Alex and Cease come face to face. 

Cease and Teddy are still outside demanding to talk to Donna. 

While Donna remains in the car, Alex exits the vehicle. 

Sky comes outside and tells everyone to remain peaceful. 

She really wants Cease to apologize to Alex. Sky gets in the car with Donna and they agree to let the men talk without interfering. 

Alex tells Cease that he expected better from Cease. He can’t believe Cease and Teddy jumped him. Alex didn’t even do anything to deserve that. 

With him having a three-year old son, having a back injury is a major problem. He can’t even tattoo anymore. 

Cease even treated him like a real friend before his drama with Donna. 

“Alex, I understand you 100%. You absolute right. We did some sucker sh*t.” – Cease

Cease apologizes to Alex and says he shouldn’t have allowed Donna to upset him. And it’s not even like Alex did anything to warrant the violence. 

And to Cease, Alex was like family. 

Things don’t get resolved. 

Donna then tells Alex that there’s more he needs to tell Cease. 

Alex tells Cease that he’s also mad that Cease told his leather connect not to give them free coats. 

When Cease laughs at this, Donna calls him a b*tch.

“You a bald head b*tch.” – Donna 

The couple feels like Cease isn’t taking what they are saying seriously, so they don’t want to finish the conversation. 

But Cease thinks it’s absurd that they just won’t take the apology and are upset they didn’t get free coats. 

Regardless, Donna and Alex drive off. 

Puma, Walt and Cease hang out in LA. 

Cease tells them what went down with Alex and Donna. 

He doesn’t understand why Alex and Donna are so mad they couldn’t get free coats from Cease’s leather connect. 

After the conversation, Puma suggests they go surfing. 

But Cease and Walt aren’t interested. They want to rent scooters instead. 

So they ride scooters near the beach. 

In a green screen interview, Cease says he really missed having Puma in his life. 

Tati and Teddy hash it out. 

Teddy drops by Tati’s room.

He wants them to have an honest conversation about their issues. 

It’s been a lot of animosity and he’s tired of it. They have to learn how to work together. 

Teddy says Tati has been very hostile and defensive with everyone. She explains that it’s been hard because people felt like she slept her way to a promotion in the shop. 

Then Teddy went out with Krystal without telling her. She wasn’t sure if he was cheating or not. 

But all she wanted was for Teddy to communicate with her. Instead he broke up with her and cut her off. 

Teddy says he understands and he apologizes for how he did things. But nothing happened with Krystal. He apologizes for making her think something was up between them. 

“Where do we go from here? What do we do?” – Teddy 

Sky is relentless about bringing peace to the group. 

Donna and Alex discuss what happened with Cease. 

It’s funny to Donna but she’s glad Alex stood up to Cease. In fact, she’s very proud of him. 

Minutes later, Sky call Donna. She asks them if they are coming to their party later that night. They are having it at the rental house. 

Sky really wants them to come because she wants everyone to make peace. 

I Am Compton shows off his skills. 

Back at the rental house, Cease and Puma discuss their humble beginnings. 

I Am Compton, the tattoo artist Cease asked to open up a Black Ink in LA, drops by with one of his friends. 

He reminds Cease that he said he could tattoo him while he’s in town. 

Cease doesn’t seem interested in keeping his word. 

Kitty joins the conversation and Cease tells I Am Compton to tattoo Kitty instead. 

“I’ll tattoo Kitt over Cease anyway.” – Kitty

In a green screen interview, Kitty says I Am Compton is “kind of cute.” 

So she agrees to getting the tattoo. 

She’s impressed with the end result. 

Krystal and Tati come to an understanding. 

Tati and Krystal have a conversation. 

After her conversation with Teddy, Tati feels like she owes Krystal an apology. 

So she apologizes for making things hard in the shop for Krystal. 

Krystal says she would never try to get with Teddy after Tati hired her. 

But she accepts Tati’s apology and she understands that love makes people do crazy things. 

The two women hug it out. 

Tokie snaps. 

It’s the night of the gang’s party. 

Tati and Krystal hang out and have some small talk. 

When Tokie sees this, she gets irritated. She wonders why Tati and Krystal are good now.

Tati says that she and Krystal hashed things out and she asks Tokie to let everything go. 

Tokie then goes off and ask Tati what she does in the shop besides “suck Teddy’s d*ck.” 

The two women then begin scraping before being restrained by security. 

After Kitty and Krystal tell Tokie she was wrong, she tells them to hire another receptionist because she’s not going to take the disrespect. 

“I quit!” – Tokie 

Cease faces Donna and Alex, again. 

Alex and Donna arrive to the party. 

When Sky sees them, she gives them big hugs. 

She’s also dedicated to making everyone end their feuds. 

Donna is surprised to see Puma there but he tells her that he’s cool with Cease again. 

And she’s not happy to hear this. 

Not too long after, Cease and Teddy come out. 

Sky mediates and urges Cease to speak his mind. 

Alex and Donna hear Cease out.

Cease says that he’s been thinking about his behavior, and Puma being there made him really come to terms with things. He’s glad to have Puma back in his life and he wants to be good with Alex again. 

He understands he was wrong to jump Alex with Teddy. 

Cease apologizes to Donna for crossing her. 

Alex walks up and daps up Cease. He’s thankful for the apology. Alex also makes peace with Teddy as well. 

Donna says she still doesn’t like Cease but she’s thankful that Cease even apologized. It’s the fist time Cease has ever apologized to her. 

The gang toasts to the newfound peace within the group. 

Sky says she has one more surprise. There’s something else Cease needs to come to grips with. 

“You still have more mending to do.” – Sky

Dutchess is on the way?

Cease says it better not be Richard. 

“Dutchess is coming.” – Sky 

At first, Cease doesn’t believe this. 

But Cease walks off. He doesn’t want to talk to or see Dutchess. 

Sky says Cease never had proper closure. So he goes upstairs and locks himself in his room. 

Sky yells for him to come out and defends her actions. 

He says he’s over her and Duchess tried to destroy his life. 

Regardless, Sky says Cease needs closure and that’s why he’s been acting out. 

Cease says the breakup was hard on him. He was with Dutchess for five years. 

This brings Cease to tears.

It’s a fake out.

He goes outside to wait on Dutchess to arrive. 

A car pulls up and a woman steps out of the vehicle. It isn’t Dutchess. 

Sky runs out and says she was just kidding. 

She only wanted to prove to Cease that he could face Dutchess because she’s a thing of the past. 

Cease is annoyed while everyone else is relieved. 

What are your thoughts on the season?
