Queen Sugar (2016) s07e12 Episode Script

1
[VIOLET] Previously on Queen Sugar
[MICAH] I want to create
something for us
in web3 definitively black.
I'm gonna really need to delve
into your creative portfolio.
I'm ready for that.
Aunt Martha crossed over last month.
[NOVA] I should have been more in tune
with everything on my
mother's side of the family.
I've been on an island loving you.
- And you've been struggling to love me.
- Dominic.
I don't want him being surprised
if he finds out about Chase.
This is so unnecessary.
- Where is this coming from?
- It's coming from my gut!
Should we think about fostering again?
[HOPEFUL MUSIC PLAYING]
Is all this really necessary?
I mean, it hasn't changed
since you were here last.
Standard practice.
I have to make sure
everything's in order
before we assign you a child.
Oh, sorry. [LAUGHS NERVOUSLY]
[HUMS]
- [HUSHED WHISPERS]
- Oh, no worries
about the Sherry laying around anymore.
We we took the notes
that you gave us the last time.
We just kicked it up. [CHUCKLES]
Uh, well you can see that we
just put in one bed this time.
But we saved the other one
in case another child needs us.
And um, we We're gonna paint.
Look, I know y'all are good people.
I saw how you took care
of the Avila boys.
But you won't know the kid this time
and there is a process.
Look miss Carmichael, we respect that.
But this right here.
This is the most important
thing to us right now.
Okay, I'm approving you.
You are now officially on the roster
as permanent foster parents
in the state of Louisiana.
I'll turn in my report and you'll
be notified about assignments.
Could be as early as 72 hours
for as long as 90 days or more.
So be patient,
but be ready.
Okay, now do you know
if we'll get a girl or a boy?
[CHUCKLES] I won't know
until there's a need.
You know, it doesn't even matter.
We'll be happy with
whoever you bring over here.
Absolutely.
Well, good luck.
Alright. Well, thank you so much.
Congrats.
Congratulations, Hollywood.
- [CRYING]
- [INHALES] Oh, baby, baby.
- [EXHALES]
- But Hollywood
We could be parents within 72 hours.
Lord, are we ready?
I mean, I thought that we
would have more time to prepare.
Sha, sha
Baby, we've been wanting this
for a long time.
If we ain't ready, we gonna get ready.
- [LAUGHS]
- We gonna get ready.
- [BOTH LAUGHING]
- We gonna get ready.

[SOMBER MUSIC PLAYING]
[DOMINIC] Morning.
It's Ginger turmeric.
Thank you.
Really should eat something.
I got some croissants.
Maybe later when Ra gets here.
I'm
I'm sorry about your aunt Martha.
I can't believe she's gone.
I just wish I had more time with her.
There was so much more that
I wanted to talk with her about.
Learn from her.
Well, she's still here.
In your heart, in your blood.
I have put that part of me
on hold for so long.
It gets harder to hear it, feel it.
I need to spend time out there
and listening.
For her and
- And for my mother.
- You should do that.
And you don't need to host today.
They're my friends.
I can find another place.
[GIGGLING] I'm not missing that.
I want to meet all your people.
All the folk
who you travel the world with.
Who take you away from me.
No one could ever take me away from you.
[ROMANTIC MUSIC PLAYING]
[CHUCKLES SOFTLY]
[ROCKABILLY MUSIC PLAYING]
Here are your copies
of the final contracts
for your attorney to review.
Well [CHUCKLING] thankfully
I do have good lawyers
who can help me with all this,
'cause honestly when I read it,
it just all reads
like a foreign language.
[CHUCKLES] Now, the fun part.
We get to taste your recipes.
The lab team has worked hard
to duplicate the recipes you gave us,
but we can't finalize anything
until we get your approval.
Here's a sneak peek.
[EXHALES] Alright.
Oh, baby.
It's missing the cinnamon.
There was no cinnamon
in the recipe last
I told those people.
I don't follow no recipe.
It's it's all in my head
and in my hand.
I taste as I go.
Um, to mass produce,
we'll just need to get all that
out of your head
and into a written recipe.
But it's okay. We'll get there.
It's just a process.
But first
These are the proposed pie boxes.
And we plan to place them
at the end of the isle
for maximum visibility.
[BREATH TREMBLING]
Aren't they great?
They're very nice.
[SIGHS] Very nice indeed.
Okay, well don't forget what
I said about the cinnamon.
I can't be out there not looking right.
I mean, after all
My face is on these boxes.
