From the very start of this new season of the original Black Ink Crew, Ceaser is lowkey off his rocker. Dutchess name is brought up countless times and there’s some sort of simulation of him sparring in a boxing ring.
We’re guessing the other guy is supposed to be some representation of Dutchess? Oh brother.
All these animosity stems, not only from their bad breakup but also, if anyone remembers, Dutchess threatened to sue for half of the Black Ink franchise. Apparently, Ceas won the legal battle because this episode shows him wildin’ in Atlanta, sliding with women with questionable values but hey… He’s a single man now.

Sky is getting her life as the manager of Black Ink’s Atlanta location. She’s in a new crib, getting new money, finding her place in her the world. “Who would’ve thought that this Harlem honey would become a domesticated peach?” With her newfound calm — sort of — Sky reconsiders seeing her sons, who are now young men. Seems like she’s ready for it.
With the renovated shop on 125th and the new shop in the A both flourishing, Ceaser is feeling himself and 113th is at the bottom of the priority list although that’s where it all began. The contractors have been paid but nothing is completed. The furniture has been wrapped and the crew discovers a few dead rats; with Mel as the new manager, she’s struggling to find her footing, while Ceaser is running around being loose with loose women down South.
Walt seems to resent Mel as management but we’re sure this issue will be revisited this season.
Donna has a new relationship, because, doesn’t she always? Her man seems sweet though, running her lunch by the job. We’re just glad she’s out of that abusive marriage with the Max kid.
Nevertheless the drama continues with that guy, who’s supposed to be in for a 15 year bid. He has some random call Donna’s phone, call her a “cum dumpster” and threaten her and her new bae. He adds that “Max will be out soon” and “f*cking them up” is high on the agenda. Donna panics. For good reason though.
Meanwhile in Atlanta, Ceaser decides to throw a six month anniversary party celebrating the success of the newest shop. It’s ratchet enough to bring his ex-fling Karlie Redd through and she throws a drink in his face for supposedly “lying on [his] d*ck.” Welcome to the A.
Kit and Teddy come down to rein Ceas in at the party and Teddy — of all people — tells us what’s eating his cousin: “Ceas has PTSD, he’s not over Dutchess and that’s the reason he’s in Atlanta hoing around the way he is and that’s why he doesn’t want to come back to New York.” Well, duh.
Dutchess is trying everything she can to get Ceaser’s attention since losing that suit.
She records a diss track. Sky and Ceaser laugh. She sends a crew of singing and rapping clowns to the Atlanta shop to tell them Black Ink “ain’t sh*t.” Sky and Ceaser laugh. Then, she somehow arranges Sky’s son to come to her shop and put his mom on blast. It’s here that Sky learns his true feelings about her. “The adoption was never legal… She never did nothing for me… I don’t want nothing from her. F*ck her money.” And Sky sobs. Very low blow Dutch.
Tune in next week and report back to see what the Black Ink Crew does next.
