What's good, man? What you doing here?
Yo, I need you to roll up at this mixer.
- Can't. Got a date.
- A date?
- Yeah.
- With the chick from The Grove?
Nah. This chick Lacy hooked me up with.
- Lacy.
- Yeah.
Okay. So I've been trying to
hook you up for the longest,
and you're going to
take Lacy over your boy?
Dude, those girls are way too young.
They're barely out of college.
- Exactly ripe.
- Whatever, dude.
Talked to her a couple of times, though.
She seemed pretty cool.
She's got to bring her son on the date.
Her son? Wait, she got a kid?
Yeah, a 6-year-old, bruh.
[LAUGHS]
Yo, you sure you ready for that?
'Cause a kid is a lot of baggage.
You're gonna always be in
competition with the son
because most single moms
treat the son like the man of the house.
Yeah, but that's the reality
of dating in your 30s.
Okay, I can't deal.
Look, uh
I need you to contact Alicia for me.
You still haven't heard from her?
No, nothing.
Dude, I told you to stop
playing with her, man.

fine. It's not private.
It's private.
You think she's seeing somebody else?
- Bro.
- Seriously, tell me.
You think she's seeing somebody else?
Dude, I don't know.
We can play "Inspector Gadget" later.

You're right. You're right. I'm good.
- All right.
- Be good, bro.

- Hey.
- Hi.
Nice to finally meet you.
- You look nice.
- Thank you.
What's going on, little man?
Say hello, Brock. Don't be rude.
[BOTH CHUCKLE]
He's fine.
- So, how was your day?
- It was good.
Thanks for understanding me
having to bring him along.
I can't believe my babysitter
canceled on me last minute
and I couldn't find a replacement.
Oh, I totally understand that.
JASON: [THINKING] Is
this little motherfucker
really going to touch all the bread?
Is she not going to say anything?
Do you understand all the germs
that's being passed right now?
Stay focused.
This is what happens when
you date someone with kids.
You know, I really just
want to get to know you.
Lacy told me so much about you.
She talks about you all the time.
- Really?
- Yes.
This is a big step for me.
This is the first date I've
had since Brock's father left.
Wow. Okay.
So how long has it been?
- Two years.
- Oh, wow.
- So it's about that time.
- Mm-hmm.
When was your last relationship?
A year ago.
How long were y'all together?
Three years.
That's a long time. Why
did you two break up?
Mommy, Mommy, I want nuggets!
Okay.
When the waiter comes over,
I'll order some for you, okay?
Is nuggets your favorite food?
Brock, do you hear Mr.
Jason asking you a question?
[CHUCKLES] I'm so sorry.
I can't believe he's acting like this.
You know how kids are.
What are you gonna do?
JASON: [THINKING] Whoop his ass.
Kids will be kids.
So what happened to you and your ex?
Just wanted to make sure that
she was 100% the right person,
and I don't think she was.
And it took you three
years to figure that out?
Well, things started out great.
But the last year, it
was it was a little rocky.
A lot of arguing, and
that's just not who I am.
Do you see yourself getting
married or do you want kids?
Yeah, eventually.
Well, I think you would be a great dad.
You're so sweet and patient.
Well, I'm a work in progress.
But I want to know more
about you, Miss Danielle.
So what would you like to know?
I'm an open book.
What are you looking for in a man?
Stability, loyalty,
someone I could trust,
especially with my son.
You know, someone who's understanding.
Definitely.
All good qualities.
Mm-hmm.
Excuse me. I have to
use the ladies' room.
But I wanna hear what you're
looking for when I get back.
Definitely.
- Do you have to go, Brock?
- No!
[LAUGHS] Do you mind
watching him for a minute?
- I'll be right back.
- Sure.
All right, Brock, stay with Mr. Jason.
I'll be right back.
Okay? Okay. All right.
All right.
Hey.
Let me tell you something.
Don't think you're going to be my daddy.
Hey, let me tell you something.
Don't think I want to be your daddy.
All right, guys. Can I take your order?
Nuggets!
Thank you guys so much.
JASON: Thanks, man. Appreciate it.
Thanks for treating
Brock and I to lunch.
You're welcome.
