Queen Sugar (2016–…): Season 7, Episode 6 - Soothing Electric Vibration - full transcript
[narrator] previously
on queen sugar...
Sandy leflore,
- will you marry me?
- Yes, darling.
[hollywood] you know we've been
talking about fostering, right?
Maybe this is our chance.
Foster children can't
live with an ex-felon.
[dr. Roberts] just
wanna be real with you.
My record ain't clean but
I live a clean life now.
We good people.
Look at the bids.
It's up to $100,000.
Take that down.
[man] we hooked a whale, bro.
He wants to commission
more of your work.
I've been approached to adapt
blessings and blood
in two movies.
I relapsed because
of you and that book.
Are you crazy?
[dramatic music playing]
you sleep okay?
- Barely.
- Hmm.
The street kept me up all night.
How about you?
Not really.
I know it doesn't
feel like home...
But it will.
We'll make it home.

[sighs]
hmm. [exhales]
dude, put the phone down.
Relax.
There's a big day ahead of us.
Now, kai is one of the
sickest investors in the game.
You gotta be ready.
My parents are pissed at me.
Pissed doesn't even...
I shouldn't have
posted that nft.
You shouldn't have
posted the biggest sale
in ivory's history?
Bro, without that,
we wouldn't be here.
You made this happen.
It's your time...
To create, to innovate, to win.
I hear you.
You know, I feel you. But...
It's all at their expense.
Art is meant to
start a conversation.
You can't please everybody.
If you do, you're
probably not say much.
Look, you told me that
your mom was fighting
to reunite undocumented
kids, right?
Yeah. She's with
my dad right now.
Touring this like refugee
site at the border.
Take some of the money you made.
Make a big splashy donation
to one of those
groups she works with.
A big one. Do it publicly.
That way you make
it up to your mom
and you understood
the conversation.
You're all about
art and activism.
That's the way you can do both,
while you feed the other.
It'd be a thing.
[singer] ♪ tell
me what you like ♪
♪ tell me what you... ♪
what is all of this?
Eggs, bacon, cheese grits,
and I have a cinnamon
roll in the oven.
Just my way to say thank you.
Girl, you didn't have to.
- I wanted to. Sit.
- [nova chuckles]
also, that came for
you this morning.
Oh, it's from my
mother's cousin, martha.
She sends me fresh cuttings
soon as they bloom.
Is that the one you
found out about on tv?
Yup. The last of
my momma's line.
Smell this.
It's heaven.
- Oh.
- [nova chuckles]
and, you know, I didn't know
you could throw down like this.
I would've had you stay
over a long time ago.
Yeah. Well, a little
something, something
before I make myself scarce.
I mean, what did jill say
about your man coming through?
Yeah. Yeah.
Yeah. Well...
That'll have to be the theme
song for when he gets back
'cause that ain't
happening tonight.
[woman] wait. What happened?
Well, his trip to sudan
got extended, again.
They didn't fly out
yesterday as planned
and now won't leave until
next week, possibly.
I'm sorry. I know you
really wanted to see him.
I mean, I had a whole
evening planned out.
I got tickets to a new
show at the sanger.
You know, an actual
date, you know?
I facetimed...
But, um, you wanna come?
Um, actually I have a date.
Trombone shorty.
- His name is trevor.
- Hmm.
And, yeah, we're
going out tonight.
- It is just a date, nova.
- Okay.
No, no, no. I
gotta get out there
and experience things.
- Absolutely.
- [woman] mmm-hmm.
To trying new things.
I had to.
New things.
[hollywood] all right.
Now, give me that
wrench right there.
All right. You
keep on playing,
we'd never get that
thing out in the water.
See, how you like
fishing in that yard.
See how many you catch.
Yup, that's more like
it. Take that with you.
- Thank you.
- [true crying]
what's wrong? What's wrong?
- Hi.
- Oh, lord. Dante,
you're gonna spoil that
girl something rotten.
I can't help it.
She's so cute.
You know, I always
wanted a little sister.
I think I could be
a good big brother.
Well, I know you're
a good big cousin
'cause we'll be family.
Isn't that right, true?
Yeah. Yeah. I'm
your cousin now.
Guess what? You don't have
to worry about anything
'cause I'm here to protect you.
You know, the same way
that you look out for true,
that's how me and ms. Violet
look out for you and joaquin.
You don't have to worry
about doing anything
all alone anymore.
Hey, dante, I mean that.
Anything that's on your mind,
somebody bothering
you at school,
well, whatever it
is, just let me know.
I got your back.
Why do you say that?
Like about school?
Did you hear something?
I didn't hear anything.
Something you wanna talk about?
Something on your mind?
No.
No. Uh...
I think she needs
her doll, so...
Dante.
Dante.
- What is that all about?
- Oh.
Something going
on at that school.
I don't know what it is
yet, but I'mma find out.
I know you all wondering
why we asked you to
meet us here today,
so I'll jump right to it.
We all saw what happened to
ms. Parthena at that auction.
Them landrys,
they're not gonna stop.
The only way to
survive at this point
is to be self-sufficient.
