Kwabena is desperate to get his first directing gig, but every project he comes across uses tired Black stereotypes. As pressure mounts from his family and agent, he faces a choice: take any job to get his foot in the door or hold out for a project with integrity.

Sadly, his love life isn't going much better. Kwabena hasn't moved on from his ex, Vanessa, after she moved to New York and their relationship fizzled out. When Funmi shares an unexpected update on how she's doing, old feelings resurface.

It's Kwabena's first day on set, and he can't believe he's working with his hero, legendary actor Rudolph Williams. Determined to support the veteran performer, his good intentions are tested by the relentless demands of the shoot. To make matters worse, Vanessa weighs heavily on his mind after their run-in brings up feelings he struggles to ignore. Maurice and Funmi are called in by the nursery after an altercation between Mayowa and another child, but they are surprised to find things aren't as they first assumed.
