- Previously, on "The Real Housewives of Potomac"...
I wanna do a Nigerian Lounge.
And what'd you say? "I will do it with you."
- Oh, exactly. Yeah.
If you buy into 20%, that's 300,000.
- Oh, my God!
I am firmly cementing my journey to motherhood
through this egg retrieval process.
[sighs]
Dr. Sarhan called me. - Mm-hmm.
- I'm not responding to the meds as quickly as we were hoping.
- Ashley had us sex dancing.
- Eight and bounce.
- Yes. Yes, come on.
- Oh, ow. [laughing]
- You can't get up there?
- Um, so...
You're gonna put out your divorce statement, when?
- Charrisse, what? - Soon.
- Like, in the next day or two or next week?
- This loan that I am preapproved for
via a connection that I have at the bank with Michael,
it's better that we don't tell about
our separation yet.
- I do.
- If Karen is still harping over old rumors
that Charrisse brought up, thought we were way past.
- People say you have a boyfriend.
Do I talk about that,
blue eyes or whatever his name is?
- You called her a liar.
I never have called her a liar.
Stand in your truth. - I'm standing.
- Everything I say, I stand on. Period.
- I'm standing on it.
We wanna do, like, a family fun day.
- Yay!
- My kids wanna do a family fun day.
- Aww. - They've never met your son.
- Aww.
- I wasn't invited.
- You can call me a horrible person.
I don't care.
**
- I'm pretty, petty, and always sittin' on ready.
- You may think you know my story,
but there's always a plot twist.
- When it comes to the truth, I always arrive on time.
- My vocals are clean,
but my reads are fulfilled.
- I may not remember everything,
but you'll never forget me.
- I'm a Nigerian queen, with not time for mean.
- Just like a three wick, I burn slow
and never waver.
- You guys gonna teach daddy some moves?
- Who is gonna teach me some moves?
- Karter and Kruz.
Come on, Karter.
Yes, that's-- look at that boy.
You see that form? [laughing]
- See that form. Look at Kamrynn. Kamrynn--
- You can't teach that.
- It's God given, you know. - It's God given.
He got it from his mama. - Look at Kamrynn, though.
Here she comes. Look at her.
Look how she's holding the ball tight.
She's ready, too. Yeah. - Yeah.
- You did a good job. - Good job, mama.
- We can watch brothers, okay? - All right.
We could be their cheerleaders.
- Wanna be a cheerleader, Kam? - Look at Karter.
Mmm. That's my baby. - There you go. There you go.
- Straight to the draft, right?
- Let's go. Let's go, Kruz.
- What's up, babe? How you doin'?
- Mama Wendy is good. I met with Peter,
which I need to talk to you about.
We had-- - Buddy-- buddy.
He's your buddy. He's not my buddy.
- Okay, so I have-- - Tell me about this
'cause you've been ripping around,
and I have yet to hear about this.
- He is looking to open another restaurant.
- Okay. - And he liked my idea
that I proposed about the Nigerian restaurant.
So, the numbers of it all, okay.
- Let's get to-- let's get to it.
- It's $1.6 million.
- Hey, hey, one point six whose?
- One point six million dollars.
- One point six get it, okay.
- You got time to go home and convince your husband
this is what you really wanna do.
- Right.
- You better put it on tonight, baby.
- How much of that is coming from you?
- Three hundred thousand. - Uh-huh.
- It wouldn't be a 50-50 split, which made me feel good
because I'm not gonna be in there every night
'cause I don't have the bandwidth.
- So, I'm glad you got to your bandwidth.
I'm just really wanting to understand
why you're going down this path when we just did this
with Onyi Home Essentials.
You know, you got a handful of candles.
You need to think about the business plan,
the financials, how you're gonna finance it.
You know, you're not gonna just be paying outta your pocket
all the time, are you? Like-- - No.
I'm gonna be paying outta your pocket.
- See? That needs to be in your business plan
'cause my pockets have been closed.
- I don't know if I'm going into the restaurant business.
All I'm trying to do, is when I see opportunities,
is try to take them.
- Yeah, but at what cost to your health?
Shoot, at what cost to me, right?
- Well, I would never do anything
and go into business with anyone without your support.
That's why I'm coming to you. I need your support.
I want your support. - All I'm saying is,
you got enough on your plate, right now.
I don't know if you can have it all.
Who-who-who has it all? I don't know who has it all.
- It's just a matter of if I decide to do this.
That's it. - Hmm.
- I wanna get down. - You wanna get down?
Babe, speaking of gettin' down and gettin' low,
so, you know, Ashley invited us to her dance class, right?
- It's TikTok Ashley. - Tik-TikTok Ashley.
- Tik-Tok Ashley. - Um, and it was super fun.
I hit the moves. Like, I had the eight count.
Boom, boom. I was here with it, right?
- Yeah, okay.
- But afterwards, it got real messy.
I was talking to Ashley one on one
about all of our thoughts surrounding Mia.
- Yeah.
