MADDI: Previously on Southern Hospitality...
- TJ: Hi! - I'm so proud of you. One year.
MADDI: I tried my best to work with TJ and Brad.
Do any of you wanna get sick tomorrow
- and have a Cheater Wiener? - MADDI: And then...
I found out about this sh-- four hours before the reunion!
- And you still showed up. - Bitch, so did you!
...I completely lost it.
It all started four years ago...
[rewinding]
He was getting his dick sucked in the back alleyway last year.
...when I spilled the tea on Brad's back alley BJ.
- Quit ----ing lying. - Bitch, I was out there.
- I saw you! - BRAD: Peace! See ya, bitch!
MADDI: ...that burned him so bad...
That's ----ed up, Maddi. That's ----ed up!
MADDI: ...he started a rumor about my boyfriend.
Trevor was with one of my clients.
She told me that they were, like, making out.
Wait, wait, wait, wait. Are you sure they made out, though?
That's what she told me.
MADDI: ...which blew up my relationship.
You're a ----ing liar! You told me she texted you
and you blew her off! [bleep] you!
But little did I know, Brad's revenge rumor
was a full-blown lie.
We had to tell Maddi the truth.
Trevor never cheated with Sammie. Brad made it all up.
MADDI: And my so-called friends were in on it.
This goes back to the group chat.
- Oh, my God. - So everyone knew Trevor
had not cheated on Maddi?
MADDI: The damage from the group chat
lasted longer than a New York minute.
I went through hell after New York, you know?
And when Joe confronted Brad and TJ...
I want you guys to make amends and take accountability--
Whoa, whoa, whoa! What?
They thought the beef was over. Newsflash...
it isn't.
- You lie and you lie-- - Go [bleep] yourself.
- Joe-- No. No. Stop it. - Maddi. Maddi. Maddi.
- This is-- Chill. - Stop it. Back up. Back up.
Not even close.
TJ: I think you have a hard time with the truth.
Honey, I got the truth. I've read the truth. I've got it!
Baby, I could ruin your ----ing year
if I showed you the mean sh-- they said about you.
Do it. Do it. Because we were in a good place.
- TJ: I'm not gonna do that. - We were in a good place.
Were we? I don't know if we've ever been in a good place.
- You lie and you lie-- - Go [bleep] yourself.
- Joe-- You lie-- - Guys, guys, guys!
- Maddi. Maddi. Maddi. - No. No. No. Stop it.
- Stop it. Back up. Back up. - No, walk away. Walk away.
That's enough. People are staring at us from the street.
I wanted to have a normal conversation with you,
but you started yelling and getting ridiculous.
Because you keep getting combative and defensive.
BRAD: How did I get combative?
Thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you.
- No, I'm defending you. - Bitch, I have the right to.
- I have the right to. - JOE: I know you do--
- I have the right to. - Not here. Not here.
You took it where it is. We're here because you're yelling.
- Okay, we'll go private. - All right, cool. Let's roll.
MADDI: Right here. No, Joe, not you. ----ing leave.
- BRAD: Thank you. - JOE: We're right next to--
Get the [bleep] out of here.
Okay. Now you're just yelling at everyone.
We all know who wears the pants in this relationship,
and it's not Joe.
They need to duke it out for a second without the drama.
This is crazy, all this drama going down.
JOE: My ideal world is they become friends after this.
I apologized and you said it was fine after the reunion.
I thought we were dropping it completely, and then you keep
- going back with jabs. - Yes, because you keep
- doubling down. - How am I doubling down?
You're doubling down saying, oh, I said this at the reunion.
When did we talk at the reunion about this?
When I'm crashing out crying?
No, you said "I appreciate the accountability and the apology."
Literally, those words left your mouth.
And then after the reunion, you immediately said that, like,
"I wanna drop this completely and, like, move on from it."
MADDI: That's the part that never happened. That never
- happened at the reunion. - Maddi...
This past year, we met in the hotel lobby.
- I saw Emmy, I saw Will. - Yes.
- I saw the whole entire staff. - Yes, and Emmy and Will did not
hang out with us at all after the reunion.
Yes, so I went up to them, and I found out that
you were outside her room recording.
You're not making any sense.
Brad didn't check in on me after the reunion. Emmy did.
And Emmy told me that Brad
was stalking her outside of her hotel room.
Brad's got plenty of time to check in on Emmy's hotel room,
but none to check in on me, whose life he just blew up.
You're not making sense. You're literally not making sense.
"Lower your ----ing voice. You're dead to me too, bitch."
Right. I could hear her through the wall, and she said
"Brad and TJ are ----ing dead to me" after sitting on
the reunion stage crying, saying how she wanted to try
and make a relationship with us.
I texted her and said, "You're dead to me too, bitch,"
because she said it first.
She also went after I texted her that
and said I made her feel unsafe.
- That's not cool. - That's not cool.
Yeah, it's ----ed up.
After I heard Emmy's rant,
screaming behind closed doors in a hotel room,
I'm getting ready to go to the club, and then I get a text
from someone that we work with, and the text says...
Like, that's dangerous. That's why I'm ----ing pissed at Emmy.
Using the verbiage "unsafe,"
specifically when it comes to me...
As a Black man, you have no idea what that can do
not only to my reputation, that can put me in jail.
Was I making Emmy feel unsafe all the times that we hung out,
all the times that I supported her,
