[KNOCK ON DOOR]

Hey.

I'm sorry.

About what?

The way I behaved last night

when you said Bob said Jacob
could be AP and not me.

Grace, I'm sorry.
I was... I was out of line.

You were disappointed.

It's okay. It's not.

And the thought
that you and Jacob

are gonna be working together
at Calvary now,

and me, I'm just...

They won't let me hire you
as AP, babe.

I know, but... do you think
they'd let me come back

as music minister?
What about Carlton?

He's been begging me
to come back.

That H&H lady
is driving him nuts.

You said you were done singing.
I know what I said.

I just wanna be on the team.

I will talk to Phil tomorrow.

You will? Really?
No guarantees, okay?

Okay. Okay.

[BOTH CHUCKLE]

Okay. Thank you.

You're so good.

Well, go get some sleep, okay?

You too.

It's good
to have my sister back.

Amen.

SOPHIA:
Are you sure you're not
able to come?

Oh, I want to, baby,
but I have this

last-minute meeting.

With that Phil DeMars?

That man could stand
to be stood up a few times.

Where does he get
his confidence?

I feel like I could push him
over with one finger.

I think he's fine...

In, like, an evil way.

Well, now, you got
the evil part right.

All right.
It's your last chance.

[CHUCKLES]

A day of haute couture
and fancy food

with the most beautiful women
in Memphis.

Mom, please come. It'll be fun.

Baby, we have
the whole road trip

to Hampton to talk
about clothes.

Who knows, maybe we'll stop
at some outlet stores.

Michael Kors in Williamsburg?
If they have Michael Kors

in Williamsburg, yes.
Yes, there is. Okay. Deal.

All right. Have fun.

I love you, guys. Bye.

[SNIFFLES]
Well... I know
you're upset right now

and feeling a little left out.

But you're still
the heart of this family.

And I know...

[SIGHS] ...that God has a plan

waiting for you too.

Now...

it's gonna take a minute
for you to...

know what it is.

Thanks for saying that, Daddy.

Whether or not
it turns out to be true.

It is.

Now... Ooh. Ahem.

I gotta...

I gotta get to my travel agent.

I'm planning a honeymoon.

You and mom
are getting remarried?

Well, that depends
on your mother.

But... without a vision...

the people perish.

[CHUCKLES]

[CHUCKLES]

[EXHALES HEAVILY]

Your 10 a.m. with Judee Whitmore

got moved to next week. Mm-hmm.

Wait a minute. Whitmore?
She's Bob's wife?

No. His wife d*ed last year.
She's his daughter.

She's the head of Praise
and Worship for all H&H.

Huh? So apparently,
nepotism's okay

when it's his family,
but not ours.

Mm-hmm. What does
she want with me anyway?

Oh, she just wants to...

get to know ya.

Phil says he wants to talk
about Blue Lake when you get in.

It is a summer camp.

What could be the problem?

He said, "Have Grace see me."

Oh, my gosh.
Could you see what he wants?

I thought the deal
was to play nice?

Every morning,
I come in here and it's like:

"Phil wants to see you." Enough.

All right. All right.
I'll take care of it, okay?

Thank you. Thank you.

Is he here yet?

He's waiting in your office.

[EXHALES HEAVILY] Great.

Thank you.

[PEOPLE CHATTERING INDISTINCTLY]

Hey, Noah.

So, uh...

how was your flight?

How was my flight?

Are you kidding me?
I know. I'm sorry. I...

Why didn't you tell me
we have a son?

I told you
when we talked on the phone.

I knew if you knew
that I was pregnant,

you'd wanna keep it.
I need to understand

why the hell
you kept this from me.

I had just told my parents
about Mac and Faith.

I was leaving home.
I was 18 years old.

I wasn't about to have a child.
But you did.

I went to a clinic...

but I couldn't
go through with it.

I couldn't let him go.

[SIGHS]

And then I had him.

He was so beautiful.

But the nurse said,
"Give him to me

right now
or you'll never be able to."

So I did.

I just wish
you would have told me.

I thought
that was the end of it.

[♪♪♪]

Does Isabel know you're here?

I told her I'm visiting family.

So she doesn't know about A.J.?

If she did, she'd leave me.