- As I'm talking to Ashley in this calm voice,
outta nowhere, Robyn hops up, screaming at me, saying,
"Well, Wendy, if you felt like we all felt,
why didn't you"--
Robyn, where is this energy coming from?
- But you wanted to come over and act like Robyn and Gizelle
were the only people that had questions or that had doubts.
- You called her a liar.
And then to put the nail in the coffin,
she invited everyone and their children
to a family fun day. - Okay.
- Didn't ask me. - Mm-hmm.
- She was like-- - (BLEEP) them kids.
- Basically. She was like, "That's fine.
I'll be the bad guy."
- Wait. We're doing it, right now?
- Yeah, we gotta practice.
No. Whoa. Oh, boy, oh, my God.
- What?
- That is not what it's meant for.
- All right, my-my bad.
- What's up, guys? What y'all doin'?
- We're practicing.
We're gettin' a-a leg up on the competition tomorrow.
- Oh, this is part of your gameday.
- Family fun day.
- Let me see y'all do this potato sack race, though.
- So, most of our kids are on spring break from school,
right now, and I realized that
we never get together with our kids.
It's always the ladies.
So, I figured that having a family fun day would be great.
We're coming back or just down?
- Coming back. - Down and back?
- Yeah. - And I'm sorry.
I'm stubborn. I'm petty.
I'm really not in that place with Wendy,
but I don't have anything against her kids.
- All right, ready?
- Juan, I think you should do it, so you can--
so we can, um, follow your lead 'cause we're trying to win.
- I don't have to follow his lead, I'm good.
Yeah, I'm good.
- But he's a former world class athlete.
- No, no, no, dad she didn't say that.
- Oh. - Oh.
[laughing] That was close.
- No.
- You was cuttin' it real close, baby.
- Oh-oh, you-- that's what you thought I said.
- Yeah, yeah, that's what I thought.
It was real close. - No. All right.
All right, cool. - I'm about to whip y'all ass.
- All right, ready? Set, go. - Mm-hmm.
[grunting]
- Cheating. That's some cheating.
Y'all cheat. [laughing]
- Oh, you suck, Corey.
- Robyn, you're pretty bad at that game.
[laughing]
Jesus Christ. - What?
- I'm outta shape. [laughing]
- Yeah, this is not what I remember it to be
when I was a kid. [laughing]
This sh-- is hard. [sighs]
Let me grab some water, real quick.
- Get under the ball, Corey.
- I think it would be fun for everyone to play, like,
flag football, like the kids, the ladies,
whoever is there. - Oh.
- Um... [sighs]
Before the dance class, I intended on inviting everyone.
- Mm-hmm. - But just the way
that things ended between Wendy and I,
I just think it's best that she's not there,
but I-I don't want anyone to think that
I'm intentionally leaving her kids out.
I came up with something that works for me.
- There you go. - So, I'm gonna call Candiace.
- Okay.
- I'm gonna ask her to play auntie and to call Wendy
and ask her if Auntie Candiace can bring the kids
to family fun day. - I like that.
- You like that? - There you go.
That's how you compromise.
It's not about you and Wendy. It's a fun day.
The kids are gonna be involved.
Wendy-- they have beautiful kids.
- Right. - Ha!
- It hurt my feelings because those are my kids.
I don't play with my kids.
Play with everybody else but don't--
- You play-play with me.
- Okay, I do play with my kids.
My job as a mom-- - Play with me!
- Okay, girl.
But the whole dance class was just a mess.
It went left real quick.
- I was at least hitting the rim.
Jeez.
- Oh, my God, the dance class was a sh-- show.
You had Wendy and I are arguing. - Uh-huh.
- And in the midst of Wendy and I arguing,
Candiace storms off, mad and crying,
because she had just talked to Gizelle.
- Oh, man.
- I told you how Ashley was alarmed
because she got a-a-- she called it a DM from Chris.
- So, last night... [sighs]
I get this DM from Chris.
At 2:42, he writes, "You shoulda came to the W."
- After the party? - Yeah.
Who are you at the W with? Not your wife.
- You know, he's the general manager at the Rooftop.
- Oh, he is? - Yes.
So, I told Gizelle what happened.
- Uh-huh. - And Gizelle was like,
"Oh, well, that reminds me of the time
when Chris pulled me into a room
during the reunion in New Jersey."
- Gizelle then proceeds to tell Candiace
how uncomfortable she felt.
- You want to say that my husband
made you feel uncomfortable. - One hundred percent.
- F-from Chris? - Yes.
- And being in a room with her? - Yes.
- The Chris that cooked them dinner.
- Yes.
- And Gizelle told me this that night,
like, on the ride home.
- Why didn't she tell Candiace when it happened,
if it was a big deal? - Well, I don't know.
So-so, do you think that Chris should say anything to Gizelle?
Like, does he owe her an apology or an explanation?
- I think-- I-I-I would,
especially if she told Candiace she was uncomfortable.
- And I don't want him to be, like, run away because of this.
Like, I don't want him to disappear.
- Yeah, he probably will.
- Damn, they're trying to get Chris.
[laughing] Why they trying to get Chris?
This is crazy.
