My Sincere Thoughts

This episode starts out with Malik and Jason at a restaurant grabbing some lunch. Malik asks how Brittany’s doing.  Jason is saying how she had to stay home form school because of cramps, but Malik spots her at another table laughing and giggling with her friends. Jason and Malik head over to see what’s going on and why she isn’t at home. She makes up a story that she wanted some soup to help her cramps so she called her two friends to see where the best soup was and they decided to come there. Jason actually believes that lie and tells her to just come home after they are done. Malik knows that she’s lying. Jason knows as well but feels like one day of cutting school is no big deal. He doesn’t want to be the strict parent like Kelly was and he wants to be her friend and not her parent right now.

At Derwin’s house… Melanie is cutting up some kind of mess in the kitchen, not quite sure what it is, and Tasha is there with her hair wrapped up talking about how she needs to get her weave done over.  There is a knock at the back door and it’s Jason with Brittany and before Melanie can close it in walks Magic Johnson who then introduces himself and walks up to the fridge to grab a bowl of grapes. Jason is there to ask Melanie to babysit while he and Magic go play golf  with Michael Jordan, Charles Barkley and Tiger Woods Johnson (Magic’s cousin). She tells him that she can’t because her parents are coming into town later that night. As Tasha is making small talk with Brittany, the ” little fast girl” as Magic calls her, tells Tasha that she’s on her period so now she can have babies. Jason tries again to get Melanie to babysit but she declines and suggests that Tasha would be able to do it. At first Jason is hesitant but he finally decides to ask her to do it as a favor. Brittany  interrupts and says that she doesn’t need a babysitter and that she is not 12 anymore. She’s 13! it’s not like she’s going to go out and get pregnant, an obvious swipe at Tasha. Tasha takes offense and decides to babysit Brittany and introduce her to a good ole ghetto time. Jason and Magic leave for the golf course and Tasha leaves with Brittany in tow.

Later that evening… Melanie is getting things ready for her parents’ visit. Derwin is not at all excited about it but sarcastically says that he is. She promises him that things will be different this time.  When her parents come in Mrs. Barnett calls Derwin over, as he approaches reluctantly he flinches when she reaches out her arms to hug him. * remember when he went to ask their permission to marry Melanie she slapped him like 3-4 times.* He looks shocked. Dr. Barnett thanks Derwin for the NBA Finals tickets and says that they were able to sit right next to Donny Wahlberg (New Kids On The Block singer/Actor). Derwin looks over at Melanie in complete shock. He also unknowingly donated some money to Mrs. Barnett’s Greenpeace charity making her the highest donation collector for the year.  Derwin plays along with it not wanting to embarrass Melanie or her parents about the situation as they move to the living room to talk more.

At Tasha’s house… Tasha’s Ghetto behind is getting her weave redone, she sees that Brittany is being awfully quiet so she asks her what she is doing. Brittany shows her that she has downloaded all the Twilight movies, books and soundtracks to the tune of over $200. Tasha flips and tells her to bring her the Bible. Brittany comes back with the bible and Tasha tells her to read it .  She then tells Brittany that she has some chores for her to do. Brittany tells Tasha that she is not her maid but Tasha explains that she’s not because a maid gets paid, she’s her slave.

Back at the Davis house… Melanie is going on about some recipe for braised lamb that she got from Top Chef, but her mom and dad are more interested in Derwin’s life and what he has going on. Now they want him to call them Mom and Dad. Melanie, feeling a bit slighted, asks her mom if she like her sconces and that she had them imported from Prague in the Czech Republic.  Her mom could care less and as they continue to laugh and joke with Derwin. Her mom tells her to be a good wife and get Derwin some more food. she declines and says that he has two legs, but her dad quickly interjects and says yes but two legs that make millions.  Mrs. Barnett even asks when they are going to be able to meet their adorable step grandson!  As Derwin is talking about little D. J. Melanie angrily begins to clear the table.

At Tasha’s house… Tasha is almost done getting her hair done when Brittany comes in with some tea for her. She tells her to set it down on the table. Brittany then leaves back out. As Tasha’s hairdresser is getting ready to leave Tasha reaches in her purse to pay her when she notices something missing out of her purse. After her hairdresser leaves she calls Brittany into the room and told her to give her back what she stole out of her purse. Brittany denies taking anything from her and acts as if she doesn’t know what Tasha is referring to. Tasha goes off and tells her to go get a switch because she is about to beat her ass!

Back at the Davis House… After dinner they are all sitting in the living room chatting.  Melanie looks bored while Derwin chats it up with the in laws. Even Dr Barnett gets up and shows them his impersonation of Derwin’s end zone dance!  They are all having a good time when Melanie says that they haven’t asked her anything about what she’s doing. They ask her what is she up to and she tells them that she is the new president of the sunbeams. Only problem is they have no idea what a sunbeam is. Melanie then gets mad once again and says that she gets it. She gets that Derwin is the super star football player and that she is the boring housewife that never practiced medicine and there is nothing going on in her life. She then before storming out tells them that Derwin didn’t buy them all those things it was all her, “Dr. Melanie Barnett- Davis”!! * correct me if I’m wrong but where does she work? Isn’t Derwin the breadwinner and sole money maker? So wouldn’t that mean that he bought them all those things? I get her point though, it wasn’t his idea but it was his money*

At Tasha’s house… Jason has arrived and is on the phone with Brittany. He tells her that it is okay for her to come out because he’s there now. He jumps down Tasha’s throat for threatening to spank his kid. She tells him that she stole something of hers. When Jason asks what it is Brittany says that it is Tasha’s weed that she thinks she stole. Then tells Jason that Tasha is going through withdrawals and was tapping and scratching and stuff. Jason angrily asks why Tasha had drugs around his child and Tasha says that she has a license for it and that it’s for medicinal purposes. Jason says that he would call the cops and have her sent to jail but she would feel right at home. Tasha tries to plead her case that Brittany is the one who’s lying and stole her weed but  Jason calls her a pothead and leaves. Tasha then starts acting a little erratic saying that she needs her weed over and over getting louder each time.

At the Davis house… Mrs. Barnett is washing up the dishes when Melanie comes in and talks about how she is okay with not practicing medicine. She says that at times she wishes that she does but she loves Derwin more than medicine and she is completely committed to her marriage.  They share a heartfelt moment about how she gave up her dream to raise a family and help her children achieve their dreams.  When Melanie says that she supports Derwin and now her dream is to that they build his career and legacy and a family together. Melanie is talking about a family in the future but her mom thinks she is trying to tell them that she is pregnant now. By this time Derwin and Dr. Barnett come in but before Melanie can tell her mom that she means later not now her mom tells them that Melanie is pregnant.

