[Eva] Hi.
You've reached Eva's voicemail.
Please leave a message.
[Camille] ...painful,
and unexpected,
even when you know what you're expecting.
Your cervix is starting to dilate and shorten,
which means she'll be here soon.
OK, so you're saying she could come at any moment?
Likely within the week.
- Wow, that's fast. - Wow.
- [Dr. Lisbon] Yeah. - Wow.
[laughter]
You guys will be fine.
Just keep it light, Camille.
No heavy activity.
And make sure you have your hospital bag
packed and ready to go.
Got it. Got it. That's packed.
I got that bag packed. Don't even worry about it.
All right, um, I'm gonna go.
I'm gonna go get the van,
give you a minute to get dressed.
- You good? - Yes.
- [Ian] Good. - [chuckles]
You're doing wonderfully. OK?
- I'll see you both soon. - OK.
[Dr. Lisbon] All right.
[light music]
[whispering] Wow.
[muttering]
[both] Oh.
Oh.
Hey.
Portia. Damn. Yeah, it's you.
Hello, Camille.
Uh, you must be due any minute.
Yeah, and not a minute too soon.
You know, she had her foot in my rib this morning,
which is, like, a very specific pain.
I was like, girl, your lease is up.
- [Portia] Mm. - Eviction letter sent.
- Ms. Johnson? - Oh, thank God.
That's me.
But you guys have fun in there.
Thank...thank you.
[tense music]
[Seth] Thank you for coming to see me.
I didn't come for you.
I came for the view.
[Seth] You like this view?
'Cause I'll buy this motherfucker,
put your name on the title right now.
Right, you're gonna put
an $8 million property in my name?
That's exactly what I'll do to show you how committed I am.
But you're not committing to just me.
Seth, what is it that Sabrina gives you
that you don't think I can?
Quinn, you have a whole life.
I'm a professional athlete who spends,
what, half the year on the road.
I don't expect you to just drop everything
and come sit in a hotel room with me in some random city.
But Sabrina can?
[Seth] Her life is different. She has no attachments.
It works for us.
I feel like I'm trying to understand
the existence of a ghost.
Would it help if you met her?
[light music]
And that was phenomenal, everybody.
I will see you all next week.

As a reminder, Tye, this is my place of work,
not a forum to discuss personal stuff.
Uh, but you haven't been answering
my calls or my texts.
I mean, I don't even know if you still going with me
to Angie's premiere tonight.
Unavailable.
Damn, baby. Don't do me like that.
Aren't you the one always talking about communication?
And I'm communicating clearly.
I don't want to talk to you.
Look, I'm sorry that I missed dinner with your mom,
but the baby shower ran over.
I watched you leave, Tye.
Yeah.
I pointed you out to my mom
from inside the restaurant, walked out to greet you,
and then I watched you drive off
while simultaneously texting you were still at the shower.
Baby, I'm sorry.
[Eva] Me too.
But I have a real problem with the ease
in which you can lie to me.
That's a giant red flag.
But to be fair, you promised me red flags when we met.
So really, it's my fault for not believing
who you were the first time.
But trust,
I believe who you are this time.

Oh, I hate it.
It's like everywhere I turn,
Portia is there ruining everything,
even last night.
Girl, something happened with Ian last night?
- He came over. - Mm-hmm.
- We finished the nursery. - Mm-hmm.
We had some cake...
Ooh, girl, I knew it!
You and Ian had sex.
- No. - Oh.
[sighs] I wanted to.
I wanted to so badly.
But then her face popped into my head.
Portia?
- No, our daughter. - Oh.
Then I had the urge to do something
I normally don't do when it comes to Ian...
the smart thing,
instead of what feels good in the moment.
Wow, that is so big of you.
I'm just trying to be better, for her.
And that means, you know, no blurring the lines.
No being messy.
Ian is with Portia, not me.
And we are a little too old for threesomes, so...
- [laughs] - Are we?
Because I feel like I might be in a little bit
of a threesome myself.
You had a threesome with Seth?
- OK, let me go back. - OK. OK.
All right, everything was going perfectly.
He pretty much offered me the fairy tale life
that I've always wanted.
Except in fairy tales,
princesses do not share their prince
with side princesses named Sabrina.
[Camille] Oh, wow.
So another Prince Charming cheats?
No, not exactly.
He's very honest about it.
He's what they call "ethically nonmonogamous."
And in lieu of that tradition, he wants to offer me
a ring, a house, a family...
- And a Sabrina. - Mm-hmm.
Whom he wants me to meet.
Are you really gonna...
I don't know, girl. I don't know.
I mean, at least with Seth, I get part of the dream.

