- Thank you for coming.
- [Mourner] If you need anything, you call me, okay?
- [Mary] You need to eat, hun.
- Hey man, you should really eat something.
- I'm not hungry, dude.
- Your sister really worked hard on this meal.
I'm sure it'd mean a lot to her
if you're taken care of.
I should have taken better care of my wife, man.
I should've been in the car, bro.
- Don't beat yourself up, man.
She's in a better place.
(Allan sobs)
- Hey, you okay?
- Oh.
- It's okay. It's all right.
I just wanted to tell you I'm so sorry for your loss.
I only knew Rachel for a brief amount of time,
but she was such a blessing.
- Yeah. I'm sorry.
I didn't catch your name.
- It's okay. Erica.
- Erica?
- Erica Moore.
- Nice to meet you.
- How'd you know Rachel?
- Well, originally we met last year at a AA meeting.
You know, we would hang out at the park and go to yoga,
but I hadn't seen her
and I got a phone call about the accident.
So I had to come pay my respect.
- I truly appreciate you coming.
- It's no problem.
I left you a container of mac and cheese.
- Wow. Thank you. I appreciate that.
That's my-
- It's your favorite?
Rachel, she told me that once.
- Yeah?
You know what?
Why don't you, why don't you take this?
- Oh, I can't take that.
- No, no.
- No.
- I insist.
I have tons of pictures of Rachel
and it's just something you can use to remember her by.
- I appreciate that.
You hold up, okay?
(somber music)
- Look baby, I gotta go.
- Oh no, baby. What you mean you gotta go?
Where you going?
- I'm going to the store.
- Baby, you can do that tomorrow.
I got a lot to do to the car anyway.
I gotta get an oil change, tires rotated,
gotta get it tuned up.
(wife laughs)
- All that?
- All that. It's way overdue
- Mm, my husband's so sweet.
(lips smacking)
But look, no. I gotta go.
I have a deadline too, and it's called the fall sale.
- Fall sale?
- Yes.
Look, I'll be back soon, all right?
- I love you.
- I love you too.
(wife chuckles)
(dramatic music)
(intense music)
(melancholy music)
(groovy music)
- [Allan] Hey.
- Hey.
- [Allan] How you doing?
- I'm good. How are you?
- One of Rachel's friends, right?
- Yeah, Erica.
- Erica. Erica.
I'm sorry, I'm terrible with names.
- It's okay. We all have our imperfections, Allan.
- Yeah.
So you live around here?
- I do, actually.
I just moved into those apartments down the street.
I just took a run to see the neighborhood.
- Oh. Down there?
- [Erica] Yeah.
- Hmm, okay.
(Erica laughs)
It's a nice neighborhood, there's not a whole lot going on.
- Yeah, I could see that.
But how you been holding up?
- Been okay. One day at a time.
- I understand. We learned that in AA meetings.
Everybody got their own way of coping, you know?
I can actually show you a few tips if you need it.
- You know what, actually?
I was in a bad place a little while ago.
If it weren't for my good friend, Steve, I'd still be there.
I don't know where I'd be without him.
Look, I'm rambling. I'm sorry
(Erica chuckles)
- No, you're good. You're good. It's okay.
I'm sure Steve is a great guy.
But I'm sure you have a whole lot to do,
so I can catch you later.
- Yeah. Yeah. Why don't you do that. You know what?
If you're not doing nothing later tonight,
it'd be cool if you come by for dinner,
we kinda share some stories about Rachel, if you want.
- Yeah, sure. Around what time?
- 7:30. Is 7:30 cool?
- Mm-hmm, 7:30 works.
- [Allan] That's good?
- Yeah.
- All right, cool. Well, I'll see you then
- Okay.
- All right.
- [Erica] Bye.
(calm guitar music)
(water crackles)
(door knocking)
- Hey, how are you?
- Good. How are you?
- It's good to see you again.
- Good to see you.
- Oh, no, come in. Come in. Come in.
- Thank you.
- You're welcome.
- Oh. You have a beautiful home.
- Well, thank you, I appreciate that.
- Mm-hmm.
- Now, why don't you go in there and have a seat.
- [Erica] Okay.
- [Allan] Make yourself at home. Make yourself comfortable.
- [Erica] Thank you.
- [Allan] I see you clean up nice.
- You too.
- [Allan] Aw.
- Thanks for inviting me to dinner.
- Oh, no problem.
I'm just grateful
I have someone other than Steve to talk to for once.
I don't get out very much.
- Well, how long have you two been friends?
- About 20 years.
So our freshman year in high school.
He actually introduced Rachel and I.
Yeah.
She was the prettiest girl in high school
and I didn't even have the courage to say "hi."
- You? You were lost for words?
Now, I cannot believe that.
- Ah, well, believe it.
- So what happened?
- Well, they had a class together, algebra class,
and she wasn't doing too good.
So he recommended a tutor for her.
- Okay. Some quick thinking.
- Right? Right?
Little does she know, I knew nothing about algebra.
(Erica laughing)
So he stalled her for about a week
so I can get some chapters in.
- Okay, I see. You were very determined.
She never got a chance to tell me that story.
- Speaking of which,
did she tell you why she started drinking?
- No, actually.
She hadn't shared that story with me before I left.
But she was just quiet like that, you know?
Anyways, we met up again the following spring at the park
and that was the last time I seen her.
But she seemed happy like in a good space.
- Mm-hmm. That's good.
Yeah. Yeah, yeah.
(slow groovy music)
- So what's your story?
- What do you mean, like how I became an alcoholic?
- Well?
It's okay, that's a fair question.
- Okay.
- I got you, so.
My husband died of liver cancer
and I just didn't know how to cope with it, you know?
We were all each other had.
- I'm sorry. I didn't mean to dive into your business.
