You're never up

Couldn't sleep.

I wanted to catch you
before school.

What's that?

I'm gonna ask Naomi
to marry me.

Valeria: We can't.
Jill: We shouldn't.

Not without Bree.

I don't think she's coming back
any time soon.

Plus, there's so much going on
with the label.

I mean, Lauren starts
her college tour tomorrow.

I wanna be there
for her.

Yes, and this is
Valeria's moment.

Something feels off
about touring solo

when we didn't get
to start our tour.

Since when are you
the kind of person

that doesn't take
what's in front of them?

I'm not dumb.

I do hear what people say
about me.

"Why they got that Puerto Rican
chick in the group?

She can't rap."

And it's just weird that
I'm about to stand onstage

for the first time

without the people
who carried me there.

Humility.

Self-awareness.

Bubby, come on.
This time, you earned it.

And now you're doing it
for us.

Nasty Girl Records, baby.

That's right.

So, is Thomas gonna go
on the road with you?

Nope.
You said "no" like --

It's over.
I told him the truth.

I can't do it.

I don't want
to have a baby.

H-He wasn't okay
with that?

He says he was, but I know
it's what he wanted.

I wasn't willing
to sacrifice.

How could I ask him
to do the same?

We talked, we cried,
we love each other,

but I couldn't live
with the guilt,

and he didn't want to resent me
down the road.

Girl, your therapist
needs a statue

erected
right outside of her office.

She really is
incredible.

[ Laughs ]

You guys,
things are good now.

I'm excited
for what's next.

You didn't borrow money
from Jada for this, did you?

Stop.
A jeweler owed me a favor.

You would find a way to turn
a proposal into a hustle.

This isn't just
about Naomi.

It's about making
this family legit.

I need to know
you're cool.

You know she's probably
gon' freak out

and find a way to make this
a bad thing, right?

Planning on it.

Then you know what you're
signing up for.

Just keep her smiling.

If she's happy,
then I'm happy.

So, what's your plan?

I'm a nervous wreck.
[ Chuckles ]

If I wait any longer,
I might fumble it.

Tomorrow,
I made a dinner rez --

Thanks.

A lot of what
you're rapping about --

reforming
the criminal justice system --

that's the stuff
our group is focused on,

for ways to amplify our voice.

We'd love to talk

Nah.

The last couple of months
have been great --

waking up in

Said he was

No.
Why would he do this?

Is it true?

Hey, yo, can someone please tell
me what the hell is going on?

It's Cam.

He's petitioning
to establish paternity.

Yo, why would he do this?
There has to be a reason why he's doing this now.

[ Sighs ]

Let me see that.

Look,
Jojo isn't a minor.

Thought you said
you two never --

It was none
of your business.

Look, you always suspected
Cam and I,

but we were
just friends.

Then...
[ Sighs ]

The night we fought in the hotel
about Valeria,

I needed someone.

He was there.

Look,
it -- it happened.

Why would you tell me
Jojo's mine

if there's a chance
she's not?

Because she is.
I'm not asking about

what you feel or
what you want to be true.

I'm ask--
It was a long time ago.

So it's possible.

Maybe, I guess.

♪♪

Yes.

Why wouldn't Cam come
and talk to you about this

Muffin: When I was studying
for the Bar,

you learn about all
these different laws

and when they came to be,
but not why.

I'm sorry. You just studied
for the Bar and passed?

No, I never took it.

Cash Merm and the Bakery
turnt me all Michael Corleone,

so I figured I could reach more
people if I switched my flow up.

But what good is a message
with no audience?

Danica: That's kind of
our problem, too.

We're focused on
death row inmates --

trying to get
their executions stayed

until they can get
a new trial.

Frankly, the only
success we've had

is when we can get celebrities
to roll with us.

I don't know much
about the death penalty.

I mean, I rap about
non-violent drug crimes.

That's Ronnie Mills --
28 years old from Las Vegas.

Convicted of murder
when he shot a man at a mall

on his 18th birthday, but Ronnie
claims it was self-defense.

A jury of his peers says
it was premeditated murder.

He looks so young.

And he's gonna be executed
next week.

You think you don't have clout,
but you do.

Help us make Ronnie Mills
the cause of the day.

♪♪

Did he do it?

Ask him yourself.

