Hey, y'all ready
to go to water park?

[all exclaiming] Yeah!

[girls] Previously on
Doubling Down
With the Derricos,

[Deon] Hurry up, babies,
'cause we gotta get ready
to get out of here.

[thuds]

I'm so sorry, mommy.

My house is so small,
and it could be really crazy
and chaotic.

This house is a zoo.

-[child laughing in distance]
-Tell me about it.

I came over
to start my dating profile.

[all exclaiming] What!

-[laughs]
-What!

I guess I'm just ready to...

-Ready for love?
-...mingle.

[stutters] And it stops there.

[stutters] And it stops there.

I didn't say it stopped there.

-Oh, Ma! [laughs]
-[indistinct]

At times,
I really feel guilty...

not being able to give you
the time that...

you and I are used to.
You and I are always happy.

Especially being
your only child now.

Chris is my older brother
who passed away.

It was very hard on me.

But GG, is having
an even worse time.

I'm barricaded over here.

I'm very encouraged
to watch Karen

I'm very encouraged
to watch Karen

do her business,

but my Derrico-CD
has gotten so much worse.

Yeah, I'm out of here.
I can't deal with this.

-She's getting boxes [bleep].
This is just too much.
-[girl shouting playfully]

[door closes]

[Karen] I'm just like,
"Really?"

As a mother, as a woman,

and respectfully,
as a black woman,

that just don't go.

[upbeat music playing]

[Eric] Careful, Dior.

[boy] Ooh! [laughs heartily]

[boy] Ooh! [laughs heartily]

[Eric] I'll pop
all this bubble wrap.
Here, Dyver.

Now, pop away!

[bubble wrap popping]

-That's a car?
-That's a house.

-That's supposed
to be a house.
-[Eric] That's a house?

[Darian speaking]

[Eric] It's a
one bedroom studio.

-Bye!
-[Eric] All right, Oscar.
Grouch lookin',

When Rico took the children's
phones and tablets away

for a screen-free summer,

I thought that it was
going to be a disaster.

-Give him a hug.
-[laughing]

But they found ways
to still have fun.

Dawsyn! Oh, hello. [stutters]
You gotta put the phones away.

Dawsyn! Oh, hello. [stutters]
You gotta put the phones away.

Well most of them have.

I took her screen,
so she's upset.

[Darian speaking]

[children screaming
and laughing]

[Eric] Look at Dior.
he good.

[bubble wrap popping]

-Close your eyes.
-Close my eyes?

-[GG] Get your own cellphones.
-[laughing]

Dawsyn is more addicted
to the tablets than anybody.

It's an obsession with her.

[Dawsyn speaking]

Oh, really? [chuckles]

[children chattering]

[children chattering]

Oh, my God!

-Ma!
-What?

Alright, babies! Poppy needs
for you to go upstairs.

When Derrico had his flare up
and left out the house,

I was so angry with him.

Here take these boxes

and put them over
in Poppy's office.

[Karen] And I get it.
Havin' all those boxes

in this small house,
it overwhelms him.

But, I mean,
I don't get to say,
"Give me a minute."

Because I got up
at four this morning

to get all my children
together for today.

Dior, get that piece
right there.

[Karen] But you know,
me, him, we have a debate
or somethin',

we go outside.

We don't do that
in front of the children.

[Eric] Dawsyn, we out of here.

-[Deon] Thank you, baby.
-[Eric] Let's blow
this taco stand.

Karen definitely
deserves an apology,

'cause I owe it to her, man.
I shouldn't behave that way.

You know, because your spouse
should not feel the brunt of

whatever frustrations
you're having.

That's just not acceptable
in a marriage.

I'm gonna wait for
the children to go to bed,

I'm gonna wait for
the children to go to bed,

and then I'm gonna
try to talk to her.

That's just my bad.
I can't get around it.

-Poppy!
-Yeah?

We need to
talk to you about something.

-Okay.
-[claps hands]

What is it?
What you wanna talk about?

Oh, my God!

Do you know how many scooters
we've bought already?

They're already broken.

I know.
That's what I'm sayin'.
Absolutely not.

No, we spent more than
our share of money
on scooters for y'all.

-Well...
-We want money.

I mean, I know.

Just go on
and give them allowance.

That's it.

[Deon] GG, why don't you
give them the money?

-[GG] I can do that.
-Okay.

[Karen] No, she cannot.

Why not?

Because, Ma,
they need to work for it.

I will never forget,
my first job was

delivering a paper,
a newspaper.

Mmm-hmm.

If you make it too easy,

you will not learn
the concept of hard work.

Deon did get an allowance
when he was a child,

and I say it's only fair

that his children
should get an allowance.

Because until they understand
the value of the money,

Because until they understand
the value of the money,

it's not gonna mean
that much to them anyway.

