Previously on
"Our Kind of People"...

I came to save
our company, Jack.

I gave Teddy my shares.

There's always been
something special between us.

I am staying
in Bungalow 3.

Angela:
It's kind of crazy --

both of us getting to know
our fathers at the same time.

We both think you should
move in with us.

Thank you.

How are you feeling
about your dad?

Can you please
not press me tonight?

Darius Bates knew your father
better than anybody.

He did have a girlfriend.

Patricia Vaughn?

N-Nothin' too much.

Taking the same long-ass boat

back there in the fall.

Oh. Are we all going back
to Boston in the fall?

Well --Uh, Angela's about

to contribute.

That's right.

Leah: And as you know,

we are approaching
the end of summer.

Our Dean of New Prospects,
Olivia DuPont,

will explain
what the next few weeks

will entail for those of you
looking to join our sisterhood.

Thank you,
Madam President.

Now, over the next
few weeks,

some of this chapter's
most prestigious alumni

will be returning
to the island

to personally vet
this prospective class.

Now, the first of these
"get to know you" events

will be this evening's
Low Country Crab Boil,

where some of you
will meet expectations

and others of you will not.

- O-Olivia.
- What?

I frankly don't think
that our alumni

will get her...
charm.

"Her" has a name,
and why not?

I mean, I've proven that
I want this sisterhood,

and I'm down with
public service just like y'all.

I don't get it.
Is it back to that stuff

about my bank account,
or lack thereof?

Ms. Vaughn, as much as
we know how much you love

making a one-woman show
out of every event,

we have actual business
to attend to.

Thank you.

You started it
with your slick comment.

I'm -- I'm sorry.

I'm just speaking up for myself.

My mother, who was
the smartest person

God ever saw fit
to walk this Earth,

always taught me to speak
your mind at any time.

And in order to become
a Gracetie,

you must also learn
that there are times

when decorum must
take precedence

over your opinion.

Okay, Olivia,
let's not do this.

This is what I mean.

There's a certain refinement
that comes from being born

to this rare air

that is impossible
to counterfeit.

That is why the Graceties
have never invited

someone not on our level
into our membership.

Not on your level.
You know what's not counterfeit?

This blood.

- Angela.
- I belong here.

Angela, let's just --No, she --

Let's just take a walk.
It's fine.

As I was saying...

All right, you need
to calm down.

Calm down?
Did you not hear Olivia?

You know what?
If being a Gracetie means

being more like her,
I'm out.

- I don't need this.
- Actually, you do.

Why?
You'll see.

Man on TV: Dow Inc, meantime,
posting an earnings feed

for its second quarter --

Angela, hello.
Hey.

Leah and I wanted
to talk to you,

and I'm afraid
it's bad news.

What is it?
Is it your health?

No, no, no, I'm fine.

It's the incubator
program.

Franklin Holdings is
going to shut down

this summer's program,

which means that
your distribution deal

- isn't gonna happen.
- What?

Ever since the intrepid
Alex Rivera

exposed my Parkinson's
diagnosis,

we've taken a hit.

The board voted
to stabilize

by putting all of our assets
in the stadium deal.

Franklin Holdings cannot
invest in anything now.

Leah:
Including Eve's Crown.

So it's over?

Just like that?

I'm sorry,
but our hands are tied.

I left everything in Boston
to come here.

I put my heart and soul
into this program.

And now I have nothing?

Oh, my God.

I have nothing.

I feel so stupid!

To think that one summer
could change my life

and my daughter's life.

It doesn't have
to be like that.

The Graceties support
Black businesswomen

from within the ranks.

So win over the Graceties,
and I promise you,

you will stay on track
to meet your goals.

And, yes, you have to go
through all the events

and you have to get
around Olivia.

Why were you and Taylor

I found his key card

Look, I knew that you and Dad

No, no, no. Raymond, last week
at the beach club,

Jack gave me a key card
and invited me to his bungalow,

but he was wasted, and it was
totally inappropriate,

and obviously, I didn't go.

I'm sorry
I didn't tell you.

Lauren, listen, I don't want
you to have to worry

about our marriage, okay?

Because your mother and I,
we're solid.

Lauren, why don't you go splash

A few weeks ago, Tyrique
came to see me,

about his father's past.

My past.

And it just brought up
so many memories that it...

triggered the old me,

I was addicted to crack
back in the day,

and I fell in love
with my dealer, Darius.

Our love was so volatile.

And one day, we were high as
kites and we got to fightin'.

And I swear,
I wasn't going down easy,

'cause he had his hand
on my neck.

But I was able to grab a --
a --

a knife from the kitchen
counter, and I stabbed him!

Now, I didn't mean to kill him.
I swear I didn't.

I mean, I didn't want to!
I loved him!

But I was so scared.

And I...

I told Eve.

And she said that her boss,

Teddy Franklin,
would know what to do.

And so he had his bodyguard,
Tyrique's dad,

Calvin,
take care of the body.

And that was that.

You must think that
I'm a monster.

Nope.

I had to get out of there,

you've been
getting to know Teddy,

Now, he been danglin'
Darius' murder over my head