We gotta take care of ourselves.
This mill...
This mill got value
and it's ours
if we want it
to get from charlie,
to the co-op.
You're not talking about trying
to start this thing
up again, are you?
[darla] no. Just for now,
the co-op will use it
to build our inventory
and add to our overholdings.
Move the books to our gains
and we ain't gotta pay for it.
Right. We just maintain it
and reap the benefits
of the tax advantage
while showing that we control
a very large and potentially
lucrative company.
But who's gonna look after it?
None of us got time for that.
Yeah. It's gonna need tending
whether it's operating
or not, won't it?
Look, darla, she helped
charlie the first time.
She know this place better
than anybody, right?
Mmm-hmm. I'm just
gonna tidy it up
and make it look good and
clean for any investors
or partners who might
be in our future.
[man] no disrespect,
ms. Darla.
We all appreciate
what you've be doing,
you know, with the
books, whatnot,
but getting a mill on its feet,
that's something else.
[woman] you all ain't
hearing what she's saying.
- Mmm-hmm.
- Listen close.
She's talking about
sprucing it up
and sitting on it.
And that's a good thought now
that we don't have my farm.
We need to show
that we have land.
This is a good piece.
If I'm still a
member of this co-op,
I vote that we lean into this.
And now that I have
time on my hands,
- I hope you'll let me help.
- Appreciate that.
- Thank you.
- That's all well and good
but somebody's gonna
have to be there.
- Yeah.
- She's still talking
about letting people come in
and do the work.
[overlapping chatter]
[dramatic music playing]
when you meet this
guy, you're gonna...
- Hey.
- What's up, bro?
This must be the wonder kid.
Oh, no, man. I don't
know about that
but I am excited to talk to you.
You're last nft, fire.
- Thank you.
- [man] what's next?
You got anything from
when your mom paid off
that side piece?
Nah, I don't... I don't
have anything like that.
Yeah. My bad. No disrespect.
I just thought it made sense,
you know, after the first one.
Yeah. Uh, micah's
next few projects
are gonna be capitalized
on his mom's campaign.
Really? Now, that
is interesting.
You know, political nfts
are kind of a landmine, man.
But when they explode...
[mimics explosion]
[man chuckles]
- so what's the angle?
- All right.
Well, I'm all about moving
the culture forward, you know?
So, uh...
I've been studying with this
guy named rahad stevens.
- He's a photographer.
- [man] ooh.
[man] all his stuff
is next level.
You know, it's about disrupting,
reclaiming, rewriting
the narrative.
Disrupting, reclaim.
That is dope.
We rolling, boys?
Hell, yeah. Hell, yeah.
Gotta relax, relate.
Micah?
Um...
Yeah, yeah.
All right.
That's what I'm talking about.
Let's make some money.
Let me give you this
mail before I forget.
Oh, thank you.
I'm, uh, still switching
everything over.
Look, take your time.
I'm just glad you
all are still close.
We missed you. Hmm?
That house is so
quiet without true.
I almost overslept this morning.
She was my little alarm clock.
Six o'clock on the dot.
All right.
So here is your
gross for last month,
minus supplies and expensive,
and that is your profit.
All that is from
the farmer's market?
Oh, my god, violet, you
pretty much sell out
within the hour, every time.
- It's something, ain't it?
- Mmm-hmm.
Folks lining up for my pies.
For your pies.
You know, sometimes
we get so caught up
striving for our dreams
that we forget we're
living inside of them.
Mmm-hmm.
We human beings always
want more and more.
Sometimes you just have to sit
with people that we
love and take it all in.
Baby, two favorites, please.
[woman] mmm-hmm.
Are we about to have some
blue's berries pies, madam?
Yes, we are, my dear.
It's our best seller.
Thank you, baby.
Thank you, darla.
Vi's pies would not be
on this track if
it weren't for you.
Your farmer's market vision
gave us a whole
new revenue stream.
I wish everyone saw
me the way you do.
All right.
Tell me which one of those
old farmers has doubt in you.
Give me his name so I can
talk some sense into him.
I just get so tired
having to prove myself
over and over again.
Me too.
But we persist,
'cause we gotta do
what we gotta do.
And right this moment
what we got to do
is eat some pie.
Yes, we do.
Hey.
Nova, hey. Thanks
for coming early.
Of course. Everything okay?
I'm getting complaints.
Some of the parents
are up in arms
about you speaking
here, calling it crt.
- United states history?
- Exactly.
Now, my hands as a
teacher here are tied,
but I won't let them tie
up my voice as a citizen.
There has to be some way to
resist this from the inside.
Well, my first instinct is
to fight fire with fire,
but I don't wanna put you
or your job in danger.
I don't think teaching
history as it happened
should be predicated
on anyone's comfort.
- Hmm.
- But
this is what we're up against,
if you're up for it.
I am, definitely.
Non-disclosure agreement.
Chase.
[man] you think I'm
gonna let some crackhead
slip ruin my life?
I will take you and
your family down.

