[HORNS HONK.]
You really okay with letting Muffin make the call on this video? After rehab, she wants more control of her life and career.
20 years later, I'm really trying to listen to my artists.
And what if she doesn't feel comfortable partying with Marie Antoinette? - We'll figure it out.
- Hmm.
New you, new Muffin.
[BOTH CHUCKLE.]
Things going well with us and Jojo, right? - Yeah.
- I mean, we're co-parenting.
Yeah, well, this co-parent would like to hang out with Jojo solo dolo.
If it's okay with you.
I mean, why wouldn't it be? Your face.
Sorry.
I mean, of course you two should hang out.
Yeah, we really haven't spent any time alone since the whole Say no more, Eric.
I'm good.
[DOOR OPENS.]
Look, we can do reshoots and come up with a new concept if this I'm good.
That's what they want.
That's my image.
This is my job.
I'm sober.
I'm in a good place.
The next thing is keeping Lauren and Muffin separate.
And trust me, that's not easy.
And you've only been out of rehab a minute.
Serenity, courage, and wisdom.
I want to be regular off stage.
I'm gonna drive to the grocery store and do my laundry.
Does my house have a Washer? - No, that would go where the iguanas are.
- [CELLPHONE CHIMES.]
Oh.
Okay.
But I'm good.
I promise.
Okay.
Gettin' to the bag! Queens emergency meeting.
Maybe Jill has a different definition of an emergency meeting.
I mean, she already bailed on picking Muffin up from rehab, so I had to.
How is Lauren? [SIGHS.]
Well, she traded in her iguanas for a washer.
I mean, I'd say that's progress, but I'm afraid she's jumping back in the game too soon.
- [DOOR OPENS.]
- Remember when Jill Oh, sorry.
Sorry, sorry, sorry, sorry, sorry.
Oh! I tried to squeeze in a photo shoot this morning with Christian Siriano.
Who is that? - Alicia.
Hi.
- We're friends.
I've been helping Jill create an impact with her new community.
- Oh.
- "Friends"? I saw y'all making out on my Nest Cam at 3:00 a.
m.
- Ooh.
- Damn.
Can I live? As expected, the new song is crushing radio.
So being the impeccable manager I am, I parlayed that momentum into a performance at the AMAs.
The American Music Awards.
"Damn, Eric, that's dope.
Wow.
The AMAs are huge.
" Damn, Eric, that's dope.
It's just, the last time we performed was a disaster.
That damn hole.
We have the hot single.
Now we need a big performance.
Look, I mean, San Diego did suck, y'all, but we in this 100%.
I mean, the AMAs could launch us into a tour.
We can't say yes to a live performance if you're all not in.
We all gotta do it.
Strategically, it's the right move.
No holes.
Look, the problem with San Diego is we didn't put in the work.
We literally lock ourselves in this room till our show is impeccable.
[CELLPHONE CHIMES.]
Okay.
- Okay.
- I gotta go.
- Oh.
- You got Go team.
Ugh.
Japanese Sencha always helped with my nausea during my pregnancies.
This is so weird.
[CHUCKLES.]
Which part? Banging my husband? Puking on his dead body at the funeral that you weren't invited to? Or the fact that you're the only person who could get me to cry over losing my husband? Am am I supposed to answer? [SIGHS.]
I'm sorry.
Listen, it's just that this baby will be a sibling to my kids.
You want to know if I'm going to keep it? Yes.
It's selfish, but yes.
What would you do if you were me? [EXHALES SHARPLY.]
This is your choice.
[EXHALES SHARPLY.]
I'm 24.
I've got insane student loans.
I have roommates.
I'm not ready to have a baby.
But I loved him.
It's totally cool to never, ever say that to me again.
I need time to think.
Is that okay? Okay.
- And snap.
- Snap.
- Yes.
- It's gonna be fire! That's it.
How long did Eric say we had until that AMAs party? I'm gonna call Dr.
Huvane for a little refresh.
- Girl, quit.
- Don't judge.
- I'm not judging you.
- I am.
Even after five hours of rehearsal, you still look stunning.
El cuchillo.
Only 70% of the flesh you see is God-given.
Don't act surprised.
I'm 40.
I've been in Hollywood for two decades, and now I'm with three gorgeous Black women who annoyingly don't age.
- Oh.
- There's nothing wrong with a little upkeep.
Don't touch your face.
Remember when you had a bad reaction and had to take a month off from "The Shade"? Shh! I still can't believe you got - Google alerts on a bitch.
- Oh! Look, we can't have you looking like Angelina a week away from the AMAs.
You are beautiful, Valeria.
