May the best woman win.
[Andi] Hello is everything okay?
It's Gary. He has a passport, it has a different name on it.
Take a picture of the passport.
Send it to me.
And why are you here?
I want a DNA test.
What?
You heard what I said.
Zac, we've already confirmed that Aaron is not the daddy
so that only leaves you.
Technically, it doesn't.
You never got my DNA so we finally wanna know
what the truth is.
-The truth? -Mm-hmm
You think I'm lying to you?
Wait, and who is we?
How am I supposed to know that I'm that kid's father?
-Okay. -[Zac] Just 'cause
you ruled out Aaron doesn't mean that that's my child.
So now you calling me a slut?
I'm not calling you any names
but I did hear how you got down in college.
Oh, ok. You know what, Zac?
Kiss my ass.
Karen listen. No, no, no.
No. This has Fatima written all over it.
-What? -Here I was thinking
that you came here to congratulate me
on my grand opening, but no.
You're hoe ass came here to accuse me of sleeping around?
You're putting words in my mouth.
No, I'm not putting words in your mouth,
she's putting words in your mouth.
She's the reason you standing right here
calling me a liar and a slut!
No, I'm standing here because I need to know
that if I'm really this child's father,
then I'm gonna be the one taking care of it.
No.
No, what?
No.
I don't even want you in our child's life anymore.
You can go.
Karen, I'm just asking you for a DNA test. That's it.
I said you can go.
[Zac] Karen I want to be in my child's life.
If it's my child.
I said you can go.
[Trey] Hey, hey are you good?
[Karen] I'm fine.
Look, I don't want no problems, bruh.

But he keeps send me messages about wanting to meet me, so...

Hmm. Picture's cute. You know how that goes.
Cute picture not so cute --.
I told him I charge for in-person meet ups.
He supposed to be here by now.
Said he was gonna have on a gray shirt.
Let me know if you see an Adonis in a gray shirt.
Well, I haven't seen an Adonis, oh my God.
Bitch you had a stroke?
I thought white people didn't have pressure problems.
Is that a gray shirt?
[Maurice] Oh yes, that's a Grayson in a gray shirt.
And I believe my basement is flooded.
That's fifty shades of Grayson.
If you need help, I got a paint brush.
We can make that ass whatever shade we want.
No Picasso bitch, no, no, no.
We know what kinda painting you do.
Hey!
He's coming over.
Grayson in a gray shirt.
Hi, how are you?
Ah.
Please excuse the white people. Listen...
How are you?
I'm just fine.
Thought you weren't gonna come.
Of course I would. I wanted to meet you.
Hmm, why?
You think I'm some kind of a meal ticket?
You definitely a meal.
Mm-hmm, are you trying to finesse me?
What do you really want?
I wanna get to know you.
I like your personality and your sparkle
on your Fixation page.
Uh-huh. You wanna know what else sparkles?
Dimes and nickels and quarters and shit.
[Grayson laughing]
I agreed to pay you and I absolutely will.
I just wanna get through this first date though.
Date?
Yeah. Pretty little thing like you,
who wouldn't wanna date you?
What are you drinking?
Sex on the beach, please.
Bartender!
I am right here.
Um, sex on the beach, please.
-Sure. -[Grayson] Two of them.
So, Mr. Grayson, tell me about yourself.
Well, um, I've been in Atlanta for about eight months now.
I'm a day trader.
I just got out of a serious relationship
about eight months ago.
Now, did you dump him or did he dump you?
Neither. Uh, he died.
Cancer. I took care of him until the very end.
Wow, that's beautiful.
I mean, not that he died,
but that you loved somebody that much.
Have you ever loved anybody that much?
Oh, Grayson, that's a fifth date question.
Okay, well I look forward to that fifth date.
Yeah, we'll see.
[Lisa] What's going on here?
Nothing. Nothing.
Come on Zac. I told you not to be here.
All right, I'm leaving.
You sure you straight?