What if this is as good as it gets?

I recognize you from the pictures that Eva sent,
as well as the restaurant window
where you cowardly stood up my daughter and lied.
I owe you an apology.
Well, obviously, I don't take the mistreatment of my children
lightly, but now is not a good time.
I've got a flight to London for a conference I can't miss.
Look, I know I really, really messed up.
Yes, you did.
And hey, accountability is a good thing.
Just sometimes, it's not enough.
You've got to grow from this, Tye.
That's the thing.

If you give me another chance,
I will show you that, flaws and all,
I am perfect for your daughter.
OK.
That's a very nice speech,

Where were you last night?
I was at Camille's, building the crib up.
You know that.
Till 3:00 a.m.?
Oh, yeah, it's a pretty big crib.
Ian.
[sighs]
Look, we're... we're having a child.
Like, soon, soon.
I got to be there for her.
Yeah, but it's not just right now, right?
Like, today, it's the crib,
and then it's gonna be the birth
and then the first steps and then the first birthday
and the first trip to see the Yankees.
Oh, that ain't never gonna happen.
I mean, either it's the Mets, or it ain't nothing.
- Ian... - Shit.
...I'm serious.
It's always gonna be something.
And I'm gonna be here waiting for you at 3:00 a.m.,
or worse,
I'll be there looking at Camille
pretending like her existence doesn't bother me,
which it does.
Portia, don't say that.
But it's still the truth of how I feel, Ian.
I love you.
And I saw a future for us,
but that future didn't have Camille and your baby in it.
And I feel like a bitch for saying that out loud.
And the other thing I don't want to say out loud is,
maybe you stayed at Camille's until 3:00 a.m.
because that's where you want to be...
because you still love her.
Oh.
Wo--OK, I'ma take that as a yes.
Whoa!
Ian, why the fuck are you even with me?
Because I fell hard for you too, Portia!
I wanted the same things you wanted...
a family, commitment, all that.
I wanted that.
I'm not the type to just walk out.
I walked out of a whole wedding.
I'm not doing that with you.
I don't want to be with a nigga who's just with me
out of some misplaced sense of duty, OK?
You can knight in shining armor your ass somewhere else.
That's not what I mean.
I mean, you deserve someone who follows through.
Yeah, I do, Ian. I do.
But I also deserve love,
real love, where I come first.
And that...that ain't here.
So build your crib.
Build your life together.
I'm...I'm done.

You two have been having quite the fun out here.
Seth showed me some selfies from all your dates.
Sorry. He...he showed you pictures?
I...I mean, I'm sure he could show you some from ours too,
if you want.
We had this incredible picnic
at the Cloisters last weekend.
Ugh.
Oh, that's good to know.
Anyways, we should get to the elephant in the room, Seth.
I mean, that is a varsity dick, am I right?
[choking]
Well, I just want to reassure you
that Seth and I are big believers in safe sex,
which, obvi, you have to be
when you're not a fan of condoms.
Did he give you that whole
"latex makes men impotent" theory?
Uh, he did not.
So with that in mind, I just want to be transparent.
I get tested twice a month for STDs, full panel.
I actually got tested last week.
Oh.
And here are my results.
All negatives, as you can see, even herpes,
and they say 80%
of the entire population has that.
So moving forward, I'd just like you
to get tested regularly.
And if you decide to see outside people,
I just need to know who they are
and what you're doing with them sexually
just so that we all have transparency...
Mm...nope.
I can't.
- Get tested? - Do this.
- [Sabrina] Uh... - Sorry.
Are...
It's not you. It's me.
OK.
Bitch, you will not believe who is coming tonight.
I'm hearing Oprah, Tyler Perry, Malcolm Lee,
and, girl, even Haddish herself.
Damn!
Franjelica, did you hear who's all coming
to see your girl tonight?
[Franjelica] I did. But listen.
Hype can be good or bad, Ange.
If you live up to it, people big you up even more.
But if you don't, they will tear your ass apart.
You got to forget who's out there watching
and be fucking great tonight.
Because that's all anyone will talk about tomorrow.
You got one shot.
That's it.
[tense music]
So it is a complete and hard no
on Seth and Sabrina.
Girl, I cannot believe you actually went.
I...I just want to know, how long was it
before you dipped out?
Girl, it was the precise moment
when she whipped out her phone
just to show me her negative gonorrhea test.
- [Tye] No! - Ah!
I mean, yeah, Quinn, you are not built for this poly life.
It turns out, I am not.
- [laughter] - No, Quinn. But you know what?
At least you know for certain
that you are not making a mistake
by walking away from Seth.
And you know, this is a thing that I realized
on the way over here.
Just because I'm walking away from Seth,
it does not mean that I'm walking away
from having a family.
Brittany suggested that I check out
a solo moms workshop.
- I think I might. - [gasps]
I mean, I don't know. I feel really inspired by her.
Yes.
Good for you, not lowering your standards.
I don't know, I feel like it's time
to start making different choices.
The shitty thing is, I was really trying
to do that with Eva, and I still messed things up.
I'm sorry, Tye.
The one silver lining is that I got to make
things right with her mom, so...

