Walking through the mall, Chris is mobbed by fans and onlookers. He posed for several groups of people that asked for selfies with him. After thanking all of his fans and supporters present for their well wishes, Chris heads to high-end stores on the north side of Lenox Square. Luis was sliding his credit card like there was no tomorrow. Chris looked on as Anthony, Anna, and Kenneth were being showered with gifts. He began to wonder if this was how Luis maintained his control of them. Not wanting to question his long time friend in front of everyone, but after the cashier said the total out loud, Chris couldn't help but react.

.

Cashier: eleven thousand, six hundred forty-four dollars, and twenty-one cents. [looking over at Chris]

Chris: [chuckles] this is his treat.

Luis: black card it. [handing over his American Express Black Card]

Chris: [impressed by the Black Card and curious at the same time] doing big things.

Luis: [smiles and winks the cashier and then at Chris] I got lots of big things!

Cashier: [blushes as she hands Luis his credit card back] here's your massive receipt and your big card back.

Luis: [looks at her name tag and points at it] oh shit, are you the one with the good hair?

Cashier: [flinging her hair as she flirts with Luis and Chris] the great hair?

Luis: Okay, Re-beck-KA! [turns to Anna]

... y'all gonna thank Daddy later

Anna: si Papi si! [takes a few of the bags from Luis and hands them to Kenneth and Anthony]

Luis: now, let's go spoil my Godsons.

.

As they continued shopping, melting the plastic on Luis' credit cards. Chris questions Luis on the amount of money he's spending.

.

Chris: You know I love shopping as much as the next prince, but you're spending a lot of money here.

Luis: [giggles] I'm making 30 to 45 thousand a month.

Chris: [shocked] on OnlyFans?

Luis: yes, ma'am! [giggles]

Chris: bitch, shut up! [laughs loudly]

.

The entourage continues to blow money as if it were their jobs. When Keidrick finally found them, all eyes dart down to his colorful exposed PSD. Luis was grinning ear to ear as the thoughts of their first meeting filled his mind. To think, Keidrick was pretending not to be interested in boys, yet here he was walking around this mall with his ass hanging out. However, he did finally admit to Luis that he would use his "assets" to get the things he wanted.

.

.

Keidrick and Luis exchanged a long hug after dapping each other up. Luis' arm pulls Keidrick in close, and his hand slide down and slapped Keidrick on his plump booty.

.

.

Luis: damn, nigga! You just had to wear them colorful ass draws, knowing everybody wants summa dem tasty fruit loops.

Keidrick: [blushes and giggles] you want some?

Luis: [whispers] fuck yeah, I'll do that shit right here in front of everybody.

Keidrick: [giggles and blushes as he playfully pushes Luis away] ... I know you would nigga.

Chris: [clearing his throat] do you two need to go into a changing room or something?

Keidrick: [giggles, as he turns to Chris with his hand, extended for a handshake] don't this nasty motherfucker any ideas ... [playfully nudging Luis away]

... cause you know, he'll try it. But, anyway ... I heard about that shit in VA, how you doin'?

Chris: [making a face as he shakes his head] I don't want to talk about that, but I'm fully recovered. We're going to do a "Thank You" show at the end of the month.

Keidrick: Oh, that's what's up! I'mma have to get me some tickets.

Luis: damn, we you ain't tell me? [shaking his head at Chris]

Chris: I thought I did.

Luis: [rolls his eyes at Chris as he puts his arm around Keidrick and says full of excitement] HEY, guess what. [Keidrick shrugs his shoulders]

... I'm getting a place here.

Keidrick: oh fa reals? Me too! I'm working on this deal right now.

Luis: [smiles] alright, alright ... look at us, doing it big. [chuckles to himself]

... but then again we both like it big.

Keidrick: is that all you think bout?

Luis: you the one showing off all the breakfast. And breakfast is the most important meal of the day.

Keidrick: you hungry?

Luis: nigga, I'm starving!

.

Chris quietly walks away from Luis and Keidrick as they continue to flirt with each other. Taking a quick glance at Keidrick as Marshall follows him, the rest of the way out of the store. They head over to where Erica and Anna are playing with the twins, Chris lets everyone know that he ordered food from various restaurants. The entire entourage made their way through the mall, Chris signed a few more autographs on the way out.

