Previously on "Our Kind of People"
Getting in with the Franklins
can help Eve's Crown.
The Graceties support
Black businesswomen
from within the ranks.
And I will do whatever I can to help.
Leah Franklin.
There's always been
something special between us.
You know that.
Listen carefully.
You may not sell your shares
to Teddy Franklin.
I mean, I am the end
of the Harmon line, right?
- Come on. Let's just
- Let go of me!
Welcome to the party
- We in the house full effect
- Hey! Hey! Hey!
We all dressed in
Fly gear, while here no stressin'
- Hunnies bomb rush the stage
- Okay, oh, wow.
It's kinda hected
- Homies flexin', the hype
- Oh, oh, oh.
Nun less than a 10
- You better get in, you can't miss
- Oh, hey!
DJ gettin' funky onna mix
Shorty she bangin', I'm tryna dip
- Baby all that and a bag of chips
- Oh, they're coordin
- Oh, okay.
- Kick it!
Oh! Why we moving on?
I didn't get the beginning,
the first part.
- It's hit, then hit.
- Okay.
Yeah, put some stank on it, though.
- Then turn.
- What in the
My stank on it?
I didn't I didn't like that.
Y'all was doing that?
Oh, yeah, your dad was shutting
down the house parties.
Your mom was the one
with all the moves.
She was da bomb.
- Da bomb?
- Da bomb!
- Da bomb-diggity.
- Oldie out here.
- Wow.
- We are not old!
Da bomb!
Hey, hey!
What y'all got going on
up in this Nikki flick?
Well, Nikki made the mistake
of asking Nate if he could dance, so
I had to bust out some Kid 'n Play
"House Party" on her.
Hey.
You okay?
I s-saw you leave early.
I, uh I went to a meeting.
Oh. Did it help?
We talked about making amends.
That's one way to heal the past.
You know, Darius' death is on my hands.
But in my heart, I know that I am not
the only one suffering because of it.
Talking about Tyrique?
He came asking me
what I knew about his father.
Lord help me,
I didn't tell him what I know.
Don't give up on him too soon, okay?
I mean, I know that you and
And Nate are finding your footing,
but don't lose sight of Tyrique.
He's a good man and worth holding on to.
Piggy, I know he is, okay?
And I don't even blame him for
what's happening between us.
I mean, it's Teddy and his secrets.
There's a meeting at Leah's later
today for Graceties Bid Week.
If I run into Teddy there,
I'm gonna give him a piece of
my mind about blackmailing you.
No. You'll do no such thing.
Now, I told you, you poke that snake,
and he'll just slither back
into some damn hole,
and you might not ever find out
what happened to Eve.
So, what am I supposed to do?
Bide your time and hold your tongue.
If you want to catch a snake,
you got to get close enough
to pin it down by the throat.
Boxes will offer private luxury
built with sustainable materials.
Guests will be able to relax
knowing they're part of the future,
not the past.
Sustainable materials, private luxury
I love everything about it.
And thank you all.
It has been an honor to pitch on this.
I have high hopes
that this is going to
raise your profile, son.
So, uh, listen, can you do me a favor?
- Absolutely. Anything.
- You know this Jack Harmon mess?
- Terrible news.
- Yeah, with complicated fallout.
He had some important papers
that I urgently need.
Could you go down to the precinct
and collect them for me?
I have a legal courier on standby,
but this needs a personal touch.
And as always, your discretion
is greatly appreciated.
Remember this?
I swear, you and Jack
carried those lacrosse sticks
everywhere that summer.
It's gonna be hard to imagine
him not being around.
Yeah, and he was such
a huge part of our life.
Speaking of trouble
I wanted to ask about you and Jack.
Why would Lauren assume that you
had an affair?
At the Black Diamonds Ball
Jack kissed me,
and Lauren walked in on us.
And she assumed it was mutual,
but, Raymond, it was not.
And I
I was embarrassed.
And he was drunk, and it
You know how Jack gets.
Unfortunately, I do, yeah.
