How you deal
with headline news?

I've had my share of it.

Last year was hard.

The press
is not 100% accurate.

They're not even
really 7% accurate.

I'm opening up
a pop-up location.

A one night event
to research options

for a future
second Bar Chix location.

- Like what city? Here?
- Baltimore?

- Either Suwanee or Atlanta.
- Suwanee is "Yawnee."

How about I invite you guys
over to do a menu tasting

- for the pop-up?
- Okay.

So these are bourbon wings
made with my bourbon.

It--The chicken good,
but it taste like pecan pie.

It's supposed to be sweet,
though, Monster.

Can we get some salt
for the chicken?

You put a little bit
more salt on her,
she'll be good.

Why this chicken...

have so many feathers on it?

Tamar, think about
what you're saying.

She know what
she saying, Traci.

I know what the (bleep)
I'm saying.

I'm not gonna do
a transference of energy

- with this right here.
- I have great energy.

Actually, you have
the worst energy in the world.

- Yeah, he does too.
- Oh, I know.

So does yours.
So does yours.

- You're pathetic.
- What y--What you want? What?

♪ We are the Braxtons
and you'll see ♪

♪ That we are not like
an ordinary family ♪

♪ Toni, Traci, Towanda,
Trina, Tamar, and Miss E ♪

♪ Will teach you
a thing or two ♪

♪ On
"Braxton Family Values." ♪

You have
the worst energy in the world.

- Tamar: Your baby father.
-Yeah, he does too.

So does yours.
So does yours. Know that.

Now put that (bleep)
in your corncob pipe

and smoke that mother(bleep)
'cause ain't nobody

- got time for this.
- I ain't got neither, bitch.

Don't (bleep) play
with me, Trina.

What y--What you want? What?

- You're pathetic.
- Yes, you--Yes, you are.

Wait a minute,
we were talkin' about food.

We were talkin' about food
and the pop-up.

That's all I was
talking about was food.

I wasn't (bleep) nobody.
I know I wasn't--

Yes, you did.
And you know you did.

- Why can't we just talk--
- No, Towanda.

What part
did I (bleep) on her?

- Let's sit here
and talk about food.
- Nope. Nope.

- This pop-up.
- What part did I
(bleep) on her?

- Tell me. I'm lost.
- Wait a minute. Hold on now.

- I ain't fallin' for that.
- Where'd every--Hold on!

I don't feel like
hearing all this.

I got enough (bleep)
that's going on

in my life right now.

Trina's reacting to Tamar

'cause she's
way too sensitive.

I don't feel like dealing with
Tamar and Trina's bullcrap

about something
being too sweet

and something
not being too sweet.

Come on, Trina.
Sit down for a second.

Come on, sit down.
Traci, sit down.

Can't we just be happy?

- Trina, grow up.
- You grow up.

Raise your child.
By yourself.

Instead of putting it
on Mommy.

Instead of putting it
on Mommy.

Who the (bleep)
you think you're talking to?

Who the (bleep)
do you think you talking to?

Trina is really
hitting below the belt.

Trina just snapped

and said how she was feeling
in the heat of the moment.

- We all blood--
- I haven't said anything.

- I don't care.
- I'm sitting right here.

I'm not going here
with your wife tonight.

Nope. Not doing this.

Nope.

You know what?
You know what?

Toni's not here and I'm next
in mother(bleep) line.

I'm next in line
that I have to make sure

our sisterhood
and our familyhood
could be together.

Enough is enough.

Both y'all trying
to go blows with each other.

Tha-That's stupid.

Tamar, sometimes
just be quiet.

I need you
to just be quiet right now.

- But if I'm asked to--
- I want you to be quiet ri--

I want you and Trina to be
(bleep) quiet right now.

I want y'all to be
quiet right now.

- Traci, Traci, Traci--
- I'm--Okay, it's okay.

Traci, hold up.

It wasn't an attack
to anybody.

I wasn't trying
to attack nobody.

I di-I didn't say Tamar.

I don't think it's just
about a piece of chicken.

It can't be just about
a piece of chicken.

I didn't say you, Tamar.

That's all I'm saying.
Where did Traci go?

What happened?
Like, what did I say?

I'm-I-I don't...

You asked me for my opinion.

So when I give it to you,
I'm being shady?

And now I'm gonna be on snap

because you know,
I ain't (bleep)

'cause somebody watch my baby
while I work?

Like, come on.
Like, really?

You guys weren't
even in the car

when she was like...

"Bar Chix
is (bleep) expensive.

- "I can't afford--"
- She said that to you?

Yes, she did.

And the she mentioned it
again at the table.

As a sister
who go to your restaurant,

spend her money
at your restaurant,

I spent $300 the other day.

I'm a consumer.

I'm telling you
what we want.

- Don't do that.
Don't go there.
- She did say that.

Tamar's comments
about Bar Chix

was very, very, very,
very disparaging

and very negative

and not very constructive
at all.

