[Jackie] Previously on Basketball Wives...
Oh, yes.
-Champagne. -A man that knows what I like.
That's how I feel about my fiancee, I love her so much.
-Your fiancee is the... -WNBA player, Natasha Howard.
It gives me anxiety.
We definitely need to talk, for sure.
-I wanna invite y'all. -Okay.
I would love to meet her.
You just kinda appeared, so we didn't know...
I don't think nobody needs to know.
That's what she talking about so I'm cosigning that.
-Nobody is saying-- -Why you standin' up?
-Cause I want to. -I can stand up too, though.
I don't give a [bleep] what you can do.
-I been called worse by better. -Oh [bleep]!
Oh [bleep], no!
[theme music]
[music]
[doorbell rings]
-Hi. Welcome back! -Okay, Nipples.
[laughing]
I'm just getting back from Florida. I pick Leo up from Amy.
I was out there celebrating Shenice's 30th birthday.
And I am officially back in town.
[doorbell rings]
-Go, go. -You want me to get it?
-Yeah. -Okay, okay.
-Hey girl. -Hi.
Hi, baby.
You're back.
I invited Jennifer and Brooke over because apparently
I have missed a lot while I was out of town,
so I wanna hear what has been happening.
So you guys went ice skating? Y'all all look frozen.
Jen and I were very warm. We didn't get on the ice.
We sat back and had drinks. And oh, Clayanna came in.
Ugh...
[laughs]
So I'm just like, girl, like, "Where did you come from?
Like, who are you friends with?"
She kind of getting a little rah-rah.
Yeah. And then [bleep] went [bleep] left.
So then your girl Brittany chimes in.
Bangin' on the table with a bottle in her hand.
And when she started bangin' on the table,
it started to trigger me, so I stood up.
It was not warranted, at all.
I didn't stand up like, in an aggressive way.
Then she's like,
"What the [bleep] are you standing up for?"
Woo, woo, woo. And then the bitch throws a drink in my face.
No, she didn't.
First of all--
And it got on me too, but I'm cool.
I know Brooke and I know Brooke is gonna wanna beat her ass
for the rest of her life.
I was not even talking to her. Like, she jumped in the [bleep].
It was--it was really me and Clayanna.
Which, by the way, this bitch hits me up.
-Who? Clayanna? -Yes. And wants to meet up.
-About what? -I have no idea.
[Evelyn] Where are you gonna go, please?
[laughing]
I just wanna know one-- two things.
How did you get here? And are you a side bitch?
'Cause I don't know.
You're gonna ask a bitch, "Are you a side piece?"
I'm gonna be like, "I heard you was a side piece."
This is gonna go great.
[laughing]
Girl, forget about Clayanna. I wanna know about your trip.
It was a good trip. I had a good, good trip.
I had a lot to think about because...
This whole wedding thing. We're in a weird space.
[Jennifer] What changed?
I feel like once we started started like planning wedding,
the anxiety that I started getting.
I'm withdrawing from him.
I've been having a little apprehension
when it comes to getting married.
And I feel like it's connected to my first marriage.
And there is some trauma there that I feel like
now that we're talking about a wedding, I have anxiety.
Have y'all talked?
He'll be in town soon.
And we just really, really have like, a heart to heart.
Wait. I gotta put my feet up
I'm gonna need to get in your face.
Like, girl, what?
I think my concern is, is that is he willing to
wait until I work out--
You can't be concerned with that.
If he's not willing, then he's not the one.
Right.
It's been a minute since Evelyn and I have had
these close conversations. It feels good.
It's like things are slowly getting back to normal.
So what's going on with the-- Okay, so--
We're not skipping over your [bleep].
Bitch, I already laid it on the table. I'm the runaway bride.
I don't know what I'm doing. I have to talk to Lavon. TBD.
I'll keep y'all bitches posted.
[laughing]
[music]
-Hello. -Hey, girl.
-You look so nice. -Good to see you.
Oh, you smell good. Is it Chanel?
-Yes. -Oh yeah, girl.
I got two bottles. I love you.
Yes, yes. I love it. It smells nive.
