The Season One finale!

It's hot AF outside and inside too because the AC broke down in The Complex. Temperatures, and tempers, are flaring! And when a musty tenant rubs Cici and Funks the wrong way, they have a few choice words for her. But what they don't know is that there's a new law on the books that protects people like this and now the girls, and the entire building are in danger of losing it all!

The most biggest Afrobeats concert in the world has come to town! But Cici and Funks didn't get tickets on time so they're hoping to win some. Somehow, arriving early for their chance scores them some backstage VIP access... but at what cost?

Mr. Callahan is being... nice to Cici and Funks? Ah, of course, he wants them to accompany him to a new southern-style restaurant in a rough part of DC. But when Funks makes a special request to the waiter... let's just say it's a battle of who has the better taste in food.

Dang! The Complex is losing money and needs some new marketing to attract new tenants! And no new tenants means Mr. Callahan will have to sell the building to a greedy businesswoman and Cici and Funks will have to go find employment (and housing) elsewhere. Maybe a viral dance video would help! But wait, Funks can't dance!

Oh lawd... maybe Mr. Callahan's annoying son can help out.