[phone ringing] [sighs]
- Lord have mercy. Y'all just--
- Girl, it's important.
[laughing]
- No, look.
I'm calling you 'cause I had a little epiphany.
Juan Dixon spoke some sense into me.
I need you to do me a big favor. - Okay.
- And put on your auntie hat. - Okay.
- And call Wendy and tell her you want to take her kids
to the family fun day. - Ahh!
Okay, I will ask her.
I am 99% sure
Wendy is going to tell me to go to hell
and then tell me to tell Robyn
to go to the hell underneath that.
- Yay.
Okay.
Coming up next...
- Today was a little tougher for me.
- Why?
- Michael had his vasectomy today.
Um... - Ooh.
Was that already, like, planned,
or do you think he did that to be spiteful?
- No, he thinks I'm trying to, like, get pregnant.
- Huh?
**
- Bleh!
Ugh, this is--
Okay, dirty bird.
Ray gonna kill me, but this is dirty.
[phone ringing]
- Beautiful woman, hi, Rayvin.
Oh, my God, you look like a supermodel.
What the hell?
I'm here cleaning out the refrigerator
because I'm allergic to chicken,
which they call it the dirty bird.
- I haven't had chicken since you said that.
**
- I think turning 5-9 is just a number, first of all.
I plan on living a very long time.
So, I actually did go to a doctor,
who found out what my digestive system could digest.
And so, when she tested me for chicken,
i.e. the dirty bird, I failed miserably.
It's a traumatized bird that we're putting in our bodies
and, no, thank you.
I may absorb that trauma and...
[chicken clucking]
uh-uh.
- I am on a health kick, too, and it's really,
really hard because I have to go and, like, cook.
- Rayvin, do you own a pan?
- I'm gonna be honest with you. I don't.
- Rayvin is living her best life.
I could not be more proud of her.
I'm sorry. She's on the carpet of the Met Gala at 24.
**
I'm living vicariously. Just letting you know.
I think we all have to get on this healthy journey
together as a family,
and we gotta pull dad along with that.
- How are you and daddy?
- Hold on. Let me get my phone stand
and-and have a moment wit' you, okay?
Because hold on.
Let me have a seat. I'll pull up a seat.
Um... - Empty the tea, mom.
Yeah.
- So, the interesting thing is, I have learned that your father
really did not like the fact that I tweaked the boobies,
and he said, "Well, what kind of impression
"are you making for Rayvin?"
Something to that effect.
- Oh!
- And I was like, "So, what are you implying, sir?"
- Well, not him coming for you like that.
- I don't really want the world, or young ladies,
our daughter, or our nieces, whatever,
to be encouraged to go do that.
- Just like that!
And I was like, whoa, whoa.
What are we gonna do this? - Whoa.
- He know damn well I'm a good mother.
I am one of the best mothers, okay?
I'm just sayin'.
- Well, it's already done.
Father telling you his concerns after.
- Well, I think dad doesn't know that you and I talk,
woman to woman.
- I have eyes in all places.
You guys think you're over there doin' somethin'.
- I cannot wait to see you.
I miss you so much.
- I need fresh air. Like, I need to see a tree.
You know what I mean?
- But you-- this is what you wanted.
- Luckily, there's no kissing roads around here.
- You went on a date.
This is the road you'd have to come back on to kiss.
- Oh. Wanna stop here somewhere?
- We can stop right here. - And mess around.
- And, no, I ain't got time to kiss like that.
You don't know what you're missin', sloppy kisses.
- Yeah. Apparently, I'm missing nothing. So...
[laughing]
**
- Oh, gosh darn it, Dean.
Pretzels.
[knocking]
Coming!
Hi. - Ashley.
- Oh, wow! I love that. How are you?
- Hi, baby. - Oh, getting so big.
- How are you, sweets? - What's going on?
- Good, good.
- Auntea has been with me for both the highs
and the lows of my life.
Actually, she was with me
when I did the Virginia Pride concert.
* All the things I want to tell you *
* I've been through it all but we rise not fall *
[overlapping chatter]
- So, you can maybe help him turn on the TV.
- Hi, Dean. Yeah. - Yeah.
He wants to play with you.
But on a personal level, she's just really my homegirl.
How are you? How has everything been?
- Everything is good. Just grinding it out.
You know how it is.
- Yeah. - So, I'm happy.
Can't complain. - How is your house?
- I love my new house.
How is everything with you?
- You know, it's int-- it's-it's interesting.
You know, we've talked about this transition
that I'm going through. - Yes.
Is he here? - No, Michael is not here.
- Okay. So, does he live here?
- Yeah, but I'm just taking it day by day, you know.
Okay, so, we have this statement just in the event that Michael
does decide he wants to, like, date somebody or whatever.
I-I do want him to have some freedom.
You wanna go to a strip club?
You wanna get some T and A in your face?
Like, just do it, at this point.
- Yeah.
- I don't want anyone taking pictures of him
or reporting back and stuff.
- Which, you know, like, I appreciate it.
I was thankful for it, at the time, you know.
