[Alexis] This Florida weather
is in full effect.

It's beautiful as always.

[Tennille] It's great to be back here
with a potential buyer.

So he's basically an investor?

-Yes.
-Okay.

Ben is a high-profile investor,

not only in Florida,
but in several different states.

Alexis better bring it today because
Ben is a very valued customer of mine.

[Alexis] I'm excited to meet him.

-Is he typically late, or…
-No. He said he's on his way.

-He's on his way. Good. Nice.
-He's pulling up. Great.

Because, you know,
I'm going to be doing a little traveling,

and I really need you
to take care of this client for me.

I will. You'll be surprised.

-Don't surprise me.
-No surprises. You'll be impressed.

-Just make me feel secure.
-You'll feel secure.

You know, I know how to work with people,

and everybody that I do work with,
they all have good things to say.

-I'll take good care of your clients.
-That's good.

-Yes. Don't worry.
-Just keep me updated.

[car approaching]

-Will do.
-I think I hear Ben.

-Is that--
-He usually drives something fast and…

-Ooh. I like fast. I like sexy.
-…small, and… A little money. You know.

[Alexis] Is this him?
Oh, this is him. Wow.

"Is this him?"

No, he some random person coming
to the house with a loud sports car.

-[Ben] How y'all doing?
-[both] Hi, how are you?

-[Ben] All right. Nice to see you.
-[Tennille] Same here.

-Hello. Alexis.
-Nice to meet you.

Nice to meet you.
What was your name again?

-Benjamin.
-Benjamin.

[Alexis] Okay. Nice to meet you.

-[upbeat music playing]
-[Alexis] All right.

Let's get this tour started.

Welcome in.

[Ben] It's nice. I like the wood inlay.

-It's very detailed.
-Very detailed.

[Alexis] Even though Ben
is Tennille's client,

Tennille better get ready
to split commission with me.

I'm not taking no for an answer,
and this time it has to be done,

and in writing.

She better run me my money.

-For the right price, furniture can come?
-[Alexis] The right price--

I don't think anything comes with the
house, 'cause she picked out every piece.

I do recall her saying that.

-[Tennille] This is a beautiful view.
-[Alexis] Beautiful view.

[Tennille] Don't miss this beautiful bar.

-[Alexis] Yes.
-Can you see the outside bar…

-The bar.
-…to the pool area?

And you can entertain other clients.

I like that it's right off of
the outside area and there's a door.

So you could go from the pool,
entertaining, come in, have a drink.

Very nice.

You'll never have to come in here
if you don't want.

It's a great entertainment space.

-But it can be homey too--
-They've made this home a home.

-[Tennille] It's not all just--
-Party, party, party.

[Ben] Right.

-The kitchen is suited for feeding many--
-Many people. Literally.

The green granite is beautiful,
custom, picked it out herself--

-What are some dishes you cook?
-I'm a steak guy.

So would you do a steak inside or outside?

It doesn't matter. As long as the steak's
cooked to the right temperature.

You have that option.

-Do inside or outside.
-Or hire someone.

Or hire. Right.

[Tennille] Follow me.

-[Alexis] After you.
-Watch your step, Alexis.

-[Russ] Rena.
-Russ. Hey.

-[Russ] Good to see you again
-Good to see you.

I'm glad I could sneak you in.
We've had a lot of interest lately.

I wanted to show my coworker the space,
let her see it.

-Get her thoughts.
-Wow, great.

-Is she coming now? Oh, okay.
-She is. She'll be here soon.

She should be here very shortly.

-But I'm concerned to hear that there's…
-Interest?

…that much interest in the space, really.

It is beautiful and
it's in a great location. There she is.

-[Russ] Hello.
-How's it going?

[Russ] I can see she rolls with you.
Hello.

-I'm Russ. Nice to meet you.
-Anne, Russ. Russ, Anne.

Love it. Let's hope it
has enough character for Rena.

-Ooh, I like that. It does have character.
-She knows me well.

-[both laugh]
-Okay. Let me get the door.

[Rena] Thank you.

-[Russ] Excellent lobby space.
-It's beautiful.

[Rena] Isn't it gorgeous?

Our first office space is 250 square feet.

-[Anne] Oh, wow!
-Right? Right?

