Original subtitles

Uh, Dr. Reed, is there any news on when we'll know

what's going on with Gary?

Hey! What's going on here?

[Female Narrator] Previously on Sistas.

I'm sorry, Ms. Barnes, you'll have to get

all your information from Mr. Hudson here.

Give me Pink Kesha Give me that.

Oh my God, stop! Pink Kesha!

Roots to Riches wrecks your edges!

What in blue blazes is goin' on in here?

Jordan, I...

Okay, I, I don't understand what's happening.

What, what's wrong?

Let's see if you can understand this.

[screaming]

Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa! Whoa, whoa, whoa!

-What the hell?! -Whoa!

Have you lost your damn mind?!

-Hey! -I did, but

-I -- found it! -Why did you slap me?!

[Penelope] You deserved it for what you did.

-Stop. -What did I do to deserve that?

All this time, Andi, I thought you were really

tryin' to help me.

But I see you are just like Gary.

-You're -- full of shit. -[Andi] Are you delusional

like Gary?

Are you kidding me?

Yeah, you two are two of a kind.

Penelope, let's just take a beat.

Okay, I, I, I, I'm confused, and I really don't understand.

[tense music]

My brother loved you. I thought you loved him, too.

Jordan...

I don't even understand how you're here in my home.

I left protective custody.

They tried to talk me out of it,

but someone had to be here for my brother,

because you sure as hell weren't.

Jordan...

[ominous music]

Baby, what happened?

I'm out of the race for city counselman.

What?

Yeah, the party leaders thought I should suspend my campaign

because of all the bad press and my relationship with you.

[tense music]

Okay, that's fine. I can fix this.

I'll make a few phone calls to the campaign leads...

-[Penelope] Oh my God. -And I'll make sure...

You think they'll listen to you of all people?

[tense music]

Look, it won't do any good. Okay?

They said that my campaign has been smeared with scandal

ever since the allegations of that girl came out.

[serious music]

They called him a liability.

He was the frontrunner.

But because of you and Gary, he's now a liability.

Jordan, when did they...?

After he got hauled in by the FBI

and questioned about the attempted murder of Gary.

It was the last straw.

I'm so sorry, I didn't realize.

Oh, save it.

How could you?

I haven't heard from you since the night Gary was stabbed.

Okay, I, I wanted to call you, I wanted to see you,

but I was advised against it.

By my counsel.

What crackpot lawyer told you that?

[serious music]

My attorney is Robin Autry.

I, I know how it sounds...

Your ex-boyfriend?

Okay, I am sorry.

Oh, that, that, that is rich, Andi.

Wow, you just love to circle the block, don't you?

You couldn't wait to get rid of my brother.

I wouldn't be surprised if it was you that pointed the FBI

in Jordan's direction.

I would never do that, I love your brother.

You don't love anybody but yourself,

and maybe that demented bastard Gary.

Penelope, you know that's not true.

Then what is true, Andi?

-Jordan, I... -[Penelope] You know what?

No, no. Save it, Andi.

[sighing heavily]

Penelope, I have done nothing but try to be there for

both of you.

There for us? You were there for us, alright.

You were there to make sure that we -- lost everything!

[Andi] How can you say that?

I'm the one who told you to leave Gary.

-Many times. -Oh, yeah.

You were just saying that so you could get me out of the way

so that you could get back with Gary.

Penelope, you know that's not true.

Then how, please explain to me,

did you end up in a -- wedding dress,

about to marry him?!

Do you have an answer for that?

'Cause you sure as hell didn't when I tried to stop you

from marrying Gary.

[Penelope] You know what?

Jordan, don't even bother,

because she is just gonna try to lie her way out of this,

just like she did when she convinced me

to go into protective custody.

I wanted you to go into protective custody

for you and that baby.

No, don't, don't! Let me go, Jordan.

Don't you dare bring up my baby.

I lost my child because of you and Gary's sick games.

[tense music]

[Penelope] You know, I bet you knew he would attack me.

How could I have known that, Penelope?

I told you to leave him!

I told you to pack your bags and leave.

You decided to confront him alone!

So, you're blaming me

-for what happened to my baby? -No, no, no.

-Huh? -No, I'm saying

that I just, I just wish things were different.

If I could change them, I would, I promise.

You can't, can you?

I loved you, Andi.

I thought we had a future together.

[serious music]

Did you ever even love me?

Jordan, of course. I still do.

I still do.

Well, you have a funny way of showing it.

You know, you and Gary? You are evil, Andi.

You deserve each other.

Look...

I know you think this is some big, maniacal plot to hurt you,

but I would never hurt you both.

