Charmaine and Neek are still together.
Neek says he doesn’t believe the rumors suggesting Van and Charmaine slept together in Vegas.
While they are in the dog park, Neek hits Charmaine with a fake proposal.
Charmaine is not thrilled about this.
They then talk about the rumor.
Neek just doesn’t believe it and he suggests they go on a trip to Myrtle Beach.
In a green screen interview, Charmaine says she knows Neek wouldn’t propose to her in South Carolina because he knows better.
There’s a safari tour he wants them to experience.
Back at the shop, Van and the others discuss the rumor.
Bella says that she didn’t invite Evenita to the party.
Van once again says nothing happened with Charmaine. She was actually on her period during the Vegas trip and made sure to tell everyone that.
Minutes later, Danielle pops up.
She says Neek is close to proposing to Charmaine and he wants the whole gang there for the momentous occasion.
“Why South Carolina? Why not Africa if you want to go on a safari?” – Don
Danielle tells Don not to judge and just show up to support.
Bella wasn’t invited but Neek didn’t say he doesn’t want her to go either.
She decides to stay behind.
When the gang gets to South Carolina, they stop by a convenience store.
It happens to be selling a lot of confederate flag merchandise.
A black woman is working at the cash register and is wearing a confederate flag T-shirt.
She admits she doesn’t like wearing the shirt. So Van gives her a Chicagorilla shirt to put on instead.
When they arrive at their rental house, Phor is FaceTiming his new boo.
In a green screen interview, he says he’s really happy.
Not too long after Charmaine and Neek arrive at the house and are greeted by the gang, Bella pops up.
Of course, Charmaine isn’t happy about this.
But they hash things out.
Bella apologizes for her role in the Evenita drama. And Charmaine agrees to let her stay at the house.
The next day, Van pushes the gang to go to a local rice plantation.
Their tour guide tells them that the life expectancy for slaves there was 3-5 years.
It’s an emotional trip for everybody. In a green screen interview, Charmaine says this is one of the reasons why she’s not okay with people who aren’t black using the N-word.
Phor’s new boo Sophia Body shows up at the house.
He confirms they are dating.
Bella asks if they have slept together.
Sophia says she hasn’t slept with anyone for 2 years. And she’s had a crush on Phor for a long time.
Van brings up the fact that Sophia appeared to be interested in Cease from the New York show. Producers flashback to scenes of her doing a photoshoot with him.
But she denies they ever did anything.
Nikki returns.
Meanwhile, Nikki links up with Jenn at the airport. They head to the house together in a ride-share.
Nikki says she reached out to Phor after news of his depression came out on the show.
But he ignored her and she thinks that’s foul because he cheated on her birthday.
When Nikki and Jenn make it to the house, Phor isn’t happy to see Nikki.
In a green screen interview, Phor asks why she’s even there.
She speaks to Sophia and Sophia says she’s not going to interfere with Phor and Nikki talking since they have a long history.
So Phor and Nikki go outside to talk.
Phor says he misses her and the friendship they also had.
She was his best friend and she knew he was depressed.
And he doesn’t like that Nikki reached out to him on Instagram. He felt that wasn’t genuine.
Nikki says the effort should count.
He admits Nikki leaving him took a toll on him and his depression.
Phor tells Nikki he still loves her and he’s glad he was able to get everything off his chest.