- Mm-mm. Don't be. It's okay.
He was an asshole and he drank like a fish.
He took his anger out on me all the time.
And you know, now that I think about it,
I should have been way more ecstatic to be free from him
but it was the complete opposite.
That was the only man that I knew
and I loved him and then he was gone, so.
I know, I know what you're thinking.
Stockholm syndrome to the fullest.
(Allan laughs)
- No, no. I'm just,
I'm thinking that here's a person that been through a lot
and there's nothing at all that you should be ashamed of.
(slow guitar music)
- This is really a beautiful house.
You and Rachel pick this out?
- Yeah. Yeah, yeah.
Would you like a tour?
- Yes.
- All right.
You got to watch your step,
'cause these stairs are pretty steep.
- [Sara] Okay.
(Allan groans)
Oh my God, this is such a big house.
- Right, right.
Yeah, but I mean, there's no need all this space now.
Me and Rachel were planning,
we were planning.
- It's okay. It's okay. It's okay.
Hey. Hey. Hey.
Look, look at me.
You don't wanna hold none of that in, okay?
You need to let it out.
It's okay.
(slow guitar music)
Mm-hmm.
Look, we just gon' talk, okay?
Come on, let's go.
(high heels clacking)
(stairs creaking)
(melancholy music)
- So.
So we put it down in the bedroom and the kitchen,
is that right?
- Well, I mean. Oh, okay.
(Allan laughs)
- This is good. This is real good.
- Mm-hmm.
- So you know your way around the kitchen?
- I do. You go and have a seat for me, okay?
Yes, ma'am. Yes, ma'am.
Oh, look how you got this table set up.
This is perfect.
Hold up. You got my peanut butter on the side?
- Yes.
- How did you? Oh.
- Mm-hmm.
- Yeah.
(door bell chimes)
- Baby, you mind if I get the door?
- Please, that'd be great.
- I mean, you know, this is your house.
- It's my house.
- It's your house.
- Yeah, I don't mind.
- You just finish eating for me, okay?
- I got you. Wait, you got something on your lip.
- No, I don't.
- Yeah, you do. It's right at the bottom. I see it.
- No, I don't, mm.
- On the bottom, on the bottom.
(Allan groans)
- Hi.
- Good morning.
Steve, right?
- Yeah, how'd you know?
- Allan. He's told me so much about you.
- Oh, really? He hasn't told me anything about you.
- I'm Erica, a friend of Allan's.
Come in.
- Okay.
Where is my best friend, anyways?
- He's in the kitchen having breakfast.
- All right.
(Allan groans)
- Hey.
Oh, there he is. What's up, boss?
- Hey, buddy. What's up?
- Nothin', how you doin'?
- Not much, man.
I'd ask how you're doing,
but looks like Erica prepared your favorite dish
with the peanut butter on the side.
(Allan moans)
Someone hooked him onto that.
- Rachel. I know.
But look, Steve, it was really nice meeting you,
but I gotta go.
I got some errands to run, okay?
- Baby, you gotta go?
- Yeah, I do.
I'ma go get my things and I'll talk to you later, okay?
Mm-hmm.
(Allan whimpers)
(Erica laughs)
It's okay.
- I'll see you later.
- Damn, she look really familiar.
- Met her at the funeral, at the dinner.
After, you know, everything was going on.
- Okay, so like a friend of Rachel's?
- Sort of.
- All right, all right.
So how'd this happen?
- Well, we met up and then one thing led to another.
- All right, I see you.
But you know,
there's no need to jump into a serious relationship.
Have fun with this one and then find another.
Finding another Rachel is gonna be like
one out of a million.
- Now, ain't that the truth?
- Yeah.
- Well, by the way, thanks for the referral, man.
The Washington's should be here in about an hour or so.
- Oh, I know.
- Yeah.
- That's why I'm here eating some of your breakfast.
(strawberry crunches)
To make sure that you're emotionally ready
to be giving advice.
- Yeah, I'm good.
I'm in a good space too,
so I'm kind of, you know,
- Mm-hmm.
- Getting my mojo back.
- Mm-hmm.
Erica looked like she got that good space.
(Allan laughs)
She got you all excited and ready to work.
- You a fool.
- You know I'm right. You know I'm right.
Aye, but I gotta go though, right?
I'll catch you later.
- I love you, bro.
- I love you too.
(mischievous music)
- Mr. and Mrs. Jones, thank you so much for stopping by
and taking time out of your busy schedule
to discuss your marriage.
Sara, how about we start with you?
What seems to be the problem?
- It starts with trust.
I simply don't trust him.
- But I haven't done nothing for you to not trust me, Sara.
Carter, Carter. Let's let Sara finish.
You'll have your moment.
Go ahead, Sara.
What is it?
- Thank you, Allan.
What type of man with nothing to hide
doesn't answer his phone when he's at home.
The ringer is never on, it's constantly face down.
Always calling somebody back.
- Carter, do you care to explain?
- No, but I will.
Look, I work at a stressful job
and when I come home,
all I want is peace and quiet.
You know how it is Mr. Allan,
when you come on from a long day of working,
you just wanna unwind with a beer and a game.
- Don't do that.
- Sara, has Carter given you any reason not to believe him?
- I've been married to this man for 15 years.
Of course he has.
He slept with my friend, Kelly.
- What? That was in high school.
And I apologized to you a hundred times about that.
- [Sara] You get the point.
- Besides, she slept with everybody.
(Sara snickers)
- Really?
So that gives you an excuse to cheat on me then, right?
Right.
- Baby, no.
And it never will.
- Sara, has Carter cheated on you recently?
- No, I mean, I haven't caught his ass,
but I know he been up to no good.
- Look, Mr. Allan,
that was the biggest mistake of my life
when I stepped out on Sara 15 years ago
and I hadn't stepped out since.
