Seasons of Fidelity: Season Two

Rate this book
In season 2, love prevails, two broken souls form a rebellious bond, and another pair is so damaged they can’t possibly progress beyond friendship. With bitter endings come new beginnings. The cast of Seasons is back and in the same place we left them – within their individual worlds yet again without the delirium their coexistence brings. That is, until a blow knocks the cosmos out of synch and unites them under punishing circumstances for another round of emotional TAG. Justice, Dice, Aleeya, and Yael will all have to share space again. What will happen when they come face-to-face with such unfinished affairs? Meanwhile Ray and Regina are suffering a devastating loss that will either bring them closer together – despite already being in committed relationships with spouses to lean on – or put more distance between two old friends who haven’t quite learned one another again. Season 2 is a Ferris wheel of emotions, that in the end, will leave some brought back down to solid ground and some left sitting in the clouds. Others just may be let off the ride altogether. Get comfortable and fall back into the world of this complex cast. Seasons of Fidelity has been renewed for a second season!

IKYFL!!!!!! What TF is happening?!?!😩😩 Y’all why did TA chew me up and spit me out like this?!? Ion like it 🗣️AT ALL!!! It’s just not right and I should be entitled to compensation at this point 🤣😩

So I mean where do I even begin?! I have soooooo much to say and at the same time don’t want to say too much and risk spoiling anything for those of you that are reading this review and plan to indulge in this series.

Welp after tragedy struck this crew in book one, they are poorly and haphazardly putting themselves back together or not 🥴. Some are doing a piss poor ass job while others are trying.

My heart aches for them all, even the ones that may not all the way deserve it. I’m loving the growth of a few of these characters and know that the struggle to pull themselves out of this dark hole has 👏🏽 been 👏🏽real👏🏽. I just need the ones that are still nice and comfortable in this hole (you know who you are 👀) to pull themselves TF out!!!! Pleaseeee make it out!!!

The last 50 or so pages has me anxious AF, in my feelings AF, scared AF, happy AF, everything AF🤣🤣 ughhhhh let me get to book three! As if these 900+ pages (books one and two) haven’t already stressed me out enough, I know End Game is about to make me work for these HEA but lord please let there be some wins and HEAs for this crew. Despite my emotional state, TA has written TF out of this series and I highly recommend you check it out! Until book three’s review ✌🏽

‘That is all a woman could ask for…to be kissed like a wife and looked at like a mistress…

Season 1 left us devastated with an unfathomable visual that is to be Regina’s recurring nightmare and Ray’s traumatic heartbreaking moment in time. The aftermath…no rewinds…no repeats…no do-overs…what’s left in the wake of broken puzzle pieces that are too scattered to make logical decisions less known realistic conclusions. When life is already dismal and mundane, where can a broken woman, a forlorn mother find the strength to live life…who can she turn to…what can she do to find hope in the face of an overwhelming despair that transcends people, places and time? Shatterproof Ray has Superman strength, he’s conquered the world, saved those in his world, and finally is in the free world…so what happens when a piece of his heart is sliced with kryptonite…how many losses can one man sustain? Aleeya and Derrick have come to a compromise and she’s enjoying all the perks of being on the arm of that Fine Wine deemed Dice, basking in the fruits of his labor like a dimepiece, not a side piece. Justice is out in sunny Cali living life like its golden, with a new lady love and thriving with the assistance of Connection Dice. Yael is still entrenched in misery as she attempts to fight the good fight, while wearing the battering and bruises as badges of disgrace. Tragedy catapults each of them from their everyday worlds that they once knew while each are pulled into the weightiness of catastrophic events that will or may disrupt and destroy what used to be life in its purest form.

