  Greatmomma: On New Year's Eve, not too long ago, my niece Diana decided it was time to grow.
• 0:24
  Greatmomma: She was tired of crowding around on the couch, fighting cousins for space in my cramped little house.
• 0:30
  Greatmomma: We all watched a ball drop on my tiny TV.
• 0:34
  Greatmomma: But whose fault is that?
• 0:36
  Greatmomma: It's the size my son bought me.
• 0:39
  Greatmomma: But I digress.
• 0:41
  Greatmomma: It wasn't that we were all underdressed.
• 0:43
  Greatmomma: Drinking Brut, count down with Ryan Seacrest.
• 0:47
  Greatmomma: This year, she wanted to see a big shift.
• 0:50
  Greatmomma: So her little girlfriend tried to give her a lift.
• 0:53
  Greatmomma: Inviting her to church on New Year's Eve.
• 0:56
  Greatmomma: All Diana had to do was believe.
• 1:02
  Greatmomma: And maybe add to that collection plate 100 odd bucks.
• 1:06
  Greatmomma: At least that's what they told her about changing her luck.
• 1:10
  Greatmomma: Not having a husband, being plagued by her ex.
• 1:13
  Greatmomma: Not getting promoted at work.
• 1:16
  Greatmomma: Diana thought she'd been hexed.
• 1:18
  Diana: It isn't fair.
• 1:19
  Greatmomma: But you have to do this ceremony just as they say.
• 1:22
  Diana: I'm leaving all the bad in 2025.
• 1:24
  Greatmomma: Well, let's just note.
• 1:26
  Greatmomma: Diana ain't known to obey.
• 1:28
  Diana: Yeah, yeah, yeah.
• 1:29
  Diana: Whatever.
• 1:30
  Diana: Let's go.
• 1:45
  Pastor Berniece: God is good, y'all.
• 1:46
  Pastor Berniece: Settle down, everybody.
• 1:51
  Pastor Berniece: Thank you.
• 1:52
  Pastor Berniece: Thank you.
• 1:54
  Pastor Berniece: Thank you.
• 1:55
  Pastor Berniece: For being in the house of the Lord tonight.
• 1:57
  Pastor Berniece: I know you could be out clubbing.
• 2:00
  Pastor Berniece: You could be uh drinking at a house party.
• 2:04
  Pastor Berniece: For some of you men folk out there, even uh shooting up the neighborhood with your uncles old 45.
• 2:12
  Pastor Berniece: But instead, you hear me?
• 2:15
  Pastor Berniece: I said instead.
• 2:17
  Pastor Berniece: You chose to be here at the Church of Overflowing Bounty and Endless Options.
• 2:23
  Diana: Hey man.
• 2:24
  Diana: Well, some of us didn't choose to be here.
• 2:27
  Diana: We were dragged.
• 2:29
  Nichelle: You said you wanted to come.
• 2:31
  Nichelle: Diana, that's great.
• 2:33
  Nichelle: People can hear you.
• 2:34
  Diana: How with all this hooping and hollering, Nichelle?
• 2:36
  Diana: I thought you said this was a progressive church.
• 2:39
  Diana: I did not sign up for all the screaming on New Year's Eve.
• 2:42
  Pastor Berniece: Amen, amen! All right now.
• 2:46
  Pastor Berniece: I know some of y'all getting impatient.
• 2:48
  Pastor Berniece: And when I say some, I'm speaking specifically to the young lady in the all-too casual jeans rolling her eyes in the third row.
• 2:58
  Pastor Berniece: Nichelle, get your friend.
• 3:01
  Diana: Oh my god.
• 3:02
  Diana: Matter of fact, young lady, come on up here.
• 3:05
  Diana: That's it.
• 3:06
  Diana: If you ain't too embarrassed with them acid washed pants, and that top with your titty meat out in the house of God.
• 3:14
  Diana: And bring your slip of paper.
• 3:17
  Diana: And perhaps a jacket to cover up your bosoms.
• 3:20
  Diana: Baby, I said a slip of paper.
• 3:23
  Diana: This is a whole scroll.
• 3:25
  Diana: What is this?
• 3:26
  Diana: Wait, hold on, baby.
• 3:29
  Diana: Only Pastor Berniece holds the mic.
