Hey.
Hey, baby, how you doing?
Good.
I didn't think you was coming.
I almost called Juicy and Minnie.
About to call Juice and Minnie.
Tell him you stood me up.
You know I wouldn't do that.
I wouldn't stand you up.
I'm meeting out with Morland so we could
talk about our relationship.
And although we made up, it's still
a lot we need to talk about.
Hey this is much-- this is much better, a lot quieter.
This drink is good.
Yeah, we got some things we got to go over,
so I need your undivided attention.
- All right. - All right.
I'm glad to be back.
You know, I'm glad we're working these things out.
I'm glad you're back.
I do love you a lot.
I want you to know that.
I just was devastated with the ring situation.
And so, I mean, I came to my senses
when Juicy and Minnie came to the cafe.
After seeing how upset I was because Morland
walked out on me, Minnie and Juicy
reached out to talk to him.
Words can't explain how upset I was when
she told me she lost that ring.
She is devastated by it.
Like, she's to the point now, she's in a depression.
I couldn't be more thankful that they
reached out to him, because it worked,
and we're finally talking again.
I realized some things.
People make mistakes.
I understand things happen, so, you know.
But you have to be more responsible
when it comes to important things,
especially something like that.
My hard efforts went down the drain.
That's how I felt when you lost the ring.
So-- - I know it.
The mistake I made was a $3,500 mistake.
You know, I'm sorry.
You know, I was wrong.
But at the same time, I was missing you more than anything.
D2 had came down and, you know, you should have been there.
Like, I want us to, you know, be in this together.
He needs to see us together.
All right.
We're going to move forward.
But, I mean, still, one thing I need
to tell you, something that I need to go
on and get out so we can--
What?
You're not going to really like
this, what I'm about to tell you,
but, I mean, you got to understand
where I'm coming from on this.
OK, what do you mean?
I mean, the wed-- the wedding is,
right now, still off as of now.
Still, one thing I need to tell you, something that I
need to go on and get out. - What?
--so we can--
I mean, the wed-- the wedding is, right now,
is still off as of now.
- I don't agree with it. - So as you--
I really don't, because I feel like--
I'm not saying anything--
I'm not saying in the future that it won't be a wedding,
I'm just saying for right now, I just
want us to-- since we're just now
working things back out again.
I understand that, what you're saying, but I'm saying too,
I feel like it still could be a wedding.
Yeah, I just don't need that pressure right now.
All I'm saying is, if more people took the time
to work on themselves like I'm trying to do with you,
it wouldn't be so many people going through divorce.
You're right.
Yeah, so we're going to do this thing the right way.
OK.
I understand where Morlin's coming from, and he's right.
We do need to work together and get
back to where we were before.
I really want to do something special for him
and try to get things back on track.
Take a day at a time, you know what I'm saying?
MONIE CASHETTE: Take it a day at a time.
Take it from here.
To taking it a day at a time.
That's right, man.
Day by day.
MONIE CASHETTE: All right.
It's going to be good.
He is.
MORLIN RAGLAND: All right.
[MUSIC PLAYING]
Hey, girl.
Well, today's downtown?
What time?
It's intense.
I'm on the phone.
When my mom got kicked out of her place
and asked to move in for a couple of weeks, I agreed.
My mom's been here more than a couple of weeks,
though, and it's time for me to have my own space.
Really?
What?
Why are you interrupting me on my phone?
Because I need to talk to you.
About?
I've been using the machine.
How you feel?
I feel, like, energized.
Like, I'm not tired anymore.
It works. - You look refreshed.
Yeah.
Like, I got a glow daughter.
I wouldn't go that far.
What other tea do you have?
Why are you so suspicious about it?
Because I know you.
I gave birth to you, and I know your every move.
- No. - Yeah, you got something.
Yeah.
No.
Yeah.
I don't know how to come--
- Why are you so antsy? - --come to you about this.
Come to me correct.
I think it's time for you to move out.
I got put out of my apartment.
I am devastated.
You understand?
