Jay, Jay, Jay, please stop.

Please, Jay, please.

[Sirens]

[Music playing]

Hi.

I have a reservation for judea.

Is this the blind date?

Yes.

He will have on a black

suit and a black hat.

Ok.

No problem.

We got your cover.

Ok.

Thank you.

[Music playing]

How you doing?

I'm looking for my date.

Don't worry about it.

I can find it.

I can find it.

Well, hi.

- Hi.

Chad.

Judea.

Nice to meet you.

Nice to meet you as well.

Have you been here before?

No, but I've heard some

good things about this place.

I heard the brisket is really amazing.

Definitely might have to try that.

[Music playing]

So are you ready to order?

Everything just looks so good.

You know, it might take

me a couple of minutes,

but you more than welcome

to order if you're ready.

Ok.

[Music playing]

[Inaudible]

So are you going to ask?

Huh?

Are you going to ask?

I'm not so sure what you mean.

My head.

That's a style, now.

A lot of people are

wearing their hair like that.

It actually looks really good on you.

Thank you.

How about we go ahead

and order some food, then?

You know, I'm getting

kind of hungry over here.

Yes, I'm ready.

Florida, can you just tell me

which way is the bathroom?

Oh, it's that way.

Oh, I'll be right back.

I'll be right... don't go anywhere.

I'll be right back.

[Music playing] [Sighs]

[Music playing]

Hi.

[Phone ringing]

Oh, hi, Robin.

Hey, girl.

What's up?

- Nothing.

Want to have a sleepover?

Sure, let's do it at my place.

We could paint nails, do prank calls,

with popcorn, watch movies,

and have a bunch of snacks.

We'll stay up all night.

What's up?

Nothing.

Would you do that bathroom?

Sure.

Robin.

I'm sorry.

I'm just letting him walk me to my bus.

Ok.

Hi.

Thanks.

Will you do my Valentine?

Sure.

[Phone ringing]

Jose.

I'm sorry.

I changed my mind.

I'm interested in this girl.

So let me get this right.

You went on a date with

someone who's not your man.

[Sighs]

What's wrong with that?

[Chuckles]

That was so stupid.

It feels like I got caught cheating.

Girl, that is not cheating.

That was barely even a date.

Hold on.

That's Robin.

[Chuckles]

Don't tell me you are smoking again.

Would you text me 911?

I went on a date with my wig off,

and the guy just walked out on me.

You mean Terrence?

- No.

[Phone ringing]

Hold on.

It's Trish.

Do not leave me on hold for that girl.

Like I'm supposed to wait on you and Robin.

She don't give good advice in that way.

Just stop.

Want my advice?

And stop worrying about these men.

Because I promise they're

not worried about you.

Look, you're so worried

about this so-called date.

For all you know, Terrence

could be cheating on you.

You think so?

No.

No, he's not.

And how do you know?

Huh?

Prove it.

[Phone ringing]

Hold on.

That's Robin.

Hang up on her.

Get off the phone with her,

because all she does is sleep

and fill your head with nonsense.

Will you leave her alone?

- Ok.

Who did you go on the date with?

There was some guy named Chad.

Chad?

How did this date come about?

Like, where did y'all go?

We went to memaw's.

Memaw's?

Terrence's ex-family restaurant.

No, I know.

I'm so stupid.

I was just trying to build up

the confidence to tell Terrence.

Dang it.

Dang it.

I mean, you sound crazy right now.

I mean, one, you went on

a date with not your man.

Two, you went to Terrence's

ex-family restaurant.

Three, you talked to tricia.

Girl, you just need to go

to Terrence and tell him.

[Phone ringing]

[Music playing]

[Music playing]

You look nice.

Thanks.

What's wrong?

I haven't been completely honest with you.

What do you mean?

I mean, I haven't lied, but I

haven't told you the whole truth.

Omitting certain

details is like, what's up?

You know how I always wear wigs, and I told

you that it's because I don't like my hair.

Did it ever cross your mind

that you haven't seen my hair?

Yeah, but what are you saying?

It's not the case.

