- If we just collect your balance,

we are good for tonight's game night.

- Oh, ah, you know, I heard this venue was nice,

but nobody told me you were the main attraction. [Cackling]

- Yeah, it is a couple roller coasters up in here.

- Mm, baby, oh, ah!

Uh, about this early access fee,

uh, is there a discount for loyal costumers?

- Sir.

This yo' first time up in here man,

so the answer is no.

- Come on, babygirl, you can't hook it up?

Because running things, much like that dress,

looks real good on you.

- Sir, yeah, yeah, I'ma need you to keep running these game nights,

'cause running game clearly ain't your forte.

Uh, now, flattery will only get you so far,

but a tip, that might do a little something.

- 'Kay, here you go.

- Okay.

Yo' catering team can load in at two.

- Uh, actually uh, noon would really be better.

You know, 'cause they gotta bring in the equipment, they gotta set up,

the little tchotchkes and stuff, you know, get every uh,

okay, fair enough.

- Looks like 12 noon just opened up.

Uh, oh, hello.

Welcome to Lucille's, where we make our space your space.

I'll be right with you.

- Are we done here? - Oh no, I'm just getting started.

I'm tryna see what that smile taste like.

- [stuttering] You know, go. - I'll be back.

I'll be back. [Chuckling]

- Hi. - I'm looking for Alonzo and Aaliyah Williams.

- Oh they're not in,

but if it's event related, I can help you.

- It's related, but not to the event.

Can you tell me when they'll be in?

- If this is regarding that uh,

tax issue,

uh, Mia no habla Espa�ol,

no Ingleso, no French-o. - What?

- No, no, I'm not with the tax-- - And we don't keep no cash on hand!

Uh, and if this is a legal matter

then it don't count as served unless you put it in my hands.

- I'm not here to serve anyone.

Can you just please tell them that

Asia McDaniels stopped by regarding a very urgent,

very personal matter?

- Mm-mm. - Okay.

I'm just gonna go now.

- It still don't count though.

[Light Funky Music]

Hey um, you can put these boxes

in our utility closet in the back, okay?

- Uh-uh, what kind of gentleman would I be to let you carry that?

- Oh, well soft-life me then baby, thank you.

- Uh, Miss Mia. - Uh huh?

- If you're sticking around, I'd love to have you sample what we cooked up tonight.

- Oh, okay Jameel, that's sweet of you.

- Not as sweet as you.

- Friend! - Hey friend.

- Yeah. - Oh, ooo.

Looks like somebody's interested in more than a venue.

- What, that little baby, come on!

That boy need to get his weight up if he wanna go a couple rounds with me.

[Laughing]

Ugh, what was her name-- Asia!

She came in here to see you and Alfonso.

Now I know she wasn't a bill collector, and I didn't let her serve me so.

- Girl, now why would we be getting served?

- Girl, I don't know what kind of shady business

your brother got going on in here.

I don't wanna know,

because of plausible deniability.

- She left her card on the desk. - Really?

Okay, I'ma let twin handle that,

'cause ya' girl got a full day of self-care planned,

and I was only stopping by, but uh,

looks like baby is up for the challenge.

- Ugh. - Just give him some Similac.

- Mm, well I like con' in my 'gac.

- Girl sign me up for that. [Cackling]

- Yeah, an indoor Slip N' Slide seems like a liability for us.

Yeah, yeah, the water damage alone.

I mean--you'd be using what instead of water?

Oh, yeah, oh okay.

Uh, let us get back to you, yeah, okay.

Uh, set up for tonight going well?

- Yep, Mia said everything's under control,

and it seems like she got one of them catering cuties

under her spell too.

- What? Witchy-poo done finally used her black magic

to get herself a man.

Tell him if he needs help, blink twice.

- Easy on my friend.

I said that he seemed into her.

- Oh, little Lee Lee,

Everybody is nice to a smiling Rottweiler, okay.

Y'all two been out the game so long, y'all done confused

common curtesy for genuine interest.

Ain't nobody thinking about Mia.

- Okay, whatever punk.

The messages for today.

Oh and Mia said someone named Asia stopped by for us.

I don't know, I'm late for a pedicure,

so I'ma let you handle that, alright?

- Okay, normally I would object,

but them feet sound like a course sandpaper hitting up against them slides.

- What? - Hello, Alfonso Williams for...

Asia McDaniel?

Yeah. Yes, we are both here.

- Hi! Hello, I'm Asia McDaniel.

- Damn, that was fast.

You uh, staking out the parking lot, or uh...

