- Whoo! - Come on now!
Hey, hey!
Hello, Oak Bluffs!
So, did you know that the Black elite
have been coming here since the late 1800s?
Oh, and we have to go to Nancy's Restaurant
because Sasha Obama had a summer job there.
Okay. Goals. Thank you.
"Goals"? What? Working at a restaurant?
Being Sasha Obama.
Why you got us riding around,
hair blowing, like white women selling shampoo?
Now, you know we're selling more than shampoo.
What are we selling?
Identity and...?
Freedom!
Yes! Yes, girl!
But I swear, if this wig fall off...
Mom, pull over.
That water is probably cold, baby girl.
I don't care.
This is my first time at the beach.
Cold or not, I'm getting in.
There's gonna be a lot of firsts for you this summer.
Really? Well...
let's have a swim, then.
Eee! First swim of the summer!
Well, I ain't going near the water.
I don't want my 'do to get wet.
Ooh. Whoo!
Feels good!
You coming for me?!
Oh, you -- you coming --Uh-huh!
You okay, Ange?
All this reminds me of Mama.
We're only here because of her.
The deed she left on that old building...
I'm sorry. I just...
Yes, we are here because of her,
to finish what she couldn't.
Opening up a pop-up shop where she used to work as a maid
is full circle.
And this is your homage, child.
So you ain't got to apologize for the feeling.
I always said grieving people should have, like,
wristbands or something,
'cause it just -- it just rolls in when it wants to.
Well, just let it roll, baby.
'Cause my baby sister -- she's here.
I love you.
I know she is smiling down at us right now,
asking who stole her conditioner.
Mm-hmm.
Talkin' 'bout "shea butter does not grow on trees."
Yes, it do.
I'm like...
So, we just got to the Vineyard.
Kek4drake wants to know what I'm wearing.
Thirsty Couture 2021.
Okay, Lauren, we do not flaunt our money.
We do not sell our bodies. We use our minds.
You know, there's a higher expectation for you both.
You're Duponts and Franklins.
Don't ever forget that.
Let's put away the phone, sweetheart.
For now.
Welcome back!
I'll have the luggage loaded into the car.
Thank you, Jackie.
Well, you were supposed to be here over an hour ago.
I started thinking I was going to have to prep
for tonight's gala alone.
Well, I told you I had it under control.
Well, do you?
Because summer starts tonight, and this party sets the bar
for the Graceties' fundraising efforts.
Kids, why don't you and Mama Liv go catch up?
Thanks for having my back.
- Of course. - Mm-hmm.
You know, I birthed two beautiful grandchildren for her,
and she still comes for me.
Well, you know Mama Liv's always on 10.
Mm. And you wouldn't love her if she wasn't.
You wanna bet?
No, not at all.
But as this summer is about us
getting our marriage back on track,
back to where we were, I'll always have your back.
Mm. I like that.
Mm-hmm.
And if you're good, a little bit later,
I'll make sure I tend to that "back," personally.
Mm. Mm.
Mm.
Oh, my God.
My God. Is -- Is this --
This old boarding house is all ours.
Mama never said a word.
This is where your mother started doing hair.
She had all these maids dyed, fried, and laid to the side.
She swore she'd never come back
after what happened with your father.
She never even told you his name?
She died with that secret, too.
Little Ow, Mama.
Angie, I know you're excited to meet your daddy,
but sit still.
Why ain't I ever met him before?
He was busy getting everything ready.
But now we're gonna live like a real family
in a castle on the water.
I wanna look real pretty.
Okay.
How do I look?
You look beautiful.
You wait right here.
You made me keep quiet.
You want to pay me off?
Get out!
Before I beat the Black off of you.
Get out of this house right now!
Daddy!
I'm here now, Mom.
You know, all this time we were eating instant grits,
we could have been dining on steak
at some waterfront property.
I did love her grits, though.
Me too.
So, um, when are we gonna spread her ashes?
Let's just get settled first, alright?
You've had a really rough year.
I got expelled from school for fighting.
I caught a case. You can say it, Mom.
Mom.
Come here.
Mom. Come here!
Mom! Get up here!
Okay!
Stop!
I want this to be a fresh start for both of us.
I want to create some generational wealth up in here,
for you, your kids -- if you want them.
I mean, I was even thinking you could join Jack and Jill.
No, Mom.
