03x22 - Big Daddy's Back

[bunniefuu]

CELL DOOR CLANGING

My 22-year-old son told me
that he needed his mommy.

You got to break away
from all those problems.

- I'm going.
- BLEEP Go.

Here's her BLEEP.

All because
I wouldn't jump in his bed?

He's a free millionaire, ladies.

- Where is he gonna live?
- His dad's house.

Ray is paroling to my house.
I've just lied to my family again.

I can see him.

Raymond's grandmother...

I didn't know
that she was gonna come.

What's up with this person

that they got to come to prison
to find a mate?

I'm gonna keep an eye on them.

CHUCKLES

I've waited 11 years
to marry Jeff.

The first two times
he got released, he ghosted me.

I'd like to talk to you
about something.

Keep your friends close,
your enemies closer.

I met Josh when I was
a corrections lieutenant.

They fired me.

I was sentenced
to 60 days in jail.

There's a potential
that my husband and I

can be separated
for up to three years.

What do you think
about pulling up on Grandpa

and surprising everybody
tomorrow?

INDISTINCT CONVERSATIONS

What you think about Rachel?
I love her, man.

I hope you do.
I hope you do.

Ashley, how things been
without Dougie?

Ashley raised Dougie
for the most part.

Ashley treated him like BLEEP.

Ashley loves Douglas.
She's hard on him

because she's got
high expectations for him!

DOUGIE: Stop!

How you feeling about Daonte?

I just can't help
but think about other people,

like, my exes and stuff.

I'm hoping this ain't
what I think it is.

What the BLEEP you doing,
Nicolle?

CELL DOOR CLANGING

NICOLLE: Oh, God, the rain.

What the BLEEP you doing,
Nicolle?

What the BLEEP you doing,
Nicolle? What's up?

Now, hold up, bruh.

Oh, word?
You serious?

Oh, so that's why you won't give me
no BLEEP ride,

cos with this motherBLEEP.

You know who I am, bro?

- Nah. I don't know who you are.
- I'm her man, dawg.

I'm the BLEEP she was just
with five minutes ago.

I feel like I'm gonna throw up.
My BLEEP heart's pounding.

What's up, Nicolle?

You serious?

You just met
my BLEEP mama, bro!

You looked in my mama's face
and BLEEP lied, bro.

You know what I've been through,

and you gonna do me like that,

after all this BLEEP
I done did for you?

You serious?

Me and Nicolle... we were dating
before she went into prison,

but we kept in communication
throughout the whole time.

Give me my motherBLEEP cellphone.

Give me the cellphone, Nicolle.

Oh, you don't want to give me
the phone back?

Keep the phone.
I'ma deactivate the b*tch.

I knew some of the things that
she was doing, talking to guys,

but I didn't know the extent
of how far, you know,

connected emotionally
things were.

BLEEP boob job.

Let this motherBLEEP
pay for your boob job.

How about that?

I do feel bad.

The last time
that I had sex with a man

was with my ex, Zakk.

Get this BLEEP out of
my motherBLEEP trunk, bro.

I never really got over him.

I really just want to make sure
that I'm making the right decision

to be with Daonte.

You full of BLEEP, Nicolle.
BLEEP

NICOLLE: I cannot believe
this is happening to me.

ZAKK: I don't know what
the BLEEP to think right now.

I saw a fire in that...
In that man's eyes.

I didn't know that he had it in him
to get that mad for real.

SIGHS

It's about time
he started acting like that

instead of letting me
walk all over him.

What the BLEEP?

You know, that BLEEP
kind of turns me on.

Oh, my God.

SIGHS

Can I come with you, honey?
Can we go somewhere?

Yeah, we can go somewhere.

BREATHING HEAVILY

How dare you?

I done did everything for you.

It ain't nothing for you
I wouldn't have done.

There's nothing for Nicolle
I wouldn't have done.

And for her to turn around
and pull something like that...

I just... I couldn't...

Ain't no words
to describe it, man. Like...

YELLING

BLEEP, man.

SIGHS

EXHALES SHARPLY

I haven't seen Lisa
in several days,

since the night we had dinner
and got pulled over

and I lost it
and I asked her to leave.

And it's been a big disappointment,
to say the least.

GROANS
STAN: 'Hello.'

