You all think I stabbed Gary?
Wait, no. [chuckles]
You can't be serious. Y'all are not serious.
Is this a joke?
[Woman] Previously on Sistas...
I did not stab Gary!
I am a lawyer. Do you remember that?
So was Ted Bundy, baby.
Gary pissed off half of Atlanta anyway .
So anyone could have a motive.
[Fatima] I feel like all this shit with Gary,
I feel like it might jeopardize her managing partner gig.
Hudson.
Where do you think you're going, Andi?
I said, where do you think you're going, Andi?
I'm going to see Gary.
Have you seen him? Is he okay?
You can cut the damsel in distress act, Andi.
What are you talking about?
Oh, God, I know it must be exhausting
playing the victim all the time.
Okay, first of all, you need to lower your tone
and take some of that bass out of your voice.
Oh, so she does have an assertive side.
See, you've managed to convince everyone around you
that you're naive and helpless
when, actually, you know exactly what you're doing.
And what am I doing, Hudson?
You must think I'm stupid.
You know, this really isn't the time or the place
to be making a scene.
[Hudson] Well, then leave.
Isn't that what you always wanted,
to be as far away from Gary as possible?
No. As I just told you, I am here to see if he's okay.
Oh, give me a break. You don't give a damn about Gary.
You just wanna laugh in his dying face.
Hudson, why would I wanna do that?
Because everything has a funny way
of always turning to shit when you're around, Andi.
And, somehow, you always manage to walk out clean.
I am not gonna sit here and be berated
by someone who doesn't even know me.
Oh, I know you more than you think.
And, uh, I've been watching you
for longer than you realize, Ms. Barns.
Thanks for letting me know.
I'll be sure to file a restraining order
when I get to the office. Move out of my way.
And if I don't,
will I get a knife to my chest too?
You know I did not stab, Gary. You know that.
Well, who did you get to do your dirty work, then?
I knew you would be a problem,
but Gary was too blinded by love.
-Love? -Yes, love.
He loved you, Andi.
And now he's in the hospital, fighting for his life for it.
I'm not gonna let you flip this on me.
Not when you sat there like a lapdog,
watching as Gary ruined people's lives.
And you haven't ruined people's lives, Andi?
It should be you fighting for your life
in that hospital bed, not Gary.
-- you, Hudson.
I swear, if I find out that you know something
about who stabbed Gary...
For the last time, I don't know who stabbed Gary.
But I am wishing that they come back
and stab you next.
Move out of my way.
Get the -- back!

Hey! Hey!
Why y'all making a fuss up in these people hospital?
I am here to see my fiancé.
[Clyde] Who? Borders?
Yes, Gary Borders.
Oh, that's who I'm on duty for.
Yes, that's who you're supposed to be watching.
Where were you?
Well, I got a little hungry,
so I went and got something to eat
at that place down the street.
They make an amazing bacon, egg, and cheese sandwich.
Then I got me some freshly squeezed orange juice.
But extra pulp. See, a lot of people don't know this,
but the pulp reduce the sugar in the blood.
Do you know that?
I did not know that, Officer, uh...
-Uh, Clyde. -[Andi] Clyde.
Officer Clyde. And you are?
The person that you're supposed to escort off the premises.
I told you to leave.
Who do you think you are?
Officer Clyde, I would like to see my fiancé
and not be harassed by this man.
Well, I don't see why you have to stand out here
if you the man's fiancée.
Thank you.
He doesn't have the power to say that.
-And why not? -Yeah, why not?
Because I have Gary's power of attorney.
Was that call work-related?
Uh. Yes. Yes, it was.
What was it about?
Oh, nothing that concerns you.
You were calling Andi, weren't you?
Robin, how can I help you?
I'm trying to stay on tasks like you asked.
Okay. Look, Fatima, I know
that you and Andi are more than just work colleagues.
You're friends.
It's your girl, you gonna have her back, I know that.
Robin, what does that have to do with anything?
I want you to know
that I'm also looking out for her.
So you say.
I'm sorry, have I done anything to suggest otherwise?
Robin, can I be honest?
Like not get fired kinda honest?
Please do.
Um, I'm sorry. Could you give us a minute?
Thank you so much.
Okay, look, I know that you and Andi's relationship
goes beyond this firm.
And from what I understand, that's all in the past.
But that doesn't mean I can automatically trust you
or that Andi should either.
That's what I'm trying to tell you, you can trust me.
