[woman] Previously on Greenleaf:

In the event that things
between your parents

take yet another turn
for the worse,

the deacons may ask you
to step up.

-Step up?
-Take over as head pastor.

I'm divorcing James.
I wanna start my own church.

-Girl, you already got
a perfectly good one.
-Which one?

-Calvary, honey,
I could really slap you.
-Go ahead.

-Do it!
-Girls!

-How much more space
do you need?
-You shouldn't be here.

If I was your money manager,
I would definitely advise you

to make sure you're protected.

I'm thinking it might be wise

for us to sit down
with my money people.

Stop. Don't be mad.

I'm not.
I'll call you later.

Ma'am, are you
Charity Greenleaf?
I need you to come with us.

Zora's room!

Oh, Lord.

-Babies.
-[intercom beeps]

[Karine] First Lady?

-Yes?
-Nana Clara's on line one.

Wonderful, wonderful,
thank you, Jesus.

Clara, hello!

Oh, yes.
We've been expecting your call.

I cannot tell you how much
Bishop and I appreciate
your generosity.

You...

What...

Clara is not
giving us the money.

I know, I just got off the phone
with her money manager.

What a piece of work
that man is.

And what reason
did he give you?

He supposedly has a problem
with the tax bill being

a personal and not
an institutional debt,

but I've got a funny feeling
that he's just hanging
onto every penny,

thinking that when Clara dies,
he'll cash in.

What did she say?

That she heard that you
and I were having troubles

and she wouldn't feel right,
down the road,
supporting a church

with a divorced bishop.

Who told her
we're having troubles?

Well, she said Connie,
but James, everybody's talking.

Look, it's just money.
I... I'll handle it.

Oh, like you
did the last time?

Mae, Mac was your brother,

he's the one that got us
into this mess!

No, you both got us
into this mess.

And Mac failed
to get us out.

And you weren't there
every week when we collected

those offerings, when we
paid for those cars in cash?

You told me that those
offerings were not taxable,
and I believed you!

-And I believed Mac!
-Oh, look, everybody knows
we're having problems.

-And you have
to do something about it.
-Like what?

Tell the church,
like adults, that we're
getting divorced.

And then you'll step aside
and I'll take over.

-Excuse me?
-You heard me.

-Take over what?
-Don't you dare act like you
didn't know when you met me

that I had a calling
on my life from God.

And I dumped it in the dirt
and followed you,
and what did that get me?

Chanel and Tiffany.

James, step down.
Walk away.

Let me raise the money
for the IRS,
it won't be your problem.

Now, that is my offer.
And you won't get better.

I applaud your desire to
reclaim what you left behind.
I really do.

But, sadly, it's based
on a sorely mistaken idea.

If we divorce,

it's you who will
exit the building.
Not me.

That's nature's way.

[theme music plays]

[knock on door]

-Yeah?
-[Mae] Yes.

-Yes?
-Bible study in 15 minutes.

-Did you hear me?
-Yes.

-Thank you.
-[moans]

It's just the hope in this
passage, it's so inspirational.

Morning, Zora.

-Zora.
-Morning.

-Good morning, Grandma.
-Morning.

-Have a good run.
-Thank you.

So, Zora, why don't you
read the next verse.

[sighs]

"For I have
briefly abandoned you,

but with deep compassion,
I will bring you back."

And he will.

He will bring us back.

[knock on door]

Hey. Can I come in?

-What do you want?
-Just seeing if you're okay.

Why wouldn't I be?

Isn't Kevin coming
this morning to pick up
Nathan for the week?

Yeah, and he wouldn't be if you
had just stayed out of it.

-I asked him not
to call the police.
-And he just wouldn't listen?

I got arrested
at the Four Seasons, Grace.

And I made sure
that he didn't press charges.

Not before I was in handcuffs!

Do you have any idea
how humiliating that...?

If you called me,
I could have come and got you.

Get out! God, leave!

-[sighs]
-I'm sorry.

Hey.

[yelps, pants]

[moaning]

-Karine.
-Good morning, Bishop.

-Get me Percy Thompson, please.
-Right away.

Bishop?

I just want to say
I'm sorry about Nana

not giving you the money.

Don't be silly.
God will provide.

Can't wait to see how.

Wow. Jacob has
to sign all of these?

-You have a problem with that?
-No. I...

Um, what are they?

