Love After Lockup; S4 EP 9

Nicolle & Everyone but Daonte:
As Daonte attempted to recover from finding out that Nicolle is the neighborhood bicycle and everyone but him gets a ride, he headed over to the gym to let off a little steam with his pal Derick. They discussed how Nicolle ditched him the night before to potentially get herpes for life with her ex Zack, which would lead one to conclude that Daonte would finally have had enough and let her go. At that exact moment, his phone rang, and surprise surprise, it was Nicolle calling. She somehow cons Daonte into meeting up with her the following day so she could have enough time to come up with an explanation for her recent escapades. 
Before committing to Daonte, Nicolle first wants to see if she still feels the fire with her ex-prison girlfriend, Tia. They met up at a nice restaurant (which may have lost a few stars on Yelp when Nicolle walked in), and seemed to have picked up where they had left off. They explained that they had an intense relationship while on the inside, which Nicolle never seemed to get over. After dinner, the two went back to Tia’s hotel room, where Nicolle kicked out the production crew so she could climb all over yet another person who wasn’t Daonte. 

Lisa & Staley:

After a wild night in the dungeon, Stanley brought Lisa flowers and breakfast in bed. Lisa wasn’t shy to admit she was worn out from the wide range of strenuous activities she partook in the night before, which included being Stanley “milk maid” of sorts, and that’s all I have to say about that. Since the night went so well, Stanley seems on board with buying Lisa a car. He feels like he wants to move forward and work on Lisa getting multiple divorces from her multiple husbands so they will eventually be able to get married, which I guess means the car will essentially be like an engagement ring.
Mistress Lisa has some ulterior motives going on, and explains that there are a lot of “steps” in her “game”. She claimed that since the couples’ first explosive fight after her release, she now expects Stan to “take action steps” and put in some “true care and concern”, whatever the hell that means.  At the car lot, Lisa let Stan do the test driving, since she was first arrested as a teenager from taking off on a test drive and not looking back. The car salesman assumed Stanley was Lisa’s father (but luckily had no idea that she was his proctologist), as they crunched numbers for a downpayment. The segment ended with a mysterious text message to Lisa from an unknown number looking to meet up, and telling her to “get that $$”. Seems like Stanley may be the one being taken for a ride (though he may not mind as long as Lisa keeps “milking” him for all he’s worth…)

Britney & Ray:

Britney and Ray had a little housewarming party with his family only, as she was still hiding Ray from her upper middle class tribe. Ray’s family seemed extremely warm and kind towards Britney, complimenting her home and excited for Ray’s new life to begin. They did however express concern over Britney’s family accepting him, given his troubled past. Britney and her personalized t-shirts for every occasion seemed to be a big hit at the family get together (she got the Cricut machine with her 40% off JoAnn’s coupon and she’s not afraid to use it!) Hopefully when she finally goes invite her family over, she will wear one that says “My felon boyfriend lives here and all I got was this lousy t-shirt”. 

Rachel & Doug:

Rachel is fulfilling her role as the house mom, making sure everyone named Doug has enough bacon, even though they didn’t think to leave her any (I thought big Doug only ate bologna, but at least it’s another “B” to add to his list). Doug left the house with his buddy Mike to go pick out a ring for Rachel, feeling that he had owed it to her since they had a super lame prison wedding with a twist tie ring. Of course it was confusing how he was going to pay for the super expensive ring, even though he did seem to be recently employed. Mike wants to believe that his buddy will stay faithful to Rachel, knowing she has been a good influence in his life, and hoped his friend would stop trying to taste other ladies’ bacon like he has in the past. 
After the ring shopping, Doug returned to the house and asked Rachel to drive him out towards 8 Mile, where I was hoping he would try to recreate a scene from one of my favorite Eminem films. Unfortunately, instead of a rap battle, he took her to a commemorative park bench for victims of crime, where he got down on one knee making himself eye level, and proposed. Rachel happily accepted the re-proposal feeling like they were in a good place. However, on the car ride home, Doug seemed engrossed in his phone, laughing to himself, which made Rachel wonder what he was secretly up to on his phone (he was probably just reading my recaps, Rach. Don’t worry. They’re hilarious.)

Anissa & Jeff/ Tony part 2:

Since Jeff is confined to Anissa’s house, he has taken to online shopping, buying himself a big ole’ drone so he can see places he never dun seen before, such as the edge of them thar woods. Anissa seems annoyed that she’s been footing Tony 2.0’s toy fund, since she has to work hard to support them both (somebody’s gotta bring home the Gucci pants in this relationship!)
Anissa’s buttinsky friend Kyle popped up to tell Tony2 that he needs to come clean about his secret son, so as not to let more time go by. Anissa confronted Kyle as to what he and Jeff had been whispering about, and Kyle decided to spill the beans. It appeared the Jeff/Tony has had enough of Kyle’s meddling ways, and next week’s previews showed some sort of front yard brawl breaking out. Can’t wait for Jeff and Kyle to have matching teeth!