all the times I was holding her while she was crying,
the times where I was at her home,
the times I was in her parents' home?
Like, when have I ever made Emmy feel unsafe
in any sort of capacity?
I'll handle Emmy later, because we are not good.
I do not [bleep] with her, at all.
I'm gonna focus on you, because I thought we were good.
- Okay. - What are you looking for here?
I wanna let go of this resentment. I wanna move on.
I'm saying that I'm hurt, and I would like to be
- validated about my experience. - I understand. Okay.
- That's fine. - Because honestly, I feel like
y'all ----ing shook my world up.
Like, I'm not kidding you. My reality was ----ing blown up.
- I've never doubted that. - I blew up my own relationship
because I trusted you guys. Like...
I did love him. Like, a lot.
I'm happy. I am.
- A lot. - I know. I know.
It's hard not to think about the past and, like, feel like
a piece of ----ing sh-- for the way that I trusted y'all
and didn't trust my partner.
I feel guilt for smashing his phone
and, like, pulling up with a shovel
and freaking out at the party.
- You can sit the [bleep] down. - Maddi!
- We're done. We're done.
After leaving a relationship with a cheater,
you feel pretty ----ing empowered, and that was all
a ----ing delusion in my head that wasn't real.
Like, I just feel like a ----ing idiot.
I'm just ----ing hurt.
Brad, like, you used to pretty much, like, live at my house.
Like, I was one of your first ----ing clients.
Like, I feel like we were so tight.
We'd go to parties together, all this stuff. I'm like--
I don't know how to move forward from here,
- and I wanna move forward. - Okay, well, I'm glad
you're telling me that now, because now that I know,
- we can do something about it. - I wanna let it go.
Obviously I get emotional talking about my past.
I was ----ing 22, toxic as sh--. So were ----ing you.
Maddi is a friend of mine,
and I never wanna see her cry, and I never wanna see her hurt.
I was feeling vengeful because
of some outrageous, outlandish rumor,
and, you know, I'm genuinely, genuinely sorry.
And if I knew that it would have this big of a ripple effect,
I wouldn't have done it in the first place.
I appreciate you having this conversation with me
so that we can move forward,
because I wanna build that trust with you.
Again, I'm telling you, I'm so willing to move forward.
And I am trying to work on, like, my dark side.
So, like, let's move forward, and we'll drop it and move on.
Yeah.
[upbeat music]
Mia, don't look.
I'm tired. I'm a little hungover.
I'm tired, but...
Did you have fun yesterday at TJ's party?
TJ: Michols's dancing.
[cheering, shouting]
I just got a dingleberry in my mouth!
Yeah.
How was your talk with Molly?
To be so honest with you,
I barely remember it.
I guess we resolved our beef.
- This is not high school. - I know,
- but you hadn't talked to me. - I'm not done.
I was a little wavy, having a great time,
and then I was taking shots on shots on shots.
I just wanted to make sure me and you were good
because I care about you, and I care about our friendship,
and I would not be talking to you if I did not care.
Can we say that we're good?
Yeah.
Drunk words are sober thoughts,
so me and Molly are cool. We're good.
Yeah, I drank a lot last night.
- Oh. - Yeah. [laughs]
♪♪♪
[phone line ringing]
- Hello? - Hello! You look good.
How was your trip?
I have a guest here with me.
- [Mia gasps] - You got a little beat up
- at my party. - Huh?
TJ: No, it was crazy. Maddi just, like, hit you and, like,
then stepped on you when she was walking away.
We had, like, a huge blow-up fight at my party.
She said some crazy-ass things, and I was just, like,
pissed off, essentially, that she was, like,
doing all this at my event.
♪♪♪
MADDI: I'm so happy you're here.
- JULIA: I'm happy to be here. - Yeah,
- thank you for being here. - How are you? Of course.
Do you want a coffee? I mean, that's the AA way. [laughs]
Julia is my sponsor.
I have 11 years sober, and I met Julia as another young person
with long-term sobriety, and we really clicked.
So, tell me what happened last night.
So much. I don't know.
Having a sponsor is something that
I will always have throughout my recovery.
I cannot do it alone.
She's someone that I can talk to no matter what the situation is,
and she has an unbiased opinion.
I feel like I could cry about it,
'cause I feel like it just, like--
Yeah, I just feel like...
resentment will make you wanna drink so bad.
JULIA: I know. It's a lot.
Well, start from the beginning.
Yeah, I went to work.
- Yeah? - It was, like, TJ, Brad, Julia
versus, like, me, and then, like, Emmy,
who's standing next to me, like, shaking, scared as [bleep].
TJ instantly started getting really combative with me,
and, like, we instantly got into it.
- So he started with you? - Um...
This would be a different situation
if you came to me, and if you came to me.
Yes. Then it's like, bitch, you wanna raise your voice?
- I'm better at it. - Yeah, we know. We know.
You're the best at it. And I'm sure you were doing this.
You know? Your thing with your hands and the pointing.
The table was booked before that!
[overlapping shouting]
TJ looked at me and was like, "You were never my friend."
Like, bitch, like-- literally, like-- I literally made
- this PowerPoint for TJ. - Oh, my--
MADDI: You said we were never friends.
This is all of us outside of Republic.
- Me DJing. Us at Universal. - You have so much free time.
- This is insane. - Me sleeping at his house.
TJ saying that we were never friends
