- Previously, on The Real Housewives of Potomac...
- In my leggings, I like to put a little something.
Like, I'll put a little piece of fabric there sometimes.
- GNA, Gizelle n Ashley-- it's actually like
a Lululemon meets Rihanna's Savage line.
- Grandma's farm is doing really, really well.
- Oh, good, good, good.
- It took me almost a year to get my Aunt Val
to agree to sell me a piece of her land
in Surry County.
I am planning on taking the girls down.
But because of insurance purposes,
I'm gonna draw your names from a fishbowl.
[gasps]
- She invited myself, Ashley,
Candiace, and Wendy.
- Hmm. [laughing]
- So, I immediately texted back
"I won't be attending."
So, now the whole group just got another text from Karen.
"So, I'm inviting each and every one of you
"to my farm in Surry."
- I don't know what Mia was on last night
in the text messages because, what the (BLEEP)?
- You know, launching the brand, launching Happy Eddie.
The cannabis industry is growing.
It's new. I'm back in school.
- Eddie has gone in to weed, okay?
- Is, uh, everyone invited in the group?
- Yeah, it's-it's-it's really his thing.
- Okay.
[music playing softly]
- 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.

- Hello. - Hi.
Um, looking for, like, a breathable,
like, jersey kind of material.
- For stretchy material... - Yeah.
- ...you just go up the ramp, and it'll be on the right side,
around the midsection.
- Okay, thank you. - Sure.
- This is, like, super stretchy.
- There you are. - Hi.
- Hey, hey.
- Like, everything under the sun.
- I know, so many patterns.
How are you? - Okay, flower child.
- Okay, tangerine.
- Okay, so, I just pulled, like, some fabric--
- Okay. - That I felt like was stretchy
and, like, cute colors. - Okay, this, right?
- Like, I really, like-like, coral.
- Oh, this? Oh. - Well, I knew you would like this.
I pulled this actually for you.
- Did you? - I was like this is Ashley.
- Look at these flowers. It's amazing.
- Yes.
Yes! I like our name!
GNA all day. Come to play. Yes!
So, how about GNA?
- What is this? Preschool?
[laughing]
- Okay, so-- - Oh, they are brutal.
- They are the worst.
We wanna have, like, a showcase slash fashion show.
- I also invited Mia, just so you know.
- Okay, so, Robyn's coming. - Oh, Robyn's coming.
- Yes. - Oh, good.
- We need the people to know that this is serious.
We're really doing it.
Leave it to GNA to fix all coochie sweat.
- This is beautiful. - I think this is, like,
a nice, pretty, bright color.
- This will look good on every skin tone.
- Yes. - This and-
and turquoise look good on every skin tone.
- Yes.
- Robyna! - Hi.
Hey. How are you?
- Oh, so glad you could make it.
- So, like, what do you want your leggings to look like?
What print do you want, Robyn?
Do you want polka dots? - No.
Okay, you want me to pick somethin' out?
- Hey. - Hey.
- Hey, hot stuff. - How are you?
- You're so tan.
- I mean, I'm just suntan Barbie.
- You look so good.
I haven't seen you in so long.
Oh, my God. - I know.
Okay, good-good question for you two,
'cause Ashley and I differ in this.
- Okay. Uh-huh. - When you work out...
- Uh-huh. - Do you get coochie sweat?
- Yes, I get ass crack sweat, too.
- Ass crack sweat. Okay, do you?
- Swamp ass, yeah. - Yeah.
- So, we were thinking to put some, like, extra material
in the coochie area. - Yeah, you should.
- Oh, like something more absorbent or something?
- More absorbent.
- Like, also taking care of, like, the camel toes.
- Yeah. - That's a good point, Mia.
- Exactly. - Yeah, yeah, yeah.
- Camel toe happens when there's, like, a seam
right down the middle.
- I-I get it regardless of the seam.
It makes a seam. - You got a built-in seam.
- Ooh, on a-- [laughing]
- Mia, girl, your coochie is not your coochie.
It's the coochie that your doctor built, okay?
- I even had my clit worked on.
- You did what now?
- All right.
- I'm excited for you guys. - Thank you.
Thank you. Thank you. - Yeah.
- Um... - So, what's been going on?
Did you go to Surry? - Yes, she did.
- Yes, I did go to Surry. - Chile...
- Yes. Okay, so do you know there was a first invite?
- Uh, yeah. - Okay.
- Like, if you want someone to be there,
just stop at the original invite, right?
- Yes. - Just be like, "Please come."
- Right.
- "I'm able to, you know, accommodate.
"I've worked things out." - Yeah.
- Cool. I would have been there.
- So, then she sends an invite, like, trying to flip it on us
because we're not available at 12 hours notice.
Like... [sighs]
- Karen, that's, like, rude.
That is rude as (BLEEP).
- And, Mia, she was mad at you, honey.
She was like, "Man, Mia, how dare Mia?"
- How dare me?
First of all, I don't do second string.
I'm a first round draft pick. So...
- So, the bus ride down was interesting.
- Okay.
- I will say that Wendy, she did invite everybody,
by the way, except Nneka, to Eddie's thing tomorrow.
- No, Nneka was on there. - What?
- Oh. - Oh, Nneka is on there.
- Yeah, she's on there.
- Okay, she must have had a change of heart. So...
- I wanted to follow in the precedent of Karen's fishbowl
and invite everyone. This is open invite.
