How was your weekend
in Rome?

Rome? Oh, no. He got
a little hotep-y,

so he's on
time-out right now.

And you gonna tell me
where you were last night?

In heaven.

Professor: Good morning,
ladies and gentlemen.

Welcome to the first week
of classes.

As we are coming off
the Martin Luther King Holiday,

it should come as no surprise
that we're starting

this semester off on the subject
of the good reverend.

Your first assignment
will focus not on King

but on the men and women
who walked with him,

people whose names aren't
as well-known to history

but without whom the movement
wouldn't have succeeded.

So, yes, we were Kings,

but we were also
Cottons, Youngs...

Abernathys.

Professor: Exactly.

Aqueelah.

J.R., how are you?

J.R.: Good. I actually
wanted to holla at you

about a joint
KEK/PKZ thing.

You can just email me.

Look, that wasn't--
it was just really--

OK, we used to date.

Yeah, I could feel
the love.

You're in my T.A. section
for this course,

so here's
some extra reading.

Wait. You're in engineering?
I thought you was a singer.

You're in engineering?
I thought you were an athlete.

You see how that
works?

OK. Heh.

When people think
about the Birmingham bus boycotts,

they think about
Rosa Parks and Dr. King,

but there was
a teenage girl named

Claudette Colvin
who refused to leave her seat

9 months before Parks.

And local activists
E.D. Nixon

and Jo Ann Robinson

led the charge to
challenge segregation

on those buses
in 1956.

So they should be
credited

for the boycott's
success as well.

I don't know if...
[Chuckles]

I would actually say
it was a success.

It eliminated
discrimination

in mass transit

and kicked off
the Civil Rights movement.

But a lot of Black
small businesses

couldn't compete once folks
would go to the bigger White-owned stores.

But that's not what
we're talking about.

Well, maybe you should be.

My family came
from Birmingham.

And two years after
the boycott,

my great-uncle's car service
business went bankrupt.

So what, you're
pro-segregation?

No. Look, I just think
there's a conversation

about whether integration

undercut the unity
and financial stability of the community.

An all-Black environment
has its rewards.

Case in point: the HBCU
we're in right now.

See, not everything
is so simplistic.

[Soft laughter]

No one said anything
about simplistic.

Professor: OK, good points
all around,

but we're out of time.

More to come.

Hey, so, uh,
that was fun.

I'm, um--

The dude who tried
to mansplain me

in front of
the entire class?

See, now, what you
call mansplaining

I just call healthy debate.

Well, I mean, I'm open
to a healthy debate,

but next time, just leave
your simplistic arrogance

and ego at home.

Nathaniel: Well, damn.
You didn't have to snatch his wig.

You could've just
asked for it.

I am done letting people
walk all over me.

Not Tootie
and not anyone else.

And this semester,
I am embracing

my inner bad bitch
on and off the court.

OKENYO: ♪ Full of knowledge, but
beyond the rights of college ♪

♪ Yeah

Good to be back, man.

Figured out how
you gonna handle

having our dad
as your new coach?

Nothing to figure out.
He's the coach.

Hey, you think
you can do that?

J., I'm putting all
the drama to the side.

I just want
to pitch, man.

Beating Tennessee Central's
not gonna be easy.

I don't need
any distractions.

Athlete: Yeah!

Ah! I didn't expect
a welcome back, man.

I appreciate it. Heh!

Marcus: I appreciate you all
welcoming me back

as assistant coach.

Now, you all ready to win?

-Yes, sir!
-All right!

OK, we got one more
team member to introduce.

I want you all to give
a warm welcome

to former Hawkins pitcher
and new Lions starter

Lando Johnson.

[Applause]

Thank you. Thank you.
Thank you.

I'm so excited to be here
at Bringston.

It's been a dream
since I was a kid.

And I promise, I'mma give
everything to this team.

OK. All right, fellas,
let's go. Out to the field.

Let's go. Let's go.

So for our first match,
we'll be hosting

Willis-Cobb University.

I'm sure you recall

they were supposed to merge
with Bringston last semester,

so there may be some
residual hard feelings.

Rise above. Let's start
with backhand drills.

Ooh. My bad.

Hey.

So I've been watching
a ton of Willis-Cobb matches

just to kind of
get a sense of their strengths and weaknesses.

