- Previously, on "The Real Housewives of Potomac"...
- All confidence-- you got it.
[cheers and applause] Nice!
Nice.
- I 100% feel like you're ready
and prepared to go to college.
- Yeah.
- But it is like, ripping my heart out.
- 2-0-8-5-4, baby!
I just recently closed on a beautiful home in Potomac.
- This a guest bedroom?
- Yes. - Okay.
- Or maybe it's my baby's bedroom.
- This is gonna be for one of the twins.
- Nneka is saying that you called Lebe
and said something along the lines of,
um, a shrine.
- Hmm.
I've never met the girl.
If I meet her, you know what I'll do.
- What you gonna do? - I'll pray for her.
- Many of you know I believe in empowering women,
especially survivors of assault.
- Really? - Yeah.
This whole, what we're doing, is triggering.
So, it's my coping mechanism
to get the (BLEEP) out when sh--'s uncomfortable.
- Are you recovered from the Austin of it all?
I'm not.
- I think it's, like, frustrating to see two people,
like, caring about each other
and then not connecting, right?
- Yeah. You mean me and Robyn? - Yeah, right.
Make sure which-which brawl-- you and Robyn, that one.
There-there's love there. - Yes. Right, there's so many.
[laughing] Yeah.
- But you guys have to work that out.
- Yeah, we'll see.
- I'm no angel but give me some grace,
and you'll learn to adore me.
- You don't have to dig for gold
when you shine this bright.
- I just took a DNA test,
and it turns out, I 100% don't care.
- When they go low, * I just hit high notes *
- If you're gonna test this professor,
be prepared to fail.
- Nigeria raised me, L.A. made me,
and Potomac will remember me.
- It doesn't matter the size of our home.
I'm always the queen of this castle.
- I don't ride the fence, honey.
I am the fence. You ride me.
- It's tattoo time. - Yes, it is.
- Hi. How are you? - How you doin'?
How you doin'? I'm good. How y'all doin'?
- Good. How are you with your- your stilettos, chile?
- I'm-I'm fine. I'm dressed for the occasion.
- Okay. [laughing]
- Hi. Karen. Nice to meet you.
- I never thought I'd see the day
where my mom's getting a tattoo.
- Oh, really? - It's my first tattoo.
- This is, like, monumental. - You scared?
- Uh, that's my daughter. Do I look scared?
- Oh, I'm sorry. I'm fine. [laughing]
- Everyone knows I'm doin' triple 20.
I'm celebrating life.
Do you have numbing cream? - Yeah, we do have some,
if you-- if you need some. - You might wanna numb me.
- For real? - Oh, yeah.
- Yeah, if you need some. - Oh.
- It's Mother's Day weekend.
I wanted a small "G'" for my mother,
which is, her name is Georgia, to commemorate her life.
If your 25-year-old daughter
wants to get a matching tat with you,
it sorta makes me cool. You know what I'm sayin'?
- Are you nervous?
[sighs] - Uh, actually, no.
I mean, I do my little injections for beauty anyway,
so it's not very different, right?
- True. No, it is. - Oh.
Well, maybe I should be nervous. - It's for sure.
- Life has been beautiful.
New York is as busy as ever, as always.
I've been into a lot of fashion and content creation,
which has been really fun.
I do fashion PR, which has been absolutely nuts,
but I love it. I never slow down.
One day, I'll slow down.
- Not right now. You're in your 20's.
- I'll be-- I'll be around 85. - Hallelujah.
That's-that's my girl. chip off the ol' block.
Go ahead, baby. Mm-hmm. - Yes, ma'am.
Mom, I'm hearing rumblings
of-of a breakfast that I'm attending.
- I volunteered you to share your experience with Grace
about going to college.
So, I thought it would be nice
if you, Gizelle, Grace, and I
get together for breakfast.
In Texas, you and I talked about getting together
with the girls. - Yes.
- I would love to have lunch or dinner.
- Okay, yeah. - Um, Rayvin will be down.
- Okay.
- Love. Can't wait. - Okay, uh,
I know you've had moments where you had issues
with Gizelle, okay. I've had many.
Right now, we're in a good place.
So, let's take advantage of the good place
and do a good thing.
You know, Grace is going to college,
and I wanted Grace to talk to Rayvin,
and Gizelle wants, you know,
Rayvin to share her experiences with Grace,
and I love it.
- I think it's tattoo time.
- Are you-- - You really wanna go first?
- I-I'm-- let me meet the young man.
Um, Ray, Karen-- nice to meet you.
- Yes, nice to meet you. - The good thing is,
you share my husband's name.
Ray has no interest in tatting sh--
and nor do I want to follow in the footsteps
of Robyn and Juan.
- Aww, happily ever after.
[laughing]
- See how that's goin'?
- You can go ahead and have a seat.
- Let's do it.
- Okay.
Oh, is that the "G," Rayvin?
- This is our little "G."
- Yes. - Yeah.
You like that? - I like it.
- And you're ready? I gotta spin her around.
- Deep breath. Lord, oh, Lord.