[laughing]
Michael and I both feel like it's important to release
a public statement because there will be
so many assumptions and people just jumping
to their own conclusions, and this is it.
Yes, girl.
I knew it 'cause of X, Y, and Z thing.
And, oh, I know this is true.
Did you hear? Da, da, da.
And especially considering the things that, you know,
Michael had done in the past.
We just decided to get in front of it
and put it out there for ourselves.
So, this is the new statement we've come to
that I actually really like.
Okay. [clears throat]
[gulp]
[laughing] - Why the big gulp?
- "Almost eight years ago when Michael and I said, 'I do,'
we anticipated sharing every single day together
from that moment forward.
Unfortunately, that is not our current reality.
We have decided to separate.
We are aware that there will be many speculative views
as to why we have made this decision."
Shut down your restaurant, shut down your event tonight,
and this marriage will be over.
- It's my restaurant. - Fine!
"But no one reason is the root cause of our mutual decision
"to go our separate ways."
- And a girl came up to me,
and we ended up going back to a hotel.
- I'm sorry. You did what?
"While our romantic bond is broken, we also know
"that true happiness can only be achieved
"by continuing to work together and putting our hearts and souls
"into raising our two beautiful boys."
- Party in Vegas.
[laughing]
- "We appreciate everyone who has been a part of our journey
"and ask for your continued support
"by respecting us as we go through
"this emotional situation."
- I like it, but I do want you to be realistic to know
that once we go public, no matter how nice and sweet
we package this in a bow, the trolls are gonna troll,
and they're gonna still pick up the story
and say things we're not gonna like.
- Yeah. - All right. So, yeah,
I think we need to release it in April,
before Mother's Day, so we have the strategy,
and it stays in our control.
- April? - Yeah.
- Okay. So, it's March 30th. - Yeah, April is next week.
You said next week. [laughing]
- Yeah, next week. Okay. All right.
I like the idea of the end of the week.
- The Friday? - Yeah.
- Okay.
Everybody is gonna have to stay home for a little while.
- Stay home? - Yeah.
- You know, he like to go out. - I know.
[laughing]
- Coming up next...
- Put your arms up like this.
- Okay. - So you can--
- It's better. - Yeah, take deep breaths.
- Breathe in through your nose.
- What is wrong with Karen?
- She doesn't like me.
- Oh, she was doing that to get away from you.
[laughing] - Whatever.
- All right, guys, I need help carrying all this stuff.
Here, grab that.
- Oh, we got some [indistinct]. - This might be-- I'll get this.
Grab stuff. - Okay.
Yo, somebody get that. Get that.
- Whoo.
I'm so excited for family fun day.
Even though I'm not going to invite Wendy,
I'm not gonna talk to Wendy,
I've extended the invitation to her kids.
So, if it's really about the kids,
then the kids will be here.
All right, let's do this.
Let's count many potato sacks we have.
- Cool.
**
- I think we're close by, which is nice.
- Mom, where are we going?
- We're going to the park.
I think it's a park.
We're going to family fun day, okay?
I hope everybody is ready for some fun
'cause that's what we're supposed to have.
I'm sad the twinny bops couldn't make it.
- And they're the most athletic.
- They're the most athletic of my three children.
- Out of-- yeah. - Yeah.
So, I brought the wrong kid.
I brought the wrong kid.
But, Grace, you're always a good time,
so it doesn't need to be-- - Right. Don't play.
- Yeah.
- Hey, guys.
Juliana? - Huh?
- Are you excited about the park?
- Yeah. - Yeah.
- Yay or, like, yeah? - Yay, yay, yeah.
- Yay, yeah?
How are you feeling, babe? - Feeling great.
- Yeah? - Yeah. How are you doin'?
- I'm good.
- I see the castle.
- It's the Mormon Church, baby.
- Wow.
- Doesn't it look like Disney World?
- Yeah.
- So, you know, when I was kid-- - Mm-hmm.
- And my stepmom used to come and get me from grandma.
- Mm-hmm.
- We used to come through here, and I used to always swear
that I was going to Disney World.
I've had positive women in my life.
It just so happens the one who gave me birth is not.
So, because I have my sh-- together,
I don't need my mom. - Oh, no. See?
- Well, that's how it made her feel.
- That-- yeah.
Okay. Well, I'm here.
- And I will tell you,
ever since my conversation with auntie,
mom and I are so good,
because she knew my mom before drugs,
and she says she watched her become addicted to drugs,
and she said that people who are addicted to drugs,
when they start using,
that's when their maturity stops until they're sober.
She is very well still in her 20s, early 30s.
- That is, yeah, that is profound.
- My entire life, I have been trying to figure out
what's going on with mom and why can't we see eye to eye,
and so having a conversation with my aunt has been, like,
the most eye opener that I could ever receive,
um, and I need to be more understanding in her trauma.
And it's not because she doesn't love me.
It's because she, unfortunately, suffered from a disease.
- She just has that-- right, right.
