She obviously still wants you.

Man, could you just stop?

And you just keep playing them both like an asshole.

When was the last time you played with your kids?

[Karen] Previously on Sistas ....

I'm gonna gut that motherfucker like a fish.

You're the one that brought him into the house.

You let him live there.

Yes, and he has made my life a living hell.

And now!? He's made both of our lives a living hell!

You don't deserve to be hurt the way that you are.

And neither do I.

I forgive you, Que.

Andi, he's in love with Karen. He is. I know he is.

Fatima.

I can't do this. I'm done.

[music]

Andi, I can't. I can't.

I can't do this. Where is the ring?

I had a feeling you would want it,

so I kept it on me.

- I'm giving it back. - Wait, wait.

- No, Andi. - Wait, wait.

No, I can't. I'm done.

- Yes. - No.

Okay, wait. Just hold on to it.

- Andi. - [Andi] Let's talk about this.

I'm done. I'm going home to end this now.

Me and Zac are done. I can't do--

- I don't wanna be like her. - I know.

I don't! I'm not gonna be like--

- I can't. I can't. - I know. I know. Hold on.

- Andi, I-- - I know. I know.

Are you sure?

I'm tired.

[Andi] I know.

I'm tired. I can't. I don't wanna keep going back and forth.

I can't.

[Andi] Listen...

I want you to be sure.

Can you just talk to him before you make a decision?

- Just-- - Andi, I've made my mind up.

I've made my mind up. I, I can't.

[Andi] Just wait and see.

What?

You can't because you and Zac give me hope.

Yeah.

[Andi] You do.

No, you listen to me, okay?

Seeing you two in love

gives me hope, okay?

[Andi] Do you hear me?

I hear you, but I can't do this.

[Andi] You can.

I can't, Andi. I can't.

I'm telling you, I can't do it.

- You can. - No.

No, I can't.

- Listen, okay. - What?

Ms. Porter said a lot of things.

And I think she got us both really upset.

Let's just take a breather. You end things and then what?

What, what? You end it, what's next?

I don't know.

You know, she also said that there's not a lot of

good men out there. Do you remember hearing that?

[Fatima] Yes.

And we know that.

Yeah, and she also said that we stay

because of that very reason.

And Andi, that's not a good enough reason to stay.

[Fatima] It's not.

I know.

Just, I can't do this.

I'm not gonna be in competition with an ex. I'm not.

That's not me.

I know it's not.

So are gonna leave?

Yes.

I'm gonna end it. I can't.

Wait. Okay.

- Just call me. - I will.

An--Andi, if she asks you--

She won't.

If she asks,

just tell her that he's still in love with her.

And that's why I ended it, and she can have him.

[Andi] I'm sorry.

Speaking of ending things...

I guess I'm not the only one who's afraid to be alone.

Hi.

Hi.

Um... Can we talk?

Sure. I was--

I was, uh, just wrapping up.

- Are we gonna talk about-- - What?

What you said about me.

What needs to be discussed?

I mean, you were, you know, kind of--

Honest?

Wow.

Yeah. I was honest.

So...

I'm honest sex?

Oh no, you're great sex.

- I see. - [Andi] Mm-hmm.

I mean, what's the problem?

Men do this to women all the time, right?

Yeah. Well, I mean, no. I don't do that.

Are you sure?

You forget who you're talking to?

Okay, well, since we're, you know, being honest,

I'd like to be honest with you.

That would be great, but I actually have

to get back to work. My break is over.

Andrea Barnes, um,

you're not the best sex I've ever had.

Excuse me?

And the head game is, um...

It's weak.

Oh, uh-- Okay.

What?

[laughs] You're funny.

I'm really, really good at what I do.

Well...

If I'm not good at what I do, why do you always roll your eyes

to the back of your head while I'm doing it?

Oh, that's just frustration.

Yeah, it's just--

- Can't-- - Frustration?

Yeah, it doesn't work for me.

Yeah.

I see what you're doing.

You're trying to get back at me for telling you the truth.

- No, no, no, no, no. - Yes.

No, no, no, no, I'm just being honest.

Since we're both being... honest.

Well, honestly, we should never have sex ever again.

I was thinking the exact same thing.

