The womb became the vessel
which became the cup
that was filled
with the blood of Christ.
Now throughout
the history of the goddess,
we see her symbols becoming
objects for our possession.
For example,
the Greeks decapitated Medusa
and placed her on
Athena's shield as protection.
Even the seats that we sit on,
does anyone know
who it symbolizes?
-The goddess?
-BELINDA: Yes.
!sis's name
literally means throne.
Is it really any wonder
why we anthropomorphize chairs
with arm, leg, and back?

Frank will be another hour,

This about the schedule,
Belinda?
-Yes.
-Oh.
Must feel rotten,
things out of your control.
-Oh, I'm fine.
-Well, that's great to know
because it's nothing personal.
It's like, uh...
-What does Frank call it?
-Yeah.
Well, just tell him that
I really need to talk to him
about the schedule, please.
I've seen people like you
give up,
but you're so, so good
and so valued.
The anthropology department
can't function
without adjuncts.
But I'm not
an adjunct anymore.
Oh, you're such a hard worker

But you dragged it in here

(BELINDA SIGHS)
Why'd I do that?
NORMAN: Hey.
(CHUCKLES) Hey. It's okay.
What's going on?
Am I supposed to be a mom?
Yes.
-You saw the baby.
-Yeah, I know, but...
it's not...
They gave away two
of my classes to a new hire.
I'm basically losing my job.
-They can't do that.
-Yes, they can.
I'm non tenure.
I knew they would always
see me as a f*cking adjunct.
Oh, sh*t.
And then
when we were at the OB,
I was jealous of everybody
because they were so happy.
And I should be happy because
I know the baby is fine
but everything is a mess.
Work and this house
still isn't right.
What are we gonna do, Norman?
(CELLPHONE RINGING)
I'm sorry. Hold on.
What's this number?

NORMAN: Jesus. Oh, my God.
There are things
I haven't told you
about Solange.
Your... your stepmom?
She's even worse
than you think.
She wouldn't let me eat...
as a kid until she believed me
when I sang Jesus Loves Me.
I don't know what's going on.
My dad is dying.
Stomach cancer.
(BELINDA GASPS)
She wants me
to come see him, but...
Norman, I am so sorry.
-We have to see him.
-No.
You have to, don't you?
No. I don't!
(NORMAN SIGHS)
(CHUCKLES SOFTLY)
She thinks
that the Holy Spirit
possesses her and...
gives her power.
She calls it
her signs and wonders.
Wow.
Why didn't you tell me?
Because it's... it's...
I thought
it would scare you away.
And honestly,
I don't think
that she would even...
approve of you and me.
-Oh, come on. She's not...

My dad is dead.

(PRAYER BEING READ

PASTOR LEWIS:
Jesus said to her,
-"He who believes in me..."
-(WHISPERS) Welcome.
"...though he may die,
he shall live."
Do you believe this?
CONGREGATION: Yes.
PASTOR LEWIS:
Death is a revelation.
Lawrence Irwin
is yet more alive
than we are now.
With his loving wife, Solange.
He was teacher,
healer,
and friend.
And...
just in case any of you
sought one more lesson...
(LAUGHTER)
Lawrence instructed me
to read his favorite passage
of scripture.
(READS) "There is one body
and spirit who is above all
"and through all and in all."

Um, this is my wife,
uh, Belinda.
Belinda. Hello.
Oh.
My condolences to you both.
-Thank you for the service.
-PASTOR LEWIS: Oh.
(CHUCKLING) Norman, wait.
Uh, Solange, your mother,
asked me to bring you to her.
-Stepmother.
-Yes.
I understand your hesitation.
I do. (INHALES SHARPLY)
Not all of us believes
quite like she does.
But, Norman, she's changed.

He didn't say
you were expecting.
And the pastor says
the days of miracles
have come and gone.

Hush now.

Oh!

Do I deserve any tenderness?

Don't you owe me

(TENSE MUSIC PLAYING)
Ain't it a wonder
how you're changing?
Sometimes I feel like
it's her body and not mine.
You're a vessel
that holds his child.
And praise Jesus,
he's making it right.
Those two will never know
what it's like.
-To change is woman.
-(BELINDA CHUCKLES)
Well, Norman
is a wonderful husband.
Like his father, bless him,
but men are children
that must be taught,
especially those
younger than us.
I will admit,
my last change
was not preferable.
Men-o-pause.

