Sam!

Look, I don't know if you think
that you're driving me crazy

by not speaking to me all the
way from L.A., but I'm good.

I'm doing the right thing
by bringing you here.

You think your mother
was the only one

who believed in you,
but that's not true.

I'm your father.

I love you, and I want
what's best for you,

even if it might
not feel like...

Sam. Hey, baby.

- Oh. Oh. How are you?
- Hey.

It's good to see you. It's been a while.
-Thanks.

You, too, Larry.
Thanks for doing this.

That's what family's for, right?
-Mm-hmm.

- Yeah.
- Just like my baby sister.

Hey.

This is the best day of my life.

Everything's going to change.

My sister-cousin is here.

JESS [squeals]: Sam!

- Oh, boy.

Oh, my gosh. How was your drive?

I love your style.

Where'd you get
your jacket from?

- Is it vintage?
- Hmm?

It's happening.
- What's happening?

Us. I've always wanted a
sister, and here you are.

Well, we're cousins, Jess.

Cousins, sisters.
It's the South.

It doesn't even matter.

Your boobs look amazing.

I'm a "C" now.
What size are you?

I'm a "B."

Really?

- They look like a "C."
- Really?

It's the push-up.

I got to get one of those.

Are you going to Spelman?
You applied, right?

Let's get this inside, ladies.

I keep asking myself: What would
her mother do about all this?

- I miss her.
- Yeah, me, too.

It's been a year
since she passed.

But, you know, you did the right
thing getting Sam out of L.A.

But I can see she's a little
tense about being here, too.

But don't worry.
I'm a psychologist.

It's what I do.

- Let a pro handle it.

Careful with my floors.
Just had 'em waxed.

Okay.

Sam, why don't we
discuss why you're here.

I would love to, Uncle Larry.

- I really would.

My dad right here thought
it'd be a good idea

to kick me out of the house
and drop me off in the middle

- of this backwards-ass...

Please forgive me,
Auntie. The South.

- It's my life.
- Oh, let's talk about her life.

Let's talk about it.

She told me that she
wanted to take a gap year.

Now, do you know what that is?

'Cause I damn sure didn't know.

It's a year where
you don't do shit.

Oh, here we go again.

I was working on my music. I was being productive.
-Oh, no.

Promised me that she'd
apply to colleges.

Showed me filled-out
applications.

She never turned them in.

The devil's in the details.

Oh, yeah, and then
she got arrested.

- It was a misdemeanor.
- Oh, was it?

How many times do I have to tell
you André is my music producer?

Oh, so the studio got
raided for what, songs?

What, do you think
that I'm stupid?

Yes, I do. It's
written right there.

- Hey, hey, hey, hey. Time-out.

- Right there.
- You better watch your mouth.

Hey, hey, hey.
Time-out, time-out.

Why don't we just focus on
the positive here, all right?

There's no positive here.

- We've come up
with a plan. Mm-hmm.

- You want to tell them, baby?
- Yeah, babe.

Right, so you know I
work at Georgia State.

Well, I called in a few favors,

and they're willing to
admit you in the spring.

- Oh, my goodness, really?
- Yes.

I'm not going.

Well, [sighs] Sam,
just think about it.

You'd be near Jess at Spelman.

Maybe you two could even
get an apartment together.

Oh, no.

Jess could finally move out.

Put some of her masterpieces
on her own walls.

Painting is how I process grief

from my beloved
departed cat Cheddar.

Look, you are grown.

And I can't force you to stay.

Plus, I know you.

You gonna get your money up
and do what you want to anyway.

But I'm telling you, L.A. is
not for you right now, Sam.

Guess what.

You're not for me either.

Yeah.

- Sam, listen... Sam.
- Goodbye.

Whatever.

Um, where's my room?

It's upstairs. I'll show you.

I don't know why I did that.

Just go.

Sam, wait.

Welcome, welcome, sister-cousin.

This is my room,

but I want you to think of it
as one communal safe space.

Oh.

And the best part
is we are connected.

Think of this as a canal,

giving birth to our
cousin-sisterhood.

You play drums?

I'm sort of a
multitalented artist.

Drums aren't really my strength.

So, this is your room.