• 3:32
  Diana: Hi, hi everyone.
• 3:35
  Diana: My name is Diana, and I'm a manager at the Hue R U Multicultural Agency.
• 3:40
  Diana: By the way, I should have been a director three years ago.
• 3:43
  Diana: That's right, I've been waiting a long time for a promotion that last week was given to a white woman.
• 3:50
  Parishioner: No, they didn't! Sister, speak yo truth!!!
• 3:53
  Diana: Yes, yes.
• 3:53
  Diana: And despite me giving 10 years, my cute years, to a man who I helped put through dental assistant school, he told me last year that he needed space.
• 4:03
  Diana: Now he is, what are you doing?
• 4:05
  Diana: And "good morning, beautifuling me" to death while all my other friends are married with kids.
• 4:10
  Diana: It isn't fair.
• 4:13
  Pastor Berniece: I understand that, sister.
• 4:14
  Pastor Berniece: But uh, let me get the mic back.
• 4:17
  Pastor Berniece: You know, uh, all things are in God's time.
• 4:22
  Diana: Well, God is definitely taking all of his time, and I'm tired of waiting.
• 4:26
  Diana: So I put all the things I'm sick of in here, and I'm ready to go to the bowl.
• 4:30
  Pastor Berniece: Okay, uh, Diana, is it?
• 4:32
  Pastor Berniece: Yeah, well, sister.
• 4:34
  Pastor Berniece: The way we do it here is one item at a time.
• 4:37
  Pastor Berniece: We want to be fully intentional when we go to the bowl.
• 4:40
  Pastor Berniece: I'm gonna ask you, sis to stand to the side and pick one thing you wanna leave in 2025.
• 4:48
  Pastor Berniece: And while you do that, I'm gonna have everyone else start lining up.
• 4:52
  Pastor Berniece: Come on now, Ushers.
• 4:54
  Pastor Berniece: Help her along now.
• 4:55
  Diana: One thing???
• 4:56
  Diana: I can't pick just one thing.
• 4:57
  Diana: Wait, get your hands off me.
• 5:00
  Pastor Berniece: Ushers, just please help Miss Diana over to the side so she can choose her paper slip.
• 5:05
  Diana: Stop! Okay, no need to shove.
• 5:07
  Diana: Wait, you made me drop some of them.
• 5:10
  Usher: Here, you can use my flashlight.
• 5:12
  Usher: Just get a line when you finish.
• 5:14
  Diana: The line is 100 people deep now.
• 5:16
  Parishioner: The Lord is patient, as should you be.
• 5:20
  Diana: Michelle! Michelle! Hold my space in line!
• 5:23
  Nichelle: I'll try, girl.
• 5:24
  Nichelle: You know, I'm trying to get my blessings too.
• 5:26
  Nichelle: You know that.
• 5:31
  Greatmomma: Now you know how I said Diana doesn't like to mind.
• 5:34
  Greatmomma: Well, she high-tailed it out of there with her fast behind.
• 5:38
  Greatmomma: And in her rush, she left a trail of paper and knocked down the vision boards of all of her neighbors.
• 5:46
  Greatmomma: She even pushed an usher and a deacon as she fled, determined to go through with what she had in her head.
• 5:53
  Greatmomma: She saw what the church had, and it wasn't unique.
• 5:57
  Greatmomma: Just a bowl, some matches and paper, one sheet.
• 6:01
  Greatmomma: She could do all of this and without all the prayer.
• 6:06
  Greatmomma: If it had been me, I wouldn't have dared.
• 6:09
  Greatmomma: But she lit up her fireplace.
• 6:12
  Greatmomma: She wasn't scared.
• 6:17
  Diana: Burning bowl ceremony.
• 6:19
  Diana: There we go.
• 6:23
  Apostle Dee (YouTube Prophet): All right now, if you will, Grand Rising.
• 6:26
  Apostle Dee (YouTube Prophet): Now, you know, if you're watching this video, you're looking to purge yourself of the evils that are holding you back.
• 6:31
  Apostle Dee (YouTube Prophet): I was just like you when I found myself underwater on my mortgage, drinking too much, and then forced to start living with my bald-headed, evil-ass sister.
