We need to talk about this key situation
with KP and Tim,
there's some slacking going on somewhere,
and it ain't us.
- Me and Nessie have been on the outs over Ken.
- She was on some like, business over friendship,
and then called me toxic, or shut me out of it.
Like she had something to do with that too.
I was upset with her because I confided in her a lot
through the whole breakup,
and the whole time, she's thinking I'm toxic?
- Welcome to our new humble la mode.
This has kinda like a Miami vibe.
[Rashad] Pretty nice.
If you really, really love it,
you might wanna put an offer in today.
- Today?
I'm doing this for you.
- I love you.
- I heard back from the agent. - Finally.
- But we were outbid.
- Definitely was not expecting that.
Now I'm gonna have to go back to Florida,

now that I'm about to leave again.

[Kat] Jamie and I are still pissed off
that we got outbid on our dream home here in LA.
But we've accepted our fate that we're headed back
to Florida next week to have this baby.
There's so much that I have to get done
in my work and home life in order to get ready
to go back to Florida, but tonight we're dressed up,
and we're stepping out to clear our minds.
You're a pretty hot date, babe.
- Ooh, this old Ford over here?
It's cool.
I'm here to support you, babe, you know?
Just gonna be nervous on the carpet,
you know, that ain't my thing.
- You not gonna be nervous.
We're on our way to the second annual
Attorney Benjamin Crump's Equal Justice Now Awards.
And I really appreciate Jamie coming along
because for an athlete as famous as he is,
he's pretty shy.
I hope you know how much your support means to me...
- Yeah, you come out here busting your ass,
working and doing this,
and looking at houses,
and you pregnant? - Yeah.
Plus, I have to interview for shop managers
before I leave. - Dang.
- And don't forget, this week I have to throw
an amazing anniversary party for Enigma,
slash maternity leave party,
you know, right before we get out of here.
- Yeah, hooey! - [laughter]
I can't believe it's been four years
since I moved out here and opened up my very own shop.
It feels like I got so much done,
but I know I have so much more to do.

[overlapping chatter]
Attorney Benjamin Crump is highlighting people
who are really making a difference in the community.
And that was my whole vision with Enigma when I became
the first Black woman to open up a tattoo shop
in Beverly Hills.
I'm here to show the world and this industry
that Black tattoo artists are top tier.
We're professionals, and we're now being recognized
and seen and respected in this industry
that was once predominantly white.
Okay, babe, let's go have fun.
You made it through the carpet.
- Yeah, I made it! I'm still nervous.