I put out some fresh flowers.

And there's a picture of
me and you with your mom

when we were kids. Remember?

Oh.

- Okay, I guess you're tired.

Okay, so I'll just go.

Good morning!

I made you coffee.

How many cups have you had?

One.

You know what? Three.

I'm getting better
about my coffee shame.

So...

I unpacked your stuff.

And I organized
all your clothes.

And all of your notebooks
are on the table now, see?

You are such a good writer.

You read my stuff?

Well, your notebooks
were, like, right there

- after I unzipped your bags.
- Huh?

So is that, like, songs or
do you write poetry or...

It's so beautiful.

Hmm, thanks. I'm a singer.

I write my own stuff.

You know I sing, right?

- No, I didn't know that, Jess.
- Three, two, one.

Oh.

That's just a little snack.

You'll get a full
meal at church today.

I'm on the praise team.

I don't do church.

- Sam.

Emotional support blanket.

I get it.

Mom and Dad asked
me to leave the room

when Uncle Darius called
about you moving here,

so I left and listened
from the hall.

You've done some thangs, huh?

Your testimony gonna
be the GOAT, girl.

- Wait, what are you doing?
- I'm going back to sleep, Jess.

- But it's Sunday.
- And?

This is Atlanta.

Sunday means church.

Well, God hasn't been
taking my requests,

so Sunday means nothing.

He's God, not Santa Claus.

Whatever.

- We're going to church.
- Who you think you talking to?

- You.
- Me?

"No weapon formed against
me shall prosper."

- What weapon?
- We are going to church.

- Now.
- I don't have church clothes.

You can borrow some of mine.

Here you go.

Auntie Liz, no, no, no, no, no.

Avocado toast is avocado
and toast. No gravy.

That just don't seem right.

Let's go. We're late.

You're not riding with us?

Gonna take Sam the scenic route.

Get her excited about
living in the A.

- Oh.

Good morning, baby.

Mm, morning.

Your dad said you're
not answering his calls.

I have nothing to
say to that man.

Does it ever stop?

LIZ and LARRY: No.

Is that for me?

Is there a concert?

That's church.

Okay.

This is promising.

Whoo!

Where are you going?

Oh, that's Champion Life.

That's not our
church. Girl, please.

Okay, okay, this next song

just went platinum,
from Atlanta's own TY.

Ay, and, brother, hit me with
an invitation to that party.

Jess, come on! That

- We're in the zone.
- What zone? Hmm?

There's a "no trap" rule
five blocks out from church.

You don't think God
heard it two blocks back?

I don't make the rules.

TY's the only thing
Atlanta has going for it.

You know I'm pulling
up to his house, right?

Larry ain't letting
you go to TY's house.

And that's on God.

Girl, I am grown.

Ain't nobody gonna be
telling me what to do,

not even Uncle Larry.

Hmm.

I thought we were
going to church.

This is it.

It used to be a warehouse
for an old oil factory,

- but it's our church now.
- Hmm.

Look at us, twinsies.

Oh, let's just take this
little thot knot out.

Oh, okay.

Body positivity. Love to see it.

You belong here.

So, this is our congregation.

Kind of small but
mighty, as you can tell.

They look fun.

Oh, yes. That's
the Party-Pulpit.

Ah.
- At the club on Saturday,

then turn up to church on Sunday
to get right with the Lord.

It smells like D'USSEÉ and
Black Milds over there.

Yeah. And who are they?

Our pastor, PG,
lets them skate here

when we're not in service.

And that's Jermaine.
He's a fire starter.

Oh, so he be getting turnt, huh?

Yes, and also he sets things
on fire and burns them down.

That was until PG stopped him.

Hey, PG.

Hey.

I am starting to
feel the spirit.

Hmm.

And who's that?

Oh, that's Aaron.

He used to be a big, you know,

marijuana cigarette
dealer here in Atlanta.

- Really?
- Then he suddenly

and mysteriously stopped and
gave his life to the Lord.

I'd leave that one alone.

Melissa, the daughter
of our big donor,

swears he's her soulmate.

I'm not one to gossip,

but she only came to this
church following him.

I don't know what he put on her,

but they call him Big
Love in the streets.

