Just when you thought things were bad with Frankie chasing after Zo, our favorite “Holla” cougar makes moves with another young tender-tony! We will get to that later. So another Tuesday has passed and you know what that means…Keyshia Cole: The Way It Is, baby! So the episode starts off with Keyshia at wits end when it comes to her sister Neffe and her mom Frankie. This mother and daughter combo go at it more than two kids wrestling for space in a bed at night! Keyshia has Pastor Phelps come by to intercede for the family but mostly for Frankie and Neffe and their bickering. Keyshia states that she just wants them to get along, that’s wishful thinking Keyshia. Pastor Phelps tells Keyshia that she can’t be wings for everybody. This holds true. Keyshia has been extending herself to everyone since day one and I still don’t think they appreciate her kindness, sincerity and most of all her—love! The pastor tells her (Keyshia) to focus on herself more. He recommends counseling for Frankie and Neffe and that seems to trigger the both of them. It is hard to see how the two of them can ever have a civil conversation when they both like to YELL! And I mean boy do they yell at each other. We see Keyshia with a bewildered look on her face stuck in the middle of the two. As Neffe storms off and leaves Keyshia, Frankie and the rest of the family in the room. Pastor Phelps tells Keyshia again to let the burden go. I agree with the Pastor on this one. Open the window Keyshia and let it go for real.

Next we jump to L.A. and we see Keyshia along with Manny, Ron Fair and John Singleton. John is talking to Keyshia about making a movie about her life thus far. Keyshia reflects on the incident that took her from Oakland to L.A., let me guess it had to be a man! Ding-Ding–I’m right. Well, I’m sure that dude is kicking himself in places all over his body. Your lost playa! We also get to hear Manny finally speak! Ring the alarm he speaks…he speaks! Back at the ranch rather Neffe’s house we see Frankie calling for Neffe to come to the kitchen. When Neffe walks in Frankie is sitting there with this dude that looks like he just woke up from a year-long nap! Frankie goes on to say that this sleepy dude is her new man for real this time from South Carolina. Wow, Frankie moves fast on the men I see. Zo hasn’t been gone but a split-second but that doesn’t stop Frankie. Frankie is the go get ‘em cougar. We come to find out that the guy’s name is Jamel. He like his predecessor has a mouth full of gold. At least we see Frankie is consistent with her types–young and mouth full of gold. Jamel is a man of many words too! Well, he only says two words in very slow and deliberate drawl which is “For Sure”. Keyshia and the crew are off to the shop…the gun shop! Keyshia is like a sexy siren in her high heels and shorts at the range. She manages to hit the bulls-eye and flirt with the instructor too. If Keyshia decides to retire from singing I think she has a future in law enforcement. Neffe is on the phone with her manager as they go over the layout of her book. It’s good to see Neffe make something out her tumultuous life and turn it into something better. The name of her book we come to find out is “My Happiness Is My Sanity” and I hope that is the truth. All Neffe has to do is get happy about Frankie then she can truly be sane. Well that is a wrap for me this week. Make sure to watch another new-episode of Keyshia Cole: The Way It Is next Tuesday at 10 p.m. (ET/PT). Until then this is Stretch’s Guide To Keyshia Cole: The Way It Is Season 3!
