Drums at Dusk

S2 E10: Violet (Tina Lifford) suggests that Ralph Angel (Kofi Siriboe), and Darla (Bianca Lawson) attend pre-marital counseling, but he resists. Darla seconds Violet's suggestion when an unexpected proposition convinces her that Ralph Angel is still punishing her for her past. Meanwhile, Nova's (Rutina Wesley) relationship with Robert Dubois (Alimi Ballard) deepens as she begins to open up. Violet encounters Charley's mother Lorna (Sharon Lawrence) at Charley's office, which gives rise to old issues. Charley's mother later encourages Charley (Dawn-Lyen Gardner) to reach across the color divide following a frustrating meeting at the St. Josephine Sugarcane Society. Finally, Micah (Nicholas L. Ashe) shares his darkest secret with Keke (Tanyell Waivers), and Violet sees a doctor for her recurring symptoms.
