‘Black Ink Crew Chicago’ Recap: Rachel Tries to Jump Kat + JR Attacks Lily’s Other Boo

Van gets a recap of the messy Cabo trip.

The gang returns from Cabo and they decide to decorate the shop with some Cabo flair so Van will get to experience it in some capacity.

Van was not able to go on the trip due to being on probation.

When Van gets to the shop, the group greets him with plenty of excitement and he cracks a smile.

“We in Chi-Cabo!” – Charmaine

“What the f*ck is wrong with y’all, man?” – Van

“We missed our big brother.” – Phor

“Y’all had that much fun?” – Van

“You didn’t make it to Cabo, so we had to bring Cabo to you.” – Charmaine

Van gets a recap of the Cabo trip, and Van says it wasn’t a good idea for Danielle to bring Kat along considering what went down with her and Ryan at the lake house…especially with Rachel there.

Charmaine tells Van that Kat did end up telling Rachel about the incident.

“What the f*ck? Are you serious?!” – Van

Van pretends to pass out and falls on the floor. Everyone laughs.

They then tell Van that after Kat came clean, Ryan and Rachel went off on the producers.

Don says he feel like Ryan overdid it with his reaction.

“He always overdoes it when he flips out.” – Charmaine

When the group jokes that Rachel was so heated that Ryan may have never made it out of Cabo, they quickly realize Lily doesn’t find the jokes funny.

“He may still be in Cabo.” – Phor

“Yeah, she fed him to the cartel.” – Charmaine

“Bad joke, bad joke.” – Don

“That’s not funny.” – Charmaine

Ashley confronts Don.

Back at the house, Ashley is cold towards Don when she returns to their home. She calls him out for not answering the phone when she called him to tell him the baby was not moving.

“You should have had that phone on your hip. I was nervous because the baby wasn’t moving!” – Ashley

She explains that she got scared when the baby stopped moving, but her mom took her to the doctor and everything is ok.

He calls her out for texting him that she was going to her mom’s house, but not texting him the full story.

“Don, I get that. But when I call you, answer your phone.”- Ashley

“It’s not like I did that sh*t on purpose. I would never just blatantly ignore you.” – Don

Ashley tells him that he needs to do better and he questions what she means by that.

“Do better.” – Ashley

“Do better with your communication, too.” – Don

After Ashley walks off upset, Don goes to her and apologizes.

She accepts his apology and they decide to make up physically, too.

Ryan updates his parents.

Ryan gets a bite to eat with is parents and tells them he’s not on good terms with Rachel.

He’s been sleeping on the couch and Rachel is still upset about what happened in Cabo.

He admits he messed around with Kat before he got back together with Rachel.

“I didn’t know that.” – Ryan’s mom

He explains that Rachel asked him if he ever messed around with Kat and he lied and said he didn’t because, “That had no value in my life.”

He says that he kissed Kat in the lake house.

“One kiss?” – Ryan’s mom

“Yeah.” – Ryan

Ryan says he didn’t tell Rachel what happened at the lake house because he didn’t want to hurt her. However, Kat came clean in Cabo.

Ryan feels like Kat was just trying to break up him and Rachel.

In a green screen interview, he says it was just a “drunken mistake.”

He tells his parents that he wants Rachel back because he loves her.

“Honestly, I don’t know if I can get her back. I f*cked up.” – Ryan

JR and Lily are in a dysfunctional place.

They aren’t together romantically anymore, but they still sleep together.

Van tells them they should get matching tattoos to symbolize their dysfunction. They agree and this surprises Van, who was just joking.

They agree to get heart finger tattoos.

In a green screen interview, JR says that Lily is crazy but he still has deep feelings for her.

Lily is thankful that JR had her back in Cabo when she attempted to see her little sisters.

“At the end of the day, we may not be together, but we still have each other’s backs.” – JR

They hug it out and agree to be friends.

Nikki moves into Phor’s place.

