I just think you
should calm down

on the groupies
at the cotillion.

No! Ow.

I promise you I will
never do this again.

Excuse me, first lady.

Both: Yes? I meant
first lady skanks.

When kerissa and I were
doing real church,

we met some amazing people.

And we need them here.

Creating new programs
at a time like this?

Maybe it'd be better to wait on
your real church integration.

Tamela mann asked me to
sing backup for her.

I do not want to see you
throw away your dignity.

Mama!

The one good thing
about your mother

leaving us the way she did...

She knew about you
too, all of them.

I could have ended my marriage.

You are disgusting.

Tell Mae I'm sorry.

Yes, just poetry in motion.

All right, baby. All right.
All right.

You're gonna be late for school.

Fine. I guess I'll go to school.

Come on, come on, come on.

Uh, practice again tonight?
Only two weeks until cotillion.

Anytime you want to dance,
you just tell me, huh?

I'm there.

You two should join a dance

He's good.

Oh, don't you know I know it.

No, dear. I just... Go, go, go.

Maricel called early
this morning and, uh,

she's in the
hospital with Keiko.

Well, what happened? Meningitis.

What? Is he gonna be okay?

Thankfully, yes.

But she's not gonna
be here today

and possibly not for the week.

But isn't she supposed to
go on tour with charity

starting Friday?

Well, that was Satan's plan,

but seems like the
lord has intervened.

Can't we just keep Nathan with us?
Help out for two weeks?

This is for the best.

She's staying home
now and don't help.

I think she should go.
Excuse me?

I think gigi's right.
We should all chip in.

Oh, you gonna pitch
in with a baby?

Or pay someone else to.

And who will lead
praise and worship?

Charity said Carlton can do it.

Carlton? Yeah.

I don't have a
problem with that.

Is that a problem for you?

You see, we're just trying

to give your daughter
the same access

to her own happiness

that you've taken so freely
for yourself over the years.

Hmm.

Well, I tell you what.

Charity and I will go
and visit them both

in the hospital this morning

and get a better sense
of the situation.

Brilliant idea. Yes,
because what is the sense

in trying to make decisions
when we don't know

bishop?

Yes, karine.

Ms. Cross is here to see you.

Oh, marvelous. Send her in.

I was praying for
some distraction.

Well, here I am. Karine,
you can go now.

Thank you.

Open or... Closed will be fine.

Thank you.

In all seriousness, I hope I'm
not interrupting anything.

I see you have your
big Bible open.

I was just preparing
some thoughts

for my message on Sunday.

What are you preaching on?

Well, the text is the
story of the flood,

but I'm still waiting to see
what I'm gonna be preaching.

The lord hasn't revealed
that to me yet.

Well, I'm sure you'll find
something to shake the walls.

You always do.

May I? Oh, make
yourself at home.

Thank you.

So, to what do, I
owe this surprise?

Well, I wanted to stop
and drop this by.

Well, what's this for?

You put good things out, good
things come back, right?

Well, at least we
hope they do, right?

Is there some sort of problem?

You know me, don't you?

Everyone else in my life
thinks of me as the, you know,

every hair in place, but you
see through all of that.

It's nice actually having
someone who sees the real me.

I'm sure you have that with Mae.

What's this big
check really about?

Nothing. Hopefully.

Um...

I went and had my five-year
cancer screening the other day.

And this morning they
asked me to come in.

That's not necessarily
a bad thing.

No, but usually when it's good

they give you the
results over the phone.

So, we'll see.

When's this big appointment?
10:00.

I was actually headed that way.

Might I accompany you?

You sure you're not too busy?

No.

I'll be back in a
couple of hours.

So what brings you by, skip?

Just happen to be in the hood?

No.

No one knows this yet, but
the mayor is stepping down

at the end of this term,

and I'm gonna be running.

Mayor Leonard. Could be.

Anyway, basie was gonna
be my spiritual advisor.

You know, support me publicly,
sit by my right hand,

make sure the community knows
I'm god's man in Memphis.

Okay.

He didn't mention this
to you before he...

Oh, no.

Anyway, I just dropped
by to find out

if I can count on triumph.
Triumph?

The handsome, fresh
face of triumph.

Could be mutually beneficial.

Say what you want about
church and state,

but there's a lot of overlap.

What kind of overlap we talking?

Well, like there's all kinds

of community development
block grants.

Programs like this
homeless thing of yours.

People love to hate on
the government nowadays.

But there's a lot of cash
waiting to be claimed.

Well, tell you what.
I'll pray on it.

Wouldn't have it any other way.

And in the meantime,
you can send over

any stuff you have for
me to take a look at.

You know position
papers, policies,

just to be sure we're
on the same page.

Thank you for the time.
Thank you.

You won't let me take maricel

was gonna be okay.

That was before her husband was
parked outside death's door.

They said he's gonna
be fine, mama.

He's going home
in a couple days.

He's through the
worst of it, mama.

That's what the doctor said.

The doctor said that it would
take two weeks for him

to fully recover.

But you know that
is not the plan.

The answer is no.

Thank you for coming
with me today.

Of course.

Actually gave me some ideas
about my message on Sunday.

Oh, well, feel free to share.

I'd rather think about
almost anything else.

Well, I was thinking about
the animals on Noah's ark.

How all the animals entered
the ark two by two.

How god made us to

I did. I do. I mean, yes.

Well, what's up?

Maricel's husband is illegal.

I think you mean undocumented.

I'm just trying to help, grace.

All right. Go ahead. Sorry.

Well, the reason that
he just waited so long

and let himself get so sick

before he went to a
hospital was he was afraid.

Scared that he'd be, you know,
sniffed out or deported.

Can you imagine? No, I can't.

I don't want to, and
that's why I'm asking you

if we can do something
to help him get...

Documented. Yes.

Is there any way we can
get this on a fast track?

Because if I had
to give up maricel

on top of everything else,

I just don't know.

Yes.

once he became a chef

they could no longer

so he made up his own
social security number.

I know. I had this
man in my home,

and you looked down
on me the whole time,

the both of you,

like I was some kind of...

Oblivious insects in a jar.

I was terrified to tell you

because I didn't
want you to hate me.

But I don't know if I
love you right now.

Or if I ever will again.

Do you think you could really
afford to give this all up?

I don't know what this is.

This.

This struggle. This family.

This fight.

I didn't choose you
because you were perfect.

No. All I ever wanted was this.

Us. You.

That's a battle I would fight.

To be the best I could be
would be fought with you.

And if you question that love
then you question life itself,

so please don't do it.

James, please.

Hey, you got a minute?

Oh. Of course.

Come on in.

Have a seat. Thank you.

So, how you been?
Feeling any better?

I am. Thank you for asking.

I just wanted to come by and
tell you that I have cleaned out

all of my things
out of the office

so it's free and clear and
Karissa can have it now.

Oh, you know that
wasn't necessary.

Of course, it was.

Come on. We both know
that she needs it.

That's thoughtful. Thank you.
I'll let her know.

And I just want you
to know that I'm here

to do whatever I can do
to make your job easier.

That's why I stayed on.

That's, um... that's great.

I believe in you, Jacob.

Really? Thank you.
Yeah, of course.

Thank you. You know if we...

If we both keep
believing in Jesus,

we'll all make it
to heaven together.

Amen. Amen.

Well, um, I should let
you get back to it.

I know a pastor's day is full.

Thank you.

Thanks for coming by.
