In the first episode of a two-part story, Whitley (Jasmine Guy) is more on edge than usual just before her engagement party. When her tensions and frustrations reach the spillover point, Whitley lashes out at her fiance Dwayne (Kadeem Hardison)--who, not unexpectedly, begins having second thoughts about the wedding. Elsewhere, Freddie (Cree Summer) inaugurates a romance with Shazza (Gary Dourdan) upon his return from Africa--much to the dismay of Kim (Charnele Brown), who is unconvinced that Shazza has changed his ways. ~ Hal Erickson, Rovi
