Previously on Being Mary Jane

I'm not mad, I'm hurt,

I'm on this rollercoaster ride with you,

so, when you decide to jump
off, I feel the scrapes, too.

I would like to formally welcome

"Great Day USA" 's newest
correspondent, Dani Hollins.

[clapping]

NIECY: There was a guy.

His broke ass only wanted
help getting his art out there.

You wanted to come to New
York and find a sugar daddy

who was gonna solve all your
problems and take care of you?

Maybe it's time to
get real with yourself

and find that thing that makes
you wanna get up in the morning.

You two... you're
involved, romantically.

I'm taking you off Mary Jane's
stories, and that is not all.

Justin, I'm sending you to Kansas.

- ? The mating game ?

- ? Hold me close ?
- _

- ? Enough to drink my rose ?
- _

That's what I thought.

Okay.

? The devil in my pocket turned to gold ?

?

? Sorry to warn you ?

One little look around won't hurt.

? You're in a daze ?

Hm. Sorry not sorry, girl.

? Tonight I'll love you ?

? But tomorrow go away ?

? Step right up You got this right. ?

Woo, good mornin'.

Hey, mornin'.

Oh...

what's got you goin' this
early and dressed up to boot?

Oh, you know that old saying...

- the early bird gets the worm.
- PATRICK: [chuckles]

Nobody's gonna help me be successful,

- so, I've gotta go get it.
- Mmm...

Is this about some guy?

No, it's not about some guy.

A job?

Not just a job, a career.

And what sparked this new attitude?

I won't know. I guess...

seein' New York,
spending time with Auntie.

It just gave me a whole new perspective.

I'm steppin' into my destiny.

[sniffing milk] Mmm...

Well, when you get to destiny,

pick up some more half &
half 'cause this is bad.

KARA: Hey, girl, guess what?

That bullied cub scout that fought back,

I told his parents

that he deserves to tell
his side of the story.

We've got a full-fledged
social commentary

on our hands now.

- Yes, mama!
- Ahhhh!

EMMA: [laughs]

WOMAN: Okay.

DANI: I mean, I'm all about more
eyes on me, but why the sudden push.

Well, since Ronda dispelled
those nasty rumors,

they wanna promote "GDU"
as one big, happy family.

DANI: I mean, we all can be related,

except for Mary Jane.

She could be our adopted
sister from Malawi.

Is your social media
comfortable with that?

Uh-oh, a closed-door conversation.

Am I being let go?

Oh? No. No.

Oh? Then what did you
want to talk to me about?

Snooping.

How far is too far?

In other words, what did you do?

I may have taken a box of keepsakes

from Justin's apartment.

In other words, you didn't
start with misdemeanor snooping,

you went straight to grand larceny.

Yeah, I only looked at,
like, an eighth of it.

Perhaps, a third.

- Perhaps.
- And what did you find?

Okay, so, he dated this
girl named Simone for years,

and he saved every one of the
birthday cards she sent him.

I didn't peg him as a romantic.

I know, but he also may have
slept with his therapist.

There was a letter. It was cryptic.

Look, I'm not supposed
to know any of this.

You took a man's private belongings

and now you feel guilty.

We have been together for weeks,

and I still feel like I
don't know anything about him.

Put the box back and talk to him.

- I will.
- When?

After you've looked through everything?

- Basically.
- Immediately.

And by the way, Mary Jane,

if you don't book my bartender Lorenzo,

he won't be available
for your house warming.

Right. Yeah. I can't do that party.

Why not?

You know how "GDU" is
trying to sell the whole,

oh, they're one big happy family thing?

And I thought, oh, great, I
can invite my friends from work.

Except now Justin's gone
and Kara's not talking to me,

and my brother, PJ, is
trapped in Dubai somewhere.

I have no buffers. I can't do it.

It's a work party now. You can't cancel.

Suck it up, girl.

And it won't kill you to
plaster on that fake smile

and play hostess with
the mostest for one night.

You do it every day at "GDU."

I sure do.

Watch me work.

TY: [laughs] Right, then.

[knocks on door]

I never expected to see
you back here, Niecy.

I know, Claudia.

I was wondering if we could talk.

I don't have much time.

That's okay.

Look, I just came here to apologize.

I screwed up...

major bad.

Our agreement was that
you give me a booth

while I was in school
working on my license.

Not everybody gets that deal.

