Previously on Queen Sugar.

I'm gonna stage
a ring shout on the land.

I just need to get a couple corporations

to feel the same way
about this place as I do.

They will.

Making money is exciting,
but it can't be your end goal.

Think about what you're
putting out into the world.

I'm selling black history month.

Plantains are my specialty.
My mom taught me.

- How is she?
- She's good.

You would tell me if
there was a problem, right?

Vince?

Be true to your own heart.

I wanna understand what's
kept you away for so long.

And I will tell you when I'm ready.

You got me in this pool...

Just like that, just let go.
Lift your feet up.

Okay, very good.

- You didn't get that.
- .I don't know how to swim.

Wait, wait, wait.

- What?
- Let me show you.

You just let

the water hold you up.

All right.

You got me?

I got you.

- You sure?
- Mmm-hmm.

All you have to do is breathe.

Just relax.

I'm sorry.

I know you're disappointed in me.

Grandma's really mad.

This is serious, Blue.

Maybe being suspended won't be so bad.

I could come home early.

I can't wait to see you guys.

Really miss you.

He is really buttering us up.

Okay, look, I have to go
or I'll miss my flight.

Bye, mom. Bye, pops.

- Bye, Blue.
- Catch you later, Blue.

Don't forget "baby
and friends" at three.

You know how expensive those
classes are and they don't do refunds.

I got it.

You have the doctor's number
in case anything comes up.

I know it's on your phone

but I also taped it
to the fridge just in case.

Baby, tell mommy we got it.

I cannot believe Blue would do this.

They might suspend him.

Maybe we just come with you.

Take a little family trip.

No, you need to be here.

There's the auction, the first harvest.

I'll be back in time for the potluck.

Maybe I just shouldn't go.

Baby, go.

Look, we'll be here waiting
for you when you get back.

Aight?

Go take care of our little man.

Pop quiz.

When is "baby and friends"?

Ralph Angel, give me
your phone so I can...

Today.

It's at three, right?

Right.

I got this.

Say bye.

- I'll see you later.
- Mmm-hmm.

That's so funny.

Billie!

I love that top.

Good morning!

Don't be too long.

Sorry, honey, I thought you...

I thought you were out.

No, no, it's fine, daddy.

I mean, this is your house, so...

You guys seem, um...

Seem really happy.

Weren't you and Vince

supposed to be having
breakfast this morning?

We did.

And it didn't go great.

So he's taking a walk.

This is so hard.

I mean, I don't even know
what to say anymore.

Vince came all the way
out here to prove he cares.

Let him.

I'm different now.

This time apart has changed me.

It's changed us.

You know, I'll wait in your room.

I see you two are talking.

No, no, Sandy, stay.

- Oh, don't go.
- Stay.

No, I insist.

Like, I have to get out of here anyway.

Give you two your space.

Are you sure you don't need to talk?

No, daddy. I'm fine.

Thanks.

Oh, baby, I'm still setting up.

Give me about an hour.

I'm wish social services.

I'm looking for a Joaquin Avila.

Heard he might be working here.

What's this all about?

I've spent the last three weeks

looking for Joaquin
and his brother Dante.

They haven't been in school.

And I have reason to believe there's
no adult supervision in the house.

Well, he's not here.

But if I hear anything,
I will let you know.

Please, this is serious.

It starts with skipping school and...

...Doesn't end well.

- But all of this, I don't understand it.
- No!

cWhat if... Would you talk some sense

into Cardale?

Now, we all need to put
our land in a trust

so what happened to Parthena
won't happen again.

He's right.

The land trust,
it will hold them at bay.

My part has been in my family
for three generations.

And it's gonna stay another three more.

So, you just thinking about yourself?

Is that all this is about?

- No!
- Listen up, come on.

I thought we gotta work together, right?

Now, tomorrow they auction off
Ms. Parthena's land.

We said we wanna help, right?

Now, this is the chance.

Ralph Angel, what you going on about?

We going to that auction.

And we bid against each other,

box out the other bidders.

You get your land back.

We got enough money pooled.

Plus we got some funds left over.

Right?

You think it could work?

Got more than enough.

I mean, if we all work together.

- Is everybody in?
- I'm in.

We will miss you.

Count me in.

- Yo! Zane.
- What's up?

What's good, man?

Hey, sup, bro?

What the hell was that?

What was what?

The guys. They just, like, ignored me

when I tried to dab Mo.

You're only as good as your last sell.

Told you.

Those political photos
you posted didn't sell.

Okay, so...

If I'm not selling all the time,
then I'm just out?

Yeah, I told you upfront.

You came to me to sell your art, right?

Yeah.

