Donnell's not here yet.
I hope he's okay.

He's pretty reliable.

He showed up to rehearsal
every time,

even though he had done it
a bunch of times.

- He'll be here.
- And what if he isn't?

Then you walk into the ballroom
and show the world

you don't need to be
on the arm of some guy.

What a time
for a social statement.

There you are.

Hi, Dad. Mom.

You look beautiful, darling.

Thanks, Dad.

This is Samantha,
Tyrell's sister.

- Samantha, my parents.
- How do you do.

- You look lovely as well,
Samantha. - Thank you.

I'm glad to see your flight
wasn't delayed, Mom.

Heaven forbid you miss
your daughter's big coming out.

Despite the sarcasm, young lady,

this is an important night
for our family.

We should mingle.

Oh, no.

It's time to line up
for presentation.

He'll be here.

See you inside.

This way.

The ballroom is absolutely
stunning this evening.

It certainly is.

The club did a wonderful job
decorating it.

Excuse me. I'm going to go

and pass our compliments
on to Gabe.

Oh, and for us as well, Daddy.

A fitting setting
to celebrate the women

who have worked so hard

in anticipation
of this special night.

True. I'm just hoping they can
add a little spice tonight.

Cotillions are steeped
in traditions

that go back to the 1890s.

You're making my point, sissy.

And some traditions
are meant to be upheld.

Well, if one of those traditions
is Mother attending,

then I'm glad
they didn't break it.

I can't imagine missing
my great-granddaughter's debut.

Nothing will spoil
this magical evening.

Tonight's gonna be
a dumpster fire.

For real.

? ?

[phone buzzing]

What's up, boss?

I need you
to get to the warehouse.

- What's going on?
- Well, if I knew that,

I wouldn't need you to assess
the situation, now would I?

All right, I'm on it.

Hey. I need my order to go.

MARCEL:
Any activity over there yet?

ELON: Nah.

Not since Jacob walked
the perimeter of the warehouse.

I wish we could see
the entrances from here.

If we can see them,
they can see us.

It's safer this way.

Now, listen, when all
the players are gathered,

Jacob will signal us to send in
the special ops division.

And will our friend
Lia Whitmore be there?

I'll take special pleasure
in seeing her in cuffs.

People don't play me
and get away with it.

No, she's at the hospital,

in a board meeting.

Plainclothes detail is in place.

They'll extract her
when it's time.

We don't want her tipping anyone
off or getting warned off

and take a powder.

Frankly, I'm glad
she's occupied.

Why is that?

'Cause she's close
with the Duprees, man.

The last thing we need
is for her to recognize Jacob,

even if he is in disguise.

Your boy got the jitters for
this being his first major op?

Uh, no, sir.

He's on top of things
like the pro that he is.

You think he's got
that door locked?

I'm sure of it.

Better be right,
cause someone just showed.

Things are about to get started.

JACOB: Stay.

Ren.

REN:
How's your gut, blood boy?

GRAYSON:
It's great. No thanks to you.

Well, next time
don't get out of line.

Put the product
with the rest of the shipment.

Come with me.

Right here.

- You good?
- Not really.

I don't want to be here
with this goes down.

Look, things are handled.

As long as you stay
out the way, you'll be fine.

My stomach's in knots.
How are you not nervous?

Look, when you're in it,
you got to relax

and trust the operation.

Believe me, this bust will
go by smooth with no hiccups.

Slow down, sweetheart.
What is so catastrophic?

Miss Imogene, the chairwoman
of the debutante society...

she's sick and won't be here.

Well, she has staff.

Most were taken out by that bug
that was going around.

Penny, the cotillion
coordinator...

she's the only one
left standing,

and she's terrified
of public speaking.

If we don't find someone
to step up,

- tonight's gonna be...
- A flaming pile of...

We are not gonna
let that happen.

Gather round, ladies,
I have a plan.

Do you know why the Dupree women

have their heads together
like that?

