Are you having an affair with Myron?

I am not attracted to him or any other man.

Rasheda, I love you.

Got you something.

Do you really want to be with Javon that bad?

It's the way he makes me feel.

You just trying to find something on William

so you can feel better about this whole Javon situation.

Does my husband have your number already?

No, I don't think so.

Vaughn, please, please. No, Vaughn.

Bye, Bridgette.

Vaughn, wait, Vaughn.

[gunshot] [yelps]

No, wait, wait, Vaughn.

No.

Vaughn.

Vaughn.

[tense music]

It's okay.

Myron, get Sheriff Lutz on the phone right now.

Okay. Okay.

Give him Bridgette's number and tell him to trace it.

[Myron] Okay.

[Bridgette] I can't believe-- I can't believe it.

[Rasheda] You're not responsible for that.

I can't, I can't do this. Oh, my God.

I can't, I can't, I can't, I can't.

It's okay.

I can't, I can't breathe.

I can't, I can't breathe.

[Rasheda] Water, please.

I can't-- God, I can't breathe.

-Thank you. -Shh.

It's okay.

Rasheda, did-- Did he--he just--

-It's not you fault. -I can't believe this.

I've got the sheriff on the phone.

What happened?

Not right now.

[Bridgette] He, he, he shot himself.

What?!

Myron, we don't need you right now.

-Okay? -I'm sorry.

[Rasheda] Thank you.

[Bridgette] Oh, my God. No, he's not.

He shot himself.

[whimpers]

Oh God, God...

Okay. Okay.

[whispering]

[Rasheda] You have to breathe, okay?

No, I don't know his last name.

Who are you talking about?

Vaughn. The guy Bridgette was dating.

-I don't know it either. -Can you ask her?

Okay.

Yeah.

Pastor needs Vaughn's last name.

Bridgette?

-Simpson. -Simpson.

Okay. Okay.

-Simpson. -Thank you.

Okay, can you triangulate the data?

No, we don't know where he was.

Uh, yes.

How long?

That long, huh?

Okay, yeah, no, all we heard was the gunshot.

He just killed himself.

Let me ask you something.

Has he ever talked about suicide before?

Mm-mm.

-No? -No.

-Never? -No.

Any signs of depression?

No, none that I-I saw.

He just...

He just killed himself, Sheda.

He killed himself.

We don't know that for sure.

But you heard the gunshot.

You, you heard it.

Calm. Breathe, breathe.

[Geneva] Okay, take your time. Take your time.

They're trying to locate him, okay?

Okay.

No talk of, um...

no talk of suicide or signs of depression.

What does this mean?

It means it could just be a cry for help.

W-w-what?

[Pastor Jefferson] Yeah. I mean, but look, let's--

-Are you kidding me? -Bridgette, listen.

-Listen. -Calm down.

Please, it's okay.

Look, let's just give it a minute.

All right?

Let's just wait and see what happens, OK?

[stammers] I-I-I...

I can't do this.

I can't. Mm-mm.

I can't do this.

We're right here with you, okay?

Just calm down.

You gotta breathe.

I just...

I hate it.

He just, he just, he just killed himself.

Y'all, um, I don't really think so.

How?

How do you not think that, Pastor Jeff?

Did you hang up the phone?

What?

That's right.

Oh, my God.

Uh-uh-- Are y'all kidding me?

What?

Who hung up the phone?

What? Yeah.

He, he did...

He hang--

He hung up.

Yeah.

And you can't hang up the phone if you--

Right. Yeah. It's very hard to do that.

Very.

And shoot yourself at the same time.

Mm-hmm...

Let me find out there's some kind of game.

Let's, let's just be sure, okay?

I think it is.

He wants me to drop the charges on him.

Let me find out he playing games with me...

I'ma kill him myself.

You better pray for me, Pastor.

And get my bail money ready.

I'm--

Y'all.

Playing a life of destruction?

Yeah.

-[Naomi grunting] -[Hakeem choking]

What the fuck is wrong with you?

You taking this shit too serious.

Thats what the fuck I pay you for.

I told you when I tapped.

You stop, bitch.

I'm not him.

Don't you get that shit twisted no more.

You hear me?

What the fuck are you talking about?

Your ex!

You trying to fucking kill me and treat me like I'm him.

I know! Sorry!

Sorry.

Oh, shit.

Then damn it, stop trying to kill me.