- [BOTH LAUGHING]
- It sure is.
This is all that's left
of momma's legacy.
Momma spent so much time there.
There's so much about her
that we don't know.
I found this in aunt Martha's book.
The green lines represent all her land.
She left to a praise house close by.
I mean, I know you didn't have
much time with her,
but to me, she was as real
and present as daddy was.
Some things.
Not enough.
- Thank you.
- Thanks.
[SIGHS]
I wish these walls could talk.
[CHUCKLES] For real.
Looking at this,
I realize I spent a lot of time
living up to his expectations.
I lost track of hers.
How could I let this happen?
[RALPH] Pops had that effect on us.
It felt like it was a struggle trying to
be who I want to be
and be who he wanted me to be.
[CHUCKLES]
I guess Charley figured it out.
She about the only one who
got it together in his head.
Mmm, I don't know about that.
I think she disappointed him
less than we did
because she wasn't here to mess up.
Yeah, well I don't want to
be like that with my kids.
Making them feel like
they can't make mistakes,
be human.
Well, you have to remember he tried.
And you know, after she died,
he was left with two kids,
a struggling farm and a broken heart.
He was just surviving.
[HOLLYWOOD] See you all at the debate.
I need your support. Be there.
I hope to see you all at the debate.
Need your support.
- Yeah.
- Those kids need us more now
than ever before.
So you not only got dads on patrol,
but you're running for school board too?
Sure am. Whatever it takes, man.
These schools need some fixing up.
Yeah well, I don't know why
you have to debate that sucker.
He's just gonna make a scene.
I mean, you can't reason
with these people.
They got their own set of facts.
Oh, you're right. You're right.
But it's a part of the election process.
And the school board's got
some real power, man.
Now look, if I can get in there,
then I won't have to do dads on patrol.
I can be able to affect change
from the inside.
We need more power.
And I intend on getting it.
[CHUCKLING]
Anybody with any sense will know that
you the right man for the job.
You care more about these kids
than some of their own folks do.
- [CASHIER] Here you go.
- Thank you.
Well, I appreciate you
for believing in me.
Sandy wants me to pick up some
flyers to pass out at the hospital.
Well man, here you go.
How are you all settling in?
I love her to the moon,
but I can't find a thing anymore.
[LAUGHS] I remember those days, man.
Y'all are so used to living alone.
It's gonna take some time
getting used to it.
But she rearranged
everything in the house.
[LAUGHING]
And if she didn't move it,
she threw it away.
[BOTH LAUGHING]
Oh man. I love every second of it.
Uh-huh.
You know, we're the lucky ones.
Brother, you ain't never lie.
Never lie.
Darla?
[DOOR CLOSES]
What's going on?
Hey.
- [SIGHS] Is she asleep?
- Yeah.
- How was your day?
- Nothing new.
I stopped by Nova's
to talk about aunt Martha.
She can't believe she's gone.
Brought back memories
of my mom and my dad
- and just how they were.
- Oh, yeah?
Look, I don't want to fight.
Neither do I.
But I still disagree with you.
And I think he needs to know.
And I still disagree with you.
But I'm gonna keep trying to
convince you that he doesn't.
[SCOFFS] That's fair.
Actually, my campaign is starting now.
And I'm definitely not playing fair.
[SOFT MUSIC PLAYING]
- You rang?
- Blue?
What were you doing
hiding in there, man?
Come here. [GRUNTS]
- [LAUGHS]
- Are you happy to see me?
[HUMS]
[CHUCKLING]
I missed you so much, man.
[BLUE] Oh, I missed you too.
You're definitely not playing fair.
Man, it's good to see you, boy.
So this is it.
- What you think of our new home, son?
- It's cool.
- I like it a lot.
- You do?
Even though it's smaller than the farm?
It's big enough for us.
Grandma's house is so big
I get lost in it sometimes.
[CHUCKLES]
Like, I'm on the second floor.
She's on the first floor.
Granddad is in the office above the
they have a three-car garage,
but they only have two cars.
You know what they say
about different strokes.
Different strokes for different folks.
- [CHUCKLING]
- [BLUE] Right.
What's this doing here?
Reminding me of home.
And you.
You know, if you ever want
to talk to us, you can, right?
Oh, can you measure me?
- That's a good idea. Come on.
- [DARLA] That's a great idea.
Oh you know I can feel it ♪
Stand up straight.
