-Have your IDs ready.
-[people chattering indistinctly]

Once you're registered,
you'll be divided into cohorts

and assigned a Hillman helper.

And yes, cohorts are already established,
so don't get creative.

I swear, I just had my ID.

Um…

Oh, I think this is yours, Debra?

[sighs] Thank you.

God, yo, you saved my life. Here you go.

Also, it's Deborah. [laughs]

Oh, okay. Three syllables.
Beyoncé. We get it. [chuckles]

Here's two. Amir.

-What's up?
-Nice to meet you. [clicks fingers]

-Thank you so much.
-[Amir] Hi, it's me again. Yeah.

{\an8}Why would I trek from the 212
to the 804 if I wasn't enrolled?

I would expect a different type
of institution to play in my face.

[scoffs]

Uh, I'm sorry--
I'm sorry to interrupt, Ms. Perkins,

but anyone who loves Auntie Mary J.
the way you do, understands hardship

and the need for community support

in this dancery.

Okay? I know you like that one.

So maybe we could check again
for my friend?

-Please.
-But only because I want no more drama.

-Get it?
-[Amir chuckling sarcastically]

It looks like there was an error
due to your past deferment.

-You are enrolled.
-Okay.

But you don't have
a housing assignment yet. Shortage.

Okay, see?

-This is really starting to feel r*cist.
-[man] Miss Wayne?

Room 2412, Miss Wayne.

-[Deborah] That's me.
-[Amir] Okay, Miss Thing…

-Ooh, sorry about that.
-[Deborah] Ooh, excuse me. Wait, wait.

We weren't supposed
to prepare anything, right?

Oh, I just made this little binder
about myself, but you should be fine.

Migrations of the Diaspora at 8 a.m.,

Baby, take it up
with your mama and your daddy.

See, the thing is,
I'm really supposed to be at Tisch.

You know, embarking on
a collaborative arts degree--

Then, baby, why are you here?

I think you have "face reality" issues.

According to your records,

-it was your actions as the reason…
-[Deborah sighs]

…NYU rescinded your acceptance.

Those alleged actions
were a horrific misstep.

A deeply, deeply
unfortunate error for me, right?

And I take full, full responsibility.

[Dr. Langhorne] Mm.

-But it wasn't my fault.
-You didn't get in anywhere else, did you?

[pensive music playing]

Oh, given the magnitude of the incident,

the academic board has mandated
that you maintain a 3.0 GPA

and that you not incur any further
disciplinary infraction this semester.

-Understood?
-Mm?

-Understood?
-Huh?

Yes, yes. A 3.0 right out the gate
is a little aggressive, no?

Can we land at 2.5? [chuckles]



Baby, let me tell you
like I told your mama. [chuckles]

You gotta learn how to relax,
relate, and release.

-Ooh, girl, I'm releasing, okay?
-Who's next?

Oh. Okay.

-Go on, baby.

two things.

[Shaquille] Ooh, looks like I made
the right decision, Pops.

All right, you and little Shaquille
need to chill out.

-Put an ice pack on it.
-[man] Whoo!

-It's gonna be fine.
-[man clapping]

Look who made it.

A week late.

They fine you for that in the NFL.

My bad for missing camp last week, Coach.

Yeah, we couldn't get him
out of that Nike sh**t.

That contract is as tight
as my fade was in 1987.

Wow, that's fantastic.

But when I played running back
for the 49ers,

nothing came before the game.

Well, if we're talking about priorities,
where's the red carpet?

Where's the step and repeat?

Shaquille, look, we are thrilled
to have you here, brother.

Get settled in. Two-a-days start tomorrow.

You got it, Coach. I'm there.

[Ron] Listen, I can make a few calls.

Michigan, Ohio State.
You're leaving a lot of cash on the table.

Pops, we talked about this already.

Look, I'm trailblazing by coming here.
Just give Hillman a chance.

-You see the ladies?
-[Ron] I gave Hillman a chance.

At least four, five years,
seven, maybe, of my life.

But you're a five-star recruit,
Hillman's first.

And you need to be treated like it.

Depends on who we're talking about.

Ah, let me find that you came to Hillman
'cause you knew I was coming here.

[kisses teeth] What?

-You saw my post.
-Boy, please.

I mean, my parents
have been pushing Hillman

since before they knew my name.

Just like my big brother and sister.

You know what? This, um…

This is a great school,
and I am going to make the best of it.

Prove to Dwayne and Whitley
that, you know, I can crush it.

Retire my party girl era

and enter my full studious season.

-I'm talking full rebrand.
-[Shaquille] Mm.

