[narrator] Previously on sMothered...
Can I be in the surgical room with her during her surgery?
No.
[Brittani] Next surgery I really want
is the BBL. The Brazilian Butt Lift.
Where does TJ come into all of this?
He wants to help out.
He's supporting...
-of you? -Yes, he's very supportive.
All I really want
is my mom and TJ just to get along.
So I could actually eventually tell my mom
about our engagement.
[Sky] It's Skylar Marie's birthday.
[all singing]
Oh, my God.
I am so [bleep] embarrassed.
There was so much that I wanted to do and I totally--
No, you did enough, honey. I promise you.
[DeLeesa] I'm not nagging.
I have a question. I wanna know.
And I'm not gonna keep answering the same thing over and over again.
-When-- -Okay. Na na. Enough.
Either she goes...
or y'all both can go.
[host] And the fourth runner up is...
Gabriella Vigorito.
Miss Shoreline, USA.
[Gabriella] I am very disappointed.
We really thought it was our year.
Literally said that I didn't seem mature
and that I need more life experiences to win the crown.
-Who said that? -[Gabriella] It's... The judges.
I just wanted to...
talk to you because...
I'm moving in with Scott.
It's our apartment.
Are you [bleep] kidding me?
Why are you laughing?
-I don't even know what to do anymore. -[Eva] It's not funny.
I swear.
Are you... Mom, are you [bleep] serious?

[line ringing]
[Sunnie] I tried to come clean to my mom about Scott and I living together.
And I told Scott about my mom moving in to my old place.
My mom threw a drink in Scott's face.
I was just not expecting that
and everything happened so [bleep] fast.
-And I don't even know what's happening. -[line ringing]
[Eva speaking]
Mom, where did you go?
-Did you seriously-- -[Eva] I don't wanna...
Mom, I didn't even have a chance to even say anything
because you threw a drink in his face.
-[Eva] Okay. -I was trying to run after you and you ran away.
[Eva speaking]
I don't wanna talk to you.
[line disconnects]
[cell phone clatters]
Sarah, please, come and pick me up.
Why would she go live with a man...
She doesn't even know if he's going to last
or he's really going to be... like...
a husband. You know?
She's a [bleep].
I'm extremely upset with Sunnie right now.
And I just wanna separate their relationship from our relationship.
I do not want to take her out of the picture.
But I swear, it's like...
I would rather be dealing with a crazy ex
or some kind of... you know. This is just so weird and different.
What's going on?
What's happening?
What do you mean what's happening?
-What's going on? -Your sister is moving with him.
What? I mean, why are you so upset about this?
Oh, my goodness.
Don't come and tell me what to do.
I'm not telling you what to do, Mom.
When I got there,
my mom was already in the parking lot ready to go.
She was so upset.
She was hysterical.
-I don't wanna see his face. -You're gonna see him again.
-I don't wanna see his face, okay? -Mom.
Scott and Sunnie are both grown adults.
Calm down.
Stop it.
They don't need to involve my mom
in every choice that they make.
Eventually they're gonna have to move in together
if they're gonna get married.
-"If" they gonna. -Did you think...
-Exactly. "If." -Did you think
-they were gonna live with you? -"If."
-You, Scott and Sunnie all together? -I...
No. No. That's it. I'm done.
Girl, if you see me come back in,
have another shot ready for me.
-[bartender] Okay. -Because I don't know what the [bleep] is going on.
I really don't know what I wanna do now.
Like, I kinda just wanna run away and, like, crawl into a hole.
But my biggest concern is to make sure
that things are okay with Scott and I.
And I'm scared to lose him.
-Oh, lovely. -Hi.
Are you seriously just gonna, like, run away and, like,
ignore me?
Yeah.
Do you know what would have stopped that, Sunnie?
-[Sunnie] What? -A little... a little communication.
All you're doing is switching sceneries to live the same...
lifestyle with your mom.
-I just want to... you to separate... -That's not true.
...us... from your mom. That's it.
It's extremely important for Sunnie to set boundaries
with Eva because if she doesn't...
then Eva will always be.
Eva will be everywhere.
Eva will be making decisions for us.
There will be no Scott and Sunnie.
There will just be more Eva.
We have to have our lives. We have to make our moments.
We have to connect properly as a... as a couple.
Just you and me.
Mama can't always be there.
[Sarah] Mom, I need you to chill out.