I just don't want to hurt her again, man.
- Guys, seem like we have a lot to unpack.
Seems like Carter's been faithful for a long time.
You said so yourself, Sara,
and he hasn't provided any evidence that he's cheating.
- Well, no body no murder, right?
Okay.
- Well, this ends our first session, guys.
Thank you so much for coming in.
And I want you guys to remember your notes for next week,
okay?
Trust, communication.
- Communication.
- Trust.
(Allan chuckles)
- You guys take care.
Drive safe.
See you guys next week.
(Allan laughs)
(Allan coughs)
- What you?
Oh my God, what are you doing?
We got a whole 'nother mile.
- Wait, wait. Wait, wait.
You gotta give me a second, man.
This neighborhood get bigger overnight or something?
- No, baby. The neighborhood ain't get no bigger.
Just your belly.
I told you not to eat them pancakes this morning.
(Allan laughs)
- That's not nice. That's really messed up.
No, don't touch me. Don't put your hands on me.
(dramatic music)
That wasn't funny, man, that's not a good joke.
- Hi, I'm Tiffany, do you remember me from yoga class?
Your name is?
- Erica.
- Huh?
I don't know why I thought you went by something else.
- No, it was Erica,
but I do remember you though, Tiffany.
How are you?
- I've been pretty good.
Can't complain, you know?
I still stay up on the south side,
but I just love it up here.
It's so peaceful.
- Yeah.
- So is this your boyfriend?
- Hi, I'm Allan.
I'm friends with Erica.
- Nice to meet you.
- Mm-hmm. Yeah, we love it out here too.
It's nice.
- Cool. Well, it was great running into you.
Will you be here tomorrow?
- Mm-hmm. Around the same time.
- Sounds good. See you two soon.
- Yeah. All right, bye.
- Mm-hmm.
- She was nice.
- Yeah, I guess.
I mean, you never know who you gonna run into, right?
No matter how far you go.
- [Allan] What's that supposed to mean?
- Nothing.
Nothing. Come on.
Let's go.
- Come on, wait.
- Come on.
(Erica laughs)
(inspiring music)
(dramatic music)
(phone rings)
- Well? Well, well, well.
How's my craziest sister doing?
(Mary sighs)
- I'm good.
These Megan Thee Stallion knees
just ain't what they used to be.
- Oh, man.
You want me to set a chiropractor appointment for you?
- No, no. I'm good.
Just means I'm getting old.
- Well, you're not getting older. You're getting better.
- Oh, I know.
So how you been doing?
- I been good.
I took my first patients today and it was really well.
Well, it went real well.
Feels good to get back in the saddle, you know?
- Yes.
That's good. See?
God is so good.
He know exactly how to get you back on track.
And speaking of getting you back on track, you know,
there's this girl at my gym,
she just signed her divorce papers,
so I could hook that up if you want me to.
- Sis, thanks, but no thanks.
- Oh. Oh, I'm sorry Allan.
It's too soon, I know. I'm sorry.
I was just thinking about Rachel the other day.
Man, I miss her.
- It's not that. I kinda met someone.
- What? Wait, what? Who? Really? When?
Do I know her? Did she go to school with us?
What year she graduated?
- No, you don't know her, she's not from around here.
- So when I get to meet her.
- Well, if it gets serious, I promise I'll let you meet her.
I'll just kind of see where it goes first.
(door bell ringing)
Hey sis, hold on a second.
- What?
No, I heard the door bell ring.
- Yeah sis, look, let me call you back.
- I know this heffer ain't got you
gettin' off the phone with me
when I was the one in the delivery room with Mama
while she was in labor with you
for 18 hours, 30 minutes, and 52 seconds.
- Yeah, yeah sis, love you. Love you, goodnight.
(Mary gasps)
- This boy.
- You ain't gotta get off the phone with your sister.
- I had good reasons.
(romantic music)
(Allan moans)
- So Allan.
- Mm-hmm?
- What's your passion?
- What's my passion?
- Mm-hmm.
- Where is this coming from?
- You know, I just wanna know what gets you going.
For me, it's exercise, right?
- Right.
- I love the results of it, it's a stress reliever,
plus I get to help others while doing it.
That's me.
- Okay.
I guess my passion would be my family, I think.
I mean, it's the greatest aspect of a person's life, right?
- Yeah.
- My parents were married for 30 years before my dad died.
He's an incredible man.
I learned everything from him.
He taught me how to drive, how to change a tire,
how to treat a woman.
I guess I try my best
to show married couples in my sessions
the joys of each other and the importance of family.
So yeah, family's my passion.
- I feel the same way.
You know, it's just, I didn't have much family,
so I've learned to appreciate the ones around me.
- Well, I guess I'm your family now, I don't know.
- You my family?
- Yeah. I'm your family.
- Yeah?
- [Allan] I'm your family.
(Erica laughs)
- Thank you.

- Mm, food looks delicious.
You made this, Allan?
- No, man, Erica put this whole thing together.
She did the main courses and I just helped with the sides.
- Yeah, that makes sense.
Man, I cannot remember the last time you cooked.
(Allan laughs)
- Yeah, I can't either.
Where is your little friend?
Oh, there she goes.
Hey baby, we were just talking about you.
- Hey.
- Speak of the devil.
- You must be Mary, I'm Erica.
- Yes. It's nice to meet you.
- Okay. Hey Steve.
Good to see you.
- Hey boo-boo, how are you?
- Good.
- Yes you are.
I hope y'all ready to eat. 'cause I prepared everything.
Y'all ready to dig in?
- Yes ma'am, you did your thing.
I think you guys are really gonna like that chicken.
Chicken's gonna be amazing.
- Mm-hmm.