was another gaslighting experience from him.
This is us in Vegas. This is us in Tampa, Florida.
This is us out to eat solo.
We've been on multiple vacations.
We have hung out multiple times.
He was very close with my mother.
Weird.
These are all the texts that TJ and Brad sent to each other.
Did you send this? Did you send this to him?
- No, but should I? - No!
Wow.
You know I, like, picked TJ up from jail?
Three years ago, that mother----er was rotting in jail
with a DUI, and I was his first phone call.
His first thought was, "Who's up and who would be sober?"
I should've let him rot in jail.
So you came home last night after the fight
and went up to your room and made a PowerPoint presentation?
Yes.
- Okay. - I was ----ing pissed.
'Cause it's hard not to look them in the eyes
and think about all the ----ed up sh-- they said and did.
- Yeah. - Like, I'm not calculated
about this sh--. I don't think about this sh-- all the time.
This is incredibly calculated! You are spending
- a lot of energy on this. - But I did this last night.
The sh-- I did with Trevor, they calculated
for two and a half ----ing years.
They blew up a relationship
with someone that I thought was my soulmate.
Sometimes it does bleed into my relationship with Joe sometimes.
JULIA: For sure. Definitely, I would agree with that.
But I'm like, I feel like sometimes I'm scared
to move forward with Joe and I'm scared to, like...
move in with him or marry him or whatever it is,
because, like, I've struggled trusting the people around me.
It's like, I feel like a ----ing idiot.
And, like, Trevor did not deserve that sh--.
I think the most important thing is
you trying to figure out, like,
what is the end result that you want?
Like, you can forgive and not forget.
No, 100%.
After talking to Brad yesterday, like,
he was willing to build trust,
where, like, TJ was just, like, not resolutional at all.
So, like, open the door for him and say, like,
"Look, what happened last night can't happen again.
"I won't allow it. If it starts to happen again,
"I'm just gonna walk away from you.
"You're never gonna get that reaction out of me again."
Definitely hold off on the PowerPoint.
[both laughing]
MADDI: Coming up...
MIA: I have some news.
- TJ: Uh-oh. - Are you pregnant?
TJ: She just took a shot.
- What's wrong with you? - [laughs]
[upbeat music]
[doorbell chimes]
- How are you? - Good.
You got a candle.
You know, everything here is essentially for the female gaze,
because I want women to come over and say,
"You know what? This guy seems to have his sh-- together.
"I might wanna have sex with him now."
[TJ laughing]
I'm trying to squeeze the happiness out of life right now.
I brought a wine opener 'cause I don't think you have one.
I have one. Another thing appealing to the female gaze.
My last relationship, you know, I moved to Australia with her
and was head over heels for this person.
Like, that was the first time in my life
I really felt passion and I felt love during sex.
But then sometimes you get too freaky
and it ruins the relationship.
A little threesome gone wrong.
I've been having too many sleepovers.
Jordyn's been staying over every single night.
It's obviously fun to go out and have a one-night stand,
clap cheeks.
But I'm also always chasing, you know,
that passion and that intimacy.
I keep convincing myself that I need someone to stay over.
TJ: We need to get you a body pillow.
- [chuckles] - I got you a gift.
- No, you didn't. - You have to close your eyes.
- I do? - Yeah.
Close my eyes and open my mouth?
TJ: Uh, you could, yeah.
JUSTIN: I'm gonna pass on that.
- TJ: Okay, put your hands out. - Oh, God.
Teej! What the... Oh, my God! What is this?
- It's a decanter. - This is a dick and balls, TJ.
- This isn't a decanter. - Pour the wine in there.
Over the white carpet?
Look at this. This is precision.
Holy sh--. Did I spill? I'm locked in right now.
This is how I feel when I'm shaving my balls.
TJ: I'm shocked you shave your balls.
JUSTIN: How do I explain myself to women that come over?
I'm already fighting gay accusations left and right.
Jordyn accused me of being gay.
I mean, she saw you kiss Michols and I in front of her.
Oh, yeah, we went down the line.
- Probably didn't help. - I know.
TJ: One night we're drinking, we're having some fun,
and next thing I know, I turn around,
Justin's making out with Michols.
Then he turns around and starts making out with me.
Justin's an excellent kisser.
I did, and took her home.
- Clearly you're straight. - Who knows?
I mean, I've exclusively dated women,
but I think I'm 30% gay...
depending on how many tequila sodas I have in me.
It's spilling off the balls.
Just like its owner.
I remember watching Twilight back in the day,
looking at Robert Pattinson and thinking,
"That's a guy I could get behind."
Shout out tops.
So, who knows? But no one's 100% straight.
- Mia gets back today. - I had a crush on Mia.
And then she's like, "I'm going to Hawaii. I hope he proposes."
- Story of my life. - [laughs]
The first time I really met Mia was in Vegas.
Kind of sensed a certain tension.
I could be, you know, overthinking it here.
I thought he was gay.
I thought TJ brought him as a romantic interest.
And him and TJ were sharing a room, so...
Hmm. You tell me.
I think if you tickle the balls, too, a little bit,
- it's a heavier pour. - TJ: Oh. Yeah.
Oh, wow. I might have to get vertical with this.
TJ: Oh, you're going in.
[Justin grunts]
Yeah, I should get that checked out.
Did you just clean off the tip?

