It’s been two years since P-Valley final took us “down within the valley the place the women get bare,” and the women of Chucalissa, Miss., are STRUGGLING — similar to the remainder of us! The pandemic has even impacted the fictional metropolis, and in consequence, everybody’s favourite strip membership is closed. Within the meantime, Uncle Clifford has confirmed {that a} pandemic can’t cease her or Hailey, the brand new proprietor of The Pynk. The newly minted enterprise companions have launched Chucalisa residents to a brand new method of having fun with wings and ass shaking: a drive-through strip membership, correctly often known as P—yland.
As revolutionary of a enterprise mannequin as P—yland is, the women are nonetheless struggling financially. And Uncle Clifford’s mismanagement of the $250k that Hailey gave her to avoid wasting the membership just isn’t serving to. The membership additionally misplaced most of its prime dancers together with Gidget and Keyshawn. Gidget moved again residence after shedding her mother to COVID, and Keyshawn — effectively, after pulling a gun on Diamond, she is not welcomed amongst the women. With the success of Lil Murda’s single, she’s been fairly booked and busy, although.
With Hailey as the brand new HBIC, there’s pressure in her private relationships with Uncle Clifford and Mercedes; they each present little pursuits in answering to her. Moreover, Mercedes feels she deserves extra financial compensation than the opposite ladies. As quickly as Uncle Clifford and Hailey are about to argue once more about cash, the women’ loud cheers outdoors distract them: The lockdown is over! In fact this implies The Pynk will get to reopen, and there will probably be extra money to make. Earlier than the information soaks in, additionally they hear concerning the loss of life of Tydell Ruffin, the primary Black mayor of Chucalissa. The information leaves Hailey and Uncle Clifford questioning what his loss of life will imply for the town’s grand on line casino plans.
Again in Atlanta, Andre, the mayor’s godson, learns concerning the politician’s loss of life through a collection of textual content messages, together with one from his former mistress, Hailey. His spouse is worried about him touring to Chucalissa to attend the funeral; as a frontline employee, the pandemic has taken an emotional toll on her. The 2 reside in separate areas of their home, and she or he takes all the required COVID precautions attainable after which some. She asks that he present as much as the wake early and keep away from attending the funeral. He agrees, however when he arrives in Chucalissa, his plans shortly change.
In the meantime, the final time we noticed Mrs. Woodbine, she had stolen her daughter’s cash to buy a church. Quick-forward two years, and Mercedes’ momma has her church — and it comes with billboards. Due to the pandemic, service is outdoors, however enterprise appears like it’s booming.
Issues are going effectively for Lil Murda too — music-wise, that’s. Murda has been texting Uncle Clifford for the previous 5 months, however she hasn’t responded to any of his textual content messages. Although he’s not having luck in his love life, he’s been targeted on his music profession. It’s nearly exhausting for Lil Murda to imagine that the hood loves him. As an example: Whereas outdoors making a fast promote, when a automotive pulls up on him, the aspiring rapper is mechanically on protection. However the males within the automotive praise Murda on his music and drive off blasting his newest single. With the intentions of capitalizing off off the present recognition he and Keyshawn have constructed, Lil Murda and DJ Neva Scared work on his subsequent single. He proposes a tour to Keyshawn, however she shortly declines. Recently she has been capable of entertain 400,000+ followers from the consolation of her residence utilizing Instagram Reside. Her new setup retains Derrick joyful, too, since he has extra management over who she interacts with and her whereabouts. Utilizing the necessity for diapers as an excuse, Keyshawn finds a strategy to sneak out of the home to go and see Diamond. He’s unfazed by her tearful apology and finally turns her away from his retailer as a result of she doesn’t have a masks.
As soon as frenemies, Mercedes and Hailey at the moment are roommates, and their work drama follows them residence. After listening to Mercedes advocate for extra money, Hailey tells her she is going to get a share of the door when the membership reopens. This doesn’t absolutely fulfill Mercedes, however she accepts the provide. Issues take a left flip, nevertheless, when Hailey strikes forward with auditioning new ladies regardless of Mercedes’ not agreeing with the plan. Because the Beyonce of the membership, Mercedes is threatened by new vitality and has but to appreciate what the shedding Keyshawn and Gidget has meant for The Pynk. We additionally be taught that, with Hailey’s assist, Mercedes was capable of save her health club. However the pandemic has precipitated a brand new set of issues for her. Among the ladies’ dad and mom can’t afford the membership, and the others are anxious about whether or not it’s protected or to not return to observe.
Finally, the previous Mayor is laid to relaxation within the Blackest, most southern method attainable — vivid colours; fancy outfits; lengthy, trustworthy speeches; and a repast menu of us are prepared to die over. Although Uncle Clifford misses the service, she makes her method over, dressed to the nines, to the Ruffins’ household residence to get a style of some well-known chitlins made by Mookie, Tydell’s third child momma. Whereas there, she runs into Andre and Wayne Kyle, the brand new interim mayor. Kyle shares that he plans on going by way of with the mayor’s needs for a on line casino in Chucalissa. In a teasing (however truly critical method), Uncle Clifford threatens to run in opposition to the younger millionaire.
We then discover out that Lil Murda’s tour is, in truth on, and that the “Soiled Dozen Tour” will hit 12 cities in 12 nights and can function Lil Murda and Keyshawn. Seems to be like P-Valley Season 2 is about to provide us an epic tour — and hopefully an equally epic mayoral run.