I think
we should go because...

if the wrong thing
is said to me...

I pour all my money,
all my energy into my business.

And that's what I live on.

Where does that come from?

And why would I try
to (bleep) on my sister

on national TV?

Where is Traci?

I've reached
my breaking point with Tamar.

First of all,

can't put
people's business down.

I wasn't putting
her business down.

- Well, that's what it was.
- Why?

I just lost it.

- My side door is open.
- I want the door open

'cause you're in my face.

You're in my face.

Like-Like I'm gonna do
something to my sister.

Well, that's how
you're approaching me.

Really? Like I'mma do
something to my sister?

You know the (bleep)
you done in life.

What?
What have I done in life?

You don't know
what you done in life?

- No, what happened?
- You don't...

You don't know what
you've done in life, Tamar?

You really don't know
what you done in life?

No, what have I done
in life?

You're conniving.

You're a liar.

Yes, it is a "wow."

What did I lie about?

Oh, you don't know
what you lied about?

- No.
- Oh, so you ain't lie
about my auto-tunes?

I ain't want
to go there with you,

but you want to go there.

Tamar publicly humiliated me
on social media.

When my first album
came out two years ago,

- my album came out
on Toni's birthday.
- Mm-hmm.

And I was paying homage
to her.

I ain't never released
no daggone album before.

People were, you know,

telling Traci
that she sounded great

and that
she loved your song...

"You're gonna win a Grammy."

And Tamar made a statement,

"Is there a category for...

- "Duet with auto-tune?"
- Auto-tunes.

So she posted it
and then deleted it.

But she posted it.

And you know how people are,
they catch it.

Anything negative,
they're going to catch.

You wanna put stuff
on social media.

You can do things--
No, I didn't.

- I put something positive
about my sister.
- No, you didn't.

- What'd I do, Tamar?
- Toni won those Grammys
five years ago, Traci.

We don't need to talk
about what happened

four (bleep) years ago.

And if that's an issue
that Traci has,

guess what?

I care about it,
but that's not my issue.

What'd I do?
My album came out

on the same day
as Toni's birthday.

- I asked her--
- I'm not gonna
hold that against you.

And she said, "Okay."

It was a trigger
when she said

that she ain't never
do nothing to me.

So I was like,
"What do you mean?"

- You put your album out--
- Traci, I don't have
control about that.

- Yes, you do, Tamar.
- What do you think,
I'm a record label?

You think I own the--
You think I own Epic Records?

I know the business,
you know the business.

Really, Tamar? Really?

- Where's Vince at?
- I don't care about
what Vince has to say.

Who cares what the (bleep)
Vince ha--You my sister.

- Let me call Rodney Jerkins.
- You my sister.

- Let me call LA Reid.
- You my sister!

I don't have any control
over when the album comes out!

Let's call LA Reid
and you put that
on social media.

Let's call LA Reid,
you put that on social media.

Let's talk about that
on social media.

That's all I've got to say.

I'm not in competition
with my sister.

At the end of the day,
you my sister.

I'mma ride and die for you.

If I hurt you,
I'm sorry for it.

But what I can't have

is Traci demeaning
my character

as a woman, as a sister,

as a businessperson

because you know,
I pride myself

in being a good person

because you have a choice
to be an ass(bleep)

or to be a good person.

And I choose
to be a good person.

- What are you talking about?
- Why would I do that?

- What're you talking about?
- I don't have control over
when my album comes out.

I have no control over that.

Are you kidding me?

I'm not Beyoncé yet.

I can't tell people when
I'm putting out my (bleep).

Are you serious?

And I'm not-I'm not here
to (bleep) on my family.

What are you talking about?

I thought we came here
for a food testing.

I can't tell you
how I feel about the food

because you asked me?

What are you talking about?

Why-why would I wanna see
my sisters fail?

Like, why do you guys think
this (bleep) abou--

"I'm a liar and I'm conniving

"and I'm all..."

Wait, wait. What?

- Wh--
- I mean, are these the people

who tellin' the (bleep) press
this (bleep)?

'Cause I--People around me
don't feel that way.

I-I can't.
I'm sorry, Towanda.

I'm not trying to... I'm just
in my feelings right now.

It's really hurtful,
the things--

You wasn't out here.
The things that was said to me

was very hurtful,
I'm sorry.

I know there are a lot
of emotions going crazy.

I can't. I have to go.

And I'm going home,
getting my...

My child
that I apparently don't watch.

'Cause how long
you been feeling that way?

And I'm gonna get
my husband

and I wanna be left alone.

Well, I-I just think
there needs to be
a conversation.

Tamar is extremely emotional.

I feel terrible
that she is hurt.

Having someone tell you
to raise your child

is very upsetting.

- We need a family meeting.
-I'm aight.

Hey...

You hear me?

I love you.
I love all my sisters.

You absolutely right.

What Traci right about?
I wanna know.

No, because...

I allowed myself
to get so angry

that I brought up the baby

- and I shouldn't have.
-You can't.

