- Can you take Baylor, too? All right.
Dessie, there's chicken.
She's a she's a vegan! Then she ain't got to eat it.
Dessie, I I Please be nice to my girlfriend.
I I really like her.
And what makes you think I wouldn't be? Years and years of experience.
Besides, I've been very cordial to Tony.

To the baddest bitch in Palmetto.
You work your ass off, baby.
You making the paper to show for it, but you still got some left for your boy.
Keep talking that sweet talk, baby, and I'ma reward you again.
My sister has always been very very comfortable with her abundant sexual appetite.
Well, that's the way nature made women.
It was society that had other ideas.
Well, Eve, what made you decide to become a midwife? It was actually by accident.
I was out camping in the Everglades with a pregnant friend, and she went into labor, so I delivered that baby in between two palm trees with a possum watching the entire thing.
Hell no! Girl, give me a hospital and all the drugs, okay? What? Dean, it was one thing when women didn't have a choice but to squat in the dirt and have a baby, but now? Shiiit! Dessie, you're being very disrespectful to my girlfriend's beliefs.
Uh, the honesty is appreciated, and in the name of honesty, uh, maybe I should clarify that I am not your girlfriend.
Oh.
Oh, oh, oh! Uh, uh, oh.
I I, um, then Okay.
Then then Then what are we? Because I thought I thought I thought we had something special.
Anybody, uh, want anymore wine or hit a blunt? - Mnh-mnh.
- What I meant to say was that I just don't like labels.
Maybe we can talk about this another time? No, I I I I want to talk about it right now.
I want to And and And labels are essential for categorizing and understanding the world, so Dean, I think what she's trying to say I know what she's trying to say, Dessie! Dean? I'm glad we past that shit.
You know what I'm saying? We ain't past nothing.
What you talking about? Come on, now.
You know you my girl.
You cute, but I ain't nobody's girl.
I don't belong to nobody but myself.
Can you get me some more wine? Yeah.
You still haven't told Desna? Do you want to get beaten? Georgia promised to keep her mouth shut about killing Bambi.
- Relax, Pol! - Easy for you to say.
Now I have to keep it up with Des, and you know how bad I am at lying.
Okay.
I'm great at lying, but Ladies, I got some great news.
Tom Selleck, you unhand me! Hey, girl.
You okay? Yeah.
Yeah.
I guess I just fell asleep.
You been here since yesterday? Well, not on purpose, you little cartoon eel.
It's just hard going home right now without the girls, and Bryce is always at the warehouse, so I thought I would just stay a smidge late and catch up on some prime erotica, and then I was watching TV on my phone, and, y'all, I I had dreams that Tom Selleck did some unspeakable things to me with a reverse mortgage.
What do you think that means? Sugar, it means we need to talk.
Are you and Bryce even dealing with anything that's been going on? Yeah, in our own ways.
I deal, and he don't.
Baby, you spent the night in a pedi-lounger.
- And? - What part of that is dealing? You know what? I gotta pee like a dalmatian, so if you got something to say, let's get it out.
Oh, I got something to say.
Okay.
Y'all, listen.
Y'all know we have been killing it with Claws Up, right? Skip, Tabitha, Sheree, everybody has been making money hand over fist.
We even blowing Clay and Ann out the water.
We making so much income right now that we can't launder it all through this salon, so we getting our 40 acres and a mule 'cause mama got us a second salon! We got a second salon, aye! - Aye! - We got a second salon! Aye! We got a second salon! I did pee just a little bit.
Ladies, it's all ours.
I signed the lease today.
- Shut the front door! - Mnh-mnh.
We're moving on up.
Des, this is won This is wonderful, babe.
The wonder don't stop here, bitch.
You have been my ace since day one, and that's why your Black ass is the new manager of Nail Artisans Two! Des! You're shitting me! No, I'm not.
You deserve it.
Plus, it'll help you keep your mind off - missing the girls.
- Yeah.
That promotion is going to look great to the court.
- Yeah.
- Desna Simms, you will not regret this, okay? And just whatever shit's been happening between us, it's over, okay? - Facts, okay! - You want to hold me close? Oh, fix your face.
All of our dreams are literally coming true, y'all.
- Give me some.
- Yes! - Hey.
- Hey.
So I know it's a few months away, but, uh, what if I get us tickets to see La Lupe? I appreciate it, but I've been trying to get my ass out of here ever since I signed up with Clay.
Come again? If I can clear my criminal record and make stacks off these fentanyl patches, then according to my spreadsheet here, in 10 weeks, it's bye-bye Palm-ghetto.
I think I know a way that can help you get your stacks sooner and maybe come with you.
Take your best shot, Bozo! Yeah, judge says my shot-up ass wasn't worth keeping in jail.
Of course, I think he just had a crush on me.
- 'Merica.
- Yeah, well, we ain't here to discuss my God-given privilege, are we? Besides, I got butt-cupuncture in a half hour.
You may want to cancel that.
Ever been down to the cruise port? Hell, girl, I used to cruise the shit out of them docks.
I went to Junior Prom with the health inspector back when I thought I liked dick.
Now he's buying patches off her.
This guy Jimmy has access to every cruise ship that comes into that port.
We cut a deal to supply fentanyl patches to all of them.
Hot damn, ladies! Snooze cruises, here we come.
Cheers! I still can't believe you got this done so fast.
I'm still working on redecorating your old bedroom.
Girl, you know money talks.
The place is popping, Des.
I can't wait until Uncle Daddy hears how we leveled up.
- I know that's right.
- Mm-hmm.
- Okay.
- Me too.
Hot pants, come here.
Listen, I'm still trying to get this place staffed up, so how do you feel about coming over here to work with Jenn? Oh, my God.
For real? For real.
Oh, thank you, thank you, thank you! Don't mess it up.
Well, hey there.
Welcome.
I'm Jennifer Husser.
I'm the manager here, and I'd like to thank you for dropping by.
I am Mrs.
Choi.
I run the salon down the street.
- My nephew, Ramon.
- All right.
Well, nice to meet you, neighbors.
I can't help but find it funny that of all the blocks in this town, you choose mine to open your new fancy salon.
Funny coincidence, don't you think? Excuse me? What exactly are you accusing us of? I mean, there's a nail salon on every corner.
Not a shi-shi like this, huh? My client been loyal to me for years.
You're not taking them.
Gosh, if I were you, I'd sort of rethink coming into my shop and talking out your neck.
Back off, buttermilk! Buttermilk? Uh, hold up, everybody.
I'm the owner here.
Then maybe you should take control of this trash.
Trash? What you got to say now, huh? Whoa! Jennifer! Cat got your tongue? - Stop it! - Don't touch me.
- What the hell?! - Sorry.
I'm not sorry.
Me neither.
Ooh.
Yeah.
So, Jimmy, what I'm telling you is this.
If you can get our fentanyl patches on them cruise ships, we all stand to make a pile of money.
So what do you say? For old time's sake.
Sure.
Why not? Makes up for not getting a blow job on prom night.
We'll be in touch about the first shipment.
Ladies, that's what I call a solid day - at the office right there.
- Awesome.
Miss Dessie is going to be crying her titties off.
Not only are we gonna own Palmetto, we gonna own the seven seas! Clay? Call an ambulance.
- Oh, my God! - Oh, my God! Clay? Shit! - Is he dead? - Clay! Yeah, I need an ambulance! Hello, Clay.
