Tiny and Toya- ep 2- "

This weeks episode starts with Toya having family time with her mother Nita and brother Walter. The normalcy and routine of something as simple as her mother making breakfast  for the family makes her happy. Toya has also come to an understanding with her brother Walter and he's opened up and their relationship seems to be on the right track.

Next stop is Tiny's house where she has happily given Toya the ok to have Walter come over and record a song called "Moonwalk". Walter is a lot like Fantasia's brother- everybody wants to be a rapper or singer (side-eye). Tiny thinks of Toya as a little sis and wants to do whatever she can to help her - they're family.

Walter records the song and it's actually not bad- at least the little chorus that he rapped. Tiny thinks the track is a hit and is really happy to see Toya so settled and just content with her family and helping her brother achieve his dreams. Everybody is dancing  or "moonwalking" to the song. And no - it's not Michael Jackson's moonwalk- something completely different.

Meanwhile Tiny and Tamar, one of her closest friends and Toni Braxton's sister, go over to Tiny's parents house to see her dad. Tiny's mother talks about how she and her husband got into a car accident a few years back and after the accident Tiny's father wasn't the same. They think that the accident brought on his Alzheimer's. Tamar tells Tiny that maybe she can use some counseling to talk about how's she's feeling about all the stuff going on in her life: TI going to jail and now her dad being sick. Tiny seems like she internalizes things and to talk about everything would make it more real and painful so she is not really into the idea.

Toya and her mom go to the rehab facility to meet the director of the program. This is the same facility that Keisha Cole's mom Frankie spoke at. Toya is hopeful that her mother is gonna change for good this time around.

Toya, her mom and Tiny's mom go and get massages. Tiny sits and waits with her dad and they have some time alone. It's really sweet the relationship that Tiny has with her father. Music is their connection and they sing a little song quietly to each other while waiting for the ladies to finish getting pampered. It was really a special moment for Tiny because she doesn't have that closeness with her father very often.

These girls are almost "boring" they're so normal. Close your eyes and pretend that they don't have the crazy accents and you have two girls just dealing with family stuff.

If people aren't behaving badly or causing some sort of drama the reality is things can get a little dull.

See ya next week.
