I'm hoping these photographs
can help jog your memory.

It was her.
She's the one who stabbed me.

[Sabrina] Previously on
Sistas...

I must have done it, right?
I stabbed Gary.

[Jordan] Tell me,
what is going on?

Your sister is under arrest

for the attempted murder
of Gary Borders. Let's go.

Penelope, what is
he talking about?

You're being suspended
and put on temporary leave.

You son of a bitch.

I would like your help
with Marie Willis' contract

for her newest business venture,
Roots to Riches.

We'll be working
with her partner, Karen Mott.

Zac and I have been

investigating who might
have stabbed Gary.

-Is this a suspect board?
-You damn right it is.

We don't think
Penelope did this.

Did you stab Gary?

You seriously believe
that I could stab a knife

into another
human being's chest?

Well, did you?

Backstabbing mother--.

You deserve to die.

What are you doing here, Hayden?

I came to check on my guy, Gary.
Seems a little foggy.

Did y'all use
my edge control cream as lube?

It was better
than petroleum jelly.

Wow, bitch.

I have sickle cell?

[Doctor] You do carry the trait,

which makes you ineligible
as a sperm donor.

But you do still have
another sample available.

If you give me one more chance,

I will spend the rest of my life

proving to you
just how perfect you are.

Where the hell is your sister?

Penelope lost everything
because of you.

-You deserve to die, Gary.
-Security!

I think my water's just broke.

Wait, wait, wait, what?

[Rich] Maybe I should focus
on my goals and dreams,

and allow you to do the same.

[kissing and moaning]

[woman gasps]

Sabrina!

You don't understand.
That's not what--

[effort grunts]

I'm finally gonna get rid

of both of y'all
once and for all.

[screams] Oh, my God!

Please, you don't
have to do this.

I want you to feel the same pain
that I did

when you took Kimberly from me.

[indistinct]

-[fight grunts]
-[Andi screaming]

[gun firing]
[man pained screaming]

[horn honking,
siren wailing]

[tense music]

[Andi] Zac, Zac! Where are you?

[Zac] [moans] I'm right here.

[Andi] Are you okay?

Are you safe? Are you hurt?

[Zac] I'm good. I'm good.

Freeze! Police, freeze!

Freeze! Where are your arms?
Freeze!

Hands where I can see them!

My hands are tied.

Pulse check on that one.

[police radio chatter]

Don't move.

I called you, man. Calm down.

Get down on the ground.

You can't be serious.

[Andi] Zac, just do
what they say, please.

This some -- bullshit, bro.

Stupid-ass cops.
Y'all late as usual!

[light dramatic music]

-Are you two all right?
-Oh, thank God.

-Yeah.
-[sighs in relief]

[Green] You got a pulse
on that one?

That's the guy who shot Jasmine.

Yeah, and his stupid ass tried
to shoot me, but he missed.

Cuff him.

[dramatic sting]

[cars honking]
[Karen breathing heavily]

Come on, come on.

Breathe in. Breathe out.

Are you okay?

I just need to focus
on breathing.

-Okay.
-Oh.

-[moans painfully]
-Why is my phone not working?

What's happening?

What is going on? Huh?

Oh, --!

Karen.

It's okay.

Wait. It's okay.

It's okay. Just breathe.

What is all this traffic?

[sighs] I know. I don't...

[News anchor]
And if you are just tuning in,

Atlanta is experiencing
a citywide blackout.

What?

[News anchor]
Leaving tens of thousands

without power
and phone reception.

Ah!

[News anchor] Emergency crews
are working around the clock,

but restoration efforts

have been slow
due to construction.

Officials are urging residents
to stay indoors

-and avoid unnecessary travel..
-It's okay.

[News anchor] as traffic lights
remain out across the city.

Well, that explains
all this traffic.

Oh, God. Oh, my God.

Hurry, please. Hurry, hurry.

Okay. I'm trying, okay?

It's just, I'm going to get you
to the hospital, okay?

Come on!

Shit.

♪ My girls hold me down ♪

♪ When them boys mess around ♪

is a headache ♪

[dark hip-hop music]

So that's Gary crazy ex-wife?

Yeah.

So let me get this straight.