Big Love, huh?

Mm-hmm.
- Hmm.

That's her.

Hey, sis. God bless.

Hey, everyone.

This is my cousin-sister Sam.

She's from L.A.,
staying with me now.

Sam, this is Jackie
and Jermaine.

Hi, Sam. Nice to meet you.

The twins are oddly close,

- but they have a sixth sense.
- Hmm.

And that's KiKi.

KiKi! My cousin-sister Sam.

Okay, dang, Jess, calm down.

Hey, Sam.

- Hey, KiKi.

- What's up, Sam?
- Hmm.

Welcome to our church.
Welcome to Atlanta.

- It's nice to meet you.

I'm Melissa, captain
of the praise team.

- It's nice to meet you.

So, uh, what's it like?

Praise team?

Come and find out.

Maybe I will.

Let's go.

Nice to meet you, Sam.
Have a seat. Have several.

- Okay.
- I know that b...

Don't worry about her.
Just come and sit down.

Oh, I'm-a have a seat all right.

- If you love the Lord, say amen. Amen.
-

Can we make a joyful
noise in here, please?

- Yes.

Presence of the Lord
is here today. Amen?

- Amen. Yes. Amen.

Amen.

In a moment, we'll have a-a
number from our praise team,

but we're excited.

Slap your neighbor and
tell them you're excited.

I'm excited.

I'm excited.

We are excited...

- I'm excited. Okay. Oh.

'cause our praise team
is going to be performing

and competing at the national
championships again this year.

You guys must've
thought I lost faith

after what happened last year.

Not gonna lie.

I was shook.

But we're going back.

We have to.

We can't let fear
have the victory.

Just no cussing or big ol'
juicy metaphors, Aaron.

Won't do it.

And, Jess...

just try to stay conscious.

Thank you, Pastor.

As team captain, I
am excited to lead

and confident that God is going
to anoint my arrangements...

Mm.

And will bless us with victory.

Mm-hmm. Go ahead, girl.

'Cause it wasn't that

And that pastor, is he insane

to think that team is
gonna take home anything?

I mean, I'm no prophet,
but I can see the future,

and ain't no winning coming
from that shitty building.

Well, I wouldn't be so sure.

You know, God works in
some really shitty places.

You know, his son was
actually born in a barn.

Yeah, that is pretty
shitty. Them cows stank.

Um, Pastor Goodman,
this is our niece Sam.

She's staying with us now.

- Sam, welcome.
- Thank you.

And believe me, everything
is possible, okay?

For every giant,

Hmm, amen.

Hope to see you around.

All right, we better head out.

We'll see you
ladies at the house.

Sam, we got to run that again.

Not even if Jesus was on bass.

We'll see. We'll see.

Hey, remember, Big Love got you.

Bye, Big Love.

- The way he said, "I got you."
- Mm-hmm.

Yeah, there's something there.

Oh, definitely the Holy Spirit.

No, Jess.

No? Oh.

Mm.

Ready for it? Oh, I am ready.

It's coming your way.
- Okay.

Mmm.

Keep it coming. Keep it coming.

- There she is.

- Oh, that's so soft.
- Oh, that's beautiful.

Look at that. Yeah?

Oh, baby, you're
so good at that.

Ah, you know,

- I'm good at a lot of things.
- Yeah, you are.

You're a popular girl tonight.

Mm.

I'm sorry. Um,
it's a group text,

uh, about our praise
team practice tonight.

Oh. I thought you didn't
like singing with the team.

Oh, I actually... I really do.

Yeah, it was, uh, something...
What's his name, PJ... uh, PG...

PG. It was something
he said to me.

It really changed me, you
know? Like, deep, deep inside.

Oh, that's wonderful, Sam.

I know.

Jess, you didn't mention you had
praise team practice tonight.

I, uh...

I've just been so busy with Sam

and getting her settled and stuff.
-Yeah. Yeah.

Okay. And, Sam, you need to give

your dad a call back and let
him know Atlanta's working out.

Yes, yes. It really is.

It really is.

And speaking of working out, come here, baby.
-Mm-hmm.

Praise team practice.

Mm-hmm.

- You can imagine

what I'm gonna do to you.

