Meatfest

[MANTIS] Oh, hello.
Let me catch you up with what happened
previously on Blindspotting.
[FUNKY MUSIC PLAYS]
Bitch!
- [WHISPERING]
- Earl!
I got you a present for keeping bugs in.
[MILES] Is your girlfriend
cheating on you with her new boyfriend?
[EARL] Are you gonna tell Jacque
you're in love with her?
- Don't let nobody steal your joy.
- I need to break them up.
I need to break them up.
I may have told Cuddie some
disastrous costume advice.
You a pirate, Pare. We kill pirates!
[CROWING]
I say this with love,
but y'all are hella
stubborn as a family.
You are not my sister.
Let's make that 1,000% clear.
You are my brother's fucking
luggage that he dropped off here.
Mustafa.
I want you to come back
to Bali, be my wife again.
- [KID] What the fuck is that?
- [ASHLEY] It's a Thizzly bear.
And his dad made it for him in prison.
Oh, Trish, you stole these for me?
- Do those say Oakland?
- Yeah.
- Ooh, I like these.
- Thank you.
Fuck, it feels so good to be out
doing some normal ass shit, girl.
Can I buy you a drink?

[TEENA] You think I
didn't see you in there
kissing that pale-ass nigga?
Looks like you lost an earring.
[SMOOTH HIP-HOP PLAYS]

[DRAMATIC MUSIC PLAYS]

[SEAN] Oh, no, no, no, no!
This can't be happening.
Oh, this is bad.
We're at a full-scale red alert!
The mantises are loose!
Oh, what are we gonna do, Thizzly?
- What are we gonna do?
- [THIZZLY ROARS]
Mom's gonna kill me.
Oh.
[STUNNA] What the fuck is that?
- Bugs!

- [ROOMMATE] Shoot 'em!
- [ALL SHOUTING]
[FREDDY] Where are you guys?
[ALL SHOUTING]
[ROOMMATE] Oh, shit!
- It's on your face!
- [GRUNTING]
- [ROOMMATE SCREAMS]
- What is this, Bug's Life?
[ALL YELLING]
Hey, what the hell is Meatfest, anyway?
So Miles' daddy was a two-timing vegan.
And to commemorate
cutting his ass off
Right.
Rainey started Meatfest, a'ight?
Not a vegetable in the crib.
I'm talking meat only.
You feel me? You dig?
Anyway, that annual tradition
has been going on for 27 years?
[LAUGHS] Yo, this is a lot of meat.
- [FREDDY] Help me out here.
- [STUNNA] Ow! Fuck.
[ROOMMATES SCREAMING]
Yo, who's is this?
[STUNNA] Oh, shit. Oh, oh! Ooh!
[FREDDY] Wait, she's coming!
- [ROOMMATES SHOUTING]
- [EARL] Oh, hold up.
Hey, y'all, who know
where this earring is from?
- [ROOMMATE] What?
- [ROOMMATE] I don't know.
[ROOMMATE] Who cares?
Oh, this sexy-ass girl I hooked up with
last week at Luka's.
[STUNNA] Ooh, did you hit that?
[ROOMMATE] Fuck yeah, I did.
- [SHOUTING]
- Bug queen!
Hey, hey, what she look like?
- Fall back. Fall back.
- She's powering up her scorpion tail!
Light-skinned Black girl,
big curly hair, big booty.
She has a-a rose
tattoo on her shoulder.
She told me her name,
but I was hella lit.
Uh, Amber? Anika? Alexis?
Ashley. Her name is Ashley.
- [BOMB WHISTLING]
- Fuck!
[EXPLOSION]

[GAME NARRATOR] Game over.
[FUNKY MUSIC PLAYS]
[MUFFLED MUSIC]

- Hey.
- [GUEST] Hi, Rainey.
What's that for?
In this house, Trish is
surrounded by white people
because of Miles and me.
So for the holidays, we decided to cap
the amount of white
people allowed at Meatfest.
This year, we're down to six.
I gotta do more to reduce
the white footprint.
You do know you're white.
I already clicked one for me.
You better click one for Darrell.
He's coming, right?
Yeah, but he's not white.
He's Chilean-something.
I'm not dating another white guy,
and I'm not going double
white in this neighborhood.
He looks white to me.
Why do you think I
call him White Darrell?
'Cause he's not Black.
I am not that reductive.
Wait, wait, Rainey,
you're dating someone new
and keeping it a secret from us?
I've had, like, two dates with the guy.
Well, if he looks white,
he reaps all the benefits
of being white, so guess what.
He's white.
And that's a fair point.
He's not white like me-white.
Well, show us a picture.
I can't because my phone
is in the Be Present basket.
No phones till after dinner.
Did y'all drop your
phones in that basket?
- Oh, yeah, yeah.
- All right, keep it simple.
Does he go to Blondie's
or Fat Slice for pizza?
And don't think. Just answer.
- I think Fat Slice.
- He's Black.
No, he's just not Blondie's white.
And Asians go to Blondie's.
Don't be grouping us with white people.
Yellow Peril supports Black Power.
Well, bring the Asians to Fat Slice.
No, go to Graffiti Pizza.
A Black woman owns that.
[MARTY] Don't be grouping
all us Asians together.
- I'm Taiwanese.
- Yeah.
[TOGETHER] Not to be
mistaken for mainland China.
I know, babe. [CHUCKLES]
Does Darrell use a washcloth
- or a naked bar of soap?
- [RAINEY] I don't know.
I haven't showered with him yet.
- [NANCY] Oh.
- Okay.
[LAUGHTER]
- Ashley!
- [DOOR SLAMS]
[SUSPENSEFUL MUSIC PLAYS]