At Jason’s house… Brittany is on the phone talking to her friend about Twilight when Jason comes in. She gets off the phone and he apologizes for leaving her with Tasha. As he tries to have a moment with her she is not even paying attention and is replying to text messages. As she tries to leave to go meet her friends at the mall Jason grabs her purse to stop her. He then grabs her purse off of her arm and goes through it. He finds Tasha’s weed! Brittany then acts as if she had no idea what it is and that she thought it was some incense or sage. Jason tells her to stop lying. She comes clean and says that she wasn’t going to use it but give it to a friend to sell for profit. Jason tells her that he can’t believe she had him defending her, she then quips back and says she’s trying to cope with having divorced parents. He tells her to sit down but she refuses.  He gives her a stern look and tells her to sit her ass down right now.  He then grabs all the clothes out of her closet and says that he’s getting rid of all of her skanky clothes and he’ll be damned if she’s gonna be walking around looking like a video hoe. They will now be joined at the hip. When she asked what he’s going to be about golfing and his show, he calls Chris Webber up thanks him for the opportunity but he quits the show and tells him that he has another job that he has to attend to. Brittany then seeing that he is serious, begs him not to go through with it.

At Malik’s estate… Malik is bowling with his maid Rosa. Tasha comes in and after spending the day with Brittany sees where she made mistakes and starts beating and chasing Malik around with the switch that she was going to beat Brittany with, ending this week’s episode.

This episode starts with Malik on the Monique show breaking down about his incident with the cops that lead him to rehab.  He’s talking about how he’s changed from the $80 million man to just plain ole Mr unbelievably wealthy. he also talks of doing what he needs to do for his probation and that he is in talks with Alfonso Ribeiro ( Carlton from Fresh Prince) about doing his own made for tv movie about his life. When she gets into his love life with super model Jenna Rice, the girl from rehab, Malik has a Tom Cruise moment and jumps up on the chair proclaiming his love for Jenna and how much he’s in love with her! Monique quickly tells him to get his ass down and that she is not Oprah and he damn sure isn’t Tom Cruise before going to a commercial.

later that evening… Malik and Jenna are out together being all smoochie. Jenna goes to the bathroom and over walks the Owner’s wife, Parker.  She talks of how malik seems to be glowing and how she saw them on the debut of the Monique show. she thinks that he should invite her to join some of their “festivities”.  He shoots her down by telling her that he recently went through a lot of things and that he is just not in that mental place anymore. Parker could care less about his mental place and that he needs to be make sure he is over at her place later tonight. Again, Malik tells her that he appreciates what she can do without her tonsils, and she then interrupts and adds without her uterus as well and that she can’t get pregnant, but he is not interested because he’s with Jenna and he doesn’t get down like that anymore. He tells her to leave, she does but with a smirk on her face like she is up to something.

At Derwin’s house… Tasha and some of the sunbeams are going through some fan mail for the guys, *why? I have no clue* Seems Derwin is getting mail from some female fans and Melanie is getting jealous because she’s used to him getting things from little kids and grandmothers.  When Tasha tells her not to worry about it she snaps at her that it’s easy for her to say because she’s dating a toddler (Dante) and that she only has to compete with Dora the Explorer. When a letter comes for Javon, Jaz says that she doesn’t care because as long as they satisfy their men in bed then they are good. The other ladies agree. Melanie then, a little embarrassed, says that she has no problem in that department and that they have sex regularly. Jaz then presses her about what they do like toys, threesomes etc. Melanie says that she doesn’t need another woman in bed to help satisfy Derwin. She the goes from saying that she is a great lover to a good one down to satisfying.

At a hotel on the Road… Melanie calls Derwin to talk to him after his big game. As they are conversing Derwin opens the door to his hotel room to find a groupie gymnast in lingerie sprawled out on the bed telling him that she has 73 other positions as well. Melanie hears her in the background and asks who she is. Derwin makes it clear that he is innocent and that he had nothing to do with the girl being in his room. Melanie of course believes him and has him put her on speaker phone. She then proceeds to tell the groupie off.  She then tells the girl to get out! After the girl leaves he tries to go on with the conversation only to find out that this happens to him all the time. she then gets off the phone with him because she is upset and disgusted because of the groupies.

At Malik’s room… As Malik is entering his room a teammate asks him to go to the strip club with him but he denies. He says that he’s just going to go and Skype with his girl Jenna and watch some Family Guy.  As he opens the door he find Parker laid out across his bed telling him to come over so she can smack that ass.

At Derwin’s house… Melanie calls Jaz over to ask her for some advice on how she can spice things up in the bedroom. She speaks of a threesome. Jaz thinks she is inviting her to join but Melanie is asking her about hooking her up with someone else. Jaz says that she can easily hook her up and keep it discreet.

Back in Malik’s hotel room… Malik is trying to get Parker to leave but she doesn’t want to. when he forcedly tells her that she needs to leave she reminds him of how she saved his career and criminal record by telling him to go to rehab and that she was the only one that had his back.  He tells her that he appreciates what she did but that he doesn’t owe her crap. She then walks over to the phone to call her husband (the owner) about what they have been doing but before she can finish dialing Malik tells her to go ahead and call but that her husband will Divorce her and that the prenuptial they signed more than likely has an infidelity clause in it and so she won’t get anything.  She angrily knocks the phone and lamp off the dresser and says that she’s pretty sure that her husband as well as the media won’t respond well to hearing that he raped her. She then proceeds to trash the room as she yells Rape!!! a housekeeper comes to the door to see if everything is alright as Parker sits back on the bed laughing. Once the housekeeper leaves she asks him who he’s gonna screw her or himself?

At a club… Jaz and Melanie are trying to pick out a girl for Melanie and Derwin to have a threesome with.  As Jaz leaves Melanie to go on the hunt. A young lady comes over to Melanie and starts up a conversation. She talks of how she saw Melanie and Derwin on the cover of Essence and that she is studying dentistry, she says this because Melanie is a “doctor”.  Melanie then awkwardly brings up that she doesn’t know how to ask for a threesome with her and her husband as she compliments the young lady’s ‘lickable’ lips. She then tells Melanie to just ask. After Melanie asks her she agrees. * I see all types of problems coming out of this, I mean toys are one thing but another chick into the situation can be a problem*

At Malik’s room… As he lays in bed with Parker he tries all he can not to make eye contact with her as she talks about getting ready for round three. He clearly looks distraught.

