Black Ink Crew Chicago Recap: Jenn & Van Clash + Velvet Plays Cobra

Phor and Charmaine talk Cobra out of quitting the shop.

Cobra comes to the shop and doesn’t speak to Charmaine or Phor. They greet her anyway and she tells them she is packing up her things to leave because no one there likes her.

Charmaine apologizes and tells Cobra that Don set her straight when he went off on them about Cobra suffering from depression.

Cobra says she’s tired of being left out and she needs to feel accepted although she’s different.

When Cobra starts crying, Charmaine and Phor hug her.

Later on, the rest of the group comes to the shop, and Charmaine says she knows Ryan is still communicating with the woman the gossip blogs say could be pregnant by him or Carmelo Anthony.

“Rachel gonna kill him.” – Phor

Krayzie Bone and Bizzy Bone later come by the shop so Krayzie can get some more ink, and Ryan walks in with a cast on his arm. He says he broke his arm at a kids birthday party.

Ryan says someone else will have to do Krayzie’s tattoo and he chooses JR to do the honor.

Phor, Van and the others are salty.

In a green screen interview, Ryan says he’s really stressed out and the arm injury is only making things worse.

“How much more of this will I be able to take?” – Ryan

After JR wraps up, Krayzie says he loves it.

Ashley is still concerned about her pregnancy.

Ashley is feeling really sick and she tells Don she’s worried that her Anemia will force her to need a blood transfusion. She begins crying and Don tells her she will make it through the difficult pregnancy.

In a green screen interview, Don says it was scary having their son because he came out unable to breathe. He doesn’t want to go through that again. But since their son survived, he knows everything will work out, again.

He hugs Ashley.

Later on, Charmaine spends some time with Neak and he says they should take a trip to Cabo.

“I think I can make it happen.” – Charmaine

Kat FaceTimes Danielle to give her an update.

Kat tells Danielle that the rent for her shop has been doubled and she doesn’t want to stay there and spend so much money.

She also tells Danielle that her boyfriend has been getting on her nerves and they have been arguing a lot.

When Danielle asks her if she wants to move back to Chicago, Kat says she’s not sure what her next move is yet.

“I miss all of y’all.” – Kat

For now, Kat says she’s coming to Chicago to spend some time with Danielle to get her mind off things.

Velvet refuses to claim Cobra.

Don, Phor, JR and Van hit the strip club.

Velvet comes out to entertain, and the guys all ask her where her “girlfriend” Cobra is.

She tells them that she and Cobra are “just friends.”

“Well if she likes to eat my p*ssy, then that’s her problem.” – Velvet

She tells them she’s into men, and she asks for Phor to pull out his “d*ck.”

Don thinks this is terrible considering what Cobra is already going through mentally, but they all agree someone needs to tell her how Velvet really feels about her.

Charmaine pitches a trip to Cabo to the group.

She tells them Neak wants to go to Cabo and she thinks all of them should go.

She tells them she found a six bedroom house to rent.

Don says he’s down, and so does Van.

“It’s kind of like a couple’s trip for sure.” – Charmaine

Lily and JR say they can be cordial. Cobra then asks if she can bring Velvet. The guys side eye this but stay quiet.

Lily moves back in with her cousins after her fallout with Cobra.

She tells her family that she’s going to Cabo and she wants to see her baby sisters since she hasn’t seen them in a few years.

“It’s really important for me to see them while I’m in Mexico.” – Lily

Van gets a visit from his PO.

While hanging out with Jenn at the house, his PO stops by. Van has a gun charge on his record.

His PO sees the Hookah cord in the sink and he cuffs him while he checks the remainder of the house.

After he sees that Van doesn’t have anything illegal, he removes the cuffs.

His PO tells Van that he doubts he will be able to go to Cabo and he only has a year to go. This upsets both Jenn and Van.

“It still feels like I’m locked up, pretty much.” – Van

Van and Jenn clash.

At the shop, Don tells the gang that he’s not going to Cabo because Ashley doesn’t want to fly while pregnant and he can’t go without her.

Danielle then says she’s not going either since her boo doesn’t want to go.

Ryan says he plans on going with Rachel.

Neak shows up to the shop and they prepare for their magazine photo shoot.

Jenn comes by and demands to see Van. She questions him about the angry text messages he’s been sending her. Apparently she had a nip slip on SnapChat and he’s furious about it.

She feels like he’s just taking out his anger about not being able to go to Cabo on her.

They start screaming at each other and he calls her a “stupid motherf*cker.”

He’s convinced she did it on purpose but Jenn denies this.

This angers Ryan considering that the photographer shows up but they can’t shoot since Van angrily walks out the shop.

Van finally shows back up after leaving the shop in anger, and the gang is able to get the shoot done.

  1. This whole show is fake. Before his PO said anything I was like he can’t leave the country wtf? VH1 has become faker and faker. Jus like those WETV shows scripted

  2. I feel like all of the men are draining except for Phor and Jr. Don is always breaking sh*t and Ryan with his emotional a*s
