-Previously on Games People Play... -My husband
betrayed our marriage. I don'’t know what to do.
But the question is, what do you
-want to do? -Call me
if you have any questions about law school,
-or call me anyway. -[laughs]: Okay.
MARQUES: I feel like I'’m
in a goddamn box.
I can'’t be who I want to be.
I can'’t feel bad
that Kalinda'’s dead.
And I feel terrible.
VANESSA: Have you been
in contact with Terrence since you'’ve
-been out here? -Do you need me to reach out
-to him for you? -VANESSA: I don'’t want
to start any drama
between you and your IT guy.
Me and Eric will be fine.
Did you not think I was gonna make it out here?
Nia, I didn'’t say that.
You thought I was gonna fail.
I didn'’t think you would fail.
-I got to go. -Nia.
Go with it. Try to draw the foul.
Now knock it down.
I guess it'’s true what they say, huh?
-You do got some game, baby. -Little bit.
What'’s going on here, man? What y'’all talking about?
Nothing, man. Just catching up with my boy Lewis.
He ain'’t your boy, so step off.
Yeah, the truth is Kareem
could'’ve been a great player, but he ain'’t.
Just some has-been that never was.
Now Marques King, who wasn'’t even a prospect,
is starting for the Vipers.
Ain'’t that some shit.
Yeah.
Life'’s full of surprises.
I have a degree in child psychology,
but I'’ve mostly worked as a Pilates instructor.
Feel my core.
Don'’t even think about it.
WOMAN: I definitely want
to be a mother. I'’ll probably adopt. You know,
my hips are a little too narrow for childbirth.
But I would love to be a stepmother
if the right situation came along.
Thank you for stopping by.
I had to drop out of med school when my mother died
to take care of my brothers and my sisters.
It'’s like my priorities changed with that one experience.
But you know what?
It'’s for the better.
'’Cause life can be so much more fulfilling
when you'’re touching the lives of others.
Completely.
I agree with you. I...
Well, all right, bruh. We'’ll let you know.
-Thanks. -WOMAN 2: Señora,
I walk here from El Salvador 26 years ago.
I clean house, teach myself English,
marry and become citizen.
I raise my babies.
I raise your babies.
There'’s nothing I cannot do. I can cook
and fix car.
Yeah.
When can you start?
♪
Dang!
It'’s taking all day.
'’Bout damn time.
I said ten minutes.
Yeah, like, an hour and a half ago.
You are not Uber. You are on the clock.
If somebody gave me a company car,
-I'’d learn to drive. -I'’ll just Uber home.
I know you have better things to do with your time
than to stake out a plastic surgeon,
but at least you ain'’t got to go to rehab.
Rehab?
MJ, I had no idea.
For a story.
Since you blew the GoldenGoddess ass story,
it'’s been DEFCON 5 up in this bitch.
-I did not blow the story. -Yeah, you did.
-I... -It'’s all good, though.
What?
ROSENTHAL: Ms. Bullock.
-Dr. Rosenthal. -Nice to meet you.
Nice to meet you.
So, where should we start?
Well, you know how you fixed her cankles before the world tour?
-I want the same thing. -Not my work, if she had work done.
[chuckles] Okay. Well, what about this one?
I love what you did with her butt.
That was, that was you, right?
I'’m not sure if that was anybody.
I think that'’s her butt.
Oh. [laughs] Really?
Oh, but this was, this was definitely your work.
Ms. Bullock, I see what you'’re after,
and I can'’t give you what you want.
-Thank you for your time. -But I might
be able to give you what you need.
Excuse me?
Asshole.
[laughter]
And then that bitch asked me to invest in her clothing line.
-What? -Oh, hell no. -Mm-hmm.
I told that bitch, I am sample-size.
If you don'’t take your plus-size ass over to somebody
-who give a damn... -[laughter]
-Must be kidding me. -Well, let me tell y'’all, I met this ho
who was marketing her own line of perforated condoms.
-Wait, what? -She was on Shark Tank
-and everything. I think she'’s selling them on eBay. -Etsy.
-And they'’re on backorder. -I'’m just saying, girl,
-that'’s kind of nasty. -Don'’t knock it till you try it.
THEODORE: All right, this one is very fruit-forward,
with a nice round mouthfeel and a hint of leather.
-Is that a good thing? -Oh, yes. Very good.
Hmm, I missed the leather. Hit me again.
-THEODORE: All right. -You know, guys, the truth is,
no one knows what it'’s like to be married to these guys.
So we'’ve got to stick together no matter what.
No matter what.
So let'’s officially welcome Vanessa King
as the newest member of the BSA Wives.
-[whoops] -To Vanessa.
-ALL: To Vanessa. -Cheers.
We are so happy to have you on board.
I mean, we'’ve been trying to get you up here.
I know, I haven'’t had anyone to watch the baby.
-I finally found a nanny. -Oh, good.
-Breadsticks, ladies? -JACKIE: Thank you.
-THEODORE: To help cleanse the palate. -Well, look at that.
We drove 80 miles and they have breadsticks.
-Stop it. -Girl.
-They'’re delicious. -Mm-mm.
JASMINE: Some of them dry as hell.
Anyway. Vanessa, tell us about your new nanny.
On a scale of, let'’s say, Ben Affleck
-to Arnold Schwarzenegger, what are we talking? -[laughter]
She'’s the ideal fit for our lifestyle.
Okay, that means she found an ugly one. Good for you.
-Still not gonna work. -I know.
I know. I was really praying for that Memphis trade.
JASMINE: Memphis would have been nice.
Them bitches be barbecuing? You would'’ve been straight.
-Ha! -SEVENTEEN: The only thing I hate more than L.A.
is Miami. Thot city.
I went to an away game. Those girls were so thirsty,
they were trying to holla at me.
JASMINE: They'’ll do that.
SEVENTEEN: You'’re not doing that though.
Makes you want to kill somebody.
I hope you don'’t think
I had anything to do with that situation.
Uh... Oh, no, we'’re not saying that at all, but we understand.
No judgment, girl.
JACKIE: Cheers?
ALL: Cheers.
YVONNE: We'’re all here for the same reason.
To release the things we can'’t seem to let go of,
take charge of our healing.
And we start by breathing.
In...