And Traci was abs--
She's absolutely
right with that.

And I can't negate that.
I--There's nothing I can say

except I'm sorry
and I was wrong.

You gotta apologize
because he's innocent.

- You right. Absolutely right.
- You can't.

Well, everybody's sensitive
because a lot of stuff

- has been unresolved.
- Yes.

Here I was,
trying to get Traci and Tamar

to settle their differences

about the social media
incident.

And now out of nowhere,

Trina and Tamar
are having issues.

When things are unresolved,
you can't move forward.

You can't move forward
for forgiveness

for yourself
or anyone else.

If we all didn't bury
our feelings inside,

I don't think any of this
would ever happen.

We are sisters.

And we may not agree
with a lot of different things,

but we got to bring it
back together.

Usually, we can count on Toni
to bring us all together.

But since she's on tour

I feel I need to come up
with a way to fix

this divide between everyone
before it gets worse.

Well, let's just
love on each other

so I can go home.

I love y'all.
See y'all tomorrow.

- Whatever.
- Bye. See ya.

I'll walk you guys out.

You hold people
to the cross

when you have
opened the door--

You and your husband
opened that door

because it's all over
the tabloids.

I don't know what the (bleep)
she talkin' about.

First of all, I was saying,
"Stop. Enough is enough."

Come on. Let's not--
We actin'--

We gonna act like that's cool?

First thing I think
I will have is a cup of coffee.

-Yes, ma'am.
- Thank you so much.

- So two.
- Two coffees.

Okay, all right.

Toni's kids are incredible.

When she was on tour,
I watched the boys.

But now she's back.

I'm enjoying myself
in Atlanta.

- Oh, look.
Everything look delicious.
- Oh, these look great.

I'm exhausted
after the big blow up

at my house
with Tamar last night.

But I wanna get
my mind off of that

and back
to something positive.

I wanna have a talk
with my mom

and share the pop-up idea
for Bar Chix.

Look, I'm not about
to tell Mommy

about everything that happened
because frankly,

we are grown women

and we should be able
to handle this on our own

without involving Mommy in it
and stressing her out.

It's a cute little spot.

It is a nice little spot.

I just find myself
always looking at spots

- whenever we go places.
- Yeah. It's great.

You know, speaking of which,
you know, I'm trying to do

a pop-up location
for Bar Chix.

- Oh, really?
- Yes, ma'am.

In looking
for another location
what I'm doing is, um,

just checking out
different areas,

checking out different ideas
and trying to see

who my customer would be
over here or over here.

I wanna just try out
some new locations and...

And see how well it's received

- in different areas.
- Okay.

I really want to talk to her

about this pop-up shop idea

and get her ideas
and kinda bounce off of her

the things that she thinks
I should and shouldn't do.

What areas
are you checking out?

Um, I'm looking in Suwanee

and I'm looking in Atlanta.

Mmm!

Atlanta.

- You think Atlanta too, huh?
- I think Atlanta.

Towanda saying
the same thing.

- Who?
- Towanda.

Oh, my God. Yes.

Atlanta is booming.

It's not that
I'm against Atlanta,

I just know the expense
of Atlanta.

And if I want to go all out,

I really have
to crunch my numbers

and see what the best thing is
for Bar Chix.

I went
to a financial advisor.

- And... He was saying--
- Great.

That I should wait
two or three years--

Oh, no.

- Oh, no.
- Right? Before I open up

another location.

And it was disappointing.

But, um...

I see what he--
I see where he's coming from

- since it's only been year one.
- Right.

The financial planner said
I need to stop "spending."

I don't think I--
I don't think
I spend like that, though.

I'm a pretty--I'm a pretty
conservative spender.

What does he mean?

You know, he was just
telling me to be careful

because sometimes
these costs can add up.

And sometimes we have
some unforeseen circumstances

that end up costing
even more money.

- Things pop up.
- Right.

You know?

And you're not looking for that.

- What you call "life."
- Right.

You know, things happen,
as they say.

But I think you need
to hit it while it's hot.

- Right.
- I think three years
is too long.

You know? 'Cause who knows?

Three years, what?

- Three years?
- Uh-uh. Uh-uh.

Uh-uh. Uh-huh.

So you think the pop-up
is a good idea?

I think the pop-up
is an excellent idea.

- Excellent.
- Yeah.

I think you should try
the pop-up first

- and then work from there.
- Yes, ma'am.

I know I need to be smart
about my money and expenses.

But I also feel I need to be

bold, positive,
and confident about Bar Chix.

I think I should get
the ball rolling on the pop-up

and scout out
a couple of locations.

Whatever works for you--

- Okay.
- And your business.

It's about being successful.

- Do it.
- Yeah.

I asked Traci and Tamar to stay
in Atlanta for another day

because I just think
that it's extremely important

for Traci and Trina
and Tamar

to get together
and talk things out.

I have enough drama in my life
right now with this divorce

and the last thing I need
is for my sisters

to have discord
amongst each other.

