[Jackie] Previously on Basketball Wives...
-When's the wedding? -Uh...
Uh, we don't know about that.
Everything is literally up in the air.
I wanna bring a gift out for you to congratulate you.
[cheers and applause]
You didn't even give him a hug, girl, or a kiss.
-I'm not kissing. -Oh!
Is that offer still open for us to go to Houston?
I would love to have a convo with your husband.
[Shaunie] Of course! I would love to have you guys.
I know you're really excited for purchasing that gym,
-but... -Oh, shoot, what?
The offer was rejected.
Aw...
I've never had a relationship like this.
-Really? -Aw...
You know, we talk about marriage.
Really, Jen?
We would be happy to have you in here.
That's major.
This feels like a match made in heaven.
Yes!
This is such a hostile environment.
I can't give this my energy anymore.
Like, I'm done.
[theme music]
[music]
[Tennis instructor] You guys are gonna swing and then rotate.
Okay!
That was perfect.
Yeah, Brooke, swing hard!
There it is, Jen! There it is.
Jackie's doing ballet and tennis.
[laughter]
Like, what is this?
Hard!
Yes!
I'm sorry.
Out the park!
This is not baseball.
Thank you.
Whoo! Nice!
Girl, this is fun.
After the pop-up shop, a part of me just feels like
everything is weighing on me,
thinking about how Lavon showed up,
he did such an amazing job with the pop-up shop.
But there's something that just doesn't feel right.
I don't know if I'm in a place
where I can give him what he needs
and what he deserves.
How you feelin', Ev? You feelin' better?
-I'm feelin' all right. -Feelin' all right?
Yeah, just been so tired and just...
-kind of just...I need rest. -Yeah, trust me--
Like, mentally I'm just, like--I'm drained.
-The pop-up shop-- -How was it?
-It was good! -It was really good.
So was Lavon there?
What's really going on with you guys?
You know, I think that obviously
we've been saying this whole time,
like, oh okay, maybe, you never know, give it some time,
but it's actually going in the other direction of
chances are this is about to really be over.
-Right, right. -I'm just gonna tell you,
I had been waiting to talk to him
because I've heard nothin' but good things about him,
and he lived up to that.
Now, he ain't everything that Evelyn needs, so I get that.
But I think at the end of the day,
it's Evelyn's decision, and I'mma respect that.
Thinking about this too, I feel like Pastor Keion,
like, he has so much wisdom.
We did the premarital counseling with them before.
And I feel like I wanna have a conversation with him.
I need somebody to say you're doing the right thing, you know?
Like, I don't know why. Just like, okay, cool.
So because I was thinking about going over to Houston,
I had talked to Shaunie, and she was like,
well, why don't you bring the girls down?
So how do you guys feel about us going to Houston?
-That sounds fun! -We can go to church.
I'm like, do I have to bring church clothes?
You do, and it just does.
-We should do it. -It'll be fun.
I think the trip to Houston will be good.
Evelyn's gonna get some healing.
We're gonna have some fun girl time.
And, whew, hopefully be drama free.
[overlapping voices]
[laughter]
Y'all wanna drive?
How many hours does that take?
I don't care, if it's anything over three, I can't.
I don't wanna be in the car with you for 12 hours.
[bleep] y'all!

It has good energy. It seems like a good one.
Thanks for coming and checking it out with me.
You know, Isaiah's still in Arizona,
but I'm going to text Ruben, girl,
and we are going to get this ball rollin'.
[Elise] Woo-hoo.
[music]
Hey there, ladies. Welcome in.
Hi, how are you? Thank you.
We need something strong.
[laughs]
We're gonna both do the Hot and Ready.
Thank you.
-How's Shai? -Shai's good.
She's doing her yoga thing, working.
She does a lot of, like, house calls.
Like, she'll go to you and she'll do it.
-I love that. -Yeah.
Ooh, thank you!
[Bartender] You're very welcome, ladies.
-Cheers. -Cheers...
to see why Christian brought us here.
I know, so what the hell?
Before going to Houston, Christian reached out.
He wanted to meet with me and Brooke.
And I have no idea why he wants to have a conversation with us.
-So he's walkin' in. -Okay.
What's up, y'all? Good afternoon.
-Hi! -How you doin'?