Yeah, I could maybe use a bottle of water if you don't mind.
-I got you. -Thanks.
[Trey] I'll be back.
Now. Look, Karen, you know, I don't like to be
in people's business.
Really, Pam?
But I'm just saying that you're tripping.
If Zac wanna be in his baby's life, let him.
I don't wanna talk to you about this.
No, you have this salon to think about.
Now. I like Trey. Lord knows I do.
However, those deliveries ain't finna cover
this ridiculous rent.
I do not want Trey. I don't even know that man.
But you will.
I see how y'all looking at each other.
-[Trey] Here you go. -[Karen] Thank you.
I'm gonna get something to eat before it's all gone.
Okay.
Me too. I could use a little munchie.
Karen, baby, are you okay?
Mama, you talk to Zac? When?
I saw him earlier in the parking lot,
and I told him it wasn't a good idea for him to be here.
Well. Obviously he didn't listen.
[Lisa] Y'all rarely do.
Y'all?
Oh come on baby. Stop stressing. Do you want to sit down?
No, mama, I don't wanna sit down.
I just wanna--
[glass clanking]
What's she doing?
[Danni] Can I get everyone's attention?
I just wanna toast to my girl Karen.
Girl, you done been through it. You have.
Salon burning down. Now, you got this new one.
It's good.
Pregnant.
All this baby daddy drama.
I just want y'all to know something.
Auntie Danni gonna be here for you.
I got my own stuff going on. I'm in therapy now.
Danni, Danni. Stop. Thank you so much for that.
Let me grab this for you, Danni. Let go. Thank you.
You drinking my glass today, now, girl.
I wanna thank y'all for coming to celebrate fresh start.
Thank you to our new clients and all of our regulars.
I am so grateful for y'all and I just,
I hope that you
can enjoy the rest of the event, okay?
[applauding]
Thank you.
Hey, babe.
What's up?
You went to the gym today?
I had to go blow off some steam.
That can't be good.
Yeah, it went left.
What happened?
First, she said that it had to be mine
because it's not Aaron's.
That's because she wants it to be yours.
And then when I brought up the possibility of another dude,
she went crazy.
Crazy how? I know she didn't put her hands on you.
[Zac] No, she wouldn't do that.
Zac, I don't put nothing past that girl.
I mean, she did feel like I was calling her a slut.
Look, if she would just get the test,
we wouldn't have to go through this,
unless she knows it's another dude's baby.
I mean, there was some other dude there
acting like her man.
Who?
I don't know the dude. He had on a delivery uniform
came up on me like he wanna rescue her.
You know, I ain't had time for it, so...
Okay. Well I know one thing. She's not getting a dime
until she proves that baby's yours and that's it.
Okay. I don't care. I just wanna deal with Michael
and I'll deal with her later.
Yeah. Um, how about that? I was thinking babe, um,
babe, Michael's gonna need some therapy
after all the trauma he's been through.
Yeah.
So, um, I looked up some schools and some therapists.
-What? -[Zac] I love you.
-Just love you. -I love you too.
Like, I don't know how I'd do all of this
without you by my side. I love you, yo.
I love you too.
Look, we in this together. So...
These look like some good ones.
You know, I would marry you tomorrow if you would have me,
but since you won't let me, you could at least
practice for the honeymoon.
Really? Right now?
I mean, gotta little testosterone up
if you're trying to see what that's about.
-Okay -Okay. Yeah, I figured that.
I figured that.
[laughing]
Ah, don't need to see that.
[Jordan] Good morning, beautiful.
Good morning.
[Jordan] How you doing?
I am doing better now that I hear your voice.
[Jordan] I'm glad to hear it.
Hey, I don't have any campaign meetings tonight,
so I called to see if you'd lie to go out for dinner.
Hmm. Let me think about it. Of course, I would love to.
[Jordan] Great. I'll pick you up at 7:30.
Oh, okay. I gotta go baby. Bye.
Let me guess. That was Jordan?
It was.