- Y'all still here?
- Oh, we're going.

Okay, we're about to go up
in there, about to do this.

I'm about to meet him.
It's about to be great.

Lord, forgive me for
what I'm about to do.

Jess, calm down. What do you
think's gonna happen in there?

Look, things might
get crazy tonight.

I am wonderfully and
beautifully made.

And I didn't say that.
The Book of Psalms did.

You know what I mean?

- No, I don't know what you mean.
- You know what I mean.

Jess, just pull up
and let me talk.

- Damn.
- You know what I mean.

Jess, I don't know
what you mean.

Stop talking with
your little cat dress

and move forward, okay?

Hi.

- Y'all from the club?

Yeah, uh, Juan told
us to pull through.

Who's Juan?

Who your homegirl?

Hey, yo.

- What's up, daddy?
- What up?

- Hey, Shanice.
- What?

Oh, yeah, yeah, they're with us.

Mm-hmm. Look at God.

Mm, don't be weird.

There could be a
room full of baddies.

You still gonna be a weirdo.

Oh, my gosh.

We did it. We pulled it
off. This is it, girl.

Wait.

First and foremost, I'd
like to thank my fans

for helping me sell millions

and millions and
millions of records.

- Yeah!
- We did it.

- Yes, girl.
- This one's for you.

Next, I would like to
thank my cousin Jess...

- for being my ride or die

when I was at my
brokest in Atlanta.

Giving God the glory is
the center of my life.

When my dad forced
me to go out there,

and I didn't want
to go out there,

but he made me go out
there against my free will,

- and here I am, but look at me.
- Oh. Shh.

What you doing singing my song?

You know you like it.

I do.

Your voice is nice.

Thank you.

Why don't you come
down to the studio?

We'll mess around.

- I will.
- Hey. Police coming.

- 12! 12!

All right, time
to go, everybody!

We got to shut this down!

All right, all right.

Time to go home.

Party's over.

- We got to shut this down.
- Jess. Jess.

Disturbing the peace
call came over the radio.

Come on, man, you gonna
shut down my platinum party?

You live in this old bougie
neighborhood, young money.

Jess?

Jessica, I see you.

Come on. I'm gonna make
sure you get home tonight.

Okay, Officer Troy,

I know it looks like I'm
out here in these streets,

but really I'm out here on
these highway and byways

doing the Lord's work.

I mean, I just saved
two souls at the bar.

- Mm-hmm.

He caught us.

- Don't tell my dad.
- Let's go.

Uh, you, too, sparkles.

Hey, that's the singer's
jacket or the weirdo?

Think it's the one
with the voice.

Hey, appreciate it, Troy.

Thursday's session is on me, all right?
-Cool.

I'm ready to feel
all my feelings, man.

Hey, they're all valid.

- Be safe out there, all right?
- All right.

- Be safe out there, Mr. Troy.

This all could have gone really
bad if Troy wasn't there.

Maybe it was just
God's plan, Mom.

It's just a raid.
It's happened before.

- My misdemeanor, hello.
- Shh. Not helping.

Okay.

You know how we
feel about lying.

Yeah, we don't do
that in this house.

True. But, you know,
punishment is for the Lord.

Okay, that's Bible.

So maybe we should
just let him handle it.

I mean, who amongst
us has not sinned?

Everybody done sinned.
Even I know that.

- Can I get a amen?

Amen.

That's not funny.

See, we don't want any problems.

Neither do we.

Well, your actions
speak otherwise.

Since you lied about
joining the praise team,

why don't we make it the truth, huh?
-Mm.

- That was good, right?
- That's good, babe.

That's some creative
parenting right there.

What does that mean?

It means you're joining
the praise team.

I don't think I understand.

I think you do.

I don't even know
any gospel songs!

♪ Well, you better learn some.

- Hit that note, baby.

At least now you get to
join the praise team...

Jess.

- But we get to be together.
- Stop, stop, stop.

- Together forever.
- Now is n... Now is not the time.

Zip it.

Have you seen Sam?

I'm looking for her.

She said she'd never join our team.
-I'm right here.

Gather around, children.

Here is my arrangement
of "Break Every Chain."

