05x04 - Turn Down for What

Post by bunniefuu »

[CELL PHONE VIBRATING]

Yo. Yo. Yeah. I'm up.

I'm up. I'm up. I just overslept, so...

COOP, ON PHONE: Bro, we got a situation.

[EXHALES]

GRACE: One adventure
my life can do without.

- WOMAN: Oh, wow. Really?
- GRACE: Yes, really.

DIFFERENT WOMAN: So that's
how we're feeling today?

- That's exactly how we're feeling.
- That's not how you were feeling last night.

- "It's my night, my task."
- Ma?

[CHUCKLES]

Hey, who's got you cheesing so hard?

- Man, ain't nobody cheesing.
- Oh, come on.

I can see every tooth in your mouth.

Whoever it is, why don't
you bring her around?

- She's just a friend.
- OK.

Well, is this friend
coming to the wedding?

Oh, we are not at the
"plus-ones for a wedding" level.

OK. This is, like, a "friends
with benefits" situation.

No. I'm just enjoying my single life

- like you and JJ...
- All right.

Though I don't know
how single JJ's gonna be

when he finds that
girl with the pants suit

he saw kissing outside of
Jacob's the other night.

- Dude is obsessed.
- Yeah. Right.

Got to go help my mums. Later.

Pants suit?

DILLON: So why can't Cousin
Sheree sit next to Cousin Bradford?

They're still feuding from a spades
game at our last family reunion.

The centrepieces are done.

I will drop these off at the venue.

Thank you so much for helping out.

In between the move and
the wedding tomorrow,

- I just feel stretched all over the place.
- Oh, girl,

- save that for your wedding night.
- Ugh.

Anyway, your men of honour and I

are here to assist
with whatever you need.

SPENCER: Is that an M.O.H.
distress call I hear?

Spencer James reporting
for duty. What you need?

- What's up?
- The main thing is

to get the family gathering
out of the way tonight.

Then it's a quiet night at home.

That sounds like the
most boring night ever.

SPENCER: Ma, you're supposed to be going

all out with your last night of freedom.

- What's wrong with you?
- I'm good on all that.

I mean, if I wanted craziness,

I would have your Aunt
Reesha throw a party.

DENISE: Wow, Lareesha.

I have not seen your
little sister in forever.

- Is she coming?
- DILLON: South L.A. might as well be Mars,

as far as Aunt Reesha's concerned.

- It's not meant for her.
- GRACE: Look. Can we just focus

on the handful of family members

who's gonna be at the gathering tonight?

Huh. Ain't that a dub right there?

Hey, that was mine. Never mind.

This seems like a little
bit more than a handful.

Yeah. You're gonna have
to feed them all again

- tomorrow after the wedding.
- Ah, don't remind me.

Although it is nice to see how well

our families are getting along.

This is you and d'Angelo's moment.

Everybody's on their best behaviour.

Yeah.

- Mm.
- Making out with the house

full of people downstairs
feels so wrong and so hot.

Agreed, which is why we
should probably get down there.

Oh...

- [KNOCKS ON DOOR]
- OLIVIA: Hey, are you in there?

- No, no, no, no, no.
- Was that Liv?

Get up. Up. Get up, Jordan.

Come on. Come on. You're so slow.

OK. Coming.

[CLEARS THROAT]

- Hey.
- Hey. Why was your door locked?

It was? That's strange.

- Can you zip me, please?
- Yes. Yes.

Wait. Who are you getting all cute for?

Why can't I just look cute for me,

you know, and if it just so happens

that my ex is around, I guess,

to see how hot I still
am, then so be it.

Well, you're k*lling it.

Have you seen Jordan? He
should've been here by now.

You know, I'm sure he's around. Yeah.

Anyway, I'm gonna see
you downstairs in a sec.

I just have to finish my makeup.

OK. Good, because your
lipstick's a little smeared.

- OK. Thank you.
- Yeah.

See ya.

[EXHALES]

[LAUGHS]

When did you get so strong?

Sorry. I panicked.

You know, it's getting
a little ridiculous.

I mean, I'm literally
hiding in my own bathroom.

It's only a matter of time
until someone figures this out.

You know, apparently, JJ is obsessed

with figuring out who this pants
suit girl is from the other night.

Yeah. I guess drunk amnesia
was too good to last forever.

