Robin left me a voicemail.

And I think he's moving on.

I kind of figured that.

Previously on Sisters.

When did you become so kumbaya?

Holy, I'm not kumbaya. I'm being tested right now.

You're my boy.

And I gotta get you out of that little rut.

gotten into you.

You done found your voice like Kamala Harris.

I'm done playing nice and being played with.

I know that's right.

I'm done with this shit. I'm done.

You better speak your speech, Sir Jonah Truth.

You know what? I never want to see his ass ever again.

Yeah. Do you know it only took him two minutes? Two minutes after we broke up

be back out on the street.

Two minutes?

Child, it's almost beating my record.

And I'm definitely not a second choice.

No, indeed.

Oh, my God. The last shall be first.

Maurice, what the hell are you talking about?

Sorry. I was watching church this morning.

But for real, you are definitely a first draft pick.

And if you played for my team and I was drunk, I would pick you first.

It's time, Maurice.

It's time for me to do me.

No, it's time for you to do someone else.

You think?

Oh, bitch, I know.

The best way to get over one man is to get under another and then get back

from an extra one.

Yeah, you're right.

You know what? Forget them.

You're speaking my language now, bitch.

Maybe I can find a hot and sexy guy on a dating app.

Uh -oh. What are the ones that you like for women?

Oh, no, it's okay, babe. You're moving a little fast for me.

Maybe let's take it slow.

What? We can go to a bar and see what we find.

We?

Maurice, this is supposed to be about me.

Well, Sabrina, I would never unleash you into the wilds of leather straps.

Red roots and chains and whips and swings.

Sorry, the wilds of what?

Okay, you don't have to go to that club tonight.

Yeah, I don't think I want to go there because I'm not ready for that.

I was just thinking, find a nice guy, you know?

Some drinks, conversations.

Sabrina, you're trying to be in the streets like Richard, aren't you? Mm

That means less conversation and more drinks.

Okay.

I got it. Less conversation, more drinks.

And so now I have to teach you the step and repeat.

What's the step and repeat? Oh, yes, baby, the step and repeat. You let a man

step inside of your war room, and then you let him beat it up like a bass drum.

Put him out, and then repeat with another one the next day. The step.

And repeat.

Oh.

Okay, teach me. I'm ready.

Good. Because I have a lot to teach.

Yeah. Well, I have a lot to learn.

And this is your chance, Maurice.

Thank you.

Because Sabrina is officially stepping into her whole thing.

Her whole thing?

Yes. I'm scared a little bit, but it's also turning me on.

Let's do it, bitch.

This is Andy.

I apologize that I didn't get to see you off.

You will never believe what happened.

Actually, I'm sure you're sick of all the strange things that I get myself

I heard your voicemail, and I think that you're right, that maybe I need some

time to figure things out.

I can't really even think about a relationship until I unravel all the

heart has taken.

But I hope we can be friends.

Okay, that's all for now. Please call me if you want to talk.

Hello?

Hi, Rhonda.

Oh, thanks for calling me back, yeah.

Now, I promise that your privacy will be protected.

Yes, it's risky.

No, no, I... Absolutely. We are only interested explicitly

in Dr. Cruz's patients.

What?

Last night?

Okay, you've got to be kidding me. So soon after Karen?

She bled out.

What was the patient's name?

Tisha Halstead. Tisha Halstead. Why does that sound familiar?

Oh, my goodness.

That's my law school classmate.

Yeah.

Are you okay?

Yeah.

Did you need some?

Karen, baby, can you just talk to me?

Stop what?

I can't.

You can't what, Karen?

I need to cook.

Karen, I can get you whatever you want.

No, I'm just going to cook dinner.

You don't have to do that, okay?

I can make it so.

Thank you for being a deep sleeper like your daddy.

Karen, look, I can order out for us.

I was trying to reach Karen. Is she picking up?

Call back tomorrow.

Oh, God. She done dropped off on him.

Hey, Karen.

Look, how about you take a seat and relax, right? And maybe what if you

some time with Faith, right?

Maybe it'd be good for you if you held her.

