LisaRaye- "The Real McCoy" ep 2- "You'll always be a Mommy's girl"

This episode begins with LisaRaye checking up on her daughter Kai at her job. Kai seems like a really well mannered young lady and she loves her mom but is trying to gain her independence. She wants her mother to allow her to make mistakes and find her own way. That's easier said than done and almost impossible when the mother is a control freak. Sorry Kai.

They go to lunch and  LisaRaye uses this time to grill Kai about Joelle, Kai's current boyfriend. She literally gives Kai the third degree. Kai knows her mom and takes the grilling with a grain of salt.

LisaRaye gets so caught up in Kai's love-life that she forgets about the time. She ends up running late, as usual, to  fashion designer and former contestant on Project Runway, Jerrell Scott's fashion show. Joe eX booked the show for her and she's going to walk the runway. She misses rehearsal and finally arrives when the show has already started. She's immediately whisked to hair and make-up. She's nervous because it's been a long time since her modeling days. Kai is out in the audience to cheer her on and she struts with confidence down the runway. Despite missing rehearsal she does a good job.

She meets with Rev. Al Sharpton and her attorney Sheila Williams about the divorce settlement. She got Rev. Al on board because she needed someone on her side to help her fight what may be a long, arduous battle and the good Reverend has fought many. LisaRaye's goal is to get the pre-nuptial agreement enforced. But the $180 million dollar man is basically claiming that he's now broke. Sheila poses the question- at the end of the day if he doesn't have any assests how does LisaRaye get money? He can basically go after her for spousal support if she revives her career and starts to make money. This infuriates LisaRaye and the girl from the "South-side of Chicago" comes out! She wants to settle it like they would in the streets. Rev. Al and her lawyer convince her that that's not a good idea- lol! Her lawyer tells her to wrap her head around the worst case scenario which is the soon to be ex having no assests and LisaRaye be prepared to cut her losses and basically get nothing. Talk about bitter pill to swallow- that sucks!

The next morning she wakes Kai up with kisses and the two hit the town for a shopping excursion. Joelle is coming over for dinner and she wants to look cute.

As dinner is being  prepared  LisaRaye has the major sex talk with Kai- to the tune of how many times have they had sex and what type of condom does he wear- lubricated or not? Kai is mortified and nervous for Joelle. I am too.

The guest of honor arrives and dinner is a tad bit awkward. LisaRaye goes right in on Joelle and asks him if  wants kids- lol! What?!? Kai looks at her like she's crazy. Mind you- she just started dating the boy so I don't think that that question is the most appropriate one to ask but she's the mom.  Joelle says not right now- good answer Joelle. Joelle is an entrepenuer and LisaRaye impressed by how smart he is and decides that Kai has picked a good one. He's welcomed in the McCoy house anytime.

All''s well that ends well.

See ya next week.
