She also says that both Joe and Cyn need to figure out how to get back to being the people they were when they first fell in love.
“Get a babysitter.” – Remy
A nanny is suggested by Remy as she reveals that she’s getting one for herself. Although Cyn doesn’t want a nanny, she does think it’s a good idea for her and Joe to spend time with one another without cellphones.
Sidney is in the studio hard at work.
She’s been working hard on her lyrics and her friend Bryon comes by to check on her.

But so for she hasn’t heard anything back.
Jonathan comes over to chat it up with Yandy.

Papoose says he doesn’t think Safaree should go through with it because it’s a sharp left from his music career.
“Did you read the contract?” – Remy
Safaree reveals he didn’t read the contract. At this point, Remy says it’s a huge mistake to not read the contracts he signs.
But Safaree already signed the contract, so he’s going to move forward and wish for the best.
Cyn and Joe still can’t get on the same page.
They discuss Remy’s advice of taking some time to spend with one another without distractions.

“Are you no longer depressed?” – Joe
“I’m doing okay right now.” – Cyn
“No, you’re not.” – Joe

Safaree heads to LA to meet with the s*x toy company, Doc Johnson.
