Bigger (2019–2021): Season 2, Episode 10 - The Right and Wrong Time - full transcript
- Previously on "Bigger"...
- Debbi is five minutes out.
You know Deon.
[chuckles]
My boy, BFF.
He's just crashing here.
- Aaron and I are building
a future together.
- Tracey, viewers are creating
something messier.
- And I've given you messy
all season.
I know about you and Renee.
I am so stupid
for taking you back!
- The shop looks nice.
What exactly
do you have planned long-term?
- So I'm good. For real good,
which is a shocker,
because usually when something
big happens in my life,
good or bad, I just freak out.
[chuckles]
[sighs]
- Well, I hope therapy
is helping with that.
- It is.
It's the best decision
I could have made.
I mean, it sure is better
than overthinking everything
and then stressing myself
out like I normally would.
- Congrats on doing the work.
- Well, don't thank me.
Thank my mom and
the big pity check she gave me.
- You did some good work
over the last few weeks,
dealing with the influence
of your mom in your life,
be proud of that.
I do want
to get into Deon, though.
We haven't gotten
into the details.
- Details...
- You started this process
with me
when you got back with him,
so I know the end of the story,
but I don't know
how you got there,
and I'm curious
about what your friends think.
I know you were worried
about that.
- Well, they don't know
exactly.
- They still don't know?
- I mean, timing is everything,
and it was definitely
not the right time.
- Because?
- Men ain't shit.
- Yeah. Yeah. They're terrible.
- You give them your trust,
and then what they do?
Shit on it. It's cool.
Aaron gonna get his.
[chuckles]
Renee, she already
getting hers.
So my post went viral.
Yo, she is getting
properly dragged.
Let me read y'all my favorite
one 'cause they are--
"Renee is hot-ass garbage."
[laughs]
"Tracey should choke
that bitch out.
"Tracey Davis should trust
no hos around Aaron.
#TraceyCancelsRenee."
- Why is it the woman
who always gets attacked?
- Exactly.
- Good point, but I ain't got
time for sympathy right now.
[R&B music]
- Women want too much.
- Well, yeah.
[cell phone chimes,

- [groans]
She is blowing me
the fuck up right now.
♪ ♪
- Nigga, you tripping!
- She knows all my spots.
She's been a lot,
more than normal.
- And have you spoken
to Aaron or Renee?
- About? It ain't like
they gonna admit it.
I know all I need to know,
and I would think
you would be Team Fuck Men
after breaking up with Ken.
- It wasn't like that.
I mean, he just wanted
something else...
or someone else.
It's like he wanted
to date an idea, honestly.
Same shit,
different day with him.
- Smells like trash to me.
♪ ♪
Single ladies,
put your glass up.
♪ ♪
- Uh, uh-oh.
- I mean, after sitting shiva
with her, I was like,
"This girl is actually cooler
than I thought."
But then she just started
clamping down more after that,
when all I could do
was think about
how her 20-something-year-old
stepbrother
has done more in his short life
than I have in my whole life.
- Damn. Yeah, I hate everything
about funerals,
outside of fried chicken.
- They had that, too.
But, seriously...
I just...
I've been thinking
about life more, you know?
I mean, Shoshana is generous,
but I can't shine if I'm
getting all my shine from her.
I just got too comfortable...
with her and with life.
[billiard balls clack]
- I'm glad to hear you talk
like that, for real,
but don't be
so hard on yourself.
You still got DJing.
- But that's me playing
other people's music.
What am I creating?
What am I gonna leave behind?
- Huh.
- We should have listened
to Layne.
Girl, you was absolutely right.
Men clearly aren't
worth second chances.
- Apparently not.
- So what you wanted
to tell us?
- Yeah.
- So what did you want
to tell me?
- Um, nothing.
- Oh, nothing.
[hip-hop music]
♪ ♪
- I mean, it just felt
disrespectful,
you know, bringing up me
and Deon getting back together,
when our crew was caught up
in their own lives and drama.
- Sorry, girl,
I saw you had called,
but I've been running around
all day
getting ready
for this reunion show.
I'm planning on crushing souls,
so I got to be prepared.
- Oh, well, don't crush them
too hard.
[chuckles] Well, anyway,
I was calling because--
- What the fuck?
- What?
- I'm sorry, Layne.
Let me call you right back.
- ♪ Baby, I'll be honest ♪
- Cut.
- Mark that tape.
So we're getting a shot
of Renee at Aaron's airport.
- We scheduled her too close
to his flight
and they almost saw
each other, but we got it.
- Perfect, and she wasn't
suspicious?
- It was
an all-expenses-paid trip
to talk about her spin-off,
so not at all.
She was too distracted.
- I feel kind of bad
because we never really
give her a show.
On second thought,
she's annoying. I'm good.
- [sighs]
- Why, Boyle,
you know what this means?
- Well, something has got
to be wrong
if you sent the check back
and I have the money
in the bank.
- Mommy, use the purple
rubber band.
- [sighs] Okay, baby, give me
one second.
No, I did not put
a hold on it.
- Ow!
- Sorry. I'm sorry. I'm sorry.
[smooching] I'm sorry.
Y'all going to make me
pull my baby's hair out.
Let me go get
my deposit receipts,
'cause, oh, yes, I got
receipts.
Hmm. I'll be right back.
- Mm-hmm.

- [sighs] So I know
you've been running from me,

I think maybe I was, like,
starting to move
a little too fast,
with the studio and all,

of you supporting me
at my brother's shiva.
But I'm gonna give you
the space that you need
till you want to hang out
with Shosho again.
[giggles]
- Thanks for being
understanding, Shoshana.
- Yeah, of course.
[chuckles]
But I did get you
a little something.
So this is more
of a reasonable token
of my appreciation.
It's just
a little love bracelet.
[giggles]
Okay.
Okay, take your wrist.
Oh, my God,
your skin's so soft.
Okay.
So I'm just gonna pop it on.
And, see, it's locked.
[laughs]
And Shosho has the key
to your...
wrist.

