- Andre wants full custody.
- Full custody?

And he wants a condo in LA?

I think I want
to try to go to therapy.

I might be able to strike
a balance between

being more aggressive
for my property

and still protect
my children.

A divorce is war.

There's an opportunity
that I wanna talk to you about.

Gonna have to sit down
face-to-face.

So I gotta wait to find out?

Why would you do stuff
like that to me?

You know, I'm trying to do
a pop-up location for Bar Chix.

My financial advisor
was saying

that I should
wait two or three years.

Oh, no.

I know I need
to be smart about my money,

but I also feel
I need to be bold

and confident
about Bar Chix.

Your daughters
wanted to propose

a family vacation.

We want all of us to come

with you and Mommy.

I wanna spend
some more time with y'all.

Well is your wife
gonna let you go?

He might have
to bring his wife.

I just got a hot flash
just thinking about

Mommy and Daddy's wife being
in the same room together.

Mm-mmm.

Took me--I never been
to this place before.

- I'm not usually
a cake person.
-Neither have I.

- But I really wanted
to try it.
- Ooh!

Ooh, it's really
super-cute in here.

Hi, welcome to Georgetown.

- Hello.
- Hi.

I'm so glad that
I'm finally back from LA

because the Bar Chix pop-up
is only four days away

and I still have
a lotta work to do.

And all of my sisters are
coming to town for the pop-up.

So I'm excited to have
some alone time with Mommy

before they all arrive.

Do you have anything
that's cheesecake flavored?

Yes, ma'am, we have two.
We have strawberry cheesecake

- and red velvet swirl chees--
- Oh, my God.

Ooh, the strawberry sounds
like a plan to me.

I'll have a cup of coffee.

Do you have ceramic mugs
or, like, to-go muggies?

- Yes, ma'am.
- Yeah, I'll have

my own mug, please.

To buy and take with me,
blah, blah, blah.

- You want one as well, Mom?
- Yeah.

We're, like, real
real neat freaks.

So do me a favor?
Can you not put your hand,

like, on or inside
of my cup?

- Gotcha.
- And just make sure
it's rinsed.

- Yeah.
- Please. Thank you so much.

I've become even more
of a neat freak

in owning a bar,
as everything

has to be just so.

But I mean, there's nothing
wrong with being clean.

Wouldn't you rather have
a clean woman

than a dirty woman?

That way you know
everything's clean.

That's all I'm saying.

- What's going on, girl?
- You know,

sometimes I don't know
if I'm winding my head

- or scratching my butt.
- You know why?

'Cause you have
so much going on.

You're trying to deal
with the business,

you're trying to deal
with the pop-up.

- It's a lot.
- Yeah.

This Bar Chix pop-up
has me really stressed.

And I need this event
to go off without a hitch

so I can really figure out
if a second Bar Chix location

is in my future.

It's a lot of pressure

because it's costing me
a lot of money,

and my reputation
as a restauranteur is at stake.

I'm proud of you.

I have to be honest,
I'm super-nervous.

But I think being nervous
is a good thing

because if you're too cocky
about a situation,

then-then you're susceptible
to making many more mistakes.

- Yeah.
- So cautious is good.

And then especially
after the blowup...

And these are
black and blue sliders.

Love them cheese sliders
when it's vegetarian.

You know, why this chicken
have so many feathers on it?

Say everything
you need to say.

I don't feel like
that's anything bad.

I'm not (bleep)
on nobody.

Tamar, you know exactly
what you're saying--

- Trina, grow up.
- I'm not the one
who needs to grow up.

You grow up.

Thank God everything
is fine now.

Thank you, Lord.

You know, I decided
especially because of that,

I think it's better
for me to just go ahead

and do it by myself
and not include the girls.

I just want them to be there
and enjoy themselves.

And just do it on my own.

Nothing wrong with having
your sisters come in

and eat and sit back
and enjoy what you're doing.

- That's a wonderful thing.
- Yeah.

I've invited all my sisters
to Atlanta this week

to attend my pop-up.

However, I'm gonna be
so busy this week

getting things prepared,
that I probably

won't even see them
until the big day.

But it's all just as well,

because I think
we get along much better

when I don't consult them
on my business endeavors.

So I wanted to ask you
about something.

- Okay.
- Have to be honest,

I had a conversation
with Daddy about it too.

We had dinner
with Daddy last week,

and Toni volunteered
to ask Mommy

if she would be all right
with Daddy to bring

his current wife, Miss Wanda,
along on our trip.

I'm in support of whoever
wants to tell Mommy.

- It's just not me.
- I'll do it. I'll do it.

No, we'll ask Mommy.
Not tell her anything.

