Ooh! Oh!

Oh, Levi, check it out!

Sienna's hanging out with the two sisters that just moved in.

Already checkin' it.

Wow, that was... (chuckles) super creepy.

I'll handle this, okay?

(clears throat loudly)

Hey, ladies.

Nothing.

(dog whines)

At least someone's paying attention to us.

Hi, guys.

Oh, hey!

We, uh, we didn't see you there.

Aw, look how much Mr. Manchego likes you.

That's because this is irresistible.

(chuckles) The name is Booker.

Really?

I'm Jamie, this is my sister, Amber.

Really.

Well, Mr. Manchego and I have to go pack.

My family's going away for the weekend.

He's going to a doggy hotel!

Okay, well, we'll see you when you get back.

All of you.

-See you soon, Booker! -Bye!

Come on!

Whoa!

When did you get game?

That wasn't game.

That was the power of the puppy.

They wouldn't even look our way

until Mr. Manchego was here.

Too bad we don't have a puppy.

Who says we can't have a puppy?

You can't have a puppy.

Oh, come on. Please, Mom?

A puppy is a lot of responsibility,

and you two have the attention span of a pea.

Not even a whole pea. A split pea. (laughs)

-Mom? I did it! I did it! -Huh?

You did it! You did it!

What'd you do?

I got selected to attend Councilwoman Sylvia Johnson's

Young Leaders of Tomorrow retreat.

(squeals) You know, if I can impress her,

I might get to serve on her Neighborhood Youth Council.

Oh, you are definitely gonna impress her!

Well, no, I didn't get in last year.

But I got in this year.

Like you always say, Mom, "Never give up."

I said that?

(sucks teeth) I'm a good mama.

And thank you again for agreeing to come with me this weekend.

I said that, too?

Yeah. Yeah, you did. Did you forget?

I-- I must have.

You know, I've been so preoccupied

with trying to finish this design.

But you know what?

-I made you a promise... -Mm-hmm.

and I'm gonna keep it.

I need to pay more attention to my little future leader.

So this weekend, it's all about you and me!

-Girls' trip! -Whoo! Thank you, Mom.

I'm so excited!

Oh, we're doing this again? Okay, all right!

This is exciting!

We should celebrate by getting a puppy.

Oh, no! No!

The answer's still no,

but it's so much more fun saying it like this. Ready?

No puppy for you! Ha-ha!

No puppy for you!

-¶ Hey ¶ -¶ Yo ¶

¶ Let me tell you somethin' ¶

¶ Had my vision all worked out ¶

¶ But then life had other plans ¶

¶ Tell 'em, Rae ¶

¶ It's crazy when things turn upside down ¶

¶ But ya gotta get up and take that chance ¶

-¶ Maybe I'm just finding my way ¶ -¶ Learning how to fly ¶

-¶ Yeah, we're gonna be okay ¶ -¶ Ya know I got you, right? ¶

¶ It might be wild, but ya know that we make it work ¶

¶ We're just kids caught up in a crazy world ¶

-¶ Come on! ¶ -¶ It's Raven's Home ¶

-¶ We get loud! ¶ -¶ It's Raven's Home ¶

¶ It's our crowd! ¶

¶ Might be tough, but together we make it look good ¶

¶ Down for each other like family should ¶

¶ It's Raven's Home ¶

¶ When it's tough ¶

¶ It's Raven's Home ¶

¶ We got love ¶

¶ 'Cause no matter the weather, ya know we gon' shine ¶

¶ There for each other, ya know it's our time ¶

(Raven laughs)

Yep! That's us.

(laughter)

Now, are you sure you're gonna be okay

taking care of the boys overnight?

They can be a bit, uh... (sniffs)

challenging.

Don't worry. I'll watch them like a hawk.

Take note of everything they do,

like now, 8:48.

Booker's got his feet on the table.

Boy, get your feet off the table!

You heard your mama!

Yes! I love you!

I love you!

You guys are in good hands.

Oh! Speaking of hands.

Make sure these hands don't ruin my new design.

