Previously on Single Lady.

Wow.

It's all yours.

You're late.

Again. Oh, I haven't heard that tone since I left my mama's house.

And I don't miss it.

Here we go again, honey. You really need to let me handle this. Why?

So you can try to sell me to the highest bidder?

Babe, you're going big time with this opening, huh?

You can make a ton of side cash and all that.

Now it's the showtime and you guys are in here bickering like they do home.

tell her she's not the lead singer.

Get towards that car, didn't you?

That map didn't come from the hood.

I'm moving to London.

What?

Oh,

darn it.

No, no, it's not here.

Yes, I'm sure.

It was supposed to arrive this morning. That's why I'm calling you.

By the way, do y 'all have any larger sample sizes?

I know sample sizes are small, but the ones y 'all sent last week didn't even

look like a zero. It looked like a negative one.

Are you going to invite me in?

I have to call y 'all back.

What are you doing here?

Underneath this mess is a beautifully decorated home.

You know what?

I am not in the mood, Mr. O.

It's Omar. You come over here all uninvited, then start commenting and

everything like somebody asked you, and I... And I apologize.

Just show me where the skirts are you were supposed to deliver to me

and I'll be out of your hair. You came all the way to Buckhead to ask me that?

One, there's an assumption that I don't live in Buckhead that I really do not

appreciate. I'm sorry, do you live in Buckhead? No.

Second, Felicia is going to ask me if we're on schedule. And third, given your

sense of style...

I was just wondering what you did to your sister's exquisitely decorated

And now I can see you've done nothing.

Yay.

The scope didn't come.

What?

The scope didn't come.

Oh. Are you sure you ordered them?

Am I sure I...

You know what? I've got a bazillion things coming around in my mind right

and I don't have time to let you worry me. Not today.

I need those skirts. Yeah, then give me what I don't have. Omar.

Hey, you said Omar. Bye.

Have you seen Omar? Here he comes.

Good morning, Omar.

Felicia's been calling you all morning. It's been going straight to voicemail.

She's not happy.

Oh, I silenced it at the gym.

I forgot to turn it on. Let's see how far that explanation gets you.

You know her well, a woman whose face I've never seen before.

I'm Bronwyn, the temp for the day.

Here, though, sick.

Yeah, sick of a certain someone.

What?

Let the games begin.

Morning. Morning.

Bronwyn said that you... Which is it, Omar?

Was your phone off to purposely avoid me, or did you, the vice president of

business, just forget to charge it? I apologize.

It won't ever happen again.

And if it does?

I will fire myself.

You do know how to think like a boss.

New business staff meeting in ten.

Noted. A complete update right afterwards, please. You got it.

Aren't you going?

Why would I go to your staff meeting?

My what?

It's time to take the training wheels off, Omar.

The staff meeting is about new business.

Guess who has those exact words in his job title?

Oh, okay.

Okay.

Good. You see what I'm saying right here?

Yeah, that's it.

Okay.

So, Felicia will not be attending this meeting because she won't.

That being said, let's get down to business.

Triple threat.

How do we get these girls more air time?

more screen time, and create some social media madness.

Anyone?

Well, Felicia always starts with a recap of the last meeting.

Why don't we just start with that?

That's a very good question. I'm glad you asked. It's because I'm not Felicia,

and I'm not trying to be.

And if you have a problem, you can have a personal, private conversation after.

But right now, I need an answer to my question.

More screen time, more air time.

Who's got an idea so genius that it should be bottled and sold?

Should be looking at the screen, not me.

Hey, what's up?

What are you doing?

Just squeezing in a quick workout while I do some paperwork.

Wow.

That flight sucked.

Okay. Well, um, can you please take your junk and put it on your side, please?

Enough with the neat freak thing already.

Yeah, enough with the beautiful girl slob thing already.

Well, I heard it was beautiful, so I'll take the compliment. You would.

I'm surprised to see you back so soon. I thought you would have spent more time

at home.

I'm a Navy brat, remember?

Homeless with a suitcases.

So, how's your pops?

I don't want to talk about it. Listen, I'm going to be working out of the hotel

room today, so I just came to get a couple of things, and I will be out of

hair. I thought the whole purpose of you coming into the club was so you'd be

able to find a home here in Atlanta.

