"Braxton Family Values"...

Well, I know...

Are you sure?

You gonna become
unbooked for me?
For me?

Now, my next album cover
needs to be perfect
in every capacity.

Yes...

Not that I was
ear-hustling.

You were
ear-hustling.

But I heard Daddy's
trying to meet up
with Jacent.

What do you think
that means?

If Jacent had a meeting
with my dad,

it can only mean
he wanna get married.

Uh...

I wanna come to you
as a man.

I want your blessing.

I don't want you
to take advantage
of her vulnerability.

So these are
the people?

My dry-run opening is to see
how ready my staff is

for the actual bar opening.

Hold up! You touchin'
a little bit too much.

There have been
too many instances

of inappropriate
behavior.

He needs to leave
the premises.

- Do you either want--
- Can't no-- body
punk me right now!

I'll-- smack the--
out of anyone right now!

I think it's safe to say
the party's over.

♪ We are the Braxtons
and you'll see ♪

♪ That we are just like
an ordinary family ♪

♪ Toni, Traci,
Towanda, Trina ♪

♪ Tamar and Miss E will ♪

♪ Teach you
a thing or two ♪

♪ On "Braxton
Family Values." ♪

Tamar, why you
being Señorita?

I actually thought
I was giving, um...

- Madonna?
- No.

"Simply Irresistible"?

I'm giving that.
I'm giving that.

The dry-run party last night
was pretty intense,

and unfortunately it ended
kind of abruptly.

So I wanna get
my sisters together

and hear their feedback
on what they thought
about the staff.

And I'm also waiting
for a very important call
from Jay

so I can find out
if the permits came through

to finish Bar Chix.

We can be ready
to open at any minute,

so I really need
to get my staff hired.

Who did you like, Tone?

I liked Granola,
Sean Penn,

because he didn't
make me feel

any kind of way
except I was a client.

Mm. Trina?
Which ones did you like?

I like Tribble
the best.

- I like...
- Which one's Tribble?

Tribble is the really...

the real California
dreamy one.

- Oh, Granola.
- Yeah. Yes.

Sean Penn in
"Fast Times
at Ridgemont High."

I like Jessica,
the real tall girl.

What happened
with the one guy,
the ponytail dude?

So, Sandra, who's
the bar manager
that you guys met,

she told him that he
needs to come apologize

for touching
Towanda and Traci
on their booties.

And he's not gonna
apologize to anybody...

She was like,
"Yeah, you touched them
on their booties."

And I guess, for him,
he felt like it was
inadvertent, I don't know.

And he felt like
she was talking to him
as if he were a child,

and he blew up.

Isn't he Italian?

I believe he is.

Don't they
pinch people's butts?

Listen, it's no different

from Traci Braxton
gettin' pinched on her butt
in Italy.

She called me
50-'leven times.

Did she say
which one
she was at?

- Oh, you "pinched-a"
my "ass-a."
- Awesome!

Yes, honey.
Ooh, you got pinched.
I'm so jealous!

Oh, he pinched-a
my ass-a!

We're not in Rome.
We're in America.

- I agree.
- And that's unacceptable.

Well, you're right, though.
You could have a case.

Exactly.
It's still not--
it's still not cool.

It's not kosher.
It's not okay.

But I have to
say something.

He is one of the most
intelligent people

- I've ever met.
- Ever.

He's just very well versed
in everything bartending
and alcohol and...

- He has a degree.
-Yes.

Even though Michael's
a talented mixologist,

his big blowup at the end
is very hard to excuse.

How can I be sure
he won't explode again

at Bar Chix?

I have enough
to worry about.

I feel like
we're right here,
we're on the cusp.

We're in those
couple of days.
We're ready to open.

Yay!

- I'm excited.
- Me, too. Free drinks...

No, it's just
a big milestone

- to open up
a restaurant.
- Yeah. A bar.

Well, it's because
of you guys that I actually
have French fries now.

Whoo-hoo!

There's no
fried chicken.

I don't understand why
she don't have chicken wings
on her menu.

Like, come on,
everybody wants chicken wings,

and they gotta keep
telling everybody this.

I had some liquor last night
and chicken wings, mm-kay?

That was the first question.
"You got chicken wings?"

Okay, it's gonna
work for me.

- I do have chicken,
just not--
- Skewers?

No, they're loll-- it's
curry lollipop chicken...

Oh, it's Jamaican
Indian style.

It's not
Jamaican Indian!

- It's not
Jamaican nothing.
- It is!

Are you crazy?

I love "carry."
"Carry" doesn't make me--

Curry.

