00:00You were an important part in my life.
00:01I have a team.
00:02I have a hair.
00:04Previously on Sistas.
00:05I broke up with Hayden.
00:08I swear I'm too tired to even care.
00:09This is Reginald.
00:11Reginald Vaughn, I hope I'm not disturbing you.
00:13For some reason, I can't seem to get you off my mind.
00:16I have an urgent meeting.
00:17Urgent meeting this time of night.
00:19Where was he even going?
00:20We gotta get you cleaned up.
00:21Over here smelling some stale-ass buttermilk.
00:25I'm Frank.
00:26Frank Givens.
00:27If it isn't Richard the bitch,
00:46yo, what the f*** is going on, Sabrina?
00:48Who is this clown?
00:50Yo.
00:51Excuse me.
00:52Can you give us a moment?
00:53Pops, you don't want these type of problems.
00:54Let's go.
00:55All right, listen.
00:56I'll be right over there.
00:57All right.
00:58Okay, I'll be right there.
00:59All right, okay, all right.
00:59I'll be right there.
01:01What do you want, Rich?
01:03What the hell do you mean what I want?
01:05What the hell is all this?
01:06What, you trying to date your daddy issues out of something?
01:08It's none of your business.
01:10Okay, I see.
01:12Oh, you tripping, tripping, huh?
01:14No, I'm not tripping.
01:15I have a date.
01:17Oh.
01:18She has a date.
01:20Hey.
01:23Please don't start.
01:24A Cosby sweater.
01:25I know that's right.
01:26I'm just going to start.
01:30Andy.
01:31Hi.
01:32Hey.
01:33What are you doing here?
01:34Oh, what are you doing here, dressed like this?
01:39Oh, wait a minute.
01:40Are you lit?
01:41No, no, no.
01:42I'm not lit.
01:43I'm just, you know, getting my sexy back.
01:47Oh, you got it back.
01:48And the outfit is courtesy of Maurice.
01:51Maurice.
01:53Aw.
01:54That sounds like a setup.
01:57Sabrina, you're not built for the streets.
01:59Sadly.
02:00You know that, right?
02:03Oh, I know.
02:04I know.
02:05I'm not built for these streets.
02:07And these men out here are scary.
02:09Yeah, they are.
02:10But, you know, I'm just overplaying the nice girl.
02:14Mm-hmm.
02:14Mm-hmm.
02:15Because that got me left by a man who ended up with a white woman and didn't say a word
02:19to me.
02:20And another man who ends up screwing his friend's sister.
02:23I'm sorry.
02:24I'm sorry.
02:24What?
02:25What man are we talking about?
02:26Rich.
02:27Rich and Penelope.
02:29I caught them having sex in the juice bar.
02:31I cannot stand it, bitch.
02:33Me either.
02:34So, when did this happen?
02:35And why are you just now telling me?
02:36Are you okay?
02:37It was just a lot going on.
02:39With the Karen situation, Gary, I figured it was just too much.
02:46I was going to tell you.
02:47I'm sorry, Sabrina.
02:48You know?
02:49I don't know.
02:51Actually, you know, I'm not sorry.
02:53I'm not sorry.
02:54Because good girls never finish first anymore.
02:58So, I'm getting my sexy back.
03:00Mm-hmm.
03:00That's it.
03:01As you should.
03:03What?
03:04Rich is over there at the bar giving me the death stare.
03:07Do not give him that attention.
03:09Can't help it.
03:09He's an idiot.
03:10He should know it.
03:11Can you believe he did that to you?
03:13Me either.
03:14Um, Sabrina, are you, uh, you gonna be here a while?
03:18Are you leaving?
03:18Or what's going on?
03:19Well, actually, I just met a guy.
03:22Oh.
03:23Mm-hmm.
03:24I find you.
03:25Sabrina, you ready to get out of here?
03:27Mm-hmm.
03:28Yeah.
03:29Andy, this is...
03:31Uh, Frank.
03:32Oh, Frank.
03:33Frank Gibbons.
03:34Frank Gibbons.
03:35Nice to meet you.
03:36Frank Gibbons is giving me the vibe tonight.
03:39He-he-he.
03:40Okay.
03:41Not too much.
03:42It's a twitchy.
03:44Um, do you mind just giving us a moment so I can talk to my friend?
03:48Oh, sure thing.
03:48I'll hit up the valet, pull up the car.
03:51Okay.
03:52Why don't you go with Frank?
03:53Oh, he can wait a minute.
03:55Do you want to get a little drink?
03:56Uh, no.
03:57No.
04:07Hey, babe.
04:09What's up?
04:12Looks like you got something on your mind.
04:14What happened?
04:17Nothing.
04:20Okay, well, since you don't want to talk, I'll tell you about my day.
