Omar goes to Ro's place to check on the clothing samples and see what she's done with Raquel's place. The skirt samples hadn't come in, and she shoos him out of her place.
When Omar gets to the office, the temp assisting Felicia tells him Felicia has been trying to get him all morning. His phone had been on silent since his workout at the gym. He goes to see Felicia, who sends him off to run his staff meeting on his own without her there. Initially he's nervous, but the nervousness goes away as soon as he enters the room.
Meanwhile, Austin goes into the club office, where Terrance is working out. He asks about her father, but she doesn't want to talk about it. We learn she's a navy brat, and is living in a hotel.
Then dude who was trying to get Terrance to run a side business in his club goes to meet with Keisha's pastor (or former pastor). She tells him Malcolm needs to do something about Keisha being in prison. He then asks her if she's still running her laundering business through the church. SMH! She says no. Later he sets up a meeting with Terrance. He tells Terrance he'll give him the name of the person who snatched Raquel in exchange for Terrance doing something for him.
Back at the club, Terrance tries to get Austin to drink less by taking her glass and giving her water. But she just gets another glass from the waitress. Later, he finds her knocked out in the club's office. She's pretty intoxicated, so he has to drive her home. She invites him in, and he says he can come in for a little while. She passes out in her bathroom, and he picks her up and lays her in the bed. The show then starts playing this super melodramatic music. He then stays the night, orders her breakfast and tells her to wake up. He tells her to eat, shower, dress, and he'll be back to pick her up for some appointments they have. The appointments turn out to be an apartment search for Austin. Terrance tells her she needs a home, because she's sad and tries to drink away her blues. Austin doesn't take too kindly to that.
At the office, Ro and Omar disagree on whether the fashion line should have jeans. She gives up, signs the paperwork and storms off. Ro comes back to the office, and Omar has runway models in the office. Ro is not feeling the super skinny models. Omar calls her out on her behavior, and she says she just feels like she's trying to be something she's not. Omar tells her to just "lean into the lifestyle." And her mood completely changes.
Then Karen comes into Felicia's office calling Felicia a liar, because she didn't make Casey the lead singer of the group. Felicia tells her if she doesn't want Casey in the group, then go. Karen says she will when she's ready to. Later, Felicia calls Omar in to have him deal with Karen (when he first walks in she is on the phone telling someone April will be back from London eventually...we shall see...).
Ro takes Omar out to Oak. Austin goes to get them and invite them to a VIP section, but when Ro sees the ball player, Skip, from the last episode in VIP she turns away. Omar sees it as a chance for him to leave. Skip goes to speak to Ro, and starts to say he meant to call her, but Austin pulls her away and takes her to a different area to introduce her to someone. In the office, Austin tells her she needs to be done with Skip despite Ro claiming she still likes him. Then Ro ends up inviting Austin to move in with her. So they are the new Keisha and Raquel?!
And guess who makes an appearance, Keisha! She's still in county, and an inmate tells her she's going upstate b/c she has 5 years. Later in the episode, guards wake Keisha up and take her out of her cell. They won't tell her where they are taking her, and the other inmate tells her to drink a margarita for her. Keisha is allowed to take a shower, she has on a robe, and is told she has 40 minutes to get dressed. She has a dress, jewelry, a hat, heels and makeup laid out for her. When she comes out, the pastor is waiting for her. She tells Keisha there's a car waiting to take her to a private jet that will take her to Venezuela to be with Malcolm. She realizes the inmate knew all along. She then proclaims she still loves him and can't believe she has a chance to be with him...ummm...he was going to let you rot in prison if the pastor didn't do something about it. But I suppose she doesn't know that part. The pastor then tells her once she's gone, she has to be gone, because otherwise she could lead others to Malcolm. And with that, I guess she's officially off the show too, like Raquel and April?
That would explain why opening credits show pictures of Felicia, Ro, and Austin...and not Raquel, Keisha, and April. Interesting...