Wow.

Not "carry."
Curry.

Toni Braxton,
you love Keri, huh?

It's okay. You can
always and forever love

your baby daddy
and your ex-husband.

It's okay.

In Baltimore,
we say "carry" for curry.

It's like a dialect thing.

We all know that
you love Keri.

I mean curry.

Well, I'm sticking
to my story.

- What you
thinking about?
- No!

If Trina can say "hoose,"
I can say "carry."

Mm-mm. Mm-mm.

That ain't what
you said, though.

Hello?

I've been waiting
for this call for hours.

Jacent has been dealing with
getting our last few permits,

and now we
should be able to open

in the next couple of days.

And I can't wait

to share the news
with my sisters.

Hey, I'm all right.
What about you?

Well, why not?

Why not?

What happened now?

Great, thanks.

I appreciated it.
All right.

All right.

- Well, okay.
- What-- what--

what permits?
What do you need?

I don't know
what that means.

That means that she's
gonna have to wait
a little longer

because her permits
haven't come in
to clear just yet.

- Wait longer
for what?
- To open.

- Oh.
- Tri.

I'm so tired
of the pushbacks
and stuff.

This is driving me--
it's driving me
so batty.

I'm stressed,
because every day
Bar Chix is not open

is the sound of money
going down the drain.

Uh, my money, by the way.

Well, let's look
at the bright side
of it all.

At least you have
a little more time

to train your bar chicks
and bar boys.

Yeah, that's true,
Towanda.

And maybe a little longer
to get some chicken.

I'm not
having chicken.

Let's go get
some wings, though.

- Yes, Toni.
Lemon pepper.
- Lemon pepper.

- Fried,
not baked.
- Yes.

Or boiled.

With some blue cheese dip!

Well, I like this look.

It's like I just got
right out of the shower.

Yes, kind of.

So, is this high fashion, Kim?

-This is
very high fashion.
-Is it really?

- Very high fashion.
- Like Parisian high fashion?

Like beyond Parisian.
It's like Fashion Week
high fashion.

I think black
is too harsh for me.

- I wanna go back blonde.
- I like the contrast.

- You do?
- Yeah.

So, I'm having
a photo shoot today

for my album

and some publicity pictures
that I'm gonna use

for this album cycle.

And the general feel
for this album,

"Calling all Lovers,"

is, you know,
kind of a throwback 1930 vibe,

but it could be in 2015.

I feel like
I look like Toni Braxton.

Mm-hmm. Back in the
"Breathe Again" days.

- Well, you got the same
mama and daddy, so...
- Yep.

Knock-knock.
Knock-knock.

Hey, Tay.

Hi, hey.

Hi, Toni Braxton.

- Hey, Tay.
- Hi, Ashlee, mwah.

Oh, you went black.
Black is cute.

Well, just for this--
you like that?

I like the black.

I am on my way
to Atlanta,

but I wanted to
stop by Tamar's shoot

to show her some love.

I'm starting
a new project in Atlanta,

and it's a bit
of a secret at the moment,

but I wanted all the sisters
to be involved.

I have a few more details
to work out

before I can share
the news with anyone,

and I can't wait.

Do I look like Pat Benatar?

- No.
- No.

- A little bit.
- No, you don't look
like Pat Benatar.

You look real skinty.

- Toni.
- Hey.

- Hey, Rob!
- Good to see you.

So you know the famous
Robert Ector, honey?

Of course I do.
He did one of our shoots.

Yes. Your hair looks good.
It looks really good.

- It don't give me
too 1980?
- No, that's hot.

The wet,
it's giving me
a little wet,

but that's really good.
I love it.

- Yeah, it's kinda cute.
I do like it.
- That's hot.

- Bye.
- That's hot, Tamar.
It looks good.

We're gonna finish.
Thanks, hon,
for stopping by.

Okay, I'm ready.
You can call Kim back in.

- Love you!
- All right, Toni.
Have a good day.

So, Toni's flying
to Atlanta tonight,

and I'm so glad
that her and Ashlee

could stop by briefly
to my shoot.

But now, honey,
they gots to go,

because I have
to go over my game plan

with my team
and summon my inner Tyra

so I can slay
this photo shoot, honey.

But I'm looking
at the clothes,

and there's this lingerie
and it's very risqué.

And I'm scared.

It's real "Apollonia,"
though.

I'm too saved
for this outfit.

- Oh, man,
that's pretty.
- Is it?

Yes, super hot.

- You said you're
too safe?
- I'm too safe,

but I really do
feel like Apollonia.

