I quit.

So now I guess I can dedicate 100 % of my time to the salon.

Previously on, sister.

I'm sorry, but I just need you to be good.

What do you think about maybe the two of us having dinner sometime in the near

future? Dinner would be nice.

Didn't you just acquire yourself a gym? And how did you possibly know that?

You actually all been a friend of mine. So you've changed your mind about not

being interested, huh? You can take me out to dinner.

You know I'll beat your ass, boy. Keep talking. I wish you would. I wish you

would. Come over here with that.

Who is it?

It's Cresha.

Hey. Thank you.

What?

Nothing. I'm just happy to see you. Looking a little better than you did

time I saw you.

Oh. I was in a bad way.

Well, you were definitely hurting emotionally and physically.

How are you feeling today?

Emotionally or physically?

Both.

Physically, the bruises are starting to fade and I'm

less sore.

Emotionally, though, not so much.

Are you ready to talk about what happened?

Last time I wasn't very honest with you.

I know that.

Yeah.

I guess so.

That obvious, huh?

Well, I'm a trained professional.

So, you know, some people are boasting most of the time. But I have to let

clients come to terms with what they're dealing with before we can face those

challenges together.

Okay.

Okay.

Danny, what happened to you that put you into crisis like that?

You said that you were attacked and you fought him off.

Yeah, but after that.

His other memories.

Okay.

I need you to use the word.

Which memories?

Ones with Jonah?

And my boyfriend in college.

Okay.

With this most recent attack, did you know your attacker?

I did.

I do.

Yeah.

And this is someone you trusted?

Yeah. Yeah.

How do you feel about that betrayal?

Hey,

I get angry and vulnerable.

But why stupid?

None of this is your fault, okay?

So I need you to put the feelings of stupid, put them away for now, okay?

We've all trusted someone we shouldn't have.

What do you want to come out of this?

I don't think I understand the question.

Do you want him punished?

Do you want to regain a sense of power over your life?

To not feel like a victim?

I want to stop attracting men who hurt me.

I understand.

You've been the victim of domestic violence before.

Once or twice.

Yeah.

Maybe three times.

I know.

I know.

Why do I keep doing the same thing over and over?

Why do I keep trying to do the same thing?

For some reason, we tend to attract the same type of partners over and over

again until we actually heal from previous traumas.

No,

no, absolutely not.

This is not your fault.

No one deserves to be abused in any form.

No, I still have a good man who wants to love me, but I look at him.

I just wonder when it's your turn, you know?

It's time for what?

Make me feel small and helpless.

Danny, you are in charge of your life.

You're going to take your power back.

One day, one minute, one second at a time.

Listen, it's a process, okay?

To show yourself some grace, a little patience.

Do you have any threatening texts or voice messages from him?

We can take pictures of your bruises as evidence of your attack.

Oh, why would I do that? I'm not going to, please.

Why not?

One, I had consensual sex with him the night before.

Okay, I understand that, but he could have killed you.

I'm not going to the police.

Danny, this guy needs to know that there's repercussions for what he did to

You really should consider reporting this.

In a consensual sex, it does not matter, okay? He doesn't get an all -access

pass to you because of one instance of consent.

No means no, even if he was mid -penetration when you changed your mind.

She kind of let you know that my judgment was bad all around.

I'm the one that let him in here.

Tony walked in on it.

Okay.

I'm not going to the police.

Danny, I don't understand why.

No, I couldn't do it.

I'm not going to the police.

Sorry.

But why, Danny?

Danny?

Danny, hey.

I need you with me.

Here in the present.

Do not play those past traumas in a loop in your head.

I don't want to get the whole thing happen.

Danny, I need you to focus.

Okay?

Is there any other place that you can stay?

Maybe.

He's already taken my dignity. I'm not letting him take my home.

I seriously wish you would reconsider reporting this crime.

Just because he's a police officer doesn't mean he's exempt from the law.

It's me.

And you should take a moment.

Take a moment and ground yourself.

I

don't know.

Maybe this is what I deserve.