We're gonna ask Mommy
how would she feel

about the possibility of us
being a blended family

while on holiday.

I'm gonna leave that awkward
conversation to Toni

since she volunteered.

But first,
I think it's important

that I invite Mommy
on the trip

since she hasn't even
heard about it yet.

The girls and I were
thinking about

taking another trip
with you and Daddy.

We feel like
we need healing right now.

Especially given
all that's happened.

He thinks that
it's a really good idea

'cause we need
to spend some time together.

Right.

The first time Braxton
and the kids and I

have gone on vacation was
Braxton driving the Winnebago.

Welcome to
the Braxton family vacation!

Wait a minute.
We riding in a Winnebago?

- We read' to go?
- Uh, no.

I really did not want to go.

No TV allowed,
no radio allowed

because this is family time.

Who lives like this?

It's like old times.

Dad's driving,
my mom's up front.

I mean, they're not
speaking to each other.

How long have we been riding?

This thing is far away.

The Winnebago experience
wasn't good for me.

Matter of fact,
I was miserable.

But they want to go
on vacation

and so I'm willing
to make a sacrifice.

That's fine.
Let's take a vacation.

I want you guys
to get together and be sisters.

- Me too.
- And friends, you know?

That's all I care about.

I'm glad Mommy is cool with
Daddy coming along on the trip,

but I am not gonna ask Mommy
about Daddy's wife coming.

I did my part,
now it's up to Toni

to handle hers.

I don't want any part
of that conversation.

- I gotta go, baby.
- I'm taking my coffee with me.

Me too.
Love you much.

You not gonna kiss me
or nothing?

Ooh, Lord.
You know I'mma kiss you.

You know, I haven't been
kissing anybody

- so my lips are clean.
- Thank God for Jesus.

- Hey.
- Hey.

- What's going on?
- Hey.

I'm in Atlanta for Trina
Bar Chix pop-up.

Cliff meets me here because

of some mysterious business
opportunity he has for me.

I'm dying to know what it is

and why he had me come
all the way to Georgia

to tell me.

- How was LA?
- Great.

- Was it?
- It was.

That's good, though.
I'm glad LA was a success.

Well, you know,
my phone conversation to you

- about the business idea...
- Yeah.

These guys came to me and
I think it's just so awesome.

Um, you will be endorsing
a liquor brand.

We want you to be
an ambassador

and help brand the liquor
and become a spokesperson.

- What kinda liquor is it?
- It's a whiskey.

Um...

I love whiskey,
but my biggest concern

about being the spokesperson
for this whiskey line

is that it might not be
a good look for me in my career.

Well, then can we test
the liquor at least?

Well, we're going
to visit their company.

- We gonna visit the distill--
- There's a distillery?

- We gonna visit it.
- Is it here in Georgia?

- Yeah.
- So can I bring a big cup?

Oh, Jesus.

I need to taste it first

and I need to see
the distillery

and see the process because
I wanna be behind a product

that I can brag about,
and not a product

that I won't be able
to drink myself.

If it's good, it's good.
If it ain't, it ain't.

I just want you
to understand

the business opportunity
at hand.

This is a right-now
situation

for us to do business
with a reputable company.

For us to coincide
the album with it.

You go on in the clubs

promoting the liquor,
promoting the album.

I believe that this
is a great opportunity for you.

- I wouldn't have
pursued this...
- Right.

If I knew for sure that
it wasn't positive for you.

I think this will help you

because you got Trina
who has her liquor line

and she has her restaurant.

Of course you got Toni
that can support it,

Tamar that can support it,
Towanda that can support it.

You know, all the sisters'll
be in place.

All of my sisters
have projects going on.

I mean, if I'm gonna
be a big girl

and try to do, you know,
be an entrepreneur

and have other businesses,
I have to think about it.

I know you.
I already know you

and that's why-that's why
I took on this deal.

That's why I entertained it.
Because of you.

When the public sees
Traci Braxton,

I want them to think,
"Oh, that girl can sing

and, you know,
she's an entrepreneur."

So I'm going to check out
the distillery

and learn more
about this brand.

It could be fun.

If this blows up,

our future is in our hands.

Okay.

- Come on in, right this way.
- Thanks, doc.

I filed for divorce from Andre
about six weeks ago.

And today I'm going
to therapy

because I think it will
help me figure out

how to navigate this divorce

and hopefully gain insight
on sparing my kids.

Put yourself at ease.
I'm here for you.

- Okay.
- Okay?

I have never been one
to really express

the way that I'm feeling
at all whatsoever.

So this is even
a growing process for me

to open up to the doctor.

