[chantel] pedro, can you help me set up for the party a little bit?
This should be pedro and I, celebrating our new home.
[chantel] but he is not invested.
We're still you need to be more grateful.
[karen] ohh, you guys are giving me indigestion.
[nicole in spanish]
[chantel] winter, what's been going on with you and masoma?
[winter] things are a little bit rocky, right now.
He asked me if I could help him get a new phone.
-No! [cel] you are a !
[upbeat music playing]
[chantel] it's been a few weeks since getting back from mexico.
As a nurse, I have firsthand experience
with patients who have had the gastric sleeve surgery,
who have had trouble with not taking their supplements
and not getting enough nutrients.
Hey, winter!
[winter] hey, chantel.
Hey, how are you?
So, I want to stay on top of winter,
to make sure that these things don't happen to her,
because she's my sister. She has her own, personal nurse, right here.
[chantel] what you got there?
So, I already have seaweed chips.
Ov.They're the best. -Seawe chips. Mmm.
Pedro and I were arguing at the housewarming party,
so winter knows that things are tense between pedro and I.
But I don't want to talk about what's going on between pedro and I with her,
because when I tell her something negative
just like my mom, just like my brother, she's just like my dad.O it.
This is strictly about her, her lifeher new beginnings,
and her relationships. I want to be there for winte
it's only been like, a month, thiso I know I can't eater, her lifehethis now.Innings,
'cause I'm moving over I .. Ing pinto... Like, the second month,
I can eat, like actual food.
Mmm-hmm. You know you have to eat your protein.
And it's so hard, to get protein in.
Mmm-hmm. You might need to try protein shakes.
-Yeah. -You don't want your hair to start falling out.
We need to shop for a few vitamins and a few things that she can eat.
-Here, it's perfect. Some chicken broth. -[groans]
-[winter] no, wait a minute. -[chantel] you don't like chicken broth?
[winter] I'm so sick of broth.
-I don't think you understand like... -We got vegetable.
You can get both.
[clicks tongue] get that broth out my face.
Like, jeez, I'm sick of it.
Especially chicken broth, I'm tired of it.
Going this long without eating solid foods, I'm so over it.
Mmm, broth.
So, how's dating going?
Um, dating is fun.
I went out on this date with this guy named chris.
Okay, masoma, now, chris.
I think it's great.
So, I'm no longer interested in dating masoma.
After asking me for financial help, it kind of made me very uncomfortable.
And I ended things.
[winter] so, I'm ready to step out there, let everyone know that I am here
baby, it's my time.
[winter] it's like, it makes it so much easier to talk to guys
when you're thinking, li ka, I look freakin' hot."
"what's up with you?"
I [chantel] and just have fune as many with it.Can.
Don't get serious with them.
Not until you know that they are marriage material.
[exclaiming]
how do you know when the marriage material?
[chantel] well, there's a couple things you got to look for.
Dey have a uniform?
Okay.
That way, you know they have a job.
Okay, uniform, check.
-[chantel] yeah, and... -I think I should write this down.
And it's all about, like... Throw looks out of theindow.
-Looks? -Looks, I don't care.
It all depends on how he treats you.
At the end of the day, looks are worth nothing.
-They're... -But I do wanna be attraed to my guy,
-they're useless. -Or my partner.
I definitely feel like you have to be attracted to the person in some way.
Y'know, like, you can't. You can't, like, find someone repulsive
and then date them.
Like, no, why would you do that?
No, I'm not saying to go out and look for the ugliest man you can find,
-[laughing] okay. -But I'm saying,
don't let your relationship, like, whether or not you date him or not
weigh so heavily on looks.
[chantel] the most important thing is compatibility
and how he treats you.
I learned that a long time ago, way before I was dating pedro,
that lks don't pay the bills.
[chantel] looks don't show you affection.
Like, there's so many more important things than looks.
[chantel] and yes, I do have a good looking guy, but
I didn't date him, like,
just because he was good looking.