Everybody know, like,
that funny, outgoing Tamar.

But Tamar got a softer,
shy, sexy side to her...

- She ain't got this side.
- ...that the world needs
to know.

- Yes, she does.
- Yes, she does.

You may not
show her a lot,
but she's there.

I want people to know
this side, though.

I done gave
this side up
12 years ago.

Turn around straight
towards me, Tamar.

Okay, but my ass
is still out
the whole thing.

That's hot.

I ain't got time for that.
I ain't goin' to hell
for this coat.

Coming up on
"Braxton Family Values"...

Okay, so what
can you do with that?

'Cause I look like
a trash bag.

This is like
a lot of stuff.

Are you gonna nitpick
every single thing?

Yes, I'm gonna nitpick
every single thing.

'Cause I'm gonna
end up going off.

Turn around straight
towards me, Tamar.

Okay, but my ass
is still out,
the whole thing.

That's hot.

I ain't got time for that.
I ain't going to hell
for this coat.

I mean,
I'm super-uber nervous

because the clothes,
they're barely there.

Like, they're, like,
underwear and stuff.

- I mean I'm showing a lot.
- No, no. You gonna put it back
up, just put it on this side.

- Lies.
- Well, way. Sorry.

Lies. That way.

- Can we get, like, just this?
- No, it's just all ass
and teeth.

Just a little silhouette,
like from the front where
you can see skin like that.

I ain't got no song
that would warrant
this outfit, anyway.

This is ridiculous.
Y'all are unsaved.

She is such a lady.
I love it.

I see,
and I'm-- I'm sorry.

Back towards me.

I wanna get
a little movement
with that jacket.

All right, we got it.
We good.

I mean this Dalmatian coat

and my ass
hanging out a little bit

is not something I want to spend
a lot of time shooting today.

Like, we only have time
for, like, two more looks,

so we better hustle, kids,

and make this count.

It-- this little aluminum
foil coat, honey...

This is a paper plate, honey.
You hear what I said?

- Am I the Tin Man or no?
- Over here, Tamar.

Oh. Oh, well.

I wanna do it
a couple of ways.

I wanna open,
like, do the collar,
open it up,

and then maybe
a little leg
or something.

Right.

You're not opening up
this coat.

We done showed
enough T & A, okay?

We left nothing
to the imagination.

I'm gonna Taymartian,"
for real... literally.

I can't move, Rob.

All right. Okay,
so what can you do
in that?

Couple more.

I say we stop trying
to make fetch happen...

and let it go,

'cause I look
like a trash bag.

Like, for real.

God bless y'all,
good night.

You good.
Go ahead, Tee-Tee.

Oh, I love Law.

But I feel like
Judy Jetson.

The mother,

Jane,
which is worse.

She old.

I've never wore a "lingerette"
like that in my life.

You had my entire
birth canal exposed.

How many more dresses
we gonna do?

- We only
have this, right?
- Yes.

So we gotta get on it.

Come on, let's go.

- Does my dress
look too small?
- No, it's pretty.

A little bit?
It feels too small.

Now, this look is
the last chance

to get my album cover.

I mean there's absolutely
no time to waste.

And my last look
is this dope, iconic,

amazing mermaid dress

that I cannot breathe in,
which I actually love.

I feel super skinny,
I feel like I haven't eaten

in like seven to ten days,
and I can't walk in it.

And I'm feeling
really Kate Moss right now.

I'm hungry, though.

All right, can she
lay in that dress, Law?

- Yeah.
- Okay. You say no?

Do you want me
to get your feet?

- All right,
are you good?
- Hallelujah.

No, all the way down.
Now you're still
sitting up a little bit.

- I don't know if she
gonna be able to do that.
- Oh. Not at all?

- Not at all.
- You can't--
you can't do like this?

- No.
- No?

Walk?!

Okay, so we
standing up here.

Now, okay,
this is funny--.

- And she's up.
- And you up.

My team is so amazing.

Everybody thinks, you know,
doing these photo shoots

is like all fun
and games, honey,

but that's hard work.

It really does
take a village.

Lean that shoulder
into the wall.
That looks so good.

Beautiful.

Now looking
at the camera.

Love that.

All right.
We got that.

Okay.

Anytime y'all wanna
come here and help me.

Don't y'all worry about it.
Don't you move one muscle.

I ain't got nothin'
else to do today.

You got-- I ain't
late, am I?

No, I'm talking about
this one right here, especially.

- May I see 'em?
- Yes.

- That's pretty.
-I think
this is the shot.