So why are we still hiding
this from our friends?

Because I want us to figure
out what this is before,

you know, drowning in the
judgmental opinions of the vortex.

Everything's kind of moving fast.

OK, so why don't we
just slow things down

until we figure this out?

Hold on.

Jordan Baker is
proposing we not have sex?

I don't know whether to
be impressed or insulted.

I just...

I don't want you to feel rushed, OK?

I know how I feel about you,

and I want you to be sure how you feel,

and we can figure out the exes
and the friends after that.

You know, I'm really liking

this new, mature version of you.

- Oh, OK. Yeah?
- Yeah. It's sexy.

OTIS: I started off with
wild-caught Florida gators.

See the dress is working.

- Yeah, not in the way I was hoping.
- Mm-hmm.

Oh, you know what? I will
be right back, Uncle Otis.

Why don't you tell
Layla about your shoes?

- Farm-raised gators.
- Wow.

- Hey...
- Hi.

- It's about time you showed up.
- Yeah. No. I'm sorry. I'm sorry.

Traffic was crazy getting
here, but I'm here, so...

OK. Whatever, weirdo.

Just make yourself useful,
see if anyone needs help, OK?

OK. OK.

Hey, how y'all doing? You good? OK.

CARTER: Oh, no, no, no, no,
no, no. Wait, wait, wait.

- No. Let me get that for you.
- No. I got it. Trust me.

Staying busy right now is a good thing.

I was just about to ask how
the future Mrs. Carter is doing.

I can't tell you how much I look
forward to crawling into my bed.

Oh, is that right?

Is that the only thing
you're looking forward to?

Of course not.

I'm also looking forward
to catching up on my shows.

Uh-uh. Come here. You're playing.

[LAUGHS] Oh, right.

I'm also looking forward to waking up

and marrying the love of my life.

- Mm...
- Mm mm...

- Good answer.
- Mm,

but first, I need to dump this
trash and get some fresh air.

[PEOPLE EXCLAIMING]

- [LAUGHS]
- I guess I'll check on this spades game

- that's gotten out of hand.
- That would be Sheree and Bradford.

- Your family.
- Yours, too.

All right, all right.

- Get her!
- Get her!

What? Wait. What? What?

- Family time's over.
- Let's go.

Wait. What? What y'all doing?

Just stop it. Stop.

[SHOUTS]

- Aah!
- Surprise!

- Lareesha?
- Hey.

Reesha? Wow. You're actually here.

My nephews, they reached out

and told me what a
horrible day it would be

if their favorite auntie
didn't show, so here I am,

and, by the way, it's now Reese,

just Reese... No
Lareesha, no Reesha, so...

Wow. Well, thank you
for coming to my rescue.

I am just glad that
the boys connected me

to your little friends
so that I could help

- make your little night real special.
- Say "little" one more time, hear?

Don't act like you
don't know me. Pop pop.

Oh, we're still doing the chk chk. OK.

LAURA: Well, we are just so
delighted that Reese could join us...

- I think.
- Well, would've been nice

if you could've joined us
for Spencer's graduation...

I know, but I had that
tech summit in Dubai.

- I sent him cash.
- Or Dillon's birthday...

Conference in Rome.

Come on. Did he like the
Yeezy's that I sent him?

Or our parents' final days.

Well, let's get the fun started, right?

We've set up a cute scavenger hunt

all around Crenshaw,

a naughty but fun "Amazing Race."

"The Amazing Grace."

Well, we're still
workshopping that title, but...

♪ We have a sign ♪

LAURA: Isaac, you ready to go?

ISAAC: Yes, ma'am.

LAURA: All right.

BILLY: Y'all sure you don't want
one of these Billy Baker specials?

PREACH: No. I'm good, bro.

Looks like Denise and Laura
have bridenapped Grace.

OK.

See, Laura was asking
me for some duct tape,

- so that makes sense.
- Y'all ain't gonna do no bachelor party?

Been there, done that
on my first marriage.

It's a young man's game.

Oh, y'all turnt up like that?

You saw the movie "Hangover," right?

That was like a Bible study

compared to my bachelor party,

but you been there, done that, right?

- Never.
- Preach.

Look. The cats that I used to run with

ain't really the
traditional marriage type.

Well, we need to do something for you.

Why should the ladies have all the fun?

Man, I'm'a chill, man.

