In the Cut

Longtime barber Jay Weaver is in for the surprise of his life when Kenny Clark shows up. Kenny is the son Jay never knew he had. At first, they don't get along, but soon Kenny finds a place to fit into Jay's life.

After Jay's best friend, Smitty, suffers a minor fall, Jay decides it's time for his own doctor's check up. However, a misunderstanding leads Kenny and Jay's ex-wife, Nadine, to think that Jay is dying. Because everyone thinks Jay is dying, they treat him extremely nice. But Jay starts getting suspicious and believes they're all out to kill him!

Jay starts dating a young, beautiful woman. But Kenny thinks it too good to be true. In fact, he thinks Jay is being taken advantage of by a gold digger. Is he right, or will he ruin Jay's relationship? Meanwhile, Smitty gets caught up in a dominoes tournament with an old rival. The only thing is Smitty doesn't know how to play the game!

Kenny's past comes back to haunt him: an old flame and a girl who may - or may not - be his daughter. Meanwhile, Smitty starts dating Jay's ex. Not only does Smitty get jealous when he finds out she used to be with Jay, but Nadine starts to get jealous too after seeing her around Jay again.

When Kenny's ex-wife comes back into the picture, we learn that Kenny is technically not yet divorced and still has feelings for his wife! It is very clear to everyone around that her intentions are not genuine. Meanwhile, Jay and Smitty have a falling out over a bet gone wrong that could end their lifelong friendship.

Jay receives a "Dear Jay" letter from his ex-wife Nadine stating that she has deserted her beauty salon and eloped with a wealthy gentleman. Jay seeks to replace her with a qualified candidate that he is smitten by. Kenny is dealing with his own morals as he breaks the barber code and starts secretly cutting the hair of one of Smitty's customers behind his back.
