Family Reunion (2019–…): Season 5, Episode 1 - Episode #5.1 - full transcript
Ooh, Jeb, it's
smelling good out here!
Mm-hmm.
Yeah, Grandpa.
Can I, uh, get a taste?
It's for Skye.
Oh, that baby's too
young to eat meat.
But I'm not.
Mm. See? He wants some too.
Here. I can't believe
you're six months old.
Where did the time go?
Time flies quickly, Ami.
One day you're 25,
freshly married.
The next day, you got a
house full of grandchildren
and you're 42, like me.
Poor Shaka's missing out
on all this great food.
Do they have ribs
at boarding school?
Hey, he made his choice.
I mean, you accept a scholarship
to a school in Massachusetts,
and you got to give
up Southern barbecue.
Ciao, beautiful family.
Look at you!
Oh, sissy!
Oh, Amelia, honey, I missed you so much!
- Oh, you look so good!
- Yeah.
- And you lost weight!
- Well!
Hey, Maybelle.
- Hey.
- How was Italy?
Oh, molto bene.
Molto bene. Molto dee-do.
You're crazy.
You know, Tony and
I had a great time,
- but nothing beats home.
- Sure, you right.
Bacon!
Let me get my hands on
your cute little baby.
How's that man
doing? How you doing? How you doing?
I am just glad you made it back
for Skye's six-month party.
Me too.
Now, excuse me, you know
that's not a thing, right?
A six-month party?
It's our thing.
Go tell her, Ami. We
celebrate as much as we can.
Ooh, we are so blessed.
Only God knows what we went
through to get this boy here.
What are you talking
about, Amelia?
Oh, we tried to call you, but
we couldn't reach you in Italy.
Why? What happened?
Well, Cocoa was fine all the
way through her pregnancy
until delivery day.
Whoo, and then all
hell broke loose.
Good morning.
You guys look like you're
getting ready for the baby.
We sure are. Am I
folding these okay?
Beautifully. Which
makes me think
it's time you start
doing your own laundry.
Oh, man! Being helpful
always backfires.
That's why I'm lazy.
Well, you can't be lazy now.
Your brother's on his way.
My contractions have started.
Contractions? You're
two weeks early.
Oh my God. Okay. Well, we
need to go to the hospital.
Okay. Come on, guys.
Where are the keys?
Mom, alright, let's
go. I'm driving.
Calm down, Flo-Jo.
I'm the one that's having
the baby and I'm fine.
I guess he can't
wait to meet you.
Guys, I am taking
this seriously.
I filled in for Dad
when he couldn't make it
to a couple of your doctor's
appointments, so I'm ready to do my part.
And I appreciate that, sweetie.
But guys, I got this, okay?
This is my fifth baby.
Natural childbirth
for each of you.
I can deliver him
here if I wanted to.
Well, these floors are
pretty new. So, please don't.
We should call Dad.
I did. He and Grandpa were supposed to
come back from the game in Miami tomorrow,
but they're gonna
hop on a plane today.
Cocoa, baby, sit down.
Rest yourself.
You look like you about to pop.
I think I did.
My water just broke.
What? We have water!
- I'll get the hospital bag!
- I'll catch the baby!
Can you help me up?
I got the keys! Come on.
Let's go. I'll start the car!
- I don't want to go in the car with her.
- Don't worry, I'm driving.
She picked up a teething ring.
Mazzi, you're in charge.
You and Ami need to have
that furniture together
by the time we get back
here with this baby.
The keys aren't working!
Get on my back. Let's go!
- Go.
- M'Dear, get her coat.
What is taking them so long?
I have to get to my baby.
Finally. We need to get to
Columbus, Georgia, pronto.
Oh, well, let me see if I can find
the "pronto" button on my computer.
We already changed our tickets. We
need our new seat assignments, please.
Oh, okay, "please."
See, somebody knows
how to talk to people.
"Please" is in the dictionary
right before "pronto."
I'd prefer an
aisle seat, please.
Oh, well, bless your heart. Let me
see what I can do for you, zaddy.
And, uh, we wouldn't be mad
at a first class upgrade.
Okay, you know what? Now, you're
trying to take advantage of me.
You know, you get a better
traveling companion.
You know, someone who's sweet,
polite, and single.
As hard as you work, I'm sorry you
have to deal with something like that.
- Thank you so much. Oh no.
- Is that a good "oh no"?
Have you ever heard
a good "oh no"?
