I thought I was her next of kin. You don't have any decision -making

for Ms. Hollins' care.

Previously on Sistah. You cannot go out with Hayden. He is a snake. He's a low

-life opportunist. And in this world, in every other universe, he is my enemy.

Two chance meetings and intimate encounters.

You barely know me.

Well, let's change that.

I'm not going to the police.

But why, Danny?

You got to hear them.

It's you.

And why are you in my house?

I'm Fatima.

Did that ring a bell?

No.

Again, why the f*** are you in my house?

And how'd you get in here anyway?

It's Luther, right?

Yeah.

How you know me?

I don't.

And I don't... care to.

What I do want to know is who hired you to blow up a rose a few days ago?

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

Luther?

I'm sitting in your house.

It's obvious I know who you are.

And?

What if it was me?

I just want to know who hired you.

Is something wrong?

No. It's going back in the room.

Okay.

Hey, what's your name?

Erica.

Erica, you seem like a smart girl.

You see me sitting here?

Yes.

Did you hear me come in?

No.

Then you should probably leave, huh?

No, babe.

You ain't got to go nowhere.

Uh -uh.

I'm getting up out of here.

Oh, no.

What do you mean?

I paid for you.

You know what?

Get out.

Go on, then.

So?

Man, I ain't telling you shit.

Whoever pays you to blow up that car did it in front of my house.

I never said that I did that.

It was not even 100 feet from me, okay?

I could have been hurt.

My family and friends hurt.

Even killed.

They... They wanted me to set a warning.

They who?

I don't know.

It came down the pipeline. Some doctor.

I know a doctor.

Okay.

So you can get the phone.

How much?

What do you mean?

How much did that white man that you don't know tell you to send a message to

your people?

Uncle K.

Wow.

Almost got killed over four grand.

It's a damn shame.

But no one got hurt.

Not yet, little girl.

What are you looking at?

Oh, nothing.

Just people watching.

I'm not, uh, holding your attention.

Of course you are.

So you're not, uh, stimulated by the conversation?

Hey, don't be silly.

So you said you came to the office to see your sister.

Who's your sister?

You ask so many questions.

I'm just trying to get to know you. Yeah.

My food?

So good?

Yeah. How's yours?

Yeah, good.

It's all right.

So I'm really glad you changed your mind.

What made you?

Made me what?

Change your mind.

I didn't.

Well, you did.

Because you weren't interested at first.

Oh, I didn't want you to think I was easy.

That's all.

You said four grand, right?

Is that enough?

Absolutely.

Go enjoy.

To be friends, the new beginnings.

I like that.

I'm glad you decided to join us, Sydney.

Me too.

Is everything okay?

Yeah, definitely.

Is everything okay?

Andy.

Well, why do you ask?

You just seem a bit distracted.

Oh, I have a lot on my mind.

I could take you home if you like.

No, no, no.

You have my undivided attention.

You want to tell me what's going on?

I mean, it's obvious that someone or something has you distracted.

Well...

See, Atlanta's a little too small for my liking.

Then leave.

You know this guy?

Yeah.

Yeah, I'm Hayden Moss.

I'm a lawyer at the firm.

You are?

Reginald Vaughn.

Dr. Vaughn. From the Vanguard Hospital.

Do I know you?

Nah, but I know you.

Interesting. Because I've never heard of you.

That's funny.

I see why you were looking at my date.

She fine, right?

It seems a bit young for you, Hayden.

I'm a consenting adult.

Oh, you definitely are.

Andy,

I thought she was strictly dickly. Okay, my man, you need to move on.

No need to get hostile, my man.

I just thought you should know who you're dealing with.

See, anybody that dates Andy ends up stabbed, incarcerated.

life and reputation ruined?

You know. No, I don't know. But what I do know is that you and your date need

move on.

Just telling you the truth, bro.

Speaking of the truth, do you want to tell him or shall I?

I'm bored.

Can we leave?

Tell me what?

Okay, my man. Just keep it moving.

Hold on one second. See, I want to know what she's talking about.

Cheyenne, what you talking about? You've interrupted our dinner, so I'm asking

you politely to leave.

Ain't nobody even talking to you, bro. But I'm definitely talking to you.

Regional, regional, please.

