Previously on The Chi...

Just wondering if you could do something for me.

It depends on what it is.

You think you can get me in touch with Jamal?

Lynae's brother?

Stop, man.

Let me see

what I can do. I ain't making no promises,

- but... - Yeah, yeah!

I got Victor to find your brother.

Where is Jamal?

Jamal's locked up,

awaiting a murder trial.

How'd you get in here?

I asked around.

I no longer use violence as a means to an end.

I need to reacquaint myself

with a lot of people from my past.

It has to start with my sister.

I don't need you to big brother me right now.

You gonna always need me to big brother you.

Please, just be careful with street niggas.

I wanna move out.

I wanna get emancipated.

I signed all the papers,

and I got enough money for a down payment.

Having your own place means buying your own shit.

If you're having second thoughts,

you can always come back.

Bro really got his own crib before me.

You and Papa really over?

I'ma always love Papa,

but I think we're better as friends.

Go get us so money

so we can cut ties with Douda

and be our own boss.

Why take the 10% when we can have it all?

50 racks.

Okay.

So you-you don't want me to pay you back?

I want something else.

Q was my brother.

I wanna know who killed him.

- Surprise. - Oh, my God.

Next time you wanna buy your ex a car,

can you talk to me first?

She asked for a car. I got her one.

- That's it. - Okay, if it's that simple,

I want a bigger place.

Just put down whatever you can,

and, um,

I'll cover the difference.

- Yes. - Yes?

Yes.

Hey, draw up that paperwork,

and now we getting a house.

Fucked up this house...

Oh, shit.

Damn.

What?

You trying to get that deposit back, ain't you?

Hell yeah.

Shit, it's spots everywhere in this motherfucka.

Damn.

It's crazy seeing this place all empty.

Feel like the last episode

of Fresh Prince in this motherfucka.

We went through a lot in this place.

Yeah, psh, yeah, we did.

Damn, I didn't think we would end up like this.

Me either.

But I'm happy.

Are you?

Yeah.

I'm always restless.

Yeah.

But I'm excited about the future.

Yeah, me too.

Why are you so dressed up?

I ain't that dressed up.

You look like you goin' to a meeting or something.

No, I'm just trying something new.

- You know? - Okay.

Okay, okay.

Well, you look nice.

Thank you.

Papa opened up the spot for me this morning,

so I got some time.

Wanna grab some breakfast real quick?

Okay.

A'ight. You driving.

Why I gotta drive?

'Cause I'm trying to get my money's worth.

Oh, Lord. I hope I ain't gotta hear

your mouth every time somebody mentions my new car.

You will absolutely hear my mouth.

Hey, what's up, baby?

Hey.

Our first housewarming is tomorrow.

- Are you excited? - Hell yeah.

But, uh, it seems like we got more guests than furniture.

People can stand.

A'ight.

I invited Lamar.

Mm, I ain't see him since prom.

Yeah, it's been a minute.

Um, shit got crazy after Smokey's opened up.

Mm-hmm. I invited Malaysia.

Oh, I ain't heard her name in a while.

Yeah, after I had the baby, we just drifted apart.

I feel that.

What'chu doin'?

I just saw you sage-ing earlier, and I just feel

like we should christen it too.

- You crazy. - Mm-hmm.

It ain't ours till we get it in up in here.

Come here.

♪ Every time I think that I ♪

♪ Got it all figured out... ♪

What's the point of placing a large order in advance

if it still ain't gonna be ready when we get here?

Um, your order is not in our database.

Do you have your receipt?

The woman who took my order over the phone

said she was gonna text me confirmation.

Did you not get your text?

Do it look like I got a text?

Sir, please use your inside voice.

I wanna talk to a manager.

I'm the manager on duty.

I wanna talk to an adult.

Did you order two trays of fried chicken,

all dark, with a side of mac and cornbread?

That's me.

Somebody put the wrong pickup date on here.

I'll have the kitchen put a rush on it

and for your inconvenience,

I'll throw in two extra sides.

What'chu want?

I'ma do an extra side of greens

and a apple pie.

I said "two sides." The apple pie is considered

a dessert.

Fine.

I'll do the greens and spaghetti.

Sweet or savory?

I'ma go with the sweet.