What if...what if I crash and burn tonight?

I've thought about everything long and hard,
and you're right about something.
Relationships are all about compromise.
Yeah, I'm glad you can see my side of things, babe.
But our issue is, I'm the only one compromising.
How can you even fix your mouth to say something like that?
All the times I've canceled date nights,
shifted my life around to plan around your...
your Girl Trip stuff?
I have shifted around for your stuff too.
When you need to leave drinks early
to show a client a new loft,
when you're too tired to ask me how my day was,
I let it go.
I have given you space to do your career
without ever belittling you for it.
And where is that for me?
And it's not even just a career.
It's my purpose.
So I think it's best that we both move on
in a direction that satisfies our individual needs.
[soft music]
Because my mind is made up.

I'm doing a movie, mama!
- [laughs] - [Sonya screaming]
Wait, say what?
I booked an Idris movie!
Idris Elba?
Oh, shit!
- [laughs] - Oh, Idris Elba!
Oh, my God!
Look at this!
Aww, you go ahead, girl.
Ooh, ooh, this is my child!
My motherfucking child!
[laughs]
Ooh, look at this! Turn around.
[Camille] And realizing that hard-fought wins
are even sweeter than the ones that come easily.
I hope you all found today's workshop helpful.
Thank you for coming.
[applause]
Hey, I just wanted to say thank you so much for today.
I found it so eye-opening in the best way.
I can't wait to just go back down the rabbit hole
of sperm donors.
And known donors, who even knew that was a thing?
Welcome to the sisterhood.
Don't hesitate to reach out if you need anything.
- Thank you. - Mm-hmm.
Quinn?
Isabella?
Oh, my God.
I knew that was your voice I heard.
[both] Hi.
It is really good to see you.
Do you have time for a drink?
Yeah.
Yeah, I'd like that.
[Camille] And learning when you choose yourself,
other possibilities open up.
How have you been?

I'm in the lobby of her... yeah, here she is.
I don't know what you said to my mom,
but suddenly, she's team Tye.
Oh, is she now?
Slow your roll.
I said she was team Tye.
And she can be relentless and insisted I hear you out,
so here I am.
[Jacqueline] Now, turn the phone towards Tye.
Tye, don't fuck this up.
I got you.
I'm rooting for you.
Good night, Mom.
I just want to start by saying I'm sorry...
for lying.
I just...I don't know.
I was scared.
It was just dinner.
It wasn't that serious.
Not to me.
When you're meeting the mother of the woman
that you want to spend the rest of your life with,
it's a different kind of pressure.
You see this ring?
My grandmother gave me this ring before she passed.
She said it was the most valuable thing she had.
And she wanted me to have it
and to pass it on to someone that was special to me.
Eva, you are the only woman who has accepted me,
regardless of all of my shit.
And I can't think of anyone more worthy of this than you.
If you'll have me back.
Now, we don't have to jump the broom today or tomorrow,
but you are the only person that has made me want to.
What do you say?
I say, hell yes!
[laughs tearfully]
[Eva] Ah!
On one condition.
You go down to Georgia and face your family.
It's time, Tye.
Will you go with me?
Of course. I'm family now.

is a strength, not a weakness.

Hi, pretty.
I think Harlem needs a bigger place.
What you think?
Yeah, that'd be nice,
but we can't afford it right now,
so this is good for now.
I was thinking maybe...
maybe I move y'all into the brownstone.
You know, like... like we talked about before.
- Are you insane? - [laughs]
I know you don't think me and Portia gonna live
underneath the same roof.
Yeah, that'd be insane, I guess.
[laughs]
About as insane as me being with anyone but you.
Wait, what?
Portia, she moved out.
She...she kept accusing me
of still being in love with you.
[sighs]
I mean, I thought I was doing a good job of hiding it, but...
I guess...I guess I'm not.
I love you.
And I never stopped.
I love you too.