It's top secret for
local competition,

- so guard it with your life.
- Damn.

KiKi, I just said
it was top secret.

No posting.

Oh, Sam could help.

- She writes songs.
- I could. It's easy.

How about you learn an
actual gospel song first?

Let's take it from the top.

KiKi, stop.

- You're doing too much.
- ♪ There is pow...

I'm just trying to add
some life up in here.

There's a lot of bondage
with all the chains.

Yeah, the chorus is the
strongest part of the song.

If we lose the rest and
tie up the loose ends,

it could be really special.

Wait, lose the
rest? Of a classic?

Where they do that at? Not here.

- It could be dope.
- Fall back, KiKi.

Everyone knows you
stay in the club.

- Wow.
- Now...

every team has their lane.

And our lane is
real church music.

Everyone remember what
happened last year

when we tried to switch lanes?

Jess crashed her face.

But there's an anointing
on my two front veneers.

- You didn't even know. True.

Oh, wow. They look really real.
-Personal space.

Nah, that was a dope
face-plant, though.

Shut up. Take it from the top.

I work later if y'all wanted
to stop by the Painted Duck

and grab some food.

- I'm in.

What's a Painted Duck?

DJ [over P.A.]: Ladies,
you're looking good tonight

in the Painted Duck.

Ay, we're gonna get this lit,

'cause this is Atlanta's
favorite place to be,

and I got the hits, y'all.

Wait, who that with
that tight shirt on?

Boy, put on a bra.

Oh, I know who that is! Hey!

Hey, church boy.
Hey, church boy.

What? What's up, man?

Oh, hey, I know you, now. Hey.

You can change your hair, but
you can't change your past.

That was... That's the old
me, man. That's the old me.

How about, everybody,

y'all just cover y'all ears,

because this song right
here is for the sinners.

It's about whatever
we say it's about.

So, what that supposed to mean?

It means my cousin can flip
any song you got for the Lord.

- Can you?
- No.

So, I guess your cousin can
turn water into wine, too.

If so, my red cup is
running low of Henny.

Fine. Play whatever.

O-Okay, okay. Let
me see what you got.

Hey, hey, hypocrite, come
get this mic right quick.

Where you at? Hey, you got
to tighten up your bra.

Hey, shut up, man.
There's hoes in here.

I'm just letting
you know I know...

I could freestyle, but
I don't know anything

about the Bible past
Sunday school with Mom.

Come on, Jess. You know this.

Just make it rhyme with "Jesus
Christ," and you'll be fine.

No! No!

Yo, Sam. We should
hang out after this.

I can give you a ride home.

Sure.

Just don't keep
her out too late.

Or fornicate.

And what does that mean?

You know just what
that means, Sam.

No. No. I don't think I do.

- Mm.

- Bye.

You said come hang
out, not help you work.

Friends help friends.

I don't have friends.

We'll see.

Sam, good job tonight.

Are you okay?

You seemed a little
emotional singing out there.

Me? Nah.

I've rocked bigger
rooms than that before.

But praise songs hit people's
heart a little different.

You're the number one
lady or something, right?

Yeah, you could say that.

- I'm the first lady.
- Huh.

Well, let me let you
in on a little secret.

I don't really have a
relationship with God.

I just know how to rhyme.

Mm-hmm.

Well, obviously, God has
a relationship with you.

- Mm-hmm.

I don't think so.

God used fish, donkeys, even
hoes to get his word across.

So don't think he
won't use you, too.

That's Bible.

Let's go get 'em at locals.

What's-what's going on?

I think she just called me a ho.

Uh, I mean... Nah.

Yeah.
-You get through regionals, you're invited to

the national championship, which
is where record labels scout.

Okay.
-So, first in the way, I'd say...

the Promise Ringtones.

The Promise Ringtones are
like if Beyoncé and Mary...

Mother of Jesus Mary, not the
one with the good knees...

Met at a beauty shop, got
their lives and edges together

and started a praise team.

Every time, worship slay.

What's the promise?

To not to have, you know...

S-E-X.

No sex?

They say it's the
vow of celibacy

that gives them perfect pitch.

Mm-mm.

Jess!