As long as leon's open,
you can count on it.
Oh, uh...
Billie is picking up supplies
for your, big party tomorrow.
[woman] oh. I never imagine
having a bachelorette
party at my age.
What about you?
Is ralph angel and hollywood
putting out all the stops?
Nah. Nothing too fancy.
Just some guys hanging out.
No strippers?
You don't have anything
to worry about, dear.
- Mmm-hmm.
- No, no way
hollywood pull
something like that
and have to answer to vi after.
That man ain't crazy.
Now parthena, on the other hand,
she gonna hire every
stripper in st. Joe
to be at your party.
Oh. So how many are there?
You sure you're okay with
how fast all this is moving?
Why would you ask a
question like that?
You know how I feel about you.
You know, I know I
proposed early on
because I've been
around long enough
to know that what we have
don't come that often
and I don't wanna
miss a minute of it.
Oh.
Me neither, honey.
This isn't fast.
This right here is perfect.
So we got chloe and halle,
megan, billie eilish.
Who else are you
guys listening to?
Cordae, dababy,
jack harlow, lil durk.
Oh, all right.
Rnb, pop, hip-hop.
You have great taste.
Does anyone know what these
genres have in common?
They can all trace their
roots back to the blues.
Same with country,
rock, even k-pop.
And before the blues,
there were ring shouts.
That's a ritual
that was performed
by enslaved people in america.
You mean slaves?
Well, I prefer to
call our ancestors
enslaved people
instead of slaves.
The word slaves
continues to strip them
of their humanity.
They were people.
Not property, not animals, okay?
So ring shouts were super
revolutionary and dangerous.
The church back then banned
us from using our drums
so we made rhythms with
our hands and feet instead.
We would chant our
prayers and move
in a counterclockwise circle
without ever crossing our feet,
because that will be
considered dancing,
and dancing was forbidden.
Now, check this out.
This is john lee hooker,
blues singer, songwriter,
guitarist, legend.
And that chalkboard
behind him shows
how the ring shout gave
birth to spirituals,
which laid the
foundation for the blues
and every other
genre after that.
Now, I want you to listen
to your favorite song
and then listen to
an old blues song.
Pay attention to the
guitars and the rhythms.
See if you can hear
the similarities.
You might be surprised.
I'm darla and...
I'm an addict.
I've been, um,
dealing with
someone from my past
and I've been hiding
it from my husband
because I don't
know what he'll do.
I take that back.
I don't know all
of what he'll do.
Now, I know that
he will love me,
forgive me,
but I don't know what he'll
do to the other person
and I don't want
him doing anything
that'll get himself in trouble.
He has worked so hard.
Are you afraid you're
going to use again?
Today was hard.
It was really hard.
I, uh,
I almost stopped at a bar
but I came here instead.
But I was close.
I know he's gonna ask
me what triggered me.
I can't tell him.
Keeping secrets is
like keeping poison.
Can you consider a way
that you can unburden yourself?
Share your truth with him.
Maybe.
I can't say that right now.
But, uh,
I'll try to think it through.
I'll try.
It's just that, um,
we've worked really hard
to get to where we're at, and...
We're at a shaky at best.
It's already been so hard.
I can't, um, risk
one more thing, so...
I'll think about it.

thank you for letting me share.

bro, you are killing

The guy said he's willing to buy

How are you feeling
about life right now?
Oh, it's pretty all right.
That was really good.
Yo, we're a good team.
This could be a thing.
We'll have private
jets, vip sections.
Now, all we gotta do is
keep selling that fire, bro.

[woman] micah
west. Micah west.
- Would you like a pic?
- Yeah.
- Okay.
- Yeah, squeeze in, squeeze in.
Of course. Micah, right here.
Hey, y'all look
great, by the way.
[woman 1] thanks. Bye, micah.
[woman 2] bye.
- Hey, excuse me.
- [woman] yeah?
Can I get another
round for everybody?
I mean, everybody.
Try putting it on there.

[song continues]
are you done?
Now, I don't wanna do
this here, but I will.
Uh, excuse me. Who are you?
Yo, chill, man. That's...
She's my grandma.
Let's go... Now.
♪ I ain't got time to play ♪