The fact that
I have a child with you

and I can't seem
to have one with her...

I'm so sorry.

You told me the last time
that we spoke

that he contacted you
once before.

Yeah.

He found me in Phoenix
after he turned 18.

He got my name
from the adoption agency

when they unsealed
the files. I-I...

Sophia was 12 at the time.

Her dad, Ray, he was always
looking for a reason

to turn her away from me
or take her away. I...

So what? You...
You just said, "Get lost?"

Noah... You just said

how you couldn't let him
into your life,

because of Isabel.

I know it's not pretty to admit,
but Isabel is real.

Sophia is real.
How they feel matters.

How we feel about them matters.
This is complicated.

I'm not saying
what I did is right,

by you or him...

I just wanna make it right now.

Then do it.

He's getting released tomorrow.

[PEOPLE CHATTERING INDISTINCTLY]

JACOB:
All right. Appreciate it.
Good to be back.

Noah.

Hey, man. Hey.

Oh, man. [LAUGHS]

What's going on? I'm good.

What brings you back?

Uh, just visiting family. Yeah.

Yeah. So Gigi knows you're here?

Yeah. Yeah. We just talked.
All right. Good.

So how's Isabel? Great. Great.

Uh, how's Kerissa? [CHUCKLES]

Same Excedrin headache, man.
[CHUCKLES]

No, I'm kidding. We're good.
Uh... she's good.

Okay. And I see
you're working here again.

[SIGHS]
Yeah. And back at
the house again. Uh.

You know, everything's kind of
upside down and backward, but...

we're figuring it out. You?

Same, you know, life.

Yeah, man. Yeah.

Man, it was nice seeing you.
Hey, you too, man.

All right.

Hey, Noah.

Why don't you come by the house
to see my mom and dad?

Oh. Actually, I'm on my way
to the airport.

So maybe next time. All right.

I'll tell them you said hey.
Oh...

Jacob...

Listen... do me a favor. Don't.

I just don't wanna seem rude.

[♪♪♪]

Okay. Thanks.

[SIGHS]
My legs look like toothpicks.

Chopsticks.

You're a meal, okay?

All that matters in
the romper is the cheeks.

What's your cheek wattage?

How do I measure it?

Well, if you have to ask,
it's probably too low.

[SOPHIA SIGHS]
ZORA: You should be able

to power a small village
with your cheek watts.

[PHONE CHIMES]

ZORA: I'll show you.

Okay, so you're about like at...

25 watts? SOPHIA: What?

ZORA: Twenty-five watts.
MAE: Connie?

ZORA:
I'd go smaller,
but you could... Yeah.

The devil is a liar!

[ZORA & SOPHIA SCREAM]
What the...?

[GASPS] What just happened?

Uh...

[♪♪♪]

I dropped my phone.

[KNOCKS ON DOOR]

Got a second?

Pastor Greenleaf.

Welcome aboard.

I, uh...
trust you're settling in?

I am.

You know, it's just like
riding a bike.

[CHUCKLES]

You know, before Gigi
came back to Memphis,

I was AP under Bishop.

I know. So...

what can I do for you?

Oh. Well, Gigi told me
you wanted to talk

about Blue Lake
so I'm here to follow up.

She's too busy
to cross the hall?

Oh, uh, she just got pulled
into a meeting.

Well, okay then. All right.

Well, listen. Uh, I know...

Calvary has a long history
with this Cabin Blue Lake

and I'm sure the program
is exceptional,

but... H&H has
over 20 camps nationwide.

They're better equipped,
racially diverse,

and to be honest,
uh, much cheaper.

Well, well...
I don't know about cheaper.

[CHUCKLES]
But we've always felt, uh...

I know my parents feel this way,
I'm sure Gigi does too...

That it's nice that summer camp
gives our kids a little break

from diversity,
you know what I'm saying?

I mean, they're getting
that diversity thing

real heavy every day.

Where?

Well, America.

See...

Blue Lake allows our kids

to focus
on their black heritage:

food, art, dance, music.

I'm sure you could see
the value in that.

Well, even if I saw the value...

I don't see the savings.
We can't do it.

Because of the money?