I realize that now...

and I never should have dropped out.

You have the talent,

so, I thought I could
take a chance on you.

Well, since you feel that way,

I was hoping that you
would give me my job back.

Look, I even paid to enroll in classes.

I've got the receipt right here.

Honestly, Niecy,

I don't feel comfortable
taking another chance.

I can't afford to.

NIECY: [sighing]

Look...

this is important to me.

When something is truly important,

we do the work and
we don't make excuses.

It's not an excuse.

You were a single mother.
You know how hard it is.

Yes, I do,

and I still found a way to
be a mom and go to school.

So, if this is what you
want for you and your kids,

you'll find a way to do both...

at some other salon.

Now, if you will excuse me,

I have to get ready for my first client.

?

Protest is telling the truth in public,

that we use our bodies and our voices

to tell the truth in the street.

Be mindful that we aren't born woke. ***

It's important to remember
that activism, that protest,

is not only in the street.

It's not only retweeting a hashtag

or wearing a t-shirt,
or standing outside,

but a movement is many things.

- And as we move forward...
- [coughs]... it.

CROWD: [murmuring]

As we... move forward,

it's important that we remember

that we take the truth
with us everywhere...

to the dinner table, in our schools,

in our churches...

Nah, what we need is a real leader.

MAN: Yeah.

Thank you, Patrick Patterson
for the invitation today.

AUDIENCE: [applauding]

Mr. DeRay Mckesson, a powerful voice

from the Black Lives Matter movement,

comin' down here from
Baltimore to help mobilize

and motivate us and
help us speak our truth.

Let's all show him some more gratitude.

AUDIENCE: [cheering, applauding]

Tying that workout story
to chronic back pain...

that was fresh.

It was Justin's idea, wasn't it?

[sighing]

I suppose that's why he got
the senior producer gig...

all those fresh ideas.

Well, I thought he got the job

'cause Ronda wanted another Black.

I think they knew each other.

- Hm...
- But, you know...

Justin's a smart producer.

Yeah. Isn't his mother White?

EMMA: Mmm, I don't... know.

Excuse me, Dani?

I'm sure that a woman
with your elite background

doesn't mean to suggest
that Justin's intelligence

is attributable to his
mother being Caucasian,

right, 'cause that comment
would be incendiary,

and flat-out racist.

Well, no, that's not
what I meant at all.

I was referring to his blue eyes.

You know, for once, I
really wish that I could make

a simple observation
about a person of color

and it not be labeled as racist.

Bullshit!

Yeah, I'ma... I'ma call it.

I'ma go ahead and call bullshit!

And not that his racial background

is any of your concern,

but both of Justin
Talbot's parents are Black.

So, contrary to what your
narrow mind might believe,

White people do not have a
monopoly on unique eye color

any more than they do on intelligence,

which is a fact that you
drive home on a regular basis.

So, the next time you get the
urge to exercise "free speech,"

by unclogging that
verbal diarrhea factory

you call a mouth and spewing
your partisan bullshit

all over this studio,

do us all a favor and shut the hell up,

you ill-mannered, over-privileged,

under-educated simpleton!

Shut up!

?

_

?

The fall-out from this mess
is going to cost us viewers,

which means lower ratings,
which means lower revenue.

So, when I get upstairs,
we need to talk to Legal.

[door closes]

How bad is it?

Girl, first tell me... are you okay?

No. No.

You know, I never thought
I would actually miss

the days when racism was
administered covertly,

you know, 'cause this...
this president, he has...

he has encouraged the
dim-witted radicals

to just walk on over
and start shit with me.

And you know what really sucks

is when you're branded unreasonable,

or "the angry Black woman,"

or, "oh, gosh, she's
so overly sensitive,"

when you are actually offended
when someone is spouting off

with their racist opinions.

But we live in a free country

where everyone is able to just...

[sighs] speak their truth, right?

[sighs] By all accounts,
you are correct.

And Justin and I just had
a frickin' win with Garrett

with that last story and now...

I don't know how to deal with this.

I'll go to Garrett's
office to assess right now.

Girl, while I'm there,
regain your composure...

and step out of here like
you're the anchor of this show.

Thank you.

Great hearin' you live, brother.

No, it's great to see you.

I've heard so much about
the good work you're doin'

out here in Atlanta, so, keep it up.

I know there's a lot of work to do.

Black hooders have been talking you up.

