[narrator] Previously
on Greenleaf...

-Just stop right there.
-We have a search

and seizure warrant, ma'am.
Please step aside.

Jacob transferred $200,000

of church funds
into what turned out to be

-a personal account.
-It's Connie.

She's talking
with Phillip DeMars again

about us joining
Harmony and Hope.

I'll see that doesn't happen.

[Phil] Connie's told me
she's talked to you in the past

about stepping up.

These folks want change, Grace.

You want me to take over
the church.

This is an opportunity.

Harmony and Hope
is a gigantic deal.

Bob Whitmore, he is one of
the richest men in America.

What we're gonna need from you
this year, Grace, is your voice.

A voice that can unify
this congregation.

Are you ready to be that voice?

Even beating me down
with your holy superiority,

-you were just another sinner.
-I know that, James.

Aaron and I took a blood test.
Lionel's my father.

You are my daughter
and you always will be.

[Grace] This family, this faith.

We ask that you let it give
us strength and sustenance,

so that we can take back
what is ours.

¶ Hey ¶

¶ I don't know about
nobody else In here today ¶

¶ But it's been good to me ¶

-¶ Good to me, good to me ¶
-¶ So good ¶

¶ Good to me
Hey, see it's good to me ¶

-¶ Hey-ho ¶
-¶ So good ¶

¶ Ain't nobody like you
Ain't nobody like you ¶

¶ Yeah ¶

¶ Hallelujah,
Thank you, Jesus ¶

[cheering]

¶ He want it
Give him some praise ¶

¶ Give him some praise ¶

[cheering continues]

Woo! Aha!

Good morning, Calvary!

-[audience] Good morning!
-[Bob chuckles]

Wasn't that a wonderful
performance we just saw, huh?

[cheering]

So much energy. Wow!

And what a blessing it is
to be looking down

on all of these beautiful faces
this morning.

-[man] All right, all right.
-[Bob] And hats. [chuckles]

So many hats!

I don't think I've ever seen
so many beautiful hats

-in one room.
-[audience murmuring]

Anyway, I'm Bob Whitmore,
president of Harmony and Hope.

And I just want to say
welcome to the family!

[cheering and applause]

When Connie Sykes, your amazing
Deacon Board President,

first called me
and Phil DeMars...

That's Phil right there.

He's our Southeastern
Conference Minister.

He's going to be officing here
for a while.

-Yes.
-[applause]

Well, I gotta tell you,
we were over the moon.

We've been hearing about Calvary
for years.

All the great things
you're doing,

and it was more than one time
I said to Phil,

"Phil, we gotta get in on that,
buddy."

You remember that, Phil?
[chuckles]

And I bet
that's just what he said too.

Shh.

"We gotta get in on that money."

-[Bob] But then...
-James, please,

-keep your voice down, please.
-[Bob] ...you elected to join us

and here we are.

And we are so excited.

But I'm not the one

that you came to hear
jabber this morning.

You came to hear the Word!

-[applause]
-Amen, and so did I!

So, let's get God's servant
up here to preach it.

-[indistinct chatter in crowd]
-You all know her and love her.

Your new interim Head Pastor...

Reverend Grace Greenleaf.
Give it up.

[cheering and applause]

Keep it short.

Harmony and Hope!

[Grace sighs]

¶ Amen ¶

¶ Oh ¶

¶ Oh ¶

¶ Oh ¶

¶ Oh ¶

¶ Amen ¶

¶ Oh ¶

We haven't seen you in church
for a while, child,

where have you been?

Getting ready to leave
for school.

But September's so far away.

It's called pre-college.

Ah, you're in a rush
to grow up?

[chuckling]

You sounded
just like Bishop today.

Well, he is my father after all.

-And a proud one, indeed.
-[Grace] Thank you, Daddy.

Would you be a dear and help me
find the coffee and cookies?

They moved it.
Everything's different.

Oh, of course, Ms. Wharton.
I'll help you.

Decrepit old thing.

She can't even face us,
'cause she voted against us.

James, please,
don't make a scene.