There's a storm headed this way.
And our flight leaves
before the storm hits…
Please?
Too little, too late. All of
today's fights are being canceled,
pronto.
Ma'am, please my wife
just went into labor.
Well, congratulations, but do
you really think she should be flying?
I mean, flight attendants
can't really deliver babies.
Although, I can, because
I'm a part-time midwife, so…
I didn't ask about
your side hustle.
Security? Yeah, we have
a belligerent passenger.
- Belligerent?
- At the gate.
- Seriously?
- I'm not gonna work with him. No.
- What?
- Bring it.
Calm down. We will
figure something out.
Dad, you don't understand.
I've… I've got to be there.
Cocoa and I sing a
song. I hold her hand.
We bring these kids
into the world together.
I've never let her down. And I'm
not going to start on the last baby.
All right. All right. All
right, we'll get there.
But let's be real.
You thought Shaka
was your last baby.
I don't know how
much longer I can take it!
Girl, if you don't get your
un-pregnant behind out of this bed…
I'm sorry. This is stressful.
Take a breath. Pull it together.
We're here, filling in
until your daddy gets here.
- Cocoa, are you okay?
- Yeah.
There is some pain, but I'm managing.
This isn't my first rodeo. I got this.
Well, is there
anything you need?
Uh, actually, Moz and I, we
have a little labor ritual
that started when Jade was born.
Oh.
We, um… We sing a song.
- It keeps me relaxed.
- What song?
Come on, M'Dear.
Oh, I don't know that song,
but it is catchy.
Sounds like something you'd say
if you drop a hammer on your foot.
Whoo!
Yeah, the singing and the
breathing, it really helps.
Ah, I feel more relaxed.
Hi, Mrs. McKellan.
I am Dr. Ryan.
I'm filling in for your OB, Dr. Lewis,
who's on vacation in Hawaii.
Nice to meet you. So, um, my
contractions are two minutes apart.
This is my fifth baby. So
it should be easy-peasy.
- Okay.
- Ow!
- Oh! Oh, ow! Ow!
- What's going on?
- Are you okay?
- I don't know.
- I don't know. Oh.
- Come on. Come on.
- Come this way.
- I've never had this kind of pain before.
- Okay.
- Oh.
Oh.
- Okay.
- I think I need an epidural.
I'm sorry, Mrs. McKellan, but
we have missed that window.
Then open it!
Break it with a stick if you
have to, but give me drugs!
Cocoa, you are going to be all right.
You're fine. I mean, you got this.
- Mom, I thought you said you were good?
- No, no, no, I was wrong. Ah!
Uh-oh. That thing's
going to fall apart.
What are you talking about?
Well, you left some
pieces here in the box.
No, I read the instructions
and everything.
Got ya!
Mazzi, what the heck? Look
at this mess you made!
Oh, calm down.
It's just a prank.
If you're so mad,
then get me back.
I don't have time for this. I'm
trying to get the baby's stuff ready.
You're so lame. I mean, Shaka
would've gotten me back good.
Hey, Uncle Daniel.
What's up, Mazzi?
I was on a date with
the lovely Angela here,
when M'Dear asked me to
come check on you. You good?
We're good.
M'Dear is still at the hospital.
They don't know how long they'll
be, but your mom is doing great.
Now, in case we have to stay
overnight, did you bring your PJs?
Boy, quit playing.
Hi, I'm Angela.
I'm Ami.
Wow, she's out of your league.
Angela, why don't you go and have
a seat, and I'll be right with you.
Mm-hmm.
Look, we used to date back in the
day and I messed up everything.
Wait. Is this the one you
cheated on with her cousin?
Yes, but in my defense, I
didn't know that was her cousin.
And she's giving
you a second chance?
Exactly.
She's the best woman I ever dated
and I'm not gonna blow it again.
So keep it cool in here
while I work my magic.
Okay, sure.
Uncle Daniel has magic?
Yeah, and I think he'll need it.
Sorry we had to leave before
you ordered. But you're in luck.
M'Dear's home cooking
is the best there is.
Oh, I remember.
You know, I have always
loved this house.
Ooh, M'Dear redid the kitchen?
Yeah, she sure did.
This will all be mine one day.
And maybe yours too if
you play your cards right.
Full house!
Ooh, I can't take
much more of this.
Hang in there. He's crowning.
Shut up!
You did it, Mrs.
McKellan. He's here.
It's a beautiful baby boy.
