[upbeat music]

[Malik] Alright, look, yeah,
just keep me updated, okay?

Yeah.

Hey, thank you,
I really appreciate it.

How's it going?

Uh, well, it's going.

Well, you see, Malik
has turned our living room

into Glo's campaign office.

Yeah, I know,
and I'm sorry about that.

Don't worry,
it'll all be over soon, okay?

Finally, the big day.

Yeah, we are really,
really proud of you.

Oh, well, thank you.

Yeah, man.

So, uh, Mr. Campaign Manager,
you're gonna be big, Son.

Look, slow your roll, all right?

Look, this is my first time,

and I want to win before
y'all start showering me

with praise and adoration, okay?

Oh, no, you deserve all
the praise and adoration, love.

Oh, no, Mom,
not until it's over, okay?

Nope, I'm your mom.

So you get all the praise
I want to give you.

Okay, okay.

And I'm your father.
What she says.

Yes.

Well, look, I just hope
I made all the right calls.

Look, I know you worked
on campaigns before,

but this is your first time
being the campaign manager,

so it can only go up from here.

You're right.

-Hey, hey!
-[CJ] Hey!

-It's the big day?
-It is!

We just voted!

Were a lot of people
out there?

Actually it was kind of empty.

Okay, well,
it's still early, all right?

I just hope we win, all right?

Oh, I have no doubt you'll win.

And what makes you so sure,
Uncle Curtis?

Because my nephew
is the campaign manager.

There you go.

Malik, Glo cannot stop talking

about how much you've done
to help her campaign.

She's just chatty,
chatty, chatty.

Well, I'm just appreciative
that she's even trusting me.

[knocking on door]

Councilman, come on in.

-Oh, hey everyone.
-Hey.

Councilman Dustman, you remember
my auntie Ella and uncle Curtis.

I do! Good to see everybody.

So how is it going?

Coming by to ask you that
question, Mr. Campaign Manager?

Well, so far, so good.

What you're doing today?

Well,
all the heavy lifting is done

and people already are voting.

Yep, now it's just
a waiting game.

And that's the hardest part.

I'm so glad
I came by here today.

Do you want a word of advice?

I mean, I've taken all
your advice throughout

this whole process,
and Jesus knows it's been a lot,

but I don't mind
about hearing some more.

Well, we appreciate you
mentoring Malik,

and Janine and I are
very grateful.

Yes.

It's been my pleasure.

Well, if you all
would stop yapping,

I think the councilman
has more advice.

-I do.
-Well, I'm all ears.

Get your butt
out of this house.

-Oh.
-Oh.

Local elections like this
are won the day of!

That's true.

You and the staff should be
going door to door.

You have to get the vote out.

And Glo should be stationed

near the fire station
saying hello to everyone.

This campaign is not over.

While you're in here, Elizabeth
Wellington is out there working.

What is that noise?

Excuse me.

[Elizabeth on PA]
It's time for a change.

Glo got to go.

Get down to the fire station

and vote for
Elizabeth Wellington

if you want things
to be well again.

Vote for Elizabeth Wellington.

If you need a ride,
come on this side.

Get off your couch.

We'll take you to the firehouse
because Glo got to go.

-That didn't even rhyme.
-Tacky.

See what I told you?

[tense music]

[birds chirping]

[airplane flying
overhead]

[car alarm blaring,
horn honking]

[sirens wailing]

[helicopter blades
whirring]

[music]

Uh, Malik, I think
the councilman has a point.

Well, of course
he has a point, baby.

Every vote counts.

Especially in a small,
local election like this.

This campaign can be decided
by just a handful of votes.

That's right.

Handful meaning four
or five votes?

In a community election
like this, absolutely.

Well, you know what?
Don't worry.

I'm going to get to work.

And just so you know,

I haven't just been
sitting around all day.

Oh, I know that, Malik.

I see how hard you work.

Yeah, I mean, I was even up late
last night putting out signs

in yards all around
the neighborhood.

That's good, Malik.

I'm proud of you, nephew.

-Thank you.
-I didn't see any signs.

-Hey.
-Hey.

Wait a minute.
Where'd you get those?

I went to vote

and I went to throw away
Malisa's diapers.

And then I found all
of Glo's campaign yard signs

in the trash.

-Wait, they were in the trash?
-[Lisa] In the trash.

Politics is a dirty game,
I'm afraid.

Anyway, I have to go.

Good luck, Malik.

Hey, thank you for everything,
Councilman.

Hey, goodbye, everyone.