I mean, why?

Guys, I want everybody
to come together

because I don't care
what's going on

between the sisterhood,
but I need all of my sisters

to put whatever it is aside.

And I just need my sisters--

-Focus on you.
- Focus on me.

Mommy told me that it's okay
for me to be selfish.

I need my sisters 100%.
Not--I don't nee--

I don't want the 90%
of my sisters,

I want 100% of my sisters.

I thought last night
was about us getting together

and enjoying the food,
you know?

And then with
all this fighting,

I got upset 'cause I'm like,

"Come on, guys,
this is supposed
to have been fun."

This wasn't supposed
to have been arguments
or anything like that,

it was supposed to have
been fun and it went...

Totally left.

I definitely
got into my feelings

because Bar Chix,
that's how I make my money now.

And I-I feel like
it was being disparaged.

And that really...
It rubbed me the wrong way.

And I do want to apologize
to you, Tamar,

because I feel like
I hit you below the belt

when I was talking about
your parenting.

And I apologize for that

'cause that was definitely
below the belt.

I did some soul-searching.
I was like,

"You know, Trina, you were--
You were wrong for that."

So I apologize
from the bottom of my heart.

I don't have to run down
my childcare to somebody

who don't check on me.

Because if you was worried
about my parenting skills,

why you ain't come up in here

and make sure
my son was all right?

Oh...

There's nothing more
I can say about it.

I think Tamar's silence
is very selfish.

It wasn't hard for me
to apologize.

But when I saw
the lack of sincerity

in you even wanting
to receive it,

then that made me want
to recant.

That made me be, like,
"Wait, wait, wait, wait.

"We're here to reach
some resolve

"but it feels
like you want to hold on

"to whatever it is
that you're holding on to

"instead of reaching
that resolve."

I was coming to you guys
because you know,

I trust-I trust
your opinions.

But that doesn't mean
that I have to accept it.

- But I still appreciate it.
- Well then you shouldn't ask.

'Cause when you ask
for people's opinion,

you open the floor for...

The truth. And the honesty
should not offend you.

And I don't know,
maybe I'm a different person

but I appreciate when people
tell me the honest to God truth.

To you, you might feel
like you're being truthful.

But it's the truth
according to you.

Well then maybe
you're the kind of person
who shouldn't ask.

You're the kind of person
who just don't ask

and do what you wanna do.

And that's okay too.

But that's not really fair

for you to get upset
and then offend the person

and then tear down they,
you know, motherhood

and, you know, relationships
and all that stuff that goes--

Tamar, you can't make
a comment like that

when you talk about,
you know, bringing people's

relationships into things,
"blah blah blah,"

because you really have been
that kind of person.

I feel like
at the end of the day,

you know, I haven't said
anything that you didn't say.

I don't know what the (bleep)
she talkin' about.

I ain't never spilled
nobody's tea.

That's not my thing.
I am a vault, okay?

And all of my friends
and frenemies

will tell you that.

Because there are things
that I have not said

that I could have said
that I can still say

that I will not say, okay?

You hold people to the cross
when you have opened the door

and they tell you
what they feel

because you have allowed that?

You know, I just feel like
that's not really that fair

for you to react in that way.

Talk about opening a door?
You and your husband

opened that door because
it's all over the tabloids.

Well, it's all over
the tabloids basically

because, you know,
from the information that I got,

it's one of my sisters did it.

I've never--What?

- Wow...
- One of your sisters did what?

Yesterday
really hurt me 'cause...

No one knew about it.

I feel like something happened.
Just tell me.

Well, maybe like a week
before I went to Atlanta,

I found out I was, uh...

opened that door because
it's all over the tabloids.
You and your husband
ab?

Well, it's all over
the tabloids basically

because, you know,
from the information that I got,

it's one of my sisters did it.

I've never--What?

- Wow...
- One of your sisters did what?

I definitely heard
through the grapevine

because Atlanta is...

That small,

that one of my sisters
in particular

has been talking
about my business.

We don't hang out like that.

We haven't.

So you don't even know
what's going on in Tamar Land.

I heard about it.

So did I.

And you know
where I heard about it too?

At your house yesterday.

You know, let me just
tell you something.

That's what people do,
you know what I mean?

Girlfriends,
that's what they do.

We talk about people man,

they husbands,
they relationships.

What I don't feel like
is ever fair

is when you attack
someone's motherhood.

As a mother in general,

we all battle mommy guilt.

And what you don't want--
Especially somebody

who is your blood
or in your sisterhood

to make you feel like you're
judged on your motherhood.

You know?
And at the end of the day,

I just feel like
it's a little selfish

and a little hurtful

that you would even
think to go there.

- Tamar, let me
ask you a question--
- Like that's nothin--

No, I don't want you
to ask me a question.

- But I--
- I don't want you
asking me a question

'cause I'm not prepared
for it.

And I just feel like
that's being an adult.

I know this is gonna
sound real selfish.