I read about that club, and those kids start hanging out
when they're like three years old,
and they don't want some new girl in the mix.
And I don't want - to be in the mix. - Um, excuse me.
Have you met yourself?
You are everything.
Anybody would love to hang out with you.
I'm just trying to give you more and better than I had.
These people can help us.
Just need you to give me a chance.
Okay?
Okay.
So, you know, how are you gonna get it?
'Cause I know you always have a hustle, or whatever you do.
As a matter of fact, I just got us invited to a party.
Oh!
Well...
let's go to the party.
It's gonna be alright.
Okay.
Well, your mother was right.
But don't tell her I said that.
All eyes are on me tonight.
Baby, you are the baddest woman at this party.
All eyes should be on you.
There's too much riding on this summer
for me to make mistakes.
The Graceties, work, the kids, and you.
I have never seen you drop a ball in your life.
You are stronger than you think.
Together, we're even stronger.
We are not in Boston anymore, y'all.
Mama Eve used to work this party?
Mm-hmm.
You know, my father could be here
and I wouldn't even know it.
It's his loss.
Always has been.
Angie!
Girl, I'm so glad you got in.
You remember the baby?
- Oh, my God. - Can you believe it?
Nikki!
Aunt Piggy.
Alright, Nikki, try to have some fun, alright?
- You, too, Piggy. - Uh-huh.
From your mouth to God's ears.
You look just the same.
I wanna say hi to the host. Oh.
Oh, you wanna wade into the deep waters.
Yeah. Well, that's Leah Franklin-Dupont, girl.
I know. What? You forgot?
I can charm a black dog white.
True.
Sorry.
Uh, can I have, like, a --
a club -- club soda or something, please?
- Thank you. - These parties are boring as hell if you're not lit.
Let's do vodka for the lady.
Coming right up, Mr. Dupont.
So, is this, like, your party, or...?
No. This is my parents' party.
My parties are way better than this.
Okay.
Um, hello?
We're supposed to be taking this Jack and Jill photo
on the beach for my feed.
- Okay. - Lo, you're being rude.
I'm Taylor.
This is Lauren.
Hi. Uh, I-I'm Nikki.
Um, I'm kind of, like, new around here,
but my mom's opening a store on Delois Street.
It's like a Black hair care kinda --
Guys, are we taking this photo or not?
I guess they don't teach manners in the sunken place.
That actually wasn't funny.
- It was a little funny. - I see you, new girl.
We need some fresh blood around here.
A few of us are getting together tomorrow night,
if you want to hang.
I'm okay. Thank you, though.
Cool. Meet us on the dock at00.
Until then, let's grab my photo.
Quincy.
Excuse me.
I just had to meet the host of this party.
I am Angela Vaughn. I'm Josephine's friend.
This is such a great party. It's such a pleasure.
- Nice to meet you. - Oh, it is lovely to meet you.
And your husband? Is he here, too?
I'm not married.
I do have a 17-year-old daughter, going on 30.
Mm. Yeah, well, we have one of those, too. Yes, we do.
She's 17 and full of...
- opinions. - Exactly.
You know, they grow up so fast.
Too fast.
I'm just happy to have her with me
while I open my pop-up shop, Eve's Crown.
Wait, Eve's Crown.
Where have I heard that name before?
I applied for the small business incubator program at Franklin.
Yes. Yes, yes. Black hair care.
You know, it's hot right now. Mm.
A Black woman's relationship with her hair starts
well before she can even walk, continues from the moment
her mother teaches her how to do her own hair.
It evolves. It's generational.
It's personal.
It's a lot more than "hot right now,"
and I think I'd be a great fit for your program.
Well, if you keep that passion, you just might make the cut.
And I did want to say how amazing it is
that you are raising money
for the single mother outreach tonight,
and I wanted to give you a donation
on behalf of my business, Eve's Crown.
Uh, the donation box is at the entrance.
You know, I still don't know why Miss Thang-Thang
snubbed her nose to your check.
It's good money.
It is good, isn't it?
Oh, pl-- Of course it's good.
I just gotta figure out how things work around here,
that's all.
Ow! Whoa.
Whoa, whoa, whoa.
Looks like someone had fun.
I didn't think I would get a chance to meet you tonight.
Can I -- Can I help you with that?
Oh, yes. Please. Thank you.
Oh. Oh!