Hi. Good morning.
'Hey.'

'How are you doing?'

Well, um, I mean, I'm doing.

So, here's the thing...

So, I mean, so, we invested
eight months into this,

and, I mean, I just don't see it
ending like this.

I feel like
there's a lot to be said.

'Well, I mean, if you're...
If you're game,

'I guess I could be game.'

I'll send you the... the address
and the name of the hotel.

'All right, babe.
See you in a little bit.'

All right.

I got out of prison
a week ago,

and things have been
up and down.

So I've been staying
in and out of hotels,

I tell my PO
that I did not stay at Stan's.

I explained everything
that happened,

and she's understanding.

But legally,
that's where I have to be.

Almost out of money.

I don't know what to do.

My choices are limited
at this point.

I saved $3,500
while I was locked up

through my stimulus cheques,
but funds are low.

And honestly, I miss the guy that
I talked to for eight months.

Lisa.

- Hi.
- Hi.

Hi.

Surprised to hear from you.

I thought maybe we were...

Well, I mean,
I thought it was over.

I mean, in the heat
of the moment, things happen,

and just everything goes crazy.

So, I mean, you just blow up.

There's no... no in between
with you.

There's no grey area.
You're just high or low.

Hmm.

I got to control that,
and I apologise for it.

I don't like being alone,
and I miss you.

I miss the smile,
and I miss conversation

and telling you how
my heart feels, and that's...

You know, there's a spot there
for you, if you want it.

Without Lisa,
it's been terrible, lonely.

I really do love her,

and I really do want
to make this work.

Going forward,
I think that, you know,

we just got to put one foot
in front of the other

and just looking at it one...

one minute at a time
at this point.

So...
Well, you want to...

Wanna try moving back in
and see what happens?

I mean, I'm willing
to give it a shot.

Like, we got to try
some different things, though.

Mm-hmm. I agree.

Your hair is beautiful,
as always.

Thanks, it is.

LAUGHS
I know.

I trust people until they prove
to me I cannot trust them.

I definitely feel
Lisa has feelings for me

or she wouldn't be coming back.

I don't believe she'll do
anything to change my mind.

DOUG:
Tell us all about Dougie.

DOUGIE: Shut up!
Don't speak of those.

I wanna read 'em.

I'm being dead serious when I say
that. Don't speak of them.

Go get them.

We're not gonna do this.
Ashley treated him like BLEEP.

Ashley took him
when nobody else did.

Stop arguing!

- Come back.
N- o! BLEEP you!

Hey.

DOUG: We're visiting my family,
and Dougie's upset

that I was arguing with Crystal,
his aunt.

My sister Crystal
is a very emotional person.

She has very high highs
and very low lows.

Don't do it.

You're gonna talk to Crystal.

Crystal wanted to dog Ashley

about the way
she brought Dougie up.

I wasn't gonna allow it.

I'm, like, nervous. I'm ripping
all my fingernails out.

RACHEL: I absolutely
feel like a mom to Dougie,

but you know what? I thought that
this was the opportunity for Dad

to finally step in
after 11 years.

I love you, son.
DOUGIE: I don't care!

I really just want to get Doug
and Dougie

out of this environment,
and let's just go back home.

I just want peace and love.

He's not changing.
He lies to her already.

- How does he lie?
- Give it a little while.

Rachel, you'll see...
You'll see the real Junior.

You got to keep Douglas
away from Kalamazoo

or he's gonna BLEEP up.
He's gonna cheat on you.

He's gonna do
something stupid, I promise.

Come on, son, please?

He wants to talk to Rachel.
Only Rachel.

Let's go.

CAR DOOR CLOSES

If he does start BLEEP,

let him go, because he's gonna
bring you down.

What do you mean?

- Make you lose everything.
- How?

Use ya.

He's a dog.
Junior's a dog.

Shut up!

But it's the truth,
though, right?

You gonna stay out this time?

Maybe not. If somebody
pisses me off, I might go back.

But that's not your
BLEEP problem.

- BLEEP you, Douglas!
- Go home!

- I know. I know.
- You're a deadbeat, too!

Give you 60 days!
- I know!

CRYSTAL: 60 days, you'll be
back in prison!

Mark my words!

Pass a drug test, b*tch.

ENGINE STARTS

Douglas, Douglas, get in the car.
We're leaving. We're leaving.