- Yeah, and so--
- And that disease caused the void, but, uh--
- Yeah, and I told my auntie, I said,
"I really wish you woulda told me this 20 years ago,"
because now when my mom comes around,
I don't expect her to be a mother.
I expect her to be...
[laughing]
You know, Robyn loves her.
You know, they met out in L.A. - Right, in L.A.,
I remember that.
- Yeah, and then I was like, okay, wait a minute.
These are my friends.
- Did Candiace and you have, uh, a conversation
at the, uh, dance party?
- I haven't said two words to that child.
I don't have anything to say to her.
What am I gonna say to her?
- That's why I was asking a question.
- And I was like-- - I was wondering how y'all stood.
- I said, "Hi, ladies."
Maybe she put herself in the group with the ladies.
So, I'm okay with that.
Candiace and I are-- we-we-we're good.
You know, I kinda forget she's there.
**
I think we're here, guys.
Come on.
- Get out of my way!
- Oh!
- Hey! [laughing]
Hi. - Hi, baby.
How are you? - Gordon, Mia.
- Girl, hi, honey. - Hi.
- Juliana, say, "Hi, Miss Robyn."
- Hi, Juliana. - Give her a hug.
- How are you?
How old are you? - Jeremiah, can--
- Four.
- Four, oh, you're a big girl, four.
- Give her hugs. - Bud, how are you?
- Robyn, how are ya, dear? - Hey, Gordon, how are you?
- I'm doing well. - What are we doing, girl?
You got us in a field.
- Uh, yes, girl. We're playing football.
We're having relays.
- Robyn is pretty regular,
so I really wasn't expecting a lot.
Did I say that?
- Is Josh here? He didn't make it?
- Girl, no.
Yeah, he said, "I have friends,"
and he wants to go hang out with-- don't ask.
Josh has more sense than me, okay?
He's booked and busy.
He don't have time for the-the shenanigans.
I probably should've listened to my 13-year-old child,
at the time, right?
'Cause, my God, I coulda sat this one out, too.
- Okay, this looks cute. - Okay.
- Okay, family fun day. - Yeah.
- Family fun day!
- This is my sister-in-law to be.
- Hi, sister-in-law to be.
- Is he awake? - So pretty.
- No, he knocked out in the car.
- He's not. - And is Juan here?
- Um...
- Coming up next...
- Okay. - It's not moving.
[laughing]
- Mia, this hop is horrible.
- Go! - And is Juan here?
- So, he got a root canal this morning,
and his face is a little lopsided.
- Oh. - Of course.
- But I was like-- but I'm like still come.
- It's okay. - He was like,
"I'm not gonna be the butt of your jokes."
And I'm like...
- So... is it really family fun day?
Okay, it's more like mom and kid day.
Okay, and, I mean, thank God for G.
He's like the community husband.
I mean, I'll share, but dang.
- Family fun day!
Family fun day! - Hi.
- Hey. - What is happening?
Hi, Gordon. - How ya doin', dear?
I'm doing well. How are you doing?
- Doing good.
Robbie D. - Hi.
- You need any help? - How are you?
We're just settin' up.
- Hi. - You look pretty in pink.
- Thanks. - Hi, Grace.
How are you? - Good.
- Do we have first, second, and third place?
- Yeah, where's the ribbons? - You know what?
I figured y'all don't like junk, so I didn't even--
- I mean, if it was an award to be won...
- I didn't even bring the prizes.
- Then I'd be in it. - I know.
- No, just kidding. - No.
Robyn wants to win the award. - It's called bragging rights.
That's it. - Okay,
that's what we'll have, bragging rights.
- Oh, okay. - That's what we're awarding,
bragging rights. - Okay.
**
- Hey. - Hi.
- Hey, Karen. - Robyn, what you got us into?
- How are you? - I'm good.
I'm hanging in there.
These allergies, girl, you got us out here.
- Oh, my God, I know.
- Someone shoulda told me we were gonna be Teletubbies today.
[laughing] - Oh, you're so cute.
- Jacqueline, hi. - Hi.
Thank you for inviting us.
- Oh, thank you for coming.
Hi, Patrick. - How you doin'?
- I'm Robyn. - Nice to meet you.
- And Patrick got-- we got you some, uh, goodies.
- Ooh, yay.
- I thought you said you were divorcing.
- Oh, yeah, we're not together.
- Oh, y'all are not together. - He's my PP.
- What's a PP? - Parenting partner.
[laughing] - Oh!
I was so confused. - Yeah.
- No, you did not just say the man was a PP.
[laughing] - He's a PP.
- He's a P-- that's what I said.
- He's a PP? Did she call him a PP?
- Yes. - He's your PP.
- I-I'm-I'm asking.
- PP? [laughing]
PP in my mind means small penis.
Don't nobody want that.
[phone ringing]
[sighs] - All right.
Candiace just texted me.
She just texted me that Wendy declined.
So... [sighs]
- Of course. - Yeah.
Oh, so, it's not about the kids.
[laughing]
It's not about the kids.
- I appreciate my girl, Candiace,
but she also knows no mother
is going to leave their children
to go with someone else,
especially to an event
that they were not wanted at.
