- Previously on Star...
- You married Angel?

- Is this true?
- So she's not gay.

- Are you kidding me?
- You need to stop.

RUBY: How long has this been happening?

- DEREK: Since the showcase.
- I'm gonna get you a new therapist.

CARLOTTA: Did you sleep here?

Yeah. In the RV with Noah.

Andy and Angel, you're starting the tour

- with Midtown's top song.
- Looks like we're winning.

How are those two idiots on top?

I fought for Sound
House to back this tour.

I fought for you, Noah.

But, ultimately, my company
sees you as a risk.

The girls are hyped up about
landing an A-list promoter.

They want to meet with the
talent to get a feel for 'em.

CARLOTTA: I don't care
what Sound House says.

Charles has got to be
impressed with this crowd.

It was all your idea.

I'm sorry, babe, we got about
one more hour before we open.

I'm actually looking for someone.

My son's father, Arnold.

Arnold's not here no more.

- ? I get it how I live it ?
- ? Wait a minute ?

- ? I live it how I get it ?
- ? What? ?

? Count the... digits ?

I can't believe you convinced me

to do this.

[CHUCKLES]

I'm drunk. Are you drunk?

Hey.

So, I want a big ass star

'cause my name is S-Star.

Yeah, bitch, you drunk.

[LAUGHS]

- ? The Veyron glide ?
- ? Wait a minute ?

? Tell the paparazzi
get the lens right... ?

I'm a daddy.

? Wait a minute ?

? Got the hazards on, only doin' five ?

STAR: Hey, bro.

Focus on sketching stars or something.

Yeah.

What am I gonna tell Mama?

You're not gonna tell her.

I'm not ready for this.

Girl, life don't care
what we're ready for.

It just keep coming at us,
and we got to roll with it.

Tuck and roll. Tuck and roll.

Tuck and roll.

Y'all want some whiskey?

We don't look drunk enough to you?

I'm just saying. Most people
scream when this needle hits.

Nah, we not most people. [CHUCKLES]

? I bring me ?

? Get mine, 'bout mine, go hard ?

? Looking for another like me ?

? Boy, stop ?

? I bring me ?

? Whose love is the tightest? ?

? Whose kiss is the nicest? ?

? Me ?

? Whose touch is the rightest? ?

? Me ?

? I bring, I bring me. ?

? Everybody ?

? Loves a lover ?

? I'm a lover ?

? Everybody loves me... ?

ANDY: Listen, there's people
that you don't even know about

that I study. Troy Carter,
Irving Azoff. These people...

The point is, you have been
lying to us the whole time.

I haven't been lying to you. I'm
still in the internship program.

I'm just switching my focus.

I want to be a artist and an executive.

You can end up like Dr. Dre,

you can end up like Jay-Z,
you know. All these people...

I never understood why-why-why
they call him doctor.

I mean, does he have a PhD?

Are you serious?

Sweetie, oh, we love you. You know that.

We want you to be happy, but...

Well, then support my decision, Mom.

MR. SMITH: Oh, so, we-we're

supposed to keep letting
you live at home,

paying your car note, while
you chase the spotlight, right?

That's not what we paid for, Andy.

What did you pay for?

Just because you adopted
me when no one else would,

I'm your puppet now?

You are supposed to take
it... every advantage

that we gave you, despite...

Despite what?

Being black?

I didn't say that, Andy.

You never actually say it.

If you want to continue

chasing your dream,

we're gonna support you. Hmm?

Just as long as you hang
on to the internship.

You don't think I can
make it as an artist.

[SIGHS]

- Yes, sir.
- Would you put the phone down

so I can finish cutting your hair, man?

Baby, this is business.

Charles Floyd is pissed that we
lost that deal with Sound House.

Now, this regional tour better
bank in some real bread.

Well, you said the promoter
can get us there, right?

So Charles Floyd can kiss my ass.

Nobody should treat his
daughter the way he did.

Well, Natalie will handle
it. We go way back.

- Natalie?
- The regional promoter.

CASSIE: Hey, hey, hey.

Cassie is in the building, honey.

Ooh, well, behold old classy Cassie.

Mmm, mmm.

Man, what's going on with
you and this new look?

Well, I got me some new
business opportunities.

CARLOTTA: Oh, Lord.
Don't tell me nothing.

I don't want to have to
testify against you in court.

Hello to you, too, Lottie. Ooh.

Does, uh, black McDreamy got a name?

CARLOTTA: Yeah, it's Maurice.

And that's my man, so back it up.

Okay. Maurice. [SCOFFS]

Mm-hmm.

Why you cheesin'?