Natasha's party coming up and I'm trying to finalize
this guest list, but Clayanna is one of those people I just
don't know if I should let come.
-How are you doing? -I'm good. I'm good.
How are you feeling after all the craziness at iceskating?
Aside from me busting my ass, I enjoyed--I enjoyed myself.
She know how to skate.
Oh, she fell!
I'm a little purple, but it was fun.
It was fun.
Then, you know, stuff just went left.
One of the things that escalated the conversation was when um,
Jennifer, she was like,
"Okay, so what's your name and who invited you to the group?
And I'm like, "I'm Clayanna."
And then that just took on pretty much a life of its own.
Like, once you come into my personal space, it's like,
"Yo, like, you're antagonizing me." Like, I mean, like, listen,
I'm unapologetically from the hood.
I left that energy a long time ago.
So to be in a space where I have to resort back to that,
I can't do that.
Like, I don't feel like I need anybody's acceptance.
Right.
I'm always essentially open-minded when it comes to
new environments and meeting people.
But the second that I feel like you're not being receptive
to who I am, I back up because I feel like you
already have your preconceived notions about me.
If everybody would have just backed out for a second,
-like you said listen-- -Listen, listen, listen.
We gotta learn how to listen.
But I think it's that thing, it's like, just because you're
the loudest one in the room, that does not make you right.
I'm trying to just figure out what we need to do to get
everybody on the same page.
Natasha's coming, and I'm planning on a dinner party
for them and her teammates.
I miss my fiancee, Natasha so much.
She's constantly traveling with the WNBA.
That's why I'm trying to throw this party for her.
It's really, really important to me.
You know, what I'm saying? To have a good environment
with them there. I need you to--
I got you. I'm totally comfortable sitting down
with Jennifer, getting to know her on a more personal level.
And hopefully, you know, likewise that she's interested
in, you know, getting to know me.
I hope so.
[music]
♪ Said she wanted to be my main chick ♪
♪ All the girls wanna be my main chick ♪
-Hey. -Hey.
Look at them, babe. Look what he's doing.
Today Christian and I are gonna look at some puppies.
You know, my heart is set on a teacup poodle,
but I am going to be fair and look at some other
breeds for Christian.
Oh, boy.
Look at y'all.
Okay, try that one on for size.
Hey. How are you doin'?
-Oh, you wanna cuddle. -That's a snuggler.
You wanna cuddle, don't you?
So I'll let you all check these guys out and have fun.
All right. Thank you so much.
[music]
Uh-uh, not my toe. I just got my nails done, okay?
Can you sit? Can you sit? Oh my God. He's such a good--
I can't believe you got me actually wanting to get a dog.
It's gonna be different because I haven't had a dog
since Gia. And Gia was with me for almost 17 years.
She was the closet thing to me, right?
Like went through my ups and downs, me losing my mom,
divorce. And so, there's no replacement for her.
So I just didn't feel like I would ever be ready.
When you get a dog with someone, it's a huge deal because
you can't break up, right?
Because what are you gonna do, like doggie custody?
No, that's weird.
I guess we'll just keep looking until we find the right match.
[puppy whines]
[music]
-Hey. Ooh, the body. -Girl.
-I love your hair. -I love everything.
Girl.
How are you doin'?
-Oh, truly well. -Do you want a drink?
-Why not? -How have you been?
-Good. -Good.
How about you?
I'm great, but when you made me go iceskating,
and we got to having fun, even when Jackie was out there,
Jackie, Vanessa. That's what I'm saying.
It just was like, so energetic.
There was just so many good vibes.
But after all that, the chaos started.
Yeah. That why it was kind of weird that it went from
one extreme to the next for me.
-You're drunk and sloppy. -Sloppy?
Yeah, you're drunk and you're sloppy.
-Sloppy? -Yeah, yeah.
Might want to talk to your surgeon then.
And it had nothing to do with, I was too drunk.
The energy was not right. It just wasn't right.
So, yeah, you stand over me, then we're just.
We're going to do what we need to do. It's gonna get there.
I didn't like the name-calling and the body shaming.
But at the end of the day I feel like y'all both was wrong.
