Original subtitles

I could hold off on sending the photos.

[Woman] Previously on Sistas...

What's the catch?

I need you to play ball.

A brother hasn't had a whole lot of practice,

sharing my rich fuel.

I can't do this.

Imagine that I'm in there with you.

Robin tried to kiss me.

That heroin was laced with Fentanyl.

Whoever administered it

was determined to make sure that Gary Borders

never wakes up.

What do you want?

There's somebody who would like to talk to you.

-Andi. -Gary?

Where are you?

[ominous music]

Finally. How's Gary?

Still conscious and improving by the hour

the effects of the drug that caused the seizure

appear to be wearing off.

Thank God.

[Doctor] His body's been through a lot,

more than most patients I've seen,

and, somehow, he's still improving.

So there's reason to hope?

Well, barring any complications, I don't see any reason

why he couldn't make a complete recovery.

I must say, Mr. Borders is quite the resilient patient.

You know what else is resilient? Cockroaches.

And just like Gary, they refuse to die.

Penelope, what the...

[Doctor] I'm sorry. Who are you?

I'm Penelope Williams, Gary's fianc�e.

What about that nice woman from yesterday, Andi Barnes?

I thought she said she was Mr. Borders' fianc�e.

You know what, Doc? This is a family matter.

So I'll just take it from here, all right? Thanks.

I've got rounds anyway.

Well, this is a surprise.

Gary's in the hospital, fighting for his life,

fearlessly, Hudson.

Where else would I be?

I don't know. In a witness protection program

or whatever you arranged with the feds.

Plans change.

Besides, why do I need the FBI

to give me a new identity, a new place to live?

Gary took a stab to the chest,

which means he's not gonna be a problem for me

or anyone else much longer.

Well, didn't you get the doctor's news?

He's about to make a miraculous recovery.

Exaggerations of his death were extreme.

Mm, that's a pity.

The world will be a better place

without Gary Marshall Borders in it.

You know, I thought it was Andi

that was the ultimate bitter whore

that wanted to take Gary out.

But maybe I was wrong.

You be sure to give Gary my best wishes.

? My girls hold me down ?

? When them boys mess around ?

? When my love life is a headache ?

? We're going out tonight 'cause I'm looking for love ?

[knocking on door]

[Danni] What took you so long?

Danni, I got here as fast as I could.

But, again, you can't just expect me to come here anytime

without you making an appointment first.

Right, right, well, okay, I'ma commit that to memory

as soon as you help me with this, okay?

This is an SOS.

Okay.

I'm here. What's going on?

I think I'm losing my man and my mind.

So... Well, to quote you to you,

that sounds mad extra.

But go on, I'm listening.

Okay, Tony signed me up

for this leadership initiative at work

without even asking me if I wanted to be a leader

at that damn job anyway.

So, from your tone, I can tell that this upset you.

Uh, yeah.

And then he says, you know, "You can better yourself."

Better for who, --? Better for who?

I'm the baddest bitch in the game.

I need him to recognize that, okay?

Absolutely, um, I love this expression of self-love.

Gotta love you first.

Absolutely, but I'm not the person you have to convince.

So how did you tell Tony that you weren't interested?

Okay, so this is where I think I exhibited growth, okay?

Instead of knocking Tony upside that tank head of his,

I used my words.

Many, many words, but words nonetheless.

Choosing nonviolence over throwing hands.

I know. I know. You been doing wonders, girl.

Okay, about the words you used?

You know, I can't remember every specific thing

I said to Tony.

Do we need to be specific?

It's not, you know... It's not, uh...

-Danni. -[Danni] Mm-hmm.

-I'm here to help you. -[Danni] Mm-hmm.

I can't do that if you don't level with me about everything.

Mm-hmm.

Okay. I cussed his ass out, you know?

Were you at least in private?

We were at a restaurant.

It was lunch hour, though, so it's not a lot...

Were you alone at the table?

We were having lunch with our friends.

Yeah, that doesn't sound ideal.

I know. Did I -- things up with Tony or not?

I just need you to give it to me straight, Doc.

I don't know.

Tony's the only person who can answer that question for you.

However, I think we definitely have more work to do

as far as digging into your emotions.

-Sabrina. -Hey!

-[Karen] I'm sorry I'm late. -It's okay.

