Arson? What the hell is going on?

Put a stop to it.

It's out of my hands now.

I'm calling in that favor.

How will your program survive

if you can't afford to plant next season?

I mean, it wasn't a total loss.

You forced people to work in a hurricane.

You cost two men their lives.

I've lost my family.

And I you to help Charley,
Ralph Angel, and bless Nova

and keep her safe.

Amen.

[SOBS]

You all right, ma'am?

Yeah.

Sure you don't want to take a break,

get a coffee,

clear your head from
whatever's bothering you?

Well, clearing my head isn't...

Isn't exactly what I want to do.

Because then I'd have to think,
and I don't want to think.

I got man problems,

bill problems,

kid problems, sister problems.

Oh, yeah, and I'm freaking
running for office.

[LAUGHS]

In New Orleans?

No.

No. But still, genius, right?

You're running for office.

Mm-hmm.

And if you leave here,
if you're not careful,

you're gonna see
a lot of people out there

who might recognize you.

And the later in the morning it gets,

the more packed it gets.

Nova Bordelon.

Miss Martha.

Thank you for allowing me to come.

I don't fool with folks
unless their soul's

been cleansed, which means I don't fool

with folks in general too often.

But we're family, Nova.

Ah!

You are the spitting image of your mama.

And those eyes...

I see nothing but Lavoisier
blood in those eyes.

- This is for you.
- Oh!

Oh! [LAUGHS]

Impepho! Oh!

Oh, Africa's sacred herb.

Trudy used this in
mostly used this in most

of our medicinals and smudges.

It was a favorite of hers.

I had a hard time finding your place, but

it all feels so familiar.

Well, it should.

I've been here before?

When you were about 3 years old,

you ran all over this yard
wearing out your poor mama.

Wow.

I-I don't remember that... at all.

I'm sure there are many things
you don't quite remember.

Come on. I'll make us some tea.

[LAUGHS]

What?!

[LAUGHS]

Country ham, red-eye gravy,
grits, scrambled eggs,

fancy biscuits and that

rhubarb strawberry jam you like so much.

You ain't got to tell me twice.

Yes.

[LAUGHS]

So, may I ask, what's the occasion?

I got something on my mind
that I think I should tell you.

You know you can tell me anything.

It's about Jimmy Dale.

I know you was protecting me.

But I can't get the image
of you beatin' him

out of my head.

You went somewhere that day,
and the look in your eyes, I...

I... I scared you.

[SIGHS]

But your right, Vi, I was protecting you.

I know.

And I know that you would never hurt me.

But the first time I saw
Jimmy Dale get violent,

it wasn't with me.

It was with this fool of a man

who was trying to talk
to me in the streets.

That's how all this started.

- If somebody coming at you...
- No, no, I know.

Baby, I'm just trying to get back to us.

I'm trying to fix this.

And I know that what I'm saying right now

ain't fair.

But I can't shake it.

Okay, well, how do I fix this?

It's not for you to fix.

I think I got

some work I need to do on myself
when it comes to Jimmy Dale.

I never dealt with it,

and I'm learning things don't go away

just because you ignore them.

- Morning, pops.
- Morning, Blue.

Okay, let's make a deal here.

No granola today, please.

But today's granola day.

Yeah, but can I just have a little bit of

the sugar stars mixed in?

Joie has sugar stars every day.

That's what she tell you.

But I doubt her mama letting it
go down like that.

Did you call joie's mom
and set up a play date?

Not yet. There's a lot going on.

- Pops.
- I'm gonna call today.

I promise.

Joie's all he could talk about all night.

If you're too busy, I can
call him and set up a play date.

What's her name?

Oh, Miss Deesha...
She's really nice, mom.

You'll like her.

There granola waiting for you inside.

Okay.

Ain't got too much time, Blue.

Deesha is Joie's mom.

You didn't tell me.

It's not a big deal, Darla.

It's a big deal to me.

When I saw you two together...

Deesha knew that I was
Blue's mother and your ex,

but I didn't know that she's not
only both your new woman

but the mother of Blue's best friend.

I mean, why wouldn't I want to know this?

You said you don't want to talk

about those kind of things
with each other.

So I didn't.

I know things different...

You seeing somebody, me seeing somebody.

It's new.

But just... Just got to know

I ain't never gonna do
something just to hurt you.

I'm really just doing my best.
