Everything has a funny way of always turning to shit
when you're around, Andi.
[Fatima] Previously on Sistas...
Yes, Hayden, Robin told me
that you'll be taking over Andi's cases.
And, I'm your new boss.
You thought, "I know what I'll get Danni,
more work headaches for free."
You better pay up or I'm gonna sue you
for everything you got, including this salon.
How about that?
I can't stand to see you like this.
Gary? Hey, someone come!
I need help!
[music]
Oh, excuse me, Dr. Leed. Ms. Barnes, is it?
Yes. Is there any news on when we'll know what's going on
with Gary?
Well, I'm afraid that Mr. Borders' condition
has worsened. He had a seizure.
We managed to stabilize him,
but he's not out of the woods yet.
Okay, but is he gonna make it?
Well, we're doing everything that we can,
but it's-it's too soon to say. We'll keep you updated on his--
Hey! What's going on here?
I-I was just telling Ms. Barnes--
Ms. Barnes does not have authorization to hear about
Gary Borders' medical condition.
I have every right to know about Gary Borders' medical condition.
Actually, you don't.
They did teach you what power of attorney means
-in law school, did they not? -I-I'm sorry.
I thought she was the patient's fiancee.
I am the patient's fiancee.
Yes, and we both know how much that engagement meant to you,
don't we, Andi?
Ms. Barnes has no business being privy to any information
regarding Mr. Borders' condition.
See that your entire staff is aware.
I would hate to sue the hospital for a HIPAA violation
-on Mr. Borders' behalf. -Understood, sir.
I'm sorry, Ms. Barnes. I'm afraid that going forward,
you'll have to get all your information about your fiancee's
condition from Mr. Hudson here.
Why are you still here, Andi?
Seeing you made him go into convulsions.
And now you're sticking around to what?
Make sure that he flatlines?
You know that I would never harm Gary.
Oh, please. You would do everything to him.
You're the worst thing that's ever happened to him.
What makes you think you can talk to me in this way?
I call 'em like I see 'em.
-You do? -Mm-hmm.
I don't give a damn that you have Gary's power of attorney!
I will not be stopped! I need to see him!
Not when he needs me the most!
[chuckles] Oh, did your little lawyer boyfriend coach you
to say it like that? Yeah, I heard how you beguiled
Robin Autry into representing you.
And actually what is it about you and men that make them flock
to you like bees to honey?
Or, um flies to shit?
Maybe that's the better analogy.
Robin is a colleague and a friend.
That is all.
A friend and a colleague that you used to get
-on all fours for. -Oh, there's that lethal temper.
Good thing you don't have a knife,
or I'd be in a hosptial bed right next to Gary.
Now, please, get out.
Or I'll have the officer escort you.

[music]
That's right, 400 Gs, ladies.
Pay up or your little fresh start
is gonna come to a quick end.
Four hundred thousand dollars? Are you serious?
You heard me right.
Yeah, y'all better run me my money
or I'll see y'all in court.
-Excuse us. -Ouch!
You got a strong mommy grip, girl.
Pam, this is on you.
I knew I shouldn't let you sell your homemade stuff at my salon.
Oh, so, now you're trying to backpedal.
It's too late for that, partner.
What have I gotten myself into?
Ain't nothin' wrong with our product.
Roots to Riches ain't do this to that ole cow's head.
I can't lose nothin' else, Pam. I can't.
Roots to Riches wrecks yo edges! Roots to Riches wrecks yo edges!
Look at 'em.
Roots to Riches wrecks yo edges! Roots to Riches wrecks yo edges!
[music]
Uh, excuse me.
What the hell are you doing in my office?
Well, hello, Hayden.
Did you miss me?
What do you want, Marie?
Now, is that any way to speak to the firm's top client?
We have some business to discuss.
-Yeah, no, we don't. -I beg your pardon?
Any business that we had to discuss,
we already discussed last time you were in this office.
Oh, are you referring to that little temper tantrum you threw
when you found out that I had backed Andi Barnes
for the managing-partner position?
Andi Barnes saved me hundreds of millions of dollars
when she got my bottom-feeding ex-husband
to sign that divorce settlement.
That was business, just business.
How is that working out for you backing Andi
with all your various businesses?
I mean, the woman is in the middle of a joint police
and FBI investigation into the stabbing of Gary Borders.
