This week, the five women work on getting what they want in a relationship by being more open and learning to communicate properly. Cynthia, after dealing with a heartbreaking separation, goes on her first date in several years, with disastrous results. Jahmil meets a cute and confident girl and they decide to go on a date, but when the conversation turns to her past, is she pushed too far out of her comfort zone? Tennesha tries to take a step back from her control issues and lets Errol take the lead on a date, while Laree is challenged to break down some of her walls and commit herself to Karl.

All five of these women are independent and strong willed, and because of this, they've faced strife in their relationships, past and present. On Jamil's second date with Nneka, Nneka shares that she wants a committed relationship, leaving Jahmil in a difficult position. Jack drops a bomb on Monet in their one on one, which makes her realize that she has been looking at her dating life all wrong. Tennesha is ready to introduce the ladies to Errol at her housewarming party, but her nervousness leads to her controlling nature coming out again.
