*April 2011*

Natalie and her friends played cards at her place, having a great time for a few hours. They were relaxing in the house until she received a message from Bella saying that her house was on fire.

Natalie: Holy shit, Bella's crib is on fire! *stands up and searching for the gun out of her dresser and reloads it*

Francisco: *follows her to the car and sees the tire busted* Oh, what the hell??

Natalie: Shit. I have an idea.

Samantha is in the hospital when she receives a call from Natalie, informing her that Bella's house is on fire. The firefighters have already cleared out, and Bella is cared for at Natalie's house until she finds another place to stay. Just before Samantha hangs up, she sees Paris arriving.

Samantha: How are you getting here, little Japanese angel?

Paris: From the cab.

Samantha: *hearing*

Paris: Why do you think I care every time I come to every single one of the places?

Samantha: Why would you say that?

Paris: Because everyone said the same thing as I walked regularly.

Samantha: *hearing*

Paris: How are you feeling?

Samantha: I'm feeling numb, throwing up four times.

Paris: *sighs*

Samantha: I would hold my hands to feel myself; everything feels numb.

Paris: *hearing*

Samantha: Paris, I have some details about when I walked out of the hospital. I have a flight to catch in Boston.

Paris: *hearing*

Samantha: Like, I don't have no money when I spend that much.

Paris: I spend it too.

Samantha: *hearing*

Jessie and Haley were waiting at the bus stop after leaving the mall. They carried several bags, and Haley was texting on her phone before putting it away while Jessie watched the approaching bus.

Haley: That place was lovely when we visited.  

Jessie: True, I didn't make excuses; I'd pick the right outfit.  

Haley: Exactly. You were really close before you broke down.  

Jessie: What do you mean by that?  

Haley: Your money is running low.  

Jessie: *hearing*  

Haley: I want to try this shit on so that it won't embarrass me.  

Jessie: What were you thinking before going out sometimes? Just in case the bus was coming.

Later that afternoon, Stone returned to town and stopped by Harry's house. Two boys confronted each other in the kitchen while Scott finished cooking burgers on a plate and set the table in the dining room. Suddenly, they heard knocking at the door. Harry opened it and saw her.

Stone: Hi! *smiles*

Harry: Come here. *doing the same*

Stone: *hugs him*

Harry: I knew you would come. *hugs her back*

Scott: Let's stick to the plan. Why on earth are you doing here?

Stone: *looks at him* Scott. *walks over and hugs him*

Scott: *doing the same* How's everything?

Harry: *shuts the door*

Stone: There are positives and negatives; that's my take. Since I got back to Philadelphia, I've maintained a positive attitude, regularly checking in on my friends around University City.

Harry: As long as you took care of your life.

Stone: *hearing*

Scott: I knew you were smelling something.

Stone: I don't smell anything in here.

Scott: *hearing*

Stone: Besides, I've already eaten.

*Later that night*

Teddy, Charlene, and Diana: *leaving in the casino*

Diana: I'm tired as fuck right now.

Charlene: Not for me. But this city feels the same for me.

Diana: Indeed. The bottom line is this: you would've stayed out and stayed up late.

Charlene: That's what I did.

Teddy: Both of you keep on talking; I'll gonna walk a little faster.

Charlene: Teddy, come on. *got shot in the neck and falls on the ground*

Teddy and Diana: *reacted and looks around while hearing shooting*

Charlene: *dead*

Diana: Teddy, we gotta go! *runs over to the car

Teddy: *doing the same until he sees the car with the gun*

Diana: We gotta go!

Teddy: *gets in the car with Diana and drives away*

The next day, Malik, Kelley, Franklin, Poe, and Andie went to Woodbury to drop Andie off at her friend's house, where she would wait until she was ready to return. While Andie spent time with her friends, the rest of the group explored the city until she finished. They stopped at the diner to grab some lunch as well.

Malik: *looking out the window*

Kelley, Franklin, and Poe: *eating a bit*

Malik: *looking at them and starts eating*

Franklin: You should've started eating when it's cold.

