When things seem to calm down, it may just be the eye of the storm as Junebug's blast from the past brings new life to the Carson home.

Denise and Junebug can't stop looking for love in all the wrong places; sometimes, the only way to snap out of it is through rude awakenings.

Ghosts of the past can affect the present, and that's what happens when an overbearing parent returns to curse Pat in an attempt to show they're not so different after all.

On a road trip to Atlanta for Pat's big show, the family gets derailed, landing them in a resort where they find that trying to be woke means it's time to wake up.

The family arrives in Atlanta to find that Mildred's old house is opulent and different; Trina's mother, Tanya, has been released from prison and it's time to go on a walk down memory lane.

When Elizabeth asks Pat and Denise to join her at a motivational speaker's event, they discover more than they bargained for; Janelle and Junebug get jobs to find that they may be selling more than what's on the menu.

It's a celebration as Janelle has graduated and a big college send-off party is held in her honor; the send-off may turn out to be for somebody else.