Ain't no pause in it. (LAUGHS)
Lucifer couldn't have made

-(LAUGHTER)
-Okay. Okay. Stop.
How's it look?
Had my lawyer draft the will.
Of course,
he couldn't have done as well
as my son, the lawyer.
I'm a public defender,
Solange.
-I'm not probate.
-Of course.
Helping those in need.
Taught him so well.
You wanna give us everything?
SOLANGE: Every cent.
And I already sold the house,
so add that too.
Well...
Where... where are you
going to live?
Well, doctor says I should not
live by my lonesome.
PASTOR LEWIS: Norman,
your father's final request
was that I help this decision.
(EXHALES HEAVILY)
He wants you to take
your mother into your home.

-Oh, don't you get it?
(CHUCKLES)
I'm willing to give you
all the money I got.

is you take me home,
to live my final days
on this fallen world
with my family.
(MUSIC BUILDS, STOPS ABRUPTLY)
sh*t.
Look, Solange is right.
We can't live in the past.
She was an awful mother
to me...
stepmother to me as a kid.
The only TV I could watch
was one g*dd*mn tape
of VeggieTales
because Nick Jr. was ungodly.
VeggieTales?
Definitely after my time.
But look, grown-up Norman
needs our help now.
Yeah. No.
I... I... I don't know.
Look, I couldn't buy
a can of paint.
All I know is
if she comes to the house,
it's gonna be
her f*cking church.
We're gonna be her disciples
like her little
f*cking apostles.
No. We're gonna be
the ones that help her.
Isn't it good
that it helps us too?
I mean, we can pay off
the house with that money.
Everything in me
is telling me to run away.
To go and forget about her.
Then do what she did. Change.
It's not just about us.

-Oh, where are we going?
Oh, your room is upstairs
across from ours
in case you need anything.
I... I can't
get up them stairs.

it's arthritis.
We made it up for you.
Don't matter. I can't do it.
Well, what's in there?
Oh, that's the...
That is the baby's room.
BELINDA: Yeah.
That's the nursery.
Ain't it unsafe
to have a baby downstairs?
-BELINDA: Oh, well, I, uh...
-No.
Belinda...
Belinda put a lot of work
into that nursery.
BELINDA: Uh, Norman,
let's just talk about it
for a second.
I thought
that we wanted the baby
away from Wallace's room.
I thought that's why we put
the nursery in the front room.
I did, and I do.
But she has a point.
Isn't it dangerous
to keep a baby downstairs?
They don't care
about their poor crippled...
Oh, Jesus. Solange, please.
Did you hear
what he called me?
He never calls me mother.
Wouldn't it make you
feel terrible?
Look. Let's just do it.
I don't want her hearing us
talking about Wallace
or asking questions.
(SUSPENSEFUL MUSIC PLAYING)
(OBJECT CLATTERING)
(NORMAN GROANS)
He never liked chores.
Hmm.
When Lawrence and I finished
our home, we knew.
Buy cheap. Buy twice.

Oh, my God.
Is this you, Solange?
(CHUCKLES)
Hard to believe, ain't it?
-Were you a model?
-And an actress.
At least
that's what I called myself.
I have no shame
in saying I was...
(COUGHS)
(COUGHS, SPUTTERS) I was...
(WHEEZING COUGH)
(SPUTTERING)
I was beautiful.
(SOLANGE LAUGHS)
I knew it.
Trouble is,
the photographer knew it too,
and he knew what all men know.
Hmm.
Stopped my ambition
right quick.
Well, then why did you keep it?
Do I seem like
the kind of woman
to run and hide from her past?
Hmm.
BELINDA: Hmm.
(PAPER RUSTLING)
-Who're they?
-BELINDA: Oh, from my work.
The one in the middle
could be Inanna,
but no one knows.
Didn't Norman say
they fired you?
No, I quit.
-It was my choice.
-Well...
my work is in the Spirit,
Belind-er.
And the Bible says,
we are the house
that the Spirit lives in.
I know how to make it right.
NORMAN: All done.
(SUSPENSEFUL MUSIC PLAYING)

a room for a baby.
Well, yeah.
We still have to move
a couple things around,
but your bed's in there,

(CANE THWACKS)

(SPUTTERS) That's...
It's... It isn't yours.
But it's in my room,
Norman Gene.
Hmm.
What would you say
to my purchasing
new furniture for you?
Oh, Solange, that's not...
If this house
is to have a child,
it must be properly furnished.