She's not really helping you from a prison cell, is she?
Oh, please. Andi couldn't hurt a fly.
You and I both know that.
You really have to get over your envy of that woman.
It is so unattractive.
From what I remember, Andi Barnes didn't give you
three climaxes in your expensive hotel suite.
Oh, God, so crass. It's beneath you.
Hmm, just like you were
for two of those aforementioned climaxes.
You really think you're something.
[chuckles] I think that you think that I'm something.
Well, as your generation says, "Don't get it twisted."
Because when it comes to business and pleasure,
Marie will always choose business first.
Okay.
Anything else?
Don't pout. Don't pout.
Now, you know I like Andi handling my legal affairs,
but you do possess some qualities that
Andi just doesn't bring to the table.
[knock on door]
[Rich] Knock, knock.
Hi.
-Hey, hey. -My favorite person.
Come here.
What are you doing here?
I came to see if I can take out a loan.
I mean, I figured since you know the manager,
you might be able to help a brotha out.
Is everything okay with the business?
How much do you need?
I think I need to borrow about 100,000
of these kisses.
One, two. Really a long way to go.
What, what? Come on.
Okay. You know I love your kisses.
-Mm-hmm, you better. -Mm-hmm, but I am also at work.
And I have to be professional.
This is so stupid.
I don't know why she got these new pens.
Talk about some new banks.
This pen dry as the Sahara Desert.
[music]
What is this? A "P"?
How a "P" get in it?
At least it writes, child.
Excuse me.
Wh-what do you think you're doing?
I'm on vacation getting a massage, dummy.
What does it look like I'm doing? I'm working.
No, no, no. What are you doing with Pink-kesha?
Pink-kesha?
Girl, walk away from me, okay? Or it won't be an option.
I know you didn't just yank that pen from me.
I am the only person who is allowed to use Pink-kesha.
She is my most prized possession.
Oh, that explains a lot.
Why don't you just, you know, use this pen, okay?
It's basic like you.
Jolene, I know you didn't just call me basic.
Don't play with me.
I'm not playing with you. You just can't use Pink-kesha.
Let me tell you something. I tried to use this pen.
It was dry.
And so now I'm going to use this one.
Thank you.
Hey, Maurice, give me Pink-kesha back!
I won't be giving you anything back.
Give it back! Give it back!
-Give me-- -No, no!
Give it, give it! Give me back Pink-kesha!
Pink-kesha! Give it back!
What was that? What's going on?
Oh, oh, so cat fights are professional?
Oh, okay.
-Give it! -She loves me.
-Oh my God! -She love me not.
Don't! Give me, give me Pink-kesha!
-[Maurice] She loves me. -Give me Pink-kesha!
Stop blowing on her. She doesn't like to be blown.
-This place about to blow. -Oh, give it back!
Give it, give it back! Oh, my God, stop.
[gasps] Pink-kesha!
Maurice and Paige are gonna be the death of me.
I'm gonna be right back, okay?
-All right. -Do not move a muscle.
You mean these muscles, baby?
[Sabrina] I mean that muscle.
Watch out now.
Shh, shh, shh! What is going on here?
The secretary is screaming about a pen.
It is not just a pen.
It is a vintage, one-of-a-kind pen, Sabrina.
Stop, stop, stop, stop, please.
This is a professional work space.
Well, tell that to Mr. Sticky Fingers over here.
Sticky fingers?
At least I'm not the one back there sucking --.
It was you who started those nasty rumors about me.
I knew it.
You liar, little liar, liar, pants on fire.
Girl, please. You have no credibility.
Your best friend is a pen. Talk about a pen pal!
Well, at least I don't plot with my lovers to rob banks!
That's a lie! That's a lie!
I wasn't feeling that well, you self-absorbant,
-self-indulged-- -Self-indulged?
Maurice, Paige, time out, time out.
Go over there to the breakroom. Go, cool down.
-Fine. -Cool down.
Break? And how she get a break?
-I should get a break-- -Maurice, go back to work.
She didn't have to go back to work.
You put her on break.
Do you wanna get back on your computer?
She on Sabbatical.
Do you wanna be back on that Fans thing?
[music]
That's low, Stevie. That's low.
[Sabrina] I'm so sorry.
Managing these two is like babysitting feral kittens.
You know, it's all right.
I have someone watching the shop,
so how about we head out for lunch?
