Hello World! My name is Stretch and I’m the online producer for Keyshia Cole: The Way It Is Season 3. So throughout the season I will be giving you my ‘unofficial’ recaps of each episode. So without further delay let’s get this thing started!

Wow, what a difference a year makes but in the world of Keyshia Cole not much has changed! When we last left our heroine she and her family were all kissing, crying and hugging at the reunion show and we thought all was good. Well, let’s just say that was short-lived.

The episode starts off with a fresh, leaner and more relaxed looking Keyshia. She has been getting her workout on which has done a good thing for her. I’m loving the new hair color and it looks as though she has repaired her gap(I thought that gave her character)on her front teeth. Nonetheless, she looks like a woman on a mission as she prepares herself for the new album and tour. Keyshia is not the only one with new things in her life, Neffe moves into the house that Keyshia bought her. It is a really nice gesture of sisterly love from Keyshia. Now Neffe has a place for her and her 4 kids to live and be a family. Yes, that’s right I said 4 kids! I’m sure you all remember Jaylen…Neffe’s son who was introduced in the reunion show. Well my man is in the mix and he loves himself some spaghetti! Neffe is still coping with a lot but has seem to become more chill. She is still going to therapy and working on herself for her kids. But all of this before we see Frankie, so I could be speaking prematurely!

Keyshia heads to L.A. to get cracking on her new album. From the look and sounds of things it’s going to be a smash especially with Polow Da Don on the production. We see Manny make a non-speaking cameo–way to go Manny! Keyshia shares that she is in a happy place right now in her life. Again, I must mention this is all before a Frankie sighting! LOL. Keyshia tells the crew that this album is special because she is single and that dude (who could she be talking about?) she was dating is out of the picture.

So halfway thru the episode the main-attraction hits the screen–cue suspension music…Frankie! Yes, Frankie aka Gannny makes her presence felt when she comes by Neffe’s house. There was no time for Kool-Aid and Oreo cookies before the two of them start to argue over Frankie’s belongings being put in a garbage bag! I guess Neffe is going to need another trip back to the therapist after this altercation. I love this family they are so hot and cold at moments which makes for some explosive television. From the sight and sounds it seems Frankie is a little hot under the collar since Neffe got the house that was meant for her. In more breaking news we are introduced to Elite–Keyshia’s sister and one of the seven kids by Frankie. Elite looks a lot like Neffe and it will be interesting to see how she and Keyshia interact with each other.

Well all of this and it’s just the first episode! Make sure to catch an all-new episode next Tuesday at 10 p.m.(ET/PT). Until then this is Stretch’s Unofficial Guide to Keyshia Cole: The Way It Is Season 3!