Phor loves Nikki and he’s forgiven her for blowing up at him in Cabo.

Charmaine and Van come by to help them celebrate.

“We finally moving in together!” – Nikki

Phor tells Van he’s a little nervous about living with Nikki. Van tells Phor he better be ready to see hair and wigs all over the place.

Kat vents to Van.

Kat returns to Chicago and talks to Van about what happened with Ryan and Rachel.

She tells him that she had one too many drinks at the lake house and ended up in the shower with Ryan.

She says Ryan then texted her and told her he had strong feelings for her and she decided not to respond. However, she felt the need to come clean to Rachel in Cabo.

“If it was me, I would want to know.” – Kat

Kat feels like Ryan treated her like a dog and he looked at her with pure hate.

Van is upset about this and says Ryan needs to come clean about what happened.

“The truth hurts, but lies kill.” – Kat

Charmaine meets with her new manager and gets some good news.

Now that she’s back on the radio, Charmaine hired a new manager, Deanna, to help with her career.

She calls Charmaine and tells her she’s at her building to talk. Charmaine is nervous about what Deanna wants to discuss.

Deanna tells Charmaine that a director wants her to appear in a movie, “Mollywood.” The movie is being filmed in Chicago and Waka Flocka is starring in it.

“You don’t even have to audition. They want you personally on set.” – Deanna

Deanna warns Charmaine to take the role seriously and be professional.

Rachel is still being icy towards Ryan.

They meet at a restaurant to talk about things.

She tells him that he told her he changed, but it doesn’t appear that he has.

“It shouldn’t have happened. I’m sorry I even put you in this position.” – Ryan

Rachel says she feels like she’s back at square one with Ryan and she’s not sure she can ever trust him again.

Ryan tries to touch her hand and she pulls it away.

Later on at the shop, Charmaine and Danielle tell Van that Rachel and her cousin came by the shop the other night looking for Kat.

In a flashback scene, Rachel’s cousin can be heard saying she wants to beat up Kat.

In a green screen interview, Van is confused about why Rachel is going after Kat but not Ryan.

“Rachel is going after the wrong person. She needs to be going after Ryan’s a*s.” – Van

Danielle says the whole situation is messed up and Ryan hasn’t been to the shop since the Cabo trip.

Van suggests they throw a birthday party for Kat to make her feel loved amid all the drama.

Lily is back in touch with Plug.

Lily has moved back into Cobra’s place since they are back on good terms. She invites Plug over for dinner and admits they are hooking up again.

She doesn’t think it’s an issue and plans to keep doing what she wants.

She invites Plug to Kat’s party at the shop although she’s still hooking up with JR as well.

Lily’s drama with JR and Plug ruins Kat’s party.

When Kat walks in with Danielle, she is shocked to see everyone there (except Ryan). They assure her that 9Mag will always be her home and she’s thankful for the support system.

Plug walks in and Lily introduces him to the group.

JR thinks it’s odd that Lily hasn’t introduced Plug to him, and he figures out it’s the guy she cheated on him wth.

“To say I’m pissed is an understatement.” – JR

JR gets drunk and a bit disrespectful while talking to Lily.

“I bet your man’s d*ck doesn’t go down as smooth as mine does.” – JR

She leaves to take a bathroom break, and JR takes this time to have a conversation with Plug.

JR tells Plug that he thinks Lily is playing the both of them and shows him their matching tattoos.

Plug doesn’t seem to care and questions why JR is even talking to him.

JR tells Plug they can square up and he jabs him.

Security quickly intervenes and Plug is escorted out of the building.

When Van asks Lily if she is ok, Plug’s friend gets disrespectful and they end up nearly coming to blows too. At this point, JR runs up on Plug again and gets restrained by security.

Lily cries.

  1. So Rachel is really mad at Kat like she forced Ryan to cheat? Come on sis. I wouldn’t be trying to jump anyone for a man who is ready and willing to step out on me.