At Derwin’s house… Melanie has rose petals laid out as Derwin comes in.  He asks her what’s going on and she tells him to hush because tonight she is Madam Melanie and he is slave Derwin and will follow his orders as she slaps him across the face.  She then instructs him to take off all of his clothes and meet him upstairs

At Malik’s house… Malik returns home to find Jenna in his bedroom naked covered only by some balloons. She says that they are to celebrate his win and that he can have them or hers as she lets them rise to the ceiling to reveal her naked body. As they embrace she asks if he’s crying and he denies saying that he is just happy to see her.

Back in Derwin’s Bedroom… Derwin is tied up on the bed, arms spread. as Melanie blindfolds him she tells him not to talk but to relax, he will get his surprise soon enough. She then brings in the other young lady, takes a swig of alcohol from a flask and instructs the other girl to begin kissing Derwin on the chest but as she moves upwards to kiss his lips Melanie stops it and gives her a signal to leave the room. As they go downstairs out of earshot of Derwin, she tells her that she hasn’t done anything wrong but that she just isn’t ready for it and isn’t as open minded as she thought.  The girl understands and that if she changes her mind then to call her. Before she leaves she kisses a surprised Melanie on the lips. After getting over the initial shock she goes back upstairs and makes love to Derwin ending this week’s episode.

So this week’s episode opens with Kelly talking into her reality show camera about how bad it was being married to Jason. During her taping Jason comes in with Brittany. Kelly asks Brittany how her weekend was with her dad and Brittany tells her that she had to spend the weekend at Jason’s parents’ house instead of with him. He also served her with a cease and desist order because they have a confidentiality agreement so she can’t use his name on her train wreck of a show. She tells him that she plans to change her name to Kelly “Devereaux” *yeah as in Blanche Devereaux from one of my favorite shows of all time ‘Golden Girls’*. He then tells her that since the name of the show is ‘Ex baller’s Wives’ without him or her mentioning him she really doesn’t have a show as he walks out of the room laughing.

Back at rehab…  They are in the group session as Malik comes in and is ready to share. He comes up with a lame explanation for his addiction. According to him the instructions on the pain pills say take as needed, now on a good day he only needs 3-4 but on bad day 15-20. So now he wants to know what a good number between 4 and 20 is that won’t classify him as an addict. The doctor interrupts him and says that his definition of need is more mental than physical and that he is taking the pills are for both physical and emotional pain.  As the doctor is probing him to find out what may be his emotional hang ups Malik gets defensive and threatens to hurt him before leaving the room. Again.

At a listening party for Rapper Fabolous… Derwin, Melanie and Tasha are there working the crowd.  As they head to the bar they notice Kelly and her reality crew coming in.  She heads straight for Derwin and Tasha quickly shuts that down.  She is not going to let Derwin be a part of Kelly’s reality show mess.  As Tasha and Kelly go back and forth about it, Derwin sneaks off and goes to talk to Rapper Fabolous. Melanie tries to diffuse the situation between Tasha and Kelly by saying that Tasha is just trying to protect Derwin’s brand but Kelly just calls them jealous tramps and walks away. Melanie grabs Kelly’s arm and tells her that it’s been two weeks since that incident at the Sunbeams’ party and that they miss her. Even though she’s not a Sunbeam she’s still their friend. When Melanie goes to hug Kelly, she tells Melanie to go swab her illegitimate step son and stop running around caller herself a doctor because its just sad. She walks away only to come back and tell Tasha that it’s just a matter of time before Dante reaches puberty and dumps her just like Rick Fox did.

Back at Rehab… Malik is reading the newspaper when Jenna comes over to talk to him because she felt that he looked down and out and needed a friend to vent. He vented alright. He went off about everybody from coaches retiring to T.T. getting his own business to Tasha being with her man all the time to Derwin’s success.  He just feels like everyone used him to get where they are but when they got there they dumped him to the side.

Meanwhile back at the listening party… rapper Fabolous is on the stage performing his hit song “You be Killing em” and Kelly is talking to her producer and he asks her what happened with Derwin. She tells him that she can get him but that Tasha is blocking. He then tells her that the show is over because she can’t get any ballers on it, first Jason now Derwin. She tries desperately to call some guy she knew in high school that owns 4 Dairy Queens and a 5 minute care wash, but its a wrap and the camera crew leave. When the camera crew go to takes some shots of some girls dancing Kelly goes over and begins dancing with them. When this isn’t enough she pushes them aside and goes up onto the stage and begins grinding on Fabolous. Tasha and Kelly are in the back looking shocked!!

At Kelly’s house… She is on the phone with the producer and says that she doesn’t want to use the footage from her dancing with Fabolous because it makes her look like a whore. but when he says that it’s number one on some website then she’s all for it.  As she gets off the phone Jason walks in.  He shows her some photos of Brittany in a bikini that he found on the internet. He feels that her behavior is affecting their daughter’s behavior and if she doesn’t quit her pathetic show and change her ways then he’s taking Brittany from her and leaves. The next day Kelly is dressed very conservatively and is practicing what she will say to Brittany when Brittany comes in.  She says that they need to talk and she shows her the photos on her Facebook page and tells her that it is inappropriate behavior for a 13 year old.  Brittany says that it’s just a bikini and doesn’t seem to see the problem with it and asks her why she bought it for her if she didn’t want her to wear it.  Se tells Brittany that she doesn’t want her posting that kind of stuff on the internet. Brittany then asks her why not since she does it and is ‘the internet’s hottest booty’ and calls her a hypocrite. She tells Brittany that she is an adult and to go to her room. but Brittany tells her no. A shocked Kelly tells her to go to her room or else, Brittany interrupts and says or else what? Kelly clearly losing the upper hand just keeps repeating go to your room until Brittany finally gets up and goes.  *It is clear that Kelly has no control over Brittany and maybe it is best if she goes to be with Jason*

Back at Rehab… Jenna is reading a magazine when Malik comes over to chat.  She tells him that she was thinking about him and what he was saying about people starting their business and retiring. She feels that maybe they just getting lives of their own. She says that they are going to go home soon and that he needs to figure it out. She asks him what he expects them to do, he thinks that things were fine the way that they were.  She tells him about how change can be scary but life is going to go on with or without her, so he needs to get in the game and play.  He finally understands what she means.