Oh, my darling Wanda.
Am I dead? Are we in Heaven? If we was in Heaven, you think I'd still be covered in blood? What happened to me? You had a heart attack, baby, on account of a blood clot from getting shot in the ass like a damn fool.
Oh, baby.
I miss your sweet sting.
Nobody ever gives it to me straight since you're gone.
We'll be together soon.
I pray for that every night.
Clay, that ass shot was a wake-up call.
You got to focus on family.
I want to focus on you, baby.
You listen to me.
When you're dead and gone, what's your legacy going to be? Who will carry on the name, honor, and vision of Clayton Rene Husser? Bryce? Hey, yeah, I'm here.
Clay, you scared the shit out of us.
Hey, no, no.
Take it easy.
Take it easy.
All right.
Hey, hey, hey.
I got something to say, boy.
I need you to listen real good.
This brush with death has got me thinking about what's What's truly important in life, and you know what that is? - Family.
- Family.
Past, present, and future.
And future.
Daddy? You know, the last man to blindfold me was a Kennedy cousin.
Voilà ! Axle, what am I looking at? Your future.
You have a gift for easing pain, for helping those in need of transition.
It's really a calling.
It really is.
Are you willing to do it again and again, every time you are called? Yes.
Yes, I am.
I'm a death doula.
That's what my life's purpose is.
Then this is all for you.
My very own death-mobile.
Come.
Allow me to introduce Fred.
He is ready to make his journey to the other side.
I mean, what the hell? Des, it was Mrs.
Choi's fault.
She started it.
Well, according to her lawyers, she don't care about none of that.
And if she wants to file assault charges, she got a salon full of people to back her up! Okay, well, I guess I'm just confused because you stay telling me to toughen up and not be so soft.
Okay, and now you decide to do it? Damn, shorty, this nail game is savage.
You don't know the half of it.
She also wants to sue the salon.
Shut up.
The real gag is, if they file assault charges against you, you ain't never getting your kids back, okay? And if they sue the salon, there's going to be an audit, which means People going to find out about the smurfing.
That part, and we will lose everything trying to pay lawyers to fight this shit.
We we work way too hard to give all this up.
Shit, Des.
I'm sor I'm sorry.
I'm sorry.
I know you going through a lot, Jennifer, but you messed up on this one.
It's not going to happen again.
You God damn right because here on out, I'm going to handle Choi.
All right.
And everything will be fine.
All right.
I kind of love you.
No shit.
Come on.
Let's go.
Crew know you here? Girl, they don't got to know everything.
Mm-hmm.
Something rotten in Denmark.
Look, I understand why Des made Jenn manager of the new salon, but, girl, I am all kinds of jealous, okay? That place is dope.
You got to stop trying to please her.
That's a no-win game.
Is Uncle Daddy any better at being a boss? First of all, he's not my boss.
I can't wait to get out of Palmetto as soon as this cruise-ship deal pays off.
Uh, cruise-ship deal? Nothing, just something I'm working on.
You know you don't got to keep stuff from me.
- Really, big mouth? - And you know you my girl.
You talk too much.
You got a big mouth.
No! Just just some fentanyl patches I'm pushing through through all the cruise ships - that come through here.
- I see you.
You better keep your big mouth shut.
Shut up.
Hello? So that's it? Well, that judge can suck my dick.
Bad news? The judge won't expunge my record.
- Oh.
- How am I going to get a job and take care of my kid now? You can't leave us.
There is no us anymore! And I'll be God damned if I let some judge stop me.
Well, Daddy is so sorry that you missed this call.
Yeah, he's going to call you just as soon as he can.
We just we miss you so much, and we just love you.
We miss holding you in our arms.
You still mama's little ducklets? Yeah.
Oh, you're full-grown ducks.
Oh, my God! Oh, you got to go? Yeah.
That's fine.
I love I love you.
I love you.
Okay.
You okay, girl? Yeah.
Yeah.
There's nothing quite like losing your kids and having your husband turn into a deadbeat.
You think that you could go organize those polishes in the back, please, boo? On it.
Hey.
I'm so sorry I'm late, baby.
You missed another call, Bryce.
Uncle Daddy had a heart attack.
Shit sticks! What? Is he okay? No, he's going to be fine.
Why didn't you text or call? The girls don't understand where you have been.
Look, it it's not going to happen again.
All right? Well, it can't, okay? Case worker said we miss one more of these calls and we are officially going to start having problems getting those girls back.
You don't want that, do you? No! Jenn, you and the family is Is the only thing I care about.
Well, you got a real funny way of showing it.
Baby, I know you're hurting.
I just I I haven't seen you in, like, a week.
I'm sorry.
I'm sorry.
Hey, hey, hey, hey.
Yeah, baby? You been fighting at the warehouse? - Huh? - Is that where you been? That's more important than talking to your girls.
Ain't that something? I was actually going to say how important you - and the girls are to me! - Oh, you were? - Yeah, that's what I was going to say.
- Oh, I stopped you? But you know what? Forget about it! All right? Forget about it! God damn it, Jennifer! Bryce.
Unbelievable.
- Hey, there.
- Hey.
- You okay? - Mm-hmm.
- Yeah.
- Just looking for Des.
My last delivery is around the block.
Well, she's not here, so Shit.
I'm I mean, you want to talk, I'm a good listener.
Sorry.
I just Well, I just feel like my whole God damn life's falling apart.
I, um, I lost my kids.
I feel like I'm about to lose my husband.
I'm sorry.
Dr.
Brickman? Short-finger Lopez, my old intern? - How the hell have you been? - Great.
- Sit down.
- Oh, thanks.
Oh, man.
Um I'm the head of neurology at Sarasota General now.
Wow.
- Well, mazel tov.
- Oh, thanks.
Hey, how's the family? I I used to chase your children down the hospital hallway.
You had four? Five.
All doing great.
Yeah, yeah, the oldest, she's finally settling down.
#grateful.
How about you? Last time I saw you, you were, um, heading to the Mayo Clinic.
Yeah, well, that was too elitist for me.
I'm more of a hands-on, working-with-the-community type person, you know? Oh.
Good for you.
Well, I see no, uh, ring on your finger.
You still playing the field? Well, one divorce.
- Oh.
- A few messed up relationships later, I, um I think I finally found the one.
- Yeah? - Yeah.
Oh, let me let me, uh, show you a picture.
- Oh.
- Her name is Selena.
Hmm? - Is this a joke? - What what? I can't get a hot piece of ass like that? Ken, that's my daughter.
Shut the Seriously? You held her when she was a baby.
Oh, God.
Mrs.
Choi, please, at the end of the day, we're both two minority businesswomen just trying to create a life for ourselves, right? Continue.
All I'm saying is, in Instead of tearing each other down, we could support each other.
No.
So you're going to press charges? That's it then? - Unless - What? Unless you help support me with a cool 10 grand every month.
I hope you talking yen.
We Korean, bitch.
And the only money I deal in is American.
Y'all are extorting me? A fair price, I think, for keeping your friend's family intact.
Hmm? My lawyer did his homework.
So take it or leave it.
I suggest you take it.
I'll be there tonight.
8:00? Don't! Payment in full.
Shit.
It's done.
You are truly an angel.
I cannot imagine a better person to die with.
I'm curious.
Why do you do this? I mean, I know you're ill, but why not live out your days as a billionaire playboy? When I was a young boy, I had a twin brother, and he had leukemia.