I got a lot going on
with Amina's case...

That is exactly why you need
to come out with us, all right,

take all that stuff off your mind.

Look. Pull the car around.
I'll meet you out front.

Don't think about it.
Go. Let's do it. Go.

Hey, hey, hey, where
you running to, man?

Anywhere. Auntie Cynthia
won't leave me alone.

She keeps trying to pay me
a quarter to do the Dougie.

You know I haven't
done that since I was .

- Well, you better get your money.
- DILLON: A quarter? Not even a dollar.

Is everything OK?

Dillon's acting like he's
too good to dance for money.

The Dougie, not stripping.

Oh, she spotted me.

Thanks for letting
my mums and Mr. Carter

hold their rehearsal
dinner kick-back here.

It meant a lot to her.

You still gonna call him
Mr. Carter after tonight?

I haven't decided yet.

Daddy d'Angelo just don't sound right.

[LAUGHS]

Nice dress, by the way.

Oh, this old thing?

Everything looks new on you.

JJ: Hey, vortex meeting, kitchen, in .

- [CLEARS THROAT]
- PATIENCE: OK, so wait.

Mrs. Baker took you off
Preach and Amina's case?

Yes, and it's not fair, all right?

Just because I don't have
a law degree like Doofius

- does not mean I can't help.
- Oh, the dude's name is Doofius?

No. It's Darius, but focus.

- OK.
- Maybe this is Ms. Baker's way

of pushing me out of the firm.

Oh, no, cannot go off
the deep end right now.

Look. Mrs. Baker values everything
that you bring to the table.

I mean, she wouldn't give
you a sh*t if she didn't,

you know? You just got to trust her.

We'll see.

- What?
- Uh, nothing.

Nice pants.

Uh, vortex meeting in the kitchen.

Carry on.

- Yes?
- Wha...

- What was that?
- I don't know. That's your friend.

That's when I converted
to those Louisiana gators.

- Mm-hmm, mm-hmm.
- Got to. Yep.

- Hmm. Need a refill.
- Yes.

- Be right back.
- Yeah.

- Refill.
- Damn, you're cute.

- Excuse you!
- Yeah.

Dude, never touch a
black woman's hair, right?

- Even I know that.
- Uh-uh.

Vortex meeting going down now.

[SNICKERS]

Don't.

OLIVIA: All right.
What's all this about?

JJ: I'm calling this
meeting of the vortex

to announce my awesome idea
of blowing off this snoozefest

for an impromptu game night at chez moi.

- Ohh...
- No.

- What's wrong?
- Our game nights historically go off the rails.

SPENCER: I'm down for a game night.

I just got to be somewhere later.

- Whatever. I'm in.
- Yeah. Let's do it.

Finally, I get to be part of game night.

JJ: Yes. That's the energy.

PATTY MONROE:
♪ Get your body down real low ♪

- ♪ Get your body down real low... ♪
- Listen.

I really appreciate all of this,

but I have so much on my
plate for the wedding tomorrow.

Come on. Don't be a party pooper.

Come on. Loosen up. Learn
to relax and have some fun.

Problem is, the last time I decided
to "relax and have fun" with you,

I ended up paying grand in damages.

Well, if you had just listened
to me and turned when I said...

- Listen to you?
- DENISE: Doesn't matter. Doesn't matter.

I am here now, and we
gonna have some fun,

- cheap fun.
- I'm sure that's your specialty.

- Strike two.
- OK. Let's get to the first gift of the night.

You are definitely gonna need this.

And you have to put it on now

over your clothes, oh, along with this.

Ohh...

Looks like tonight's gonna be basic.

And you're definitely gonna need this.

Yes. I am.

JJ: OK, guys.

We're gonna play "Who's more
likely: The vortex edition."

We'll split into two teams.
One team has to figure out

which person on the opposing side

is more likely to do something.

- Sounds complicated.
- OLIVIA: And dangerous

considering our track
record with game nights.

Why can't we just play "Taboo"
like regular black kids?

[LAUGHTER]

- I mean, you close enough.
- Mm.

Well, it's way easier
than it sounds, right?

We'll right down prompts.

Uh, dude, hey, enough with your phone.

- You can pay attention to the rules.
- SPENCER: All right, man. All right, all right.

- Whatever.
- All right, everyone.

JJ: Pull a beer bottle cap.