I'm so late, I didn't even have no breakfast today.

Don't even worry about it. Come on in.

-[Karen] Thank you, thank you. -You're welcome.

Yo, how you doing today, Karen?

Oh, I'm good, Rich. What you got for me?

Oh. Okay.

Uh, do y'all want some breakfast smoothies?

-That sounds good. -Mm-hmm.

Berries 'cause the babies are craving them.

[Rich] All right, berries for the baby.

-Berries for the babies. -For the baby.

-"Babies." Yes. -"Babies"? Oh!

I got you. I got you.

That's a good man you got there, Brina.

Don't I know it?

Yeah, well, thank you so much for meeting me

and helping me with this. I really appreciate it.

With everything going on, you know,

I need a new set of eyes.

Of course. I always wanna help you.

Is Pam gonna meet us, though?

Oh, no, we dividing and conquering, I'm here

while she's opening up the shop.

Spoken like true business partners.

-Exactly. -I like that.

-Yeah. -Okay.

Well, thank you, baby.

Thank you.

All right, well, let's see if I can make

something marketable out of this pile of information.

-What's in here? -It's not pretty,

but I promise everything is in there.

The receipts, permits,

5-year-plan, 10-year-plan, everything.

Promise.

Well, it definitely looks like I have enough to get started.

-[Karen] Mm. Good. -Okay.

'Cause if me and Pam can get Roots to Riches

really up and running with Ms. Marie's help,

I mean, I can provide for my babies

well into the future.

Well, Karen, well, you know I always got your back.

All right, let's roll up our sleeves and see

how we can get Roots to Riches flying off shelves

and in everyone's household.

Okay, get to work, Brina.

Ah, well, finally, you make an appearance.

Good morning to you too, Hudson.

I called you last night

because Gary had finally woken up

and I held the phone to his face,

and you decide that you're not gonna come

until the next morning?

You don't give a damn about Gary.

That's not true, Hudson.

I had guests over last night, so...

Oh, oh, and so the fianc� that you supposedly love,

uh, you couldn't come and see him

because you had company?

If you must know, I rushed over

as soon as my guests left.

But the visiting hours were over.

-I'm here now. -[Hudson] How convenient.

Are you saying I'm lying?

If you're breathing, you're lying.

Hudson, what is it with you?

Before Gary's stabbing, we barely interacted,

and now you have so much animosity towards me.

Oh, don't worry about it.

I've heard all the stories

and all the shit that you did to Gary.

What I did to Gary, that's fascinating.

Yeah, that's right. I'm not gonna let you hurt him again.

I'm done with this. Where is Gary?

Wouldn't you like to know?

I asked, where is he?

They took him down for some tests.

Oh. Okay. That's great.

If I didn't know you better, I'd think you were concerned.

I don't have to prove my feelings for Gary to you.

You're his employee, not his keeper.

Know your role and stay in your lane. Okay?

Well, Fatima Wilson is your employee.

Right? She has your back.

So I'm Gary's employee and I have his back.

It evens the playing field. Don't you think?

Don't ever compare yourself to Fatima.

You're not worthy enough to wipe her red bottoms.

As a matter of fact,

why don't you keep her name out of your mouth?

I will if you keep Robin Autry's -- out of yours.

You're gonna regret that.

You know the first thing I'm gonna do when Gary wakes up?

What's that?

Is remove you as power of attorney.

And do you wanna know the second thing

I'm gonna do?

Mm.

I'm gonna have my man fire your ass.

[Penelope] Your man? [chuckles]

Oh. Forgot my purse.

And I'm glad I did too.

Or else I would've missed your obvious adoration for Gary.

-Penelope... -No, um, say it again, Andi,

with your whole chest this time.

Gary's your man, isn't he?

He has been all along.

-[Andi] Penelope, I know... -No, save it.

I knew I was right about you.

You lied when you said you still love my brother.

Penelope, if we could just talk somewhere in private...

No, bitch, I am not going anywhere with you.

You know what, it seems like you two

have some catching up to do.

And so, I'm gonna go check on Gary,

see if he's back from his tests.

Yeah, you do that.

Penelope, I know what you thought you heard,

-but I can explain... -[Penelope] I heard you

refer to Gary as your man.

I can explain everything if you just give me a chance, okay?

You do that.

