Winterfest is underway, and it looks every bit as great as we were led to believe it would be. In Monday’s episode, special guest star Keke Wyatt sings at WinterFest. Make sure to keep an eye on the crowd. Leslie (Trisha Mann-Grant) is being watched by Marcel (Darryl W. Handy) and Vernon (Clifton Davis), and Sharon, who is being watched by Tracy (Maria Howell). Surely an event this big can’t go off without some sort of drama.

New faces, new surprises

In mondays episode, Nicole's (Daphnée Duplaix) date takes her by surprise. The new face in Fairmont Crest, Doctor Kial Rollins (Greg Vaughan), is set to make waves immediately. What good is an arrival if no one notices you right away? We have been waiting for some time for his arrival, and now that he is here, let's get straight into some soapy drama.

A Joey for all seasons

In Mondays episode, Vanessa (Lauren Buglioli) is troubled by Joey's lack of support, while Kat (Colby Muhammed) thanks him for his unexpected help. Joey (Jon Lindstrom) has made it very clear that he didn't want to be Vanessa's date to Winterfest, as it would only hurt her to be associated with him and seen together at such a prestigious event, but, to the surprise of the day, Kat is grateful for his help.

Scandals of Fairmont Crest

In Mondays episode, Leslie tells Marcel there's a looming scandal that could rock Fairmont Crest. Wait…another scandal? That's right, a cold, wintry setting is about to heat up as we dive right back into more hidden skeletons in closets. Marcel was asked to keep an eye on Leslie at Winterfest to keep Laura (Destiny Love) safe, but he has his own reasons for keeping Leslie close, much to the Chief of Police's annoyance. What scandal could Leslie possibly know about? Well, she was the one to catch Vernon coming out of Sharon's (Bonita Brisker) hotel room not so long ago, and that, if it is as it appears, would definitely rock Fairmont Crest right to its core.