- You got the music stuff already handled?
- Yep, I just gotta get my passport.
- Bro, you ain't got your passport?
[KP] Things starting to kick off with my music right now,
and since all the artists got a key to the shop...
- In 2022... - Oh, they got
the keys to the crib?
- Finally!
- Man, me and Tim about to hop on a jet to DR
and collaborate and cook up
some new music with some new artists.
We can't mess this up, bro.
This is a big opportunity for us.
- What's going on, guys?
- Tim ain't handlin' business. - Man!
- We supposed to go out the country,
we got some place we got to jet.
- Anywho, I have something I wanna talk about.
I had this client, her name is Jaime,
and she like, had alopecia, but when I was doing her brows,
I was talking to her, and she was just telling me
like, a lotta stuff like,
this lady is like, a humanitarian for alopecia.
[Jaime] I was at my hair salon, and a client came in,
and she said, "Jaime, I have a friend
"that has a daughter who has alopecia,
and can you talk to her?"
So of course, I said yes.
When she left my house that day,
I started crying and I said,
I said, God, what do you want me to do with this?
- Mm-hmm. - And that's when
He told me to start a support group.
- Doing people's brows, making 'em look good,
that's great, but when you give people, like,
a sense of normalcy and make 'em feel like
they got something they may have lost,
it's like, super rewarding for me.
I've had plenty of clients in the past that have
had alopecia, and I've heard about
some of the things that they go through as far as
losing hair and eyebrows that comes along with
that disease, so being able
to give back in this way makes a huge difference.
I see you guys do so much, like, nonprofits and charities
and stuff like that, I'm inspired,
I wanna be a part of that, I wanna like, do something too.
[inspiring music winds down]
- Man...
it's a whole lot going on.
You focus on that, it get you over there,
then I can't have you in appearances and interviews.
- I'm shocked right now.
I really thought KP and Tim would be down to help,
especially since they rallied the whole shop
to help Alana pay her rent.
[Alana] I love all you guys, and I appreciate today.
- Y'all ready to make some change?
- We booked and busy today.
[Amber] And now I wanna plan an event
that actually helps people,
and they're more worried about their schedule?
Honestly, I can handle it.
I got a whole little vision in my head of how I wanna do it.
I was thinking like, maybe everybody can donate
a service to them, like, give like a tattoo or something,
something sentimental, give back and just
make people relax and have a good time for a moment, like,
and I just feel like this is a perfect place for it.
- Definitely a perfect place.
That's what it's about, man, I love giving back
and doing stuff for my peoples.
- How we gonna do that and be gone?
Especially with Cory taking off doing personal [bleep].
[Tim] IAM is definitely about giving back,
and I feel for the people that's affected by alopecia,
but Amber picked the busiest month to bring this up.
So in the spirit of trusting the staff,
the best compromise I could do is
letting her host the event at the shop, man.
Amber say she got it, let her have it,
and we still focused on this music.
Let's see what you got!
- You gotta be there to see what I got.
- Oh, [bleep], damn.
- ♪♪ Damn, all in ♪♪
♪♪ Ladies, let's go ♪♪
♪♪ Money over nonsense, count your dough ♪♪
- Which one of y'all took my pen?
- I didn't.
- You ain't have no pen.
- I did have a pen.
Where's your pen, matter of fact?
[overlapping chatter]
I have my own custom pen.
[chatter continues]
It is custom! Since we finished
the shop renovations, I've been wanting to put in
a new shop manager behind that shiny new desk.
I'm feeling really, really inspired to hire
this front desk person,
we can't have this desk be empty.
- [all chattering] - Now that I'm about to leave
LA to have this baby, it's more important than ever
to find the right person ASAP
to hold [bleep] down while I'm gone.
So I brought along Kevin
and my business manager and big cousin Oliver
because I trust their opinions
and I know they'll help me find the right person.
- One of my candidates here I'm really excited about,
it was actually a girl who I tattooed at the rose seminar.
She's super cool, super dope,
so I mean, y'all can interview everybody else,
but th-- that's my pick. - Let's get to it.
- Hello. - How are you guys doing?
- Good, how are you?
- Awesome and amazing, don't I look it?
- Hello, hello, hi, how you guys doing?
- Good. - Good.
[tense music]
- Hi, Barbie...
[overlapping greetings]
- When I heard Enigma was looking for a shop manager,
I knew I had to jump on it.
And with everything that happened at IAM
and Lemeir's plan falling through,
I think Enigma might be the perfect fit.
Kat seems like a real businesswoman,
and I know I can be an asset to her brand,
I just gotta prove it to her.
- You have any experience in the tattoo space at all?
- I was offering cosmetic teeth whitening in tattoo shop.
- That's more than most.
This is a little more than a resume, okay.
- Do you have a resume?
- Um, I do,
but I left it in the car. - Okay.
- I know what it takes to run a successful business.
- I did work at IAM.
I was the receptionist.
- I don't know [bleep] about tattoos.
- I think it's important when
you guys are bringing somebody in,
that that person is very passionate,
and not someone who's just gonna come in,
clock in and out.
- I do know how to manage people.
I pick up real quick, I can learn the business.
- I did my own website. - So you would be able to
build an Enigma website? - Oh yeah, absolutely.
- I know that you guys do not have a website.
- Mm-hmm. - So I purchased the domain
for EnigmaBeverlyHills.com.
- [laughter] - And...
- That's a strong initiative.
- That is yours. - Oh, wow.
I know Barbie a little bit from when she worked at IAM,
so I know she's got a little experience,
but she out here making us look bad.
I know we got Enigma Beverly Hills
popping on socials, but why didn't any of us
think to make sure the website domain was current?
Who let that slip?
Well, thank you so much for putting all this together.
We will talk this over,
and hopefully get back to you.
- Bye, guys, take care, okay?
- Oh, my goodness.
I am not gonna lie,
I liked everyone,
but Barbie just blew me away.
- She did, she did. - She really did, I'm sorry.
My only thing with Barbie
is is there gonna be drama with the IAM shop?
- Exactly, like, we already have...
- Poaching any employees can be tricky.
It's all about optics. - Yeah.
[sighs] This is tough.
I know Kevin loves his girl Denai,
but Barbie straight killed the interview.
I'm worried about the optics
of another former IAM employee jumping on the team,
but time is ticking, so I gotta really
think this over and make sure
that we pick the best of the best.
- I was impressed with all three of them,
I'm not gonna lie. - Yeah, me too.
- Tough choice you got there.
- Yeah.
- Guess who I bumped into? - Who?
- Kat invited me to their anniversary in a few days.
- Are you gonna go? - Yeah, I think I am.
- How do you think KP and Tim are gonna feel about that?
- I don't really care.
I can talk [bleep] too just like them.
- We actually had an interview day.
- For the manager position.
- I had to pick contestant number three...
- Who was number three?
- Barbie. - Are they just hiring
everybody that I don't get along with?
- It's kinda coming off like you the substitute teacher.
- At the end of the day, it's still Trina's shop.
You gotta know, dawg, the whole team
ain't gonna be involved in every decision made.

