Dr. Nicole Dupree Richardson (Daphnée Duplaix) arrived at the Fairmont Crest Country Club, meeting her mother, Anita (Tamara Tunie), for breakfast. They expressed concern over Dani (Karla Mosley), who was struggling with her ex-husband Bill’s (Timon Kyle Durrett) upcoming wedding to Hayley (Marquita Goings). Meanwhile, Naomi (Arielle Prepetit) enjoyed a romantic morning with her husband, Detective Jacob Hawthorne (Jibre Hordges), before preparing gifts for his first day on the job.
At home, Dani, furious over Bill and Hayley’s wedding, shattered coffee mugs in frustration. Her friend Vanessa (Lauren Buglioli) tried to comfort her, suggesting a spa day and reminding her of her powerful Dupree heritage. Dani later called her daughter, Chelsea (RhonniRose Mantilla), about an upcoming photoshoot, but Chelsea was annoyed by her mother’s controlling nature. Chelsea, an aspiring influencer, confided in her assistant Kat (Colby Muhammad) about her doubts regarding her future in modeling.
At the club, Nicole was honored with a prestigious psychiatry award. Hayley arrived to finalize wedding details, but the lack of RSVPs hinted at trouble.

Meanwhile, nurse Ashley (Jen Jacob) started her first day at Garland Memorial Hospital, with her boyfriend Derek (Ben Gavin) supporting her. Photographer Andre Richardson (Sean Freeman) also arrived to shoot Nicole’s award biography and a fashion spread with Chelsea.

However, when Dani learned Bill and Hayley had bought a house in her neighborhood, she lost control.
