The scene opens up the next day, the final day in Greece. Yeshua and Trapp decided to head back early because of obligations they have elsewhere but everyone else is still ripping and running around Greece. The scene shows Austin and Todrick working out on the beach, it switches to Silas and Malachi enjoying some morning coffee on the balcony of their room, the scene cuts to Jordan Parker-Kane who is shown scrolling through some emails while lying on one of the outdoor couches. The scene then cuts to the unaired footage of Amonte and Geon having a conversation about what is being said when Amonte isn’t around.
GEON TAYLOR: Alexis came to me and Amaya about what's going on in the blogs. She said there was a whole conversation about it between Todrick and his clan on their party bus.. I told her I didn’t know anything about it.
AMONTE JORDAN: I don’t understand why it's any of her business, neither you nor Keon have asked me.
GEON TAYLOR: Who knows man, you know some of them have it out for you, I wouldn’t be surprised if one of them put the nasty rumor out.
AMONTE JORDAN: Well no one should entertain that stupid rumor, not even my friends.
GEON TAYLOR: I don't understand why he's questioning me about this. I felt like I was being a good friend by telling him. Instead of whispering about it behind his back. Those are big allegations. He should address them sooner than later. I did the right thing by bringing it up and he'll thank me for it later.
The scene then cuts to Amonte screaming at some of the cast after last night’s tour of Greece. The scene then cuts to Amonte in his room with Amaya and Keon by his side. Keon is shown eating some peanuts that were brought in from room service and Amaya was shown answering a couple emails on her macbook pro.
AMONTE JORDAN: I’m at the point where I’m starting to think I can’t trust anyone. It's one thing to ask a question and move on but the constant conversation regarding my family and the accusations in the blogs is starting to piss me off. My friends should already know the truth, I’ve shut the rumors down once, that was enough.
PRODUCER: Maybe they’re concerned, it seems like each day more evidence is coming out, it looks pretty serious.
Amonte shakes his head.
AMONTE JORDAN: In your eyes it's serious, but in mine it's a bunch of bullshit.
The scene cuts back to the three.
AMONTE JORDAN: I guess the breakfast was cancelled.
AMAYA COLE: No, it's still happening.
AMONTE JORDAN: I don’t want to be there, I’m actually thinking about flying back early alone just so I can have some peace and quiet.
KEON CAMP: That's a bit much, we all flew here together.
AMONTE JORDAN: I understand that but I’m saying I want to fly back alone, don’t worry I’ll make sure you guys fly back in class but I’ve already called for my private jet to come and pick me up. It should be here shortly.
PRODUCER: Why are you leaving early and without your friends?
Amonte shrugs.
AMONTE JORDAN: I do what I want, my friends weren’t worried about me when the opps were walking around spreading and repeating lies about me and my family now were they? If I want to be petty and ride alone in my private jet back to the states then I’ll do just that.
Amonte smirks and the scene cuts back to the three.
AMAYA COLE: Don’t worry Keon, Amonte isn’t the only one who has private jet money.
KEON CAMP: I just think it's messed up that he's kind of putting the blame on us for other people's actions.
AMONTE JORDAN: Key, you don’t want this fight.
KEON CAMP: No, I don’t think you want this fight because you know you are in the wrong. I’ve always had your back when it came to that stupid rumor. But I really can’t say the same about you, it seems like you rarely have my back in any situation. Ewe
KEON CAMP: I was a little annoyed that Amonte was leaving Greece early and without us, some friend right? I get he’s mad that people amongst the group were discussing the issues he has going on in the blogs but that isn’t my fault nor is it anyone else's fault that runs in our tight circle.
PRODUCER: Are you sure it's not about the private jet?
Keon shakes his head no.
KEON CAMP: Hell no, I don’t care how I fly just as long as I make it back safely. My problem with Amonte is he never takes ownership for the shit he does but always expect everyone else too, I guess he forgot he is one of the reasons why my ex and I broke up, yeah I know I was the one that stepped out but instead of him blasting it to my ex, I should have. I still hold some resentment towards him for that, no lie.
The scene cuts back to three.
AMONTE JORDAN: Now I know you're tripping for you to even let that leave your mouth. I always have your back! Lets not forget who allowed you to sleep on the couch when your father threw you out, I basically helped raise you, I supported you, bought you clothes and fed you so don’t ever disrespect me like that.
AMAYA COLE: Guys chill out.
KEON CAMP: Anytime you get the chance you always throw that in my face, I know what the fuck you’ve done for me because you never let me forget it.
AMONTE JORDAN: Do you have a problem with me or something? Because if you do let me know now.
AMONTE JORDAN: Keon is feeling bold tonight, if he has a problem with me then this is the first time i’m hearing about it. Whatever the problem is shouldn’t be that serious, I’ve done more for Keon than anyone else he’s surrounded by so I suggest he keeps quiet and plays his position as my friend.
Amonte winks at the camera and the scene cuts back to the three.
KEON CAMP: You know what, I’ll just go and get ready for breakfast.
AMONTE JORDAN: Yeah you do that.
Keon shakes his head as he exits the room leaving Amaya and Amonte alone.
AMAYA COLE: Amonte you have to chill out, if anyone who is in your corner you should trust besides me it would be Keon, that man basically worships the ground you walk on.
AMONTE JORDAN: I don’t need him to do that, I just need him to be a friend.
AMAYA COLE: He’s always been a friend to you Monte, I just think everything that's going on is stressing you out and you're lashing out at the wrong people. We all had an amazing time here in Greece and to be honest I wish you would just fly back with the rest of us but I know you’ve already made up your mind.
AMONTE JORDAN: I have, I’m out of this place. I will catch up with Keon when he gets back to NY and has a better attitude.
Amaya shakes her head, Amonte starts packing his suitcase up and the scene fades and reopens inside of Austin and Todrick’s room. Austin rolls off of Todrick, and they both lay there sweaty and staring at the ceiling. Todrick rolls over, as does Austin, and they look into each other's eyes.
TODRICK: Boy you keep that up, and you're gonna have to give me your last name.
Austin grins.
AUSTIN: I think it’s finally time. I’m happy cause this has been burning a hole in my pocket.