How you guys doing? - Boss lady, what up?

My last week in LA
has already been so jam packed.
I spent this morning shopping for baby clothes,
and I still have so much to figure out between the manager
situation, the anniversary party and moving back to Orlando.
But it's like a breath of fresh air to walk into
this new beautiful shop and see the team all working.
At least that part is still in order.
- Hey, guys. - Hey, girl.
- I brought a new baby
- A dog on these new floors.
[laughter]
Is he potty trained?
- He is. - Okay.
Do you guys feel comfy working back?
- I love this, it's dope. - Me too.
I love it, I can't wait to get that new front desk filled.
We actually had an interview day.
- For the manager position.
And I'm really excited. We had three
really good candidates.
- Who else was there?
- Me, Katrina, and Oliver.
- Okay.
I understand why Oliver's at these interview
because he is Katrina's
business manager.
But why was Kevin there?
I know Kat and Kevin are really close
but all the artists are supposed to be equal at Enigma.
And Kevin's attitude lately is not giving that vibe.
- You step in and tell this
grown ass man to shut the [bleep] up.
And on behalf of Enigma. There's were--
- It wasn't on behalf of Enigma.
- Everybody, everybody... - I kept saying
we don't do this at Enigma.
So I'm kind of worried that Kevin is gonna clash with
the people at the shop and just throw the whole team off.
- Girl number two was Kevin's girl.
She was real professional.
- Contestant number three come. - Wait, no.
- She was the only one who brought a résumé.
She brought this whole booklet.
- Who was number three? - Number three was Barbie.
[silence]
- That's interesting given... Never mind.
Now I know Kevin didn't just
say Barbie, bro, like, come on, man.
Are they just hiring everybody that I don't get along with?
I kinda feel like I have to keep this little beef between me
and Barbie to myself because me and Lemeir just went
through this, and I don't wanna seem
like I'm always the problem 'cause I'm not.
- I am excited about our four-year anniversary.
We gon' have a live performance.
My girl Chloe, she's gonna perform for us.
I was trying to get Saiyr to perform, but, um...
she ghosted me. - Why?
- I don't know. Who the hell knows?
♪♪♪♪
So one of my side gigs is
music management and development.
I have three artists signed which include Chloe Belle
and Saiyr which is Nelly's wife.
But for weeks, I've been reaching out to Saiyr
and trying to figure out, you know, would she perform?
But she's been ghosting me the entire time.
And I know for a fact Nelly knows why.
But through her awkwardness too, she'll make it worse
by not telling me anything at all.
So I'm at a loss.
- This event it what I need right before I leave.
You know, I wanna leave with a bang.
- Ay-ay! Uh! Oh, no!
- Oh. - Uh-oh.