Then fucking kill him.

Shit. Stop playing.

No.

Fucking kill him and kill her.

Naomi, take this shit off my fucking neck.

Turn around.

I'm serious.

That's a lot of heat.

I know.

I'm telling you what I want, Hakeem.

-Kill him. -Naomi.

No.

You call me Mistress Nay.

Well, Mistress Nay...

Hakeem, I know what I want.

Who is this dude?

Franklin Price.

That dude that builds all the buildings?

Yes.

Damn.

Hakeem, look at me.

I want this done.

I mean, that's... that's too high profile.

Make it look like an accident.

How?

I don't know. Something can fall on him

at the construction site or some shit.

How am I supposed to do that?

I'ma do you one.

I got 500K on his head.

-Damn. -Make it a million for both.

-Cash. -Dang it.

Well, look-- Well, hold on--

I--no.

No, Hakeem. No fucking hold ons.

How you gonna get that type of cash

without looking suspicious?

Hakeem.

I got it.

It's in a safety deposit box at the bank.

You get this done and I'll show it to you.

And that shit is all yours.

Okay. Okay. For real?

Yes, nigga. Yes. So when?

-When do you want it done? -Yesterday.

Well, look, me and my boys up--

You and your boys?

No, nobody can be involved in this shit.

Only you and me.

I ain't never got my hands that dirty.

Ugh!

You know, I knew you was a little bitch.

You think that's supposed to get me to do it, huh?

[Naomi] Give me my cigarettes.

So when would I get the cash?

I'm not giving you that money up front.

Nigga, you a street whore.

Well, you're not gonna get me to do it, then,

if you ain't gonna give me something.

Okay.

I'll show it to you.

And give me some of it?

I'll give you 10 grand.

10 grand? Something like that,

you gotta give me at least 10% up front.

For you to walk away with my shit?

I don't trust you like that.

I'm not gonna do that, though. Like...

How do I know that?

You don't.

Exactly.

So you in or no?

First show it to me, right?

Then we gonna discuss how we do this.

I'm done discussing. Get the fuck--

No, no, no. No, Hakeem.

-Get the fuck out. -Look, I'm trying to--

Get the fuck out!

I'ma slap the shit out of you if you keep

talking to me like that.

Man, you know I'd love that shit, too.

You know how this shit work already.

Hurry up.

[indistinct] on some bullshit...

Where is Bridgette?

Oh, hey. She was just here.

I didn't know you were here.

Yeah, I was just going over some stuff with Rasheda.

Okay, great.

We can all go to Naomi's, then.

Yeah, I'm just gonna have to head out separately.

I have to make a stop before I get there, so...

Where are you going?

Just a lot of stuff to do.

Work. Errands. Yeah.

Geneva, I want to talk to you.

About?

Are you avoiding me?

No, I'm not avoiding you. What do you mean?

Because I texted you five times today.

-So... -I saw them.

I've just been a little busy.

Okay, stop with this BS. Please tell me what is going on.

Nothing.

You don't want to talk about Javon?

Why is it that everything leads back to Javon?

What does he have to do with this?

There's nothing wrong.

I can tell that you don't want to talk about him.

What is it that I need to know?

For the umpteenth time, if there's anything about him

that you need to know,

you will find out if you need to find out.

[Tiffany laughs ruefully]

And that's it. Can you let it go?

Okay, you know, see, this? This right here.

This is what I'm talking about.

Geneva, is this about me

or the pretty lady that Anika talked about?

Okay, yes.

A lot of this has to do with the pretty lady.

Okay?

Okay, what's going on with that?

I know you don't let it go.

Well, you know me well, huh?

Yeah, well...

What happened?

There is a PTA meeting tonight,

and I guess I'll find out more then.

No.

No, it's not like you to wait this long.

Well, I didn't. I went to her job.

You didn't tell me that.

Probably just slipped my mind.

Geneva, if we were not in this church, we...

Oh, my God, I would cuss.

What is happening? Talk to me.

I wanted to record her.

What?

So I may have left my phone behind.

On accident.

That old trick we used to do in college.

I wanted to see if she was gonna call him.

And? Did she?

Well, she did call someone.

I just don't know who.

It's not William.

For his sake, I hope you're right.

He wouldn't do that.

I guess we'll see.

Where is Rasheda, anyway?

Hey, Geneva.

Stop avoiding me.

If I was avoiding you, I wouldn't be talking to you.