I want my feelings right now

to matter more than
anybody else's at this point

because of what
I'm going through.

I feel like I am here for you.

A divorce is hard
in any right, you know?

I just feel
like I'm going through

my own personal hell.

I'm not trying to take away
from your moment.

But I can't help anybody else

because
I'm going through so much.

That statement yesterday
really...

As a mother, I go through
a lot of mommy guilt.

That statement yesterday
really hurt me 'cause...

Listen, I went to do IVF

and I lost--
Just my daughter.

Vince and I have been trying
to have another child.

IVF is a really tricky thing.

And I've been going through
the process

for like two months.

It's a lot emotionally,
financially, on your body

just to play
Russian roulette basically.

But it's all the same.

Whether you end up
with a baby or not,

whether the baby took or not,
it's still a loss.

And that was just
really hard for me to hear

that I'm just
a really (bleep) mother.

I just feel like
I've been going through
so much loss this year.

But you didn't even tell--
We didn't even know about that.

I didn't have
an opportunity to.

I've been in
this puddle of loss--

- When did that happen?
- 'Cause I lost my job,

and I felt like I lost
a whole bunch of friends.

And my record didn't come out,
I lost my tour.

Then I try to have a baby
and I lose my baby.

And I'm not trying
to make you feel bad

and maybe I'm just emotional

because of what
I'm going through.

- But it was just a...
- Your hormones is going crazy.

- It's a lot.
- You lose a baby? Believe me.

-What I'm sayin--
- It's just a lot.

And I'm sorry, Towanda.

I know you
going through a divorce.

I been through one.
It-it is hard. You right.

And every divorce
is different.

But I'm just in
my own personal...

-Well, Tamar--
- Hell of a bull(bleep)
life right now.

Let me tell you
another part of it.
Let me tell you.

How can we be there for you

if we don't know?

Tamar did not
divulge her pregnancy.

No one knew.
No one knew about it.

So how-how can you
put yourself

in a position of empathy
for someone

when you don't even know
what the situation is?

We don't know when,
we don't know how,

we don't know
all of that information

of the details
of you losing that.

- Means that we potentially--
- I didn't know I was gonna be

called a bad mother
over some damn chicken.

- It doesn't matter.
- I didn't call you
a bad mother.

You did. You said,
"You need to go home

- "and watch your child."
- I did say that.

But I didn't call you
a bad mother.

My truth
doesn't mean anything.

It's always "your truth,"
Tamar.

You're right,
I shouldn't make it about me.

Guys, hello? Hello?
Let me just say this--

Forget about the baby I lost,
forget about my job.

When it comes to me,
I gotta eat my feelings.

It's, "Oh, you too much
in your feelings.

"I ain't do this."
Or, "You all right.
Blah blah blah."

It's-it's-it's-it's cool.

Tamar, come on now.
You know your ego is so high,

why would we have
to check up on you?

Guys, I didn't bring
everybody here for this.

My ego is so high
that I don't have feelings?

I didn't say feelings.

I don't feel like
they being supportive

because they don't give
a (bleep).

I mean,
I'm just being honest.

If you tell your sisters
or your closest friends

that you just had a miscarriage
like a week before,

everything else
should go out the window.

We talkin' about a life.
We ain't talkin' about

no chicken wings.

We ain't talkin'
about a tweet.

At the end of the day,
hurt is hurt.

We are all
going through something.

And just like you want me
to support you,

I need you to support me too.

This isn't what I wanted
us to rally and sit
and talk about.

I didn't want it to turn
left once--Yet once again.

I just thought that maybe
we could come up

with some type of resolution
and move forward.

I don't see it turning left.

I just feel like
I was attacked yesterday.

Out the blue.

I've always supported
Trina's company.

And to have that type
of retaliation is unfair.

I don't feel like
what you had to say
was supportive.

I don't feel like
it was positive.

I felt like
it was an attack.

I did feel that way. I did.
I absolutely did.

And when I was saying
go home and take care
of your child--

I do have something
to say about it.

You know what?

Mommy is an older woman.

- Ain't she?
- Yes, she is.

But sometimes
that's a lot on Mommy.

I don't put my child on Mommy.

- I--You said it, I didn't--
- My son has a...

My nanny stays
at my mother's house
with my child.

Tamar and Trina are...

too emotional right now

to settle any of this.

They're gonna continue
to rehash

everything that happened
and go nowhere.

- I love you.
- I wish the best for you, baby.

I have the best for me.
I wish the best for you.

- You know what?
- Hallelujah?

- I receive that. Thank you.
- Please. Why don't you

get on them knees,
get them knees ashy?

- I will. Have a good one.
- Hmmm.

I thought you was gonna go
to the birthday party.

- You gonna go?
- No.

No, you gotta go
to your friend's
birthday parties.

That's not cool.

If somebody
invites you somewhere

you have to go,
you gotta be social.

- Okay, come on, buddy.
- No.

Come on.

Pick up this thing right here.

Pick it up.