Well, you wanna know what sells?

What's hot.

This girl turned her ex's
text messages into an NFT.

Yo, and it sold for 35k.

- Mmm-hmm.
- Damn.

And this one.

It's a boomerang of LeBron James.

It sold for 208k.

Sheesh.

Your dad's an NBA star.

Got something like that?

I don't wanna put my exes on blast,
so let me see.

Holy shit, that's what
I'm talking about.

This is perfect.

Dude, you post this, it's gonna sell.

No. No way.

I... I gotta get out of here, man.

I'm behind on this assignment.

Dr. Hall wants us to take
an evocative photo

of a fascinating stranger.

Sounds artsy.

After you're done, maybe your dad

can introduce you to LeBron,
you can sell something.

Yeah.

I got the stuff for the co-op
potluck tonight.

This, I think is for you.

A social worker came by looking for you.

Did you tell her I worked here?

No, I did not.

But I think you need to tell me
what the hell is going on right now.

I'm sorry, miss Violet.

It's my mom.

A couple weeks ago,
she didn't come home.

And ever since we were younger,

she told us that
if she didn't come home,

then ice got her, and we should hide.

Oh, Joaquin...

Why didn't you come to me?

They told us that they'd
separate us in foster care.

And then we'd disappear,
that they could never find us.

Do you know where your mom is?

Mexico.

She called that she's coming back.

We just have to stay put.

Not right.

Separate families.

So, where is your brother?

Joaquin?

I wanna see where y'all are staying.

Show me.

Dante, it's okay to come out.

Oh, baby.

What happened?

He got into a fight at school.

Y'all got any family around here?

No, it's just us.

Okay.

All right.

So, Dante, pack your stuff.

Whatever you need.

You're going home with me.

We'll figure out the rest later.

We have to stay here.

Our mom is coming back.

We'll find some way to contact her.

But for now, we going home.

Mama thought we weren't
gonna be on time,

but look at us!

Toine.

Man, what you doing here?

Man!

You got all swole on me.

- Good to see you.
- Good to see you, too.

Man, you gotta stay ready,
you know what I mean?

These kids might look young,
but any of them try to bully my kid,

they'll be dealt with.

- Hey, drew.
- Hit up uncle Toine.

Oh, my god, you in trouble,
man, she looks smart.

She's gonna have you wrapped
around her finger in no time.

She already does.

What's up, little man?

He got so big.

Mmm-hmm, man,
it goes fast, I'm telling you.

Shoot, we was trying
for years to get pregnant.

Four rounds of ivf and then finally,

this here's our million dollar baby.

And he's perfect.

I know you and the missus must be proud.

Swelled up and proud.

Oh, brother, look at this doll,
you see this?

Now, he carries this thing everywhere.

I have to sneak it out from under
him just to wash it

after he's asleep.

You know how Blue was,
couldn't let go of Ken.

- Oh, yeah, how's he doing?
- He's all right.

Darla's with him in DC right now.

Got in a little bit of trouble.

Just don't like him not being so close.

Yeah, I bet.

Hey, man, I'm so glad you're here.

Usually me and dar
are the only black folks.

Now you, another black father at that,

we about to blow some minds, brother.

Let's show them how it's done, huh?

- Come on.
- Are you ready, baby girl? Come on.

You ready to show some stuff?

- Right here.
- Yeah.

- All right.
- This your spot?

See, you gotta show me what we doing.

My first time, bruh.

Well, man, it's pretty easy,
all you gotta do is clap.

I just gotta clap.

That's all I'm supposed to do?

- Little shoulder work, bro.
- Oh, we can do that, huh.

You okay, baby?

They weren't teaching us, we need...

it's still illegal to hack
into the school server.

So when he comes in, you apologize.

Mrs. Bordelon,
I appreciate you coming all this way.

Of course.

We understand that Blue
found the history lessons lacking,

but hacking into the system
is unacceptable.

Blue, do you have something that you
would like to say

to principal Jacobs?

In our class,
we learned a quote from Walt Whitman,

"Do I contradict myself?
Very well, then I contradict myself.

I am large, I contain multitudes."

We've been on the ground.

Assata Shakur taught us that there
is nothing to lose but our chains.

We've been in the sky.

Bessie Coleman was
the first black woman,

the first indigenous woman,
to hold a pilot's license.

Mae Jemison took us to space
way back in 1992.

All these names, we never hear about.

We contain multitudes.

And this school is
not teaching any of it.

There are multiple ways of
addressing your criticism, Mr. Bordelon.

Virtual breaking and entering
is not one of them.

Blue may not have gone
about this the right way,

but he is right.

These icons all broke
the rules to make progress.

