Yandy comes over. She says she’s been inseparable with Maggie since they met.
Maggie tells Yandy it was hard to return to the venue she was shot at. Crowds make Maggie feel vulnerable.
“I try my best to move forward every day but it’s not easy.” – Maggie.
Yandy proposes that she and Maggie have a girls day at the beach soon.
Not too long after, Joe and Cyn come through with their son. Yandy holds him.
Cyn and Yandy decide not to discuss the drama that went down at Jonathan’s birthday party.
Joe checks in with Maino.
He tells Maino that he’s happy just focusing on becoming a more popular media personality. As for Maino, he has a lot on his plate because he has a lot of people depending on him.
It’s clear that he still feels guilty about Maggie getting shot.
Kiyanne calls out Jaquae.
Safaree is having a barbecue.
Jaquae comes through with Nya Lee.
Both Nya and Safaree tease Jaquae about him trying to win Kiyanne back on social media.
He misses her and wonders if they can ever be together again.
Later on, Kiyanne shows up and speaks to everyone, including Jaquae. Safaree and Nya leave them alone to talk.
But Kiyanne tells Jaquae he’s clout chasing and begging for her on social media. She the accuses him of cheating on her last year.
While they argue, Kiyanne says that Jaquae claimed that he wrote Safaree’s music.
She challenges Jaquae to tell Safaree what he said about him. At this point, security intervenes.
“He’s an opportunist.” – Kiyanne
Kiyanne then leaves.
Maggie is about to get a push forward.
Maino is a huge fan of boxing.
So he shows up to Danny Garcia’s press conference.
He’s feeling like Maggie attending Danny’s upcoming match could be helpful since she needs help adjusting to huge crowds again.
Juju has a conversation with Anais.
Yandy has her girls trip at the beach.
She’s hoping that it will be peaceful for everyone who shows up.
Maggie is the first to arrive and she shows off where she was shot in the leg.
Juju shows up next and Yandy introduces her to Maggie.
Not too long after, Anais shows up. She speaks to Juju who doesn’t look happy to see her.
Yandy and Maggie leave them alone to talk.
Anais apologizes for their previous blowup, and she explains that she realizes she was out of line to jump in the situation to defend Jonathan.
She then tells Juju that she fell out with Jonathan. It comes out that Jonathan had more to say about Juju behind her back recently. As for Anais, she’s trying to figure out if Jonathan is actually the one causing most of the drama.
Safaree and Nya meet up with Kiyanne again.
They want to understand what Jaquae actually said about Safaree.
After Nya asks what’s going on between Kiyanne and Jaquae, Kiyanne says that Jaquae is a fake opportunist.
In particular, Jaquae told Kiyanne that he wasn’t sure Safaree’s robbery isn’t an insurance scam.
This upsets Safaree and he says he needs to have a conversation with Jaquae.
Maino tells Maggie about the boxing match.
When he tells her it’s happening this weekend, Maggie isn’t confident she’s going to be able to handle it.
She still has fears of getting shot again.
But she doesn’t want to disappoint Maino.
After Maino leaves, she tells her brother Julius that the Barclays Center is a huge venue and she’s afraid she’s going to be too far away from an exit.
Her brother tells her to relax and have more faith that it will work out. He’s worried that she’s too afraid to live her life.
Julius feels like she was carefree before she was shot. He wishes she could go back to that.
Regardless of her fears, Maggie wants to go to the match and try to move forward.
They hug.
Safaree confronts Jaquae.
Nya, Cyn and Safaree come out to watch Jaquae perform at the Sean Jean event.
He’s been selected to rep the brand.
After he thanks them for being there, Safaree gets straight to the point and reveals what Kiyanne told them.
“What?” – Jaquae
Safaree says he doesn’t think there’s anyway they can be friends after this. But Jaquae says he’s not going to even entertain this because Safaree shouldn’t still be communicating with Jaquae’s ex anyway.
So he walks away.
Juju and Jonathan face off again.
They meet at a restaurant to talk things out.
In a green screen interview, Juju says this is the last time she’s going to try to hear Jonathan out. So she hopes it won’t be a waste of time.
Juju says she felt like she was ambushed by Anais and Jonathan at his birthday party. He says it wasn’t planned and he actually checked Anais about coming for Juju when he met with her, Kimbella and Cyn.
Although Jonathan feels Anais has been stiring the pot between them, he tells Juju he was wrong to vent about Juju to their mutual friends.
But he is still upset about what happened with the radio show.
“I’m not going to have my feelings dismissed.” – Jonathan
Juju says she only took a meeting. She doesn’t like that Jonathan is making a big deal about this.
She also doesn’t like that Jonathan has been calling her fake.
Things get tense and they start talking over one another.
Realizing that the conversation is going nowhere, Juju decides to just give up.
“Alright, have a good night. God bless you.” – Juju
Maino has a change of heart.
Although Maggie thinks they are going to the boxing match, Maino says he thinks they should go back to the venue that she was shot at instead.
He thinks this is the only way she can move forward.
She starts crying but decides to go back inside of the building she thought she’d never have to be inside again.
When she gets out of the car, she calls her brother Julius. After the conversation, she is ready to face her fears.
Maino holds her hand as they walk inside.
They have to go up another flight of stairs to get to where she was when she was shot.
Both talk about what happened that night before they walk up the stairs.
When she gets to the spot in which she was shot, she recalls what she felt in that moment.
“I remember getting shot and not being able to move.” – Maggie
After they have their talk, Maggie is thankful that Maino pushed her to come back.
