"Braxton Family Values"...

See-- see how the spirit's
already changing?

Spirit's already changing
talking about the medium.

Trina, you're not
comfortable, go.

See y'all later.
Enjoy--

I'm not gonna
have you yell at me.
That's not cool.

She wasn't
yelling at you.

It ain't gotta be like that
all the damn time.

We have been trying
to retain your uterus

for a very long time.

I have to have
this hysterectomy.

It's frightful.

He just got off the phone
with the production company
at "The Real"

and they said that
I was basically fired.

I felt disrespected,
I felt let down,

I felt disregarded.

I'm so humiliated, Toni.

- Hey, Mom.
- Hey!

What's up with you?

Trying to get ready
for this procedure

I'm about to go through,
and I'm worried.

My hysterectomy
is tomorrow,

and I'm really nervous.

I am afraid that, um,

my sexuality will be gone.

You know, when you have
a husband, you know,
it's, like,

ooh, will I be able
to satisfy him

the way I used to?

Or some men,
they'll go astray

and try to find
something else.

But he know
after this hysterectomy,

I'll probably go
a little cuckoo, cuckoo.

I'll hurt him.

Do y'all think I'm gonna be--
do you think I'm gonna change?

- No.
- You don't think
my personality will change?

More crazy.

I am not crazy.

Okay.

It's cool.
You're gonna change...

- Mm-hmm.
- ...but for the better.

I think your stress
is gonna be less,
I really do,

after all these
doctor's appointments.

'Cause this had you,
like, all over the place.

- But you know
what I'm afraid of?
- What?

Like, one day
I'll start cooking,

all of a sudden
I'll bust out crying.

Y'all will ask me,
"Traci or Mom, why you crying?"

"I wanted peas instead."

That's what
I'm worried about.

Because, you know,
women go crazy.

Women, you know,
they--

they get all sensitive.

I'm gonna say,
"Go to your room,

and I'll be
right up there."

Four to six weeks.

- We gonna be celibate
four to six weeks.
- Mm-hmm.

You gotta be creative.

That's what the doctor said.

Yeah, like working on
my jaw skills.

-
- Chewing gum.

Six weeks
no sex whatsoever?

What am I going to do?

Oh, my God.

My jaw-- I won't be able
to talk for a while, everyone.

There you go,
work it out.

Get it, girl.
That's what I'm talking about.

The brown cow

have sort--
speckled spots.

I wanted
to say thank you, dear,
but I can't say that.

- Yes, son?
- Stop.

You're not the pappy.

You guys realize
when I'm down,

I need y'all help
so much.

Like, I'll need
my feet to be rubbed.

That's Kevin's job.

Legs.

I got the legs.

Cook.

Kevin,
can you please cook
for your mother?

- I'll cook.
- Thank you.

Oh, my husband
and son's gonna support me
no matter what, honey,

'cause I'm gonna
have me a bell,

and I'ma sure enough
ring it

so they can come to my aid
each and every time.

Well, then, son,
you know what?

I'm gonna leave you.

Come on, honey.

Stop.

See what I'm saying?
Take notes.

You're learning something
right now, son.

Mm.

Kevin, Jr.:
Nasty.

-Where's Vince?
-I don't know.

He's just working
on my nerves right now.

Because I can't be late
to my follow-up appointment.

You understand what I'm saying?
I cannot miss this appointment.

I'm trying to go
out of town three days.

- So you have to--
I get it, I get it.
- In three days.

So I have to be
cleared to go to work,

and it's annoying
when other people
make you damn late.

So I just had my last surgery
for my thoracic outlet syndrome.

Last fall I got sick
because I had blood clots.

You know, the doctors
found out that I had
to have a rib removed

that was compressing
one of my veins.

I gotta go back
to the hospital.

They want to take my other rib
from my right side.

They don't want to wait
until I get a blood clot,

because it's already
compressing--

- And one will occur,
he's saying.
- Could.

- Oh, could.
- Yeah.

So I'm going to the doctor,

and I'm just, like,
stressed to capacity right now.

Like, what the hell
he's fittin' to say to me?

So Towanda's volunteered
to take me to the doctor's.

I've had, you know,
some bad luck when it comes
to health for me,

and so I'm just trying
to hear all good news

and all gossip right now.

So how's Trina doing?

Trina's good.

What's up with her
and romance?

- I don't know.
- What you mean?

I don't know.

Uh, Trina has been dating
Jacent for over a year.

- This is Jace.
- Nice to meet you all.

I was fittin'
to call you Akon.