Say thanks, Brock.
Well, Mommy, at least
his card's working.
Remember we were at the store yesterday
- and your card didn't work?
- DANIELLE: Okay.
You had to put everything back.
- But no, remember, Mommy?
- Brock. Brock. Brock.
He's fine. He's fine.
We gotta go. Let's go.
[SIGHS]
Okay. Bye.
- Shoo, shoo.
- [LAUGHS]
I am so sorry, Jason.
Let me get this boy home.
Okay.
I look forward to doing this again,
but next time, I will
definitely have a babysitter.
Yeah, okay.
You two have a good day.
- Okay. Bye.
- All right. Bye.
She won't see me again.
Ladies, don't bring your
kid on your first date.
And if you do, at least
let him have manners.

Carmen.
I wasn't thinking.
I know this is your bar.
And I'm not trying to invade your space.
I just needed to get out for a drink.
It's not a problem.
Is Mark on the way?
Nope.
Mark and I are done.
Wow.
'Cause we live in the moment ♪
It was like déjà vu.
Did that really happen?
Apparently so.
Felt so right.
It did, as much as I hate to admit it.
I didn't really have this
kind of connection with Mark.
I guess it's like the
stars aligned for us.
What's crazy is I was thinking about you
when you walked into the bar.
Ohh.
You were thinking about me?
Yeah.
That's sweet.
I thought you was out here
running in these streets
doing the absolute most.
Not quite.
Hmm.
Just left a date that
wasn't the most ideal.
Is that so?
Yeah.
So what happened with you and Mark?
[SIGHS]
Just realized I was checking off boxes
instead of following my heart.
Our connection was just
not what I needed it to be.
So in other words, he wasn't me.
[LAUGHS]
That's what you got from that?
Yep. Yep, yep.
But no, you right.
He definitely ain't you.
Well, you know, we've both grown.
So, uh, how about starting over?
Yeah.
We should just pick up
where we left off, babe.
[CELLPHONE VIBRATING]
- Hey, Ang.
- ANG: Lacy, we need to talk.
Okay, Ang, look, I know I
haven't booked in a while,
but please don't drop me, okay?
Just have a little bit more faith,
and I'm going to book something
like like, really, really soon.
ANG: Lacy, no, that's not it.
You just booked a series regular role
on a brand-new Netflix show.
It's called "Jaded Romance."
Hello?
Ang, don't play with me right now.
Did Brian tell you to do this?
Little bald-headed Brian?
ANG: Brian? Who the hell is Brian?
Sittin' at the motherfuckin'
tip top of the hip hop ♪
Ang, are you serious? I booked it?
ANG: Yes, honey.
Oh, my God. I couldn't
wait to make this call.
I know it's been a rough year for you.
[LAUGHS] Yes! Whoo!
- Okay. Ang.
- ANG: Yes, ma'am.
We back on TV.
- ANG: Yes, you are.
- Yes!
ANG: Check your e-mail
and have a good day.
- No, you have a good day.
- ANG: I'll see you later.
Um, I don't know,
don't call me, though ♪
I'm about to quit the bar!
[LAUGHS]
Yes! Fuck that bar!
wit' my engine
in my trunk like ♪
Yay, yay, yay, yay ♪
I don't give a motherfuck ♪
Know some niggas shoot you down ♪
Then call your moms to pick you up ♪
So, what do you think
about the new space?
I think this is it.
Yeah. I love the modern feel.
You know lofts are the new wave.
It's not all stuffy and
ancient like Alan Young.
Exactly, dude.
I say we do a large opening
and invite all of our connections
and potential clients.
- Definitely.
- Right?
It'll speak volumes to
where we're headed. Yeah.
I'm thinking you take the east wing
and I take the west wing.
- I'm cool with that.
- Okay.
Don't forget that we
have to do interviews
for the office manager position.
Mm-hmm.
Oh, maybe we should ask for pictures
along with the résumé
to make this hiring process
a little bit more interesting.
- Here we go.
- Dude, it would be a great way
to meet chicks and
flex at the same time.
We're not trying to get a
lawsuit before we get started.
You know we're in the #MeToo movement.
- Come on.
- Okay.
Hey, baby.