-How are you two holding up?
-[Lady Mae sighs]

I feel like a ghost
moving unseen in a house

that I lovingly built.

-Mama.
-Mm?

You look like you have notes.

Well...

your sermon was rather concise.

-Bob told me to keep it short.
-[Lady Mae scoffs]

And you felt required to obey?

With any luck, they'll be out
of here in a year.

I'm gonna give that Connie Sykes
an earful.

Daddy, we-- We're gonna stick
to the plan, remember?

We're gonna play nice
with Harmony and Hope,

and we're gonna win back

the hearts and minds
of this congregation.

And then, when Bob makes me
permanent Head Pastor

of this interim year,
we'll take a vote

to leave H&H and I'll hand
the church over to Mama.

Only if there's a church worthy
of the name to hand over.

How many folks do you think
would keep coming back

week after week for a seance?

Look, there's Connie Sykes now.

-N-- No!
-[James] Excuse me.

-James. No, James. Listen to me.
-What?

Grace is right.

What?

Nothing, I'm just gonna sit here
and watch the two of you,

suddenly thick as thieves.

You go stomp over there

the first Sunday
of the new regime,

demanding your church back,
well, it will be churlish.

Fine, I will submit to your
feminine wisdom this time.

For now. But not happily.

Okay, I'm gonna go meet
with Phil.

-All right.
-Well, listen, uh,

don't forget about Charity
and Jacob.

I won't, Dad. I won't.

Lord, I hope she's up to this.

She's the only one in the family
that the deacons

will sign off on, but I--
I share your concern.

Stay here. I'll be right back.

Where are you going?

To pay my respects to the dead.

-That woman was on fire!
-Yes, she was!

-Lady Mae. God is good.
-All the time. [chuckles]

Bob was just saying, Mae,

what a wonderful sermon
Grace delivered.

Was that a sermon?

Well, it seemed more like
a Minister's Minute.

-Oh!
-Like the ones I heard

-on the radio as a child.
-[chuckles]

I knew you'd think it was short.

Well, I wouldn't say short, Bob.
Uh...

insufficient.

Well, the offering certainly
was sufficient.

Do you know
it would never occur to me

to use money as a metric

when measuring things
of the spirit. [chuckles]

Oh, it's not just about money.

Grace got the folks out the door
on time.

-Yes, you are right.
-Oh, so that's the new goal

around here, huh?

To make sure the trains
are running on time.

Well, did anybody ask Jesus
about that? [chuckles]

I would like to try fitting
in a third service.

I think the Finance Committee
would like that too.

-[Bob] Hmm.
-Struggle is real.

[Bob] Plus, on any given Sunday,
we have thousands of members

all over the world traveling
for business or pleasure,

who like to know,
they've told us this,

they like to know
no matter which H&H church

they walk into,
what they're gonna get.

-Like McDonald's.
-[Bob] Like the Lord himself,

who is the same yesterday,
today and tomorrow.

[Lady Mae] You know, Bob,
I really don't wanna

belabor this point.
Especially, since it's Sunday.

You know, when I try
to restrain myself

from any full-on warfare,

but there are two things
that human beings do together

that's best done slowly.

Mm.

Preaching is one of them.

[Connie] Mae!

I'm all for long sermons.

Make quite a few of them myself,
but I also run a business.

Now, if you two lovely
young ladies will excuse me,

I think I'd better call home.

I don't know
what you think you're doing

chatting him up like that,
but make no mistake,

neither I or any
of the other Deacons

care a whit that the Bishop
gave you the church.

It wasn't his to give.

And no one wants to see
you running it.

Not now, not next year,
not ever.

Oh, Connie.

What do you want to
talk about now?

Nothing.

So, we're good to go.

Almost.

I saw in your proposal, Grace,
one thing,

two, really, that I think...

Bob might have trouble with.

Okay.

Your brother and sister,

I mean, installing them
as Associate Pastors,

Bob's not gonna go for that.

Your brother barely avoided
being charged with fraud

over at Triumph.

He was framed by Basie Skanks.

And as far as your sister,
Charity...