I didn't know-- I thought
that's who-- wow!

My personal opinion
about Jacent is leah.

He was just supposed to be
a rebound situation for her.

You're supposed to
just have fun and that's it.

He's not my favorite person
in the world.

- I'm not-- what?
- Towanda, what's going on?
I ain't gonna tell nobody.

You don't ask her how--
how is her relationship
going with ol' boy?

No, not unless
she just volunteers
to tell me.

But I'm sure she has.
How's it going?

I guess it's going
pretty good.

Towanda, now, you holding
something back, now.

- I'm not.
- Yeah, you are.

Oh, my God,
it's so frustrating.

Will you please
(bleep) say it?

Just tell me
what happened, Towanda.

Just tell me.

I just know she said
everything was cool.

Okay, why it took you
20 minutes to tell me that?

- That means that
everything ain't cool.
-

When I am around him,

he's, like,
always the same person,
you know what I mean?

And he's-- you know, for me,
he's like a nice guy.

He's respectful.

I mean, really,
I'm just happy the gossip

ain't about me this time.

So, you know, I'm all ears
for anybody else.

Towanda, you like him?

Do I like him? No.

You don't like him?

Listen, she was just
supposed to hang out
with him,

and, you know, get her
over her ex-husband,

not all that.

Okay, but why you
don't like him for?

'Cause I think
he's a liar.

- A who?
- Liar.

Well, don't they all lie?

No, it's a different
type of liar.

So what you mean?

I just think that
he's a manipulator, to me,

and, in my opinion...

Like, but what
you talking about?

He's like
"The Talented
Mr. Ripley."

- I've never seen that movie.
- You need to watch it.

- Toni's calling.
- Hi, Toni Braxton,
living legend.

Toni, I wanna talk
to you because Towanda
just told me some T

and I don't wanna
seem like I'm gossiping.

You ain't heard it
from me.

What happened?
You didn't tell me
not to tell nobody.

See, that's why
I can't talk to Tamar.

I can't have
conversations
with Tamar.

You didn't tell me
not to tell nobody.

- Oh, God.
- Go ahead, Towanda,
tell her 'cause you--

- Tamar, you opened
your mouth first.
- Tell her the story.

- I don't know it.
- We were talking
about Trina's beau.

Tamar asked me
if I liked him,
and I said no.

But why?

Oh, my God.

I told you that.
Ooh.

- All right, bye, Toni.
-That's it?

- That was rude.
- What?

That you hung up
like that.

I didn't know she was--
what she wanted to say?

Toni was like, I mean,
I ain't here for it, neither.

You know, he seemed
a little sneaky.

You know,
he's "Secret Squirrel."

You know, I can't even lie
and say that he's not

'cause he ain't really been
around like that.

I think you need
to have a conversation.

I'm not having
a conversation
with that loser.

Okay,
but what about her?

Okay, I could have
a conversation with Trina

'cause that's my sister.

- How's she doing?
- She's good.

- Why? What else?
- Nothing.

Tamar, stop asking me
questions.

Traci is good.

What happened?

Towanda, you're like
that neighbor who live
in an apartment building

who know
everybody's business.

And nobody know yours.

- Thank you.
- Thank you.

Here, Towanda,
put this on the--
have a seat, Towanda.

You're not the patient,
I'm the patient.

Listen,
I'm patient.

- Knock, knock.
-Hi!

- Hello.
-Hi, Dr. T.

- How are you?
- Hugs.

How are you?
How are you feeling?

I feel like
I'm doing great.

I don't feel like
I'm doing the same way

- that I was doing
the last time.
- Uh-huh.

Um, I'm only taking
my pain meds twice a day.

I don't know
if that's good,
but I am.

- And that's it. Yeah.
- Cool. Awesome.

So I'm at Dr. T's office
and I'm so nervous

because I've been
through a lot.

Like, it was just
really hard, you know,

to go from being
100% healthy

to being, like,
90% unhealthy.

My life is in the balance.

I gotta have all these
different surgeries.

You know,
I can't talk, really,

I can't sing,
I can't work out.

And I just feel like,
at this point,

I deserve some good news.

Now that you've healed
from the operation,

I do want to take a look
at the incision.

You wanna see it?
Oh, my God, it looks so--
okay, you have--

- promise me,
don't talk about me.
- Okay.

- I can't shave 'cause
I can't feel my nerves.
- Okay.

It's a forest under there.

You need to get
a laser, girl.

- Ooh!
- Ooh, ooh!

All right.

It's heal-- it's
actually healing
very well.

- Really?
- All right? Yeah.