Have you ever had a quinceañera?
Oh, we should do you one.

Quince, uno, dos, tres, quatro, cinco, seis...

- Okay, stepping from big stepper.
- You like my shoes? - Yes, I like them.
We over here hungry as hell waiting on your ass.
- I need a drink. [sighs]
I'm a little like frustrated with KP and Tim right now.
After getting brushed off the other day by the guys,
I decided to sit down the ladies
and tell them about the alopecia event
and just see if they will be down for it
and support me with it.
Since KP and Tim might not even show up,
I really could use all the help I can get.
I wanna put something together, but...
It's kinda hard right now 'cause they're going out of the country
or something. But I'm trying to get together
like this alopecia event. Like I met this lady
and she has like this nonprofit. She like teaches them
where to go with... - You know what
alopecia is, right? - Just 'cause I don't know
15 in Spanish, don't mean I don't what alopecia is.
- So I been talking to the guys about like putting something
together like that, but it's kinda hard because when
I was explaining it to them, all I could hear
was like passport and a trip. And I'm just like... huh?
- Not trying to make this about me, but if I had an event,
they know where I'm coming from. So, I mean, I appreciate KP.
- I get that Alana is the charity case of IAM.
But making this about you when I'm trying to really
do something for the brand and get this event
going is very annoying.
- I already had some frustration with that key situation.
Them not really being there at the shop.
- Yeah. - And Cory missing.
- Tim had mentioned that he's taking
personal time off right now.
- It just like I came into this shop like with different...
- High expectations? - Yeah, high expectations,
and it's not that. - Yeah.
- I'm glad we finally got
the keys to the shop and all.
But the whole thing left a bad taste in my mouth.
And none of this is a good look for a shop
that's still trying to get its foot in the industry.
- KP gave me the green light. He's like I support it.
I stand behind it, so I'm trying to just put that together.
And I want y'all to come and be a part of it like...
I wanna ask if you would like donate like a service.
Like a small tattoo that plays into alopecia or something.
- I love the idea. - Thanks.
- I think this is a great way to give back
to the community and help people out.
I just don't understand why KP and Tim or not prioritizing it
a little bit, especially because they love charity events.
- Guess who I bumped into? - Who?
- Kat from Enigma. Uh-huh. - For real?
- And then she texted me yesterday.
- Hmm.
Should be interesting.
Inviting me to their anniversary in a few days.
I first met Kat and the Enigma crew
when I was coming up in the industry.
And I even did a guest spot with them a while back.
So you know I wouldn't miss the chance to kick it
with them and celebrate for their anniversary.
- Are you gonna go? - Yeah, I think I am.
Go show my support real quick.
- How do you think KP and Tim will feel about that?
- Um, you know, they might talk their [bleep].
I don't really hear. I can talk [bleep] too
just like them.
- I think Ink Bomb should be able to support
her friends over at Enigma with no issues.
But I don't think she understands
how protective IAM is over their people.
- Barbie invited me to this...
little gathering.
[Tim] You kicking with the ops? [KP] Hanging with the ops.
You with us or not?
Y'all been hanging with the enemy and working at events
to where I felt like disrespected.
- I hope she knows what she's getting into by going there.
It just-- KP and Tim just like what's theirs.
- Oh, no. - And they don't like sharing.
- Called Saiyr, she didn't answer.
I don't get any callback.
I text her, no text back.
Maybe I need to have a conversation with Nelly.
- Right. - I must cut your wife off.
- I suffer from alopecia, and there's days
I don't wanna get out of the bed.
[sobbing]