-This is beautiful.
-Look at this.

-Yes, with the added skylight detail.
-It's gorgeous.

Two-of-a-kind. There's two in here.
I could see you in here.

Mmm-hmm. You can't beat this light.

-[Rena] It gives it soul and character.
-It does. It makes it different.

Rena has a background of real estate law,

and I have a background
of real estate accounting.

When you put those two brains together,

you have magic.

-I'd like to talk with Anne.
-By all means. I'll be out here.

-Thank you, Russ.
-Yep.

So are you gonna pull the trigger or what?
What are you thinking?

Career-wise,
five, ten years down the road,

I want to build a real estate empire.

I'm still working on
what exactly that means to me,

but I'm always keeping my options open.

I've talked to Andrikk about it,
and he supports me.

The fact that this office is, like,
really close to her old office

would really hit home for Colony.

I'm going to be loyal to my goals,
and be loyal to an idea, a mission…

-Right.
-But for me to be loyal to…

I mean, I got a ring on
from the person I'm loyal to.

There's definitely been a little bit
of energy that I can feel coming from her,

but I was actually surprised as well.

If I were to die today,
I would be replaced tomorrow.

So with that being said,
I don't let anything stop my shine.

I hope I didn't make
a mistake in confiding to her…

The Colony I know
knows how to keep secrets,

but I also thought that
she'd be more open to this idea. So…

Well, I've been burned in the past by
being loyal to a company that I don't run,

and I won't make that mistake again.

Got a big ol' bag with no snacks.
Who does that?

As a matter of fact, some tea.

-[all exclaim]
-Juawana is actually showing a condo

in the same building
that I'm showing to my buyer.

-Condo wars!
-[Rena] Some competition.

-[all laugh]
-We have some competition going on.

-So mine is actually on the 21st floor.
-Okay.

Hers is way down on the fifth floor.

On the amenities level.

I need, like,
binoculars to see down there.

Aren't you and Alexis
working on something?

-Yes. We have a $11.1 million home.
-[Alexis] Yep.

It's beautiful.

Teamwork makes the dream work.

You have to bring your A game.

I think the property itself
sells itself, honestly.

[upbeat music playing]

♪ Yeah, I got game, game ♪

[Sharelle] I am so excited!

I can't wait to tell them the big news.

-[Juawana] Ooh!
-[laughing]

Once we close this deal,
if we get the chance…

-It's gonna be amazing.
-We're gonna close it.

Get ready to make some money, b*tches!

-[Juawana] Let's do it!
-[laughing]

[Sharelle] Good morning, ladies!

-[all] Good morning.
-[Sharelle] Hello! Don't y'all look good!

-Oh, Colony!
-Excuse me!

My grandmother has that shirt!

-Where you get it?
-Does she really?

I got it from the same place
your grandmother got yours from.

-Do we need to have a "who wore it best"?
-[Colony] We might need to have a battle.

[Sharelle] When you look this good,
you don't have to.

-That's fine. I'll walk for you, boo.
-[Sharelle] Sashay.

-You look good, baby.
-So do you.

-[Colony] Great minds think alike.
-Great minds do think alike.

[Colony] We're twinning.

All right, ladies,
we have a lot to talk about,

so let's get started with our meeting.

♪ This time we'll be takin' over
Like hey, y'all, hey, y'all ♪

What's going on in the pipeline?

[Rena] I'll start. I have four listings.

-[Anne] Nice.
-Give me some, girl. Yes.

That's what I'm talking about.

That's amazing. All right, Ms. Rock Star.

I wanna let y'all know,
Anne has been k*lling it, okay?

Anne think I'm always picking on her,

but I love you, Anne,
and I'm very proud of you.

Sharelle calling me a rock star

is what I think her attempt
at smoothing over

the past damages that she's done.

I mean, is that fair?

[Sharelle] Is there an issue?

[Anne] I think on my end,
I'd appreciate if, when we have meetings,

it was more private, like you and I,
and not you and I and Juawana.

That's understandable.
You know what, Anne? I didn't think.

So next time, if y'all don't want Juawana
in your business, just let me know.

So I apologize, Anne, for--

Apology maybe accepted.

[all laughing]

-All right, Ms. Karla.
-Yes.

