Would you give your baby to us?

- Mm-mm. No. - See?

And I can't even be mad at you, girl.

We crazy.

But we do love our babies, though.

Where is EJ?

[laughs]

He either at my mama or Emmett's mama.

[laughs]

That's why you don't need to be no mom yet.

This shit is hard, girl. Me and Emmett barely making it.

Y'all okay?

[Tiff] We a'ight.

Trying something a little different.

Like what?

Get out of my business.

[Kiesha] Bitch, we used to share that nigga, okay?

- [both laugh] - Shut up.

Just spill the tea.

[Tiff] Hold on. Hold on.

What y'all over here talking about?

None of your business.

If you talking about it in my restaurant, it is my business.

Boy, shut up. And we need to talk anyway.

- Kiesha, give me two seconds. - [Kiesha] Okay.

- Gonna need more than that. - Come on.

Coming over here with a attitude.

[Emmett] Don't push me in front of my customers.

Wrong with you?

[soft music playing over speakers]

So you really just gonna fuck Donna and not tell me?

I ain't even know you knew Donna!

I told you that's the bitch from my old job

who was always spreading rumors about me.

I can't keep up with all the bitches you hate.

Wait a minute.

We open now. I can fuck whoever I want.

Not bitches that used to work at Seaway with me.

How you even know we fucked?

[sighs]

'Cause I can smell

her cheap-ass perfume all up on my couch.

And don't be bringing bitches to our house

where we raise our son.

The fuck is wrong with you?

You got too many rules.

I wouldn't have to if you showed some respect.

Oh, and you Miss Respectful?

Yeah, 'cause I ain't out here fucking a bunch of niggas.

Nah, just one.

He must got something you like

because you keep going back for seconds and thirds.

So, what, you want me to diversify?

I want you to stop playing house with that nigga.

[scoffs]

A'ight, we-we definitely need to set some ground rules.

Like what?

Our boundaries, who's off-limits,

who we can and can't fuck more than once.

Nobody.

[scoffs] Look, I don't have time for this.

We'll talk later.

[Tense music]

[dramatic jazz music]

[distant siren wailing]

[touch tones beeping]

- [line trilling] - Pick up. Pick up.

Pick up. Pick up. Pick up. Pick up.

[breathes heavily] Pick up.

[voice mail] I'm sorry, but the person you've called

has a voice mail box that has not been set up yet.

[indistinct chatter]

I really appreciate your support.

Means a lot.

Of course. I got you.

[Kevin] Hey. Y'all need help?

Nah, we got it.

I thought you were trying to stay out of trouble.

Look, I ain't trying to be no punk.

I just can't be on the front lines with y'all right now.

So your freedom is more important than the revolution?

This is not really a revolution.

It's our revolution.

How am I supposed to help the revolution

if my freedom gets taken away?

[school bell rings]

[Dramatic music]

Is Octavia Matthews in?

[receptionist] Octavia, you have a visitor.

Uh-huh. Okay.

She's just finishing up a meeting.

- You can have a seat. - Okay.

[indistinct chatter]

Can I ask you a quick question?

Mm-hmm.

How long have you been working for Octavia?

I mean, is she a good boss? Do you like her?

What's your name?

Kiesha.

Ah, yes.

She mentioned me?

She's a very private person.

I've worked for her for seven years

and still don't know much about her.

But I do know she greets me with a smile every morning.

She never forgets a birthday.

And when my mother passed, she helped pay for the funeral

because my dad had just lost his job.

- [phone rings] - Oh.

Okay. She's ready for you.

Come with me.

[indistinct chatter]

You need anything? Water, coffee?

[Kiesha] I'm good. Thanks.

She'll be with you shortly. Just make yourself at home.

- [door clicks shut] - [Octavia] Kiesha.

What a lovely surprise.

What brings you here?

I wanted to ask you a few more questions.

Absolutely. Whatever you need.

Did you design all this? It's... it's beautiful.

I did.

So this is how it started?

Mm-hmm.

Well, how'd you get it to look like this?

Well, with a vision and a lot of help.

How'd you see all of it?

That's my job.

To see a pile of rubble and make something beautiful.

What do you see when you look at me?

There's a big difference between a young woman

and a pile of rubble.

My specialty is buildings, not people.

Well, if I was a building...

what kind would I be?

[Sentimental music]

You'd be strong and sturdy.

Survive fires and hurricanes.

You'd be too strong to ever be destroyed.

[indistinct chatter]

[teacher] Hello, guys.

Soft dramatic music

Okay, everyone.

If you're not studying, you should be.