The pain and suffering he went through were unbearable.
I watched Ludwig waste away, and I was completely helpless to give him any relief.
I, too, had a twin who died.
Not from illness, from a tragic accident, and not because I pushed her through the ice or anything.
So I think I understand your feelings, and I also think the cosmos works in mysterious ways.
Don't you think? We were meant meet each other.
You should've seen the disgusted look in her dad's eyes when he found out that I'm with her.
So you're a little older.
Look at me and Dean.
Hell, look at Polly and the Baron.
Well, I mean, the Baron is a young octogenarian.
Although, he is terminal, so I guess it's just a matter of ti time.
- You all right, girl? - Yeah.
I'm great.
Just window shopping.
I got to look the part if I'm going to be a death doula, but not the Baron's, of course.
Holy shit.
What? You're in love with an old man.
I can't be in love with him.
No, you are.
I know that look.
Surprisingly, I'm, uh, not the least bit jealous.
Choi is not backing down, y'all.
Shit is looking bleak.
Ooh-ooh, everybody is on the struggle bus today.
If y'all only knew what was popping off with Ann.
Unh-unh! I know you not still kiki-ing with that bitch.
I know.
I know.
But what if I had some piping hot tea? - Would that help? - Depends.
Pour it.
Her and Clay are dealing patches on cruise ships.
Oh, and, uh, Uncle Daddy had a heart attack.
Any chance he's dead? - Sorry.
- Karma's a bitch.
Well, then we got bigger fish to fry, right? Mrs.
Choi is not backing down off me giving her $10,000 a month.
Oh, she's a straight-up gangster.
What? I can't be impressed by a solid extortionist? Look, the point is, if she files charges against Jenn, we're screwed.
If she sues the salon, we're screwed.
If we got to pay this money every month, we're screwed.
You need counter leverage, like what I did to own you and Clay.
Pause.
You don't own me, Kenneth.
This ain't a God damn plantation.
Okay.
Mea culpa.
He does have a point, though, Des.
I know, Pol.
What we need is somebody to get on the inside, get in her salon, figure out what she got going, and use that shit against her.
See, counter leverage.
I'll do it, Des.
I'm a sneaky little freak.
I knew it was a reason I hired you, baby tits.
Want to see Trump's tax returns? Are you shitting me? You're 12.
13, felon.
Look, I just want to know if you can make my convictions disappear.
Faster than your youth, Grandma.
Let's just do business, little shit.
Hey, Uncle Daddy.
You got to quit that battling, boy.
Ain't no good for you.
It's the only thing good for me now.
I got nothing else.
Bullshit.
You got that wife of yours.
You got them kids.
I mean, I I know it ain't perfect right now, but, hell, when was it ever? I don't know.
You got to fight for your future, son.
Shape up if you want to be my heir.
Maybe you're right, Uncle Daddy.
You know he ain't worthy of inheriting your kingdom.
Oh, baby.
Sad to say, but I think you're on to something.
I raised me two boys, and got nothing to show for it.
Started too late with those two, but if you had someone you could mold into your own image, someone pure and unsullied, you'd be immortal.
Daddy, I love you.
You're right.
That's my heir, my legacy, my immortality.
Now all you got to do is keep your eye on that prize, and when the time is right, you snatch that baby.
Oh, my baby angel.
You're a genius.
Um, thank you.
Come.
Please tell me that Kim Jong-un is sex-trafficking victims through her salon or something.
Sorry, Des.
I got nothing.
But Mrs.
Choi sure is a gangster, maybe even bigger than you.
What the hell does that mean? She's running a scam at the docks.
How you know that? Okay.
I was getting my nails did when a busload of white folks with sunburns and really bad braids came through.
Girl, I don't even know who did these braids.
They was looking real crazy.
- ADHD, get to the point! - Okay.
The girl who did my feet said that Choi pays some dude at the docks to bus in tourists to her salon.
That's smart but not illegal.
But, damn, I guess everybody got something going with the cruises.
Shit.
What? I got no choice, Virginia.
I have no leverage over this woman.
I got to pay her.
Time's up.
My auntie looking for that green.
She got you under her thumb, don't she? Nah.
I'm her favorite.
I play things right.
Who you think she going to leave everything to? So the bitch has feelings, huh? Good to know.
Shit.
Des, you killed him.
I prayed on it and did what I had to do.
Mm-hmm.
And then she called me in the middle of a "Rap Game" marathon to get him out of here.
Polly wasn't available.
Hey, I helped lift that Troy boy.
Okay.
I just want to be clear about who we are now.
I'm not allowed to choke a bitch, but we have a problem, and we just kill the problem? Whoa! I was cleaning up your mess, Jennifer.
Baby, I feel like this is the shit that's going to come back and bite us.
Mm-hmm.
We in the dark karmas now.
I don't care.
All right? I'm not letting nobody mess with my dream.
Period! Wow.
What did you do with the body? You remember Mrs.
Muscles? Poor Penelope.
Well, let's just say she was my inspiration.
Oh, savage! Mm.
Ooh.
Good morning, Mrs.
Choi.
How's your day going? You killed my boy, Desna.
You're not going to get away with that.
I will.
I am done letting people think they can shake me down.
You mess with me, and your ass is going to be next.
Are you threatening me? I am.
Take it in because I need something else.
Oh, there you are.
Thought you'd never get back.
What are you doing here? I bought you some healthy shit, get that colon right so that little, uh, little nugget in there can develop properly.
Got you some pickles and some fruit.
Thank you, Clay.
Someone needs to take care of your little darling.
If it's got to be me, then so be it.
What? Uh, I think the baby kicked.
Yeah.
There it is.
Do you want to feel it? Yeah.
Yeah, go ahead.
Yeah.
Go ahead.
That's beautiful.
Where is he? That's your cruise-ship connect? No, she's his baby mama.
That's how I met him.
Alma, this is my friend, Desna.
I told you about her.
I need to meet your boyfriend.
Can you hook it up? What's this about? And then the, uh, department-store Santa got out of his car with a gun.
Hell no! Only in Florida.
Bryce is popping off, cussing.
"Well, Merry Christmas to you, too, asshole!" He, like, really held it up.
So then, we turn around very self-satisfied, and who is going into Radio Shack but busload of nuns? - Nuns! - Oh, hell no.
When I tell you that Bryce had so many Hail Marys to say that Christmas He sound like fun, though.
Oh, honey, he was.
Oh, boy.
We were.
Hey, that don't mean it can't be like that again.
Yeah.
Oh, well.
If it isn't the great white hope.
What are you doing here? I was just, um, wondering if we could talk.
Yeah.
Talk.
Alone? Oh.
Anything you say in front of me, you can say in front of Tony, okay? He's my boy.
We ain't got no secrets from each other now.
Like, none.
Nun! - Nun.
- Full circle.
I just, um, I wanted to apologize.
For what? Come on, Jenn.
You know what for.
No, babe, like, literally, there's, like, 1,000 things I could think of because between you and me, you've messed up a lot.
But don't worry.
I won't tell.
What the hell is going on, Jenny? You high right now? Bryce, don't talk to me like that.
I can see your eyes! Your pupils are like pinholes.
- What are you doing? - Y y'all just calm down.
- It's all good.
- Well, maybe you need to step off, Gold Tooth, and let me talk to my wife.
How about that? Hey, how about you get out of here with that macho bullshit? What you going do? Come on.