Oh, of course!

You new design is...

¶ Everything ¶

The fashion world needs to see this.

And when they do,

Ravenous is gonna blast off to the next...

¶ Level ¶ (imitates explosion)

You really think so?

I don't know. I'm still just torn about these buttons.

-(Sebastian clears throat) -I-- I--

I told you to stop talking about the Ravenous line,

because this weekend, Sebastian,

is all about my baby, Nia. Come here, sweetie.

We are gonna have so much fun, Mom.

Raven: Yeah, yeah.

-Mom? -All about you, Nia. All about you.

Come on, sweetie, all right.

Do not break anything, boys.

Especially him. He's shiny and new and I wanna keep him that way.

I'll be back.

Ooh! I sound so in charge.

Hey, Levi. What do you think of this babe magnet, huh?

According to his adoption profile,

likes wet food,

dry bones,

and belly scratches.

Booker, what are you doing?

Your mom said no dogs.

My mom also says,

"Don't keep cookies in your pocket."

And yet...

Look, Levi, my mom said we couldn't own a dog.

She didn't say we couldn't borrow one

to get Jamie and Amber to hang out with us.

But who are we gonna borrow a dog from?

Thanks for watching Mr. Manchego this weekend.

He can be very...

challenging.

Oh! Well, uh,

no challenge is too big.

We'll take real good care of him.

Here are some treats for Mr. Manchego.

Make sure you give him two a day.

Okay. Remember to tell Amber and Jamie we have him,

just in case they wanna stop by and say hi.

Ew.

But okay!

Goodbye, Mr. Manchego.

-(whines) -Be a good boy,

and don't pee on anyone's foot.

(door closes)

Why would she even say that?

(trickling)

He's peeing on my foot right now, isn't he?

Yep.

¶ ¶

(laughing)

Mom! Mom! Mom, there's Councilwoman Johnson.

You know, she started an after-school program

for low-income families.

And she helped fund

one of the largest homeless shelters on the South Side.

She is my hero.

I thought I was your hero.

Can't a girl have two heroes?

Yeah, whatever.

I'm just lettin' you know, you my hero.

Oh! (giggles)

(gasps) Nia, look!

It's Shinée Dubois, the editor of Fashion Now! magazine.

Ah! She's my hero.

-But-- -Ah, you got two.

¶ ¶

Okay, Levi.

Remember, play it cool.

If Sebastian asks about the dog,

just say, "It's cool.

"Mom's cool with it.

It's all cool."

-Cool? -Cool.

Hey, boys.

Hey.

What's a dog doing here?

It's cool.

Mom's cool with it.

It's all cool.

Why are you boys saying "cool" so much?

11:42.

Sebastian started to become suspicious

by the overuse of the word "cool."

(laughing) Sebastian!

Seb!

Sea Bass.

No. Don't "Sea Bass" me.

You guys are up to something with that dog.

Come on, Sebadiah,

Sebarino, Seb-a-dab-a-do.

Mm-mm. I'm calling your mother.

What? What? What? Why?

To-- to tell her something she's already cool about?

I mean, a good assistant would know she's cool with it.

Well, I'm a good assistant.

And you're also in charge.

I'm very in charge!

Then you know my mom's cool with it.

Exactly!

Which means you're cool with it.

You're darn right I'm cool with it!

I'm in charge!

Oh, but just so we're clear.

The dog has the same rules you do.

-No messing with your mama's designs... -Yep.

...and no doing your business on the rug.

"Don't..." that's not one of our rules.

Then remind me not to walk barefoot in the living room.

¶ ¶

Welcome, everyone.

This weekend, we will be participating

in exercises designed to make these bright, young women the leaders of tomorrow.

Now, the foundation of good leadership is built on trust.

So, if my young leaders will please partner with your moms

and put on your blindfolds, we can begin.

Nia (whispers): Mom!

This is my chance to impress the councilwoman.

If we nail these exercises,

she'll pick me for Neighborhood Youth Council.

You ready? Mom?

Blindfold on. Blindfold on.