You will never not be a bad bitch.
You're right.
I'm trippin'.
- Mm-hmm.
- I won't touch my face.
- Oh! - Ass shots? You got ass shots? I said I wouldn't touch my face.
Dr.
Huvane hit a nerve.
It happens.
Uh, you can't walk.
I mean, how are we gonna prep for the AMAs? The last time this happened, I was good in 48 hours.
You guys don't get it.
Five months ago, I was on TV every day.
No dis, but now Jill is more famous than me.
Wh How is that not a dis? I'll be fine.
I promise.
My ass looks great.
If I could stand, I'd show you.
[CHUCKLES.]
I just need rest.
I'm already feeling better.
Aaah! - Crazy.
- That's what you get.
VALERIA: Ah.
[INHALES SHARPLY.]
Ah.
Ah.
[INHALES SHARPLY.]
Ugh.
[GRUNTING.]
[ALARM BLARING.]
[GASPS.]
[BLARING CONTINUES.]
Ah! - [TIRES SCREECHING.]
- That's right! You better run! I think I have a stalker.
I think I have a stalker.
Someone is obsessed with me! [INDISTINCT CONVERSATIONS.]
[PA BEEPS.]
MAN: Cleanup on aisle 9.
Thank you.
[LINE CLICKS.]
42? [SQUEALS.]
That's me! Ham, please.
How much? - Four.
- Pounds? - Hams? - Whole hams? That's a lot.
Four pounds, then.
Still a lot.
If it's just for you, I'd go with half a pound.
Half of a pound of basic person's ham, please.
Smoked or regular? I'll let you try both, and then you can choose.
Oh.
Listen, I don't want any preferential treatment, okay? I'm trying to be regular live my life like a normal poor person.
Lady, I literally do this for everyone.
[SIGHS.]
[SCANNER BEEPING.]
[CLEARS THROAT.]
[BEEPING CONTINUES.]
[CHUCKLES.]
I totally forgot Muffin even existed.
I know.
I can't believe I ever thought she was on Doja's level.
She's just super cheugy right now, right? Right.
- Ah! - God.
Your chain is a lot.
It's fresh, right? It's a lot.
Well, should we order a couple of beers or what? I have rehearsal tomorrow.
Is this whole situation Weird without Mom here? Yeah.
She was a little weird about it, too.
'Bout you kicking it with your dad? Is it cool if I just call you Eric for now? Yeah, of course.
JARED: Yo, you're Eric Jones.
- What's good? - We're OG Stans.
I had your Gun Hill Mafia mixtape back in the day.
Okay.
Blessings, man.
What's up? - Uh, can we get a picture? - Yeah.
Yeah, for sure.
No doubt, no doubt.
Grab a pic with E-Roc.
Throw them deuces up, man.
A'ight? Eh, yo! What the hell, man? - Oh, my God.
- Get back here! - Can't breathe when I come through - [CAR HORN HONKS.]
- Hum too, some shoes, gotta be twenty man - Yo! It's not even funny they can't Breathe The chokehold's too tight The left looks too right You know what? You right These can't They snatched my chain.
- You gotta call the cops.
- What? No.
This hip-hop.
No cops.
And where I come from, ain't nothing more disrespectful than getting your chain tooken off your neck.
We gotta find those clowns, get my chain back, - and teach them a lesson.
- That sounds super dumb.
Trust me.
I want to know about your world, but this is your chance to get to know a little bit more about mine.
It's just a chain.
It's principle, all right? There's a code.
You gotta stand up for yourself.
Okay.
You're too old to do this alone.
Those kids are too young to know anything about the Gun Hill mixtape.
Somebody put them up to this.
I think I know who.
And you gotta All the money in the world My girls gonna run dat The household and the boardroom My girls gonna run dat Tell the men to bow down now My girls gonna run dat - The kingdom and the crown now - Oh, wait.
Stop, stop, stop, stop, stop, stop.
We need a break, 'cause this ain't it.
Yo, we got the biggest performance of our lives at the end of the week.
Jill isn't here, and this bitch is doing choreo in a chair.
I'll be fine.
I couldn't even straighten my leg last night.
[GRUNTS.]
[EXHALES SHARPLY.]
I'm disabled.
What's your excuse? Y'all, my mind is twisted.
I have no idea what Alexis is gonna do about this baby.
You met with Alexis? She is having my husband's kid.
I had this exact storyline on "Guiding Light".
I was the mistress.
I had the baby, for what it's worth.
I can't be the chick to tell another chick to get an abortion.
Mnh-mnh, even if that's what you're thinking.
