EPISODE 8 – “RAY J’S RECKONING & NATALIE’S ESCAPE FROM ZEUS”

By Antoinette Johnson

INT. SECRET HEALING LOFT – NIGHT

The loft looks like a mix between Wakanda, a prayer circle, and a music video set from 2003.
Chakras lit. Candles glowing. Red snapper in the air.

ANT is sitting on a throne made of sage bundles, rose quartz, and old BET award trophies.

ANT:
Tonight… we heal the wild ones.
The chaotic.
The clout-chasers.
The emotionally constipated.
Ray J… come forth.

ENTER: RAY J

Ray J walks in with sunglasses on, holding a broken pair of Raycon earbuds and a Bible he got from a hotel.

RAY J:
I just wanna know…
Can I be saved if I dropped the scooty bike line and lied on Kim and still made “One Wish”?

ANT (stern but loving):
Raymond J…
You ain’t here for clout.
You’re here to break the generational reality-TV spell.

FLASHBACK VISION:
A vision plays in the air like a hologram—Ray J in every reality show since 2005.
Dating. Fighting. Singing. Scooty biking. Meme-ing.

CARDI B (off to the side):
Daaaamn, you BEEN booked and broken!

SFX: THE WALL SHAKES – NATALIE NUNN APPEARS

NATALIE (yelling):
Y’all talking about healing?!
I been the HBIC since Bad Girls Club — and Zeus still ain’t gave me no real equity!

ANT (calm):
That’s because you signed a clout bond… not a contract.
But don’t worry…
I brought you something from the Ancestors…

**Ant lifts a shimmering “Healing Scarf of Divine Protection” — stitched with oils, obsidian beads, and scriptures from all faiths.

ANT:
Put this on… and no demon, producer, or gaslighting CEO can touch your crown.

NATALIE:
Even Lemuel?

ANT:
Especially Lemuel.

DRAMATIC PAUSE… THEN: RAY J HAS A BREAKTHROUGH

RAY J (tearing up):
I been wilding ‘cause I thought chaos = relevancy…
But maybe I’m enough… even when I’m not trending?

CARDI B:
That’s the healing talking, baby.
Now go light a candle, drink some chlorophyll, and call your higher self back.

SFX: SKY OPENS – CELESTIAL LIGHT BEAMS DOWN

ENTER: ERYKAH BADU & MISSY ELLIOTT IN A LOWRIDER CLOUD

ERYKAH:
Y’all done called in the big witches, huh?

MISSY:
I got a sound bath and a spell that clears out fake friends and finesse-filled contracts.

NATALIE (bowing):
Teach me how to boss UP without selling OUT.

ERYKAH:
Step one: remove the lace front of lies.
Step two: sage your soul.
Step three: mind your mission, not your mentions.

CLOSING SCENE – “THE SACRED TRAP CIRCLE”

Ant, Ray J, Natalie, Erykah, Missy, and Cardi B sit in a circle under the stars.

They chant together:

> “We break the clout curse,
We reclaim our worth,
No more staged beef,
Just healing and rebirth!”

SFX: A BOLT OF LIGHTNING STRIKES ZEUS NETWORK HQ — THE LIGHTS FLICKER.

CUT TO: LEMUEL (CEO of Zeus) backstage, trying to sign a new soul. He sneezes. HARD.

LEMUEL:
Did someone sage my name?!