Touch me.
I said, "Go on!" You're just ruining everything.
You really do.
Can you feel how light you are? Miriam, free yourself from your body and the pain.
Let yourself go.
She looked so happy at the end.
Axle, I can't forget that story you told me about your brother.
I know it wasn't easy for you to share that with me, to trust me.
I care about you, Polly.
Honestly, I think I feel the same way about you, which is why I have to confess something.
Oh! Bloody hell! What's happening? Oh, shit, dude.
Old people! Who are you calling old? I demand that you stop this vehicle immediately, or I shall be forced to apprehend you in the name of justice.
You heard the man.
Shut them up.
Axle! Axle! Grab hold! Hey! Get off of me! This is my death-mobile, you puck.
Allow me.
Aah! Oh! Oh! Aaaah! Good job, Polly.
I think we're safe from those hooligans now.
I'd say so.
Oh, Polly, I've never felt more alive than since I've been with you.
Be my wife.
Look, I know you made a deal with Clay Husser, but trust me, pills are way better than patches.
They're more discrete and easier to conceal.
I don't know.
What you mean, you don't know? I mean, don't you want to retire someone nice with your beautiful girlfriend and your new baby? This is the way.
I just can't.
I made the deal already, and I stand by my word.
What can I say? I'm an honorable guy.
Yes, you are.
Ay Dios mio! I think I just pissed myself.
Oh, shit.
Sweetie, your water just broke.
You need to get her to the hospital.
There's one right up the street.
We can't go to a hospital.
She's undocumented.
They'll they'll deport her.
I think I know a place.
Thank you, baby.
You're welcome.
- I'll see you in three weeks.
- Okay.
You know what, though? Marriages suck, and relationships suck.
Come on, now.
That ain't true.
Well, you're just saying that because you're still in the honeymoon phase with Des.
What's that, shade? You not in the honeymoon phase with Des? I mean, look, we got something.
And Lord knows she's sexy as hell.
Mm-hmm.
But I don't think she in it for the long run.
She got some kind of wall blocking me out.
Boy, if you don't hand me that.
Quick picking.
The wall is Roller, her ex.
He's Bryce's brother, and he Look.
Every man Des has ever been with is a total nightmare, like, except you, with the exception of these nail beds.
You're just, like, a real great, honest, straightforward guy.
But with a fine-ass bod.
Back at you.
Let me ask you a question.
Mm-hmm.
I seen you popping them pills earlier.
What's up with that? I I just have been so stressed out because of Bryce and the girls.
It's all good.
I ain't gonna tell nobody.
Okay.
Here's something.
- Both of y'all sell oxy? - Mm-hmm.
How come y'all ain't selling it together? Oh, because Uncle Daddy and Bryce are on the fentanyl train now.
Uncle Daddy and Des ain't never really seen eye-to-eye.
Okay.
So they big-time.
Who you telling? Where the hell they getting fentanyl? Dean, this girl is about to pop! Dean filled me in.
Please get this God damn thing out of me! Oh, honey, I want you to take a deep, cleansing breath.
It's it's okay, Des.
She'll she'll be okay.
Okay, Dean, tell me what you're seeing.
I I I think she's fully dilated, and the contractions are coming every 20 seconds.
Shouldn't she be in a bed? This is how women have given birth for millennia.
Shut up! I'm trying to thread a 10-pound watermelon through a needle! Ah! - The baby is crowning.
- Okay.
Jimmy, I need you to talk her through the pain.
Take her to a happy place.
How about my fishing boat? My happy place, not your happy place! - Close your eyes.
- Okay.
- You're you're on a beach.
- Uh-huh.
There's sand and crabs and shit.
You can feel the The wind through your Through your weave.
It's time, Dean.
Tell her to push.
What what? I thought I thought I thought you were going to do this.
You're ready, Dean.
You can do this.
Somebody do it! Okay.
Okay.
Alma.
- Uh-huh.
- I I need you to push.
- Okay.
- Yeah.
I mean, give it everything you've got.
That's it! Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah! That's perfect.
Your vagina is working beautifully.
Okay.
Here.
Okay.
Push, push! Hey! - It's a little girl.
- Okay.
You got her? - Yes.
- Okay.
You got her.
Yeah.
You did it, Dean.
No, we did it.
I knew I was right about you.
And you were right about something, too.
What what's that? Maybe it's time for a label.
Yeah.
Okay.
Okay.
Okay.
Hey, big papa.
I owe you big time.
Yes, you do.
And I know just how you can repay me.
We called Jimmy to set up a drop for the fentanyl shipment.
- He canceled the order.
- What?! Turns out he had another supplier Desna.
What the hell? How does she know about Jimmy? Hey, there's nothing to smile about.
That little pervert got my record expunged.
Guess it was a good idea to give him my underwear.
- Mine too.
- Ah.
What we going to do about Desna? Clay, we'll figure this out.
Chill out.
Be rational.
You heard the dyke.
Be rational.
As long as that tacky manicurist is successful, there will be no legacy for you to leave your heir.
What do I do? About what? There's not enough room in Palmetto for you and Des.
We need bats and a mean old attitude because the only way to take care of Desna is destroy her business.
Hey.
Hey.
I helped myself to some of your bourbon.
And by the looks of you, some of my brother.
Uh You want one? Hell yeah.
Look, I know I talked smack about your practices.
That hippy-dippy voodoo you got going, girl, it works! It does.
Mm.
And I think you're pretty good with my brother, too.
Me too.
Cheers.
Mm.
Damn, your nails are pretty.
Thank you, girl.
Say the word.
I can hook you up.
Let me see what you working with.
Finally.
I've been trying to reach you since yesterday.
I know.
I, uh I ran into your dad.
Yeah.
He told me.
Look, I I I can get over it if you can.
I can, absolutely.
Age means nothing to me, but here is the thing.
Yeah.
Anything, my love.
I I've been discovered.
What what What do you mean? Donatella Versace came by Juice Towne, and she wants me to model in her runway show in New York and then Paris and then Milan.
Wow! That's That's amazing.
I know.
I'm already in New York.
Look.
What? That was fast.
I guess Versace waits for no man I mean, woman.
I can't believe this is happening.
We just found each other.
I know, but but but nothing's going to change here.
Distance makes the heart grow fonder.
Really? You would do long distance? I would do anything for you, babe.
Besides, I have a supermodel girlfriend now.
I can't wait to take you to my high school reunion and be like, "Suck on that, Sam Linsky!" You shining bright as my diamonds right now.
Yes, I am.
Mm.
My business is slamming.
I got a fine man right next to me, and I'm about to go upstairs and get that D.
Why we got to go upstairs? We can get this thing popping right now.
Oh, you nasty.
I'm gonna give you that.
Give me one sec.
Sorry, Des.
I What do you want, girl? I got a dick appointment! I thought you should see this.
- What happened? - Clay's people.
They got our whole crew.
They pissed because you stole they business, and they want you to know.
Girl, it's over, Desna.
Look at us! And they said it's going to be worse next time.
Mnh-mnh, girl.
We out.
No, no, no.
No.
Do not do this.
All right? Y'all, we we We can get them back.
We can go hard at them and make them pay.
Sorry, Des.
Tabitha, wait.
- Bye, girl.
- Sheree! Mnh-mnh.
Shit.
Meeting Eve helped me discover my wife's purpose Midwifery.
The Baron had this friend with terminal cancer, and I helped her cross to the other side.