You don't believe that.

I don't know what I believe.

You do not deserve to be assaulted. Do you hear me?

I don't know, Krisha.

I've done some tough things in my life, so... No matter what you've done, this

man's mistreatment of you, it's not your punishment.

I hear you.

And I want to believe you.

But when the same shit keeps happening to me, and I'm in my

same place, In life, things just keep getting worse.

It just kind of feels like, for people like me,

it's as good as it's going to get. And if anything, it gets worse.

I need you to hear me.

You did not deserve any of the abuse that you suffered.

Did not.

Do not allow yourself to believe that this is your fault, any of it, or it's a

punishment that you've earned.

This is unhealed trauma that we will work through together.

By the time we're done, you're going to have the necessary tools to recognize

and then navigate away from these types of toxic individuals.

Anything to not feel like a shit, Meg.

Okay.

Good.

We'll work through it together.

Have you shared what you're going through with anybody else besides me?

So your friends circle? They think you're just upset about a physical

I didn't want them to know I was still dealing with the stuff from college or

even Jonah.

Danny, I know this is deeply personal, but how can

you expect them to support you in the way you need if they only have part of

truth?

Have you lost your mind?

Hey, sister.

What the hell are you doing in my closet?

I have a date.

I was just looking for something to wear.

I don't care what you have.

These are my things, and this is my closet.

Damn.

They're just clothes. My clothes, Cheyenne.

See, that's the problem with you, sister.

What's my problem, sister?

You don't act like one.

Cheyenne, get the hell out of my closet.

My closet is off limits, okay?

Whatever.

I'm gonna get my own shit soon anyway. Good for you.

What?

That's my dress.

Here.

Wow, that looks amazing.

Yeah, well, that's my vision for the gym anyways.

Any construction will just have to take place after hours so that it's least

disruptive to the business.

I hear you. And I'm thinking about adding in an area for some Pilates and

reformers. Maybe I can find some really great trainers.

That should help to boost membership, especially if I can keep the price

affordable.

You know, I think personal training is a good idea.

I can't tell you how many times I've been in that gym and I'm watching

break their damn neck.

Yeah, I know. Tell me about it.

I'm also thinking that maybe we set up a rich fuel bar booth to promote your

business. Maybe some samples of your products.

Like that.

You know, we can also promote your business. Maybe you can give people a

discount if they mention Rich Fuel by sign up.

That's a really good idea.

You know, it makes it a win -win for the both of us.

See? Great minds make good.

Everything okay?

Yeah,

I just didn't realize that we've been sitting here so long, that's all.

Yeah, it has been two hours.

Yeah, well, I have a meeting that I have to run to.

Thank you so much for looking at my ideas.

Yeah, I mean, no worries. I like where you're going with it. Just let me know

how I can help out. Thank you. I appreciate that.

You know, I would also like to introduce you to Zach Taylor. Who is that?

You know, the friend I told you that you bid out for the gym?

No.

Nah, he's really good people. He's also an investor.

And, you know, his lady Fatima, she's good people, too.

Well, you can never have enough, though.

That's... Yeah.

Well... Thank you for letting me use your place in my personal office.

No, thank you.

I'm going to send that invoice over later.

Okay. Ms. Truitt.

Good to see you again.

Likewise. Bye.

Bye.

All right. Thank you.

Got it, Ms. Truitt. Bye.

Feel like I have to meet you. Thank you.

Hey, Mom.

Hey, boo, how you doing?

I should be asking you that. Isn't this your first day of treatment?

So how are you?

Well, right now I'm okay, but it'll be a few days before the icky feelings

start. Hmm.

And Aunt Myra's there with you?

No, she's back at the house, and I'm out taking a stroll.

Want to catch some of this vitamin D while I still can.

Mommy, I'm really sorry I can't be there with you.

Andy, I never expected or wanted you to stop your life to take care of me. I am

fine.

But still, I feel like I should. How are things with you and Cheyenne going?

Do you want the truth or do you want a fairy tale?

Oh, God.