The scene cuts back to the room.
AUSTIN: What if I did just that? What if I told you that I want to spend the rest of my life with you, what would you say to that?
Todrick searches his expression and his eyes and can see that Austin is completely serious.
Todrick covers her face and squeals with excitement.
TODRICK: Is he about to do what I think he’s about to do? I’ve been waiting for this moment for my entire life.
The scene cuts back to Austin and Todrick.
TODRICK: What are you saying, Austin?
Austin rolls over and opens the nightstand and takes out a small ring box. He hops out of the bed and wraps a towel around him. He makes his way over to Todrick’s side of the bed and gets down on one knee. Todrick sits up and covers her mouth with her hands. Austin gently takes her left hand.
AUSTIN: Todrick Tabor, I love you with every fiber of my being. You have seen me at my best and at my worst. You have never left my side and I cannot imagine a moment of any day without you by my side. Will you do me the honor of taking my last name and becoming my partner until the end of time?
Austin patiently waits as the tears form in Todrick’s eyes, and begin to roll down her cheeks. Austin puts the rather large ring on her finger.
TODRICK: OMG Austin. Yes, Yes, YES!
Austin stands up and grabs Todrick, and begins kissing her. The two fall back on the bed and Austin’s towel flies towards the camera. The scene fades and reopens in one of the hotel's banquet halls, inside is a beautiful setup of different breakfast foods including some of Greece’s very own recipes. London is shown entering the hall with his husband Anthony King at his side, the two make their way over to the table and both sit down.
LONDON CARTER-KING: Greece has been a wonderful experience. I've enjoyed my time here with this group and also enjoyed the alone time that I had with my man but now we have to get back to reality and the stresses of life back home. But before we leave I decided to have a little breakfast and get together with the group one last time before we all head back to NY.
London pauses for a second as he realizes that the majority of the group won’t be in attendance.
LONDON CARTER-KING: It sucks that some of the cast decided to leave early, but I can’t control their actions. So for the people who are still here, let’s eat and enjoy the small amount of time we have left here.
The scene cuts back to the breakfast table with London and Anthony.
ANTHONY KING: The food looks good, but I think I’m still full from last night, whatever you brought to the room I feel like is still sitting in my stomach.
LONDON CARTER-KING: No one told you to eat all that food last night boy, but it's cool I’ll rub your stomach later.
ANTHONY KING: I was hungry as hell. But listen I’m going to grab some of this food and head back to the room to finish packing and getting our son ready.
LONDON CARTER-KING: Damn Ant, I thought you would at least stay for breakfast, it's the last one with the group.
ANTHONY KING: Look I told you this is your thing, not mine. I love you, okay!
Anthony kisses London on the cheek and he gets up from the chair and starts preparing a plate for himself. The scene cuts to the hallway where Amaya and Keon are shown entering the room.
AMAYA COLE: I’m so happy this trip is almost over, after this breakfast we’re all heading to the airport to get the hell back to NY. I wouldn’t even act this way if it wasn’t for Amonte’s overreacting, look he's my friend and all but certain shit you gotta let go.
Amaya shrugs.
AMAYA COLE: Maybe we’re just built differently, because I know I wouldn’t let rumors or what people say affect me, but that's just me. I just hate that I have to be the person that delivers the news of Amonte’s quick departure but then again they probably won’t care.
The scene cuts back to Amaya and Keon reaching the table, they both say their hello’s to London before sitting down and making themselves comfortable.
AMAYA COLE: Everything smells so good.
LONDON CARTER-KING: The chef made a lot of food for us, I wanted everyone to enjoy Greece’s fine dining before we got back to the states.
KEON CAMP: This looks amazing but I miss home.
LONDON CARTER-KING: Well don’t worry we’ll all be there soon. But where is Amonte? I know his sister left early for emergency reasons but where is he? Normally when I see you, I see him.
Amaya sighs.
AMAYA COLE: Amonte flew back to New York this morning, last night wasn’t a good night for him, things kind of got out of hand so he decided to split early.
LONDON CARTER-KING: Damn, well what happened?
KEON CAMP: He’s upset because certain people in the group were discussing his personal business and he wasn’t happy about it.
LONDON CARTER-KING: Oh, you're talking about the fraud allegations against his family?
Both Amaya and Keon nod their heads “Yes”.
LONDON CARTER-KING: Ah makes sense, I can understand his frustration but let’s be serious here. It’s all over the news so of course people are going to talk about it, but I don’t think it’s that serious where he needed to leave early and especially not tell me. I mean I am the host, hello!
AMAYA COLE: I agree, I tried to get him to stay but he wasn’t having it.
KEON CAMP: It’s childish if you asked me but that’s my friend, he just needs time to cool off and when he does I’ll talk to him.
KEON CAMP: I’ve had issues with Amonte in the past so normally when he has his outbursts or at tidies I just leave him alone until he reaches out to me. I just want him to understand that it wasn’t me spreading or repeating rumors, if someone asks me I quickly shut the conversation down or change the topic, I just wish he would have given me a chance to explain.
Keon shrugs.
KEON CAMP: But that’s Amonte for you, like I said I’m sure he’ll get over it by the time he gets back to NY.
The scene cuts back to the group, next to walk in were Malachi and Silas Sharpe, the two gentlemen acknowledge everyone in the room before taking their seats.
MALACHI STONE: I was able to convince Silas to join us for breakfast this morning, something told me to watch him closely because I knew he was going to try and sneak out, I don’t think he enjoyed Greece as much as everyone else did but I was able to talk him into at least sitting with us now, like come on now, these are our final hours in Greece, lets freaking enjoy it!
The scene cuts back to the table.
MALACHI STONE: It looks like the group is getting smaller and smaller, we’re missing a couple people or are we too early?
London laughs.
LONDON CARTER-KING: Nah y’all right on time, we’re still waiting for Austin, Todrick, Paul and I think his girlfriend Alexis is still here and Geon.
MALACHI STONE: Where’s Amonte?
LONDON CARTER-KING: He’s not here, and I hope everyone who sits down at the table doesn’t ask that question because at some point I’ll get annoyed with it.