In fact, I never tried to hurt you, either of you.

Jordan, that's not me. Tell her!

That is not me, you know that.

I thought I did...

[tense music]

But I don't know who you are anymore, Andi.

[tense music]

? My girls hold me down ?

? When them boys mess around ?

? My love life is a headache ?

? We're goin' out tonight ?

? 'Cause I'm lookin' for love ?

[ominous music]

It's not what you think.

I, I had no choice.

You always have a choice, Andi.

Damn right, and you chose the devil.

Okay, if there was another way I promise, I would've...

What, jumped at the chance to become Gary's wife?

[ominous music]

That's not what I wanted.

Look, I need you to believe me.

Yeah, I wish I could.

Jordan, don't listen to any more...

He was blackmailing me.

What?

He threatened to ruin your life and kill you.

[ominous music]

And I know Gary. He was not bluffing.

That's why you agreed to marry him?

Yes, I was protecting you.

[ominous music]

Jordan, you cannot possibly believe her.

[ominous music]

It's the truth.

[ominous music]

[Penelope] You wanna know what's the truth?

I caught Gary masturbating in your bathroom

while smelling your -- underwear, Andi.

-What? -He did what?

[serious music]

When did this happen, Penelope?

The night you and Jordan had Gary and I over for dinner.

Gary's twisted ass was probably fantasizing about

the next time you two would be in bed together.

Was that you and that sick son of a bitch's idea of foreplay?

Jordan, you were with me! We were right there together!

How could I have known he was doin' somethin' so vile?

[tense music]

Hi, guys.

So, the real reason you didn't wanna go to lunch with me

was because you wanted to go to lunch with Danni?

-[Sabrina] What? -You could've just

told me that, Sabrina.

Baby, I didn't go to lunch with her and ditch you.

-Oh, that, that's funny. -[Sabrina] What?

'Cause yet, here we are.

I know you two were in a deep conversation

when we walked in.

You care to share what you were talkin' about?

Oh, baby, I was telling her about

the really amazing opportunity you got for me at work.

Oh, that's funny,

because when I wanted to talk to you about that,

you didn't wanna do it.

But no disrespect, I see you can talk to Sabrina.

You know, that's funny,

'cause when we were talking about it at work,

people actually kinda stood around.

You actually said let's stop talking about it,

-and talk about it later. -Tony.

She just merely, barely shared just a teensy bit of

the surprise that you had for her, and that's it.

That's all.

Hm, when I asked you if you were busy,

you said you had to stay at the bank.

Please make this make sense.

-Rich, no bullshit. -[Sabrina] Okay...

I begged her. She wasn't gonna come.

But I begged her.

I told her it was code ten,

I needed my only sane friend's advice.

-Yeah. -Oh, I see.

You needed Sabrina's approval to join the leadership program

that I got you into.

Bingo.

Why don't you both join us for lunch?

I'm hungry. It smells so good in here.

Yeah, you know what? Actually, yeah.

Could I get some silverware? Some steak knives?

[laidback beat]

[nail tapping] [Danni] Uh...

[upbeat music]

Roots to Riches wrecks your edges!

Roots to Riches wrecks your edges!

Roots to Riches wrecks your edges!

What in blue blazes is goin' on in here?

Karen? Pam?

Well, um...

Stop the stutterin' and speak!

I, I, we, 'cause we... The, the...

-I'll tell you what's goin' on. -Okay.

See, they's shits products done snatched out my edges.

Look! Uh-huh, see, look.

-It, it did that? -Uh-huh, mm-hm.

Roots to Raggedy done burned down all my edges,

and I want reparations.

They should be in jail for sellin' this poison.

Okay, somebody needs to be explainin' somethin'.

What they gonna say?!

I hope you're not here to buy a jar of that chemical pill.

This stuff needs to be snatched off the shelves immediately!

Okay, you made your point. Now I need to speak to them.

Ooh, okay, okay, Miss Ma'am, Miss Ma'am.

I'm just tryin' to help you out before you end up like me.

You know what?

I should've known somethin' was up

once my scalp started smokin'!

-Smoke? -[Woman] Smoke!

What, what kind of ingredients would you put in your product

to make it burn like that?

Nothin', I don't think.

Oh, you don't think?

Girl, that stuff had my smoke detectors goin' off!

I want some answers right now!

And I want two acres in Jamaica

with all the rum that I can handle.

But that still won't bring back my edges.

Is this how you run your business?

-No. -I cannot believe

you allow your salon to be run this way.

-I, I don't, I don't. -Yes, but you know what?

She won't be running anything much longer

if I have anything to do with it.

[laidback music]

Oh wow, that looks tasty.