At the Davis household… Derwin is doing the Jimmy Kimmel Live show and Tasha has come over to get Melanie so they can go to the taping when Kelly comes over. They tell her to leave but she asks for a truce and shows them the pictures of Brittany. The first thing Tasha says is to beat Brittany but of course Melanie feels like that is not the right thing to do and throws in a shot about how that may be how she went wrong with Malik. Melanie thinks that she should have put her in timeout. After seeing the pictures Melanie feels like a little beating my help.  Melanie then tells Kelly that it’s not her fault, but Tasha says that it is and the only way they can help Kelly is to tell her the truth.  She then breaks it down that instead of being out there shaking her ass and trying to do that reality show she should have been being a mother. She’s a horrible mother, but they can get through it. They feel that brittany may be just acting out because of the divorce and then Jason and Camille (Stacey Dash) breaking up. Together they can work things out.  Kelly then thanks them and hugs Melanie. She then tells Melanie that she hopes her story doesn’t turn out like hers. When Melanie questions her Kelly tells her to stop acting like she doesn’t have black women problems. *Da hell is black women problems?*

At T.T. Wing Truck… Malik shows up and after some small talk he actually apologizes about what happened between him and T.T.’s girl. They seems to forgive each other and he gives him some of his newest flavor called the “Wright wings” their extra spicy, they might burn you but they’ll always be on the menu.  As they are talking, Allison, the girl Malik slept with, comes from the back and asks what’s going on since the line isn’t moving. She sees Malik and then understands. Malik has a look of confusion but T.T. tells him that ‘the heart wants what the heart wants’,they shake hands and Malik walks away to give the wings to Jenna and opens the door for her as they pull off.

At the studio… As Jason is leaving he sees Kelly outside waiting for her. She tells him that she has quit her show and that she is just having a hard time moving on from her former life of the Sabres, Sunbeams and even Jason.  She tells him that they couldn’t fix their marriage but they can save their daughter so she wants Jason to take Brittany while she goes away to get herself together. After a few jokes he seriously tells her to take all the time she needs and to take care of herself ending this week’s episode.

This episode starts with Malik at the rehab center during a group therapy session.  As the others tell of their trials and tribulations with drugs and alcohol he is being rude and interrupting people.  The counselor asks him to share his story but he refuses and acts really hollywood towards everyone.

Meanwhile at Derwin’s house… Melanie is running a sunbeams meeting when Tasha interrupts to say that Rick Fox is calling her and that he didn’t dump her but they just grew apart like Brad (Pitt) and Jen (Aniston).  Melanie tries to continue with the meeting but Tasha keeps interrupting talking about how Rick keeps messaging her and wants to go out with her when he comes into town.  As they are talking Kelly walks in with her camera crew.  She wants to donate to Melanie’s charity of, check this, “hats for the hobos”.  as she is leaving she overhears them talking about something and decides to but in with her idea. Then Kelly and Tasha get into their little argument about Kelly being cheap and such.  They go back and forth a few times before begins to leave again. As she is leaving this time she overhears them planning for a girls’ night out and comes back again to join in, this time she sits down and stays.

At rehab… Malik is apologizing to one of the girls for his behavior at the group session earlier that day.  He says  that since he’s a celebrity they always try and give him all the attention. She’s not buying it and seems quite aggravated with him being around.  He then decides to let her in on a little secret. His secret is that he doesn’t have a problem and that he’s only there as a publicity stunt. As she walks away in disgust at his lack of trying the doctor comes up to him and tells him that he doesn’t feel that he is taking his recovery seriously and that he is hindering the other people from their recovery. He also informed him that he tested positive for Opiates as well on his admissions drug screening and that they are willing to help him but until he can at least admit to his problems then there is no sense in him being there. Malik then gets offended and thinks that they are kicking him out. The doctor reassures him that he is welcome to stay and that they are nit kicking him out but Malik walks off.  As Malik leaves the doctor tells him that their door will always be open for him.

At Tasha’s House… Dante is fixing the fireplace when Tasha is about to leave for the sunbeam’s girls’ night out.  In reality she is going to meet Rick Fox.

The sunbeam’s are at a club in VIP just enjoying some drinks and laughter when Kelly texts Melanie to say that she’s there as well. Melanie tells the other girls that she is going to tell her that they are in VIP and to come up but they stop her. They don’t want anything to do with her and her reality show. Melanie goes on about how Kelly was former president and their friend but it seems that the only friend she had was Melanie and the other girls couldn’t stand her. They tell her that as the new sunbeam president she has to enforce the rules that the sunbeams are only for current wives, girlfriends and designated baby mamas.  When she goes up to Kelly she tries to tell her but can’t and they end up joining the other girls as if the previous conversation never happened.

At a club… Malik is out of rehab and back to drinking and drugs again. As he is acting crazy popping pills and drinking he sees Derwin and Jason  come in. He is clearly still upset about Derwin not showing up at the press conference but his bodyguard calls him over. Malik then tells him to go get the car because he’s ready to go. Once Derwin comes over he asks where he was and the first thing they as him is why is he there. Malik tells them not to worry about why he’s there but the question is why he wasn’t at the press conference. Derwin says that he was meaning to talk to him about it. Jason tells him that he may want to try anger management once he’s done with rehab and that enrages Malik. He starts to push  Jason and Derwin around. Before they begin to square up to fight Jason grabs malik to calm him down and tell him that people are watching. He pushes Jason off and swings on Derwin.  Since Derwin isn’t drunk his reflexes are a bit faster and he punches Malik in the face first knocking him to the ground.  Jason and Derwin then carry malik’s unconscious body out of the club as they try and laugh it off as if it’s a joke for the people watching.

At the restaurant… Tasha orders another martini as she waits for Rick Fox to arrive but instead walks up Dante.  See apparently she turned her cell phone off so rick had to call the house to say that he couldn’t make it for dinner.  She says that it’s not what it looks like. She tries to explain by saying that she just wanted to show Rick that she had moved on. He says that she consistently underestimates him. Before he leaves he gives her back her house key saying that he no longer needs it.