I should have told you that night,
but we had gotten into that argument,
and you were already so angry with me.
I was so angry at you that night.
But despite what your sister
wants to believe,
I know a thing or two
about ambush kisses, so
Right.
Yeah.
Yeah.
I know learning about this kiss
has to complicate your feelings,
but the closest thing
you have to a brother
just died.
Raymond, put the phone down
and just give yourself
a minute to process
- whatever you're feeling.
- I wish I could do that,
but I have to issue a press release,
notify the board,
meet with the attorneys.
You know, Jack met with Teddy
the day that he died.
I'm pretty sure he had the paperwork
of the transfer of shares with him.
Now, if I can get a hold of those
before Teddy executes that contract,
all of Jack's Darmon shares
revert back to me.
Hey.
I appreciate you for checking in on me.
Wait.
Oh, I'm sorry. I gotta
I know. I'm nervous, too.
Bid Week is make-or-break.
A bid means you're in.
Angela.
Angela?
Yeah, girl.
Fingers crossed for all of us.
Ladies, welcome to Bid Week,
where our perspectives
have one final opportunity
to show us why they're deserving
of our storied and exclusive membership
at our "Pastry and Pedigree"
charity event tomorrow.
Each perspective will bring something
sweet to share at the event.
Now, know that your desserts
will be judged
on more than just flavor,
but flavor is very important.
We are looking for family recipes
that tell the story
of our perspective's heritage
and pride and lineage.
You will each tell your story
during a Q&A,
and your answers will factor
into the voting
at the end of the event,
where only five women
will be awarded the bid to
become a part of the Graceties.
Good luck in the kitchen, ladies.
Mmm. It's gonna be sweet.
Okay, so, let's go ahead and break
into our event committees, shall we?
I put Olivia on snack duty.
It must be fun
to be President sometimes.
Oh, you have no idea.
And at least we don't have to
worry about her
getting in the way of your bid
now that I've censured her.
You sure about that?
Oh, I heard about how you
impressed Giselle Hilgard.
Oh, yeah. She told me.
You're not only on track
to get a bid, Angela
You're on track to get an investor.
And you're so close,
and everything that you want
for your business,
it can be yours as long as you focus.
I hope you don't mind my popping in.
I just wanted to
congratulate Angela on
Don't touch me.
What just happened?
I don't need your congratulations, okay?
Are you okay?
L-Leah, I'm sorry.
Uh, I should leave.
My mom didn't have a lot
of money or recipes,
but she always had rose water
in the kitchen,
and honey.
These are a couple of her
special ingredients.
She would sprinkle a little
here, drizzle a little there,
and it would spice up
even the driest of cornbreads.
Right, baby?
Yep.
My little helper.
What would y'all make? Let me know.
Sound off in the comments.
We'll be back.
I know how much getting this
Graceties bid means to you.
You know, resources and
mentorship and contacts.
These ladies have everything you need
to keep growing Eve's Crown.
See, you ain't slick.
I know you got a dog in the fight, too.
Don't worry. I remember our talk
about boarding school.
And once I get this distribution
deal, I'll be able to afford it.
Oh, my God.
Oh. Hey.
Uh, well, somebody's breaking a sweat
- over Pastry and Pedigree.
- Several sweats.
Nobody said you could just
sneak up in my house and sneak a peek.
- I'm not.
- Okay? It's a competition.
Hey, Auntie.
- Um, I'ma go find a video for us.
- Hey, Nikki.
Thank you, baby.
I'm sorry. I didn't mean
to interrupt anything.
No, you're fine. What's up?
Um, I was just going
stir-crazy in the house,
thinking about what happened to Jack.
I heard about that.
- Yeah.
- I am so sorry.
You okay?
- How's Raymond?
- He is okay.
I opened up to him about Jack.
Yeah, and we had a conversation
that we definitely needed to have.
Wow. And, um
So now I'm just trying
to keep myself busy.
And so, if you need me
on baking duty, I I got you.
Oh, girl, I Do not
Don't you Seriously.
