Recap

Ralph Angel talks to Charley on the phone. She's on her campaign bus and asks Ralph Angel to handle the insurance adjustor still dealing with the fire damage at the mill from two years ago.
Since they've lost Parthena's land, the Co-op is in the red again. Darla thinks they should ask Charley if she'll put the mill into the co-op since she was considering divesting her holdings, which would help the community.
Feeling guilty, Micah tries to delete the NFT of his mother but discovers he can't. He shows Nova, and she tells him he's auctioning off the worst day of his parents' lives. Micah asks Zane to take the post down, but he won't. This NFT is the highest sale in Ivory's history, and someone wants to commission all of Micah's future work. Micah ends up celebrating with the crew at Ivory.
Later, as Davis texts Micah, telling him Charley is devastated and he needs to call them, Micah turns off his phone and enjoys a limo ride to a private jet that will take him to meet his new benefactor.
Violet warns Hollywood not to get too attached to Dante and Joaquin as their father could come back anytime. Hollywood says he hopes he does, but the system is broken, and they could just as likely have the kids for quite some time.
The social worker tells Hollywood and Violet that their application to foster the boys has been denied because, by law, foster children can't live with an ex-felon. When Joaquin overhears, he plans to run off with his brother so they won't get separated in the foster care system. But Hollywood helps Darla and Ralph Angel rent a new place to live so the boys can stay with him and Vi.
Billie sent Vince home, and now she's spinning out, wondering if she made the right choice. Nova invites her to move in. That way, she'll have a friend to talk to, and Prosper and Sandy can have time alone. Billie accepts. The two go out for drinks, and Billie reminds Nova of her first love, Camille.
Chase calls Darla to threaten her about telling Jordan what they did wasn't consensual. He's angry because he considers himself a family man, and he's running for Congress. Darla tells him not to call her ever again. Nova asks the family about making Blessings and Blood into a movie. Vi says the book caused a lot of pain but ended up bringing about healing. Plus, she likes that Oprah is interested in playing her. Nova says they would all share the profits since it is their story.
Darla says no. That book caused her to relapse. The last thing she ever wants are actors portraying her assault and her children to watch it on screen. Darla breaks down, saying she needs the past to stay in the past.
Later, Chase calls Darla again, saying he's read Blessings and Blood and won't let some "crackhead slut” ruin his life.