You want to meet up
later tonight?

I'm happy to go over it
with you guys.

When you say
"you guys," does that also include them?

Simone: Oh, please.
Tootie and her crew made it very clear

that they're not about
this team life, so no.

They will not be getting
any extra help from me.

What the hell do you
think you're doing?

So when was you
gonna mention

that you recruited
another pitcher?

Look, I did what was
best for the team.

It was your decision
to leave, Damon.

Once he had you, Shaw
agreed to release Lando,

so I scooped him up.

I didn't know you'd come
back at the last minute.

So how is this
supposed to work?

Who's pitching this
week's opening game?

I made a promise to Lando
when I recruited him

that he'd be Bringston's
ace pitcher.

I'm not going back on that.

So he's gonna pitch
the opener,

and you will be number 2.

Number 2? What, you want
me to pitch behind Lando because what?

You suddenly decide
that you want to be a person of character?

Have you lost your mind?
I ain't nobody's number 2?

I just can't tell
if I should be, like,

excited or sick or,
I don't know, both.

I have to prove myself
every single day in class,

and I have to re-audition
at the end of the semester

just to stay a dance major.

Damn. But, again,
not worried.

You convinced her once.
You'll convince her again.

I'm just glad for now
that you have a schedule

you're happy with

'cause mine is trash.

By the time I
cleared up that whole registration mess,

there was only one
music class still open.

Look at that.

[Stifled chuckle]

Now it's you taking
musical theater.

Aw. I love it.

Oh, so you just gonna
clown me?

No. I'm truly just trying
to be supportive.

Oh, you want to be
supportive?

-Yeah.
-Huh?

-Yes, I do.
-For real?

[Knock on door]

Man: Cam!

Dad? Wh--what are you
doing here?

You won't answer
any calls or texts.

Then we get
this notification that

you're not enrolled
for the spring semester.

Your mother's at home
freaking out,

so I'm here to finish
the conversation

we started at Christmas.

Well, I have nothing
left to say.

And I cleared up that
enrollment stuff,

so I'm registered now.

OK. For how long?

What is your plan,
Cameron?

Um, um...

Hi. I just want to
introduce myself.

I'm--I'm Keisha,
Cam's girlfriend.

Nice to meet you, Keisha.

Sorry for barging in
like this,

but Cam and I really need
to talk.

-Well, I'm--
-Oh, no, no, no.

Your dad's right.

You two should talk,
privately.

Talk.

[Muffled sound of Damon
and Jessie arguing]

Mm-mm. You don't want
to go in there.

Why not?

If it's about pitching,
I should be part of the conversation.

Trust me, they're not
just talking pitching.

There's a whole bunch
of father-son crap going on as well.

I thought Coach
was your dad.

Long story. Coach
is his dad as well.

Wait. What?

Hit the showers, boys.
Go on, now. All right?

J.R.: Yes, sir, Coach.

Jessie: ...eventually...

But we don't need
you as coach.

Damon, Damon,

don't you have
a class or something to get to?

If this is how you
plan on inspiring team spirit,

you off to one hell
of a start, Jessie.

I had a feeling
you might come here.

You know me
way too well.

[Chuckles]

I just thought I'd peek in.

I mean, I love
my new job. I do.

But I miss teaching and
being around students.

Well, you got
family dinner.

You say the word,
and I'll pack that joint out with more of us.

Aw. Not unless you all
learn how to do more

than boil rice.

You know
we beat your rice.

-Mm.
-Dr. Patterson.

I've been looking for you.

Oh. Uh, well, you
found me, Mister...?

Nico Logan,

president of the Student
Government Association.

I've been trying
to set a meeting with you

to discuss SGA business.

Oh, it's been a busy time.

Traditionally,
Student Government meets

with the president
a week before classes start.

We're behind schedule.

I thought the student body
was important to you.

Um, excuse me.

My aunt said what she said.

She's busy, and she is
with a student--me.

So why don't you make
your appointment

and let us finish
our conversation?

Someone's feeling
feisty today.

No. I'm sensitive
to disrespect these days.

Things aren't getting better
with Tootie and the girls?

I'm standing my ground.

I'm not gonna let them
distract me

or drive me away
from what I love.