No clue.

I'm just glad that the menfolk
aren't close enough

so that we get roped into
whatever they're cooking.

- [phone chimes]
- Oh.

This is from Tyrell.

Donnell hasn't arrived yet.

Uh-oh.
Samantha must be freaking out.

Oh, Vanessa, a word with you.

Sure. You all look
very handsome this evening.

You're dazzling, as always.

Ever the politician.

I only speak the truth.

- What's going on?
- We were hoping you knew.

Have you heard from Donnell?

And we didn't want to alarm you,
but he isn't here yet.

It's certainly not like Donnell
to go silent

when he knows how nervous
Samantha must be.

I'll reach out to him
and text Deanna as well,

in case he's been
in touch with her.

Try not to worry.
I'll get to the bottom of this.

I'm glad you heeded my call

and will be documenting
this event, huh?

Uncle Ted, yours was
the third call of five.

Oh, and I forgot to, uh, ask you
about Shanice earlier.

Is she here?

Uh, turns out she had to work,
so I let it go.

And I'm not sure
she'd have even come

if she had been available.

That doesn't sound good.

Something you want
to talk about?

Probably not tonight.
Nicole.

This cotillion promises to be
one of the best, doesn't it?

Hopefully.

Mm-hmm.

You want to talk about that?

Donnell, why hasn't anyone
heard from you?

The debutante presentation
is about to start,

and you have a lovely young lady
you promised to escort.

Call or text,
or better yet, show up.

Honey, I'm...
I'm worried about you.

Oh, um...

Sorry for the theatrics.

No, from... from what
I've heard, they're justified.

Donnell still isn't here yet?

He's driving from Banneker...

something he's done
hundreds of times...

but well, I always jump

to worst-case scenarios
ever since Doug...

Lately, I'm just all nerves when
I don't hear from my loved ones.

Totally feel you.

We're starting and Donnell's
not here. What am I gonna do?

Tyrell, I think you should just
escort Samantha.

Circle back
after she's been presented.

And have Francesca
roast me for forever

because my brother
had to escort me?

No. There is no way
we're doing that.

Can you check the ballroom?
Maybe Donnell

got hung up talking
to his mother or something.

Sure.
Be right back.

Ooh. Looks like there's trouble
in paradise. What's the matter,

- your date ditch you?
- Donnell didn't ditch her.

I don't know why
you're surprised.

You ought to be used to it since
your mother ditched you, too.

Uh, actually, Samantha's mother
is sitting at one of the tables.

Who I don't see is your escort,
Nathan. But, knowing him,

he's probably off hitting on
one of the other debs, so...

He is not.

You sure about that? I mean,
they do call him Nate-dawg.

You might want
to tighten his leash

because, uh, old Nate-dawg's

sniffing around
that girl Marggy.

Hello? Hello. May we have
your attention, please?

- I'm Kat Richardson.
- And I'm Chelsea Hamilton.

We are here because,
unfortunately, Miss Imogene

is unable to preside
over tonight's ceremony

due to illness.

KAT:
Miss Imogene was adamant that we move forward

with presenting the remarkable
young women debuting this year.

- She's asked that
former debutantes... - And friends.

KAT:
step up and fill in,

and we are honored
to answer that call.

Although we may need to make
some adjustments along the way,

the ChelseaKat cousins will
keep things running smoothly.

I know from my own experience
as a debutante,

if these young women
have learned anything

over the months
of training and practice,

it's to be flexible

and think on your feet.

We'd like to thank

the Barrington County
Debutante Society,

patrons and parents

for your support tonight
and through the years.

As a debutante who was presented

by this very organization
not so long ago,

I have a deep appreciation

for the history
of this institution,

our culture, and the enduring
roots that inspire this event.

Our mission has always been
to lift as we climb,

to shape a broader
and more accurate understanding

of our community,

and to serve
with generosity and grace,

celebrating education, service,
integrity, and deportment.