-Y'all look nice. -Thank you.
-Good to see you too. -What's up, Ev?
-How are you? -Good, how are you?
-Good. -We started without you.
What y'all drinkin'?
-Something good. -Yeah, it's delicious.
-Bottle of Stella. -Bottle of Stella?
-Yeah, that's perfect. -So what's happening?
Tellin' it, man. I'm gotta talk to y'all.
-I'm glad y'all came out. -What's the invite about?
So I, I got something big planned.
Um, and I'm, like, nervous as [bleep].
But I'm, in fact, proposing, so...
-[Brooke] Really? -Oh!
-[Christian] Yeah. -[Brooke] Oh my goodness.
So of course I want y'all there.
I have her friends flying in from, like, New York.
-Really? -And...
I know y'all going to Houston, so while y'all are there,
it'll give me time to get everything together.
So I need y'all to bring everyone together.
Okay. You already picked out the ring?
Ring is almost ready.
It's 9 carat, though. It's a pear.
-Ooh! -Jennifer's gonna like that!
Well, honey, Christian said he got Jen a 9-carat ring,
so I'm really not mad at it.
I probably would say yes too.
Have you ever been married?
-No, first time. -[Brooke] First time.
I'm nervous. But I'm excited.
Yeah, of course nervous is normal.
I understand people don't get it.
I'm 30. Jen is going on 48.
It's a huge gap.
How do you know Jen's the one?
[Christian] Me and Jen just click,
and she gets me. Yeah, we have our differences,
but we always, you know, compromise
or reach a common ground.
So, yeah, Jen is-- she's amazing, man.
All of my relationships have been toxic
leading up to this one.
I went to prison behind a toxic relationship.
[Brooke] Really?
Never put my hands on her, right?
I'm blocking the door.
So I'm trying to have a conversation.
It gets heated. Bottles are thrown, right?
It gets to the point where I'm just like, you know what?
If you wanna leave, you can leave.
-Right. -[Christian] Right?
I packed my stuff. I left--
[Brooke] How old were you?
I was 20 years old.
Oh, you guys were babies.
Never had been in trouble before,
-so of course I'm scared. -Right.
And of course the judge had it out for me.
She sent me to prison.
So this is trauma I'm still dealing with today.
-[Evelyn] Right. -Right?
Like...I'm in a cell for three and a half years.
Jen knows every, like, secrets no one knows.
Like, things that I haven't told anyone else,
but I feel comfortable telling Jen this stuff.
And like I said, we've had those uncomfortable conversations.
Is this your first arrest, or you been arrested before?
I've been arrested before.
So my first arrest was I rented a car,
didn't return it on time,
-Grand theft auto. -Right.
[Christian] Of course, I got released the same day.
But other than that, I've never been in trouble
outside of a traffic ticket.
I appreciate Christian being real about his past.
I don't know what to think. He's hard to read sometimes.
You know, it's like, is he giving all the right answers?
Is this really, like, who he is?
I don't know, I mean,
I think it makes me a little nervous for her.
But the reality is, is that we all have baggage.
We all have a past.
But, um, because he has that little detail,
I will keep a very close eye on him.
I hope we're not comin' off like we're bitches.
[Brooke] Right!
We really just want the best for her.
And we want for her to be happy.
There's no judgement there.
I don't think that that's the issue.
The issue is that I [indistinct]
there's a 30-year-old man comin' into her life
and bringin' some extra bull[bleep]
that she didn't need, you know what I'm saying?
At the end of the day, if you hurt Jennifer,
we're gonna hunt you down.
We'll make your life miserable.
[Brooke] Yeah.
We're gonna be worse than a bill collector.
You've got the Bronx and South Central over here, all right?
-I don't want no smoke. -[laughs]
[Jackie] Coming up on Basketball Wives...
We found this amazing location.
Hello? Are you excited?
I don't know, maybe I caught you at a bad time,
but I don't really like the energy
that you're really giving me right now.
I wanted to tell you that Brittany decided
to move back home to North Carolina.
She just felt like this just was not the place for her.
You gotta be kidding me.
Right here. Are you ready?

-We're here! -Look at me!
We just arrived to Houston,
and we are all starving,
so the first stop is we're going to Burns Barbecue,
which is owned by my ex-fiancé, Carl Crawford.
