A huge secret gets exposed to the group, and the fallout is....tragic.

Things start looking up for KEN, right as he turns 18. But an unexpected situation causes everything to take a nosedive. KEN makes a discovery that changes the dynamics of the family.

Symone narrates:

KEN returns home from juvie, with the intention to find Shelonda and make things right. He decides that he has to make some moves to level up in the relationship. But most importantly, he comes to a realization about why he met Shelonda in the first place.

KEN struggles to adjust to juvie life. And when he takes the time to reflect on it all, the injustice of it starts to weigh heavily upon him. Consequently, he acts out.

In this special deviation from the norm, Chinney let's Symone narrate....

Otherwise, KEN and Hotboi get into some hot water, and KEN's bad luck streak continues to haunt him.

KEN and Shelonda get to know each other, and he realizes that she's a welcomed distraction from the toxicity that he's facing at home. Meanwhile, he explains the dynamics of Rob's crew.

Summer is over, and a hesitant KEN has to return to school for his second 10th grade year. On day one, he meets someone who will become a HUGE part of his life--HER!

After some reflection, KEN realizes that he has been failed in several areas in life. Also, a hole has been ripped into the family unit. Now he feels that he has to step up.
