The episode opens to the outside of Hadrian and Zenoās apartment. A white Honda Civic can be seen pulling up into the parking lot in front of the apartment. Hadrian, in a windbreaker and grey sweatpants, heads out from the inside towards the vehicle. As the vehicle goes to a complete stop into the parking space and turns off, the door opens to reveal Hadrianās mother, Fatima.
FATIMA MOORE-CHILES: Hey, pooh bear!
Hadrian goes up to hug his mother.
HADRIAN ALI: *laughs* Hey, mama.
CONFESSIONAL CAM
HADRIAN ALI: So since my momma is staying in Atlanta this weekend for my gymās grand opening, she wanted to come and check out my apartment. Also to talk, since we havenāt in a long time.
Scene goes back to Hadrian, who opens the door for his mother as she enters his brightly lit apartment, observing.
HADRIAN ALI: Come on in!
FATIMA MOORE-CHILES: Oh, so this is your home? Iām surprised that you manage to keep it clean. You use to never clean up after yourself.
HADRIAN ALI: *chuckles* I try to.
FATIMA MOORE-CHILES: So where is Trazeno?
HADRIAN ALI: Heās out doing some modeling.
FATIMA MOORE-CHILES: Oh heās a model?
HADRIAN ALI: Yeah, he is.
HADRIAN ALI: So how you been, mama?
FATIMA MOORE-CHILES: *sighs* Doing fine. Iām getting close to retiring in 2 months.
HADRIAN ALI: Oh, forreal?
FATIMA MOORE-CHILES: Itās about time. Iāve done enough of handling cases. I need to branch further into doing more for the community.
HADRIAN ALI: Like what?
FATIMA MOORE-CHILES: I donāt know. Something like creating my own workshop to help people in our communities plant our own foods, or grow our own plants. Maybe have a greenhouse built.
HADRIAN ALI: Yeah, youāve always been a plant person.
FATIMA MOORE-CHILES: Ever since you were a baby.
HADRIAN ALI: Ah yeah. So you want something to drink?
FATIMA MOORE-CHILES: A bottle of water would be nice. Thank you.
Hadrian heads to the refrigerator to search for a bottle of water at the bottom shelf. He finds one, twisting the bottle cap to ease the need for strength from his mother, while his mother did the rest.
FATIMA MOORE-CHILES: Thank you, baby. So are you doin ok?
HADRIAN ALI: Iām doin good. Why you ask?
FATIMA MOORE-CHILES: Just making sure that you are holding up.
HADRIAN ALI: Yeah, Iām good.
FATIMA MOORE-CHILES: No, youāre not. What is it?
CONFESSIONAL CAM
HADRIAN ALI: So both Jae and Blair have been missing since last season and I donāt know anywhere they could be. I went to Jaeās apartment and he wasnāt there. I asked Blairās ex, and she said that she aināt heard from him in months.
Hadrian sighs as the scene goes back to Hadrianās home.
HADRIAN ALI: I left Jae plenty of messages and he aināt call back.
FATIMA MOORE-CHILES: Have you heard from your father and asked him where they could be.
HADRIAN ALI: Iāve called him for weeks.
FATIMA MOORE-CHILES: You mean heās not answering?
HADRIAN ALI: No, but his wife does. She asked me to check up on everythang.
Fatima shakes her head in disappointment.
HADRIAN ALI: He donāt even care about his kids like that, mane.
FATIMA MOORE-CHILES: Itās not my business to speak on the relationship between you and your father, because what have I always told you?
HADRIAN ALI: To find out on your own and establish my own relationship wit him?
FATIMA MOORE-CHILES: Of course.
HADRIAN ALI: I have been. Heās the one that hasnāt been answering the calls.
Fatima shakes her head once more as she moves from the bar to the couch with her purse and bottle of water at hand. Hadrian following after her.
HADRIAN ALI: But itās less on the relationship with me and him, because I was done with him a long time ago. I just wanted to be there for my brothers. I already felt like I didnāt before. I couldnāt just leave them hanging after what they went through. I had to make up for it. I felt like I could have done more for them before this happened though.
FATIMA MOORE-CHILES: No, Hadi. Itās not your fault.
HADRIAN ALI: I mean, I felt like I could have done somethin though. Kept them in check. Helped them out.
FATIMA MOORE-CHILES: Youāve been working on your own life as it is, so I understand how you feel, but donāt blame yourself for anything involving your brothers. Theyāll come around. Just donāt feel bad about yourself for putting yourself forward. Youāve been busy. Speaking of which, you have your own gym now. Youāve spent a very long time getting to this point and you finally made it. I spoke to you before about being incredibly proud of you, and I just want to say it again. My little boy being an entrepreneur.
HADRIAN ALI: Thanks, mama.
Hadrian goes to hug his mother before the scene fades and cuts to a somewhat populated basketball court of about 3 full courts near downtown Atlanta area. The yelling and communication of men between the full court games are what is seen before the camera cuts into Lio Espinada bringing the ball up the court. He points out to a teammate on the wing telling him to cut to the basket without speaking in his broken English. The teammate follows instruction and catches a lightning quick pass from Lio for the layup. Some of the guys in the area āooohā at the precision of the pass while Lio hops back to the other end of the court feeling himself a little getting a couple low fives from his teammates.
CONFESSIONAL CAM
LIO ESPINADA: I love ball. Es favorite game. I grew up futbol but once introduce basketball Lion learned quick. I enjoy ankle breaking.
Another innocent smile followed by his light chuckle before the scene heads back to the game where he is doing exactly that, breaking a few ankles and passing a few more dimes until the game-ending win for his team comes with a dish to his teammate on the wing hitting from three-point range to end the game. The 10 men break apart to the benches and bleachers all around the court while Lio takes his shirt off to drink a lot of his gallon of water. Soon enough a call comes through and his ringer heard from his small gym bag. He walks over to grab it with a smile.
LIO ESPINADA: MelMels?
He smiles a little more hearing that tone he loves so much before the camera cuts.
CONFESSIONAL CAM
LIO ESPINADA: My girlfriend I talk everyday when can. We both heavy work so itās always nice to hear voice.
He throws up a 5 at the guys before moving a little more off the court toward the grassy area to hold his conversation before it cuts back to the confessional cam.
LIO ESPINADA: There been time where she not feel confident about me do this. I tell her itās good to get out there meet and network. I work for one of best places in Quag Inc but never one not take opportunity eh? So I show her through action she focus of my life and love her dearly. Plus, I not messy guy I like everyone happy. Most all Mel happy. She happy. I happy. Never like being away from her but is good for business in the end.
The camera cut as heās still holding his conversation on the phone as the men are gathering back on the court to shoot around. The next scene opens inside of a small dance studio. Several people are shown seated indian style around a girl.in the middle. Cameras pan in to reveal Dy'Mand Moore voguing. The people surrounding her clap and chant as she vogues to the beat.she falls into w death drop . One of the people jump and and goes to stop the music. Dy'Mand lays out of breath on the floor with a wide grin on her face
CONFESSIONAL CAM
DY'MAND MOORE: I absolutely love to Vogue! Back in the day I was at every function. Snatching trophies. I lived for the ballroom scene. I'm not so much into it as I used to be. But I still have my house children. My kiddies! My two dawtas Mulan and Haha. That' bond we have, we'll will always have. So from time to time we all link up, order food. And just vogue down like the old days. I love catching up with them.
HAHA DIORE: Yes Ma'am! You still got it!
DY'MAND MOORE: I keep telling you! It never goes away daughtaā. Once a voguing divaā¦ always a vioguing diva!
HAHA DIORE: Yea I know. It's been ages since we seen our voguing diva at one of the balls!
The circle nods and chimes in agreement
MULAN EBONY: Girl yes! She's very busy now.mommy dearest is out hobnobbing with the stars!
Everyone chuckles
DY'MAND MOORE: Oh stop! I'm just chasing this dream!
HAHA DIORE: We know ma! We're just messing with you.
MULAN EBONY: Yea just messing with you. We just miss you is all.
DY'MAND MOORE: It had definitely been a while since I have really just kicked it with my family. These good are all I have to be honest. Some nights those guys slept out in my truck with me. But we've all been chasing a dream and trying to be better people. There is such a negative view on trans woman, even within our community. Everyone thinks we're one thing. We're all one way. But me and my girls are fighting everyday to shown people that there are real girls like us who live real lives. Whether they be regular or spectacular. But it's not just the one life everyone thinks we live. I admit that us chasing our dreams has kept us apart. But I feel like the bigger picture makes it all worth it. And the times we get together are absolutely the best! We treasure them more.
The scene fades back to the group.
DY'MAND MOORE: I've really missed you guys too. But I'm so glad to see you guys are all doing so well.! Haha! You're modeling now! I saw your spread when I was onInstagram. and Mulan! You finally got your license! You finished beauty school! Pretty soon you'll have your own salon! Especially if I have anything to do with it!
She pauses, looking at the two before pulling them into a hug,
DY'MAND MOORE: Y'all know sometimes I feel like I really pushed y'all out of me.
HAHA DIORE: Oh I know.sometimes you give naggy teas.
MULAN EBONY: okurr!
DYāMAND MOORE:Wow! That's how you really feel!?
MULAN EBONY: But we love you ma!
HAHA DIORE: Yeah girl. Its a mother's job to nag. Just means you're doing it right.
DY'MAND MOORE: that's right! I love my kids. I gotta be hard in y'all. I just wanna see the best for y'all. Girls we all had it rough. Now look at us. We got a lot to be proud of.
HAHA DIORE: I know that's right mama.
MULAN EBONY: So tell us what it was like meeting Trinity! I saw y'all all over Instagram together! Kekeing!
HAHA DIORE: Gurl I love her! I am addicted to Star just because of her!
MULAN EBONY:so what's the like?
HAHA DIORE: Yas girl tell us!
DY'MAND MOORE: She's really sweet. Even I was surprised at how nice she was. She's honestly just a regular woman. Who just happened to be doing some big things! When we're hanging out I don't feel like it's with Trinity the celebrity. It's just Trinity my homegirl.
HAHA DIORE: I have to meet her
MULAN EBONY: Yass that would be life!
DY'MAND MOORE: I was actually going to ask her to be on the panel at our seminar next month.
MULAN EBONY: Do you think she'd do that?
DY'MAND MOORE: I won't know until I ask.
DY'MAND MOORE: So,next month I'm gonna be hosting an awareness panel to kinda bring to the light some of the issues that people still don't seem to get that women of trans experience face every single day. The death rates only climb higher and higher. And at the rate things are going. Well be wiped out pretty soon. It saddens me that people can't just understand that we're human. We love just like you. Hurt just like you. We're the same. And until my dying day I'm gonna fight for equality and basic human rights for trans women.i wanted to ask Trinity to be on the panel because I feel !like it would bring in a crowd. And she lives and breaths what we face daily. I'm hoping she would want to do it.
the scene fades back to the group.
DY'MAND MOORE: I'm actually going to some big wig launch with her tonight. One of her friends has their own hair line. Maybe I'll Bring it up before we get there.But I've rested enough now. Let's go! Pump those beats back. Didn't we come to Vogue?
HAHA DIORE: Yasssssssss let's do this..
Mulan jumps up and runs back to the stereo and starts the beat. The group all begin dancing and voguing as the scene fades and reopens at Dance Evolution, a local dance studio down Atlanta. The scene shows Chase inside dancing to Walk It Like You Talk it By Migos, wearing a pair of shorts and a Tommy Hilfiger crop, he busts a few more moves before stopping, the other classmates in the room cheer him on.
CHASE LIU: Thank yāall.
Chase smiles he walks over the chair and sits down.
INSTRUCTOR: Another great class today you guy, Iām very proud. Weāll meet back here on Thursday at the same time.
CONFESSIONAL CAM
CHASE LIU: Iāve been dancing since I was a child, I wouldnāt say it was a passion but it was always something I liked to do and plus it was a great way for me to stay in shape. Since Iāve moved to Atlanta Iāve tried to venture out and do different stuff, I wasnāt the type to just sit around and let life pass me by.
Chase smiles.
CHASE LIU: Dance practice was over and Jaser had text me telling me he was on his way over. After those flowers he got me Iām trying to play hard to get but he makes it hard. Iām still holding off but time will tell, and so far Iām liking everything.
The scene cuts back to Chase and the dance studio, the instructor and the rest of the classmates make their exit, Jaser is shown making his way up the long stairwell and into the actual dance room.
CHASE LIU: Thanks for meeting me here, you said you wanted to learn who I was so this is me, some days.
Chase smiles.
CHASE LIU: One of these days you should come with me, I see yo ass dancing all the time in those videos online, you got some moves.
Jaser blushes
JASER CRUZ: Think so? Thanks, I use to watch my cousins dance and would go to their practices and just picked up on it. Got older started to take classes myself. I only stopped once I got into wrestling at 16 but itās still fun to do here and there.
CHASE LIU: I like it, it helps me get away from the bad that I deal with sometimes.
CONFESSIONAL CAM
CHASE LIU: There were things that Jaser still didnāt know about me and I wasnāt sure if he would understand. Iāve dealt with some things in my life just from growing up and watching what was going on around me, trust me I was very attentive as a child and as I grew into adulthood.
Chase shrugs his shoulders, taking a minute to himself, he lets out a small sigh and the scene cuts back to the two.