Should have never stood up.
If she would have never stood up, y'all would have argued
across from each other. And it would've been good.
But I still don't like you threw the drink.
I don't want to go somewhere 24/7 and we're beefing.
My thing is, where do we go from here because
how she been coming on.
And I want everything to be right for her.
My girl's gotta be on their best behavior because they
cannot embarrass me in front of my fiancee and her team, okay?
I will never live that down.
Is there no way that we can get past it and still do stuff
without being angry at each other, arguing and
fighting with each other?
Yeah. I've already moved on.
But I'm not looking for an apology from her.
And she shouldn't be waitin' on an apology from me
because don't hold your breath. Blue ain't your color.
[Jackie] Coming up on Basketball Wives.
Hey, baby. [laughs]
There's been a little chaos in the group.
Anybody with that bull[bleep] gotta go.
I wake up every single day with a fire that is lit inside of me.
I know that, that flame can start on simmer and
go all the way to [bleep] high.
-Why are you here? -You're trash.
-Oh, I'm trash? -You're irrelevant.
You're hangin' on by a thread. Hangin' on by a thread.
You have nothing.
[music]
-It's so hot outside. -Did you bring the sunshine?
You did.
But you know, I do have a crick in my neck.
Can you tell? Am I like, being stiff?
Yes. I need you to get right.
Will you come massage it? I don't know about--
-Hello. -Hi.
What can I get you today?
We would love two mimosas. Right, babe?
Go heavy on the champagne, light on the juice.
Christian, he's different from everybody else
that I have dated. He compliments me.
He dates me every day. And his fly matches my fly.
-Cheers. -Cheers, baby.
[music]
-That's good. -For real.
So, Jac'eil, I told you about her.
She's engaged to a WNBA player. Her fiancee is in town,
and so she's having an event. And I want you to come.
I want you to be there. I want you to meet the girls.
I wanna say it should be cool, but I don't--
I don't know if I wanna stand on that.
If we anticipate drama or no drama,
I'm still gonna be there to support you so...
Thank you.
Woo, I am on the fence about bringing Christian
around these ladies. It's a lot of drama.
And I don't want him to be around drama.
I want it to be peaceful, but it seems like every time
the ladies get together, it's some bull[bleep].
So let's talk puppies. You know I want a teacup poodle.
You know what I want and I--
But I don't want like, a big dog. I don't wanna have to
pick up big [bleep]. Like, it's just weird.
I think the smaller, the better.
In this case. Not a-- not a lot of cases.
Not in regards to our house, a ring.
You know certain things, bigger the better.

-So how was your flight? -It was good. Long.
Well, welcome to L.A. This is our spot, honey.
It's nice. Nice.
I am super excited to finally have my baby,
Natasha here with me in L.A.
Me and Natasha met a year ago in Las Vegas.
She was playing for a USA team. And it was love at first sight.
I already knew then Natasha was my soulmate
because when we first started talking,
it was all about Prince.
As a mother, when somebody come in full force for your kid,
it's different.
-Damn. This view is nice. -It is nice. It's really nice.
Yeah, it is.
I'm excited about you being here, I miss you.
I missed you more. I'm happy I'm here.
I'm excited about your party.
Everybody's excited to meet Natasha, Big Tash.
When me and Natasha got together, we were together
for like, four months and she was just like,
"Have you ever thought about getting married?"
And I'm like, "Girl, yeah.
Like, you won't get nothing' better than this."
It's been a little chaos in the group,
but I'm gonna pray that the [bleep] gets better.
And I don't tell you a lot 'cause I just feel like
you don't need all that on you anyway so--
Anybody with that bull[bleep] gotta go.
Even though you're not gonna be here long,
but any little time with you matters.
-So I'm just happy you're here. -Yeah. Me, too.
It's hard, but I'm proud of you.
Thank you. I'm proud of you, too.
-I love you. -I love you more.
Give me some lips.
This is where we're livin' at, L.A.
We're on the top of the world.
Yeah, yeah. This is scary though.
-Really? -I'm scared of heights.
[music]
[knocking on door]
-What? -Hi there.
-Oh, my gosh. -For you, mama.
