Lola decides to post a picture of her and Tiny on her Hastygram and thought it was okay because she was talking about her hair in the photo's caption. Of course, Shay did not take this too well. Lola and Shay go back and forth sending subliminal indirect messages about each other. Chaos ensues quickly, and it leads to a mock trail between the class about on if Lola was justified in posting the photo.