CHASE LIU: But thatās another story for another day, so whatās on the agenda for today?
JASER CRUZ: Well we can go hit up Vortex in Little 5 points and eat or whatever else you wanna do.
Jaser gets a text and chuckles as he reads it.
JASER CRUZ: Or we could go to this tonight if youāre down.
Jaser shows Chase the text.
CHASE LIU: So Chanel is having a party and invited you?
JASER CRUZ: Yea, Iām going only if you will go with me.
CHASE LIU: I will, I just donāt want the drama especially since yāall had issues in the past.
JASER CRUZ: We good love, I like this Chanel, the old one not so much.
The two laugh and continue talking as the scene fades and reopens up inside of Miles apartment, Miles is shown laying a couple outfits across the bed trying to figure out what he was going to wear to a party he was invited to. He walks over to his walk-in closet and pulls out another outfit with the tags still attached.
MILES BALENCIAGA: Damn, I havenāt even worn these.
CONFESSIONAL CAM
MILES BALENCIAGA: I hate being one of the top socialites in Atlanta, having that title really drives me bonkers at times. Iām always invited to the parties and everyone always wants to take a picture or have some sort of interaction with.
Miles sigh sarcastically.
MILES BALENCIAGA: But thatās what happens when your the top dog in the park. Anyway my friend Giovanni was back in Atlanta for a few months, after the bullshit that happened last year with him, I donāt blame him wanting to leave and get away from this place but heās back and Iām so happy to have him here. I told him to pop up so he could help me decide what to wear and so I could catch him up wit whatās been going on in Atlanta.
The scene cuts back to Miles still standing in his closet, he hears a familiar voice yelling his name from the hallway and he smiles as he rushes out of the closet.
GIOVANNI WESTON: I see my key still works.
Giovanni laughs grabbing ahold of Miles, the two share a hug before sitting down on the chairs in the bedroom next to the main hall.
MILES BALENCIAGA: Oh My God what took you so long to get back to me? Atlanta has been so boring without you.
CONFESSIONAL CAM
GIOVANNI WESTON: No shade after that bullshit that went down with Isaiah last year, I needed to get far away from Atlanta. So I decided to go to Jersey and visit my family there and I had a good summer, but Iām back home in Atlanta, back to reality and Iām sure back to the bullshit.
The scene cuts back to Giovanni and Miles.
GIOVANNI WESTON: Well Iām back now so fill me in on whatās been going on in fake Hollywood.
MILES BALENCIAGA: To be honest itās been quiet and Iām surprised. I havenāt really been in the streets as much as I would like to but thatās because work has been keeping me very busy, but I did notice we had some new faces in the group, people Iāve never met or heard of.
GIOVANNI WESTON: That's always nice.
MILES BALENCIAGA: And word on the street is that your ex has been seen hanging out with Trapp a lot.
Giovanni laughs.
GIOVANNI WESTON: Desperate much? I thought he was with Jalen.
MILES BALENCIAGA: Yes love you have been gone for quite some time, a lot of stuff has changed but supposedly they called it quits the last time we were altogether.
GIOVANNI WESTON: That's interesting, well of what your saying is true then good luck to them but Iāve moved on, Iām not worried about a boy.
MILES BALENCIAGA: Well let's hope not, itās to many fine single men in Atlanta for you to be worried about some pass around. Thereās a couple events happening this week so maybe I should bring you with me, you know reintroduce you back to the scene.
GIOVANNI WESTON: Uhhh I donāt know.
CONFESSIONAL CAM
GIOVANNI WESTON: I donāt know if I was ready to be reintroduced back to the scene, I really didnāt want people to know I was back. And after hearing that Isaiah and Trapp might be hooking up that would be weird.
Giovanni shrugs.
GIOVANNI WESTON: Oh well, guess I have to deal with it if itās thrown in my face.
The scene cuts back to Giovanni and Miles.
MILES BALENCIAGA: Well come to at least one of them with me, I donāt think Isaiah will be there so you wouldnāt have to worry about any pop ups.
GIOVANNI WESTON: Itās not the pop ups that Iām worried about, Iāve been doing so good with keeping myself out of the drama that I think being around the group again will only set me back.
MILES BALENCIAGA: Just think about it.
CONFESSIONAL CAM
MILES BALENCIAGA: I donāt think it was even that serious, the only issue Giovanni had was with Isaiah and their not even together anymore. I donāt know what Giovanni problem was but he needed to get it together, he wasnāt about to come back home and just sit in the house, nope not on my watch.
The scene cuts back to Miles and Giovanni, the two make their way into the main sitting area where Miles starts showing Giovanni the clothes he picked out.
GIOVANNI WESTON: I donāt know why you wonāt just pick one, it looks like the tags are still on them so itās not like the clothes has been worn or seen by the general public.
MILES BALENCIAGA: Yes I understand that but when I make appearances at these little events I need jaws to drop and people to talk.
GIOVANNI WESTON: As always.
MILES BALENCIAGA: I may go with the Versace, itās screams money and class, two things that describes me.
Miles giggles as he lays the Versace outfit out in front of him. The two continue to talk as the scene fades and reopens on the outside of the venue of Chanel's wig launch. A 2018 Mercedes-Benz E-Class Coupe is shown pulling into one of the parking spaces. As the car comes to a stop, Prynceton is shown climbing out of the driver's seat. He makes his way into the front entrance and look around the view. Bartenders are shown walking around offering glasses of wine. Prynceton takes a glass and thanks the bartender and begins searching for Dallas
CONFESSIONAL CAM
PRYNCETON WELLS: I promised Dallas that i would meet him at this event. It's probably gonna be a lil rough on him cuz it's the first time he's really been around this circle in a minute. I don't really know any of the people that's supposed to be here. But if I'm rocking with Dallas, I'm gonna have to be around them eventually. So why not now?
The scene returns to the venue. Prynceton sports Dallas and walks up to him, wrapping his arms around him.
DALLAS REED:You made it!
PRYNCETON WELLS:I told you I'd be here. I wouldn't leave you hanging D. You know that
CONFESSIONAL CAM
DALLAS REED: So the time has come for me to kinda see everybody that I haven't been around these past couple months. And I know some of them aren't really gonna be too happy to see me. And I'm kinda hoping that we can all sit down and resolve shit forreal and just try to move on. But I don't really know if tonight is the night to be tryna do anything. Everybody is here to support my girl Chanel. And that's what I'm really here for
The scene returns to the venue. Dallas happens to catch Chanel breezing by and quickly grabs her attention.
DALLAS REED: Aye what's good ma!? I wanna formally intro you to Prynceton. I know yall met before but that was through madness.
CONFESSIONAL CAM
DALLAS REED:Chanel actually was the one who called Prynce when i got admitted into rehab. They came together along with trinity to help get me through it all. So I wanted to introduce them properly.
CHANEL SNOW:Oh hey cutie!
The two hug
CHANEL SNOW: It's good to see you too Prynceton. Thanks for coming.
PRYNCETON WELLS: Oh it's all good. I know I wasn't on the official invite list. But, Dallas said you wouldn't mind me coming through.
CHANEL SNOW: Of course. The more the merrier! I know you may not wear wigs but look around. Drop a donation. We welcome those two.
PRYNCETON WELLS: Oh I see you! Absolutely! I can make that happen. Good seeing you again.
PRYNCETON WELLS: I've only ever met channel through Dallas. And it's always been good vibes. I mean everybody see the shit she go through on social media but she ain't never disrespected me so I'm glad to be here and show some love. I'll even drop a donation. As long as it's going toward something good.
He chuckles as the scene returns to the group.
CHANEL SNOW: Well y'all have a good time. And be on y'all best behaviorā¦. DALLAS!
Dallas chuckles, shaking his head as Chanel playfully glares at him.
CONFESSIONAL CAM
DALLAS REED: I'm really on my best behavior. Y'all ain't gotta worry about me. Just call me the good guy.
He smirks as the scene returns to the venue. Chanel has walked off. Dallas and Prynceton are shown scoping out the venue.
PRYNCETON WELLS: Yo. I see ya boy Over at the bar.
Dallas turns to see Hadrian and Zeno standing by the bar.
DALLAS REED: I'mma go say wussup.
PRYNCETON WELLS: You think that's a good idea?.
DALLAS REED: I do t see why. I mean if it feels off, I'll just back off.
CONFESSIONAL CAM
DALLAS REED: Hadrian or Zeno aren't the type of people to pop off for no reason. Especially not at no event. So Imma just go say wussup.. let em know that I'm tryna leave the past in the past forreal.
The scene returns to the two, Dallas is shown walking toward the bar. Zeno is the first to notice Dallas walking their way. The two glimpse at each other as Zeno directs his attention to Hadrian.
TRAZENO BARNES: Yo, look who's coming our way.
Hadrian puts down his drink to find out who Zeno was referring to, but once he noticed that it was Dallas, he raises an eyebrow.
CONFESSIONAL CAM
HADRIAN ALI: I'll be real with yall. I ain't seen Dallas since the judge hearing months ago, so for him to turn up and come to me was weird as fuck. I didn't know why he was coming my way, but if it was to talk, man-to-man, then I'm open.
The scene goes back to the party. Hadrian leaning to Zenoās ear to single his voice out from the loud music in the background.
HADRIAN ALI: You aight with him, Tre?
TRAZENO BARNES: The last time I saw this dude, we were throwing hands. I did hear from Trinity that he is on this whole new righteous path now and he got a handle on his lil alcohol problem. So hopefully she's right. But I hope he ain't crazy enough to pop off in here
The scene returns to the bar. Dallas approaches the two and offers a nod, not knowing if it was cool to shake their hand.
TRAZENO BARNES: wuddup Dee?
DALLAS REED: Hey wussup y'all.
HADRIAN ALI: Whaddup Dallas. Nice cut, mane.
DALLAS REED: Thanks man. Y'all mind if I rap with y'all for a second?
HADRIAN ALI: I don't mind. What about you, Tre?
Dallas looks to Zeno, who just nods, waiting for him to speak.
DALLAS REED: Look. I know shit been rocky with us man. But I'm just tryna put the past in the past and move forward. I had a problem. I know. And I took it out in y'all. I feel like mostly toward you Hadrian, because from what it looked like, you just swooped in and rocked out whole relationship forreal. But I think we were drifting way before you came back into the picture.
TRAZENO BARNES: You right about that. My dude you let that bottle rock our relationship man. Hadrian ain't have nothing to do with this.
DALLAS REED: I know. I know. But look. That's why Im here. I'm man enough to say I fucked up. And I'm tryna make shit right. Forreal.
CONFESSIONAL CAM
DALLAS REED: I'm in a very different space in my life. I'm not saying we all gotta be best friends forreal. I'm just tired of fighting and being in these pointless ass beefs. For what? I really want them two to be happy. I have no malice toward either of them anymore. And I know it's gonna take more than an apology for us to move forward. I'm just hoping this can be a start.
The scene returns to the bar.
TRAZENO BARNES: My only issue with you Dee is your drinking. If you say you really got that shit under control and you really making changes, I ain't got no beef forreal
Zeno looks to Hadrian to see how he feels.
HADRIAN ALI: I don't either. I will say that I did have a problem with you putting my business out there like that, but that was because I wasn't ready to. I'll admit, I probably would have still not been out had it been for you, but ever since I've had better support in my life, Iāve had the confidence to go out and expand my business, and Tre and I were able to reconnect, so I say thank you.
DALLAS REED: Yea man. I definitely let the devil on my shoulder get the best of me. I shouldn't have opened my mouth at all. But I can say I'm glad something good came out of it. I'm really just tryna move forward and work on myself forreal. And part of that was writing a few wrongs starting with y'all.
TRAZENO BARNES: I spoke to Trini the other day. She had nothing but good things to say about you. But that's how she always was when it came to you. I just felt like I needed to see for myself forreal.
DALLAS REED: oh yeah. I understand completely. With everything that went down I'm glad this went the way it did.
HADRIAN ALI: Yeah I am too.
CONFESSIONAL CAM
HADRIAN ALI: I didn't expect Dallas to apologize like that, forreal forreal, but it has been a while since that fight happened and I'm sure that with everythang goin on wit em, he been doin some āself-reflectingā like I have been doin. I'm happy for him.
The scene goes back to the party.
DALLAS REED: But I don't wanna keep y'all too long man. Just wanted to rap with y'all right quick. My boy is actually over there so I'mma get back to him and let y'all get back to yall evening.
CONFESSIONAL CAM
DALLAS REED: That definitely went better than expected. Let's just see what the future holds tho. I'm just glad I got that out of the way.
The camera cuts back toward the main entrance of the venue where Lio Espinada walks into the entrance well dressed to impress looking around feeling slightly out of place but open to the experience. Not that he would ever need a wig probably had a higher chance of getting his haircut to make one. He gives a smile and then walks in keeping his positive disposition as always. The scene returns to the venue where Dallas is shown making his way back toward Prynceton before the cameras pan to the front door opening. Trinity and Dyāmand are shown making their way inside. The two walk up to one of the podiums to take a look at one of the wigs
TRINITY MONROE: Ok sis! I see you Chanel!
DY'MAND MOORE: I live for this!
TRINITY MONROE: I don't do short often, but i would do her. She real cute.

