You'd go to that club and say, "One drink is fine."

And then you'd have another, and then a line -- just one.

Next thing you know, it's three days later,

and you don't know anyone you're passed out next to.

I am not you. Dismiss me if you want.

Why should I take advice from someone

scared of their own shadow?

Wow. You know, go ahead.

School me, Lauren -- please.

You were scared to come out.

Like, who cares, yo? It's 2021.

Who isn't a little gay?

You make this massive spectacle about the whole thing --

which is straight out of the Stone Age, B-T-dub.

You scared of living your life.

You running from your home, your church, your girlfriend.

[ Scoffs ] Chill. You got way more problems than me.

You should go.

'Cause, clearly, there's nothing we can do for you.

On gang.

You're right, I'm terrified.

I'm the one who's scared.

What if I'm one of those people who's never comfortable

with where they are or what they have?

They wanted me to talk about myself in rehab, Jill --

to take all this off and talk about Lauren.

I haven't known who she was since I was 15.

I'm gonna make you a promise.

If you go back to rehab...

No. ...and if you promise

to just figure out who you are,

I'll do the same out here.

I don't want to be afraid,

and I can't live your life for you --

just like you can't live mine for me.

But we can both try.

And it's not gonna be easy,

but I know it is impossible if we keep running.

So, it's up to you, girl.

What do you want?

Yo, Muffin put us on. The BET show was because of her.

Look, I respect that, but you can't tell her nothing,

just like you couldn't tell me nothing when I was that age.

[ Laughs ]

[ Sighs ] We need to talk about San Diego.

I'm going back to rehab.

[ Chuckles ]

Do me a favor, though -- Hold my crown till I get back.

[ Indistinct chatter ]We won.

You have got a beautiful family.

You wait here 10 seconds.

You ever watch "Naked and Afraid"?

They drop you off in the jungle with nothing,

and you basically have to survive.

This one episode, this chick was freaking out off jump,

but her partner was a G,

so he was determined to get her through.

They're cold and starving, and they gotta eat,

so homeboy finds a newt -- a little, tiny lizard thing.

They don't have fire, so they can't cook it.

Homegirl was having none of it, but he wanted to show her

that it was all good, so he bit the head off the thing.

A newt. Alive.

I rewound that a hundred times

because, you see, at that precise moment,

homeboy's life was irrevocably altered.

He lost it.

They airlifted him out the next morning.

What?

I feel like I bit the head off a live newt.

Right.

What?

The marriage I knew for 16 years is not the marriage I'm in.

Hmm.

You know men are stupid.

[ Laughs ]

I mean, we'll bite the head off a newt

just to prove that we're men.

One thing will never change.

Them kids? Amazing.

You did that.

I remember watching you get your diploma.

Girl, you were so proud.

I mean, how many women from Queens move on

and get a master's from Columbia?

You have got to be the first Ivy League graduate

with multiple number-one records under your belt.

Look, I don't know which way you're leaning --

stay with Jeff, leave --

but I know you good either way.

You're a queen.

I missed you, my dude.

I honestly don't know what scares me more --

the past or the future.

the first time I heard how your mind works --

I only wanted one thing, to be with you.

It was your choice to keep us a secret.

If I came up on your label and people knew we were messing around,

Missing my recitals, birthdays.
