"Congratulations on your rainbow baby."
A rainbow baby is born after the loss of a previous child.
It means that something beautiful and full of light
has appeared in the midst of darkness and clouds.
So I thought that was beautiful.
I thought that this would be the perfect way
to celebrate new life,
to acknowledge what has happened
and not forget it but to learn from it
and move forward.
And we just wanted to do something
in honor of all of the angel babies out there.

I really had to sit back and just, like,
leave it in God's hands.

I didn't want to know. - [laughs]
- I am so late. I'm sorry. Hi, babe.
- It's so good to see you. - How are you?
- I'm good. - Are you keeping
my friend entertained? - Yeah, I got her situated.
Here, you can have my seat. Can I get you something?
- I will just have the rib mac and cheese.
- And a sweet tea?
- Yes, please. - Okay.
- Thank you. - You are welcome.
- Hi. Oh, my God. Okay, well, I'm loving the wings.
It's very, very good. - Yes, yes, yes.
Well, Chris is actually coming out with a cookbook.
- What? - Oh, yeah, and then
I want to have all the ladies over next week
to test out the recipes.
- Yes. We want to try the food. - They're gonna love it.
What's happening now?
- Oh, this is the baby back mac and cheese.
This is so good. You should try it.
- Okay, so you went to the rainbow party.
- I did. Yes, yes, yes. - I was sad to have missed it.
- It was a really nice party, overall.
- Okay. - It was really, really sweet.
Monique gave a speech...
- Okay. - And offered up the microphone
to have anyone who wanted to share their miscarriage story,
and then Ashley took the mic,
and I immediately was like, "Oh, here we go.
It was very like-- you know, and I just--
- Did--okay. Okay. - No tears, but all this--
- Was Michael crying? - I don't hell know.
He was gone. I just don't buy it.
I'm just not--I'm not purchasing the merchandise,
so while I'm incredibly sympathetic to any woman
who has dealt with a miscarriage,
let us not forget her good old husband Michael
did tell us that he wants to be out here,
you know, putting his mouth on people's penises.
However, I'm just gonna keep it to myself for now.
I still think that there's some mutiny and some bullsh-- afoot.
- So you really don't think she's trying to get pregnant?
- I think that, in general, Ashley is always on bullsh--
with her intentions to get pregnant.
- I would encourage you to give her the benefit of the doubt
and not squint your eyes.
Candiace, why are you in her business like that?
Ashley getting pregnant
is between Ashley and Michael's penis,
and we've all seen Michael's penis...
[laughs]
So actually it's between Ashley and everybody.
Now, listen. - Yes.
- 'Cause I want to back up. - Oh, where are we going?
- Let's talk about New Orleans really quickly.
- New Orleans, overall amazing. - I'm glad you enjoyed it.
- For the most part, you know. There were some hiccups.
- Except there were some little hiccups, you know.
- Yeah, there was a conversation
that I had with Monique.
She just has some really funny things to say about Katie.
- Are they fun? It's funny? - I guess Monique and Katie
had first met two years ago or something.
- Yeah at, like, a charity event.
- Right, so Katie was, like, you know, dressed to the nines
and had her evening gown and stuff going on,
and so Monique was kind of comparing
that to how Katie looks now,
and she said she looked like "Amistad."
- When I first met her, she was very primmed and proper,
and now it's like she's turned into Ashley on steroids,
like, free spirit, like, I mean...
- Really? - "Amistad," "Give us free."
- Right, right. And you laughed?
- I don't think I laughed.
[laughs] Shut up.
- Monique thinks that she's a slave?
Oh, okay.
Why, because she had her hair wrapped up?
- Yeah, we were all wrapped up. - So we all wrapped up.
- Right, right, right. - We black women.
That's what we do. We wrap our hair up.
- Mm-hmm. - You were wrapped up.
- I was. - She was braided up.
- Yeah. - I was wigged up,
but Katie's a slave?
Yeah. That's not cool. That's borderline asshole-ish.
- [sighs]
I just--I should have just shut the (BLEEP) up, like...
- You didn't hear it from me.
- Who else did I hear it from, Jesus?
- A bird. - You came from Jesus?
- I did. - I heard it from Jesus.

