Previously on
"Our Kind of People"...

You and Angela have something
going, right?

I might've messed that up.
She's got her ex

hanging around.
-I love you.

Aww, I'll catch you soon, okay?

I got to break up with her.

(sobbing)
Mommy?

Rose was my dearest friend.

LEAH:
When you told me to torpedo

her Graceties membership,

you destroyed us becoming
real sisters.

ANGELA:
Piggy turned herself in

for murdering Darius Bates.

Leave Oak Bluffs,
and I will help Piggy

and set up seed money
for Eve's Crown.

Darius?

Teddy gave it to him to hide
the night that

your mother was arrested.

Get ready, Teddy,

'cause I'm coming for you.

♪♪

All right, no peeking.

Now sit your precious booty
all the way down.

All right.

Open!

NIKKI:
What is this?

This is my new line --

Nikki's Halo.

Named after
the most precious,

beautiful, sweetest angel
in my life.

(laughs) Mom!
What?

I know we're
shutting down the store

and moving out of the Bluffs,
but I wanted to remind you

of everything you've
accomplished this summer...

Mm-hmm.
...how far you've come.

I am so proud of you.

♪♪

Thank you, Mom,
but -- but you know

all of these doors opened
because of you.

Like I -- Look at me.

I'm a debutante,
and I'm in love, and...

Ohh.
(laughter)

And my life changed
because you had the courage

to come here
and start all of this.

Yeah, you say that sitting
in the middle of my closed shop.

Oh, hush.

You had a big summer,
too.

Look,
you opened Eve's Crown.

You did right
by your mama.

You didn't get the deal
that you wanted,

but, Ange,
you got so much more.

(both laugh)

I'm gonna go
post all of these.

You do that.

(sighs)

I am proud, but I just
can't stop thinking

about what was stolen
from Mama.

I know that gun Darius gave you

has something to do with her.

I think if I could
just talk to Leah --

Angela,
I know we want to get Teddy,

but I feel bad enough
that you agreed

to leave town on account of me.

You need that seed money
that Teddy promised you

so you can take Eve's Crown
to the next level!

If your father finds out
we are still poking around

in his secrets, he'll renege,

and, baby, you will just walk
away with nothing.

I ain't worried about him, okay?

Mama is watching over me.
I know that.

Now, listen,
Nikki has one deb event left

at the Grand Illumination Ball,
which means I have two days

to clear Mama's name.

And then we'll leave the island

for good.

Still reading the note

She was this Graceties chapter's

most revered president.
(scoffs)

What have I done as president?

I voted against my sister
to keep some secret for Daddy

that he won't even
tell me about.

It was shady.

Angela once told me
that we were two sides

of the same coin.

I just never suspected
that I was the side

that was facing down
towards the gutter.

No, hey, stop, stop.

You're being too hard
on yourself.

You remember what we used

I'll have those plans for you

Excellent.

Ah. How's Leah faring
this morning?

Grieving.

Feeling guilty for helping you
run her sister out of town --

the same sister that was
supporting her at the funeral.

Do not fret.

Angela and I have made a deal
that benefits both of us.

As for Leah,

we're holding a press conference
this morning

which is bound
to lift her spirits.

Franklin Holdings is announcing
that we are back in the black.

Congratulations, Teddy.

Thank you.

We're also announcing
that Franklin Holdings

has permanently acquired
Darmon Foods.

RAYMOND:
You senile now, too, Teddy?

Clear enough to know it's a bad
day to be Raymond Dupont.

I've recently hired
a private investigator

to look into Jack's

"accidental" death.

Now, he informed me

that Jack was seen giving
the key card to his room --

the room where he was
found dead --

to Leah.

You put my daughter
in the position

where she was seeking comfort
outside of her marriage,

which is further proof
that you are undeserving of her

and unfit to step in
as patriarch.

Right, I-I see, because the man

who cheated on his wife
and had an illegitimate child,

who he's also running
out of town --

that man, he's fit.
-Mm-hmm.

