I really wanted to see dad.

- You moved out for a purpose.
So, we're moving in with a ring on the finger?

We're bringin' the husbands. - The kids...

Oh, look at Stacey. Is that her husband?
That's Thiemo?
- Basically, long story short, this house was double booked.
I got a message from the homeowner basically saying,
"I hope you had a good stay."
- Just left Angel's.
She's literally having to move out.

- I ain't gonna dance around it.
The people say you were evicted.
- So, I was confused because I was sure
that I had let them know the exact date
when we were leaving.
So, this is why I was so upset.
I'm kinda annoyed because had I known it was July 1st,
I wouldn't have put myself and my family in a position
where we're having to hurry up
and figure out another situation.
- Yeah. - So, any more questions?
I was not evicted, homegirl.
- What exactly is the definition of eviction?
Maybe we should look that up.
- Siri says... expulsion, ejection, ousting,
throwing out, displacement, clearance.
That's exactly what happened.
- Me and Angel have been friends for 20 years,
and Angel has always been trustworthy.
You're bringing up eviction
and Angel's name in the same sentence.
Leave my girlfriend alone.

into this area to be in the group.

I moved here to be with Ashley, and Gizelle, and Wendy?

There was no eviction. It's not like that.

Is it a ring in here? Lord have mercy, the pressure.
- I see Radcliffe, and I go crazy.
- Yeah, I know you get excited, don't ya?
- What is it?
Ahh...
- We're gonna put our first picture in there.
- Okay.
- They don't have princess cut diamonds.
[laughing]
- Two Sagittarius, baby,
we are the fire to each other's fire.
You can't run us. We run us.
But it's like we know the love is there,
and so it's like all the extra bells and whistles
for the outside applause,
that's just really not Greg and our style.
Now that we're here,
I feel like it's been such a great journey.
- Mm-hmm. - But, like,
I feel like we have this.
We're squarin' the condo away.
- Yes.
- So, you are totally fine with it still being
the way that it is.
The condo is still K's condo, in my name completely
as a gift, but it's ours. - Yes.
- And then, so, as far as the house, right,
'cause we purchased the home,
do you think that we will ever, like,
change the deed once we get married?
- If you're getting married, it's like,
they're both properties that you own.
- If? When.
- When? I would say--
- No, I'm saying, like, not-- it's not if, it's when.
- Okay, when you get married, they're both properties.
- So, we wouldn't change the deed?
- No, I don't think neither one is necessary.
I-I don't plan on being here the rest of my life.
- No, we said five years in the new house.
- Five to six years. - Five.
- Oh, gosh, you gonna hold me to that?
- You know I am. - Sounds good.
Ahh, yes, you will.

- Okay.
- How is your jet lag? Are you exhausted?
- I am. - Hi, thank you.
- But it's wearing off a bit. It's not too bad.
- Do you feel like my kids remembered you from last year?
- Yeah, they did. It was, like,
you know, nice hugs, lots of warmth.
- It's nice, I remember when I was first explaining to them
that you were coming. They're like, "Huh?"
So, yeah. - So, did--
how did you explain that to them?
- I explained to them, "Oh, that, you know,
"my father has two other children."
- Yeah. - And they were like, "Oh."
But they haven't quite figured out timeline.
- Yeah. - So, they probably just think
he got remarried and had more children.
- Yeah.
- Ameera lives in Abuja, which is the capital of Nigeria.
We have the same father, not the same mom.
- I guess family is family.
- Family is family. - Irrespective of,
you know, the order.
- And I think I officially learnt about her
when I was about 12.
I remember my mom calling us into the room and saying,
"Your brother and sister are coming around."
And I was like, "Huh?" - What brother and sister?
- Apparently, I had seen her when she was born,
but then I came home and told my mom,
"I saw a baby today."
And, you know, my mom is a lady,
and she's better than me.
I would have burnt the whole house down.
[laughing]
Um, I would like the seafood ka prow fried rice, please,
and then we're just gonna share it.
And she wanted a blue-green mojito.
- Yeah. - Mojito.
- Yeah, and then do you do one with alcohol?
- Yes.
- And I'll be the big sister with the alcohol.
- All right. [laughing]
- Thank you. - Thank you so much.
A lot of the resistance I had growing up
is 'cause my mom had a lot of resistance.
- Yeah, that makes sense. - If she was more accepting
and welcoming of you, I think our relationship
would have started a lot sooner.
- Yeah. Okay, that makes sense. - Thank you.
When he died, and we-we had to have communication
because we had to bury him as a family,
it was the most awkward time for me in my life.
- I think you called me a few hours
after I got the news. - Mm-hmm.
- And, I froze.
- I think that was probably the first time
I've ever called you. - Yes.
And then you went on to say, "Oh, I just want you to know
"that you're loved." - Did I?
- Yeah, and I was like, okay.
- You're gonna make me cry. - Okay.
Um...
- I'm crying already.
- So, yeah, after you said that,
I just thought, okay, maybe this is the beginning.
- Maybe she isn't a monster.
- Maybe, yeah, maybe. [laughing]
- When my father was alive, he really, really
wanted us to be close.
I remember, when I got married,
he wanted them to come to the wedding,
and I said, "Absolutely not.
"This is my day, not your day."
I think it was just me being a bit defiant,
thinking about what would my friends say.
As I have matured in age, in life,
I understand that really all he was trying to do
is have his children together.
And actually thinking about it...
So, I see him more now as a father
who just wanted his children together.
And why wouldn't you?
- Yeah. - And we, God willing,
will outlive parents. - Amen to that.
- And so, what matters is-is the family
that we create now, going forward.
- Absolutely. - Yeah.