- Yo, she's funny.
- Thank you.

Mm-hmm.

But she ain't got nothing on you, boo.

Mm-hmm, mm-hmm, mm-hmm.

Thanks for the lineup.

- You're welcome.
- I got to go introduce

- Natalie to the artists.
- Okay.

Keep an eye on the girls
for me, will you?

Yeah. I'm good?

- Yeah, you're good, baby.
- All right, baby.

- Okay.
- All right, y'all be good.

- MISS BRUCE: All right.
- [CHUCKLES]

? Ooh, wee, ooh, wee. ?

- MISS BRUCE: Girl.
- ? Ooh, no. ?

Time to wake up, rap star.

Good morning.

This is how you make your love songs?

With your shirt unbuttoned like this.

- Abs all out.
- Yes, yes. This is how I do it.

All right? Trying to get it in.

Got heat off of this DJ Khaled record.

I need to finish this album.

I wrote, like, seven songs last night.

- That's so good.
- Yes, it is. Thank you.

Now eat.

You got me food? What?

Just a little somethin' somethin'.

What's this? Oh, snap.

Hold up, man.

Let me post how good my bae is.

Hold up. She's so sweet.

- Bae?
- [CAMERA CLICKING]

- [SIGHS] You don't like "bae"?
- No.

You know Star ain't mad.
She's cool with us.

Come on, tell me what's going on.

She's family. And...

I've been making a lot
of mistakes lately.

Wait, am I a mistake?

- I didn't say that.
- It feels like it, though.

- I'm happy, okay?
- Good.

Give me some kisses with your fine ass.

- [CHUCKLES]
- Yeah.

Bring it in. Mmm.

ANGEL: Yo, you got to calm down, man.

Okay? You're not the only
one with messed up parents.

My parents are white. Have you seen me?

Yeah.

I'm the only black
person that they know.

Do you know how that feels?

So, what you're telling
me, you grew up with

no black culture whatsoever?

I listened to music.

Natalie Cole, Sammy
Davis Jr., James Brown.

These are the people that I
learned my culture from.

- Who's Sammy Davis Jr.?
- Are you kidding me right now?

Hey.

Where's mine?

I ain't your wife.

Well, you're barely his.

- Oh, my God.
- [CHUCKLES]

That looks like lust and depression.

Who's Samuel Davis Jr.?

No favors. I want my money.

All of it.

200 thou.

No. And my mama don't need to know.

All right. Peace.

[CLEARS THROAT]

Don't worry.

I know not to repeat what I just heard.

You are smart and cute.

Who the hell is you?

I'm Andy.

So, what do you do?

I'm trying to be a
singer over at Midtown.

Well, maybe we should get a drink.

Maybe you can sing me something.

I'm sorry, ma'am...

Did you just call me "ma'am"?

Too thirsty.

But are you hungry?

[OVERLAPPING CHATTER]

All right, guys.

- Guys.
- [CHATTER STOPS]

Thank you.

Meet Natalie Knight. CEO
of Knight Universe.

She's the top promoter in the southeast.

- SIMONE: Natalie.
- Nice to meet you guys. Yes?

You're really pretty.

Thank you.

So we lost Sound House and we got her?

What you got is someone who knows

how to break artists to new audiences.

You guys have Atlanta on lock, right?

- They love us.
- That's great.

But, see, for where you want to go,

it's gonna require so much more.

- Like what?
- I got you guys a gig

performing at Tallahassee A&M U.

STAR: Oh, cool.

I know the U's for "university."
What's the A&M for?

ANDY: Tallahassee Agricultural
and Mechanical University.

It's only the most
important and historical

black college in the country.

Very good.

STAR: I'm sorry, I don't
memorize the acronyms

for colleges for fun.

I mean, you slept with
enough black dudes.

You could be alumni.

NATALIE: So, the plan is, I'll
get with your management,

set up some events before the concert.

Then we'll put together an after-party

with one of the hottest DJs in the city

and make you guys look real good.

So, th-this is what my career's
come to? I'm doing colleges now.

Because if you're on the team,

that means you have to
take a hit for them.

And the rest of you

need to establish a fan base

with the college kids on this campus.

Landing the college audience
is key to your careers.

It's gonna be a true
indicator of success.

I need to see if you
guys have what it takes.

ANDY: Oh, we got what it takes.

And you better believe, when
me and Angel hit that stage,

there's gonna be panties
flying everywhere.

If they can see your tiny
ass from the audience.

- That's what I'm saying.
- Wow. Maybe if you moved

them tig ol' bitties out the way,

somebody can see something.

Did you save up your
money to get those done?

