The Come Up

With this group of friends, more is more: bigger goals, crazier parties, deeper romances, it's impossible not to dream big when New York City is one's playground; for Ben, Claude, Ebon, Fernando, Sophia, and Taofeek, this is only the beginning.

Taofeek's career will never be the same after showing the world what he can do, in style; when Claude introduces Ben to her friends, he makes a surprising connection with one of them; Sophia chats with her sister about their mother's expectations.

Fernando and Ben reveal what happened behind closed doors the night before; Ebon plans the Ball of the Century and hopes to finally make her mark on New York City nightlife; Claude confesses she used the L word for Malcolm.

Ben tells jokes about kale on the main stage, Claude performs in an off-off Broadway play, and Sophia gets ready for her mother to possibly meet Malcolm for the first time.

Taofeek receives life-changing news; Ben brings his Texas friends to meet Fernando for the first time at Claude's 24th birthday party; Ebon remains single until taken; Claude sends a text she really shouldn't have.

Ebon and Starr have an absolutely perfect night, only to face brutal truths; pressure is on for Fernando to impress at a major fashion industry event; Taofeek has to keep his cool when Evan Mock offers the opportunity of a lifetime.
