Living room: Tia is yelling at Tamera for ditching her at choir practice. Tamera is not listening...she's just talking about her new friend Vanessa who's buying her expensive gifts...
Plot
Tamera finds out her new friend Vanessa is shoplifting. Now Tamera is involved because Vanessa gave her some of the stolen goods. It's been 15 years since Ray lost his wife, Ellen. He is troubled because he can't let her go. Lisa is jealous because she thinks he is seeing another woman. Tia gets that impression too. Ray tells Tamera about Ellen, but is too occupied in his thoughts to sense Tamera is having problems on her own. Now the spirit of Ellen appears. Feeling his anguish, she tries to help Ray by giving him a message through Lisa. She also reaches out to Tamera by giving her a sheet of music she used to sing for her...