[tattoo gun whirring]
- Oh, my God, this feels like giving birth.
Whoo! Whoo! - Mom, stay still!
- Whoo! Whoo! - Mom.
- Oh! I'm doing good, Ray, right?
- Yeah, you are. [laughing]
- Right?
- This took me longer than it should have.
[laughing]
- Am I done? - Yeah.
- Ray, you're an angel.
Oh, my God, it's still stinging, though.
Is-is that-- is that normal? - Mom, it looks beautiful.
Yeah, it's supposed to sting. - What?
- You broke the skin. You broke the skin.
Mom... - It's so cute.
I think that mommy is smiling from heaven, right now.
- I do, too. - Rayvin, you ready?
- Sure am. - Are we ready, Rayvin?
I love the little "G."
It's so quiet, you know,
'cause my mother was a small woman in stature.
You know, it's so her.
And then to do it with my daughter,
uh, it says I'm a little cool.
It's cool that you thought I would do it.
- I did not think she would do it.
- It's done? - Yeah.
Go ahead and take a look.
- Get up? - Yep.
[gasps] - Ahh! It looks so cool.
- Let me see. - I'm sorry. Who are you?
- Rayvin. Aww, it's so cute.
- That's actually really cute.
**
- It's so pretty in here.
Hi. Nice to see you.
- Good to see you. How are you?
- Elizabeth, this is my mother.
- Dorothy.
- Nice to meet you. Good to see you.
Please, have a seat.
- Okay. - Yes, please.
- So, Elizabeth is the Chief Commercial Officer
at Parfums de Marly. - Okay, okay.
- And she's making all of our dreams come true.
- Yes. - I'm so proud of you.
- So, the inspiration is here, the moms.
[laughing] - Oh, my God, what a good inspiration.
- Yes. - This is--
it's-it's my main-- - The chief mom.
- The chief mom-- I love this. I love this.
- Yes. [laughing]
- In our group, we all pretty much
have special relationships with our moms,
and I recognize how many of us
have been influenced and celebrated by our moms.
So, it's fitting that, you know, we have an event
to celebrate the moms in our group
and the mothers of the group.
- And then timing.
It starts at 2:00. - Great.
- And then we have a violinist coming.
- Oh, that'll be beautiful. - Yay.
- And then we have a fragrance bar.
- Oh, my gosh.
- There's a lot of beautiful experiences.
- Okay.
- And you're gonna love the space.
- Okay.
- It's stunning.
It kinda reminds me of my wedding.
Oh, my God. Oh, my God. Oh, my God. Oh, my God.
This is a ----ing wedding.
- I designed all that.
- I'm super-- oh, my God, that's amazing.
So, today, I'm gonna show you.
We have beautiful, um, invitations and talk about--
[gasps] - Oh, I haven't seen them!
- She wants to be surprised. - Yes.
- But I wanted you to kind of get it.
They came from Paris. - I love that.
- And I wanted you to make sure you knew that everyone was here
and if anything-- - Okay, great, great, great.
- Anyone is missing. - Yes.
So, hand delivered invitations--
um, Wendy for sure, Mia and Mia's mom...
- Okay. - Charrisse and Skylar.
- Okay.
- Um, Nneka's mom is in Wisconsin,
so she's gonna bring her big sister.
Karen and Ashley-- - Yes.
- And her mom, Sheila. - Miss Sheila.
What have I always said about Ashley?
She is a raggedy bitch, but she's a good mom,
and I love her mom.
And if Miss Sheila is coming with her wig,
then she has to bring her child.
- What about Gizelle and her daughters?
- I have zero interest in having someone
who would wish such ill on me and my family.
She can stay home.
I wanted to invite Robyn, but I haven't talked to her.
So... - So, are you gonna try again
to reach out or some type of way y'all talk?
[sighs] - Um, I have to think about it.
So, I'll let you know. - Okay.
- Coming up...
- I saw Jacqueline the other day.
- Did you? How is she doing? - I did.
- I would never ----ing sleep with your husband!
- What the (BLEEP)?
- She actually cried. - About what?
**
- Hi. - Hey.
- How you doin'? - How are you?
So good to meet you.
- So nice to meet you, too. - All right.
How are you guys doing? - Good.
- Good, good. How are you? - I am super good.
I'm so glad we got to, like, finally meet.
- Yeah. - All right.
I have lots of questions. - Okay.
- As I mentioned on the phone, I'm looking to start
my own daytime talk show. - Mm-hmm.
- And in full disclosure, I began this journey
with another producer. - Okay.
- Parting with Marsha was a difficult decision.
Still don't have a name for this show, by the way.
- Okay. - How about Zen Wen?
- No.
- She sent me over a contract that said that she would be
in 50% ownership of the show that I essentially created
and was my brainchild.
To me, that was a red flag. So, I decided to let her go.
I wanted to make sure to find a producing team
that spoke to not just my heart but the project.
This is something that I'm destined for.
So, let's talk about the creative part.
I want it to feel homey, like you are at
your cousin's house,
and you guys are just having a conversation.