Oh, there she is.

-Hey. -Hey.

Where were you?

You won't believe this.

-Oh. Fill her in. -[Tiffany] What happened?

Well, Vaughn texted Bridgette

and said that he was about to kill himself.

I told her to call him back,

and then a gunshot went off.

-What? -Yeah, but we don't think

he actually did it because he hung up, so...

Yeah, it was real dramatic.

Right, 'cause if something happened,

then who would have hung up the phone?

Exactly.

[tense music]

Girl, that boy is too young, and we all knew it, okay?

-Yeah. -Okay?

She said she broke up with him.

Yeah, but we know Bridgette. Is she sure?

Yes.

Well, this has happened before.

I know.

And why can't she date a man her own age?

She's always dated younger men.

Yeah, I mean, at this point,

it's kind of getting creepy, though.

Geneva.

Oh, right.

What?

Oh, her memory is so short.

I can't.

What? What'd I do?

Before you met William and he was your one and only,

you used to love a younger man.

[Rasheda] Yes.

Look, younger men do it.

Mmm...

I mean, I may have juggled one or two,

but First Lady, you over there agreeing with me, huh?

I don't approve it for her, but I don't see anything wrong

with dating a younger man.

No. Nope.

I want a nice, mature man.

The one who farts in his sleep and wears a CPAP machine?

Geneva.

That was John.

I've grown.

I wonder if Javon wears a CPAP.

You just met him.

Why would you even be thinking about that?

Why wouldn't I?

So you're thinking about sleeping with him?

Maybe.

I don't want to hear about this.

Well, I think that you should wait at least a year.

Or if you get married again.

-If? -[Geneva] Yeah, if.

-[Tiffany] Wow. -Yeah.

Who is this?

-I said what I said. -Mm.

[Rasheda] Okay.

-Is he okay? -I'm so ticked off.

Is he okay?

He's at his cousin's house.

So what was the whole thing about the gunshot going on?

Fool pulled the trigger and shot out his car window.

And you think that this behavior is okay?

You was in there with me, Geneva.

No, I don't.

Bridgette, you need to leave him.

Oh, believe me, I have.

And not take him back this time.

Did you not just hear me say I left him alone?

Okay.

She said she left him alone.

I'm just glad he's okay.

He scared the fool out of me.

-Same. -[Bridgette] Sheda.

Yes, that's the same.

Okay, come on. Let's just go to Naomi's.

-Go to Naomi's? -[Tiffany] Yes.

After everything I just...

Do I have to go?

[Tiffany] Yes, Bridgette, you have to go.

Why don't we all just ride together?

I'll drive separately.

I have to make a stop after, so I will be closer anyway.

[Bridgette] Yeah, but it don't make sense

when we can all just ride together.

It's me.

What? What did I miss?

-It's not you. -Yes, it's me.

For some reason, this woman

doesn't want to be around me all of a sudden.

Tiff, I don't think that's true.

Right?

It is.

How about we just go?

[Tiffany] Okay, I'll ride with you.

You're gonna need a bodyguard 'cause Naomi is mad at you.

Oh, shit.

God forgive me.

She ain't call me back, so...

[Tiffany] Yeah, 'cause she's mad at you.

I'm gonna have to pray about that later.

He shot out his car window, girl.

I told you to leave him alone.

[Bridgette] Them little boys...

Are you okay?

Yeah, man, I'm fine.

How's your arm?

-Myron. -What?

Look, it's fine, okay?

It's not nearly as bad as Lindsay's, all right?

Yeah.

Matter of fact, I really need to get down to the hospital,

-check on her. -Okay, I'll take you.

No, I'll go myself.

Pastor, look.

I'm so sorry about this morning.

Yeah, you know what? It's fine.

-[Myron] No, no, no. -Mm-hmm.

We never had a chance to talk about it.

Because maybe I don't want to talk about it.

She didn't really think I...

Of course she did. You called me baby, Nick--

Man, man.

I promise you.

I thought I was dialing Denise.

Yeah, you must have been.

'Cause there's no way in hell you were dialing me.

Oh, no, sir.

God, I was so embarrassed.

You should have been.

You know, I'm gonna talk to First Lady about it.

-No, don't do that. -Why not?

I said it's not a good idea.

-She's fine. -Are you sure?

Myron, I said leave it alone.

Okay. Yes, sir.

