Junior makes his way over to Poppa’s House, lugging a box filled with what he would call treasures he picked up at a flea market. Let's calm down Junior, you do not want to be labeled a hoarder. Why was he at the flea market? He’s convinced he found some re-sellable items and hoping the profits will help fund his new film project. He may be right as he snags a Billie Holiday vinyl record. Poppa spots its value right away but decides to scam Junior, ultimately buying it for $100, even though he and the audience knows it’s worth a lot more.
Junior doesn’t even know who Billie Holiday is, which is pretty shocking given that he’s in his thirties. Meanwhile, Ivy tells Nina that she’s finally finished her latest book. Nina is thrilled and Ivy asks her to read the manuscript before she sends it off to her publisher. Nina has her reservations, worried that being honest might put a strain on their friendship. Ivy reassures her that she needs the truth. At dinner, Junior can’t help but brag about how he outsmarted Poppa with the sale of the Billie Holiday record. Poppa, always ready to tease, brings in an expert he consulted to evaluate the record.
The expert reveals that the album is worth around $20,000, it’s an authentic, autographed copy. Junior is, of course, completely taken aback. Eventually, Nina gives Ivy her honest feedback, the book isn’t great, calling it a rehash of Ivy’s earlier work. Ivy has a hard time accepting the critique and storms out, giving Nina a chance to rethink her words. But Nina stands her ground, and Ivy leaves feeling upset. Junior, frustrated that Poppa won’t share the potential profits from the album, is tempted when Poppa challenges him to sue.
They end up on a televised courtroom show called "Judge Say What," hosted by Judge Say What herself, played by Vivica Fox. She flirts with Poppa and puts on an over-the-top Judge Judy impression. The humor doesn’t quite hit the mark, and the audience chanting "Say what!" feels a bit forced. In the end, Junior loses the case, and Judge Say What, who has been openly flirting with Poppa throughout the trial, shamelessly hands him her card.
The episode concludes on a heartwarming note that viewers have come to expect and love from "Poppa’s House."
