Plot[]
Tariq tells Tasha, even if Dre is dead, he has a plan and he walks off. Unwilling to let it fall through, Tasha makes an anonymous tip to the cops. Tasha then goes to see Quinton and have sex. After the encounter, the police broke in with Quinton confused while Tasha is revealed to have implicated him. Quinton asks for warrant and has it thrown in his face. The cops search the house and locate a gun, as he is arrested for the murder of James St. Patrick. This surprises Quinton who locks eyes with Tasha and realized she set him up, as Quinton begged her to explain while the guilty Tasha couldn't speak and watched him be taken away.
The next day, Tariq is eating breakfast with his mother who reminds him of getting ready for his first day of college. She soon states his grandmother and sister should be coming before they hear a knock. However, it is Blanca who tells Tasha that Quinton was questioned but stated he had an alibi of going to a diner to prove he was innocent by mentioning the diner and how Tasha asked for a ride, revealing her guilt. Blanca then has Tasha arrested for the crime of killing her husband, as Tariq protests but is held back. Still wanting to protect him, Tasha tells her son to go to school and live his life.
In the final scenes, Tasha gets ready to go to prison while Tariq starts his college life.