Red dot is red team. Blue dot is blue.

Asher's on his recruiting trip,

- so the numbers will be uneven.
- I'm here. There's of us.

Sorry, dude. You're moderator.

Everyone get with your bottle cap group.

Spencer, Layla, Patience,
you're team blue.

Coop, Liv, and Jordan will be joining me

on the kickass red team,

the winning team, I might add.

- No. We're winning.
- Blue, Liv.

You guys are going down.

[LAUGHING AND CHATTERING]

Oh, wait a minute.

[LAUGHS] OK. That was fun.

Nobody whisper a word
about this to d'Angelo.

DENISE: Oh, girl, first rule
of the "Amazing Grace" club...

There is no "Amazing Grace" club.

- That's right.
- Wow. Sis, I applaud you

for giving love another try, but, whew,

it could not be me. I like
doing what I want when I want

and not having to answer to anybody.

You know, if you can't
find a man to stay with you

past hotel checkout time, just say that.

MAN: Excuse us, ladies.

GRACE: Uh, wait. Uh,
officers, we can explain.

Ladies, my gift has arrived.

I would like to introduce you to Law...

- GRACE: Oh, no.
- And Order.

LAURA: Oh.

DENISE: Now, who is ready
for some disorderly conduct?

- Me!
- Yeah! [LAUGHS]

DILLON: All right, all right,
all right, first prompts.

- Get it.
- Winning. Rr!

- Oh, OK. OK.
- All right.

Red team, who is most likely
to end up in the drunk t*nk?

OK, and, blue team,
your answers, please.

- Boom. Boom, just like that.
- Whoo!

LIL JON: ♪ Turn down for what? ♪

[DJ SNAKE'S "TURN
DOWN FOR WHAT" PLAYING]

Who is most likely to send a corny text?

- Oh, there you go. [LAUGHS]
- Oh, those ain't corny.

- There you go.
- Some of them are kind of cute.

- What?
- Hmm?

- Girl, what?
- In, like, a funny way.

LIL JON: ♪ Turn down for what ♪

Who is most likely to steal your girl?

- Oh...
- I wonder.

SPENCER: Shut up. Shut up.

- I think we all know.
- Ha ha ha.

- Whoo! Waah! Waah!
- Whoo!

- Whoo!
- Take it! Take it!

"Who is most likely
to have a threesome?"

Hey, hey, pass.

- That's nasty.
- Me?

SPENCER: Move on. Move on.

LIL JON: ♪ Fire up that
loud, another round of sh*ts ♪

LAURA: Whoo!

I've never seen an -pack before.

Should I feel bad with the guys at home?

- No.
- No.

There she goes being responsible.

LAURA: Grace, the guys are
fine. Billy just texted me.

They're having their own
wild and crazy night, so...

- OK?
- Mm.

Mm.

Mm mm mm.

Is there anything
better than a sweet cigar

with a hint of mocha and caramel?

A lap dance from strippers

- named Mocha and Caramel.
- [DING]

[LAUGHS] Touché.

- Hey!
- Whoo!

Look at this.

- See? They get it.
- Come on, man.

Strip club ain't going
nowhere. We will get there.

The good ones gonna be off work by then.

That's the graveyard shift.

Come on, Preach. We having fun.

- Come on. Let's take a selfie.
- OK.

BILLY: Everybody hold up
your stogies. Come on, grumpy.

- Say, "cheese."
- Cigars, baby. Cigars.

LAURA: Right?

You look heavenly.

LAURA: How about time for more gifts?

This one is from me and Denise.

- Yum yum.
[LAUGHS] - Mm-hmm.

Pour.

- Oh, my God, I love it.
- She got it.

- She got it.
- All y'all went half on that? You went half?

Sis, listen. Wait till you see my gift.

Drumroll, please.

Here you go.

[LAUGHS]

Uh...

Every woman should own an
elegant piece like that.

For what, to eat with Lady Bridgerton?

GRACE: Thank you,
Reesha... I mean Reese.

It's beautiful.

Uh...

I don't get it. Like, your
face lit up at a plastic toy,

but you barely cracked a smile
at a very expensive necklace.

That's because the truck
means something to Grace

because it's a throwback
to our first girls night out

when Grace was hanging
out of the window drunk.

I'm sorry. My sister hanging
out of a window drinking?

