The girls decide to take a self care retreat during the MLK weekend. Where better to do so than at than at Zoeys parents house. They are out skiing for the weekend so it's completely empty, and open for their use.

The girls walk into Zoey's parents house in awe.

"Ladies, welcome to serenity" Zoey smiles as they admire her childhood home.

"More like paradise" Junior smirks as her comes down the stairs in nothing but a robe and boxers. The girl over to him in shocked "M'lady" he gestures to towards Sky, in front of all the girls, kind of embarrassing Sky.

"What are you doing here? And why in the world did you not go skiing with the rest of the family?" Zoey groans to Junior as they all walk into the kitchen

"You may not realize it, Zoey, but it is exhausting being our baby brother's primary caregiver" He explains "Sometimes I need a break from skin-to-skin, and so does Devante" Junior finishes

"Whatever. Please just do not bother us this weekend" Zoey mutters to Junior.

"Okay, Zoey! I see you!" Jazz exclaims

"Come through, Johnson's! You know, I'm almost not mad at you for making us miss the Martin Luther King Parade for the first time in our lives" Sky comments

"So, I thought that you said you grew up wealthy, but I mean, are there floors even heated?" Nomi ignorantly comments. Jazz scoffs at her.

"Ladies! Welcome!" Junior greets. "Please, make yourselves at home. There are plenty of beds for everyone. I mean, obviously, you welcome to crash with me,-" he gestures to Sky. "-assuming that you're not allergic to spider silk." He states. All the girls look at Sky.

"Um... can I actually talk to you alone for a second?" Sky asks Junior. Zoey makes a face of discomfort, for them even having to go off and talk to each other. They go off into the other room.

"Junior. Sweet, sweet Junior. How do I say this gently?" She pauses. "You know, me and you, we shared one drunken, sweaty night on the dance floor, and you made it rain on me, but, uh that's pretty much where it ends" She tries to let him down easy. "You know, you're my girl's brother, and I just don't want this to become a 'thing'" She finishes

"Say no more. I can read between the lines" Junior starts

"Okay-" Sky says thinking he's done

"You're afraid I'll hurt you. Plus dating a single parent isn't for everyone" Junior adds, and makes a confused face

"You are not Devante's father!" Zoey states from the kitchen.

"Spider silk" Junior finishes by referencing his bed, if she of course, changes her mind. With the he walks up the stairs .

"I'm disturbed" Sky shakes her head and walks back into the kitchen.

"Okay. Yeah. It's all taken care of" Sky sighs as her tells the girls.