Forty thousand followers
on Soundcloud,

-that's--
-[Phil] Grace.

She almost got herself arrested
for kidnapping in Florida.

Look, it is important to me
to give my brother and sister

a place in the structure
of this church.

Important to you
or your parents?

Because it's not important
to us,

and no one in the pews
is clamoring.

Okay, so maybe they don't have
to be associates.

Maybe we call them assistants
or adjuncts?

-I don't care.
-Grace.

It's never going to happen.

Oh, so sorry I couldn't
be there, Judee,

but you know how important
it is to get a buy-in from--

Oh, Mr. Greenleaf, hey!

Yeah. [chuckles]
Uh, sorry I-- I-- I--

Circulation problem.
My-- My feet.

-You got a second?
-For you, Bishop, of course.

Okay, Judee, you--
You tell that little man

his Grandpa loves him.
Okay? Bye.

Sorry, I've invaded.
My battery died,

-I needed somewhere to plug in.
-Oh, don't apologize.

What did you want to talk about?

Mike Evans was a friend of mine.

Mike Evans, uh...

-Sorry I-- I don't--
-He was the Pastor

for the Jericho Faith Fellowship
in Galveston.

Oh, yeah,
that's one of our churches.

But it wasn't always.

You and Phil tried for years

to get him to hand
that church over.

But he wasn't interested.

So, you, you hired a PI to look
into his private life.

Learned he acquired an addiction
to pain medication

that he was taking for his back
after an injury he sustained

while building houses
for the poor after Katrina.

And then you shared
that information with his board,

and they had him removed.

Within six months

that church became H&H,
and Mike Evans is dead.

-Doesn't sound like H&H.
-Oh, it sounds just like H&H.

What it doesn't sound like
is God.

Well, I'm glad we were there
to pick up the pieces

after things went south
for your friend.

It's not good
when congregations suffer

for the sins of their leaders.

Or is it?

Maybe you have
a different take on this.

-If you do, I'd love to-- What?
-Bob.

I don't know
what you're doing here...

or why Calvary is suddenly
so important to you

or how you weaseled your way in,
but I'm gonna find out

and when I do,

you're gonna watch
your whole magic carpet

of a denomination dissolve
underneath you like smoke.

And you're gonna fall, boy.

You're gonna fall hard and fast.

You know what, James...

Your days are numbered.

I'm gonna pray
the Lord releases you

from the spirit of resentment.

It can't be good for your heart.

Oh, and, uh, your ex-wife
found me after church.

What a spitfire she is!

How did you let her get away?
[chuckles]

Thanks for the charge.

[scoffs]

[phone ringing]

Aaron, hey what's going on?

Not much,
just here at the office

getting some work done
on a Sunday.

You know, Calvary's technically
open and inclusive

now that we joined H&H.

You and Kevin should come visit.

[scoffs] Boy,
they really must've paid off

Connie Sykes big time, huh?

[chuckles] That's just a rumor,
but, yeah.

So, what's up, Counselor?

-How'd church go?
-[Grace] Phil said no

-to Jacob and Charity.
-Oh, I'm sorry.

Yeah.

[Aaron]
You knew he might not say yes.

Yeah, I know--
I just wanted to be able

to give them something,
you know.

Grace, trying to pay them off
with jobs

isn't that different
from your mother

keeping this all a secret.

What? It's completely different.

No, it's just another way
to smooth things over.

You know, make it seem
like nothing's changed,

when really change might be
what has to happen.

[scoffs]

Grace? Grace?

-You still there?
-Yeah.

I'm just dealing with the fact

that my little brother
just schooled me.

[chuckles]

Mom, I'm trying
to go over my monologue

-and Winkie won't stop farting.
-Sorry, I can't help it.

-[Jacob laughs]
-It's your mother.

How's my mother making
your son fart?

-Oh, so now he's my son now?
-[chuckles] I'm just saying.

-How does she do that?
-Well...

she lets Maricel put butter
in everything

when I told her
that Winkie can't handle dairy.

Let me move into that cabin.

The one Noah used to live in,
please?

I'll talk to Maricel
about the butter.