Can we have our own business?

Become entrepreneurs
like you guys

and make our own money?

I love that idea.

-[GG] Yes.
-Absolutely love that.

Now, what you gonna do?

I don't know. But scooters,
they're like $70, so...

Okay, well I think
that's a great idea.

We got this.

We got this.

-You know we do.
-[hands clap]

-I love the fact that you all
are being creative...
-[Karen] I liked it.

...on your own. Try to
figure it out yourselves.

Don't just lean on
Poppy and Mommy
all the time for the answer.

Teaching our children
about being an entrepreneur

is very important.

Of course,
GG was an entrepreneur,

my grandmother
was an entrepreneur.

Not only do
Black owned businesses

help provide jobs
and great representation,

it also teaches
other African-Americans

that they themselves
can do it.

Your work is
cut out for y'all.

Go and get started.

The fact that they're
choosing to be entrepreneurs
this early... we love it.

[both grunting]

So, Ma, I need you
to spill the tea.

What's up with
your dating profile?

Um...

No dates or anything yet.

I think I would just, uh,
right now, just like to...

-Explore some more?
-Yes.

I've been online,
chattin' with a few guys.

I'm lookin' to have
a little companionship.

I'm lookin' to have
a little companionship.

But there's
nothing that's just...

[growls] Jumpin' out at me.

I'll know it when he comes.

He'll give me that [grunts].

-So I think that we should
set GG up the way we--
-I think

that we should stop saying we.

It's what I'm scared of.

[all laughing]

[upbeat music playing]

[Karen sighing]
So what's goin' on?

There's an elephant
in the room

that needs to be cleared.

I stormed out of here
the other day.

I needed to clear my head

because seeing the
outer clutter of the boxes,

and although I know
it's for a good cause,

internally...
I perceive the outer clutter

as reflecting clutter
in my life.

Mmm-hmm.

But I wanna
apologize to you for that,

'cause I recognize,
I was wrong.

When you came to me,
and [stutters],

it was the wrong time
for my mood at that moment.

I understand. I do.

And you know
I get those moments too.

I do, because
I have a lot of things

that I'm extremely
stressed out about.

-Yeah.
-I mean, just being for real.

[cell phone ringing]

-[chuckles]
-I apologize.

I don't know who this is.

Listen, I am
super proud of you,

for doing
this online business...

-Mmm-hmm.
-...I guess
it's just the timing...

-Mmm-hmm.
-...I guess
it's just the timing...

The timing is good and bad.

Because it's like, right now,
with the real estate market

being so back and forth,

that's just
somethin' else added to...

the list of worries for me.

Yeah.

You know, and I try
not to get emotional.

Why?

'Cause it's just
I want a bigger house.

It's just stressful.

Yeah.

Yeah.

[sniffles] I'm just tired,
and I'm thinkin'

school is coming up... soon.

And the one room that is...

you know, a classroom,

it was hard
last school season.

Now we add two more
to that school schedule.

[cell phone ringing]

-Um...
-I keep getting this damn
phone call from this number.

[cell phone ringing]

You know, it's like,
I know we're stuck.

I just know we are

and I know that
we both are there mentally,

but something that
causes this amount of stress,

but something that
causes this amount of stress,

has to... we have to
figure out a way to...
relieve this.

We got to
get out of this house.

Yeah.

With a family of 16 people,

it's just not as easy for us

as it would be
a family of three or four.

Yeah, I know.

But just know,
I am going to do everything

to make this happen.

One way or another,
we will have our new home.

The blessing in it is that
we have an awesome family.

The blessing in it is that
we have an awesome family.

I agree.

[chuckling] It's never
a dull moment

in the Derricos household,
right?

Yeah, and there are
people in far worse

-positions than we are.
-[phone beeps]

[Karen] That is true.

Even left a voicemail message.

[chair creaks]

Hey... listen to this.

[man speaking over phone]

Oh, my God!

[somber instrumental
music playing]

[Deon] I don't know
what to think.

It's just a lot to take in.

Christopher was
my older brother,

Christopher was
my older brother,

and I really looked up to him,
growing up.

So to find out that he may
have a son that he never met,

I don't know how to react.

Now, of course I feel bad
for not taking the call.

[voice shaking] Wow...

I'm here.

[Deon] Chris' passing was
a total surprise to us.

So, when I get
this voicemail message,

I have a mix of emotions...
instantly.

It's mindblowing.

I mean, that could be
my brother's son.

I can't believe this.

[man over phone]
Just recently I had a
conversation with my mom

and she said that
your brother Chris
could possibly be my dad.

Remember the calls
I kept getting?

-Uh-huh.
-It was him.

[GG] It's painful
to think about that,

because it's painful
that Chris is not here.

I hope it's real.

Well, I don't wanna
get my hopes up anymore.