- Great, can I get back to work? - Yes, you can.

- Thank you! - [Gary] Mmhm.

I'll be at your house at 8:00.

For what?

So we can stop having sex.

[clears throat] Gary...

No.

Andi.

I can see this is turning you on.

I can see it in your eyes.

It's not.

Tell that to someone who doesn't know you.

I'll be at your house at 8:00.

I won't be there.

Yeah, you will.

If I'm there, you won't be able to get in.

We'll see.

I have a meeting anyway, and, uh--

I won't be home until 9:30.

I'll be at your house at 9:30.

[sighs]

[music]

- Shit. - What?

Nothing.

Yeah, okay.

Damn.

I'm gonna make you so happy.

Look, I think we need to talk.

The only thing I want to talk about is being your wife.

Okay, but I think that we need to talk about--

I think I need to go home, cook you dinner,

get the bed ready, so we can finish what we just started.

Tamara.

Hey.

What's up, bro?

Hi.

- She must be-- - Tamara.

- Tamara. - You are?

So who am I? I'm Gary.

Well, it's nice to meet you.

[Gary] Nice to meet you as well.

- Yeah, she was just leaving. - Okay.

- Yeah. I was just leaving. - Yeah.

I'll see you at home, Hayden.

Aight.

Wow. She will see you at home, Hayden.

Don't start, bro.

- Did you get the annulment? - I'ma get it.

You might wanna look at that.

- I don't wanna see it, bro. - Just-just--

- Hayden, just look at it. - Tell me what you found out.

Nothing.

- Really? - Yeah. She checks out.

[Hayden] You're serious?

[Gary] She got in, she got in a little trouble in high school,

but she's good.

Damn. That's good.

Don't do all that. I know you're excited.

[Hayden] I mean, a little bit. Yeah.

[Gary] Oh my God. Listen. All right.

You still need to get the annulment.

[Hayden] No, I will. Yeah, yeah, yeah.

No, no, no, you do because after-after--

- Bro, I'm a lawyer. - After 30 days--

[Hayden] Yeah, I know. I'm a--

She's entitled to half your shit.

You know you're in a law firm, right?

I know the law. I got you, bro.

And you're willing to risk all that?

- Me? - [Gary] Yeah.

You were willing to risk all that for Andi, right?

Hey, whoa, whoa, whoa. That's--that's different.

[Hayden] How is that different, Gary?

Because I've known her for a long time.

All right. Well, I got this, Gary.

You ain't gotta worry about it.

Get the annulment.

I hear you.

And let me know when you find out if, uh,

Robin comes back here, all right?

- Yeah, I got you. - Mm-hmm.

All right.

- Oh, Hayden. - Yeah, what's up?

Take a shower and wash your hands.

- Get out of here, man. - [Gary] Nasty.

You're a hater, bro.

That's good.

- Yeah? - Yeah.

Do you remember?

Remember what?

That you brought me here.

- Here? - Mm-hmm.

On our second date.

- What? - Yes.

Back when you were so broke. Ooh, and nervous.

I was not nervous.

Mm-hmm, but you never told me why.

I don't even know why I was nervous.

You said you would tell me.

You know.

No. Tell me.

I just wanted you to like me. You know how dudes are.

Zac.

[Zac] What? I'm being honest.

I know.

But I was nervous, too.

- You ain't act like it. - [Karen] You know me.

Oh, I know you, trying to act all hard when you're not.

Okay. All I'm saying was it was nice.

- Yeah, it was. - [Karen] Yeah.

And then it rained.

- Oh, it did, didn't it? - [Zac] Yeah.

And then we got stuck on my building on the roof, right?

Yes. And you was screaming and crying.

Thought you was gonna die.

Okay, come on now. It was thunder and lightning out.

Cut me some slack.

Went out the window.

But you're right, though. You're right.

It was nice.

Yeah.

That's when I knew.

Knew what?

That I'd be with you forever.

[Zac] Right.

It's crazy.

[Karen] What?

How life kind of...

puts you where you're supposed to be.

What do you mean?

I mean, look at us.

We're here, but I'm with Fatima

and you're with the preacher.

I am not with him.

But I'm with her.

Are you?

Karen, I can't be any more clearer than that.

Hmm.

