- Good morning all.

Now, as you know, both parties have agreed to proceed

with arbitration instead of taking it to full-blown court.

However, the decision I make after these proceedings

will be final.

Are we clear?

- Yes, your honor.

- Of course your honor, yes.

- Let us begin.

- So, Ms. Andrews, how long were you in a relationship

with Mr. Hawkins?

- About 15 years on and off.

- And for those 15 years, you and your 12 year old daughter

you resided with Mr. Hawkins?

- Yes.

- And so what was it that made you decide

to finally move you and your daughter out of the home?

- Tony and I were just arguing and fighting for years.

I mean, he would just...

- Physical fighting.

- No, no.

Tony never put his hands on me.

- So what was that thing, or one thing that made you decide

to finally pack up your belongings and your daughter

and move out of the house?

(slow sad music)

- Mahogany why the hell you got me meeting you out here?

- After I just caught you having sex with my sister,

it's the least you could do.

- What the hell do you want?

- Look, Tony, I'm begging you not to go through with this,

but you know Rachel belongs with me.

- Belongs with you where?

In the house of whores, that ain't gonna happen.

My daughter's coming with me.

You can get that through your thick ass skull.

- Tony, if you go through with this,

I'm gonna drag your ass in the dirt.

- You gonna do what, what, huh?

You gonna reveal my past dealings?

The fact that I used to over bill the customers

and take the surplus for myself, huh?

Is that what you're talking about?

- Yeah that's right.

- Well, let me tell you why you not gonna do that.

'Cause your ass is just as guilty as I am.

Remember all those deliveries you used to make?

Yeah, your ass is just as dirty as me.

The fact that you even knew about it makes you an accessory.

So if I go down, your ass is going down too.

And that's why I know you're not gonna say a goddamn word.

Now, if you need to talk to me again, you contact my lawyer.

Have a nice day.

(slow sad music)

- We just weren't getting along.

And I didn't feel that was a healthy environment

for Rachel to be in.

- But you thought it was healthy to have your daughter

living with a married couple, that who you're on record

considered to be in a throttle with.

- Objection, your honor argumentative.

- Your honor, I don't even understand why Ms. Pearson

is even allowed in the room to be representing

Ms. Andrews, considering that

Ms. Pearson is the wife of her client.

Talk about conflict of interest.

- First of all, your honor

this is not a traditional courtroom proceeding.

- Clearly.

- And legally speaking,

there is no document indicating that me

and Ms. Andrews are married.

I fail to see the relevance here.

- Sustained, continue counselor.

- Why do you feel,

your daughter is better off living with you?

- Rachael has expressed to me many times

that she misses her old school

with the friends that she grew up.

And as a father, I also noticed

that her confidence was a little off,

due to the current living environment that she is in.

- Objection, your honor,

he can't speak to how Rachel was feeling.

- Sustained.

- I also found that I didn't know where Mahogany

or my daughter was living.

Mahogany told me that she was living with her mother,

but I found out that that was a lie.

I found out that she was living elsewhere.

Mahogany also lied to me about her income,

which also affects the amount of child support that I pay.

- So how did you find out all this information?

- And how do you know all of this?

- Because I'm her wife now.

I don't care what you do with this information.

Leave my name out of it.

And what if I don't?

- Do you see what I can do, with information that I have?

Imagine if I had to do some digging.

Good day Mr. Hawkins.

(cough)

- I hired a private investigator.

- Now I need you to tell me the truth.

You don't have to worry or be afraid.

There are no right or wrong answers here.

Okay?

- Okay.

Now, if you had to choose,

which parent you wanted to live with permanently,

who would it be?

(slow music)

- Mahogany, you don't have to do this.

- I mean there has to be another way.

- There is no other way.

My baby's gone.

- Temporarily.

- It doesn't matter, one day is one day too many for me.

All right.

I got to prove to that judge he made the wrong decision

and that Rachel belongs with me.

- I just don't think moving out is the right decision.

- I mean, we can rent an apartment.

Move some of your stuff in.

- We did that already.

- I mean, make it look like you live there.

- We did it, said I live with my mom, look where it got us.

Look, I gotta do what I gotta do to get my daughter back.

- But what about us?

