Your best friends are there
for all of life's special moments,
for all those times you really need them the most.
Then, you know, you grow older,
and life gets a little bit more complicated,
and those really special times...
you don't get them as much.
Ari, this is Hazel, girl.
Look, I -- I got to bail on you.
I'm sorry, but I can't make it.
Ari, it's Bree.
The sitter just called me to cancel.
Ari, sweetie.
Uh, Preston Langley and his wife just arrived.
Honestly, we haven't seen this much excitement
for a candidate in a long, long time.
Preston, Judith, so honored to have your support.
The Senate is just the beginning.
And he's going to need all the support he can get.
Are you still working those crazy hours at Davis Polk?
Last I heard, you were on track to make partner.
Oh, no. My attorney days are behind me.
Running his campaign is a full-time job.
Oh, is Megan still at Masterman Prep?
Yes, and she loves it!
Yeah, we're really, truly blessed.
Hm.
The Boys & Girls Club would love to have either of you
speak at our Youth of the Year Dinner.
Oh, consider it done. Ari's an amazing speaker.
I would love to do the luncheon.
The 15th? Mm.
Let's pencil it in.
In fact, we're both so passionate
about education that we're thrilled David has been
endorsed by the Teacher's Union.
The rising costs of healthcare are completely unacceptable.
Yo, that is great. I'm good.
I don't -- I don't need to do anything else.
Do you -- Do you want me to do something?
No. We got it. We're done.
Come on in here. Bet.
I'm coming in.
Thank you so much for giving me this song, Khalil.
Are you kidding me?
I wrote that with you in mind. That was your song.
It is perfect.
I -- I want it to be my first single, but...
I'll probably have to coax Derek into it.
What are you worried about Derek for?
You know, it's your decision, not his.
You know what?
You're right.
It's gonna be my first single, God damn it!
Yes! Now, that's what I'm talking about.
You got a release date yet?
Halloween. Oh, man!
I'll tell you, your fans are gonna lose their mind
when they hear this.
Well, you better tell that to the label
'cause every time I turn around,
my album takes a back seat to whatever new chick
they just signed out of preschool.
Can I keep it 100 with you?
Always.
Your last joint, it didn't hit because it wasn't you.
You focus on that music and taking that number-one spot
come Halloween.
Okay? Yeah.
All right? Yeah.
You got this. Yes!
Thank you, Khalil.
Ah.
I'm Batman, and I'm saving Gotham!
Ollie, please put down the iPad and help Mommy get ready.
Off the couch! Now!
You have five seconds to get ready or else
Gotham's gonna be the least of your worries.
Do you hear me?Come on!
Imani, bring Mommy the hairbrush, okay?
Yes? Hey, I'm outside.
We're not ready. Ollie!
You want me to help? I can come in --
No, it's fine.
Okay.
Come on. Let's go.
Daddy! Daddy!
Hey! It's my babies!
Ooh! Ooh! Oh, wait. Let me help Mommy.
I got it. Okay.
Hey, guys, want to go to Coney Island?
Yeah!
All right. I love you so much.
Be good for Daddy.Bye, Mommy. Love you, too.
Ooh, I love you!All right, guys.
In the car, in the car, in the car, in the car.
Have them back Sunday by 10:00.Okay.
Hey, you given any more thought to us going to therapy?
Bye, Gary.
Are you serious about it? Yo, come -- Yo, come on, sir.
What -- Yo, come on. You already know.
Stella Bentley got the hottest joint on the streets right now,
and you're low-balling?
Yo, do me a favor --
call me back when you're serious, all right?
Yo, whatever happened to that Blue Valentino
I told you to wear?
I didn't like the neckline.
I tell you to wear these things, it's for a reason.
Why? Is there something wrong with what I'm wearing? No.
No, it's just more forgiving for the camera, that's all.
Hazel! Hazel!
Derek! Looking sharp! Looking sharp!
Right over here!
Derek!Derek, over here!
Stella! Stella!Over here! Over here!
Oh, you know what?