You know, Zac, the way you came for me, it was really, really--

I know. I--I know, Karen. That's 'cause I love you.

And I'll always love you.

I don't want anything to ever happen to you.

But I'm with Fatima, though.

You sure?

I'm positive.

I want you to take me home and make love to me.

- I miss you, Zac. - Karen.

- I do. - [Zac] Karen.

And I want you on top of me.

And inside of me, Zac. Only you.

Karen, listen to me.

- I just-- - Don't.

- Don't. - Don't what?

You're about to say, I only came 'cause I thought you was dead.

No, no, no, no, no, no, no. Listen, I'm not saying that.

That'd be a lie.

I came because I love you and I care.

But Karen, I am with Fatima.

Do you love her like you love me?

[sighs] Karen.

[Karen] Tell me.

Karen, this is different.

Our love is different, but no, I don't love her like I love you.

Exactly.

I can't. It's impossible.

Y'all are different people.

The same way you don't love the preacher the way you love me.

I don't love him anywhere near as much as I love you.

Well, that's--

Do you love her as much as you love me?

Tell me.

It's different, Karen. But it's a whole lot of love.

So I'm just making a fool of myself then, huh?

[Zac] Don't do that, please.

Clearly, I am.

So what? Now you're gonna get mad?

Zac, I watched you run to me all concerned.

You left her by the car like she was nothing.

I did not mean to do that.

Well, you did 'cause that's how you felt.

Karen, we thought you were dead.

I never lost anybody I love like that before.

How was I supposed to act?

Exactly how you did, Zac. Your heart showed it.

That's it.

Karen, I'm sorry.

I really am.

But I'm glad we talked.

I'm glad you're alive. I'm glad you're healthy.

I'ma help you get back on your feet.

But Karen, I am with Fatima.

We're gonna get married.

We're gonna have a family.

So you're just gonna pretend like

me and this baby don't exist then?

Karen, I don't even know if that baby is mine.

What? What?

Nothing.

No, tell me. Tell me.

I'ma head home.

- Okay. - Okay.

I want you to come.

Karen, I'm not coming.

I'll leave the door unlocked for you.

You don't have to do that.

Yes, I do.

Because you ain't got a key no more.

You're gonna let the wrong person inside.

No, I ain't... 'cause you're gonna come.

I'm not comin' over there, Karen.

Okay. See you soon.

I'm not going over there.

[music]

Hi.

Hey.

[Danni] I didn't know you'd still be here.

I told you I'd be here.

I mean, that guy's not gonna bother me anymore.

You can go home.

How do you know that?

I'm fine. I'm okay.

[Preston] Just a couple more days.

What's a couple more days gonna do?

I could always stay longer.

No, I'm okay.

Okay then, just a couple more days.

I just wanna make sure you're safe.

Okay. All right.

Okay.

You tired?

[Danni] Long day.

Got it.

That smells good.

Yeah.

I cooked, of course.

That's nice.

Yeah, so--

We're not talking about last night.

Fine. Fine.

- Thank you. - [Preston] No problem.

It's nice that you're here, though.

Um, I was thinking today, you know, about us.

And I was thinking we should, um...

We should give it a try.

Wow. Really?

Mm-hmm.

If--

You have my undivided attention.

If you really...

If you really learned your lesson, okay?

[Preston] Hey, hey, hey. I got it.

Yeah.

Boundaries and understanding, right?

That's a big part of it.

Okay, but--

Give it a try, what does that mean?

I didn't know I would have to explain that to you.

No, listen. I know that you mean me and you.

- I get that part. - Yes.

- But like us dating, right? - Yes, seriously.

Okay. Yeah.

- Are you good with that or-- - I'm great with it.

Okay. Yeah, let's-- Okay.

I'm in.

Okay.

But...

I don't wanna hear about Mindy anymore.

- Mindy who? - Ouch.

Poor Mindy.

[Preston] I mean, you know--

Yeah, but let's-- Let's go for it.

[Preston] Yeah?

Okay, yeah. Let--definitely. I'm here for it.

Uh. Well, we should definitely start this off

with a nice dinner.

Yeah, I mean, it looks good.

Oh, no, no, no. Damn that.

- All right. Okay. - Damn that.

