Tami and Evelyn feel out their rekindled friendship.
Evelyn asked Tami to go shopping with her after their pow wow with Shaunie. Although they have a good time, Evelyn thinks it will take time for them to trust each other again.
“It’s hard to go from not talking for four years to being BFFs again.” – Evelyn
They express how they both had miscarriages and bond over Evelyn’s IVF treatment.
“It feels good to know you aren’t alone through this process. – Evelyn
They also called Shaunie to tell her they are hanging out. Shaunie then takes the moment to let them know Jackie is furious about their truce.
Christen has some issues with her sisters.
Aja Montyer introduces herself. She has two children with different guys, with one being Dwyane Wade (she can’t say his name on the show thanks to a rumored gag order).
Aja tells Cristen that their dad is sick but Cristen is mad that she wasn’t invited to see him. Aja doesn’t like when Christen gets “overly dramatic.”
“We’re not cut from the same cloth.” -Cristen
Cristen and Evelyn hang out.
Christen and Evelyn are at Franklyn Canyon for a hike and time to bond. They also talk about how Jackie is mad about Evelyn and Tami squashing their beef. Evelyn doesn’t know why she is so irritated. Cristen agrees.
“Sometimes, Jackie gets irritated and I get confused.” -Cristen
They also bond over having miscarriages. Christen also gets advice about how to deal with her sisters.
Shaunie orchestrates a sit down with Evelyn, Jackie and Tami.
The four ladies meet up at restaurant. Jackie gets their first and preps the table in case things pop off. She had the waiters get rid of the glasses and utensils.
Tami and Evelyn walk in together.
It gets tense between the ladies real quick and Jackie just says, “lets just fight.” Evelyn and Tami burst out laughing.
Once things settle down, they talk about the DM Jackie showed Evelyn, that she received from Tami. Shaunie feels that Jackie is just stirring the pot, messing up the end roads between Evelyn and Tami.
“I’m still a work in progress… She needs to put her hands down. Just keep it cute for Ima have to put you on mute.” -Tami
All of sudden, Jackie puts a muzzle on herself.
“You never know whats gonna come out of her purse. That’s the surprise. It’s like a box of Cracker Jacks.” -Tami
Once things calm down, Tami explains her side of the story, telling Jackie that she feels she is stirring the pot. Jackie tells her that she really was trying to extend an olive branch at Tami’s book signing.
Jackie said, “Doug told me to bring a bottle of wine.” She thinks she feels that they aren’t seeing things from her prospective. But, she eventually apologizes.
Later on, Evelyn, Tami, and Shaunie recap the sit-down. They also have some hearty laughs as they discuss what Cristen wore at Jackie’s safari and wine outing. Evelyn wants to give her a make over.
Brandi Maxiell makes her return.
Malaysia and Brandi sit down at a bar for drinks. The two express pleasantries and talk about Malaysia’s dating life. She does tell Brandi she is celibate.
“No more free give-a-ways. I don’t want to be a hoe.” -Malaysia
Brandi tells Malaysia she is happy to be back in LA and out of Dallas. She recently lost her grandmother to cancer. Jason is playing ball overseas while Little Jason is with her in LA. Brandi is surprised to learn Evelyn is back on the show. Brandi says,”[Tami and Evelyn] aren’t friends, they’re just scared of each other.” Brandi is still harboring feelings of how DJ Duffey was treated in Portugal last season.
When Malaysia asks if she wants them to know that she is back, Brandi says, “Only Jackie.”
Malaysia meets up with Evelyn, Tami and Shaunie.
Jackie and Malaysia walk in and Malaysia is apprehensive.
“I’m actually glad to see Malaysia without Brandi.” -Shaunie
Malaysia tells everyone that she has moved to Atlanta. She will be traveling back and forth to LA for now. Jackie is devastated because she feels lonely and she doesn’t think she fits into the Evelyn-Tami-Shaunie circle.
Later on, they see a girl Evelyn knows who is a stylist name Saniy’yah.
They bring her into their conversation and Evelyn asks her to style Cristen. Jackie lets Evelyn know that Cristen isn’t going to like this styling idea.
“Cristen is going to lose her mind. Evelyn, she might even hit you.” -Jackie
Tami lets Malaysia know that she’s not going to be around Brandi.
Malaysia tells Tami she’s excited about her business and “cutting out noise” in her life. The conversation turns to Brandi, and Tami lets her know that she feels Brandi has some blame with the Duffey issue.
In Tami’s mind, Duffey was actually encouraged to “stand up” to her by Brandi.
Tami then tells Malaysia that she just can’t stand Brandi and doesn’t want to be around her.
“Right now, I choose not to be around Brandi. Respect that, Malaysia.” – Tami
What are your thoughts on the episode?
Tami is always blaming other people for her immature behavior.
They don’t like Brandi because she’s not afraid of them.
Stop it. Brandi is just hard to take. Let’s just be honest. She’s disrespectful and entitled. They like Malaysia and we all know Malaysia will chin check a chick quick
My goodness these women are so childish. I don’t think Brandi made Duffey do anything. Tami is being petty.
Malaysia made me chuckle when she said Evelyn and Tami aren’t friends just scared of each other.
Jackie does the absolute most as usual.
I love me some Malaysia but girl, please tell your ace boon coon Brandi to zip it! I hate that she constantly put Malaysia in compromising situations because of her big mouth.