We are on the same team here.
And do I need to remind you I'm the only reason
that Andi's not sitting in the interrogation room or worse?
Mm, and I am sure she is thankful
that you came to help her,
but, for me, that brings up another question.
Like, why were you there in the first place?
What are the odds?
Gary tries to ruin the firm, Leeland dies,
and then here you are.
You just come right in, in the nick of time
when Andi needs your aid.
You said so yourself, Fatima,
we have a history, I still care for Andi.
I'm not sure if caring for her is good.
It kinda drives men crazy.
Well, Fatima, I am not Gary
and I'm not any of those other guys.
Okay, but, seriously, do you believe
that I could've orchestrated all of this mess
just so that I could swoop in and save the day for Andi?
Come on. I was in the UK.
I was setting up the branch of the firm.
-[Fatima] Mm-hmm. -When I heard
of Leeland's passing, I decided to drop everything,
hop in the first flight back to Atlanta.
It's merely coincidence that I was here
-when she needed me. -[Fatima] Yeah.
What do I need to tell you to make you believe
that Andi's not the reason I came back?
I have a vested interest in this firm, okay?
I'm here to make sure it stays afloat, that's it.
Mm-hmm, and Andi is more than capable
of running the firm.
I mean, the partners all but handed her the reins
before Gary was stabbed.
[Robin] Yes, and once all of this is behind her,
I firmly believe she will make a wonderful managing partner.
That is as long as her work does not fall off in the interim.
I will make sure that doesn't happen.
Fantastic.
Great. You will be a big help to Hayden, I'm sure of that.
I've asked him to temporarily cover her caseload.
Yeah. Hayden couldn't wait to tell me
that he was taking over Andi's cases.
I just gotta question, why the -- would you do that?
Ooh, um, I did not mean that.
Actually, I did mean that but not like that.
[Robin] Mm.
That was unprofessional and, um, disrespectful.
-I'm sorry about that. -It's okay.
I understand your frustration.
Look, he doesn't like you, me, or Andi.
What kind of sense does that make?
Look...
And the -- a damn tax attorney.
He doesn't know nothing about divorce law.
Fatima, you do not need to convince me
that Hayden's out of his depth.
I'm sure that his caseload plus Andi's
will keep him very busy.
[Fatima] Yeah, busy trying to mess everything up
before Andi comes back.
Which is why I need you there to keep an eye on him.
Under the guise of helping him, of course.
Hmm, Robin, I can't. Anything but Hayden, just...
You can and you will.
I need to keep Hayden occupied and out of the partner's ears.
I need you there to help keep him honest.
Wait, so what Hayden said was true?
Hayden is now my...
I can't even say it.
Your boss.
-Oof! -Yes.
For the time being.
Okay. Lord be with me.
And everybody else 'cause...
-Okay. -We got this.
We got this.
Remember, same team.
Same team. [chuckles awkwardly]
Lord, give me strength. Gonna kill this --.
How is my favorite new employee?
Where are you going?
All right, girl. You got this.
Do these little hours, get in, get out, okay?
No murder mysteries, no stabbings, no negativity.
-Amen. -Hey, baby.
Forgot to say "No --." Forgot.
-[Tony] What? -Nothing. Hey, babe.
So, uh, do you remember how I said I have a surprise for you?
All right, I don't see anything in your hands.
It's not a --.
I don't have time for riddles. What is it?
Okay, this is a brochure
For the Higher Airline leadership training initiative.
It sure is.
-Aren't you already a leader? -I am a leader,
but submissions closed yesterday for that program,
but guess who got you in?
Me? You got me?
Yes. You.
-You didn't. -Oh, yes, I did.
Why'd you go and do a thing like that for?
Without even asking me.
It's a lot of trouble to go through.
It was, and it was last-minute, so I had to move fast.
Danni, [knocks on counter] that's a great program.
Okay. What do I have to do?
-Okay, so it's free training. -[Danni] Mm-hmm.
It's gonna allow you to learn from people
in upper-level management such as myself.
There's gonna be workshops, seminars, luncheons.
There's also gonna be...
Okay, so, so it's paid. That sounds like a lot to...
[Tony] Paid, no, no, it's not paid.
And there will be some after-hours training
in addition to some required workshops on the weekends.
Tony, this sounds like a scam.
It's a pyramid scheme, right?
Girl, you're crazy. This is the Higher and Higher Airlines.