NATALIE: Whatever act gets
the most heat on the campus,

you could be the next big thing.

You never know what could
happen in a weekend.

MAURICE: All right. Y'all are done.

NATALIE: It's nice meeting all of you.

- Pleasure.
- Isn't he adorable?

Tough crowd.

Yeah. Look, I hope
you're right about this.

- This whole tour is on my shoulders.
- Whoa.

Stop whining.

This is why I broke up with your ass.

I got this.

Hey. Uh, uh, come in. You...

Can I get you anything?

Nah, I'm good.

So, what, you Arnold's
girlfriend or something?

'Cause I'm not trying to get with him.

I just want him to meet his son.

You always did have a
mouth on you, Kish.

Who are you?

I'm Arnold.

Look, I am not in the
mood for games, Miss.

So where is he?

He's here.

[SIGHS]

What the hell did you go and
do to yourself, Arnold?

How you just gonna pop up
here and drop this on me

and not even have the decency
to tell me his name?

Jaden.

And he wants to meet his father,

not whatever you are.

[DOOR SLAMS]

[CAMERA CLICKS]

Got it? Thank you.

Ah, Miss Carlotta. Just the
woman I was looking for.

So, what time are we rolling
out to Tallahassee tomorrow?

I hear you think this is beneath you.

- No.
- It's not.

It's a smart move.

- 5:00 a.m., we out.
- No, I-I get it. I get it.

- Teamwork makes the dream work.
- All right.

All right? Just let me know what
Natalie's trying to pay me.

I need three. All right?

I'm trying to get some equipment
so I can record on the road.

- All right, I got you.
- Please.

You know, you've been grinding
pretty steady lately.

- When am I gonna hear something?
- Well, you get that money up,

and we can kind of have a conversation.

I'm gonna get that money up,

so you better have that music ready.

I got you.

It's fire, too. It's like blazing fire.

Give me something to work with.

- Have it ready.
- What's up, man?

Hey, so... Uh, what's
this I hear about, uh,

some college gig in Tallahassee?

Oh, the promoter thinks
it'll be good for exposure.

- What, you're just hearing about it?
- What? [SCOFFS] Nah.

I've been knowing about
it. Yeah, I just...

- I've been taking care of some stuff.
- Mm-mm.

You slippin', Jahil. [CHUCKLES]

You're getting too old for this, huh?

- [SCOFFS] You ain't so young yourself.
- Mm-hmm.

You could still get it, though.

Don't. Don't. Don't even.

[CLICKING TONGUE]

Right back at you.

Here you go.

Here we go.

Aw. I'm so proud of you.

Don't look at me like that.

Why not?

- Because.
- 'Cause why?

- 'Cause...
- [BOTH LAUGH]

This what I'm paying for, now?

- [CLEARS THROAT]
- What happened to knocking?

You used to knock when Alex was here.

Alex was your girlfriend. This one here

is supposed to be helping you walk.

Not get your freak on.

You know what? I'm-I'm gonna go.

Yeah, you do that.

- [HUFFS]
- DEREK: We're gonna do dinner still, right?

Yeah.

Dinner?

Yes, dinner.

- For all the extra PT work.
- [SCOFFS]

Oh, what is she, Mexican?

And what if she is? Grandma,
what's wrong with you?

I thought you were supposed to
be staying over at Bo's tonight.

Can't you go back over
there, or something?

This is my house.

I come back from Bo's
when I damn well please.

Ha.

Fine. Go ahead.

Guess I'll have to put
up with your snoring.

When I find my hustle, I'm
getting the hell up out of here.

I promise.

I know you're tired of seeing me.

I'm tired of seeing you, too.

Good night.

You ungrateful

bastard.

Do that.

Yeah.

I mean, to finally work with

- a female promoter?
- [LAUGHS]

It wasn't like that for me
back with Mixed Harmony.

Ah, well, it's still a boy's game.

Maurice says good things about you.

[CHUCKLES] Mo's got to say that.

I know all his dirt. [CHUCKLES]

So... About Noah doing a
walk-through tonight.

What kind of number you have in mind?

Zero. Shorty Black is the
hottest DJ in Florida.

So, if he likes your artists,
he'll get them played

in the clubs and in all the
colleges in the state.

I understand Noah is
still on the comeback,

but he's still got a name
that pulls an audience.

And yet, Sound House passed on him.

I mean, isn't that why I'm here?

I'm not letting my artist do a
walk-through for less than $5K.

And I'll be sure to let Maurice
know you're trying to play us.

Okay, first of all, no one
is trying to play you.

Maurice knows that I
keep my budgets tight.

I hire students to
work the campus shows,

and I don't pay artists big-ass fees.