Oh, hallelujah!
Congratulations, Cocoa.
Ooh.
After all that, I am
never having a baby.
Mm, mission accomplished.
Still no service.
Damn it. What's going
on with my wife?
And when will you get
rid of that flip phone?
Calm down, son. Everything's
going to be all right.
Melly and Jade are
there with her.
Oh! Oh!
This is perfect!
Oh, come on, son.
Things are looking up for us.
I mean, we couldn't
get a flight,
couldn't get a rental, but we
got this bad boy right here.
You're right.
Found this ride for
800 dollars.
Isn't God good?
All the time.
A storm can't stop
a McKellan man.
We're going to see my baby, have
my baby, thanks to this hooptie.
Whoa, not a hooptie. Not a hooptie.
You're a chariot that will
deliver us to my beloved.
Come on. Don't do it. Don't
do... No, don't do this. Come on.
Come on, keep going.
God dog it.
Aw.
What are we gonna do now?
We're gonna find
another way home.
That sign says there's a bus
station at the next exit.
Let's get to walking.
The handle broke off.
You're gonna have to
climb out this side.
Aw, not the pants!
Not the pants!
He is just so precious.
Oh, oh, oh.
He's all wrinkly
and weird-looking,
like a turtle,
but I love him.
How are you doing, Cocoa?
Not good. I'm still
in a lot of pain.
Where?
Right below my ribs
and my lower back.
Excuse me, is there
anything you can do for her?
Oh, we already gave her Tylenol.
Well, it's not working.
My stomach really hurts.
Dr. Ryan, I think
she needs your help.
Her BP's risen to 180 over 110.
Is that bad?
Oh, it's too high,
isn't it, Dr. Ryan?
It's normal. She's
stressed from the labor.
Her BP will go down.
But she said she feels bad and
she's not looking too good.
She'll be fine.
How do you know that?
Because I've delivered
hundreds of babies.
But none in my family
and we do it differently.
We listen to the mama.
And if you won't, then I will
go find somebody that will.
Talking about hundreds of babies.
I ain't seen you deliver but one.
All right, y'all, keep it down. Now
don't make me come back in here.
Wine, my sweet?
It's right from the McKellan wine cellar.
- What's the vintage?
- Oh, 1985 mostly.
It has a little tap
water in it from 2022.
I need to keep it full so my
father don't know I been in it.
Same old Daniel.
No, I've changed!
In fact, I dress myself now.
I picked out this ensemble.
When will you
stop acting like a baby?
- Do you need to go in there?
- No. No, they'll work it out.
I'm sorry tonight
didn't go as planned,
but thank you for giving
me another chance.
I gotta let you know
the worst day of my life
was when you said,
"Goodbye, Daniel."
Well, it wasn't a great
day for me either.
I know I really screwed up,
messing around with your cousin.
No, I get it. We were kids
and my cousin was fast.
Well, but I've grown up, and, well,
I promise I won't let you down again.
- Yeah?
- Yeah.
- You're lucky you're cute.
- Oh, you think I'm cute?
- Well, you cute too.
- Aw.
Look at us, two cute people
having dinner together.
Hey, Ami. I'm putting
together this mobile.
Could you please pass
me the batteries?
Finally, you're helping. Snake!
Wait, no, no, no! No,
stop! Stop! Stop! Stop!
- Hey, what's going on?
- This is one of your dumb toys.
Not anymore, you
ruined it, stupid.
You're stupid.
Hey, whoa, whoa, whoa! Why y'all
yelling and throwing stuff?
Ami's being a little brat.
She can't take a joke.
Your jokes aren't funny, jerk.
I wish you would have gone away and
Shaka would have stayed.
Wow.
First of all, these
ain't my kids.
But they are my family and
something's off.
I can't believe I'm doing this, but
I need to speak with them privately.
Can I get a rain check?
You think a woman like me is
going to give out a rain check?
No, no, no, so stay.
Stay.
No. This is my
niece and my nephew,
I got to be here for them.
You got to go,
but I'm going to turn around
because I can't watch you leave.
Okay, Daniel.
Bye.
Come on. Why aren't
we moving yet?
Wow.
Oh, oh God.
Sir, can you please... Please
put your shoes back on?
Or let them air out?
Totally up to you.
Sorry. I'm married.
- Come on.
- Next up, Columbus, Georgia…
We'll be there in two hours.
…after we take a 30-minute
break to change drivers.
Come on!