- Oh, are you going?
- I'm gonna go. - Okay, yes.
- 'Cause y'all be there.
- We're supposed to have a plus one.
- Well... - Eddie texted the guys.
- Because G likes Eddie. - But I'm sure--
I'm sure Iyke didn't get an invite.
- He wasn't on the chat.
- Let the men be men. - Bro-bro-bro-bro-bro.
- They allow us to be women. - We're not gonna do this.
- Okay, Iyke was not on the chat.
- Oh, Iyke was not on the chat.
[laughing]
- Hi, Andy. How are you?
- Very good.
- So, we're in production, right now.
- Yes.
Hopefully, by the first week of December,
we're gonna be able to be launching.
- So, just in time for the holidays,
we'll be on people's shelves.
I'm a lawyer by trade for a prominent Fintech company,
but the lawyer hat
is just one of the many hats that I wear.
Bido is a sparkling wine collection.
I love champagne. I love bubbles.
When I wake up in the morning, the first thing I'll do,
is take my multivitamins, my prenatal vitamins.
I take all of those with a glass of champagne
because I start my day with bubbles,
and I end my day with bubbles.
And I'm making high quality sparkling wine
that tastes like champagne,
not made in Champagne, France,
but everyone can afford it.
[doorbell ringing] All right, Andy,
I will talk to you later.
Let me go see who is bothering me
and ringing my doorbell.
- Okay, thank you so much. - Talk soon. Bye.
Lebe Star! - Hi, baby love.
- You ring the doorbell now? - Yeah, girl.
Izzy. Izzy!
- My baby. - Hey, my love.
- You look so beautiful, as always.
- Oh, thank you.
[rewinding]
- There was some issue with you possibly using her name,
and there was anger
because she felt that it was somewhat of a clout chase.
- You just caught me at the end of my Bido meeting.
- Yes.
- Everything's coming together. [doorbell ringing]
Everybody and their mama's here.
Do they see my car outside or something?
[laughing]
- Hey!
You look so cute. - Thank you, darling.
- Oh, my gosh, Lebe is here.
- Oh, really? Hello.
- Hey, my darling, how are you?
- Look how cute she looks. - I know.
- I just came from work.
- Let me get you a cup.
I still have so much left to do.
It's, like, overwhelming.
- Your house is beautiful, though.
- Thanks, girl.
Every day, it's, like, progress.
Okay, you guys, so I need help with my closet upstairs.
- All right.
- You guys know I have so much stuff.
So, I don't have furniture upstairs yet,
so we have to carry chairs.
- Not a problem. I'm here for you.
- Can do it.
- I would love my friends to see where I'm living
and, like, how I'm getting settled,
but my house is still not together, honey.
I don't even have a damn oven.
My stove isn't even there.
I got a whole island with an empty space in the middle.
So, I'm-I'm having an unpacking party.
I will foot the bill for my friends
to unpack my wedding gifts.
- Girl, I saw your husband's car.
Where is he? - He's at work.
Girl, he's still doing the traveling medicine life.
[gasps] - No.
- I know. It's been so crazy
because, like, with the unpacking,
like, it literally just feels like it's all me.
- All right. So, what do you want us to do, though?
- Well, right now, we can just [indistinct]
because a lot has been going on,
including my party that's coming up,
my unpacking party.
I'm doing pajamas themed.
I want something, like, girls night, fun, chill.
Of course, we'll have my bubbles.
Then I'll have catered food and some games,
just, like, girlfriend time.
- Oh, that'll be fun. Yeah.
- Are you good with Wendy being there?
Like, are you comfortable?
- Is she gonna come? That's the question.
- Well, even if she comes or doesn't come,
it is what it is.
And she actually invited me to her event that she's having.
So, I thought that was really nice.
- It's her turf. - Mm-hmm.
- So, just have that in mind.
If you go, you're walking into her territory.
- It is what it is,
and the facts aren't gonna change.
Like, this thing happened.
So, I can either sit there and dwell on it and be upset,
or I can just be like, okay, I'm here.
She and I share the same friends.
Let's see if we can still move-
move past it, even. - Co-exist, absolutely, yeah.
- I will just keep my phone on loud.
[laughing] - Turn your volume up.
Turn it up, girl. - I'll leave it on loud,
you know, just in case you need me
to drive down there and come pick you up.
[laughing]
- Coming up...
- If we're gonna talk about rumors...
now I'm gonna say it. You're ----ing a married man.
**
- "Keith wants a divorce,
and Lincoln wants me to start--"
- Hello, dear. - Hi.
- What are you doin'? - I am trying to learn these lines
'cause, apparently, we're doing this today on set.
- Oh, exciting.
- So, I did not tell you.
We were on set last night, but it was already, like,
after midnight, so they just wrapped us.
- Oh.
- So, we have to do all of this
plus the two scenes we did not do yesterday.
I can't stay the whole time today.
- That's fine.
I mean, Eddie sent me the invite, too,
with, um, yeah, me, and G, and Juan.
- Oh, okay, this is your assignment.
So, I need the- the calm marijuana.
- Calm marijuana.
- And it needs to be a pre-roll,
so that I can replace my emergency blunt drawer.
I have been a very busy bee, of late.
I've been traveling, on the road, performing.
* It's about to be a situation *
* if I pull up hanging at the G *
Acting...
Hey, are you doing okay?
[sighs] - Yeah.
- And I'm literally in the middle
of shooting my scripted show.
