♪ Take it back… ♪

[Sharelle] Hello, Alexis.

Hello! How are you, Mrs. Glowing?

[Sharelle] I know. I know.
It was hard for me to get into clothes.

[Alexis] Really?

-I think it's a mind thing, though.
-Yeah, for sure.

[Sharelle] So this area
is called Central Avenue.

Also back then,
it was known as Harlem of the South.

There were over a hundred businesses here.

And these people worked hard
to get and build everything that they had.

It's things like this…
is the reason why Allure is here today.

Perry Harvey Park
celebrates Black excellence.

Our ancestors worked hard
for what they got, and built something.

It's always a place I visit
when I need motivation.

I've been going at you and Karla, and
it's like I gave you chance after chance.

When you had your showing
for Tennille, that was…

-I know.
-It was a hot mess.

Yeah, I agree.

The ladies talk to you, give you advice.

It's always excuse after excuse
after excuse.

-And I can't take it no more.
-Mmm-hmm.

And if you're not putting your all,
you can't be part of Allure.

Right now I do have a lot going on,
but, Sharelle, these are not excuses.

Please don't think that I'm making
an excuse for my performance with Ben.

I realize that was shitty.

It took me time to even
come forward and say anything,

but I finally got
the courage to mention it.

I literally mention it
and everybody's throwing it in my face

that I'm making excuses here and there.

But they were excuses, Alexis.

That's hurtful to me.

I don't think real estate
is your number-one priority right now.

It frustrates me.

It's hurtful to think that you don't
feel like I'm putting my all into this,

because I've busted my a*s…

[crying] …like, the past month.

I want to say I have really been trying,

and I'm not making excuses, Sharelle.

And it's so easy to assume something
when you don't know about a person.

It's easy to flaunt this,

"Oh, she's just a housewife.
She don't wanna be a real estate agent."

"Oh, she's this. She's that."
Because that's word of mouth.

It's tough love right now, but it's gonna
pay off in the long run, I promise you.

I really want you to go back and
focus on you and get yourself together,

because I know you can.

Maybe six months from now
I can bring you back under Allure,

but right now is not it.

Okay.

♪ It comes and goes
Comes and goes ♪

[upbeat music playing]

-♪ I'm only goin' up from here ♪
-[upbeat music continues]

[Colony] Tennille, where's Juawana?

Ooh!

[Rena laughing] Saw that eye roll
from across the room.

[upbeat music playing]

♪ And I'm only goin' up from here ♪

Sharelle, she has this baby.
She's back and forth to Miami.

Do y'all think she'll be able
to handle everything?

[Rena] We can juggle a lot,
but with a newborn,

really your attention is on the baby for,
you know, at least the first few months.

[Karla] At least the first six months.

He's not gonna leave Miami.
That's where he makes his money.

[Anne] And would you
travel with a newborn?

She's probably gonna move into a position
where she's more so present in Miami,

and we get stuck with Cruella.

Hello, ladies!

-[all] Speaking of!
-Wait, where are you coming from?

I was in Sharelle's office.

She gave you her office?

Not gave me, but--

Your desk didn't have enough space
for all the responsibilities?

No, it's just easier for some of
the paperwork and things I need access to,

and she is gonna come back.

The chain of command
here at Allure Realty is

Sharelle Rosado is the owner
and broker in charge.

Second is me, the office manager,

and I don't think
some ladies understand that.

I see you making some facial expressions.

Yeah, I am.

I think Colony respects my role,

but I think she may feel a little slighted
because she was here before me.

And I think she may have thought
she was Sharelle's second-in-command,

or her right-hand woman, if you will,

but then I came along, and things changed.

What, Tennille?

I just said… Mmm.

It's like, girl, can you, like,
have some pride about yourself?

That's not even your office.

This is why I call her "Messy Juawana,"

because she likes to power play
and make people jealous,

but nobody is jealous

that you're an elevated
personal assistant at this point.

Like, girl, enough.

What I think is best
for Sharelle right now

is planning for a baby shower
sooner rather than later.

[Karla] Yes.

Yes, we should!

-Yes, we should.
-Definitely.

And I think it will show her that,
you know, we're here for her.

I was thinking, for the guest list,
to keep it small, intimate.

Her closest friends, her family.

So, Juawana, with the baby,
with Chad being in Miami,

how often are we expecting
Sharelle to be here?

We haven't had those discussions. But,
you know, when you start something new,

you have to give a lot more of your time
to that space for a little while,

but she feels like
she's going to be able to balance it.

