Family Reunion (2019–…): Season 5, Episode 2 - Episode #5.2 - full transcript
Mom, what is taking Aunt
Maureen so long to get here?
I'm not sure. Her plane
landed two hours ago.
Was she late a lot
when you were kids?
I don't know.
It's sad, but we didn't
spend a lot of time together
because we had different moms.
Well, Jade and I share a mom.
Trust me, it's not that great.
Check this out.
Your cousin Tyson loves cars, so I
got this for him. What do you think?
I think you bought a
toy for a five-year-old.
Come on, Dad. Tyson's
like a year older than me.
Did you also buy him
a Hot Wheels track?
I can still cancel it.
If you didn't take my phone, we
wouldn't have had no problems.
Any problems. And if you stayed
awake in class, you'd know that.
We both know why
I took your phone.
Sounds like they're here.
Let me tell you something. Do not
raise your voice at me, you got it?
- Hey, girl!
- Hey!
- Hey, everybody.
- Ah!
How are you?
Um, I'm fine. Is
everything okay with you?
Oh, yeah, we're fine. I'm just
mad at the boy for making me late.
I told you I was hungry so
I was getting a sandwich.
No, you just wandered off
and didn't let me know.
Oh, well, I couldn't text
you since you took my phone,
'cause I'm on punishment, remember?
Ooh, this child just keeps
trying me.
Where is my sweet,
new, non-verbal nephew?
Uh, he's napping. Hopefully
he'll sleep until we get to church,
- and then I can take him to the nursery.
- Ah.
Yo! Is that a 1969
Pontiac GTO Judge?
- Uh, yes, it is.
- Ooh!
Got to love a classic, Unc.
Hey, I saw your BMW
750i xDrive outside.
Now that's one that made Mercedes-Benz
say, "We gotta step our game up!"
I see you killing them
with the blacked-out rims.
You thought it was a bad idea.
Yeah, I would still cancel
that Hot Wheels track.
Yes, good point.
Goodness! Is this Tyson?
- Ooh, boy, you're getting so big!
- Yes, ma'am.
- It's so great to see you again.
- Ooh.
Ah. Hey, Maureen.
Hi, M'dear.
Oh, so are you wearing
this to church?
Uh, no, ma'am. I brought a dress.
Just give me, uh, two minutes.
Okay. And what about you, Tyson?
I figured I'd just, you know,
kick it around Columbus,
see what there is to see.
I'm sorry. He thinks
he has a choice!
Boy, you better find a collared
shirt and some dress pants
and kick it to the church.
- Oh, you serious?
- Yes.
I would say serious as a heart attack,
but I don't want to tempt the Lord.
Woo!
Yes! Give it up for
the Heaven's Way choir!
Woo!
That's my baby! That's my baby!
And thank you to Pastor McKellan for
allowing me to fill in while he's
- at the Christian Leadership Conference.
- Well…
Mm-hmm.
And remember, God is good,
- all the time.
- All the time.
And all the time…
God is good.
Amen.
Amen.
Mm, mm, mm.
You two can blow!
Oh, thank you, young man.
I was born with it, but I've
taught her everything she knows.
Have we met before?
Nah, shorty, I
would remember you.
I'm Godz Sun.
- Hi.
- We're all God's children.
No. No, no, no.
- You're a rapper.
- Mm-hmm.
Godz Sun! Oh my gosh. You
are like the king of TikTok.
I mean, you have like
12 million followers.
Uh, actually, it's 15 million, but
I don't pay attention to numbers.
Well, pay attention to this one: 17.
I'll cut you.
Understood.
Oh. What
are you doing here?
Pastor Brooks is my uncle.
Oh.
You are Slidell's boy? Oh,
you look just like your daddy.
But he grew out of it.
You know, I'm looking for someone to
sing a gospel hook on my new track.
Would you two be interested?
Oh, I don't listen to that
hippity-hop-skippety music.
- What? Jade…
- Listen.
M'dear, this could
be a good thing.
- Uh-huh.
- I mean, just imagine 15 million people
listening to my
voi... our voices,
and it would be great
exposure for the church.
Oh.
Oh. So you saying that it
would be like a ministry?
Exactly! Exactly like that.
You two were amazing.
Oh. Thank you, Dad.
Jade, I had no idea you
had a voice like that.
You don't have to
listen to it all day.
See, what I told you, boy? I
told you this was Godz Sun.
Whoa, dude, I love your music!
Wait. Wait. Let me go get something
for you to sign. Stay right here.
Mazzi…
Hey, look, we're
distant cousins.
He has no chill.
Mom, Dad, he wants me and M'dear
to sing a hook on his new song.