I [chantel] and was good looking. Right now, I don't know what I've got.
And to think that I feel that way with my husband
it's, it... I feel low. I feel so low.
Have you backed it up for a real one?
Have you busted down?
Like you, bow chicka wow wow, chicka wow wow?
-Oh, my... [chuckles softly] -have you...
[winter] just a little bit. Okay, okay. Maybe just, just a little bit of that.
My cookies have been locked away for seven years.
And I'm only ready to share my cookies with the people who deserve
my [winter] but my plancked at this moment is,s.
I want to have sex with someone that bow chicka wow ow.
Okay. [chuckles softly]
didn't your mama ever teach you?
[winter] yeah, my mama, she taught... Oh.
-Come on, move it. [chantel] let me tou[cckles] -oh, yeah.
Grandmama taught you.
[winter] yeah, she did.
[both laugh]
[in spanish]
[maria in spanish]
[intense music playing]
[alejandro speaking spanish]
[alejandro speaking english] I have no idea why she's so angry. I don't know.
I mean, I knew that she was not going
to demonstrate her happiness whatsoever.
But I didn't expect, like, that reaction that she had.
[alejandro speaking spanish]
oh. Oh. [laughing]
[alejandro]
[nicole speaking english]
[nicole in spanish]
oh, my gosh. [sniffles]
oh, my gosh.
[nicole in spanish]
[retches]
[nicole retches]
[sniffles]
[coraima in spanish]
[pedro]
um, one of my clients, actually.
[pedro]
[antonella] yeah, it's freezing.
-This is not... -This is too much back road for me.
[pedro]
[pedro mumbling in spanish]
-I understand... -Hey, pedro.
[pedro]
[antonella] yeah.
I mean, yeah, I've been working
but my car broke down.
[antonella] the antifreeze is leaking.
Um, one of my clients, actually.
[antonella] yes.
[both laugh]
[in spanish]
[pedro]
[antonella] yeah, I would love to.
[pedro]
[antonella] yep.
[pedro]
[antonella] yeah, it's freezing.
[pedro]
I feel like it would have been faster if we went directly.
-Why you... Okay. Oh, whoa, whoa. -Just so you know.
-Whoa, whoa, this is not... -This is too much back roads for me.
We need to have a race and figure it out.
[pedro]
[alejandro] yesterday, I came to the dominican republic
in order to see nicole.
[alejandro] but unfortunately, she was angry.
She didn't let me explain myself.
But it was the first thing I ain't going to give up.
[alejandro] I'm trying to meet up with coraima today
because I'm trying to see if she thinks that
I have an opportunity or chance to win nicole back.
[coraima in spanish]
[alejandro in spanish]
when I reached out to her,
in social media, I think coraima was kind of surprised.
Nicole mentioned a couple of times that coraima said
a couple of bad things about me.
But at the same time, she responded to me nicely.
And she agreed to talk to me and meet up with me.
[alejandro in spanish]
[coraima in spanish]
coraima revealed to me certain things that I wasn't aware of.
Maybe I think nicole was hiding that from me.
I want her to be better at communicating.
And I want to tell her that I think I have to work on my trust,
towards her, because of the long distance relationship that we have.
I think that would be the biggest issue.
[alejandro] coraima is willing to help me at least to talk to nicole about our encounter.
And I think it is... It will work,
because I'm very positive and optimistic, but I will have to do the rest.
[alejandro in spanish]
[chantel] how about coming home with other woman's name strapped to your keys?
Like some woman taped her name to your keys.
And I don't know how your car got back here in the morning!
-You don't love me. -You know, you...
-You don't! You don't! -You know?
-You don't! Just say it!
Pedro has been working a lot of nights lately,
and they seem to be getting more frequent
and later and later.
And when I ask him about it, he says it's none of my business.
Well, if he would just give me a direct answer,
I wouldn't be worrying so much.