LAURA: Oh, you don't even
know this version of Grace.

And that was also the night
that d'Angelo sh*t his sh*t,

so without that night, ladies,

we may not have a wedding tomorrow.

- No. It's true.
- You're right.

Oh, yeah. I guess I know
nothing about my own sister.

Gonna go on over to the "know
nothing about Grace" section here.

Hey, fellas. Yeah. Great. Cool.

You guys don't know Grace,
either, right? What's up?

DILLON: Moving on... OK, OK...
Who is most likely to go viral?

Easy.

- Ew. No.
- Come on. What?

- No one likes...
- Hey, you don't... watch this.

- You play football.
- No. Just watch this.

- No. OK.
- Your answer?

- OK. Do it.
- Bada big, bada boom.

- Oh, yeah.
- No. No, no, no, no.

Spencer plays games on national TV, OK?

OK, but he did not light up the Internet

serving looks at the
Millennium Gold Gala red carpet.

- Mm-hmm. I second that.
- No. No. That's...

that's not me, so...

- All right.
- All right.

- Come on, man. Next question.
- Come on.

- Ready, ready, ready.
- OK.

SPENCER: What we got? What we
got? What we got? What we got?

Who is most likely

- to show up early for work.
- PATIENCE: OK. Well,

who does not like her job, so it's her.

- Like... yeah.
- Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah.

- We have our answer.
- Ready.

DILLON: You got your
answer? All right. Red team,

who is most likely to
show up early for work?

- Oh...
- Liv.

DILLON: Wow. OK, and blue team, answer?

- Yeah. Easy. Easy.
- Ooh!

Come on, guys. That's a no-brainer.

I mean, Liv would give up
anything for that job, right?

- Yeah.
- Yeah.

OK. All right. Um,

next question is going to be,

"who is most likely to
have a random hookup?"

- JJ.
- JJ all day.

- Yeah. It's probably me.
- Yeah.

- JJ.
- OK. No. No.

We all know it's Spencer, all right?

He just hooked up with the
girl from the wedding store.

I mean, don't get more random than that.

You know what I mean?

What's up?

DILLON: Uh, I think it might
be time for a break, yeah?

- Yes. Does someone want to...
- Yeah. Let's just go, OK?

- No, no, no.
- Just go.

What was up with putting
me on blast like that?

Bro, my bad, all right? My
competitive edge kicked in.

It wasn't on purpose,
but you are single, right?

And we don't want everybody
up in my business, Coop.

Now I got to figure out
how to do damage control.

Thank you.

- It really did just slip out.
- It happens.

- He'll be fine.
- How about you, though?

I mean, I seen you face
when we talked about you

going viral in the red-carpet dress.

- You know that was a compliment, right?
- I do, but

that person at that gala wasn't me.

It looks like all you to
me, especially in that dress.

Um...

yeah. I'm gonna see you later, OK?

- Patience, wait.
- No. I'm tired. I'm tired, OK,

and I have to sing
tomorrow, so I just...

You guys, I'm gonna call it a night, OK?

You know what? I'll ride with you.

The party at ours is probably over.

[CAR HORN HONKS]

CARTER: I definitely miss the students,

but this government
paycheck and benefits,

ooh, whee...

More than makes up for it,

and you wouldn't believe my (K).

Yo, what happened to
the epic bachelor party?

Yo, we supposed to be getting lit,

not talking (K)s.

Like, we ain't that old.

Oh, I hate to break
it to you, brother...

Maybe y'all, but not me.

I still gets it in.

I mean, maybe not as much as I used to,

you know, because of my work schedule,

getting Amina back and forth to school,

and, of course, her
extracurricular activities...

Mm-hmm.

Plus I ain't really trying to be out

all up in them streets, anyway.

- [LAUGHS]
- Welcome to the club.

- Clink.
- [LAUGHS]

BILLY: Best take care, brother.

Well, that was our last stop.

I don't want it to be over.

I might have an idea.

Remember the time we
played "truth or dare"

and we stole a street sign?

Wait. I do.

It was at a sleepover
at the Washington twins',

and their mother got upset with us

because we used all
of her peroxide to...

- Dye our hair.
- Dye our hair.

- [LAUGHS]
- [LAUGHS]

Let's just steal the street sign,

one that means something to you.

I promise we won't get caught.

OK. Fine. Let's do it.