- Yeah.
- But I could talk to you about the Grammy's,
being a Black woman... - Yeah.
- North Korea, the White House
Correspondents' Dinner... - Mm-hmm.
- The laundry mat-- I don't know--
the BET Awards, imposter syndrome...
- Yeah.
- Well, that's why I think this is so major,
and it has to be done right. - Yeah, yeah, yeah.
- We need this show. We don't have this show.
It's either news, which sometimes is stuffy,
or entertainment, which sometimes is too loose.
Like, this show sits right at the middle,
hard-hitting topics with Dr. Wendy,
but I make you laugh. I like it.
I have a date in my head when I have said
I was going to shoot. - Mm-hmm.
- Do you think we will be able to film at the first episode
by next month?
- I think, if we lock in on concept--
- Okay. - Getting a crew together, um,
won't take too much for us. - Okay.
- Yeah, like, we'll treat it as if this is supposed to
fit in with, like, six episodes, or a full season,
however many episodes you're planning on doin'.
- Consider yourself hired officially.
- Oh.
**
- Hey, sissy. Thanks for coming.
- I got you. How are you? - Good.
Oh, my gosh, so this is the new store.
- Oh, my gosh. - Have a look because
Ikenna is not gonna come here at all.
- Oh, no, he definitely won't. [laughing]
- He's like I'm furnishing this place by myself
or with your help, too. So...
- This is really cute. - No. See, I mean,
I think I brought the wrong person already. No.
- Why do you even have me here if you won't listen to me?
- But the chairs are kinda cute.
My relationship with my sister is like sour patch kids.
When we were younger, we were arch nemesis.
Like, we were just water and oil.
- Okay, well, what about this? This is cute.
- I like it. - I told you I can do it.
- But the older we've gotten together,
we've just become closer. She lives in the DMV,
and she has the most amazing husband,
and she has three kids, and those boys are giving her
a run for her money, and she got a lot of it,
so you know it's a problem.
We have to find something because I have to
furnish this entire house.
I am starting from scratch with this house--
new location, a new zip code,
new furniture. That's it.
We're well underway with the progress of construction,
and it'll be done soon,
but I'm just happy to finally be in the house.
- Here you go.
- Thank you. - Thank you.
- Love the glass, too. - Exactly.
- Thank you so much. Really appreciate that.
- Cheers. - Cheers.
- Don't forget Candiace's Mother's Day brunch
is coming up. - Oh, yeah, that's right.
- Mmm, quite refreshing. - This, I like.
Especially, like, mom, daddy, all the family come over.
- Like, family?
- You know, we used to sing all the time--
- No, we did.
We used to do little performances.
That was such a hit.
- Oh, my God.
[laughing]
That's such a throwback. - I know.
- You know, so, when I have my kids--
oh, you don't have a girl
'cause, remember, it was a girl group.
- I know. I know. I know.
- When I eventually get pregnant and have a girl,
we coulda had our kids be in, like, a girl group.
- The kids would absolutely love this.
- Wait, my kids?
Is that what we're talking about?
- No, my kids.
- My sister got married at 23, had her twins at 24,
had her third baby while she was in
medical school residency,
and I'm just kind of, like, lollygagging,
is what they would say in our culture,
but we've been trying naturally,
and we're still gonna keep trying
until I find somebody that can assist us.
- This is crazy, like attorney, champagne line,
trying to have a baby.
You kinda remind me of, like, daddy.
You know, like, daddy is, like, a workaholic.
That's how he's so well-accomplished.
- Daddy grew up with nothing. - Yeah.
- And you and I have never been without.
- Yeah, it's really inspiring, you know.
- Like, one of those stories you hear about
someone not having shoes and walking to school,
that was my dad.
When he came to America, it wasn't easy for him either.
He was driving a taxicab.
I'm in awe of him. He's accomplished so much,
and not only is he a medical doctor,
he's an interventional cardiologist,
which is the highest form of cardiology.
So, my parents definitely had high expectations of us,
so I've always done things in-in mind of my family.
I just have an innate nature in me
that wants to just do more.
Now is the time for me to just hustle.
I can't wait for my bubbly to hit the stores,
and then I'm disappearing.
- Don't disappear, please. I still need you.
[laughing]
- Coming up...
- Her memory of you was the cookie bake that you lost.
- Okay. Excuse me.
I won. Karen cheated.
- Okay.
- Hello, hello. - Good morning.
Do you have reservations for Karen for four?
- We're going here. - Which one? This one?
What? - This door.
- Honestly, I'm gonna keep the glasses on
'cause I feel like they're a slay.
- They slay? - If I slay--
- And it pulls it together.
- It brings the sauce to the outfit.
- Okay, I'm done. - Good morn-ting.
Good morn-ting. Good morn-ting. Good morn-ting. Good morn-ting.
- Hello. - Grace, good morning.
- I haven't seen you in so long. How are you?
- I know. - How are you?
- You're looking just like your mother.
- So cute. - Oh, thank you.
Thank you so much. Hi, Grace.