It's not about that.

I am a grown-ass woman,
and I'm about to start going

-to college.
-Excuse me?

A grown woman talks like one.

I need my own space.
I need my own place!

If anybody's moving
into that cabin,

-it's gonna be me.
-Dad--

So take a number!

Hey, after that foolishness
you pulled with Isaiah,

no way we're letting you
out of our sight.

Yes.

And we switched you over to SCC
this year,

so that we could keep you close.

Nobody can be
this close to that.

[phone ringing]

Can I just ask Grandma myself?

-Please?
-Yeah, sure, ask her.

-She's gonna say no too.
-Okay, well, come on, stinkbutt.

-Who called?
-Don't worry, it wasn't Tasha.

-Who was it then?
-Doris Saunders.

And who's Doris Saunders?

-Tasha Skanks?
-[Jacob sighs]

[Jacob]
When you gonna let that go?

It's been a week, Jacob.
A week.

Doris Saunders is a member
at Triumph, okay?

What would she want
with you now?

I mean, I don't know, who knows?

H-- How come
I've never met her?

Well, how often were you
at Triumph?

You're always so busy
at Excellence.

No.
[scoffs]

For all we know,
Basie, Tasha and Rochelle

are still out there somewhere
trying to set us up.

Don't call back.

Yes, ma'am.

I want her moved in
before I get back

from Fairview tomorrow.

Yeah, I'll make sure it happens.

Every day,
this office sits vacant

is another day her father
and all his acolytes

can keep nursing hopes
this is all some bad dream.

Can you believe she's trying
to hire her brother

and sister as AP's?

Yeah, that didn't surprise me.

Yeah, the sister's
not even a pastor.

Phil, I can't fault her
for that.

Well, you're not thinking about
letting her do it.

-Let her hire them, are you?
-No, no, never.

But I don't blame her.

If I was in her position,

I would've tried to do
the same thing,

even if it was just to say
I tried.

Hey, why are you, uh,
going to Fairview?

Mm, just to look in on Cal.

Yeah, he's barely hanging on.

I haven't seen
a denominational dues check

from that church
in three years.

Yeah.

While I'm out that way,
I'm also gonna stop by Bethel,

Sinai, Olive Branch,
do the whole circuit.

Hey, you want me come with you?
We can do the whole little...

-good cop, bad cop.
-No, no, no, no.

-You sure you don't want any?
-No, no. I'm good, thanks.

-So, you got us dookie? Oh!
-Charity, I tried.

Oh, I'm sorry,
you tried and got us dookie.

Can-- What...
[sighs]

Can you please stop using
that foul word?

Your nephew is sitting
right here.

[Charity] I'm glad he's here,
he needs to hear it.

Don't expect anything
from your sister,

and you won't be disappointed.

Did you tell this Phil
that you wouldn't stay on

as interim
without your brother

and sister's support?

Kerissa,
we have next to no leverage.

Do either of you two
understand that?

if I quit, they will put
Phil DeMars in the pulpit,

and then we'll have dookie.

I'm not so sure
what we have now.

You have someone who's trying
to get this church back.

-Trying.
-Yeah, trying. What?

Oh, Grace, I can still remember
the first night you came home.

You were saying
all that nonsense

about how God is the part of us
who tries.

Well, right now,
trying doesn't cut it, G.

You better preach.

Charity, there's no need
for that.

Ever since you came home,

this family has been
on a swift slide down,

and I have slid the farthest
of all.

[Lady Mae]
And what have you suffered

that even vaguely compares

to what Bishop
and I have suffered,

are suffering, Kerissa?

Mm-hmm, see,
I'm not getting any argument

on the net effect...
of your homecoming.

-Okay, you made your point.
-Well, if she hadn't come back

these two would be married
and retired.

You would be
Head Pastor of Calvary.

None of this
would've even have happened.

I'm not sure
that's entirely true.

Oh, I would have made it happen.

-[James] Really?
-Oh, yes.

Fascinating.

Yes, so instead of sitting here,
saying that you tried, Gigi,

like that's some kind of divine
yellow ribbon,

you need to go back to this Phil
and make something happen

for your brother and sister!