04:24So, we signed a new client today.
04:30Really big basketball player.
04:32And guess it was all fangirling over him.
04:37Good guess.
04:39Hayden's ass.
04:40Act like he was doing business and then started going over his stats and the moves he needed to play
04:44the next game.
04:45Damn, they had to pry the guy off of him.
04:48I don't think I've seen him that press about anyone since Tamara.
04:55What is going on?
04:56You're not even listening.
05:00Zach?
05:03I wanted to see Karen today.
05:26You should go with Frank.
05:29Have some fun.
05:30Get your little groove back with your freak-em dress on.
05:34Are you sure?
05:35Because you look too good to be eating alone.
05:37I can always join you.
05:38No, it's fine.
05:39I just came to grab some food.
05:40And I have to go back to the office, actually.
05:42So.
05:43Uh-huh.
05:44I just came to you.
05:45I just came to you.
05:45Okay.
05:45Miss Workaholic, I'm so proud of you.
05:48But please leave your phone on because I might need you for a backup.
05:51I will have my phone on and you can call me anytime.
05:54Okay.
05:55Okay.
05:55I love you.
05:55All right.
05:56I love you too.
05:56Yeah.
05:57Oh, um, don't do anything I wouldn't do.
06:00What's that?
06:01I've done everything.
06:02Okay.
06:03Have fun.
06:03Okay.
06:04I'll do this later.
06:07Oh, sorry.
06:08Excuse me.
06:09Oh?
06:10Well, if it isn't Miss Esquire, Andy Barnes herself.
06:14Now, one thing about her, she gonna find her a man.
06:17Teach me your ways, Billy Bob.
06:20Well, hopefully this one's not married this time.
06:24What you know about Andy?
06:25Oh.
06:26Uh-huh.
06:28And I can't wait until I send Sabrina this.
06:33And for your information, Maryse, you're not the only one with the scoop.
06:37I know it's wrong, but I love eavesdropping on the sister circles.
06:41They always spill the hottest coffee.
06:43It's tea, bitch.
06:45Oh.
06:46Tea.
06:46Tea.
06:46Sorry.
06:47And I loves it.
06:48Yeah.
06:49And I drinks it.
06:50Mmm.
06:50Slurp it down.
06:51Oh, my God.
06:52You're nasty.
06:53Oh.
06:54Um, speaking of nasty, didn't your ex wrap a bank?
06:58Oh.
06:59Oh.
07:02Shade.
07:04Well.
07:05But yes.
07:06I'm just saying, you know, I think it's impressive.
07:09He steals your heart, then steals some cash.
07:12Quite a man.
07:13And here you are, single and sitting with my ass, with a swoop bang.
07:20Another shot, please.
07:22And put it on her tail, okay?
07:24She's rich.
07:26Well, I invest.
07:27And speaking of rich, look at it.
07:30All right, Phil.
07:32Oh.
07:32Where's Pennell?
07:34He act like he can't hear.
07:36Look at him.
07:37We see you see us, sir.
07:40That's good, girl.
07:41You get good.
07:42And tell your little whore we closed the account, too.
07:45With a nasty ass.
07:47Oh, my God.
07:47We did?
07:48Girl, shut the fuck up.
07:49Oh, sorry.
07:50Yeah.
07:50We did.
07:51And she will receive a strongly written letter in the USPS.
07:58That's good, bitch.
07:59You really getting good.
08:00I'm proud of you.
08:03Okay, so you gonna tell me what happened?
08:09She's not in a good place.
08:12I can't even imagine with everything that's happened.
08:16It's like she was a zombie.
08:17Like, she was there, baby crying.
08:22She just spaced out.
08:23Like, she didn't even hear the baby.
08:27It's heartbreaking.
08:29Did she say anything else?
08:32No.
08:32She ain't say nothing.
08:34But, you know what?
08:36She got Aaron.
08:37Aaron's there.
08:38That's his problem now.
08:39If I'm being honest, I really don't want to talk about it no more.
08:41No.
08:41Say, hey, listen.
08:42I just, I really thank you.
08:44Fatima, I just, I, please, I don't want to talk about it no more.
08:47I'm good.
08:49Are you going down?
08:51No, I didn't.
08:52Look, I'm, I'm sorry.
08:53That's, that wasn't meant for you.
08:57I just don't have no more energy to talk about this.
08:59Respect.
09:02I just want to enjoy you, too.
09:04Can I just enjoy you, too, please?
09:06Yeah.
09:10We don't have to talk about it right now.
09:14Yeah.
09:17You know, I think I know something that might cheer you up.
09:23What's that?
09:25It's a surprise.
09:27Well, the team all don't like surprises.
09:28Come on.
09:30I think you're going to like this one.
09:35All right, go ahead.