Seasons of Fidelity: Season II is the highly anticipated read of 2018. Season 1 left the readers distraught with so many questions, theories, even assumptions...but no answers. SOF II delves into one of the darkest places a parent could ever have the misfortune of going, while taking the rest of the family with them and we are given front row seats with VIP treatment. Suicide, infidelity, betrayals, domestic abuse, drug abuse, rape, bribery, and the ultimate betrayals are all the sordid morsels that consume this masterpiece. Life has so many facets, so many components, so in calling out the bad, you have to gravitate to the love, the caring, the selfless acts, the compassion and the loyalty that plays out with each of these unforgettable characters…I felt like I was watching my favorite series in that I would get to scene and just hold my breath, because I felt like I’d have to wait a week…not so. It’s just that good though! Takerra cultivated this project with so much depth, that you find yourself searching for a glimmer of light at times, as she captures the grief, the hopelessness, the depression, the weakness that overpowers the strengths and vice versa as they fight for each new day of life. I boisterously applaud Takerra for painting so vivid a picture that depicts that death affects the family as a whole, and the emotional whirlwind that spirals aimlessly amidst the questions and the struggles that ensues in the aftershock. With each TA Production, I gain a new echelon of respect and perspective of Takerra’s natural skills and advancement in this game that supersedes it as a profession. Her growth is colossal as I have journeyed with this wordsmith from the beginning and as impressed as I was then, I can’t begin to express just how brilliant her writing has escalated. 5***** isn’t near enough what she deserves for this awesome work!!! Baby, she penned this like a BOSS!!!!! The Sky Is the Limit!! I know that we will one day see the name Takerra Allen embedded on the silver screen!!! Kudo’s!!!!

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

This review is for all three books in the series and the same review will be posted for each individual book.

This series had my emotions all over the place. The stories were fast paced and packed with so much trauma, baggage and drama. The series starts with six main characters, Ray, Dice, Justice, Regina, Aleeya and Yael. Everyone with the exception of Yael knew each or about each during childhood. Ray and Regina are high school sweethearts and soulmates. Ray is from a single parent home and his father incarcerated. Even though his home life is the most stable, he still finds himself on the streets. Regina lives with her over zealous and religious grandmother and also assists with raising her little sister Aleeya. When Regina finds out she’s pregnant, Ray is taken away from her with a 15 year sentence. Upon his release from prison, they both want that old thing back. But Regina’s married and Ray’s in a committed relationship with his ride or die. They soon find themselves reunited by tragedy and unresolved issues for a second chance romance.

Dice is the man of the hour, pimps of all pimps and garden tool of all garden tools. Weighed down by a doormat of a girlfriend, 3 boys (2 bad ones a little Angel), and mommy issues, all Dice knows how to do is make money and fall in between legs. Aleeya is the baby of the group, with a deceased mother, absent father and hateful grandmother, she’s searching for love in all the wrong places. When Leeya and Dice meet at Ray’s welcome home celebration, the chemistry is immediate. With Aleeya being 21 and Dice in his early 30’s and being the ladies man that he is, their relationship is frowned upon. Aleeya has to decide if she’s ready to play house or continue on her path of growth and healing. Dice has met his met his match in Aleeya. He doesn’t believe in love but he’s ready to risk it in the name of.

Justice and Yeal was my least favorite story and I feel like it was enough going on in the other two stories that this one could have been admitted. Just had an abusive father that contributed to his demons but the loss of half his family made up the rest. Yael was born in Gabon, came over to visit family and met a man. she gave him her heart and upon his departure, he gave her a baby. Looking for Love and Stability, she met an older man whom she married. He gave her stability, another baby and lots and lots of a_ _ whippings. Justice and Yael meet, fell for each other and the story is just one disastrous event after another.

If I could give this book 10 stars I would! Season 2 was everything I expected it to be and much more. The way Takerra writes this story you feel every emotion these characters goes through. The story picks up where Season one ended and it was heartwrenching to say the least. It was emotional and I felt Regina and Ray's pain. The way the story read, I felt like I was watching a series on TV and not reading a book. I loved how the ladies showed strength and resilience and the men showed some vulnerability. Everyone needs a Jonathan in their life, he brought so much joy and comedy to the story. Some truths were told and lives were forever changed. There was the moments of love and also those moments where the characters had to deal with the consequences of their decisions. I don't want to say anymore because I won't spoil it for the rest. This is not a story to rush through, but a story where you take your time to appreciate the details and the jewels that makes this read so relatable and addictive.

This author gonna take you through it and the reason it’s not 5 stars is cus I notice a pattern in her characters and it annoys me a bit. Like I get the desire to be loved and wanted but it just seems like all her characters be making a mess of the lives with no real reasoning behind it. Like be single for more than 4 secs figure out what you really want but nooooo they gotta do the love triangle, Rhombus, rectangle lmao anything but giving themselves a second to think. It’s like I can appreciate the flaws but the stupidity gets exhausting at times.

In the first season, old friends were all brought together for a celebration of life, but here they are together again, in mourning and death. The change in times has brought new revelations. And when secrets can't stay contained, past and present mingle, and love mixes into the equation, we have the makings of the seasons of fidelity.