Doesn't it look like
I got beat up right here?

- Like, it's so brutal.
- No, that's a little scab.

That'll come off.
This will all heal.

Your incision here
will become much lighter

over the course
of the next few weeks.

But it's gonna look
exactly like the other side.

-Yeah, the other side
looks amazing.
- Good.

So this is it from
the thoracic outlet syndrome?

Coming up on
"Braxton Family Values"...

I know it took
a little bit longer.

She had some scarring
towards the back.

Is she okay?

Um...

So what are you doing?

'Cause you be
coming to California,
you Secret Squirrel.

She comes to L.A.,
nobody knows.

What you got
going on, dawg?

Just visiting people and...

The first thing
comes to mind--
is it a man?

What you doing?

So this is it from
the thoracic outlet syndrome?

That's correct.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.

I'm-- I'm, like, healed.

You are.

Yay. Oh, my God,
that's such good news.

- Thank you, Dr. T.
-Yay!

- Absolutely.
- Oh, my goodness.
I think I might cry.

- You are?
- Yeah, because it's--

I mean, 'cause I'm tired
of people thinking
that I'm sick.

Well, I'm still sick
and not well enough to do shows
and, like, I miss singing.

- I can sing now, right?
- Absolutely. Yeah,
you can do everything.

- Yay!
- I want everything.

You don't have any more
first ribs to remove.

I know.

So you've graduated
from First Rib University.

So I won't have to have
any more taken out, right?

- No.
- Yay!

- That hurt.
- Oh, sorry.

Dr. T tells me that, you know,
I have a clear bill of health.

And, you know,
I'm free to fly,

and, you know,
I'm healthy again.

And I'm like, look at God.
Won't he do it?

- I feel great.
Thank you so much.
- Thank you.

- Perfect.
You're absolutely welcome.
- Yay!

So that means I don't have
any more appointments with you?

You don't need to see me
unless there's something new
that happens.

- Beautiful.
- We're gonna go
have a cocktail...

- Have a good time tonight.
- ...and Tamar's paying.

- And, uh...
- Lies!

You didn't invite me.

You can have
a cocktail, too.

Thank you, Dr. T.
You're the best
in the business.

- See you. Take care.
- Thank you so much.

Oh, my God,
what a great appointment.

Wasn't it awesome?

God, I'm not sick anymore.

Tamar called you?

Yes, Tamar called me
early this morning.

My surgery is today,
and I'm really nervous.

I just want this procedure
to be over with very fast.

Hello?

Hi, Traci, it's Dr. King.
How are you feeling?

I'm fine, Dr. King.

Dr. King:
So I'll see you all
at the hospital

and we'll be
moving forward.

Okay.

- Dr. King: All right, guys.
I'll meet you there.
- Okay.

- Thank you so much.
- Dr. King: Okay, bye-bye.

Bye-bye.

- She's the bomb.
- She is.

She explains
everything to you.

-Break down.
- And had the "dynagram"
and everything.

- "Dynagram."
- Right.

I tell you what,
when she brought that one
picture out the last time,

I looked at her,
I say, "What's that?"

She said, "That's what
was in your wife."

I said, "Dang.

- That's what
I was feeling?"
- Really?

Real--

Well, the old folks
is back here.

You remember that.

Well, I don't know
about the old folks, girl.

You have
to speak for yourself.

Hey, look,
I saw Mommy's eyes
get like this...

- Mommy's like,
"Wait a minute. Hold on."
- "Whoa, whoa, wait a minute."

Hey, everybody.
Everything good?

-Hey, Mom.
- Hey, son.

Hey, guys.
Hey, Caleb.

Hey, Mom.

Is something--
is something wrong
with it?

A client had a very unsavory
online review for Bar Chix.

In this bad review,

the first thing
they even talked about
was the host.

The host is my son!

Bar Chix is something
I take a lot of pride in

and I put a lot of money
and a lot of effort in.

And it's way too early
for things to go wrong.

Son, before you mop,
see all the sweeping
that has to be done?

You have to
sweep before you mop,
otherwise you're gonna mop

all the debris around.
You see that over there?

I was-- I was just gonna
get all the scuff marks up.

That doesn't make sense.

You have to sweep first
and then you mop.

Put the mop over there.
I have to talk to you anyway.

Okay.

It's really difficult

as a mother
and as an employer

because you still
have to treat your child

as if they are just
any other "Joe Blow" employee.

Yeah, I just wanna
make sure I'm not stinky.

- It's not me, is it?
- Let me see.