Mommy. Cheyenne has been here for less than 48 hours and she's already wreaking

havoc. You're sounding a little dramatic, Andy.

You know what?

It's just two people working out the kinks who haven't lived together for

20 years.

Here we got to show a little patience.

I'll try.

You know what? That's what I want to hear. Because in the long run, you two

have each other.

Why do you keep talking as if you aren't in the equation?

Look, I don't know what God has in store for me, but you two are sisters, so

find the common ground.

Yes, ma 'am.

I think I better get out of here before it starts getting dark and the

mosquitoes start biting.

Although, I don't think they're going to like the flavor of my blood right now.

I love you, Mommy.

I love you, too, boo.

Bye.

Oh,

yeah. Hey,

y 'all.

Hey, baby.

Hey, baby.

Wasn't expecting to see you.

Oh, no. I had a meeting earlier, and so I just wanted to, you know, stop by

before I go check on Sabrina.

Any updates?

Uh, no.

No.

Well, I went to see Ed.

All I have to do is say prepare yourself.

Yeah.

That's why I haven't been back yet. I didn't think I was strong enough.

I don't know what I would do if that was my best friend.

Adam?

Did you have a best friend?

All right, all right. What y 'all got going on in here today?

Karen, we just in here trying to figure out how we can do some upgrades in here.

Well, y 'all, Karen just did this build -out. I don't think we need that much.

You know Karen is kind of conservative.

Very conservative, and I just want it to feel like a place where every client

has a special experience.

We need to start making some money now that Maurice quit his job.

You quit?

Well, yes.

Can we?

India was in there acting like she'd run something. Don't run me.

I thought she was the district manager.

God is my manager. Okay, yes.

Mm -hmm.

Mm -hmm, mm -hmm. And she tried to write him up.

I can't tell you shit.

Welcome to the club, though. Higher Airlines was always trying to write me

for something.

Really? Two -hour lunch break, then baking in the parking lot, then leaving

early. I'm saying a bit gotta eat.

Okay. In my car.

Thanks. So.

Now that we're all unemployed, um, let's make the salon really, really

successful in the talk of Atlanta.

Mm -hmm.

Okay. Let's do it. Well, first start in Rooster Richard. Let's go, baby.

Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.

Don't leave me hanging.

Not at all.

Not at all. Let's get to anything.

Can we talk?

I thought you said I couldn't wear your shit.

Chan, I just want you to get into the habit of asking first. I don't want you

assume that it's okay.

I had nothing to wear.

I wanted a stunt.

I want you to stunt.

I like stunting.

I wanted you to call me first before digging through my thing.

You're right.

Look, this arrangement is new for me. I've lived alone for the most part.

I get it.

Now I am forced to open my home to my sister who I love, but I don't have a

close relationship with her.

That's not my fault.

You left and literally never looked back.

You're right.

I got so consumed with my own life.

And making a way, I neglected our relationship.

I'm sorry.

Yeah, well, I had a date and he's a professional and all of my clothes are a

bit... Coachy.

I know. Excuse me. Have you seen your closet?

My clothes are tasteful, darling.

If you say so.

Anyway.

Do you want the dress?

What else you got in there? Okay, don't push it. Okay, okay, okay.

Also,

I hope that you don't do anything tonight to get you locked up because I

not be available to bail you out.

I don't think you have to worry about that.

Well, in that case, who are you seeing tonight? Where's your meeting?

Someone in your office.

Please don't say Zach, because Fatima will kill both of us.

Oh, I'm not talking about him. Oh.

With his spina.

Cheyenne, don't play like that.

I'm not.

He's an attorney.

Who?

Hit him up.

I know you're lying.

Hi. Can I help you with something?

How's she doing?

She's holding her own.

Any improvement?

You can sit with her if you'd like.

Thank you.

Maybe later.

You're welcome.

So sorry I hung up on you.

So angry at myself.

So I couldn't think about or hear anyone else's problems other than my own.

And now I'm sitting here wondering, that's the last time I'll ever hear your

thoughts.

So I need you to fight.

We should be making out with Rich.