[laidback music]

Whew.

Hayden, what the -- are you doin'?

That does not look like Benson, Jones, and Leeland work.

Yeah, because it's,..

Because it's not!

[Hayden] Ooh.

What the --?

I know your old boss used to just

let you do whatever you want,

but you will not be stealing company time on my watch.

[serious music]

She's still my boss, and I'm not stealin' shit.

Well, she's not your boss right now, is she?

[serious music]

I believe that I currently hold that title.

[laidback music]

You better move your feet before you draw back a -- nub.

[chuckling]

[Hayden] Whoa, whoa, whoa.

Well... [clearing throat]

You better watch your tone and your delivery

before I report you for bein' insubordinate.

Spell "insubordinate".

[laidback music]

-Yeah. -[Hayden] Look...

I got some work for you to do.

[laidback music]

What is this?

I need you to go through Andi's files from the last quarter,

find me discrepancies.

Hayden, I...

I worked on all this stuff with Andi.

What are you...? What?

That's probably why there's so many errors.

What errors?

Well, you got your nose in a book.

You're makin' mistakes.

Such as?

Such as Mr. Shallott's file.

His name is spelled with a T,

when in actuality, it's spelled with two Ts.

See, spelling names correctly in legal matters,

that would've been the first thing

they taught you in law school.

Well, any school, for that matter.

Hayden, his name is spelled with two Ts right here on the file.

What?

Well, it's obviously spelled wrong in a different file.

[serious music]

Where?

[chuckling] Well, that's your job, isn't it?

So, hop to it.

Why don't you hop the -- out my face?

Ah, ah, ah. Watch that tone.

You know what?

I'm gonna go ahead and give you some free advice

in case, uh, you do actually become a lawyer.

Judges, they don't really like attorneys with smart mouths.

And I'm guessin' you're the judge in this scenario?

Oh, I'mma be on the bench well before you ever are.

[serious music]

Hayden, the only bench you'll be seeing

is one in Piedmont Park

where you'll be shivering after Tamara wipes out

all your bank accounts.

Oh...

Now, I wonder if you're gonna have all these funny quips

when Robin goes back to London...

-[Fatima] Mm. -And leaves me

as the HNIC instead of Andi.

Yeah, okay.

Just a matter of time.

[serious music]

Keep up the good work.

[serious music]

--.

[serious music]

Okay, Jordan, just listen to me.

No, I think I've heard enough.

Thank God.

Jordan, I just...

Easy.

He doesn't need to hear any more of your lies, Andi.

And neither do I.

Penelope, when I found out you were with Gary,

I've done nothing but care about your well-being.

-My well-being? -[Andi] Yes.

Or your self-interest, huh?

You know, I had a lot of time to think

when I was in protective custody,

and I wondered why, why would Gary's ex

be so eager to help me

unless there was something in it for her?

All that thinkin', and that's what you came up with?

Yeah, that's what I came up with.

You know what?

I bet you knew that I would find out

that Gary was living a double life

when I snooped around in his office, didn't you, Andi?

And how could I have possibly known what you would find

in his office?

Because maybe you planted it there!

All a part of your plan to just drive a wedge

between me and the father of my baby.

Wow. Okay, girl.

And you know what? Jordan, stop.

There was that convenient story about the prom date.

What's her name? Um...

-Kimberly. -Kimberly Porter.

Great, great job at terrifying me, Andi.

I played right into the palms of your hands.

You know what? Girl, I gotta give it to you.

Because you are an expert at psychological warfare.

Penelope, what is it, honey? What's your story?

Am I some maniacal brainiac

who was able to manipulate both of you

so that I could get back with Gary?

Or is that I'm great at psychological warfare?

Make up your mind, and make it make sense.

Do not talk to my sister like that.

Thank you, brother.

You know what, there was, um,

one other thing I found in Gary's desk.

Indulge me.

A picture of you.

[serious music]

I think it's pretty obvious that Gary never really got over you.

Was the feeling mutual, Andi?

No! I keep telling you that.

And so what, there was a picture in his desk?

Maybe from when we were dating, which was before I met you.

Baby, I...

Oh my God, this woman has an answer for everything.

Have you been playing me this entire time?

No, but the question is, why don't you believe me?

'Cause my life is in -- shambles, Andi!

[Penelope] That is what they wanted all along,

was to destroy us.

You know, I don't know why we were chosen,

but congratulations.

You and Gary succeeded.

Easy.

But you know what, Andi?

Don't you worry your pretty little head.

Because just like you, payback is a bitch.

[Rich] I thought we had an honest relationship.

We do have an honest relationship.