Why don't you go wait for me inside?
I'll be right there. I'll be right there. All right?
Yeah, baby.
Yeah. Yeah.
Queen has arrived.
Yeah, I got you.
We're all dying for your sophomore album.
Have you set a release date?Yeah, yeah, yeah.
We just decided today that we're gonna release
Stella Bentley's next album on Halloween, all right?
So get your costumes ready, folks.
It's gonna be a big party. Right?
...screaming at me in public? I told you about that.
You gave that little bitch my release date?!
Yo, could you calm down, please?!
I am not pushing back my release date for her!
The partners made a decision. It's out of my hands.
Derek, you are one of the partners, and I am your wife.
You're supposed to support me, not your little girlfriend!
There you go getting paranoid again.
You're ain't got to be paranoid, baby.
Listen, it was a good business move, all right?
It's Halloween.
Date's wide open, and Stella's probably gonna hit number one,
so, you know, we didn't want to waste a date --
On my album?That's not what I'm saying.
Wow. Thank you for believing in me, Derek!
Oh, not yet.
Not -- Not yet.
Ohh.
Ooh.
Ohh.
All right, I'm gonna give it to you so good, baby.
Whoo!
Hold on a second.
Ohh!
Unh! Uh-huh.
Unh! Yeah.
Oh! Oh, there it is!
Ohh! Ohh!
Ohhhh. Ohh.
Okay. Whoa.
Ohh.
Oh, babe, that was great.
Ahh.
Ooh! Gave it to you good, baby.
Mmm.
Yo, it's me, Derek. Leave a message.
No, he didn't.
Give me some of that. Give me some of that. Give me some of that.
Oh, you're about to die.
Baby?
Baby, baby, baby, baby. Your fuckin' wife.
Your wife. Your wife. Your wife.
What the hell is going on here, Derek?
All right... let me explain this.
I know that this trick is not recording my song!
Yoursong? Yes!
I didn't know you still had a career.
Stella, not right now.Then when, Derek?
Everybody knows except her.Not right now!
I already know you're sleeping with her.
I just want to hear you actually say it.
You gonna let me explain?
Just tell the truth for once...
...and I'll leave.
All right.
Me and Stella, we to--
Bastard! Yo! Yo, chill!
Yo, calm down!
Yo! Just ca-- Yo!
You calm down, you asshole!
Everybody out. Out!
Come on, baby.Baby.
No, no. You, too, bitch!
Uh, who are you calling a bitch?
For the love -- For the love of Go--You, bitch!
All right.
You want the truth?
I'm relieved. It is exhausting.
At least now I can focus...
on Stella's career.
And what about our marriage?
Come on, girl, you know this --
it's been over.
I'm tired of this charade.
It's time for us both to just move on.
And what about my music?
Ah...
It's the record company.
They want to shelve the project indefinitely.
Since when?
Girl, you know, we lost a lot of money on that last record.
That's because you made me do wack-ass music.
Hazel, you ain't been hot in a long time!
Gonna hear from my lawyer. Settlement is gonna be fair.
It's a lot better than you're gonna get
if you try to fight me on this.
Even gonna let you have the penthouse.
You're gonna let me?
Bitch, my second album bought that penthouse
and the suit you got on and that nice watch.
Stella and I won't go public with this relationship
until our divorce is finalized.
Mm.
Mm-hmm. ...Friday at 3:00 and Saturday mornings at 10:00...
Definitely. ...followed by a digital post-show...
Well, let us know when the fundraiser is,
and we'll be there.
Speaking of celebrities, Hazel Rachelle is in the news
as the most controversial trending topic of the day.
A bombshell video just dropped this morning,
exposing hip-hop's fave couple...
I-I-I'm gonna have to call you back.
...music mogul Derek Ellsworth
and his multiplatinum recording artist wife,
Hazel Rachelle, involved in a very heated altercation.
Sources tell us the video was leaked
from a security camera inside the recording studio,
where Hazel unleashes
on the Harlem Boy Records executive
and her label mate, viral sensation Stella Bentley.