Well, I don't wanna
get my hopes up anymore.

I know.

-[alarm beeping]
-[girl] Smoke!

-[boys screaming]
-Over here!

[children shouting
indistinctly]

[Deon] Smoke, Dariz,
Dallas, Denver,

-[Karen] Go! Go!
-[girl] Oh, my God!

-[children screaming]
-[baby crying]

[Karen] Where in the world
is the boys?

[dramatic music playing]

[upbeat music playing]

Can I have one? Aah!

Mmm-mmm.

[speaking with mouth full]
These are so good, Dyver.

[Dallas] Hey, Poppy!

We figured out
what we want to do.

This will be interesting!
Very interesting.

We wanna come up
with the biggest idea,

to make enough money
for our scooters.

Okay, we have some signs here.

Okay, we have some signs here.

In Vegas, people are melting.

They need, need, need,
need, need, need...

lemonade.

-As you guys can see,
this is our lemonade stand.
-Hmmm.

-[Deon] A lemonade business.
-Yeah.

That's the course for people
waiting for lemonade.

-This is the cashier.
-Bathroom line.

-If the...
-But wait, wait, wait.

-So you're
doing this outside, right?
-[both] Yes.

-Where's your
bathroom outside?
-Porta-potty!

-[all laughing]
-[Deon] Okay, okay,
you thought about that, okay.

Now you know that
by you havin' a porta-potty,

Now you know that
by you havin' a porta-potty,

that means the cost goes up,

because we have to pay
for a porta-potty.

They don't
give 'em to us for free.

I know, and we also
have a bodyguard. Eric.

Oh, you got security? Okay.

I felt so sure of Eric,
'cause I know he can box,

I know how powerful
his fists are.

He can pick up
a whole person,
[indistinct]

and that's why we hired Eric
to be our bodyguard.

People plus... money plus...

lemonade equals...
scooter. Yeah.

[Karen] Oh! Good presentation
there, Dallas.

[Karen] Oh! Good presentation
there, Dallas.

How much
are you chargin' per glass?

-Eight.
-So, eight dollars.

-No one's gonna buy it.
-Eight dollars...

Inflation is real!

In order to
sell a cup of lemonade,

you wanna realistically
have it at about a dollar.

You need to buy the cups,

Some ice, 'cause you want
the lemonade to be cold.

I am so proud of our babies.

You know they wanna
do their own things,

and feels good 'cause they got

their entrepreneurial spirits
from me.

-From you?
-From me. I said it.

So, I guess, maybe give them
some seed money of about $25,

So, I guess, maybe give them
some seed money of about $25,

and we get our money
off the top.

-[Karen] That's right.
-So, before you make a profit,

-we get paid first.
-[both] Yes.

And, uh, I'm so inspired,
and I'm so encouraged,

that I think that
we will match

whatever money you make.

If Poppy is going to match
as much money as we make,

that means
we only get to make $95.

We got this!

Let's do it.

[Deon and Karen laughing]

Oh, hold on a minute,
you gonna put on a show
for them also!

Oh, hold on a minute,
you gonna put on a show
for them also!

-Now that's gonna
raise the prices.
-[Karen] Yeah!

-Told you.
-Ka-ching!

[upbeat music playing]

[Deon] Yeah, absolutely.

So, just let me
first figure out

how I think it needs to be
best, um, handled.

Alright. Uh-huh. Bye-bye.

So, the young man that
had called me the other day,

and told me
he was my brother's son,

he'd left me a voicemail.

That was him, right there.

That was him, right there.

It went well, he seems like
a great young man,

and I'm glad
I called him back.

But... this could
change my family,

the dynamics of
my family for life.

You know, it's just,
I think it's a lot because...

you know,
losing my brother was a lot.

[melancholy music playing]

When Chris passed,
it had me paralyzed.

I've known him all of my life,

I've known him all of my life,

I've never been on this Earth
without him.

This young man is
24 years of age,

that means we've lost
24 years with him,

but more importantly,
his father got none of it.

But then I think
about my mother,

and how will she handle it.

You know, she was a very,
very young mother.

And so because of that,
these mistakes that she made,

so GG has a lot of guilt.
A lot of guilt.

So, you can't un-ring a bell.

So, you can't un-ring a bell.

Once I tell her, it's done.
I cannot un-ring it.

And I think that's
my biggest fear is,

how will she handle it.

And I'm for sure not telling
my children right now.

I'm not mentioning this
to them right now.

This is a lot. It really is.

[upbeat music playing]

And now me gonna
roll over here

And now me gonna
roll over here

to the house salad.

You ready, Daician?

[gasps] Yes.

So, these are the cucumbers.

We got our food
in the oven going,

and we're gonna
make a little house salad.

Go ahead and season it.

[boys grunting and shouting]

[Karen] Boys! Poppy's workin'.

