Dear God, thank you for everything
you've done for me and my family.
You keep us happy and safe.
But is it okay if I ask you for something?
(wind howling softly)
Well, I think that was a yes.
Okay.
I know you may be expecting me to ask for cool stuff,
like dolls and makeup and Switch games,
so please know that I won't be mad
if you give me those things,
but this time I've decided to go big with what I'm asking.
I want a little brother.
Can you make that happen?
Of course you can.
I heard it only takes like, three months.
At least that's how it is with puppies.
Thank you, Jesus. Amen.

(soft chuckle)
Mmm. Don't start nothin', it won't be nothin'.
If I don't start somethin', then it won't be nothin'.
- Mmm - mmm.
Mmm.
You know you need to get to work on time.
But that hit and run, though.
It's gonna cause some delays.
There was a hit and run this morning?
There's about to be.
(both laugh)
- Mayhem. - Okay, getting there.
Ooh, you know what'd be so awesome right now?
What?
Some baby oil.
Oh, you want some baby oil?
I want some baby oil.
Yes.
But not for me, for you.
Oh, for me?
For you. Not me.
Oh, Okay. Where's that?
- It's in the night stand. - Go get it.
The night...
G0 get it. Go get it.
- Yeah. - Oh, yeah.
This baby oil.
Oh, you gonna put on a show?
Yeah, baby, a show.
Okay.
(he beatboxes)
Yes.
Yes! (slaps chest)
Oh yeah.
Yes, like that.
- Like that. - I love it.
You like it when I slap it?
I love it when you slap it.
You like it when I rub these ninganins?
Rub those ninganins!
Watch me squeeze those ninganins.
Squeeze those ninganins.
Watch me, is this too much?
- No, baby. - No, no, no, keep going!
- Pinch those ninganins. - Yeah!
Pinch those ninganins.
- Yeah, okay. - Whoo.
Girl, I'm about to pounce.
Yes!
Okay, Simba.
Simba!
(they imitate "Lion King" music)
- (door burst open) - What y'all doing?
What? Rae!
Why are you not dressed for school?
- I heard weird noises. - Like a zoo.
(lighthearted music)
- Like a zoo? - Like a zoo?
Oh, that's weird?
You should go, go, go, go, go, go.
Get, get get, get dressed for school, honey.
Yes.
- Daddy? - Yep.
Why are you so greasy?
Oh, because, sweetie, your mother is a praying woman.
- Yes. - And she put the, um,
the anointing on me.
Sho' did.
- Hallelujah. - But why is it
all over your body?
Because...
Daddy needs so much prayer.
Yes.
- We are a praying family, Rae. - We're a praying family.
- Hallelujah. - Okay?
Rae, out.
Jesus will lead you to, and you need prayer too, baby.
- Go. - Okay.
(door closes)
- Jesus. - Now, where were we?
- (phone buzzes) - Ah, ooh, prayin'
Ooh. (growls) (chuckles)
(phone buzzes)
- Oh. - Oh, come on!
I'm sorry. Wait.
[Jeff] What's going on?
Baby, people are looting the beauty supply store
on East 12th Street.
Roger's saying that he's gonna be here any minute.
Are you serious?
Yeah, I know. I'm so sorry.
I hate it too.
- I'm sorry. - All right.
(car horn beeps)
Oh, that must be Roger.
Baby, I promise. I'll make it up to you, okay?
- Okay. - Can you do me a favor?
- Yeah. - Daddy, I need you to take
- Raeleigh to school. - Yes, got it.
I'm gonna pounce on you later.
(laughs) Okay.
Okay.
(blows out) (phone chirps)
(lighthearted music)
(lighthearted music continues)
Okay, Roger, let's get this in one take, all right?
(bell chimes)
What in the whole?
(light music) (door clatters)
As we see here,
recent community uprisings and protests
taking place all over the country,
have ultimately spread into our community
as angry and frustrated protestors
loot this hair supply store here on East 12th Street.
I am here with the owner, Ms. Lucretia Davis.
Ms. Davis, seeing all this occur in the matter of minutes,
how does this make you feel? (light music)
It makes me feel upset, hurt, betrayed.
I have served this community for more than 10 years,
and this is how y'all repay me!
Listen, looting is not gonna solve the issue at hand.
All it's gonna do is make our communities look weak.
Are those hair products
from the drug store next door, Ms.
Davis?
Yeah. Gotta restock my shelves, you know?
But it's called a circle of life!
Oh, okay.
- Oh my God. - Oh!
Does your wig, ma'am, have a wig?
Listen, you gotta stay ready (light music continues)
so you don't have to get ready, honey, okay?
(giggles)
Roger. Cut.
You know what, just cut.
If you drink pineapple juice, then what does?
It doesn't have the same effect.
And I'm just thinking, you know,
that third that we were talking about bringing in?
- Ohh! - Maybe they would like the...
- Taste. - Okay.
- Okay, we can do that. - Yeah.
We can do that. I like that.
I like that too.
- I like that. - That's brainstorming.
- Mm - hmm.
- It's the teamwork. - You come up with the ideas.
- We do it together. - I'll just, you know,
follow suit.
- Okay. - A little teamwork.
(smooth, jazzy music)
(indistinct chatter)
Ah, Max, Terry, please come in. Have a seat.
- Okay. - Thank you.
All right.
It's a very interesting choice of blouse.
Oh. Thank you.
- Nice pop of red. - That's my favorite color.
- Yeah. - Mm-hmm.
Looks great.
Right, first off, I'd like a thank you both
for coming in this morning. I appreciate it.
Now, unfortunately, I've gotten reports
of some inappropriate behavior between you two.
Not to be candid,
I personally have no issue with office romances.
But a level of discretion and professionalism
has got to be maintained.
We do maintain discretion and professionalism.
- Okay. - Okay, that's good to know.
Just take a look here. (lighthearted music)
Terry, on Tuesday,
did you wear an abnormally short red skirt to the office?
I mean, I do have nice legs.
She does! Ham hocks if you will. (chuckles)
And I don't think there's a crime in showing them off.
- No. - Of course not,
of course not.
Max, when you saw Terry, did you scream out?
"I'd like to put some glaze on them hams?"
Yeah, I said that.
Who doesn't love them some glaze hams for dinner?
I know I do.
Okay.
(both chuckle)
Sure. Delicious.
Listen folks, this is a Black-owned media company, okay?
That's important.
And we have got to do better.
- Hmm. - Yeah, but,
per the employee handbook where
we're not allowed to talk about race.
Hmm.
So?
Okay, next complaint.
(sighs)
Okay, so you remember this past Christmas
the department decided to decorate the offices?
- Yeah. - Yeah.
What did you do?
I hung up the mistletoe.
- Mistletoe? - Yeah, yeah.
I put it in my doorway. It was fun.
And it was festive. There's no harm in that.
- Who doesn't like mistiletoe? - What's that though?
(lighthearted music continues)
Oh, that's a cameltoe, babe.
Now, how come Terry knows that and you don't?
- Because it's mine. - Yeah, I hung that up.
You?
You hung it up.
(laughing)
Okay. Get out of my office.
Oh. (lighthearted music continues)
Get up and get out.
Okay. Can I take this?
- You can have it though. - Okay.
Oh, it's fine. We have copies.
It's fine. Leave it.
[Max] God, that was yours!
- I know. - Oh, man.
I hate my job. I hate my job.
I hate my job.
(puffs out) Come on. Come on, come on, (indistinct),
last video today.
Oh, come on, Tisa.
(sighs)
(long gasp)
Oh, ain't this a-
(phone buzzes)
Oh.
This is Tisa.
Oh, hi.
(musical tone)
Wait, are you, are you serious?
(lighthearted music)
Yeah. No, no, no, yeah.
Of course, of course I'll take it.
Three weeks?
Wow.
(lighthearted music continues)
Seriously?
Atlan, Atlanta. Like at Atlanta, Atlanta?
No, no, no, no, no. Okay, yeah, yeah.
No, I'm, I am, I'm the right choice.
Yes.
Thank you.
Hey!
Hey.
You took a half day, babe?
Yeah. Yeah.
Oh, boy.
(both kiss)
What happened?
I don't know. Just a cameltoe and ham hocks.
It doesn't matter. How was your day?
I have some news.
Okay. Good or bad?
Well, I'll let you be the judge of that.
With the day I'm having any news would be good news.
Except if you, you told me you were pregnant!
Oh! I'd be like,
"That's the awful most news".
So what about you? What you got?
Tell me.
So I heard back about the open desk anchor spot.
- Okay? - Yeah.
And?
Oh. And, I got the job!
For real?
Yeah.
Baby!
I knew it.
My baby girl's gonna be an anchor in Kansas City.
No.
Yes.
Yeah. No.
No. (lighthearted music)
Well, yes and no, because I'm not, it's not Kansas.
It's...
Where.
Atlanta.
Atlanta. How?
Atlanta, who?
Atlanta, Georgia.
How you gonna, how you gonna work in Kansas City?
And then...
Right? 'Cause I'm not.
Oh.
Oh!
So.
So?
Oh, so you wanna sorta move to Georgia?
Okay.
You do know why we left Georgia,
right? Yeah, but,
babe, that was a long time ago.
Wow.
So you really wanna do this, huh?
I do.
I mean, we can't let our pasts
get in the way of our future, right?
You realize I'd have to, have to quit my job.
Are you serious?
- Yeah. - The job that you hate.
Okay, come here.
(soft music)
Think of this as an opportunity for you
to start the HR firm that you've always wanted.
You know, and with the bump in my salary,
it'll give us enough seed money
to get your business off the ground.
How much of a bump?
You ready for it?
Mm-hmm. (lighthearted music)
200% bump, bump, bump.
Damn, Oprah!
Right?
When do we leave?
Three weeks.
Damn, Oprah. Three weeks.
I know. Wait.
- Hi. - Hey, girl.
Is everything okay?
Yes. Why are you asking that?
OMG! Are you getting a divorce?
No, baby. Of course not.
You sure?
- Yes. - Yes.
Think about it really hard.
Oh, no, baby, we're not. (music stops abruptly)
Oh.
Baby, why do you look like you're disappointed about that?
Well, I was kind of looking forward
to having two birthdays. (lighthearted music)
Well, that makes sense.
But actually, really,
your mother has something she would like to tell you.
Really?
Really!
Man of the house?
Okay, listen up.
So you're just gonna leave this up to me?
Absolutely. This is your situation, not mine.
Listen to your mom.
Okay? All right.
Rae, sweetie, mommy received a job offer
and we are gonna be moving away.
Where, honey?
Atlanta.
- Mm - hmm!
Atlanta?
Yes.
Georgia?
There is only one.
No baby girl, I know that this is,
this is probably a lot for you to process.
It is!
I mean, what am I gonna wear?
I'm gonna need a whole new wardrobe for Atlanta.
It's Black Hollywood. (lighthearted music continues)
Reality shows, music, movies.
This is awesome! So happy for you, mommy.
Aw. Thank you, baby.
I'm gonna go figure out what clothes I'm donating
because I need to make room
for the whole new wardrobe you're buying me.
Oh!
And this is gonna come with
a pretty hefty inconvenience fee.
Oh, and just in case this turns out really bad,
I'm gonna set a reminder in my phone
to talk to my therapist about this when I'm 30.
She's gonna need to know when my life
started its downward spiral.
Oh, downward spiral, huh?
Oh, that is your child.
- Wow. - I don't even know
how she talks like this.
Well, I mean, that went a lot better than I anticipated.
Yeah.
I just wanted to let you know.
I'm glad I was here to break the news.
- Would you, Jeff? - Love you.
You help. You...
Jesus.