Today's an intake session.

Just wanna get to know you
a little bit better.

So let me get into a little bit
about your backstory.

Just tell me a little bit
about your past,

where you grew up,
what it was like for you
growing up.

My parents
were both ministers.

Um, we were very,
very close-knit.

Extremely close-knit, and then
my parents got a divorce.

They were married for 38 years
and then got a divorce.

I was right out high school,
I do believe,

when it started happening.

At the time,
Mommy and Daddy's relationship

was so "perfect"
in our eyes.

You know, they were
the pillar of the community.

And when that happened,
I think we were all devastated

and it affected us
in a different way.

So tell me about how
you and Andre met.

I met him...

I met him at a club.

- Okay.
- Here in Atlanta.

We were friends
for a couple of years.

And then, you know,
we just started dating.

I didn't think that
we would ever get married.

- Hmm.
- And then one day

he just said, "Let's just go
to the courthouse."

And we went to the courthouse
and got married.

At the time,
I really felt

that Andre and I were
just gonna date

and never get married.

Honestly, I never thought
that I would ever get married

because of what happened
between Mommy and Daddy,

because I was scarred.

That affected me in believing
that there's never

gonna be a perfect marriage.

So I just got married
to Andre.

So tell me what
the current situation,

current status is
of your relationship.

Um, I filed for divorce.

Complete divorce,
and I'm sure

that this is what I want now.

Okay. All right.

So the main thing that I'd
be able to help you all with

is communicating more
effectively with each other.

And there's gonna be
some give-and-take

and compromise
on both your parts

because you're gonna
at least know ho--

Have to know how to do that

as you co-parent
with each other.

And as you go
through this process,

you might have
some disagreements about...

- uh, custody and all--
- That's the main...

- That's the main issue?
- He wants full custody,

and I'm not willing
to give him full custody.

He cannot take
my children away from me.

That's like ripping my spirit,
my soul right out of me.

- No.
- Yeah. Yeah. Okay.

The prime directive is

what's in the best interest
of the kids.

That's the prime directive
when you're going through this.

You get to the point where
you just start battling

and just trying to stick it
to the other person just because

or to keep the kids away from
the other person just because,

'cause you're mad,
that gets nasty.

So...

what I recommend is having
your husband join us.

Bringing him in here and
talking about it might help.

I doubt Andre
would be open

to joining me in therapy.

Andre is really angry
right now.

Um... okay.

I'mma try to get
Andre in here to talk.

Okay. You're willing
to do that?

Mm-hmm.

You know,
I-I...

I guess I really need
to be prepared for a fight.

The cops came
to your sister house.

The police?

She said, "Did Trina
go to jail?"

I'm worried because
she may be in trouble.

- Hello! Hi.
- man: Hello, hello.

- I'm Skip Mason.
- Traci.

I'm at Lazy Guy Distillery
with Cliff and Towanda.

I'm looking forward
to learning more

about this brand ambassador
opportunity today.

I would've brought
Trina because

as a bar owner,
this is right up her alley.

But Trina's probably
working her butt off

trying to do this pop-up.

I want to give you
a little background

on the history
of blacks in the West.

When I was growing up
as a little boy,

I never knew
of any black cowboy.

I grew up watching
TV and movies

and so I became very intrigued
about learning

about the history
of blacks in the West.

The Buffalo soldiers,
the cavalry.

I remember
an African-American man

by the name
of Bass Reeves

who was the first black
US Marshall out of Texas.

Arrested over 3,000 felons.

And so black cowboys,
it's about unsung heroes

of blacks in the West.

I found it interesting.

And with this history,

it's a brand that
I can brag about.

I think it's
a wonderful opportunity

to take that rich history
of blacks in the West,

and to share the history
with a new generation

of people who don't know
very much about it.

I'm liking the idea
of this brand ambassador

more and more,
and I know the pressure

is going to be on me now.

It's freaking me out
a little bit.

But I mean,
I have to be a professional.

-We gotta sample
this one.
-Yes, we do.

Here, sample this one.

Oh, that is so good.

I'm not sure

if this spokeswoman gig
is such a good idea for Traci.

Okay? She have to be around
alcohol all the time

and this ain't good
for nobody.

They communion cups. I normally
take two during church--

You steal from God, Traci?

- You not 'sposed to take two.
- I'm not stealing from God,

God said, "Come as you are.

Right, and you came
as a thief...

because you only
supposed to get one.

Towanda, you not being
a good participator.

My name is Towanda,
I can't drink brown right now

unless I'm at home.

I would be stuffed
in a barrel, Traci.

I can't.

I'm meeting
with Andre tonight

so I need a clear head.

