Alex, who is still reeling from the argument with Ceaser in the previous episode, decides to take matters into his own hands. He buys himself a new car to show that he can thrive without the shop and declares that he won't be coming back.

Meanwhile, Ceaser is busy making plans for the future of Black Ink. He decides that he wants to open a second location in Atlanta, and he enlists the help of a real estate agent to find the perfect spot.
