Original subtitles

I'm just here to try to make things right

and right my wrongs.

[Danni] Previously on Sistas.

Do you want me to be mad at this man for the rest of my life?

Point made.

But you've been doing a lot of lying.

-What are you doing here? -I came to check in with you.

You and I have a professional relationship only.

-I think Karen is fine. -How can you be so sure?

Karen is not gonna do anything

to herself or to that sweet little baby.

My friend Karen, she's gone missing.

She's a grieving mother.

A lot of women grieve differently.

[suspenseful music]

Karen?

-Oh. -Hi, ladies.

Oh, Mr. Green, you got here before we did.

Uh, yeah, I was in the area on another call.

Okay, so, did you find out anything?!

No, unfortunately...

But some of my colleagues did speak

to her mother down at the station.

Then she filed a missing persons report.

Okay, good. So you all are looking for her?

Yes.

We have five officers out there right now,

but if they don't find her in the next few hours,

they're gonna have to issue an Amber alert.

[suspenseful music]

So what are we supposed to do?

Just sit here and wait for the worst?

I know it's hard right now,

but it's important to gather as many details as possible.

Does anybody remember anything that was odd

in the time leading up to Karen's disappearance?

I mean, she's been more withdrawn,

but she just had a baby, you know?

So it's probably postpartum depression.

Most mothers experience that.

And she is currently grieving the loss of her child,

so that's important to... note that.

Her mother told me about the twin.

I mean, it's important to know that she hasn't really bonded

with the child that did survive.

[somber music]

Oh, um... what about the note she left?

-Are there any clues there? -I read it, and historically,

if someone's left something like that,

it means that they've...

they've contemplated or already committed suicide.

[tense music]

-Hello? -[Karen] Hey, Fatima.

-Karen? -Shh.

Don't say my name so loud, please.

Wait... Karen, what... What is going on? Whose number is this?

Look, I can't talk for long, okay?

[sighs deeply] Okay, Karen, you scarin' me... Are you at home?

No, look, I'm at this place, and I ain't got my phone or nothing.

I just, you know...

What place are you... Hold on. Hold on. Let... Let me get Zac.

No! No, this ain't none of Zac's business, okay?

O-okay. All right. It's... It's just me and you.

What... What is going on? You're scaring me.

Are you in danger? Is Faith with you?

I cannot explain right now, okay?

I will text you the address. Come alone.

-[door slams] -Look, I gotta go, okay?

-I'll text you the address. Bye. -Karen, what was that noise?

What is this place? Zac! Zac!

[sighs deeply, whispers] For the love of...

[upbeat R&B music] ♪ All my girls hold me down ♪

♪ When them boys mess around ♪

♪ When my love life is a headache ♪

♪ We're goin' out tonight 'cause I'm lookin' for love ♪

Zac... Zachary Taylor?

[tense music]

[phone rings]

Wait a second... Hey.

Hey, where are you?

-[Zac] I'm at Karen's. -Wait, you're where?

Before you say anything... Karen is missing.

Her and Faith are gone.

[tense music continues]

Zac, why didn't you wake me up?

Well, obviously, I'm on couch duty and...

to be honest, I ain't even really want to worry you.

[sighs] So you thought leaving in the middle of the night

without saying anything was better?

No, it's not, all right? That's my fault.

But did you not hear what I said?

Yeah. I-I'm sorry. What else is Miss Lisa saying?

[scoffs] Not much.

Like... a-apparently, Karen left some cryptic note,

talking about how she wanted to end it all.

[Zac] So now Andi, Danni, and Sabrina...

They all on their way.

But they don't really know much. This shit is wild.

[sighs]

She ain't, like, pop up or nothing, right?

Like, you know how she likes to do that?

-[Zac] Fatima? -Huh? Yeah, yeah. I'm here.

[Zac] Well, has she popped up, like...

No, no, no. She hasn't.

Well... you'll call me if she does?

All right, I will.

All right, uh, let me get back to these people.

[Fatima] All right Call me later, okay?

All right. Bet.

[sighs deeply] Shit!

-[suspenseful music] -[Fatima sighs]

Excuse me, Officer, are you saying that Karen hurt herself?