SILAS: I probably would too.
MALACHI STONE: Doesn’t surprise me that he ran off, he’s the type to cause drama and then disappear especially when it's about to blow up in his face.
MALACHI STONE: I will admit Amonte and I have a rocky relationship, we used to date back in the day but now we're just friends, strictly friends. But we're the type of friends that’ll beef for a week and then snap back like nothing ever happened.
Malachi snaps his fingers while shaking his finger.
MALACHI STONE: And since we have such an up and down relationship I’ve always kept him at a distance, but what I’ve learned about Mr. Jordan is that he can be a sneaky little devil, he’s always stirring the pot and like I said catching amnesia or going MIA when he knows shit is about to turn around on him.
PRODUCER: Do you think the rumors about his family are true?
MALACHI STONE: I can’t say whether the rumors are true or not but what I can say is that Amonte is keeping very quiet about the situation, I’ve heard he’s denied all allegations towards his family in the beginning since then more allegations have come forward and he’s kept his mouth shut! I just want to know if he used any of the money his parents allegedly stole to fund his Eye Wear line.
Malachi makes a shady face while sipping on his water with a straw in it, the scene cuts back to the group.
LONDON CARTER-KING: I don’t know much about that, all I know is that he left earlier and he won’t be joining us for breakfast.
Keon turns and looks at Malachi.
KEON CAMP: Wait a minute, I thought y’all were friends.
SILAS: I thought the same thing.
MALACHI STONE: If friends can’t speak the truth about each other then I wouldn’t call it a real friendship.
KEON CAMP: That's a conversation you two should have privately, not here with everyone else while he isn’t present, looks pretty fake to me.
MALACHI STONE: And you would know the word fake really well, listen Keon we all know you are Amonte’s little puppet, you two aren’t really friends.
KEON CAMP: I’ve been around for years, you’ve been around a few seconds, so know your place.
AMAYA COLE: Ok woah guys, this is going left to quick.
LONDON CARTER-KING: Yes it is, can we just have one day without the extra shit.
LONDON CARTER-KING: I don’t know who lit the firecracker under Malachi’s ass today, but he’s on 1,000.
The scene cuts back to the group.
KEON CAMP: I’m good, Malachi is the one over here being messy as fuck.
MALACHI STONE: Never messy, but I make sure that when I speak, nothing but truth leaves my lips but I can’t say the same about you. But we’ll save that for another day because I don’t want to ruin this nice breakfast that London put together for us.
KEON CAMP: Your presence here has already ruined it. But carry on!
MALACHI STONE: You are really miserable huh, I would be too if I played second to a man who is still married and in love with his husband. It’s sad that we come from the same generation but my brain works a lot harder than yours. It must be the marijuana, leave it alone.
Malachi lifts his orange juice that he spiked with a little alcohol up to his lips and takes a sip while everyone watches on speechless waiting for Keon to respond.
KEON CAMP: I’m not going to sit here and entertain Malachi’s bullshit for much longer, I know he wants a moment and to solidify his spot on the show but you came on as an extra, a seat filler so I suggest he stay in his lane, especially if he wants to make it to another season.
The scene cuts back to the group.
MALACHI STONE: Crickets? Oh ok. Now you carry on!
KEON CAMP: Oh no it's no crickets, I just choose not to respond to ignorance. Didn’t you just say London put together a nice breakfast for us, so instead of me going back and forth with trash like you, I’ve decided to ignore the bullshit and focus on this delicious breakfast I have in front of me.
MALACHI STONE: Trash? I wouldn’t go that far to call someone trash when you sir are out here publicly laying up with a married man who barely claims you. You went from a failed fashion designer to a failed rapper who happens to be married, so I wouldn’t call anyone else trash but yourself.
MALACHI STONE: The audacity of him calling me trash when he cheated on his ex and then ended up being someone’s side whore, someone better tell little Keon about me because I will drag his ass back to New York.
Malachi snaps both his fingers and neck at the camera, the scene cuts back to the group which at this moment were silent, no words left anyones mouths.
LONDON CARTER-KING: I don’t know where you found this man, but y’all need to send him back to where he came from, someone call UPS, we need overnight shipping!
AMAYA COLE: I legit gagged, like poor Keon.
Q
SILAS:
The scene cuts back to the group.
MALACHI STONE: Nothing to say?
Keon just sits there silent, he doesn’t even look at Malachi.
MALACHI STONE: Thought so, anyway! London I apologize for acting out, but sometimes you have to check a bitch and that bitch needs to be checked.
LONDON CARTER-KING: You guys remind me so much of what I used to go through with the group or friends i had at one point, I’ve lost some and I’ve kept some but it's just crazy the similarities we share. I think a lot of the shit you guys are fighting about is stupid and it's really none of your businesses, I mean everyone is so concerned about peoples fashion and networth but never take the time out to ask themselves why? What he wears or she has in her bank account shouldn’t affect you all, it's just stupid.
AMAYA COLE: I’ve always said the same thing, since I’ve signed onto this show whether it's on or off the show you have never seen me get into with people because if it's not making me money or causing me harm to my life or my families then why am I arguing or fighting? From start to finish this trip has been on an emotional rollercoaster and it's so draining.
LONDON CARTER-KING: Maybe you guys should try group counseling, I don’t know but sitting around bashing each other all day everyday isn’t going to help.
KEON CAMP: …….
KEON CAMP: At this point I have no words for the rest of this little breakfast thing, once we’re done here then I’m going straight to my room and packing my shit and getting the hell out of Greece.
The scene cuts back to the group, a few minutes of awkward silence goes by and Austin and Todrick are strolling towards the group, coming in just behind them is Jordan Parker-Kane. Both Austin and Todrick are glowing and Todrick’s ring is catching the sunlight, while Jordan is quietly looking down with sunglasses on. They get to the table and see everyone’s somber faces.
TODRICK TABOR: Bitch how? How are they already looking like a battle has gone down. Chile, let the story be told later and it will be me and Austin that caused it. I must really be a bad bitch to cause drama and I wasn’t even there.
Todrick giggles and the scene cuts back to the table. Austin and Todrick sit down next to Amaya. Jordan takes a seat on the other side of them. Austin and Todrick continue to hold hands and look at the group.