- Hello. - Afternoon.
What brings you in today?
- I'm here to do a class with my friend Karen.
We're here to do a healing session.
- Ooh. Wha!
- Because meditation and especially yoga
and spirituality has helped me so much,
I know that Karen is going through a very
challenging time right now.
Hi, there. - Good to see you.
- So glad you could make it.
- Well, thank you for inviting me. I'm excited.
- Yeah. Me too. So I hope that she will also
benefit from a little bit of Zen-like atmosphere.
- Hello, ladies. - Hello. How are you?
- Awesome. I'm Terry. - I'm Karen.
- Nice to meet you. - Very nice to meet you.
- Hi. I'm Ashley. - Hi, Ashley.
I'm a hugger, but you guys are--
- We can hug.
- You know what my friend told me?
She said, people don't breathe when they hug.
Like, when you actually go to hug someone you should like--
[inhales]
[exhales]
[quirky music]
- [whispers] Okay, that's--
- Oh, my. Thank you.
- So breathe in.
Oh.
All right. - [exhales]
I need you to let me go now.
[mysterious music]
Oh, wow. This is exciting, so peaceful.
- Yes. - Is this really salt?
- This is pink Himalayan salt.
It's ground down so fine that you don't feel it
but you breathe it in.
It helps you to release any resistance
because of the negative ions. It's natural.
It's from the earth, and so if you're feeling like
there's a bunch of stuff going on in your life,
you're going to easily let it go.
- This is perfect for Karen and I
because I had a miscarriage
and Karen lost both of her parents,
and so that feeling of loss and sadness
I would just--we put all of our differences aside,
because they were so minimal and menial.
- She's done better than me.
You take your fake marriage and ram it up your ass, okay?
Your husband always crying when he around you.
You make him miserable.
- So I'm gonna just sit next to you, dear.
Usually I will touch one
or several of the seven major chakras.
So the diaphragm is the space that a lot of people
like to shove a lot of energy.
I'm feeling like you have a ton of stuff
in your diaphragm, so...
- Well, I didn't go to the bathroom this morning.
[laughter]
- This is a new Karen.
Karen doesn't usually do poo talk,
so we're really making leaps and bounds.
- Constipation is a major part of my grief. I'm just saying.
- And I'll touch your back too.
- I don't think so, but okay.
- This kind of-- what you're doing is,
you're holding that.
- That's who I am though. - Just be open, babe.
Open to the process.
- Ah.
This is some bullsh--. I'm just saying.
- As being an intuitive, I'm also a psychic medium.
- Oh, Lord.
- So your dad is saying, "You got this, baby girl."
I felt him come in and I was holding him back...
But he is right here.
I'm--but I want you to know how--I want you to know.
I want you to know. I want you to know.
I can hear him, and he's saying--
- I know. - He's saying, "You got this."
- I know I have.
[tender music]

- I know I have. - And he's saying,
just because he's not here, you got this.

♪ ♪
- Your platform is missing, meaning your dad
was the space of the energy to hold you.
- My parents, they were my platform.
- Right, right. - They still are.
I just now am putting my arms around the loss.
♪ ♪
Losing parents, not one but two,
----ing sucks, and so my platform has shifted.
They're not here. They're not here.
It's like I know what's important now,
and what's important to me is my family and my friends
that I let close to me.
- This is a great step,
because once you step into opening up this space to share,
it's the truth that comes out.
It really will allow you to see the good things
that you may not really be seeing because you're in pain.
♪ ♪
- Talking about my father is very difficult,
but it's healing to feel his presence in the room
with me right now,
and it is healing to talk about it.
- This is what this is about. - Thank you.
- So I want you to enjoy the extra time that we have here.
Let go of those things that you feel that you're afraid of.
- Thank you. Thank you.
- I'll see you both again, okay?
- Thank you.
- Come on back. - That was beautiful. Wow.
- Thank you. - Thank you.
- Oh, wow. - This was good, Ashley.
This was very good.
Just opening up. It was good juju.
- I need to hear that too.
I just feel so overwhelmed, too, and I get stuck myself.
I'm having so much self-doubt right now.
I don't think I've ever felt this...
- Really? - Doubtful about myself,
in my life.
- Why? - Just, you know--
- You seem to have more purpose when I hear you talk,
especially about, you know, you wanting to be a mom.
- I just feel, like, this overwhelming, like, anxiety
because I've had two miscarriages.
And so I'm like, "What if that means that, you know,
I'm not meant to be a mother?"
Like, what if my body is not meant to carry a child?

♪ ♪
It's very scary for me.
I'm just afraid that my husband, you know,
he's 60 years old almost, and I'm afraid that,
ultimately, I'm gonna end up alone.
- Is that really what's going on with you?
So Michael's 60. Ray was 50 when Rayvin was born,
and let me tell you, that is the best gift.
I gave him his only biological child in this world,
but his baby gave him reason, so it could keep
Michael--that baby will keep Michael young, Ashley.
- I really need to hear that. - Okay.
- Yeah.
- This has been truly something I will never forget.
- If you had asked me a year ago
if I would be opening up to Karen,
I would have said hell to the no,
but the fact that we are here and sharing this moment,
it shows a lot about how far Karen and I have come.
I care about her
and I want her to get to a good place
and also for us to get to a good place together.
- High five. - I really appreciate this,
Karen. Come here, baby. Come here.
- Let's leave the good juju in the room.
- Boob to boob. Boob to boob. Boob to boob.
- No. No boob to--oh, my God. See? This is where you lose me.
This is where you lose--I'm running. I'm running.
- Still to come this season
on "The Real Housewives of Potomac"...
- Let's pray.
- Gracious Lord, we thank you for this day.
We thank you for friendship.
- We don't have to be friends. - We thank you for peace.
Get the (BLEEP) out! Let us find forgiveness.
- Karma is a bitch, honey. The bar of soap?
You might want to help your husband.
- And let us not shade each other to death.
- Let's go to the Caymans!
[boat horn blares]
- Whoo! - Ah!
- They are taking the title for drama and nonsense.
- He's talking about wanting a baby, and I'm like, "Uh-uh."
- Is it a deal-breaker? Do I need to talk to Juan?