Can you feel it
I'm the next big thing ♪
what up what up
when they hit my line ♪
feeling me in a brand new rhyme ♪
you know me got to keep my vibe ♪
what up what up
when they hit my phone ♪
same old me in a brand new zone ♪
what up what up big sax on the Jack ♪
going gets tough
but I'm making these stacks ♪
keep my homies and run like a pack ♪
loving my grind
and I never look back ♪
oh you know I can feel it ♪
can you feel it ♪
can you feel it
I'm the next big thing ♪
oh you know I can feel it ♪
can you feel it ♪
I guess I got to like myself ♪
- This whole album is just
- everything.
- For real.
- [CHUCKLES]
[PHONE VIBRATING]
[SIGHS] Sorry.
[LAUGHS]
Who has you smiling?
I'm waiting on a call
from the studio museum.
- [KEKE] Mmm-hmm.
- I met a curator there
and sent some of my work.
- So you loved it there?
- I did, yeah.
New York was eye-opening, you know?
I mean, it's not like
I haven't been there before,
'cause I definitely have,
but something
about this trip was just
I don't know. It hit different.
The vibe, the people.
It kind of felt like home.
Or what I want home to feel like.
Sounds like you have something to say
and the Keke I know
don't bite her tongue, so
It's just this is what you do.
Ever since I've met you, you're
always looking for the next thing.
No, it's not like that.
I went to New York because I was looking
to secure an investment
for our collective here.
Like, la is my parents' city.
Like, I grew up there,
but it was their way of life.
It's not necessarily the way of
life I would choose for myself.
And I took that trip to Paris for
the summer and that was cool,
but again, something was missing.
And New Orleans is beautiful
and comfortable
and amazing and magical,
but I'm trying to step
outside of my comfort zone.
That's exactly what I felt
when I went to New York.
Just in the best way.
Then, that's where you should be.
I think so too.
Plus, I can work on the
collective from anywhere.
Just dreaming.
Dream away. [GIGGLING]
- [PROSPER] What do you think?
- I mean, I love it.
Sandy has great taste.
[PROSPER] Yeah, I'm still
trying to get used to it myself.
See, I don't know how you put
up with all my crap for so long.
Well you know, it has a certain charm.
But what I can't believe
is that she let you keep
that old raggedy chair of yours.
- Watch that!
- [BILLIE WHEEZING]
If this chair could talk,
it'd have stories.
It ain't going nowhere until I do.
[BILLIE] Okay, well then,
do you know what?
I hope it stays around
for years to come then.
- [PROSPER] Thank you.
- Okay.
[BOTH CHUCKLE]
Oh, uh, now that Dominic
is back over at Nova's,
you are welcome to stay here
if you want. No problem.
Thank you, daddy,
but I'm moving back to Chicago
as soon as this whole
laundry land business is in
a better shape for the co-op.
Shouldn't be too much longer.
Maybe a couple weeks.
Mmm, sure you ready to go?
I am.
I mean, coming here has
has changed so much.
Me and you being most important.
I feel the same.
I mean, it really has
been wonderful, daddy.
- I mean
- Really.
Yeah, well, I wouldn't have met Sandy
if it hadn't been for you.
- Meddling. [CHUCKLING]
- I mean
Making me have a nurse.
I mean, facts!
[LAUGHING]
I'm gonna miss you.
You know, we've been through a lot.
I'm gonna miss you, too, daddy.
His niece was teaching your kids crt.
[CROWD MURMURING] - I mean,
he's not even a parent.
So now he's gonna be in
charge of brainwashing your kids.
[CROWD APPLAUDING]
Well, unlike my opponent here
who's just running his mouth
[CROWD CHUCKLING]
I'm doing something to make
it better for your kids.
I'm here for more than just
a drop and pick a child up.
I started dads on patrol
to help all of you out.
And I see your kids.
They're struggling.
Scared.
Trying to make sense of a
world where they have no control.
So, I volunteer my time away
from my businesses in this community,
my own place, the real spot,
my beautiful wife's restaurant,
Vi's prized pies and diner.
- [APPLAUSE]
- That'll do it. Tell her!
I volunteer my time because I care.
And contrary to popular belief,
caring is not just a domain
of a biological parent,
it's the domain of every human being
who wants to better their community,
our community.
[APPLAUSE]
So, how are you gonna educate our kids?
[CHUCKLING] You didn't
even finish high school.
[CROWD MURMURING]
All right, he's not lying.
School wasn't easy for me.
Everything was okay
till I got to high school
then I fell behind
and I was too ashamed
to ask for help
and nobody noticed I struggled.