- Well, let us pray.
- [Allan] Yeah, yeah.
- Okay.
- No, I'm good.
- Thank you, God,
for providing us with this meal made by Erica and Allan,
for delivering Allan through a tough time
- Yes. Yes.
- and bringing us all together tonight.
Amen.
- [All] Amen.
- Amen.
Oh sis, you know what?
Let me get you together now
'cause I know how you like your stuff.
- Yeah, I got it.
You don't have to treat me like a guest,
you know this like my second home.
- [Allan] You right, you right, you right.
Well, go ahead and try that chicken, sis.
Let me know what you think.
- That's what I was doing.
(Mary laughs)
Thank you.
Mm-kay, yeah. This is good, Erica.
Where did you learn how to cook?
- My mom. Girl, she was a crazy cook.
You know,
I was always in the kitchen with her when I was little.
- Oh. Okay, and where is she now?
- Both my parents passed already.
But I was the only child, so it's just me.
I don't have much family.
- Yeah, I'm sorry to hear about that.
I know how important family is.
- Speaking of which,
that's the reason I brought you guys here.
I have an announcement, well, we have an announcement.
- Oh hell no. She pregnant?
- Sis, come on. No.
- No. Girl, we gettin' married.
(Allan laughing)
- Oh, oh. That was just the fuba.
- We're getting married like she said,
look at the ring. Look guys. Right?
- [Erica] Look, look.
- Congratulations.
- [Allan] Thank you, Steve, thank you.
- [Erica] Thank you.
- Let's break out the champagne. Y'all got some, right?
- Yeah, yeah. It's on the shelf.
Let's go get it. Help me get it.
- Right now?
- Help me come get it.
- Excuse me, guys, we'll be right back.
- Erica?
- Mm-hmm?
- Do you mind if I ask you a few questions?
- Yeah. What's up?
- How long have you known Allan?
- About six months or so.
I know it seems rushed,
but I promise you that man is the love of my life.
- I mean, but what do you really know about him?
Like what's his favorite color?
What's he allergic to?
Does he have any fears? I mean.
- Well, judging from what he wears,
his favorite color's gray.
- Okay, I believe I asked you two more questions, so.
- Look, he allergic to bananas
and he's afraid of losing you.
Mary, he loves you.
I know this, okay?
But I promise you I'm gonna stick by that man
through thick and thin.
- Well, I'm glad to hear that.
But just know I'm not gonna be here for my brother forever.
- [Erica] Mm-hmm.
- And being with him, it comes with a lot of baggage.
He's really been through a lot.
Do you know that he blames himself
for the passing of his late wife?
- I'm aware, but we have each other.
- Uh-huh.
I bet you do, skank.
Food's good.
- Mm-hmm.
- All right, man.
Look, I already know what you're getting ready to say.
- What?
That you're moving too fast and you don't really know her?
The culo making you loco, bro.
(Allan snickers)
You're not thinking rationally.
- Dude, she loves me and I love her.
That's all that matters.
- Yeah,
but I thought you were gonna go see other women, you know?
You don't buy the first car you test drive.
You know what I'm saying?
- No. No, no.
You said I should see other women.
It's not my thing, man.
Look, why go around looking when you're enjoying the ride?
You know what I'm saying?
- Yeah. Okay.
- Yeah? Yeah? This registers?
- I get you, yeah.
- Yeah. That's what I thought.
- But you know I gotta give you shit, you know?
- Of course, you're my guy, man.
Always looking out.
(Allan chuckles)
Do me a favor, can you tell Mary to come see for a second.
- I got you.
- I wanna talk to her a little bit. All right?
- Hey Mary, do you mind going to the kitchen for a minute?
Allan wants to talk to you.
- Yeah.
See what he wants now.
- Pretty eventful night, huh?
(Erica chuckles)
- Yeah, it was.
- Honestly, congratulations on the wedding.
You really couldn't have picked a better guy.
- Thank you.
That really means a lot coming from you.
I know this engagement was a huge surprise on everybody.
I mean, I didn't even see it coming.
- Yeah. I'm not gonna lie, neither did I.
When Allan sees something or someone he wants,
he doesn't hesitate to go out and get it.
My only concern is I think he's still mourning the death
of his late wife, Rachel.
Your friend.
I think he might be vulnerable,
but I'm sure you're a great catch.
- But does Allan really love me?
I mean, is he making the right decision?
Look, I get it.
Okay, 'cause if I was in your shoes,
I would probably have the same doubts.
But I can promise you this:
I love Allan with all my heart, Okay?
And I'm gonna prove that he's making the right decision.
Just gimme a chance and I'm not gon' disappoint you.
- I think I could do that.
- You can?
- You know what?
Let's toast.
- Okay.
- [Steve] To new beginnings.
- New beginnings.
- What the hell is wrong with Allan?
- I don't know Mary, he doesn't even know this woman.
- No, I know what it is.
His ass is pussy whipped.
- Mary.
- What, am I lying?
I need you to see what you could find out about her.
- What do you want me to find out?
- I don't know, anything.
Just dig something up on her and find anything.
Check her story, check her background, her Instagram.
She has my brother's heart.
Something is not right about her.
- Here they come.
- [Allan] And what are y'all over here talking about?
- None of your business.
- Bow!
(Allan laughs)
- Well, I'm gonna take off, guys. Congrats again.
- Thank you man. Appreciate you.
Thank you for coming by.
- I'll see you
- It's good seeing you, as usual.
- [Steve] Mm-hmm. Always.
- Always, always.
- Remember what I told you.
- All right, Steve-O!
All right, sis. We know the drill.
We already got your room all set up and fit for queen.
- Yeah. I can actually show it to you.
- Oh. No thank you. I know where it is.
I helped him and his wife pick this house out.