But he's rude,
inconsiderate,
and he's living like he's single.
Our communication is [bleep].
[door closes]
wow.
How was work?
All of the chores, and all of the cooking
-and all of the cleaning. -What cooking?
Nothing there today because now I'm tired.
Wow.
I'm tired of doing everything by myself.
[pedro]
nothing.
If you want.
[chantel] I worked three days in a row.
12 hour shifts in the hospital.
On my fourth day, I rest the entire day.
If pedro sees me sleep, he'll start to nag me
and call me lazy.
Pedro acts like he's the only one who works
and that no one works as hard as he does.
I've been bending over backwards
trying to cook, clean, and make sure the house is in order,
and it has no change in the way pedro treats me.
It makes me feel, like, hopeless.
It makes me feel so bad,
like I can't do anything right.
And what are you gonna do?
Hmm. I'm gonna get a little space.
You can, um, do your thing.
You go take your shower.
Leave your shoes on the floor.
Leave your drawers on the floor.
I'm just gonna get some space.
[pedro]
[chantel] no.
-Since when did you stop respecting me? -Hey, hey.
You treat me like I'm stupid.
[chantel] you treat me like I'm annoying.
Then why are you even with me?
[chantel] I've been cleaning and cooking for you.
-Catering to you. -Excuse me?
-It doesn't matter how long I've been doing it. -[pedro] it doesn't...
[chantel] you need to show me some appreciation.
-Yeah. -And my head can do that.
-Yeah, do that. -It doesn't matter because I'm sick and tired of your ass.
[pedro]
-you're acting just like... -What?
...The people who you say that you're different from.
I should have paid a lot more attention to where you came from...
-Okay, yeah. -...Because you're just like them.
-And you want so hard not to be like your father. -[pedro] you... Huh?
You're just like him.
It seems like pedro is starting to follow
in the same footsteps of his father.
He's treating me poorly,
just like his father treated his wife and his mistress.
He's disrespecting women.
That's what his father was all about,
disrespecting women.
And at this point,
disrespecting me, I'm a woman,
that's what you're doing right now.
-Pedro. -What?
I'm convinced that there is nothing that I can do to change your mind about me.
You don't like me.
I'm repulsive to you.
-Apparently, you don't love me. -You know, you...
-You don't! You don't! -You know?
-You don't! Just say it!
-You know? -Just say it!
-You know? -Just say you don't like me and you don't love me.
-You know? When? -What?
You don't tell me that you do love me!
Why don't you tell me how you really feel?
How about coming home with other woman's name strapped to your keys,
like you taped it there.
Like, some woman taped her name to your keys.
[pedro]
-that is something unusual and highly suspect. -Hey, hey.
-Hey. -That is something unusual and highly suspect.
What about coming home at 3:00 in the morning without your car?
And I don't know how you got here!
-And I don't know how your car got back here in the morning! -I got drunk.
[chantel] no, I don't even wanna get into the lies that you've told me.
-Don't call me... I don't... -[chantel] the lies!
[chantel] the lies that you've told me.
-[pedro] I was drunk. -[chantel] you go to get your nails done
-with your co-workers... -Yeah.
...And you can't even take a 30-minute walk with me.
-I don't want... -You can't even turn on
the light for me in the morning.
-Move. -I know.
Hmm.
[chantel] I'm not taking this.
[in spanish]
there's something drastic going on that you're not trying to tell me.
Don't give me this vague, petty, twist answer.
Everything's good.
-Everything's fine. -For real?
I know there's something else going on,
and I need to know about it because, hello? You here.
I can't believe that I have a husband
who can be so mean.
I never thought that I'd ever be in a relationship with anybody,
let alone my husband,
where I'm disrespected
that much.
I just don't want to lose my marriage.
I love pedro.
Even though he's not treating me like he loves me.
And I can't tell that he loves me now. I really can't.
Pedro is not treating me like [bleep] because of cooking and cleaning.