No, that's not what I'm implying.

I'm just listing out the possibilities.

Well, that's not possible, so think of something else.

O-okay, ladies, let's just not attack Officer Green.

He's great at his job.

Um... I think what he's saying is

that we're just weighing the options.

Yes... Thank you, Andi.

And, if you remember anything else helpful,

stay behind for an individual statement.

-That'd be great. -Honestly,

I'd rather get inside to see if there's any more clues.

-[somber music] -Same.

-Yeah. -Well, let us know

if there's something you find.

Yeah. Of course.

Yeah, I'll... I'll... I'll do it.

-Okay, thanks. -Mm-hmm.

[somber music continues]

-Hey, thank you for this, uh... -Danni. Danni King.

[Officer Green] Okay.

It's like I don't even...

[gasps shakily] I don't even recognize myself.

[somber music]

I look in the mirror and... [breathes deeply]

I see a stranger.

[somber music continues]

To see a... [sighs deeply] a woman who was so tired...

-So tired... -[somber music continues]

[breathes shakily] I love my baby. I do.

-[whimpers, sniffles] -[somber music continues]

But sometimes...

-[somber music continues] -[sighs]

Sometimes I'm just afraid...

[somber music continues]

...to hold her for too long.

-[sniffles, sighs] -[somber music continues]

'Cause I'm afraid...

that I'll break.

[somber music continues]

Or she'll see that I'm broken. I don't know.

You're not broken, Karen. You're healing.

[sniffling]

Honestly, I am just so glad that I found this place.

[sniffles]

-Really, I am. -[Brenda] Of course.

And I want to thank you all for being here tonight.

You know, Forever Grace Circle is a healing space.

[Karen hums in agreement]

Losing a child is something

no mother should ever have to endure.

But you don't have to endure it alone.

-[sniffling] -[somber music continues]

I'll see you all next time. And remember our mantra...

Through shared grief, we find strength.

Yes. I'll get it next time.

-[sniffling] -[clapping]

-Thank you. -Nice job, ladies.

-[clapping fades] -[somber music continues]

[sighs deeply, sniffles] Oh, my gosh.

-[sniffles] Thank you. -[somber music continues]

Oh, you made it. Hey.

-Oh, thanks for coming. -Of course.

-Oh, gosh. -Karen, w... what is this place?

[sighs deeply] A lifeline.

-[sighs] Karen... -No. Listen, Fatima. [sighs]

I was drowning, okay?

[somber music continues]

With everything happening and just losing Forever, I...

With everything happening and just losing Forever, I...

[sighing]

...felt like my world was cavin' in on me and...

[Karen breathes shakily]

I woke up...

in the morning, and I just thought... [breathes shakily]

"Today, it... it's gotta be different," right?

[Fatima] Yeah.

But it wasn't. [breathes shakily] So...

I packed a bag and I grabbed Faith and...

[sighs] I just left.

[somber music continues]

I didn't know this was what I was lookin' for... Gosh.

Karen, I don't understand. So you just left and came here?

Yeah. I found this place online.

-Okay. -[Karen] And it's for women

who lost a child... or know the pain

that I'm going through.

-[Karen] So... -[somber music continues]

-Oh.. Hey. -Karen.

Thank you so much for joining us tonight

and for sharing your story with the group.

No, thank you for even having a place like this, really.

-Hmm. -Oh, um, Brenda, Fatima.

-Fatima... -Hello.

-It's nice to meet you. -Yes.

Karen was so brave for coming tonight.

I'm so proud of her.

And it's nice to see she has support.

Yeah. Um... For sure.

[Brenda] You know, I started this with just three women.

And it was hard. But look at us now.

We provide comfort, hope,

support to families who've lost someone, whether it's a child,

a sibling or a grandbaby.

It's personal.

We're here to help folks heal and to teach others how

to show up for them.

Karen, you are always welcome to come back.

Fatima, you're welcome to join her anytime.

Thank you. This is... [sighs]

really inspiring to hear.

Yeah. Thank you so much, Brenda.

-Really, I mean that. -Absolutely.

And I'll be calling you ladies.

-Yes. -All right.