When I think of a surprise,
I think, you know, like, a nice jewelry box,
and expensive gift, but if you go small,
like a sweet treat, you know,
cupcake, chocolate-covered strawberries,
I honestly would've been okay
with, you know, having it in your office.
But after dating me, for this amount of time,
you thought, "I know what I'll get Danni.
More work headaches. For free."
That's what you thought I would like.
Wait a second. You, you're seriously not happy about this?
I'm seriously not happy about this.
[Fatima] Leave me alone, Hayden.
Hold on, let me talk to you real quick.
-Get out. -Nope.
See, I was just out there, watching you talk to Robin
and I was just waiting for this look
to go across your face.
Yeah, that look right there.
That's when I knew that Robin had confirmed the good news.
Yes, Hayden, Robin told me
that you'll be taking over Andi's cases.
And?
And what?
And I'm your new boss.
You better learn how to make a pair of lattes
if you wanna keep your new boss happy.
Or I can break a pair of legs. How about that?
Ah, you know what, Fatima?
I'm gonna do something for you.
I'm gonna teach you some respect.
Some professionalism.
Hayden, you can't teach me a damn thing.
Get out of my face with this shit.
You know what? I'm really, really looking forward
to Andi going to prison
'cause then I can finally fire you.
Andi ain't going nowhere and neither am I.
Andi had nothing to do with Leeland's passing.
And she damn sure didn't stab Gary.
For an innocent woman,
a lot of dead people keep popping up near her.
RIP Leeland.
You good, babe?
Uh, no, she's not good, actually.
She's wasting company time.
She's got a personal guest here when she should be hard at work,
which is something that we rarely see her do around here.
This -- really feeling himself, huh?
You have no idea.
Oh, what you bring me?
Yo, are you stupid?
Have you lost your mind?
Do I gotta drag you up and down them stairs again?
Zac, just...
Hey, I didn't want no bagels anyway, bro. Chill.
It's fine, just...
Oh, what, you didn't tell him the good news?
Somebody better say something.
I'm Fatima's new boss.
Temporary boss.
Who decided that?
Robin.
Robin is back?
Long story, babe.
Okay, enough of the small talk, please.
Fatima, felon bae no longer allowed on the premises, okay?
You guys need to do your little conjugal visits elsewhere.
This is a place of business.
Hayden, can you just relax?
He just brought me a mid-morning snack. Chill.
Chill? She done enough chilling for the both of us, okay?
So get him out of here, get back to work.
You really forgot what my fists feel like, don't you?
Oh. Oh, okay, so you wanna attack your girl's boss?
That's not very smart, Zac.
Babe, it's fine. I know how to handle Hayden.
Oh, I believe her.
She has definitely handled me before.
[Fatima] Whoa, babe, babe, babe.
-Ooh! Ooh-hoo-hoo! -Get your man.
Get your man. Boy's out of control.
Now, look, you got five minutes
to get this felon up out my office
or I'm calling security.
Do you understand, Fatima?
Fatima.
Yes, Hayden, I understand.
-Good girl. -"Good..."
[Hayden] I like the way you said that.
Get the -- out my face.
Y'all have a nice day, okay? Good to see you, bro.
[Maurice] Okay, here is your receipt.
Try to have a day as beautiful as I am.
Good luck.
Oh, yes, time for tea.
Time for tea, time for tea, come on.
Tell me what happened. I want to know every detail
from top to bottom, who stabbed him?
Good morning, Maurice. Hello.
I don't have time for pleasantries.
I'm here working for the man,
slaving my titties over a hot calculator
day and night.
Why are you always so dramatic?
Why don't you ever follow fashion rules?
There is nothing wrong with my outfit.
There's nothing right with it.
Girl, tell me what happened.
I want to know every detail.
Picture it this way,
like a scene from Set It Off,
you, the girls, walk in.
You catching one type of a white omen.
They rubbing, they tussling.
Danni, who looks like a man, is Cleo.
She jumps him.
Maurice, we were at a wedding in a banquet hall.
Wait, that man got stabbed in a suit?
He got cut in a tux?
Girl, that is nasty work.
Yeah, I know.
Oh, my God, I can't even believe it happened myself.
I'm still trying to wrap my mind around it.
I don't know why you can't believe it, girl.
The way he carried on at the baby shower,
he had it coming.
I'm surprised he didn't get his ass beat
like a democratic nominee in a Florida primary.
