Raven's Home (2017–…): Season 3, Episode 3 - Smoky Flow - full transcript

Raven's Home was filmed in front
of a live studio audience.

Okay, we haven't had
Chelsea's cooking in months,

so we're gonna drink this milk
to coat our stomachs.

- Everybody ready?
- Yeah.

Okay, bottoms up!

Okay, I thought we'd start
with an amuse-bouche.

These are medjool dates
stuffed with goat cheese.

Aunt Chelsea, I'll pass.

I don't eat anything
I can't pronounce.

I don't eat dates,

I just go on 'em.



Staring at Rihanna posters
isn't a date.

Listen, you guys,

I know I was
a horrible cook before,

but on the cruise ship
I studied with, like,

all the famous French chefs,
including...

Chef Pierre.

Anyway, um...

Bon appetite!

- Come on, guys. Let's give it a try.
- Yeah.

- This is delicious!
- Yeah?

Who are you?

And what have you
done with my mother?

- Hey, Aunt Chelsea, this is bomb.
- Yeah?

Aunt Chelsea,
as the French say,



this is yum-yum-yum!

Thank you!

Really, Chels? It took you
six months to learn

how to stick some goat cheese
inside of date

and call it a amu-am-am,
call it a ama-ama...

No.

I'm also preparing
a 14-course meal.

Season 03 Episode 03
Episode Title: "Smoky Flow"

Tess, you making beats
or babysitting police dogs?

I'm making beats.

We're gonna need them to win
that Radio Eclipse Live contest.

That better be good enough
to win that 25,000

dolla-dolla bills, y'all!

Ignore the camera.

I'm getting BTS.

That's "behind the scenes"
in director talk.

Behind the scenes of what?

I mean, we don't even
have a name yet.

Uh, we do have a name.

"Booker and the Bookettes."

That's funny.

Oh, you're serious?

- No.
- No.

And they're not even called
"groups" anymore, you know?

They're more like "collectives."

- Like a collection of talents.
- Oh, that's what's up, Nia!

- Yeah, we take... we take "Chicago"...
- Mm-hmm.

And "collective,"
we put it together...

- Yeah?
- And we're the "Chi-lective."

- Oh!
- Yeah, I bring the beats.

- Okay.
- Nia brings the vocals.

And, Booker,
you bring the swag.

And, Levi...

what do you do again?

I'm gonna direct the video.

For free.

Okay, let's get started.

How long do we have
your place for?

Yeah, don't worry
about it, small fry.

My mom's working a double,

and my dad's got
a night drive to Georgia.

Wait, you mean, you have the whole
place to yourself, without any parents?

Yeah, but let's keep
that between us.

Okay? 'Cause my parents don't
want anyone up in our business.

Hey, I love it.

No parents, and we can hang here
and finish this.

Yeah, I mean, Mom is
definitely not gonna love it.

- Yeah, well, Mom's not gonna know.
- Agreed?

- Okay...
- Okay? Good.

But first, some ground rules.

Don't... spill...

or touch... anything.

Can... we... breathe?

Oh, Rae, we haven't
laid out like this in forever!

- Just us girls!
- Yeah!

So, what's the haps, huh?

What's the tea?
Spill it.

Okay, well... oh!
My dad came to visit.

I'm sorry, I just got
the funniest text

from Nikos from Mykonos.

Anyway, what else happened?

Oh, well, um...

One Halloween, Booker and I,
we switched bodies for a minute.

What? That's crazy!

- I know!
- No, Nikos just sent me a text

of the sunset we shared
on the Canary Islands.

Guess what. No canaries.

Like I was saying, um...

Let's see... I switched bodies.

I had a huge fashion

- show, too.
- Oh! Nikos is a fashion model!

Yeah.
Or he plays one

and his evil twin
on a Greek soap opera.

- You know what's funny about that, Chels?
- What?

I didn't ask.

Wow, Rae, you seem
really stressed.

On the boat we would use
mindful meditation to relax.

- You know what we do in Chicago to relax?
- Hmm?

We dream about
being on a cruise,

but we can't because
we're raising a bunch of kids.

♪ Uh, yeah ♪

♪ Okay, okay ♪

♪ Yeah, uh ♪

♪ You know what it is, uh ♪

♪ Uh-huh, uh-huh-huh,
uh-huh-huh ♪

♪ Uh, yeah ♪

♪ Boom ♪

That's all I got.

I'm gonna need you
to get a little more.

Guys, I just had
a vision.

Nia, you were dancing
around in smoke.

Smoke? Well, that's bad.