I don't have any hair.

Ok.

I have alopecia.

I'm sorry I lied to you.

You think I didn't know?

Is this why we haven't been intimate?

It's because you haven't seen the real me.

I've seen enough to know that I want you.

[Music playing]

I can't.

You can't what, baby?

I just told you I have alopecia.

There's so much to talk about.

And I told you I don't care.

I do.

If you think you're about to keep

stringing me along, I don't think so.

I wasn't stringing you. It was

hard to tell you because I love you.

You expect for me to believe that?

Why not?

You know, ever since we

started dating, you've been

claiming that you were

saving yourself for marriage.

Let's be honest, judea,

this has nothing to do

with the lord and more

to do with your hair.

Did you see that? This has nothing to do

with the lord and more

to do with your hair.

Did you seriously think that me wanting to

save myself for marriage

is only about alopecia?

I mean, just now you were quick

to give it up after you told me.

I was not.

You're not a virgin, judea.

We just haven't had sex.

I'm just trying to do the right thing here.

I wasn't expecting you

to throw it in my face.

Let's start with how your week went.

My week was pretty good.

No one night stands.

Well, that alone is progress.

Thank you.

How do you feel about

our last conversation?

To be honest, it's all still a lot for me.

I know, I know.

That's why I want to make sure that if you

tell her that you're prepared for what's

to come next, now I'm not recommending it.

I know.

I mean, she's a really great friend.

It's just this ongoing,

hidden jealousy, I guess.

I understand.

It's like I said before, you do

seem a bit jealous of her at times.

And I don't want that influencing you

telling her that you

slept with her boyfriend.

What? What was her name again?

Judea.

Judea townsville.

Judea townsville.

Girl, I was just thinking about you.

I think I left my keys at Terrence's house.

Then go get them.

I can't.

We had a weird morning.

You told him.

I don't want to talk about it.

Then, what's up then?

Well, I'm locked out and I need

that spare key that I gave you.

It's in your house.

Why would the spare key

that I gave you be in my house?

It's spare house key, silly.

In case you needed it.

I gave it to you so...

Never mind.

Thanks.

Surprised to see you back here.

I left my keys.

Why didn't you call? I

could have looked for them.

I just need my keys.

Well, since you're here, let's talk.

Please, don't.

Talk to me.

You want to talk?

Yes.

I'm sorry.

Have you slept with anyone

since we've been together?

Why are you so insecure about yourself?

Have you slept with anyone

since we've been together?

I don't understand why

you're asking me this.

What?

Why are you looking at me like that?

What?

Why are you looking at me like that?

(Doorbell)

Sondra.

Dad.

Hey, son.

Tamaya.

Jadaia.

Did I miss a call or something?

I wasn't expecting him to.

Well, when you texted us that you

were working from home, we decided to...

Drop some lunch.

We had a feeling you were... working.

Yeah.

We just weren't expecting

you to have... guests.

So? You gonna let us in?

(Music)

You not going in?

(Music)

I don't know who you think you are fooling.

What are you talking about?

I can tell you have alopecia.

I'm not trying to fool anyone.

You're doing something

with that crooked wig on.

Why'd you come here?

I think it's going with you and jadaia.

That how you say your name?

Let's not do this.

Sondra says she's sick.

Now she got a real knack

for sensing that kind of stuff.

She's not sick, first and foremost.

And even if she was,

that's nobody's business.

You my son. So that still is my business.

Would you expect me to just stand around

and watch some woman bring you down?

When did you become so judgmental?

You never even took the

time to get to know her.

I know. We the successful family and

she's the one trying to be a part of us.

Or maybe she trying to take a part of us.

Once again, projecting your

crazy thoughts on the people.

You know more and more it sounds like

you just really only care about yourself.

I only care about myself.

What?

Did you grow up being humiliated because

you were poor and raggedy like I was?

I don't care about myself. You better

be glad you don't have a father like I did.

He was a drunk.

He had a reason. He worked

for this man that ripped him off.

You know how humiliating

that is for him to come

home and not even have

the money to feed his family?