Good choice...

and I'll throw in the apple pie for free

if you apologize to my colleague.

My bad, sis.

That's not an apology.

I apologize.

You can grab a seat, and Kenya will be out with your order

- in a second. - Thank you.

Well, look at you.

What?

I'm impressed.

Oh, I deal with disgruntled customers all day.

How do you not get mad or clap back?

It's not worth the energy,

and most of the time, these folks be mad about stuff

that ain't got shit to do with us,

so I just find a solution

and send 'em on they way.

I wanna meet your boyfriend.

Why? We just kickin' it.

I hear he work for Douda.

He's just a lookout.

Ain't no such thing as "just a lookout."

Eventually, they gonna tell him to do more than that.

Like what?

Like, first,

they gonna ask him to hold something,

then they'll tell him he'll make more money off the top

if he get somebody else to do it.

Now, if that somebody else don't follow instructions,

they gonna make him take care of it,

which is blood on his hands.

That's your story, not his.

Lynae...

do not get caught up in this shit.

I know so many women in the pen doing time

behind a nigga don't give no fuck about them.

I ain't doing time for nobody.

You better not.

I know you like me

I see you and Emmett

finally stopped playing around.

Girl, you came a long way from hiding under his bed.

I guess you could say that.

How much y'all pay for rent?

We split the mortgage.

How much y'all mortgage?

Damn, girl, you in my pockets, ain't you?

Naw, I mean, I just heard that paying rent

is a waste of money.

Depends on your situation.

Mm-hmm.

So where Emmett at?

He around here somewhere.

Can you trust him?

Yeah.

Mm, mm-kay,

'cause you know he got a reputation.

Oh, no, girl, we good.

Well, look, if he ever on bullshit,

let me know.

My man always acting crazy, so I get it.

I'll be sure to keep you on speed dial, girl.

Hell naw, you crazy?

Hey, fool, your upper body finally starting to bulk up.

But you gotta quit

- skipping leg day. - Nigga, whatever.

Naw, for real. Ain't you been drinking

them protein shakes I sent you on DM?

Hell naw. It's giving

flat tummy tea, but for niggas.

Naw, Em, bitches want nigga with a six-pack these days.

Social media game got bitches fucked up

and they got all these niggas online, doing all this extra

goofy-ass shit for they girl for no reason.

It ain't even a holiday, niggas is giving flowers,

cooking meals and shit.

Yeah, Kiesha want me to start communicating more.

See? It's crazy.

We don't even wanna

talk to them like that.

We just wanna eat good,

fuck good, work out,

- get some sleep. - What about work?

I make enough to get by.

No wonder you single.

Shit, but I got multiple women.

They know about each other?

Hell naw.

I post pics of myself,

and you better... fuck them matching pajamas, E.

Yeah, I'll keep that in mind, man.

Catch you doing that shit...

Hey!

- Daddy. - Hey.

What's up, little man?

Nice car.

Girl, please, you got a whole house out of this nigga.

Come here, EJ.

What up?

What up?

Hey.

Ain't you that nigga from IG?

Yeah, it's a lot of us.

You Master Marshawn, right?

The one and only.

Yeah, man, I'd love to get some of your advice,

you know what I'm saying? One-on-one.

Oh, fo' sho'.

The Cash App is in the bio, bro.

I'm kind of low on cash right now, so...

Damn, I'm kind of low on advice.

Nice meeting you, though.

Hey, uh, it's kind of crowded up in here, man.

Look like the only seat...

right here at the bar.

May as well.

You do the challenge?

Shit, man, I was locked away in the pen for 20 years.

That shit was challenging enough, you dig?

Damn, I feel you.

Hey, I did read your book, though.

- Hmm. - Yeah, The Ten Ways to Level Up

for a Real Queen and How She Can Earn the Keys

- to Your Kingdom. - Yeah, the title kind of long,

- I know. - That shit perfect, yo.

Mm. So you got a woman?

Indeed, I do.

She the breadwinner?

Yeah, that's only because it's kind of hard

for me to get a gig right now.

Hey, I ain't no bum nigga, though.

Do you think you gotta explain to me?

You do not, my brother.

You understand? Look.

We have been taking care of women forever.

These are reparations now.

Huh, never thought of it like that.

Chapter nine, my nigga.