At the Girls’ night out… The girls are getting sick of the cameras and all begin to leave. Melanie begs the last girl not to leave but she goes anyway leaving just her and Kelly in VIP.  Kelly laughs at how Melanie’s party was a bust and that she will get better at planning things sooner or later. Melanie gets mad and tells her that the alcohol is reserved for sunbeam members only and that Kelly is no longer a member.  Kelly says that Melanie doesn’t have to throw a tantrum about it. Melanie tells her the real reason people leave is because they are annoyed with her presence. She goes on to say that earlier she let it slide but now that she keeps showing up she looks pathetic and everyone thinks it. Kelly says that they should have the courage to say those things to her face and not behind her back. Melanie does just that. She looks Kelly right in the eyes and says that she thinks that she is hanging on to the sunbeams and the sabres and in some weird way Jason.  She tells her that she needs to move on.  Kelly then turns to the camera and says ” I guess Snooki was right. When you get famous some friends make the journey with you and some are so jealous that you gotta leave them behind”.  She then gets up and leaves.

In the club bathroom… Derwin and Jason are trying to wake up Malik. He is out cold. Derwin begins to worry about his career when all of a sudden Malik wakes up and jumps on Derwin from behind. Jason breaks them up and Derwin tells him that he didn’t show up at the press conference because it was between being there or having a career so he chose his career. Jason comes up with a plan to quietly get Malik back to rehab but he runs and hides in the bathroom stall.  They try to plead with him that if he doesn’t go to rehab then he will go to jail but he doesn’t care and says that he’s good.  Jason and Derwin tell him that they are his friends and will be there regardless but they are taking him back to rehab whether he wants to go or not.  Malik then decides to slowly come out and they drive him back to the rehab center. Malik walks in the door to check himself back in ending another episode for the week.

This episode opens with Tasha, Kelly and Med School throwing back some shots at Med school’s house.  she tells them about her situation and what’s going on with Derwin and the custody issue. She says she hates having to go to church and that derwin is in court everyday for hours. She goes on about how she feels bad for Derwin and how Janay has him jumping through hoops.  The then cut away to Janay’s house and show Derwin jumping through a hoop into the pool!

Later on… Derwin comes home looking all tired as if he has had a hard day at work.  She begins to massage his back and talks about how this whole thing is pissing her off. Then Derwin acts as if he is upset about it as well but says he has to deal with it.  She then asks him about taking DJ to Disneyland to see the light show. He says that he’ll ask her but it’s a delicate situation.

At a five star restaurant… Tasha is out to dinner with Dante. She begins to complain about wanting a new car and how she is going to trade in her car, break her lease on it and get a Maserati.  When he tries to politely talk to her about not having to spend money like crazy she becomes offended. And we all know that when Tasha gets offended she gets loud! She says that she’s rich and can spend money on whatever she wants. He calls her hood rich which offends her even more. She misses the point that just because she’s successful she doesn’t have to throw it in everyone’s face. She then comes back saying how she’s a baller and she doesn’t need anyone trying to put a cap on her balling! He then gets upset grabs the check and leaves.

At Janay’s house… Derwin is on the grill cooking up some hot dogs and steaks. They are trying to live the family life as she goes on about how she’s talked to his grandmother and she’s sending baby pics for DJ’s photo album. While they are joking on each other he asks her about taking DJ to Disneyland. She objects because she doesn’t want her child anywhere near Melanie. He then lies and says that she’ll be at a medical conference.  When Janay asks why since she’s not a real doctor, he kind of defends her and says that she is but just doesn’t practice and then they both start clowning on Melanie. Derwin seems to be going with whatever is popular. When with Melanie he talks about Janay and when with Janay he talks about Melanie. I need him to get it together.

Javon is at T.T.’s wing truck trying to get free wings by giving him an endorsement but T.T. passes.  Derwin walks up and orders some wings for him and Janay. He and Javon joke on each other as he and T.T. clown him about buying wings for Janay.  He insists that its just lunch and nothing more but they continue to ride him about it saying that he’s cheating on Melanie with Janay. He denies it and walks away.

At a restaurant… Melanie, Kelly and Tasha are having lunch just chit chatting. When the waiter comes to check on them Tasha orders a bottle of Cristal. Kelly asks what the occasion is and Tasha tells them of her new White on White  Maserati that she’s just bought. She bought it because Dante was trying to check her about her spending so she felt she had to check him back by spending twice as much. Yeah, genius move there… Melanie’s cell phone goes off and its Derwin. He gives her a list of things that he wants her to do. As Tasha makes fun of Melanie for being at Derwin’s beck and call she goes on about how she’s not going to have a man controlling her like that. Kelly chimes in and tells her that it has nothing to do with her balling and more about her running around flashing that she makes more money than him. Melanie then adds her two cents and tells Tasha that she needs to make Dante feel like he’s in control because that’s what she does with Derwin.  As they continue talking Kelly spots Janay walking in. Melanie says that she doesn’t want to see her and of course Tasha, to get even, calls Janay’s name out loud.  Melanie then has no choice but to go over and say hello.

Melanie goes on about how sorry she is and that she knew that Janay didn’t want to hear from her so that’s why she wrote her a letter. Janay ignores her and begins to look at the menu as Melanie walks off.  She then comes back to say thanks for letting them take DJ to Disneyland. Only problem is that remember Derwin said that she wouldn’t be there. Janay says that she said he would think about him going but definitely not with her. Melanie then tells Janay that it was her idea, but Janay says that he didn’t mention that she was going. Melanie gets all defensive and calls Janay a liar saying that Derwin has no reason to lie and that she’s the one dragging him to court everyday about their son.  Problem is that Janay and Derwin haven’t even been to court yet.  Janay then tells him about how Derwin has been at her house all this time and Melanie calls him crazy and walks away calling her a bitch.

Back at the Davis house… Derwin comes in from practice to find Melanie on the couch looking at her laptop. She asks him to catch a matinee the next day but he says that he can’t because he’ll be in court all day.  She then says that they can just download a movie instead and goes to show him the laptop. Instead of a movie choice for download she shows him a gossip site that has video of him swimming and playing with Janay and DJ.  He then says that he can explain but looks dumb faced.

