==Plot==
In the gripping sixth season premiere episode, viewers are thrust into a year has elapsed since Caprice, Ella, and Ava settled into their new home at Golfview Apartments. 
Upon discovering the threat, Ava takes the situation very seriously. She acknowledges that the threat is now grounds for non-renewal of the lease at Golfview Apartments by Ava herself. Ava, along with George, Lorri, and Rachelle, decides to screen and confront the violators for jeopardizing the safety and welfare of the tenant. They also plan to take the matter further, indicating a possible investigation or legal action. Ava recognizes the seriousness of the threat and considers it a terroristic threat, at best; believing the threat is a valid reason for non-renewal of the lease at Golfview Apartments.
They also express the need to take the matter further, indicating possible investigation or legal action.
===Part 1===
Ava, determined and relentless, teams up with her security guards George, Rachelle, Lorri, and Karla to unravel the truth behind the apartment complex in general and unaware of the complex’s ban on outdoor security cameras. This prohibition sets off a series of conflicts with the management throughout the season, leaving Ava burdened by ceaseless demands on her precious free time and eventually goes off (which happens later in the season). Ava's mounting pressure ultimately forces her to consider a drastic alternative: not renewing her lease at Golfview Apartments.
Meanwhile, George, Rachelle, Rachael, and Karly form a persuasive alliance, convincing Ava that her best course of action lies in not renewing her lease at Golfview Apartments and going someplace else that is not only willing to work with Ava, but also allows security cameras inside and out. The conversation gains weight when George intercepts a menacing letter, effectively sealing Ava’s fate. Afterwards, Ava drinks heavily as the weight of frustration heavy on her shoulders. 
The security cameras, once her silent sentinels, now faced an unjust fate—ordered to be dismantled. She voiced her discontent to Karly and Rachael, their sympathetic ears absorbing her grievances. But it wasn’t just about the cameras. It was about safety, about reclaiming a sense of control. Ava had grown accustomed to their watchful gaze, their digital eyes scanning for any hint of danger. Now, stripped of that security, she felt exposed, vulnerable. The ban on outdoor cameras is more than an inconvenience; it was a breach of trust. Ava’s determination flared—a fire fueled by injustice. 
In a subplot, Perla Nieto, the warm-hearted Kroger employee who had welcomed her to Fort Wayne in 2018 when Ava paid a visit, was killed in a stabbing by a disgruntled customer. Perla’s tragic end is echoed in Ava’s mind. Now that the absence of outdoor surveillance cameras gnawing at Ava—what if she faced a similar threat?
Caprice and Ella couldn’t comprehend the gravity of the situation as they frolicked, their world bounded by playful bounds. They know that Ava desires for normalcy—the kind she, Caprice and Ella once had at Black Pine Flats, before Golfview Apartments became her battleground.
Meanwhile, Ava's eldest grandchild, Alisan, pays a visit to Elisa Everman’s home as Elisa’s words echoed Ava’s inner turmoil. 
===Part 2===
Part 2 of the episode begins as a new security guard Ava hired, which turns out to be Karla Atkins (the father of Jenna and maternal grandfather of Alisan, Pia, and Christina), caught a possible illegal tow that Andi alerts Karla to. The situation involves an illegal tow, which appears to be close to handicapped parking spots. George observes that it seems to be a car repossession, as he acknowledges Karla’s performance on her first day.
Ava confirms that she’s not renewing her lease at Golfview Apartments and emphasizes that this decision is final. Ella questions the legality of not having a specific new location. The tension and uncertainty surrounding Ava’s decision create intrigue, leaving the audience wondering about the next steps. She finds the situations too much to handle.
Ava expresses disappointment with the management, stating that their actions do not meet her expectations, despite some improvements, Ava remains resolute in her decision. Ava plans for this change to take place in June and taking proactive steps to prepare for the transition. Caprice sighs and expresses her own feelings about the situation and uses strong language to express her eagerness for this situation to be over. Ella questions Ava about where they’ll be moving to. Ava reveals that she has narrowed down the options to Time Corners Crossing and Preston Pointe at the Inverness. Ava reprimands Ella for using a racist slur to describe Carolyn. Ava emphasizes that such language is not tolerated as expresses her disapproval of Ella’s behavior and decides that Ella won’t receive any wet food as a consequence. Caprice comments on how everyone in the household and the Zinn family are treated. Ava advises Caprice and Ella not to use offensive language as Sierra, Lyssa, Alisan, Michael II, Leah, Pia, and Christina are in the room. Caprice suggests that someone should intervene to address the situation. Ava playfully encourages Caprice to take action, which Caprice reacts with such surprise.
After being accepted for admission at Purdue University Fort Wayne, Ava recalls a few years ago as a student at Ivy Tech Community College Fort Wayne that she will be away from Noon to 7:00 p.m. on Mondays and Wednesdays due to the class schedule. Ella expresses surprise and disapproval while Caprice finds it unfair and disagrees with Ava’s schedule.
Ella emphasizes that Ava is often absent when they need her, and Caprice echoes this sentiment. Ava acknowledges their concerns and assures them that she’s doing her best given the circumstances. The dialogue highlights the challenges Ava faces in balancing her responsibilities (with her career and studies at Purdue University Fort Wayne) and personal life.
Ava mentions that she was recommended nicotine pouches and explains that a couple of years ago (as part of an assignment at IvyTech Fort Wayne), she produced an investigation about Fort Wayne’s smoking ban that took place in 2007. Caprice growls in response to Ava’s explanation of being absent and Ava addresses Caprice and tries to calm her down. Caprice threatens to puff her tail (a humorous expression) while at the same time, uses strong language and expresses frustration. Ava reassures Caprice that everything will be okay and emphasizes that Caprice should stop freaking out as the overall tension adds to the dynamics of the scene. 
