Previously on Single Ladies.

I got it, I got it.

Karen! You're nothing but a patch of weeds in my garden, and I've already

started rooting you out. I can't believe you would try to sabotage your own

daughter. Young, dope designer, right?

I don't know about the dope part, but... Do you mind if I have a couple of

minutes of your time?

What the... Were you serious about what you said before?

But helping me become a star. When are you going to find the time to take care

of yourself, Felicia?

I'll rest when I'm dead.

I'm going to call my lawyer.

Find out what's the best way to dissolve this little partnership.

Go ahead, modest man.

Introduce your new group.

Here's Triple Threat.

How y 'all doing tonight?

Welcome to the hottest club in the ATL, The Oak.

Now, we wouldn't be the hottest club if we didn't have the hottest artists.

Put your hands together for Atlanta's own multi -platinum recording artist, my

homeboy, B .O .B.

That's right, we back and forth all night You know we back and forth all

That's right, we back and forth all night You know we back and forth all

That's right, we back and forth all night You know we back and forth all

That's right, we back and forth all night You know we back and forth all

Nothing to it but to do it, yeah.

Looking just right.

Keep doing all the things I like.

So girl, let your head down. On the floor with your hands in the air now.

we, and we, and we don't care. We don't care at all.

No, we don't care. We don't care at all.

Dirty martini, three olives.

Coming right up. I put that on my tab. Okay. No, no, no. No freebies for me.

finally standing on my own two feet.

I got black dollars to recycle.

I'm recycling them.

Oh, look, I take tips, too.

Real busy here tonight, huh? Yeah.

And your roommate left me hanging again.

You know she a free bird. You gotta let her fly.

What about you? Are you a free bird?

Not really.

What's up, man? What's up, man? If you need anything, let me know.

You good?

Uh -huh.

Feel good.

being VIP.

After this drink, I'm off to a big event. Okay, okay. Listen, I just wanted

apologize for not calling.

I've just been busy. I'm nobody's booty call kid. Okay.

You are a beautiful, intelligent woman. Well, men take beautiful, intelligent

women out on real dates.

Okay.

Okay, what?

Tomorrow, you and me, a real date.

I thought you said you had no place to be.

Yes. Okay.

I do.

So I'm moving in.

Bye. Thank you.

Look, man, before I get out of here, man, I want to give a big shout -out to

bro, Terrence. Matter of fact, Terrence, where you at, man? Come up here, bro.

Come on, man.

Don't be shy, man.

Bro, I just want to say I'm proud of you, man.

You're doing big things.

And every time I'm out here in Atlanta, I will always come here, bro.

Man, y 'all make some noise for me.

Share in Love, a nationally televised talk show, and tell the country that

Omar Kearse, are the driving force behind Triple Threat?

Absolutely not. It's not true. Share in Love is the one... Unless that sentence

ends with you admitting you helped her stab me in the back, then there's really

no point in finishing it, is there?

If I really thought you meant that, I would be kind of hurt. I told you that

there was no love lost between us.

Felicia. Thank you.

I said thank you.

I heard you.

Well, why are you still standing there?

I am breaking my neck to please you.

Doing the impossible day in and day out.

Without so much as a good job, Omar.

I'd be very cautious about the next words you allow to escape your lips.

You drove my best friend away.

I've lost my dignity, my self -respect, all because I was trying to impress the

great Miss Felicia Price. Well, newsflash, honey, I've got nothing left

So now you consider a VP position, which you are very well compensated for, a

nothing to lose?

And if memory serves me correct...

April asked to be transferred to London because you pushed her out of your

sandbox. That had nothing to do with me.

Forming Triple Threat had very little to do with you, but that hasn't stopped

you from taking credit for it.

Felicia Price reinvents the girl group.

Leave my office now.

With pleasure.

Don't call us a hideous. This is the color scheme that Sharon has chosen.

This would have been a whole lot easier if I just met with her. She's shooting

on location all this week.

Yeah, you said that.

This is ridiculous.

Hey, Sharon.

It's your girl, Austin. What's up, Mama?

Listen, I wish I was meeting with you about your party.

Call me, okay?

All right, bye.

I'm sure I have all the answers to your question.

I'm so sure you don't.

Here you go. Thanks. Enjoy.

I don't even know if I'm still working on this project. I'm probably not going

to have a job anymore.

I guess whipping boys got to eat too.

