Previously on Star...

I was a baby! You bastard!

I tried to kill his ass.

You sorry you almost killed
Davis because you were high?

'Cause I just filed for temporary
custody over him until Star

gets her ass out of the hospital.

You asked me to protect y'all from Leon.

I always come back for what's mine.

If you touch one hair on her head...

I come here, and I play
music for her every day.

- I'd be a better father than you.
- Yeah, well, you ain't.

Star is really sick,

and she might not ever be
the Star we used to know.

My name is Noah Brooks, and...

I'm 12 days sober.

Noah, it's Bruce. I'm worried about you.

Hey, Bobby. Look, I-I think

you need to get down here.
Your son needs you.

Calvin is your devil.

Get your hands off me.

Come on, baby. Uh-uh. This way.

And if I find any of
this on the blogs, I swear

- I will track you down in this mop of a wig...
- Noah, wake up. Noah!

- Noah, baby, I'll call you later.
- Think I'm playing.

Damn thots.

- Come on, Pa, what are you...
- You've been AWOL

for more than a week.

Had me worried sick
when Bruce called me.

Look at you in here.

You done hit rock bottom, Noah.

How many times I got to stop you
from trying to kill yourself, huh?

Sit up.

Sit up!

I'm-a go get y'all some
tea while y'all talk.

While we talk about what, huh?

You probably done told him
every damn thing already.

- Hey, watch your attitude.
- I ain't worried about Noah.

He ain't mad at nobody but himself.

Well, you should have called me.

Yeah, well, I did.

But your voice mail was full.

Man, I kept trying to
ask you if you was okay.

- And I'm fine.
- You not fine! You clearly not fine!

You know what, I'm here now, and
I'm not gonna leave you again.

You gonna detox right here.

- What?
- You on lockdown.

Ain't on lockdown.
I got ASA luncheons...

- You do?
- Yes.

Ask me if I care about that.

Go ahead!

Exactly.

Get comfortable.

Come on, y'all.

You know Star's gonna
walk in here any minute,

and you haven't put your decorations up.

- Sorry.
- It's okay.

I remember having that look.

I couldn't keep my hands off your ass.

- You want some, too?
- Mm-hmm.

Oh. Oh.

It just got really intimate.

So, when's the wedding?

Soon as my baby wins an ASA.

We're still looking for venues, though.

I was thinking the
Four Seasons in Midtown.

- So a big wedding.
- What?

- That's not big.
- That is big.

Baby, it's the Four Seasons,
not Buckingham Palace.

Yeah, Derek, we know you
got that wheelchair money.

- Can I live?
- Whoa.

- Look who's home.
- Hey.

- Hey.
- What?

Hey.

It's really good to see you back here.

There's Mommy.

- Yes.
- It's Mommy.

Yes.

Hi.

Hi, baby.

It's Mama.

It's Mama. I'm back.

Oh, you got so big. You got so big.

Take it easy. Now, you
know, the doctor said

you may experience a little dizziness

- and nausea, so...
- Yeah.

I know. I'm good. I promise.

Hi, baby. Hi.

Remember me?

I'm back now.

Hey, you just woke up a week ago.

So take it slow.

I know.

You had a lot thrown at you, you know.

So have you, Miss C.

Have they made funeral
arrangements for your dad?

My father and I had a
complicated relationship,

so I'm staying out of all of that.

Speaking of fathers, where's Noah?

Tied up in his music.

Oh.

Okay.

What's that, little man?

What's that cry for?

I think that's his...

- "I need my binky" cry.
- Oh.

There we go, little man.

Yeah, he does that all the time.

I'm sorry.

Don't worry. You got
time to figure all that out.

Hello.

I'm looking right at 'em.

All right, we'll see you down there.

That was Maurice.

He wants y'all to come
down to the luncheon

and look at Take 3's intro package.

- Okay, cool.
- All right, let's go.

Where are you going?

I'm going with you.

- I'm ready to go.
- You know I can watch Davis.

Nah, he's my little road dog.

It's all good.

Let's go to work.

Hey, Star.

Good to see you.

I didn't think you'd
be back at it so soon.

