Pedro, can you help me set up for the party a little bit?
This should be Pedro and I celebrating our new home
but he is not invested.
We're still not in a good place.
You need to be more grateful.
Ooh. You guys are giving me indigestion.
Winter, what's been going on with you and Mmesoma?
Things are, like, a little bit rocky right now.
He asked me if I could help him get a new phone.
No. Winter, you are a queen.
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. 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.
What you got there?
So, I already have seaweed chips. I love them.
They're the best. Seaweed 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 about Pedro,
she's going to hold onto it.
Just like my mum, just like my brother,
just like my dad.
This is strictly about her, her life,
her new beginnings and her relationships.
I want to be there for Winter.
You need to get vitamins.
Have you been getting your B-12 shots?
I know you haven't
because you're not good at keeping up with health.
No. I'm not good at getting shots.
I hate them.
Oh, my gosh.
I don't want too. I'm scared.
Winter, you have to get the shots
because you don't want to let this get away from you.
You're going to be tired all the time.
I'm already tired.
You, you only have 25 percent of a stomach left.
I know.
But just thinking about a shot, like honestly, it just...
You have to get your B-12 shots.
Well, if you say so. You're going to go with me?
I'll give it to you at home. I have them.
I'm just so thankful that I have such a loving and caring family.
Everyone has been so supportive during this process.
Chantel, she's really been pushing
for me to get my injections.
I don't personally want to do it.
You can put them in your arms.
Some people put them in their butt, you know, the fatty tissue.
But I have been trying to take oral supplements
but I know that the best way for me at this time
to get the B-12 in my body is to have an injection.
But I'm a little freaked out by that.
I do have your shots that you left at my house
from the last time you came over.
And you told me you were going to let me give you the shots
that the doctor gave you.
And then when you got there you said no.
You chickened out.
Maybe when you come over the next time, I don't know,
I can give you the shots.
Winter's afraid of everything, especially sharp things:
bees, bee stings, wasps, needles, any and everything.
You know, remember when you were afraid of getting a shot?
She was afraid of getting a shot.
But we're talking about Winter. I know we are.
She was so strong, though, when she was little.
It took three, took four people to hold her down.
It's only been like a month so I know I can't eat this now.
But I'm just trying to prepare
because I'm moving over into, like, the second month.
I can eat like actual food.
Uh-huh. You know you have to eat your protein.
And that's so hard to get protein in.
Uh-huh. You might need to try protein shakes.
We 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's perfect. Some chicken broth.
Oh, no. Wait a minute. You don't like chicken broth?
I'm so sick of broth.
I don't think you understand, like...
They got vegetable.
You can get both.
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. Wow.
So how's dating going? Dating is fun.
I went out on this date with my friend and Chris.
OK. Mmesoma, now Chris.
I think it's great.
So I'm no longer interested in dating Mmesoma.
After asking me for financial help,
it made me very uncomfortable and I ended things.
So I'm ready to step out there
and let everyone know that I'm here.
Baby, it's my time.
It's like it makes it so much easier to talk to guys
when you're thinking like, "OK, I look (BLEEP) hot.
"What's up with you?"
I think you should try to date as many guys as you can
and just have fun with it.
Don't get serious with them,
not until you know that they are marriage material.
How do you know when they're marriage material?
Well, there's a couple things you got to look for.
One, do they have a uniform?
OK.
That way, you know they have a job.
OK. Uniform, check. Yes.
I think I should write this down.
And it's all about, like, throw looks out of the window.
Looks? Looks, I don't care.
It all depends on how he treats you.
At the end of the day, looks are worth nothing.
But I do need to be attracted to my guy...
They're useless. ..to my partner.
I definitely feel like
you have to be attracted to the person in some way.
You 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.
But I'm saying... OK.
..don't let your relationship, like,
whether or not you date him or not
weigh so heavily on looks.
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 looks don't pay the bills,
looks don't show you affection.
Like, there's so many more important things than looks.
And, yes, I do have a good-looking guy
but I didn't date him, like, just because he was good-looking.
I truly thought that I had someone
who I was compatible with 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 is...
I feel low. I feel so low.
Have you backed it up for a real one?
Have you busted down?