She stabbed that fool
at y'all fake wedding,

kidnapped you,
was going to try to kill y'all,

but her man killed her first?

Yeah.

That's crazy.

Shorty wasn't going to stop
until she got her lick back.

I never see a grudge that deep.

I just, I can't believe
it was her the whole time.

That's crazy. Yo, I was so off.

I can't wait
to tell Fatima about this.

And Hudson just shot her
like she was nothing, like...

Miss Barnes, uh, did you

have any contact
with the deceased recently?

No, not for a long time.

What about the suspect?
What did he want with you?

I guess it was because
of my connection with Gary.

It was a revenge plot
from years ago.

He alleged that Gary

was responsible
for his ex's passing.

-Kimberly Potter.
-Are you serious?

This is like
a -- soap opera, yo.

Mr. Taylor,
you and the suspect--

You keep calling him
a suspect, bro.

He shot her.

He tried to kill us
and was going to kill us.

He's far from a suspect.

[Green] I get that.

But it's just a formality
for right now.

[clicks tongue] A formality.

[Green] During the blackout,
what did you have to do?

Well, I grabbed him
and Gary helped.

He did?

[Zac] Yeah, yo.

He must have got free
and grabbed the gun

because I was choking
the shit out of this dude.

And Gary helped.
I should have did more.

Write that.
Make sure you write that.

I helped and I choked him out.
Write that down.

Yes.

You all right?

No.

I will be.
I just, I was so close to death.

I mean, Zac, if it wasn't
for you,

I don't know
what I would have done.

-I could have died tonight.
-Yeah, but you good now.

You're going to be all right.
Good.

You're lucky, Ms. Barnes.

If you didn't have
two friends like this,

it could have been a lot worse.

[Zac] We got you.

So what happens to him?

Him?

We'll be taking him down
to the station for booking.

After that, we'll let
the courts decide.

Wait, wait.
Are you sure he won't make bail?

No. There's too much evidence.

Um, I'm sure he'll get
a good defense attorney.

But the writing's on the wall.

You're safe now.

No one's going to hurt you.

But I need you two
to go down to the station

and talk to the detectives.

Whoa, whoa.
Why we got to go to the station?

They'll need
both your statements down there.

Why? I don't want to do shit
but go talk to my wife.

I'm out of here. Where my phone?

I'm going to no damn station.
You tripping.

[light dramatic music]

[hip-hop music]
[sirens wailing]

Okay, okay.
Just breathe, just breathe.

[Karen strained, pained moaning]

[Fatima] Just breathe, okay?
You got it.

-Oh, my God. What's going on?
-Oh, my God.

-I don't know.
-[screams]

Oh, my God. I got you.
I got you, I got you.

Come on. Just keep walking.
Just keep walking.

-Oh, my goodness. Ah, shit.
-Okay, okay.

Okay. Come on,
we're almost there.

You got it, you got it.
Breathe, breathe.

Okay. We're here.
Hey, somebody help.

-She's pregnant.
-Oh, my God.

Ma'am. Ma'am.

Hey, excuse me!

She's pregnant
and we need help now.

I understand. Have a seat.

-Have a seat?
-[Intake Nurse] Yeah.

The blackout's got us
all slammed.

Every bed's full right now.

What do you mean
there's no beds?

Listen, she is in labor
with twins.

Okay, yeah, we're doing the best
that we can.

Just have her sit down and I'll
get to you as soon as possible.

-Have a seat?
-Yeah.

You can have a wheelchair
if you need.

Just--I'll be with you soon.

Oh, my God.
Her water's already broken.

What are you going to do?

Deliver the damn babies
in the waiting room?

-Oh, my God.
-What do you want me to do?

Do you want me
to kick out the person

who's bleeding to death

because he accidentally
amputated his entire leg off?

Or should I kick out the person
who's on life support?

[moans]
Fatima, something's wrong.

Karen, I got you. Come on.

Let's go sit down. Come on.

Take it. There we go. Slow.

Slow, slow, slow, slow, slow.
I got you, I got you.

Karen. Karen. It's labor, okay?

And from what I hear,
it hurts like hell.

But you're going to be fine,
okay?

Something ain't right.
I know it.

I can feel it. I'm so cold.

Wait. You're burning up.

Hey. She's sick.
She's not just in labor.