- Look. You see-
- I know, I know, I know, I know.
She's just gonna have to get used to you being my wife,
okay?
That's all it is.
- It's fine.
It takes everybody a little adjusting.
Even if it kills them.
- Hang on, if it kills them.
- It's alright.
Come on. Let's go.
- Oh, Lord.
I just wanna thank you for always watching over
and blessing me and my family.
But Lord, it seemed like Allan went
and got himself engaged to a woman
that he just met two seconds ago.
Please Lord, bless their marriage.
But please, for this woman's sake,
do not let her do anything to hurt my Allan.
God knows he's already been through too much hurt and pain
and I don't wanna send her to you
any earlier than she's supposed to go, lord.
We ask all of these things in your darling son, Jesus,
and we pray.
Amen.
(intense music)
- I got this heffer in my house,
how the fuck I'ma get her out of here?
Oh my God.
Erica, you can't do this no more.
You can't do it.
- Get me something to drink.
Thank you.
This ain't legendary, but this just gonna have to do.
(intense music)
What the fuck?
- Erica, you can't do this no more.
You can't do it. You can't bro.
You not crazy, you not crazy.
I got this heffer in my house.
How the fuck I'ma get her out, dog?
Oh my God.
I feel it. I feel it happening. I feel it.
You can't do this no more.
Erica, you can't.
Okay, all right, all right.
So you got her in the house,
Calm down, calm down. It's all right.
how the fuck you gonna get her out?
You not gon' do it, but you are.
No I'm not, no I'm not, no I'm not, no I'm not.
I'm not fucking crazy. Erica, 'cause you not. You not.
But you are.
(Erica sighs)
(intense music)
- Shit.
(Mary screams)
(Mary heavily breathing)
Okay. Just stop, stop.
(glass shatters)
(intense music)
(Mary screams)
- Mary, you okay?
- I was just, went out with-
- Guys, what's going on? Who screamed?
- Nothing, baby.
I must have spooked your sister.
I was on the way to the kitchen.
- Sis, you all right?
- Yeah, I'm all right.
- I'ma just go back to bed.
- What's wrong with my sister, dog, she saw a ghost?
- Nothin' baby, nothin'.
Come on, let's go back to bed, okay?
Okay.
Let's go.
- Who was screaming, it was her.
(intense music)
- I didn't know we were having company.
I would've gotten dressed.
Did Allan let you in?
- I was just looking for something I left to Allan.
- Mm-hmm.
Well, I hope you found what you're looking for.
- I'll just let myself out.
- Mm-hmm.
- Steve, what are you doing coming outta my house, man?.
- I was just, I was just-
- No, look, Steve.
What are you doing in my house, man?
- [Steve] I was just, I was just.
- .[Allan] Steve, Steve. What's complicated about it?
- Allan, baby. It's okay, don't ruin his surprise, now.
We were just planning for the wedding, that's all.
- What were you guys planning?
- Show him, Steve.
The picture of me and Rachel.
- The picture.
Yeah.
- Oh, man. See, guys.
- Mm-hmm.
He was gonna take it,
get it blown up and framed and everything, right?
- Yeah.
- This is cool. This is cool, man.
Thank you. Thank you, bro.
This is. You didn't think of this yourself, I'm sure.
- I mean.
- Yeah, right.
(Allan laughs)
This is cool.
- Cool.
Yeah. I gotta take off, but I'll catch you later.
All right?
- See you, Steve.
I'll call you later, man.
Babe, this is sweet.
I'm sure you helped him with this,
you didn't have to do that.
- Yeah.
I'm pretty hungry. You hungry?
- Yeah, I'm starving. What you cookin'?
- Okay, let's go.
I got some chicken.
And I got some mac and cheese.
- Chicken and mac and cheese.
- And I got some greens.
- Put some greens, too.
- And I got some cornbread.
- Ah. That's what we. Cornbread?
- Yeah.
- Where you learn how to bake?
(Erica and Allan laughing)
(intense music)
- Hey, man.
- Oh! Broski, what's goin' on, man?
- Not much.
Are you nervous?
- Yeah.
Yeah, I'm nervous, man. I'm nervous.
Well, you know, that's typical,
you know, with such a big move like this.
- You right. You right.
Can I talk to you for a second, now?
For real?
- Yeah, go ahead.
- You sure you wanna do this?
You know, just one poon for the rest of your life?
(Allan laughing)
I got twins back there, man.
Real talk.
Keep your heart, three stacks. You know what I'm saying?
- Oh my God!
Yeah. Yeah, man.
Honestly, as tempting as that sounds,
I think I'm making the right decision.
I think Rachel would want me to move on with my life.
- Respect. Respect.
You know, I got you no matter what.
- Yeah.
- I always got your back.
- My guy. My guy.
Speaking of which, since you have my back,
you have this ring.
I think that's something we need to talk about.
Do you have the ring?
- Come on. You got me like that?
You know I got you.
- Ah, my man. Huh. Yes. Okay.
All right.
- I wouldn't do you like that.
- I see. I see.
Good, man.
- Well, I'm glad you're happy. All right?
- I appreciate that. Appreciate that.
- Yeah.
We're gonna have some fun, though, tonight.
(Allan laughs)
- I'm scared to ask. I'm scared to ask.
(Steve laughs)
- Well, I'm gonna have more fun.
- Yeah.
- 'Cause I got two.
- Yeah, the twins, right?
(All laughing)
Oh my goodness. Wow.
- But you'll have some fun too.
- Yeah, man.
- Just remember that.
- Always.
(majestic organ music)
- By the power invested in me,
(Erica chuckles)
I now pronounce you husband and wife.
You may kiss your bride.
(all clapping)
(calm instrumental music)
- Well, they're married now. Just wish them the best.
- I ain't wishing them shit.
