Rok and Krystal’s good news stirs Tatti.
Rok and Krystal return to the shop. They confirm they agreed to turn their Gods of Ink shop into Black Ink New Jersey. This frustrates Tatti since she’s been asking Ceaser if she can open a Black Ink Long Island. She even demoted herself to apprentice status just to learn the ins and outs of running a shop. Tatti just wishes Ceaser took her seriously.
She ends up talking about this to Puma and Teddy. While both understand that Tatti has been much more loyal than Rok and Krystal, Puma remembers Tatti had some serious legal issues in the past. So it’s possible that Ceaser wasn’t comfortable with giving Tatti her own shop due to this.
Bux claims innocence.
In the meantime, Tatti is so stressed out from still trying to manage the shop while being an apprentice. It hasn’t helped that the 125th shop staff has moved into the Brooklyn shop. She just doesn’t think she’s being treated fairly by Ceaser. So she storms off.
Alex and Bux catch up and they discuss Spyder. Bux says he never told his former fling anything about Spyder’s wife getting a tummy tuck. And he has no idea why she said that other than to hurt their friendship.
Bux strikes out with Spyder and his wife.
Tatti doesn’t show up to the mandatory staff meeting at the shop. But Ceaser decides it’s time for a workshop/bonding trip. And Tatti won’t be invited since she didn’t show up to the meeting.
Spyder and his wife go on a double date with Puma and Quani. Bux is discussed. They are upset that Bux denied talking to his fling about Spyder’s wife. They know Bux is lying. And this doesn’t sit well with them since they did so much to help put him on.
Ceaser’s assistant Vanity breaks the news to Tati about the upcoming team-building trip to Orlando. Tatti was not invited because Ceaser takes issue with her skipping out on the staff meeting for a “mental health day.” Tatti doesn’t think this is fair at all. So she decides she will pop up in Orlando anyway to confront Ceaser.
