Tell Zac I'm taking very good care of his goal.
[Fatima] Previously on Sistas...
That mother-- has something over your head.
And I'm not gonna stop until I find out what that is.
What the -- you know about the truth?
Guilty dog barks first.
What kind of country-bama shit is that?
I guess Karen was looking out for me.
Maybe it's time you look out for her
by breaking her off a piece of Roots to Riches.
If anybody is giving Sabrina Hollins their sperm,
it's gonna be me and not this clown!
I'm so confused, Rich. What are you doing here?
Yeah, that's a good question because it's not your chance
anymore, all right? You lost.
I'm was just talkin' to my woman.
-I'm not talkin' to you. -But I'm talking to you!
She's in this situation with me, okay?
Get your ass out of here!
Hey, calm down, please. Damany is only here to help.
Oh, no. No, he ain't.
I know what he up to. I'm on to your shit, boy.
You don't know nothin', all right?
I'm sorry. I'm sorry.
-You're embarrassing me. -Yes.
Now, I don't know what this is,
but we have a procedure to conduct.
Look, I can't let you go through with this.
I don't know, Rich. It doesn't make any sense.
'Cause you told me this, you were adamant about it, too,
from the beginning of our relationship, so...
I don't have time to explain this in front of everybody,
but just know, I'm ready.
You're ready? Is that how it works?
You really think that you can just give me your sperm?
You can't get it back, so you have to be sure.
I'm sure.
Look, you know what? I'll do it right now.
-Forget it. -Oh, my G--
Oh, my God.
-You gonna keep your pants on. -Keep your pants on!
Did you not hear her?
There's no way a new donor can be vetted in time.
Because it takes very long to vet your sperm
to see if it's even compatible with my egg.
I'm sure my fish swim just fine.
Enough!
It sounds like you all have a lot to discuss.
Now I suggest discussing your relationship separate from
discussions about being a donor. We can reschedule the procedure.
But things have to happen within the next week,
so we have to move fast.
And we'll keep Damany's sperm on standby in case something
were not to work out with your new donor.
Thank you, Dr. Moore. Thank you.
[whispers] I'll call you later.
It's okay.
-[Sabrina] Thank you. -[Damany] Yep.
I'll meet you at my house
because we have some things to discuss.
I have to get dressed and apologize to Damany.
You don't owe that fool nothin'.
He showed up for me. How can you hate on that?

Marie--
Time's up. Tell me what you got.
Am I gonna keep my empire or have you -- my money up?
We are working on it.
In regards to the lead about, um,
your husband having an affair with the assistant,
I think we might have to go in a different direction.
-So there's no evidence? -Not yet, no.
I came to this firm because of its reputation.
-Clearly, I was mistaken. -Mrs. Willis, I--
Will you not call me that?
Marie, if you just give me, us a--
Andi, so nice of you to join us.
The pleasure is mine, Hayden.
Ms. Marie, you will keep your money and your empire.
I can guarantee it.
It is all in that file.
You can keep all your money without paying a dime,
-guaranteed. -Ooh, checkmate!
That dirty little dog.
May I?
Oh, please.
Now, Mr. Willis was cheating,
but we were barking up the wrong tree.
Roger had his assistant handle all the fixation transactions
to cover up the spending.
I had suspicions, but I mean, I didn't assume.
-How did you get these? -Oh, I have sources.
You know.
-We got him. -We got him.
I knew I made the right choice hiring you.
-Excellent work, Ms. Barnes. -Thank you. Thank you.
So what's next?
Oh, I will have my paralegal draw up some paperwork.
We will then send it to Mr. Willis,
which with that information I'm sure he will settle for nothing.
I don't think he wants his business out in the streets.
I like your style.
-May we have the room? -Please.
[door closes]
I knew you were a superstar the first time I laid eyes on you.
I must thank Jordan for this.
Hey, you guys are gonna be a power couple.
The White House is gonna have to watch out.
Okay.
What's the matter? You gotta tell me what's wrong.
Nothing. Life is just...
It's been really hard, lately.
I'm no fool, Andi. You and I are a lot alike.
We are beautiful, powerful, successful women who don't
let anything or anyone get in the way of our success.
