- April 25, 2016
In the fourth episode of Black Ink Crew: New York season 4, titled "The Dutchess and the Frog," tensions are high as Dutchess returns to the shop after her trip to North Carolina. Upon her arrival, she is met with a less-than-welcoming reception from her former co-workers.
Ceaser, the owner of the shop, is especially upset with Dutchess for leaving without warning and failing to communicate with him about her departure. He feels like he's been left in the dark and is seeking answers as to why she left.
Meanwhile, Sky is dealing with her own drama as she prepares for her son's graduation. She's feeling emotional as she reflects on the ups and downs of their relationship and the sacrifices she's made as a single mother. Her son is her pride and joy, and she wants to make his graduation ceremony a memorable one.
Back at the shop, tensions between Dutchess and the rest of the crew continue to escalate. Puma, who was once close with Dutchess but has since distanced himself, is especially vocal about his displeasure with her return. He feels like she abandoned them and left them to clean up the mess without her.
The episode also shows a softer side of some of the crew. Donna, who has had her fair share of drama in the past, reaches out to Dutchess and tries to make amends. She expresses her concern for Dutchess and acknowledges that she too has made mistakes in the past.
Overall, "The Dutchess and the Frog" is a tense but emotional episode, which has the crew reflecting on their relationships and attempting to move forward from past mistakes. The focus on family and loyalty is prevalent throughout, making for a heartfelt and relatable episode.