I mean, I can't even bake
right now, I'm so distracted.
Got some family stuff going on.
- Um
- Mm.
So, that's what was going on
earlier with you and Daddy?
I just think I moved too quickly
in getting close to Teddy,
so now I'm just refocusing
on my business, you know?
Getting Nikki on track.
I probably
haven't said this to you, but
I admire how you always
put your girl front and center.
I mean, even when we were
first butting heads,
I could see that you had
this drive to build for her.
It seems as if your mother
was just as driven to succeed for you.
I mean, for her to have made it
to Graceties "Hell Week"
in the Alpha Chapter,
she must have been on track
to launch herself into success.
My mother tried out for membership?
Yeah, according to Olivia.
- That's Olivia?
- Mm-hmm.
And my mom, your mom.
Oh, my gosh.
And then all her hopes
and dreams were crushed
when she was arrested
at the Grand Illumination Ball
when Teddy
When Teddy what?
Forget it.
I don't even have proof,
and once I say this,
I can't unsay it, so
Well, you obviously think
something might have happened,
so just tell me.
I think my mother's drug arrest
was a set-up,
and I think Teddy was involved.
Angela,
we're talking about crack here.
My father would never be
involved in that.
Oh, but my mother would?
No, I-I-I didn't mean to
insinuate that that's what
You know what?
Our father has a secret, Leah.
And I think he's terrified
that I'ma find out what it is.
Tyrique, I have a confession to make.
I lied to you when I told you
that I'd never heard of Darius Bates.
Darius and I, we were a couple
back in the day
Back when your father, Calvin,
worked for Teddy
and Calvin hired Darius to help him out.
Darius worked for my father?
Sometimes. To do Teddy's dirty work.
What kind of dirty work?
Darius never said what,
but it had to be dark.
Darius was using.
Calvin was in such a depression.
I don't think that your father
would have taken his own life
if he didn't have something
truly weighing on him.
Well, why didn't you tell me
any of this to begin with?
I got my own demons,
and when you came asking
about your father,
I wasn't ready to face them.
But now
I am,
and I have seen you wrestling
with all of this.
And I think that I have
just made things worse
by lying to you,
and I am sorry.
Look, and I appreciate that,
but is there anything else
that you can tell me
about Darius and my father?
Anything specific?
I'm sorry.
Darius' secrets died with him.
But for what it's worth, your father
was a good man.
A gentle soul, even if he did
things that he was not proud of.
I needed to hear that.
Oh, Tyrique,
you have every right
to be angry with me.
Look, this isn't about you, Piggy.
I'm just trying to figure out
how to deal with the fact
that the man that picked up the pieces
after my father died is the same one
that put him in that place in
in the first place.
My mother used to always say
that people could be
two different but equal things
at one time.
With all due respect to your mama,
that ain't true.
People can present two versions, but
one
The true version
will always show its ugly head.
And we all got to get to
a-a place in life where we can look
that version in the
mirror and not look away.
That's freedom.
You know, it's a it's a shame
what happened, Mr. Dupont.
Now, I understand that the,
uh the deceased,
you and he were business partners.
Yeah, but it was
It was more than that.
I knew Jack my whole life.
I asked for this meeting in
hopes to recover some documents
that were left in his room.
Yeah, well, I wish I could help.
Teddy Franklin's legal team
has already petitioned
for the release of all business
documents found at the scene.
Legally, seems they belong to him.
He's sending someone to
collect them today.
Oh. Well, good.
Well, I'll just have to give
the ol' father-in-law a call.
You know, but since you're here,
I've got a question.
The coroner ruled Jack's death
as an accident,
but we believe a-a woman
visited that room
Maybe had a drink with him, hmm?
- What makes you think that?
- Housekeeping.
The room was cleaned
and reset with three glasses,
and my forensics team
recovered two glasses.
And the, uh the club manager,
he also reported there was
a lingering scent
of women's perfume in the bungalow
where you both discovered the body.
Didn't you notice any of that?
Can I level with you, Detective?