- Yes, just-- looking just like mama.
- Hi. - How are you?
- Oh, look at you.
- We-we have matching hair today.
- Get to see you guys. - I love the hat.
- It-it-it's-it's the moment. - You sit here.
- Oh, okay. - I also was like,
should I wear the sunglasses inside?
But it's-it's completing me. - No, yeah, wear 'em.
It's cute.
- Rayvin says that the glasses add sauce to the outfit.
- Uh-huh. - Slaying.
[laughing]
- Karen and I have had our moments,
but when it comes to our girls, it is a beautiful thing
to be able to talk to them like they're young ladies
and for them to chime in
and be able to vibe off one another.
I could not be prouder of Rayvin.
She has grown and blossomed into a beautiful woman.
- Good morning. - Hi. How are you?
- Good. How are you? - Good.
- Good morning.
I'm fiending for a cup of coffee.
- Me, too. - Okay.
- Um, can I just have cranberry juice?
- Sure. - Thank you.
- And do y'all have, like, a lemonade?
- Okay, I'll be right back. - Thank you so much.
- But how are you? - I'm good.
- Like, my God, you look so much older
than the last time I saw you. I'm, like, scared.
- I know. I'm scared. [laughing]
That means I'm getting older.
- Rayvin was ahead of you in Jack and Jill by years.
- Yeah. - Yeah.
- So, you wouldn't have been in the same class,
but Gizelle and I were hanging out
while I was president, and then she was misbehaving.
- Yes, yes. - Yeah.
- Uh, I'm kidding. No, she was good.
Jack and Jill is a Black historical organization
which brings together Black children
to teach them to give back to their community.
That's how I met Gizelle.
She just showed up one night at the meeting, though.
I had to accept her. She transferred in.
Her memory of you was the cookie bake that you lost.
- Okay. - Wait, I didn't say, "Lost."
- Ooh, I thought you won.
- I said she had some of the best ones.
- I thought she won. Yeah.
- Excuse me. Excuse me.
I won. Karen cheated.
- Okay.
- And what is this one, Gizelle? - That one is chocolate chip.
- Okay.
- With all kinds of different chocolate chips--
white chocolate, dark chocolate, like a medley.
- You can bake, girl.
I told you that at my Christmas competition.
We had the cookie bake.
- Yes, when you were one of the judges,
and I didn't win. What happened?
- Uh, well, girl, I had your back but--
- You did not!
- I did, but I couldn't be biased.
I had to be fair. - Okay, okay.
- So, then I didn't win. - I didn't cheat.
What I did was, your mother didn't follow the instructions
for the display.
She just decided to put hers in, like, a Michael's box.
- Karen was hosting the event, and she didn't want me to win
because the winner gets a crown and a sash, honey.
So, you know, I needed my crown and sash.
Oh, I'm the reigning champ. Ain't no question about that.
But she wanted her little cousin to get the crown
and the sash, and she did.
And I won. Karen cheated.
- Leah followed directions.
You lost, Gizelle, and I stand by that.
- You ready, ladies?
- Okay, so, I'll do fried hard and crispy bacon.
- Okay.
- Can I just have the biscuits?
- Okay.
- I'll do two eggs scrambled, please, with sausage.
- Okay, okay.
- I'm gonna do eggs scrambled.
I'm gonna be bad and have it with, uh,
American cheese and onion.
- I'll be right back. - Thank you.
Grace, this is an exciting time for you.
- I know, I'm so excited. - Congratulations.
I'm really proud of you. - Yes.
- But I wanna hear all the tea. So, Rayvin, go ahead, dig.
- No, yeah, yeah, my shovel is out.
What's up? - Okay.
So, I'm going to school in Florida,
but, like, it's just nerve-wracking to leave
and, like, start new
'cause I'm very, like, homebody a little bit.
- Are you excited? - Yeah, I'm excited.
- Okay, okay, good.
- That's my issue. - Yeah.
- I wanna see my baby as much as possible.
Did you want to visit?
- The tea is, probably not really.
[gasps] I do now, in adulthood.
Let me tell you.
I was sobbing, snorting, crying, all of it.
- Oh, yeah. - And then I got there,
and it just-- you're your own person.
You don't have to have all the tools today.
- Yeah, you learn over time, for sure.
- You, like, just have to-- have to have,
like, the courage to go at all.
You know what I mean? - Yeah, I have the courage.
- Oh, I like that. - Yeah.
- Like, you don't have to have it all, right now, you know.
- I think, cer-certainly, socializing
is really an important part
of getting your education. - Yeah.
It's gonna be sad, though.
She's kinda, like, the glue to the house.
- Yeah. - Oh, yes.
- She brings it all together. - Yeah.
- So, it's gonna be different.
The house is gonna be different.
Though Grace is extremely confident, and she's happy,
and she loves who she is and all that good stuff,
but, you know, it's nice to get
as much wisdom and advice as you can possibly get,
and I think that they should continue
their relationship.
I mean, Grace might have questions, you know,
a year from now, two years from now
about things that she needs to navigate.