That's weird.
- Y'all break up into two teams.
So, Ashley is late. Candiace is late.
- Okay.
- And Wendy wasn't invited.
[laughing]
- This is not okay. - Why is that not okay?
- Karen. - It's just the kids.
- I said, "Candiace, can you take on a auntie role?
Reach out to Wendy. Say, 'Wendy, I got your kids.
I'll bring 'em.'" And Wendy declined, no.
- You should have been bigger than that.
Yeah, because it's about the kids.
- I'm not, I'm not. - Karen, you weren't there.
Karen, you were not there. - It's about the kids.
Those babies should be right here.
- So, maybe not-- - No.
- I expect y'all to behave yourselves better
when I'm not around. I can take a sick day.
[laughing] I can have a sick frickin' day.
Send your children with someone else?
Why don't you send your children with someone else, Robyn?
Please. No, it makes no sense.
- We're just gonna get started.
Let's see. The-the boys, Corey, Aaron--
- Okay, I'm-I'm taking Justin.
- Y'all gotta split up.
- Grace, are you participating?
- I'm the manager.
- Oh, okay, fine, manager. - You're the manager?
- Yes. - I'll take Carly.
Um, I'm gonna take Mia.
Mia, you're on my team.
- Okay. - Okay.
All right, so, the four of us are on a team.
Miss Mia, let's go.
So, Robyn is very laid back.
And she's giving us no direction.
I don't know what's happening.
- All right.
This is not like a serious competition.
We're just gonna wing it,
and we'll figure it out from there.
- Charrisse made it! - Hi.
You-you didn't bring tennis shoes?
[coughing]
- I'm sorry, I shouldn't be coughing around people.
- It's okay.
- How are you?
How are you? - Hi.
- Good to see you. How is everything?
- Good to see you, yeah. I love that color.
- Everything is-- are you doing a sack race?
I-I'll watch the kids.
- I wanna go ahead and play.
I'm going to get on Robyn's team, real quick.
She didn't invite me, but I'm doing it.
Robyn, how many-- how many teams are there?
I don't know how long I'm gonna be able to last.
- There's four teams.
- The pink came ready!
- Y'all ready? - We're ready.
- Set, go!
- Come on. Whoo! Whoo!
Come on back!
- Go, Robyn! Go, Robyn! Go, Robyn!
- Come on, come on up.
Okay. - Hold on.
Hold on, hold on. Okay.
- It's not moving!
Okay, here we go. Here we go.
- Come on. Way to go. Good job.
- I'm not made to do this stuff.
- Whoo!
[laughing]
- Mia, this hop is horrible.
- Ahh! Ahh!
- Okay, Mia, girl, this isn't for you.
Half of your new booty don't fit, honey.
- Hey. - Whoo!
- The pink team won! - I made it.
[coughs]
- I know. This is too much for you.
Come on, come on.
Let me get you some water.
[coughs]
- But I have a respiratory infection.
- You-- yeah. - I shouldn't have done it.
- It's okay. - What is wrong with Karen?
What happened? Her boobs? - I'm-I'm--
- Put your arms up like this. - Okay, it's better.
- So, you can-- yeah, take deep breaths.
- Breathe in through your nose.
- Like a...
- What is she doing?
- Is there a CVS nearby?
- The grand dame is grand dameing.
You okay? - No, it's just my--
I should have taken a Z-Pak, and I didn't.
It's okay. - Okay, you have to sit.
Why don't you sit down? - I'm gonna call.
I'm good. I'll let y'all know.
I'll text you. Have fun.
- Whatever.
- G, can you walk me to the car?
- Yeah, absolutely.
- Yeah, I'm just gonna go ahead and make sure I make it home,
to the car. - Yeah.
Yeah, absolutely, absolutely.
- But did y'all speak, though, when you came?
- No. She doesn't like me.
- Oh, she was doing that to get away from you.
[laughing]
- I need my Z-Pak.
[coughs]
Coming up next...
- I've been trying to get in touch with Michael,
and I cannot reach him.
And then when I call, it does that dun-dun-dun-da.
"The caller you are trying to reach--"
- Oh, she was doing that to get away from you.
[laughing]
- I need my Z-Pak. [coughs]
- She probably is.
- Oh, no. - It's like a thing.
- Yes, I said--
I said, "Why haven't you talked to Charrisse?"
She said, "Who?"
As if she did not know your name.
Why are you ignoring Charrisse?
- Who? - Charrisse!
- How is your children's 16th birthday party going?
How is it going? - You know what? That's not right.
- Yeah, I have that effect on people these days.
- Do you? - Gizelle, like-- what?
[laughing]
- What's next? Three-legged race?
- Robyn, how much time did you spend organizing this?
- So, this is supposed to be a three-leg race?
- No, two legs.
- The four of us are on a team, Mia.
- Okay.
- So, you tie two legs together?
Okay. Your band can't come off.
All right, ready? - Yeah.
- Set, go! - Out, in.
Out, in. Out, in.
Sh--, sh--.
- Okay, turn around. Turn around.
