Black Ink Crew: New York Season 4 Episode 9 The Dutchess of Charlotte

The Dutchess of Charlotte is the ninth episode of season four of the popular reality show Black Ink Crew: New York. In this episode, the crew receives a pleasant surprise when Dutchess, a former member of the crew, pays them a surprise visit from North Carolina. Dutchess, who left the New York shop on bad terms, has never been back since her exit. Therefore, her unannounced visit came as a surprise to everyone.

Ceaser is ecstatic to see Dutchess and embraces her with open arms. However, the rest of the crew are not as warm towards her as he is. The tension between Dutchess and Sky is palpable as the two of them were never close, and Sky feels like Dutchess owes her an apology for some of the things she said about her on social media.

While the rest of the crew is busy dealing with their issues with Dutchess, Ceaser takes her around to show her the shop's progress since her departure. She is impressed by how much the shop has grown, and seeing the old crew members and their good memories together seem to rekindle some of the old flame that once existed between her and Ceaser.

Dutchess shares with Ceaser that she has now opened her shop in North Carolina and has been doing well. However, she misses the old times they shared together, and there seem to be sparks of a reunion between the two of them. Although Ceaser is still with his girlfriend, Dutchess hints that her new shop might need a new manager, and she knows just the person for the job.

The crew decides to throw an impromptu party for Dutchess at the shop, and everyone comes together to welcome her back. During the party, Dutchess makes attempts to mend things with Sky, which leads to a difficult conversation between them. However, after they get a chance to clear the air, the tension between them seems to have greatly reduced.

Just when it seems like everything has been smoothed over, the situation takes a sharp turn. Donna is still frustrated about not being licensed to tattoo legally, and her animosity towards Tokie continues to grow. After a heated exchange, the two of them come to blows in a dramatic fight that threatens to tear the crew apart just as they've come together.

The ending of The Dutchess of Charlotte leaves us hanging, wondering what the consequences of Donna and Tokie's fight will be for the future of the Black Ink Crew.
