A son can't come by and see his mama?
Well, I mean, I wasn't expecting you.
-[Kareem chuckles] -QUANISHA: Oh, well, I mean, it's my fault.
We were hanging, and I told 'Reem,
"Now, you know you can't be in the neighborhood
and not go holla at your mama."
-She did say that. -Mm-hmm.
So, here we are.
Can we come in, Mama? [chuckles]
Oh, uh, yeah, sure.

SHEILA: Mm-hmm. You think Vanessa
killed that girl? I think she did.
Me, too. You know she always had an attitude.
-Mm-hmm. -Okay, okay. Stop, stop.
Just because somebody have an attitude
doesn't make them a killer.
Kareem, if a bitch mess with you,
I'm-a cut her.
And I appreciate that, Quanisha.
The only reason she's rich enough
to get away with it is because of you.
Ma, please.
No, no, no, Kareem. Your mother is right.
Look.

He's having a pool party tomorrow,

A pool party? What, you working?
No. I'm on the guest list.

Everybody gather around, please. Everybody gather around.
MJ: Sorry.
Grab a glass of this delicious wine,
brought to you by my lovely wife.
Yeah, yeah. Grab a glass. There we go.
-Last but not least. -[laughter]
-Standing right here. -Yes.
Uh, I'm sure she won't mind that I'm doing this.
Uh, so as you guys are aware, uh, my beautiful wife
just became co-owner of a winery.
-What?! -[overlapping chatter]
Exactly! So we're gonna taste the wine
and put that wine cellar downstairs to good use, finally.
And get rid of some of that Henny you have stashed in there.
Bring it over to my house, child.
[overlapping chatter and laughter]
In all seriousness,
I wouldn't be where I am without this lovely woman right here.
And I want to say I'm very proud of her,
and I think she's gonna kill this.
And if I know my wife, I know she'll kill it.
So, with that being said, I'd like to raise a glass to her.
Okay?
To my heart, my love, congratulations, baby.
Thank you.
That's so sweet.
[overlapping chatter]
-Cheers. -Congratulations.
Cheers, y'all. Drink up, it's good.
Yes. All right...
Drink up, please. Mmm.

[insects chirping]
I'm so tired.
Um. Hey, uh, let's talk.
What now?
I just want to talk to you.
I just want to talk.
We need to start over.
[sighs]
We need to start over before what's slipping away
is gone for good.
I've been right here the whole time, Marques.
I haven't left.
-There is a money thing. -I knew it.
I should have told you. I should have.
Yeah, you should have.
What's her name?
It was Kalinda.
[stammers] After the situation between me and her,
you know, she got fired and no teams would hire her.
Oh, poor ho.
I gave her money to set her up
so she could go away and we could finally move on.
It's always something with you.
No, that's-that's from that same situation.
Nothing new has ha-- I haven't done anything s...
I'm gonna-- I'm gonna do better.
And...
I know you don't want to hear this, but the women,
you know, they just, they keep coming and they will not stop,
and I wasn't ready for it.
And I'm sorry.
I am so sorry.
Look, I understand about the women, and...
Babe, babe, babe.
Whatever you think you know, it's way worse.
It's way worse. But...
...I am going to do better.
I swear.
Matter of fact, look.
Let's switch phones.
-Why? -'Cause I want you to trust me.
You know, I'm-a give you my passcode, and, matter of fact,
I'm-a put your fingerprint in this.
-That way, you'll have access... -Babe, I trust you. I trust you.
-You trust me? -Yes.
-You do? -I trust you.
-You love me? -Mm-hmm.
I love you.
I love you, too.
NIA: Vanessa and Marques were mentioned
in that dead cheerleader case, and she asked me to help.
So he's in L.A., and you saw him?
She asked me to call him, babe.
Nia, I didn't even know you was talking to him.
We are not talking. [chuckles]
It was for Vanessa.
-[scoffs] -What?
[Eric sighs]
Are you serious?
Do I look serious?
Do I look like I'm laughing? Do it look like it's funny?
Okay, I'm-a just let you calm down.

-Next onGames People Play... -Thought you had practice.
Told them I was sick, so I could sleep in,
spend some time with you.
DESIREE: So this is why you missed practice?
So, I thought you might have been hiding
from the investigation.
I thought you said we were good.
Vanessa called Eric "Terrence."
So now Eric is pissed.
Look, it was an accident.
You blocked me, big-time.
I said I was sorry, okay? The last thing I want to do
is block you, 'cause Lord knows you need some.
What did you take when you were hurt?
-You hurt? -Don't tell nobody, please.
Who am I gonna tell?
