Mr. Callahan is being... nice to Cici and Funks? Ah, of course, he wants them to accompany him to a new southern-style restaurant in a rough part of DC. But when Funks makes a special request to the waiter... let's just say it's a battle of who has the better taste in food.

Cici finds herself a new boo-thang from Baltimore, but when his hard-to-understand lingo gets her in hot water on a game show, Funks must figure out how to use it to their advantage and save Cici from a really bad contract.

But seriously, can anyone translate what this guy is saying? And what on earth is a "jikkuhl?!"

Cici and Funks plan a small kickback with some old friends from school to blow off some steam... as long as Funks doesn't have to drink her least favorite drink, Henny, that is! However, their night is hijacked by the mean girls of school years past. Suddenly, all goes haywire when Funks is forced to embrace her deepest fantasies, and her Henny aversion, while trapped in the closet with her crush for a game of "7 minutes of Heaven."

The Season One finale!

It's hot AF outside and inside too because the AC broke down in The Complex. Temperatures, and tempers, are flaring! And when a musty tenant rubs Cici and Funks the wrong way, they have a few choice words for her. But what they don't know is that there's a new law on the books that protects people like this and now the girls, and the entire building are in danger of losing it all!

Dang! The Complex is losing money and needs some new marketing to attract new tenants! And no new tenants means Mr. Callahan will have to sell the building to a greedy businesswoman and Cici and Funks will have to go find employment (and housing) elsewhere. Maybe a viral dance video would help! But wait, Funks can't dance!

Oh lawd... maybe Mr. Callahan's annoying son can help out.