And just so you know,
bringing up his name

is not gonna help you.

I mean, unless you guys
have something going on.

I don't need Maurice
to fight my battles.

I just need you to live up
to the rep that he gave you.

[NATALIE CHUCKLES]

Okay.

Fine.

Noah will get his money.

And you can tell Maurice
that I came correct,

'cause I know he goes after
women that he works with.

It's good, ain't it?

See you on the tour.

You ever thought about going to college?

- You're not going to college.
- I never said I was.

- All right.
- I was just asking.

You're not going.

[KNOCKS]

Hey.

Carlotta didn't feel like

picking me up at Noah's in the
morning, so I'm staying here.

Look, can we get to the
part where you're like,

"It just happened."

And then you're like,

"It doesn't matter. We need
to focus on the group."

- Funny.
- STAR: I hate you.

SIMONE: Or we could talk about, like,

me doing it with Angel.

Doing what?

Doing it with Angel?

Just-just uh... sex, okay?

- STAR: You can't have sex with him.
- [LAUGHS]

You just met him.

Girl, I'm married.

That's true. She's married.

Oh, what, so, 'cause I'm a whore,

I don't get to have an opinion
about my little sister?

No, no, no. You a... you a ho.

[LAUGHTER]

We got a long day tomorrow;
y'all better shut it down soon.

We got to get down there
and get ahead of the game.

Wait, Andy and Angel are
already in Tallahassee.

- What are you talking about?
- What?

Look at this.

We down here at Tally A&M!

[WHOOPING]

Yeah!

We're about to show y'all
who the real artists

that run Midtown are. You know,

forget old man Noah.

Forget Take Three.

ALEXANDRA: They're already at it.

And, of course, throwing shade.

- We need to get to Florida.
- Right now.

? Hello, hey, baby, what's your name? ?

? I am Buddy, only reason why you came ?

? Okay, today me and you
gonna do our thing... ?

[INDISTINCT CHATTER]

Okay, great.

Wow. Finally got into
college, guys. Feels good.

[WOMAN WHOOPS]

- STAR: Steppers.
- SIMONE: We should watch this.

Oh, my God.

[WHOOPING IN UNISON]

[CHANTING]: D. Phi T.

- D. Phi in the house, baby!
- D. Phi T.

D. Phi T.

- WOMAN: Showtime!
- ? We came here to show you ?

? How we break this ish on down ?

? To the ground ?

? Show... ?

Tighten up!

? If you want some, come and get some ?

? If you want some, come get some ?

? Delta Phi, Delta Phi ?

- D. Phi T! D. Phi T!
- ? Delta Phi, Delta Phi... ?

[CHANTING IN UNISON]

Look at her right there, she's so dope.

- [WHOOPING IN UNISON]
- D. Phi T!

Ah, ha!

- Yes!
- [WHOOPS]

Wow.

STAR: I would totally go
to a sorority for that.

Star, isn't that your friend?

ALEXANDRA: Oh, oh, my God, he's so fine,

and he's taking his shirt off.

I can't even look at him. Go.

- STAR: No, don't make me do that.
- ALEXANDRA: Go.

Why do you do this to me? Ugh.

? The world with your money... ?

[SIGHS]

What are you doing here?

You're not happy to see me?

Maurice said he needed a roadie.

I, uh, needed the money.

But I was hoping this would give me

a chance to maybe take you out again.

Maybe not drunk. And we could talk.

Normally, I would find
somewhere inside to take you,

and nail you to one of the walls

and make your head spin around
like the little girl from

The Exorcist, but I don't
have time for that right now.

'Cause I'm on tour.

And I need to focus.

So, just stay out of my way today.

? Not your ordinary bad girl
with the blonde, curly... ?

CARLOTTA: Natalie says Fridays

on the quad is supposed to be lit,

so let's try to meet as
many students as we can.

- Wow. Two.
- Yeah, Miss C, I was hoping

- that we'd have more fans than this.
- Don't worry about

the ones who aren't here,
worry about the ones who are.

- TAMMI: Hi.
- Hey.

- Can we get a quick pic?
- STAR: Yes, of course.

Oh, your song, "You
Don't Know Me, Girl,"

that is my song.

- Oh, my God!
- SIMONE: Oh! [LAUGHS]

Your part is everything.

Well, Alex knows how to
make me sound good, so...

Oh, you do produce, don't you?

That's how you met fine-ass Noah.

Speaking of him, is he gonna be here?

Like, he coming to the show?

- Uh...
- You don't need to know.

WOMAN: It's Noah!

MAN: Noah Brooks in the house!