AUSTIN RAMSEY: Good morning everyone. At least I think it is, from the looks on your faces, perhaps not.
Todrick is all smiles and seems unbothered by the somber faces.
TODRICK TABOR: Honey, we need some mimosas to liven this party up. It’s our last morning here. Plus I have news.
TODRICK TABOR: I don’t expect everyone to be happy for me, but some will and this is so special for me.
PRODUCER: Why not wait and share with family and friends?
TODRICK TABOR: Honestly, it would be more of the same. Not everyone will be happy about it because of Austin’s past but they don’t have to love him, I do. I need them to respect my decisions. Afterall, they are living their lives, so let me do me.
The scene cuts back and Todrick holds his hand up and the sun catches the diamond in his ring.
TODRICK TABOR : I’s getting married, y’all!
Austin beams with pride and leans over and gives Todrick a quick kiss.
LONDON CARTER•KING: Oh shit, congratulations
LONDON CARTER•KING: That’s amazing news, shit at least something good happened on this trip. Well I have a great time but I can’t say the same for the rest of these guys but hey they can sit around with the sourpuss faces, I’m happy for Todrick and Austin and it’s time to celebrate.
The scene cuts back to the group. Jordan looks around and smiles at his friends
JORDAN PARKER•KANE: Congratulations guys!
JORDAN PARKER•KANE: Yeah, I already knew but I'm very happy for them even if I don't look it.
PRODUCER: Are you hungover?
JORDAN PARKER•KANE: Mayyybeee!
Cut back to the scene at the breakfast table.
KEON CAMP: Oh, yeah congratulations.
Keon says sarcastically while rolling his eyes, he doesn’t even look in their direction and continues eating his food. Amaya turns and hugs both Austin and Todrick.
AMAYA COLE: I’m so happy for you guys.
MALACHI STONE: I don’t know you guys that well but marriage and love is a beautiful thing, so I wish you both well and success.
Malachi smiles towards their direction.
MALACHI STONE: Honestly I don’t know Austin and Todrick like that and even though Amonte and I are friends and I will always be loyal to Amonte but I can be friends with whoever I want to be friends with. Right now Austin nor Todrick has done anything to me that would prevent us from having a friendship and honestly I love to see gays get married, I love everlasting long because it’s not common in our lifestyle.
Malachi shrugs.
MALACHI STONE: But love always wins in my eyes, so congratulations to them.
The scene cuts back to the group.
TODRICK TABOR: So we all peeped Ms. Keon being a messy melon right? Why did she roll her eyes? You mad because my relationship is real and you are one ass whopping away from that man’s husband dotting those eyes and crossing those T’s? She is so fake, and jealous of a real bitch with a ring that can actually be shown in public. Heaux all your relationships are a failure like you, but carry on, Sis.
Todrick pulls Austin’s head away before he sees the look Keon gave them. Austin is on cloud nine, and could care less what is going on around them except well wishes.
AUSTIN: I told y’all, I was gonna put a ring on that. I ain’t worried about a heaux present or gone home that spends more time at the club than the bank. Most of these heauxs are squares but there is a few of em’ that ain’t did shit to #TeamRamsey. So I fucks with them. I’m ready to go, I’m fucking horny. But we gotta sit here with wack bitches that agree with what the opps say for relevance. I guarantee, I’m on the couch next to Miles, at the reunion, so shout out to the ones that rode my dick all season.
The scene cuts back to Austin giving Todrick a quick peck on the cheek, the group continues eating their breakfast and celebrating the engagement news and the scene fades and reopens inside of Keon’s home, Keon is shown running around trying to make sure his house looks nice enough for his parents when they arrive. Keon rushes into the kitchen and starts whipping down the counter before moving to the sink to finish the dishes that were left in the sink.
KEON CAMP: I swear I didn’t want to leave Greece, minus the drama. I honestly had a good time but now it’s back to reality and today my parents are coming over to check out my new place.
Keon pauses.
KEON CAMP: This is a bittersweet moment because this will prove to my parents that I’m able to make it on my own without help from them or anyone else. I’m sure my mother will be proud but as for my father, that’s another story.
The scene cuts back to Keon inside of his kitchen, he hears the doorbell ring and he rushes to the front door. He walks pass the mirror hanging beside the front door and he stares at himself for a second before opening the door and greeting his parents.
KEON CAMP: Mommy! Daddy!
KENDRA CAMP: Son, I’m so happy to see you.
Kendra walks in and hugs Keon tight, she lets him go and makes her way inside looking around. Robert on the other hand stands in the doorway and finishes a cigar he had lit. He looks Keon up and down before walking inside.
KEON CAMP: It’s great to see you too.
Keon shakes his head and he closes the door.
KEON CAMP: I can already see that my father has an attitude.
The scene cuts back to Keon and his parents, Keon gives them a quick tour before heading into the main living room.
KENDRA CAMP: I love it son, it fits you.
KEON CAMP: Thank you mommy.
KENDRA CAMP: I’m so proud of you and what you’ve accomplished this past year, even with a pandemic out you’ve really proved yourself as a hard worker.
KEON CAMP: It’s been tough trust me but I wasn’t going to give up, that’s one thing I learned from you two is to never give up.
ROBERT CAMP: I wish you would have learned a couple other traits.
Robert mumbles under his breath, but you already know those life mics caught the tea.
KEON CAMP: What’s that supposed to mean?
KENDRA CAMP: Rob, don’t start. This is a moment where we should be proud of our son and not judge him.
ROBERT CAMP: Proud? Ha!
Robert chuckles sarcastically causing Keon to get irritated.
KEON CAMP: What the hell is your problem?
KENDRA CAMP: Key, calm down.
KEON CAMP: I am calm, dad is the one coming in my home with a shitty attitude, I guess he can’t look past my sexuality to congratulate me on my accomplishments, it’s that hard huh?
KENDRA CAMP: STOP IT! We just sat down and we haven’t been here five freaking minutes and you two are already at each other’s necks.
ROBERT CAMP: What do you want me to say Keon? You want me to say I’m proud of you? Well I will never say that until you live right, you're not living right.
