Previously, on The Real Housewives of Potomac...
My man, Darius, and I, just found a house.
What does your man do?
Uh, my man is in the NFL,
Kansas City Chiefs.
Oh, they just won the Super Bowl.
- Yes, the second Super Bowl. - Congrats.
Five...
Welcome to the Queen City!
Whoo!
Four...
What you got in store for us, Lake Norman?
Three...
This is cute-ah.
Two...
Are we sharing a bathroom?
- ...one! - Happy birthday!
- I'm 40! - Yes!
- We're in a better place. - Mia, I will be back tomorrow.
Yes, doll.
Tomorrow morning is Angel and Adore's
cap and gown ceremony at their school. - Oh, yeah.
- Safe travels. - Thanks.
TJ and aren't intimate. He's a devout Christian.
I have not been intimate with anyone in a year.
- Oh, you-- oh, wow. - Huh?
You, of all people,
asking me about a Goddamn scar.
Why-why am I--
Don't ask me sh-- about my scar!
Driving with a suspended registration, illegal,
and then driving while impaired by alcohol.
This is what you're defending.
Is that what you stand for?
Jacqueline and Mia are saying
that we need to take you to rehab.
Should I be worried about you?
Thank you for asking me, and no.
Rehab is not something that you think you need at all?
No. No, and if I did, I would tell you all
because-- - And you never told them
that you wanted to go-- - And Karen is-- - Never.
Let me tell you somethin', Karen is very open and honest
about who she is... - I'm not ashamed of anything.
...and what she has going on.
That doesn't really bother me
because I am an advocate for people who,
if we get sick, let's get help, okay.
Mia has been through rehab herself.
- Oh, really? - Has she? - Oh.
Mia started The Joint practice
because she had an opioid addiction.
- What? - Baby, Goddamn it, Karen!
- What? No-- - Are you kidding me?
I'm not gonna sit here and act like
that should unravel me when I know my truth.
I care what the final black and white is.
What?
I just can't believe this.
I love Karen,
but it's just too much, at this point.
Now, we're just throwin' out anything.
Mia's a lot of things,
but we're just-- we're not gonna do that.
My court date, in two weeks,
I know it's hard for you, as my friends, to wait.
It hurt me to hear that about you.
Well-well, you-you-- look who you are talking to.
Don't you think that that's, like--
that's beyond but-- - You're talking to a woman
who is sleeping with her boyfriend
while her husband is in the house with her.
Are you kidding me? No, I'm good.
Mia doesn't wanna protect anyone.
Mia wants to elevate herself.
She'll step on Jesus to stand up.
I take this personally.
Payback is a mother----er.
- I love you. Yeah, I'm good. - Are you good? I love you.
All right, baby.
I feel for my girls dealin' with all this drama,
but I am in a birthday bubble.
Like, I ain't got time for this.
I'm-I'm a whole new decade. Like, no.
Hi, mama.
What is that? Was it yummy?
- Bobas. My favorite. - Bobas are your favorite?
- We're just gonna-- It's hot. - It's hot?
We'll probably go to the park, maybe--
- Mama, bye-bye! - Well, Dyllie,
I wanted to see your face.
I'm slowly getting used to being a single mom,
and I'm going out with my friends,
and I'm traveling,
establishing healthy routines for my sons.
Dylan, guys, come on.
Dean, look up here!
- Dylan! - Hi, stinky mom.
They like me, still.
So, you know, they don't call me poopyhead anymore.
All right, well, I'll be home tomorrow
around, I think, 3:00. - Bye-bye, mama.
They're at that age. Yay...
Love you. Bye.
Are y'all comin' outside, or what?
- Oh, my gosh. - Take us for a ride!
We can take it!
- Oh, this feels good. - It's not that bad. - Doesn't it?
Oh, my gosh.
So, we're supposed to be getting adjustments.
I haven't had an adjustment in a long time.
I actually used to support Mia's business.
- Oh, did you? - I had a Joint membership.
Ooh!
That reminds me of when I first met Ray.
Oh!
- Wow. - I-I'm real.
This is why I came to Lake Norman.
Hey!
- Is it cold? - A double dose of gold.
Yeah. No, it feels so good.
- It's nice. - You gonna get in?
I don't mind getting a little wet.
That body in the gold is everything.
- Slither on in. - Oh, baby!
Oh, yes!
- How did that happen? - Give me your sunglasses.
- Are you okay? - Give me your-- you okay?
Okay.
There she-- Oh!
Only thing I could hear was, "dun-dun-dun-dun."
The "Jaws" theme song, okay?
Rule number one of a thriller--
you don't go in to save them,
or your ass will get ate up, too.
How does she look even better wet?
I know.
- You like this? - Between your body,
and this one here, my roommate,
her lingerie game is on another level.
- Is it? - Her FaceTime calls--
I'm not tryin' to tell your business.
You practically FaceTimed all night,
you know. - Oh, really?
I did not FaceTime him all night, roomie.
I love you. I miss you.
I know you ain't gonna say it, but I did.
Okay. Bye-bye!
