Somebody got enough balls to come to our house, then--

Then they might be bold enough to come back and do more.

Previously on Sistas .

- I just wanna get to know you. - Reginald, it’s so--

Just take some time to think about it. For me?

OK. Yeah. Yes.

She won’t talk to me and tell me what’s going on,

so my hope is that maybe she’ll talk to you.

I’ll see what I can do.

I am perfectly capable of cleaning up after myself,

and I expect you to do the same if you’re gonna be staying here.

- I can stay? - What do you want me to say?

Were you sexually assaulted?

This is a safe space. You know this.

You know what? Actually, no. No, it-- isn’t, so...

- What do you mean by that? - Nothing.

I don’t know why Tony called you.

There’s a line from Hamlet

that I think would be appropriate.

"The lady doth protest too much, methinks"

Methinks what the hell’s Shakespeare got to do with me?

It means that because you’re protesting so much,

you’re not being honest with me.

I know what it means.

If you can’t be honest with me, please be honest with yourself.

And remember, no woman ever deserves to be hit

or forced to do anything that she doesn’t want to do.

You think I don’t know that?

Danni, tell me what happened.

Were you sexually assaulted?

You know, I really appreciate you

coming to do this work on a Sunday.

Well, you know, it was the only way to squeeze you in now,

- instead of two months from now. - Well, good for me,

that way it don’t interfere with my salon business.

Yes, ma’am.

Don’t nobody wanna be getting their hair done

listening to banging and clanging.

Yes, ma’am.

Now, are you sure it’s safe for us

to tap into the water line here to get to the sink?

I doubt very seriously there’s a pipe behind that wall.

You know what? I think I need to see the blueprints first

before we go any further.

Oh, uh-uh, I ain’t got time for that.

I understand that, but if we breach in the wrong spot--

Just bust a hole in the wall and see if the pipe is there!

- That’s not how it goes. - Give me this.

Miss Pam, me and my crew

can’t be responsible for any damages that are caused

because we broke into the wrong place in the wall.

Why do you men have to complicate everything?

Look, I wouldn’t do that if I were you.

Brian, this is my salon.

Yeah, but if you bust through the sheetrock

- in the wrong spot, it could-- - Move back.

- Oh, shit! - Yep, that’s it.

I gotta go turn off the main water line.

Hurry up, child! Do something! Hurry!

I told y’all to keep track of the blueprints

- and put them in a safe place. - Go!

♪ My girls hold me down when them boys mess around ♪

♪ When my love life is a headache ♪

♪ We’re goin’ out tonight ’cause I’m lookin’ for love ♪

What’s up, everybody?

You know your girl deserves the finer things in life,

so you know I had to move into a brand-new penthouse.

Wait till you see my balcony. Wait till you see my view.

You see this bomb-ass kitchen?

Can’t nobody tell me shit about my penthouse!

- You mean my penthouse? - Oh.

- Hey, Sister. - Cheyenne, what are you doing?

I was just going live. Let all my followers know what’s up.

Mm-hmm. Mm, so cool.

- Take it down. - What? Why?

I don’t want my business all over social media.

But I don’t wanna.

This is a private residence, not the backdrop for The Chey Show.

Chey Show? I like that.

- Take it down now! - Yes, Sister.

Thank you.

- I thought you were asleep. - Oh, I was, peacefully,

and then I heard all this noise... from you.

This bitch ain’t soundproof?

Perhaps from residence to residence, Cheyenne,

- but not from room to room. - That’s too bad.

How about we just keep the noise down? Is that good?

- That’s no fun. - Mm, that’s too bad.

I see you have recovered from your exploits last night.

I’m straight. Brand new.

And what do you plan on doing while you’re here in Atlanta?

- Hmm? - For work.

I can’t claim you as a dependent on my taxes,

so I don’t plan on taking care of you.

- Wow. - Exactly.

I plan on looking starting tomorrow.

Looking at doing what, exactly?

