I'm a bit more measured when it comes to intercourse.
Well, don't hate.
So Spill the tea.
Who is this young lady? Well, she's a lady, but young, she's not.
I believe she almost qualifies for medicare.
I know you lying.
She's 62, but she's a very youthful spirit, and she follows a diet based on the paleolithic era.
Who is this dinosaur? Dessie, dinosaurs have been extinct for 165 million years.
Dean Simms, what is her name? Oh, Eve, and she's the instructor in quiet Ann's birthing class at the community center.
Whoa, pump the brakes.
You're going to quiet Ann's birthing class? Yeah, I-I volunteered to be her partner.
In fact, we We have a class tonight.
Dean! Why would you do that? You know I don't deal with that quiet traitor.
Well, you're not allowed to dictate what I do or or who I associate with.
You signed a contract for our adult sibling relationship, and it was notarized, making it legal.
Okay, okay.
You're right.
We both grown.
Do you, boo.
Besides, meeting Eve helped me discover my life's purpose Midwifery.
Mid-wif-a-what? Midwifery.
Dean, this is crazier than the time you let melba rebirth you.
W-well, maybe that led me to this new dream, the dream I never knew I had, and now Now I'm going to be late to meet with Eve.
There's a late-night birthing class that coincides with the waning gibbous moon.
We're discussing the maintenance of the nursing nipple.
It's a very needy structure, Dessie, very needy.
You don't know nothing about birthing no babies! [SIGHS.]
Well, I don't know what to do, Pol.
I mean, Dessie is being so ext these days.
She always has to be right.
Y'all still arguing? Girl, there ain't no arguing.
If I want to be her number two, I've just got to shut up and do what she says.
Yeah, but she's been like that before Claws Up.
I mean, she wears that boss necklace like a bookmark.

Mostly I like lifting weights and removing body hair.
Mm, smooth as a plum and twice as juicy.
MARGARITA: I've got bad news for you, Rolf.

Y'all got to understand, the business was going under.
Lou was about to file for bankruptcy.
I don't give a shit what Lou was about to do! I considered you a friend, Bambi.
I don't even like deer meat it's gamy.
I'm sorry, Jenn.
I was desperate, and I wasn't hurting anyone at first.
It was something I paid for.
I just put a fancy sticker on it from my art class and marked it up a little.
Whatever extra you made, you owe us a cut.
If you would have came to me with this idea, I would have promoted you.
I would have made you an executive, but instead, you stole.
Maybe I overstepped, but the business was going so good.
You said to go for our dreams.
I leaned in, and maybe I got lost in the sauce.
You stole from me, bitch.
- Oh! - Oh! No one is going to steal from me again! We should do this again.
Definitely.
Or We can continue this back at my place.
I didn't realize that's what you thought this was.
No, no.
I wasn't it's not No, selina, I really like you.
I have never felt this strongly about anyone before.
I just I want to spend more time with you, but if we need to take things slow, I'll I'll do whatever you want.
I feel the same way about you.
There's just There's something we should talk about before we get more serious.
Anything.
I'm trans.
What? I'm transgender.
Okay.
That's it? Yeah.
Usually that gets a bigger reaction.
Well, I don't care.
You should care.
It's a huge part of my life.
No, no, no, I'm sorry.
I care so much.
I want to hear everything about you whenever you're ready to tell me.
I meant it when I said I've never felt this way before, and And this doesn't change that.
Okay, then.
You told us the American dream was rigged against us.
I only did what I had to do to get by.
So you were selfish.
You didn't care who you hurt.
See, I didn't want to have to do this, but your ass put me in this position.
I'll pay back everything, I promise.
It's too late, bitch.
But I've got kids, a husband.
If she don't check you, then everybody gon' be stealing.
You think I'm gon' let you disrespect me, bitch? What you gon' do to me? Being disloyal? I'm gonna give you a manicure to remember.
- Desna, Desna, please.
- Shut up! Desna, come here, come here.
- What?! - Come on.
Let's take a beat.
Let's take a beat.
Listen, maybe just, like, one nail because she upsold our shit with a hucci sticker, but that probably means she's good at marketing.