I miss you, too. And I love you, too.
The feelings that I have for TJ,
I miss him when I don't talk to him.
We pray together.
We talk about our future plans together.
I want to introduce him to Arabella one day.
That's some real feelings, right there.
What you doin', birthday girl?
Wendy, birthday girl!
Come on over here, birthday girl.
- Hey, how are you? - Birthday girl!
Come here, birthday girl.
And you will be divorced when?
You don't know. - I really don't have an answer
for that because we have not agreed
on all the things we need to agree on.
Well, Ashley can tell you about that.
- Ashley. - No, June 11th, baby.
I'm going to mediation.
- Oh, you have your date. - It's gonna be done.
I will have an agreement,
so I can actually file for a divorce.
I mean, I haven't really had a sit-down with him
in over a year.
It's nerve-wracking, but I'm excited
to finally take this step to end my marriage.
So, then it could be up to three months
until I'm actually divorced, but yeah.
- Okay, gotcha. - Okay.
I wanted to ask.
Ashley, like, you've got two beautiful boys.
Are they meeting your dates, or...?
- Absolutely not. - Uh-uh.
Are you going to do that after you get a divorce?
- Wait, you-- - Yeah.
Are you gonna always run them by Michael?
Similarly, if he's ever gonna have a woman around,
we have an agreement that I meet her first.
- Okay. - Wow.
Okay, that's- that sh-- is cool.
I didn't even think about that.
Yeah, that's a lot of pressure.
I'll just give you what I did.
I wanted to make sure that I was engaged first.
I think Karen's a little bit old school
with it all the way to the fiance.
Oh, I knew she was gonna say that.
I know. Go ahead. What you think?
That's-that's-that's a little bit old school
because I'm in a relationship with someone who has children.
He gets the chance to see me with his children
and see me be a potential, you know, positive figure.
When it comes to Greg, and the kids,
and their comfort, and their happiness,
I'm always gonna be supportive
whether it's cooking, movie night, date night.
I am the rich auntie in real life, in the house.
So, your husband doesn't know about TJ?
Of course, he does,
but he doesn't know TJ's feelings for me,
and he-- - So, who does he think TJ is?
Oh, uh, he, uh, a friend, I guess.
I do agree with what Karen said.
I am in a situation
where my significant other does have children.
- Mm-hmm. - Okay.
And it can be very tricky, even if you're very serious
within relationships.
I would say, once you knew
that engagement was around the corner.
So, I like the oval. - Okay.
Is that big enough for the mens to stay off me?
They're gonna stay off you anyways.
It would be a more clever time.
Okay.
Jassi has this big public relationship
with an NFL player.
While she talks about his children,
we really haven't talked about the nuts and bolts.
He has kids? - Yeah, he has two kids,
and they were both here before me.
He didn't have any kids when we first met.
The person was already pregnant.
Both babies were already baking.
- Right. - Or already there
before he and I ever even had sex.
I sense that there's more than meets the eye.
Whatever leads to your ultimate happiness,
I say go for it,
with your children being the priority.
Always your children number one.
Yeah.
All right. Let me get the door.
I'm just really proud of my leg muscles.
Do you guys see this? I like it.
Y'all wait until I get my little work done.
Oh, we ain't gonna be able to tell you sh--.
You ain't gonna be able to tell me a thing.
- I know that's right. - Okay!
Special delivery!
Aww!
- This came for you. - Oh, did this come for me?
Aww, happy birthday, girl.
Aww, it's from Eddie, Karter, Kruz, and the dog, Zoe.
I love that.
Wendy, are we gonna see that body in this pool, baby?
Come on, baby. - Show Stacey.
Show Stacey one more dance. - Show me how to--
Show me how to model. - Let's see it, baby.
Stiff where?
Get it, Wendy. Get it, Wendy.
I don't know how to twerk.
Oh, you gotta unzip yourself, Stacey.
Go, Stacey. All right. We're gonna teach you.
Oh, there you go.
Stacey, we gonna work on that swag.
- Oh, Lord. - What?
I don't drop it like it's hot,
shake that thang.
I just move, you know,
in the way that the music tells me.
I can get down.
They're saying that I'm stiff, and I'm boring.
But, honestly, after dancing,
I know I've changed their minds, for sure.
- Oh, God. - Don't do that thing.
That's a bad move. - Don't do that.
Don't do that. - Like, don't do that.
And that- that's the shimmy.
Oh, whose-- get your ass off of me!
I'm not over your ass
'cause I'm gonna be on your ass in a minute.
You know, Mia has a history of...
clappin' ass for forgiveness.
But you can twerk on me all you want to.
I heard what you said.
You wanna talk about your drug dealer boyfriend,
maybe? - Who? What drug dealer?
- Give me hugs. - you, Mia.
I should sit down. I should probably sit.
you, too, bitch.
Okay, let's go get dressed. Let's go get dressed!
Coming up...
- Go, Mia! - all: Oh, oh, oh!
Oh, sh--!
And, ladies, that's how you keep two men.