So it's been a very emotional
couple of days for me.

So I just need to be at home

with people
who understand me

and have my back
no matter what.

And that's just my baby Logan
and my husband Vince.

You are the only person
that he listen to.

He does not listen
to his mother.

-
- Is that your phone?

No, that's your son
on the piano downstairs.

Sometimes it can sound like
it's like...

four and five kids
in the house

with just one person.

Yeah, I wish I did have
four or five kids.

You really want
four or five kids?

Listen, I really wish
I knew better

when I was popping off,
"I don't want no kids."

Or, "I ain't havin' no kids."

Like you really gotta be careful
about what you put out there.

You never know.

- Do you want a baby?
- Not right now.

Who's gonna watch it?
I got things to do, busy...

That sounds--Nannies.
There are nannies

But that's why
I don't have one.

Just 'cause my sisters
was hot in the ass

when they was younger
and decided to have kids,

that don't mean that's
what I wanna do with my life.

I don't want to be
the duck with the kids--

- The duck?
- Walkin' behind me.

Yeah, you know how
the duck have the baby

and all the doggone chickadees
and all that.

I don't want that.
That ain't hot.

It's true. Sometimes
you can say things,
but you don't know.

How you feel today?

- I had a rough morning.
- Why?

Because. You know,
first of all,

going through IVF
is not easy.

You know, like,
the mental part.

Trying to stay calm,
trying to stay positive

when the stakes are so high.

And the instant weight gain
and body change?

That throws you
completely off.

But then it's the other side
of, like, "Oh, my God.

"It could be." You know?

But then
once they do the transfer,

it's a downer again
'cause it's a waiting game.

You know what I mean?

Well I decided to go
the IVF route

because I didn't have
another choice.

I did go through IVF,

but I never got
my embryos implanted.

And Logan was a miracle baby
for Vince and I.

And since, you know,
we had the kids in the freezer

and they're younger embryos,

and the younger the embryos,
the better the chances of them

being completely healthy,

we decided to go that route.

You know what I mean?
So it can feel like a downer,

- but it's really not--
- It's a downer, Vince,

because it's a loss,
you know?

Like I feel like
I was positive

and I feel like
I was very sure

and then, like...

it happened
and then it didn't happen.

You never know
until you know.

You don't know until
you're going through it.

And mentally
and financially?

It's hard...

when you don't win
in the end.

And winning in the end
is conceiving a child.

It's-it's hard
to talk about her out loud.

- Do you know what I'm saying?
- But the positive thing

is that you can try again.

Yeah, but you have
to build yourself up mentally

- to try again.
- At the end of the day,

it's all up to God

and he knows best
for every situation.

Even when we think we know.

It's just--
Right now it feels like

a lot of L's.

And I'm tired of L's.

I need W's all around me.

You're hurt.

- It's definitely a loss.
- I'm just really surprised

that my sisters
didn't see it that way.

Like it's just...

- No, we don't want--
- I don't want a pity party.

It's just that,
I guess when you--

When that happens to you?
Really, to be honest,

the only person
that's going through it

is the person
that's going through it.

I'm a little hurt
because I didn't

tell my sisters
for a reaction.

Or I didn't tell my sisters
to gain sympathy,

I told my sisters
because I'm really,

actually going through
something

and that, you know,
is affecting me.

I don't wanna sit up here
and argue about

no damn chicken,
m'kay?

All of that is obsolete.

It's about
what's going on right now

is that I lost my child.

I just wish, you know,
I could just, like,

depend on my sisters more

when it comes
to things like that

because they're women too.

No one's perfect.

But at the end of the day,
you just...

want a little bit
of love and support.

Yeah, especially when

it has everything to do
with family

- 'cause it starts there.
- Starts and ends there.

Nothing's more important
than family.

If one child
has transformed me so much

and made me so happy,

what is another child
gonna do?

Or then another child
on top of that,

or then another child
on top of that?

Like, I wanna keep going
until I can't do it anymore.

Thanks, Vince,
for being my friend.

- Ah, you welcome.
- And my rock.

T...

Why your house
smell like burned up bacon?

I kinda burned
the bacon earlier.

Come on. Shoot.

The tour's done,
and I'm finally back home

in Los Angeles for good.

I've invited Tamar over
because I wanna know

what's-what's been
going on with her.

- You look cute,
where you comin' from?
- Girlfriend. Girl...

I just got back
from Atlanta, child.

Wait a minute. So...

- How's Trina? How's--
- Trina's doing the pop-up shop.

- Is she? Like what kind
of pop-up shop?
- Mm-hmm.

You know, servin',
you know, her best-sellers

from the restaurant.

I thought pop-up places
was for clothes.

Now I know.

Now that I know
what "pop-up" means,

I was thinking
like a Pop-Up Video

on VH1 or something,
I don't know.

But I think it's a great thing.
I mean, if you could just--

Anything that you can do
to get your merchandise

or your product out
is a good thing.