STAR: What is he doing?
He's supposed to be inside.

Excuse me... Noah.

- Noah, hey.
- 'Sup? What's up?

- TAMMI: How you doing?
- NOAH: What's up, how you doing?

Wearing the same colors as me.

- Is that right? Yeah.
- [LAUGHS]

Look, I know you saw my DM.

- Um...
- @TallahasseeTammi.

- I'm not sure.
- You're not sure?

So, uh... [LAUGHS]

I need to remind you?

Oh, oh, you got to chill,
baby, you got to chill.

Hey, little bitch, move.

- CARLOTTA: Oh, my God.
- NOAH: Wait... Star...

- You think I'm playing with you?
- You...

are coming over here.

- CARLOTTA: Keep it classy.
- Star.

Please don't hit a student.

What are you doing?

- I'm here to support my baby.
- Look.

I just think you're stealing a
lot of our shine right now,

and I think it's best if you go.

I didn't have nothing to
do with that, come on.

Are you serious?

Yes.

All right.

Good-bye.

? ?

I got a real good hand, yes.

- Cassie.
- What?

So you just gonna sit in the
salon and play loud-ass games?

Relax, Miss Bruce. Damn.

Don't start no trouble.

Look, ladies, I'm gonna
be right back, okay?

- Ooh, yeah.
- All right, hurry back.

Miss Bruce, life is got.

I got me a new hustle without my mama,

and you know what? I want you in on it.

I got a connect on some quality pills,

and I need somebody I can trust

to help me move it out of the salon.

Bitch, ain't no such thing as no
40-year-old rookie drug dealer.

Now, I thought you was ready
to make some real money.

I mean, ain't that what
the butt shots was for?

Come on.

Look, I'm not about to
risk this with Carlotta.

I just got back on her good side.

[GRUNTS]

You sound ridiculous.

CASSIE: Hey, niece.

- Hey, T.
- You look so pretty.

- How are you?
- Good.

How'd it go with your baby mama?

[MOUTHS]

- Her who?
- Really?

Well, bitch, you ain't said
nothing about not telling

your auntie.

When was you ever with a woman, Cott?

Seven years ago.

So we got family out there?

Yes, could you keep your voice down?

No.

A son.

And his mama's tripping so bad,

I don't even know if I'm
gonna be able to meet him.

What you mean? Girl, I will call
one of our cousins right now,

- and you gonna get to see your son tonight.
- No. No.

Please, could you just let
me handle this for once?

You better handle it, Cotton.

I mean it. Stop being a
little bitch and man up.

I ought to beat your ass.

You gonna tell her to stop
being a bitch and man up?

Damn. You right.

So out of order.

ANDY: Oh, my God.

You see all these beautiful
black women over here?

I definitely should've went to a HBCU.

Man, don't tell me your mad that
your parents put you in Harvard.

- Come on.
- I'm not mad,

but you don't get this at Harvard.

Yo, what the...?

[CAMERA CLICKS]

JAHIL: Hey, how you guys doing?

Not as good as Take Three's doing.

- Look at that.
- JAHIL: Look, you want your music bumping

at all the parties on the
college circuit, right?

ANGEL: Andy!

ANDY: Hey, I'm gonna put
our music on real quick.

Yo!

I thought I was in Tallahassee
at Tally A&M, baby.

[CHEERING]

Yeah, listen, I'm Andy.

My brother over there, that's Angel,

and we came down here to
give y'all the flyest

y'all ever heard.

Y'all coming to the show?

[STUDENTS CHEERING]

You're gonna see us tonight?

[CHEERING]

You and El DeBarge got two
seconds to get out of here.

I'm not playing anymore.

Don't worry.

I'll leave some fans for you.

You're really delusional.

Nobody's worried about Ayanna's
leftover pet project, Andy.

You steal our shine 'cause you feel

like you don't have any of your own.

You're an intern.

And you steal our culture
because you have

none of your own.

You're mad at me because
you feel out of place,

and I feel comfortable.

That's not my problem.

Don't be mad at me because
you don't know who you are.

? ?

MR. SMITH: That's not
what we paid for, Andy.

STAR: Don't be mad at me because
you don't know who you are.

ANDY: ? Oh ?

? Lightning only sparks my freedom ?

? Broken only makes me whole ?

? Everybody gotta fight their demons ?

? Everybody gotta face that truth ?

? That our time won't last forever ?

? There's a reason God made you you ?

? Through all the hard ?

? Through the pain ?

? Lonely nights ?

? Through the shame ?

? 'Cause the start of the change is ?

? In your DNA, yeah, yeah ?

- ? It's written in your blood ?
- ? Yeah ?