Remember, the way we
carry ourselves

has consequences.

Cam: So this was
the remaining total, and so

I applied for a grant
that's covering most of my tuition,

and I got a work-study job
with President Patterson.

That plus odd jobs are
covering everything else.

Does this grant cover
you for all 4 years?

No.

Cam...

look, your mom and I
have been talking.

And if football truly
is over for you,

then we think it's best
that you move back to L.A.

Bringston is where I belong.

And I even found
something that I love

as much as football.

What's that?

I want to pursue music.

[Chuckling]
You have got to be kidding!

That's not a future.

And that's exactly why
I don't return your calls.

I don't need your sarcasm
or your criticism.

Look, I got to get to work.

This conversation's
not over.

It is for me.

Cameron Shemar Watkins,
walk out on me again

and see what happens.

Look, I got classes
this afternoon

and then practice
with the ATLs after that.

How long are you
in town for?

A couple days.

How about dinner,
tomorrow night?

But, Dad, you got
to be willing

to at least
hear me out.

[Sighs]

Marcus: I'm sorry, Damon.
It's his call.

You just have to accept it.

What? But it was supposed
to be me and you,

and now we both
playing backup?

We'll both just have
to adjust, OK?

Try being more gracious.

Maybe you should
reach out to Lando

and welcome him on the team.

What?

Or just ignore him.

Coach.

Hmm, where is
Nate hiding,

and why is she so slow
to respond to my texts?

Don't ask me.

So how did it go?

Damon: Coach wants me

to welcome Lando into my spot
with open arms,

so there's that.

That sucks. I'm sorry.

What is up with these
funky new transfer students?

Like, this one fool in
my American History class,

he really tried
to play me in front of the whole class.

Lo and behold.

Lando: Mind if I join you?

Look, um, Lando, I might have
to accept you on the team,

but don't get it twisted.

We not about to be boys.

Wait. This is Lando?

Yeah.

Actually,
I was talking to her.

I thought we could finish
our debate from class.

Keisha: You know,
handsome young brothers

are always welcome, so...
[Taps table]

Actually, n-no.
The seat is taken.

Sorry.

Right.

Y'all enjoy your day.

We will.

Mm-mm, no.
You all rude as hell.

This cutthroat, athletic
energy is harshing my artistic vibe,

so I'm gonna
go meet my daddy

and then go to class.

[Exhales]
Honestly, Damon,

no shade to Coach Marcus,
but he's wrong.

You don't have to accept
being second to him.

This is your team
and your spot,

so fight for it.

OK, then. Heh!

I guess
the "bad bitch" Simone rumors are true, huh?

Hey. We got to do what
we got to do, right?

♪ Clap, clap, clap, clap...

Damon: Lando.

Listen, my bad for how
I came at you earlier.

Nah, I get it. I've been
in your position literally.

All right. Cool.

'cause I just think
that if we're gonna be working together,

we should be
completely honest.

You know? So real talk,

I think the coach only
made you starter

because there's
some personal stuff going on between us.

That's it.

I'm here to play ball,
all right,

not get caught up
in your daddy issues.

But if the decision was
based purely on talent,

I'd be starting,

and everybody
on the team knows it.

All right.

Get one thing
straight, all right?

You're not better than me.

Maybe you had more
opportunity, more shine,

but more talent? Nah.

Well, if you really
believe that,

there's one way you
could prove it.

♪ We got the goods, yeah,
I know... ♪

♪ We got the goods, yeah...

A pitch-off?

Yeah, we talked, and we both
agree it's the best way.

Fellas, the subject
is closed.

Reopening it will only
cause more confusion for the team.

Actually, I think it
would unite the team.

It'll certainly
legitimize the choice

of starting pitcher
in their eyes.

The choice isn't theirs.

It's mine.

I'm not scared, sir.

I know what I got,
and I'm happy to prove it.

Fine. Pitch-off,

tomorrow morning
before practice.

Now, get your asses
out of my office.

Thank you, Coach.

Actually, I think
this will be good--

-Don't ever do that again.
-Wait. Excuse me.

You're not the coach
anymore, Marcus.

When I make
a decision,

I don't need you
undermining me in front of my players.

I didn't sign up to be
your yes-man.

Do you know I fought to
get you back on this team?