Maurice, there's literally a man dying in ICU right now
and all you're doing is making jokes.
Do you ever feel bad or...
Hm-hmm, and you shouldn't either.
He had it coming. You know what they say.
You play stupid games...
"You win stupid prizes," I know.
No, no, no, you win a first-class trip
to Grady Memorial Hospital.
Well, honestly, I think he went to Vanguard.
[Paige] Okay, who did it?
[Maurice yelling fearfully]
Maurice. Get up.
[Maurice] Hm-hmm, that's an angry white woman.
You think I'm about to be in the hospital next to Gary
sleeping in a bed?
-Get up. -[Maurice] Hm-hmm.
[Maurice] Who is it?
It's Paige.
What is he doing here?
I belong here and I can hear you.
What do you want, Paige?
Justice. That's what I want.
And it is what I'm gonna get.
So is this him?
What?
I'm sorry, friend girl, are you referring to me?
Depends. Are you the one
Sabrina used to tarnish my reputation?
What are you talking about, Paige?
You couldn't get the branch manager job on your own
so you had someone do your dirty work for you.
Excuse you.
I got this job because I deserved it, okay?
And nobody here works harder than me
and I'm not gonna let you make me feel
like I did something I didn't do.
Okay, so then who did it then?
[Sabrina] Did what?
Someone called corporate and said
that I was taking back shots
and giving -- to random customers in the parking.
I don't even know what back shots are.
I had to look it up
on something called urbandictionary.com.
Who said that?
Why you looking at me?
It's not my fault that you decided to pass out
-- deposits behind the back.
I did not do that. You take that back!
Girl, if you don't put that unmanicured, gnarled,
"I just got out of the shower," wrinkled-ass finger
out of my face, I'm going to get reparations
for hopping over this counter.
You hear that, Sabrina?
Your little gay minion just threatened me.
[gasps] Who you calling gay?
Maurice, you're gay.
Oh. [gasps] Who you calling a minion?
You know, I cannot wait to hear what HR has to say
about you threatening a fellow employee.
Paige, did you walk into the wall
when you came in here because you no longer work here?
Remember?
Yeah, you've been replaced by a better qualified person
and a better-looking one.
Oh, see, that's where you're both wrong.
I had my lawyer call the bank's corporate office.
See, they have zero evidence of me committing
those tawdry, shameful acts I am accused of.
And I threatened to sue them
if they didn't give me my job back.
And guess what? They caved.
Looks like your little plan
to get rid of me, Sabrina, backfired.
See you made some changes around here.
Looks pretty good.
But it will look even more presentable
now that I'm back.
-We're in a new... -Presentable?
Dear, I know that you don't have the Caucacity
to come in here and try to take what's mine.
I was here first.
What? "Caucacity"? What the hell is Caucacity?
Maybe you should've looked that up
in the urbandictionary.com.
It's Caucasian audacity,
the unmitigated gall of y'all.
White privilege.
-I can keep going all day. -Okay, okay, Maurice.
Please just go over there.
-Paige. -Yes.
Do me a favor and please go to the HR office
and get me some proof, some paperwork,
that you actually work here.
Otherwise, the next time you step foot into this bank,
mm, I will drag you out myself.
Tsk, dragger.
This means war.
[imitates preppy accent] This means war.
I didn't say it like that.
You and what army, buddy?
Thought you'd be more excited.
This could be good for you, Danny.
Good? Good how?
Spending my nights and weekends,
the only thing I really have left,
with some stiff-ass managers?
"Stiff"? Relax.
Danni, you should be thinking
career advancement opportunities.
Has it ever occurred to you
that I am not trying to advance this career?
That this little job serves its purpose
as it is?
I guess I don't get it.
Karen just got a new shop.
Sabrina got promoted at the bank.
Andi's up for partner.
That's good for them. What does it have to do with me?
I'm thinking closing the sista circle,
putting some blessings in there for Danni.
I don't know. I just...
I thought you wanna better yourself too, so...
Better myself? Wow.
Whoa, wait, wait. I didn't mean it like...
Better myself?
Danni, come on. I was only trying to help.
I know what you were trying to do
and I don't know who this woman is.
Maybe it's your ex-wife,
some woman you follow on the Internet,
whoever she is, I am not her,
and I think you should go date that bitch.
And why would Gary give you his power of attorney?
Well, I guess because Gary knows
how to keep love and trust separate.
Um, yeah, Ms. Barns, is it?