Well, since I don't have time
right now to walk you

through Harmony and Hope's
denominational commitment

to encourage
better relationships

between all races

in the context of Christian love

and what we see
as the value of that, yes,

because of... the money.

And if Pastor Grace
has a problem with that, hmm,

she can come see me
about it herself.

Welcome back...

brother.

[♪♪♪]

Okay, then.

[WHISTLING]

[DOOR OPENS]

Hey.

Do you remember that trip
to Paris that I was...

Not now, James.

Did those girls
upset you somehow?

Oh, the girls are fine.

They're down there in Zora's
bungalow being delightful.

So may I inquire
what's got you so, uh...

flustered?
Connie Sykes, of course.

Ugh, what has she done now?

Oh, sent me an invoice
of overages related

to She Changes Everything.

The hell she did? For how much?

It's not about the money, James.

It is about the audacity
of this...

paper cut-out of a woman

who thinks
she can bully me like this.

Oh!

I mean, I know we are
all equal in God's eyes,

but there is something
uniquely grating

about the way
people with no class

flaunt their power
when they get it.

I mean, it is just amateurish

and brutish and dumb.

[SIGHS] What's that?

Um... it's nothing. Just a...

A-a bid from the exterminator.

Oh?

Well, please give them
Connie's address

and tell them
to spare no expense.

Tell them that I won't be happy
until every crawling thing

in that house
is laying on its back,

begging God for mercy,

starting first and foremost
with her.

[♪♪♪]

Lord, help me!
I know you don't like ugly...

[KNOCK ON DOOR] Yo.

Hey.

[DOOR CLOSES]

So...

Your boy, Phil DeMars,
is something else. Heh.

I mean, he's like
Uncle Tom meets Voldemort.

What is his problem
with Blue Lake?

[SIGHS]
He thinks it's too spendy.

Well, how much is it per kid?
See, it's not even really that.

There's some
denominational mission

for diversity
he wants to enforce.

We've been sending kids
there for 20 years.

Tell him no. He said if you got

a problem with it,
you come see him yourself.

Just reserve the spots
at Blue Lake,

I'll pay the difference.

That's gonna add up
pretty quick.

It doesn't matter.

Okay.

Good to know somebody
in this family

has been saving their money.

[CHUCKLES]

Oh, um...

I saw Noah was here.

Mm-hmm.

Everything all right with him?

Why?

I don't know.
He just seemed a little off.

I think he and Isabel
are having trouble.

I don't know. Oh. Hmm.

I get it.

See you later. All right.

Love you. Love you.

[DOOR CLOSES]

[DIALING]

[LINE OUT RINGS]

MAN [ON PHONE]:
Hello. Communicate Network.

Uh, hi. I need to set up
an offender phone account

for A.J. Delahaye.

MAN: And to whom am I speaking?

Um... my name
is Grace Greenleaf.

[♪♪♪]

I'm his mother.

[♪♪♪]

[PEOPLE CHATTERING INDISTINCTLY]

[CHUCKLES]
So, what do you think?

Oh. I sent you this listing

because I know your taste.

I think this could be the one.
Oh.

How much is it gonna go
for, ultimately?

Hmm, high threes, maybe four.

I mean, this neighborhood
is gaining in value.

It is a great investment.
Mm-hmm.

Make sure you take some cookies.
They're inside on the table.

Sugar-free.

Look, I know it's a good deal,

but we're kind of
cash-poor right now.

Your in-laws couldn't help you?
Girl, I'd rather sell plasma.

You know what?
Let me see what I can work out.

Okay? Thanks.

So, what do you think?

[MUSIC BLARES] [TIRES SQUEALING]

So, what's the matter?

I don't know if I can do this.

You should have heard him.

He said I was
the heart of the family.

Is that how he treats you?

Like you're
the heart of the family?

Not all the time maybe, but...

Watch what a man does,
not what he says,

and you'll see who he is.

I know he's not perfect, Phil.

He's the only pastor
I know who's been accused

of arson,
negligent manslaughter,

and still owes the IRS
two million in back taxes.

So forgive me if I reserve
my benefit of the doubt

for someone who deserves it.

Who? Do you think I offered you

the AP position to...
buy your loyalty?

No.

