- March 31, 2014
Cease and Desist is the fourteenth episode of the second season of Black Ink Crew: New York. In this episode, tensions reach an all-time high at the shop as Ceaser tries to reign in his staff and keep their dramas from spilling out into the streets.
The episode kicks off with the Black Ink crew still feeling shell shocked from the previous episode's revelations about Quani and Puma being fired. Ceaser is still struggling to keep peace within the crew, while also trying to juggle the daily happenings of the shop. Meanwhile, Donna and Alex's relationship continues to cause issues, and Sky is still on edge after her son's visit.
As the episode progresses, things escalate quickly. When Ted unexpectedly shows up at the shop, he and Ceaser get into a heated argument, with Ted accusing Ceaser of not being a real leader and being too self-centered to be a good boss. The two nearly come to blows before Donna and Walt step in to separate them.
After the altercation with Ted, Ceaser is faced with yet another problem: the threat of a lawsuit from one of his former clients. Apparently, a woman who had a tattoo done at Black Ink is claiming that the ink caused her to have an allergic reaction and is now threatening to take legal action against Ceaser and the shop. Ceaser is understandably stressed out by this news and tries to come up with a plan to deal with the situation before it gets any worse.
Meanwhile, Alex is still struggling with his feelings for Donna. He goes to see Melody, the shop's resident therapist, for advice on how to handle the situation. Melody tells him that he needs to take a step back and really figure out what he wants before he can move forward with Donna or anyone else. Alex seems to take her advice to heart and decides to take some time to himself to sort out his emotions.
Later in the episode, Sky's anxieties about her son's visit come to a head when he unexpectedly shows up at the shop. Sky is torn between wanting to spend time with him and also not wanting to jeopardize her relationship with her adopted son Des. The situation is made even more complicated when Des shows up at the shop as well, and Sky is forced to navigate the delicate balance between her two families.
Finally, the episode concludes with a huge blowout between Donna and Alex. After trying to take Melody's advice and take some space, Alex returns to the shop and finds out that Donna has been getting closer to one of his friends. He confronts her about it and things quickly turn ugly, with both of them screaming at each other and not able to see eye to eye.
Overall, Cease and Desist is a fast-paced and dramatic episode that keeps viewers on the edge of their seats. While tensions between the crew are at an all-time high, there is also a sense of shared bond and loyalty that keeps everyone together despite their differences. Whether you're a fan of this show or just love a good reality TV showdown, this episode is definitely one to watch.
