The Come Up

With this group of friends, more is more -- bigger goals, crazier parties, deeper romances -- it's impossible not to dream big when New York City is one's playground; for Ben, Claude, Ebon, Fernando, Sophia and Taofeek, this is only the beginning.

Taofeek's career will never be the same after showing the world what he can do, in style; when Claude introduces Ben to her friends, he makes a surprising connection with one of them; Sophia chats with her sister about their mother's expectations.

Fernando and Ben reveal what happened behind closed doors the night before; Ebon plans the Ball of the Century and hopes to finally make her mark on New York City nightlife; Claude confesses she used the L word for Malcolm.

Claude stars in an off-off Broadway play and her mom might meet Malcolm for the first time; Ben's kale jokes hit the main stage; Sophia faces the countdown to a college decision.

Taofeek receives life-changing news; Ben brings his Texas friends to meet Fernando for the first time at Claude's 24th birthday party; Ebon remains single until taken; Claude sends a text she really shouldn't have.

Ebon and Starr have an absolutely perfect night, only to face brutal truths; pressure is on for Fernando to impress at a major fashion industry event; Taofeek has to keep his cool when Evan Mock offers the opportunity of a lifetime.
