Survivor’s Remorse Series Finale Recap: Allison Gets Frustrated + Reggie is Conflicted by Deal

Family Ties Recap

Cam isn’t feeling Reggie’s real estate deal with Chen, Allison’s engagement ring causes speculation at work.

Reggie shows Cam the school he, Chen and the others plan to flip.

Cam questions the location, which seems very hood, but Reggie assures him that the deal is a good one.

Meanwhile at work, Allison’s coworkers and patients keep complimenting her on her engagement ring. When one of the male MRI Techs, Mikey C, tells a patient that Cam Calloway got her the ring, the patient asks Allison what he did wrong because it looks like a “I’m sorry” ring.

Mikey says he believes Cam may have slipped up with one of the strippers close-by, and the patient suspects Cam may be having a secret affair with a celebrity.

“This is literally just good, old-fashioned love.” – Allison

The patient then asks Allison if she’s pregnant or being abused, in which Allison gets annoyed and denies both.

Cam is still unsure of the deal and Reggie tells him he’s only lacking confidence in it because he’s been brainwashed to think investing is something black people can’t do.

“And you know the only reason they got most of the money? Because they don’t want guys like us to know the easy ways to make that money.” – Reggie

When Reggie tells Cam that this is his chance to get a lot of money without having to work hard for it, Cam is not impressed.

“Do you know how many idiots said that before they lost a f*ck ton of money?” – Cam

“Cam, you hear more from the idiots than the guys who made a f*ck ton because the guys that made a f*ck ton, they want to keep that sh*t quiet.” – Reggie

Cam eventually admits he feels guilty buying the school because he feels like it’s still a place that kids could benefit from. He suggest they turn the property back into a school and get some local politicians involved.

“How do you think the land got to be for sale? Politicians, Cam!” – Reggie

“There’s some kids who can still use this school, Reg.” – Cam

“Maybe, maybe not.” – Reggie

Cam tells Reggie he needs time to think everything over.

Cassie pays Rodney a visit.

Cassie decides to go to prison to have a conversation with Rodney.

Reggie gets a phone call from Missy while he’s still at the property. She asks how everything went with Cam, and Regge tells her Cam says he needs time to think about everything.

Missy tells him that it doesn’t matter if Cam comes around on the deal or not because they will move forward regardless.

She also expresses her frustration with their future being held up by Cam, considering they only have so much time left for him to make a decision.

When Cassie sees Rodney for the first time in years, they hug.

After Rodney playfully tells her he can sign up for a conjugal visit, Cassie tells him that can’t happen.

Rodney admits that he wishes he was there for Cam, and Cassie tells him she feels the same way.

Cassie tells him that she came to visit him because she’s trying to fully convert to Catholicism, and this seemingly disappoints Rodney.

“I’m just a part of your checklist for your spiritual journey? If I can be to you a good deed done, then I can be that.” – Rodney

“I came because I wanted to see you. I’m sorry for moving on with my life.” – Cassie

“No, I get it.” – Rodney

“No. Just don’t say you get it.” – Cassie

Cassie then tells him she realizes she made some selfish decisions and she asks him if he can forgive her for not allowing Cam to be in his life.

He tells her he forgives her.

After both exchange apologies and forgiveness, Rodney asks Cassie to show him what she’s working with, by getting up to walk to the candy machine.

She sashays to the machine as he watches, even bending down for his pleasure.

“I’ll be thinking about that for a very long time.” – Rodney

Cam puts Reggie in an uncomfortable position.

At the house, Allison and Cam discuss who will be meeting Allison’s parents first in the form of a family engagement dinner, with Allison thinking it’s best just for M Chuck and Cassie to take that step.

M Chuck and Cam think Missy and Reggie should be invited, but Allison says that will force her to invite her cousins, which she’s not ready to do because one is very insufferable.

Cam suggests they have the dinner at his house, but Allison thinks the mansion could be intimidating to her parents.

So they agree on having it at her parents’ house.

Missy meets with her father to receive the money she will use to invest in the school.

He tells her that the point of putting money to the side for her was so she could invest in herself.

“Even if you lose every dime of this money, you will have learned something. One thing being how easy it is to lose your money, two years before it’s supposed to be yours. And the other being something not yet apparent that I imagine you will perhaps one day phone me to allow me to explain. “ – Missy’s dad

Missy tells him he’s talking like he knows the deal will fail but he tells her he’s being difficult because he’s giving her $500,000.

Cassie, M Chuck, and Allison are at her parents’ house for the engagement dinner. Allison’s father notifies them that Cam just shot a three that will take the game into double overtime.

They get into some small talk, with Allison surprising Cassie and M Chuck when she says she plans to keep working despite being married to Cam.

Allison also looks a little bothered when Cassie tells her to be open to Cam possibly being traded in the future to another team because relocation is always a possibility.

After the game, Cam tells Reggie he doesn’t want in on the deal. He thinks it’s a selfish business decision and they should always put the needs of the community and kids first.

He tells Reggie he shouldn’t move forward either because there will be better and more moral opportunities

This leaves Reggie disappointed and conflicted.