- LAKE: How are you? - MADDI: Good.
How are you feeling after the party? Like...
Oh, my God.
My mind was racing.
Honestly, I feel like I stood my ground
on how I've been feeling the past couple months, and
we've never had a conversation about what happened,
and it's like...
- Hello. Hello, hello. - MADDI: Hey.
I'm in a way better headspace after talking to my sponsor.
But I still have all these unresolved issues
with TJ and Mia, who were also in their group chat
trying to sabotage my relationship,
but they haven't tried to talk to me about this
or tried to make amends like Brad did.
- MICHOLS: All righty. We ready? - WOMAN: Yes.
MICHOLS: Happy Thursday, everybody.
Another beautiful night at Republic.
Are we so excited?
[clock ticking]
Okay, can we act excited?
- [cheering] - Whoo!
Holy sh--, I can't wait.
There we go. Let's get the floor set up.
We are not stressed, we are blessed.
[dance music]
- I hope we're busy tonight. - I hope so too.
I need your energy. Give it to me.
What time are you working till?
Probably 3:30.
Maybe I'll wait up.
All right.

So, me and Julia are gonna have a house in Folly
for our one year to do, like, a little staycation, and so I was
thinking about having, like, everybody come out.
Like, everybody. Like Mia, like TJ.
And, like, kind of, like, have a bonding type thing.
And, like, actually sit down and talk.
Like, when we were able to talk, just me and you,
we made better progress than it being, like...
- Yeah, this blowout thing. - Yeah.
Maddi will take a beef to the grave with her,
and then take it with her into the afterlife, too.
So if me and Maddi can be good,
then there's definitely hope for TJ and Mia.
So, in the spirit of progression and going in a better direction,
come out, just hear each other out.
- Like, have a good time. - Yes. I want to move forward,
and I really appreciate you, like, inviting me. Yes.
What about me? What about everything Brad's done
to me for the past few months?
All that bullsh-- you put me through.
All the sh-- you did after the reunion in the hotel.
Yeah, I'm kind of hoping for a ----ing apology. Please.
----ing bullsh--.

