Love After Lockup: Episiode 4

Lacy & Shane:
Back in Virginia, Lacy Crocker just finished a PTA meeting and is now packing lunches for “Daddy Shane”, who is still my favorite. Shane had his first day of work as a construction worker, or fire marshall guy, or possibly just a guy who wears both of those hats in a porn.
Fast forward to a clip of ShaJohn, who is miraculously out of prison and undergoing rehab treatment, talking to his sponsor, who looks like a younger version of Meatloaf.
He is determined that this time will be different and he can win Lacy back, and change the name on the lunch bag to “Daddy ShaJohn”.

At the end of the episode, Shane confesses to his older version lookalike that he cheated on Lacy, during one of Lacy’s ShaJohn escapades, as an act of revenge, while in a drunken stupor. Didn’t he tell the fertility specialist in the first episode that they slept together 5 times a day?! How do they have the time to have affairs, when they’re virtually connected at the genitals?! Daddy Shane is going to be in big trouble.

Angela & Tony:
Angela is giving Tony the silent treatment while being surrounded by her sexy cloud of cigarette smoke. She decides in order to forgive Tony, she is making a list of rules for him to sign and display on the refrigerator. If he goes a week without breaking these rules, he can get a gold stat next to his name. Three gold stars and he gets to pick a prize: steak or a b.j. Tony, displaying his honesty by handing over his phone for Angela to inspect, but lies about his “top secret” passcode, 2222. (He forgot he changed it to 3333). If that one doesnt work, I bet I can guess another. Tony is not thrilled about his new house rules, but it beats sleeping in the car.

Cheryl & Josh:
Josh and Cheryl sat down over a lunch of fried pickles to discuss the status of their relationship. The couple is currently living with Josh’s mother, Tina, and Cheryl has made it clear that she is not a fan. Being that they’re living at home, they have to sneak sexy time in when mom’s out of the house (and while the production crew waits in the hallway).
Cheryl sits down with Tina to discuss their living situation, and future wedding plans. Cheryl wants to hold their wedding at a castle-like insane asylum, most likely because they’d have the ceremony, reception, honeymoon, and possibly new apartment all in one location. Somehow the wedding talk escalates, and it seems that Tina was physically violent with Cheryl. Of course that was at the end of the episode, more to be seen next week.

Tracie & Clint:
Clint rolled into his lawyer’s office to discuss his options on springing Tracie from the brig. Clint is saddled with the harsh reality that Tracie is now looking at 2-20 years in prison. He can’t imagine another day without his Goddess, but admits that 20 years is too long to wait. They both need to switch networks to A&E and jump on Intervention.

Andrea & Lamar:
Andrea let’s Lamar know that she confessed to her girlfriends the paternity of her youngest daughter, and the conception location, aka the prison closet. The couple decided it was time to tell Priscilla and the teenage children this fun fact. For some reason, Andrea decided to bring Lamar and the kids to a wholesome dessert restaurant to openly discuss Priscilla’s paternity.
She confessed to her teenage children that the Holy Spirit was not infact their sister’s biological father, but it was actually Lamar. Andrea’s kids admitted that they had their suspicions with the “holy spirit’ story (Seriously? How did she keep that one going all of this time?! Did she put that on the birth certificate?)
Nyla, Andrea’s eldest daughter- who’s hair looked better and more brushed than usual, got very upset with the conversation and the fact that Andrea told her girlfriends about this family matter before her. She questions what other secrets Andrea could be keeping, as do a lot of people, I’m sure.

Michael / Sarah / Megan / Mystery Woman (the list is growing):
This week begins with Michael playing basketball with his sister DayDay while wearing a hoodie with his kids’ faces on the back (I’m assuming that’s so he remembers what they look like). Michael tells his sister of his recent reunion with Megan, and the alleged drama with Roc.
Michael confesses that he still has chemistry with Megan, but also admits that there is a new “female” in his life- mystery woman Maria. Michael’s sister tries to bring him back down to Earth and make him realize that his daughters need a father in their lives, not someone who’s “pimpin’ “, but clearly message not received. And I’m just sitting here wondering what I’m missing and how multiple women can find Michael’s Q-tip head attractive!?!
Sarah is sitting in Rochester, highlighting Michael’s phone records to show his calls with other women. She confronts him on the phone, and threatens to have his phone turned off, because she’s for some reason still paying for it, and indirectly funding his pimping pipeline. Michael’s mother was in the room while he was on the phone with Sarah, and didnt seem to interject.
Michael is finally making his Pretty Girl pilgrimage to see his daughters with his new mystery woman as his support system. They are seen in the back of an Uber talking about how they dont want any drama. Bringing his new Queen seems like one of his best decisions yet, and I can already hear Sarah’s accent coming out in full effect.
