Previously on Sistas...

Are you here for the patient, Sabrina Hollins?

Yes, yes.

Miss Hollins is in a coma.

- You coming in? - No.

I just wanted to see you to your door.

- Still mad at your girl, huh? - Hell, yeah, man.

We were going through what we were going through,

but that didn’t give her a reason

to have sex with some random.

You two are sisters and you need to support each other.

Did something happen between you and Cheyenne

that I don’t know about?

I’m just saying that we’re different.

We have a different lifestyle. We have different values.

We’re just different.

Hello?

Hey.

Who is this?

Your sister.

Cheyenne?

Have you lost your mind? Do you know what time it is?

Where are you?

County lockup.

What the hell, Cheyenne?

I was partying with some friends and the police came.

Oh, some friends. What friends, Cheyenne?

You just got here today.

You know I make friends easily.

Cheyenne, why are you in jail?

I don’t know.

Something about lewd and lascivious conduct.

What on earth did you do?

I told you. I was partying.

No, ma’am, to get charged with lewd and lascivious conduct,

you had to do more than that. Spill it!

Okay, it got hot.

So me and my friends decided to go skinny dipping.

And we sort of had sex.

Cheyenne, you did not have sex in a public pool.

That is disgusting. You know people piss in those.

I don’t need the lecture.

Oh, but you need me to bail your ass out of jail?

Well, yeah, that’s correct.

You have been here less than 24 hours

- and this is how it starts? - Don’t be dramatic.

This must be a Cheyenne world record.

Stop yelling. You’ll wake Mama.

Oh, you care about Mom right now instead of the fact

that your ass is in jail,

about to be charged with a felony?

Wait. One minute.

My sister’s an attorney.

Oh, except I’m not the one you need.

Can you come get me?

This is unbelievable.

Are you coming?

Has your bail been set?

I don’t know.

Fine, I’m coming.

Don’t tell Mom.

You want me to hide this from her?

Look, she’s sick. She doesn’t need to deal with this, too.

Shut the-- up, Cheyenne!

You should have thought about that beforehand.

Please!

I will make some phone calls and see what I can do.

Thanks, Sister.

Don’t remind me. Sister.

Shit!

Yo, I did my big one with that.

Yeah, no.

- Hm-hmm, no, no, no. - What?

I know that look. No, no, no.

You not about to have me walking crazy at work tomorrow.

I promise you, baby, it’s not that.

What is it then?

Just...

Thinking about our future.

- Really? - Yeah.

What does that look like?

I don’t know.

A lot of little Taylors running along.

Okay, wait, wait, wait, wait. Run that back.

How many was it?

I don’t know. A lot of them.

Or at least we have a lot of fun trying.

Okay. I like the sound of that.

- Yeah? - Yeah.

I don’t know, baby.

It’s just, with you working and going to school,

I just want to do everything in my power to make sure

you’re good and comfortable, you know?

You already doing that, babe.

Yes.

Got to go to another level.

Okay. What you got in mind?

You see the gym that’s for sale?

I did see that, yeah.

What if I put a bid on it?

Really, Zac?

Yeah, I mean, I could see myself owning the gym.

Get some promotions going and help bring up some business.

Okay.

So would this be in place of your other real estate ventures?

No, this, this will be ours.

You know, for like our family joint.

We can even start a chain.

Yeah.

I mean, we would need a really good team

to help maintain the equipment and--

Yeah, because the equipment in the gym is trash.

- And the steam room is terrible. - Ugh, the worst.

Yeah. You know what?

It’s going to be a lot of work, but I like the idea.

I do, too.

Look at you, diversifying your portfolio.

Stop playing with me.

I just want to make sure I give you the world,

you know, and our baby.

I love that.

Do you?

You know I do.

I do.

Zac, I know you’re really excited

about the mentorship program with Mr. Keyes and everything.

I am, yo. Like, it seems like

finally everything in my life is coming together, man.

I get to help some kids that grew up like me.

Yeah, I know. That’s great.

It really is.

Baby, I don’t trust him.

Who? Mr. Keyes?

Yeah, it’s just something. I don’t know.

Noted.

Hey!