I don't believe you two have been properly introduced, so allow me to

that.

Hayden Moss, please meet Cheyenne Barnes.

Barnes?

Mm -hmm.

Don't you see there's a mess?

Is it the sister you came to see?

Oh, hell no.

Hey,

I'm

Madison Truitt. I'm the newer of the gym.

Hi, I'm Zachary Taylor. I shake your hand.

It's all good. No worries, Zach.

Zach Taylor, you said?

Yeah.

I know your name.

Zach Taylor.

Are you friends with Rich from Richfield Juice Bar?

Yeah, Rich. It's my people's.

Why? He told me that you were also interested in buying the play.

Yeah, I mean...

I spent so much time here, obviously.

Yeah. Figure why not give it a shot.

Yeah. Well, hopefully no hard feelings.

No, no. I'm a little disappointed, but we good.

Okay, cool.

All right.

You know, I would love to pick your brain, actually.

Why? Well, I mean, clearly you come here. You're passionate about the place.

I think being that you come here regularly, you bring perspective that I

Yeah. I mean, he said you were interested in doing, like, some cross

-promotional events and stuff like that. Yeah, and I am.

But I also want to upgrade the facility, and I think that that's where your

input would be invaluable.

So... That's what's up. Yeah. Oh, yeah. Well, I mean, I'd love to, but I

actually got to head home.

Um, well, maybe we can chat later. Let me give you my card.

You know, Rich also mentioned that I should speak with, um, God, oh, I think

it's Fatima?

Fatima. Fatima, yeah.

That's my baby. Yeah, well, I'd love to catch up with the both of you when you

have time.

Sounds good. Okay, cool.

Fine. Thanks, man. Thank you. My pleasure. Thank you.

Hey,

Madison, I don't typically do this, but somebody else is going to have to rack

these. Wait, I got to go.

Later.

Hey, guys.

Scott here picked up a little new lighting gig waiting table.

I've got better tips, too.

Oh, okay. Well, you know, proud gives of light.

That's home.

This is, uh, this is work.

Yeah. So can I get you guys something else?

Maybe something a bit stronger?

Oh, sure. Do you have Aaron Pierre back there? I wish.

Oh, well, then I'm good. What about you?

I'll stay.

You're the only one.

Mm -hmm.

Why do you want Aaron here? What about dinner?

Yes.

You should go mind your drink. It's the 45 you had.

Right.

He's hurt his feelings.

Feelings? He's right. He ain't been through nothing.

He's family anyway.

Right, you're right. Ain't that right?

Whatever, bitch.

See?

The hell?

Come on.

It's 1, 2, 3, 4, 5.

Maurice, I hear you.

Bitch, can you count?

1, 2, 3, 4, 5.

Wait, repeat it.

Pam, I'm going to text you.

Maurice, hurry.

I don't know what to do.

I understand.

I am so sorry.

So let me get this straight.

So you're trying to set me up to get me fired or something?

What are you talking about, Hayden? You had me go out with your underage sister?

I'm not underage. Trying to get me arrested or what?

First of all, you're paranoia showing. Secondly, I value my time way too much

care about you or play those types of games.

Right. I got one word for you. Watch yourself.

Tamara.

Not the same situation. You see, my sister, I warned and told her not to go

with you, but she did it anyway.

I did.

Also,

she's grown, and all I can do is warn my sister.

Just the same as you tried to warn my date that you're interrupting, Dr.

Reginald Collins.

So if you said all you came to say, can we please leave so we can try to enjoy

the rest of our dinner?

I'm standing up.

No need to stand up, man. We leaving.

So you're a doctor?

Yeah.

I still make my money in him. Let go.

Cheyenne.

Don't let that asshole in my house.

Wasn't planning on it.

I'm serious.

He's bad news.

Sounds like you're the bad news, sister.

Bye.

That's your sister?

She's trouble.

Your body won't lie.

Anyway,

feeling is fine.

The thing is fine.

He's my little powder donut.

I'm happy for you.

Thank you.

I'm happy for me, too.

And what about you?

There's too much going on there. It's going to blow my heart.

You going to get that?

I best get it.

I'm at Billy Jake's with Marie.

Danny.

What? We needed a pick -me -up after we saw Sabrina at the hospital.