It's a challenging space, for sure.
Like, it's a lot.
Um, oh, I need to text Wendy,
but let me...
I just wanna make sure she's gonna be there
right when we get there.
- Okay.
- How you gonna feel seein' ol' forehead?
What's her name? Ashley.
And ankles.
- I don't care.
I haven't seen anybody since New York.
You still have not told me what I did.
- I'm-I'm getting there.
- Well, let's go. - Okay.
Oh, oh, okay. - You've had ten months.
- All right, no, no, no.
- I've suffered through this for ten months.
- I waited for you to-- okay. - Losing clients, losing money,
answering to my children, answering to my family!
If someone says, "Hello,"
of course, I'm going to be nice.
I'm going to say, "Hello," back.
Besides, everyone is gonna be high.
- Yeah. - I've never met
an angry stoner.
[laughing]
In my head, it's like...
what's up, bro? [laughing]
**
- All right.
Look at this. See?
We're at a dispensary, baby. It's gonna come to fruition
later this summer. - Okay, baby.
Uh, all right. - Coming soon.
You better be happy all the time, too,
with Happy Eddie. - I'm-I'm trying, baby.
- We're rolling joints today.
- I know.
Ooh. - Hello.
- Hi, guys. - Hi.
You are fabulous. - Nice to meet you.
- How you doin'? - What's going on, man.
How you doing, man? - Hey, brother.
- So good to meet you. - Thank you.
Great to meet you, too. - Great to see you, man.
Hello, Hope.
Finally. - Yes.
Let's go upstairs.
I'll show y'all the event space.
- Okay, yes, yes.
There's a whole licensing process to get
into the cannabis industry,
and so I brought Happy Eddie to life
through this partnership with Curio Wellness.
And so, we have, you know, two strains,
Energized Eddie and Mellow Eddie,
and we have a third strain that's coming online,
33% THC,
and drumroll, please... - Drumroll, please.
- The name-- the name of it is...
[imitating drumroll]
Zen Wen.
Oh, wow. - Oh, this is nice.
- Oh, wow, yes. - Thank you.
So, we got everything set up for you guys.
- Okay.
- This is beautiful. - Mm-hmm, mm-hmm.
So, we're not gonna roll actual cannabis today
just 'cause I don't wanna scare anybody.
So, we are going to roll oregano,
like, just spices. - Okay.
- Okay, yeah.
So, they learn the technique here.
- Yes. - And they go home,
and then they can do it, okay. - You know.
- So, here I am
thinking I'm about to be Zen Wen.
I'm thinking I'm about to come in
and just float in the sky.
I just gotta think-- I gotta think through this one.
- Hello. - Hey, happy wife.
[laughing]
- What's happening, brother? - How are you, man?
- Good to see you. - Hello, Happy Eddie.
- Hello, Candiace. How are you?
- Good. - Yes, yes, okay.
Okay, Candiace and Chris. - Good to see you.
- So, I-I actually have to run.
I have to go. - Oh, my gosh.
- I'm-I'm shooting a show, a TV show, a scripted show.
- But Chris is staying. - And he is staying.
- Oh, yeah, I'm staying. - Okay, okay.
- Yes, he's gonna be here. - Of course.
- Okay, but, baby, we got boxes.
- We got-- - Do I get a box even though
I'm not able to stay? - Yes.
- You have a box. - That has my name on it.
- No. Oh, Lord.
- Courtesy of Hope and Happy Eddie.
- How did this make it upstairs?
- Oh, this is heavy. - Yes, yes.
- So, how did this make it upstairs?
- You have to embrace this?
- No.
- Bye. Love you.
- Hi. - Hi.
- Hi. Where are you going? - How are you?
I have to go shoot for "Hush."
I literally have to be on set, like, right now.
- Oh, my gosh. Well, you look beautiful.
- So, I-- thank you. Hi. - [indistinct] shirt.
- Thank you. - Yeah, have fun.
You look beautiful. - Is my boy here?
- Yeah, he's up there. He's waiting on the men.
- All right, okay. - Okay, let's do it.
- Yes, yes. Have-- it-it's nice.
Have fun. - Is it? Okay.
- Okay. - I'll see y'all soon, though.
- Bye, babe. - All right.
Let me put my weed in the back, so nobody sees it.
- Hi. - Hey, Mia.
[laughing] - Hello.
- Eddie, the first thing I saw was your face.
- Wait a minute. Did you see me?
- Stop. - Hey, babe.
- Hello, sorry, G. - How are you?
Hi, are you allowed to smile at us, now?
- How you doin', man? - Good to see you, man?
- Oh, yeah, I'm smiling now. We're Happy Eddie.
You gotta smile now. - It's all good, okay.
- Hey, Mia, how you doin'? - You look beautiful.
- Oh, thank you, babe.
Ashley, hi.
How are you? - I'm taking it all in.
- You look gorgeous. - How are you, babe?
- How are you? - So good.
How are you? - I am good.
- Honestly, after I said what I said
and made Candiace aware of a situation
that I thought she needed to know about--
- But-- - But some of your actions
were just a little questionable.
- Man, (BLEEP) that sh--, Ashley.
No, I'm trying to-- - I'm just saying, that's all.
- No, no, I'm done. - That's enough. All right.
- I'm just done. (BLEEP) that sh--.
- It wasn't even bad. - No, (BLEEP) you.
- It's over. - What did I say that was bad?