We're family too.

- I'll hit y'all up after I get settled, okay?

(sad music)

- What's going on, baby girl, you seem a bit down.

- I just can't stop thinking about mommy.

- I see.

- Does she hate me for choosing you instead of her?

- Of course not, your mother loves you.

And she always will, she just wants what's best for you.

But right now what's missing for you is being here with me.

Okay?

- Okay.

- How about you go put some shoes on let's head to the mall.

- Cool.

- All right.

Daddy's little girl.

- What are you doing here?

- Didn't mama tell you?

I'm moving back in now for good.

- I guess it took you loosing your daughter

for you to come to your damn senses.

- Bitch, get the hell out of my face.

- What the hell?

Oh, hell no.

- Mahogany.

- What are you doing?

- I'm calling the police.

You're trespassing in my mother's house.

- Give me that, I'm not trespassing.

- What do you call someone who doesn't live here

being butt ass naked.

And you don't even stay in this damn house.

You know what, give my phone back.

- Mahogany, am (indistinct), am living here

- What?

- Hey, mahogany.

Rick, I hope you're settling in okay.

- Yes, ma'am, I am, thank you.

- Great, great.

- What the hell is going on here?

- Mahogany, I am not going to keep telling you

about your mouth.

You ain't too old for me to slap the taste out of it.

- Yes ma'am.

- Now, listen, Rick been down on his luck lately.

His apartment building flooded out,

and he didn't have anywhere else to go.

So I offered him room and board here

as long as he'd accept my offer as the live in handyman.

- You know that's an offer I'm not going to pass up.

- And if I was gonna let you refuse it.

(laughter)

Now I'm gonna run to the store

and see what else I can find to fix for dinner.

Okay?

All right.

Mahogany, do me a favor while am gone.

Act like you got some home training, okay?

- Okay.

- I'm looking forward to this roomy.

- What the fuck.

Oh, hell no.

Hell no.

- Oh man.

All right, so let's get this straight.

Mahogany moved, like moved, moved out the house?

- Yep.

She's gone.

- First, Larry gets fired

for wanting more money for doing less work.

And now your sister, sister, wife moves out.

- Yeah man, sounds about right.

- Well, I guess it's like my mama always used to say,

there's always light at the end of a dark tunnel.

Then again, she also used to say that loose lips, sink ships

but she was drunk and talking to my fast ass aunty,

that got six kids to five baby daddies.

- So what is your point Stanley?

- Well, now that mahogany has moved out,

there's room for me to move on in.

- What are you talking about?

- Man, Macheda found out about Vaselina.

- Macheda, Vaselina.

Where in the hell are you meeting these women?

- Christlovers.com.

That's what they say it on the commercial.

- Alright.

- Anyhow, Macheda kicked me out of our crib.

And Vaseline still lives with her baby daddy

and they three kids.

So, I was just thinking that...

- You was thinking that

you gon' move back in with your mama.

So you can listened to them drunk speeches she got.

- Man, I can't go back there

the whole house smell like corn chips

and rotten banana pudding

- Man, goodbye (indistinct).

Funny guy.

- You always so damn selfish.

- Hey mahogany, it's me checking in on you

I hadn't heard back from you

just calling to make sure you are alright.

Just give me a call when you have a minute.

Okay, talk to you later, bye.

- (indistinct)

- No.

- I think my plan backfired.

I gotta get her back.

I don't know how but I gotta get her back.

- Mahogany, we need to talk about...

- I have nothing else to say to your loose ass.

All right, so just leave me the hell alone.

- Don't get mad at me because your daughter

got taken away from you because of your reckless ass.

- Oh, I'm reckless?

You're the one that slept with her father.

Melody, you've always been jealous of me.

But damn, you had to go and take my sloppy ass seconds too.

- Jealous, I'm jealous of you?

Never.

- Bitch stop please, you've always been jealous of me.

Always wanted every damn thing I have.

Same car, same clothes.

Hell, we go out to eat out,

you had to get the same damn order as me.

And now you wanna take the man I've been with for 15 years?

You are nothing more than a copycat and a thief.

- I'm not a thief, you are.

- Oh really?

How so?

- You stole Cassie and Camilla away from me.

- I what?