And I can't get
all liquored up, you know...

And plus, this is Traci's thing.

I'm here to support Traci.

Taste it.

- Ready?
- Mm-hmm.

You make me so sick
right now.

- Mm-hmm. Mm-hmm.
-That's good.

- I like that.
- Amazing.

I wasn't too sure about
this brand ambassador for Traci.

But seeing the way
she handled this tasting,

I am just so impressed.

She was still a little wacky
because, you know,

that's-that's Traci
but she held it all together.

Traci, you should
be a brand ambassador.

It's gonna be
a good idea.

- Okay. Yes.
- I think so.

- It's gonna be a good idea.
- I like it, though.

- I think that's awesome.
- Yes.

It is a great opportunity.

-So, Vince...
-What up?

I'm making us
a celebratory cocktail.

Why?

I think it's time to play
the record for my mama.

I'm ready to hear
what she gotta say about it,

you know what I mean?

So before I fly to Atlanta

to enjoy some delicious food
at Trina's pop-up shop,

Vince and I are gonna enjoy
some of my delicious,

famous margaritas,
honey,

because I just recorded
the most amazing track

for my next album

and it's a special song
that I wrote.

And it's real real close
to home.

So you nervous about
playing it for your mother?

I'm very nervous
about playing it.

- Why?
- Because I ain't ever been

in a situation where
I wrote a song about my mama

and my daddy
and their situation.

But music is supposed to be
inspired by something like...

"Oh, I'm sorry, Mama.

"Your divorce inspired me.

I'm sorry, Daddy, you cheatin'
on my mama inspired me."

Like wait a minute,
what happened?

I'm super nervous
to play the song for my mom

because it's gonna bring up
a lot of old feelings about

infidelity because she ain't
never wanna talk about it.

But the only way to heal is
to talk about it and move on.

So when you gonna play
the song for her?

I can play the song
for Mommy and the girls

probably in Atlanta
for Trina's pop-up.

- What do you think?
- I think the sooner
the better.

- You know what I think?
- What?

I think after this drink
you're gonna have

to go lay down somewhere

'cause there's a lot
of alcohol in here

and you ain't no Braxton.
you ain't got our kind of liver.

You know what I mean?

- Cheers for y'all liver.
- Cheers to my liver.

And my mama
not pulsating me.

My therapist
suggested for me

to bring Andre
to counseling.

But I doubt Andre will be open
to joining me in therapy.

I need to give Andre a call.

I hope he's willing to talk.

Hey.

Oh, nothing.
I was just calling

because I was
sitting here thinking

that maybe we should,
um,

meet and talk
about some things.

Even though Andre and I
live in the same house,

we haven't been talking much
since I saw my attorney.

We have both been avoiding
any conversations

that are difficult.

And I think it's time
we put our feelings aside

and start
a mature conversation

to help settle
this custody battle

because I am not willing to let
this divorce impact the way

that my parents' divorce
impacted me.

I mean, I don't know
what we can say at this point.

You've already made your case

by filing
for this divorce.

So I just don't understand

the point of having
a conversation.

The point is is for us
to amicably handle the situation

and talk and hear each other.

And I just think
that sometimes, you know...

We--I'm owning
what I'm owning,

and I'm owning the fact
that there are times

where we're having
a conversation

and I'm not really
hearing you.

I-I just think that we just
need to sit

and talk about some stuff.

I don't know, it just sounds
like a set-up to me.

What do you mean,
a set-up?

Usually with a situation

like that,
there's more to it.

I don't know what
your alternative motive is.

Andre is already salty.

So I'm not sure how
this conversation is gonna go.

Why would you say that?
Seriously?

That is terrible
for you to say.

He's doing any
and everything--

- Nope.
- Just to get at me.

I'm not gonna do
joint custody.

I want the kids.

I'm glad we're in
a public place.

Right now I'm just getting
a little pissed off and upset.

I just don't understand

the point of having
a conversation.

I don't know, it just sounds
like a set-up to me.

I--Hey, what do you mean,
a set-up?

Usually with a situation

like that,
there's more to it.

I don't know what
your alternative motive is.

Okay, I've never had
any ulterior motive.

I've always been
up front and honest about--

Especially when it comes
to that type of stuff.

Okay, but you
gotta understand.

I mean,
this whole thing is, uh...

Is-is pretty devastating.

And I've never
felt like your husband.

I know that Andre
is hurting.

And I know that he's angry

and I know I'm responsible
for some of that.

But we need to learn
to be respectful of each other.

And at this point,
we can't get there ourselves.

It's important for me for us
to move forward

in a positive way.