Um, last time you guys were here,
we talked a little bit about dad,
and we talked about my relationship with him.
I was hurt because I didn't get to see dad.

Oh, God, this is gonna be a long talk.
Let me have a seat. - It's not gonna be long.
I just wanna let you know I called--
I called dad, and I'm really happy I did.
He was very warm, very apologetic,
and very optimistic about the future.
So, it was a great conversation,
and I'm really happy I called him.
- I don't know.
As long as you feel good about it.
I just don't want you to get your hopes up.
- I'm not, though.
- Okay, 'cause he is notorious for being a disappointment.
Don't put him on a pedestal that he's gonna be that dad,
'cause he's just not. - Mm-hmm. Mm-hmm.
- Yes, he gave birth to you, but he is not, like,
gonna be that fatherly-- - He gave birth to who?
I gave birth to her. - Correct.
- I was the one in labor, in pain, okay?
- Right.
- He was just the freakin' sperm donor.
- Well, y'all were married, so I don't think it's fair to--
- No, we were. - Yeah, I don't think
it's fair for you to say he was a sperm donor.
- He did not take care of me, or take care of you guys,
or even turn back to see how anybody is doing.
- Can you give me one second?
- That's why I gave him the title.
- Give me-- Kruz, take Kamrynn upstairs.

Don't do the thing. - Yeah, but--
yeah, but don't do that. - But don't do that.

I came here to see your renovation
and not to hear some update on the person
that abandoned me and children,
and I had to work four jobs.
- Okay. It's okay. - Come on.
You know how much money I paid
to put you through school?
- The feeling is still very deep for my mom.
To have carried that weight for 40-something years
by yourself,
I'm sure she has a lot of resentment
towards my dad.
But don't give to me the energy
that my dad deserves.
The person that she is speaking of
is also those kids' grandfather.
Those kids don't need to hear that.
- Okay, fine that the kids don't need to hear
what's going on, but your presentation was very off
by putting your hand in the face, right?
It's just funny to me how, all of a sudden,
we're now protecting the image of their grandfather.
- Grandfather who has not seen--
grandfather who has not seen their grandchildren.
- You said that. You guys are--
- Excuse me. Don't interrupt me!
For the first time, they flew across the world
to go see this guy, and he never showed up.
- Girl, like, now you're crying,
and you're doing too much
because you want to have your moment.
- He never showed up, okay? - And that's, to-to me,
I'm not doing that. - I'm not doing too much.
Go away! Get lost! Get lost! - You know-- you know what
she-- and you know what she's doing.
And you know what she's doing.
- Get lost! Don't insult me. I'm your mom.
- It's okay. - Who insulted you?
- You don't have to call me an idiot to be an insult.
- Who called you an idiot?
- I'm here talking to you, and you walk--
- So, now I've insulted her by walking here.
- That is disrespectful!
That's why you don't know your African culture!
- Okay, it's okay.
- Are you coming here to defend your own wife?
- No, I'm coming here. We just-- we-- it's-it's--
- Go there and stand with her. - I'm coming, 'cause the--
the voices are getting-- - Bring Eddie out!
Bring Eddie out! - Yeah, bring Eddie out.
- The voice-- the voices are getting elevated.
- Bring Eddie out!
All that I'm saying-- all I'm say--
- So, I was just coming to calm the waters.
- All I'm saying is this. Don't tell me what I said.
- Mom, lower your voice. Lower your voice.
- Okay. - I've been waiting for you,
because you've been letting mom
just do what she's doing here, in this house.
If the roles were reversed-- - Don't come for me.
- Did you see? - Don't do that.
- You see what you're doing, right now?
You see what you're doing? - You, of all people--
- Relax. - Everything you say--
everything she says, you're, like, defending her.
- Listen. - Yes. Uh-huh.
- You're the man here. - Yeah.
- You are the man of this house. - Correct, correct. Yeah.
- Okay, you're the man of this house.

she's out of control. - What? I'm out of control?

The conversation just is getting very exacerbated,
and I think we all need to take a beat.

how she was talking in front of the kids.
I'm just so upset.

All right, y'all. Y'all be blessed.
Can you take the mic off me, please?
I think I'm done. - Yeah, yeah, please.
The last time you told us about your dad,
and we comforted you.
That doesn't mean we support that stupid ass.
Look at how I am. Working how many jobs?
Helped you with your kids.
Quit my job to take after your kids.
You are here, but, "Yeah.
"I'm not upset when he called me."
Kiss his ass for all I care.

it's always this. - Mm-hmm.

it's a problem. - Mm-hmm.
- Like, look, they even leave together.
They're together, and that's exactly why
I wanted or yearn the relationship with my dad