- All out in front of everybody.
- No, I mean, you're not stinky.

It's your cologne.
It-- it's horrible.

- I like it.
- I don't like it.

We have to get you
something new.

Turn around.

Now I can smell
like old lady.

This is not old lady.

You trying to say
I smell like an old lady?

No, never.

- Yeah, you are.
That's all right.
- I love you.

I don't mean to be
nitpicky,

but I think
I'm more nitpicky
with Eric

because I'm his mom,
because I want him
to be perfect.

You know, and I didn't
like his cologne.

It smelled a little musky.

Not musty, but musky
like a musk scent.

Gotta scale it down
just a little bit.

- You're that first
point of contact.
- Of course.

- You know, 'cause
you're hosting.
- Right.

So your hair always
has to be done.

You always have to make sure
your breath is not offensive.

'Cause, you know,
when people talk to you,
they be like, "Okay. Ugh!

Ugh! That smell will
stay with me all night.
Blah, blah, blah."

- You understand
what I'm saying?
- Yes, ma'am.

- You set the standard, okay?
- Of course. Right.

Once Eric is at work,
he can get a little bit lax.

And it's like you don't care
because I am your mother.

But you should care more
because I'm your mother.

Okay?
When you come home,
you're my son.

- When you're here,
you're at work.
- Right.

Okay?
And as a manager
in training,

you have to make sure
that I don't have to
tell you anything.

You understand
what I'm saying?

You have to go in
and make sure the bathrooms
are clean.

And you have to make sure
everything is swept up

and everything
is wiped down,

especially for moments
when I'm not here.

I'm really trying to learn
how to just stay in boss mode

when I'm working
with my son.

But, I'm sorry,
the mother in me

always is gonna
supersede the boss.

So if there's something
that's undone

and you see a need,
fill a need, okay?

And I'm glad you're here,
but I need you to work smarter

- and not harder.
- Okay.

I think I might be
a little more critical of him

than everybody else.

If it came down to it,
it would really be hard for me,

but if my son
needed to be fired,

I would
for his own sake.

And don't make me
have to write you up, okay?

- Okay. All right.
- All right, baby.

You guys get any sleep
last night?

Actually, we didn't.

We really didn't.
Tossed and turned.

Just totally worried
about today.

I think they've
been there quite a--
quite a while, don't you?

The assistant called me
and said that there's some
extra stuff they had to do.

I'm waiting
to hear the results
of Traci's surgery.

And, yes, I am waiting
for the best, best news.

Because you know what?
Anything can go wrong.

So I'm praying
and hoping for the best.

Hi, everybody.

I know it took
a little bit longer,

but she had some scarring
towards the back of her--

where the uterus was.

And I have
some pictures of it.

I kind of brought you guys
pictures so you can see.

Here is where we see
a little bit of the scarring.

Is she okay?

Um...

Coming up on
"Braxton Family Values"...

He relies on me
to do everything for him.

'Cause you're too soft.

What in the world
was I doing?

The thought petrifies me.

Yeah.

Hi, everybody.

I know it took
a little bit longer, but...

Is she okay?

Um, she had some scarring
where the uterus was.

The take-home is that
she did very well.

Oh, look at God.

Everything is good,
everything is gone.

The other thing is that
her recovery is gonna be
much, much better.

But she had major surgery,
so I kinda want you all

to kinda push that--
like, don't try

to do everything
right away.

So she won't be able
to work for a while, right?

- For a while.
- What about flying?

Nothing until
I can clear her.
Yeah.

- I understand.
- Yeah, no heavy lifting.

No laundry.

No housework.

- She's good, she's good.
- Dr. King: She's good.

- Kevin, Sr.: I got that.
- So you guys are gonna
help her out.

I know that's right.

You know
my question, right?

What's your question?

How long till I--

- Six weeks.
- Okay.

Add about two more weeks.

Want me to write
a prescription?

You can endure.
Joy comes in
the morning.

Joy comes
in the morning?

- She's doing great, guys.
- Kevin, Sr.: Thank you,
Dr. King.

All right.
Bye-bye.

- I'm glad everything
went great.
- Me, too.

- I'm so thankful...
- Look at God.

...that you guys were here.

And I tell you,
this is great.

Oh, let me see Traci.

Hey, what's up, boo?

What's up with you?

How you feeling?

I'm just having pain

in, like, where
my uterus used to be.

But she said
it's muscle spasms

because they had
to move everything.

Yeah, if you
would have saw it...

Really?
It was a mess?

You had a lot going on, Trace.

It was like
somebody chewed it up
like bubble gum?

