Vernon apologized to Anita for not telling her about the situation with Kenneth. He said he thought he had the situation under control. When Vernon told Anita that Kenneth targeted Tyrell and Samantha, she was furious. Anita was thankful that Kenneth didn’t make good on his threats to hurt them. While they were talking, Anita accused Vernon of being behind Kenneth’s hit. Vernon denied having anything to do with the hit. He said he should have never let Bill and Joey handle the situation. Vernon said he didn’t want to burden Anita with the things that were going on because he thought it would affect the Articulettes’ reunion. Anita said they ruined that on their own.
