Shakir: What is that supposed to mean?
Gloria: Nothin'. I'm just happy you called.
Shakir: That's cool.
Gloria: I thought you had a girlfriend. Where is she?
Shakir: What girlfriend?
Gloria: Whatever, Shakir. You don't have to play me. I know you mess with some SGRho girl.....I don't care....she ain't my girlfriend. You ain't gotta lie.
Shakir: I said I ain't got a girlfriend, okay?

Shakir: So we could chill, kick it....get to know each other a little better....that's all....
Gloria: Oh really? And how do you propose we do that?
Shakir: I have a few ideas...
Shakir leans in and begins to kiss Gloria. Gloria tenses up, but after a few seconds she begins to relax and leans back onto the bed. Shakir begins to unbutton Gloria's shirt, just as someone starts knocking on his door.
Shakir: Who the heck is that? Oh forget it. They'll have to come back later.
The knocking gets louder and Karissa starts to yell through the door from the other side.
Karissa: Shakir! Shakir! Open the door, Shakir! I know your here! And I'm not leaving until you do!

Over at the home of Melinda Ferguson, she is in her bedroom putting the finishing touches on her makeup, when Joseph Davenport comes out of the bathroom from the shower in just a towel....
Joseph: You look amazing.
Melinda turns to face him and looks him up and down.
Melinda: So do you....
Melinda starts to giggle.
Joseph: Alright now! Keep talking like that girl and you gonna be late for your meeting with Dr. Vines.
Melinda sighs deeply.
Melinda: So I look okay? Really? This meeting is very important.
Joseph: I know sweetie. And yes, you look wonderful. You'll do fine. Are you sure you don't want me to come along?
Melinda: No, you better not. I mean.....we're not married so overall, it just wouldn't look right, you know? Plus, our affair is the reason I'm in this mess to begin with!
Joseph: Yeah, I know.
Melinda: At least until your divorce is final, I just think....
Joseph: Shh....you don't have to explain. I get it. I still wish you'd reconsider moving in with me, though....
Melinda: Joe.....
Joseph: I know, I know.
Melinda: Okay, I better get going. I don't want to be late.
Joseph: Okay. Call me when your done. I have a lot of appointments this afternoon so if I don't pick right up, I'll call you when I can.
Melinda: Thanks, sweetie.
Melinda gives Joseph a quick kiss before heading out to meet with Dr. Vines, the president of the board of trustees....

Sheena: Is something wrong?
Carsen: Well not exactly.....
Natalie: What is it, soror?
Carsen: It's about the process that you're about to start.
Natalie: Oh no. Is it not going to be approved?
Carsen: Oh no, that's not it. That's all taken care of. It's about the line itself.......I don't care who makes the line or doesn't make the line....but Lashonda Edwards....

Melinda: Great! I've had a few months to rest. I had a chance to do a little traveling, reading, I got to visit with my daughter Miya....my friend, Valerie....it's been a nice break. Initially I was very upset about the suspension, but once I learned to embrace it, I really took advantage of the time I had. And now I feel completely rejuvenated and ready to reassume my role as the President. I'm even more energized than ever!
Dr. Vines: I'm glad to hear that, Melinda.....lots of changes have happened in the administration building....
Melinda: So I've heard....
Dr. Vines looks over Melinda's shoulder.