Hey.
Hi, daddy.
- Oh boy. - How you doing, baby girl?
- Good. - I need some sugar.
(Rae chuckles) (gives a big kiss)
Hey!
So how was your last day working as a slave?
Did Abe Lincoln show up and escort you out the door?
Ah. No, he did not.
You should be happy.
You no longer have to work for anyone anymore.
Now you get to be your own boss and-
And be broke as all get up.
Shh!
Look, we need to show Rae that we're a team, okay?
She needs to think that you're happy about this.
What are you whispering about?
Huh? Nothing.
Just growing up stuff, dear.
Oh, like how Daddy is scared to move back to Atlanta?
It's not hard to tell. (lighthearted music)
Every night I hear mommy singing happy songs in the shower,
and daddy's crying into his pillow.
(laughs) It's pretty pitiful.
I feel bad for you.
That's cute. I'm not.
Rae, why don't you go upstairs, all right?
I'll be up right after you.
I'll help, help you start packing.
- Yes. - Okay.
(pulls tape out)
Baby, come here.
Hmm.
Come here. I'm fine, for real.
I'm fine.
All right. I'm, I'm, I'm happy for you.
Have you really been crying into your pillow?
Absolutely not!
Not since Wednesday, but...
So I take it you haven't called your mom yet?
Yeah, I have.
I mean, like, like kind of, look.
- (lighthearted music) - Did you call your mom?
Like, I called out for her.
Like, "Mama, mama!"
- What do you mean? - "Mama!"
- Mama. - Okay, see, that's weird.
Well, it kind of counts, right?
No!
What's, what's, what's really bothering you?
Are you nervous that we're gonna run into, you know who?
No! I'm not worried.
- Okay. - I'm not.
- Are you worried? - Ew. No.
Okay.
I told you I was over it a long time ago.
- I'm over it too. - Daddy!
Yeah, coming right up.
Jeff!