-Take a deep breath. -Okay.
-Hang out right here for a sec. -If I am not chilling out,
I wouldn't be standing here, talking to you.
-I'm not raising my voice to you. -Just go. Just go.
[Sarah] I'm gonna go talk to my sister.
Please chill out.
I'm sitting here in the middle,
trying to mediate between both of you guys.
And also, it's a whole-ass
-separate home. -[Sarah] Hi.
What are you doing here?
Mom called me.
Okay.
So, you wanna tell me what's going on?
And I'm learning today, for the first time,
we're just basically switching apartments
-with the same situation. -We're not switching apartments.
Do you know the only reason Mom wants to stay in that apartment--
Because she doesn't wanna live with you anymore.
No. Because she wants to spy on you guys.
[Sunnie] Really?
-I can't deal with this [bleep]. -You're gonna flip this
-around on me? -I gotta go.
-And say it's because of us... -I'm not flipping it...
-... and she wants to spy on us? -...around on you.
[Sarah] Yeah, she does want to spy on you.
Why do you think she hasn't been staying at my house
since you and Scott started dating?
Because she wants to see everything that's going on.
[Scott exhales]
[Scott] Sarah comes over and says that Eva's [bleep]
spying on us?
I mean, I... [chuckles] That's it. I'm out.
Like, I can't [bleep] take that, dude.
-[Sunnie] Like... -[Sarah] You and Mom are like this.
Y'all are tied at the [bleep] hip.
You're a part of our family.
-[Sarah] I am. -[Scott] Excuse me.
[Sarah] I am.
Where are you going?
[Scott] Just get out of the way.
[Sunnie] Are you leaving?
-[Sarah] Let him cool off. -He's gonna [bleep] leave.
-I'll drop you home. -Are you serious?
[Sarah] Just relax.
[Sunnie] Scott, are you [bleep] serious?
Are you seriously [bleep] leaving?
Hello?
Are you seriously leaving?
-I'm through. -[Sarah] I mean, I don't know what to say.
Whatever. Just [bleep] take Mom home. I'm over this.
-[bleep] done. -All right.
[Sunnie] Scott leaves.
And I'm freaking out because is that it?
Is my relationship with Scott over?
And I don't know
whether me and my mom and okay.

There's just so much happening right now.
[Trevor] DeLeesa is finally home from the hospital.
She was diagnosed with postpartum preeclampsia.
We were really scared that
she was either gonna have a stroke, a heart attack.
So she was in the hospital about a week before she was discharged.
So at this point, her blood pressure is stabilized.
But at any point in time, it could spike.
So the important thing for her to do
is to just stay calm
and just try to relax.

Oh my god.
I can't believe you're here, this is so crazy.
Oh my God.
-Hi, mom. -[India] Oh, hi.
[DeLeesa] Look at Uncle Qiyan.
[India] We had a knock on the door,
and there was Qiyan.
My baby boy, home from the military.
I haven't seen him in a year.
-You didn't tell me he was coming. -Yeah, yeah.
Qiyan's back.
Oh my goodness.
Did you really cry when he came through the door?
-I did. I did. -You cried? Really?
I really did.
-[Trevor] You don't-- -[India] Nah.
He's jealous.
[India laughs] He's not jealous.
-[Trevor] I'm not jealous. -[India] I mean, no.
-Look, you get to see baby Tessa. -[Trevor] Yeah.
[India] Come here, dad, you can't--
[DeLeesa speaking]
[Trevor] Yeah, right.
[India] Yeah, and take off your bag.
[Qiyan] I've been in the military for two years already.
And I don't really get that much time
to talk to everybody in the family.
But, I do keep in contact with my mom.
And once I heard my sister finally did have the baby,
I knew that I had to come immediately.
So, I'm here for about a week.
[DeLeesa] Well, this is great.
He can go-- he can go to dinner with you guys.
Yeah, I'm like, I didn't really plan on...
It was only for two people.
Don't you want your son to go with you?
Don't you want your brother-in-law to go with you?
But, I made the reservation for two.
Okay.
-Wow. -I made the reservation for two.
-Wow. -I'm not gonna call and like, change it.
Qiyan will understand.
Like, he could spend time with you and Tessa and the girls.
Okay.
Wow. Boy, he look like he got taller, right?
-Every time. Every time. -Yes, what are you now? Like, 6'7"?