Well, you two seem to have had a great night.

Yeah, we did. It was fantastic.

What happened?

Myron, you're really working up my nerves.

I'm sorry, sir.

I just really like to see you guys happy.

Well, it's better than it was before, so thank you.

We just pushed past some rough stuff, you know?

-Rough stuff? -Yeah.

I told you we were going through a rough patch.

And we're good now.

-Just like that? -[chuckles]

It's amazing how God works, right?

-Praise God. -Praise God.

You know what else is amazing, how God works?

What's that, sir?

I am actually sitting here talking to you

after you called me baby.

Don't you got some work to do?

-Yes, sir. -Okay.

[R&B music]

-[Tiffany] Okay. Tell me. -[Geneva] What?

Why Geneva is acting so strange towards me.

-Tiffany. -You know.

And you can't lie.

You should talk to Geneva.

She's just putting all this distance

between us all of a sudden, so.

-As is-- -I ain't noticed that.

Well, Sheda sees it.

Do you?

Maybe she's got a lot on her mind.

Well, that could be true.

No. No, because she usually tells me

when she has something on her mind.

Look, I don't think I can help you.

Okay, so you're just gonna leave me in the dark.

Did you try calling Vaughn?

Don't change the subject, Rasheda.

We're still concerned about him.

You think I should?

I'm asking because I want to know how you feel about it.

I'm mad that he would do something like that.

Stupid self.

Well, he's young, so.

Hold up.

'Cause I know older men who do just as stupid things.

Okay, to this extent?

You know, let's not talk about him and his age, please.

-[Tiffany] Okay, okay, okay. -Thank you.

So we will talk about everyone and anything

except for what you want to talk about.

Is that right?

-Look, Naomi is a... -[Tiffany] Uh-uh.

Stop changing the subject.

This is serious, Tiff.

Okay, I'm gonna pretend that nothing else is.

[Rasheda] Tiffany, come on.

No, we can multitask, Rasheda.

We do it all the time.

I'm a realtor. You run a church.

Geneva is a lawyer.

We navigate. It's what we do.

They're leaving to Italy in less than a month.

I can't keep Anika if she's gonna be treating me like this.

Well, then I can keep her.

Yeah, I think that might be best.

I mean, y'all know I love my niece.

I can keep her. I'll take care of her.

I don't think you should do that.

What?

Bridgette, that man is gonna be back at your house.

Just what are you saying, Tiffany?

That he will be back.

No, he won't, okay?

Especially right after that stunt he pulled.

Okay, well, I think Rasheda should keep her.

Fine.

Everything's gonna be fine, y'all.

[knocking on door]

Jefferson?

How is she?

Sedated.

I am so sorry, again.

Jeff, if you are here to try and change my mind,

it is not gonna happen.

No.

I'm here to check on her.

Oh. Really?

I really am.

No.

No, I think you're here for the money, Jeff.

Frank, you've known me for a very long time.

Mm-hmm.

Which is exactly why I think you're here for the money.

No. I'm here because I truly care, man.

No, Jeff.

If you cared, you wouldn't

have allowed Naomi to have been there.

You know that her and Rasheda are friends.

Exactly.

It's fine.

No, it's not fine.

It's fine because I said it's fine.

I got something for her, too.

What are you talking about?

You heard me.

Look, Naomi, you know she...

Oh, no, no, no, no.

I'm not talking about that bitch.

So who are you talking about?

Your wife, Rasheda.

What are you saying to me?

She is going to get what is coming to her, too.

Franklin, that's my wife.

And this is my wife. Did you forget?

Look, I know you and Naomi have issues.

Oh. Is it that obvious?

Look, and you're angry. I get it.

-Mm-hmm. -I understand.

And you know better than anyone else,

when I am angry, I can be a motherfucking problem.

I'd appreciate it if you'd not use that language.

Mm.

Well, then you're really not

going to want to hear what I have to say next, Jefferson.

Franklin, my wife has nothing to do with this.

She is collateral damage, my friend.

Franklin.

Jeff, do you know what happens when a bomb goes off?

Everything and everybody within close proximity blow up.

Naomi is my enemy,

which makes Rasheda my enemy,

which makes you my enemy.

And I am about to blow this bitch up.

[sinister music]

[chuckles]

You know the hardest part about being a man of God?

People like you.

People who I have to try to be nice to.

People who I prayed with, consoled.

Who I've held when they were down.