Now, I think it's time
to introduce

these young women
to polite society.

Well, we have guests here
who may be wondering

what we mean by that term.

Is that being stuffy
or too formal?

Not at all.
It just means

being able
to walk into any room,

partake in any conversation,
dine at any restaurant,

and know that
you'll feel comfortable.

It's about being knowledgeable,
tactful and, most of all,

showing respect and
encouraging smooth interactions.

Well, Kat, that was great,
but may I tactfully say

I think you shuffled the cards?

KAT:
I did?

I was never a debutante,
but as most of you know,

I roll with the punches.

So, listen carefully, debs,

because you're no longer
going in rehearsed order.

- [murmuring]
- Come... Oh, my God.

Presenting Skyy Collins.

You got this, girl.

Go, girl. Go, girl.

You look so beautiful.

CHELSEA:
Sky is being escorted by Treyvon Toussaint.

Sky is the daughter...

Donnell's phone's going
straight to voicemail.

Deanna isn't answering either.

You should be ready
to go up there, but, Martin...

I will follow Samantha's lead.
If she's good on her own, fine,

but if she needs me,
I'll be there.

CHELSEA:
working diligently

to move dogs
on the euthanasia list

into loving homes.

Skyy is proud to say she has
re-homed more than 25 dogs.

Presenting Kimora Stephens.

Kimora is being escorted
by Jordan Foster.

Kimora is the daughter
of Alina and Clinton Stephens.

She is currently a senior...

I really hope Samantha isn't
as nervous as I am right now.

Right now she's probably
just feeling excited, okay?

She plans to pursue
a degree in education studies

at Spelman College.

- He's still not here.
- It'll be okay.

You don't need him.

Tonight is about you anyway.

KAT:
Presenting Samantha Richardson-Smith.

You got this.

Sorry I'm late.

You're right on time.

Ladies and gentlemen,

Samantha Richardson-Smith.

CHELSEA:
Samantha is being escorted by Donnell McBride.

She is the daughter
of Congressman Martin Richardson

and journalist Bradley Smith.

Her mother is June Hughes.

For her service project,

Samantha ensured
community health

by envisioning and volunteering

at the Phoenix Street
Free Clinic,

which works in association
with Garland Memorial Hospital.

She will continue
attending Forten

until her graduation next year.

Her hope is to use
influencing skills

to put kindness and goodwill
into the world.

Presenting
Francesca Belleclaire.

Francesca is being escorted
by Nathan Maffee.

Francesca is the granddaughter
of Anastasia Belleclaire.

After three years
at the prestigious

Swiss boarding school,
Institut du Valmontreaux,

Francesca is now a senior
at Wheatley Prep

and maintains a 3.2 GPA.

Francesca participated
in the beautification

of the Belleclaire
Botanical Gardens

by hosting a fundraiser

which raised
thousands of dollars.

Francesca will attend
Banneker University in the fall.

Presenting Jessica Harris.

Jessica is escorted
by Tyrell Richardson-Smith.

She is a senior

where she excels with a 4.0 GPA.

For her service project,

Jessica instructed children
and teens in the practice

of conflict resolution

at the Garland Memorial
Child-Mind Center.

Jessica will proudly attend UCLA
in the fall,

studying at the Burkle Center
for International Relations.

- Oh.
- [crowd gasps, laughs, murmuring]

Now, that girl's got some spice.

Boss man. Got a bogey. Found him
lurking around the warehouse.

Want me to take him off
to patrol?

No, we know him.
Get in the back, Randy.

Good work.
Get back to your post.

You got an explanation
for being at this

particular warehouse tonight?

Yeah. I was just walking around,
you know,

minding my Black business,

trying to find a nice spot
to enjoy my turkey wrap.

Yeah. What's wrong...

Orphey Gene's booths
not good enough for you?

- Come on, man. I'm hungry.
- Yeah, so am I.

For a reasonable explanation.