You scared the shit out of me, Marcus.

Oh, I, I’m sorry.

Yeah, okay. Well, what are you doing here?

- Uh. - Oh.

Getting groceries. Same as you.

Got one hell of a sweet tooth.

Okay.

Just stocking up on some comfort food.

Thank you.

I’m glad I ran into you.

You haven’t been responding to my calls or texts.

Yeah, yeah, yeah. Um, I’ve been very busy.

Very.

Oh, hey, uh, I ran into your friend, Maurice,

at the hospital.

He said you were missing another friend.

That happen to you guys often?

It seems that way.

Did you ever find her?

What’s wrong?

She was in a car accident.

Uh, Hollins?

Sabrina Hollins, right?

Yeah, how’d you know?

I was one of the officers that made the scene.

Right.

But wait. You don’t remember?

She looked familiar, but the name didn’t ring a bell.

That was, that was one of the worst accidents I’ve seen

in all my years in the force.

How’s she doing?

She’s in a coma.

- I’m sorry. - Me too.

Do you want some company?

I really need to just be by myself

so I can process everything and work through it.

You know...

You sure?

Yeah. Marcus, you know what happened between us

was a mistake, right?

I mean, you seemed to enjoy that mistake.

Not everything that’s good to you

is good for you.

Sabrina would always tell me that, so...

I just want to see you again.

Marcus, I cheated, okay?

What we did was wrong.

Well, you weren’t happy.

So that doesn’t give me the right to cheat.

Marcus, I hurt him.

And I don’t think I’ll be able to forgive myself.

Or maybe it’s just time to move on.

I gotta go. Watch yourself.

- I’m sorry. - Danni, listen.

I really want to be by myself.

I’m just trying to be there for you.

I don’t think you’re hearing me. You remember Karen?

- You remember? - Yeah, yeah.

She up and moved to Seattle.

And my friend, my sister,

she might not live through the night.

Okay? I don’t want to be around anyone right now.

I want to be alone. Do you get it?

Yes, ma’am.

I’m not trying to hurt you.

All I want to do is crawl under my covers,

with those fat-ass snacks and be by myself.

Okay?

Oh, well,

if you change your mind, reach out, all right?

I don’t think I will.

But I appreciate it.

Take care of yourself.

Bae, I’m kinda struggling with this, man.

I think Keyes is a good dude.

Before, you’d say you trusted my instincts.

I do, I do,

but you pregnant, man.

You got hormones. I think the hormones

might make you a little overprotective.

- Come on. - Zac, that’s not it, it’s not.

And did you see how he was all over Andi’s mom?

I mean, I did.

I mean, they grown, but they was, like, all over each other.

Yeah, Zac, we all saw it.

Look, Andi was as shocked as we were.

You think they knew each other before that?

I don’t know. It’s just weird.

You think they smashed?

Ew, Zac, I don’t even wanna think about that.

Ugh.

You know that’s gonna be us in a couple years?

Like 20 to 30 years. Slow you roll.

Yeah.

You still gonna want it in 20, 30 years?

I know I am.

As long as you keep doing

that little thing that you really, really good at,

yes, I will.

I’ll keep doing that thing that I’m good at.

Oh, man.

I love you, Zachary Taylor.

You used my government name.

That’s how you know I’m not bullshitting.

I know.

- I know you love me. - Yeah.

And I’m even more proud of you every day.

Really? Why?

Why? I don’t know.

You’ve always been ambitious.

You just like direction at first.

- That’s true. - Mm-hmm.

But look at you now.

Yeah.

I guess I am kind of doing my thing, right?

- You are. - Yeah.

You put your big boy drawers on and you’re wearing them well.

I ain’t got no drawers on right now.

Zac.

- What? - Mm-mm.

- No, boy. No! - Like, just...

I gotta be at work in the morning now, come on.

You can cuddle. That’s it, all right?

- All right. - Okay.

Zac.

- What’s up? I’m cuddling. - Cuddle. Okay?

Mm-hmm.

- Zac. - Hmm?

Get your-- off my booty.

- - I’m serious.

All right, all right.

You play too much. Go to sleep.

All right, y’all got 10 minutes.