Okay.
All right, man. Thank you.
For fuckin' nothing.
Woo, who was that?
It's a realtor.
Apparently the,
the contractors are having supply chain issues.
So our house is gonna be ready for a few weeks.
But we have to be outta here in a few days!
Baby. I know.
So, I tell you what, we're gonna put our stuff in storage,
and we'll just have to stay at a hotel for a little bit.
Or we can stay with your mom?
Oh, hell no.
Uh-uh. Look, I'll get us a nice suite.
I'll get us a nice suite. I got it taken care of.
Quit letting your mommy issues,
like, make you so stubborn.
Don't make this personal.
Oka, well can you at least call her
and tell her that we're on our way?
Why? She's got Facebook.
She'll see you on there. You know how old people are.
(scoffs)
Dude, do it!
T, are you?
Do it.
T.
(upbeat music)
(phone buzzes)
Who dat?
Mama, Mama.
Calm down. Calm down.
Everyone is okay. It's me.
Are you sure?
Because for you to call it...
Yes, I know I haven't called as much as I should,
and I apologize, but I've got great news.
Listen, Tisa got an amazing new job,
and it's bringing us to Atlanta.
Yay!
What?
Are you serious?
Yes. That, that's great news,
isn't it?
Do y'all have a place to stay?
Yeah, we originally, we had a house,
but it's not gonna be ready for a few weeks.
So until the house is ready,
we're just gonna, we're just gonna stay in a hotel.
What? You got my grandbaby staying in an extended stay?
No, not, it's a hotel, mama.
Like, we're, we're gonna be in a nice suite.
It's all good.
Okay.
Oh, okay.
(upbeat music continues)
So, yeah, I guess we'll see you soon.
Can't wait.
I love you, mama.
Love you too, son.
Hmm?
That's weird!
I love you.
Are you?
I can't believe you wanted to stay with her.
(laughs)
She's your mom.

Make that money, honey!
Let me peel a K in bills.
(she laughs) Let me pay up.
- Let me pay! - No!
Let me pay that MedicAid. Ooh!
Shake that hip. Don't break the hip.
Hey, hey, hey. All right, enough of that stuff!
- Like get that away from her. - Oh, oh, oh!
Put that away,
Come on, Mama!
Oh, Jeffrey, oh my God.
Oh, I got it.
I didn't hear you come in.
Clearly.
How long have you all been standing there?
Long enough to never, ever unsee exactly what I saw.
Oh, I'm so sorry.
Calvin was just showing me how to use
my new wireless Bluetooth headphones.
You remember Calvin, don't you?
Yes. I remember Calvin.
What, what, what, what are you doing with my mother?
Dude, I missed you!
Nope. Get them away from me.
Get to see, get, nope.
Maybe later.
What is going on?
And why are you here?
He's here because I want him to be!
[Jeff] Oh.
Oh, you want him to be?
The...
- Calvin. - I mean, we were homies.
We grew up together.
We used to go clubbing together.
He, you would stay over the crib.
And it looks like he still does, babe.
You.
(lighthearted music)
Okay.
Dude?
What did I tell you when you left?
Come on, tell me, what'd I say?
You said that you would take care of my mother
while I was gone.
- Yep. - And that you would give her
whatever she needed.
Booya!
That's exactly what I did. Doin'.
Listen, bro, she's getting all the thing she needs.
(balks)
Okay. No, see no, babe, move out the way.
Look, you, can you please put a shirt on
because we have a minor in this house
and all this grease, please go put your shirt on.
- Moonwalk on back. - Oh, yeah.
- My bad! - Just moonwalk on back.
I'll be right back.
(laughing)
Mama.
Oh, boy, stop crying.
Look.
I don't know why you just can't date somebody your own age?
- I tried. - And they're all dusty.
Calvin is fresh, ripe even.
Like a banana ready to be peeled!
Please don't ever say that again.
Please, don't ever say that again.
Oh, look at my baby!
She's gotten so tall!
- Tisa. - Diane.
So good to see you after all these years.
You still look like I remember you.
Mm, thank you.
Hmm.
And you look just as I tried to forget you.
- Ooh. - Okay.
Okay. Rae, why don't you go up, watch some TV?
Yes, baby.
Thank you, sweetheart.
Baby. Just relax.
We'll talk about all this later. Okay?
But you both can just tell me all about this move
you guys made without my knowledge, until three days ago?
Yes. Yes.
Well, actually, it's quite exciting.
It is.
Tisa got off of the job that
she absolutely could not refuse.
Oh, congratulations, Tisa.
- Thank you. - No more workin' the streets?
(chuckles)
It's called a field reporter, Diane. Okay?
Those days are gone.
I am now going to be a prime time desk anchor.
Isn't that great?
- Mm. - That's great, right?
- Thanks. - Honey, what about your job?
Are they gonna let you work remotely?
- Well, - Yeah-
So he is going to start the HR firm
that he should have started some years ago.
And I am just so proud of what he's doin' so proud of him.
- Mm - hmm, yeah. As am I.
And it's about time you pull your weight in this marriage.
(Jeff sighs)
Speaking of weight, are you-
(piano note plays)
(plays "Twinkle, Twinkle Little Star")
Did you?
Mama, you got a keyboard?
Calvin bought it for me.

Oh goodness.
Wow, you look good. How do you do it woman?
You still taking your medicine?
Dr. Gibson did reduce your dosage to one pill a day.
Of course, Melanie.
- Good. - I remember.
Okay.
Hi, fam.
(Tisa scoffs)
Yep.
Fam.
Family.
Son.
Just let her go sweat it off.

