‘Mary Mary’ Recap: Tina Causes Conflict in Manchester & Israel

Mary Mary struggles to leave Kenya.

Erica and Tina have 18 hours to get to Manchester, UK from Nairobi, Kenya. Despite the traffic, and encore for Erica, they made it to the airport, able to get onto the flight.

Meanwhile, Warryn is holding it down the fort in Los Angeles. He’s planning to do something real special for Erica when they get home. Meanwhile, he is entertaining their kids with grilled cheese sandwiches.

When Mary Mary gets to Manchester, they come across the massive memorials made in town. They got more bad news, however, when they get to the hotel. Their reservations somehow got cancelled. Tina says, “It looks like everything has gone wrong.”

Erica says their show needs to be better due to everything that happened. But, she needs to get rest because her vocal chords are “on fire.”

Erica and Tina manage to get it together for their Manchester performance.

Tina made it to their rehearsal with the local band. It’s her job to make sure she and Tina gel with the new band and Rodney. Eventually, Tina takes Rodney to the side and told him, “This ain’t street ball. This is the NBA.”

Goo Goo made it to Manchester with a local makeup artist. Tina is really specific with her makeup so Goo Goo lays it down specifically. As Tina is getting ready for the show, Erica is no where to be found. Goo Goo tries to call her but she isn’t responding. This really stresses out Tina.

Eventually, Erica texts Goo Goo, telling her that her vocals cords are on fire. She’s nervous because the last time this happened, her cords began bleeding.

Even with all of this, Erica and Tina are still not on the same page with each other blaming the other for booking the shows.

Eventually, they were able to put their differences to the side for the performance. The band even impresses Tina. The put on an inspirational show for everyone at the festival.

At the end of the performance, Erica thinks they need to work on their new song. When Erica brings up the new song, Tina starts throwing out excuses and tells Erica she is not going to be pressured.

Warryn gets a text from his father, Warryn Sr. that another terrorist attack happened in England. He tries to call Erica, but he only gets her voicemail. Warryn feels guilty now for setting up the performance in England.

Eventually, Erica gets in touch with Warryn and he is relived. They are leaving Manchester safely despite the second attack.

When they land in Los Angeles, Warryn brings Erica to a hotel suite decked out in rose pedals. They celebrate their 16th wedding anniversary in style. Their mood changes when she tells Warryn that Tina doesn’t want to make the new song.

Tina’s over-extending herself causes stress for her mom Honey.

Mary Mary and their family only have 1 day until the Israel trip, and Tina is throwing Laiah an 8th grade graduation party. This is causing many family members to be behind in packing.

Their mom wants to go home and pack, but Tina wants to keep her around. This is causing Tina and her mom to clash.

“You know I overextend myself. Have you seen me sleep yet?” – Tina

Erica used this as an opportunity to leave for home, and pack. She is getting help packing from Alana. She tells them of her plan to have herself and the kids baptized. When she tells Alana about the tree planted for their father, Alana begins to cry.

When Alana leaves, she reminds Warryn to talk to Tina about recording their new song for the Israel concert.

At the party, Laiah has many of her friends there. Tina praises her daughter for raising her grades and graduating. Warryn stops by the party and tries to bring up the song. Tina still is very dismissive of recording.

Tina causes conflict over the baptism in Israel.

It’s the day of the Israel trip and the whole family is in the airport. This time, everything goes off without a hitch and everyone lands in Israel. When they land, they meet their tour guide. Tina makes it known that she doesn’t want to talk about recording any song while in Israel.

Michelle, who manages their itineraries, lets them know that they may not be about to do their concert at the Tomb as they planned. This worries the sisters, as Michelle works to find an alternate location.

Warryn worries about it because he feels this is the final chance at a new Mary Mary album slipping away. This worry gets worse as Erica notices that Tina is treating the trip as mostly a vacation.

At then end of their first day of the trip, Erica and Tina are at the hotel. Erica keeps trying to tell her about the song and the venue, but they begin to argue. Tina is standing her ground about not wanting to record anything related to Mary Mary. Tina tells Erica that she is adamant about not recording any new material. She says it’s due to not wanting to go back to the mind frame she was in when Terry was cheating on her.

At this point, Erica who feels that she’s given way more to the group than Tina has, isn’t going to change Tina’s mind and is ready to give up. However, Tina feels she’s sacrificed more for the group than Erica ever has, and it’s her time to do the sacrificing.

The next day, the family heads over to Capernaum, Israel. Their tour guide tells them this is near where Jesus lived. Erica is excited about being baptized in this location in the Jordan river. Tina, however, wants to be baptized exactly where Jesus was baptized. She begins to argue with the tour guide over the exact spot where Jesus was baptized. The guide tells them that the water there is swamp-like and the other location has cleaner water.

Teddy, steps in, and says he wants to be baptized where Jesus was baptized because his “salvation is at stake.”

Teddy begins to get aggressive with the tour guide and demands he confirms whether the location is safe or not.  After Teddy badgers him enough, he tells Teddy that the location is fine.

However, Erica feels safer adhering to what the tour guide originally told them, which is the location isn’t as clean as the other.

Tina gets furious at this point, and refuses to be baptized anywhere else other than where Jesus was baptized.

She then demands that the cameras stop rolling.

    1. I said the same thing. I only watched this episode and the was she was talking to the band and make up artist was enough for me. And I hate her hair.

  1. Teddy had me cracking up last night. He wasn’t worried about his salvation when he cheated all those times. Him and Tina are a whole mess.

  2. Everyone please PRAY for Tina & Teddy they think that getting baptised where JESUS got baptised will curve his desire for cheating and will give them the fairytale marriage “that has already been broken”(smdh)!!!!