[ASHLEY] Oh, fuck. No, no, no, no, no.
No, no, no, no, no, no.
- Mommy! Mommy
- [ASHLEY] No! Shh, shh.
- Shut up. Shut up.
- [TRISH GRUNTING]
Let me go, you bitch!
Okay! Okay, okay, okay.
Listen to me. It's not what you think.
You fucking ho-ass, trick-ass
No, no, no, no, no. It was
nothing. Just let me explain.
Bitch, you cheated on my
brother while he is in prison.
You his wife, Ash!
Ooh, I cannot wait to tell everyone.
- You are fucking done.
- I-I-I just
Hey, what up, y'all?
- [ALL GREETING]
- Spice King and his thang.
What's good with y'all?
[PERSON] Hope you got them hot wings.
Oh, look, baby, No Phones Be Present.
- You dig this?
- [JUNE] I love it.
Earl, I'm so glad you're here.
There's a code red
emergency. I need your help.
Trish is here already?
I have no idea. But
the bug terrarium broke.
What?
I used my mom's Amazon to
buy praying mantis eggs,
and then they all hatched.
- And then they escaped.
- Oh, shit.
Meet me in my room.
You can bring your friend.
It's not She has so much going on
What are you waiting for? Come on.
[EARL] Okay, I gotta put this meat in
[GUEST] Hey, what up, E?
Hey, hey, man, what's up?
No, I said, "Why are they bugging me?"
We didn't say nothing about no bugs.
[ASHLEY] Trish, I'ma need
you just to be quiet, okay?
And I need you to keep it between us.
Oh, do you?
Well, Earl knows
because your side meat
is his fucking roommate!
Now I'm 'bout to tell my mama.
He is not my fucking side meat! Fuck!
I just-I just need you
to give me a chance
to figure it out, okay?
I am begging you.
Fuck you, Ashley.
We trusted you.
Ma!
Fucking Christ. Just fine! Fine.
But if you tell her, I will tell Jacque
that you are in love with
her and that you tried
to sabotage Cuddie.
[FUNKY MUSIC PLAYS IN BACKGROUND]

[SCOFFS] Wow.
Wow! Okay.
Just leave it alone until
after Meatfest, okay?
And I will tell Rainey myself.
Trish, you're on duty.
You know what to do. White cap is six.
We're at three now, including me.
Is everything all right?
Yeah, just hungry for that meat.
[SCOFFS] Ain't that the truth.
Fuck you, you lumberjack-looking bitch.
[WHISPERING] Fuck you.
Dumbass fucking bitch.
[EARL] How could they all have escaped?
I'm seven.
Okay, how many mantises
are we talking about here?
At least ten.
But they kept on
hatching, so could be more.
My God, a whole
congregation of mantises.
Okay, Sean, we got you.
[JANELLE] I'm off to check on Sean.
This is our secret.
[JANELLE] Baby boy.
Oh, shit, what the
Oh.
Hi, Earl.
- You must be June.
- [JUNE] Mm-hmm.
I'm Janelle. It's nice to meet you.
It's nice to meet you.
- No Mustafa?
- [JANELLE] Uh, no.
He had to go back to Bali
to take care of his daughter.
- My fiancé.
- Oh, fiancé, not divorcée?
She said fiancé.
- Future fiancé.
- [EARL] Okay, fiancé.
We're just excited to meet your
[BOTH] Future fiancé.
Stop saying fiancé!
Sean's bugs got loose.
Now his ass is on the line.
- [SEAN] Earl!
- Oh!
You told!
Yeah, but we need all
the help we can get.
I don't know what the hell
you got bugs for, anyway.
Ashley ain't never heard of a dog?
Just find them before Mom sees.
And boom.
- Oh.
- Oh, nice.
- Now that's good
- Pace yourself.
Just remember to save room for the pig.
[SCOTTY] But he wanted
me to move to Nice,
and I said that's out of the question.
Oh, my goodness.
- Oh, hey Miss Tammy.
- [TAMMY] Hey, baby.
Oh, a teardrop earring
looks good on you, honey.
- [LAUGHS]
- [TAMMY] Thank you, sugar!
Oh, there you are.
Oh, God, you look like shit.
[ASHLEY WHIMPERS]
Oh, okay, uh
okay, what is wrong?
Uh, excuse me!
- I messed up, okay?
- Okay.
Last week, I went to
a bar and we had drinks
and there was music and dancing,
and then I kissed someone.
And it doesn't it
doesn't mean anything.
But but Trish found out,
and now she wants to tell Rainey.
Look, don't worry.
I kissed two guys today already.
It's the holidays.
- That's not the same!
- Mm.
Yo, I don't know what this
shit will do to my family.
But I have to do what's right, right?
Oh God, my heart.
Who's gonna be couple
goals for Cuddie and me now,
Steph and Ayesha?
Girl, you know I can't cook.
How are you making this
about Cuddie right now?
I mean, they were kind
of goals, you know?
[SCOTTY] Does she have any proof?
Yes, she has one of my earrings.
So what? So she has
one and you have one.
They cancel each other out,
like that time I had
a threesome with my ex.
Okay, this-this-
this isn't helping.
Wake up, bitch.
It's your word against hers.
And let's face it, she is a lot,
like Kirstie Alley on Twitter.
- Have you followed that bitch?
- [ASHLEY] No.
Honey, she has lost her damn mind.
She's always lounging in her pajamas.
Okay, so, um, what-what do
I say, that-that she's lying?
I should just tell, right?
It's my word against hers.
I don't think that's gonna be enough.
Who else knows?
[ASHLEY] Earl knows!
Well, what are you doing talking to me?
You need to go make
sure he shuts his trap.
Yeah, you-you're right. Here.
- Oh.
- Here, here, here.
Find Earl. Find Earl. Oh
And find wine. Find wine. Find wine.
Rainey, my angel.
Oh, I hate that bitch so fucking much!
[SCOTTY] Can I get some more wine?
[RAINEY] I have wine.

