What I got right here was a lesson in how to hurt them.
Its all about the money.
They aint nearly as much cruel as they are greedy…

This is our weapon.
This is how we hurt them.
And that is Catos most powerful weapon… but its not a perfect weapon.
That hell show them whos really boss when they see his men and realize theyve made a huge mistake.
That his pre-shootout speech is as cool as it sounds.
Then so goes his whiteface, his power through money.
His hired help that he flaunted in Noahs face last week?
Theyre quickly bested by the more desperate Patty and August.
All we know now is that Patty Cannon is moving in.
So things dont look great.
Ive lived with one most of my life.
Theres nothing easy about this secret.
Shes sick of hiding, and she calls the captors bluff on branding her like a slave.
On the other, Rosalee doesnt tell him about the pregnancy.
Going back to Macon is the last thing Noah wants to do, but of course hell do it.
Noahs all in on this.
In fact, she talks back to her shamers before storming off: This aint about me speaking.
Yall dont really want that.
Cause then half of yall standing here would have to admit to taking the devils blood.
This aint even about what I done.
Its about shaming others so they dont do anything you dont want them to.
This here aint family.
What follows is a tale as old as time about men, women, abuse, and manipulation.
Like Angela Bassett did for young Ernestine, Ernestine becomes Claras mentor.
Ernestine: All men feel like nobody listen to them.
Thats where you start…
Shut your mouth and listen.
Thats how you find out what he love.
Then you let him teach you bout it.
you got to find something real in the lie.
Its only believable theres a part of you in it.
Yup, hes that much of a cliche.
So its all settled now.
For now, at least.
Ernestine is fighting back again, though its still a sad version of fighting.
The question is, however: Where is everyone going to end up?
