It opens on Issa and Nathan in bed, contemplating Tiffanys imminent departure.
Issa is surprised at the suggestion but agrees to think about it.
Later, she runs into Nathan and his cousin Thomas shopping.
When the men head off, Molly and Kelli rib her about their Black LoveTM.
Molly gives updates on her dates with Taurean and her parents estate planning.
Getting them to take their mortality seriously has been difficult.
Thankfully, Kelli steps forward and offers to sit down with them.
He apologizes for how things ended between them and admits that he hasnt had much success holding events independently.
Instead, he has a proposal they should team up and keep working together in the community.
More than anything, Issa seems impressed by Crenshawns audacity, but … she doesnt say no.
She details their brand penetration in the Black community and is flanked by Quoia and two new assistants.
The Blocc is leveling up too.
Issa boards the first-class cabin of her flight back to Los Angeles with a glamorous blowout.
Her hair has been getting straighter and straighter as the scenes progress and she rises in status and wealth.
The city loves him.
At this news, Issa looks uncomfortable.
She passed on the opportunity to work with him when she had the chance.
Its the first time we see her seem to question her choices.
When she gets back to L.A., Nathan greets her in their palatial new home.
Theyre doing well, living together and in love.
As they make out on the couch, Issa pauses to ask when they moved.
Nathan tells her it was last year.
Theyre now in West Hollywood to be closer to the NBW offices.
Then … were back at the mirror where we began.
It was all an elaborate fantasy a what if?
scenario of accepting NBWs offer.
So far, Issa seems into it.
Back with Molly, she, her brothers, and Kelli walk Mollys parents through their estate issues.
Kelli smoothly steps in to reassure them that estate planning doesnt have to be scary or upsetting.
But Crenshawn presses, touting the new retail-and-event space hes found.
Its perfect for continuing the work that The Blocc is geared toward.
He tells her that hes serious about teaming up and has even sent over an official proposal.
He wants this, so Issa takes him seriously.
Issa and Quoia meet up with Crenshawn at his studio for a walk-through like he requested.
Next, Issa takes Crenshawn to an empty storefront she wants to use as their second location.
Theyre also getting press in the Los AngelesTimes.
She assures him that after running the numbers, shes confident theyre ready to expand.
Theres a line around the block on the second locations opening day.
As she enjoys her treat, a city bus rolls by plastered with a massive ad.
Ty Dolla Sign is the new spokesperson for NBW.
The day is officially declared Issawood Day.
Back at home with Nathan, she asks why they never moved into a bigger place.
And hes telling her how proud he is of all the hard work shes done.
When he moves to kiss her, she screams.
And we end up right back after that coffee meeting with Crenshawn.
Back with Molly, Kelli says good night after a long day of working through David and Carols finances.
When shes gone, they thank Molly for pushing them to get it done.
Planning for the eventuality of her parents death has been hard for her too.
Shes still teary-eyed when Taurean calls about their date.
She admits that shes unlikely to be much fun after the rough day with her parents.
Taurean takes it in stride and tells her hes available if she wants to talk.
At her apartment, Issa mulls over the two paths available to her with Mirror Issa.
Shes perturbed that Lawrence showed up in her fantasy and thinks it means she shouldnt work with Crenshawn.
Molly sagely tells her that theres no wrong answer.
Either option would serve her well.
She just has to trust her gut.
They hang up with quick I love yous, and Molly gets a knock on the door.
Its a delivery of wings and wine that Taurean has sent over to lighten her mood.
He might be a keeper!
At home, Nathan and Issa are getting ready for dinner when it happens again.
Nathan calls to her from another room, but she hears Lawrences voice.
She waits expectantly but is visibly deflated when its just Nathan who walks back through the door.
Weeks Best Woot Woots