I got a pop-up. Oh, thank you.
How are you feeling?
These are beautiful.
I know you didn't expect me, but I was like,
"You know what? I'm going 'cause you said I could."
-I said it and I meant it. -Oh, my God, Brooke.
How are you feeling this morning?
I'm feeling fabulous. Have a seat.
-Oh, my God. -Do you want some wine?
I want--yes, champagne, wine, anything you got.
I really feel like with Brooke and I's relationship sometimes
it goes up and down, but after sitting with her and talking,
we decided we were gonna put ourselves in a better place.
-I have something for you. -You do?
Girl, you got something for me other than this good-ass wine?
Other than this wine because even for everyone
who was not able to show up, I made sure that they were
able to get a book from Kayla.
It's not an obituary. It's a book.
And this is what I gave to all of the guests
and was at the service.
[music]
I'm so sorry.
Thank you.
This is a beautiful tribute to Kayla.
This woman has lost her daughter.
And the pain that Brooke must be feeling
and how strong she is to be able to even put this book together
and to share it with me, it means a lot to me.
I appreciate you.
It hurts my heart that I wasn't there for you in such a--
Hold on...
In such a personal moment. I'm honored to be your friend.
-I'm really here for you. -Thank you.
And if you get into it with these girls,
-I will fight for you. -I know.
And I really appreciate that, Jackie.
Especially, after the other day at iceskating.
I know it was out of control.
Do you feel like I was combative when I stood up?
I felt like you stood up and was trying to still conversate.
-Yes. -And it was like, okay,
it's elevating and she threw the drink.
At that point, I felt like your retaliation was warranted.
Let me tell you something, I wake up every single day
with a fire that is lit inside of me from the anger that
I have from losing my daughter. And this is why I go to therapy.
And I know that, that flame can start on simmer
and go all the way to [bleep] high, like, seriously.
I know.
Brooke and I have been able to move forward
and I feel good about that.
But it's unfortunate because now, another pair in the group
has fallen apart, Brooke and Brittany.
And I don't know how I'm gonna help put this
thing back together.
We gonna have to figure this out.
But guess what?
Sometimes, bitches gotta be put in their [bleep] place.
And that's how I feel about her right now.
[Jackie] Coming up on Basketball Wives.
You know I just feel like maybe slow down.
The idea of me getting married again, it's just anxiety.
Girl, you better get the [bleep] outta my face.
-First of all-- -Don't walk up on me.
'Cause you're gonna have a problem.
[music]
-Hello. -Hi, how are you?
I'm doing well. How are you doing?
Well. Welcome to OldVine. How can I help you today?
I'm looking for some beautiful flowers.
I'm having a party for my fiancee and her team.
Okay. Is it at home or is it gonna be--
It's gonna be at a venue.
-It's gonna be at a venue? -Yeah.
So I love this rose. It smells so good.
And roses are like, you know, everybody loves roses.
I love these, too.
I wanna see what my girls think, too 'cause I need their opinion.
Okay.
The vision I have for this party for Natasha is
I want it to be very nice. I want it to be elegant.
I wanted to show my appreciation towards her.
And I do not want no drama, okay?
I most definitely want greenery even if--it can be mixed with--
Mixed in a flower arrangement. Okay.
-Hey, girl. -These are my friends.
-Hi, ladies. -Hi, how's it going?
Let me know if you need any help.
-And I'll let you guys chat. -Thank you so much.
So what? What colors are you doing?
I wanna do white. I love white.
-I feel like it's-- -It's giving wedding vibes.
Is it giving wedding?
Oh, Natasha came in town early.
Surprise.
I didn't get none last night.
Can't do nothin' before the game.
I'm really curious. How does that work?
Is it like a--
Say it, we grown!
-Is it a strap-on or? -Yes.
[laughing]
Okay, listen. What do you want to know, honey?
So that was it? Was just the one way thing, right? It's just--
That's one way.
You don't ever do the double way?
Hold on. What do you mean double way?
There's one long one that--
Oh! You say I get on and she get on?
Yeah.
Hell no.
I didn't know. I'm sorry.