-[somber music continues] -[sighing]

[sighs deeply] Karen, I'm...

I'm really glad you're getting the help you need.

-Yeah. -[somber music continues]

But, um, I talked to Zac.

I told you not to tell him, Fatima.

-He called. -[Karen sighs]

Listen, your mom, Aaron, the girls?

They're at your house going crazy right now.

-[Karen] What? -They said you left some note

talking about ending something?

And they have the cops looking for you!... Yes.

Oh... no! No.

That was a note just...

of my thoughts that I was writing to myself.

What?

Yeah, they read it.

Listen, you disappear in the middle of the night

with your child and leave a cryptic note.

What do you expect people to do?

I don't know. But they called the cops?

-Yes. -[Karen] Oh, my God.

Just... Just sit with me for a minute, okay, please?

-[Fatima] All right. -[sighs deeply]

-[somber music] -[door clicks]

Oh, Officer Green had a call, so...

[door clicks]

-So what did he say about Karen? -Nothing.

[somber music]

So we just have to sit and wait?

Yeah... Patience isn't exactly my virtue either.

-[somber music continues] -[breathing deeply]

We will be fine.

But how can you be so sure?

[sighs]

You know, I have watched Karen face some horrific stuff.

I know she's feeling a little lost right now,

but she'll find her way back.

Mm... She gets her toughness from you, huh?

[Lisa chuckles]

Well, you know, once a Marine, always a Marine.

Yeah. You scare me.

Same... Just a little bit.

Good.

[chuckles] Excuse me, ladies.

[sighing heavily]

Where's Aaron?

He's in her room trying to find something else.

[sighs]

-[somber music continues] -Damn, Karen.

It's going to be a long night. [sighs]

I'm gonna go get my laptop out of the car.

I'm gonna come with you. I could use some air.

[somber music continues]

You look like shit!

[snickering]

-Really? -[snickering]

[Danni] Just calling it like I see it.

[upbeat music]

I'm just thinking.

[upbeat music continues]

[smacks lips] That thinkin' smells a lot like Henny.

You might wanna sober up, negro.

It's been rough at home.

Fatima got me sleeping on the couch.

[upbeat music continues]

Well, what'd you do now?

[upbeat music continues]

One of her little clients found himself coming

to my house today.

I -- lost it.

[upbeat music continues]

So, it's... Is your house now?

-[upbeat music continues] -[sighing]

It's the same shit she said.

But... this little -- rolled up with an expensive-ass gift

for my wife.

It had me all the way -- up!

[upbeat music continues]

Lord, I've seen what you've done for others!

-Danni! Focus. -Do it for me.

[upbeat music continues]

Okay... What'd she say?

[upbeat music continues]

About not doing nothing with him...

[upbeat music continues]

...or about me calling her a groupie?

[upbeat music continues]

You really trying to get kicked out of your own house?

You know Fatima's a good one, right?

Fatima? --, you my friend!

When y'all two become so gal-pal-ish? Like...

You've been knowing we cool. Come on now.

There's just a lot going on.

And then all this Karen stuff...

I don't even know no more, Danni.

-Zac... -[gentle music]

That's why I'm telling you to sober up, okay?

Fatima loves you. Focus on that!

This Karen stuff...

She gonna be all right.

Yeah, I know.

[Danni] She's gonna be all right.

[gentle music continues]

I'm tellin' you: I ain't got no more room on my couch, negro.

-[scoffs] I love you, Danni. -[Danni] I love you, too.

I'm just... I'm telling you,

Danni ain't gonna make room on the couch.

Got you, I got you. [scoffs] I got you.

[door creaks]

-Hey, y'all. -[door clicks]

-It's you. -Well done.

Good to see you, too, Danni. Hey, mom.

Hey, Pam. Any action on your behalf?

Nope... I waited at the salon and she never showed up.

Could she be with one of her favorite clients?

Favorite... this late? They don't like her like that.

Okay, maybe another employee?

Employee? They don't like her either.

I'm the only one who actually like Karen.

[upbeat music]

Well, you probably, um...

confused that I called you here, huh?

[chuckles] Yeah, you definitely caught me off guard.

It's not like we're exactly friends.