She's not. She's taking it easy.

So, how'd the intro package come out?

The promo team knocked it out the park.

It'll play behind the girls
when they take the stage

to accept the nomination.

- And what about the "So Sick" package?
- All good.

Alex, you'll promo that one
alone if Noah doesn't show.

Why wouldn't Noah show?
It's the damn ASAs.

He's coming.

Yo, what's the deal with the
performance at the actual award show?

Word is the committee is looking

for another artist up for
Best Pop Album to perform.

Amber Drake.

She just got on the scene, Maurice.

She's huge right now,

which is why they got her
singing at the nominee luncheon.

Oh, so she's gonna have a leg up

with all those producers and voters now.

Here we go. Sound check for Amber Drake.

* You send that dopamine *

* To my brain *

* To my brain *

* I know a private party *

* Somewhere for just the two of us *

* Let me surprise your body *

* Your body *

* I want your body *

* All to myself, all to myself *

* I want you all to
myself, all to myself *

* Nobody else, nobody else *

* Nobody, nobody else, nobody else *

* Just me, my body *

* And you, and you, and you *

* And you, and you *

* Just me, my body *

* And you, and you *

* I want you all to myself *

* All to myself. *

Next check in five after
the lighting changeover.

Yes, that's right!

- Screw doctor's orders.
- Sounded great.

I'm not letting that broke
Madonna take us down.

You need to get us that
performance at the luncheon.

I ought to pistol-whip your dumb ass

for trying to take what's mine.

Please do it so I can go

to the cops and tell
them all of your dirt.

Ain't nobody trying to
believe no ex-hooker.

Say it again so I can
shank your stupid ass.

Dior is not your property.

You're gonna leave her
and all those girls alone.

You really ain't in a position to be
putting no demands up on nobody.

But you are in a position
to give me something.

Don't even think about it.

This your auntie's bar, right?

Why don't you let me run

Dior and some other
girls up out of here?

Why in the hell would I do that?

Well, I guess you don't
really care about the safety

of your girls after all, huh?

You know how hard it is
out there in them streets,

especially for a girl like you,

and you made top dollar.

Oh!

Look, you manage 'em.

I'll be hands-off.

But I make my money.

Think about it.

Hey, let's put these
banners up in the lobby.

Come on.

Don't look at me like that.

I'm breathing heavy
'cause this is heavy.

The doctor cleared me. I'm good.

To leave the hospital. Not perform.

Look, I want this ASA
just as much as you do.

I need this, Alex.

You know I do.

My solo career is falling off.

Star, we can't have you go
back to the hospital, okay?

You need to slow your roll.

This feels slow.

I know. It's hard.

Hey, guys.

I'm Amber Drake.

This is crazy, right?

- I'm a huge fan.
- Oh.

"I Bring Me" was my jam back in the day.

Back in the day? It was two years ago.

I get the sacrifices y'all
had to make to get here.

And now we're nominated
for Best Pop Album.

- Can you believe it?
- I cannot believe it.

And your first time out the gate.

Well, this is my first album,

but I've been grinding since I was ten.

Just like y'all.

Oh, I'm sure it was exactly like us.

Mmm-mmm, I got a million
and one things to do

before your father's funeral.

Don't know why you're
wasting your time on that.

Lottie, we're not gonna
have that conversation again.

I finished his eulogy,

and I want you to read it.

And I also want you to help me pick out

a family photo for the program.

I'd be happy not to have my
name or my face in that program.

Lottie, stop being so doggone dramatic.

You know what, Ma, you...

you know what that man did to me,

and yet you're walking around here
like it never even happened.

Which is almost as damn
bad as him trying to stick

- his nasty-ass...
- Oh, no!

I don't want to hear that no more!

Look, I've done the best I could

to raise you and your sister,

making y'all into the strong
women y'all are today.

But in life sometimes
you got to do things

that you don't want to
do for the greater good.

What greater good, Ma?

What does that even mean?

It means your daddy is gone. He's dead.

So whatever problem you had with him,

you need to let it
lay down and die, too.

I ain't going to that funeral.

I'm glad he's dead.

One second.

One second, baby.

Here I come. I got you.