I was a stylist back home. I had a lot of clients.

Oh, I didn’t know that. OK. That’s a good career.

You should get a lot of work if you have the skills.

I know.

- Where’s Mommy? - I don’t know.

She ran out before I could ask where she was going.

OK. Do you know what time her flight is?

Mm-mm.

OK. Well, that kind of keeps me in limbo.

I can’t make any plans.

Mama can just take a rideshare if you’re not available.

It’s no big deal.

Absolutely not. We have to see our mother off.

OK. That’s on you.

OK. I’m going to go back to my room. Quietly.

And I’m going to work on some briefs for work.

Oh, and Cheyenne?

No more lives or social media videos of my house, OK?

I’m serious.

Interrupting my privacy and the sanctity of my home

is not accepted in any shape, form, or fashion,

and is an absolute deal breaker. Are we clear?

Yes, Sister!

You don’t have to be so dramatic.

- Hey. - Hey, Doc.

- How is she? - Sleeping.

I gave her a sedative to help her relax.

She was pretty keyed up before it was all said and done.

OK.

You were right to call me.

She is definitely struggling right now.

I want to keep close eye on her.

- Did she tell you what happened? - She shared some things, yes.

- Like how she got those bruises? - Everything that we discussed

is subject to doctor-patient confidentiality.

- Look, I know that, but I’m-- - But what I can tell you is that

she’s feeling a tremendous amount of guilt for hurting you.

Anything else, she’s going to have to disclose on her own.

I understand.

Good. I have an engagement to run to,

but call me if anything comes up.

OK. Yeah, I will.

I’ll check back in in a couple of days.

- Thank you. - Yeah.

Oh my God. Pam!

- Pam, what the hell? - Hey, Maurice.

What the hell is going on here?

This little thing, it’s just a little issue with the pipe.

Girl, you didn’t tell me it was this bad!

Because I’m going to have it fixed tomorrow for business.

This man doesn’t seem to think so. Look at his face!

I was just trying to surprise y’all

and have the manicure station ready.

Pam, you cannot make these

kind of drastic decisions without consulting us.

We did talk about it.

We didn’t talk about the specifics!

Bitch, it’s raining in here!

- I was trying to surprise y’all. - Surprise?

Where are the blueprints?

- Well, see, that’s what I said. - I don’t have no blueprints.

Pam, we have to get this cleaned up

before the start of business tomorrow.

You know what?

Rome was not built in a day, but this wall will.

Rome!?

Uh, sir? Can we have this fixed?

It’s going to cost y’all quite a bit.

Pam, it’s a wading pool. Wade in the water.

- Huh? Can you swim? - Sorry.

- Hi, how are you? - John.

Good to see you.

Look at you. Thank you for coming. Come on, have a seat.

- How are you doing? - I’m OK.

Good, good, good, good.

Wow. Looking as lovely as usual.

You always know the right thing to say.

Well, you know it’s easy when I’m telling the truth.

You are too sweet.

Yeah, can I get you some coffee or something?

Um, I’ll have some hot tea with honey.

Of course you will. Hang on.

Uh, excuse me. How you doing?

Could I get some hot tea with honey for the lady?

And I would love a cup of hot coffee. Excellent. Thank you.

So, how’s Andi doing with, you know,

this unbelievable incident from yesterday, huh?

Well, um, I don’t talk about it unless she brings it up first.

You know, you and I

are no strangers to threats and intimidation,

but I have never dealt with a car bomb, have you?

Uh, no, I have not. And, I mean, an explosion.

I know that left everybody surprised.

Glad no one was hurt, though.

Well, now Andi has to deal with

the insurance company to get another car.

And she found out right before this happened

that one of her close friends was involved

in a horrible car accident, and she’s now in a coma.

Oh, wow. No. That’s too bad.

Everything is hitting her at once.

I mean, the poor thing is on tilt right now.

Oh, yeah, I bet. Yeah, it’s tough.