And Papa and I will breathe.

I need you to wake up.

Are you Daniela King?

Who's asking?

I'm Pauline Brown.

I'm a social worker here at Vanguard Hospital.

And I've been tasked with trying to find Miss Hollins' next of kin. I thought I

was her next of kin.

Well, on her bank paperwork, yes. What?

Unfortunately, without a medical power of attorney, you don't have any decision

-making authority for Miss Hollins' care.

So what does that mean?

It means that you'll need a court order to make medical decisions on her behalf.

I know this. comes with quite a shock.

Me being our next again was a shocking first.

I know.

In the meantime, I've taken the liberty of trying to locate Miss Hollins'

relative.

My mother left her to be raised by her grandmother.

And she's gone now.

Well... Sabrina wasn't close with anyone else, was she?

No. As it currently stands, the hospital's ethics committee will make

decisions on Ms. Hollins' behalf.

But you can apply to become her court -appointed guardian.

Okay. I'll talk to our friend who is an attorney.

Okay.

I will continue my search for Ms. Hollins' relatives as well.

Like I said, her grandmother is dead and not close with anyone else. I

understand, but I still have to follow procedure.

Short of a miracle, this is.

It'll be a long ride.

Here's my contact information, if you can think of anything.

Or if you or your attorney friends have any questions about protocol.

Thank you.

You cannot go out with Hayden.

Why? Oh, you and... No.

Okay.

Does he know you're my sister?

No. The difference doesn't make. Okay. Because he will use that against me.

Okay. Tell me how you really feel. Hayden is a creep.

Wow. I'm serious, Cheyenne. He is a snake. He's a low -life opportunist. And

this world, in every other universe, he is my enemy.

Why is he working in your office? Oh, because the partners like him and he

happens to be good at his job. But trust me, no one knows him like I do.

I'm going to go get dressed.

Cheyenne, you can't go out with him.

You think he's a snake?

Yeah, he is a snake.

Okay.

Well, I'm a snake charmer.

Cheyenne, I'm serious.

Don't do this.

Hello? Hey, I got that info for you.

All right, what is it?

When have I not?

True that.

All right, so what is it?

So there's this cat named Luther that's been running around with a little more

bread than usual.

Okay. He got the lap dance talking with one of my girls from Out of Areolas.

What? Areolas. It's a strip club on the south side. They hire women with big

areolas. Okay, get to the point.

He got the talking about he just got off a job making easy money.

He was hired to send a message, et cetera, et cetera, et cetera.

She said nobody got hurt, but the car was done.

Send me the info.

Hey.

Yeah, I got a little situation I need help with.

You with it?

Of course.

How many can you get?

That.

Yeah, Andy, I will come back to the office.

All right. Bye.

Hey, babe.

What's up?

Nothing. That was Andy. I got to go back to the office.

Yeah? Yeah.

I'll take you. Oh, no, no, no, no, babe. It's fine.

Fine. Look, it's going to be a while.

Something came up last minute for tomorrow, so I'll be good.

All right. Well, I guess I'll go get a workout again since you're running

Andy again.

It's not like that, but, yes, you get a workout in, and when you get back, I

need you to watch up for me, all right?

Yeah. Yeah, because we need to finish what we started.

Oh, for real? Mm -hmm.

Yeah. Mm -hmm. I mean, you can do a little something -something before you

paid as this.

Ah, a little something, something.

Yes, I need you to handle that. I got you. All right.

Good.

How was Hayden, though? Was he upset?

He should have seen it. As soon as he said on his death, it flopped to the

Stop playing.

No. He was, oh, my God. I wish he had a butt in his ass. That would have just

been the icing on the cake. Okay, wait.

Was he mad?

Mad? Yeah. He was big mad.

This is the best give back I've ever seen. Right.

So I need a proper do -over when I get back. Can you do that? All right.

All right.

I'll see you when I get back. All right. You be ready.

All right.

Don't threaten me with a good time.

You like those kind of things.

I do. I'm being butt naked.