I don't blame my mother for

leaving him the way she did.

How you left like I got

you. How you left mom?

Sometimes you got to lose one to gain some.

I invested a lot into

Terrence's life. I can't

afford to have someone

come in here and mess that up.

How am I messing it up? I have

my own business and my own money.

You serve in those little

low budget weddings.

You know you're not even brave

enough to show the world who you are.

How can you be brave enough

to run a successful business?

Life is not just about

running a successful business.

That's what people with

unsuccessful businesses say.

Don't touch my hair.

I loved you mom. It was real. Okay?

But when things didn't work

out, I stopped trusting real.

And start trusting stability.

Right, right, right. So stability made you

forget all about those long

nights that mom was sick.

I was sick too. I was sick of taking

care of a woman I couldn't afford.

Dr. Bill's having to stay off of work

to stay home to take care of her.

We were almost homeless ourselves.

Did you really love mom?

What does that matter at this point?

Love always matters.

Love conquers all, right?

That's what you talk.

Oh yeah, well I don't

care who you love buddy.

But you better stop

believing in them cliches.

Because all is a hell of a lot to conquer.

And forgetting where god is taking someone

versus only accepting people who have

what were the 800 credit

scores and pretty privileged, right?

I mean dad, come on now.

Even for you that's pretty sour.

Yeah, wasn't it stondra's credit

score that co-signing for this chalet?

I guess privilege is pretty sweet for you.

And don't forget Elizabeth's

family own their restorations.

No, no, no, no, no. You can

love whoever you want to.

You want to let her make up your

bed? Good. But you got to lean it too.

She wind up looking like a fool.

You gonna look like a fool too.

Let's go!

Enjoy your lunch.

Terrence, Elizabeth called.

I think you should call her.

When's the last time you spoke with her?

Who?

You know who.

A while ago.

Not according to your mom.

Have you been sleeping

with her this entire time?

That's not my mom.

I'm not your mom. I'm not

your mom. That's not my mom.

And I didn't say anything this whole

time because I knew we had a rough day.

Alright?

But since you want to throw

dirt in my face off of assumption.

Explain this.

How did you get that?

But it took me a whole year and

a half to see you without your wig.

And here you are on some date with

some clown clearly without your wig.

It's not what it looks like.

How long have you been dating him?

We're not dating.

Are you sleeping with him?

No.

Explain.

I went on a blind date to see how the guy

would respond to my

alopecia before I told you.

Oh really?

Yes, I swear.

Give me my phone back Jada.

Give me my phone back.

Elizabeth sent you this?

Jada, listen.

I can't do this anymore.

I can't compete with her.

Your parents love her.

She has a nice family business.

She's beautiful.

She has long beautiful hair.

Nobody is asking you to compete with her.

Oh my goodness.

Give me my keys.

I don't have your keys.

Terrence, give me my keys.

I don't have your keys.

So you're going to the

club with skank Trisha?

Don't start.

Wait, aren't you going?

I'm going to keep you safe.

Okay.

Hey, one of you got a lighter?

What do you need a lighter for?

To smoke?

Smoke what and where?

My stuff and here.

Uh-uh. You're not smoking

anything ill*gal in my house.

You're not smoking

anything ill*gal in my house.

Carl, your a bunch of d*ck.

Calm down.

I'm way a bad course. Relax.

Girl, she's not asking you to smoke.

I have a lighter.

But do you mind if I participate?

I thought you were stopping.

No problem.

Didn't you used to smoke?

Uh-huh. Look at her. She's quiet now.

What's wrong?

Is this me?

Of course it's you.

Just be yourself.

You know I got you. You can trust me.

Thanks.

Can I tell you something?

Yeah, girl. What's up?

What's up?

God said his strength

shows up in our weaknesses.

But I don't feel strong in my weakness.

Girl, you can't make everything about you.

Look, what I mean is, tonight is about us.

Not some Bible story

or alopecia or tarrant.

Tarrant has nothing to do with this.

Look, jadant.

I know, but...

You're my girl. Tonight is girl's night.