It's not as feasibly innate that an author can  captivate their audience as well as they did with their first book in a series, but Allen has mastered this knack for not only seamlessly making a cohesive storyline but writing them as movies per installment. In taking this literary journey, it feels like a sequel to some motion picture that teased your senses, but then to further sit back to be devoured all over again when you just got over the epicness of the first screening. Yes, this isn't just reading: this storyline touched my heart, watered my eyes, blushed my cheeks, wrecked my panties, filled my belly with hysterical laughter, and warmed my soul. Allen delighted ever sensory mode my body possibly could take on with this literary experience! Classic T.A.!

The cast of characters was such a unique blend and melting plot of drama. There wasn't a focal point on just one couple, but a balance of everyone's trials and triumphants played out from scene to scene. Well, Dice is Dice and adds that finesse that can cream ya panties. Aleeya with her growing pains and misguided choices, even when it feels so right yet wrong. Yael and Just so far apart yet in sync with their vices. And Ray and Gee's fickle dynamics and parental woes to fuse them all back together again. I loved the pacing from chapter to chapter and how everyone had a voice yet within their respective chapters, other characters were perceived through their eyes. Did that make sense? I hope it did: it's like Ray's chapter you could be reading, yet other characters within said chapter are speaking and we get to experience them through another's perception of them. It was a total mind f*ck with the shifting of one characters' life to the next. One minute it could be a mind blowing event that puts you on your a**...the next we are whisked away like a Calgon commercial to a serene and tender moment that caresses the heart.

In true T.A fashion, you get love with all its grit and gore. And for those nagging questions of the first season? Oh, believe me when I say you get those answered, with the heat of summer licking at your back to the chill of fall with the promise of more storms. Oh, we get these seasons, alright! And even with the clarity, it brings more confusion like mo' money, mo' problems. This isn't a cliffhanger per say, but just a really good movie that has more damage to handle, and hearts to mend...the characters' and hell, even the readers'. This was so much to digest with the various characters that it was only fitting we be fed in doses. I can't wait for the finale; I'm on 'bated breath, deep sighing, asking for a life line' kind of waiting. Allen will do this to you: read. this. book. She didn't just hit it out the box...office, but carved her own freaking genre!

Season two was the official poster child for struggle love! I'm exhausted and these characters seriously had me talking back to the ebook. Now Jonathan deserves a gold star for bringing the funny and being a ride or die friend. Nat was shady in book one and she proved herself true in book two. I felt like Yael and Regina had their own moments of redemption and growth. I liked that we got a true glimpse into how Ray & Justice's bond was so evident in the first book. Dice/Derrick got his wake up call but it was nice to see his layers. I loved the moment he shared with his son and with Aleeya in his car. I also approved of the friendship that he shared with Aleeya. I liked their vulnerability and the uncomfortable questions they would ask each other. I also liked how both shared how they see each other. Aleeya's sexual assault was a tragedy and I really hope she chooses to take legal action against the guy in the next book. Harrison's secrets were revealed and that little victory Regina got was a good win for her. Yael's strength in this book really showed and I'm so glad she armed herself with a lawyer. Craig is still trash and will forever be trash! I'm so glad we got answers about R.J.'s suicide and it felt like it reopened the wound that was healing for some of the characters. R.J.'s classmates ought to be ashamed of themselves. Those fake and phony children had the nerve to show up to the funeral and make a video montage knowing they taunted that boy about his sexuality. Ugh! I missed the quotes at the beginning of each chapter but I did like that the author put the character names so that the reader knew whose point of view the story was coming from. Grief, alcoholism, suicide, double standards, love, co-parenting, domestic abuse were some of the topics that stood out to me in this book.

Good

I liked it. It was a good book. But it was hard to read. I waited quite a while after reading the first one to read this. These books are very very detailed and very wordy. Sometimes to a fault. I'm not much of a fan of dice and aleeyah but their story doesn't take away from the book for me. 3 stars bc it is unnecessarily drawn out but still a good read.

Whew......

This series is a rollercoaster that I'm not ready to get off of! The drama, the love, the hate, the hurt, the back and forth it's all so intriguing. Everyone has so much going on , and through it all I just keep thinking "Ray so sexy" 😂 book bae material! I don't want to say too much and ruin the suspense for those who haven't read part 2 yet, but just make sure you buckle up!

A New Season

Rating: ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

WARNING: SPOILERS AHEAD

“I think life is about choices and we need to make them based on what’s important to us. What we need,” Justice discoursed. “Even if it means sacrificing what we want.”

