You won't believe what happened
last week on Blindspotting.

Let's go.

[upbeat music playing]

[kid] His daddy in San Quentin.

My nigga, your whole family
with the shits?

Hey, I'm with the shits now.

We'll deal with that tomorrow.

[Miles] Ashley Reynolds,
will you marry me?

Yes.

[Rainey] There's this 48 hour

weekend visitation program

for married couples
at San Quentin.

- Sex!
- ♪ Sex in jail ♪

After you and Sean
do this first weekend,

I thought maybe I would take
the next one

to get a little time
with Miles.

Really catching me off guard
with this shit, Rainey.

[Rainey] We moms get to keep
our secrets, don't we?

[indistinct loudspeaker

Only linens in here, right?

Yes, sir.

Okay.
Right through security, please.

Well, what are we gonna do
for 48 hours alone?

I wonder, I wonder.

- Wait.

[upbeat organ music playing]

[Rainey] No, I'm not staying.

I was just walking here
with Nancy.

It was really nice
to meet everyone.

[Nancy] I'll walk her out.

[churchgoer] All right.

You said it wasn't
a Black church.

[Nancy] It's not.

Everyone in there is Black.

I don't want to be the only
white person in the room

talking about my problems

when everybody
else has my problems too,

but they're also, you know--

- Black.
- Yeah, it's a Black church.

- It's not. Now--
- It's right in the name.

Moses the Black
Episcopal Church.

It's not "Moses,
the Black Episcopal Church."

The saint's name is
Moses the Black,

and then it's a church.

I appreciate you looking out
for me, Nancy, I really do,

but I'm fine.

And if I wasn't,
my first stop isn't church.

I love to paint.
That's my happy place.

Let's go paint then.

Because you seem... off.

I'm not off.

And I would love
to paint with you.

- Fine.
- Fine.

[Ashley] That is an adult word.

You are not allowed
to say that word.

Only mommy can say it.

- Not Dada?
- [Miles] Oh, boy.

Ugh, no.

You cannot say that word.
That's all that matters.

But why?

Okay. Baby?

I think this may be
one of those teachable moments

that AOC talks about.

So, uh, take it away.

[Ashley scoffs]

Why do I have to explain it?

Well... you're Black.

[Ashley] Oh.

Okay, well,
your people made it up.

I think we should
stick together on this.

Yeah, okay.

You just can't say it.

You just can't, my bruh.

[upbeat music playing]

♪ ♪

[Rainey] No--fuck!

Motherfucking goddamn stool!

Motherfucker!

This yo' happy place?

Yes, Nancy.
I'm just out of that tea now.

Okay, look,
while I stand by the idea

that you should come
with me to group,

I apologise
for dragging you there.

I just don't do
the Jesus thing.

I wish. I really do.

It seems way better.

I just can't do it.

Okay, I'ma get a rag.

I'm fine.

- We're gonna smoke.
- [Nancy] Okay.

But you chant. You meditate.

You got some God stuff
going on.

Nope, no God.

[Nancy] No God?

Not a single amen
uttered earnestly.

Shit.

Miles wears a cross
on his neck.

Nah, he just likes the shape.

He says it's a T for Turner.

But if it's a bad word
and it hurts people,

then why does Auntie Janelle
say it, and Tía Trish?

Well, Black people can
say it to each other

because it means
something different.

But it doesn't matter
because you can't say it

until you're older.

But why?

- Miles, we are not doing this.
- He's asking.

- No, he asking.
- We're not doing it.

Um, well, it's hurtful

when white people say it
to Black people

because of slavery
and, uh, systemic inequality,

generational trauma, my bruh.

But Black people--

Adult Black people.

...Adult Black people

have reclaimed the word,

and it can now be
a term of endearment,

like "bruh," my bruh.

Okay, all you need
to know is that

you cannot say that word
until you're 14,

and then we can revisit it.

Understood?

Okay.

Okay.

Strong mama.
Strong mom energy.

Just momming
the whole situation.

What's Satanic geometry?

I think you mean
systemic inequality, my bruh.

Um, why don't you go

get that box
over there in the corner

and, uh, clear off
the big table over there,

because Papa needs to do
a little bit of explaining

in a fatherly way.

Come on.

Okay, let's just
assume for a moment

that Jesus was even a real man.

You sure you want to have
this conversation without weed?

I just don't trust the church.

I mean, I go to church,

but I don't necessarily trust
"the church" either.

Look, if you grew up
in Arkansas in 1920

like my mother,

you could get killed
on the side of the road

for no reason at all.

So your faith
has to be unshakable,

even if it was founded
through the only religion

we were allowed to practice,
which didn't quite fit.

Amen, or preach,
or whatever you people say.

- Uh--
- [Rainey] You church people,

not you Black people.

Oh, my God, fuck everything.

[Dauntes] Can I say something?

[Rainey] Of course.

Rainey, it's totally fine
and okay to be angry in life.

We all get angry sometimes.

You just need to let it out
on a cup of tea

till you figure out
where to put it

so it doesn't get in your way.

[both chuckle]

Thank you, Dauntes.

Where have you been
hiding that?

[Miles]
It's time for Gold Rush Hour.

[sweeping Western music plays]

Okay, now that the board
is nice and level,

give me all your gold.

Give me all that gold
and give me all that gold.

- No, this is my gold.
- Right here.

- You're not taking it.
- Move the gold.

I'm trying to teach
the boy a lesson.

- No. No--
- [Miles] Uh-uh, come up off it.

Come up off it.

Phew.
Do not look at this board.

This board,
this is an old, old game.

This is very racist.

Cover these up.
[chuckles]

All right, Papa goes first.

I'm gonna be the boot.

Uh-huh.

One, two, three,
four, five, six.

I struck gold.

That's gold rush, baby!

Gimme that bag right there.

That's my haul.
Give me my haul.

Give me my haul.
All right, we got that.

Now I'm gonna go ahead
and go again.

[dramatic music plays]

Oh, struck gold again!

Give me that.

Ah, ah.

Gold!

Come on, give it to me.
Give it to me now.

Oh, look at all this gold.

Look at this whole stack
of generational wealth.

I'ma throw this
over my shoulder.

I'm gonna go start
a family empire.

Oh, yeah.

Is it my turn yet?

No.

And that, my boy,
is systemic inequality.

That's one of the many reasons
why you can't say that word

we were talking about, okay?

This game takes place in 1849.

It's not gonna be
another 16 years

before you're even in the game.

And when you're finally in it,
it's still totally rigged.

I wonder if they have
Monopoly here.

'Cause if they do,
I can use that to explain

redlining to him
when we get up to the 1930s.

I mean, I'm gonna make
my way there slow--

[Ashley] Okay, okay, okay,
we get it.

You've been reading.

Bedtime.
I'm taking all this gold.

Taking it back from the man
trying to hold us down.

[Miles] That's not how
white privilege works.

We're going to bed.

This is a--this is a new world
you're building.

[Ashley] Pack it up!

[whispering]
Just let me touch it.

[Miles] No, we can't.
He's still--he's still up.

Let's just wait a little.

[Ashley] Oh, I don't care.

[Miles]
Okay, what if he's scared

sleeping in the other room?

Oh, oh, hey--
ooh, girl, cold hands.

- Cold hands, cold hands, okay.

- Oh.

Let's just go--

No, no.

No. No.

You want to hang with Dad?

In order to do that,
I need two waffles.

on each side.

that jam sogginess

to mess up the delicacy here.

Then gonna put a little bit

all up in the middle.

Then we're gonna take

we're gonna
smoosh 'em together.