- Hi.
- Hi. -

Thank you.

You are so brave to show
your face when many think

your performance was so
disgraceful last year.

That's kingdom-building courage.

And on behalf of myself
and the Promise Ringtones,

we do not think you're
going straight to hell,

as some people have said.

That's Fallon.

a miracle on y'all this year?

Oh, no, thank you.

It's Sam. Get it right.

Right.

A bit of Christian advice.

Stay in your prayer closet,

'cause regionals ain't
gonna be so sweet.

So what happened to, "I
don't do that trash"?

Now you're okay with
twerking for the Lord?

And it ain't her first time.

do so good with Sam, right?

So I let you.

I lost everything, too.

- It just don't look like it.

If you don't help me, I'm-a
have to do this gospel thing

just so executives
can hear me sing.

And I really don't want to
do that. I really don't.

Gospel?

- That sounds terrible.
- Yeah.

Why do you think I'm here?

I don't know shit about
God or no church music.

Neither do I.

But that's the genius
part. I don't have to.

I can take any song... Hell,
I can take "Can't Help It"

and I can flip it into gospel.

"Can't Help It" is about getting
high and having sex in my Lambo.

What you talking about?

Not when I sing it.

You want to hear it?

A'ight.

But I'm not giving up
my good weed or my wine

'cause you singing about Jesus.

Now, come on.

My time ain't cheap.

This girl crazy
popping up in my house.

This is it.

Where all the magic happens.

Wow.

Uh, give me a second
to figure it out.

The song went platinum, now.

was saying about God.

Honestly, I don't really know.

My cousin's always like,

"Isaiah says look for
a sign from the Lord,

and everything's
gonna be all right."

Who's Isaiah?

I don't know. Some
dude in the Bible.

Well, I appreciate you coming
down here, being so annoying

and begging me to sing.

I wouldn't exactly
call it begging.

Uh, yeah, you was.

But you still helped
me out, though.

- It helped you?
- Yeah, it did.

How?
-When I come down here sometimes,

I lose inspo.

But when you say
everything a'ight,

you made me feel better.

Yeah.

Anyway...

I never thought I'd
hear myself say this,

but I think you should sing
my song at that church thing.

Huh?

Nah, nah, I was
just messing around.

Nah, you come here

Champion Life, first place.

Ringtones second.

Bechurch third.

If we had just kept
to what we rehearsed,

we'd be at nationals by now.

And you know we all thinking it.

The new track was dope,

but without practicing,
we just weren't ready.

I just panicked, all right?

Well, the Internet is
saying TY was there,

but he left in the
middle of our show.

Was that the same track from
that night at his studio?

I wasn't planning on using it.

You stole it?

How could you do
something like that?

I would never do
something like that.

I was trying to help
you all out, okay?

It wasn't about us, Sam.

All you do is whine about what
you want and what you deserve.

Would it kill you to show
the tiniest bit of gratitude

for what God has
already done for you?

Oh, my gosh, Jess. Shut up!

Me shut up? You shut
the hockey puck up.

You don't care if I find God,

so stop pretending
that you're all deep

like some young,
Black Baby Yoda!

Worship thyself not God, you do!

- Lies!
- Okay, at least I tried.

At least I'm not in some
delusional bubble in some house

drawing dead cats.

You ungrateful jackhole.

- I'm out!

Fine! Get the oyster
shuck on, then!

You get the oyster shuck on!

And by the way, Cheddar
was not just a dead cat.

She was my emotional
support animal!

You are not my
sister-cousin anymore!

So, what are you doing here?

I could be asking you the
same thing, first lady.

Well, um, I'm grown.

And this is my place.

Yeah. Natalie, that's-that's me.

What's your excuse?

I didn't want to go home.

The team is in their feelings
because I switched up the music.

So the new music was your idea?

Mm-hmm. [sighs] Yeah.

And I kind of stole
it from somebody

who was gonna help me get
my music career going.

He was there.

And we lost anyways.

No fun in sinning
and not winning, huh?

Mm. Who you telling?

But you're a singer for real.

Why aren't you running
things every Sunday?

Ooh, that, um,
that used to be me.

Yeah. Back in the day,
it was all about me.

