Eva Catches Her Mom Red-Handed
Eva (Ambyr Michelle) realizes that her mom is up to no good again. Leslie (Trisha Mann-Grant) is a master manipulator who loves to cause chaos in the Dupree and Richardson families.
Her biggest goal was to create a permanent wedge between Ted (Keith D. Robinson) and Nicole (Daphnée Duplaix). She did that with Eva’s help. She also used her daughter to borrow money and to get information about a potential inheritance.
Unsurprisingly, she’s back to her old ways once again. And Eva can smell Leslie’s scheme from a mile away. What will she do about it? Will she get involved? Or will she stay out of it?
Leslie Rides a Wave
Meanwhile, Leslie is riding high. She is already living the good life after learning that she’s Barbara’s biological daughter. With that knowledge, she inherited a massive trust fund and is using it to get everything that she wants.
This includes the home across the street from Anita (Tamara Tunie) and Vernon (Clifton Davis), and while it’s under construction, she’s living out of the same hotel as Ted. She also used her riches to bribe her way into the Fairmont Crest Country Club. So what’s the reason she’s suddenly riding high again?
Vernon’s Got Secrets
Ruh roh. Vernon is keeping secrets from Anita, the love of his life. Usually, he and Anita are on the same page, although it wasn’t too long ago that he kept secrets about Martin’s (Brandon Claybon) scandal while she was off rehearsing with The Articulettes in Chicago.
But Anita and he worked it out, and Vernon vowed to keep things honest with his wife. So what’s he holding back now? And how much damage will they do once they become public?
Dani and Andre’s Tense Moment
Dani’s (Karla Mosley) parents want to have a tense sit-down with her and Andre (Sean Freeman—who experienced a sweet fan moment). They don’t approve of their quickie marriage and probably want to know where they’re headed.
Dani and Andre continue to keep their marital arrangement as unconventional as possible. This is likely to lead to an awkward moment between the newly married couple and her parents.
What will come out of this tense moment?
Nicole’s Shocking Romance
Finally, the teasers suggest that Nicole is caught off guard by a romantic gesture. Is this person Carlton (Robert Christopher Riley)?
Nicole is in a bad way. Her divorce from Ted is happening, and while she’s ready to move forward, she also doesn’t see herself ever falling in love again. But there’s a guy who’s interested, and it happens to be Ted’s partner at his practice. He’s really into her and has been for a long time. If he makes a romantic grand gesture, how will she receive it?