So, you know,
we went to her house

because she wanted to put
some special items on the menu.

She was like,
"Come over to a tasting

"at the house" or whatever.

And so, you know,
I tasted the food

and she didn't want
my response.

Did you taste it? Was it good?
I'm sure it was good.

Okay,
so here was the thing.

It wasn't nasty.

She had chicken wings.

You know I live
for a chicken wing

and I'm very particular
about my chicken.

It just tastes
like chicken syrup,

you know?

And I just couldn't
let that slide.

- Did you tell her that?
- I had to, you know?

I feel like
something happened.

- Just tell me.
- Oh, yeah, girl. Yeah.

Trina got upset with me.

She said, "Go home
and raise your child."

Where'd that come from?

- This is the day
before the chicken?
- Chicken.

No. The chicken.

Chicken. Child.

- What?
- Yeah.

I don't know
how this happened.

He was only there
a couple days.

Toni,
I don't know neither.

You know,
I didn't tell nobody

because it was very,
very new.

- Uh...
- Tell me.

Sometimes you just want
to not be nice

- and that's what that was.
- What? What?

Like, stop.

Guess I'm gonna have
to do things by myself

because I don't like
being told what I should do.

- I don't like it.
- Oh, I'm telling you
what you should do?

- What're you changing?
- Well... change on the menu?
rg

we've already started
manipulating the seafood blend.

So you gonna take that
off the menu?

- No, not quite.
- Okay.

I changed it.

It's been heated up.
And it's hot.

- Really?
- Yes, ma'am.

You feel a certain kinda way
'cause I changed

- the signature dish?
- Um...

There's cream
and cheese in it.

And it's like a hot dip
and it's really delicious.

Oh, okay.

And the customers have been
receiving it very well.

- Really?
- Yes, ma'am.

Okay.

Y-It's selling,
How about that?

I see it on your face
you don't like the fact

- that I changed it.
- No, I think it's good.

Totally a business move.
I respect that.

To change.

Here, here.

You know,
I didn't tell nobody

- because it was very, very new.
- Tell me.

Well maybe like a week
before I went to Atlanta,

I found out
that I was pregnant.

- Congratulations!
- Hold on, what happened was--

No. Uh-uh.

You're pregnant.

No. I was.

I'm sorry, Tay.

Yeah.

I was really disappointed

that she didn't tell me,
but I understood.

Sometimes it's just between
a husband and a wife.

But I was glad
that she finally told me

and I could be there
and hold her hand

because I'm sure that was
a disappointing situation

that happened for her.

And then Trina said

that I push my baby off
on Mommy.

And she too old
to watch my son

like she watches my child.

Okay.

I don't think that Tamar

necessarily pushes
Logan on Mommy,

but I do think there's some
unresolved conversations

that maybe Trina's had
with herself

about Tamar's parenting.

And she should discuss it
with Tamar and say,

"Look, this is what
I think as a sister,"

and be honest.

So it was like,
a whole lot.

Between the thought
of how horrible of a mother

she thought I was...

Sometimes Trina
blurt off like that.

- Maybe--
- 'Cause sometimes
you just wanna not be nice.

And that's what that was.

Listen, maybe she going through
something too.

You don't throw
nobody motherhood in they face.

Like I ain't out here
in these streets like
that, girl.

I'm out here working.
Like, stop.

I ain't turning tricks.
And even if I was,

that don't mean
I'm a bad mama.

That just means I'm a hoe.
But I gotta go.

What? What?
How we go there?

I'm gonna invite
all the girls over

for a sister meeting
to talk about

what happened between them
in Atlanta.

And I'm praying that this time
it'll be different

and we'll reach a resolution
without too much drama.

- I'll call you.
- Okay.

Sorry, Tay. Love you.

Well, let's go through here.
Through Centennial Park

for other choices
for your pop-up.

After sharing with Mom my plans
to open up a pop-up shop,

I'm now starting
the process of scouting

and I've invited Towanda
to come along with me

in Downtown Atlanta
since she's been very supportive

and opinionated
along the way.

Look how busy it is.

It's always something
going on downtown.

But it's always
something going on.

I think that the downtown area

is a perfect spot

for the pop-up Bar Chix

because everything
is right there, Trina.

It just makes more sense,
you know.

Just more traffic right there.
People traffic.

Look.
This is gonna be the bomb.

Look at this.
Look at all this.

Look at all this space,
look at all the people.

There are a lot
of great choices.

- A lotta different choices.
- It is.

I just have to see what makes
more sense

financially,
that's all.

It's more than just saying,
"Ooh, I think

"I'm gonna just pop-up."
No, it's not like that.

You gonna have to explain
"pop-up" then to me

because the way that
I'm thinking about

pop-up locations
is there's a pop-up--

"Oh, there's a Bar Chix
right here."

Yeah, but do you know much
that's gonna have to

go into doing that though,
Towanda?

- No.
- I have to get signage,
I have to get coasters,

I have to get
everything the same

as if you were going
to Bar Chix.

