Brooke and Maggie meet up with Jayda and Creep, and discuss how Brooke and Jayda's work affects their relationships. Jayda has just discovered that Jazz, her 18-year old mentee, has become an "exotic dancer". Jayda visits Jazz at a club and begs her to stop dancing. Jazz says it is hard to walk away from fast easy money, but promises Jayda she will try another job if Jayda finds something. Jayda lines up a job interview for Jazz but doesn't know if Jazz will keep her word. Meanwhile Jayda discovers that Aljahmeir's grades are slipping, and is deeply disappointed because she knows that academics are his ticket out of the hood. Jayda also feels that Creep is not living up to his full potential as a parent and grows unhappy with their relationship. Jayda and Creep visit Ron Christian for guidance. He counsels them about the importance of communication, and urges them to stay together for the sake of their children. Nicole, Maggie and Brooke's 18-year-old daughter, decides that she wants to pursue modeling, but Brooke is concerned that it will interfere with her education. They travel with her to New York where Nicole lands a modeling gig, but Brooke is ambivalent. Both Brooke and Maggie are upset that Nicole is leaving for college soon, and resent the time that she spends with her boyfriend, Justin. Maggie goes to visit Nicole while she is modeling at a trade show. Nicole is embarrassed by Maggie's visit, and Maggie responds by giving Nicole a dire prediction about her future with Justin.