09:37All right, go ahead.
10:07God, no.
10:08I've been grinding this forever, all right?
10:09I deserve a little pause.
10:11Forever, Tony?
10:12You're in your 30s.
10:14Exactly.
10:15And when I hear it back, that means I overachieved.
10:17Went to college.
10:18I held my family down.
10:19I ran one of the busiest airports in the country.
10:21I'm good.
10:22So, your great crescendo to all of that is laying on the couch all day?
10:28You know, I've been thinking about that.
10:33What if I got into mentorship?
10:35You know, I can talk to your own brothers, give back a little bit.
10:38It's always good to do charity work.
10:40Yeah.
10:40Or I could pick up a trade, you know, like woodworking.
10:43I could build you a dining room set or a hookah table.
10:47Ooh, a hookah table.
10:49Tony, you don't own a hammer.
10:52I know.
10:53But see, that's why I got to learn.
10:56Or I could write a book.
10:57You know, like, a how-to.
11:00I got notes.
11:02It's looking like how to lay on the couch all day.
11:05I don't know what other notes you need.
11:07You're being funny, but I am being serious.
11:09I want to write something enlightening.
11:13You know, like how to manifest your best life.
11:18Why don't we manifest some dinner?
11:19Oh, yeah?
11:20What you going to whip up?
11:21I know you lying.
11:23You think I'm going to work all day and come home and worry about what we eating and you've been
11:28sitting around?
11:29You know what?
11:29I can do that.
11:30How about this?
11:31I'll, uh, I'll order some wings.
11:34I might even get fancy throwing some fries.
11:37Is this what I manifest?
11:39You want hot lemon pepper or mild?
11:42You know what?
11:44How about this?
11:44I get the mild and the hot lemon pepper.
11:48This is easy.
11:49Dinner's served.
11:49Enter your breakfast.
11:52The end.
11:54The end.
11:57The end.
12:03Arif.
12:06Arif.
12:08Arif.
12:10Arif, come on.
12:15Arif.
12:21I've got my baby, I'm coming.
12:25Hey, shh, shh.
12:28Hey, baby.
12:30I'm slow, huh?
12:32You're steady already?
12:34Hmm?
12:36I need to take her to the living room, please.
12:41I'm just calming her down.
12:42No, just please take her to the living room,
12:45because I can't, okay?
12:46I can't breathe, Eric.
12:48You take her to the living room.
12:48All right, all right, okay?
12:50Hey.
12:52Gosh.
12:53It's okay, baby.
12:54Yeah.
13:10All right, so let me ask you a question.
13:12What is one thing that you won't compromise on?
13:15Wow, you're starting pretty heavy.
13:18Why not?
13:19Life is short, drinks ain't cheap.
13:22Okay.
13:24I will no longer compromise on my independence.
13:28I've worked really hard to be where I am and who I am,
13:32and I won't let anyone mess up my flow anymore.
13:35Respect.
13:36Yeah, I get that.
13:38So, what are your non-negotiables?
13:41Oh, consistency.
13:44I mean, I am a busy man, but I don't care how busy we get.
13:47If you say you're about something, be about it.
13:49No mixed signals.
13:52That's impressive.
13:53Coming from a man, mostly women are concerned about consistency.
13:57I mean, I don't have time for games.
13:58I love my job.
14:00I'm the first person in my family to graduate, let alone become a doctor.
14:03I'm just to take my career very seriously.
14:06I don't have it in me for any extra drama.
14:09Cheers to that.
14:15What about you, Miss Career Woman?
14:17Where do you see yourself in a few years?
14:19Marriage?
14:20Kids?
14:21I would not say kids at all.
14:25And to be honest, I don't even know if I see marriage in the future either.
14:29I hear that.
14:30You know, it's hard to find someone who understands that.
14:33I've been in situations where women want the whole family thing, and it's cool, but...
14:36But it's not for you.
14:38I'm not saying I don't want it.
14:40It's just...
14:41It's my schedule.
14:43It's crazy.
14:44I'm traveling.
14:45I'm working long hours.
14:47It's like I can't even find time for myself.
14:49I don't want to be a disappointment to my family.
14:52I get that.
14:54And speaking of disappointment, I'm so sorry.
14:56I was late.
14:57I was caught up with some friend stuff, and...
15:00I mean, you know, juggling the work-life balance.
15:03Late?
15:04That's nothing.
15:05I mean, I've had dates be mad at me because I canceled for a last-minute surgery, and I'm
15:09like, um, what do you want me to do?
15:11Tell someone to bleed slower?
15:14Not bleed slower.
15:17They don't get it.
15:18It's not just a nine-to-five.
15:20It's a 24-7 job.
15:22Exactly.
15:23Exactly.
15:24I needed that laugh.