- Hi, how are you? - Good.
You look stunning. Hold on. Spin.
Brad just invited us to their anniversary party?
- Not me. Not invited. - No ----ing way.
- Ask me who set them up. - Was it you?
Yes.
I talked him up so much to Julia.
And you're not invited to their anniversary party?
Whatever, I'll have the party when they break up.
- I'll be right back. - But I honestly thought Brad
would've cheated on her by now.
You have fun! That's all I gotta say.
Have you seen Joe? Where's Joe?
I have no idea.
- I'm gonna go look for him. - He's supposed to be out here,
like, leading by example and training you.
I feel like recently at work, Joe will show up,
but showing up is the bare minimum.
Could you go outside for me, and train Justin?
JOE: Yeah, of course.
Joe's the lead VIP host, that means you lead and you train.
When you don't do that, it kind of shows the other hosts
that you don't really care about your job.
So, yeah, dude, um...
I feel like you got, like, the seating chart down.
- Yeah, right? - Yeah.
I'm bored.
I've been crushing at the front door for five years.
I can do it in my sleep.
Welcome in, y'all.
I want to own my own bar, I feel like...
Leva gave TJ this incredible opportunity
to grow his business.
What about me?
- Congratulations, TJ. - Thank you.
- LEVA: One year. - Yeah!
- Let's go! - [all cheering]
- Leva, I'm next. - Huh?
- I'm next. - What?
Like, business-wise.
Yeah.
When's my opportunity? When's my turn?
[hum of excited chatter]
BRADLEY:
JULIA:
[crowd cheering]
The unsaid comment has been weighing on me
more than anything else,
so it's not easy for me to deal with it.
Me and Emmy haven't talked in damn near a year at this point,
and I don't know if I'm ready for that yet.