I don't know what that
means, but I thank you.

Just trying to do my part.
Excuse me for a minute.

What's... what's your name, man?

Jovan.

It looked like you had an
issue with today's speech.

It's still a free country, right?

Yeah, if we stay vigilant,
it'll stay that way.

But there's a right way and a wrong way

- to voice opposition.
- Nah, I get it.

What? You think I'm just some thug

you can school about tactics, right?

No, I'd actually like to
hear what you have to say.

Nah, I would, I would.

How about we go grab a bite to
eat and we can talk about it?

Get some real food.

- You buyin'?
- Yeah, I'm buyin'.

A'ight. What are we
talkin'... pizza or burgers?

Whatever you prefer.

Niecy, you're good at
hair, so just do hair.

But I don't wanna do my friends' weaves

in my grandmother's basement.

A chair at a salon would make me legit,

get me clientele.

Well, doesn't your mother do hair?

Why don't you just ask her?

You know, I wanted to see
how long it would take her

to reach out, if I stopped calling...

just as an experiment.

And how long has it been?

Goin' on three months now.

Damn. Sorry, girl.

Your mom's starting
to act a lot like mine.

I know, it's just so frustrating

'cause I need this job.

Now Claudia's starting to look at me

like I'm some screw-up like my dad.

What? She said you were a screw-up?

She didn't have to.

She knows about my dad's drug trouble.

Niecy, from where I'm sittin',

you're not a screw-up.

You've gotta get that
shit out your head.

That's where it is... in your head.

- I know.
- You sure?

'Cause it seems like the only person

that thinks you're a screw-up is you.

Wait. Whoa, whoa, wait, wait a minute.

What happened? What?

Well, when are you gonna know more?

[sighing] I can't, honey.

I'm at work right now.

You can use my office,
if you need some privacy.

KARA: [sighs]

Okay.

Hey. So, I just left Garrett's office.

What do you wanna hear first?

Let's start with the good news.

Garrett and I are smoothing
things over with HR.

Thank God.

Okay... the bad?

Garrett's most concerned
about a potential PR problem.

We just got out of hot water
with the whole Ronda debacle,

and an hour after shooting a spot

promoting the "GDU" family,

you and a new colleague are going at it.

But what happened was
within the "GDU" walls,

so there's no pictures or video, so...

People talk.

That, they do. Ah...

Okay, well, let's...

let's just put our heads together

and strategize a solution.

I already offered
Garrett one and he's down.

Do I even wanna know?

Your upcoming house warming party...

Garrett wants me to get a photographer

from "Entertainment Weekly" to be there

to promote the "GDU" family thing.

That means everyone would
be there, including Dani.

Garrett will be in Silicon Valley

meeting with Zuckerberg for Tech Week,

but everyone else, yes.

So, it'll be a party full
of people that I don't like.

And it's not like
they would come anyway,

after what happened.

That brings me to the
second part of the deal.

Oh, God, there's more.

You're gonna have to
apologize, in public,

to the entire crew.

You need to convince everybody
you're genuinely sorry.

[laughs]

Who DeRay gets with is his business.

Nah, nah, he's in the
front lines, a'ight?

He's making it my business.
How we gon' mobilize,

like it's okay we got
some homo runnin' the show?

You really believe that?

With the challenges
facing Black people today,

the stakes are too high, a'ight?

If we wanna mobilize the masses,

we can't afford to have someone
like that lead the cause.

Do you know who's the brainchild

behind the March on Washington?

- Martin Luther King.
- Wrong, it was Bayard Rustin.

Rustin was one of Dr.
King's closest advisors.

He was also openly gay.

If he was so open, how
come I never heard of him?

Dr. King needed to keep
that shit under wraps.

But if Dr. King thought
like you and your boys,

there wouldn't have even been a march.

See, it'll be a great day
when we can convince everyone

to support the cause,

even if they don't agree
with the leader's sexuality.

But that day ain't here yet, so

you may not like it,
but that's how it is.

Listen, we have an old saying in NA.

- NA?
- Narcotics Anonymous.

Take what you like, and leave the rest.

What's that mean?

There are tons of people involved with

the Black Lives Matter movement,

so many others you can identify with.

If you don't like
DeRay, find someone else.

You said it yourself... there's
important work to be done.

So, you're gonna let DeRay
stop you from doing it?