Have you ever been pregnant?
It's just all part of labor.

Wait. I'll get her on a fetal
monitor as soon as I can, okay?

Okay. Well, can you get us some
water, ice chips, or something?

Sure.

Okay, Karen, Karen, Karen,
listen.

They're going to send a nurse.

She's going to bring
some water, okay?

Fatima, call my momma. Okay?

-Okay. Okay, okay.
-Call my momma.

And I'll call Zac and Aaron,
too, okay?

-Okay.
-Okay. Okay.

No, wait.

No, no, no, no. Don't leave me.

Okay. I won't, I won't.

Okay. I won't, I won't.

-I won't. Okay.
-Okay.

[dark hip-hop music]

Sabrina, Sabrina!
Wait, wait, wait!

Get off me!

Listen, I can explain.

Explain what?

I just saw you having sex
with Penelope.

I know what that looked like
in there.

I saw what I saw.

I... I know, but it...
We just started.

I barely put the tip in,
I swear.

You can't be serious right now.

I know I messed up.

We barely broke up 48 hours ago,

and you're already
getting it on with...

her, out of all people?

Listen, I just...

I just needed a distraction
from you.

Read a damn book, Rich!

I know I probably shouldn't
say this right now--

[Sabrina] No, you shouldn't!
You should be quiet.

But it's like you said.
We did break up.

Is there some unwritten rule
where we have to wait

a certain time period
before I'm allowed to move on?

Most normal human beings
with a heart do.

I've been going crazy
thinking about you.

And, yes, you're right.
Maybe I should've waited.

Waited what?

To have sex with someone else?

Look, I'm sorry, okay?

I messed up, and I'm so sorry
you had to see that right now.

Whatever, Rich.

Whatever. I don't care anymore.

Look, I can't stop thinking
about you.

Uh-huh. Okay.

So sticking your penis
inside of Penelope

was gonna do the trick?

Okay, you're right.

Maybe my way of coping with
our breakup wasn't the best.

But can we...
can we at least talk about this?

Talk? [chuckles]
Talk about what?

Us. You know, I'm actually...

I'm actually glad you walked in
on this.

I'm glad you stopped it.

[R&B music]

So there was
a citywide blackout.

That's why the lights went out.

Luckily for us, there are
backup generators here.

Who knew?

I just thought you didn't pay
your electricity bill

and they were giving you
a nudge.

First of all, I'm an adult.
I pay my bills on time.

I mean, I don't pay
my student loans,

but that's because
I'm not paying

for a pointless education.

They owe me.

What's on your mind?

I'm just thinking
about my situation.

That's all.

[Danni] Okay.

Let's figure it out.

I wish there was something
to figure out.

They gave me an ultimatum.
It's either I move to Alaska

to work for the company
or I have to quit.

I'm just trying to figure out
whose bright idea it was to send

-a Black man to Alaska.
-That's just it.

Nobody wants to move to Alaska,

so as a punishment,
they're gonna send me.

Damn. That's cold.

Damn, you're gonna be cold.

Well, I haven't decided yet,
so...

All right, we can figure it out.

What are you thinking?

Well, for starters, you know,

if we go, we gotta find
a community.

-"We"? You keep saying "we."
-[Tony] Yeah, us.

Alaska will see no parts
of my glorious Black ass.

Come on, it won't even feel like
Alaska if we do it together.

Babe, you thought
that sounded good, didn't you?

I'm just trying to find
the positive.

You know they have, like,

six months
of complete darkness there?

I heard, I heard.

I don't need
all the bad Alaska facts.

I mean, don't nobody want
to live like some snow vampire?

And if Russia would ever get
any bright ideas,

Alaska's on
the chopping block first.

[Tony] All right.

Sarah Palin says she can see it
from a porch.

Let's not get carried away,

and she can't see him
from the porch.

I just, that's what she said.

I mean, she was a dingbat,
but...

What about Black folks, huh?

I don't ever see any Black
travel content creators

posting selfies from Alaska.

I don't never see Black people
in snowshoes.

-Do you?
-[scoffs] No.

It's very much so giving,

"Keep y'all Black asses
over there."

So that's what I'm gonna do.

This Black ass
is gonna stay here.

So, if I go...