You know I want to, but I can't.
Maurice and Paige are at each other's throats.
So I probably gotta stay here.
-Raincheck? -I mean, do I have a choice?
Baby, please, please, please. Don't pout.
I have a lot of work here to do. Just meet me at the house, okay?
-Okay. -Later.
-Okay. -Naked.
-Mm-hmm. -Mm-hmm.
Well guess what? You're gonna miss out on all of...
-You see that? -I mean...
You feel that? You feel that, right?
I mean, I didn't know.
If you need a job at Club Eden, let me know.
I'm good.
-Aight, I'll see you later. -Okay.
-Bye. -Bye.
-Love you. -[Rich] I love you, too.
[music]
[phone ringing]
Hey, girl.
[Danni] Girl, I need to talk to you.
Can you uh, meet me at Steam?
No, I'm sorry.
I just turned Rich down for lunch.
It's a lot going on here at the bank today.
[Danni] To hell with that bank!
Didn't you know capitalism is a cancer?
What are you talking about?
[Danni] Uh, anyway, Cretia is ignoring me.
Something about setting boundaries.
I mean, sure I text her all hours of the night,
but isn't that what a therapist is for?
I mean, be at my beck and call. I don't understand these people.
Yeah, that's not how that works.
[Danni] Hey, Bartender, can I get another one?
Danni, are you drinking? It's only noon.
[Danni] As a matter of fact, can you keep 'em coming?
How many have you had? Danni, answer me.
Dan--
This girl.
[music]
I see.
So this is why you came crawling back?
-You want some --. -Oh, --, please.
Marie crawls for no man and no --.
Could've fooled me.
Well, that wouldn't be that difficult.
You lead with that wounded ego of yours.
It's your Achilles.
Now, you're gonna have to learn how to master that
if you ever wanna compete in this world.
I think I'm competing just fine.
Hayden...
-You're an adequate attorney. -Oh, adequate?
Oh, so you're going crazy with the flattery, huh?
You don't even ever have to worry about that.
But what was I here for? Oh, yes.
I need you to go over this business proposal
that I have invested in and make sure that it is up to par.
What is this?
That is a new beauty start-up that I've invested in,
and I want you to make sure that their business plan is
in order.
Check their cash flow, their balance sheets,
their financial statements.
Some pissy edge control? Really?
Please tell me you're joking.
You didn't invest in this, did you?
I invested in two brilliant black entrepreneurs.
They have drive. They have ambition.
They have hustle like I did when I was their age.
And I wouldn't expect you to understand that,
since you're only used to dealing with gold diggers
like that Tamara creature. Now, handle my business.
And don't -- it up.
Roots to Riches wrecks yo edges! Roots to Riches wrecks yo edges!
Roots to Riches wrecks yo edges!
We can't just stand here and let this hoe
stomp all over us like this. We have to clap back.
What do you suppose we do then?
I don't know, but we gotta do something.
Say the word and I will beat that hoe ass.
You gonna beat her ass in the middle of the salon
with all these customers?
Well, that's why you usually come up with big ideas.
You should leave.
Well, I am the one who created Roots to Riches.
Yeah, and now some loud-mouth hood rat is in here
making a ruckus talkin' about your creation
stripped her edges clean to the root.
Hood rat? Who you callin' loud?
You. I'm calling you loud! Loud and wrong.
You cannot prove that we did this to you!
Oh, well, yeah.
We'll see what my lawyer has to say about that.
Keep chanting, ladies!
Roots to Riches wrecks yo edges! Roots to Riches wrecks yo edges!
Roots to Riches wrecks yo edges!
Hoe, don't nobody care about your little lawyer.
Our best friend is an attorney. Andrea Barnes, Esquire.
Our best friend?
Well, ain't I an honorary member of the sista circle by now?
You know what? Yes. Yes, you are.
And if we don't figure out how to shut down this
hair salon insurrection, we gonna be bunkin'
with another one of the sistas 'cause you and I
are gonna be broke and homeless, Pam!
Don't worry. We gonna figure something out.
Roots to Riches wrecks yo edges! Roots to Riches wrecks yo edges!
[Dr. Leed] I'm afraid Mr. Borders' condition
is critical. He suffered a seizure.
We managed to stabilize him, but he's not out of the woods yet.
[Andi] How'd we get here?