- I'm sorry, Shoshana,
but this ain't gonna work.

- I can't believe
I didn't think of this
after the Billie jacket.
And in cities like LA, it is a
whole thing--reclaimed vintage.
Vintage pieces, reimagined.
- Very cool.
- Uh-huh.
And I can dedicate a section of
the store for the new pieces,
and it gives me a new way
to be creative,
and it also allows me
to have something new
to market the store.
- Boss lady, you know
I'm usually 'bout it,
but I've been holding down
the store for a very long time.
When we gonna get
some more help?
- Uh, soon, Lib.
Don't worry.
I'm worried.
I mean, I can shift
some money around
to cover a few new pieces
to start,

they force you
to see your own patterns...
and then make
different choices.
And speaking of patterns,
based on what you've told me,
I see a pattern
in keeping secrets about Deon.
Your family, your friends--
they're still unaware
of all that's happened.

And what about
an online store, too?
- You know what?
We'll talk about it, Lib.
- Oh, yum.
What's this?
- This is a delectable delight,
cheese on a cracker.
- [chuckles] Sounds good.
Thanks.
- There you go.
- Good to see you.
- You too.
- Thank you guys for coming.
- Of course.
- You came to support us, so we
definitely came to support you.
- Yes, darling.
You are family now.
I'm so proud of you
and all you kids, really.
Really.
- Thank you.
Aw.

Mom, you having a good time?
- Mm-hmm. I am.
- So these are just
a few early pieces.
I rushed some things
for the event,
but when I have the full line--
- I want to buy this.
It's lovely.

You know, I wish your father
were alive
to see the light
in your eyes right now.
I remember how you tried
to get me to see how talented
you were with fashion
and design.
I was so focused
on the success I saw for you,
I didn't want to hear it.
I don't know
when I got so fancy,
but I grew up broke, and me
and your dad struggled
when we first got married,
so maybe I just wanted things
to be easier for you.
Have a good career,
marry a well-to-do man,
but that doesn't
make things easy.
You being happy does--
whatever that means for you,
I guess I forgot what it feels
like to follow your heart.
I followed my heart
when I met your dad.
I wished I knew how short
our time would be together.
Maybe if it wasn't so short,
I wouldn't have forgotten.
- Oh, thanks, Mom.
- Oh, come here, baby.
[giggles]
[indistinct chatter]
- Okay, we're ready to go.
So, after Vince
starts the music,
Tracey will come out,
then Veronica,
and then we will finish
the night out
with the last model,
just like a real runway show.
- Ah! Ha!
You Naomi Campbell, nigga?
[laughter]
- Wait.
First, a toast.
This year has been crazy
for a whole lot of reasons,
but we have a lot to celebrate.
To Tracey for making hard
decisions that put you first,
which I can relate to.
To Deon for taking your first
steps towards entrepreneurship.
Mm-hmm.
And to Vince...
Mm-hmm.
To your talent
and to your renewed dream
that we had no idea about,
but we are happy
to support you in.
- Thank you, V.
- Mm-hmm, proud of you.
- Thank you.
- Yeah.
But tonight is not about us.
It's about Layne.
It's about rediscovering
your passion
and becoming
who you really want to be.
I'm working on that
right now, actually,
but you've actually done it.
Usually you're our glue,
but tonight
we are happy to be yours.
Congratulations, boo.
- Yeah!
- One thing--
to Layne and to Deon.
Here's to you two
living together
without killing each other...
or bumping nasties,
either of which would blow up
this friend group,
and we got a nice vibe
going on right now.
- Mm-hmm.
- You know what? Yeah.
Here's to y'all's keeping
y'all's nasties
as far as away from each other
as possible,
because y'all can't handle it.
[laughter, indistinct chatter]
- Look in each other's eyes
for good sex.
- But not y'all.
- Seven years.
- Y'all don't need to look
into each other's eyes.
[cheers and applause]
- Oh-ho! Wow!
Okay.
Uh, thank you all for coming.
This is a very special night
to introduce
a few sample pieces
from my upcoming line
that will be sold at the store
Something Borrowed,
Something New.
- Yes!
[cheers and applause]
- The models
are my best friends.
- Hey!
- [laughs]
And the music
you will hear tonight
is all original music
by my cousin Vince.
Give it up for Vince.
[cheers and applause]
Let's get it started!
Whoo!

So I...
I mean, we...
have something to say.
So 2020, wow.
[laughter]
It probably taught us
all a lot...
that life is precious...
and it's short,
and you don't know
how much time you have
with the people you love.
So it's important
to not let time pass
without seizing
the moments you have.
So...
- Uh...
We...
[chuckles]
Me and, um, all my friends
would really like
to take this moment
to say how lucky we are
to have Layne in our lives,
um, and how proud
we are of her success.
We love you, Layne.
[applause]
- We love you, Layne.
[applause continues]
- So right at that moment
is when he changed his mind?
- Yes, and it was devastating.
Like, he's leaving me
hanging, again.
[telephone ringing]
- It's already 3:00?
- [sighs]
- Hello?
Yes, send him in.
Right on time.
- Hey.
- Hey.
- Come on in.
Layne and I were just finishing
up our one-on-one session.
It's so good to meet you,
and welcome
to couple's therapy.
Excited?
- [chuckles]
- Absolutely.
- Well, let's jump right in.
I think the big question
at the table is,
when are you gonna tell
everyone that you are married?
