I made a mistake.

We should drop London.

Valeria: Drop London?

For who?

Why the hell would I wanna do your jank‐ass video

after y'all did me dirty‐rotten?

Oh?

Oh?

You left me for dead.

I got dropped by my label.

I owe them $750,000.

And I'm homeless.

And I'm not hyperbole speaking

like when I say I feel homeless

'cause I got booked at a Hyatt.

I'm literally homeless!

[ Sighs ]

I have nothing.

Forgive me. Forgive us.

There would be no Queens without what you did for us.

[ Scoffs ] You were right.

But you're a part of this messed‐up family.

So, will you please be in the video?

Eric: You okay?

This is great, but I'm still real homeless.

Don't worry about it.

And broke.

I fixed it with the label.

I paid off the debt. We cool.

How'd you find that cheddah?

[ Laughs ]

I found it.

It's the least that I can do.

And you can crash with me

until we figure something out.

I told you I have your back.

Ah! We're roomies!

Tina: This is nice.

It is. Especially since I'm not the Internet's

most hated person anymore.

Thanks to you. [ Sighs ]

I just spoke the truth.

[ Chuckles ]

You know, I was thinking, uh,

it wouldn't be impossible for me

to find someone to cover for me for a few months.

Uh, what do you mean?

At work. So I could join you out here.

[ Sighs ]

Did I misunderstand something about the interview?

And you invited me to this party.

Tina, I'm sorry you got the wrong impression,

but I never said ‐‐ Got the wrong impression?

I mean, you did me a favor.

I‐I'm grateful, and given what you did,

it would have been "optically" dangerous

not to invite you here.

But let's just have fun tonight, okay?

I'm not sure I have time or space in my life to ‐‐

I put myself on the line for you.

And I'm appreciative.

But that was your choice.

Wow.

You used me.

[ Scoffs ] God gave us free will.

You're disgusting.

Tina. [ Chuckles lightly ]

Valeria: [ Sighs ] This is one of those moments.

Let's enjoy it.

The video is so dope, y'all.

Let's see what everyone thinks

after they watch the documentary.

[ Chuckles lightly ] People want something real.

The Queens are so far from perfect,

but you're real women.

People gonna eat this up.

I mean, we don't do it for them, anyway.

We do it for us, okay?

Whoo!

Okay!

[ Laughter ]

You've just got a little sauce.

Just don't smudge.

I spent three hours in hair and makeup.

Done.

Beautiful.

Mm. [ Chuckles ]

They've got a chocolate fountain?!

Oh!

I love that you love carbs.

[ Chuckles ]

And...

I love you.

[ Chuckles ]

I love you, too.

[ Chuckles ]

I'm gonna go get some chocolate.

[ Chuckles ]

Valeria, got a minute?

I see that you're trying to make us look like clowns.

It's not gonna work.

That's what I need to talk to you about.

I want to show you some footage that we got.

Now, if I was a better producer, I'd have put this in the doc,

but I'm actually not an asshole.

And I think that you might want to deal with this privately.

‐[ Chuckles ] ‐Hey.

Hey.

So, now that we're not working together...

you can dance with me.

Do you dance better than you play guitar?

[ Chuckles ] No. Probably not.

But I'm passionately bad at both.

[ Chuckles ]

Tonight is about me and my girls.

Ah, well, Bree can dance, too.

Dance with me?

Come on. Yes!
