Key Takeaways

- Dani and Andre lean into playful fantasies that bring them closer.
- Martin and his cousin catch up. And culinary expert Sunny Anderson guest stars.
- Smitty uncovers critical intel while Grayson considers a life-changing deal.
A Couple in Conflict
Shanice (Ernestine Johnson) wasn’t happy with Ted (Keith D. Robinson) after she spotted him showing compassion to Leslie (Trisha Mann-Grant). Whenever Leslie sees Shanice, she leads with rudeness, sarcasm, and insults. And while Shanice can give as good as she gets, it was difficult for her to see the man she likes being so kind and understanding with Leslie.
He says he feels he’s to blame for the person Leslie has become. We’ll see if Ted can come up with a way to explain himself and his actions to Shanice. She’s had to deal with his lingering feelings for Nicole (Daphnée Duplaix) and now this. Will they be okay?
The Sunny Side of Town
BTG welcomes a special guest to the DMV on Friday. Food Network Star and culinary expert Sunny Anderson runs into Nicole and Carlton (Robert Christopher Riley) at Orphey Gene’s. The two are out on a date when they meet Anderson.
This date is fairly significant for Nicole and Calton, who just spent time in the doghouse after he messed things up with the psychiatrist. But after her recent non-anniversary talk with Ted, Nicole may be seeing Carlton in a whole new light.
Dani and Andre Imagine the Possibilities
Dani (Karla Mosley) and Andre (Sean Freeman) continue to navigate life as a married couple. They don’t have what one would consider a traditional marriage. They are more of a go-with-the-flow type of husband and wife.
In fact, they claim they don’t get jealous. They spend plenty of time together. But they also live their own lives. Andre’s often off traveling on a photo shoot while Dani makes a comeback as a supermodel. Look for Dani and Andre’s imaginations to run wild on Friday. Whatever it turns out to be, it will undoubtedly be fun, flirty, and bring them even closer together.
Martin Plays Catch Up
After focusing on his reelection campaign, Martin (Brandon Claybon) has been spending time reconnecting with his family. He just made sure his parents were okay on their anniversary. He even chatted with his sister, Kat (Colby Nixon), about Ted and Nicole. Next up: he catches up with his cousin.
This could be Martin and Naomi (Arielle Prepetit) talking. If it is, Naomi might take the opportunity to talk to her cousin about what Smitty’s working on. She just spoke with Ashley (Jen Jacob), who mentioned Smitty (Mike Manning).
Plasma Ring Update: Grayson and Smitty
Speaking of the investigative reporter, he learns critical intel. Maybe Smitty discovers Lia’s (Cecelia Specht) connection to the plasma ring. Jacob (Jibre Hordges) has tried to get this information out of Grayson (Jordi Vilasuso), but Smitty might be the one to uncover it.
As for Grayson, he makes a life-changing deal. He has wanted to make a break from the plasma ring for a while now. After all he has been through, he doesn’t think it has been worth his time or even the money he made to help pay off his debts. And now that things have gotten so dangerous, he might want out as soon as possible, and he’s willing to make a deal with Jacob to do it.
