Single Ladies (2011–…): Season 2, Episode 14 - Finally - full transcript

Keisha comes face-to-face with a stalker and is subsequently forced to make adifficult choice between the men in her life. After meeting Charles' current flame, Padma, Raquel realizes she must confess her love or possibly lose him forever.

Previously on single ladies...

Just remember: What goes
around comes around.

This is the first time this
creep has threatened me.

I've gotten back with
my ex-girlfriend.

Mom, don't make a scene.

If you don't want a scene, then you
shouldn't be over here consorting with this

home wrecker.

You're the sweetest
guy I ever dated.

I was arrested for a dui.

You're my only call.

He needs me to go bail him out.



I'm gone.

Where have you been?

In rehab.

I hope you can forgive me.

Of course.

I'll move to New York with you.

Come here!

I think you are in denial about
your feelings for Charles.

Look, Charles, I
said I was over him.

I wish you were over him
so bad, but you're not.

And I will respect that,
but only for so long.

Oh! You idio-- oh, hi.

I am so embarrassed.

Please, forgive my clumsiness,
and accept my deepest apologies.



Allow me to help you inside.

I'm kasseem.

I'm-- absolutely,
positively radiant.

Well, I was gonna say Morgan,
but that has a nice ring to it.

Please.

Darn it.

These were my favorite heels.

Took me forever to
break these in.

I can have them repaired.

I'm not sure this shoe can
take another coat of glue.

Excuse me.

Hello?

I'll be right there.

Please, forgive me, Morgan, but I
am in a hurry to get to a meeting.

How can I make this up to you?

Really?

It was truly a
pleasure meeting you.

Aw, hell no.

The man asks how he can make this up
to you, and you just let him leave?

I didn't wanna be greedy.

Besides, it was an accident,
and he said he was sorry.

Nothing says I'm sorry
like a new pair of shoes.

And we all know if you get a new pair
of shoes, you automatically have to--

get a new bag to match.

Well, I'm glad you all can quote me,
but you need to put it into practice.

Has none of this rubbed off?

Hoo!

Parker.

I told him I liked his lips, so
then he said if I had a garden,

he would put my tulips
and his tulips together.

Never mind.

It was cute and funny, and you
had to be there, but it led to a

romantic night, and
now we're together.

Exclusively?

This is your first real
relationship since Derek.

How does it feel to
be off the market?

Feels great.

Now I don't have to avoid five
different guys on my birthday.

What?

I couldn't find a sitter.

Get over it.

Mm.

Keisha, maybe if you sent Sean some
flowers, then he'd come around.

Uh, weren't we talking
about Omar's relationship?

How did we jump to mine?

Because hasn't it been five
days since you heard from him,

and haven't you left
him a ton of messages?

Since you already know the
"t," why are you asking?

I'm assuming he's still pissed
at me for choosing Malcolm over

him, but, really,
that's not what I did.

Okay, technically, that's what
I did, but I said I'm sorry.

I even tried to call.

What else can I do?

Nothing.

Sounds like your tulips
have already done enough.

I hope you guys can
bounce back from this.

Hmm.

I don't know.

Our boat was already
getting rocky.

All those little things that
used to annoy me about him are

starting to work
my nerves again.

Sometimes, those are the very
things that can be deal-breakers.

Well, there's one deal I'm
definitely not gonna break,

and that's the one I made to
shine doing my presentation at

my real estate conference.

I'm going to go figure out
what to pack for Phoenix.

Oh, I heard it's supposed to be
115 in the shade this weekend.

Oh, and even hotter
once I get there.

Three, four, five, and
he got my size right.

This just doesn't happen.

This isn't real!

These are from that guy you
said bumped into you earlier?

But he's not screwin' around.

Mm-mmm.

What does the card say?

"Because I didn't know what you'd
like, I wanted to give you options.

My apologies again.

I would love to have
dinner with you, call me.

Kasseem."

If these fit me, you're gonna have
to come to New York to get 'em back.

Oh.