- I just wanna make sure--
- There's nothing positive
about divorce.

- I didn't say-I didn't--
- So I don't see how

we're gonna be moving forward
in a positive way

while we're getting
a divorce.

Because it doesn't have
to be anger.

I need Andre to meet me,
and I think it's best

to do this where we won't
run into the risk

of the kids overhearing
the conversation.

All I'm asking
is just be willing

to come and meet with me
just to see, you know,

what I have to say
or what we need to talk about.

All right, all right.

I'm really hesitant
about it.

I just don't see any point,
but okay.

- Thank you.
- Bye.

- This is huge.
-Isn't it cute?

- Oh, this is so cute.
- Look at this chair.

- I don't like the chair.
- I love the chair.

Like in the glam room,
it's dope.

Oh, glam room is dope.
I thought you meant living room.

- Girl, come on now.
- I know, I just--

What's next?
The black leather couch?

So since we're both
in Atlanta anyway

for Trina's pop-up,
Toni is coming with me

as I look for furniture
for my second home.

Now I haven't found
the perfect house yet,

but it gives us a chance to
actually start planning

the trip we all talked
about over dinner

with Daddy last week.

This would be cute
in the glam room.

I like pretty much
everything in here.

- There's great pieces.
- They have great pieces.

So how do people
be a blended family?

How do we have our parents
together on holidays?

Which I'm here for.

It's like... when is when?

Well, Daddy's gonna want
to bring his wife.

- She can't come.
- No, she can't come.

Everybody ain't
invited to the party.

Sometimes there ain't
a plus-one.

I understand that,
but he's gonna try that

'cause it's probably
causing problems in his home.

Like, you know what I mean?

"I can't--I'm your wife.

Why can't I be a part
of your family?"

- I mean, she is Daddy's wife.
- That's not your family.

- But she's not Ma's mother.
- That's not my family, though.

She's not my family.

I know I told my sisters
I would talk to Mommy

and see how she feels
about possibly

taking a trip with
my father and his current wife.

But after being honest
with myself,

I decided I would never,
ever put my mom through that.

And I know my dad's
gonna be disappointed.

We just don't want him
to bring his wife.

But I know that this is better
for all of us involved.

When I really thought
about it, when we had

that conversation with
"Maybe, you know,

we need to be blended families
and stuff."

- Yeah.
- I said, "Well, maybe"...

But adding the ex-wife that
we thought

we talked about before,
that's not gonna be an option.

As a woman,
I thought about that.

Like, she can't do that.
I couldn't do it.

If my divorce was
because of infidelity

and another woman
was involved?

Nah. I don't want
that chick around.

Toni is right,
you know what I mean?

You don't ask your mama
can your daddy's wife

come on the trip.
Like, get yo--

Like, Toni ain't stupid.
She Toni Braxton,

"Living Legend" for a reason.
She ain't no dumbass.

- Oh, that's cute.
- Isn't that cute?

Let's see how much that is.

These things...

This a cute furniture store.

Yes. It's so cute.
Like, if I had a daughter

and she just graduated
from college,

I would, like,
decorate her place like this.

Have you seen Trina yet?

You know, did you talk to her?

I haven't heard from her
since we been here in Atlanta.

Come sit yo ass down 'cause
my feet hurt a little bit.

How we gonna be
sitting in the store?

Girl, we supposed
to be shopping.

People gonna look at us
like we crazy.

I gotta tell Toni
something important

because I'm super afraid
one of my sisters

could be in trouble.

So, um, I was getting
my hair done

- and I heard some news.
- Okay, what? Tell me.

I can't tell you 'cause
then you

gonna tell everybody I know.

It was so juicy.

Tell me! Tell me! Tell me!

- You know what
the real deal is.
- That's not true.

Tell the mother(bleep)
to stop calling me.

What's-what's wrong?
Are you hurt?

If someone
hurt my sister Trina,

there will be hell to pay.

T-T-T-T-TC!

What up, Tay?

- Hi.
- Good to see you.

I'm at the studio.

I'm almost done recording
the most amazing album.

Guess what?

Logey, you look
so fresh today.

You know, I saw you
on the internet, right?

I did. In school.
So let me ask you a question.

Who you was
holding hands with?

Why you was holding
Stella's hands for?

She ain't try
to do nothin' else?

She try to get a kiss
or something?

Not yet?

Let me tell you something.
She try to kiss you,

this is what you do--
you go

That's right.

You don't kiss girls,
you kiss Mommy, right?

- Yeah.
- Mommy only.

Let me show you what to do.
Come on.

That's what you do.

That's what you do.

Okay, what? Tell me. doned

I can't tell you 'cause
then you

gonna tell everybody I know.

