[upbeat music plays]

♪ Hey ♪

I have been surrounded by sneezing
middle schoolers all week.

It is nice to be around
my germ-free cousins.



You wash your hands right, Ami?

Cousin Cheryl, I live
with filthy boys.

I wash my hands all the time.

Here, people.

Finally, M'Dear's
mac and cheese.

We have been waiting
all day for this.

[girls gagging]

I guess I'm late. I
wanted to warn you.

- Maybelle made the mac and cheese.
- Ah.

- The aftertaste, it burns.
- [Cocoa] Here.

Tony is giving Maybelle
a big surprise.

He said he's going to bring it by later,
after he drops off his mother, Joyce.

Aw. A gift before the wedding
tomorrow. That is so sweet.

Yeah. I mean, I wish I had a rich,
handsome fiancé who brought me gifts.



Well, speaking of gifts, I
recently joined the Palladium team.

What's a Palladium?

Oh, it's a lifestyle.

We empower women by offering each of
us the freedom of entrepreneurship.

Sounds like a cult.

Kind of.

- [door closes]
- [Ami] Shh! Aunt Maybelle's coming.

Okay, now y'all, listen. She doesn't
know anything about anything,

so keep your big mouths shut.

- Hey, y'all.
- Maybelle.

Tony has a big surprise for you!

[squeals]

Y'all are just mad
because I beat you to it.

Aw. My baby has a
surprise for me.

So nobody say anything,
unless you want to.

Sorry, but we don't
know the deets.

All we know is he's bringing it

after he drops his mom
here for our girls' night.

Wait, Joyce is coming here?

Oh, we're going to need
some more spiked tea.

Why don't you like
your mother-in-law?

It's more that she
doesn't like me.

She takes issue with me being
a little older than Tony.

[chuckles]

A little older than
Tony. [chuckles]

Oh, that's funny.

It is not funny, Amelia.

I mean, I can handle it,
but it really bothers Tony.

[knock on door]

[Ami] I'll get it.

No, I'll get it.

Let me get this torture
over and done with.

[groans]

- Hi, baby.
- Hey, baby.

Hey, everyone. Ladies, this
is my lovely mother, Joyce.

- Hello, Joyce.
- Hi.

- Joyce.
- Maybelle.

Oh, goodness. Have you gotten older
since the last time I saw you?

- Mom!
- What? I love you too, dear.

Joyce, take off your jacket and make
yourself welcome here in my home.

And I'm going to have Cheryl make
you a big bowl of mac and cheese.

Oh, thank you.

Uh, I'm going to hit the gym.
I'll see my number one girl later.

- Okay.
- Okay.

Run, Tony, run.

Here you go, Joyce. Enjoy.

Ooh. [chuckles]

Ooh!

Maybe that nasty food will
make her shut her mouth.

- ♪ Hey, hey, hey ♪

♪ Hey, hey ♪

You know, nothing builds
character like hard work

and we have outdone ourselves.

We?

Yeah, so far, me, Tyson, and
Dad are the only we's working.

Well, you're the only
ones that need character.

Now, let's, uh, put these boxes
up in the attic before we forget.

And by we, you mean us, right?

Now you're catching on.

Once we get these boxes back,

then the church will be ready
for the wedding tomorrow.

And then my work is done.

[upbeat music plays]

♪ Yeah, yeah, oh ♪

Wow, I haven't been
up here in years.

Huh. You know, uh, back in the day,
I used to bring girls up here to…

pray.

That was 25 years ago!

It's never too late
to correct your child.

Y'all just keep on building
character. I'm going downstairs.

Well, let's get started. [sighs]

[chittering]

Oh! What…

Oh, a puppy.

[chittering]

That ain't no damn puppy!

Oh! No! No!

- Mazzi!
- No, no, no! It's too late.

The raccoon has him now.

[upbeat music plays]

- So, Joyce.
- Hmm.

May I offer you some
tea? It's spiked.

Spiked tea. What
is this, the prom?

Anything to hold on to your
youth, I suppose. Hmm? [laughs]

Miss Joyce, we have
a gift for you.

Oh!

[giggles]

- [gasps]
- Don't you love it?

I designed and
bedazzled it myself, so…

Oh, cute!

But, you know, since I'm an adult,
I really don't do cute anymore.

I do more adult things,
like date men my own age,

something your Aunt Maybelle
hasn't quite mastered yet.

Ugh.

The shade of it all.

Now, you listen
here, Miss Joyce.

This is Maybelle's party, and
if you can't get with the show,

baby, you need to hit the door.

Wait. Wait. Wait.

Nobody's hitting the door.

Let's… Let's talk this out.

Don't waste your energy, Cocoa.

Joyce only hears what
she wants to hear.

Let me handle this.

Look, Joyce, wouldn't it be great if
we all could put our differences aside

and celebrate Maybelle tonight?

Oh.

So, what you're saying is you're
going to drive me back to my hotel

so I can mourn the fact that my
son is throwing away his life?