- Okay. I'm good. - Oh, we had it all wrong.
♪ Yeah
Thank you. Have a good day.
She's back!
I left for less than 24 hours.
Seeing my girls get awards and just knowing that,
they're about to go off to college,
it's a proud moment.
It's a bittersweet moment.
They're leaving me,
but I know they're gonna be successful.
- Welcome back, Gizelle. - Hi. Thank you.
- You missed a lot of fun. - Was-was it fun?
The way that you're sounding,
it doesn't sound like fun.
I mean, it was fun, if you weren't in it.
Oh, yes, good.
Okay, give me the tea.
Baby, we got people that are basing their business
off of ex-drug dealing money.
- What? - It's-it's been a lot.
Who has business funded by drug dealers?
K.
Ashley was asking about K's scar
and if she actually had a scar,
or something like that.
It's obviously on her forehead.
Well, I asked Ashley, did she wear glasses,
and did say she didn't.
What did you do, Jassi?
I listened.
I listened, and I was like, okay.
Okay, was this last night,
or this morning? Do we need a nap?
That was this morning at break-- that was the breakfast
confused on some-- - Okay, is everybody mad,
right now? - I wouldn't call them mad...
- Who should I check on? - ...but would I call them happy, no.
- Whew. - But breakfast was great.
They served us fried chicken. - Oh, I love that.
Oh, hey. - Hello. How is it going?
- Girl... - Yeah.
I heard there was somethin'-somethin'.
Yes.
Let's get into the tea, okay?
It's-it's been a lot going on.
It's been piping hot around here.
Okay. So, Jassi said you said to K,
"Is that scar really a scar on your head?"
Okay, whoa, whoa. Okay, let's back up.
What did she say? She started crying?
Oh, yeah. "Don't ask me about my scar."
- Oh, my God, okay. - Hi, beautiful ladies.
Gizelle, I'm so glad you're back, honey.
These ladies don't know how to act when you're gone.
I thought y'all were supposed to have a pajama party.
Girl, we haven't forgotten it.
Well, we did bring in Wendy's 40th.
- It was cute. - Yeah.
- It was cool. - Hi.
- Hey. - Welcome back!
Clearly, all hell broke loose.
Everybody should be exhausted
from the shade and the screaming of it all.
Like, let's just have a nice day.
Can we do that?
- It's the birthday girl! - Hi.
- Oh, yes. Oh, yes. Oh, yes. - Hello.
- It's shot o'clock. - Yes.
- Okay. - For the birthday bitch.
Okay. Okay.
For the birthday bitch!
Okay.
Not too much.
- You're in bootcamp, honey. - I got vodka.
Wait, wait, wait a minute.
all: Go, Stacey! Go, Stacey! Go, Stacey!
- Do I have to swallow it? - Yes.
Go, Stacey! Go, Stacey!
Who's doing Mia?
- Go, Mia! - Oh, oh, oh!
Oh, sh--!
And, ladies, that's how you keep two men.
- Oh! We had it all wrong. - Okay, I'm good.
Mia, you just solidified what we all been thinking.
Inc, Gordon, I get it.
I get it. I get why you have stayed.
Wow, that's a special skill
that most women don't have.
Loosen up a bit. It's a girls trip.
That's how you loosen up.
M'kay. On our way to lunch,
I'm gonna take you guys to The Joint,
to a location that I built, but I have now sold.
Okay.
This city has shaped me in so many ways.
Inc and I actually moved to Charlotte together.
I started my entrepreneur journey.
You know, that strip club showed me a few things.
So, yesterday, I walked out on, uh, Stacey,
on the balcony,
twirling her hair. - Talking to, um--
do-do we know this TJ person?
What do you mean, do you know him?
You can Google him. - I'm-I'm about to.
- He's a walk-on actor. - Oh, he's an actor?
I thought you said-- - Yeah, Thomas Anthony Jones.
Okay, I'm lookin'. Thomas--
She is really Googling him. Oh, my--
Oh, that's the back of his head.
- That's him. - That's, yeah,
that's gotta be him. - That's him.
- What's he been on? - A whole bunch of things.
ER... - Okay, is this his eye?
NCIS...
Hey, I'm working today.
I'm on Grey's Anatomy, so that's where I am.
Like, he does extra work?
- No, no, babe. Not extra. - Oh.
So, when are you gonna see him, if he's in L.A.?
Uh, I think he's comin' in this week.
- Okay, nice. - Oh.
He tries to come in every other week
to make sure I'm okay.
So, are you having sex?
- We haven't. - Damn.
Okay, but who said they didn't want to have sex
until they got-- - We don't want to have sex
until we're married.
Stop.
Maybe I should try to not have sex
for three months.
Okay?
Have you felt around?
You need to know what you're workin' with.
He's a beautiful man. I know what I'm workin' with.
- Uh... - Yeah.
- I know. - It could be a-a thumb.
What could be a thumb?
- You can't-- - Stacey.
You know exactly what we're talking about.
Listen, I'm not gonna lie.
It was him who made the decision.
He's a-- he's a devout Christian.
