Previously on Single Ladies...
He's my professor.
Looks like you were getting some serious extra credit.
If he doesn't finish an album in two months, you're out the
door with him.
Are you high?
What is your deal?
I can't rush into anything, especially anything physical.
This is the south.
It's easy to go slow.
Cam'ron was wearing one of my pieces, and somebody jacked him.
Stealing his watch has been on my conscience ever since I
took it.
I think it's time that I come clean with him.
Well, as a matter of fact, I did--I slept with my college
roommate val.

Jerry, thank you again.
I had so much fun with you this weekend.
Trust me, I needed to get away.
Darling, any time you need to get away, even without me,
you have carte blanche on my jet.
Okay? Just let me know.
I keep waiting for someone to pinch me and tell me that you
are just a dream.
I promise you I'm real.
As was Las Vegas.
Thank you for trusting me enough to go away with me this weekend.
No. Thank you for being a complete gentleman.
It's rare for me to meet a woman these days who...Wants to
take the time to get to know a man.
I respect you for that.
I also respect the fact that it's 3:00 a. M., and I'm going to
continue to be a gentleman and let you get some sleep, so...
I'll call you tomorrow.
I can only hope.
Good night.
Val?
You up?
Mm.
I am now.
Did you have fun in Vegas?
I had the best time.
Oh... Jerry has a beautiful house there.
He cooked for me all weekend long.
Treated me like a queen.
[Giggles]
And to top it off... We slept in separate bedrooms.
Mm-hmm.
The man is classy.
Wow. I'm really glad you had a good time and that you're in
a good place.
Mm-hmm.
Because while you were gone, there were some... Developments.
What kind?
[Gasps]
No way!
Oh, my God!
How did they trace this back to me?
There are a million Vals in the world!
She could have been talking about anyone.
Yeah, well, she wasn't.
Remember now... You're in a good place.
Right.
Where did you get that from?
We just have to call the website, and we tell them they
have to take it down.
Good luck.
Because it's on Google.
These pictures--they have all been photoshopped.
I haven't spoken to or seen Sharon in years!
Okay, first things first.
Is it true?
Did you do the dirty dirty with Sharon love?
Kinda.
[Gasps]
I mean a little.
Ooh!
Yes. But it was just one time.
We were in college.
And we were both drunk.
It just...Happened.
Oh, my God!
[Gasps]
Oh! What am I gonna tell my mother?
Just tell her the truth.
You're gay.
Oh, my God.
[Snickers]
Reed.
Reed!
What?
Oh, April, hey.
Have you been here all night?
What time is it?
9:00.
In the morning?
I was supposed to just take a nap.
I set my phone-- where's my phone?
Did you get any work done?
Did you work on that new song?
I started to, but I don't know, I wasn't feeling it so I
called a couple chicks over here to help me get motivated.
That didn't answer my question.
No, April, I didn't.
It's not the end of the world.
No, you're right.
The world is safe.
Just not so sure about your career.
If you could focus for a couple of months, stop partying and
drinking long enough to finish your debut album, you might
actually debut.
Then, you know, stop putting me with these producers that
don't get me.
Put me with hit makers like Timbaland or Pharrell...Rodney
jerkins.
Hell, even Max Martin.
I agree.
You should be working with some of the best producers, but
they're expensive.
And you've already blown through the money that Wes gave you up
front, so...We're kinda working on favors right now, you know?
Trying to pull out a miracle.
Wes listens to you.
Maybe you could get him to release some of the money I get
on the back end?
I tried that... And the stapler he threw at me is still
stuck in the wall.
[Sighs] Oh... okay.
I'm about to do something that's going to turn out to be either
really stupid or absolutely brilliant.
What?
I have a little money of my own that I am willing to invest
in you.
If I get you a heavyweight producer, you have to promise
you won't screw me.
Reed, look at me.
I'm serious.
You'd do that for me?
We've already gone over this.
It's for me.
I love you.
Get to work.
Okay, what about Angelina Jolie?
I know she's tiny, but those big sexy eyes and lips make up for
it.
Naomi Campbell's pretty.
Or what about Carmen Electra?
She's still hot.
Salma Hayek?
J.Lo?
Come on, val.
We're just trying to get a feel for your taste.
I like men.
It's Halle, ain't it?
I don't blame you.
