Are you sure you're doing this for the people?

[laughs] What?

Why else would I be doing it?

- Maybe just to see, I don't know, if Calvin's gonna stop by?

- Is he coming over? - No.

- Oh, okay, no, no, no, no, no.

That's not why I'm doing it. Not at all, Ms. Ella.

- Good. I didn't think so.

- Is that what you really think?

- Well...what I really think is that you do want to be here.

But if he stops by, you won't be mad.

- You're right. I won't mind.

- Question... - MS. ELLA: [laughs]

- How long have you been sitting out there?

- For hours.

- I'm so sorry, honey.

- I don't have nowhere else to stay.

- Well, yes, you do. Yes, you do.

- I mean, I-- - No, no, don't worry about it.

Let me tell you something.

We have the best homeless ministry at my church.

They have cots that are available.

I can get you in.

- I ain't staying on no cot.

I'mma stay here.

I mean, I don't know why he would do this to me.

- Don't worry about it, baby,

I'mma get to the bottom of this right now.

Don't worry about this.

- You hungry? - MS. ELLA: [chuckles]

- Maybe we should get something to eat.

- She ain't gonna stay on no cot.

- She about to eat your chips, though.

- [chuckles]

You know how it goes on.

Uh, hey, CJ?

Hi, hi, hi. Where's Malik?

Okay, well, tell him and you

I need to see both of you at my house right now.

- How you feel, baby?

- I'm better.

That was so good.

- [chuckles]

- So, what exactly happened? - [smacks lips]

Well...we got into it over the TV.

And-- - The TV?

- Yeah. I wanted to watch my shows

and he wanted to watch some game.

- Mm. - Uh, the playoffs?

- Girl, I don't know.

So I changed the channel.

- Okay, so you just--you just changed the channel on them?

- He told me when I moved in I could do whatever I wanted.

- Ooh, Ms. Ella, you may wanna--

- Mm, mm, mm...go on, go on.

Don't call--don't call my name. Go on, baby.

- [smacks lips] - [gasps]

- Well, you know I love my shows.

Especially the one with the roses.

- Ah, ha ha. - Did Brittany get that rose?

- Did she? - No.

- She did not? - She did not.

- Okay, wait, time out.

After all of that that he put her through,

she didn't get the rose? - Nope. Trifling.

- Oh my goodness. Okay.

- And they wanted me to change it from that.

They lost their minds.

- So, so, so let me get this straight. Hm.

So you just sashayed into the room and changed the channel?

- Wait, what's sashay mean?

- It means--baby, it means, like,

to walk with a sway and with intent, purpose.

- I walked. But I did not sway.

- Okay.

So, you just...changed the channel and did not ask?

- Yeah, that was part of the deal,

that I could always watch my shows.

- Oh. - Right. [laughs]

- Okay. - MS. ELLA: Okay.

- [clears throat]

- What? - Nothing.

Nothing at all, baby.

So, listen. Let's change the subject.

So, um...how did Malik put you out?

- [smacks lips] Well--

- Wait a minute. I can't take it no more.

Can you please stop that-- [smacks lips]

That-- [smacks lips] --smacking?

Just swallow before you get ready to talk.

- Well...

- Beautiful.

- He told me to get out.

So I got my stuff and I left!

- Now wait a minute, something does not sound right about that.

- Mm-mm.

- Well, they will be here, and they'll just tell us their side.

- Uh-uh, my side the only one that matter.

- No, no, no. No, no, no, baby. No.

No, what matters is that you have a roof over your head.

And CJ and Malik are the ones

who are supplying that for you right now.

- Absolutely.

- And when you're living together, baby,

or staying with someone, or shacking...

you have to respect each other's space.

- Ms. Ella's right.

- Ain't you divorced?

- Well-- [laughs]

Well, they're gonna be here in a minute, sweetie.

And, um, and you can just continue to eat

until they get here.

- Thank you. - You're so welcome.

- I'm just so glad. You're so sweet.

And thank you for trying.

- Ella! - Oh my--

- Well, Dad, why don't you go in there and see what's going on?

- Oh? You want me to go in there?

You started it.

- What did I do?

- You took the remote from the girl and changed the TV.

- And that caused all of this?

- Uncle Curtis, will you tell him?

- You took the remote out of a pretty woman's hand?

- Yes, he did.

- Oh, you're a miracle.

- Wait, how am I a miracle?

- 'Cause you standing here to tell the story.

- Dad, can you just go in there and talk to Auntie Ella, please?

- Well, shall we run?

- Oh, here you go with the "we" again.

Look, I think it's too late for that, Son.

I wanna know, why did you put her out of this house?

- Wait? Wait, what?

- Come on, Malik. Have a seat.

- Throw you under the bus. - Yeah.

- What happened?

- Well, um, I told her

that I had a issue with her changing the channel.

So she packed her stuff and she left.

- And you just let her leave?

- I mean, what was I supposed to do?

- She is pregnant.

You have to give her a little leeway.

- Oh, it isn't--is that right?

- Yes, absolutely! - Ah, what--

- MIRANDA: And I don't understand what's going on with

the men in this family. - MS. ELLA: Hold on--

- Where they don't understand that when you love someone,

you don't just let them leave.

- Hey, hey, hey. Hey, hey, hey.

- Okay, my bad. - MS. ELLA: Come back.

- I'm sorry. - Come back.

- You know, Calvin...

- Obviously.

- We know.

- CJ: [laughs]

- I can't believe you told them I put you out.

- Well, you let her leave. That's the same thing.

- Thank you. - Wait, what?

- MS. ELLA: All right, everybody.

Listen, I know that you have to have compromises

and so on and so on.

But she's pregnant and going through it.

So you're gonna have to bear with her.

- Thank you, Aunt Ella.

- MS. ELLA: Just let me talk for you.

- I thought I was bearing with her.

- By changing the channel?

- I wanted to watch the game.

- Well, you have to compromise with me 'cause you don't know

what it's like to carry a baby for nine months.

- [in unison] Neither do you!

- Look, I get that, all right?

But you have to admit, what you did was wrong.

- And the way you was talking to me was wrong too.

- Just say you sorry. - Dad, I didn't put her out.

- Save your life...

and say you're sorry.

- I'm sorry.

- Ah, so, you guys go home and talk about this.

- Yes, ma'am.

You can thank me later.

You're welcome.

Well, wait a minute, wait a minute.

I'm looking at you.

I'm watching how you walked in here today

with this exaggerated story for some sympathy.

- I don't want no sympathy.

- MS. ELLA: Yes, you do.

I don't know why you're so hard or why you're so tough.

Calm down.

Y'all go back to your house and y'all talk about this,