-[Janine] Alright, Councilman.
-[CJ] Thank you.

Bye.

Well, Malik, looks like
we all getting to work.

You took the words
right out of my mouth.

But what do we do?

Um, you know what?

We can start by going
door to door.

That way we can start talking
to all the neighbors.

-I like it.
-Yeah, yeah.

And, Malisa likes being out
in the air, so...

-I'm down.
-Oh, that's good.

The baby'll get more votes.

Uh, Malik, there you are!

Hey, what's going on?

Well, I thought you were going

to put yard signs
around the neighborhood.

I did.

Well, I only see signs
for Elizabeth Wellington!

That's because Elizabeth
Wellington was following Malik

and threw all
your signs away.

-Yeah.
-What?

Lisa went to the firehouse

and saw all of your signs
in the dumpster.

-That bi--
-Oh!

That--oh...sorry,
Mother Ella, sorry.

Look. All right, we're all
on the campaign trail now,

All right?
This is not over.

Okay. Where should I go?

Look, you should start
by going to the firehouse,

and you can start talking
to all the neighbors.

We're going to go door to door
and start talking to people,

and then we're going
to send it to you.

-Yeah.
-Sounds like we got a plan.

-Yeah.
-Okay.

-Let's get to it, y'all.
-All right.

[upbeat music]

All right,
this is the last of it.

-Oh, Dad.
-Oh, Dad.

Mine don't need to be folded.

-You trifling.
-No, you trifling.

Hey, hey, hey, stop it.

Don't call
your brother trifling.

I can just throw mine
in the drawer, Dad.

Now that's trifling.

But no, you can't.

Fold your clothes.

I hate doing the laundry.

Well, get used to it.

If you want clean clothes,
then you got to do laundry.

[knocking on door]

Christian,
will you get that?

-Mama!
-Hey, baby.

Good to see you.

Hey, Mama Miranda.

Hello, handsome.

-Hey, Miranda.
-Hey.

Oh, what do we have here?

-Is it laundry day, guys?
-You guessed it.

Well, I'm so happy to see Junior
folding his own clothes.

Just like pulling teeth.

Christian, Junior,
go in your room

and finish folding your clothes.

-Yes, sir.
-Yes, sir.

And put them away when
you're done with them, Junior.

Here I am.

Yeah, okay.

I don't know
what I'm going to do with him.

You are doing a great job
with Calvin Junior.

I'm so proud of you.

Your patience
is growing exponentially.

Hey, I had to learn patience
with that one.

Oh, so what's going on?

I just came to grab Christian.

Nothing, just wanted to talk.

Uh-oh, what's wrong?

Nothing's wrong.

Calvin Payne,
anytime you want to talk,

there's something wrong.

Well, nothing's wrong.

I haven't seen or talked
to you in a while.

You've been busy lately.

Yeah, you know,
between work and Christian.

Miranda, you've always
had work and Christian.

I feel like something else
is keeping you busy.

Well, life's just been lifin'.

Yeah, well, I feel that.

So, Calvin, what is it that
you really want to talk about?

What?

You are clearly fishing
and going all around

what you really want to say.

So, what is it?

I don't know.

I guess,
I've been wondering...

have you been dating?

Why are you interested
in what I'm doing?

Now, if it's not my place,
then I'm...

Okay, listen, Calvin,

if and when I decide
to date someone seriously,

I will let you know.

I'm not going to have
anyone around Christian

until the three of us sit down
and talk about it first, okay?

I know that.

And I thank you for that.

-We good?
-Yeah.

Yeah, even though I don't feel
like you answered my question.

Christian,
come say bye to Daddy.

-Wow.
-Yeah.

[chuckles]

-Bye, Dad.
-Bye, Son.

Come on, big boy.

-Bye, Calvin.
-Bye, y'all have fun.

All right, you first, sir.

Let's go.

Junior, come get this laundry.

[upbeat music]

Listen, I sure enough
got my steps in today!

My goodness,
I haven't walked that much

since I can't even
remember when.

But I had fun, though.

You know what?
You two know so many people.

You know, baby,

I was surprised at
how many people we didn't know.

Curtis, I was thinking
the same thing.

Yeah, where did all these
white folk come from?

Curtis!

The neighborhood is changing.

Changing? Correction.

The neighborhood has changed.

-Uh.
-Hey there, family!

Councilman Dustman,
come on in!

Have a seat!

-Thank you.
-And the campaign manager.

[Ella] That's right.

How you feeling, Glo?

I feel like I have run
a marathon.

[laughs]

Welcome to politics.

