Everyone is trying to adjust during the pandemic.
Ceaser opened another shop in Atlanta. He also has a serious girlfriend and they are now living together in his new house. After the pandemic forced him to slow down, he’s now looking forward to getting things back up and running.
Meanwhile, Puma has been struggling with homeschooling the kids now that most schools have switched over to virtual learning.
Teddy has been producing music and managing the shop in Brooklyn.
Cease sends a mass text message telling everyone he wants to meet in the Brooklyn shop to talk about the future.
Tatti bought a new house with 7 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms. Because of the pandemic, she’s had to do a number of odd jobs to pay her bills since the shops have had to slow down. Walt and Jess are enjoying being newlyweds even though the pandemic made it tough to do everything they wanted.
It’s time to move forward.
At the meeting, Ceaser tells the gang that the 113th shop has been closed down forever. But the new Brooklyn shop will now serve as the flagship location. The 125th shop will also remain open.
Alex says he wants to challenge Young Bae and become the lead tattoo artist. Bae isn’t there to respond to this. Walt wants to get off earlier in the evenings to pursue his stand-up comedy career. And Donna says she doesn’t actually want to tattoo anymore. But she still expects to have a job there. Instead, she wants to sell her CBD juices. Tatti doesn’t want to be a receptionist anymore. She feels she’s more qualified for a position that allows her to do more. So Cease has some things to think about.
In the meantime, Cease has set up an event for them to give essential workers free tattoos as a way to show gratitude.
Walt has Donna worried.
Donna meets up with Walt. She tells him that she’s upset he missed her birthday get-together. She accuses him of avoiding her because he owes her money. Donna has been worried about him. In her opinion, he’s been acting like something is going on that he doesn’t want to talk about. He denies that this is the case and agrees to do her photoshoot for her CBD juice line to make it up to her.
When Puma makes his way back to the city, Cease and Teddy tell him that someone broke into the 125th shop. And it had to be an inside job. So they are waiting to get the security footage to find out who it was. But Walt was working there on that day. He’s the main suspect.
Teddy confronts Walt.
Tatti manages to get Cease to agree to let her run the free tattoo event for essential workers. She wants this to be her way of showing Cease that she should be promoted. Donna comes in late and she’s happy to see her mini refrigerator for her CBD juices has arrived. Tati thinks Donna is being unprofessional. And she believes Cease won’t be happy to know how Donna is moving.
After Cease makes it to the essential worker event, Teddy receives the security footage. They think the man on camera is Walt. So when Walt comes into the shop, they ask him about it. While he denies being the man in the footage, he does admit to taking money out of the cash register.