So, when my mother got laid off
I told her that I would get a job.
Now, she didn't know that I
was gonna be working full-time,
but when she found out, boy,
she was hotter than fish grease.
[LAUGHING]
So, by the time
graduation rolled around,
nobody even noticed
I didn't even show up.
I fell through the cracks,
and that's what I see with these kids.
They are falling through
the cracks just like me,
and there's nobody there to catch them.
But me and my wife
we wanna be there.
We just found out that we were approved
to become foster parents.
So we wanna help out
as many kids as needed.
And that is why
I am running for the school board.
I want to make a difference.
Or at least try.
So, thank you for considering
giving me your vote.
My name is Hollywood Desonier
and to me, all kids are a star.
[APPLAUSE]
[CHEERING]
[MOUTHING]
[MOUTHING]
To wear your hard hat, Blue.
Nothing's up yet.
[BLUE] I like it. Makes me
feel in charge.
Don't need no hat for that.
That's where the cane goes, right?
- [RALPH] It goes in on top.
- [DARLA] Mmm-hmm.
And then it gets chopped
up and turns into sugar.
Then the juice is extracted and boiled.
I did a science fair project
on processing sugar.
Most kids in D.C. have no idea
where their food comes from.
Spoken like a true Bordelon.
You know you got sugar
cane in your blood, right?
Perfect amount.
[BLUE] That's what I tell
my friends. I like farming.
We have a garden at Sidwell
Mrs. Obama started when Sasha
and Malia were there,
but really small compared to ours, pops.
I'm gonna go check out the part numbers.
See, he's fine.
When he's with us.
I'm worried about when he's away.
You worry too much.
Purple?
Baby, what if the kid
don't even like purple?
That is not plain old purple,
that is electric Violet.
It's for the accent wall.
Well, it's a bold choice.
Everybody loves Violet.
I know I do.
[CHUCKLING]
Oh, okay.
You know, I just wish I knew if,
you know, we were preparing
for a girl or a boy
or knew anything about them.
In fact, baby, are they gonna tell us
why the child is in foster care?
You know?
Are we gonna know anything about what
they've been through?
I don't know, baby.
We're just gonna take it
one day at a time, okay?
Well, I guess you're right.
[CHUCKLING]
I hear you.
Hollywood
[CHUCKLING]
I keep thinking
about you in that debate.
[CHUCKLING]
That man did not know what hit him.
Ah, baby, I did my best.
I just said what I felt
and just spoke the truth.
Now we'll see what happens.
Yeah, well, whatever happens,
I'm so proud of you.
Baby, look around
I'm proud of us.
[CHUCKLING]
Place is a time capsule.
[DOMINIC] Did you spend
a lot of time here?
[NOVA] I guess I was here
a lot when I was little,
and, uh, I know this may sound weird,
but I dreamt about this
place my whole life.
I wasn't always sure if it was real
or if I made it up, but
it felt like home.
I come from a long line
of women, powerful women.
Mmm.
I felt that in you the minute I met you.
Oh, she really put space
between her and the rest of the world.
Well, it wasn't all by choice,
uh, all the women
in my family have a gift.
But her father saw it as a curse
and sent her away.
Did she ever confront him about it?
No.
He died when she was in Haiti,
but she said he visited
her in her dreams
and they made peace.
Does Ernest come to you?
He does.
Sometimes.
And my mother.
See?
She was writing her story.
The story of this land
the house.
This is Trudy's room.
That's my mother.
Martha says, "Trudy's room
gets the best light.
You have to come to this room
when you're ready."
I guess
guess I'm not ready.
This collective is gonna work.
It is, we're gonna
revolutionize web three.
Shame it needs revolutionizing.
And it's just starting.
But white supremacy works fast.
Well, we're gonna move faster.
[CHUCKLES]
They emailed me.
What was that?
It's just one of the responses
I've been waiting on.
One that I really want.
And it's the law enforcement
accountability project.
They match artists with projects
that amplify police aggression.
That's perfect for you.
I know.
Um, what are we waiting for? Move.
[COMPUTER BEEP]
"Micah, I'm thrilled to share
that on the merits of your
grassroot activism
and your current art practice,
we'd like to invite you
to accept the position
of east coast artist coordinator
for the law enforcement
accountability project."
Are you serious?
- Micah!
- I got a job?
I have a job!
[LAUGHING]
A good job!
- Yes!
- An important one.
You did! And in New York.
Remember prom night when we
were stuck in that hotel
and everybody was talking
about their dream job?