I can't believe
you're really moving.

I can't believe how fast you
and Reggie found an apartment.

I can't believe I'm not gonna
see you guys anymore every day.

I'm gonna miss you, April.

I'm gonna miss you too.

I keep thinking, "am I
doing the right thing?

Is this the right time?

Is he the right guy?"

I'm happy for you, but
sad at the same time.

First, I lose Charles.

Now you're moving.

I mean, why is this all
happening at once?

Well, in between my prayers
asking that I win the lottery

and marry the rock--whichever
you give me first is fine--

I've also been asking for
Charles to come back to you.

Thank you.

That makes two of us.

Hi.

Hi.

Uh--can we talk?

Of course.

Come in.

Who else wants
something from God?

Because I am on a roll.

It is so good to
see you, Raquel.

It's so weird you came by.

I just mentioned you.

Yeah?

Yeah.

I mention you a lot.

I guess you're, um--
you're on my mind a lot.

Well, I think of you too.

Remember how you were always on me
to go after national advertisers?

Well, I landed smirnoff.

Yeah, they think my magazine
has the right demographic.

Ah, that's great, Charles.

Yeah, they're throwing a huge
party to launch new flavors.

Plus, they bought
major ad space.

Anyway, I know it could be
awkward, and I struggled with it.

Do I invite you?

Do I not?

But padma insisted.

She says there's no reason why
we can't all be friendly.

She sounds sweet.

So please come.

I'm gonna have to think about
it and get back to you.

Yeah, sure.

Since I'm his "special friend," I just
got invited to his party, where I

can get a front row seat to watch
him and padma be a couple.

Okay, so what you gonna wear?

I'm not going.

Who wants to watch the man that
they love be with another woman?

Was that the "l"
word I just heard?

I heard it too.

If I felt the way I do now that
day in the elevator, things

would be very different.

So go to the party.

I'm not gonna break
up a happy couple.

Nobody's suggesting that... ish.

But you and Charles were
building something.

Yeah, maybe you
gave up too easily.

Keisha, what's happening?

Somebody's following
me around...

And texting the
pictures to prove it.

Who the hell is
doing this to me?

New York starter kit.

Mm-hmm.

Subway map.

Need it.

Bergdorf's.

Mm.

Roach spray?

You never know.

Awesome.

Oh, there's one more.

A dinner invitation.

Ooh!

From my mom.

Uh, I-I don't know, Reggie.

I met your mother
before, remember?

I don't think I can handle a repeat
of her performance at the boule ball.

Oh, this is different.

She knows we're together.

She knows I love you.

But if she does act up, just
compliment her Mac and cheese.

Maybe I could bring
my sweet potato pie.

Yeah, don't.

Baby steps.

Does everybody get this
much love in here?

Oh, the owner and I are both from
Bahrain, and he knows my family.

We are a small island nation
where everybody knows everyone.

In a lot of ways, Atlanta's
a small town like that.

I appreciate it when my neighbor
calls and warns me that my

daughter's at the bus stop
trying to drop it like it's hot.

What?

I'm a single parent.

It takes a village.

But, really, with Nicole, all
it takes are these eyes.

You are so different from
the women I usually meet.

You speak your mind, you make
me laugh, yet you do it with

such grace and charm
and no pretense.

Well, there is a
little pretense.

I'm doing it in a
new pair of shoes.

Hey.

Came as fast as I could.

Something tells me
you're not remodeling.

I've already identified the type of snake
he left from the picture you sent.

It's a California king.

Oh... we'll be hitting the pet
shops first thing tomorrow,

looking for the buyer.

Thank you so much
for helping me.

Of course.

You know, I was hoping our
relationship would be different

when I got back, but I
missed my window again.

Doesn't matter though.

You can call me for anything.

Thank you.

Now I need you to make a list
of any possible suspects.

Thanks again for being my
escort on such short notice.

I couldn't let you
do this alone.

Besides, I know how devastating it can
be to see your ex with someone new.