I haven't, as of yet,
spoken to the police,

as you had the case closed
so quickly,

but, my PI also told me
that a few members saw you

enter Jack's room
the day of his death.

Now, I'm sure the police would
find that very interesting.

And, despite any
previous misconceptions,

I am taking back
Mr. Harmon's shares.

So, as I said, bad day to be

Raymond Dupont.

♪♪

NIKKI: I can't believe
the ball is in two days.

I've been meaning to say
thank you to you guys

for holding me down

since my grandmother...

well, passed.

I wouldn't have been
anywhere else.

Losing my grandma was one

of the toughest things
I've ever been through,

but having Mama Eve up in heaven

is like having a guardian angel.

Like she guided us here
to the Bluffs,

and now I have Nate and Taylor.

And I-I didn't know
how dope it was to have cousins.

Whatever Grandma Rose
is planning up there,

I'm sure it's incredible.

I like that.

Thank you.

Well, since I only have a couple
more days of beach living left,

I'm gonna go do that
quicksand thing with my toes.

(laughs) Okay.

♪♪

I can't keep acting
like everything

is cool.

I know, it's just --

I don't think that
this is the right time

to tell her that
we're back together.

She deserves to have
a good end to the summer.

NIKKI:
Taylor!

Thanks for coming over

and for coming to the funeral.

I wanted to be there for you,

and I was hoping we could talk.

Yeah, of course, but,

first,
I have a surprise for you.

Thank you, everyone,
for making the time

for this emergency meeting
of the Graceties.

-What is this?
-(sighs)

The other day,

I made an error in judgment

when I cast a down vote
for Angela Vaughn's membership.

This summer, Angela has brought

a fresh perspective
to our group.

I mean, from the very beginning,
she showed her value

when she saved our fashion show.

I mean, many of our alumni
are very impressed

with her tenacity.

You called us all together
for this?

According to the bylaws,

the only way

to revisit a down vote is

if the senior member
of the chapter

grants an exception.

I am the senior member

of the chapter.

Which is why you are here,

-Leah, Leah.
-so that we can discuss --

-Madame President...
-No, no, no, no, no.

Come on, come on.

...you keep spitting in the face
of well-worn tradition --

allowing girls to escort girls

to the cotillion.

And now you're trying
to shoehorn your candidate

into the club to suit

your own whims.

This isn't about whims.

It's about what's right.

All right, a few of us
have been talking,

and we realize that you are

understandably emotional.

But we also realize that it is

clearly affecting
your leadership.

If you don't think that
you can uphold the rules

of this chapter

as its president,

then perhaps you'd like
to take a seat and hand over

the biggest event of the summer

to someone we can trust.

Those rules are antiquated
and you know it.

Your mother believed

in those rules,

and I am not going to dance

on my friend Rose's grave
and change them now.

Keep my mother's name
out of your mouth!

-Okay, okay, Leah.
-Olivia, try me!

No, she -- she is --

(whispering)
she is a spiteful old bitch.

This is your grief talking,
okay?

I've been there.
I've lived it.

You can throw this ball
in your sleep,

and I'll help you.

But right now, just chill

and do what you do best.

♪♪

For those of you
who are in doubt,

let me make this

very clear --

I will not be "taking a seat."

I'm the president
of this chapter,

and this
Grand Illumination Ball's

gonna be the best one ever --

for my mother,

for her legacy.

So dress to impress, ladies,

because the bar
just got real high.

Meeting adjourned.

♪♪

♪♪

Well, I don't understand --
why does Angela still need

to leave town?

You said it was Angela digging
that could hurt Mommy.

Well, Mommy's gone.

As patriarch of this family,

do me a favor
and just let it go.

Angela was there for you
through your heart attack.

She has been there for me more
times than she needed to be.

And, you know, just

to let her walk away
without saying anything

is shameful

and the opposite of a patriarch.

-Mr. Franklin.
-Mr. Franklin!

Hello, hello, everyone.

(Camera shutters clicking,
reporters clamoring)

Thank you all

for joining us today
for the opening

of the Louis Franklin Stadium.