You know alcohol is actually a depressant.

Joke's on you because I'm high, too.

I'm going to head over to your place and wait for you to get home.

You have the key.

I'll wait outside the door. I need to make sure you're safe.

Don't worry about it. I'm going to be home late.

at Billy Jake's, right? Yes.

Then I'm on my way. No, no, no. I need to stop by Andy's.

I need to check on my other sister.

Then I will wait for you back at your place.

Okay. How about I call you instead of you disturbing the other tenants with

ordering?

Will you do that for me?

Please? Yes.

Everything okay?

Mm -hmm.

I thought you and Tony broke up.

Yes.

You sure?

It's complicated.

Well,

I'm going to finish up this drink so I can call Dylan and give him some color

time tonight.

You know what?

It's nice seeing you, Russell.

It is. It's good.

Thank you.

It's taking some getting used to, you know?

I'm just waiting for the punchline. And I must admit, I'm so surprised with

myself that I'm sitting up, laid up, and shacking up with a white man.

I heard that.

Go to hell.

Easy.

I mean, you know, I, too, dated a caucasoid one.

But you know what matters?

Because you're good to them, and they're good to me.

Enjoy the ride.

On engine?

Indeed.

But really enjoy it. Because life can turn a woman to die.

You can say that again.

We certainly learned that with Sabrina, haven't we?

Anyway, I have some questions to ask you.

All right. Number one, why is Tony so worried about your safety? And number

who is this creep that he speaks of?

What's up, baby?

Hey.

I thought I told you to be shy before I got home.

Yeah, I got a little carried away at the gym. Yeah, I can see and feel that.

Is it that bad?

You smell like butt.

That's why I want to know why you're sitting on my bed, stinking.

Yeah.

How was everything with Andy?

What?

With Andy.

Is that why you go back to the office?

Oh, yeah. Oh, baby brain.

Yeah, everything's good.

Oh, tell me why the new owner came by the gym today.

Introduced herself to everybody.

Oh, was she cool?

Yeah, she was. And, um, she know Rich.

Rich told her about us. And she wants to ask us about some improvements for the

gym.

What? I mean, she can do whatever the hell she want to do at the gym. She

it. I did it.

But we remember, so, you know.

Okay.

I got her card.

Oh, yeah, and I will check that.

Figured you would.

Mm -hmm.

Yep, I got to check her out.

Make sure she ain't up to shit.

Why you don't worry about that, man? Which I wouldn't have told her about

Look, that don't mean nothing.

She cool for team over life.

All right?

Whatever. Mm -hmm.

Have you talked to Miss Chief?

Actually, I haven't.

I need to call him.

Okay?

What's the matter? Why you don't like him?

I just think there's some questions that need to be answered.

About what? My sperm donor?

Yeah, for one.

I don't want to know about him.

As a matter of fact... No, Jack, listen.

No, I'm going to get in the shower.

Okay? When I come back, we can finish what we started earlier.

Pick up some furniture for us to break.

Hurry up.

I gotta be working alone.

They let...

Thank

you for making sure I got home safely.

My pleasure.

I'm sorry about the awkwardness.

It did get the evening off to a rough start, but I think it's ending on a high

note, don't you?

Well, I guess I should get going.

Yeah.

On your own time, Ms. Barnes.

I'm not going anywhere.

Just don't make me wait too long.

I'll try not to.

Have a good night.

You too.

You're dating a doctor now.

Yes, Cheyenne, I am.

Well, tonight was awkward.

Oh, yeah, thanks to you.

I don't know what you mean. Cheyenne, you saw us clear as day, and then you

Hayden headed in my direction just being messy.

I have no idea what you're talking about.

Whatever, Cheyenne.

Hayden really hates you. Oh, yeah, the feeling is mutual. I told you that.

He came back with more tongue.

Um, can you go somewhere looking like that?

Nope.

Damn it, Cheyenne.

Hi, Reginald. Did you forget something?

Your doctor friend is gone.

What the hell are you doing here?

What are you looking at?

Get back in the house.

Well,

why is Tony worried about your safety?

Listen, it's just, you know, this guy's been stalking me down into a little

scuffle. Scuffle? Yeah, and Tony just wants to make sure it doesn't come back.

