Episode 2

Prom Night

Nichelle's Nana, Sonya, comes home with news: Jivanni came into the store and asked to see her granddaughter. Nichelle knows what it means — it's her time.

At school, her friend Kayla is thrilled that Jordan asked her to prom. Brayden asked Nichelle, and he seems perfect, but she touches the flower in her hair. She only gets one. Kayla gave hers away and wishes she could take it back.

After school, Nichelle visits Jivanni and admits her fears: she feels pressured and isn't sure she's ready. Jivanni hands her a locked keepsake box and a ring of identical keys. Nichelle tries key after key and gives up — until Jivanni shows her she never asked. The right key was numbered all along.

The box is empty. It's hers to fill, Jivanni explains: she decides what goes in, when it leaves, and who it goes to. That is her power. Nichelle places her flower in the box and walks out changed and confident — her Jivanni Moment complete.