It just sucks to think
you've put something to bed

after 20 years,

only to find out
nothing is resolved.

I mean,
what does Cam care?

Maybe he wants to get
back with you.

I can't think of a dumber way
to go about it.

He is a man.

I called Cam last night
to figure out

what the hell
he was thinking. Okay?

He just texted back,
"Let the lawyers handle it."

Well,
what's Jojo's vibe?

She's not talking to me.

She's not talking
to anyone.

Jojo: You're the only person
I can talk to.

Naomi's a drama magnet.
They all are.

All the olds.

And then they look at us
really weird

because we're not okay
with them misgendering folks.

You know you don't have to do
anything, right?

That summons
is basically useless

because you're not
a minor.

Frankly, Killa Cam has no way
of establishing paternity

unless youagree
to submit to a test.

Or unless he climbs
through the window

and hijacks
your toothbrush.

But then I'll never know.
But is that the question?

You went 20 years without
knowing who your dad was, Jo.

Now you have Eric.

So, does it matter?

Eric: It matters to me.
I don't want it to, but it does.

Is everyone's friend group
this messy? [ Chuckles ]

Sometimes I feel like
this whole crew is cursed.

If you think that way,
that's how it'll go.

You want me to secret
this BS?

I just don't want anyone
thinking the worst

before they have
a reason to.

I know this hurts, and I know
how much you love Jojo.

But all of this
is gonna play out

exactly the way
it's meant to play out.

Then you get to decide the
relationship you want to have

moving forward.

Nothing has to change.

I was hoping
everything wouldchange.

Jojo: He was gonna propose
last night.

[ Gasps, squeals ]

I'm dead!
I'm literally dead!

He was so nervous.

He asked for my blessing,
and then this.

That's amazing,
but I'm gonna keep it real --

their drama
has run your life.

If you want to find out,
take the test.

And if you don't,
just let it ride.

That's all
you've gotta do.

Naomi: No idea
what she's gonna do.

I've been researching
the death penalty.

Lauren got approached
by an advocacy group

to help with a case.

Well, look at you.

Ronnie's attorney was disbarred
10 months after the trial.

He didn't call
two witnesses

whose statements contradict
the State's account.

I mean, that alone should be
grounds for appeal.

So, you are gonna
help him?

Is it the best thing
for my career

to put what's left of my name
behind a convicted murderer?

If you could do something and
didn't, wouldn't that be worse?

he's Jojo's father, too?

Wait, wait, wait.
Why such short notice?

Chuck said they were discussing
candidates for next year,

and they really wanted to
nominate the Nasty Bitches,

but thought it'd be more
relevant the year you came back.

Do they know
Bree's in Costa Rica?

Probably part of it.

I mean, get the group back
together, drive ratings.

Yo, this really feels
beside the point.

You were a young woman
who had sex with two men

because one of them
was having sex with two women.

Stop it.
We deserve this.

She said she can't do it.

all the time.

getting calls.

No. Maybe push it
to next year.

Who's to say
she'll be back?

If what happened to Bree
taught me anything,

it's that everything can be
taken away at any moment.

If she gave us her blessing,
we gotta take it.

Whoever it is has to embody
Bree's spirit.

Maybe Cardi or Megan?

No.

This group is special
because of our chemistry --

chemistry that we've built
over years of performing,

bickering, and then
having each other's backs.

Guys, we're a family.

You don't get to just be a part
of this -- our history --

without even earning it.

You want us to haze
Missy Elliott or something?

No, V.

I want to give Bree's spot
to someone who's family.

None of this would be happening
without you.

You're the little sister
I never really wanted

and pretend not to like
but kinda love.

Jill: You gave us your stage
when we needed it.

Now you need an audience,
so here it is.

I'm not Brianna.

No one is, but you gave us
our second chance.

We owe you,
and we would be honored

to share the stage
with you --

as long as you don't
give up on Ronnie.

Aww.
[ Sniffles ]

All right.
[ Chuckles ]

But none of that
old-lady choreo y'all do.

We gotta turn up.
Huh?

Okay, then.

Zadie: It's crazy
what can happen in 20 years.

♪♪

Good times.

Bad times.

Life, death.

♪♪

But in the past 20 years...

♪♪

...these queens have managed
to maintain their crowns.

