Yaz is dreading her 36th birthday; she’s anything but happy. An unrequited love life, unmet personal and professional goals, topped off by an unwanted surprise birthday party lead to a public meltdown.

Mat and Sanct get called to a new crime scene and find the victim wearing a Humphrey Bogart mask.

Glamour girl and influencer Princess Charles - and not Yaz - gets the open spot on D-1’s “The Brunch Crew,” much to Yaz’s frustration. Yaz asks Shawn to pick up his belongings from her place, and flirts with a handsome fellow in church, where her tough-loving mother Marilyn is giving a guest sermon.

It’s the annual family get-together. Yaz’s father Raymond is in town, causing his new girlfriend Cassandra and ex-wife Marilyn to face off. Shawn surprises Yaz. Dexter bonds with co-worker Brandi, while Jamila grapples with unexpected news. When a new love interest rejects Yaz’s advances, she risks backsliding romantically.