Yes, Andrea Barns Esquire,
which is why I'm questioning the validity of this document.
Oh, sookie-sookie, now.
We got us a black lady lawyer.
Ain't that nice?
Well, uh, Officer Clyde here
don't know much about statues and lemontations.
But he can read.
And it says right here that Mr. Hudson,
who I assume is the white man in the suit,
Mr. Hudson does, in fact, have power of attorney.
Can I see that, Officer Clyde?
Just give it up and go home, Andi.
I've had enough of this concerned, frantic fiancée.
It's gonna get you nowhere.
And, honestly, you're embarrassing yourself.
I apologize. Nothing I can do.
Would you like me to walk you out?
No, thank you. I'm fine for now.
-Andi. -Get your hands off of me.
[Hudson] I've had a change of heart.
I thought it might be a good idea
for Gary to see his beloved fiancée.
It might be exactly what he needs.
I hate him. Like, hate...
That makes two of us.
So let me get this straight.
Robin is back and hired him.
I don't get it.
Yeah, he claims it's all
some "keep your enemies close" shit. I don't know.
See, -- like that be outsmarting themself.
I just don't know what Robin's thinking,
but whatever it is, I don't like it.
I don't like Hayden being in your face every day either.
If I'm being honest, I just, I feel like
Robin's trying to keep me busy or distracted.
I don't know.
But why?
His timing is just suspicious.
I mean, do you think Robin could've done it?
Done it.
-[Zac] Oh, you mean with Gary? -Yes.
I mean, I mean, he got the means
if he wanted to get somebody like that.
You know what I'm saying? But what would be the reason?
[Fatima] Well, when Robin was with Andi,
Gary made that -- life a living hell.
So you thinking he came back for revenge?
That or to get Andi back. Maybe both.
I don't know. Maybe I'm wrong.
You don't think that's kinda crazy?
Like, to kill your ex's ex to get back with your ex.
'Cause he not even, like, the ex.
He the ex ex.
Damn, Andi been running through them, hasn't she?
Okay, relax, Mr. Multiple Baby Mommas.
Point taken.
I thought that was my snack.
Oh, it is your snack.
It's just the detective work kinda got me hungry.
I'll share, though.
Mm-hmm, yeah, no, I'm good.
I don't have much of an appetite.
You okay?
Yeah, I'm good.
-Are you sure? -Yeah.
Listen, don't let these fools stress you out,
especially not Hayden.
Yeah, that's easier said than done.
Hey, hey, hey.
We gonna help Andi, trust me.
I just need you to take care of yourself first.
I need you to stop eating.
That smell is making me nauseous.
-Oh, my bad. -Yeah.
Sorry.
No, I'm sorry...
FYI, security will be here to take out the trash in a second.
Get to work.
He's such a bitch.
I'ma kill him. I need to leave.
[Fatima] If I don't do it first.
I'ma take this, all right?
Mm, you got these greasy lips.
You love my greasy lips.
I do, I do.
-No, no, no? -Yeah, I smell it.
Can I get another?
-I love you, all right? -I love you too, Zac.
This was good, by the way, I just...
I bet it is.
Can I just hit him on the way out?
-Like, just once. -No, babe, no.
-Love you. -Thank you. I love you too.
Good Lord.

[song continues on radio]
Hey, boss baby.
Hey, Pam.
Thank you for opening that for me.
Did you get all the supplies inside?
I sure did and it only took a couple of minutes.
Oh, couple minutes, huh?
That means that you got Trey to do it?
Work smarter, not harder, right?
Okay, so while you got your man doing your work for you,
I'll go ahead and get this business plan together
by myself.
You ain't finished that yet?
-Excuse you? -[Pam] Look.
You the brains of this. I am the beauty.
[Karen clears throat]
Although, you are quite beautiful yourself.
Mm-hmm, thank you, Pam.
But, for real,
when are you gonna get this business plan done?
I need to give Marie a heads-up.
It takes more than five minutes to put it together, okay?
There's the cashflows, the details, the projections...
Don't they got an app for that?
AI or something?
Okay, Pam, I'm not even gonna entertain this foolishness.
I'ma head back to the office, relax,
be at peace, before I jump into work.
Thank you very much.
Uh, excuse me.
Where the owner of the shop at?
[murmurs]
Hi. What do you need?
-Are you the owner? -No.
Okay, well, I need you to back up out my face
and get whoever's in charge here.