Held? [laughs]

I'm not done.

You got jokes, huh?

See, you think just because I'm a man of God

that I can't be a motherfucker, too.

See, you take my kindness for weakness.

You think that just because I pray, that I don't fight.

But the Bible says to watch, fight, and pray.

Mm.

I believe it says an eye for an eye as well.

[Pastor Jefferson] And you know what else it says?

"The kingdom suffereth violence,

and the violent take it by force."

So if you harm my wife in any way,

you will become my enemy.

And you should really study your Bible

about how God handles the enemies of his children.

[Franklin] Mm.

[slow clap]

Preach on, Pastor.

I came here in peace to offer prayers and grace.

I don't want your prayers and grace.

But I'm leaving here, kicking the dust off my feet.

I pray that Lindsay gets healed.

And I pray that that evil hatred

growing inside of you would subside.

But if it doesn't, I pray you would learn

to channel it in the right direction.

Because if it comes near me or my house,

Franklin, I want you to hear me when I say this.

You will find yourself in the number of the slain.

Amen to that.

God bless you.

[sinister music]

-Let's go. -That was fast.

-Yeah. -You okay?

Yeah, I'm fine.

♪ We have somethin' [Somethin'...] ♪

[phone vibrating]

Hey, babe.

[Pastor Jefferson] Baby, I need to talk to you alone.

[Rasheda] Well, the girls are in the car.

Where y'all headed?

Uh, to see Naomi.

No, don't go there.

[Rasheda] What? Why?

Look, just have her come to our house, okay?

Uh, what's going on?

Look, just pick up, pick up the phone.

I did.

This is illegal.

I just left Franklin, and he was talking crazy.

What?

He was talking about coming after her and you.

-Me? Why? -I don't know.

Who can make sense of crazy?

Babe, it's gonna be okay.

[Pastor Jefferson] No, it's not okay.

I don't want you going over there.

Okay. Well, I need to check on Naomi.

But if you don't want me to go, then...

No, I don't. Have her come to our house.

What? You think it's that serious?

[Pastor Jefferson] I do.

Okay.

Well, let me, let me tell the girls.

You know what?

Matter of fact, I'm gonna come to y'all.

[Rasheda] She's not gonna let you in.

That's all right. We'll wait outside.

We're in the car right now. How far away are you?

Um, we're not too far away.

[Pastor Jefferson] All right. We'll be right there.

Babe.

Rasheda, wait for me.

[Rasheda] Okay.

What was that about?

He said that Franklin is threatening her.

Well, what else is new?

He, he sound concerned.

Wait a minute.

This is, this is going too far now.

I just...

Yeah.

It's getting out of control.

Somebody's gonna get hurt.

I know.

He's not coming over.

He doesn't want me to go alone.

So...

He thinks it's that bad?

Yeah.

And he's coming to her house?

He offered for her to come to our house, so...

Oh, yeah. Well, that's bad.

[Rasheda] Exactly.

He knows we're going to check on her,

so he wants to make sure everything is okay.

-Damn, Pastor Jeff. -I know, right?

[text chime]

He just texted me his ETA.

He's about 10 minutes out.

I don't like this at all.

What exactly did he say?

[Rasheda] He didn't really say much.

He just, he just said it wasn't good.

[rap music blaring]

Naomi, I'm coming in.

Where are your clothes?

Damn, you fine.

Where are your clothes?

-I'm sorry. -[Geneva] Bro? Damn.

I like to walk around naked.

What are you still doing here?

I was getting a sandwich.

Get your shit and get out.

Go.

I'm going.

Whoa. Whoa.

Yes.

All right.

Well, the girls are coming by, so--to see you.

And?

Don't you want to go change or something?

What for? What?

Naomi, this shit is crazy.

Go upstairs and take that shit off!

This ain't your shit, but fine.

I don't want that shit.

Go upstairs and take off your [indistinct] now!

Ugggghhh!

[Geneva] Ridiculous.

How did I get here?

I ain't think she listen to nobody.

Why are you still here?

You bitches is crazy.

Who you calling a bitch?

Naomi, hurry up! You're taking too long!

Naomi, listen, I'm not gonna be able to...

When did you get all this shit?

Why are you back in bed? Naomi?

What?

This shit is crazy. Get up and put something on.

-Why... -Naomi, look at me.

What?

I get it. Okay, Nini? I get it.

