The episode starts with Nikki and Kim going through their wardrobe trying to find the perfect outfits for the party. Nikki, being a proud alumnus of the university, feels that she must make an appearance at the party. However, she is a bit hesitant about dressing like the younger students. Kim, on the other hand, is excited to show off her new dress and ready to party.
As the duo reaches the party, they see that it is exactly what they expected. A lot of young students dressed in bright and flashy clothes, dancing to the latest hip-hop and R&B music. Nikki and Kim are a bit out of place, but they quickly find their groove and start to enjoy the party. They mingle with the younger crowd, and Nikki even manages to win a dance contest against one of the young students.
The highlight of the party is the Spring Bling King and Queen contest, where the students nominate their peers to compete for the title.

However, she has to face stiff competition from younger and more talented students. The competition is tough, and Nikki is not feeling confident about her chances of winning.
As the contest starts, we see Nikki performing a spoken word piece, which impresses the judges and the audience. The younger students, who tried to impress the judges with their singing and dancing skills, are a bit intimidated by Nikki's talent. The question and answer session follows the talent round, and Nikki answers the questions with confidence and wit. The other contestants try their best to match Nikki's wit, but they all fall short.
As the judges announce the winner of the contest, Nikki is excited to hear her name announced as the Spring Bling Queen. She is overwhelmed by the love and support she gets from the young students, who congratulate her on her victory. Her daughter Kim is also happy for her mother and proud of her.
The episode ends with Nikki and Kim leaving the party, with big smiles on their faces. Nikki feels that she managed to connect with the younger generation, and that they accepted her as one of their own. Kim still can't believe that her mother won the Spring Bling Queen contest, and Nikki teases her by saying that age is just a number.