It's a text from Jade.
There's something
wrong with Cocoa?
I'm calling an Uber. Let's go.
Now, Mazzi, you ready to tell
me what's been up with you?
- I don't know.
- You don't know?
I need a better answer to that
after I just sent home the
future Mrs. Uncle Daniel.
I'm sorry, okay?
Are we done?
Uh, well, based on that attitude,
we just getting started.
Now, Mazzi, what has
been going on with you?
Yeah.
Why have you been
acting so sus lately?
I don't know.
It's just ever since Shaka left
things have been really weird
around here without him.
You miss him, huh?
Yeah, of course I miss him.
He doesn't live here
anymore. It's just…
He left a few weeks ago and
he didn't ask how I felt.
I... I know. I know.
It was like that for me when
Moz went away to college.
There was nobody in this house I
could confide in or steal girls from.
You stole girls from Dad?
Oh, well, you know,
y'all go back in the day…
No, I'm lying.
I miss him too, Mazzi.
Shaka got an opportunity
to attend one of the best
boarding schools in the country.
Be happy for him.
Yeah, I am happy for
him. I'm just sad for me.
Well, why don't you call him? Hmm?
I'm sure he's missing you too.
I thought he'd be
busy with friends.
You're his brother. He always
will make time for you.
And so will Ami and I,
because that's what family does.
Right, Ami?
Yeah, of course.
I like hanging out with you,
but not when I got
my tool belt on.
Look,
you're about to have
a new baby brother.
So he and Ami need you to be
a responsible big brother.
And guess what? I know
you can handle it, right?
Yeah, you're right. I can.
So, Ami, can I help you do
anything else for the baby?
Why don't we take a break? I'll
play a video game with you.
Actually, I've
got a better game.
Let's see how fast we can
put this crib together.
Good. Now, while y'all do that,
I'm going to look around this house
for something to regift to Angela.
Thank you so much for
coming, Dr. Griffin.
I'm glad you found me in the hallway.
Cocoa has postpartum preeclampsia.
Is that serious?
Yes, but we can treat it. Start
the antihypertensive protocol.
I didn't realize
things were so dire.
My daughter-in-law kept telling
you something was wrong,
but you didn't listen.
We're gonna do the
very best we can.
She's in good hands.
Thank you so much,
Dr. Griffin, for stepping in.
Please, just help my Cocoa.
I'm telling you, we need
her. Her baby needs her.
I know, but Cocoa's at the age
where her chances for
complications are higher.
Dr. Ryan should have known that.
Sometimes doctors don't take
our health concerns seriously,
as if we don't really feel pain.
Dr. Griffin, her BP is still up.
Cocoa? Baby, I'm here.
What happened to y'all?
It's a long story,
but we made it.
Dr. Griffin, she's seizing.
Get her to the ICU, stat!
Oh, stay with us, baby.
- Jade, come here. It's okay. It's okay.
- Dad, what…
Oh, God.
Let us pray.
Dear God,
please keep your protective
arms around your child, Cocoa.
Help her to pull through
this with strength
and health.
Hey, y'all, Lord, you know what
to do. Oh, yes, you do, Lord.
Amen.
- Amen. Amen.
- Amen.
- Unbelievable!
- Mm-hmm.
So then what happened?
Well, things were looking really
bad for Cocoa, and then she...
Who wants ice cream?
Cocoa, hi baby! Oh!
To hear Amelia tell it, I
thought you died at the hospital.
Oh, I could have.
Come here, my baby.
Yeah, you know, Dr. Griffin said that
more Black women die giving birth
than anybody else.
You know, Mom, I'm just really
glad you weren't one of them.
I'm glad M'Dear was
there to be her advocate.
I was too weak to help myself.
That Dr. Ryan, she better be glad
I didn't crack her upside her head.
Messing with my family. Psst.
She didn't want
none of this smoke.
That's my Amelia.
Hey, y'all.
- Hey.
- Nephew!
Who's that?
Well, this…
- This is my girlfriend, Angela.
- Oh.
You still sweet on each other?
Yeah. He's a family
man and I like it.
Wow, you've never had a
relationship last this long.
My baby brother's growing up.
You know, I think we all have.
Yes, happy six-month birthday!
Yes, Skye.
Ooh, Skye!
I've been calling you
that for six months
and it still don't sit
right with me.
So how did you come up with
that name anyway, Cocoa?