I had parents who didn't
believe you were

stable enough to be here.

So when I make a decision,
I expect you to back me

like I backed you.

This is me backing you, man.

I know Damon, and he
would never accept

second spot to anyone unless
he felt it was earned.

You're dismissed.

And if you ever tell me
how to coach my son again,

you're fired.

Mr. Watkins,

late for class?

No, sir. I, um...

Wait. Heh.
Hold up. You ain't the president no more.

Do I have to answer
that question?

Had you shook
for a second there.

How you doing, son?

Honestly, I've had
better days.

You waiting on Keisha?

Apparently, she had to meet
with her dance teacher early,

so now I'm enjoying
scaring former students

on their way to class
instead.

Well, I should get
going, then.

It's good to see you, sir.

You know, um, I'm not Keisha,
but I've got some time.

We could talk about
why it's not one of those better days.

Uh, my dad's in town.

He and my mom want me
to move back to L.A.

I'm sorry to hear that.

We're supposed to have
dinner tomorrow night

to talk it out,
but we gonna need

some kind of buffer,
so I'm hoping Keisha can come.

What if I came, too?

Excuse me?

Who better to convince
your dad about

this university's brilliance
than its president emeritus?

I mean, if you
wouldn't mind, sir,

that would actually
be great.

Done. Keisha and I will
be there tomorrow night.

OK. Thank you. Bet.

[Zeke chuckling]

You know, Keisha was
right about you, man.

You're different.
A little more chill.

It's amazing
what letting go of a high-pressure job will do.

Yeah. Or it's the secret
girlfriend Keisha thinks you're hiding,

something about
goofy smiles when you text

and whispered
phone calls.

You'd better
get to class, son.

Oh, yeah. I better.
[Zeke chuckling]

Hey, J.R.

Good luck against
Tennessee Central this week.

Thanks. Heh.

Nice fit.

Appreciate it.
Yeah.

Yo, what the hell
is going on?

You tell me.

Oh, I'm sorry.
I thought--

Look, all these
girl--never mind.

Oh. Oh. You mean
all the "Hey, J.R.s."

Aren't you some
big baseball star now?

-I guess.
-You guess?

OK. Whatever.
You trying to tell me

that girls aren't
sliding into your DMs?

It's ho season.

Look, I am not embracing
any kind of ho season.

I am a relationship
kind of brother.

Oh, right, right.

That--that was your ex
who gave you

the Heisman
in class today, no?

I mean, I'm just glad to see
that the relationship thing's

working out for you.

-Damn!
-I'm just saying.

Whoa.

OK!

Hand on chest,
hand on waist.

Need to take some notes.

So how about we go out
Saturday night,

celebrate surviving
the first week of classes?

I'd love to, but I have
family dinner, remember?

Family dinner...with
President Amara.

That's really a thing?

It's the best thing.

I got class.
I'll call you later?

J.R.: Somebody got
a sneaky link...

♪ Hey,
somebody got-- ♪

I don't know what you're
talking about.

I'll have to hang out
with y'all more often.

You messier than my soaps.

OK, since you two want
to be nosy,

Nico is my ex.

Things rekindled
over the holiday.

OK. So why haven't you
introduced any of us to this Nico?

Because last year
in my grief,

I may have overshared,
so now Keisha despises him.

And I really don't want
to hear her mouth,

so can you two keep this
on the low?

I know nothing.

What?

Keisha will find out
eventually.

Isn't it best coming
from you?

[Liquid pouring]

[Music playing]

You showed up outside
your old class

at the start of
the day, didn't you?

No.

Maybe. Yes.
[Chuckles]

But Simone was there
to help me let go,

and then she got
in a thing with our SGA president,

so there was no time
to mourn not being a teacher anymore.

Ah, yes, Nico Logan.

I get the sense he's
not ecstatic about me.

Three bits of advice
on presidential politics:

first, people will be
looking for you to fail.

Learned that.

Second, you'll make
sacrifices,

and you still won't be able
to make everybody happy.

Learning that.

And, last, Nico Logan will
always be a pain in your ass.

[Both chuckle]

[Exhales]

Do you miss it, Zeke?

Certain aspects,

but I'm enjoying getting
back to medicine much more.