And I know it takes a lot more than life being a little hard
to bring us down.
That is until a man comes in the picture.
So tell me what happened.
Ms. Marie, I would be extremely unprofessional
if I roped you into my personal life.
I roped you into mine, so spill the tea.
That's different.
Look, you just helped me save everything that I have worked
my entire life for. Let me return the favor.
It's Gary.
He's forcing me to marry him.
And he's even set up Jordan, so that if I don't,
he'll ruin his reputation and...
It'll put both of our lives in danger.
And I can't let that happen, so I have to marry him.
It's that bad?
Bad enough that I can't say no.
Okay. Okay. You don't worry yourself.
And you let me see what Ms. Marie can do.
-What do you mean? -Don't ask questions.
Now I'm gonna go and have a little talk
with the partners.
And you will let me know when the paperwork is signed,
-correct? -Yes, ma'am.
All right then.
-Hand me my purse? -Yes, of course.
-Thank you. -I got you.
Congratulations.
For us!
[Marie] Knock, knock.
Marie, how may I help you?
Well, I just thought I might be able to interest you
in a victory midday snack.
-What was that earlier? -What was what?
That little uh, girl power pow-wow bullshit?
That was work and me handling my business.
You did not strike me as the type to confuse
business and pleasure.
No, I know how to hold it down,
but you didn't have to do me like that.
I've been out here busting my ass for you.
You've been busting your ass for the paycheck
that I was delivering. Now Andi delivered.
You did not. Case closed.
Well, clearly, I'm delivering something
since you're constantly coming in here begging for it.
Begging?
Listen, boy, you are not in my league.
You are lucky that you were available and convenient
because I considered it charity work.
Well, let's see how the blogs feel about your charity
when they find out one of your lawyers
been giving you back shots between meetings.
Oh, trust.
That is not a game you want to play with me.
I'm a grown-ass woman and I have nothing to hide.
I will tell on myself before you ever get a chance to.
And if you like to play story time,
I will give the press a novel of all the shit you're into
that you will never come back from the details.
Try me. Good boy.
So long, Hayden.
--.
[music]
Where the -- have you been?
You came in, stormed right past me,
ran upstairs.
I've been waiting for you to get out of the shower.
Zac, don't talk to me like that.
I've been calling you. Your phone is dead.
I went to see Gary.
-Gary? Gary, Gary? -Yes.
Like in Andi's ex, now fiancé Gary?
What you go see him for?
That Gary.
I needed to talk to him about Andi.
Okay, and?
Things got physical.
Physical how?
Zac, I'm fine. I can handle myself.
-Can you handle yourself? -Yes.
You just told me things got physical.
You were disheveled when you came in here.
You ran upstairs.
You gotta talk to me.
Look, he put his security on me. It got a little physical.
I'm good.
So his security put hands on you?
Is that what you said happened?
-Yes, Zac. -Okay, okay.
-Zac, where are you going? -I'm--He's -- dead, bro.
I'm over this. I'm over it.
Do you know how crazy you sound right now?
Me? I sound crazy?
This don't seem crazy to you?
No, it's crazy he came to my baby shower,
disrespected me, my baby mother, you.
Now, he's got his security putting hands on my fiancee.
He's dead. I don't care no more.
-I don't care. -Zac, Zac, Zac.
-Fa-- -Zac, listen to me.
Listen.
You have something to lose now, okay?
You've gotta think about Michael, the twins.
All right?
But baby, I agree with you, okay?
-Okay. -Something needs to be done.
Yeah, yeah, something gotta be done.
Yep.
But we're gonna do it my way. Comprende?
Hello, Zac.
-My way or no way? -Okay!
Usher, we'll do it your way.
Thank you.
Look, Gary's gonna get what's coming to him, all right?
-[Zac] Yep. -All right.
It's fine. I'm good.
[Zac] Okay. All right.
I'ma go sit down on the couch.
On the couch. Do not go out that door.
I'm not. I promise you, I'm not.
[music]
-Oh. -Oh, excuse me, Ms. Marie.
Well, you're excused.
Weren't you the woman who gave me that fabulous edge cream?
Yes, I was. And did it get you right?
Did it?
Had my edges laid like burdens at the cross.
