Last time y'all saw Star...

JAHIL: There's a big
music festival coming here

to Atlanta, and the
deadline is in two days.

Turn it off.

Didn't you used to
sing with Mixed Harmony?

That's none of your business.

This has to do with you and me.

I look like my mother.
I sound like my mother.

And I have more talent
than you ever did.

Bitch, you ain't your mother.

I just don't want those
girls to go through

what I went through.

I bet everything I had
on you dumb bitches,

and you blew it. Mary with the drugs,

and you, gaining all that weight,

never showing up on time.

- This is Eva. She's my niece.
- Hola.

CARLOTTA: Simone's
foster father is here.

He'd been raping
that girl for years.

That's why they ran away.

Let's go handle business.

SIMONE: I didn't kill Otis.

STAR: Well, if Simone

didn't kill him,

then who did?

CARLOTTA: God.

Sometimes I get
all up in my head.

I start thinking bad things,

and then bad things happen.

I think all secrets
are best buried.

Help me get these girls
through this murder,

and forgive me for the sins
I commit along the way.

I know you looking after them,

'cause it's clear I can't
stop this girl group thing

from happening.

PHOTOGRAPHER: Good.

All right.

You ladies can take a break.

I just got to adjust
the lights for a sec.

You guys look great.

Great.

But, listen, we got to
stick around and rehearse.

"Rehearse"? After this?

Yeah.

Oh, no, I'm good. I'm going home.

We know that number.

You girls got no idea what
you're up against, do you?

The talent pool in Atlanta is a beast.

Y'all got four days
till the live auditions.

You better be the
baddest chicks out there.

PHOTOGRAPHER: All right,
ladies, I'm all set. Let's go.

Hey, listen, can we wrap this
up soon, I mean, if you can?

PHOTOGRAPHER: Yeah, don't
worry about it, just a few more.

All right.

- Good.
- Yeah, that looks good.

Yeah, it looks better. It looks better.

All right. Can you switch for me?

- I got this. - No,
the-the other way.

Switch?

PHOTOGRAPHER: Yeah, there you go.

Yeah.

Can we get some more powder
on this one over here?

Yeah, that's like the third
time you've put makeup on me.

It's just a lighting issue, sweetheart.

No, more like a color issue, sweetheart.

I don't see you powdering
their faces every 15 minutes.

(soft chuckle)

You know what? It's all good.

We got what we needed.

- What is your problem?
- JAHIL: I'm really sorry.

You don't see this?

This hack that calls
himself a photographer

is trying to lighten me
up to blend with you two.

Oh my God, dude, you're being sensitive.

I'm being sensitive.

He was practically salivating
taking photos of you.

Yeah, I have that affect on people.

It's not new.

It's not cute.

(scoffs)

I'm going back to the salon.

You know she's right.

ALEXANDRA: I really
don't get why you won't

at least let me try.

Girl, you... (sighs) you crazy.

I am not letting you dye my hair.

I'm guinea pig enough
just letting you wash it.

What y'all fighting about now?

Joan Smalls is mad because
she didn't get pampered enough

yesterday at the photo shoot.

What happened?

A photographer was too
focused on the two Lite-Brites

instead of taking the actual photo.

Some things never change.

Look, now is not the time to
get into a catfight, ladies.

A man was murdered last week,

and somebody did it.

It was probably her.

You walk around here like you're

some out of place
victim. You've probably

got a shank in that
Chanel lipstick case.

ALEXANDRA: You stabbed
a man once already

- and left him for dead.
- Yeah, I did.

CARLOTTA: I said, knock it off.

Of course you're proud of it.

(phone dings)

Damn. Jahil won't let up.

He keeps calling about the song.

Somebody needs to get you in line.

He got rid of that body for us.

Yeah, so after what he just did,

if he tells you to jump,

you need to be asking how high.

Simone, go get me some
conditioner out of the garage.

It's in that box next
to the old water heater.

(dog barking in distance)

(indistinct conversations nearby)

(sighs)

Oh, my God, it's my mother.

CARLOTTA: Simone, hurry up!

We'll be late.

I'm coming.

MAN: It's all you on this take, Mary.

MARY:
Driving by the park tonight

SIMONE: Mama.

CARLOTTA: Simone, come on. We
can't be late on your first day.

I ain't got time for
your activating, boy.

Come on, Miss C. Can I
get in my good morning?

- Hey, Simone.
- Hey.

Good morning, now keep walking.