I think I found my calling.
I'm meant to be a death doula.
I meant it when I said I've never felt this way before.
The business was going so good.
I leaned in, and maybe I got lost in the sauce! You stole from me, bitch! Aah! No one wanted this to happen.
It was an accident, y'all.
Bambi got what she deserved.
Look, me and the girls didn't think people were going to start getting killed.
I'm going to protect you, every single one of you.
- Trust her.
- Where are the girls? Well, me and Ann were We were just dealing with an employee issue, and the And the girls ran off.
I'm sorry.
The court has ordered them placed in a foster home.
Oh, God.
No.
Shut up and drive.
I did not tell y'all where those kids were for y'all to kidnap them! Own your shit! Ain't nobody making you do nothing! - Shit.
- Aaah! Shot me right in the ass! I'll pay the team what you asked for.
Couldn't let you take the rap for being good parents and wanting to be with your babies.
- Just let me take the heat.
- You're going to take her? - Obviously.
- Can you take Baylor, too? All right.
Dessie, there's chicken.
She's a she's a vegan! Then she ain't got to eat it.
Dessie, I I Please be nice to my girlfriend.
I I really like her.
And what makes you think I wouldn't be? Years and years of experience.
Besides, I've been very cordial to Tony.
- Okay? - Come on.
All right.
To the baddest bitch in Palmetto.
You work your ass off, baby.
You making the paper to show for it, but you still got some left for your boy.
Keep talking that sweet talk, baby, and I'ma reward you again.
My sister has always been very very comfortable with her abundant sexual appetite.
Well, that's the way nature made women.
It was society that had other ideas.
Well, Eve, what made you decide to become a midwife? It was actually by accident.
I was out camping in the Everglades with a pregnant friend, and she went into labor, so I delivered that baby in between two palm trees with a possum watching the entire thing.
Hell no! Girl, give me a hospital and all the drugs, okay? What? Dean, it was one thing when women didn't have a choice but to squat in the dirt and have a baby, but now? Shiiit! Dessie, you're being very disrespectful to my girlfriend's beliefs.
Uh, the honesty is appreciated, and in the name of honesty, uh, maybe I should clarify that I am not your girlfriend.
Oh.
Oh, oh, oh! Uh, uh, oh.
I I, um, then Okay.
Then then Then what are we? Because I thought I thought I thought we had something special.
Anybody, uh, want anymore wine or hit a blunt? - Mnh-mnh.
- What I meant to say was that I just don't like labels.
Maybe we can talk about this another time? No, I I I I want to talk about it right now.
I want to And and And labels are essential for categorizing and understanding the world, so Dean, I think what she's trying to say I know what she's trying to say, Dessie! Dean? I'm glad we past that shit.
You know what I'm saying? We ain't past nothing.
What you talking about? Come on, now.
You know you my girl.
You cute, but I ain't nobody's girl.
I don't belong to nobody but myself.
Can you get me some more wine? Yeah.
You still haven't told Desna? Do you want to get beaten? Georgia promised to keep her mouth shut about killing Bambi.
- Relax, Pol! - Easy for you to say.
Now I have to keep it up with Des, and you know how bad I am at lying.
Okay.
I'm great at lying, but Ladies, I got some great news.
Tom Selleck, you unhand me! Hey, girl.
You okay? Yeah.
Yeah.
I guess I just fell asleep.
You been here since yesterday? Well, not on purpose, you little cartoon eel.
It's just hard going home right now without the girls, and Bryce is always at the warehouse, so I thought I would just stay a smidge late and catch up on some prime erotica, and then I was watching TV on my phone, and, y'all, I I had dreams that Tom Selleck did some unspeakable things to me with a reverse mortgage.
What do you think that means? Sugar, it means we need to talk.
Are you and Bryce even dealing with anything that's been going on? Yeah, in our own ways.
I deal, and he don't.
Baby, you spent the night in a pedi-lounger.
- And? - What part of that is dealing? You know what? I gotta pee like a dalmatian, so if you got something to say, let's get it out.
Oh, I got something to say.
Okay.
Y'all, listen.
Y'all know we have been killing it with Claws Up, right? Skip, Tabitha, Sheree, everybody has been making money hand over fist.
We even blowing Clay and Ann out the water.
We making so much income right now that we can't launder it all through this salon, so we getting our 40 acres and a mule 'cause mama got us a second salon! We got a second salon, aye! - Aye! - We got a second salon! Aye! We got a second salon! I did pee just a little bit.
Ladies, it's all ours.
I signed the lease today.
- Shut the front door! - Mnh-mnh.
We're moving on up.
Des, this is won This is wonderful, babe.
The wonder don't stop here, bitch.
You have been my ace since day one, and that's why your Black ass is the new manager of Nail Artisans Two! Des! You're shitting me! No, I'm not.
You deserve it.
Plus, it'll help you keep your mind off - missing the girls.
- Yeah.
That promotion is going to look great to the court.
- Yeah.
- Desna Simms, you will not regret this, okay? And just whatever shit's been happening between us, it's over, okay? - Facts, okay! - You want to hold me close? Oh, fix your face.
All of our dreams are literally coming true, y'all.
- Give me some.
- Yes! - Hey.
- Hey.
So I know it's a few months away, but, uh, what if I get us tickets to see La Lupe? I appreciate it, but I've been trying to get my ass out of here ever since I signed up with Clay.
Come again? If I can clear my criminal record and make stacks off these fentanyl patches, then according to my spreadsheet here, in 10 weeks, it's bye-bye Palm-ghetto.
I think I know a way that can help you get your stacks sooner and maybe come with you.
Take your best shot, Bozo! Yeah, judge says my shot-up ass wasn't worth keeping in jail.
Of course, I think he just had a crush on me.
- 'Merica.
- Yeah, well, we ain't here to discuss my God-given privilege, are we? Besides, I got butt-cupuncture in a half hour.
You may want to cancel that.
Ever been down to the cruise port? Hell, girl, I used to cruise the shit out of them docks.
I went to Junior Prom with the health inspector back when I thought I liked dick.
Now he's buying patches off her.
This guy Jimmy has access to every cruise ship that comes into that port.
We cut a deal to supply fentanyl patches to all of them.
Hot damn, ladies! Snooze cruises, here we come.
Cheers! I still can't believe you got this done so fast.
I'm still working on redecorating your old bedroom.
Girl, you know money talks.
The place is popping, Des.
I can't wait until Uncle Daddy hears how we leveled up.
- I know that's right.
- Mm-hmm.
- Okay.
- Me too.
Hot pants, come here.
Listen, I'm still trying to get this place staffed up, so how do you feel about coming over here to work with Jenn? Oh, my God.
For real? For real.
Oh, thank you, thank you, thank you! Don't mess it up.
Well, hey there.
Welcome.
I'm Jennifer Husser.
I'm the manager here, and I'd like to thank you for dropping by.
I am Mrs.
Choi.
I run the salon down the street.
- My nephew, Ramon.
- All right.
Well, nice to meet you, neighbors.
I can't help but find it funny that of all the blocks in this town, you choose mine to open your new fancy salon.
Funny coincidence, don't you think? Excuse me? What exactly are you accusing us of? I mean, there's a nail salon on every corner.
Not a shi-shi like this, huh? My client been loyal to me for years.
You're not taking them.
Gosh, if I were you, I'd sort of rethink coming into my shop and talking out your neck.