MARY JANE: A White woman,
like Dani, gets to say

whatever the hell she
wants and get away with it,

but the Black woman has to apologize?

You're not just any Black
woman, you're the co-anchor.

You're a leader, so lead by example.

And Dani makes off-color
remarks, but she's harmless.

Girl, you are too young

to have ever encountered real racism.

Once you've lived a little,

you'll know what I'm talking about.

Please. Girl, I grew up on
the South Side of Chicago,

and moved to Boston,

which is like traveling
back in time to 1842.

I know racism.

But I have a trick to
help me bite my tongue.

I don't need any tricks.

Really? 'Cause you could
have gotten yourself fired

for that clap-back at Dani.

If you don't figure out a
way to be civil to this woman,

it's your image that suffers, not hers.

Point taken. [sighs]

What are your tricks?

You know how when someone
is dealing with stage fright,

they imagine everybody naked?

That's how I deal with racism.

You imagine racists in their panties.

No. I treat racism as
a disease of the mind.

When you feel a rant coming on,

imagine they're a bag lady on 5th Avenue

spewin' all the crazy.

Ignore it and move on.

I might be able to learn
something from you yet.

Well, I'm happy to hear that.

Now take what you just learned
and apply it to the apology

you're gonna give to everybody
before tomorrow's show.

Oh... [exhaling] Geez.

- [cell phone bings]
- Oh, God, what now?

Oh, it's not work related.

I'm going to see Chance
the Rapper tonight.

Wow, I didn't even
know he was performing.

Yeah, a secret show in Brooklyn.

He dropped a hint about it on Whatagwan.

You're takin' your man.

Nah, just some friends.

Oh, okay.

Well, you know, I've...

I have never seen him live.

That would be amazing.

Girl, you have no idea.

[typing on cellphone]

Well, you know, go,
go. Have a good time.

Thanks. You know what?

If you need help with the apology,

just give me a call, okay?

TY: You still haven't
returned his damn thing?

MARY JANE: It took me hours

to put back everything
the way I found it.

I had to match everything, exactly.

I was not taking no chances. Look.

You took photos of the content.

Look, this ain't my first rodeo.

Obviously.

Wait, but why did it take you so long,

if you only looked
through a third of it?

Okay, maybe it was half.

But you have to see
this one thing, please?

Please? Please? Okay.

Justin, he was doing
this health story, right?

And he got the insurance
company to pay for

a little girl's heart operation,

and this little angel, she
made him a homemade card...

to thank him.

Are you not dying?

Are you not dying?

Okay, fine, I'll put it
back, I'll put it back.

Oh!

All right, no stress.

Uh, can you help me
gather all this stuff up

and we'll just organize it later.

We?

Yes, the party planner's
on her way over right now

and I can't have all of this. Please?

Thank you.

Oof, okay.

?

Is this a pair of stockings?

You know what? Just... just put it away.

Just put it away.

No, let... let me see. Let me see.

?

Never speak of this again.

Are you kidding me?

This is perfect party banter.

I'm sure everyone will have an opinion.

"I think Justin's a crossdresser."

"Well, I heard he was a cat burglar."

"I bet he uses the
stockings as a dew rag."

You just leave Justin's
special stockings alone.

Relax. I'm not even gonna be here.

What do you mean?

I get enough of you people
during business hours.

I am newly single.

My nights are my own.

No, no, no. I won't
have anyone to talk to.

I mean, Aaliyah's amazing,

but she's on the company payroll.

Uh, so am I.

You know what I mean, Ty.

Do you have any idea how hard it is

for a 40-year-old woman
to make new friends?

It's sad and creepy.

Fine. Count me in.

But between this mess, and the party,

you owe us favors for
the rest of the year.

I'll take it.

Can you hand me that, uh, crucifix?

Hey, everyone.

Sorry. I'm sorry to interrupt.

Uh, I just wanted to apologize

for my unprofessional
behavior yesterday.

When faced with the opposing
view of a fellow colleague,

I... handled the situation very poorly,

and reacted out of anger.

You know, one of my goals,
while sitting at the anchor desk

is to make sure that "GDU" feels
like a true family operation,

where everyone has a
voice to speak their truth,

and that everyone's point
of view is respected,

even when others disagree with it.

That being said, the invitation
to my home is still open,

and I truly hope to see
you all there tonight.

Thank you for the apology, Mary Jane.