You know, I don't open up to you because

you just don't ask me questions, you just do.

I did not withhold information, this was an emergency situation!

Every day I ask you how you're feeling.

You ask me how I'm feeling, but you don't ask me what I want.

You don't ask me about who I am.

I did, there's just emergency situations

-everywhere I go. -So, there's just emergencies

-everywhere? -Yes!

Just... [imitating sirens]

You said I need guidance!

[Sabrina] Guys, guys, guys!

-Sometimes you can. -Guys!

[upbeat music]

We can not be talking over each other like this.

Well then, let me say it to you like this, baby,

'Cause I don't understand what's going on.

Why you think you know everything?

[Rich] I'm sorry, I know I'm looking a certain way.

That's why I'm asking you, so that I can get

a feel for what it is that you want.

Bring it in, bring it in, bring it in, bring it in.

Please, shh.

[awkward music]

Please, we're literally yelling in the restaurant.

Yeah, we are those -- right now, she's right.

Sabrina's right.

How about I talk first?

[upbeat music]

-Sabrina. -That's not a first.

What is it that Danni told you about the leadership program

that I got her in?

-Okay... -No, no, no, no, no, no, no.

I'm right here, you talk to me. You leave her alone.

Then answer the question.

I told her that you volunteered away

my nights, my weekends for a career

I don't even -- want

without talking to me, consulting me,

asking how I felt, or what I thought.

That's what I told her.

I was only trying to help you.

[Danni] Well, you know what?

You should've asked me what I wanted

before you tried to help me.

I thought you'd appreciate me trying to do something nice

-for you, or a good gesture. -[Danni] I'd appreciate

If you realize that I've made it through life this far,

I know how to tie my own -- shoes

without your instructions.

And that I am capable of making decisions for myself.

Danni, I don't think he's trying to make decisions...

I just wanna ask you somethin' right now.

In this moment,

what made you think defending him was the right thing to do?

In the, in the history of our friendship.

Backing up, I'm out.

You're on the wrong side of history, I'm sorry, I'm sorry.

See, that's the thing.

You look at it as her defending or picking sides.

The truth is, you're just so caught up on your own thing

that you can't see that I'm trying to support you.

It, it sounds like you just caught her off-guard, bro.

You know what, I got it fam. Thank you.

Okay.

[Danni] I got a question.

When did support become forcing someone

into who you want them to be?

That's what I wanna know.

I was not trying to force you into anything.

I was trying to help you.

How many times do I have to say it?

I was trying to help you.

-Guys... -Not force, help!

You know, when I need your help, I'll ask for it, okay?

-Guys... -[Danni] If you say help me

-one more time... -Danni...

No, someone's gonna have to help him outta here.

Okay, white flag it. White flag it.

[Danni] They will, they will, I'm just sayin'.

Okay.

[laidback beat]

I better get goin'.

These packages ain't deliverin' themselves.

So, we gonna figure this out, alright?

Yeah, um, excuse me, excuse me.

-Bye, Trey. -[Trey] Uh, yup, thank you.

Buh bye. Buh bye.

I don't want no parts.

Roots to Riches wrecks your edges!

Roots to Riches wrecks your edges!

Is that fine-ass man the reason you were so distracted

that you didn't check the ingredients

before you brought your product to market?

Oh, Trey? He's just for fun.

You know that.

Money over men.

[Karen] Ms. Marie, we can explain, okay?

Well, you better do some explainin',

all the money I put into Roots to Riches.

Oh! Oh.

So, you the bankroll behind this bum-ass product.

I would think twice before I said another word, young lady.

No, I'm just sayin', that's good.

'Cause you can run me my coins once I sue y'all.

Mm-hm.

Yeah, look like you got a whole lotta scrilla, too.

Ooh, ooh, what's that? Is that a Suyatchi?

Mm, that costs, like, what, two bands, don't it?

Oh, darlin'. It's called Satchi.

[Vanessa] Yeah, I know. That's the name of it.

Mm-hm, you know, I seen it in Paris in fashion week.

-That's where I saw it. -You, in Paris, fashion week?

Who, girl, me?

Oh, no, girl, I saw it on social media.

It was trending. You wanna see it?

Would you get this insufferable woman

outta my face?

Insufferable? Okay, listen.

I don't know what that means,

but someone's gonna be suffering behind these missing edges!

[bass-heavy music]

-Mm-hm. -We're so sorry, Ms. Marie.

We are. We are, I'm so sorry.

Not as sorry as you're gon' be.

But don't worry, Miss Ma'am,

I won't hit your pockets too hard.

See, I already let them know that I'll be suing them

for $400,000,

or they can give me this really nice salon.