how did you even find me?
Those random people
that you're with
kept taking pictures and
tagging your parents.
And your mother called me
and asked me to find you
before you create another mess.
- Are they mad?
- What do you think?
- Where are you going?
- The guest bedroom.
- I'm exhausted.
- Uh-uh.
Now, I drove all
the way to hollywood
to retrieve my grandson
who I've not seen in
person in two years
and seven months and
who's gonna fix his face
and he's gonna explain himself
before he goes anywhere.
Now, drink that please.
You look dehydrated.
Why aren't you returning
your parents calls?
I didn't wanna bother them.
You don't wanna face them.
What were you thinking?
It's art, grandma.
It's subversive.
I was trying to
reclaim our pain and...
[sighs] you just
wouldn't understand.
This is art.
- You kept that?
- Of course.
You were so excited to show me.
You sent that fedex so
I'd get it the next day.
You have a gift, micah.
You see things
other people don't
and you make us stop and
pay attention to things.
But be careful how you use it.
[dramatic music playing]
I just don't know
where I fit in.
You know, dad has basketball
and mom has always been a boss.
You're not the first person
to hit a rough patch,
but there's a difference
between passion
and purpose and
posturing and pretending.
You're too brilliant
to be the latter.
And when I saw what you
did with that horrible,
that hurtful nft
and with those people tonight,
that is not you.
That is not your spirit.
That is not from your heart.
How much did you make
selling that nft anyway?
$200,000.
That's a lot of money.
[sighs]
but was it worth the price
of your mother's tears?
Tell me what you've been up to?
I've been working on bringing
the grocery to lower 9th.
Yeah, we have a meeting
with the regional
manager next week.
She the last person
who gotta sign off.
Too's been helping me get
the paperwork squared away.
Putting that collage
education to work.
[chuckles] we just trying to
make changes on the ground.
[both chuckles]
so what you've been
up to these days?
You're always working on
something for the people.
I just finished a series
on the thibodaux massacre.
I had an offer to turn
my book into a movie,
but that's on ice.
I'm not sure what's next.
I'm feeling a little
aimless, honestly.
A movie deal?
Damn.
You really did get fancy
since you left the knight.
Hey, it's not being fancy.
I just wanted to keep
growing and expand.
I hear you.
I wasn't trying to
say nothing sideways.
But if you wanna grow,
you have to tend to your
roots on the ground.
- You talked to your ol' boy?
- [keke] mmm-hmm.
- [indistinct]
- [keke chuckles] oh.
Not since he turned himself in.
Turned himself in?
[sighs] ceremonial.
That's sound like a tv
show designed just for you.
Yeah. Maybe.
- So what happened?
- Nothing.
You know, blue protects itself.
Last I heard, he moved
back to baton rouge.
Don't know much else.
I was a man's man for a minute.
You done with that for good?
- I got a new somebody.
- Mmm-hmm.
And it's really strong.
Mmm-hmm. Black?
[laughter]
yes.
Okay. [laughs] okay. Okay.
I'm just saying. Black
love is beautiful.
Oh, love is beautiful.
If you can get it from
anywhere, grab it.
Word.
- You're right.
- Yeah.
That's how I live my life.
[laughter]
[ralph sighs]
- is she asleep?
- Knocked out.
I see billie got
you on balloon duty.
I am.
I got this for you to blow.
You're quiet all night.
[clear throat] ready
to talk about it?
The, um,
the reason why I missed
true's appointment today,
I went into a meeting.
Did you slip?
No.
I got ahead of it
before I relapsed.
Because of what happened
earlier at the mill?
No. Um...
More than that.
Um, it's a lot of things.
Every time I keep
something from you,
it always ends up messed up.
Take some advice from a pro.
You good?
It's just a lot of things.
I'm not gonna push.
[darla] thank you.
Effective immediately.
Sha said he'll let me
know in a few weeks
whether they'll lift the
suspension or terminate me.
We're getting death threats
for teaching the
history of music.
We're talking about the blues.
They're calling a
school board meeting
to vote on banning your work,
along with toni morrison
and now john lee hooker.
This is insane.
Actual insanity.
We can't back down.
No way. We need to
focus on making sure
our allies on the school
board keep their seats.
Yeah. No, I know some
folks who can help us
get that boat out.
They crossed the wrong one
in the wrong small
louisiana town.
- Sounds right to me.
- Hmm.
Good morning.
I just wanted to
say thanks again.
You still need to
apologize to your parents.
I know. I will.
Do you know when they
get back from the border?
Next week.
But you need to call
them this morning.
I will.
'cause they're making a
real difference, micah.
Their name value is drawing
such needed attention
and all this that you are doing
is just pulling focus.
Wait.
You know rahad stevens.
It's crazy. I'm taking a
class with him right now.
Well, when I saw it,
it reminded me of you.
That's why I bought it.
That's dope, grandma.
You know you never
cease to amaze me.
- Yes. Good.
- [micah chuckles]
I just feel like
if I can make half
the impact with my art
that he has...
You will.
You're just saying that
'cause you're my grandma.
If I wasn't your grandma,
I would be saving up right now
to buy my own micah west piece.
And since I am your grandma,
I better get a good discount.
- I'll overnight it to you.
- Oh. Yeah.
Yeah.
- [laughter]
- [upbeat music playing]
[tina] maybe.
Oh, with a little
hip action now.
- All right. Okay.
- Okay. Ladies.
- Go ahead.
- Mmm-hmm. I got one.
Never have I ever
been nude in public.
Uh...
[charley] uh, what?
What was you doing now?
Don't worry about all that.
- [laughter]
- seems like I'm the only here
- who's lived a full life.
- So I thought
I was doing all
right but I see I got
a lot of catching up to do.
- All right, then.
- We all do.
Ladies, I have to tell
you it is so wonderful.
I know that this party is
for sandy but I needed it.
It's been so long
since I've laughed.
And the only thing
that would make this any better
would be one or two strippers.
[laughter]
I don't know how joaquin
and dante got you
to sleep this
early. They did it.
Joaquin was extra salty.
He had to babysit tonight.
That boy actually
thought he was going
to his first bachelor party.
I'mma rub it in to him too.
I'mma tell him it's wild night.
[laughs] yeah, we sure
had some those back in the day.
- [hollywood] mmm-hmm.
- [sighs]
but now I'm happy
just hanging out
with you fellas.
Yeah, we glad to be
with you tonight.
- To you, mr. Prosper.
- Yes. And this guy.
Benny! Bring the
cards out, baby.
- [benny] oh.
- Hey. Listen, uh,
can I ask you something?
- You okay, mr. Prosper?
- Yeah. Yeah.
Look, ernest was my best friend
and he was the best man
when I married clair.
And it would mean a lot if
you stood up there with me
when I marry sandy in
place of your father.
You serious?
I mean, that would be
a honor, mr. Prosper.
I wouldn't miss
it for the world.
You doing it, huh?
Congratulations.
- Thank you, prosper.
- Thank you. Thank you.
Never thought I'd be here again.
I got you.
[exhales] couldn't be happier.
To you.
[laughter]
you know, I never thought
that I would be 42
and single again.
Girl, 42, you're
just getting started.
Trust me.
Listen, finding love
at a seasoned age
is one of the greatest
surprises life has to offer.
Mmm-hmm.
I would never have appreciated
a man like hollywood
- when I was young and dumb.
- Mmm-hmm.
Age brings freedom because
you don't have time
to worry about what
other people think.
Mmm-hmm. Freedom makes
it all so much better.
Oh, honey, and the loving.
[tina laughs] yes. Yes.
I don't think I need to hear it.
- Yes.
- No.
[laughter]
I wonder if the guys are
having this much fun?
Well, there's one way
for us to find out.
- All right. I'll drive.
- Yay!
[tina] okay.

