Previously on
Bob Hearts Abishola...

Now, watch your step.
We're almost there.

- I know where we are, Bob.
- No, you don't.

It is the warehouse you want
to throw away our home for.

Not throw away, but good guess.

- Are you ready?
- Sure.

- Ugh.
- Ta-da!

Oh, my God.

I know it needs work,
but think of the potential.

- Oh, my God.
- You get a deal on a fixer-upper.

[sighs] Oh, my God.

Okay, just imagine,
instead of these

piles of garbage,
rows of sewing machines.

And, through that door

that's rusted shut, sock ovens

baking away, and...

we'd be bringing jobs back
to Detroit and changing lives.

I tried to be a good wife,
but how can I be?

All I do is cook and clean
for a man

who barely looks at me...

let alone touches me.

It is like living
with a stranger.

Ask her if she's
taken any lovers.

Mmm, I do not know
what smells better,

you or the stew.[laughing]

You always say that.[laughs]

[knock on door]
I am a sucker

for Estée Lauder and goat meat.

Kaale, Uncle.

Kaale. Hey.

That's your price

for an HVAC installation?

Well, it better be
a hybrid split system

or I'm gonna lose it.

He's been on business calls
the entire drive.

BOB: Don't jerk me around.

You're talking
to Bob Wheeler here.

I love when he tells them
who they are talking to.

Is your mother not with you?

Oh, she did not feel like it.

She said she would not be
good company.

That never stopped her before.

I love my sister,
but it will be nice

to serve a meal
- without being judged.
- Mm.

Or being told how tired I look.

I get plenty of rest.
This is my face.

And we won't have to pretend
we're hearing

Granny's stories
for the first time.

That is your grandmother.
Show some respect.

Sorry.

I don't want to brag, but I just
got a multi-zone HVAC system

for the price of a single one.

I lied, I want to brag.

Congratulations,
Bob.

Well done.

Soon, my husband
will be compressing

every foot in America.

There's still plenty to do

before the factory
is up and running.

Next, I got to find somebody
to redo the floors.

I-I know a guy.

He's got a degree
in civil engineering

and a smile
that lights up a room.

Have you done floors?

[scoffs] Have I done floors.
Olu?

He has done floors.

Sell it a little bit.

He has done floors!

Well, now I'm worried you
might be out of my price range.

I am, but I can
give you a discount.

Use promo code
"Your favorite uncle."

["Ifanla" by Sola Akingbola
playing]

Excuse me, is this the famous

MaxDot Manufacturing Company?

It sure is.
I'm Bob Wheeler, CEO.

You the floor guy?

[chuckling] We are pretending
not to know each other.

Hey, thanks again
for doing this.

Listen, I'm gonna be running
around taking care of stuff.

While I'm not here,
mi factory es su factory.

I must say, your excitement
is contagious.

[chuckles] Achoo.[laughs]

So, uh, what do you think--

should just take
- a few days, right?
- Shh.

Give me a moment.

Just needs a good cleaning,

maybe glaze it with an epoxy.

- Oh, boy.
- What "oh, boy"?

Look.

- That little crack?
- It is little now,

but in 20 to 30 years,
this will be a real problem.

Well, we don't have to worry
about that, I'll be dead.

There is a right and a wrong way
to do this, Bob.

Tunde, I got a whole factory
to get up and running,

and I can't do anything
until these floors are finished.

I understand.

I'll do it the wrong way.

Great. I got to make a call.

Do you have
a preference of color?

- Uh, gray.
- Uh, what about speckles?

- No.
- Okay.

I'm doing speckles.

E karo, Mummy. Karo.

This package came for you.

- Put it over there.
- It's from Daddy.

Yes, put it over there.

It could be perishable.

Not unless your father
threw in a farewell ham.

What does that mean?

Nothing. It is just some clothes

and bits and pieces.

Daddy sent you your things?

I told him to.

They were of no use to me
sitting in Nigeria.

Oh, Esu Aje.

It still has

the chip from when I knocked it
off the mantelpiece.

You told me
that was your brother.

Yes. It was.

Daddy's wedding ring?

Did you ask for that, too?

No.

I would have preferred the ham.

Are you okay, Mummy?

Of course I am.

Do you want to put the statue
on the mantelpiece?

We'll make room for it.

No, thank you.

I would not want to disrupt your

"anything goes"
decorating style.

[knocking]

- What's up?
- Come look at this.

Oh, the UP-2-0-1-6,

stainless steel,
sock-shaping oven.

These are the machines
that will allow us

to bring manufacturing
back to America.

