Trina wants to give Trick an intervention.
Joy and Trina meet up to talk about Trick’s latest arrest. He was arrested for DUI and possession of cocaine.

They used to argue about this when they were married. Joy also thinks the comments online bashing Trick’s looks are terrible.
Trina thinks Trick needs an intervention. And they have to figure out a way to get through to Trick.
Shay and Jojo make up.
After making up with Amara, Shay meets up with Jojo to hash things out. Shay explains that she didn’t like that Jojo just cut her off after she started dating Pleasure. And that’s wrong since she and Jojo were cool at the time.

Amara heard from her father.

They haven’t spoken in a while, and they have always had an on and off relationship. He told Amara that he is battling prostate cancer.
He left her and her mother when she was just two years old. Amara feels like he should have been there for her. She wants to bond with her dad before he passes away. Amara admits that she hasn’t told her mother but she’s worried her mother would be very upset by this. Regardless, she invited her father to come to see her perform.
The recent arrest isn’t something Trick wants to discuss.

Mama Ana is skeptical.
Amara decides to come clean to her mother about hearing from her father. Her mother Ana isn’t feeling this and she tells Amara that her father told her to get on welfare because he’s not helping them. And she’s convinced that he’s only coming around because of Amara’s success.
Although Amara understands how her mother feels, she doesn’t want to hold on to resentment. Regardless, Amara invited him to her show and Ana is upset about this. She storms off in the middle of their conversation.
Joy confronts Trick.
Trick gets irritated when Trina and Joy come to his restaurant to talk. He says he fell asleep while he wasn’t driving his vehicle, and he was accused of things. But he doesn’t see the big deal and he doesn’t want to take any medication for his Lupus because he doesn’t like the side effects.
When Trick doesn’t seem to be taking the conversations seriously, Joy asks Trina to let them talk alone. Trick doesn’t want Joy to feel sorry for him. Joy says she doesn’t but he’s letting down the people who are rooting for him. And she cares for him and he has to change his ways.
