Drake hopped out of his seat as if he saw a ghost; he clearly knows Marcel and his connection to Joey. I would be running like a white ghost if I were him.
Donnell and Vanessa are driving themselves crazy over Douglas' last moments (or what they believe them to be). My heart breaks for them as Joey looks on without a single care for what they are obviously going through.
Bradley does not want the deadbeat to turn himself in, but maybe that is what he should be doing. The right thing after all.
Not Dani and Nicole mocking Dani's liking of alcohol and the impulsive decisions that come with that. Hilarious.
Poor Vanessa... she is driving herself absolutely mad, between the guilt over her final phone conversation with Douglas and the grief she is experiencing over losing her high school sweetheart and father of her children. The poor woman.
Nicole needs to be honest with herself: yes, she is feeling some feelings for Carlton, but deep down she is still desiring a relationship with Ted, her husband.
I can appreciate Bradley wanting to fight for his marriage, even though I do believe he deserves better. But if deadbeat wants to turn himself in, then let him do it. He is adamant about it. Free yourself of that misery.
Well, there goes Joey, swooping right in to whisk Vanessa away ahead of Drake's arrival. You are not slick, Joey.
Drake is trying to set up his exit alibi, but Joey is about to leave him out to hang high and dry.
Donnell is on Drake's neck and he is not loosening the pressure.
Not Donnell and Jacob walking in on Joey and Vanessa... I can guarantee this is going to be messy, messy, messy, and I cannot wait for it!
Notes:
Lauren Buglioli (Vanessa) and Alex Cheeks (Donnell) win it again for me. Both individually and collectively. They are putting the work in.
Karla Mosley (Dani) brings a smile to my face when she is able to truly be playful with the scripts.
