Listen, you two are much stronger

women than I am.

If I had been at that birthday party,

ooh, no, some people

would've gone down.

I mean kids, baby mamas,

like the jumping castle--

something.

But she still can.

So can we.

They humiliated us publicly.

Let's do it to them.

I don't know, Carnegie.

- Mira:
How?

- Just think, okay?

Prime always has

a million cameras in his face.

So call him out on his sh*t

like I did with Dallas.

You really think that that worked?

You thought that did something?

I'm sorry, but he's probably been with

at least three women since you.

I hate him so much.

I don't know what I even saw in him.

He has a unicorn tattoo.

He probably waxes his butthole.

(women laugh)

Look, what are you trying

to get out of this?

Honestly, what are you

trying to propose that we do?

I mean, I get why you're angry

and why Skylar's pissed, but...

Oh, so I don't have a reason

to be hurt, Katalina?

Is that it? Really?

I mean, come on.

Autumn, you knew

that Prime had a fiance.

So it's not like

it's some surprise to you.

Okay, f*** that. No one really

cares what you have to say.

Okay, boo boo?

And first of all,

yes, I knew he had children,

and no, I did not know

he had a fiance.

And when I finally found out,

he told me that he was

no longer with her, so--

No, exactly. And doesn't Kennedy

live in Louisiana or something?

- Exactly.

- Dylan:
If he told her

that they weren't together anymore,

why wouldn't she believe him?

So you thought you would be

the one to change him,

when he's the type

that wouldn't change for anyone,

unless he was forced to.

Okay, that's like not expecting

a scorpion to sting you.

Okay, you know what?

I am not gonna justify

my feelings for any of you,

especially you.

- The point is that you stayed!

- (laughs)

You stayed! Look, we all know

the risk of dating an athlete,

especially Prime Alexander.

But I didn't. I didn't know.

What did I do?

What did I do that was

- so bad that I deserve this? (crying)

- Nothing.

I gave Prime a year of my life.

All the broken promises.

(laughs)

He sold me on this idea

of like a fairy-tale life.

Where's my happy ending?

(chuckles)

You know what?

How much do we have to put up with

before they realize that

they can't just break our hearts

and pretend like nothing happened?

- Katalina:
But that's Prime Alexander.

- Oh my God.

And nobody is going

to change Prime Alexander!

Autumn:

Unless we force him to.

What they did to us was cruel

and it was wrong.

And they need to be held accountable

for their actions.

Look, you can't make somebody change

that doesn't want to change.

- You just can't.

- Dylan:
Yes, you can.

Listen, all you have to do

is use everything about them

against them.

Quickly, without remorse.

They get their strength

from running in a pack like dogs.

You shake up the bonds,

destroy the pack.

Exactly.

Skylar:
You're right.

Let's do it.

(sighs)

Hi, yes,

I'm with Pryor Lamborghini

and we have a lease on a car that's

in arrears that needs to be picked up.

Yes, I know exactly where

it's going to be on Saturday.

The license plates

read "work"-- W-O-R-K.

- Yes.

- Carnegie:
Hello?

Hi, I'd like to report someone.

I know seven women

he's given herpes to--

well, probably more than that.

His name?

It's Dallas Lauderdale.

Yeah, I'll hold.

Mira, it's your turn!

(cellphone vibrating)

- Hello?

- Shanita?

This is Shanita.

This is Mr. Prime Alexander's

publicist, Dahni.

Okay.

Prime is setting up a special surprise

for Mr. Kalif Wyatt

at the upcoming Rico Terrell gala

and would like you to attend.

- Okay.

- Great!

He'll send a car for you

at 8:
00 p.m. on Saturday.

And he asks that

you keep this a secret.

Thank you.

(laughs)

Now this is completely

anonymous though, right?

I mean, you're my girl

and I'm sending this to you

'cause I want you to get the scoop,

but I can't have this traced back to me.

Okay.

Are you ready for this?

Well, have you heard

a little rumor about Kalif Wyatt

and his very very close boyfriends?

Gay clubs and stripping.

And, honey, I have a picture,

and I am sending it to you

right... now.

(laughs)

You are welcome.

Girl, you're my sorority sister.

I gotta hook you up.

(laughs)

Hell yeah, you can come through.

You gotta bring a friend though.

Yo, I gotta get out of this mall, girl.

I'm feeling all eyes from all guys.

- Holy sh*t. Hey, Kalif.

- This is crazy.

- Yo, hold up.

- What? Kalif?

Yo, how you know

my name, little man?

Oh, baby, I make it a point to keep up

with all the available ass out there.

What? What the hell

you talking about, man?

Please, like you haven't

been on whobangingwho.com.

- Who what?

- They got the whole expos,

exposing your love for the boys.

Love for the boys?

Man, I'm all about the ladies,

and the ladies know it.

Ask your girl, she know.

- What? Excuse you.

- I'm just going based off what I read.

What you read?

You read wrong, homey. Who what?

Yo, look, I don't know what

the hell y'all talking about.

I'm out. I feeling

too much of a sugar rush

- in this motherf***er.

- Let's go.

Dallas.

- Yeah, Dad? What's up?

- What the hell is this?

- I don't know.

- What do you mean you don't know?

- It's you, isn't it?

- Well yeah, but I don't know whose cam--

Oh, yes you do!

I'm telling you,

I have no idea how it got there.

This is going to kill your mother.

It's all over the Internet!

It's in everybody's inboxes.

You need to get out of here,

take one or two months.

Just get out of here!

- I swear, Dad, I--

- No. Dallas, we're done.

(mutters)

F***.

(phone ringing, vibrating)

Crap.

- Yo.

- Dallas:
Somebody emailed

everybody at my dad's company

my game tapes,

and he damn near fired me!

- Wait. What?

- How did it get out there, Prime?

Yo, man, why you asking me?

I don't know.

I don't be watching your game tapes.

Autumn.

What?

Nothing, man.

Lemme call you back.

Yeah, whatever.

Where is she?

Hi. May I help you

with something?

Where is Autumn, Dylan?

I'm sorry.

She's not here. Why?

She knows why.

You tell her I know she did it.

Did what?

(door opens, shuts)

Hmm. Well.

So it begins.

That's gonna be $2,476.32.

- All right.

- Mr. Prime, good to see you again.

V-dog, good to see you.

You look good.

- I see you built a wing on the back.

- Yeah.

This place looks great.

I love it.

- Thank you.

- Oh, um, Mr. Alexander?

- Yeah?

- I'm sorry. Your credit card declined.

(laughs)

Why don't you just

swipe that again for me?

- I already ran it twice.

- Camille, swipe it again.

I'm sure there's a computer glitch

or something.

- It's been doing that lately, you know?

- Yeah.

(sighs)

Yeah, see?

It declined again.

Do you have another card?

- Let me do it.

- Okay.

Thank you.

- Give me two seconds. Not to worry.

- No problem.

- Yeah...

- It was declined.

Yo, what do you mean it was--

that's a limitless card.

There must be