You go alone.

[chuckles] You really gonna
let me live in Alaska

-by myself?
-Absolutely.

Who you gonna cheat on me with?
Polar bear?

Mrs. Claus?

Reindeer?

I heard Vixen's a thot.

I'm glad you're having fun
with this.

I am. It's kind of funny.

Somebody should.

You're at least gonna visit me,
right?

Wait, you serious?

[Danni groaning lightly]

I mean, we barely claim Alaska
as a state.

Come on, it's just
for, like, a year.

All right, I'll go.

Get back in good graces
with the airlines.

And then I'll move back.

So you wanna do long distance?

I'm at least putting it
on the table.

Well, I'm taking it off
the table

because I don't do
long distance, so...

[light R&B music]

[light dramatic music]

[Andi breathing stressfully]

-[Zac] Yo.
-Thanks for walking me up.

Ain't shit.

And, um...

Thanks for tonight.

You really had my back.

Yo.

We friends, yo.
That's what friends are for.

Yeah.

Yo, you...
You gonna be all right?

Because at the station,
you looked a little out of it.

I guess I'm just still shaken up
about everything, you know?

Been through a lot, so...

But think about it.

Real soon, it's gonna be a thing
of the past.

Would you mind looking around?

Sure.

Okay.

But can I at least know
who you're afraid of?

Gary? Did you see him
at the police station?

Over there shivering and shit
like a little baby?

For the life of me, I can't
even believe that he stepped up

to help with Hudson.

to help with Hudson.

Yeah, but I...

There's something about it.
I just still don't trust him.

Please.

-Got you, girl.
-Thanks.

[Andi] Anything?

Hm-hmm.

-You all good.
-Oh, good.

[Zac] Mm-hmm.

Uh, Zac, um, serious question.

What's up?

Do you think I should get a gun?

Andi, don't let my girl
influence you.

I mean, she's not wrong.

I mean, look
at what happened tonight.

I feel like I should just be
prepared for anything.

Let's just think about it.

Jasmine's dead.

Hudson is going to jail,
and Gary, like...

He couldn't even look at me
at the precinct.

Exactly.
Because he's an insecure dude

who thought he was gonna do
big-man shit,

but found out real quick
he ain't about that life.

Maybe this will change him
for the good.

It may, it may not, but that's
not your problem anymore.

True.

Mm.

Um, another question.

What's up?

Have you been that close
to death before?

-Right. Yeah.
-Andi.

Mm-hmm. You're right.

-Mm-hmm.
-Okay, well, tell me.

How does it make you feel?

Wow. Um...

In the past,
I really ain't care.

But, uh...

Today, I was actually scared
as shit.

Like, I don't want to die.

Like, I got so much more
to live for now, so...

Yeah, I don't want
to die either, and I...

Tonight was just too close.

But you didn't.

That means God ain't done
with us here on this Earth.

Yeah, you're right.

I can't believe I'm about
to say this, but, uh...

This ain't nothing
a little prayer and therapy

can't get rid of. [chuckling]

Wait.

You pray?

Yeah, I pray.

You pray?

-Once in a while.
-Uh-huh.

Like, once or twice.

-A year.
-[Andi] Oh.

But that's not the point.
God know my heart.

The point is,
you gonna get through this.

[light pleasant music]

Oh, shoot. Um...

I am sure Fatima
is worried about us.

-Oh, shit.
-Oh, my gosh.

I gotta charge my phone.

Okay. Uh, wait.

I thought you charged it
at the station.

I tried, but the little
Dudley Do-Right-ass cop

ain't know what he was doing,

and he ain't have
my charger plugged in.

Mm. Okay.

Oh! Try that one. Right there.

Okay.

[Andi] Is it working?

No.

Hmm. That's strange.

Um, try the one in the bedroom.

-It's right-- Yep.
-That?

[light pleasant music]

You're glad that I stopped you

from having sex with Penelope?

Yes, because I know
I shouldn't have

taken it that far with her
in the first place.

And you walking in
put an end to all of that.

This is insane, Rich.

And why her?

Out of all people!

You guys... You guys
grew up together, right?

You've practically known
each other your whole lives.

Yeah, but I mean, that--

[Sabrina] "Yeah, but..."

