* HeelRealization: Chenille has this moment when she admits to Derek about what she said to Sara.

She encourages him to get back together with Sara since they care about each other, despite the backlash they get from people around them

He's not just gonna make some babies and not take care of them or run the streets messing up his life. He's gonna make something of himself, and here you come white, so you gotta be right, and you take one of the few decent men we have left after jail, drugs, and drive-by. That is what Nikki meant about you up in our world.

--> '''Nikki:''' Because you're always in my way.
--> '''Sara:''' I'm only in your way when it comes to Derek. That's what this is all about.