We're... We're out of here.

RACHEL: This was a lot.
You need to relax.

I don't even know
who you are right now.

You have a temper problem.

Only with BLEEP.

OK, but you did
with your baby, too, OK?

You need to chill.
- My baby's a BLEEP.

I know, but that doesn't mean
he's functioning like a BLEEP.

- Uh-huh.
- OK?

He's a sensitive boy.

He don't want to see nobody
be mad at you.

He doesn't want to see
anybody hate you.

He is. He is.

Dougie.

I don't.
I don't need them, son.

I mean, I... I mean...
That's fine.

The love I have for Dougie is
never-ending and unconditional.

But I have to give him the real.

I'm not gonna baby him
cos I can't.

If I would have ever got between
my dad and anybody else

from any type of altercation,

I would have been
on the chopping block

just like the BLEEP he was
getting into it with was.

Listen to me, listen to me.

- We're gonna work on this together.
- Communication is a big deal.

- You'd never talk to me like that.
- You don't like the way

I yell at you and the way I act
towards you,

and I definitely do not like or
appreciate the way you talk to me.

- Dad loves you.

We're gonna get through this, OK?

JEFF: I get a message
from my ex-girlfriend.

If Jeff doesn't tell
Anissa his secret,

I'm gonna have to do it myself.

Ray is an absolute love-maker.

When your parents gonna come by?

Let's not rush bringing them in.

You not hiding me?

Don't give me no ultimatum
about no BLEEP baby.

I think this discussion
is over with.

Who you talking to?

CELL DOOR CLANGING

I'd like to talk to you
about something.

I ain't told Anissa this yet.

When I got to the halfway house,

I get a message
from my ex-girlfriend

telling me that she's
about 100% positive

that I got an 18-year-old son
by her.

I don't know how to tell Anissa, and
it's really bothering me, man.

Christine was my
first girlfriend,

and she has a son
that belongs to me.

I was locked up
the day the baby was born.

I called to check on her
and the baby,

and her mother
answered the phone

and told me
that the baby wasn't mine.

She never called back,

and I never tried
to contact her daughter again.

You being honest with her
will be what...

You know, what she wants
in that kind of situation, you know?

I always believed
that he was mine.

'So, when I was
at the halfway house,

'I got a blood test done.'

And he's mine.

I want to tell her.
You know what I'm saying?

I want to be honest with her.
I just don't know how

it'll affect her,
and I don't wanna hurt her.

Just tell her
you need to talk to her.

You know what I mean?

That will tell her that it's
bothering you to come clean.

Hey, babe.

Hey.

I choose to tell Kyle
to see if I could trust him,

to see if he tells Anissa or not.

If Kyle runs and tells Anissa,
I'll definitely know

that he's not gonna be part
of Anissa's life.

- Thank you.
- You're welcome.

- I couldn't have did it better
myself. - Exactly.

What have you boys
been talking about?

We was talking about you.

What were you two
talking about me for?

If we... If we wanted you
to know,

we would talk about you
in front of you.

That's pretty mean right there.
Wow.

KYLE: You know, Jeff coming up
with this secret today,

it's just... it should be
Anissa hearing it

because she's
about to be his wife.

I just... I don't want to
see her get hurt again.

And if Jeff doesn't
tell Anissa his secret,

I'm gonna have to,
um, do it myself

because she deserves to know.

Yeah. He's honest.
Yeah, I got to give him that.

He's honest.

BRITNEY: Good morning.

Good morning.

LAUGHS

I'm still a little tired.

Yeah, you're worn out.
That's OK.

BRITNEY:
Ray and I finally had sex,

and it was the best sex
I've ever had in my life.

Mm.

We're just gonna lay in bed
all day.

Mm-hmm.

Ray is an absolute love-maker.

CHUCKLES,
PHONE CHIMES

Uh-oh.

BLEEP

My grandma, she gonna stop by
and bring some food.

Maybe she's trying to make sure

I don't have you hogtied
in here.

I just feel like
she's just judgy,

like I'm some woman preying
on her young grandson.

I need to go take the dog out.

All right, well, make sure you
tell her that when she comes.

Whatever.
I said what I said.

My grandmother, Sue,
she's very protective over me

because I'm
the first grandchild.