- Where are they made?
- China.

I will have them installed
at the beginning of the week.

Great. Uncle Tunde should be
done glazing the floors by then.

I did not realize the Tunde
you hired was your Uncle Tunde.

You thought I knew two Tundes?

It is a very common name.

Not in Detroit.

Besides, Uncle Tunde's
more than qualified,

and he offered.
What's the problem?

The first job you have to give,
and it goes to a family member.

Wait a minute, you helped
get your cousin get a job.

You are lenient with
your family, whereas Kofo

lives in fear that
I will fire him. Kofo!

Did I do something wrong?

Did you?

I do not think so,

b-but please forgive me.

You see?

That's not...

Christina, come here
- for a minute.
- I'm on a break, Bob.

BOB:
Okay,

here's the one
we're looking at. [grunts]

It's the UP-2-0-1-6--

the Ferrari of sock ovens.

- Does it go fast?
- Uh,

it can cook 300 pairs an hour
with an estimated curing time

of three and a half minutes.
That fast enough for you?

I really do not know.[phone rings]

Hey, Tunde.

I am just calling to say
I filled in all the cracks.

What? I told you
not to worry about that.

I wanted to care
as little as you do,

but I could not.

This is gonna set us back
a whole day.

I am as disappointed as you are.

Some friendly advice:
next time you hire a contractor,

be honest about the scope
of the job.

It's a floor, Tunde.

Not yet, but it will be.

Oops, I-I have to go.

I found another crack. [laughs]

No, Tunde, Tunde. [groans][hangs up]

I don't know why I thought
it was a good idea to hire him.

Because you are a kind
and generous man.

Thank you.

But, yes, it was
a very bad idea.

[chuckles][door opens]

- Abishola?
- Y-Yes, Mummy?

Here is the menu
I want for my party.

Her what now?

I suggested we throw a
party to honor my mother.

What a wonderful thing.

Why?

Because I am worthy of honor.

And we never threw her
a proper welcoming party.

Maybe because we didn't know
she was gonna stay.

All my friends from the
church should be there.

Of course.

And you may invite some people

from the hospital.

I'm sure Kemi will come.

The lunch lady? Ugh.

I want important people.

- Okay.
- Bob,

is there anyone
you would like to invite?

I'm actually not sure
that I can make it.

- You are coming.
- Okay.

I very much enjoy your mother.

I will leave it to you if you
want to invite your siblings.

Thank you.

- Mm.
- Thanks for stopping by.

Oh, honey, I got
a bad feeling about this.

Yes, it's going
to be very awful.

But my mother is having
a difficult time

and I want to cheer her up.

EBUNOLUWA:
We will have to deep clean
this filthy house.

How about I give you $1,000

and you cheer her up
in Atlantic City?

["She Works Hard For The Money"
by Donna Summer playing]

♪ She works hard for the money ♪

♪ So hard for it, honey... ♪

I think we can cut
into this wall.

Get some electrical
feed outside.

What is that?[chuckles]

It's Uncle Tunde.
You got to love him.

[jackhammering]

What are you doing?!

♪ She works hard
for the money... ♪

[music stops]
What the hell are you doing?!

I'm working hard for the money.

You're destroying
my factory!

I had to find out the condition
of the subfloor.

And?

So far, so good.

Stop! Stop! Stop!

I have to go.

Always a pleasure
to see you, Uncle.

Goodwin.

[chuckles]
Get rid of him.

[jackhammering resumes]

For the love of God!

[jackhammer stops]

I am renting this jackhammer
by the hour.

Tick, tock, time is money.

Forget the jackhammer.
Tunde, I love you,

but we got to make
a change here.

What are you saying?

I have to let you go.

But I am Uncle Tunde.

And you always be, but I got to
get this factory going.

And I am in your way.

Right now, yes.

I understand.

Hold this.

[grunts]

Wait, what am I supposed
to do with this thing?

Try chipping away at the ice
around your heart.

Mm.

I do not like the look
of these plantains.

Oh, they are fine.

I'm sure everyone
will love them.

Yeah, Granny,
they're gonna be great.

Why is the boy speaking?

I do not know.

- Excuse me, young man.
- Hello, madam,

what can I do for you?

My daughter is having
a party for me.

Uh, that is nice. Is there
something I can help you with?

No, I just wanted you to know.

What is next?

Uh, rice for the jollof
and meat for the suya.

Okay, you and Dele go get
the rice and I will go

to the meat counter.

This is wonderful.

She's so excited
about the party

she has no time to feel sad.