• 6:40
  Apostle Dee (YouTube Prophet): I was also hundreds and hundreds of points from getting A list status on Southwest despite frequent trips to see a man I later learned was cheating on me with that same evil bald-headed sister.
• 6:50
  Diana: Lord, you are just as mouthy as Pastor Berniece. Let's go...
• 6:56
  Apostle Dee (YouTube Prophet): Why the burning bowl is important and can only be done once a calendar year.
• 7:00
  Apostle Dee (YouTube Prophet): And you have to come at it with a clean spirit and limit yourself to something in your life (fast forwarding) Write down exactly what you want to lift from your spirit.
• 7:13
  Apostle Dee (YouTube Prophet): You got to be exact.
• 7:15
  Apostle Dee (YouTube Prophet): Because not only are other spirits listening, but demons are listening too, honey.
• 7:20
  Diana: Yeah, yeah.
• 7:21
  Apostle Dee (YouTube Prophet): Place a slip of paper in the bowl and watch it burn completely.
• 7:24
  Apostle Dee (YouTube Prophet): One wish per year, and make sure you come at it with clean hands.
• 7:29
  Diana: Yep, just use some Purell not too long ago.
• 7:32
  Diana: Let's go.
• 7:37
  Greatmomma: So as you know, Diana had a laundry list, and she figured she wouldn't waste a chance like this.
• 7:43
  Greatmomma: She had about ten names of folks she wanted to smite.
• 7:46
  Greatmomma: She started with her new boss, her ex, and her father's new wife.
• 7:52
  Greatmomma: She also wrote that she wanted to be free of the meddling members of her family.
• 7:57
  Greatmomma: I didn't see all the names, but I do suppose she might have thrown my name into that burning bowl.
• 8:08
  Diana: By the power invested in me, I commit to this bowl the name of Kelly O'Hagan.
• 8:14
  Diana: You know damn well you didn't deserve that promotion.
• 8:17
  Diana: Bye, bitch.
• 8:18
  Greatmomma: Little did Diana know that somewhere across town, Kelly was at a nightclub getting down.
• 8:31
  Kelly: Yeah.
• 8:32
  Kelly: 2026 is our year, bitches.
• 8:36
  Megan: Congrats on the promotion, Kells.
• 8:39
  Kelly: Thank you, babe.
• 8:40
  Kelly: Let's do a shot.
• 8:42
  Kelly: Congrats, Megan, on your baby.
• 8:45
  Megan: Oh, should I be drinking?
• 8:47
  Friend Group: Shop, shot, shot, shot, shot.
• 8:55
  Greatmomma: Before that Jager bomb made it to their lips, there was a plume of smoke.
• 9:00
  Greatmomma: Then Kelly didn't exist.
• 9:06
  Megan: Oh shit.
• 9:07
  Megan: Somebody turn down the smoke machine.
• 9:09
  Megan: Kelly, you okay?
• 9:11
  Megan: Kelly?
• 9:13
  Megan: Kelly?
• 9:14
  Megan: Kelly, where'd you go?
• 9:17
  Megan: Oh my god, did we just get roofied?
• 9:21
  Megan: Where is she?
• 9:22
  Megan: Oh shit.
• 9:24
  Megan: Someone call security! Kelly?
• 9:27
  Megan: Kelly!
• 9:29
  Greatmomma: And if that wasn't enough of a Thanos blip, Diana was filling out another slip.
• 9:34
  Greatmomma: This one was about her competitive brother, but the phone drew her attention to another.
• 9:47
  Diana: Hello, Aaron.
• 9:48
  Aaron: Hey, beautiful.
• 9:49
  Aaron: What you doing?
• 9:50
  Aaron: Are you out for New Year's?
• 9:52
  Aaron: I went to your mama's house looking for you.
• 9:54
  Diana: Uh, okay.
• 9:55
  Diana: You didn't go to my mama's house when we were together.
• 9:57
  Diana: I hope you didn't embarrass me.
• 9:59
  Aaron: When have I ever embarrassed you?
• 10:01
  Aaron: I just missed you.
• 10:03
  Diana: So why haven't you returned any of my calls?
• 10:05
  Diana: Oh, I get it.
• 10:07
  Diana: You're drunk.
• 10:08
  Aaron: Not drunk.
• 10:09
  Aaron: I'm just in a good mood.