Thank you.
Um...
I'm Angela Vaughn.
Tyrique.
Guess I'll be seeing you around the Bluffs.
I guess you will, Ms. Vaughn.
Good Lord.
Chocolate does melt in the summer, right?
Piggy --'Cause I'm trying to sop all that up.
Piggy... Ooh. Let the summer begin.
Okay, well, I am not here to make new friends.
I'm here for the win.
Head up, crown on.
I told you I was moving to the Vineyard for the summer,
and you know what that means.
Humidity.
Alright, we're using this conditioner today.
My mother always said a woman who can do her own hair
is not dependent on anybody.
Time to claim your power.
I had dreams, baby.
I had a small salon,
and I was gonna make it something big, but...
Little Mama, don't cry.
I'm done crying. It's on you now.
You are still gonna be a queen.
Take one part honey and add it to this coconut oil.
Then take the rose water and mix it all together.
This is my homemade conditioner.
You got that?
I love you.
I love you, too, Mommy.
Franklin Holdings has a deeply rooted history
here in the Bluffs and in the African American community.
We are the largest holdings company,
with shares and assets to more than 150 companies,
and you all know where we started.
Sanitation.
Sorry I'm late, Dad.
Oh, no, little girl, you are right on time.
I was just about to announce our new golden egg.
Franklin Athletics is in talks to buy the Boston Tide.
Under our ownership, we would propose to move the team
to our newly built Franklin Stadium
and revive a depressed area.
The synergy of business and community service.
That is Franklin.
I know all your dirt.
Now get your damn hands off me.
How about we all take a break?
I spent my morning getting caught up on our stadium deal,
and it turns out you're a crook and a liar.
And what is it you think you know?
While I was finishing the stadium deal,
you bribed local officials, interfered with zoning.
I've spent my entire life
trying to live up to the great Teddy Franklin.
Have you learned nothing sitting at my right hand?
Generations of this family built all of this.
Your great-grandparents came to Boston
with nothing in their pockets
and became one of the first families to make it up north.
My father built on that. I multiplied on what he built.
So, we didn't just "make it."
We rose above it.
And we maintained that legacy generation after generation
by continuing to build, educate, and refine,
and we do these things not to show that we have arrived.
We do this so that we can keep our heads up high
and the least of us never has to bend his back
in the cotton field ever again.
Seeing this family, the Franklins,
gives our people hope, and as patriarch of this family,
I take that very seriously.
So, yes, eventually, I will lift the neighborhood
that you care so much about with the revenue
brought by a stadium that Franklin built.
You have twisted the legacy of this family
to serve your own greed.
Do you know why I bought this table?
Because it was the biggest one I could find.
And I put it in this room because of the incline,
so that everyone sitting around this table
has to raise their head to look up at me,
a Black man in America,
holding the American dream in my Black hands.
So, don't you tell me that you don't like the dirt
under my fingernails.
You can keep your seat at the foot of this table.
Just never forget who sits at the head of it, little girl.
- How you doing, Jim? - I'm good. How are you?
Good. Good.
What you trying to do with that?
Only that right there.
That's luck.
Yeah, well, thanks for giving me the chains.
Listen, son, I was, uh --
was hoping we could spend a little quality time
together this summer. Alright.
Also, to attend this Kingship induction ceremony
with me tomorrow night.
Okay. Yeah.
But, I mean, what would I even do there?
Observe, listen, learn, absorb the power
that's gonna be in that room.
I tell you, I remember my, uh -- my first club meeting.
The rest of America -- they had to wait
until Obama was president to see a Black man in power.
I've had the privilege of seeing that my entire life.
Every man in our family has succeeded as a king.
That's what I want for you, son. To be a king.
Make sense?
Yeah. Good.
What did you want to talk to me about?
I'm good.
Getting in with the Franklins can help Eve's Crown.
Yeah, but nominating you for a membership so soon?
This is Leah's first Graceties meeting as chapter president.
Her mom is the GOAT, so she has a lot to prove.
Well, I just need to show her
that I'm a serious businesswoman,
not some ratchet-ass chick from Boston.
Yeah, but you are.
Got it honest, too.
And it's not just about business.
No, these women are activists in white gloves, honey.
That's what I'm about -- uplifting the culture.
That's why I took out all those loans
just to be here this summer.