- Not yet. You can take a break.
Are you gonna miss me? You gonna come back
to Florida and visit me? - I'm definitely gonna come.
Only 'cause-- 'cause I like y'all's house.
[laughing]
- I'm leaving for Florida in like two days,
and I'm still not even fully packed yet.
But at the same time, I'm feeling exhausted.
My doctor told me to be careful
especially with what happened with my first pregnancy.
With Jackson, when he was getting out he got stuck.
So obviously now that I know what happened,
like I don't wanna risk that again.
Jamie's out tying up lose ends with our rental house.
So I'm glad Kevin's here to help me pack
and get my [bleep] ready for Orlando.
I feel like the only thing that is left to do business-wise
is figure out this front desk person.
- I know it's only down to Barbie and Denai.
- Mm-hmm. Yeah, which I honestly
like both of them. - Oh, you should invite
them to the anniversary party.
- Yeah, just invite 'em. Just let 'em know
we haven't made any decisions yet, you know.
Like, we just wanted to invite you out.
- And everybody can kind of feel them out themselves.
- Mm-hmm, yeah, exactly.
Do you know who I ran into? - Who?
- Mika. Mz. Ink Bomb.
- Oh! I love Mika. - I love her.
So we chopped it up.
And I invited her to come to the event too.
Yeah. - You should.
- I'm excited about the anniversary party.
And it'll be a cool little vibe having live music there.
Especially somebody like Chloe.
- No, Chloe's gonna kill it. She's not the one I'm worried
about, like, it's just... My God.
Doing a live performance, obviously, Chloe is
our artist just like Saiyr is. - Mm-hmm.
- Honestly, I don't know what the hell is going on.
- What is going on with that?
- Over the last couple of months, we've set up
big interviews for her. "I don't do interviews."
We've set up performances for her.
"I'm gonna have to pass."
Even this, the four-year anniversary.
I called her, she didn't answer.
I text her, I'm, like, "Hey, I called you yesterday."
No text back. So at this point,
it's beyond the [bleep] performance.
It's just the respect, and to me
the respect has been like bleached.
- For you to not have gotten a response from Saiyr
for days about any of this [bleep].
But you've seen Nelly every single day since.
- So [bleep] just been weird
with Nelly for a while now.
- I don't know who gave Kevin
the little baton to hire people.
- And, you know, me having a business relationship
with her wife Saiyr just adds a whole nother layer to it.
I mean, I've been trying to keep these two relationships separate
for the shake of the shop and my own sanity.
But now that my money's on the line, it's,
it's like I don't how much more of it I can take.
Maybe I need to have a conversation with Nelly.
- Yeah. - Just to preserve
the relationship like, yeah, dawg, like...
- Right. - I must cut your wife off.

- Natalie, can you just kind of share with us
a little bit about your story?
- I suffer from alopecia and,
I've had it since I was five years old.
It attacked my immune system.
And there's days when I don't wanna get out of the bed.
But I push myself to do so.
- So today is my alopecia event at the shop.
We decided to sit down and get
to know each other.
These people have been through
so much and are so strong.
I'm just so happy that me and the team are here
and we can help them in some small way.
- By me being like a male,
we grow up having to...
feel like we're always
tough and we can't really share
our emotions and stuff like that.
- Tell your feelings. - Exactly.
But it's okay, like, you can be you, you know what I'm saying?
- I appreciate you, it's brave of you to be the one to step up.
I got a few homies but they never talk about it.
After Amber suggested this event,
I thought about it, and this is a big opportunity
to change people lives. So I have to be here for this.
Tim been having some issues with his passport,
so he stuck down at the Federal Building,
but I know he would wanna be here.
- Thank you so much.
Group hug.
[chatter]
- Even though I been having
issues with IAM,
it's times like this where I second guess myself.
When we are altogether like this,
we create magic, but the leaders of the shop need to be here
so we can continue to do dope [bleep] like this.
- It's my first time. I've never gotten a tattoo.
So who's doing me?
[KP] Mz. Ink Bomb. You're in good hands.
- Okay, I'm ready.
- You're gonna be the one that's getting her brows done.
- Yes, I'm ready. - Okay, cool, I'm excited.

