Previously on "Greenleaf"...

Jacob: We cover the debt,
you give us Triumph II.

That way the money gets replaced
and you don't go to jail.

You keep your church,
and we get ours.

We have the opportunity
to do something together.

We co-pastor, build whatever
we want across the street.

I don't need a co-pastor

any more than I need
a cane to walk with.

I ain't done nothing to nobody.

Yeah, you did. You
hurt those girls.

- You are sick!
- Stupid bitch!

- Ahh!
- They didn't do anything

they didn't want to.

Mac is dead. How can
this be without scandal?

It was self-defense.
Grace is a hero.

And if I ask what you think,

you think it's great
or you shut up.

The Zora I know would never let
anyone talk sideways to her.

- Fine, I'll dump him.
- I am grateful for Robert.

He wasn't always the
devil he became.

Sometimes I think that
Mac became the way

he was watching Daddy,

what he did to me.

This is Mavis McCready.

If you're looking to
book Alonzo Ashbury,

leave your name, your
venue, and a date.

I'll get back to you.

Anybody else, speak your
piece and keep it brief.

Don't fill up my mailbox.

Mavis, it's me.

We're gathering at moss
lake next Saturday

at sunset to scatter
Robert's ashes.

I thought you should know.

James, myself, Jacob, Charity.

I'm not asking Grace
for obvious reasons...

Lord knows...

We have had our distances,
Mavis, and this family...

Some earned, some given
by God for who knows why.

I don't pretend to understand.

His life is just such a
veil of tears, but...

if there's any way that we...

Could make a new beginning

while there's still
time to make one,

you and I...

We'll be there at 5:00 P.M.

www.fmsubs.com

- Morning.
- Morning.

You sleep okay out here?

Yeah. you?

You know.

Here. Come here.

I don't think I slept
in on a Sunday morning

since I moved back,
so this is nice.

You gonna make an 11:00?

Mnh-mnh.

No. with everybody
gossiping about me,

getting quiet when I
walk in the room?

No.

I honestly don't think

I can walk into a worship
right now anyway.

Well, you didn't
do anything wrong,

at least from what
you told me, anyway.

Yeah, I don't blame them, it's just...
It's church, you know?

Everybody's all up in
everybody else's business.

Mm-hmm.

Yeah.

What you working on?

Uh, this old friend of mine is
the head of bloomberg news now,

and she keeps asking me whether
I'd be open to come up there.

A job in New York?

Yeah.

Are you gonna take it?

I don't know. I got to see
if the money's right,

and, you know, if it fits
with everything else.

Good for you.

- Coffee?
- Mm-hmm.

Yeah. I need to wake up.

♪ Amen ♪

♪ all right ♪

♪ amen ♪

♪ uh-huh, hmm ♪

♪ ooh-ooh, ooh ♪

♪ well ♪

♪ oh-ohh, ohh ♪

♪ ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh ♪

♪ amen, amen ♪
♪ oh ♪

♪ yeah ♪

so I asked God,
what should I do?

Yes.

I mean, I got land,

but no money to build
a church on it.

I got the heart for Jesus,

but not enough people
to share it with.

What should I do?

Then the soft, small voice said,
"Jacob, you know what to do."

But I was, like, "uh, what?"

But God was patient with me,

and he said, "Jacob, I told
you in my word what to do."

- That's right.
- "Feed my sheep.

Not just with bread," he said,
"feed my sheep my word."

That's why I'm here...
To be obedient,

preaching the word of God

just like Jesus did...

Outside the temple.

Hey.

Thought you were
skipping church.

I am, I am.

I just wanted to catch Sophia
with the little saints.

I think it'll be cute.

Well, when am I gonna
see you again?

- Well, you tell me.
- What does that mean?

Just the job.

I wouldn't be leaving for
a while, if I took it.

So you're gonna take it.

I don't know.

- What's the matter?
- Nothing. I just...

Guess I want to know if we're
breaking up or whatever.

Are we together?

We're something... Come on.

I know we're just hanging out,
but, yeah, we're something.

Well, which is why I
wanted to tell you

there's a job offer
on the table.