-Deonee, shake it up.
-[Deonee] Shake it up.

-[salad rattling]
-[girl laughing]

Derrico does all the cooking
in the house,

but because
he's been so busy lately,

this time I decided
that I would find a recipe

and try it.

and try it.

Alright I'm going upstairs
and talkin' to Poppy.

The last time my wife
took it upon herself

to surprise me with a meal,
I bee-lined to the bathroom.

-It all came up!
-[Karen chuckles]

So I'm hopin' that
this is really and truly

somethin' different
this time, right?

[chuckles softly]

What are you in here doing?
[sighs wearily]

Just lookin' up this property.

So listen to this
real quick, baby.

-Um...
-[alarm beeping]

[girl] Smoke!

[screams]

[boy] Smoke!

-[boys screaming]
-Over here! Smoke!

Come on, gotta come on.
Let's go, let's go, let's go.

[children screaming]

[Deon] Let's go
Dariz, Dallas, Denver!

-[Karen] Go, go!
-[children screaming]

-[intense music playing]
-Okay, y'all come on.

Go, for real,
let's go, let's go.

Yeah, get them,
I've got Dyver.

This way, this way,
right here.

Go across the street,
all the way across the street.
Hurry, hurry, hurry.

[children screaming]

[baby crying]

[Karen] Where in the world
is the boys?

-Who's missin'?
-I gotta go back and...
We gotta call 911.

[Karen] I am, I am, I am.

-[alarm beeping]
-[Deon] Who's down here?

Oh, my goodness! Hi! Hello?

[Deon] Boys, girls,
where are you?

-[intense music playing]
-[Deon] Hey, babies!
Where are you all?

[alarm beeping]

Oh, Jesus!

We still have seven children
that's still in this house.

Where could they be?

Babies! Boys! Girls!

This is a terrifying moment.

Where are you all?

Oh, thank God! Here, let's go,
let's go, let's go.

[children shouting
indistinctly]

Come on guys,
get in birth order,
get in birth order.

Come on guys,
get in birth order,
get in birth order.

[Deon] Yeah birth order,
birth order, birth order.

Oh, God!

[Deon] Yep. We all here.

-[siren blaring]
-[girl] What is that?

Stay here. Stay over here.
Stay back.

-[Deon] Yes. Yes.
-[Karen] Yes.

[engine idling]

[alarm beeping]

[Deon] Getting all the
children out of the house,

was very scary.

You know, having 14 children,
it's just chaotic.

You know, having 14 children,
it's just chaotic.

You know, I thank God
that GG wasn't there.

And that we all got out safe.

I found the culprit.

-Left this in the oven.
-[suspenseful music playing]

It's alright, babe.

It's alright, babe.
It's alright. It's okay.

It's alright.

When the fire alarm went off,

I wanted my babies
out of that house.

So in the moment, I wasn't
thinkin' about the oven.

I was thinkin' about
the safety of our 14 children.

I was thinkin' about
the safety of our 14 children.

We can replace lasagna.

-Dericco can cook that again.
-Right.

We clear to go back in?

-Bye-bye.
-Say bye-bye.

With 14 children,

we have to have a schedule
and a plan for everything,

but we weren't
prepared for this right here.

And we move into
a bigger house,

it's gonna be
even more complicated.

So we have to figure out
something right now,

because this
could have been bad.

-We have to get a
serious plan together.
-[children chattering]

-[Deon] A serious plan.
-[horn honks]

No more cooking for Mommy!

[all shout]

Poppy and Mommy is just

-thankful to God
that you all are okay.
-Yes, we are.

[Deon] Get you all
back in this house, and...

-order some take-out.
-[Karen chuckles]

Everybody who agrees,
say, "Aye!"

[all speaking together] Aye!

[upbeat music playing]

Ready to make this money?

Oh, this feel
like a great spot

with a lot of traffic.
The entry.

[Dallas] Remind me to
never get the heavy stuff!

I'm okay.

Got it.

So we have cookies, lemonade,

Derrico's Dee-Lish Lemonade!

You throw in down/\
on the sugar!

-I even put them
sugar cubes in it.
-[kisses]

[Eric] That's the money box?

[Denver] Okay,
let's start this business.

No one's gonna steal from us
'cause Eric is our bodyguard.

No one's gonna steal from us
'cause Eric is our bodyguard.

He's supposed to protect us,
love us.

[Eric] Y'all think
y'all can make $95 today?

Twenty-five
to pay back your parents.

Seventy for one scooter.

'Cause they're gonna match it,

-that's gonna make it to 140.
-Got it.

[Eric] Alright, so
don't be too anxious.

Makin' money will come
with good customer service.

We got a potential customer
at nine o'clock, Denver.

Alright, Dallas c'mon.
We gotta bust a move, man.