Are you doing anything
to address the curriculum?

It hasn't been discussed.

Now, Blue was
a summer school student here

and he improved your curriculum

by sharing historical information

that was missing from your lesson plans.

What he did should be rewarded,
not punished.

What happened to a phone call?

I mean, you couldn't call to let me know

you were bringing home two
whole human beings to stay with us.

After I saw how they was living,

there was nothing to talk about.

Vi, this is the same kid
who wrecked your diner.

We all gotta past and we're
all better than our worst day.

Well, how long they staying?

I don't know yet.

Let's just give it a couple
of days and go from there.

Right now, we all they got.

They need us.

Never underestimate
the love of a Bordelon woman.

Come here.

Look, we've had, no,
we have a good life together, Billie.

If we're really being honest,

it's just
been kind of going through the motions.

I like the motions.

All right, look,

remember our late-night
strategy sessions when we first met?

- That would turn into...
- me on the desk.

- Calling on god.
- Yeah.

And then we'd talk all night.

Be each other's sounding board.

Talk about our dreams,
our future, house, kids.

Those were your dreams about our future.

When Laila went to college
and it was just us,

I realized how much I gave up.

Gave up?

What'd you give up?

You know I wanted to be a lawyer,
Vince, come on.

I asked you a hundred times if
you wanted to go back to school.

And a hundred more
if you wanted to get married.

Don't revise things.

I felt stuck.

I did.

And it wasn't because of you,
if was because of me.

I mean, I thought I went
from being a bad daughter

to a bad friend, to a bad mother

and I didn't wanna be a bad wife.

I was stuck in my head.

And then I came here.

And...

I realized I wasn't a bad
daughter or a bad friend.

I was taken advantage of.

I was assaulted.

And, um, abused.

That I was disbelieved and dismissed.

The last six months, it's been kind of,
you know,

digging through all of that.

'Cause, I mean, who am I?

When I find out everything
that I was isn't true.

You know, I mean,
maybe I'm better than I thought.

Look what I missed punishing myself.

Baby, I never gave you all of me.

I never gave you everything.

I never wanted to let anyone,
let alone you, fully in.

You see?

I was punishing myself
and you in the process.

And that can't be undone.

It has to be fixed inside.

That's what I'm doing here, Vince.

That's what I need you to let me do.

I'm sorry.

Hey, man, look, I'm sorry
we've been so out of touch.

But that one just takes
up all of our time, you know.

It's all good, bruh.

I'm right there with you
working two jobs.

Just trying to make it happen.

Yeah, man, I heard about the farm.

You did?

Been working it out
about you and them boys.

Cops still treating you right?

Actually, I resigned.

And after the last two years
and becoming a dad,

it changed my whole
perspective on what I was

willing to risk every day, you know?

Well, it changed everything
for us too, really.

You know, when I told my wife

that I
was gonna quit my job with no plan b,

- I thought she would kill me.
- Of course.

Yeah, but after she cussed me out,
she asked me,

"what do you love to do?"

Do what you love,
it don't feel like work, right?

Mmm-hmm.

You know, I was a good cop,
but I didn't love it.

I wanna leave something for my kids,
you know, make a difference.

Figure out what that is yet?

Well, I started volunteering
with these trans kids in the city.

And my wife started to come join me.

And now we run the center together.

You done figured it out,
oh, man, that's what's up.

Congratulations, brother.

Appreciate you, brother, no doubt.

- Thank you.
- Bruh.

Hey, but you're on yours too, right?

- Oh, yeah.
- When can I get my farm-fresh delivery?

I'm happy to get that family
and friends discount, okay?

- You care, huh?
- Yes, I do.

- I got you.
- All right, I like to hear it.

Well, listen, you're coming back, right?

I'll be back.

Yeah, we gotta show these
white girls what's going down.

- Hey, come on, you know how we do.
- That's it, man.

It reminds me of Kennedi Carter's work.

Did rahad tell you that?

Yeah. Busted.

When I saw you standing here,
I wanted to come up and talk,

I didn't know how to break the ice.

Well, that's a good start,
her work is stunning.

It is.

It is. Hey, I'm Micah.

Pleased to meet you, Micah.

You too, you too, I'm
actually taking a class here with rahad.

He told to take a photo of a fascinating
stranger,

capture their stories.

- I was hoping, maybe...
- he's stealing my whole act.

That was one of my assignments
when Rahad was one of my students.

Oh, you're a photographer?

- I am.
- Wow.

Fascinating stranger...
What makes me fascinating to you?

I mean, take a look, you got
all this style, the swag, this vibe.

Like, I don't know, you just pop.

You're a smooth talker, huh?