But you know what?

I'm thinkin', you know, we could settle

outside the courts for about, mm...

$350,000. How about that, hm? [gasping]

Roots to Riches wrecks your edges!

Roots to Riches wrecks your edges!

[serious music]

[bass-heavy music]

[Zac] Hello?

Hey, babe.

What are you doin'?

Picking up our son's toys off the floor.

What's up?

[Fatima sighing] Nothin', just...

Same old shit.

[Zac] Hayden again?

Yeah.

[Zac sighing] What'd he do now?

He just keeps taunting me,

thinkin' he can say and do anything

'cause he's my temporary supervisor.

He ain't doin' nothin' inappropriate, is he?

[Fatima sighing] No, just bein' an ass.

Then he pulled all of Andi's case files

from the last quarter,

talkin' about goin' through 'em, and check for discrepancies.

Didn't you work with Andi on those files?

[Fatima] Exactly. Oh, and get this.

He also said that my studying for law school at the office

is hindering from actually doing my job.

Baby, baby, relax.

[laidback music]

He's only actin' like that because he wants you

and he can't have you.

You know that.

What you want me to do? Want me to egg his car?

No, Zac, I just...

There's a whole fresh carton of eggs in the fridge, please.

No, I don't need you getting into any more trouble.

Especially not since we have Michael.

Yeah, you right.

Speakin' of Michael,

I have a meeting with his teacher soon.

Well, make sure you're on time.

I don't want her callin' me again.

They already callin' you?

I'm not gonna be late. Even when I'm late, I'm on time.

[Fatima] Okay, Mr. On Time.

Talk to you later. I love you.

I love you more.

[Fatima] Alright, bye.

[laidback music]

[Sabrina] Rich, do you wanna help me out here?

Oh, baby, I'm not worried about our friends

and their trust issues.

We clearly have plenty of our own.

What, are you really doing this

because I came to have lunch with Danni?

[Rich] I mean, I'm just sayin'.

It's interesting that I'm, like, low on your list of priorities

when I was at the top of that list

when you were desperate for my sperm.

-What? -What the --, Rich?

[Sabrina] Are you seriously talking about this right now?

I mean, do I look serious?

Look, if you didn't wanna go to lunch with me, baby,

that's all you had to say, "I didn't wanna go to lunch."

You didn't have to make up some lie.

I didn't lie to you, Rich! I was busy at the bank.

You were there, you saw that,

and then Danni called me because she was...

In distress...

And I came to help her.

What is so hard for you to grasp about that?

I got it.

See, this is, is grasping. Okay?

And it's clear to me that your relationship with your girls

is way more important than a relationship

you're building with me.

Now I know where I stand on your list of priorities.

Am I close? No?

Rich, I, I gotta be honest with you, brother.

It, it's just a reach, you know?

-Danni, just... -This is like...

-Stay out of their business. -Olympian long jump leap.

Why don't you stop telling me what to do?

[Sabrina] Oh my gosh.

-Stop. -Got a finger pointing.

What to do.

[serious music]

Hm?

Can we talk about this in private?

Please?

Yeah, I mean, if you can find time to pencil me in,

between runnin' to Danni and

Andi's rescue all the time, yeah.

Go off, Rich.

-[Sabrina] What? -Go off, 'cause this is...

[laidback music]

[trilling lips] -- long-jump leap, am I right?

-One too many drinks. -Yeah, I really don't...

What?

It doesn't matter if we talk in public or in private.

Rich, you haven't figured that out by now?

These girls don't hide anything from each other.

Isn't that right, Danni?

Girls, it's funny you should mention girls,

because y'all the ones

who gossip like high school cheerleaders.

I mean...

Hold on, hold on, they talkin' about us gossipin'.

I'm sorry, all y'all women do is gossip.

-[Tony] All day. -You gossip, gossip,

and then you run and clean up one of Andi's messes again.

-Okay... -Rich, tell me somethin'.

Are you obsessed with Andi?

'Cause you, we should know, she deserves to know.

I do need to know. I do at this point.

Because I am so confused.

Ever since Gary's been stabbed,

you're doing this weird veiled passive aggressive thing

towards Andi, why?

You know, I, I, I don't,

I don't know, I don't know if you get it,

but it's like this woman -- up my best friend's life.

-Okay. -Right?

-Mm-hm. -Is that,

is that hard to understand?

I mean, you're not the only one who cares for their friends.

[Sabrina] Okay.

So, I see this funky attitude is about Jordan.

Clearly, right?

'cause it has nothing to do with

-me going to lunch with Danni. -No.

I, I do have a kind of a level of emotional intelligence

where I can be simultaneously pissed off

about two different things.