-That's kinda lit. -Yeah.
So you kinda like go--
[laughing]
How are you and Natasha having sex?
You know how two females have sex, Miss girl.
Well, I still didn't get none, but I tried.
I tried this morning.
So is it gonna be tonight then?
Oh, most definitely. Okay, tonight.
Yeah. All night. Look, I love y'all.
This is the vibe. Like, I love the vibe.
Now where are you and Brooke at? Are you guys good now?
-Or? -No. We're nothing.
So there has not been any dialogue between Brooke and I.
The thing is, though about your event, I'm actually not gonna
be able to be there because I have a hosting in Dallas.
-I know. I know. -You're like my bitch.
I know. I'm sad.
Although my child's father plays in the NBA, the rumors and
what people think I'm getting in child support are untrue.
And I work very hard to make my money and I love hosting
because it gives me the opportunity to shake my rump,
have fun, take selfies.
And it's a really cool way to connect with the people
that support me.
No, honestly, I am sad that I'm gonna miss it.
So yeah, I wannna do white probably,
but I want plants as well.
I think this would be really good for her.
-She's very lucky to have you. -Thank you, baby.
[music]
I have no idea why this girl, Calana--what's her name?
Kaylana? I don't even know her name.
I call her Colonic because I think she's full of [bleep].
So I have no idea why this chick, Colonic
wants to meet with me.
Maybe she's gonna give me a straight answer about why
she's here or how she got here. But I doubt it.
-Hey, girl. -Hi. Very nice to see you.
-How are you? -I'm wonderful.
-How are you? -I'm good.
Oh, boy. So you wanted to meet up.
I'm trying to just you know, feel out the room.
Because you were the ones that were saying,
"Who are you with? Or who's bringing you in?
That whole energy.
So those actually weren't my words. It was just like--
No, you asked me, "So who brought you into this group?"
[music]
I think you took it the wrong way. It was literally like,
I am trying to figure out how do you know X, Y, and Z
that you would end up at the iceskating rink,
but you made it seem like it was something negative.
-Because it was not negative. -I never said that.
But you did get that energy because you actually got
Brittany going.
Listen, Brittany's her own person.
-It was very-- -Brittany's her own person.
I didn't get Brittany doing nothing.
When I just was asking questions.
I put out aggressive energy?
Yeah. When I was asking you like, who do you know?
You definitely got aggressive.
So who do you know? Why are you here?
What do you mean? Why am I here?
What I just said. Who do you know?
-I know everybody. -Okay, so why are you here?
Why are you here?
I'm asking you why are you here?
'Cause we're all friends and we hang out.
Why?
Oh, my God. Girl, who the hell are you?
That's what we're all trying to figure out.
Why are you friends with people?
Because we have things in common.
What do you have in common with a woman?
-We were all wives at one point. -Okay. How long?
-The majority? -How long?
Girl, I'm not doing an interview with you.
-Do you have kids? -No, I don't.
A big thing with Jennifer is she can dish it,
but she can't take it. You are a grown-ass woman.
So if you come and see me with that energy,
I'm going to meet you where you are.
And how long ago were you married?
-It doesn't matter. -It--very well matters.
Were you ever married 'cause I heard you were a side bitch.
No, no. Never.
It looks like you're just trying to be--
I'm trying to be what? Girl, I was a basketball wife.
For what? Two years? One year? Two years?
You have no kids.
I was with my man for a whole decade.
What man was he? What's his name?
Why do you--why does it matter?
-Because he was never relevant. -And you were?
You don't get to question me. You don't get to question
what I've done, who I've been married to, who am I.
Oh, no, no, no, no, no.
You're trying to get a seat at the table, not me, honey.
And you were?
My daughter's father was and is relevant.
-You're a side girl. -No, baby.
Do your research. My daughter's 14.
-Isn't he married? -He got married three years.
Do your homework. Do your homework.
You're dirt. You're trash.
-Oh, I'm trash? -You're irrelevant.
Okay.
You're hanging on by a thread. You have nothing.
I think that's you.
You were married 10 years ago.
You're delusional.
Girl, you were married 10 years ago. Nothing. Girl, bye.