Now, kai is one of the
sickest investors in the game.
You gotta be ready.
My parents are pissed at me.
Pissed doesn't even...
I shouldn't have
posted that nft.
You shouldn't have
posted the biggest sale
in ivory's history?
Bro, without that,
we wouldn't be here.
You made this happen.
It's your time...
To create, to innovate, to win.
I hear you.
You know, I feel you. But...
It's all at their expense.
Art is meant to
start a conversation.
You can't please everybody.
If you do, you're
probably not say much.
Look, you told me that
your mom was fighting
to reunite undocumented
kids, right?
Yeah. She's with
my dad right now.
Touring this like refugee
site at the border.
Take some of the money you made.
Make a big splashy donation
to one of those
groups she works with.
A big one. Do it publicly.
That way you make
it up to your mom
and you understood
the conversation.
You're all about
art and activism.
That's the way you can do both,

- [nova chuckles]
also, that came for
you this morning.
Oh, it's from my
mother's cousin, martha.
She sends me fresh cuttings

Is that the one you

Yup. The last of

something, something
before I make myself scarce.
I mean, what did jill say
about your man coming through?
Yeah. Yeah.
Yeah. Well...
That'll have to be the theme
song for when he gets back
'cause that ain't
happening tonight.
[woman] wait. What happened?
Well, his trip to sudan
got extended, again.
They didn't fly out
yesterday as planned
and now won't leave until
next week, possibly.
I'm sorry. I know you
really wanted to see him.
I mean, I had a whole
evening planned out.
I got tickets to a new
show at the sanger.
You know, an actual
date, you know?
I facetimed...
But, um, you wanna come?
Um, actually I have a date.
Trombone shorty.
- His name is trevor.
- Hmm.
And, yeah, we're
going out tonight.
- It is just a date, nova.
- Okay.
No, no, no. I
gotta get out there
and experience things.
- Absolutely.
- [woman] mmm-hmm.
To trying new things.
I had to.
New things.
[hollywood] all right.
Now, give me that
wrench right there.
All right. You
keep on playing,
we'd never get that
thing out in the water.
See, how you like
fishing in that yard.
See how many you catch.
Yup, that's more like
it. Take that with you.
- Thank you.
- [true crying]
what's wrong? What's wrong?
- Hi.
- Oh, lord. Dante,
you're gonna spoil that
girl something rotten.
I can't help it.
She's so cute.
You know, I always
wanted a little sister.
I think I could be
a good big brother.
Well, I know you're
a good big cousin
'cause we'll be family.
Isn't that right, true?
Yeah. Yeah. I'm
your cousin now.
Guess what? You don't have
to worry about anything
'cause I'm here to protect you.
You know, the same way
that you look out for true,
that's how me and ms. Violet
look out for you and joaquin.
You don't have to worry
about doing anything
all alone anymore.
Hey, dante, I mean that.
Anything that's on your mind,
somebody bothering
you at school,
well, whatever it
is, just let me know.
I got your back.
Why do you say that?
Like about school?
Did you hear something?
I didn't hear anything.
Something you wanna talk about?
Something on your mind?
No.
No. Uh...
I think she needs
her doll, so...
Dante.
Dante.
- What is that all about?
- Oh.
Something going
on at that school.
I don't know what it is
yet, but I'mma find out.
I know you all wondering
why we asked you to
meet us here today,
so I'll jump right to it.
We all saw what happened to
ms. Parthena at that auction.
Them landrys,
they're not gonna stop.
The only way to
survive at this point
is to be self-sufficient.
We gotta take care of ourselves.
This mill...
This mill got value
and it's ours
if we want it
to get from charlie,
to the co-op.
You're not talking about trying
to start this thing
up again, are you?
[darla] no. Just for now,
the co-op will use it
to build our inventory
and add to our overholdings.
Move the books to our gains
and we ain't gotta pay for it.
Right. We just maintain it
and reap the benefits
of the tax advantage
while showing that we control
a very large and potentially
lucrative company.
But who's gonna look after it?
None of us got time for that.
Yeah. It's gonna need tending
whether it's operating
or not, won't it?
Look, darla, she helped
charlie the first time.
She know this place better
than anybody, right?