My kind of day. Ain't nothing bad. I'm getting some booty.

Life is good.

Why are you calling my phone?

I was calling because Mr. Benson asked us to look into some threats against

Ms. Barnes.

Oh.

As I understand it, you were the victim of a car bombing.

That is correct.

You were fortunate to not have been killed.

I know that.

Look, we're taking this threat very seriously.

As am I, Agent Watt.

I'd rather talk to you about this in person.

Are you available this evening?

No, I'm not.

Look, it's important for us to talk about this, and I don't want to have

conversation over the phone.

Is it possible for us to meet tomorrow?

Okay, can we meet in the morning?

Of course.

I can come by your office.

No, thank you. I think we're a little burnt out on seeing the feds.

I can wear a clean shirt.

How about we meet at 9 a .m. at Rich Fuel's juice bar?

Would that work?

Yeah.

Okay. You have my numbers. It's changed.

Yes, I do, Agent Watt.

Take care of this part.

Goodbye.

What was that about?

Nothing. What do you need?

Do you have any earrings to go with this dress?

You're going to look way too pretty for Hayden tonight.

I am not giving you earrings to go on a date with the devil.

Please.

Fine. Go in my closet and get one pair.

One pair.

No diamonds.

All diamonds.

President will be here any minute.

Hey, Maurice.

Hey. How you doing here?

I left Pam at the salon. I said I was going to come and check on Sabrina

I went home.

It's hard feeling like this.

It really is.

I couldn't even go in there.

Me neither.

I tried, but it's just too hard.

I didn't believe I fell asleep.

Then this social worker came in talking about powers of attorney and court

orders. All I heard was blah, blah, blah.

I just wanted her to get out so I could be by my friend.

I know that's right.

I just want to do whatever, you know?

Not if everybody were.

I said, asked myself the same question over and over.

Seemed to me, bad stuff happens to the best people.

Sabrina was my heart shoe.

She was with me through everything.

Especially with the stuff with Alonzo.

You know, she never,

She never left my side.

She felt so bad giving him your number, didn't she?

She didn't know.

I know she did.

But that wasn't her fault, and I would always tell her, Sabrina, that's not

fault.

He was ignorant.

You know, that was ignorance and hate.

Yeah.

That was another messed up situation.

I've been trying this thing.

See if she can hear me.

Sabrina.

We here.

We here to see you.

Hey.

Now get on up.

It's time.

You hear me?

I was that loud?

Yeah.

My bad, Charlie.

Well.

I'm sure our visiting hours are over now.

It ain't gonna get us up out of here.

Can you have a drink?

That's my language.

Let's go get one.

Yeah.

You look amazing tonight.

I mean, then again, you always do.

You look quite dapper yourself.

Oh, dapper.

I think it's the highest of compliments for a gentleman.

Okay, I'll take that.

You ready to go?

Yeah.

What are we doing?

Shall we?

Yeah.

First do an awkward look.

Thank you.

Hello. Hey.

You all right?

Absolutely.

You're in here looking like a whole snack.

Thank you.

Yeah.

But, uh, what about me, though?

What about you?

How I'm looking?

I'm clean?

Yeah, I... Yeah, I... You know I'm clean.

Yeah, I'm kidding.

You look great.

Yeah. Well, thank you.

You know, I do a little something -something.

Yeah. I ain't keeping up with you, but, you know. No one does.

Oh,

thank you so much.

Thank you, thank you.

Two chance meetings and intimate encounters.

Intimate encounters.

Did I say that last part out loud?

That's my bad.

I can hope.

You barely know me.

Well, let's change that.

We need to talk, Ms. Barnes. Yes, that's why we have a meeting tomorrow morning.

Things have escalated a bit, so I thought we needed to talk now.

Next on Sisters.

I don't believe you two have been properly introduced, so... Hayden Moss,

meet Cheyenne Barnes.

Barnes? Don't you see the resemblance?

You know, this guy's been stalking me down into a little scuffle.

Scuffle? Yeah. What kind of scuffle?

A bad one.

Hey, are you okay?