Look, Jack was far from perfect, and
he often hired some high-end
escorts to keep him company.
But I would appreciate it if the family
didn't find out just
how complicated Jack was.
Only because we wouldn't want
the sordid details
of his private life to leave
a stain on the large donation
that's gonna be made to the Police
Foundation in Jack's name.
No.
Uh, no, we wouldn't want that.
So, um, thank you.
Thank you. Thank you for your time.
- Thank you, Mr. Dupont.
- All right.
All right, sir. Thank you.
Please, please!
No! No!
You good?
Yeah.
Thank you.
I was just doing something for Teddy.
I-I was leaving and
Let me get you some more water.
Suicide wow.
That's, uh That's rough.
Uh, the worst enemies a man will
ever face are his own demons.
Yeah.
And that isn't the man I knew.
I feel like I'm mourning him
all over again
Even though I thought I got
through the worst part as a kid.
I gotta get through it, though,
or it's gonna weigh me down.
Maybe I'm mourning my
relationship with Teddy, too.
He stepped up, took on the role
of my father.
God knows that man has a way
of reeling you back in.
Mm. Yes, he does.
So, you, uh
You heard about Jack, huh?
Yeah.
Yeah, I'm sorry to hear it.
Even if the two of us never got along.
Jack definitely was a
An acquired taste, that's for sure.
You know, that last year,
he was so vulnerable.
Teddy manipulated him into
being able to bail out Darmon.
Hard as I tried,
I could never get past that.
Jack was my oldest friend.
At the time that he passed, I can't
even say I ever knew him at all,
thanks to Teddy.
Mind if take a look at those documents
before you take them back
to Franklin Holdings?
I've been wondering why you're
being so nice to me.
You were out of it on the chair.
I was just trying to help.
We've known each other
since boarding school.
This honestly might be
the longest conversation
- we've ever had.
- And every single time,
I was always asking you to hang
out with me and my friends.
- You always had an excuse
- No.
So I just stopped asking you.
When I started there,
I was the charity case.
I only got in because Teddy
waved his magical checkbook
and paid my way.
Then when things started coming
missing from the dorm,
everybody pointed they finger
at the poor Black kid.
I never thought that that was you.
But you didn't take up for me,
stick up for me.
You could count the number
of Black kids on one hand.
If there was anybody
that should have had my back,
- it should have been you. I was an outcast!
- Okay, okay, hold on.
Y Okay, you weren't
a thief then. Got it.
But right now, Teddy needs these
papers to keep stealing from me,
and you're helping him
do that right now.
And you still the same fake-ass
rich kid that you were in school.
You may not be wearing the
school colors on that blazer,
but you still haven't
changed your stripes.
- Hey.
- Hey.
How'd it go with Tyrique?
He forgave me.
I knew he would.
He's so good.
Like his father.
I thought talking to him
would ease the guilt
that I've been carrying around
all these years,
but I still couldn't tell
Tyrique the whole truth.
I didn't want to tell him
that I killed somebody.
You know, I am walking around here free,
and I have taken another person's life.
And I have prayed on it, Angie,
and there's only one thing
left to do right.
I am going down to that police station,
and I am going to turn myself in.
- What?
- And there is nothing
that you can do, say,
or pray that will stop me.
Hey, babe.
Never noticed how lonely Tyrique
looked in these pictures.
Oh, yeah.
This is Parents' Weekend.
That was always a really tough
time for him.
All day, I've been
pushing down this feeling.
It's a feeling of relief that Jack died.
People are reacting to me
as if I should feel torn up
that my oldest friend died, but I don't.
I can actually breathe now.
I feel guilty about that.
Babe, your feelings are valid,
and you shouldn't feel guilty
about having any of them.
Well, truth is, he wouldn't
even allow me my guilt.
Even in death, Jack is still a problem.
Tyrique was sent to retrieve
the shares transfer
from Jack to Teddy.
For some reason,
Tyrique is still loyal to Teddy,
and I-I wish I could warn him.