I hope you don't mind.
I still have the key.
- I guess.
- Hey, Cody.
It has been so long.
Carmen. It's good to see you.
It is great to be seen, and
it's great to see you too.
Well, Carmen's a great
interior decorator,
so I asked her to help us
out with the spot, you know?
Actually, look at this spot.
- Tell us what you think.
- Oh, okay.
- Oh, this is great.
- Right?
Yeah, this is good.
What time are we going to see it?
- Soon as the Realtor is by.
- [COUGHS]
Oh. Okay.
Can I have some water?
- Sure.
- Yeah?
Be right back, babe.
I'll miss you.
[GIGGLES]
When did this happen, dude?
Are you guys back together?
No, man. We're just
hanging out, starting over.
Oh, you sneaky devil.
So, like, when did it happen?
JASON: Just randomly ran
into each other last night.
- CODY: Okay.
- I love it.
I have so many ideas.
It's gonna be great.
I'm sure you're going
to make it look amazing.
Nice. But hey, I gotta go.
I have to get to a meeting.
- But
- Cool.
let me know when you
hear back from Realtor.
- All right?
- See you later.
- CODY: Yeah.
- CARMEN: Bye, Cody.
CODY: Bye.
Look at you coming back
around at the right time.
- Mm-hmm. It's what I do.
- Mm-hmm.
You want to go get some food?
Actually, I'm supposed to meet
Erick and Brian at
the bar for happy hour.
- Really?
- Yeah.
Oh, it will be so great
to see the crew again.
I can't wait. I am gonna
go put my stuff down.
I'm going to change
that terrible blanket
you have on your bed,
and then I'll be ready.
So did they approve funding
for your after-school program?
You know, I may be able
to approve it myself.
I just interviewed for
the principal position.
Wow, that's that is perfect for you.
That would be perfect for you.
I mean, I wish you luck. I do.
Hold on a sec. Here come Lacy.
Let me get back to my pettiness.
Hey, Erick. Brian.
Well, hello, Lacy.
- How are you doing today?
- Don't start that.
Hey, Lacy, I heard you got hit
with the Caucasian persuasion.
- You know, Brian filled us in.
- You really get on my nerves.
Why you hiding Prince Harry?
Okay. [CLEARS THROAT]
I am dating a white
man, a Caucasian man.
Are you happy now?
There is nothing wrong with that.
You know, I caught a little
slack for Lisa at first,
but it'll all blow over.
So why don't you bring him around?
Why don't you bring Alicia around?
My fault. She left you.
- What?
- Yep.
- What are you talking about?
- Yeah, I saw her at spin class,
and she told me everything?
What did she say?
That she left you, so
you better keep it Q.
- Keep it Q.
- What's going on?
- Hey, y'all.
- Hey.
What is What's this?
We ran into each other,
catching up a little bit.
Yeah, but I thought you were en
Yeah, it just kind of happened.

- Wow.
Lace, I been hitting
you. You dodging me?
Oh, my bad. It seems
like you've been busy.
I'm I'mma get y'all some drinks.
Cool, cool, cool.
Brian, Jason told me what happened.
You gotta do right by her.
You might not get a second chance
like someone else did.
Yeah, don't worry about it.
I got this all under control.
Where's your fiancé?
Yeah, um, that just didn't work out.
You know what, uh,
I'mma hit Lisa right now.
She's gonna be happy to see this.
Matter of fact, let me go on
and take a picture for her.
Hold on. Ready? 1, 2, 3.
- All right.
- CARMEN: I know, right?
It has been a minute.
Gotta catch up with my girl.
Okay, I got y'all drinks.
Got your bullshit
filtered nonsense water.
Well, excuse me for
having a clean liver, Lacy.
Well, on to other news,
I've decided to start my own firm.
- Mm!
- Okay.
Hey, man, that's great.
That's what I'm talking about.
- Yeah.
- It's about that time.
Uh, shots shots for
everybody on the house.
Yes, and yes.
Oh, but we can only stay for one.
We gotta go see the Realtor
for the new office space.
JASON: You know know what, you're right.
I should take it light today, guys.
- Just a little light.
- You should.
That's cute.
Yeah.
ERICK: You know what?