[Anne] My concern is access.

How much access do I have to her now?

When you get into business,
the hope is to grow,

so you're not gonna have the same time
that you had when you started a business.

I need to see how things are going.

The brokerage has to grow,
and I think that's fantastic.

But it may be something completely
different if Sharelle goes to Miami.

So don't waste your time… ♪

-[Colony] Isn't this nice, Sharelle?
-This is nice!

[Colony] This is beautiful.

I was able to connect with the developer.

This might be a good opportunity for us.

[Sharelle] Okay, Colony, look at you,
girl, taking the initiative.

[Colony] You know!

This home embodies luxury,
which is what we're all about at Allure.

So I'm showing her this home today
to hopefully impress her

and just to let her know my intentions are
to have a more elevated role at Allure,

and I have what it takes.

-This is very beautiful, Colony.
-Right?

[Sharelle] Oh, my goodness. It's huge.

-[Colony] Hi, guys!
-[Conrad] Hello!

-[Colony] Hey, Conrad!
-Hello, how are you doing?

-Pretty good. Hi, Jesse.
-Hey.

-This is my broker, Sharelle.
-Hi, nice to meet you.

-Nice to meet you.
-Hey, Sharelle.

-Hi, little guy!
-Say hi, Rome!

[both] He's so cute!

-[Conrad] Please come in.
-[Sharelle] Oh, my goodness.

This is gorgeous. So grand.

[upbeat music playing]

[Jesse] My company acquired this house.
We brought on Conrad to do all the work.

He's gutted this place from top to bottom.

-We've spared no expense, as you can see.
-[Sharelle] Yes.

[Jesse] We're extremely excited
to get you involved

'cause we would love the opportunity
for you to be able to list it.

Starting with the floor,
we have 24 by 48 Italian porcelain.

-Italian, yeah.
-[Conrad] It was imported.

All the lighting is LED
throughout the whole house.

I love the white.

-[Sharelle] Yes. Very clean. Mmm-hmm.
-[Colony] It's a clean, luxury look.

-[Conrad] We have six bathrooms.
-[Colony] Okay.

[Conrad] Five bedrooms.

And also, we have
a movie theater on the second floor.

[Sharelle] Oh, nice.

[upbeat music playing]

This is so beautiful. Oh, my goodness.

[Conrad] Custom wine rack.
It can hold 150 bottles of wine.

-This is gonna be a party house.
-[Colony] Right?

[Jesse] Sure is!

[Colony] Love this table.

Appreciate it.
We're going with the Kim K vibes.

[Colony] I love it!

[upbeat music continues]

In love already and I haven't even
finished looking at the home.

Oh, my goodness!

Here is the owner's suite.
Going out to the patio.

[Colony] I love it! Private access.

-Beautiful. Right?
-[Sharelle] Glass of wine.

-When I'm not pregnant.
-[all laughing]

Oh, my goodness,
Colony, you have to see this!

-Beautiful.
-Look at the bathroom!

-I love a standalone tub.
-[Sharelle] Yes!

It's a lot of rejuvenation
can go on in this shower!

-[Colony] Okay!
-[laughs] I love it, I love it, I love it.

Beautiful.

[Sharelle] Colony's gonna find

-the right client for this home.
-Absolutely.

[upbeat music playing]

-[Sharelle] This is beautiful!
-[Colony] It is.

-Let me get this for you. After you.
-[Colony] Well, thank you!

I don't think
this would be a hard sell at all.

[Sharelle] Girl, you get this?
Oh, my goodness.

[Colony] You know I'mma bring it home.

You are. Colony, that's one thing you do.

Well, I brought you here
because I wanted to show you…

Of course, let you meet the developers,

because I know we're trying to partner
with more developers in this area.

So you can see, you know,
your girl out here hustling.

-I see you getting it!
-Making it work.

-You are! The silent k*ller!
-You know.

I know you have a lot of things going on.
You're back and forth to Miami.

-You have a baby on the way now.
-I know.

I know that there's gonna be a lot of
things to be taken care of at the office.

And I'm just kinda seeing, you know…

-How do I fit in in that role?
-Right.

Are you gonna be considering
putting anybody in that position

to handle more of the office duties?

If so, this is me showing you that,
"Hey, you know…

whatever you need, I'm here."

Do you feel like you can take on that role
as being a producing successful agent

and still hold it down in the office?

Absolutely, Sharelle. I mean,
I'm already doing that right now.

Like, I'm already producing
and I'm already handling

the other duties that
I have around the office too.