Roots to Riches will set you free.
Well, are they looking for any investors?
'Cause I might be able to add some Riches to that Root.
Oh, we would love that.
Well, let's stay in touch and get the elevator together.
Right.
Oh.
Andi, come on in.
-Please. -Sure, Mr. Benson.
Come in. Have a seat.
Okay.
Just the woman I wanted to see.
-I am? -You are.
Okay, um, could I ask what about?
This firm has been through a lot this year.
It has.
Especially dealing with you.
Well, Mr. Benson I'm not entirely sure
what you're referring to, but I can assure you--
Everything, including one of our partners,
your dear mentor, grabbing at your feet?
Yeah, it's been difficult.
Andi, I can't say that your life will get any easier from here.
Marie Willis spoke to us about her case and the work you did.
She's bringing all of her legal business
to Benson, Jones and Barnes.
Oh, that's great. That's a--
Wait! Did you just say Barnes?
Yeah, that's right.
Of course, there's negotiating to be done,
but that's our intention.
Yes, yes, of course and I promise that
I won't let the part-- I won't let my partners down.
You won't regret it, Mr. Benson.
We know we won't.
-Thank you. -Thank you.
Ooh.
[humming]
Yeah, okay, okay. Not too much dancing, all right?
Because you almost blew the case.
If it wasn't for me coming in, we might have lost.
Hayden, why can't you just be happy that we won?
There's no we in I. And if the partners ask,
I dragged your ass across the finish line.
You know, that's your problem.
See, you'll lie, steal, stab anyone in the back
to get what you want.
-This is America, ain't it? -It is.
But here at this firm, our firm,
Benson, Jones and Barnes,
we don't like those kind of activities.
-No. -Oh, yes.
Oh, and just to be clear, Hayden,
your days are numbered.
You can go now.
Oh, and you report to me.
[laughs]
[door closes]
[music]
Look, I had to stop you.
I don't know, Rich. I feel like I gave you
every opportunity to be a part of this
and now you wanna change your mind.
Look, the thought of being with you
with another man's kids, that-that-that drove me crazy.
So it left me with two options, break up or get with it.
I don't want you to do it because you're scared
of losing me.
This is your chance, Rich. Just get out now while you can.
Hey, I don't wanna get out.
Look, I know this is a lot.
It's...
It's confusing.
And it's unorthodox,
I have to do this.
I love you.
But I love the idea of me being a mother more.
And as a woman, my time is valuable.
I have to do everything that I have to do to fulfill that.
And you're absolutely right. Okay?
This has been a lot.
And I know I said I didn't want to have kids,
but I think I only felt that way because
I never met someone I want to have kids with.
And then I met you and everything changed.
Look, the thought of you having a procedure while I wait
on the side as you ready your body for another man's sperm,
that shit nearly broke me.
What are you saying?
I'm saying I wanna do this.
And not just as the supportive boyfriend,
but as the father of your kids.
Rich, please.
Please don't say that if you're not serious.
Hey, I'm serious.
It's like, I started getting all these signs at the same time,
you know?
The juice bar started doing really well
and I started thinking a life past getting it off the ground.
And I started to like, imagine what my life would be like
when I was as successful as I wanted to be.
And every single time I thought about it,
there you were.
Look, I don't even know if this shit is gonna sound right,
but I want you more than I don't wanna have kids.
And when that day comes, I'ma be one hell of a father.
[music]
[door closes]
What? No kisses this time?
Didn't you tell me I was doing too much?
This is me not doing too much.
The least you could do is clean the house up. Shit.
Don't start with me today. It's funny.
I don't see a ring on this finger.
--, please.
I'm out there workin' my ass off while you sittin' in here
in the lap of luxury paying no rent.
The least you could do is -- tidy up.
Who the -- are you calling a bitch?
You know what? I had a bad day today.
So it would be nice to come home to a clean house
and a home-cooked meal.
That's all I'm saying.
Then tell your gray-pubic-hair-having-ass bitch
that you're looking for a housemaid.
Here we go with this shit again.
-Yeah, here I go. -You know what?
I should've let you keep selling ass for Fatima.
Yeah, you should have, but you won't because
I'm the best thing that ever happened to you.