KEON CAMP: Dad just stop.
KENDRA CAMP: Yes Robert stop it, you promised me in the car that you weren’t going to do this.
ROBERT CAMP: I need a drink.
Robert hops up from the chair and walks into the kitchen leaving Keon and his mother alone. Keon starts getting emotional but tries to hold back his tears because he doesn’t want his father to see him upset. Kendra walks over to Keon and sits down beside him, she starts to comfort him.
KENDRA CAMP: I’m sorry Keon. I don’t understand why he hasn’t come around, it’s been so long.
KEON CAMP: All I ever wanted was for him to be proud of me, for him to love me as his son, not as his gay son but his SON.
KENDRA CAMP: He does love you Key, stop that.
KEON CAMP: Growing up I hid the fact that I was gay, I was always scared of what would happen if my parents ever found out. Once they did, my mother was upset but even after I told her she told me that it was a change she would have to adjust too but she promised me that she would never leave my side. I feel like I brought up a lot of the issues my parents are having because of my sexuality. I remember when my father kicked me out of the house after he found out, my mother would sneak me in and let me wash up, she would give me money and she always made sure I had something to eat.
Keon sighs.
KEON CAMP: And it would piss my dad off that my mother would continue to help me. Years later and even with me being independent he still doesn’t accept me and that hurts the most. My father may not love me but I will always love him.
Keon wipes a tear from his face and the scene cuts back to Keon and his mother.
KENDRA CAMP: Key, there is something I need to talk to you about.
KEON CAMP: What is it?
KENDRA CAMP: I think me and your father might be getting a divorce.
KEON CAMP: What? Wait! Why?
KENDRA CAMP: Things just aren’t the same anymore Keon, I’m not happy and the way he treats you and has treated you for years now has hurt me and I’m not putting up with it anymore. I’ve been talking to a lawyer and I may need your help.
Before Keon could respond his father walked back into the room.
ROBERT CAMP: Let’s go Kendra, I’m ready to go to the hotel.
KEON CAMP: No, I thought you guys were staying here.
ROBERT CAMP: Never! Who knows what kind of queer shit you do in here, let’s go Kendra I’m ready to go.
KENDRA CAMP: I love you son, I will call you later.
KEON CAMP: Now I really felt bad, I can’t believe my mom just said she was thinking about filing for divorce. And it’s obvious that my dad doesn’t know what’s coming his way. I needed to talk to my mom alone and figure out what the hell was going on.
The scene cuts back to Keon and his parents.
KEON CAMP: That’s ridiculous Dad, just stay here.
ROBERT CAMP: Look I told you I’m not staying here, we've seen the news and the mess you're involved in, you're out here sleeping with a married man, it’s bad enough you sleep with men period but a MARRIED ONE? You're pathetic. LETS GO KENDRA!
Robert grabs Kendra’s arm and forces her towards the door.
KEON CAMP: I don’t know what happened, I just blacked out.
The scene cuts back to Keon and his parents, Keon is shown lunging towards his father pushing him to the ground. Keon balls his fist up as if he was going to hit him but hearing the cries from his mother forces him to back off.
KEON CAMP: GET HIM THE HELL OUT OF MY HOUSE!
Security rushes over to Robert and helps him to his feet, Robert pushes the security away and he turns and walks out the door. Kendra looks at Keon and mouths ``I'm sorry” to him before walking out the door and the scene fades and reopens with A’Leah and her confessional.
PRODUCER: First and foremost, how are you?
The scene opens up with A’Leah’s confessional, she tries to bring herself to smile or even look happy but after the past couple of days it’s been hard for her to find happiness.
A’LEAH JORDAN: I’m alive, I guess that’s what matters.
A’leah sighs.
PRODUCER: Can you tell us what happened and why you made the decision to leave the show?
A’LEAH JORDAN: It’s so hard to talk about even though it’s been a few days now, it’s still fresh. I was with child and Malik and I were so excited about becoming parents. I thought I did everything necessary to have a healthy pregnancy but I guess it wasn’t my time.
Tears start to form in A’Leah’s eyes, she looks away from the camera and one of the producers hands her tissue to wipe the tears from her eyes.
A’LEAH JORDAN: I….I….I quit the show because I know I wouldn’t be in the right headspace to be around a group of people that wanted to argue and fuss all the time. No one knew I was pregnant except for Malik and my brother Amonte, and I just felt like certain people would have judged me or made assumptions of why I miscarried and I didn’t want to go through that.
A’Leah pauses
A’LEAH JORDAN: This is hard, I don’t want to talk about it anymore.
A’Leah gets up from the chair and in the background all you can hear is her crying uncontrollably, the scene fades and reopens inside of the grand Russian Tea Room, located inside of Carnage Hall. Cameras catch glimpses of the amazing venue which is set up with two large runways lines between rows of seating. Cameras then pan to the "backstage" area. Models are chaotically getting dressed while some are getting hair and makeup done. Finally cameras do at one station where Geon is shown getting fitted for an outfit.
GEON TAYLOR: So today is the big day! #AJackcity winter 21/22 is launching and of course yours truly will be apart. I've been the face of #AJackcity since it launched. And I've been loving itm Alex and I have actually become good friends in the process. She came to me because one of our models couldn't show up unfortunately due to covid and asked me to bring along one of my friends. I don't know Jordan too well but of all the people in the group I feel like he would be a perfect fit. And maybe it would give us a chance to get to know each other outside of all the drama that is our friend circle.
He shakes his head as the scene returns to the venue. Alex Jacobs is shown walking toward Geon with a huge smile on her face.
ALEX JACOBS: G!!!
The two hug.
GEON TAYLOR: Miss Jacobs! Oh my goodness! Thank you for having me. Again!
ALEX JACOBS: Of course! You know I couldn't do this without you. And thanks again for bringing your friend! I was going crazy trying to find someone last minute.
GEON TAYLOR: You know I got your back girl. He should be here soon.
He looks over and sees Jordan walking through the madness toward them.
GEON TAYLOR: There he is now actually.
ALEX JACOBS: Oh great.
Geon gets up to introduce the two.