-Me too, me too. -You have an, uh, level of

-emotional intelligence? -[indistinct]

Then if you did have that level of emotional intelligence...

Keep talkin' to me, Tony.

Then you would understand that I have to go help my friend!

-Help your friend? -[Sabrina] Yes!

[laidback beat]

[Andi] What do you mean by payback, Penelope?

[Penelope] It's already in motion.

[serious music]

What exactly are you saying?

Oh, you're gonna find out soon enough, just like Gary.

[serious music]

Penelope, do you have information on

what happened the night that Gary was stabbed?

Okay, is this bitch serious right now?

How dare you accuse my sister?!

Well, your sister, Penelope Williams,

just threatened my life,

and is making false accusations about Gary,

and is saying that she's going to pay us back.

For what, Penelope?

What am I supposed to believe?

Not that I'm some deranged stabber, Andi.

You know, I wouldn't think so typically,

but you have been a little unhinged.

Okay.

Oh, yeah, is that what we're doin'?

'Cause the first one was for free.

-Let me go! -The second one,

-I won't be so forgiving. -Oh, yeah?

-[Andi] Yeah, yeah, yeah. -Damn it, Penelope, stop it!

We did not come here for this.

Yeah, alright. Alright, Andi.

Then what did you come here for, besides insulting me

and making false accusations?

I came here to look you in the eye

and see if there was any semblance of

the woman that I fell in love with.

The Andi that I used to know.

That Andi would've never dumped me

to get back with Gary.

And if you're wondering why I came here,

it is to make damn sure that my brother stays out of

your web of deceits.

[Jordan] We should go.

Jordan, I need to talk to you privately.

[serious music]

She can go.

[serious music]

[Ladies] Roots to Riches wrecks your edges!

Roots to Riches wrecks your edges!

Roots to Riches wrecks your edges!

Young lady, you must be out of your natural-born mind

if you think I'mma give you a red cent.

So, you gon' run me my money. Or else.

Or else what?

[serious music]

Wait a minute, what is...? Let me see that.

Girl, back up off me! Girl, don't you touch me!

Huh, huh, huh, huh, huh!

Shoot, before you put something else on me

to make my eyebrows fall out next.

You must think this the circus and we some clowns, huh?

Girl, what is you talkin' about?

You shaved your edges!

-[Vanessa] Me?! -With your schemin' ass!

[Ms. Marie] You got to be kiddin' me.

Ain't no chemical burn! I felt stubble.

Oh, thank you, Jesus!

Lord, I swear I'mma start goin' back to church.

Ugh, you guys don't know what y'all talkin' about.

[Ladies] Roots to Riches wrecks your edges!

Roots to Riches wrecks your edges!

Roots to Riches wrecks your edges!

You are a demon little miscreant.

Okay, there you go usin' them big words again.

We not takin' them lies.

Roots to Riches wrecks your edges!

Roots to Riches wrecks your edges!

This little scammin', connivin', ghetto bitch.

-Mm-hm. -Okay.

It's y'all's word against mine.

Oh, no, no, no.

It's your lies against my team of top lawyers.

And once I'm done suin' you for defamation,

you'll be lucky to find four nickels in your coochie

much less $400,000, you mendacious wench.

I don't know what "mendacious" or "miscreant" means,

but I hope that her edges don't never grow back!

[wacky music]

[Robin] Come on in.

Thank you. You got a moment?

[Robin] Yeah.

I have some time before my conference call.

Uh, what's up?

You say you have Andi's back.

That's correct.

Is that just in regards to the case?

No, I meant in general. Why?

Well, I just, I can't understand why you allow Hayden

to just run Andi's name through the mud.

[serious music]

What do you mean?

Well, he is questioning every good thing

Andi's done for this firm.

It's just not right.

[serious music]

What exactly is he saying?

For starters, he's telling everyone

that Andi won't be returning to Benson, Jones, and Leeland,

and that he's taking over all of her clients permanently.

[serious music]

Is that so?

[Fatima] Yes. And...

He really just dumped her entire case load

from the last quarter,

asked me to go through them for any discrepancies.

Okay, well, that's not unusual.

We all need to doublecheck our work from time to time.

Robin, I worked all those cases with Andi.

I know 'em like the back of my hand.

There aren't any discrepancies.

Okay.

I mean, and if he was tryin' to be so thorough,

why wouldn't he give me some of his cases

and let me look through those?

You make a fair point.

I don't think you understand the hateful things

Hayden has been doin' since you've been gone overseas.

[serious music]

Elaborate, please.

He just, he taunts and tortures me and Andi.

