He's also sleeping with the building manager, so he's no help. Fed up from lack of sleep, no sex, and extreme annoyance, Lyrical reaches the point of having to choose between confronting her rude neighbor and Thall Shall Not Kill. After checking where Thall Shall Not Kill falls on the list of Commandments, Lyrical storms over to his apartment and lets loose. (Spoiler Alert: she goes with confrontation instead of Thall Shall Not Kill). Nixon Nixon St. James is successful, wealthy, good-looking, and comes from a great family. On paper, he's a fantastic catch. In person, he could benefit from a semester-or two-at charm school.

With the help of his brother, they get to repairing the damage and cooling his temper. However, Nixon's not prepared for when a petite brunette storms into the apartment and gives him a piece of her mind. When jumping to the wrong conclusion does its thing… After Lyrical unleashes weeks of sleep-deprived anger on her new neighbor, she heads over to her best friend's apartment (one floor above hers) and tells her all about it. However, as she goes into further detail, it starts to become clear that she may have cussed out the wrong person. After Nixon gets the verbal lashing of his life, he's not sure which issue to address first. How does he convince the angry spitfire that he's not gay, not straight pretending to be gay, or not gay and having an affair with his brother? I mean, he's been accused of a lot of things in life, but this? This is crazy. Certain that she's going to be evicted for cussing out the building owner, Lyrical calls on her best ninja skills to avoid Nixon St. James.