to make her decision about who she's gonna hire.
But aside from all that, we are here
celebrating four years, so let's get it.
- Van, what you doing, man, how you feeling?
- Y'all look good, man. - We see you, oh, man.
[chatter/laughter]
- We was talking about the shop.
I was like, damn, they seen it [bleep] from the very start.
- From the ground up. - Yeah.
- Katrina deserves flowers that she's been getting.
And it's amazing what you guys have done
and what you're doing. - One of Katrina's
biggest regrets is what happened to 9MAG.
She don't want that to happen here.
- Right. I hate that it happened.
But if it didn't happen, this wouldn't be in existence.
- So I know Katrina and I have gone through
a whole lotta [bleep] in our previous shops.
- You raise your voice so [bleep] quick when it comes
to [bleep], you never talk to Van or Phor like that.
- I can talk to any mother[bleep] any way I want to.
- We definitely need paper towels.
You can run down to the bodega and get some.
♪♪♪♪
- Are you locking her out? - No!
- So I just feel like we just had to learn from 9MAG
and Black Ink and just make sure it don't happen here.
- Hello, killer, how you doing?
Good to see you.
I like how what y'all do with the shop, it's nice.
- It came a long way.
I think so too. You good?
I know you at the new shop. I know you got [bleep] cracking.
- Yeah, but it's not like how I thought it would be.
I'm there most of the time, uh, by myself tattooing.
I don't have like no room to grow as an artist.
- Right, right, you need a little flame lit up under you.
- I might, I don't know.
- I'm just saying, come around maybe...
- W got a little fun. We got [bleep] dancing videos.
[laughing]
- Even though it's been bumps in the road at IAM,
I'm not quite sure if I'm ready to leave at this point.
But it is reassuring to know that I have
a place to go if things do go left at IAM.

- Has anyone heard from Kat?
- No, I'm blowing her up.
- Y'all think she went into labor?
I'm not gonna, I'm not gonna put that out there.
- I mean, I kind of do hope so.
[chatter]
- Fashionably late. - I've literally been stalling.
But I'ma just go ahead and just...
- You gon' start without her? - Just start the performance,
yeah, I don't wanna, I don't wanna like hold off too long.
I don't wanna [bleep] get drunk.
Katrina's not here.
So let me at least get the party moving
so that people don't realize she's not here.
Testing, testing.
Give me some energy.
I really appreciate all of y'all coming out
to Enigma's four-year anniversary.
I have a special gift for all y'all.
I'd really like to introduce
Chloe Belle.
[cheering and applause]
- ♪♪ Counting the days ♪♪
♪♪ Till I fly out to see ♪♪
♪♪ That pretty face ♪♪