And I hate to leave her, but I have to head back home.

Leave? What? No. Already?

Unfortunately, yes.

OK, well, you know, we’re just starting

to get to know each other a little bit. What’s up with that?

I know, and I have enjoyed our brief time together.

Mm-hmm. And I have as well. Oh, thank you so much.

But there is, um, something that I haven’t told you.

And what is that?

I have stage two breast cancer.

Oh, Valerie. I’m sorry. I’m sorry to hear that.

- I didn’t know. - How could you?

Wow, so that’s kind of why you got to go back, huh?

Yes, for chemo.

However, the doctors say my prognosis is very good.

Oh, good. That’s great. That’s... that’s wonderful.

Well, I hate that you got to leave so soon,

but, you know, I definitely understand.

I’ll be back to visit Atlanta once I’m back on my feet.

OK. And, you know, I can always come out and visit and...

You know what?

How would you like it if you had some company on the flight back?

I can go with you.

Really? You mean, while I’m going through chemo?

Yeah.

What?

You would do that? I mean, do you want to see me

ugly and sick and losing my hair?

I wouldn’t subject anyone to the lows of a patient

- going through chemotherapy. - Valerie, come on.

Now, there’s no way you could ever possibly be ugly.

Even if you didn’t have no hair on your head.

You are just being sweet, John Keyes.

No, look. I mean, even if you had no eyebrows.

What they put in that coffee you’re drinking?

No, I’m serious, though. I’m serious.

I want to be here to support you through this, OK?

Well, I appreciate that,

but my sister’s moving in with me for a while,

and she’s going to be with me every step of the way.

All right, because--

You are a very special man, John Keyes.

Well, I am a very hungry man, Miss Valerie Barnes.

So, you see anything that you like on here?

Let’s find something.

Wow, look at that. They’ve added me to the menu.

"Hot chocolate delight."

OK, I just happen to have a sweet tooth.

Hey, what’s up, Tone?

I’m about to head out and go to the gym right now.

Yeah, man, that’s exactly what I’m calling you about.

Yo, man, why you whispering?

Because Danni’s asleep.

- Danni? - Yeah, man.

Hold up, you at Danni’s house?

Yeah, I’m at her place right now.

But, what? What? What? I thought you was done with old girl?

Look, man, something happened, all right?

- Yeah, she-- another nigga. - Nah, man, it’s something else.

You mean other than

everything that happened yesterday?

Yeah, man, whatever it is,

it’s pretty bad, and she’s not talking to me.

Oh, OK.

Look, I don’t feel right leaving her, man,

so I’m not gonna make the gym.

Uh, OK, man. Well, I guess good luck.

Look, man, I just want to make sure she’s OK, all right?

- I may be angry with her, but-- - You still love her.

Yeah.

All right, man. Yo, handle your business. Um...

Maybe I’ll go check on Sabrina instead of going to the gym.

Hey, man, let me know how she’s doing, OK?

Yeah, bet.

All right, I’ll catch you later.

All right, peace.

- Hey, babe. - What’s up?

- I like this. - What?

What you got going on here?

Just studying. It’s a lot.

- Looks like a lot. - Yeah.

- But you got it, though. - Thank you, babe.

You want me to warm you up something to eat?

- No. - What about you?

I’m just chilling. I just came back from the gym.

Went to check by and see things I could change, you know?

So you’re really serious about this?

As a heart attack, I am.

OK. Well, do you know when you’ll find out if you got it?

Tomorrow. I’m excited about it. I feel good.

There’s not a lot of bidders, so I think it should be mine.

OK. Well, that’s good.

Yo, look. Go ahead. Go back to your thing.

- You look... You look good. - Thank you.

Just know that either way, I am proud of you, all right?

I appreciate you. Go ahead. Don’t let me bother you.

All right. I’ll be up in, like, an hour.

- I like the glasses. - You like that?

Yeah. Make sure you bring those when you’re done. Yeah.