Halle's fine.
She could get it...All of it.
You guys must not like being employed, because you're really
poking the tiger.
Val, for the record, I think you and Eva Longoria will make a
cute couple.
This is nuts.
Do you know how many phone calls I'm getting from old friends and
family members saying that they already knew and it's about time
that I came out of the closet?
Well, you are in your 30s.
You're still single.
You've never been married.
You also don't have any kids.
And don't forget, you live with a beautiful, voluptuous woman.
Who's also single.
And who also doesn't have kids.
Huh.
I do have a gay-looking life.
If I were gay, I would just say so.
I mean, what's the big deal?
I had that same revelation three days ago.
Hey, val.
How long has it been, ten years?
I don't know whether to strangle you or hug you.
What were you thinking saying my name on the air like that?
I was thinking my mic was off.
Girl, I been trying to find you ever since.
But I lost your number three phones ago.
I'm so sorry.
Anyway, this whole thing has been a nightmare for the both of us.
Ha.
For me, the timing couldn't be worse.
I just got my own national talk show.
Congratulations!
That's great!
Yeah, it was great until this whole thing scared corporate.
They a bunch of conservative old guys who're giving me the blues
because they didn't buy "a gay Sharon love."
They don't want any controversy.
Excuse me, val.
Would you like to join us, since you're listening anyway?
Well, I'm happy you got your own talk show, because I
was worried about what I was gonna do with my afternoons once
Oprah ended.
But you're the perfect person to fill that void.
And that's exactly how I sold it.
I said, "America is gonna need another big-boned black woman
with an ample bosom to cry into, and that's me."
[Laughter]
I don't see it.
I'm just keeping it real.
You have a local appeal, but national?
Really, girl?
You? No!
[Laughs]
Since she has the gift of foresight, I'm wondering why she
didn't foresee that college might have saved her from a
lifetime of folding sweaters.
Oh?
Keisha. Could you help that customer over there?
Please?
Val, you could have done better.
Even drunk.
You know, I'm doing a segment on my show about women struggling to make the
transition to the mainstream.
Just how long has she been off the pole?
Oh, let me-- Keisha, please.
I know a stripper when I see one.
Please.
Um, I know this is really bad timing, but my mom loves you.
She'd kill me if I didn't get your autograph.
Here you go.
Am I pushing it?
Picture?
Girl, gimme the phone.
Let me find my light.
Yeah, that's good.
Cheers.
Okay, val, I should go.
I'm sure that this whole thing is gonna blow over...
Once Charlie sheen or one of them housewives does something stupid.
Right?
[Both laughing]
Girl, you shedding.
Oh, really?
You know what?
We had those wool sweaters over there.
You got some down here too.
Do I? Thank you.
Look at that.
Oh... [both gasp]
Thanks. That'll be worth at least 2,500.
Thank you!
Sharon!
I-- Sharon?
She probably let them in here.
[Both making fighting noises]
Oh!
You knocked me out!
I thought you said you were a southern gentleman.
Hey, not in a boxing ring, sugar.
Oh... that was quite a workout.
I'm gonna have to rehydrate before our rematch.
Yeah.
Well, now that I beat up on you, can we talk about the, um...
Elephant in the room?
Oh.
[Laughs]
Okay.
You know, I was hoping this whole thing would go away.
Mm-hmm.
You know... It was just one time in college.
I-I was talking about Quinn.
But I do wanna get back to that other thing.
Okay.
So what do you want to know about Quinn?
Sweetheart, who you dated-- that's your business.
But Quinn was engaged to my daughter, and I happen to own
the team he plays for.
So I just wanna make sure that you're not uncomfortable with that.
That's sweet of you to ask.
I didn't bring it up because you didn't bring it up.
I would say so if it did.
Trust me--Quinn?
Is the furthest thing from my mind.
Why? Does it make you uncomfortable?
I'm here, ain't I?
So...Now that that's out of the way... You wanna know about Sharon love.
Mm-hmm.
No, we are not a couple.
And no, I am not a lesbian.
Okay.
I have to admit that the reason I thought you were taking
it slow was that... I was just a beard.
You seriously thought that?
Come on, this is Atlanta.
It's a great city.
But not everybody is as evolved as you want them to be.
There's a lot of social pressure on a woman, you know, to have a
man, have a family.