Thanks.

I'll wait for you on the porch.

Wow, she really does only
hear what she wants to hear.

Ah! Ah! Ah!

[panting]

What's going on?

There's a raccoon up there.

Well, somebody's got to go up
there and get that raccoon out

before the wedding tomorrow.

Someone other than me.

Well, you got this, Big Unc.

Big Unc who?

You know what? You're
right. I'm not tripping.

- It's okay.
- [yelps]

Okay, maybe I am tripping.

It's all right, son.
We all have our demons.

Well, at least it's trapped
until we can figure out a plan.

[chitters]

Whoa!

It's not trapped.

I have a feeling that the last person out
didn't get a chance to close the door.

You were the last person out.
Why didn't you close the door?

Um, a better question is, as your
child, why was I the last one out?

The best question is, as my
child, why are you so slow?

[upbeat music plays]

♪ Hey ♪

Are you sure we shouldn't ask Uncle
Tony to wait until my mom gets back?

Look, I have been waiting on
this surprise long enough.

Everything ain't
about you, Jade. Go.

Tony, come on with it.

Oh my God. What is it?

Okay. It's something
you've always wanted.

Let's take this blindfold off.

A dog?

Not just any dog. Shai's
a rescue dog. Hey!

She poop on my floor, she's
going to need another rescue.

Oh baby, this is so sweet, but
I'm not really a dog person.

What? You said you love dogs.

- I did?
- Yeah, when we first met.

Well, that's probably because
I knew you loved dogs,

and I was trying to
make a connection.

And, hello, it worked.

So you lied to me.

Come on, sweetie.

I mean, all couples tell little
white lies when they're courting.

Well, to me there's
nothing little about a lie.

Tony, come on.
You're overreacting.

I never overreact.

I just feel like I don't
know who you are anymore.

Well, if Uncle Tony
thinks a lie is a lie…

And Maybelle doesn't…

Then there's only one way
to settle this dispute.

Let me get my robe!

Robe? Why is she getting a robe?

[chuckles] Because

here comes the judge.

["The People's
Court" theme plays]

[Ami] Tony Olsen believes in
total honesty in a relationship.

Maybelle Williams believes

that there's nothing wrong
with little white lies.

We'll settle it
today, here, in court.

M'Dear's Court!

[upbeat music plays]

I thought you wanted to go back to
your room and just forget about today?

And a drink will
help me do just that.

Look, I know that you are not
happy about Maybelle and Tony,

but they are happy,
so you should be too.

Ooh.

I need a drink to continue
this conversation.

Where is the bartender?

Do I have to make
my own cocktail?

Joyce, you shouldn't
be back there.

But as long as you are,
I'll have a martini.

Uh, can I help you, ladies?

Hey, Cocoa!

Hey! Um, Joyce, this is
Vic, my buddy from the gym.

And Vic, this is Joyce, my
aunt's soon-to-be mother-in-law.

Mm-hmm. And my
soon-to-be first wife.

Oh! Boy! Stop flirting.

Joyce is way too smart for
any of your pickup lines.

I've heard them all before.

Yeah, well, I heard you're from Tennessee,
because you're the only ten I see.

[giggles]

What? I haven't heard that one.

- And I admire your creativity.
- Mm-hmm.

Hey, Vic, are there any other
cool spots you can suggest?

Mm. Well, there is a lituation
happening in the ballroom

and we can kick it
there if you like.

Oh, we like. Right, Joyce?

Depends. What's a lituation?

It's a lit situation.
So simple, but I get it.

You must be tired from
driving all the men crazy.

Well, I guess a little
lituation won't hurt.

♪ One, two, three, four ♪

[upbeat music plays]

Keep your eyes open.

[sighs]

That raccoon tore up
all our hard work.

And by our, I mean mine.

Maybe I should go check on Dad.

He was pretty shaken up.

Yeah, I think he's
raccoon-a-phobic.

Oh, he'll be all right,

as soon as he stops crying.

[upbeat action music plays]

Who's crying now?

Dad!

Woo! You came back!

I'm facing my demons.
That raccoon's going down.

Cheryl, your witness.

Cousin Maybelle,

would you consider
yourself an honest person?

Of course I do.

Honest enough to tell M'Dear the doily
'round her neck makes her look country.

I'm honest, not crazy.

Are you honest
enough to tell Cheryl

that she's gonna kill somebody
with those products she's selling?

Palladium products
make life better.

That foot cream turned
my toenail black.

It's not too late to
make a run for it.

[upbeat music plays]

What is this?

Ain't no party like a college party
'cause a college party don't stop!

[chuckling]

They've got free Funyuns! Ha ha!

Uh, look, Joyce, if this party is
too exciting and too young for you,

we don't have to go in.

Well, I mean, Vic did
bring us all the way here.

I guess we could at
least check it out.

But I can't make any
promises that I will stay

or enjoy myself.

- Muah! [laughs]
- Oh!

