Jordan — The Estranged Twin

Flower: Twin-Stemmed Orchid (duality, delicate forgiveness)
“We mirrored each other... even when it cracked.”

Jordan and Ivy were once inseparable — twin souls finishing each other’s sentences. But silence crept in, and two years passed without a word. When Ivy reached out, Jordan forgave… but never forgot. Tonight, Jordan arrives with a smile — and a reminder that second chances come with strings.

Clue: Jordan gave Ivy a “second chance” bouquet weeks ago — but the card was misspelled, and Ivy never mentioned receiving it.

Cieja — The Mentor in Mink

Flower: Black Calla Lily (ambition, transformation)
“I showed her the map. She still took every wrong turn.”

Cieja was Ivy’s mentor, her blueprint, her big sis in every sense but blood. She coached, corrected, and celebrated Ivy — even when Ivy stumbled. But as the floral empire grew, Cieja watched Ivy trade strategy for spectacle. She RSVP’d to the dinner without hesitation. She knows a good show when she sees one.

Clue: Ivy recently found Cieja’s old planner — the one marked with dates, notes, and warnings Ivy never followed. The last note read: “If she doesn’t listen this time, I’m done.

Ash B — The Forgotten Plug

Flower: Anemone (anticipation, fading hope)
“I got her into every room. She forgot to get me into one.”

Ash B was the plug — the person behind the access, the invites, the VIP passes. He opened doors for Ivy she didn’t even know existed. But when it came time to return the favor, Ash B was left on read. Tonight, he brings something more powerful than a ticket: memory.

Clue: Ash B once gave Ivy a concert ticket tucked in a floral card. She showed up at the wrong venue and was furious — but no one ever saw the apology Ash B supposedly sent.

Tatianna — The Protective Cancer

Flower: Queen Anne’s Lace (delicate trust, tough love)
“You loved her like a sister. She moved like a liability.”

Tatianna wasn’t just Ivy’s client — she was Ivy’s confidante, protector, and tough-love queen. She watched Ivy trust the wrong people and walk into the wrong rooms. She tried to warn her. She tried to help. But Ivy didn’t want saving; she wanted applause. Tonight, Tatianna shows up with both love… and silence.

Clue: Tatianna overheard Ivy say, “I just want everyone to like me.” She warned Ivy not everyone deserved her trust — but Ivy never took the advice.

Phil — The Real Beyonce

Flower: Flamingo Lily (bold, dramatic, attention-worthy)
“She thought she was the moment. I’ve been the era.”

Phil was a born main character — sharp, stunning, unforgettable. Ivy knew it, loved it, and sometimes… took it. From inside jokes to brand pitches, Phil watched his contributions go uncredited. But tonight? He arrived dressed like a headline, ready to toast Ivy — and maybe to reclaim his spotlight.

Clue: Ivy’s final social media post quoted a line only Phil had ever said to her — a line no one else was supposed to know.

Esco — The Flawed Florist

Flower: Carnation (disappointment, faded charm)
“She called it a gift. I called it disrespect.”

Esco didn’t need Ivy’s flowers. Loyal and supportive from the start, Esco overlooked the small missteps… until they weren’t so small anymore. A bruised bouquet here, a forgotten card there — the cracks started to show. Esco came to the dinner with good vibes, sure, but also with a long memory of every wilted promise.

Clue:Esco accidentally received Ivy’s florist order email thread. In it, Ivy requested a rare flower — one known to be toxic if handled incorrectly. A matching bloom unexpectedly showed up in a bodega bouquet… but Esco swears they didn’t put it there.

Jazzi — The Holiday Friend

Flower: Chrysanthemum (enduring friendship, silent endings)
“She bloomed year-round. I only saw her in December.”

Jazzi was the friend who showed up for every milestone — the one Ivy could count on when it mattered most. But over time, the thank-yous faded, the callbacks slowed, and the distance grew. Jazzi still showed up, of course. History holds weight. But memory? That holds everything.