He is really a man of his faith.
So, can you-- can you feel- feel around
before you get married?
I-I would like to, but he... he is--
Can y'all do oral before you get married?
No, I don't know that he's willing.
It is difficult.
However, you can direct your attention to other things.
There's working out, going to the zoo.
So, Gizelle can laugh as much as she wants to, alone.
How old is he?
- He's in his 40s. - 41.
He has been waiting for his wife all this time.
- I can't. - I don't know.
Why are you laughing?
And me and Gizelle are laughing at you, Stacey.
You are so cynical.
I just want you to test drive the car
before you buy it. That's all.
You have to hold onto the steering wheel,
rub it a little bit. Mm-hmm.
If there's a stick shift,
you definitely wanna move it up and down,
and you wanna be able to sit comfortably.
Stacey, you don't know what you're getting.
It's a no.
Oh, my gosh.
I'm just getting to know Stacey,
and I don't wanna doubt her.
But it's odd. That's a little bit odd.
And-and he said it with a straight face?
He's been waiting for me, Gizelle.
Coming up...
You don't own sh--.
We don't even know if you own that sh-- we just left.
I bought it, and I sold it.
I don't give a sh-- what Mia is talking about.
We don't even know if Mia is ever telling the truth.
We're here.
Why are we going?
Just to show you guys, like, where I started.
Ooh.
I'm here!
Hi, I don't know you.
I'm Dr. Chad. It's really good to meet you.
Nice to see you, Dr. Chad.
All right. So, welcome to The Joint.
- Yes. - Nice.
We are actually selling the businesses
because the partners can't get along,
which has a lot to do with Gordon.
- Mm-hmm. - Cheers to we----ing did it.
Yeah.
If it wasn't for Gordon's mental condition,
I probably would still be building with him.
But going through a divorce, it's best to sell
and reinvest into another concept
that I have full control over,
which is what I'm terrified of, starting anything new,
but I'm figuring it out.
- Are you Dr. Mc-- - No, this is not Dr. Migdadi.
This is Dr. Chad. - I'm Dr. Chad.
Dr. Chad, nice to meet you.
Nice to meet you.
- Karen-- very nice to meet you. - Is Dr. Migdadi here?
He's not here?
He had to go up to Virginia.
- Okay. - Okay, got it.
Uh, Dr. Migdadi is actually a doctor
that first worked for me.
Dr. Mc who?
So, you've sold this one now, you said?
Yeah, I no longer own this location.
- Okay. - But this is one
of my original babies.
I still have 22 other locations
that I'm going to be selling soon
for concrete. - How many, Mia?
Twenty-two.
- You had 22 of these? - Mm-hmm.
- Wow, that's amazing. - Yeah.
I'm so inspired by your entrepreneur journeys, Mia.
You know, there's still some franchises available
in some markets. - You know,
I am a businesswoman myself, if the numbers make sense.
Yes, it does.
Definitely, definitely.
And what's your, like, what's your busy time?
On the weekends?
It depends on the market.
- Oh, okay. - Yeah, mm-hmm, yep.
- Wow. - Yeah.
I don't know what Mia brought us to The Joint to prove,
but it still has not been proven.
I'm not sure what's happening here.
This is not birthday worthy.
Like, is she gonna have
some of her stripper friends come out?
Mia said, I'm gonna take your ass, Dr. Wendy,
to a place that talks about me
on your birthday?
- Ooh. - Yes.
Anybody hungry? Y'all wanna grab some lunch?
Yes!
Come on, ladies.
Hi.
So, there's a lot of us, nine.
- Nine? - Yeah.
- Step right on up. - Wonderful.
Are you doing cockies or no?
- Yeah, I am. - Cockies? Cocktails?
- It's up to the birthday girl. - Are we gonna have the--
should we do shots first?
- Yeah. - A lemon drop.
Let's do a round of lemon drop shots.
- Yeah, there we go. - Oh, lemon drop.
Let's be a little bit more user friendly.
No shot for me, but coffee.
I'm very proud of Karen for sticking
to her newfound lifestyle of sobriety.
I will say I have seen this show before.
- Is that milk? - It is milk,
to coat my tummy because I have had an ulcer,
and it was painful today.
So, I'm hoping that she sticks to it.
We wanna get two of the caviar service
for the table. Yes, and--
- And the presidential tower. - Okay.
- Well, what the hell is that? - Oh, okay, okay.
All right, ladies. I'll get this going.
I'll be back in a sec.
We're getting quite a bit of food.
So, when I came in, Jassi downloaded me on the tea.
First, I wanna check on Keiarna. Are you okay?
I didn't like hearing that you were crying
and all the things. - Yeah, I was very upset.
I was very upset. - Yeah, she was.
You-- and you wanna apologize? Somethin'--
I said, "I'm sorry," earlier today.
Oh, you did? Oh, okay. Okay, great.
- She did, she did. - And I-I meant it.
She apologized. It was actually just
piggybacking off of Mia, in my opinion.
I was totally offended, though, when you, of all people,
dragging drug dealer.