[cheering]

Oh, mercy!

[laughing]

Woo!

Oh.

So are you having a good time?

I mean, I'm having an okay time.

[laughing]

Hey! Hey! Hey!

- Hey!
- [Cocoa laughs]

Hey!

Hey!

Are you having fun yet?

I'm having the time of my life!

That's what I do!
That's what I do!

That's what I do!
That's what I do!

♪ What? What's up? ♪

[sighs]

Maybe he left the building.

- [chitters]

There it is.

No!

Over there.

Slowly. Slowly.

Where did it go?

[chitters]

Clever girl.

Save yourselves!

Dad?

[grunts]

Victory!

- [chuckles]
- Woo!

- Unc, you did it!
- Way to go, Dad!

Oh, man!

Hey, I'm proud of you, son. You
faced your fears and came out on top.

Well, I had to decide what
kind of man I wanted to be.

What's the point in
living your life scared?

Well, you know, living, for one.

Right, well, you got
him. What do you do now?

I don't know. Dad,
what do you think?

I think my work here is done.

I'm going to go
eat. Come on, boys.

What?

No, seriously. What am I
supposed to do with this thing?

Dad!

- Well, I guess I'll set you free.
- [chitters]

Okay, you know
what? Peace out! No.

[upbeat music plays]

Now, Mr. Olsen…

do you believe that
honesty is the best policy?

It's the only policy.

When I became an Eagle Scout,
I took an oath never to lie.

Huh.

To never lie.

I rest my case

and my feet because these
heels are killing me.

I see you, Ketanji.

Your Honor, may I
present Exhibit A?

In this lovely Palladium
serving and storage dish.

I know that smell anywhere.

Mm-hmm.

That's right. It's
Maybelle's mac and cheese.

And Tony loves my
mac and cheese.

He's the only one.

Is that true, Tony?

Do you love Maybelle's
mac and cheese?

I mean, not as much as
I love her. [chuckles]

So cute.

Uh, take a bite.

Jade, don't you want to object?

Sorry, Renee just dyed her hair
and thanks to you, I was honest.

I told her she looks like
Elmo, now it's a thing.

Just give me one second.

We're waiting.

Come on, knock it out, scout.

Mm. Mm, mm, good.

Hmm-hmm.

I'm sorry, Maybelle,
but I hate it.

Baby, who puts Vienna sausages
and cranberries in mac and cheese?

You said the tang was
your favorite part!

Your Honor, this man is a liar and
his pants are on fire. I rest my case.

Tony Olsen, you are
guilty as charged.

But… you love my sister enough
to want to spare her feelings,

even though her mac and cheese is
the worst in the state of Georgia,

maybe the whole world.

So, I sentence the both of you

to a lifetime…

of love and happiness.

- [chuckles]
- Aw!

Thank you, Your Honor.

My sister.

I love you.

[M'Dear chuckles]

Ami, get rid of that mess.

[growls]

[upbeat music plays]

- Hey! Hey! Hey! Hey! Hey!
- [laughing]

Oh!

This was epic!

Woo!

Oh, thank you so much for
showing me a great time tonight.

Yeah, and you know what?

It's kind of weird that we had
so much fun with a younger man.

You have made your point, okay?

I can see now how Maybelle
could fall in love

with someone so much
younger than her.

[laughing]

Look, Joyce, if you are
here to start trouble...

I'm not.

I'm just here to have a mature,
private conversation with Maybelle.

Well, you heard the woman, Cocoa.
This is a private conversation.

Okay.

Ah, this porch is spinning.

I need to pump and dump.

I don't want Skye spinning.

[laughing]

- Bye, girl.
- Bye.

Go ahead.

Listen, Maybelle...

No, you listen, Joyce.

All I've done ever since you got here, is
listen to you insult me and belittle me

and I'm not going
to take it anymore.

So,

whether you like it or not, I
am marrying your son tomorrow.

I know.

And while you are not who
I would choose for Tony,

you make my son happy.

And that is what's
most important.

Mm.

If I'd known it would be that easy, I'd
have stood up for myself a long time ago.

Well, it wouldn't have worked
back then, I wasn't ready yet.

Mm-hmm.

So, can we just consider
ourselves a work in progress?

Okay. We can consider ourselves
a… "work in progress."

[laughing]

[both] Uh… Uh…

Ooh!

There.

I guess my job here is done!

So, Joyce, you want to come
inside and have some spiked tea?

No, no, no. We
are not there yet.

I'd rather go back to my
hotel and sleep all this off.

Oh, can someone give me a ride?

[chuckles] No, no, no.
We're not there yet.

I'll call you a Uber.

[upbeat music plays]

♪ Yeah, yeah, yeah, oh ♪

What is it about our
family and raccoons?

I don't know. But I'm
over my fear of them.

Nothing can hurt me now.

Aw, my brave warrior.

Once your face heals,
I'm going to kiss it.

You may now kiss your bride.

[Maybelle] Oh.

Don't break a hip.