15:26Laughter's the best medicine.
15:28I would know.
15:29I'm a doctor.
15:32Okay, that was funnier, actually.
15:34Corny, but really funny.
15:36Um, oh, um, I can also take care of my portion of the bill.
15:41I mean, I don't want to send Nick's messages.
15:44Oh, no, you're good.
15:45You may be a boss, but I'm still a man.
15:48All right, then.
15:50To being grown.
15:53And real.
16:00Look what I got.
16:06Zyko's?
16:06Mm-hmm.
16:08I figured you did this for me when I was in a funk.
16:11Thought I should return the favor.
16:13So you're just going to take my recipe like that?
16:16Actually, I put my own twist on it.
16:18You made him want extra love.
16:21I don't really have much of our archetype in it.
16:27Thank you, though.
16:28Okay.
16:33I know where to work.
16:35Come here.
16:35Oh, please.
16:36Ah, yes.
16:39Wow, you are tense, Zach.
16:44Okay, all right.
16:45Okay, okay.
16:46No, no, this ain't, this ain't.
16:50This ain't it.
16:51This ain't it, baby.
16:52I'm sorry.
16:56I know what you mean.
17:02Uh-huh.
17:04Yes.
17:14Seen it.
17:16Hey, well, you just want to talk?
17:21I've got much to say.
17:41I've got much to say.
18:02Well, I haven't drank that much ever, ever, ever.
18:12Told you, you just got to live a little.
18:14Yes, you're right.
18:17I had to live a little.
18:19This one night thing.
18:22I've never done it before.
18:23Uh-huh.
18:24Yeah.
18:25But, you know, I was thinking, like, why not?
18:30Why not?
18:31You just live a little, right?
18:33Isn't that what you said?
18:34I did.
18:35And you just needed the right guy to help you see that.
18:38Yes, I did.
18:39I can see.
18:41You, mister, mister.
18:44Frank.
18:45Frank.
18:46Frank Giller.
18:46Frank, I knew that.
18:48Oh, you're so handsome.
18:50Frank with the full tank.
18:54Okay, all right.
18:55Let's get it started now.
18:57Okay, we can start right here.
19:00Oh, so what's your vibe usually?
19:03Do you like it slow and steady?
19:09Or do you like to just, like, go for it and get into it?
19:12Well, I'm a man of mystery, but for you, I can go either way.
19:18So do women usually ask you these kind of questions?
19:21Nah.
19:22Only the real ones like you.
19:23Oh, I'm real.
19:26I'm real.
19:27Wait.
19:28Is your hair real?
19:31Excuse me.
19:32No.
19:34Were you not raised to not touch a black woman's hair?
19:37No, baby.
19:38I'm just saying, your hair is fire.
19:40I'm just trying to get a, you know, sense of what's real.
19:43I mean, what's good.
19:44You know, and if I could pull it.
19:45Excuse?
19:46I thought you might be into that.
19:47Oh.
19:49Uh, excuse me.
19:51Okay.
19:52One second.
19:56Okay, and this is my hamster.
20:00And that's the gerbil I had when I was in touch.
20:02Sabrina called him, girl.
20:03Shit.
20:03Oh.
20:05Sabrina, bitch.
20:06You called him from the meat market.
20:09Maurice, I think I made a mistake.
20:11I think I made a mistake, okay?
20:12He just asked me if my hair is real.
20:14Oh, red flag.
20:15I'm white, and I know that you can't do that.
20:18And then he tried to pull it.
20:21Oh, girl, pull?
20:22You should have started with that.
20:23I love a pull-up heart.
20:25Yeah, well, I was trying to talk to him.
20:27Talk?
20:28Girl, are you trying to do a TED talk?
20:30You trying to get railed from behind.
20:33Okay, but how am I supposed to know if he's into it or not?
20:39Girl, it ain't got nothing to do with nothing.
20:41Go in there, get yours, and get out.
20:43He's old.
20:44He may not live long.
20:48He's knocking.
20:50He's knocking.
20:51Why is he knocking?
20:53Girl, you better take your ass out there and let that man give you all the great he got.
20:58Fine, okay, okay.
21:01I'll be right out.
21:03Man, don't call back.
21:05Okay, good news.
21:07My brother Dylan is going to come meet us.
21:10He's amazing.
21:11You're going to love him.
21:12And he's recently single, and he really needs a fun night out.
21:16Brother Dylan.
21:17Mm-mm.
21:18I didn't meet my white quota for life.
21:20We fool.
21:21No, no, no.
21:22Maurice, he's really cool.
21:23You're going to like him.
21:24Really cool?
21:24Mm-hmm.
21:25Don't tell me your brother is one of them woke white boys.
21:27I swear to God, if he come into muscle, you're what's good.
