Charmaine has an idea.
The gang discusses Bella’s crazy night at the Halloween Party.
They all agree that Bella took things too far. Minutes later, Charmaine arrives to join the conversation.
Lily says Bella had to get stitches after getting into a confrontation with an unknown woman.
Van’s apprentice Evenita is then discussed. Although everyone wonders if he’s sleeping with her, he says Jenn would not tolerate that in a green screen interview.
Now that Charmaine is back at 9Mag, she wants a more serious role. So Charmaine feels a trip to Las Vegas to attend a tattoo convention should prove her worth to Ryan.
But Don won’t be able to make it because of his son’s birthday.
Ashley and Don go on a date.
As Ashley refuses to move her hands from her mouth, she eventually reveals that she got braces.
“Why would you go get braces without even telling me you finna get braces? Wasn’t sh*t wrong with your smile in the first place.” – Don
Regardless, Don says she still looks great and Ashley says it’s all about her improving herself.
Ashley is impressed that Don isn’t going to Vegas and has decided to put family first.
The gang heads to Vegas.
Despite her scuffle with Bella, Lily says they are still on good terms. Bella promises that she won’t get caught up in any more drama.
Since recreational weed is legal in Nevada, they decide to go to a dispensary and get some.
They go on a tour of a local dispensary before making their purchases.
The group then heads to the Airbnb. When they pull up, no one is impressed by the house Charmaine picked. It’s very underwhelming.
Regardless, the place looks good on the inside. They are greeted by a Michael Jackson impersonator.
Van raises eyebrows.
As they pick out their rooms, Bella decides to room with Lily. In a green screen interview, Lily says she and Bella hooked up in the past.
The Michael Jackson impersonator samples Phor’s weed before leaving.
Evenita shows up and Bella isn’t thrilled to see her. Turns out, Van invited her.
Charmaine changes into a leopard print onesie.
Van and Evenita’s conversation draws attention from the group.
“Wanna stay with me?” – Van
“Okay.” – Evenita
The gang side eyes this and some question if that’s the sole reason why Van invited Evenita.
Bella goes off on Lily.
As Bella keeps trying to pick at Evenita, Lily tells her to cut it out. This hurts Bella’s feelings and she emotionally confronts Lily about this not too long after.
Outside, the rest of the group wonders if Lily and Bella are more than friends.
Bella knocks Lily’s cup out of her hands and goes off on the camera man.
It’s the day of the tattoo convention.
Charmaine overslept and they were supposed to be there a couple of hours ago.
“Strike one.” – Ryan
As Bella and Lily awaken, they agree to end their beef.
After everyone get dressed, they head to the convention.
Since Charmaine forgot a couple of the signs for their station, Ryan gets upset that there are no banners and advertisements for 9Mag.
Another issue challenges Charmaine.
The health inspector comes by and says that all the artists are registered except Phor and Ryan.
Charmaine was responsible for handling this.
Luckily, the health inspector agrees to swap out the paperwork for Lily and Shine for Ryan and Phor.
Gina informs Lily of what happened. To be expected, both Lily and Shine are upset about this. They feel it was a very unprofessional thing to do. While Shine is open to finding another shop to work at, Lily vows to get even with Charmaine.
Ashley and Don celebrate DJ’s fifth birthday.
They take him and friends to play games, and Don is thrilled that his father was able to make it.
His father has been dealing with depression. They agree to sit down and talk about it later in the week.
Back at the convention, Ryan tells Gina to find Charmaine to get some more ink. Gina finds Charmaine on the floor sleeping.
Bella and Evenita cause ruckus at the convention.
As Bella is sitting and minding her business, Evenita comes by and demands Bella gives up her seat. She wants to sit next to Van as he tattoos.
When Bella refuses, Evenita pulls the chair from up under her. Not wanting to have problems at the convention, Bella just walks away.
Evenita sits next to Van while he’s tattooing a client and asks him if he’s a single man.
Van feels like this is an unprofessional thing for Evenita to do and he tells her she’s getting closer to being fired.
Feeling disrespected, Evenita then walks towards Bella and vents about Van. Still upset about the chair incident, Bella calls her out.
But Evenita doesn’t see how she was wrong. They then start arguing and things become physical after Evenita knocks Bella’s food out her hands.
Ryan and the others look on as Evenita and Bella start fighting. Security then breaks them up.
Embarrassed, Ryan decides to walk away with Shine. So does Lily and she no longer wants to be at the convention. It’s clear that Ryan will once again have to make some staff changes.