I didn't want it to come out
of left field if I took it.

Hey, look, we made a deal
when we met, remember?

I wouldn't write about
your family or Calvary.

- I didn't force you to do that.
- I know, and I'm glad we didn't.

Okay, but right now,

the biggest story in my
little corner of the paper

is one-time Memphis
man of the year

just died trying
to kill a pastor.

And you just want my story.

No.

My editor wants the story.

But you won't go on record,
and I accept that.

Guess this is what happens
when you don't go

to church on Sunday, huh?

Nothing's happening.

You'll let me know
if something does?

You'll be the first one to hear.

Thank you for the sleepover.

Anytime.

Hey. how you doing, little man?

Thanks for coming. Bless you.

How you doing, little sister?

- What you doing here, son?
- Oh, just, uh,

you know, doing what I can

with what I got for
who wants to listen.

God bless you, man. All right.

You know, your mother's
in a bad way, son.

She just lost her brother.

I don't care much to talk
about Mac right now.

Well then... Feel it for her.

Pop, I promised her
I'd come by the house

and watch her scatter his ashes,

but I'm not gonna
stop living my life.

This is your brand-new
master plan?

God bless you, sister.

Oh, not mine... The lord's.

You told me you didn't need me.

- Hey, grandpa.
- You didn't want a co-pastor.

Hey! Zora. Come here.

There you go.

- Thank you.
- All right, God bless you.

- Hey, ma.
- Hey, son.

Did the two of you
learn anything

from your season
with Basie Skanks?

- Jacob's not Basie.
- That's right.

And real church ain't Triumph.

- "Real church"?
- Yes, sir.

The real church of Memphis.

A church not made
with hands, no walls,

no stained-glass windows...

Just the people and
the word of God.

Amen.

There you go, brother.

- Thank you.
- God bless you.

You know none of this has to do
with the two of you, all right?

We're family, always.

- I know, Grandpa.
- I know, Grandpa.

Can I share my grandchildren?

You know, your mother
didn't just lose a brother.

She lost her father,
almost lost your sister.

I know.

What you don't know is how
deep this goes, Jacob.

Trust me, you don't.

You're gonna regret this.

Walking in the footsteps
of Basie Skanks

all the way to hell.

You should get back.

Pastor.

Come on.

What was that about Lady Mae
going deeper than you know?

Who knows?

Hey, man.

Come on, why don't
you hop up here?

Sophia: Now, this
one is human love.

Crius, try and blow it out.

Sad, but true. Mm-hmm.

But now try this one.

This one is Agape...
That means "God's love."

Maybe if both of us blow. Here.

Have you heard from
Kevin by any chance?

No. not a phone call,
e-mail, nothing?

Nothing since the letter.

How does a person do that...

Just release themselves from
every tie that binds them.

He must think it's his right.

I cannot imagine feeling
that kind of license

to just desert people.

Mama, why are you
asking me about Kevin?

Well, don't worry,
I-I'll handle it.

I can try him again if you want.

There's no need.

There's no need to re-open that
wound if you've closed it.

I just thought that if
you've heard from him...

I haven't. I'm sorry.

You know that by asking
you to go with me

and your father to scatter
Mac's ashes that I...

I know.

I know.

You don't have to explain.

What a gift you are.

Okay, you're all set up.

Great.

We all lose sight of this fact,

because we slip into
this achievement brain.

But God loves you
just the way you are.

All right. Ooh, look.

What do you think?

Looking good, Daddy.

Thank you. Thank you.

Your sister's the one.

Just the way we are. Not
the way we'll be tomorrow.

Not the way we were
before it all went wrong.

Right now.

Right now... Just
the way we are.

We need to get you on TV.

I don't know.

I think we're doing
something right, just...

Keeping things small.

I know. I'm just proud of you.

Thanks.

Thank you, too, kiddo.

No problem.

This is Kevin. Leave a message.

Hey, it's me,

the person you used to
call your best friend,

your wife before you
stopped being a husband.

The mother of your son, Nathan.

I'm handling everything
that you left behind.

This isn't right, Kevin.

