Previously on
Bob Hearts Abishola...

[knock on door]
Come in.

- Hey, what're you doing?
- Homework.

Come on, I won't rat you out.
What are you really doing?

Homework.

[sighs] What have they
done to you?

So, listen,

I was thinking about
running over to Costco

and buying one
of those new Xboxes

and inviting some friends over
to mess around with it.

You a gamer?

No, which means I'll need

somebody to teach me.

Oh, I don't think my mom
will like that.

Oh, she's gonna hate it.

Let's go.

BOB:
So, what, I'm just supposed to
become a Ravens fan now?

ABISHOLA:
Are they not a better team?

BOB:
Okay, that's a low blow.

ABISHOLA:
Everything is a low blow.

You are so sensitive.[sighs]

Sounds like there's
trouble in paradise.

Another marital problem that

we will have to
help them navigate.

They're so lucky
to have us. Mm.

When I was a newlywed,
there was nothing to navigate.

You just did what
your husband said,

and you made sure he never
saw you without makeup.

My husband still has
never seen my naked face.

- Really?
- I sleep in

full makeup and
a girdle. Mm-hmm.

I thought you were
getting yourself some tea.

I never made it to the kettle.

My mother stopped me
to complain.

- About what?
- Everything.

You know, this could be
a new reality show.

An angry Nigerian mother-in-law

slowly destroying
the people she loves.

Call it, Guess Who's
Coming to Dinner...

and Staying. Forever.

- Oh, no.
- What?

I forgot my phone out there.

Don't go back.
I'll order you a new one,

have it delivered to the window.

I think I left it in the gym.

I could get to it from
the side of the house.

Yeah, but that's right next to
"you know whose" room.

[chuckles] Your mother
has a name.

Don't say it out loud,
you'll summon her.

Then she'll come and
tell us one of her stories.

[as Dottie]: Did I ever
tell you about my royal flush

at the Jackpot
Junction Casino?

[laughs]

I always get the one
about someone

named Frankie Valli
buying her a lemon drop.

We're prisoners
in our own home.

Our moms are the guards,
and this is the hole.

We could
always escape.

Go out the window,

press against
the side of the house

to avoid
the motion lights,

have the Uber pick us up
two blocks down at the 7-Eleven.

Wow, you just had that
plan ready to go?

You are new
to this prison,

I grew up in it.[laughs]

Well...

I suppose we could
jump that rose bush.

Although, that gravel
on the other side's

gonna make for a tricky landing.

I'm gonna have to change shoes.

- Bob.
- Yeah?

We don't have to do this.

Thank you.

DOTTIE:
Hey, I found
somebody's phone.

[knock on door]
DOTTIE: You guys in there?

Bob? Abishola?

Shh. It responds to noise.

["Ifanla" by Sola Akingbola
playing]

Do you have
any eights?

Go fish.

This is a very
strange game.

Yeah, it's
mind-numbingly simple,

which is why it's better to do
when you're drinking.

What isn't?

I knew we were simpatico.

- I'll get the Baileys.
- Mm.

Hey.

Good morning, sweetie.

Hello, Bob.

E karo, Mama Ebun.

Is everything okay?

You and Abishola
- turned in early last night.
- BOB: Yeah.

I'm on this new diet

where you're not
supposed to eat after 6:00,

so what's the point
of being up? Or alive?

While you have an
important guest here,

it might be nice for you to make

a little more effort
to entertain them.

I'm sorry, Mama Ebun.

I meant me.

It is good you and Abishola are
spending so much time together.

Listen, a-about that,

you know,

we love having both of you here.

Of course you do.

We're delightful.[laughs]

Yeah.

It's just, I feel like I spend
more time with you two

than I do Abishola.

- Well, whose fault is that?
- Yours.

You should always
make time for your wife.

That's what I'm
trying to do.

Then why are you here
whining to us?

I'm not whining.
I just want some alone time

- with my wife.
- Well, maybe your yelling

is why she doesn't want to spend
any more time with you.

How about this? One night
a week, you guys stay out

of our hair.
- Is that too much to ask?
- DOTTIE: Not at all.

To be honest,

we could use a little break
from you, too.

Seriously?

You know I love you, sweetie,
but you're under foot a lot.

This is my house.

How dare you tell your mother
that your house is yours.

DOTTIE:
I had a stroke,

God forbid I should stay

- a couple of weeks.
- EBUNOLUWA: Mm.

You've been here for two years.

You know what?

Forget I said anything.
Have a great day.

You too, sweetie.

Boy, he's in a mood.