You guys are just getting shorter.
It was good seeing Qiyan, but it kind of bad timing,
because Trevor had this dinner for me.
And I wanna spend time with my son as well,
so everything is just hectic.
But, it seemed really important to Trevor
that it was just me and him tonight.
So, I just told myself, "We can hang out later.
You-- you here for a while."
-What're you wearing? -I don't know.
What color you wanna wear?
Did you know that they wear matching color?
Like, matching outfits.
-I didn't know that. -[India and DeLeesa laugh]
I knew that Trevor and my mom was close.
When I was 11 or 12,
Trevor would come around just to hang out with me and my mom.
But, they ain't never been as close as they are now.
Like, dinner dates?
Matching clothes?
What is going on?
A black top, maybe?
-How's that? -[Trevor] That's fine.
They are really something else now.
I'm surprised she wasn't the one to be, like,
"No, he needs to come."
'Cause she seems to like, love her boys.
[Qiyan] I thought they would include me since it's my first day back.
-Hello. -I have no problem
-spending time with you, so... -[DeLeesa] Thank you.
I know, grandma and daddy is weird.
[Trevor] Leesa's giving me a hard time about this dinner.
But, it's cause I didn't-- I didn't tell her what it's about.
I didn't want any type of added stress.
I don't want mom to go, like, I really don't.
But, after this scare that we just had,
with DeLeesa being so sick after giving birth...
We will see y'all later. Love you.
I know it's time to have this conversation with her
and let her know that it's time that she moves out.
Let's go before we're late.
I'm just afraid that it'll cause me to lose my best friend.
-Cheers. -[chuckles]
-[chuckling] -I had some ideas.
I wanna walk in New York Fashion Week.
You still wanna do the pageant.
I mean...
I gotta say goodbye to my beautiful heinie.
I loved you.
So, today is surgery day.
[doctor] I've discovered a concern.
♪ I could wait for tomorrow ♪
♪ Tomorrow, tomorrow
Bye, bye, door.
-Whoo. -The color is perfect.
Pink, just like our outfits.
♪ I'm blossoming
This door has been green for like, 20 years.
[Catherine] Wow!
[Gabriella] It's one of my best ideas ever.
♪ I could wait for tomorrow, tomorrow♪
♪ Tomorrow, tomorrow
Oh, I can't wait to get in.
[Gabriella] Today, it might be drizzling,
but that won't stop us from our weekly cleanse,
with the best magic out there, a celery bath.
Are we ready?
Mmm-hmm-hmm.
Herbal medicine.
For the body, mind and spirit.
Nice, right?
[Gabriella] Make sure my hair doesn't get celery on it.
[Catherine] Oh, it's all right, it's good for the hair, too.
Hey, that's an idea.
Maybe we should wash our hair in celery.
-[Gabriella] This is so relaxing. -I know.
It's been so stressful, everything.
You know what I think?
Let's plan a trip to New York soon.
Yeah.
Maybe we'll take another trip to the fabric store.
Look at some new fabric.
Because we have to start talking
and working on the pageant.
Since the pageant, I've been thinking a lot about...
being told that maybe I'm not mature enough for the title
and like, maybe I need just a little bit more independence
to grow as a person and learn who I am.
I have an idea what my next step is going to be,
but I'm nervous to talk to my mom about this
because she will freak out.
-So, speaking about New York. -Mmm-hmm.
[Gabriella] I had an idea.
That I wanna talk to you about.
Okay, well, I mean, what is it?
I mean, I love a pageant.
But, I feel like I want more.
Like, I love being on stage,
like, I love the outfits, I love the fashion.
So, I feel like I wanna do, like, runway shows.
So, you're telling me that you...
gonna model?
You rather model than do pageants?
I wanna walk in New York Fashion Week.
But, what about the pageants?
I mean...
[Catherine] You still wanna do the pageant.
-Right? -[Gabriella] Yeah.
[both chuckle]
-[Catherine] That was not so convincing. -It's just--
It's just, we put so much into it,
and it didn't work out, so it's like,
-I'm not gonna just wait around. -It didn't work out this time.
-I'm not just gonna wait around... -[Catherine] This time.
...because then it's like, I'd wait entire another yet
to start this back up again.
Pageant's once a year.
-That's it. -But, it takes a long time
-to prepare for the pageants. -I know.