Well, most of them are just
a bunch of legalese nothing,

but there is a form in there
that authorizes the opening

of a bank account
for the Real Church.

Real... Real Church
doesn't exist anymore.

Child, lean over like you know
how and get him to sign,

and believe me,
he won't be looking down.

All right.

-You going to Calvary?
-Hm!

After the way Bishop talked to
me at that Round Table party?

He gonna have to look for me.
And with his IRS troubles

all over the front page news,
you can bet your ass he is.

-Hm...
-Mae, you wanted to see me?

Yes, please come in,
close the door.

I am so concerned,
as I'm sure you are, Connie,
about this IRS scandal.

-But it's going to be okay.
-I have no doubt.

Please.

Now, I've already spoken
to Bishop about stepping aside.

He hasn't assented to it yet,
but I know he will,

because he, as well
as you and I, Connie,
want what's best for Calvary.

Well, this is such
a relief to hear.

And the good news is I am
ready to step up and take over.

Mae, we've... we've
had this discussion before.

Well, this time
it's not a discussion.

Mae, it's my feeling,

and the Deacon Board
shares this feeling,

that the best hope
for a stable future

is if a disinterested third
party takes over the pulpit.

And who on earth
would be disinterested?

Why, Grace.

[Sophia] Okay,
walk straight a couple steps.

Okay, stop. Turn to your left.

Yes. Now, keep going straight,
keep going straight.

A little the right,
a little to the right.
Oh, there we go.

We saved you.
Now, turn around.

Okay. Slowly sit down.

Good job. [laughs]

Okay. So that's what it
means to have faith.

Just like Gavin
trusted me to lead him,
we trust God to lead us.

Even when we can't see
where we're going
and it's super scary.

Make sense? Okay. Good.

So I want everybody
to help clean up.

-Hey.
-Hey, stranger.

You're so good with them.

I think they're
good with me.

What are you
doing after this?

-Why?
-I was thinking we can
grab something to eat.

Someone wants to apologize?

For starters.

Sounds like you got
what Gil Scott-Heron
calls the double blues.

-What's that?
-Oh, that's the "I got no money,
neither no woman" blues.

That's not so funny
when you actually
have those blues.

You had some trouble
with the IRS a few
years back, didn't you?

Indeed I did.
Rolled up to my funeral home

and found a padlock on the door
and a sign hollering,
"Negro, get me my money."

-How'd you handle that?
-Well, got me a lawyer.

Robbed Peter to pay Paul.
Borrowed this. Sold that.

-I didn't owe no millions.
-Well...

This is a deeper hole
than I done ever been in,
that's for sure.

Well, you got a way to dig
yourself out of that hole.
You just too scared to use it.

-How you say that?
-That pretty little
bunny you had

-prancing around your party.
-Ms. Cross, yeah.

So why you talking to me
when you need to be
talking to her?

Percy, there be dragons.

The thing about dragons
is they got pots of gold.

Now, hat woman handles more
than hedge funds and stocks.

She's into crypto-currency
and apparently
doing quite well.

-Crypto-what?
-Crypto-currencies.
Z-coins, bit-cash.

-Never heard of it.
-Well, it's a whole new market.

It's growing faster
than bad grass.

-How'd you hear about it?
-Her website.

-What you doing on her website?
-And what do you care?

Oh, just give me
the lawyer's number.

Well, get me her number.

You know, you ain't
nothin' but trouble.

Yeah, but good trouble.

-[knock on door]
-Hey, Pastor, got a minute?

Yeah, sure, come in, Tasha.

-Oh, smart.
-Oh, I can come back.

No, no, no. You're just in time
to witness my crushing victory.

Okay. Hey there, handsome.

-[both laugh]
-He looks just like you.

That's what they tell me.

All right. There's my move.
What's your move?

-Checkmate.
-What?

Is that... are you kidding me?

You see that?
How'd you get to be so smart?

You get those smarts
from me? Huh?

-Um, you know, I should go.
-No, no, no. Hold on.
It's cool. Hold on.

-Is that for me?
-Oh, it... it can wait.

I mean, it's okay.
I could use a win

after the stomping I just took
from the little master here.

[chuckles] Um, I...
I just...

You know, it's the silliest
thing, the A/C in my office,

the little venty thingy,
it just blows
on full blast all the time.

-Okay.
-I talked to Craig
in the maintenance about

-turning it down, but...
-Well, you know what?
I'll give him a call.

Well, I mean, if you see him.
It's not a big deal.