You know, Sharelle, I'm your day one.

You know,
I was here when you started the company.

[Sharelle] Yeah.

I closed the first transaction
under a lawyer.

You did!

You saw me and you believed in me,
and I believe in Allure just as much.

I feel like it kind of just makes sense
for me to fit in that role.

I know that because
you and Juawana are so tight,

that you might consider her before me.

So I definitely wanted
to put that out there that

you can also count on me as well.

I feel like I get along
with all of the ladies.

I feel Juawana doesn't have that rapport
or relationship with all the other agents,

and it could be more of a conflict if
you were to put her in a role like that.

You are a great worker, Colony.

You're a great agent. You hold it down.

You're my day one.

You're doing a lot of things
without me asking you to do it,

and I'm very appreciative of that.

I just feel like I gotta look at
the bigger picture of everything.

I'm not saying no and I'm not saying yes,

but I have to take
a lot of things into consideration.

-Hey, girl.
-Hey!

-How are you?
-Good, how are you, baby?

-[Alexis] Good. Thank you. You look cute.
-Thank you. So do you.

[Alexis] Ooh. Girl…

I need a drink.

-It's one of those days?
-One of those days.

-Start with a drink, see where we go.
-[Karla] Hi!

I was looking at the strawberry margarita.

[Alexis] Can I do a pineapple mojito?

-Yeah, sounds good.
-[both] Thank you.

You look like something happened.
Your face…

-Here you go. I got a pineapple mojito.
-[Alexis] Thank you.

-Strawberry margarita.
-[Karla] Thanks! Cheers, first of all.

-Yeah, cheers, first of all.
-Mmm.

-[Alexis] Well…
-So good.

So…

Sharelle…

let me go.

Wait, wait, wait. Hold on. What?

Yeah, girl.
She said that she feels like it's best

that I take some time,
you know, for myself.

You're not joking, are you serious?

-Girl, I wish I could say this is a prank.
-Are you serious?

I'm so serious.

Oh, my God.

I had no idea this was happening.

Like, now I'm shook.

Sharelle has made some threats,

but I never thought I'd see the day
that she actually went through with it.

I know you have to be just sick.

I didn't see that coming. I know
that I did terrible at that open house,

but I don't feel like
that was enough to say--

You think that's the reason why?

I do. People need to understand,
like, I made a mistake.

She's taking action like that, I mean,
what's going to happen with me?

-Karla…
-She can be calling me…

[both] Any minute.

It's very hurtful
that Sharelle's given up on me.

And that sucks, you know?

You don't want to work for somebody
who you feel like has given up on you.

[somber music playing]

So it's just a break?
Are you leaving Allure?

I feel like she doesn't want me
to be a part of her brokerage.

Is there anything you could
show her that you want this,

or are you okay with letting go?

I'm definitely not gonna let go.
You know I'm a fighter.

Real estate is really, truly what I want.

Yeah.

I know this is so off, but it just
came in my head for some reason.

Are you going to Colony's party,
by any chance?

-I don't know if I'm in a space right now.
-Yeah.

But I'm gonna think about it.

-Give me a hug, girl.
-Thank you, girl.

I appreciate it.

[laughing] Hey.
Those shoes are bringing me back, PTSD.

Yeah, these shoes k*ll me
every time I wear 'em.

Don't let it be hot outside,
'cause then they get foggy.

And then now I have corns now,
y'all, from the shoes.

When you have corns, what do you do?

-I don't know. I have 'em.
-I'm gonna get it surgically removed.

-[Anne] Oh, yes.
-You have to? That's the only way?

I don't think there's any other way.

[Anne] I feel like there has to be a laser
that exists out here that can zap it.

Oh, of course.

-You think so?
-[Karla] There has to be.

Guys, it's almost time for a meeting.
You wanna go to the table?

[Colony] Are y'all ready
for my all-white bikini party?

-[Rena] I'm getting there.
-Y'all gotta shop bikinis?

-[Tennille] No.
-I do.

[Tennille] 'Cause the delivery says
it's gonna come on your birthday.

-The day of your party.
-Better get a back-up.

Mine is supposed to be
delivered on Friday too.

Y'all are just last minute.

[Sharelle] Good morning, ladies!

-[all] Good morning!
-[Sharelle] How's everyone doing?

[all] Good!

All right, y'all. Time to get to business.

So as you can see,
Alexis is not here today.

We noticed.

Yeah. I had to let her go.

Really?

[Sharelle] Yes.

I'm at a point where I cannot
continue to speak on things.