21:30I'm going to beat his ass on a one and three and sing, we shall overcome.
21:34You know that one?
21:35I don't.
21:37But I promise he's cool.
21:39Cool.
21:40Now, please.
21:44I don't know who I think it is.
21:47Hi, girl.
21:48If it isn't the CEO of Roots and Bitches.
21:52That ain't what you were saying when you used it for...
21:54Uh-uh, uh-uh, uh-uh.
21:55Uh-uh.
21:55Not in my personal business in front of my friends and family and fans and folks here
21:59in this establishment.
22:01What you doing here, Maurice?
22:03Carrying on.
22:04Having fun.
22:05Maybe a threesome later.
22:08Go.
22:09You know me?
22:14I know what you're here to do, nasty.
22:18Oh, yeah, you and the bartender.
22:20Y'all getting ready to f***, ain't it?
22:22I'm doing no such thing.
22:24Mm-hmm.
22:25I'm young, but I wasn't born yesterday.
22:27Since you have it with him, tell him that me and the white girl will be having more drinks
22:32and some lemon pepper wings.
22:33I'm young.
22:34Yeah, Maureen.
22:35Not yet.
22:36But you f***.
22:43You were expecting someone?
22:47I was gonna tell you, but...
22:50Uh, tell me what, Zach?
22:55Heaven.
22:56Hi.
22:57Come in.
22:59Um, who is this?
23:01This is Heaven.
23:03She's a midwife.
23:06A midwife?
23:08Yeah.
23:09It's a pleasure to meet you, Fatima.
23:11I'm sorry, but who is she here for?
23:13Because I know she ain't here for me.
23:14You are Fatima, right?
23:17Yes, she is.
23:19I will see.
23:22Zach, are you serious?
23:23You hired a midwife without asking for this?
23:25I didn't hire anyone.
23:27She's just here for a consultation.
23:29A consultation?
23:30Zach, you should have consulted with me first.
23:32Ma'am, I am so sorry you came all this way so late.
23:34You can go.
23:35I get it.
23:36I get it.
23:37I understand it's a big decision.
23:39And I'm not here to make it for you.
23:41Okay, my job is simple.
23:44To help you both bring a beautiful, healthy baby into the world.
23:48And however you do that, that is your call.
23:50You see?
23:51She's here to help.
23:52Mm-hmm.
23:53Okay.
23:54Ouch.
23:55First things first.
23:57Congratulations.
23:58A baby on the way is a blessing.
24:00Okay, and I know it feels like a lot.
24:02I know.
24:03Yeah.
24:04Thanks.
24:05Mm-hmm.
24:06Well, let's start simple.
24:07Do you have any specific birthing preferences?
24:12Um, it's just my first trimester.
24:14I haven't even really thought that far.
24:15Fair enough.
24:16Fair enough.
24:17Are you opposed to having a midwife?
24:19Actually, I want a hospital birth with my black female doctor that I trust.
24:24Okay.
24:24And an epidural.
24:27Epidural?
24:28Yes.
24:28It's pain management, Zach.
24:30Hospitals with epidurals are very common, but there are other options, right?
24:34There's birthing centers, home births, water births.
24:37Water births?
24:38Mm-hmm.
24:38See, water births?
24:39I like that.
24:40Yeah.
24:40Exactly.
24:41It's gentle on the baby and easy on the body.
24:44See?
24:45Gentle and easy.
24:46Yeah.
24:47I'm not doing that, Zach.
24:48Look.
24:49It's okay.
24:49It's not for everyone.
24:51You got it.
24:51I am here to provide you the information, to let you know whatever you want to do is okay.
24:57All right?
24:59Let me ask you a couple questions.
25:03So, any miscarriages, complications, anything like that?
25:07None.
25:12No.
25:13No miscarriages or pregnancies.
25:15That's good to know.
25:17And there's no health issues at all, right?
25:20None.
25:20And I actually have a checkup with my OB tomorrow.
25:23OB?
25:23Yes.
25:24We're not doing that.
25:26So, the water birth thing, is that like the baby just swim out?
25:29No.
25:30Not exactly.
25:31The water helps ease the labor pains, and the baby's born into the water.
25:34The baby's used to it from being in the womb, the water.
25:36And it's just a really smooth transition.
25:39See?
25:40It's a smooth transition.
25:41You don't like that?
25:43Honestly, I just feel like this is too much too soon.
25:47At the end of the day, the goal is to have a healthy baby.
25:50And a safe delivery.
25:52And how we do that, that's up to y'all.
25:54Exactly.
25:54Right.
25:55A healthy baby and a safe delivery.
25:57At home.
25:57Exactly.
25:58I'm here for you.
26:00So, we're going to talk about this later.
26:09She's asleep.