Remember the first day I fell in love with you?
What the hell are you doing here?
I left her. I'm moving in.
-No. -Yes.
Thank you.
[machine beeping]
I let my guard down with you. I trusted you.
Why did you put me through all of this?
Please, just...
Gary?
[machine beeping louder]
Wait, something's up. Hey, someone come!
I need help!
All of this for what?
For what? For happiness?
Gary was the worse decision I ever made in my life.
Why, why, why, why do you chase validation so much?
You -- idiot!
Get your shit together.
Stand up!
Look at you.
Your whole world is falling apart.
It's in ruins for a man!
[music]
I will never be controlled
or manipulated by a man
ever again.
Yeah, you got this. You got this.
[glass smashes]
[text message beeps]
Look, you have several multi-million dollar companies.
Okay.
Yet, you want me to handle some goo that
some nappy-headed black -- use to lay down the baby hairs?
I'm gonna forgive your lack of capacity to understand
the value of this investment because people scoffed at me
when I took my girl-group thing
and turned it into my own record label
that is now worth billions.
Right.
But edge control, seriously?
I just, I don't get it,
but you know what? Whatever.
-Your money, your loss. -I don't lose.
Because I pay people like you to make sure it's not even
a remote possibility.
You know,
you have a lot to learn
about trusting your instincts from a woman like me.
Hayden, I could teach you things in the boardroom and the bedroom
that would make you suck your thumb and beg for your mama.
Ugh. Yeah, I really need you to not mention my mother
in regards to sex. Ever.
I'll be in touch with you about Roots to Riches.
I'm sure you will.
And you're welcome.
What exactly am I thanking you for?
That you still have a job.
You don't think it's a coincidence
that Robin Autrey kept you on at Benson, Jones, and Leeland,
do you?
[music]
So, what was that about?
♪ You never let it go now I'm out your control now ♪
♪ Learning you is all dried out ♪
♪ When you come near me The feelings come over on me ♪
♪ Yeah ♪
♪ I feel I can change, so I just let it rain ♪
♪ All over me, yeah, yeah ♪
Ah. [slurping]
Daniella.
No government names.
Just call me "D".
"D" for dummy.
Yeah, I'm a dummy.
You're not a dummy.
What are you talking about?
-Let me get two. -No. Two waters.
Yes, two waters.
Danni, what are you talking about?
What's going on?
You didn't get in touch with Cretia?
You know, I'm starting to think that therapy is for people
who can't hold their liquor.
-Danni. -You know what I'm sayin'?
-Yeah, I'm aight. -Take that.
That's just fine. I like my lime, thank you.
[Sabrina] Okay.
You know, I'm a knuck-if-you-buck kinda girl.
-You know what I'm sayin'? -Yeah.
You're all about that Namaste stuff.
I just-- I just wanna fight it out.
I'm not-- I'm not Zen, you know?
-I'm not Zen. -I get it.
So how's that going for you right now?
Thriving.
You know, my man wants me to go to therapy for wanting
to make love to him. You know?
And I just want some vitamin D. That's all he's good for.
You know, black people are deficient in vitamin D.
-Right. -[Danni] I'm deficient.
I don't think I need therapy.
Definitely don't need his career-counseling advice.
-I have lime in my teeth. -I'm sorry. What?
Sex, Sabrina! I want sex!
Okay. Okay.
We're still in public.
It's a lover's spat. Don't worry about us.
Great. Great, now they probably think we're lesbians.
You know, if I was a lesbian I'd at least be getting
some good --.
-Okay. -[Danni] I would.
They know what to do. They got the parts.
Okay, I'm here with you.
I'm hearing your concerns about your sex life with Tony.
How many times are you guys making love?
-Two, three times. -Two or three times?
What is it, per week?
Danni, that's good.
Actually, per day.
Excuse-- You guys have sex two or three--
We work together. We see each other all day.
When do you have time?
I just, you know, on the weekends it's more.
I mean, it was until someone shish kabobbed Gary.
Now all he wants to do is talk to me about my emotions,
and, you know, boost my resume.
That's because he cares about you, Danni.
Sabrina, I care about him, but I don't feel the need to fix him.
Okay.
Well, at least Tony's not just in love with you for your body.
Right? That's what we like.
Isn't it?
What was this whole resume thing you're talking about?
-Oh, I didn't tell you? -No.