Besides...

when I was president,

I had to keep everyone
at arm's length.

Couldn't even tell the woman
I liked that

I had feelings for her.

Well, that woman
is grateful you shot your shot

during Christmas break.

And even though we are
keeping it to ourselves,

you are definitely
one good thing

that's come out
of all this.

There'll be more.

[Chuckles]

You got this...

President Patterson.
[Cell phone vibrating]

Funny. It doesn't feel
like I've got this.

"Is Bringston's new
president showing

favoritism towards her
niece and her friends?"

"I hear you can get
a hook-up

if you get in on her
family dinners."

[Sighs]
Freaking Nico.

Jerika: This analysis of
Willis-Cobb is bomb, Simone.

Thank you.

Yeah.

Simone: OK,
so Linda Miller.

OK. Whatever.

Good luck tomorrow.

We don't need your luck.

Damn. You're really
that chick.

And what is that
supposed to mean?

You got the whole
mean girl thing on lock, huh?

Boy, you don't know me.

Yeah. I'm starting to
think that's a good thing.

Anyway...

Coach Hinds: OK, Lions,
ignore them.

Huddle up.

Coach Hinds: On 3. 1, 2, 3.

Bringston...

Athletes: Lions, let's go!

Damon Sims will pitch

[Applause]
Congratulations.

Damon: Let's go, baby!
Go get it.

Come on, man.
I'm back, baby. I'm back.

Yes, sir!

Six, you're supposed
to be cheering Jade on,

not over here snacking.

First off,
get my name right.

And besides, Jade didn't
show me an ounce of support

during my game, so I'm
gonna keep that same energy.

So the real Simone Hicks
comes out.

Under that "Let's be
friends" front,

you're just
a selfish bitch, like everybody else.

Call me a bitch one more
time and see what happens.

Ah, ladies, need I remind you

who your actual opponents
are here?

Please remember
who and where you are

and conduct yourselves
accordingly.

[Clapping]

That's it for today.
Decent class.

You had very good energy
on the routine this evening.

Thank you.

But your form
is lacking.

You were sluggish
on your dégagé,

and your shoulders are
far too stiff

for the Gwara Gwara.

OK. Thank you.
Appreciate it.

Uh, let's see it.

Right now?

I want to see how you
make the adjustments.

Do you have somewhere else
more important to be, Keisha?

Yes.

No. I just--I have
this thing.

No. I'm ready.
I'm ready.

[Indistinct conversations]

Is your girlfriend gonna
be joining us soon?

Um...

Looks like she got
caught up in dance class.

She can't make it.

Ha ha. So she's into dance,

and now you're into music.

I think I'm seeing the root
of this problem.

What is that?

Cam...

do you know how many
wannabe musicians

are bagging groceries
back in Crenshaw?

You need to pursue
something more practical.

Zeke: Lucius, if I may,
I had the same concerns

when my daughter switched
from premed to dance.

But at some point,
we got to let our kids pursue their passion.

My family can't afford
half-baked dreams.

Dad!

Cam: Why don't you just
come to the baseball game tomorrow

and hear me sing
with the ATLs?

See for yourself.

I have to catch a flight
in the morning,

so you have fun with your
barbershop quartet.

But come the end of
this semester,

you're moving home
and going in state.

No.

I'm not leaving Bringston.

I'll make it work here
with or without your support.

Respectfully.

[Sighs]

Um...

[Continues, indistinct]

Coach?

Uh, I want to explain
what happened earlier.

Not now, Hicks.

There's only so much
disappointment I can handle.

Well, I apologized for
the argument, but--

It's not just that.

Those Willis-Cobb ladies
came in here with chips on their shoulders,

and rather than
band together,

you let them school us.

Coach, I did my part.

You told me to step up
my game, and that's exactly what I did.

Congrats. You won.

But it doesn't matter
if you win individually if we lose as a team.

We needed unity today.

And I've tried
to bring unity,

and it gets shoved
back in my face.

Everyone just needs
to accept the fact that this is not a team.

It's just a bunch of people
pursuing the same sport.

And, honestly, at this point,
I don't see a problem with it.

Too bad you didn't share
your Willis-Cobb analysis

with all your teammates.

And the fact that
you don't think that's a problem

is the problem.

J.R.: Hey, Aqueelah,
can I sit here?