I can't go back to selling product
out the trunk of my Camry, that's for sure.
- A package? - Ooh, I bet you that witch Leah sent a horse head.
You're silly.
What is it?
I just got invited to a party tonight.
Oh!
Let me see that.
Oh!
A Tyrique Chapman party.
You see, Nikki's already out making friends.
I think you need to do the same.
The kind with "benefits."
What? You know, I might be gray,
but I still got a fire in the furnace.
I just need you to nominate me.
Please?
Fine. You win. You always do.
Yes! Thank you!
- You know, it is time. - Yes.
17 years since you let somebody touch that thang since Nate.
Okay --Girl, you gotta clear them cobwebs out.
Clear them out, Mama.
My -- My cobwebs -- leave them alone.
I bet you she ain't got no cobwebs.
You know I don't.
Yo, you came! Hi.
'Sup, girl? - How are you? - It's good seeing you.
Hi.
Wait. Hold on, hold on, hold on.
Hey, yo, Q. Come here.
I'm trying to hook you up with a little
extracurricular activity this summer.
- No, no. - Hey, you came.
I can buy my own shoes.
Can I at least get you a drink?
Sure.
Taylor!
Taylor!
Taylor! Taylor!
Taylor!
What the hell just happened?!
Oh, my God! I don't know!
We were arguing, and she was drunk --
Taylor!
Help! Help!
So, you're a shoe-sending kind of brother?
Not really.
I just thought you needed a better intro to the Bluffs.
And especially if you're trying to join the Graceties.
All I can say is... don't poke the bear.
Leah can be tough.
I can handle my own.
Yeah, I got no doubt about that.
I don't summer in the Bluffs.
I grew up about two houses down from here.
The small one on the corner.
My father worked for the man
who put me through boarding school,
then the Ivy League.
And now I own the construction company.
So you're trying to be my fairy godfather?
Somebody's gotta get you ready for the ball.
Mnh-mnh.
Oh, it's my...
Nikki?
Oh, my God.
I'm just so happy - you guys are okay. - Nikki.
You okay, baby?
They got her out. Taylor's alive.
Are you okay?
Officer, is there any news on Taylor?
Miss Woods has been rushed to St. Mary's,
but our main focus now is on how the accident happened.
A Nikki Vaughn said that Lauren
was with Taylor right before the fall,
so we need to take both girls to the station for questioning.
I was nowhere near her when it happened,
and that Nikki girl, she's drunk as hell.
My daughter does not drink.
Smell her breath.
I'm Leah Franklin-Dupont, and my daughter's not going anywhere.
Well, neither is mine.
- Drunk?! - I had one drink!
What's going on?
Nikki is lit.
Cops almost arrested her for underage drinking.
You're lucky that girl's not dead.
Were you smoking weed again, too?
What? No!
We had to beg and pray to get you a diversion program
instead of jail time.
One whiff of tonight's mess,
that judge could put you all the way behind bars,
and I don't have the right skin color
or bank account to get you out.
You're grounded.
Oh, we trying to act like a mom now?
You've always been so thirsty.
Alright, now. Slow your roll, baby girl.
You're obsessed with getting in with these people,
just like you were obsessed with putting me
in some private school with people
who are nothing like me, who look nothing like me.
Well, maybe it's on you why I was drinking and smoking.
The whole point of being grounded
is that I stay in my room, at home.
Sit up straight. Fix your face.
I'm trying to show you something.
Alright.
So, when they call for noms, I'll say your name.
You're gonna get some shady looks,
and then the interview process will start.
As your outgoing chapter president,
I would like to call the meeting to order
and officially pass the torch to your next chapter president.
She's a legacy member.
Her mother, Rose Franklin,
was this chapter's most revered president.
I give you Leah Franklin-Dupont.
I'd like to start with a moment of silence
for Taylor Woods' family.
Her mother is a part of our special sisterhood
that we all cherish and love.
And as we say, "Many are called, but few are chosen."
Our sisterhood is sacred.
For 100 years, The Kingship held the line
in the African American community.
When no one appears to be watching, we are.
Inductees, step forward, please.
Out of the night that covers me,
black as the pit from pole to pole...
I thank whatever gods may be
for my unconquerable soul.
In the fell clutch of circumstance,
I have not winced nor cried aloud.
Under the bludgeoning of chance,
my head is bloody, but unbowed.