Yeah, I remember that.
You said you would end
up in something "respectable"
like a hedge fund.
[CHUCKLING]
But you didn't.
You blew off Harvard
and stayed here
because it was right for you.
New York is right for you.
You're gonna do big things.
It's just a huge
decision, like, I gotta
I can't rush into it, I got school
family, you and the collective.
Don't worry about us.
We all here.
I'll hold her down.
A collective success doesn't
always have to fall on one person.
And you can do it from New York.
My parents are gonna
freak out if I drop out.
You're parents want you to be happy.
No, they want me to make them happy.
I don't believe that.
My entire life they've told me I can
do anything, I can be anything,
just within their idea of success.
Maybe you misread that.
Either way, it's your life,
and if you want it, convince them.
[CHUCKLING]
You know, I would have
been really lost
when I came to New Orleans
if I hadn't met you.
Remember that when I need
a place to stay in New York.
[LAUGHING]
I'm serious, I'm serious.
I really came into my own here,
and you had so much to do with that.
It's like you are New Orleans to me.
He used to put his hat on my
head so I couldn't see anything.
He did that to me
when I was little, too.
I miss pops.
[BLUE] I miss papa, too.
Where do you think we go when we die?
That's a tough question.
We live on.
In people's hearts that love us most.
That's all we can do.
[PHONE RINGING]
Mr. Prosper.
Wait, slow down, you said
Cardale said what?
What's going on, Mr. Prosper?
Never thought I'd be happy
to see someone get evicted,
but he deserves it.
Who deserves something so horrible?
[BILLIE DENTON] Landry.
[SAM LANDRY] Is this necessary?
Do you really have to do this?
Look, you know,
you know this is all
just a big misunderstanding?
Never thought I'd see this day.
Didn't come soon enough.
He got away with so much.
For way too long.
My daddy would love to see this.
Hmm, yeah, well,
he's looking down on it
right now and loving it.
That's right.
You know they're gonna
auction of his land.
My land right in the middle of it.
Ralph
we will get it back.
Don't give up hope.
Hey, Landry!
What are you doing?
Want him to see who
exposed him to the USDA.
That was the borderlons
and the black farmers from St. Joe.
We did that!
[LADY IN BACKGROUND]
Hi, Dr. Barnes, how are you?
[DR. BARNES IN BACKGROUND]
Thank you, thank you so much.
Man of the hour.
[LAUGHING]
How are you doing?
Hey, new must be WiFi's girlfriend?
WiFi?
[DR. BARNES] Whole time
we were in the dessert,
all he's thinking about is
finding WiFi so he can call you.
Oh!
Hmm. [CHUCKLING]
Giving away all my secrets?
Wonderful to meet you, miss Bordelon.
Thank you for hosting us.
It's my pleasure.
This is Dr. Barnes,
he's our program chair.
At least he is for a few more months.
He's one of the few black archaeologists
who chairs a university
program and is basically my hero.
[CHUCKLING]
Something I wanna talk to you about.
Yeah, certainly.
It's not public yet,
but Tulane university
has been chosen to participate
in an international delegation
for a landmark dig
in Bamako, Mali.
Congratulations! That is massive.
I'd like you to lead it.
[STUTTERING]
Uh, thank you, Dr. Barnes, I
I, are you sure?
I mean, this is your dream.
Our dreams shine brighter
when they're stepping stones for others.
It's your turn, young man.
[STUTTERING]
I I thank you.
I don't know what to say.
The dig will start end of spring,
16 months in a cradle of civilization.
You earned it.
I can think of no one better
to represent me and our university.
Think about that.
I don't wanna be away
from you that long again.
Not so soon, not like this.
But
this is everything you've wanted.
Everything you've been working
toward your whole career.
This is it!
Yeah, I know, but I don't wanna
do it without you, though, Nova.
I don't, like
Would you come with me?
Would you
Would you move to Africa with me?
[STUTTERING] Whatever this is,
I wanna experience it together
with my love, with my
my best friend.
You're one of my favorite
people in the world.
You're one of my favorites, too.
But Dominic, this is your
destiny not mine.
This is your path
and you have to follow it.
My path leads here.
You changed my life.
I feel the same.
[MESSAGE ALERT]
[PHONE RINGING]
[LAUGHING]
Very funny.
[BILLIE] You okay?
I know breakups are hard.
I'm just writing, um
Been inspired lately
to tackle a new subject.
[BILLIE] Well, you sound like
you're in a good place.