What kind of scuffle?

Okay, Marcus, can you just give me some time to process all this?

You know, get some sleep, and I'll call you when my head's on straight.

You ought to... Okay, I don't think you're hearing me.

You need to go home, all right? So go home, Marcus.

You don't mean that.

Yeah, I do.

Not now, not ever.

Are you crazy?

I just want to beat it for you.

I don't want that.

A bad one.

Annie, are you okay?

Yeah.

Are you sure?

And it was only a scuffle?

Yes.

The brain that taught you that look.

What you talking about? That look.

I don't know what you think. You don't believe what I'm saying.

Well, I'm not saying I don't believe what you're saying. I'm saying that I

like you are leaving something out.

Is Tony calling again?

No.

Not Tony, but... Who is it? The hospital?

No, no, no.

I do, um... I do have to go.

Go. Danny. What? You ain't telling me.

Be nice to Chris.

Chris. Yeah.

Now, where are you going?

Uh -uh. Wait up. You're my ride.

Wait up, bitch.

What the hell are you doing here? We need to talk, Ms. Barnes.

Yes, that's why we have a meeting tomorrow morning.

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

Who is this?

I'm Cheyenne, Andy's little sister.

And you are?

Here on official business.

Cheyenne, could you please give us some privacy and maybe put some clothes on?

Come on.

What is this about?

The issue is escalating.

We've received intel of an impending hit on you.

What? It's highly possible that an order's coming down for your life.

this, the Bureau wants to put you in protective custody.

No. I'm not going to run in fear of Dr. Cruz and his little minions.

If I do that, they win.

Look, I understand your position.

But the threat is credible.

Okay, well, what about my other colleague?

Is Fatima Wilson threatened as well?

So far, you're the only target being discussed.

Okay.

Well, listen, Agent Watt, I have a life.

I have a firm to help run.

You can't run anything dead, Ms. Barnes.

Then what am I supposed to do? Just give away all my cases?

Well, putting a hold on the case that put you on their radar in the first

is a start.

No, if I do that, Dr. Cruz wins and he gets away with everything he's done.

Look, I'm not saying it's forever.

Wait, if they know that the order is coming from Dr. Cruz, can't you do

something? Arrest him or something?

See, that's where things get a little gray.

What does that even mean?

There is no direct connection linking Dr. Cruz to this.

Agent Watt, you do not believe that.

Ms. Barnes, it's not about what I believe.

It's about what we can prove.

Okay, well, protective custody is out of the question.

Look, I'd like for you to just think about it tonight.

In the meantime, we're going to have someone watch you.

I can't live my life like that.

You won't even know they're there.

They don't want.

We'll stay on the chatter.

See if an actual order gets placed.

Okay. Thank you.

I'll keep you posted as far as.

Oh, God.

I love you so much. I love you too.

I never think I have somebody like you, y 'all.

I never felt this before either.

Really?

You know that.

I guess I do.

Okay, I don't know.

I'm getting it.

Uh -oh, boy. Go to sleep. I got it. What? I got to be working a few hours.

Come on.

Please. Okay.

Oh, gosh.

Who could be calling this late, yo?

It's Andy.

What? Yeah.

Anybody calling this time of night, it can't be good.

What about in the office hours?

Zach, you do know we're friends, right?

Yeah, I know.

Hello?

Fatima?

Andy, is everything okay?

Agent Watt just paid me a visit, and he said that there's been chatter about the

hit being placed on me.

That's right.

What?

What's wrong?

Hold on, Zach. Put that shit on speaker.

Andy, hold on one second. I'm putting you on speakerphone.

Okay.

All right.

What's up, Andy?

So what's going on?

Mr. Vincent had a friend at the bureau reach out about the car bomb.

Apparently, they were tipped off that someone has put a contract out on me.

Andy, I'm sure it's just Dr. Cruz trying to scare you. I wouldn't worry about

it. I don't know, Fatima.

I mean, I asked about you, and they haven't heard anything.

Good.

I'm just saying, my bad, Andy. I just need my baby and my baby to be good.

They want to put me in protective custody.

I told him no.

Andy. They said that they're going to offer me protection for the time being,

but... Okay, well, that's something.