For anybody
besides your own damn self!

Excuse me, Mama.

You can, uh, side-eye me
all you want, Mae,

but I have earned my place
in this conversation,

ten times over, and my opinion
is as good as anybody's.

Not when it is delivered
with a stridency

of screeching pride.

You want to talk
about foul language,

do you ever think
about what both your children

might learn from your attitude?

You must know you in the wrong,
Kerissa!

What I know, come on, baby...

is that I can't live here.

[James] You need
to handle your business,

and keep her out of the wine.

It's been hard moving back.

[Lady Mae]
And what is the hard part?

The staff, the 50 acres
or the rent?

Which as far as I know is free.

So, wait,
is Gigi going to talk to Phil...

or-- or who is it?
What-- What is happening?

-I'll see she talks to Bob.
-Good.

'Cause I'm not going back
to singing.

You know, Satan can take a gift
that God has given you,

and use it to hold you
in bondage.

Oh!

You know, that's what I'm gonna
preach about when I'm AP.

Satan's ways!
I'm gonna do a whole series.

Okay, you know what,
what makes you think

-you gonna be AP?
-[Charity] 'Cause I am.

[Jacob] I'm gonna be AP
before you.

-[Charity] Oh, please.
-[Jacob] Why you always trying

-to do a series on something?
-[Charity] Jacob! Whatever.

[Jacob] Whatever what?

The sins and stupidity
this poor table has seen,

I'm surprised it doesn't
just crash to the floor.

[sighs]

Mm, mm, mm.

-You didn't do anything wrong.
-Tell Charity.

And I know why Phil said no
and why Bob probably will too.

Charity shouldn't preach anyway.

She probably
shouldn't even drive.

And does Jacob
even wanna be AP?

Oh, Kerissa wants it,
that's enough.

[scoffs] Kerissa is worse
than charity.

You're right.

But this is not about them.

This is about what you can do
to keep this family together.

Can we please just tell them
that I'm Lionel's daughter?

I'm so tired of having this...
secret hanging over my head.

It's my head
that it's hanging over.

I'm not talking
about my reputation, Mama.

I am talking about who I am,
my identity, my life.

We will tell them...

once we have won
this church back,

and we're all sitting together
in-- in-- in victory and unity.

I'll ask Bob about it tomorrow.

Don't ask...

tell.

[footsteps approaching]

That was Doris Saunders,
I spoke to earlier.

Why do I even bother talking?

Her son plays
for the Red Devils...

and has been having
some issues lately.

So she's asked me
to be his life coach.

-How much does it pay?
-I don't know.

But she wants me to go with her
tomorrow to meet with the GM.

Good.

[clears throat]

Yes, may I help you?

I was just in my quarters and...

Yes?

[sighs]

When do you see me
moving back up in here and...

us sharing a bed again?

When we're remarried, of course.

[chuckles] When do you think
that should be?

Well, I don't know,
when we're in love.

Isn't that when people do
that kind of thing?

You're not in love with me?

I love you, James, I--
I've never stopped loving you,

but as far as being in love,
I...

Well, what do you want?
Flowers and a ring?

Yes.
Yes, and more than that too.

I'm not some country girl

who's never been
to the pictures.

You're courting a woman now,
James,

who has had, literally,
everything.

[Lady Mae sighs]

So you'll just have to sweep me
off my feet.

How?

[sighs]
In ways...

Ways I can't even imagine.

Good to know.

Good night.

[phone beeps]

[automated voice] Hello.
You have a message from...

[A.J.] A.J. Delahaye.

[automated voice] ...an inmate

at the Yuma Federal
Correctional Center.

To retrieve your message,
please press one.

If you feel you have received
this message in error

please remain on the line...

[automated voice
continues indistinctly]

[birds chirping]

-Good morning!
-Oh, look at my Bible buddy.

Can I move
into Noah's old cabin?

Did your parents
give you permission

-to ask me that?
-Yes.

Hmm.

I tell you what,

if you resume our Bible studies.