Is this the first time you guys
have been messing around, or--

I swear it's the first time.

I don't believe you.

I'm telling you the truth.

Were you
attracted to her before?

No. No, I've never looked
at her like that before,

I swear.

Until tonight?

Look, I've never...

I've never done anything
like that, okay?

I...
Look, I'm cool with her brother.

[Sabrina] Hmm.

I'm not cool with her like that.

It was just...
It was... It was just...

-Look--
-Stop.

[Rich] It was just a random...

Talking random?

Whatever.

-Look--
-Whatever, whatever.

I don't like her like that,
I swear.

I don't like her like that,
I swear.

Yeah.

It was just something to do
to get my mind off of you.

I promise.

-Oh, shit.
-"Something to do," huh?

[light tense music]

-Oh, my God.
-[Karen moaning]

So somebody just checked out,
so I bumped Miss Mott up,

so she'll be the first to secure
the next room.

Thanks.

[Intake Nurse]
Did you talk to her doctor yet?

I tried, but it's hard to reach
anyone with this blackout.

Okay, well, no worries,
because Dr. Cruise

is one of the best here,

and he's delivered
so many precious babies.

No! No, no. I want my doctor.

I want my doctor.

Karen, I don't know if that's
an option at this point.

No!

Don't worry, you're gonna
love him, trust me.

Okay, well, can he come
see her now?

Uh, no.

You'll just meet him
when she's in her room.

Fatima, something is wrong.

No, no, no, no, no, no.

Fatima, something is wrong.

Karen, don't think like that,
okay?

I'm so cold.

You're just still burning up.
No, no, no.

-Something is wrong.
-No, no, no.

-You're strong, okay?
-I can feel it.

-[Fatima] Karen.
-Oh, no. I can feel it.

Call Andi, okay?

-Okay.
-[Karen] Call Andi.

[strained breathing]

-Pick up, pick up.
-[Karen moans painfully]

-Karen?
-Oh, God.

-[Andi] You have reached Andi.
-Shit.

[Andi] Leave a message.

[R&B music]

I'm telling you, long-distance
relationships never work.

-Never.
-That's not true.

And it'll only be for a year,
Danni, a year.

And if we stay committed,
you know,

it'll go by
faster than you think.

Okay, now we're long-distance
relationship experts?

Actually, I am.

How's... Oh.

-Your raggedy ex-wife.
-Relax. [chuckles]

Look, and she was
in the military, and we--

Okay, she was in the military.

Liberty and justice for some.
Red, white, and blue.

Got it.

Look, I only brought it up
because I learned

a lot about how to manage
a long-distance relationship

when we were together.

Tony, how did that work out
for y'all?

I'm just saying.

Y'all are divorced, so you
kind of proved my point.

Long-distance relationships
do not work.

Danni, you know damn well

she and I broke up for
completely different reasons,

all right?

And if two people really love
each other,

like we do, we can make it work.

So, how often are you coming
to visit me in Atlanta?

Well, if I take the job,

I will come back
at least once a month,

-and then you can come every--
-See, you're not...

I'm not coming to Alaska, okay?

I'm not going.
I'm not going to Alaska.

It's Alaska.
It's not Mars, all right?

It might as well.

[phone ringing]

You're not gonna answer that?

Hm-hmm, because I need you
to make a decision.

Tonight.

I mean, I would like to know if
I'm single tomorrow, you know?

-Um...
-What di--

Are you saying that you're
breaking up with me

if I go to Alaska?

I'm saying
I don't do long distance.

Okay.

I get it.

You don't want to do
long distance, all right?

I'm not exactly jumping for joy
at the situation either.

But if I don't take the job,
I really don't know

how I'm gonna stay on top
of all my responsibilities.

Tony, you are not giving
yourself enough credit.

You're experienced.
You're good at what you do.

You're smart.

You were a VP.

You might find
something better than Alaska

way sooner than you think.

I just doubt that
with this job economy, but...

You know what?

You just got
that big settlement check,

so you Mrs. Money Bags.

We could live off that
for a while.

Tony, that is my rainy day fund,
not your escape plan.

Okay.

I was just messing with you,
alright?

I just wanted
to see how you reacted.

-Now you know.
-Okay.

I might need
to hold something up.