Let's see where your daddy's at.

Haven't seen him yet.

It's Noah. You know what to do.

Noah, what is going on?

I've called you a hundred times.

Call me back about your son.

- Hey.
- Hey.

You heard from Noah?

Let me hold Davis.

No, I got him.

Where's Noah?

- I don't know.
- Simone.

Noah's been taking pills.

I walked in, and Davis was crying,

and Noah was passed out on the floor.

He was alone?

- No.
- You took the time to throw me

a welcome home party, but you
didn't tell me what's going on

- with my child's father?
- You were already

going through a lot, and I
didn't want to make it worse.

I would never leave my baby
in the hands of a junkie.

- Okay.
- I would die first, Simone.

- You know that!
- I know, and I took him out of there, Star.

You shouldn't have had to, though.

I should have been here.

He's three months old.
I should have been here.

Star, you couldn't have
been there, and that's okay.

I took care of it.

But I'm back now. Okay? I'm back.

So I don't want you
making any more decisions

for me or my son.

Don't talk to me like I haven't been
here for you and Davis every day.

Please.

Simone, where are you going?

Hey, Lottie.

Sister Hodge sends her
condolences for Daddy.

She made us a pound cake. Ugh.

People keep bringing
up this damn funeral.

Yeah, and you know Mama
keeps up her appearances

- so she won't feel so bad.
- I don't know why.

Denial's the best way.

Ain't nothing to cry about.

I don't know, sis.

I think them sins caught
up with his ass in the end.

And what's that supposed to mean?

Did you do something?

- Hey, hey, hey.
- Hey!

- Hey!
- There's my girl.

How you doing, Big Cousin Duke?

- What's up, cousin?
- What's happening, girl?

Look at him. Big-headed Rashad.

You can just call me "Rashad" now.

- Oh.
- Yeah.

Look at you all grown
up and smelling yourself.

Hey, what's this I hear about y'all
not coming to your daddy's funeral?

Look, we don't need to talk about that.

Come on now. This your
daddy we're talking about.

Y'all got the nerve to do him like that?

Now, I know you never forgave
him for leaving your mother.

- I don't care about that.
- You did.

You were always Daddy's little girl.

Now, what'd he ever do to you?

You need to stand down, Cousin.

I need you to do right by your father.

I'm-a check y'all later.

Okay.

Okay. You need some water, son?

Bobby, this is a part of the detoxing.

It's all right. Let
him soldier through it.

Look, I can't soldier through it.

We need to call a doctor or something?

No, Pop. No, I'm good. I'm good. Just...

I-I need some air.

- I can't breathe. I need to get out of here. I need...
- Look, look...

- Okay, all right.
- Look, Bobby, it's been 24 hours.

Ain't no drugs in his
system. He just feeling it.

That's all. It's a part of it.

If you insist, I got a friend

who's a detox specialist.
I can call him.

Okay...

Noah, open this door.

- Oh, this crazy bitch here.
- Open the door.

- Hey. Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, okay.
- Bruce, open this door!

- I can see you!
- Can I talk... can I talk

- to you for a second... ?
- No, you may not.

- Look, Star...
- What happened, Noah?

Star, you need to take it easy.

You promised me. I
trusted you with our son.

- Star.
- What happened?

- Star, it was an accident.
- I don't want to hear no excuses.

I heard enough of those
from my mother. Stand up.

Get up and look me in my eye, Noah.

- I don't feel bad for you.
- Star.

Look at me in my eyes and tell me

what happened. What happened?

Star, look, I'll never
forgive myself, all right?

- I don't believe you.
- I'm sorry.

All I wanted was for my
child to have a father.

But take a good look,

because this is the last time
that you're gonna see your son.

Star, would you calm
your crazy ass down?

I will never be calm about this.

Star, I'm sorry.

- Ever!
- I'm sorry.

Nice to meet you.

Hey, listen.

Sorry I'm late.

Some things never change.

I went to see Noah.

I wanted to see him for myself.

I get that we're all supposed
to hate him right now,

but he's really trying
to get it together.

Yeah, I know that, but he's
not being a good father.

Bruce said he's trying
to get sober, but...

