The crew comes to the conclusion that Richard’s new wife Nikki can’t be trusted.
The episode opens up with Ceaser, Walt and Young Bae discussing Richard’s wedding. Young Bae then changes the topic to Nikki’s son, and Cease and Walter reveal they had no idea she has a son.
Finding out about Nikki’s son in such a way makes them leary about Nikki. They wonder what else she could be hiding.
“Her having that child out of nowhere is proof that there’s a lot more going on.” – Walt
Not too long after the conversation, Sky walks into the shop and reveals that Richard was served court papers after the wedding. Although he and Nikki threw the papers on the ground, Sky picked them up and thinks someone should give them back.
The group decides Walt is the man for the job.
Long distance is becoming difficult for Dutchess and Ceaser.
Dutchess is not happy Ceaser showed up so late to her event to celebrate her latest magazine cover, but he comes through with some flowers. After she tells him that they have been too busy running their individual businesses, Ceaser agrees that they need to make more time for each other. He also wants her to stop going to North Carolina so much.
Walt and Richard clash over his new legal issues.
Walt shows up to Richard’s place and they talk about what’s going on. Turns out, Richard’s baby mama Kathie is the one who is taking him to court and she is requesting full custody of their son Achilles.
Richard claims Kathie is only seeking full custody because she is angry he married Nikki. Kathie wants to move to the Dominican Republic and take their son with her. Richard doesn’t want his son to move.
When Walt gives Richard the court papers, this angers him and Nikki expresses that she feels like no one has Richard’s back.
This causes Walt to go all the way off and make it clear that he has been there for Richard for over ten years.
He urges Richard to go to court and settle this issue with Kathie.
“Handle your business, get this b*tch out of your life so you can live your life the right way!” – Walt to Richard
Sky goes to a therapist and comes to terms with her biggest fear.
Sky still can’t locate her mother and she’s worried since she knows her mother is bipolar and is not taking her medication.
Her therapist urges her to let her mom make her own decisions in life and that’s when Sky reveals that she’s afraid she will turn out just like her mother.
“At the end of the day I love my mother to the death, but my worst fear is ending up like her. Like I don’t want to be 50 something and alone.” -Sky
Sky gets emotional at the thought of never getting married and having kids.
She also admits that she loves to fight and now it’s time for her to “fight less and f*ck more.”
Richard is ready to move forward.
After Walt goes off on him, Richard realizes that he has to do more than drop his nickname when it comes to changing. So he is now ready to face Kathie in court. He’s also proud of himself for not allowing the drama to make him drink or do drugs again.
Donna gets her job back.
Donna shows up to the shop to convince Cease to give her another chance.
Since she shows up with a list of clients who are ready to do business, the rest of the crew backs her. Cease gives in and gives Donna her job back.
Cease and Dutchess fall apart after a mystery woman shows up to the shop.
Dutchess shows up to the 125th shop to do tattoos for her brother and sister, but a mystery woman shows up and insists on seeing her.
When Dutchess comes out to talk to her, she demands that they go outside to talk. This concerns Dutchess’ sister, and when her sister questions who the mystery woman is, the mystery woman fires back by asking if she’s “f*cked” Cease too.
Dutchess goes outside with the woman and the woman tells her Cease impregnated her sister. Her sister got an abortion and she is upset.
“My sister was pregnant by Cease and the baby was aborted. I just wanted to know if you told your man to abort that baby” – Mystery Woman to Dutchess
Cease then comes out to find out what’s going on and when he confronts the woman, she refuses to tell him who she is and who her sister is.
This angers Cease and he has a screaming match with the mystery woman. Dutchess walks off upset and goes back in the shop.
After the mystery woman leaves, Cease goes back into the shop to talk to Dutchess, but she’s too emotional to talk it over. She decides to leave the shop with her siblings, and Cease is upset because he doesn’t understand why Dutchess still doesn’t trust him.
He claims he doesn’t know the woman and she’s lying but it’s clear Dutchess thinks there is some truth to the accusations.
What are your thoughts on the episode?
I think it’s weird that that person refused to tell Cease who she is and who her sister is. Makes me think she’s lying.
I think it’s odd as well. So I’m just going to wait and see if someone pulls out some receipts.
Exactly.
Cease did it. He has cheated on her multiple times.
It’s possible but why didn’t she tell him who her sister is?
I feel bad for Sky. She’s been through so much.
Girl me too. So dang on sad.
Cosign.
I’m trying to understand why Dutchess went outside with a woman she has never seen before. I would have told her to talk to me in the shop or we don’t talk at all.
Mess. Well Dutchess ended up upgrading so maybe it was all for the best.
I don’t know if he cheated or not but I do know their relationship has always been questionable. They had no business even getting engaged. As far as OSh*t is concerned, I just have a feeling his wife is using him. I side eye her especially for leaving her son to run behind OS*t.
They bring Donna back just to fire her again before the season is over.
Can’t stand Dutchess but she deserves better than Ceaser. I believe he did get that girl pregnant. He’s always been trifling.
I don’t know y’all. Something about the way that girl came at Dutchess ain’t sitting well with me. She did seem like a nut.
The whole way the lady approached her was odd. Lets say Dutchess did tell Ceasar to tell the girl to end her pregnancy. Why go to her? Your sis went along with it. The whole things seem fake and the lady seems nuts
all i want to know is who can tell me what brand those black and white heels dutchess had on are and where can i get them
I believe Dutchess knows the girl. Probably a way of getting out of the relationship with Ceasar.