It was definitely givin' set-up. [sighs deeply]

I get that.

We, uh... definitely have our differences.

But it wasn't about all that. So... [inhales deeply]

So why me?

Why not your mom or one of the girls?

[sighs] You're right. Look, um...

[sighs] You're right. Look, um...

I know we have a history.

-A complicated history. -Yeah.

But... I knew you wouldn't judge me.

You know? You bring a different kind of energy.

And I definitely need that tonight.

-Mm... Who am I to judge? -[gentle music]

But what's going on, Karen, that caused you to do this?

[gentle music continues]

I don't even know where to start.

I mean... one minute I'm angry and the next I'm sad.

[gentle music continues]

I don't even recognize myself.

[gentle music continues]

And I know my body's still recovering, but...

-[gentle music continues] -[sighing heavily]

...I feel so lost.

[gentle music continues]

'Cause I don't even care.

[gentle music continues]

I got my business, my friends...

[gentle music continues]

...my mama, myself.

[gentle music continues]

Everything just feels numb.

Karen, um...

I can't even pretend like I know what you're going through

'cause I don't.

But this is a heavy load to carry alone,

and you shouldn't have to carry it by yourself, okay?

[gentle music continues]

I think that's why God led me here.

[gentle music continues]

You know, I was listenin' to all the other women talk.

And for the first time...

I felt like someone finally understood.

-Karen... I'm so sorry! -[Karen sighs]

Thank you.

[gentle music]

-[Lisa] Oh my God. -[Aaron] Oh my God, Karen!

-[Danni] Hey... -Karen, where have you been?

-Are you okay? -It's okay.

-Is Faith okay? -Yes, we're okay.

Can I see her, please?

-Yes, just gently. -Hey, baby.

-Watch her head. -[Aaron] I got it.

Hey, baby. There's my girl.

-Hey, baby. -Oh, baby. Oh, my God.

I'm so glad you're home. You had us scared to death.

-I'm sorry. -It's okay.

[gentle music]

Oh my God.

I thought I told you to call me if she popped up.

[sighs] She didn't.

So how'd you end up here together?

Zac... Not now.

-Oh, okay. -I was so worried about you.

[Andi] We were so terrified.

I wasn't. I knew your ass was all right.

Exactly!

You just needed a little drink, huh?

[breathes deeply] No, Pam.

I did not go get a drink. No.

[Sabrina] Then where were you, Karen?

[gentle music continues]

Because you left us a note.

[sighs] Okay, look...

That was just my thoughts, okay?

No one was supposed to see it.

[gentle music continues]

Honey, where did you go?

That's the million dollar question.

[gentle music continues]

I was feeling this pull to get help... real help.

So I found a support group called Forever Grace Circle.

So let me get this straight:

you left us confused and terrified...

to go to a group meeting?

Andi, I don't expect you to understand.

[sighs] Well, honey, it's just that you left in such a hurry.

I mean, first thing, you were sitting right there with Faith,

and then, the next thing, you were gone.

I was spiraling. I went to Doctor Vaughn.

He gave me a pamphlet, okay?

I went online, and I found Forever Grace.

I knew it was my angel leading me there, I knew it.

Well, girl, you could have shot us a text or something.

Okay, you know what? I'm sorry. I'm sorry, okay?

Tryin' to talk to y'all...

Sometimes it's like... [sighs deeply]

Andi, y-you... You busy, right? You busy with the case.

Danni, you could be a bit aggressive.

Brina, you be kumbaya sometimes.

And Pam... Well...

Look, I just wanted to be around women who could really relate.

-That's all. -Well, read us why don't you!

[gentle music continues]

Karen, we didn't know that you felt that way.

[gentle music continues]

But you know that we're not sistas without you.

[gentle music continues]

Honey, I knew you were all right.

I could feel it in my soul.

[sighs] But, you know,

I had to think about what you were going through.

And the thought of losing you is just unbearable.

[gentle music continues]

And knowing that what you have gone through....

and to have been able to come out on the other side?

Oh my God. You know, it's... [breathes deeply]

You have no idea. It's a miracle.

You are stronger than you know.

[gentle music continues]

[Karen] Fatima came to pick me up.