I think she does have concerns
of me and Britney.

Just wanting to know more about her,
who she is, what she does,

is she crazy?

Good boy.

Isn't he so cute?

What time
is your grandma coming?

I don't know yet.

Well, I definitely want to,
uh, straighten up.

What about your parents?
When your parents gonna come by?

I w... I was just thinking that
we would do your family first.

You know, everybody's
been waiting to see you.

They haven't seen you
in so long.

Right.

Both of our families
would be, like, so much.

- Everybody be wanting to talk
BLEEP. - Want to talk to you.

I know my family wants
to really talk to you.

We want you to be with somebody
that's clean-cut

and to take care of you.

Somebody who's productive.

He's excited to meet you guys.

Well, for the record,
I'm not ready to meet him.

And, I mean, I have to also
still let them also know

that you're out.
They don't know that.

- You haven't told them?
- No.

You not hiding me?

- I'm not hiding you.
- You sure?

Positive.

You scared to tell them?

I'm not scared,

but I want to tell them
on my own time.

Well, when... when are they
gonna know?

When it's right.

When it's right for you?

I'm gonna just put it out there...

Whenever I told them about you,

the main thing my mom pointed out
was like,

"OK, well, he's not
gonna live with you."

And I was like,
"No, he's not."

So you tell your mama
I wasn't moving in with you?

Yes, I told my parents
that you were going to, um,

go with your parents.

And so I did lie.

Right.

If you feel like
I'ma be a part of your life

and a part of your family,

then they should know everything
what's going on with us.

Let's just get situated.
Let's get settled.

It's real important
that me and Britney

don't keep secrets from each other
and from our family.

That'll be one... one of the reasons
why our relationship fails.

You ready for some hang time
down in the dungeon?

Pop the cork.
CORK POPS

Damn.
You ready to get her done, son?

NICOLLE:
It was good seeing you.

Why are you looking at me
like that?

CHRISTA: This is your ex
you've had sex with.

What's wrong with you?!

Love was simpler in prison.

CELL DOOR CLANGING

Babe, what are you doing?

Same thing I was doing
two minutes ago...

Making these fried soups.

LAUGHS

Nah.

For real?

Not right now.

Do you wanna just wait
till later?

You always say,
"Wait till later," Josh.

- And it always happens later,
Courtney. - No, it doesn't.

Josh's 14 days of mandatory
quarantine are coming to an end,

and we've had sex
like three times.

I look good. I'm awesome.

Like, what the BLEEP?

It makes me feel insecure,
like he's not attracted to me.

I just don't feel like it.
I mean, BLEEP.

What do you want me to do?

Get it up.

I can't get it up no more.

I've BLEEP reached that age.

You know I'm turning 30
next month.

Smart-a*s.

I love you. You wanna try
a bite of this soup?

No, I'm good, thank you.

- Why?
- I'm just annoyed right now, OK?

I just thought it was gonna be
different when you came home.

Like, you would always talk about

how you can't wait
till you come home.

You're just gonna come up behind me
and put your arms around me

and how we're gonna
hold hands and cuddle.

And I don't feel
like we do that.

Please don't turn it...

Just because I don't feel like
BLEEP right now,

don't turn into some
BLEEP bullBLEEP.

It just hurts my feelings.

Like, I just...

..thought
there would be more affection.

I want it to be like
what we talked about.

It is, babe.

Not for me.
SOBS RAGGEDLY

I do what I'm supposed to do.

- And I don't?
- I do my part.

Do I not do my part?

What do I do wrong?

Good ol' dog.

No, you're perfect.
You're an angel.

Far from it.

JOSH: I love Courtney
with all my heart,

but living with my wife,
it's a hard adjustment.

Is this too much for you?

This gets overwhelming
sometimes, you know?

What does?

This life.

For me, I was in
maximum security,

so I didn't have no cellie.

So for me,
I was just living by myself.

I didn't have to worry about
something somebody does

that irritates me, you know?

What do I do that...

you're unhappy with?

If I ask you to
stop doing something

and then you just keep doing it.

And this is what I hate, too,
are the times

you just sit there, "What's wrong?"
Ain't nothing wrong.

Then you just keep asking me.

Cos you sit there
with a sour look on your face,

and you sit there with your nose
in your phone the whole time.