- Vince, Come here.
- Beautiful.

Extra, extra,
front-page news.

Oh, come look
at this.

That's good.

- Fantastic or good?
- Fantastic.

Now, all day I've been worried
about getting the perfect photo

to represent my album
the way I need it to.

And now that I'm seeing
these shots, honey,

I think we got it.

I mean, I would breathe
a huge sigh of relief right now.

But I can't breathe
in this damn dress.

- It's a wrap!
- Yay!

Hey.

- Hey, how you doin'?
- Doin' pretty good,
doin' pretty good.

Toni asked Towanda and I
to be her doo-wop pop-pop girls

on her upcoming
international tour
with Babyface,

and that starts
in three weeks.

And now Toni has
some other mystery project

that she hinted
she wants to get the sisters

to get involved in
on as well.

But I need my focus
to be on Bar Chix right now,

and it's hard
with so much else
always going on.

- What do you think?
- Uh...

I think
I'm looking around,

and it looks
like a lot of stuff
needs to be done still.

What's not really?

Just cosmetics.

Touch-ups here and there,
lights here and there.

It just looks like
a lot of stuff.

- You mean that stuff?
- That stuff, this stuff.

That stuff...
this stuff.

I mean,
I said stuff, like, what,
like eight times?

Yeah.

Well, ceiling stuff.

Why does that paint
look different?
Why is it pumpkiny still?

- Are you gonna
nitpick everything?
- Yes, I am gonna nitpick--

I'm gonna nitpick
every single thing.

Well, I don't wanna--
if you're gonna do that,

I don't wanna do it,
'cause I'm gonna end up
going off.

- Why would you go off?
- 'Cause I don't--

'Cause I don't do
business that way.

How's that--
doing business what way?

It's like you're just,
"this stuff, this stuff,

- that stuff, that stuff"--
- It's called "stuff."

You can't
call it everything.

Because I-- if I don't
point it out,

how are we gonna know
what needs to be--

This stuff is here because
you won't get your people
to put it in storage.

Don't make it look like
it's my fault.

Most of this is your stuff.

But I didn't say
the stuff that's in here.

I'm not talking
about those stuffs.

I'm talking about
the unfinished stuffs.

Okay. You say--
you looking at me--

you're talking to me,
there's no one else
in here.

I'm asking you
how close we are
to opening or not.

Okay, all right.

The little nitpick stuff
you don't have to worry about.

I hang, like,
pictures like that.

So that's not a worry.

What's the worry is
the plumbing permit,

because we can't
close that wall up

and we can't finish the bar
because of the plumbing.
That's important.

I can't put
none of the sinks in
because of the plumbing.

You don't have your hood
finished because the permits--

uh, the plans
were just sent in.

- I understand that.
- That's the stuff
we need to talk about.

We don't need to talk about
little light fixtures.

Well, let's talk about that.

Okay.

Bar Chix is a major move
in my life right now.

And I need to know
why things aren't getting done

and why things aren't done.

And I'm not blaming Jacent.

However,
I'm not in construction,

so I need these things
explained to me

about why this "stuff"
isn't done.

I understand
where you're coming from,

but construction's
not your thing.

It's not.

Anything permit-related
is out of my control
'cause that's the city.

That I understand.

I just don't see
how permits stop--

Okay. How the bar
is gonna get finished?

You-- you tell me.

It can't until
the plumbing inspection
is done.

I can close up the wall.

When the plumbing inspector
comes and he's gonna say

it needs to be removed
or I have to come back.

But what about
the other things
that can be done?

The lights will be put in.

See, the attitude that
you're giving me right now

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

I-I just don't.
It's like I'm not
attacking you.

- I'm not attacking you.
- I'm not saying that you are.

I think maybe
the banter here--
I think the problem is

that our focus
has been more here
than here.

Coming up on
"Braxton Family Values"...

I mean-- and everybody's
schedule is crazy and busy.

Bishop T.D. Jakes
told us that it's important
that we return to our roots.

It's just an idea
I think would be fun.

It's really tough
right now, guys.

My relationships are not
community relationships.

You-- you didn't even know
what I was gonna say.

Whatever it is,
don't say it.

The attitude that
you're giving me right now

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

I think the problem is

that our focus
has been more here
than here.

Okay... gotcha.

So, now what?

It's been called in,
and I have to wait
until the inspector shows up.

All right.

Okay.

I'll leave you to it.
Appreciate it.

All righty.

I'm leaving the bar
feeling very, very frustrated.