So, Rayvin will always be a great resource.
She's been crying, occasionally,
'cause she misses-- she's gonna miss her friends.
But, like, I don't want you sad.
Like, I'm gonna be sad. I don't want you sad.
I want you just to enjoy your life.
- But I can-- I have emotions.
- I want you to yourself. I got her.
I'll go-- I'll go over and torment her.
- I called her for the dumbest things, too.
[laughing]
- Coming up...
- The papers, you just need to sign them?
- It's just very final.
I really have to do this on my own time.
**
- Hello. Hi.
- Hi. - How are you?
Welcome, welcome. - Hi.
Good seeing you again. - Good to see you again.
All right, we're gonna go back to the back room,
so we can get started.
All right, Robyn and Juan, you guys can take a seat.
We're gonna stretch Carter and Corey first.
- Corey and Carter are both athletes.
- Get under the ball, Corey.
- I initially would take Corey
to go stretch
because he's experienced a lot of different injuries,
and his body was just all out of whack.
So, Mikki... - Yes.
- I wanna see if you could tell me
which side of his body is the problematic side.
- Okay. - I-I have one?
- Yes, Corey, all of your injuries
are on one side of your body.
So, Corey, this is your last week of school.
- Yeah. [laughing]
- You're about to start high school next year.
And, Carter, I know we got a little work to do,
but we're gonna get you some extra math help.
- I found the side.
- What side is it? - His left side.
- Yep. - Mm-hmm.
[laughing]
- Candiace just sent me a text.
"Hey, I'm hosting a Mother's Day brunch
and would love to have you and Gigi there.
If we can put our differences aside
to honor our mothers and come together..."
- That was nice of her.
- I'm actually surprised that I'm getting
this invitation from Candiace.
I was fine leaving things where they were in Austin
and just coexisting,
but it seems like Candiace is confused
and doesn't really understand why we are where we are.
So, I just wanna let her know
this is how I feel.
I don't need an apology.
I don't need anything from her.
End of story.
- You have any problem areas?
- Hips kinda tight. - Got you.
- Uh, do you have any updates on the job search?
- Not yet. - I mean, I'll be honest.
I wanna see you working
'cause I know that that's your passion,
but before you get a job, let's make sure
we be intentional
on spending more time with each other, and--
Juan, do you hear me?
[snoring] He sleeps.
- Let's get this mother-daughter day started right!
- You want some bacon?
- I got bacon, and eggs, and asparagus.
- Did you just say, "Asparagus?"
- Yeah, some asparagus, eggs.
- No, I'm not eating asparagus, Ashley.
Don't be funny. - Why?
What's wrong with asparagus?
It's good for you.
- I don't like asparagus
and I don't like the other stuff,
the little-- the green balls. What are they?
- Brussels sprouts? - Brussels sprouts.
Yeah, I can't remember which one it is, though.
One of 'em make your cootchie stink.
- She said, "Make your cootchie stink."
- Yeah, I know you have heard that.
I know you have. - Let me get the champagne.
Mother's Day has always been so significant to me.
I only have a mom. Like, I have no dad.
So, I've valued that there is a day
that I could commemorate her and celebrate her.
And now, I'm in the club, you know,
and now my mom is acknowledging me as a mom
and telling me what a great job I'm doing,
and I'm just really thankful that I go to,
and it's the best thing ever, you know.
It's just really nice to be a mother.
- I'm excited. - I'd be excited, too.
- If I love my face, I'm gonna take you home with me.
- Hey, you can pack me up.
- Yeah, I'll move you up there to Westminster.
- Akua, you've been adopted.
- I gotta move her up to Westminster.
- I have room to be adopted. [laughing]
- This is beautiful, nice.
[sighs] Oh, my!
This is gorgeous.
I love this.
Do we have nameplates?
Where is everybody? Y'all forgot.
I lost my mother a few years ago,
and my daughter had to go back to New York City.
Yeah, I'm solo at this Mother's Day event.
But never alone. My mother is always here.
- I didn't introduce myself. I'm Elizabeth.
I'm the Commercial Chief Office of Parfums de Marly.
- Well, we're in the same family.
I've had La' Dame for five years.
- Oh, my gosh, that's great. - Growing with Bloomingdale's,
and they just expanded me to their new division,
Bloomie's. - Congratulations.
- Thank you.
- Oh, my gosh. [gasps]
Oh, I'm gonna cry! This is pretty!
Oh, my God, this is stunning.
- Oh, there's the music. Look at the flowers.
- Wow, this is so nice.
- So, that's the perfume bar
- Ooh.
- Where you can try on your perfume.
- I am so excited. - This is so pretty.
- You did a great job, sister.
- Everyone can get behind the celebration of mothers.
I feel at peace that I'm able to at least attempt
a gathering to celebrate something
that is common to all of us.
You're welcome. De rein.
That's "you're welcome" in French.
Oh, my God, you look so pretty!
- Thank you. So do you.
- Hi.
- Hi, sister. How are you? - I'm good.
- Muah. Hey, mama. - And mom, yes.