I have to execute,
and it's all business moves from now on.

And if you're not producing to
the standard that I want you to produce,

then you can't be here.

I can't carry dead weight.

Wow. Serious.

[Sharelle] Very. If she decides,
maybe seven, eight months down the road,

that, you know,
she want to take real estate serious,

maybe I'll reconsider
bringing her back in.

[Tennille] Sharelle should have
let Alexis go sooner.

I mean, she hasn't been
performing for over a year.

And Sharelle leaving the door open
for Alexis is that soft side of her.

Like she fired her but didn't fire her.

She left the door open
so she could sleep at night.

But, really, I don't think it's open.

If it's open,
it's like a crack just to feel a breeze.

[Karla] Actually, after it happened,
she did call me.

So we went and met up,
and I talked to her.

She was very emotional. Very emotional.

-She's not feeling good right now.
-Wow.

Was she surprised or did she seem
like she was expecting it?

I mean, she understood
where I was coming from,

and she knew it wasn't
nothing, you know, personal.

This was the best decision.

Um, I have a lot of things going on
with me building on Allure,

and carrying this baby
for seven and a half more months.

I can't be a one-man team.

In order for a successful business
to grow and operate,

you have to bring on people. So…

I have decided that I am going to put

Juawana in a higher role.

She's going to take on
more responsibilities here at Allure.

[tense music playing]

[Sharelle] So basically
whatever Juawana says,

it's coming from me.

And I want you ladies to respect her
just like she was in this seat.

-[Tennille] Mmm.
-[Rena] Mmm.

[tense music continues]

Is this, like, now, immediately,
or when you

start feeling like you can't handle it?

What you saying? I can't handle this
because I'm putting other people--

No. I don't know why you…
Why did you say you put her in the role?

I said because I'm building Allure.

[Rena] Are you still
gonna be in the Tampa office?

Yeah, I'mma be back and forth.

-Between Miami and here?
-Mmm-hmm.

So is she managing the office
or just your assistant?

No, I'm the managing broker,

but she will be relaying messages,
doing roles,

doing everything that needs to be done.

In a bigger capacity
than what she's been doing?

Yes.

That doesn't mean that
I'm the broker in charge,

'cause I technically
don't have my broker's license.

I have no interest
in managing this office.

I mean, one, I'm already upset
about the commission split.

So I'm not trying to take on more
responsibilities I'm not getting paid for.

But I understand it needs to be filled.

And I think it's important
that the right person fill it.

Juawana, I don't know that her management
style is the best for what we need.

We're all grown adults here.

We don't need micromanaging.
We don't need hand-holding.

Colony may
be better suited for this position.

You said that you're expanding,
that you wanna bring in a team,

so you put Juawana in it, um…

but why just Juawana
in a certain position?

[Sharelle] She knows all the systems
and deals that we are doing.

She's in a lot of the office calls
when I'm scheduling meetings with people.

She take initiative to do those things.

A lot of the deals that we have,
you wasn't in on those calls,

so it doesn't make sense to bring you in.

[Colony] I wasn't, um…
put in on those calls.

[Sharelle] Right.
Because a lot of those calls,

Juawana actually took initiative,

and she set those calls up.

Hmm.

Very interesting, Sharelle, but okay.

Is there a problem, Colony?

-Do we need to--
-We'll talk.

[Sharelle] At the end of the day,
I want Colony to know that she plays

a major role with Allure.

But when it comes to leadership,
I need Juawana to take that role.

Colony, if you want to get on my calendar,
you can. Other than that…

Make some money, ladies.

[Anne] Hello, micromanagement.

-[Juawana] Colony.
-Mmm-hmm?

Would you like me to make an appointment
on Sharelle's calendar for you?

And this is why
I say that you're messy, Juawana.

No, I have Sharelle's phone number.

I can call her
when I need to speak to her.

-But thank you.
-Okay. You're welcome.

[Juawana] I'm gonna go to my desk.

Girl, she just tried you. Mmm.

Tennille's a*s…
I know her a*s be up to no good.

Tennille's talking about,
"We going to a brunch."

She don't know luxury brunches unless
I tell her about the damn luxury brunches.

Talking about a luxury, exclusive brunch.
I knew she was lying.

-[Rena] Tennille!
-[Juawana] Thank you!

Attention, ladies!

[Juawana] I just wanted
to thank you ladies for coming.

Sharelle, we wanted
to let you know how much we love you.

We know you're expecting

and we just wanted to
do something really special for you.