-Hi! -Oh my god!
Oh, it smell good up in here!
Yes, it does!
Carl is my son Leo's father.
And although we're separated, we have a great relationship.
We're really, really good friends.
And it would only make sense for me to go to the restaurant.
This, whatever this is-- listen here, look.
The barbecue sauce...
[Group] Whoo!
[Jackie] That's how good that [bleep] is!
So Carl, you've been the talk of the town, honey.
Well, that's unfortunate. You know, me and Evelyn,
we have a good co-parenting relationship.
-We don't argue about nothin'! -Right.
[Evelyn] Ever, in all the years,
we really didn't have, like, beef.
[Jackie] I got a question.
Do you want that old thang back?
-[laughter, exclaiming] -[Jackie] I need to know!
Do you want that old thang?
Get up! Look at all that!
Don't leave. Don't leave.
Look at all this.
You know what I'm sayin'?
That's yours. That's you right there.
Awwwwwww!
That tells me everything right there.
Look, look!
When they walk away, girl, when they walk away--
Carl is the complete opposite of Lavon.
He's probably more her speed.
I see, like, the friendliness between them.
I don't really see that with Evelyn and Lavon.
Evelyn's smiling, and I'm like...okay.
Can we go back to the hotel and shower?
-Yes! -We have to.
I have sweat rolling down my back.
[music]
[phone ringing]
Hey, Ruben! How are you?
[Ruben] What's up, what's up, what's up?
I just wanted to call and let you know
the offer was submitted...
and they accepted our offer.
Yay!
8,250 square feet to do whatever you wanna do in there.
Okay, all right.
It's definitely taken a little bit longer than I expected.
But finding this location
and seeing that we're moving forward,
I'm really excited about that.
This is huge for me and my family,
and now I just gotta get the husband on board.
- Congratulations to you. -Thank you.
- Uh, no problem at all. -Bye.
Yay!
[music]
Ooh, Tasha, how are you gonna ease up off of her?
-Hey! -[Brooke] Hey, girlfriend!
-How are you doin'? - We are in Houston.
We made it safely.
I wanted to see what you text me about.
[Jac'eil] I want to talk to Brooke
because Brittany is leaving and I'm bothered by it.
And I love Brooke energy, so I feel like
that's who I can go to and talk to if I need to
and she'll listen.
Well, Brittany's goin' home.
[indistinct]
She feel like this move wasn't really for her.
Wow.
I don't know the whole dynamic, but she's gone, Brooke.
Why did she make that decision?
She's not feelin' everything right now.
I felt like we were all trying to embrace her and let her know,
like, I don't know why you feel like you don't fit in.
We've all given you so much grace, you know?
I really thought that we were making strides with her,
especially her and I.
So I'm confused why she made the decision to move back home.
Okay, well, [bleep], I wish her the best.
Well, listen, girl, when we get back from Houston,
Christian is surprising Jen with something,
and I wanna make sure that you come.
We're gonna get dressed up and we're gonna have a good time.
I'll most definitely be there.
[Brooke] Okay, thank you!
-Bye bye. - Bye bye.
[music]
[Group] Shaunie!
I am so excited to be in Houston and to see Shaunie, Keion.
She's so settled. She loves Houston.
So I'm happy for her.
And the girls are just ready to have a great time in Texas.
I am slowly losing my voice today.
I don't know why.
Are you? You been preaching?
I have not.
[laughter]
Should we wait for drinks to come before we start talking?
Wait, you do look like you have some tea.
I know. We wanna know.
So Jac'eil text me.
She was like, you know, when you get a chance,
give me a call or whatever.
And so when I Facetimed her, she just was like,
you know, I wanted to tell you
that Brittany decided to move back home
-to North Carolina. -[gasps]
She just felt like this just was not the place for her.
You gotta be kidding me.
This hurts my heart because
I'm getting to know Brittany
and we are hitting it off,
and she is fabulous and funny.
I told her to come ready to twerk.
[cheering]
And we just did my talk show.
One thing I wanna say to you, Brit,
is you have become very close to my heart,
and I really wanna see Brittany win.
I definitely don't feel it's the end of the line or the story
for Brittany with me.