I don't care how much money that old bitch got.
Now, that's real rich coming from somebody
-who's still hiding something. -It's my phone!
And what's in it ain't none of your business.
Yeah, well, you're in my house. Give me that -- phone!
Give me my phone!
You're acting real aggressive for somebody who ain't
-hiding anything, huh? -Give me my phone, Hayden.
Get the -- off me!
Lying-ass --. I know you're hiding...
[Tamara screaming]
[knock on door]
What are those?
Flowers.
Eleven more.
Thank you.
[music]
So um...
I know things have been a little murky with Tiffany
in the picture, but I wanted to tell you that she's gone.
-She dead? -What? No. No.
She's moving. She got stationed to Italy.
And um, my babies wanna move with her, so...
Oh, thank God. I'm just--
-Okay. -No, no, that she's not dead.
I'm sorry.
I know your babies mean a lot to you.
They do, but uh, they have been missing their mom, so...
If it's any consolation, I'd choose Italy over you, too.
They didn't pick her. They picked Italy.
You'd pick Italy over me?
Pizza, motorbikes.
You know I could always take you to Italy.
Look, Danni, I never meant to make you feel like
you were in some sort of competition with Tiffany.
You didn't 'cause there isn't one.
And I agree with you.
But what I'm trying to say is that I didn't do a really
good job at setting boundaries.
You've been talking to your therapist.
I have missed you.
And I just wanted to let you know that
it's always been you. No one else.
You sure you're not saying that 'cause you're kinda left with
the only option?
Danni, I would choose you over and over again.
Tony, I just need you to be--
[music]
I've missed that.
Don't forget whatever you were going to say, okay?
I gotta bounce. I gotta help the kids pack.
And I'll be back in a few days.
You think you can be patient with me?
Mm-hmm.
Okay.
See you soon.
[music]
Hurry back.
I will.
[Tamara screaming]
You've been -- Gary this whole time?
I'm sorry.
I loved you. I--I trusted you.
I took you back after all that shit.
Listen, it was just sex.
Just sex?
I was trying to get money from him so that we--
Nah, nah, don't act like you was doing this shit for me.
-How many times this happen? -Once.
A couple of times.
He came on to me and I met up with him to get him to stop.
And we ended up having sex again.
I'm sorry.
How long has this been going on?
You better tell me because you know I'ma ask him.
Gary is a liar.
You heard the way he talks about you.
I couldn't hear shit over you -- moanin', Tamara!
-Get the -- out of my house. -Hayden!
Get the -- out of my house!
I ain't gonna say it again. Get the -- out!
You know what? -- you, Hayden!
You're a weak-ass bitch just like Gary said you are!
Uh-huh. Get the -- out!
-- slut.
[door slams shut]
Okay. You can do this.
Lead with your heart.
You've gotta put it all on the line.
I don't even know if he's home.
What am I doing? I'll call him.
There we go.
I'll call him. [line trilling]
Okay, we can do this. Andi, we got this.
[line trilling]
Okay.
[phone beeps]
Hey Jordan, I wanted to say thank you
for the referral to Ms. Marie.
I made partner!
And it's because of you.
You're a great man, Jordan.
And I'm sorry I can't be with you.
And the next time you see me, I will be married.
But you have to know that...
it's not because of you, and you didn't do anything wrong.
And I have to do this because I am trying to protect you.
Okay? I--
I love-- [phone beeps]
That was terrible.
[music]
I don't know, y'all.
I ain't buying this I love you shit.
Andi was in love with Jordan. Now what?
Boom, she just breaks up with him and gets engaged
to this psychopath?
He has some nerve to come up in my baby shower
disrespecting my guests.
I still get mad when I think about it.
-- know how to make a scene. I'll give him that.
We have to do something. Now.
Andi doesn't know, but I saw her calendar.
The wedding is tonight.
Karen, Karen, Karen, Karen, Karen, Karen,
are you saying Andi's getting married tonight?
Yeah. I saw it. I saw a date and a time.
I just--
I don't know where it is. I knew I couldn't ask.
Guys, what if Andi really loves Gary?
Excuse me.
You know I'm not the biggest fan of Gary, but at this point,
I don't know. I'm confused, you know?