[Andi] I know how that must've sounded.

But I can explain everything if you just give me a chance.

Fine.

But this better be good.

[Zac] Did you say you wanna talk to me about something?

Yeah.

[Zac] Oh, boy.

Okay, what's up, what's up? What's up?

It's about Robin.

Okay. What'd he do?

Well, he pulled me into his office yesterday

and showed me footage of Gary's goon

throw me down on the ground in Gary's office.

What? He did what?

Yeah. And he thinks that gives us motive

for wanting to kill Gary.

Oh.

[Fatima] Yeah.

We going to jail.

We going to jail.

-I know. -We going to jail.

-We might. I know. -Hayden?

So I know we discussed communicating rationally

with your loved ones when you're upset.

Oh, I think I was very rational when I cussed Tony out.

Could you think of a better way to share your issues with Tony

other than yelling expletives?

See, I needed to yell so I can get my point across.

You know...gotta go up here.

-Hm-hmm. -Hm-hmm.

Okay, did the confrontation have to happen in public?

See, that wasn't on me.

He and his boy

came to where me and my girl were having lunch.

And, besides, I was pissed.

And I think Tony needed to know that.

Didn't you say that I need to express my emotions?

Now you telling me I need to hold back.

Which is it?

Danni, I'm not encouraging you to hold in your emotions.

That's what it sounds like.

Just, just express them in a different way.

You know what? This is probably pointless anyway, so...

'Cause I don't, you know...

Danni, cognitive behavioral therapy,

which is, that's what we're doing right now,

it's very helpful with post-traumatic stress disorder,

anxiety, substance abuse,

obsessive tendencies.

Okay, so describing me and all my demons.

Got it. Thank you for that.

Talk therapy is highly beneficial.

[Danni] Mm-hmm.

I think you might be experiencing

some of the benefits, since you called me here.

But you have to allow the entire process to work.

I know. You're right.

Okay. Let's continue.

Okay, this is a rough, rough revision

to start for Roots to Riches,

but I think we have something, Karen.

I am emailing it right now to you

and CCing Pam.

-Perfect, perfect. -Sent.

All right, should be due any minute.

Thank you so much, Brina.

-No problem. It's my pleasure. -[Karen] Thank you. Yeah.

Right, can I get you ladies anything else?

-I'm good. Thank you, boo. -[Rich] You good?

All right, got it. Did the babies love the berries?

-[Karen] Mm-hmm. -Okay.

Well, you two seem to be doing good

after your fight yesterday.

Yeah. We're actually really great.

Good.

Especially after he's able to donate

his sperm sample, finally.

[sigh of relief]

Brina, can we not talk about sexual fluids

over breakfast, please?

-Okay, fine. My bad. -[Karen] Thank you. Mm-hmm.

So what are you gonna do with the rest of your day?

Well, this is it.

Got two businesses to keep afloat.

Two babies, two baby daddies,

not much time to do anything else.

Mm, not even in the love department?

I get all the love I can handle

from my momma and my girls.

Okay.

That's not necessarily the type of love I was talking about.

I was talking about from, you know, the male species.

[Karen] Mm.

When would I have time for that, Brina? Hm?

You don't really have to make time for it.

What if he comes and finds you?

Oh, if he comes and finds me. Okay, let's see.

Well, if this imaginary tall, dark, and handsome man

comes and finds me, he's gonna find this.

And he's gonna run for the hills,

'cause who wouldn't?

Come on, Brina.

Come on, Karen. You deserve love too.

Okay?

Well, what about that cute delivery guy

who keeps dropping off packages at the salon?

-You talking about Trey? -[Sabrina] Mm-hmm.

Oh, he's a baby.

Besides, Pam is already robbing that cradle.

Oh, is she? Oh, okay.

Face it, there's no new man on my horizon.

And that's fine. I got plenty on my plate, so...

Okay.

Yeah.

What about an old man?

[Karen] Mm. Hm-hmm.

No, I don't want no old man.

My big momma told me they give you worms.

I'm not talking about old in age, Karen.

I'm talking about old lover, flame, ex.

Okay, all right, I get the vibe that you giving.

Who are you talking about?

Me rekindling with... I know you're not talking about Zac.

[music]

Penelope, I know what you thought you heard.

I heard you refer to Gary as your man.