I called her.

[gentle music continues]

Karen, you know that if you would have called us,

any of us would have showed up for you.

[gentle music continues]

[Karen] Of course.

But, you know...

Fatima and I have gotten closer.

And I do trust her.

[gentle music continues]

Okay.

I'm not gonna pretend that's not weird, but who cares?

-You're home safe. -[Karen] Thank you.

Thank you, everyone, for coming, okay?

I'm sorry, but I really appreciate knowing how much you

care about Faith and I. [sniffles]

Andi...

[gentle music continues]

I would love it if you could call

the women in my support group.

-What for? -To represent them...

Maybe.

Some of them were patients of Doctor Cruise.

[tense music]

-Really? How many women? -Two.

-[Karen] Coincidence? -Yeah. I'll see what I can do.

Thank you.

All right, well, I'm gonna get out of here.

[gentle music]

Okay. All right. Thank you for answering my call.

Of course. I'm not gonna pretend like I wasn't surprised

that you knew my number by heart, but--

-[Karen] I wish I didn't. -Yeah.

[Karen] But I'm glad I did.

-All right. Take care. Bye. -Thank you.

[Fatima] Yeah, of course.

So... that's my cue to leave.

Karen, I'm happy you're home and you're safe.

Karen, I'm happy you're home and you're safe.

-[Karen] Thanks. -All right.

-Thank you, Zac. -You already know, miss.

[gentle music continues]

Thank you.

Karen... [lips smack]

Later, y'all.

-Bye. -[Zac] Yo.

-Appreciate you, brother. -[Zac] Yes, sir.

Ooh, child. I'm going home. This is too much for me.

Before you yell at me tomorrow, I will be late in the morning,

just in case you check the cameras.

-Mm-hm. I understand. Come on. -Damn, girl.

This support group made you nice.

-[Karen] Bitch... -I'ma check on you tomorrow.

-[Karen] All right. Good night. -[Pam] Good night, Karen.

[Lisa] Bye, Pam.

I think I'm gonna get goin' myself.

-Oh. -I'm glad you're back.

-[Karen] Yeah. -Love you.

[gentle music continues]

Yeah, I'm gonna go too, get a couple hours of sleep.

-[Karen] Okay. -Don't ever do that again.

-[sighs] I won't. -I love you.

-I love you. -[gentle music continues]

-Bye. -[gentle music continues]

[Danni] Well, hell...

[gentle music continues]

I guess I'll go on home to my stay-at-home man, too.

[gentle music continues]

-[lips smack] -[sighing]

[Danni] Don't do that shit again, okay?

-Okay. -[Danni] All right.

[gentle music continues]

Okay, baby.

I'll check on you in the morning.

Sorry for making you worry, mama.

That's what mommies do.

[gentle music continues]

-[Lisa] Okay. -Bye.

[Lisa] Bye.

[gentle music continues]

[barely above whisper] You scared the shit out of me!

-I thought something happened. -I'm sorry.

[gentle music continues]

I just, um... I needed to figure this out on my own.

[gentle music continues]

But you're not on your own.

-[breathes heavily] -[Aaron] I'm glad you're safe.

-[Aaron sighs] -Thank you.

[upbeat music]

[footsteps scrape]

Baby... How'd it go last night?

I'm exhausted! This Karen stuff's got me.

[sighs heavily]

I'm glad she's home.

I just could have done without all the... drama of it.

Yeah... Well...

If you're exhausted, you know what'll fix it, right?

Yes.

Oh... Coffee.. Okay.

Well, I was going to say me moving in, but...

[slurping]

Which you never gave me your thoughts about that.

-[Danni] Mm-hmm. -In fact,

you didn't really say anything.

Your big news... Mm-hmm... Big news.

Look...

Babe, I just want you to picture it, right?

Us two, livin' together, full time, all right?

We'll be like...

-two peas in a pod. -Two loons in a psych ward.

[chuckles] You're funny! Huh?

No, we'd be like two people building a future

with each other, two people who love each other.

Babe, it's efficient, all right?

We'll be like a team. What's mine is yours.

And... you know, vice versa.