I haven't had time to look, but I will.

What does that mean? You stink. Are you going to be doing that here all the

time? Man, my gym closed down. I don't stink. Okay, well, find a new one quick,

Lucia. Hey, man, don't say it if I don't know what it means.

I don't stink.

Hey,

my bad. I slept in. Don't want to late all day.

Feed is never more admired than by the negligent.

What? Shakespeare. It means people who are always chronically late or lazy

always want to explain why.

So you call this meat to quote some old dead man don't mean nothing to me?

Your boy needs to clean up his mess.

You know, it's funny how anybody that grew up in bone homes always comes back

the hood when they need something.

Ain't that right, Raph?

You know what? Even though I'm saving souls, I'm not sadly stupid.

We both know you know where Malcolm is.

An innocent woman is about to do five years because she won't tell what she

knows. He needs to do something about that.

So you expect me to believe that you came down from your megachurch mountain

rescue one lost lamb?

Got to be more to the story than that.

Keisha Green would rather rot in jail than give Malcolm up.

And women only do something like that when they're stupid in love. So you need

to ask him a simple question.

Does he still love her? And even if he doesn't,

He owes her.

Keisha loves Malcolm.

Malcolm owes Keisha.

Got it.

Oh, hey.

Almost forgot to ask.

Still running that laundry service out the church?

I got regular cash that needs cleaning.

Even a good Christian girl like me knows when to say hell no.

Get ready for the fireworks, guys.

This is all for you. All for you.

Only the best.

Enjoy. Okay, thanks, honey.

This club's hot.

Best Atlanta scene in a minute.

The food.

The drink.

Their names are Shantae and Greta.

No, I think their names are one for Skip and one for Brad.

You mean one for Brad and the leftovers for Skip.

Don't you, D .D.

Aren't you getting tired of the girlfriend of the week game?

Oh, come on. We were together for at least three weeks. Yo, Skip, go see if

and drink want to join us.

Let me show you how it's done.

Hey, ladies, how you doing tonight?

Can I buy you a drink?

It's a good time.

It's a good time.

Hey, Chad, take over.

I'll be right back.

Hey, partner.

Hey, partner. I want you to meet a good friend of mine.

Brad Harper.

League's best three -point score two years in a row.

Trying to make it three.

You're just complimenting us on how beautiful our beautiful people are.

Well, I have Austin to thank for that.

Thank you, Austin.

Look, Brad, if you need anything, don't hesitate to let me know. I will.

Back to business.

All right, superstar.

Thank you, sweetie. You're welcome.

I love the good stuff, right?

Austin.

Austin.

Austin.

What? Let me alone.

The club is closed.

I was just about to turn on the alarm. I didn't even know you were in here.

What else would I do?

You could have went home with one of your little boy toys. I don't know.

That'd be gross.

All right.

Come on. Get up.

You need to go home.

Come on.

Wow,

really?

Awesome.

Come on, man. I'll drive you.

This is not a good look.

I want you to get some rest.

You want to come in and talk?

I need to get some rest too.

But I can come in for a little while.

Have a seat.

You good?

Wow.

You live like this.

Wow.

Oh, you all right?

Yo, what are you doing?

Austin!

Yo, Princess Pretty Eye, you awake?

I'm always awake.

When they shipping you upstate?

Never, I hope.

You pretty, but you ain't that damn pretty.

No way they let you do a five -year bid in county.

Your ass is going upstate.

Room service.

Yeah,

I'd like to order egg and omelet and bacon.

Orange juice. Oh, yeah, and a coffee, too.

Room service.

Hey, Austin, wake up.

Come on in.

Get up, man. I ordered you breakfast.

Come on, man. Get up.

No.

I'm tired.

Let's go, man. Get up.

Morning,

sunshine.

Eat, shower, dress, and I'll be back to get you in a couple hours.

No. I'm not going anywhere today.

Yes, you are. We have appointments.

Get dressed.

Wrap a dose.

A shank, please.

What the hell are you looking at?

Uh -huh.

Well, cute.

Okay.

We both need to just sign off on the product line.

We're set.

My name will not be part of a clothing line that don't sell jeans.

I thought we agreed.

