Girlfriends

On Joan's last day in New Orleans volunteering helping the victims of Hurricane Katrina, she meets Aaron, a fellow volunteer who asks her out. Later, when Joan arrives in LA, she is determined to repair her relationship with Maya.

When Joan returns to work, she finds out that William has put Monica in charge of the bar. When Joan confronts William about Monica's new position, he reveals that proposing to Monica was a mistake.

Joan realises that Maya's house is the hang-out spot and she is no longer the centre of the friendship.

Lynn performs at a club during open mic night; a record executive offers to help her with her career but she declines.

Joan learns that Maya and Lynn did not tell her about a recent outing with Toni; Joan insists on bringing Monica into the circle of friends.

Maya discovers that Jabari has been skipping school and plagiarised a writing assignment. When Lynn suggests that Jabari may be acting out because of his new suburban environment, Maya disagrees and insists that she is giving him a better life.