Oh, my gosh, am I still dreaming? [groans]

[playful] Maybe dreaming about me?

[gentle music]

I don't have time for this, Tony.

All right, well, look, babe,

I'm here all the time anyway, all right?

So at least say you'll think about it.

[upbeat music]

Mm... Yeah, yeah, I'll think about it.

Okay. [chuckles] Great! [lips smack]

So, um, about my birthday next weekend?

[tsking] Yes. Yeah. Yeah. Birthday boy.

Yeah... So I was thinking about doing a complete reset,

and you're gonna be a major part of that.

I need it to be us, babe.

Okay... Well, Tony, I love you.

I just... this conversation right now,

I just, [groans] I don't have it in me.

-[Danni hisses apologetically] -No, I-I get it.

It's, uh, it's early, okay?

-[Danni] Mm-hmm. -How about, uh,

just give it some time and at least say you think about it?

[clicks tongue]

-You betcha. -All right, babe.

-[upbeat music continues] -[chuckling]

-All right. -[upbeat music continues]

Have a good day at work.

[upbeat music continues]

All right... Who are we betting on today?

[upbeat music continues]

So we not gonna talk about this?

Talk about what, Zac?

I'm mad, you mad. What's left to say?

Oh, how about the fact that I asked you to call me

if Karen popped up,

then you just show up at her house with her?

What was I supposed to do, ignore her?

No, you were supposed to call me like we discussed.

Instead, you out here movin' like a -- mediator.

[tense music]

Zac, I handled it, okay?

-[Zac tsking] -Karen called, I showed up,

we talked about it. It's done. Why are you so pressed?

-Pressed? -[Fatima] Yes.

You're the main one always telling me to communicate.

Now you're out here movin' like I ain't shit.

[chuckles] Communicate?

You wanna talk about communication?

Like you communicated when you left in the middle of the night.

Or how about when you hired a whole midwife behind my back?

I didn't... That was me trying to help, Fatima!

Stop playin'.

You know them hospitals ain't shit.

No...

Zac, that was you trying

to decide what was best for me without even asking me first.

Right... It's okay when you do it,

but when I do it, it's a problem. [scoffs]

You women and these double standards, boy.

Yeah, well, at least we got standards.

But it's cool.

[tense music continues]

Oh, the shade.

Just like it was cool, right,

for your little boyfriend

to walk up in here in my house with gifts for you, right?

That was cool, too, right?

-[tense music continues] -[Zac scoffs]

Zac, we already discussed this. Chaz is not an issue.

And don't act like you all innocent,

coming in here all drunk

in the middle of the day, telling me not to leave,

only for you to leave in the middle of the night?

-[tense music continues] -[Fatima scoffs]

-Yeah. -You know what?

I'm not doing this. I'm not doing this.

Of course. Of course you're not. Go ahead, go ahead.

That's what you're gonna do, leave, right?

-Whatever. Zac. -Whatever, Zac.

Always "Whatever. Zac."

I get your back. You walk away. I get it.

I'm getting used to this, Fatima.

-[tense music continues] -[sighing heavily]

[upbeat hip hop music]

[phone rings]

-[Sabrina] Good morning! -No... No.

What could possibly be going on now?

Nothing... I was just calling to check on you.

-Well, I'm tired as hell. -Mm...

Yeah, same. Well, I'm glad Karen's home.

Last night was a lot.

Girl...

she's lucky we love her because, uh...

I got enough stress going on.

And the girl who's braiding my hair

said my hair's falling out.

I don't have the energy for this.

Mm... Yeah. But I'm not gonna lie...

Seeing Karen with Fatima?

And then did you see Zac's face?

Yeah, I'm not gonna lie like that wasn't weird, but hey,

I'm all for it; squash the drama.

Who's got time?

Yeah. You're right. It was nice to see.

You know what?

Andi think we done forgot about Vaughn and Gary, but I haven't.

Honestly, I was shocked to see Gary.

Oh, I wasn't shocked.

That's the queen of spinning the block with Gary.

You know, he must really have some explosive --.

He blows your mind and then blows up your life.

Do you think she's actually seeing that Vaughn guy?