So at work, there was this leadership training initiative
that Tony signed me up for without asking me.
Or telling me until it was done.
Are you serious?
A leadership program is pretty amazing.
That sounds fun.
Yeah, it's about as fun as laying on a bed of nails.
Okay, Danni. I'm just...
-I'm trying to understand. -Mm-hmm.
-I can see that you're upset. -Mm-hmm.
But is--is the reason you're upset because Tony,
your man is concerned about your feelings more
than just your physical body?
And he's trying to help you advance your career?
-I'm confused. -You didn't hear a word I said.
Clearly. I'm upset because he's constantly trying to change me
into something I am not.
And if he continues to do that, there won't be enough liquor
in the world to continue this relationship.
Honestly, can I-- Please?
Sheesh.
Don't do it.
[music]
--, you heard me.
What were you and Marie Willis in here kee-keeing about?
Don't you have a kid you need to look after?
I mean, Zac, not his mute son.
Mother--, you stay off the subject of Michael.
Do you understand me?
Aw, are you getting attached to the little street urchin?
That's nice.
Speaking of people that come from the street,
what would Tamara think about how close you and Marie were
in here?
She wouldn't think anything.
-Marie is just a client. -Mm-hmm.
Hayden, a word to the wise, trying to -- your way
to the top, that's a bitch move.
You probably should've told Andi that.
How many men has she screwed to get ahead?
Andi really does live rent free in that marble-shaped head
of yours, doesn't she?
You think that you can get Marie to come over here
-while Andi's out? -I don't think that I can.
I know that I can.
See, Fatima, Andi's losing all her allies.
First, Robin Autrey.
Now, Marie Willis.
So, you better start being nice to me if you want to keep
your job around here before she gets officially terminated.
Now, get out. I got work to do.
[music]
[phone ringing]
Oh, gosh.
[phone ringing]
When your busy, future attorney fiancee
calls you in the middle of the day,
it cannot be good.
Be supportive. What's up, baby?
Hey, babe, what are you doing?
[Zac] Nothin', just chillin'.
I've got a surprise for you, though.
I don't think I can take anymore surprises today.
What's going on?
Zac, I'm telling you, there's some foul shit
going on around here.
[Zac] Well, I got the perfect thing for you.
Why don't you just meet me here in an hour?
I'll have some of my famous Zacos for you.
If they're so famous, why have I never heard of them?
You've had my Zacos before. It's just like a taco,
but a Zac-flavored taco with extra cream.
You know you like the cream.
Here you go talkin' about cream again.
You know, you really have a one-track mind.
And it's always on something nasty.
It do because you haven't seen yourself lately,
especially that ass.
[Fatima] Boy, shut up.
So, you coming or what?
Yeah, I'll be there in a little bit.
-Babe, I gotta go. -[Zac] What?
How you gonna call me to hang up on me?
Like, this can't be my life.
I'm trying to have a Ziesta.
Some Zacos.
Roots to Riches wrecks yo edges! Roots to Riches wrecks yo edges!
Roots to Riches wrecks yo edges!
Karen, my nerves so bad I could pull my own damn edges out.
I can help you with that.
Uh, what's going on?
-Trey, I'm so glad you're here. -Hey.
We need the presence of a big, strong man.
Oh. I hope you're not here to bring more of that
Roots to Riches poison.
You better wash your hands, brutha if you touched it
because it's just as toxic as the ones who peddling it!
Oh, uh-uh-uh. You don't talk to my man.
His hands and his everything are safe with me.
Oh! I know this chick ain't--
Okay, this is all just a big misunderstanding, everyone.
Yeah? Well, tell that to my hairline!
Hey, if y'all can't calm down, you're gonna have to leave.
Oh, we're not leaving and goin' nowhere
until you give me what I'm owed.
All right, that's it! Shop is closed!
Everybody get up, get out! Let's go!
Come on!
I said, we ain't goin' no damn where!
I said get the hell out of my salon now!
Okay, seriously, what is happening right now?
The end of my businesses... both of them.
[music]
What did I say about personal calls during work hours?
Hayden, what do you want?
About what you think that you saw with me and Marie earlier...
You mean, when I saw you two all cuddled up in your office?
Yeah.
You might wanna mind ya business.
You already have me as an enemy.
Trust me, you don't want Marie as one, too.