[Aggressive Laughing]

- Uh, okay um, I am late for a meeting,

but my brother here can help you, okay?

- Your brother?

So this is a family-run business then?

- Yep, this is Lucille's. Family-owned and operated for generations,

now named after my Aunt Lucille.

- Oh, that's sweet.

As in your mother's sister?

- Um, no, our mother didn't have a sister.

- Are, are you looking to rent the space, or--

- Well to be honest, no.

But I do have a question though.

Was your mother's maiden name Laurence?

- Are you a psychic?

What, you tryna conjure up something from the other side,

'cause we don't deal with no ghosts. - No, no, no.

- Excuse us, Alfonso can I talk to you?

- Yeah. - Um, she's asking a lot of questions right?

And I've seen this on this show, "How to Get Away With Scamming."

- Me too. - I think she's tryna get our information.

- I think so too. - Right!

- Excuse me, ma'am? - Yes.

- Do you happen to be from Nigeria?

- Mm, no.

- She's obviously lying. - Yeah.

Okay, so um, what can we help you with?

- I'm not here to hustle anyone.

Can you just tell me if your mother's maiden name was Laurence?

- I mean, okay, why is that relevant?

- Because according to Kinfolkconnect.com,

my birth mother's name was Velma Laurence.

- Ah!

Makes sense, you know,

Velma Laurence, common name, especially on this side of Chicago.

- I think there's more to it than that.

- Okay so, what are you implying?

- Well according to this,

your mother and my birth mother

were the same woman.

[Light Techno Music]

- I just don't understand, how could mama have another kid?

- Nobody every sat you down and talked to you about the birds and the bees?

Ah, that might shed some light on why your marriage didn't work out.

You didn't know what you was doing in there.

- Wow, really Alfonso?

No, obviously, I didn't mean how.

I meant how could she, and we not know.

- Right, right? - Thank you.

- I mean, I would expect this from Henry, but not your mother.

What kind of freaky, sneaky woman could get away

with hiding a whole pregnancy--

- Watch yourself.

- I'm not saying Mama V was freaky sneaky.

So then, it must've been before you were born, right?

How old is this woman?

- I don't know.

Thirty.

Fifty! I don't know.

Black don't crack.

- Okay, baby, you didn't think to ask?

- Excuse me, pardon me, I was too preoccupied

with the news that my mama was a city girl

before she met papa. - Oh come on Alfonso, really?

And what about daddy, who's gonna tell him?

- Tell Henry what?

- Auntie, we thought you were at Lucille's.

- I'm on my way down there now.

Uh huh.

What did I just walk into?

[Laughs] Okay.

Then why don't I just give my brother a call,

and we can get to the bottom of whatever this is.

- Easy Auntie, okay.

That threat used to work when we were little kids,

but we are full grown adults now.

- You are never too grown for me to put you across my lap.

And let me tell you three something,

if this has anything to do with my brother,

I have a right to know.

- Well, today we had a visitor,

who claims to be mama's biological daughter.

- Is that what has y'all all worked up?

- Did you not just hear what he said, Auntie?

He said mama had another kid with another man.

- I heard what he said.

And you both just need to relax.

Henry knows all about her.

[All] What?

[Rhythmic Music]

- Why does it look like a mortuary in here?

What is all this?

- These are all from a secret admirer.

[Cackling]

- I haven't had a secret admirer in a while,

but hello!

Auntie still has it, see!

I could still teach you young girls a thing or two.

- Actually Auntie, they're all for me.

- Oh, I'm sorry, here. - Ah!

You licked that one, that one's for you, boo.

- Well,

any idea who the mystery man might be?

- Well, I thought maybe it was from my ex, Calvin,

but I checked the postmark and it wasn't from hell,

so I crossed him off the list.

- Well I'll tell you what,

Auntie's gonna help you find out who the mystery man is.

Now, all I need,

is my whiteboard,

my markers, some tape,

my printer paper,

and a business suit that Olivia Pope would wear.

- Okay. - And another thing,

can you pull up season 12 of NCIS,

on the iPad for me?

- Why? - I just love the way L.L. licks his lips.

Mm. [Laughs]

Whoo, he gets my creative juices flowing!

Hoo-hoo!

[Upbeat Music]

Oh, you are just in time.

I think I've got a pretty good list of potentials.

- Auntie, what is all of this?

How did you get pictures of all of my exes?

I mean, every one since high school.

- Oh, well we've got to examine all of our options.

- Well isn't this the guy that runs past here

every morning?

