Previously on
Our Kind of People...

I think Teddy supplied crack
to Edgartown

and let my mother
take the fall for it.

Teddy keeps journals
in his home office.

Angela, he can't know
that we're together.

I just want this cotillion
to be perfect.

NIKKI: I'm being
introduced into society.

I just have to find
a father figure to dance with.

NATE: Nikki needs a father.
After 17 years.

LAUREN: Starting over
is a big deal,

especially for someone
who has a criminal record.

Why, Lauren?

I watched you
kiss my girlfriend.

I don't want to be around
you anymore.

You're out of cotillion.

I'm gonna destroy
Teddy Franklin.

What's the plan?

RAYMOND: Alex Rivera.

I would think twice
before bringing

her back into our lives.

TEDDY: The strength of
the tremors have picked up.

LEAH: How long are you going
to keep it a secret?

TYRIQUE: We better get back.
We don't want them wondering

where we are.

Dr. Keller, it was no more
than a dizzy spell.

DR. KELLER: Which could have
been much worse.

If you keep ignoring
my medical advice,

I'll have to
discontinue --

Do that,
and my endowment

to your institute in Geneva
will discontinue.

Understood?

Good morning.

(sighs) Good morning.

Please, sit down.

I, uh...

I called you here
this morning because

when I excused myself

from dinner
the other evening...

I saw you and Angela...

slip out of my office.

♪♪

Is that why
the cameras have gone dark

at Eve's Crown?

Are you involved with her?

I'm sorry, Teddy.

I-I couldn't
keep spying on her.

Mm-hmm.

This is a knot
of my own design.

My demands
on those closest to me can

take a toll, like --

He was doing his job.

Your father was a bodyguard,
not a bill collector.

I sent him to Edgartown
to collect rent

because I knew he would
treat people with dignity,

and he lost his life.

I know the story.

Someone high out of
their mind

shot him on the front step
for serving an eviction notice.

I sent you
to spy on Angela

because I trusted you.

Trust means a great
deal to me, especially

if you're seeing
my daughter.

(laughs) You know,
if she has trust in you,

one day, she will come
and place her trust in me.

(scoffs)

Spying on Angela isn't a way
to gain her trust

or get to know her.

You've been absent
her whole life.

You're right, my boy.

I'm going to give
Angela and Nikki

a cotillion week
to remember.

Alex.
What brings you to Oak Bluffs?

(sighs)
Well, I haven't taken a break

since
the Obama administration.

So I decided to summer here
with friends,

Graceties
from the Manhattan chapter.

Well, you all are so lucky
to have found a rental,

you know,
this late in the season.

And just in time
for the Oak Bluffs Cotillion.

Come to think of it,

last time I saw you
was at your cotillion.

Well, that was ages ago.

Another lifetime.

For those of you
who are unaware,

Alex was married
to Raymond for...

wait, did you guys make it
to 12 months?

(chuckles) Thank you
for the warm welcome.

I know my presence
as a celebrity

can be a little daunting.

You know what's

Hey. Got you 911 text.
What's happened?

Alex Rivera.

She's in Oak Bluffs.

-Really?
-Mm.

Hmm.
She say what she's doing here?

I don't know.
She's probably trying to glow up

from that raggedy
Manhattan Graceties chapter.

You know, I think
she's still salty

that you chose a true marriage
instead of a mistake.

I just hope that
that's the last we see of her

because my plate
is already full

with everything having to do
with the cotillion as it is.

No, listen, she's probably
just trying to sip some rosé

and floss
like the rest of the guests.

Mm.

I'm sure it's nothing.

I hope you're right.

You know, I thought
being the face of Eve's Crown

would be a lot more glamor
and a lot less,

"Hi, welcome to Eve's Crown."

You know, if these women
filled the food bank

the way they're filling up
on free champagne,

we would solve world hunger.

I feel like there
are 10 times more

Black people on this island
than when we first got here.

Including Miss Alex Rivera.

Well, now, you know that
I've been ear-hustling

these broads all morning,

and apparently, when Raymond
and Alex were together,

she wasn't one of them.

But now she is. Sort of.

Yeah, it seems like
they only really count you in

if you're born in.

And what does that say
about you and Nikki?

-(chuckles)
-Is that why you're letting

Teddy stand in as the father

for the Father-Daughter dance?

Teddy offered.

I thought it would be
a great opportunity for Nikki

to get to know him.

I can read it
all over your face.

How do you really feel
about your daddy

taking her to cotillion?

All right. I'm still trying to
play the nice daughter

to find out
what happened to Mama,

but I don't trust him.

I just can't help
but feeling like

he doesn't do anything
without an agenda.

I even may have some dirt

on what he was up to
back in the day.

Tyrique and I got his brother
Louis Franklin's journals

from 1983 and 1984.

You and Tyrique have been
working on this together?

Mm-hmm.

Ange, you are
in dangerous territory.

I know. For both of us.

But I don't have a choice.

I have to find out
what Teddy was up to

when my mama was arrested,

figure out
the connection between him

and those drugs that were
being run in Edgartown.