Jerry. Please.
Stop.
I like men.
In fact, I love men.
And the reason I take it slow is because in the past I have
always been too quick to jump in with both feet without taking
the time to make sure that the relationship is right.
I take it slow because when you wait... It makes it all the more special.
Okay.
I stand corrected.
You seriously thought I was using you as a beard?
[Laughing]
Put your gloves on.
Ordinarily, I don't hit a woman.
Oh.
[Laughing]
Oosh! Go.
You sure you don't need me to stay, val?
We could get a rush of customers any minute.
No, you can go.
It's a slow day.
Keisha and I can handle it.
[Whispers] Thank you.
Quit playing.
I was trying to see if I passed my real estate license exam.
Keisha.
It was a test.
Of course you didn't pass.
You might wanna butch up your run.
[Gasps]
What happened?
Did you pass?
Yeah!
Oh!
I knew I wanted to get my license, but I didn't know it would feel this good.
I mean, I still need to get a broker to sponsor me but... I passed!
Congratulations.
I am so proud of you, Keish.
Thanks.
Me too.
Mm, mm, mm!
Don't let me get interested in medicine.
I'll mess around and discover a cure for something.
[Dialing phone]
Hey, Malcolm, what's up?
Look, we're swamped, and val really needs me to stay,
so I'm gonna have to reschedule our lunch today.
I'm so sorry.
Okay. Talk to you later, buddy.
Before you say anything, I know you think I'm just playing a game with Malcolm.
But for once, I'm not.
Really.
Mm. So what was...That all about?
We've hung out three times since he said he just wanted us
to be friends, but it's been so weird and fake, because we don't
have friend energy.
We have dirty, sexy, "I want to be your lover" energy.
Okay. Well, if you're both feeling that, then get back to it.
That's the problem.
He's actually fine where we are now.
I'm the one that can't take it.
Like the other day, we were-- no, no, no, no.
Back up?
What did you just admit?
You can't take...What?
Damn it!
I knew you were gonna hear that.
Okay, yes.
I said it.
I like him too much, and I think about him all the time.
I haven't felt this way about a man since Sean.
You're falling in love.
[Laughs]
I am so happy for you.
This is not a happy thing.
And those are your words, not mine.
Oh!
Hey, you two.
Hi, girl.
Keish, I need a huge favor.
Sure. Everything okay?
It will be, if you can do this for me.
I need a serious hookup.
I gotta get Reed into the studio with super tracks, but he's booked solid.
Okay, but aren't you the one that works at a record label?
You'd have more clout than me.
Usually. But when I got super tracks on the phone, he told me
to call back in a couple of months.
I don't have a couple of months, and I know that he would move
mountains for you.
Isn't that the producer that's had a crush on Keisha for like five years?
Keisha, please can you work your magic?
I use my feminine wiles for me.
Why can't you use yours for you?
Please.
I'll think about it.
April, you're really taking this a&r thing with Reed very seriously.
I'm proud of you.
Yeah, well, I have no choice.
I'm putting up my own money.
What?
Why?
They've shelled out all they're gonna shell out at the label.
It's a decision that I've made.
Please, guys, I need support right now... Not criticism.
You owe me... [laughs]
Thank you!
Christina, can I speak with you, please?
What's up?
Have you gotten any of my calls or texts?
Yeah. I got them.
Why?
Well, you haven't responded.
Well, I didn't feel I needed to.
Why would you feel that?
I asked if you wanted to go to the movies or go to dinner.
Doesn't the person you're sleeping with deserve some sort of response?
You're making this out to be more than what it is.
It's just weird now.
It used to be fun.
So now you're just being a bitch.
Okay, this is how it's gonna work from now on.
We are done messing around, so you can stop flipping out.
You're ending it?
Did it ever really begin?
Come over tonight so we can talk about this, please.
There's nothing to talk about.
It was just sex.
You can't just go around toying with people's emotions, Christina.
George, seriously, you're over 30 and I'm only 21.
I don't mean to be mean, but why don't you just do yourself a
favor and grow up?

Ain't that Keisha Greene?
Mm-hmm.
Sorry, boo.
You about five years too late.
I'm that chick they call now.
Oh!
Looks like they're shooting a video.
I might have to stop by and check that out when we're done.
Reed, focus.
[Sighs]
The things we endure for our friends.