Any and everyday,

just because he knows he can get away with it.

None of the other partners intervene?

He's got 'em all fooled.

[serious music]

I thought you'd be different.

[serious music]

Tell me more about Hayden's been up to.

[serious music]

Come on, buddy.

Yeah. We back home.

[calm music]

Come on, let's go have a seat. You okay?

[calm music]

Have a seat. There we go.

Let's see what we got here.

[inaudible]

I'm so proud of you, man.

Your teacher said you're doin' a good job.

You're gettin' good, pickin' up on your social cues.

You havin' fun?

That's what's up. Can I get a high five?

[calm music]

Ah, that's Daddy's boy.

Did they give you homework already?

[calm music]

You wanna do homework?

You wanna get a snack first? How 'bout we get a snack first?

Let's see...

Oh, man.

Mama 'Tima didn't pack you no snack?

Uh, let's see what we got. What we got in the fridge?

We got some eggs.

You don't want no eggs?

Nah, we gotta save those for the evil Mrs. Hayden, anyway.

Um, we got fish sticks or nuggets.

Nuggets.

[calm music]

[Michael] Nuggets.

Did you just say nuggets?

-Say it again. -Nuggets.

You want fish sticks or nuggets?

Nuggets.

You said nuggets! You said nuggets!

You said nuggets, my boy said nuggets!

Say it again.

-Nuggets. -Nuggets, nuggets!

You said nuggets!

Oh my God, I can't believe you just said your first word.

Uh...

Shoot, I gotta, I gotta, I gotta call Mama 'Tima.

You wanna call Mama 'Tima?

Oh God, I gotta call Fatima.

He said nuggets, he said nuggets.

My boy said nuggets.

I'm so proud of you, boy. Don't hide your face.

You said nuggets.

You said nuggets!

You said nuggets!

Jordan, let's go.

Jordan, I need to talk to you privately.

She can go.

[serious music]

Jordan.

Let's go.

[Jordan] Just go downstairs.

Don't fall for any more of...

Stop.

Trust me, I got this.

Go wait in the car.

You cannot be serious.

Go.

[serious music]

This isn't over.

[serious music]

I'm going.

[serious music]

Thanks for staying.

[Jordan] Okay.

[clapping]

You got me here alone.

What's suddenly so important that

you needed to talk to me about?

Baby, I just want to say I'm sorry.

I'm sorry about all of this.

Everything that happened, it wasn't my intention.

You said all of that already.

Yeah, I said it with my words, but I want you to feel my heart.

[serious music]

Your sister has it all wrong.

[serious music]

I was done with Gary the moment I met you.

And I certainly wouldn't conspire with him against you.

[serious music]

I want, I want to believe you, Andi.

-[Andi] Then believe it. -But I can't.

[tense music]

In fact, I can't even stand to look at you right now.

[tense music]

Jordan, Jordan...

[serious music]

A chemical burn will seem like a dream

when I get through with you

if you ever utter another false claim about my product.

Now, carry your narrow ass out my face

before I snatch the rest of them edges out your head.

And that weave, too.

Okay, okay, damn! Shoot.

Y'all can't blame me for tryin' to come up real quick, okay?

It's a recession.

Ugh, let's go, y'all!

[Pam] Bye.

[laidback music]

Mm.

Some nerve.

Whew, whew, whew!

[laidback music]

Thank you, Ms. Marie, for stepping in.

Thank you so much.

And thank you, Karen,

for bustin' her little plan wide open.

Now I can get back to sellin' my Roots to Riches.

Not so fast.

Now, she may have been a, a skank tryin' to come up,

but she highlighted a very important issue.

I was a little too distracted with my divorce

to do my due diligence

before I invested in Roots to Riches.

[serious music]

You want your money back, don't you?

No, I do not.

But I do not like your defeatist attitude, either.

That is no way to be an entrepreneur or a mother.

You cannot just give up.

[calm music]

I'm sorry, you're right.

And the sorrys got to go, too.

Okay.

Ms. Marie!

But while I don't want my money back yet,

I do want a detailed business plan,

and I want it by the end of the week.

I'm also going to have a quality assurance team

look at all the ingredients in Roots to Riches

so that no ones edges actually do fall out.

-Okay. -Yes, absolutely.

We will get that right to you.

We promise we won't let you down.

-[Karen] No. -Oh, you will not let me down,

or she will not be the only one who doesn't have some edges.

'Cause I will snatch all that hair out your head.

Gosh.

Think she'd do it?

She'll definitely do it.

Who was that?

Oh, Mama...

Do we need a second opinion? Anyone?

Okay, guys. Guys, guys, guys!