It matters not how straight the gate,
how charged with punishments the scroll.
I am the master of my fate.
I am the captain of my soul.
I nominate Angela Vaughn.
Ms. Vaughn, I was surprised to hear your nomination.
We don't know very much about you.
I'm from Boston.
My mother's name was Evelyn Vaughn,
and she was the smartest woman I've ever known.
Evelyn Vaughn.
What did your mother do for a living?
She was... a businesswoman.
She would summer here in the mid-'80s.
Now that she's gone, I am following her dream,
which has become my dream, too.
Membership in this organization would help with that,
and I would be honored to be in this sisterhood.
Thank you.
All the women that were interviewed
are under consideration.
Uh, but you'll need the vote of two-thirds of the membership,
which will happen at the Grand Illumination Ball
at the end of the summer.
Now, until then, we're gonna be watching you,
seeing who you are.
You know, seeing what you bring to the table.
But the first event of the season
will be our annual mother-daughter fashion show.
So, who can help with glam?
Oh. That is my lane. I can do --
Traci, why don't you handle glam?
Ms. Vaughn, you could assist with food and beverages.
Snacks? You want me on snacks?
Well, there's no task too small for the sisterhood, right?
Meeting adjourned.
Ohh!
Thought you were taking Nik to dinner to talk.
Yeah, I thought I'd wash that wig first, girl.
This salt air water ain't no joke. Yeah.
You haven't made a homemade batch
of your conditioner in a hot minute.
Yeah.
Guess I just wanted to be close to Mama after that meeting.
Nikki told me you lied about Eve.
I just wanted those women to see how special Eve's Crown can be.
But when I saw Nikki's face after...
Hey, Nik.
Can we talk?
About how you're getting faded in the kitchen
after yelling at me for a few shots of Cรฎroc?
I am grown. You are not.
Maybe you were right about how this place is making me feel.
But everything I'm doing -- everything is still for you.
When that last breath left my mother's body,
I promised myself that I would be a better one to you.
I'd really like for you to come
to the mother-daughter fundraiser with me
tomorrow night.
Well, I'm still grounded, so it's not like I have a choice.
Ah.
You know, your mom thinks I'm the bad influence.
I promise, I will tell everybody.
Alright.
Come here.
This looks amazing.
Not a good look for the chapter president to be late.
This is your first event, and all eyes are on you.
Mama Liv, is this how you're gonna treat me
my entire term as president?
Is this how you plan to lead the Graceties?
Because this certainly isn't the way
your mother would have done it.
This organization has worked too hard to earn our 40 acres
that were promised and never delivered.
And we will stop anything that threatens to undermine
what we're trying to build here.
Now, that Angela Vaughn woman...
is a disrupter.
And her family has a long, dark history on this island.
Now, can you take care of it?
Or do I need to call your father to handle it for you?
She looks good. Right?
Your skills are insane.
Like, you better get these hands insured, bitch.
What's going on here?
She did that. That's all.
We were supposed to have a top stylist.
Well, you got one. Me.
Apparently, your stylist fell through,
and instead of staying on snack duty,
letting this whole event fail, I stepped up.
'Cause that's what real sistahs do.
Well, this is a Graceties event, so don't embarrass me.
Or yourself.
Alright, everybody, let's get this show started.
Styled by Eve's Crown.
Looks like Wakanda came to the Bluffs.
Not Wakanda -- Eve's Crown.
You wanted them to see how special Eve's Crown could be.
They're seeing it, baby.
You are wasted.
Taylor! Taylor!
Are you okay?
Lauren, you're --
What? Hey.
Look, I know we're not really...
Don't touch me....friends or anything,
but, uh, I-I saw the two of you together.
What?
Where'd you get that?
Uh, Taylor must have put it in my bag, you know?
Maybe she wanted someone to know the truth.
So you don't have to hide. I-I can --
No, what do you -- what do you want me to do?
Huh?
Y-You want me to around and slap pronouns on my chest?
Well, we don't get - to do that here. - Shh. Be quiet.
Look, I sat by my grandmother's bed... Ugh.
...waiting for her to wake up,
and she was the only one who really knew me, so...
But lying to the police about being with her that night
is worse than lying about who you are.
So...
You better keep your mouth shut.
- Lauren. - I'm sorry.
What's going on?