Well, look, I'm just glad

that we all got out there
and worked.

I feel like we really made
a difference.

I'm sure we did.

I spoke to a lot of people
who weren't even going to vote.

Oh, hold on.

I just got a text
that the H-O-A is about to be

on a local station
with the first results.

-That's right, that's right.
-Uh!

[laughs]

Oh, shu-shu-shu.

All right.

[Reporter]And our first batch
of votes are in.

Gloria Higginbottom
with 36% of the vote.

Elizabeth Wellington with 64%
of the vote.

Elizabeth Wellington
with a clear lead at this hour

with 30% of the vote in.

[melancholy music]

[Ella] It's okay.

It's okay.

[laid-back music]

Oh, come on.

I can't believe people didn't
see past that witch's lies.

No, no, no, no,
calm down.

These are the early votes.

She had her apparatus up
before you.

They're starting today's votes
right now.

That's true.

We've got to stay positive.

That is the most important thing
you can do.

Positive energy,
positive thoughts.

And prayer.

And we know
how to do that, Glo.

-That a good idea, good idea.
-[Ella] Yes.

Yeah, we all know
you know how to do it.

Ain't that what got us
in this mess in the first place?

Curtis.

Y'all praying in the house
with singing loud,

singing and the hoopin'
and the hollarin' and all that?

Don't do that.

Baby, it's against the bylaws
for y'all to have anything

in the house like that.

Curtis, I don't care
about the H-O-A bylaws.

This is a house of prayer.

-Amen to that.
-Amen.

And Elizabeth Wellington
is wrong on that.

You can have a group of friends
over to pray.

Hey!

That is well within
the jurisdictional laws

and guidelines for this area.

Hallelujah.

Councilman,
you're not helping.

Hey, Uncle Curtis.
What's up, Auntie?

-Hey, baby.
-Hey, Councilman.

Hey there.

Anyway, I better get going.

Hey, you folks stay positive.

-Thank you.
-All right.

Thank you for everything.

Thanks for everything,
Councilman.

My pleasure, Malik.

Hey, I was looking for you,
big head.

What's up?

Ms. Glo, I got all of
my college friends

in the neighborhood
to vote for you.

Thank you, Jazmine.

I appreciate it,
but every vote counts.

I know that's right.
Have they counted them yet?

Unfortunately, yeah, but it's
just the early votes right now.

-Mm-hmm, mm-hmm, just the early.
-Why'd you say unfortunately?

Who's winning?

Uh...Elizabeth Wellington
is in the lead right now,

but it's early.

It's still early,
it's still early.

Don't worry,
she not gonna win.

She not gonna win!

That's a good attitude, Jazmine.

No, I mean it.

None of my friends like her.

Actually, most of
the neighborhood can't stand her

because she's reported
all of them to the police,

especially the college students.

-Oh, see, that's what I thought.
-Mm-hmm.

Well, see, it's all right.

She just started her campaign
a little bit earlier,

so she got to talk
to a bunch of people

that she didn't even know yet,

so that helped her win over
some of the neighbors.

Well, she hasn't won over
my age group.

We still rocking with you,
Ms. Glo.

Thank you.

And she was passing out
cookies.

-Yeah.
-Yeah, them Costpro cookies.

-Who wants a Costpro cookie?
-I can go get those on my own.

Yeah, they are good cookies,
though.

-Yeah, they good.
-Really good.

-Really.
-They're good.

-Focus.
-You could've bought them, too.

[laid-back music]

Hey, hey.

Hey, hey, Calvin.
What's happening, man?

What's up, CJ?

Oh, man, where the kids at?

Oh, well,
Christian's with Miranda

and Junior's at practice.

Yeah, man,
I remember those days.

Always waiting to pick up kids

from this practice
or that practice.

I feel like all I do is wait.

Yeah, listen,
it ain't about you no more.

Or your schedule,

you are the official chauffeur
and butler.

Nah, they think
I'm they butler.

I made them jokers do they own
laundry this morning.

[chuckles] There you go.

What's all this?

Well, my living room
has officially been turned

into Malik and Ms. Glo's
campaign office.

Oh, yeah? When is it?

It's today.

They're all over at Aunt Ella's
and Uncle Curtis' watching.

-Well, I hope she wins.
-Yeah, me too.

Malik is the campaign manager.

Really? That's great.

Malik's been doing
his thing lately.

Yeah, yeah, he has.

He really has.

So what's going on with you?

Oh, not much.

No? Okay.

Hey, but I got
a question for you.