I have no interest in ever discussing Chris,
speaking to Chris, looking at Chris.
I don't want him to not exist, that's mean.
But, you know, you have no place in my realm.
Hi, cutie pie. - I love it.
- Yes. - You look so good.
- I know. We're so floral.
- Hi. How are you?
Hello. - Hello.
- Hi. - How are you?
- Hi, Karen. - How are you?
- Congratulations, mama. Muah, muah.
- How you doin'? Good to see you.
- Hi, Matt. - Hey.
- Hi, babe, how are you?
- Hi, Matt, how you doin'? Thank you for coming.
- ...From Surry, you got your-- you calmed down.
- No, I have not calmed down.
- Hi. - Hi, Mia.
- So, what? Are we not hugging me?
- How are you? - Okay, nice to see you.
- You look cute.
Oh, okay. - Handshakes first.
- I like this.
- I'm gonna go ahead and get this outta the way
'cause we're here to celebrate.
- Okay, yes.
- Uh, when I texted the group,
what I didn't understand was your response to my invite.
- That I don't do second string invites?
- You-- no, you weren't second string.
You weren't even first string.
You were the backup.
[laughing]
- I need a second. Can we--?
Everybody give me a second just to take this in.
Chile, they both talk to the back of your forehead.
- Let-let me help you understand why I'm upset.
It was not about you. - No, it was being 100%--
- It's about the group. - But you can't sit here
and be upset for you being rude. - You know what I'm
working toward in this group.
You know what I'm working toward with this group.
- And then trying to last minute invite.
- It's to give everybody an opp--
- And then, honestly, Karen, I should be upset at you
because you except me to drop everything--
- It is to give everybody an opportunity.
You said, "I don't..." - And leave my kids
to go to boring-ass Surry County.
I'm not doing it.
- Mia, it's better than your boring-ass life.
- I'm not doing it. - I'll tell you that.
- Oh, my life is boring?
Oh, pfft. - Mia, really.
But let-- - Why-why are we doing that?
How did-- how did we get to this point?
- The fruit punch is really good, Eddie.
- Yeah. [laughing]
- Gizelle bails on people-- - No, no, uh, no.
I wanted the group who care about the group
to be there. - No problem.
- You know what I like about it?
The ice is cold.
Mmm.
- I thought, after the hug we had at Candiace's event,
that you and I would definitely have a moment.
- Listen, I'm gonna need for you--
- I thought, after the hug we had at Candiace's event,
that you and I would definitely have a moment--
- Listen, I'm gonna need for you--
Old dog, find some new trick, okay?
- Where I can depend on you at a--
- Find some new tricks.
- You are the trick.
- It's not working for you no more.
- You are the trick. That's what that is.
What lady calls a woman a dog?
Let's talk about the caliber of woman you are.
I brought you into this group.
You don't owe me but one thing. That's respect.
And if you don't have that, you are a trick.
I don't start this sh--. I finish it.
[scoffs]
- Hi. - Hi. You look cute.
- Hi. - She dressed like a joint.
- Hi. - Welcome.
- Hi, how are you? - Great to see you.
Now, that's an entrance. - Hey.
I ain't seen you in a minute.
How we feelin'?
- Girl, let me tell you. - Yeah.
- Oh, you know what? - Who?
- You need a proper update about our secondhand invite.
- She is upset because I basically told her
she a old dog, and she need to learn new tricks.
- Oh, Karen is an old dog? She--
Hi. Well, I heard-I heard you're an old dog,
and you need to learn new tricks?
[laughing]
- That is the trick in the room.
- Is that-- is that what happened?
- That is the trick in the room.
We're good. We don't have to do that.
- Oh. - Where the weed at?
- Uh... - How are you?
- Where is the weed at?
- Hi, babe, how are you? - Can we find the weed?
- It might loosen people up a little bit.
- My thing is, how does she come to my event,
and she didn't even say hi to me?
- Hey, mama, how you doin', beautiful?
- I am good, muah.
- Good to see you.
Hey, mama.
- Hi, hi. - Hi.
- Yeah.
- Hi. - Hi.
How are you?
- I'm gonna stand right here. - Yeah, I hear you.
- Hi, Robyn. - Hi, babe. Hi, oh.
- Hi, everyone.
- Hey, ladies.
So, if y'all wanna have a seat...
- Is somebody already sitting here?
- No-- you.
- I'm gonna sit right wit' you, Giz.
- Okay, okay. - Mm-hmm.
- How about Chris? I'm worried Chris.
Chris, we saved a seat for you up front.
Yes. - I get the front of the class?
- You're gonna sit up here with me and Eddie.
We got you. - There you go, there you go.
- I have not seen Chris Bassett since he was at that reunion.
Looks like he's gained some weight.
He's doing some, um, stress eating.
[laughing]
- So, I wanna thank everyone for comin'.
You know, cannabis is becoming legalized
this July in Maryland.
It's a billion dollar industry, and so it's something
that I wanted to be a part of,
and so I do appreciate you all coming today.
I do appreciate you all, you know, showing support.
- I have not known Eddie to have a real job
since I've met him.
I have never known an always available attorney
that actually makes money.
It's okay if you wanna be the weed man.
Pass the blunt.
Huff, puff, pass, thank you.
- So, we will be doing this joint rolling
with oregano. - With oregano.
- It's oregano, so it's not cannabis.
- It's not cannabis. It's not legal yet.
