Back in the apartment, Big Butter is playing a recorder. Ohhh memories! No matter who you are -- black or white; rich or poor -- everyone under the age of 30 shares the common experience of having played the recorder in grade school music class. The lyrical musings of "Hot Cross Buns" have been burned into my ear drums ever since. But wasn't that song always just "Three Blind Mice" anyway? I never understood the difference. But I also had a learning disability.
Then Will gets a phonecall that Que is at the police station. So BB and Will have to go pick him up. Big Butter, laughing, explains that because Que is filling out a police report, then he probably got his ass whooped. They laugh the entire way there in the van. Like I have never seen them have this much fun before. They are loving every second of it.
Big Butter and Will call Robert and continue laughing about the situation. I can't even understand what Robert is saying. The guys hope that Que will turn up on an episode of NYPD Blue. They are laughing so hard that I have no idea what is going on. But then Joe Chuck shows up at the precinct. The guys continue to laugh. Big Butter says that Que got jumped on by three people, so they are trying not to laugh anymore. He says there's something about Que that everyone wants to beat his ass. Ah yes, the Universe's powerful "Law of Attraction." If you act like a dick, then you get kicked in the dick. Makes sense. Joe Chuck says, Well it has to stop.
The next day, Que tells us that he and Dawn were attacked by three guys. One of the guys got away with Dawn's purse, which had her laptop, wallet, and pretty much everything else. So they have to spend the next day getting all that stuff squared away when they run into Brillo on the street. Nobody told Brillo what happened, so he when Que tells him about it, he says "Really." And then walks off. Then Que tells Dawn that some prophet lady told his mom about it already. So his mom is going to visit because she's worried about his safety. I think I've figured out why Que and his family is so broke: His mom blows their money on Dionne Warwick's Psychic Friends. Blam! Case closed!
Brillo goes to meet with a management team to find out what to do with his career. Of course, Mommarillo joins him. You know what I love about Mommarillo? She has a track suit for every occasion! Dinner at a diner? How about a nice red track suit? Dinner at a nice restaurant? How about one in pink velour? Meeting with son's record label? She has just the black track suit for the occasion! She tells everyone at the meeting that Brillo has been sitting at home, just writing music for days. Brillo adds that he doesn't even pee for hours. Classy! Well, the news is good and, finally, Brillo can take a deep breath: Bad Boy believes in him and is picking up his option for a second album. And he even gets to write songs for it! And they want him to do some modeling, which I guess he used to do when he was a baby. We see a montage of photoshoots, and he's psyched.
Back at Midtown Precinct South, Que and Dawn are there by themselves in a taxi. They don't understand why none of the members of Day26 are helping them. And Joe Chuck scheduled a meeting with Day26 and Que's mom. So Que is confused and thinks something shady is about to happen. Perhaps he should call up Miss Cleo for a premonition!
Dawn and Que arrive back at the house and greet his mom. His mom hugs all the guys and seems quite perky. But she is pretty sure that they need to clean the house. Joe Chuck asks if they are ready for the meeting, and Que says he doesn't understand what's going on. Que's mom -- Nicole is her name -- says that she wasn't invited there by Joe Chuck, she invited herself because she's concerned. And she loves Day26 and sees them as her sons.

I do think Dawn is supporting Que's behavior. She not even telling him to stop she's encouraging this shit. I don't know maybe Dawn is Que's drug dealer or something. lol
I am rooting for Brillo, I really want him to succeed. I know Brillo would never diss his group to do some drugs, I'm sorry go to "dance class"
It was nice to see Big Butter speak up for once but I see it didn't help Que is back to the same old tricks next episode. Hey remember Buddha he use to coach them and stuff maybe he need to council Que or something. Great recap Flipit!!!

I'm sorry not Buddha I meant Ankrah, remember him. Ankrah looked like a skinny Buddha. Ankrah could set Que straight.

Great Recap... The more and more I watch I think Que is on something.... And Dawn ass is wrong for encouraging the shyt..... I am also rooting for Brillo....the boy can truly sing... Something is going to have to be done about Que. I am with Will......