I hope he does not pass
that disposition onto his child.

Huh?

Clearly, they are trying
to have a baby.

Can you think
of any other reason

they would not want
their mothers around?

Hot damn, I'm gonna be a granny.

AUNTIE OLU:
Of course, Ebun.

I will not tell
a soul.

Hand me the church directory.
I need to spread the good news.

What?

Bob and Abishola are going
to have a child.

- No!
- Yes!

Can you imagine how adorable
a little baby Bob will be?

I need to tell
Sister Comfort.

Shouldn't Bob and Abishola
be the ones

to announce this blessing?

Yes.

Hello, Sister Comfort.

I have wonderful news!

[gasps]

Just saw
my first robin.

Spring is coming soon.

Are you having
another stroke?

No, I'm just
enjoying God's handiwork.

Each day
really is a gift.

It does sound like she's dying.

I'm not dying.

If you must know,
I'm in a good mood because

I'm about to be a grandmother.

Wait, Abishola's pregnant?

They're working on it.

I knew when he started
losing weight

he was up to something.

Oh, he's burning those calories.

Ew.

Are you sure
about this?

I just feel like Abishola
would've told her little sister.

Little? You're older than her.

Yeah, but
- she's taller.
- Bob said

they need more alone time.

What do I need to do,
draw you a picture?

Well, maybe she just
didn't want to jinx it

by sharing it with the person
that she's closest to.

Yeah, I'm sure that's it.

Poor Bob.

What do you mean,
"poor Bob"?

He's gonna be one
of those old dads.

Him and the kid are gonna be
in diapers at the same time.

Well, I'm excited.

This baby could be good for us,

give me more than one winner
in the bunch.

One winner?

She's talking about Bob.

All I'm saying is, it's a chance

to right some wrongs.

What, so are you saying
Douglas and I are the wrongs?

No.

You both fill my heart
with pride.

Your shift was over
a half hour ago.

Yes, it was.

Your mom still here?

Yes, she is.

[chuckles]

My mother would
visit for months

and do nothing but nag me
from the couch all day.

Her butt print would haunt me
even after she left.

I feel bad for my mother.

I'm all she has.
My siblings barely speak to her.

See that guilt
- you're feeling?
- Mm-hmm.

It's all part of their
little game, child.

My mother does not play games.

The fact that you
think that,

means she's winning.

Here.

What is this?

I would have made more of
an effort if I hadn't found out

you were having a baby
from Sister Comfort.

What? You're
having a baby?

- No.
- Oh, please.

Don't play coy now.
Your secret is out.

I am not pregnant.

That's why she been
eating such big lunches.

And having erratic mood swings,

from angry to very angry.

You are making me angry now
with this pregnancy nonsense.

I'm going to be
a wonderful godmother.

Ah, who made you godmother?

You think it should be you?

I think we should discuss it.

- Is anyone listening to me?
- Shh.

What if we were
- co-godmothers?
- I could live with that.

Well, let's do that then.[laughs]

Ooh, you look
a little cranky.

Let me get you twoa snack.

Apparently, my mother has been
telling everyone I'm pregnant.

Well, how the hell
did she get that idea?

I was just telling her we barely
get any time together.

- Oh, Bob.
- What?

Why would two married people
want to be alone?

To look at a suspicious mole

on the husband's back?

Now she will never give up

on this ridiculous baby idea.

Is it?

- What?
- Ridiculous.

Yes.

We talked about this.

I know, but that was before.

Before what?

Spending time with Dele.

He's such a great kid.

You can't help
but wonder

what kind of kid
we would have.

I can help but wonder.

You know what?
- Forget I said anything.
- Okay.

Yeah, just forget it.

[sighs]

Oh, great, you're here.
Please, sit down.

Are you coming back
to take my job?

No, I would never.

Oh, thank God.

Don't thank God yet.
Someone is

coming for your jobs.

Someone younger and smarter.

Who is coming?

Bob and Abishola
are trying to have a kid.

No!

Yes.

That is wonderful news.

Stop smiling,
you fool.

The moment
the child is born,

we are on an
18-year countdown

until he inherits
the MaxDot throne.

Yes, he, she, or they

will certainly be put in charge.

I would welcome a leader
that has a mix

of Abishola's relentless drive
and Bob's tenderness.

Like a teddy bear with talons.

There will be no company
to work for.

Often, the passion
for a family-run company

only lasts one generation.

You think Bob's kid will sell?

GOODWIN:
Of course.

He will not care about socks.

He will only care
about going to the club

and getting jiggy with it.

I don't like him.