But modeling, there's jobs, there's opportunities all the time.
It's more, "Go, go, go", where pageants is like,
"Wait."
I love pageantry,
but, I've dreamed of walking in New York Fashion Week for years.
But, what about the legacy and...
I was really gonna crack down big time this year.
[Gabriella] I think it's a vibe, like, I don't know,
I feel like the whole aesthetic, I feel like it screams me.
So, in order to walk in a runway show
in New York Fashion Week,
you have to submit an application.
-Hmm. -And once you get accepted,
then you can go on audition in person.
New York Fashion Week could be an entire week.
Yeah, so, I'll stay there for the week.
Whatever shows I get casted in,
-and I'll go walk in them. -A week?
-Doesn't that sound so fun? -[Catherine] Away from me?
Uh... no.
-I wouldn't-- -It's just New York City, it's right there.
I wouldn't even let you go without me for a day,
nevermind a week.
Are you kidding me?
-When we go to New York-- -I can handle my own.
When we go to New York City,
I have to hold your hand across the street to make sure you're okay.
Did you ever see the traffic in New York City?
Yes, 'cause-- 'cause I'm there all the time.
-I know the traffic. -With me!
I have to take care of her.
I'm your mama, plus, I'm her other half.
You're definitely gonna need your mama there with you,
if you're going to New York City.
I'm gonna be going on modeling auditions
and casting calls.
I mean, the models usually don't bring their moms.
I am not just your mom,
I'm your partner in crime.
I'm going to be auditioning with you.
But, they're for, like, runway shows.
And they have, like, youthful models.
I'm not saying you're not youthful.
But, they don't-- they--
-[Catherine laughing] -They don't have moms modeling
and walking the runway.
-Why not? -It's never been done before.
Is the mom supposed to just sit in the kitchen?
Why can't the mom be out walking too?
[Gabriella] She wants to come on, like auditions with me.
For runway shows.
What mom walks in a runway show?
There's an age requirement, she does not care.
[laughs]
She does not care, she's not intimidated by anything.
You're not gonna be embarrassed if you're the only one in a casting call
that's over the age of 25?
No, I'm not gonna be embarrassed.
Why would I be embarrassed?
-I'm with my beautiful daughter. -[Gabriella] All right.
-Why? -[Gabriella] All right, it's just--
it's just never been done before.
Well, that's why we're doing it.
All right.
-[chuckling] -So, I can do runway modeling?
Well, of course, me too.
-Okay. -But, we're not giving up pageants.
I'm gonna add that into the mix. [chuckles]
-Of course. -[Catherine laughs]
[Catherine] I just want to make sure that you're still gonna be...
taking the pageant seriously
and putting your heart into it.
-Yeah. -And, you know,
we are pageant girls.
-Correct. -[Catherine] Regal, like our crowns.
-Correct. -[Catherine] Yeah.
That definitely doesn't help my independence. [chuckles]
'Cause she's still coming with me, but...
I'm honestly all about the memories,
so, if she wants to come with me,
I'm totally down for her to be there.
Does that make me independent? No, not at all.
Not even a little bit.
[chuckles] Oh, yeah.
Forgot about that one.
-New York City. -[Gabriella] Whoo!

[Brittani] So, today is surgery day.
It's going to be the two of us, my mom and I.
And I'm getting the butt lift.
With all the surgeries we've done,
we've been by each other's side the whole time.
I had my eyes done when you had your tummy tuck done.
[on video call] Oh my goodness, it's beautiful.
And we can't forget, the fat transfer.
- I had-- remember, the fat transfer? -[Brittani] Oh, yeah.
From my hips to my face.
-Oh, yeah. -And you were there for that.
Okay.
-Here's the dressing room, sweetheart. -Okay.
Ever since I lost weight, I've wanted the Brazilian Butt Lift.
I wanted to have that hourglass figure.
And I can't wait for TJ to finally have the opportunity
to smack my big peach ass. [slaps]
[chuckles]
-Are you sore? -Come closer, I don't bite.
-I know I hiss at you. -Oh, it's nice and warm.
I know.
-It's called my blubber. -[knock at door]
-Come in. -[doctor] Hi, good afternoon.
-How are you? -Hi, good afternoon.
-How are you? -Good, my name is Seng.
Um, just need to go over some questions
and some details about your health.
-[Brittani] Okay. -Um...