I got enough of them damn
fliers in the salon already.

People got to stay woke.

No disrespect, Miss C,
but don't turn a blind eye.

You see they killing us
out here, and it's real.

My mother got her teeth knocked
out so that you could vote.

Don't tell me about
turning no blind eye.

I'm woke.

But I got to live life, too.

I'll put some up at school.

Really?

Well, you can take these.

Yeah.

Got to stay woke.

CARLOTTA: Simone, walk.

You don't have to be
nervous about what happened.

He's dead.

I saw a video.

"A video"?

Of my mother singing.

What was you doing
digging through my stuff?

I-I saw it next to the conditioner.

Well...

that was a long time ago.

MARY: Carlotta, if we do this right,

I think this song could
get us back on track.

It better. We don't got
a lot of options left.

Hey.

(laughs)

I waited up for you last night, Jahil.

- (door closes)
- Oh, I'm sorry, babe.

I had some business
I had to take care of.

Wait till you see what
I got planned for y'all.

Hey, you know what?

On this take, let's
try it with just Mary.

What do you mean,

- try it with just Mary?
- Just this take.

You know, the producer thinks
she has an interesting vibe.

Is this coming from the producers

or is this coming from you?

Really, babe?

You and I started this thing.

Come here.

I swear, it's all good.

- Hey, Cotton.
- Hey.

How you doing, beautiful?

- Where the girls at?
- They in the back.

Hey, but you know you
can't go back there.

What? (scoffs)

Uh, uh-uh, uh-uh, uh.
You need to turn around

and walk right back out that door.

- Oh, is that right?
- Yeah, that's right.

Who is she?

This is my niece.

You know Carlotta don't want you here

when she not around.

ALEXANDRA: What's up?

I thought we weren't rehearsing
till Simone got out of school.

(speaking Spanish)

- What's she saying?
- She likes our singing.

Oh, this ain't about rehearsal.

Look, I want to get you all to Sadie's,

'cause there's a couple
of acts that are competing

in the live auditions that
are gonna be there tonight.

What's happening tonight?

Who is she?

- His niece.
- His niece.

Jahil's taking us to a club tonight

to check out the competition,

so we're about to go get ready.

Simone isn't going anywhere,
it's a school night.

Bad day.

Hey, Lottie, check this out.

You know, since I been pulling
the girls away from the salon,

I thought maybe I'd bring
someone in, help you out.

- Your niece?
- Yeah.

I mean, the girls told me

that you need help around here,

and Eva used to do hair
in the Dominican Republic,

so maybe she could help
you out while we rehearse.

I'm not running a school
for wayward girls here.

Hey, look, those girls,
they need to put in the work

to make it to the next round, so...

She could sweep floors,

but Simone stays.

- Thank you.
-
But you gonna be stuck

(audience cheering)

Thank you, guys.

Thank you guys, you guys were great.

Ew. They're good.

They're just a little more polished.

A lot more polished.

Now you know why I'm
so hard on you guys.

That's your competition
moving forward... it's war.

(audience cheering)

Hey, nice set, ladies.

You killed it up there. Beautiful.

Thanks. Y'all up next?

Uh, no, we're, uh, we're
just spectating tonight, so...

Oh, I mean, I get it.

I wouldn't want to have to
follow after us, either, so...

Don't push it, sweetheart.

We're just saving up
for Atlanta NextFest.

Cute. But to win Atlanta NextFest,

you got to get through us, so...

Who sings the national anthem at a club?

That's all I'm trying to figure out.

Don't worry about it.

They got faces for radio.

- Ugh. And they got a blonde one!
- Okay.

We need to change up our song.

- You think?
- I'm just saying.

These girls have 200,000
Instagram and Twitter followers.

We don't even have a name.

I could have Simone
set up some accounts.

Well, you think she's up for it?

Yeah. Now that we got
rid of her foster dad,

she should be able to do something.

Look, let's just figure
out a song, all right?

Did you kill him?

You could tell me.

How could I kill that big-ass man?

I don't know. I tried, too.

Whatever song we do at these
auditions, we have to kill it.

Well, we'll look good if
you let Cotton do her job

and stop being mean.

That bitch can do with $20

what you can't do
with your credit cards.

And what she can't buy, she'll steal.

- She can give us a look.
- All right.

Well, these live
auditions are in two days.

That's cutting it close.

Dude, we made our demo in a loony bin.

We could do anything, girl.