- Hi. - What's up?

I'm gonna do a glass of wine and a shot.

Three shots of tequila.
Can I do a Tito soda and then a coffee?
- WAITRESS: Yeah. - TJ: Thanks.
- Thank you. - I need to wake up.
Well, I'm on Hawaii time right now.
You doing anything fun there?
- We did some fun things. - Does your butt hurt?
No, I don't do that like you.
I don't use my butt.
Have you been using your butt?

Salud. I love you guys.
- I have some news. - MOLLY: Uh-oh.
- Are you pregnant? - TJ: She just took a shot.
Yeah, what's wrong with you?
[laughs]
Troy and I broke up.
I know.
- It happened last night. - You're lying.
- I swear. - No, you're lying.
MIA: I swear.
I'm completely shocked.
I'm leaving for Hawaii on Thursday.
Two weeks with my boo.
Uh, is anything going to happen?
I mean, if I get proposed to, I'm going to say yes.
I was expecting her to come back with a ring,
not with single status on her Hinge profile.
Excuse me, Raya, she would kill me if I said Hinge.
On the last night, we're sitting down,
and I'm basically like, "What's the end game here?"
He obviously thought I was thinking about engagement.
And I was like, no, you coming down here to Charleston.
And, like, just ending this long-distance.
And he's like, Mia, I truly cannot give you an answer
about when I'm going to come down to Charleston and move.
- It's been two years. - Uh-huh.
Something should have happened by now.
I am heartbroken.
Troy has definitely been my most serious boyfriend I've ever had.
I see me and you.
- How long? - Forever.
I love him, and he loves me intensely.
When we're together, we just--
we're like barnacles on each other.
Like, we just can't remove ourselves.
And then when we're apart,
we're both just, like, so sad and depressed.
But I have been waiting two years
for him to move to Charleston.
And I didn't see any forward movement.
So I think I just had to let the relationship go.
Yeah.
I cried for, like, three hours on the drive down.
- I'm impressed that you cried. - Thank you.
Like, I'm a toxic ex. You know that.
I'm telling everybody he has a small dick.
I'm telling everybody he has a shrimp dick.
Spreading that rumor.
No, you gotta start something, like, even like...
- Like his balls smell bad. - Yeah.
Like Justin, he looks like his balls smell bad.
- Tell me I'm wrong. - What? That's crazy.
Justin looks like his balls smell bad.
- Time out, time out. - I don't think they do.
- The difference is-- - I know what-- don't say it.
What are you gonna say?
- Like... - Like trail mix dick?
[all laughing]
TJ: Wait, wait, wait, wait.
Would you ever smell Justin's balls?
- He said he had a crush on you. - Huh?
- He said he had a crush on me?
Um, yeah, Justin's hot. Justin's hot.
Did Molly tell you she want on a little
tequila soiree with Justin?
[gasps]
I'm like an onion.
- Yeah. - I smell the same, too.
- But some girls are into that. - Yeah.
- JUSTIN: So, it works. - Well, I prefer showers, but...
- Yeah? - I appreciate...
Well, I got one back at my apartment.
What'd you do?
Well, nothing, because he's rendezvousing
with my new roommate.
[energetic music]
Justin's banging my roommate, then trying to bang me,
then now trying to bang Mia.
The dude needs a literal lock on his pants.
He needs a chastity belt.
By the way, I almost brought your cut out
- to sit next to you. - I know!
Your head was out of proportion.
- Maddi tried to fix it for you. - She literally was like...
I'm gonna confront her about that when we go to Folly.
For being disrespectful to my poster.
- $200. - Yeah, that cost money.
Where are you gonna put that, by the way?
Send it to Troy. [laughs]
[all laughing]
- MADDI: Coming up... - I'm hard to replace.