Look, we're gonna have so much fun tonight.

You won't even be worried about tomorrow.

Come on, girl. Let me get you right.

Munchies again? Don't start.

Jay, you still not down here?

Hurry up. Take him too long.

Go back to your room. Take that

dress off. Start again tomorrow.

You know what? You just need one thing.

You just need a little bit

here. Is that necessary?

A little bit there.

She looks like she's

going to the ebt awards.

Look, don't listen to her, okay?

She's a hater.

Girl, you look stunning.

This is the real jadant.

[Crowd chattering]

Um, let's get some margaritas.

We're at the sato.

You excited? I guess.

[Crowd chattering]

Chair up.

So, what you drink tonight?

Sorry, when I'm asking

you, talking to your friend.

Excuse me? That's my friend.

I own the club.

She'll be okay. I'll make

it up to you. Promise.

Bartender, can I get another water, please?

Hey, thank you. Appreciate it.

Excuse me. Did you want some?

No, I'm good.

You're welcome. You're welcome.

You look absolutely gorgeous, by the way.

You look all right, I guess.

Wow! All right.

You know what? Coming from you,

I'll take that. That's cool. I'll take it.

I heard of your business.

You're the wedding plan, right?

Yeah. That's me.

Your hair a little different,

but I forget a pretty face.

You did an amazing job with

Kevin Scott in that wedding.

Thank you. I really appreciate that.

Oh, centerpiece thing?

I didn't like that at all.

Until I saw the ones you did.

And you can actually see

the people across from you?

There go that smile.

Hey, can I ask you a question?

Yeah, what's up?

What you hoping happened tonight?

To live without caring so much.

You know what I mean?

I know what you mean. You know what?

What you make up? I can toast to that.

You smoke?

Yeah, just vaping.

That smoke.

Is that a problem for you?

I don't know.

I'm just saying, you're

too pretty to smoke.

Can I ask you a question?

Sure.

Would you go to church with me?

Yes. Yes, church. I just asked that again.

I don't know.

I'll tell you what. Where's your phone?

I'm going to give you my number. Take that.

You call me when you

want to go to church with me.

You'll like it.

I guarantee you.

Oh.

Oh, come on. Don't be scared now.

I'm just, uh, I'm a

little caught off guard.

What? Why?

Yeah.

Hey, hey, hey. No, no, no.

Hey, hold on. Hold on.

Take a deep breath. Relax.

Don't hide your face.

Girl, you are bad.

You don't need that wig.

There she is.

That's only getting in the

way of your beautiful face.

Girl, I could eat you up.

Correction. I'm going to eat you up.

[Music]

Dang, woman. I said you look beautiful

and you made waffle house breakfast?

Sweet tea, lemonade?

I, um...

Here's some lemonade.

Yeah, okay.

Are we having guests?

No, it's just us.

Okay.

So, how is it being an influencer?

I mean, it's cool. I'm

just getting started, so it's

like getting my views and

my followers up, you know?

So, do you get like a 401k,

health insurance, life insurance?

No, I, uh, I upload videos to

YouTube. I don't like work for YouTube.

Okay. Gotcha. Sorry.

Look at that there.

So, do you have any kids?

No.

Do you want any?

Did I not just meet you last night?

Well, if I'm getting that reaction now, I

need to start doing standup like tomorrow.

No, but seriously, do you want any?

No, look, kids can go out of

the way for me, to be honest.

Have you been to jail before?

Wow. Um...

Slow down.

Hey, no, I've never been to

jail. I'm like too pretty for jail.

But no, no, no. Seriously,

I'm not going anywhere.

So, let's just enjoy breakfast, okay?

Let me use the pressure

real quick. I'm gonna be back.

Wow.

[Music]

I'm sorry, fine. Is there

anything to upset you earlier?

It's not you. It's me.

What's you?

This.

Talk to me.

I've allowed alopecia to ruin everything.

I mean, you've seen me. It's like

I've never been on a date before.

You gotta stop being so

hard on yourself. It's just hair.

If it's just hair, then why is it

so stressful to take pictures?