I'm sure you won't be able
to resist my offer for long.

-What?
-Who will say Grace?
I would have thought
I taught you better.

we don't really do that here.
No. It's all right, Norman.
We should celebrate
everyone's faith.
(NORMAN SIGHS)
Oh, me.
Okay, um...
Well...
it's wonderful that we can be
together as a family.
And I'm most grateful
for our child
to have a grandmother
here at home.
In Jesus' name, amen.
Thank you. I really love you.
How do you like the ham?
Norman said
it's your favorite.
Salty.
-Why would you say that?
-It's the truth, ain't it?
Just because it's true doesn't
mean you have to say it.
-Wait. Is it salty?
-I won't lie.
-Maybe a bit.
-See? (CHUCKLES)
The Lord detests lying lips,
Norman Gene.
(SOLANGE GRUNTS)
I have realized I do not know
my granddaughter's name.
Oh, we're gonna name her Fern.
Fern?
Is that a plant you got
growing in there?
(LAUGHS) No.
Used to be parents understood
names gotta have power.
How about a family name?
Well, my mother's name
was Ger-trude.
(MIMICS PRONUNCIATION)
Ger-trude?
I thought you all were
supposed to have
more interesting names.
What is that supposed to mean?
I... I'm not trying
to be insulting.
No. I wanna know what...
what is a more
interesting name?
(CHUCKLES)
Your father,
what was his name?
Walter. But I didn't
know him really well.
Hmm, we call that
a broken family.
Solange,
would you please stop?
BELINDA: They were academics.
My dad did not leave.
He died after I was born.
I see. Mmm-hmm.
Thank you for educating me
and I apologize
for any offense,
but I am determined
to give that child
a proper name.

I tried to show her.
Solange, I told you,
it shouldn't be a surprise,
but, babe,
there's some amazing stuff.
Do you know the things
they were doing?
Well, Solange paid
to have the furniture...
-Wait. Did something happen?
-Yes. (BREATHES HEAVILY)
They were speaking in tongues
and f*cking touching me
and Laurie.
-Solange, is this true?
-Norman Gene!
You agreed if I would have
purchased the furniture...
-Yes.
-...my little circle
-could come here.
-No, don't...
What?
-You invited them?
-No. I didn't. I didn't.
Uh-oh,
you didn't tell Belind-er.

This is the table
Norman Gene and I ate at

What was it we always sung?
-Jesus Loves Me.

Lord, we pray

Lord, we ask you
to fill this house

Please. You're not my mother.
But we want the same things
for our family?
You and I are the same.
Stop saying that.
This is a Christian country
and He created us
all in one image.
Paul says
there is no difference
between the Jew
nor the Gentile.
(BELINDA SCOFFS)
Then what happened?
What's happening
to people like me?
I mean,
will your granddaughter
be treated equally
in this Christian country?
-If she's taught right.
-By what teachers?
-What textbooks?
-Oh!
Don't get me going on books
written by Yankee secularists
denying God!
I'm talking about textbooks
by white men
that prop up white Christian
colonialist history
and ignore who they've r*ped
and enslaved.
What are you going on about?
My father was from Haiti.
They don't know how to run
that country down there.
What? Holy sh*t! This woman.
-Have I offended you?
-You've offended me.
-Is that enough?
-Norman, you were right.

going on about?

He said that you wouldn't
approve of us.

something so cruel?
-My Norman would never say it.

Because you're a r*cist!

Ooh. See, Norman,
this is my point.
This is the Klan.
She is the f*cking Klan,

And you're an uppity Yankee.

No. She is going after me.
You are the one

Yes. Solange said
she had a daughter.

Norman is barely here

but I just feel like

You named

She has power over people.