Lisa said that we can double
date as soon as possible.
CARMEN: Oh, I would love that.
Maybe you can bring the
dude that we haven't met yet.
That'd be nice. Oh, you know what, babe?
We can't stay for another one.
We really need to get going
if we gonna beat the traffic.
JASON: You know what, you're
right. All right, guys.
I think we need to get up out of here.
I'll talk to y'all later, all right?
So good seeing you.
Let's go, babe.
You know what, maybe we can get those
- round of shots right now.
- BRIAN: Quickly.
- LACY: Yes, yes, yes, shots.
- Quickly. Quickly.
JASON: A lot has changed
since we last met.
Explain.
Carmen's back in the picture.
She and her fiancé called it quits.
SHELLIE: Really? And how is that?
It started out cool,
but then it started becoming too much.
She's basically moved into my spot.
It's moving way too
fast. She don't listen.
She's inserting herself
back in with my friends.
And I'm not even sure she's the one.
Now, in our last session,
you said you felt like
things were moving too slow.
So is this about Carmen
or are you suddenly having
a little bit of
commitment anxiety again?
It's okay. This is your safe space.
You can talk to me.
I love Carmen.
I just I just want to make sure
that things are right, you know?
And I don't want to set
myself up for failure.
Remember, it's never
going to be perfect.
Okay?
There's some reason that
you keep being drawn to her,
and I don't know what that is.
But what I would love to see you do
is just be open to letting
things happen organically
and see how that feels.
- We live in the moment ♪
- SHELLIE: Okay?
This is how we got here.
Right here ♪
Just be in the moment ♪
[SPEAKS INDISTINCTLY]
[CELLPHONE RINGS]
Ahh.
Oh, I got to take this.
Oh.
Hey, Lola.
The Lola Lane?
Give me the phone. Tell
her I want to talk to her.
No, it's fine. It's just my friend.
Going in the other room.
[SIGHS]
Want to grab breakfast?
Can we talk?
What are we doing?
What do you mean?
I mean am I "just your friend"?
Or
I just think we need to
establish what we're doing.
JASON: I thought we were
just hanging out, you know,
see where it goes.
Jason, I don't have time to
just be hanging out with you.
Look, I know that,
but we haven't been
together for a while now.
You know, we should get
to know each other again.
I already know everything
I need to know about you.
I don't.
Oh. Okay.
Well, what do you feel
like you still need to know?
Carmen, you were engaged.
You're not the same
person you were a year ago.
What does that have to do
with what we're talking about right now?
Everything.
Come on, we've only been
hanging out for a week.
Oh, so we are just hanging out.
Hmm.
There you go, playing with my emotions.
You got me decorating your office.
He got me helping with your opening.
You're taking me around your
friends to hang out again.
I don't know why you
playing these games, Jason.
I don't know what
you're benefiting from.
Games? Your emotions, really?
Carmen, you brought your
fiancé to my boy's wedding.
I mean, how disrespectful is that?
- Disrespectful?
- Yeah.
Really? To move on with my
life and want to be happy?
With someone who actually
wants to be with me?
He was man enough to know that
he wanted to be my husband.
Well, obviously not
because, uh, you're here.
That's not fair, and that's not true,
because I am the one who ended things.
So, why did you?
Because I wasn't over you.
Look, I can't tell,
because how do I know
this is not one of your
knee-jerk decisions?
I mean, do you want to be with me?
Or do you want to be married?
Wow.
[LAUGHS]
- Oh, that's a serious question?
- Yeah, it is.
Oh, wow.
Jason, what is wrong with me
wanting to marry the man I love?
I don't see anything wrong with it.
And you act like we got all this time.
We don't, Jason.
Carmen, I never said I
don't want to be married.
I just need to do it on my time.
Question for you.
Why can't my time be considered?
Look, babe, we both need to be
at the same place at the same time.
That's all I'm saying.
All right, Jason.
How much time do you need?
More than a week.
Um, well, I
think this is just going to be
a repeat of everything.
Listen, this is why I'm saying
we need to get to know
each other again, Carmen.
I'm not the same man.
You had three years.
I can't give you any more time.
I can't give you any more.
And you are clearly still the same man.