Listen, I'm sorry for calling you so late. I just wanted to talk to someone

understands.

Look, you know I got you. It's fine.

Thank you.

Thank you, Zach, as well.

No, that's no problem, Andy.

Of course.

Listen, it's been a long, crazy day. I'm going to try to get some sleep.

All right, get some rest.

Yo, be careful, Andy.

I will.

Thank you.

Fatima?

Oh, no, I thought you were someone else.

Really?

Yeah, send her up.

Thanks.

He left?

Yes, Cheyenne.

Hey.

I thought you liked Hayden.

No, I told you that was a meal.

By the way, why are you walking around the house half naked?

I sleep naked.

This is for your benefit.

Oh, for my benefit?

Do you have to flash everyone that did this?

Don't hate.

Never been a hater, baby.

Come in, have a seat.

Hello, this woman.

You remember my baby sister, Cheyenne.

Just a little Cheyenne.

Well, not so little anymore.

Oh, it's a toy.

Yeah, not so little anymore.

Denny. I like your little outfit.

Thank you.

Is everything okay?

Oh, yeah, girl. Sorry about popping in.

Looked like you guys were about to come by my bed.

Uh, no, nothing's more important than you. Are you okay?

Yeah.

I stopped by to see Sabrina.

Oh.

Me too.

You know, I can call big -headed -ass Karen anytime I want, but... Anyway,

was a social worker came in, talk about some attorney powers and court orders

and all this stuff.

Hold on, Danny. What is going on?

Girl, I don't even know. I can't even think about that right now.

Anyway. So shy, yeah.

Well, I mean, not so little.

You got a little tooth now. I see it. You see it. I know.

Please don't gas her up.

It's cute.

What are you doing here?

I'm just staying here with sister until I find my own place.

You

know,

just the two of us now.

That's just a line.

No more circle.

Don't say that. I mean, Karen is still, and Sabrina is in a coma.

So, Diane, have you found a job?

No, she hasn't, actually.

Listen, don't apply to hire airlines.

None of them planes have been falling out the sky.

That's them.

Get in company.

All right? Yeah. New.

I'm looking for a salon job.

What? Danny.

Danny?

Look at God. No, no, no. I have to share some information with you first.

What? I own a salon.

What? Yeah. It's called Fresh Start.

So you can get me a job.

Well, I can't give you anything now. You know what I'm saying? I got some

partners. We're going to need to co -sign on some things.

Okay. Bye.

You know, you should apply.

Definitely. Mm -hmm. She does need a fresh start. And I suppose that you guys

are down a stylist with Karen being gone.

Oh, girl, they were down before she left.

Oh, they were?

Yeah, but she'll be gone. Mm -hmm.

Okay.

Good.

All right. Why did she do that?

I don't know.

Oh, fit and tiny. Like, what are we, what is taking back there?

I don't know.

You should apply.

Andy, give her the address.

HR is going to need your resume.

Wait, there's an HR?

I'll call your HR.

Doesn't she need a referral?

Yeah, I do.

That's fair.

I'll get up. I'll tell her there.

You too.

Get some rest.

Are you sure everything's okay? Yeah.

Hi. Danny?

Danny?

Can't believe this shit.

I know, but the FBI will keep her updated if this situation changes.

Yeah, I'm worried about you, though.

Zach, I told you. I'm fine, okay? You know I stay ready.

So, maybe I need to start taking you to work.

Zach, no, listen. We're not about to start living in fear. No.

You can't blame me for being worried, though. No, Zach, I'm serious.

We're not about to let these threats change the way we move. No.

You can't blame me for worrying.

I know, baby, and I don't.

Okay?

Look, how about this?

If I feel things are getting too crazy,

you'll be the first to know.

All right?

That's all I ask.

All right.

All right. Go to sleep. Okay?

Thank you for the juice.

I think she likes more than for just the juice, my boy.

Juice is good, but I mean, it ain't really that good, like... Next on

We have a lot of applicants at the silent position.

Uh -uh. Dick!

Uh -uh. No, no, no.

What can I do for you, Bettina?

How about tell Zach the truth?

What is going on with your mom and Mr. Q?

Right? Annie, I don't know what it is, but I don't trust that man.

Look, I still love you, Danny.

Why?