MEANWHILE AT GIOVONNI'S HOUSE

.

Instead of driving to his mother's house, Clay pulls across the street to Giovonni's. When he gets inside, Giovonni looks at Clay with an extremely concerned look on his face.

.

Giovonni: thought you was going to see your moms?

Clay: look at this shit!

.

Clay hands his phone to Giovonni after opening the messages from Keidrick. When Giovonni reads the messages, his mouth drops after seeing what Keidrick had sent to Clay.

.

.

Giovonni: the FUCK? [gasping when he saw Keidrick's ass picture]

... that nigga gonna be trouble. [shaking his head and sighs heavily]

... umm, maybe, well. Maybe if you broke him off real quick like, he might ...

Clay: [cutting Giovonni off] no, no, nah man! Ain't happening. Cause if I do, then that nigga turn around and use that to blackmail me some more.

... why don't you do it? He loves him some big ass dicks, sure he'll go crazy for yours.

Giovonni: [laughs] ... but then that thirsty ass, greedy ass, blackmailing ass muthafucka gonna blackmail me.

Clay: maybe, Latroy will fuck him?

Giovonni: [laughs] nah, that bitch probably want the dick too.

Clay: [sighs] are you willing to pay him more?

Giovonni: [shaking his head] if I do, when will it stop? [puts his hand against Clay's chest]

... hear me out, hear me out. [clears his throat]

... he implying that he already messed with your brother, sooo ... [looks down at the picture once again]

... what if you get your brother to dick him down? [hands Clay his phone back]

... I mean he do got that Nicki booty from Anaconda.

Clay: nigga, I ain't pimping my brother out!

Giovonni: then you might be fucked!

Clay: [shaking his head] this gonna be a weird convo with my brother.

Giovonni: [inhales and exhales deeply] I know, but ... [walking over to get his daughter ready]

... I gotta go. [walks towards the door]

... drinks later?

Clay: maybe! [shrugs his shoulders and shakes his head]

Giovonni: I'll call you after I finish up at the studio.

Clay: iight later.

GIOVONNI DRIVES TO THE STUDIO

.

Giovonni had the arrangement to interview the next nanny together with his ex-girlfriend Rosalyn. She didn't want to do it at his house, so she agreed to meet him at the studio. When Giovonni arrives, Ashley's attention immediately goes to Gabby.

.

Ashley: oh my God, she's so gorgeous. [bends over to greet Gabriel]

... hi princess diva ... how are you, pretty girl. [Gabby gives Ashley a hug]

... [picking Gabby up and caresses her] oh my God, she so gorgeous. I want one!

.

Rosalyn comes walking in behind Ashley.

.

Rosalyn: well if you hanging round this ... you might end up with one since he can't keep it away from every girl he sees.

Ashley: [blushing] umm, no it's not, we're not. [giggles]

... no, no! [shaking her head]

Rosalyn: that's what I said. [taking Gabriel from Ashley]

... so where's this nanny we supposed to be interviewing together?

Ashley: they're in the conference room. [gesturing down the hall and turn to one of her assistants]

... Nicole, can you show her to the Raymond Room?

.

Giovonni and Rosalyn interview the three applicants vying for the position of Gabriel's nanny. Rosalyn wanted to pick the older Mexican women, while Giovonni wanted to pick the younger white women. The third applicant was a black man who was even younger the They ask all three to leave the room for a moment so they could argue in private.

.

Rosalyn: no fucking way, that Kylie looking bitch gonna be taking care of my daughter.

Giovonni: [rolling his eyes] that old lady barely speaks English.

Rosalyn: don't be racist nigga!

Giovonni: you literally just called the white lady a "Kylie looking bitch" and just called me a "nigga!"

Rosalyn: yeah, cause all you gonna be doing is tryna fuck her, and you is a nigga, a fucking cheating ass dirty one.

Giovonni: can you stop cussing round her like that.

Rosalyn: nigga please, as much as you curse in those songs of yours. [sucking her teeth as she rolls her eyes]

... then you want the guy to be the nanny? He obviously gay! But I guess you cool with them now, since you working with one and them videos of you out there.

Giovonni: don't, okay, just don't.

Rosalyn: I want [looks at the papers] ... Abuela Maria! You know she can cook, she got grandkids that's Gabby's age.