Hey, hey!
Oh!
My Keisha.
My future baby mother.
What's up, baby?
Hey.
You see I got my all-time favorite girl on the wall.
And yo, I got a track I just gave Kanye and I can see you in the video.
[Chuckles]
You know I stopped doing videos, but I appreciate the love.
And thank you so much for making time for my girl April.
Any friend of Keisha is a friend of mine.
We spoke a couple of times on the phone, but it's great to meet you in person.
And this is Reed.
Reed!
You used to be with that group NRG, right?
Y'all was hot!
I guess you flying solo now, right?
Yeah, you think you can help me out, man?
I'm trying to go straight to the top.
I got the tracks.
I want to see what you can do with 'em.

[Chuckles]
You are so funny, super tracks.
But I have an appointment.
I'll call you though.
Oh, hold up.
I just did your girl a favor and I can't even get a hug?
Uh-huh.
[Growling]
Ooh.
Okay, okay.
Okay.
Are you sure you don't want to roll up to this mansion party with us?
That guy said he'd get us in.
I don't know him.
Besides, I'm tired.
I'm going home.
And if you want a ride, you better come on.
I'm good.
I'll get a ride.
Mmm.
Ain't never gon' be another one.
Hey, yo, Tina.
You feeling that "e" yet, ma?
'Cause if not, I got some other goodies that'll do the trick.
Yeah, I took both.
And it's Tonya.
It don't matter.
Come on, let's just go.
Excuse me, miss.
Do you need any help?
No, I'm fine.
I'm really fine.
Let me rephrase the question.
Do you know him?
No, but I don't know you either.
Can you excuse us for a second?
I'ma wait in the car for two minutes and I'm out, all right?
[Scoffs] What do you want?
The question is, what do you want?
And I don't think it's that.
How's my life any of your business?
For your information, I'm trying to get my name out there and
you're getting in the way of that.
Oh, I'm sorry for stopping you from getting in a car with
a guy you just met all drugged-up on ecstasy.
Go ahead then.
Get your name out there.
Please.
Like you didn't used to do the same thing.
I know you didn't get in all those videos based on your looks or your dancing.
You weren't all that.
[Chuckles]
Believe me, little girl.
I never played myself like you're about to.
Mm-hmm.
Ooh, I need to sit down.
It's kicking in.
Okay.
Hmm.
Can you give me a ride to the party?
Mmm.
Well, good morning.
You can't be that same impolite girl I met last night.
Thank you for taking care of me.
I really needed that.
I can't believe I missed that party though.
I was trying to meet Akon.
I hope that's not how you usually operate.
What's that supposed to mean?
Calm down. I'm not judging.
I've just been in the game a little longer than you and I've
seen girls like you-- all starstruck and impressed by the mansions, the cars,
and the jewels.
Please.
I'm not impressed by any of that.
My daddy could buy and sell most of these dudes.
Okay, so you're a little rich girl, daddy's little princess.
Hell no.
He wants me to have a cornball life where I get married to some doctor.
That is not me.
I'm trying to blow up.
Of course.
And if partying with these dudes helps me to do that... then so be it.
Okay.
That's definitely a plan.
But after you piss off your daddy and play every guy in town, then what?
Then I got what I want.
Then I'm famous.
So you're famous.
Then what?
Then I get my own reality show.
Okay, so now you're overexposed and infamous.
Then what?
Then I'm walking the red carpet at the Grammys and at movie premieres.
Okay, then what?
Then I don't know.
Damn, why are you asking me all these questions?
Because you should know that the cost of those few moments
in the limelight will rob you of your integrity.
And it may not mean anything to you now, but it will.
But-- look, just go home and think about it.
And speaking of home... Let's get you there.

Tonya, where the hell have you been?
I've been calling you all night.
Don't worry about it.
Obviously I can take care of myself.
Her version of taking care of herself is dropping two ecstasy
pills and getting into a strange man's car.
He didn't need to know all that.
Why you got to come over here starting drama?
How do you two even know each other?
How do you two know each other?
Oh, is this one of your friends?
Tonya, don't let your mouth get you into more trouble, all right?
Look, she's okay.
She's here.
So I'm gonna go.
Actually, I'd like you to stay.
She's gonna go.
Where am I going?
Stay where?
Stay here while I drop her off at our dad's.
