"Don't do this." - But girl! Girl!

Candiace tells me it's 'cause I'm white.
- Hello? - I knew it.

I thought this was, like, a picnic or something
or a backyard barbecue. - This is my picnic attire.
- That's your picnic attire. Okay.
- Ray, have you met my wife? - Huh?
- Extra is the name of the game.
- This is how you do a picnic. Yes.
Chris and my mom are fine.
Chris wants peace because he loves her daughter.
She did give him an apology the best way that she knew how.
- Have you apologized to your son-in-law's face?
You think he is owed that?
- Uh, I guess. Yes, that's fine.
- I guess. - That's fine.
- And that's-- that has to be enough.
- Robyn! - Hi.
Oh, you look so cute. - Hi. You, too.
Congratulations. - Thank you.

Is it just those two coolers?
Hi. - Hi.
- Look at the twins. - How are you?
- Hi. Skylar! - Hi.

I mean, it's not four, but it's two.
We love it.
Hi, Karen. - Baby.
- Aww.
- Okay, save it. Save it. - Aww.
- Is that-- that's beef, isn't it?
- Yeah, yeah, yeah, a little bit of London broil.
- Ahh!
How are you? - Congratulations.
- Oh, not-- you got-- it's a matching family.
I can't.
This is what I aspire to be.
I took a pregnancy test this morning,
and it was negative.
So, in the moment, I was--
I was disappointed. I was sad,
but now we can go back to our plan
and finish our egg retrieval process.
Ava.
- Ava, say, "Hi, Auntie Candie."
- Hi, gorgeous.
- Girl, I'm so hot.
- This food has made me hot.
- Robyn, you know, Ray and I have a lot of free time
on our hands.
- Do you? - When is the wedding, Robyn?
- Um...
- Uh-oh. - Uh-oh.
- Oh, she's-- - Oh!
Well, okay, no, I've been waiting for a wedding.
- She's gettin' hot. Oh, look at her.
She's gettin' hot all of a sudden.
- No, I'm already hot. - Seriously,
what is up with it? We got the wedding dress?
We got the venue? - We're working on our plans.
- Working on the plan? - Mm-hmm.
It's a private ceremony, just the four of us.
- Really? - Mm-hmm.
- So, we're not invited. - Nope.
- Now, you're having an intimate wedding
with no guests.
Okay.
- I'm gonna go and get a--
a little different kinda drink here.
- Just say, "Listen, this ain't for me and Juan.
"We're not gonna get married.
"We like shacking or doing it like we're doing it.
"It's none of y'all business." And I would mind my business,
but you make it my business.
- Hey, ladies. - Hey, Wendy.
- Hey. Hi. - Hi.
- Well, girls, look, I got to find my man.
- Okay. - I will, uh, leave you all.
- Okay.
Hey, Robyn. - Hi.
- How are you doing? - I'm good.
- Last time I saw you, we had a good drunk conversation.
- Very drunk.
- So, I'm-I'm just checking in because I feel like sometimes
people say a drunk mind speaks a sober heart.
- Mm-hmm. - And what I said to you,
is how I felt. I was hurt by things you did,
but most importantly for me, is like I told you.
I miss our friendship,
and I miss you. - Right.
I mean, you know, I, um, I've had time to think about it,
and my main question was,
why are you comfortable having that conversation
when there was, you know, no one from the group around,
where it didn't seem like you had to win a debate?
It wasn't met with the same contention
that I've been met with from you in the past year.
I wanna know what you're receiving
as them talking about your husband.
- You don't even have a relationship
to even care about.
- So, for me, it's like, which is it?
I don't know. I really don't.

