He questions why she had a change of heart.
“Your consistency is terrible when it comes to Kinleigh.” – Whitney
Don tells her he’s always been consistent and Whitney says he doesn’t tell her enough how good of a job she’s doing as a single mother.
This angers Don because he says he’s always giving her props.
Whitney then points out that she thinks it’s messed up that he could afford to buy a new car when he wouldn’t help her out financially when she asked for it.
“Okay, there we go. So now we have it. It ain’t about me being inconsistent. This is about Whitney being mad because I got a new car.” – Don
After their arguing upsets their daughter, he decides to leave to prevent things from getting out of hand.

Charmaine tells him that she would not have made a decision like that without talking to him first but Neek says that he’s not about to stay in Chicago when he can go “get that bread.”

“What was Kat doing in the shop? She ain’t working here.” – Ryan

Charmaine tells all partiers that she has an announcement and proposes to Neek.
Neek tells her to get off her knees and that it’s just not a good time for them to get engaged. Kat and Danielle decide to save Chamrina from further embarrassment and tell Neek and everyone else at the party that Charmaine was just joking.