Oh, you’re serious?

I am dead serious. Super serious.

All right. I’ll be up in an hour, baby.

Yo.

Love you.

I love you, too.

- My little lawyer! - Lawyer bae.

Excuse me. Where have you been?

- Out. - I can see that.

Then why ask the obvious?

Mommy, you know what I mean.

I had a wonderful lunch with John.

- And who the hell is John? - Keyes.

Hmm. And where did you meet Mr. John Keyes?

Now, why does that matter?

- Because. - That’s not an answer.

Because you pop up in Atlanta,

and all of a sudden, you are cozy with Mr. John Keyes.

- And? - I find it weird and suspicious.

- Well, I am a woman. - I know that.

And it’s this hormone replacement therapy

my doctor got me on. I can’t help it.

Ew.

We’re just friends who enjoy having good conversation.

Mm-hmm. You’re nasty.

I just wanted to go and say goodbye to him before I left.

Hmm. Well, speaking of, what time is your flight?

I have to be at the airport by 6 p.m.

- OK. - Where’s Cheyenne at?

She was on the balcony last time I checked.

I want to thank you for giving her a second chance.

I don’t know, Mom.

Cheyenne and I are like night and day.

Well, be that as it may, you are the big sister,

and I am hoping, I’m praying,

that some of you is going to rub off on her.

We’ll see. Speaking of sisters,

when is Aunt Myra arriving to help you?

Tomorrow morning.

Good. I don’t want you going through this alone.

And I won’t be.

So I think I’d better go and finish packing.

You need some help?

No, I’m good. It’s not that much.

- OK. I love you. - I love you, boo.

Don’t be out, you think you’re grown. I don’t like it.

Child, are you kidding me? Yeah.

Don’t you forget who the mama is.

I’m the mama. And don’t you forget it.

♪ ’Cause I’m the mama ♪

Where’s Cretia?

She left while you were sleeping.

I guess what she gave me knocked me out,

’cause I didn’t hear her going or coming.

She said she gave you something to calm you.

Why are you still here?

Because I’m worried about you, Danni.

You can leave.

See?

- See what? - That. That right there.

What are you talking about?

You shrink or you jump every time I go to touch you.

Well, Tony...

You called me disgusting.

Look, Danni--

You announced to the world that it was over.

And you treated me like trash. So what do you expect?

Danni, I was upset.

I get that.

But you treated me like shit.

As if I don’t already feel like it.

Danni, what happened to you?

I don’t know what you’re talking about.

The bruises.

Right? You’re jumpy. You’re not acting like yourself.

Cretia didn’t tell you anything? What was going on?

You know she can’t tell me anything.

- So what happened? - Stop asking me that.

I thought you might want something new.

Why?

Because I wanted to do something nice for you.

You sure it wasn’t to get rid of the sheets another man was on?

Damn, Danni. Really?

Why would you do it? Because you hate me, right? I’m disgusting.

I don’t hate you.

Danni.

- Hey. - Hey yourself.

- She’s back. - Of course.

- What’s going on? - Just walking around,

checking out my potential new acquisition.

Trying to get ideas on how I’ll turn a profit.

OK. So what is this new acquisition?

Well, it’s not actually mine yet.

OK. So when do you find out?

- Soon. I hope. - OK. So what is the business?

I’m going to hold on to that bit of information

for just a little while longer. I just want to

make sure I’m successful. I don’t want to jinx it.

Oh, the old don’t count your chickens before they hatch, huh?

- Exactly. - Are you nervous?

No, I’m not nervous.

I always get excited when I make business moves like this.

Do you make business moves like this all the time?

Well, yeah. Often enough. Flip it, turn a profit.

Damn. That’s what’s up.

This time, though, if I’m successful,

I think I’ll hold on to it for a bit.

Well, I hope you get it.

Me too. Tomorrow cannot come soon enough.

All right. Well, in the meantime,

might I interest you in another one of our delectable nectars?