Wait, is this yours?

Wow.

That's great.

It's great, I was here the other
day just staring at her eyes.

You get lost in those eyes.

I did many times.

Love of my life.

Hey, do you think I can, uh,
take a photo of you two?

Sure.

You're the fascinating stranger.
What's your story?

I... I don't really know.
I guess I'm still figuring it out.

If you don't define you for you,
others will.

The next time I see you,
you need an answer.

Aw.

Nova, our office is buzzing

from the ring shout protest you did.

Thank you, I'm still
processing the impact it had.

So, the movie, the
producers are just chomping at the bit.

They wanna get it fast-tracked,

so the team wants to come
to New Orleans to meet you.

I see.

You're still not thinking of saying no.

I need everyone in my family to approve,
all of them.

And I haven't even asked
with everything going on.

Okay, Nova, this is
a once in a lifetime offer. Ask them.

- Work your magic.
- I'll try.

Okay, thanks, we'll talk soon.

Blue, being young
and black and brilliant,

the world is gonna convince you

that you're breaking the rules,

when you're just being yourself,
but don't ever let it.

Well, when I get my computer back,

if you want, I could put a website
for the co-op and on Vi's pies.

I love that.

She could pay me in pies.

No, get it in cash.

Then I'll just buy pies.

Darla Sutton.

What are you doing in DC?

Look at you, gorgeous.

It's, um, Darla Bordelon now
and this is my son, Blue Bordelon.

How old are you, Blue?

I'm 11.

Wow, has it been 11 years
since we were in college?

Um, Blue, can you go get us
some extra sprinkles, get a lot.

- Am I crazy, he looks a lot like chase.
- No.

Uh, Ralph Angel is his father.

I'm just saying,
you and Chase did have a moment.

There was no moment.

I was unconscious.

I'm so sorry, I didn't know that.

Wait, was it that night?

The past is the past, you know,
I'm not looking back, so...

You know he's running for congress.

- There were rumors even back then...
- please.

Let it go.

Hey.

Mom? You okay?

- Yeah, yeah.
- Who was that?

- Just an old friend. Need help?
- Thanks.

They said they didn't
have any, uh, sprinkles.

I thought it would just be us bidding.

Don't worry, we've got enough
to outbid everybody here.

It's a good plan, Ralph.

Start of something new.

Ladies and gentlemen, up next we have

a 100-acre plot of foreclosed farmland.

Item c-24.

I'd like to start the bidding
off at 200k.

200k, 200.

Thank you very much, sir,
200 dollar down right here.

Now, who'll give me 210,
210, anybody? 210.

210 dollar down right here.

Now, who's got 215? 220, anybody?

220 right here, dollar down right here.

Thank you very much, sir, 220.

Anybody 230, anybody? 230!

230 dollar down right here, 230.

Don't worry about it.

How about 240, anybody, 240?

240 dollar down right here.
240 going once, going twice...

Seven hundred.

I'll pay $700,000 for that
gorgeously maintained piece of land.

700 going once,
going twice, sold to Landry enterprises.

- Landry!
- Easy.

Hey!

You don't hear me talking to you?

The other day, I had a drink in my hand,
ready to unwind.

And I get a phone call telling me
your ring shout moved city counsel

and they reversed the decision.

Parthena had nothing to do with that.

See, you morons never know
when to leave well enough alone.

Maybe you'll learn today.

Sorry about that, Parthena.

These old pictures
of you and mom are just...

I don't know if I'll ever
experience a love like this.

I'm no angel, so if I can have
a second chance, so can you.

Ah.

My wedding day to Claire was...

...best day behind me.

Besides the day
I held you for the first time.

Mmm.

Yeah.

I don't wanna replace Claire.

You're not, daddy.

She's still with us.

And Sandy loves you.

So you got a lot more
good days in front of you.

And so do you.

Why don't you give Vince
a second chance?

Hell, he's here already.
How convienent is that?

You two don't quit, do you?

So you gonna be at the potluck, right?

I don't know.

I think I'm gonna stay home tonight.

You gotta be there.

It's the first harvest. Please?

Daddy, you got that look in your eye.

What you up to?

So silly.

Vi, thank god for you. How are the boys?

Are they okay?

Are they eating?

They are here. They're safe.
They're going to school.

- Don't you worry.
- Thank god.

Thank you, Vi.

It's so hard to communicate
to anyone on the outside.

Ignacio, how you holding up
in there, buddy?

Everything okay?

I'm okay.
I just needed to know my boys are safe.

I can't lose them.

Everyone here's trying
to find their children.

They need to stay together.

Please, don't let them get lost.

My church got me a lawyer.

