When the police show up to arrest Boonie his kids reveal he wasn't lying about paying and Shalinka and Boonie come to an understanding.

Still not sure how this is on television. It would be a mildly funny youtube series. It has all the same problems, and they seem to just be trying to add in one liners to get around the stereotypes when they aren't having the characters say 'bitch' and 'nigga'. Jesus never stops being likable, Lloyd has a moment or do doing his standard thing he's done for decades, and Vic's story is followable, but overall this show is still a mess.