- Don't try to play the innocent role with me, Mahogany.

You know what the hell you did

Cassie and Camilla were mine.

I was supposed to be with them

not you, but somehow you walked your ass

in their way and stole them away from me.

- So Ms. Andrews, I assure you that I'm gonna get you

the settlement that you deserve,

possibly even more.

- I appreciate you so much, Ms. Pearson.

- Cassie, call me Cassie

- Cassie, thank you for all that you've done for me.

I don't know what I would've done

if it hadn't been for you.

- Well you gonna eat well tonight

we're gonna get you some rest.

We have a big day ahead of us tomorrow.

- Okay, I appreciate you so much.

- Oh, you're welcome.

You're welcome.

- My pleasure, alright and you have a great one.

- And I will see you tomorrow.

- What a coincidence, that you are my mother's attorney.

- I don't believe in coincidences.

- I believe in fate and destiny,

and you ma'am are my destiny.

- As long as you still paying a fee of 10K a month,

I'll be whatever you want need to be.

- Good, well I'll text you my address,

you get to meet my husband.

And if he likes you as much as I do,

then you are in.

- Perfect,

- I'll see you.

- You took something from me, so I took something

from you.

- Tony?

- You're damn right.

It felt damn good to take his ass too.

But after I found out what he did to you...

- You know what, save it.

I don't need your sorry ass sympathy

but you know what I need for you to know

is that we are no longer sisters

and I wish your triflin' toothpaste slay ass never existed.

- Chill, damn somebody wanna tell me what the hell

is going on?

- Stay the fuck out of me.

- It doesn't concern you.

(instrumental music)

(loud door knock)

- What are you doing knocking on my door like that?

- Is Rachael in?

- No, she is at a friend's house.

- Good

(instrumental music)

- Hey Mahogany, you okay?

Look, I don't know what's going on between you and Melody

but I've seen it's really, really intense.

So, if you ever, like if you ever need somebody to talk to

Mahogany, you can.

- You're here to fix whatever is broken in my mama house,

not to come and try to fix me like you're Dr. Phil

or Iyanna fix my life or some shit.

- Okay, you are right, I'm not Dr. Phil or Iyanna

or some other shit, but let me tell you something,

I'm Rick Jameson, and my job Mahogany,

is to fix whatever it is that is broken in this house.

And that's exactly what I see standing in front of me.

Somebody who is broken.

(door knock)

- Hi

- You are gorgeous.

- Thank you.

- And what can I do for you...

- Mahogany

- Excuse me

- That's my name, Mahogany.

- Beautiful.

- And it's to my understanding that you are looking

for a third party for you and your husband?

- That would be correct, but how did you...

- My sister, Melody, she was talking about it.

And I just thought that you deserve to see all

of your options before you make your final decision.

- You would be correct, follow me.

- Baibe, you really thought helping Tony

get temporary custody of Rachel

was gonna bring Mahogany back to us.

- I just thought that if Rachel was out of the picture,

Mahogany would come home and have time to focus

on this marriage and be here where she belongs.

Apparently I didn't think that all the way through.

- That's rubbish

But for real baibe, you gotta stop stressing out.

And worrying about Mahogany?

Baibe, just have a little bit of faith,

a little bit of believe.

I mean this is gonna work itself out.

Okay.

- You're right.

- I know am right.

I'm always right.

- You gonna say you are right, what do you wanna cookie?

- Yeah, yours.

(hip hop music)

- Tony, what is this?

- What is what, I mean?

What do you mean?

- I mean, are we a couple or are we just having sex?

What are we?

What is this?

- I mean, I just thought we were just having a little fun.

- So, you are just using me?

- Melody, cut the bullshit.

You know damn well you just using me to get back

at Mahogany for whatever the hell

it is you are mad at her how about this time.

Look, you are using me, I'm using you, who gives a shit?

We're using each other and we're having

a good time while doing it.

- I gotta go.

- Oh, that was fun.

- Amazing

- Every moment I get to make love to you, its amazing

- I feel the same way.

But this time it was just different.

- Something was missing.

- Not something, someone.

- So now before you meet my husband,

You have to pass the test.

My test.

(slow music)

(phone ringing)

- Hello?