I just want to say
I'm sorry

for the way things
ended between us,

for thinking that
you cheated,

not knowing that Kevin
had taken advantage of you.

I hurt you,

and I let a really
good thing slip away.

I'm sorry.

Thank you.

But, real talk,
I can't be mad at you

for not knowing about
something I wasn't willing to share

until just
a couple months ago.

Hey, you know, if Kevin
wouldn't have got expelled,

I'd have kicked his
ass for you, right?

Then it's a good
thing he did.

Can't have superstar
Lions outfielder Jessie Raymond Jr.

risking damage to his hand.

Don't believe
the hype, all right?

OK. All right. Believe it.

-OK. OK. Ha ha.
-Believe it a little bit.

So, um...

What, you got to go?

Yeah. Yeah.
[Chuckles]

Um, you want to
come to my game later?

That was closure, J.R.,

not a new beginning.

I'll see you around.

Tootie: No, I know
it's not an excuse.

But, look, no. I
almost had the match.

I went through everything.
I went through everything.

They had something
up on us,

and you know it wasn't
my fault. Y--yes.

Yes, ma'am.

Damn. What'd you do
to make her cry?

Tootie: Yes, ma'am...

Did you pull
her hair,

body-check her with
a tennis ball? Heh!

Damon, shut up.
It's not funny.

Have I gotten that bad?

[Chuckles]

You tell me. How you
sleeping at night?

Fine. I get it. I've
become the devil, but--

Whoa, whoa. Whoa.
I didn't say that.

Well, you didn't have to.

Lando and Coach Hinds
already said it for you.

Thea and Tootie have been
giving my teammates crap

since day one.

Now, all of a sudden, I'm
the team disappointment?

Well, maybe
your coach has higher expectations for you.

Simone, you're a natural
leader, all right?

You're the one who
brings people together.

Just look
at family dinner.

Well, now my aunt's
getting judged for it.

The point is the bar
is higher for you

because you're
a better person.

Trust me.
I hate saying this,

but Lando's right.

You're not the mean girl.

There's a point in between
doormat and bitch,

where you still get
to be Simone.

Just find it.

All right. I got to go.
Game time.

You coming to
the game, right?

Yeah. I just got to take
care of something first.

All right.
You better be there.

I will.
[Damon chuckles]

Keisha: Thank you for
being there for Cam.

I can't believe that
I couldn't make it.

How's he doing?

Hurt but determined.

Mm-hmm.

Honey, I know it
took me a second

to get on board
the dance train,

but I hope you know
how proud of you I am.

I do. And you're
the reason why I have hope

that Cam's dad will come
around at some point,

however long that takes.

Anything is possible.

[Chuckles]

Keisha: Hey, stranger.
Where you been?

Oh, you know. Crazy
first week, pre-law classes.

Hey, Dr. Allen.

Zeke: Hey.
Keisha: OK. Let's go.

Cam sings in 20 minutes.

Oh.

So you can tell me
where you've been all week on the way.

How you doing, son?
You got this?

I was gonna ask you
the same thing, Coach.

We got this.

Thanks for
everything, man.

All right.

♪ Lift every voice

♪ And sing

♪ Until earth and heaven ring

ATLs:

Cam: ♪ Of Liberty

[Cheering and applause]

Play ball!

Damon, Make sure you
throw breaking balls.

I know fastballs are
your thing,

but the scouting report
on this first batter says--

Look, I know what
it says, all right?

Look, I don't need you
to coach me, all right?

I need you...

to stay out my way.

Damon: Let's go, baby.
Yes, sir.

Ah, man.

J.R.: There we go.

I'm proud of you, boy.

Welcome back, baby.

Hey, Damon, let me holla
at you for a minute.

What's up?

I just wanted to say
congratulations on the win today.

Thanks, bro.
Appreciate it.

Hey, I told you
I wanted to come to Bringston, right?

Yeah. Um, something
about family legacy.

My dad, his dad,
a couple of uncles,

my older brother,
all Lions.

I want to add
to their legacy.

But why are you
telling me this?

'Cause I know legacy's
important to you, too.

But all this family issues
you got going on with Coach

is getting in the way
of that.

Whoa, whoa. Whoa.
Coach Raymond is not my family.