- It's parsley and oregano. - Yeah.
- No experimenting today.
- She mad that it's not real weed.
[laughing] - Can't puff what she like--
- So, let's start the rolling class.
- Okay. - Um, so,
we're gonna pass out some substances.
- Some spices.
- How you gonna have a weed party ain't no weed?
I mean...
- This fake-ass weed--
let's roll some cauliflower next time.
I don't know.
- I really, really wanted to know
how to roll some seasoning.
I could go to YouTube.
- Oh, what are you doing? You got--
- I wanna roll a big blunt.
- I don't think this is right. - I don't either.
- I feel like I'm prepping meat to put
on the grill or somethin'.
- This is going right on my chicken later.
- Let's see everybody's joint.
- Can everybody hold it up? What'd you do?
- Can I see y'all's?
- Okay, we got some good ones. - Everybody hold up--
Oh. - Oh.
- You know what?
- It's like a workout. - This is a little souvenir.
I'm proud of this. This was nice.
- You should be. That is impressive.
- Okay, guys, I wanted to say thank you to Hope,
and I will say this.
I have not heard us all laugh as a group like this
in a very long time.
So, if-if nothing else, thank you for being happy
at the Happy Eddie event, and I appreciate that.
- Was I laughing? Was Gizelle laughing?
I don't remember Gizelle laughing.
[laughing]
- I wish I could stay longer, but I gotta run, I gotta jump.
I got a couple conference calls
and a couple other things going on.
- Oh, man, I really appreciate you coming.
- All right, buddy.
All right, babe.
All right, love you. - I love you.
- Okay.
- Mia... - Yes, lovey.
- I wanted to check in with you.
- Yeah.
- I wanted to see how you guys are doing.
- Yeah, I mean, ha, we're doing good.
You know, in marriage, marriage is already hard enough.
- And I'm just like, you know, I actually wanna kinda
clock the (BLEEP) out, right?
But it's like I can't leave him now.
He has nobody.
Like, what type of person would I be, at this point?
His whole-- his family has, like...
- Turned their back on him?
- And they don't give a sh-- if he's eating tomorrow.
- Listen, any time a woman marries a man
that is 15 years-plus older than her,
I don't know what the age difference is
'cause Mia keep lying, but you have to deal with a lot.
- Thank you, guys. Thank you, ladies.
- All right, ladies. Thank you.
- Thank you. - Thank you.
- Appreciate you guys. [applause]
- Congratulations. - Thank you.
- Now, what do you do with the oregano?
- You leave it there. Yeah. - Okay.
- Keep the vibes high.
- Hey, Wendy, can I borrow you for two seconds, please?
- Thanks, mama. - Sure.
- Over here.
So, thank you for inviting me and extending this olive branch.
- Mm-hmm. Mm-hmm.
- I do really appreciate it considering, like, everything.
- Mm-hmm.
- You know, and I know there's been a lot
that's been said between us, but I really would like
the opportunity to sit down and, like, maybe we can talk,
hash things out, move forward or not move forward,
but I would like to have one-on-one time with you.
- Okay, well, thank you for coming.
Um, I wanna make sure
everything is rooted in sincerity.
You know, even, like, if you had apologized for, like,
the bitch comment.
- I hadn't, but I would like to talk.
Do you know what I'm saying? So, that's all part of it.
You said 20 steps had been skipped, right?
So, this is step one, asking you to sit down
to have a private conversation.
- It's just gonna take some time for me to process it,
but I do receive what you're saying.
Now, all of a sudden, you're asking for
a one-on-one conversation. I don't need that,
especially after the way you have come for me.
- I'm very confused.
I'm invited here to roll oregano.
I'm thinking this is an opportunity to move forward,
only to kind of get pushback. So, think about it.
- Yeah, I receive what you're saying.
- Okay, again, thanks for the invitation.
I know that was a large olive branch,
and I appreciate that.
- No problem and thank you for coming.
- Okay, congratulations. It's-it's really dope.
- Thank you. Thank you.
- Coming up next...
- With the divorce... - Uh-huh.
I want you to think about this for a minute.
We're still coparenting the kids,
but we work out some kind of arrangement
**
That's America's ass. [laughing]
- My titty is about to be America's titty.
So, if my titty comes out, let me know.
Hi, ladies. Hello, gorgeous. - How are you?
- Good. - Good. How are you?
Two. - Get y'all seated.
- Okay, thank you. - Thank you.
Date day-- I'm glad that we're doing this.
This is what, our second time since we had therapy?
- Yeah. I think it's important for us
to do what the therapist has recommended, right?
- Uh-huh, agreed. - Because, you know,
the reason why we went to her in the first place
was because we wanted to, you know, get together.
- Almost a check-in. Yeah, right.
- You know, we have to, like, find a way to have balance.
We are continuing to see a therapist
to work on our relationship.
We're gonna do the pad Thai slaw.
- Absolutely. - Let's do a...
- Bang-bang broccoli. - Gordon.
We're trying to take her advice
and spend more quality time together. Yeah.
- You got kids, family drama, so much going on.
- Yeah. - So, just taking time
to just be with your partner and really hear each other out.
- And the reason why we go on the day dates
is because we don't have a nanny.
Let's get your shoes on. You guys have five minutes.
We're actually on time today.
It's a problem for me. Mm-hmm.
- Pad Thai slaw. - Thank you.
- You're welcome. Enjoy.
- I need a-- I need regular utensils.