Not just because
the bar is not finished,

but because Jacent
thinks I'm attacking him.

I'm not attacking him,
I'm not attacking his work,

I'm just attacking the fact

that I need
for Bar Chix to open.

I can't wait to cook.

- Thank you.
- I can't wait to cook.

I was opening the door
for Mommy, y'all.

- Well, thank you.
- Thank you.

Thank you.

Move, dummy.

We're on a roll.

Tamar's in Atlanta to plan for
her upcoming music video shoot.

And Toni's also here
for some new top secret project.

And she won't
give us any hints,

but in the interim,
I've invited everyone

to a cooking class today.

And I hope that Toni
will finally tell us all

what's going on.

I'll do--
I'll do the ribs.

I'm known
for my ribs.

Desserts.
And all we need
is one volunteer for salad.

Toni makes a good salad.
That's what she do.

Yeah, me and Mommy
do the pizza.
Toni do the salad.

She's a salad girl.

I am the best chef
of the entire family,

and I get stuck
with the salad.

Like, really?
Oh, my God.

I mean, at my house,
my 12-year-old son
makes the salad

and I do
the real cooking.

This is ridiculous,
I mean-- oh, whatever.

I'll make the salad.

Mommy, what's that,
peaches of cherry?

That's dessert?

Here, watch out.
Where is the butter?

Tamar, move!

- Tamar, move.
- No, I'm talking
to Traci.

Is this the butter?

If Tamar wants to be
the boss of something,

let her be
the boss of something,

but the butter-- I don't think
the butter's gonna work.

Mom! Mommy,
tell Tamar to move!

That's your name
on the line.

You better put
some butter in there
and get your life.

And some cinnamon,

get some cinnamon
and nutmeg and butter.

Have you seen
me and Mommy's pizza?

But we gotta
eat the pizza now
or it's gonna be cold.

I'm finally ready
to tell everyone

about the new project
I'm working on.

And I can't wait to find out
if they all wanna be involved.

Guys, when I was cooking,

it made me think--
you know how I love

listening to
Christmas music
when I'm cooking?

We should do
a Christmas album.

Okay, my top secret
project

is a new album
with all of my sisters.

I love Christmas.
It's my favorite
time of the year.

And it's a time
that family is always together,

so I think that would be
a great concept for the album.

Like, wait a minute,
a "Braxtons' Family
Christmas"?

- Yeah.
-Braxtons'
Family Christmas.

That's the only way.
I just put one out
two years ago.

I put one out in 2001.
Don't matter, it's classic.

So we finally know the secret
that Toni's been working on.

Working on a Christmas album
is gonna be super hard to fit

into my already crazy
and hectic schedule.

But how are we gonna do that?
You got a different record deal,

Traci's got a different
record deal,

I got a different record deal.

Well, whoever
can do it, can do it.

I have a record deal,
but they will be flexible.

The girls and I talked
about doing an album

last season
and the season before that,

but we could never
make it happen,

but Bishop T.D. Jakes
told us that it's important

that we return to our roots,

and I think
this Christmas album

is the perfect
antidote.

You're finally
makin' fetch happen.

- Ooh.
- Traci.

Let the record show

I've always wanted to do
an album with my sisters.

It was them that
not lettin' fetch happen.

And all of a sudden,
fetch is happening.

I mean, I know everybody's
schedule is crazy and busy.

Oh, you lookin'
at me-- me, too?

- No, 'cause of
the kids.
- Oh.

I'm about to go to Africa, so we
gotta do this album fast, guys.

- We leave in three weeks.
- I know we have to leave,

but I have to open
Bar Chix before we leave.

I have to finish
my "alblum."

I have a date
that I have to
turn it in by

or it's gonna miss
its release date.

But your album
is finished.

My album
is not finished.

- Are you still
working on songs?
- We'll work in between.

You understand
how Tamar feels
about her "alblum"?

Because my date
has been pushed back
50 million times.

I'm still trying
to get Bar Chix open.

I was already stressed out

that we were leaving
in three weeks for Toni's tour,

and now I'm supposed
to cram an entire album

into those three weeks, too?

Even though I wanna do it,

I think that I'm
gonna have to think about

if I can really
get all of this done

before I commit
to actually doing the album.

This is an idea
I think would be fun.

I think it's
a great idea.

Christmas sister album?

No concerns at all.

But everybody
is booked, honey.

- I think we can do it.
- I'm really gonna try.

It's really tough
right now, guys.

- For everybody.
- For everybody.

But whoever can,
we should.

Once again Tamar
says she's not sure

if she's gonna
be able to join us
in making this album.