He wants to take me to dinner tonight.
Aw, look at you. This smile on your face.
Andi, I love how happy he makes you. You deserve this.
Do I?
I mean, I have to be honest.
It does feel good to be with someone I can trust,
and who actually cares about me?
Girl, tell me about it. Okay?
So what's up?
What's what?
Why are you here?
Mm-hmm.
Okay. Um, I hate doing this.
You know, I hate asking about Karen, but--
Yeah. Are you going to ask me about how Zac showed up
to the grand opening and caused a scene?
Is that what you're gonna tell me about?
What was up with that?
She said that he caused a scene?
Okay. To be fair, it was Danni who told me the story.
Mmh. Of course
She said that Zac showed up
and was gonna get his ass whooped by a guy.
Well, well to be fair, she was drinking and smoking.
So it could have been one of those scenes
from the reality shows she watches. I don't know.
Okay. Zac did not cause a scene.
He simply just went to ask Karen for a DNA test. That's it.
Fatima. I don't think that was the appropriate time
or the place for that.
Well, maybe not, but Andi, we need to know.
Okay. I'm gonna give it to you straight.
This hearing is hanging in the balance. Okay?
I can't have Zac in some street fight with a stranger.
It doesn't look good.
Andi, he wasn't fighting.
Look, some delivery guy came up and tried to take up for Karen.
That's it.
A delivery guy?
Look, I don't know, but can somebody at least talk to her?
Uh-uh. Nope. I am not touching that with a ten foot pole.
Okay. I have things to worry about.
One, the custody of the child that we know is Zac's,
FBI Investigation, and making partner.
Yeah. Making partner. Um, speaking of that,
Andi, I, I don't know what it is,
but I think Hayden's up to something
Like what?
Ain't no telling with his ass,
but I did see him coming outta Jones' office with some files.
[music]
There's absolutely no merit
in the plaintiffs motion for reconsideration.
Okay. Yeah. Erroneous plaintiff's interpretation.
[music]
[Woman] Today we had the chance to witness
City Councilman candidate Jordan Williams in action.
We're at the Southeast Community Rec Center
where he coached The Crowns,
a female young adult basketball team to victory.
The next victory he claims could be city councilman
with many high ranking officials calling him--
--!
Son of a bitch!
Whoa. Everything okay?
No, this mother-- is trying to take what's mine
Oh, the city councilman dude.
[Gary] Yeah, that mother--.
Hudson. What's going on with the story, man?
I need that to leak ASAP. ASAP Hudson.
Okay. My guy is still working on it.
His police connect is a little shaky.
I need this shit to happen.
I'll go call him now.
No, no, no. That's not good enough. Let's go see him.
Now?
Right now. Let's go.
How about we start with your dating life?
[Danni] Mm-Hmm.
You mentioned something about choosing the wrong men.
Tell me about that.
Yeah, um, there was this guy named Preston.
Um, he was this country, white guy
that I didn't think I'd end up liking as much.
Um, you know, he was just from a small town racist family.
I'm from Detroit, been living here since college.
You know, I don't know, just really different.
So you two, you kept finding yourselves back together?
Yeah. It's just that one time
while he was doing whatever,
I hooked up with this guy named Jonah
who was like a, a serious asshole.
And why is Jonah an asshole?
He put his hands on me.
So I ran him over.
I'm sorry you ran him over?
Yeah. Yeah. I had to run him over in my car.
Is he uh--
He survived? Unfortunately.
I just, I just don't know why I couldn't see that darkness
in him before it happened.
Yeah.
You know, some people are good at hiding the real them.
Everything he told me.
I don't know.
Just like every other man I've ever been with.
Have you had any other abusive relationships?
Can you share your first one?
I, uh, I dated a guy in college named Rusty.
Uh, he was a star athlete
and I really thought I was the shit 'cause I was with him,
but he, uh, was always criticizing me the way I looked.
My hair, weight, makeup, everything.