• 10:11
  Aaron: You let me come over.
• 10:13
  Aaron: Won't you?
• 10:15
  Diana: I'm not.
• 10:16
  Aaron: Then why is your car outside?
• 10:20
  Diana: Why are you here?
• 10:21
  Diana: Where's Brandy?
• 10:25
  Aaron: You know the only woman for me is you.
• 10:27
  Aaron: You know that.
• 10:28
  Aaron: You just complain so much.
• 10:31
  Diana: Well, if I'm the only woman for you when you get drunk, I'm not the woman for you.
• 10:35
  Diana: Go home, Aaron.
• 10:36
  Diana: I'm busy.
• 10:37
  Aaron: I drove all the way across town.
• 10:39
  Aaron: I can't come in for one drink to toast the new year.
• 10:43
  Aaron: I'ma leave after that, I promise.
• 10:46
  Diana: You'll leave?
• 10:47
  Diana: Why do you have your go bag?
• 10:49
  Diana: No, sir, not tonight.
• 10:50
  Diana: I'm leaving all the bad in 2025, and that includes you.
• 10:53
  Aaron: I'll put it back in my trunk, okay?
• 10:55
  Aaron: Just one drink.
• 10:57
  Aaron: Please, baby.
• 10:58
  Diana: Immediately no.
• 11:03
  Aaron: I'm gonna sober up on your steps, then.
• 11:04
  Aaron: Now I remember why we didn't work out.
• 11:07
  Aaron: You evil as hell.
• 11:10
  Diana: Am I?
• 11:10
  Diana: Well, let's see about that.
• 11:14
  Greatmomma: Before Aaron could put his butt on the porch, his name had been written and summarily scorched.
• 11:20
  Greatmomma: As the paper caught aflame and disappeared, Diana, for the first time, felt a twinge of fear.
• 11:27
  Greatmomma: She didn't open the door, as that was a whole thing.
• 11:31
  Greatmomma: So she looked on her phone and opened her Ring.
• 11:34
  Greatmomma: There was nobody there as she examined the porch.
• 11:38
  Greatmomma: But there was a big black mark, as if something was torched.
• 11:42
  Greatmomma: She reround and watched Erin vanish from sight, leaving behind the bag he'd brought to stay overnight.
• 11:50
  Diana: Holy shit! Holy shit! Aaron! Aaron! Aaron! Stop it! Where'd you go?
• 12:00
  Diana: Aaron! Aaron!
• 12:03
  Greatmomma: She ran to his car, but there was nobody.
• 12:05
  Greatmomma: When she burned up his name, she had not meant it.
• 12:10
  Greatmomma: And now all that was left of her fickle beau was a duffel full of condoms and a plume of smoke.
• 12:17
  Greatmomma: She ran back into the house and closed the door.
• 12:21
  Greatmomma: You would have thought she'd learned something, but more was in store.
• 12:29
  Diana: Oh my god.
• 12:30
  Diana: A P O S T L E D E E Burning Bowl.
• 12:36
  Diana: Oh my god, oh my God.
• 12:41
  Apostle Dee (YouTube Prophet): And you have to come at it with a clean spirit.
• 12:44
  Apostle Dee (YouTube Prophet): And limit yourself to something in your life you want to leave behind.
• 12:48
  Apostle Dee (YouTube Prophet): A dead-end job.
• 12:50
  Apostle Dee (YouTube Prophet): A bad relationship with your father or whomever else.
• 12:54
  Apostle Dee (YouTube Prophet): Whatever you do, do not put anyone's name in the bowl.
• 13:00
  Diana: Now you tell me, you idiot!
• 13:02
  Apostle Dee (YouTube Prophet): Not only will that person be in mortal danger, the demon will see this as a sacrifice.
• 13:08
  Apostle Dee (YouTube Prophet): It's like opening up a line of credit.
• 13:09
  Apostle Dee (YouTube Prophet): But this ain't no Mastercard. Place the slip of paper in the bowl and watch it burn completely.
• 13:21
  Apostle Dee (YouTube Prophet): One wish per year and make sure you come at it with clean hands.
• 13:26
  Diana: This should have been in the caption!
• 13:26
  Apostle Dee (YouTube Prophet): Whatever you do, do not put anyone's name in the bowl.