What I could receive.

The money, the fame,
the attention, the men.

That was before PG.

- Okay.
- Okay.

But, you know, praise,
it... it works different.

And it hits people different.

You were right.

The other night when
I sang at the arcade,

you said I looked
like I was scared.

I felt like a fraud, you know?

Singing about having
faith and trusting God.

When my mom died, I
stopped talking to God.

He wasn't listening,
so I stopped.

You know, God, he
doesn't promise

we'll get everything we want.

Life is going to do life, hon.

You'll have some wins and
you'll have some losses.

But God promises
to always be there.

- I am not so sure about that.
- Yeah.

You know what? That's okay.

But guess what.

Of all the lounges,
you strolled into mine.

Look, I get it. I do.

Sometimes life can go so wrong
that you have to really sit down

and think, "What's good?"

I mean, "What's really good?"

- You know?
- Yeah.

But you got to count
your blessings, okay?

That's where it starts.

And that's praise.

- Thank you.
- All right.

I'm sorry.

Me, too.

- Love you.
- Love you.

- Oh.

Hello.

Oh, hi, PG.

What?

Yes. I'll be right there.

Sam!

Sam?

TY?

TY, if you could just
let me in to explain.

Go away. He don't
want to talk to you.

TY, I'm sorry, okay? I'm sorry.

You trusted me, and I blew it.

Hang up on her, man.

I'll try not to take
too much of y'all time.

Evidently, the Promise
Ringtones' church

will not allow Kelly
to sing, and, uh,

the rest of the Ringtones
will not compete without her.

Wait, what happened?

There's a tape.

Uh, apparently Kelly and one
of the guys from church...

Oh, tea! A sex tape?

- KiKi.
- You right, PG.

I'm-a mind my own business,
but I'm-a start tomorrow.

Thank you.

So, according to
their church rules,

Kelly is not allowed to
perform with the team.

That's not how we
roll here, okay?

That's their church rules.

So, you have been
invited to nationals.

Sam.

Did you get my message?

Yeah. Uh...

I'm sorry to hear about Kelly.

She was really nice to us.

So what do you think
about competing?

You guys still want
me on the team?

- Duh. -Of course.
- Duh.

Of course.
- AARON [chuckles]: Yeah.

I ever tell y'all how
I became a pastor?

- Mm-mm.
- No.

I stole the wrong car.

- What? -

Or the right one, depending
on how you look at it.

I stole a car that belonged
to a pastor, and I got caught.

In exchange for not
pressing charges,

he made me come to his
service every Sunday

for the next three
months straight.

- Oh, wow.
- Mm-hmm.

Now, that first Sunday was
my first time at church ever.

But I knew that my life was
gonna change from that day on.

You see, all of us, no matter
what, we're gonna fail.

We're gonna mess up.
We're gonna make mistakes.

All of that. So what?

Get over it.

Just keep going no matter what.

Your story ain't over.

All right.

Y'all let me know
what y'all want to do.

It's on y'all.

- Bye.
- All right, Peeg.

Okay, before you guys say
anything, I would feel

a lot better if I could just say

a few things that
I'm grateful for.

- Go ahead. Oh, I
got to hear this.

So, in no particular order,

as Usher would say...

♪ These are my confessions.

First of all, I
can't judge Kelly

because the footage that
is out there on me... whew!

Damn.

And I know God has covered
a pregnancy stick or two,

- because when I say...
- Mm-hmm.

Your girl has been reckless,
she has been reckless.

Come on, now.

And that night that I
blacked out off the D'USSEÉ

and the car got me home...

Jesus.

To this day, I still
don't know how.

But now I know it was you, God.
I know it. I feel it. I know it.

Told you that D'USSEÉ do that.

D'USSEÉ be testing our faith.

Won't he do it?

And do, and do.

My mom had this
wild faith in me.

And in God, too.

And I'm beginning to
see how it all connects,

how God loves us and
how we love each other.

And I didn't understand that

until I came here and I met
some really cool people.

Aw.

Who I know will
always have my back.

You know it. We got you.

And I'll always have yours.

I knew your testimony
was gonna hit different.

Whew. Okay.

- Guys, if we're confessing...
- All right.