-I'll take care of it.
-Okay.

Um, well, y'all have fun.

Okay? All right.

-Bye.
-Bye.

[knock on door]

Good afternoon, Mama.

So I spoke to Connie,
and I know about
this little coup of yours.

-Coup?
-You spoke to her
about taking over?

She spoke to me,
I said no.

Well, how conclusively?
Because she seems to think
that you're still available.

-Then I'll tell her again.
-If your father ever knew
that you were conspiring

with Connie to steal his church
from underneath him...

He'd be misinformed.

For your information, Mama,
you two are losing this church
all on your own.

You want Connie
off your backs?

Forgive each other and move on.
Put an end to all the rumors.
Lead.

Don't you think that
if I could put this mess
back together I would?

Do you honestly think that
I would cut off my own nose

to spite my face with so much
on the line, our whole family?

I don't know. I don't
know where the pride ends

and the weakness begins
with you two anymore.

I don't want the church.

Good. Because
you'll never get it.

[baby coos]

-Is everything okay?
-You tell me.

I'm just waiting on that
account authorization form.

Oh, yeah... um...

You couldn't get him
to sign it?

No, I just, um...

You know, it really
wasn't the right time.

-Do you wanna see Basie again?
-Of course I do.

Then make it the right time.

Because until we
can start shifting money
into that account,

we have nothing
on him or Bishop.

And you and Basie
ain't ever getting

Triumph back, understand?

Yeah, I... I'll get him
to sign them tomorrow.

Do.

Miss Connie.

-You spoke to my mother.
-I assume she spoke to you.

She did.

Look, I know you're up
against it, we all are.

But I'm not sure my taking over
the church is the right thing.

Last summer when I preached,
the offerings actually
went down.

And you and I both know
that my politics
aren't exactly in tune

with you
and the Deacon Board.

Well, I thought we might
be able to find a middle ground,

that is if by politics,
you mean Open and Inclusive.

There is no middle ground
with Open and Inclusive.

But it's more than that.

If I take over, I'm gonna want
to move this church forward.

To a place they may
not be ready to go.

Are you really willing
to just stand by

and watch this church die?

First of all,
I'm not standing by
and watching anything die.

I am on my knees day and night

praying that my parents will
find a way to work through this,

-or that God will work it out.
-I pray for that as well.

And no, I'm not willing to march
in place and call it progress

just to keep the Greenleaf name
on a letterhead.

-That's not church.
-And what is church to you?

Jesus's word.

Love. Unconditional love.

And change.

Well, change is coming.

Your mother has it in her head
to try and stay on
after the divorce.

What planet she heard
that works on, I don't know.

I look ahead
and I see schism, scandal,

and a big ol' "For Sale"
sign out front.

That'll be a change,
all right.

But it won't be church.

Hm.

Bishop Greenleaf.

As I live and breathe,
I never would have expected you

to darken my doorstep again.
Did you come to chide me
for not coming to service today?

I feel badly about how we
left things at the party. I...

...came to offer
my sincerest apology.

-Hm. Is that all?
-No. You were right.

I have been inconsistent
in my responses to you.

And of course you felt used.
Who could blame you?

I hope you can forgive me.

Well, I'm a Christian woman
first and foremost.
So yes, I do forgive you.

-Thank you.
-Is that all you came to say?

Well, I could
use a little advice.

-About?
-This IRS mess.

You've read the paper,
I assume.

-Me and everyone else.
-Indeed.

We thought we had it covered,
but we don't.

I didn't want to bother you,
but I prayed on it...

You prayed and it brought
you back to this Jezebel?

Is that how your Jesus works?

You just show up and say
I'm sorry and I'm supposed

to whip up some cash for you?
[laughs] Bruh...

It wasn't like that. I...

I thought you
wanted to help. I...

Now, why would
I want to help you?

No.

You're right. I'm sorry.

You just can't throw me
out on the street and
come back begging for favors.

If he comes back calling again,
Fred, don't tell me.

I don't want to know.

[Sophia] You've been
doing some digging.

You taking it back, huh?

My iPod was confiscated.

I just went through
Faith's old stuff,

and now I'm vibing out to
some Ice-T, pre- Law and Order.

I didn't know there was
a pre- Law and Order Ice-T.
Sign me up.

Wanna go to Zaxby's?

-Wanna go to Zaxby's?
-I'd rather eat my socks.