26:15Okay.
26:17You know, Karen, I got to tell you, hearing you call our daughter, the baby, really bothers
26:23me.
26:25Okay?
26:27This is our daughter.
26:29She has a name.
26:31Right?
26:32She's not something.
26:35I know.
26:37This...
26:40All this ain't easy for me, Aaron.
26:42I'm sorry.
26:43I know it's not.
26:45All right?
26:46But I just want to make sure that you see that she's ours.
26:49Our child.
26:51I know.
26:52I'm just...
26:56I'm scared.
26:59I don't want to make any more mistakes.
27:01I can't.
27:07I can understand that.
27:10And I'm here.
27:11Okay?
27:12And what happened at the hospital was not your fault.
27:16All right?
27:17We're going to get through this.
27:20You, me, and Faith together.
27:23Okay?
27:29Two truths and a lie.
27:31Oh, hell no.
27:32I am not playing that game.
27:34Come on, come on, come on, come on.
27:34Just go with it.
27:35Don't overthink it.
27:38Hmm.
27:39Okay.
27:41Hit me.
27:42Me?
27:42Yeah.
27:44Okay.
27:45Um, I delivered a baby in an elevator.
27:49I play sax.
27:53And I've only dated white women.
27:59Okay.
28:00It has to be the, I've only dated white women.
28:03That has to be the one.
28:04Hmm.
28:06That's the truth.
28:10So you're telling me you've never dated a black woman?
28:12Look, med school wasn't diverse.
28:13Their residency wasn't much better.
28:15It's not like I wanted to do it that way.
28:16It's just how it happened.
28:18And was that your only reason?
28:20I think sometimes black women see a brother in a white coat
28:23and they think I'm either too much or banging a nurse.
28:27So are you insinuating that we don't love our black doctors?
28:32All right.
28:34Maybe I haven't looked hard enough.
28:36Mm-hmm.
28:37Mm-hmm.
28:37But I am sitting here with you.
28:39I mean, come on, I love my black woman.
28:43That's great.
28:45Prove it.
28:46I need your help.
28:48With what?
28:51I am building a case against the hospital
28:53and Dr. Cruz is my first target.
28:57Um, I'm sorry.
28:59What?
29:00So you, you brought me here
29:02and you got me loose to drop this on me?
29:08Are you, are you serious?
29:11I'm dead serious.
29:22So?
29:24Just give me a minute.
29:25It's been a lot of minutes.
29:29I mean, you promised me a tank, but it's empty.
29:34Please don't.
29:35What?
29:37You're not helping.
29:38I'm just saying it's getting gummy worm.
29:43What?
29:46What?
29:47Do you, like, need a candle or something?
29:50Maybe some H-Town?
29:53What's the issue?
29:55I don't know.
29:57Maybe you could, you know,
29:59use those lips.
30:01Yeah, no.
30:02Okay?
30:02I'm not doing that.
30:04Figure out something else.
30:05Come on, Sabrina.
30:07Help a brother out.
30:08Help a brother out?
30:10Sir?
30:11This isn't a group project.
30:14Just fix it.
30:15I don't know.
30:17Use your imagination, your hand, something.
30:20I tried that.
30:21Listen, it's not me.
30:24All right?
30:28It's stress.
30:30Stress?
30:32I'm between jobs.
30:34Being forced into early retirement, but I don't want to talk about that to you.
30:38It could be the alcohol, too.
30:40The alcohol, now?
30:41They were strong.
30:44I wish something else was strong.
30:47Wait, I have an idea.
30:49Yeah?
30:51Nova?
30:53What do you do when your little friend can't clock in?
30:58I'm sorry.
30:59I don't have the answer for that.
31:04Nova, what do you do if you can't get it up?
31:09Did you really just ask your device how to get me hard?
31:12What?
31:14Something has to be wrong.
31:15It's clearly not me.
31:17It's not you, but that's disrespectful.
31:19I'm just trying to help, Frank.
31:24Maybe I just need...
31:25Maybe I need just a rest, you know?
31:29Some time, you know?
31:31A nap.
31:32Would you like me to add erectile dysfunction remedies to your shopping list?
31:36No, Nova.
31:39Nova, cancel.
31:41This is a bad idea.
31:44Do you need help with that, too?
31:46I told you what I needed help with.
31:48Would you like me to recommend a man with proper blood flow?
31:59There.
32:00I blocked Grayson's ass on everything.
32:03The nerve of him to break up with me via text.
32:06Text?
32:07Oh, my God.
32:08How rude.
32:09Mm-hmm.
32:09Talk about I'm too much for him.
32:12Well, look, I can't help it that I'm everything.
32:14Yeah.
32:15I mean, my ex always wanted me to be his therapist.
32:17He was always like, hey, we need to talk.