The scene returns to the launch. Trinity spots Chanel out in the crowd and makes her way over to her.

But look I know there are a few people here helping set everything up but it seems like the party is already starting, I need to get ready so Iāll catch up with you girls in a bit, just get pretty so yāall can make ur grand entrances.
COMMERCIAL BREAK
CHANEL SNOW: This is so nerve wracking, but at least this launch went more smoother than the last one.

CHANEL SNOW: Tonight is so important to me, not only am I expanding my business, my brand. But I know everyone will enjoy the new products.
MYSTI CREME: The line is down the block, I was going to inform security that they could start letting people in.
CONFESSIONAL CAM
CHANEL SNOW: Tonight was the launch of revamped wig alone, but Iām also introducing lipstick and different makeup too. Iāve been working on this for months and I kept quiet about it because I wanted to make sure this was something I was comfortable doing.
Chanel takes a deep breath, she looks down and then back up flipping her hair to the side. She smiles looking back into the camera.
CHANEL SNOW: This means so much to me, and I invited everyone. I have my fingers crossed that tonight goes smoothly, I donāt need none of my friends or so called friends ruining this experience or event for me.
The scene cuts back to Chanel and Mysti.
CHANEL SNOW: Just make sure you keep who I told you to keep separated from each other. I donāt want any drama.
MYSTI CREME: I remember names and faces, I also have pictures of them on my phone.
CONFESSIONAL CAM
CHANEL SNOW: Now as shady as that sounds, yes I wanted to make sure we didnāt have any problems tonight. So Iāve decided to make a list of people that Iām trying to keep away from each other, you know like Isaiah and Jaser or Dallas and whoever he has beef with these days.
The scene cuts back to Chanel and Mysti. Chanel finishes her makeup, she makes her way into the next room to start getting dressed. The scene cuts to the outside of Chasers where Isaiah and Dallas are shown arriving early.
ISAIAH WOLFE: I've never been to this spot, it must be new.
DALLAS REED: Yea man. It's barely been up a year, but everybody's already talking about it forreal.
CONFESSIONAL CAM
DALLAS REED: So tonight is the night! My girl chanel been grinding heavy man. And tonight she gets to show off everything she's actually been doing. Everybody always saying she dont work. And today she gets to prove everyone wrong.
The scene returns to the venue
ISAIAH WOLFE: You know this is the first time we've been in the same room with like everybody and i heard everybody was coming too.
DALLAS REED: That's fine with me. I'm here for Chanel. She's all that matters tonight. So if everybody else can play nice. So can I.
CONFESSIONAL CAM
DALLAS REED: I've had my share of unpleasant interactions with wife a few of the people that's on this guestlist honestly. But things have been very different for me since we all last saw each other. But everybody may not feel like how i feel. But imma go in here with an open mind and hope everything goes well.
ISAIAH WOLFE: I just hope the ratchet side doesn't bother me tonight, i got these expensive labels on tonight and I get they can't afford them but I would like to enjoy my labels.
DALLAS REED: You are too fucking much young.
ISAIAH WOLFE: Baby this is Versace, my shit expensive head to toe. Anyway i'm shocked you asked to ride with me and not Prynceton, y'all ok? Or did you want to be alone in case you ran into an old friend tonight?
Isaiah smirks.
DALLAS REED:Old friend? You play.
He chuckles, brushing off the comment
CONFESSIONAL CAM
DALLAS REED: I don't know what he's talking about.
He shakes his head as the scene fades back to the venue
DALLAS REED: Prynce and me gucci man. Hes meeting me here later. He didnt wanna come early. That's all. 5f
ISAIAH WOLFE: Well if a certain someone does show, let's hope he stays on his side.
The two laugh and exit the car, the scene cuts back inside where Dax is shown making his way through the backdoor carrying last minute items for the event. He notices Chanel standing near one of the food tables eating some of the strawberries and greets her with a hug.
CHANEL SNOW: Thank you Dax for everything, Sean Williams recommended you and said you would be a great help since he couldn't make it and boy you're a lifesaver.
DAX BECKETT: Sean has been my boy here in ATL. I definitely owe him one. Plus, who gonna say no to free drinks and the chance to watch people get triggered. If you need some added security, you just gotta hit me up. How's things going so far?
Dax leans against the table as he flicks his hair back out of his face.
CHANEL SNOW: Everything is going as plan, I told the party planner to start letting people in so they can start drinking and seeing some of the products I have out on the display.
DAX BECKETT: I can't wait to spread the word out west. I know a couple showgirls who would empty your stock in a couple of seconds. You know them Vegas and WeHo girls love their cosmetics and wigs.
CHANEL SNOW: And this would be perfect for you to meet the rest of the group. I know since your new around these parts and you probably don't know a lot of people. But Sean had mentioned some good things about you and I trust his word.
DAX BECKETT: You think I would fit in? I planned an event and haven't had many people from the show supporting it. Which I get. I'm the new cat on this alley, so why trust the guy who acts a fucking fool any time he's been seen in TV. But that's not all I am.
Dax sighs as he begins adjusting things on the table out of sheer OCD, trying to distract himself from the sad truth.
CONFESSIONAL CAM
CHANEL SNOW: Dax seem like a sweet guy. I didn't know much about him but what Sean has told me, the only thing that concerned me was how he would act around the rest of the group. We were a dysfunctional type of crowd and i don't think he would be able to handle that.
The scene cuts back to Chanel and Dax.
CHANEL SNOW: This group is very difficult and all of them have issues but hey who doesnāt? Iāll make sure to your given the proper welcome you deserve. Just stand close to me tonight and Iāll introduce you.
Dax smirks as he finishes spacing things apart more evenly. He turns to Chanel and leans against her for a side hug, showing his nerves a bit more now.
DAX BECKETT: After my reputation, I'm shocked that you're willing to go out on a limb for me. Not many people wouldā¦
Dax adjusts his shirt a bit, his bohemian style shining through as he nods his head. Chanel finishes another strawberry as she seems to have a sudden idea.
CHANEL SNOW: As for your event Iāll spread the word about your event.
DAX BECKETT: That would be so awesome. Those kids need all the help they can get. I used to be in their shoes. Anyway, we don't wanna be late, now do we?
Chanel smiles, she grabs Daxās head and the two make their way towards the main hallway. The scene cuts to inside the actual venue on the main floor and the event is already packed. The scene cuts to the entrance where a couple more arrivals are happening, Trapp is shown breezing through security alone.
CONFESSIONAL CAM
TRAPP: Chanel hit my phone about a party she was throwing for some new products she was dropping, now even though I donāt wear makeup, I wasnāt about to skip out on her event, sheās supported me through my endeavors so it would only be right if I supported hers.
The scene cuts back to Trapp walking inside, he notices Isaiah standing by the bar and he walks over greeting him with a playful slap on the butt.
ISAIAH WOLFE: Boy you almost got dropped.
TRAPP: Was good shorty? Have you been here long?
ISAIAH WOLFE: I just pulled up, again. I had to run an errand for Chanel but Iām back. I didnāt think you were going to show tonight.
TRAPP: Ah I wasnāt at first, but I knew Chanel would be in her feelings about it.
ISAIAH WOLFE: It should be fun, and we have enough security in the building in case people try and act stupid.
TRAPP: Iām not worried about all that shit, we here now and plus Iāll probably kick it around you.
CONFESSIONAL CAM
ISAIAH WOLFE: I know what you're all thinking, but itās not like that. Well at least not yet! But yes Iāve been kicking it with Trapp these last few weeks and weāve been having a lot of fun together.
Isaiah giggles.
ISAIAH WOLFE: And I mean a lot of fun, and thatās just what it is right now. FUN!
The scene cuts back to Isaiah and Trapp.
ISAIAH WOLFE: Donāt worry, I got your back.
The scene cuts to the back of the building, black Denali pulls up with blacked out windows. The door opens and Brandon Young-Andrews hops out.

The scene cuts back inside the venue where Chase Liu is shown walking over to one of the stands that has some of Chanelās products on display. Standing beside him is Jaser who is looking at one of the bottles of lotions.
CHASE LIU: Open that one up bae, I already found a few lotions I liked but that one looks like it smells good.
CONFESSIONAL CAM
CHASE LIU: Now I really donāt know Chanel, all I know is she use to have problems with Jaser but apparently that whole beef is dead. I guess if Jaser is cool with her now then sheās ok in my books, but trust me when I say this a snake will always be a snaked and once youāre labeled that, thereās no going back.
The scene cuts back to Chase and Jaser, Jaser opens the bottle to the lotion and holds it up to Chase nose so he can smell.
CHASE LIU: That smells good, I think I might get that one and just have you rub it all over me later tonight.
Chase smiles grabbing a hold of Jaserās arm in a flirtatious manner.
JASER CRUZ: Why wait till tonight? I can do that here right now.
Jaser laughs playfully as Chase softly punches his arm.
JASER CRUZ: Chanel would kill me though. Everyone getting action but her.
CHASE LIU: But I know youāve had issues with this boy, well chick. So I mean I get that you squashed the drama but donāt you think itās a little soon to be attending each otherās events? I mean she did try and drag you all over social media.
JASER CRUZ: To Be honest we dragged each other a lot. It was fun. But we finally sat down just us two no cameras no life bs and squashed everything.
The scene shifts to Jaser in Confessional cam.
JASER CRUZ: Truth be told we egged each other on. A loooooot. It was fun and all but at some point we had to just be grown up about it. I was 18 when we first started filming The Life. Iāve done a lot of growing up the past three years.
Jaser smiles into the camera.
JASER CRUZ: I'm not afraid to say I had a part in the drama. And Iām glad we did fix everything. Chanel is dope. This event here shows it. Iām really proud and happy for her.
The scene shifts back to Chase and Jaser as Jaser grabs another bottle before handing it to Chase.
JASER CRUZ: I'm just glad that itās such a big event space that I wonāt have to see anyone that I donāt wanna see. Iāll be cordial to the birds but make sure Chanel knows I support her 100 percent.
CHASE LIU: Well just know I got your back tonight if shit goes south.
JASER CRUZ:I know bae and I appreciate it.
Jaser grabs Chaseās arm and pulls him toward one of the food tables and the scene cuts to the main entrance. Both Jalen and Legend are shown standing at the door checking in with security, once cleared the two make their way inside.

JALEN HOLMES: I got a text from Chanel a couple days ago inviting me to her launch of her new products. I told her I would attend if I Was allowed to bring Legend and here we are.
Jalen sips on the drink in his hand giving off a shady smirk, and the scene cuts back to the two.
LEGEND DIOR: I wonder why she chose Chasers out of all places.
JALEN HOLMES: Donāt ask me, but weāre here now so letās show face, smile and fake it with a couple people and roll the fuck out.
LEGEND DIOR: And look who is over at the bar.
Legend points over towards one of the bars where Dallas is shown standing. Jalen smiles but then quickly rolls his eyes.
JALEN HOLMES: Who cares!
LEGEND DIOR: Iām surprised his alcoholic ass is even here, and look at him over there at the bar, a place he shouldnāt be.
JALEN HOLMES: Donāt attack his sobriety, heās not even holding a drink, maybe heās getting it for someone.
LEGEND DIOR: Damn bitch! You defending him like thatās your nigga or something.
JALEN HOLMES: Ha, yea whatever. Iām just saying, you wouldnāt want someone doing that to you if you were honestly trying to change.

LEGEND DIOR: I guess Dallas is off limits tonight boo, let me sip this drink.
The scene cuts back to the two.
LEGEND DIOR: Look Jaser is here too, heās so fake. Just last year he was enemies with Chanel and now heās over here partying with her.
JALEN HOLMES: Fuck Jaser, who is that boy heās with? Heās a little cute.
LEGEND DIOR: Cute enough to the point that he shouldnāt be rolling around with that trash.
JALEN HOLMES: Period.
The two laugh and the scene cuts to the main stage, Chanel is shown preparing for her speech, she begins to walk toward the stage but notices Brandon out the corner of her eye, she smiles but then notices he isn't alone.
CONFESSIONAL CAM
CHANEL SNOW: So I knew Brandon was coming to my event and I knew he was bringing a plus one, what I didnāt know was that his plus one use to smash Jaserās current boyfriend.