- ? Blood ?
- ? Yeah ?

- ? Blood, your blood ?
- ? Yeah ?

? Before the roof on the
world was started ?

? You were gonna be somebody ?

? Your blood ?

- ? Yeah ?
- ? Your blood ?

- ? Yeah, yeah ?
- ? Your blood ?

- ? Your blood ?
- ? So ?

? As long as there's a
beat where your heart is ?

? You are gonna be somebody ?

MARTIN LUTHER KING JR: We are
able to say to ourselves now

that we do count.

I want to say to everybody
under the sound

of my voice this afternoon

that you are somebody.

Don't let anybody make you feel

that you are nobody.

You are somebody.

You have dignity. You have worth.

Don't be ashamed of yourself

and don't be ashamed

of your heritage.

Don't be ashamed of your color.

Don't be ashamed of your hair.

I am black and beautiful

and not ashamed to say it.

[APPLAUSE]

- ? It's written in your blood ?
- ? Yeah ?

- ? Blood ?
- ? Yeah ?

- ? Your blood ?
- ? Yeah ?

- ? Your blood ?
- ? So ?

? As long as there's a
beat where your heart is ?

? You are gonna be somebody... ?

[CHEERING, WHOOPING]

- I didn't know you were such a good chef.
- Good.

[SNIFFS] Well...

Mmm, something smell
good in here. [SNIFFS]

- Listen...
- [REFRIGERATOR OPENS]

- [CLATTERING IN KITCHEN]
- until you...

Honestly, I didn't think
I was gonna be able

to gain no strength to
be able to walk again.

Mm-hmm.

Like, all my life has consisted of

is... doctors and lawyers

and... me and Alex trying to, like,

make the house fit for my wheelchair.

Anyway, I just want to say thank you.

Well, you're welcome.

J.J. [ON TV]: Thelma,
as the oldest children

in the Evans household, I
feel we should do something

- to lift Daddy's morale.
- [LAUGHING]

[GOOD TIMES CONTINUES INDISTINCTLY]

No more Mr. Bo's? What happened?

Oh, we had a fight.

Some heifer called his cell.

Well, I thought we was gonna have

- a little privacy tonight.
- For what?

You sitting over here
talking about your ex

ain't how you get some.

[CHUCKLES]: No, sir.

Look, look, he ain't over
with that girl yet...

That's all I gotta say.

Why don't y'all fix me a plate?

[EXHALES]

[GOOD TIMES CONTINUES, RUBY CHUCKLES]

- [CHEERING]
- SHORTY KOOL: Tallahassee, give it up

for Andy and Angel!

It is with my distinct
pleasure to introduce

these three sexy ladies.

I promise y'all they're gonna be

the next big thing, all
right? Make some noise

for Take Three!

- ? You look so sexy ?

? You really turn me on ?

? Blow my mind every time I ?

? See your face, boy ?

? I've been watching you ?

? For so very long ?

? Trying to get my nerves built up ?

? To be so strong ?

? I really want to meet you ?

? But I'm kind of scared ?

? 'Cause you're the kind of fella ?

? With so much class, I ?

ALEXANDRA: ? Get my thoughts together ?

? For the very next day ?

? But when I see you, baby ?

? I forget what to say ?

? Your eyes and your smile ?

? Such a beautiful tone ?

[BOOING]

[BOOING, SHOUTING]

[JEERING]

[JEERING CONTINUES]

You know what? This
is on your cheap ass,

using students to manage the sound.

Well, hold up. First of all,
this has never happened

on one of my shows before.

Maybe you need to check your girls.

Or is this really about
the fact that you're not

the only one who's been with Maurice?

Don't nobody care what y'all used to do.

Let me tell you something, lady.

The only thing I need to do is
what's best for my artists.

And not you or anyone else is
gonna get in the way of that.

[SIGHS]

[TIRE POPS]

You always operate on ten?

What are you doing? Hello?

I'm slashing his tires.
What you think I'm doing?

- What?
- JACKSON: I saw Andy backstage.

He was talking to the sound
guy. He messed your show up.

- Wait, what?
- SIMONE: Are you serious?

- Yeah.
- He's the one that did that to us.

- You gotta be kidding.
- I saw that little Keebler elf

backstage grinning. You
messed up our sound,

- I'm messing with your car.
- Psycho trailer trash bitch slashing tires?!

I'm the white trash, bro.
I saw what you did.

Yes, you are white trash!
Get the hell out of my way!

I got it, I got it. What's up?

[EXCITED CHATTER]

Stop.

You gonna let your sister
wreck his car like that?

Bro, were you a part of this?