I really want to talk to you about something.
I have things to do.
It's something important, Keisha, okay?
I'll be back in 30 minutes.
Please.
Okay.
Let's go.
Don't run.
[Grunting]
Oh!
No fair. You cheated.
How? I knocked you out.
No.
I was distracted by your dumb idea.
Come on, val.
Look, just hear me out.
It turns out being gay is fabulous.
My Twitter is all atwitter.
I have six new Facebook fan pages.
And for every sponsor that's fallen out, I've gotten two more.
I mean, who knew it turns out being gay is the new black?
Okay, well, that's great for you.
But what about me?
Here's how you come in.
We keep this couple thing going for a few more months.
Then after my premiere, after I've gotten good numbers,
you can break up with me.
We just have to time it so it's during sweeps.
So what are you doing in November?
Sharon, you are always trying to convince me to do something crazy.
Just like that night.
Aw, hell no!
That's the story you telling?
If you would have just paid your half of the heating bill,
we wouldn't have had to cuddle to keep warm.
That's all I was doing was cuddling.
You were doing other things.
Yeah, I was sleeping.
Who sleeps naked when they cold?
All the magazines say that is the best way to keep warm.
Besides, you are the one who suggested we do shots.
Look, I was a southern belle steeped in traditional southern values.
You were a New York city girl, living life in the fast lane,
trying different things.
I never stood a chance.
Sharon, look at me and look at you.
Between the two of us, who never stood a chance?
I think obviously the truth never stood a chance.
You were delusional then and you're delusional now.
I am not going to be a part of your hoax.
Just do this for me, val.
I need this.
[Chuckles]
That's what you said that night too.
How would you know what I said if you were so asleep?
Good-bye, Sharon.

Hey, guys, what's going on?
Where's Reed?
April, that is the question.
Where is Reed?
He isn't here?
He texted me an hour ago and said he was.
He lied.
You know what?
Both of y'all wasting my time.
I'm out.
[Cell phone vibrates]
I'm getting a call now.
Wait.
Reed, where the hell are you?
Ma'am, this isn't Reed.
Then who is it?
You know, put Reed on the phone.
This is an emergency.
I'm calling from Atlanta general hospital and your number
was the last one dialed.
Are you a relative?
Yes.
What's going on?
I'm sorry to tell you this, but... Mr. Durham overdosed.
[Sighs]
Thanks for waiting.
So what's so important I had to stay?
Well, first off, I really want to thank you for what you did for my sister...
For stopping her from going with that guy and for whatever you said to her.
You're the only person in a long time to actually knock some
sense into that hard little head of hers.
How'd I do that?
Well, for the first time, she's questioning what to do with her life.
Wow.
I'm glad I could help.
Yeah, I've been-- I've been thinking about a lot of things.
And let me start with why I bought Jasmine's book.
Okay.
It was because of Tonya.
Tonya had got... caught up a few years ago and actually did some porn.
Jasmine wrote about it, so I bought the book to cover it
up, because it would have killed my father or he would have
killed somebody else.
Whoa.
Thank you... For trusting me with that.
I hate what my sister did.
But it was her mistake and I damn sure wasn't gonna let Jasmine make it worse.
Well... since we're being honest... There's something I've been
wanting to tell you for quite some time myself.
I'm listening.
Remember when I told you I did some things I wasn't proud of?
Well, one of those things was stealing your watch off Cam'ron's set.
And I'm sorry I lied about that.
Okay.
I really didn't know it was yours.
But Jasmine said if I didn't take it, she'd write about the
stupid stuff I did years ago.
I couldn't let that happen.
What are you thinking right now?
I'm thinking that I appreciate how real we're being with each other and how
refreshing that is.
That's not the response I was expecting.
I respect you for telling me, okay?
And ordinarily, yeah, it would be a deal breaker.
Listen.
The bottom line is I messed up, okay?
And I miss you.
And I want to be with you.
Wait.
Are you saying-- I'm saying let's do this.
Or at least let's try.
Malcolm, please don't play with my heart, because it's really in this.
Mine is too.
What's wrong, babe?
I just never thought we'd get here.
Bathroom's there.
I'll grab you some blankets.
Yo, could I get a little sympathy?
Sympathy?
What's the one thing I told you not to do?
Waste my money.