Have you, oh,
bow-chicka-wow-wow, chicka-wow-wow.
Oh. Have you...
Just a little bit. OK, OK.
Let me 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 it.
But my plan at this moment is I want to have sex with someone
that I'm in love with.
Bow-chicka-wow-wow.
OK.
Didn't your mama ever teach you?
Yeah, my mama, she taught... Oh.
Oh, yeah, Grandma. Move it.
Didn't Grandmama teach you?
Yeah, in the kitchen.
Grandmama taught you.
Yeah, she did.
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.
Oh. Oh.
Oh, my gosh.
(VOMITS)
2 00:14:19.440 -- 00:14:20.640 align:middle line:90% position:50% Hey, Pedro.
Yeah.
I mean, yeah.
I've been working but my car broke down.
The antifreeze is leaking.
One of my clients, actually.
Yes.
Yeah, I would love to.
Yep.
Yeah, freezing.
I feel like it would've been faster
if we went through the West End...
OK. Oh. ..instead of, you know...
Whoa, whoa, whoa. This is not...
This is too much back roads for me.
We need to have a race and figure it out.
Yesterday, I came to the Dominican Republic
in order to see Nicole,
but unfortunately, she was angry.
She didn't let me explain myself.
But it was the first day and I'm not going to give up.
I'm trying to meet up with Coraima today
because I'm trying to see
if she thinks that I have an opportunity
or a chance to win Nicole back.
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.
Coraima revealed to me
certain things that I wasn't aware of.
Maybe, I think, Nicole was hiding them from me.
I want her to be better at communicating.
And I'm going 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.
Coraima is willing to help me,
at least to talk to Nicole about our encounter.
And I think it will work because I'm very positive and optimistic
but I will have to do the rest.
2 00:22:55.520 -- 00:22:59.000 align:middle line:65% position:50% 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 shit.
Wow.
How was work?
All of the chores and all of the cooking and...
What cooking? ..all of the cleaning.
Nothing there today because now I'm tired.
Wow.
I'm tired of doing everything by myself.
Nothing.
If you want.
I work 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 going to do?
Mmm. I'm going to get a little space.
You can do your thing.
You go take your shower.
Leave your shoes on the floor. Leave your drawers on the floor.
I'm just going to get some space.
No.
Since when did you stop respecting me?
Hey, hey. You treat me like I'm stupid.
Yeah?
You treat me like I'm annoying.
Then why are you even with me?
I've been cleaning and cooking for you, catering...
Excuse me. ..to you.
It doesn't matter how long I've been doing it.
You need to show me some appreciation.
Yeah? And my head can do that.
Yeah. Yeah, do that. Do that. It doesn't matter.
Because I'm sick and tired of your ass.
You're acting just like... What?
..the people who you say that you're different from.
I should've paid a lot more attention to where you came from.
OK, yeah. Because you're just like them.
And you want so hard not to be like your father?
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.
Oh, apparently. You don't love me.
You know, you... You don't.
You know... You know... You don't, you don't.
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?
That is something unusual and highly suspect.
And, no. Hey. Hey. Hey.
That is something unusual and highly suspect.
What about coming home at three 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.
No, I don't even want to get into the lies that you've told me.
The lies.
The lies that you've told me.
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...
You can't even turn on the light for me in the morning.
Move. I know...
I'm not taking this.
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 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? What's up?
Do you have any girl in here? Uh, shoot.
You just missed her.
Everything OK?
Everything's good. Everything's... For real?
..fine.
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 like me doing that.
Nobody likes to be asked questions about anything.
But I was just, you know, hoping that was not the case.
You sound a little tense.
I am a little tense.
That's why I came over here.
Well, we don't do tense in this household.
So we going to have to loosen up with some drinks.
Do you want to drink the hard stuff
or you want to drink some of the silly stuff? What you want?
I'll drink some of the silly stuff.
Cool. Yeah.
I like the silly stuff. Silly stuff tastes good.
Dang. You done about finished my bottle.
Maybe I... Just pour...give me that one.
Nope. No.
No. It's fine. It's fine.
River, you got some good hospitality.
Mmm.
I'm glad that I came over here.
I'm glad I could catch you. Yeah.