I gotta get out ahead of your father.
'Cause that man will hurt anyone
in his path
just to protect his own interest.
You know, I am not blind to
what my father's done.
I mean, even Angela has gone
back to not trusting him.
But I can't just stop trusting him.
I mean, it's me.
He wouldn't hurt his family.
He wouldn't hurt you?
Really?
You might want to ask
your mother about that, babe.
Piggy, you cannot turn yourself in.
Do you hear yourself?
You're talking about
confessing to murder.
You're talking about the police.
Tell her, please.
Look, Piggy, being in
on the inside changes you,
and I'm not talking about
loss of freedom.
I'm talking about deep down
in your soul.
Being here now,
I'm just now starting to feel
like I'm getting back to what I was
Under this roof,
feeling like I'm appreciated,
like I actually have value.
Being a part of this family
is the first time
in a long time I have truly felt free.
And I can't imagine ever
giving this up again.
Piggy, please listen to Nate.
Think about Nikki.
We can't lose you to this.
There's gotta be another way, okay?
Can you just sleep on it?
Promise me that?
Before you decide. Please.
I will take more time
to pray on it, okay?
Thank you, thank you, thank you.
Mm, give 'em up.
Come on.
Wow, you got three.
That was pretty good, Mommy.
You seem really good.
- I'm trying.
- Mm.
They only let me have
sugar-free Jell-O in here.
Ah, okay.
All these sweets remind me
Pastry and Pedigree
must be coming up soon.
That's right. It's actually today.
And the Grand Illumination Ball
is right around the corner.
Actually, I wanted to ask you
about the Grand Illumination
Ball in 1984,
when you were inducted
into the Graceties.
Remember?
Evelyn Vaughn was also arrested
that night?
That means I've missed the Cotillion.
Tell me all about Lauren's dress.
I know this may be hard for you
I think I'll have another shortbread.
No. Mommy, Mommy, look.
I need to know what Daddy did.
Leave it!
Your father
was going to run away with Eve
that night.
He was going to abandon me us.
I struggled so hard.
I wanted to stick with my medication
so that I could be
a mother to you again.
But every time I start to get better,
I start to remember.
- Daddy was gonna leave you.
- Mnh-mnh.
Unspeakable things
happened that night
Things I don't want to remember.
Things I need to be free of!
Oh, Mommy, what happened that night?
- Hey, Mommy.
- Leah.
Your hands are bleeding!
Help Mommy!
Teddy? N-No!
- What are you doing?! Mommy.
- Mommy!
- Please!
- Mommy!
Okay, just tell me.
Tell me what you want to be free of.
It's all right. It's all right.
It's okay.
What in God's name
do you think you're doing?
I don't know, Daddy.
Maybe I was just trying to have
one less secret in this family.
And you brought on an episode.
I was trying to find out what she knew
about the Grand Illumination
Ball in 1984.
You remember
The night that your mistress
ended up in handcuffs?
Care to shed any light on that?
I mean, were you involved?
Of course not.
I got Eve the best lawyer in Boston,
and I got her released.
Mommy also said that you and Eve
were gonna run away together
that night?
Is that true?
A lot of things happened that night.
Your mother
is not well.
She's been confused
for a very long time.
And where are these
questions coming from?
I'm trying to give
my sister some peace.
- Ah.
- Oh, you know what?
A-A-And if helping her find out
what happened to her mother
does that, I mean
Don't you think that
she deserves the truth?
The mere mention of Eve,
and your mother gets upset.
You know what I've
learned from Raymond?
Hmm?
You cannot be family if you keep
hiding things from each other.
Your mother needs to heal.
In peace.
Angela wants the truth,
but that will do nothing
but bring more harm to Rose.
I hoped welcoming Angela
into the family
would quell her suspicions,
but now I see
that she's not able to leave
the past in the past.
So, as much as it pains me,
as much as we have come to love her,
Angela no longer
has a place in Oak Bluffs
or in this family.
We must ensure that she does not
We have to stop her.
You have to stop her, Leah.
