It's Gary.

Yes, I know that Megan

very aware that we are Black,

upon entering, because we
don't take any chances,

our friend's home.

All right, and can I
please just say something?

This is actually
a very beautiful rental.

Yeah.
I'm sorry.

Oh.

Uh, from the outside.

Oh, my lord.

Hey, David!

Oh, my God.

really disturbing,

Well, we all did.

my brain,

trying to think of a way
to express

my love for Ari, you know?

And I decided I'm going to
make peace with Ari's mother.

I'm just too tired
to sugarcoat this.

Nancy hates you.
- For no reason.

- No, not for no reason,

about ruining

Ari's car in college

to her rehearsal dinner late,

looking like a low-budget

And, oh, that speech you did
when you said David

checked all Nancy's boxes.

But it was, like, 20 years ago.

the Gorilla Glue of grudges.

Hazel, how's the music?

- Well, I--I--

I know you asked me to make
a playlist

of all of Ari's favorite songs,

but she really loved

those boozy gospel brunches.

So I hired a choir,
without the booze,

you know, out of respect.

But, um, I do have a case
of champagne in my car

just in case you want
to send our girl off

with the full experience.

- Booze-less is great.

Thank you, Hazel.

Bree, you feeling good
about greeting guests

as they walk in?

- Absolutely.
I actually have

greeting experience.

I used to be a hostess

at the Cheesecake Factory
in college.

I kept that brown bread coming,

so I'll apply
the same dedication to Ari.

- Love it.
Versace,

as the stage manager,
your job is to keep things

moving, no matter what.

Nobody speaks for more than--
- Two minutes.

I'll be brutal.
- Respectfully, though, right?

- When applicable, yeah.

- Okay...

I guess.

I think that about covers it.

My staff will handle the rest.

- Wait.
What about me?

You didn't give me
an assignment.

Ari was my friend
and my mentor and my soror,

and I want to help.

- Well, if Ari were here,

she would be sure
her mom was taken care of.

You know, Nancy refers to you
as the little sister

Ari never had.

So would you mind making sure

she has everything
she needs today?

- Absolutely.

I will be stuck to her
like gum on her shoe.

But, of course, not too much,
because I'm sure

she wouldn't want that.

- No.

to switch jobs?

Yep.

Wait a second.

Or wait, is it too dull?

Oh, no.

Ari hated a shiny dome

almost as much

was razor thin.

your head looks great, David.

Yeah.
- I better go fix it.

Ari cannot see me
looking like this.

such a precocious infant.

Her first word was in French--

[in French] mama.

I have ever met.

to make amends for Ari,

but maybe it's okay
to let sleeping dogs lie.

- It's, uh--it's just
something I have to do.

There's got to be a way
to get through to her.

to uppity rich folks,

there's only one way
to get their attention.

- Jayla, dear,
do you have a tissue?

I ran out.

- Oh, no problem.
I'll go get you one.

- No, don't bother.

I just assumed
that you had one.

Ari was so good at anticipating
the needs of others.

- Yeah, she was like
a real-life superhero.

- Yes, she was.

- Mm-hmm.

- Nancy--Mrs. Carmichael, I
forgot to mention this earlier.

In honor of Ari's
tremendous accomplishments,

I've committed $30,000

Isn't that beautiful?

- Yes, that's nice.

a really good person, Nancy.

Maybe you should cut her
some slack.

- A good person?
- Yeah.

- And--and is that
supposed to qualify her

to raise somebody else's child?

- I'm sorry, I don't follow.

- Ari, in what
I can only assume

was after a night of too much
champagne,

guardianship over Megan.

you were closer to Ari,

for you, Mrs. Carmichael.

- Ari was a lucky girl
to have you.

[soft music]

Both of you.

- ♪ 'Cause I got all
my friends with me ♪

♪ Mm ♪

♪ And I know everything's
gonna be fine ♪

- I'm proud of you.

You made it through.

Although no one would have
blamed you if you didn't.

- It's a roller coaster.
- No, I know.

I know.
But like a roller coaster,

it's got two seats.

Right?

I'm strapped in
right next to you

for all the ups and downs,
the loop-de-loops.

- I hate roller coasters.
- Me, too.

- You, too?
- I hate them.

The last time I was on one--

Coney Island, I'm with Bree,
and I throw up.

- Oh.
- Well, I had two hot dogs.

I should have had one.

But no, seriously,
all jokes aside,

you know I'm here for you, bro.

- Yeah, man, I--

I know that, especially now.

Thank you for everything.

- Hold up.

One more thing.

You thought I was kidding

about having a case
in my trunk.

[laughing]

A toast to Ari.

- Mm.

- I like that.

- Me, too.

- To Ari.

all: To Ari.
