OG updates Jackie about Feby.

The episode begins with Jackie out shopping with Doug Jr before he leaves for college. Doug Jr isn’t too excited about his mom Jackie visiting him on campus. He’s also getting ready to graduate from college and Jackie tells him he’s going to be teary-eyed at the ceremony.

Meanwhile, Evelyn’s partnering with Single Mom’s Planet to help out other single moms. She’s inspired after her meet up with Jiji. They’re going to work together on an event to raise money for the organization and Ev’s excited about it.

OG is dishing to Jackie about things Feby’s said about Jackie to the group. This irritates Jackie, who tells OG that Feby has a bunch to learn about her and how things go in the group. Lastly, Jennifer’s hosting a “sip & shop” event at a boutique in Los Angeles. The cast shows up to the event, including Evelyn, to support. Malaysia and Evelyn are uncomfortable when they are asked to take pictures with Jennifer by the photographers there.

Jackie goes off.

Jackie’s on her way to the event despite the “verdict” OG issued, keeping Jackie 100 feet away from Malaysia. When Jackie arrived, she yells from outside, demanding for Feby to come outside. It seems as if Jackie’s ready to throw down with Feby. Feby simply looks confused as Jackie continues to yell for Feby to throw hands.

Jackie’s antics anger Jennifer who’s event is a fund-raiser for a cancer organization. OG and Kristen lead a group of cast members and friends outside to Jackie to attempt to calm her down. However, Jackie simply gives Feby a five-minute deadline to come outside. Feby tells Jennifer’s she doesn’t want to ruin her event and apologizes. She tells Jennifer her grandfather died recently from cancer.

OG supports Jackie because she feels like Feby needs to say how she really feels to Jackie’s face. Things end eventually with Jackie finally leaving and Feby telling everyone that it’s wrong to fight an old woman and Jackie needs to return to the nursing home.

OG has a plan.

Kwame arrives home from South America where he’s been playing basketball. OG welcomes him with fruit, and wine while wearing lingerie.

They talk about what his next plans are and Kwame reveals frustrations with not making it to the NBA yet. OG brings up marriage and he tells OG he wants to get married. But he’s hesitant about it. He wants to be stable in his career first. OG comes up with the idea to talk to Byron to help him achieve this goal.

Meanwhile, Shaunie’s been busy with watching over construction in her dispensary. Malaysia calls while Shaunie’s in her shop to invite her to her skincare event. Shaunie excitingly accepts the invitation. She indicates to Shaunie that those that she’s beefing with won’t be invited. Lastly, Malaysia dishes about the paparazzi at Jennifer’s event and Jackie’s antics.

Next, Jackie meets up with her therapist to talk. It’s Jackie’s first time meeting with the therapist since the incidents involving Evelyn, Feby, and Malaysia. Her therapist digs into Jackie losing her temper, mentioning it’s a consequence of living fearful of not being in control of things.

Jackie becomes a target of the blogs.

OG and Kwame meet up with CeCe and Byron at a horse sanctuary and hope their time out will leave Kwame with key contacts for breaking into the league. As they help take care of the horses, Byron and Kwame talk about Kwame’s next move. Byron tells Kwame he’ll hit up his contacts to help him out.

Meanwhile, reads a blog post that says Jackie left Kristen’s event with a concussion. The story was on Media Take Out. Evelyn calls Shaunie to figure out who sent this story to the blogs. She says the story is false.

Evelyn’s charity event with Single Mom Planet is a charity baseball game. The event is full of fun and is a time for the moms attending to have a great day to let their hair down. Of course, Evelyn, Feby, and Kristen talk about Jackie’s alleged concussion when Jackie shows up. Feby leaves to avoid Jackie and Evelyn asks about it. Jackie denies the validity of the rumor.

Malaysia’s also hosting an event on her own. It’s to celebrate her collaboration with the skincare company Urban RX. Shaunie shows up to help Malaysia celebrate. They also talk about Jackie’s blog story. Malaysia believes Jackie planted the story.

Jackie breaks down.

To get to the bottom of things, Evelyn sets up a lie detector test for Jackie to take. Jackie says she has nothing to hide so she’s down for this. For some reason, Jackie thinks this test could be a setup just to get rid of her. She is asked multiple questions about Malaysia. And she’s asked if she leaked the story.

The episode ends with Jackie answering questions about leaking the story. Jackie doesn’t like how the test recorded her answer of talking to the press, so she asked to take the test again. Evelyn was shocked to find out that Jackie told the truth about everything except for the question about the story. After the test administrator says that deception was detected in Jackie’s answer, Jackie breaks down in tears. She feels like everyone is trying to take her down. Evelyn consoles her.