We've gone through this before,
twice, actually,

and I feel like
if she can't do it,

I mean we have
to still do it.

We have to
make it happen.

I mean, it would be great
if it's all of us,

but I feel like
the rest of us,
we can make it happen.

- Any more dressing?
-I feel like
you modified it.

This is not
his recipe.

Okay, I'm just gonna say--
you gonna tell her?

- No, you tell her.
- You sure?

- The salad's
not good?
- No!

Toni thinks she is
the best chef in the family,

but, no, she's not.

She's-- she's
a great singer.

Banana pudding.

- Banana...
- Extra cookies!

Banana pudding.

Say something,
Cookie Monster!

Ouch! Trini.

- Yes.
- That's a hazard,

that little rug
in the front door.

- Oh, be quiet.
- I almost tripped.

I hope you have
renter's insurance.

Did you--
I hope you have the vodka
that I asked you to bring.

Of course I do.
Did you want me to put it
in a brown paper bag?

No, I did not.

- Ta-da.
- Whoo-hoo!

I invited Towanda over
to test out

my new raspberry
Moscow Mule recipe.

And after my
little disagreement
with Jacent

about Bar Chix
not being finished,

I have a lot
of stress going on,

and sometimes you just
have to vent to somebody.

And doing it
with a drink in my hand

is gonna make it
a lot easier.

Why do you need an extra pour
and I don't need an extra pour?

Um... because.

Because why?
That's not fair.

All right.
And now salud.

Oh, thank you, Jesus.

You can breathe,
you know?

That was refreshing.

I did--
maybe you need a break.

Why would-- Trina,
I didn't even drink
that much of it.

Mm-mm.
Mm-mm.

It's going to be
quite challenging

because this is the longest
that I've ever been away
from my children.

- Yes.
- And then I have
the acting stuff.

- Oh, yes. Guess what?
- It's just so much.

It's too much.
I have the bar.

- Mm-hmm.
- And...

everything
that comes with it.

And besides that,
we're still, you know,
doing everything

we need to do
the Christmas album,

and so I'm just kind of--
I don't--

I don't know what to do.

I already have enough stress
on me with the bar,

so doing
this Christmas album

is still
very questionable for me.

I can't have it
turn out like the last album
we tried to do together.

I am so overwhelmed
already.

I can't take
one more thing going wrong.

What's going on
between you and Jacent?

We had our first
real argument.

Really?

- It was over the bar.
- Of course it was.

Towanda, you know me.
I'm real, you know, chill.

But when it comes
to my business,

it has to be right,
it has to be done.

Because, first of all,
I'm losing money,

and I'm not saying
it's his fault,
but it's his fault.

Okay. You're honest.
You're being honest. Okay.

Because he's the foreman,
he's the one in control
of everything.

He's the one making sure
that everybody gets called
to come in,

you know, for inspection.
Blah, blah, blah.

And like I told him,
I said it's not
about your work.

This is about things
not being finished.

He has to understand

that you are capable
of separating business...

- Yes.
- ...from your personal.

- I so am.
- And if it were
anybody else,

you'd be saying
the same thing
to the individual.

Or worse, actually.

Yeah, it would--
well, it would've
been worse.

His skin need
to be tougher.

And then he's talking about
he wants to go and have dinner.

- After the argument?
- Yes.

I'm a little leery about it.

Why? He may want
you to go to dinner

because he want
to apologize
or something.

- Yeah, that's true.
- You just never know.

That's true.

How did he ask you
to go to dinner?

How did he do it?

I mean, it was just,
you know...

"Can we go to dinner?
There's something
I'd like to give you."

Coming up on
"Braxton Family Values"...

So, we gotta get
this video done,

'cause the album comes out
right after that.

The closer I get
to being done with my album,

the more nervous I get.

This is a moment where
I wish all of your sisters

were here right
God daggone now.

- If he said he wanted
to give you something--
- No, uh-uh. No, no, no.

And then I'm gonna
stop you right there.

Jacent better not be thinking
about proposing to Trina

because it's way too early.

I'd

I'd like

I'd like to

I'd like to see

I'd like to see
how

I'd like to see
how this

I'd like to see
how this tastes

if I put a little bit
of regular vodka in to cut it.

- Why would you want to cut it?
- Cut the raspberry flavor.

Why would you want
to do that, though?

That's the whole purpose
of having a raspberry--

It is, but I just want
to see if you add

just a little bit
of regular vodka in there,

just to kinda thin that
raspberry flavor out

just a little...

Oh, it's so good.