I did it because I saw in you
a beautiful child of God

in the grip of a family
who doesn't know...

who doesn't see
the jewel she is.

Why would you say that?

If you don't mean it,
that's cruel.

Do you think you know people?

I didn't once,
obviously, but yes.

Well, after all
you've been through, you better.

[SIGHS]

Hey. Look in my eyes, Charity.

Tell me I'm lying.

I know what you are.

I see it all.

And it's good.

You're making me shy.

[CHUCKLES]
There's nothing wrong with shy.

Especially
the way it looks on you.

That's game.

JACOB [CHUCKLES]: Oh, man.

Hey. You did a lot better
than that guy.

[CHUCKLES]
CAMERON: Yo. Hey, yo, D,

when are you trying
to drop him off

and go to the city?
I got to go, man.

Soon, bruh. Soon.

Everybody's gotta be somewhere.

[CHUCKLES]
Yeah, ain't that right?

Hey.

So listen... I know the team
is giving you a little stipend

or whatever it is...

but I figure
a little something extra

couldn't hurt your pockets.

JACOB: Extra? Like, extra what?

I'mma do me.

And I can't have you
reporting back to management

every time I feel like blowing
10 racks up in a club.

Whoa, whoa, whoa. Take it.

Whoa, whoa. Put your money away.

That's 10 grand. I... Dante...

I get it. But look...

[SIGHS] I wasted a good part

of my life thinking
I could run up the bill

and... the check
would never come.

But the check comes.

So I don't want your money, man.

Put it away.

I was just testing you anyhow.

Trying to see
if you the real holy man

my mom made you out to be.

You might make
a saint of me yet.

DANTE: Let's go, man.
CAMERON: For real?

I'm ready now.
Hey, I gotta go, man.

I'm not trying
to worry or anything...

I'm your ride, right?

Yeah, man.
Yeah. It's better than Uber.

PHIL:
Your brother came and saw me.

Now, he may be your right-hand,
but he isn't mine.

Now, when I ask to see you,

I expect the courtesy
of a visit.

Phil... I don't know
how to put this.

I don't work for you.
I'm the Southern

Conference Minister
of Harmony and Hope.

Every... pastor within
this region looks to me

for guidance and support.

And if I need either of those,
I'll let you know, okay?

Deal. Hmm.

I see you went ahead and, uh,
paid the non-refundable

application fee to Blue Lake
without my sign-off?

I paid with my own money.

Do you plan on paying
all the fees for this program?

Eventually,
it's gonna go upwards...

Hundred thousand dollars.
I know.

Oh. Do you have
that kind of cash?

I do.

Okay.

We'll pay the rest,

but you're gonna have
to explain it to Bob.

I'd be more than
happy to. But, Phil...

my sister did
ask about coming back

as a music minister,
and I told her

you wouldn't go for that...
That's fine.

See? I'm quite amenable
when I'm approached

with the requisite respect.

[♪♪♪]

The fact that he's hanging out
with this fine-ass man

and doesn't invite me?

[HIP-HOP MUSIC PLAYING]

He's punishing me.

You know, I'm not gonna go.

To Hampton? Shut up.

Look, it's like they're besties
or something.

It's outrageous.

Yeah. I'm just gonna
go in the fall.

I mean, I heard summer
in Hampton's buggy anyways.

But you already paid
for your summer classes,

haven't you?
It's just two classes.

I'll get a refund.

I don't wanna
miss this summer with you.

Or with my mom.

Okay. I'll support you...

under one condition.

Name it.
You have to live here with me.

[EXHALES SHARPLY]
It'll be a stretch
but, uh...

fine. And you have to come

to Bible time with me
and Grandma in the mornings.

That's two conditions.

I expanded my demands
on the fly.

Learned that
from The Art of w*r.

What's that?

One of Noah's old books.

There's lot of, like,
kooky old stuff in here,

and I'm pretty sure
it's haunted.

Like, seriously haunted.

[INHALES]

Why do I have to do Bible study?

Because I have to do it. Duh.

Okay. I'll wake you up
in the morning,

but I'm not going.

Okay. Fine.
We'll be like... spinsters.

What's a spinster? [EXHALES]

I never really knew.