-Dang it!
-[Eric] You got another car,
you got another car.

[Dallas makes comical noises]

[Dallas makes comical noises]

-Their loss!
-[Eric] They're gonna
regret it.

So, we're kinda worried that
no cars are stopping.

[Dallas] It's kinda not cool.

But, they'll come back
for some lemonade
when they want to.

[Eric] Yeah,
pull 'em in, Dallas.

Keep prayin' that
we get these scooters.

[Eric] Come
and get your lemonade!

[boys exclaim excitedly] Oh...

There's more
to making money than
havin' something for sale.

They have to actually sell it

-Two lemonades.
-Comin right up.

-[lemonade trickling]
-[Denver] I got this.

-[lemonade trickling]
-[Denver] I got this.

-[amusing music playing]
-[woman] Thank you.

-[Eric] Please tell a friend.
-[boys] Thank you.

-[Dallas] Thank you.
-[Denver] Tell a friend?

[Eric] You see that?

That's why
you gotta stay optimistic.

-[boys shouting indistinctly]
-[Eric] People comin'.

[Dallas]
We're going to stay here
and do whatever it takes

to make enough money
to get those scooters.

[all in sing-song voice]
♪ Come and get your lemonade ♪

We need some new moves.

Okay, that might do it.

[Denver clapping]
Come on, please.

[Eric] Oh, oh,
get your lemonade.

[Dallas vocalizing music]

[Denver] Have a safe trip.

[Denver] Have a safe trip.

-[Eric] Oh, here's someone.
-Oh.

-[Eric] Hello.
-[woman] Hi!

Can we get a cup of lemonade?

-[woman] What do you say?
-[girl] Thank you.

-[Denver] You're welcome.
-[woman] Okay.

-Thank you.
-[woman] Thank you, guys.

We were still very far away
from making that $95.

-[Denver] Yep.
-[Dallas] We need that.

Here you go, young man.

We need more m-m-money!

-[Eric] We need cute face,
cute faces, cute...
-[boys make excited noises]

-Just give kisses.
-Cute face.

-[boys] Hoo-hoo-hoo!
-Hey!

-[Eric] GG!
-[boys] Hey, GG!

-[Eric] GG!
-[boys] Hey, GG!

Can I get someone, please!

This lemonade stand is good.

So, how much money
have you all made?

[boys] Forty-five dollars.

-What!
-Yes!

[Eric] We need 50
to make today's goal, $95.

Poppy's gonna match
whatever profit we make.

Why don't I... give you 100.

-Now that means Poppy's gonna
match what you have, right?
-Yes.

Then you gonna give me
my 100 back,

and then y'all can get
y'all scooters.

and then y'all can get
y'all scooters.

[Dallas] Thank you very much.

You're welcome, dear.

[GG] It's so much fun,

pullin' little pranks
like that on their parents
with the kids.

Sometimes it's kind of fun,

helpin' them to be
a little defiant.

[laughing heartily]

Y'all cannot tell Poppy
that I gave y'all $100.

-That's right. Zip it, baby.
-[slaps hand]

It's called earning.

-[GG] Bring it in.
-[high-fives]

[upbeat music playing]

[Deon] Mother!

Hey!

What's goin' on?

Not a lot.

"Not a lot."
What you in here doing?

-Huh?
-I know you ain't lookin' at
no dating site.

How you doin'?

-Ma... What're you doin'?
-Let it go!

-Ma... What're you doin'?
-Let it go!

-[GG] Stop it.
-My goodness.

I love the fact that
GG is lookin' to date again.

But you can't blame me
for being curious

as to who is she lookin' at.

So are you tryin' to
find me a stepfather?

He can't say nothin'

about me bein'
on a dating app.

I'm on there because I am!

What's goin' on with you?

I have some deep information.

I hope it ain't bad.

No, it's not bad.

What is it?

[stutters] I don't know why
my heart is beating so...

[stutters] I don't know why
my heart is beating so...

What it's like that?

Okay, here you go.

[Amani speaking over phone]

[suspenseful music playing]

Remember the calls
I kept getting?

-Uh-huh.
-It was him.

[GG] He is a child
claiming to be Chris' son.

It's kind of touchy for me,

It's kind of touchy for me,

because my first mind is
to say I have two children.

But in reality, I got one.

And, um, it's painful
to think about that.

Because it's painful
that Chris is not here.

So... I just told him that...

I was, you know,
hopeful and excited--

-Oh, you talked to him?
-Yes. I called him.

He just told me stuff like,
you know,

his mother
went to school with Chris.

They... parted ways
at the high school,

They... parted ways
at the high school,

met back up
so many years later,

rekindled the... relationship.

-And how old is he?
-He's 24.

Chris never knew about him.

-She never told Chris?
-Never.

Ma, she had lost contact.