Trust me on that.

The people are
buzzing about you.

Seems I've done my best work.

Omar, I picked my outfit.

Yes, but I pushed up,
re-situated, and accentuated.

And my work is done.

You go make your move.

I'll be over there trying
that new flavored vodka.

I'm glad you made it.

Padma, this is Raquel.

Pleasure to meet you.

I've heard so much about you.

And I, you.

This is Antonio.

Antonio, that's Charles.

Charles.

Right, uh, you two
grew up together.

That's right, man.

It's been great to reconnect.

We're going to our table.

Join us?

Great.

Thank you.

I knew I'd find you at the bar.

So how's our girl doing?

You might wanna send
her one of these.

Oh, wow!

That's yummy and sweet.

Absolutely.

And you can do lots
of things with it.

You can do it as a Martini, you can do
it on the rocks, or you can do it up.

Mm!

This kissed caramel vodka
is my new favorite.

Make sure you try
the iced cake too.

Whoa, whoa!

Damn! Sorry, man.

Oh, no problem.

Hi. I'm drew.

Omar.

Can we...Get one more?

Get out of here!

Wha--you play clave,
congas, and the timbales?

Yeah.

Man, I respect anyone who
can handle percussion.

I couldn't.

Charles is a passionate
conversationalist, isn't he?

It's one of my favorite
things about him.

My ex-husband was
the exact opposite.

Very measured, very controlled.

I never should've married him.

But I didn't want to bring
shame to my family.

Charles mentioned you had
a similar situation?

My experience wasn't
exactly like yours.

I broke it off with Victor before we got
married, but my family was very upset.

I admire you for having ended
things before you got married.

Thank you.

Hey! Antonio knows a place
with a great mambo band for us

to check out after this.

What do you think?

Maybe another time.

Wait, you mean that giant
billboard talking about "Tommy

needs a buddy too,"
that was you guys?

My company didn't want to take
on any more pro Bono work,

so I had to fight
for us to do it.

Well, I'm glad you did.

That campaign really moved me.

That's great.

You just made my week.

Excuse me.

April, I need you to
slap me right now.

Why?

Because I'm thinking
inappropriate things about this

man and I have a boyfriend.

Bitch, you know I
wasn't serious!

I didn't mean for you
to literally slap me!

You just admitted to
being scandalous.

I swear I'm not being a horn
dog, but I've been really

feeling something with this guy.

Like substance.

What, and Parker doesn't
have substance?

I don't know!

It's weird, but I remember
feeling the same thing with

Derek, and I fell
in love with him.

Do I need to slap you again?

Girl, if you do, we'll be
catfighting all over this party.

Hmm.

Look, you should
give me your number.

I have to leave, but I'd
like to see you again.

I don't think that's
such a good idea.

I'm in a relationship.

Oh... well, can we
at least be friends?

Are you available for that?

Hey, I'm so glad you
decided to come.

Me too.

Congratulations, Charles.

Everything's coming
together for you.

You too.

Antonio, real
pleasure to meet you.

My pleasure, man.

Nice to meet you.

Oh, Charles, man...
He's a good guy.

Yeah.

Padma's pretty cool
too, isn't she?

Damn.

I guess I'd better
leave it alone.

I'm sorry.

But, hey, perhaps
it's for the best.

Okay?

Today was heaven, kasseem.

Thank you.

I will call you this evening to make
sure you have arrived home safely.

Aw, you don't have to do that.

Yes, I do.

You have already become
quite precious to me.

Until tonight.

So where exactly is heaven
located these days?

Downtown.

He took me on a horse-drawn
carriage ride through the city

during rush hour traffic.

He's perfect.

I'm dumping him.

What?

Why?

Because this makes no sense.

He's been all over the world,
speaks six languages, and sent

me $5,000 worth of shoes.

I spent two summers in biloxi,
Mississippi, got a b-minus in

English, and most of my shoes
are buy one, get one free.

So what are you saying?

You think kasseem's
out of your league?