And I would like to give

a special shout-out

to a family who became one
of Franklin's

highest-performing
acquisitions

at the stadium's
concession stand

by featuring an all-beef hot dog

with mustard and sweet relish
and sauerkraut --

the Dupont Dog.

(chuckles)

(camera shutter clicks)

Dupont Dog.
(chuckles weakly)

I don't think so.

Aside from hot dogs,
the Louis Franklin Stadium

will be offering
American luxury, affordability,

and the best damn team

that this country
has ever seen.

So, King James,
watch out for your throne,

'cause we're coming
for your crown.

(tv shuts off)
Shut up. He thinks he's

so untouchable

just 'cause he has money
and power.

I asked you over here
'cause I need your help,

and I think I have
something on Teddy.

Darius gave that to Piggy.

We think it has something
to do with the night

my mother was arrested.

I think it's connected to Teddy.

Now, I know your dad worked
for him.

Is it possible
that he bought it?

Could there be paperwork
in his stuff?

I know it's hard going
through those things, but --

No, no.
I wanna help you.

I'll -- I'll get
to looking ASAP.

Thank you.

So, I hear you're moving back
to Boston?

I've been trying
to figure out how to tell you.

Angela, I'm --
PIGGY: Sorry to interrupt,

but you need to see this, Ange.

I've been doing research
on the web

for newspaper clippings from '84

and found out that Teddy's
brother Louis

was killed the same night
as the Grand Illumination Ball.

Shot in the head.

The case was never solved,

and apparently,
he was very vocal

about the drug problem
in Edgartown

and was working
to clean up the area.

I remember Teddy saying

that, when he died,
they weren't on good terms.

Well, my dad collected rents

for the apartments
he owned over there.

Some of them were
known crackhouses.

It would've been easy for Teddy
to plant that stash on Eve.

Well, you better be damn sure

if you're gonna put
Teddy Franklin on blast.

He could take it out
on Angela.

I would never put Angela
in danger like that.

Oh, trust me, I know.

And that is exactly why we're

leaving here tomorrow night.

Despite what we teach,
our kids have learned

to play chess
and deal in the gray.

He drills it into them,
like he's drilled it into you.

This might cost a lot, but...

you're right.

This dysfunction has to stop.

The only way to beat my father

is to take away the thing
he values most --

his legacy.

I just hope it's not too late

to kiss our whole family
up to God.

Hello.

(gasps)

I would like
to welcome everyone

to the event
that ends our summer --

our Grand Illumination Ball.

(applause)

My mother

loved the
Grand Illumination Ball

for all that it represented.

As the longtime Gracetie
chapter president,

Rose was the light
that guided this group of women

on their path.

So in honor of Rose,

the group would like

to present a gift
from the night that she was

first inducted
into the Graceties in 1984,

to her husband...

Teddy Franklin.

(chuckles)

(applause)

Well...

You can't hide from the truth.

Not anymore, Daddy.

(murmuring)

GUEST:
What is it?

(murmuring continues)

I'm sorry.

This is very emotional.

If you would just
give us a minute.

(breathing heavily)

(continues breathing heavily)

No, no.

Keep that away from me.

(box thuds)
Daddy, I need answers,

so you're gonna tell me

exactly what happened
the night of the

Grand Illumination Ball

in 1984.

ANGELA: You know what?
Let me help you out.

On that night,

Teddy and Rose showed up
at the house of Darius Bates.

Used to cover up his dirty work.

Teddy asked him
to hide a gun that night --

that gun right there.

According to Darius,

Rose was mumbling something
about my mother.

I --

TYRIQUE:
Don't lie, Teddy.

That gun carries
the same type of bullet

that killed your brother Louis.

RAYMOND:
At the time of his death --

the night of the ball --
your brother Louis

was very unhappy
with your business dealings

in Edgartown.

LAUREN: Granddaddy,
what are they saying?

Granddaddy!

I loved Eve...

very deeply.

We were gonna meet
at the dock that night

and run away together.