Come here.

Come here.

Wait, let's just grab a seat for a second. Let's sit down.

What's happening?

Just stay with me, okay? Just come here real quick. I just want you to grab a

seat.

Take your time. Take it easy.

It's okay.

Okay. Come on.

Karen, just look at me.

It's okay.

What do you want in there?

Just trying to make sure you don't have any falling cups of coffee over there.

No. But I do have a fully charged stun gun in my purse.

You do not want peace at all.

It's obvious, okay? But that's fine, Danny.

Two can play that game.

It's at first sight from now on.

It's on sight, you clown.

Why are you... even here i have been tasked with passing out the instructions

for the processing and the boarding of passengers we both know that you of all

people okay thanks leonard you can get the hell on now you why are you sweating

you know that's not a good look for greeting passengers right yeah that's

you know what else isn't a good look I started whooping your ass in front of

these people. If you don't get out of here in five, that's four, three, two,

one. It's at first sight.

It's at first sight for now. You don't learn a damn thing on sight.

Thank you so much, Rhonda.

Please give me a call back if you get any more information.

Bye.

He's the host, Dad.

Andy, have we closed the Milton file?

Andy, are you all right?

Oh, I'm sorry. What was that?

I said, are you all right?

Oh, I'm fine.

So have we closed the Milton file?

Yes, we closed the Milton file. It's being messengered downtown to the county

clerk. Okay. I have an addendum to tack on. Can you get it filed with the county

clerk as well?

Absolutely. I'll get Fatima right on it.

So, are you sure you're okay?

You seem a bit distracted.

I'm fine.

Considering everything that's happened, it's okay if you need to take some time

off.

I don't need any time off, Bradley. I promise I'm fine.

I've been investigating a doctor, and I was considering bringing a lawsuit

against him.

Really? What's going on?

Well, one of my friends, Karen Mott, she had a really traumatic experience

giving birth. She had twins, and she lost one of them because of the doctor's

negligence. Oh, I am so sorry to hear that.

Thank you for your condolences.

But as I mentioned, I've been investigating this doctor, and he has

complaints and maternal mortalities, especially when women of color are

concerned. That's horrible.

This doctor is Dr.

Cruz. Dr. Cruz?

What's his first name?

Brett Cruz.

Thought I recognized that name.

Rest my golfing buddy.

It's really very simple, Sabrina.

Let's check the board. If you are going to be a hoe, you have to be the best hoe

in town.

Okay, Maurice, but I don't know if I want to be best hoe.

Oh, girl, if I'm teaching you how to be a hoe, your middle name is going to be

hoe.

Sabrina, the middle -aged hoe junior.

Really?

First rule of hoedom.

No falling in love.

Oh, you will not have to worry about that with me.

You're lying.

Number two, no kissing on the mouth.

No. Okay.

That's right.

All right. I got it. And number three, best of all, when you have someone

over, put him out when you're done or get out when he done.

I don't know. It seems kind of harsh, all of this.

Harsh is the way.

That's what hold him is, being harsh.

What nice hoe you know?

Okay, so there's no cuddling? Oh, girl.

We cuddle with a teddy bear.

We cuddle with the long pillows we buy to put quicks on legs.

Legs. The man is only there to serve one purpose.

The purpose.

Oh, which is?

You! What?

The purpose is you.

Right, right, right. Me.

You. To service you. That's what that is for.

Right.

Right. Yeah. To service me.

You. Get down. You serve me.

Uh -oh.

I'll come in.

Hi. Hi, Paige.

Can I help you?

Oh, yeah, I was just coming in to check if you were okay.

That's so sweet.

You know, I know that we haven't always seen eye to eye, but you never let

outsiders come in and mess with the family.

Thank you.

Yeah, of course.

And I can throw paws if you need me to. Hands.

Sorry? Throw hands. Throw hands if you need me to. I taught her that.

Okay, but you two being friends is still...

Very weird to me.

I'm in here teaching her how to do horticulture.

Hold them.

Holstery.

I'm teaching her holstery.

Oh, well, if I may, you know, it's always important to

keep the conversation light, easy.