And he pulled me into the locker room
and as he was choking me and punching me,
he was calling me a slut.
Okay.
I know.
[sniffling]
I almost forgot about that.
-- you, Cretia.
You did good.
[music]
Hey, baby.
♪ Tell me you're a straight shooter ♪
I see you. You're in a good mood.
-Uh-huh. -Hell yeah. Come on here.
What's going on?
I got something to show you.
Look at this.
So these are the plans for my new location.
I just got the green light to break ground.
Okay. That is so cool.
[Rich] Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Your man is doing big things. Okay. Um, so this right here
is, um, what we gonna have, I'm thinking about having some,
I don't know, some kind of yoga type thing. I don't know.
You know, we want a holistic stuff, but whatever,
we'll figure that out.
Over here. This might be another location,
you know, open mic stuff.
And if everything goes according to plan by the end of the year,
we'll have two more locations. So what you think?
I think it's amazing. I'm happy for you.
-[Rich] Yes! - [Sabrina] Mm-hmm.
Yeah, I have a few plans of my own, actually.
-Word? -Mm-Hmm?
Well, I mean, you see, your man is doing big things.
So if you need some help on your first steps
in entrepreneurship, I got you.
Well, it's nothing to do with business?
I've decided I'm gonna freeze my eggs.
Wow.
You know what? That's a good idea.
You should do that.
Really? You think so?
Absolutely. You know, um, if you and I don't work out,
you should absolutely have the option to have kids.
I mean, if that's what you want. I'm sorry this is our busy time.
I'm gonna get back to these customers.
Thanks for coming by.
Welcome.
All right.
[music]
Hey mama Lisa, you came to get some more roots to riches?
I came here to see my daughter. Where is she?
She's on the couch.
Okay, thanks.
And don't forget to tell your friends
about roots to riches.
It works on seniors too.
That's right. You, your mama and your auntie.
Hey mama.
Hey baby. How you feeling?
You look a little tired. Have you eaten?
I'm fine. It's just, you know, lot to organize.
Sure is. Oh, here's your check.
Thank you, mama. I mean, I hate to ask you for this,
but loan payment is a lot.
Not a problem.
But what are your plans moving forward?
The shop will pick up, getting new clients every day.
What if it doesn't pick up?
Well, I have to just figure it out.
But if you were just straight with Zac
and gave him the proof that he's asking for,
you wouldn't really need to ask me for help.
I'm tired of being questioned and accused to the point
where I don't even want Zac in our child's life anymore.
Honey, look, I know you still love Zac,
but don't cut your nose off to spite your face.
Come on baby. Take the test.
I'll think about it and thank you mama.
You know I love you, right?
I know. I know.
I'd walk you out, but...
[Lisa] No, stay seated.
I'll see you later. -Okay.
[Trey] Go ahead. Absolutely.
Hey.
Hey Trey, you can set them right here.
[Trey] All right.
Hey, how you doing?
Hey.
I know you had your little situation at the opening.
Yeah. I'm so sorry about that craziness.
So that's your baby's daddy, huh?
[Karen] Yeah. Unfortunately.
Sounds like he really wants to be in his child's life.
And how would you know?
[Trey] I don't mean to overstep,
but uh, I know if it was my baby,
I'd have that same energy.
But on another note, delivering to your shop
is my last stop before I head out to lunch,
and I was wondering if you wanted to grab something to eat.
Uh, I haven't eaten yet, so I mean why not?
Yeah.
I'll, um, grab my purse. -Yeah.
-Okay. Thank You. -[Trey] No problem.
[Penelope] Hey, baby, I brought you--
I know his ass is hiding something.
[music]
Warrant? Gary, what the hell did you do?
Hey baby.
What the hell are you doing?
I came to surprise you with lunch.
Hud, give us a minute.
Why were you going through my drawer?
Can you believe they didn't give me any plastic ware,
so I was just checking-- -Hey.
No.
Where you been?
Why are you so interested in my business?
