<P> The reunion album is made six years later, in 1996, after the various independent acts somewhat fizzled . This left several in debt, or at least precarious, financial position, especially Ricky (Elijah Kelley). Several of the group members, now approaching their 30s, are also dealing with personal issues: Ralph is struggling with the passing of his mother, while Bobby is no longer the only member with drug and alcohol issues . Also, Ricky is secretly using cocaine, popping pills, and drinking heavily, hiding his problems from his wife as well as the rest of New Edition . </P> <P> As the group prepares for a tour of Home Again, Brooke is amazed at their expenses - separate tour buses, large entourages, lots of luggage - despite their limited success as independent acts, as well as being less professional than when they were kids . While the group will perform New Edition songs, they will also perform the songs of their various respective acts . Unfortunately, this tour does not go well, with Bobby's penchant for missing various interviews and even performances annoying the rest of the group and interfering with scheduled performance times . At one stop, Bobby arrived after the rest of the group had finished performing but decided to close the show solo instead . Bobby claimed that he felt like singing, because the crowd was chanting for him . </P> <P> The tour arrives in New Mexico, where the miniseries began, though with some additional details on what would lead to the massive brawl . Bobby - on time for a change - decided to sing an extra song, at least partially because Bell Biv DeVoe couldn't go on as Ronnie (Keith Powers) was late . Bobby assumes that he was the real star of the tour . Thus, when Ronnie charged onto the stage to cut off Bobby, Bobby was partially angry, claiming that he was covering for Ronnie by doing an extra song . Storming backstage angry, Bobby tries to blast Bell Biv DeVoe with water from a fire hose but can't get the emergency device to work . Instead, he and his bodyguard march onstage, which brings in the various entourages for a chaotic scene, finally culminating with a gun shot that scatters everyone . </P> <P> In the chaos, Brooke stumbles away and has a heart attack before being found by one of the members of the Bell Biv DeVoe entourage . An ambulance arrives to take him to the hospital, but won't allow Ronnie (who is Brooke's nephew) in with him . Instead, both Ricky and Mike try to keep Ronnie calm while waiting for a car . Ralph and Johnny get filled in, but Ronnie nearly loses it when Bobby appears to ask what's going on . He angrily blames Bobby for starting the fracas that led to his uncle having a heart attack . Bobby, on the hand, counter-argued that he would never hurt Brooke and that it was Ronnie who provoked the situation . Ronnie angrily storms off for good this time, saying he's done with the tour . Also, he's fed up with Ralph and Johnny always coddling Bobby . Ralph leaves after getting into it with Mike, and Johnny was fed up wasting his time with the hostility . A panicked Ricky asks Mike what they are going to do with so many shows left, and Mike essentially says the tour and the group are done . </P>
