Your family is like perfection.
Yeah, they make it seem that way.
Did you tell her about the kiss?
There's nothing for Viv to know.
We put it behind us, remember?
It'll be our secret.
What was going on
with your girl Erika?
Why? Did she say anything to you?
- Every time I got near her
- Excuse me.
She'd find a reason just to run off.
I wouldn't put too much on it.
This is not a good time.
No, I swear, I ain't said nothing.
Geoffrey has no idea.
What's this?
Just some store paperwork.
You know, no big deal.
What's going on?
So if we hate each other so much,
why do we keep ending up
in the same fucking room?
I don't know. How about you tell me?
[DRAMATIC MUSIC]
You got 48 hours to pitch me
on your business plan,
or I got to move on.
So hit me with what you got.
We share our story,
turn it into some fly merch.
So what you gonna call it?
BOTH: Blackccess.
Briggs wanted me to introduce y'all
to our new yoga instructor.
I actually think y'all know her.
Hey, y'all, your Aunt Viv
put in a good word for me.
That's my aunt. Always looking out.
Oh, my mom is so messy.
Woke up feeling great ♪
Yeah, I feel like

- Doesn't this look centred?
- No, make it bigger.
- Well, not that big.
- OK, all right.
- To the right.
- OK.
Ooh, let me try changing the font.
- Let's change the font.
- No, no, no. I like the font.
- Just give me the computer.
- Just give me one second.
Bro, give me the computer.
Give me the computer!
Only the artist
touches the paintbrush.

I know.
You know. Let's go!
Good morning.
Morning, Viv.
Feel free to keep staring at me.
But at least let me
give you my good side.
I'm sorry, Geoffrey.
You know I would never
put you in the middle
of any foolishness.
Mm.
Much appreciated.
But did you notice any off vibe
with Erika at the party?
Could you be a bit more specific?
I'm feeling kind of crazy. Uh
- Morning, boss.
- Good morning.
Hey, babe.
- Ooh, those are nice flowers.
- Aren't they?
They're from the caterer
who just did your party
as a thank-you for the business.
Oh, yeah, the one who all
the women were going on about?
Don't know anything about that.
Mm-hmm.

- Hey, Jazz.
- Oh, yo, what's up?
Y'all, this is Yolanda.
Yolanda, Will, Carlton.
Hey.
You look familiar.
Well, maybe because she's running
- for a city council seat.
- Oh.
I would give y'all a button,
but y'all don't look
old enough to vote.
Me and Yolanda,
we go way back to high school.
And now she's single-handedly
saving South LA.
No, Jazz is the real hero.
Holding on to his business
after a lot of owners have folded?
Charlie's is one of the few
original establishments left.
Man, I didn't know it was that bad.
Unfortunately, it is.
I got to keep making the rounds.
Thanks for passing these out
for me tomorrow.
- Of course.
- Nice meeting you, boys.
- Nice to meet you.
- [BELL DINGS]
So what's going on tomorrow?
Just this classic car event downtown.
You know, people from the community
getting together,
showing off their whips.
Wait, that sounds
like the perfect place
to talk up our business.
And to start talking up Jazz.
You know, part of the reason we know
we can do this is 'cause we got
a big-dog role model like you.
- Ah!
- Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
And also, the sooner
we start making money,
the faster we can help
save Charlie's Vinyl.
Yeah, we're not gonna
let you fail, bro.
- Promise.

but I'm not gonna go easy on you.
I don't want easy.
I want to win Nationals.
My training is intense.
This has to be your priority.
If you had summer plans, cancel them.
Thanks, Nairobi.

What is going on with your phone?
No idea.
Let me see.
Huh.
Some wannabe artist
is obsessed with you.
Liking all your posts,
blowing up your DMs.
Mm-mm. Blocked, reported.
Thank you.
Oh, I have to go meet Lisa.
- OK, I'll see you later.
- Love you.
- Tell Lisa we said hey.
- Will do.
I know why you don't want
to talk about your engagement.
'Cause you're not getting married.
What makes you say that?
I saw you kiss Jazz at Dad's party.
OK.
Look, I'm sorry you had to see that,
but that kiss was a mistake.
Well, apparently,
so was your engagement.

I told her I got you.

He's got a big project in South LA
two city blocks, retail space, condos.
I hear he's looking for a legal team.
More business?
Firm's already overextended.
Right.
With business you get
from Erika's firm.
Listen, I think it's wise you start
acquiring your own clients.
Perhaps untangle a bit, you get me?
[KNOCK AT DOOR]
Dropping off the last of the mail.
Refreshed the copy papers,

And y'all got first dibs
'cause we about to blow up real quick.
Well, anything you need,
I am happy to support.
Well, if you're free tomorrow,
we could use extra hands
at the car show downtown.
- The DTLA Classic?

Yeah, that'll definitely
bring in a crowd.
Oh, yeah, and we plan to push
Blackccess very hard.
Yeah, you know,

pushing preorders, just

Say less. I'll be there.
Maybe I could work it for the Gram,
lay across the roof

That's perfect.
What about you, Lis? You coming?
Of course she is.
I mean, I got to check
my training schedule.
But yeah, sounds cool.
So we're all going, like one big date.
Should be fun.
Well, lives aren't
gonna save themselves.
So back to my post.
- Mm.
- Mm.
I think they liked it.
So you just enjoy being
an agent of chaos, Will?
Carlton, what are you talking about?
Comingling with Lisa
and Jackie is a terrible idea.
Just, "Oh, we'll be like one big date.
Come one, come all."
Listen, Lisa's not about the drama.
- Mm.
- And me and her,
we're still on the no labels tip.

saying things like,
"Geoffrey has no idea."
OK.
I mean, like, I ain't no snitch,

Good work.

It's better we keep him close.
If he's sus, then we find out

Why do you keep saying "we"?

More of the same uninspired.
Well, I have a bit of good news.
I'm gonna be getting

relying less on business
from Erika's firm.
Interesting.
I thought that would make you happy.
I mean, you said business
from her firm was helping you.
Remember, you said this at your party