We did, because you felt so strongly about it, but I feel strongly, too.

Where's Shonda? I feel strongly, too.

A woman's life is meaningless without jeans, Omar.

Jeans go with everything.

If a woman has a pair of jeans that fit her right, I can't even put it into

words. Well, you're going to have to try.

Is that song really necessary?

Is that song really necessary? What's wrong with you today?

I don't know. You know what? Include the jeans. Don't include the jeans. I don't

really care.

Where are you going?

I need a break.

My head is starting to hurt.

I'm sure you will make the best decision anyway.

Come on. Come on back.

Bring it in.

Rashonda.

It's Omar, by the way.

Jeans go with everything.

Not unless I'm wearing them.

Hey, thanks again for showing us the place on such short notice.

It was my pleasure.

Our home number is on the back.

Thank you.

My home number is on the back.

What was that?

Oh, please. I hate when men act like they don't know when a woman's flirting

with them. And I hated that apartment.

You said you liked the place when we were just up there. Well, I was being

polite.

Fine. Look, we'll look for some more places.

I never said that I wanted to look at any. You're staying in a hotel.

In a city that you say you want to settle down in.

Trust me.

You need an apartment.

Well, how does next week look for you, Jeff?

We can get into details over lunch. I don't mind.

Karen Bridges.

Let me call you back.

Karen, so good to see you.

Have you always been such a bad liar?

Come on, you don't want to see me any more than I want to see you. And yet

you're still here.

Sit, please.

Thank you. I can't stay long. I've got a real job to get back to.

Oh, I know. You bring it up quite a bit.

So I want to hear your strategy for making my daughter a star.

Do you have a specific question, Karen? Because I'd love to hear it. So you give

the lead to that little black... Asian girl?

When Casey is the most talented, she's got the most charisma, she's clearly the

best looking, how can she not be the lead?

Well, first of all, Tara Shai is Cambodian, and I didn't give her

earned it.

So did Casey.

Karen, I really don't think Casey wants to be the lead.

Casey doesn't know what she wants.

That's why she has me. Well, that's why Triple Threat has me, a real manager.

I don't think I like your tone. And I don't think I like you.

Excuse me?

We've officially had our last meeting about your petty nonsense.

If you don't want Casey in this group, then go.

And good luck.

Oh, we're leaving.

But we'll do so when I'm good and ready to leave you in those two talentless

twits you're giving old Casey's glory to.

Well, we should look at the time.

I think it's time for you to get off to your real job.

I guess I better.

Right this way.

Stage moms.

Can you please tell me what was wrong with the last place?

I didn't say anything was wrong with it. But you didn't like it.

We've seen a gang of high -end condos, apartments, and townhomes. The last one

even had heated floors in the bathroom.

with two heated salt pools.

Why can't you just pick one?

Why is it so important to you that I do?

Because maybe you wouldn't look so sad all the time if you had a place to call

home. I'm not sad all the time.

Yes, you are.

I saw it in your eyes last night.

I see it in your eyes every time you try to drink away your blues, Austin.

I drink because I like to.

And you need to mind your own business.

We're partners in the club now, Austin. You are my business. No, my personal

life is my own, period. Just take me home.

You mean take you back to your hotel room?

Kiss my ass, Terrence.

That's what I mean.

Kiss my ass.

Okay, I'm here.

I'm pretty sure I got everything.

Nah, it's okay. I got it.

Finally. What do you mean finally? I'm five minutes early.

That was all it is.

These are the best runway models in Atlanta.

These are the models?

The best.

Okay. Omar.

The women I want to cater to actually eat.

They need to see some models with the meat in their bones back home. These are

the girls my friends made fun of.

You're barely a size one yourself.

Yeah, and they made fun of me too.

These are the models, Roshanda.

That tone is really funky, Omar.

Oh, so now my tone is the problem?

Yeah, your tone is the problem. Okay. Like I got nothing else to do.

Ladies,

will you please excuse us?

Yes, ladies, please excuse us.

These are precious hours of my life that I'll never get back.

First... You don't want me getting on you about the deliveries being late.

you tell me you have a headache, and then I should just do what I want.

Then I do what I think is best, and you're not happy about that either.

