Poetic Justice (film)
Plot
The quartet makes several detours off the I-5 expressway during their trek; at a family reunion barbecue, they pose incognito as cousins. Iesha and Chicago's troubled relationship becomes apparent although there were ample hints earlier, as Iesha openly flirts with another man at the barbecue, and Chicago broods watching her behavior. The couple argues in the mail truck until Justice reveals Iesha's issues with alcohol. Iesha vomits and tearfully apologizes to her, promising to obtain treatment.
Plot
Months later, Lucky, having gained full custody of his daughter, re-encounters Justice at the beauty salon, introducing her to Keisha. Remorseful over his cruel conduct towards Justice in Oakland, he apologizes. She smiles at him coyly and they passionately kiss before she turns to focus on Keisha's hair. Justice's and Lucky's eyes meet over Keisha's head and they smile at each other, as strongly connected as ever.