• 13:29
  Apostle Dee (YouTube Prophet): Not only will that person be in mortal danger, the demon will see this as a sacrifice. It's like opening up a line of credit but this ain't no Mastercard.
• 13:59
  Dispatcher: 9-1-1.
• 14:00
  Dispatcher: What is your emergency?
• 14:02
  Diana: This is Diana Farmer.
• 14:03
  Diana: I live at 3508 King Drive.
• 14:05
  Diana: There's been an explosion outside my house.
• 14:10
  Diana: Somebody is missing.
• 14:12
  Dispatcher: Ma'am, it's New Year's Eve.
• 14:13
  Dispatcher: There are a lot of explosions.
• 14:15
  Dispatcher: Please hold.
• 14:16
  Diana: Wait, wait, no.
• 14:17
  Diana: His name is Aaron Hodges, and he has vanished completely.
• 14:22
  Diana: You need to get over here now.
• 14:24
  Diana: Hello?
• 14:25
  Diana: Hello?
• 14:31
  Diana: (Knock at door) Hey, Mabel, I'm sorry.
• 14:33
  Diana: Now's not a good time.
• 14:34
  Mabel: You're damn right it's not a good time.
• 14:37
  Mabel: Your shiftless boyfriend is blocking my drive.
• 14:42
  Mabel: I've told you about this shit 100 times.
• 14:47
  Mabel: I'm gonna call the tow truck.
• 14:49
  Diana: Girl, do what you need to do.
• 14:50
  Diana: I'm on the line with the police.
• 14:52
  Diana: Aaron vanished.
• 14:54
  Mabel: Oh, I know that.
• 14:56
  Mabel: I seen him vanish into that young lady's house that lives right up the street.
• 15:01
  Mabel: And once he was in there, I bet he vanished in the more than that.
• 15:06
  Diana: Get out of my house, you miserable ass cow.
• 15:09
  Diana: 911?
• 15:11
  Diana: Is there anyone on the line?
• 15:13
  Mabel: That's a good idea.
• 15:14
  Mabel: I will call 911.
• 15:17
  Mabel: You don't even pay your assessments on time.
• 15:21
  Mabel: Always causing trouble.
• 15:23
  Diana: Mabel, shut up! Just give me a minute to think.
• 15:27
  Mabel: I don't have to give you nothing. I'm going to stay out here u ntil you or he moves this car.
• 15:54
  Mabel: I'm not going nowhere.
• 15:58
  Mabel: (to dispatcher) Hello? Yeah. I need a tow truck to come to 3508 King Drive, immediately!
• 15:59
  Diana: I can't move the car. Aaron really disappeared!
• 15:59
  Mabel: I'm sure he did! Why wouldn't he? I would too if I was dating some selfish, evil heifer who plays her music too loud.
• 16:00
  Mabel: And you got that fireplace going and smoke is everywhere.
• 16:05
  Mabel: That's a fire hazard right there!
• 16:11
  Greatmomma: Now, I know you'll say my niece had gone too far.
• 16:15
  Greatmomma: But she didn't know about Kelly, and she was worried about Erin and the car.
• 16:19
  Greatmomma: But she and Mabel never got on.
• 16:22
  Greatmomma: In fact, her neighbor had been trying her last nerve for ever so long.
• 16:26
  Greatmomma: So before she knew it, Diana had that pen.
• 16:30
  Greatmomma: I don't have to tell you what happened then.
• 16:35
  Mabel: Sick of it was so peaceful till you moved here.
• 16:39
  Mabel: And you never parked your car in the lines.
• 16:42
  Mabel: I ought to have you towed too.
• 16:48
  Diana: Yeah, shut up.
• 16:49
  Diana: Shut up.
• 16:50
  Diana: Back to hell where you belong.
• 16:53
  Diana: That's right.
• 16:54
  Diana: 2026 is gonna be my year.
• 16:56
  Diana: I was feeling bad, but you know what?
• 16:57
  Diana: Demon or not, I told y'all to leave me alone and y'all wouldn't.
• 17:03
  Greatmomma: And while my niece was dealing with that, she heard some gunshots firing out back.
• 17:07
  Greatmomma: Some teenage boys who like to make racket were back there going full metal jacket.
• 17:14
  Kai: 2026! Happy New Year!
