Good Trouble

I know what I want, and I want you.

I want someone who doesn't need to take weeks

to figure out if they wanna be with me.

Who is that guy?

Joaquin. He is our newest Coterie member.

Do you always answer a question by asking another question?

What do you think of the new guy?

I think he's a dick.

This is Stef and Lena.

-Hi, Ka'Maya. -Hi there.

I killed Zack.

I didn't mean to but I killed him.

If you don't help Kathleen,

I'll send this to Zack's family.

He'll be branded a murderer.

Kinda seems like the universe keeps pushing us together.

I've been thinking

like of this is as good as it gets.

Maybe it's not.

I need to make some big life changes.

Ka'Maya, are you hungry?

Ooh, how about some peanut butter and apples?

Yum, great idea.

You know, that was Mariana's favorite when she was little.

Oh, you know what? She doesn't like peanut butter.

What? Since when?

Uh, well, it's been a while. Right?

It makes my tongue sticky.

She does like the sunflower seed butter, if you have that.

I know it's really kind of specific.

Uh, let me see.

Looks like you're in luck,

although I don't know how long it's been in here.

Just check the date.

It's on the bottom.

Uh, Moms, this is Joaquin. He just moved in.

Hi, very nice to meet you.

Hi, nice to meet you. I'm Stef. This is Lena.

And Ka'Maya is our foster sister.

Where are you guys visiting from?

San Diego.

Oh, it's really nice down there.

You just up here to visit?

So how do you think this is going to go down?

Like a lead balloon.

Which is why I'm glad we're dropping the news as a family.

What's a lead balloon?

You know what, it is a very, very, very heavy balloon...

filled with bad news.

It's not bad news.

Yeah, we are just visiting.

Haven't seen the girls in a while

and had no plans for the weekend, so...

We were supposed to go to Disneyland.

I know, but we can go to Disneyland...

...whenever we want to.

And Mama had a... She had a free weekend.

Apparently not.

There's an important vote on the floor today.

I've got to take this.

So much for a rare weekend.

It seems like I wasn't the only one

who had other plans this weekend.

I wonder what the sudden visit is all about.

I think it's great. We hardly see them.

I know, but I wasn't up for a last-minute surprise.

I have a lot to do this weekend.

Hey! Oh, I'm so happy

that you came up this weekend.

What a nice surprise.

-Hi. -Hi.

So do you guys get up here much to visit or...

Um, we've been up here a couple of times

since the girls moved in here.

Nice. When was that?

Uh, about 11 months ago now.

Hey.

-Hey, Dennis. -This is a nice surprise.

Yes, a last-minute one.

-Good to see you, Dennis. -Good to see you too.

-How you've been? -Um, this is Ka'Maya.

And, uh, Moms, have you met Isabella?

-No. -No.

We haven't. Nice to meet you.

Thank you. Um, you too.

Uh, I thought that you had moved out.

-I, um, I-- -She's back.

Oh.

And yes, she's pregnant.

-Mm-hmm. -Congratulations!

Yes. Congratulations to the both of you.

Oh, no, no, no. He's not the father.

He is.

Oh! Gael's the father.

Hey! Nice to see you guys again.

Great to see you again.

Um, so where do we wanna go for dinner tonight?

Oh, there's a really cute kids' friendly pizza place around the corner.

Uh, well, we thought that it might be fun

to have a-- a grownup dinner.

Oh, um, I'd be happy to watch Ka'Maya

while you guys go out.

I used to do princess parties,

so I'm really good at entertaining kids.

-I want a princess party. -You do?

Oh, thank you. That would be really great.

-Thank you. -That's okay.

What?

Well, we've never left her before.

You leave her when you go to Sacramento all the time.

-What are you talking about? -With you.

Well, I just-- I thought we were gonna have a grownup dinner

with a grownup conversation tonight maybe.

Well, if you want to stay in,

we were gonna cook dinner tonight.

Oh, is this like one of those family dinners

I keep hearing so much about?

We're having a family dinner?

Oh, my God! Hi!

It's so lovely to see you guys.

Hey! I thought I heard y'all.

We're having a family dinner!

Uh, well...

And you must be Ka'Maya.

I have heard so much about you.

All right, so it's settled then.

Yes. We can have a grownup conversation afterwards.

I'll help make something.

Um, yeah. Yeah, sounds good. Why not?

I will just let Jude know that we're staying in.

Great.

Hey, why are you buried in your phone, sir?

It's a party. Come on!

I think Carter and I might be in a fight.

Great! I just asked if we could talk later,

and he texted, "Sure."

-Oh, no. -What's wrong with that?

What does that mean?

Like, "Sure, whatever,"

or "Sure, looking forward to it"?

Long-distance relationships suck.

More wine?

-Yes, please. -All right.

Hey, how's Ka'Maya doing?

Passed out.

-Here, let me get you a glass. -Thank you.

So what is this grownup conversation all about?

Ken Sung convinced his sister

to give the FBI enough information

to put her husband away,

and in return, the FBI agreed to drop

any investigations into my old books.

Congratulations.

Well, I owe it all to you.

The question is

how did you get Ken Sung to change his mind?

I appealed to his conscience.

Hmm. Wow, I'm impressed.

I might turn you into a mini-me after all.

So what is our next case?

I'm thinking a wrongful conviction

might be interesting.

Well, looks like I made it just in time for dinner.

I'm kidding.

Um, these are my moms, Stef and Lena.

This is Kathleen.

-Oh. -Oh.

Uh, we've heard a lot about you.

Hmm. None of it good, I assume.

-Hi, Mariana. -Hi.

I believe that these belong to you.

-I washed them. -Thank you.

I am sorry to drop by unannounced,

but I was in the neighborhood.

Not at all. Um... Why don't we go into my loft?

Oh, Ka'Maya is sleeping in there.

Uh, okay.

Uh, Malika, can we, um, talk in your loft?

Yeah, of course.

Well, it was nice to meet you.

You did a great job with both your daughters.

-Thanks. -Thank you.

I wonder what that's all about.

Does it need more tarragon? Is that enough?

I don't think so.

-Oh, excuse me. -Excuse me.

Are you okay with us?

Do me a favor.

-Stop asking me if we're okay. -Okay.

And listen, if you wanna invite Matt over for dinner, I'm cool.

He's a really nice guy.

No. Yeah, I mean, uh,

he already had plans tonight, so...

Thank you.

Can I talk to you in my loft?

Hey. What's wrong?

-Matt dumped me. -What? Why?

He said he wanted someone who didn't take weeks

to figure out that they wanted him.

Also, he thinks I'm still in love with Dennis.