(laughs)

Well, you know, sister
Jenkins just had a stroke.

Mm.

I need you to step in
as the choir director.

You're-you're here all time,

and, you know, I'll get
to see you more often.

I think it'll be beautiful.

You trying to have everybody talking.

They already talking, baby.

It's what they do.

No, I-I got so much going on right now

with Simone and them
girls and the salon.

What's going on?

Nothing, Bobby.

I'm fine just being part of the choir.

I just got too much
on my plate right now.

Well, I'm-a pray on it.

- (music turns off)
- Well?

STAR: That's not it.

We sang "Break Your Chest" once
and got booed off the stage.

I'm not trying to do that again.

All right, you think you
can do better, let's hear it.

I've got a song.

You don't have to get personal about it.

We can work on it together.

- I've got a song.
- I'm just saying

all I've been hearing are
complaints and no suggestions.

Maybe if you stopped texting
Hunter, we could focus on

- what we need to do.
- Okay, maybe if y'all

shut up for a little
bit and listen to me,

you would've heard me
when I said I got a song.

All right, let's hear it.

I honestly didn't even
know you were there.

Yeah, of course you didn't.

Is that a VCR player?

Just watch.

MARY:
Haunted by the picture frames

Wow. She's dope. Who is she?

Our mother.

That's Mary?

She was so beautiful, Star.

You sing just like her.

No, I don't.

- Star.
- I'm nothing like her.

What y'all doing?

I thought I told you
to put that damn thing

back where you found it.

Get out!

Okay.

JAHIL: You and I started this thing.

I swear, it's all good.

I need you to check on a silver sedan,

Pennsylvania license plate

A10465.

So what you think of the song?

It don't matter 'cause
we're not doing it.

Stop talking about it.

I loved it.

(pop music playing)

Where'd she learn how to do hair?

Eh, um...

l-lots of salons

where I'm from.

Oh, so you understand us.

You just don't speak it that well.

Is that why you came here
to America, for a job?

Um, mi mam?, um...

she came here

15 years ago.

(mutters in Spanish)

What is she talking about?

That was the last time she ever saw her.

Cool, looks great.

- You done?
- S?.

Good luck finding your mama.

Star, you're so damn rude.

I gave her a tip. Please.

Did I do some something wrong?

No, that's just Star.

We're not doing it.

Stop, yo.

You better be at rehearsal at 7:00.

We got so much work to do

for these live auditions still.

Oh, yeah, some girl
group named Glamour's

pretty good, right?

Yeah. Glamour.

How do you know that?

Jahil. He's all psyched up about you.

How do you feel about him?

Got him on a leash.

But if we have any chance at all,

we can't be walking
in there looking like

American Idol rejects.

He has to get it right on
the money flow for real.

We got to have enough for Cotton

to work with to make us look good.

It's not even all that.

All that's extra.

I just want to sing.

That's how I feel about football.

You know, I loved it 'cause
it got me out of the house.

At least you had a house.

And a family.

My dad's in jail.

Last time I saw him, I was 12.

He used me as a shield in a shootout.

Damn.

Nah, wasn't that bad.

Must be why you're so
tight with your mom.

- You got it?
- Yeah, I got it.

What, you think you're
gonna pay for this?

Hey...

Take this.

You sure you want to
give me your credit card?

Can I trust you?

Absolutely.

And tell Cotton to buy you something

so that you can murder
in those auditions.

Hey, man, it's me.

Just checking in to
see if you had a minute

to check out that demo.

Hit me back.

Where's Star?

Out with Hunter.

She knows we only got this
place for a couple hours, right?

Yeah, we can do it without her, though.

Just fill her in later.

We can't do it without her.

She's the lead.

Since when?

Since we need to bring
something fresh, all right?

To get over on these other girls.

Someone like Star singing R&B

gives us an edge.

You mean because she's white.

What, you think I'm stupid?

I didn't choose her
because she was white.

I chose her because of her voice.

Yeah, and that was a smart decision.

Now make another one.

Let Star sing the lead on this,

and you're guaranteed to win.

Why isn't she picking up her phone?

Did you guys do something
to piss her off or something?

(scoffs) You're ridiculous.

She got bent out of shape
over a tape Simone found.

What tape?

It was a video of my mother singing.

- What was the song?
- Something about

unloving... I don't know.

It sounded personal, but it was fire.

I think we should sing
it for live auditions.

Why did my mom and Miss
Carlotta stop singing?

