Eve

Shelly Williams (series star EVE) is a beautiful and intelligent 25-year-old clothing designer trying to navigate the exhilarating worlds of love, sex, romance and career in Miami.

After a 10-month romantic drought, Shelly finds it increasingly difficult to resist new guy J.T., but her friend Janie cautions her to slow down and get to know him--especially after noticing a jumbo box of condoms in his shopping cart.

Rita and Janie persuade Shelly that she should know more about the man she's dating than that he's incredibly sexy, so Shelly resorts to snooping through J.T.'s stuff to get to know him better.

Surprised to see J.T. with another woman at Rita's party, Shelly flirts with a former boyfriend, Khalif (COREY REYNOLDS - Broadway's "Hairspray"), to make J.T. jealous, which leads to a discussion about dating exclusively.

Shelly and J.T. take salsa lessons, but J.T. quits, frustrated by his clumsiness, while Shelly continues lessons with handsome dance instructor Tony (dancer/actor CRIS JUDD).

After spending lots of money taking Shelly out to expensive dinners and a concert, J.T. begins to feel frustrated that she never pays for their dates. Shelly brags to Rita and Janie that J.T. treats her like a queen.

Shelly and J.T. prepare to celebrate their 3-month anniversary with a romantic weekend getaway until J.T. realizes he's already committed to play in a basketball tournament with his friends, including competitive Trevor (Los Angeles Lakers basketball player DEREK FISHER).

J.T. feels his privacy has been invaded after Shelly shares their bedroom details with her girlfriends. Performer MISSY ELLIOTT makes a special guest-starring appearance as herself at Donovan's Z Lounge.

When J.T.'s mother walks in on Shelly and J.T. in bed, Shelly fears their romance will be ruined unless she can win his mother's acceptance and respect.

When J.T.'s sexy, successful ex-girlfriend, Corryn (STACEY DASH - "Clueless"), comes to Miami for a surprise visit, Shelly doesn't trust J.T. and Corryn, so she tries various ways to keep her man from being tempted by his former lover.

Frustrated by the long hours Shelly's working during the holidays, J.T. tells her that she needs to make him her first priority.

Nick becomes upset because Shelly is always at the apartment he shares with her boyfriend, J.T. Shelly eats the guys' food and generally interrupts their manly pursuits, but J.T. doesn't mind.

On Valentine's Day, the friends debate whether or not it was fate that Shelly and J.T. became acquainted. In a series of flashbacks to six months earlier, J.T. almost meets Shelly in line at a coffeehouse but becomes frustrated by her lengthy order.

Shelly's globetrotting college friend, April (SOFIA VERGARA - "Chasing Papi"), unexpectedly arrives in Miami.

J.T. is thrilled by his newfound friendship with actor/comedian CEDRIC THE ENTERTAINER (himself - "Barbershop" movies) until Cedric won't ever leave his side, so J.T. seeks advice from Shelly on how to "break up" with the man.

Shelly's successful, Ivy League-educated sister, Simone (QUEEN LATIFAH - "Barbershop 2," "Chicago"), comes for a visit, and Shelly frustratingly finds herself slipping back in the role of overshadowed little sister, especially after becoming Simone's backup singer during their karaoke rendition of The Supremes' "Come See About Me."

Shelly jumps into J.T.'s bar brawl and, with one punch, puts an end to the fight before it even really starts, causing J.T. to feel his masculinity has been undermined.

The women at DivaStyle accidentally accept a client who turns out to be a pimp, Rodney P. (MORRIS DAY of the funk band The Time).

After her car accidentally catches on fire, Shelly asks J.T. to lend her money for a down payment on a new one, but when he refuses, it causes her to question their relationship.

In the one-hour season finale, a humiliated J.T. admits to Shelly that he doubts she's the type of girl he could marry after he and his parents see Shelly and her girlfriends drunk and topless in a new commercial for a racy reality video.
