Charmaine tries to get her job back.

She goes to her former job to speak to Johnny and offers him a bottle of champagne. He turns down the bottle and tells her that she’s trespassing.

Johnny says Charmaine embarrassed him by showing up so late to the event and she could have cost him a lot of money. He reiterates that she’s fired and she needs to turn back in everything she was given when she was first employed.

“The next time you come in here, you’re going to be leaving out with handcuffs.” – Johnny

She tells him she never really goes out like that, and he’s put her through much worse in the past.

They begin yelling at each other.

In a green screen interview, Danielle refuses to talk about what happened between Ryan and Kat and says whatever happened is between them.

JR and Lily hit it off.

He explains the woman is just a client but Lily is still feeling some kind of way about it.

JR asks what’s going on with her and she starts crying. She accuses him of sucking on a woman’s t*ts, and he realizes she’s really drunk and confused at this point. She then begins going off on JR and trying to walk away from him.

“I’m going to walk away. You’re a hoe a-s dude.”

Her erratic behavior concerns Ryan and he tells JR to stop sleeping with Lily because he can’t date a coworker.

Lily keep drinking and gets sick in her own cup. The group sees this.

JR is by her side throughout all of this but she tells him to stay away from her. He thinks her reaction to his picture with a client is way too much and that it has to be something deeper going on with her.

He tries to follow her out the party to talk but she’s not hearing it and yells for him to leave her alone.

  1. It’s a shame that Ryan is acting like he’s not in a relationship but I thought Kat was in a relationship as well?

    1. I’m saying tho! It makes you wonder what kind of diseases they got floating around that shop. Just nasty!

  2. I don’t know if this show is scripted or not, but it’s disrespectful for Ryan to be messing around with Kat like he doesn’t have a woman and child at home.

  3. What gets me is the fact Ryan has KATRINA name tattooed across his neck- they obviously been in a real relationship behind the scenes. Also if you pay close attention to previous season when Kay was dating Phor- Ryan was acting real jealous !! Definitely showed his real feelings in my opinion

  5. Those two been screwing around…acting like they just best friends…the chemistry is there…silly me was wondering wtf Ryan had in his life whose name is also (Katrina) Kat is a slut and Ryan is no good……cause he swear he’s so above the bs of hoe-ing around and he isn’t

  6. Ryan is on Twitter trying to pretend like this was just a storyline but how is it if you don’t even want to talk about it on camera dude? I feel bad for Rachel.
