Charles decides to take an acting class to pursue his dream, while Jenae learns to let go as TJ starts day care. It’s baby TJ’s second birthday and Tim and Jenae have planned a big party for the occasion.

With the deadline for the cookbook approaching, Charles feebly attempts to give Miss Robbie a computer tutorial.
OWN’s official description of the show reads as follows:
“When Robbie Montgomery, a 1960’s backup singer and former “Ikette” of the Ike and Tina Turner Revue, suffered a collapsed lung and had to stop singing, she decided to pour her talents into another creative venture — a soul food restaurant called Sweetie Pie’s. At her family-oriented eatery, which she runs with her son, Tim, both hilarity and drama are offered in equal measure. It turns out, at the age of seventy, Miss Robbie’s life in the limelight is not over, as she finds herself still entertaining the masses every day at Sweetie Pie’s! You can always find her on the floor of the restaurant, during the busy lunch rush, cutting up and chatting with the slew of customers who come from all over the world to get a taste of her famous soul food. Her headstrong son, Tim, is her business partner, and together they have two Sweetie Pie’s locations running successfully. For Miss Robbie, however, that is not enough, and now she is working to build her legacy and plans to open a new, even bigger Sweetie Pie’s in downtown St. Louis, where as a little girl, she was not allowed during segregation. She’s come a long way, and this willful woman doesn’t plan on letting anything stand in the way of her dreams to own a building with a huge restaurant and banquet facility.”