- Mama used to say the same thing.
- Exactly.

We all got things we
got to get past in life,

but it always gets
passed down to our kids,

whether we like it or not.

And what made you so wise?

Juvie. Dealing with your ass.

Sorry I yelled at you earlier.

- No, you're not.
- You want to say sorry?

- No, I don't want to say sorry.
- See, nothing's different.

You two are still arguing.

You're still coming in late

and yelling like you just
came from the trailer park.

What's up with the luncheon?

- Yeah, Maurice got us a spot to perform.
- Dope. Nobody told me.

- We got to talk about that.
- What is there to talk about?

If y'all are gonna tell me to sit my ass

down again, I'm gonna go off.

This performance and this nomination
are all that I've got right now.

If we're performing, I'm performing.

You got the track, load it up.

You think I'm playing?
'Cause I'm not. Load it up.

Okay.

Let's hear it.

* Can I see you in the... ? *

It's been a while.

Again.

* Can I see you in the morning? *

Run it back.

Remember, the doctor
said not to push it, okay?

Run it back, Simone.

It's just been a while. I'm fine.

Run it back!

* Can I see you... *

* Can I see you... *

I'm singing the...
I'm singing the right note, right?

I'm sorry. Did you say
vocal rest? No, I can't.

Great.

Great.

Damn it! I'm sorry.

It's okay. It's okay.

Are you mad at the world, too? Huh?

You want to go on vocal rest?

Maybe that's what you need.

- Hi.
- Hey.

I, uh...

heard you were home.

You look great.

Shh, baby. It's okay.

- And he will not stop crying.
- No.

You want to say hi?

No, I actually...

came to see how you were doing.

I'm amazing, outside the fact
that I'm the only person

in the world who can't seem
to get my son to stop crying.

You didn't know babies cry?

- It's kind of what they do.
- Yeah.

And the doctor just called
and put me on vocal rest.

He said the intubation
bruised my vocal cords.

Your vocal cords are damaged?

That means I can't sing.

And I have a performance
tomorrow at the ASA luncheon.

Why do you need to?

Because there's this new girl,
Amber, who's on our backs.

Come on. You're scared of a new artist?

No, it's not about a new artist.

I'm not about to come home and lay down.

I've been out the game for three months.

I've lost all this time with my son.

I've lost all this traction
on my solo stuff.

Now I can't even sing. I have nothing.

And he won't stop crying for me
because he hasn't been with me.

Okay. Okay. Okay. Let me see him.

It's okay. Shh...

Come here.

I missed you.

- Star, I...
- I know.

I know you had to move out.

I understand. But Simone told me

you visited me in the
hospital the whole time.

It's 'cause I care about you.

But right now we're just friends.

It's all it can be.

Remember when we were
on the bus to the family reunion...

and you took the water cooler and put it

in front of the bathroom, and
then Uncle Walt peed in it?

You went crazy.

You were crazier than me, though.

But, see, you had everybody fooled

with that whole
holier-than-thou routine.

- Yeah.
- Yeah, but I know you.

I know you, too.

I was the first to figure
out you were different.

Yeah.

I mean, the fellas would be out playing

two-hand touch in the streets,

and you over here on the sidewalk

jumping rope with the girls.

And I was the baddest double Dutcher

- in the neighborhood.
- There we go.

I used to feel bad, though,

'cause everybody kept
trying to make you be Arnold

when that really wasn't who you are.

Yeah. It took me a long time
to finally settle into my skin.

You know, I was out in these streets

- making a lot of mistakes.
- What saved you?

- My grandmother.
- We all need someone

to reach out and save us.

There but for the grace of God...

go I.

Oh, here you go with this.

Go to bed, church boy.

- Hey, Ma.
- Hey, babe.

Hey.

Your dad said you're over here
to change my mind about the funeral?

Nah. You know what's
sad about our family?

We only really get together
for funerals and holidays.

You know what?

The older I get, the more I realize

family ain't about who
you have to be with.

It's who you choose to be with.

And that ain't got
nothing to do with blood.

All I can say is, your
father changed my life.

He helped me find Christ,

he paid my tuition all
throughout college.