It was so juicy.

Tell me! Tell me! Tell me!

- Tell me! What?
- Oh, my God, this

The saliva takin' over.

- Tell me! What happened?
- Oh, girl, it's T for Jesus.

- What happened?
- Okay, if I bump this titty,

- Toni, you better not--
- I promise I'm not gonna say--

I never tell anything.
I told one time!

Put your right hand up.
Put your right hand up.

- Right here.
- Okay, I got--

Do you solemnly swear
Wait, why am I doing it?

I'm not about
to say anything.

Wait a minute.
Put your hand up.

No, I'm not
about to tell nothing.

- Put your hand up.
- Why, I--

Say, "I'm Toni Braxton.
'Living Legend.'"

My name is Toni Braxton.

"Living Legend."

- My name is Toni Braxton.
- "Living Legend."

- My name is Toni Braxton.
- Could be another Toni Braxton.

Toni Braxton,
"Living Legend."

Toni The Braxton.

"Living Legend."

Toni Braxton,
"Living Legend."

- And...
- And...

- The information...
- The information...

- That I receive...
- That I receive...

From my beautiful...

From my beautiful.

From my loudmouth,
youngest...

- Baby sister.
- Amazing sister.

Sister, Tamar Braxton.

- Did not tell me...
- Did not tell me...

- Anything...
- Anything...

- That pertains...
- That pertains...

- To Trina.
- To Trina.

- And... and...
-

- And...
- Her jailbird.

Her jailbird?

- Girl...
- Her jailbird?

- Gabe's in jail?
- I promise.

This is really under--
how it happened.

I'm getting my hair done.

And you know how people
bump T at the hair place, right?

- Right, right.
- I had heard they said that,

"Did you hear about"...

- No lie.
- What? What? Who?

- Just the hand to the man.
- Who's the boyfriend? Gabe?

"Black Nasty."

Wait a minute, hold up.
Jacent?

Girl, they said the po-po
had came for him.

The police?
Where, at the bar?

At Trina's house?

- Federal?
- The cops came

to your sister house.

- White collars.
- Is his name really Jacent?

Who knows?

I'm starting to get
concerned about Trina.

We haven't heard from her
since I've been here in Atlanta.

And I thought
I would've by now

because she's working
on her pop-up store.

But she's doing it alone.

But now I'm worried
because I think now

she may be in trouble.

I'm really sad for her.
Like, "for real" for real.

Towanda know everything.

Trina can't handle
stuff like that.

She's not built that way.

Hello?

Now...

why you ain't tell me
about Jacent?

That he got arrested?
Girl, yeah, he got arrested.

I knew he was shady.

Something's wrong.

I told Toni
Towanda know everything.

I-I found out
at the hair salon.

- Wow...
- I'm serious.

This some real (bleep).
I'm not lyin', makin' this up.

- I'm serious.
- I told y'all he
wasn't (bleep).

- I told y'all.
- Okay.

You don't like him?

Listen, she was just supposed
to hang out with him

and, you know, getting her
over her ex-husband.

- Not... all that.
- 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.

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

They came to her house.

Real question is
how is Trina?

- No she's not.
- Please meet us.

Please meet us.
Please meet us.

'Cause I got to know.
I got to know.

I gotta look you
in your face.

- I just feel for Trina.
- I want Traci to come,

but I don't want Trina
to think we're talking

about her behind her back.

Although we are--
Although I'm not talking

behind her back 'cause
I found out differently.

- You know what I'm saying?
- It's an intervention

- how to help her 'cause I--
-Intervention? Why?

So you gonna do
a Trina-vention?

I feel terrible
for Trina right now.

With the pop-up stuff
happening,

she must be completely
stressed enough.

But with all this drama
on top of it with Jacent,

I think she's probably
losing her mind.

And I don't care
what Towanda says,

we just need to try
and get ahold of Trina

and just meet her
and make sure she's okay.

I'm busy tonight.

I'm meeting up with Andre,
but I'll see

if Trina can meet tomorrow.

But let me get
something clear first.

When we go, who's paying?

Well, Toni live in style now.
She got all her (bleep).

Her boyfriend--Yeah,
her boyfriend signed...

Go this way. Go that way.

You right, you right.
Toni can pay this time.

She can pay all the time.

You know,
all this shade...

My therapist wants me
to meet with Andre and I

to help us talk through
the custody issue
in our divorce.

So I asked Andre to meet me
here away from home

because I don't think
it's healthy

to have this discussion
in front of our children.

Plus, I'm not sure
how he's gonna react

when I ask him to come
to counseling with me.

So I'm glad we're in
a public place.