REESE: [LAUGHS] Let's do it.

Isaac, take us to First and Slauson.

- You got it.
- Should we be stopping this?

Oh, hell no.

This is the first time they've
actually acted like sisters.

Let's ride it out.

I know, but all my hair fell out.

What you doing out here?

Hey, man,

I'm sorry for putting your
business out there like that.

It's all good.

You're right. I am single.

So's Liv, and for whatever reason,

it's really hard grasping that.

I went through the same
thing with Patience.

I mean, just because
you're not with someone

doesn't mean you stop caring about them.

Even when you're trying to move on,

you still want to
protect their feelings.

[CHUCKLES]

But Liv didn't deserve
to find out like that.

Yeah, but that's on me.

Should've found out a way
to say something sooner.

I miss her, Coop.

I really miss her.

PREACH: Since lightning
don't strike twice,

how did you know that Grace was the one?

Have you met her?

She's smart. She's beautiful.

- Brother, I got this.
- Oh, I thought he was talking to me.

Oh, you're talking...
no. Yeah. Tell him.

Tell... yeah.

[CHUCKLES]

When my wife passed,

I didn't think I'd love
anyone like that again.

I just didn't think it was possible,

and then gorgeous Grace entered my life,

and she was a force of nature.

She just had this way of making you feel

like you were just
capable of doing anything.

In Grace, all the feelings
that I thought were dead

started to come alive again

like she just flipped a switch

right in my heart and
turned the power back on.

That's how I knew she was the one.

- What, y'all crying?
- No. I got... I got allergies.

I think this cigar smoke has been...

[WOMEN SCREAMING]

Yo, what is that?

Hey, hold up.

Is... is that Laura?

CARTER: And Grace.

Look, gentlemen.

I'm gonna let y'all handle that.

Wait. Hold up. You ain't bailing.

Yes, sir. I got to get
back to the boss kid,

and good luck with whatever that is.

- Yeah.
- I'll see y'all tomorrow.

All right, man.

[WOMEN SHOUTING AND LAUGHING]

No. Wait. They put bolts on these now?

DENISE: Not a problem.

REESE: Oh, you carry a drill around?

Oh, girl if you stay ready...

- You ain't got to get ready.
- You ain't got to get ready.

All right. Well, give me.

- I will shimmy up the pole.
- Wait. Ah, ah.

My night, my task.

- OK. Let's do it.
- Hey, muscles, help me up.

- Be careful with my sister.
- All right. You got this.

- Very precious cargo.
- You got it. You got it.

ALL: Whoo!

BILLY: All right, all
right, all right, all right.

All right. What's going on here?

- Baby...
- What?

Ladies, Officers, uh, Lareesha.

Hey, Billy. It's Reese now.

DENISE: Oh, girl, if you
don't give it a rest...

Your mama name you Lareesha,
we gonna call you Lareesha.

Baby, why are you climbing a stripper?

Oh, stealing the sign
is Reese's gift to me.

I also got her jewellery.
It was really expensive.

BILLY: I think we
should all wrap this up

before somebody gets hurt.

- Right. Help me, Reese.
- ♪ Hater ♪

- Yes, yes.
- Come on, guys. Right.

- Whoo!
- Whoo! Yes.

- [DRILL WHIRS]
- ALL: Whoo!

[SIREN]

[CHEERING]

[SIREN]

Please tell me those are more strippers.

You didn't have to leave the game night.

I can handle this by myself.

Oh, come on.

Least I can do is help
clean up. It was my family.

And soon-to-be stepfamily.

Have you decided what
you're gonna call him?

You know, maybe you
should go the JJ route

with Principal Daddy Carter.

- That was very funny.
- Thank you.

- I'll be here all week.
- [DING]

You know you can check your phone.

It's fine if it's her.

It's all good.

I guess I didn't realize you
were gonna move on quite so fast.

I haven't moved on.

So you're not dating anyone.

Not seriously.

Alicia is just a friend.

You know, you don't
owe me an explanation.

I'm sorry I brought this up.

I haven't moved on.

- Honestly, it doesn't matter.
- It does to me.

Oh...

[CELL PHONE VIBRATING]

Mm...

I'm up. I'm up. I'm up.
I just overslept, so...

- COOP, ON PHONE: Bro, we got a situation.
- Mm.

Your mum and the Bakers been arrested.