- Hi, how are you? How are you?
- Did your mom come? Did your mom come?
- I feel we need to kiss like this.
- Yes, you have to do the double kiss.
Yes. - No, Mom is not coming.
She's not available. - Oh, okay.
- But I still came to support.
I'm still feeling a bit heavy after Karen's event last week.
- Yeah, something that I-I battle with a lot.
But I get it, you know, when it comes to Mom.
She had to work,
and I have gotten to a point where, you know,
it's just I-I'm good.
- When you were small, I would always say,
"She gets on my nerves
'cause she acts just like her father."
- My sister and my mom do everything together,
manis and pedis. They go to the mall.
That's great and all, but you have more children.
- Give me a second to get my hair in order.
- I have gotten to a point where,
you know, I-I'm good.
Yeah, I'm good, yeah.
- Hello. Hi. - Hi.
- How are you? Thank you for having us.
Did you lose weight?
Girl, you look good. - Thank you.
- Well, okay. - She's looking hot.
- Yeah, she is.
- Hi. - How are you?
- You look so pretty. You look wonderful.
I feel like I haven't seen you.
- I know. How are you? - Like, where you been?
What have you been doing? - I have been so crazy busy.
How have you been? Is mom coming?
- No, she can't make it.
- Well, I am glad you're here, though.
- Let's watch your steps. - How beautiful!
Oh, my God.
- How are you? Hi. - Hi.
- Well, who is getting married?
[laughing]
Yes, me. Are you single?
Hi, darling. - Hello. Oh, my God.
Muah. How are you? - How is everything?
Good to see you.
How is everything? - Everything is great.
- Good. - We're just busy.
We're just staying afloat, doing our thing, you know.
- Do you get the boys much? Do you get Ashley's boys?
- I do. I come down and watch 'em.
- Mom, this is Kiearna.
- Hey, Kierna. - Hi, mom.
- This is my spicy sister. - And this is her mom.
- And her mom, Miss Michelle. This is my mom, Dorothy.
- Hey, Michelle and Kierna. - Yes.
- Two is French. - Yes, two is. Yes.
- Okay. - Two kisses today.
- No, you have to do, like-like, double, like this.
Muah, muah. - Muah, muah.
- Okay. - Yes.
There you go. - Love that.
[laughing]
- This is really nice. - Super cute.
[phone ringing] - Hey, girl.
- I am really sad that you're not here,
but I know you had your book signing,
celebration soiree.
- But I want you to know I am so proud of you.
- Thank you.
I'm proud of you, too.
Congratulations.
- To commemorate the paperback release
of my book, "Tears of My Mother:
"The Story of my Nigerian Upbringing,"
this book event had been planned for a while.
I didn't know about Candiace's event
until last minute.
[groans]
- Wendy, why are you doing this to me, girl?
I wish that we weren't dealing with this Nneka situation
because I do feel like that may be playing a part
in why she's not able to come.
That book will be there tomorrow.
- What are the notes in that one?
- It's a very Parisian scent.
It's a beauty.
- How are you and Karen?
- Girl, you know the answer to that.
Don't ask that stupid question.
- You know what?
- I can't make people like me.
I mean, I'm fabulous, but if you don't see it,
then that's your problem. - Yeah, I'm wit' you on that.
That's a thing 'cause I--
I said that same prayer. - I got enough friends.
- And I saw people dropping like flies over here.
- Speaking of which, I saw Jacqueline the other day.
- Did you? How is she doing? - I did.
- We're talking about possibly having cancer.
This is real life for her.
It wasn't clear to her. - I'm sorry.
I'm not trying to be rude.
Who is this? - I'm Jacqueline.
I'm her best friend. - You're Jac--
you're Jacqueline. - Yes.
- She is okay. - Yeah, she's good?
- She actually cried. - About what?
- I was talking about you. - Oh, God.
- Ahh, ahh, ahh, ahh, ahh.
- I saw Jacqueline the other day.
- Did you? How is she doing? - I did.
- She's good?
- She actually cried. - About what?
- I was talking about you. - Oh, God.
- I had a thing at Lock 72 in Potomac.
All the little Potomac people were there,
so I had to go and, you know, say hello.
So, I said, "Just come with me," 'cause we met for lunch.
After that was over,
Nneka came in. - Oh.
- So, Nneka met Jacqueline, too.
- Oh, good. - Yeah, she met her.
She didn't speak very favorably of you to Nneka,
which I would have never done.
- Oh. - Someone I don't know--
I'm just meeting for the first time.
- So, it's been about a year
since Jacqueline and I have spoken
since our debacle in Mexico.
Jacqueline and I have been friends since we were 15,
and we've been inseparable since.
Keep your legs closed to married men, bitch.
- I'm ----ing done with you. - You should be.
- No, no! - I am ----ing done with you!
- It's not intentional.
I just haven't had the opportunity to,
and we haven't, like, run into each other.
I've had a lot going on this year, okay?
I mean, give me a break. [laughing]
- Mia had never mentioned her ex-friend, Jacqueline to me,
but I met her that evening with Charrisse,
and it was an experience.
