At the same time, Naomi has started a catering business, which isn't going well, but decides to apply to cater the Reunion. Mama reveals the reason why she doesn't want to attend; she was given the nickname "Hot Pants," after an untrue story. Naomi reveals that she will cater the Reunion, and Mama realizes that she'll have to go. When Mama gets there, everything is all right at first, until someone calls her "Hot Pants." The family also hears about some girl nicknamed "Hot Pants," and when they mention it to Mama and Iola, Iola reveals it is Mama.
