She is convinced that a Jamaican man is the key to her success, so she sets off to a Jamaican restaurant to find her man. Meanwhile, Lynn is struggling with her career after being fired from her job as a backup singer and is considering moving back to Sacramento.
When the girls arrive at the Jamaican restaurant, Maya immediately sets her sights on the owner, Rastaman, who she believes is the perfect man to bring to Joan's event. However, her attempts to woo him are met with resistance, as Rastaman is not interested in being a mere trophy for Maya's event.