No. No, no, no,
but you seemed happy.

- What do you think it means?
- Booker, that wasn't a vision.

That was inspiration.

Yeah,
that's what we'll call our song.

Like a smoky flow.

♪ Yeah, I got that smoky flow ♪

♪ Yeah, yeah, yeah,
I'm 'bout to let 'em know ♪

Okay, okay.
All right, ready? All right.

♪ Yeah ♪

- You... you take it.
- Okay, yeah.

♪ We...
We got that smoky flow ♪

- Hey!
- Okay, okay.

Um, thought about takin' this one.
Is that okay?

♪ Yeah, we 'bout to
let 'em show ♪

- Okay!
- Oh.

- All right. Can I? Can I?
- Go on.

- Your turn.
- All right.

Words, words.

♪ We got that smoky flow ♪

- Yes!
- Nice.

♪ And we're about to
let it show ♪

Guys, I seriously thought we were gonna
have to borrow something from Drake.

Yeah, I thought I wasn't gonna
get a word in, but I did.

Hey guys, I found
a smoke machine.

Hey, a smoke machine.

Uh, maybe
that's what I saw.

- Let's use it in the video.
- Yes!

Booker, Levi, dinner's ready.

- Come on, we gotta go.
- What? We just got our flow on.

Hey, if we don't go over there,
Mom's coming over here.

Hey!

Did you get my text?
It's time for dinner.

What are we gonna do?

What if she finds out
we're here alone?

- I got this, I got this.
- Great.

- I'll just be my mom.
- Okay, okay...

Cool your jets, all right?

What y'all doin'
in there?

We're just saying bye
to Mrs. O'Malley.

Bye, Mrs. O'Malley!

Kids, get outta here!

I gotta make a pizza
for my daughter!

Mm-hmm, mm-hmm.

- Hey, Rae!
- Hey!

Hey, I noticed you
cleaned out the closet.

Did you move my wedding dress?
I can't find it.

Oh, uh, which, um...

which... which...
Which wedding, uh...

which wedding dress
are you, uh, speaking of?

The only wedding dress I have.

I wear it every Valentine's Day.

Right, right.

Hey, Chels, remember
that jacket that I made

for the British girl group
Little Mix?

Oh yeah, yeah!

Those jackets
with the Alencon lace.

What? Wait, no!

I repurposed it.
You're welcome.

How could you do that?!

Easy, with some scissors.

No...

You know that's not
what I meant!

I'm sorry, Chels, while you
were sunbathing on a cruise,

I was here with the kids,

trying to raise them
and stay afloat.

Listen, I know my seminars
were kind of unsuccessful,

but I did send back
some money.

Yeah,
and I used that to buy the scissors.

You know what?
Whatever, Rae!

Hey, where's my panini press?
I can't find that either.

Where's my 13-course meal, huh?

French cooking is a mood, okay?

And right now, I am not in it!

Seriously, where's
my panini press, huh? Huh?

What did you do?
Did you cut that up

and make a helmet for Lady Gaga?

- You know what?
- What?

Great idea, Chels!
I wish I did!

Listen, what is going on, okay?

I thought we had all that
bonding time on the Jet Ski.

- I thought we were cool.
- I thought we were going to die.

Listen, all I know is I was
excited to come back, you know?

Levi and my bestie?

But what did I come back to?

A cut-up wedding dress, you
know, a missing panini press,

and just a whole
lot of stress, okay?!

You know what?
Why don't you answer it, Chels?

Go ahead and answer it.
I'm know Nikos is probably texting you.

Oh, Nikos...

'Cause even when you're here,
you're not here, Chels.

Mom, that's not Aunt Chelsea's
phone, that's mine.

Tess just wants to know
when we're headed back over.

I think now would be
a good time.

- If you'll just excuse me.
- Wait a second. Hold up.

Wait, wait, hold on.
Hold it! Hold it!

Now, Tess's mom
seemed really annoyed.

Are you sure it's okay that you guys are
shooting that music video over there?

- Yeah, she just keeps to herself.
- Mm-hmm.

If anything, it's almost
like she's not even there.

Hey Levi,
what are you working on?

I'm sketching out my ideas.

That's what us true artists do.

Yeah, a true artist
doesn't draw stick figures.

Actually, Picasso used stick
figures in Don Quixote. -

All right guys, focus.

The lyrics are good.

But are the semi-finals good?

Smoky flow, big picture.

What is the story we're telling?

The who, the what, the why.

Um, maybe it's about the creative
flow that we've got between us.