Yeah. How about the one that you claim is healthy for me?

You got jokes.

Yeah, I gotta find out who I’m getting into bed with.

- Figuratively speaking. - I didn’t say nothing.

Poor Sabrina.

This feels too familiar.

It wasn’t long ago that you were sitting on this side of the bed.

Looking after me.

Taking care of me.

Baby, we gotta stop meeting like this.

Girl...

I gotta catch you up.

Uh...

Pam.

Her stupid ass is at it again.

She took a sledgehammer to the wall in the salon.

Girl busted a pipe.

The water was everywhere. I just almost lost my mind.

She say something about trying to impress me and Danni

by doing something on her own.

She wanted to put a nail station in the salon.

Trying to show responsibility.

I’ll tell you what. I see why Karen left.

Shit, it was to get away from Pam’s ignorant ass.

Hm.

Look at me.

Nervously chatting.

I guess I don’t know what to say.

Listen, Sabrina.

I need you to talk to me.

I need to hear your voice.

And I can only call your phone

so many times and hear that voicemail.

So, you gotta get up.

Baby, you got to get up, so we can go back to normal,

having fun like we do.

Please?

Listen...

I know that life has not been easy for us lately. I know.

But we always had each other.

I can’t do this without you, Sabrina.

We’ve always had each other. Everything together.

Jail.

Your fertility journey.

This group needs your light.

You’re the light of this group.

And it’s been mighty dark since your accident.

You gotta get up.

Well, I am certainly going to miss my girls.

Mama, I feel bad for staying.

Well, it’s not too late, I can book you a flight.

- Andi, stop it. - I’m just saying.

Do you need help going downstairs?

No, I’m, I’m good.

OK, well, I’m going to check on you every day, Mommy.

Check with Myra in case I’m resting,

and I’ll make sure that you guys are kept up to date.

OK.

Now, can you two just get along?

I mean, y’all gotta find a way to make this arrangement work.

Mom, you don’t worry about us. You focus on getting well, OK?

Yeah. Me and Sister will make it do what it do.

That’s what I’m worried about.

Oh, Mommy, we’ll be fine.

- Girls! - Sorry.

I’m proud of you. Both of you.

Will you look out for each other?

And would you please make sure she eats?

You cook. Because we know she can’t cook.

She’s lying to us. You can’t cook, Andi. Are you kidding me?

Mom.

You can’t boil water. So please cook for her.

And would you look out for your sister?

You know she’s a ho. Will you look out for her?

Yes, she is.

- You promise? - Yes.

OK. Look out for each other. And I’ll be watching you.

I wanted to tell you, I got some cameras

placed around your apartment just to make sure

that you guys are OK.

- What? - What?

It’s only two or three. Don’t worry.

And I will only intervene

if you guys do something just horrific or drastic.

- Or against the Bible. - That’s her life.

You realize you’re pointing at each other?

I promise you I’m gonna put the both of you in the corner.

Now knock it off.

You did the same mess 10, 15 years ago.

It’s time for you guys to grow up.

Oh, um, your car service is here, Mommy.

OK.

Mm.

I’ll see you guys, OK? I love you both. All right?

I love you too, Mommy.

Look out for each other. Would you do that for me? OK? And eat.

Eat. OK? 1997, that was too long ago.

Even in crying, she finds a way to insult me.

Mm. Mm.

What you gonna do, Chey?

Shut up!

What the hell have I gotten myself into?

Danni?

Daniella?

Go home, Tony. Just go home.

No, I’m not leaving until I know that you’re OK.

Why? Why, Tony, why?

Because, all right?

Why do you even care?

Danni, I...

Can you just please leave me alone?

Just leave me alone.

Do you want to go see Sabrina?

If I want to go, I’ll drive myself.

Come on, Danni. I’m trying.

Trying to do what? Hm?

You’re trying to make me feel like shit?

’Cause it’s working. Doing all this nice stuff. I don’t...

