[chuckles]
Yo, you put your whole foot in that dinner.
Whatever the name is, with the garlic and lemon.
Chicken piccata.
See, back in the day, I'd have called it fancy lemon chicken,
but now I'm well-fed and cultured,
all 'cause of you.
Mm, don't be modest.
You be throwing down in the kitchen, too.
[laughs]
You know how it-
Uh...
Baby, you skipped a step.
What?
You put a dirty plate on the rack
without even washing it.
My bad. I-I wasn't thinking.
Hey, talk to me.
Everything good?
[sighs] I sure hope so.
What are you worried about?
What else?
Mama possibly showing her whole entire ass
during one of the most important moments of Anita Dupree's life.
[door closes]
DANI [singsongy]: We're here!
Mother, just know, initially, I had planned to give you space.
But then I called.
Said if I didn't join her,
she would ask twice as many questions.
I don't want some watered-down version over tea tomorrow.
I want the tea while it is piping hot.
[chuckles] Okay, okay, have a seat, have a seat.
So, this session lived up to your hopes?
Sweetheart...
...it was transcending.
Oh, I'm sorry, Ms. Thomas. We got to lock up, so...
May I have a few more minutes, please?
-Of course. No problem. -Thank you.
[breath trembles]
I felt you, Mama.
You were right here.
Shining your bright, beautiful light.
[exhales slowly]
[chuckles]
? ?
[knock on door]
-Hi, Dad. -Hey.
Thanks for coming by after hours.
I hope you didn't have to cancel any plans.
Well, that would require having plans,
and Jacob's working late tonight.
But I was gonna stop at Gran's
to get the scoop on her recording session,
and your office happened to be on the way.
So what's going on?
Uh, you know, I just thought we should discuss
the call I had with the state's attorney's office.
-For the security footage in Smitty's case? -Mm-hmm.
Sure, we can discuss that, right after you tell me
the real reason you asked me to come.
I couldn't have staged a better ultrasound myself.
Bill was sprung.
Meanwhile, all I heard was...
[imitates heartbeat]: Cha-ching. Cha-ching. Cha-ching.
[laughs]
[sighs]
Yep, I'm using some old contracts from the firm
to draw up one of my own.
It's to give Bill full custody of that brat-to-be
and me full custody of his bank account.
-Martin got the "W." -Mm.
I know you're proud.
-How's it feel? -Well, no credit here.
All I contributed was a few phone calls to donors,
and you probably helped more than I did.
-Campaign photographer. -Eh.
Yeah, I did have a front-row seat
to Martin's campaign trail.
Hey, the people really love him.
Yeah, you know, my son has inherited his grandfather's
-gift to inspire people. -Mm-hmm.
That and to rise above whatever gets thrown at him.
Yeah. Oh, like that...
that viral video of Smitty that his opponent leaked.
[sighs] Yeah.
You know, after a brutal campaign,
a lot of bad media coverage, I just hope Smitty and Martin
get a quiet night at home, you know?
-Yeah. -They've-they've earned it.
I've been looking forward to this night.
What's that?
Your favorite Thai.
Oh.
What?
You cooked?
Lobster ravioli.
Well, I attempted lobster ravioli.
Rowena still holds her culinary ground.
I want to be honest.
I don't care if a cardboard box was on the menu.
A drama-free night with my man?
Nothing can ruin this night.
Devon Winters is something else.
That man immediately knew what we were going for.
He didn't try to modernize it or shave off the rough edges.
He-he honored our-our sound
and still brought something fresh to it.
And Sharon and Tracy?
Sharon and Tracy are so taken with him,
they're already talking about him
producing the next album.
[laughter]
What did it feel like to be back in the booth?
Exhilarating doesn't even begin to describe it.
But I will admit,
I am spent.
That session took a lot out of me.
So much so, I had to bow out of drinks
with your dad and the Winters.
Well, then we should go.
Yeah, Pamela's blowing up my phone anyway.
If I don't call her back soon, she'll track my location.
And I have to go talk to Martin.
Tonight? Nicole.
Can't he just have 24 hours to bask in the glow of his victory?
I didn't even want to wait this long.
Every hour that passes without my son knowing
about Hayley's blackmail attempt,
that makes me feel like I'm doing to him...
...what you and Daddy did to me.
