B-Mickie is still trapped in that car and we discover Detective Bryant is the culprit. He visits B-Mickie and let’s him know that his mom is going back to that terrible hospital she was in and he’ll be charged with Jay-Mo and Kato’s murders.
Meanwhile Sockie’s funeral service is underway. Folks notice B-Mickie is missing in action but not enough to actually go look for that young man. At the precinct, Bryant and Jin find out they need to get the drugs back to evidence quickly! Detective Bryant decides to disrespectfully interrupt Sockie’s service demanding the product be returned to him. He tosses his cigarette in the bowl of wine before walking out. Not in the house of the Lord!
Lawanda possibly finds out she is pregnant by way of a psychic reading. Now that is truly a new one for me but at least we know what she did with all of Terry’s belongings. When she gives Terry the baby news he is less than happy. He does not believe LaWanda is pregnant considering there is no stick involved here. Speaking of Terry, he cashed out the car business much to the disappointment of Charles. Now how he gonna support the family now chile? Charles is still lying too. Claiming he is picking up a late shift a work to creep with Mable. Now Lucille should have known that was false considering Charles ain’t got no damn job.
Meech and Terry head over to K-9's spot where he shoots his mom in the head. Thankfully she was just grazed and survives the attack but what in the crazy? Meech gets help from Rayzin to help with taking over the plug but Terry does not trust the situation. The brothers idea of meeting the plug is very different. Meech wants to come in peace but Terry feels they need to be armed.
Monique has Lamar come over to her house and butters him up in hopes of being able to get rid of Lamar herself. Blackie also appears to be getting sick, I would have to assume it’s from those Hungryman dinners.
Terry meets up with Markisha and let’s her know if they get the plug, he will be able to take care of her. It seems like this pair is back on track. Terry tells Markisha that Lawanda is pregnant but it happened before they got serious. He professes his love to Markisha and admits he is not in love with Lawanda. Meanwhile, Lawanda and her mom go over to Lucille’s to war plan, I mean, family plan. Lucille assures her that no matter what happens between she and Terry, her child will be welcomed and loved.
Mable drags Charles to the strip club for some T and A. He seems to be enjoying his time but Meech is also in attendance at the club and spots his father. Charles quickly gets out of dodge but the secret is out.
Meech and Terry arrive in Saint Martin and Meech immediately hooks up with a young woman at the bar. Of course it was a set-up. The following day, Terry insists on doing all of the talking since Meech got them robbed but Terry is ignorant to tradition and because he did not accept a cigar, he is left behind from the meeting. Meech quickly discovers that Rayzin is attempting to backdoor Meech and K-9. Meech makes a deal to take over for K-9 and repay his debt to keep him alive. The brothers are successful.
Detective Bryant and Jin receive the photos they took of Terry and Markisha. They immediately take the photos to Lawanda in an attempt to get her to snitch on Terry, even threatening her as an accomplice to Terry’s crimes. The pair of detectives later make a love connection after Bryant watches Jin interact with his son. They share a brief kiss — how romantic.
Lamar is forced to make the decision of putting Blackie down. He takes Blackie to Pastor Swift’s church and demands the pastor heal an already dead Blackie. When Lamar begins to get more aggressive with Pastor Swift, he pulls a gun which prompts Lamar to leave.
Meech knew Rayzin would attempt to take the drugs when Meech and Terry arrived to pick up the supply, so he is taken out. K-9, Meech and Terry have a meet up. K-9 accuses Meech of trying to backdoor him but Meech has actually saved his life with the deal he made. K-9 tells Meech that their partnership is over and that Meech is a boss now.
Lawanda confronts Terry about the pictures Detective Bryant gave her. Terry tells her that after she took his son, he moved on. Lawanda accuses him have abandoning his family but Terry says he will always be there to support his children.
Charles pays Meech a visit at the record store to make sure his lying, cheating and deceiving ways are between them. Meech refuses to rat his father out because he does not want to break his mothers heart. Although Charles should feel guilt, it appears he is more relieved than anything else.
B-Mickie finally gets up out that trunk and races to the hospital to see his mother. Sadly he discovers she passed two days ago.
Takeaways:
I’m still stuck on finding out you pregnant from a psychic and not actually taking a test. Now if that ain’t a Maury segment!
Charles, Charles, Charles! You really went out in public with your side of coleslaw? Is that not an unwritten rule in the cheaters handbook?
RIP Blackie, Rayzin and the bottle of wine Markisha smashed against Boom’s head. Hopefully it was a pinot because that may sting more than a moscato.