You know, I went to tell Jill last night, but she is never around.
Eric and Jojo hung out yesterday without me.
And they're going out again today.
I mean, it's good.
He's trying to make up for lost time, but I lost a lot of time with her, too.
You will always be her mom.
Nothing will change that.
I know.
Man, family will have you twisted.
They'll have you out here serving Japanese Sencha to your husband's mistress.
[CHUCKLES.]
Somebody ask me if I have a stalker.
I do.
He probably followed me here.
Girl, you need to go to the police.
- Police.
- Press? - Why? - What? - Huh? - Huh? If she goes to the police, then the stalker might stop.
Then she can't play it to her advantage in the press.
- Oh.
- They're harmless.
In my experience, they creep around for a little bit, and then they fade away when their mom kicks them out - of their basement.
- [DOOR OPENS.]
- Until then, win-win.
- [CHUCKLES.]
[LAUGHING.]
Wow.
Where's Jill? Uh, isn't she usually with you? Oh, the lunch I set up with Stacey Abrams must have gone over.
Did you drive all the way over here to flex? Jill's in a great place.
Her husband is being quite cooperative with the annulment, and she is blossoming.
Ugh.
The way you said "blossoming" was mad gross.
The world is very much looking forward to seeing Jill and the Queens at the AMAs.
- Ooh.
- Oh.
- [BRITISH ACCENT.]
- That our new name, is it, love? Well, there won't be a show if Jill doesn't rehearse with the Queens.
I'll phone her now.
Okay.
Bree, what are you gonna do about Alexis? I know what I'm gonna do.
I can't have this baby.
No one else knows I'm pregnant, obviously.
I don't have anyone.
This is a crazy thing to ask, but will you go with me? [EXHALES DEEPLY.]
You shouldn't have to go alone.
Mmm.
Cavalli or Fendi? Fendi.
It's undeniable.
JILL: Ooh.
We are all set for your surprise performance at the AMA pre-party.
Should I tell the ladies? So they can talk you out of it? Babe, it's okay to take the spotlight for yourself.
You've earned it.
Thank you for helping me.
[SIGHS.]
This couldn't be going any better.
[LAPTOP CHIMES.]
Declined? [LAPTOP CHIMING.]
What the hell? You froze the accounts? I hired an attorney that advised me to take a different approach.
Darren, I thought we were good.
We were, until I saw you making out with someone who wasn't Tina on Instagram.
You left me for Tina.
Turns out, it wasn't about Tina at all.
So, you're punishing me? I'm protecting myself.
By holding up the divorce? Look, I know I hurt you, and I can't begin to put myself in your shoes, but the best way for both of us to heal is to separate as peacefully as possible.
Dragging this out won't make either of us feel better.
This isn't you.
I know it isn't.
If I sign, it's over.
We're over.
It is over, Darren.
You have to let me go.
Are you happy? I don't know what you want to hear.
Your voice.
I'll sign.
I'll unfreeze the accounts.
I will let you go.
- [CELLPHONE BEEPS.]
- [SNIFFLES.]
[CELLPHONE CLICKS.]
So, you think this person you had a beef with 20 years ago sent Chet, Chet, and Chet to steal your chain and bring it back to him? He vowed to get back at me after the White Tiger incident.
White Tiger incident? Don't tell your mom about what you see in here.
Don't get it twisted, y'all Recognize, recognize, recognize Tell the boss E-Roc needs a word.
Someone named E-Roc's here to see you.
[MAN LAUGHS.]
Kill you on tape, then watch it over a beer 'Cause you ain't nothin' but a movie with expensive footage That's the reason they gonna leave you With expensive bullets Ain't none of y'all better than LOX Have all of y'all dressed up in a suit, dead in a box Me and get Redd-er than Foxx And I don't care if I love you I still want in the drop runnin' round talkin' that Y2K Crackheads'll still gon' want that gray I know you got my chain.
You've got some nerve showing up here with This your muscle? - That's my daughter.
- You're Jadakiss.
No, I'm your pop's mortal enemy.
You had those kids snatch my chain because I snagged those white tigers you wanted for your video.
You trying to look cool in front of your daughter, or did that dusty-ass chain actually mean something to you? I want it back.
What do you think this is? "The Karate Kid III"? You think I've been sitting around plotting revenge 'cause you crane-kicked Johnny at the All-Valley Karate Tournament? Bro, I'm so flush in Dogecoin, I could buy and sell you five times over.
Let it go, Jones.
Now, get out of here before I change my mind and one of my goons heats your ass up.
Don't get it twisted, y'all Recognize, recognize, recognize - Ruff Ryders - Let's go.