Officer, are the cuffs really necessary?

It’s procedure, all right?

Where am I gonna go?

Sorry.

I cannot believe that you got in trouble

in your first night in Atlanta.

I’m sorry, are you here to lecture me or get me out?

Cheyenne, you cannot come here, acting like a crazy person.

Sex in a public pool?

Mommy taught us better than that.

What do you know what Mama taught me?

You left when I was eight. You never looked back.

Cheyenne, I was in college.

What was I supposed to do with you?

You knew how it was before Marvin died.

I don’t want to talk about that.

See? That’s your problem.

Cheyenne, I went to college.

I pursued a higher education, then I went to law school.

You know what? None of that matters.

We grew up in the same house. How are we so different?

Whatever.

Has the bail been set?

I pulled some strings and called in some favors

to get your charges dismissed.

Why are we still sitting here?

Because you still have to wait for the paperwork, Cheyenne.

Good looking out, Sister.

Cheyenne, this is the first and the last time

I’m gonna stick my neck out for you

when you’re in trouble, okay?

Okay. Did you tell Mom?

Considering she was asleep when I left, no.

Look, it won’t happen again.

I was just blowing off some steam.

Things got crazy.

- Your pupils are dilated. - Shh.

Are you high?

Yes. As hell.

Did they not drug test you?

No. They need consent or probable cause.

They had neither.

Hmm.

At least you know your rights.

I’m not stupid.

Yeah, you just act like it.

Look, I’m just living my life the best way I know how.

Is this what I have to look forward to?

You getting into trouble and me bailing you out all the time?

You said that it was the first and last time, so...

Cheyenne, don’t be smart. You know what I mean.

This is a terrible precedence.

I’m tired.

When are we leaving?

It must be so nice to be oblivious

and give zero cares about how your actions affect others.

And the lecture continues.

You know what? I have an idea.

Maybe I should leave your ass here.

You know what? Leave.

Leave like you always do.

You leave and you never look back.

That’s not fair.

Whatever.

Cheyenne, what do you want from me?

Ms. Barnes?

- Yes? - Free to go.

Thank you, Officer.

Thanks.

Can we get some food? I’m starving.

No.

Why don’t you eat the food that you made earlier?

I’m going to bed when we get back, okay?

- But-- - No, Cheyenne.

Also, first order of business

is washing off that nasty pool water

and whoever you were screwing in it.

Okay.

Just put my business out there.

Honey, it’s documented. You did it yourself.

You ready?

- Thank you, Officer. - All right.

Let’s go. Dear Sister.

Hey, hey, Calvin. How you doing?

I’m sorry to call so late.

I couldn’t sleep.

No, no, no. I’m fine.

I’m fine, I’m okay. I just...

Well, I’m about to tell you how Sabrina is

if you’ll give me a moment.

Um...

I don’t have a better way of saying this, but...

Calvin, please stop screaming. Please...

Calvin.

Calvin, Sabrina’s not dead. No, no, no, no, no.

No. But she is in a coma.

[screaming and sobbing]

Uh.

Calvin, listen to me.

You have to calm down so that I can talk to you.

Calvin, if you don’t calm down, I’ll have to continue...

Do you want me to talk to you in Morse code?

Okay, calm down. Listen.

Sabrina was in a bad car accident.

Okay?

Calvin, Calvin, please.

Please stop it. You have to listen.

She was in a bad car accident and...

Calvin, please.

[screaming and sobbing]

I’m calling you to let you know,

even though you haven’t been together,

I know that you still care about her,

and so I felt like you deserved to know.

Okay, okay, okay, okay, okay, okay.

The doctor said

that, if she makes it through tonight, she’ll be okay.

Cal-- Okay, Calvin.

I’m not gonna listen to you cry all day.

Uh-huh. All right, Calvin.

Well, I’ll keep you updated.

I’ma go now, okay?

Drink you some tea or something.

Where are you two coming from at this hour?

Oh, I was just picking Cheyenne up from--

A party. Yeah.

Things got out of hand, so I asked Andi to pick me up.

- A party? - Mm-hmm.

Whose party was it?

Whose was it?

Some friends I met.

People you just met?