Don't share any personal information.

In fact, I honestly really think you should get a burner phone. A burner

Now, Paige.

What?

I did not know you had a Ph .D. in prostitution.

Well, also, one more thing.

Try to, if you can, avoid taking anybody back to your place.

There's always that one clingy guy that you cannot get rid of.

What's up, baby?

Hey. I was just checking to see if you ate that food.

Danny ate most of it.

That sounds about right.

How was your time with Danny?

It was good.

I loved that girl.

Dropped off some wisdom.

Caused more jokes.

I'm sure you needed that.

I did.

Especially with so much going on.

It definitely has.

Seems like it's just...

One thing after the other. Like, I can't even catch my breath before another

thing pop up.

Hey, it's life, babe.

Sometimes you get a streak of craziness before the calm.

Is it really, though?

So you're telling me everybody goes to one of their friends being kidnapped and

then losing their baby in 48 hours?

Yep. Maybe not exactly that.

And I forgot about the fact that we were both suspects in a stabbing and we

didn't have nothing to do with.

Sam, it has been crazy, but Zach, we're getting through it.

And you know I'm here.

I know.

That's why I love you.

Look, we definitely have had some trying times.

I just hope we all try it out.

No, but seriously, babe, we have had our season of darkness. I think we're due

for some good times.

Right about that.

Yeah.

So what else you got up for the day?

I don't know.

Probably go check on Michael.

Probably hit the gym.

I don't know. I just need to think.

Okay, babe. Well, just don't overdo it, okay?

I won't.

All right.

I'll talk to you later. I love you.

I love you, Mom.

All right. Bye.

That's your golfing buddy?

How long have you known him? I've known old Cruz for many years now.

And in that time, has he done or said anything questionable?

No.

What did you say he had to do with this suit again?

He was the lead physician during Karen's pregnancy.

Well, what exactly happened?

Karen was feeling distressed, her and the baby. She expressed that to Dr. Cruz

and he dismissed it as normal.

Well, maybe it was normal. He is a doctor. I don't think so.

She was clammy, vomiting, she was in pain, her blood pressure was low.

I don't know what sort of symptoms you can experience during labor, but...

Bradley, Fatima was there.

My friend was expressing her concern, and after that doctor did nothing,

ran to another doctor in the hallway. His name was Reginald Vaughn.

Brought him in, and at the mere mention of Dr. Cruz's name, he leaped in to

help.

Or maybe this Dr. Vaughn did something wrong. No, he did not. In fact, he saved

her life and the life of her other child.

Do you know this for certain?

Bradley, not only do I know that, but as a matter of fact, he did an ultrasound

where we discovered that the fetus had expired.

And Dr.

Cruz was allowing the fetus to remain in Karen, causing damage to her and

putting the other baby at risk.

Annie, this doesn't sound anything like the Dr. Cruz I know. Why would he do

such a thing? Because your friend is a racist.

What? That's ridiculous.

It would be ridiculous if he didn't have other complaints, countless other

complaints against him. How many complaints?

Enough to where I can bring a medical malpractice and discrimination lawsuit

against him. Whoa, Annie.

I think you're jumping the gun on this.

I don't think so.

I've known this man for quite some time, and I have never heard the first racist

word come out of his mouth ever. He's a highly respected doctor. That does not

dismiss the fact that my friend lost her baby.

Again, I am sorry about this. He made her lose her child, and she almost

lost her life and the life of her other child because he wouldn't listen and do

his job.

Andy, do you think maybe you're just a little too close to this?

Excuse me? I mean, I keep hearing you say my friend. I wonder if that's what's

pushing all of this. Of course, that was my push, Bradley. Well, there you go.

That would be the only thing, except there are countless black and brown

who have had this experience with your friend.

I'm sorry, Bradley, but your friend has a pattern of discriminatory negligence.

I am sorry about your friend's baby. I truly am. But... But I'm just not

any concrete evidence to...

What do you think this is?

What do you think this is?

All you have are a few complaining patients.

I want some concrete evidence, Andy.

Not just some bullshit that you printed up.

