Divorcing is hard on Monica.

Monica is still talking to the therapist at the Mom And Daughter Boot Camp.

She admits she doesn’t like to tell people her problems because she doesn’t want to burden others.

And most of all, she doesn’t want to stress out her mother, who has a lot on her plate already.

Monica has to learn how to tell people she’s not okay. She doesn’t have to be strong all the time.

TI attends a meeting with an activist.

He discusses his call to boycott Gucci after their latest racist marketing campaign.

TI says it’s all about being respected. He feels black people spend a lot of money on expensive labels and still get the least amount of respect.

Toya, Tiny, LeToya, Beedy and Tamika go out to dinner.

They discuss Toya’s fear of getting married again.

She’s really hurt about how things spiraled out of control with Memphitz.

Although she wants to have a commitment ceremony with Red, he wants to get married. So she thinks a commitment ceremony will make both of them happy.

LeToya tells Toya not to be ashamed because she was married for three months before she got divorced. She didn’t think she’d ever go through that but she did.

Regardless, she feels Toya has a right to be happy and get married again if she wants to. And Toya shouldn’t be sad about her past.

Toya and Red talk things out.

They have a new fitness business together and it’s going well.

When they discuss Reginae, Red says that Toya is controlling and she has to understand that Reginae has a different lifestyle than most kids her age.

Toya says he’s a good man and they should have a commitment ceremony.

But Red doesn’t want that. It’s a wedding or nothing.

He then jokes that he won’t wear his wedding ring when they get married because he has to play basketball.

TI and Tiny take the kids to the King Museum.

Monica’s boys come with them too.

Both TI and Killer Mike try to explain how the Civil Rights Movement and the Gucci boycott go hand in hand.

Meanwhile, Tiny takes King outside to talk about him touring.

She agrees he should go but she’ll have to convince TI that it’s okay for King to do.

Monica comes clean to Toya about her divorce.

When Toya asks why Monica has been crying a lot lately, Monica tells her she’s getting a divorce.

“I just didn’t expect to be a 38 year old single, mother of three. “ – Monica

She tells Toya that this is something she wanted to tell her because Toya has been through it.

Monica tells producers she doesn’t want to tell the world why they are divorcing.

While out to eat, Tiny tells TI that King has been invited to tour with Members Only.

But TI isn’t feeling this because King won’t be paid and he needs to focus on school.

Tiny already told King he could go, so she knows she’s going to have to change TI’s mind soon.

LeToya, Tommi, Red and Toya work out together.

Toya tells LeToya that Red’s parents have been together for a very long time. So he’s really hoping they can get married.

Back at TI and Tiny’s house, they take time to trash all Gucci clothes.

While King is going through his clothes, TI overhears King say he’s going on tour. He decides he will handle this later.

Although Monica is still very emotional about her failed marriage, it’s therapeutic to shoot her music video for her single, “Commitment.” Her good friend Teyana Taylor is the director.
