La Toya's brother, Michael Jackson, had always been very protective of her, which made it difficult for her to date. However, now that Michael was no more, La Toya wanted to open herself up to new experiences. She is seen recording a message for the dating website she had registered on, where she described herself as a woman who wants someone to be "loving, caring, and kind."
As she sets out to go on her first date in years, La Toya is anxious yet excited. Her date, Jeffré, turns out to be a perfect gentleman who takes her out for dinner and a stroll on the beach. La Toya seems to have had a great time with Jeffré, and she seems impressed with his manners, attire, and demeanor.
However, La Toya's new romance hits a bump when Jeffré reveals that he is gay. La Toya, although disappointed, handles the situation gracefully. She decides that she wants Jeffré to stay in her life, and they continue to go out on more dates as friends.