Yes, but I was doing that for Hudson's benefit.

So you're not in love with him?

No. I told you that. I swear.

Then why are you up at this hospital,

standing by your man, like a -- country song?

For optics.

I told you and Jordan that over and over again.

Yeah, well, I don't believe you

and neither does my brother.

For once, Andi, can you just tell the truth?

You love being Gary Borders' fianc�e

and throwing your weight around.

That's why you did everything in your power

to wreck my relationship with him.

No, that is not true. In fact, I don't even...

Then why are you here?

Because he asked me to be here!

Right. Did you hear yourself?

So the first thing he does when he wakes up

is ask for your presence, Andi.

Please, tell me again that you two

aren't really in a relationship

and that you still love my brother.

-I still love Jordan. -Ooh, your love is lethal.

I am only gonna say this one more time.

Stay away from my brother.

Do you hear me?

[Hudson] You two still going at it?

Hudson, have you found out any information about Gary?

Yes. He's back from his tests and he is asking for you again.

-Penelope, I can explain... -[Penelope] Uh-uh.

Run along, Andi.

You don't wanna keep your man waiting.

I think I got the answer to our Robin problem.

What's that?

Baby, you have a killer on speed dial.

Why are we not using her?

And while she's at it, she can take care of Hayden too.

Zac, these are people we're talking about.

Are they? Really? Are they?

Okay, okay, okay.

Robin, I'll give you Robin,

He might qualify as people.

But, Hayden, ain't nothing human about him.

He's definitely extraterrestrial.

Look at that -- head. I know.

As many times as I hit it,

you know how many times I had to wipe green stuff

off my hands? It was like ectoplasm or something.

Zac, this is not one of your video games.

Come on, be serious.

I am being serious.

The two of them are ganging up on you at work, right?

And now you telling me Robin trying to pin

the Gary assault on you too? Hell, no.

Get them out of here, both of them.

Hm-hmm.

Look, babe, I don't think Hayden and Robin are teaming up.

All right? He barely tolerates him.

And, besides, Robin is pretty fond of me.

Not too fond?

I tell you, I'll go up in there right now

-like you know. -Zac.

Not like that.

I'm just saying.

Look, Robin is so busy trying to control any and everybody.

He says he's doing it for Andi and the firm, but...

But you can't tell if he's friend or foe.

You know, I...

I can't quite put a finger on Robin's angle.

Now, Hayden, on the other hand,

as much as I would love to drop his ass in a vat of acid,

that'd be too easy.

If he really did this shit,

I wanna serve him up on a silver platter

to Agent Watt.

[Zac] Mm.

Clearing our names and Andi's.

Exactly.

Okay, okay, I hear you.

So [sighs] what's the plan?

Um, I just...

I cannot put my finger on it.

I just feel like Hayden's hiding something.

Just, there's something.

You think Hayden's the one who tried to kill Gary?

I mean, it's possible.

But wasn't they, like, butt buddies, though, like...

Zac, I know you seen the Martin Lawrence movie,

A Thin Line Between Love and Hate.

-You know Martin is my guy. -Exactly.

But, um, that movie more implicates Andi

or even the Penelope chick, not Hayden.

Babe, I told you, Andi did not do this.

I still gotta look into Penelope.

[snaps fingers] I got it. I got it.

You are going to follow Hayden's every move.

We gotta keep an eye on him.

And I'll figure out Penelope.

Yeah. That's it.

Copy.

Yeah.

I wanna zero in on how you use sex,

marijuana, and alcohol,

to... Well, as a crutch

when life gets overwhelming for you.

Damn, Cretia, what you trying to say, huh?

That I'm some dope fiend, alcoholic, sex maniac,

combo meal deal?

I'm not saying anything like that.

But maybe I hit a target?

Okay, maybe I lean a little heavy

on my vape when things get tight.

But you know it just helps me calm down, that's...

I know it does.

Okay, then why are you trying to take it away?

You know I need to be calm. [chuckles]

This is me calm.

I'm not trying to take away your vices, Danni.

Okay? If and when you do decide

to explore abstinence

in regards to sex and/or substances,

that's going to be your decision.

Okay.

What I would like to discuss are healthier tools.

Some of the ones that I mentioned before

to help you deal with your anxiety.

Cretia, I tried the journaling.

That didn't work today or any other day.