And she's been dealing with him on and off
for such a long freakin' time.
[sighs] I know we all think that Jordan is perfect for her,
but maybe we just don't know the full story.
The full story is Gary's a mass manipulator
and Andi is very smart. And strategic.
So if she's marrying him,
then there has to be something we're missing.
You know he's being investigated?
And she's a witness.
What if he's making her marry him
because spouses don't have to testify?
What?
I thought we were throwing out ideas?
You need to stop watching so much TV.
Yeah, girl. It's not good for you.
Well, Andi needs to be saved, clearly.
Saved.
How?
We do what Gary did at my baby shower.
We find out where it is and we pop up.
There's strength in numbers.
Okay, Karen. Then what do we do exactly?
Oh, my God.
We just gotta kill him.
No, that's-- That's off the table.
That's totally off the table.
Yeah. Yeah. I agree.
-Self-defense? -No.
All right.
Because honestly, one, Karen is pregnant.
Very pregnant.
Two, what happens when you kill someone?
-You go to jail. -You do, Danni.
-You bury them. -No, you go to jail, Danni!
Six feet deep.
And I just got my man to father my children
and I cannot go back to jail right now.
Or ever, really.
Look, we'll do whatever we have to do.
Okay? We have to help Andi.
Well, whatever we do,
we're not going to jail.
Well, I guess we're gonna go crash a wedding.
Again.
And then kill him.
-Danni. -Danni.
Okay.
All right, cool. Just text me when she can meet.
Yeah.
Okay, I will. All right.
-Was that Madam? -No.
Um, she'll call me when she's done.
Apparently, she's knee deep in some other business right now,
-so... -I feel sorry for that person.
[phone ringing]
What's up?
Hey Zac, are you with Fatima?
Yeah, why?
[Karen] Okay. Can you put her on the phone?
[Zac] This sound like a set-up.
Hey Zac, put her on the phone.
It's Karen and Danni. They wanna talk to you.
About what?
Hello.
Hey Fatima, this is kinda random, but--
Hey, I tried to call you, but you didn't pick up.
Oh, yeah, my bad, Danni. I was on the other line.
Okay, well, we need your help.
[Fatima] Okay, what's up?
The wedding that Gary's blabbing about is tonight.
Yeah, I know.
[Karen] Okay. Well, do you know where it is?
We have to put a stop to it. Something is wrong, Fatima.
Yeah, I know it is. I know.
[Sabrina] Fatima, please, if you know something,
you have to tell us now.
Look, she is in trouble, but Andi made me promise not
-to tell y'all. -Come on, Fatima, please.
Look, I wanna help her just as much as you guys do,
but she's hell-bent on going through with this.
I think it's a waste of time.
That's a chance we're gonna take.
All right, all right. Well, it's happening soon.
I'll send you guys the address.
Okay. Thank you.
Yep.
How do you even know where the wedding is?
'Cause Andi got an email reminder.
Hold on. Let me send them the address.
All right. I'll be right back.
Where are you going?
We gotta go, but I'll be right back.
Why do we gotta go?
Look, babe, if they're planning something, we need to be there.
-Okay. -[Fatima] All right.
[music]
Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa.
Didn't they say it's bad luck for the bride and groom
to see each other before the wedding?
It is.
Well, good thing I don't believe in that.
-Gary-- -You look so nice.
I was expecting something a little more form fitting,
but it'll do.
Gary, can we talk about this?
Please don't tell me you're getting cold feet.
Gary, we don't have to do this.
We do.
Okay, I won't testify in court about you.
I will forget everything happened.
We don't have to take it this far.
[Gary] Okay.
Or I can release all your little nasty boyfriend's dirt
and end his career.
No, no. I don't want that.
Oh, my gosh, you're so pathetic.
I gave you everything you ever wanted.
Ruined my life for you.
Sign that wedding certificate right now.
Baby, we have to do that after the wedding.
Right?
You or your friends
better not try any funny shit.
We won't, but you and I can-- We can work something out.
-We can work something out? -Yeah.
Okay. The only thing I want you to work out
is how you're gonna find a way to -- smile
during our wedding photo.
And get that sick, puppy-dog look off your face.
