Monica drops by Tiny’s place.
Laiyah gifts Tiny with a drawing.
The women go outside to talk, and Tiny tells them that TI has been working on his upcoming album for a while now.
Tiny feels it’s a better time now than ever for a girls trip.
But Monica has never been on a girls trip before. This isn’t really her scene. Regardless, Tiny tells her she’s going.
TI is working on his tenth studio album.
When his PR rep tells him he should do radio interviews, TI wonders if that’s necessary at this point of his career.
But his rep says it is.
They are both hoping the trap house museum will be a success and help promote the album.
He also knows that his track “The Amazing Mr. F*ck Up” will be controversial. It’s about his relationship with Tiny.
When Tiny heard it the first time, all she said is that it was a nice song.
Regardless, TI says that he’s just stirring the pot with the song because more attention means more money.
Tommi and LeToya hash things out.
Since Tommi is traveling back and forth to Dallas a lot, LeToya is planning the baby shower practically by herself.
This is really stressing her out. And she doesn’t want their relationship to suffer because Tommi is traveling so much. However, Tommi feels he has to keep making the trip to keep his bond with his daughter.
After Tommi tells LeToya that she’s been very emotional and loud lately, she tells him that this is just part of pregnancy. But she will work on not talking so loudly.
Tommi says he will work on being more patient and being more understanding of her feelings.
LeToya and Monica do some baby shower stuff.
They meet with a planner to see what the options are for LeToya.
Of course, there is some food tasting.
Monica and LeToya discuss the girls trip. The reason why Monica doesn’t want to go is because she likes to have s*x with her husband Shannon often. She’s going to miss him.
But she’s still going to go.
Tiny joins TI as he does a nightly press run.
He tells her she doesn’t have to ask him if she can be around because he gave her a lifetime invitation years ago.
The album release party is on Friday but she won’t be able to go because of the girls trip. But TI tells her she should skip the girls trip.
There is some flirting with both hinting that they would like to do some things away from the cameras. And Tiny is confused about whether she should attend the girls trip or the listening party.
Reginae visits YFN in the studio.
She’s excited the song she recorded with her father Lil Wayne is charting.
The other men in the studio ask if YFN has met Wayne yet. He hasn’t and Reginae says that Wayne isn’t the type to be overprotective.
TI drops by a radio station to do an interview and promote his upcoming album.
He says that leaving a legacy for his children is his number one priority. The rapper is also especially proud that Messiah produced one of his songs on the album.
It’s time for the girls trip.
They are staying at a cottage at a winery.
Monica is running late.
Tiny will meet them there since she’s going to TI’s album release party.
Apparently the winery is two hours away.
On the ride there, they talk about how negative social media is.
Toya says it was hard to go through her divorce with Memphitz during the social media age. The critics went all the way in on her.
“When I went through the whole situation with my ex and I had that public divorce, they was giving it to me on a platter, honey.” – Toya
But Monica says she’s learned not to worry about the internet.
They arrive at the winery and prepare to take in the scenery.
The women have some wine and conversation as the sun goes down.
It’s the night of TI’s album release party.
Since he’s been working on the album for the last two years, he can’t wait to see people’s response to the music.
TI takes the stage and says he’s proud of Dime Trap. He brings Messiah on the stage to tell the crowd that he produced one of the tracks.
When “The Amazing Mr. F*ck Up” comes on, TI tells Tiny he loves her and the song is therapeutic for him.
Overall, the party was a success.
Toya opens up about her fear of marrying again.
After the party, Tiny makes her way to the winery.
She tells the other women that she has a surprise for everyone.
The women go outside and they are introduced to a spiritual advisor named Candice who says that she can read energy.
In a green screen interview, Toya says this makes her uncomfortable because she’s a Christian who doesn’t believe in Voodoo.
Candice tells Tiny that she can sense her energy and she needs to release her pain. A good cry should do it since Tiny likes to keep her feelings bottled up.
Toya says in a green screen interview that she’s known Tiny for 14 years but never seen her cry.
As for Monica, she is told to watch her thoughts. She has to make sure she’s not negative and that she doesn’t cause karma for others subconsciously.
Toya is told that she has so much love to give but she is trying to cut it off due to past experiences. At this point, Toya says she’s in love but her two divorces scare her.
She has a good man but she’s afraid to get married again.
After they wrap up their session with Candice, the women admit it was an enlightening experience.