Have you been keeping in contact
with Arturo, with what's going on?

So I have the buyer that's from
out of town. She's finally coming today.

Okay, yeah, that's good.

Karla should definitely be fighting
to prove herself at this point, because

Sharelle literally did her a favor
by putting her on this Arturo deal.

Does she even deserve this deal?

I probably would have
sold half his inventory by now.

-I want to say I am proud of you ladies.
-[Juawana] Wait, do I get to go?

-Oh, sh*t.
-[all laughing]

Jarelle.

-[Sharelle] Jarelle?
-[Rena] Jarelle. Juawana and Sharelle.

-[Karla] It's perfect.
-[Anne] I love that.

[all laughing]

Yes, in addition to
the administrative and office duties,

I have a client
that is looking at Bayshore.

You know, I have my buyer
looking in that same building as well.

I think yours is a little higher, right?

Higher price point.

Yeah. I have other deals.
I don't have to depend on one.

[all exclaiming]

Very shady.

Y'all think Juawana don't have deals?

I mean, I know she has deals, but I just…
she needs to pick a role.

Always in our business.

Oh.

I know there has been a lot of tension,
and I feel like

we all deserve a little reward.

So I took it upon myself

to book a trip for all of us
to go to Miami.

[all exclaim]

-Interesting.
-Okay.

I love Miami.

Take me to Miami, not on a pontoon ride.

[all laughing]

I like this.
You saved the good thing for last.

When we go down there,
we're going down there to take over.

We have this big client.

Their budget is over 10 million.

Melvin and Monique are the founders
of a successful organic hair company

called Mielle Organics.

I'm so happy to support and
have you guys as my realtor of choice.

[Sharelle] They could've
picked any real estate company,

but they did their research and
searched for a minority-owned company,

because at one point
they were at that place

where they just needed an opportunity.

The only thing is, you know,
we have two days to get this done.

What I don't want is to just
keep flying back and forth to Miami.

So no pressure, but, you know,
I know you guys got it.

[Sharelle] Finding a $10,000,000 home
in two days,

it's definitely gonna be a challenge,
but we're gonna k*ll it.

-[Colony] That's exciting.
-[Tennille] That's nice. Yeah.

[Colony] Miami got the money.

[Sharelle] Listen, y'all don't understand.

I think it will be
a great opportunity for us all,

get our name known out there
and take over the market.

This could be a big client for us.

If we win this deal over, this will be
the start of something great for Allure.

Miami takeover.

Let's get this money, honey!

[all] Yes!

[Tennille] Welcome to Miami!

[upbeat music playing]

-[Sharelle] How this look?
-[Juawana] No, not for you.

-Look like you're going to Mexico.
-No?

[both laughing]

-This will be cute for Rena.
-[exclaims]

-I should buy it for her.
-You should.

I should pick Karla's out, Tennille's out.

Anne-Sophie.

[both laughing]

-[Sharelle] I do have a surprise for you.
-Is it money?

-No, it's not money.
-Oh.

I need you to pick out
some nice wardrobes,

because

I'm setting you up on a date in Miami.

[both laugh]

-Sharelle, I don't know about that yet.
-Juawana, what's wrong with that?

It's not anything wrong with it.

It's just, I'm caught off guard about it.

-What kind of date? Where are we going?
-Y'all gonna go to dinner.

Just be cute.

I called a friend and I asked her,
"Hey, do you have any single friends?"

But what's the appropriate time frame?
You think it's time?

I mean, it's time.

Okay.

To be continued.

[upbeat music playing]

I feel like a boss.

What do you think about this?
Slim in the waist.

[both laughing]

-[sputters] Stop.
-[Juawana] It's plain, but it's cute.

What if I go like this?

[Juawana] Okay. I have a surprise for you.

[Sharelle] Let me see.

-[laughs]
-For my date that you set me up on.

You think he'll like this?

Where you come up with that?

You look like you stole something
out of Anne and Karla's closet.

Anne and Karla might get inspired.

-[Juawana] A belt gonna do it?
-Yes, girl.

[Juawana] A belt makes anything cute.

You look like… What's the Flintstones, uh…

-Betty?
-[both laugh]

-Betty? I would probably run a man off.
-It's cute with the belt, though.