- I wanna get, like-- - Oh, like twisters?
- Yeah. - Yeah.
- To, like, cross our-- - Uptown has it, also.
- Do they? - I didn't know that.
What's up, big guy? How are you?
- Excellent, how we doing? - Good, hi.
Hey, Joe, how are you?
- Good to see you. - See you in a bit.
- We're gonna go chat. - I'll see you later.
Do you wanna go chat in the office?
Yeah, that sounds good.
- Thank you for meeting with me. - Of course.
I've busted my ass for the last five years
doing the same job.
Do you think you're ready to, like, open a spot, or...
JOE: 100%.
I need to grow, and I'm sick of just waiting
for something to happen.
[bleep] it. I'll just text Leva.
What should I say? [laughs]
Honestly, chat GPT is good with this sh--.
- She's gonna know. - Okay. "Hey, Leva.
"I hope this message finds you well.
"I believe there are opportunities where our skills
"and experience could align to create something..."
Advan... How do you say that?
- Advant... Advantuous? - Wait, wait, wait.
Do you want me to add her on LinkedIn, too?
That's-- [laughs]
Like, "Hey, Leva. Would love to meet."
How you been, Joe?
JOE: I've been great.
You know, I'm so grateful to work here.
- LEVA: Yeah, yeah. - Like this is--
I'm not going anywhere. I'm Team Republic to the day I die.
- Yeah, yeah. - But also, like,
I'm turning 30 in August,
and I have to do what's best for me,
and I want to grow...
Professionally.
And...
- Like, I have dreams. - Yeah.
Um...
You know...
In my mind, my dream would be
build my dream concept with my mentors.
I know that I can not only be an employee,
but a business partner.
It just doesn't work that way, Joe.
It's like, I can't go to my employer and go,
well, I'm just... I want growth, I want this,
but then, it's in the same time
as I'm not showing up to work.
You were just... slacking.
Every time I'm around Joe,
I almost feel like I'm in the Twilight Zone.
I'm like, we had this conversation a year ago.
If you want to be in this business,
don't take the whole month to be, like,
Maddi's, like, hype man.
You're the person that I think Lamar and I
would be able to do something big with.
But I need to know that Joe is, like, a rock.
Yeah.
I told him he needed to put work first,
and he did exactly none of that.
Instead, he continued to travel with Maddi.
I cannot stop my business
because you want to follow your girlfriend
around the country.
You just left with Maddi.
She's still suffering from anxiety.
She's like, "I need you with me."
It's not a disrespectful thing
that I, you know, chose to be by Maddi's side
and I missed some sh--.
I'm a lot more supportive of her.
But you're sacrificing a lot of stuff, I think.
You were in a really good position
that could have moved up,
and you just stopped coming,
and you were like, "I booked tables online."
I ----ed up.
I stopped showing up.
Then I come back and work my ass off,
and I feel like I'm back at square one,
and that's not motivating for me.
I don't know if this is arrogant to say,
but I need to, like, feel that respect,
like, reciprocated.
Is Joe out of his mind?
Everyone's like, Joe, like,
when are they going to give you a place?
Well, anyone who thinks we're giving anybody anything,
- we're not. - Yeah, no.
We're building something with somebody that's reliable.
Like, you know you're not reliable.
Does he think I'm just handing out businesses
like Oprah hands out cars?
I mean, sure, at one point,
Joe was valuable to us.
It was always the plan with Lamar and I
to have Joe run one of the businesses,
have equity in one of the businesses,
and he basically gave us a big [bleep] you.
JOE: It hurts my feelings.
I feel like I've been the face of your company,
and when I'm here, I'm incredible.
- I'm hard to replace. - You have been replaced.
[tense music]
The business doesn't wait for you.
We're training Justin.
My return on investment with you is, like...
we're closed until you start to show
that I should reinvest in you.
The thing that hurts the most is, like, the loyalty.
Like, to say, like, I'm replaceable,
that's-- that's a little crazy.
That's like making a movie,
and Brad Pitt doesn't show up to work.
You're not gonna replace Brad Pitt.
[laughs]
I would love to get back to where I was.
Would you be able to work for, like,
the next eight months, the next year,
and do Thursday, Friday, Saturday,
- while Maddi's on tour? - JOE: 100%.
If that's what it takes, no doubt.
I would love for you to prove me wrong,
but right now, I don't know if you will.
Well, watch me.

