==Plot==
Penny arrives home late at night to the fury of her mother and the indifference of her father. As it turns out, she has been hanging out with Kareem, ignoring the tasks Trudy is giving her and arriving late to her class. She refuses to spill out any details to her friends, but Kareem has been posting images of their date on his social media page. Penny, having forgotten about family reports, decides to copy Dijonay's and this earns her a place in detention.
At the ice cream diner where Penny and Kareem are sipping milkshakes, Zoey resigns in disgrace thanks to Wizard Kelly. Kareem wants to go home out of respect for his parents, but Penny coaxes him into staying. Even so, Kareem and Penny head home, but not before Wizard Kelly gives Penny a bill for the milkshakes. At her house, Penny finds out that Oscar and Trudy changed the locks and even Bebe and Cece are refusing to let her in. Penny was locked out as punishment for outright defiance. Oscar, however, is fortunate enough to give Penny some money, instructing her to go over to Suga Mama's house. As Penny arrived, Suga Mama tells her to sleep in Puff's little bed, as Oscar told Suga Mama about what Penny had done.
The next morning, a Rocky style montage ensues, showing Penny trying her hardest to keep up with Suga Mama's morning routine exercise. After that, it's breakfast time, and Penny thought Suga Mama is making her some breakfast. However, it is Penny who is going to cook breakfast for Suga Mama and for Bobby, who just arrived in the kitchen.
