Alexis confronts Julius about his secret meeting with Ashley in Love After Lockup

This episode of Love After Lockup began with Alexis in tears after learning that Julius had met up with Ashley. When she asked for details, Julius claimed it was just a “misunderstanding,” but later confessed to lying.

He had told Alexis that he was meeting a friend named Tyler when he was actually seeing Ashley. This led Alexis to express concern over her ability to trust him going forward.

She told the cameras that it does "make me worry," and added that she planned to be more cautious. Julius apologized, saying, “I do want this relationship to last,” and agreed to share his location with her moving forward.

Despite his apology, Alexis admitted that her “biggest fear” was becoming real. She also said, “I’m still gonna forgive him,” but made it clear she would not overlook anything else.

Later in the episode, Julius tried to assure Alexis that he wanted to be honest from now on. However, the situation caused visible strain between the two. Alexis’s continued unease showed how past dishonesty was affecting the relationship’s foundation.

While they seemed to temporarily resolve the issue, Alexis made it clear that things wouldn’t go back to how they were before.

Although Damodrick insisted that nothing was happening between them now, Quiana felt uneasy. She told the cameras that she doesn't feel right. Damodrick’s father spoke to him privately.

“My dad has been around. One thing is when you have been around is that you know good girls and you know good women, so I definitely take his advice seriously,” Damodrick shared.

He gave Damodrick his late mother’s engagement ring, implying that Quiana could be someone to build a future with. Damodrick appreciated his father's advice in Love After Lockup.

Despite this, Damodrick called Jawalia after the gathering to apologize for the “commotion.” He admitted that Jawalia still had feelings for him and said that if Quiana found out about the call, “she’d be mad.”

The next morning, he and Quiana made up, but she still sensed something was off. She wasn't sure if Damodrick was being "real," with her.