BRANDON YOUNGā¢ANDREWS: We didnāt, we just met a few days ago through a mutual friend and he was talking about coming to your party and didnāt want to come alone.
CHANEL SNOW: So you just had to offer your services huh?
BRANDON YOUNGā¢ANDREWS: You know me so well.
CHANEL SNOW: Behave Brandon, like for real.
BRANDON YOUNGā¢ANDREWS: Make sure you relay that message to all your guests. I noticed you had a couple dust balls in the crowd, Iām surprised they made it through security.
Izzy laughs and Chanel just shakes her head.
CHANEL SNOW: See, starting already. Chill!
IZZY: Who are the dust balls?
CHANEL SNOW: Listen donāt worry about that, just go grab a drink and Iāll meet up with you two later. Iām about to make a speech on stage, so please behave.
Chanel walks back towards the main stage that was set up for her. She motions for the DJ to cut the music and she grabs the mic.
CHANEL SNOW: I need for everyone to come to the forefront right here, grab your drinks and come stand in front of your girl for a second.
Majority if the people move towards the stage all standing in front. Chanel looks out the crowd admiring the turnout.

The crowd claps.
CHANEL SNOW: I would have never imagined that my brands would grow and be this big. And just a few moments my agent just informed me that we are ALL SOLD OUT of all products, so yes baby keep those pre orders coming in.
The crowd cheers and Chanel smiles, her agent walks out and hands her a glass of champagne.
CHANEL SNOW: So tonight Iām toasting to a successful business and a successful journey in this thing we called life. I want to thank everyone behind the scenes and everyone in the crowd for coming out and supporting me and my dreams tonight. So please enjoy yourselves and if you see anything you like, I have these fine gentleman walking around carrying iPads and they can place orders for you.
The guys holding the ipads make their way through the crowd placing orders. Chanel hops down off the stage and walks over to Isaiah who is still standing with Trapp.
CHANEL SNOW: This event is amazing.
ISAIAH WOLFE: Yes it is, and even though itās a bunch of corny dudes in the building tonight, itās still turning out to be a good party.
CHANEL SNOW: But whatās up with you two? I donāt think youāve left each otherās side all night.
CONFESSIONAL CAM
CHANEL SNOW: Even though Iāve been all over this room tonight, I still noticed that Trapp and Isaiah were all over each other. Now I could be wrong but with that type of PDA them two must be hooking up.
Chanel laughs.
CHANEL SNOW: But Iām here for it.
The scene cuts back to Chanel, Isaiah, and Trapp.
ISAIAH WOLFE: I noticed that Jalen and Legend are here, for what reason is what Iām having a hard time understanding.
CHANEL SNOW: I invited Jalen and he invited Legend, I didnāt think you would mind and honestly Iām trying to get all the networking and coins I can, I need to make all the money I invested in this line to work out.
TRAPP: Iām cool with Jalen, I havenāt seen him since we broke up but itās no hard feelings on my end.
ISAIAH WOLFE: Well your here with me, so letās not worry about them clowns.
CHANEL SNOW: Oh God, well Iām going to find Brandon and make sure heās good.
ISAIAH WOLFE: Wait Brandon is here, oh boy. I saw Jaser over by the dance floor, this is going to be good.
CONFESSIONAL CAM
ISAIAH WOLFE: Well at least I wonāt have to worry about Jaser getting in my face tonight, everyone knows how thirsty he is for attention. But with Brandon being here, his focus will probably be on him.
The scene cuts back to the three, they make their way through the crowd, stopping and talking with a few people before looking for Brandon. The scene cuts to bathroom, inside Miles Balenciaga and Giovanni Weston are shown. Miles is fixing his hair in the mirror while Giovanni plays around on Snapchat.
MILES BALENCIAGA: I wouldnāt even snap from this low budget ass party. Chanel should have been ashamed of herself, she probably should have booked me instead of tacky Mysti.
GIOVANNI WESTON: Itās not that bad.
MILES BALENCIAGA: We should have hit Hammerjacks down the block, at least they have free alcohol til 1.
GIOVANNI WESTON: Well we can leave if you want.
MILES BALENCIAGA: You just want to leave because you saw your ex here with another man, let that trash go. He is a true definition of a homie hopper, playboy has had more dick than a STD clinic and didnāt he have one of those?
CONFESSIONAL CAM
MILES BALENCIAGA: I probably sound like a hater but oh well, I cannot stand the sight of Isaiah. And it frustrates me that Giovanni allows Isaiah to get in his head like that. I get this isnāt my fight but Giovanni is my friend and I will always ride out for my friends.
The scene cuts back to Miles and Giovanni still inside the bathroom.
GIOVANNI WESTON: Whoa! Wow Miles!
MILES BALENCIAGA: Hey the truth hurts. But we need to figure something out because Iām tired of hiding in this bathroom.
Miles looks around the bathroom, he sighs.
MILES BALENCIAGA: This bathroom is disgusting.
The door to the restroom swings open and Isaiah walks in. He notices both Miles and Giovanni in the mirror and he laughs sarcastically.
ISAIAH WOLFE: Oh this is funny.
MILES BALENCIAGA: Yes your whole existence is funny, I noticed you outside with Jalenās leftovers. I guess Delonte kicked you to the curb so you went for the next available dick that could get hard for you.
ISAIAH WOLFE: Look if you want to throw hands we can, because Iām tired of your mouth.
MILES BALENCIAGA: Try me.
GIOVANNI WESTON: Yo chill.
CONFESSIONAL CAM
GIOVANNI WESTON: This was going left way too quick, and as for Miles, I donāt know what his problem was but he need to come off 10 and knock it down a couple notches.
The scene cuts back to the three in the bathroom.
ISAIAH WOLFE: If we was standing outside, I would have thrown hands but since this is Chanelās party and I want to respect her, then I wonāt even entertain those comments but trust weāll see each other again.
MILES BALENCIAGA: Iām right here.
Miles starts to walk towards Isaiah but security rushes in from the outside and standing in between the two.
ISAIAH WOLFE: Itās not even worth it, Iāll use the other bathroom because this one stinks. Hey Gio, if you want to talk then we can talk but make sure you leave your hyena at home.
MILES BALENCIAGA: Ya mother a hyena bitch.
Isaiah just laughs shaking his head at Miles, he turns and walks out of the bathroom leaving the two and the scene fades to the front entry. Trinity is shown entering the venue along with a tall muscular man walking alongside her. His arm is wrapped gently around her waist as he escorts her toward the bar.
CONFESSIONAL CAM
TRINITY MONROE: Chanel and I have just been getting closer and closer after we fixed our issues last season. We work a lot better together than we do apart. So of course i was going to come support her at her launch. I'm all about seeing my peers win. These are the types of events i want to be behind. Now i can't lie, I'm a little skeptical that there won't be any drama. She did invite EVERYBODY. And everybody isn't too fond with one another. I think i'll stay by the doorā¦.
She pauses, flipping her hair
TRINITY MONROE: Just in case. The girls like to fight. And this is a new unit. She doesn't wanna fall victim to being an innocent bystander.
The scene returns the venue. Trinity's mystery guy is shown pulling out a seat for her at the bar. She blushes as she takes her seat.
CONFESSIONAL CAM
TRINITY MONROE: The last time you a saw me i was being wined and dined, spoiled and pampered by Mr. Storm Reynolds. Things were perfect, as they always are in the beginning. But i started to see little red flags here and there, and that fairy tale quickly ended. So i have been dating around here and there. I met Kyng a few months ago at one of my events. And we've gone on a few dates and so far no red flagsā¦.
She pauses sarcastically
TRINITY MONROE: So farā¦. let's hope it stays that way.
The scene returns to the venue. Kyng grabs the attention of one of the bartenders.
BARTENDER: What can I getcha?
KYNG PRENTICE: Lemme get a double shot a henny. Matter fact, make that two. And a long island iced tea for the lady.
BARTENDER: Absolutely, let me get that right for you guys.
The scene shifts to Jaser in Confessional
CONFESSIONAL CAM
JASER CRUZ: The party was going good. Even though Riley and Kaliyah joked about crashing I doubt theyād show up. At this point I was glad I hadnāt ran into any of the sideline players that love ya one minute shade and hate on you the next. But the night is still young so weāll see what happens.
Jaser waves his hand in a bye motion as the scene fades over to Brandon who notices Jaser heading towards his direction.
CONFESSIONAL CAM
BRANDON YOUNGā¢ANDREWS: At first I said I wasnāt going to do anything or say anything because this was Chanelās party, but once I saw that punk walking my wear, I blacked out.
Suddenly the screen goes black and all you hear are screams and glasses break. The scene shows Brandon climbing on one of the bar chairs and leaping off crashing through security and knocking Jaser to the ground, the two waste no time going back and forth throwing hands.
SECURITY: BREAK IT UP!
Security pulls the two apart, and Brandon screams at Jaser, he grabs a few glasses filled with alcohol and tosses them towards Jaser connecting with one but missing with the others.
BRANDON YOUNGā¢ANDREWS: Let him go, let that bitch go.
CHASE LIU: Babe stop!
Jaser goes underneath the security guards arm and grabs Brandon by the face with his left hand and then slams his face down onto the bar. Jaser pulls him off the bar and slams him on the ground before grabbing Brandon in a headlock. Jaser is able to land two punches cleanly before security is able to pull them apart finally. Jaser is shown laughing as he realizes heās bleeding from the glass Brandon threw.
JASER CRUZ: Thatās the best you got puto? Throwing drinks like the power bottom bitch you are.
Jaser grabs a glass trying to return the favor but Chase grabs his arm stopping him. Chanel is shown rushing over to the two with a mic in hand.
CHANEL SNOW: THIS WILL NOT HAPPEN, NOT HERE! SECURITY! ESCORT BOTH OF THESE GUYS OUT!
Security go to grab both Brandon and Jaser, but the two brush the security away leaving on their own. Before walking away Brandon mouths āHeās sorryā before heading towards the exit. Chanel shakes her head in disgust facing her crowd.
CHANEL SNOW: Forgive me for the incident that just occurred but it has been taken care of and we can all go back to partying. The next round of drinks are on me!
Chanel drops the mic and motions for the DJ to play the music. She starts to walk towards the bar but notices two faces walking through the front door that wasnāt invited to the party.
CONFESSIONAL CAM
CHANEL SNOW: The fact that Brandon and Jaser just got into brawl wasnāt enough, now I have these two uninvited rats trying to crash my event.
The scene cuts back to the outside to show Kaliyah and Riley pulling up and walking up to the entrance while giving Jaser a confused look as he walks out. Riley bearhugs Jaser and gives him a playful kiss on the cheek before continuing top walk in. Just then it cuts to his confessional.
RILEY: If I can be honest? Iām just here to be petty n shit. I aināt forgot how them niggas crashed me and my twinās birthday party last year and started a fight. *he shrugs* And Kali donāt like these niggas, too?! We finna act up, my niggaaaaaaaaa!!!!!!
It cuts to show Riley and Kali in the party snickering at the products and wigs Chanel has on display.
RILEY: Whew, chile, the ghetto.
KALIYAH KANE: Ghettooooooooo.
Kali picks up a wig, shaking it and more than a few loose strands fall out. She and Riley look at each other laughing and toss the shedding wig back on the table
KALIYAH KANE: These bootleg ass synthetic wigs, she ought to be ashamed of herself. Straight dusty.
CONFESSIONAL CAM
KALIYAH KANE: I was going to leave the pettiness with Chanel alone but she will never learn. Sheāll continue bumping those helicopter lips asking for the trouble while claiming she donāt want none.
Chanel is shown making a beeline to them, but they brush right on by and shut her down before she could say anything.
RILEY: Move the fuck from by us, Jynx.
KALIYAH KANE: You heard him! Get back in your pokeball!
Kali and Riley hop up in the DJ booth to whisper in the DJs ear and he starts blaring āShe Twerkinā by CA$H OUT through the speakers. Just then Kali hops back down to the floor, swings her hair to the side and starts a twerk group in the middle of the room with a few of the guests joining in. Riley, already with a glass in his hand, grabs a mic to hype them up.
RILEY: Ayyyyyyyyyye!! THOW DAT! TWERK DAT! SHAKE DAT! BOUNCE DAT!
Riley hops down handing Kali a drink as they start to dance together. Chanel attempts to roll up on them again but Riley throws his arm with his drink to the side āaccidentallyā throwing it in Chanelās face. Chanel stands there stunned as Kali switches places with Riley and āaccidentallyā does the same thing with her drink. Kali sticks her out with a smile on her face and dares Chanel to do something about it as she continues dancing. Riley continues vibing with the crowd as the song switches and the full bird jumps out.
RILEY & THE CROWD: SLOB ON MY KNOB! LIKE CORN ON A COB! CHECK IN WIT ME! AND DO YA JOB!
It cuts to his confessional.
RILEY: Sooooo, arenāt the guests supposed to have fun and enjoy the party youāre throwing? Liyah and I are guest and weāre having fun soā¦
Riley gives a thumbs up as it cuts back to them jamming with the crowd in the middle of the dance floor. Chanel throws her hands up likes she given up and walks towards the exit as the scene fades and reopens to the bathroom area, Sean is shown leaving out the bathroom while Dax was making his way in, the two stop and chat.
SEAN WILLIAMS: I hope your having fun minus all the drama that just went down out there. This is why I donāt attend a lot of events because it always ends up in a fight, especially with this group.
DAX BECKETT: Yeah, it's a little extra up in here, but the drinks are free, so why not?
They share a bit of a laugh for a moment.
SEAN WILLIAMS: But anyway, I meant to ask you earlier when I saw you if you wanted to hang out alone, you know catch up.
DAX BECKETT: You know, I think that would be cool. I need to just let loose after all this crazy. It wouldn't be a bad idea to catch up and have someone on my side in case one of these guys wants to pop off on me.
Dax walks over to the stall shamelessly as he puts down his zipper to do his business as he continues the conversation.
CONFESSIONAL CAM
SEAN WILLIAMS: Like I said before I knew Dax from way back, even though we didnāt have a close relationship, it wouldnāt hurt to get to know him. I needed to be more open minded and start meeting people so maybe this would be a good start for me, especially since itās some history there.
The scene cuts back to Sean and Dax as he washes his hands.
SEAN WILLIAMS: I can put my number in your phone, text me your number and then we can make plans.
Dax hands Sean his cellphone and Sean dials his number calling his phone.
SEAN WILLIAMS: There!
DAX BECKETT: Sounds good man. I'll hit you up later for sure.
Dax pats Sean on the shoulder as he brings him in for a hug and a smile. Security is shown still escorting people from the building, the two release from their hug and exit out together as the scene fades.