Hayden, you must have forgotten that I'm the only one who
makes good on their threats around here.
Oh, so you really think that you're really on par with me,
quite literally being in bed with one of the few black women
on the Forbes 400 list?
Hayden, you might, heavy on the might, have impressed Ms. Marie
with your whack-ass missionary stroke,
but she's not in your corner.
Far from it, actually.
Don't forget that Andi is the reason she brought her business
to this firm.
Well, Andi no longer works here.
You answer to me now.
For the moment.
Do yourself a favor, Fatima.
I'm gonna need you to stay in your lane, okay?
Before I bring in somebody else to replace you that's
actually competent.
Hayden, you're playing a dangerous game here.
I'm telling you, it's not gonna end well for you.
Oh? More threats? Okay.
You know, I wonder what Robin would think when he finds out
what a thug in a dress you really are?
He'll probably think what everyone else thinks
around here, that you're just a little snitch bitch
whose balls haven't dropped yet.
Yeah.
Don't forget what I said.
Don't go running your mouth to Andi or anybody else
about me and Marie.
Or you're gonna regret it.
Hayden, the only thing I regret is this conversation, okay?
Buh-bye.
[door slams shut]
Bitch.
[music]
Jordan, what did you do that night?
[Joedan] You don't love him?
No.
[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.
No.
If you won't fight him,
I'll do it myself.
[music]
No.
He couldn't have.
Could he?
[music]
Tony, he's just trying to show you that he--
[Danni] Let's go back to water.
He's only trying to show you that he's in your corner.
Okay, he sees something special in you.
Clearly.
He sees, um, a project.
You know, like a Girlfriend Renovation
or some other makeover reality show.
I think you're being too hard on him.
I'm just sick of him trying to change me, you know?
I got a good-- I got an okay job.
Okay? I like myself.
I'm one of the best people I know.
-This is true. -[Danni] I'm great.
-You're amazing. -I'm wonderful.
[Sabrina] Amazing. The best, top tier.
-You know? -Yeah.
-I love me. -I love you.
-We love me. -We love you.
And um, I don't see what's wrong with being okay.
-I'm okay. -There's nothing wrong with it.
Nothing is wrong. Nothing at all.
As long as you're not lying to yourself.
Now I'm lying to myself, Sabrina?
That's not what I'm saying, Danni.
That's not what I mean.
What do you mean, friend?
Okay, so, just hear me out.
-All right? -Mm-hmm.
Tony, he has a big heart, right? He's very kind and sweet.
His approach is just a little...
-Assertive. -He's pushy.
He's pushy.
He's pushy like the people who are trying to sign you up
for a credit card.
You know, at the airport or the mall?
It's a good word. Yeah.
Okay, but just see it from Tony's perspective.
-Okay? -Well, help me out here.
That's exactly what he's doing. He's trying to help you out.
No, no, no, shh, shh, shh, shh, shh.
[Sabrina] Yes!
Why is it though, when a woman
tries to change a man, she's controlling,
but when men do it, they're just trying to help?
That's a good observation.
I'm not that drunk.
I definitely hear you.
I just don't want you to-- to feel like Tony is being...
-Not anything like, um-- -Don't say Preston.
Don't say-- Again, not that drunk.
I know Tony's not that hillbilly.
That married-ass hillbilly. Forget that hillbilly, Preston.
Yeah, forget that hillbilly and forget Tony.
Forget 'em.
-Hello, ladies. -Hey, guys.
[slurping]
[door opens]
Zac?
[Zac] What's up, baby? You came at the right time.
I got it smellin' good as a mother in here!
Oh, my gosh.
You won't believe the shit I'm dealing with at work today.
Yeah?
I just know Hayden is plotting and scheming against Andi.
That's when he's not ridin' my ass.
He better not be ridin' that ass.
I'm the only one that can be riding that ass.
But I have the perfect remedy for a messed up morning at work.
You see me. I'm trying my hardest to be--
Come on, now. I'm trying.
Can you eat one of my tacos, please?
Just try it. I'm telling you.
Stay-at-home Zac ain't workin' well.
Just try it, please.
-This is-- -Just try it.
-You don't have a soft shell? -You want the soft shell?
You're complainin'. I've been slaving over--
You're making a mess.
Wow, that is great.
You all right? You're stressed.
-You're stressing me out. -I'm stressed.