Girl, did you see it?Girl, I'm watching it right now.
Did you see her throw the phone at his face?
I think we need to see if she's okay.
Mm-hmm. Girl, bye.
Hi, Hazel. It's Ari and Bree again.
Um, please call us, okay?
We just want to make sure you're all right.
She's not picking up, and I don't have a good feeling.
Well, you don't think she'd, like, do something bad?
No, no. The old Hazel, no.
No, never. It's, uh...
But it's been so long.
All I know is that she needs us.Oh, my God.
Look at all these people in front of Hazel's building.
There's no way we can get through all them.
I have an idea.
...hear us?Oh, my God!
God, you guys scared me!
What are you doing out there?
He-- Hello?
Bitch, you got us out here like a bunch of brown-titty
Spider-Men and whatnot, just climbing the side
of a building like it's our second job.
What's wrong with you?
I need space!
Who doesn't pick up the phone when somebody calls them?
Open up.
I'll get the super.
Just give me 10 minutes. Shit.
Open up this window right now!Hazel. Hazel.
Open it up!
Open the window!Open the window!
We need Hennessy!
He always denied it, but I always knew.
Always.
You knew, and all you did was throw that phone?
Okay, Hazel, I'm very impressed.
I liked us.
I mean, I hated us, but I mean, I -- I liked us.
I liked the idea of us.
I don't really know who I am without him.
You were the star in that relationship, boo.Mm-hmm.
You're the reason why people even know his name.
That's true.
And they still want to hear from you.
You know what? I'm -- I'm so sorry.
I-I've been so caught up in my own shit that I just --
I-I haven't even stopped to ask you.
How -- How are you doing?
Oh, hell, we're gonna talk about that,
I'm gonna need another shot of this
whatever this expensive stuff is.
Not you and Gary?
Oh. Yeah.
We're separated.
Since when?
Since two months.
Um...
Still very fresh.
He cheated.
Nerdy-ass Gary who used to help me write my papers?
What are you talking about?
Girl, it surprised me, too.
I mean, Gary is the type you never even see coming.
Oh, he came all right.
Claimed it only happened the one time, apologized,
wants to make it up to me, make it up to us,
but I don't know, man.
I don't know how to... deal with that.
Like, that kind of betrayal, you know, just doesn't go away.
Damn. And since we're going around,
do we have to open up another bottle for David?
No.
Thank God. No.
Um, we are focused on the campaign,
but I'm very happy.
Really?
You're very happy?Mm.
Because the Ari I know could have been senator herself.
Like, I can't believe you stopped practicing law.
Wait a minute. Wait. Wait. Wait. Wait.
You stopped practicing law?
Look, look, I -- we are -- are very busy with our schedules,
and so I had to make a choice.
But that's -- that's life, right?
No. That is not life.
We got to start living our lives for ourselves.
We are amazing.
We are beautiful, intelligent, focused, driven women.
Why do they get to have all the fun?You're right!
I'm tired of being the one to make all the sacrifices.
Yes.
Get off your ass!
We are going out tonight.Okay, see, no.
I don't own any clothes that don't double as pajamas,
and I haven't shaved in like -- when did we graduate?
A long time.
That is exactly why Hazel Rachelle
has her own personal glam squad.
What?! Oh, my God!
I'm getting a makeover like on "The Today Show"?
We're going out!
Hey. Are you sure Gina's not out?
Because it feels like she can see you,
which makes me very nervous that you could see her right now.
That's all I'm saying.
You look amazing.
Trust me.
And so does Gina.
Oh, Lord.
Looking good from over here.
What? Me?
That dress looks perfect on you.
Oh. Oh.
Thanks, sir.
Thanks, young man.Bree, we're gonna be over here.
Oh, okay. Let's go.
No, no, no, baby. Uh, weare gonna go over there.
You are gonna stay right here.
I thought we're having girl time?
Uh, do you not see that sexy-ass man?
Don't overthink it.
