Barbie is stressed out about her relationship.
KP recaps the shop changes to his mother. He’s happy that Barbie, Vudu, and Nessie are all out. KP feels like their departures mean the negative energy is now nonexistent.
Barbie vents to Danielle about her relationship problems with Bone. She suspects he may be cheating again. Now that they have a child together, Barbie doesn’t want to be disrespected anymore. Danielle says that she went through a lot with Lemeir. He cheated on her but now he’s a completely different man. And he’s faithful. So Bone could change for the better as well.
Vudu catches up with Ink Drippin’ and Polo. She confirms to Ink Drippin’ that she and Nessie quit. And what bothered her the most was that KP called Nessie trash. In a green screen interview, Ink Drippin’ says it was wrong for KP to say this. And he’s not feeling KP and Tim’s behavior.
Bone has to make things right with Barbie’s father.
Barbie and Bone go out on a date. She tells Bone that his past discretions still haunt her. And she reminds him that he cheated on her while she was pregnant. He’s actually cheated on her multiple times. Bone comes off nonchalant when she expresses her concerns and this bothers her. They are engaged but she’s not willing to get married until Bone has a conversation with her father. He reluctantly agrees to this.
Despite not feeling KP and Tim’s treatment of Nessie and Vudu, Ink Drippin’ wants to stay at IAM.
Ink Drippin’ tells KP and Tim that he will come to the shop when he can. But he will need some time to get his mind right because someone close to him passed away recently. Both tell Ink Drippin’ that they understand. And they support whatever he needs to do for himself.
In a green screen interview, Ink Drippin’ says that he doesn’t like how things unfolded with Vudu and Nessie. However, Tim and KP have always treated him like a brother. So he still wants to work with them.
He also invites both men to his upcoming charity event. But he’s honest and confirms he invited people they are no longer good with. While KP isn’t happy about this, he does appreciate that Ink Drippin’ gave them a heads up.
Star tells KP. Tim, and the others that Lemeir is opening up his own shop. KP claims he doesn’t care as long as Lemeir is nowhere near IAM anymore.
Bone has a tough conversation with Barbie’s dad.
Barbie and Bone celebrate their son Phoenix’s birthday with her family at a petting zoo. Bone takes the opportunity to speak to Barbie’s father Clinton even though he’s not a fan of Bone. He takes issue with the fact that Bone has cheated on Barbie and caused her pain.
Bone apologizes for proposing to Barbie without talking to Clinton first. Clinton is not enthusiastic about the apology. And he says that he realizes that Bone didn’t know any better. When Bone says he just wanted to talk so they can be on the same page, Clinton says they will never be on the same page. All they can do is try to move forward.
KP and Tim bring Vudu to tears.
Ink Drippin’ has his charity event. Lemeir shows up, and so do KP and Tim. Tim and KP run into Vudu. And she’s asked if she’s working at the shop. She says yes but has no idea that Tim and KP are referring to Lemeir’s shop. After Alana clarifies this for her, she tries to set the record straight with them.
And she says she meant she is still working at the tattoo shop in Venice. But KP is annoyed by her presence and mocks her laugh after calling her ditzy. Vudu says this was unnecessary but KP and Tim have no regrets about their treatment of her.
Vudu goes to the bathroom to cry about this. Alana finds her to check on her. And Vudu says what just happened reminded her of when she was bullied by her stepfather.
Polo and Alana comfort her and Alana decides it’s time for her to speak up.
KP and Tim have no regrets after their recent exchange with Vudu.
Alana confronts Tim and KP about their exchange with Vudu, and neither seems to care that they made her cry. KP says that Vudu is no longer their concern since she quit the shop. In a green screen interview, Alana says she realizes that KP and Tim become different people once they fall out with a person.
Lemeir learns of Vudu and Nessie’s exits from IAM. In a green screen interview, he says he’s not surprised because KP and Tim don’t appreciate anyone they work with.
Barbie and Armani have a heated exchange.
Barbie decides to talk to Armani about Tim and KP’s treatment of Vudu since she considers both her brothers. However, Armani doesn’t want to hear what Barbie says because she views her as a traitor. And in her mind, Barbie is Team Lemeir now. So the two ladies begin arguing and security has to restrain them.
Ink Drippin’ sees all of this unfold. And he feels KP and Tim’s beef with Lemeir is toxic. It’s causing problems for everyone else.

"I wish I could say I'm shocked about Tim and KP but I'm not. They're gonna stay disrespecting women because there's no consequences!" ?

Kp and Tim are two clowns. What they need to keep in mind is if they have daughters, how are they going to feel when some clown like themselves call their daughter trash? Tim is a follower which isn’t a good look! They are going to run everyone away except the ones that are so far up his A-S! That shop won’t last because they are the NEGATIVE VIBES there. Until they work on themselves, artists will come and go. Leimeir opening his own shop was a smart move. When kp and tim run everybody off they can go work for Leimeir!
Kp bobble head is rude, he has NO RESPECT FOR HIS employees period.That shop will never take off with that attitude!! Just ask ceaser! I’m not watching anymore!! His mouth is very reckless.