Get ready to go. Let's go.

Now Young Leaders,

you must trust your chaperones to guide you

through this crowded space.

The journey is its own reward.

Hey, Mom, slow down. Let's enjoy the journey.

Oh, trust your mama, sweetheart.

I know exactly where this journey's gonna end.

Now, I got a light touch.

It might be so light,

you might not even feel it. Right?

-It's so light. Keep walking. -Okay.

Keep walking, sweetheart.

Hello!

How are you? I'm Raven from the Ravenous line.

Wow! Mom, you do have a light touch.

It's almost like you're not touching me at all.

Listen, I just really want to show you my designs.

Normally, I'd be so happy to see them,

but right now, I'm focused on my daughter.

Yes! Yes! Me too. Me too!

Look at yours. She's so cute.

Hi! Hello.

Hey, uh, are we-- are we close to the councilwoman?

Isn't that your daughter?

It looks like she's about to walk into those chairs.

You know, I just like to let her find her own way in the world.

I'll be right back.

(whispers): Ni Ni! Nia!

-(both yelp) -(clattering)

(strained): I hope the councilwoman didn't see that.

Oh! No, no, no, shh! Trust your mama. She didn't see it.

She didn't see it. Shh!

¶ ¶

For our next exercise,

we'll be listening to the leader inside of ourselves.

I want you to close your eyes,

remain silent, and let the energy flow

by putting yourself into lotus position.

(sighs)

(grunts)

Okay.

(grunts)

(yelps)

(whimpering)

(whispering): You okay? Okay, here we go.

Come on. Okay.

-Just... -Okay. Yes. All right.

-Ready? Okay. -Uh-huh.

-No! No! No! -Mom!

Okay, sorry. Oh, no!

Mom, shh!

-Are you good? -Just sit down, just sit down.

(whooshing)

(echoing): Impressive design, Raven.

(whooshing)

(gasps, whispers): I gotta make a call.

I gotta go home.

I lotus-ed myself in, I can't lotus myself out.

Okay.

You got this, Raven.

Any sign of Jamie and Amber?

-Not yet. -I thought you boys were taking the dog out for a walk.

We are.

-Here they come. -Right now!

Oh, hey, ladies! (chuckling)

Funny running into you here.

Yeah. What are the odds?

And, uh, look who else is here.

Mr. Manchego!

We're watching him for the weekend.

You know, just two dudes and a dog.

Yep, but it could be

two girls, two dudes and a dog

going for a walk in the park.

Yeah, that sounds fun.

Except it doesn't look like he needs a walk

because he's peeing on your foot.

Oh!

Well, that just means he loves me!

But, um, we're gonna have to take that walk some other time,

'cause I gotta go wring the love out of my sock.

Ladies.

(chuckling)

Well, that didn't work, at all.

There has got to be an easier

and drier way to get the girls to pay attention to us.

(barking)

-What's he barking at? -Looks like you.

(barking)

What's going on here?

What's with all the barking?

-(squishing) -And the sloshing.

(cell phone): Raven's calling! Raven's calling!

(chuckles) I made that. Cute, huh?

(barks)

I can't hear anything in here. I'm gonna take it in the hall.

(barking)

We don't know what you want, boy!

(barking)

Well, at least we know he doesn't need to go out.

What do we do?

(whines) I need a thinking cookie!

(dog barking)

(groans) It's a dog treat!

(spits)

(barks)

-(Booker yelps) -(clattering)

Your mom's jacket!

-No, no, no! -(barking)

-(both grunting) -(growling)

Let go!

Give it to me!

-(grunting) -(fabric rips)

Well, he gave it to you.

Hey, at least he's not peeing.

-(trickling) -Oh, he is!

And then, at 10:43, Levi asked for a bag of chips.

-Sebastian. -Oh, and a string cheese.

-Sebastian. -Oh, FYI, we're out of string cheese.

(screams): Sebastian!

(quietly): Listen, Shinée Dubois is here at the retreat,

and I really wanna show her my design,

so please just send a picture of it ASAP!