Oh, yeah, absolutely.
I'’m sorry, am I s-supposed to be saying something?
That'’s why you'’re here, isn'’t it?
Yes. I have issues.
[clears throat]
Instead of being on the phone,
why don'’t you share?
That'’s my issue.
I'’m always on my phone.
Ever since I was a kid, it'’s been all about social media.
How many likes, who get the most followers. Right?
The pressure is crazy.
It'’s like you'’re trying to substitute virtual stimulation
for meaningful interaction.
Right?
I'’m chained to it.
Like I'’m addicted.
Speak, brother.
And the high don'’t even last long.
You shouldn'’t expect it to.
See, the pressure comes from being on the outside looking in.
You got to stay within yourself.
[inhales] Mm...
Okay. Okay, I'’m feeling you.
Yeah, you don'’t have to answer to anyone,
no matter what happens or what anybody says.
-WOMAN: That'’s right. -Remember this:
we only have one life.
-MAN: That'’s right. -And I promise you,

No!
Bitch, what are you doing?
I am driving. Terrence taught me.
Uh, so he can'’t drive, either?
-[scoffs] You'’re silly. -Oh, hell no.
[groans] I thought the hardest part of this house party
would be getting in, not getting there.
I don'’t see what the big deal is.
Look, all I know is, two big-time rappers
are beefing over the same side chick.
-They'’ll both be there and their wives. -PAPARAZZI: Hey, over here!
Shit gon'’ be popping off and we'’re gonna be ringside, baby.
[laughs] And you learned all that from rehab?
I mean, you know, that and how to make my own vodka.
-[laughs] -How?
Sorry, folks, venue'’s at capacity.
No one else'’ll be allowed in.
-Are you serious? -Have a good night.
I am so tired of this.
I am so tired of chasing this bullshit.
And it is complete bullshit.