Get your own damn plate, Trish!
All right, Earl, where you at?

[SINGER] Sitting in the dark ♪
[CLEARING THROAT]
Nancy! Nancy. Nance.
I have a situation.
Oh, Lord. What now?
Ashley may have
stepped out on Miles with my roommate.
Now, she says it was
nothing, and I believe her.
But who cares what I believe
'cause Trish found out
and went crazy and says she
wanna go to Rainey with it.
Ashley's asked me not to say anything,
but Trish isn't having it.
They both coming for me.
And I keep saying, "Hey, I'm Swiss!
Like good cheese and chocolate."
And I got a lot of
things that I'm juggling
I'm not even telling oh!
I felt that on the other side.
I can't believe you're
putting all this on my plate
when I got all this on my plate.
I'll handle it. Don't do shit.

What the fuck?

She-she couldn't hear me, right?
Ah, I was using my whisper voice.
[JANELLE] Get your ass in there.
Ow! Ow!
Bitch, are you serious?
You cheated on Miles?
Who told you that?
Earl told my mama.
How the fuck you gon' tell
him before you tell me?
Oh, fuck, it's spreading.
First of all, it meant nothing.
And I didn't tell anyone. He found out.
Fuck.
Ash, you know I get it, okay?
But you gon' have to tell Rainey
before anybody else does.
Tell her I kissed another
man at fucking Meatfest,
the very festival she created to spite
a man who cheated on her?
Oh, yeah, Rainey don't play that.
- Mm.

Occupied!
Okay, take your time.
I'll go upstairs.
Mommy, Mommy, do you have a second?
Yes, baby. What is it?
Mom, I need to tell you some real

- Okay, wait, wait, one sec.
- I'll be right back.
- I just have to pee.
- Mom.
You keep that Ashley shit to yourself.
Don't tell your mama or anybody else.
Why?
Everybody deserves to know
what a scammer Ashley is.
Whatever happened to all that
ride or die loyalty bullshit
she be talking about?
I understand where you coming from.
But be honest with yourself.
Are you trying to help
Miles or just hurt Ashley?
Hmm? What are you up to?

Go, go, go, hurry up, hurry up.
Hi, Trish.
Hey, girl.
I brought bone broth.
Great.
Okay, that's five whites.
- One spot to go.

Bone broth.
[JANELLE] Now, see,
if my Mustafa was here,
he would have captured all of these
in under 30 seconds flat.
Did I mention his judo skills?
Not in the last five minutes.
When do we get to meet the
magical Mustafa, anyway?
Well, maybe you can come visit us.
[JUNE] Oh, yes, I love Bali.
You're moving back to
Bali with Prince Charming?
Shh! Shh! Dang, Earl.
It's still a secret, a'ight?
I ain't told Ash yet.
Okay, but now the vault is closed.

Well, you all have been there

When I was too proud or scared to ask,
you have always been a constant support.
And I can trust you
to be honest with me,
even when the truth hurts.
And that, my friends, is loyalty.
You are my chosen family.