That's how I'll clear her name.

Mom? Um, I know it's busy,

but I got a text
from Taylor.

Something about cotillion.

Can I go?

-Yeah, you can go.
-(chuckles) Okay.

Okay, Taylor, so we're at
the beach, clearly.

Yes, but no peeking.
You're gonna love it.

-Oh, my -- It feels nice.
-Step over here.

Give me your hands.
Take a big step.

-There you go.
-Okay.

All right. You ready?

Okay.

Oh -- What --
What is all this?

Nicole Vaughn,
will you allow me the honor

of escorting you
to the Oak Bluffs Cotillion?

(chuckles)

You want to be my escort
to cotillion?

-Yes.
-Oh. Okay.

Um...

Well...

I would be honored.

Okay, so, there's
one more surprise.

The other debs thought
what Lauren did to you

at the Claiming Ceremony
was foul,

so we took a vote.

All right.

Oh, my God.

Taylor!

"Most Congenial".

Most Congenial reads
the Letter to Fathers, right?

(sniffles)

I know your dad
wasn't really around,

and if you want to,
you don't have to.

Oh, no, no.
I -- The debs chose me.

Of -- Of course I want to.

Um...

"If it feels nice,

My motives towards
my granddaughter

are well-intentioned.

I want to get to know her,
as I do you.

I'm here bearing gifts.

You can't buy her affection.

Mm.

It's tradition.

The father gives
the debutante daughter pearls.

These pearls belonged
to my mother,

given to her by my father.

I would like to include Nikki
in that lineage.

As for you, my gift --

No, I don't need your trinkets.
Thank you.

No. It's a gesture.

Something I'd like
to help you with.

I received a letter
from a Nate Robinson.

The media attention
and gossip

compelled him
to reach out to me.

He said that he was hurt
because he was not able

to protect his daughter
from all of that.

Here.
You can read it for yourself.

It's -- It's all in there.

And when he explained the
particulars of his case,

he's been passed over
for parole twice.

Did you know that?

And yet, even behind bars,

in a system that failed him,

Nate's heart and mind
are with you and Nikki.

I'm compelled to answer
his cries for assistance.

-He asked you for help?
-Mm-hmm.

And I'm sure
I can do something.

I mean, I've raised funds
for the Innocence Project.

I'm connected to
the state's Attorney General.

And this is the relationship
I want us to have --

supporting one another.

Us...against the world.

So, you're saying you could
get him out?

Hmm.

I-I mean, I need time.

Uh, Nikki doesn't --

I need to prepare her first.

It's not gonna
happen overnight, Angela.

Um, legal briefs,
proper investigation,

hearings --
it could take months.

I need to think about this.

I'll wait until
you make a decision.

I can't give you back

Hey.

You told Teddy about us?

He already knew.

He saw us
leaving his office together,

but I don't think he knows
we took those journals.

Well, I skimmed them,
and I didn't see anything

about my mom
or about Teddy dealing drugs,

but I did see something
in this one about a Calvin.

That's your dad, right?

Why would my dad be
in Louis' journals?

He only worked for Teddy.

What's wrong?

You seem like you got
something else on your mind.

(sighs)

It's Nikki's father.

Nate.

Teddy offered to get him
out of prison.

Just like that.

Like he was deciding
what to order for dinner.

Is that a bad thing?

Tyrique, I've thought a lot

about Nate getting out

so Nikki could have
a relationship with him,

but just now,
all of a sudden,

because I'm a Franklin,

his freedom is
a phone call away?

It just feels like --
not cheating,

but, like, what about

all the other Black men
in prison wrongfully,

unfair sentences,
who don't have a Teddy Franklin?

Teddy took me in and changed
the course of my life.

For a while,
he made my father's death

feel like
hitting the lottery,

and I-I struggled
with that.

But then I-I realized

Teddy was trying
to do right by me.

I think he's trying to do
the same for you and Nikki.

Take the access he has.

Then find a way
to pay it forward.

-Mm.

So he did cut the camera.

And he's seeing Angela.

He lied to me, which is

At the tone,
please record your message.

Angela, call me back.

I think Teddy's been lying
about how my father died.

OLIVIA:
You are our blessings.

(applause)

Champagne, please.

Uh, he'll have a water.

(scoffs)

You ready for
Letter to Daughters?

Mm-hmm. Steady as a rock.

(both laugh)

OLIVIA:
...Leah Franklin-Dupont.

Oh.

There's your cue
to introduce me.

(applause)

Good evening, everyone,
and thank you, Olivia,

for your decades of service
and amazing leadership.

On the night
of my debutante ball,

my father delivered
the Letter to Daughters.

20 years later, to once again
bless us with his wisdom,

my father, Mr. Teddy Franklin.

(applause)

Thank you.

With daughters, a father's role
comes with added responsibility.

You are the one she comes to
in fear, in confidence,

for advice,
to lean on at all times.

But fathers sometimes
fall short.

Angela Vaughn, my daughter,
you deserved better.

I thought grand gestures could
sweep away years of inaction.

I hope an apology gives us
a real start.