I don't wanna talk to you right now. Jeff.
Stop calling me.

Hasn't even been five minutes, ugh, and this (grunts)
God, ma'am, are you okay?
I am so sorry.
(gasps)
Please say something.
Ow.
I did not see you.
Oh.
(lighthearted music)
I'm, I'm sorry. Are you okay?
No. Yeah, no, I'm fine.
I didn't see you either.
Well, yeah, you, you were coming in hot from this way,
and I was coming back from this way.
I didn't have time to respond.
- Yeah. - Again, I'm really sorry.

It's, it's fine.
Okay.
- Good. - You're...
I mean, you're fine too.
I mean, (laughs)
you seem to be doing fine.
Good.
(mumbles) (lighthearted music continues)
Is my head okay? Kind of?
Oh yeah. I think so.
Oh, okay.
Sorry.
I'm, I'm Michael, by the way.
What's your name?
My, (stumbles) you know, I'm, I gotta go.
But are you sure?
Proceed with your run. Sorry.
Sorry.
All right. Well you be safe.
[Tisa] Thank you.
Michael.
(chuckles)
(Tisa sighs)
- Wait, Tisa, hold up. - Oh, Lord.
- No! - Sorry.
Sorry, sorry, sorry, sorry.
Is she still in there?
She left.
Now just relax.
Relax?
Your ex comes to your mother's house unannounced,
handing out her little hugs, and you want me to relax?
Melly Mel, mom, are you kidding me?
And you're telling me right now, you had no idea?
I have, I have no idea what the hell is going on.
Honest.
Jeff, do we really need to relive this?
Tisa? Come on.
It was a kiss, but-
- A kiss?! - Sorry.
That is still considered cheating.
I know, I know, I know.
It doesn't matter. I shouldn't have said that.
Then you lied to me even when I knew
something was going on in my heart.
I know.
And then you tried to make me feel
like I was a crazy person.
I know!
Okay, so if you know,
then you would know that seeing her
makes me wanna kick her face in!
I wanna tie her to the back of our car
and I wanna drag her up and down and up and down
your mother's block until her face is mush.
Tell me, would you kiss that?
That was really specific.
But, look, I promise,
I'm gonna figure out what's going on.
Yes. You need to.
But before we go back in there, we need to be good.
Now, I'm sorry that I wasn't smarter 10 years ago.
I'm sorry I didn't make better choices.
But I'm so grateful that you didn't give up on us,
that you decided to give us another chance,
even though I know I didn't deserve it.
Yeah.
If I couldn't show you how much I've grown since then,
please just let me,
hey, just let me show you now.
Okay?
Can we be cool?
All right.
- Okay. - Okay.
I'm coming in.
Look good in these tight,
- Oh, please. - Sorry, just sayin'.
- Ooh - ooh, they're comin'!
Oh, Jesus.
(Calvin clears throat)
Mama, we need to have a family meeting.
(door closes)
Family only!
Calvin is family.
Ugh, fine. Whatever.
Just sit there and shut up, nigga.
Mama.
The fact that you let Melanie come in here
and try to stir things up in this family was messed up.
Wait, you think Melanie came here to get under your skin?
Please. Get over yourself.
Y'all have intentionally been away for years.
Barely calling, hardly visiting.
Here we go.
Well, life moves on.
And Melanie has been here for the ones you haven't.
After Otis died, after my surgery.
She was here. (gentle music)
So don't get it twisted, baby.
Wait, Melanie was...
Well, why didn't you tell me any of this?
Because whenever you would call,
that was the furthest thing from my mind.
I was just focused on enjoying you while I had you.
So you mean to tell me she just popped up
like outta nowhere?
Don't tell me you didn't know any of this
was gonna happen, Mama!
I had no idea!
That was so long ago I thought bygones was bygones.
Bygones?
Well, you know, we about to be gone.
Rayleigh. Come on sweetie, we are leaving.
That's not surprising.
See, that's what you two always do.
Run away when things get difficult.
(gentle music continues)
Okay.
All right. Well, not this time.
Nn-nn. Nope.
Well this time I'm gonna stay.
Rae, baby, go on back upstairs.
This point, I'll never get a little brother.
I might get two Christmases though.
As a matter of fact, we're gonna cancel the hotel.
- Wait, what? - Yeah, yeah.
Anybody that comes up through this house
is gonna adjust to our presence.
Not the other way around.
That goes for Calvin. And especially Melanie.
I will not be made to feel like a stranger
in the same house that I grew up in!
Neither will Tisa or Rae.
So, with all due respect, mother, we're saying right here.
Fine!
Maybe finally I get to be a grandmother.
Uh?
(scoffs)
Woman is something else.
I'll start getting the bags.
Right.
(door closes)
(gentle music continues)
Well. That was a meeting.