What you're doing, just
disappearing like this...

it's not right.

Roberto: Yo-o-o!

That's better than the last one.

- Whatever.
- It's okay, bud.

- So?
- Where'd you meet this guy?

His mom teaches at rhodes,

so we've been friends,
like, forever.

So, what do you think?
He's cute, right?

He's all right. A dummy Denzel.

He's going to be the aide
to representative Cohen

this summer... In Washington.

That's big.

Ooh, nothing gets me
going like civics.

At least he's nice.

Nice! and the men
take a decisive lead.

Ugh, help me, Obi-Wan Kenobi.

Hey. May I show you a trick?

What, you guys afraid to lose?

I just have this cool thing

that I hold the ball
a certain way...

Yeah, you hold your
balls your way,

I'll hold mine mine, okay?

Different strokes.

Isaiah?

- Yep.
- He doesn't know when to quit.

Some call it a virtue.

We need a Turkey to win.

Think you've got that already.

Yo.

Come in.

- Hey.
- Hey.

Uh, bad time for a visit?

No, no, not at all. Come on in.

- Is it okay if...
- Yes, please. Sit down.

You're not sleepy yet, huh?

He was, but I was
working on a song

and I got a little loud,
so it was my fault.

How can I help?

I want to find Kevin.

Okay.

Is there anything
that you can do?

My parents are running into all
kinds of problems since he left.

Ah, it's, uh...

It's not cool that he just left
everything hanging like that.

Especially you two.

Yeah.

So, can you do some looking?

Do you have any
contacts like that?

I'll ask around tomorrow.

Thank you.

Sophia: Mm.

I'll see you tomorrow, crazy.

It was nice to meet you, Zora.

Yeah. you, too.

See you at mock trial.

That was fun.

Did you tell Roberto
about Isaiah?

- About him? What about him?
- What happened at the studio.

- Why?
- So you did tell him.

- Yeah, it happened.
- Why would you tell him?

He's my boyfriend.

You don't sell out your
cousin for chemistry notes.

And then you want me
to mate with him?

Mating wasn't a
part of the plan.

Of course not. You know,

'cause mating's for
cool people, right?

So she explain the job?

Darius: Yeah, I just got
off the phone with her...

Talked for about two hours.

- And you're gonna take it?
- What do you think?

I think you should take
it if you want to.

Well, you could come visit.

Yeah.

I mean, weren't you on
your way to New York,

anyway, when this all...

Yeah. yeah, I was.

And so you could plausibly end
up there after Sophia graduates.

Anything can happen.

And try the long-distance
thing, see how that goes?

I think we know how that goes.

This is how that goes.

Yeah.

Let's just talk tomorrow, okay?

We can talk more
now, if you want.

No, you know, let's
just talk tomorrow.

Okay.

- Bye.
- Bye.

It's gonna be a
seven-part series...

"From the pit to the palace."

It came to me all
at once in a dream.

Yeah, you know, I can't wait
to hear what you do with it

because some of these younger
pastors, in my opinion,

use Joseph all wrong...
You know, "be yourself."

Well, it's gonna be
deeper than that.

When it's all said and done,
it may end up being a book.

I would love it if you
did another book.

Do you know I still turn to
the last one for wisdom?

And what corners of the world

are you lighting
up this morning?

Well, I'm gonna set everything
straight with that van contract

and then just go through résumés

and try to find a new
outreach director.

Will you join me for lunch?

Been a while since
we stepped out.

That would be lovely.

What a pleasure it is to have
you as a partner in this life.

You did get some sleep.

Oh, I feel like a new man.

Clarine?

Good morning, Bishop.

Did that check for
$10k clear yet?

Mm. just a few minutes ago. Oh,
Praise God, I knew it would.

Things are looking up for me.

Things are looking up.

The contact info's on your desk.

Thank you.

Good morning.

May I speak to miss
Rochelle Cross, please?

_

Okay.

No, I promise it
won't happen again.

No. yeah.

Oh, well, thank you, Demita.

All right, bye-bye.

What's the matter?

What if this luncheon of
ours was a threesome?

I mean, with whom?

