The Chi Season 5 Episode 1 recap

The Season 5 premiere caused some major upheavals that are bound to affect all the ongoing storylines.

Emmett dreamt that he was having s*x with Kiesha. He woke up to find Tiff leaving for her mother's house and taking EJ with her. He then sought questionable advice from Darnell and went to his mother-in-law's house in a drunken state to talk to Tiff. She told him that she did not want to be his wife anymore and moved in with Rob by the end of the episode.

Jada, still recovering from cancer, seemed to enjoy having Suede around to fix things but was uninterested in the idea of moving in together. Complicating matters further, Darnell came over to fix the showerhead and ended up sharing an intimate moment with Jada.

While waiting for Imani to return from St. Louis so he could propose to her, Trig broke up a fight between two teen boys at ROCK along with Shaad. One of the kids tricked him into getting violent and uploaded the video online, which reflected badly on Trig's involvement in ROCK's community outreach. Imani saw the video and decided against returning to Chicago, leaving Trig's proposal plan a major bust.
