King has a girlfriend.

Tiny catches up with King.

On the ride home from school, she asks King if he has a girlfriend. King doesn’t want to give up any information. He eventually confirms he has a girlfriend who is a sophomore at his high school.

In a green screen interview, Tiny says King has tried to sneak girls over the house at night.

She then asks him if he’s s*xually active.

He reluctantly tells her he’s a v*rgn but he’s done some things.

Tiny feels it’s time for TI to talk to King about the birds and the bees.

Reginae tells Zonnique she’s ready for a fresh start.

Zonnique comes by Reginae’s new place.

Their friendship is still going strong.

They discuss Reginae dropping out of Clark Atlanta University.

She wants to get her own money outside of her parents. She’s hoping she can become an actress and have a successful career. Toya is not thrilled that Reginae doesn’t want to return to college.

YFN Lucci comes up. Reginae says she’s just having fun. She truly enjoys the time that she and Lucci spend together.

Zonnique has a boyfriend as well but is keeping things low-key to stay off of the blogs.

It’s almost been two years since Toya’s brothers were murdered in New Orleans.

Toya and Monica catch up.

Monica’s husband is training to make his return to the NBA. She loves that she’s always with him everyday and that will change if he plays basketball again.

They then discuss Toya’s mother. She’s glad to have her around to help out with Reign.

The two year anniversary for the murders of Toya’s brothers Josh and Rudy is coming up.

In a green screen interview, she recalls what it felt like the day they were murdered. It makes her emotional thinking about it.

When it comes to her relationship, Reginae is tired of the speculation and criticism.

Reginae and YFN Lucci hang out.

They have been dating for nine months. The couple met at a Fendi store.

She tells him she had a great audition for an acting role. Acting is something she really wants to do. She knows her mother doesn’t approve of the relationship but she knows Toya’s family felt the same way about Lil Wayne.

This is why she feels like the criticism Toya has about the relationship is hypocritical.

When it comes to their relationship, Reginae is also annoyed that people always think they broke up because she posts certain quotes and memes to social media.

However, she admits sometimes she is shooting subliminal shade at Lucci but that doesn’t mean she is leaving him.

“Maybe one day I will get mad. And I might post a little quote here and there. But that’s me letting y’all in. But really, why can’t I post a quote without breaking up with my dude?” – Reginae

Toya worries about her mother’s sobriety.

With the two year anniversary of the murders of her brothers coming up, Toya talks to her mother.

It’s a stressful moment for both and Toya’s mother has a past with drugs.

So she’s hoping her mother doesn’t relapse because she’s hanging around the wrong people.

Keeping busy is what Toya feels will be best for her mother.

TI has a conversation with King about his girlfriend.

It’s time for them to talk about the birds and the bees.

King tells TI that he’s a v*rgin. But he’s still been doing certain things.

“You pose to know better than engaging in adult activity. Don’t let a temporary itch dig you out a permanent ditch.” – TI

When TI tells King that he needs to refrain from doing anything, Tiny says that TI needs to take his own advice in a green screen interview.

“That’s something Tip knows all about. Maybe he should be taking his own advice.” – Tiny

King then asks TI what he was doing with girls when the rapper was just 14 years old. TI says he was making mistakes but he didn’t have a father in his life at the time to check him like King does.

Tiny brings up the fact that the true issue is that the parents of King’s girlfriend aren’t comfortable with the fact that he buys their daughter gifts.

When King says he wants to buy his girlfriend gifts, TI says he’s too young for that.

“What you buy?” – TI

“I bought her two outfits.” – King

“That’s too much. School has just started. You just met the girl. What if she wear that to go out on a date with another dude?” – TI

“It was a risk. But sometimes you gotta take risks.” – King

“Listen, you got no business buying gifts.” – TI

“You buy gifts all the time!” – Tiny

He explains that he gives Tiny gifts because they have been together for 18 years. King has only been with his girlfriend for weeks.

Plus, giving gifts so early in a romance will make it hard for girls to really like King for who he is and not what he can buy.

In a green screen interview, Tiny says the apple doesn’t fall too far from the tree. She believes King learned his gift giving from TI.

To find common ground, TI tells King not to buy gifts over $100. Tiny suggests that she reaches out to the parents of King’s girlfriend.

LeToya and Tommi attend the birthday party for Monica’s daughter.

As they discuss childbirth, LeToya makes it clear that she’s really nervous. When Monica volunteers to give her video of her deliveries, LeToya doesn’t think this is a good idea.

However, Monica being so transparent is what LeToya thinks makes her a good friend.

Monica stresses that LeToya remembers to respect boundaries while having a blended family.

Tiny meets King’s girlfriend Elly and her mother at a skating rink.

The kids go off and skate as the women talk.

Both mothers agree that the kids are moving too fast. Plus, King buying gifts isn’t something either want him to do.

The mothers want to keep their kids level headed and make sure the kids don’t rush into things they shouldn’t.

Later on, Tiny starts packing.

The Trinidad trip is approaching.

She gets some help from Toya and another friend when it comes to outfits.

As far as living arrangements, Tiny is open to living with TI again as long as she has a girl cave.

Toya herself is preparing to to head to New Orleans for the anniversary of her brothers’ murders. She knows it’s going to be hard.

Reginae and Toya make it to New Orleans.

They head to Josh and Rudy’s resting place.

Everyone breaks down into tears.

In a green screen interview, Reginae says Rudy was like her brother. She gets overwhelmed by grief because she really misses him.

Josh’s daughter begins to cry. She truly misses her dad. But Toya assures her that Josh is looking down on her and he’s so proud of her.

The family heads to the bayou to complete the ceremony.