• 17:15
  Diana: Oh my god, is someone hurt?
• 17:19
  Wendell: Ayo, auntie, nah.
• 17:21
  Wendell: It's just me and my boys celebrating the new year.
• 17:23
  Wendell: 10 minutes to midnight.
• 17:25
  Diana: It is?
• 17:26
  Diana: Wendell, is that you?
• 17:27
  Diana: I thought I asked you to stop shooting that gun.
• 17:29
  Diana: Last year you hit my car.
• 17:31
  Wendell: Yeah, we ain't nowhere near your car.
• 17:32
  Wendell: Be cool.
• 17:33
  Diana: Wendell, it's been a long night.
• 17:34
  Diana: My nerves are fried.
• 17:35
  Diana: Can you all just take that down the block?
• 17:38
  Wendell: Nah, we really can't.
• 17:39
  Wendell: Girl, my family been out here for 60 years.
• 17:42
  Wendell: You just moved up in here.
• 17:44
  Wendell: Gentrifying.
• 17:45
  Wendell: Just go on to bed.
• 17:46
  Wendell: Isn't it past bedtime for people your age anyway?
• 17:49
  Wendell: Hmm.
• 17:50
  Diana: You know, you a good kid, and I don't want to put any young black man in the path of the police.
• 17:55
  Diana: But just so you know, I'm on hold with 911.
• 17:58
  Wendell: You threatening me?
• 18:00
  Diana: I'm warning you.
• 18:03
  Kai: Oh no, she warning us, twin.
• 18:05
  Wendell: Miss Diana, good night.
• 18:07
  Wendell: Oh, you may want to keep away from the windows in case we miss.
• 18:15
  Diana: You're right, Wendell.
• 18:16
  Diana: It's time to wish you a good night.
• 18:18
  Diana: And yeah, happy new year.
• 18:21
  Diana: Wendell Adams and random assholes he's friends with.
• 18:42
  Kai: Damn, dog, you hit?
• 18:43
  Kai: What happened?
• 18:45
  Kai: Wendell, you good?
• 18:47
  Kai: Oh shit, maybe he saw 12! Let's go.
• 19:05
  Greatmomma: She was losing it more with each name that she pledged.
• 19:08
  Greatmomma: But what she didn't realize or didn't want to know is that there was really dark magic up in that bowl.
• 19:16
  Greatmomma: As the clock turned to midnight, she was running a tab on each name that she'd write.
• 19:22
  Dispatcher: 911, thanks for holding.
• 19:23
  Dispatcher: What is your emergency?
• 19:25
  Diana: Nothing anymore.
• 19:26
  Diana: Happy New Year.
• 19:29
  Greatmomma: She cleaned out the bowl that was filled up with ash.
• 19:32
  Greatmomma: Then she grabbed some champagne and poured up a glass.
• 19:35
  Greatmomma: She was toasting herself and the loss of the blights that until now had been keeping her from her best life.
• 19:44
  Greatmomma: She wanted Nichelle to know that she was made whole by her own approach at the burning bowl.
• 19:50
  Greatmomma: Nichelle heard her friend and thought she sounded undone. She was leaving church and decided to come.
• 19:58
  Greatmomma: She wanted to see if Diana was straight, but little did she know she was sealing her fate.
• 20:15
  Diana: Hello?
• 20:15
  Diana: Hey girl, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, sure.
• 20:18
  Diana: Hold on.
• 20:23
  Nichelle: Hey, sis.
• 20:24
  Nichelle: I'm sorry it's so late.
• 20:26
  Nichelle: I just wanted to check in on you before I head home.
• 20:29
  Nichelle: Oh, it's so quiet and nice.
• 20:32
  Nichelle: Those pookies around the corner ain't shooting?
• 20:34
  Diana: What'd I tell you, burning bowl?
• 20:37
  Nichelle: Yeah, yeah.
• 20:38
  Nichelle: I heard what you said, but I'm trying to understand.
• 20:41
  Nichelle: What does a burning bowl have to do with getting rid of them little YNs back there?
• 20:45
  Diana: I'll put Wendell's name in the bowl.
• 20:48
  Nichelle: And then?
• 20:48
  Diana: He's gone.
• 20:50
  Diana: They're all gone.