I don't wanna go on this date.

["Haute Couture" by Empire !sis playing]

[Alexis] I found another home
for Tennille's client Ben.

She can't meet up with us today,

but I know this is gonna
be the perfect house for him.

[upbeat music playing]

[Alexis] Even though it's
Mediterranean on the outside,

it's very contemporary on the inside,

and that's exactly what he's looking for.

[Ben] Knock, knock.

-[Alexis] Hello.
-Hey.

-[Alexis] How are you?
-How you doing?

-[Alexis] Good! Nice to see you.
-Nice to see you again.

[Alexis] This home is actually
built around that tree.

[Ben] Oh.

-There's a lot of history.
-What's the name of it?

Tree of… of Life.

-[Ben] Okay.
-Yes.

-[Ben] How many bedrooms is there?
-There's eight bedrooms.

[Ben] How many baths?

I'm sorry,
there's ten bedrooms, eight baths.

Or, no, sorry.
There's eight bedrooms, ten baths.

[laughing]

Get this thing open.
These doors are kind of heavy.

At least get it started,
and we can go outside

and see this amazing pool and backyard.

Sorry, I've got to lift some weights here
while I pull this door back.

So let me get my workout on
while I open this heavy door.

-[Ben] Wow.
-Yes.

-[Ben] Now, this is nice.
-This is beautiful, isn't this?

-[Ben] This is the sh*t I'm talking about.
-This is… Right.

This is what makes it worth it.
This is stunning.

-[Ben] What river is this?
-This is the Dundee River.

Any idea, is there a maximum boat size
that you can have in here?

-I'd have to double check that for you--
-I'm excited to see the rest.

[Alexis] This has a very, like,
sexy, chic, romantic vibe.

I do want to welcome you
into this lovely closet.

-[Ben] Wow.
-There's just so much space in here.

Yes, there is.

Think about yourself being here,
think about your items.

I know I don't have all the information
that Ben is asking for,

but this house sells itself.

So this is our kitchen.
This is a huge kitchen.

Beautiful, big, a lot of space.
Do you know what the property taxes are?

I believe they were 6,000.

I'm not 100% for sure.

I'll check into that,
because I totally made up 6,000.

-Okay.
-Okay.

So, what else? Show me.

You were telling me
something about this tree.

[Alexis] Yes, it is…

very old.

Okay.

[sighs]

[Ben] I'm gonna have to think about it,
and I will reach back out to Tennille.

[Gina] I don't cook,
so it really doesn't matter to me,

but it's very pretty.

-Yes.
-It'll stay that way.

[Colony] Let's chat about the kitchen.

Over here, we have a custom Sub-Zero.

You also have a double convection oven.

-Okay.
-So for your daughters, they can be

baking a cake up here
and cooking a turkey down there.

-Never know, I might wanna get in here…
-You might wanna go chef it up, you know.

[Colony] Of course, I wanted
to save the best for last.

Just incredible.

-Right?
-Yeah.

It is nice. You've outdone yourself.

-Really nice.
-I know what you like.

We can have dinner,

write up the offer, and,
you know, talk about some more things.

Yeah? Some more things? Those views again?

The views again.

When people see me,
they may see just a pretty face,

but to be honest,
you have to be savvy on the market.

So if you don't have that,
I mean, you'll fail, literally.

-[laughing]
-[Jason] Let's do it.

What a beautiful view.

♪ Oh, it looks good from the top ♪

Love it. I like the fact
that you can see the whole Bayshore.

[Juawana] Mmm-hmm.

I like being close to the water,
as you know.

You and your wonderful husband, Bryan,
have been out. You've seen where I live.

How is Bryan, by the way?

-He's doing well.
-I saw him last week at the cigar lounge.

-You did?
-Yeah.

He was holding court like he usually does.

-Doesn't surprise me.
-Yeah.

I haven't told anyone about my divorce.

-Hey, how are you?

Good. Don't you look cute?

So you were upstairs?

I was.

I think it went well. He really likes it.

-Uh-huh.
-So we're gonna probably put an offer in.

Ooh! Some champagne for me?

-Girl…
-[laughing]

[Juawana] It's for show.

[Colony] I'm thinking you doing it big
in here for your clients, girl.

Let's check out the views.