Mama, how long ago was that?
I don't care how long it was.
I need time to get my thoughts together, to figure
out what my next move is.
How about two weeks?
Two weeks, what?
Mama.
Ashley, in six months, I'm--
I'll--
6 months?
Yes, I feel that's enough time.
I'm working, I got a lot on my mind.
I love you, Mama, but I need my space.
And I got my new place and it's all furnished.
I'm ready to get turned up, so I'm going to put my mama out.
I knew she wasn't going to take this well,
but we're both adults, and she needs to understand
where I'm coming from.
I want independence and freedom, like--
You going to get independence and freedom
when I'm ready to go.
I've been up under you for years.
It's time.
I feel like I'm going to cry.
Why?
Because I feel like you just want me out.
Like, you brushing me.
How would I learn if I don't be on my own?
I get it, I get it, I do.
I'm glad my mom's starting to get it, but a part of me
is really feeling bad about kicking her out.
So, I think I got an idea to soften the blow.
Now that we got that out the way,
how about we have the girls over and just have a party?
So you're-- basically, what you're saying is you
you're celebrating me leaving.
[LAUGHING]
This bitch is out.
But it's going to be a celebration.
I guess.
We're going to have a good time.
[MUSIC PLAYING]
Your house looks so nice.
Oh my gosh, girl.
Leave us something to drink?
I'm having the girls over to celebrate
me finally living on my own.
Asking my mom to move out was bittersweet,
but I need my freedom.
So, where are the other girls?
Like, Tanya--
They supposed to be coming.
So I don't know.
Do you want a tour of the house?
Yes.
OK.
Sorry for so many steps, but--
That's OK.
We need to work out anyways.
Well, this is my room, ladies.
Oh, my gosh.
How the hell do you get up here?
Why would you break up with Gary at a time like this?
You got all the space in the world
to roll you over to them, girl.
WOMAN: This is nice.
WOMAN: Well, move over.
Let's see if all of us can fit in there.
Right.
So I'm looking at Minnie bed, like, all that space for just
you?
Whatever, girl.
What is that, Minnie?
This is my CPAP machine.
WOMAN: So, how does it work?
You do it like this, put it on like--
like this.
And then--
You better be using it.
I am.
When I did the sleep study with it and I got the results,
they told me that my oxygen level was raised
and that I didn't have seizure activities anymore.
This is my life now.
- So, that's good. - That's it?
- Yeah. - That is real good.
Yeah.
So I'm glad they gave you that machine to help you.
Yeah.
What's going on in here?
Hey, Mama.
Obviously, the party started without me.
- Hey. - He.
See what she doing?
Got a bon voyage party.
It's like you having a good time.
This is for you, Mama.
And you as well.
Yeah.
You're always-- Oh, jeez.
Well, I'm going down to get me something to drink.
WOMAN: OK.
Since y'all done started without me.
OK.
I know my mom is still mad at me for telling her to move out,
but she's going to have to get over it eventually.
She can't stay mad at me forever.
So how did you feel when Minnie told you
that you needed to move out?
I felt like I was getting put out again.
But I understand.
It's just hard to let go.
I'll be worried about her.
What if she can't reach something?
What if she needs me to get something off the top shelf?
What if the CPAP machine don't work?
My mom is my best friend, so I know it's going to be
difficult for us living apart.
But I think this is going to be good for the both of us.
We each need to learn to stand on our own two feet.
Didn't you invite Juicy and Tanya?
Where they at? MINNIE ROSS: Yeah.
What happened?
I don't know.
They ain't show up, so--
I'm going to go call Juicy and see what's going on.
I don't even know where's Tanya too?
Girl, where are you?
Why you not here?
I didn't get no texts from you that you wouldn't coming,
and so I feel set up here.
Not only is Juicy not coming, but I've
got to be the one to break the news to the group,
and that's awkward.
So what happened?
I called Juicy to see, because like you said,
she was on our way.
I thought she was on her way, too.
She's not going to come.
Is her reasons me?