Well, yeah.

You know how dangerous that is?

Oh, you don’t know the half of it.

Andi, where you going?

I am going to go to bed now.

You guys should talk. Yeah, that’d be great.

Love you, Mom.

Why do I get the impression you hiding something from me?

You gonna tell me what really happened?

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

You left here looking like Miss Black America.

You come back looking like Miss Crack-ho.

And what happened to your clothes and your hair?

I slipped and fell in a pool.

A pool?

I thought you told me you was at a party.

It was a party, and then it turned into a pool party.

Mm-hmm.

Maybe in the morning, you and your sister

gonna tell me what really happened.

But tonight, you need to wash that chlorine out of your hair

because it’s gonna dry it out.

Yes, Mama.

Went God knows where with God knows who.

You realize you could have been kidnapped or sex trafficked?

But I’m not. I’m here.

- See? - Yeah.

Probably because your ancestors was looking out for you.

Thank you, Aunt Bernice.

And watch your attitude.

Yes, Ma’am.

Pool party, my foot.

Must think I was born yesterday.

Good night, Mama.

Andi, you’re not asleep.

No.

Is everything okay?

Yeah.

I just wanted to check on you before I lay down for the night.

Well, I’m fine.

Thanks for checking on me.

Andi, I really want you and your sister

to try and get along.

You know that your daughter does not make that easy, don’t you?

Can you at least try for me?

Mommy, I will try my best.

But I don’t very well have

the time or energy to babysit a grown-ass woman.

I’m not asking you to babysit a grown-ass woman.

Well, then you would understand

that, with everything I have going on,

I can’t have this huge distraction in my life.

Andi, I know that you have a lot going on,

and I also know that there’s a lot you’re not telling me.

Some things are best not talking about.

You’re scared, Andi, and I feel it.

My uterus is aching right now.

You can’t fool a mother. I know.

A mother always knows.

Mommy, I can handle everything that comes my way.

You taught me that.

- I know that. - I can.

I hear you, but...

Listen, I just...

I like things one at a time.

And right now, it is too much.

With Karen going to Washington, Sabrina is in a coma,

my car blowing up, I almost died, Mother,

and now I gotta bail my sister out of jail?

What?!

Shit.

You had to spring your sister out of the slammer?

Andrea Barnes.

- That slipped out. - That’s obvious.

Okay, Mommy, she did not want me to tell you.

Well, that’s obvious, too.

What is this?

Hide the Truth from Mommy Day?

Mommy...

She just wanted you to focus on your well-being.

Okay? And, honestly, if I wasn’t so tired,

I wouldn’t have let it slip.

It was her news to share.

Well, it slipped because you shouldn’t

have been hiding the truth from me in the first place.

Why was she arrested?

I’m... You know, I think,

I think I should call it a night.

I’m really tired. Um...

You know, she’ll tell you when she’s ready.

You know so good and damn well she’s never gonna tell me

because she didn’t want me to know.

Okay. Maybe that’s a good thing.

I don’t know.

Andi, come on. You gotta tell me--

Mommy. Mommy. Listen.

Either Cheyenne is gonna get it or she won’t.

We can’t save her from herself.

Andi.

I thought, if Cheyenne came here with you,

this would be the new beginning that she needed.

And why does Cheyenne need a new beginning?

My goodness, would you look at the time?

I gotta go to bed.

- Mommy? - Night, boo.

Mommy, why does Cheyenne need a new beginning?

See you in the morning.

Eggs for breakfast.

Roots to Riches, what’s wrong with your edges, girl?

- Wake up, bitch . - Who is this?

It’s Maurice, heffa.

You better be lucky that I am celibate and alone.

I couldn’t sleep.

- Sabrina, huh? - Yeah.

Every time I close my eyes, it’s like I’m seeing her

tangled up in that accident.

Did you go see her at the hospital?

No.

That’s why my mind is just imagining the worst.

Where’s Ivory?

He’s still with Paige.

She must be really upset, huh?

Yeah.

She was the first one to find out,

and she didn’t have any details, so Dylan is filling her in.

Guess with Dylan gone, you feel really lonely, don’t you?

I guess.

