But will his fitness obsession come between him and Amy?
During an altercation with bully Logan in McKlunky’s, Denzel is surrounded by him and his gang outside. Spotting what’s happening, Yolanda goes to intervene, but as she trips, the gang film her and Denzel feels horrendous that he couldn’t protect Yolande.
Humiliated by the video showing him failing to protect Yolande, Denzel lashes out when Nugget teases him, forcing Priya to break them up.
When Amy tries to reassure Denzel about his standoff with Logan, he’s paranoid about not being buff enough and later at the Boxing Den, spars with Nugget but asks George if he can get in the ring with fighter Rufus.
After Denzel tries to take things too far, George gives him a pep talk about managing his emotions and building his strength.
The following day at McKlunky’s, Amy is annoyed when Denzel is so engrossed by a fitness influencer’s videos that he neglects her. And she’s further hurt when he chooses to go to the gym instead of having dinner at her place.