But before she could get there,

Louis showed up,

and we argued
about my new business dealings.

And while we were
at each other's throats,

I hadn't noticed that Rose

followed me.

She was...

manic.

Angry.

She wanted to shoot me,

and she pulled the trigger,
and Louis jumped

(voice breaking)
in front of me.

♪♪

His life for mine.

♪♪

Rose was never the same,

and neither was I.

Ever since,

I have felt nothing
but guilt and shame.

(sobbing)
I am so sorry.

♪♪

Angela, I was not there
for your mother.

I did what I could,
but I didn't set her up.

My biggest mistake in life...

(exhales sharply)

...was that I loved the right
woman at the wrong time.

I chose Eve,

and Rose paid the price
for my choice.

♪♪

So I stayed --

to help Rose and you --

and I let go
of my life with Eve.

♪♪

♪♪

Who set up my mother?

I don't know...

how those drugs got
into her possession.

I...

It's always been
a mystery to me.

LEAH: Why were you
and Louis fighting?

Because I know you signed
a big real estate deal

that summer in Edgartown

that put the Teddy Franklin
on the map.

That deal was dirty, wasn't it?

Were you undervaluing
the properties

of poor Black folks,
like you are now?

Daddy, is that what he

confronted you about?
-Leah --

-All summer, you've gone
through great lengths

to secure your legacy
by setting me up for the fall.

That ends tonight.

Daddy, your behavior,
then and now,

is abysmal.

And I am who I am, but,

your arrogance is setting
a bad example for the kids.

I mean,
I see how it affects them.

So I want you out of this house,

and Franklin Holdings, tonight.

♪♪

♪♪

You know, in the old days,

the dancing began at 8:30 sharp.

Back then,

we cared about punctuality.

But under Leah's direction,

we are firmly on CP Time.

You know, I doubt that
we will even get

through the inductee ceremony

in time
for the Talented Tenth photo

at 10:00 P.M. sharp.

It's (scoffs) always been
a time-honored tradition

for the Graceties --
-You know,

Mama Eve always taught me

that everyone has
the potential to succeed,

if only given the opportunity.

I mean, this Talented Tenth
business is kind of

(clucking) outdated,

and it's divisive.

You know whose idea it was

to blow up all these
old pictures?

Mine.
-(scoffs)

And do you know what I learned
while doing it?

You missed
the Talented Tenth photo

in 1984.

What happened that night,
Olivia?

Uh, Ruby, would you mind?

Were you just not
talented enough?

Or were you busy
doing something else --

like putting crack
in my mother's bag

before she drove off
to meet Teddy?

She was arrested at 10:15,

driving down to the docks.

Teddy didn't set her up.

I was looking
at the wrong person

the whole time.

You know what, Angela?

Since you're leaving town
and all...

why don't we get this settled?

Please.

Yes.

I planted the drugs.

Your mother was a conniving,
gold-digging,

social-climbing homewrecker

who crushed --

crushed! -- my best friend

and destroyed my one chance
at business.

Satisfied?

You have no idea.

'Cause I finally have justice
(sniffles)

for my mother.

Justice?

You have no proof.

Actually, I have every word.

I'm not sorry.

Now that I know the truth,
I finally understand

I've never felt so close to her.

Mm-hmm.

Olivia didn't get off so easy.

Oh, she didn't.

at least, the funds for it --

Wow.

Oh, well, lucky for her,
I am not in the business

of tearing other women down.

Actually, I'm in the business

of building up our sisters.

Because that is what being
a Gracetie means to me.

Yeah, I actually said that

I know you said it, bitch.

That's why I said it to you!

So, does all this mean that
you're staying in Oak Bluffs?

Nate proposed,

wants me to leave

Tyrique proposed, too.

Well, damn!

Well, where are these rings?

thank you,

even if it was flawed.

And your love for her

perhaps made you want
to help me.

Even if it was twisted,

making me think that I

killed Darius.

But it scared me straight.

Got me clean.

Made me stay clean.

So, what can I say?

You...