Mmm-hmm. I'm just
gonna tidy it up
and make it look good and
clean for any investors
or partners who might
be in our future.
[man] no disrespect,
ms. Darla.
We all appreciate
what you've be doing,
you know, with the
books, whatnot,
but getting a mill on its feet,
that's something else.
[woman] you all ain't
hearing what she's saying.
- Mmm-hmm.
- Listen close.
She's talking about
sprucing it up
and sitting on it.
And that's a good thought now
that we don't have my farm.
We need to show
that we have land.
This is a good piece.
If I'm still a
member of this co-op,
I vote that we lean into this.
And now that I have
time on my hands,
- I hope you'll let me help.
- Appreciate that.
- Thank you.
- That's all well and good
but somebody's gonna
have to be there.
- Yeah.
- She's still talking
about letting people come in
and do the work.
[overlapping chatter]
[dramatic music playing]
when you meet this
guy, you're gonna...
- Hey.
- What's up, bro?
This must be the wonder kid.
Oh, no, man. I don't
know about that
but I am excited to talk to you.
You're last nft, fire.
- Thank you.
- [man] what's next?
You got anything from
when your mom paid off
that side piece?
Nah, I don't... I don't
have anything like that.
Yeah. My bad. No disrespect.
I just thought it made sense,
you know, after the first one.
Yeah. Uh, micah's
next few projects
are gonna be capitalized
on his mom's campaign.
Really? Now, that
is interesting.
You know, political nfts
are kind of a landmine, man.
But when they explode...
[mimics explosion]
[man chuckles]
- so what's the angle?
- All right.
Well, I'm all about moving
the culture forward, you know?
So, uh...
I've been studying with this
guy named rahad stevens.
- He's a photographer.
- [man] ooh.
[man] all his stuff
is next level.
You know, it's about disrupting,
reclaiming, rewriting
the narrative.
Disrupting, reclaim.
That is dope.
We rolling, boys?
Hell, yeah. Hell, yeah.
Gotta relax, relate.
Micah?
Um...
Yeah, yeah.
All right.
That's what I'm talking about.
Let's make some money.
Let me give you this
mail before I forget.
Oh, thank you.
I'm, uh, still switching
everything over.
Look, take your time.
I'm just glad you
all are still close.
We missed you. Hmm?
That house is so
quiet without true.
I almost overslept this morning.
She was my little alarm clock.
Six o'clock on the dot.
All right.
So here is your
gross for last month,
minus supplies and expensive,
and that is your profit.
All that is from
the farmer's market?
Oh, my god, violet, you
pretty much sell out
within the hour, every time.
- It's something, ain't it?
- Mmm-hmm.
Folks lining up for my pies.
For your pies.
You know, sometimes
we get so caught up
striving for our dreams
that we forget we're
living inside of them.
Mmm-hmm.
We human beings always
want more and more.
Sometimes you just have to sit
with people that we
love and take it all in.
Baby, two favorites, please.
[woman] mmm-hmm.
Are we about to have some
blue's berries pies, madam?
Yes, we are, my dear.
It's our best seller.
Thank you, baby.
Thank you, darla.
Vi's pies would not be
on this track if
it weren't for you.
Your farmer's market vision
gave us a whole
new revenue stream.
I wish everyone saw
me the way you do.
All right.
Tell me which one of those
old farmers has doubt in you.
Give me his name so I can
talk some sense into him.
I just get so tired
having to prove myself
over and over again.
Me too.
But we persist,
'cause we gotta do
what we gotta do.
And right this moment
what we got to do
is eat some pie.
Yes, we do.
Hey.
Nova, hey. Thanks
for coming early.
Of course. Everything okay?
I'm getting complaints.
Some of the parents
are up in arms
about you speaking
here, calling it crt.
- United states history?
- Exactly.
Now, my hands as a
teacher here are tied,
but I won't let them tie
up my voice as a citizen.
There has to be some way to
resist this from the inside.
Well, my first instinct is
to fight fire with fire,
but I don't wanna put you
or your job in danger.
I don't think teaching
history as it happened
should be predicated
on anyone's comfort.
- Hmm.
- But
this is what we're up against,
if you're up for it.
I am, definitely.
Non-disclosure agreement.
Chase.
[man] you think I'm
gonna let some crackhead
slip ruin my life?
I will take you and
your family down.