-DANI: Sissy, that's not fair. -I am not
throwing shade.
It took me a minute.
A little longer than a minute, to be honest.
But I do understand why you and Daddy
kept what happened on that country road a secret.
But Martin is my son.
I know what he needs.
Of course. Go.
-Handle your business. -Congratulations.
[laughter]
No news is good news, okay?
If Leslie acted up,
don't you think you would've heard by now?
Or no news means everyone's too shaken up to text.
You told me you managed to be chill with Kat earlier.
Seems like she would have at least reached out.
Oh, yeah, she would have been the first one to call.
Accusations flying, curses flooding my texts.
Or maybe she'd tell you 'cause she knows you'd be worried.
That's cute, babe. But nah.
Kat and I had half a second when hell didn't freeze over,
but if Mama acted out,
she will call to rub it in my face.
Things still good with you and Dani?
They are, ever since
we sat down and had a real conversation about Bill.
-Hmm. -No more dancing around it.
Even with this Hayley business stirring the pot?
Yeah.
But I get why you're skeptical.
Hayley being pregnant takes this messy situation
to a whole nother altitude.
Okay, Dani did go by to check on Bill, uh,
a few days ago, but then
she came home and she told me exactly why she went.
Okay. Did you believe her?
I did.
You know, Uncle Ted, I think that Dani is finally done
needing to ride to Bill's rescue.
You sound almost convinced. I hope you're right.
[phone chimes]
Speaking of exes, Nicole needs to talk.
[phone chimes]
Tonight.
Guess it's urgent.
Uh-huh. What did you do now?
Excuse me. I didn't realize I was interrupting dinner.
You aren't. Uh, Andre was just about to go punish himself
in the gym.
Right. Right.
Um, I am actually overdue for a sweat session.
Well, your wife came over to the club as well.
-We were both at Mother's. -Okay.
My wife's here, too? Even better.
Excuse me.
Your text sounded serious.
You are not in the doghouse,
if that is what you're worried about.
Well, uh, is it Anita? Is she okay?
She is walking on air.
She recorded with the Articulettes today.
-Ah. -With Barbara's vocals.
It's been a long time coming. Good for her.
So what's up?
I am on my way to go talk to Martin.
About why Bill...
dropped the charges against Hayley,
and I would like it if his dad was there when I did it.
-Tonight? -Tonight.
Nicole, our son just went through hell
trying to get reelected.
He's been under a storm cloud for weeks.
Don't you think he deserves a breather?
Mother made the same argument.
Because timing matters.
So does honesty.
Martin stood in front of all of his constituents
and asked them to believe in due process,
integrity and transparency.
That is what he built his entire campaign around.
Meanwhile, his mother is sitting on information
that directly affects him.
No, I am not gonna do that to my son.
I think I'll march over there and give him
a piece of my mind right now.
[chuckles] I'll let you know how it goes.
Andre.
What's Bill done now?
I mean, there was no ulterior motive.
I've been buried with work.
I just simply forgot to have Caroline
add a follow-up to the calendar.
Convenient.
Do you want to hear what the state's attorney
had to say or not?
Lay it on me.
The file with Smitty's alleged meeting
with his source was corrupted.
Yeah, I knew it. Yes, I knew it. I knew it.
And the prosecutor's office is gonna send you
another copy of the file.
Okay, well, I'll believe that
when it lands in my inbox with the right chain of custody.
But thank you. Thank you for calling.
And thank you for looking out for me.
Of course, baby.
And, as promised, it won't cost you a thing.
I know you had your doubts.
Dad, you're the one that taught me to be skeptical
when an offer seems too good to be true.
Yeah, when it comes to life.
Not when it comes to your own father.
You also taught me how to read a witness.
So I'm gonna ask you again.
Why did you ask me to come?
Because, Naomi, the update...
No, Dad, please don't make me ask again.
Okay. You got me.
[sighs heavily]
Well, I, um...
This isn't easy for me to say.
I know we've had our bumps.
Some felt like sinkholes, and not that long ago.
But we're in a good place now,
so whatever it is you want to say, you can say it.
Please.
I don't like being alone.
Hey. Where's the baby?
Oh, that oversized drool bucket was hurting my hip.
I wasn't carrying that thing another step.
Left it with Caroline.
"It"?