(exhales) It was a lot of things.

Ask Carlotta.

Well, I'm asking you.

You were their manager.

Now you're managing us.

What did you do to make
the group fall apart?

I didn't do a damn thing, all right?

I handled my business.

I had them all lined
up for a European tour.

Everything was cool, and then...

And then what?

Carlotta got jealous of Mary.

All right? Jealous of your mom.

She screwed it up, not me.

Let's get that process on the fly, okay?

I'm gonna try this number.

(line ringing)

WOMAN: Hello?

Mrs. Leecan?

This is Detective Belkin from
the Atlanta Police Department.

When was the last time
you saw your husband?

We found his rental car here.

Who wants to go shoppin'?

What the hell happened
to you last night?

I got us a credit card.

Wow.

I'm sure you went through
multiple orgasms pimping us

before he gave it to you.

Unless you stole it.

You stole it, didn't you?

You stole his credit card?

No, actually, I didn't.

Why do you always think the worst of me?

(scoffs) Wow.

You make Madonna look
like Cinderella, don't you?

He said we could get whatever
we needed for the live auditions.

I'm gonna go tell Cotton.

- (TV playing indistinctly in background)
- (door opens)

(door closes)

Who them flowers for?

Oh, they for you, C.

Special delivery.

That's nice.

Who are they from?

Pastor Harris.

So?

He can't...? Why he can get me flowers?

We ain't no secret.

Hate to break the news to
you, but you sort of are.

I mean, just 'cause we know...

MISS BRUCE: Chatter don't
mean them old biddies

down there at that church don't know.

I can't stand them. They so nosy.

That's why I don't fool with that place.

You know Pastor Harris
asked me to direct the choir.

I told him I'll think about it,

but he ain't gonna
take no for an answer.

Look, all I'm saying is

we need to pay homage to
the girl groups of the '90s

and give it that fresh flavor.

That's hot, that's different,

that's our signature piece.

I know you ain't boosting again.

Like you even care.

This is Hunter's card.

He said we could pick up some
stuff for the live auditions.

I might've gone a little crazy.

That conversation we were
having ain't hardly done.

Right.

We need to agree on a song
that we can compete with.

I'm not singing my mother's song.

It's the one.

It's dope in all the right places.

Get over the issues with your mother.

I know it's easier said
than done, but just do it.

I hate her, Alex.

I hate how she left us,

and I'm not trying to
sing one of her songs.

Quit pushing me.

You okay?

Why does everything have
to be a fight with her?

'Cause that's all she's ever known.

She don't know how to do nothing else.

Well, if we're ever
gonna make it as a group,

she needs to get it together.

That's why there ain't no girl groups.

It's always one.

So, who came up with the
group name, Mixed Harmony?

You or Mary?

Jahil.

(scoffs)

At rehearsal other
day, he was telling us

how you got jealous of Mary
and that's why the group ended.

I don't believe a word
he says ever, but...

is it true?

Jahil is a lying, coke-snorting pig.

His obsession with
Mary is what ended us.

Next time, ask him
to tell you the truth.

MARY:
Baby, I've tried

So, what you think?

This is cute. I like this jumper.

- Yeah.
- That what you made?

- Yeah.
- What is that, Cotton?

COTTON: Girl, never mind that.

Go and apologize.

Why am I always the one
who has to apologize?

Because you the one
always startin' mess.

How do y'all expect to make it

if there's nothing you can agree on?

Go ask her.

She's the one being
precious about a song.

Then work with her.

There's gonna be plenty
of other things out there

trying to tear y'all apart.

She gave up a lot to do this with you.

What you give up?

Where you going?

I was just gonna check out the outfits.

You finish your homework?

(sighs) Half of it.

Okay, well, march yourself back

down there and finish the other half.

Are you still bent up about the tape?

Look, if this music
thing don't work out,

you need something to fall back on.

Why don't you come to
the auditions tomorrow?

See what you're fighting for?

(exhales)

(groans)

(instrumental music playing)

(footsteps approaching)

Sit down.

Okay.

You killed it.

Thanks.

But I hate your outfit.

- Like these?
- Yes, I do.

- Thank you.
- I've hated that outfit all day.

- Hate yours... All the time.
- (laughs)

ANNOUNCER: Give a big
round of applause...

(announcer continues indistinctly)

I don't know, man, we
only had a day to rehearse

and get this song down.

Okay, ladies, they're
calling us. Y'all ready?