With anesthesia, it's my job to comb over the details
on the day of the surgery to see if there's anything
that's gonna prevent her from having a safe anesthetic.
-[Brittani] That's fine. -And sometimes, things happen
on the day of surgery where we discover things.
-[Brittani] Mmm-hmm. -[Seng] So, today is one of those days,
where I've discovered a concern for your safety.
Okay.
[Dr. Seng] So, the clearing doctor that you had
has described you as having severe systemic disease.
So, because of that, my hands are tied.
From a legal and safety perspective,
I should not be giving you an anesthetic.
-So, I can't have surgery. -[Dr. Seng] Not today.
Can you explain this disease that she has?
-I would-- What exactly is it? -[Dr. Seng] So...
I know she has disease of the adrenal glands, 'cause she--
[Dr. Seng] There was a couple things I added up.
Because there is hypertension,
there was mild asthma in addition to these problems with your adrenal functioning.
[Mary] Mmm-hmm.
[Dr. Seng] We can deal with blood pressures,
-we can deal with asthma... -[Mary] Mmm.
[Dr. Seng] ...but when you put 'em together
and you add something else,
it's not appropriate or safe.
Oh, wow, all that...
Well, Brittani was born with, uh, CAH,
congenital adrenal hyperplasia,
um, where the adrenal glands don't work.
They don't function correctly.
But I was extremely shocked,
because Brittani has had surgeries before,
and this has never come up.
Wow, I can't believe we waited this long to find out.
I, it's my job to go through a more detailed assessment.
So, when I did that today, that's when I discovered it.
-That's why it wasn't discovered earlier. -Okay.
[Dr. Seng] Because the nurses are doing their job with their checklist.
But anesthesia, we do a little bit more.
Um, whatever future arrangements we can make,
then we'll do that, so.
-Thank you so much. -[Dr. Seng] Okay. All right. I'll be back.
Thank you.
-[crying softly] -It's okay, honey.
[Mary] Better safe that sorry going under and, you know,
finding, you know, God forbid.
Right?
He's not gonna put your health or your safety in jeopardy.
Okay?
[Brittani sniffles] Mmm.
I honestly was speechless with the whole situation.
Thank God my mom was there.
With my mom being right by my side,
it makes me feel better
because she's like my guardian angel.
[sighs wearily]
-Everything happens for a reason, my love. -[Brittani sniffles]
But at the same time, I feel kind of guilty
for keeping a big secret from her for so long.
It's honestly eating me alive not telling her this.
So, I think it's time for me to tell my mom that we're engaged.
-[sighs] -Let's go, sweetheart.
-Hey, oh, my God. -[Aquila] Hi.

What you think?
Ever since my birthday party,
my mom has been getting on my nerves.
She got up on stage and tried to take over.
That's exactly what I told her not to do.
So, that's why I really wanna go to Mississippi.
I love talking to my sisters
about what I'm going through with Mom,
because they understand how difficult she can be sometimes.
I left, um, something up in here.

-I do. -This is where you came from.
So, I feel like I've,

When I was, like, 18 years old,
they used to call me "Ghetto superstar."
They said I was a superstar living in the hood.
It was just true. That's, that was facts.
I started background dancing when I was, like, 18, professionally.
And my mom took care of my kids.
And that's the price that I paid.
But I knew I had to leave Mississippi
and pursue my career,
if I wanted to make anything of myself
and provide a better life for my children.
So, yeah.
[sighs]
That's a hard question.
'Cause I don't wanna say that I left them,
which I know I did leave them.
I just...
[sighs]
I didn't purposely leave them.
I hated them living in the hood.
I didn't want that for them.
I got tired of them living like that.
[sniffles]
The area that they lived in, it was just,
-it was a bunch of crime and violence. -[phone beeps]
And I hated that, Sky.
I hated for them to live in that type of area.
Once I had saved up enough money from performing,
I went back to get all of my kids.
However, they'd gotten so attached to my mom,
they didn't wanna live with me.
Oh, this is cute.
Look, Sky.
-[Skylar] Yeah, it's super pretty. -[Sky] Pretty.
[Sky] At that time, my two older girls were teens.
But Sky was about six, seven years old.
So, my mum said,
"I'll just keep them and you can keep Skylar."
That's why me and Skylar's bond is unbreakable.
I wasn't there for my kids, so.
I'm, I'm never gonna leave Skylar,
ever in my life.