It's okay.

Should I call your mom?

Okay, I'm going to be right over here for a second.

Okay.

Hello?

Hey, Aaron. I'm just calling to check on Karen.

I called her earlier. She didn't answer, and she hasn't called me back, so I

thought I'd try you.

How's she doing?

Uh, honestly, no, she's not doing very well.

Oh, man.

What's going on?

I mean, she did come out of the room, finally.

Well, that sounds like a good thing.

Yeah, but she's acting really strange.

Listen, Aaron, I'm at work, so I really don't have time to put the puzzle pieces

together. Like, what's she doing?

Like, I mean, she's walking around in a daze, and she's doing things she doesn't

normally do.

Okay, like what?

Like... Right now, she was in the kitchen trying to cook.

Cooking? Oh, no.

I know.

Yeah, I don't think Karen can boil an egg.

It's really weird.

Okay, I keep trying to get her to talk to me, but she just won't.

Okay, well, is she bonding with the baby, or... No.

And I keep asking her to just hold the baby or feed the baby, and she doesn't

respond to me.

All right, um...

I'm going to call Andy and see if, you know, we can both come after work.

That's great.

Maybe she'll talk to you guys.

Okay.

But, you know, whatever you do, don't eat whatever she's cooking. It's

toxic, and that baby needs one well -parent.

Thanks, Andy.

Anyway, so they both proposed in the same week. And I had to say, guys, this

not love. It's Jack Beck.

Oh, my goodness, Paige.

I didn't realize you were such a... Ho!

I'm proud, girl. Your rotation is thicker than Lori Harvey.

Oh, well, I wouldn't say it's Lori Harvey good, but thank you.

On another note.

Let's figure out the type of man we need to get for you.

Oh, okay.

I'm thinking tall.

Mm -hmm.

Complexion somewhere in between dark chocolate and caramel.

Oh, yes.

Me loves a large glass of chocolate milk.

Wait a minute, Miss Doubtfire.

Sorry, I heard it.

Uh -huh.

You know how to season your chicken first.

Big chest.

Yeah.

chiseled abs, wide back. Oh, what about a bald head?

Mm -mm.

No more bald heads.

Oh. We are looking for edge and edge in. Mm -hmm, mm -hmm. We're done with

alopecia. Okay, but Maurice, everything you're talking about is how you look.

Yeah.

Now we need to talk about how you look.

Me? Oh, yeah, girl. If you want to get a gladiator, you have to wear something

that can start and stop a war.

Oh, okay.

I have that.

This thing that you have, does it live in your closet?

Yeah. It's brand new. I didn't even take the tags off yet.

That's saying a lot.

You know, at first I thought it was a little risque, but no, no, I can wear

this, yeah.

I'm good, Maurice, clearly.

I'm going to come pick you up.

Yeah, I'm gonna just come pick you up before we go. No, Maurice, it's okay.

don't have to pick me up. Oh, I got plenty of gas.

It's okay. I can pick you up or we can meet there. No, no, no, no. I'm gonna

come to your house and make sure that they are working and that I can just

at your outfit, make sure we match.

Maurice, please.

I am a grown woman.

I know how to put myself together.

Girl, what's wrong with you? You need a throat lozenge or something?

No, I just... Did you

want to go out with us?

Oh, tonight?

Gosh, you know, I already have plans, but... Oh, jeez, you know, I can feed

homeless another night. Yeah, yes.

Mind if I jump in?

Yeah.

What's up?

What's up?

Man, you good, young man?

I'm fine.

All right, man.

Look, I need this.

You know, this gym, this is my... This is my release.

Yeah.

How about you?

Come out here to clear your mind a little bit?

I guess.

Right?

Well, ain't nothing like a little exercise.

You know, give you some clarity, free your mind.

So look, man, not trying to pry, but I see you, uh, something's bothering you.

It's just life, life.

Right.

I hear you.

Well, there ain't nothing like a little bit of exercise.

Clear your mind a little bit.

That's what it's supposed to do?

Well, I mean, if you want it to, you can.

It ain't working.

