Maurice rubs Kimmi the wrong way, again.
Kimmi and Maurice stop to scope out the land they purchased. Kimmi and Maurice share their thoughts of where specifically they should build and they like the location. However, Kimmi’s surprised about Maurice’s plan. Apparently, he wants this to be Kimmi’s next project and not a potential “dream house” for the two of them. Kimmi lets him know she’s disappointed Maurice has all of these plans, which include Martell and his uncle Mike, without talking to her about it.
This leads to Kimmi speaking about not knowing about Monster’s vaping incident. However, Maurice ends up asking if Kimmi can be involved in transporting Monster to and from practice.
Marlene spills her own tea.
Martell has the kids and they are all visiting Martell’s mom Marlene. When the kids go outside to play, Martell talks to Marlene about multiple things. This includes talking about personal revelations from him and the other guys potentially being depressed. Marlene reminds Martell about taking time to slow down. Next, Martell talks about his co-parenting journey with Melody. Marlene brings up not only not caring about Martell having a baby with his mistress, but she also reveals that she’s the one who told the kids about Melody’s song being about him.
Apparently, Martell’s son brought up the song to her and she told him the song was about Martell. When Martell tells Marlene she shouldn’t have told them that, Marlene tells Martell to take it up with Melody.
Lastly, Martell invites Marlene to LaTisha and Marsau’s 5k race.
Marsau skips out on the joint session with Dr. Francis.
The next day, Martell returns to Maurice’s office. They’re having a session with Dr. Francis. Marsau isn’t there and Maurice calls him to see where he is. Marsau is having a run and he tells them he’s not joining the session. Marsau says Dr. Francis is geared to listen to women or guys that think like women. Despite this, Dr. Francis stops by the office for the session.
When the session gets underway, they speak about the stress they have during work. Dr. Francis gets them to focus on that they need to accept they feel how they feel instead of escaping it. He also tells Maurice to stop blaming Kimmi for things and that Maurice has “two wives.” The second wife is his business and his drive for success. This seemingly opens Maurice’s eyes and he agrees. Martell feels Melody needs to hear this because he feels she puts the kids second to her growing career.
Overall, Maurice and Martell seemingly have a good session with Dr. Francis.
Marlene defends Martell, rubbing Destiny the wrong way.
Eventually, it’s time for the Destiny 5K Race hosted by LaTisha and Marsau. Before the race begins, Marsau gives a motivating speech to all runners and spectators. They also had runners write down what or who they’re running for on a stake as a goal. Once everyone stakes their goals in the grass, they begin the race. Meanwhile, Martell shows up with Marlene after the race began. Melody’s mom Vanessa is also present and the parents embrace. It’s at this point, Melody and Tiffany appeared at the finish line. They didn’t run the full race and cut halfway. However, Melody’s kids ran the whole race and Martell’s son beat Marsau across the finish line.
At the end of the race, Marsau addresses everyone with another motivational speech. Miss Wanda shows up to congratulate her daughter and son-in-law. Meanwhile, Destiny and Tiffany confront Martell for constantly arguing with Melody when the group comes together. Miss Marlene comes over and stands up for her son. Marlene tells Destiny she needs to stay out of Melody and Martell’s business. This causes a back and forth between Destiny and Marlene and Marlene approaches Melody, telling her to “handle herself.” Martell’s thankful for Marlene stepping in because he didn’t want to raise his voice at Destiny.
Vanessa and Wanda clash.
As Marlene and Martell get ready to leave, Marlene approaches Vanessa and Wanda comes over to tell them about her talk with Martell and Melody. Marlene leaves when Wanda begins to get messy. Vanessa and Wanda argue and shade each other. Wanda asks Vanessa if she slept with a married man after Vanessa brings up Wanda being a hypocrite for having a husband and boyfriend. Wanda’s angry with Vanessa for calling her ghetto.
In a green screen interview, LaTisha says it angered her that Vanessa called Wanda ghetto. And Vanessa isn’t better than them because she speaks properly.
Melody comes over and gets in-between them with LaTisha in tow. Suddenly, LaTisha and Melody defend their mothers with LaTisha calling them both wrong for posting things on social media. Eventually, the kids are able to get their parents separated. LaTisha then tells Wanda she needs to stand down with the antics. She also wants Wanda to stop approaching Kimmi about their relationship. Wanda warns LaTisha that Kimmi better not say or do anything to disrespect her daughter. At this point, she wants to put her hands on Kimmi and Vanessa.