Sad about what?

None of your business.
Go and get the rice.

EBUNOLUWA:
Did this goat die of old age?

I am being honored!

[music playing]

Your dad just sent her
all her stuff in a box?

And his wedding ring.

Damn, that's cold.

I think it's very generous.

She can melt the gold down
into a necklace or a tooth.

You okay?

Yeah, why?

You just, you seem stressed.

Oh, I'm fine.
Just sank every dollar I have,

plus I took a loan out
using this house as collateral

to build a manufacturing plant
that has no freaking floors.

Talking about it always helps,
though, right? [chuckles]

Sure, it's a big help.

Hey, uh, question:

are we ever gonna have a party
that's not Nigerian themed?

It's not a theme, Douglas.
They're Nigerian.

- It's a very nice party.
- Thank you.

Everything's great,
except for the plantains.

Auntie, Uncle.

- Bob.
- Hm.

I wasn't sure you would come.

We would never spit
in the face of family,

unlike some people.

She is referring to you.

I got that. Thanks.

What's going on?

My husband kindly
offered his services

and your son threw him out.

You can't throw him out,

he's Uncle Tunde.

That's what I said.

I'm not the bad guy.

He was tearing up my floor.

What are they talking about?

Bob fired Tunde.

- Bob, how could you?
- That's messed-up,

- man.
- ABISHOLA: Bob,

do we have to discuss this now?

I don't want
to discuss it at all.

I was recently let go
from a job I loved.

I know how much it hurts.

Does it get better?

I'll let you know.

All right, that's enough.

I was doing something nice
for the guy.

So, it was charity?!

Stop digging, Sock Man.

I'll tell you what
the problem is.

- Bob hates old people.
- What?

You're always talking
to me about moving out.

So, there's a pattern
of elder abuse.

There's no pattern!

Bob, you are shouting.

Please, wait to scream at Tunde

until people are done
paying tribute to me.

Let's go.

Aw, come on, guys.

Enjoy your evening, Ebun.

One day, he will
turn on you, too.

Please don't leave.

All this excitement has made up
for the terrible plantains.

Sorry I ruined the party.

Ugh, you were just
trying to help Uncle.

Might've been nice
if you mentioned that

while I was back there
taking grenades.

There's no point in the both
of us getting blown up.

Give him time, I'm sure
he will forgive you.

You don't believe that.

No.

Mama Ebun,

I want you to know
that everything

that happened tonight
- was my fault.
- Eh,

Tunde was being a baby.

Okay, was everybody on my side?

These men insist on being
honored and respected,

even when they
do not deserve it.

Where was this an hour ago?

Whether they are right or wrong,

all they care about
is their pride.

They can neglect you
for years and then have

the gall to be offended
when you ask for your things.

Are we still talking
about Tunde?

Mummy, are you okay?

I am fine.

In fact, I am better
than I have been in a long time.

I'm happy to hear that.

This is my home now,
and it will be

for as long as I live.

Good night.

As long as she lives, huh?

Yes.

She seems pretty healthy.

[plate clatters]

Yes.

Yeah.

- How is that?
- Perfect.

You are the best picture hanger
in the whole world.

[knocking]

I know what
you are doing, Olu,

and it is working.

Hi, Auntie.

Can I talk to Tunde?

He is not here.

Fine, I'll wait outside

till he goes on his
10:00 a.m. walk.

[gasps]
He knows me so well.

Hi, Uncle Tunde.

Bob.

I'm sorry for disrespecting you.

Did you hear me?

Yes.

I'm starting
to cramp here, Tunde.

You may stand.

[groans]

Look, I know
I screwed this up.

What was your first clue?

I think the problem was
I was underutilizing you.

Really?

Because I felt very used.

You're absolutely right.
You're Tom Brady,

and I made you
the water boy.

I don't care
what position I play.

I just want to be
on Team Bob.

I want that, too.

All right,

- I'll come and finish the floors.
- No, no.

God, no.

I was thinking
less "hands on,"

more "big picture" role.

We are listening.

"Babatunde Olatunji--

MaxDot Senior Consultant."

What do you say?

I know what you are doing, Bob,

and it is working.

[both laughing]

The electrician said all of
this needs to be updated.

Well, we want to make sure
we are to code.

I'll get somebody
on it next week.

They just say that to try

to get more money out of you.
Uh, let me take a look.

Tunde, we-we don't need you
to do that.

I am the senior consultant.
Let me consult.

Mr. Olatunji, please... Oh!

I've decided that

all this needs to be updated.