You had a lot going on.
Let me tell you what your
father said, though.

Daddy was here
and I missed it?

-
- Who that?

- Hey, son.
- Hello.

- Hey, baby.
- How are you?

Oh.

Hello!

Ha ha ha!

Lookie here, lookie here.
What's up with you?

- Hey.
- Hey, Scratchy.

- Hey, Umba.
- Traci, Traci, Traci!

Hey.

- Hi.
- Hey.

- I hopped on a plane and came.
- Thank you so much.

-How did it go?
-It went well.

You in pain?
Hit the button, Traci.

You know, unfortunately,

I could not actually be there
during Traci's surgery

because I had other stuff
that I had to do,

but I just knew that
it was very important

for at least one of the sisters
to be there when she woke up.

- Hey, baby.
- Hey, Mommy.

It was so great to see Mommy
and Towanda after the surgery.

It's great to have
support of family.

Tamar on phone:
Yo, Traci!

Hey!

Traci, I call them
high glasses, girl.

What is wrong with you?

It's the truth.
See you tomorrow, Towanda.

You know, I know
my other sisters
couldn't make it,

but I know they was there
in spirit.

- You feeling better?
- I-I just pushed the thing.

- Then--
-About to go to bed?

There it is.
Night-night.

Go to sleep.
Go to sleep.

- Good night.
- See you.

-See you
later, Mommy.
- See y'all.

May heaven smile
upon y'all.
Good night.

-Okay.
- Good night.

It was so great
seeing my family,

but after I pushed
that morphine button...

- Hi.
- Hi. How are you?

- I'm good.
How are you?
- I'm Theresa.

- It's so nice to meet you.
- It's good to meet you, too,
Miss Gorgeousness.

I'm back to work
in Little Rock, Arkansas,
to cohost

the Designers Choice
Fashion Preview charity event.

Focusing on fashion,
it's what I love to do,

and I'm just really
uber-duber excited

that I will now get to devote
a lot more time

to this particular
passion of mine.

But this is the actual...

- runway.
- Runway. Mm-hmm.

I'm so excited because
I'm also going to be showing

some pieces from the Tamar
Collection shoe line

while supporting
this incredible kids' charity

at the same time.

Okay.
This is beautiful.

- You did this?
- Yes.

I have a whole
production team
that works hard.

- Girl, work it out.
Yes-uh.
- Thank you.

Well, I decided
I wanted to invite Towanda
to this amazing fashion show

to hang out together
and have some fun.

But I get to the venue
and I'm like, "Where
the hell is Towanda?"

And, of course,
she's nowhere to be found.

- So we're going back here?
- So you're gonna go here.

- I'm gonna get
your models.
- Okay.

And then I'll come get you,
and we'll select them
from here, okay?

Yes, because that is
the mysterious Towanda Braxton.

I can tell by her legs
and nine toes.

Hmm.

♪ There she is... ♪

- Hey.
- Yes-uh!

You got some shorts
up under that thing?

Towanda,
your skirt is two inches
below the thang.

- That ain't gonna work.
- Yes, it is.

Look how short that is.
That's an abomination.

Of what?
Lies.

There's a lot
of saved people here,
Towanda.

- There ain't--
who's saved?
- Me.

- When you become saved again?
- Like a couple of weeks ago.

- Turn around.
- Again?

Towanda,
stop poking it out.

Mommy stayed with Traci
in Maryland.

And Trina and Toni
have some other commitments,

so I flew out to Little Rock
to support Tamar today.

Sit down.

Yeah. Oh, no-- you can't sit
because you know somebody's
gonna see up in there.

- See all up in there.
- That's nasty, Towanda.

Give that dress back to Brooke.

You supposed to be
nasty every now and then.
That's how Logan got here.

No, it's not.
And Logan is a miracle baby.

Ha ha ha!

Yeah. So, um,
I just saw Traci.

- She's good.
- Uh-huh.

Daddy came, Mikey came.

- Daddy came
to see Traci?
- Yeah.

Hello, hello.
-Hi!

- We have your models
ready for you.
-Yay!

They're coming in here?

No, they're gonna walk
for you in the hallway.

Oh, yes, they are.

Listen, let me
tell you something.

I'm like Tamar Homegirl.

Like, I eat chittlins
and hog maws.

And so, like, be you!

Like, if you feel
the spirit of the twirl, twirl!

What? What?

-Eat it!
-Eat it!

- That's you!
-Oh, my God, so cute.

Come on, church girl, yes.

She's kind of funky
with it.