Remember this is
all pre-social media.

-Wow.
-[Deon] I know.

My son, Chris,
he passed in 2020.

Four days before
his 54th birthday.

They call it a em... embolism,
which is a blood clot.

They call it a em... embolism,
which is a blood clot.

He start complaining
that he couldn't breathe.

And them tryin' to
resuscitate him,

they weren't successful.

I hate to say it, Ma.

I hope it's real.

Well, I don't wanna
get my hopes up anymore.

-I know.
-Nothin' could fill that void.

And although people say
they understand...

until they've
actually lost somebody,

I don't think they
really understand the loss.

I don't think they
really understand the loss.

Yeah.

[stutters] I need to
talk to him.

-I'd rather see him.
-Yeah.

So, I'll plan it with him.

We'll set up like a...
a phone chat, video chat.

And then you get
a chance to see him--

-Yeah, I need to talk to him
and see him.
-Yeah.

[upbeat music playing]

-[girl exclaiming] Wow!
-[Karen] Let's go
see it y'all! Let's go see it!

[Karen] When you
have 14 children,

safety is top priority.

Unfortunately, the other day,
we had a fire scare,

and it just
really was a eye-opener,

that we're not as prepared
as we thought that we were.

So, I reached out to
our local fire department,

so we can teach
our children fire safety,

but also make it fun.

My name's Victor Mancilla,

this is Station 57's crew
here today.

this is Station 57's crew
here today.

-They're gonna be
helping us out as well.
-[all cheering and applauding]

[upbeat music playing]

That's so cool!

I'm really excited
to be at the firehouse

because there's five
little babies in the house

and we just have to
do better as a family

of making sure
that we're safe.

Alright folks, so we're just
gonna have you come over here.

We got a place
for the kids to sit.

[GG] Lookin' at
all these firefighters,

they are very handsome.

they are very handsome.

If I had to be
rescued by somebody,

there's one...

He looked like he might give
mouth-to-mouth pretty good.

Just sayin'.

I'm glad you reached out to us

especially with
a family of your size,

it can be challenging,
for sure.

But hopefully,
by the end of this,

you'll all be able to get

a pre-plan together
for your home,

so if there is an emergency,

everybody knows
what they're supposed to do
ahead of time.

In the event of a fire,
I think that what I would do,

I would get layers of pillows.

The pillows would burn.
Yeah, that's fun.

The pillows would burn.
Yeah, that's fun.

[Victor] So, if I can get my
volunteer today, to help out.

This is a sketch of what
your household looks like.

This is the kitchen area
where the, uh,

lasagna catastrophe happened.

[all laughing]

-[humorously] Dinner's
almost ready.
-[Karen laughs]

It happens, but that's why
we do this pre-planning.

If there is a fire, ideally,
you wanna get out of the house

as quickly as you can.

But some of you went to
the back of the house,

when they were
supposed to meet out front.

What was your thinking
behind that?

We were in a rush.

-[man chuckling]
-I'm sure you were you were
a little scared too, right?

-[man chuckling]
-I'm sure you were you were
a little scared too, right?

So, part of your plan
as a family

is to find an area
outside of the house

for you to meet up.

So, I'm here to teach you guys
"Stay Low and Go."

And what that is, is how to
get out of your house

if your house is
filled with smoke.

Alright, stand up!

Okay, the house is on fire,
there's smoke everywhere.

Drop to your knees!

Crawl out of the smoke.
Crawl out of the smoke.

-You guys have any questions?
-[Karen] Yeah.

So are there any bad cooks
amongst this group?

-Yes, this guy right here.
-[all laughing]

Luckily, I crave
extra-crispy food,

borderline burnt.

'Cause to me it tastes good.

-Yeah, exactly.
Yeah, that's Mommy.
-That makes me feel so good.

[all laughing]

I'll bring you something.

[both laughing]

[upbeat music playing]

[upbeat music playing]

[Karen] Let's show GG
how mad we are.

Sound mad!

[kids making angry noises]

[Karen] Now, count to five!

-One...
-What's up,
what's up, what's up?

[children counting] Two,
three, four, five.

Duggee hug! Duggee hug!

[girls screaming indistinctly]

[Denver] Duggee hug!

A Duggee hug's like
a group hug [indistinct].

We say Duggee hug.

-It's a short word for saying
a "Derrico hug."
-Yeah.

[Denver] Poppy,
the lemonade stand,

it went nice.

-[Deon] It went "nice"?
-I was just sayin'
more than nice.

So, my entrepreneurs
made what?

[Denver] You ready to see it?

[both speaking] One hundred
and forty-five dollars.

-Let me see. Let me see.
-[Karen] What?

They made $145
selling lemonade?

We may be in
the wrong line of work.

I think that I need a lemonade
little truck and drive around.

Wait a minute, wait a minute,
wait a minute.