Back off, buttermilk! Buttermilk? Uh, hold up, everybody.
I'm the owner here.
Then maybe you should take control of this trash.
Trash? What you got to say now, huh? Whoa! Jennifer! Cat got your tongue? - Stop it! - Don't touch me.
- What the hell?! - Sorry.
I'm not sorry.
Me neither.
Ooh.
Yeah.
So, Jimmy, what I'm telling you is this.
If you can get our fentanyl patches on them cruise ships, we all stand to make a pile of money.
So what do you say? For old time's sake.
Sure.
Why not? Makes up for not getting a blow job on prom night.
We'll be in touch about the first shipment.
Ladies, that's what I call a solid day - at the office right there.
- Awesome.
Miss Dessie is going to be crying her titties off.
Not only are we gonna own Palmetto, we gonna own the seven seas! Clay? Call an ambulance.
- Oh, my God! - Oh, my God! Clay? Shit! - Is he dead? - Clay! Yeah, I need an ambulance! Hello, Clay.
Oh, my darling Wanda.
Am I dead? Are we in Heaven? If we was in Heaven, you think I'd still be covered in blood? What happened to me? You had a heart attack, baby, on account of a blood clot from getting shot in the ass like a damn fool.
Oh, baby.
I miss your sweet sting.
Nobody ever gives it to me straight since you're gone.
We'll be together soon.
I pray for that every night.
Clay, that ass shot was a wake-up call.
You got to focus on family.
I want to focus on you, baby.
You listen to me.
When you're dead and gone, what's your legacy going to be? Who will carry on the name, honor, and vision of Clayton Rene Husser? Bryce? Hey, yeah, I'm here.
Clay, you scared the shit out of us.
Hey, no, no.
Take it easy.
Take it easy.
All right.
Hey, hey, hey.
I got something to say, boy.
I need you to listen real good.
This brush with death has got me thinking about what's What's truly important in life, and you know what that is? - Family.
- Family.
Past, present, and future.
And future.
Daddy? You know, the last man to blindfold me was a Kennedy cousin.
Voilà ! Axle, what am I looking at? Your future.
You have a gift for easing pain, for helping those in need of transition.
It's really a calling.
It really is.
Are you willing to do it again and again, every time you are called? Yes.
Yes, I am.
I'm a death doula.
That's what my life's purpose is.
Then this is all for you.
My very own death-mobile.
Come.
Allow me to introduce Fred.
He is ready to make his journey to the other side.
I mean, what the hell? Des, it was Mrs.
Choi's fault.
She started it.
Well, according to her lawyers, she don't care about none of that.
And if she wants to file assault charges, she got a salon full of people to back her up! Okay, well, I guess I'm just confused because you stay telling me to toughen up and not be so soft.
Okay, and now you decide to do it? Damn, shorty, this nail game is savage.
You don't know the half of it.
She also wants to sue the salon.
Shut up.
The real gag is, if they file assault charges against you, you ain't never getting your kids back, okay? And if they sue the salon, there's going to be an audit, which means People going to find out about the smurfing.
That part, and we will lose everything trying to pay lawyers to fight this shit.
We we work way too hard to give all this up.
Shit, Des.
I'm sor I'm sorry.
I'm sorry.
I know you going through a lot, Jennifer, but you messed up on this one.
It's not going to happen again.
You God damn right because here on out, I'm going to handle Choi.
All right.
And everything will be fine.
All right.
I kind of love you.
No shit.
Come on.
Let's go.
Crew know you here? Girl, they don't got to know everything.
Mm-hmm.
Something rotten in Denmark.
Look, I understand why Des made Jenn manager of the new salon, but, girl, I am all kinds of jealous, okay? That place is dope.
You got to stop trying to please her.
That's a no-win game.
Is Uncle Daddy any better at being a boss? First of all, he's not my boss.
I can't wait to get out of Palmetto as soon as this cruise-ship deal pays off.
Uh, cruise-ship deal? Nothing, just something I'm working on.
You know you don't got to keep stuff from me.
- Really, big mouth? - And you know you my girl.
You talk too much.
You got a big mouth.
No! Just just some fentanyl patches I'm pushing through through all the cruise ships - that come through here.
- I see you.
You better keep your big mouth shut.
Shut up.
Hello? So that's it? Well, that judge can suck my dick.
Bad news? The judge won't expunge my record.
- Oh.
- How am I going to get a job and take care of my kid now? You can't leave us.
There is no us anymore! And I'll be God damned if I let some judge stop me.
Well, Daddy is so sorry that you missed this call.
Yeah, he's going to call you just as soon as he can.
We just we miss you so much, and we just love you.
We miss holding you in our arms.
You still mama's little ducklets? Yeah.
Oh, you're full-grown ducks.
Oh, my God! Oh, you got to go? Yeah.
That's fine.
I love I love you.
I love you.
Okay.
You okay, girl? Yeah.
Yeah.
There's nothing quite like losing your kids and having your husband turn into a deadbeat.
You think that you could go organize those polishes in the back, please, boo? On it.
Hey.
I'm so sorry I'm late, baby.
You missed another call, Bryce.
Uncle Daddy had a heart attack.
Shit sticks! What? Is he okay? No, he's going to be fine.
Why didn't you text or call? The girls don't understand where you have been.
Look, it it's not going to happen again.
All right? Well, it can't, okay? Case worker said we miss one more of these calls and we are officially going to start having problems getting those girls back.
You don't want that, do you? No! Jenn, you and the family is Is the only thing I care about.
Well, you got a real funny way of showing it.
Baby, I know you're hurting.
I just I I haven't seen you in, like, a week.
I'm sorry.
I'm sorry.
Hey, hey, hey, hey.
Yeah, baby? You been fighting at the warehouse? - Huh? - Is that where you been? That's more important than talking to your girls.
Ain't that something? I was actually going to say how important you - and the girls are to me! - Oh, you were? - Yeah, that's what I was going to say.
- Oh, I stopped you? But you know what? Forget about it! All right? Forget about it! God damn it, Jennifer! Bryce.
Unbelievable.
- Hey, there.
- Hey.
- You okay? - Mm-hmm.
- Yeah.
- Just looking for Des.
My last delivery is around the block.
Well, she's not here, so Shit.
I'm I mean, you want to talk, I'm a good listener.
Sorry.
I just Well, I just feel like my whole God damn life's falling apart.
I, um, I lost my kids.
I feel like I'm about to lose my husband.
I'm sorry.
Dr.
Brickman? Short-finger Lopez, my old intern? - How the hell have you been? - Great.
- Sit down.
- Oh, thanks.
Oh, man.
Um I'm the head of neurology at Sarasota General now.
Wow.
- Well, mazel tov.
- Oh, thanks.
Hey, how's the family? I I used to chase your children down the hospital hallway.
You had four? Five.
All doing great.
Yeah, yeah, the oldest, she's finally settling down.
#grateful.
How about you? Last time I saw you, you were, um, heading to the Mayo Clinic.
Yeah, well, that was too elitist for me.
I'm more of a hands-on, working-with-the-community type person, you know? Oh.
Good for you.
Well, I see no, uh, ring on your finger.
You still playing the field? Well, one divorce.
- Oh.
- A few messed up relationships later, I, um I think I finally found the one.
- Yeah? - Yeah.
Oh, let me let me, uh, show you a picture.
- Oh.
- Her name is Selena.