I ain't made it that far yet.

What your girl do?

Oh, she's a art curator for a art gallery downtown.

Fancy.

I know. She real chill, though.

She cool.

She lets you smoke in the house?

Hell naw. Gotta take that shit outside.

Mm, that don't sound chill to me.

No, it don't.

Damn, I gotta get out of here, man.

Gotta go to nigga housewarming.

Ah, shit, I'm going to a housewarming too.

Emmett's shit?

Hell yeah, that's my nigga.

I thought he invited me on accident,

but I'm still riding through there, you know?

Might be a couple baddies in there for me.

Shit, you wanna slide through there together?

You driving?

I got my lady car and shit, so you know.

Good man, I like it.

Let's go. Come on.

Think they gonna have food there?

Gonna have food? If you wanna take a wing,

- nigga, come on. - Aw, shit, I can eat

- in your girl car? - Man, it's cool, come on.

Mm, Kiesha need to package this cheese dip and sell it.

You ain't lying...

and I don't even eat dairy like that.

I'm Deondray.

I'm the one that sold Emmett and Kiesha the house.

Oh, hey. I'm Emmett's mom, Jada.

It's lovely to meet you.

You're a realtor?

- Yeah. - Huh.

Do I not look like one?

I'm used to realtors wearing suits and ties,

flashing they cheesy smiles.

I get it, but I swear I do well for myself.

A lot of my clients look like me,

and we speak the same language.

I like that.

I still wanna know why you sold my son a house

all the way over here on the West Side.

Come on. The West Side is great,

and I love living over here.

It's a drive.

It ain't that bad.

I think it's important we buy up real estate

in our own neighborhoods.

You should just want people to buy real estate period.

That's how you make your money.

The money's nice, but I'm a big believer

in Black folks owning their own homes.

Buying a house in a Black neighborhood

isn't just an investment for that family.

It's a contribution to the community.

And when people buy a house from me,

they're not just investing in me.

They're investing into my mission, my purpose, as well.

Mm.

Are you single?

Naw.

I'm off the market.

Damn.

It's an air fryer.

Yeah, this baby has two baskets

and dual temperature controls,

so you can make two things at the same time.

- Thank y'all. - Yeah.

Oh, hell naw.

Now, I know this nigga did not just come in here

dressed in designer head-to-toe,

and he still owes me money.

- Let it go, Dre. - Nah.

I'll be right back.

Hey, cuz.

Hey, hey. Hey, cuz.

So...

you still good with all this?

Emmett or the house or what?

Both.

Yeah.

I feel good about it.

Well, just keep in mind, you're raising kids now,

three of which aren't even yours.

I know.

And buying a house is a big commitment,

especially when you're buying it

with someone you're not married to.

I know.

What if you two separate?

Even Judge Judy won't hear you if you're not married.

I'm not going on Judge Judy.

You say that now.

Ma, please.

I just want what's best for you, Kiesha.

I know.

Okay.

If you're happy, I'm happy.

I'm happy.

If you say so.

Damn.

Y'all good?

I guess they don't need me anymore.

- Now, that's not true. - Kevin just waved at me

from across the room.

Yeah, bae, 'cause he's with his friends.

Kiesha bought this house

without even consulting me first.

I can't believe she would do something like that

without even talking to me.

Honey, your kids are always gonna need you.

They just gonna need you in a different way.

- Dre... - You gotta learn

- to accept that. - Don't therapize me.

Bae, I'm just trying to tell you the truth.

Well, I wish you wouldn't.

Come on, now.

Come dance with me. Come on, come on, come on.

Don't be a Debbie Downer.

Get yo' ass out there. Come on.

Oh, how'd that go?

Good.

He just keep bugging me about Bakari.

They are just alike, so they'll probably get along.

Jamal just think

street niggas ain't shit.

Mm, he would know.

That's how I became a ladies' man.

Emmett, if he's talking like that at home,

he's talking like that at school.

You need to talk to Tiff.

Why you can't do it?

Stuff just got normal between us.

That's gonna make it weird.

And you want shit to be weird between me and her?

Yeah, Emmett was kind enough to invite me.

Man, don't drag him in your bullshit.

Naw, I'm investing in his future.

I invested in yours, and look where you wound up.

Oh, congratulations, by the way.

