Simone then asks if Quad has done everything in her power to get what she needs from Gregory, and Quad says she feels like she has.

“But being a damn fool ain’t either.” – Quad

Since Curtis and Cecil have been friends for years, she meets Cecil to figure out how she can move forward with talking to Curtis.

Cecil is happy to hear that Jackie is open to talking to Curtis.
They then start talking about Cecil and Simone’s troubled marriage.

The car is quoted as being $170,000.

“That’s why she was about to trip.” – Heavenly

“Why do you take that?” – Heavenly
Contessa says that she doesn’t want to disrespect her elders.
While everyone is eating, Mariah confirms to them that Quad didn’t tell her she wasn’t coming. Toya says Quad clearly didn’t feel the need to tell Mariah she was going out-of-town for her birthday.
They start talking about Jackie’s meeting with Cecil and Simone says she’s basically married to someone who can’t say he loves her.

She finds Lucy.
Heavenly says that she’s apologized to Mariah already in New Orleans and she’s so sorry for what she said.
Lucy says that she can’t forgive Heavenly right now because it’s not Godly and she’s not ready to.
Heavenly accepts this and wishes her a Happy Mother’s Day anyway.
After this, Mariah does a tribute to the mothers who are in Heaven, and releases butterflies to the sky.
She accidentally steps on a butterfly and kills it. This makes the other ladies laugh.
What are your thoughts on the episode?
Quad is doing to much & it’s sad. It’s Mariah’s party she can wear what she wants, DUH. Glad Jackie going to talk to Curtis before she kicks him to the curb. Simone getting on my nerves acting like a wouss, what is all the drama about after 20 years if you need to know if he loves you then ask him, what they need to do is get rid of that extra house, right now…. Some things after decades you just get used to.
I don’t care for Mariah and her mother like that but I can understand why Ms Lucy didn’t accept Heavenly’s apology. She knew it was some bullsh-t. It’s insane how she wanted to call voodoo evil when she’s evil her damn self. I can’t stand Heavenly. She’s the only one of the show who makes me side with Mariah.
I agree! Dr. Heavenly is an mean and evil person. I get sick and tired of hearing about her so called spiritual Journey. That woman is full of sh*t and irritating as hell! Even her own family seems annoyed by her. For some reason I don’t think Simone is as innocent in this situation with her husband as she appears to be, we all know she has a mouth on her as well. Quad buying a $170,000 is just down right foolish! Yeah its her money but that’s a house in Georgia! You don’t even know if u gonna be with ur husband atleast make sure u can take care of urself on ur own first. I really like Contessa she seems like a genuinely nice person. She brings a lighter side to the show but that maid or nanny whatever she is gives me the Florence off of The Jeffersons Vibe. she is so disrespectful and so embarrassing! I was hurting for Contessa last night. I am a firm believer that when people get drunk they speak the truth and that woman really feels she is a Dr.b**** who thinks she is better than her. that woman is bitter and jealous not to mention lazy for not cooking or doing hair etc when u suppose to be the nanny. One episode contessa literally came home from work and had to cook for her kids because the nanny claim she doesn’t cook that would have been her last day of work. If she worked for me.