- Melisa?

- Carille

Have you got that...

I've got the one.

(distorted sound)

- The hell what you doing?

The hell was that you're listening to?

- Forget it Chance

- Can you send it to me?

(indistinct)

This kid is getting freaky in the break room.

That must be really bad at home.

(instrumental music)

- Melody.

- Mahogany.

What the hell are you doing here?

- I was just...

- Melody, hi, I've been meaning to call you.

But I've been busy.

Thank you for considering to be our (indistinct).

But me and my husband, we just have to go with

someone else.

- Someone else, as in my sister?

- Yeah, well, sorry but your services are no longer needed.

Thank you though, bye.

(upbeat music)

- You're just in time for dinner.

We're gonna have to wait just a little bit more

on the dinner, but while we're waiting,

we can pray, bow your heads.

Dear heavenly Father, I come before you Lord,

giving you thanks for this food that we're about to receive.

I thank you for this opportunity for my family

to join together.

Am thankful Lord for the protection

you've given us over any hurt, harm, danger, anything

or anyone that would come to try to destroy this family.

I wanna thank you dear Lord, for the protection

that you've given over my precious grand baby, Rachel

I pray Lord that one day that you will allow her to

return where she belongs.

In your precious son Jesus's name I pray, Amen.

- Amen

Rick, I don't have a lot of rules...

- Yeah, right. - Yeah, right.

- But I do have one very important rule,

no cell phones at the dinner table please.

- Oh, I'm sorry, Mrs. Andrews.

- I'm gonna go check for dinner okay.

(upbeat music)

♪ You already know me, I think I

- Hi, this is Mahogany, if I miss you then leave a message

so I can get back to you as soon as I can.

- She's still not answering?

- No, I don't know what to do.

- Well, I'll tell you what I think you should do.

- What the hell are you doing here, Charles?

- And what the hell are you doing in our bathroom?

- Nigger, is that my towel?

- Well, I mean I guess, I mean you can have it back.

- Hell no, get your stuff and get the hell out.

- All right, so do you want to hear what I think

you should do about your side wife or not?

- No. - No.

- Get out

- So damn rude, I'll see why Mahogany left your ass.

- Hey, morning.

- Oh yeah, what's so good about it?

- For starters you are alive, you are breathing,

you have clothes to wear, you have food to eat

you have a roof over your head.

- All right, pastor I get it.

Aint nobody asked you for a damn sermon.

- Well, there's a lot of days you don't ask for it.

It doesn't mean we don't need them.

- Well, you're just a walking book of philosophies

at the same time.

- Am just speaking the truth,

it's up to you if you wanna listen though.

- Well, lucky for me that I don't.

- So, you are listening to this,

looks like your luck has ran out.

So Mahogany, you should listen.

♪ Actually I've made a lot of mistakes

♪ I'm not proud of everything I've done

♪ But before you decide to judge me, you should know

♪ What you are looking for

♪ Started in the shop little game of house

♪ Ended changing my whole life

♪ I never knew just what to do

♪ So I just had it on the side

♪ I don't regret anything I've done

♪ 'Cause it made me who I am

♪ Something hurting another thing will fine

♪ But it made me who I am

♪ By age 16 I already knew what it felt like to be abused

♪ Money on my mind feather all the time

♪ That's what I really cared about

(door knock)

- Mahogany, what the hell are you are doing here?

- Hey, where's Rachel, I need to see her.

- You are not supposed to be here.

You have a set time remember?

- I don't give a damn what the judge said.

Alright, I need to see...

- No you need to leave, now.

- Tony please.

- No you need to leave, now.

- Mom

- Hey, baby.

(slow music)

- Now that you got some coffee in your system,

I hope it puts you in a better mood

than you was this morning.

- Yeah, but don't pull that stunt you pulled.

Don't you ever do that shit in my house again.

- Listen man, you and Cassie was probably

around the house doing whatever it is that you do.

I knocked on the door no one answered,

the door was unlocked, so I took it upon myself

that was an invitation to let myself in.

Now I wasn't gonna go over to the guest bedroom,

but nobody was in your house,

so I went ahead and used yours.

- You're fucking unbelievable man.