I believe the words you're looking for are "thank you."

You know, I've really wanted to start a art collection,

but I don't know if we have the money for it.

Oh, no, you should just talk to Deja.

I'm sure she can help you figure it out.

Girl, not all art is a million dollars.

I used to think that.

Girl, you did such a great job with the place.

- Thank you. - Yes.

Are you into interior design?

- Girl, I'm obsessed. - Okay.

But I do spend most of my time window shopping

'cause I don't really have the money.

Emmett gave me a little budget,

but I feel you. Everything is expensive

a single journey.

But I think if she find the right guy,

she might change her mind.

I'm actually on a single journey as well.

- You are? - Yeah.

I have some work to do on myself, so I'm committed

to me right now.

That's the same thing she said.

Hey, hey.

- Sorry, man. - What?

Why you harassing all the men at the party?

I'm not harassing nobody.

If Tracy wanna be alone,

let her ass be alone.

I just want her to be happy.

Well, who says she ain't?

Damn, Nuck, you scared me.

I wasn't trying to scare you.

Well, you did. The bathroom's across the hall.

Wasn't looking for the bathroom, Kiesh.

I was looking for you.

I'm right here.

I just wanted to say I was sorry.

If I just would've picked you up that night,

none of this shit would've happened.

You would've never got kidnapped.

I think about it all the time.

What took you so long to say something?

To be honest, I didn't know what to say,

and I also figured that you didn't wanna talk to me,

didn't wanna look at me.

I'm looking at you right now.

I can never forgive myself for that shit.

I forgive you.

Kiesha.

Can you make some more cheese dip?

We ran out.

Yeah.

Man, I don't care what nobody else say.

- Mm-hmm. - Fake titties

ain't got nothing on the real thing.

They gotta feel like flesh for me to get undressed.

- Tell you that. - Okay.

Hey, I know one thing:

I sure do miss my lady's titties right about now.

Yeah, where she at?

She out of town, away on business.

Shaad, you know you my dog, man.

I just... I hope she ain't away fucking nobody else.

Come on, Darnell, now, you know she don't get down like that.

- A'ight. - I trust

- none of these hos. - Hey, hey, hey.

Okay, she away on business.

Business, business, business,

- business, business... - Ah, focus!

Hey, man, lay off, man.

Man, you see what you gotta do?

You gotta find the right woman.

Nah, not me, man. I like love to be in multiples.

- Ah. - That way, I never

get my heart broken.

And if someone does break it,

someone there to fix it.

You know what? I ain't mad at that.

Rather have a broken heart than be a broke-ass nigga.

Yeah, you do need that job.

You know they ain't finna hire

no ex-cons right about now.

Whoa, I mean, chill. I mean, Smokey's...

Shit, hell naw, naw.

I need some real money.

What you trying to say?

What you trying to say? Smokey's ain't real money?

What kind of real money are we talking about?

See, that's that woman applying that pressure,

making you believe you need a job

that you can't get right now.

You ain't mentally prepared for no regular job right now.

You still relaxin', man.

They want too much out of men nowadays.

I mean, he right.

See, I mean, we can be homemakers too.

All you gotta do is wash a little dishes...

Break that back out. You gon' be all right.

Oh, oh, we okay.

That's right.

Oh, man, I can't see that.

I don't see myself settling down with just one woman.

I just can't... settling down makes me unsettled.

Yeah, she out there.

Well, tell her come find me.

I be at the strip club with some other hos.

Tell her bring some singles. We're gonna need a ride home,

a place to stay that night.

Man, I told you this nigga was crazy.

I know, man.

That's why I be followin' you, dog.

You crazy, though.

Um, EJ called Ronnie a little bitch earlier.

That boy...

I'm the only one that think that's not funny?

My bad, Kiesh, for real.

Kiesha, kids curse.

We cursed.

What's the big deal?

Honestly, I ain't trippin', you know,

when we at the crib, but he can't be doing that shit

when he in school.

So it's okay for you to curse but not him?

He's five.

He don't know what he saying.

He said he learned it from y'all.

He said what?

He said he learned it

while riding in your car.

Oh, we listen to rap music all the time.

He probably heard some rapper say it.

Maybe listen to the edited version.

Excuse me?

It's just a suggestion.