[CRICKETS CHIRPING]

Bishop, I could get
into a lot of trouble

for printing that out for you,

so you can't tell anyone
where you got it.

Not even Lady Mae.

You have my word.

Thanks, K. Mm-hmm.

[♪♪♪]

This sure
don't feel like church.

Hi. Hey, honey.

I'm sorry I'm home late.
Zora and I, we're moving stuff

down there
and just couldn't stop.

Oh.

Is something the matter?

Ultimately, no.

Uh, but I do have
to tell you something.

Can you... Can you sit
for a minute?

Yeah, sure.

I have some news for you too,

and I think
you're gonna like it.

Yeah? What's going on?
You first.

[♪♪♪]

[♪♪♪]

I don't know what to say.

It's okay if you're upset.

I'm not upset. I just...

[SIGHS] Sophia.

My whole life...

all you've done is complain

about how Grandma and Grandpa
weren't there for Faith.

I told you, I'm gonna help A.J.

By sending him money.

You're his mom.

What he wants is his mom.

[SIGHS]

Honey, will you sit
back down, please?

Sit back down. [INHALES DEEPLY]

[EXHALES DEEPLY]

I don't want you coming
with me to Hampton.

I'll just drive myself. Oh, no.

You can't drive yourself
all that way.

I can do whatever I want.

Sophia. Sophia.

[SIGHS] What?

There is too much on the line
for me right now...

the congregation...
Harmony and Hope, okay?

Just for now,
this has to stay between us.

You are such a hypocrite.

[SIGHS]

JAMES:
You see, there's
all the evidence you need.

Right there.

H&H was paying off
Connie Sykes.

How'd you get this?

It doesn't matter how I got it.

All that matters
is how you got it, James.

Who gave you this? Karine?

Mae. Mae. Look.

Look at the date on that check.

The last check deposited
into Connie's account?

Two days
after they joined H&H.

So it was Karine.

Don't you see this is why
they don't trust you?

Pulling this kind of garbage.

Why they don't trust me?

Well, who else was at the wheel
when the ship went aground? Me?

I'm trying to get this church
back for you,

and this is what you wanna
throw back at me?

No. All I am doing is trying to
tell a man whom God just spared

to turn back
and quit your foolish ways,

or the selfsame Lord
who restarted your heart

is gonna stop it.
My heart is just fine.

Thank you. No, it's not.

This is not the way.

James, God is talking to me,
and I'm listening.

Now, I despise Connie
just as much as you do,

even more,
but this is not the way

that we're gonna win back
this church.

It's not.
Not by power and might.

Not by sneaking around
and pointing fingers.

Not by blaming and shaming.

"By my will..."

says the Lord.

James, we have to get
our house in order.

We have to get
our hearts in order,

or we're gonna lose everything.

[SIGHS]

What are you doing?

Inching you back from the edge
of an abyss that I fear...

you are inexplicably unaware.

[♪♪♪]

You like it?

Uh, where will we get
the money to pay for this?

We can sell the land.

The Real Church land? Yes.

It's just sitting across
from Calvary doing nothing.

And, I mean, if we even got
what we paid for it,

we-we'd have
a good down payment.

I... I don't wanna sell it.

Jacob, I want out of this house.

Okay. And I want you
out of this house.

Excuse me? Uh, with me.

Come on. I want you to have
what you want, Kerissa.

Don't do that.
Well, then how come...?

[SIGHS]
How come we can't
sell that land,

buy this house,
and make a fresh start?

Why isn't that the obvious move?

Something happened to me today.

Okay? What?

I got through to this kid,
a little.

All right? And I... I got
to a place inside myself

that I've never been.

Okay. What does that
have to do with this?

I mean, if we could
use that land

to do something
for kids like him...

By doing what, though?

I don't know yet.

I know, but, like...
What even maybe?

I just know that that land...

is one of the few solid things
we have left.

And I don't wanna sell it.

Can I at least ask Nadine
to do a market analysis

to see what we could
potentially get for it?

No! Jacob!

My name is on that deed,
right next to yours.

I don't have to ask.
Okay. But you did,

and I'm telling you
just wait one b*at.

All right, asking you, honey.
Listen...

just give me a week
to pray on it

and if the Lord
gives me nothing,

I'll tell you.