I saw this TV show once, where men and
women secretly ranked themselves.

Do you know all the sixes picked
sixes, and all the nines picked nines?

Nobody picked anyone more than
a point from their number.

Okay...One, that sounds like
very destructive programming.

Two, you're crazy if you
think that applies here.

Don't get me wrong, I think I'm
cute and have plenty to offer.

I'm just used to dating the chauffeur,
not the guy being chauffeured.

Morgan, he likes you.

So just focus on how you feel about each
other, and nothing else should matter.

Hm.

Um, neither, unless you're
going to a funeral.

I kind of am.

I'd rather die than see Reggie's
mother again, but I promised to

go, so I'm gonna play it safe.

You need to play it like you.

Don't switch up for
no judgmental biddy.

Yeah, and Reggie wouldn't take
you home unless he set her

straight about how
important you are to him.

I know, but that doesn't
make it any easier.

Oh.

This is cute though.

Please.

Malcolm said he needs to talk to
me in person, and it's urgent.

But I don't need his drama right
now, mm-mmm, especially not

before I go to Phoenix.

I need to focus.

Yeah.

Padma?

Hello.

May I have a word with you?

Of course.

Conventional wisdom says I
should leave well enough alone.

But there's nothing truly
conventional about wisdom, is there?

I suppose there isn't.

I love Charles, and I'm thrilled
to be back in his life,

but I need to be sure he's
happy, and I can only do that if

he makes an informed
decision between us.

But he's already chosen you.

I'd feel better if he made that
choice knowing you love him too.

I did not see that coming.

Shh.

He told me you didn't love him,
and he still believes that.

Padma, I don't think we should
be having this conversation.

I think you should tell
Charles how you feel.

I owe him that much.

He has no clue I'm here, so...
Next move is yours.

Good-bye.

Did she just ask me to tell the man
that she loves that I love him too?

I know it sounds crazy,
but she has a good point.

I mean, who wants to be with a guy
who's in love with someone else?

Please, as hard as it is to
find a good man, what woman in

her right mind would
offer up her own?

I bet she's convinced he won't choose
you, but wants her conscience clear.

And doesn't mind letting
Raquel play herself to do it.

Damn!

That is mastermind.

Every time I think I understand
you bitches, you take it to a

whole other level.

God, I don't know what to do.

Girl, please.

Go get your man.

It's all cued up, but I don't know
how to hook it up to their system.

I've done tons of these.

I'll take care of it.

And don't be so nervous.

It's just--it's my first time.

You'll be great.

I've seen you in action.

And after we're done, some local
realtors invited us to party

with them in scottsdale.

And by "local," I mean "cute."

Malcolm?

What are you doing in Phoenix?

I'm gonna go get you set up.

You speak in less than ten, so
don't go disappearing on me.

I told you that we
needed to talk.

And I told you I
had a conference.

I'm about to give a
presentation in powerpoint.

Yes, keisha Greene
knows powerpoint.

Okay, here's the thing.

I left Taylor.

Why?

Clearly she's quicker at bailing
you out of jail than me,

so you might wanna rethink that.

Keisha, I had one phone
call, and I made it to you.

But I was late coming home, Taylor
freaked out and called around.

She found me.

The bottom line is it's over.

So...Say something.

You say something.

You're the one who
came all the way here.

Why are you playing games?

You may have broken up with
Taylor, but I'm still with Sean.

That's your response to this?

Should I have a different one?

Well, we both racked up today.

You on clothes,
me on commission.

Well, I did go a bit overboard, but I'm
only in Atlanta for a short time, and I

love shopping in America.

Well, me too, when
I can afford it.

Adirah Al jahni!

I know a kasseem Al jahni.

Any chance you're related?

Well, yes, he's my husband.

How do you know kasseem?

I--he, uh, came into the store.

Oh, well, he does
love to shop too.

Thanks.

Have a good day.

Kasseem is married?

I should've known no
man was that perfect.

I just wanna go back to my
quiet, ordinary life, and forget

kasseem ever happened.