It was well said,

and I have faith that the photographers

are going to capture just
how truly close we all are.

All right? Let's have
a good show, everyone.

?

Two of my favorite things...

when someone can admit
they're wrong and a good party.

[laughs] See ya.

Great.

As soon as I wrap up with work,

I'm on my way. Okay. Bye.

Hey...

I know we're in a weird place right now,

um, but since my party's a work party,

I was sort of hoping that we
could put our differences aside

and you could come.

Uh, no, I'm sorry, I cannot come,

and even if I could, I would not
go to your stupid party, okay?

Kara, hasn't this gone on long enough?

Come on. No, Mary Jane.

You've got to stop expecting

this thing to blow over
between us, all right?

I meant every single word I said to you.

I am done!

- [doorbell rings]
- Hey, Jovan.

- Hey, what's up?
- Hey.

Come on in. Come on in.

You told me to meet you
if I was interested in

going to the city council meeting?

- Right. Right.
- You still on?

- I am, yeah.
- Is it okay if I tag along?

Yeah, yeah, of course.

All right, let me grab my keys.

All right, man.

- NIECY: [clears throat]
- Oh. [laughs]

Hey, uh, I'm Jovan.

- You're Patrick's daughter.
- Yeah, Niecy.

Yeah, me and your dad

are about to go to a meeting together.

What kind of drugs are you on?

- What?
- You said a meeting.

[laughs] Nah, nah, not
that type of meeting.

No, Patrick, you know,
he's been giving speeches

and talking at city council
meetings and rallies,

and answering questions about

what Black Lives Matter
is doing, you know?

He's really out to
mobilize the community.

Well, he ain't told me
nothing about all that.

He's been helping a lot of people.

Niecy, I'm about to step out for a bit.

Uh, did you and Jovan meet?

Yeah, we just met.

Okay, I'll be home a little later.

- Mm-hm.
- PATRICK: Bye.

- Nice meeting you.
- You, too.

- DIRECTOR: We're going with two.
- _

_

That's fine. Hold it there.

- Hey, Emma.
- Huh?

A quick question.

Do you know what's going on with Kara?

Oh. No idea.

Something happening with her kids?

You know, honestly,
if it's not about work,

it's not on my radar.

But given her lack of focus,

I'm thinking maybe I should have Garrett

sign off on the research
for this segment.

Did she not approve it?

She did, but I heard how she
screwed up that Ronda story.

Yeah, that wasn't her fault, Emma.

I just started here. I'm
trying to keep this job.

Your research.

Okay, well, if Kara turned this in,

then it has been fully
vetted and it's good to go,

and if anyone has any questions,
they can ask me, personally.

Oof!

[buttons beeping]

COMPUTER VOICE: Operation failed.

Oh, no, no, no, no.

Damn it, what is it?
What is it? What is it?

- Uh...
- [buttons beeping]

COMPUTER VOICE: Operation failed.

No! Shit! Shit! Shit! Shit! Shit!

Tell me this brother didn't
change the code on me.

Um... uh... Okay, okay.

Uh...

Zero, four, one, nine, seven, six.

COMPUTER VOICE: Unlocked.

Oh, thank you. Okay. [grunts]

Hey, Dad. You got a minute?

I've got a question for you.

Sure. What's goin' on?

Um, when I met Jovan, he
told me that you've been

speaking at City Council
meetings and rallies.

Is that true?

Yeah, it is.

After I wrote that statement
for you a while back,

community leaders reached
out and asked me to speak.

How come you never invited me?

Well, after the tasing,

you wanted to put everything behind you.

You made it clear

you weren't interested
in hearing that statement.

But I did. I listened.

Yeah, only after we forced you to.

Look...

to be honest, Niecy,

I didn't think you wanted to
relive it all again, that's all.

I did feel like that,
but this is different.

There's nothing wrong with
letting me know about it.

- Okay.
- Okay?

- Okay, I will.
- NIECY: [laughs]

Hey, hey, let's get this party started.

Oh, I'm so glad you could come.

And Justin's box?

- Back safely where it belongs.
- Good girl.

Oh, look who else is here.

I told you she's on a
strictly business kick with me.

Please. I'm sure by
the end of the night,

you two will be braiding
each other's hair,

and sharing your favorite dig pits.

[laughs] Stop it.

And, if not, Kara can't keep giving you

the cold shoulder forever, boo.