So, for me, it's like, which is it?
I don't know. I really don't.
- No, I think it's a valid question,
and, like, I sat down, and I-I had liquid courage,
and I was like I'm gonna tell you how I feel,
but, in that moment, I just didn't want
what we had to completely be gone.
- Right, and-- and I appreciate that.
- Well, here I am. - Yeah.
- Coming to you twice-- - Right.
- So you know it's genuine. - Okay.
- And I am saying to you I'm sorry that I hurt you.
- Yeah.
- And I valued our relationship enough
to come to make it right. - I appreciate that.
So, I don't know if there's something
that you still want me to acknowledge.
- Uh, yeah. Are you gonna say you're sorry?
- For what?
- Are you gonna say you're sorry that you hurt my feelings?
- But I have said that already.
- Okay, can you say it again?
- And so, I'm sorry.
[gasps] - Oh!
- Oh, you apologized to me!
Aww.
- I'm surprised that she actually took ownership
for her part that caused
the dissolution of our friendship.
[laughing]
Like, I'll take this Wendy,
this one-on-one Wendy, any day.
- Where is everybody? It's hot.
- You dancing? Let's go.
- Baby, you gotta look at the camera.
[laughing]
- Miss Candiace. - We have to have a chat.
- Can I get a brewski while I have a moment with Candiace?
- Oh, okay, I'll find one. - Yes, let me get my drink.
- Okay, I'll give you this. Yeah.
- Hey, how are you? - How are you?
- I'm good. - How you feeling?
- It's so good to see you. - It's so good to see you, too.
- I'm good. - Y'all been all right?
- We've been good. - Okay.
- Yeah.
- Yes, I will.
I know. I might go over there today.
- Okay. Is she doing okay? - Eh.
- Just taking it day by day for sure.
- Yeah, day by day. Yeah.
- All right. So, okay. So, we have to talk
because remember we were at that last dinner in Miami.
- Yes. - And Ashley told you
that I said that you were-- - In these streets.
- She was sneaking outta town, going to restaurants
with someone that wasn't Ray.
I did not remember saying it, and that's why I was
vehemently denying it. - Girl, I have had my--
- I was being messy and drunk
with a demon.
- People used to tell me so much stuff
about Karen and Ray.
- Oh, my God!
My bad. I love you and Ray.
- Ooh, I know you do. - Y'all are in--
y'all are in these streets together.
- But that-- we are, hustling.
- Yes, uh, we see that.
- But let me say this.
That means a lot to me
because we had made progress. - Yes, we have.
And I-- and I don't-- - Albeit very slow progress.
- Right, but I don't want the progress
to be put to the side.
- Thank you. - Thank you.
- I was like, you didn't hurt me like that, did you?
Did you see... - No.
- I mean, when you own your sh--,
I'm okay with you,
and this is not enough to end it,
but I'm-I'm watching you.
Miss Ashley, was she lit that night?
- We-we both were. Yeah. - Oh, so-so,
she was being shady, too. - Yes, she was.
- 'Cause I've grown with Ashley, too.
How are you with Ashley?
- We're not. - Okay. God is good.
- Our group is disjointed. - It really is.
- And as much as I don't care for certain individuals,
I don't like that we're not all together.
- Yeah, yeah, yeah. - So, this or that.
- 'Cause her and Candiace aren't on the same page. So...
- Yes. The way I saw it was like,
it didn't have necessarily anything to do with Candiace.
It was just you and her that had the thing.
- I was just trying to help Gizelle understand
how Candiace communicates
so that they might communicate better.
- Right. - At the end of the day,
your feelings are your feelings. - Bam, yeah.
- And if she was uncomfortable, she was uncomfortable,
but it wasn't because of anything I did. So...
- Hmm. What about you taking the higher level
and apologize to her
'cause it was a misunderstanding?
- Apologize for what, Ray? I didn't do anything.
- She misunderstood your intentions, apparently.
That-that's a-- - But there was no intentions.
- I know.
- I still feel like I'm admitting
to some-something that I did wrong,
and I stand by the fact that I did absolutely nothing wrong.
Well, let me go back over here-- - That's funny.
- And see how Candiace-- - Yeah, all right.
- is doing, Ray. - That's good. Yeah, go ahead.
Good chatting with you for a second.
- And let's say
they do meet, and they do talk.
We don't know what else Gizelle is gonna say
because who the hell knew she was gonna say this?
Can I get everyone's attention, please?
I just wanted to thank everyone for coming.
Hi.
- Oh, my God, there's too many ----ing people in here.
- Um, this is a really momentous occasion
for my family.
We're celebrating my MBA,
and I have to thank my mom for being my example.
- So, I wanna thank you personally, Mom, for--
- Aww. [applause]
- For being that example for me.
- I'm really, really, really proud of you.
- Thank you, mom.
- You know, you've worked so hard.
- Get it from you. - Yes, you did.
- You have set the example. - Yes, yes, yes.
- It's a wonderful feeling to look around a room
and see all of your blessings.
It reminds me what I'm capable of.
Regardless of whom may come
and attempt to create contention,
what God has for you, no man can take.
To magical Blackness. - Yes!
- To living your best lives and celebrating yourself.
[cheering]
Come on, get this!
- I feel like it. [laughing]
Oh, man.
- Next time,
on "The Real Housewives of Potomac"...
- Mia did talk about the fact
that she allowed Jacqueline
to have sex with one of her boyfriends,
and Mia wanted to watch.
So, I was like, is this happening currently?
- Oh, whoa! [laughing]
- What are you doing, Candiace?
- I'm trying to do a crunch. - M'kay.
[sighs]
- I am incredibly nervous
to shoot my music video with Trina.
Oh, God, ow. Okay, that's good.
- Welcome to "Reasonably Shady!"
[applause] [laughing]
- Now, you know this part of the show is boring.
- I wanted to talk to you about the prenup.
The question was posed, like,
do you put an infidelity clause?
- We know that Gordon likes other women.
So, you never said, "Pick me?"
- You'll have to ask Mia that. - I'm asking you.
Somethin' strange about this.
It wasn't Gordon that bought you the car?
- Are you trying to say he's my sug--
I'm a sidepiece now? - Why?
You want a Porsche, too?
- You think there's more to it?