You sure you're okay with
how fast all this is moving?
Why would you ask a
question like that?
You know how I feel about you.
You know, I know I
proposed early on
because I've been
around long enough
to know that what we have
don't come that often
and I don't wanna
miss a minute of it.
Oh.
Me neither, honey.
This isn't fast.
This right here is perfect.
So we got chloe and halle,
megan, billie eilish.
Who else are you
guys listening to?
Cordae, dababy,
jack harlow, lil durk.
Oh, all right.
Rnb, pop, hip-hop.
You have great taste.
Does anyone know what these
genres have in common?
They can all trace their
roots back to the blues.
Same with country,
rock, even k-pop.
And before the blues,
there were ring shouts.
That's a ritual
that was performed
by enslaved people in america.
You mean slaves?
Well, I prefer to
call our ancestors
enslaved people
instead of slaves.
The word slaves
continues to strip them
of their humanity.
They were people.
Not property, not animals, okay?
So ring shouts were super
revolutionary and dangerous.
The church back then banned
us from using our drums
so we made rhythms with
our hands and feet instead.
We would chant our
prayers and move
in a counterclockwise circle
without ever crossing our feet,
because that will be
considered dancing,
and dancing was forbidden.
Now, check this out.
This is john lee hooker,
blues singer, songwriter,
guitarist, legend.
And that chalkboard
behind him shows
how the ring shout gave
birth to spirituals,
which laid the
foundation for the blues
and every other
genre after that.
Now, I want you to listen
to your favorite song
and then listen to
an old blues song.
Pay attention to the
guitars and the rhythms.
See if you can hear
the similarities.
You might be surprised.
I'm darla and...
I'm an addict.
I've been, um,
dealing with
someone from my past
and I've been hiding
it from my husband
because I don't
know what he'll do.
I take that back.
I don't know all
of what he'll do.
Now, I know that
he will love me,
forgive me,
but I don't know what he'll
do to the other person
and I don't want
him doing anything
that'll get himself in trouble.
He has worked so hard.
Are you afraid you're
going to use again?
Today was hard.
It was really hard.
I, uh,
I almost stopped at a bar
but I came here instead.
But I was close.
I know he's gonna ask
me what triggered me.
I can't tell him.
Keeping secrets is
like keeping poison.
Can you consider a way
that you can unburden yourself?
Share your truth with him.
Maybe.
I can't say that right now.
But, uh,
I'll try to think it through.
I'll try.
It's just that, um,
we've worked really hard
to get to where we're at, and...
We're at a shaky at best.

You're too brilliant

And when I saw what you
did with that horrible,
that hurtful nft
and with those people tonight,
that is not you.
That is not your spirit.
That is not from your heart.
How much did you make

$200,000.
That's a lot of money.