And I know that you know
something is going down tonight.

And old Joey swore
he had nothing to do

with the Red Market,
yet here you are.

So, either he lied

or you moonlighting for one of
these other criminals involved.

Damn, we got trouble
coming our way.

What the hell are you
doing here, man?

- You got to get out of here.
- I'm not going anywhere

until someone tells me
what's going on.

Damn it, man.
This isn't some game.

Do you ever stop
trying to rescue people?

Are you in trouble?
Why do you look like that?

It's called being undercover.

I'm a cop. I'm at work.
How did you...

- You followed Grayson?
- Yeah, but I couldn't get in

'cause someone
was watching the door,

but I mean, as soon
as that guy got distracted,

- I was able to walk right in.
- Derek, you got to get out of here.

That guy's probably back by now.
Is he a cop, too?

I won't know for sure
until I check it out for myself.

But just... just stay hidden

until I give you the all clear
that you're good to go.

And what if
somebody sees me leaving?

Well, then I'll make up
a cover story if I need to

about why you're here.
In the meantime,

stay the hell out of sight.

REN:
Yo, Rashad, you good?

JACOB:
Oh, yeah. Everything good, boss.

I was just checking around.
All clear.

I'm gonna make a path
for the supply,

move some boxes around,

make sure everything
look nice for the VIPs.

Yeah, you do that.

Tell me what you know.

I caught Grayson sealing plasma

from the free clinic,
and he said he was

working with you,
which made no sense.

I didn't believe him.

But Grayson said that Ashley
could be in danger

at the hospital, so I...

I had to see for myself
what was going on.

Jacob, I swear to God,
if something happens

to her, I'll kill him.

You made a bad move by coming
here, and I need you gone.

So, when I say the word,

I open the door,
and you get out of here.

LIA:
Look alive, people.

REN:
What? I thought you couldn't be here tonight.

I ducked out
of my board meeting early,

told them I had an emergency.

As far as they know,
I'm still at the hospital.

- Look, you don't
have to be here. - I couldn't miss

this meeting with the folks
who call the shots.

There's too much money
to be made.

I'm not leaving
anything to chance.

Grayson, you're gonna
walk the VIPs

through the key points
of why the clinic

is such a viable option,

how easy it is
to access cold storage,

how much product
is kept on hand,

lack of security.

No more, no less. Got it?

Yup. Just the facts.

Mm. That's one troublemaker
taken care of.

Is the other one
still on the payroll?

You mean Rashad?

Ever since I knocked
some sense into him,

he's been toeing the line.
He won't be a problem.

I'll make sure of it.
Where is he?

He's over there.

We are the deb and the diva.

Can you tell which one's which?

We are here to introduce
an integral aspect

of the cotillion.

The waltz.

Now, Miss Imogene would tell you
that the waltz

isn't just a dance
done in three-quarter time.

It is a choreographed expression
of the lessons learned

by the beautiful young women
who participate in cotillion.

Poise, etiquette
and social graces.

Ladies and gentlemen,

presenting our 2026 debutantes

and their escorts.

Don't worry, Tyrell,
you'll be great.

As June would say,
from your lips to God's ear.

Don't worry, if you mess up,
I'll just start twerking.

? ?

? ?

? ?

? ?

[music ends]

Hi, baby.

So beautiful.

Yeah.

- Okay, okay.
- Come on.

Your curtsy was flawless,
not a wobble to be seen.

Your waltz was divine.

Okay, let the proud grandparents
get a turn, okay?

- Okay, all right.
- MARTIN: Come on.

SAMANTHA:
Grandma...

Oh, sweetheart,
I couldn't be more proud.

Thank you, Grandma.

You were a vision
gliding across the dance floor.

Thank you, Grandpa.
Could you tell I was nervous?

Not at all.

No, that's a little
too ordinary. Uh...

You know what?
I have a better idea.

