Vado assaults Tahiry.

The episode begins where episode 5 left off.

Dr. Ish is speaking to the couples about the previous activities involving the shock bracelets. Ish turned to Tahiry and Vado to listen about their experience and why they shocked one another. Tahiry explained that she felt she was getting shocked by Vado in a way to become the “crazy” person she doesn’t want to be anymore.

As Tahiry speaks, Vado reacts to what Tahiry is saying by snatching her up. Dr. Ish separated Vado from Tahiry and the rest of the group. This shocked everyone and Tahiry says this happened because he was drinking. Meanwhile, in another room, Vado is angry that Tahiry threw the apples at him and didn’t apologize. Dr. Ish says his reaction still isn’t acceptable and will keep him separated from everyone from the night.

Next, Dr. Ish talks to Tahiry and she still hasn’t registered what happened. When everyone goes to their room, Dr. Ish talks to Tahiry again, asking if she wants to go to the police about it. Although she says no, it comes up that Tahiry experienced domestic abuse in the past.

As this happens, Kurupt and Toni talk about the incident. Toni feels triggered about what happened because she experienced her own abuse.

Tahiry’s still crying when Shanda consoles her.

Dr. Ish has Vado removed from the house.

The next morning, Tahiry and Vado are still in a separate room. Vado does express regret for his actions, saying he lost his composure.

Dr. Ish speaks to production and Judge Toler about the incident between Tahiry and Vado. He feels Vado needs to leave over the incident. Everyone agrees that Vado has to leave the house. But before he leaves, Dr. Ish wants to speak with him. Everyone else is nervous about what’s going to happen. Tahiry tells the rest of the group Vado never acted like this before the night prior.

Eventually, Dr. Ish has his conversation with Vado. Vado says Tahiry’s been pushing his buttons the whole time in the house. This frustrates Dr. Ish who then tells Vado he’s being removed. He feels Vado staying in the house after the incident sends the wrong message. But Vado isn’t leaving the program. He’s just staying in a hotel for the time being.

As Vado is sent to pack up, Dr. Ish brings Tahiry into his office. He explains to Tahiry that Vado leaving sends a strong message to the men in the group. Tahiry says she gets why this happened, saying that men have to lead by their actions in a relationship.

Meanwhile, De’Von and Hazel-E are talking about getting married and Kurupt found a bottle of liquor. So, Kurupt’s back to drinking and Toni’s over it. Dr. Ish then approaches everyone and tells them that Vado’s been removed from the house. Phaedra brings up how Dr. Ish has possible legal liabilities in place that could be at risk if Vado stays.

Tahiry brings up past trauma.

Later on, Dr. Ish gets them back into their sessions. His goal to get everyone to deal with their anger in a healthy way. They begin by writing down items regarding things that they hate about themselves. They each present what they hate to the group. While De’Von and Willie said they hate their anger, Tahiry brings up how she hates her nose. This brings her to tears as she brings up how someone broke her nose in the past.

Tahiry tells them of a time when a man punched her.

Willie brings up how he hates his cheating.

Each person had a frame to write on. The frame was actually a shirt that they are to wear. It’s a way to physically own what they wrote. During a break, Tahiry and Toni are talking and Shanda and Willie are in their room. Willie and Shanda speak about how they can not anger one another. Shanda brings up the cheating.

Later on, Kurupt and Toni are outside. Kurupt apparently had 6 drinks at this point and Toni’s frustrated. In their interview, they begin to argue and Toni walks off. Toni feels Kurupt isn’t taking any responsibility for his drinking and Kurup seemingly agrees.

Kurupt crossed the line.

Next, Dr. Ish has everyone in the back yard for an exercise to release their ranger. They each took turns punching a boxing dummy that’s wearing their shirt. Some of them seemingly take the exercise more seriously than the others. Willie says it feels good to get his anger and frustrations out on the punching dummy.

After the exercise, Shanda and Willie seemingly make progress with how they talk to one another. Meanwhile, Kurupt speaks to Tahiry and Shanda. Toni overhears as Kurupt speaks about wanting to do better. He then brings up the pain he feels about his mom who passed away. Kurupt says Toni is the closest piece of happiness he’s had since his mom passed away. Toni’s happy to hear this but isn’t sure if she could believe it 100%. Kurupt had to walk off as he got emotional. She wants Kurupt to take accountability and get help.

Later that night, Toni wasn’t feeling okay. So, she looked at his phone and saw that Kurupt called the woman he had to meet him at a hotel.

This really has Toni feeling angry.