You're hurting a lot lately, right?

-[sobs] Yeah. -Yeah.

You've been a basket case, baby.

I know.

You like to shock people, but...

I know the real you.

Baby, we locked in, okay?

Listen, I know you've been hurting, right?

But I am not gonna be able to help you

if you keep doing this shit, okay?

Now, I'm going to need you to get up,

stop smoking all of this shit, okay?

Put some clothes on and come downstairs.

-Okay. -Okay.

Get up.

You got ten minutes before the girls get here.

Go take a shower and come downstairs.

You got me?

Yeah.

We locked in.

I got you.

I can't stand you, bitch. Get out of here.

-Don't touch me with that. -I want to.

-Please, bye. -You know you want it, girl.

You and William need some spice, girl.

[Geneva] Shut up.

Ten minutes.

-That's all you got. -Thirty.

[tense music]

Look, we're going to wait right here.

Is it really that serious?

What did he say?

Look, he kept talking about how Rasheda was the enemy

because she's friends with Naomi.

No, but we're all her friends.

Yeah, exactly.

But he kept talking about Rasheda.

Okay, Geneva, you need to call his lawyer and talk to him.

Wait, wait, wait. Let's just give it a day.

-No. -And see if he cools down a bit.

That won't work.

That won't work because they're both a little off.

Now, wait, y'all.

Y'all know we shouldn't be talking out here

because she's got eyes and ears everywhere.

Yeah, this shit is crazy, y'all. Let's go inside.

All right. We won't be long.

Okay, let's go.

He really thinks it's that serious?

Yeah, he want to stay.

Let him stay.

Come on.

[tense music]

Wow.

I told you it was a mess.

Yep.

Where is she at?

Upstairs changing.

You mean to tell me she ain't changed from last night?

Should we try to straighten up a little bit?

I don't even know.

How?

Finally found the time to come check on me.

Hey.

Hey.

I've been...

thinking about you and praying for you.

Well, that gives me comfort.

I just wanted to wait

and come and see you after you've calmed down.

But you went to the hospital.

Yes.

You went to the hospital before you came to check on me.

You want to be mad about it?

[Naomi] No, sis, I'm not mad.

I'm just...

knowing what you did.

You went there before you came to check on me.

Naomi, last night was... a lot.

Okay. And I'm...

I'm still human.

I just needed a minute to process all of this.

I mean, you...

You throwing that hot coffee on that woman in front of everyone?

-Okay. -And now I'm not done.

And now it's on the Internet?

It's only a matter of time.

I know the prosecutor saw it.

I mean, they've already called the church.

-Mm-hmm. -And the local news.

Bridgette is using all of her resources to try and...

help this thing die down.

But you know, with Franklin involved, it's...

it can only get worse.

So, excuse me for not rushing over here

to the person who caused this self-inflicted pain.

-Self-inflicted? -Okay, all right, let's just...

No, no, no. He's destroying my life.

But it's self-inflicted?

You keep living in the past.

No.

I don't think y'all know what it's like to go for a physical

and find out you have an STI.

He begged and begged me to come back,

and I forgave him.

You told us to come to your church

because you said you could help us.

I told you we would try to help.

You told me to pray and that things would be okay.

Yeah. It takes more than prayer, Naomi.

You told Tiffany to pray, and look how she turned out.

Hey, I'm fine.

No, you're not.

No.

You told me to have faith, and...

Well, yeah.

Well, faith without works is dead.

But you got to do the work.

Oh, sweetie, I did.

No.

I told you that you both needed to do the work,

and you didn't.

Baby, you are not the first woman to be hurt.

And you won't be the last.

But sitting in this and allowing this man

to take you deeper into this pain while he done

moved on ain't healthy for you.

No, no, no.

He ain't moved on.

Y'all saw the shit he did last night.

He's taunting me.

He has not moved on.

He baited you.

He baited you.

And you stood right down there with him.

And now look at you.

You're gonna have to appear before a judge

on assault charges.

Please.

Y'all should be glad I ain't facing a judge for murder.

Yeah, well, you better be glad.

[Naomi] I don't care. I don't.

Naomi, you've never been to jail.

It can't be no worse than what I'm already going through.

Oh, but it can be.

Look.

[Bridgette] Just you look, Naomi.

You are living in this beautiful house,

and you have...

You still have all of the...

You have your money.

You have...

Bridgette, Bridgette, Bridgette.