I just wanna be a listening ear, a big sis, a mentor,
and be there for her.
-I feel bad for Brittany. -Why?
[Jackie] I think saying that she no longer feels
that this is the place for her around this group,
it hurts my heart.
-No, no. -I think it's bigger than us.
She can go to--be with her son.
I think we've been kind. We've been nice.
We've been respectful.
I don't see where I fit in here.
I genuinely care about you as a friend.
How can we make you feel more comfortable within this group?
Listen, I fully understand her wanting to be closer to her son.
But at least you could say something.
But she just doesn't say [bleep],
and she just [bleep] disappears.
I just--now I question everything.
Like, were you ever being authentic being here?
I don't understand.
[Shaunie] It sounds like she's where she wants to be.
So you should be happy for her.
Thank you so much.
So I'm excited to see Pastor Keion,
'cause I feel like with Lavon,
I don't know if I'm going or coming.
I like Lavon!
I know, I do too!
It's just do I love Lavon?
I feel a disconnect.
And I don't wanna just get married,
you know what I mean?
Part of me feels a little guilty because--
He's so nice.
He's so nice and he's so good to me,
so I'm like, girl, what the hell is wrong?
Everybody loves Lavon, including my daughter.
A part of me feels like
I'm blocking my own blessings at times,
but I don't want to ignore this feeling that I have
of just feeling disconnected with Lavon.
Well, we're excited to go to church tomorrow.
[Jackie] I'm so excited.
You can't be drinkin' that brown before we go to church.
When we go to church, no. Just champagne.
-Just champagne! -[laughs]
[Jackie] Coming up on Basketball Wives...
You're always full of surprises.
I feel like we're just going opposite ways.
I don't think you're healed enough to be with him.
Mm...

Hi!

Hi!
-Yes! -How are you?
-Good! -You all right?
I'm fine. How are you?

I was walkin' through and I'm, oh,
I felt like I'm about to visit my attorney.
[laughter]
You dressed like it. Look at us.
I'm excited to come here and talk to you guys.
Obviously we did the premarital counseling.
And...it's not going so good.
Instead of us coming together,
I feel like we're just going opposite ways.
I just feel like as far as us getting married,
anxiety over that, because when I got married before--
got married Fourth of July.
By August, I was filing for divorce,
so I have an anxiety about that whole thing.
Um, I don't think you're healed enough to be with him.
Mm...
[Keion] Because you don't want to have him around
helping you unearth issues that existed before he got there.
Right.
So don't feel bad about that.
Don't feel any kind of way about that.
You're actually doing him a favor.
Right.
Speaking to Pastor Keion and him validating my feelings,
there's just something calming about that.
And, you know, I'm grateful for this conversation with him.
Our lifestyles are totally different.
And we're different.
I think Lavon is a really, really sweet guy,
but I never saw the spark in your relationship.
I think you need to find somebody
-who makes you laugh. -Yeah.
[Keion] Because you need somebody
who can help you to tap into happiness
when you don't have it.
Right. Yeah.
Well, I appreciate you guys.
I feel like I have a lot of clarity
and I know exactly what I need to do.

I got a great support system.

Every time we talk, she's motivating me.
You definitely wanna make sure
that you set your own stuff up on your display
the way you want it look.
You want to be hands on as much as possible.
Jennifer has been there as well, pushing my products,
pushing me, encouraging me.
And what is this I'm buying too?
This is my Diamond Shine.
It's like, um, heavier shine.
And this is the Silk Serum.

Hi, honey.
I wanted to show you my products in LA Beauty.
[Natasha] Look at ya, girl!
[Jac'eil] You see me.
[Natasha] [indistinct]
-[Jac'eil] Thank you, baby. -[Natasha] You're welcome.
Coming to LA was worth it.
It was a sacrifice.
These couple days went by fast.
It's like I only got really, like, 24 hours with you.
It's hard being away from you,
but I just want you to know that I'm doing everything for you.
I was worried, but we did it.
Yeah, you did it.
We did it. We're a team.
Okay, yeah, we did it.

You know CJ's gonna propose to Jen.
-This is good! -This is great.
This is great.
Yeah, so we wanna make sure that you are there
and we want to make sure that
the cat does not get out the bag.