You're talking to your dudes.

BLEEP giggling like
a little BLEEP girl.

It pisses me off.

Why can't you giggle
and have fun with your wife?

I do get jealous
when it comes to my husband

because he's been in prison
since he was 18 years old.

I get worried that maybe
he wants to mess around.

Damn, you act like I'm not
allowed to have no friends.

I was just in prison
for BLEEP 11 years.

I mean...

You're still talking
to the dudes in prison,

BLEEP worried about
what's going on in there.

You're not there any more, Josh.
Who cares?

Yeah, but you make bonds with
certain people, Courtney.

It's just like, damn,
you feel sympathy for somebody

because they're in there.
So it's like...

So you can feel sympathy
for those guys now,

but you couldn't feel sympathy
for your BLEEP wife out here?

You know I felt sympathy
for what you went through.

I don't know that.
I don't know that.

You should, babe. The letters
I used to write you, the emails.

I mean, you can only do so much
from in there.

But it's nice to hear it
sometimes, too.

Yeah.
Good job, babe.

- Are you cool?
- Nope.

It don't matter what I am.

There you go,
that dumbass attitude.

I pursued a relationship
with Josh

because he's the first person
that I felt would understand me.

I gave up my job for you, Josh.

I gave up BLEEP
everything for you.

But maybe he has
taken advantage of me.

But like you said...
we're talking,

so at least now we know
what we're doing wrong.

STAN: You're an individual
that's different

than anybody I've ever met.

Maybe that's part of the thing
that appeals to me.

LISA: I'm not a feely-touchy
kind of person.

That's not how
I've ever been, even...

And I've... I've had to
find that out.

CHUCKLES

You know, you wanting to hug
and kiss and stuff all the time,

that's all new to me.

Everything's new.

There's a lot of stuff that's...
in your life

that's confusing to me,

that I'm not familiar with,

and I'm learning now
to understand

where you're coming from
and your world.

I'm not only ready
to start fresh,

I want to start fresh with Lisa.

Home sweet home.

I want her to see
that I really do want her back

and that I'd made a mistake.

Getting everything cleaned up
here. We're gonna eat soon.

I'm gonna go ahead
and get the fire started.

And if you want to
start prepping stuff,

it'll speed us along.

I mean, I guess I could help.

I wouldn't mind, I mean,
since we're both gonna eat.

LISA: In prison,
I didn't really cook.

I had every... everybody else
cook for me.

I don't even know
what I'm supposed to do.

Prep what?

But you have to be willing
to trust them, too.

This last time when I was
just in there, uh,

the girl got mad at her friends,

and she actually put
some BLEEP in some brownies

and fed it to all of them. You just
have to watch what they do.

Uh, no, I didn't eat BLEEP or I
would have ended up in the hole.

I gave you the big one.

What you trying to say there, slick?
LAUGHS

Just that I want you
well-nourished.

Right.

You look pretty good
on your knees.

LAUGHS

Enjoy it while you can.
LAUGHS

I feel like that I'm not,
um, as affectionate maybe

as... as the next person is

because I wasn't
raised that way.

I wasn't, um, shown love
or affection like that

all throughout my...
my life and my marriages.

So, I mean, I guess I'm attracted to
someone being submissive.

I-I feel like Stan, he's good
with what I got to give.

You're even lighting candles?
What's going on?

Some ambiance.

What does that mean?

Something that's nice-looking.

CHUCKLES

I bet you didn't have this stuff
in prison.

Well, we had...

I mean, you can buy, like,
chicken and stuff

in a... in a bag.

- Was it any good?
- This, like, precooked...

I mean, for prison,
that's gourmet food.

Hmm. I have some special
champagne just for you and me.

I-I can't say that
I've ever drank champagne.

Was you hungry?

I'm about stuffed.

I think you're just trying to rush
this to get to something else.

CHUCKLES

What would that possibly be?

LAUGHS

I don't know.
You tell me.

LAUGHS

I absolutely appreciate
the gesture of this steak dinner

because it... it shows,
you know,

that he cares a little bit.

So actions, you know...
I'm all about actions.

We can always go for a walk
up to the pond.

LAUGHS

- Mn-mmh.
- No?

No. I just need to relieve
some stress.

LAUGHS

And what are your ideas?

