Desna (Niecy Nash) is on the verge of franchising her high-end salon concept, but Brenda (now acting as a consultant) reveals that Uncle Daddy has hidden a massive stash of cash within the salon's brand-new tanning beds. Desna must secure the money without destroying the salon or alerting the DEA, who are tailing her new business partner.

Dean (Harold Perrineau), thriving in his new bodybuilding persona and loving life with Virginia, is forced to choose between his sister’s chaotic criminal world and a stable, quiet life when a talent scout offers him a sponsorship far away from Florida.

The opening night party becomes a warzone. Desna must choose between saving the money, saving her girls, or saving her freedom. In a shocking twist, Quiet Ann (Judy Reyes), having returned to town, intervenes to save Desna, but at a massive cost to her own safety.

Following the power vacuums left by the Russians and the collapse of the Dixie Mafia's traditional structure, Desna is trying to go fully legitimate with her new salon empire, but the past refuses to stay buried.

Virginia (Karrueche Tran), looking to step up as Desna’s true second-in-command, makes a dangerous deal with a new Miami cartel to protect the salon from a local threat. The deal goes south, forcing Virginia to use her manicurist tools—and her wit—to eliminate the threat in a messy, signature Claws showdown.