Uh, M-Mom, she -- she keeps threatening --
- threatening me. - Threatening you?
What is with you and your family?
Whoa, whoa, whoa.
You got some nerve.
Leah, you know what?
I saved you tonight.
This victory is mine, not yours.
But you still haven't said thank you.
Act like you were raised right.
Raised right?
Why don't we turn that mirror around on you?
What now, Leah? Geez.
Ever since I got here, you've been on me,
judging me for everything I do.
What --Because you've been lying!
Your mother never summered here.
She was a maid.
You trying to tear me down in front of all these people?
Does it make you feel good?
Yeah, my mother was a maid, and I know who I am.
I know my worth.
I know that you're hiding the truth about your mother.
Yeah, Evelyn Vaughn -- she was a maid here,
but she was also arrested
for intent to distribute over in Edgartown.
Oh, yeah, she was peddling it out of her makeshift salon.
So you can try to twist this any way you want to
and try to make it seem like I am mistreating you.
But we all know that you've been lying
to gain access into this club.
No. It's -- I --
It's not true. I...
I assume that the request to meet
meant that your tantrum was done.
I tore someone down today
out of the belief that I was doing good,
but I don't think my ends justified my means.
And that made me think about you and all that you've done.
And I will not stand for it.
You see, you may be the patriarch now,
but I am the heir apparent.
So, I'm taking over the company.
Wait for it, Daddy. Wait for it.
You're retiring early.
And why would I agree to that?
I have a dossier filled with your dirty deeds.
I mean, I'm sure the feds would love to investigate your deals
with just one phone call from me.
I cut the legs off your precious table.
I-I fixed the incline.
Uh-huh.
You know, ever since I was little,
all I ever wanted from you was your respect.
You have my love. Respect is earned.
Well, you asked me to find a seat at your table.
Mm-hmm. And I found one.
Yours.
So, I'm gonna move to be named head of this company,
because it's not just about the money.
It's about building up Black folks.
Ah.
You think you're different,
but you're just as addicted to money and power as I am.
I mean, my blood runs through your veins.
But you win.
Tonight.
I'm just better at this than you are.
Enjoy the rest of your summer, Daddy.
But it won't be in this room.
Alright.
Here are all the documents from her case.
Thank you.
I know you had to call in a favor for this.
Perk of being a D.A. Okay?
I have to have this back to the station by morning.
- Thank you. - Alright.
Eve never touched a drug a day in her life.
Damn near disowned me when I got hooked up
with a dealer back in the '80s.
Oh, my God.
Y'all, come here.
Teddy, tell them I didn't sell drugs in the shop!
It's gonna be okay, but you have to listen to me.
Teddy Franklin is my father.
No. No, she would've told me.
But she didn't, and you two were like white on rice.
We gotta start asking why.
I mean, we just watched him shut her up.
Mama Eve hid this building from me
until right before she died,
'cause she wanted me to come here
and find out what he did to her.
That's exactly what I'm gonna do.
Thought you were gonna be at the office late for a meeting.
I was. With my father.
Turns out, he's retiring early.
- Your father's retiring? - Mm-hmm.
And I'm gonna be named chairwoman of Franklin Holdings.
I'm gonna control all of it.
Well, I guess congratulations are in order.
Mrs. Franklin-Dupont?
Ms. Vaughn is here to retrieve her wig.
I hear you wanted to pick the wig up yourself.
It costs a lot to make.
I don't have money to just throw away.
Well, I'm glad you stopped by.
I wanted to talk about what happened earlier.
I'm not in the business of tearing down Black woman.
I'm actually in the business of building up our sisters.
Hell, I want to build a whole community,
because that's what being a Gracetie means to me.
We do the same thing, just differently.
We're two sides of the same coin.
Two very different sides of the same coin.
Because of the amount of money in our bank accounts?
I'm starting to get the rules around here.
To be honest with you, from where I stand,
you're a slave to them.
I'm not a slave to anything.
But you humiliated me,
all because you were so desperate
to serve this lifestyle.
Maybe you the real "maid" up in here.
My mother left me one thing.
The one thing she had is that old boarding house
down on Delois Street.
You know it?
My family used to own it.
Come see about me.
Eve's Crown can hook up those dry ends.
Daddy, who's that girl?
No one you need to concern yourself with, Leah.
Angie!
Got to secure the crown, right, Mama?