Twenty-five dollars
comes off the top.

This is me and Mommy's money.
That's our seed money.

This is me and Mommy's money.
That's our seed money.

-This means technically
I gotta match this.
-Mmm.

And then,
we're gonna get our scooters!

-[boys making silly sounds]
-So when I match this,
how much will that be?

-Two-forty!
-[Karen] There you go.

-[Deon] Two-forty.
-Dang, son!

That's called a C-note.

-[GG] Okay.
-[Dallas] Alright!

-[Karen laughing]
-[GG] Get that C-note, Dallas.

Y'all did very good.

Although we've
always been against

just giving our children cash,

We're rewarding them

for their hard work
with this lemonade stand,

and to show them
the importance

in bein' a man of your word.

in bein' a man of your word.

Not only in business
but in all areas of life.

-So they learned
a valuable lesson, right?
-[Karen] Yes. They learned.

About the importance
of being independent,

and makin' some money.

We can never tell
Mommy and Poppy

that GG hooked us up
with all that money.

[mischievous music playing]

Zip it, lock it,
put it in your pocket

and throw it in the trash can.

-[boys grunt]
-[all laughing]

[Karen] Come on, Dawsyn.

-Come on, Daiten.
-Oh, I'm proud of you boys.
I really am.

-Come on, Daiten.
-Oh, I'm proud of you boys.
I really am.

[in baby voice] Dior marker?

[male producer]
This is Triplins.

[clapper claps]

No! Mmm-mmm.

Just say yes, dude.

He said, "Yes."

[upbeat music playing]

[child laughing]

You think 'cause y'all are
twins, or triplins,

You think 'cause y'all are
twins, or triplins,

y'all can
double team somebody?

[Dallas rapping]

I'm paying racks ♪

It's some facts ♪

[alarm beeping]

What is that?

Oh, c'mon. It's a fire alarm.
Let's go, let's go, let's go!

Wait, wait, wait!

I don't get it.

If it's hot, that means
the fire is on the other side,

and don't open the door.

The door is cold.

It's cold. It's good.

It's cold. It's good.

[long exclamation] Oh!

Ooh, that doesn't look good,
we gotta go.

[shouting] Fire! Fire!

[alarm continues beeping]

[Karen] Let's go.

[children squealing
and laughing]

If there's a fire,
we gotta check

if there's anybody
in the room.

[girls shouting] Wait, wait!
We're all clear!
We're all clear!

You gotta check if
everybody's out of the room.

Rest room clear!

Rest room clear!

[Deon] Come on!
Take your time,
but hurry it up!

Get out! Get out! Get out!

[Karen] I missed you, right?

Good job! In the shade,
in the shade! C'mon.

So after visiting
the firehouse the other day,

Karen and I
decided we wanted to

set up a fire drill ourselves.

So Karen tripped the alarm

just to see what
our children really learned.

[cheering and applauding]

[Karen] Good job!

In the shade, in the shade.

[alarm beeping]

[cheering and applauding]

[Deon] Very good,
very good, very good!

[chuckling] Hey, Mommy!

We love you.

[Darian exclaims] Aw!

[Deon sighs] Oh!
You all cleared the rooms!

Mommy was able to
get in our safe spot.

How do you all feel?

[all] Good!

Because we're gonna have to
continue doin' this, right,

Because we're gonna have to
continue doin' this, right,

so that we don't forget
what's required of us.

-It will be instinct, right?
-[all] Yeah.

-I am extremely proud
of all of them.
-[Karen] Right.

And when we move
into our bigger house,

we're gonna make it a priority

to practice fire drills there
as well.

Y'all did good.

-Give yourselves
a round of applause.
-[all clapping]

[Deon] Thank you, babies.
Really proud of you all.

Alright, so you all ready
to go out to sea?

-[all] Yes.
-[boy] I'm done with this.

-Yes!
-[boy giggling]

-So are you ready for this?
-[GG] Oh!

As ready as I'm gonna be.

[Deon] Before the call
with Amani,

[Deon] Before the call
with Amani,

I have a litany of emotions.

It makes me think,
hard to relive...

Chris' passing.

[upbeat music playing]

These little...

-[GG] Hey, dear.
-dirty hand children!

-[Deon] Hey, mother.
-How are you?

I'm good.

-[indistinct]
-Come here.

[GG] Mmm-hmm.

Where're the babies?

Upstairs. I didn't want them
down while we doin' our call.

[suspenseful music playing]

[Deon] Before the call
with Amani,

I have a litany of emotions.

I have a litany of emotions.

I'm excited, I'm terrified.

We still do not know,
if he is...

You know, our family.

Chris' passing
was hard on all of us,

but GG was devastated.

I just don't know
what this kind of

shocking information
would do to her.