L to the O to the X Recognize, recognize, recognize Ruff Ryders I know we almost just died, but that was the coolest thing that's ever happened to me.

Am I played out? - Maybe.
- Nah.
Which one is it? - Nah.
- Maybe.
Okay, tea.
Before rehab, you were the GOAT.
You made those crusty Queens hype.
You've been gone a minute.
A minute in hip-hop is like a lifetime, and two months is like a lot more than that.
Plus, you never wanna bake anymore.
I went to rehab.
Your video flopped hard.
And I told my whole family I was in it.
Okay, hold on.
I can still be hot, all right? There's not another artist out there like me.
Oh, that's because you kept it moving.
You always upped yourself.
- You're saying I'm - A stale Muffin.
Look, you just gotta figure out how to get back in the conversation.
I like our lives, Muff.
I don't want to lose that.
Hold on.
Y'all know this is my life, right? Here she go acting brand new again.
The literal point of rehab is to act brand new.
Yo, look at this.
Doja Cat got a chain with her own ass on it? In diamonds?! Okurr! No cap, hype as hell.
This the kind of maneuver that keeps you on top.
Damn! Who's the jeweler?

You deserve a vacation from life for a while.
Um, for real.
I'm getting 1999 drunk.
[GLASSES CLINK.]
My stalker story's only circulating on C-level blogs.
I wish this creep would make a move and do something more threatening.
Or Or I get caught creeping out of Fivio Foreign's house.
Who? Oh, how do you know these people? Clout chasing, is a full-time job, bebita.

Aren't you sick of following rules when nobody else follows them? Wait.
Where's Jill? ALICIA: Check, one-two.
Hello! Can I have everyone's attention? - [CHEERS AND APPLAUSE.]
- Whoo! Thank you, everyone, for attending the Out Magazine pre-AMAs party.

So, you don't have anything to tell me? I didn't see you call Fivio and dip out of that party? Came straight home.
- Mm-hmm.
- Oh, my God! - What? - Nothing.
Doesn't sound like nothing.
TikTok reaction videos to the Nasty Butches.
I need to call Dad.
Dad? Eric, I mean.
Girl, I am trying so hard not to be jealous of what those two have going on.
It's good she called him "Dad.
" - That's what you want.
- I just don't want to lose her.
You will not lose her.
What we need to be worried about is that performance.
We don't feel together, and Jill is on another planet.
It's the AMAs.
Live TV.
We can't blow it.
Yo, when's that thing you have to do with Alexis? Tomorrow.
Eric is picking me up.
We're going to the movies.
- Is that cool? - Yeah, baby.
We have rehearsal anyway.
- Movies? - She's been lying to me.
Are you sure I'm not losing her? I'm sure.
[SIGHS.]
All right.
Yo, yo, yo, Eric Jones, we got your chain, boy.
- OG Stans coming at you.
- Hey, let's see it.
- Let's see it.
- JOJO: This is a thing.
"#SnatchAChainChallenge".
It started amongst a few dumb kids, but now people are going around snatching famous people's chains for clout.
What world we living in? It's just a chain, though.
We know who they are.
We should go to the cops, and these punks will get what they deserve.
You don't have to prove to me that you're tough or young or cool.
I'm just glad we finally get to hang out.
It's not just a chain, though.
I bought it 20 years ago, a few months after the group broke up.
I hadn't spoken to her since she quit in San Diego.
Then I heard from a friend that she was pregnant.
Now, obviously, didn't know what I know now, but I knew that meant that we'd never be together.
So, I went to Jacob for 20 stacks.
Expensive Band-Aid.
I was, um you know.
My plan was to give it to you at lunch.
I slipped and called you "Dad" to my mom.
Is that cool, Dad? Very.
[LAUGHTER.]
Let's get our chain back.
All the money in the world My girls gonna run dat The household and the boardroom My girls gonna run dat Tell the men to bow down now My girls gonna run dat The kingdom and the crown now My girls gonna run dat Ay, you getting money, put your hands in the air now You independent, put your hands in the air now You a good woman, hands in the air now You want it all, put your hands in the air now O-O-Okay.
[LAUGHTER.]
So, V, what's the stalker update? No sightings, no press.
But it's okay.
I need to chill.
Seeing Muffin with a unicorn horn scared the hell out of me.
I've got us, and if we nail this performance, there'll be enough shine to go around.
You went to therapy this morning.
- All morning.
- [LAUGHTER.]
[DOOR OPENS, CLOSES.]
- I am so - Unh-unh, save it.
We only have an hour left in the studio.