She was saying everything she's ever known about Mia.
She just went on to tell us about Mia insinuating
that she was sleeping with somebody at her work,
posting things on Twitter, something about her sister.
It-it carried on for about two hours.
I mean, the least she could have done was paid my tab
after that, but I still think I paid the bill.
- You're crying, and then you wanna talk sh--.
Which one is it? That's what gets confusing. It's like--
- Yeah, I think love makes people crazy sometimes.
You know what I'm saying? - Okay. Yeah.
- Everyone, we are ready to head to the table for brunch.
**
- I haven't had a chance to say hi to you.
- I know. You look beautiful.
- I love the gloves.
- That's why you're taking little tiny little sips?
- It's good.
- The oyster-- - It's-it's salty somewhere.
- Don't put the sea salt on it. You don't need it.
- Mmm.
So, what are you doing? How's the love life?
Sorry to be asking you these questions
in front of your mom but...
- Oh, girl, she be in on everything.
- I know you said you're-- the papers,
you just need to sign them.
- Yeah.
- When do you think you wanna really sign them,
realistically speaking?
- Um, it's very emotional. - Right.
- And I don't feel urgency, right now.
It's just very final.
- When I filed for divorce, I was done.
Couldn't wait.
I was asking the judge, "Is it over? When is it over?"
But I think Ashley is having reservations.
She needs his finances.
You know, he knew what he married.
- I don't wanna be together romantically,
but I'm not necessarily ready to sign the papers.
Like, we still live separately,
do separate things, but...
My family says to me that I really need to cut this tie
for my emotional well-being, for me to move on,
X, Y, and Z, and I'm like, I hear them.
Like, okay, I get it, but I really do have to do this
on my own time.
I'm gonna get there, okay? Damn.
[sighs]
- Charrisse, you got fitted for your perfume.
- Yes, darling. - Yeah.
- It smells great. - I got a nice, sexy scent.
- Okay.
- The reason for creating La' Dame was to invoke
the fond memory of my grandmother.
- Listen, a businesswoman is a businesswoman at all times.
So, if Karen wants to come to the Mother's Day brunch
and pump her perfumes, live your best life.
Go ahead, Karen.
- So, Candiace... - Yes.
- When we were coming in, Wendy was on the phone, right?
- Yes. - Is she coming?
Are we expecting her? - She is not coming.
You know, Wendy wrote a book. - Mm-hmm.
- Her publisher, like, set up a whole shindig soiree for her
to go and celebrate the release of the paperback.
- That's cool.
- Maybe she also knows this probably wasn't a good time
and place considering the current of the relationship
between Nneka, her, and her mother.
Kudos to Wendy for having that foresight.
[clears throat] I'm not that mature.
My mom would've been right up in there like--
Like, "Who said what? Who said that I said what?
"When? Where? How? Where is your proof?"
- Now, what about Robyn? Where are you guys at?
Are you guys better now? Is she coming, or...
- So, I did end up sending her an invitation.
She wrote back and said that she didn't feel
that it would be healthy for us to be with the group,
with our unresolved issues.
I didn't disagree with her.
- That's really kind of you to extend that invitation.
- Yeah.
We're actually meeting up later this week to talk.
- Very nice. - Yeah.
- So, when are we all gonna be together again as a group?
Are you inviting everyone to Surry,
or what are we doing?
- Oh, I wanna go to Surry. - I would love to, uh,
invite you all at the same time,
but because of insurance purposes,
I cannot because-- - Oh, really?
- Yeah, I would be liable, and you know how you all get.
- How do we get? - We're not worth the risk, Karen?
- Buck wild, yeah. - We're not worth the risk?
- Says who? Says who? [indistinct chatter]
- I feel like I am. - I'm gonna be putting
everyone's name in a fishbowl and drawing it,
'cause it not personal. - That is crazy.
- How much can the insurance possibly be
for property in Surry County?
Like, what are we talking about here, girl?
You need me to send you a CashApp?
Like, do I need to pay for admission
to come support you? Like, figure it out.
- Can I have everybody's attention, please?
I hope you all have enjoyed dining.
And huge thank you to Elizabeth and the team
at Parfums de Marly.
So, in keeping with the honoring
of all of our moms here, I have a special presentation,
so if you all would have your last bites
of your short rib.
- Candiace loves a good party.
- Okay, test, test, test.
Um, I-I have a song, um, an inspirational song
on my first album. It's called "Win."
And when I think about that song,
it really reminds me of what a mother sounds like
when she's pouring into her daughter.
Oh, my God.
So, I wanted to just sing a little bit of it.
**
* You're gonna win *
* you're gonna win *
* You're never a burden on Him *
* He'll do it again and again *
* You're gonna win you're gonna win *
[applause]
Happy Mother's Day.
Coming up...
- When you were on Twitter and gave your ranting commentary
about what was going on in my life, did you think
that everything was gonna be okay after that?
- Welcome. How are you?
- Very well. This is so cute.
- How can I help you today?