That's why I'm here...

to pay my respects.

I don't know what went down
between you and Cousin Calvin,

but it can't be worth
you missing his funeral.

Well, look-y here.

When did you start coming
here to wet your whistle?

When I found out the drinks was free.

I know the owner.

- And you lucky to have me.
- Hello, would you care for a drink?

Because I've been fending calls
off of Ma all damn day.

Yeah, well, she done
made my place ground zero

for this damn funeral.

Yeah, but you got to look
at that bright side, though.

You have plenty of food
and a whole lot of alcohol.

Yeah, for a man we love to hate.

Yeah.

- Mmm.
- Carlotta, he's gone now.

You know, God works in mysterious ways.

That's Scripture.

Was it God?

Or was it you?

Look, Mama wasn't there for
you, and she still ain't.

And Daddy was filthy guilty,
hiding behind the fact

that he was your stepdad,
so I couldn't let that slide.

I had to step in and
do what I had to do.

And you okay with that?

Hell no, I'm not okay with that,

but I'd do it again if
it meant protecting you.

Protecting me?

Every word of denial was
a bullet to your heart.

So I packed that damn gun away for good.

Aw, man.

I'm just so tired of this whole mess.

Yo, not telling people why
you're not participating

in Daddy's funeral
gives him power over you.

- And he's dead.
- I am not having

this whole damn family
look at me like some victim.

Lottie, do you remember what
you used to tell me as a kid?

I told you a lot of stuff.
You was bad as hell.

But you used to tell me that
the truth would set me free.

I told the truth, Cassie.

And the person I needed to
believe me the most refuses to.

Well, I believe you,
if that means anything.

And I always got your six.

Well, you could prove that
by getting us another round

of whatever the hell this is.

- This about to have me right.
- Right?

- What?
- Drink the rest of mine. I'll get us one.

On me.

Davis?

Hey.

Davis!

Davis! Aah!

- Davis! Davis!
- Oh, Noah, Noah, Noah, no, no, no, no.

I'm sorry, man! I'm sorry.

- Noah, Noah, Noah, Noah, Noah, hey.
- Sit him down. Sit him down.

No, no, it's just a nightmare.

- I got you. I got you, son.
- I'm sorry.

- It's okay.
- This is a...

he a certified opiate doctor, all right?

He's Dr. Feel. He helped me
when I was going through it.

- He's clearly in full-blown withdrawal.
- What do we need to do?

We got to take him to a hospital?

- I really think we should.
- We're leaving,

- we're leaving.
- No, no, no, no, no.

I got it, Pop. I can do it.

- I can fight it.
- I can't let you kill yourself to do this, man.

I've got to be strong for my son.

I've done everything wrong.

He didn't deserve it.
So if I got to be sick,

if I got to hit the bottom, I'll do it.

I got to do it.

- Oh, come on, Pop, please.
- I know.

All those lessons, all those lessons
you tried to teach me,

how to be a man, this
is the one that counts.

No, no, I know that look in
your eye... that's the same look

I had when I came back
to get you, all right?

- I can do it.
- You can do this.

Okay?

You can do it.

You can do this.

Simone, I will talk to her,
but you know your sister.

I'll try. I will try.

All right. Bye.

This is from the gentleman.

* Man *

* Too broke to pay attention *

* Man, man, yeah *

* Man, listen, man, listen *

I don't want to assume you need company,

but I damn sure could use some.

* Stand different... *

Very good.

Now, how many times
have you used that line?

My first time, actually.

May I?

* Make you stand different,
they dropped the ball *

You may have all the
lines, but I don't think

- I have the time tonight.
- Yeah.

It seemed like that phone call was

stressing you out a little bit.

You okay?

I'm good.

Nothing I can't handle.

Nothing you can't handle, huh?

Well, look, I may not be able
to make that go away forever...

but I sure as hell can make
it go away for a little while.

* Man, listen, man, listen. *

I needed that.

Oh.

You and me both.

Wow.

Whew!

I need a moment.

And a shot.

I don't usually do this.

Who's judging, huh?

You know... tomorrow we can go back

to our big and complicated lives.