At Tasha’s house… Dante is on the couch playing Halo: Reach. Tasha comes in with some dinner that she made instead of going out to buy.  He tells her that he’ll eat it as soon as he’s done with the game.  She gets pissed because he’s not paying attention to her or the food that she’s made.  She goes on about how she could have been out eating some surf and turf and having a $20 cocktail but instead she’s slaving over a stove so that he can save his little peanuts. After he chiding gets the best of him he gets up and puts her in her place. He says that first off his peanuts are not little and that his peanuts (money) is not the problem, it is hers. She needs to calm down, he goes on to tell her that she doesn’t need to jump up and down and be so loud all the time. Basically stop being so damned ghetto!! He tells her that she needs to turn it down a notch and that when you’re in a relationship and love someone then it can’t all be about her but about them. She then asks if he loves her and he says that he does and if he didn’t he wouldn’t put up with her.  As they hug she  asks him how he got to be so smart at 24. Yes 24!! isn’t that younger than Malik? I’m just sayin’ She then asks him to teach her how to play the game so that they can play it together. They then make up and he shows her how to play.

At Janay’s house… Derwin goes over to confront her about posting the video on the gossip website.  She did it to get back at Melanie. He tells her that he knows that she’s trying to break up his marriage.  She then poses the question to him of what is he trying to do? He’s trying to use her to portray this image of a happy family with the three of them and then go back home to his wife.  He says that he’s trying to keep both Janay and Melanie happy so that he can spend time with his son. She calls him on it and says that he can’t play the victim on this one.  She goes on to ask what she has done wrong beside falling in love with him.  She didn’t cheat on him or steal him away from Melanie and still tried to be civil after Melanie snuck the DNA test on their son.  He was using her to sell this fantasy world of a family so that he could get what he wanted.  Derwin apologizes and says that they should have gone to the lawyers in the beginning to work things out. He feels like crap and apologizes only for her to tell him that he is always sorry.

At Derwin’s house… As Derwin arrives home he finds Melanie in the Kitchen waiting. He begins to apologize and all she can worry about is whether or not he’s slept with her. he denies it. She tells him to grab a plate as she has cooked some Veal for dinner.  He cautiously grabs some food and sits at the table beside her.  She says that she has learned forgiveness while at church so she has to forgive him for his willful deceit and he has to forgive her for what she did. I don’t think it works that way. You can’t force someone to forgive you just because you forgave them for something else. That’s the only way they feel that their relationship will be able to move on and work.

At the Rehab clinic… Tasha goes to see Malik and sneaks him some wings. When he asks what she’s been up to she finally breaks down and tells him that she’s been seeing someone and that she may be in love. Ending another episode for the week.

This week’s episode starts off with Tasha fussing at her maid because she isn’t cleaning her bar b que grill correctly. As Tasha attempts to show her how it should be done, the maid turns the tv up and tells her that she may need to see this. When she turns to look she sees a press conference that the police dept is having about Malik’s arrest. Derwin sees the news as he is coming out of the shower and getting ready for the day. Jason also sees the press conference while at a bar.

At the owner’s office… Malik is in the office with the owner as they work on how to spin this story so that he can walk. the owner talked to their attorneys and he should be okay, just probation.  He also tells him not to say a word to anyone but of course Malik doesn’t here this because he’s tweeting “I’m free! Bastards!” The owner decides its best if he takes his phone. As Malik is leaving the room he runs into Jason in the hall.  Jason says that he’s concerned about Malik and wants an exclusive on the story.

Later at Malik’s house… Tasha shows up while he’s getting a massage to talk to him about his arrest. She thinks he should do some public opinion control.  He says that his people are already on it. As she goes on about ideas of ways to change his image or spin the story he  keeps saying that ‘his people’ have it. He then asks her if she has something to do for Derwin instead of being there. She reminds him that he fired her and hired a bunch of white folks to work for him. angry at her remark he tells her to go home. Before she leaves she reminds him that she’s here for him and that she will always put him first. As she’s leaving she runs into Derwin as he’s coming in to check on how Malik is doing.  She quickly tells him to leave before anyone sees him because being seen with Malik is bad for his image.

Later Malik is bowling once again with Javon as they discuss his situation. As they are joking  they see a news special about Malik. In the report Jason is in a jail cell talking about how that is where Malik is going to end up. After seeing the report he calls Jason and decides to do the exclusive story with him to clear his name even though the owner told him not to talk to the media.

At Derwin’s house… Derwin comes in to find Melanie going through a bunch of  gift bags from Derwin’s sponsors. She complained that he went over to Malik’s after they agreed that he would stay away until the scandal blows over. He tells her that Tasha stopped him at the door and that on his way home he kept getting calls form sponsors telling him to stay away from Malik or else.  All he was trying to do is be there for his friend. She reminds him that its not just about friendship its about business and he is a brand so they have to protect the brand.

At Malik’s house… The owner’s wife comes over to see him as he sits by the pool eating cereal and drinking Hennessey. She’s not here to be with him but to let him know that he’s in trouble and that the owner (her husband) and the team are going to screw him over. Their ‘plan’ is to just sit back and let him go to jail. There is a clause in his contract that states that if he goes to prison then they can release him without pay and replace him. Malik doesn’t want to believe it.  She suggests that he goes to rehab. If he goes before trial then maybe the judge will just give him probation.  He’s upset  and walks away throwing the bottle of Hennessey in the pool while proclaiming that he is not an addict.

On the set… Malik is  on the set with Jason as they talk about the incident. He then goes on to turn the incident into a race issue and claims that he was not drunk that night. He then goes off on a tirade and says since they want to abandon him then to hell with the media, to hell with his so called friends, his family and San Diego! Jason quickly calls for a cut to taping and tells him that if this airs then that will bury him and to watch what he’s saying. He thinks that he’s taking it too far. Malik tells him to go to hell and storms off the set.  The producer then asks Jason what he wants to do with the tape and he tells him to put it in the vault.

At Derwin’s house… Derwin and Melanie are watching last year’s playoffs on the new 3-d tv that a sponsor sent over when the phone rings, it’s Malik… He wants Derwin to be at the press conference that he’s holding so that it can help his image. Derwin lies and puts him on hold by saying that he has his grandmother on the other line. Melanie says that she’s prayed about it and she thinks that he should go there and be there for Malik.

At the press conference… Malik says that he is deeply sorry for his behavior and offers Officer Cook his sincerest apologies, he then admits that he has a drinking problem and is going to check himself into a rehab center. As he talks about the support of his family and friends, they pan over to Tasha and an empty seat where Derwin should have been. Derwin is at home during the press conference dressed and ready to go but doesn’t go. Malik continues that with the support of his family and friends that he will step away from football for now to get himself together. he leaves the podium, walks down and hugs Tasha as they walk off leaving the conference and ending the show for the week.