I mean, the look on your face when

you see me when my wig was off.

Well, look, you just call

me off guard, that's all.

Imagine if I had dentures on and

they fell out in the middle of us kissing,

you would have had the

same look on your face.

So, I'm glad your wig fell off.

I wouldn't have gotten the hood buffet

that was delicious, so

thank god for alopecia.

Look, you gotta love you

the way god made you.

Love yourself for who you are.

Look, I'm not perfect and don't expect

me to be, but god made us, not our hair.

So, forget all that.

I want you to cheer up, okay? Come on.

You know what? I have an idea.

We gotta get you out of that

funk. Let's take a picture together.

Oh, no.

Listen, believing in yourself starts

somewhere, so why not start here?

So, let's start together.

Okay.

All right. Waffle house on three.

And don't post it.

One, two, three.

Waffle house.

[Music]

[Music]

What are we doing here?

Well, we never really had

our official first dance at

the club, so I wanted to do

something special for you.

Okay.

Come on.

[Music]

What's good? What you need?

You know, I got your money.

What happened to this?

It's $20.

$20?

Look, it's all I got.

Them sales cbd, people playing around the

streets, you're gonna get in some trouble.

But I like it. We'll do

something special for you.

Well, I like them shoes. Take

one step back for me, I get it.

I got you.

Wait. Where are you going? No!

[Music]

[Music]

[Music]

[Music]

I just had the longest day.

What's wrong? Everything okay?

I can't stop thinking about jadaiah.

Your niece?

Mm-hmm.

I had this dream last night that she was at

the salon, and the stylist

handed her a mirror.

And her reflection, all I could

see was tears all over her face.

I believe that's a sign.

You need to give her a call.

You're right.

I'll be in my office.

Thank you.

Are you okay? What's wrong?

I got something right, smokey.

You keep saying you're gonna stop smoking.

When are you gonna stop judging?

No, Robin. I'm serious.

I'm serious too.

I'm on peck with you though.

What are you talking about?

I'm missing out of the closet now.

Seriously Robin, what

are you talking about?

This thing is your new man.

Hmm.

Dancing in the wilderness.

And videos.

And social media.

Just send me the video.

Okay.

Oh my god.

Oh my gosh.

What's up?

How's your career going?

It's fine. It's good.

Cut the crap, Darren.

Oh.

Do you really want to be with me?

Yes.

What's this?

This is us having fun.

On social media. I told you not to post it.

Girl, look at those responses.

Wow. You used me.

Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa.

Hold on, hold on, hold on.

If I knew you were gonna react after

that, I wouldn't know, okay? I'm sorry.

I'm sorry.

You know what? Let's

just put this behind us.

Alright, that's what's up.

You're gonna delete it.

That's not what's up.

Why not?

Girl, it'll hurt the

algorithm and the channel.

Delete it.

I can't.

Delete it now.

- Look, it was only supposed

to be a one time thing, okay?

I'm sorry. You have waffle house and

everything. What was I supposed to do?

You used me.

I didn't use you, okay?

I don't think you understand.

You go on social media and you get mad with

the negative comments and negative reviews.

And then they say positive things

about Isla pisa and you still get mad.

I don't get it.

It's not the Isla pisa.

Girl, it's you.

I can't.

I'm sorry.

I'm sorry. I'm sorry.

[Music]

You dead?

Who are you?

I'm hoping I'm your future husband.

What?

What's up?

Oh, you little feisty.

He who finds a wife finds good things

and becomes a favorite of the lord.

A stranger using

scripture as a pick up line?

That's a little weird.

What can I say?

Can you use some company?

How do I know you?

I know that you're a wedding planner.

Coming?

You look nice today, by the way.

Oh, thank you.

You're welcome.

What's wrong?

Liz. You and I have history.

Right?

But I'm really trying

to take jadaiah serious.

So I really need you to stop

messaging me and my family.

She saw your call the other day.

No, I cannot help that she was

on a date at my father's restaurant.

Oh my god.

Look who I done spoke up.

Come on, let's go.

