Teddy and Puma make two shocking eliminations, Rok and Krystal make it official, and the teaser for next week’s season finale hints at some major drama.
Draya Thinks AMH & Jahnova Were Mean Girls Last Week
After last week’s drama, the newbies are chilling with the OGs Alex and Draya before the big pop-up tattoo event. Playing a game of Truth or Dare, Draya reveals that she didn’t like Miracle’s piercing from last week, but Liza appreciates Mircale’s effort and taking the initiative.
Jahnova admits she was doing too much and said it was nothing personal with Liza. Draya sides with Liza and says that both AMH and Jahnova were bullying Liza, and of course, AMH strongly disagrees.
Alex steps in and tells everyone to get over themselves and focus on the competition because that is the most important thing. Speaking of Alex, he links up with his son to spend some quality time with him. Alex’s baby’s mother and their son moved to Atlanta 3 years ago.
He’s dead set on being a better role model to his child.
Rok & Krystal Speed Things Up
After Rok said yes to Krystal and broke the news to his momma, who was a bit worried her son was about to get himself trapped in a toxic situation, the couple decided to bring their momma’s to bring even more news to rattle them.
While at dinner, Rok and Krystal surprise their moms by revealing their wedding date is already set, the whole ceremony is going down the following day, and they hope their moms will be in attendance.
They both had their worries but eventually came around to showing up at the wedding to support Rok and Krystal.
At the small wedding ceremony, Rok and Krystal said I do, finally becoming a married couple. We shall see how long this lasts.
It’s Time For Another Black Ink Crew Event
It’s time for the pop-up event, and before things get started, Puma pulls Liza and AMH to the side to talk about what happened last week.
Puma calls out AMH for being a bully for how she treated Liza and Miracle for how they do things, basically telling her that it’s not her place. During her confessional, AMH says she stands by what she said.
The pop-up shop starts, and everyone is working hard and making a good impression on Teddy and Puma, but a mistake does happen.
Miya Bailey notices Santana misspelled the client’s tattoo, and he gives her some advice for the next time so that it doesn’t happen again. He brings up the mistake when Puma and Teddy ask him if he had to decide who he would cut.
While Santana’s error stood out, Bailey also pointed out that “hungry” artists like Santana are usually the most loyal and willing to put in the work and eventually become successful artists, even after making mistakes, and Puma agrees.
It’s Time To Make Some More Cuts
Puma and Teddy show up at the Atlanta spot, and they break down everyone’s performance during the event. They tell the newbies when they cut the ribbon on the new shop. They want people with as much experience as possible, and they feel Liz will not meet that expectation, so they send her home.
During her confessional, Liz says she disagrees with their decision and is heartbroken.
Puma and Teddy are not down, Puma reveals they will eliminate one more person, and as much as he likes AMH, he tells her that she will be going home as well, shocking the entire crew.
During her confessional, AMH thinks Puma is wrong, stands by everything she says, and does not feel she is being a bully.
Welp, so long.
Next week, the drama looks like it’s finally hitting another level when Spyder resurfaces, and it looks like Ceaser will appear.

Puma and Teddy continue carrying the Black Ink torch without Ceaser and have narrowed the search for their new artists. The old artists are busy fraternizing with each other, and that could lead to some issues.
And Then There Were Eight
Last week, Puma and Teddy held a “mixer” to meet a gang of potential artists they could bring into the Black Ink brand when they move into their new shop.
This week’s episode opens up with Puma and Teddy going over their potential new artists, and after some discussions, the Black Ink OGs settle on eight of those artists to fill the booths at the new location they have not gotten yet.
Even after locking in the eight artists, there is still some doubt about the mission, and Puma links up with FUBU founder and successful entrepreneur and Shark Tank creator Daymond John. He preaches to Puma that Black Ink is more than just tattoos; it’s a brand, a much bigger movement. John also says that Puma and Teddy must continue to have a firm hold on the Black tattoo culture.
After talking with John, Puma realizes what he must do and decides to book a nice mansion to house the eight artists, where they will put to the tests to see if they are worthy of repping the Black Ink brand. If not, they will be sent home swiftly.
Finding new artists won’t be the only issue. There is still that lingering of Teddy’s criminal record hanging over his head, which he learns will take about 6-8 months to get rid of, which could impact him putting his name down on the new shop’s lease.
Nychelle Is Not Here For Alex’s Games
No longer dealing with Big Mama and becoming a proud amateur porn star, aka OnlyFans creator, Alex has sites on arguably the best-looking Black Ink Crew NYC cast member, Nychelle.
For plot lines sake, we are tolerating this, and Alex, for whatever reason, is playing games with Nychelle, and she is not here for it. Nychelle is all about her business and wants to be successful for herself and her son, and Alex seems to be playing games.
Nychelle is confused because Alex did many things, like come to Houston to see and spend time with her, but his recent behavior at the mixer says otherwise regarding his intentions with her.
Alex is fresh out of his three-year relationship with Donna and is not ready to get into another relationship, and basically wants his cake and ice cream when it comes to Nychelle, but he doesn’t want a relationship.
After a sushi date, Nychelle and Alex further prove they are not on the same page. Alex is not here for Nychelle’s “jealousy,” and Nychelle is not feeling the games Alex is playing.
Alex’s feelings change when he sees Nychelle interacting with other men during a speed dating event he put together for Rok. He tells his coworker he likes her a lot, and the two leave together.

Last week it was Ceaser doing the firing. In the season 10 finale of Black Ink Crew, the tattoo shop mogul gets the axe, and his team wonders if this is the show’s end.
Young Bae Makes Peace With Krystal
After they got the boot last week, Young Bae decided to take herself to Gods of Ink tattoo shop on a goodwill mission. Bae feels awful for being why she, Krystal, Vanity, and Tatti got fired.
Krystal is initially hesitant, but she decides to hear what Bae says. After a conversation ironically over some drinks, Krystal accepts Bae’s apology.
Later in the episode, Krystal tells Rok about the moment and how the situation played out. Rok tells Krystal he is on her side and can no longer see himself working at Black Ink if she is not there.
Ceaser Gets The Boot
It took some time and numerous boring episodes, but we have finally reached the moment we all knew was coming. Cesser’s shenanigans finally caught up with him.
After doing all of the preaching about not messing up the brand and his legacy, Ceaser was the one who did it, well, at least his television show.
The first to see the video are Nychelle (with her fine self), Draya, and Tatti, who found herself a bartending gig after Ceaser fired her.
All other Black Ink members received a well-timed alert with cameras ready to capture their response after watching a video of Ceaser assaulting a dog.
Everyone is appalled at what they witnessed and is called into VH1 offices for a meeting to discuss the show’s future. A producer on the show who has gotten a lot of screen time this season breaks the news to them that Ceaser was fired, and the episode they are filming will be the final one of the season.
She also tearfully says she has no idea if the show will continue beyond the point, leaving the remaining cast members wondering what the hell they will do now.
Will There Be A Black Ink Crew After Ceaser?
With the idea of them having to find actual work to do, especially Teddy, cause that man has done a damn thing for ten seasons, everyone wonders if the show will go on without Ceaser?
Tatti believes it’s a wrap. Draya found the video too disturbing and wants no part of Ceaser’s empire.
Puma and Teddy don’t want the show to die and even contemplate taking matters into their own hands by possibly opening up their own shop.
But for right now, it looks like it’s a wrap for Black Ink Crew.