Hmm? - Is this a joke? - What what? I can't get a hot piece of ass like that? Ken, that's my daughter.
Shut the Seriously? You held her when she was a baby.
Oh, God.
Mrs.
Choi, please, at the end of the day, we're both two minority businesswomen just trying to create a life for ourselves, right? Continue.
All I'm saying is, in Instead of tearing each other down, we could support each other.
No.
So you're going to press charges? That's it then? - Unless - What? Unless you help support me with a cool 10 grand every month.
I hope you talking yen.
We Korean, bitch.
And the only money I deal in is American.
Y'all are extorting me? A fair price, I think, for keeping your friend's family intact.
Hmm? My lawyer did his homework.
So take it or leave it.
I suggest you take it.
I'll be there tonight.
8:00? Don't! Payment in full.
Shit.
It's done.
You are truly an angel.
I cannot imagine a better person to die with.
I'm curious.
Why do you do this? I mean, I know you're ill, but why not live out your days as a billionaire playboy? When I was a young boy, I had a twin brother, and he had leukemia.
The pain and suffering he went through were unbearable.
I watched Ludwig waste away, and I was completely helpless to give him any relief.
I, too, had a twin who died.
Not from illness, from a tragic accident, and not because I pushed her through the ice or anything.
So I think I understand your feelings, and I also think the cosmos works in mysterious ways.
Don't you think? We were meant meet each other.
You should've seen the disgusted look in her dad's eyes when he found out that I'm with her.
So you're a little older.
Look at me and Dean.
Hell, look at Polly and the Baron.
Well, I mean, the Baron is a young octogenarian.
Although, he is terminal, so I guess it's just a matter of ti time.
- You all right, girl? - Yeah.
I'm great.
Just window shopping.
I got to look the part if I'm going to be a death doula, but not the Baron's, of course.
Holy shit.
What? You're in love with an old man.
I can't be in love with him.
No, you are.
I know that look.
Surprisingly, I'm, uh, not the least bit jealous.
Choi is not backing down, y'all.
Shit is looking bleak.
Ooh-ooh, everybody is on the struggle bus today.
If y'all only knew what was popping off with Ann.
Unh-unh! I know you not still kiki-ing with that bitch.
I know.
I know.
But what if I had some piping hot tea? - Would that help? - Depends.
Pour it.
Her and Clay are dealing patches on cruise ships.
Oh, and, uh, Uncle Daddy had a heart attack.
Any chance he's dead? - Sorry.
- Karma's a bitch.
Well, then we got bigger fish to fry, right? Mrs.
Choi is not backing down off me giving her $10,000 a month.
Oh, she's a straight-up gangster.
What? I can't be impressed by a solid extortionist? Look, the point is, if she files charges against Jenn, we're screwed.
If she sues the salon, we're screwed.
If we got to pay this money every month, we're screwed.
You need counter leverage, like what I did to own you and Clay.
Pause.
You don't own me, Kenneth.
This ain't a God damn plantation.
Okay.
Mea culpa.
He does have a point, though, Des.
I know, Pol.
What we need is somebody to get on the inside, get in her salon, figure out what she got going, and use that shit against her.
See, counter leverage.
I'll do it, Des.
I'm a sneaky little freak.
I knew it was a reason I hired you, baby tits.
Want to see Trump's tax returns? Are you shitting me? You're 12.
13, felon.
Look, I just want to know if you can make my convictions disappear.
Faster than your youth, Grandma.
Let's just do business, little shit.
Hey, Uncle Daddy.
You got to quit that battling, boy.
Ain't no good for you.
It's the only thing good for me now.
I got nothing else.
Bullshit.
You got that wife of yours.
You got them kids.
I mean, I I know it ain't perfect right now, but, hell, when was it ever? I don't know.
You got to fight for your future, son.
Shape up if you want to be my heir.
Maybe you're right, Uncle Daddy.
You know he ain't worthy of inheriting your kingdom.
Oh, baby.
Sad to say, but I think you're on to something.
I raised me two boys, and got nothing to show for it.
Started too late with those two, but if you had someone you could mold into your own image, someone pure and unsullied, you'd be immortal.
Daddy, I love you.
You're right.
That's my heir, my legacy, my immortality.
Now all you got to do is keep your eye on that prize, and when the time is right, you snatch that baby.
Oh, my baby angel.
You're a genius.
Um, thank you.
Come.
Please tell me that Kim Jong-un is sex-trafficking victims through her salon or something.
Sorry, Des.
I got nothing.
But Mrs.
Choi sure is a gangster, maybe even bigger than you.
What the hell does that mean? She's running a scam at the docks.
How you know that? Okay.
I was getting my nails did when a busload of white folks with sunburns and really bad braids came through.
Girl, I don't even know who did these braids.
They was looking real crazy.
- ADHD, get to the point! - Okay.
The girl who did my feet said that Choi pays some dude at the docks to bus in tourists to her salon.
That's smart but not illegal.
But, damn, I guess everybody got something going with the cruises.
Shit.
What? I got no choice, Virginia.
I have no leverage over this woman.
I got to pay her.
Time's up.
My auntie looking for that green.
She got you under her thumb, don't she? Nah.
I'm her favorite.
I play things right.
Who you think she going to leave everything to? So the bitch has feelings, huh? Good to know.
Shit.
Des, you killed him.
I prayed on it and did what I had to do.
Mm-hmm.
And then she called me in the middle of a "Rap Game" marathon to get him out of here.
Polly wasn't available.
Hey, I helped lift that Troy boy.
Okay.
I just want to be clear about who we are now.
I'm not allowed to choke a bitch, but we have a problem, and we just kill the problem? Whoa! I was cleaning up your mess, Jennifer.
Baby, I feel like this is the shit that's going to come back and bite us.
Mm-hmm.
We in the dark karmas now.
I don't care.
All right? I'm not letting nobody mess with my dream.
Period! Wow.
What did you do with the body? You remember Mrs.
Muscles? Poor Penelope.
Well, let's just say she was my inspiration.
Oh, savage! Mm.
Ooh.
Good morning, Mrs.
Choi.
How's your day going? You killed my boy, Desna.
You're not going to get away with that.
I will.
I am done letting people think they can shake me down.
You mess with me, and your ass is going to be next.
Are you threatening me? I am.
Take it in because I need something else.
Oh, there you are.
Thought you'd never get back.
What are you doing here? I bought you some healthy shit, get that colon right so that little, uh, little nugget in there can develop properly.
Got you some pickles and some fruit.
Thank you, Clay.
Someone needs to take care of your little darling.
If it's got to be me, then so be it.
What? Uh, I think the baby kicked.
Yeah.
There it is.
Do you want to feel it? Yeah.
Yeah, go ahead.
Yeah.
Go ahead.
That's beautiful.
Where is he? That's your cruise-ship connect? No, she's his baby mama.
That's how I met him.
Alma, this is my friend, Desna.
I told you about her.
I need to meet your boyfriend.
Can you hook it up? What's this about? And then the, uh, department-store Santa got out of his car with a gun.
Hell no! Only in Florida.
Bryce is popping off, cussing.
"Well, Merry Christmas to you, too, asshole!" He, like, really held it up.
So then, we turn around very self-satisfied, and who is going into Radio Shack but busload of nuns? - Nuns! - Oh, hell no.
When I tell you that Bryce had so many Hail Marys to say that Christmas He sound like fun, though.
Oh, honey, he was.
Oh, boy.