Wait a minute, is this Idris Elba?

Auntie, now we know,

Idris is a hell of a option, I'm just saying, but golly -

- Girl no, this is Edris Elbow. [Laughs]

But I'll tell ya' this,

I've been Jonesing for five minutes with that Idris

ever since he played that kingpin in "The Wire."

Oo-wee, now just in case,

we need to bring these men in for questioning...

[Both] Keep him on the list.

- I told you there was a method to my madness.

- I mean but how Auntie?

Really, I think you got all they pictures and

detailed profiles on all these men, how?

- Well you just mind your business.

You give me 20 minutes and a secure internet connection,

and I can find out almost anything

on almost anybody, you hear?

- Alright, well,

sounds like those computer courses down at the senior center

really been paying off.

- Ladies, what up though?

Got a delivery for a, Mia Johnson.

- Um, that's me.

Uh, put it anywhere you can.

- Not a lot of space. - Here, try there.

- Alright.

Mm-mm mm.

Somebody must really want you cooking.

- Okay.

[Whistles] [Snaps]

- Ugh, this is cray.

Hey Chris, you need anything?

- Nah, we all good,

but uh, I need to step out for a bit.

Jameel will hold things down until I get back.

- Oh, okay well, we'll be right here.

- Good to know. [Laughs]

[Snaps] - I tell ya'...

What are you doing?

- I'm just tryna get a whiff of your pheromones,

'cause these menfolks don't seem to get enough.

Did you see the way he looked at you?

- Chris ain't thinking about me, plus he is way to young.

- Listen, the younger the berry, the sweeter the juice.

- No Auntie, it's the blacker the berry the sweeter the juice.

- Uh-huh, that too. [Laughs]

- Hey babe.

Just checking on you, you okay?

- Oh no I'm good, just processing.

It's a lot. It's a lot.

- Yeah, like who would've thought,

our family would've had more secrets than The Diddler.

- Well to be fair, every family has secrets.

You're not the first one to have a long-lost sibling

come out the woodworks.

- Okay, that may be true, but you better not have no deep,

dark, secrets.

You better, you better let 'em fly right now.

- Hush, you know I don't have any deep, dark secrets.

- [dramatically] Please!

You know I see all them packages you be sneaking in from yo' trunk.

You got some secrets. [Laughs]

[Laughs]

Asia came looking for us,

because she wanted to get to know our family.

I guess we should give her a chance.

- What, whoa, no bro, like,

this woman is a stranger.

We don't know her from a can of paint.

- Okay first of all Aaliyah, we came out the same womb, same DNA,

that is not exactly a stranger. - Huh?

- And secondly,

I already invited her over.

- Wait-- - What? Wow. [Doorbell Rings]

[Upbeat Techno Music]

[Laughs] - So Asia,

what made you reach out now?

- Honestly, someone gifted me with a subscription

to Kinfolkconnect.com.

A quick cheek swab later, and well,

here we are.

[Together] Here we are.

[Clears Throat] - Sorry for staring,

but you actually look like her.

And it's crazy I didn't see that before.

- Finally, somebody said something, I mean,

the resemblance is crazy.

Oh, and she even has Mama V's mannerisms.

- Mhm, mhm.

Do you have uh, any other siblings.

- No, not until now.

[Laughing]

- Doesn't, doesn't her laugh remind you of mom's?

- No.

No, not at all actually.

- Excuse my sister, she's the baby,

and she's acting like one right now.

- I don't have to deal with this, I have better things to do.

- It was a joke sis, I'm sorry.

- Look, I, I didn't mean to cause an issue for any of you.

- No, no, she just needs time to process.

I'm gonna go talk to her.

[Rhythmic Music]

- Now Mia,

I didn't think that narrowing down your secret admirer

out of this batch of bozos was gonna be that hard,

but I think i cracked it.

- Okay, well, let's see what you got Inspector Ratchet.

- That's right, well look,

only about seven of these men are even

credit worthy enough to have bought you all this stuff, Mia.

- I know Auntie.

The dating pool has pee-pee in it.

Pickings are slim out here in these streets. [Laughs]

- Uh huh, especially when you picking

the lowest hanging fruit. - I'm short.

- Now look here sweetie,

from here forward,

Auntie Lucille needs you to reach a little higher.

Come on reach, reach higher, higher!

There you go.

Now, I think I've got the top three suspects.

- Really? - Uh huh.

- Right here, whoa!

What in the Vice Lords is going on here?

- We're looking for a Mia Johnson?