[Aquila] Oh, my goodness. [laughs]
Oh, little Naiomii, I'm sorry I didn't see your little self.
[Skylar] So cute.
[Aquila laughs]
[Naiomii speaking]
I have funny jokes.
-[Sky laughing] -[Naiomii speaking]
[Sky] No twerking? Who you talking to?
I'm a grown ass woman.
-[Skylar] Ooh. -I'm a Scorpio
-and I can say whatever I want. -[Skylar] She told you, Mom.
Do I look like a baby to you?
-[all laughing] -[Sky] Oh, she know she didn't.
[Skylar] She said you act childish.
[Sky] Uh-huh.
What you gonna eat?
[Naiomii] I wanna eat chicken wings.
[Skylar] You hear this lady Deonna?
Sky look less and less like you everyday.
Uh, excuse me?
What did you just say?
[Deonna] Starting to become herself is what I'm saying.
Oh, hell, no, she don't.
-She look exactly like me. -[Skylar laughs]
I mean, identical.
[Deonna] Sky can't have nothing to herself, huh?
Not even her looks.
Sky loves herself so much,
that she has to clone herself with Sky junior.
If, if she could, I think she would've made Sky herself.
Like went up in there and then mix some concoctions.
She went up in there,
-"Yeah. Yeah. -[laughs]
Yeah, put little bit more of that [bleep] right there."
[both laugh]
[Sky] Y'all go ahead.
Let me take this call right quick.
-Hello? -[Deonna] These kebabs are some work.
-[Skylar] Yes. -[Deonna chuckles]
[Skylar] 'Cause you gotta put each one on individually.
[Deonna] So, do you ever feel like she wanna be you?
Sometimes I feel like Mama can be jealous sometimes,
'cause she's not young anymore.
-And like... -Mmm-hmm.
...I'm doing what she wanted to do and stuff.
Skylar's always been glued to Mom.
But a few months ago,
she started reaching out to us.
She's never really had a voice for herself.
[Aquila] I feel like my mama, um,
is pushing Sky into that world.
[Skylar] What do you think I should do?
Me personally I would say,
start somehow grounding yourself
in the midst of Mama, you know,
just completely own you and stuck up your ass. [chuckles]
You gonna have to try to find out how to remain yourself
before you can actually get out of there.
That's sad to say, but it's true.
I do want my mom to kinda back off a little bit.
I feel like she wants to mold me into a replica of her to do what she wanted to do.
Don't burn it too, too much now.
[Skylar] And my family realize that too.
They can see that, that I feel that way.
But I just don't know how to talk to my mom about that.
Because she will definitely go off.
And, you know, I don't want to have
to deal with the consequences of that.
Ooh!
It's hot.
-So I am the one who is bringing stress to your life? -Yes.
I'm not.
I can't even talk to you right now because I'm so frustrated.
Because you're going to start to cry.
-Exactly, yeah. -Yeah.
I'm just, I'm over this.
I'll get my [bleep] out as soon as possible.
At this point, I'm not sure if my mom
and I can come back from this.
♪ Nothing else came before us ♪
♪ Just being with you is enough ♪
[Penny] As a mom, I want good things for you,
and I want you to be happy, as long as she loves you.
And if you love her, and you love her, right?
I do.
So it's been about a week since things blew up
between me, Sunnie, and Eva.
Long story short, it's hard for me
to really voice my opinion properly.
By the time I voice my opinion,
I'm so irritated that I look like a giant ass.
-But I'm not meaning to be. It's been building up. -You know...
[laughs] No, Mom.
Mom.
When I heard that Eva threw a drink at Scott's face,
I thought it was terrible. [laughs]
Are you sure you want to be with this girl?
Or the girl's mother? I mean, are you sure?
Mama's here, baby.
If you change your mind, it's okay.
No.
All I care about is that you love her,
and she's sweet and honest, and I know how you are.
-So she's lucky, in my opinion. -Thanks, Mama.
[Scott] The next day, after I had calmed down
a little bit, I reached out and apologized
for my part, and she apologized to me.
I do want to move in with Sunnie.
I love Sunnie very much.
And if one good thing came out of this whole mess,
it's that I learned Sunnie can put boundaries on Eva.
♪ Let's just go back to When it was easy ♪
♪ All that, all that Let's just go back to ♪
♪ When it was easy
[Sunnie] We literally have 47 freaking deodorants
in this thing and no nail glue.
