Their beautiful baby girl Ginger has been keeping them busy.
While Made Man raps, Che has kind of taken a back seat on her career as a DJ.
When Made Man says that he won’t be able to hang out on her birthday because he has to work, Che decides to call up Shekinah.
Shekinah arrives and tells Che that her trainer was too rough on her on Tokyo.

“So you gonna go all the way Sammy Sosa?” – Joc
Spice says that people get praised for bleaching their skin in Jamaica.

Scrappy, Kirk and Joc ride go carts.
After they finish, they catch up over some food.
Joc reveals that he’s in a serious relationship.
“She’s an attorney.” – Joc
Kirk and Scrappy are surprised to hear this.
So Kirk asks if his new relationship overlapped with the one he had with Karlie. Joc says it did and now his new boo wants them to go public.
Scrappy warns Joc to tell his girlfriend about the relationships overlapping before Karlie does.
They discuss Rasheeda and Jasmine.
Kirk says they still aren’t cool but Kannon is now in Rasheeda’s life.
When it comes to Jasmine’s parenting, he feels like she’s slacking and leaves the responsibilities to her mom and grandmother.
Spice is then discussed.
Joc shows them an edited photo of Spice with light skin.
Kirk says he definitely feels the effects of colors.
But Joc says he would sleep with Spice no matter what her complexion is.

This makes Che happy.
Kirk meets with Jasmine’s mother and grandmother.
Before they can really talk, Jasmine joins them.
Jasmine denies that she parties too much. She says she only asked Kirk to watch Kannon while she went out-of-town once. And she feels like he just got involved in Kannon’s life recently, so he’s being messy.
Kirk says it doesn’t make sense that Kannon still wears pull ups.
But Jasmine thinks Rasheeda is the one pulling the strings.
In a green screen interview, Jasmine says Rasheeda needs to speak up for herself if she has questions.
Jasmine’s mother then tells Kirk and Jasmine they need to talk directly and stop relying on other people to communicate.

Mimi and Spice go to a black history museum.
Before they go in, Mimi apologizes for going off on Spice earlier. Spice also apologizes and says she didn’t want them to clash.
They head to the museum so Mimi can show Spice the history of black culture.
The first exhibit they look at is Madame CJ Walker’s.
One of the museum employees gives a lecture on Madam CJ Walker’s contribution to the hot comb.
When Spice compares using a hot comb to skin bleaching, Mimi says it’s not the same. In her opinion, changing hair texture isn’t the same as changing one’s skin.
However, Spice and the museum employee stress that bleaching in Jamaica isn’t widely accepted.
When they get outside, Spice and Mimi have another heated conversation.
Spice feels she needs to lighten her skin to prove a point.
But Mimi says this will make her look like a sell out.
When Spice says Mimi doesn’t understand because she’s lighter, Mimi gets really angry.
Spice asks what Mimi would do if her next child is dark-skinned and Mimi says she will love her.
Realizing that the conversation is going nowhere, Spice decides they should just end it.