You're irrelevant.
You're hanging on by a thread.
I think it said a lot to Jen's character when she got up
and walked away. She's a coward.
Bitch, you set the house on fire and then now that the house is
burning, you're gonna always find the closest exit.
That's sad, quite frankly.
Girl, 10 years ago you were married for 20 minutes.
Girl, you're trash. I got a daughter.
Yes, 10 years ago.
Girl, you better get the [bleep] outta my face.
-First of all-- -Then don't walk up on me.
-Wow. -Problem. Don't do that.
[Jennifer] Wow, wow, wow.
[music]
This bitch done lost her--
And she put her [bleep] hands on me. Wow.

Oh, my God. Girl, I gotta tell you about this chick, Clayanna.
She invites me to like, go have lunch, drinks,
sit down with her, whatever.
So I got to meet with her whatever. She's acting weird.
I really like Jac'eil. I'm getting to know her
and we're building a frienship, so I just wanna be straight up
and honest with her, so I have to tell her like,
listen, if Clayanna is coming to the party, I'm not going.
She starts getting more and more defensive.
Okay.
So I feel this is getting progressively worse,
so I get up to leave.
She is yelling all kinds of [bleep].
-Yelling? -In the restaurant.
There's people around, so I walk out.
So she comes like, right up to me.
Like she's like, this is my face.
And I'm just like, okay.
She takes two hands and pushed me in the chest.
Jennifer, are you serious right now?
I'm dead ass. Dead ass. I tell no lies.
I don't know what's going on with Clayanna because when
we're one-on-one, everything is good.
Once she get around everybody else,
it's like, she go in defense mode.
Okay. This is crazy.
Are you guys gonna be able to kick it at the party?
I can't be around her. I just can't.
If she's there, I can't go.
I'm just like, this is so much [bleep] to take in right now.
-I know. I'm sorry. -I'm like--
I'm sorry to pile this on you, but I had to tell you.
And I wanted-- Listen. Okay.
I really want this to be nice for Tasha.
And I want us to have a good time.
I don't want us to argue. I want us to be in a good space
even when we're not having a party.
Well, if she's there, it's not gonna be a good space.
Because she's a [bleep] bad apple.

- [Lavon] You look amazing. - [Evelyn] Thank you.
You know, trying to look like I'm on a date.
You know, I'll be looking homeless on those FaceTimes.
You are on a date. You look good on the FaceTime so...
I haven't seen Lavon in one month,
but it is a perfect opportunity for us to sit down
and have this conversation that is much needed.
How is everything?
There's been so much drama going on.
Yeah, like, I kind of told you a little bit,
but like, it's been a lot of that's going on.
Everything good? Are you good?
-No, I'm not. -Okay.
To be fully honest, I feel overwhelmed.
You know, although, Carl and I, we were engaged,
we didn't get close to a wedding.
You know, we were like, eight months shy from the date.
And then I called it off.
And then with this, we've been close several times.
And every time I get close to it, it's just anxiety.
And it's not because I'm questioning who you are.
Do you understand what I'm saying?
It's something about...
The idea of me getting married again that really
bothers me.
I think because of how we met on television,
six months later we get engaged, so whatever it was.
So with my ex, the one I married,
it was sort of the same, you know?
It was like we met because of television.
And we had this big wedding and it was like,
"Oh, my God, everybody is celebrating me."
To then, three weeks later, I'm in the press.
Everybody is talking about me and it wasn't positive.
I had to take that, and it was really difficult.
I don't wanna cry about this.
It's all right. It's cool.
-It was really difficult. -It's all right. It's cool.
And then I'm meeting with an attorney.
So it was like, emotionally, that [bleep] was [bleep].
I don't know if this is triggering for me,
the whole wedding, you know what I'm saying?
But now that I'm dealing with this
and this [bleep] is like, the real thing, it's like,
a lot has happened, right?
-Yeah. -Yeah.
We're talking about buying a home.
We're talking about your-- your child possibly moving here.
Like, all those things, it's like, it hasn't even
been fully a year. You know, I just feel like maybe slow down.
I don't expect for you to just sit around and wait.