I'm very grateful for this,
but why so early?

You might leave and go to Miami.
We never know where you are.

We was like,
"Let's catch her before she leaves."

-[Juawana] Yes!
-[Anne] Yes! Absolutely!

But, wait, where's Alexis?

I spoke with Alexis earlier.

She's just gonna take time for herself,
so she's here in spirit. She sent a gift.

Tell her I called her to check on her.
She can answer my phone calls.

I will.

No hard feelings over here.

Think I'm gonna go get another mimosa.

Thank you.

[Sharelle] Can I get an orange juice
with a splash of Sprite?

-Make it look like…
-A little fizz.

[Sharelle] Just a little razzle dazzle.

I did want to talk to you about
what happened at the last meeting.

I saw that you were getting frustrated.

I felt we were gonna be on the same page.

Then when you picked Juawana instead
of me, it was like, "Well, damn." Like…

-At least a heads up would've been nice.
-Right.

And I should've came
and spoke with you about that.

Yeah, I was completely,
like, caught off-guard.

Right.

I want you to know that I'm very grateful
for everything that you do at Allure.

I just want you to give
Juawana the same respect.

I feel like Juawana needs
to give me the same respect.

Like, she makes these little,
slick comments.

And I'm like, "None of that is necessary."

-Maybe she's not realizing she's doing it.
-She knows, Sharelle.

She knows exactly what she's doing.

-You know I'm a team player.
-You are.

So that was a little hurtful.

It is what it is, but we're good.

I'm not thrilled that
Juawana is in this position now.

However, I'm very appreciative
of Sharelle coming to me

and still making me feel valuable.

I'll give her a shot.

But if she f*ck it up,
that's on Sharelle.

Give me a hug, girl.

-You know I love you. Still my day one.
-I love you too. I know.

Hey!

What's up?

With, you know,
Sharelle potentially going to Miami,

I don't wanna be unhappy if things don't
go well when Juawana takes charge.

I completely understand that.
I'm with you on that.

I think when you had that conversation

with Colony and I about
always having a backup plan,

that resonated with me,
and I didn't have a backup plan.

So I think the next step for me
is to get my broker's license.

-Your broker's license?
-Yes.

-[Rena] DJ, I saw that.
-[Anne] Yeah.

[upbeat music continues]

So, ladies,
I had this amazing bartender create drinks

that are personalized
to your personalities.

So, I chose three adjectives to describe
each and every last one of you guys.

And she made up some specialty drinks!

-[Anne] Yes!
-[Karla] That's so cute!

[Rena] "Fiery, adventurous, lively."

-Look at you, Karla!
-Okay!

Can I get a, um… Anne-Sophie?

"Refined, elegant, classic."

-[Karla] Fancy.
-[Tennille] Fancy!

-[laughing]
-[indistinct chatter]

I just wanted
to pull you to the side a little bit.

Okay.

-[Anne] Can you hold this for me?
-Sure.

-You mean… This is for you.
-A little David Yurman!

I think this is your big year.

I'm just proud of the woman
that you've became.

-I'm proud of everything you're doing.
-Aw, Anne!

And I'm just
grateful to have you as a friend,

and I'm glad we made up!

Yes! I am too.

So this is a symbolic gift.

You are so sweet!

And it's actually your birthstone.

-My birthstone! It's the pearl! Aw, Anne!
-Yes! It's a pearl.

-It's so beautiful!
-Yes, you wanna--

[Colony] Put it on me!

-You just squeeze it.
-It is so pretty, Anne!

-Do you like it?
-Oh, my God, you are so sweet!

Well, I wanted, you know,
something special for your birthday,

something that you can hold on to
and remember the special year.

-You're gonna make me cry!
-Don't do it!

Thank you so much, Anne.

-This is beautiful. Oh, my God.
-You're welcome.

I'm gonna look at my wrist
and think of Anne.

Look, I wanted you to think of me, okay?

[Anne] If I were to start a brokerage,

Colony would definitely
be at the top of my list,

and she could be my right-hand woman.

[upbeat music playing]

Nice to meet you, Marcus.

-[Sharelle] The sun is about to set.
-[Colony] I know. Oh, my God.

Girl, I'm tearing these mocktails up.

You gonna fool everybody in here!

I'll tell the bartender,
"Can I get another mocktail?"

-They're like, "Damn, she can drink!"
-[both laughing]

I wanted to get you alone,
away from the ladies

to just kind of talk to you a little bit.

Me, Anne, and Karla
actually went boxing the other day.