We'll go downstairs.

How 'bout that?

Stan and his basement, that's
what I call, uh, dungeon time.

Um, that's where he has
a straightjacket,

and I like to put him in there.

So, that's what we do.

I need to relieve some tension,
you know?

CORK POPS
Damn.

LAUGHS
Oh, yeah.

What does this taste like?
Like soda?

- It's very... It's like
a combination of 7UP and wine.

GAGS

- That's horrible.
- You don't like it?

No.

Yeah, it's... it's not
what I'm used to.

Tastes like drinking
Alka-Seltzer.

Man, you ready for some hang time
down in the dungeon?

Well, I'm ready.
I'm right behind you, darling.

I go to the dungeon.
I don't go to the doghouse.

You like the dungeon, though.

Lisa is a pro
when it comes to the bedroom,

so I kind of let her, uh,
run the show.

And it works well
for both of us.

You ready to get her done, son?

LAUGHS

You psycho.
CAT MEOWS

If you want all the things
that life has to offer,

communication needs to happen,
or get the BLEEP out.

You're ashamed of him.

Or she trying to hide me.

I'm gonna tell you right up front...
I'm keeping watch.

CELL DOOR CLANGING

JEFF: A typical day
on house arrest,

I get up, fix me some coffee,

work out, mow the grass,

play poker on my phone,
go back out and work out again.

- Hey, babe.
- Hey, baby.

- This is Penny.
- Hi, Penny.

- Penny, this is Jeff.
- Hi, Jeff.

So, is this helping
with your muscles?

- It's helping me from being bored.
- I hear you're plugged in

- a couple times a day.
- Yeah.

Have you ever had a job before?

- No.
- Jeff's never even been shopping.

PENNY: Wow. That's a big change,
isn't it?

And he wants Gucci pants.
LAUGHS

'My plan is to get my job.'

I want to save every penny.

And I'm gonna go
get my teeth done.

I wanted to get a-a motorcycle.

And I want to get me
some Gucci pants.

I have to be sexy.

LAUGHS

RINGING

PAROLE OFFICER: BLEEP

Hi. This is Doug.

- Shh.
- Yes?

The power's blown, but I got me...
I'm hooked up in the car.

I went and got a BLEEP power thing,
and I'm...

I'm sitting in the car
charging it in the driveway.

It's running.
Thank you.

- OK. Bye-bye.
- Bye.

I'm... I'm frustrated
because my tether's dying,

and... and... and
the power went out.

I-I just... I can't believe
it. It doesn't make sense.

I got the Brady Bunch neighbourhood
and BLEEP power service.

Oh!
Everything works.

Yesterday, it was
a very primal experience.

Ashley loves Douglas.
She's hard on him

because she's got
high expectations for him!

Stop!

Doug's emotions were very high.

I'm starting to worry
that life with Doug

is always gonna be
this traumatic.

I'm just really concerned
about the way

you communicate with Dougie.

Me and Dougie have a lot of
learning each other, you know?

I think we all do.

He gets scared when I yell.

It scared me, too.

- I'm loud. I'm aggressive nature.
- Mm-hmm.

I demand respect.

My dad did.

When the adult talks,
you listen.

That's the way I was brought up.

But the cycle has to change.

If you continue
to keep talking to him

the way that you've been
talking to him,

you're gonna ruin him,
break him permanently.

Did you not hear him tell me
to BLEEP off yesterday?

Right, but he's BLEEP angry.

Oh, yeah. That makes it right.
I was angry, too.

- I'm not saying it's right.
- I was angry, and I went to prison.

Does that make it right?
I get mad,

I go punch your neighbour...
Does that make it right?

No, but you can still listen
and maybe come...

You can't listen when he
tells you to BLEEP off.

He's been getting away with
way too much, way too long.

It's my fault.
I wasn't there.

One thing is gonna happen.
He's gonna respect me, Rachel.

RACHEL: 'Doug treats his son
like an inmate.'

And that's... that's not the way
to speak to a 12-year-old boy...

..who hasn't had his father,
who hasn't... doesn't have Mom.

We can break what little bit
of spark that's in him left.

I think it is important
that we explore family therapy

because what's currently going on
clearly isn't working.

Mm-hmm.

SIGHS

Well, you know
what was done for me?