I swear I'd be ready to jump out that damn window if I weren't afraid of the

damage to my beautiful bone structure and flawless skin. You're right. You're

right.

I've been tripping a little bit.

Tell me what's going on.

You really want to know? I beg of you.

Okay. I mean, I hate to even say it, but... I've been running around,

acting like I'm somebody, starting a business, living nice.

Sounds like you're living the dream to me.

Because my sister died and left me the dream.

Why does it feel like I'm trying to be something I'm not?

I mean...

I was happy, you know, living in my little studio apartment, working at 20

Below, you know.

I don't know.

Raquel left you everything she did because she loved you. But you're right.

You should just go back to Gary.

See?

Even you know that doesn't sound right.

What you need to do, lean into the lifestyle.

You get overwhelmed, go get a massage.

You want sushi, but you don't want to get in your car? You have it delivered

from the finest restaurant in Atlanta.

Yeah, it sounds so simple coming from your mouth.

Because it is.

Okay. Okay.

Okay.

Tomorrow night, we going out. And not for sushi.

I'm going to have a car pick you up at 7.

Whoa, me? Wait a minute. I didn't mean me. I didn't mean with me. Well, I did.

We're going to do it right.

Do it right? Who says that? I say that, boo -boo.

Thank you.

I'm sorry, y 'all.

Y 'all beautiful.

You just need to eat a burger.

See you later.

It's not like Bahama myth now.

Get back to it, ladies.

The figures you're pulling down at that club, you should be able to buy a watch.

Really?

Didn't Daddy Franks tell you it ain't polite to keep people waiting?

He's clean.

You wanted me here, Maximus. I'm here.

What do you want? See, Terrence, you got it all twisted.

It's not what I want, it's what you want.

Naming the person who snatched up that pretty little girl of yours and torched

her car.

Look, if you know something, you better...

Come on, man. You want to solve a case, so be one.

Come on, T.

You know how this works.

You do for me, I do for you.

I already told you.

I'm out.

Thought this girl meant something to you.

Guess I was wrong.

What do you want me to do?

Now that's what I want to hear.

So what is it?

Like I said, you do for me, I do for you.

Of course she's good. I trained her myself.

And as soon as she realizes London is too wet and rainy for too much of the

year, she'll find her way back home.

Okay.

Ciao.

I'm listening.

You wanted to see me?

Yes.

I need you to deal with Casey's mom or deal Casey out of the group.

First, that would be a mistake.

Second, I'm a little overwhelmed with getting Rashonda's line off the ground,

I... Now you're telling me your problems.

Felicia, my queen, I know how much you despise whining, but... What you're

to. I am dealing with a million things at once for you and this company.

So it'd be nice if my concerns were heard every once in a while.

Maybe I made a mistake in promoting you.

You most certainly did not.

As you are.

Thank you for coming with me, Mr. O.

It's Omar.

I feel better already.

Good, so I can go.

No, not before I buy you a drink.

Anything you want.

Amen.

What can I get for you?

Have a glass of your best white and whatever my friend wants.

All right.

Her friend would like to go back to the office so he can finish his work.

You look like a Merlot man to me. Bring him a glass of your finest Merlot.

Hawkerage, 1978, if you got it.

Perfect.

Single barrel. Straight from the bluegrass state.

Liquid perfection.

Hola. Oh, hey, girl. How are you? You know my friend Omar.

Hey, boyfriend.

Hey. What are you guys doing over here? I have a seat waiting for you on VIP.

Oh, hey. Okay.

That's all right. We'll be fine here.

What's going on?

Okay,

secrecy sisters.

Y 'all look like y 'all about to bond over a game of double dutch or

So I'm going to get out of here. I got a ton of work to do.

Go ahead. I got my girl.

Will you quit doing that?

See you later, puppy.

Well, hope is blowing in the summer breeze.

Please don't. Okay, so what? Please don't. Don't act pushed aside, and you

be.

Now watch me work. Stop it. Okay.

Loving me, my baby.

Hey, Ro.

Hey. What's up?

Nothing. I haven't followed my girl. Listen, I've been meaning to call you.

know what? Will you excuse us?

Those investors I want you to meet are over in VIP. I have to go right now.

Sorry.

All right.