In Caprice's Diary entry, Caprice notes that Ava has been away a lot due to her classes at Purdue University Fort Wayne. She expresses frustration about Ava’s absence. She also discusses Ava’s decision not to renew her lease at Golfview Apartments. She agrees with Ava’s decision, citing the poor treatment Ava received from certain individuals and uses strong language to express her feelings. She threatens to retaliate against those causing Ava difficulties. This diary entry provides a unique perspective on the events unfolding in Ava’s life from Caprice’s point of view. It highlights the bond between Ava and Caprice and their shared experiences.
===Part 3===
The third part of the episode begins as a sudden turn of events causing panic and fear among the characters, leading to an emergency situation. George mentions that body cameras provided by Ava have been a useful tool and hears that Ava is planning to get one herself.
Suddenly, there’s a moment of shock and panic amidst the indistinct chatter filled with panic and fear, Rachelle expresses that the situation is bad. George decides to alert Ava about the situation as Karla and Andi discuss Ava’s communication tools needed to be used while George sends Ava a text message alerting her of an emergency near her home, but gets an automatic text from Ava that she has "Driving Mode" on. George expresses frustration, and Karla reminds him that Ava is in class at Purdue Fort Wayne and should not be disturbed during her first week. George acknowledges that he forgot about Ava’s schedule.
The group seems to notice something outside, leading to more panic and fear. The pets, Ella and Caprice, also react to the situation, but are okay. Rachelle expresses the need to contact Ava despite the ongoing crisis. Karla decides to call Purdue Fort Wayne to reach Ava. However, the person on the phone informs her that the university policy prohibits disturbing a student, faculty, or staff in a classroom. Despite Karla insisting that she works for Ava and wants her disturbed immediately, the person on the phone refuses to help without Ava’s permission and ends the call. She does reach Ava but gets Ava’s voicemail message, indicating that she is either out of the calling area or driving and cannot take the call. This suggests that the group is trying to handle an emergency situation while also attempting to contact Ava, who is unavailable due to her class schedule at Purdue Fort Wayne. Andi expresses frustration with the situation.
Rachelle decides to alert Breeanna and she answers the phone, and Rachelle informs her about the emergency near Ava’s home. Breeanna initially plans to go to Ava’s location but learns that it’s blocked off due to a standoff. Instead, Breeanna decides to go to her own place and mentions picking up Lyssa and Sierra from daycare. The tension continues build as Ava's security team grapple with the unfolding events, and the urgency of the situation becomes more apparent.
In this intense and suspenseful segment of the unfolding crisis, Ava finally answers George’s call. George urges Ava to come to her place as soon as possible due to an ongoing situation near Golfview Apartments. Ava agrees and George assures her that everything is safe and secure at the moment. Upon Ava’s arrival, George escorts her inside, emphasizing the urgency of the situation. He promises to keep her updated. Ava expresses relief at having reached safety and starts to gather information from her neighbors about the situation. She learns that there was a warrant service being done around 3:30 or 4 o’clock while Ava was in class at Purdue Fort Wayne at the time. It appears that because of meth, and the whole building has been evacuated. Ava reveals that she got an alert from one of her security guards at 6:30. Ava runs her own company in the digital media, broadcasting, and journalism field, as well as film and TV producing and directing. According to the police log, the police were trying to serve a warrant, indicating a law enforcement operation was underway at that time. The specifics of the emergency are starting to come to light. The warrant service and the mention of meth suggest some form of law enforcement operation related to drug offenses. 
The situation is indeed intense and chaotic as the warrant service had been ongoing for nearly five hours. The person being served the warrant is uncooperative while Ava was in class at Purdue Fort Wayne when all this unfolded. Witnesses reported a SWAT team presence a few hours ago. Ava arrived at 6:30 p.m. and found herself unable to get past the leasing office. The situation is dire, and Ava is deeply affected by what she’s witnessing. The chaos, law enforcement activity, and uncertainty have left Ava shaken. The gravity of the situation sickens her, emphasizing the severity of the events unfold while Caprice and Ella were okay despite everything that has happened. Ava’s earlier decision not to renew her lease at Golfview reflects the impact of these events on her life.
Ava reflects on the events that unfolded near her home at Golfview Apartments. She acknowledges that the warrant service incident was chaotic and dangerous. She emphasizes that her security team played a crucial role in handling the situation and regrets that the outdoor security cameras were taken down and she believes that even if they had remained, they would have made only a 9 percent difference in capturing the events. The following day, Ava purchased groceries for herself and her family, ensuring they have enough supplies during this tense time while Ava also buys three dozen donuts for her security team as their reward of handling the situation well. Despite the chaos and uncertainty, Ava remains vigilant and determined to stay informed. The situation has left her shaken, and she reflects on the impact it has had on her life.
After the incident, Ava and presumably other residents are likely experiencing a range of emotions and challenges. It does cause significant emotional distress and some common emotional reactions (shock, anger, depression, and hopelessness). They may experience anxiety, nightmares, and sleep disorders. Ava chuckles as she interacts with Caprice and Ella. Despite the chaos and uncertainty, these moments provide a sense of normalcy (or close to normalcy) and comfort. Ella’s playful protest about not getting wet food adds a touch of humor to the situation. Ava’s decision not to give Ella wet food because she was a “bad dog” is lighthearted, emphasizing the bond between Ava, Caprice, and Ella.