This series is amazing—definitely has taken me through a lot of emotions. It’s so layered, the type of story that will leave its impact on you weeks and even months after finishing it. I haven’t even made it to the end, and I already know these characters and their stories will always stick with me.

She has a way of making you fall in love with her characters, even when they’re flawed or do things that go against your morals. I’m not a fan of the cheating trope, and there was a lot of that going on—but for different reasons.

I don’t think Takerra is necessarily glorifying or trying to make cheating seem okay. I think she’s painting the picture that a lot of situations aren’t black and white, and there are many different factors that come into play that explain why people make certain decisions.

I love how she doesn’t write flawless, perfect characters, and she also doesn’t write fantasy-perfect situations or realities. She writes in a way where—even if it’s just the smallest detail—you can relate to it. I feel like that really sets her apart from other authors. That’s why she leaves such an impact on people who read her books. It’s almost addicting how real her writing is—it’s straight up, no chaser.

I still don’t care for Dice and Aleeya’s relationship, although I can definitely feel the chemistry and the love between them. I’m not entirely sure if it’s just not the right time for them, or if they’re simply not the right people for each other. I was talking to somebody about this, and they told me they were trauma bonding, and I’m like, yes—exactly that!

One of the key signs of trauma bonding is that you feel trapped, like you can't let go. I feel like Aleeya is so wrapped up in Dice that she can’t let him go. Their connection is so intense, but it can also be damaging. He’s fallen in love for the first time and doesn’t know how to deal with those emotions. He only knows how to cope through sex and money, because unfortunately, that’s where he sees his self-worth due to childhood neglect and being groomed.

The proposal, in my opinion, was very irrational. The last thing they need is to be getting married—especially Aleeya. She’s a smart girl and has some self-worth, but I can see her still getting too caught up in him. She has so much potential and she’s so young. She needs to really figure herself out before being tied down like that. They both need to address and heal from their trauma apart from each other.

I still don’t like Dice, but Takerra does a good job of making you sympathize with her characters—even when they say or do the wrong things. Dice isn’t completely in the wrong, because I can understand that if a woman allows certain things, he’s going to do it. But I do feel like he takes advantage of Mimi. He knows she’ll do anything to keep him, and he plays on that. I couldn’t really be happy for Dice and Aleeya because he was hurting Mimi in the process. And even though she is unfortunately allowing it—does it still make it right for him to do what he’s doing?

That scene when he brought Aleeya to Mimi on some “hear me out” type ish—I really had to ask myself, what kind of man would bring his side chick to his main chick on some *I wanna be with her* ish? It really baffled me! Made me dislike his character even more. How could he be so disrespectful to a woman he claims to love? Then I had to remember that he doesn’t like to deal with emotions. He only knows how to properly engage with a woman physically—not emotionally. Aleeya had him feeling things he never felt before. She made him see that there was more to him than just his looks, sex, and money. And he made her see that there was more to her as well. He just doesn’t know how to properly handle her—or what he feels for her.

My heart is happy and sad for Ray and Regina. They’ve been through so much and are still going through a lot. I’m happy they finally found their way back to each other after everything they had to deal with, but my heart still hurts that they lost R.J. That video at the end was just devastating. I couldn’t imagine that type of heartbreak. I can’t imagine what it’s like to feel that alone. He would want his parents to be happy, and I think they’re going to heal together—and help heal each other in the process—from the devastating loss.

Regina is so strong, and I love how Ray really just takes charge and allows her to comfortably fall into her femininity. He is such a MAN—mature, a provider, and a protector. The type of man that will carry the whole world on his shoulders just to keep a smile on your face. Their love is so potent, and you can’t help but root for them. Their connection is so strong it jumps off the pages. I love how he connected to Maddie so effortlessly—that was so sweet.

I feel like a lot of women can relate to Regina, Yael, and Aleeya, which makes these characters even more special.

* Regina: a strong woman trying to keep everything together, but really hurting and lonely on the inside.
* Yael: a beautiful soul who got dealt a terrible hand in life, trying to survive every day for the sake of her children and herself, but still managing to keep her head up.
* Aleeya: a young, beautiful, wild, and smart woman with a lot of potential, dealing with abandonment issues and not feeling good enough because of it.

Very real and relatable circumstances that a lot of people can identify with in some way. I think I was able to relate to all three of them in one way or another—whether big or small.

