![]() Tricks & Dollar Bill (the club's owner) come to check on her (w/hilarious commentary from Lil Man, the doorman) until the police arrive to take Ronnie & Tricks into custody for their involvement in Ebony's rape. After a back & forth, they begin a brutal catfight, in which Diamond prevails over the larger Ronnie, leaving her bloodied & knocked out. Diamond & Blue arrive, clear out the dressing room, & Diamond instructs him to guard the door while she confronts Ronnie. In the meantime, Ronnie makes it to the club w/intentions of lying & saying that it was her alibi all night. & her love interest, hesitantly comes to check on Ebony & breaks down at the sight of her abandoned & abused cousin, telling Blue to call for help. Ronnie comes back to see the party ending, checks on Ebony & flips out at her unconscious naked body. Junior goes in the back, turns off the lights, & proceeds to rape & brutally assault Ebony the sounds of which cause the party to empty out. ![]() ![]() One of the party guests, Reggie (who earlier tried to pick up Ebony for a train w/his friend Clyde) convinces Junior to go in the back & seduce Ebony while Clyde took Ronnie outside to smoke weed.