GEON TAYLOR: Hey whats good man! This is Alex. She designed the clothes you'll be wearing
JORDAN PARKER•KANE: Hey Alex. Thanks for having me!
JORDAN PARKER•KANE: I'm very excited for tonight. I've never done anything like this. I've done some modeling for pictures online or like in a catalog. This is new for me. I love to try new things. As much fun as it is to fight people for a living, it's not gonna last forever. I might as well develop some second career options while I can.
Cut back to the scene with Jordan, Geon, and Alex.
JORDAN PARKER•KANE: So what's the next step here?
ALEX JACOBS: We need to get you fitted and then into hair and makeup. And I'm gonna pray that I don't have to have too many alterations. You look close to the same size as the original models. We're gonna work it out. For now just have a seat here. Geon can get you acclimated. I'm gonna run around and make sure this show doesn't fall apart.
Alex excuses herself and frantically makes her way into the madness, leaving Geon alone with Jordan.
GEON TAYLOR: Thanks for coming man. I totally owe you one!
JORDAN PARKER•KANE: No problem at all. Really, I should say thank you for asking me. I can't wait to get started.
JORDAN PARKER•KANE: Now if we can just keep certain people from making the night about them.
GEON TAYLOR: I Know Jordan is apparently pretty close with Austin and Todrick. And with what's going on with me and Amonte apparently having beef because I came to him about those blog reports, it might not be the best idea for me to be even hanging out with him. But this is business. I don't let anyone come in between me and a check. I'm sure Amonte will understand. And to my knowledge Jordan hasn't done anything wrong to Amonte so he shouldn't be too upset.
The scene returns to the two. One of the backstage crew members makes their way over to fit Jordan as the two continue their conversation.
GEON TAYLOR: Man Greece was wild. How did you feel about everything?
JORDAN PARKER•KANE: Certainly some… intense moments. There is a lot of drama within the group. Some of it might be legitimate, but most of it is people being hypocritical and petty. I mean, just because I'm friends with Todrick and Austin I was instantly judged the moment I walked in the door, despite never doing anything to anyone. I'm a big boy, I can handle it. Some however can't seem to take it as well as they can give.
GEON TAYLOR: I feel you man. I did kinda pick up on that. That's kinda also one of the reasons I invited you here too. It's kinda hard to interact with people when everyone around you is fighting about dumb shit.
GEON TAYLOR: It's all definitely been beyond played out. Jordan hit the nose on the head. This group is filled with hypocrites. Not liking people just because of who they're friends with is super elementary, and I've never been that type of guy. Wanted to show Jordan that we aren't all crazy
He chuckles as the scene returns backstage.
GEON TAYLOR: But you definitely did seem to hold your own. That's pretty dope man. I can never really be around it all too long. Amonte is one of my best friends but I even try to tell him, this is all pointless. They just need to figure their shit out forreal
JORDAN PARKER•KANE: I come from a family of petty and sarcastic trolls.
Jordan offers a small shrug.
JORDAN PARKER•KANE: I'm not about all that, and I'll make my opinions on people based on how they act and treat people. Not what others say or what rumors are bouncing around. Especially stupid rumors that don't really effect anyone. Treat me with respect and I'll do the same.
JORDAN PARKER•KANE: Otherwise they can find out what an angry Jordan is like. Half these little bitches I can choke out in under a minute.
Jordan smirks as it flashes back to the backstage area..
GEON TAYLOR: That's a fact. And none of this does anything for anybody. You don't hear any rumors about me because I don't have all my stuff out there in the streets. and I'm about that money. I kinda got the same vibe from you and I respect that.
JORDAN PARKER•KANE: I try to keep my business private. Got two kids, just making sure they have the life they deserve to have.
Their conversation is interrupted by Rose, Alex's assistant.
ROSE MCDOWELL: Hey! Are you Jordan?
JORDAN PARKER•KANE: Yes, that's me.
ROSE MCDOWELL: Perf! I'm Rose. I'm gonna need you to come with me. We need to make sure you're gonna fit these looks. They were already tailored for the last model. But I think it'll work. Let us pray.
She frantically sighs
ROSE MCDOWELL: Alex is going crazy enough already
GEON TAYLOR: Everything OK?
ROSE MCDOWELL: Oh yea. Just everything falling apart, less than two hours before show time. Ya know, the usual.
She chuckles.
ROSE MCDOWELL: We had a few hiccups with the seating, but it's all good now. Some of your friends have already gotten here. I hope they are on their best behavior.
GEON TAYLOR: I thought about that too. Maybe it wasn't such a great idea to have them sitting front row
ROSE MCDOWELL: Don't say that!
GEON TAYLOR: I'm sure they'll be fine. I know Amonte wouldn't turn up at an event for my work. And if he doesn't, the other side will have no reason too.
JORDAN PARKER•KANE: Are we sure about that?
Back to the show.
ROSE MCDOWELL: I hope you're right. But anyway, Jordan. Come with me. We gotta hurry.
JORDAN PARKER•KANE: Lead the way!
Rose leads Jordan to his fitting and the scene cuts back to the entrance where a 2021 Bronco is shown pulling up. Inside is Amaya, Amonte, and Keon all having a good time, talking and drinking before attending the show. The car comes to a complete stop and the three start gathering themselves before exiting the car.
AMAYA COLE: I hope tonight goes well for Geon, I know how important this is to him.
AMONTE JORDAN: I’m really proud of him, I know he’s been working on this for a very long time. So it’s dope that it’s finally coming together!
KEON CAMP: I guess, I was shocked he was having one. I just always assumed he was a social media model.
AMAYA COLE: Damn Keon.
Amaya chuckles.
KEON CAMP: I’m not even trying to be shady, I swear I didn’t know Geon was signed to like a fashion company, I just always assumed he took pics and modeled them on things like IG and Twitter.
Keon shrugs
KEON CAMP: I guess it is true you learn something new everyday.
Keon smirks as the scene cuts back to the three.
AMONTE JORDAN: I told Geon he should keep the guest list short especially when it comes to people in this group so that’s his fault if he doesn't listen and things go bad. I’m here to support and that’s it, I’m not entertaining anymore bullshit.
