'P-Valley' Episode 7 Preview: Bonus clip sees Mercedes, Uncle Clifford and girls ready for Pynk’s final night

In the bonus clip, we see Mercedes confronting Uncle Clifford about bailing out Patrice Woodbine but also agreeing to dance at Pynk's final night

It has been an excruciating week waiting for Episode 7 'Last Call for Alcohol'. But 'P-Valley' gave fans a taste of what is to come on Sunday, August 30, by not only uploading the trailer for the episode but also tweeting a bonus clip featuring a pep talk Mercedes gives Uncle Clifford.

In the clip, we see Uncle Clifford reduced to tears as she contemplates the end of Pynk. This is when Mercedes shows her some tough love, reminding her of "Uncle Clifford's Rule No. 24.5". Between sniffles, Uncle Clifford helps herself to a tissue, before replying, "there is no cryin' at the Pynk". Mercedes then tells her that "what is done is done" but the question is what she is going to do next.

The words are exactly what Uncle Clifford needs to hear because we see her squaring her shoulders to declare another of her rules that Mercedes recites with her -- "Even if there be no money rainin', dance like tonight's your last night." 

But when Uncle Clifford asks her to take the stage one last time for Pynk's final night, Mercedes rebels and brings up Uncle Clifford bailing out "Pastor Patrice Woodbine" -- which must have come as a complete betrayal.

But Uncle Clifford says she cannot abandon her family in a moment like this, showing her the CCTV feed from the green room of the girls huddled together. And then she puts in a personal plea: "Don't make me bury the Pynk without my bottom b***h". So we will be seeing Mercedes at the Pynk on its final night. 

The trailer for the episode features snippets of this bonus clip but also teases other developments. We see shots of Mercedes in a sexy white outfit for her "last dance". When Keyshawn questions whether it is really going to be her last dance, she replies, "it's going to be everybody's last dance". 

The promo trailer also heavily foreshadows that Autumn's cute Barbie pink gun will go off in episode 7. We see Autumn shutting the door of the locker where the gun is kept right after she and Mercedes conclude the "last drop" of cash transactions between them. Then, we also have Uncle Clifford's voiceover saying, "Lord, we ask that you bless the Pynk tonight as we go out with One Last Bang". Her words are overlayed with images of the overcrowded, parking mayhem outside the Pynk as people come streaming in with their cars to what will be the event of the century in a town like Chucalissa.  

We also see the various "entanglements" that have been building all season hit their peak -- there are steamy scenes featuring Diamond with Keyshawn and Autumn with Andre. There is also a couple getting it on in a steamed-up car, Titanic-style, which could be Uncle Clifford and Lil' Murda -- will Lil' Murda's entourage finally wake up to the love story blooming under their noses? 

But the trailer has an ominous ending as we see Autumn's abusive stalker and ex, Montavius, creep up on her from behind as he says, "I been looking for you." Autumn looks sketched out but she doesn't look like she is losing her nerve. Autumn usually knows how to play her cards right as long as she isn't having a PTSD episode, so hopefully, she can wriggle out of the situation without murdering anyone or have someone murder for her, like Andre or new bestie, Mercedes.

'P-Valley' Episode 7 will air on August 30 at 8 PM ET on Starz.