Yum. Well, maybe we can prove
our parents wrong together.

There is no "we"

-Okay.

Deborah and Rashida,
you two are roommates.

[Deborah] I thought
I was gonna have a single.

I have a roommate?

-Yes.
-[Rashida] Uh, that can't be right.

My roommate's name is Erin from the Bronx.
We DM'd and everything.

Rashida, my, uh, roommate. For now.

Look, no need to stay. Come on.

Well, I picked a lovely girl for you
named Kennedy.

She went to Kent. And she doesn't live
far from us in Connecticut.

You really chose a roommate for me?

What, first my classes, now this?

-Well…

I'm choosing my roommate,

and it's Rashida.

-Criminal justice.

A defender of rights, Mother.

Okay, well, I'm gonna go find Candace
and see if she's sorted this out.

[sighs] Yeah.

Hey, hey, Whitley. Whitley.

-Oh!
-Everybody gotta be from somewhere.

-Okay? It could be good for Deborah.

-That's Deborah, isn't it?
-[chuckles] Yeah.

This is all your fault,
impregnating me in my forties.

Oh, wait, wait, wait.
I didn't hear you saying nothin' about it

when we was making her. Huh?

You was all like…

[in high-pitched voice]
"Oh, baby, please."

"Glory, hallelujah, big daddy,
you sure do do me right."

You remember that? [chuckles]

-You're too easy on her.
-Oh, you were too hard on her.

-I put my foot down.
-You put--

What did Dr. Henry say?

-We're on the same team.
-We're on the same team. Okay?

We just have to trust her.

How come the first two were easy-breezy,
and this one's just trying to take me out?

'Cause that's Debo.

You better tuck your chain, Mrs. Wayne.

-[Whitley groans]
-[Dwayne laughing]

-Plus, we were a lot younger then.
-Yes.

And…

we weren't separated.

[gentle music playing]

We always made parenting a top priority.

Maybe that was the problem.

We just neglected us.

All right, let me finish helping with
Mr. Gaines's dedication for tomorrow.

And, um, we agreed to loosen the reins
on Deborah, give her some space.

So we gonna honor that, right?
Okay, there we go, team.

Over my dead body.

I heard that.

-Ma, the Black people here are different.
-[mom] What?

I mean, they have Chanel suits
and British accents and Lambos.

[mom] Mm.

The girl they have me rooming with,
she is so unserious. Uh…

Pretty sure her mama's a fed.

[mom] Baby, you're meeting new people.

That's a good thing.

Remember when I first met
your Auntie Carolyn?

I couldn't stand her big hat-wearing self.

But underneath that hat, lots of love.

You gonna meet your people, all right?
You gotta give it time, baby.

And try to loosen up a bit, you know?
Try to have some fun.

Okay.

I'll try.

Forget the dorm. Why are you here, bruv?

I heard with this NIL ting,
bigger schools mean bigger checks.

Well, everything ain't about money, y'all.

That's cute, man. Tell that to my parents.

They only let me come here
if I promised to study hard,

get a good job, and send money back
to help train up my siblings.

But I, nah, I came to Hillman for this.

Look, I'm just happy to be here.
The plot was rough at home.

Now look at me, sleeping on a couch

The financial aid office is saying
that Rashida lost one of her grants.

-What? Why?
-[Amir] Yo, are you seeing this?

Not because of last night?

-[all chattering]
-[boy 1] What is this?

[Davenport] Students.

-[boy 2] What we gonna do?
-Okay, everybody settle down. Settle down.

We've got about three more hours.
[chuckles] But I can make it four.

Uh, President Davenport,
something's going on.

Oh my God.

My friend just received an alert
that she lost one of her grants.

-[girl 1] Me too.
-[boy 3] Me too.

And I'm unhoused. Y'all heard that?

Miss Wayne. Miss Wayne,
now is not the place or time.

-You know better.
-[Deborah] Yes, but--

[Davenport] This is a convocation.
Listen very carefully.

I will not tolerate outbursts.

Yeah, but they worked hard to get here,
and they deserve answers.

-[boy 4] Yeah.
-Deborah, that's enough.

Everybody calm down, okay? Calm down.

Oh Lord, take me. Just strike me down.

-Nah, nah.
-[girl 2] Tell us something.

Where is the money?
What are you not telling us?

Where is the money?

[all] Where is the money?

-Where is the money?
-[Davenport] Listen, little girl.

-I don't have to explain myself to you.
-[all] Where is the money?

You haven't lived long enough
to demand anything from me.

Answers?

You want answers from me?
I don't have time for this bull--
