After five minutes of conversation, Evelyn leaves, embarrassed and annoyed. The next day, Evelyn complains to her daughters about the set up and swears off blind dates. At his salon, Giuseppe offers Traci an apprenticeship. Tamar tells Traci to take it. That night over dinner, Trina admits to her sisters that having Towanda and Andre living with her and Gabe is a strain on their marriage. The girls suggest Trina tell Towanda it’s time to move out.

While costume shopping for Towanda’s birthday party, Gabe suggests they throw a hint to Towanda at the party about moving out, but Trina says it’s not the time. Meanwhile, Giuseppe teaches Traci how to shampoo, greet customers with coffee and sweep. All things a novice could do. Traci thinks it’s a waste of time. She doesn’t want Tamar’s help.

S2 E8 • NYC or Bust

Tamar tells her sisters how stressed she is about their upcoming gig in New York City. They haven’t sung together in a while and have little time to prepare. Terrence, the girls’ vocal coach, runs scales with the girls until Tamar interrupts, saying they don’t have time for Traci being unprepared. Terrence suggests they remove all the bad energy which offends Tamar. Next, the girls rehearse with a choreographer, Michael, and once again Tamar criticizes Traci. In the midst of practice, Towanda announces she’s leaving at midnight to be home for her son’s first day of school. Tamar flips out and a heated argument ensues. Michael and Trina try to intervene, but Tamar walks out. Towanda changes her schedule so that she can stay for one more rehearsal the next day. Tamar is still angry from the night before, and storms out yet again. Trina follows her while calling Vince, who convinces Tamar to go back inside. Towanda apologizes to Tamar, the girls hug it out, and continue working. Terrence visits Toni and fills her in on all the bickering. Toni shares that her sisters fight instead of follow their talent, which is why she won’t do a group album. Toni says she mothered Tamar in the past but won’t take blame for her personality now. Meanwhile, Evelyn has dinner with Doc, who reveals he’d like to take things to the next level. Evelyn is intrigued. At Terrence’s next session, Towanda isn’t there, Trina’s losing her voice and Tamar doesn’t know the moves – until Traci straightens her out while enjoying the payback. The girls arrive in New York. Towanda tells them about her son’s first day of school, and Tamar is still worried that they’re not ready.

S2 E9 • Like Husband, Like Wife

Tamar gathers the girls to ask if they want to record a song without Toni. Traci says she’s been down this road before and isn’t ready to give up her cosmetology career to pursue the family album. Towanda assures her they’ll still be able to pursue their own passions. Evelyn suggests to Traci a surprise replacement for Toni: herself. Traci is speechless. Meanwhile, Trina tells Tamar and Towanda she recently had an “oral transaction” with a band member and is thinking of telling Gabe, which her sisters advise against. When Traci finds out, she warns Trina not to tell Gabe, and the sisters discuss the “transaction” in detail. Toni agrees Trina shouldn’t tell Gabe and expresses concern about how he will react. At dinner with Evelyn, Tamar slips in a joke about Gabe’s cheating, after which Trina boldly owns up to her indiscretion. Toni calls Tamar a mean girl for picking on others’ marriages, Tamar gets defensive and the fight escalates to a huge blowout. Afterwards, Evelyn gathers the girls because she’s angry about their behavior. Tamar complains she’s the only one who has to watch what she says, but everyone else sides with Toni, including Evelyn. Evelyn stresses the importance of family, but when Tamar asks Toni for an apology and doesn’t get it, Tamar walks out. Trina apologizes to Evelyn, who tells her not to drink any more wine because she’s acting like a fool. Evelyn meets with Towanda and fills her in on the fight before changing the conversation to ask if she can sing on the family album. Towanda is noncommittal.

S2 E10 • Sisters at War

Over lunch, Toni tells her sisters that she’s being inducted into the Georgia Music Hall of Fame. Toni asks her sisters to sing at the ceremony as a tribute to her. They are flattered and agree to do it, but worry they’ll have trouble working together without fighting. At rehearsal, Tamar takes over, and when Towanda leaves to take a call, Tamar proceeds to criticize Traci, who stops working. Tamar, feeling unappreciated, starts to leave but finds Towanda on the phone, and their fight escalates further. Tamar storms out and Trina follows to make peace, but then Traci shows up and blows up at both of them. Later, Trina calls Tamar, who is threatening to leave town, and convinces her to stay and give it another chance. Over lunch, Towanda tells Toni what happened at rehearsal but Toni’s unconcerned because the girls always manage to pull things together. Meanwhile, Evelyn reminds Traci and Tamar that the tribute’s about Toni, not them. Cousin Jay mistakenly brings Michael Sr. from the airport to Evelyn’s, instead of Trina’s. The girls can’t seem to get their act together to sing so they decide to write speeches to honor Toni instead. As Trina and Towanda write, they fill their Dad in, and he’s proud the girls want to make it a nice day for Toni. Pre-ceremony, Towanda gets a call from the producers saying they can’t give speeches, they can only sing. Unprepared to sing, the girls feel awful that they won’t be doing anything, and don’t tell Toni. Meanwhile, Toni does the red carpet and is eager to see her sisters’ performance. But right before her induction, Toni’s confused, because she sees the sisters still sitting in the audience. Afterward, Toni’s hurt that none of her sisters went backstage to congratulate her. The sisters all go to see Dr. Sherry. Toni says she feels let down by her sisters and an argument ensues. Dr. Sherry suggests they change their behavior if they want to improve their situation.
