The Atlanta crew disappoints Ceaser.
Ceaser. Teddy, Puma, and Spyder fly to Milwaukee to open up the new shop. Meanwhile, the others stay behind in New York. So Rok suggests they skip out on work. They decide to take a party bus to a wine tasting. The apprentices will stay to take walk-ins.
Things take a turn when Ceaser’s assistant Breezy texts him about the Atlanta crew. Apparently, none of the artists are there. They went to a convention Ceaser no longer wants to be associated with. He claims they were discriminated against in the past for being black artists who were taking all of the clients. And convention organizers didn’t like it.
Donna returns.
Alex decides to invite Donna to the party bus outing. Everyone else is surprised. And Tati isn’t sure how to feel about it since she and Donna aren’t on the best of terms.
Van joins Ceaser, Teddy, Spyder, and Puma in Milwaukee.
Tati has a scary moment.
While Donna is on the party bus, she clashes with Tati and Young Bae. She tells them she’s glad she’s no longer in a toxic environment. And they tell her she created the toxicity. But everyone drops the beef to enjoy their time at the winery.
Ceaser’s assistant Breezy tells him the Atlanta artists went to the convention he’s trying to boycott. And they went there to represent Black Ink. He feels betrayed. And he plans to go to Atlanta to handle business after the Milwaukee shop’s opening.
Things take a quick turn when Tati passes out while walking around the winery with Bae. Producers and cast members are concerned. And they want to get her to the hospital quickly.
Ceaser fires the Atlanta crew.
It’s the day of the grand opening for the Milwaukee shop. Ceaser is impressed by how the shop looks. He tells Teddy he did a great job. Teddy is grateful everything worked out. And now Ceaser can see that he can focus on his own dreams and still do his part for Black Ink as well.
Tati returns to the shop after passing out at the winery the previous day. She says she’s just been stressed dealing with her legal issues and she didn’t eat that day. But everything is fine.
Ceaser and Teddy FaceTime the gang. They update them about what happened with the Atlanta crew. As of now, everyone there has been fired. So Ceaser needs everyone in New York to travel to Atlanta to work at the shop until new artists can be hired.
Tati receives a really good update on her legal issues.
Alex tells Donna what happened. He doesn’t want to go to Atlanta. And she tells him she wishes he would realize his full potential. She feels he can have a better career if he left Black Ink. However, Alex eventually decides to go to Atlanta.
Rok and Krystal don’t make it to Atlanta. They tell Puma that their dog bit Krystal in the stomach and arm while they were traveling by car. The crew isn’t buying this. And Ceaser says they have 24 hours to make it or they are both fired.
Tati receives some good news from her lawyer. They have negotiated a deal in which she will serve no jail time. She breaks down in tears of happiness.