Where?
I gotta get some shopping done.
Hey, hey.
And plus, it's been such a whirlwind for Rayleigh
that I wanted to get her something special.
Nah, I'm good. (lighthearted music)
Come on bro!
We need to talk anyway.
Come on man. Get in the car!
Let's roll man.
Like old times.
Out playing. (lighthearted music continues)
All right.
Yeah. There you go.
All right.
Jazzy Jeff and the Fresh Prince back in these streets.
You know I'm Will Smith in that scenario.
Ooh, hey you, you think Rae would like something like this?
Nah, that's whack.
Come on man.
Why are we talking about everything
but the elephant in the room?
Elephant? I don't know what you're talking about.
My mother is the elephant.
Dude.
Don't ever call your mother that.
She's nothing like an elephant.
She's more like a-
Don't. Please stop.
Just don't put your arms.
Okay, Okay, my bad.
Listen, your mom and I are happy.
Why can't that be good enough for you?
Because she's my mom.
But she's also my lady.
Why can't you appreciate that?
Because she's my mom!
Okay. Okay!
Look, just talk to Diane about it, okay?
She'll fill you in on how everything went down.
But besides all of that,
you need to stop focusing on us and focus on your marriage.
'Cause y'all got some issues that need addressin'.
Yeah. I just knew that Mel would be long gone by now.
I, I just thought she would,
she would end up meeting somebody, getting married,
and just like fade away into the background, you know?
- Yep. - That's usually how it happens.
But this is different.
You know, Jeff, when Diane got sick,
you had your own family you take care of.
So who do you think filled in those gaps?
Melanie.
Surgeries, X-rays,
doctor's appointments to tell you about the results.
All of it, man. Mel was there.
Yeah, we get it.
Okay.
But it's Tisa?
Right.
Oh, snap!
Bruh. (lighthearted music continues)
Rae is going to love this thing.
Oh man. It's not even in the packaging.
Must be a store demo.
So fine, so lifelike.
Right?
It's one of those Tyler live dolls, man.
If you, if you pat the back, it's supposed to like...
- Burp? - You know, burp, yeah.
Oh, so real.
I know.
[Doll] That.
Is that a, did it say something?
Wait, that's not fake.
- That's not fake. - It's a baby!
- That is a real baby. - Oh, snap.
(kick connects)
Oh. Ah.
(child laughs) 0h, shit!
That is an evil laugh!
Think I hit my ACL.
Ah, Jeff.
(child laughs)
He's laughing at me.
Find out how much they want for it.
(lighthearted music continues)
(Calvin grunts)
God, he's all over the place.
Jeff, find his mama!
I miss this.
(laughing) (door squeaks open)
No, no, no, no, no, no.
I get why you have your packages delivered to my house,
but no, I do,
but I don't think anybody's gonna steal it off your porch.
Well, okay, it's here, all right?
All right, ma. Bye!
Jeffrey?
Duh!
Hey.
Can you please just relax?
Please stop acting like I have the cooties.
- Cooties. - I'm, why do you have a key?
I'm family.
Right. Right.
You've made that abundantly clear before.
So, how are you?
How?
Um. Okay.
Where's Calvin?
He's knocked out on pain meds.
Pain meds?
Yeah. That's, long story.
Jeff, look, you do not have to be worried about me.
I know my place. Okay.
Well, I, I don't know what you're talking about.
Okay.
Ain't nobody worried about you, girl.
I don't know why I just said that. That was weird.
(laughs) Well, good, good.
Because I'm all about peace.
Okay.
You know, no confusion here.
(phone chimes)
Oh, you know what?
Tell Calvin I will check on him
after I'm leaving the station,
please. Yep.
Wait, station.
Where, where do you work? (suspenseful music)

All right. Later.
Yeah.