- Unbelievable, no what's unbelievable

is that you let that fine ass Mahogany get away.

- I let nothing get away.

But things just a little complicated right now.

- Complicated?

Shit could be a little complicated

when you first got with Cassie.

- And what is it that you're trying to say, bro?

- My nigga, is it okay to keep it 100?

- Keep it 100.

- Then, alright Coolio I've known you for over 30 years,

and ever since Cassie entered the picture,

it's like you don't make any decisions in your life man.

I'd be hyped too, if my wife is gonna bring another woman

into our bed but it's like you don't get to make any

of the decisions that happen in your marriage.

Cassie picks the house, Cassie picks your clothes

Cassie picks how many kids y'all going to have.

I mean, Cassie picks the woman

in which you two will be married to.

And from what you told me

Cassie is the reason why Mahogany

lost custody of her daughter,

left y'all and turned around and moved out the house.

Keep it 80 more than 92 for you than 100.

So do me a favor.

- What man?

- Tell me when you go boss up,

and start being the captain of your own ship again.

- So how is everything, you doing okay?

I mean, do you need anything while you're here?

- She's fine, she ain't want for nothing.

- I was talking to Rachel.

- I'm fine, I promise.

- Good.

- How about you?

- To be honest, baby I'm hurting.

I'm missing you like crazy, and I just feel so bad

for putting you in such a terrible position.

Having to make such an awful decision,

choosing between me and your dad.

I just wish I would have been a better mother.

I just put you first, I was just thinking about myself

but Rachel, I need you to know that I love you so much.

Okay?

- What about Cassie and Carille?

- There is none more Cassie and Carille,

that's over.

Am staying with grandma now, for real this time.

No more lies, no more secrets.

- You promise?

- Yes, absolutely, you have my word.

- Okay, FYI you're an awesome mom and I love you too,

always and forever.

- Always and forever.

(slow music)

- Hey.

- Hey, my alarm went off on my phone.

- So did mine (indistinct), I completely forgot though.

- I know, my body's all over here.

- Yeah, but was considering.

- Considering what?

- I was considering, maybe we should get someone else.

- No.

- Look, Cassie...

- No.

There is no one else, there's only Mahogany.

All I want is Mahogany.

Hey, all we want is Mahogany, that's all I have to say.

- You listen here, you will get, well if you will shut

the hell up and let me finish,

you will get what's coming to you.

I just need a few more days to solidify things.

Wait, are you threatening me?

Well you will soon find out that Antonio Hawkins

don't take two kind to threats.

Well, if you go make threats,

you damn sure you better make good on.

Piece of shit.

- Daddy.

- Oh hey baby, I didn't see you come here.

- Mom says I've like an angel

- I see.

- Is everything okay?

You seem pretty upset.

- Yeah, everything's okay.

- Just dealing with some grown up stuff.

Nothing for you to worry about.

- And 12 years old, I can handle whatever it is.

- I know how old you are,

I was there when you were born.

But for real you know, nothing for you to worry about.

I got it all under control.

Now go ahead and get dressed for the movies.

- Okay.

Am glad I got to see mom,

I really missed her, I just wish we could be together

as a family like we used to be.

- You and me both.

- Shouldn't you be be fixing something,

instead of wasting time and my mom's energy and power bill?

- Mahogany, its called taking a break,

sorry if that bothers you.

- You are damn right you are

- Yo, what's your damn problem?

- I don't know, you tell me since you claim

to know everything about me.

- Mahogany, I never said that.

- Yes you have, you imply it all the time

with your condescending ideologies and quotes.

- Okay you wanna go there, fine.

You want me to tell you what your problem is

Mahogany?

Your problem is that you are broken and that you are empty.

And somewhere along the way, you try to mask it

with all the things that you think is gonna fix you.

Instead of dealing with the root of the problem.

Mahogany, you stand in your own way

and you mess things up because you are too

damn afraid to face your own insecurities

and admit your screw ups.

And then you take it out on everybody else

including the ones that love you

with your funky ass attitude.

- Are you done?

- Hardly, Mahogany you need to grow the the fuck up

and stop taking shit on everybody else

and look in the damn mirror for once

and fix whatever it is that needs to be fixed in your life.

- Damn it Rick!