This episode opens with Malik at home with a bunch of strippers  dancing around/sleep/ laying out as a plate for his sushi.  Tasha Mack comes in harping because he missed a lunch with her and Derwin about a Ford campaign.. They were both there because they have assistants and Tasha feels that Malik needs one as well. Malik begs to differ and believes that he has an assistant, some girl he’s eating sushi off of.  Tasha says that she will find him an assistant but he feels that he’s a grown ass man and can do it on his own. After interviewing a few “candidates” he picks one based on her looks and the fact that she’s bisexual.

Later that day… Malik and Javon are bowling, his assistant comes in to bring him some movies which were the wrong ones, Tasha then comes in and says that she has been trying to call him all day but the girl aka i’gnant heffa keeps transferring her to his answering service. The problem is that he doesn’t have an answering service. She says that she is calling T.T. to train her but Malik says that T.T. is dead to him even though they have been best friends since they were 2. All he knows is that T.T. took the money that he gave him for his business and never looked back. Javon interjects and sticks up for T.T. saying that he was just looking out for his own well being. Tasha decides to call T.T. anyway.

At the Davis House… Melanie is having a meeting with the Sunbeams. She tells them about the charity event  that she will be hosting the next saturday. She will be the speaker to some at risk girls about her rise to success in the medical field. *is she serious? She didn’t even complete her residency! Child please…* Melanie is being really stuck up and snooty towards the other girls.

At Malik’s estate… T.T. is showing the new assistant the filing system that he uses for the movies. Since alphabetically gave Malik a nose bleed he uses the same system that NASA uses on dyslexic chimps. (Sad movies in blue, Angry movies in red, so if they make you happy they are in yellow) as he is going through the demonstration Malik comes in making wise cracks about T.T. smelling like Chicken. T.T. ignores the comments and continues to teach the new assistant the filing system. After the continued insults T.T. tells him that he needs to quit it and that he thought that by him coming to help the new assistant that it might spark some sort of apology out of Malik. Malik laughs it off and says that T.T. needs to apologize to him instead. T.T. decides to apologize. He apologizes for being such a loyal friend, for allowing him to screw him over time and time again since they were kids, and he’s sorry fof Malik having sex with his girlfriend in a hot tub. Malik’s dumbass then tells T.T. to come on over and give him a hug as if all is forgiven. I guess he didn’t catch the sarcasm. T.T. then reaches in his pocket and pulls out a roll of money and throw it at Malik. It’s all the money he loaned him for the wing truck plus interest. T.T. is done dealing with Malik. Malik is still being an asshole and says, that he’ll use it for toilet paper as he tosses the money to his assistant to put in the bathroom so that he can wipe his ass with it later. T.T. tells Malik that he is a real life pig as he turns and walks toward the door. *Was that the last we’ll see of T.T.? I hope not*

Back to Melanie… Melanie is sitting on the couch looking at  pictures of First Lady Michelle Obama and Justice Sonia Sotamayer on her Ipad as Derwin walks in.  She is working on her speech and begins to give Derwin a taste of it then she goes off on a tangent about how Jaz wanted to speak to the girls about the success she found after being in a rap video. Melanie is really showing her true uppity colors right now. She goes on about how she can’t be a role model for anyone because she was in a music video. When she asks Derwin if Jas is all that he kinda messes himself up by saying that if you’re into the whole exotic big butt big boobs type then yeah but clearly he isn’t because he’s with Melanie. *lmao now that made me laugh!* Melanie then reminds him that he did sleep with her. he weasles his way out of the situation but telling her to keep going with her presentation.

The Saturday of the event… Tasha and Melanie return to find Jaz setting up the food since Melanie put her on refreshment instead of letting her speak to the girls. She then has a fit/mini tantrum because of the food selection. Jaz has some ranch sunflower seeds, Now and Laters, Grape drink,  and pickles. Tasha’s Ghetto ass has no problem with the selection as she reaches for a pickle. Melanie tells her to have the chef bring out a plate of salad dressing and to grab some sparkling water from above the fridge. * Melanie is being a snobby little ass if you ask me.* As jaz is reaching for the sparkling water on top of the fridge Derwin walks into the kitchen. She asks him to hold the step ladder steady so that she doesn’t fall, he nervously agrees. As he’s holding the step ladder her butt is right in his face, Melanie walks in and sees this and when Derwin notices her he almost make Jaz fall as he tries to escape!

At Malik’s pool… Malik and Javon are enjoying the company of some ladies, well Javon is. Malik is still upset about what happened with T.T.  As he gets up to go inside he realizes that he watch is missing and frisks Javon and his little son *yes his little son is at the pool with them and a bunch of half naked women.* His assistant comes back and didn’t or couldn’t do half of the things that he asked her to do. He then says that he’s not sure whether it’s the new house or the new contract but he feels like he can’t trust anyone anymore and that he’s surrounded by takers. She then produces the watch  that he was missing and says that she found it in the elevator. he kicks her out as well.

At the charity event… Melanie is going through her slide show/presentation for the girls. She opens the floor up for questions from the girls. They begin to ask how much some of the things that she has costs and she says that she’s not sure but if they work hard they can one day afford stuff like that of their own. One young lady comes back at her and says that she didn’t work hard she just married a football player. Jaz is setting up the food for the girls when one of them recognizes her from a Neyo video that she did. She tells them that she was just acting and Melanie laughs it off saying that she would hardly call what she was doing acting. *Jaz is in the background looking like she could knock Melanie out!* The girls begin asking Jaz more questions instead of Melanie and it is clear that she is not happy about it. Melanie asks them if they want to know anything else about being a doctor but all they want to know is how is she a real doctor if she doesn’t even practice? Before she can answer one of the girls discovers the Ranch sunflower seeds and they all leave Melanie and gravitate towards the food. After the event the girls are lined up to get an autograph from Jaz and Melanie is pissed. She calls Jaz over to the side and asks her what the hell she’s doing. She tells her that she is leading the girls down the wrong path and how she has the girls thinking it is okay to sleep with everyone and shake their ass in music videos. Jaz asks if this is about Derwin which Melanie denies and says that she is making these girls think that objectifying themselves is the right path to go on. Jaz is quick witted as she compares the two paths. Melanie married a ball player, she married a ball player, she’s a sunbeam and Melanie is a sunbeam, only she’s sitting at the autograph table unlike Melanie. Jaz then calls her a fake insecure doctor that loves breaking down other women to build herself up. *Wow, Melanie needs to pick up her face!!* Tasha then comes behind Jaz and reads Melanie as well about how she treated Jaz and how her past is just, if not more, shady as Jaz’s.