Why is it so easy jogging but I

can't with you in all these jokes?

That's crazy because I'm not

even the funny guy with all the jokes.

All my friends tell me I'm

way too serious about it.

I mean, that could mean you care.

See, that's exactly what I said.

But for some reason all my

friends just keep going the other way.

He'll find you once.

You're right.

I did.

Seriously, you can't take for

granted when you make new friends.

It's not easy.

Especially when you're the eyeball.

At least you have a

choice to be an oddball.

Jadaiah.

Mike.

Jadaiah.

Hi.

This is Terrence.

I'm Liz.

Looks like you two are on a

nice little workout date, huh?

That looks so cute.

We bumped into each other.

This is not a date like you two.

This is not a date.

We met up to talk so

we can clear things up.

Hey, I'm sure your mom is happy

that you're clearing things up.

She is.

Michael.

Yep, this is Mike.

You look familiar.

Aren't you the guy I saw

today out on the date with?

What date?

- No, no, no.

Like she said, we just

bumped into each other, huh?

Tell me what I know I saw.

Liz.

What was that?

What?

Don't worry about that.

It's just a hater.

Was that your ex?

Yeah, but it meant nothing.

Seemed like something.

We just met.

I just met you.

You know what? You're right.

Once you handle that,

thank you.

Hey Terrence.

Good weather, huh?

What do you want?

How are you and judeo?

Why do you care?

Look, I'm just seeing how you're doing.

I'm making sure you're okay.

You know, small talk.

You don't small talk.

And I hate it.

So get to the point.

Look, I...

I've been seeing this counselor.

And there's a few things I

should ask for forgiveness for.

Trish, what does this have to do with me?

Wait.

We slept together, Terrence.

I was drunk and out of my mind.

You know my mother had

passed a few months before that.

I was vulnerable.

Yeah, I hear you.

But I'm going to tell Judeo.

No, no, no, no, no.

No, Trish, you are not

about to tear somebody else

down to make yourself

feel good about your guilt.

My guilt?

This is about setting us free.

No, stop.

All right, we both know you were

always jealous of our relationship.

I'm telling her whether

you're with it or not.

You are one miserable person.

And you want everybody

else to be just as miserable.

This isn't fair to judea.

Her friend.

I slept with her boyfriend.

We both know you were never her friend.

Where'd you get that necklace from?

Did judea give you that?

Do you know how much

money I spent on that necklace?

Did she give it to you?

Look, I can help you get over her.

We both know she'll

never forgive you like I did.

Think about it.

Baby girl.

Hey, it's so good to see you.

Good to see you too, auntie.

It's been so long.

I got a lot planned for us today.

- Okay.

But what if you couldn't

tell me until you got here?

You slow down.

I was on the stand, you.

It's called self-love, auntie.

That type of self-love is called

conceit, and it's rooted in insecurity.

I didn't teach you that.

Me wanting a bbl does

not make me a bad person.

I believe that it will

give me self-confidence.

Confidence.

Come sit down.

Just come sit down.

Please tell me you

know that self-confidence

cannot be surgically implanted.

It comes from knowing

who you are in Christ.

I just don't feel good enough.

I want to do this.

Okay.

Does Christ want you to do it?

Did you pray about it?

I haven't prayed about it.

I guess I'm just tired of

the way I look in the mirror.

It's because you don't

understand how god sees you.

He's your creator.

He doesn't make a mistake.

Come on.

Come on.

Look in the mirror.

Tell me what you see.

Did you dare?

Huh.

No.

Relax.

Now tell me who you see.

Jadaiah with alopecia.

I see one of god's

most beautiful creations.

His masterpiece.

His lovely handiwork.

Why don't I feel that way?

You don't see yourself hagasing you.

And once you realize who you really

are in Christ, you won't be anymore.

I know who I am.

I'm jadaiah.

So when you want to know what

something is, who do you ask?

The person who made it?

Exactly.

So when you want to know

who you are, who do you ask?

My mom?

No.

You ask god.

He's your creator.

He knows all about you.

You're his masterpiece.