Does it smell?
Yes, it smells!

-Look at her eyes.
-Yes!

-Yes!
- Well done.

Strong J, ladies.
Strong J.

Good job, guys.

Coming up on
"Braxton Family Values"...

Towanda Braxton
is in the house somewhere.

I don't know where she is.

- I thought your show
was gonna be first.
- The whole show is me.

If you invite somebody
somewhere, you expect
for them to be there.

- Really?
- So when it turns green,
I can push this button?

Yeah.
It turned green!

Towanda, that's--
that's morphine.

Towanda, why did
you press that button?

Do you feel it?

Bet it made you feel good.

Yeah.

Hey, guys!

Hey, you.

- Hey.
- How you feeling, boo?

Towanda--

Towanda got me high,
Mommy.

What do you mean?

Towanda, put that down.

Thank you.
Thank you.
Thank you.

- God!
- I was only
trying to help.

Look what she just made
your-- look.

No, you don't play
with that stuff.

- How you feeling?
- She feels good.

- I don't feel
no pain right now.
-You see?

Don't you let
nobody come in
and push that for you.

- Towanda--
- I was helping.

Don't help.

Hi, everybody.
Oh, thank you, thank you.

How are you?
All right, we gonna
take a cute picture.

So I'm in Arkansas,

and we're at this
amazing fashion show.

Without further ado,

let's bring to the stage
your hosts

Donna Terrell
and Tamar Braxton.

The money
that is raised
this evening

will go to help
Cultivating the Arts
Summer Youth Camp.

And I do believe
that this summer camp
is free...

- Yes, it is.
- ...which it oughta be.

That's why I'm here
'cause it's very important.

Yes, absolutely.

So, anyway, Tamar--
just in case if you
didn't know--

she has her own fashion line
called "Tamar Collection."

Yes. I managed to bring
some of my favorite pieces

from my Tamar Collection here.

And, also, I don't
know where she is,

but Towanda Braxton
is in the house somewhere.

I'm looking to my right
to where Towanda's seats are

and there is no
Towanda Braxton.

I'm like,
"Anybody seen Towanda?

Where is Towanda?"

So then after me asking
the audience,

looking all around the world
for Towanda Braxton,

she's backstage chilling,
like, "What you mean?

What's going on?
I ain't did-- hey, girl."

No, no, no, no.
You were supposed to be,
you know, in the audience

and to tell me
how I'm doing

as, you know, a cohost
for this fashion show.

- Why you come for?
- I came to support you--

You did not support me.

You have been in
my dressing room
for three hours.

- It was not three hours.
- Okay, two hours.

- It was not two hours.
- Yes, it was.

Towanda, through
the whole show, you've been
in the dressing room.

- You haven't seen any of it.
- Because I just came
to see you.

You didn't see me.
There's not even
a monitor in there.

Well, I just--
I want to see your show.

I thought your show
was gonna be first.

The whole show is me.
I've been hosting
the whole damn show.

No, no, no.
I'm not talking
about the host.

I know you do
a good job at hosting.

I'm talking about
just the line.

That's all right.

- I'm worried, Tamar.
- Towanda, don't worry about it.

Thank you.
But thank you
for wearing Tamar.

You need to learn--
let's communicate, Tamar.

We're working on
our communication skills.

I'm just too tired,
I'm exhausted,

and I need
all of my energy
for this show

that I'm about to put on
that you haven't seen.

I came here to see
your fashion show.

And you didn't.

- 'Cause your stuff
didn't walk yet.
- Towanda Braxton.

- Did your stuff walk yet?
- Don't worry about it.

Did Tamar Braxton walk--
Collection walk down
that aisle?

- Don't worry
about it, Towanda.
- Tamar.

I mean, really,
honestly, if you invite
somebody somewhere,

you expect for them
to be there,

not like be backstage
chilling and kicking it

and not paying attention
to your show.

So you know that
after the fashion show,
the designer come out?

Yes, yes.

- You can walk out
with me then.
- Well, look--

Right.

Ladies and gentlemen, give it up
for the Tamar Collection!

Let's go, Tamar!

I'm just so excited
because Tamar Collection,

especially my shoes--
yes, it's about fashion,

but it's about
expressing who you are.

When you wear
Tamar Collection,

you are confident,
you are beat to death, honey,

and you catch
your outfit on sale.

Mm-kay?

Thanks for
being here, Umby.

It's a special day today,

for the city
of Little Rock, Arkansas,
do hereby proclaim the day

as Tamar Braxton Day.

Oh, my God, I was just, like,
so surprised by all of this.