Jake and Jemma, you have not been excused.

Please take your seats.

Jake and Jemma,

you do not have permission to leave my classroom.

Dramatic percussive music

Where is everybody? I sent out a gang of DMs.

They said the revolution would not be televised.

Shut up, Dakota.

[Dakota] Don't get mad at me.

I'm the only one that didn't flake.

- What happened? - Kevin scared everyone.

[clears throat] Why aren't y'all in class?

Um, we wanna talk to Principal Fields.

Well, he's not here.

Yeah, right.

And who do you think you're talking to?

May I ask where he is?

[sighs]

Look, not that it's any of your business.

He left early for a dentist appointment.

He's not even here?

[clerk] Go learn something.

So what now?

- Fuck it, I got an idea. - What?

Grab your stuff.

[Up-tempo music]

[fire alarm blaring]

[Dakota] Run!

I'll stay behind and be the white shield.

[singers vocalizing]

So what are we supposed to do now, go home?

No, you can't go home, 'cause then your parents

are gonna know you did something wrong.

You supposed to stay out till it's time to go home.

But that's hours from now.

Let's hit the L. Let's see what we get into.

A'ight.

- You like fish sandwiches? - I ain't never had one.

[Soft sultry music]

Are you gonna come out?

Why are you doing all this?

'Cause I want to.

[Tracy chuckles]

Is this for the crowd or for your viewing pleasure?

- Both. - Hmm.

Still don't know why I'm introducing you

and not your wife.

Well, you know, my wife saying nice things

about me don't mean shit.

But a, um, community leader blessing me,

that means something else.

Oh, so you're using me?

Come on, now. We using each other.

And how am I using you?

You wanna be heard, right? Hmm?

Yeah.

Well, I'm giving you a very big microphone.

[laughs]

I wanna be seen too.

I'm looking right at you.

How many times you gonna deny your queen, Kev?

How am I denying her?

You always putting your needs before hers.

I always put her needs before mine.

And the one time I need to do something for myself...

...she ghosts me.

Y'all two should come on my show and work it out.

Hell nah, bro.

If people watch y'all heal,

they'll wanna heal themselves.

It's a two-for-one.

Think I care about other people healing?

- You know what your problem is? - What?

- You selfish. - No, I'm not.

You won't help Jemma. You won't help Jake.

You won't help me. You won't even help yourself.

All right, fine.

I'll do your stupid show. Happy?

Look at you, growing already.

Shut up, Papa.

So much pent-up anger.

[Pensive music]

[Kiesha] Thank you for taking the time to meet with me.

[Octavia] Of course.

You hungry?

[chuckles] Always.

[groans]

- You okay? - I don't know.

Okay, okay.

Look, I'm gonna take you to the nearest hospital,

and I want you to call your mother, okay?

- Come on. - Okay.

It's okay. It's all right.

- [Emmett] Okay, so... - [Tiff] So what?

[Emmett] ...what's the rules? Like, what is it?

[Tiff] No bitches in our house.

[Emmett] Cool.

[Tiff] Or our car.

[Emmett] Hold up. Hold up, now.

[scoffs]

This technically my car.

- [Tiff scoffs] - [Emmett] But cool.

I want all these hos to know you married

before y'all get in the bed.

- I object. - Go ahead.

A lot of these women ain't down for fucking a married man.

Protect Black women is real in these streets.

- Then fuck a white bitch. - I don't like white girls.

Find somebody that's free-spirited.

- [scoffs] - And I don't wanna hear about

who you fucking in the streets,

so you better keep that shit away from me.

Is it my turn yet?

- Go ahead. - No more Dante.

I object.

Go ahead.

You the reason we doing this in the first place, Emmett.

So you don't get to tell me who I can and can't fuck.

But you call tell me who I can fuck.

I'm giving you limitations.

He's my limitation.

He was here before litigation, Emmett.

He's off-limits.

[scoffs]

What does litigation mean?

Anything that existed before this conversation

doesn't count, okay?

I'm serious. Stop fucking that nigga.

- No. - Overruled.

That doesn't make any sense.

Make it make sense, then.

You want me out here

catching dick from a bunch of different niggas?

That's what you telling me?

No, that's... that's definitely not what...

Then what are you saying?

I don't know.

So you gonna stop giving me shit about Dante?

I guess so.

All right, cool.

[engine turning over]

[Soft R&B music]

Would you mind if

Dante.

We talked a little while

Would you mind if, mind if, mind if, mind

If I asked you to stay

Oh, would you mind

Would you mind, would you mind

If I asked you

To lay with me

Oh, to stay

Next to me for...

