What is the plot of season 5?

Netflix's The Upshaws has followed the titular family for the last four seasons through job loss, struggles with mental health issues, and even a surprise family addition, along with all the everyday quarrels and love that the family shares. The official synopsis of the series reads:

"Bennie Upshaw, the head of a Black working-class family in Indianapolis, is a charming, well-intentioned mechanic and lifelong mess just trying his best to step up and care for his family — wife Regina, their two young daughters and firstborn son, the teenage son he fathered with another woman-- and tolerate his sardonic sister-in-law, all without a blueprint for success."

It continues:

"But the Upshaws are determined to make it work, and make it to the next level, together."

Season 4 ended with a cliffhanger where we saw Lucretia selling off her garage and house to avoid crippling debt. So she will now be around all the time and annoy her brother-in-law Bennie, especially because they are getting more involved in business matters.