Uh, Samantha, why don't you
step to the side

and let your grandmother
and grandfather

- stay on the other side?
- Okay.

Oh, I-I don't know about...

I like that idea.

ANDRE:
Come on.

All right, just like that.

Right here.

[phone buzzing]

Andre, would you just get one
of Samantha and me?

Go ahead.

- Excuse me.
- Mm-hmm.

Anita, thank you for extending
such kindness to our daughter.

Jessica couldn't stop talking
about being in the presence

of the Anita Williams
and Senator Dupree.

Oh, no thanks necessary.
I was glad to help.

Jessica is a very intelligent
and thoughtful young woman.

She and Tyrell
are a wonderful match.

- Thank you.
- Thank you.

Excuse me. Hey, can I get
some pictures of you two?

- Step over here.
- I'll tell you later.

- Sorry.
- It's okay.

All right. And congratulations
on getting into UCLA, Jessica.

I'm not thinking
about college tonight.

Or any night
for a couple of months.

I'm just living every day
as it goes by.

Jessica, you behaved
like some-some video vixen

instead of the cultured
young woman this entire endeavor

was intended to showcase.
I'm furious with you.

You're an embarrassment
to this family.

Tyrell, over here.

Did you have fun, June?

Fun?
I'm over the moon.

Do I look like a peacock?

I couldn't be more prouder
of the two of you.

Tyrell, you clean up very nice.

You are one handsome fella.

And thank you for including me
in the introductions.

SAMANTHA:
Of course.

ANDRE:
Ah, that's great.

You have got to communicate
with me, Donnell.

I'm sorry. I-I got a flat,
and I was already running late,

so I didn't want to waste time
by calling or texting.

You're not a waste of time, Mom.
You're not.

Hey. Have you heard
from Jacob lately?

I haven't. Um...

I'm sure he's just
handling business.

He'll reach out when he can.

Just can't wait
for him to be home.

Okay, top cop, so what
are you boys doing out here?

Y'all expecting some kind
of trouble or something?

Shut the hell up.

Listen here, Temu,
I ain't forgot about you.

Now, if I'm gonna be
an innocent bystander,

I need to know
what the hell's going on.

You want to spend the night
in the tank? Keep talking.

That certain someone
we weren't expecting.

That's probably
in there right now.

Yeah, you said you heard me,
but what exactly did I say?

Don't change the drop location.

Or do anything else that has you
going off half-cocked.

You guys get paid good money,
why is it so damn hard

to get decent help?

And don't you mumble anything to
any of the VIPs, is that clear?

Lift your head.

And lift up the hat.

Do it.

Jacob Hawthorne.

This isn't my operation.
I was forced into this.

If you give me a deal,
I will fully cooperate.

REN:
Yo, we got a rat that needs to be exterminated.

That was a contact
from the prosecutor's office.

You was always the weakest link.

You about to find out
what happen when you squeal.

Rashad, take care of this one.

Want to dance?

No, thank you, Nathan.

But you can dance
with your date, Francesca.

I noticed that you haven't been
spending a lot of time with her.

Why you got to be such a bitch?

I've had enough of your B.S.

If you ever diss
my sister again,

I will knock you on your ass.

Oh, so the chess nerd thinks
he knows how to throw a punch.

You want to try me?

I'm got gonna let you turn this
cotillion into a cage match.

Man, I could knock
that chess chump out.

I actually doubt you could've
done that. Get out of here.

There's a time and a place
to work out your aggressions.

But I'm proud of you
for standing up for your sister.

I'm sorry, um...

- Would you mind
snapping our photo? - Oh, yeah.

Sorry. My parents
are waiting for us.

Glamma, this is totally cringe.

Oh, I hated the way the Duprees
took over the entire cotillion.

I mean, what were we supposed
to do, announce ourselves?

I suppose not.

But they always find a way to
get themselves front and center.

This was my night.

I mean, your night to shine.

Just give me your phone.

You texting work?

No. Uh...