That's okay.

Okay, sometimes tools get rusty and you have to sharpen them.

Sometimes you need to use new tools altogether.

Okay, so level with me.

You don't think I'm crazy

to the point of no return or not?

No, Danni, I don't think that at all.

I think so.

Let's discuss those new tools, okay?

All right.

Obviously, I'm not talking about Zac, okay?

'Cause he's with Fatima.

And the three of you,

the drama has subsided already,

so we need to keep it that way.

Fatima and I are in a better place.

But, honestly, that don't even matter. It's irrelevant.

Zac and I have been done for a long time.

Probably before they even met.

As long as the three of us can get along

and coparent, you know, I'm good.

-Okay. -[Karen] Yeah.

Mm, what about Aaron?

Well, of course I want Aaron and Zac to get along

'cause, you know, when they beef...

-Ooh! -Yeah, yeah.

But I'm not necessarily talking about the relationship

between Aaron and Zac.

I'm talking about the relationship

Aaron has with you.

He is one of the fathers of your baby, Karen.

-[Karen] Mm-hmm. -Hm?

So that means I should be booed up with him?

He's cute and he's single.

So that means I should be with him?

He's really crazy about you.

Brina, where's all this coming from, huh?

I just don't want y'all to be alone.

Don't you ever worry about finding love again?

Brina.

I'm not alone and we not alone.

This is the greatest love I've ever known.

And they gonna be here real soon.

So let's just hold on with all that, okay?

Gary, how are you feeling?

I'm glad you're feeling better.

Andi.

Yes, Gary.

You're really here.

Where else would I be besides by your side?

There's, uh, there's something that I need to tell you.

Okay.

[Penelope] Where the -- is he?

I have just as much right to see that son of a bitch

just as she does.

Penelope, please get out of here.

Guard.

-Penelope. -Had to see for myself.

You really are awake.

Penelope, now is not the time.

No, shut the hell up, Andi!

Andi, who, who is this woman?

Who am I?

Is this another one of your little perverse games

you two like to play?

Andi, what's going on?

Penelope, you need to leave.

I am not going anywhere until Gary acknowledges me.

I deserve that much.

I'm sorry, I, I have no idea who this woman is.

[percussive stinger]

Hang on one second.

Good morning, beautiful.

It's much too early and much too late for sweet talk.

Well, is it okay to at least ask

how your session with Cretia went this morning?

You can always ask.

Okay, 'cause, you know, I didn't wanna

cross any lines, so...

How'd it go?

Intense but productive.

Thank you for respecting my boundaries.

Yeah.

Look at us, acting like two mature adults

in a healthy relationship.

-Ain't it swell? -[Tony] Yeah.

Anything positive you'd like to share

from your session? No pressure.

You know, you would be elated to know

I'm gonna stick it out

with the leadership training initiative.

Oh.

-Wow, you are? -Yeah.

Danni, that's, that's great.

I mean, if that's what you really want to do.

Well, I thought it was a good option

for me to better myself.

-Yeah. Okay. -[Danni] Yeah.

Cretia said that if you want to control your vices,

you gotta find something to focus on.

So, hopefully, this initiative

will help me take my mind off of my three Vs.

-Three Vs? -[Danni] Mm-hmm.

Vodka, vaping, and very kinky sex.

You know, clear my head.

-Hold on, hold on, hold on. -Clear eyes.

I don't want you to hastily swear off that last V.

We need that.

I bet you don't. [Tony chuckles] Mm-hmm.

Well, look, uh, I'm proud of you.

All right, I better get back to my office.

You do that.

Hey, girl.

[mutters quietly]

[mischievous music]

How's everyone?

I'm here.

And that's a miracle, so you are both welcome.

[Paige clears throat]

What about you, Paige?

Permission to speak freely?

By all means.

Well, it's just a little disheartening

when you arrive to work on time

and your boss shows up late.

Uh. Catch, Sabrina. She's throwing shade.

It's literally 9:01.

Oh, I know, but as my Mee-Maw always said,

"When you're early, you're on time,

and if you're on time, you're late."

God, I miss that woman.

Not hee-haw, um, Preston.

We will be okay

without advice from your Aunt Bee

down in Mayberry Middletown of nowhere.

Okay, well, first of all, I said my Mee-Maw.