Well, while I was lying in the bed at
the hospital looking out the window,
I thought the sky's the
limit for this child.
Nothing can stop my son.
So… Skye.
Oh, that's so sweet.
Oh, but you can change your name
when you get older, can't you?
Yes, you can. Yes, you can.
Diva out.
smelling good out here!
Mm-hmm.
Yeah, Grandpa.
Can I, uh, get a taste?
It's for Skye.
Oh, that baby's too
young to eat meat.
But I'm not.
Mm. See? He wants some too.
Here. I can't believe
you're six months old.
Where did the time go?
Time flies quickly, Ami.
One day you're 25,
freshly married.
The next day, you got a
house full of grandchildren
and you're 42, like me.
Poor Shaka's missing out

Look at you!
Oh, sissy!
Oh, Amelia, honey, I missed you so much!
- Oh, you look so good!
- Yeah.
- And you lost weight!
- Well!
Hey, Maybelle.
- Hey.
- How was Italy?
Oh, molto bene.
Molto bene. Molto dee-do.

A six-month party?
It's our thing.
Go tell her, Ami. We

Ooh, we are so blessed.

that started when Jade was born.
Oh.
We, um… We sing a song.
- It keeps me relaxed.
- What song?
Come on, M'Dear.
Oh, I don't know that song,
but it is catchy.
Sounds like something you'd say
if you drop a hammer on your foot.
Whoo!
Yeah, the singing and the
breathing, it really helps.
Ah, I feel more relaxed.
Hi, Mrs. McKellan.
I am Dr. Ryan.
I'm filling in for your OB, Dr. Lewis,
who's on vacation in Hawaii.
Nice to meet you. So, um, my
contractions are two minutes apart.
This is my fifth baby. So
it should be easy-peasy.
- Okay.
- Ow!
- Oh! Oh, ow! Ow!
- What's going on?
- Are you okay?
- I don't know.
- I don't know. Oh.
- Come on. Come on.
- Come this way.
- I've never had this kind of pain before.
- Okay.
- Oh.
Oh.
- Okay.
- I think I need an epidural.
I'm sorry, Mrs. McKellan, but
we have missed that window.
Then open it!
Break it with a stick if you
have to, but give me drugs!
Cocoa, you are going to be all right.
You're fine. I mean, you got this.
- Mom, I thought you said you were good?
- No, no, no, I was wrong. Ah!
Uh-oh. That thing's
going to fall apart.
What are you talking about?
Well, you left some
pieces here in the box.
No, I read the instructions
and everything.
Got ya!
Mazzi, what the heck? Look
at this mess you made!
Oh, calm down.
It's just a prank.
If you're so mad,
then get me back.
I don't have time for this. I'm
trying to get the baby's stuff ready.
You're so lame. I mean, Shaka
would've gotten me back good.
Hey, Uncle Daniel.
What's up, Mazzi?
I was on a date with
the lovely Angela here,
when M'Dear asked me to
come check on you. You good?
We're good.
M'Dear is still at the hospital.
They don't know how long they'll
be, but your mom is doing great.
Now, in case we have to stay
overnight, did you bring your PJs?
Boy, quit playing.
Hi, I'm Angela.
I'm Ami.
Wow, she's out of your league.
Angela, why don't you go and have
a seat, and I'll be right with you.
Mm-hmm.
Look, we used to date back in the
day and I messed up everything.
Wait. Is this the one you
cheated on with her cousin?
Yes, but in my defense, I
didn't know that was her cousin.
And she's giving
you a second chance?
Exactly.
She's the best woman I ever dated
and I'm not gonna blow it again.
So keep it cool in here
while I work my magic.
Okay, sure.
Uncle Daniel has magic?
Yeah, and I think he'll need it.
Sorry we had to leave before
you ordered. But you're in luck.
M'Dear's home cooking
is the best there is.
Oh, I remember.
You know, I have always
loved this house.
Ooh, M'Dear redid the kitchen?
Yeah, she sure did.
This will all be mine one day.
And maybe yours too if
you play your cards right.
Full house!
Ooh, I can't take
much more of this.
Hang in there. He's crowning.
Shut up!
You did it, Mrs.
McKellan. He's here.
It's a beautiful baby boy.
Oh, hallelujah!
Congratulations, Cocoa.
Ooh.
After all that, I am
never having a baby.
Mm, mission accomplished.
Still no service.
Damn it. What's going
on with my wife?
And when will you get
rid of that flip phone?