Oh, uh-uh, you don't come up in here, being rude.
Owner! Owner! Hello!
It's okay, Pam, I got this.
Are you the person that's in charge
or, what, you just the help too?
Oh, uh-uh.
This is my salon and I'd appreciate it
if you don't refer to me or my employees as the help.
-Mm. -[Karen] Now if you calm down,
I could help you with whatever you like.
Yeah, well, you wanna know what I'd appreciate?
It you weren't selling two-bit ass products
out of this bullshit shop!
What are you talking about?
Roots to Riches done -- up my whole head!
Oh, my Lord.
I get that you're mad for whatever reason,
but can we just, can we talk about this
back in my office in private?
There you go. You still trying to tell me
where to go, what to do, and how to say it...
Look, Danni, if I'm being honest,
you could, you could use a little guidance.
Do you hear how patronizing you sound?
You, you, you clearly don't hear it.
Okay, um, people are staring.
Let them stare.
Okay, look, what kind of man would I be
if I saw an opportunity to help my woman
and I didn't take it?
The kind of man that understands his woman
is perfectly capable of helping herself.
After all, I did get this stupid job without you.
You know, if you wanna guide someone so bad, Tony,
this what you do. You hop on that tram,
you catch you a flight to Italy,
and you go guide them badass kids of yours.
Okay, bringing my kids into it,
Danni, that's where we're going now?
Clearly, you don't realize I'm a grown woman.
And you wanna guide someone so badly,
so I just thought I'd remind you
that there are children you can guide.
Okay? This whole superhero thing
I don't know where you picked up,
but you really need to take the cape off.
Just, like, Captain Condescending.
Now we're doing name-calling.
You know what? I hear it now. I hear it.
That's your pride talking.
My pride or your ego?
Danni, you're projecting, like you always do.
All I was trying to do was help.
I'm projecting? But I didn't ask for help.
Tony, you done go too damn far this time.
-Yes. -[Tony] All right.
You know what? Fine. I'll...
I'll get you removed from the leadership...
Oh, hell you will. How that's gonna look?
You pull strings to get me in the program,
then I quit before it starts?
I can't win for losing.
So, you started it.
Danni, what do you want from me?
I want you to realize
that I don't need you to make my decisions for me.
I'm perfectly capable of doing that myself.
Do you understand that or should I break it down?
I got it. I can do that.
Great.
Ooh-ooh-ooh!
Baby, you woke Paige up.
You hear me? That was too good.
Wow.
I'm just over being blamed for things I didn't do.
Oh, Sabrina, don't worry about that stuff.
That -- -sucking stuff, listen,
if anybody's gonna take the blame for that,
it's gonna be me.
This isn't even about Paige.
This morning, I was in an interrogation room again
because a cop is trying to blame me
for something that I didn't even do.
Trying to put me back in jail.
Girl, you are not going back to jail.
We should never been in jail in the first place.
Do you know, even as a little kid,
I've always been a rule-follower?
[melancholy music]
I always try really hard to be a good person, you know?
Too hard [indistinct].
That's probably the point.
Even with my girls,
I pride myself on having their back
and making sure that everybody else is okay.
But then I ask myself, "What about me?"
I just feel like I'm constantly opening myself up,
you know, and being vulnerable all the time.
I can't even tell you how many times
I had to swallow my words
and shrink myself
just so that other people could be seen and heard.
Maurice, when is it my time to bask in good karma?
Why do I feel like I'm getting punished all the time
for things I'm not doing?
Um.
It's like all the rule-following
and the do-good-ing,
what is it for?
For people to just take and take
and take, and then what do I get? Nothing?
I don't know, Maurice.
I'm just tired of constantly putting people above me,
and then they leave me
in a worse position than they found me.
I don't...
Sabrina.
I'm tired, Maurice.
Sabrina, are you gonna die today?
No, I mean, I hope not.
Why would you even ask that?
Because, if that's not the plan,
then you still have life to live
and a chance to do it right.
Come on.
Maurice, I just don't wanna be on my deathbed,
thinking about my life
and how I played a side character.
Girl, I just saw you standing there, proudly,
in a sunflower outfit,
telling a white bitch
that you would drag her behind the bank.
That's main character energy.
And we just need to get more of that.
Deal?
Yeah.
Did you see the performance?
Like she was trying to get an Academy Award.
Girl, please.
You gonna be all right.
Thank you
for always, always listening with your heart.