Giovonni: I want someone younger; Rachel got all the training you should want as Gabby's mother. [takes Rachel's resume from Rosalyn and reads off some of the listed qualifications]

... certified in first aid for kids! Certificate in early childhood education! And, AND, she speaks Spanish.

Rosalyn: FINE, fuck it! [throwing her hands up] Whatever ... bye, bye, Gabby.

.

After giving her daughter a hasty and cold-hearted goodbye, Rosalyn grabs her pocketbook and storms out of the conference room. Giovonni comes out to make his decision.

.

Giovonni: we couldn't agree on which one of you we want to hire, so I think that Gabby should make that choice, can you all show up tomorrow? [starts to write his address down on a blanks sheet of paper]

Rachel: um, I didn't think this would be some contest or game show, so I won't be taking part. I'm overqualified to have to compete against ... them. [turns to Maria and Domineke] ... No offense!

Domineke: then don't say offensive stuff, sweetie. [putting on his best fake smile possible]

Maria: yes, what he said! [Rachel collects her things and leaves]

... she no need the money?

Domineke: [chuckles at with Maria] I guess not ... [turns to Giovonni] is that more for us?

Giovonni: [laughs] yes, more for you both.

Maria: thank you, Señor. [placing her hand on her heart]

... see you tomorrow. [waving goodbye to Gabriel]

.

Giovonni thanks Maria and Domineke, before taking Gabriel and heading back home.

.

AFTER ARRIVING AT HIS MOTHER'S HOUSE

.

When Clay arrives, he finds Carl and a pretty girl with blonde hair wearing a UGA (University of Georgia Athens) t-shirt and short shorts. Clay gave her the once over, paying extra attention to her well-tanned body.

.

Girl [Sheryl]: [overly excited as she walks over and says with a thick southern accent] HI! You must be Clay. [gives Clay a tight hug]

Clay: [unsure on how to respond to this strange girl invading his personal space]

Carl: [chuckles] yup, that's him. Thought you forgot 'bout us?

Clay: [trying to pull away from the girl that still hadn't released him] umm ... [clears his throat]

... what you talking 'bout?

Girl [Sheryl]: [releasing him from her hug and puts her left arm around his waist] y'all both so muscular. [sniffs Clay's shirt]

... and smell so good. I'm Sheryl, by the way. [bubbly laugh]

Clay: [barely paying any attention to her] oh, nice to meet you. [walks to the kitchen and opens the fridge]

... mom said she had a pumpkin pie for the twins.

Sheryl: oh snap ... CARL! You said I could have it ... I'm soo sorry. I only had a small piece. I love pumpkin pie.

Clay: [sighs] it's fine. [looks at the pie and sees that a quarter of the pie is gone]

... [rolls his eyes and flicks the refrigerator door closed in frustration before calling out to Carl] ... hey Carl, can I speak to you for a minute?

Carl: [groans and shows how completely annoyed he was at his brother] what man?

Clay: a minute, I need to tell you something.

Carl: [when he grunts as he gets up, Sheryl begs him to tell Clay that she was sorry for eating the pie] he'll be iight!

... [starts to towards Clay and the kitchen, but when Clay uses his head to gesture for him to follow him] nigga, what you want?

Clay: just come on, unless you want to talk 'bout this with her here? [shows Carl the picture that Keidrick sent him, showing off his "assets"]

Carl: [pushes Clay towards the backdoor and outside] ... YO! The fuck you doin'?

Clay: this motherfucker tryna blackmail me into fucking him.

Carl: NIGGA! Why the fuck he tryna do that? When you started talking to him?

Clay: I needed something done, and he knows people.

Carl: whatchu need "done?"

Clay: that don't matter, but this nigga was talking about the "Carter" dick and how you know how his ass is or some shit like that.

Carl: [moves closer to Clay] what he say?

Clay: nothing, but I'm guessing Lou ain't the only one you did something with?

Carl: nigga, I ain't gay.

Clay: I ain't say that, but this nigga recorded me when I went to go see him at the hotel. Look at this. [showing the post on Keidrick's Instagram page]

... he at the mall with Chris and Lou.

Carl: what that gotta do with me?