Yeah, so look, also don't hurt to have a listening ear, you know?

Thanks. I'm good.

Well, if you need one, I'm here.

You know, at least for an hour.

Hey, by the way, my name is Keys.

What's that?

Say my name. It's Keys.

Like Keys to the house?

Yeah, man, like Keys to the house.

How about you?

What's your name?

Zach.

Ray.

Well, nice to meet you, Zach.

You don't, uh, you don't talk much, huh?

A lot of my mind is deep.

Well, you don't today.

I can understand that.

But if you need somebody to talk to, you know, I'll be here at least an hour.

Right? No pressure.

Cool.

Good.

Thanks.

It's all right, man.

You know, just as long as you know, brother.

Ain't no shame in a man needing some help sometime.

Somebody to talk to.

What the hell do you want now, Hayden?

I just thought maybe I could help you out with K -Dub's account.

I feel like I could be some assistance.

Hell no.

No, not doing that. Come on, Fatima.

Just let me help you out.

And exactly why would I need your help?

Because I know everything about him.

From his junior league win over Woodson, college championship, I mean, to him

dominating the league today.

That's still not telling me why I need your help.

Well, you remember, my specialty is tag law.

Things can get a little tricky when you're dealing with that many zeros.

And I know K -Dub got a lot of zeros in his account.

But this would be a good look for you, Fatima, and for the firm, if we can set

up a solid foundation.

Go ahead, Linda.

Ms. Wilson, there's another basketball player here to see you.

He says his name is Chaz Duncan.

Okay, yeah. Can you put him in the conference room for me?

All right.

Thank you.

Wow. You got a meeting with Chaz Duncan?

Damn.

Chaz Duncan beats Duncan on people. This is dope. You don't even know how dope

this is.

You got to let me help you out, for real.

This could be huge for us.

I promise.

I'm going to be professional.

Is that all you promise?

And I promise I ain't going to overstep and I ain't going to get on your nerves.

Please.

Okay. You can help me on this one. Yeah. You can join me on the meeting which

has Duncan.

All right?

Yeah.

Hey, Duncan. Come here.

Yeah. Come here.

Yeah.

If you mess this up, I promise you, you'll go missing.

And no one will find you.

Ever. Okay?

Get you together.

Let's go.

All right. Chad Duncan. Big Duncan, huh?

Yeah. All right.

Go fix your tie.

Oh, hey, Andy. I was going to call you.

Perfect. Have you heard from Sabrina or Karen?

No, I tried to call her, and so I actually just talked to Aaron.

And he said that she's doing strange stuff.

Strange how?

Child, he said she was cooking.

Karen does not cook.

So I was going to ask you if you want to go after work.

Yeah, I think we should.

We should probably pick her up something to eat, right?

Absolutely. Because whatever she made is not edible. And I don't think it's any

better if Miss Lisa made it.

Danny.

I saw her bake chicken one time, and girl, it was light skin and ashy. It was

ashy.

Okay, so what should we pick up?

She likes that gumbo from Creole Corner.

Oh, they do have good gumbo. That's right.

Oh. Danny, I've been meaning to tell you, I've been doing more research on

Cruz. It turns out he is a racist, murdering doctor who takes pro -life

to another level.

Girl, I knew he was Dr.

Def Kevorkian the minute I laid eyes on him.

One of his latest victims went to law school with me. She was miscarrying, and

he refused to perform a DNC, and she bled out.

Wow, Andy, I'm so sorry to hear that. Yeah. I presented it to Mr. Benson so

we can get a lawsuit against him, and it turns out that they're golfing buddies.

Oh, hell.

He claims that all I have are a bunch of complaints and that I need to bring

more evidence.

Well, you know them extremists gonna stick together, girl.

Girl, I know it.

You know, they say that they're pro -life, right? But the minute them babies

born, they don't care nothing about it. How you pro -life, hmm? How?

No, I'm gonna get the evidence.

I promise you that.

Speaking of things that we need, when is my settlement check coming?

It's a process, Danny, but you're going to get it soon.

Okay. Like what soon?

Like, do we have an idea of what soon is?