Why is it me, of all people?
Because you have a very colorful past
and a colorful-- - A colorful past
not in the drug industry. - Yes, you-you have a--
okay, well, I mean, strippers, drug dealers,
I mean, I think they're kinda very close.
No, it's not the same thing, baby.
It's legal, illegal. - I never sold drugs,
but it was obviously pressing for you to bring it up.
It was clearly press-- - Well, when you're
a drug dealer, honey, it's kind of illegal.
Being a stripper is not. - I was not drug dealing.
Okay, so, selling ass is fine.
Not selling ass is fine.
That's a prostitute.
I called you on your sh--, and you didn't deny it.
So, you know it's a fact.
- So, we're gonna move on. - Okay, okay, okay.
Well, what's my current man doing?
- Oh, Jesus. - Look at that security.
While you're posted on the corner, mind that business.
- "Post on the corner." - Thank you.
You can put that caviar right here.
- Ahh, thank you. - Thank God for the food.
- Thank you. - That's perfect timing.
Okay, so, we're gonna move on.
So, I have an event. My man is being honored.
Every year, the Super Bowl winning team gets to go
to the White House. - Love that.
- I'm putting together a party. - Oh, that's nice.
- Fun. - And I've made a huge point
to invite all of the single men--
all of the single men. - Oh, yes.
Jassi, Jassi!
So, you know, I'm gonna get y'all right, don't worry.
The more, the merrier.
Yes.
'Cause I'm, like, in my whole workout mode now.
I've literally lost, like, 15 pounds
from last year. - Congratulations.
That's bomb. - Really?
She goes to the gym, and I just go get lipo.
It just makes me feel strong
and, like, don't with me.
You know what I'm saying? Like--
Is that what you're saying to Karen?
Coming up...
All right, we're playing , marry, kill.
Dr. Wendy, who would you ?
I will Gizelle.
I will kill your ass, Jacqueline.
I've literally lost, like, 15 pounds
from last year. - Congratulations.
That's bomb. - Really?
She goes to the gym, and I just go get lipo.
It just makes me feel strong
and, like, don't with me.
You know what I'm saying? Like--
Is that what you're saying to Karen?
- You knew it was comin'. - I heard there was a lot.
Uh, I'm so busy, uh, dodging darts.
I'm like this, ping, ping, ping.
She's seriously like Wonder Woman with the bracelets.
- Jacqueline told me that. - Remember the old Wonder Woman?
- That's a bit extra. - No.
I just feel like there's a lot of ass kissing around here.
Let's go.
Let's go, guys.
Whoo, what a lunch.
You girls are quite the-- quite the group.
It's a tough crowd. - I know.
I thought we were going out to dinner tonight,
like, in town. - Yeah, we are, in the city.
We are going to go to Charlotte's finest rooftop,
Fahrenheit,
and I have told the girls to dress
in their fiery red.
I wanna see sexy, sexy, sexy.
Leave the mumus at home, Gizelle.
Okay, got it.
Wendy, hair and makeup, okay?
Love.
Oh, my knees.
I love this.
Thank you, honey. Yes, I'm prepared.
Yes, that's gorgeous.
Is it me, or is it hot?
Yeah, the AC is off.
Like, why are we doing that? Why is it 75?
- Hey, sweetheart. - Aww, hey, baby.
Hi, mommy.
Kam-Kam-- Zoe is there. Zoe!
Zoe has a special message for you.
Wishing you happy birthday. - Zoe, say-say happy birthday.
Okay, Zoe has nothing to say.
She tried.
Um, I just wanted to call and check in.
We're about to go to dinner.
I-I love you guys.
Love you, too, sweetie.
They celebrate my birthday harder than I do.
I wanted to check on you,
to see how you're doin',
to see how the boys are.
, you know.
Say it, again.
Okay, baby, I can really hardly hear you.
Just like last year, Darius doesn't have a contract.
He doesn't know what team he is gonna play for yet.
You know, it's like them being fired.
I really wanna be available for him to talk, if needed.
- You, too. - What?
But the signal is just so horrible.
Okay, the calls are not going through, baby.
I gotta go. Bye.
See you. - Bye. I love you.
Love you, too, baby.
Isn't it so pretty?
How are ya? - Oh, gosh, I'm good.
Um, there's been a lot going on.
- I know. - These ladies are crazy.
The K and Mia thing did kinda catch me off guard.
I mean, they're just going at it.
I know.
Do you want me to tell you my good news first, real quick?
Yes.
So, you know, I was working on "Healing and Thriving."

I remember.
- It needed a little tweaking. - Yes.
So, we added an EDM beat to it.
- No way. - I did.
- Okay, let me hear. - And I really like it.
Okay.
Over these last couple of months, I'm, like,
re-finding myself.
Leaving my ex-husband and living on my own,
you know, being a single mom and everything,
so I really leaned in to what brings me
joy and happiness,
and that is singing and writing music.

That's the truth, girl.
I had initially recorded one version
of "Healing and Thriving,"
but I wanted to make it more of a bop.