- It's delicious.
- No, it's not.

Okay, try it.

I'm just good
at what I do.

- Well, yes, you are.
- Go ahead.

Mm. Let me see.

I like mine
to be a little strong.

Did you stir it enough?
Did you put the lime in it?

Girl, that was strong!

Whoo!

How did he ask you
to go to dinner?

How did he do it?

"Can we go to dinner?
There's something
I'd like to give you."

Daddy recently
met with Jacent.

Now, I don't know
what they talked about exactly,

but it sounds
pretty serious to me.

Jacent better not
be thinking about proposing

to Trina at dinner
because it's way too early.

And clearly Trina's
not ready for that yet.

I don't know what to do,
so I'm not saying anything.

I'm just gonna support her
and that's it.

This is a moment where
I wish all of your sisters

were here right
God daggone now,

because you know what
all your sisters would say?

- If he said he wanted
to give you something--
- No, uh-uh. No, no, no.

And then I'm gonna
stop you right there.

I do not have
a community relationship.

My relationships are not
community relationships.

- Girl--
- No, wait.
I'm gonna say this.

All my relationships
have been

family communal
relationships.

This one is not one.

Uh-uh!

I'm super fed up
with the way that my sisters

always gave unsolicited
opinions and advice

about my marriage with Gabe.

And I definitely
don't want that to happen,

especially so early
in a relationship with Jacent.

You-- you didn't even know
what I gonna say.

Whatever it is,
don't say it.

You can't--
how can you
just cut me off?

It felt a certain way.

It wasn't something bad,
it was something good.

I was gonna say I wish that
your other sisters were here

because they would sit here
and confirm the fact

that you should
go to dinner to see
what he wants to give you.

- Oh.
- It could
be a gift.

You see how you jump?

It's rationalization.

Oh, my gosh.
No, it wasn't.

I don't know
what's gonna happen
at this dinner.

He might give me a gift

or he might give me
more bad news about the bar.

All I know is I'm gonna have
butterflies in my stomach

until I find out everything.

You call it rationalization,
then it's rationalization, girl.

- It is.
- Amen, girl.

Amen to you
getting a gift,
to dinner.

Mm-mm-mm.

Don't you wanna
open the door
for the lady?

- Thank you.
- You got it.

- Yeow.
- Zino!

- What's goin' on?
-Yes.

Since my album
is coming out soon,

it's super important for me
to slay this video, okay?

Get everybody excited.

So we're meeting
with my team

to talk about
the whole plan, honey.

We want
the Zino special.

That's what I got
you, the combo.

Yeah, 'cause everybody
gettin' their life.
Good God.

It's called
the "Crab-Tastic" combo.

That's it.
This is gonna be good.

Well, please, sit down,
you know?

Have a seat
and the food
will be right out.

- Okay.
-Thank you.

The closer I get
to being done with my album,

the more nervous I get
to putting it out,

because I want people
to definitely love the music

and understand it
the way that I do.

Have y'all talked
about your video?

Well, I want to be
frolicking in the sand.

Frolicking.

Frolicking?

I'm gonna dance,
but by myself.

Not that hard
of a eight-count.

Oh, my God,
that was fast!

- Enjoy.
- So which one
is Zino's life?

This is the special
right here.
This is Zino's life.

And that's
the lemon garlic butter.

- Mm!
- So enjoy.

Okay.
Dig in, kids.

Oh, yeah,
what I was sayin'

is I wanna show, like,
you know, both sides of me.

Like, you know,
the-- the cute, innocent side,

which is the angel side.

And I don't wanna
say the demon side,

'cause there's no demon
in this body here.

But more like the,
you know, not so...

yeah, the troublemakin'.

Right.

We do need to
start a storyboarding,

because I feel like
when we do a storyboard,

especially with a video,
you get all the looks

that you--
that you wanna get.

The rate that
we've been going,

we definitely started off
on a great, great foot.

But it's time
to amplify and take it
to the next level.

And if we don't do it,
shame on us.

Yeah. And you
got the right songs
to do it with.

Wait a second.

They really are good.

I can't put them down.
They're so good.

- So what do you think?
- Oh, my God, it's so good.

These are probably
about the best crab legs
I've ever had.

Wow, that's big.

How long did it take you
to open up this spot?

Mm. Oh, about
almost a month.

- I mean, it was just--
- A month?

I got this idea.
Tell me what you think,

for my T-shirt, okay?

But only girls can wear it,

but maybe not only girls
can wear it.

You know, maybe not.

It's gonna say
"I got crabs
from Benzino."