Hmm.

I realize

I've been listening to

everybody else, social

media, friends, and even

my own doubts, but never god.

That's the problem.

You need to go to god in

prayer, fasting, reading his word,

tuning everything else out and

focusing on him and him only.

No distractions so that

you can hear him clearly.

Romans 12 and 2.

And b not conform to

the patterns of this world.

But be transformed by

the renewing of your mind.

(Upbeat music)

Listen, I really enjoyed you today.

Thank you for inviting me.

Now promise me you'll

come back to see me soon.

You're welcome anytime.

I promise.

Don't lie to me.

- I promise.

I love you.

Love you too.

(Indistinct chatter)

Hey.

Hey.

Get off me please.

Jada, how are you?

What are you doing here?

I was just in the area.

In the area?

We had 11 pm.

All right.

I wanted to see you.

We need to talk.

Talk?

Can we go outside?

Talk.

How's your business going?

Fine.

Okay.

Have you talked to tricia?

Why are you concerned about Trish?

I was just trying to have a conversation.

Have you talked to her, Robin, your mom?

What are you talking about?

Did you get my gifts?

Okay.

Okay.

I see I'm not welcome here.

I'll leave.

(Phone beeping)

(Phone beeping)

Robin.

Hey.

(Phone beeping)

Robin, you have gum disease.

(Phone beeping)

I brush and I floss every day.

Yeah, but you smoke every day too.

Okay, how can I fix this?

Unfortunately, there's no solution.

You can't fix this.

But with treatment, we can

slow down the progression.

What is my teeth gonna look like?

Well, for starters, you

have to quit smoking.

They, all of it.

The cigarettes, the

babes, the bongs, all of it.

Or else your teeth will look like this.

(Phone beeping)

They sell it.

I understand, but that

doesn't make it healthy.

It's gonna be okay.

Together, we can come

up with a treatment plan.

Okay, as a team.

(Phone beeping)

I'm just gonna come back

and check on you later, okay?

(Soft music)

(Soft music)

(Phone beeping)

I have something really

important to tell you.

What's that?

I don't know how I'm gonna say this.

What is it?

I've been thinking it

was a big deal at first.

What is it?

Did you do it?

No.

Let her speak.

You know we're good friends, right?

Don't say what I think you're gonna say.

I slept with Terrence.

(Soft music)

It happened the first couple of months

that y'all were together.

Trish.

Jadaen, I'm sorry.

Listen to me.

Listen, it was a long time ago, right?

I was vulnerable, I was drunk,

I was out of my mind, and it just happened.

It meant nothing, I promise you.

I don't feel anything.

I'm running out of words, can

you please just say something?

No, no, no, put it down.

Put it down right now,

today I'm gonna put it down.

The cup down now.

(Dramatic music)

Just trying to do the right thing.

I wasn't expecting you

to throw it in my face.

You're doing something

with that crooked wig on.

Please don't touch it, yeah.

It's not the alopecia.

Girl, it's you.

Today, what are you doing?

(Dramatic music)

(Dramatic music)

I know who I am, because

I know who made me.

One Peter, two and nine,

but you are a chosen people,

a royal priesthood, a holy nation,

god's special possession.

You can leave now.

(Dramatic music)

(Dramatic music)

There she is, how are you?

I'm good, how are you?

You look beautiful.

Thank you.

Very welcome.

You look very dapper.

Appreciate that, you

know, I appreciate that.

Even once in a while, you know.

I was admiring your

wine selection, I like it.

So is that gonna be a

problem for you, Mr. Blazer?

Not at all, you just took

me more as a chateau lafitte

type, that's all.

Okay.

A little subtle.

(Laughing)

Yeah.

So we're really going to church.

We are, we definitely are going to church.

Which church are we going to though?

That's a good question.

Guess we'll see when we get there.

You leaving me?

You know how this goes, Carl.

You brought me to this dollar 50 wedding.

Be careful who you choose to be with.

You'll carry their troubles also.

My troubles?

After all I did for you,

I left my wife for you.

No, Carl, you left her for you.