Mac's ashes were just delivered.
I-i just...

Don't think I'm in a place
to be social right now.

Understood.

Well, who were you thinking?

Oh, the woman who
wrote the check...

- Uh-huh?
- Rochelle Cross?

- She's free today.
- So go.

Oh, look, it can wait.

Uh, uh, it would be so much
better if you were there anyway.

No, James, please go.

If that check cleared, go.

We can do it another time.

There will be many, many times.

Go.

As directed.

This is Kevin. Leave a message.

Hey, Kevin, it's me, Aaron.

Look, Charity's
looking for you, man.

She wants to hire a P.I.

I... I don't quite
know what to do here.

Look, whatever you're feeling,

whatever you're going
through, I get.

I've been down the same road.

Anyways, just...

Just give me a
call if you wanna.

And if you don't want
me to tell anybody

where you are, that's cool.

James: Yes, well,
whatever you can do to...

Cover what Kevin left hanging

till your mother finds
a replacement...

Grace: Sure. Yeah,
whatever you need.

And I'm sure if you stop by
her office and offer to help,

with all that Jacob's up
to across the street...

What's he doing
across the street?

Oh...

Oh, that's right, you weren't
in church yesterday.

You skipped church.

What'd you think, we
weren't gonna notice?

What's he doing
over there, Daddy?

He's preaching in that lot

like some kind of
beale street busker,

handing out bread and...
God bless him.

The point is...

Your mother needs you more
than ever now, wants you.

I'm trying to believe
that's true, Daddy.

The Virgin birth, the
Resurrection, the Trinity...

All true.

God's world is full of
unbelievable truths.

And the steadiness of
your mother's love,

despite all you two
have been through,

may be the strongest one of all.

Here.

Thank you, Lisa. You
must be Miss Cross.

- I am.
- Nice to meet you.

Same here.

Thanks for taking the time.

Oh, my pleasure.

And, uh, Lady Mae? She
couldn't make it?

No, she was otherwise engaged.

Ah. well, I guess we'll
have to make do.

Well, I hope you're hungry.

Starving.

Sister, sister.

- Hey.
- Hey.

- How are you?
- I'm good.

Good. what are you
doing tonight?

Um...

Changing diapers
and watching TV.

- Glamorous.
- Well, that's my life.

- Uh, can you get a sitter?
- Why?

Well, I'm going over to Jacob's

and I just... I wanted to
see if you want to come.

Oh. just for fun?

Yeah, and I...

I kind of wanted to see where
his head is at going forward.

- You heard about him preaching.
- I did.

You know, with Basie,
it was one thing.

He wanted to prove
something to Daddy,

but to see Jacob out there

persisting right in
front of Calvary...

Yes, that's exactly why
I want to talk to him.

Let's just figure it all out.

Okay, um...

I'll see if Maricel can sit.

Good. good, good.
This will be fun.

- Thank you, sister.
- Thank you.

- Come here.
- It will.

- Mwah. have a good day.
- You, too.

You know, in the, uh... the five
years that we were married,

I never went to church.

That's why I felt the
need to write the check.

Well, on behalf of Jesus and
his friends at Calvary,

welcome back.

Well, thank you. It
feels good to be back,

especially at a church with
such a dynamic preacher.

Well, I... I do my
best as I'm able.

You see so many of these, uh...
teaching preachers nowadays.

They're in such rush to
make sense of everything.

When I saw you up there,

brought me right back to
Gethsemane Baptist Church, 1990.

I felt like a little girl again.

Well...

I'll take that as a compliment.

But, of course, um...

I always try to keep my drama
in service of the gospel,

so as to not, you know,
glorify myself in any way.

Oh, no, no, no, no.

No, your sincerity shines
right through like lightning.

Well, I thank you, miss cross.

You can call me Rochelle.

Of course.

Well, Rochelle, typically
donations the size of yours

are rewarded with membership

in what we call the
Bishop's round table.

Oh, no, no, no.

Now, members get
periodic opportunities

to use the church's jet for...

Missions, of course.

Bishop Greenleaf.

Yes?

This round table, the one
we're sitting at right now,

that's the only Bishop's round
table that I'm interested in.

