Last week was rough, but we made it through.
Now, its awkward between them.
When the episode opens, Nathans barbershop, The Clips, is having a community beach event.
Nathan doesnt seem to want to talk to her.
Thankfully, Kelly and Molly are more than happy to go off with Nathans friends and entertain themselves.
Kellys still on her wellness journey, but Molly is taking numbers.
They start up a game of spades (points to Issa, I cant play either!
Im not saying Im above it, but I wish the moment hadnt passed without Nathan defending her.
Resha is nice and has never been anything but kind.
In case of a tsunami, they have to evacuate the beach.
So everyone makes a quick plan to meet at a nearby bar.
Either way, theyre both more focused on Molly.
Over in Issas car, Crenshawn is still throwing shots for The Blocc on Twitter.
Quoia (Courtney Taylor) is already on the phone, ready to send the Beyhive after him.
But despite how annoyed she is, Issa tells her that it isnt worth the drama.
Resha says no, but she can hook them up if shes interested.
Pleased but disheartened, Issa concludes that it must mean Nathan isnt into her either.
At the bar, the men are fighting over Molly, to her delight.
Its a valid point, but overall not a great excuse for ditching someone you claim to care about.
They leave it at that.
Nathans cousin Thomas and his wife walk in, and its immediately clear theres a story there.
But for now, we learn that Nathan lived with them before he moved in with Andrew.
The group gets a table and settles in to eat.
Thomas tells a story about how unreliable Nathan used to be, backed up by his wife.
Seeing that, Issa sticks up for him with a bad tree metaphor.
As usual, she makes it weird, but Nathan seems to appreciate the effort.
In the end, they all decide to head to a party that Jason Derulo is throwing.
Quoia advises Issa to let it die down because the internet has a short attention span.
At that, Thomas heads out, saying hes ready to call it a night.
Nathan says he knows Velma doesnt like him because she kicked him out when he lived with them.
But Thomas admits that he was the one who didnt feel comfortable having him around anymore.
Velma agreed to take the blame to preserve his and Nathans relationship.
He was worried about the safety of his children.
Thomas apologizes for not being truthful earlier and admits that he didnt know how to handle it.
Nathan is visibly upset and tells Thomas that he isnt like that anymore.
As Thomas leaves, Issa approaches, and Nathan tells her he needs a minute.
After a while, Issa joins him and asks if hes okay.
He still hasnt told him about his diagnosis.
He had invited him out to show him that hed gotten his life together.
Frustrated, he says that he cant change how other people see him, including Issa.
She tells him that she feels like shes still waiting for the other shoe to drop.
He tells her that he feels the same and pulls her in for a kiss.
And right then … you guessed it another earthquake.
But at least theyve gotten through the rough patch.