[clears throat] Tony,

I know that you are trying
to figure this out,

so, just know, if you feel

like this is something
you've got to do, then...

I understand.

I just don't want

to make a decision
and end up losing us over it.

Well, maybe... I don't know.

I don't know, just maybe,

if we have sex, the answer
will come to us, huh?

Yeah.

Let me take this jacket off.

[Karen moaning painfully]

[Fatima] Just breathe, okay?
Just breathe.

I'm gonna go talk to her, okay?

-Just breathe.
-Okay, okay, okay.

Okay.

Hey, you said
a room would be ready.

-Did you not?
-Ma'am, calm down.

We're preparing it now.

That was over an hour ago,

and what about
the fetal monitor?

For the millionth time,
things are slower tonight

-because of the blackout.
-You know what?

Y'all are really starting
to test my patience here.

Well, maybe you should
just breathe it out.

Calm down, Fatima. Calm down.

Look, I'm sorry
that you're frustrated, okay?

Look, I'm sorry
that you're frustrated, okay?

I don't like seeing
all these people in pain either.

Well, it sure is starting
to seem that way.

Well, you're wrong.

Listen, she's having chills.
That isn't normal labor.

You know, pregnancy just makes

the body experience
all sorts of things.

No, no, no, she's saying
something's wrong,

and I believe her.

Okay, well, she's not gonna die.

Why would you say that?

Because I know that's what
you're thinking.

But I'll get someone to come

and check how far dilated
she is, okay?

Yeah, and how many hours
is that gonna take?

We'll get to you
as soon as possible.

Thank you.

-Come on, Zac, pick up.
-[Karen moans]

Pick up.

[Voicemail] Please leave
a message at the tone.

Shit. Come on, it's okay.

What did she say?

They're gonna send
a doctor over, okay?

-Okay. Okay.
-Okay, okay.

[Fatima] You got it.

-It hurts so bad.
-No, no, no, no, Karen.

Look at me. Look at me, Karen.

Look at me.

I am not gonna let anything
happen to you, okay?

I promise. Okay?

-All right?
-Okay.

Okay, just breathe, okay?

I got you. Just breathe.

Just squeeze my hand
if it hurts you.

Okay.

[tense music]

Yo, Andi,
I think I'ma hit it, yo.

Andi, you good?

Andi, I'm gonna have to come get
my phone.

[light playful music]

Yo. I was calling your name,
because you--

Oh, my fault. I didn't even...

Ah, shit. I didn't see nothing.

-Zac, go.
-No, no, no.

Yes, go.

That was weird.

First of all, it's my fault.

I called your name out.

And I went in, I should've just

waited till you came out.
That's my fault.

-You think?
-[Zac] It's my fault.

Just forget everything

from your memory
that you just witnessed.

-Already done. Mm-hmm.
-Perfect.

Um, yo, why were you in my room?

Oh, I'm sorry.

It's... My head's all over
the place.

Um, right. Uh, did it charge?

Yeah, I got a little bit
of juice.

Good. Good.

You gonna be all right?

I'm great. I'm perfect.

[chuckles] Are you okay?
Are you good?

-I'm good.
-[Andi] Good.

-You know, I'm just...
-[Andi] Great. Great.

Wondering why Fatima ain't sent
her goons to look for me yet.

-[chuckles]
-[chuckles] About that.

Fatima, um, I don't think
it's necessary

to express to her
what you saw tonight.

Saw what?

-Exactly.
-Is that it?

Good start. [chuckles] Yeah.

All right.
Um, thanks again for tonight.

Mm-hmm.

Um, uh...

-I'm gonna...
-[Andi] Yeah.

I'm gonna go. You good, right?

I'm good. I'm good.

-Um...
-Matter of fact, let me...

I'm gonna call her.
I'm gonna wait downstairs.

-[Andi] Yeah, yeah.
-Will... Will...

You got...
You got reception here?

-Because it won't call out.
-Usually.

You know what?

It's probably
because of the blackout.

Right, right, right. Oh, shoot.

-I got your other phone, too.
-Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah. Oh.

Mm.

-It's dead?
-It's dead.

Oh, my work phone. I got it.

I have 10 missed calls
from Fatima.

Ten missed calls?
You gotta call back.

