Loretha visits her mother, who cannot believe Odessa and Loretha went on a cruise together and got along. They discuss how Odessa no longer works at the nursing home and Loretha’s new friendship with Carolyn. When she leaves the nursing home, Loretha adopts a second dog so B. B. King is not lonely. Loretha and B. B. King visit the animal shelter and quickly find a dog with whom B. B. King connects; Loretha names the new dog Billie Holiday.

Loretha encounters Odessa while visiting Cinnamon and Jonas. Odessa updates Loretha about her dates and leaves. Cinnamon and Jonas offer to have Loretha stay for dinner, but she declines. Instead, she asks when they want to move into their great-grandmother’s house and gives them the keys to Ma’s home. Finally, Loretha sees Dr. Alexopolous, who commends the work Loretha has done to improve her health and glucose numbers.

Loretha, Sadie, Lucky, and Korynthia restart their monthly dinners. Loretha hosts the dinner and prepares healthy, diabetic-friendly foods that benefit Lucky after her surgery. Even with Poochie gone, they all agree they want the dinners to continue because of their positive influences on each other. The friends discuss their updates: Loretha invites everyone to the House of Beauty and Glamour’s grand reopening; Sadie is happily married to Callie; Lucky and Joe have decided to stay close to friends and only travel abroad rather than move; and Henry is helping renovate Korynthia’s house.