Clay: cause he got dirt on me. Cause he tryna get me to fuck him, cause he keep talking 'bout you and the "Carter" dick. [sighs]

... I dun-wanna ask you this, but if you did before ... would ... you ...

Carl: [shoves Clay and gets loud] NIGGA! ... [lowers his voice] nigga, I know you ain't asking me to fuck that nigga for you!

Clay: [shaking his head] I'm sorry, I'm kinda desperate right now. I don't need Chris knowing 'bout shit.

Carl: Well, what you need him to do so bad, you over here tryna hoe my dick out.

Clay: Sorry, sorry. I'm stressing cause Chris already knows I was at the hotel. He just don't know why I was there. Now they're all at the mall together.

Carl: That bad, huh? [Clay nods his head] ... well ... [shaking his head]

... I know how that nigga is ... he got a video ... actually just the sound of me and him.

Clay: [shocked] what?

Carl: Yeah, I was drunk and high. He gave me some shit. [thinks about what he did to Luis]

... he gave me that shit that fucked me up when I ... [looks to me sure Sheryl or anyone was listening or watching them]

... fucked Lou ... and Clay, don't tell anyone, but I kinda ... um, I kinda forced Lou to do it.

Clay: oh fuck! Bruh, no. NOOO! Man. [shaking his head]

Carl: [putting his head down in shame] yeah! I fucking hate myself for it, cause I think the only reason he hasn't said shit 'bout it, is because he been wanting me to fuck him for a long ass time. So, I was tryna protect myself, I told him that next time, I'd make sure he enjoyed it. I been praying he doesn't try to say shit. But I heard he's doing porn, so nobody gonna believe him.

Clay: [sighs] I don't know 'bout that last part. But, don't worry. I'll handle this, forget I even brought it up. Promise me, not to tell nobody else what you just said.

Carl: trust. You ain't gotta worry 'bout that.

Clay: we gotta protect each other, iight.

.

After finishing his sentence, Clay hugs Carl. The two consoled each other, rubbing the other on his back. About thirty seconds later, Carl began to feel awkward and gently extends his forearm into Clay's chest.

.

Carl: iight, iight, enough of that.

Clay: [laughs] what you worried 'bout? Yo, who's the blonde pie eater?

Carl: [blushes] my new girl. She bad, right?

Clay: [nodding his head in approval] yeah, yeah, she is.

.

Once they go back inside, Clay heads to the room that was once his, and Carl takes Sheryl to his bedroom. Within twenty minutes, Clay began to the moans of a female. Shaking his head and laughing, Clay texts Carl.

.

Clay TEXTING: make sure YOU wrap it up bruh.

.

.

Clay texts Chris about the pumpkin pie he had for the boys. When he didn't get a response, he tries Luis. Luis doesn't reply either.

.

Clay TEXTING Chris: otw!

Clay TEXTING Luis: you round Chris?

.

Finally, Clay texts Giovonni. When he does, Giovonni replies to Clay's texts immediately

.

Clay TEXTING Giovonni: u home?

Giovonni TEXTING: yeah, sup?

Clay TEXTING: 'bout to call.

.

Clay calls Giovonni and tells him about the conversation he had with his brother. He also tells him that Keidrick has some kind of recording of Carl, but he doesn't say what it was.

.

Clay: [sighs] looks like I'mma have to fuck him to make him happy.

Giovonni: nah, man. Don't do that. He's one of them niggas that will never stop asking for more and more. Plus if he out there like that, who knows what the nasty motherfucker got?

Clay: [exhales deeply] I know, but how else we gonna get this shit done?

Giovonni: come over so we can talk 'bout it.

Clay: iight.

.

After ending the call with Clay, Giovonni goes Instagram to investigate who this Keidrick person is, using one of his fake profiles. When he finds Carl's profile through the people that Clay followers and scrolling through all the people that follow Carl. Giovonni finally find Keidrick after five minutes of snooping. He sees the pictures of weed, expensive cars, designer labels, and a few photos and videos of himself.

.

Giovonni: [shaking his head] this nigga got a fat ass, fa real. Clay gonna destroy this motherfucker.

.

As he drove, Clay shook his head in disbelief about Carl admitting he forced Luis to have sex with him.

.

Clay: nah, bro. Why? Why, would you do that shit to your boy? [pounds the center console]

... fuck man.
