Line 52:
Mikey repeatedly tries to persuade Strawberry to travel with him to Los Angeles to pursue a career in pornography which he plans on managing and which is his way back into the business. They grow closer, causing him to become distant from Lexi. When he disappears for a weekend with Strawberry, Lexi grows suspicious and they argue. Mikey berates her and brags about the $3,000 he made selling drugs. While riding in Lonnie's car, Mikey's late directions to a highway off-ramp causes them to swerve across traffic, creating a [[multiple-vehicle collision]] which results in several injuries, but which they avoid. They flee the scene and Mikey begs Lonnie to hide his involvement. Mikey is anxious but Lonnie assumes responsibility for the crash when he is arrested.
 
Using the crash as an excuse, Mikey visits Strawberry at work and asks her to come to Los Angeles with him and start her porn career. She agrees and quits her job. That night, Mikey tells Lexi that he is leaving for Los Angeles in the morning. Lexi and Lil convince Leondria to send her adult children, June and her brothers, to seize the $3,000 that Mikey earned from selling pot. They confront him while he is sleeping and take the money. June forces Mikey to flee naked out of the bedroom window and he runs to Leondria's house, begging her to return his money. SheExplaining that he's being punished for selling her marijuana to the unionized construction workers, she gives Mikey $200 and tells him to leave or be beaten up. Humiliated, he leaves with a few possessions in a trash bag. After traveling all night on foot to Strawberry's house, he imagines seeing her dressed in a bikini in her doorway as his eyes well with tears.