He is treating me like [bleep] because he's...
...He doesn't love me anymore. I don't know.
And he's intentionally trying to hurt me.
And that's why I had to leave.
I didn't leave the house with a clear intention of where to go,
but as I'm driving around aimlessly,
I decided that I would just go to river's.
It's the best option I have.
I can count on river.
-Hey, river. -What's up?
-Do you have any girl in here?
Oh, shoot. You just missed her.
Everything okay?
Everything's good.
-Everything's fine. -For real?
My immediate thought when I see chantel at my doorstep
is pedro kicked her out.
I don't know anything about chantel's situation with pedro.
I don't ask no more questions.
Chantel don't likee doing that.
Nobody likes being asked questions about anything.
But I was just... You know, I was hoping that was not the case.
You sound a little tense.
I am a little tense.
-Yeah. -That's why I came over here.
Well, we don't do tense in this household,
so we're gonna have to loosen up with some drinks.
Do you wanna drink the, uh, the hard stuff,
or do you wanna drink some of the silly stuff? Which one?
I'll drink some of the silly stuff.
-Cool. -Yeah.
I like the silly stuff. The silly stuff tastes good.
[roger exhales] man, you done might have finished my bottle. You, you gotta...
Well, just pour it. Give me that one...
-No, no. -...Since I drove.
-No. It's fine, it's fine. -I'm gonna drive.
River, you got some good hospitality.
Mmm.
I'm glad that I came over here.
-I'm glad I could catch you... -Yeah.
...Because I just needed to relax a little bit with my little brother.
Chantel, I know you.
And I know that your last resort is to talk to me about some bull [bleep].
So I know there is something drastic going on
that you're not trying to tell me.
And I mean, I wanna know what's going on. I mean...
I just came over here to get away,
to find some kind of peace.
I just need a rest.
Don't give me this vague petty twist answer,
"oh, I came over here for some peace and..." [muttering]
you gotta talk.
You gotta talk or drink.
And you're not drinking, so you're gonna talk.
Well, pedro wants me to clean the house
-and I don't want to, so... -[laughing] that's perfect.
What!
Was it the way he asked?
Is it a communication thing? Like...
Yeah, I think it's communication,
but I don't wanna clean up, so I left.
Can I sleep here?
Yeah, I mean, you can sleep here, yeah.
[chantel] yeah, 'cause I'm tired.
I don't even really wanna talk any more or drink.
I think I'll sleep right there.
This really makes me sad, to see my sister have to leave her own home.
It's made me really sad right now.
I'm, like, okay,
she feels comfortable enough to come over here,
but not comfortable enough to tell me what's going on.
I know there's something else going on.
There is another issue going on.
And I need to know about it because, hello? You here.
-Hello. -Hello.
Oh, wow.
[in spanish]
um...
[nicole]
-[river] something's going on with chantel. -[karen] chantel.
[river] yeah, I don't know what's going on with her.
She came over, uh, to my place last night.
Yeah, I'm gonna go stop by pedro's.
-I will go with you. -No!
Oh, yes I... I am. I'm going with you.
I'm going to get to the bottom of this if it's the last thing I do.
[exhales deeply]
I've only been practicing naihanci shodan for about a month,
and I'm not really good at it yet.
I still have a long ways to go.
It helps me to relax.
It helps your chi and your energy.
Um, yes it does, and it helps me stay centered.
It most certainly does.
Kiai!
[knocking at door]
[exhales]
-[river] what's going on? -[karen] hi. Hi.
Mom, what are you wearing?
-Well, you know, this is my workout outfit. -What are you wearing? What?
-Are you a three-year-old? -This is my naihanci shodan kimono.
I get over there.
My mom is doing some mixed martial arts.
Kiai!
Taekwondo, jujitsu.
I don't know what she's doing.
What does thomas think about all this?
[karen] oh, he likes it. He thinks it's cool.
He doesn't mind.