Yeah, I know. I... Okay.

Damn it.

[Zac] What?

I don't have any reception.

[suspensive music]

I'm trying to cool you off,
okay?

I'm so sorry for the wait.

Is this Miss Karen Mott?

Yes, it is,
and she's in a lot of pain.

Hi, Karen. I'm Rhonda.

You've been having some pretty
tough contractions, I heard.

Yes.

She keeps saying something's
wrong, and she has the chills.

Okay, well, let's get her
to a room ASAP.

I'm gonna check
to see how far along she is,

and then I'll connect her
to a fetal monitor, okay?

-Okay. Thank you.
-Okay.

Okay. I'll be all right, okay?

-Okay.
-Okay.

She's bringing the chair
over now.

-Okay. Okay.
-Okay. Thank you.

Oh, Rhonda, where are you taking
the patient?

Room 114.

Well, I was actually about

to put another patient
in that room,

so if you could just--

I am taking Miss Karen Mott
to room 114.

But if they could just wait
for room 122,

because that's being cleaned
right now.

Thank you, but room 114 will do.

You can follow me.

[Fatima] Thank you. Okay.

Easy. Easy, Karen.

Easy. All right?

Yeah. I got you.

Okay.
Okay. Can you get behind her?

I got you. All right.

[Rhonda] Be careful. Watch out.

-There you go.
-[Karen] Okay.

-Slow. Slow. Slow.
-[Karen] Okay.

Okay.

[Fatima] Where were you
an hour ago?

Okay. We got this.

-[Fatima] Come on.
-[Karen screams]

[Fatima] It's okay.
I'm with you, okay?

I'm with you, okay?
Just breathe, just breathe.

-I got you, I got you.
-[Karen] Okay, okay.

So what are you trying to say,
Rich?

Can you just go back inside,
please?

Yeah, you need
to go back inside.

I can't even stomach
looking at you.

Well, I'm not going back inside.

And it was just sex, Sabrina.

-P, please, go back inside.
-No.

I am not the enemy here.

You kissed me first, Rich.

[huffs] But you knew
that I was with him.

And, Sabrina, you broke up
with him.

And now why do I even care?

We are not friends.

Listen, can y'all just...
Let's just--

[Women] Shut up!

You know what?
You're right, Penelope.

I would never, ever be friends
with someone like you.

Like me?

Says the woman who --
her sperm donor.

Have you been pillow-talking
about me?

P, please, go back inside.

If you don't stop telling me
to go back inside...

You are a grown-ass man
who can make your own decisions.

Yes, you're absolutely right.

And he made the wrong one.

I said it was just sex.

Well, actually, we didn't

even really get into it
that much,

-so can we really--
-[Women] Shut up!

You know what?

You guys can have each other.

I don't even know
why I'm wasting my time.

Sabrina, wait, wait, wait--

Get off of me, Rich!

Let her go, Rich.

-We're not done.
-Penelope.

Excuse you?

You heard me.

You clearly cannot handle him.

So I will.

Seriously, P.

You know what?

You guys deserve each other.

Because y'all...

[sniffs] Ugh.
Y'all reek of desperation.

It's okay.

-Just breathe.
-[Lisa] Oh, my gosh.

Hey, baby. I'm so sorry.

I got hung up in that blackout.

Honey, it's okay. Mommy's here.

-Okay.
-[Lisa] Okay.

[Lisa] How are you feeling?
You okay?

No. No.

We've been waiting
for a doctor to see her.

Well, baby, you know, I know
you're in pain.

But that's part of the process,
because--

No, no, no!
Something's wrong, Mama!

Something is wrong!

Miss Lisa, she's been saying
that since we got here.

Has anybody else
been saying that?

I got cool with this Black nurse
named Rhonda,

but she says we have to wait on
Dr. Cruise to see her.

-Well, where's Dr. Cruise?
-I have no idea.

-Fatima?
-Yes?

-Did you call the girls?
-Karen, I did.

Listen, no one's answering.
Not even Zac.

But I sent everybody voicemails.

Well, I called Aaron,
and Aaron's on his way.

[Fatima] Okay. Just breathe.

Okay.

-Karen, right?
-[Karen] [painfully] Yes.

