Episode Synopsis
“End or Evolve?” Not every friendship is built to last, but how do you know when it’s time to walk away?

“I don't associate myself with drama. And I feel like that is a deal breaker, because you can cause me to lose everything that I have worked hard for, and I don't want that to go down the drain, because I put in blood, sweat, and tears into becoming who I am today.”
“It's easy to walk away, but if it was somebody that was a good friend, and y'all got into a disagreement amongst each other, and things escalated, that's different.”