There is a waiting period.

They have to decide whether they want to appeal or not.

Appeal? Andy, why are they going to appeal?

Don't worry about it. They won't.

We just have to honor the waiting period.

Okay, well, I just need it sooner than later because I didn't max out my credit

cards buying a few things that I need.

Danny, what did you purchase?

You know, essentials, you know?

Something you really needed. And what was it?

Two 24 -karat vapes and emerald cut nipple rings.

Wait, when did you get nipple piercing?

Hey, talk to you later.

Karen, are you with me?

I just wanted to be helpful, make a little dinner.

I know.

I know, listen, I know you're going through it, okay?

I know it might take some time to get back to yourself.

I'm trying to shake this feeling.

But it's a lot.

I know, I know, it's a lot. It's a lot.

I know.

And I don't want you to put too much pressure on yourself, okay?

Just take your time.

And I hope you don't mind, but I ordered us some delivery just in case. So I

don't mind.

Okay. Okay, good. Because it's here now.

All right, so I'm going to go get it.

You think you'll be okay?

Yeah. Yeah. Yeah, sure.

Okay, I'll be one minute.

Okay.

Like, something's always lurking around the corner. You know, like it just don't

seem fair.

Man, I feel that all too well. And, you know, I understand.

Do you?

Absolutely.

Look, when I lost my son to cancer three years old, I thought it was the worst

thing that could ever happen to me.

Right?

But that wasn't the last.

Sorry to hear that.

Every day was something else.

Another family member thing.

My wife losing a job.

Man, the hits just kept coming, coming.

How'd you get through that?

A lot of patience and praying.

I hear you.

I get it. I'm trying. Trust me, I am. I just can't really see that right now.

You got to be mindful.

You got to be mindful and use wisdom in those times.

You know?

Trying.

Just don't.

Can't see it. Yeah, but you got to take your time.

One day at a time.

Okay? God won't put more on you than you can handle.

Doesn't really feel like that.

It's not going to.

But you got to know that things are going to be all right.

You got to buckle down.

You got this. You're still breathing.

You're still alive, right?

Yeah. Then you can handle it.

We're here, man.

You need somebody to call sometime, man. It's cool.

It's all right.

I'll give you my number, man. You can hit me anytime, brother.

We ain't got to do this thing alone, for real.

Thank you.

You're welcome. Because, like, you don't know me.

You don't have to do this, man. Just thank you.

Anytime, man.

Speaking of this, this mindfulness thing, I got something I got to do.

It's going to be good, brother.

Beth, be back.

Right.

Hold on, hold on.

I've arrived.

Hello, Maurice.

What are you doing here so early? I'm not even ready yet. Of course you are,

because I haven't yet dressed.

you.

Do you like it?

Am I blind?

Girl, what the is this?

No.

No.

Shit, no.

What is wrong with you? Are you going to Woman Evolved?

I'm so glad I'm here early so that you're not out here looking like a

Woman, thou art a loser.

What?

Try this.

Yes. Go on, put it on. I don't know about that. I don't need you to know.

All I need to know is it's time for you to finally dress your age, granny.

Go put it on.

Maureen. Put it on! One,

two, that's right, march!

Uh -oh, there she is. I know that's right, a freaking dress.

No less.

You the best.

I think it's really short.

And I think you're really dumb.

But why are we thinking? I know everything.

You know nothing.

Listen to me.

This looks great. You look great. You finally look your age. Not like a

grandmama.

Next.

Next!

Damn it. No!

Now, let's go find some balls.

Yes, let's.

Yes, let's.

Thank you.

Finished?

Here, I'll clean all this up, okay?

Hey, here. It's me. I'm just checking on you.

You don't have to call me back or anything.

I just wanted to say, girl,

I don't know what to say, but I love you.

Come in.

Next on Sister.

Where's Katie?

Um, you ready to have a real conversation?

Raining men in here. And I knew that ladies night would be the perfect night.

Let's come. Yeah, I'm ready, I think.

Hi, Fatima. And is this the Chaz Duncan you have here with you? I guess you
