When the first of the month arrives, their landlord demands their rent money of $1500, stating that if they do not pay by 6 PM, they'll be evicted, even though both Dreux and Alyssa thought they already paid.

A confrontation ensues, in which Keshawn reveals he used the money to invest in his T-shirt company, and Berniece gets knocked down by a truck door, vowing revenge.

Despite Dreux's amazing interview, the ensuing fight between the 3 girls—during which Berniece beats both of them up and steals the $1500—leaves her prospective employers with a bad impression, and they seemingly remove her from consideration for the job.

While Alyssa and Dreux argue about their predicament, they get a call from the ruthless gangster King Lolo—the man to whom the Jordans belonged—who is angry with them for selling his shoes and tells them they have until 10 PM to give him $5,000 or he will kill them.

Seeing her large following on social media, they throw and advertise an impromptu art gallery that evening at the apartment complex to raise money to give to King Lolo, which turns out successful.

They earn enough money to pay him back, and Dreux’s interviewer is one of the attendees, telling her that she's impressed by the event and to expect a call offer for the job.

King Lolo arrives and Alyssa darts off, telling Dreux to stall him because she has a plan to get him off their tail while avoiding paying him their hard-earned money.

After shots are fired, the girls divert his attention and flee to hide in their empty old apartment, only to discover Keshawn there, who has lit candles in an effort to win Alyssa back.
