After quarantine, the couples arrive at the house.
Before heading to the boot camp house, all couples had to quarantine for 14 days. The quarantine seemingly didn’t bother Mariahlynn and Rich Dollaz. They’ve been off and on for almost 10 years now. Mariahlynn says they’re not living together.
But unfortunately, the quarantine period may have gotten to A1 and Lyrica. While in the hotel, A1 complained about Lyrica being unwilling to be intimate. Lyrica says the two of them are separated.
Emmet and Gangsta Boo were happy to get out of quarantine. But Gangsta Boo is ready to make their seven-year relationship official with marriage.
K. Michelle and Lyrica start off on the right foot.
As the couples arrive at the house, K. Michelle and Lyrica cross paths. Oddly enough, the two of them are surprisingly cordial. After everyone arrives at the house, A1 and Lyrica talk about their tension with Lyrica putting their lack of a s*x life on blast.
Apparently, even after their time on “The Conversation,” A1 stepped out on his marriage, again.
Eventually, Dr. Ish greets all of the couples in a courtroom of sorts. Judge Toler “presides” over their time in “court,” as she speaks to each couple about their apparent tension.
Emmet and Gangsta Boo approach Judge Toler first. Boo wants him to respect her and hear her voice as a Black woman. Emmet feels she’s controlling. Both agree that communication, or a lack thereof, is a problem.
K. Michelle is ready to have children.
After Gangsta Boo and Emmet approach, K. Michelle and Kaston talk to Judge Toler. Kaston doesn’t believe K. Michelle can be both a mother and a “mogul,” despite what K. Michelle says. Meanwhile, K. Michelle has a huge list of what she wants to have, which includes twins and a farm. Things get interesting when K brings up Kaston’s hesitancy about getting married.
Things get tense when A1 and Lyrica approach the judge. A1 doesn’t want to be antagonized regarding his past infidelities. Meanwhile, Lyrica isn’t even sure if she’s in love with him. However, A1 believes he can be faithful and brings up how Lyrica also stepped out, which Lyrica denies. This spurs debate that what Lyrica did was really cheating but she claims they were and still are separated.
Overall, the couple is on the verge of divorce.
As they are talking to the judge, Gangsta Boo falls asleep and snores.
Lastly, Marilynn and Rich approach Judge Toler and Rich want to know if Mariahlynn is really serious. Oddly enough, Rich admits to taking another woman as a guest at a televised wedding.
At this point, Mariahlynn feels Rich Dollaz hides her from the public.
A1 stops a difficult conversation.
When the judge leaves, Dr. Ish presents the couples’ room keys with different labels. The couples pick which label describes their relationship and head to their rooms. Each room highlights the tension in each relationship.
K. Michelle says it’s a bad omen when she sees a broken crown in her room with Kaston.
Each room also has a quote of the worst things each one said in their relationship. This shocks A1 and Lyrica as Lyrica told A1 she wishes he would die. Meanwhile, K. Michelle wants to talk to Kaston about why he doesn’t want her to be the mother of his children. In the interview booth, Kaston wishes they just had therapy in private.
Dr. Ish walks in and talks to the couple which leads to tears flowing from K. Michelle.
Next, Dr. Ish visits A1 and Lyrica in their room. They talk about the disagreement about whether or not Lyrica really cheated on A1. A1 says he cheated because Lyrica doesn’t want to sleep with him. As Lyrica’s voice goes up, A1 stops the conversation with Dr. Ish. The episode ends with A1 threatening to leave the boot camp.