Get rid of her your way,
or my way will be worse.
Raymond?
You've been avoiding your mother.
I'm sorry. My plate has been full.
Well, retrieving Jack's
stock transfer paperwork
should be the gravy on top.
Tell me you've got the gravy.
Actually,
I've been cleaning up after you.
You are the one
that made a mess of Darmon,
and the way I see it,
I handled the Jack situation
the way it ought to have been handled.
What's that supposed to mean?
I thought that was an accident.
Did you
That is an incredibly hurtful
thing to suggest,
and I won't tolerate it.
You won't tolerate it?
Okay, all right.
Well, how about you tolerate this
Things will now be handled on
my timeline the way I see fit.
I don't want any more barking
about some updates.
Can only be one big dog
in this family. I'm it.
I will not sit idly by
and allow you to
Do you even realize that the police
are already tracking the fact
that a woman
was in Jack's room that night?
I can easily destroy the evidence
that has your DNA on it that
puts you at the crime scene.
Or I can just give that
over to the police.
The only say that you're gonna
have in that matter
is whether or not
you want my protection.
Sweetheart.
I don't know how this conversation
became so unpleasant, but
I need you to be my good boy.
I am done being your good boy.
Mom, here they come.
But we don't get to pick and
choose, they want our rhythm
But they don't ever want our blues
Ladies.
Pound cake very down-home.
Is this your best family recipe?
Actually, this is a new tradition.
I created this recipe
especially for this occasion.
Oh, the rules not to your liking?
Actually, the rules
were very, very clear.
But I don't come from a family
with a big book of recipes
that were handed down.
My mother didn't bake.
I mean, her signature was instant grits.
But she did spend most of her
time in the kitchen
Creating her hair care formulas
from scratch.
I used Mama Eve's original
Eve's Crown conditioner recipe
as inspiration.
This dessert is made with rose
water, coconut oil, and honey
Three of her key ingredients,
which I like to think
represent her passion, constancy,
and sweet inspiration.
And what should inspire us to give you
one of the five bids to join the
Graceties Society this season?
Along the way, I've fallen
in love with this organization.
I've seen firsthand what
the power of sisterhood can do.
It may not always be easy,
but it's something
that I want in my life
and that I'm willing to fight for.
Thank you, Ms. Vaughn.
Um, Miss Olivia?
Uh, you forgot to take a bite.
I did forget, didn't I?
Yeah, you, uh
Here's plates for everyone.
This is very good.
You know that pound cake
is one of my all-time favorite desserts.
Mmm.
Baby girl, you almost gave me
a heart attack.
Oh, my God.
So, it's safe to say
that you have nothing
to worry about with the Graceties.
A-And you shouldn't worry
about Daddy anymore, either.
I asked him about the night
your mother was arrested.
What? W-What did he say?
Um, he said that he paid for
the best lawyer in Boston.
So there's no logic to him
setting her up
for possession
and intent to distribute.
I mean, why would he have her arrested?
Well, um, she was pregnant with
me, his illegitimate child.
To stop her from going to the
press or destroy her reputation,
ruin her credibility,
shut down any hope of a
paternity suit or child support.
No, that that just seems
really extreme.
Okay, look sometimes,
to feel free from the past,
we have to face a cost
of an uncomfortable history.
I mean, the only reason I even
took the risk of asking this
was to settle the past, you know?
To bring our family together,
to move our family forward.
There's no moving forward
if we're not stepping out
on the good foot.
That means truth, Leah.
My mother was hurt.
So was mine, in case you forgot.
I mean, and she's still hurting.
Okay, let's just
let's just leave this alone
for now, okay?
Leah.
Until I find out exactly
what happened to Mama Eve,
I am looking under every rock.
I will turn this island over
and shake it out if I have to.
I owe her that.
Excuse me.
I'm glad to see you here.
Yeah, I'm just stopping by
for a minute.
I was hoping I could convince you
to stay long enough for an apology.
So, listen, I get why
you think that I'm fake.