Something's off with her.
I know it.
You know the night that they announced the engagement to us?
I went down in the kitchen to go get me something to eat.
Not 'cause I got fat girl problems, but something else.
And I saw her right outside here talking to herself
like she's fuckin' possessed or something.
- Yeah. Well, you know, when the pastor announced,
"Does anyone contest his union?",
that would've been a great time to say all this.
- Whatever. So what did you find out about Erica?
- Only that she's a B cup.
- Steve, what?
- I didn't find anything out yet,
but I'll continue looking.
- I know something is not right. I feel it in my spirit.
- Mary, there's not really a whole lot we can do.
- Oh, no. There's a lot we can do.
It's never too late to investigate a crazy bitch
in the name of Jesus.
- Mary, what church did you go to?
What scripture are you reading from?
- You're not funny.
- All right, well. I guess we wait.
- Hello.
(Sara laughing)
- Oh, Sara? Carter? You guys come on in.
- Yes.
Thank you.
- How are you?
- We are good.
- I'm Erica, by the way, Allan's wife.
- Oh, congratulations!
- Thank you. Thank you.
- Oh, aye. Congratulations.
How was the honeymoon?
- My honeymoon was beautiful, thank you.
It was a week in Jamaica on a resort.
Beautiful beach, you know?
You guys wait right here.
I'ma go get Allan
and let him know that y'all are here, okay?
- Okay. All right. Thank you.
- What! Hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey.
- Really? What you doin'?
See, this time I caught you.
I swear, your ass ain't gettin' in the motherfuckin' car.
No, no, no. Get off of me.
What wrong with you?
- [Carter] I'm just gonna have a seat. Yeah.
- Hope you guys haven't been waiting too long.
Sara, Carter. Good to see you guys again.
Hope things have been better.
- Good.
- Okay. Okay.
You guys been communicating? Trusting?
- Oh, yeah.
We've been good, up until today.
When I caught him staring at somebody else's ass
right in front of me.
I mean, how I'm supposed to trust him like that?
- Carter? Is this true?
(Carter laughing)
- Man, come on, man. It was an accident, man.
- An accident?
- Wait Sara, hold on a second.
I'm sure Carter has a well and thought out explanation.
- Okay. I actually do.
See, this is how it went, right?
I was walking in, I was looking down at the ground.
Trying to figure out where I was going, right?
And then so what happened when I looked up,
and I saw like two hams wrestling, you know?
- So and this.
Wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, let me stop you there.
What I think Sara's trying to express to you,
is that you need to show more self-control.
Be respectful to your wife.
- Let me put it this way.
How would you feel if Sara
was out showing another man that attention?
Think about that for a second.
- You know what?
Yeah, I understand, man.
Listen, Sara.
I'm sorry baby, all right?
- Whatever.
- Okay. Well, let's move on.
- Aye, before we move on, do you mind if I use the restroom?
- Yeah, sure.
It's down the hall to the left.
- All right, thank you.
- [Sara] I can't take it, I'm sick of all-
- But you have to take it.
(romantic music)
- You sick or something? Like what the hell are you doin'?
- Ooh! Ooh, ooh.
- Are you watching her undress? Aw hells nah.
- No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no.
- My gosh, I'm done with you.
I knew I should have dumped you a long time ago,
- Baby, baby, baby. I didn't even see nothin'.
- I'm so done with with you, I'm over. This is so done.
- What you talkin' about? I didn't even see nothin'.
What are you saying?
- Whatever.
- What's that, are we not gonna continue?
- I'm sorry to have wasted your time,
but this right here ain't worth saving.
- So you guys just gon' leave?
- [Carter] I'ma tell you.
- What's up, my mamas?
- What's up, man?
You ready for this game?
- Oh yeah, let me just get my girlfriend real quick.
- Take your time.
Game is nine innings.
- [Allan] Yeah. Yeah.
(intense music)
- Can I help you?
- I was just being clumsy,
I knocked something outta your purse
and I was just putting it back.
- Yeah, you need to be more careful, 'cause trust me.
Otherwise, you don't want me all up in your business.
- Fair enough.
So where are all pictures of Rachel?
- We had to unclutter this house.
I don't need to see none of that.
- Yeah, but not one picture
of my best friend's dead wife anywhere?
- I'm his wife, okay?
I don't need to see nothing that's already dead and gone.
- All right, baby. I can't miss this baseball game.
- Okay.
- I'll see you a little later, okay?
- All right.
Y'all have fun.
Catch me a home run ball, okay?
- We're gonna catch a cold.
- Bring your ass home, we gon' see about that.
- Shit, what was that?
- Damn, I missed "Dilemma."
That movie sure do be having some steamy sex scenes.
'Cause you know that's exactly
what I was about to use your ass for.
Baby, I was.
Don't make no sense, now.
Where's that remote?
Find me something else nasty to watch.
(intense music)
Just when you wanna play with yourself in peace.
It's always some shit.
Always when I'm trying to be nasty.
(intense music)
(Mary screams)
- Mary, girl, you always getting yourself into some trouble,
now ain't you?
But you don't have to worry about that no more.
And you sure as hell ain't gotta worry about Allan
'cause he will be taken care of.
You know, 'cause I'ma be his wife, his sister,
and soon I'ma be his only best friend.
- Man, I can't believe you caught that pop-up foul ball.
- Well, believe it broski.
I'm nice with it. You know that.
(phone vibrates)
Oh, hold on. Hold a second. Hold on.
Hello?
Wait, wait, wait, baby, baby.
Slow down, slow down.
What happened?
Okay. Okay.
We're coming right now. We're leaving now.
- What's going on?
- I don't know, she didn't say.
She just said come home, now.
Something wrong with my sister, I guess.
Come on, book it. Book it.
