The show starts with "This is a public service announcement." Diddy pops up and welcomes you back, saying it's time to get back in the studio and make some hits.

Day 26 is in the studio working on "Hold Me", produced by Kwame with Tiffany Starr assisting him. Kwame tells them he wants to incorporate everyone in the song. Mike records first, followed by Brian, who is told is raise his voice a bit. Q is next and he does well. Robert follows and he has a tough time.

We switch to Donnie, working with Battle Roy. He's having fun and everything seems to be going smoothly for him.

Over to the DK session, they are working on "Poetry", a song about one person in a relationship not being honest, according to Aundrea. Aubrey talks, in confessional, about how they know each other better now and know where each one of them fits in a given song. Aubrey is writing sticky notes saying "I Want Q", "I Need Q", "I Can't Live Without Q" and "I will Die If I Don't Do Q" and sticking them on Dawn's back.

Back to the Day 26 session, Willie is singing. Conrad Dimanche, Bad Boy's Senior Director of A&R at the time, comes in the studio. Robert says that it seems like they have songs written for Will's voice. He continues to have a tough time with the song and he's complaining to Brian about it being their third song and he hasn't "shined once" (so what?). He says that he isn't a "background a**". Ouch. Attitude.

Back at the guy's house, Will talks to Brian about Robert's attitude, saying that everyone can't lead every time, some people will be background and some people will be lead. He's going to play his role - this is a group, there are no solo artists.

Day 26 is on the street during the day and a fan stops them and gets a hug from all of them, offering them congratulations. The guys are surrounded by fans, taking pictures, meeting them and singing. We now move to night and Danity Kane is doing the same thing. The girls talk about how important the fans are to them. Aubrey asks D. Woods who she thinks she looks like? She says who? Aubrey says no one, she's an original. But, she says that she kind of looks like "Robert's future babymama." And D. does a mock laugh.

At the guy's house, Q wants to ask Dawn on a date, but he doesn't want to go alone, so Robert says that he'll ask D. Woods out. Robert calls and flat out tells D. Woods he's going to take her to get something to eat. Q gets on and says he's gonna take Dawn out, too. Robert says get ready, they'll be there in 5 minutes. D. Woods didn't even say yes... and Robert hangs up. Very funny phone conversation, but let's say he was a little rude. To get back at them, Aubrey pitches the idea of getting dirt on him and heads to his MySpace. She pulls up a photo on it of his supposed girlfriend June, his "junebug".

Robert and Q arrive and Aubrey lets them in. And Aubrey shows him that they are on Junebug's MySpace and she tries to act innocent. But, Robert is obviously offended and perhaps a little hurt. He gets angry, telling them that it's his ex-girlfriend and that he doesn't control his MySpace, she set it up for him. At one point, he says he doesn't have a MySpace. But, again, he doesn't control it and can't even login, he says.

In the hall way, Aubrey and Dawn talk and Aubrey tries to act real innocent, saying his she knows Robert likes D. and this would come out sooner or later, so it's good.

And D. Woods and Robert keep going at it. Robert tells her that he likes her and they go back and forth. Dawn and Q head out on their own to get something to eat. They get to know each other better as they walk to the restaurant. In confessional, Dawn says that it worked out better with D. Woods and Robert not going. Dawn says it's her first date out with a guy "that she hasn't..." (she doesn't finish the sentence, so we're not sure what she means here) and she's nervous.

Now seated in the restaurant, they ask each other questions and get to know each other better. They are definitely enjoying each other's company. And they leave happy. Dawn, in confessional, says he's a good guy. Q, also in private, says that he's just trying to be friends right now. Back at the girls room, Robert and D. Woods are still arguing. Aubrey says she was glad when the fight was happening before because it's exciting. But, now, it's getting old. She's really coming across as quite annoying to me. Starting drama, stroking fires... being the problem child.

Day 26 is in studio again working with Mike Winans on another song. They sing some of the song and Winans lists the singers he wants in order and he has Robert last. Robert's not liking it, of course. Privately, he says he's OK with it. Robert finally gets to go in and he's not doing well and you can see the frustration in his face. Willie talks to the other guys about how they need to have a meeting and talk him to get this solo vibe squashed. Except for Will, the guys are a little apprehensive. Brian and Mike don't see the meeting going very well. Based upon previews, neither do I. :)

The girls head to an espresso bar and they ask Dawn what happened with Q and if she likes him. She says he's nice and that he's different than the other guys, in that he doesn't really care what people say. And now, Aubrey unleashes a torrent of Robert criticism. She tells D. Woods that Robert and her can't be in a relationship because they can't communicate and she says that his ego will get in his way in their relationship and in his career. And that will be his downfall. And, to be honest, she says so much stuff about Robert that I can't even type it all. It's crazy. And, the girls are giving Aubrey looks like they might agree with that assertion. Really, she comes across like she just doesn't want Robert spending time with D. Woods. Maybe this is what she wanted? Just speculating, but from what we saw, it's not that nuts.