[laughing] - Cheaters!
- That's genius. - Cheaters! Cheaters.
We win 'cause we did it right.
- Okay, okay. - We did it right.
Yes. - To the kids.
- Rest a little.
[laughing]
- Whose baby is this?
Hi. - How are you?
- It's great to see you. Hello.
- Great to see you, too. - Hello.
- It's great to be seen, as they say.
- Yes.
- Hi, Grace!
Gizelle is invited
to find the very blackest part of my ass and kiss it.
While she looks for it, I just will pass her over.
Next caller.
I'm here.
- You missed the whole relay race.
Hi. - Oh, I wasn't running,
but good.
Hi. - Aww, yes.
It's time for tug of war. - Oh, wow.
Okay, let's go. - Yes.
- Candiace, you have come, honey.
Hi.
You have spoken to everyone here but me, okay?
You're taking this too far, sweetie.
Listen, just tell your husband
don't ask me to go into private rooms.
Okay.
All right, everybody, get in squat position.
- So, how are you? 'Cause when I saw you,
you weren't happy.
- Child, some people are really just desperate
to say anything for attention.
- Mm-hmm. - So, they'll make up,
you know, the most heinous lies
just for attention.
- Pull! Pull! Pull! - Oh, oh, here we go!
- Pull! Pull! Yes! Yes!
[laughing]
- I'm sorry.
- That's how we do. - All right, limbo.
- Okay, I will attempt limbo. - Oh, I'm not playing limbo.
- You can get down.
- I am not breaking my back for nobody, okay?
- You can get down.
- Well, for-for certain situations,
but not limbo, okay? [laughing]
- Let's see who is limber.
Yay.
Who is limber? - What was that?
Do a little shimmy.
- Ashley! - How are you? Hi.
- Oh, the little ones. - Hi. Hi, little one.
- Two little grouchy babies.
- Hi, Dean. - Ahh!
- You cheated. Hey.
- Uh, okay, Ashley, come on. - All right.
- Say, "Go, mommy. Go, mommy. Go." Hey.
- Whoo! - Oh!
- That was almost.
- Hey, Dean. [crying]
- I'm gonna pop a squat.
Hi. How is it going? - How are you?
- So, Ash, how about the house hunt?
- Hi, Dean.
- What happened with that? - It's rough, girl.
Everything I like-- - Yeah.
- Um, gets bidded on really fast.
- Oh, this is nice. - Yes, a lotta space.
- It really is.
- All right. Well, keep me posted
on the house situation. - I will. I will.
- So, are you guys separating
because is this, like, a mutual agreement?
- I don't know. - Like, how?
- I feel like it is,
because he's not fighting for it at all.
- Really? - Mm-hmm.
I also think-- - And that makes you feel,
like, okay, this is what it is.
- Um, no, I'm still having a bit of a hard time--
- You want him to fight for you? - If I'm not lying. Yeah.
Today was a little tougher for me.
Michael had his vasectomy today.
- Ooh. [record scratch]
Was that already, like, planned,
or do you think he did that to be spiteful?
- No, he thinks I'm trying to, like, get pregnant.
- Huh?
- Like, that's one of the reasons
we haven't been intimate, 'cause he thinks, like,
I'm trying to, like, keep him in there a little longer.
You know what I mean?
- Mm-hmm.
- I know it's a little silly,
but, um, I...
knowing that it will be biologically impossible
to have more children with Michael
makes me sad because it's a little bit final.
- She probably should've had, like, two more
before she decided to divorce his ass.
Check one, check two,
check three, check four, let's go.
So-- but Michael got a vasectomy
because he doesn't want to have to have
any illegitimate children running around, okay?
[laughing]
Did I say that out loud? My bad.
Michael hasn't done anything to you, though, right?
Per se?
- No, no, no, no, no.
- Well, then why leave if he hasn't done anything?
I'm-I'm confused. I'm sorry. - Well, he--
- They're-they're different.
- Wait, he asked you that recently?
- Yes, girl.
- Recently, like, re-- - December.
- Been there. Done that.
- But I don't want that anymore in my life.
- I mean, yeah, mine wanted me to do it all the time.
- Wait, what? - Yeah, that's the thing.
- Oh, my God, I am-- - Yes.
- Who? - I'm too old
for this conversation. - Oh, yes.
It was to the point where he was like,
"Oh, it'll spice us up.
We should do it. We should try it."
- Are you bisexual?
- Well, I'm-I'm attracted to people. Yeah.
I wouldn't say bisexual but-- - Pansexual?
- I don't know what I am, honestly.
I'm still-I'm still trying-- - She's very much so.
Yeah. - To figure it out.
[laughing] - I know, girl.
I'm trying to figure that out, too.
- I mean, I'm open. - I know that's a word.
- I think it's time to call this day...
- A wrap.
- But I just want to thank you all for comin' out.
- Thank you for having us.
- I have no clue. [laughing]
- Peace out. - All right.
- Where are you going, bub?
- Thanks for having us. - Okay.
- Did you have your egg retrieval yet?
- Uh-uh.