David, I didn't smell you come in.

That wasn't even funny adjacent.

I love the chopped salads.

They're yummy and cheap.

See, we do have something in common.

We both like leafy green vegetables. So what?

So, bounce on Dragon Lady and come work with me.

Price Entertainment is the top of the food chain.

You don't leave that to hang out with bottom feeders. Nope, to self. He didn't

say I love working for Felicia Price.

Nor did he say I was happy. I love working for Felicia Price, and I am

And I also have a contract.

Sergio had a contract.

I had a contract. And look at us now. On top of the world, baby. And you should

be here with us.

Wyatt is worth a billion dollars with a capital B.

He got Oprah, Tyler Perry, Andre all on feed now. I heard your first two acts

are barely stumbling out of the gates, David.

See, look, you're trying to hurt my feelings, but it's not going to work.

We're talking salary increase for you and the respect that you deserve.

Plus, triple threat is a fluke. How do you know I'm not respected now?

And triple threat is what happens when you put hard work behind real talent. I

know you're not respected now because I used to work for Cruella de Price,

remember? Come on, bro.

And one of your girls likes the chronic one and she likes being Miss Popular.

And your lead girl's liable to chew off the wrist of anybody that gets close to

her mic. And here you are, offering the man who put them together a job and a

life. Oh, and I'll throw in my assistant Brian just to speak to you. He's not

gay, he's metro.

He's something like that. He's been there, done that.

Hey,

good news.

It better be since you busted in my office not locking.

You're being honored by the Music Vocal Association with a philanthropy award.

I don't know why it's being honored for something to do about whatever.

Isn't that great?

Look, don't get me wrong. I appreciate the honor, especially for my work in the

community, but...

The minute you stop to spill the rose, someone's always there to poke you with

thorn. So you have to stay focused.

Hard work and sacrifice.

I understand, but at what point do you... There is no such point.

No.

You focus on buying a couple of tables for the luncheon, and I'll focus on the

list of who won't be sitting at them.

Modern idea, both.

Knock yourself out.

Hey, man, I've been blowing you up all day.

Hey, David.

Knock would have been appreciated.

Oh, knock is for poor people. You know I got rich knuckles. Oh, I got some news

that you definitely want to hear.

I just snagged Omar Kearse.

Felicia Stylist?

Stylist, talent scout, confidant. He is the heart of the company, and your boy

here just ripped him off.

That is good news. I thought you'd say so.

So when does he start?

Oh, well, he doesn't technically start. Do we have a deal with this guy or not?

Well, we don't have a contract per se, but listen, he's as good as signed. As

good as signed? It's not signed.

Look, Wyatt, you're good at computers and programming.

I know the music biz.

Trust me, Omar is a done deal.

Besides, he's tired of working with Felicia.

Especially with the fallout with the whole shame and love thing.

A sharing love thing.

What? You didn't see it? No. Oh, it's probably on YouTube.

I could show it to you. Oh, no, maybe later. I'm in the middle of sensitive

information.

Okay, I get it. Who am I to get in between a man and his porn?

It's not porn. I know it's not porn. It's sensitive information.

Keep me updated on the Omar deal.

I'm on it.

And knock next time. I probably won't.

I can't believe your girl's showing up on the hatchet report.

What is he doing?

I'm surprised she didn't light it on fire.

Speak of the devil.

Finally.

I can't believe how hard it's been to get a couple of minutes with you. What's

up, girl?

Gloria, leave us alone, please. Sure.

Let me know if you need anything.

What's going on?

You all right?

Far from it.

This just got posted five minutes ago.

Baby pop stars underage, Austin.

This is a bad look for me. Worse for my show.

Oh, please.

Like you never got turned up at a party. We used to do that all the time. We

used to, Austin.

We used to do a lot of things, but I'm a grown -ass woman now.

Wow. Are you really judging me right now?

You ought to be judging yourself.

Look, I know who I am, and I'm not ashamed of it.

You're the one who's not who you used to be, making me meet with your assistant.

Are you kidding me?

You know how humiliating that was for me? You've been promoting parties, damn

it, 20 years, and you're humiliated because I was too busy working to help

do something you ought to be able to do in your sleep?

Should I push the conference call?

Absolutely not.

What do you think you're doing?

Boy, that's Gary Anderson right here.

That concert was the bomb. I had a great time.

Tell us you're having a great time.

Hey, Rumi.