You know, I don't especially
wanna hang out with you either.

I'm just trying to be nice.

[gasps]

-What's the matter with you?
-Nothing.

I just keep getting
this pain in my side.

Maybe you're pregnant.

[gasping, sobbing]

Are you sure
you don't want to?

-Take over Calvary? Yeah.
-Mm-hm.

Some church someday? Maybe.

Would you wanna
be First Gentleman?

-[laughs]
-Oh!

-Is that what they call it?
-Uh-huh.

First Lady,
First Gentleman.

Huh. I don't know.

I couldn't be First Boyfriend?

Not in any church
I'd be running.

No, they wouldn't have it.
And really neither would I.

That's good to know.

[phone vibrates]

-Mm. It's my mother.
-Mm.

Okay.

She's just calling
to yell at me.

Hello?

[siren wails]

[monitor beeping]

-Hi.
-Here, you acknowledge this
is an exploratory laparotomy,

and you consent to treatment
for conditions discovered
during surgery.

-Perfect. Thank you.
-Thank you.

We're gonna have the nurses
come in and prep you
for surgery now.

-Okay?
-I'm scared.

It's gonna be all right,
sweetheart.

-Will you stay with me?
-After we get you prepped,

she can come back in
and sit with you.

I'm gonna be right
down the hall.

-I love you.
-I love you.

-Any word?
-She has an ovarian torsion.

They're gonna untwist it,
try to figure out
what caused it.

-Oh, my Lord.
-Poor baby!
Being sliced open is not fun.

Speaking from experience.

Have you been drinking?

No. I had a little wine.

But Gigi, I know what it's
like to lose a daughter.

So if this thing goes south,
just know I got you.

Listen, why don't
we just sit down, huh?

-I don't want to sit! I want to
help Gigi through her grief!
-Shh!

-We're ready for you, Mom.
-Thank you.

Where do you think
you're going?

-I'm coming with you.
-I'm good. Thank you.

That's what she do.
She ruins everything.

Please drink some water.

I'm just trying to help, Mama.

-[both chuckle]
-It's all gonna be okay.

Oh. She's on something,
I assume?

Mm-hm.
I'm on a lot of something.

Oh, congratulations.
[laughs]

-Do you want to pray, baby?
-No.

-I want to tell you a secret.
-Hm...

[whispers] Roberto
wants to marry me.

-He said that?
-Mm-hm. Yeah, today at lunch.

-He proposed to you?
-No.

But he apologized for
a fight we had the other night,

and said that he respects me
for setting boundaries
and he could see a future.

-[laughs]
-That's wonderful
he loves you like that,

-that you love each other.
-In a future!

-That's great.
-We're gonna get married,

with a big wedding
and a house

and a mailbox
and a puppy and kids and...

[phone vibrates]

Excuse me, can you tell me
where the chapel is?

-It's right down that hall,
to the right.
-Thank you.

So how's everything
going at your grandmother's?

It's fine, I guess.
I've been gaining weight

and it's only been,
like, a week.

-But thick is kinda in.
-You look great, honey.

Whatever. It's fine.
How's things going for you guys?

I bet it's nice and quiet
without the juvenile delinquent.

Now, why you
wanna act like that, huh?

You kicked me out of the house.

How else am I supposed to act?

Princess, you told us

you didn't wanna
live there anymore.

You know, this is why
I didn't want to talk.

You're always picking at me,
all the time.

-Hi. How's Sophia?
-She's in surgery now.

Okay.

Hey, honey.
How you doing?

Fantastic.
Early morning Bible study,
no TV, no computer.

You know, I'm turning into
a regular American Girl doll.

Wasn't that the plan?

If you want to come home,
come home. Okay?
You can come home.

I'll be good.

Y'all really
messed her up bad.

-Excuse me?
-Don't get mad.

You got Winkie. You could still
have at least one good kid.

-[laughs]
-Are you okay?

Why's everybody
asking me that? I'm fine.

Everybody need to chill.

Oh, come on! Hand it over!

Charity, what are you doing?

It won't let go
of my Whatchamacallit!

-Your what?
-My Whatchamacallit!

-My candy bar!
-Okay, here.
Let me get you another dollar.

What is the problem?

I'm getting ripped off!

You picked the wrong one!
Not today, honey!

Give me my candy bar!

-Charity. I don't know.
-Is she drunk?

It seems like it.
Charity, calm down.