AMONTE JORDAN: I’m secure when it comes to my friendship with Geon, I already know the opps won’t mess that up I just wish he would have listened to me when I told him not to invite certain people, I get this is his event and all but damn I figured he would want it to go smoothly and be classy, when you invite trash then it becomes trash.
Amonte shrugs.
AMONTE JORDAN: Just saying.
The scene cuts back to the three and all are shown exiting the car, Amonte, Keon and Amaya make their way inside. All three look around admiring the setup and they make their way towards the back where Geon and the rest of the crew are getting ready for the show.
AMONTE JORDAN: GEON, I’M HERE!
GEON TAYLOR: Aye! Buddy what's good? Thank you so much for coming tonight
AMONTE JORDAN: Everything looks great man, I’m so proud of you. I can’t wait for the show.
GEON TAYLOR: I got you guys great seats in the front. It's gonna be a big thing.
GEON TAYLOR: I haven't forgotten about Amonte so called pulling me up in Greece. But like I said tonight is all about business. But he and I are definitely gonna have to have a pow wow about this another time
Keon stands there on the side of Amonte, not acknowledging Geon but listening to the conversation going on between the two.
KEON CAMP: I’m going to sit down.
Keon makes his way towards the seating area leaving Geon and Amonte together.
KEON CAMP: I wasn’t about to sit there and listen to those two cackles about nothing, I’m only really here because Amonte asked me to come. As you can see Geon and I aren’t really friends, I’m not saying we have an issue, we’re just not friends. So what I'm about to do is sip on my little drink and find my seat and see what this tragedy is.
Keon chuckles.
KEON CAMP: Oops, I mean see what this event is giving.
The scene cuts back to the fashion show.
GEON TAYLOR: What's wrong with him?
AMONTE JORDAN: I don’t know, I think with everything going on, he's just stressed out, he didn’t want to come but I forced him to only because I didn’t want him in the house sad and alone.
GEON TAYLOR: He could've honestly stayed home if he doesn't like me. I don't know what his issue is. I barely know that boy.
AMONTE JORDAN: I don’t think it’s because he doesn’t like you, he’s never told me he doesn’t. He’s just stressed!
GEON TAYLOR: No worries. I have a show to get ready for anyway.
GEON TAYLOR: Keon has been crabby towards me since we got back from Greece. But he's never come to me and said he has an issue with me. Nor should he because I don't know him.
He shrugs as the scene returns to the venue.
GEON TAYLOR: hopefully he feels better I guess.
AMONTE JORDAN: I’m sure he will but tonight it’s about you so don’t let what Keon or anyone else going through mess it up. You should be on top of the world right now!
AMONTE JORDAN: I honestly don’t know what Keon’s issue is with Geon, I don’t know if it’s because of our friendship or if it’s an issue they have with each other but Keon’s never given me a reason for why he’s so cold towards Geon.
Amonte shrugs and the scene cuts back to the fashion show.
AMONTE JORDAN: Just focus on this moment now.
GEON TAYLOR: Oh always. Just think it's kind of rude that I invited him to this show, and he didn't even have the decency to speak. That's just bad manners.
AMONTE JORDAN: Yeah it’s really weird and not like him, but I’ll say something to him.
Amonte gives Geon another hug and he walks over to where Keon, Amaya, Trapp and Yeshua are sitting. He sits besides Keon and leans over whispering in his ear.
AMONTE JORDAN: Key, I don’t know what’s wrong but try to look like you're enjoying yourself, people are starting to notice your attitude.
Keon shrugs.
KEON CAMP: And I’m supposed to care why?
AMONTE JORDAN: Because if you were throwing an event and someone showed up with a shitty attitude I think you would be mad too.
KEON CAMP: Man whatever.
Keon stops talking and Amonte just watches the empty runway waiting for the show to start. Shortly after. Cadence is shown making his way through the crowd toward the rest of the group.
CADENCE WASHINGTON: So we're back in good ole NYC. And it feels good to be a home man. Geon invited us all to his fashion show and since Amonte and I have agreed to be cordial, I accepted the invite. I haven't seen him since we've been back. But let's see, if this was just all talk.
He chuckles as the scene returns to the show. Cadence is shown approaching the group. He greets everyone before looking over to Amonte.
CADENCE WASHINGTON: What's good Monte?
Amonte looks up at Cadence and smiles.
AMONTE JORDAN: Hey Cadence, I didn’t know you would be here. You look nice tonight!
Amonte gets up out of his seat and embraces Cadence with a hug, at first Cadence was hesitant but he returned the hug back.
AMONTE JORDAN: I know people are probably how we ended up like this, well the truth is I was with Cadence a long time, I would be lying if I said I didn’t love this man and I’m also grown enough to admit that we both played a part in that whole Uber incident. I was so angry and all I wanted to do was hurt him, but since I’ve moved on I decided that this lawsuit and beef with Cadence was holding me back from my relationship with Nasir and the longer I kept this lawsuit going, the longer he would have controlled my life and happiness. Cadence isn’t a bad guy he just made a bad choice, but I’ve forgiven, let go and moved on.
Amonte smiles and the scene cuts back to the fashion show.
CADENCE WASHINGTON: Good to see you too Monte
He chuckles.
CADENCE WASHINGTON: I was definitely surprised by that. Maybe he's actually keeping his word. I'm shook.
The scene returns to the group. A voice comes over the loudspeakers.
VOICE: Five minutes to showtime. Ladies and gentlemen. Five minutes to show time.
Cameras pan to Austin and Todrick getting out of a limo in front of the event. Austin opens Todrick’s door and helps her out of the limo. He takes her arms as they walk up the steps into the building.
TODRICK: Austin is liquored up, and that is a good and bad thing. If no one bothers our peace, he will be calm. If they do, well, I don’t know which #Austin we will get.
Todrick smiles and nods at those the couple pass. They go to the bar and Austin downs a shot quickly before asking for another. Todrick says nothing because he seems to be calm and in control. She gets a glass of wine and the two head towards Jordan who is backstage.
AUSTIN: Sup buddy. You getting all dolled up?
Todrick leaves a calm Austin and goes to look for the hostess to say hello and congratulate her.