I like Christian a lot,
and Jen seems to be very happy with him.
But I am concerned because Jen has been through relationships
where she's in love with these people,
and then they don't turn out to be
her knight in shining armor.
And all I want for her is her happiness,
so I hope Christian is that guy.
But I'll be home soon, so I can't wait.
You're always full of surprises.
I'll just get you guys to your seats.
I'll see you tomorrow, okay?
Wait, say hi to the ladies.

It's such an amazing experience,

It's truly mindblowing.
I don't think these ladies have a clue.
[cheers and applause]
This world is full of so much trauma.
But everybody in here has something
that will break you all the way down.
Don't worry about it, though.
The more broken you get,
the closer God comes.
[Brooke] I feel like Pastor Keion is talking to me about
Kayla, about myself.
And even though I'm emotional in this moment,
I am very hopeful on where I'm going to end up in the future.
Like, I feel like I have grown so much
in such a short period of time.
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.
I just made the decision to turn my pain into a purpose
and into power.
I need to be able to take care of myself mentally, physically,
in order to thrive
and in order to continue to build my daughter's legacy
and to make her proud.
Typically your biggest opponent in life...is you.
We hide our weaknesses so that we won't avail vulnerability.
So it is possible, then,
for you to become a king and be insecure.
'Cause let me tell you something,
you can't out-dress trauma.
No, there's no amount of cash, no amount of houses,
there is nothing that can get you over
what's happening on the inside of you!
All you will do is dress up your trauma.
Right on!
And not be long from exploding on somebody.
Oh my god.
If I have described your life in any way, raise your hand.
You've got to smooth out your rough edges
so you stop cutting people
who didn't expect to bleed
when they brushed up against you.
Yes!
What Pastor Keion is saying really resonates with me.
Although I know Lavon's this great person
and he treats me like a queen,
that's where the guilt comes from.
But I also feel like I need to do
what's best for me and, you know,
a part of me just feels like
I have to let him go.
I speak in the name of Jesus
that by the time you walk out of this door,
God is going to make your trauma make sense to you.
If you believe it, make some noise at this point.
[cheering]
[Jackie] Coming up on Basketball Wives.
We talked and we said we had to make a decision
about what we are?
Like, we have to be sure, you know?
And for me, it's kind of going in the other direction.
[music]
[phone ringing]
-[Isaiah] Hello? - [Vanessa] Hey!
What are you doing?
Hey, what's happening? How are you?
Good, how are you?
Everything going good out there?
[Vanessa] Yes. Seven's taking a nap.
So how's everything out there?
Man, everything is good.
Anyways, I have some exciting news to tell you.
You know I've been looking really hard for a space.
And we found this amazing location.
So, we put an offer in, and that was accepted.
So I'm really excited about that.
[music]
You put an offer in and it was accepted.
You really excited about that, okay.
Yup.
Hello? Are you excited?
It sounds like you put in an offer,
so either we did something or you did something.
Right, okay.
Honestly, with my husband,
I never know what reaction I'm gonna get.
But I was really hoping for a better response than this.
Given his recent pushback,
I guess I shouldn't be surprised.
I think it'll be good for us to move out here.
Honestly, I'm not gonna be fazed,
so I haven't supported it.
But I'm not letting that stop me or, you know,
take anything from the excitement
that I have right now.
I don't know.
Maybe I caught you at a bad time.
But I don't really like the energy
that you're really giving me right now.
[music]
[doorbell rings]
[dogs barking]
Stop.
-Mr. Louis! -Ms. Lozada.
[laughter]
-You casual cute today. -Am I?
You are. What's going on? You good?
Yeah, I'm good.
You don't think you casual cute?
I mean, I'm always cute.
You're like, "Am I?" [laughs]
Roses are nice. Who did that for ya?
[laughs]
You.
After Houston, I feel like
now is the time for us to really sit down
and finally have this big conversation
that we've been needing to have
for the last couple months.
I thought the event was, was great.
You did a great job.
[laughs]
So, you know, before the event, we talked
and we said we had to make a decision about what we are.
-Right? -Yeah.
Because, um, it's obviously different.
I think that obviously it was like we had talked about
so much in such a short period of time.
And then real life starts settling in, you know?
The distance.
You know, like, are we, you know, really ready.
