Apparently, the station has set up a game called "Win a Date with Donnie." (Another sign that he is devolving: He is now being whored out in Kentucky.) There are two contestants: Meghan and Tiffany. They will be asked trivia questions, will buzz in, and get a point if they answer them correctly. They get asked where he's from, what color his eyes are, and what his first single is.

The bonus question is to write down as many of his song titles as possible. Meghan only knows "Dr. Love" and "Take You There," so Tiffany wins and gets to accompany him to a bar and grill. She says, "I just gotta tell you, I love 'Dr. Love.' It's just one of those songs that just kinda hits me." Yeah, hits me with an anvil repeatedly until I want to die. She then borrows a word from the 90s and says that she halfway expected him to be....a butthead. But he actually seems nice and down to earth. Okay, yes. I'll give him that. Brillo might not have much charisma or smarts, but he does seem nice. There.

Back in the unhappy world of financial crisis, Que tells Robert that his sister is out of school and his mom just quit her job. He says that even though he was just working at McDonald's before, at least he got a consistent check every week. Now he has to decide between having dinner and saving money for his family. Robert says that Will has a son and Brian has two kids, so he just needs to hold on. Yes, correct. Brian has two kids. I don't even know what to say about that, so we'll just move along. Que cries and says he needs help. Robert says that so many people want to be them, they need to realize what they've got. I am met with imagery inside of my head of Diddy holding Que upside down by his ankles and shaking him until all of the coins fall out of his pockets.

The next morning, Que is packing to go home. He says that his mom called him crying, and he can't take it any more. Will says that he feels him. They are in the limelight, but they are not making limelight money, and they need to be honest to themselves. He says that the first person he'll give money to is his mom, but he's not there yet. Will listens and encourages Que to stay. I love Will. He always seems like the most grown up, down to earth member of the group. Will: I approve.

The guys go to the dance studio, figuring that they might as well work on their moves while they're not doing anything else. And guess who meets them there? Laurie Ann "Boomcat" Gibson! We get to relive her drama but Brian, but apparently that is all in the past. Her hair looks like it's been hacked up by a flowbee, but otherwise very little has changed. They practice their moves to "Come with Me" and some boomcats. They do a fantastical job. How on earth is everything so good? There must be something wrong! If the guys aren't acting lazy and bored, then Boomcat smells a rat.

Boomcat wants to know what is going on. Que and Will explain their money situation. They ask her how she feels about Danity Kane breaking up. She hims and haws and says that they've seen all the breakups, so they can use that as an example of what not to do. For Diddy so loved the world, that he gave the life of his only girl band.

To cheer the boys up, Dawn and Aundrea throw a Mardi Gras party. They hire a full band, make lots of drinks, and get lots of beads. It's just like a Zatarain's commercial! If you can't stand the heat, then stay out of the bayou! But Que just lies around and feels depressed. He thinks everyone else is in denial about needing money, and no one is on his same page.