Understood.

Now if you'll excuse me, I'm
going to the ladies room.

Uh... excuse me. Check, please.

Guys, thank you so much
for bringing this food.

I have been in the
kitchen so much lately.

No, that's the least we can do.

Thanks for having us over.

- This is nice.
- Mm-hmm.

And how are you, Grace? Are
you talking to someone?

I'm fine.

Jacob and I went
to see a therapist

when we were having
trouble, and it helped.

I'm not having any trouble.

There's no shame in it, Grace...

Unless you think there is.

No, I don't think there's
any shame in it.

I just don't need help.

So, uh, how's Nashville, peanut?

- Really good, actually.
- Yeah?

Mm, now, are we gonna
be hearing something

on Hallelujah FM with
your hands on it?

I don't know about that,

but I did place a couple
songs on some records, so...

Well, I think we're
all really proud

of the way you've been
putting yourself out there.

Amen to that. Way to go, sissy.

- Thank you.
- Yeah, congratulations.

Thank you. That
means a lot, guys.

It's definitely been a blessing
to have this distraction with...

Kevin and...

The baby.

Everything else is just...
It's been good.

So, did Kevin just...

- Seems like it, yeah.
- Oh, wow, that is such a mess.

You guys just seemed like
the perfect couple to me.

You were friends.

Okay, grown-folk talk. I get it.
I'll leave.

- See you later on, sweetie.
- Bye, baby.

If you don't mind my asking,
why did you two break up?

Yeah, like, what was the deal?

I mean, I kind of miss
my little brother.

Um... Kevin's gay.

He's what?

Kevin's gay.

What's so funny?

Nothing, I, uh... That's...

That's just the first time
I've said it like that.

Kevin's gay.

It's... it's awful.
It's absolutely awful.

It must be.

Did you know that?

Yeah, that's...
That's what that is.

Aw, I seriously doubt that.

- That kid...
- This is not funny.

Her whole world has been
turned upside down by this.

It's true. I'm so unhappy.

You people are crazy.

- Hey.
- Hi.

Oh, how was your lunch with
that big donor, miss, miss...

- Cross? yeah.
- Cross, yes.

Oh...

Uneventful.

Oh. well, is she gonna join?

Not yet.

Then why did she
write that check?

To settle a debt with the Lord.

Well, that's how she
put it, anyway.

She coming to church on Sunday?

I think she might, yes.

Oh.

I look forward to meeting her.

Mm.

Would you like a
piece of pound cake?

Mm. no, thank you.

I am just...

Waiting for the Lord to...

Guide me to the right
scripture for Saturday.

Okay.

Can I make you a suggestion?

I just need to sit
with it for a while.

All right.

- Thank you.
- Mm-hmm.

I just don't understand
why he couldn't be gay

and divorced and across town.

- People do that.
- They do, but...

He doesn't really
want to be gay.

I mean, he's finally
admitted to it,

but he still doesn't want to be.

Well, look, I don't blame him.
That's hard.

I mean, that's a hard life.

- It sure is.
- Yeah.

Well, whatever help
you need with Nathan

while you're going back
and forth to Nashville,

we're here. Know that.

Thank you. Thank you. That
means a lot, Kerissa.

Ah, so...

What made you two decide to
come over after all this time?

I mean, don't get me
wrong, I appreciate it.

It's cool.

Well, I did kind of want to
get a sense of how committed

you are to this
street-corner preaching.

- On that particular corner.
- I told you it wasn't social.

You have to admit,
it's a little odd.

I told you. Are you
actually gonna sit here

and disallow your brother
from preaching the gospel?

No, of cour... but does he have
to do it across the street?

It was a crazy idea
when Basie had it.

Gigi, that land is all we have.

- Because you came back.
- I didn't make anybody leave.

No, but you made it
impossible to stay.

- K.
- Jacob.

Look, that land's all we got,

and all I have is a message
that God finally gave me.

- What am I supposed to do?
- Take my job.

If this is really about
ministering to the homeless,

then Calvary already
has an infrastructure.

Didn't Kevin have that program?