HADRIAN ALI: Like what?
FATIMA MOORE-CHILES: I donāt know. Something like creating my own workshop to help people in our communities plant our own foods, or grow our own plants. Maybe have a greenhouse built.
HADRIAN ALI: Yeah, youāve always been a plant person.
FATIMA MOORE-CHILES: Ever since you were a baby.
HADRIAN ALI: Ah yeah. So you want something to drink?
FATIMA MOORE-CHILES: A bottle of water would be nice. Thank you.

Hadrian sighs as the scene goes back to Hadrianās home.
HADRIAN ALI: I left Jae plenty of messages and he aināt call back.
FATIMA MOORE-CHILES: Have you heard from your father and asked him where they could be.
HADRIAN ALI: Iāve called him for weeks.
FATIMA MOORE-CHILES: You mean heās not answering?
HADRIAN ALI: No, but his wife does. She asked me to check up on everythang.
Fatima shakes her head in disappointment.
HADRIAN ALI: He donāt even care about his kids like that, mane.
FATIMA MOORE-CHILES: Itās not my business to speak on the relationship between you and your father, because what have I always told you?
HADRIAN ALI: To find out on your own and establish my own relationship wit him?
FATIMA MOORE-CHILES: Of course.
HADRIAN ALI: I have been. Heās the one that hasnāt been answering the calls.
Fatima shakes her head once more as she moves from the bar to the couch with her purse and bottle of water at hand. Hadrian following after her.
HADRIAN ALI: But itās less on the relationship with me and him, because I was done with him a long time ago. I just wanted to be there for my brothers. I already felt like I didnāt before. I couldnāt just leave them hanging after what they went through. I had to make up for it. I felt like I could have done more for them before this happened though.
FATIMA MOORE-CHILES: No, Hadi. Itās not your fault.
HADRIAN ALI: I mean, I felt like I could have done somethin though. Kept them in check. Helped them out.
FATIMA MOORE-CHILES: Youāve been working on your own life as it is, so I understand how you feel, but donāt blame yourself for anything involving your brothers. Theyāll come around. Just donāt feel bad about yourself for putting yourself forward. Youāve been busy. Speaking of which, you have your own gym now. Youāve spent a very long time getting to this point and you finally made it. I spoke to you before about being incredibly proud of you, and I just want to say it again. My little boy being an entrepreneur.
HADRIAN ALI: Thanks, mama.
Hadrian goes to hug his mother before the scene fades and cuts to a somewhat populated basketball court of about 3 full courts near downtown Atlanta area. The yelling and communication of men between the full court games are what is seen before the camera cuts into Lio Espinada bringing the ball up the court. He points out to a teammate on the wing telling him to cut to the basket without speaking in his broken English. The teammate follows instruction and catches a lightning quick pass from Lio for the layup. Some of the guys in the area āooohā at the precision of the pass while Lio hops back to the other end of the court feeling himself a little getting a couple low fives from his teammates.
CONFESSIONAL CAM
LIO ESPINADA: I love ball. Es favorite game. I grew up futbol but once introduce basketball Lion learned quick. I enjoy ankle breaking.
Another innocent smile followed by his light chuckle before the scene heads back to the game where he is doing exactly that, breaking a few ankles and passing a few more dimes until the game-ending win for his team comes with a dish to his teammate on the wing hitting from three-point range to end the game. The 10 men break apart to the benches and bleachers all around the court while Lio takes his shirt off to drink a lot of his gallon of water. Soon enough a call comes through and his ringer heard from his small gym bag. He walks over to grab it with a smile.
LIO ESPINADA: MelMels?
He smiles a little more hearing that tone he loves so much before the camera cuts.
CONFESSIONAL CAM
LIO ESPINADA: My girlfriend I talk everyday when can. We both heavy work so itās always nice to hear voice.
He throws up a 5 at the guys before moving a little more off the court toward the grassy area to hold his conversation before it cuts back to the confessional cam.
LIO ESPINADA: There been time where she not feel confident about me do this. I tell her itās good to get out there meet and network. I work for one of best places in Quag Inc but never one not take opportunity eh? So I show her through action she focus of my life and love her dearly. Plus, I not messy guy I like everyone happy. Most all Mel happy. She happy. I happy. Never like being away from her but is good for business in the end.
The camera cut as heās still holding his conversation on the phone as the men are gathering back on the court to shoot around. The next scene opens inside of a small dance studio. Several people are shown seated indian style around a girl.in the middle. Cameras pan in to reveal Dy'Mand Moore voguing. The people surrounding her clap and chant as she vogues to the beat.she falls into w death drop . One of the people jump and and goes to stop the music. Dy'Mand lays out of breath on the floor with a wide grin on her face

DY'MAND MOORE: I absolutely love to Vogue! Back in the day I was at every function. Snatching trophies. I lived for the ballroom scene. I'm not so much into it as I used to be. But I still have my house children. My kiddies! My two dawtas Mulan and Haha. That' bond we have, we'll will always have. So from time to time we all link up, order food. And just vogue down like the old days. I love catching up with them.
HAHA DIORE: Yes Ma'am! You still got it!
DY'MAND MOORE: I keep telling you! It never goes away daughtaā. Once a voguing divaā¦ always a vioguing diva!