Honestly, I felt so many different emotions about Justice and Yael. Their connection is really beautiful. I feel like they entered each other’s lives for a reason. They both gave something to the other that they didn’t realize they needed. I’m sad because after everything Yael has been through with that devil, she *deserves* to have a man that’s going to love and treat her right—to treasure her like the beautiful person she is. But due to their current circumstances, with both of them fighting demons, I don’t think it’s their time.

She can’t help him fight his demons while she’s still fighting and trying to heal from hers. My heart broke because she wanted that man so bad but knew it wasn’t the right time. She selflessly put her emotions aside to be there for him as a friend and not as a lover in that moment. How could she *not* want and fall in love with a man like Justice? Even with his flaws, that man’s heart is golden.

I was crying reading that scene when he slapped Ori. Although he hit her, I truly don’t believe he meant to. That’s not his character at all. She brought up his wife and son, which is a very sensitive topic for him, and I’m pretty sure she knew that. I’m not justifying it—because it was wrong—but that’s not who he is as a person.

I do also have to say this: Justice and Ray really disappointed me—especially Justice, because I expected way better from him. I am happy that Yael finally left her situation, but Ori trusted him alone in the house with her. She’s *way* better than me, ��cause ain’t no way. He literally crossed the line. I was glad it was interrupted, though—but it still shouldn’t have gone that far.

And Ray let a moment of weakness get the better of him. Gail knew exactly what she was doing, and he took the bait. And yeah, he stopped—but again, it still shouldn’t have gone that far.

Overall, I really enjoyed this book just as much as the first one, and I highly recommend it.

Loves Train...

I literally had to sit on my thoughts for 24 hours before I could come up with a worthy review...To love & to be loved is the bedrock of our existence. But love must also flex & adapt. Rigid love is not true love. It is veiled manipulation, a conditional time bomb that explodes when frustated. Genuine love willingly waits! It isn't pushy or demanding. While it has its limits, its boundaries are far-reaching. It neither clutches nor clings. Real love is not shortsighted, selfish, or insensitive. It detects needs and does what is best for the other person without being told.-Unknown.
I read this today and instantly thought of SOF II. These characters are the personification of this description. Although they all fall short trying to wing it I pray they stand tall in their journey. Ray and Regina have shocked the hell out me with their Romeo and Juliet love affair. I am afraid that a certain secret will cause them to crash. Aleeya and Dice...I am SO mad at Dice right now. I know he is doing what he thinks is best but he took a bite of that 'humble pie' but he didn't finish it. Like I stated before Drake's song Jaded is Dice to a Tee!
Aleeya is who I am most proud of, recognizes her weakness and is making an effort to move forward. Oh Justice...the Fragile Hero. He can't save himself from his demons. I need him to seek help like Yael said...'for Sage'. Yael has really impressed me. She hit rock bottom and although she is staying afloat she tethered Justice to her buoy, which in turn led to his ultimate down fall. ALL of them are pieces of a puzzle that once completed will be in hopefully a better place.

Season two did not disappoint at all! From the start of the story we pick up where we left off at in season one and to say it was an emotional start was an understatement. Each chapter played out like an episode on a tv show making this book impossible to put down. I just had to find out what happened next. I laughed, teared up, my heart was damn near pounding out my chest in certain scenes. Aleeya is probably my favorite character in this series, Ray a close second. Aleeya is very smart and has a good heart. All of the couples were in terrible relationships that were blah af, especially Regina with Harrison... ugh Harrison lol. Oddly, I’m rooting for Dice but hopefully he won’t have me on no Tyra Banks’s “I was rooting for you, we were all rooting for you!” type ish. I just want that brother to heal and be his best self. There’s something so deeply effed up with him but underneath all that you can tell he really is a compassionate soul. Like you have to look REALLY damn deep tho I’m sure lol. In an effort to keep this review short and cute I will stop here but trust me I could go on! This was an excellent read and I can’t wait to read the final season because I know it’s going to be goooood. Thanks for another great reading experience!

Best Season Ever! 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽

This book was 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥! This season outdid the last season. I had so many emotions reading this book. This author is the only 1 that can make me cry, laugh out loud, and be ready to fight someone #emotionalrollercoaster. My fav character is Ray. But im attracted to chaos...Derrick aka Dice! Im a lil dysfunctional so i can relate. Ha! My fav scene is when Ray helped Regina get dressed for their sons funeral It was so damn intense...i missed my train stop. I felt every emotion from those pages..love, lost, lust, lurking, liability.. Hands down,Takerra needs an Oscar for her writing skills! I felt every word. She had me hugging and kissing my son more. And i love that she puts us on to music, naming songs. I put them on everytime to set the mood. 2nd fav scene was when Justin had dinner with Yael, Ori, and his daughter. Very funny! Cant wait for the next seaon..wtf is Yael?