Oh, y'all did?

Yeah, Karla kinda brought up
her conversation with Alexis, and…

basically was saying that
Alexis feels like you abandoned her.

You kind of just gave up on her
in a sense and just let her go.

She doesn't feel like
Sharelle is really on her side.

To be honest, we tried to help her out.

Yup.

"Abandon"? Why don't she take ownership?

-Right.
-No, it doesn't work like that.

You're still making excuses.

Between me and you,
the conversation that I had with her is,

I said, "If you change and you're
ready to be a top-producing agent,

I would welcome you back."

Now you want to f*cking blame me.

Alexis wants sympathy
from the other agents,

not taking accountability.

That's her f*cking problem.
She don't take accountability.

I'm over it.
If she come, I won't say anything.

I'm just done with it. I'm not gonna
reach out to her about this situation.

-It's whatever.
-Is she even coming today?

-Like, where is she at?
-I dunno.

I dunno. Maybe she feels some
type of way because it's awkward.

-I mean, I would feel awkward too.
-Yeah.

But this is your birthday.

I'm gonna act like
I didn't hear this conversation.

-Let's go back up.
-Let's have fun.

I wanted to tell you that
just so you know…

I know you be holding it down, Colony.

You hold it down for Allure.
You are my girl.

[Colony] Let's go enjoy this party!

Thank you all for being here!

You all look amazing!

Thank you for wearing all white!

And I just wanna do a toast!

[all cheering]

I want to toast to peace, love, happiness,
health, and most definitely wealth!

[all] Whoo!

[all screaming]

Drop the beat, DJ!

-[Alexis] Hi!

Happy birthday!

-Thank you!
-[Sharelle] Alexis showed up!

[Alexis] I decided to
come to Colony's birthday

because I definitely wanted to be there
to celebrate Colony and her 30th birthday.

Like, that's a huge milestone.
I don't care about Sharelle being there.

I'm here for Colony.

Well, hello, Alexis.

-Hello, Sharelle.
-How are you?

I'm good. How are you?

I would say I'm great but you know what,
Alexis? You know, I can't be fake.

I hope not. Please don't.

Colony, I told you
I wasn't gonna say anything,

but I feel like we're in
the right setting to say how I feel.

It was brought to my attention
that you felt like I gave up on you.

-I do.
-How?

I do, I feel like you gave up

before I could actually,
like, prove myself as a Realtor.

-But you been here for two years, Alexis.
-I know.

And you're placing the blame on me.

I gave y'all time after time after time
to get it together.

You can't just say that,
"Oh, you know, you gave up on me."

You're going through something,
someone has advice.

It's so much wisdom
right here to help you.

Like, this is my place of business.

I don't typically come in and think,

"Oh, let me just
broadcast what's going on in my home."

I'm very private.

I don't really come out and just express
what I'm thinking, what I'm feeling.

We all been through stuff.
So me telling you,

"Come to us about stuff," it's no mess.

We're all a family here.

Everybody at this office talks about how
Allure Realty, we're family, we're close.

We're this, we're that.

But I don't feel like I'm a part of the
Allure family right now. How could I be?

All these girls feel like
I'm the weakest link here.

That's just…
Hate to say it, but it's f*cked up.

Lex, we're all here to support you.

-Absolutely.
-I get it.

I didn't know,
and you put me in a position

where I had to make a boss move
and just let you go.

Sometimes tough love
is what it takes to help you improve.

Straight motivation.

[Tennille] You gotta
push the bird out the nest

-to see if they can fly.
-Oh, I can fly.

[Sharelle] If you feel like you improving,

you welcome to come back
if you get better.

But right now I feel you need to take time
on yourself and improve yourself.

[Alexis] I don't know
if I'm going to return to Allure.

Part of me feels like, do I want a broker
that's going to just give up on me?

Or do I come back and walk in like,
"b*tch, I'm back"?

I understand your decision. I don't agree.
I'm a little upset. I'm bothered by it.

But now I'm here.
That's in the past. That's behind me.

From here, I'll do my best

to be more vocal about my feelings
and the things that I want to say.

-Okay.
-Well, I wish you the best.

Thank you. I appreciate that.

[Sharelle] Tough love is still love.

I don't know where I'm gonna be
when I have this baby,

but this crew right here,

they gonna hold it down and
they gonna take care of business.

There's no other group of ladies
that I'd want to share this journey with

than the ladies of Allure.

Point blank, period.

Let's go have some fun, ladies!
Let's go have some fun!

It's the birthday girl!