- Mm-hmm.
- I mean, I'm going to be famous.
Oh my God, I must be dreaming!
So, will you be in my new song?
Oh, I don't know. I have to
wait and see what the Lord says.
Did I mention I'll make a
five-thousand-dollar donation
- to the church?
- Five thousand doll...
Oh, wow!
Well, I think I heard him!
Oh, it's a great idea.
We'll sing! We'll sing!
Ooh, look at all of this!
Back in the studio. Ooh,
this brings back memories.
Ah, Jade, this is the perfect
way to spread the word,
combining gospel with
that noise you love.
Jade, Mrs. McKellan, thank you
so much for blessing my track.
Oh, well, you're welcome
and just call me M'dear.
Okay, for sure! I need
you to sing this chorus.
Okay.
Later, I'll add my verse, and my
engineer will mix it. Feel me?
No, no. I'd rather keep
my hands to myself.
- I know what you meant.
- Oh, I'm sure you do, Lil' Mama!
Okay. Okay, seventeen.
Seventeen. Seventeen.
That was the one!
Thanks.
Woo!
Who knew you could get so tired
just singing about the Lord?
All right, um, what's next?
That's it. Y'all can bounce.
I'll add my vocals and sprinkle
some special sauce on it.
I already sent you the
donation through Zelle.
Maizelle? Maizelle Appleton?
She don't even go to
our church no more.
And why would you
send her the money?
Everybody knows she
got a gambling problem.
I'll explain it to her. Don't
worry. So, you open your banking app
and then you click
this little thing…
So how are things really going?
Well, you know, Tyson's been a challenge
ever since his father passed away.
Losing Rafik has to be
so hard on you both.
It's been horrible.
And Tyson's attitude
doesn't help.
He's either skipping school
or staying out all night.
What?
All night?
Well, what is he out doing?
Girl, he is hanging with thugs
who taught him
how to steal cars.
See, he likes to joyride,
but, in his mind,
it's not so bad because
he brings the cars back.
Reeni, I had no idea things
were going so bad for you.
I feel terrible.
And to make matters
worse, these "friends,"
they're pressuring him
to join their gang.
And I don't know that I can
keep him away from that.
Wow. I am so sorry.
Have you tried therapy?
Yeah, I've tried everything.
And being an ER doctor,
it's become a nightmare
because I'm never home.
So you tell me, what is the point
of saving other people's lives
if I can't even save my own son?
Oh. Honey. Honey. Come here.
Listen, you are
an amazing mother
and you should not
blame yourself.
We'll figure this
out together, okay?
Thank you, sis.
Tyrone, Willie, great rehearsal.
Sister Charlotte,
please, drink some tea
before you come next Sunday
and don't spike it.
Oh, my God.
M'dear, Godz Sun just released
our song on SoundCloud.
Well, what are you
waiting for? Play it.
Booty? Did he say
boo... Oh, Jesus!
- Oh, God.
- Oh!
- Turn it off!
- I'm trying!
Turn it off, right now!
Jade! What is that?
I had no idea it
was going to be so…
- Ungodly?
- Yeah.
His name is Godz Sun,
and that song is, oh God, it
is the furthest thing from God.
I thought you knew him.
I thought since he was
looking for gospel singers,
it was implied we'd be
making a churchy song.
Jade!
What would it look like for the first
lady of Heaven's Way Baptist Church
to be on a song
worshiping backsides?
M'dear, I promise I
am going to fix this.
You better fix it
before anybody hears it,
or you will have a bigger
problem than just a nasty song.
Nasty.
Just nasty!
I never… Oh!
We need to talk.
I know what that means.
Don't go anywhere. I'll be back.
I'm worried about Tyson.
Ever since his father passed, he's
started running a little wild.
Maureen needs help.
- I can talk to him if you want me to?
- No, honey, it's bigger than that.
He's running with a rough crowd.
It's a matter of time before
he gets arrested or shot.
He needs a whole
new support system.
He lives in Detroit. What
are we supposed to do?
- He could stay here?
- Mm…
Honey. Honey, think about how
great that would be for him.
But this isn't our house,
and we have a newborn baby in
addition to our other children.
Honey,
Tyson's family, and he
really needs our help.
I'm not saying no, but
this is a big decision.
Let's not rush into it.
Hey, uh,
have you guys seen Tyson?
He's probably out
front with the kids.
Where are the kids?
And where is my car?
Tyson!
Tyson?
Tyson.
I thought you
said you knew how to drive.
Pretty good, huh?
I taught myself.
You might want to give
yourself some more lessons.
