He nailed it. Both of them have sex in Titi’s workspace which puts horror in the children patient. After the hot night, Titi impulsively tries to invest more into their relationship hoping for something serious. The girlfriends do not like how the situation turns out for their dearest Titi since they understand both of them do not fit each other.
Despite all the red flags, Titi continues to maintain his superficial and one-sided relationship with Jennifer while secretly dreaming about Rose every night. In reality, he is avoiding Rose’s calls and messages. Since Jennifer is a sociopath and highly active on social media, Rose is aware of his new relationship. She decides to come and visit Titi at the hospital. The two catch up after their last encounter which stings Titi’s heart… But, the encounter does not end well. There is no way Titi can run from his squad, the girlfriends coming up with plans to spice things up between Titi, Rose, and Jennifer. Of course, to get rid of Jennifer and bring Rose and Titi together. They set up a costume party where Maud is going to trap Bruno to show that he got some issues with a lesbian girl. Titi has no choice but to stick with the plan in the end. The next day, he comes to Rose’s store and invites her to come over for the party.
Rose brings Bruno to the party. After mocking him in the beginning, Bruno is in shock when he finds out that Titi is dating Jennifer. On the other side, Maud is getting ready to seduce Bruno while Alex is trying to bring Rose to Titi’s room. After everything is going smoothly, the girls give a signal to Titi by purposely spilling water on Jennifer’s dress to distract her. Titi uses this chance to go into his room where he finds Rose is smilingly looking at his photo.

Ding dong, what perfect timing. Rose sees everything and immediately leaves the party. And… That’s where things do not go according to plan. To call it a night, Maud opens the curtain to humiliate Bruno in front of the crowd.
Titi immediately goes to Rose’s apartment to console her. Everything is going smoothly between them until Titi finds himself getting sweeps by his feet and tries to kiss Rose. The two go into another quarrel and that’s where everything blows up. She asks him to leave. The night isn’t over yet for our Titi. He goes back to his house where Jennifer already waits for him in front of the door, ready for some explanation. After knowing the reason behind Titi’s leaving, Jennifer beats him out which shocks the girls. She put an end to their relationship and screws him over.
Wrecked and overwhelmed by the chaos, Titi puts all the blame on his girl squad for all of their plans. He emotionally calls them out and puts an end to their friendship. He refuses to be treated as a guinea pig anymore. Well, the party is over and everything ends with angst.
After the chaos, everyone continues to live their life separately. The girlfriend still hangs out together and Titi is back playing music for Mike who is in a coma.