- Absolutely, I got you. - Thank you.
- You're welcome.
- So, I think it's important for us to, like,
follow up with therapy. - Mm-hmm, agreed.
- And stay consistent with that. - Agreed. Cheers.
- The family business, that's obviously
impacting our relationship. - Cheers.
- Cheers, baby. - Okay.
- So, I think-- - Agree 'cause you cut me
deep and hard pretty often.
- Well, it's a lot, babe. It's a lot to-- you know.
- I know. I agree.
- And I think that there just needs to be
a lot of self-accountability, and, um,
I just feel like that wasn't happening.
- What do you mean wasn't happening?
- With your siblings, like, I don't feel like
you were taking self-accountability
of your actions that caused us to get to this point.
I'm not blaming him, but I am concerned
that he doesn't see the role that he played
that caused the sequence of events
for him to get kicked out that then caused me
not to continue to be in my role,
which then caused us to have to move,
and then I don't have a nanny.
It's like, hello, like, we didn't just wake up one day,
and the family said, "Hey, we no longer want you guys
sitting in these seats."
- Well, I-I agree and disagree because I've been asking,
what did I do wrong, and the only thing
that's been said is, I wasn't listening.
- We did get to a point where I was ready to divorce you.
You know what I mean? - Mm-hmm.
- So, but I was ready to-- - But I didn't know that,
but okay. - You-- but you did.
Well, you didn't know that, at the time,
but you know that now. - I didn't know it at the time
until I saw the receipts from the lawyer
that you had been talking to, but, okay, go ahead.
- Yeah.
So, but the reasoning why, you know, wasn't--
had no financial backing whatsoever.
It was because we were in a hostile environment and--
- We need to clarify "hostile environment."
I never physically touched you.
- No, yeah. - Okay, be clear about it.
I wanna be clear about that. - Yeah, no, of course not.
- Okay, okay.
- My thing is, you know, it just--
it was so emotionally draining
to just be in the same habitat with you.
You know what I mean?
- So, generally speaking, men and women look at situations
a little differently, and that's okay.
- You were being very hyena-ish.
Ahh! - Okay.
- You were and very, like, "I'm in charge.
I'm running this. This is my house.
This is my money."
And I was like, playa, take your money and go.
I don't-- - But you are still here.
So, my question is--
- But I'm still here because you made changes, like,
not just taking me for granted
because I've been here for ten years.
Do you know what I mean?
I went over to Ashley's a couple days ago,
and she had told me she had helped Michael
'cause he was having back surgery,
and I thought to myself, girl, you're a good one
'cause let me tell you, if you cheat on me,
and you need back surgery, bitch,
you better call one of them other hos, okay?
I don't know. It made me think.
Like, do you think that she's actually
getting a divorce?
- I-I never thought so from the beginning.
- Really?
Why didn't you ever tell me this?
- Why-why-why give up the sugar daddy?
I mean, sh--. [laughing]
It's a good gig, if you can get it.
How do you think you and I would have handled
that same situation? - With the divorce?
- Uh-huh.
- Oh, you woulda gave me some type of settlement.
- No, it wouldn't have gotten that far.
- Why?
- We would have come to an arrangement.
Probably still stayed together.
Now, I want you to think about this for a minute.
I get what I want because I'm near a beautiful woman.
You get what you want by still having me around.
We're still coparenting the kids,
and we would probably work out some kind of arrangement
that's mutually beneficial.
There is no event-- - Really?
What would that look like, Gordon?
- Think about it. - Let me take some notes.
- I-I mentioned to you before casually,
and I think you got mad at me. Remember?
- Probably. - You did.
- Uh, I don't really know how to comment on that.
I don't know.
I don't know how to comment on that.
- In other words, if we could find a deal
that makes sense and works out-- - Okay.
- Why would we split up?
- I don't think that
there's no amount of money that would keep a person
in captivity. - Well, just--
- I know, at least for me, I know that.
- Yeah.
- Coming up next...
- Never have I considered paying for some vitamin D.
- Charrisse, have you ever, you know, just--
[laughing]
**
- Thank you for doing that.
You have a talent. I can see.
So, this is my first time having all the girls over.
- Oh, really? So, who his all coming?
- I invited everyone.
You know, I'm trying to forge a path forward with Wendy,
so I invited her, as well.
- I think the first step is her showing up.
That would be really nice. So, hopefully she comes through,
and if she does, I mean, I'll be happy to see her.
I'll welcome her with open arms.
- And it's so ironic because, you know,
my sparkling wine company is Bido, the beginning.
- Mm-hmm, the beginning.
- This is the beginning of Wendy and I.
If she comes today, it's our new beginning.
You know, Wendy did invite me to her Happy Eddie event,
and I invited her to my unpacking party.
I didn't hear from her that she wasn't coming,
so I am expecting to see her.
- Too bed Ikenna is missing out on the food.
When does he come back? - Oh, my gosh,
he's not coming back until next week.
He signed a new contract locally.
- Oh.
- So, instead of doing travel medicine
in all the regions that he's covering now--
- Okay, yeah, yeah.
- He's now gonna be doing it in Montgomery County.
- He'll be in one area. Oh, awesome.
That's really good. - Should I do both buckets?
One can be soft drinks and then mimosas with Bido.
- Absolutely, love it.
- both: Bido, Bido, Bido, Bido, Bido, Bido.
[laughing]
**
- Hey. - Hi.