(clears throat)

My inner voice told me that there was an emergency at home,

and there was.

Om...

Booker!

I have to take a picture of your mother's design.

Right now! Open the door!

(chuckling nervously)

Hey! There's our new favorite shiny guy.

Open the door.

Okay, Sebastian, look.

-We can let you in... -Uh-huh.

...but you gotta promise not to freak out.

(laughing) Why would I freak out?

No real reason!

(screaming)

What did you two do?!

I promised your mom I'd keep one thing safe!

One thing!

(crying) And I blew it!

(crying)

At least she's cool about the dog.

She's not cool about the dog?

(sobbing loudly)

Come on, Sebastian. Send the picture.

Our final exercise will involve public speaking.

Each of our young leaders has prepared a speech

they will deliver to the group.

This is my last chance to impress the councilwoman.

So, Mom, please, please, stay focused.

(laughing): Focused.

Nia, didn't you learn anything from the trust exercise?

Look, I know you wanna talk to Shinée,

so just please do it now before the speeches start.

-Really? -Really.

-You got two minutes. -Thank you.

I'm a little nervous. I'm gonna go get some water.

Okay, thank you. Shinée!

Hello! I have two minutes to show you my design.

Well, who said I do?

Oh, okay, fine. Show it to me.

Okay, perfect!

Um, I would love to, but I don't have a picture of it,

so I was thinking I would do one better,

and show you a sketch.

Okay, let's see it.

I don't have it. (laughs)

But, uh, maybe I can just sketch it for ya. Do you have a pen?

A pencil? I'll take a french fry with some ketchup on it.

No. I-- I've got some lip liner.

Okay.

Hey, that's a nice color, girl. Where you get that-- I'm sorry.

So, it's a jacket, right? It's a jacket.

It's a retro cinched waist.

You can wear it casual or fancy.

Impressive design, Raven.

You like it?

Thank you.

Can I keep it?

Yeah, of course!

(gasps) JK!

You can't have this. You can't have this right now.

Do you know why? Because my daughter's speech is on this.

-Isn't that crazy? -It's...

-Our daughters worked so hard-- -(stammering) It's on fire.

Okay, okay, so here's the deal.

-We're not gonna tell-- -It's on fire!

We're not gonna tell my daughter.

Okay, first up. We have Nia Baxter-Carter.

That's me, that's me! I'm up!

Is that my speech?

Baby girl, you, um...

you wouldn't happen to have memorized your speech, would you?

¶ ¶

Nia? Nia? Ooh!

Wow, they take security seriously around here!

How you doin'?

Listen.

I'm looking for a little 12-year-old girl.

She's about this tall, this wide,

and, uh, last time I saw her, her face looked like this.

-You mean her? -(gasps) Nia!

Oh my goodness! Are you okay?

Where have you been?

Look, I'm fine, but...

thanks to you, I've been rewriting my speech.

And I'm hoping that I can go into the councilwoman's room,

and convince her to let me read it to her.

You know this is my fault. You should let me talk to her.

Nope!

Mom, please.

Look, I am a Young Leader.

I can fix this myself.

Yeah. Yes, you can.

And I'll come with you. Or not, or not.

-Unless you want me to. -No.

Which you don't.

-Good luck, sweetheart. Bye. -Yeah.

Hi. Sir, is there any way

that I could speak to the councilwoman?

Sorry. She asked not to be disturbed.

But this is important.

You wanna know what else is important?

My job.

And that's to say "no." So, no.

Okay, fine. Fine. I-- I can be scary too.

Not as scary as you.

Oh, no, no, no.

Councilwoman hates yellow mustard.

She'll only eat grain mustard.

I don't know what else to do.

I fed him, gave him water,

and I even tried to play ball with him.

5:43.

Feel like a failure.

5:43 and 10 seconds.

(crying): Still feeling like a failure.

Sebastian, stop.

You're not a failure.

You're a good assistant.

Yeah, you do a lot of great things.

See? Look right here.

9:23.

Made the kids bacon and eggs for breakfast.