Of course I wasn't, okay? He went rogue.

Are you gonna make an excuse
every time he does something

- psychotic and crazy?
- You gonna let your sister

act like a bitch every time she does?

SIMONE: That is the last time you're

gonna call my sister a
bitch, you hear me?

He's the one that started this,
and if you can't see that,

then we got an issue!

Simone!

Oh, you took pictures
to send to your daddy?

It's called insurance!
Can you afford some?

- You gonna slash my damn tires!
- Let's go. Come on, let's go.

ANDY: Ugly-ass ho couldn't even afford

- one of my tires!
- STAR: Get out of the way.

- JACKSON: Really?
- [AIR HISSING]

You good? You happy now?

[EXHALES]: Almost.

There's two more over there.

You might be a good hairdresser,
but you're not a good manager.

I don't want to hear that, Jahil.
I told you to nip this

- in the bud.
- Don't even try to put it on my boys...

- And don't act like you never...
- Don't put it on your boys?

Your boys are just that... they're boys.

Don't try to blame me and don't
try to act like you never...

You're supposed to be making men.

What's the matter?

- Jahil?
- [GROANS SOFTLY]

I'm all right. It's okay.

- You back on that stuff?
- No, I'm not, all right? Don't. Just...

- I'm clean, all right?
- Tell me what you took.

- I'm calling an ambulance.
- Just put the damn phone down, okay?

It's not drugs.

[EXHALES]

It's my heart.

Your heart?

[EXHALES]

[DOOR OPENS]

Who else knows about this?

No one, all right? Don't say nothing

to Cotton about it, all right?

This is no big deal.

Hey, man.

MAURICE: Carlotta, baby, we got to...

Don't "baby" me.

- You could've just told me.
- So Natalie's right,

you trippin' off of that.

Carlotta, that was old.

We can't ruin our
relationship with Natalie.

Is that the only relationship
you're worried about?

Hey, stop trippin'.

We can't do this tour without her.

We can't get Sound House
without this tour.

You think I don't know that?

Now, I'm gonna go in here
and fix what's broke.

'Cause my artists can't get a bad rep.

Check me again,

and me and you gonna have a problem.

NOAH: Yo, yo, ladies, make some noise.

[WOMEN CHEERING]

All my fellas make some noise.

- [MEN SHOUTING]
- All right,

I want y'all to show some
love for my favorite group,

the best group out today,
my baby girl's group,

- Take Three.
- Yeah!

[JEERING, SHOUTING]

[A CAPPELLA]: ? You look so sexy ?

? You really turn me on ?

? Blow my mind every time I ?

? See your face, boy ?

? Come and talk to me ?

? I really wanna meet you ?

? Can I talk to you? ?

? I really wanna know you ?

? Come and talk to me ?

? I really wanna meet you ?

? Can I talk to you? ?

? I really wanna know you ?

? You look so sexy ?

? You really turn me on ?

? Blow my mind every time I ?

? See your face, boy. ?

- [CHEERING]
- That was dope!

That's how we do that.

[CHEERING CONTINUES]

SHORTY KOOL: That was
dope. That was dope.

Hey, y'all come in here, come in here.

Yo, that's how we get
down with Shorty Kool.

We got Noah Brooks. We got Take Three.

- What's up?
- We coming to a party near you!

- Ah!
- [WHOOPS]

? I want this life forever,
I want that money forever ?

? All my diamonds are better,
I want two bitches together ?

Hey, Noah!

? I want that money forever ?

Do me a favor.

? I want two bitches together ?

? I'm on a whole nother level,
I'm on a whole nother level ?

? I'm on a whole nother level ?

? I'm on a whole nother level ?

? I want this life forever ?

? I want that money forever ?

? All my diamonds are better ?

? I want two bitches together... ?

Yo, look. That's the same
girl from yesterday.

She's really on a mission.

Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa. No,
no, no. You got to chill, baby.

No, no, no, you got to chill on that.

Hey, yo, what you need
to do is fall back.

- Alex.
- First of all, bitch,

- he ain't got no ring.
- I'm sorry,

- what did you just call me?
- She just called you a bitch.

- That's what I heard.
- NOAH: Star, come on.

Well, you need to walk away, bitch.

STAR: Yup.

- NOAH: Please.
- [GASPING]

ALEXANDRA: Star, I got this.

Hold on, hold on. Come
here, come here, come here.

- What?
- Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa!

- Star.
- I should call the cops on your ass, bitch!

Call them from my phone!

NOAH: That was crazy, right?

Fans. Come here.

I don't like being embarrassed, Noah.

What-what? That's a fan.
I had no control in that.