And she says that I should
request legal guardians.

Of course, man.

Look, they can stay here
as long as you need.

Absolutely.

Thank you.

Thank you so much.

They're my everything.

I know bea's trying to get back but...

Please take care of them.

We will and I know
they really wanna talk to you.

Here you go.

- Papa.
- Mijos.

Papa.

We got through.

- We miss you so much.
- Mijos.

So that's where
the boys will be sleeping.

And we have, uh, a couple of bed...

twin
beds that we're getting from a neighbor.

And we got plenty of food.

Plenty.

Probably too much.

Matter of fact, Joaquin is always trying

- to get me to do more organic.
- Mmm-hmm.

Hmm.

This will have to be locked away.

Oh, yeah. I'm putting all
that liquor up. All that's gone.

Ah, and the bottle of Sherry,
nobody's drinking that, all right?

- Vi uses that for cooking.
- Doesn't matter.

You'd be surprised
what these kids get into.

Duly noted.

I don't usually do it like this,

but the boys can stay with you
while you complete your application.

If you pass, you're good to
be their temporary guardians.

That's great.

- Mmm-hmm.
- Oh, what else do you need?

Just more paperwork.
Detailing income, employment,

background checks and
all adults on the premises.

All very standard.

Is there any other adults
living here besides you two?

Gotta get you out more often.

If it's how it's gonna
be when you get back.

Mmm. Oh.

You know, I really did miss you.

You held it down all by yourself.

I know all those thirsty moms
at class were like, "mmm...

...Is he single?"

I mean...

Maybe like one or two.

- Maybe three.
- Mmm-hmm.

She fine.

How was the rest of the trip?

Darla.

Trip.

I'm just tired.

I'm good.

Now that I'm here with you.

Give me a kiss.

Mmm.

All right, boy, chicken, everybody.

Oh, no. Is that Lucille? Oh, girl.

What are you doing
at our first harvest potluck?

Prosper invited me out of the blue.

Something about miracles and love.

I really couldn't tell you.

Yeah, he's smitten. That's for sure.

Now, hold on.

Ain't that the little trollop

that tried
to steal your husband back in the day?

She at it again.

Talking to your current husband.

First, Hollywood's
not my current husband.

Hollywood's my forever husband.

My equally yolked helped me.

Understand that?

Second, all that mess you talking about

was started by Jimmy Dale.

Yeah, he was a grown man
chasing after young girls.

He was the one...

...spreading that lie about
that poor girl hiking up her skirt.

You think you can learn
anything from that?

Thank you.

I love thinking like,
"what have I done?"

I haven't been anywhere.

All right, man, we get it.

Next year at Miami at art Basel...

- Nah.
- ...We'll get lit.

It's more than that,
like, I wanna break the mold.

We spend all day chasing trends,
trying to make money, for what?

What if we were the new vanguard?

You know, what if we walked in
and set the standard?

Guys, one more round
and we're out, all right?

Yo, you get what
I'm trying to say, right?

I'm... I'm just confused 'cause...

...you came to me on some work...

- Yeah.
- I invest in you and...

...you get lucky, you make one sale.

And now you're posting
photos that clash with our study.

You came.

Your dad insisted that I
not leave without saying goodbye.

Right.

Well, I'm really glad you're here.

Me too.

You wanna dance?

Sure.

May I?

Of course.

Look, I don't know...

How much time you need,

but while you're taking it, just...

Just know that I'm... I'm waiting.

I mean, I made myself okay with
our relationship being on your terms.

Told myself it was fine.

I've been telling myself that for years.

And...

I'm gonna try to continue
to give you what you need now.

What I learned about your past...

I understand that it was traumatic.

And that you deserve the room.

Thank you.

Look, man, I like you.

And you're talented.

You're smart.

Look, I reason out for everybody.

And that's okay.

No matter what, we'll always be cool.

Yo, Micah.

Gonna be late for dead ghost 69's party.
You coming?

Ah, no. I'll meet you out there.

Okay.

This is the last time.

If you choose us...

Things have to be different.

Very different.

So let that be part of your decision.

No more secrets.

No more distance.

You come back...

...we get married.

And we grow together...

...or we don't.

No more in between.

Okay.

Prosper Denton, what are you doing?

Come on, dance with me.

We're gathered here today
to celebrate the co-op's

first harvest.

The odds were against us,
but we made it here

and to me that is a miracle.

And Sandy...

You're my miracle.

You've made me happier
than I've been in years.

And if you'll have me,

I'd like to return the joy,
the passion and the love

for as long as I can.

Okay.

Sandy Leflore,

will you marry me?

Yes, darling, I will marry you.