I don't-- aah!

Or "Benzino
gave me crabs."

- It's kinda catchy.
- Yeah, well, catchy
it is.

Let me go back
and-- and rethink
that one.

Yeah, rethink that one.

You all right?

You didn't get crabs
from Benzino, did you?

I can't believe
it only took him 30 days
to open up this spot.

I kinda want Trina
to come here and holler
at Zino.

I mean, hers is a little
different because it's a bar,

but maybe he
has some pointers,

especially if he opened
his place...

- In 30 days.
- ...in 30 days?

- Yeah.
- Hell, we can't
do a record in 30 days.

I'm about to do
this Christmas record.

Yeah. That'd
be good for y'all.

I would love to do
a Christmas album
with my sisters.

But last time
me and my sisters

decided that we
was gonna do an album,

it kinda never
happened, right?

And at the end of the day,

I don't wanna
start no album

and not be able
to finish it.

So we gotta
get this video done

because the album
comes out right
after that.

I feel good
about everything.

Okay, I gotta go.
I gotta stop eatin'.

I got a big two weeks
coming up.

Dear God,
please let this be
the last leg...

that I eat.

And don't let
that cute little boy

bring no more food
over here. Amen.

- What y'all got
for dessert?
- What?!

Coming up on
"Braxton Family Values"...

You said to me
we're not just here
about business.

So what else
are we here about?

You know,
definitely discuss
me and you.

What about us?

-This is cute.
- You like the door?

Yeah, I do.
I like the woodwork
on the top, too.

- Thank you.
- You're welcome.

Jacent asked me
out to dinner tonight

and I think he
wants to talk about

what happened the other day
at the bar.

But he was being
pretty mysterious
over the phone.

- Were you
at the bar today?
- I was.

- How's that progressing?
- It's moving along.

So, what did you think

about our
little "business spat"
the other day?

Um...

I don't know.

I felt some type of way.

Your demeanor was not
what I'm used to.

At that time,
it was business mode,

and then when I
got in business mode,

everything wasn't
the way I envisioned

that it would be
at that time.

And I feel like
I don't have control
over it,

and I don't like that.

Okay.

I mean,
I take ownership
for some of it.

'Cause the people I hire
to come in and do the work,

you know, I could make them
go a little faster,

but with making
them go faster,
the quality goes down

and quality
is number one to me.

My apologies.

What are-- what are
you apologizing for?

'Cause I should've
handled myself, you know,

business, you know,
business manner.

I let our personal...
get in the way.

I'm glad that Jacent
finally apologized

and understands why
I was so frustrated.

And it actually says a lot
about our relationship

and that he's man enough
to admit when he's at fault.

Now I still wish
the bar was done,

but I'm glad
that little personal spat

seems to be behind us.

You said to me
we're not just here
about business.

So what else
are we here about?

You know,
definitely discuss
me and you.

What about us?

You know, we had
our little spat.

I'm not sure where
your mind state was at.

To make sure--
to make sure
that we're good.

I mean,
even in our short time
in dating each other,

it was our first real spat
about anything,

whether it was the bar
or-- or anything else.

So it was--
it was kind of unnerving.

And it just
kinda jolted me
a little bit

'cause I'm like, okay
how's this gonna work?

- Mm-hmm.
- You know, with us
doing business like this

and being
in a relationship.

Because it's like
do I say everything
I feel like saying?

Or do I not
say everything
I feel like saying

- because of
the relationship aspect?
- Yeah.

You know, so I can tell
that you want to say
a lot more to me.

So...

Here's your cocktail, ma'am.

- Thank you.
- Is there anything else

I can get for you guys
at the moment?

Uh, yes, the package
I left with you.

- Absolutely, sir.
- All righty, thank you.

You left something
with the server?

I did.

I'm thinking
what is this package

Jace is asking for?

Is it a gift to make up
for how he acted before?

I mean, there are two things
that make up for everything--

an apology and jewelry.

Here's the package
you requested, sir.

- Thank you.
- Thank you.

I just want to tell you
a little something
before I give it to you.

It's been a while
since we met,

and I came in your life
to do the bar.

- Mm-hmm.
- And, uh...

I found something
a lot more important

that I didn't know
that I actually needed
in my life.

- Mm-kay.
- I hope you like it.

Just for you.

Are you sure
you're ready?

Jacent's been
all mysterious,

and he gives me
this tiny box

and asks me if I'm sure
I'm ready to open it.

And I'm thinking,
ready to open it?

Uh-uh. My heart
is racing super fast.