- Hey, Carter.
- Hey, what's going on?

Nothin'.

Can I sit down?

Please, have a seat.

I don't know,
you might have it reserved

- for somebody else.
- Why would I have it

reserved for somebody else?
Like, seriously?

Some (bleep)
might show up.

For real?
Why would you say that?

Seriously?

So what's up?

That is terrible
for you to say.

After all this time,
in my mind,

I don't think it's time
to get divorced.

But in her mind it is.

I don't know the real reason
why we're getting a divorce.

So I'm still fickled
and puzzled

right now
as I'm speaking.

I know you don't
feel like talking.

Nah, 'cause it's gonna be
the same old (bleep).

What-what do you
wanna talk about?

I talked to my lawyer
Antavius--

Yeah, and?

He told me that you wanted
an LA property

and the Maryland property.

Yes. I do.

And I want the kids.

- Now, we can do joint custody.
- I'm not doing joi--

I believe that joint custody
would be better.

I'm not gonna do
joint custody.

- Those are my kids too.
- I know they your kids too.

I just don't think
that it should be full cust--

Who was home
to raise the kids

while you were
out there working?

I've been there
since day one.

I gave up my career
for them.

All right? And I know
that you're doing

what you're doing
to support them financially,

but I was there emotionally.

I was there, first ballet,
first football practice--

I was there for that too.

No, you flew in
at the last minute.

So, but I was there.

That's the whole point,
is that I was there.

So during the times
that you have to get up

in the middle of the night
and fly to LA for your family--

- What you mean for my family?
- Whenever you have--

- The kids are my family.
- No, whenever you have

family emergencies,
you get up

in the middle of the night
and you just leave town.

I wanna have full custody

because I'm gonna be there
most of the time.

Towanda's not there
most of the time.

Also,
I did it out of anger.

I'm gonna say that, yeah.
I was angry.

A little spite. So yeah,
I'm gonna take her

to her threshold to see
how much

she's gonna fight
for her kids, as well.

She didn't seem
to fight for them

while we were
in the marriage,

so maybe she'll fight for 'em
while we're not.

While we're going through
a divorce process.

You give us second thought.

We don't become
first thoughts to you,

we're second thoughts.

You can sit there and shake
your head all you want to,

but you know what
the real deal is.

You know what
the true issue is--

- That's not true.
- It is true.

Okay, when the kids
are asking me "Where Mommy is?

"Mommy's gone,
Mommy's not here,

Mommy's never here,"
how am I supposed

to answer those questions?

"Mommy ain't here for this"
and "Mommy ain't here for that."

Or, "Why Mommy always gotta
jump on a plane for her family

but she's not thinking
about us?"

How am I supposed
to answer those questions?

- You tell me how I'm suppo--
- What do you mean,

not thinking about them?

Andre making
that statement about how

I didn't fight for our children
while we were married.

I mean, it's absurd.
He's hurt.

He's doing any and everything
just to get at me.

Listen, when he goes low,
I go high.

That's all I could say.

What do you mean not thi--
Are you serious?

- Not thinking about the kids?
- I want full--

I want full custody
of the kids.

- That's the bottom line.
- That's not--No.

After all that I've done--

What about all the stuff
that I've done?

I-I-I've given you
credit on that.

Oh, and I've given you credit
on the things that you've done.

The kids deserve a little more
attention right about now.

There's not a day that goes by
that I don't talk to my kids--

But FaceTime and talking
to 'em on the phone is

- different from being there--
- When it comes to them,
I will figure it out.

When they got a scraped knee
and a broken elbow

or broken arm, do you think
they're getting

- the attention they need?
- I absolutely give my--

You really believe that?

Right now I'm just getting
a little pissed off and upset.

And that's not
why I invited you here

to have this conversation.

See, this is why
Andre and I

never talk about
our problems, okay?

Because whenever we do,

it always ends up
in an argument.

A deep, heated argument.

And obviously we need
a professional

to teach us how to communicate
more effectively

'cause I don't want to put
my kids in the middle

like my parents put us
in the middle.

But the way
this conversation is going,

I'm even more hesitant
to bring up the idea

of a counselor.

I have to try, though.

I, um, I went
and talked to somebody.

I talked to a counselor.

And I really think
that it's important

for both of us to go talk
to the counselor.

I really do. I really do.

- I don't need therapy.
- It's not about therapy.

- I don't need no therapy.
- It's--Oh, my God.

All I need is my kids.

- I don't need therapy...
- You're not hearing me--

We're not here
listening to each other.

And tell your attorney
don't call me no more.

I'm just saying,
why can't we talk

to somebody, though?