Malik: It's cooler. So what?

Franklin: So good in this bitch. I would've wasted damn time if I ordered any food.

Kelley: Whether you are getting higher pressure if you keep eating it.

Franklin: Don't get it twisted.

Malik: Kelley is right, Frank. 

Poe: I might have to get diabetes.

Malik: *looks at him*

Kelley: I'm dying.

Poe: It doesn't mean you are dying when I say something right.

Kelley: *hearing*

In Philadelphia, Jessie has been arrested at home. Meanwhile, Zena and Hill are on the bus together but seated apart as strangers. Some passengers reacted to Jessie's arrest alongside the police.

Blair comes out of the building and sees Stone confronting any person as she walks over to them.

Blair: Excuse me. Could you do me a favor? Get out of her face. Thank you. *smiles*

Person: *walks away*

Stone: Who are you, lady?

Blair: My bad, I want to introduce you to you and give some donations-

Stone: I'm not a fan of donations. OK?

Blair: Be careful what you wish for. You want to destroy this city after you make yourself a blessing.

Stone: *hearing*

Blair: Who wanna now to be a cockroach? But it's definitely you?

Stone: You just fabricated everything. Who do you think you are? My friends' adversary? You went too far when you turned against them for once.

Blair: It seems like someone is trying to protect me, but I must have been brainwashed.

Stone: Nice try, crazy-ass woman. *walks away*

Blair: *looks at her*

Clarissa is relaxing in Susanna's apartment, gazing out the window at Bella and Sandra as they work, exchanging drugs for money in the neighborhood. She looks around and keeps looking at them until Susanna leaves the bathroom to check on her.

Susanna: Don't pay them mind of these assholes. The odds are against these two.

Clarissa: *hearing*

Susanna: *looks away*

Clarissa: Sometimes you would have to do anything while in town.

Susanna: I have taken steps at times. Before I retire, I need to earn more money and invest additional resources in expanding my work.

Clarissa: What's next? Get the fuck out of here?

Susanna: Exactly.

Clarissa: *looks at her*

Susanna: I'm gonna have your back.

Clarissa: You always have my back.

Susanna: I know what you are thinking about it.

Clarissa: I know, girl.

The next day, Vanessa arrived at the police station to bail Jessie out of her cell. Just before leaving, they embraced in a heartfelt reunion. After hearing about the wrongful situation, Vanessa drove Jessie home, perhaps sensing that the town was becoming increasingly suspicious.

Speaking of suspicious, Poe ordered Lucy to pick up the work for high school as she gave up the kids, whether the students were in study hall or on lunch break. One of Lucy's friends tells the student and gives a surprise.

Poe: *seeing all the students go outside and watching everyone*

Lucy: *trading the students with the money after giving the drugs*

Poe: *still watching*

Lucy: Don't waste your shit, take your time. *kept giving everyone with the drugs*

Poe: *sees the principal comes out*

Principal: Hey! Break that stuff up!

Lucy: *sees everyone rushing back in the car while heading back in the car*

Poe: Let's get the fuck out of here! *looks at Lucy*

Lucy: Good idea.

Poe: *drives away*

Later, Poe and Sandra hung out outside, sitting atop a car in front of the church. They exchanged glances while smoking a joint until Sandra threw her cigarette onto the ground.

Sandra: I need to discuss Mariah. I knew you were committed to any relationship with her.

Poe: *hearing*

Sandra: Are you with me or her? I know you hung out with her only twice; you were going alone to do the job.

Poe: *hearing*

Sandra: *holds his shoulder*

Poe: I stopped talking to her at the beginning of this year. We are still establishing our chemistry as a crew. Regardless of what we intended to do, I need to sort some of it out.

Sandra: What's up?

Poe: Sandra, I wanna be with you. As always, we wished we could get back together.

Sandra: Sounds like you are serious about taking action.

Poe: *hearing*

Sandra: Do you know why? My life is sucks.

Poe: *hearing*

Sandra: And that's why your life sucks too?

Poe: Yup.