There it is,
I knew it was something.

Has Janine mentioned
anything about Miranda?

Anything like what?

Like, if she's seeing somebody.

What's making you ask that?

I don't know.

I mean, she's been busy
or distracted.

Well, uh, Calvin,

I've been sworn to secrecy.

So you know something?

I know a little something.

-She got a dude?
-She does.

What? Who?

His name is Jevontay.

Jevontay?

That sound hood.

-[chuckles]
-Have you seen him?

I have.

You've met him?

I have, yeah.

She brought him by
the other day to meet Janine.

The hell?

Miranda just told me
she would let me know

if she got serious
with someone.

Well, I don't know
if she's serious with him,

but she did seem happy, though.

Like, happy?

Yeah, she did seem happy.

And her and Janine
are very excited.

Huh.

What'd he do?

Uh, she said he was a coach,

assistant coach down
at the college.

He seemed like
a nice enough guy.

Ooh.

-Hey, Dad.
-Hey.

Glo and Elizabeth Wellington
are tied.

-Oh, so it's gonna be close.
-Yeah.

-Yeah.
-Oh, what's up, Cuz?

Why you looking like somebody
stole your cornbread?

I, uh, I just told Cal
about Jevontay.

Oh...

You know about
Jevontay, too?

Yeah, yeah, yeah, I met him.

Really big, strong,
muscular dude.

Uh, yeah,
athletically built.

You know, some will say,
um, he's super-good looking.

Others will probably say

he could be
a damn supermodel, yeah.

Malik, that's enough.

Oh, oh, oh, oh, my bad.

I'm sorry, Cuz.

It's all right.

We all know that Miranda likes
smaller guys like you.

Hey, you know what?

Look at the time, I gotta go
get Junior from practice.

I'll see y'all.

Cal, you okay?

Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah,
I'm good.

You don't look good, bro.

I'm gonna go pick him up
and work out.

-I'll see y'all.
-All right, man.

You know, Malik, you can
definitely be a a-hole sometime.

What'd I do?

Look, I keep it real, all right?

Y'all gonna learn to stop
asking me questions

if you don't wanna hear
the truth.

Did you have to step all over
the poor man's heart?

We're all grown, okay?

He gonna be all right.

We gotta get back to this
campaign trail, all right?

I step on his heart,
now I'm the bad guy.

Come on!

Get his weight up.

[casual music]

Hey, everybody, they're counting
the last few votes.

I cannot stand this suspense.

-I can't stand it.
-Glo.

Calm down,
everything's gonna work out.

Curtis is right,
it's not good to freak out.

We're about to find out now.

The lead keeps switching.

Can't believe it's this close.

You know, that's how
all the elections

have been these days.

You know what?

I'm surprised y'all got this
many people to participate.

Yeah, I mean, me too,
but you know how everybody is.

They complain about everything,

and then when it's time to vote,
they stay home.

Exactly.

I mean, people gotta realize

how many people died
so we all can vote.

My friends and I were excited.

It felt really good
to exercise our right to vote.

It should've felt good.

It's a part of being
a good citizen.

That's right.

Well, we got it from you
and Uncle Curtis.

-Y'all always voted.
-Yeah.

I mean, you took us with you
to vote every election day.

-We sure did.
-That's right.

Ella and I made sure our whole
family always participated.

That's right.

Oh, wait, look,
they're about to call the race.

[Reporter]We have a winner.

Okay.

[Reporter]
With 53% of the votes,

Gloria Higginbottom will remain
the H-O-A president.

[cheering]

[screaming]

[kisses]

[cheering]

[Curtis] That's how you do that.

Thank you, Malik! Thank you!

-[Malik] We did it!
-We did it!

Whoo! Whoo!

Mr. Campaign Manager,
you have your first win.

-Yes, sir.
-I almost had a heart attack.

[overlapping voices]

Don't tell me prayer don't work!

Prayer works!

Hallelujah!

Yes, baby!

Hallelujah.

[upbeat music]

Okay, Junior, take a shower
and get cleaned up.

Wait, what are
we gonna do for dinner?

I don't know, Junior.

I just don't feel like cooking.

I don't feel like you cooking.

What you mean by that?
You don't like my cooking?

We need to get you
hitched up, Dad.

No, I'm good
on being hitched up.

Your dad's gonna hang solo
for a while.

-You wanna go get pizza?
-Yeah.

-Yeah, let's do it.
-All right.

Hey, let's watch
a scary movie after.

You love watching those movies,

and then you're scared
all night.

Man, I don't be scared.