I really wish you wouldn't refer to our child that way.
And here we go.
Look, I am so tired of your constant commentary
on my parenting.
Well, if your parenting was anywhere remotely close to par,
I wouldn't have any.
"Don't give the baby cheeseburgers."
"Don't skip the pediatrician."
Look, this...
was your idea.
You insisted that I have an active role in its life.
Well, congratulations.
This is as active as I get.
You know what? I'm not doing this.
I want sole custody. You're a horrible mother.
The hell I am.
[baby crying]
Stick a lollipop in its mouth!
That'll shut it up!
My God.
You know, I'll do just about anything to get
my baby away from you.
Hmm. Well, that's funny you should say that.
You put a price on our child?
Who says you can't buy love?
I mean, I love money.
You love that baby.
Look, just sign this contract, and we both get what we want.
Did I mention you'll never have to see me again?
[typing]
Thank you for cooking and making things feel normal again.
Yeah, I did use to cook a lot more, didn't I?
Back when I didn't have to work.
When you were dangerously close to becoming
the DMV's most overqualified househusband.
I didn't mind it back then, either.
Obviously, I wanted to go back to work, but...
there's something peaceful about being home.
And then I dove back into it, and look where that got me.
-Babe, don't. -No, you warned me.
No- And I was wrong.
Your reporting has changed lives.
If I'm convicted, our lives are gonna change, too.
No, no.
I will not allow tomorrow's problems
to ruin today's peace.
Movie?
Up for a friendly debate?
You're worried about his nightmares.
Vernon handled the problem.
Maybe this is one drama we don't need to manage.
Rebuttal?
By all means.
Hayley is a loose cannon.
I know everyone thinks that she is contained,
and I do trust Daddy's instincts,
but Hayley walked away with a lot less money
than she bargained for.
When that well runs dry, what happens then?
There's no physical evidence.
She still has a mouth.
One anonymous tip to a reporter takes, what, 30 seconds?
Her pregnancy is a factor.
Which makes her even more unpredictable.
Martin needs to be prepared.
And what would you rather have, us tell him on our terms tonight
or Hayley whenever it best suits her?
I thought I'd bring you a cocktail.
How did you know?
Things got heated at the photo shoot.
The photo shoot. Ah. Right.
Um, baby, I-I forgot you had that.
But your mind went where I think it did?
No.
-No. -For the millionth time,
I am no longer Bill's savior.
I'm sorry for doubting you.
You can pay me back.
You know that fire I mentioned?
What about it?
-You, hubby... -Mm-hmm?
...are just the firefighter I need.
I wanted today to be special.
Barbara was basically a Wikipedia page to Mama.
Like, she knew what happened to her,
but she just didn't know her.
And then Mama heard Barbara's voice
singing "Happy Birthday" on that recording,
and then something shifted.
Mama showed a glimpse of herself
that she keeps hidden from everyone else.
Like she finally didn't have to wear her armor.
Mm. That's the Leslie you keep being drawn to.
The vulnerable side you want other people to know.
I just hope that woman went to the studio today
and she left the hot mess version at home.
Come on in.
Well, forgive me if I'm still guarded.
Goodwill from the Duprees isn't something I'm accustomed to.
Well, let's try not to make a spectacle of it.
Look...
you and I will never be friends, and I'm good with that.
But today, you did what I asked.
And as a token of my appreciation,
I want you to have this.
[Leslie's breath trembles]
Look at her.
Oh. [chuckles]
-Okay. Leslie. -[crying softly]
Leslie, let go.
Okay. It's just that, um...
[sighs]
[chuckles]
Thank you.
Leslie, wait.
There's one more thing.
[door closes]
Oh, no, Anita.
I... [clears throat] I couldn't.
It was hers,
and now it should be yours.
[clears throat]
Well, do you have the others?
Of course. All three.
Okay, well, please,
just keep... them together.
Barbara and her girls.
Are you sure?
Positive.
I know you'll keep it safe.
Thank you, Anita.
Thank you.
[door closes]
I went home the other day
and walked through the front door, and...
it just hit me.
You know, for the first time in I don't know how long...
...I was alone. You know?
No one in the kitchen. No one calling from upstairs.
I can imagine how bizarre
-that felt for you. -Yeah.
Now, your mom's been with me
since the beginning of my career.