Oh, hey, I think I'm good with this.

No, thank you. You guys look ridiculous.

Hurry, you better get on with it. Come on, girl.

Time to dance.

No, thank you. I will grab some of these all. Thank you. Have fun.

Bye.

I got to have y 'all to let go.

Where in the hell did I put that

box?

Of course you can have it here.

What? Where did you hear that?

No, I went out of town for a couple of days, but I'm back.

Why don't you just come by tonight and have drinks and we'll fit everything

together. Okay, bye, Papi.

What up, Miss Hollywood?

How was L .A.? Rashonda's mouth is so big.

Rashonda's mouth isn't the reason we dissolved in this partnership.

Your jacked -up attitude is.

I never agreed to dissolve anything.

Maybe you were too drunk to remember.

Okay, I'm a drinker, not a drunk.

What's the difference?

By the way, would you like a glass?

No. I got too much riding on this place. I ain't playing games with you, Austin.

I spent the last damn hour looking for this box of champagne.

Just smile. Ain't nobody playing with you. This ain't a game.

Gotta go.

Well, Usher wants to have a listening party for his new artist here in a few

weeks. He's coming by tonight to connect.

That's a good contact.

Try to be sober for it.

I need you, baby.

You. Yeah.

We love you.

We love you.

Yeah. And then that's when you come in with the rap.

Love, I got a thing for you. I lay down all the way for you.

You and I.

Hey, lady.

Oh, hello.

So, I have a surprise.

Felicia's getting an award, and they want you to present it. Yeah. Cool.

Yeah. Sorry, why are we doing it, though? Don't you know her, like, way

They didn't ask for me, Bri. They asked for you.

Look, it's going to be great exposure. All kinds of press is going to be there.

Then that'll be cool.

For you.

Really? Can I talk to you for a minute?

Yeah.

You're in trouble.

What's up?

So, I hear you have a serious love affair with the... You know?

Yeah, so I smoke a little pot.

So what?

So Price Entertainment has spent hundreds of thousands of dollars on

the girls who sing Miss Popular.

Sharon Lovell's great exposure. Some big name act is going to ask you to open up

on their summer tour.

Yeah, I get it.

I get it. Good.

Because I can't make a superstar out of a pothead who's too worried about her

balling to make it to dance class on time. Yet, I know everything.

Including that you want to be the lead singer.

But that will never, ever happen if I ever see your eyes as red as they are

Got it.

Good.

Felicia Jr.

Okay, so how do you guys think that we should introduce her?

I already know what I'm going to say.

Of course you do.

Don't you think we should talk about it and make sure we're not going to say the

same thing?

Trust me, we won't be saying the same thing. Okay, but we do have to be on the

same page.

Why? This is a girl group, not a girl cult. We don't have to think alike, walk

alike, and talk alike. Okay, Tara, I just really don't have it in my soul to

argue with you right now. So I think we can all agree that we'll be here until

midnight if we don't get back to work.

Sure thing, Mom.

Okay.

Let's be happy.

Music. Yeah.

Yay.

I'm going to give this one to the hater. To the hater.

Haters always trying to stop you, Flossie.

If you're a hater, cock that damn ring.

Haters always trying to stop you, Flossie.

I know they hate me. They don't like me. They sympathize with me. They don't

like me. It's unlikely.

Same.

Custom information you want. The question is, how bad you want it.

Look, man, I already put the microphone in the club. What else you want?

How about 50 % of oak?

I'm not giving you 15%. All right.

I didn't come out here to play with you, T.

I thought this girl was your life.

Ten percent.

I bet.

Come on, man. So what do you know?

About eight months ago, word came down that some dude with deep pockets wanted

some girl gone.

I offered my services.

You killed my girl? I didn't do it.

I got underbid by another contractor.

For the record, I didn't know she was your girl.

Who did it?

No one seems to know. He a ghost.

But I know who bankrolled the hit.

Who? Some twisted kid with a gang of cash.

It's Wyatt something or other.

Artie Wyatt?

Yeah. No, man, it couldn't have been him.

It's a rich -ass wimpy kid.

Death is my business, T.

and Music Management will be attending this year's music logo awards among the

honorees, Atlanta's own Felicia Price and industry newcomer, software giant

But that's not the only news involving Felicia Price.

In sports news, former Atlanta Eagles star Derek Belafonte and his supermodel

wife Trina welcomed a healthy baby girl today.