In fact, he's gonna help me open a dojo.
-Oh, that's awesome. -Yeah, I hope one day,
maybe 10 years from now, I can be a sensei.
[river] all right.
I am really concerned about what happened last night
because chantel comes over,
uh, she seemed really exhausted, honestly.
And I felt bad for prying because she seems like she's been having some,
you know, long days, some rough days, you know?
Uh, and I'm hoping that, you know,
talking to mama bear, she can bring me some answers,
or just maybe have some clarity on the situation.
You know, maybe this is just something that happens
between married people sometimes. I don't know.
Well, I believe that you need to have a conversation with your daughter.
-Something's going on with chantel -chantel.
I don't know what's going on with her.
But she came over, uh, to my place last night,
and I was just... Randomly.
She didn't really... Yeah.
She doesn't really come over like that.
Just showed up out of the blue.
[river] she showed up out of the blue,
and I'm, like, I knew something was bothering her,
but she was being very vague.
What did she say?
Pedro wanted her to clean, and she didn't wanna clean.
-Oh, no, that's right. -So, yeah.
I wish a man would come in my house and tell me,
"I want you to clean up."
what? You clean up,
'cause nine times out of ten, it was he that made the mess
if there is one to be made.
It sounds like he has more problems to it.
Yeah, well, I'll talk with him.
[river] but I know chantel's not a dirty person.
-Oh, no, she is very neat. -That's why I know it's some more problems going on.
-Right. Right. -Yeah, she came over and then...
...She asked to spend the night.
I don't know. It seems like pedro and chantel took steps backwards
because, I don't know, I thought things were getting better for them.
But it seems like... Like, outside looking in,
I thought things were getting better,
but then at the housewarming,
seems like things are getting worse.
And then chantel leaving her humble abode.
[karen] we just need to know what the problem is.
[river] yeah, I'm gonna go stop by pedro's place just to see what's going on.
I'll ask him about it.
Pedro and I, we're, uh,
I would say we're good pals now.
But it's always family first, you know.
I will say the friendship or the bond that pedro and I have right now,
it, it only changes how things are handled.
That's why I wanna go over there and actually hear what he has to say
and see what is going on,
and not just think, oh, the worst.
-I will go with you. -No!
Oh, yes, I... I am. I'm going with you.
-Momma, no. -I promise you.
[river] momma, no, listen.
Sometimes... See, you do a little too much sometimes.
Sometimes I feel like you need to just chill out.
If you are going to come,
-you gotta follow my lead on this. -[chuckles] oh.
'cause there's a certain way we gotta go about this.
-All right. -Let me go get all my stuff.
These. Put these on right now.
-You don't need that stuff. -Put these on right now.
Momma, you don't... What the hell? Mama.
Mom, you put on dad's work gloves.
No. These are my punching gloves if I need to.
-I... You know... -We don't need to be punching nobody.
[karen] I'm not gonna hurt anybody.
Something's going on over there,
so I need to get to the bottom of this.
I'm going to handle everything with love.
-I'm going to show love... -That's what I'm saying.
...Even to my enemies.
But I'm gonna get to the bottom of this
if it's the last thing that I do.
[alejandro in spanish]
[in english] our relationship is like a flower.
[nicole in spanish]
you have to water the flower,
give some sun.
It's hard work.
You know, it can be done.
[in spanish]
[nicole]
-hey. -Hey, what's up?
So, I'm going on a date today with my friend, chris.
[chris]
[winter] I think it needs to come up higher.
[chris]
[winter chuckles]
the energy of chris is intense.
What if I fall, though?
[chris]
chantel, she, she came over last night, man.
All the women do not just commit themselves to house cleaning and cooking.
You stuck in the dark ages.
My parents do have reason to be concerned.
[chantel] whose sparkly bottle is this, pedro?
Whose is this? It's not [bleep] mine!
But I don't want them to know that.
You got your visa, money, job,
and you're ready to fly the coop?