They had me go see a psych
in third grade.

I psyched the psych out.
She sent me to her supervisor.

I psyched her out,
and she discharged me,

sent me back home to my mom
with a bottle of Ritalin

that I never took.

I didn't need therapy.
I needed my parents.

I needed more one-on-one time
with them.

I needed attention.
I needed...

I was loved.

I wasn't watched.

Another person in the room
communicating

and directing and observing us

and saying, "Hey, I see where
you're coming from,

"but maybe you could say things
in this way."

What good is my wife for?

Cos you don't listen to me.

- I do!
- You do not.

You think I'ma listen
to this overpaid BLEEP, huh?

Mm-hmm.

If I ain't gonna listen to the
woman who gives me my four B's,

I'd be damned
if I listen to anybody else.

If you want all the things
that life has to offer,

this life, this home,

communication needs to happen,
the counselling needs to happen,

the team playing needs to happen
in this house

cos this is gonna make or break
Dougie.

You're not gonna give me
an ultimatum, though.

That's not how this is gonna work.
We will communicate better.

But you're not gonna give me
an ultimatum.

If we plan on having a baby...

Don't give me no ultimatum
about no BLEEP baby.

RACHEL: I'm willing
to work through things

because I'm so in love
with Doug.

I know Doug is still adjusting
back into society.

But he needs to show
he's gonna be...

trying to handle it
a little bit better.

I love you.

But communicate differently,
or get the BLEEP out.

Who you talking to?

You can't expect me to wake up
and just be a different person.

I think this discussion
is over with.

BRITNEY: I'm trying to get
the house clean.

I want it to look really good

so when your grandma
gets here...

It ain't no inspection.

Oh, it's definitely
an inspection.

We could have still been
laid up, chillin'.

I ain't gonna tell my people no
if they want to see me.

BLEEP, I've been gone
for so long, so...

I wanted to see you, though.

You gonna see me every day.

Well, at this point, we're seeing
your grandma every day.

Set the table, please.

RAY: Britney's
a little agitated,

but the last time I spent time
with my grandmother as a free man,

it may have been about three,
three and a half years ago.

Ray, your grandma here.

Oh, gosh.

Oh, she brought you clothes?

- She brought some clothes.
- Oh, Lord.

She thinks I done
got you in here naked.

I'm a big family person,

but we just saw her.

- Hi.
- Hi!

Hi, there.

How you doing?
- Yeah.

I know it's early,
but I'm sure it's OK, right?

Yes. Absolutely.

Oh, you bought me some shirts?

Yeah, I know you picked up
a little weight, so...

LAUGHS
So is she a good cook?

Mm-hmm, yeah,
she's a real good cook.

Oh, OK.

So, fried chicken.

Mm-hmm.
Just warm it up for him.

What is fried chicken
if it's not hot?

So far so good out here
in the free world?

SIGHS
I love it.

BRITNEY: I can just throw that
in there.

It appears that you have
a good woman on your side.

- Very good woman.
- Yeah.

I'ma keep an eye out, though.

Yeah. Yeah.
- Oop!

Tell you up front,
I'm keeping watch.

Daily check-ins?

They won't be too much.
LAUGHS

You... You're your mama's baby?

- Uh-huh. I'm the youngest.
- OK.

She's kind of
my interior designer.

Good taste in decorating.

Your mom sounds like
a wonderful woman.

What do you think
about her, Ray?

- I haven't met her.
- You haven't met her?!

No, I haven't met her mama yet.

Why hasn't he met her?

Um, just kind of waiting
for the right time.

He's just getting out
of the halfway house.

I haven't told my parents
that he paroled here,

so they don't know
he's living here.

You're ashamed of him.

Or she trying to hide me.

I'm trying to give him a chance
to kind of get on his feet.

And that doesn't mean the day
you get from the halfway house

that my parents
should be over here.

I don't think that
my grandmother

is happy with this relationship,

knowing that I've been
kept basically a secret.

She's just looking out
for my best interests.

So how long is it gonna be
before you bring him out?

I don't want them to judge him.

And I don't want him hurt.
And so, I put all that on you.

That is a big secret, that
she has not told her parents

that he's living here,

because she might not be 100%

on how they're gonna
accept that fact.

I didn't bring my Bible with me
to come and preach this morning,

but I'm kind of stunned
that your...