-That's at five in the morning.
-Zora.

Someday this church
will be ours again

which means it will be mine.

And then maybe Aunty Grace's.

And then maybe some day
it will be yours.

God will never call me
to preach.

Oh, well, maybe he's calling you
right now.

Okay. Well--

-[sighs]
-How about 5:30?

[laughs] Girl...

The key's in my desk.

-Thank you.
-Oh, don't thank me,

thank God
because this is the beginning

of a great adventure.

Thank you so much.

Hey, Grace, you got a second?

So you moving
into your new office today?

I'll move in when I'm ready.

Bob just wanted to make sure
you did it

before he got back today.

[chuckles]

[chuckles]

[Noah] Grace, it's Noah.

Call me back.
We really need to talk.

It's important.

[Charity] And so, I feel,
with all of that behind me,

losing Kevin to the gays,
and my baby to Jesus,

and shaking off those bonds
of fear with Iyanla,

I am ready to preach.

Grace did bring the idea to us
of you being AP.

-[scoffs] And passionately.
-Oh, whatever.

I'm sure she did not express
everything that I just told you.

-Well, that's definitely true.
-See? I knew it.

Because she hates me.

And I would hate her too,
if Jesus didn't tell me

I couldn't, I would.

Well, that's a separate issue

-from--
-Look, I know,

you don't want too many
Greenleafs,

but I'm the good one.

Well, I'm better
than Grace at least.

I tell you what...

Phil, please don't ask me
to be the music minister.

Oh, I hear you.

With that being said,
if you were to be my, say,

eyes and ears
among the Greenleafs,

in the service of me making sure

that once this year
of transition is over that...

I'd be made Head Pastor
and not Grace...

I'd definitely make you AP,
in exchange for that kindness.

Are you--
Are you asking me to spy?

Well, no, I never said that word
and I never would.

I'm just saying,
you scratch my back

and I'll scratch yours...

Pastor.

[knocking on door]

-Reverend Greenleaf!
-[clears throat]

Mr. Whitmore.

Oh, you're all moved in.

I was told it was a priority.

Uh, Phil said you wanted
to talk.

Yeah, I do. Have a seat.

What's on your mind?

[Perry] Pastor Greenleaf,
Ms. Saunders here

speaks very highly of you
and now that I've had the chance

to sit with you,
I do understand why.

That's great. Thanks.

Hey, I'll take it.
[chuckles]

You should hear him preach.

Yeah, well, that's kind of
what I was about to bring up.

It's no secret
that Dante's a handful.

Even in a game with more
than his share of handfuls,

he stands out
as being a real handful.

That's why
we really want someone

in this position he'll respect.

Someone impeccable.

But you've sown your own share
of wild oats,

if I can trust the papers.

Oh, well, uh, you know,
I've been cleared

-of all wrong-doing at Triumph.
-Yes, I know,

but you're not even employed
by a church at this point.

Is that correct?

That is correct.

But, uh, I'm hoping
to be reinstated

as Associate Pastor
back at Calvary.

I should hear something
by the end of the day.

Uh, you know,
definitely been praying on it.

Perry, he's the one.
God told me.

This man is the one that's
gonna get my Dante through this.

[Perry] Okay, well, uh...

it's not like the owners are,
you know,

connoisseurs of decency,
but, uh, sure would help

if your name was
on some church's letterhead.

You know I'm saying?

Loud and clear.

Let me get this straight.

You're ready to walk away
from this job

if I don't agree
to hire your brother and sister?

-Just walk away?
-Yeah, and it's non-negotiable.

And so what would you do?

-What would I do if what?
-If I say, "No, take a hike."

You won't say no.

Ever since you showed up here,
you've been telling me

how much you need me.

Are you not worried at all

about over-exaggerating
your importance?

Are you gonna hire my brother
and sister or not?

Grace...

I've been following you
for a long time.

Even back in Phoenix.

-Following me how?
-On TV.

Grace Greenleaf Reports.

[scoffs]

I could tell even then...

you have more
of the righteous truth in you

than any TV reporter could hold.