- Arrested?
- Yeah. You got to get down there.

I'm on my way.

Oh, is everything OK?

No, not even close,

so our parents are in jail,

and there's not a lot of
time before the wedding.

Wait. Do we need to
call it off or postpone?

No. No. No. This wedding
is happening today.

Oh, OK. Well, I'll come with you.

No. Look. Me and Coop got it.

I do need a favour from you.

Yeah. Whatever you need, I got you.

REESE: Oh, Gracie, come on.

Just relax, OK? It's
not like it's gonna go

- on your permanent record.
- Relax?

This is my wedding day, and
I'm in here because of you.

[LAUGHS] I mean, come on.

You telling me now
that it's illegal for me

to make sure that my
sister has a good time?

We're literally in
jail right now, so yes.

So what happened to "my night, my task"?

That was you, and I'm
sorry, but if you ask me,

your life could use a little adventure.

- Excuse me?
- BILLY: Gracie, Gracie,

why don't we just take a deep breath?

You disappear for years at a time.

You're never there for me and the boys,

and when you do blow into town,

you mess everything up.

Trust me, you're the one adventure

- my life can do without.
- Ma?

[CHUCKLES]

COOP: Man, just when you
thought you raised them right...

Mm mm mm. They're all ours, Officer,

except for Kenny G. down there.

- Aunt Reesha?
- There's my boy.

Hi. Oh, my gosh.

At least someone's happy I'm here.

- Don't ask. Don't ask.
- What time is it?

There's only one hour
before the wedding.

- I'm not gonna make it.
- We got you, all right?

Liv's gonna meet us at
the venue with your dress.

- OK.
- We're good. We got you.

- Thank you, baby.
- OK.

I know that dude from high school.

LAURA: Thank you so much for
rushing down here to sign us out.

You know me. Just trying
to be a asset to the firm.

I'm sure Darius would've
done the same thing.

Yo, hey. Hey, hey, hey, hey,
come on. Come on, right here.

- Finally.
- DILLON: I've been trying my best to stall.

I can only do the Dougie for so long.

Is Liv here with the dress?
We only got, like, minutes.

She's waiting for you in the
back, and I have your suit.

- Is Mum OK?
- Yes. I'm fine, baby. I...

Mama's just got a little...

- Headache.
- I know what a hangover looks like.

- Boy...
- [LAUGHS] Smarty pants.

Look at my boys

taking care of me on one of
the biggest days of my life.

I am so proud to be your mother,

- and I love you so much.
- OK. We love you, too, Ma,

and nobody deserves this next chapter

of happiness more than you.

Come on.

OK. All right.

- Let's go get you married. All right.
- OK.

- There you go, right here. There you go.
- OK.

Happiest day of your life.

We're gonna need more than minutes.

OK?

- OK. Hey.
- Well, hello.

- Talk about cutting it close...
- I know, man.

- You smell like cigars and...
- OK. Mind your business. Where's your sister?

She's in the back helping Miss Grace.

OK?

- All right.
- Oh, you look gorgeous. Oh, wow.

I hope that I look half as
beautiful as you on my...

Never mind.

Things are gonna work out
just as they are meant to be,

and the beauty of youth is,

you don't have to have everything
figured out right now, OK?

REESE: Knock knock.

Hey, mind if I take over?

I'm not rehashing the
past with you, Reese.

I have a whole new life
waiting for me out there

with a man who cherishes and adores me.

I know. I'm just trying
to make things right.

No. You're trying to ease your
guilt, and I'm not here for it.

Today is my special day.

Can you for once not make it about you?

LAURA: No. Carter is about
to remove Grace's garter

- and throw it to the guys.
- Right.

It's supposed to bring luck
in love to whoever catches it.

- You gonna do it?
- No, no, single cats only.

Besides, I can't be
luckier than I already am.

- That's right. Don't you forget it.
- I will not.

- You should go do it.
- No. I'm too G for that.

Oh, you're too G for love.

Boy, you better c-walk

Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh.

CARTER: OK. Single
ladies to the dance floor

- No. No. You better watch out with me

because I'm catching this bouquet.

Aw, sweetie, you do not want this smoke.

GRACE: OK, ladies. Here we go.

, ...

What you doing?

You have shown up for
me whenever I needed you,

even when I didn't know I needed you.

You deserve this more than anyone.

