Episode 6 recap

The previous episode of The Chi Season 5, titled Bring It On Home To Me, was directed by Cierra 'Shooter' Glaudé and was written by Shaye Ogbonna. The episode revolved around Darnell telling Jada that the two need to live together and Jada wishes to get married before she lives with another man.

On the other hand, Keisha wanted to tell Tiff that she and Emmett were together. Fatima told Victor that she felt like a mistress and he did not know how to fix that. Jemma listened to Maisha's demo and offered her some constructive criticism which made the latter upset but also grateful.

Later, Jada offered to take Darnell out on a date and Kevin got an invite to play for an underground gaming group where he could make some real money. Emmett told Dom about him and Keisha getting back together. Pastor Jackson confronted Victor about his relationship with Tierra and how it was just for show.

When Kevin reached the underground Gaming Community, he was told that somebody had covered his $100 cryptocurrency entry fee. Tiff told Rob that Nuck was crazy and that he was the reason Keisha got kidnapped in the first place. Jake told Peaches that Jemma was pregnant and explained how he was too scared to tell Victor.

At the fundraiser, Roselyn displayed new building plans for ROCK, which surprised Victor and Tracy as they had no idea that Roselyn was planning to rebuild the ROCK on her own. Emmett told Keisha how badly Tiff had reacted and later Rob called Tiff out for being upset about Keisha and Emmett’s relationship.

At the end of this episode of The Chi, Jake and Jemma prepared for their big day, and Victor headed over to Peaches’ who wouldn't answer the door. When Victor gained access, he learned that Peaches wasn't in her room but had left a goodbye note for Victor and Jake.