What's with the attitude? Whatever.
Let's Let's rehearse.
Yeah.
Whatever.
You know, not whatever.
That stunt you pulled last night wasn't cool.
It seems it was received very positively on the blogs.
That's kinda not the point.
Well, what is the point, Valeria? Jill, come on, you shouldn't be performing our songs without us.
Apologize and keep it moving, fam.
What's good for me is good for us.
- That was for us? - You're welcome.
You know, you said you were gonna move in with me to help me with the kids and be there for me because my husband died.
You're not around, and you're not even there for me.
Is that what this is about? I'm a grown woman.
So are you.
You ain't acting grown.
Look, Alicia is looking out for my opportunities opportunities I never had back in the day.
I mean, you were the badass sex symbol.
Valeria was this Puerto Rican goddess, while you were some genius lyrical mind.
But I was a young woman wearing stuff that I didn't want to wear and rapping about things that weren't at all my truth, and now I get to be me.
This is the real Jill.
And you know what? I am finally getting the attention that I deserve, and you're massively jealous.
Oh! [SCOFFS.]
If this is the "real" Jill, I don't want no part.
- You don't mean that.
- Oh, looks like she does.
And I mean everything I'm about to say I don't need any of this, and I don't need this group.
[SCOFFS.]
Bree, tell her that's not what you want.
Jill, that's not what any of us want.
Oh, no, she should do what she wants.
She's grown, right? [SCOFFS.]
[SCOFFS.]
Oh, my God.
No.
I'm the prettiest woman you ever have seen in your life I'm that chick They get in my business but never could seem to get right - I'm that chick - I wanna party in Hollywood Where you could be who you like I'm that chick Got a Ferrari I hardly will drive And it's pretty and white - I'm that chick - I'm that chick, fly girl My crib, my world My whips, my - [DOOR CLOSES.]
- What are you doing here? I need to tweak my vocals on the backing track for the American Music Awards performance, if it even happens.
- Y'all beefing again? - Jill is acting like old Naomi, Bree is acting like new Naomi, and Naomi and I are caught in the middle like old Jill.
That sounds really cool, but I don't get anything you just said.
- We're acting like Nasty Bitches, not Queens.
- Okay.
How much did that horn in your head cost? Five.
- Mm.
That's cheap.
- Million! - Dollars?! - Does it look cheaper? I'm not sure that's the right question, honey.
And it's surgically implanted in your face? I know you're not dissing cosmetic surgery.
- Why'd you do it? - Why you laying cheese crumbs for a stalker mouse and getting helium shots into your ass? Helium? [CHUCKLES.]
Where do you come up with this stuff? I'm not gonna give you any advice.
I am not Jill, and frankly Jill could use some advice from old Jill.
- For real.
- Mm-hmm.
Just be careful.
I've been in this business a long time, and right when you think you've figured it out, it throws you a curveball.
No matter what you do, the only thing that matters is how you feel when you look at yourself in the mirror at 3:00 a.
m.
, when the crowd stops chanting, when your crew finds someone else to leech off of.
Are you cool with what you see in the mirror? That's your identity.
Are you cool when you look in the mirror? Nobody said it was easy.
I need some tea.
[DOOR OPENS.]
JAMARI: Your TikTok gained 750,000 viewers since the AMA Party.

[INHALES DEEPLY.]
I need to change for the Complex photo shoot.
[SIGHS.]
[SIGHS.]

[GROANING.]
Aah! What the heck?! [BREATHING HEAVILY.]
Who else can't wait for tomorrow night, when the music industry descends on Los Angeles for the American Music Awards? I'm talking performances by Adele, Lil Nas X, Megan Thee Stallion, Luke Bryan, Taylor Swift, and our favorite comeback kids, Queens.
That's right.
The ladies are back and better than ever.
- Thank you.
- For what? Letting me get to know him.
He's a good guy.
And I love you, Mom.

[EXHALES SHARPLY.]
She's gone.
Alexis is gone with that baby inside of her, and I don't know what she's gonna do.
- We'll figure it out, okay? - [KNOCK ON DOOR.]
Darren, what are you doing here? [SNIFFLES.]
I had to do this in person.
You have no idea how hard this is for me.
- Uh - What are you doing?! [BREATHING SHAKILY.]
Darren! And the tongue is a fire, in a world of unrighteousness.
Hey, bruh, you gotta go! Get out! I could never harm you, Jill, but I also can't let you go.
- Oh, my gosh! - Oh.
What the hell was that all about?! When you feel you're taking all that you can take And the tears are rivers running down your face, yeah Oh, my God.