Calm down, son. Everything's
going to be all right.
Melly and Jade are
there with her.
Oh! Oh!
This is perfect!
Oh, come on, son.
Things are looking up for us.
I mean, we couldn't
get a flight,
couldn't get a rental, but we
got this bad boy right here.
You're right.
Found this ride for
800 dollars.
Isn't God good?
All the time.
A storm can't stop
a McKellan man.
We're going to see my baby, have
my baby, thanks to this hooptie.
Whoa, not a hooptie. Not a hooptie.
You're a chariot that will
deliver us to my beloved.
Come on. Don't do it. Don't
do... No, don't do this. Come on.
Come on, keep going.
God dog it.
Aw.
What are we gonna do now?
We're gonna find
another way home.
That sign says there's a bus
station at the next exit.
Let's get to walking.
The handle broke off.
You're gonna have to
climb out this side.
Aw, not the pants!
Not the pants!
He is just so precious.
Oh, oh, oh.
He's all wrinkly
and weird-looking,
like a turtle,
but I love him.
How are you doing, Cocoa?
Not good. I'm still
in a lot of pain.
Where?
Right below my ribs
and my lower back.
Excuse me, is there
anything you can do for her?
Oh, we already gave her Tylenol.
Well, it's not working.
My stomach really hurts.
Dr. Ryan, I think
she needs your help.
Her BP's risen to 180 over 110.
Is that bad?
Oh, it's too high,
isn't it, Dr. Ryan?
It's normal. She's
stressed from the labor.
Her BP will go down.
But she said she feels bad and
she's not looking too good.
She'll be fine.
How do you know that?
Because I've delivered
hundreds of babies.
But none in my family
and we do it differently.
We listen to the mama.
And if you won't, then I will
go find somebody that will.
Talking about hundreds of babies.
I ain't seen you deliver but one.
All right, y'all, keep it down. Now
don't make me come back in here.
Wine, my sweet?
It's right from the McKellan wine cellar.
- What's the vintage?
- Oh, 1985 mostly.
It has a little tap
water in it from 2022.
I need to keep it full so my
father don't know I been in it.
Same old Daniel.
No, I've changed!
In fact, I dress myself now.
I picked out this ensemble.
When will you
stop acting like a baby?
- Do you need to go in there?
- No. No, they'll work it out.
I'm sorry tonight
didn't go as planned,
but thank you for giving
me another chance.
I gotta let you know
the worst day of my life
was when you said,
"Goodbye, Daniel."
Well, it wasn't a great
day for me either.
I know I really screwed up,
messing around with your cousin.
No, I get it. We were kids
and my cousin was fast.
Well, but I've grown up, and, well,
I promise I won't let you down again.
- Yeah?
- Yeah.
- You're lucky you're cute.
- Oh, you think I'm cute?
- Well, you cute too.
- Aw.
Look at us, two cute people
having dinner together.
Hey, Ami. I'm putting
together this mobile.
Could you please pass
me the batteries?
Finally, you're helping. Snake!
Wait, no, no, no! No,
stop! Stop! Stop! Stop!
- Hey, what's going on?
- This is one of your dumb toys.
Not anymore, you
ruined it, stupid.
You're stupid.
Hey, whoa, whoa, whoa! Why y'all
yelling and throwing stuff?
Ami's being a little brat.
She can't take a joke.
Your jokes aren't funny, jerk.
I wish you would have gone away and
Shaka would have stayed.
Wow.
First of all, these
ain't my kids.
But they are my family and
something's off.
I can't believe I'm doing this, but
I need to speak with them privately.
Can I get a rain check?
You think a woman like me is
going to give out a rain check?
No, no, no, so stay.
Stay.
No. This is my
niece and my nephew,
I got to be here for them.
You got to go,
but I'm going to turn around
because I can't watch you leave.
Okay, Daniel.
Bye.
Come on. Why aren't
we moving yet?
Wow.
Oh, oh God.
Sir, can you please... Please
put your shoes back on?
Or let them air out?
Totally up to you.
Sorry. I'm married.
- Come on.
- Next up, Columbus, Georgia…
We'll be there in two hours.
…after we take a 30-minute
break to change drivers.
Come on!
It's a text from Jade.
There's something
wrong with Cocoa?
I'm calling an Uber. Let's go.
Now, Mazzi, you ready to tell
me what's been up with you?
- I don't know.
- You don't know?