At least I could be home with my thoughts and process.

It’s okay.

I was having a weird nightmare anyway.

Really? What about?

Well, I was at the salon, and one of Karen’s clients

was chasing me with a gigantic rat tail comb,

screaming at me to comb out her matted hair.

Every time I reached for that comb,

those big old teeth were shooting me in the eyes,

the face, the lips, everywhere. It went on and on.

Girl. Okay, well, what else happened?

Well, Karen was sitting under the dryer, breastfeeding Faith,

laughing while the lady tormented me,

and Aaron was baptizing the customer

with Roots to Riches at the shampoo bowl.

Girl, you had matted hair,

a shampoo bowl, breastfeeding,

and a... a prat? That sounds like a lot, Pam.

Seems like you ate something spicy

and brought your work home with you.

Are you scared about opening the salon?

Maybe a little. It’s gonna take a lot of work

to make Fresh Start the spot in Atlanta.

Plus, I miss my friend,

even though she was grouchy as hell most of the time.

Girl, she just left. You miss her already?

Yeah, already.

You know, Karen’s the reason why I became an entrepreneur.

That’s fair.

Well, we’re gonna do whatever we can

to make sure that you’re not worried.

We’ll find you some help.

Danni can help.

I just really wanna make Karen proud.

Plus, I’m ready for us to get to the money, honey.

I know that’s right, honey. We gonna figure it out.

Look, go on back to sleep. I’m sorry to wake you.

It’s okay. You need to get some rest.

Do you have an edible to help you sleep?

Child, who you telling? You know they check at the bank.

Drugs tests every week and all that.

I would have edibles down.

They drug test?

- Uh-huh. - That’s sad.

Well, hopefully, you’ll fall asleep.

Good night, Maurice.

Sure wish I could have an edible.

What?

What are you doing, sleeping in the bathtub?

Mom, what are you doing awake?

The meds are making me nauseous.

Why are you in this bathtub?

Because I was tired.

I had to take a nap.

In this cold tub?

It was closer than the bed.

Cheyenne, why do you insist on giving your sister a reason

to not let you stay?

She doesn’t want me here anyways.

What difference does it make?

You guys just have to get to know each other again.

And you have got to stop bulldozing

your way through her house!

All right, Mama.

Cheyenne.

Honey, you have to do better than this.

This can be a new beginning for you.

Who is it?

I said who is it?

It’s Marcus.

Marcus, why are you banging on my door like the po-po?

Well...

You know what I mean.

I just wanted to see you again.

Did we just see each other at the grocery store?

I mean, yeah, but you haven’t

been returning my calls or my texts.

That’s because I thought

we established that I can’t do this right now.

And I said everything I needed to say.

Yeah, but we need to talk.

No, we don’t. This is stupid.

I mean, I can’t stop thinking about you last night, girl.

You really put it on me.

Okay. Um...

I got a lot going on right now.

And I don’t want to do this with you.

- I can’t do this with you. - Just let me in.

Don’t want to keep talking to you from out here.

Good. You should go home

because I don’t want to talk at all, right?

Oh, hey. Just...

- 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.

It takes two people to start something.

Only one to end it.

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 out of...

You out of everyone knows

that my best friend is in a coma right now.

Okay? And, and I, 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.

No. They didn’t do that last night.

Okay, I don’t think you’re hearing me.

You need to go home.

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

- 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 want to be there for you.

I don’t want that.

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

that I, I, I, 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!

You know you want this!

- No! - --!

where do you think you’re going?

Don’t make this hard!

Get off me!

Is this what you want?

- Huh? - Crazy bitch!

Oh! What? This crazy bitch?

Is the-- you think?

-!

- - Get out!

Don’t you come back!

Oh, God.

Will you at least give me

a chance to respond to these allegations, Counselor?

And what could you possibly say to defend yourself, Doctor?

Next on Sistas...

So he’s cute and he’s funny.

Are you single?

Uh, that’s kind of complicated at the moment.

You couldn’t wait to tell Mama

that you had to bail me out of jail!

Oh, see that slipped. That was unintentional.

I need you to tell me the truth.

Were you sexually assaulted?

Oh, my God.