And then I went from one marriage to another
without ever once having to sit with the silence. You know?
And, baby, that silence, it's... it's loud.
So I stay late, come in on weekends and...
...make excuses to see my daughter after business hours.
Well, Dad, remember, you're not the only one
who has been through this.
When Jacob was undercover,
our routine turned into a solo act.
I would reach for my phone to check on him,
and then I'd remember that I couldn't even do that.
Every morning, I would put out two cups of coffee
without even thinking.
And then, when I'd catch myself, the reality would just hit me,
and it just sucked.
Yeah, it does.
But you're gonna get through this, Dad.
And maybe you might grow into liking living alone.
-That sounds ambitious. -[laughs]
But that house is truly yours now.
I mean, take advantage of that.
Turn your man cave into a-a wing.
Drink beer in your boxers. I don't know.
[laughs]
-I'm already doing that. -Okay, well, there you go.
Thank you for putting things in perspective, baby girl.
I know talking about your feelings isn't easy,
but just know that my door is always open.
And so is Chelsea's.
Well, I'm a very fortunate man.
I have two beautiful daughters
who, despite my mistakes, still love me.
-Always, Dad. -Yeah.
[laughs]
-Always. -Always.
[sighs heavily]
Ugh.
I'll be glad when I can enjoy a real drink.
? ?
HAYLEY: This is an investment
for my future.
Good morning, Ms. Lawson.
A glorious morning.
Yes.
You look radiant.
Mm. See, that's what a life with no stress
-does for the skin. -Indeed.
Please.
What in the entire hell?
Hello, Dani.
What are you doing back in Fairmont Crest?
Oh, walking, breathing, living the dream.
Just answer the damn question.
After Bill paid me a million per pound for that baby,
I traveled to Europe.
Good for you. Now get out.
See, here's the thing.
You know, I made myself a promise
that one day I'd return with the sole purpose
of rubbing my success in your face.
You're delusional.
My daddy had you banned.
Oh, girl, that old fart's power
is just as shriveled up as he is.
That's how my daddy- sugar daddy, that is-
was able to buy Fairmont Crest outright.
Excuse me?
He's renaming it, too.
Hayleyville.
Which means I decide who comes and goes.
Guess which bucket you're in.
The Duprees' reign of terror is over.
They're officially persona non grata.
Every last one of them.
[applause]
[gasps]
[sobbing]
Let them eat French toast.
Hey, I-I suddenly have a craving for French toast.
I agreed to be on camera during Tia's interview to support you.
That doesn't mean that I've changed my mind about modeling.
There you go, jumping to conclusions again.
I don't need a model.
I need a photographer.
Ah. Because your photographer...?
Broke up with our main girl.
Apparently, there was a ring light thrown into a koi pond.
Anyway, long story short,
he refuses to be in the same space as her.
Sounds messy.
Yeah, well, if we don't do this photo shoot,
then the photos don't get to the sponsor in time,
which means our agency takes a huge hit.
We eat the cost, a significant cost because
Pamela and I agreed to partially cover the shoot.
And then our reputation with the client is shot.
Baby, say less. Whatever helps.
-Wow. -Yeah.
That was quick.
And I was about to give you a bonus.
Mm.
-To be clear... -Mm-hmm?
...that wasn't it. [laughs]
Yeah, felt more like a deposit anyway.
[laughing]
[phone chimes]
Oh, shoot.
-What is it? -Um, it's Naomi.
She wants to meet after she sees Mother.
Ah.
Well, you originally weren't gonna go anyway,
so see what Naomi wants, and I'll handle the shoot.
Do you know I love you?
[chuckles] And do you know that it's returned?
-Mm, I do. -Mm.
There's my grandbaby.
And the biggest Articulettes fan ever.
I need details, all of them.
Well, your mother and auntie got the broad strokes,
so I've been saving all the juicy bits for you.
Ooh!
All the hard work I did paid off.
My voice was up to the challenge.
And when our four voices harmonized, it just...
it just sounded so right.
That's amazing.
-Like no time has passed. -Mm-hmm.
Oh, and, uh, Leslie?
Was on her best behavior.
-Really? -Mm.
-Wow. I'm impressed. -[chuckles]
It was so...
magical.
[sighs]
-? Gotta get it? -? Gotta get it?