♪♪

The most influential female
hip-hop group of all time...

♪♪

...the group formerly known
as the Nasty Bitches.

[ Cheers and applause ]

These queens took
the music industry by storm

and made it their bitch --
twice.

But they mean more to hip-hop

than the millions of records
they sold.

They changed the game.

And they inspired a generation
of young women.

Then they did it again
20 years later.

I owe them a personal debt

for helping me get back
to where I am.

We love you.

[ Cellphone vibrating ]

[ Cheers and applause ]

But I'm not the only one.

What's good, ladies?

Wha?
What?

I'm honored to say
a few words...

...about the most fun,

most fearless rap group
of all time.

Nasty Bitches had bars, too.

Y'all could flow
with any of the boys.

"Heart of Queens" dropped

when I was in the studio
making my first album.

We listened to it on repeat
the whole night.

I was like,
"Who are these chicks?"

Wow.
Back in the days, it was really hard

for female emcees to say
what they wanted to say.

So to have four unique female
voices in one rap group?

We'll probably never
see that again.

Wow.
It's true, yeah.

Welcome to the Hall of Fame.

Much love.

[ Cheers and applause ]

Whether it's myself or Trina,

Lil' Kim or Cardi B,

the influence of this iconic
group is everywhere.

So, without further ado...

Brianna:
Hold up, hold up, hold up.

Yeah, I gotta get
in here, too.

[ Cheers and applause ]
Bree!

Whoo! Whoo-whoo!

Hi, ladies.
Hey!

Listen, I am so sad
that I can't be there

with you tonight,
but I had to show up

and let you know how proud I am
of all that we've accomplished.

It's never been easy for us.

I mean, y'all kind of
got me shot.

[ Laughter ]
But it's the sad stuff like that

that makes moments like this
so much more special.

Y'all mean the world to me.

Naomi, you are probably
the most unbalanced friend

a person can have,
but I don't know... [ Laughs ]

...a single person
more loyal than you.

Valeria, you are you.

[ Chuckles ]
You've never not been you,

and when people realize that,
they gotta love you for it.

Jill, I would not have survived
any iteration of this group

without you by my side.

Low key, the funniest.

Low key, the shadiest.

[ Laughs ]
I love you.

I love you all.

Man.[ Sighs]
We love you.

We have been through
so much together.

Things that should have broken
us, but they didn't.

Because in the end,
we had each other's backs.

We are family, ladies.

You are my sisters.

I hope to see you all soon.

Make sure you kill it tonight.

Wait, one more thing.
Yes. Kill it. Oh, yes!

I used to be a Nasty Bitch.

But tonight, I'm a queen.

[ Cheers and applause ]

I love you.

Oh, my God, are we
supposed to perform now?

Hall of Fame, make some noise

for the Nasty Bitches!

This is the number of inmates

Since 1973,

Not numbers -- people.

Ronnie Mills, 28.

He's been in prison

on the radio hoping for this --

a chance to bring back the good
things in my life that I lost.

I did it. [ Chuckles ]
Yeah, you did.

But I got way more
than I expected.

You made me a father.

We're a family.

See,
I let this go once.

I can't let that
happen again.

Wait.
What are you doing?

Naomi, you're
an incredible person.

There's not a person in here
who would say they've ever met

anyone like you,

I'm lucky to know you.

I'm lucky to have you
in my life.

I'm lucky to have
a family with you.

I only have one vow --
a promise.

I promise to not be
the person I was before,

because
it's always been you.

You've always been the one
I was meant to stand beside.

But my actions didn't always
live up to that.

I promise to always make you

I love you.

you're corny.

you become a man, a father.

I didn't want to overshadow

To USC?
Yes.

Can you imagine
this is where we'd be?

It's lonely
being on tour.

People are loving it,
and I'm being accepted

for who I really am,

but then I go back to my
dressing room and it's quiet.

I miss coming offstage
with my arms around you girls.

I miss Jill stripping down
halfway naked

half a second after we enter
the dressing room.

Circulation.

I miss Naomi asking us
how awesome she did

in a way where she's telling us
and not really asking.

What did Naomi say
before the BET performance?

We don't need a crowd.
Yes.

Together:
We don't need a stage.

We need each other.

Yes!

And we have each other.

But nothing will ever measure up
to us having one another

and performing
together.