We gotta go out to eat. We gotta--this is a celebration.

Oh my stars!

Do you know how long I've been waiting on this?

It's stress! Preston's taking me out to dinner?

All right. That's a bit much.

Oh, wow. What did I do to deserve this?

Okay, let's go get dressed.

Thank you, Lord.

Can you please? I've already got my nice cowboy boots on.

- All right. All right. - I'm halfway ready.

- I'm-- - Those are fancy.

I'm ready. Okay. That's enough.

Is this place nice, though? 'Cause I'm about to look--

It's--Danni, it's you. Where else would I take you?

- Yes, it's gonna be nice. - No paper plates,

plastic forks or bibs.

The best styrofoam money can-- I'm joking.

Can you get dressed so we can go, please?

- Yeah, okay. - [Preston] Thank you.

All right.

[music]

[knocking on door]

- Hey. - [Sabrina] Hey.

- How are you? - I'm okay.

- Is Maurice here? - Yeah, he's here.

Well, I've been trying to call him and I can't reach him.

Well, you know the diva. He's in one of his moods.

I talked to Que.

- Really? - Mm-hmm.

Hey Maurice! Get out here!

What? I was pleasuring myself.

I talked to Que. I told him that he has to fix this.

Well, that was a waste of time.

Hey, shut up. What'd he say?

- A waste of time. - Stop it!

- What did he say? - Time wasted.

He's right.

- Shit. - Waste of time.

That is an evil son of a bitch.

But that's okay 'cause I'ma have his ass.

Don't.

What?

This fool's talkin' about having Que gunned down.

Oh my God.

Murder in the street like in the olden days.

- I can't win this. - A good old-fashioned stoning.

Mm-mm. Stop, please. Not with this again.

What?

I keep hearing this over and over again.

Don't. Don't.

Oh, girl. Please.

Yeah, because if you do and something happens to him,

- then-- - Then what?

Then they're going to blame you.

Oh, child. I ain't gonna be nowhere around that.

You won't be able to find me. Poof.

Okay? Voila.

This is serious, Maurice. We have to figure this out.

Girl, you've talked to him. I've talked to him.

He probably talked to himself.

We don't have anything left to do.

He can't be this heartless.

[Maurice] Oh yes, he is.

He's talked to the DA.

They give him a plea deal and all that stupid shit.

We don't have anything left to do. We're done.

I'm sorry. I just wanted you to know I tried.

Yeah, well, thanks for nothing.

Hey, she was just trying to help.

- Hey, I know that. - [Calvin] Then act like it.

[sighs]

Thank you, Calvin.

- He's sorry. - [Maurice] Don't speak for me.

- Then you apologize, then. - I'm sorry.

It's fine. I understand.

Bright side. I've come up with something else.

What, Maurice?

Don't worry about it. I'll just see you on the other side.

- Maurice. - Don't touch.

Don't you touch my bosom.

Maurice.

I'll see you on the other side.

You think we should go with him?

I mean, he's not gonna hurt himself so--

Okay. Maybe we should.

Dumb bitches, I ain't goin' nowhere, but to the hair salon.

I have to get my edges touched up.

I'd never kill myself, not ever.

How did you all become friends?

- We worked together. - Oh my God.

Yeah.

It's like everything's a joke to him.

- I know. - [sighs] God.

He's just so hurt.

Yeah, I understand, but--

I don't know how much longer I can take this, Calvin.

Hey, it's gonna be all right. All right?

I hope so.

[phone ringing]

- Excuse me for a second. - Okay.

Hey.

[Andi] Can you meet me at Karen's?

Yeah. Is she okay?

[Andi] Yes. She's fine, but we need to go over there.

What's going on?

[Andi] Just call Danni and you all head over there, okay?

Okay, but is she good?

[Andi] Yeah, she's fine. I'll see you soon.

Okay. I'll see you in a few minutes. Bye.

Calvin, can you just give me another minute?

- [Calvin] Yeah, that's cool. - Okay. Thank you.

Um.

- [Danni] Hey. - Hey.

- Where are you? - [Danni] At home.

Okay. Can you meet me at Karen's? Andi just called me.

[Danni] Is she okay?

I mean, she said she was fine, but--

[Danni] Then why does she want us over there? Is it more drama?