Relax, cuz,
I'm just riding.
Look, maybe we'll go
get some ice cream.
Either way, we'll be
back before they know it.
And what's your
favorite flavor, Ami?
Keep your eyes on
the road, fool!
Now, I've heard of "Rocky road,"
but "Eyes on the road, fool,"
that must be a new one.
Hey, Mom.
Mazzi, what do you
think you're doing?
Right now?
I'm praying.
We're going to die!
Tyson, stop the
damn car right now.
- But...
- I said now!
Just so we clear, it wasn't
my idea to stop. All right?
Oh, sorry, shorty, groupie
hours are after 6:00.
Check yourself.
I am no groupie.
Oh.
It's Miss Seventeen. What's up?
Why didn't you tell us we
were making a strip club song
and not a church song?
You didn't ask.
Well, my grandmother
would have never agreed
to do a song like that.
Look, Godz Sun is the here,
the now, and the future.
I'm not about to let some
senior citizen's feelings
rule me or my music.
I do what I want and, uh,
the people want what I do.
Come on, brother.
Okay, so it doesn't bother you that
you are exploiting an underage girl
and the first lady of a church?
How'd you feel if somebody
did that to your grandmother?
I don't care about my granny.
Sure don't care
about the church.
I only care about my
music and my money.
Ugh. You are so un-hot.
Look, you see the door.
Nobody's making you stay.
Excuse me.
All right, cool. I'll
just post my TikTok later.
What TikTok?
I don't
care about my granny.
Sure don't care
about the church.
I only care about my
music and my money.
And what if I have my
people smash your phone?
Tss. It's already on the cloud.
And I just recorded that.
How are your fans going to react
to you threatening a woman?
And I would just love to know what
your uncle, Pastor Brooks, thinks.
Oh, and your granny.
Fine. You win, all right?
I'll take it down.
You don't get it.
It's not about winning.
It's about doing what's right.
How dare you three leave this
house without telling anyone?
But we were...
You're off all devices until
further notice. Go to your rooms.
What were you thinking?
You put your cousins'
lives at risk.
Who do you think you are?
Pretty sure I'm Tyson.
You know, M'dear has belts on the
ready for situations like this.
I prefer Hot Wheels tracks.
Damn, I shouldn't have
canceled that order.
Tyson, get upstairs right now. I
don't even want to look at you.
That's it. I guess I'm just
sending him to military school,
because, at this point, I
don't see any other options.
I'm very sorry about your car.
I will pay for the damages.
Don't worry about it.
Insurance will cover it.
Thank you.
Let me go upstairs
and talk to this boy.
Do you see what I
was talking about?
Honey, he needs us.
Cocoa, he stole my car.
He put our kids in danger, and you
still think he should live here?
Absolutely. You know how much our
children benefited from being here.
Do you remember how wild
Jade was starting to get?
If we hadn't come here, who
knows where she would be now.
But having a village,
this village, turned
things around.
True, but he's not my kid.
My first responsibility
is to my family.
- Well, Maureen and Tyson are your family.
- That's not what...
No, honey, do you really think that
military school is the best place for him?
What he needs is a family, not
a drill sergeant and a gun.
I don't know what the answer is
for him. But I know we're not it.
And I'm not going to jeopardize
our kids to save him.
Are you walking away from me
in the middle of an argument?
See? See? Now you
got Skye upset too.
Hey, Unc.
Look,
I want to give this back to you.
I don't deserve it and I
know you're pretty mad.
You think?
I'm gonna get a job this summer.
I know it's gonna take a while,
but my pops always said a
real man pays his debts off.
So I got you.
Yeah, your dad was
a stand-up guy.
Yeah, man, I miss him.
How do you think he'd feel about
the way you've been acting?
I guess not good.
I don't know.
How do you feel about
how you've been acting?
I don't know. It's
whatever, man.
My mom hates me.
Tyson,
she doesn't hate you.
Then why is she sending me away?
Hmm?
Ty...
Well, good morning, Saints.
Good morning.
We have a very
special guest with us.
He is Georgia's
very own Godz Sun.
Come on up.
Yo.
I grew up in church,
but when I got famous, I
got about me and not God.
It ain't easy staying
right in the spotlight.
So I want to give a special shout-out
to Jade and first lady, Amelia McKellen,
for reminding a brother of
what's really important.
- Doing the right thing.
- Yes.
Sometimes all you need are
good people in your life…
Amen.
…to set you straight.
Cue the music.
You handled this better
than I thought you would.
Thank you. I never
want to let you down.
Woo! Church was so powerful.
Made me almost want to forgive Tyson
for all the trouble he's caused.