Everyone chuckles
DY'MAND MOORE: Oh stop! I'm just chasing this dream!
HAHA DIORE: We know ma! We're just messing with you.
MULAN EBONY: Yea just messing with you. We just miss you is all.
DY'MAND MOORE: It had definitely been a while since I have really just kicked it with my family. These good are all I have to be honest. Some nights those guys slept out in my truck with me. But we've all been chasing a dream and trying to be better people. There is such a negative view on trans woman, even within our community. Everyone thinks we're one thing. We're all one way. But me and my girls are fighting everyday to shown people that there are real girls like us who live real lives. Whether they be regular or spectacular. But it's not just the one life everyone thinks we live. I admit that us chasing our dreams has kept us apart. But I feel like the bigger picture makes it all worth it. And the times we get together are absolutely the best! We treasure them more.
The scene fades back to the group.
DY'MAND MOORE: I've really missed you guys too. But I'm so glad to see you guys are all doing so well.! Haha! You're modeling now! I saw your spread when I was onInstagram. and Mulan! You finally got your license! You finished beauty school! Pretty soon you'll have your own salon! Especially if I have anything to do with it!
She pauses, looking at the two before pulling them into a hug,
DY'MAND MOORE: Y'all know sometimes I feel like I really pushed y'all out of me.
HAHA DIORE: Oh I know.sometimes you give naggy teas.
MULAN EBONY: okurr!
DYāMAND MOORE:Wow! That's how you really feel!?
MULAN EBONY: But we love you ma!
HAHA DIORE: Yeah girl. Its a mother's job to nag. Just means you're doing it right.
DY'MAND MOORE: that's right! I love my kids. I gotta be hard in y'all. I just wanna see the best for y'all. Girls we all had it rough. Now look at us. We got a lot to be proud of.
HAHA DIORE: I know that's right mama.
MULAN EBONY: So tell us what it was like meeting Trinity! I saw y'all all over Instagram together! Kekeing!
HAHA DIORE: Gurl I love her! I am addicted to Star just because of her!
MULAN EBONY:so what's the like?
HAHA DIORE: Yas girl tell us!
DY'MAND MOORE: She's really sweet. Even I was surprised at how nice she was. She's honestly just a regular woman. Who just happened to be doing some big things! When we're hanging out I don't feel like it's with Trinity the celebrity. It's just Trinity my homegirl.
HAHA DIORE: I have to meet her
MULAN EBONY: Yass that would be life!
DY'MAND MOORE: I was actually going to ask her to be on the panel at our seminar next month.
MULAN EBONY: Do you think she'd do that?
DY'MAND MOORE: I won't know until I ask.
DY'MAND MOORE: So,next month I'm gonna be hosting an awareness panel to kinda bring to the light some of the issues that people still don't seem to get that women of trans experience face every single day. The death rates only climb higher and higher. And at the rate things are going. Well be wiped out pretty soon. It saddens me that people can't just understand that we're human. We love just like you. Hurt just like you. We're the same. And until my dying day I'm gonna fight for equality and basic human rights for trans women.i wanted to ask Trinity to be on the panel because I feel !like it would bring in a crowd. And she lives and breaths what we face daily. I'm hoping she would want to do it.
the scene fades back to the group.
DY'MAND MOORE: I'm actually going to some big wig launch with her tonight. One of her friends has their own hair line. Maybe I'll Bring it up before we get there.But I've rested enough now. Let's go! Pump those beats back. Didn't we come to Vogue?
HAHA DIORE: Yasssssssss let's do this..
Mulan jumps up and runs back to the stereo and starts the beat. The group all begin dancing and voguing as the scene fades and reopens at Dance Evolution, a local dance studio down Atlanta. The scene shows Chase inside dancing to Walk It Like You Talk it By Migos, wearing a pair of shorts and a Tommy Hilfiger crop, he busts a few more moves before stopping, the other classmates in the room cheer him on.
CHASE LIU: Thank yāall.
Chase smiles he walks over the chair and sits down.
INSTRUCTOR: Another great class today you guy, Iām very proud. Weāll meet back here on Thursday at the same time.
CONFESSIONAL CAM
CHASE LIU: Iāve been dancing since I was a child, I wouldnāt say it was a passion but it was always something I liked to do and plus it was a great way for me to stay in shape. Since Iāve moved to Atlanta Iāve tried to venture out and do different stuff, I wasnāt the type to just sit around and let life pass me by.
Chase smiles.
CHASE LIU: Dance practice was over and Jaser had text me telling me he was on his way over. After those flowers he got me Iām trying to play hard to get but he makes it hard. Iām still holding off but time will tell, and so far Iām liking everything.
The scene cuts back to Chase and the dance studio, the instructor and the rest of the classmates make their exit, Jaser is shown making his way up the long stairwell and into the actual dance room.
CHASE LIU: Thanks for meeting me here, you said you wanted to learn who I was so this is me, some days.
Chase smiles.
CHASE LIU: One of these days you should come with me, I see yo ass dancing all the time in those videos online, you got some moves.
Jaser blushes
JASER CRUZ: Think so? Thanks, I use to watch my cousins dance and would go to their practices and just picked up on it. Got older started to take classes myself. I only stopped once I got into wrestling at 16 but itās still fun to do here and there.
CHASE LIU: I like it, it helps me get away from the bad that I deal with sometimes.
CONFESSIONAL CAM
CHASE LIU: There were things that Jaser still didnāt know about me and I wasnāt sure if he would understand. Iāve dealt with some things in my life just from growing up and watching what was going on around me, trust me I was very attentive as a child and as I grew into adulthood.
Chase shrugs his shoulders, taking a minute to himself, he lets out a small sigh and the scene cuts back to the two.
CHASE LIU: But thatās another story for another day, so whatās on the agenda for today?
JASER CRUZ: Well we can go hit up Vortex in Little 5 points and eat or whatever else you wanna do.
Jaser gets a text and chuckles as he reads it.
JASER CRUZ: Or we could go to this tonight if youāre down.
Jaser shows Chase the text.
CHASE LIU: So Chanel is having a party and invited you?
JASER CRUZ: Yea, Iām going only if you will go with me.
CHASE LIU: I will, I just donāt want the drama especially since yāall had issues in the past.
JASER CRUZ: We good love, I like this Chanel, the old one not so much.
The two laugh and continue talking as the scene fades and reopens up inside of Miles apartment, Miles is shown laying a couple outfits across the bed trying to figure out what he was going to wear to a party he was invited to. He walks over to his walk-in closet and pulls out another outfit with the tags still attached.
MILES BALENCIAGA: Damn, I havenāt even worn these.
CONFESSIONAL CAM
MILES BALENCIAGA: I hate being one of the top socialites in Atlanta, having that title really drives me bonkers at times. Iām always invited to the parties and everyone always wants to take a picture or have some sort of interaction with.
Miles sigh sarcastically.
MILES BALENCIAGA: But thatās what happens when your the top dog in the park. Anyway my friend Giovanni was back in Atlanta for a few months, after the bullshit that happened last year with him, I donāt blame him wanting to leave and get away from this place but heās back and Iām so happy to have him here. I told him to pop up so he could help me decide what to wear and so I could catch him up wit whatās been going on in Atlanta.
The scene cuts back to Miles still standing in his closet, he hears a familiar voice yelling his name from the hallway and he smiles as he rushes out of the closet.
GIOVANNI WESTON: I see my key still works.
Giovanni laughs grabbing ahold of Miles, the two share a hug before sitting down on the chairs in the bedroom next to the main hall.
MILES BALENCIAGA: Oh My God what took you so long to get back to me? Atlanta has been so boring without you.
CONFESSIONAL CAM
GIOVANNI WESTON: No shade after that bullshit that went down with Isaiah last year, I needed to get far away from Atlanta. So I decided to go to Jersey and visit my family there and I had a good summer, but Iām back home in Atlanta, back to reality and Iām sure back to the bullshit.
The scene cuts back to Giovanni and Miles.
GIOVANNI WESTON: Well Iām back now so fill me in on whatās been going on in fake Hollywood.
MILES BALENCIAGA: To be honest itās been quiet and Iām surprised. I havenāt really been in the streets as much as I would like to but thatās because work has been keeping me very busy, but I did notice we had some new faces in the group, people Iāve never met or heard of.
GIOVANNI WESTON: That's always nice.
MILES BALENCIAGA: And word on the street is that your ex has been seen hanging out with Trapp a lot.
Giovanni laughs.
GIOVANNI WESTON: Desperate much? I thought he was with Jalen.
MILES BALENCIAGA: Yes love you have been gone for quite some time, a lot of stuff has changed but supposedly they called it quits the last time we were altogether.
GIOVANNI WESTON: That's interesting, well of what your saying is true then good luck to them but Iāve moved on, Iām not worried about a boy.
MILES BALENCIAGA: Well let's hope not, itās to many fine single men in Atlanta for you to be worried about some pass around. Thereās a couple events happening this week so maybe I should bring you with me, you know reintroduce you back to the scene.
GIOVANNI WESTON: Uhhh I donāt know.
CONFESSIONAL CAM
GIOVANNI WESTON: I donāt know if I was ready to be reintroduced back to the scene, I really didnāt want people to know I was back. And after hearing that Isaiah and Trapp might be hooking up that would be weird.
Giovanni shrugs.
GIOVANNI WESTON: Oh well, guess I have to deal with it if itās thrown in my face.
The scene cuts back to Giovanni and Miles.
MILES BALENCIAGA: Well come to at least one of them with me, I donāt think Isaiah will be there so you wouldnāt have to worry about any pop ups.
GIOVANNI WESTON: Itās not the pop ups that Iām worried about, Iāve been doing so good with keeping myself out of the drama that I think being around the group again will only set me back.
MILES BALENCIAGA: Just think about it.
CONFESSIONAL CAM
MILES BALENCIAGA: I donāt think it was even that serious, the only issue Giovanni had was with Isaiah and their not even together anymore. I donāt know what Giovanni problem was but he needed to get it together, he wasnāt about to come back home and just sit in the house, nope not on my watch.
The scene cuts back to Miles and Giovanni, the two make their way into the main sitting area where Miles starts showing Giovanni the clothes he picked out.
GIOVANNI WESTON: I donāt know why you wonāt just pick one, it looks like the tags are still on them so itās not like the clothes has been worn or seen by the general public.
MILES BALENCIAGA: Yes I understand that but when I make appearances at these little events I need jaws to drop and people to talk.
GIOVANNI WESTON: As always.
MILES BALENCIAGA: I may go with the Versace, itās screams money and class, two things that describes me.
Miles giggles as he lays the Versace outfit out in front of him. The two continue to talk as the scene fades and reopens on the outside of the venue of Chanel's wig launch. A 2018 Mercedes-Benz E-Class Coupe is shown pulling into one of the parking spaces. As the car comes to a stop, Prynceton is shown climbing out of the driver's seat. He makes his way into the front entrance and look around the view. Bartenders are shown walking around offering glasses of wine. Prynceton takes a glass and thanks the bartender and begins searching for Dallas
CONFESSIONAL CAM
PRYNCETON WELLS: I promised Dallas that i would meet him at this event. It's probably gonna be a lil rough on him cuz it's the first time he's really been around this circle in a minute. I don't really know any of the people that's supposed to be here. But if I'm rocking with Dallas, I'm gonna have to be around them eventually. So why not now?
The scene returns to the venue. Prynceton sports Dallas and walks up to him, wrapping his arms around him.
DALLAS REED:You made it!
PRYNCETON WELLS:I told you I'd be here. I wouldn't leave you hanging D. You know that
CONFESSIONAL CAM
DALLAS REED: So the time has come for me to kinda see everybody that I haven't been around these past couple months. And I know some of them aren't really gonna be too happy to see me. And I'm kinda hoping that we can all sit down and resolve shit forreal and just try to move on. But I don't really know if tonight is the night to be tryna do anything. Everybody is here to support my girl Chanel. And that's what I'm really here for
The scene returns to the venue. Dallas happens to catch Chanel breezing by and quickly grabs her attention.
DALLAS REED: Aye what's good ma!? I wanna formally intro you to Prynceton. I know yall met before but that was through madness.

DALLAS REED:Chanel actually was the one who called Prynce when i got admitted into rehab. They came together along with trinity to help get me through it all. So I wanted to introduce them properly.

The two hug
CHANEL SNOW: It's good to see you too Prynceton. Thanks for coming.
PRYNCETON WELLS: Oh it's all good. I know I wasn't on the official invite list. But, Dallas said you wouldn't mind me coming through.
CHANEL SNOW: Of course. The more the merrier! I know you may not wear wigs but look around. Drop a donation. We welcome those two.
PRYNCETON WELLS: Oh I see you! Absolutely! I can make that happen. Good seeing you again.
PRYNCETON WELLS: I've only ever met channel through Dallas. And it's always been good vibes. I mean everybody see the shit she go through on social media but she ain't never disrespected me so I'm glad to be here and show some love. I'll even drop a donation. As long as it's going toward something good.
He chuckles as the scene returns to the group.
CHANEL SNOW: Well y'all have a good time. And be on y'all best behaviorā¦. DALLAS!
Dallas chuckles, shaking his head as Chanel playfully glares at him.

DALLAS REED: I'm really on my best behavior. Y'all ain't gotta worry about me. Just call me the good guy.
He smirks as the scene returns to the venue. Chanel has walked off. Dallas and Prynceton are shown scoping out the venue.
PRYNCETON WELLS: Yo. I see ya boy Over at the bar.
Dallas turns to see Hadrian and Zeno standing by the bar.
DALLAS REED: I'mma go say wussup.
PRYNCETON WELLS: You think that's a good idea?.
DALLAS REED: I do t see why. I mean if it feels off, I'll just back off.
CONFESSIONAL CAM
DALLAS REED: Hadrian or Zeno aren't the type of people to pop off for no reason. Especially not at no event. So Imma just go say wussup.. let em know that I'm tryna leave the past in the past forreal.
The scene returns to the two, Dallas is shown walking toward the bar. Zeno is the first to notice Dallas walking their way. The two glimpse at each other as Zeno directs his attention to Hadrian.
TRAZENO BARNES: Yo, look who's coming our way.
Hadrian puts down his drink to find out who Zeno was referring to, but once he noticed that it was Dallas, he raises an eyebrow.
CONFESSIONAL CAM
HADRIAN ALI: I'll be real with yall. I ain't seen Dallas since the judge hearing months ago, so for him to turn up and come to me was weird as fuck. I didn't know why he was coming my way, but if it was to talk, man-to-man, then I'm open.
The scene goes back to the party. Hadrian leaning to Zenoās ear to single his voice out from the loud music in the background.
HADRIAN ALI: You aight with him, Tre?
TRAZENO BARNES: The last time I saw this dude, we were throwing hands. I did hear from Trinity that he is on this whole new righteous path now and he got a handle on his lil alcohol problem. So hopefully she's right. But I hope he ain't crazy enough to pop off in here
The scene returns to the bar. Dallas approaches the two and offers a nod, not knowing if it was cool to shake their hand.
TRAZENO BARNES: wuddup Dee?
DALLAS REED: Hey wussup y'all.
HADRIAN ALI: Whaddup Dallas. Nice cut, mane.
DALLAS REED: Thanks man. Y'all mind if I rap with y'all for a second?
HADRIAN ALI: I don't mind. What about you, Tre?
Dallas looks to Zeno, who just nods, waiting for him to speak.
DALLAS REED: Look. I know shit been rocky with us man. But I'm just tryna put the past in the past and move forward. I had a problem. I know. And I took it out in y'all. I feel like mostly toward you Hadrian, because from what it looked like, you just swooped in and rocked out whole relationship forreal. But I think we were drifting way before you came back into the picture.
TRAZENO BARNES: You right about that. My dude you let that bottle rock our relationship man. Hadrian ain't have nothing to do with this.
DALLAS REED: I know. I know. But look. That's why Im here. I'm man enough to say I fucked up. And I'm tryna make shit right. Forreal.
CONFESSIONAL CAM
DALLAS REED: I'm in a very different space in my life. I'm not saying we all gotta be best friends forreal. I'm just tired of fighting and being in these pointless ass beefs. For what? I really want them two to be happy. I have no malice toward either of them anymore. And I know it's gonna take more than an apology for us to move forward. I'm just hoping this can be a start.
The scene returns to the bar.
TRAZENO BARNES: My only issue with you Dee is your drinking. If you say you really got that shit under control and you really making changes, I ain't got no beef forreal
Zeno looks to Hadrian to see how he feels.
HADRIAN ALI: I don't either. I will say that I did have a problem with you putting my business out there like that, but that was because I wasn't ready to. I'll admit, I probably would have still not been out had it been for you, but ever since I've had better support in my life, Iāve had the confidence to go out and expand my business, and Tre and I were able to reconnect, so I say thank you.
DALLAS REED: Yea man. I definitely let the devil on my shoulder get the best of me. I shouldn't have opened my mouth at all. But I can say I'm glad something good came out of it. I'm really just tryna move forward and work on myself forreal. And part of that was writing a few wrongs starting with y'all.
TRAZENO BARNES: I spoke to Trini the other day. She had nothing but good things to say about you. But that's how she always was when it came to you. I just felt like I needed to see for myself forreal.
DALLAS REED: oh yeah. I understand completely. With everything that went down I'm glad this went the way it did.
HADRIAN ALI: Yeah I am too.
CONFESSIONAL CAM
HADRIAN ALI: I didn't expect Dallas to apologize like that, forreal forreal, but it has been a while since that fight happened and I'm sure that with everythang goin on wit em, he been doin some āself-reflectingā like I have been doin. I'm happy for him.
The scene goes back to the party.
DALLAS REED: But I don't wanna keep y'all too long man. Just wanted to rap with y'all right quick. My boy is actually over there so I'mma get back to him and let y'all get back to yall evening.
CONFESSIONAL CAM
DALLAS REED: That definitely went better than expected. Let's just see what the future holds tho. I'm just glad I got that out of the way.
The camera cuts back toward the main entrance of the venue where Lio Espinada walks into the entrance well dressed to impress looking around feeling slightly out of place but open to the experience. Not that he would ever need a wig probably had a higher chance of getting his haircut to make one. He gives a smile and then walks in keeping his positive disposition as always. The scene returns to the venue where Dallas is shown making his way back toward Prynceton before the cameras pan to the front door opening. Trinity and Dyāmand are shown making their way inside.

