Tiny’s jewelry was stolen.

As of now, she’s been working on her own nonprofit organization to save others. And she’s going to do a PSA with TI to warn people about sex trafficking.

Nita apologizes.

Toya and Nita go to a restaurant and talk. Nita apologizes for coming to the housewarming party drunk. She admits she was really stressed out about the murder trial.