Oh, my gosh, beautiful. - I did some loungewear today.
- You look so cute.
- Okay, so, the dog might run out.
I just wanna make sure we shut the door.
- The dog is gonna eat your feet, girl.
- Okay. - This dog is just on one today.
- Hi. How are you guys?
- Hey, how are you? Nice to meet you.
- I'm good. I'm Gizelle.
- You-- did you meet her before?
- Nji. - She's my older sister.
And this is my friend, Chavon. - I can see the resemblance.
- Hi. I'm Chavon. Oh! - Hi, Chavon.
- This is my friend, Gizelle. - So good to meet you.
- Very nice to meet you.
- My collection is here of Bido.
These are the samples. - Love.
- And you guys are gonna be my first group of friends,
collectively, to try my product.
- To try, love that. I love that.
- Right now, we are so far along with Bido.
We are almost ready to get it into consumers' hands.
You know, everything I do in life
is very fast, honey.
I have been working on this project for, like,
four months.
So, it is Speedy Gonzalez in this bitch.
Like, we just pumping it out.
**
Yeah, mama Mia! - Hi. Hey.
- Oh, he can smell his wife on you.
- I know, right? Welcome to Potomac.
- Hi, darling. Thank you so much.
- Oh, this is gorgeous. - Thank you.
Come in. Come in. Come in.
- Beautiful. Well, hi. - How are you?
- This is so good. - Yeah, right?
- I'm taking it in. - Wait a minute.
So, this is your first time? - Yes.
- Oh, my gosh.
- Yeah. - Wow.
**
- Hello. - Hello. Hi, darling.
Thank you so much. - Let the party begin.
- Look at you. You are ready, honey.
- Charrisse! - Hello!
- You get a grand welcome. [doorbell ringing]
Hello, Karen. - Hello, beautiful.
You like the PJs?
- Here are the ladies. - Hi, ladies.
- Hi. - How are you?
- How are you, Karen? - I'm good. I'm good.
Hello, everyone.
- Everyone says hello, everyone. - Welcome. Say hi.
- I said-- I said, on behalf of everyone, hello.
- Hi. Oh, you have, like, other friends
that I haven't met. - Hi.
- Hey. - You look so good.
- Hi, gorgeous. - Hey.
- Okay, you look good. You look so cute.
- Very much. Happy Saturday vibes.
- Hey, hot mama. - Hi, everybody. Hello.
Hi, hi. - You look good.
- Thank you. - Well, all right.
- I know. I told y'all I don't have pajamas.
- So, K, is Wendy coming 'cause she was invited?
- It was a no. - Oh.
- She just said that she didn't feel comfortable.
- Was she gonna tell the host?
- Well, she told me, also. She did leave a message.
- Uh, uh, she said that she didn't feel--
I thought that she delivered the message.
- She should've told the host.
- It's okay. We're used to the disrespect.
- Am I supposed to forget the way in which
you have come into this group guns a-blazing for me?
And now, you are asking to come unpack boxes
in your house. Girl, call U-Haul.
Leave me the hell out of it.
- Hello. Hi. - Hi.
- Hi, Candiace. - Hi.
- More pajamas.
- Well, what we should now, let's open some boxes.
These are my wedding gifts. - Girl, not your wedding gifts.
- Yes, honey, y'all are gonna unpack
some precious jewels, okay?
- I mean, Nneka is a vibe, right?
So, the girl likes to party.
Just don't have me unbox sh--.
[laughing]
That is where I draw the line.
- Like, you got married, what, two years ago,
and you haven't opened up your wedding presents.
I mean, why?
Like, I don't-- I don't understand.
So, Nneka is an interesting character.
- Okay, so, are we unpacking over here?
- Okay, so, we'll let you start. We're gonna pass it down.
- Okay.
- Oh! - I got it.
- Crate and Barrel-- - We wanna pass these around?
- It says, "Wishing you both
"many blissful years together in love."
- Natasha kept it very, very light.
- Is there is a card?
- Who is Natasha 'cause that was a--
- Natasha is not your friend.
- But you look very refreshed, Karen.
I meant to tell you the other day.
- Yes.
- Does she not look very refreshed? But it--
- Maybe it's the makeup you like.
- Was it-- was it lately that you--
that you got a refresh? - Where is this headed?
- I'm just asking.
I wanna, um, give a compliment when compliment is due.
- Thank you.
Oh, no. - Are we good with Mia today?
- Mia, I understand that your feelings are hurt
that I retaliated, but I just wanna know one question, Mia.
- My feelings aren't hurt. No, I--
my feelings aren't hurt. - When are you gonna take the--
I brought you into this girlfriend group.
My question is-- okay. - Karen, how are you gonna be
upset at me for an invite that I can't make
with a 12-hour notice. - Okay, we discussed that.
We're not gonna rehash. - I was fine
until you came in guns blazing.
- We're gonna move along.
- Food is ready, ladies.
**
- What y'all are arguing about? What is happening?
- We're arguing because she-she got mad at me.
- Are we doing this, again?
- Well, that's because you called me a trick.
You know, it takes a trick to know a trick.
Someone is saying that you were dating his best friend.
You guys went to Vegas.
You had sex with him in the bathroom.
- Mia just wants my light.
I'm a grown-ass woman.
I don't have to shine on you, bitch.
- That's a trick behavior,
trickery. - Okay. So, for me,
you all have brought this to me for eight years.