Not my hee-haw. I would never call her my hee-haw.

And second of all, she's not from Mayberry.

She's from Savannah.

Girl, the only Savannah we know here is James.

Niece.

Okay, well, let's get back to Sabrina and her tardiness.

Excuse me. I wasn't tardy, Paige.

And even if I was, guess why it wouldn't matter.

I'm the boss.

Only because of affirmative action.

Oh, Sabrina, this one like cans in face.

I tell you what, I may be gay,

but my hands are bisexual.

Paige, I would advise you to say less.

Okay, well, too late,

because we in the silent majority have spoken.

And even the Supreme Court is listening,

in case you haven't noticed, so...

You know, we'll see if your career continues

its upward trajectory

when you don't have diversity and inclusion efforts

on your side.

Sabrina, please allow me to drag her.

No, thank you.

I'm asking for your esteemed privilege right now.

-Paige. -Yes.

I know that you'd like to think

I got this promotion simply because I'm Black,

opposed to what the truth actually is.

Which is what?

Which is I am far more competent, better qualified,

for this position than you will ever be.

I'm also better educated.

And I would list my credentials to you,

but, ooh, then I would fall into the trap

that Toni Morrison said there was.

What trap is that?

The trap where you entitled white women

constantly just ask questions

about a Black woman's qualifications

just to downgrade us, undermine us,

and waste our time.

I wasn't doing that.

And, sorry, who's Toni Morrison again?

That's Jim Morrison's dad, right?

I'm done here. [chuckles]

I'm done as well.

If you need me, I'll be in my office.

Here you go, babe.

What, what is this? What are you doing?

I'm hand-delivering you your face from the floor.

Yeah. Clock out for me, babe.

You don't know who I am?

[Andi] Penelope.

[Penelope] Let me refresh your memory.

I am the woman that you were gonna marry

days before you were planning to marry this conniving whore.

Andi, what is she talking about?

Penelope. Okay, being angry with me

and insulting me is fine,

but berating a clearly confused man

is not gonna get you the answers you want.

For once, I agree with Andi.

Penelope, you need to get out of here.

This stress is not good for Gary.

Gary doesn't need the stress?

What about the stress that he caused me?

-What about my baby? -Guard!

Baby? What baby is she talking about?

Our baby, Gary.

Yours and mine. We created a life together,

one you took from me.

You're telling me you don't remember any of that?

What is all of this commotion?

I can hear you from down the hall!

[Penelope] Say you remember, Gary.

Say it!

Miss, I'm gonna have to insist that you leave immediately.

My patient is still in critical condition.

-- you and -- your patient.

Let me go, Hudson.

Let me... This is not over by a long shot!

[Andi] Oh, Dr. Leed, Dr. Leed.

What is it now, Ms. Barnes?

I am so sorry about what happened in there.

Do you have any idea

how highly inappropriate it was for the three of you

to be carrying on like feral cats

in the ICU room?

The stress could've caused Mr. Borders to relapse.

Yes, and I promise it won't happen again.

Oh, I know it won't because I'm having the other woman

banned from visiting Mr. Borders.

And if you're not careful, you're next.

Oh, Dr. Leed. Um, I'm so sorry.

Is there something else?

Gary's memory loss, is that permanent?

Don't answer that.

Damn it, Hudson, I need to know

if Gary is gonna make a full recovery.

Just because Gary is awake does not change the fact

that I have his power of attorney, not you.

And if I catch you discussing Mr. Borders' health

with this woman again,

I will make good on my promise

to sue this hospital into bankruptcy.

Do you understand?

I need to go check on my patient.

I need to see you.

Now, girl, you know you got way too much

of an apple head for a style like that.

Come on up to the salon

so we can look online for some more suitable styles.

Bye.

-Pam. -[Pam] Hm?

What have I told you about talking

to customers like that, huh?

Well, wouldn't you rather I be honest?

Do you want big head Trina rocking finger waves,

walking out of here, saying she got her hair done

at Karen's Fresh Start?

That's a good point. You right. You right.

So what happened with Sabrina?

Oh, I took her the rough draft.

She looked over it, made the perfect changes.

Okay, Black girl magic.

We still have work to do, you know,

but it's a start.

Hopefully, it's good enough for Ms. Marie.

Oh.

You hope what's enough for Ms. Marie?