You know, when I think
of smoky flow,

I think of smoke.

And, and... I think of flow.

And how we spit that hot fire.

That's it!

- How we spit those flames!
- Yes!

Yo, Levi, give me a beat.

to win that money

or do you want to spend the rest
of your life dancing in this?

Hey, watch it, small fry.
I live here.

♪ Okay... ♪

Please make it stop!
My ears are bleeding!

Uh, listen, Rae.
I was...

Okay, so that's
how it's gonna be.

All right, well, you're gonna have
to finish that magazine eventually,

and then you'll have to talk.

Rehearsal's up!

Kill the smoke machine!

Hey, this really was my vision.

Hey, Nia, you happy?

Yaas!

Yeah, this is our jam! Yeah!

Check out this Roger Rabbit.

You better keep that rabbit
out of this cabbage patch!

- Chels, it's smoking!
- I know, I know!

No, no, no, Chels!
It's really smoking!

The kids!

Oh my goodness! Oh my goodness!

Oh, my goodness!

with the smoke machine, too,

but, uh, you can
turn it off now.

I already did.

- Oh, my pizza! My pizza!
- Go, go, go!

Oh, the realness of it all.

We can use this.

This video's gonna be on fire!

Yeah!

That's not the only thing
that's gonna be on fire.

It's okay, my mom stocks
the fridge when she's away.

Uh-oh.

Oh, your mom's not here?

Ooh, y'all gonna get it!

You guys were in here alone?

You could've burned
the whole building down!

I wanted to tell
you that Tess's parents

are working all the time...

but they told me if I did...

I couldn't direct the video!

What? We did not say that.

And now you're lying about
lying on top of lying.

Sometimes my priorities
get mixed up!

Hey, Levi, cool it
with the fake tears, bruh.

Yeah, your
Auntie Rae's right.

- We're not buying it.
- Why did you kids lie?

Mom...

We didn't lie. No.

I mean, Tess impersonated
her mom, and she lied for us.

Nia, did you just
throw me under the bus?

Hey, sometimes a girl's gotta do
what a girl's gotta do, Tess.

I need everyone to go home.
I need to talk to Tess.

That's right. Come on.
Move it, move it.

Move it, move it.

But we have to figure out
our outfits for the video.

You're talking like somebody who's not
in trouble. Get out, get out, get out!

Tess, where do you
think you're going?

- With them.
- No, sit down.

What is going on
with your parents, Tess?

And why didn't you tell me
you were here alone?

I don't know.

I was embarrassed.

My mom had to work
extra shifts at the hospital

to help with the bills,

because my dad isn't
making the money he used to.

Tess, that's nothing to be
embarrassed about, sweetheart.

There's a lot
of people struggling.

But what I don't understand
is why you didn't tell me

you were here alone.

You could've stayed with us.

We're struggling a little bit.

My parents, they don't
want anybody to know.

We're not anybody, Tess.

We're your family,
and we love you.

So you're gonna stay with us

until your mom
and dad get back, cool?

- Cool.
- Okay.

But I'm not gonna get it
like Booker and Nia, right?

Oh, no, you gon' get it!

I don't get
disciplined too much.

- Thanks, Ms. B.
- You're welcome.

Chelsea, listen, I am tired
of the silent treatment, okay?

I'm sorry I ripped up
your wedding dress.

Oh yeah? Well,
I'm sorry you only have one wig.

No, I don't. I got like...

- Oh, really?
- Yeah.

That's okay, that's okay.

Just from this point on,

we have to promise
to be open and honest

and stop keeping things
from each other.

Okay.

It just got to be too much,
Rae, you know?

I lost everything.

My money, my house, my marriage.

I could've come back
sooner, but I...

I stayed on the ship
so long because I...

I needed to get away,
you know?

Thank you so much for taking
such good care of Levi.

Yeah, listen, um...

Now's a really good time
to tell you that

while you were gone,
I, um...

I left Levi at the mall
for two hours.

I wasn't trying to get away.
I just...

I just drove away.

Well, the important thing is,
you know, you went back to get him.

The cop had to drop
him off at home.

Rae...

While we're being honest, right?
And, you know,

the rest of the time,
I took real good care of him.

Yeah.

Well, it looks like a lot's
changed in the last six months.

- Yeah.
- But you know what hasn't changed?

You're still my bestie, Rae.

Always.

- Always.
- Always.

And I would do it all again.

I love you.

I love you.

Okay, so show me Nikos.

Okay, all right. Let me get a picture.
Hold on one second.

- Yaas.
- Yaas!

Yass!