-This is the moneymaker.
-Let's see this view.

[upbeat music playing]

[Colony] You know.

-What?
-It's not touching the 21st floor at all.

That's breathtaking. This is more,

"Let me hold my breath,"
but, you know, it's okay.

[Juawana] It feels like you're one with
the water, you feel more level with it.

[Colony] One with the water?

More like one with the parking lot.

I mean, come on.

Girl, my feet.

Oh, my God.
They are k*lling me in these shoes.

It costs to be cute.

You know, I had to put on
my nice outfit today.

I was showing a client
a $3.5 million condo.

That's true.

Do you think I got
a $2.2 million outfit on?

-Uh… might need a little work.
-Ooh!

-You still cute, though!
-[both laughing]

I love it.

So, what else is going on,
Ms. Office Manager?

Why you say that?

Because, you know, a lot of us are just
so unclear about what it is that you do.

I feel like
I can share with you what I do,

but it really has to come from Sharelle.

It's just like now you become
her right-hand man.

-And I don't know, I'm just--
-Woman.

Okay, right-hand woman,

and, you know, it's just,
I don't know. I feel a way.

I'm a direct person.

I mean, I care about people's feelings,

but when we have a goal in mind,
my job is to get there.

And if Sharelle tasked me
with doing something,

I'm not concerned about, "I may hurt
her feelings, or she may not like that."

You do rub people the wrong way,

and I think maybe
just being more conscious of that,

maybe having, you know,
friendships with everyone.

It's more like business.

-I don't just open up to everyone.
-Mmm-hmm.

I separate business from friendships.

That's my prerogative.

Hmm. I get it. I respect that. Um…

What I'm hearing is that you don't
want to be my friend, so that's fine.

We can keep it as a work relationship.

Okay, but I didn't quite say that,
but I hear you.

[Juawana] You still here?

-Ready to eat?
-[Tennille] I'm working on an offer.

Okay. Look at you.

I need to talk to you both.

Okay.

-It better be good.
-It's good.

-What, you broke up with somebody?
-No.

Let me tell you about Malibu Barbie.

Who is Malibu Barbie?

Alexis, the blond.

What? What is…

Where did "Malibu Barbie" come from?

-[Tennille] So…
-I like that.

I called Ben and said,
"Hey, how did it go?"

He said, "Horrible."

-I thought he was joking.
-He really said, "Horrible"?

I was like, "Are you serious?"
He's like, "Yes."

Like, she didn't know
anything about the house.

Like, just small basic stuff,
like the rooms and bathrooms,

she didn't know.

She didn't know any…
She couldn't reference anything?

-She just--
-Nothing.

She went to see the home with the
listing agent before she toured with him.

So she should have known
every spec about this house.

She's describing a house like this.

"You see the grass? It's green."

"The window through there.
You see the sky? It's blue."

-[Juawana laughing]
-She did not… Tennille.

"And the water, it's watery."

You're lying.

What in the elementary, Dr. Seuss,

Cat in the Hat
m*therf*cking tour is she giving him?

Cat in the Hat.
She gave him a Cat in the Hat tour?

How you gonna go and show a home
and you don't know a thing about the home?

Did he say, like, he was done? Like…

No, because he said he, you know,
understood that it wasn't me,

but I actually had
to show him the home again,

you know, beg for…
you know, apologize for her,

beg for forgiveness because
I don't want to mess up this deal,

potentially a huge deal
that we can have here.

He was like, "Don't send her
with any more of your clients

because you might not have
the relationship I have with you."

Did you talk to her?

No, I didn't, because every time you try
to give her a little bit of advice,

she cannot take constructive criticism.

Like, she just gets, like, very defensive,
and I don't have time for that.

And you know,
there's three things I don't play about…

calling me a b*tch,
my children, and my money,

and she done checked out two boxes.

When it comes to Alexis Williams,
I'm done, baby. I'm just done.

And that's sad.
Like, you sit here at this table.

I asked you, "Do you need help?"

"No, I'm good. I got it."

It's to a point where it's just…

[Tennille] She's been here longer than me.

She should be showing me
a few tips, me the ropes.

What are you thinking that
you're going to do about it?

I don't want
to have a part of this conversation.

'Cause if it was up to me,