? Gotta get it, come on?
-? Gotta get it? -? Gotta get it?
? Gotta get it, come on?
-? Gotta get it? -? Gotta get it?
-? Gotta get it, come on...? -[sound stops]
Movie hasn't even started yet,
-and you're already getting handsy. -[laughs]
All right, all right, I'll pace myself.
You're the one that said movie.
Just like back when we were dating.
When "movie" was code for something else?
What can I say? I love cinema.
I wanted to see this together when it first came out,
but you were chained to the campaign.
Plus, you loved the first Devil Wears Prada.
When I was younger, I thought it was funny.
But now when I think about Miranda Priestly
terrorizing her staff...
[sighs] ...I get it.
Really? You? Mr. Man of the People?
Look, I love my staff,
but sometimes managing people is exhausting.
Everyone needs answers, quotes, signatures.
So you identify with Miranda Priestly.
That is both disturbing and strangely on-brand.
[chuckles]
Maybe that's what you need.
Somebody to boss you around for a little bit.
-Is that so? -Yeah.
Then try it.
Congressman Richardson...
kiss me.
Okay, you know what? Movie is over.
[laughs]
We are going upstairs.
-This shirt. Wait a sec. -[knock on door]
-[sighs] -[sighs heavily]
Hold that thought. Don't go anywhere.
[door opens]
Hey, Ted and Nicole.
Mom, Dad, this is a surprise.
Sorry to intrude.
You did mention that you were grabbing takeout
when we were texting earlier,
so I assumed you were in for the night.
Son, uh, you missed one.
-Oh. -NICOLE: Oh, no. I'm really sorry.
[laughs] No, it is fine.
Uh, what can we do for you?
We need to talk.
About the reason Bill dropped the charges against Hayley.
I thought it was to save face with the pregnancy.
And I thought it was because Bill didn't want to go to trial
and have his reputation dragged through the mud.
It's more complicated than that.
Diabolical, actually.
Hayley knows your secret,
and she was threatening to expose you.
[knock on door]
Mama, where have you been?
I texted you like five times.
Well, I didn't have time to answer, okay?
Went straight from the studio to the Dupree manor.
Please tell me you did not follow Anita home
to confront her.
Ye of little faith.
Anita extended an invite, thank you very much.
For real?
[exclaims]
-Tell me all about it. -[laughing]
Tell me all about it.
Aw, pumpkin.
Okay, that soundboard looked like something
straight out of Star Trek, all right?
I'm talking knobs and-and sliders
and lights blinking everywhere
and-and meters going up and down.
I don't even know how that engineer
kept everything straight.
But I was there with my eyes wide open,
trying to absorb as much as I could.
And that's all you did?
Observed and listened?
Sat quiet as a church mouse.
For the whole session?
Don't make it sound like I did a bid, all right?
I had my opinions.
But I wanted those women to have their moment.
And I gave it to them, and I'm glad that I did.
[sighs] Oh, and they told the funniest story about my mama.
-[chuckles] -So...
they were auditioning at this club, right?
Now, the club looked like
a little thrift store, is what they said.
[laughs]
Sticky floor and one microphone
and a piano that looked like it had survived the great flood.
Barbara decided, since the room looked like it was
tore up from the floor up, that we still had to be classy.
-Oh. -So she showed up with these sparkly scarves.
Well, that's sweet.
She wrapped those scarves around our neck
and declared that we were Motown money, honey.
[both laugh]
Sharon said we really looked like we were about to sing
backup for some tacky beauty store commercial,
but we didn't tell Barbara that.
[both laugh]
So, right in the middle of the song,
Barbara's scarf slipped off.
Well, what'd she do?
She caught it and she threw it over her shoulder
and created some choreography,
and we were just struggling to stay in sync.
-It was a beautiful disaster. -[laughing]
Oh, that is so funny.
And really touching.
You know, I found those scarves
right before we went into the studio.
Tracy, Sharon and I wore ours, and I wrapped Barbara's
around my microphone stand.
That's beautiful, Gran.
It was like Barbara was right there in the room with us.
I asked Vernon and Anita point-blank if it was
Hayley's pregnancy that caused Bill to drop the charges.
I knew they weren't telling me everything.
And now we know why.
We all agreed to hold it from you until after the election.