- But what would you do?
- What do you mean?

Well, if Jacob is the associate
pastor, what would you do?

That math isn't adding up, Gigi.

- Maybe move to New York.
- Oh, come on, leave again?

I'm not preaching,

I don't seem to be able
to minister effectively,

and people don't see things
quite the way that I do.

And really, the way
that I see them is...

It's changing all the
time, so why not?

I'm just being honest.

Jacob, take my job.

Hey. I saw your tweet.

Isaiah: Which one?

The one you linked to
my dad's gohelpme page.

Thank you.

- I miss you, baby.
- I miss you, too.

Grace: And look at it
from my point of view.

No. I'm not going
back there, Gigi.

Jacob, why?

Because that's not what
God asked me to do.

Do you think you're the
only person that God calls

or doesn't call, talks to?

You're wrong.

No, I don't think that.

Well, then, what was
with that noise?

We all know what
that noise means.

It doesn't mean
anything, Kerissa.

Look, Gigi, God doesn't want
me to preach on Sundays

to pay the electric bill

or to sit with the deacons
in the round table

or listen to their stories

so they can pay for
upholstery or paint

or whatever rehab
mama's dreaming up.

That's not what
Jesus said to do.

- That's not what I'm doing.
- Jacob, Daddy is sick!

Charity is flying
all over creation.

And, baby, that's
wonderful, all right?

But she's raising
Nathan by herself.

You can't just
desert the family.

Like you?

I was 18 years old.

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

Jacob, someone has
to manage things.

You know what, Gigi,
you're right.

Somebody does.

And it's not gonna be me.

She was just defending her man.

I wasn't attacking him.

- Where you going?
- What do you care?

Charity, come on.
Would you wait?

- Wait.
- What?

Why are you so mad?

- Seriously?
- Yeah.

Grace, you're leaving again.

I said I was just
thinking about it.

Well, Jacob never
had that chance...

The chance to think
about leaving.

I never had it until now.

Only you, Gigi.
You're the only one.

20 years you were gone, Gigi,

and you want to accuse Jacob
of deserting the family?

What did you do?

You left and you
never looked back.

And we stayed here, trying
to fill up this space

that you left behind and never
being good enough to do it.

Do we matter to you at all, or
just faith 'cause she's dead?

- Charity.
- Hmm?

I love you. Don't do that.

Really? you love me?

Gigi, we've been here.
We put in our time...

Sometimes when we wanted
to, a lot when we didn't,

but always because we are
family, so it's your turn now.

All right, go ahead.
Refresh this bad boy.

$3,100... that's not
bad for two days.

That's what I'm talking about.

Two days and a little
help from Isaiah.

Now, how the lord's
gonna grow this thing

moving forward
remains to be seen,

if he does at all. We'll see.

Ooh, maybe you should
buy a mic and an amp.

Nope, we're not buying anything.

Well, then, what's
the money for?

Food... for those that
come who need it,

and, you know, a place
to stay for families

that need help, clothes...

And a church eventually.

Well, not unless the lord
tells me to build one.

Well, can I tell you something?
Promise not to tell anybody?

- Hit me.
- You're becoming a solid dude.

Well, thank you, baby,

'cause that's all I
ever wanted to be.

You can't leave, Aaron, no.

This was always a
temporary thing.

Well, so was the Garden of Eden.

It's a part of God's
plan that plans change.

- You're staying.
- Lady Mae...

We need you here...
I need you here...

As a stay against
all this confusion.

Lady Mae, I have to go.

Trust me, it... I
just have to go.

You have to go.

Amen.

Would you...

Would you give your father
my fondest regards?

Mm.

Grace: And then
he was just gone.

I didn't go over
there to kill him.

I was just looking
for my daughter,

then he tried to kill me.

That's it. That's
the whole story.

Well... thank you.

So...

Write it, great. Don't
write it, great. Just...

Let me know so I can warn my
parents and the Deacon board.

Of course.

And then...

Can we do some dinner or
something before you leave town?

I decided not to take the job.

When?

Couple days ago.

Why didn't you take it?

Really?

I'm so glad you came, baby.
