Marie's mother, Sophia (Reagan Foxx), is constantly meddling in her life. Marie keeps her mother at a distance when she's going through an uncertain time; Sophia always uses Marie's distress as a means to manipulate her daughter. Marie hasn't been answering Sophia's phone calls and so Sophia has a new plan to get in touch with Marie. Sophia visits Marie's assistant's home, a handsome young man named Cody (Jason Pierce). Cody is a good, married man, but Sophia knows all the right buttons to push to get what she wants from him. "You need a woman to mother you," Sophia purrs. Jason melts in Sophia's gaze, and she knows she can get to Marie with Jason's help.
