She uncovers that the minister's friend was giving him money to take her out, exposing a coordinated scheme.

The episode opens with Fierce Manson in high energy on a Tuesday evening, greeting her team — Fierce Nation International — which she describes as based in Kenya, Zimbabwe, East and West Africa, the UK, Germany, and with an honorary member in India. She announces she will be featuring Arctic Baba, an Italian rock band she promoted a few years prior who she continues to follow on Instagram and Twitter. She plays their song 'Mr. Crazy,' which prompts her to tell a personal dating story. She opens with the observation — crediting Star Jones — that when you date someone, you are dating their agent, not the real person. She then describes meeting a minister in Chicago through a mutual acquaintance. The man wore three-piece suits, took her to lunch almost every weekday, and claimed to work at a high-end store in Water Tower Place. Suspicious after some time, she called the store from her office while posing as someone conducting an employment check, and learned the man had been fired a full year earlier. She then discovered that a mutual friend who worked as a doorman at the Palmer House hotel had been giving the man money to fund the dates and maintain the illusion of financial stability. After she ended the relationship, the man began stalking her. She had to call police and go to court twice. On the second court appearance, the judge stood up from his chair and directly ordered the man never to contact her again. Fierce Manson translates the experience into direct advice for women: everyone who appears to bring roses is actually carrying daisies and weeds, and financial deception is common in early relationships. She urges women not to have children with men they have not thoroughly investigated. She then plays Arctic Baba's second song, 'State of the Nation,' and briefly mentions that the band has recently signed with a real label. She closes with a plug for Cozy Earth sleepwear and signs off.