Well, keep your suggestions to yourself.

Hold up, hold up. We just want EJ's rules

to be the same in both houses,

so, you know, he don't get confused.

Well, you do what you want in your house.

I'ma do what I want in mine.

We gone.

- A'ight. - A'ight.

I told you I handle it.

So it's my fault?

No, I ain't saying that.

You know how Tiff get.

Whatever, Emmett.

Kiesh.

My son ain't gonna be needing your little housewarming gift.

Well, I was just making sure

that your son had protection.

Only thing he need protection from is you.

Okay.

Do you know who you're talking to?

Yeah, you some fake-ass Billy D. Williams.

Come on.

If anything happens to my son,

his girl, or they kids...

I'll kill you myself.

Don't let this earpiece fool you.

Y'all good?

Yeah, mind your business.

Protective father...

I like it.

I like it.

He's changed.

If you say so.

He don't want me fucking with you.

He knows you work for Douda.

I'm saving up so I don't have to do this shit forever.

How much you trying to save?

Enough to get off Papa's couch.

How much longer?

I don't know.

That's not a good answer.

Come on, Nae.

I like making money.

I like not having to clock in to some shitty-ass job

- to do that. - There's other ways

to make money.

Do you wanna work a regular job?

I don't know what I wanna do.

I just know I wanna be happy.

Me too.

Are you happy now?

I'm surviving.

That's not the same thing.

I'm not trying to watch you die.

Look at me.

For now.

You make me happy,

and I want you around all the time.

He don't pay no bills around here.

Plus, he need to get

his own place, anyway, soon.

All right, if I move in here,

I'm gonna wanna spruce this place up a bit.

Please do. We need a woman's touch.

And I'ma need a budget.

- It's gonna be a tight budget. - Oh.

But I got you.

I'm used to making something out of nothing, I guess.

And I'm gonna build a life with you.

You're sure?

Yes.

So we doing this?

Mm...

yeah.

- Yeah? - Yeah.

Yes.

Thanks for sticking up for me.

Of course. I got you.

I'm not really used to people having my back like that.

I always got your back.

Did you wanna go

bowling next Thursday?

For real?

Yeah.

Just us?

Yeah.

Like a date?

Like a hangout.

I gotta ask my mom first,

'cause that's a school night

and as long I'm home by 11,

it should be cool.

You know what?

Fuck that. Thursday's perfect.

I don't gotta ask nobody nothing.

I'll get back when I get back.

Plus, I got my own key, so I come and go as I please,

and just last month,

my parents went on vacation

and left me in charge of the house,

'cause they know I can handle it.

Good night, Papa.

Have a...

blessed evening.

Hey.

Sorry about that Tiff shit.

I just wanna be a unit.

I was tryna be.

It has to be all four of us.

You can't be scared around Tiff.

I'm not. I just don't wanna overstep.

You was doing a lot of stepping today.

We'll find a better way to talk about this stuff.

- I promise. - I hope so,

'cause I hate when y'all mad at me at the same damn time.

I'm less mad now.

Thank God.

So how was your talk with Lamar?

It was kind of weird.

Yeah?

Me and Malaysia don't have anything in common anymore.

She just kept asking how much we pay for this house.

Niggas be nosy as fuck.

Yeah. I feel bad,

but I see why we don't talk.

We just don't care about the same things, you know?

Mm-hmm. My guys still where they was

when we were in high school.

It's like

we can't relate to each other no more.

Mm. Who knew moving up in the world

meant we have to leave people behind?

I guess everybody can't go.

So...

what were you and Nuck talking about?

Nothing.

He tryna get back with you?

No.

- Good. - What were you and Douda

talking about?

When?

When he brought you back here

to give you the housewarming gift.

Oh, nothing, he just gave me some cigars.

You don't smoke cigars.

- I do. - Since when?

Since, like, a week ago.

So it was a gift for you, not for us?

It's a gift for the whole family.

Cigars?

Yeah.

Oh, shit!

What?

- Did you go through my drawer? - No, why?

Did anyone else come in here?

No, just me.

Oh, shit.

Emmett!

Emmett, what's going on?

- Nothing. - Don't lie to me.

What's going on?

Nothing.

Nothing. Everything's fine.

Don't worry.

Everything gonna be just fine.
