Life After Lockup, Ep ??

Destinie & Shawn:

Destinie is stressed out over her looming court date which happens to be in the morning. She confesses to her sister, Brittany that she doesn’t know if she is going to be able to show up and face the music. They decide to make it a religious moment and invoke Jesus for a little prayer action, as Destinie could use a miracle. 
Shawn had been incessantly calling Destinie (like he had for the last 5 episodes of nothingness or so) and finally decided he should just go to California to check up on his $50,000 bond money. 
The next morning, Destinie decided to skip town leaving her sister and Shawn guessing if she would show. Shawn arrives in the courthouse parking lot, worried that Destinie will be putting him at risk of losing it all. Pretty much nothing happened with them- yet again.

Andrea & Lamar:

Andrea and the girls head home from their dramatic night at the AirBNB after she and Lamar’s explosive fight. Lamar tries to ply her with flowers, apologizing for making Priscilla lie about meeting Shante, his older daughter/ Priscilla’s half sister. Andrea claims her biggest issue was that Lamar was teaching their daughter to lie, as well as not being included in family affairs. Andrea feels blamed for Shante and Lamar’s rocky relationship, due to her jealousy and tantrums. The couple seemed to talk things through, and are getting along for the moment.
Lamar apologized to Priscilla for getting her in trouble for being a blabbermouth, and the two have a lot of fun laying down some tracks in Lamar’s home recording studio (I would love to hear his thoughts on Tarik’s rapping). 

Lindsey & Scott:

After Lindsey went on a psychotic rampage destroying Scott’s office with baby powder (all while wearing one of her award winning hairstyles- mind you) Scott is at a loss. Lindsey believes that Scott is violating her right as a tenant, and is determined to make his life miserable by calling up some of her Klassy with a capital K friends to destroy the rest of the house. Scott seemed to somehow remain calm, despite his dumpster fire of a life. Can’t wait to see what she’ll destroy next.

Quaylon & Shovel:

Shovel and Cousin D Mark took little Mi’Elah to a carnival in Branson for a little Quay-cation. Quaylon has been doing some soul searching and realized that he’s shovel-ready. He called Mi-Elah on her own phone to try and determine the family’s wearabouts. With his gold grill in place, he sets out to find the identifying landmark that Mi-Elah spoke of- the Ferris wheel. 
Quaylon visited the nice lady at the Branson visitor’s center, telling her way too much about his relationship details, before heading out to find the infamous ferris wheel. After all of his travels, Quaylon finally locates Shovel, who seemed happy that he at least made the effort. DMark on the other hand was less than thrilled. He doesn’t think Qyalon is shovel-worthy and hopes Shovel would just stay a-quay. 

Sarah & Michael:

Michael wants to repair his coparenting relationship with Sarah since last week’s blow up fight at the hotel (or at least that’s what I thought he said… I can only understand 30% of what he says anyway). He rolls up to Sarah’s place, unannounced as usual, where Sarah is home with the “pretty girls”. Michael gave Sarah a partial apology, which she seemed to accept, as long as he didn’t bring up the past anymore. He agreed to work on being better coparents, but also maintains that he could have Sarah any time he wants, every time (You know, Devil d*ck magic). Michael feels as though they are in an open marriage, which is basically the only accurate thing he’s ever said. All of this probably happened while poor Malcolm was out getting food, because he’s always out getting food when Michael shows up. He should just do UberEats. 

Amber & Puppy:

Now that Puppy has been released from the shelter, she and Amber are getting dolled up for a night out on the town with Amber’s friends. Puppy wants to be Amber’s wifey for lifey, but Amber seems a bit reserved. They seemed to be having a great time at the club, getting wasteypants with Amber’s friend group, that mostly consisted of presumably gay men (one who’s name was “Quintavis”, which qualified him to hang out with Quyalon and the rest of the Q balls.)

The more that Amber drank, the more “puppy love” she fell into. On the car ride home, Puppy clammed up, feeling that Amber is only into her when she’s drunk, though she’s gay for Amber all the time. They headed back to Puppy’s mother’s house, in the same bedroom, where it was implied that they would be sharing the same dog bed. 

Lacy & Papa Chain:

The picture perfect family sat down for a home cooked meal with Papa Chain at the head of the table, leading a conversation about telling the truth, and having morals. It’s like the 2020 version of “Father Knows Best”. Last week he had obtained some inside intel from Lacy’s dad that her ex fiance, Chon, had been released from prison. Since Lacy failed to mention this to him, and there have been scandalous issues with daddy Chon before, Chain decided to drop some hints that he knows without telling her directly, which all seemed to go over Lacy’s head. He finally admitted that he knew about Chon’s release, and questioned if they had been in contact. Lacy reassures Papa Chain that she has nothing to do with her ex-con, though she secretly admits that she’ll do what she wants to do (even though she’s pregnant with baby Chain).  

The cameras caught up with Chon, who was eating burnt grilled cheese with his ex cellmate and friend, Lloyd, who’s hair inspiration was the Rasta banana from the county fair game prizes. Chon admits to Lloyd that he’s more addicted to Lacy than any of the drugs he’s used in the past. Hopefully Lacy will be able to resist Chon’s advances, and remain faithful to Chain and their wholesome family life.