The couple's first.

Derek sent posts all over social media letting the world know that mom and baby

Kaylee are just great. Derek Belafonte is, of course, the ex -husband of Price

Entertainment CEO Felicia Price.

Next, caught on tape, the former mayor of Los Angeles.

Leave a message.

Congratulations on your new baby.

You know, it just hit me how nasty you really are. Sleeping with me while your

supermodel wife is eight and a half months pregnant and then Facebooking and

tweeting like you're the perfect family.

I know who you are.

Go to hell.

Hey. Sorry to keep you waiting.

Don't worry about it. I'm a patient man.

So what's up?

I think I'm ready to make a move.

I love it. I love it. I love it. I love it.

I just want to work. You know, without all the drama.

Well, allow me to be the first to shake the hand of our new VP of Development.

Welcome to Wyatt World Media. You're going to love it here. Trust me. Thanks.

Looking forward to it.

Whatever you want. It's on the company card.

Okay. Lobster? Two lobsters.

I'm right. It's on you, though, right? Oh, it's on Wyatt. But I got the black

car. You going to feed it to me, too?

On me?

Really, Brian?

Hey.

Seriously, David?

You're still seriously trying to?

Okay.

Awkward.

You better play.

My second song.

Come on, I got you. Okay.

All right.

I'm about to take it to you.

Yes!

That's right, that's my baby.

That's right.

I did it.

Come in.

I have something for you.

What do you have for me?

Come check this out.

What is this?

Come here.

Take a seat and open it.

You want me a gift?

Yeah, babe.

What?

Oh, my God.

I want you to wear it to my games.

Oh, my God.

Yes!

I love it.

There's something else in there, too.

Wait, you got me courtside seats?

You shouldn't have, baby.

Don't get too excited. It's just the D -League. I mean, you can sit next to the

coach if you want to.

I don't want to sit next to the coach. I want to sit next to you.

That's right. Well, I want you to sit next to me.

Now, can you go inside and find the car?

Please. No, go inside and get the car. Okay, I got it.

Okay. Yes.

Okay, when it says that's exactly what I'm looking for, okay?

Put it in.

Next time, show me exactly what I'm asking.

I pay to be on time.

I'm supposed to be at a banquet right now.

Hello? What?

And you're going the wrong way. Do you not know where I'm going?

I know exactly where you're going.

Aaron?

What are you doing? Hey, man, where's my driver?

Man, don't bother trying to get out.

Child lock's on.

Taryn?

Taryn? What the... Congratulations to all our honorees.

Uh,

Wyatt, if I knew I was going to have to accept an award for you, I would have

written a speech.

Yo, send me back, man.

Alicia, oh, my goodness.

Okay, here we go.

Ladies and gentlemen, are you enjoying this amazing afternoon as much as I am?

Guys, we didn't do this.

Hey, you know what?

I think Brie should speak for us.

What? No, no.

I made it pretty clear that I was going to speak for myself.

Okay, just hear me out.

Look, come on. I write the songs and you're the lead singer, right? We all

equal responsibility.

So Brie should be our group spokesperson.

It's whatever you want to do. No, Tara, that's you.

You always do exactly what Tara wants to do.

And given how little gratitude you show for your good fortune, it is so hard to

believe that just a few months ago you were barely paying your rent and staying

in a half -full coffee house.

Here now to introduce our next nominee, please give a very warm welcome to

Felicia Price's newest discovery, Triple Threat.

Good afternoon.

I'm Tara Jai.

This is Casey Bridges.

And it's my pleasure to introduce our group's spokesperson,

Brelyn Goldberg.

Don't mess it up.

Go ahead.

Ladies and gentlemen, we're here tonight to introduce a woman who has

vision.

Felicia Price is talented, smart, and a brilliant businesswoman.

It's because of her that we've been so strong.

Felicia, this song is for you.

Bye. Bye.

Bye.

Ladies and gentlemen, Ms. Felicia Price.

Congratulations. Congratulations, Felicia.

Congratulations, Felicia.

Here you go.

Wow.

Thank you, Breeland, Casey, Tara.

That was an amazing introduction.

Even more amazing performance.

Oh, my goodness.

Well, I prepared a speech, but I think I'll speak off the

cuff.

First, I want to thank the Music Mogul Association for acknowledging my work in

the community.

Giving back is the least a successful person can do.