I'’m sure I'’ll find something.
You guys have fun.
Will do. I'’ll be back.

Brenda, uh, do you mind staying a little later tonight?
-I think I'’m gonna go out. -Of course, Señora.
Thank you.
KAREEM: All right, listen up.

[whooping]
[laughs] Yo, story or no story,
this is the L.A. we'’ve been missing.
I know, right? I'’ve seen Kevin Hart, a Migos,
two Smolletts and Bradley Cooper.
I have never seen this many celebrities in one spot.
And you can just talk to them.
In the bathroom, I shared my lotion with Tracee Ellis Ross.
I'’ve done some of mine with Don Lemon.
-[both laugh] -LAILA: MJ!
Nia, what'’s up?
Oh, hell no. I cannot be seen with this bitch.
-She slept with my girl'’s husband, MJ. -Look,
this bitch is the one who got us on the list for this party.
-Play it off. -Are you serious?
Just play it... Hey.
-What'’s up? Hi! -How you doing? Hug her.
I'’m so glad you could make it.
We'’re gonna have so much fun.
-Seriously. Come on, let'’s go. -[shouts]

Yeah, that boy'’s long, too.
Long, too. He can shoot that thing.
Got your shoes in the trunk, too, bruh.
-Where you going? -I'’m gonna-- I'’m actually go home.
All right, well, home ain'’t going nowhere.
-Yeah, a'’ight. -Wait. What'’s wrong with you?
-Yo, yo, what'’s wrong... -Yo, man, I'’m out!
What you pouting like a little bitch for?
What?
Pouting like a bitch because of you.
Me? What'’d I do?
You just always got to have the spotlight, huh?
What, you being serious right now?
Man, don'’t tell me you mad about the little gifts
-for the shorties. -"Stupid little gifts for shorties"?
You just don'’t get it, do you?
-What don'’t I get, Kareem? -Look, man,
I'’m working with these kids.
Okay? I got my own thing going on.
Nobody told you to come up here like you LeBron.
Man, I just figured I could give back.
But they don'’t need nothing from you. I got they back.
Damn, bruh, I just figured they'’d want to meet a real pro.
Oh, wow. [laughs]
-Ooh! Ha! -No, come on, man. Hey, chill, chill.
-Wow! A real pro? -That'’s not what I meant and you know that.
That'’s not what I meant.
I know exactly what you mean.
You want these kids to be like you, huh?
A cheater.
-A liar. -Wow.
That'’s right, I said it.
And you know what? I'’m tired of covering up
for your sorry black ass.
Thinking you can come up here in your little fancy car
and give these kids some shirts,
and think they gonna be like Marques?
Oh, I'’m sorry, should I say they want to be like Marques King?
You wack for that.
First of all, look.
-I can'’t help what happened with you. -Mm-hmm.
-And I'’m trying to put you on as best as I can. -Mm-hmm.
-But what I do know right now... -What?
...is I need you to back your ass up.
Or what? Hmm? What you going to do, boy?
Man, what'’s wrong with you? Man, you stupid?
Come on.
Get off!
[both panting]
Kareem! Kareem!
Officer.
-Detective. -Fancy meeting you here.
Yeah, you know, I was in the neighborhood.
Just happened to stop by and take in the sights.
Second time I'’ve seen you, Officer,
and I don'’t believe in coincidences.
Okay.
Well, to be honest, I heard you were on the cheerleader case,
so I came by looking for some intel.
Doing a little freelancing?
Why the interest?
-Just asking for a friend. -Friend of the victim?
-A friend of the Kings. -You know the Kings?
A friendof the Kings.
You want to be Homicide?
It would be a big step up.
Yeah, it would. And I do.
Well, you got an inside on the Kings.
You do something for me and maybe,
maybe I can do something for you.
Maybe.