Tell the mother(bleep)
to stop calling me.

Talk about it, Trina.

I didn't do anything.

I'm not gonna let nobody
screw you over.

So you have
to vindicate yourself.

Even though I have
a lot of crap going on

with the divorce
and Andre,

we're all focused on
what's going on with Trina.

And I invited her
to come here to meet with us

and she's on her way here.

And while I talked
to her briefly,

I know she's safe.

And as her sisters,
we need to check on her

and, you know, just be here
for her if she needs us.

We are sitting at
our favorite place in Atlanta

to find out what's
really going on with Trina

because the only thing
that we've heard

is what we heard
on the streets.

So now we ain't calling it
a "Tamar-vention,"

it's a "Trina-vention,"

which is past due.

Late.

I'm really worried
about Trina.

And I don't know why
she hasn't mentioned

the Jacent rumors
to us directly.

But this is something
she's gonna have

to tell us about,
she's gonna have to talk now.

Usually when we all
get together,

we're talking and laughing.

But today,
the mood is pretty tense.

Bottom line is,
if someone hurt my sister Trina

there will be hell to pay.

- Hey, Trina.
- Hey, La-trine.

Hi! Oui, oui!

Oui, oui, monsieur.

I'm glad all of us sisters

are getting together
for lunch today

because there is a pretty big
bomb I need to drop

and nothing goes better
with bad news

than Mexican food
and margaritas.

I just hope they're not
gonna be too upset with me.

Ooh, thank you.
It looks so scrumptious.

Hey, guys, there's something
I have to tell you.

Well, guys, I'm not
doing the pop-up.

Okay, forget a pop-up shop.

I'm more concerned about

Trina's other news,
this new news.

Y'all know
I was fully invested.

Especially when
my money's involved,

you know I don't play
with my money.

But it just...
It's not the right time

and it has
to be done right.

The pop-up situation
wasn't right.

Can't happen.

Sometimes when you don't
talk about stuff,

it's almost like you got
something to do

with the shenanigans.

So you about to rectify
and clear your name

because if somebody's
in trouble,

you don't know what the hell
they throwing around in jail.

Clear your name!

Why is it suddenly quiet?
What's happening?

I can't do this.

You know, if we're gonna
discuss something

we're gonna be discussing,
you know, the fact

that Trina's boyfriend
got picked up by the cops.

We need to get into that.

- No, I'm just saying.
- Why don't you say something?

- What happened?
-Trina,
so what happened?

- Are you hurt?
- Not even a little bit.

- So what happened?
- I just-I just don't think

- that this is the forum--
- It's the forum.

It's not. It's not.

Now, I know we done been
through some rough times

as sisters over
the past few weeks,

but Trina needs
to understand

that the only people
who can help her

are in this room right now.

She needs to stop
being afraid

and tell us what's
really going on.

I don't want you lookin'
crazy in the streets.

- I didn't do anything.
- I don't understand...

what-what-what's wrong?
Why are you so hesitant to--

You should talk about it,
Trina.

- Before people start talking...
- People are so quick to think

and judgmental, so you have
to vindicate yourself

and trust your sisters
so we can have your back.

Because I couldn't--
I couldn't have your back

when homegirl
mention it to me.

You wanna know why?
'Cause I didn't know

nothing about it.

I didn't know.

At some point,
you have to start

trusting your sisters.

I'm trying super hard
not to be defensive

but I don't understand why
I have to open up

about everything in my life,

when Towanda really doesn't
want to talk about her divorce,

Toni never wants to discuss
her relationship with Birdman,

Tamar didn't tell anyone
about her fertility issues

or her mess
with her husband,

and Traci's always keeping
her feelings bottled up.

Golly jeepers.

Who told you?

My hairdresser told me.

She said,
"Is your sister okay?

Did she go to jail?"

She said,
"Did she go to jail?"

Yeah.

I'm not lying.

You know Atlanta
is this small.

You don't want
people thinking

you had anything to do
with this ridiculous frog.

I'm not gonna let nobody
screw you over,

make you look
like you a damn criminal
when you are not.

You're a hardworking,
African-American citizen.

Educated one.
No, I'm just saying.

Now Trina done said
a few weeks ago

that she feel
like she don't know us

because we all don't talk
like we used to.

Now none of us want to feel
that way.

But if we're going to change,

we need to reach out
and communicate.

And that's the only way

that everything's gonna
come together.

So...

Jacent came over
to my house

to get some of his things.

There was a knock at the door.
Bang-bang-bang-bang-bang.

Go upstairs.
I went to the door,

and he's in handcuffs.

-He's in what?
- Handcuffs.

What?