Well, forgive him
and maybe reconsider
military school.
I appreciate your concern, but
I really think this is best.
Maureen, are you sure?
Military school is not
what that child needs.
Well, what other choice
do I have, M'dear?
I mean, who else is going to keep
an eye on him while I'm working?
- But, Ma…
- "But, Ma" nothing.
Tyson, you have proven time and time
again that you can't be trusted.
So if I have to pay someone
to keep you out of trouble,
then I guess that's
what it's going to be.
It doesn't have to be.
Look, if you're open to it…
he can stay here.
What?
Are you sure?
I've already talked about it
with Jeb and we are fine with it.
But only if Tyson wants to and
is willing to follow the rules.
We run a pretty tight ship around
here. All eyes will be on him.
Well, I'm glad to hear that.
Is this something you want?
I mean, between here
and military school?
Yeah, I guess I'm good here.
Tyson, you need to get on your
knees and thank God tonight
for the miracle
that just happened.
Thank you. Thank
you for doing this.
Thank your sister.
It was all her idea.
Tyson, I am glad
you are staying.
He'll move into Mazzi's room.
What? I was looking forward
to having a spot to myself.
Well, now you can
share the spot.
I hope he's gonna be okay.
Don't worry, sis. We'll
take great care of him.
Tyson.
I am going to miss this face.
I love you very much.
I love you too.
Hey, Tyson,
since we never made it
to the ice cream parlor,
I got some for us
out of the fridge.
Yeah, look, we mixed
up two flavors.
We call it "Eyes
on the road, fool."
Listen, if he gives you any
trouble, do not hesitate to call me.
That boy is going to be fine,
and we'll make sure he takes driver's ed.
- Yeah.
- And get a haircut.
Diva out.
Maureen so long to get here?
I'm not sure. Her plane
landed two hours ago.
Was she late a lot
when you were kids?
I don't know.
It's sad, but we didn't
spend a lot of time together

Don't go anywhere. I'll be back.
I'm worried about Tyson.
Ever since his father passed, he's
started running a little wild.
Maureen needs help.
- I can talk to him if you want me to?
- No, honey, it's bigger than that.
He's running with a rough crowd.
It's a matter of time before
he gets arrested or shot.
He needs a whole
new support system.
He lives in Detroit. What
are we supposed to do?
- He could stay here?
- Mm…
Honey. Honey, think about how
great that would be for him.
But this isn't our house,
and we have a newborn baby in
addition to our other children.
Honey,
Tyson's family, and he
really needs our help.
I'm not saying no, but
this is a big decision.
Let's not rush into it.
Hey, uh,
have you guys seen Tyson?
He's probably out
front with the kids.
Where are the kids?
And where is my car?
Tyson!
Tyson?
Tyson.
I thought you
said you knew how to drive.
Pretty good, huh?
I taught myself.
You might want to give
yourself some more lessons.
Relax, cuz,
I'm just riding.
Look, maybe we'll go
get some ice cream.
Either way, we'll be
back before they know it.
And what's your
favorite flavor, Ami?
Keep your eyes on
the road, fool!
Now, I've heard of "Rocky road,"
but "Eyes on the road, fool,"
that must be a new one.
Hey, Mom.
Mazzi, what do you
think you're doing?
Right now?
I'm praying.
We're going to die!
Tyson, stop the
damn car right now.
- But...
- I said now!
Just so we clear, it wasn't
my idea to stop. All right?
Oh, sorry, shorty, groupie
hours are after 6:00.
Check yourself.
I am no groupie.
Oh.
It's Miss Seventeen. What's up?
Why didn't you tell us we
were making a strip club song
and not a church song?
You didn't ask.
Well, my grandmother
would have never agreed
to do a song like that.
Look, Godz Sun is the here,
the now, and the future.
I'm not about to let some
senior citizen's feelings
rule me or my music.
I do what I want and, uh,
the people want what I do.
Come on, brother.
Okay, so it doesn't bother you that
you are exploiting an underage girl
and the first lady of a church?
How'd you feel if somebody
did that to your grandmother?
I don't care about my granny.
Sure don't care
about the church.
I only care about my
music and my money.
Ugh. You are so un-hot.
Look, you see the door.
Nobody's making you stay.
Excuse me.
All right, cool. I'll
just post my TikTok later.
What TikTok?
I don't
care about my granny.
Sure don't care
about the church.
I only care about my
music and my money.
And what if I have my
people smash your phone?
Tss. It's already on the cloud.
And I just recorded that.
How are your fans going to react
to you threatening a woman?
And I would just love to know what
your uncle, Pastor Brooks, thinks.