- So, I would like some tea. - Yeah.
- And lots of honey. - Sure.
- Hi. How are you? - Good morning.
Welcome to Lily's. How are you?
- I'm good. I just need some protein.
- So, I recommend the smoked salmon sandwich.
- That's perfect. I'll have that, please.
Thank you.
- At this point, I do still have hope
for our friendship
because in my mind, this is not something
that we can't move past.
This is just not that serious.
I stated my opinion
along with the rest of the universe.
But you're mad at me?
- Hello. - How are you?
- I'm good. How are you? - Good.
[sighs] You look nice.
- Oh, likewise.
- Thank you for finally making time to talk.
Um, the purpose of me coming here,
is for me to listen to you.
So, I literally just want you to explain to me
what I have done to hurt you.
- I feel like it should be pretty self-explanatory
what my feelings are.
I feel like anyone would feel the way that I feel
when they see a friend
take to social media, print media,
television media,
and repeatedly pretty much spread lies
and trash them
and drag them for a personal decision
that they made that had nothing to do with you.
So, as soon as you took to Twitter
and gave your ranting commentary
about what was going on in my life,
I said, "Oh, the friendship is-is killed."
- I didn't say what I said
to be offensive to you.
Why you going with the ho to the laundry mat.
Go by yourself? - Okay, well--
- Send the assistant.
Why is the head coach washing uniforms?
- Okay.
- If you didn't mean to offend me,
what did you mean to do?
She wanted something to come out of that,
something detrimental towards me,
to come out of that.
But, honestly, even if you didn't mean to offend me,
who does that to their friends?
- When I tweeted it, I didn't--
I didn't think anything of it
because we all tweet about each other.
It's categorically unfair to have this issue with me
and not let me know that you are offended.
I-I had no idea.
- I am not throwing my husband under the bus
for anyone's entertainment. - Okay.
[clears throat] - So while I'm filming a show,
if that issue is no longer an issue,
I'm not digging that up
to make my husband look bad,
because that's what happens.
When you talk to anyone, you talk to your friend,
your mama, your cousin,
about what your husband did-- - Yeah, yeah.
- And you move on. - Mm-hmm.
- They don't forget. - That's true.
- And they remind of that sh-- all the time.
- That's true.
- So, why would I do that to my husband?
- We are on a show about our lives.
- There is a thin line between
how much we should share. - Yeah.
- Especially about our partners. - Yeah.
Yes, mm-hmm.
- And what we should keep to ourselves.
- That's fair. That's fair. - And so,
I would make the same decision again.
So, that's issue number one.
Where I have the biggest issue,
is you spreading the narrative
that me, Gizelle, and Ashley were in cahoots
on a coverup for Juan
and deliberately plotted on your husband.
- It was very uncharacteristic of you to go
against your friend
and come to the defense of Chris and me.
- I noticed he was waiting for me.
- Hmm.
- And he says to me, "Can I talk to you in your room?"
- Mm-hmm.
- Okay, no problem 'cause I assumed my glam was there.
- He didn't say anything inappropriate.
He didn't touch her.
He literally just asked to have a private conversation.
I don't think it's a big deal.
I think whatever you were saying
was out of concern for your wife.
- Mm-hmm. - Why talk about it now?
I said that. - Right.
I think that you knew what Gizelle was planning to do.
- No. - Yes.
- Like, do you know how disgusting that is?
- It's disgusting that you are friends with someone
who does this for lunch and then goes to sleep.
Birds of a feather flock together.
- Oh, my God. - I don't--
I don't understand why I am not allowed
to feel a particular way,
and you make it about you.
- You-- what? That's it. [laughing]
- Why is the way that I feel about you?
I-I didn't say what I said-- - What? Really?
Because people take it as fact,
and so, as fact,
I covered up for my husband,
and how dare you lie on Chris
and participate in a plot?
You don't see the problem in that?
- You're putting the way that you think
and the way that you would react on me.
That's not the way I choose to move,
because I wanna give you the benefit of the doubt
and-and talk to you about what happened.
- You wanna give me the benefit of the doubt
after you-- after multiple times?
- And see, like, where-where we got--
how we got to this point. - You literally--
you literally went-- - And where you may or may not
have said something-- - Okay, okay.
- That I didn't understand. - Okay, okay, okay.
- Like, it's-- you're putting that onto me.
- I'm sorry. All right. Okay, all right.
So-so, we're-we're good.
So-- So, now you know how I feel.
You feel that I have the propensity
to make up lies about your husband
and plot on your husband.
So, you should never want to be my friend.
All right.
**
- Goodbye. Have a good day.
- Next time, on "The Real Housewives of Potomac."
- I am taking the girls to Surry County.
I actually put all of the names that I wanted
into a hat, and I pulled them.
[laughing]
- Karen invited myself, Ashley, Candiace, and Wendy.
- Hmm.
- One, two, three! [screaming]
- You called me a bitch. You called my mom a witch.
You talked about my husband.
- You can't curse at somebody and think that
they're not gonna say something.
- I'm no longer interested.