I watched you two.

I see how you get
under each other's skin.

Only family can do that.

So, yeah, you had
a good game today,

but eventually,
all this family mess

is gonna bleed over.

It's gonna bring
this team down.

Now, you supposed
to be a leader around here, right?

I know I wouldn't want
it to be my legacy.

[Music playing]

Hey.

Hey.

I'm really proud of you

for fighting for
your new dream

and for killing it
at the game today.

Thanks. It's a shame my dad
doesn't feel the same.

You know, I can't
believe he didn't come hear me sing today.

Actually, he did.

My dad saw him for
a second.

He left right after
you got done singing.

For real?

Yes. Cam, that's progress.

[Knock on door]

Hey.

Hey.

Thank you for coming.

Uh, thank you
for the invite,

though I'm still not sure
this ain't no setup.

[Both chuckle]

Simone: Being new,
it can get lonely.

And I know that
all too well.

And I also didn't give you
the warmest of welcomes,

so consider this
a do-over.

Appreciate that.

And where it may not have
been the warmest of welcomes,

it was a fun one.

Well, I do love
a good debate,

but you were right.

The girl you met this
week, it wasn't quite me,

so hi.

Simone Hicks.

Lando Johnson.

Amara: Lando, come on in.
You are on dumplings duty.

Yes, ma'am. OK.
[Chuckles]

Simone, can I talk
to you real quick?

Uh, yeah.

What's up?

What the hell
are you doing?

I'm finding my middle ground
and I'm making amends.

I was rude as hell
to Lando,

and, honestly, he
didn't deserve that.

[Sighs]

You know, it's funny 'cause

Lando reminded me
tonight that

I'm supposed to be
a leader, too.

I think it's time I, uh,

I make some amends
of my own,

at least my share of it.

Well, there's no time
like the present.

[Chuckles]
Not with Lando.

I mean with my family.

♪ ...Me again

♪ Remember

♪ Remember

♪ Remember my name...

♪ Ooh ooh
ooh ooh ooh... ♪

Marcus!

Hey, what's up, man?

It's been a long day. Um,
something I can do for you?

Yeah. Uh...

I need to know my son.

Could you...

[Exhales]

could you tell me
about Damon, please?

[Music playing]

[Laughter]

Keisha: You're on fire...
[Laughter]

[Indistinct conversations]

Keisha: Don't. Look at how
he's eating right now.

Simone: Ew. J.R.!

Sorry. Look, I hate
to eat and run, but I got a date.

Cam: Uh-oh. That mean
somebody embracing ho-ing season?

That mean Gabby got
a big mouth.

And maybe...yes to
a little ho-ing season.

[All speaking at once]

[Laughter]

Keisha: OK, OK.

Actually, before
you leave, J.R.,

I have
an announcement to make.

Lando: Oh, uh,
y'all want me to leave?

[Chuckles]
No. That's OK.

I love these dinners
with you guys.

You know I do.
They're special.

Keisha: Hear! Hear!

And screw whoever
that nosy narc was

talking smack about us
on Yard Yack.

It had to be
Nico Logan, right, Auntie?

I mean,
think about it.

He overheard us
talking about family dinner,

and then he got pissed
when I told him to wait his turn.

Why does that not
surprise me?

Nate, I'm so happy
you dumped his toxic ass.

Nathaniel: You don't
know that it was him.

Maybe you shouldn't
spread rumors without receipts.

Amara: OK, it doesn't matter.
The point--

I'm sorry, Dr. P. Nate,
why are you defending him?

He broke your heart.

Damon: Yo, who is this Nico
guy? What's going on now?

Nico was m--

[Sighs]

Nico is my boyfriend.

We're back together.

Wait. And you...

you kept that from me?

Nate, he's a narcissist.

He made you cry for weeks.
What are you doing...

Cam: Keisha, chill.
Keisha: Don't talk to me.

Cam: What?
Simone: Keisha.

You don't got to date him.

You gonna answer
my question?

Amara: OK, enough. Enough!

Enough.

Whether it was Nico or not,

the person was right
about one thing:

these dinners give you
unfair access to me

as Bringston's president.

Wait, wait. What are you
saying, Dr. P.?

Tonight was
our last family dinner.

Greg, move your head.
