Stormi makes one final plea to Bettie and Lisa.
Tonight’s episode starts off with Bettie confronting Stormi and her sister Lisa outside Stormi’s property. Stormi does her best to have her mom and aunt talk things out. However, Bettie and Lisa walk away without intervention.
Meanwhile, Martell arrives for his session with his therapist. The therapy was seemingly court-ordered per his ongoing custody case. During the session, Martell admits to being off-balanced. This includes Martell getting mad at his mom Marlene and his babysitter for backing out on watching the kids.
Martell feels that he’s in an unhealthy relationship with his family because he doesn’t think things are equal in terms of support. During the session, Martell talks about his father and younger brother Montez. This leads to his therapist giving Martell a homework assignment to reconnect with his brother.
LaTisha and Marsau inspire Kimmi and Maurice.
Later that night, Maurice planned a double date. LaTisha and Marsau join him and Kimmi. Before they arrive, Maurice makes a joke about leaving it to Kimmi to wash the dishes. This leads to Kimmi bringing up Monster and her quest to get Maurice to back her in the discipline.
During the date, Kimmi and Maurice explain what happened when Monster didn’t rake the leaves when Kimmi asked him. This leads to LaTisha suggesting that Kimmi and Kiuwha sit down to discuss this. Marsau then reminds Maurice to make sure he stays the whole time.
Next, Martell completes his homework assignment. He invites Montez over to chat. Montez is recently out of prison and just got off probation. He calls himself Montez’s role model. During their talk, Martell talks about marriage helping him stay focused. Montez, who is married, says his marriage is his first real relationship and is a motivator.
Martell then invites his brother to the Blaque Business Expo as a chance to learn and network, letting him know he has business skills.
Kimmi and Maurice sit down with Kiuwha and Monster.
Later in the evening, Kimmi and Maurice took LaTisha’s advice. They invite Kiuwha for a sit down with Monster regarding discipline. When Kiuwha arrives, Maurice speaks about the boot camp. Kiuwha says more needs to be done to get Monster to do the chores Kimmi asks about.
She then asks about his grades and he says they’re getting better, but he doesn’t sound too confident about it. In the end, Maurice tells him that he’s running out of time.
When Monster is excused, Kiuwha suggests Monster is having a hard time adjusting to his new environment. Maurice replies that Kiuwha babied him. Next, Kimmi and Kiuwha bring up that Maurice needs to spend more time with him as a dad, not a drill sergeant.
As this goes on, Courtney and Stormi drive home and they talk about the firing of Junior. They still feel they need to revamp their operation at the warehouse and more people may need to be let go, including some more family and friends. They then speak about her mom Bettie and Aunt Lisa. Stormi is still frustrated she can get Bettie and Lisa to make amends.
She really wants them to finally listen to one another and move forward. However, she begins to feel they’ll never change. Courtney says they need to change before it’s too late.
As Kiuwha talks to Monster, Maurice puts Kimmi on Blast.
After the talk with Monster and Kiuwha, Kimmi and Maurice recap the talk. Kimmi believes Monster is holding things in and isn’t comfortable speaking about things with Maurice. She also believes Monster feels Maurice talks too much. Meanwhile, Kiuwha has Monster at dinner talk about things too. He wouldn’t mind if Kiuwha came around more to Huntsville.
Back at the house, Maurice and Kimmi debate about having family therapy with all five of them. Kimmi isn’t averse to doing it with Maurice, Monster, and Kiuwha. However, she’s aware of Monster’s feelings and she doesn’t want to overwhelm him.
Things get interesting when Kimmi brings up when Maurice left the last family meeting they had with Kiuwha. Maurice then brings up that Kimmi and Kiuwha could get over their past things.
Things end with Kimmi getting tense with Maurice about this. She tells him that she and Kiuwha have already worked out their issues. And she doesn’t appreciate Maurice suggesting they go back to the past.

Monster does not like the fact that his dad is no longer with his mom. You can see it in his expression. Send his A** back to his mom. Kimmie does not need that stress. She needs calm with what she is going thru. Maurice is a idiot. He should not put Kimmie thru that type of stress. She needs calm, with what she has been thru. I always thought that Marsau was the A**Hole. Maurice takes the cake. I thought he had more intelligence than that., He is showing that he is an A%%%% And monsters mother seens to be eating it up, like she wanted problems in their marriage.
I totally agree with you. He has everything at the reach of his fingertips. Spoiled and entitled. Don’t no one have to be micromanaging a teen aged to do chores or schoolwork. He needs tough love. No doors would be closed in my house. If he wants to be with his mom, let him go and see how he’ll turn out. It’s going to be the same thing because his mom is with someone else as well.
Totally agree. Ship his a-s back home to his momma. He’s a brat. Stormie your mom is a hot bitter mess. Thank God everyday you’re not like her.
Stormie needs to stop the crying it’s annoying. Her Mom is starting to act like Tisha’s mom.
Maurice just don’t get it I am a man and I understand EXACTLY what Kimmi saying she may be a bonus mom however she only gonna feel but so comfortable discipling Monster…what she has been asking Maurice CONSTANTLY is to back her up…Maurice is a A** hole
Stormi should let them grown women be period.
Monstet seems zoned out to me. Apparently his parents are just hearing themselves talk. Maurice needs to be more hands-on with his son doing man things but Monster needs to respect Kimmi.
It looks like Marty is trying to be Martell again but he needs to stop whining when he can’t have his way.
I agree that Kimmi does not need the stress, especially with all she is going through. And Maurice does not seem to understand what bonding means. Picking your child up from school is not bonding with him. And Monster is spoiled at 16, his mother was still washing his clothes??? No, he needs to be washing dishes, raking the yard, ironing his own clothes and maybe a part time job. He sits in his room all day and does what.
Finally, is it just me but has anyone else noticed when Maurice says they are all parenting Monster, Kiuwha’s husband is never present? He is never present and does not ever come to town with her.
Like when Maurice wanted to give her a home to move back to Alabama, hubby was not consulted??? Its all strange but Monster needs to do stuff on his own because he will be in college in two years and is Kiuwha still going to wash his clothes?
No Tommie72, it’s not just you. I noticed Kiuwha’s husband is never present when they discuss Monster. He is co-parenting too and should participate in these family meetings.
I also don’t understand why Maurice thinks picking his son up from school is bonding or quality time.
Kimmie is always the voice of reason and they all need to get on the same page as her.
What is “monster’s “ actual name?
Maurice Jr. I believe.