I just needed to relax a little bit with my little brother.
Chantel, I know you
and I know that know that it's something drastic going on
that you're not trying to tell me.
And, I mean, I want to know what's going on, man.
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 panty in a twist answer,
"Oh, I came over here for some peace."
(MUMBLES)
You got to talk.
You got to talk or drink
and you're not drinking so you're going to talk.
Well, Pedro wants me to clean the house and I don't want to, so...
(LAUGHS) That's stupid.
What?
Was it the way he asked?
Is it a communication thing, like...
Yeah, I think it's communication.
But I don't want to clean up so I left.
Can I sleep here?
Yeah, man, you can sleep here. Yeah.
Yeah, because I'm tired.
I don't even really want to talk anymore 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, OK,
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.
2 00:34:22.840 -- 00:34:24.520 align:middle line:90% position:50% Hello. Hello.
Oh, wow.
I've only been practicing Naihanchi 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.
And, yes, it does. And it helps me stay centred.
It most certainly does.
Chia.
(DOOR KNOCK) Woo.
What's going on? Hi. Hi.
Ma, what are you wearing?
Well, you know, this is my workout.
You wear it while what?
This is my Naihanchi Shodan kimono.
I get over there.
My mum is doing some mixed martial arts.
Chia!
Taekwondo, jiu-jitsu. I don't know what she's doing.
What does Thomas think about all of this?
Oh, he likes it. He thinks it's cool.
He doesn't mind.
In fact, he's going to help me open a dojo.
Ah, that's what's up? Yeah.
I hope one day, maybe 10 years from now, I can be a sensei.
Alright.
Because eventually I'll be competing.
Competing for what? Yee-oh.
Naihanchi Shodan.
Naihanchi Shodan?
Naihanchi Shodan. Naihanchi Shodan.
Yeah.
It's hard to find...it's hard to find a dojo right now
because we're in the middle of a pandemic.
Most of the dojos that I've gone to - they're closed. Yeah.
So this is a good time for me to go around
and see who is selling a dojo.
I can go ahead and acquire it and then I can have a dojo.
And once I get some belts under my belt,
which...I don't have any belts yet.
I'm not belt-tested. OK.
I am really concerned about what happened last night
because Chantel comes over.
She seemed really exhausted, honestly,
and I felt bad because she seemed like she's been having some,
you know, long days.
Some rough days, you know.
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.
She came over to my place last night, randomly.
She didn't really...yeah,
she doesn't really come over like that.
Just showed up out of the blue. 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 want to clean.
I know that's right.
I wish a man would come in my house and tell me,
"I want you to clean up."
What? You clean up.
Because nine times out of 10 it was he that made the mess,
if there is one to be made.
It sounds like there's more problems to it. Yeah.
Well, I'll talk with her.
I know Chantel's not a dirty person.
Oh, no. She's very neat.
That's why I know there'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 thought things were getting better for them.
But it seems like - outside looking in -
I thought things were getting better
but that housewarming seems like things are getting worse
and then Chantel leaving her humble abode.
We just need to know what the problem is.
Yeah. I'm going to go stop by Pedro's place
just to see what's going on.
I'll ask him about it.
Pedro and I...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 only changes how things are handled.
That's why I want to 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 am. I'm going with you.
Mama, no. I promise you...
Mama, 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 got to follow my lead on this
because there's a certain way we got to go about this.
Alright? Let me go get all my stuff.
These - I'll put these on right now.
You don't need that stuff. I'll put these on right now.
Mama, you don't...what the hell? Mama.
Mama, you put on Dad's work gloves...
No, these are my punching gloves, if I need to.
You don't need to be punching nobody.
I'm not going to 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 going to get to the bottom of this
if it's the last thing that I do.
A relationship is like a flower.
You have to water a flower, give some sun.
It's hard work.
You know, it can be done.
Hey. Hey. What's up?
So I'm going on a date today with my friend Chris.
I think it needs to come up higher.
OK.
The energy with Chris is intense.
What if I fall, though?
Chantel, she came over last night, man.
All the women do not just commit themselves
to housecleaning and cooking.
You stuck in the Dark Ages.
My parents do have reason
to be concerned.
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?
