Donna tells Alex to sue Cease.

Alex is upset he can’t tattoo anymore.

He explains that the doctor says too much pressure on his spine isn’t good. So he was told not to tattoo.

At this point, he’s not even sure how he can support himself and his son.

Donna says Alex needs to file a lawsuit.

“It’s my motherf*cking mission to make sure Cease pays for what he did.” – Donna

However, Alex isn’t sure if that’s the next step he needs to take.

The gang is going to the casino.

Sky hasn’t been around.

Since finding out sales for her boutique haven’t been good, she’s been stressing out.

While she’s been away in Miami trying to fix things, Cease says this is why he warned Sky against starting her own business.

Walt walks into the shop to ask how much the calendar shoot made.

Turns out they only raised $360.

So this won’t be enough to put down money on the new place he wants to rent.

Cease then suggests they go to a casino.

“It only takes one lucky number.” – Tati

Walt says he’s down.

Tati and Cease hash things out.

The couple meets in the city.

Tati brings along her new dog.

They haven’t been speaking and Tati didn’t like seeing Teddy flirting with Krystal.

When Tati says they are supposed to be a team, Teddy says that he doesn’t like that Tati didn’t have his back on the Alex situation. He actually feels disrespected.

“I have never went against you for anything.” – Teddy

Regardless, he apologizes for flirting with Krystal.

Tati then apologizes for making Teddy feel like she doesn’t have his back.

Both want to get back in a better place and agree to move forward.

They hug.

Sky meets with her boutique staff in Miami.

She tells them they aren’t selling enough merchandise.

So she gives them pointers on how to appeal to customers.

She tells them to give customers compliments. Plus, to have them try on clothes and walk down the runway in the store.

Alex and Donna meet with her lawyer Brian.

When they get to the office, Alex breaks down what happened on the day he was jumped by Cease and Teddy.

Donna explains they fell through a table and Alex’s back was injured.

“At this point, it’s so bad I can’t sit down long enough to tattoo.” – Alex

Brian tells Alex that he doesn’t want to promise anything, but if things went down the way Alex claims and there are witnesses, things could work out in his favor.

So Alex says he wants to move forward with the lawsuit.

Des is upset with Sky.

Sky vents to Allison as Allison makes it to Miami.

Apparently, Sky clashed with Des.

Des got upset that Sky wouldn’t give Red his phone number. She says she and Des said hurtful things to each other during their argument.

At this point, Sky worries about their relationship.

All she wants to do is be consistent in her sons’ lives.

With their relationships being new, she doesn’t want them to fall out.

So Allison tells Sky to give Des some time and then reach out so they can talk.

Back at the shop, it’s time for the crew to head to the casino.

Before everyone gets there, Bae’s mother gets handed the lawsuit papers filed by Alex.

Cease is not there yet to open it.

The gang arrives to Foxwoods Resort Casino in Connecticut.

Cease has a medical scare.

When they take their things to the hotel room, Cease says he’s not feeling well.

He lays in the bed face down and Teddy gets the others for help.

The paramedics arrive and Cease isn’t talking.

About 30 minutes later, the paramedics leave.

Cease says he was told that his blood sugar was way too low. It could be the result of stress.

He tells the group to go ahead and enjoy themselves without him.

The rest of the group heads downstairs to gamble.

A little later, Bae’s mother comes by Cease’s room to hand over the letter.

Teddy answers the door and tells her to come back later because Cease isn’t feeling well.

Bae and Kitty spill the tea.

After enjoying the games, Tati has some drinks with Kitty and Bae.

She tells them she’s been feeling guilty about how things have been going with Teddy.

They tell her that they saw Teddy and Krystal out on a date.

This angers Tati and she leaves to confront Teddy in his hotel room.

Teddy dumps Tati.

When she gets there, Teddy says it wasn’t a dinner date. They went to the coffee shop and they were discussing Tati.

Since he feels it was an innocent conversation, he didn’t feel the need to tell Tati about it.

But Tati is still angry and demands that Teddy talks to her.

She begins yelling and Teddy tries to tune her out.

Tati says it’s not cool that Teddy is talking to a new employee about her.

She then asks if he slept with her.

Teddy says he’s done everything he can to show Tat that he wants to be with her.

And he’s done trying to make things work. So he dumps her.