She better be lucky that's all she Come back here, bitch.
[SCREAMS.]
Shit! Shit! Virginia, help me! Unh! Sh Oh, shit.
Is she dead? Shit.
[SIGHS.]
That was a good set you did for her, Jenn.
Yeah, Bambi really loved her animal print.
Too bad we had to cut them.
We had to, Virginia.
Desna's DNA was all over them.
It's not like we had a choice.
No one wanted this to happen.
It was an accident, y'all.
Right, Des? Bambi got what she deserved.
[KNOCK ON DOOR.]
Hey, girl.
Y'all are not going to believe what happened to me tonight.
Bambi's dead.
Say what now? Desna killed her.
I-it was an accidental homicide, but She dead.
Sugar, sugar Talk to me.
Good luck.
She got caught stealing from Claws Up.
End of story.
You know I'm here for you.
Thanks, Polly.
I also had an experience with death tonight.
Joyce? The Baron had this friend with terminal cancer, and I helped her cross to the other side.
You mean you offed her? No, no, it was nothing like that.
It was like I was her Shepherd, and I walked her into the light.
Y'all, it was the most beautiful and peaceful thing I've ever experienced.
Wow.
That's like a hallmark card.
Yeah, I think I found my calling.
I'm meant to be a death doula.
Okay, enough, Dr.
Kevorkian.
I'm serious.
Something profound happened to me, Desna.
I've never seen death before as a as a miracle.
I bet Bambi would disagree.
Shut it.
What? You killed her.
VIRGINIA: Y'all, I think that we can agree on one thing, Georgia stepped up big time, right? - Yeah.
- Yeah, she did.
Never would have thought that teeny-tiny baby would have took down a grown man.
Well, that's because she ain't got super powers.
She's got stripper powers.
Looks like I hired the right girl.
At least somebody is doing something right.
[SIGHS.]
There you are.
I've been waiting.
It's time for us to finish what we started.
I can't believe I finally caught you between women.
God, you are cute.
There's too much going on, and it's probably not the best idea to screw one of my employees.
I was hoping I'd be more than your employee.
Sorry, we should probably leave it at that.
Oh! I just wanted a fun night out.
[LAUGHS.]
yep, me too.
I keep thinking about the way things went down, and, you know, if Georgia wouldn't have called us about the break-in, things could have gone real south with Ann.
South of what? It's already a pile of shit with that traitor, and you know if the situation was reversed, she would have came at us hard, too, so You're really not scared of making a mistake.
You're just okay with how everything shook out.
Everything I did, I did for us, the business, our future.
- What? - I know, I know, I know, I know.
- What? - I just you know, if I would have known that the drug game meant running around and offing people, I may have made a different choice.
Don't you dare make me out to be the bad guy while you play the helpless white woman whenever it's convenient.
Your family been in the drug game since day one! You know what this life is.
I know.
I'm just scared, Des.
Some lines you cross you can't come back from, and we killed somebody.
I know.
You've got to pull up.
- [PHONE RINGS.]
- I just oh, god.
Baby, can we not do this right now? Me and Des are right in the middle of something and What? Where? Okay.
Okay, I'll be right there.
What? Palmetto PD just picked up Baylor and Brienne.
What? What happened? A neighbor found them wandering in the street.
They were in their nightgowns, and Baylor almost got hit by a car.
Shit.
[INDISTINCT CONVERSATIONS.]
There he is.
Bryce, where are the girls? Uh, they're with social services.
They won't let me in to see them.
Okay, well, I need to see the girls.
Who do we need to talk to? I need to see my girls.
Hey, hey, hey.
Okay, Jennifer Husser, - h-u-s-s-e-r.
- I got it.
I got it.
- Okay.
- Who's got the Husser kids? The officer said that they're fine.
They're not hurt or nothing.
All right? Where were you? I need to talk to them.
You were supposed to be home.
You were supposed to be headed home.
The sitter called.
No, Natalie said that you were on your way home.
Where are they? I need to see them now.
What do we do? It's all right.
No, it's all right.
It's gonna be all right.
It's just a mistake.
All right? It's gonna be all right.