We now see Diddy rolling in to Daddy's House. He's on crutches. This would have been after his foot surgery. He meets in one of the studio rooms with all of the girls and guys assembled, as well as a couple of others, like Conrad Dimanche. "Poetry" by Danity Kane plays. He tells them that he needs them to produce the vocals a bit better - he doesn't care who goes where, he just wants it to sound more like a Danity Kane record.

It's Day 26's turn. "Come With Me" plays. He tells them that they sound like they haven't been practicing, he doesn't hear the emotion in their voices. He tells them to make some changes and switch some things up. He tells the girls that they can go, but has the boys stay.

He looks at Robert. Robert looks at him. He asks them how they are all gelling - do they have any issues? Q tells them that they had a meeting to make sure that everyone is on the same page. Robert says that they didn't have a meeting. Brian says that they didn't have one, but they plan on it. Willie talks about the comment that Robert made that he's not a background singer and they talk about how he's trying to be a leader.

Diddy asks Brian if Robert acted like he was the leader. Brian hesitated, then said yes. Diddy goes right after Robert, telling him he's not the leader and he's not the lead singer. "If you ever act like you the lead singer-" Robert stops him and tells him that he stands back. Diddy tells him not to stand back - where the group moves, he moves. Robert and the guys have a back and forth and Robert tells them that they should have told them.

Diddy interrupts and asks Robert if he has any "b**** a**ness" in him. He says he doesn't. Diddy says that he does have a little because he saw it in how he handled the situation with his girlfriend (you may remember that from season 1). Diddy says that he needs to correct it because it screws stuff up (clean version). He calls it a contagious disease. "No b**** a**ness will be allowed at Bad Boy." He tells them that they need to gel - there is no unity on their records and he doesn't want to feel like he may have picked one wrong person for the chemistry of the group.

Robert feels betrayed. Whatever it is, you gotta handle it, Diddy says. And now. Diddy leaves the room. In private, Robert says that he's hurt. After Diddy leaves, Robert tells them they all got their revenge. Mike tells Brian and Willie that they shouldn't have brought the issue up for the first time in front of Diddy like that. The guys hash it out. Robert is offended and he says he doesn't care about friends or brotherhood or any of that.

The boys and the girls head to a church to have a refreshing moment, according to Shannon. She says that they've had a tough time and they all need a refresh. They are at the Love Fellowship Tabernacle with Pastor Hezekiah Walker (Diddy's pastor or, at least, he used to be - they were working together on the "Thank You" gospel album and he and his chior were featured on "Best Friend" from Diddy's "Forever"). The Pastor has the room rocking and Q gets up and dances around as everyone claps and moves.

After the service, they sit down with Pastor Walker, just them and him, for the most part. He talks to them about singing and then they talk with Brother Ron Cummings, the choir director. He asks them to come up and share some of the Making the Band sound with them. Robert is first and he lets loose. D. Woods cracks a little smile, briefly as Shannon enjoys it, as well. Q kind of has a weird look on his face and Will looks on. The Pastor seems to be enjoying it, as well. Robert goes for a while and he's the only one we see sing. Robert finishes and Cummings says that they need to stop because it's about to make them start another service. Robert seems to relax a little after that, smiling with Q and, privately, he says that he's here to make hits and what's best for the group is best for him.

Back in the studio, Day 26 is at work and everyone takes a crack in the booth. The mood is much more relaxed than it was before. Robert seems like he's back in the groove and everyone seems to be digging his performance. Brian and Robert have a quick chat in the hall and they hug. Brian calls them a family - they argue and let go. He thinks they'll be OK. And the episode ends.

For the next episode preview, Diddy tells the groups of a competition. The girls will battle the guys for a track. They will both write to it. (And, I'm guessing, the one Diddy likes better is the one that gets a green light). The guys are confident. We now see Conrad Dimanche telling all of them that they have a problem and he wants to see the guys alone. It then cuts to Conrad saying he's going to pray for them and the guys looking disappointed. And that's all we see.