Can I pray for...

What if he finds out who I really am?

What are you doing in the art room?

What's wrong?

You're just saying that.

No, I mean it.

I wasn't even planning

on taking your wedding

because I was so booked.

But the holy spirit told me

to and I am so glad it did.

No, you just don't.

Listen to me, you just don't understand.

I do.

You weren't made to

be defeated by alopecia.

You were made to inspire others.

Okay?

So you go on out there to

your amazing future husband

and you show him your true self.

True beauty.

(Upbeat music)

(Upbeat music)

(Upbeat music)

Come here, no.

Thank you so much.

Thank you for what?

Thank you for always

having my best interests.

Of course.

Girl, I always looked at it

as if you were criticizing me

or judging me.

You wanted the best from me.

Of course I did.

Come here.

(Laughing)

Thank you, of course.

Plus I'd rather have you judge me now

than the lord later.

(Laughing)

I'm gonna get you some water, okay?

Okay.

Two ice cubes.

I'll meet you outside.

All right.

- Okay.

Hey, you all right?

Yes, I'm all right.

I'm here to really help you online.

No, I do not mind.

You were supposed to surprise her

but now she's like, oh, yeah.

Jatea, oh my, okay.

You guys are the only two here.

And she deserves the world.

She's been through a lot, okay?

She deserves true love, happiness,

and I just think you can give that to her.

No pressure, no pressure, okay?

So it's meant to be ugly.

Okay, go for it, and let us come.

You look good, I see the beard.

I'm gonna talk to you.

I see this.

Okay, I got you.

Cheesecake.

I got you.

(Laughing)

You're my holiday question.

Hi.

(Laughing)

Hey.

What are you doing here?

I work with Robin.

What?

I did not know that.

Small world.

It was.

Wow, you look amazing.

Well, thank you, and so do you.

Stop.

So did you ever get things figured out

with your friends from the park?

Right.

I'm letting god deal with them.

Okay.

Well, do you have any

room for any new friends?

(Soft music)

I'm not sure.

I'm still finding my faith.

I was pretty lost and

slowly finding myself.

So who are you now?

Well, I used to be a woman

who begged the world

to tell me that I was enough.

Listen, I can assure you

that you're more than enough.

No offense, but I'm assured by grace.

Fair enough.

So how about you tell me more about grace?

I know I act up sometimes.

I'm maybe not who you thought I was.

But baby, don't you pay me no mind.

Cause I don't wanna

miss out on your love.

And some days I might be foolish.

Kinda jealous.

Even at times insane.

Don't write me off to

make another list, girl.

Let it be you and me forever and always.

I don't wanna miss out on us.

It's a special kind of love

I just won't laugh forever, sing.

I just won't laugh forever, sing.

I can't see myself no one knows.

No one knows

I'll just walk till my final rest

I just won't laugh forever, sing.

I just won't laugh forever, sing.

You know some days you act moody.

And you can make up your mind.

But I don't wanna

put up with anybody else.

And we'll just be a waste of time.

Cause even when we argue.

And even when we try to leave.

See nobody else gets us like us.

So baby let's make the best of this.

Yeah it's a special kind of love

I just won't laugh forever, sing.

You won't laugh forever, sing

I just won't laugh forever, sing.

Yeah.

I just won't laugh forever,

sing see myself nobody else.

You won't laugh until my final rest

I just won't laugh forever, sing.

I just won't laugh forever, sing.

You know some days you act moody.

You left what I want, girl.

You left what I need, girl.

Forever with you.

Yeah.

Yeah.

Nobody else will do.

Nobody else will do.

It's about me, it's about you.

Let's forget everybody else.

Let's put our problems on the shelf.

It's all about us, girl.

It's all about us, girl.

Oh.

Don't wanna miss out on us.

It's a special kind of love.

I just won't laugh forever, sing

I just won't laugh forever, sing

I can't see myself no more

I can't see myself with nobody else.

And you tell my fine.

No, that's not a forever, sing.

I just won't laugh forever, sing.

Just give me that forever for this thing.

Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh.

Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh
