In the clip below, Renee scolds her son, Pastor Zeke, for neglecting his family. She suspects he’s been spending too much time with his girlfriend—his (white) secretary, Sarah.

“Excuse me, what’s this I hear about you dating a white woman?” Renee asks, after learning about the relationship, when Sarah publicly revealed it.
“You know social media’s the devil’s work,” Zeke replies.
“Devil being the operative word,” his mother snaps back.
Renee then turns her attention to Papa, who’s present with his ex, her granddaughter Kenya.

“I’ve heard a lot about you,” she says, eyeing him skeptically.
“I swear I never meant to break your granddaughter’s heart,” Papa says.
“Y’all never do,” Renee replies dryly.
She changes the subject, urging Zeke to stay for dinner. He declines, claiming he needs to work on a sermon. Renee, clearly frustrated, compares him to her ex-husband, who also left her for a white woman.
“Oh, that’s why you’re pissed,” Zeke says.
“I’m pissed because you’re out here embarrassing this family,” Renee snaps.