I'm-I'm finding it hysterical.
But if we're gonna talk about rumors,
let me show you how that feels, okay?
- Yes. - 'Cause I've been nothing
but a friend to you. - Yeah.
- Now, I never came after your marriage
when I heard that you met up with a rapper,
but I didn't see it. - A rapper?
- Hold on. I didn't see it.
I also could have said you're ----ing a married man.
- Now, I never came after your marriage
when I heard that you met up with a rapper.
- Which one? - A rapper?
- I could've done that last year.
I also could have said you're ----ing a married man,
but I never did,
because it's dangerous, and it's a rumor,
and I saw nothing.
- If you hear it one time, it's a rumor.
But if you hear it from multiple sources,
it makes me wonder. - I did, too.
- It makes me wonder. - Oh, I did.
- I've never heard that. - No, I didn't hear anything
about Mia. - I-I-I did.
Now, would I name anybody? No.
No, because I just don't do that,
but she is openly dating. I'm just saying.
My God.
[laughing]
- First of all... [laughing]
It's not a rapper.
[laughing]
- And that's all that matters, but I--
- Okay, but do you wanna speak on that?
Have you been screwing a rapper?
- No, I have not. - YG, Lil-Lil Uzi Vert?
- Lil Uzi Vert. - No.
- Nor am I having any of these alleged things going on
for the last eight years. - Just hanging out.
Just hanging out with them, but we're not screwin'.
- Oh, so, there's two. - Oh, you were hanging out.
- Yes.
- Which one? YG? - Just-just two of you?
- Okay, all right, that's fine.
But you're not having sex. - But-but-- and Gordon--
and Gordon is there. - Gordon is there.
- Oh, Gordon was there. - Oh, Gordon is there.
- With the rapper or the married man?
- Gordon is the only married man
that I actually have sex with, and that is it.
I don't deny it. - I believe you.
- Yeah.
- That is why I didn't bring it to the group,
and I told you I'm not doing that.
- But you did bring it to the group.
This the group.
- I wouldn't mind you bringing it to the group.
- I did it to make a point that we have got to stop
doing the rumor thing.
- Mia strikes me as someone who is looking for security.
So, she's-she's gonna go for someone
who is going to support her, and her children,
and her lifestyle,
and that's not a rapper, girl.
They teach you nothing, you know,
in Hos Anonymous or wherever you went to school?
- Okay, you guys, um, I have a piece of paper.
Take one and pass it down, and we're gonna play
the classic game of never have I never.
So, right down never have I never
about something that you think someone here has done
but they're lying about, and you want them to confess.
- Okay, let's start.
Never have I ever considered paying for some vitamin D.
**
- Charrisse, have you ever, you know, just--
I'm just-- - Oh, wait a minute now.
- No, no, no, no, no!
- Have you paid for the D? - No, considered it--
just an idea. - Hell no.
- I think, if anybody in the group could have done it,
it would have been Charrisse
only because rich, old, divorced women
like no strings attached, you know.
And there's no judgment in it, you know.
Like, get your-- get your-- get yours how you get it.
- Never have I screenshot my friend's family picture
and saved it to my camera roll.
- What? - Wait, what?
- What? - I don't get it.
- Four or five years ago, Karen invited me to lunch.
So, she opens her phone, and in it was a picture of me
with my parents. - Stop.
- There might be an obsession there.
[laughing]
Years ago, we had lunch, and you were referencing
maybe a picture of your daughter or something.
- Yeah. - You were like,
"Oh, let me show you the picture,"
and you opened your camera roll, and, like,
one of the most recent pictures in your camera roll...
was a picture of me with my parents and my children.
- Really? - Yes, really, and I had--
- Well-well, if you say it's true, I don't--
I don't see you lying. I don't remember that.
- I'm not. - That's weird.
- But that-- I don't know.
Maybe I liked the picture, if I did it.
I'm not saying I didn't do it 'cause I-I will screenshot.
- Do you put it in a folder?
- So, you have a Robyn Dixon folder?
- I do.
**
- She might have pictures of us all.
She might have a whole gallery.
- She knows that that's weird.
- She might have a thing for Robyn's father.
I wouldn't be surprised.
- I actually like Robyn's parents.
If you had done the opposite to me,
and I found my mom and dad in your phone,
I'd be like, okay, she's thinking about my mom and dad,
not a big deal. - Uh...
- Oh, I'm so glad you guys came.
- All I'm having, is the drinks.
Look at me.
No, this is great. - This is good.
- You know, this is hers, like, her line.
- She told me.
- All right, ladies.
Everybody got champagne?
This moment is about Nneka.
Can I get y'all attention, please?
Nneka, I'm really proud of you.
This is everything.
A woman that goes after her own passion,
I wish you nothing but happiness and success.
- Yes. - Cheers.
- All right. - Success.
- Thank you. Thank you and God bless the house.
- Cheers to Nneka! - Cheers, a real bitch.
- The princess of Potomac. - Whoo-hoo!
Next time,
on "The Real Housewives of Potomac"...
- I'm super proud of you. - Thank you.
- I've given you all the tools to succeed.
- Right.
- We're going to the D.R.
- New Grande Dame of Potomac.
- Dun-dun-dun-dun.
- That's so ----ing stupid.
- The biggest thing for me is, you called my mom a witch.
- I did, but that came after the phone calls.
- You don't want peace. - No, you don't want peace.
- You don't want peace.
