Mel asks Derwin if he still wants to get something to eat. Derwin says, unbelievable Mel do you really think I want fish of the day right now? Mel says well I do, because it is talapia. Derwin says I cannot eat right now. Mel says you think I killed someone's kid. Derwin says, not someone's kid. My kid.
Mel says she's going to catch a cab. Then she walks out of the hospital and talks to herself and says how could I go through ths, I always have to be the strong black woman. Then McHottie walks up with a little kid that is not his, and Mel asks him who the kid is. He says oh, not mine, just a kid from pediatrics, I had to take out for some fresh air. Then Derwin walks up and is like well dang... bones are just falling all out of your closet... McHottie clowns Derwin but asks him for an autograph. Mel is just a mess.
Jason Pitts, is lying in bed with a black woman. And she gets up to get dressed and leave. He asks her why she's leaving so soon, he paid fifty for the room. She says that she told him they could have done it in the parking lot at the studio. She said they could have done it some place normal like his house. And he says his daughter is home and she doesn't know where he lives anyway. She says yes I do...google maps. And by the way, you need to cut your grass. Then Jason asks her to come back to bed and she say oh...I know how you have your issues with black women...you can have your little exotic fantasies with us in the bed but nothing more. Then she says that she has a wedding to go to and wants to take him. He says they are press conference smash buddies. And that's it. And she says look it is not our wedding it is A wedding...besides she knows he'll never marry a black woman. He said white women don't have much luck with marrying me either, ask my ex wife.
Malik is carrying Jena into his house. And Tasha is standing there... Jena is clearly loaded. Tasha says to call 911 because the chick is loaded. Malik tells his bodyguard to get her some water, he brings the water but had drank most of it. Bodyguard tells Malik he started sweating because of his diabetes. Tasha says that Jena needs help, and Malik cannot be the one who helps her. Malik says he has the situation under control and will take Jena upstairs to splash some water on her face and what not.
Derwin and Mel are at home, Derwin is like hey I wanna talk. Mel said if you bring it up again I'm going to bring up Dru Sadora. She says that they need to have a headcount for DJ's birthday party. And asks if Tasha and Malik are coming since they are the baby's godparents. Derwin says no no no...Tasha isn't the godparent, Jason and Malik are the godfathers, Tasha named herself the godgrandmother. Derwin says Mel, we really have to talk about this...we've been holding too much in. I know the baby was mine. And I'm sorry you had to go through this alone.
Malik and Jena are sitting in the floor and Malik is wiping Jena's face in the shower. Tasha comes in and yells at Mlalik that he has told him about bringing home half dead fashion models, he only gets one a year and he has used up his one chance the first week in January.

Then he goes back into the bathroom only to discover that Jena is missing.
Jason Pitts is in a bar and he snaps his fingers at a Black bartender (played by Brandy). Bartender is like wait a minute, why are you snapping your fingers at me? I have a sign that gives me the right to put you out of here. Jason says something about her being sassy and neckrolling and the white chick sitting at the bar laughs. Jason says he's the reason beautiful women like the white chick comes into this dump. Then he asks the lady if she is from some place in Africa or the island of Jamaica...because he runs that place. He calls the manager over and rats out the bartender. The manager tells Chardonnay to meet him in the office. Jason cracks about Chardonnay's name and then asks the white chick if her name is Amy.

She says that she's Jena's personal concierge and she's here to collect the 55,000.00 that Jena owes her... and that she brought her pretty little gun to help. Tasha says she isn't the only one with a gun. The lady says oh yeah, well where is yours? Tasha basically said that is between her, the Lord and her gynecologist. Malik runs up and says they need to look for Jena.
Derwin is on the toilet and Mel is in the mirror. Derwin is like yo...your dudes is whack...Gay Wiggs and McCheesy... now you got your boy thinking like am I wack? Mel asks him how did he find out about McCheesy...Uh McHottie... and if Jenay told him or Tasha. And he says no...what's done in the dark has a way of coming to the light. And Mel said why would you say that... He said, it is just that way. Mel says...the abortion didn't happen in college it happen during our break...it was Trey's.
Derwin runs downstairs pissed. And Mel is like we cannot keep going through this. Derwin says everyone keeps asking me why I'm with you. You're nothing but drama. Mel says don't act like your ish don't stink. Derwin says, it doesn't you were just in there. Derwin is like we can't just get over this...you killed a baby.

And you know you don't make good decisions when it comes to men, especially your son. But this is your life too and you get to choose, and for what' sbest for you, I think you need to go back to Derwin.
