Episode Guide
Mo’Nique told the girls that it’s important to learn to give back and that they would do this by giving the clothes off their backs to a local charity thrift store.
Each girl was told to choose a partner to team up with for the challenge. They were told to go upstairs and go through their things and decide what they could donate. Each donated item would be given monetary value and the team with the largest donated money amount would win the challenge and be safe from elimination.
Of the remaining teams, one team would be expelled, both members would go home.
Saaphyri was worried because she didn’t have that much to begin with and wouldn’t have much to be able to donate.
Mo’Nique told them that every time she gave back, she got ten-fold in return. The girls were not that excited about parting with their things.
Brooke chose Leilene because she had three suitcases of stuff, so she was sure to have a lot she could get rid of. When Brooke went through some of Leilene’s things, she said they needed an instruction manual to know how they would be put on. It was a lot of stripper clothes.
Darra was sure that her mother would “whip her ass” when she got home for giving away all her things. So Darra teamed up with Schatar because she knew that Schatar had a lot of expensive things she could part with. Darra thought she wouldn’t have to give away all that much.
Saaphyri felt that she had to give almost everything she had brought in order to give as much as the other girls so she wouldn’t have to go home.
Leilene decided to give away her mother’s rings. They were a keepsake and she said that her mother was gone, but if they could help someone else, it was a good idea to give them away. Brooke didn’t want to let her give the rings away, but she said it was her decision to do it.
Saaphyri started to cry about the fact that she didn’t have much to give and that she was giving almost everything she had. Nikki told her that it wasn’t the quantity of what she gave, but the spirit with which she gave it. Becky was so happy to be partnered with Saaphyri because she felt that Saaphyri had given all she could and was great for doing it.
The thrift shop didn’t want to give a value to Leilene’s stripper clothes. Brooke said that they could open up a whole sex shop, just with Leilene’s clothes.
Since most of the clothes in Leilene’s bag were stripper clothes, they wouldn’t take any of them. The team was worried that they would lose. Leilene pulled out her mother’s rings and offered them. Brooke told Leilene that even with as important as the competition was to them, she did not want Leilene to sell her rings.
Brooke told Leilene that the competition wasn’t worth it and that she would be making a mistake to sell the rings, but Leilene did it anyway. The store only gave them $90 for the rings. Leilene said that her Mom was watching over her and would be proud of her.
Shay was being difficult and trying to get the guys at the store to give her more money for everything. She started taking items back because they wouldn’t give her enough for them.
Schatar told the man that she only buys couture and started to pull out gowns she had worn on red carpets. They wouldn’t take some of them because they were damaged. He told her that some of her items had a strange smell to them, so they wouldn’t take them either. Apparently, she had brought them in dirty and they smelled and had underarm stains on them. The store wouldn’t take them
Saaphyri was told that they would only give her $15 for her $200 boots so she told them she wouldn’t sell them. Some of her stuff was not sellable too. She said she was ready to take the boot and punch him in the face with it
When they got back to the house, Darra saw that Saaphyri had sold every single thing that she owned so she offered her some of her own things. Saaphyri thought it was really fake and she was mad at Darra for even offering it. Saaphyri started a big argument with Darra because she said that it made her feel like a charity case. They really got into it in the kitchen.
Darra got mad back because she had really been trying to be nice. Then, Mo called them all to the grand hall again. She then told them the totals of their donations. Darra and Schatar donated a total of $641. Becky & Saaphyri gave $868. Leilene & Brooke sold $823. Larissa & Shay sold $871.
Mo told them that Larissa & Shay were the winners until Leilene gave up her Mama’s rings. That brought their total to $913. That meant that they won the challenge. As their reward, they were told they would go on a shopping spree at Forever 21 the next day.
The girls were called to the elimination ceremony. Two teams were called to the carpet. First was Schatar & Darra. Then came Larissa & Shay. Mo told Saaphyri that she had given everything she owned and that no one could fault her for that so she and Becky would be safe.
Nikki told the girls that the lesson was that they should not let their possessions possess them.
Then, Mo’Nique confronted Schatar about the pictures under her mattress. Schatar denied having taken them. Mo then asked each of the girls if they had taken the pictures and they all denied having taken them. Even Larissa & Shay lied and said that they had not. Schatar denied it again.
Mo told her that they didn’t have any proof that she had taken them, but they did have history. History told them that Schatar was a thief. Schatar was expelled and Darra had to go too since she was her teammate. Darra was upset to have to go because she said she had so much more she wanted to learn.
Then Mo’Nique did the most wonderful thing. She called Leilene down and told her that she was honored to be in her presence because she had been so generous to give away her mother’s rings and her memories. Then she gave the rings back to her