You know, I think we get so busy sometimes that we forget it's the

hard work and the loyalty of others that keeps us on top.

In particular, my VP of new business, Omar

Kearse.

Thank you for doing what you're paid to do.

And then some.

You know, it's true. I get credit for the hard work of my team.

To Kiara, my assistant.

How is it that you make it to work before me every single day?

To my whole Price Entertainment family.

The work my foundation does is really your hard work.

You ready to be a star?

I appreciate every single one of you. I'm making your dreams come true.

This means so much to me. Let me introduce you to the money.

Thank you all.

Thank you.

What's wrong, baby kids?

This is all wrong.

Where are you going?

Where I belong.

Are you okay?

Yeah. Felicia Price, everybody.

And now, our next honoree.

He's the president and CEO of Wyatt World Media, Artie Wyatt.

I'll pay you whatever you want if you let me at it.

Anything you want. Just let me go. Okay?

Please.

Whatever you want. You can't give me what I want.

I'm mad.

Come on. Let me get back.

I need something. What are you doing?

What are you doing? No.

No. Don't do this. No. No. Get me out of here. No. Help. Help.

Don't do this. Okay?

She didn't love you, man.

She didn't love anybody but herself.

I told her I loved her, and she laughed.

Stop this little bitch.

Who's the bitch now?

Shut the hell up.

Something in the fridge for you.

What I hope it is?

Go see.

You got my favorite sports drink, didn't you?

Tell me it's the orange flavor.

What?

Princess, this is ballin'.

Perfect for a baller.

You ain't gonna always be in a dealie.

This is fancy.

You expecting somebody?

Well, this might be Austin.

She misplaces her keys.

Is that any way to greet your man?

Please leave.

Look, I just spent six months in jail because you couldn't keep your mouth

And you don't got the common courtesy to invite me in your new crib. I told you

I would call the police if you ever put your hands on me again.

I don't want a scene, DeAndre.

I don't think you want one either.

Wait, wait, wait.

Didn't they wonder why you moved here so easily?

Huh?

Just hoping they left Gary without a trace? No, they didn't. Well, they must

stupid. Quick background check would have told them everything they need to

about you.

If you go,

I'll meet you tomorrow.

Promise.

First thing, anywhere.

Please. All right.

But if you don't call me... I'm gonna call.

I'll see you in the morning.

Oh, God.

Who was that?

Nobody. So you went outside, in your underwear, closed the door behind you to

talk to nobody?

Okay.

Okay, it was my ex -boyfriend.

I thought you said it was nobody.

Listen, boy.

No, wait.

Babe, wait, wait, wait.

You got me, you know that?

You really got me. What?

If you came looking for another fight, I'm all out.

I came to have a drink with my good friend.

You mind?

Yeah, club.

You ain't got it like me.

What's going on?

Life.

So you were just going to leave without telling me goodbye?

I'm not a goodbye kind of girl.

But look on the bright side.

Now you can use my 30 % stake in Oath to lure the next it girl to fill your VIP.

The win -win.

For whom?

We both knew how this was going to end.

I'm Austin Aguilera.

I dazzle and then I disappoint.

It's what I do.

That's what I'm good at.

Come here.

Take care of yourself.

Terrence, get out of my way.

Austin, you have to stop being afraid of where you are.

This is our nightclub.

A chance for us to be brand new.

You know, I have been hosting, planning, throwing parties for a long time.

Do you know I once threw a party in Dubai for $2 ,500 with less than 48

notice?

People are still talking about it.

Exactly.

You've done it all.

So that's how you know it's time to do something different.

Hey, Ro, what's up?

That's horrible.

I'm gonna just go back out on the floor.

Yeah, baby, just come over. I'm here.

Come. Come now.

Okay, bye.

I don't know where we both might wind up,

but something inside our hearts is

there.

I really admire you.

You know that?

Girl, it's nothing to admire.

Really.

I'm just an idiot who thought I could start over and run from my past.

Well, then I'm an idiot, too, because I thought I could keep living in my past.

Oh, look who's creeping out the front door.

Felicia!

Hey, Mr. Partner.

Come here.

Girl, come on.

What you doing out tonight?

I'm looking for a new mouth.

Okay, okay.

No more here?

You better not be.

Sounds like I'm not the only one who needs a drink.

Well, I actually... Come on, enough of all this sad stuff.

To new beginnings. To new beginnings.

Bold. Raw.