I'm gonna give y'all some time to join up

'cause I don't want y'all in the comments looking lost

once it starts getting good.

Now, Kevin is trying to get back in his lady's good graces.

He needs to take accountability.

He needs to apologize and mean it and figure out

how to show up for his woman in a meaningful way.

Uh... uh...

Um... [chuckles]

...Jemma, I'm sorry for not doing the walkout.

- Don't be a snitch. - Oh.

Sorry you felt unsupported today.

- Own your stuff, brother. - Yeah.

I should have stood by you,

should have put all my fears to the side

and showed up for you even though

I didn't agree with your method.

- No, don't insult her. - Oh.

Love, love how you stand up for everybody.

Perfect, wrap it up.

Oh, uh, I love you.

And I hope you call me back. Please...

All right, all right.

Now you're starting to sound desperate.

Um, that concludes another episode of Papa's Pulpit.

Uh, shout-out to all my fans.

Appreciate your support. God bless you, and good night.

Guess I am desperate.

It's gonna be okay, Kev.

Is it?

Yeah. Black love always wins.

[indistinct chatter]

- [Trig] Hey, bae... - I'm not here for you.

Okay, listen, I'm gonna need you guys to make sure...

[indistinct chatter]

- Tracy? - [Tracy] Yes, ma'am.

How you gonna be a community activist

but you ain't protecting everybody in the community?

[Tracy] Who are you?

You know who I am.

Oh, you Trig's girl. That's right.

Oh, I'm more than that.

I am so sorry. I did not mean it like that.

How can I help you?

I'm trying to help those girls in that fucking trap house,

and I feel like I'm doing it by myself.

I've been trying to get that trap house raided for years.

Just 'cause it's not in the papers

don't mean it ain't happening.

Well, you need to do more.

Talk to me.

Right there, bae. What's going on?

What the fuck are you doing?

I was supposed to meet Trinity last night,

and she never showed up.

- That's why you was out late? - Yeah.

Trig, how can we help?

- I'll go talk to Nuck. - Is that gonna be enough?

Well, we gonna need a warrant if we wanna clear it out.

That's gonna be hard to do; ain't none of those women

in there being held against their will.

You've been to that fucking house.

You know that shit ain't true.

Come on, listen, let me go holler at Nuck

and see if I can handle this shit quietly.

You need to hurry up,

'cause if you don't handle it quietly,

I'ma handle it loud as fuck!

[Apprehensive music]

Hey, how you gonna protect the block

if your own house ain't in order?

Okay, uh...

it's just Braxton-Hicks.

I figured.

[Kiesha] So I'm all good.

Uh, not exactly.

What does that mean?

Well, the mother's blood pressure is too high.

The mother has a name.

Sorry. I've got a lot of patients.

So what I have to do to get it down?

I think we need to induce labor.

- Today? - Are you serious?

There could be tons of reasons for the high blood pressure.

Why are we jumping the gun?

Just to prevent further complications

or possible brain damage, I think we should induce.

- Brain damage? - [Octavia] Wait a second.

Let's not make any rash decisions.

[Dr. Hines] Well, I don't think it's up to you.

Just give us a minute.

[Tense music]

I'll give you two some time.

Just breathe.

Everything's gonna be all right.

Man, how I'ma tell Kev to be honest about his whereabouts

and I can't even be honest about my own?

He's a child. We grown.

Well, at some point, you gonna have to let me

tell Nina something; she's starting to act crazy.

You can't tell her before I tell Emmett.

J, what is taking so long?

[sighs]

'Cause he ain't ready to stand on his own two yet.

I know if anything happened,

he wouldn't be able to handle it.

You're not giving him enough credit.

I know my child.

Fine. I'll wait.

But please, can you just tell him something soon?

I wanna tell him tomorrow.

Don't be afraid to lean on your new boo.

- He's not my boo. - Stop lying.

I'm not trying to rush into anything.

Girl, we too grown to be taking our time.

[chuckles]

- I know that's right. - [chuckles]

[phone rings]

See? Nina.

[smooth music playing over speakers]

- [laughs] - So? What you think?

- That I've been missing out. - [both chuckle]

You got a...

...there. Uh-oh. Uh.

What is it?

I got it. Just trust me.

Close your eyes.

It's just a eyelash.

Now I gotta make a wish.

Hmm?

Watch.

[laughs] What'd you wish for?

I can't tell you.

I think I can guess.

Were you right?

I thought you wished for more than just a kiss.

Get your mind out the gutter.

Nah! It's not even like that.

I thought you wished that you was my girl.