But tonight...

we're just two strangers.

This is where Mommy works.

What you think of this?

Hey, I'll talk to you later.

Hey, Star, I need to talk to you.

- 'Sup?
- Simone told me about what's going on,

how you've been pushing it
too hard with your voice.

Pushing yourself too damn hard.

Carlotta, I'm fine.

- Oh, yeah?
- I'm performing tomorrow.

I'm not bowing down to Amber Drake.

Okay. Well, then hit
a middle C for me real quick.

- It's in your range.
- Carlotta, come on.

- Come on, you got it.
- I don't got to prove nothing to you.

Or Simone or Alex.

Look...

only thing you need to
be worried about right now

is taking care of yourself and your son.

You don't need to be worried
about that performance.

That performance is how
I'm taking care of Davis.

Or is it how you're dodging your guilt?

Look, I know what it's
like to be locked up in jail

and have somebody else raising your son,

missing out on all those firsts.

But until you can admit
that and deal with that,

you've gonna be chasing
down all the wrong things.

- Here we go.
- Oh, no, look, if you made this,

then I know it's got pork in it,
and you know I'm vegan.

Hey, hey, hey, hey, I don't
care nothing about no vegan.

This is double bacon and ham...

that's how you're gonna get
your strength back, son.

Yeah, well, I'm gonna need it.

'Cause I feel like I'm
coming back from the dead.

Let me tell you something.

Watching you rise up and deal
with your demons the way you have,

- it inspires me.
- Yeah.

Struggling through this has...

it made me realize I've
been blaming everyone else

for the things that
happened to me in my life.

Don't beat yourself up too bad, man.

We all got our shortcomings.

It's how we deal with those,
that's what really counts.

Look, Pop...

thank you for seeing me through this.

I love you.

- All right, okay, I'll talk to you later.
- Oh.

Truth be told, though,

I couldn't have got
through this without Bruce.

That's who we really
need to thank right there.

- Thank you, Bruce.
- Oh, so y'all finally trying to give

a bitch some damn credit around here.

- Hey, we try, we try.
- Y'all try, uh-huh.

No, I just got off with Carlotta. Um,

the ASA producers want to make sure

you're coming to the
nominee luncheon, but...

- Oh, that's great.
- No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no.

The music business is on hold for now.

Wait, wait, come on, Pop,

that's-that's the nominee luncheon.

If I don't show up, they're gonna talk.

Let 'em talk.

Worrying about this mess got
you here in the first place.

Listen to me... I'm making sure

- this never happens again.
- And it won't.

Never happens again.

You're gonna be battling
addiction your whole life.

You want to win?

You got to fight it 24 hours a day.

- You ain't ready.
- I've been detoxing, all right?

I've-I've detoxed.

I need to take care of my business.

- I need to take care of Davis.
- Listen here.

You trying to take care of your son?

I'm taking care of mine.

- Come on, man.
- I'm taking care of mine right now.

You want to fight me on this one?
All right, let's go.

Hello.

So, what'd the doctor say?

He said I'm all good to perform.

Girl, you know that you a damn liar...

I just got off the phone
with the doctor,

okay, and he said
that you need to be resting.

Well, then I'm-a sue him.

'Cause he shouldn't
be telling my business.

Star, you and Davis
are my business, okay?

Your health is way more important
than this nominee luncheon.

That's why me and Alex
have made the decision.

And what's that?

You're not performing with us.

You're performing without me?

If that means getting
a shot at ASA, then...

It won't.

Star, you think that we can't
do anything without you?

I didn't say that.

- This is Take 3.
- Look, a lot of things

have changed since you've been gone.

I've had to grow up.
Alex is a superstar.

And you can't just put
yourself into everything.

It's a Take 3 performance.

- I'm singing.
- No, you're not.

You are outnumbered: two against one.

You're not singing.

We made our decision.

Okay? I'm out.

- Alex...
- So am I.

If you walk out that door,

you might as well find
someplace else to stay.

You know that baby's crying
'cause his diaper's wet, right?

Good luck.

* Watch what you say to me *

* I do not have no more time *

* Don't say that you love me *

* If you do not mean it *

* So watch what you say to me... *

That's right, take it all in.