JORDAN PARKER•KANE: I guess that's one way to put it.
Jordan answers Austin as he looks around. Feeling a bit nervous, which isn't something he's entirely used to. Both Todrick and Austin laugh it up with Jordan one last time before exiting the backstage area and walking towards their seats. They notice Amonte and Jordan and both roll their eyes before walking past them and sitting in the chairs next to Amaya and Malachi.
AMONTE JORDAN: I wish Geon wouldn’t have invited the Ramsey’s, no reason for them to be here, neither one of them know how to dress and to be honest they bring the mood down, their presence is just ugh.
Amonte shakes his head.
AMONTE JORDAN: But again this is Geon’s event and I don’t want to mess it up for him, even though it’s still shady that he invited them in the first place.
The scene cuts back to the fashion show. By this time curtains are called for the show to begin. Models begin walking the runway after the show is introduced by Alex J. Among the models are of course Geon, and to the group's surprise, Jordan is one of the first models to walk out. Of course there is a little surprise from the rest of the cast because no one knew he was asked to be a part of the show. Free by Vintage Inc blasts through the speakers and the remainder of the models walk the runway, the final ones walk before a familiar face hits the stage, the crowd erupts into cheers when Richie Rich walks out wearing a piece from #AJackCityMen and he rips the runway. The scene cuts to Keon’s face who is irritated by the presence of Richie Rich hitting the stage, he turns and looks at Yeshua who is just sitting there shaking his head.
KEON CAMP: It doesn’t surprise me to see Richie Rich here, when I said Geon was messy I meant that shit. I don’t know if this is his way of paying me back since he thinks I have an issue with him but I won’t feed into the bullshit.
The scene cuts to Yeshua confessional.
YESHUA BANNER: Damn! I don’t even know what to say right now, I know Alex knows Richie Rich from modeling but I guess Keon was right, if Geon invited him here then that’s messed up.
The scene cuts back to the fashion show where Keon is shown throwing a fit. Keon grabs his things and motions for Amonte to follow him, but Amonte stops him and tells him to wait until break. Keon let’s out a huge groan and sits back down in the chair.
AMONTE JORDAN: Are you ok?
Keon shakes his head “No.”
KEON CAMP: Why the hell would Geon invite him here?
AMONTE JORDAN: Whoa wait, I think we should find out if he did or not.
AMONTE JORDAN: I’m confused as hell, Geon was never the type to entertain drama and I get he wants his show to be on point but damn inviting Richie Rich was uncalled for.
The scene cuts back to the two.
KEON CAMP: It’s Geon’s show, of course he asked him to be here.
AMONTE JORDAN: Let's just ask him first, before we jump to conclusions. We have backstage passes. Let's go back there really quick.
Both Keon and Amonte get up from their seats at the intermission and quickly make their way backstage to Geon who is shown getting ready for his last look. Geon notices the look on Keon's face and immediately gets irritated.
GEON TAYLOR: What is with this dude? I don't know why Amonte keeps bringing him around me. He clearly doesn't like me.
He shakes his head as the scene returns backstage. G
GEON TAYLOR: What’s wrong?
AMONTE JORDAN: Geon man, why is Richie Rich here?
GEON TAYLOR: What do you mean why is he here? He's in the show?
KEON CAMP: But you knew I was going to be here and the situation that is going on. Why did you feel like it was cool to invite him? How do you even know him?
GEON TAYLOR: Actually I didn't know anything. Since Greece, you act like you don't even wanna be in the same room as me for whatever reason. So who knew you would actually come here. And besides this is not my show. It's Alex's. I can't stop her from putting people in the show.
GEON TAYLOR: Who does he think he is?
He chuckles, flipping his hair out of his face.
GEON TAYLOR: Keon and I are nowhere near friends so why is he bursting back here like I owe him loyalty or something. Unlike most of the people on this cast, these people come second. My career comes first. I'm not thinking about who anybody likes or doesn't like. Alex needed a few models to fill in and this was the easiest solution. He can be mad somewhere else.
The scene returns backstage
GEON TAYLOR: I don't see the issue here.
KEON CAMP: (chuckles sarcastically) well if you don’t see the issue here then that’s a problem, but it doesn’t surprise me because you my so called friend wouldn’t know the word “loyal” if it smacked you across that pale ass face.
KEON CAMP: I’m beyond pissed but you know what I won’t let this clown bring me out of character, like he said this is his friends show so not his and I don’t want to be disrespectful and ruin her event. It’s funny though, I should have known he would be apart of someone else’s event and or hosting his own.
Keon laughs and the scene cuts back to the three.
AMONTE JORDAN: Look, this isn’t the time or place to talk about this. Let’s just finish the show and then we can leave!
KEON CAMP: Fuck that, I’m not staying. The clothes aren’t that cute anyway!
Geon chuckles.
GEON TAYLOR: That doesn't offend me. Next,
Keon ignores the comment and walks off towards the exit leaving Geon and Amonte alone.
AMONTE JORDAN: I’m sorry that happened man, I understand why he’s upset but I also understand that this is business and sometimes personal can’t interfere with business Richie Rich being here is a low blow man. I’ve never met the man so I didn’t know you knew him.
GEON TAYLOR: We're models. We cross paths all the time. I only knew of that situation from what you told me but that has nothing to do with me friend. You know that was uncalled for.
AMONTE JORDAN: I get it but look before you go back out there I do think we should sit down and talk, maybe this week.
GEON TAYLOR: What about?
AMONTE JORDAN: I just need to let you know about a few things and also some stuff that has been bothering me but right now it isn’t the time, and I should probably go after Keon.
GEON TAYLOR: You always got my ear friend. Just don't bring Keon if he's gonna act like this.
AMONTE JORDAN: Congratulations again Geon I’m proud of you.
GEON TAYLOR: Thanks buddy! That means a lot.
Amonte walks towards the entrance where Keon is shown standing and Geon makes his way back to the main stage of the fashion show. The scene plays a collage of scenes from the season and ends with Geon, Alex Jacobs and the models all holding hands and bowing to the crowd, Living for Love by Madonna plays in the background and the credits plays.