[Scott] So maybe we should be worried about why
we have so many deodorants.
[Sunnie] I'm super excited that Scott and I
are finally living together.
And honestly, I'm just really thankful
that Scott forgave me.
[Scott] I just needed some time.
I needed to be left alone, because it was...
it was a lot to take in.
[Sunnie] I should have handled it differently.
Everything just happened so fast.
Any time you get a drink thrown on you,
it's always a sticky situation.
I was so excited to move into this place.
And, like, honestly, I just want to be happy.
That's all I want. Like, I just want good vibes.
But it's like... [sighs]
I don't know, like, I don't know how much longer
I can do this with my mom.
Like, something's gotta give. We gotta figure something out.
Unfortunately, my mom has definitely not been able
to let go of me moving in with Scott
and us not being married.
And we're supposed to go over there.
She's outside and wants to come get our stuff.
[Scott] Are you going over there right now?
-[Sunnie] Yes! -No, dude.
[Sunnie] I mean, you can either come help me or let me [bleep]
keep sinking in this [bleep].
The only time either of us talk with my mom
is when we have to move things out of my old apartment.
[Scott] She seems disgusted with us.
-That's basically... -That's because she is.
-That's what I'm getting from her. -It's...
So this is, I assume, going to take you a year to go through it.
No, it's not going to take me a year.
-But it is going to take me some time. -You are delusional.
Okay. Yeah, well, so are you.
No matter what I say, you're not gonna be happy.
No matter what I say, there's no point.
Your world is a chaos.
This has been a daily thing.
I need you to move this stuff, I need you to move this stuff.
And it's like, it's not like we're not moving it, you know?
We're doing the best we can.
But I don't really think that's what the fight's about.
Sunnie and her mom broke up.
Sunnie is devastated.
And Eva is acting like the scorned ex-boyfriend.
So, here I am, laid less, still.
Extremely unlaid.
I get it. We do have to go through this stuff.
We do have to do this, right?
But we're trying to do this in a stress-free situation
where we're not acting like we are right now.
Why do you guys always say stress?
This is your stuff.
What is the stress coming from?
Because of how you act.
[Eva] Oh, really?
-So I am the one who is bringing stress to your life? -[Sunnie] Yes.
I'm not... I can't even talk to you right now because I'm so frustrated.
-Because you're going to start to cry. -Exactly, yeah.
Yeah.
Since that dinner, it's been hard.
I was really disappointed and very shocked
and surprised.
With Scott, I feel like he's winning her,
and I am kind of like, losing her.
It hurt me deeply because we are so close,
and she start changing.
What am I not understanding?
I need time to go through my things.
-It's the same, the same you. -Yeah, it's really the same me.
-You upgrade a little bit, but... -Upgraded a little bit?
I don't like a clutter. I don't like a mess.
You are different.
You don't think about, oh, how much [bleep]
we've had to overcome to get to this point to have these two places.
-I do. -No.
-Look-- -I wake up early. I work my ass off.
And I didn't upgrade a little bit.
So maybe acknowledge for two [bleep] seconds...
that this is not a little upgrade.
Talk louder and faster.
Yes, because I have to express the way that I feel,
and I've been holding it in for so long,
and you just keep saying the same [bleep] over
-and over and over again. -Oh, my God. Seriously.
My ears are hurting.
-Okay. -You are sitting, like, a foot from me.
Are you listening to what she's saying, though?
[Eva] I am listening.
-Yes. -[Scott] Like, I understand she's upset
and she's yelling, but are you hearing what she's saying?
-[Sunnie] No, she's not, because... -[Eva] Yeah, I'm deaf.
I'm just, I'm over this.
I'll get my [bleep] out as soon as possible.
[Eva] Okay, great.
[Sunnie] My mom is literally the other half of me,
but I also don't really understand why she can't see...
that this is causing me pain and distress.
Right now, I just don't know where
our relationship is going.
It's terrifying me.
You can throw it all away since you literally don't care.
Yeah, okay.
She's asked me time and time again,
you know, when's mom leaving.
But I think it's time for you to find a place.
When I'm asked to come down here,
I lost everything to freaking come down here.
-Where you going? -I'm out.
♪ You know I gotta... Keep coming back for more ♪
♪ I gotta keep coming back For more, yeah ♪

-Thank you. -You're welcome.