- I really wanted Katrina to see Chloe perform.
She's never seen her perform. She's been gone all this time.
So I'm like this would be the perfect opportunity for my best
friend to see what the hell I've been working on.
And I just feel like it's really not like her to just disappear.
I'm starting to get worried.
- Thank you. [cheering and applause]
[cheering]
Enjoy the rest of your night. Thank you so much.
[background chatter]
- What's going on? I been blowing
your [bleep] ass up.
First of all, why you not ready?
No, this is your event. Like what do you mean?
I'm not gonna lie. I agree with her.
Stay your ass at home.
- Yeah, no we will.
Okay, well, take care of yourself.
All right, love you too.
- I can't grow a beard so I'm like so...
- Hello, hello, hello, hello.
- Hello, hello! - I just thank everybody
for coming out tonight
for Enigma's four-year anniversary.
[all cheering] Yes.
Unfortunately, I just got off the phone with Katrina.
As y'all know, she's 14 months pregnant.
[laughter]
And my girl's not feeling good, um...
She was trying her hardest to be here.
So look, let's turn up for Katrina one good time.
[cheering]
♪♪♪♪
[chatter]
- Can we holla over here?
- Okay.
♪♪♪♪
Whoo, here we go.
This is the moment of truth that
I've been waiting for all night.
Kat let me know she's gonna make her decision about the job.
And I am hoping I get it.
- Let me tell you. Y'all's interview,
it couldn't have been better.
So the final decision honestly...
Um...
You both got it.
The best way to do it is kind of do like a part-time scenario
for both of y'all now. - Okay.
- Everybody kind of will judge, you know,
what's what and who's who, um...
Katrina will ultimately make the final decision
whenever she gets back.
Both of y'all are like phenomenal.
And I don't think it's fair to judge
by that one interview alone.
Katrina wants to be the one to make the final decision
on who we hire, but since she couldn't be here tonight,
this is how she wanted it to be handled.
But what about the manager stuff?
- All right.
All the while, everybody in the shop
gets to kind of see who's best for the position.
- Hola. - Hi, guys.
- I can tell for a fact that some type of good news 'cause...
- Spill the beans. - You can't even keep
a [bleep] face.
- It went really well.
So they actually really couldn't do a final decision.
So they're gonna start off with both of us.
And then it's kind of like they're gonna report back
to Kat and figure it out. We've gotta see, so...
- How do you feel?
- I gotta figure out this Nessie stuff.
- I definitely feel like y'all should have a conversation.
- I want to, I want to.
- Nessie and I are definitely cordial.
And although her and Lemeir haven't really made up,
they both are being adults and able to be around each other.
Hopefully Barbie and Nessie will be able
to move forward as well.
- I don't want that negative drama, that negative
energy here, you know what I mean?
Like it's a clean slate.
I'm excited to compete with Denai for this position
'cause I know I got the competition in the bag.
But the only X factor is this whole situation with Nessie.
I know when me and Nessie are not seeing eye-to-eye
things can go left very quickly.
- Are you gonna show how hard you are from Philly?
- Don't paint over my [bleep]. Do not--
- I really don't want our friendship to end.
But I don't know what Nessie I'm gonna get tonight.
All right.
- All right. - Our spirit is with you.
- Good luck.
♪♪♪♪
♪♪ I do what I want ♪♪
- All right.
Nessie, can I talk to you for a minute?
So I just wanna say that...
I know that you felt I said you were toxic.
But I'm telling you from my heart,
I don't feel like you were toxic.
I do feel you and Ken together are.
- I agree with that. - It hurt me that these
past couple months we haven't even been able to talk
'cause I'm like I wanna talk to you, but I didn't
want it to go left because I know how both of us can be.
So I was like let me just wait it out
and now it's like I have to.
'Cause I'm about to be over here, and I don't want
no drama, no negativity. We left all that in the past.
- Love to bring all the nontoxic energy from that.
I wanna everybody be over here so it's a supernova that
it was really supposed to be from the top, yeah.
When I first heard Barbie call me toxic
I think I just saw red.
But her coming up to me and actually talking to me about it,
unlike some people... [clears throat]
Lemeir, um, she actually cares about our friendship enough
to overlook the bad and make [bleep] work.
So I'm happy to have my friend back.
- Love you, sis? - I love you.
- All right. Oh, I'm so happy.
I'm not.
I'm really happy that Nessie is accepting my apology.
That's my girl. From now on,
I'm not gonna say anything about her or her relationship
to anybody so we can avoid miscommunication
especially now that we're co-workers again.
- Y'all go ahead and finish up the night.
[chatter/laughter]
- Time to get up outta here, man.
- All right, bye.
- ♪♪ Queen vibe, queen vibe ♪♪
- I wanted to talk to you about the performance.
Yes, well, not so much about Chloe, but...
More so about Saiyr.
I personally think the party was a huge success
aside from Katrina not being there.
But I'm super annoyed that
Saiyr didn't show up either.
And I just feel like she either needs to [bleep]
or get off the pot.
And, I mean, I just feel like right now the only way
to get her attention is through Nelly.
I have not heard anything from her.
- Right now she's going through a really
pivotal point in her healing journey,
and right now that is her priority.
- I respect your healing journey
but on a business end, it doesn't work.
- Okay, so I'm in a awkward position, right?
It's not fair to me to put myself in a situation where
I have to be, hey, she's feeling this or he's feeling this.
- And I don't want to put you in the middle.
I don't want you or her to feel any way
if I have to be done with it.
- I get why Kevin's been questioning me about Saiyr.
'Cause they haven't been on the same page lately.
- He always says "I like ratchet Saiyr", and I'm like,
that's not who I am anymore, and if you don't like that
then I can't be signed to you. - Bye-bye.
Whatever they got going on, I want nothing to do with this.
So I hope Kevin respects my choice to stay out of it.
Listen, whatever's going on between you and Saiyr,
I'm staying out of it, and I just want you to know
it's not gonna affect our friendship.
But I do wanna talk to you about some stuff going on in the shop.
Like... - What?
- As far as like bringing in new people and stuff like that,
I thought it was a thing where we all had a say in it.
When you came in and said that y'all had the whole
interview thing, and it was just you and Kat and Oliver,
it was like, it caught everybody off guard.
- There's a new shop manager.
- What y'all think?
- I wish we would've known that they was interviewing people
like we coulda been there. - I would think so.
- It's kind of coming off like you a substitute teacher.
At the end of the day it's a team thing.
- At the end of the day, it's still Trina's shop.
- No, for sure. - You know, so,
I feel like it's always gonna be a team.
We've always been a team.
Um, but certain things I feel like it's gonna
be up to her how she wanna handle it.
I kinda get what Nelly's saying about the whole shop
being equal because we are.
If Katrina wanted Nelly to be there for hiring
or firing or anything, she would have had her there.
But she didn't so you might wanna take that up with Katrina.
I definitely don't want it to be no hierarchy situation.
But at the same time, any business, you gotta know, dawg,
the whole team ain't gonna be involved in every decision.
- Say bye-bye. - Want help with the bags?
- Bye!
[Kat] Goodbye sunny California.
See you again, soon.

