[NINA] Dr. Kwame,
Kevin has lost his mind.
[DR. KWAME] Okay. Can
you be more specific?
[NINA] He's got a drinking problem.
- No, I don't.
- [DRE] Yeah, and that shit
seems to run in they family, so
[NINA] It runs in yours too, Dre.
[DR. KWAME] Kevin, do you think
you have a drinking problem?
[KEVIN] Hell nah.
[DRE] Of course he doesn't.
He doesn't know the difference.
[DR. KWAME] Kevin, do
you feel the need to drink
when you're angry or upset?
[KEVIN] No.
[DRE] Look, we all know
he's been through a lot,
but we've been right there with him.
Now, between Kiesha trying to find
a family for the baby and
me and Nina not being on
the best of the terms
Let's not get into our shit.
We just wanna keep our family together.
I'm tired.
I can't hold his hand anymore.
- I just need a break.
- Me too.
[DR. KWAME] Can you
elaborate on that, Kevin?
I just feel like they're
all over me, you know?
And why do you think that is, Kev?
[DR. KWAME] Nina, is there
something you'd like to say?
We've been on him.
But that's because I almost
lost my daughter last year.
That's something you don't forget.
I damn near have a panic attack
whenever they leave the house.
When I'm at work, I
can barely concentrate.
[DRE] It's all right. It's all right.
I'm all over him
because I don't wanna
get that dreaded call.
What call?
That one of y'all laying dead
in a ditch somewhere.
Kevin, let's say your parents
did give you more freedom.
How would you react?
I'd be-I'd be happy.
[DR. KWAME] Well, can you
be trusted to come home
at a decent hour, get
your schoolwork done
without them having to bug you about it?
- She asked you a question.
- [KEVIN] I'm thinking about it.
Yeah. They can trust me.
Nina, you don't seem too convinced.
Because we've heard all that before.
- See, she doesn't believe in me.
- [NINA] Boy
Let's just all start with a fresh slate.
[DRE] Right.

This is the situation
that Jake has put me in.
[DOUDA] I understand that.
I totally get what
you're saying, Fields.
That makes a lot of sense too.
Let me, um let me tell you something.
Sorry I got you in trouble.
I'm just glad you told the truth.
Yeah, but I ain't have to do
it on your show, though.
I want my show to be real,
not just some dumb shit
I do for extra credit.
Why you always try to make people mad?
'Cause if people don't get
mad, they'll never change.
[CHUCKLES]
I guess you're right.
I know I'm right.
[DOOR CLICKS OPEN]
All right, we have a verdict.
Jake, you do not have to
apologize for what you said.
You have the freedom to say it.
And to be honest, if I were you,
I would have said the same shit.
For once, justice is served.
Not so fast.
- I knew it.
- [FIELDS] I'm calling a moratorium
- on BAMN and all BAMN-related activities.
- Why?
Because the guest on your
show incited violence.
- No, I didn't!
- All right, hey, let's-let's calm down.
A violent act was committed
against an innocent Black boy,
and because he talked
about it on my show,
you wanna call a moratorium?
This is bullshit.
Hey, watch your mouth, young lady.
[FIELDS] We're pulling your show.
- For how long?
- Until all this calms down.
Oh, so when racism is over,
then I get to get my show back?
That's fucked up.
Okay, both of y'all need to be thankful
that you're not getting
kicked out of school.
Fuck this school.
Okay, don't even think about it.
[CHUCKLES]
[FIELDS] Whatever happened to a
good old-fashioned ass-whupping?
It stopped working.
Or we let white folks
convince us it was wrong.
It's better for us to show them
the power of their words.
Well,
look what happens when you do that.
I know.
They start thinking for themselves.

Oh, no, no. You good.

Thank you. We just moved in.
[NINA] There's been a lot
of changes this year.
[TRISH] Well, change can
be a good thing, right?
Sometimes.
Well, where do we start?
Why don't you tell us about your family?

our adopted angels.
This is Taylor, this is Simone,

And don't worry, he's not injured.
He just has a lazy eye.
[NINA LAUGHS] Adorable.
Do y'all constantly remind
y'all's children they're adopted?
[TROY] Oh, no, but we
do like to be truthful.
They know they were born
in another woman's belly,
but they were born in our hearts.
- Y'all can't have kids?
- Kiesha.
[TROY] No, we can't.
He has a low sperm count,
and I had ovarian cancer.
- I'm sorry.
- I'm so sorry.
But we are grateful to
all the women out there
who nurtured our babies to life.
And now we get to hold their
hand the rest of the way.
And we would just love to add
another angel to our team,
and we think that child
might be in your belly.
Plus, they've all been
begging for another sibling.
How many kids y'all plan on adopting?
W-we hope yours will be our last.
Okay, I think you answered
all my questions.
Yeah, me too.
Well, thank you for inviting
us into your lovely home.
[NINA] We appreciate
you making the trip.
[TRISH] I know this won't be
an easy decision to make,
so take your time.
Thanks.
But it's obvious you're good
at making godly decisions.
What?
Well, you already chose
to make the godly decision
by not killing your baby.
That decision ain't have
nothing to do with God.
[TROY] Everything has to do with God.

We don't just read
the Bible in our house.
We live by it too.
