- Previously on "Bigger"... - Ken moved back to Atlanta

and wants to "talk."

- After he played you in college,

he wants to slide back in 15 years later and talk?

- Yo, you need some money? - I'm fine.

The job hunt is going well.

- They cut the cameras. You can drop the act.

- All I care about is getting' you back.

- Deon, wait. I need to ask you something.

For your blessing to marry Connie.

- Will you throw Julius a bachelor party?

- I can't do this. There's someone else.

- Thanks for ruining my night.

[grunting]

- This is a light intervention. - Intervention? I am fine.

- To avoid wrist strain,

make sure the heel of your hand

is directly under your shoulder.

Take a deep breath.

Good.

Now, pulling through the thighbones,

pull back into downward dog.

Good. Good.

Slightly arch the back and lower down into cobra position.

And hold.

Remember to breathe.

Relax.

- Come on. I can do this again.

Focus. Focus. I can do it.

Easy, breezy.

Breezy? Is it cold in here?

It feels like the back room of my store--icy.

Shit! The store.

I've gotta meet Skye there

to finish her marketing presentation.

Fuck! Life is too much!

I can't wait to go home and lay on my couch.

Couch.

[thermometer beeps] Thank you.

Well, you look amazing. - I know.

- [laughs] I bet you do.

- Here you go. - Thanks for comin'.

Yes.

We've got a lot to talk about. So where do I start?

- You can start with why

you wanted to meet for drinks so bad.

You said a lot at the gas station.

- Yes, that's fair.

So I mean, long story short, after football,

I became a sports agent.

An opportunity arose back here in Atlanta, so...I'm back.

- Good for you. Yeah. Nice.

Um, you know, I'm not doin' so bad myself.

I've been running a successful real estate business

for years now.

Sell to athletes, musicians, entertainers.

Life is good. - Mm-hmm.

- Actually, I just closed on a new home for myself.

- Off Peachtree. Yeah. I saw. You posted it online.

You did a really good job on the exterior, the landscaping.

You're quite impressive, Ms. Yates.

- So you've been keeping up with me?

- [laughs]

We haven't talked since college.

But I checked up on you. You know, social media.

- Mm.

So you have been low-key stalking me.

- Low key.

- So I finished with the best practices,

just to keep it fresh in their minds.

So that's it.

Let me know if something else doesn't look right.

- This looks great.

- Yo, boss lady, I'm about to order lunch.

Uh, what you want?

I'd advise against that spot

that we ordered from the other day.

It had you with the mud butt.

- It did not..."have me"...

- Oh, my bad.

I thought y'all two went way back.

Uh, how about we go with something safe?

Um, CPK? - Mm.

- You want something? - No.

No, I'm good, thank you.

- [chuckles]

I apologize for that! - Uh, she's interesting.

But she seems loyal, which is a big help

when you're running a business, big or small.

[laughs]

Hey, next time we get together,

you should let me treat you to lunch.

- Oh, that sounds great. But I'm just so busy with Lib,

I don't really have any time to peel away soon.

- Oh, it's just that I miss your energy.

The whole company does.

Hey, I have an idea.

I'm going to send you the details to a trip to Spain

that all the work crew's going to over the holidays.

You should join.

- Wow. I really should treat myself.

- All right, girl. I'll talk to you soon.

- Okay, bye. - Bye.

- [laughs]

- Oh, man.

You know, I always loved your smile.

- [laughs] Mm-hmm. That's not all you loved.

- [laughs] You're right about that.

- So what do you want, Ken?

- I want the one that got away.

- What?

- You.

I'm done with the games. Playtime is over, Veronica.

I turn 40 in a couple years,

and I'd love to explore something with you.

- You're that cocky.

You think you can just make a decision like this

and I'll just hop onboard?

- It's not cocky.

I'm just hopeful.

And I'm willing to take the time you need

to prove it to you.

- Here you go. - Thank you.

- You're welcome.

both: I've got it.

- I know you got it. But I got it.

[phone pings] - Oh, here we go.

- Yo, what you doing?

- I was driving. - Driving where?

- Around?

- Why were you just driving around?

- I don't know. I'm not you.

I'm still fairly new at unemployment.

My mom still thinks I'm working.

And I got tired of lying about fake video conferences.

So I told her I had an in-person audit.

- I remember the first time

I went through that shit with my moms.

You know what you do? Find a Starbucks to post up at.

It's the equivalent of renting an office for the day

at the price of just one coffee.

- I'm gonna do that.

- And make sure they give you the passcode to the bathroom

and the Wi-Fi password with that coffee.

- I got some research to do anyway.

I might have to sell my condo.

- Man, you wanna borrow some money?

- No! - Damn, just trying to help.

- Yeah, I'll figure that out on my own.

But I am grateful

for all your help with tonight's bachelor party.

- With your daddy? - Nigga!

- [laughs] Man, I'm just fucking with you!

Ooh, man!

It's about to be crazy. Please be on time.

I got all the nastiest--I mean, exotic dancers in Atlanta.

Ah, the things that these girls do,

they wouldn't allow them to do in a Mexican strip club.

They would prefer a horse be there instead of the girls

for what they're doing.

It can't be legal. [laughs]

Which reminds me, can you pick up, uh, some Cuban cigars?

I'd go myself, but I gotta make a stop

at Big 5 Sporting Goods for some supplies.

- Sporting goods?

- Yeah, I don't know. I mean, it's been a while.

Ken actually seems different.

- Is that him? - It is.

- Do you really think that men can change like that?

I can't tell with Aaron.

These boys, they go to sex rehab,

and you're supposed to just forget that

they was a whole log of poo.

- Change is possible.

I'm different than I was in college.

You know, we all are. Why can't Ken be?

- We're not that different. We're just older.

And we can only change so much. And, I don't know.

That whole idea of giving someone a second chance,

it might just leave you open to get hurt a second time.

- Hold up. Wait a minute.

Is this Ms. Positive talking? What got into you?

- Deon. Deon got into her.

- Okay, well he is still the same as he was in college.

He still doesn't know what he wants.

- First of all, isn't that the pot calling the kettle black?

Second of all, you was the one that ditched Deon

when he came back to you the second time around.

- Oop! True! - Not true.

- Yes, it is. I told you.

Just explain to Deon the whole Greg picking you up thing.

Y'all could have been enjoying happily ever after by now.

- Look, Deon had sex with someone else

right after the jail thing, okay?

- What?

- I went to Deon's place the night that you told me to.

And I walked into his apartment.

And I saw him having sex with some girl.

- Why didn't you share this bit of information?

- Because I was embarrassed. And I felt like a fool.

But you know what?

I'm actually really glad it happened

because now I know that we are not meant to be.

- Okay, so you didn't even talk

to him about this chick and what--

- No. No, no, no, no. We're not talking to no one.

And no one is gonna say anything to him.

You promise?

- All right.

Gee whiz.

Girl, you know you taking this too far, okay?

You saw what you saw,

but there's really no evidence

that what you saw means you're not meant to be.

- Well, what other evidence do I need?

You know, nobody really knows who's the one for them.

Maybe if we had a crystal ball, but in lieu of that,

I have to go off of what I've seen.

- What?

- Maybe we do have a crystal ball.

Whoo!

- Hell, no. Mm-mm.

- Fun. Likely bullshit, but fun.

- You know, actually, I went to psychic right after college.

And he was too right about a lot of shit.

You know? But then he started sabotaging my readings.

Because we screwed once. You know, it was a whole thing.