-Thank you. -Was it good?
-It was good, babe. -Okay.
So what's up? Talk to me.
I only got 30 minutes for lunch.
The shit show at work and this Atlanta traffic,
I'm about to pull my damn hair out.
Oh, we hair pulling now? I thought that was--
Damn!
No, no, no. We not doin' that.
[Zac] okay.
You seem aggravated. Do I need to come up there?
Does my fist need to have a conversation with Hayden's face?
I'm looking for something to do, trust me.
Please, I've been in this house all day.
Babe, calm down. All right?
I can handle Hayden. I'm just venting.
All right? No violence.
No violence, right.
Unless it's absolutely necessary,
then we can go there, but--
Well, speaking of violence,
I figured we at least could do some crime solving
while you at break.
Oh, so we are adding Robin to the suspect list?
Hell, yeah.
The way you said he's been actin'.
It's wild suspicious.
I mean, he has, babe, but I don't think he's a killer.
Are you serious?
Gary -- with that man money and his girl.
Those are two things any man would kill over.
Seriously.
Well, I guess you might as well go ahead
and print out Marie Willis, too.
You think that old lady coulda cut Gary's ass up?
Like, that don't even make no sense.
I mean, Andi did say that the two share a past.
Gary was clappin' them AARP cheeks, too?
This?
No, babe, no.
I don't even think Gary's her type.
She's more into the beta-male, -- -boy type like Hayden.
Ew, Ms. Marie and Hayden.
Yeah, I don't even want to think about that.
[Zac] No, me neither.
Well, what kind of past her and Gary got?
Well, I do remember Andi saying that
her and some of her friends invested in Gary
when he first got started.
-Okay. -Mm-hmm.
So, he screwed them over their money, too, right?
I know what that feel like.
Yeah. They also said that her friends lost big with Gary.
So, I mean, who's to say that Marie didn't, too?
Look, all I know is that there was no love lost
between Marie Willis and Gary at the time of his stabbing.
So, you think her and Hayden could be working together on it?
I... I don't know.
I mean, Hayden and Gary are boys.
I mean, yeah, but--
I mean, what if they had a falling out we don't know about?
I mean, that's true.
With friends like either one of them, who needs enemies?
Facts.
Oh, shit, babe. I gotta go.
I love you.
Damn, you just gonna eat and run?
Mm-hmm. Okay, I love you.
Listen, we can work on this when I get back home.
And then after that, you can eat my taco.
-How about that? -Is that a promise?
That is a promise and a fact. I got you.
-Threaten me with a good time. -[Fatima] I gotta go.

Roots to Riches wrecks yo edges! Roots to Riches wrecks yo edges!
Roots to Riches wrecks yo edges!
-This is a nightmare! -Ya think? Huh?
Maybe y'all should consider settling with this girl.
She wants 400K. I can't afford that.
Dang, 400K for some lost edges? Who knew?
My product didn't do this to her head.
You cannot be sure of that because you didn't have it
properly vetted. Come on, Pam. God.
Karen, Pam feels bad enough. Come on now.
You know what? You right.
This ain't even just your fault 'cause I should have had it
tested when I came on as a partner.
I just hope this doesn't cost us everything
that we've worked for.
No, it won't.
We are going to figure something out.
Roots to Riches wrecks yo edges! Roots to Riches wrecks yo edges!

What in blue blazes is going on in here?
[music]
Okay.
Jordan.
[music]
-Um, Jordan, I-- -No.
What's--what's wrong?
[Penelope] What's wrong?
You and Gary really think you can just ruin people's lives
and get away with it?
Wait, Penelope.
I can assure you that I had nothing to do
with what Gary did.
Jordan, talk to her.
Jordan.
Look, Penelope...
Okay, I don't understand what's happening.
What's wrong?
You don't understand?
Let's see if you understand this.
[dramatic music]
I did, but I -- found it!
[Karen] Next on Sistas...
Roots to Riches wrecks yo edges!
What in blue blazes is going on in here, Karen, Pam?
What is this?
Well, you got your nose in a book and you're makin' mistakes.
Go through Andi's files. Find me discrepancies.
You volunteered away my nights, my weekend
for a career I don't even -- want!
Did you just say, "Nuggets?" Say it again.
-Nuggets. -You said, "Nuggets!"
You said, "Nuggets!"
