Kandi mentors to protégés who are overcoming emotional odds to perform.

Kandi writes a sex anthem for a "soccer mom" and gets Ruben Studdard to help an R&B singer with his swag.

Kandi works with an emotional artist, a singer in need of flavor and deals with turmoil between the Factory crew (with the aid of Phaedra Parks).

Kandi takes on two very individual artists -- a goth rocker and a gay rapper.

Kandi tries to mold a Afghani American hairdresser and a Chicago rapper who is lacking in swagger.