Let's see what's going on.

How's the pain? Scale 1 to 10.

One hundred, doctor.
One hundred.

What?

I see some blood, but that
is completely normal.

I see some blood, but that
is completely normal.

But there's bleeding.

Shouldn't you get an ultrasound
to see what's going on?

No. No need.

-Okay, but what about her fever?
-That's normal.

She'll be fine.

[Fatima] Okay, but, doctor,
it's--

It's all a part of pregnancy,
ma'am.

Nothing to worry about. Okay.

We were able to obtain

your medical records
from your OBGYN, and...

Huh. Looks like
you're carrying twins.

Two different fathers. Wow.

Are they here?

No, they're not, but one
of them is on the way now.

[chuckles] And the other one?

Both fathers are present,
doctor,

if that's
what you're referring to.

I'm sure he'll show up
at some point.

I'm sorry.

What does this have to do
with the health of my daughter

and the health of her babies?

I just want to know
who's next of kin.

Well, why would you ask that?

We'd like to know who to talk to
in case she's out of it.

Well, how about you talk to me?

Are my babies okay?

Your babies are fine.

Right now, it's a waiting game.

We need your cervix
to dilate to about

four or five centimeters before
we can get you that epidural.

Hang tight.

Thanks.

Karen.

Oh, my God.

[sweet R&B music]

[Andi] Damn it.

I don't know what's going on
with my phone.

I'm telling you,
it's the blackout.

That's what it is.

And if Fatima called
more than three times,

I know something's wrong.
Yo, you gotta call her back.

Or maybe... Maybe she's just
worried about me.

-You know?
-Yes. That's what it is.

Oh, oh! I can check
the voicemails.

Here it is, okay?

[Fatima] Hey, Andi.
I'm so worried.

Look, I've been trying
to reach you.

I sent Zac to find you.
I hope you're okay.

[chuckles] Told you.

-She doesn't play about me.
-We know that.

That's my girl.
Oh, there's another one.

Okay.

[Fatima] Andi, seriously,
where are you?

Call me ASAP.

I swear, if Gary did something
to you,

I'm gonna kill him myself.

Yeah, I'm starting
to think y'all two

got a little more
than a work relationship.

-She seen you naked?
-Too soon.

Nah, I'm just saying,

like, because now I seen both
of y'all naked,

so I understand.

Shut up, Zac.

Okay, there's one more. Hold on.

Let's see what this is about.

[light suspensive music]

Get it together, Brina.

He is not worth it.

She is definitely not worth it.

Forget them both.

So, you have your answer now?

Baby, I am more confused now
than I was before.

[both chuckling]

Hey, what was that thing you did
with your tongue?

Something you're not gonna get
in Alaska.

[Fatima] Hey, Karen's in labor.

We're at Vanguard Hospital,
room 114.

Listen, I hate to say this,
but something is off with Karen.

She looks very sickly.

She's running a fever, vomiting,
and there's a lot of blood.

Look, I don't know
what's going on,

but I don't think
this is normal.

Look, I know this blackout
has our phones acting crazy,

but if you get this,
come to the hospital quick.

[Both] We gotta go.

[tense music]

Come on, come on.

Go, go, go, go, go, go, go.

Oh, okay. Okay.

-Everything all right?
-No, no.

Karen is in the hospital.

I guess she's delivering babies.
I don't know.

I gotta go.

Fever, blood, chills.

I didn't experience any of this
when I was in labor.

Yeah, and I've been reading
so many books on labor

and the many turns it can take.
But these symptoms?

Yeah, they all seem to be
pointing to something serious.

Yeah, I just,
I hope we're overreacting.

I hope so.

I'm here. I'm here.

I didn't miss anything, did I?
Because traffic was insane.

What's going on?
Is everything okay?

We don't know.

What do you mean you don't know?

[music intensifies]

[Woman] Next on Sistas...

-Drive!
-Hello? Duh!

What the hell is going on?

[Andi] Where is Karen?
Is everything okay?

I'm sorry, bleeding?

It just seems like more
than normal labor.

-Yeah, that don't sound right.
-She's getting worse.

And her doctor's an asshole.

He said that everything she was
going through was normal.

We have
to do something about this.

-It hurts.
-I'm sure it does.