I can't just half-ass it.
I-I can't.

I know there's a lotta work
to be done

in terms of researching
the costs and permits and staff,

and a host of other things--
And it's stressing me out.

That's why I have to
do things by myself,

because I don't like
too many opinions.

- Are you irritated?
- I am.

- Why?
- My eye hurts.

I don't like being told
what I should do.

- I don't like it 'cause--
- Oh, I'm telling you

- what you should do?
- I feel pressurized.

But Trina, I'm telli--
How am I pressuring you?

'Cause I do. I jus--
I feel pressured. I do.

What am I doing to make you
feel pressured though?

"Why don't you do this?
Why don't you do that?
Why don't you just--"

I don't-I don't want--
No, no, no.

Trina is the most sensitive
Braxton sister

and everyone is having
their own comments

and advice for her.

And right now,
I'm just gonna support her

with everything
that she needs.

Listen, I don't want you
to think that I'm just like,

really trying
to tell you what to do.

I'm just excited
for the pop-up

for the Bar Chix,
I'm just excited for you.

But you have
to think about the fact

that I'm nervous too, though.

So I can't just be
so inundated with stuff.

I'm--I have to make sure

it makes sense
for me too, though.

I'm just excited for you, though.

- I appreciate it.
- I think it's gonna
be amazing.

I think it's gonna be
amazing too.

But can we get out
of this amazing cold?

- My eyes are running--
- You should've dressed better.

- I shoulda told you--
- Towanda, I've gotten thinner

so I'm trying
to look thinner.

Well, you look great.

- Look at how pink.
- Bar Chix pink!

-Hello?
- Ooh, Michael Braxton.

Well, Tamar .

So I'm calling my father
because I wanna tell my parents

about the IVF
and miscarriage

and I prefer to have
this conversation face-to-face.

And so I just really hope

he can clear his calendar

and bring his little
yellow behind to LA

to see his baby girl.

What's your plans
in the next few days?
You busy?

Uh, chillaxing.

Well do you think
you could take a break
from relaxation

and get your wheelchair
and cane ready

and get on a plane to come see
you're little young,

vibrant daughter?

You want me
to come out there?

If it's not too much trouble.
I know you're busy relaxing.

Okay.

But I gotta come out there
to see you?

You do.

Must be something serious.

It is.

I feel like
there's an abyss between us.

I don't know y'all anymore.

I'm too short.
I can't reach 'em.

I've invited all the girls
to talk about the events

that recently happened
in Atlanta.

And my goal
is for all of us

to come to some resolution

so we can move on
as a family.

But this could all backfire,

and go completely
off the rails.

Tamar and I are in
a not so good place right now.

We didn't resolve anything
the last time we met,

and haven't talked since
our meeting at Boogalou's.

I'm frustrated,
and I already apologized

so I don't really know
what else to say.

So what happened in Atlanta?

Everything got torn down
because of what?

No one's gonna tell me?

Well...

It all started...

Trina was feeling
that she was being judged

- on her...
- On what?

Her, um, restaurant
ability skills.

- Did you feel that, Trin?
- I did.

-By who?
- By Tamar.

-Basically.
- You were calling me stubborn

because I didn't
serve French fries.

Did they really have
World War III

over French fries?

Okay, there has to be
some underlying issue

that we need to get to.

This cannot be about
freakin' French fries.

I mean when I said it,
I honest to God realized

in that moment that,
"Damn, my sister stubborn."

Like, I never
thought that about you.

I always thought that
about Toni.

Toni's very stubborn.

That is kinda stubborn,
you ain't gonna do french fries.

- "People like french fries."
- Traci, it doesn't matter.

I don't know how
me calling you stubborn

turned into me
being a bad mother.

- No, I didn't call you a b--
- You did.

"Go home and take care
of your child."

Come on, let's not--
We actin--

We gonna act
like that's cool?

If I felt like I wasn't able

to raise my child

in a healthy environment?

Then... I would change
my situation.

But at the end of the day,

I-I swear on everything
that I love and own--

Which is a lot, hallelujah--

I don't need anybody
to co-sign my life.

I got up twice.
First of all, I was saying,

- "Stop. Enough is enough."
- I remember that.

That wasn't warranted
for Trina to say

"Go home and take care
of your child."

- And I told Trina.
-Yes, she did.

I didn't know
that you said that to her.

I was feeling both y'all.
How both y'all was feeling.

I'm gonna start with the fact
that I get very defensive.

I want my business
to thrive so bad,

that when I felt like
it was attacked,

that I went on "10."
And you know what?

And I said to you
from beginning, I said--

- See? This doesn't help.
- Because that wasn't even--

- I'll wait.
- The kids wasn't even
in the story about chicken.

We was talking about chicken.

And had you said,
"Your chicken ain't (bleep),

then that's different--

But don't say, "Go home
and take care of your child"

- when we talkin' about chicken.
- I'll wait.

How did chicken
turn into children?
