Eric informs the group that Lady London a popular female rapper with top-notch lyrical skills want to jump on their new song but this means that they’ll have to take Lil Muffins off. After to listening to Lil Muffins verse which is trash, Valeria and Jill believes that going with Lady London’s verse would be what’s best for their career.

After all, she was the one that made the Nasty B—-hot again. She has Eric schedule a meeting with the label. It’s time that she transforms and rebrands herself as an artist.

Cancelled

Valeria decides to take the girls advice and tread carefully. She sits her mom down and gives her a hundred thousand dollar check. Valeria tells her mom that if she’s after money she can take the check and disappear. Her mom tears up the check and tells Valeria the real reason she abandoned her. Valeria’s mom was in a abusive relationship with her dad. When she gave birth to her at 19, she left Valeria at  shelter and went back to her country. The first day of the video shoot turns out to be a disaster. The nanny cancels on Brianna and she has to bring the kids with her too work. A video producer from back in the day airs Jill out for being cruel to her and embarrassing her when she asked her out on a date twenty years ago. The video producer claims that Jill is using her sexuality to boost her career. Jill gets cancelled and this creates a lot of bad press for the group. Lady London no longer wants to do business with the group because of the controversy.

Damage Control

Lauren and Eric meet with the label to save her career. Lauren tells the label executives that Lil Muffins is gone and that she wants to put out music as Lauren. She asks that the label trust her creative direction and they reluctantly agree. However, the next day they drop her and gives her 750,000 bill. Jill asks Tina to vouch for her and help save her career and fortunately she comes through. Tina a d Jill go on a morning talk show to discuss Jill’s painful experiences  with embracing her sexuality and her fears of coming out. The talk show host asks if they are back together and Jill says that they are stronger than ever. Now that Jill is “uncancelled”, Lady London wants to do the song again.

He invites her to live with him until they figure out her living situation. The documentary producer shows Valeria pictures of her mom taking pictures of Valeria’s credit cards. Tina misread the situation between her and Jill. After Jill alluded to them being back together on the show she thought that they were going to give it another try. Jill admits that she didn’t mean it. Tina is hurt but Jill obnoxiously tells her that she didn’t force her to help her.