- Jeez, all right, all right, all right.
(melancholy music)
- Babe, hey, hey. What's going on?
- Baby, It's your sister.
- Why? What's goin' on with my sister?
Who are you?
- Look, Mr. Allan.
I'm detective Smith.
I regret to inform you that your sister,
well, your sister passed away this evening.
- No.
Wait, wait, no.
That don't make sense, man.
I just talked to my sister. My sister's fine.
- But baby, but baby.
we know that she takes medication
and maybe she took a little bit too much
and they said she could have went in her sleep, right?
- My sister's not on medication.
Guys, this is not a time to play.
I just lost Rachel.
And I'm not in the mental space
to be, who, at this point.
Detective, you gotta give you more than that, man.
That doesn't even make sense.
What you saying, man?
- Mr. Allan,
when we have more information I'll give you a call.
- Wait, this is too much, man.
- I know, I know. It's okay.
Come here, it's okay.
- It's just not making sense.
(somber saxophone music)
(sinister music)
- Excuse me, do you know where I can find Amy Washington?
- I'm Amy Washington. Do I know you?
- No. I'm Steve Williams.
I'm looking for information on Erica Moore.
- I don't know a Erica Moore.
and I can't talk to you
about anything discussing these meetings. It's private.
- Yeah, I don't need to know anything
that she discussed in AA.
Here, let me show you, here.
She had your business card.
- We pass out those things everywhere, dude.
- Here, let me show you a picture of her.
Basically, she married my friend Allan,
and we know little to nothing about her,
except for the fact that she came here for a while.
- I don't know a Erica, but that's Angela.
Angela Thomas.
- Are you sure that this is Angela and not Erica Moore?
- Yeah, I'm pretty sure.
I mean, unless she changed her name.
I haven't seen her for a while though.
And I guess she's into guys, now?
- Wait, are you saying she had a girlfriend
when she came here?
Yeah, her and this woman named Rachel.
- Rachel?
- I mean, we discourage AA members from hooking up,
but I mean, people gon' do what they wanna do.
- Wait, are you sure that they were romantically together?
- Yeah. I mean the last time I saw them together,
things got pretty heated.
- Yeah. I'm about to leave this AA meeting.
- Angela, we gotta talk.
- Okay.
About what?
- I'ma call you back.
Okay.
When I first started coming to these meetings,
I was in a very bad place.
I mean, you, the support group, it brung myself back to me.
And I owe that all to you.
But Angela, I'm married.
- Yeah.
I know you are, but we talked about being together.
We talked about taking over the world.
Rachel, I love you.
- Yeah, but Allan loves me too.
- But not like me. Not like me, though.
Don't do that.
Come on, now.
- Look, we can't keep doing this.
- But he doesn't know you the way I do.
He doesn't love you the way that I do.
You opened up to me about some things
you couldn't even talk to him about.
- Look, Angela, you were there when I needed you the most.
And for that, I would always love you.
- Don't do that.
Don't do that.
- We can't do this.
- Rachel.
- Angela, I'm sorry.
Look, I gotta go.
- Rachel.
- I'm sorry.
- It's not over. It's not.
Rachel, listen to me. Okay? It's not over.
We can talk.
Oh my God. Really?
(car engine revs)
Rachel.
Rachel, it's not over.
This is not over, Rachel.
- Okay, thank you.
- Steve, what are you doing here?
I didn't know you worked out at this gym.
- Honestly, I'm thinking about becoming a member.
- Okay.
- You know, getting in better shape.
- Mm-hmm.
- What do you think about that, Angela?
- Angela? What are you is talking about?
My name is Erica, you know that.
- You know what? Don't even try to deny it.
I went to your old AA spot.
I found out about you and Rachel.
How she ended it with you to go back to her husband
and then she just mysteriously dies in a car accident.
I think the cops and Allan
would like to know a little bit about that.
If you had anything to do with her disappearance,
I promise you, you will pay for it.
- That's a cute little story,
but I think I got a better one.
You want to hear it?
- I think I've seen and heard enough of you, bitch.
(sinister music)
- You know, I think Allan would love to know
why you distanced yourself from him
a couple months before Rachel died, no?
I mean, I'm pretty sure he would wanna know
why his thin wife started drinking
and went into a very dark place.
I mean, I don't know, what you think?
(Rachel laughing)
- Hey, buddy.
Tonight, we celebratin'.
- Allan, Allan. Where you at, homie?
- Why would you be so loud?
- Is he asleep?
- No.
- Hey, wake up, big head.
- He's not here.
Look, he had a conference.
He'll be back tomorrow.
(Rachel laughs)
- He didn't even tell me.
He usually tells me everything.
- Well, apparently not.
And why are you drunk, celebrating again?
- To a new beginning. Elle and I are done.
- What happened?
I mean, I thought you two were doing so well.
And didn't you just buy her car?
- Well, the thing about beautiful women is
they always want more beautiful things.
She left me for a god damn YouTuber.
(Rachel chuckles)
- Okay, I'm sorry,
but you already know how those millennials go.
You already knew what she wanted from the beginning.
- I don't wanna hear I told you so's Rachel, okay?
(Rachel chuckles)
I remember this day,.
I thought to myself, Allan's the luckiest man in the world.
He's with the most beautiful girl in the world.
- I'm not, stop it.
- No, I'm serious.
- Look, Steve.
How about this? I have a nice, beautiful girl friend.
She doesn't have a curfew,
so she isn't as young as what your used to,
but she does own her own business.
And I mean, maybe she can buy you a car.
- Rachel, do you ever think,
what would've happened if I just never introduced you
to Allan?
If I just kept you all to myself,
Do you ever think, what would've happened?
- Steve, look, you can't think like that, all right?
Everything happens for a reason.
Steve, let go of me.