We were.
Hey, that don't mean it can't be like that again.
Yeah.
Oh, well.
If it isn't the great white hope.
What are you doing here? I was just, um, wondering if we could talk.
Yeah.
Talk.
Alone? Oh.
Anything you say in front of me, you can say in front of Tony, okay? He's my boy.
We ain't got no secrets from each other now.
Like, none.
Nun! - Nun.
- Full circle.
I just, um, I wanted to apologize.
For what? Come on, Jenn.
You know what for.
No, babe, like, literally, there's, like, 1,000 things I could think of because between you and me, you've messed up a lot.
But don't worry.
I won't tell.
What the hell is going on, Jenny? You high right now? Bryce, don't talk to me like that.
I can see your eyes! Your pupils are like pinholes.
- What are you doing? - Y y'all just calm down.
- It's all good.
- Well, maybe you need to step off, Gold Tooth, and let me talk to my wife.
How about that? Hey, how about you get out of here with that macho bullshit? What you going do? Come on.
Touch me.
I said, "Go on!" You're just ruining everything.
You really do.
Can you feel how light you are? Miriam, free yourself from your body and the pain.
Let yourself go.
She looked so happy at the end.
Axle, I can't forget that story you told me about your brother.
I know it wasn't easy for you to share that with me, to trust me.
I care about you, Polly.
Honestly, I think I feel the same way about you, which is why I have to confess something.
Oh! Bloody hell! What's happening? Oh, shit, dude.
Old people! Who are you calling old? I demand that you stop this vehicle immediately, or I shall be forced to apprehend you in the name of justice.
You heard the man.
Shut them up.
Axle! Axle! Grab hold! Hey! Get off of me! This is my death-mobile, you puck.
Allow me.
Aah! Oh! Oh! Aaaah! Good job, Polly.
I think we're safe from those hooligans now.
I'd say so.
Oh, Polly, I've never felt more alive than since I've been with you.
Be my wife.
Look, I know you made a deal with Clay Husser, but trust me, pills are way better than patches.
They're more discrete and easier to conceal.
I don't know.
What you mean, you don't know? I mean, don't you want to retire someone nice with your beautiful girlfriend and your new baby? This is the way.
I just can't.
I made the deal already, and I stand by my word.
What can I say? I'm an honorable guy.
Yes, you are.
Ay Dios mio! I think I just pissed myself.
Oh, shit.
Sweetie, your water just broke.
You need to get her to the hospital.
There's one right up the street.
We can't go to a hospital.
She's undocumented.
They'll they'll deport her.
I think I know a place.
Thank you, baby.
You're welcome.
- I'll see you in three weeks.
- Okay.
You know what, though? Marriages suck, and relationships suck.
Come on, now.
That ain't true.
Well, you're just saying that because you're still in the honeymoon phase with Des.
What's that, shade? You not in the honeymoon phase with Des? I mean, look, we got something.
And Lord knows she's sexy as hell.
Mm-hmm.
But I don't think she in it for the long run.
She got some kind of wall blocking me out.
Boy, if you don't hand me that.
Quick picking.
The wall is Roller, her ex.
He's Bryce's brother, and he Look.
Every man Des has ever been with is a total nightmare, like, except you, with the exception of these nail beds.
You're just, like, a real great, honest, straightforward guy.
But with a fine-ass bod.
Back at you.
Let me ask you a question.
Mm-hmm.
I seen you popping them pills earlier.
What's up with that? I I just have been so stressed out because of Bryce and the girls.
It's all good.
I ain't gonna tell nobody.
Okay.
Here's something.
- Both of y'all sell oxy? - Mm-hmm.
How come y'all ain't selling it together? Oh, because Uncle Daddy and Bryce are on the fentanyl train now.
Uncle Daddy and Des ain't never really seen eye-to-eye.
Okay.
So they big-time.
Who you telling? Where the hell they getting fentanyl? Dean, this girl is about to pop! Dean filled me in.
Please get this God damn thing out of me! Oh, honey, I want you to take a deep, cleansing breath.
It's it's okay, Des.
She'll she'll be okay.
Okay, Dean, tell me what you're seeing.
I I I think she's fully dilated, and the contractions are coming every 20 seconds.
Shouldn't she be in a bed? This is how women have given birth for millennia.
Shut up! I'm trying to thread a 10-pound watermelon through a needle! Ah! - The baby is crowning.
- Okay.
Jimmy, I need you to talk her through the pain.
Take her to a happy place.
How about my fishing boat? My happy place, not your happy place! - Close your eyes.
- Okay.
- You're you're on a beach.
- Uh-huh.
There's sand and crabs and shit.
You can feel the The wind through your Through your weave.
It's time, Dean.
Tell her to push.
What what? I thought I thought I thought you were going to do this.
You're ready, Dean.
You can do this.
Somebody do it! Okay.
Okay.
Alma.
- Uh-huh.
- I I need you to push.
- Okay.
- Yeah.
I mean, give it everything you've got.
That's it! Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah! That's perfect.
Your vagina is working beautifully.
Okay.
Here.
Okay.
Push, push! Hey! - It's a little girl.
- Okay.
You got her? - Yes.
- Okay.
You got her.
Yeah.
You did it, Dean.
No, we did it.
I knew I was right about you.
And you were right about something, too.
What what's that? Maybe it's time for a label.
Yeah.
Okay.
Okay.
Okay.
Hey, big papa.
I owe you big time.
Yes, you do.
And I know just how you can repay me.
We called Jimmy to set up a drop for the fentanyl shipment.
- He canceled the order.
- What?! Turns out he had another supplier Desna.
What the hell? How does she know about Jimmy? Hey, there's nothing to smile about.
That little pervert got my record expunged.
Guess it was a good idea to give him my underwear.
- Mine too.
- Ah.
What we going to do about Desna? Clay, we'll figure this out.
Chill out.
Be rational.
You heard the dyke.
Be rational.
As long as that tacky manicurist is successful, there will be no legacy for you to leave your heir.
What do I do? About what? There's not enough room in Palmetto for you and Des.
We need bats and a mean old attitude because the only way to take care of Desna is destroy her business.
Hey.
Hey.
I helped myself to some of your bourbon.
And by the looks of you, some of my brother.
Uh You want one? Hell yeah.
Look, I know I talked smack about your practices.
That hippy-dippy voodoo you got going, girl, it works! It does.
Mm.
And I think you're pretty good with my brother, too.
Me too.
Cheers.
Mm.
Damn, your nails are pretty.
Thank you, girl.
Say the word.
I can hook you up.
Let me see what you working with.
Finally.
I've been trying to reach you since yesterday.
I know.
I, uh I ran into your dad.
Yeah.
He told me.
Look, I I I can get over it if you can.
I can, absolutely.
Age means nothing to me, but here is the thing.
Yeah.
Anything, my love.

Wow! That's That's amazing.
I know.
I'm already in New York.
Look.
What? That was fast.
I guess Versace waits for no man I mean, woman.
I can't believe this is happening.
We just found each other.
I know, but but but nothing's going to change here.
Distance makes the heart grow fonder.
Really? You would do long distance? I would do anything for you, babe.
Besides, I have a supermodel girlfriend now.
I can't wait to take you to my high school reunion and be like, "Suck on that, Sam Linsky!" You shining bright as my diamonds right now.

Why we got to go upstairs? We can get this thing popping right now.
Oh, you nasty.
