Leslie Dances Her Way Into Trouble
Leslie is absolutely giddy about her new inheritance, and no one can tell her otherwise. Eva does her best to play the voice of reason, practically begging her mom not to go picking a fight with Anita. But Leslie isn’t about to be talked out of anything. With a twirl, a smirk, and a snappy “Why start now?” she literally dances out of the apartment. Classic Leslie.
Anita Learns Who’s Really Bankrolling Leslie
The Dupree estate becomes the stage for a showdown as Leslie confronts Anita. She praises Barbara to the skies while hinting that Anita pushed the poor woman to her breaking point. Things turn icy fast, but Leslie isn’t leaving quietly. She declares that Barbara was her mother, and Anita nearly falls over when her attorney confirms it. Leslie then brags about the fat payout she’s about to enjoy, only for Anita to drop a bomb of her own: the mysterious fund isn’t from some unknown donor. The money has been coming straight out of Anita’s pocket all along. Talk about the ultimate burn.
June Says Goodbye Again
Over at Martin and Smitty’s place, June is gutted when Samantha and Tyrell refuse to see her. Martin and Smitty may be thrilled, but June lashes out at Naomi, blaming her for getting her hopes up. She shreds a photo of her kids in a heartbreaking fit of rage, screaming that she wishes she’d never seen their faces.
But June doesn’t give up easily. She sneaks back into Martin and Smitty’s place, pouring her heart out just loud enough for Samantha and Tyrell to overhear. The kids eventually come into the room, and for a second it seems like a hug is in the cards. Instead, the children cling to their dads while June watches from the sidelines. She leaves with Naomi, vowing to get her life together. With Jacob and Naomi’s help, she wants a job and a bed in a shelter so that one day, when her kids need her, she’ll be someone they can be proud of.