- The past few days have been a whirlwind.
I'm sad I missed the anniversary party.
But with all the stress of moving,
I just was not feeling well.
And I'm about ready to pop, so I'ma listen to my body.
But it's our last day in LA, and we've been running
around like crazy trying to get this house together,
and now we're off to the airport.
- Whoo. - Finish getting the rest
of these bags. - Go ahead
Run you one last lap. No, wrong way.

Enigma is stronger than ever with the new renovations,
expansion, and the best team ever.

- We did it. - This is everything, Trina.
- This is what you guys deserve. - Thank you!
- But now that I'm leaving, I'm a little worried
what might happen at the shop if I'm not there to steer the ship.

[Jamie] Let me get out of here.
[Kat] Well, LA, it's been nice.
Hope to see you again soon.
- What's that? Who did that? - Nessie. - I went to Enigma.
- You didn't support the artists
that you in the shop with.
That's a slap in the face to all of you.
- I'm going through some [bleep] right now.
For the past month or so
I been going home to an empty house.
- You guys don't have like a professional email.
So it should be like something along the lines of, you know,
info at EnigmaBeverlyHills.com.
- I took care of that part already.
- Oh, you got it already? - It's all good.

- All right, so, I just left the doctor.
They were just telling me
all the risks that come along
with, you know, if he gets stuck.
There could be a lot of brain damage
or cerebral palsy or...
They were just telling me all these
horrible things that could happen.