But just give me one week.

[SIGHS]

[♪♪♪]

GRACE: Sophia.

Sophia, please, don't do this.

It's too far
for you to drive alone.

Well... I'm not driving alone.

[SIGHS] Who's going with you?

Dad. I called him last night.

I'm picking him up
at the airport.

[CAR DOOR SHUTS]

I love you.

Baby. [SEATBELT CLICKS]

Baby... I said, I love you.

[ENGINE STARTS]

Yeah. I heard you.

Sophia.

Sweetheart... Sweetheart...

MAE:
Where is she going so early?

[CRYING] Hampton.

But I thought that
y'all were going together.

Things changed, Mom.

Well, don't you wanna
talk about it?

I don't.

[♪♪♪]

Where...? Where's Sophia going?

To college. Wait. What?

I thought she was staying?

What happened? I don't know.

I know we haven't talked
in a while, but...

I need some guidance.

[SIGHS]

I feel like
I've got an opportunity

to do something here.

It's big.

Something new.

[SIGHS]

Just don't know what it is.

If you got any ideas...

[SIGHS]

Please, let me know.

[FOOTBALL BOUNCING]

Now, I've told you
that about Darlene, Karine,

so you've got
to give a sister something.

Anything.

Okay. I can tell you this,
but you did not hear this

from me, all right?

If Darlene knew I told you
what I just told you,

she would cut me up
and throw me in the river

in an old, cheap suitcase.
[LAUGHS]

Yes. You know it. Come on. Mmm.

Noah.

Well, what about him?
[DOOR OPENS]

Why, Lady Mae.

What a surprise.

Walk with me?

Of course.

Karine, I'm sure
it's tempting to see this

as a period of transition.

I'm not sure what you mean.

Well, this interim year
while Grace will be Head Pastor

and while Harmony and Hope
seeps through this church

like a fog. Mm-hmm.

But... in God's time...

there are no transitions.

It's just the steady march
to holiness or hell,

and every day is a step up
or a step down.

I know. I thought to call you.

And a smart thought that was.

Next time you should heed
that still small voice,

because it will keep you
in good stead.

And, Karine...

you may be of use to me
at some point in the future,

so I would appreciate it
if you'd avoid getting canned.

[CHUCKLES] Yes, ma'am.

Oh.

Here.

Please see that Connie gets that

before the board meeting
tonight.

I'll spare you the question.

It is payment in full
for all remaining cost

from my Day with Lady Mae.

Oh. Feel free to let anyone

who wonders know
that I pay my debts in full...

per... Romans 13:7.

Romans 13:7. Got it.

Are you familiar with it?

Not word for... No.

What is going to get us
through this turbulent time

is the righteousness
of God, Karine.

Yes, ma'am.

[♪♪♪]

WOMAN [ON VIDEO]:
You can fast and pray
all you want,

you could know every verse
of numbers by heart, Pastor,

but if you don't
get your praise program

to where people are dying
to come to church and sing...

[RINGING] WOMAN: Your church

is gonna die.

Can I get an amen?
AUDIENCE: Amen!

WOMAN: Can I get an a...

[SIGHS]

Hello? RECORDING: Hello,

you have a prepaid
phone call from...

A.J. [RECORDED]: A.J. Delahaye.
RECORDING: ...an inmate

at the Yuma Federal
Correctional Center.

Hi. This is Grace Greenleaf.

Hi. This is A.J.

[PEOPLE CHATTERING INDISTINCTLY]

[♪♪♪]

A.J.: Are you there?

Yeah, A.J...

I'm here.

[PEOPLE CHATTERING INDISTINCTLY]

So they got a halfway house
I can land in once I'm out,

but it's just
a temporary situation, so...

GUARD: Two minutes.

So you know, I don't know.

Well, you're gonna
need money... hmm?

A.J.: Yeah.

Yeah. And a permanent place
to live.

Yeah.

GRACE:
Um, that's why
you're calling, right?

Yeah.

Does Sophia know about me?

That's her name, right?

Mm-hmm. That's her name.

So you gonna help me out
or what?

Yeah. I can help.

[SIGHS]

And I want to.

Okay. Cool. Thank you, bye.

[SOFTLY] Bye.