- Come on. Stop tripping.
- No.

What?

Alex.

Andy, what you did was
dirty, and you know it.

And you know not to mess with
Star... she's mentally ill.

- She pushed me.
- You not just an artist...

You are an employee for this label.

You making us all look bad.

Now, as far as that internship
program, you're done.

I had a lapse of judgment.

I'm sorry. You know I need this job.

My folks are gonna cut me off.

So then you'll have to fend for yourself

- for the first time in your life
- Yo, will you shut up?!

- Like the rest of us!
- Hey, hey, hey!

Look, you jeopardized the whole tour.

- I understand...
- Now... No, you pull another stunt,

I'll take you off that, too.

I'm not mentally ill, by the way.

Yeah, I know.

When you feel threatened,
you fight. I get it.

Just be careful out there, Star.

[DOOR SHUTS, TV DRONING]

The Mexican's back.

[SIGHS]

Hey.

- Don't come closer.
- Okay.

You ain't no rebound. Trust me.

If you haven't noticed, my
grandma is a little crazy.

No, she's not crazy.
She's a crazy witch.

- [CHUCKLES]
- And I'm Colombian, by the way!

You're important to me, okay?

And if I have to get another
physical therapist, I will.

But I want you to be with me.

Uh...

I said stay there.

Fine.

[DEREK STIFLES A GROAN]

[INHALES DEEPLY]

[GRUNTING]

- Can I go forward now?
- Yeah.

[PHONE RINGING]

Hello?

Yes, yes, this is his grandmother.

No, we haven't heard anything
about the settlement yet.

A check?

How much?

Thank you for coming back.

Well, I still have questions.

So what are you working with down there?

- What?
- I'm sorry, but...

I have to ask that if you're
gonna be around my child.

You mean that's our child.

I just never thought having a baby daddy

would be this complicated.

Well, try being one.

With double D's.

[BOTH CHUCKLE]

I forgot how funny you were.

Well, not everything
about me has changed.

You want to see a picture?

[CHUCKLES]: Yes.

Okay.

He's beautiful.

- Yeah, he is.
- [DOOR OPENS]

CARLOTTA: Cot! Me and your
father are here, like you asked.

COTTON: I got to tell y'all something.

Meet the mother of your grandson.

What grandson?

Maurice kicked me out of
the internship today.

My parents are gonna lose
it when they find out.

You need a plan B.

I got to find out how to get some money.

'Cause I ain't asking them for nothing.

Simone...

I'm-I'm sorry.

[DOOR SHUTS]

Look, if we're gonna do
this whole marriage thing,

you've got to understand
I'm always gonna have

my sister's back.

You can't even begin to understand

what we've been through.

Try me. I'm not gonna judge you.

I'm not a saint. Neither is my family.

Have you... have you seen Jahil?

- Right?
- [CHUCKLES]

I know she's your family.

Yeah, someday I'll tell you.

Well, I'll be here when you're ready.

[DOOR SHUTS]

Miss Cassie.

Mm.

? Let me hold you tight ?

? If only for one night ?

? Let me keep you near ?

- ? To ease away your fears ?
- Mm.

? It would be so nice ?

BOTH: ? If only for ?

? One night ?

? Night. ?

[SQUEALS]

Get your ass in this car.

If you still mad, then I might
as well go get some work done.

I'm more disappointed.

This isn't what I imagined.

What did you think it'd be?

Not us going reality show
ratchet with a groupie.

I hated it when my mom did it.

I don't want to date my dad.

I'm not your dad.

All right.

I'm fire. You're ice.

That's why we work.

And you're corny, is what you are.

Yeah, well, kiss my corny lips.

That's better.

Look, you're the only woman for me.

I mean that.

TATTOO ARTIST: We really should
take a break before I finish.

It's cool. I don't mind
the pain. Go for it.

Who's Mary?

STAR: That's my mama's name.

I never understood why
she named me Star.

But now I finally get it.

She was a singer, like me,

but she died before she made it, and...

I think she just wanted me
to be what she couldn't be.

[BUZZING]

[EXHALES]

Well, we've come a long way

from getting Lucious's
venti black coffees.

You remember what he used to say?

- [GROANS]
- [LAUGHS]

BOTH: "Don't forget
my shot of yak, man."

- You always remembered.
- [LAUGHS]

You know what else I remember?

Everything you like.

Natalie, I'm seeing someone.

Yeah, yeah, I picked that up.

You know what, it's late.

Let's talk about the tour tomorrow.

Okay.

You know, I got big plans for this tour.

I could get you everything you'd want

with Charles...

with Midtown.

I mean...

...if you're down.