I cannot wait to go on air with you and knock this out.
You're gonna do great.
Thank you, Paul.
- Mm - hmm.
You ready?
You are going to love it here.
Everyone is so nice. We're basically like a family.
I am excited to be here.
We're excited to have you.
Thank you.
We are gonna go on soon so let me go ahead
and get you to the green room.
Okay.
(knocking on door)
Come in.
This is our in-house makeup artist. Melanie.
Melanie, meet Tisa.
Hi. Nice to meet you.
Hello.
Well, have a seat.
I'm gonna take really good care of you.
Well, I will let you do what you do.
Tisa goes on soon and we're tight on time, so.
Oh, no worries. No worries.
I'll have a right out.
I mean, she might have to run to the news desk,
but she'll be ready.
Well, that's what I like to hear.
- Mm - hmm!
- You're in great hands. - Thank you so much.
(chuckling)
I oughta whup your ass!
- Really, Tisa? - After all these years?
Have you not read any of my emails?
You know what? I'm gonna do my own makeup.
- What? - No, come on, come on, come on.
Stop. Don't do that.
Don't.
If you do that, then, then they'll know
and then they'll start asking questions.
Is, is that what you want on your first day? Drama?
Come on, man.
Is that really the impression you wanna make?
Just, have a seat.
Okay, let me go ahead and just match you.
So...
Listen, I just, I'm really sorry for everything.
And we're off.
- No, no, no, no, no. - I'm being sincere.
I'm being sincere.
I had a moment of weakness
that should have never happened.
You're damn right.
But cut the nice girl act. Melanie.
Look, you didn't owe me anything, Jeff did.
He's my husband.
But I've forgiven him because he's earned my forgiveness
and he's still earning it.
But you? (scoffs)
I don't have to forgive you.
You are irrelevant to me.
Wow!
Wow. I wasn't apologizing for you to forgive me.
I was apologizing because it's the right thing to do
to make amends, so again, I'm sorry.
Ladies, we are more behind than I thought.
We need to get Tisa to the desk now.
Oh.
We're live in two minutes.
Okay, well, let me just go ahead and tap her
'cause she's a little shiny. (lighthearted music)
So let me just-
- Oh. - Wait, let me.
Listen. Stop.
Oh.
Okay. You gotta stop.
- That's enough. - Tisa, just,
just wait a second. That's enough.
But you, but I have, but it is just a little,
you just gotta let me, but Tisa.
Ohh.
(phone chirps)
(tense music)
Oh!
Oh.
- Perfect. - All right, thank you.
Paul. Are you ready for this?
I know that I am.
I was born for this. Let's go.
What the hell?
- All right. - We are live in 5, 4, 3.
(dramatic music)
Welcome to Channel 4 News.
I'm Paul Denson and I'm joined by my new
partner in crime, Tisa Murray.
Tisa. We are excited to have you as part of our news family.
Thank you.
So how are you, Tisa?
You feeling okay?
Of course, yes.
I'm so happy to be here and I am ready for this
wild and fun ride, so, let's get to it.
(dramatic music)
Well, actually, Tisa, first we have breaking news,
thank God, as a big storm is heading our way.
So we're gonna throw it over to Rayna in our storm center
for a quick update.
[Rayna] Wild will be rolling in later tomorrow.
What was that about? (lighthearted music)
What is this?
Oh! Oh, my God!
What is this? What did she do to my face?
Oh my God!
What is this? Oh my God, oh no!
Tisa we're on the- (dramatic music)
What is this?
And we'll be right back.
(sighs) Hey, mama.
Hey son.
What's wrong?
- Erm. - Did you, did you see the news?
- Yeah. - Yeah.
I did.
Wow.
It's just a lot with the Melanie thing and Calvin.
So what, what is, what's up?
What's up with you two?
Like, for real?
Like, like...
Why?
(scoffs) Why not?
Calvin's good for me. He makes me feel young.
After your father died and you left,
what was I supposed to do?
Sit at home watching reruns of 227 and wither away?
I don't know, but it's, it's, it's not about
you not being with dad, but it's, it's, it's about
you being with someone your own age.
Have you seen the men my age?
Like Mr. Dansby.
You remember him?
Yeah. He, wait, didn't he die?
Exactly!
Point taken.
But it's Calvin!
Yes. Calvin.
Ugh. Calvin.
- Yes, Calvin. - Mommy, Calvin.
Calvin.
Calvin?
Calvin.
He used to eat his boogers.
(she chuckles)
Well, he used to play cops and robbers
and then he would sleep over and then you'd make breakfast
for us in the morning when we were kids.
It's Calvin.
- Mm - hmm. He loved my biscuits.
He still does. (laughs)
Oh, that is so gross.
Oh boy. Come on baby.
Come on. Have a seat.
(soft piano chords)
We can't help who we fall for.
Love is not logical.
If it were logical, you would've ended up with Melanie.
Mama.
What did Tisa do to make you dislike her so much?
Besides taking my only child away from me?
Oh, come on now.
It wasn't like that.
Oh, it was definitely like that.
You didn't have to tuck tail
and run away from the issues here.
What was I supposed to do?
I was trying to save my family.
And if that meant starting over,
then I, I had to start over.
Yeah, it was that simple, huh?
No, no. (piano chords continue)
Dad understood.
Tisa purposely alienated you from me.
She had a master plan and it worked.
Mommy.
All right, so you think her master plan
was to have me cheat on her with my ex-girlfriend
all so that she could pull me away from you?
That's what you think?
'Cause that takes some goddamn commitment.
You watch your mouth in my house!
Excuse me. (soft piano chords)
Mommy. I, I understand that
you didn't...
I understand that you wanted me close to you,
but given the circumstances, Melanie should have backed off.
Look, Mel may have messed up, but she didn't do it alone.
They're still taking her side.
You don't realize she is like a light switch.
She can be manipulative, and vindictive, and you,
you just don't see it.
(scoffs)
You know what I see is a man
too scared to put his foot down
instead of leaning into the fact that this was his home!
Well, Mommy, I just, I did what I had to do.
What if I had died?
Mama?
What if I had?
But you didn't.
- But, what if I had? - But you didn't.
No thanks to you.
(soft piano chords)
Mama.
I'm sorry...
But I'm the one who chose to leave.
It wasn't Tisa, it was me.
So blame me.
I love you.
Well.
If you love me, then you would give me a grand baby.
- Oh, here we go. - Like I actually help
raise this time.
For the 10,000,000th time
Tisa and I don't want another child.
I love you.
Love you too.
Famous last words. (chuckles)
(approaching footsteps)
Hey, baby. You, you okay?
I saw the news.
No. I'm not okay.
Did you know that Mel worked for Channel 4?
Because she has some nerve to give me a sorry-ass apology.
Then she sent me on air with white powder all over my face
looking like some damn albino dalmatian!
- No. - How embarrassing!
Yeah, I mean, it wasn't as bad.
But you know what? I'm gonna talk to her.
- As you should! - I'm gonna talk to her.
I need, I took like person to per,
'cause it's, this is crazy.
Well, yeah, of course you should!
Considering it was all your fault!
All my fault?
Yes.
Okay. I get that You're upset.
I didn't, I don't know how what happened to you today
was my fault, that was Melanie did that, I...
I'm sorry.
I'm sorry that you went through what you, but it's not.
- No, I get that you're upset. - You didn't?
No.
Not even just a little?
I know you're not gonna sit here
and play some innocent little victim.
'Cause it'd be just so awful if you did,
because, oh, my God!-
- Don't be sarcastic with me. - Oh, my God!
Huh!
- That must be so awful for Jeff - Why am I getting
the sarcasm right now? Right?
- T. I get that you're upset. - Jeff.
I understand.
No, you don't!
- Jeff does nothing wrong and - T, I have done
everything that you have You're just always right.
Asked me to do to get past this.
- Of course! - Everything that you have
asked me to do
to get past this. Like what?
Like, move here.
I didn't wanna come here!
Oh, now you didn't wanna come here. Tell me more, Jeff.
Tell me more.
- I will. - I didn't wanna come here!
You're the one that said we were cool.
- Remember that? - Why are we even
in this situation in the first place?
Because of your career!
No, not of my career!
Your words were, your words.
"We can't let the past affect our future."
Stop doing that. You...
- "I'm so innocent". - But you cheated on me!
- Oh! - You kissed Melanie.
- Okay. - "It's not my fault"
- (fake sobbing) - Where d'you wanna go?
Are we going back there?
"We can't let her back in
our marriage". I knew it, I knew it.
You haven't forgiven me.
- Oh no. - I knew it!
[Tisa] Okay, you know what-
Did you say you forgave me?
- Oh. - Just be honest!
- Okay. - Be honest!
Okay. But you know what?
We can't move forward unless you forgive me.
- Please. - At least I'm honest!
"At least"? You know what?
You, you're honest?
Well, you were honest when you kissed Mel, were you?
See, you drive me crazy. I quit.
I can't, I gotta go. Can't deal with this.
Find some forgiveness.
Oh, you know, on some forgiveness, how about this?
That's forgiveness.
Goodbye!
And my shoe is on the wrong foot!
Go then!

(laughing)
I'm, I'm actually good.
I'm just right over. Right over there.
Okay.
You know, I gotta admit,
I really do appreciate you sticking around to the closing.
(indistinct) Honestly,
I think that's the most fun I've ever had at my job.
Same.
Thank you for spending time with the blabber mouth.
(laughs)
Well, I enjoyed every word.
Good.
So, Angel is singing next weekend if you wanted to go?
Don't worry. I'm not gonna dedicate any more songs.
Well, I mean, it's not that.
I think I may have seem to forgotten that...
- Ooh. - Yeah.
Yeah, there is that.
And I haven't really been the best wife today.
Friend. Right?

Said every side piece ever.
(laughing)
Right. Friend.
Yeah. Yeah.
I gotta admit that was kind of like my Hail Mary.
Listen, we had a nice moment,
but it'll just have to stay a nice moment.

Thank you.
I'm gonna go, but take care of yourself, Michael.