CHANEL SNOW: This means so much to me, and I invited everyone. I have my fingers crossed that tonight goes smoothly, I donāt need none of my friends or so called friends ruining this experience or event for me.
The scene cuts back to Chanel and Mysti.
CHANEL SNOW: Just make sure you keep who I told you to keep separated from each other. I donāt want any drama.

ISAIAH WOLFE: I just hope the ratchet side doesn't bother me tonight, i got these expensive labels on tonight and I get they can't afford them but I would like to enjoy my labels.
DALLAS REED: You are too fucking much young.
ISAIAH WOLFE: Baby this is Versace, my shit expensive head to toe. Anyway i'm shocked you asked to ride with me and not Prynceton, y'all ok? Or did you want to be alone in case you ran into an old friend tonight?
Isaiah smirks.
DALLAS REED:Old friend? You play.
He chuckles, brushing off the comment
CONFESSIONAL CAM
DALLAS REED: I don't know what he's talking about.
He shakes his head as the scene fades back to the venue
DALLAS REED: Prynce and me gucci man. Hes meeting me here later. He didnt wanna come early. That's all. 5f
ISAIAH WOLFE: Well if a certain someone does show, let's hope he stays on his side.
The two laugh and exit the car, the scene cuts back inside where Dax is shown making his way through the backdoor carrying last minute items for the event. He notices Chanel standing near one of the food tables eating some of the strawberries and greets her with a hug.
CHANEL SNOW: Thank you Dax for everything, Sean Williams recommended you and said you would be a great help since he couldn't make it and boy you're a lifesaver.
DAX BECKETT: Sean has been my boy here in ATL. I definitely owe him one. Plus, who gonna say no to free drinks and the chance to watch people get triggered. If you need some added security, you just gotta hit me up. How's things going so far?
Dax leans against the table as he flicks his hair back out of his face.
CHANEL SNOW: Everything is going as plan, I told the party planner to start letting people in so they can start drinking and seeing some of the products I have out on the display.
DAX BECKETT: I can't wait to spread the word out west. I know a couple showgirls who would empty your stock in a couple of seconds. You know them Vegas and WeHo girls love their cosmetics and wigs.
CHANEL SNOW: And this would be perfect for you to meet the rest of the group. I know since your new around these parts and you probably don't know a lot of people. But Sean had mentioned some good things about you and I trust his word.
DAX BECKETT: You think I would fit in? I planned an event and haven't had many people from the show supporting it. Which I get. I'm the new cat on this alley, so why trust the guy who acts a fucking fool any time he's been seen in TV. But that's not all I am.
Dax sighs as he begins adjusting things on the table out of sheer OCD, trying to distract himself from the sad truth.
CONFESSIONAL CAM
CHANEL SNOW: Dax seem like a sweet guy. I didn't know much about him but what Sean has told me, the only thing that concerned me was how he would act around the rest of the group. We were a dysfunctional type of crowd and i don't think he would be able to handle that.
The scene cuts back to Chanel and Dax.
CHANEL SNOW: This group is very difficult and all of them have issues but hey who doesnāt? Iāll make sure to your given the proper welcome you deserve. Just stand close to me tonight and Iāll introduce you.
Dax smirks as he finishes spacing things apart more evenly. He turns to Chanel and leans against her for a side hug, showing his nerves a bit more now.
DAX BECKETT: After my reputation, I'm shocked that you're willing to go out on a limb for me. Not many people wouldā¦
Dax adjusts his shirt a bit, his bohemian style shining through as he nods his head. Chanel finishes another strawberry as she seems to have a sudden idea.
CHANEL SNOW: As for your event Iāll spread the word about your event.
DAX BECKETT: That would be so awesome. Those kids need all the help they can get. I used to be in their shoes. Anyway, we don't wanna be late, now do we?
Chanel smiles, she grabs Daxās head and the two make their way towards the main hallway. The scene cuts to inside the actual venue on the main floor and the event is already packed. The scene cuts to the entrance where a couple more arrivals are happening, Trapp is shown breezing through security alone.
CONFESSIONAL CAM
TRAPP: Chanel hit my phone about a party she was throwing for some new products she was dropping, now even though I donāt wear makeup, I wasnāt about to skip out on her event, sheās supported me through my endeavors so it would only be right if I supported hers.
The scene cuts back to Trapp walking inside, he notices Isaiah standing by the bar and he walks over greeting him with a playful slap on the butt.
ISAIAH WOLFE: Boy you almost got dropped.
TRAPP: Was good shorty? Have you been here long?
ISAIAH WOLFE: I just pulled up, again. I had to run an errand for Chanel but Iām back. I didnāt think you were going to show tonight.
TRAPP: Ah I wasnāt at first, but I knew Chanel would be in her feelings about it.
ISAIAH WOLFE: It should be fun, and we have enough security in the building in case people try and act stupid.
TRAPP: Iām not worried about all that shit, we here now and plus Iāll probably kick it around you.
CONFESSIONAL CAM
ISAIAH WOLFE: I know what you're all thinking, but itās not like that. Well at least not yet! But yes Iāve been kicking it with Trapp these last few weeks and weāve been having a lot of fun together.
Isaiah giggles.
ISAIAH WOLFE: And I mean a lot of fun, and thatās just what it is right now. FUN!
The scene cuts back to Isaiah and Trapp.
ISAIAH WOLFE: Donāt worry, I got your back.
The scene cuts to the back of the building, black Denali pulls up with blacked out windows. The door opens and Brandon Young-Andrews hops out.
BRANDON YOUNGā¢ANDREWS: The girls are going to gag when they see who Iām walking in with tonight.
The scene cuts back inside the venue where Chase Liu is shown walking over to one of the stands that has some of Chanelās products on display. Standing beside him is Jaser who is looking at one of the bottles of lotions.
CHASE LIU: Open that one up bae, I already found a few lotions I liked but that one looks like it smells good.
CONFESSIONAL CAM
CHASE LIU: Now I really donāt know Chanel, all I know is she use to have problems with Jaser but apparently that whole beef is dead. I guess if Jaser is cool with her now then sheās ok in my books, but trust me when I say this a snake will always be a snaked and once youāre labeled that, thereās no going back.
The scene cuts back to Chase and Jaser, Jaser opens the bottle to the lotion and holds it up to Chase nose so he can smell.
CHASE LIU: That smells good, I think I might get that one and just have you rub it all over me later tonight.
Chase smiles grabbing a hold of Jaserās arm in a flirtatious manner.
JASER CRUZ: Why wait till tonight? I can do that here right now.
Jaser laughs playfully as Chase softly punches his arm.
JASER CRUZ: Chanel would kill me though. Everyone getting action but her.
CHASE LIU: But I know youāve had issues with this boy, well chick. So I mean I get that you squashed the drama but donāt you think itās a little soon to be attending each otherās events? I mean she did try and drag you all over social media.
JASER CRUZ: To Be honest we dragged each other a lot. It was fun. But we finally sat down just us two no cameras no life bs and squashed everything.
The scene shifts to Jaser in Confessional cam.
JASER CRUZ: Truth be told we egged each other on. A loooooot. It was fun and all but at some point we had to just be grown up about it. I was 18 when we first started filming The Life. Iāve done a lot of growing up the past three years.
Jaser smiles into the camera.
JASER CRUZ: I'm not afraid to say I had a part in the drama. And Iām glad we did fix everything. Chanel is dope. This event here shows it. Iām really proud and happy for her.
The scene shifts back to Chase and Jaser as Jaser grabs another bottle before handing it to Chase.
JASER CRUZ: I'm just glad that itās such a big event space that I wonāt have to see anyone that I donāt wanna see. Iāll be cordial to the birds but make sure Chanel knows I support her 100 percent.
CHASE LIU: Well just know I got your back tonight if shit goes south.
JASER CRUZ:I know bae and I appreciate it.
Jaser grabs Chaseās arm and pulls him toward one of the food tables and the scene cuts to the main entrance. Both Jalen and Legend are shown standing at the door checking in with security, once cleared the two make their way inside.
CONFESSIONAL CAM
JALEN HOLMES: I got a text from Chanel a couple days ago inviting me to her launch of her new products. I told her I would attend if I Was allowed to bring Legend and here we are.
Jalen sips on the drink in his hand giving off a shady smirk, and the scene cuts back to the two.
LEGEND DIOR: I wonder why she chose Chasers out of all places.
JALEN HOLMES: Donāt ask me, but weāre here now so letās show face, smile and fake it with a couple people and roll the fuck out.
LEGEND DIOR: And look who is over at the bar.
Legend points over towards one of the bars where Dallas is shown standing. Jalen smiles but then quickly rolls his eyes.
JALEN HOLMES: Who cares!
LEGEND DIOR: Iām surprised his alcoholic ass is even here, and look at him over there at the bar, a place he shouldnāt be.
JALEN HOLMES: Donāt attack his sobriety, heās not even holding a drink, maybe heās getting it for someone.
LEGEND DIOR: Damn bitch! You defending him like thatās your nigga or something.
JALEN HOLMES: Ha, yea whatever. Iām just saying, you wouldnāt want someone doing that to you if you were honestly trying to change.
CONFESSIONAL CAM
LEGEND DIOR: I guess Dallas is off limits tonight boo, let me sip this drink.
The scene cuts back to the two.
LEGEND DIOR: Look Jaser is here too, heās so fake. Just last year he was enemies with Chanel and now heās over here partying with her.
JALEN HOLMES: Fuck Jaser, who is that boy heās with? Heās a little cute.
LEGEND DIOR: Cute enough to the point that he shouldnāt be rolling around with that trash.
JALEN HOLMES: Period.
The two laugh and the scene cuts to the main stage, Chanel is shown preparing for her speech, she begins to walk toward the stage but notices Brandon out the corner of her eye, she smiles but then notices he isn't alone.
CONFESSIONAL CAM
CHANEL SNOW: So I knew Brandon was coming to my event and I knew he was bringing a plus one, what I didnāt know was that his plus one use to smash Jaserās current boyfriend.
Chanel shakes her head.
CHANEL SNOW: Brandon! Brandon! Brandon! You are so messy!
The scene cuts back to Chanel, she walks over to Brandon greeting him with a hug and a kiss. She looks over at Izzy who leans in for a hug also.
CHANEL SNOW: Thanks for coming babe.
BRANDON YOUNGā¢ANDREWS: You already know I wasnāt going to miss your event.
CHANEL SNOW: I didnāt know you two knew each other.
BRANDON YOUNGā¢ANDREWS: We didnāt, we just met a few days ago through a mutual friend and he was talking about coming to your party and didnāt want to come alone.
CHANEL SNOW: So you just had to offer your services huh?
BRANDON YOUNGā¢ANDREWS: You know me so well.
CHANEL SNOW: Behave Brandon, like for real.
BRANDON YOUNGā¢ANDREWS: Make sure you relay that message to all your guests. I noticed you had a couple dust balls in the crowd, Iām surprised they made it through security.
Izzy laughs and Chanel just shakes her head.
CHANEL SNOW: See, starting already. Chill!
IZZY: Who are the dust balls?
CHANEL SNOW: Listen donāt worry about that, just go grab a drink and Iāll meet up with you two later. Iām about to make a speech on stage, so please behave.
Chanel walks back towards the main stage that was set up for her. She motions for the DJ to cut the music and she grabs the mic.
CHANEL SNOW: I need for everyone to come to the forefront right here, grab your drinks and come stand in front of your girl for a second.
Majority if the people move towards the stage all standing in front. Chanel looks out the crowd admiring the turnout.
CHANEL SNOW: I want to thank everyone who showed up for the launching of my Let It Snow Products. Today I am premiering some of my new products which include makeup, lipstick, lotions and some facial creams. I also have some new wig styles that are hitting my online store January of next year.
The crowd claps.
CHANEL SNOW: I would have never imagined that my brands would grow and be this big. And just a few moments my agent just informed me that we are ALL SOLD OUT of all products, so yes baby keep those pre orders coming in.
The crowd cheers and Chanel smiles, her agent walks out and hands her a glass of champagne.
CHANEL SNOW: So tonight Iām toasting to a successful business and a successful journey in this thing we called life. I want to thank everyone behind the scenes and everyone in the crowd for coming out and supporting me and my dreams tonight. So please enjoy yourselves and if you see anything you like, I have these fine gentleman walking around carrying iPads and they can place orders for you.
The guys holding the ipads make their way through the crowd placing orders. Chanel hops down off the stage and walks over to Isaiah who is still standing with Trapp.
CHANEL SNOW: This event is amazing.