I didn't have your back
the way that I should have,
but I was young,
and I was never cruel to you.
And the truth is,
I was covering for Jack.
I kept quiet about him
being the dorm thief.
He was bored, lazy,
and was just doing stupid stuff
'cause he wanted to have fun.
And that's who you chose
to be friends with?
Thought I had to because
of our close family ties.
I didn't even understand
that I was free to chose
my own friends.
Thought it would undermine everything
that my family had worked for.
Yeah, so you helped Jack keep it quiet.
His plan was to point the finger at you
because he knew you were innocent.
Then once the administration
came and checked your room,
they wouldn't see any proof,
they would stop the investigation,
and he wouldn't get caught.
And, look, I know I should have
handled that differently,
but I did report him anonymously,
and that's how he got expelled.
I-I thought he transferred.
No, that's what they call expelled
when your family writes
a generous check.
Anyway, the part that I didn't
get right with you
was I should have told you
that Jack was the reason
why you were an outcast.
And if I'm keeping it 100, look,
that was the first of many times
that I had to cover for him,
and I never should have done that.
So
we've been sitting
at the same dinner tables,
going to all the same functions
for all these years
and barely speaking.
Yeah, that's a waste. I know.
But you're a real solid brother,
and I should have had your back
a long time ago.
Listen, I know I don't have any
right to speak on this,
but don't let your loyalty
to Teddy ruin you.
Riding in that man's pockets,
it may seem easy,
but trust me It comes with a toll.
- Gentlemen.
- Teddy.
Teddy, I've got Jack's
paperwork for you.
- Drop them by tonight?
- Oh, that'll be just fine.
And I-I really appreciate
your assistance
in keeping things in order.
Okay, sisters.
Let the voting begin.
Angela Vaughn.
What say you, ladies?
Madame President, the deciding vote
to make Angela Vaughn
the fifth and final initiate
is yours.
I'm sorry, Ms. Vaughn.
You did not make the cut.
You had me fooled there for a minute.
What you said hit me.
I don't know what
my loyalty to Teddy cost me,
but it cost my father his life.
Getting this deal memo
means a lot to me.
I appreciate it.
I still gotta deliver some
of that paperwork to Teddy
so he doesn't suspect anything.
But without Jack's signature,
he can't take over the shares,
which means he can't take
control of your company.
- You're still in the game, right?
- Still in the game.
Yeah, and from here on out,
he's not gonna have me, either.
I'm done with Teddy.
Nah, don't be.
You'd make a good inside man
if you stayed on.
For you?
For us as partners.
Teddy's messed with both of our lives.
We can take him down together.
We can bring him to his knees,
and we can make
a lot of money doing it.
I'm in.
Kept Teddy from taking Jack's shares.
I can still get Darmon back.
Baby, what's wrong?
Hey.
I heard what happened with Leah.
I'm sorry. I know how bad
you wanted the Graceties.
Are you okay?
I don't know what I am.
I know I've been absent,
and I'm dealing with a lot
of stuff with my dad.
But I'm working.
And I have a new way of
Of handling my anger over
what happened to my father.
I'm done pushing you away.
And I know I have a lot of
making up to do.
Thank you for sharing that.
It means a lot.
We'll talk.
Hey.
Hey.
How'd it go?
- You didn't get the bid?
- No incubator.
No Graceties.
I don't know what I'm gonna do.
Well, it's been a hard day all around.
Piggy knew you would try to talk
her out of turning herself in.
She left you and Nik these.
Angie, I wish I could rewind
the years and redo the past.
Not all of it.
Not the good times
with you, Nikki, and Eve.
Those memories I want to keep
holding dear to my heart
and never let go.
But, you know,
sometimes you find yourself
living in a prison cell
One you didn't even know you were in.
But it's only when you see how
small your life has become
that you realize the bars around you,
you put up yourself.
And sometimes, the only way to get free
is to be honest about how you got there
in the first place.
Oh, baby, I know you forgive me
for what I've done in the past.
But now I have to forgive myself.