Your people don't even know him.

They could get the impression
that you don't want them to know

cos you ain't really feeling
that good about him.

The same protectiveness
that you have over him,

I do, too, which is why
there's a time for it.

They know about him.
They just don't know he's here.

- OK.
- In the back of their mind,

he's not bringing anything
to the table.

Britney, if you love Ray
like you say you do,

I want you to be honest.

And... And that...
It would really do me bad

if he had to go through
all he's been through

and then come to this point
and your parents destroy him.

I know he's not a baby,
but he's my baby.

Right.

- OK?
- Mm-hmm.

If it ever comes to a point
that you're uncomfortable here,

not being respected here,

- get in touch with me...
- I will.

Call me, and we'll work it out.

- I always know your door is open.
- Always.

Yes, ma'am. I will.

- NICOLLE: Bye.
- This is your ex.

This is someone
you've had sex with.

Love was simpler in prison

cos there wasn't as many choices.

NICOLLE: Look at my mom.

All right, give me a hug.
It was good seeing you.

Uh-huh.
It was good seeing you.

Whoo!

My socks are soaking
BLEEP wet.

Why are you looking at me
like that?

Why am I looking at you like that?
Are you kidding me?

I was sleeping last night,
and the dogs started going nuts

because there was quite the scene
outside of my house.

And I saw Nicolle in Zakk's car.

I am so ready to lose it.

I did not plan
for that to happen.

You didn't pl... You didn't plan
to have Zakk come over?

I did not plan for Daonte
to be stalking me down the street

causing a BLEEP.

This is your ex.
This is someone you've had sex with.

You don't go have them meet you

right after you just met his mom!
What's wrong with you?!

Zakk and I did sleep together,

but when Zakk picked me up,

it was... it was innocent.

But then, like,
Daonte pissed me off,

so I was like, "BLEEP it.

I might as well sleep with him,
too, right?"

I already BLEEP up, so...

If you don't want
to be with him,

tell him you don't
want to be with him.

You don't just BLEEP
treat people like that.

I'm sorry.

I think Nicolle wants to believe
that she really cares about Daonte

so that she doesn't feel bad
about the way she's treating him.

But I don't think that
she really understands

what it is
to really care about people.

You got to know
how much that hurt him.

Yeah.

That man is head-over-heels
for you.

And while you might think he's
a little strange and everything,

the fact that he... all he did
was yell a little bit...

actually impressed me.

You think you owe Daonte an apology?

- I know.
- It wasn't fair to him.

- I know.
- You used him.

You used him.
- I know.

JILL: As much as he spent on you,

I'm sure that took a long time
for him to earn.

And you just took it.

Think about how much
that's got to hurt.

He thought that you
loved him back.

'I feel bad about my actions. I do.'

Like, I love him,
and I hurt his feelings.

CHRISTA: Come on.
It's cold out here.

You need to put some clothes on.

But I don't feel like
I was that wrong

because Daonte has been
making me feel uncomfortable.

I mean, he's talking about sex
and pressuring me,

and that pushed me away.

What happens now
with you and Daonte?

I don't know.
I haven't talked to him.

What's happening with Zakk?

I love Zakk, like I always have.

I, you know, I wouldn't mind,

like, yeah, spending time
with him.

The last I heard, Tia's the one
you were talking to.

CLICKS TONGUE

Um, I mean, I've been texting Tia
cos, you know,

I did have very strong feelings
for her, as well.

You need to decide
who you want to be with.

Love was simpler in prison

because there wasn't
as many choices.

I really just need
to, like, think.

I love you.

I love you, too.
Still disappointed, though.

I have super-strong feelings
for Daonte,

but, you know,
I have a lot of history

with Zakk and Tia.

So...
EXHALES

I'm just so confused.

CAMERA SHUTTER CLICKS

TEXT TONE

Next on Love After Lockup...

STAN: If I put
this down payment down,

does that mean our next step
is marriage?

I might not have been
genuinely honest with him.

RAY: So when do you think
your family gonna come see me?

I know they want to meet me.

DOORBELL RINGS

He may have an 18-year-old kid.

- What the BLEEP?
- Dude!

I had no knowledge she was still
interacting with this dude.

KNOCK ON DOOR

What's up, Nicolle?