Okay. Hi, how are you? I'm Austin. I'm one of the owners of the club. This is

Roshanda.

Do you have enough drinks? How are you doing?

We just opened up.

How do you like it?

Okay, stop looking back.

On the table, put the platinum with the platinum and the gold.

Hi,

Karen.

Prepare to be amazed.

All I see are a couple of racks with a bunch of clothes on them. Where is

Casey's stuff?

I don't separate the wardrobe until I'm sure they all look good together.

Uh -huh. Okay, well, I'm not here to see what you're putting on those two tone

-deaf mannequins, so I'm gonna go. Thanks for wasting my time.

Karen.

Oh.

You know, I have to assume that you behave the way you do because you

love your child.

But those clothes that you're so flippin' about, those are my babies, my

children, my blood, sweat, tears, personal and professional life, all

here.

So from now on, I'm gonna need you to be a little bit more pleasant or a little

less present in this process.

Is this the part where you cry and tell me I don't know how hard it is to do

what you do?

No, honey, this is the part where I remind you I'm also a VP at this

and you should feel... that I am styling these girls and taking the time to

personally show you the wardrobe.

Oh, yeah? Well, personally, I'm not impressed.

I will find a way to disappear that woman from my life.

Terrence, are you in there?

Why is the door locked?

I was putting money in it today.

Where your key at? It's in my bag, which is in my desk.

How responsible?

You know, you can keep your sarcasm to yourself if you don't mind. I'll do

Going out on the floor.

Congratulations.

Oh, hey.

Hey, bro. What's up?

How you doing?

Good. I didn't know you were out here. I was looking for Austin.

She's right there. Probably looking for her key.

I love you too, Taryn.

What was that all about?

About Terrence thinking he's my daddy.

So?

Que paso?

Mm -mm.

Not really my type.

But we had a good conversation, and you were right.

Skip never took his eyes off me. Si.

But I'm not gonna front. I mean, I... I still like him.

No, no, no, no, no. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. No, you have to move on.

Punto final. You're done. It's a wrap.

Okay. I'm trying.

Mm -mm.

What about you?

What do you need to move on from?

Me? Mm -hmm.

Nothing. Mm -hmm.

I'm good.

Mm -hmm.

Life is good.

I mean, my business partner's mad at me because I'm not ready to move out of my

hotel room, but other than that... Why don't you want to move?

I've been asking myself that same question.

I don't know. I guess I'm used to moving around.

I don't feel comfortable when something feels permanent. Like, I can't escape.

But truth be told, I'm kind of tired of that hotel room.

You know, it's too easy to move one guy out and the next one in.

Well, I say you need the best of both worlds.

Some place that you can leave anytime you want that, you know, also feels like

home. Where's that?

My place.

What? Yeah. I mean, it's too big for just me and...

It's nice, and you can come and go as you please.

I don't know. Which is why you can come and go as you please, girl.

Okay. Okay, well, maybe I can just come and look at it tomorrow.

Why not tonight? I'm about to get out of here anyway, so... Okay.

Let's do it. I think... Girl, let's go.

I think you're going to love it.

Where are we going?

Where are you taking me?

No question. Let's go.

Really?

Drink a margarita for me.

What is she talking about?

Keisha, I need you to come with me.

Now, I need to know what's going on. Let's just say the right hand has had to

greased. Well, what does that mean?

Did I just escape? Am I legally free? The charges against you were dropped.

And a lot of people don't need any attention on this, so this is how it had

be. I can go home.

Yes, you could.

Or you could go outside and get in that car and let it take you to the airport

where a private jet is waiting to take you to Venezuela.

Wait.

Venezuela? Yeah.

To Malcolm.

Come on.

He made all of this possible.

Drink a margarita for me.

Excuse me?

The inmate ended up fell next to mine.

She gave me the message from Malcolm. She knew.

No one is ever who they appear to be, are they?

No, they aren't.

I still love him.

I can't believe I finally have a chance to be with him. Yes, but remember that

once you're gone, you are gone. If you contact anybody here, you are leading

them straight to Malcolm.

Your bag's in the trunk.

Go.

I've never met a minister quite like you.

I'm just trying to do the right thing under the wrong circumstances.

God bless you, Keisha.

He already has.

Hasn't he?