I know you think a big house is everything

'cause you ain't got one.

Oh, okay.

Stop. Stop. Stop.

-No. -No! What?

You know what?

Don't, don't, don't start.

-Bridgette? -No.

-What? -No. You know what?

Y'all can have this. I can't.

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

Bridgette, Bridgette, you are not running.

You are not running. Not this time.

[Bridgette] She always does this shit.

Okay. So let her get mad.

Tell her how you feel.

No.

You don't understand.

I'm not like y'all.

Okay?

I will go off, and I'll lose my motherfucking...

[Tiffany] No, no, no, no, no.

You can. You can. You can. You can, and you should.

Y'all all can stay calm with this foolishness,

but I got a limit.

She's pushed every single button.

I'm done. I'm done. I can't take no more.

No, no, no, no. Don't run.

[Geneva] Tell her how you feel.

You know what?

This is a nice house, and you are very blessed,

but unfortunately, you're not

gonna recognize it until it's too late,

because you and Franklin have given the devil too much space

in your anger and your sadness.

And now, you keep allowing this man to drag you deeper

and deeper and deeper and deeper into this dark place.

And unfortunately, sis,

you gettin' to a place where...

we...

we can't even reach you.

You're sinking, sis.

Y'all feel like that?

I'm drowning, I'm sinking.

What else you got for me, huh?

And according to my cameras,

why are Pastor Jeff and Myron outside kicking it?

He wanted to make sure I was okay.

Oh.

Okay, so now he cares?

-Okay, Naomi. -He does care.

Naomi.

Why are we doing this?

Why are we all pretending?

Y'all are here supporting me, but y'all ain't happy either.

What did I say?

[Naomi] Tiffany.

Hmm.

We'll start with you.

You met a man last night,

and you're already ready to get married to him.

-Mm-hmm. -Okay.

Is that all you got? Tell us.

Tell us how you feel.

No, I...

-Listen. -[Tiffany] Hmm?

I'm just saying, be careful, Miss Lonely.

Make sure you ain't gotta pay this one alimony.

Oh, no, you really don't wanna go here with me right now.

I did go there. I did. I got to.

She's so childish.

[Naomi] Wait a... I'm childish?

That's funny, Bridgette.

Where you meet your man?

In daycare? Preschool? High school?

Okay, what was he... What was he doing?

What else do you got?

-Pampers-- -What else do you got?

You wanna hurt us so bad?

Come on. What else?

-I'm telling y'all the truth. -[Tiffany] What else?

I'm telling you the truth.

My girl, Geneva.

Oh.

Let's talk about you.

My day one...

[Geneva] Tread lightly.

...hoe days was popping with you.

Don't act like it wasn't.

Remember when you told all of us that William was working

with a good five inches?

Oh, yeah, we remember that.

We know he ain't hitting it.

And we know you wanna leave him,

but you can't, because you need the dual income.

Mm-hmm.

You got any more?

Hmm.

My girl, Rasheda.

You look beautiful, by the way.

[Rasheda] Thank you.

But how's Myron?

Why don't you ask him?

I did. He's doing great.

And what would make you say that?

Well, I mean, every time he's on the phone,

he's kekeing with your husband,

talking about how much they love each other.

What are you talking about?

Stop it, Naomi, okay? That's enough.

No, no, no, no. Let her go.

What was that you were saying?

[Naomi] Well, I mean, we all know.

We all know that you're playing

this role that you're good and happy,

but we all know...

You know something's going on, sis,

but you just turn the other cheek.

You know what?

I don't even know why we friends with you.

You know that's not true. Are you, Rasheda?

Don't listen to this foolishness.

[Naomi] Wow...

You know what? We can settle that.

I got a little something for y'all,

because, you know, I got cameras in this entire spot, so...

No, actually, it'll look better on the TV.

Let me show you something, sis.

Okay?

Let's have a look.

I just love him.

And I know he loves me, but...

I'm tired of this.

Yeah, I'm with him now.

He comes in there holding her hand

just to make me jealous.

God, I can't take this.

I know. I know.

No, he wants me.

I know it.

Yeah, he's looking at me.

Look, I gotta get back in the car, okay?

No, he gets mad when he doesn't know who I'm talking to.

Okay, bye.

[Naomi] All right, well, that's the end of that.

So...after you see that, what you think?

Is your little Bible gonna...

save you from this one?