This is crazy.

I just feel so fortunate
and blessed

and just appreciated
right now.

It's just-- it makes me
so emotional and happy.

I love you guys so much
and I just want to let you know

I don't do what I do
because of "acclimades"
and things like this.

I'm just a girl
just like everybody
else with a dream,

and I went after
my dreams.

And I just, you know,
wanna encourage everybody
to go after your dreams.

You can be whoever
you want to be.

You guys keep me going
every single day.

When I feel like
it's too much, when I feel
like I can't make it,

even when I was sick,
you guys got me out
of the hospital bed.

I just thank you guys
so, so much.

It means so much to me.

You guys mean
the world to me.

I cannot believe this.
This is crazy.

Ummy, ummy, ummy!

Oh, my God,
I'm so hungry, I could eat
this whole restaurant.

I'm so starving.

I'm glad you
came here with me.

- That was really,
really very nice.
- Of course, that's what I do.

It was much more special
to have one of my sissies
here with me.

It meant so much more.
It really honestly did.

So what are you doing
with your life, honey,
in California?

'Cause you be
coming to California,
you Secret Squirrel.

What you doing?

Well...

What you doing
out in-- in...

Just visiting.
Just visiting people and...

You working
on something.
I can tell.

- Who? Who working
on something?
- Yes.

- Who is?
- You is.

Ain't nobody laughing.

I'm just trying to figure out
why Towanda's out here
in L.A. all the time.

Like, what you got
going on, dawg?

I mean,
she comes to L.A.,

nobody knows,
nobody sees her.

We just hear it
through the grapevine.

I have absolutely no idea.

I mean, the first thing
comes to mind-- is it a man?

But you're married,
and I'm not putting that
out there.

I ain't putting you out here
like that in these streets.

But I don't know.

Oh, did you know
it's my day today?

Did you know that?
It's Tamar Braxton Day.

- Okay.
- Thank you, God.

- Do a toast.
- Thanks to my day--

- Do not toast yourself.
I have to toast you.
- Okay.

- You don't know that?
- Thanks to my day-- okay.

Go.

- Let's give a toast
to Tamar's day.
- Ha!

- It's her fashion line.
- Ha!

I'm not finished.
The cheers.

- Oh.
- Let me tell you--
how you gonna sip before I--

- 'Cause I'm done.
- Oh, wait a minute.

I gotta tell you
about-- listen.

My arm hurts.
Towanda, this is my bad arm.

Well, put it
in your good one.

They both the bad arm.
I got both ribs removed.

- Amen.
- And to two ribs.

To two ribs.
Thank you, Jesus.

Ah!

Ooh.

Praise him.
All blessings from him.

- Can I just get a Tito
with muddled kiwi?
- Yeah.

Come on, Jesus.

- So you liked
the fashion show?
- I did.

I mean, I'm all
for a good cause.

And I'm just so excited
that, you know,

what, 25, 30 kids
get to go away

for a whole month
in the summertime.

I just think that kids
need to stay busy.

I want more kids, Towanda.

I wish I had five.

- What?
- Yeah.

Don't be surprised
if I just pop, I'm like,
"I'm pregnant."

I want a bunch of kids.
Like, I just feel like

what in the world
was I doing?

Yeah.

Ain't that something?
Why you surprised?

I mean, it's okay.
You can change your mind.

It's just you were emphatic
about not having another baby.

The thought of Logan

being raised alone
in his life

petrifies me.

Yeah.

I want him to be able
to have someone.

I grew up in a big family,
and to be honest,

it helped me in my life
and as an adult.

And I just feel like
he needs siblings

to, you know, grow up with
and lean on.

I just feel really guilty
about not having more kids.

Traci was talking about
how she's gonna give her husband

a hall pass...

because she can't do
anything for weeks.

So?
Let me tell you something.
I don't play that.

Traci-- now, wait.
Hold up.

I got to call Traci
because, you know,

Vince will have to learn
the handjob very fast.

Would you ever give Vincent
a hall pass?

I can give him
a haul-ass whupping.

Coming up on
"Braxton Family Values"...

Not showing up to a wedding,
I'm sure that was heavy.

I said, "Daddy,
why was it my wedding
that you didn't go to?"

I said, "You went to Toni's
wedding, Tamar's wedding,
Traci's wedding.

Was I not famous enough?"

Welcome to
Uncle Julio's, ladies.

- Why, thank you!
- My name's Morgan.

I'll be taking care
of you guys.

Hi, Mor-- how long you been
working here, Morgan?

For a little longer
than a year.