We wanted you to focus on winning.
Hell of a victory gift.
You're right.
And I hate dropping this on you tonight of all nights,
but you needed to know.
Hayley could decide at any point
that the situation didn't pay out the way she was hoping.
She could come knocking with her palms open.
Well, let's not get ahead of ourselves.
Dad, Hayley tried to kill Bill.
Tried and failed.
Your grandfather assembled everyone
and came up with the best course of action.
He believes the threat has been neutralized.
You guys also thought that Kenny the busboy had been neutralized.
That's different.
There's a lot of eyes on Hayley.
She's on a very tight leash.
And if she has any sense, she'll stay on it.
Sometimes bitches get loose,
run around, cause all kinds of problems.
If Hayley does reach out,
just call us immediately.
And then what?
We've protected you before.
We will continue to do so, as a family.
-EVA: Is this...? -LESLIE: Your grandmother.
When she was fierce and full of life.
Now I know where my baby gets her beauty from.
Your baby and her mama, too.
And Anita just gave you this?
I hope you are not insinuating that I boosted it.
Yes, and willingly.
Okay? Now, for the record, if I wanted to steal something,
honey, then I would have aimed a whole lot higher.
-[Leslie chuckles] -And we're back.
Well, look, the woman has Grammys
sitting around like coasters, for crying out loud.
-Okay. How'd the song sound? -Mm.
The Articulettes hit every right note,
and Devon had them doing the Lord's work.
I wish we could hear it.
Yeah, I'm not supposed to do this, but, uh...
a sneak peek can't hurt, right?
And y'all better not say nothing.
["Shine Together" by The Articulettes playing]
? We're young?
? And we shine together?
? Laughing through the hard times, don't you fear?
? Let's dream big together?
? Our bond?
? We're sisters forever?
? Love me through all my right or wrongs?
? I'll be here forever?
? Let's be clear?
? No matter what, we're always here for each other?
? Through all the ups and the downs?
? In a world dreaming big?
? Living our lives to the fullest?
? Nothing can stop us?
? I'm-a always hold you down.?
? ?
Just when I think this chapter is closed,
another page opens.
You scared?
More like furious.
At myself.
At that night.
I spent all those years losing sleep over this.
But no.
I'm not about to let this occupy my life.
Okay.
Then does this mean we should resume
to our regularly scheduled programming?
Lead the way.
But first, I want to grab a drink.
You want anything?
Just you.
Don't take too long.
That's an order.
Thank you for bringing me back for my car
and for being my backup.
Well, thanks for letting me.
You know, lately, I've been getting news
long after everyone else.
I realize I'm not in the inner circle like I used to be,
but Martin is still my son.
Kat is still my daughter.
If there's something that happens
that touches their lives,
I'd like to know.
Ted, you did know about the Hayley situation before I did.
Perhaps we both could use some work on the communication front.
Clearly.
Not looping you in wasn't a conscious decision.
I can do better.
And so can I.
No more omissions masked as good intentions.
Especially when it comes to our children.
Well, I believe, in a debate,
this would be called a consensus.
Hmm. I'll just chalk it up as another win for me.
[laughs] You would.
-Dad admitted something to me tonight. -Hmm?
He said he doesn't like being alone.
Your father always did love a full house.
Music blasting,
the sound of you and Chelsea making noise upstairs,
clients calling too late.
That does sound like him.
It was him.
But I have an admission of my own.
Oh.
Baby, I love you.
And I will always be here to listen
when either you or your sister need to talk about your father.
But listening is as far as I go.
As grown women, you get to decide
what place Bill Hamilton occupies in your life,
and I can't be in the middle of it.
I know, Mom.
I-I wasn't asking you to be.
I'm just making sure I don't volunteer.
-Yeah. -Okay.
[knock on door]
Caroline, I thought I told you to go home for the night.
[Bill scoffs]
You've got some nerve.
I'm not here to fight.
I want to talk about the baby
and what the future looks like for all three of us.
Now, if we approach this like intelligent adults,
we can come to a mutually beneficial agreement.
Whatever that is, you can put it away.
You want to know what the future looks like? I'll tell you.
Even if that child is mine,
I won't be a father to it.
-You don't mean that. -Oh, I do.
I do.
That baby will be your responsibility.
And yours alone.