32:19And I was like, don't you have friends for that?
32:21I'm not even mad, okay?
32:24I will survive.
32:26Yeah.
32:27Yeah.
32:28And another thing.
32:30These men are going to learn how to treat me.
32:32Boy, I'm not domesticated anymore.
32:36Yeah.
32:37Yeah.
32:37No more being the nice girl.
32:39The good girl.
32:40Yeah.
32:41Yeah.
32:41Cheers to that.
32:42Cheers to that.
32:43To the game.
32:44Yes.
32:45Yes.
32:47One thing about me is I'm not slowing up for a single slogan.
32:49No, and you shouldn't.
32:50You should remade.
32:52Dylan.
32:53Hi.
32:55What's up, sis?
32:56Hi.
32:56Oh, you shaved the mustache.
32:57Oh, the best for you.
33:00Oh, you're getting good.
33:01You're getting good.
33:04Who's this?
33:05Maurice.
33:06Yeah.
33:07Well, very nice to meet you, Maurice.
33:09Yeah, that's...
33:10My pleasure.
33:11We'll see about that.
33:13Mm.
33:14What you drinking?
33:15Oh, well, I was drinking white.
33:17So, why stop now?
33:19Good choice.
33:21This is pink.
33:27One more thing.
33:28If, just in case, there are any complications, we would have to go to the hospital.
33:34No, we're not doing a hospital.
33:36We did that already.
33:37We're not doing that.
33:37We're good.
33:38Okay.
33:40Okay.
33:41What?
33:41We're not.
33:42We're not.
33:43We're not.
33:43Just stay healthy.
33:45Okay?
33:46No stress.
33:48That's the key.
33:50All right.
33:50Thank you for coming.
33:51Of course.
34:06What is the problem?
34:08So, you...
34:09You really did that, huh?
34:11Did what?
34:12It was just a consultation.
34:13Zach, you should have asked me first.
34:16Are you serious?
34:17Fatima, I'm not doing the hospital.
34:19The hospital failed us, and I'm not going through that with you.
34:22Period.
34:23Zach, I get that, okay?
34:25But I'm the one carrying this child.
34:26I have to do what's right for me.
34:28Okay.
34:28I hear you.
34:29It's your body, but it's our child.
34:31I get a say in this, too.
34:33Zach, I'm not saying that you don't.
34:35Okay.
34:36But I'm the one carrying this baby.
34:37I'm the one going through it.
34:39Okay.
34:39So, then what if something goes wrong?
34:40Then what?
34:41Then we will cross that bridge when we get there.
34:43But, Zach, I need you to respect my decision, okay?
34:46And back off.
34:53Fine.
34:54We're going to talk about this later, though.
34:55No, we're not!
35:04Tell me more about Dr. Cruz.
35:05Okay.
35:06So, you came here to talk about this?
35:07I mean, I thought we came here to have drinks,
35:09get to know each other.
35:09Now, you're talking about Dr. Cruz?
35:11Okay.
35:11This can't be the first time he's done this.
35:13It's not, but I don't see how I fit into this.
35:15Well, you stood up for Karen.
35:17That mattered.
35:18That was important.
35:19Yes, and it's already cost me.
35:21Crossing Dr. Cruz has put me on the board's radar, okay?
35:24And now I have a meeting with them next week to answer for it.
35:27Okay, I understand.
35:28I am not trying to get you fired.
35:29Look, this isn't just about my job.
35:30It's a whole system, Andy.
35:33Exactly.
35:34And that's why I need your help.
35:35Okay, but I would like to not lose my entire career in the process.
35:40Reginald.
35:41Yes.
35:42Do you know how many black and brown women have been losing for decades?
35:47You just won't let up, will you?
35:48I can't.
35:54So, you're in banking with my sister, huh?
35:57Yeah.
35:57We are work besties.
35:59Yeah.
35:59You can practically write a sitcom about us.
36:02Yeah, pays the bills, keeps the lights on.
36:05You know what's so weird?
36:06You don't seem like the type to be behind a desk, though.
36:08You know, I imagine you're, like, on stage, lighting it up.
36:12You know, I hear that all the time.
36:15There was this one instance where I was to perform with Beyoncé.
36:19The blue eye would look better in the costume.
36:21Oh, my God.
36:22Maurice, you didn't tell me that you know Queen Bey.
36:25Oh, yeah.
36:25Girl, we go way back.
36:26I know a cousin.
36:28Enough about me and B.
36:30You.
36:30The career.
36:32Mm-hmm.
36:32What about it?
36:33Tell me.
36:33Well, you know, you know, work is work.
36:37But I love what I do.
36:38I just came back from a food pop-up in L.A. last week.
36:41Yeah.
36:42Big crowd.
