Teddy is relieved that Ceaser wants space from Suzette. 

Ceaser returns from Columbia to recap everything to Puma and Teddy. He says that he made so many sacrifices to be able to leave his businesses and support Suzette while she started her reconstructive surgery process. However, it doesn’t seem as if she appreciates this. She accused him of having negative energy. And she no longer wants him around as she continues the process. Instead, she just wants him to return when she’s finished. 

At this point, Ceaser is really starting to question their relationship. So he is planning to move his things out of their house while she’s still in Columbia. Teddy says he’s happy to hear this because he’s been warning Ceaser about Suzette since her blowup with Cheyenne. 

Ceaser just thinks some time apart is what will be best for him and Suzette. 

Van pops up.

Back at the shop, Rok has an update of his own. His brother Mario is doing much better after he got into a major car accident. So everyone is happy to hear this news.

Although Alex has been away from the shop and the group for a while now, he’s back. Now his focus is on bringing “equanimity” to everyone. And it’s all about helping people work on maintaining their inner peace and prioritizing their mental health.

Interestingly enough, Van from 9 Mag shows up. He confirms that since he left the Chicago crew behind, he now has a new tattoo shop in Houston with Ceaser. It was always a goal of his to have his own thing after he founded 9 Mag with Ryan. 

Ceaser returns to the shop and he says that he has asked Van to run the shop while he’s away because Van is doing such a good job in Houston. 

Alex brings the crew equanimity. 

Puma and his family go on a “glamping” trip to Georgia. It goes well and this is another sign for them that moving to Atlanta is a good decision. 

Alex and Spyder create the “Dead A*s Garden” outside of the shop. It has plenty of plants and places for the staff to relax and clear their heads when they need to destress. Everyone is impressed. And Alex is happy to be able to offer equanimity to the group.

Suzette and Ceaser have a heated exchange. 

After Suzette returns from her surgery in Columbia, Ceaser confronts her about their blowup. He thinks it was really selfish for her to tell him he can go back home because he had bad energy after he made sacrifices to be there for her. Suzette believes Ceaser was selfish towards her because he’s not able to be emotionally available. 

This is a triggering moment for Ceaser because he truly feels Suzette doesn’t care about the problems he’s been going through with Cheyenne. And she’s only focused on herself. However, Suzette pushes back at this and she tells Ceaser she asked him how things went in court recently. So he knows that she cares. 

Annoyed by Suzette’s comments, Ceaser reminds her that he is the one who put the money down for her reconstructive surgery. Suzette says all Ceaser thinks about is his money. But he’s not available on an emotional level. And he’s honestly an “a*shole” towards her. 

As tempers continue to flare, Ceaser storms off.

  1. Ceasar is still doing all the wrong things. Why put money down for her surgery? He should have put that money in a college fund for his daughter. I give that so called relationship 1 more year. It won’t last, they won’t make it to the alter. Caesar should try being alone for a while before jumping in a relationship. That’s why none of them are lasting.