Look...

Why do you keep pulling back like that?

You know I would never hurt you.

I don’t know anything, Tony.

All right, so we back to that again.

- Hey, what’s good, Tony? - Yo, Zac, is Fatima around?

She downstairs. Why?

I need her help, man. Can you have her call Andi

and they come over to Danni’s place?

What’s wrong with Danni?

Look, whatever it is, man, it’s serious.

And she’s not talking.

That’s different.

You typically can’t get Danni to stop talking.

Damn, that must be serious.

Man, I don’t know what to do,

and I don’t feel right leaving her like this.

Well, I’m surprised. I thought you was mad

after the way you trashed her at the hospital.

- I was. - So what changed?

Man, you haven’t seen her, bro.

Look, I was there for the nightmares and everything.

But this?

This is something different, man.

All right. I’ll tell Fatima.

All right, good looking out.

Bet.

What’s wrong with Danni, bro?

- Hey. Come on in. - Hey. Where is Danni?

Holed up in the bathroom.

For how long?

More time than she’s been out here.

Well, is she sick or something?

I don’t know, all right? But something happened.

Wait, does she know that we were coming?

No. But she needs you.

Danni?

- Fatima? - Hey, girl.

Tony called you?

- Yeah. - God.

- Danni, what’s going on? - Tony called you, too?

What the--, Tony?

Danni, you won’t to talk to me, maybe you’ll talk to your girls.

Look, I’m gonna leave you ladies to it.

Danni, what is going on?

Yeah, and why are you walking like that?

Wait. Danni, are those bruises on your neck?

- What? - Danni, who did this to you?

Was it Tony?

Wait, Tony did this shit? You know what?

- No, no. - Then who, Danni?

I’m gonna start calling him the operator,

because first he called Cretia, now he calls you two.

OK. Just tell me, who hurt you? Who was it?

Danni, Danni, look at me.

Were you raped?

No.

No? What do you mean? What do you mean, "No"?

I can’t do this.

I have a lot of stuff on my mind, like, I...

You know, it’s funny that it takes two people

to start something, but only one to end it.

OK, Marcus.

Can you just give me some time to process all this?

You know, get some sleep?

You out of everyone knows that

my best friend is in a coma right now, OK?

And I just...

Every time someone calls me or texts me or bangs on my door,

I think they’re about to tell me she’s dead.

Oh, you didn’t do that last night.

OK, I don’t think you’re hearing me. You need to go home.

I’m not interested in pursuing anything further with you, OK?

- So go home, Marcus. - Hey, you don’t mean that.

Yeah, I do. Not now, not ever, so...

- Hey, stop! Stop! - What the--

We’re not done talking!

- Are you crazy? - I just wanna be there for you!

I don’t want that.

How many times do I have to get it through your head

that I don’t want to be with you?

I’ve said it at least four times in the last two minutes.

No. No, you’re not just gonna use me

and throw me away like I’m trash!

Not me. Not Marcus Green!

What happened to that nice cop

that helped me and my friends, huh? Where’s he?

Hm?

I’m not leaving until I get what I came here for.

If you don’t leave, I’m gonna call--

Who? The police?

I am the police!

Danni, who did this?

- It was just someone I met. - Who?

It doesn’t matter. You don’t know him.

Oh, it was just some random person?

- Yep. - Danni.

I know what I’m gonna do. We are gonna call the police.

- Zac, it’s Danni. - What happened to Danni?

Next on Sistas .

- I’m fine, I’m good. - Danni, you don’t mean that.

I do. What is this? What are you trying to be, Sabrina?

Because you’re not.

This is money down the drain for nothing.

Well, what else do you suggest a girl do with a big old pipe?

So many shots getting fired at Andi,

it’s only a matter of time before you catch a stray.

You want me to hook you up with that pre-workout?

I ain’t tell nobody. I put a bid in about the gym.

My car was blown up.

Are you saying that Brett Cruise had something to do with that?