I don't know what's going on. Just meet me, okay?

[Danni] All right. Well, is she gonna tell us

who the baby daddy is?

I sure hope so.

[Danni] Okay. Well, I was getting ready to go out,

but, I mean--

Okay. Hopefully, it won't take that long. I'll see you soon.

[Danni] I'll meet you over there instead.

Bye.

- Calvin? - [Calvin] Yeah?

- I have to go right now. - Oh, uh, but I--

But what?

I thought you may want to hang out.

I just--I've really got a lot going on right now, so--

You're hangin' out with him.

Calvin, please. Please.

You know what? You're right. I'm sorry.

- It's just-- - I'm sorry.

It's really stressful right now.

I understand. I apologize.

- Thank you for everything. - Okay.

- I'll see you later? - Yeah.

Okay.

Oh, Que!

What the hell, man? Come on, man.

Hi!

Are you following me?

Why are you moving so slow?

'Cause you shot my ass.

That's not all I'm gonna do to your ass.

Think I'm afraid of you?

No.

Then leave me the hell alone.

Mm-mm. Why would I do that?

I'm telling you right now.

Oh, Que. I've lost my job. I've lost everything.

Why would I ever leave you alone?

I'm dead-ass serious. Get the fuck away from me.

Where you going, Boo?

What is this? Who is that?

Don't worry about it.

Well, whoever she is needs to know you're

a low-down dirty bastard!

Keep playing with me.

Oh hey, sus!

Girl, he gonna steal everything from you! Run for the hills!

I tell you right now! You won't be doing well for long!

Let me tell you something, girl. He's full of pus.

He got syphilis! Oh yeah! Yes, indeed, baby!

And I'ma tell you what. Don't go to his house.

He gonna take everything you got.

I'm gonna break your fucking damn neck.

Wooden blinds.

- Stop playin'. - Ceramic tile.

- Maurice. - Back splash.

It's dark outside 'cause the bitch stole the sun!

Don't listen to him. I don't know him. Come on.

I'm trying to help you, girl!

Get off my car, man.

Does it start?

Does it? Come on. Let's go.

What's up?

Hey.

How was your day?

It was fine.

Why are you sitting here like this?

We need to talk.

Good. I wanna talk to you.

Can I go first?

No.

Of course not. Why should I go first, right?

[sighs]

Go ahead.

Zac, I don't know if you realize it or not,

but the way you just ran out of the office after Karen,

that shit was not cool.

- [sighs] Fatima-- - No. Let me finish, Zac.

Okay.

Look, I know y'all have history, but to just leave me like that

was not right.

Fatima, I ain't never lost nobody like that before.

Okay, well--

Now, I know you think that I still love her and I do.

I know you do.

But I'm not in love with her, Fatima.

See Zac, I really wanna believe that, but a woman knows.

What does a woman know, Fatima?

- Zac, I was looking at you. - Oh my gosh.

Is that why you don't have your ring on?

Exactly.

Let me guess.

You've probably got your bags packed

at the top of the stairs, right?

Already in the car.

So what you gonna do? Run?

Zac, I'm not running.

If you aren't running, then what are we doing?

Zac, I am not about to get married to a man

that doesn't know if I'm number one.

Fatima, you are my number one,

my one and only.

[sighs]

Then where were you?

I was talking to her.

About what?

Her telling me that she knows that I still love her.

What else?

She said that she wanted me to go home with her

and have sex with her.

Is that so?

Yeah.

And what else did she say? I want details.

She said she was gonna leave the door open.

Mm-hmm.

And what did you say?

I said that I wasn't coming

because I'm in love with you.

So let me get this right.

She just felt bold enough to say that shit to you?

Yeah.

No, Zac. She didn't just say that.

She did.

She said she noticed how worried I was

and that's how she knew that I still loved her.

- I'll bet she did. - Pam said the same thing, too.

Zac, everybody saw it.

The shit was fucking humiliating.

So is that what this is about?

Is it about you being humiliated

or do you really think I wanna be with her?

- Zac, you don't get it. - And that's why I'm asking.

- You don't get it! - I'm asking you!

Zac, it's--

- It's both? - Yes. It's both.