I thought EDM was like...
boom, boom.

Maybe it should be like healing, thriving, twerking.

Like, we could get down to that.
Are you gonna dance?
- Uh, yes. - Yes.
Stacey says she's a better dancer than you, though.
I'm gonna let Stacey have that, okay?
All you can do, is move your shoulders, okay?
The shoulders are strong.
I'll be ready soon, Mia!
Hopefully, my outfit looks all right.
All right, ladies, eight minutes.
Oh, gosh.
Mmm, somebody stinks.
It's like stank pussy or somethin'.
- Is it me? - I hope not.
Smell it.
No.
Who do you smell?
I don't know what that was, girl. Unh.
Yeah, um, girl code.
You know, I gotta make sure my girl isn't, you know,
smelling like fish up in here.
People are real freaky nowadays.
You look like you're just ready to go out on the town.
I'm looking like a hooker about to breastfeed.
No, you don't.
Wen-day is four-tay.
Oh, yes.
That's how you come for your birthday.
- Oh, my gosh. - You look amazing.
What happened to the red?
- Yeah. - All right.
All right, guys. You ready to go?
Let's head on out.
It might be cold, I think.
- Oh, well, ho, ho, ho. - And the birthday girl.
Well, ho, ho, ho would know.
Oh, my gosh.
Oh, Lord.
We should play a game.
All right, we're playing , marry, kill.
First, I would kill Karen because
she already over there asleep.
- Where is Karen? - Karen is right here.
Marry...
it would have to be Dr. Wendy.
And I would , obviously, Mia.
Of course, she will.
Next.
Okay, if I have to , marry, kill...
Don't kill me, again.
I would Stacey, actually.
- Oh! - Oh, that would be--
I am honored, Ashley.
- Wow. - She hasn't done it in a while,
so she might be, like, ready.
I am so honored.
She's totally----able.
I like being in the presence of bad bitches.
She's a stunning girl, but we just--
we gotta grease up her joints, you know.
Put a little WD-40 on them things.
The F-word, it's just so harsh.
Shouldn't we say, "Make love?"
Stacey is just laying there, stiff.
Oh.
- I would marry Gizelle. - Oh, shocking.
I would kill Wendy and bring her back to life.
Hey, I would resuscitate you immediately.
I'd give you mouth to mouth. - you.
So, Wendy, who would you ?
I will Gizelle.
We've been at odds for so long,
and there's nothing better than make up sex.
I would marry K.
- Ooh, hello. - I would kill...
Jacqueline.
You're gonna what? Really?
And not bring her back to life.
Why me? That is so messed up.
- Oh, my God. - Karen's turn, Karen.
- Karen? Karen? - Karen!
Karen, jump in here. - All right, all right.
I would the sh-- out of Mia.
What?
I would marry...
Jassi and K.
Aww.
Jassi, we are getting the rings tonight!
I will kill your ass, Jacqueline,
in a hurry.
She said, "In a hurry."
Jacqueline has betrayed me the most out of this group.
So, yes, I would kill her.
I wouldn't with me, bitch.
Stacey? Look at Stacey's face.
- Do I have to play? - Where is Stacey?
- You have to. - Okay.
If I had to marry someone, it would be Ashley.
If I had to F someone...
It would be Mia because I would never be bored.
- Period. - Oh, that's a good one.
I am so not an undercover freak.
Okay, maybe I am. Ugh!
I can't believe I said that.
And if I had to kill a bitch,
it's gonna be you.
Oh, wow.
So, I would definitely Ashley.
Because I've already----ed Mia.
Oh!
Is that tea?
Mia and Jacqueline have already acknowledged
that Mia once went spelunking
in Jacqueline's cage.
You got a flashlight,
and you explored Jacqueline's vagina.
She was like, "Can you just look in there
and see what's going on in there?"
- Okay. - Was you guys in the dark?
- No, it was light. - Why the flashlight?
I don't know. It was, like, theatrical.
That's all you, girl.
- Are you guys shocked? - Um, what?
Oh, gosh, she talks too much.
What happens at the lake, stays at the lake, okay?
I will the sh-- out of all y'all bitches.
Mia can talk about a million men she slept with.
Jacqueline doesn't care.
But let her talk about a woman.
Listen, you ain't poppin', if you ain't got no haters.
Jacqueline is like a scorned lover, like,
"That ain't true. You wanna be with me."
I am never jealous of whatever Mia does
with other girls because, at the end of the day,
I'm the queen bee up in here,
and they better acknowledge me,
in my presence.
Thirsty.
I ain't killing nobody 'cause I'm a lover,
'cause I'm Mia Amore, baby.
Coming up...
Darius is a great father.
How old are the children?
The children are three and turned one a month ago.
Mm-hmm.
So, that's kinda close to when you guys
got together, right?
- Welcome to my city. - Cute.
- Isn't this fun? - This is beautiful.
- Isn't this great? - Yeah.
K, you're all the way down there.
I know. I feel so far.
Can you hear me? - You're so far.
What are you ordering?
So, do you have an espresso martini?
