The show’s first season wraps up on Thursday night, and Et has your exclusive first look at all the drama that goes down. Lola Monroe invites the group to her mixtape listening party, but before the event she sits down with Crystal Smith in hopes of getting her to leave her issues with Asiah Collins at the door.
