After taking a week off, Love & Hip Hop returns with an episode that takes a few twists and turns and includes an ample amount of fisticuffs in between. In light of Cisco and Rich Dollaz's beef over Mariah Lynn and past misdeed, Peter Gunz has set up a meeting to discuss the issues within their philandering brotherhood. Cisco decides to be the bigger man and apologizes, leading Rich to do the same, which officially marks the end of the Creep Squad rivalry.

Bianca, whose attitude has been leaving more of an impression on people than her music, is intent on impressing Yandy and earning a slot at Gwinin Fest XL. Yandy, who had her reservations about stepping in to commandeer Bianca's career, has taken notice of her improved attitude and work ethic and is fully on board to help manage her career. Bianca feels the backup dancers she has enlisted to be a part of her performance will enhance her set at Gwinin Fest XL and position her for success.

Cardi B's foray into music has been stalling and she wants DJ Self to be more involved in guiding her career and feels that he's been neglecting her. Self explains that he wants to see Cardi show more initiative and take the time to learn what it takes to be a credible artist and listen to the constructive criticism she's being given. Cardi appears to be less than receptive to Self's suggestions and says that until he gets her in the studio, she won't be doing any parties or favors for him.

Having been focused on their own grinds since their acrimonious split, Sexy Lexxy and Moe meet to catch up on the happenings in their career and life. Moe tells Lexxy about the studio session fiasco and Bianca getting mad over the beat and dousing her with juice. She also seems to be disgruntled with both her and Bianca having Yandy as a manager and suggests that BBOD could get back together, but Lexxy -- in light of her performance for French Montana -- is slow to jump at the idea.

Moe then confides in Lexxy about Def Jam's interest in BBOD as a package deal and that a few talent scouts will be in attendance at Gwinin Fest XL. Lexxy is open to the idea, but is apprehensive of impeding her own progress and tells Moe that she needs time to think on her decision

Rah Ali and Remy Ma meet up to go over the wedding plans and look at dresses. Remy informs Rah of her decision to make her mother a part of the wedding, but that one of Remy's sisters will not be a bridesmaid. Rah also reveals that she has managed to get the exact dress that Remy wanted and that it has arrived, proving that she's more than capable of coming through in the clutch.

Peter Gunz meets up with his daughter, who wants to speak about her disappointment with her father. She says that having multiple kids is affecting his relationship with other children and that he's set a bad example. Both parties get emotional. She says she believes that Peter is a good person and thinks that maybe he has a problem and should consider having a vasectomy so that he won't be able to have anymore kids.

Mendeecees is out to discuss his sneaker deal, which leaves Yandy to pick up his other son. She laments the struggle it is dealing with her man's other baby mamas, and he shows his appreciation for her patience and efforts.

Mariah Lynn and Cardi B meet up at the studio to catch up on things and listen to music. Mariah mentions her upcoming performance at Gwinin Fest XL, which makes Cardi feel a type of way, given her feelings of DJ Self's lack of dedication to her career. Cardi confides in Mariah about her man Tommy's lack of support for her career and has mixed emotions about going through with their jailhouse wedding. Mariah, who has been doing a little investigative work, also divulges info that Moe allegedly put out a order of protection against Bianca after one of their previous run-ins.

Gwinin Fest XL finally arrives and all of the parties are in the venue and enjoying themselves. Rah Ali happens to see a woman she previously had an altercation with hanging out with Yandy and immediately feels disrespected, given her assumption that Yandy was privy of their beef. Rah, thirsty for revenge, decides to attack the woman until security intervenes and escorts her from the premises.

Remy Ma, who was also in attendance and a mutual friend of both, checks on Yandy to see about the issue that started the drama. Yandy, who is visibly caught off guard, says that she was unaware of the spat between Rah and the woman and that her being there was a mere coincidence.

But the show proceeds without a hitch and Moe performs first, but surprises the crowd by bringing out Sexxy Lexxy to perform alongside her, marking the return of BBOD as a full unit. Mariah Lynn takes the stage next and runs through her set, but BBOD isn't impressed at all and scoffs at the Jersey spitter's bars. Bianca steps before the audience last and manages to even impress Moe, albeit with her also noting that Bianco was lip-syncing.

While awaiting the judges' decision as to who would take ultimately take home their bragging rights, Sexxy Lexxy and Mariah Lynn all meet backstage and Mariah decides to attempt to discredit Moe by revealing the order of protection she got against Bianca. Moe responds by attacking Mariah and happens to get the best of the battle. While Mariah attempts to get her bearings together, Lexxy and Moe both gloat about their impending victory at Gwinin Fest XL, as well as against their respective rivals, making the return of BBOD even more glorious.