Oh, let's hope not.

Now, what can I help with?

Uh, you know what, you can
man the door while I change.

- Gotcha.
- Thank you.

_

_

_

? Never been so inside ?

?

? When I give into you ?

Here we go.

Yes. You like?

Don't worry, you are
going to rule this party.

You are absolutely right.

Yes. [inhaling]

[exhaling]

I'll be... damned!

Come, come, come on.

Are you kidding me?

This ditzy bitch let her
friend come into my home

with the equivalent of a
racist billboard on her head.

Mary Jane, remember.

She's a crazy bag lady on 5th Avenue.

She's just a crazy
bag lady on 5th Avenue.

She's a crazy bag lady on 5th Avenue.

Oh, the photographer's here.

Are you okay, if I leave you alone?

Yeah, yeah, no, it's...

it's time to take the
training wheels off.

I promise.

- Hey, Mary Jane.
- Hi, Dani.

Your loft is gorgeous.

You must earn a fortune
to be able to afford this.

Well, I do all right, you
know, for a diversity hire.

- You really do.
- [fake laugh]

Okay, I've gotta ask a question.

Mm-hm?

So, I was looking over
there at that bookshelf,

and I saw this award
you got in high school.

Your last name is Patterson?

Yeah, my stage name is "Mary Jane Paul."

Right. Well, my given name
is Daniella Hollingsworth,

but I like to keep it
short and simple, you know,

like my idol Glenn Beck.

Well, that makes perfect sense.

So, what's your first name?

Is it one of those exotic names
that's kinda hard to pronounce?

No, it's Pauletta, after my father.

Oh, my God, best story ever.

[laughing]

[flashbulb pops]

Wait. Wait. Wait. Wait.

[mixed conversations]

Why'd you give Dani the finger?

Because everything that
comes out of her mouth

is racist and incendiary.

What happened to your mantra?

I tried to picture her as a
crazy bag lady on 5th Avenue,

but something about
those $1000 Louis Vuittons

didn't quite go with the vision.

Okay...

I know that you took a picture of me

flipping the bird to my co-worker.

Gonna need you to delete that.

- Not a chance.
- MARY JANE: Excuse me?

That picture could be
a career-changer for me.

I'm gonna tell you how
this is gonna work...

real plain, real simple.

If you don't delete the
photo, I'm gonna whoop...

What Mary Jane means is...

you're here to capture the
comradery of the "GDU" crew.

We don't feel the image
really represents that.

- No.
- What you've got to do...

Mary Jane.

Go entertain your guests. I got this.

Hi.

What's it gonna take?

Look, I'm freelance. This
picture's my golden ticket.

My firm runs hundreds of
accounts in New York City alone.

I personally book those events,

and I control all the celebrity access.

You want your golden ticket,
you gotta go through me.

We talkin' A-list?

Benny Medina is
throwing a surprise party

for JLo next week.

Tons of A-list celebs.

Thank you.

Who the hell are those guys?

Mary Jane, they're my friends.

I invited 'em. I didn't
think that you would mind.

[laughs]

This is turning into a Deplorable.

Okay, what this party
needs right now is music.

I am feelin' that idea.

Okay, what about that one?

Nope. That ain't the one.

This song is one from every
brother's ride right now.

Exactly. White folks
haven't discovered that yet.

Girl, gimme your phone.

- Oh, yep, here we go.
- Really?

DANI: Oh, my God,
y'all, I love this song!

[Lil Jon & The East Side
Boyz "Get Low" playing]

Girl, bring those moves right
in so everybody can see 'em.

All right.

?

DANI: Ooh.

[laughing]

[unintelligible lyrics]

?

My turn.

?

So, do you think that we
have satisfied the media,

convinced them that
we are The Brady Bunch?

Ronda would have never subjected herself

to this kind of stunt.

Well, I see that you
are playing the role of

the angry drunk in the family, Aaron.

Come on, Aaron, it's time for shots.

There you go.

- Cheers!
- Salut!

Get in the shot.

?

Well, I knew we had to
extinguish some fires,

but I think it's shaping up all right.

You think so?

Yeah. Definitely time for you

to get off the clock, you hear me?

I insist.

[laughs] If you insist.

I do.

Oh, major throwback.

This was the theme to
my 25th birthday party.

Wow. I don't think I even
had my driver's license yet.

Ouch.

Oh, Ty? Ty?