• 20:53
  Nichelle: Who's they?
• 20:54
  Diana: Well, Aaron, for one.
• 20:56
  Diana: Take a look there.
• 20:58
  Nichelle: What's that?
• 20:59
  Nichelle: Somebody lit a firecracker on your porch, girl.
• 21:01
  Nichelle: They can get that out with some turpentine.
• 21:04
  Diana: That's not from a firecracker.
• 21:06
  Diana: That's Aaron.
• 21:07
  Diana: I have his bag right here.
• 21:08
  Diana: Gucci slides and everything.
• 21:10
  Nichelle: Oh, he came over here?
• 21:12
  Diana: Yes, for the last time, too.
• 21:13
  Diana: And that over there, see by the bushes under the window.
• 21:16
  Diana: That's where Mabel was.
• 21:18
  Nichelle: Oh my god.
• 21:19
  Nichelle: Girl, all the grass is burnt.
• 21:23
  Nichelle: Yeah, I think those pookies had some fireworks from Indiana.
• 21:27
  Nichelle: Mmm.
• 21:27
  Nichelle: Are you gonna get fined by your association?
• 21:30
  Diana: Who's gonna tell them?
• 21:31
  Diana: Like I said, Mabel is gone.
• 21:34
  Nichelle: Diana, you know I love you, right?
• 21:36
  Nichelle: But this is scaring me.
• 21:39
  Nichelle: Sit down.
• 21:40
  Nichelle: The burning bowl doesn't do this.
• 21:44
  Nichelle: I have done this every year since I turned 21.
• 21:47
  Nichelle: I put things in a bowl.
• 21:49
  Nichelle: Sometimes they work out, sometimes the problem stays.
• 21:52
  Nichelle: It's a mindset thing, girl.
• 21:54
  Nichelle: Clearing your mind, it's not literal.
• 21:57
  Diana: I didn't do it like you did in church.
• 21:59
  Diana: I did it my way and it worked.
• 22:01
  Nichelle: It's not a Twilight Zone episode.
• 22:03
  Nichelle: You can't just wish people away.
• 22:06
  Diana: You can't.
• 22:07
  Diana: How about this?
• 22:14
  Anchor: Tonight at the Starlight Night Club on the city's Northwest side, a celebration is turned into a search.
• 22:20
  Anchor: Friends say that Kelly O'Hagan, a local marketing executive vanished before the stroke of midnight. And now one of the friends is missing. Stacey Gates joins us live at the scene.
• 22:45
  Nichelle: Is that old girl who got the promotion?
• 22:47
  Nichelle: Diana, what is going on?
• 22:50
  Nichelle: Are you a unabomber?
• 22:52
  Diana: I have already told you what happened.
• 22:54
  Diana: Now it's on you if you don't believe me.
• 22:56
  Diana: I'll tell you what, I'm getting real tired and I want to go to sleep.
• 22:59
  Diana: You can stay here on the couch, but it's late, and I can't talk about this anymore.
• 23:03
  Diana: New Year, new me, and I want to leave it in the past.
• 23:06
  Nichelle: You're telling me that three people are missing because you put their names in a bowl.
• 23:11
  Nichelle: And your next move is to go to sleep?
• 23:14
  Nichelle: You need help.
• 23:15
  Diana: Well, if you don't believe me, you don't believe me.
• 23:17
  Diana: What?
• 23:18
  Diana: You want me to show you?
• 23:19
  Diana: No.
• 23:20
  Diana: Because it feels like you need to see it to believe it, girl.
• 23:23
  Diana: The same girl who was up in church doing all them arts and crafts, wishing for a better life, can't understand that I made this shit happen.
• 23:31
  Diana: It sounds to me like you're jealous.
• 23:33
  Nichelle: I sound jealous?
• 23:34
  Nichelle: You sound crazy.
• 23:36
  Diana: Watch it.
• 23:37
  Speaker 6: I'm serious.
• 23:38
  Speaker 6: Yo, like all year you've been complaining and bitching and moaning, and I've tried to be a good friend to you.
• 23:44
  Speaker 6: I have.
• 23:45
  Speaker 6: I've listened even though you barely even ask me how I'm doing.
• 23:48
  Diana: Nichelle...
• 23:49
  Nichelle: No, no.