You did? Thought we had cereal.

Keep reading.

9:28.

Ate the bacon and eggs I made the kids for breakfast.

They were...

¶ Delicious ¶

Really?

Yeah.

See? Look how it's spelled.

How would you read that?

¶ Delicious ¶

What's your point?

My point is you're a great assistant.

And you're in charge!

In charge of failure!

This log is filled with all kinds of important stuff.

Like my mom's schedule,

her contact list,

all of her fashion designs.

Of course I have all her fashion designs.

I know every piece of fabric she uses.

Her threading, every button, stitch, and hem!

Wait! With all this information,

we could totally rebuild this jacket.

Yes! Yes, let's do this!

Oh, no!

Your hands aren't touching anything!

I'm fixing this!

5:45.

I'm back in charge, baby!

(in deep voice): Grain mustard.

Thank you.

(normal voice) Room service!

Johnson: Be right out!

Can you please set it up for me?

No problem.

Okay.

Uh-oh.

That's pepper.

(sneezing)

Johnson: Bless you.

Thanks.

Extremely sensitive to pepper.

Runs in the family, yeah.

(Raven sneezes loudly)

Johnson: Oh, your sneeze got deeper.

Are you okay?

Yeah, I'm fine, I'm fine.

Mom, what are you doing?

Listen, when you couldn't make it through the door,

-I thought it was up to me-- -(sneezes loudly)

Just stay under here and don't make a sound.

Johnson: Oh, that smells good!

I hope they didn't put cream sauce on anything.

Dairy tends to give me dia-- Nia!

What are you doing here?

I know this looks bad,

but I promise there is a perfectly good reason for me to sneak in here

dressed a room service waiter.

I'm waiting.

Right.

Okay. I couldn't give my speech earlier for...

various reasons, but...

I feel like if you would listen to my speech,

you would really consider me for Neighborhood Youth Council.

You're a persistent one, aren't you?

(muffled sneeze)

Fine. Let's hear it.

(clears throat)

"When I ask myself the question,

"'What makes a great leader?'

"the answer for me is clear.

"Learning from a great leader,

and in my case, that would be my--"

(Raven sneezes loudly)

(coughs)

-"...my mother." -(sneezes)

Well, this isn't my room.

I demand to know what's going on here.

What's going on is

your daughter's been trying very hard to impress me all day,

and you've been ruining it for her.

Thanks for noticing.

So, what's gonna happen now is

you're going to leave the room,

and let your daughter impress me.

Without interruption.

Yes, councilwoman.

(sniffling)

I'll be outside.

Nia, you may begin.

Nia: Thanks. (clears throat)

"When I ask myself the question,

'What makes--'" Yeah.

Listen, wait, wait. Hold up now.

Bruh, bruh, bruh.

Don't look at me like that.

If you had kids, you'd understand.

(gasps) Well?

Well...

You're looking at the newest member

of Councilwoman Johnson's Neighborhood Youth Council.

(both squealing excitedly)

That's my girl!

(both giggle)

Hey, Nia? Did you really mean it

when you said you learned to be a great leader from me?

I did.

You really think I would have dressed up like room service

and snuck into the councilwoman's room

if you weren't my mother?

I learned from the best.

That's my baby!

Nia, I love you!

(door opens)

(gasps) You did it, Sebastian!

It looks just like it did before!

And you look like you did before.

You two are dog-less.

And now, Mom will never have to know

that any of this ever happened.

Right, Sebastian?

I'll never say a word.

I got your back.

We're home!

My baby! My baby!

My baby! (squealing)

It is exactly how I left it!

Do you know that Shinée said that after the retreat,

I can e-mail her a picture whenever I wanted?

Stop it!

-Raven: I know! -Whoa!

-(Sebastian laughing) -Nia: Wow.

Thank you so much for keeping it safe.

Well, I promised I would!

Hey, Nia, how'd your conference go?

Oh, great!

You are looking at the newest member

of the Neighborhood Youth Council.

Stop it!

Whoa! Ha ha!

-Oh! -(cackling)