At Malik’s house… Malik is in his strip club room getting drunk as one of the strippers dances on the stage for him. After taking another swig from his bottle he calls T.T. and tries to leave a message for him about him not refilling his prescriptions and how he should be thanking him for sleeping with his girlfriend but fails to do it correctly. When he tries again he gets a busy signal so he grabs his coat and keys and heads out to find T.T. *this cannot end well*

After the charity event… Melanie is having a debriefing after the event with the other sunbeams. she thinks that the event was a success. As they plan for the next event, spicing up their relationships, she asks for volunteers. When no one does she asks Jaz to show them some of her video moves as a way to kind of smooth things over with her.

In the car… Malik is driving and listening to some slow music when he gets pulled over by a cop. Malik hops out of the car and begins walking toward the cop who draws his gun when he sees this. He tells the officer that he is just looking for T.T.’s wing truck and to calm his ass down. The cop tells him that the truck is down by the fireworks show and tells him to get back in the car. He recognizes that Malik is drunk and has his do a breathalyser test. Malik says that he is  Malik El Debarge Wright and he’s not doing a breathalyser test. he begins to walk away because he doesn’t know what a breathalyser is and thinks its some kind of kinky sex thing. As the officer follows and grabs him he pushes the officer back so the office uses his taser gun on him dropping him to the ground and arresting him. The episode ends with pictures of Malik’s mugshot.

This episode picks up with Tasha at her car one night putting some tings in her trunk. Out of the blue Kelly shows up. As Tasha franticly tries to unlock her door Kelly quickly closes in.  with no other choice, Tasha pepper sprays Kelly but this has no effect as Kelly punches Tasha in the face knocking her out! Before she can hit the ground Tasha wakes up as she was only dreaming.  She decides to call Kelly and have a sit down with her. She apologizes for her behavior and blames it on a case of ‘ a black woman hating on a white woman’. *Her words, definitely not mine! She tries to sound all sincere but if this is the Tasha Mack that we all know she has a trick up her sleeve.* Kelly accepts her apology saying that ‘your people are very emotional but I accept your apology anyway.” They are only playing nice for the cameras but they really did make up.

At the Davis house… After Tasha and Kelly patch things up they head over to see Melanie during her ‘crisis’.  She doesn’t want the camera crew there but they came anyway.  Since they don’t have enough film on Kelly for the week they decide to all take their shirts off so that the camera can’t film them. *really? Really?* anyway she Melanie tells them that the test was wrong and that DJ really is Derwin’s baby. She looks to Kelly for answers for some odd reason.  They give her some bogus advice and then make fun of her.

After practice… Derwin and Malik are leaving the facility and are talking about the situation with him and the baby. Of course Malik has a few jokes . Jason sees them as he is leaving with his things at the same time. He tries to avoid them but there is no way so he just walks faster hoping that they don’t notice him. he stops and talks to them and lets them know that the Sabres have officially cut him. While Jason seems shocked both Malik and Derwin already knew and begin squabbling over what the day on the email about him getting cut said. Jason says that he’ll be okay because he was given a hosting spot on a sports talk show.

At the studio… Jason is doing his show as co host and has nothing but bad things to say about the organization. he is so mad at the organization that he starts to tell everything about them. Like Derwin’s tendency to favor a certain side because of a previous injury. They begin to prod him for more information so he begins to talk about Malik. Chris Webber, his co host tries to stop it but the other co host is eating it up and encourages him to spill more.

Back at the Davis house… Derwin arrives home from practice to find Melanie fixing the hole in the wall that he smashed in when finding out that the baby wasn’t his.  She then tells him that they need to talk.  he interrupts her and apologizes for taking his anger out on her and tells her that he is angry at Janay and not her. Melanie tries to cover for her because she knows the truth but just won’t tell him. He then tells Melanie that she just doesn’t get it because its not in her nature to be lying and deceiving.  *If only he knew* As they hug guess who knocks at the door with a large brown envelope? Yep, Janay!  Derwin goes to the door to answer it but before he can get there Melanie blurts out that she was too afraid to tell you that the test was wrong and that DJ is his son! Derwin has this puzzled look on his face and then goes over to the hole that she just patched up and punches it again.  He then opens the door for Janay and tells her that they need to talk because it’s been an mistake. She gives him the DNA results and says that she will see him in court for visitation and she wants to put him on child support. *way to go Melanie* Melanie keep saying how she wants to fix things ut Derwin tells her that she can’t because she’s the problem as he walks away.

Back at the studio… Jason is on the phone making a date and being just extra whoreish. Malik walks up and throws a handful of condoms at him. Seems that ever since Jason’s comments on air about how he’s having all this sex strangers on the street have been throwing them at him. Jason says that its just entertainment. They then realize that  all of this is because the Sabres let him go. Just Malik is actually give him a compliment and sort of a pep talk about the good years he put in playing ball and the money and accolades that he received Derwin comes up to tell them about his situation with Melanie, the DNA test and Janay. He says that they are over so the first thing Jason advises him to do is contact his divorce lawyer and financial advisor. Malik tells him not to listen to Jason and that he should have had DJ tested a long time ago. * I actually agree with Malik on this one. While I am not a fan of Melanie and I think that what she did is horrible, he should have had the boy tested a long time ago, like when he was born to prove to his wife that the baby was either his or not his.* Now he doesn’t know what to do.

At a club… The show is throwing a welcome party for Jason and Chris Webber is hosting.  The two are on stage and Jason decides to premiere a remix of his infamous “Dip and Pitts” dance. Chris tries to stop him but he does it anyway only embarrassing himself. After a while he realizes that he is  not getting the reaction that he wants and walks off the stage embarrassed.

At the Davis house… As Derwin is returning Melanie is leaving to go stay with Kelly for a few days because she knows that she really messed up and wants to give him some space.  Derwin stops her and says that he has been praying asking God for some answers on their marriage and the situation all day and has come to the conclusion that in order for it o work between them then she has to start doing some things his way.  He then tells her that he doesn’t want to hear another word from her about DJ or Janay and that she has to go to church every Sunday.  She then asks if they will be okay, his response is that all he can tell her is that he is here right now, as he grabs her bag and walk up stairs to end this week’s episode.