I am not. Babe, I'm just, I'm just trying to feed my man.
I'm not hungry. I'll eat later. I have a lot of work to do.
Well, okay then I will get out of your hair
and let you get back to work.
See you at home?
-Mm-Hmm. -Yeah? Okay.
[music]
Yo, Hud come back in, man.
Everything good?
Yeah. Just my irritating ass fiancé.
You want a little something to take the edge off?
No, but I may need you to beat me with it later.
I got something I need to take care of.
Hudson, this guy better come through with this story.
All right. The girl's been paid.
I need this shit to work.
Are you sure you want to do this?
Just get this shit done.
I got you.
And, throw this shit out, man.
[music]
I blocked it all out.
I, it's like I didn't even realize
it was still in there.
[Sabrina] Oh my God. I wondered why you never talked about it.
He's here. He's here.
Sorry for being late.
Uh, meeting ran over. How'd your session go?
-Fine. -Just fine?
-Yeah. -Okay. Well, um,
do you still have time to grab a bite to eat in food court?
I mean that's what I came to tell you. I'm not hungry.
Okay. Um, Danni, is everything okay?
Yeah, everything's good.
It's just that, pretty sure there's a big flight
that's about to come in, so I should get back out there.
Okay.
All right. I'll see you later.
Well, will I see you tonight?
I don't know. Yeah, maybe.
[music]
Okay. Okay.
[music]
-Hey girl. -[Andi] Hey.
I just saw your man on TV.
Oh did you?
Mm-Hmm. They were asking about a scandal
of one of his opponents, Craig Bassett
said he was sleeping with his secretary.
Wait. Don't they all?
I mean, yeah, but this girl started at the age of 16
as one of his interns
and they've been sleeping together for years.
Well, I hope he did a good job of denouncing that behavior.
He did. He did.
Um, but Andy, I really hope he's clean.
'cause you know, once they start unveiling one candidate's trash,
they do it to all of them.
I don't think Jordan has anything to worry about.
Okay. Cool.
You ladies, uh, enjoy the rest of your day, okay?
This mother--, I swear.
[Paige] Excuse me, Sabrina,
I was going over the Abbott account you worked on
and the numbers seem off.
I'm sorry, Paige, why are you looking over an account
that I handle?
Well, Mr. Abbott called while you were at lunch.
He had some questions about his dividends
over the past six months.
And while I was checking, I noticed that the numbers
for his IRA were off.
Off how Paige?
Like the adjustment is off by half a million.
You're reading it wrong.
The adjustment is in column G.
An earning of a half a million dollars.
Oh. I guess I was reading it wrong.
I apologize. I apologize.
Thanks. From now on, just let me handle my own accounts. Okay?
Matter of fact, I probably have to call back Mr. Abbott.
[Paige] Okay.
[phone vibrating]
Hey.
Hey, Maurice.
[Maurice] Eww, what's wrong with you?
Nothing. I just had to check Paige's ass
for going over one of the accounts I handle.
[Maurice] Oh, that bitch is trying to set you up.
You think so?
[Maurice] Hell yeah. See, if I had my job back there,
I would've handled that bitch for you.
It's cool. I got her together.
[Maurice] Watch her. Don't let
that Little House on the Prairie bitch
mess up your chances at becoming branch manager.
I miss you Maurice. You're crazy.
[Maurice] I'm serious. But anyway, I need to see you.
I need to see you too. I have some news for you.
[Maurice] Now wait a minute bitch.
I'm the one with the news. When we meeting up?
Uh, well the girls are planning
something for my birthday at Andi's.
So maybe tomorrow afternoon
[Maurice] Works for me.
Okay.
[Maurice] I got a little something for you too.
And listen, go ahead and get that little Pinky and the Brain
bitch Paige out of there So you can hire me back.
I'll talk to you later. Bye
[phone ringing]
Now. You can't stop talking.
[Hayden] Come on Gary. You know, we boys, bro.
I just got a little crazy with that whole FBI situation.
