At a diversity mixer, Kwabena and Amy meet Timothy Eastly, a prominent (and very white) industry exec, famed for producing successful films and TV shows...with black talent. Kwabena lays on the charm - enough to get Timothy to read his script and to consider him for a writing gig.

Meanwhile, Amy continues to struggle with microaggressions at work and Maurice carries on excessively worrying. He thinks they should go vegan for the health of the baby, but Funmi has other ideas.

Funmi's due date is fast approaching, meaning Kwabena is desperately trying to find somewhere new to live - but given his financial situation and the housing crisis in London, it's proving difficult.

When Funmi goes into labour, a nervous Maurice is more on edge than ever. Doctors at the hospital refuse to take Funmi's concerns seriously, and her life may well soon hang in the balance.

At home, Kwabena's aunt, Stephanie, is worried about her son Dorvin - a cheeky, aspiring rapper who has fallen in with the wrong crowd. Stephanie asks Kwabena to pass on Dorvin's CV to his old recruitment colleagues in the hope of keeping him out of trouble. Kwabena promises to help.

With everything going on, Kwabena is forced to reconsider his priorities and realises just how important Vanessa is to him. Is it too late for him to confess his true feelings?

High school sweethearts and married couple, Daphne Reckert and Ian Figueira, will abandon their plans of living in a California tiny home when Daphne inherits her late grandfather's 500-year-old chateau on a 130-acre estate just outside of Paris, France.
