ESSENCE Editors break down Molly and Dro's "open relationship" drama on HBO's Insecure.
Transcript
00:00This open marriage situation, Molly, you in danger girl.
00:07So first things first, do we even think this is a real open marriage?
00:10Because I know I don't.
00:11Absolutely not.
00:12No.
00:13I don't.
00:14No.
00:15Something's not right.
00:16An open marriage to me implies that it's not going to be someone that I have a personal
00:19connection relationship to.
00:21Now, Dro and Molly are moving into straight up affair territory and that doesn't imply
00:26open marriage.
00:27No.
00:28That doesn't scream arrangement.
00:29That screams like, I'm really stepping out on my marriage.
00:33Like, disregarding all the vows that I have with this person and I'm just, I'm going
00:37to have an affair.
00:38All my friends who are in open relationships or marriages, they always spell out the rules.
00:42It has to be rules.
00:43And that is the first thing we discuss when I ask, how does this work?
00:46They both know the rules.
00:47And never, not at one point did Dro say, these are the rules of our open relationship.
00:51He has the rules.
00:52He's got rules.
00:53Because guess what?
00:54It was very clear from the moment they were in that cupcake shop that he wanted a piece
00:58of Molly.
00:59Okay.
01:00And it was clear from that scene that he was in open marriage and Candace was not.
01:03Was not.
01:04Because she was hugging up on him real tight like this is my man.
01:07I'm worried about Molly.
01:08Wait, can we keep it funky real quick?
01:09Please do.
01:10Y'all think Molly thinks they're really an open relationship?
01:12Hell no.
01:13Let's be real about that.
01:14I think she does.
01:15That thing that happens to women who are.
01:17I think she does.
01:18I don't know if she thinks it's an open relationship but it's that thing when you're
01:21having like an affair and you think, oh there's hope.
01:24Okay.
01:25Okay.
01:26I think she may make this hope or like I'm going to make it work.
01:28You could see that glimmer.
01:29And he made vows to someone and she is never going to be able to compete with his commitment
01:34to forever even though he clearly doesn't care about it.
01:37And I think we have to be real.
01:39When things are going wrong in other aspects of our lives.
01:41We tend to sometimes try to settle in other places because we need to find some happiness.
01:45So I also wonder if everything didn't feel so wrong in Molly's life right now.
01:49If she would even be, if she'd even been open to Joe.
01:52But y'all don't know.
01:53But Molly's been looking for love.
01:54She has Sterling K. Brown right there.
01:56That's a good man.
01:57Randall is a good man.
01:58I don't think she can see him for what he is, Randall.
02:01On the front yard.
02:02Is his name really Randall?
02:03No, it's Sterling K. Brown.
02:04But that's when this is us.
02:06She called her mom and asked her mom because she was feeling conflicted because she knows it's not right.
02:11Yeah.
02:12Mom, how did you forgive dad for doing this?
02:14And her mom said, well, it sounds silly, but I just love him.
02:17Mmm.
02:18Molly, girl, you falling in love.
02:20She was wrong when she was backing that thing up at the party.
02:23Listen, slow motion.
02:24Okay.
02:25You sound really upset.
02:26I am.
02:27Can I just say, you guys are so uncomfortable watching that because that is your friend's husband.
02:32There is no reason that your behind should be on his-
02:35It was wrong.
02:36I have a question.
02:37Is she really friends with Candace?
02:38Because she's always been-
02:39Rose her friend.
02:40Exactly.
02:41Rose her friend.
02:42Yeah.
02:43Okay, but don't be grinding up on no man with a wife.
02:44Agreed.
02:45All right.
02:46I'm about to get married.
02:47I will fight everybody.
02:48Okay.
02:49We all just want to see how this-
02:50Ah, sis.
02:51I'm rolling with her.
02:52Riding with this one.
02:53Ready.
02:54Obviously, we all need to see how this resolves on Sunday.
02:57Molly.
02:58Girl, we're praying for you.
02:59Mmm.
03:00Love and light.
03:01Love and light.
03:02Be blessed.
03:03I love it.
03:04Be blessed.
03:05I love it.