Sometimes, life is hard.

Yeah.

Sometimes, we make it that way.

Take Charles and me.

I never would've lost him if I wasn't
so out of touch with my own feelings.

Raquel, you're gonna have to find a way
to make peace with that situation.

I know, but I don't think I will
unless I tell him how I feel.

What?

It's about time.

Do you need to me
to dial for you?

No.

Damn! Voicemail.

Eh, Charles, it's Raquel.

Please call me as
soon as you get this.

It's important.

Very important!

You know, there's so many kids out
there who need a stable, loving home.

I wanna adopt one day.

Do you want kids?

A boy and a girl.

I'll raise them to be smart,
open-minded, and extremely stylish.

My break's been over
for ten minutes.

I gotta get back to work.

Oh, yeah, me too.

It's funny, I lost track of time
the last time we hung out too.

That always happens when
I'm in sync with somebody.

I feel like I've
known you forever.

I can't do this.

I'm sorry.

I had no right.

I hope this doesn't mean you're
gonna end our friendship.

I have to.

I'm also going to end my relationship...
So I can start one with you.

Uh, uh, uh!

I'm not free yet.

April! Hi, I'm Gayle.

Reggie's favorite cousin
and the family beauty.

Which doesn't say much
for our looks overall.

Aww.

Oh, you remember my mom.

Hello, Mrs. westfield.

April, I'm happy you came.

Welcome.

Three times.

I was telling you.

See, I told you my boyfriend
was finer than yours.

Trudy didn't believe me.

She thinks Harold
is such a prize.

So, um, I've got something I
really need to talk to you about.

Look, this is hard for me.

You've been such a
sweetheart, and I like you.

I just-- drew!

What, how did you--
that's my brother.

It's hard to believe we
live in the same city.

I never see this guy.

You're gonna love him.

Hey!

Hey, man!

Omar, this is drew.

Hey!

Hey!

How are you?

Harold.

Hi.

I really appreciate you
fixing that lamp for me.

Ah, no problem.

For what that jerk wanted to charge you,
and he was making you wait--no way.

This won't take long.

You have a ladder?

In the storage room.

Okay, I'll be right back.

Charles, hi.

I see you've been
trying to reach me.

Is everything okay?

Are you home right now?

Um, can I come by
and talk to you?

Raquel, I can't.

The car is coming soon to take
me and padma to the airport.

The airport?

Yeah, we're heading out
of town for a few weeks.

Yeah, I'm sorry, but I
gotta finish packing.

Can we talk when I get back?

Okay, fine.

Okay, bye.

Damn it!

I'm not gonna be able to talk
to him before he leaves town.

Call him back.

No.

I need to tell him how
I feel in person.

I'll talk to you guys later.

Was that about Charles?

Oh... is she going to
try to get him back?

But I love her.

Oh.

I'm gonna get her back.

Raquel!

Hey, kev.

I got a beamer and three other cars
that I haven't seen around here before.

I need you to run
the plates for me.

Wait, hold on.

I hate I couldn't
meet you in Arizona.

I've missed you.

Yeah, you didn't act like
it, ignoring my calls.

Yeah.

Sorry about that.

I just needed some space to think
about us and-- turn around! Keisha!

Aah!

Veronica! Veronica! Stop!

No!

Hold on, keisha, I'm coming!

Veronica, what the
hell are you doing?

You took my man, and
now you're gonna pay!

Aah!

Oh!

This Veronica Vanderbilt, who owns that
beamer, bought a California king snake?

Kev, I gotta go.

Keisha?

What the hell is goin' on?

Aah!

Oh!

Malcolm!

Oh, no, bitch.

Now you're gonna pay!

No!

Aah!

Ow! No!

Aah! Ugh!

Oh! Aah!

Keisha!

Oh! Oh!

What? What?

Keisha!

It's okay, it's over.

Malcolm!

Malcolm.

What I did, I did out of love.

I'm sorry.

You two are free to go too.