Have another drink and have some fun.
Gary sure as hell did.
I didn't say it. Wow!
Come on. Okay.
Hi.
Um, my name is Bree. I didn't catch your name.
Jesus.
Derek has always been a real piece of shit,
but I never thought he'd flaunt it in your face like that.
What a snake. The worst.
And to add insult to injury,
that snake took my song and gave it to Stella.
It was gonna be my comeback record,
but nobody's ever gonna hear it.
That's not necessarily true.
I am both frightened and intrigued
by your facial expression.
Darling, explain.
Okay, so Derek owns and controls the rights,
which means you can't profit,
but that doesn't mean you couldn't creatively
distribute it to the public anyway.
For free.
Wait. I'm confused.
Haze, somebody could "accidentally"
leak your version before Stella's drops,
which would in effect kill hers.
Oh.
Yeah, but Derek would kill me if I did that.
Okay, then, somebody,
say, a willing third party that you trust,
would have to make sure it can't ever be traced back to you.
I mean, could that be done?
Hypothetically?
I have a guy who can get that done.
Perfect.
I have an emergency.
Oh, my God. Are you okay? Yes.
No.
Okay, he wants to give me the D.What?
Jesus, the bartender, he wants to give me the D,
like, tonight.
Jesus wants to bless you with the almighty D.
Hazel, I don't know him!
I don't know him. I can't go home with him.
What if he tries to kill me?
Oh, girl, he is not gonna try to kill you.
That beautiful man -- Mm.
...is gonna dick you down.
Mm-hmm. Yes!
I really want to be dicked down.
Girl, you deserve to be dicked down.Yup.
I do deserve to be dicked down.Mm-hmm.
I don't even know what single girls are doing right now.
I mean, you see all those thotties on Instagram?
I can't be clapping my ass like that.
I mean, I don't know if all the parts look
the same after I had kids.
You've seen Ollie's head. It's big.
You are going to enjoy every minute of it.
I haven't been with anybody but Gary since college,
and that's the only dick I've seen in years.
Please, honey, just don't talk yourself
out of pleasure you desperately need.
I need this. You need dick.
I need dick.Yes. A little dick.
I need dick.
Damn it.
Thank you, Jesus.
These shoes were a good idea last night,
but not so much this morning.
Oh.
Mm. Mm.
Just got a new track from Hazel, y'all, and it's hot.
It's called "What I Want," and I'm telling y'all right now,
she's back with a vengeance.
Breezy?
Hey!
Why aren't you getting morning dick?
Girl, listen.
It's your song! They're playing your song on the radio!
Ari! What? What? What? What? What?
It -- It worked.
They're playing my song on the radio!
They're playing your song on the radio!
It's amazing!
I'm sorry. It's my friend's song. You know what I'm saying?
I told you!
I know! Brilliant!
Thank you! Brilliant!
Girl, dance it out, honey! Dance it out! Yes!
I'm a mom.
Oh, shit!
I was supposed to be at the campaign event
like 20 minutes ago.
Uh, uh, Breezy, um, um, let me call you back, all right?
Oh, God. Don't trip.
I'm gonna get my driver to come drop you off.
Okay. Hold on.
All right. Okay, let's go.
Damn, they've been playing your joint back-to-back.
That shit's fire. Thank you.
Hi, baby. What's up?
Yo, stop playing with me, girl. I know you leaked that song.
What song?
All right, that's how you want to play this?
Now, you choose to go down this road,
I will turn your cushy life upside down
just because I can.
Now stop playing with me and sign the damn agreement.
You know what, darling? Let me be clear with you.
I'm not signing your shitty-ass deal,
and, uh, you need to lawyer all the way up
because I certainly will.
Have you heard my new song yet, Walter?
I'm sorry, Ms. Rachelle.
You no longer have access to the building.
Excuse me?
Walter, let me into my house.
I'm very sorry, Ms. Rachelle, but I can't.
You'll have to take the matter up with Mr. Derek.
Derek.
That son of a bitch.
