Opens with Mary Jane waking up at home and Niecy is making breakfast. They argue. MJ calls her brother, Patrick, to motivate him to get Niecy back on track. Next MJ goes on a stake out doing research for a story about human sex trafficking. When back at the station, she gives a tour to several luckier young women. Kara shows up to arrange an interview with a girl named Polly. MJ pawns off the tour on Kara, so she can go pose as Mark's fiancé instead of his boyfriend, Eric. Mark and Eric argue about it before Mark's parents arrive, and Eric leaves angry and disappointed. Kara has a drink with, Gael, a parent of one of the girls who was on the station tour. MJ and Mark pose as the super happy engaged couple for Mark's parents, who discover the truth about their son. MJ interviews a fifteen year old young woman named Polly at a fast food restaurant, but the interview gets cut short by the pimp. Mark and MJ talk about the repercussions from their meeting with his parents. The show closes with MJ calling Niecy and then going to have a drink with Mark afterwards.
What I liked best: The contrast between the young women who tour SNC and the young women who are trafficked. This made me pause and think about happened in their lives that lead to such extreme outcomes. Honorable mention: Mark's mother's and father's dialogue with their son at the dinner party.