I can honestly say this is probably the first time

BRADLEY: So, I really want to make
this one-year super special.
I've never done this for anyone before.
I'm glad I'm the first.
- Cheers, baby. - Cheers.
BRADLEY: My client let me use her house.
I was able to get us a private chef.
I got her a mani-pedi, a new dress, the whole thing.

Perfectly done.
Are you going to tell me what it is?
Oh, yes.
This is a, um... bottle of champagne.

Are you about to give it to me?
Mm-hmm. Okay, close your eyes.
Did you buy me an Amex?
- [both laugh] - To spend on you?
You won't get very far.
Do you know whose handwriting that is?
That's my dad's.
This is from a card that he gave your mom before he passed away,
and then the other side is from a journal
that he wrote at church.
Oh, my God.
Me and my dad had a very special relationship,
and it's been five years since he's passed away,
and now to have that piece of him with me every day,
everywhere that I go,
no one has ever gone above and beyond like this before.
She's unlocked this emotional side of me
that I didn't know that I was in touch with.
This is amazing.
I'm just happy that we could do something just us.
- JULIA: Yeah. - Before...
Before everyone else gets here.
Before the storm arrives.
There's a few different issues that need to be addressed.
Obviously, Emmy.
I invited everyone else out to Folly,
and I wanted to extend that invite to you as well.
And I don't want you to think that it's going to be
some kind of ambush.
I do want to talk to you.
I'll definitely be there.
If everyone else is going to be solving their issues,
there'd be a massive elephant in the room
if I didn't invite Emmy to try and squash the beef.
I don't think I would have seen it that way
if it wasn't for Julia.
Emmy has a lot to answer for.
The unsafe comment has, like, stuck with me
the last couple of months,
and I think it's time for Emmy to say I'm sorry.
I think she wants an apology from me.
Absolutely not.
Tomorrow will no longer be our one-year.
No, just kidding.

until the last minute to invite me,

You and I were cool.
And now it's tough for me.
Oh, my God.
I was on the ----ing beach chilling, and then they're like,
Maddi just pushed her down and stepped all over it.
That's ----ing disrespectful where I come from.
The cardboard cutout is probably three dollars.
Like, calm the [bleep] down.
Don't be pushing on posters of me,
and walking all over me.
That means something to me.
Girl, it's a cardboard cutout.
I didn't actually punch you in the face.
But just to resort to that, I don't play like that.
I just feel like I was really hurt about you and TJ
and Brad knowing all that stuff, and never telling me.
- I wasn't in the group chat. - You were.
I was not in that group chat.
Emmy showed it to me. You were liking things.
You were in the chat.
About the Trevor and the Sammy sh--.
- You knew about that. - I wasn't in that one.
The first time I heard about that was the same time
you heard about it in the reunion.
Please, let go.
But it's hard to forget,
and I think about the people that harmed me in that situation
and it's hard not to put you in that box,
because you're their henchman.
- Henchman? - Literally.
- Girl! - Your friends here are TJ
and Brad, and you're constantly defending them,
instead of the women.
No!

I'm telling you I wasn't in it. I would not lie to you.
One thing I don't do is do that.
So, squash it.

Who's in here?
Oh, no.

I didn't even see any of that.
I was not following that group chat.
But the thing is, if-- I feel like if was reading this,
I would be part of it.
Maybe my quiet's on or something.
Maybe I was working.
Me and Emmy making out.
That's a great screenshot from that bitch-ass ho.
But I never saw that.
I stand by that I had no involvement.
And I have no reason to lie about that.
Okay.
We're squashed.
I'm sorry that at the Sir Wieners party
that I felt like I had a lot of PTSD and old feelings come up.
And I'm sorry that I stomped on your face.

I can't deal with my problems by fighting everyone.