Um, [sighs] after, you know,
I got all those IG followers

after Sam sang at
the Painted Duck...

Mm-hmm.
-...um, I may have gotten carried away

and opened a OnlyFans.

- OnlyFans?
- That's how I got this watch.

What's the at name on that?
I-I want to see if it's...

You telling the truth,
see it's really you.

I closed it down.

Now, anybody else got
something to confess?

Y'all ain't gonna
believe this, but, um...

I never stopped selling weed.

- We know. Everybody knows.
- Okay. -Yeah, everybody knows.

- Y'all knew? Okay.
- I didn't know.

Yeah, it's over
now. You know, uh...

Well, it is this one dude.
I still got to serve him.

But after that, I'm done.

It's just on some
street stuff with him.

And I'm dating somebody
from Champion Life.

What?
- -Traitor.

Okay, okay.

Now it makes sense why
you friend-zoned me.

And me.

Jess, I... Come on. Now, that...

Baby. Melissa finds
out that your true boo

is standing right beside her at Champion Life... ha!
-Ooh.

- Your tires gonna get slashed.

do about finals?

Did you hear about

No. What?

Sex tape.

- What?
- Mm-hmm.

No.

Now they won't let her compete.

- What?

Now, if they sat me down
every time I did a sex...

Oh, no. No, no.

- Shh, shh. No.
- I mean...

- Okay, I'm just saying.

Hey, PG.
- What's up, man?

Good luck, Pastor.
- Thank you.

Oh, look who showed up.

The Chevron reverend himself.

Hey, man.

You know what's funny about God?

You with the Oil Factory

and y'all had just enough
fuel to make it to finals.

- God got a sense of humor.

I tell you what.

Funny.

Hey, man.

- Okay.
- Bruh.

I owe you something?

What you talking about, brother?

Like, I mean, Jesus
paid the price.

But you still acting
like I owe you something.

So what's up?

Take your foot off
the gas a little bit.

We're just two
brothers, you know.

- Foot off the gas.
- Right.

Hey, and-and I know
you a bishop, right?

So you understand that the

Wow.

I hope you're not mad I'm here.

The way we left things last
time at your aunt and uncle's.

I'm not mad.

I'm actually happy you're here.

Yeah, um...

I came here to bring you this.

What is it?

Larry told me about you singing.

He said it was
some church thing,

but that didn't sound right.

Like, Sam in church, um...

Reminded me of this.

Your mom wanted you
to have it someday.

I remember this.

She would wear it all the time.

Here, let me help.

Look, I am so proud of you.

And...

And I know she would be, too.

- Thank you, Dad.
- No, no, no. Don't cry.

All right? You look beautiful.

I did not want to upset
you. I'm gonna just, uh...

Dad, I'm not upset.

You being here is
actually a sign

that everything's gonna be okay.

And that Mom is still with us.

Dad, you're my blessing.

Oh, what is happening down here?

Here.

All right, sweetie.

- Just please stop crying.

Yo, Sam. It's time.

Okay.

Um, go get your
seat and everything.

You can't come all
this way and miss it.

- Yeah, um...
- Okay.

- I love you.
- I love you, too.

You left this at the house.

From the night we first met.

I was looking for this.

I was gonna give it back

until you walked in my
house and finessed me.

And now?

I don't know.

I'm here.

I know I don't deserve
you coming here.

Most definitely don't.

But I'm actually really grateful

for the chance to
say that I'm sorry.

TY, I am really, really sorry

for betraying you
and your trust.

You didn't deserve that.

Maybe we could start over?

Not about the music
but as friends?

Not so fast. You
still owe me, now.

Even I know "Thou
shalt not steal."

Facts.

So let's just start with a song.

You want us to work together?

All right, we better head out.

I'll be in touch.

Touch.

Okay.

Did he ask about me?

You were all he
could talk about.

I knew it.

Mm.

God is good. God is good.

- Yes.
- Whoo!

Don't you just feel that?

Like, the spirit, it's, like...
It's overtaking me, you know?

- We're not doing that right now.
- It's the Holy Spirit.

- No.
- It's activating.

Jess, we're not
activating right now.

I just... I got to let it out.