What do you need?
I was just checking in with you.
I'm good.
So, uh, I saw your girl talking to Fatima in the break room.
They were talking about that guy Jordan,
and how they're hoping he doesn't have any dirt
in his past, like that other candidate.
Oh, it's about to get dirty.
[Hayden] What you mean?
Don't worry about it. I'm taking care of it.
What? You gonna create some dirt?
[Gary] I said I'm handling it.
You sure about this Gary?
You don't want this Andi situation to go too far.
I gotta go.
-Hey. -Hey.
I am about to get out of here. Um, aren't you supposed
to be getting ready for dinner with Jordan?
Yeah, I'm gonna leave in a few, still have some work to do.
I'm gonna ask him about the Bassett scandal.
I think that's a good idea.
Look, Andi, just keep an eye out for red flags. All right?
I love how happy he makes you.
But remember Gary made you just as happy at one point.
I hear you. And I'll be careful, mom.
Thank you.
All right, I'm gonna go ahead and get outta here.
I gotta wrap my mind around this case tomorrow.
-Thank you so much. -That's no problem.
All right. You have a good night.
-Oh, I will. -All right.
-Bye. -Bye.
[knocking]
Come in.
Hey, you headed home?
Yeah. Uh, I just wanted to talk to you real fast.
Okay. What's, uh, what's going on?
Nothing. I just, earlier, I know I was kind of weird.
It's just that, um, stuff came up in therapy.
It was buried in my memory that, um, I didn't,
I mean, it's there, but I just didn't realize it was there.
It's okay. I knew that something was happening.
Do you wanna talk about it?
Not right now.
Okay. I understand.
Well, whenever you're ready to talk, I'm ready to listen.
I appreciate it.
So you wanna go grab dinner?
Um, no. No. I'm not hungry.
Okay, cool.
How about I come over tonight.
I just need to head home. I can grab a few things.
I don't think tonight is the best night
for me to have any company, so--
Okay. Look, Danni, I knew that therapy
wouldn't be easy for you.
It's not easy for anybody.
And I think it's helpful and I'm proud of you
for making this big step.
But I'm asking you, please don't shut me out.
I'm not shutting you out.
It's just a lot of stuff that I have to face. And, uh--
[Tony] Well, look, let me face it with you.
I just wanna be your shoulder to lean on. That's it.
Cretia said that my defense mechanism is to shut people out.
And, um, I'll try not to.
Okay. Well, I'm here for you and I won't let you shut me out.
Okay. I'll go home now.
You can come over.
All right. Gimme a half hour. I'll be right over.
Hey.
-What's up? -You good?
[Zac] Mm-Hmm.
What's all this?
Nothing. Just going over some of this paperwork for tomorrow.
You know, the last one went good.
I just don't want to take no chances.
Mm-Hmm. Babe. Andi said to stop stressing.
All right? We're in a good place.
Look at me. We are in a good, look at me, good place. Okay?
It's gonna be okay.
I know, I know. I just missed a lot of time with Michael
and I don't wanna miss no more.
Plus I want both my kids in my life.
Yeah. Well, we're still waiting to find out
if one of those seeds is yours, so...
Really? Like right now?
Like you gotta bring that up right now?
-Sorry. Wrong moment? -Yeah.
-You hungry? -Yeah.
[Fatima] Okay good. Um, dinner's almost ready.
-How about you do that? -Yeah. Got it.
Okay. Talking about don't stress then stressing me out.
You're lucky you're thick.
I heard about the Bassett scandal.
It's pretty sickening.
Yeah. It is. Yeah. I was, I was shocked when I heard about it.
He talks about being such a family man.
Yeah. But I guess that's politicians, right?
Not all of us are liars.
I will admit. I'm not perfect.
No, You're not perfect?
I know, I know. But I haven't done anything as heinous
or that I'd be ashamed of.
Hmm. That's good to know.
Baby.
So with Bassett out,
that means you're one step closer to being councilman.