I had to cancel the process,
because my follicles were not responding fast enough.
Like, I-I kinda feel like I failed at the IVF,
and it's, like...
[sighs] I'm kind of numb
to the IVF process in this moment.
I feel so lost, and I'm just--
I feel like I'm in purgatory.
- You didn't fail. You just-- you have to regroup.
That's not a failure. - Yeah.
- It's really not. - Yeah.
- Well, I put you in my journal the other day.
- You did? - I did.
I put some baby dust on you.
- Wait a minute. Is this like witchcraft?
What is this?
- No, it's just one of my affirmation journals.
- Do your sprinkles. That's good.
Just don't write my name in no book
and then, you know, start doing voodoo on me.
Like, that's-that's-- I-I just-- I don't know these ways.
I'm not familiar. If it's--
if Jesus ain't in it, I'm not-- I'm not sure.
- It's one of the most amazing things,
and I know you'll be a great mom. So...
[sighs]
- Thank you. - Yes.
- This is your mama, right?
- He's my bodyguard. - Yes. Are you the bodyguard?
- Who are you?
- That's right.
- You're-you're Dean the bodyguard.

[phone dinging]
- Oh, what?
[ding]
[dinging]
I have no idea who could have--
who could have said anything.
You know, my circle is pretty small
for a reason.
Ugh!
[phone rings]
- Hello. - Hi, babe.
Have you seen what's-what's been floating around?
- Yeah. It's stressing me out.
I mean-- - It's stressing me out, too.
I have no clue who could have possibly thought
that it would be okay to tell
my personal, intimate business to a blog.
- And hey, why?
- Without it having come from me directly,
it looks so much worse,
and it looks like there's all this, like, conflict,
and, like, that's just not the case, you know.
- Yeah, totally.
But the good thing is, it-it just happened today,
so there's still room for you to release a statement today,
and it doesn't look bad.
You know, I just don't think we should wait on it any longer.
- You know, I know that we talked about
this inevitably happening,
but, you know, I wanted to be the one to be in charge of it.
If I'm gonna tell everybody
how my boobies be leaking and stuff like that,
I think I should be able to say, "Hey, my marriage is ending."
Seems pretty logical to me.
I've been trying to get in touch with Michael,
and I cannot reach him.
- Yeah. I tried to call him, too,
and he's been going straight to voicemail.
- So, I know he was on the plane to Vegas earlier,
so my texts weren't being delivered,
but now they're being delivered, no response.
And yeah, and then when I call, it does that
"dun-dun-dun-da, the caller you are trying to--"
I'm like, what is going on with this man?
- Like, all the stuff I'm seeing,
they're praising you,
but they're definitely demonizing Michael,
and I know that that's not what you want.
- Ugh!
I feel backed into a corner.
I am concerned about how Michael is going to react.
- I'm pretty sure he's mad.
Like, anybody would be mad if they get off of a plane,
and their phone is blowing up with somethin' like that.
- Yeah, especially because, you know,
we had a strategy in place.
- Yeah, yeah. - So...
- We have to do something.
He did approve the statement.
How do you feel about putting it out
without talking to him?
- It's very uncomfortable because, you know, he asked me,
especially for his business, like, just to wait
until the timing was right.
What's the rush?
I mean, like, it's not like I'm moving out, right now.
I still have to find a house. So, I wasn't--
I didn't feel pressured, but we have to say something
because, like you said, they are demonizing him.
- Yeah, totally.
- I-I don't wanna make the wrong decision,
and I don't really wanna act on my own,
without consulting him
because he is a very active part of this.
I don't want it to be tense between us
and for us to be bickering and arguing
just because this happened.
- So, what are we gonna do?
- Yeah. My gut says-- - Okay.
- My gut says to do it,
to release the statement.
- You got this. - Yeah.
- And it's divine timing, too.
- This is God's timing, huh?
- Yeah, I guess it is. He forced it out.
- Yeah, girl. Whether I'm ready or not,
He said, "Let's go."
**
- Next time, on "The Real Housewives of Potomac"...
- Are there clauses about, like, infidelity?
- That's up to you guys. - Yeah.
- Are you worried about that? Is there a history there?
- Um...
- People used to tell me so much stuff
about Karen and Ray.
- She used to think she was sneaking outta town,
going to restaurants, like-- - By herself?
- With someone that wasn't Ray.
- Welcome to the burn session.
- What exactly is a burn session?
I'm not sure what I signed up for.
- Burn each other's edges,
'cause that's what's gonna happen.
[thunder crashing]
- No one called you a thug.
- You are hor-ri-ble!
- Why are you yellin'?
- Because you are horrible!
- You-- maybe you should control your emotions.
- I don't give a (BLEEP)! I don't give a (BLEEP)!
I don't give a (BLEEP)!
- My friend said that he was being a little bit flirty.
It-it don't feel good, huh?
Why do you lash out at me? - Everything you do,
comes from a place of nastiness. - No!
- You're a lying-ass-- - And I brought it--
- Vindictive bitch! - To this-this platform!
[thunder crashing]
