Crying, Brian leaves the abandoned parking lot. He tells us that he walked the streets for hours, reflecting on the situation. And we get to see clips of it played out as though we hadn't JUST watched it. Thanks for the filler, MTV. It might actually be helpful if I had short-term memory loss. Brian comes home late, and the only person awake is Big Butter. But then Que and Dawn file past them silently, get on the elevator, and leave. AND I AM LEFT WONDERING: How is Dawn supporting Que's actions right now!? I mean, seriously!? Talk about having a complete and utterly skewed reality of things. Doesn't she wonder why Que is so enraged? Or spends so much time in the bathroom? Or sniffs so much? Or has white powder in his hair? And track marks between his toes? HELLO, EARTH TO DAWN!
Early the next day, it's snowing. And Brillo wants to know what happened. Brian confirms that they swung at each other in the studio. Then Robert, Big Butter and Will gather to talk it out. Will says that no one is able to figure out what just happened. Big Butter says that Que knows how to mess with Brian's mind to piss him off. But they were both wrong. Will says that when a situation is boiling, it doesn't take much to make it explode. Yep, someone added a little vinegar to the baking soda-filled volcano inside Brian's little head.
In a random van that is headed toward Destination Who Knows?, Brian tells Brillo that he handled the situation wrong. But that something has changed with Que, and no one understands. He's not Que anymore. Brillo says he's noticed the change, but what is it? Hmm...I dunno...what oh what could it be....? DRUGS, YOU DUMBASS! Brian says part of the problem is that Que won't let things go. He holds onto stuff forever. It's out of control. And it hurts. He wipes back a single tear. The camera pans in to his face. We stay here forever....sharing Brian's pain....
The next morning, it's a new day in New York. The golden sun is shining. People are jogging through the streets to start the day off right. And it's time for the guys to head back to the studio. But Que is still in bed. Robert says he obviously doesn't want to come, so they leave without him. Brian tells everyone that Diddy is going to get tired of the crap, and it won't hurt him at all to let them go. Robert says that it's always something with Que. The cab driver, men on the street, Will or Brian. Will says that Que isn't Que. Or even a human being. He's more like an alien. Almost like E.T. But without the Reese's Pieces, homesickness, or innate ability to love.
The guys arrive at the studio and start working. And because Que isn't there, they don't know what to do with his parts. So they start divvying them up. Brian says that Day26 isn't Day26 without all of them there. No one can seem to hit Que's notes. Brian is trying to fill in Que's part, but can't sing that high. This surprises me because Brian speaks in an octave that I can barely hear. I would naturally assume that he could sing as high as Que. But, then again, who can sing notes that are in alien?
Later, the guys are back in the apartment eating Doritos and microwaving frozen pizza, and Brian is venting to Robert about Que messing them up. Robert says that if Que needs to separate himself, then whatever. Brian says that he loves Que but doesn't like him anymore. Brian says it will never ever be the same. They will never be close again. Harsh. Tragic. REAL.
Brian says that at least Danity Kane had a reason for breaking up. But with Day26, they don't know what's going on or where Que's issues are coming from. (Drugs) Robert says he feels like they have no control. (Drugs) Brian says that Que has become separate from Day26. (Drugs)

Luv ya MandaMo, I think your the only 1 who actually does recaps of this show. Hate to break it to ya, but Que is in fact still in the group. Their new video "Imma Put on Her" just aired like a week ago & Que's in it. I wish someone would "Put a Ass Whipping" on Que - Will, I'm talking 2 u!!!
Maybe Dawn's not supporting Que's behavior but she really isn't saying anything about it. It seems like she's just letting Que do all this shit and then next week she's telling Que to fight to stay in the group. Dawn, how about u tell Que to stop taking drugs & stop fighting all ur group members & fighting ur manager. Only Que would pick fights with his manager.
I'm guessing all of Que's issues(drugs) is resolved by now and of course their never going to say it was because of drugs, their just going to blame it on Que's homelife. I'm anxious to see what's going to happen with Danity Kane, although probably nothing.

Even with all the drama and fights this show manages to bore me to tears. Let's face it, they are not the Temptations or Boyz II Men. They will be lucky to get one more CD out of P-Shitty and I would be shocked if Bad Boy has a 401K plan with a 6% match. Might I suggest they all quit the group and got to a technical school where they can learn a trade

Okay, this comment has absolutely nothing to do with the recap, but I just wanted to say: Every time I read "Que" I think "que" (as in "what" in Spanish) and I have to catch myself b/c the sentence doesn't make sense. This happens to me every time! Why don't they just call him "Q"? His name doesn't even have a "u" in it....sorry for the ramble, back to reading the recap!

HAAAAAAAAAAAAA! This recap was sooo funny!
1) I never knew what the DMC stood for in Run DMC! Thank you!
2) I TOTALLY thought of the SNL skit when Que was yelling "FIX IT!" And what's with him threatening to FIRE Joe Chuck! "You were HIRED!" RUDE! Nobody called him out, but then, what would have been the point. He would have just accused them of being jealous of his unilateral power to fire management.
3) I too wonder how Dawn supports his bipolar behavior. She's the one whispering in his ear telling him to fight for his dream all the time. Maybe, in his mind, this is what he's doing?! She must really also believe that the others are against Que. I think she's bringing in her own issues and projecting them onto Que. She's like Yoko Ono #2!

Last one! Promise! I forgot to say I LAUGHED OUT LOUD at Robert's bizarre declaration, "WE AIN'T DANITY KANE YOU BITCH*SS MOTHERF*CKERS!" That was just so unexpectedly random. HILARIOUS! They are really afraid of the curse!

Spoiler Alert:
MandaMo, P Shitty's punishment wasn't very severe. This week, he put Que in....gasp...time out.
REALLY. He really said Que needed a "time out". I have no words.

thatswhatshesaid, lol about his name. Yeah I don't know why they spell out his name "Que" instead of just "Q" - It wouldn't make a difference cause that's not real name anyway but why does it have to be Que, I don't get it - That's adding to the list of things about Que I don't get.
sororsalsa, yeah that timeout was bs. All Que gets is a timeout - the dude has been messing up the group for like weeks now and that's all he gets. If that was "Orangebrey" Diddy would've been ready to whip some ass.

Howdy All! Great recap Mandy Mo. I'm just shaking my head. There are a couple of things that I would LOVE to see happen:
1. Que gets his ass kicked.
2. He gets put out of the group.
3. Dawn disappears.
I hope the last couple of episodes don't hurt their records sales. I understand the business side of it where often a "scandal" of some sort happens right before a release. That mentality does have another side - it could turn people off and they not by the record.
I will buy the cd next week. I loved all of the demo songs (although some didn't make the cut). Did anyone notice the track listing that had a song entitled "Bipolar"? HAPPY EASTER TO ALL!!!!

Yeah, I saw the whole "time out" thing. LAME! I'll try to recap it this weekend and actually get it up early for once!
Love you all and all your comments!!