- No. I love you, Rachel.
- Steve.
- You should have ended up with me.
- What are you doing?
Steve, no. Steve, what are you doing?
Let go of me.
Steve, no.
- Just like you said, Rachel,
everything happens for a reason.
- Steve, get off.
Steve, no.
Steve, stop. Steve.
(Rachel sobs)
(dramatic music)
- I was drunk.
- So I'm pretty sure he would understand
why his jealous ass best friend
forced his self onto his wife?
Right? And drove her into drinking and go to rehab?
- Oh, and that's where she found you, huh?
At her lowest point.
- Look. Don't play with me.
I'm finna tell you what's finna go down.
You and Allan's friendship is over.
No more text messages, no more calls, no more FaceTime.
All of that is done.
So you leave me and mine alone, okay?
- You're one crazy bitch, you know that?
- Yeah, I know.
But you stay away.
- Yeah, we'll see. We'll see.
- Oh, oh.
Hey big fine, how are you?
How'd you like your workout?
- It was cool.
What you gettin' on?
- I don't do that. That may be great.
I'm in here working, I'm trying to.
I just threw a shirt on. I don't do that.
(Erica laughing)
- Anyways, no, it was cool until Steve showed up.
(dramatic music)
- 'Till Steve? What Steve was doin' up there?
- Talking 'bout he wanted to join my yoga group.
- Yoga group? He barely runs with me.
- Uh-huh, right?
But he was a little drunk, though.
I mean, you know, he got that problem.
- But he's working on it, so what problem?
- He was flirting a little bit.
And then he touched me when everybody left.
- Hold on, hold on, hold on. Wait.
So he touched you?
He put his hands on you?
- No baby, not like that, okay?
He said sorry after I told him off.
He was drunk, it's okay.
- How is that not something to worry about?
What the hell is wrong with Steve?
And what you mean it's nothin' to worry about?
What is he doing putting his hands on you?
- It's nothing, calm down.
You a little tense right now.
Relax. Can I help you?
- Yeah, yeah, yeah.
- Yeah. We need to go on another vacation.
We need to clear our minds, you know?
- We just got back from a honeymoon.
- I know, but that was months ago.
That was a totally different season and everything.
- I know what you're doing.
- What am I doing?
- Trying to get my mind off Steve.
- Mm-hmm.
- It's working.
- It's working?
- It's working.
- It's working?
(Allan laughs)
- Yeah, it's working.
- Okay, good.
- What we eatin'?
- Boy.
- I'm just asking.
- I just walked through the door.
- [Allan] I know, but I'm hungry, and I'm.
(dramatic music)
- You got a lot of nerve to show your face around here, man.
- Allan please, hear me out.
- I really gotta talk to you.
- About what?
What do you wanna talk about?
- Please, just let me in. It's about her.
She's not who she claims to be.
- What the hell are you talking about?
What are you doing here?
- Baby, hold on. Wait, baby.
Let him get, get what he was gon' say.
- Okay. Let me get out. Y'all talk.
- I don't know what she's told you, but I was drunk.
I never, ever meant to hurt Rachel.
- Wait, wait, wait. Hurt Rachel?
- I was drunk.
- Steve you hurt Rachel?
I accidentally, I forced myself on Rachel.
- Are you fucking serious?
(Steve groans)
Are you serious right now?
You hurt Rachel? Huh, did you hurt Rachel?
(Allan groans)
I know what she's told you Allan,
but she's not who she claims to be.
Her name is Angela.
(knife squishes)
- Steve, that's a low blow, man.
Shit. Ah.
(somber music)
What. Steve.
Steve, come on. Say something to me, man.
(Steve coughs)
Steve, say something, man.
- I'm sorry.
- Steve. Wait. Steve, Steve, Steve.
Come on, man, I'll get you some help, man.
(Allan sobs)
(sinister music)
- All I wanted was to live a happy life with one I loved,
but no.
I get a lazy, jealous, good for nothing ass husband
who just beat me whenever he felt like it,
which was quite often.
Until one night, you know, while he was asleep,
I took a knife quite like this one to his balls
until he bled out.
And then there was Rachel.
That woman, she was so beautiful beyond words,
baby, you don't even know.
We connected on a whole 'nother level.
I hate she had to die the way she did, though.
I loved her so much.
But what I could never understand is
why she always went back to you.
You know, I was so jealous.
I really could have killed you and her.
But instead I fell in love with you just watching from afar.
Baby, do you know me?
You can really have something.
We got a chance at being happy,
but we can't let nobody come between us.
Not Steve, not your sister, not nobody.
- [Allan] What, wait. What about my sister?
Did you have something to do with my sister's death?
- Look now, she was getting in the way.
That woman ain't disrespect me?
Do you understand?
Tell me you understand.
- I understand.
Erica, I know you've had a rough time, some bad experiences,
but that's not who you are.
I understand you've been through a lot, okay?
I just don't think this is the route to go.
You don't need to hurt anybody
because you've been hurt, okay?
- Mm-hmm.
- I mean, that's why I'm with you are you.
- Are you?
- Of course. Of course.
- Do you love me?
- I love you with all my heart, Erica.
With everything in me.
I'm here for whatever you need, okay?
We're in this together, we don't have to do this.
This is not something you have to do.
You're better than this, okay?
You're much better than this.
I'm here for you
(Allan groans)
(knife squishes)
(dramatic music)
- You should really be careful touching your toes like that.
You know, you gotta stay still.
Otherwise, you'll hurt your hamstrings.
- Thanks for the tip.
- No problem, Tonya, by the way.
- Joan.
Nice to meet you.
- Nice to meet you.
You live around here?
No, I just moved here.
Starting over, you know?
- You have no idea.
But yeah, come walk with me.
(sinister music)