- It's a personal thing.
- Oh. Shanice?

No.

Are you having
a good time tonight?

I'm having "I need
a straight answer," Dad.

Unless you're
dating someone else,

all the important women
in your life are here tonight.

Uh... Not all of them.

Oh. Eva.

I was just letting
my other daughter know

that I heard a lot
of people complimenting

Samantha and Jessica's hair.

I'm glad she was included
in the cotillion prep.

Hey, if things were different,

you and Eva might have
debuted together.

Have you seen
your mother recently?

She was on the phone
a minute ago.

I was just about to grab her.

They'll be crowning
the platinum deb soon.

Okay, uh, I'll go check on her.

You stay here
with Samantha, okay?

Yes, an officer will arrive.

I've spoken to them directly.

I promise they will be there
to protect you.

Hold on a second, okay?

- Ted, my patient...
- Go.

The whole Dupree family's
here for Samantha.

Chelsea's recording.

I'll let 'em know
why you had to leave. Go.

Okay. Thank you.

I'm on my way, okay?

What are you doing back here?

Mind your own business.

I can smell that liquor
on your breath from here.

I really hope
you're not driving later.

Lighten up.
It's a party.

Cheers.

Let's get out of here.

You think your pop's P.O.'d now?

If we leave before
they announce platinum deb,

your pops is gonna
really breathe fire.

Let him.
Vying for a title

reeks of
respectability politics.

So, what do you want to do?

Finish what we started
the other day.

I mean, all the parental units
are stationed here,

so no one
will interrupt us tonight.

And I know the perfect place.

Let's book.

Damn.

I forgot, Pop put
a security detail on me.

Follow me. I'm a pro
at sneaking out unseen.

It's unfortunate
Nicole had to leave,

but this has been
a wonderful evening, hasn't it?

Oh, indeed.

We have so many blessings
to count.

Gran.

It's time to crown
the platinum deb.

I don't see Tyrell
with the other escorts.

Have you seen him?

He's probably in the restroom.

Jessica.
Where'd she go?

I'm sure she's off
doing something to embarrass me

more than she already has.

Hello, everyone.
I'm Anita Dupree.

Thank you. You're too kind.
You're too kind.

This evening's theme,
"Our Time to Thrive,"

is a powerful one.

And I am confident
that these young ladies

are ready to go out
into the world

and make a difference.

And now, it is my pleasure

to introduce
a former platinum debutante

who will crown
this year's recipient,

Deanna McBride.

Deanna is the daughter
of Vanessa McBride

and the late Dr. Doug McBride.

She is currently attending
Banneker University.

Please welcome

Platinum Debutante 2023
Deanna McBride.

I was honored when
the committee reached out

and asked me to return.

Participating in cotillion
is an experience

that I will always treasure

and a defining highlight
in my life.

The crowning
of the platinum debutante

is a culminating moment
in this year's season,

not just for the young woman
who is crowned,

but for all of the sisters
on the journey with her.

A journey that will have
a profound impact on the lives

of family, community
and friends for years to come.

Step away from Ren.

What?

Over here.

What the hell you got going on?

Put your hands up.

You, too, Rashad?

You a rat?

Take your weapon out slowly,
set it on the ground,

and kick it over to me.

Let's go.

[gun softly clatters]

[gun skitters on floor]

The warehouse is surrounded,
so don't try to run.

You're under arrest. Turn around
and get down on your knees.

All of you were traitors?

Man, I'm-a hunt
each and every one of you down

and make your lives a living
hell if I have to.

- Turn around!
- You will pay for this!

- JACOB: You're under arrest!
- REN: You ain't a cop!

Huh?!

- [boxes clattering]
- [gunshot]

Shots fired! Shots fired!
Move in! Move in!

Guns down!

- Guns down!
- All right.

Hands up.

Come here, come here.
On your knees.

Come on, man.

You know the drill.

You got the right
to remain silent.

Anything you say...