Smells amazing in here, Diane.
I have missed your cooking.
Well, hopefully you'll stay long enough
to actually eat it.
We'll be here.
No, I'll believe it when I see it.
Why don't you help me mix that icing there on the counter?
Okay.
Do you have a mixer?
I have two mixers.
Your right and left hands.
This will do.
Okay. Do you want me to stir it or shovel it?
You mind pouring me a glass?
Yeah.
All right.
Cooking is better when I'm tipsy.
Pour yourself a glass too.
I'm good.
But,
have this for you.
Diane, I know it doesn't seem like we're happy to be here,
but I just want you to know that we really are.
(chuckles)
This is just a means to an end for you all.
If that house was ready, you wouldn't be here.
Diane, can you gimme a break?
I'm, I'm trying here.
Look, I'm not going to apologize for the fact that we left.
Okay?
But I'll be honest,
we should have visited you more when you were sick.
But I'm done.
I am done with the past, Diane.
We are here now. (gentle piano music)
Okay. Your granddaughter is here.
We're not moving too far away.
And you can have your son back.
But can we just please start over?
Please?
Thanks for your help.
I can handle it from here.
Diane!
Thanks.
I got it.
(gentle piano music)
(pan sizzles)
(laughs)
- Here baby. - Lemme get you some more tea.
I got you a little bit.
Thank you.
Not so much 'cause there's so much sugar there.
She's gonna be bouncing off the walls.
Can you put it all the way to the top
where it's almost overflowing?
No. No.
What'd you say?
Please?
[Jeff] There we go.
Fun police.
(laughing)
There, I've got this.
Bread.
- Give that to me. - Thank you mama.
Now the party can start!
Grandma, everything looks delicious.
Why, thank you baby.
I'm serious, Mama.
I don't know if this is chicken or pork under here
it's smothered in so much gravy.
Everything looks amazing.
- Thank you, honey. - Yeah.
Slow down.
[Jeff] Easy, girl.
Is it good a little bit?
It's good. And I don't even care what it is.
Chicken, pork, pigeon, doesn't not even matter.
Ah, sho' you right.
(laughing)
She loves a good bird.
She used to have a pigeon
You liked him too.
(laughing)
Hi everyone.
Sorry I am late, ooh. (music stops)
I had to put in overtime at work 'cause well,
you know what that's about.
Ooh, look at this spread!
You did this?
Okay.
Ooh, this looks good.
- Nope, you know what? - It's fine.
Hmm. It's perfect.
- What are you doing here? - You were not invited!
I'm glad that she's here.
'Cause then it's easier to hide her body.
- Right in this house. - I knew you had dinner today.
You know I'm not missing your good cooking.
I know that, Mel, but this is not a good time!
- It's a good time for me. - Well it's dark, baby.
It's real dark.
- All this is doing - 3:00 AM in the middle
of the woods, dark.
So you've come back into the light?
I'm coming back into the light.
Take a deep breath up.
- (breathes in.) - Stop it.
I'm back. I'm back, baby.
I am back.
[Mel] Tisa. Jeff.
How you doing?
How are you?
All right.
Oh, hi sweetie.
I don't think we've been formally introduced.
I'm Miss Melanie. You must be Rayleigh, right?
Yeah.
Don't, don't do that.
What? I'm just trying to
break the ice.
Oh, okay.
Yeah, you've been breaking a lot of things
since we showed up.
Don't you think me and you have done enough of that?
Okay.
Mel, ease it up a bit, okay?
What?
Yeah. Chill out.
Okay. All right. (chuckles)
All right. Hold on now.
I feel like I just walked in a minefield coming here.
I just wanted to spend time with my family.
See, Mel, that's the problem.
You think that this is your family?
Well, it is.
No, it's not.
Mel. Look, baby, look.
We have to tread lightly, okay?
Until we can figure out this dynamic.
Okay. I have apologized like a thousand times.
What else can I do?
Well, you can try leaving.
- Okay. - How about you try leaving?
Excuse me?
[Both] Rae!
I know, I know.
Now that inconvenience fee applied.
Did should just?
- Mm-hmm. - Okay.
- You know what Melanie? - Say how you really feel.
Get it off your chest.
Mel.
- Go ahead. - Well, I'm good.
I'm good. We're all good.
We're all good.
Yes, we are.
I just, I don't see what he saw in you.
(slow applause by Tisa)
That felt good, didn't it?
I'll tell you what I saw in her.
I saw everything that a wife and a mother should be.
(soft music)
You know, I haven't been the most supportive husband lately,
but I hope she knows that
you are everything I could have ever dreamed of.
So, shame on you.
Shame on you for coming up in here
and trying to disrupt what we have.
If your goal was to bring drama, well,
congratulations, you succeeded.
But if your goal was to,
to break up the love that we share together,
you're gonna fail 11 times outta 10.
(soft music continues)
Because, we're unbreakable.
Unbreakable?
Didn't seem that way when we were a tribe.
Mel, shut up!
I-I don't know how I could have been so blind.
Maybe it's because of what you've been to me,
but I cannot allow you to come in here
and do what you're doing.
Mm.
To be a part of this family is a privilege, not a right.
So you're choosing Tisa over me?
I'm choosing my son over you.
He and his wife are starting a new chapter in their life
and they get to de decide who they want in
and of It doesn't include you, then so be it.
- Wow. - I did not see that coming.
Maybe I should give you guys some time.
Maybe you should.
It's stressful times right now and considering the move,
the new job, oh, not to mention the new baby on the way.
Oh wait, what?
Jeff didn't know about?
Oh, I mean,
I thought you would've known considering it's your wife.
Ooh. Geez.
My bad. I didn't mean to
spill the beans.
Like, I'm just-
- Whoa, whoa, whoa. - Tisa, Tisa, Tisa, no.
- Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa! - Just let her go.
The sooner as she leaves the better.
Okay. You're right.
Wait, what?
You heard us.
Ma?
Mel. Just go.
You know what?
Okay.
Fine.
(gentle music)
Baby?
Is it true or?
Are you pregnant?
I need to, I need to get to work.
Okay.
- Sorry. - Mm-hmm.
[Tisa] Thank you.
(gentle music continues)
(door closes)
Okay. Excuse me all.
Hey, Jeff.
Yeah?
Go to her.
Yeah.
We might as well finish this food.
Ain't no sense to that bird dying in vain.
Geez Louise.
That was interesting.
It was like-
That was a mess.
Like Jerry Springer all over again, right?
Yeah.
I thought Tisa was about to give her her left hand there
for a while. Oh, that Mel, she's messy.
Messy Mel.
- Messy Mel. - Been that way
since high school, I tell you.
Should have saw when she's a cheerleader
and Jeff was on the football team.
- No, I- - I swear.
Listen, baby.
Don't let messy Mel get your blood pressure up. Okay?
How are the greens?
They're amazing.

