With Vera's health in decline, Freedia focuses on staying in New Orleans so he can work on his new album, get ready for the upcoming Mardi Gras parade and shop for a house that he could share with his mom.

Freedia's live show hasn't changed in years and his dancers seem uninspired, so the Queen of Bounce hires a fiery creative director to revamp the show and whip the dancers into shape.

Devastated by his mother's passing, Freedia tries to be strong for his family and friends as they rally to give her a big, New Orleans send off with a second line parade.