• 23:50
  Nichelle: So I take you to my church.
• 23:52
  Nichelle: You show up dressed like you're going to the club.
• 23:54
  Nichelle: You embarrass me in front of my pastor.
• 23:56
  Nichelle: You leave early, and I have to get an Uber back on New Year's Eve during surge prices.
• 24:01
  Nichelle: I go out of my way to stop to check on you.
• 24:04
  Nichelle: And all you talking crazy.
• 24:06
  Nichelle: Let me just call a car.
• 24:08
  Diana: Call one.
• 24:09
  Nichelle: And just so you know, let me tell you what I put in the burning bowl.
• 24:15
  Nichelle: Friendships that no longer serve me.
• 24:18
  Nichelle: I came here to check on you, but also to say goodbye.
• 24:22
  Diana: You phony ass bitch.
• 24:24
  Diana: I knew you didn't care about me.
• 24:25
  Diana: I knew you were always just judging me.
• 24:27
  Diana: Well, guess what?
• 24:29
  Nichelle: What?
• 24:29
  Diana: I'm gonna make it easy for you to make good on your little wish.
• 24:32
  Diana: While you over there talking, I was over here writing.
• 24:34
  Diana: It looks like I'm not done just yet.
• 24:37
  Diana: I have one more thing to put in the bowl.
• 24:39
  Nichelle: Don't you write my name on that piece of paper.
• 24:41
  Diana: Too late.
• 24:42
  Diana: And since I'm crazy, you shouldn't be worried.
• 24:45
  Nichelle: You're evil.
• 24:46
  Nichelle: Stop!
• 24:48
  Diana: Let it go.
• 24:49
  Diana: It's done.
• 24:56
  Nichelle: No! No! Well, it looks like I'm still here.
• 25:05
  Nichelle: Time to call an Uber and get away from your toxic ass.
• 25:14
  Diana: Nichelle?
• 25:14
  Diana: Nichelle?
• 25:15
  Diana: Oh no! I didn't mean it, girl.
• 25:18
  Diana: I didn't mean it.
• 25:19
  Diana: I didn't mean it.
• 25:20
  Diana: I'll take it out.
• 25:20
  Diana: I'll take it out.
• 25:22
  Greatmomma: So Diana reached into that bowl in a last dish effort to save Nichelle's soul.
• 25:27
  Greatmomma: But she only succeeded in burning her hand.
• 25:30
  Greatmomma: As she ran to get water, she heard a command.
• 25:33
  Greatmomma: Out of the fiery coals, this voice came.
• 25:36
  Greatmomma: How my niece wished she had not thrown in that last name.
• 25:44
  Burning Bowl Demon: Greetings, Diana, happy new year! But you won't get to experience it, I fear.
• 25:47
  Burning Bowl Demon: Before you go, I want to thank you for the souls.
• 25:51
  Burning Bowl Demon: I've never gotten so many from one burning bowl.
• 25:55
  Burning Bowl Demon: They're all burning in hell, and that's all thanks to you.
• 25:59
  Burning Bowl Demon: But you had to be aware that the price has come due.
• 26:03
  Burning Bowl Demon: You hated your whole life and all that transpired.
• 26:07
  Burning Bowl Demon: Well, now it's your turn to burn the fire.
• 26:26
  Greatmomma: The disaster was blamed on lint in her dryer.
• 26:28
  Greatmomma: Me and the family were wracked with sorrow.
• 26:31
  Greatmomma: We had been hoping to see Di at dinner tomorrow.
• 26:34
  Greatmomma: Now we just wanted to make sure she got put in the ground.
• 26:38
  Greatmomma: But after the investigation, no body was found.
• 26:42
  Greatmomma: Making it more strange, her neighbor had vanished.
• 26:45
  Greatmomma: A young man who lived out back was seemingly banished.
• 26:49
  Greatmomma: And nobody could find her best friend Nichelle.
• 26:52
  Greatmomma: And if this was connected to Kelly, nobody could tell.
• 26:56
  Greatmomma: It was a horrible night, and one we won't ever forget.
• 27:00
  Greatmomma: But one thing I know now, those bowls are legit.
• 27:04
  Greatmomma: So if you ever think to use one to change your fate, find another source of luck before it's too late.