Listen, if you need to cry,
or scream, or go get a drink,
I'm here for you.
Don't be too strong to fall apart, okay?
I hope you don't mind me saying that.
No, no, that's fine. That's
I'm just following where the
universe is taking me. [CHUCKLES]
Local business man Sam Landry,
behind on loan payments,
was accused of bribing
local USDA officials.
The land seizure is set
for auction this week.
One of the largest asset
seizures in Louisiana history
[PARTHENA] I wouldn't
wish that on my worst enemy.
All that land.
[BILLIE] Most of it's stolen
from black farmers.
It's the only piece that matters to me.
Might as well just auction off my daddy.
Look, we have Nova's advance money
and everyone in the co-op
is willing to pitch in.
Same as they did for Parthena.
Yeah, well, all our money
together couldn't help out Parthena.
She got less land than Landry got.
Look, all these companies and people,
they coming out the wood
works for this property.
Uh, I don't wanna cause
an alarm, but I just heard
from Hugh over at the hardware store.
Sam's not going down without a fight.
Now he's calling in old favors
and his friends are talking
about showing up at the auction.
Win or lose, we have to try.
All his friends got deep pockets.
They have deep pockets but I
know folks here with bigger hearts.
But hey, y'all. Listen up.
Now, y'all seen the news,
you know what's going on.
All right? Now we have to band
together to help Ralph Angel.
- [WOMAN] Mmm-hmm.
- [PROSPER] He and his family, they've come through for us.
Now it's time for us
to come through for them.
All right, now they're gonna
auction off his land in two days.
So, every little bit helps.
Okay? Please.
[INDISTINCT MURMURING]
If it comes down to a fight,
we're right there with you.
Thank you, Mr. Prosper.
Like you always told me,
one step at a time.
So, you know, I was in New York
and I met with an investor,
grandma knows her,
but this is not about her.
I just
[CHARLEY] What's going on, Micah?
Mom, I got a job offer
while I was in New York.
- So, plan is to drop out of Xavier
- [CHARLEY] What?
and start a new chapter there.
[CHARLEY SIGHS] Micah,
you're starting to make
choices that you'll have to
live with for the rest of your life.
Are you, are you even thinking
- about that?
- Mom, mom, mom.
You don't get it.
I have never felt more sure
about anything, ever.
[CHARLEY] I don't know what to say.
This is the part where you say,
"congratulations, Micah."
"I knew you could do it."
[CHARLEY] I just don't know anymore.
I just thought you'd be happy for me.
Everyone else is.
This is a great opportunity
for me to explore,
to move forward in my life.
[CHARLEY] Think about your future.
You could have talked
to us first before you went
I'm not asking for your permission.
I'm an adult.
You just insist on
treating me like a kid.
[CHARLEY] Then stop acting like one!
I'm not act you're not
even listening to me.
Like, I'm not going to
New York to just live there.
This is exactly what I've been
working for.
This is exactly what I wanna
do with the rest of my life.
Make art, make community.
Have a job, I'm gonna have
access to so many people
who actually see me for who I am.
I have to be there.
[CHARLEY] Well, we'll talk
more later. I gotta go, bye.
Now, this room is better, right?
I mean, it's closer. That way,
if they need us, we can hear 'em.
And I tell you, baby, this,
this electric Violet,
it's the right choice,
baby, you nailed it.
You think they'll like it?
We can always repaint.
I thought we would have
gotten the call by now.
Do you think that there's a problem?
I think our baby will
come right on time.
I don't know.
[SIGHS]
I mean, maybe our time has passed.
You know?
Maybe this, this isn't
the right thing to do.
I am not a young woman.
You, Violet Bordelon, are timeless.
- I'm serious.
- And so am I.
You can imagine me, a baby and me?
With parents that
are barely Micah's age?
I could see any child
being lucky calling you mama.
Do you think belinda
has changed her mind?
Just need to be patient, baby.
Just a little bit.
[NOVA GASPS] Miss Pearl.
[PEARL] So pleased that you came back.
Say prayers for miss Martha's journey.
She was a good woman.
She deserves this.
Ladies, shall we begin?
- Yes.
- [WOMAN MURMURING]
We ask in the name of our
beloved Martha Lavoisier.
That as her soul
separates from her body,
she be granted peace.
May her homegoing path be clear
and her journey be filled
with euphoric Joy.
May our hearts be strengthened.
We know and believe
that while absent in mind,
she is present in spirit
and in spirit she is mighty.