[Ethereal music]

Yo

I'm runnin' plays

Plays

I'm runnin' plays

I'm runnin'

I'm runnin' plays

[hip-hop music playing over stereo]

[Nuck] How you coming? Everything smooth?

[biker] Yeah, I'm good.

Here you go.

Where Trinity at?

Why you asking?

You know why.

I do.

You need to tell your bitch

to mind her own fucking business.

Chill.

He ain't on the crumb.

Bitch, don't forget I ain't scared to die.

Don't make me ask you that shit again.

[distant dog barking]

[Soft music]

[line beeps]

You better have a good reason for your phone being off, Dre.

This is my fifth message.

I'm at the hospital with Kiesha.

They wanna induce labor.

Look, call me back.

[Octavia] Just relax.

Everything's gonna be just fine.

But I do think you should get a second opinion.

And what if I don't have time for that?

I just get nervous when doctors don't explore

all the possibilities.

What he's suggesting is what's gonna

get you out of here the quickest.

You know better than the doctor?

Absolutely not.

But I've lost enough babies to know doctors

don't have all the answers.

I'm sorry, I didn't mean to trigger you.

I just want what's best for Kiesha and the baby.

Well, if inducing the baby right now is the best thing,

then let's just do it.

What did you eat today?

Corned beef on rye, a salad with a Mistic.

Let's get you a glass of water.

We'll have the doctor check you in a couple minutes, okay?

Let's just wait and see what the doctor says, okay?

[chuckles] Why you always knockin' when I knock?

Look, bro, now ain't the time.

Where my mama at?

She's resting.

All that dick you been giving her?

That's why she always tired these days?

Look, she wanna talk to you.

[Emmett scoffs]

Come on, EJ. Go in there and play.

Y'all say y'all getting married,

I'm walking out that door, and y'all ain't gonna

never see me again.

Where she at?

[EJ babbles]

Huh? She in there?

Ma!

[scoffs] You pregnant?

She's not pregnant.

Then what the fuck is going on?

Emmett... Emmett...

...I have cancer.

[Solemn music]

[Jada groans]

It appears your blood pressure is back to normal.

Well, look at that.

I'm glad it was temporary.

You're the one.

Sentimental music

What?

Everyone keeps telling me to listen to my gut.

My gut keeps telling me it's you.

Thank you.

You're a blessing.

You are too.

Sometimes I'd just

Rather stay at home and chill

Sometimes I wish

I ain't never catch feels

Just wanna roll and smoke 'em up, no crime

Roll it, roll it, roll it up one time

Why your lovin' always gets me high

I'm so confused

- Why do you do this to me -[phone ringing]

Every time

Exposing feelings that I...

[Jemma] It's Kevin.

[Jake groans]

I'm in too deep

So it's too late

So what do we do now?

For us to turn back now...

I don't know.

What you mean you don't know? We kissed.

You kissed me.

So? You kissed me back.

So?

We got these feelings

That we never show

[Jake] Where is you going?

Your goofy ass live this way.

[phone ringing]

[line trilling]

And give in to us

Look what you do

Why do you do this to me

Every time

Exposing feelings...

[Nina] I'm just glad she was there.

Ugh.

Just a bit late.

Oh, if this is your idea of an apology,

you gotta do better than this.

What you mean, baby? What happened?

- She almost died. - What?

[Kiesha] No, I didn't. I had Braxton-Hicks. I'm fine.

Damn, bae, you can't be scaring me like that.

- [Kiesha] Chill, Mom. - Where were you?

Baby, you know I have to turn my phone off

when I'm doing my sessions.

You gotta check in, Dre.

Babe, just chill, okay?

I'm sorry. It won't happen again.

Giveon's "Heartbreak Anniversary" playing

[Dre] Who those for?

Y'all.

- I guess therapy is working. - [Dre] I guess so.

[Kiesha] You ain't get me nothing.

I'll put 'em in some water.

Mm-mm-mm

Still got your things here

And they stare at me like souvenirs

Don't wanna let you out my head

Just like the day that I met you

The day I thought forever

Said that you love me, but that'll last for never

It's cold outside like when you walked out my life

Why you walk out my life

I

Get like this every time

On these days that feel like you and me

Heartbreak anniversary

'Cause I

Remember every time

On these days that feel like you and me

Heartbreak anniversary

Do you ever think of me

Ooh-ooh-ooh...

What's wrong?

Why you always know when something wrong?

'Cause we connected. What's wrong?

[Trig sighs]

Did you give that to her?

Yeah.

Nuck had it.

Where is she?

[sighs]

They found her body over on Bishop.

[Somber music]