so what you've been
up to these days?
You're always working on
something for the people.
I just finished a series
on the thibodaux massacre.
I had an offer to turn
my book into a movie,
but that's on ice.
I'm not sure what's next.
I'm feeling a little
aimless, honestly.
A movie deal?
Damn.
You really did get fancy
since you left the knight.
Hey, it's not being fancy.
I just wanted to keep
growing and expand.
I hear you.
I wasn't trying to
say nothing sideways.
But if you wanna grow,
you have to tend to your
roots on the ground.
- You talked to your ol' boy?
- [keke] mmm-hmm.
- [indistinct]
- [keke chuckles] oh.
Not since he turned himself in.
Turned himself in?
[sighs] ceremonial.
That's sound like a tv
show designed just for you.
Yeah. Maybe.
- So what happened?
- Nothing.
You know, blue protects itself.
Last I heard, he moved
back to baton rouge.
Don't know much else.
I was a man's man for a minute.
You done with that for good?
- I got a new somebody.
- Mmm-hmm.
And it's really strong.
Mmm-hmm. Black?
[laughter]
yes.
Okay. [laughs] okay. Okay.
I'm just saying. Black
love is beautiful.
Oh, love is beautiful.
If you can get it from
anywhere, grab it.
Word.
- You're right.
- Yeah.
That's how I live my life.
[laughter]
[ralph sighs]
- is she asleep?
- Knocked out.
I see billie got
you on balloon duty.
I am.
I got this for you to blow.
You're quiet all night.
[clear throat] ready
to talk about it?
The, um,
the reason why I missed
true's appointment today,
I went into a meeting.
Did you slip?
No.
I got ahead of it
before I relapsed.
Because of what happened
earlier at the mill?
No. Um...
More than that.
Um, it's a lot of things.
Every time I keep
something from you,
it always ends up messed up.
Take some advice from a pro.
You good?
It's just a lot of things.
I'm not gonna push.
[darla] thank you.
Effective immediately.
Sha said he'll let me
know in a few weeks
whether they'll lift the
suspension or terminate me.
We're getting death threats
for teaching the
history of music.
We're talking about the blues.
They're calling a
school board meeting
to vote on banning your work,
along with toni morrison
and now john lee hooker.
This is insane.
Actual insanity.
We can't back down.
No way. We need to
focus on making sure
our allies on the school
board keep their seats.
Yeah. No, I know some
folks who can help us
get that boat out.
They crossed the wrong one
in the wrong small
louisiana town.
- Sounds right to me.
- Hmm.
Good morning.
I just wanted to
say thanks again.
You still need to
apologize to your parents.
I know. I will.
Do you know when they
get back from the border?
Next week.
But you need to call
them this morning.
I will.
'cause they're making a
real difference, micah.
Their name value is drawing
such needed attention
and all this that you are doing
is just pulling focus.
Wait.
You know rahad stevens.
It's crazy. I'm taking a
class with him right now.
Well, when I saw it,
it reminded me of you.
That's why I bought it.
That's dope, grandma.
You know you never
cease to amaze me.
- Yes. Good.
- [micah chuckles]
I just feel like
if I can make half
the impact with my art
that he has...
You will.
You're just saying that
'cause you're my grandma.
If I wasn't your grandma,
I would be saving up right now
to buy my own micah west piece.
And since I am your grandma,
I better get a good discount.
- I'll overnight it to you.
- Oh. Yeah.
Yeah.
- [laughter]
- [upbeat music playing]
[tina] maybe.
Oh, with a little
hip action now.
- All right. Okay.
- Okay. Ladies.
- Go ahead.
- Mmm-hmm. I got one.
Never have I ever
been nude in public.
Uh...
[charley] uh, what?
What was you doing now?
Don't worry about all that.
- [laughter]
- seems like I'm the only here
- who's lived a full life.
- So I thought
I was doing all
right but I see I got
a lot of catching up to do.
- All right, then.
- We all do.
Ladies, I have to tell
you it is so wonderful.
I know that this party is
for sandy but I needed it.
It's been so long
since I've laughed.
And the only thing
that would make this any better
would be one or two strippers.
[laughter]
I don't know how joaquin
and dante got you
to sleep this
early. They did it.
Joaquin was extra salty.
He had to babysit tonight.
That boy actually
thought he was going
to his first bachelor party.
I'mma rub it in to him too.
I'mma tell him it's wild night.
[laughs] yeah, we sure
had some those back in the day.
- [hollywood] mmm-hmm.
- [sighs]
but now I'm happy
just hanging out
with you fellas.
Yeah, we glad to be
with you tonight.
- To you, mr. Prosper.
- Yes. And this guy.
Benny! Bring the
cards out, baby.
- [benny] oh.
- Hey. Listen, uh,
can I ask you something?
- You okay, mr. Prosper?
- Yeah. Yeah.
Look, ernest was my best friend
and he was the best man
when I married clair.
And it would mean a lot if
you stood up there with me
when I marry sandy in
place of your father.
You serious?
I mean, that would be
a honor, mr. Prosper.
I wouldn't miss
it for the world.
You doing it, huh?
Congratulations.
- Thank you, prosper.
- Thank you. Thank you.
Never thought I'd be here again.
I got you.
[exhales] couldn't be happier.
To you.
[laughter]
you know, I never thought
that I would be 42
and single again.
Girl, 42, you're
just getting started.
Trust me.
Listen, finding love
at a seasoned age
is one of the greatest
surprises life has to offer.
Mmm-hmm.
I would never have appreciated
a man like hollywood
- when I was young and dumb.
- Mmm-hmm.
Age brings freedom because
you don't have time
to worry about what
other people think.
Mmm-hmm. Freedom makes
it all so much better.
Oh, honey, and the loving.
[tina laughs] yes. Yes.
I don't think I need to hear it.
- Yes.
- No.
[laughter]
I wonder if the guys are
having this much fun?
Well, there's one way
for us to find out.
- All right. I'll drive.
- Yay!
[tina] okay.
[knock on door]
you expecting somebody else?
I don't know.
All right. Now, I told
sandy there weren't gonna be
no strippers so none of y'all
brought no strippers here.
