Claudia has a new place, and she invites Kenya over to show it off. They begin setting up the furniture while sipping wine out of red Solo cups. Later, the two head to the gym to work out. Claudia opens up and says that she grew up with an Italian immigrant mother and a black father from New York. Her father left when she was young. She revealed that she got made fun of at school for being biracial, and as a result she got into a lot of fights. Though she's close to her grandmother, she says that her mother is distant.
Meanwhile, Kandi and Todd visit the first house that they gave to Kandi's mother, Joyce, and they are furious when they discover that Joyce's boyfriend ripped everything out and left things in a state of disrepair. Kandi is upset because she was planning on selling the house. Todd is angry and tells Kandi that she needs to set rules for her mother, but Kandi says that she can't do it.