You've worked your ass off for it.

You fought like hell.

Since day one.

The minute I met Alex,
I knew we'd be here.

But now I feel like
I'm on the sidelines.

I was so close to getting it, Carlotta.

I was so close I could taste it.

And now it's killing you
'cause you're not in control.

Star, you've got to listen to your body.

Let the girls get
the shine for y'all today.

That's not what I do.

I'm not used to that, sitting
back and doing nothing.

Even with my own son, Carlotta.

I watch Simone. Simone knows
everything that Davis needs.

And I should be able to do that.

I should be able to take care of him.

I'm the one who took care of her.

Yeah, I'm sure
that seems backwards, but...

you got to meet Davis, your voice,

your career where it's at.

Not where you want it to be.

Even Noah.

- You don't got to defend him to me.
- I'm not defending him.

I'm just saying people are broken.

Y'all are both trying
to be good parents,

but it's not gonna happen
for either one of y'all

until you take some
time and heal yourself.

Look...

this is about a celebration, baby girl.

You're at the American Sound Awards.

You're nominated.

You got to enjoy this moment...

however it is.

Don't think too much.

I'm gonna see you in a minute.

- All right.
- Okay.

Give it up for Amber Drake

and her performance "All to Myself."

You crushed it, Amber.

Let me see you top that.

I want to smack his ass.

Hey, y'all.

All right, Star, please don't
fight us on this. Please.

I'm not here for that.

It took me a while
to admit it, but I get it.

As much as my mind is ready to get
on that stage, my body's just not.

And, uh, I... I see that y'all

were just trying to look
out for me and Davis.

I mean, yeah, we just want
what's best for y'all both.

Also...

I don't really want to live
in that big old loft by myself

'cause I hear noises at night and...

Bitch, please. You know that I wasn't
gonna go back to that nasty RV.

I knew it. I knew you were bluffing.

Up next, performing a smash hit

from their sophomore album,

nominated for Best Pop Album, Take 3!

Go give 'em that work.

Y'all, come here.

Oh! Oh.

* Can I see you in the morning? *

* Can I see you in the morning? *

* Can I? Can I? *

* 'Cause I love the way you're talking *

* 'Cause I love the way
you're talking, ooh *

* I could be your only girl *

* I could be your whole damn world *

* And we could get lost in it *

* I could be your only girl *

* I could be your whole damn world *

* And we could get lost in it *

* Talk too much, I know *

* But you get me, though *

* Ramblin' again, but you wanna know *

* I can't help but feel *

* Like we've been here before *

* Oh, oh-oh-oh, oh *

* Tell me that you
wanna put up with me *

* Love me just the way
I'm supposed to be *

* Promise you I wouldn't be... *

You'll be back out there soon enough.

'Cause you're a fighter.

* Never catch you
looking at other girls *

* You tell me I'm right
when I know I'm wrong *

* Ramblin' again, but you wanna know *

* But you wanna know *

* Oh, oh-oh-oh, no lie *

* I think you're my type *

* I, I really like the way you *

* Don't lie *

* Get me just right *

* Oh, why *

* Too high *

* But you make it all right *

* I wanna see you in the *

* Daytime *

* Stay up all night *

* Oh, oh-oh-oh, oh. *

Yeah, "My Type"!

Yeah, that's lit, ha-ha!

I would like to also order
some, uh, casket spray.

Thank you.

How do you feel, Ma?

I'm tired.

We all are.

That's kind of what I want
to talk to you about.

I need to put this thing
with Daddy behind me.

Lottie, I don't have
time for this right now.

Daddy is dead.

And I don't want to lose...

any more time with you behind this.

But I don't want to sugarcoat it

and act like it never happened
when we both know it did.

You didn't protect me as a child

and you didn't believe
me, and that scarred me.

I'm not hiding my scars.

I'm not concealing 'em for nobody.

Not anymore.

Not to make somebody
comfortable about my truth.

If I hadn't been running the streets

when you guys were growing up,

I could have done something.

I should have done something.

But, baby, I didn't do
a thing, and I'm so sorry, baby.