36:43Great vibes.
36:44A chef?
36:45Mm-hmm.
36:46Okay, so tell me, do you make avocado toast?
36:50Um, tsunami.
36:52Ha, ha, ha.
36:53So funny.
36:54I didn't like that.
36:55So funny.
36:56More like full brisket and mac and cheese.
36:58You know, the kind that makes you want to slap your mama ass for seconds.
37:01Whoa.
37:02You're my mama.
37:03Uh-huh.
37:04You better snap.
37:08Or else.
37:10Ha, ha.
37:11So, you guys want to get one more drink?
37:13Or you want to take this party somewhere else?
37:15Or do you just want to continue to ignore me and treat me like I'm completely invisible?
37:21Excuse me, bartender.
37:23Okay, I have one more.
37:24Light on the ice, heavy on the pity.
37:27Oh, you didn't think that was funny?
37:28Okay, yeah, well, I'll work on it.
37:30Mm-hmm.
37:32You know, I'm just trying to get into their conversation, but they won't let me.
37:36Hey, you ever talk to somebody and they just completely ignore you?
37:42Yeah, you know what I mean.
37:46Like Casper, the frickin' Casper.
37:50Now we're talking.
37:51Well, look-a there.
37:54Seems like Paige's got a little jungle fever.
37:57Hmm.
37:58Well, it looks like it's, uh, warming out for both of us.
38:15I need to talk to somebody.
38:24Hey, girl, what's up?
38:26Hey, um, you busy?
38:31Yeah, no, I'm all yours.
38:35Um, promise me you won't say anything.
38:38Do I ever?
38:40No, you don't, and I appreciate that.
38:43Look, I, I know you and Zach are close.
38:46Girl, I hate that.
38:47What do you do now?
38:48What's up?
38:50When y'all talked the other day, what happened?
38:52How was he acting?
38:54I mean, it was definitely in his feelings, but when I left, he was fine.
38:59What's going on?
39:00I know he's dealing with a lot, and I don't want to disregard his feelings.
39:07You know what?
39:08Never mind.
39:09I'm being insensitive.
39:11What happened, Fatima?
39:14It's nothing major.
39:15He's just off.
39:16Girl, you gotta be specific.
39:18I don't speak vague.
39:19Just tell me what it is, you know?
39:20I'm not gonna say anything.
39:22I don't know, it's like this push and pull with him.
39:26One minute, he's being vulnerable, and then the next minute, he doesn't want to talk about
39:29his feelings.
39:30Oh, so now he's in full-on leave-me-alone mode?
39:33Yeah, and now he's acting weird about our baby.
39:37Talking about he wants to have a water birth.
39:39A water birth?
39:41Nobody got time to be pushing out a baby in a lake?
39:44What?
39:45Exactly.
39:46I wouldn't take it personally, girl.
39:48You know he loves you, but woman to woman, you've been putting up with a lot lately.
39:54Yeah.
39:55It's not exactly what I signed up for, but here we are.
39:58I know everyone's been focused on, you know, Zach and Karen, but how are you holding up?
40:04Oh, I'm holding up.
40:09Fatima, you are carrying a whole-ass human and dealing with Zach's drama.
40:13How are you?
40:14Look, I, I can't even process what I'm feeling right now.
40:18I'm just, I'm good.
40:20I'll be fine.
40:21Sounds like somebody who's not fine.
40:24Look, I'm, I'm just suppressing the negativity, you know?
40:28Suppress?
40:29Girl, why do black women always have to suppress our emotions?
40:31It's not healthy, let it out.
40:34Yeah, I know.
40:39Danny, can I be honest with you?
40:41It's the only way to be.
40:43I feel like shit for even thinking this, let alone saying it out loud.
40:48Go on.
40:51I hate that Karen lost the baby.
40:54Danny, I wouldn't wish that on anybody.
40:56I wouldn't.
41:01But part of me was relieved when, when I still know where I was Zach's.
41:28I don't like your lady.
41:30This can't be my life.
41:31Next on, sisters.
41:33The Dodd Cruz has been putting his patients at risk for years.
41:36I thought I had lost you that night.
41:38And I'm going to get justice for you.
41:39What you got playing today?
41:41Still riding the relaxation train?
41:43If you want, I could set up an interview with outside Fred.
41:45Fuck, you want to compare me to homeless people?
41:47It's the gateway drug.
41:48You and I could get into a lot of trouble with you practicing law without being licensed.
41:53You understand?
41:54You ain't got to worry about that.
41:55I got her back now.
41:56I got her back now.
42:01Let's go.
42:02You ain't got lucky.
42:05You ain't got lucky.
42:16But here's the in flames.
42:19You ain't got lucky.
42:23And yet, you ain't got lucky.
42:28You