- Of course. - Can I have that, please?
- Scallops. - Okay.
I'll have the dynamite shrimp and the Greek salad.
Wendy, what a birthday.
- What a birthday. - Right? I'm happy for you.
I'm going to remember this forever.
- Yes, this a good one. - Yeah.
I really wanted this to be great for you.
I usually just celebrate my birthday with Eddie.
And in adulthood, I have not done a celebration
where I invited outside people.
But what I've realized is, I never felt like
people would celebrate me.
- Aww, come on, now. - Why?
It's so funny 'cause y'all met me at 35,
and when y'all met me, I had just had a baby,
and I was so unsure of myself.
- Mm-hmm. - Sure.
And you guys have seen me go through having three kids,
seen me going through getting my body back.
Yeah.
- This is Wendy. - Very nice to meet you.
The new baby has added,
like, an extra layer. - I know.
That sh-- you see in the movies, no.
Snakeskin, body roll situation.
- Yes. - Come on, mama.
Come on, now. - Okay.
Seeing me go through trying different business ventures.
Mm-hmm.
I wanna be the Black Martha Stewart.
Do we have a business plan?
I have written a paragraph.
- A paragraph? - That's not enough?
No.
At 40, I have realized that I'm enough.
- Hey. - Yeah.
- That's deep, Wendy. - And I don't need nothing else.
- Wow, wow, wow. - Absolutely.
- Beautiful. - I'm enough.
You're family.
You inspire me so much to be a more involved person.
Mmm.
I really appreciate that about you.
Oh, thank you.
Okay, birthday girl, it's my turn.
- Okay, your turn. - I love where we are.
It's been stale for some time.
- Yes. - Ooh.
And it is now rich, and I'm here for all of it.
So, Wendy, I know we have had a very interesting past,
as well. - Very interesting.
- Highs and lows. - Yes.
Vaginas.
Vagina touching and all that.
All right, but that was the high.
- She showed you her vagina? - It was like...
No.
Oh, we all showed each other our vaginas.
It was tequila.
But I think that--
No, vaginas were not touched.
Okay.
My dance partner...
There's not a lot of women that I admire.
- Mmm. - And I admire you.
- Aww. - I think you're brilliant,
creative, altruistic, inspiring.
And, um, I had expectations when I met not only the group,
but you, as well,
and you did supersede those expectations, Wendy.
- Thank you. - Very nice.
You are a wonderment in how you take on
so many challenges in your life, and you succeed.
I love that about you. You've been there for me.
I just wish that God continues to shine His light on you,
and you keep doing what you're doing,
and, you know, you have always been the glue
for everything that I've been through.
For that, I love you.
So, I know, initially, when I met Wendy,
it was very rocky, 'cause she was basically
looking at me like, who are you?
Who is this?
I'm Jacqueline. I'm her best friend.
- You're Jacqueline? - Yes.
Okay, I didn't know who was talking.
There's definitely more of a warmth in you
as opposed to, bitch, why are you here?
Hello.
And as you can see, I am here to stay.
- Oh, God. - It's not just a fly by night.
Now, it's turning into her. Thank you so much, Jacqueline.
Loved it. - Good job.
Ladies, we have some champagne.
Yeah, go ahead. Bring that right there.
I will bring it for everyone.
Bring that right there.
Is she having champagne?
- Yeah. - Okay, then I will.
If she has it, I'll have it.
If she's not having it, I'm not having it.
- Okay. - Cheers.
Cheers.
And cheers to Stacey opening up
and giving her man's government name.
- Yes. - Yes, yes.
We got to learn a lot about Stacey.
Kudos to you.
I feel like there's been a lot of focus on me,
and we haven't talked about Jassi's man.
- Oh, come on. - Is this your future husband?
Who is he?
- Bitch, you done loosened up. - Absolutely.
Stacey definitely became a little less stiff
on this trip, especially when she was asking me
about my charges three and four times.
She was loose as a mother----er.
She's like, "Hello."
You see what happens when you give children liquor?
Anyway, um, so, I'm-I'm thankful
that you did ask, um, about Darius.
He's been the best thing that has ever happened to me.
He is someone that I'm going to marry.
- Yes. - Love that.
And, uh, we've had some bumps in the road,
and we've gotten through those bumps.
He's a great father to two boys
that were both either there
or already, um, created before me.
How old are the children?
The children are three and turned one a month ago.
- Mm-hmm. - Okay.
Jacqueline, if you have questions,
I'm more than happy to answer.
She's told me this story, like, eight times,
eight different ways.
I'm enjoying his little bachelor pad,
and I look up, and I'm like, there's a kid on the wall.
That was the first kid. - Whew, girl.
And then by the time we got serious,
she was pregnant with the second one, Mia.
So, that's kinda close to when you guys
got together, right?
You guys have only been together what?
A couple of years. When he and I were dating,
She was about maybe two or three months pregnant.
Okay.
She-she was already pregnant before we even had sex.
- Did he know? - He did not know.
- Okay. - That was the---
the delay in me knowing.
Been together two years.