[sighs] Listen, I get it, okay?

I fucked up. All right? I was wrong.

I never wanted to humiliate you.

But ain't ever lose nobody like that ever in my life.

I didn't know how to act.

But I'm telling you, Fatima,

I don't love her like that.

And I'm only in love with you.

If you don't believe me, I don't know how else to say it.

You gotta give me some grace here because when you saw Ian--

Zac, that was different. I already told you that.

Fatima, when you saw Ian, you sat in that tub upstairs

and you looked exactly how I looked.

Come on. You know I'm right.

You're right.

So please, baby. Give me some grace on this.

I'm trying. I am.

Listen to me. I've been going to therapy, right?

I've been trying to be a better version of myself.

I can promise you, I'm not gonna have sex with nobody else.

I only wanna be with you.

I am madly in love with you.

But I'm not begging you anymore.

I love you, but you gotta give me some grace on this.

Okay. I--I'll give you some grace on it.

Thank you.

And I will try to be more understanding.

Thank you.

And you'll put your ring back on.

I knew you had it on you the whole time.

- You didn't know nothin'. - You so stubborn and petty.

You put it back on.

I'm not putting it on.

I already put it on once. You took it off.

You gotta choose to put it back on.

[sighs]

Better?

Better.

Now tell me you love me.

I love you, Zac. I do.

I can't hear you!

I love you!

Is that better?

Almost.

What?

Now show me.

[laughing]

- You get on my nerves. - I love you.

I love you, too. Yeah, yeah, yeah.

- Hey, girl. - Uh, hi.

I just got off work.

Okay. Well, you could've called.

Do I ever call?

I could've been busy.

You're joking, right?

- What? - What?

Did she tell you?

Tell me what?

Don't you dare pretend that you don't know.

What are you talking about? I don't--

She told you about me and Zac, huh?

Listen, I came over here to check on my friend.

That's all.

You can go.

Why?

'Cause he's coming over.

Why, Karen?

'Cause I invited him over for sex.

- Karen. - What?

- What are you doing? - What do you mean? Nothing.

I wanna see him.

You were just so clear and now you're--

[Karen] How's Gary?

Stop it.

[Karen] You're gonna give me advice, right?

I know what you're doing. Stop it!

Hello.

Oh, hell no. What are y'all doing here?

- Please, please. - What?

What? We're not welcome?

So y'all know, too, huh?

Yes.

We know who the baby's father is.

I didn't tell them anything.

Mm-hmm. We know that the baby's father is--

- Zac. - Aaron.

- Oh, is it? - It's Aaron.

[Andi] I told you. They don't know anything.

Okay, so why are y'all really here, huh?

Because we're checking on you.

You're pregnant.

She called you and told you about me and Zac, huh?

What?

Yeah, y'all know. Y'all know. I know y'all know.

No, she didn't say anything.

One day you'll start to believe me.

No. Danni, why are you all dressed up?

Preston's taking me out.

[Karen] Oh, okay. That's new.

[Sabrina] Okay. And back to Zac. Karen?

Look, we just-- we had a beautiful day

and he's coming over.

What?

Yeah. Y'all can go about your business and whatnot

'cause I didn't invite you over.

[Danni] Karen, what about Fatima?

Look, I don't wanna talk about all that, but if you do,

we can talk about all the men that y'all been with, okay?

All right. I know you've been through a lot with Zac.

And um--

[Sabrina] You're starting to get over him, right?

Right!

So--

We're not doing nothing, okay? Zac is coming over for sex

and y'all are heading out. Simple as that.

Yes.

Zac is coming over? Did he say he was coming?

Yeah. That's what I wanna know.

- This is Karen's home. - Exactly.

And I'm gonna leave as soon as I say

what the fuck I came to say.

Bitch, get the fuck out!

[Karen] Next on Sistas ...

Karen, you keep this shit up and I'm gonna show your ass

crazy for real.

I love Karen.

Have you been drinking?

I just had one drink.

Yeah, but you're in recovery.

- Do you wanna have sex or not? - No. Not tonight.

No?

She's not the one that slept with him. That was you.

But yet she still has to pay for all this shit.

Do you want me to feel worse?

I'm not trying to make you feel--

Then what are you trying to do?