I'm so sorry.

I'm sorry.

It's okay.

I'm glad to see you
getting some closure, sis.

I know it hasn't been easy.

Yeah, well, this is more of a celebration
of the living than the dead.

I feel like we finally got
a chance to move forward.

For real this time.

Well, amen to that.

Ooh, I need some air.

You know how it gets when we're
in one place at one time.

All of us. Okay?

The ASA producers loved what
you ladies did at the luncheon.

Even without Star.

Okay, so why does it sound like
there's a "but" in your voice?

They gave Amber the performance
at the awards show.

Damn, man.

Y'all could still win that category.

The ASA is yours if you ask me.

We just got to get
you in fighting shape.

I got a doctor's appointment on Tuesday.

Okay, since we're not
performing at the ASAs,

does it really matter anyway?

Bitch, yes, it always
matters if we get an award.

Okay, bitch, we'll just put
some Auto-Tune in your voice.

Stop. That's not funny.

- I was kidding.
- Just...

- I need a drink.
- I'm right here with you.

- I need one, too.
- Let's go.

- What you want?
- Give me a shot of something.

You want a double shot?

Nah, I don't think I can.

- I've always been a Mixed Harmony fan.
- Ah.

It's like your voice has conviction

and a whole lot of emotion.

When I was growing up,
they called that soul.

Felt like pain to me.

Well, some people are born with it

and some people get it
through life experiences.

I know you, Leon, and
I want to protect these girls.

Okay, Leon, fine, we have a deal.

I'll manage the girls
and you get the money.

But if you so much as
wink at those girls,

I'll cut your black ass
with no second thought.

I know we're cousins,
but you've always been

like an auntie to me.

And the thing that
I admire most about you

is you always keep it real.

So I'm-a ask you this:

where does that pain come from?

Rashad.

My father... was many
things to different people.

- To you, he brought you to Christ.
- Yeah.

My sister Cassie,
he treats like royalty.

Me, he sexually assaulted

on more than one occasion.

So the pain you hear in my voice
is from years of hiding

and concealing those
experiences with him.

I'm sorry.

I know. I know.

He was a flawed human being
just like the rest of us.

And stay away from the club.

I don't need my Aunt Ti to know nothing.

* Yeah, yeah, yeah *

* I had those moments *

* I changed my mind *

* Thinking that you, God *

* Wouldn't be on time *

Let us pray.

God, we commend to you

the spirit of Calvin,

and commit his earthly remains

to their final resting place.

Ashes to ashes, dust to dust.

* You proved over and over *

* Your words are true *

* Oh, the healing, God *

* You gave me *

* Help me win, win, win, win again *

* Oh, I give it all *

* To you *

* The pain I go through, yeah, yeah *

* I give it all to you *

* My hope comes from you *

* I give it all *

- * Yeah *
- * To you *

* Whoa, oh *

* Victory in you *

* Yeah *

- * I give it all *
- * I give it all *

* Yeah, yeah *

* I give it all *

* I give it all *

* I give it all *

* To you *

* The pain I go through *

* I give it all *

* To you *

* Victory in you *

- * I give it all *
- * I give it all *

- * I give it all *
- * All *

* To you. *

What do you want?

I, um...

I-I tried calling you
after the luncheon.

I'm sorry.

I was busy raising our son.

Look, Star, I know I messed up.

I'm more sorry than you'll ever know.

You should be.

He could have died.

I went through all of this
with my mother, you know that.

I'm not about to put
my child through it.

He's not gonna hear you say that
you're sorry his entire life.

So I'm gonna do the best that I can,

and I'm gonna get my solo career
back on track while I do it,

but I don't have time to be dealing

with your pill-popping deadbeat ass.

Not this time.

Okay, look, there's
nothing more in this world

that I want to be than a good father.

And I know it's...

I know it's wrong showing up
here like this, unannounced.

But I was...

I was hoping...

that there was any way that...

that-that you would let me see my son.

No.

* Oh, I give it all *

* To you *

* The pain I go through, yeah, yeah *

* I give it all to you *

* My hope comes from you *

* I give it all *

- * Yeah *
- * To you. *