-Charity, here's another dollar.
-I don't want more money!

I want what I deserve!
I want my candy bar!

[screams]

Oh, my God!

Can we get a nurse?

I'm gonna need stitches.

Somebody gonna need a lawyer.

-What is she on, did they say?
-Oxycodone.

Where did she get it?

-Leftover from her caesarean.
-Oh...

Look, Mae...

Look, these kids
need their parents.

I mean, Grace, Charity,

Jacob with this Zora mess.

They all need us.

What are you proposing,
James?

Please.

Let's put this behind us.

I wish I could.
But I don't see how.

I've reached a point
in my heart where going back

would be an act of disrespect
to God Himself.

I'm sorry.
I wish it could be another way.

But it's time to tell
the children, the church,
and move on.

[Charity] What happened?

[Mae] You got upset
about a candy bar.

James, you're not wrong.

These children do need
their mother, and their father.

But I don't think they'll
ever have their parents again.

-No, I can walk, Mama.
-All right.

Oh! My head hurts.

I'm sure it does.
I'm sure that's true.

[moans]

-[mumbles] Sorry, Mama.
-That's all right, baby.

James.

James!

[indistinct PA announcement]

[door opens]

Our Father,
Who art in Heaven,

-...hallowed...
-...hallowed be thy name.

[all] Thy kingdom come,
thy will be done,

on earth as it is in Heaven,

and give us this day
our daily bread,

forgive us our trespasses,

as we forgive those
who trespass against us.

Lead us not into temptation,

but deliver us from evil.

-[phone vibrates]
-[all continue praying]

Amen.

-[doctor] Mrs. Greenleaf?
-How did it go?

During the surgery,
we discovered the cause
of the torsion.

Sophia had dermoid cysts
on both ovaries.

-Is that a cancer?
-No.

They're typically benign
cysts that develop in utero.

They're kind of strange,

they can be full of strange
things like hair or teeth.

In Sophia's case, they had grown
quite large and were causing

significant organ displacement
and necrosis.

And once we removed them,
there wasn't enough healthy

tissue left
to preserve the ovaries.

So you...

-You took them out?
-We had no choice.

Oh...

She's not gonna
have children?

Not of her own.
I'm sorry.

Pastor, I have some papers here
that need your John Hancock.

All right.

-What is this?
-Oh, the same ol', same ol'.

Payroll approval
and purchase orders

for the streaming cameras,
blah, blah, blah.

All right.
You know, Tasha, if I haven't
said so enough already,

thank you so much
for stepping up around here.

Spent the night
in the hospital
with Sophia and Charity.

-Are they okay?
-Thankfully yes.

But, uh, I don't know.

Between Zora being a handful,

Kerissa stretched super thin
over at her school, and...

I mean, I don't know,
us trying to get
our streaming up and running,

it's just... it's just
super appreciated how
much help you've been.

-Oh, it ain't no thing.
-Oh, no. It is a thing.

And I told Craig not only to
turn up the heat in your office,

but if you ever... if you
ever ask for anything and
you don't get it immediately,

he's gonna be
looking for work.

-You did not have to do that.
-Oh, yes, I did.

You know why?
'Cause you're family.

-Thank you.
-Thank you.

Just... yep.

[sighs] All right.

[monitor beeping]

Mom?

Hey, honey.

Be careful. The nurse said
not to move too much. Okay?

Okay.

-You slept here all night?
-Of course I did.

I didn't want you to wake up
alone in some strange place.

Am I okay?

Ultimately, mm-hm.

You're gonna heal
from this surgery.

You'll be back to
your normal self very soon.

Then why do you
look so worried?

There was a complication,
sweetheart.

They had
to remove your ovaries.

What does that mean?

I can't have children?
Ever?

If you decide you want to be
a mama, you're gonna be a mama.

You have lots of options.
You can adopt...

Oh...

I know, I know.

I know it doesn't seem like it,
but it's gonna be okay.

God has got you.
God has got you.

You can lean on Him.

Why would He
let this happen?

Why?

I wish I had the answer.

-May I?
-Of course.

How can I be
of assistance?

Um...

It's not what I want,
but I hear you.

And having heard you,
and having prayed
on it myself,

well, I too now see...

...no choice.

-What's this?
-It's a draft of what I think we
should tell the church Sunday.

Feel free to make
any changes you see fit.

I trust your judgment.

And Mae...

...I'm sorry.

Please close the door
behind you.