Que's behavior is starting to look a lot like severe paranoia... he really believes everyone is against him, everyone is out to get him, and people are jealous of him... and he acts on those beliefs... this type of paranoia is the first sign of paranoid schizophrenia, which usually begins for people in their early 20's... just adding a psychological perspective to the discussion... I would not be surprised if he is diagnosed with a severe mental disorder within the next few years... I'm also willing to acknowledge that we don't see everything on TV, but based on what I'm seeing, there is definitely some paranoia there.

Q on making the band needs to be sent home. He was having problems about home. He is the youngest and most disrepectful of the group. This is the best group since the Temptations and they need to do whatever necessary to be just that and better. He will end up bringing the group down.

I think Dawn is all at fault. She's at fault with Danity Kane and now she's manipulating Que. Just like how she manipulated Diddy. She's sooo obviously fake and Que is so obviously on drugs.

I'm baaack!! I couldn't wait for this recap. I withdraw my earlier diagnosis of Que as being bipolar. It's something more alarming. The more I see the show, the more I see how Dawn basically controls Que's actions and enables his behavior. What happened to DK is not happening with D26 (at least not yet), but Dawn is so hell bent on comparing the two groups. Butter's advice to Que was so touching and REAL. Fast forward to the highlights and Que is showing his ass AGAIN. Obviously, they are not breaking up, but I wish Will would beat his ass!!! I know that studio fight is going to prompt some action from Diddy. Again, GREAT RECAP!!!!!

Yes! I think I failed to say it in my recap, but I found Big Butter's speech to be very moving, too. Mostly because he never talks. So when he finally talked, everyone was sure to listen.
This whole season has centered around Que being nuts! Can you believe it?! He's a cash cow!

1 part paranoia + 1 part unemployed Dawn = Crazy Que.
My co-worker thinks Que is cracking under the pressure of having to support his family and Dawn if she remains without a group. Still as wild as Orange there is no DK without she and D Woods. I don't think any of the 5 has the start quality to be a solo artist.
Big Butter crying made me cry too.

Day 26 was on one of our morning radio stations here in Houston on Wednesday and I was SHOCKED because they aren't even played on the radio here. (They were actually in the studio and not calling in.) The DJs asked Que straight out what was the problem and asked if he was on drugs. He denied it, of course, but NONE of the guys wanted to talk about what the "real" problem was. They just said it was something small that unfortunately got filmed and made to LOOK LIKE a big deal. OF COURSE Que had the AUDACITY to blame the editing!!! Not to jump ahead, but there is a total of 4 weeks of this BS with Que (more next week and the next plus last week) so that is quite some editing. Que gave them enough bitchassness for FOUR EPISODES!

Bullshit, that was no damn editing. Que was fighting like for the whole season, how is all that editing? I hate when ppl blame the editing for all negative things they did on tv, u did all that stuff u cannot blame the show for all the show for showing ppl exactly what u did. They probably never going to tell us what really was the problem with Que and he's just going to say he was going through a lot of stuff dealing with his home life. I would actually respect them more if they said Que was on drugs on something and it would make more sense.

I think if Que wasn't on drugs then, he's definitely on them now for schizophrenia, biplolar disorder, anger-management, or somethin'!! Because he's out of control!!! Nobody wants to eff up the money so they'll do what they have to do. Que's own MOTHER could tell he is screwed up. He needs help.

OK ANYBODY CAN SEE THAT HE IS ON SOME TYPE OF DRUGS. I WOULD LOVE TO KNOW WHICH ONE. DAWN MAYBE ON DRUGS BECAUSE SHE SEEMS TO SUPPORT EVERYTHING HE DOES. IT WONT BE LONG BEFORE HE BEATS THE SH!T OUT OF HER. THEY SAY DAY 26 WAS ON 106 AND PARK AND QUE CLAIMED TO HAVE BROKEN UP WITH HER. IF ITS TRUE WAY TO GO DAWN BECAUSE THAT DUDE IS GOING DOWN FAST