I don't know,

but I know that at first it was Gary

and then the Menendez twins with Penelope and Jordan,

and then Jazz tryin' to kill her off like she's

on an episode of Prison Break.

Yep. Andi does love love.

She better fall in love with the truth

because I'm tired of fake friends lyin'

in my god-daggone face.

Oh, speakin' of fake,

you still pretendin' like you for the streets?

If you're asking if I'm enjoying myself,

yes, I am.

Mm... Okay.

As long as you're done foolin' with Roc ass.

Said he was a doctor?!

It's the funniest shit I heard all week.

-[Danni] Him, a doctor? -[Sabrina] Mm.

Yeah. I mean, we're done. So...

Good... You know, enjoy your little hoe phase.

'Cause I'm over here domesticated

and cleaning up after grown men.

Hmm... Well, how's it been since Tony quit?

[sighing deeply]

Enjoying my couch and SportsCenter.

Mm...

Well, did you give him an answer about moving in?

-No! -[upbeat music continues]

I'm not sure I'm ready to be a stay-at-home wifey.

Well, shit. He's the stay-at-home wifey.

Oh, come on, Danni,

I think it's kind of sweet that he wants

to spend all his time with you.

Yeah, sweet as swamp water.

I like my space.

Oh... Well, I did see you checking out Officer Green.

[tsking]

I mean, he's cute or whatever.

I'm just trying to be a good girlfriend.

Well, I kinda like domesticated Danni.

[groans] Don't get used to it.

[gasping]

Oh, by the way, I need to stop by the bank.

I need, uh... to get some money for the bank of my mattress.

What? Wait, did you get your money?

You know I could have wired it for you.

Tsk. Oh, no, no, no, no, no, no.

I'm a rich woman now. I need cash.

-[Sabrina] Excuse me? -Yeah.

You know, I want to put it in the bank of my mattress.

Safest place besides, you know, my bra.

[gentle music]

Okay, so what are you gonna do with your cash?

I really don't know. I might just look at it.

I could invest it. I just want my money.

[gentle music continues]

Well, okay. I'm proud of you. And I'm happy for you.

I gotta go to work. I'll call you later?

All right. See ya later, city girl.

-Bye. -[gentle music continues]

[smooth R&B music]

Ooh-hoo-hoo!

Miss Sabrina, it's giving very much walk of shame.

I wish. We were with Karen all night.

-She went missing. -Missing?

Now what in the Lake Lanier kinda bullshit is that?

It's okay. She's fine now.

-[Maurice] Fine? -Mm-hmm.

Girl, I was hoping that you was coming in here

to tell me that you got your back snapped like a glow stick!

-Maurice! -What?!

You in the streets.

It comes with street signs and name callin'.

But enough about you. [coughs, groans]

Yes, Maurice. Sorry. How was your evening?

Ooh, girl, I thought you would never ask.

I am officially a member of integration...

or gentrification, or Black-and-White nation.

-What? -Oh, yes, girl.

Dylan, aka Channing Tatum, got me in a chokehold!

Oh, hold on!

Maurice, I thought you said you were done dating?

Girl, me too!

Then he came over there with the vision boards and talkin'

about the future.

And all of a sudden, I started to feel like Barefoot Contessa.

I wanted to make fresh bread.

-Bread, bitch! -Bread?

Oh, this sounds serious.

Then he grabbed my face and leaned in for a kiss!

Then all I could see was my future and hear wedding bells.

Now I'm pregnant.

[smooth music continues]

Wait a second.

Did we just switch bodies or something?

Because it's very much giving...

"I'm Sabrina, and I overthink my love life."

[breathes dramatically]

Is it true? Am I really you?

Am I boring and got a big head?!

And funny clothes? Do I overthink everything?

-Uh, excuse you? -[Maurice] Please be...

No, you're not boring. You're just scared.

And trust me, you don't want to be me right now

and the dating scene is horrible.

These men? [sighs heavily]

I don't know what's going on.

And I don't even know why you put me on these dating apps!

Well, I must agree there.

-The dating apps are ghetto. -[Sabrina] Mm-hm.

Somebody lyin' about they job or being a serial killer.

-Exactly! -[smooth music continues]

Well, we can talk about Roc.