[R&B stinger]

-Hey, girl. -Andi. Oh, hey.

Oh, I'm so glad you came.

-Girl, I'm glad you called. -Yeah.

Come, come.

[sighs] Hey.

-Goodness. -Mmm.

I cannot believe I haven't seen you since the Gary incident.

I know, it's, it's been a lot.

-[Andi] Are you okay? -I'm good.

But I been calling and texting your ass.

I know. I know.

There's been so much going on. I'm sorry.

Tell me about it. So what was so urgent

that you wanted me to get here so fast?

Oh, well, we'll get to that later.

-[Fatima] Okay. -Give me the tea on the firm.

-The firm, yeah. Um. -Yeah.

Andi, I'm gonna keep it a buck with you.

It's a mess.

Look, I know Robin came in

and swept right in to help you with Agent Watt.

And the two of you share a complicated past.

But I don't trust him.

Okay.

Well, I trust you, so what is Robin doing?

Well, for starters,

he handed Hayden your caseload.

-He did what? -Mm-hmm. Yeah.

And he's forcing me to play nice with him

and be that little simp's paralegal.

What is he thinking?

Girl, your guess is as good as mine.

Wait, you said he forced you?

Now, the Fatima I know doesn't let anyone

force her to do anything she doesn't wanna do.

So what's that about?

Exactly. Robin got his hands on some photos

of Gary's bodyguard throwing my ass to the ground

the day of your wedding.

-Fatima. -Yup.

And he thinks that it gives me and Zac both motive

for wanting Gary dead.

And he all but threatened me

to take incriminating evidence to the police

if I didn't play ball with Hayden.

No, that doesn't sound like Robin.

He knows that you and Zac are my friends,

so I'm gonna call him and see what's...

No, no, no. No, no, no, don't do that. Please?

Look, I can handle him and Hayden.

You got enough going on. Just, it's fine.

Are you sure? 'Cause you know I'm quick.

-I know. Thank you. I'm good. -Okay.

All right.

Well, you were right about me having a lot going on.

-I know... -Gary woke up.

Oh, woke up from...

-Yes. -The dead?

No. No, he didn't die.

Damn!

-Fatima. -Uh.

I know it's bad to wish death on people.

-Yeah. -Even Gary. Damn.

You got a point. I almost wish death on him too.

But he's rallying.

They're calling it a medical miracle, so...

-Wow. -[Andi] Yeah.

Guess even evil -- rarely die young, huh?

-I was... -Okay.

[both laughing]

I thought we had him.

Somebody had him. I didn't have him.

-I'm like, "Hold on. Did you..." -[Fatima] Right.

Okay, No, I know you...

-No. -Okay.

His consciousness

is, uh, actually now the least of my worries.

Penelope has turned Jordan against me.

Yeah. The other day,

"You ruined my life! You ruined my life!"

-Wait a minute. -[Andi] Yeah.

The same bitch that you helped,

-that we helped... -Yes, we.

-Turned on you? What? -Yes.

She thinks that Gary and I are conspiring against her,

and I have the slap mark to prove it.

[Fatima] Andi, this bitch slapped you?

Yeah. Hard.

Okay. Come on. Get up. Come on!

Now, we're not gonna hurt her...

-Oh, yeah. Come on. -Okay. Okay.

All right.

-You stand right here. -Okay.

I'ma teach you how to fight.

Uh. What?

[Fatima] Mm-hmm.

What the hell?

Are you trying to give me a heart attack?

Jordan, what are you doing here?

I was about to ask you the same question.

Why are you here, sis?

I went to see Gary.

Okay. Are you coming here as a concerned ex-fianc�e?

Or did you come here to finish what you started

the night you stabbed Gary?

I cannot remember, Jordan.

There was blood all over your hands.

That means I did it!

[Danni] Next on Sistas...

-You walked in on your girl... -[Hayden] No, I didn't.

And your homie?

No, I didn't walk in. It was a video.

I really wanna staple your ear to your jaw.

Is that all that you know?

Sleeping with your boss and violence?

You really had them, and me too, for a moment.

Are we friends?

What's this I hear about you badmouthing Andi?

Was it a mistake for me to give you a second chance?

We thought you were a silent partner.

Silent?

The truth is Mr. Borders may never recover certain memories.