-This is so nice. Yes. -Right?
I've never been here before.
-This is awesome. -No, me either.
-Thank you for taking me. -You're welcome.
Yes.

I just wanted some time, just with you.
It's been a crazy few weeks in the house
with Tessa being born, Delisa being in the hospital,
and mom really stepping up to help me out.
So I want to do something really nice for her.
I'm thirsty.
Yeah, I'm dry.
[grunts, laughs]
-Hello, how y'all doing today? -Hey, how are you?
You got to help yourselves whenever you're ready, okay?
-All right, thank you. -Thank you.
-You're welcome. -That's all I needed to know.
Look what we got here.
Yes, please. Can I have just the creamy grits?
-You getting grits? -I'm getting grits.
I'm gonna try them.
-Mmm, that is sweet. -You gonna start with your grits?
-That's really good. -They really good.
I told you.
I told you you were gonna like it.
I do want to thank mom for everything that she's done.
She's been unbelievable helping me while Delisa's been in the hospital.
But there's another reason why I'm asking her to dinner tonight,
and that is to tell her that she needs to find her own place.
Look, Ma, in all seriousness...
I just wanted to thank you
for all your help the last month.
With everything going on, with Delisa, the girls,
the baby, you know, like, it was a lot on me,
and you really stepped up.
And helped me out, because I needed it.
Thank you.
-No, thank you. -Thank you.
Seriously.
So I also asked you to come here
because I think it was time we talked.
With everything going on with Lisa and, you know, her health.
Well, her health is just like my health.
-And that's what happened before, too... -Right.
because it's actually hereditary.
I'm not, like, I'm not a doctor.
Like, I don't know the whole science
behind, like, what causes preeclampsia.
So I'm just like, all right, well, you know,
like, I'm worried about her being anxious.
I'm worried about her being stressed.
Like, the kids are stressful. She's not sleeping.
And I'm just, my thing is, like...
what's gonna be, like, best for Delisa and her health moving forward.
And, you know, she's asked me time
and time again, you know, when's mom leaving?
-Here we go. -When's mom leaving?
I knew it was coming.
Yeah, and I've, like... constantly pushed it off or,
like, not said anything or been like,
"Yeah, I'll talk to her."
You know, like, kick the can down the road a little bit longer.
Um, but I think, like...
It's time for me to find a place.
I'm pissed. I'm pissed.
Because Trevor invited me to come down here.
I gave up everything to come down here.
My apartment, my job, my furniture.
I mean, even my friends.
I have no friends down here in Atlanta.
I gave everything to come down here.
So you're going to take me out to eat?
You didn't have to take me out to eat.
That's like feeding a pig
and then slaughtering it afterwards and then eating it.
To this day, to this conversation right now,
I don't want you to have to go.
You know, but, like, I'm petrified.
Like, I'm really scared that something's gonna happen to my wife.
When I'm asked to come down here,
I lost everything to freaking come down here!
I know. I know. I know. I know.
-Relax. -You know what?
-I get it. -What?
-Where you going? -I'm out.
-Where are you going? -I'm out.
Where she going?
That's so [bleep] embarrassing.
I was hopeful that we could at least have the conversation
and walk away from it, in some type of good space.
Like, I can't even stress enough how disappointed I am in her.
[line ringing]
We are on our way to New York to audition
for a runway show for New York Fashion Week.
-I'm Katherine. -Nice to meet you.
Hi, nice to meet you.
-[Eva] Oh, Scott. -Hello.
I feel like my heart is broken, and I cannot fix it.
I need you guys to be okay, all right?
That would be great.
It's very important to me, and that's not even the reason why I came by.
So Skylar, what's your next big event coming up?
I worked on a few music videos.
I directed it.
Oh, baby.
-Oh, my goodness. -You didn't tell me you were pole dancing.
-That's not pole dancing. -What is this?
The problem is, I don't want them
to get into her ear and tell her that,
she don't need this.
This is not good for her.
[woman] Thanks for coming to my funeral.
[woman 1] Mom, stop saying that. It's your birthday.
She gets mad that I say it's my funeral.
The thing I'm looking forward most for this party
is to hear Cristina's eulogy about me.
-Get him, baby. -Oh.
[Cristina] This eulogy is stressing me out.
Will I be able to get through it? I don't know.
[sniffles]
