It was the Queen Sugar season finale as Nova and Calvin had their first real date, Charley resorted to blackmail and manipulation to get what she wanted, and Ralph Angel got the shock of his life on “Give Us This Day.”
Our TV Fanatics, Jasmine Blu, Lee Jutton, and Christine Orlando, are here to debate the farm’s future, Ralph Angel’s choices, Nova and Calvin’s disastrous date night and what their favorite scenes from Queen Sugar Season 1 Episode 13.
Should Ernest have given the farm to Ralph Angel over his siblings?
Jasmine: You know what? I can understand why he did it. As he said, Ralph Angel needed it the most. he has been the one who prioritizes the farm over everything. It never was a burden or anything like that to him, like it was at times for his sisters.
Plus, it was like giving him one last lesson to learn posthumously.

Hollywood Exiles in Europe is a screening series co-curated by author Rebecca Prime and the UCLA Film and Television Archive.
Following a recent presentation of Christ in Concrete (1949) at the Hammer Museum's Billy Wilder Theater, Norma Barzman, wife of the film's late screenwriter Ben Barzman, stated “it was the hope of her husband as well as director Edward Dmytryk that Christ in Concrete would at least explain the motivations of the Hollywood Ten and at best absolve them.”
Production for the film took placed in London during Dmytryk and Barzman's self-imposed exile in Europe following their blacklisting by the United States Congress's House Un-American Activities Committee. When Christ in Concrete (later re-titled Give Us This Day and eventually Salt to the Devil) arrived in American theaters it did so quietly, playing to regional crowds in New York before its hasty exit into a relative obscurity—at least as far as domestic audiences were concerned.