Wow, yeah I am broken.

I remember when I first met you,

and you asked me if I was married?

Well I was kind of.

I mean, I was married to an already married couple

and I did that because I was getting paid too.

And I did all of that because I needed to get money

to take care of me and Rachel,

so we could get out of that mess with Tony.

That is what I thought and I kept tell it to myself,

but I was just so alone and empty,

and you know Cassie and Corlile,

they showed me so much love

and I wanted that, I craved it, I mean I craved it so much

that I couldn't even see that I was hurting my own daughter.

They gonna keep behind my secrets.

I was just so selfish, and manipulative,

and I was a horrible mother.

That's why I deserved to loose my daughter.

So I am empty, and I am broken and there's nothing

that can even fix or change any of that.

- Come here.

(instrumental music)

Sorry.

(instrumental music)

- Damn, I love you.

- I love you too.

- Hey, good morning.

- Morning

- You look so much better than (distorted sound).

- Hey, don't push it.

- I got you.

- I just wanted to say thank you for everything,

you know, yesterday, you called me out on some shit.

I really didn't like it at first, but I mean

there was a lot of things I needed to face

for the first time in a long time.

That's it's just that I really appreciate

you just being there taking care of me afterwards.

- I really like I said, I got you.

- Good morning you two.

- Good morning, Mrs. Andrews.

- Morning.

- Mahogany, I think I've given you plenty of time

and space to get yourself adjusted and everything.

But I think as your mother I have a right to know

what's really going on.

How did you two temporarily lose custody of Rachel to Tony?

- She's not volunteering mom,

she's the master of telling lies and keeping secrets.

- No, actually that would be you.

- Come on girls, listen stop.

- So are you gonna tell momma the real reason

why you lost custody of Rachel?

The fact that you lied to Tony about being married

and living with another man and woman.

- Piece of shit.

- Mahogany!

- The fact that I kept that secret for you even after

what you did to me you lying thief and bitch.

- Well I better be a bitch than a whore.

- Stop it.

- You are messing around with everybody,

getting pregnant by three different men,

had to have an abortion three times.

Am not surprised your ass didn't get pregnant by Tony

messing around with him behind my back.

- What's in the soul of my mother is going on here?

- I hate you.

- I hate you more

(indistinct)

- Not in my house, sweet Jesus, what's going on?

I don't know what else to do.

It seems like all the praying I've been doing,

all the prayers for my daughters

have just been in vain.

Jesus, I don't know what else to do.

And where do you think you're going?

- Away from this mess?

- Carlile, I know you've heard me, open the door.

Come on man.

- What?

- It's (indistinct) say you don't look sick to me.

- First off, I'm sick of tired of you bothering me.

- (laughter) Cute, I know what it is.

You still love sick over losing your sweet Mahogany,

with her thick fine ass.

- Don't make me have to you to fuck you up, all right?

- You really gonna fight your best friend?

- Oh with pleasure.

- My bad, bro.

I mean, I didn't mean to disrespect your wife.

Damn bro, I see this really got you tight.

I'm assuming the chronicles the Cassie's

isn't helping anything either.

- And another thing, I don't appreciate what you said

about yesterday.

- What, the truth?

It's obvious she got you all bent over this.

- Listen man, I need you to leave right now.

- Whatever man.

Here the files for our big meeting tomorrow.

Now we don't need your sister, sister,

wives bullshit to be messing things up either.

- Man, get the fuck out, man.

- Whatever, man.

I ain't go keep taking this shit.

I'm trying to be a good friend and coworker.

- Ain't nobody asked you to come over here

in the first place.

Get the fuck out.

Shit.

I was a little iffy at first.

- Well, I'll take that as a good thing.

Jasper.

- No real names.

Let's just do what we came here for.

- Already.

(slow R&B music)

- Cute place you got here.

So how is our little girl adjusting to being back home

with Daddy?

- First of all, she's not your little girl.

I don't give a damn what the hell y'all here going

on at twisted ass set up in that house of whores.

- Well, actually that's what I came to discuss with you.

I made a mistake to give you that information on Mahogany.

I didn't think it was going to build the way it went.

- Oh, what it blew up in your face?

What you thought if Rachel's with me,

Mahogany will have more time for you?