-But, you know-- -I think getting married
a second time is really scary. And for me, being married so
long and it didn't work, I often sometimes feel the
pressure of what if it doesn't work again?
So um, maybe we just pump the brakes a little bit.
Lavon has done everything right.
And it's difficult 'cause I just don't want to hurt his feelings.
But at the same time, I also want to be real with him
and let him know how I'm feeling.
How about if we just wanted to be together?
-For you and I? -Without the marriage?
-Without the legal paper. -Really?
[laughing]
I'm asking you. You know?
It's like, yeah, how do you feel about--
You can't be that scared.
So you gotta get over that.
But how about if I err?
How about if I don't get over it?
Yeah. That's not gonna fly.
So right now, it will. Long-term, no.
[music]
Yeah.
Let's take it day by day, month by month.
We'll keep it slow.
And as we feel it, we'll kick it up or not.
That's good.
[music]
Oh, my God. This is so beautiful.
Oh, my God. Look at the food.
Little spread.
I'm so excited. I know my fiancee is gonna be excited.
Everything is looking great.
The chef is over there doing his thing
and I hope the only heat tonight is from his food.
[music]
-Ooh. -Hey.
-Hi, pretty. -Go Wings.
-You look beautiful. -Hi.
I'm proud of you. It looks good.
I want ya'll to come see the food.
-I like this ponytail. -Thank you.
-You did this yourself? -This is a six-minute hairdo.
-No. -No.
-You did an amazing job. -Thank you.
-Good to see you. -Hey. I haven't seen you.
-Nice to see you. -Hi, mama.
-Hey. -Hi.
-You look gorgeous. -Thank you.
What are we--just chilling?
We're getting prosecco.
My ladies are here, but Vannessa and Evelyn
are in the same space, and they are good.
Natasha and the team are on their way.
And I'm ready to get this party started.
[music]
-Hi. -Hey.
I know that's right.
Okay, hand-in-hand.
Hey.
This is Jac'eil.
Stand over there.
I'm excited that Christian gets to meet the ladies.
I'm just hoping that everybody is on their best behavior.
But this is my person, so I want him to meet everyone.
You know, I do.
Then I get closer to Christian to find out what's going on.
-Oh. -This is not an interview.
-Oh, Lord. -Okay, okay.
She gave me my cue. It's not an interview.
Okay.
Jackie, what is in your brain?
This energy. I'm enjoying it.
Okay, so how'd y'all meet?
Yeah, Christian. How did ya'll meet?
[indistinct conversation]
We were living in the same building.
Um, I got off the elevator, so I walk, I see Jen.
And it was just like this energy exchange.
[Evelyn] So Lavon went back to Atlanta,
and as much as I need space,
I can't help but to be sad. I'm around a bunch of love.
And I just feel the sadness about it.
I ended up reaching out to her the following day,
and we've been inseparable since.
-Aww. -Yeah.
This is so amazing.
And I didn't--I didn't-- I didn't want it.
I wasn't seeking it, but--
Right 'cause they say when a man finds a wife,
he finds a good thing.
-Yes, honey. -Well, that's coming soon.
-Oh! -Oh!
Jen is whole sexy ass, bougie ass, cougar.
And you have kids, right? You have two kids she said.
Yes, I have an almost two year old
and an almost one year old.
Oh, wow, so they-- So they little.
[Christian] Twelve months apart.
So you got 'em out of the way. That's good.
Yeah. I mean, maybe if, you know, God willing.
-I mean-- -Oh, my God.
We had this conversation earlier.
Okay. He said he has a kid almost one and almost two.
And then he's talking about marrying Jennifer.
It's already not making sense to me.
The math really ain't mathin' here.
-We might just get a puppy. -I heard about the puppy.
A puppy's good, Jen.
We actually put down a deposit on one today.
We have found the perfect puppy, and we're excited to be growing
our little family.
So it's just us, right?
That's coming now as far as like, the clique?
[music]
Just us.
Brittany coming?
This is the group here, okay?
Brittany has an event. She's not gonna be here.
Clayanna, she's not gonna be here.
Thank God.