I ain't goin' nowhere.

Oh, guys, please don't start.

Actually, the two of you can go.

I need to be with
keisha right now.

I'm not leaving until
keisha says I should go.

I don't work for you.

Do you work at all?

Because if you did, this never
would've happened to keisha.

And you.

You're the main one
who needs to leave.

You brought that crazy
bitch into her life.

Yo, man, I asked you
to leave nicely.

Next time, I won't be so polite.

Okay.

So what are you gonna do then?

Oh!

Aah!

I've been waiting for this.

No, no, no, no!

Oh!

Aah!

No!

Stop it, damn it!

Winston, do something!

Everybody, please, just go.

Go!

Sean, can you stay a minute?

Call me.

Yeah.

I'm here.

There you are.

You are not responding
to my calls.

Has something happened?

Yes.

Your wife happened.

May I have a chance to explain?

What's to explain?

You have a wife.

I knew you were too
good to be true.

I do not have a wife.

I have three.

What?

Islamic law allows for a man
to have up to four, if he can

afford to support them.

Well, then, I guess congratulations
are in order three times over.

I was going to tell you about
all of this eventually, but

apparently, now is the time.

So... I am a prince.

My cousin is the king.

Three wives?

A prince?

Any other bombshells
you wanna drop?

Yes.

I know this is sudden, but will
you be my fourth and final wife?

Is this reality, because it
feels like Ashton kutcher's

about to jump out from
behind a clothes rack.

I am very serious, Morgan.

You want me to be a
part of a harem?

Of course not.

That is completely different, and I
would never insult you like that.

I revere and respect my wives.

So everybody's just one
big, happy family, huh?

Yes, especially because they all have
their own houses and their own lives.

You can have one right here in
Atlanta, and your daughter can

go to the best schools, as it will
be my duty to finance her education.

You can work, go to school, start
your own business, or just relax.

Kasseem, we've only
been on three dates.

We barely know each other.

I know myself.

I trust my instincts, and I
know how I feel about you.

So you want me to
be your princess?

Will you?

I know... but let
me say it first.

You and me aren't you
and me anymore, are we?

I'll always love you, Sean,

but we're different now.

I really tried to make this
work, but we're not there.

Yeah.

Well, I think we both know
why you couldn't get there.

Last time around, it was on you.

This one's on me.

I'd call it even, except I
still feel like the loser.

Well, you'll always
be close to my heart.

You know that, right?

Yeah.

Good-bye, keisha.

Good-bye, Sean.

Helene, everything is delicious.

I told you mom's Mac and
cheese was not to be missed.

Oh.

Reggie, you're my only son, and you
know I love you more than anything.

Yeah, I'm pretty clear on that.

Uh, what's going on?

We love and support
you no matter what.

But we can no longer continue
to let you live a lie,

so the family decided to
hold this intervention.

Are you on drugs?

No!

Mom, what the hell is this?

Please stop playing games
with other people's lives,

and admit, once and for all,
Reggie, that you are gay.

G--

hey.

How's your head?

Hard as ever, but
I'm changing that.

Oh?

How so?

I almost lost you today.

I went home, and I thought about
that, and it made me sick.

Baby, the way it's been going all
these months is not how it's

supposed to go, not with us.

What are we doing?

Keisha, I love you.

I love you too, and I'm
never letting you go again.

This is where I wanna be.

This is where I belong...
With you.

Okay, so how do we do this?

Maybe start fresh,
someplace new.

You mean leave Atlanta?

I can run Frank's
jewels from anywhere.

Zurich, Amsterdam,
Beverly Hills, Vegas.

Vegas is where we met
and had the most luck.

So what do you say?

So much has changed
in the last 24 hours.

I need to think.

You know where I go when I've got
big decisions staring me down?

Up.

Up?

Charles!

Charles!

Charles, wait! Raquel.

Charles!

Raquel, what's wrong?

Charles!

I couldn't let you go without telling you.

Charles, I love you.

Ready?