-I'm trying to let it go. -Guys, guys, guys.

-Please, please, please, please. -But you're talkin' crazy.

We are literally sitting here blaming each other,

we're talking over each other.

[laidback music]

We're not gonna get anywhere.

Sabrina's right.

[Sabrina] Thank you.

Finally.

[laidback music]

Are we good, or...?

[laidback music]

You tell me.

[laidback music]

See?

Sabrina, there's no point. Okay?

These men are dedicated to being, you know,

titty-suckin' babies 'til the day they die.

Okay.

We the ones that's actin' like babies?

This whole time, you been throwin' a temper tantrum.

Enough. Enough.

[laidback music]

Let's stop creating problems when there aren't any.

Okay?

-There's problems. -[Sabrina]There are no problems.

[laidback music]

Rich, baby, look at me.

You're very, very high on my priority list, okay?

You sure?

Positive.

-Okay. -[Sabrina] Okay?

Okay. Alright, cool.

Alright, maybe, maybe, maybe I was in my feelings a little bit.

Just, yeah.

-Just a little bit. -Baby, just stay out of

their business, please.

[Danni] You know what, Tony?

Why don't you just [indistinct]

Put some strings on my arms,

just stick your arm right up my ass,

'cause clearly you think I'm your puppet.

-Clearly! -We're still in public!

No, no, Sabrina, it's cool.

I see that you wanna be mature, work things out with Rich.

Whereas pullin' away from her man when she's upset

-is more Danni's MO. -[Rich] Mm.

[laidback beat]

-Hm? -No, it's cool,

'cause that's the second time today

I have been compared to you and other women.

So, with that, I will bid you all a----do.

No, no, Danni, please. Where are you going?

I'm getting the hell outta here.

-No, do not go. -Yeah, I am.

And you drank today?

-Please! -Oh, that's fine, that's fine.

I'll just call a rideshare, it's cool.

-What? -Yeah.

Yeah. Yeah, yeah, yeah.

No, no, let her go if she wants to go.

-It's fine. -Tony...

[Danni] See? You know what, babe?

That's why they pay you the VP bucks.

-You're gettin' it. -[Sabrina] This is not...

I'm leaving 'cause I wanna go. See that?

-I want, I do. -[Tony] Well, go, then!

Go, 'cause we always know Danni gets what Danni wants.

[Danni] You know what I want you to do?

-[Sabrina] Danni... -[Danni] Mm, I want you to kiss

-this sweet ass, goodbye. -[Sabrina] Oh my God.

Wow.

Danni, please!

I don't even know why I bother sometimes.

Man, I swear.

[Sabrina] Tony!

[laidback music]

What?

What are you doing?

[laidback music]

-Rich! -Tell, tell...

Alright, go get your girl, man.

She, she, make sure she's good, okay?

I know, I know. Hey, I'm...

See, I'm with you. Just make sure she's safe.

[laidback music]

Why are you still sitting here? Why are you still sitting here?

[laidback music]

Alright, alright.

[Rich] I'll catch you later, bruh.

Oh my God.

[laidback music]

That's your friend.

And that's your friend.

[upbeat music]

Well, you've given me an earful.

I must admit, I was not aware of the depth of Hayden's misdeeds

during my absence.

Well, it goes much deeper.

I'll handle Hayden.

I appreciate it, Robin.

-Certainly. -[Fatima] Okay.

Let me remind you, however...

[tense music]

Hayden's still your acting supervisor.

So, I need you to make this work, Fatima.

Seriously?

After...

We have enough unrest here, okay?

I need my people to get along while we sort all this out.

[serious music]

Alright, I'll play nice.

Thank you.

[serious music]

I appreciate your teamwork.

[serious music]

Um, before I go, I just wanted to ask you just one more thing.

-Um... -Go ahead.

Have you come up with any leads

that could take the heat off Andi?

[serious music]

As a matter of fact, I have.

-Really? -[Robin] Mm.

[serious music]

What is this?

Take a look.

[serious music]

What? Robin, why do you have these?

[Robin] I think the better question is

why was Gary's security detail throwing you out on your ass

the same night he was stabbed?

[serious music]

You care to explain?

[dramatic music]

Every good criminal case comes down to three things.

Means, motive, and opportunity.

And we've already figured out the motive.

[Female Narrator] Next on Sistas.

Which brings us to the means.

Or should I say, the intended means.

I thought I'd come by

and deliver the latest news personally.

Spit it out, Wyatt.

There's been another attempt on Gary's life.

Whoever administered it was determined to make sure

that Gary Borders never wakes up.

[serious music]

I told you, I will always be here when you need me.

[serious music]