All right. Come on. Let's get
out there and make it look good.

- JAHIL: Yes.
- COTTON: All right.

Good luck, ladies.

Uh-huh.

You, too.

- Bitch.
- Ain't no thing. We got this.

All right, let's go, let's go.

(applause, cheering)

-
All because you -
Oh, oh

(applause, whooping)

Come here, girl. Come here.

Mwah! Did you know they
were gonna do that song?

No. I didn't.

I mean, what they did with it

was amazing, and Star,

I mean, she got that same
"it" quality that Mary had.

Alexandra arranged that song, not Star.

Oh, yeah, no. Of course.
But-but Star's vocal?

And those lyrics.

It totally reminds me
of why I fell so hard

for Mary. I mean...

After all these years,

you still don't get it.

What you mean?

I wrote that song, not Mary.

Don't worry. It wasn't about you.

ALEXANDRA: Okay, don't
be mad at Simone.

It was my idea.

STAR: Mama did have a great voice.

The song was beautiful.

She'd be very proud of you.

Don't keep her out too late.

- (clicks tongue)
- Ooh! Girl...

You all killed it!

Mwah. I told you

all that hard work was
gonna pay off, right?

Yeah. Sure.

Yeah, we did it as a group.

Okay. Okay, now listen. I
saw a music contact of mine

in the crowd. I'm-a be
right back, real quick.

All right.

Hey. Yo, Frank.

Yo, Frank! (whistles)

(grunting)

Get off!

Get off me!

(tires squealing)

Y'all were fire last night.

Yeah, but Alex did a great
job of updating the song.

And thank you, Cott,
for making us look hot.

Thank you. You got style.

You do.

- (phone chiming)
- Mm-hmm. You do.

Oh, my God. You guys...

- What?
- Guess what?

We made it to the top 20.

- We're finalists!
- Are you serious?

- Yeah!
- Oh, my God!

- I'm so excited...
- We did it!

What?

- (phone ringing)
- Wait. Hold up.

God's Blessings. Can
you call back tomorrow?

Simone. Have you seen your father?

He left a couple weeks ago to
come get you and bring you back,

and I-I've... no one's seen him since,

and I'm really worried. I-It...

(beeps)

(exhales)

(line ringing)

(sighs)

(phone ringing)

ALEXANDRA: We could see
something, right here.

Don't answer it.

Just let it go to voice
mail. It's the bill collector.

Okay.

We did it!

(phone continues ringing)

Oh...

-
Damn we might crash - (phone beeps)

That was so worth the wait.

Yeah, I told you it would be.

We did it.

We made it through to the next round.

That's great. Congrats.

Thanks, babe.

You ready for the next round?

Am I ready for the next round?

You want to join?

HUNTER: Mom!

So I'm working on your finances,

and I see $20,000 spent

on a high-end fashion boutique.

Yeah. It was pretty cute stuff.

I told you to get a few things.

- Oh.
- Not buy out the whole place.

You lent your card to this...

dirty thong?

- Let me tell you something...
- Mom!

- Get out. Mom!
- Listen to me.

Get out.

Please.

We may have bought a few more things

than you expected, but it's
three girls, and it's 20K.

That's a drop in the bucket for
you. You're not gonna miss it.

That's not the point.

I asked if I could trust you.

And I asked if you were sure you wanted

to give me your credit card.

(door slams)

Amen. Good morning.

CONGREGATION: Good morning.

We are lifting the
family of Sister Jenkins

up in prayer. Amen.

CONGREGATION: Amen.

In her absence,

Sister Carlotta will be
stepping in to lead the choir.

(applause, whooping)

Anything for Sister Jenkins,

and Pastor, of course, and all of us.

MAN: Amen.

-
Oh, yeah -
Higher

We gonna do this a little different.

We gonna switch it up
a little bit, y'all.

Y'all ready?

-
And I know -
Uh-huh

-
I really need you in my life - What's your name?!

-
Showing me the way - MAN: Blondie, what's your name?!

- (camera shutters clicking)

-
Higher -
You keep on lifting me

-
Higher -
Your love keeps taking me

-
Higher - MAN: What's your name?!

-
Higher, higher -
You keep on lifting me

(man whoops)

-
Uh-huh -
I really need you

-
Higher, higher -
You keep on lifting me

-
Your love keeps taking me -
Higher

-
Higher -
Your love keeps taking me

-
Higher, higher -
You keep on lifting me
