Daniel on the other hand felt embarrassed that Bianca behaved in an immature way in front of his friends, and just "stormed her way out". She later expressed that her family estranged her because of Daniel, and now the decision not to get married soon made her "look like crazy".
Later in the episode, Zenuiha and Troy had a bad start to their day as they got an official at their door, telling them that they had been fined $550, for their unpaid tickets for the car. Zenuiha and Troy were heading to the church as it was community day. The couple also had their anniversary which Troy forgot. The couple got into a fight during their drive, and Troy was kicked out of the car.
Troy's daughter and mother were waiting for him to come and pick them up from the bus station. Troy could not make it on time which made her mother angry at Zenuiha. Later, Zenuiha was upset that Troy left the community day and was going to pick up his daughter and mother.
Another intense moment witnessed by the audience was when Justine decided to reveal her pregnancy to her mother. Justine was pregnant again and was hiding it from her mother as she was not welcoming when Justine told her about the first pregnancy. As she called her mother to tell her, her mother reacted furiously.
Melissa and Louie on the other hand were excited about their wedding but Louie's mother did not appear supportive of Melissa's wedding dress choices or the venue as they went for a wedding dress trial. Louie's mother, Donna also questioned where Louie managed to get such an expensive ring. This attitude threw Melissa off and she started speculating about the same.
Kimberly on the other hand was dealing with Joey's drug issues. She grew suspicious that Joey might be doing drugs again, considering his actions like taking out money from the joint account and feeling pain in his stomach, and asked him to go for the test to put her at ease.