- Yeah I did.

But it was quite the opposite actually.

So now I have to fix it.

- Well fix it, I don't give a damn what you do.

I'm actually trying to figure out what the hell

is that have to do with me.

- It has everything to do with you.

And what you're gonna do, is you're gonna

give her back to Mahogany permanently.

- Oh hell no.

That shit ain't gonna happen.

- Antonio Hawkins,

you might wanna be careful with telling me now.

- Well, I have a better answer for you.

Fuck no.

You like that one better.

- Actually I do.

You wanna play this game, with me?

Fine, let's play.

But just know I always win.

- [Answering Machine] Hi this is Melody.

Sorry I missed you.

Leave a message and I will get back to you.

- So how are you,

gotten a little better since you found a condo?

- Yeah, I guess.

- I'm sorry.

- Sorry?

What are you apologizing for.

- Cause you've just been going through a lot.

Like the way Melody attacked you and shit

and airing your business in front of your mom's.

That wasn't cool.

I'm sorry that happened to you.

- Thanks, I appreciate that.

- What happened between you and Melody?

- Mel and I have just always had the competition going on

I guess, for lack of a better word in our relationship.

I mean, she's just always competing with me for everything.

But I mean, honestly, lately it's my fault

that we're going through all this.

- Your fault, how so?

- Well technically, she was supposed to be the third party

for Cassie and Carlile in their marriage.

But I stole them from her.

- Damn.

- I mean, it was just supposed to be

how to get the money, you know, take care

of me and Rachel, get away from Tony's crazy ass.

But, I mean now thinking about everything

I realized I was wrong.

I was just selfish.

- Okay, so maybe you should apologize to her.

No, like sincerely admit that you were wrong

and apologize for what you did.

Maybe that would ease y'all tension.

And it gives you an opportunity to have not only an open

but honest conversation and to repair your relationship.

- You don't understand, there's nothing like an apology,

that's gonna repair our relationship

at this point, especially not after today.

- Come here.

Never say never.

Anything is possible.

- Here you go with that mess.

- I didn't know you love my sayings.

- Whatever.

- Hey.

Oh men.

How was your day at the office?

- Oh, whining clients complaining senior partners.

It was fantastic.

- I bet, that sounds great.

- I visited Tony today.

- What do you mean, Mahogany's Tony?

- Mmmmh.

I told him he needed to return Rachael to Mahogany

and that would return them to us.

But he stubborn though.

- Cassie.

- I think I might have the thing change his tune.

- Cassie.

- Not cool don't try to change my mind.

You know I am.

- I know, that's why I married you.

- We gonna get her back.

- Come on.

- Where are we going?

- Let's go.

You will see where we going.

- Oh, forgot my bag.

- That was hot.

Do it again sometime?

- Oh, for sure

Do hit me out.

- Okay.

By the way, nice place.

- Appreciate it.

(upbeat music)

- Cute couple.

- What's up?

- What's good?

- Ever seen him before?

- No, I don't know who that is.

Like I said, I'm glad I got a chance to spend the day

with my sexy wife, you know what I mean?

- I appreciate it, thank you for making the time for me.

- Of course, its gonna be even better

when we get the heat though.

- Right.

I thought you said you locked the door.

- I could have sworn I did.

- It's not locked.

- I know I locked this door, what the hell is going on.

(upbeat music)

- Now I know you're feeling a lot better now that

I got some food in your system.

- A fed girl is a happy girl.

- Aint that the truth.

- No, no.

But for real, thank you so much.

I really do appreciate you for being a listening ear.

- It's no problem.

- And I do wanna apologize for the way that

I treated you when we first met.

You actually are a good guy

and am happy we met and got to know each other.

- Mahogany, the pleasure is all mine.

(suspenseful music)

(upbeat music)

- With the lights off.

You know he missing you like crazy though.

As you see Cassie, can't stop calling you.

Carlile can't stop thinking about you.

It's obvious they missing the third piece

- Yeah, I miss them too.

- Well maybe you should do something about it.

You can always take a chance on chance.

Well it was good seeing you.

I gotta get back to the office.

- Keep walking Chance.

- I am, am walking in place.

- Okay.