If you can just put
your family drama aside,

this could be the beginning
of a whole new chapter.

For you as the religious leader
God has always meant you to be.

I need for you
to hire my brother and sister

as my associate pastors
or I'm out.

Putting family first
is a mistake.

It's what I have to do.

Grace...

Excuse me, ma'am.

Is it okay if I take this up
to your suite and put it away?

Yeah, that'll be fine, Maricel.
Thank you.

Oh, Lady Mae told me
to tell you...

Yes?

...she's fine with me
doing your laundry,

but she'd like it if you did it
on Tuesdays and Fridays

with the rest of the house.

[scoffs]

I can just do it myself.

She doesn't want anyone
but the staff

using the machines.
They're very finicky.

-If you could just do it on--
-Tuesdays and Fridays.

Got it.

Thank you, ma'am.

Hey, good news.

Oh, please tell me you got
that job.

I've got to get
out of this house.

Well, hey, if Gigi gets me AP,
we're set.

-[sighs]
-What?

You just told me getting out
from under your mother

depends on Gigi.

That's not good news.

[sighs]

[Sophia] So, who is this guy?

Dante Saunders.

The kid who ran
over the Confederate statue

-with his car?
-Uh-huh.

Yep, my dad's gonna be
his spiritual adviser,

life coach, whatever.

I'm gonna be his love coach.

Did it ever occur to you
to pick out someone

who isn't total trouble?

What do you mean? He's a hero.

I heard
his blood alcohol content

when he did it
was off the charts.

Who told you that?

Roberto.

He came by last night
to say goodbye.

Why do you have to leave?
Just stay,

be boring with Roberto,
you can live with me.

Look, I wish I could stay,
but I can't.

-[sighs]
-Okay.

I'm gonna miss you.

You are. You are gonna miss me.
Come here.

And I told him if I didn't get
what I wanted, I'm out.

Full stop.

And?

He said Jacob could be AP.

Yes! See?

[Grace] See what?

Oh, nothing. Uh, just thank you.

What about me?

He wouldn't do it. I'm sorry.

So how come
you still have a job?

-Because--
-Well, that was the deal, right?

Give me Jacob and Charity
or I walk.

Well, it seemed like
once he said--

How come you're not walking,
Grace?

Charity, once he said yes
to the idea of Jacob,

it didn't seem right
to just continue--

Oh, so you didn't push for me
at all?

I pushed as much as I could.

And then when it stopped
making sense,

an idea
you might not understand--

So why Jacob and not me?

Jacob's led a church, Charity.

Oh, so you're on Gigi's side now
that you're getting everything

-you want.
-Oh, here goes crazy.

You know what? I will
whoop your ass, Stringbean!

Bring it, Butterbean!

-Really? Really?
-Don't. Stop.

Both of y'all, stop.

None of you care about me.

Would you please stop
catastrophizing?

Not one of you...

has walked over to hug me

or to say, "Sorry, Charity,
I know this hurts."

If you would just be quiet
and have your feelings

instead of spraying
like some lose fire hose,

-maybe we could.
-Yeah.

-Just watch.
-[Kerissa] Oh, Charity. Please--

Just sit down, okay?

[Charity] Why? Why?

Because y'all the ones that's
gonna get this church back,

'cause y'all the A-Team?

Well, when it's all said
and done,

you wanna know
who's gonna be preaching

and teaching and reaching
for every possible star

from behind that pulpit? Me!

[Kerissa] Mm-mm.

-[Kerissa scoffs]
-Go ahead and laugh, Kerissa.

Huh? What...

I'm the one that's bringing
dignity back to Calvary.

Ain't that right, Daddy?

-Yes, baby, but don't--
-Pastor Charity Greenleaf.

'Cause God is good all the time.

Hallelujah.

-He's looking for Mama.
-Mama's busy.

[phone ringing]

This is Phil.

I'm in.

[phone ringing]

[exhales]

Noah. Hey.

Grace,
why haven't you called me back?

I've been busy.

-What's up?
-I just got a phone call

from some inmate
at a prison in Arizona.

He says he's our son.