Clue:A half-written birthday card from Jazzi was found in Ivy’s room — the message ended mid-sentence, right after “I need to tell you something important.

Autumn — The Forgiver

Flower: Orchid (grace, control, silent endings)
“Not every garden deserves to grow.”

Autumn mastered the art of forgiveness. Through late RSVPs, missed birthdays, and family drama, she smiled, organized, and forgave. But even the most patient hearts have limits. Tonight, Autumn arrived flawless as always, raising her glass when expected… and holding decisions Ivy never knew she had made.

Clue: Autumn was the last family member Ivy called — a missed call at 2 a.m. that Autumn never picked up. What did Ivy need so urgently that night?

Butta — The Devoted Flame

Flower: Protea (resilience, quiet fire, sacred love)
Tagline: “She loved her out loud. But maybe she loved the world louder.”

Butta was more than Ivy’s partner — she was the anchor holding Ivy steady when everything else spun out. She handled the chaos, quieted the storms, and gave Ivy the kind of love most people only dream about. But love without boundaries? That burns slow — and Butta has been burning for a long time. When Ivy left that morning without saying goodbye, Butta noticed. She showed up to the dinner with presence… but what else did she bring?

Clue: Butta was the last person seen with Ivy before she disappeared — but the timeline is blurry, and the champagne bottle she brought may have been tampered with.

Lindsay — The Live-In Lightening Bolt

Flower: Snapdragon (bold beauty, hidden bite)
“She ran a flower empire. I ran her life behind the scenes.”

Lindsay was Ivy’s younger cousin, unofficial assistant, and emotional first responder. She practically lived in Ivy’s orbit, running errands, prepping events, and cleaning up chaos. But love doesn’t erase frustration, and Lindsay was tired of blurred boundaries. Tonight, she showed up not as the helper — but as the observer, watching Ivy reap what she’s sown.

Clue: Lindsay noticed a chemical smell on one of the floral bundles Ivy prepped for the dinner — a smell that didn’t belong to anything in the shop.

Nyjha — The Forgotten Mic

Flower: Black Dahlia (betrayal, mystery)
Tagline: “She picked peonies over podcasts. So I pulled the plug.”

Once Ivy’s best friend and co-creator of the Hoes By Association podcast, Nyjha watched as their big plans were buried under floral posts and Instagram reels. She stood by, quietly, while their brand faded and Ivy’s focus drifted. Loyal, sharp, and just a little bitter, Nyjha arrived at the dinner with eyes wide open — and maybe with something more permanent than a microphone.

Clue: A deleted voice memo on Nyjha’s phone recorded Ivy’s final podcast pitch… but why did Nyjha never release it — and why did she edit out the last two minutes?

Amz — The Final Straw

Flower: Thistle (tough love, protection)
“She said I was controlling. I say she needed supervision.”

Amz was always the cousin who had Ivy’s back — the one bailing her out of tight spots and giving the realest advice. But lately, patience was wearing thin. From skipped family events to flippant apologies, Ivy had tested Amz one too many times. Amz arrived at the dinner smiling, but behind that smile were receipts… and a readiness to let the truth bloom.

Clue: Amz intercepted a delivery addressed to Ivy just days before the dinner. Inside was something Ivy didn’t want anyone to see — but Amz held onto it anyway.

Chasity — The Diplomatic Diva

Flower: Calla Lily (elegance, detachment, silent closure)
“You can’t water a garden that’s already dead.”

Chasity was the steady hand in Ivy’s wild world — the friend who kept the lights on and the calendar straight. She was polished, poised, and endlessly patient. But over time, Ivy’s glow-up came with glossed-over apologies and forgotten loyalties. Tonight, Chasity showed up polished and patient as ever… but she brought something stronger than revenge: quiet absence.

Clue: Chasity received a cryptic text from Ivy the night before: “You were always the only one who understood.” No one knows what Ivy was talking about — or if Chasity ever replied.