That's what I'm here for.
Now I will have to invoice you for my services.
What are you doing?
I want a hand hug.
That's nasty.
Maurice, please.
I charge for touching.
Time to get them nails done.
Thank you.
-I love you, girl -I love you more.
That'll be $1.50.
I'll just take it out of your paycheck.
What's that?
Get back to work.
What, is Paige gonna come take my job?
They take everything.
Everything.
Get some more room up in here.
I don't like this new office.
It's a ghetto.
At least I have one.
Look what y'all did to me!
Ma'am, we don't know what caused that.
Roots to Riches was the only thing
that I used on my edges, and now they just gone!
Gone with the wind like that Scarlett O'Hara Johanssen.
You know the one who had all them happy slaves in the movie.
Our products are safe.
We tested them on all types of hair.
Oh, yeah, well, tell that to my edges.
Wherever they may be!
Okay, look, ma'am, I don't know if we can help you,
but we definitely can't do nothing
till you calm down.
We could get you a really good wig
until it grow back.
Oh, oh, so you trying to be funny?
Ha? Okay, yeah, it's gonna be
real funny when I let the world know
what y'all did to me.
That's right, y'all! Roots to Riches
is out here making people hair fall the -- out!
Don't let them play. Y'all hair's gonna run.
Please, go, you gonna be bald as an eagle
just like me.
[Pam] Don't pay her no mind, y'all.
She doesn't know what she talking about.
Roots to Riches is a scam!
[Pam] No, it ain't.
You know what? We trying to help you,
but if you just gonna cause a scene,
I'ma have to ask you to leave.
-Leave? -[Karen] Yes, leave.
-Leave? -Uh-huh.
Leave and go where?
Looking like George Jefferson.
People used to say that my best feature
was my baby hairs.
But now I look like Chilli from TLC.
And now y'all got me out here
looking like Boo-Boo, the damn bald-headed fool!
Oh, my gosh.
Y'all done gave me Aloe Vera.
Are you talking about Alopecia?
Shit, one of them hos...
Uh-uh, she looking for attention.
Attention? Oh, attention, okay. Yep, I got y'all attention.
I'm live, y'all, here at the scene of a crime.
No crime was committed.
They're not even remorseful for what they did to me.
After all of the pain and the suffering
that this has caused me.
Again, what proof do you have that Roots to Riches...
I got my receipt, girl.
-That don't mean nothing. -I'm talking to the owner.
Help.
And you're looking at the co-owner
of Roots to Riches right here.
Oh, so this is your fault.
Okay. Y'all go home and hide your edges
where Roots to Riches can't find them.
[Karen] Can we go back to my office
and talk about this, please?
I ain't going nowhere with you two edge-scalpers.
Okay, then what would you like us to do for you?
$400,000, please.
$400K? Bitch, you must've lost
some brain cells with those edges.
[Karen] I know that's right.
Yeah? Well, guess what.
You better pay up or I'ma sue you for everything you got.
Including this salon. How about that?
Oh, my God.
How did we get here?
How did things go so bad so fast?
Remember the first day I fell in love with you?
I really did love you, Gary.
What the hell are you doing here?
I left her.
I'm moving in.
Yes.
Thank you.
You kidding me?
I wanted to be the first face you saw on your birthday.
I know that and thank you.
I let my guard down with you.
I trusted you.
I loved you.
I gave you chance after chance
to prove to me that you could be the man
that I needed you to be.
You couldn't.
Took me far to long to realize
that you couldn't be the man that I needed you to be.
But why? Why this?
Gary, was it worth it?
Why did you do this?
Why did you put me through all of this?
Please, just...
I can't, I can't stand to see you like this.
Gary. You're awake.
Oh, I'm so happy.
Wait, something's not- Hey, someone come!
I need help! Something's not right!
Please! Oh, my God! Gary!
Hold on, one second! Hold on!
Wait, no!
Help him!
[Maurice] This pen dry as the Sahara Desert.
I don't know why she got these new pens.
What are you doing?
[Woman] Next on Sistas...
[background arguing]
Maurice and Paige are gonna be the death of me.
I'm gonna be right back.
I shouldn't have let you sell your homemade stuff at my salon!
Oh, so now you trying to backpedal?
The hell you doing in my office?
Well, hello, Hayden, did you miss me?
Uh, Dr. Reid. Is there any news
on what's going on here?
Hey, what's going on here?