He hasn't even been born yet,
and I do not like him.

That baby is no threat to you.

I was the one who was
going to be in charge.

[both laugh]

- DOUGLAS:
- Goodwin,

we love you

and all you've done
for the business, but...

we're Wheelers.

Well, Bob Wheeler

promised me I would take over
once he left.

- I'm sorry?
- What?

I have a signed statement
on a Wendy's napkin.

And where
is this napkin?

In a safe place.

Yeah, I don't know if a napkin
will hold up legally.

I mean that genuinely,
I have no idea.

Why was I never told?

None of this matters
if Mr. Wheeler has a child.

- Excuse me.
- Where are you going?

To get a baby gift.

Are you sure?

When you walk out that door,
you have chosen your side.

Oh, my God.

This baby is already
tearing us apart.

Well, here they are!

Ooh. The bringers of life.

I have wanted
to change a diaper

since I saw the movie
Three Men and a Baby,

because I was one man
with no baby.

That's very sweet, guys,

but there has been
a misunderstanding.

Eat this eba.

I'm not hungry right now.

Eat it. Your cousin Bisi ate it
during her pregnancies

and all her children
are over six feet.

And she and her husband
are both little people.

Everyone is getting
ahead of themselves.

Abishola, I just want to
say thank you.

I'd given up on the idea
of becoming a grandmother,

and then this came
out of nowhere.

Like the time Frankie Valli
bought me a lemon drop.

I have to say,

this is...
this is the most...

No, no, no, please don't.

Let your uncle cry.

After all our struggles,

he is excited
to have a baby around.

Yes. That.

Listen, I don't want to
disappoint anyone,

but Abishola and I
talked about it,

and we're not sure
we're gonna do the kid thing.

- What?
- EBUNOLUWA: Yes, you will.

I have already told everyone.

Well, you should not
have done that.

This is my fault.

I didn't mean to give you
the wrong idea.

Do you really not want a child?

Uh... You see?

Your husband wants a child.

You are denying him the chance
to continue his family name.

I'm sorry.

I know everyone here's
intentions are good,

but I think we just need
a little space.

This is a complicated situation.

It is not complicated.
We want a child.

- UNCLE TUNDE:
- We do.

We really do.

I am so sorry about that.

Wow, she's like a ninja.

[lively chatter][music playing faintly]

Can I join you?

What happened?

I fell out the window
following you.

What do you think happened?

That rose bush was tricky.[chuckles]

That makes me feel
much better.

How did you find me?

You know that app
you track Dele on

with your phone?

- You did that?
- Sorry.

Do not be.

Tracking someone
means you love them.

A child would require me

to take time
away from the hospital.

That's true.

I would also need to delay
going to medical school

for at least a year.

Yeah, I guess you would.

I have concerns about

taking care of a newborn
and your mother,

who, after a few drinks,
is fussier than a baby.

[chuckles]

Got to be careful not to mix up
their bottles.

So many people want this.

What they want doesn't matter.

But you want it.

What I want is
for you to be happy.

And if you don't want
to have a kid,

then I support that.

I'm not sure what I want.

Wait, I thought you were
a hard no.

Because up until today,
I thought you were as well.

Are you saying
you want to have a kid?

I'm saying
I'm no longer a hard no.

Huh.

Okay.

Okay.

♪ Into the sun

So... Let's just drink
while I still can.

You got it.

[whirring]

Hey, Goodwin.

Hello.

I just want you to know

that I fully support
Bob's choice

in putting you in charge
one day.

Thank you.

And I'm happy to
help throw overboard

any family member who disagrees.

You know, so long as there's
a place for me on that boat.

I will keep that in mind.

Great. [chuckles]

You look handsome today.

[scoffs]

Hey! My favorite coworker.

I was just thinking...

about how much I love
working on the floor.

Under you.

Thank you.

I would never abandon this place

the way cuckoo Christina did.

I'm loyal,
like a hound dog.

All I need is a pat on the belly
once in a while.

And my old office back
and a company car.

I will think about it.

[chuckles] Take your time.

You look handsome today.

[sighs]

- Hello, cousin.
- Yes?

Is there something
you would like to tell me?

No.

I'm just here
to make copies.

- Always the hard worker.
- Mm-hmm.

I will remember that
when I rise to power.

Interesting.

We will see what the Wheeler
child has to say about that.

Haven't you heard?
There is no Wheeler child.

You have old
information, cousin.

Abishola is no longer
a hard no.

Where did you hear this?
Who-who is your source?

Like I said,

I am just here to make copies.