For me, this would be my first real marriage,
and it's like I wanna feel a thousand percent.
Like, we have to be sure sure, you know?
And for me, it's kind of going in the other direction.
We've had some amazing times since we met,
so, you know, I think we gotta respect that side.
Yeah, yeah. I mean, I agree.
But I feel like...
as far as the relationship,
I think we need to be realistic
and, you know, call it quits.
Mm.
I am grateful for, um, us being able to just
still be mature.
I just have to be humble and grow from it.
[Evelyn] I'm just not gonna do something
that I just don't feel in my soul I'm ready for.
Well, I don't wanna miss this flight, so...
You be good, okay?
-All right. -All right.
[music]
[sighs]
[romantic violin music]
Hi!
It's so pretty!
What kind of date night is this?
Oh my god.
-[Christian] You like it? -[Jennifer] Babe, yes!
Thank you!
This is a--this--
I never had a date night like this.
I absolutely love it.
[applause]
Thank you.
-Thank you so much. -Thank you.
That was amazing.
We just got back from Houston yesterday,
and Christian whisked me away to a private house in the Hills.
I'm like, okay, this is a really special date.
Whoo!
Babe, this is so thoughtful.
I try.
I just love our journey.
I've never felt like this.
Yeah. I can say the same.
I'm so thankful, you know?
[music]
So right here we have Chilean sea bass.
-Oh, man. -Oh, wow.
Enjoy.
-Thank you, boss. -Thank you.
[Chef] You're welcome.
So, babe, how's everything with the movie?
You're excited?
I'm super excited.
I wish I could, like, pick up the phone
and call my mom and tell her, like--
Yeah.
Like, I've been chasing my dreams and...
they're actually coming true.
But it's been great to be able to come home to you after work.
We do our date nights. And just--
I really enjoy our companionship.
Yeah.
[music]
So tonight is Jennifer's big night.
And I'm excited.
Christian set everything up for Jennifer,
so all of her loved ones are there, her friends.
I'm just nervous that everyone can stay quiet
because I don't want anyone here to ruin Jennifer's surprise.
So baby, I've prepared something for you.
Oh my god, I'm nervous.
All right, so, Jennifer Lauren Williams...
we're walking into our ninth month.
The last nine months have been magical.
When I met you, I felt reborn again.
Oh, babe...
[chokes up]
[sighs]
All right, get it together.
[sighs]
I feel like the luckiest man on the planet.
Literally this is a high I've never experienced before.
They say when you know, you know.
I knew very early on
that I wanted to spend the rest of my life with Christian.
I knew he was the one for me.
I think at first we were both like,
wait, is this really real?
It's almost like
when something's too good to be true,
you start questioning things, but it's, it's not.
We just have a really amazing relationship.
-Champagne. -Oh my god,
you know exactly what I need.
What are you doin'?
[Jennifer] Christian is very secure in who he is as a man,
and I love that about him.
Hi!
I know that's right!
[overlapping voices]
[Jennifer] I understand that these ladies
probably have concerns,
which that, that's normal.
But I don't have any concerns.
He's all around just a really amazing person.
And I love everything about him.
Hi, Mommy!
Say hi, Mommy.
[squeals]
I'm just so happy. I really am.
-I love you. -I love you, babe.
Oh my god.
I wanna show you a gift downstairs.
That was so beautiful.
[music]
Come on, baby.
I have no idea what to expect.
I don't know what Christian has up his sleeve.
Oh, this is...
My anxiety is through the roof.
I don't know why I have to be blindfolded.
I really have no idea.
Oh god.
This is like a little deck right here.
-Take a little... -[Jennifer] Oh my god.
[Christian] Listen, pick your foot up and stride.
Back onto the hardwood. Okay, we're good.
Come on, baby, are you good?
[music]
Right here. Are you ready?
[giggles]
You ready?
I guess.
-[Christian] You ready? -[Jennifer] I guess.
All right, one, two, three.
[Crowd] Surprise!
What the [bleep]?
Oh my god!
[cheers and applause]
Oh my gosh!
[indistinct]
[crowd exclaiming]
♪ Doesn't even matter to you ♪
♪ Baby, I love you ♪
♪ I love you 'til the end ♪
-Baby, I love you so much. -What the [bleep] is this?