You still letting him smash?

Yeah...

But I've run into a bit of a problem.

What do you mean, a problem?

Roc is Danni's cousin.

Hell, no, girl!

I know... And I just promised her I would stay away from him.

But I... I don't know.

And here you are, daydreaming 'bout his pee pistol.

I don't know. I don't know what to do.

The -- is too good, ain't it?

[smooth music continues]

-[whispers] Yeah! -And see...

this is when you become me!

Falling over community --!

So, what do you think I should do?

[smooth music continues]

Do you think I should...

continue seeing Roc for the D or listen to Danni?

[smooth music continues]

-[knocking] -Good morning!

Good morning.

So I got the names of the women in Karen's group,

and I'll be emailing those to you shortly.

Oh, that's great. I...

I think we're going to need more than those few women

to convince Benson to let us take on the case, though.

[sighs] It shouldn't even take all that.

Let me, um, take those off your hands.

-Thank you, I appreciate it. -Mm-hm.

[papers rustle]

Is everything okay?

Um... Yeah, yeah. Why?

You just seem a little off.

Um, just tryin' to refocus my energy on work.

-Mm-hm... Okay. -Okay... Thanks.

Uh, one more thing.

Karen?

Yeah, um, just glad she's safe.

Yeah... But she called you

out of the blue and asked you to pick her up.

And you did?

Yeah, well, at first I thought it was a trap, but...

[gentle music]

...I guess she was comfortable calling me.

-Mm... -[gentle music continues]

That's so unexpected.

[gentle music continues]

Um... Yeah, yeah.

But, um, we're all glad that she's safe, right?

-Of course. -[Fatima] Yeah.

-Of course. -Okay, well,

if there's nothing else.

I'm gonna go ahead and get to these.

I'm gonna go ahead and get to these.

Don't forget to text me your lunch order.

Will do.

Good morning. Make any coffee?

I could use a hot drink.

[tense music]

Aaron?

You shoulda told me.

Told you what?

Come on, Karen.

You left without saying anything.

Okay... This again?

Honey, we talked about this, okay?

We did and you went to sleep fine.

No, no, I was not fine, okay? I stayed up all night.

I just keep thinking about how you shut me out.

I... I was not shuttin' you out. I wasn't trying to hurt you.

But you did. You did, okay?

You treat me like I don't matter.

I was just tryin' to carry my own weight.

I didn't know what to do because I'm alone in this.

-I am alone in this. -Alone?

Yeah.

I have been here every day! Right here.

All right? I've taken care of Faith.

I've gotten up with Faith, I feed her, I have been here.

I've held us down while you treat me like I'm invisible.

Okay, okay, you know what?

Tsk. I didn't ask for this!

[gentle music]

I didn't ask for this.

I didn't ask to feel this way and I do not know how to fix it.

Karen, I'm not even asking you to fix it.

Then what?

I'm just asking you to let me in.

[gentle music continues]

Because this? It isn't working.

Now, I love you.

I love our daughter.

And I know you are going through some changes right now,

but I am not gonna keep chasing you around just

to be a member of my own family.

[gentle music continues]

[breathes deeply] I'm sorry.

I'm sorry. I shouldn't have left like that.

No. You shouldn't have.

All right? You scared me.

I thought I lost the two most important women in my life.

I'm sorry. I'm sorry. I know.

[gentle music continues]

What do you want, Karen?

I don't know. I just...

Come on. Just tell me and I'll do it.

[Karen sighs]

I don't...

I need a change.

[gentle music continues]

I need a change.

What does that mean, a change?

[gentle music continues]

It means...

[gentle music continues]

...I'm ready to leave Atlanta.

[gentle music continues]

Don't I know you from somewhere?

No, I don't think we know each other, big dog.

[Andi] Next on Sistas.

Picking up and leaving...

just because you've had a rough year... is crazy.

[tense music]

What?

Man, look, I think I knew some Taylors.

If you knew my family, then trust me,

you'd remember them, as crazy as they are.

Looks like I'm just gonna have to come right out and say it.

Look, Miss Brown, don't do this... please?

-We-- -[Danni] I really need my job.