Girl, you're gonna make me ugly-cry,

and my future man might be up in here.

- Thank you.
- You're welcome.

[APPLAUSE]

Thank you.

SPENCER: If "love never
fails" was a couple,

it would be you guys.

You showed everybody
that it is never too late

to find your forever person

and that you can have a second sh*t

at a fairytale ending.

DILLON: Considering how
y'all met each other,

none of us would've guessed
that we'd end up here.

I mean, let be honest.
Mum came for your neck.

- I'm glad she did.
- DILLON: So are we.

Thank you for making our mum happy.

To the bride and groom.

- Cheers.
- Bride and groom.

- Bride and groom.
- Oh, wow.

Gosh, I do not know how I'll top that,

- but when I was ...
- Good, good, good. Do you mind if I...

If I can... if I can take over,

for those of you who
don't know who I am,

I'm Grace's sister
Reese... um, Lareesha.

SPENCER: Mum, Mum, hear her out.

[CLEARS THROAT]

Ever since I can remember,

Grace has been the strong
one in our family, heh,

the one who happily sacrifices herself,

takes care of others,
including her younger sister,

who, despite what you
see in front of you,

did not have herself
together growing up,

which is why I left. I moved away,

and I stayed away because

I didn't want to be another burden

that she had to take on,

but the problem with staying away

is that you miss out on
so many important moments.

They say memories last forever. Well,

so do regrets,

and not only do I regret

missing those moments with you.

I regret not being there
for you when you needed me...

[SNIVELS]

So here's to you finding a love

that you could count on,

so I wish you both a life
together built on precious memories

and zero regrets.

Cheers.

- That was nice.
- Cheers.

[APPLAUSE]

So beautiful, but when I was ,

I met this little girl...

PATIENCE:
♪ There goes my heart b*ating ♪

♪ 'Cause you are the reason ♪

♪ I'm losing my sleep ♪

♪ Please come back now ♪

♪ And there goes my mind racing ♪

♪ And you are the reason... ♪

Thanks for helping my
mum with her dress today.

It was her big day.

Why wouldn't I step in?

I don't know.

It kind of feels like something
a girlfriend would do, you know?

Ah.

Right.

We need to talk about
what happened between us?

I think we both know what that was...

Closure.

I guess so.

Now maybe we can continue the
process of letting each other go

without any hurt, "what ifs" between us.

Mm-hmm.

PATIENCE: The bride and the
groom now invite everyone

to the dance floor.

[THUY'S "PLAYING TRICKS" PLAYING]

Now, this isn't, like...

- This isn't weird, right?
- No. It's not weird.

Friends dance, and friends talk.

I mean, I had no idea
this career makeover

- was making you feel uncomfortable.
- Yeah. That's the thing.

I don't know how this is making
me feel. It's fine. I just...

got to trust Gia and Layla, so...

Well, if it makes you feel any better,

you ain't the only one
with imposter syndrome.

Now I'm working in a law office,

trying to be an attorney,
and I can't ever get into

GAU's pre-law program.

I just found out I got waitlisted.

I'm sorry, but, you
know, I believe in you.

You're no impostor,

and maybe there's, like,
a way around the waitlist.

Maybe you can audit
a class or something.

You know, that's actually a dope idea.

See? Because the regular
Patience knows things.

Yeah. Well, the regular
Patience always been dope,

and if she ever needs a
friendly ear, I'm here always.

THUY: ♪ On my heart again,

Wow. He really has no clue.

- Not a single one.
- Mm.

Um, I'm really glad we decided
to take our foot off the gas

and slow things down.

Yeah, you know, do
things the right way...

- Mm-hmm.
- And listen.

For the record, I truly don't care

what label we land on

as long as I get to hold you in my
arms like this every chance I get.

[LAUGHS] Whew.

- Oh...
- Ahh...

I feel like we might have

hit the gas instead of the brakes.

You know, I'm starting to think
that's not such a bad thing.

Now I want to be able to

dance in the arms of the guy
I have feelings for without

feeling like I'm doing something wrong.

- Wait, so does this mean...
- Yeah. I want to be together,

but I still don't want
to rush to tell everyone,

just want to protect this, you know,

keep it special between
us a little longer.

Oh, OK.

- Yeah?
- Yeah.

Pants suit.

MAN: Greg, move your head.