And I'm glad everyone is here
to share this amazing moment with us.
I promise to be the best--
the best fiancé, the best husband.
I promise to guide you. I promise to protect.
I promise to lead.
Now my question to you is--
Yes!
[laughter]
[cheering]
Let me see, let me see, let me see.
Oh!
[laughter]
[cheering]
I'm engaged, guys! Look at the rock!
I am super happy.
My man did a great job.
I'm a fiancée!
I know!
Yes, you are!
Let's see-- ah, so beautiful!
You got your king.
You're crying. I'm not crying today, bitch.
Oh my gosh!
-I love you, girl. -Aw, thank you.
I am elated that all my close friends, family,
loved ones, the girls, they're all here
supporting me for this moment.
Genuinely the happiest moment of my life.
-I love you, babe. -Babe.
Oh my god, I love this.
Hey, girl!
Hey!
Hi, little man!
Oh, you're smiling at me this time.
Oh my god, Vanessa.
So we are at an engagement for Jennifer.
She got proposed to.
Okay!
So I got a surprise for you.
Ta-da!
[laughs]
Oh my goodness.
I got the belt.
-[Vanessa] You fit it? - Fit it!
Third ring.
[Vanessa] I am really proud of Jackie.
Everyone has a journey,
and it's something, you know, you have to stick with.
And she did exactly that.
And I'm so happy for her.
[Jackie] You know, last time we talked,
you were telling me about the gym.
Uh-huh.
Yes.
No!
Vanessa, he hung up?
Ohhh...
I definitely feel that Vanessa wants to expand
her gym business to LA
to kind of strengthen up her independence
from her husband, Isaiah.
She wants to show him that she can make it on her own.
And I definitely wanna be a support for her.
I promise I will.
[music]
[cheering]
[Jackie] This has been an amazing, amazing journey
this whole year, coming together.
All of us have been through so much.
Everybody got something that they should be proud of
and be happy for.
Evelyn's done made a decision, you know, with you and Lavon.
And, you know, Jennifer's engaged.
And you, you are a queen. And when I tell you,
we appreciate you, we appreciate your realness,
your authenticity--
And I have to add,
for you coming to LA, pursuing your dreams,
and making it happen,
your products are in the first store ever in LA.
[cheering]
[Jac'eil] When I first got here, it was very emotional.
But I feel like I really have a sisterhood.
I have a community here.
And I feel like no matter what
the ups and downs, they'll have my back.
I really want to say that I appreciate you guys
being so supportive throughout my journey.
This has been such a...
tough is not even the word to use
for the year that I've had.
Also, you know, everyone has been asking me,
like, what's been going on with my relationship, you know?
We see you got that ring on.
-Um, the opposite finger. -Okay.
So you moving in the direction--
We are moving in a better direction.
He asked if we could renew our wedding vows.
And I'm just gonna give it an opportunity
to see where it goes.
[cheering]
That's a double cheers for me.
I know there was moments
where there was altercations and arguments.
That happens in a group of sisters.
But at the end of the day,
the growth that the women have been through and shared
and the ups and downs
and the fallouts that came back together
has been nothing short of phenomenal.
And I think we've got a long way to go,
but I'm down with it. I'm here for the journey.
And I'll be leading the way.
Congratulations!
[overlapping voices]
I love you. I'm so happy for you.
And I know I'm in the wedding.
[cheering]
[Vanessa] Next time on the Basketball Wives Reunion...
Okay, I'm by Vanessa's room.
Well, good for her!
Ahhhh!
She's sitting there eating a tater tot.
-The next thing-- -How many tater tots?
[laughter]
I'm befuddled.
That's the Twitter thug couch over there.
You're a fake bitch too.
This gremlin--
You [bleep] peacock.
I've got a whole [bleep] fiancé, get out of here.
Who's a scammer! Nobody wants him!
I'm always picking Brittany's side
and Brittany never picks mine.
Her spirit is just what I love.
You're a [bleep] liar.
-You're jealous of me. -Jealous? Of what?
LA is LA is Jackie Christie.
[smirks]
She thought these people were loyal to you and not me.
Security, remain where you're at.
[indistinct] get done up, bitch.
I'll kill your ass.
Bye girl!
