SKYE: What the hell was that? 

G: What the hell was what?

What? Her?? (Laughs) Yooooo… I know you ain’t tripping over no stripper. 

SKYE: Uh uh - it ain’t even about that and you know it. I ain’t about to let some bitch play in my face; she lucky she was in your shop.

[ NYLAH: I want 🍕 when you getting home? ]

[ JOCELYN: I’m giving mommy a pedicure – just save me some ]

[ NYLAH: Awww - OK see you later 😘 ]

CONNIE: Guess your girl likes to check up on you too, huh?

JOCELYN: It’s just pizza. 

CONNIE: Nothing to be ashamed of - it feels good to have someone who has your back, ¿ que no ?

JOCELYN: I guess.

CONNIE: What’s on your mind, baby? 

JOCELYN: Mercedes told me Puerto Verde came for Lala and Gloria.

CONNIE: It’s not our business, mija.

JOCELYN: They’re still important to Q and Dreamy, though, right? And they were like, kinda family – right?

CONNIE: it’s different; I love the girls, but you’re talking about some sticky business.

JOCELYN: Sticky how? You don’t have to protect me; I know you, Papi, Tia Nanda and Dreamy were in that life for a long time. 

CONNIE: We never hid that from you, but that’s why we work so hard to give you a better life.

JOCELYN: Look at Tianna – she didn’t get out as easy. And look what happened to Lupe.

CONNIE: That wasn’t about the life, baby. She chose the wrong man and it affected her kids. That’s exactly what me and Papi tried to avoid. 

JOCELYN: So you’re saying, we can’t help them? 

CONNIE: i’m saying we stay in our lane for now. We’ll cross that bridge if we have to get to it.

JOCELYN: your life is so glamorous – y’all get to go everywhere.

ES: Yeah – where are y’all headed after Del Sol? 

CORA: We have a few stops before we head to Sand’s; but we’re gonna do a little work before we get out of here.

JOCELYN: Es said you’re gonna help her with a website; can you help me with one too?

JUDE: Tell you what – as soon as Corrie and me get settled, we can all do a video conference and I’ll show you how it’s done. Start writing your ideas down in the meantime.

CORA: I put a little something together for you; a little toolbox for living on your own. You know I’m only a call away, right?

JUDE: Don’t worry, babe – we’ll get to see your mom soon.

CORA: Just thinking about MyMy; I know how much my mom and Lupe have been struggling since she’s been gone.

JUDE: We just got a hold on, baby. Not much longer. 

[ INCOMING CALL: LO ]

CORA: You gotta be kidding me.

JUDE: Just so you know, we’re in San Sequoia. 

LO: Seeing the fam? That’s sweet. Can you make a pitstop near HQ on your way back? 

JUDE: I spoke to Buddha and she’s picking up some of the slack. Can you ask her to do it?

LUPE: I can’t believe it – we gave our copy to Tia Thalli and Tio Carmen.

JUDE: They told us. But we thought you should have one for your new place too. 

ES: I can’t wait to show this to Joc and Nylah. Come and check out our backyard; it’s our chill spot – it even has a garden!

JOCELYN: Missed you, Prima. 

CORA: Missed you too, kid. 

OK! I see you’re set up, aye? Even me and Jude don’t have a pool.

JOCELYN: Jude!

JUDE: Hey Joc.

JOCELYN: I can’t wait for us to turn up here; our parties gon’ be lit.

CORA: Hey Nylah. Good to see you.

NYLAH: what’s up, dreamy? What you think of the spot? 

CORA: Y’all hooked it up. How did your mom take it when you told her you were moving out?

NYLAH: It was mixed – part of her was glad to have more space for her and her man, but she ain’t liking me being so far from her, tho. 

JUDE: We were gonna go see your mom and your Poppy after we left here, but they told us to wait. What’s up with that?

JOCELYN: Nah, don’t take that personal – this is a big deal for my mom; she wants everything to be perfect before everybody comes over. Even me and Ny ain’t allowed over there yet.
