Nearly six years later, the show is still alive as it just entered its sixth season to continue accounts of life on the South Side of Chicago. Season five concluded last summer with plenty of comforting events for the show’s main characters. Darnell and Jada finally got married, after years of ups and downs in their relationship. On top of that, Darnell also bought a house for himself and Jada. Emmett and Keisha have officially moved in together and things are going well, especially for EJ, Emmett’s son with Tiffany. EJ has had some improvements in school and it sparked the repair of Tiffany and Keisha’s relationship. That’s where we left off in season five, now, let’s you ready for season six.