And that's exactly what you did.
So sleep it off, I'll give you a ride home in the morning, and we're done.
Yo, you do realize you just picked me up from the hospital?
For partying!
Oh, oh! Poor you!
"I did too many lines.
I popped too many pills all at the same time."
And by the way, you're doing it backwards.
Can you burn out after you've made it?
What do you want from me?
A little damn professionalism and respect... For yourself and me.
Why am I having this conversation?
Good night, Reed.
April, please, can I just say something?
I'm sorry, for real.
How many sorrys?
Say something different for a change.
Now, okay, fine.
You want to know the truth?
You want to know why it's so hard to go in the studio?
You know why I can't finish my album?
You know why I get high?
I'm afraid to fail.
You don't even understand what you have.
You have this beautiful, soulful voice.
And when you sing what's in your heart, you don't have to worry about failure.
Even if people don't like it, you've been true to yourself.
Just be an artist, Reed.
Let me worry about the rest.
What, so we're not done?
Are you still gonna work with me?
[Scoffs]
Here are the rules.
No more drugs, no more flaking on studio time, no more bitching
about the skills you think you don't have.
Just write and sing.
Oh, and one more thing.
You're sleeping on my couch until we finish this album.
So get comfortable.
And according to hospital officials, mother and all six
babies are doing just fine.
On another note, I was hoping it would die down on its own,
but the media circus around the question of my sexuality has
gotten out of hand.
Not since the country waited with bated breath to see if the
Chilean miners would emerge safely has a story so captivated
the American public.
I cannot leave my house without a camera or a mic being shoved in my face.
Jennifer Aniston, I don't know how you do it, girl.
I didn't ask for this situation, and I certainly didn't do
anything to exploit it.
I'm a victim.
But who I feel most sorry for is poor little val Stokes.
Just ask her.
She's defenseless.
That's why I'm here to speak up for the little people and make
privacy a prime topic on my new syndicated talk show that just
got an early pickup, airing Monday through Friday at 4:00.
Yes, Oprah, I got your slot.
Well, val, I guess your girlfriend's gonna keep us in suspense.
She's just playing another angle for the public.
Trying to get more ratings.
Mmm.
I guess you never know what's real.
Whoa.
You may not know what's real with her, but I hope you know what's real with me.
What's that look?
I want to kiss you.
Then I think you should do that.
Did that feel real?
No.
That felt unreal.
Mmm.
[Both chuckling]
Mmm, as much as I hate to leave... I'm gonna shower and go because
I have to get up early.
Are you serious?
You have to get up early?
To do what?
I...Just have a lot of stuff to do tomorrow.
Mm-hmm.
I'm sorry.
[Sighs]
I'm so used to leaving right after.
Oh, that sounds terrible, doesn't it?
What's terrible is that you never had anybody worth staying for.
Now you do.
So you're welcome to shower.
In fact, I'll join you.
But you ain't leaving.
[Scoffs]
April, you asleep?
Ah!
What are you doing?
I was just showing you a little love for the love you showing me.
Okay, Reed.
I am gonna say this one more time.
You're not my type... And this isn't that kind of party, okay?
Let's just pretend this never happened and have a good night's sleep.
See, I was just--I was just feeling appreciative, 'cause-- put it in a song.
All right.
Good morning, beautiful.
Good morning, handsome.
I could get used to this.
That's what I'm hoping.
Mmm.
What?
Don't worry about it.
Tell me.
Mmm.
Oh.
You can't believe I got you doing this, huh?
You like me.
I must like you if I'm sitting here putting butter on your toast.
You know what? You do it.
No, I like it when you do it.
That's 'cause you like me too.
Yeah, I do.
I really do.
Don't kiss nobody else like this, Keisha.
I'm not playing.
Don't butter nobody else's toast, Malcolm.
I'm not playing.
[Giggles]
You like me.
[Laughter]
Yeah.

Hi, ladies!
Welcome to my brunch.
What's up, Malcolm?
Guess my invitation got lost in the mail.
This is my little brother Terrence.
What the hell are you doing here?
I want you back.
I am with someone.
It's Jerry.
Jerry who?
Waters.
Of all the dudes, you picked the owner of my team?
Thank you for standing up for me, babe.
If you had just stayed out of it like I told you to,
this never would have happened.
Next time...Listen.