Ty? Ty!

What are you doing?

Makin' America great again...

when closeted was a
completely different time.

I can't...

- ? Lookin' for the right time to flash my keys ?
- _

? Then um I'm leavin', please beleivin' ?

? Me and the rest of my heathens ?

- ? Check it, got it locked ?
- _

? At the top of the four seasons ?

Where's Mary Jane?

I have no idea.

Everybody, come on, gather around.

? I need you to get up on the dance floor ?

- Yeah!
- [flashbulb pops]

? 'Cuz I feel like bustin' loose ?

? And I feel like touchin' you ?

? Unh, unh ?

? And can't nobody stop the juice ?

Kara?

Mary Jane...

[sobbing]

It's my dad.

It's okay.

[sobbing] This is the end for him.

[sobbing]

I'm so sorry.

[sobbing]

You're still here?

Oh...

Somebody had to lock up.

MARY JANE: [quiet laugh]

[sighs]

Wow, by the looks of this place,

I'd say Operation Make
"GDU" the Perfect Family

appears to be a success.

Yeah, I'm sorry I ducked out.

Kara's dad is dying and...

I just went to be with her.

So, I apologize for leaving you here.

No, no, that's sweet.

So, everything turned out okay here?

I managed to deal with Dani

and my sanity is still intact.

When did you become this wise sage?

No, seriously, are
you, like, a Buddhist?

No, no, I'm not Buddhist.

My mom was bipolar, actually.

She taught me how to have
empathy for people who suffer.

So, you can see somebody like Dani

and have compassion.

Exactly.

And the truth is, it's
more for me than them,

'cause it makes my life so much easier.

Mad props to you, girl, cause...

[laughing]

you are wise beyond your years.

Oh, stop.

No, I'm serious.

With people like you leading the way,

future generations might
actually have some hope.

- Praise, queen.
- You know.

[palm slap]

Well, I should get going.

You know, hey, Aaliyah, I...

I hope this doesn't sound
weird or anything, but...

would you wanna hang out some time?

I mean, nothing work
related or anything,

like, not like this, but...

just, like, pure,
unadulterated socializing?

- I swear I'm not a creeper.
- [laughs]

You're being serious right now?

Yeah.

Uh, yes, I would totally
love to hang out with you.

Cool. [laughs]

Oh, no, what are you doing?

Care to join me?

AALIYAH: [laughs]

MARY JANE: Would you
like to do the honors?

Oh, sure.

Oh, wait, but first...

Nyaaa!

- Later, sucka.
- [laughs]

[palm slap]

Ahhh...

If I was gonna tell you
how we need to build trust

between our neighborhoods
and the police,

it needed to start right here with me.

When I overcame my drug addiction,

I learned to listen and to trust myself.

It wasn't until then that I could

listen to others.

Listening and understanding,
one person at a time,

that's how we build
trust between ourselves

and our community,

between our youth and the police,

by really listening to each other.

Yeah, I'll do your color through here.

I think that you'll like it.

Oh, Niecy.

Um, I thought I was clear before.

There's nothing more
I can do to help you.

No, you were clear.

But I have a proposition for
you now, if you will listen.

Girl, five minutes.

It's been hard for me to face up to

the mess that I made of my life.

But I have two kids depending on me now.

Earlier, you said if
something is truly important,

you do the work and
you don't make excuses.

Well, I'm ready to do the work,

and I'm done making excuses.

So, if you will please
give me a second chance,

and give me my booth back.

I don't have any more room, Niecy.

I'm sorry.

All right, well...

I appreciate the opportunity

and thank you for your time, Claudia.

Thank you.

Wait, Niecy.

Okay, how about you be my
new shampoo and sweep girl?

You can build up hours in the salon,

and we'll revisit
getting your booth back.

All right. It's a deal. It's a deal.

Great.

You can start today.

Okay.

Thank you.

? You've got magic over me, babe ?

Ah, �c�mo est�s, Lupe?

Muy bien, Miss Mary Jane.

- I made coffee for you.
- Oh.

Before I go, I found
this under your couch.

It looked important.

Ah, gracias.

?

Mm, nope, nope.

I'm not gonna do it.

I'm gonna leave it
there with the others.

I will return it when I can.

I'm not gonna look at you.

I'm not gonna look at you.

I'm not gonna do it.

?

Damn it.

?

Justin's worth $30 million?!