The baby is one year old, the first baby.
Gestation for a baby is nine months.
So, if they had been dating for three months
prior to him conceiving the second baby,
another six months, she finds out about the baby.
Two plus two is not equaling four.
I've seen this. I've been through this.
I dated someone who was in the league, NFL,
that was very familiar to Jassi's situation.
He had two women pregnant at the same time.
They happened to be twins.
I dreamt about it. I seen the women.
- Twins? - It was--
- Wait, two sets of twins? - It was--
it was two people pregnant at the same time.
That's all I'm going to say.
For me, I couldn't do that. I couldn't get past it.
Can you tell me what team he played for?
Leave me alone, Mia.
So... - No, tell me,
'cause this sounds really----ing familiar.
What team did he play for? - Oh.
No, I say that because the same thing happened to me.
So, I'm just trying to make sure
it's not the same guy.
I dated someone who was in the league.
He had two women pregnant at the same time.
The same thing happened to me.
What team did he play for?
So, I'm just trying to make sure it's not the same guy.
The Ravens? - Mia...
- No, he played for Jesus,
at this point.
Bottom line is, date any form of a successful man,
you should be prepared. - Even if he's not successful.
We support Jassi
in that this is not a conventional relationship,
but I think, in this group,
we are learning that it's not a one size fits all
for everybody. - No, it's not.
- As long as you're happy. - Life is short.
Go for it. - Yes.
Jassi, he was just cheating on you, girl.
It's okay. It's fine. He's got two kids from it.
Girl, and you still wanna be with him.
Just say that.
I would like to make a toast to Ashley Darby.
- Oh, yes. - Oh.
- Oh, boy. - Ashley,
you and you alone have allowed me to feel comfortable
opening up in this group.
Whoa!
And how you're handling your life, your divorce,
and your family, you're giving me the courage
to be a little bit more open about talking about mine.
- I like that. I like that. - Cheers, Stacey. That's big.
That's very big. - That's beautiful.
That's real. - Cheers.
When I think about my divorce,
and I think about being a single mother
and all that that entails,
I would be crazy not to ask these women,
who have had so many different life experiences,
how they've made it.
I love the cotton candy on the tree.
This was fun, Mia.
Yes, we are going to head back to the house.
- Finally, it's happening to me. - And we are going to do
our jammies, slumber jammy jam.
Oh, I'm going to bed.
And y'all need to take a shower
'cause y'all have been dirty all week.
- Um... - What in the world?
What kind of bullsh-- is that?
Girl, come on. Let's go.
And on that note, it's been real.
- Not only am I 40-- - Okay.
I got four degrees, too. Ha-ha!
Wendy, let's exit the building.
Okay, it's time to go. Okay, I'm sorry.
- It's time to go. - I've got the cotton candy.
What? What did I do?
Yeah, let's do this.
I think we get in our pajamas
and then we'll meet down here.
Yes.
This was the best birthday ever!
What time did you guys go to bed?
I think I went to bed at, like, 3.
Ooh.
Wendy, what are you doing?
This is the first day of Wendy in her 40s.
How is life? - Rough.
I feel like I've been hit by a Mack truck.
Typically, when I overdo it, I just keep on going.
You're stopping. It's a rut.
Champagne for Wendy. - No.
No?
My head is pounding.
I want Stacey to leave me alone, and she's so chipper.
Wait, where is Ashley? Hey, you okay?
I will be.
I'm just hurtin'.
Ashley looks like she was, like,
in the washing machine all night.
Is that how you're packing?
Yeah. Did-did you already pack your stuff?
I didn't pack it like that.
I've done morning TV for many years,
so I'm used to being up early, and I'm feeling great.
Good morning, Jacqueline. - Good morning.
Jassi babe, what's going on?
I'm just packing for the road.
But I know she was crying her heart out.
Jassi, I'm sorry.
The timeline-- what's the timeline?
But they're buying a house together.
So? I was a sidepiece.
This is giving me goosebumps. Okay, I'm walking away.
I'm walking.
- Wendy, it's been real. - I hope you had a great birthday.
I had a ball.
We'll see y'all back in-in the P.
- Okay. - Can you see us?
- I can see you. - All right, bye.
Even though Mia sucked as a hostess,
this trip helped me to have something to do
other than think about my court case.
Time to go home.
Of course, I'm fearful, but I have faith
that my truth will come out.
You know what?
I'm over this.
This is why I'm never drinking again.
Um, is it crazy to take a fork?
Bye, baby.
All right.
Thank you so much. - Safe travels.
I appreciate you.
Bye, Lake Norman!
Yeah!
Next time, on "The Real Housewives of Potomac"...
Is that TJ?
That man is not sexually active.
We know that you have a big week next week.
- Yes. - How are you feeling?
I am scared.
This is real.
I see a person who had adultery with my wife.
it. I ain't okay with it.
She got pregnant and had an abortion because of you,
but you think Jeremiah is your kid.
- But you-you-- - Yeah, I told you that.
- Bullsh--, bullsh--. - Stop, stop.