Oh, and your granny.
Fine. You win, all right?
I'll take it down.
You don't get it.
It's not about winning.
It's about doing what's right.
How dare you three leave this
house without telling anyone?
But we were...
You're off all devices until
further notice. Go to your rooms.
What were you thinking?
You put your cousins'
lives at risk.
Who do you think you are?
Pretty sure I'm Tyson.
You know, M'dear has belts on the
ready for situations like this.
I prefer Hot Wheels tracks.
Damn, I shouldn't have
canceled that order.
Tyson, get upstairs right now. I
don't even want to look at you.
That's it. I guess I'm just
sending him to military school,
because, at this point, I
don't see any other options.
I'm very sorry about your car.
I will pay for the damages.
Don't worry about it.
Insurance will cover it.
Thank you.
Let me go upstairs
and talk to this boy.
Do you see what I
was talking about?
Honey, he needs us.
Cocoa, he stole my car.
He put our kids in danger, and you
still think he should live here?
Absolutely. You know how much our
children benefited from being here.
Do you remember how wild
Jade was starting to get?
If we hadn't come here, who
knows where she would be now.
But having a village,
this village, turned
things around.
True, but he's not my kid.
My first responsibility
is to my family.
- Well, Maureen and Tyson are your family.
- That's not what...
No, honey, do you really think that
military school is the best place for him?
What he needs is a family, not
a drill sergeant and a gun.
I don't know what the answer is
for him. But I know we're not it.
And I'm not going to jeopardize
our kids to save him.
Are you walking away from me
in the middle of an argument?
See? See? Now you
got Skye upset too.
Hey, Unc.
Look,
I want to give this back to you.
I don't deserve it and I
know you're pretty mad.
You think?
I'm gonna get a job this summer.
I know it's gonna take a while,
but my pops always said a
real man pays his debts off.
So I got you.
Yeah, your dad was
a stand-up guy.
Yeah, man, I miss him.
How do you think he'd feel about
the way you've been acting?
I guess not good.
I don't know.
How do you feel about
how you've been acting?
I don't know. It's
whatever, man.
My mom hates me.
Tyson,
she doesn't hate you.
Then why is she sending me away?
Hmm?
Ty...
Well, good morning, Saints.
Good morning.
We have a very
special guest with us.
He is Georgia's
very own Godz Sun.
Come on up.
Yo.
I grew up in church,
but when I got famous, I
got about me and not God.
It ain't easy staying
right in the spotlight.
So I want to give a special shout-out
to Jade and first lady, Amelia McKellen,
for reminding a brother of
what's really important.
- Doing the right thing.
- Yes.
Sometimes all you need are
good people in your life…
Amen.
…to set you straight.
Cue the music.
You handled this better
than I thought you would.
Thank you. I never
want to let you down.
Woo! Church was so powerful.
Made me almost want to forgive Tyson
for all the trouble he's caused.
Well, forgive him
and maybe reconsider
military school.
I appreciate your concern, but
I really think this is best.
Maureen, are you sure?
Military school is not
what that child needs.
Well, what other choice
do I have, M'dear?
I mean, who else is going to keep
an eye on him while I'm working?
- But, Ma…
- "But, Ma" nothing.
Tyson, you have proven time and time
again that you can't be trusted.
So if I have to pay someone
to keep you out of trouble,
then I guess that's
what it's going to be.
It doesn't have to be.
Look, if you're open to it…
he can stay here.
What?
Are you sure?
I've already talked about it
with Jeb and we are fine with it.
But only if Tyson wants to and
is willing to follow the rules.
We run a pretty tight ship around
here. All eyes will be on him.
Well, I'm glad to hear that.
Is this something you want?
I mean, between here
and military school?
Yeah, I guess I'm good here.
Tyson, you need to get on your
knees and thank God tonight
for the miracle
that just happened.
Thank you. Thank
you for doing this.
Thank your sister.
It was all her idea.
Tyson, I am glad
you are staying.
He'll move into Mazzi's room.
What? I was looking forward
to having a spot to myself.
Well, now you can
share the spot.
I hope he's gonna be okay.
Don't worry, sis. We'll
take great care of him.
Tyson.
I am going to miss this face.
I love you very much.
I love you too.
Hey, Tyson,
since we never made it
to the ice cream parlor,
I got some for us
out of the fridge.
Yeah, look, we mixed
up two flavors.
We call it "Eyes
on the road, fool."
Listen, if he gives you any
trouble, do not hesitate to call me.
That boy is going to be fine,
and we'll make sure he takes driver's ed.
- Yeah.
- And get a haircut.
Diva out.