I need a better answer to that
after I just sent home the
future Mrs. Uncle Daniel.
I'm sorry, okay?
Are we done?
Uh, well, based on that attitude,
we just getting started.
Now, Mazzi, what has
been going on with you?
Yeah.
Why have you been
acting so sus lately?
I don't know.
It's just ever since Shaka left
things have been really weird
around here without him.
You miss him, huh?
Yeah, of course I miss him.
He doesn't live here
anymore. It's just…
He left a few weeks ago and
he didn't ask how I felt.
I... I know. I know.
It was like that for me when
Moz went away to college.
There was nobody in this house I
could confide in or steal girls from.
You stole girls from Dad?
Oh, well, you know,
y'all go back in the day…
No, I'm lying.
I miss him too, Mazzi.
Shaka got an opportunity
to attend one of the best
boarding schools in the country.
Be happy for him.
Yeah, I am happy for
him. I'm just sad for me.
Well, why don't you call him? Hmm?
I'm sure he's missing you too.
I thought he'd be
busy with friends.
You're his brother. He always
will make time for you.
And so will Ami and I,
because that's what family does.
Right, Ami?
Yeah, of course.
I like hanging out with you,
but not when I got
my tool belt on.
Look,
you're about to have
a new baby brother.
So he and Ami need you to be
a responsible big brother.
And guess what? I know
you can handle it, right?
Yeah, you're right. I can.
So, Ami, can I help you do
anything else for the baby?
Why don't we take a break? I'll
play a video game with you.
Actually, I've
got a better game.
Let's see how fast we can
put this crib together.
Good. Now, while y'all do that,
I'm going to look around this house
for something to regift to Angela.
Thank you so much for
coming, Dr. Griffin.
I'm glad you found me in the hallway.
Cocoa has postpartum preeclampsia.
Is that serious?
Yes, but we can treat it. Start
the antihypertensive protocol.
I didn't realize
things were so dire.
My daughter-in-law kept telling
you something was wrong,
but you didn't listen.
We're gonna do the
very best we can.
She's in good hands.
Thank you so much,
Dr. Griffin, for stepping in.
Please, just help my Cocoa.
I'm telling you, we need
her. Her baby needs her.
I know, but Cocoa's at the age
where her chances for
complications are higher.
Dr. Ryan should have known that.
Sometimes doctors don't take
our health concerns seriously,
as if we don't really feel pain.
Dr. Griffin, her BP is still up.
Cocoa? Baby, I'm here.
What happened to y'all?
It's a long story,
but we made it.
Dr. Griffin, she's seizing.
Get her to the ICU, stat!
Oh, stay with us, baby.
- Jade, come here. It's okay. It's okay.
- Dad, what…
Oh, God.
Let us pray.
Dear God,
please keep your protective
arms around your child, Cocoa.
Help her to pull through
this with strength
and health.
Hey, y'all, Lord, you know what
to do. Oh, yes, you do, Lord.
Amen.
- Amen. Amen.
- Amen.
- Unbelievable!
- Mm-hmm.
So then what happened?
Well, things were looking really
bad for Cocoa, and then she...
Who wants ice cream?
Cocoa, hi baby! Oh!
To hear Amelia tell it, I
thought you died at the hospital.
Oh, I could have.
Come here, my baby.
Yeah, you know, Dr. Griffin said that
more Black women die giving birth
than anybody else.
You know, Mom, I'm just really
glad you weren't one of them.
I'm glad M'Dear was
there to be her advocate.
I was too weak to help myself.
That Dr. Ryan, she better be glad
I didn't crack her upside her head.
Messing with my family. Psst.
She didn't want
none of this smoke.
That's my Amelia.
Hey, y'all.
- Hey.
- Nephew!
Who's that?
Well, this…
- This is my girlfriend, Angela.
- Oh.
You still sweet on each other?
Yeah. He's a family
man and I like it.
Wow, you've never had a
relationship last this long.
My baby brother's growing up.
You know, I think we all have.
Yes, happy six-month birthday!
Yes, Skye.
Ooh, Skye!
I've been calling you
that for six months
and it still don't sit
right with me.
So how did you come up with
that name anyway, Cocoa?
Well, while I was lying in the bed at
the hospital looking out the window,
I thought the sky's the
limit for this child.
Nothing can stop my son.
So… Skye.
Oh, that's so sweet.
Oh, but you can change your name
when you get older, can't you?
Yes, you can. Yes, you can.
Diva out.