Angela...

I'm sorry.

And now, our most
Most Congenial debutante

will deliver
Letters to Fathers.

Nicole Vaughn.

My granddaughter.

It's all right.

Speak from the heart.

(sighs)

I don't know what it's like
to have a father's love,

but I was blessed to have
three amazing women in my life

who made sure I had
everything I needed.

Though all the fathers out there
deserve their thanks,

my Letter to Fathers

will send some love to all
the amazing mothers out there.

Like mine.

You used your entire speech

Public acknowledgement

I've jumped through

covering for you.

Lying to my husband for you.

Keeping your diagnosis
a secret.

I mean, I'm the one
who supports and protects

the great Teddy Franklin.

Not her.

I don't even get a mention

in the
Letter to Daughters?

If you want to spend the time

No.

I saw what you did for Nikki.

-Oh.
-Thank you.

You're welcome.

And I have
good news for you.

Nate is gonna be released.

-Released?
-Mm-hmm.

I spoke with
a few of my contacts.

Turns out Nate is
part of a database of cases

that were under review
after all of these

social-justice uprisings
and is

eligible for immediate release
due to gross negligence.

He is on his way
to the island now.

You know, this is my life.

This is my daughter's life.

You don't get to just
make decisions that affect us.

You know, I have offered you
everything I could think of

to earn your trust,
including an apology.

I should be able to do this
for you as a father.

One apology doesn't erase
years of abandonment.

Neither does
a family bracelet

or a letter
or your connections.

You were never
a father to me.

Stop trying to be one now.

He was so smug,
so proud of himself.

Like, son,
you don't know my life.

He doesn't know what this means
for me, for Nikki.

And what about Nate,
who's just gonna be

dropped into this new world.

I mean, the audacity.

You want
a piece of this cake?

'Cause it's good.

Why are you so calm?

You trust Teddy Franklin
less than I do.

You don't got
nothing to say?

You don't want to hear
what I got to say.

I want to hear
what you got to say.

No, you want to see
some furniture moving

up in this Mickey flick.

All right, fine.
You want the real-real?

This ain't about Teddy.

You just mad because
you're gonna have to

step in some mess
that you made.

You been lying to baby girl

about her father for 17 years,

and it stops tonight.

You gonna tell her the truth.

Now!

Threw away my damn cake.

It's a good dadgum thing

I thought to get me
a second slice.

TEDDY: Oh! There you are. Ha!

I noticed you were not in
attendance tonight with Angela.

How did my father die?

The story you've told me
all these years isn't true.

Perhaps I misremembered.

It was a painful loss.

I spent my whole life
believing your lie.

Are you accusing me
of something?

Why the story,
when he was found in his car?

Because that's where
he shot himself in the head.

(breathing heavily)

Your father
committed suicide.

Your mother and I
made up that story

for the insurance company.

We told them that
Calvin had been working

at the time of his death
so that you and your mother

would be provided for!

That would not have happened

if his death
had been reported as...

self-inflicted.

I hate to tell it to you
this way, son --

I'm not your son.
Teddy? Hey.

Hey. Hey, can I get some help?
Somebody?!

-Teddy.
-Hey. I heard yelling.

I was supposed to meet
Mr. Franklin.

How can I help you,
brother?

Help me
get him to the hospital.

Call 911.
Tell them we're on the way.

Hey.

Teddy.

Teddy.

I talked to him last week.
I want that exclusive.

-So you need to follow --
-As much as I want

Teddy to pay for what he's done,
my marriage comes first.

You have to leave.

Let's go for a little ride.

-(scoffs)
-Driver.

I never would have answered

your call if I'd known I'd be
chased out of town

by a Dupont again.

What do you mean again?

20 years ago, I wasn't
your mother's vision

of the perfect woman
for her perfect son.

Leah was.

Olivia and Teddy made sure
that their little prince

and princess
could get married

and create the dynasty
that they both dreamed of.

Your mother wrote me a check
to get out of town.

You took money to walk away
from our marriage?

(sighs)

Olivia and Teddy threatened

to have my parents deported,
Raymond.

I had no choice.

♪♪

It's a lot of money.

I never cashed it.

I keep it as a reminder

Leah.

Okay, okay, okay. Calm down.
Calm down, babe.

I'm on my way.

Is everything okay?

Teddy had a heart attack.

Take me to Oak Bluffs Hospital.

MAN: Yes, sir.

NIKKI: I'm too hyped
to go to sleep.

I've never had
an experience like this,

and I-I don't want tonight
to end.

ANGELA: Nikki, honey,
can you sit down?

I don't know where to start.

I gotta tell you something.

-Angie.
-Piggy, not now.

Tyrique is on the phone.

It's Teddy.

Well, can you at least
give us an estimation

about how long
he's gonna be in surgery?

WOMAN: Ma'am, I don't have any
information right now.

Just have a seat...

-Hey.
-Hey.

ANGELA: What happened?
He had a heart attack?

TYRIQUE: They said it's a good
thing we brought him in.

An ambulance wouldn't have
made it in time.

We?