I can't believe you'd ruin your life to protect this man.
I mean, what is it?
It's love, Gary.
I am tired of everyone being ruined on my account.
So this time, I will take their pain.
You always did like a little pain.
We'll save it for our honeymoon. Now, go.
[music]
[phone ringing]
[Gary] Hey man, what's up?
Where you at?
[Gary] It's a funny story.
I'm actually getting married right now.
Oh, yeah?
[Gary] Don't you wanna know who? Because it's not Penelope.
-Andi? -[Gary] Yeah.
I thought you wanted to destroy her?
[Gary] I did destroy her and now we're getting married.
I guess you had this planned all along, huh?
[Gary] You know what?
You should come by and bring Tamara, too.
No.
No, we ain't really seeing eye-to-eye right now.
[Gary] I told you her lying ass was no good, huh?
You know what? I think I am gonna pull up.
Why don't you send me the address?
[Gary] All right.
Come now 'cause the wedding's about to start.
You don't wanna miss it.
Yeah, I bet.
Mother--!
-- -ass --!
--!
All right. This is it.
What is in here?
Something for both of us, all right?
But Zac, we're doing this my way, okay?
Okay, Suge Wife.
[music]
[Danni] Your bridesmaids are here.
Um, hey, uh.
Hi.
[Andi] Uh, uh, hi.
You got our dresses this time?
This is a private event. You all can't be here.
Actually, we're with the bridal party. Thank you.
But what are you guys doing here?
We came here to get you.
Ms. Barnes, your friends can't be here.
Well, I don't know what to tell you 'cause we ain't
goin' nowhere, so unless you're comfortable draggin' a pregnant
woman by her ankles while she's recording,
I don't know what to tell you.
I'm gonna have to get Gary.
Oh, Gary. Oh my God, Gary!
-Scary Gary? -Get him!
-[Sabrina] Get him. -We've got plenty to give him.
Okay, I can handle this if you can just give me
a second, please.
-Fine. -Thank you.
Excuse me.
All right, enough is enough, bitch.
We know he got your grandma chained into a basement
or something because you are not this dumb.
[Karen] Nope.
This is what I want.
No. That's the lying Andi face. And we know that.
I love you all.
[Karen] We love you, too.
That's why we can't let you do this.
Andi, I will blow this shit up.
I mean, we might not go that far.
Oh, no, no, no, no, no.
I came ready to fight the preacher.
Look at these.
This is serious, Danni!
This is what I want and if you don't believe me,
then maybe you don't know me. How about that?
Because Gary is in my life now--
Andi, we're not leaving you here with Gary!
Ladies...
Let me talk to her.
Yeah, yeah, yeah. Go ahead.
I'm going to get the gasoline.
-I got matches. -Don't do that.
Oh, it's Lisa Left Eye, bitch.
You better be able to run in that dress.
I got your message.
How'd you find me?
I followed Gary's henchmen.
-Andi-- -No, no.
I have to do this, okay? Just let me do it.
Do you love me?
With all my heart.
You said in your message that you wanted to protect me.
What does that mean?
I can't tell you because if you stop this,
it could ruin everything.
Do I look like I'm being protected right now?
I don't care what he has.
Are you in danger?
Is this about my sister?
All of it.
It's all a mess. And it's all my fault.
Everything that has happened to you and your sister,
it's--
This is the cost.
You don't love him?
No.

No. You have to go.
I made a promise to fight for you, for us.
Jordan, I know this is hard,
but I need you to take all the love and devotion
you have for me
and focus on being the great man that
I know you're supposed to be.
I ruin everything.
Andi, I need you to stop talking to me in riddles.
It's not a riddle.
I love you.
This wedding doesn't change that.
I need you to know that, okay?
[music]
Let's run away.
I'll get two plane tickets to anywhere you want.
We can start over. He can't do this to us.
Hey, let me take you away.
Your life is here.
And you have an election to win.
Jordan, I have to do this. Please, go.
No.
If you won't fight him,
I'll do it myself.
Jordan, don--
[music]
Where is he?
Let me call him.
No, I'll get him. I wanna get this over with.
You freakin' force me to marry you and then you make me wait!
Stupid dress!