We begin with breaking news in Fulton County
where an employee at a Domino's
was allegedly shot over putting pineapples
on the suspect's pizza.
Wow.
Yes. You heard that right.
Excuse me.
[Paul] I guess not everybody
likes pineapples on their pizza.
- How about you, Tisa? - Is this a rehearsal?
I mean, I personally don't,
but I wouldn't shoot someone over it.
(laughing)
The suspect is in police custody
and this is an ongoing investigation
and there is no further information
at this time. Tisa!
I just need to speak
to my wife. We will keep you updated
as this case develops.
[Jeff] Can you cut, cut.
- Keep the camera going - Thank you, sorry.
It's gonna be great for ratings.
Hey, are they, are we, can we do this?
What are you doing here?
Look, I found this in our bathroom.
God, you peed on that a lot.
I'm at work.
Look. Wait man.
- What's up? - What's up brother?
- Love your work. - Hmm.
I'm trying to profess my love to you.
- What? - So.
- I'm- - Shh!
All right. So I haven't done this before, so I'm just,
I wanna get this right.
I'm not good at this. (gentle music)
So just bear, bear with, oh, here goes.
Truthfully, Tisa,
I didn't want to grow our family because I,
I hate my career and, and I didn't want the added pressure.
But after this month,
I realized that it doesn't matter
how much pressure is thrown at us,
we never stop being a team.
(gentle music continues)
And, and if our team's gotta grow, I'm all in.
I mean, we can build a whole football team if we need to.
But, I realized that
there can never be too much family in our family.
- That was tight, right? - That was dope.
He's crying.
- It was beautiful. - My man.
There's never too much family for our family.
And baby, I can't imagine sharing our family
with anyone else with you.
(gentle music continues)
I love you.
I love you too.
Oh baby. Are you about to?
Nope.
But it looks like you-
I'm good, nope. I'm fine.
I'm a thug.
- She thought I was. - No, he's not a thug.
- I'm a thug. - He's, he's not a thug.
Don't say I'm not, though.
Tupac said it's okay to cry tears.
- See? - He said that.
- See? - Oh, really?
So it's okay.
- It's okay. - Dark men and tears.
See, what album was that?
- I don't- - It doesn't matter.

Anyway, we was at the toy store the other day, man.
One of those there AI toys from Japan was in the aisle.
I picked it up thinking it was one of those
Tyler Alive dolls.
Thing was alive. Started moving!
What?
Yeah, kicked me in my knee.
I've been icin' it down for the last 24 to 48 hours.
I swear, it's been tough.
(knocking)
So the best in that is what we put-
Where it supposes when you're pregnant?
Yeah.
Oh, it's as bad as that Does it hang?
Hi.
[Diane] What are you doing here?
[Mel] Well...
It's okay. I invited her.
[Both] You did?
- Yes. - We talked everything out.
[Both] You did?
Yes.
And I forgave her for you, Diane,
'cause I know how much Melanie means to you.
And although I'll never consider her family,
I know that you do.
And plus, I trust my man.
My baby.
She's more than welcome.
Thank you.
- Hey. - Uh-oh.
There's so many cars outside.
I had to park around the corner.
Guys. This is my new boo.
This is Michael.
I call him my little Jonathan Ranger.
[Michael] That wasn't little last night.
Oh.
- Okay. - That's a lot of information.
- Come on. - Come on in.
Okay.
Where's the bubble?
Just don't 'cause those.
(chattering)
That's a tall drink of water.
Are you good?
- Mm-hmm. - Okay.
Yeah, now that Melanie has her own man,
I am more than good.
Yeah.
Okay. Ready?
Yes. Ready.
[Both] Rae!
Oh, wait.
No, no. Rayleigh.
Come here.
Mommy and Daddy have something we'd like to tell you.
Yes.
(laughing)
All right, y'all.
We have an announcement?
Come here, baby.
As you know,
we're very excited to have moved back here
and we're on a new journey
with the love and support from all of our
friends and family.
Speaking of family, we have a new addition.
I got this. (bright music)
Guys, the big news is that I'm pregnant!
(cheers)
Congratulations!
Thank you!
(excited chatter)
God really does answer prayers.
Yes. Yeah, he absolutely does.
I prayed for a little brother.
What?
I've been praying for one every night
for the past two months.
Baby, do you really think that God answered your prayer?
Of course, Daddy.
Think about it.
I've been praying and praying and praying.
I prayed so hard I couldn't be ignored.
Wow.
Oh, and I forgot to mention,
at first I asked God for a little brother.
- Right. - But now I'm thinking
of asking for a brother, a sister, and another brother.
Baby girl, I don't think mommy's gonna be too cool
with having to get pregnant two more times.
No, not two more times.
All at once. Triplets!
Trip. You said triplets.
Triplets.
You said triplets.
Triplets.
Baby?
Yeah.
Are you okay?
Huh?
You look like you've seen a ghost.
I'm, I think I've seen three.
- Oh. - Are you okay?
What's going on?
- No. - You look queasy.
I feel that way.
This morning sickness is starting to become
morning, noon and night sickness.
- Right. - And I just, ugh.
And I just kind of feel like I'm having like three.
Triplets. Triplets?
What?
Triplets?
Jeff, no one said anything about-
Are we having triplets?
What are we ha.
- Triplets. - No one's said
anything about any triplets.
No. You just said three and then you stopped.
I was saying that this morning sickness
has me feeling three times worse than when I had Raeleigh.
But do you think that we're having triplets?
No. No.
Why, are we having triplets? (bright music)
- I don't think so. - Okay.
- I don't know. - Okay.
Okay.
I mean, you did say though that
there's never too much family in our family.
So would you, would that be a problem if we did?
Oh God. That would be a problem, wouldn't it?
No, no, no, no.
- I guess. - It'll be okay,
I start to get anxious.
I think we'd be cool.
You think so?
I do. Give me a kiss.
We'd get through it.
So if we don't take it, I'd like to dance with my wife.

I was thinking, how about trip-
(grunting)
Oh! I cannot believe this!
Everything I do for that woman.
Oh, God.
Don't be sending your packages to my house no more.
She'd do that to kick me out.
(indistinct)
Ooh.
Oh!
God. Damn.

Not again.
Are you okay?
I've literally never been swept off my feet.
I'm glad I could be your first.

Yes.