After Jennifer told me about Clayanna pushing her,
yeah, you can't come tonight.
It's nothing against you. It's nothing against nobody.
But there's gonna be no violence.
So unfortunately, you just can't be there.
I'm happy you okay.
I do feel kind of bad that I had to uninvite Clayanna,
but I know I made the right choice.
This is gonna be amazing.
Oh, my God. This should be fun, calm. No drinks being thrown.
Yes. No one gets their hands put on them.
[music]
Hey, baby.
It's like you guys are walking through the tunnel of the game.
Hey.
[indistinct greetings]
Hey, baby.
[music]
Everything just freakin' came together and I'm super excited.
As y'all know, this is Natasha's first party she every had.
Oh, I'm ready to party.
It's really important to her to be here with her team
and my crew.
[Brooke] This is so nice.
So the bar is there. The food is there.
Okay, party time.
[music]
So I heard that you guys had a game yesterday
and you played really hard.
We don't wanna talk about that game.
They don't wanna talk about that game.
We lost.
Look at coach. She's over here hiding.
She's hiding in the corner.
You guys played really hard and good.
Yes, ya'll did.
[music]
-Are y'all having fun? -This is so refreshing.
You know, it really is.
[laughing]
But no, it's cute.
It's really nice and she did a really good job.
-She did. -She did.
Did you hear about what happened with Jen and Clayanna?
I heard what happened on the blogs. And you know, I usually
know everything that's going on. And I didn't.
Yeah. No, it was just do unwarranted and uncalled for.
I'm just happy her mother[bleep] ass ain't here.
-Me, too. -I wouldn't have been here.
I'ma tell you right now.
It's been so much drama amongst the ladies,
I really feel like I need to do something.
I need to get these women together
and try to figure out how to make us all get along.
[music]
We're coming to sit with you.
-Ah, man. -Hi.
I'm gonna sit on your lap.
Come on now. What did I hear?
Leave my man alone. He's off limits.
You sit your ass on that couch over there.
[laughing]
I can sit on his lap.
Okay, good.
[music]
-Hi. -How's the food?
Good.
Are you having a good party?
I am. I am. I just wanted to say thank you. Appreciate y'all for
coming and also, you know, it's having my girl's back, too when
I'm not here and stuff because I know she's been sad without me.
And friends being there for her, I really appreciate that.
I really, really do.
-She's awesome. -We love her.
Yeah. She's been like, no drama, just a general, just a good--
She don't like drama. I don't like drama either so...
You don't like drama?
We don't like drama.
I'm like, all right. See you later.
Finding true, genuine love is not an easy task.
Natasha seems to make Jac'eil very happy.
And I'm happy for her because I feel like
they have what Christian and I have, true love.
So Jen said you're in finance?
Yes, I do portfolio management. I invest for people.
I went to school for fashion.
Like, I never saw myself doing like investing.
Do you know what I mean, so...
Jennifer has been through a lot of ups and downs
in relationships. She done had somebody stole her car.
She was messing around with Timmy Thick Thighs
who ended up in jail.
Like, she's had some interesting guys in her past, so hopefully,
you know, this works out with Christian.
But it's cool, though.
-I'm able to spoil her. -Oh yeah, I'm sure.
-Evelyn, where's your ring? -You're not wearing it.
In the safe.
I'm like the runaway bride at this point.
She ain't ready.
-You're not ready? -Nope.
-He's ready? -Yes.
When I started thinking about a wedding, I was like, I can't--
I don't think I can do this.
When did this happen?
It's just--it's been going on. We said we were gonna like,
pace ourselves. It's just a lot of things.
I feel bad, but I don't wanna end up divorced again.
[music]
[Jackie] Next time on Basketball Wives.
I don't know how I drink that much
-and then do it all over. -[laughs]
Me and Brooke talked.
She was like, Brittany's saying my body was botched.
That's why I said something about her body.
If we're gonna talk about it, we have to tell the truth.
We find this dog online.
Come to find out, it's all a scam.
I started to investigate her boyfriend.
-He did 10 years in prison. -No, he didn't.
It's not her business.
Jen's gonna tear her ass up.