Well, you welcome
to Uncle Julio's,

'cause this is
our Cheers, child.

Tamar just flew in
from Little Rock,

and she's gonna join me
and Toni and Mommy for lunch.

And Tamar and I, we've been
arguing so much lately.

But, honestly,
that's the least of my worries

right now in this moment.

- Trina?
- Yes, Monster?

- What's been going on
with you, Vacation?
- Everything, just everything.

Just working a lot
with the bar.

Can we get
some extra lemons
on the side?

Only because we like it
very citrusy.

Yes, thank you.

I'm just making
some transitions.

I'm going through
a transitional phase.

- Like what?
- Um...

I love my children,
but they have to get out.

-Eric's 21, right?
-He will be.

- He'll be 21 this month?
- Yes, ma'am.

He-- he relies on me
to do everything for him.

And I think as long
as he is at home,

he's gonna do that.

Eric is my oldest son,
and right now he lives with me,

he works with me,
and I do almost everything
for him.

And I'm thinking
it's finally time for him
to fly on his own

because if he doesn't,
he'll just be stuck.

And that's not what
a responsible parent would do.

- Hey.
-Hey, lady!

- Hey, you!
- Hello, Mommy. Mwah!

Hey, you look fantastic.

- You look great.
- Hey, Tay.

- Well, hello,
Toni Braxton. Mwah.
- Hey, Tay.

Have a seat by me.
I've been holding
this seat...

- Oh, I'm so hungry, too.
- ...for about 20 minutes
for you, girl.

- Thank you, Tay.
- Can I have some cheese
and some salt?

Um, getting back
to what I was saying.

Okay, what you all doing?
Give me some good talk.

They're talking about--
Trina talking about
putting Eric out.

- What happened?
- He still is very,
very, very dependent on me.

And then the thing is,
after he's finished spending
all of his money,

then he's ready
to come back and borrow
some more of my money.

"Dude, no."

You should consider
making him pay rent

for a couple of months
and then see.

'Cause I know you're not
gonna feel comfortable

with him on his own
and not paying those bills.

I want Eric to take charge
of his life,

but I also don't want to just
throw him out on the street

or make him pay rent
in his own mother's house.

I have to find
a happy medium

that I can live with
and that he can live with
as well.

You're too soft.

A little bit, but it might--
but it's true, though.

Mommy could raise a boy
independently herself
without a man.

So could
Tamar Estine, baby.

It's hard for
Toni Michelle Braxton

because I'm a little bit
like, "Oh, poor..."

You're doing it.
Too bad.

I'm doing it,
but I can't deny
it's tough.

And I have to call Mommy
every 20 minutes.

Like, "Ma, how should
I handle this?

What should I do?"

Why don't you call Dad
and ask him?

I mean, I could.

But Daddy's a jokester.

So Mommy's a little
bit uncomfortable
asking Dad stuff

'cause he'll
joke and stuff first.
You know how Daddy is.

- He's a great dad.
- I just find him nowadays

- to be a little unavailable.
- Maybe I should ask Dad.

Braxton is living
his own life.

Now, not showing up
to a wedding, I'm sure
that was heavy.

Absolutely, but I had
that conversation, though.

So what happened
in the conversation?

What conversation?
Tell me.

I said, "Daddy,
why was it my wedding
that you didn't go to?"

I said, "You went to Toni's
wedding, Tamar's wedding,
Traci's wedding.

Was I not famous enough?"

And he said that he apologizes
and we can never get
that moment back.

And I told him,
I said, "I'll never
get that moment back."

I said, "My father
did not come to my wedding
not because he passed away,

not because he wasn't able,
but because he wasn't willing."

- He said, "I was sorry"?
- Mm-hmm. He said, "I'm sorry."

- Sometimes that's all you need.
- Sometime you need to hear
"I'm sorry."

He said that he loves me
and he loves all
of his children.

Of course.

It just had to do
with his wife.

Finally, my dad
walked me down the aisle

for my vow renewal with Gabe
a couple of years ago.

Every girl wants her dad
to walk her down the aisle.

To finally have that moment
was a dream come true.

It was really nice for him
to at least try to make up

for that moment,
but it's still sad.

Mommy, your phone
blowing up.

Would that be
suitor Rick?

Going out with Rick
was different.

Um, I didn't have
any high expectation,

but I think
I just look at him

as somebody
perhaps could be
a good friend.

Trina, your mother
likes vanilla.

Yes-uh!

No, no, no, no.

She like it, honey!

She said,
"Ain't no chocolate
over here."