Anxiety part 2!!

MS Allen got me in a freaking chokehold with this series. I want to be finished so my heart rate can get back to normal, and I want it to never end because I'm so invested in the characters. Where the hell is Yael? What is Justice doing? Why is Yael husband still breathing!!! And the audacity of Ori to bring up Justice dead wife and son!! You don't know him to talk like that!!! Oh that irked me. Effing Dice, that's all I can say. Babygirl got him risking it all.
Season 3 probably about to have me day drinking.

PERFECTION!!!

Do I have to say more than that?!! Takerra is one of the most talented authors I have ever come across. The way that she draws you and and captivates your mind is simply mind blowing. I feel so bad for Dice, he has some real demons. I can’t wait for the next book. I pray that it comes sooner than later but I wouldn’t dare rush this artist !!!

OMG

I swear I live vicariously through ReGina and Aleeya, and I can’t believe how you know all my thoughts, even down to the song lyrics throughout the book. I’m only upset b/c I have to wait for Season 3

When the Trauma Comes Out & Face You

This book turned my heart every which way but loose!!!…The past trauma that has shaped so many of the characters in this book was astonishing!!!…
I was so happy for Ray and Regina!!!…It took a very lot for her to finally open up and live in her truth, but then Harrison wanted to throw his weight around to try and keep the woman he’s neglected so long!!!…Gigi and Ray were so natural and I could see why she was so drawn to him!!!…
Ray was a man of strength and needed someone, but didn’t know how to ask, but Momma Janice let him know, he will ALWAYS be her baby and she knows when he needs someone!!!…She was going to make sure her son was good!!!…made my heart smile!!!…
Aleeya, a baby in her own sense but sooo wise beyond her years, even at times she didn’t behave as such!!!…Her glow up was so good to watch and you can tell in her doing so, she forced Dice to start to do the same!!!…Mimi accepted so much from Dice and that made it easy to continue to build on his past trauma, but again Ray and Momma Janice spoke some life into him and although he didn’t want to hear it, he needed to let it settle in!!!…
Dice was such a different person when he was with or thought of Aleeya!!!…
Yael, a woman with so much fear and trying to find her own way away from a man that thought being abusive to her was the only way for things to be!!!…I was so happy to see her finally seek help to release the demon that was attached to her and her children!!!…Now that she has vanished into thin air, I hope Rebecca knows where she is and her children are safe!!!…
Justice demons are so heavy and his reaction to Ori took my surprise and broke my heart!!!…I hope he gets the help he needs & I hope that he and Yael are able to build a friendship, because a relationship is not what either of them need right now because they are carrying some serious past trauma with a lot of baggage!!!…
I hope there is some justice for Lil Ray because I’m sure that team did something horrible to him and he suffered in silence!!!…

The emotions..

Wheewww.. lots of emotions.. Regina and Ray navigate burying RJ and dealing with grief.. which pushes them closer together and her and Harrison further apart.. when she finally wants to choose her own happiness and be with Ray, Harrison attempts to threaten her.. however with Dice’s help she learns some secret fetishes of Harrison’s that sets her free.. her snake cousin Gail attempts to speak with Ray during a vulnerable time and he almost does, but then stops.. however it still went further than it needed to be.. Dice confesses his love for Aleeya after he found out someone in his circle Keith had raped her.. Yael goes to Cali for work and meets with Justice, however he has a girlfriend Ori that has been helping him with Sage.. Yael finally files for divorce from Craig, but it gets complicated.. Jaden brings a USB to Ray and Regina that give them a little more insight on his death, that makes them have further questions.. Charisma in a upset that Ray left her again for Regina and disclosed that she had been with Dice.. Regina learns she is pregnant with Ray’s child and they attempt a new normal.. Justice starts drinking again and a disagreement with Ori causes him to hit her, regretfully and he spirals a little more with the alcohol.. he confides in Yael and she makes him promise to get help.. Yael goes missing and I think Craig most likely has something to do with it.. As Dice is waiting to meet with Aleeya, a 17yr female approached and informed she is his daughter.. and then leaves on cliffhanger.. lots of emotions, but so good