I don't wanna dare think of
seeing her go through

the kind of hurt or pain
if... this young man

isn't any family to us.

How she will process that,
that worries me.

It makes me, I think, um...

hard to relive...

Chris' passing.

-Yeah.
-You know?

I can't even
imagine losing a child,

[stutters] That's...
years of memories.

-I can't even
imagine that one.
-[GG] Yeah.

And then, thinking about,
you know...

this could
potentially be a son.

God, it's like...
over the top, for me.

Yeah.

This will be the first time
I'm seeing Amani.

This will be the first time
I'm seeing Amani.

I'm just feeling
a little anxious.

Just... wonderin' how he is.

What does he look like?
How do he speak?

What kind of person he is.

Just a lot of questions
going at once.

-So, you ready for this?
-[GG sighs] Oh!

As ready as I'm gonna be.

Give him our best. Here we go.

[call ringing]

Hello!

[distorted noises
from speakers]

[distorted noises
from speakers]

[GG] Hi!

[Amani over speakers]
How you doin'?

I'm good, how are you?

-[Amani] Good, good.
-It's good to
finally meet you.

Uh, yeah. Same here.
Same here.

So, Amani, this is...

[Amani chuckles]

-[Deon] I don't even know--
-Your potential GG.

-[Amani] Okay, okay.
-[Deon chuckles]

[Deon] So, tell us
about yourself.

So Amani,
what about your, uh...

the dad that
you've known all this time?

Yeah.

[Deon] Yeah.

This is amazing.
I'm thankful to you for...

your reaching out to us.

Um, I can only imagine how...
how hard it probably was.

You know, even for you,
being scared, not knowing,

would we be receptive or not.

I keep looking at you,

and I keep seein' Chris.

-[Deon] Yeah.
-[GG] Yeah, I do.

[GG] You got a dimple
on the same side.

-I got a dimple...
-[Amani] Oh, yeah.

-[Amani chuckling] GG.
-[Deon laughing] Oh, God!

-[Amani chuckling] GG.
-[Deon laughing] Oh, God!

And can you do me a favor...

Um... Can you take your hair
and just pull it back?

-[Amani] Oh, yeah.
-[GG] Like this.

Oh, yeah.

There's just a certain
gnawing in my gut...

that says... he's ours.
He's Chris'.

I think right now...
I welcome it.

I would love him to be
my grandchild.

And there's a
big part of me that...

And there's a
big part of me that...

that hopes he is.

But if he is,
that means that...

Chris would have left here
not knowin' about him.

Wow.

-[Deon] Yeah,
isn't that a lot?
-[GG] If that ain't Chris.

[Deon] Yeah.
He did that all the time.

-[Deon] He bit his lip.
-All the time.

All the time.

-[Amani] It's just a habit.
-[GG] Religiously.

-[Deon] Yeah, all the time.
-[GG] Religiously.

-[Deon] Yeah, all the time.
-[GG] Religiously.

There's a part of me that
feels like Amani is Chris' son

just from lookin' at him.

But I know how sometimes
we can want something so badly

that we see more
than what's there.

I am really trying to protect

not only my heart,
but GG's heart.

We gotta put on brakes,

because if this young man
is not family,

it's going to be devastating
on all three of us.

[GG] So what would
you feel about...

[GG] So what would
you feel about...

uh, doin' a DNA?

I mean I would be up for it,

'cause... you know, um,

I just wanna know, like,
where I come from, you know.

I wanna know for sure.

I wanna know for sure.

I need to know, I need to know
for sure... [crying]

[crying] Yeah.

[Amani] I understand,
same here.

[crying] Yeah.

[girl] Next time on
Doubling Down
With the Derricos...

-[tires screech]
-Whoa!

Whoa!

I just think it's too soon.

[Deon] I'm wanna get
out the three also,
I wanna do all five.

[Karen] Oh, my gosh!

[children shouting
indistinctly]

I'm not gonna let you go.

[Eric] Dawsyn,
where you goin'?

You're ready to be my models?

-[all three] Yeah.
-Let's do this.

I'm launching my business
at the end of the week,

I'm launching my business
at the end of the week,

with an online
virtual fashion show.

And of course,
my children are modelling.

Why don't you have
the dress on?

I can't be in the show.

[Karen] I'm shocked that
Darian not want to be

a part of
this fashion show's like...

What's up?

I have eczema
and my arms are scarred,

my legs are scarred.

My face is
completely spotted up.

Sometimes I look in the mirror

and I don't wanna
look at my face

because it looks so bad.

Aw... Baby.

-[dramatic music playing]
-Okay.

I am on pins and needles

I am on pins and needles

to find out about
the results of the DNA test

about Amani being
my brother's son.

I think, "How will we make
the transition either way?"

We find out he is.
Okay, then what?

Here it goes.

We find out he's not...

then what?