- Who looking? I did't do it, it wasn't me!

- I wasn't there. - Don't talk.

Just listen.

[Falsetto Vocalizing]

? I see you girl

? 'Cause with every move ? You just light up the room

? All around you

? I'm so into you, girl

? I'm wondering

? What my world would like ? With you in my life

? on the daily

? If you were my lady

? Oh

? I wanna know ya'

? I wanna know your name

? Baby-- [Laughs]

[Vocalizing]

? I need to know

? Wanna know your name

? Maybe we could spend some time

? Talk a while, turn this spark into a flame

[Vocalizing]

- Hi Mia.

- Hey Auntie. - Hey.

- Jameel, you were my secret admirer the whole time?

- I knew it! - Not so secret anymore, huh?

Uh, I apologize if I did too much but,

where I'm from, men court women.

[Laughs] - How old is he?

- Oh, uh, well, hm.

I mean, the quartet, I mean y'all can sang.

That was, that was cold, you did that,

but, and all this stuff, you could've gave me the money to pay my mortgage but...

I, I just don't know what to say.

- You could start by saying you'll join me for dinner tomorrow night.

[Light Music]

- Okay Aaliyah, we cannot change the past,

but we get to choose how we're gonna move forward.

- I'm trying.

I don't know how to feel.

You know this, she, came out of nowhere.

- She is here now.

I mean are you really ready to shut the door on getting to know your sister?

- I guess not? - Okay!

Okay that's a start, good.

So I'm gonna bring her in now, okay?

Okay ladies,

I think we should start by saying what's on our hearts and minds.

[Clears Throat]

- Okay.

No shade to you,

but I am used to being my mom's only daughter,

and now I'm just trying to process all of this.

- And I get that,

and I'm so sorry for dropping this bomb on you.

Discovering my birth mother, then

finding out that I'd never get a chance to know her

was a shock for me too.

But then, I found out I had siblings

and it felt like a second chance to get to know her.

Through you.

- I just, I just wish I could talk to my mom.

And just ask her why.

Why she kept this a secret from all of us?

- I bet no one wishes that more than Asia.

- The truth is,

I envy you for having had the opportunity to be your mother's daughter.

I didn't get to have that.

You all have a beautiful family,

and I just want to get a chance to know you.

And I'm happy to take things slow.

- Maybe you can start by showing some photos of your mother.

- Would you like to see some pictures,

of our mother?

- I would love to.

- Alright, let's go, come on.

- Hey pop, she's coming, I think she's coming around.

Let me ask you something though,

uh, you sure ma didn't have no secret son?

I hate being outnumbered.

I'ma call you back.

- What you in here whispering about?

- Oh no, just bringing pop up to speed on the three of y'all.

Duh. [Laughing]

- You got him on the phone?

- Oh, yeah, yeah. - What part of the world is he in now?

- Ah, they just taking the stage in Budapest.

Yeah, yeah, so uh...

we good?

- I think we're good. - Yeah.

- Oh babe, pull out the photo album so we can help Asia get to know her family.

- I, I thought you said we were good?

- No, we are good.

- So why you tryna scare her off? [Laughs]

[Rhythmic Music]

- You mean to tell me,

- Mama V had a secret baby? - Yes.

- Girl, I would've bet all my money

that if anybody had a secret baby crawling out they closet,

it was gon' be Henry. - Right?

- Wow. And after talking to daddy and hearing his side,

I actually understand why he kept mama's secret all these years.

- Well now that you know about Asia,

what's next?

- Well, it was a rough start, right?

But, she's actually pretty cool.

And we just said we're gonna take it slow,

and get to know each other.

- Aw, that is so good baby. - Aw, so sweet.

- Honestly, I can't believe ya' mama and daddy

kept that secret as long as they did.

- Right, but now, after all of this,

Mia, I know you gon' let Jameel take you out on that date right?

- Oh, come on guys, no y'all, I mean,

he was a nice guy or whatever, but he ain't really my type.

- Not your type? Now, what's wrong with you?

Wait a minute, wait, hold up.

A successful, entrepreneurial,

straight Black man, who is also romantic,

and paid enough to shower you with gifts?

Are you crazy? Shoot, he's all our type.

- That part. - He for everybody.

- Look at you Auntie, making sense.

[Scoffs]

Oh, let me go get my man!

- Hold on, hold on, hold on, hold on!

- Do y'all hear that? - What?

The sound of hell freezing over.

This might be the first time Mia's taken advice on anything.

- Go get your man. [Laughing]