ISAIAH WOLFE: Yes it is, and even though itās a bunch of corny dudes in the building tonight, itās still turning out to be a good party.
CHANEL SNOW: But whatās up with you two? I donāt think youāve left each otherās side all night.
CONFESSIONAL CAM
CHANEL SNOW: Even though Iāve been all over this room tonight, I still noticed that Trapp and Isaiah were all over each other. Now I could be wrong but with that type of PDA them two must be hooking up.
Chanel laughs.
CHANEL SNOW: But Iām here for it.
The scene cuts back to Chanel, Isaiah, and Trapp.
ISAIAH WOLFE: I noticed that Jalen and Legend are here, for what reason is what Iām having a hard time understanding.
CHANEL SNOW: I invited Jalen and he invited Legend, I didnāt think you would mind and honestly Iām trying to get all the networking and coins I can, I need to make all the money I invested in this line to work out.
TRAPP: Iām cool with Jalen, I havenāt seen him since we broke up but itās no hard feelings on my end.
ISAIAH WOLFE: Well your here with me, so letās not worry about them clowns.
CHANEL SNOW: Oh God, well Iām going to find Brandon and make sure heās good.
ISAIAH WOLFE: Wait Brandon is here, oh boy. I saw Jaser over by the dance floor, this is going to be good.
CONFESSIONAL CAM
ISAIAH WOLFE: Well at least I wonāt have to worry about Jaser getting in my face tonight, everyone knows how thirsty he is for attention. But with Brandon being here, his focus will probably be on him.
The scene cuts back to the three, they make their way through the crowd, stopping and talking with a few people before looking for Brandon. The scene cuts to bathroom, inside Miles Balenciaga and Giovanni Weston are shown. Miles is fixing his hair in the mirror while Giovanni plays around on Snapchat.
MILES BALENCIAGA: I wouldnāt even snap from this low budget ass party. Chanel should have been ashamed of herself, she probably should have booked me instead of tacky Mysti.
GIOVANNI WESTON: Itās not that bad.
MILES BALENCIAGA: We should have hit Hammerjacks down the block, at least they have free alcohol til 1.
GIOVANNI WESTON: Well we can leave if you want.
MILES BALENCIAGA: You just want to leave because you saw your ex here with another man, let that trash go. He is a true definition of a homie hopper, playboy has had more dick than a STD clinic and didnāt he have one of those?
CONFESSIONAL CAM
MILES BALENCIAGA: I probably sound like a hater but oh well, I cannot stand the sight of Isaiah. And it frustrates me that Giovanni allows Isaiah to get in his head like that. I get this isnāt my fight but Giovanni is my friend and I will always ride out for my friends.
The scene cuts back to Miles and Giovanni still inside the bathroom.
GIOVANNI WESTON: Whoa! Wow Miles!
MILES BALENCIAGA: Hey the truth hurts. But we need to figure something out because Iām tired of hiding in this bathroom.
Miles looks around the bathroom, he sighs.
MILES BALENCIAGA: This bathroom is disgusting.
The door to the restroom swings open and Isaiah walks in. He notices both Miles and Giovanni in the mirror and he laughs sarcastically.
ISAIAH WOLFE: Oh this is funny.
MILES BALENCIAGA: Yes your whole existence is funny, I noticed you outside with Jalenās leftovers. I guess Delonte kicked you to the curb so you went for the next available dick that could get hard for you.
ISAIAH WOLFE: Look if you want to throw hands we can, because Iām tired of your mouth.
MILES BALENCIAGA: Try me.
GIOVANNI WESTON: Yo chill.
CONFESSIONAL CAM
GIOVANNI WESTON: This was going left way too quick, and as for Miles, I donāt know what his problem was but he need to come off 10 and knock it down a couple notches.
The scene cuts back to the three in the bathroom.
ISAIAH WOLFE: If we was standing outside, I would have thrown hands but since this is Chanelās party and I want to respect her, then I wonāt even entertain those comments but trust weāll see each other again.
MILES BALENCIAGA: Iām right here.
Miles starts to walk towards Isaiah but security rushes in from the outside and standing in between the two.
ISAIAH WOLFE: Itās not even worth it, Iāll use the other bathroom because this one stinks. Hey Gio, if you want to talk then we can talk but make sure you leave your hyena at home.
MILES BALENCIAGA: Ya mother a hyena bitch.
Isaiah just laughs shaking his head at Miles, he turns and walks out of the bathroom leaving the two and the scene fades to the front entry. Trinity is shown entering the venue along with a tall muscular man walking alongside her. His arm is wrapped gently around her waist as he escorts her toward the bar.
CONFESSIONAL CAM
TRINITY MONROE: Chanel and I have just been getting closer and closer after we fixed our issues last season. We work a lot better together than we do apart. So of course i was going to come support her at her launch. I'm all about seeing my peers win. These are the types of events i want to be behind. Now i can't lie, I'm a little skeptical that there won't be any drama. She did invite EVERYBODY. And everybody isn't too fond with one another. I think i'll stay by the doorā¦.
She pauses, flipping her hair
TRINITY MONROE: Just in case. The girls like to fight. And this is a new unit. She doesn't wanna fall victim to being an innocent bystander.
The scene returns the venue. Trinity's mystery guy is shown pulling out a seat for her at the bar. She blushes as she takes her seat.
CONFESSIONAL CAM
TRINITY MONROE: The last time you a saw me i was being wined and dined, spoiled and pampered by Mr. Storm Reynolds. Things were perfect, as they always are in the beginning. But i started to see little red flags here and there, and that fairy tale quickly ended. So i have been dating around here and there. I met Kyng a few months ago at one of my events. And we've gone on a few dates and so far no red flagsā¦.
She pauses sarcastically
TRINITY MONROE: So farā¦. let's hope it stays that way.
The scene returns to the venue. Kyng grabs the attention of one of the bartenders.
BARTENDER: What can I getcha?
KYNG PRENTICE: Lemme get a double shot a henny. Matter fact, make that two. And a long island iced tea for the lady.
BARTENDER: Absolutely, let me get that right for you guys.
The scene shifts to Jaser in Confessional
CONFESSIONAL CAM
JASER CRUZ: The party was going good. Even though Riley and Kaliyah joked about crashing I doubt theyād show up. At this point I was glad I hadnāt ran into any of the sideline players that love ya one minute shade and hate on you the next. But the night is still young so weāll see what happens.
Jaser waves his hand in a bye motion as the scene fades over to Brandon who notices Jaser heading towards his direction.
CONFESSIONAL CAM
BRANDON YOUNGā¢ANDREWS: At first I said I wasnāt going to do anything or say anything because this was Chanelās party, but once I saw that punk walking my wear, I blacked out.
Suddenly the screen goes black and all you hear are screams and glasses break. The scene shows Brandon climbing on one of the bar chairs and leaping off crashing through security and knocking Jaser to the ground, the two waste no time going back and forth throwing hands.
SECURITY: BREAK IT UP!
Security pulls the two apart, and Brandon screams at Jaser, he grabs a few glasses filled with alcohol and tosses them towards Jaser connecting with one but missing with the others.
BRANDON YOUNGā¢ANDREWS: Let him go, let that bitch go.
CHASE LIU: Babe stop!
Jaser goes underneath the security guards arm and grabs Brandon by the face with his left hand and then slams his face down onto the bar. Jaser pulls him off the bar and slams him on the ground before grabbing Brandon in a headlock. Jaser is able to land two punches cleanly before security is able to pull them apart finally. Jaser is shown laughing as he realizes heās bleeding from the glass Brandon threw.
JASER CRUZ: Thatās the best you got puto? Throwing drinks like the power bottom bitch you are.
Jaser grabs a glass trying to return the favor but Chase grabs his arm stopping him. Chanel is shown rushing over to the two with a mic in hand.
CHANEL SNOW: THIS WILL NOT HAPPEN, NOT HERE! SECURITY! ESCORT BOTH OF THESE GUYS OUT!
Security go to grab both Brandon and Jaser, but the two brush the security away leaving on their own. Before walking away Brandon mouths āHeās sorryā before heading towards the exit. Chanel shakes her head in disgust facing her crowd.
CHANEL SNOW: Forgive me for the incident that just occurred but it has been taken care of and we can all go back to partying. The next round of drinks are on me!
Chanel drops the mic and motions for the DJ to play the music. She starts to walk towards the bar but notices two faces walking through the front door that wasnāt invited to the party.
CONFESSIONAL CAM
CHANEL SNOW: The fact that Brandon and Jaser just got into brawl wasnāt enough, now I have these two uninvited rats trying to crash my event.
The scene cuts back to the outside to show Kaliyah and Riley pulling up and walking up to the entrance while giving Jaser a confused look as he walks out. Riley bearhugs Jaser and gives him a playful kiss on the cheek before continuing top walk in. Just then it cuts to his confessional.
RILEY: If I can be honest? Iām just here to be petty n shit. I aināt forgot how them niggas crashed me and my twinās birthday party last year and started a fight. *he shrugs* And Kali donāt like these niggas, too?! We finna act up, my niggaaaaaaaaa!!!!!!
It cuts to show Riley and Kali in the party snickering at the products and wigs Chanel has on display.
RILEY: Whew, chile, the ghetto.
KALIYAH KANE: Ghettooooooooo.
Kali picks up a wig, shaking it and more than a few loose strands fall out. She and Riley look at each other laughing and toss the shedding wig back on the table
KALIYAH KANE: These bootleg ass synthetic wigs, she ought to be ashamed of herself. Straight dusty.
CONFESSIONAL CAM
KALIYAH KANE: I was going to leave the pettiness with Chanel alone but she will never learn. Sheāll continue bumping those helicopter lips asking for the trouble while claiming she donāt want none.
Chanel is shown making a beeline to them, but they brush right on by and shut her down before she could say anything.
RILEY: Move the fuck from by us, Jynx.
KALIYAH KANE: You heard him! Get back in your pokeball!
Kali and Riley hop up in the DJ booth to whisper in the DJs ear and he starts blaring āShe Twerkinā by CA$H OUT through the speakers. Just then Kali hops back down to the floor, swings her hair to the side and starts a twerk group in the middle of the room with a few of the guests joining in. Riley, already with a glass in his hand, grabs a mic to hype them up.
RILEY: Ayyyyyyyyyye!! THOW DAT! TWERK DAT! SHAKE DAT! BOUNCE DAT!
Riley hops down handing Kali a drink as they start to dance together. Chanel attempts to roll up on them again but Riley throws his arm with his drink to the side āaccidentallyā throwing it in Chanelās face. Chanel stands there stunned as Kali switches places with Riley and āaccidentallyā does the same thing with her drink. Kali sticks her out with a smile on her face and dares Chanel to do something about it as she continues dancing. Riley continues vibing with the crowd as the song switches and the full bird jumps out.
RILEY & THE CROWD: SLOB ON MY KNOB! LIKE CORN ON A COB! CHECK IN WIT ME! AND DO YA JOB!
It cuts to his confessional.
RILEY: Sooooo, arenāt the guests supposed to have fun and enjoy the party youāre throwing? Liyah and I are guest and weāre having fun soā¦
Riley gives a thumbs up as it cuts back to them jamming with the crowd in the middle of the dance floor. Chanel throws her hands up likes she given up and walks towards the exit as the scene fades and reopens to the bathroom area, Sean is shown leaving out the bathroom while Dax was making his way in, the two stop and chat.
SEAN WILLIAMS: I hope your having fun minus all the drama that just went down out there. This is why I donāt attend a lot of events because it always ends up in a fight, especially with this group.
DAX BECKETT: Yeah, it's a little extra up in here, but the drinks are free, so why not?
They share a bit of a laugh for a moment.
SEAN WILLIAMS: But anyway, I meant to ask you earlier when I saw you if you wanted to hang out alone, you know catch up.
DAX BECKETT: You know, I think that would be cool. I need to just let loose after all this crazy. It wouldn't be a bad idea to catch up and have someone on my side in case one of these guys wants to pop off on me.
Dax walks over to the stall shamelessly as he puts down his zipper to do his business as he continues the conversation.
CONFESSIONAL CAM
SEAN WILLIAMS: Like I said before I knew Dax from way back, even though we didnāt have a close relationship, it wouldnāt hurt to get to know him. I needed to be more open minded and start meeting people so maybe this would be a good start for me, especially since itās some history there.
The scene cuts back to Sean and Dax as he washes his hands.
SEAN WILLIAMS: I can put my number in your phone, text me your number and then we can make plans.
Dax hands Sean his cellphone and Sean dials his number calling his phone.
SEAN WILLIAMS: There!
DAX BECKETT: Sounds good man. I'll hit you up later for sure.
Dax pats Sean on the shoulder as he brings him in for a hug and a smile. Security is shown still escorting people from the building, the two release from their hug and exit out together as the scene fades.
