‘Harlem’ Season 2 Episode 5 recap
Wanting to get out of her funk, Quinn (Grace Byers) tried to celebrate her first Pride after identifying as part of the LGBTQ community. However, Angie (Shoniqua Shandai) announced that she was moving out and couldn’t spend the day with her. Therefore, Quinn hung out with Tye (Jerrie Johnson) and joined her at a party for her dating app, Q.
After planning to shut the app down and launch a new one so ex Brandon (Kadeem Ali Harris) wouldn’t get anything from it; Tye changed her mind when a user shared their experience finding love on her creation. Quinn spotted Vogue representatives at the event who revealed her interview got canceled. The news sent an already spiraling Quinn over the edge.
She briefly ran into Angie afterward, but her friend’s anticipated call with Michael (Luke Forbes) took precedence. He invited the aspiring actor to a birthday party, but she canceled, leading him to show up at her apartment later, where the two started a relationship.
Additionally, Camille (Meagan Good) ran into Jameson (Sullivan Jones), and her ex explained that he obtained a grant in both of their names. Therefore, he suggested they collaborate on a project about Black women’s societal role. She didn’t get a chance to tell Ian (Tyler Lepley) about the conversation, and he found texts when she left her phone before rushing off to help Dr. Pruitt (Whoopi Goldberg). While Camille was still out, Ian tried to confront Jameson about communicating with his girlfriend but backed off when he learned about the project. Additionally, Ian agreed the exes should collaborate and promised to talk to Camille about it. New episodes of Harlem drop every Friday on Amazon Prime Video.
