Karen has a messy spa day.
She arrives to the spa with Candiace and Sherman’s ex wife Kyndall arrives not too long after to meet them there.
All three ladies chat as they get pedicures.
Karen says that Gizelle is in timeout with her because she’s been very aggressive lately. She doesn’t understand why this is.
“Why can’t it be that she’s just a b*tch?” – Kyndall
Candiace says in a green screen interview that she’s not getting involved in this Kyndall drama because it’s not her place to be messy. That’s Ashley’s job.
Karen then asks what happened between Candiace and Chris at the CBC expo after party.
Candiace explains that she was upset that Chris called her a princess. Kyndall thinks this label is accurate and Karen says she would have dumped Candiace if she made hurtful comments about her father like she did Chris.
Regardless, Candiace is hopeful she and Chris will be fine.
Monique needs to make birthday plans.
Monique and Chris go on a date for some cheese and wine.
They agree to stay off their phones and enjoy each other. Chris does feel that Monique doesn’t spend enough time with him.
She then takes out her phone to show him the logo for her blog. Chris is impressed.
They then discuss Charrisse. Monique says Charrisse hasn’t been talking to her. She’s puzzled by this.
“I would just like to know what the heck I did if I did something.” – Monique
Monque’s upcoming birthday is then discussed and Chris says he wants her to do whatever she pleases. He will look after the kids.
She’s happy to hear this.
Ashley has a plan.
Ashley is at Oz planning an Open Mic night. She is expecting 100 people to attend.
The staff gives her ideas on how to set things up.
She will also be performing a song for Michael with her brother Zachary. She’s still upset that Michael doesn’t want to have kids yet but she’s trying to remain positive and remain married.
One of the staff members asks if Sheila will be attending. Ashley tells him she’s not sure because they aren’t on good terms right now. They haven’t been talking much since they argued over Michael.
It’s time for a trip to France.
Back at the house, Monique decides to plan a girl’s trip to France for her birthday.
She’s going to invite everyone, including Robyn and Gizelle.
Not inviting them would make her look petty, so she’s going to be the bigger person.
The kids help make the invitations.
While at home, Robyn and the kids get a visit from a mime.
He opens up a box and pulls out a tape recorder. He hits play and it’s a man talking in French.
The mime then hands her an invitation to France from Monique.
“Monique, I haven’t talked to her in days.” – Robyn
In a green screen interview, Monique says she can see Robyn is a genuine person and she’d like to move on from the beef.
But Robyn isn’t sure this is a trip out the country she needs to make.
Karen and Gizelle meet up to hash things out at a restaurant.
In a green screen interview, Gizelle says she misses Karen’s drunk phone calls at 3am. So she really hopes they can make up.
After Gizelle brings up what happened with Karen and Robyn, Karen checks her and says that she is not there to talk about Robyn.
She tells Gizelle their issues started back at the press conference. She says Gizelle never changed her ways and then tried to confront her at the charity dinner.
The mime from Robyn’s house shows up and comes near their table.
Karen says that Gizelle screamed and acted a fool at her dinner party. Producers then flashback to Gizelle calmly asking Karen if they can talk and Karen then having her kicked out with Robyn. She then chastises Gizelle for wearing the same jacket from a year ago.
Gizelle then calls Karen out for hanging out with Kyndall now.
“Kyndall hasn’t stabbed me in the back like you have.” – Karen
Gizelle then says that Karen is being lowdown by bringing Kyndall around.
“You should not be dating someone’s ex husband.” – Karen
The mime reappears.
Karen takes this an opportunity to leave as Gizelle is forced to deal with the mime herself.
Candiace and Chris go meet with an attorney to work on a prenup.
After the fight they had, Candiace realized it needed to happen immediately. Candiace has a hair-line, real estate and a salon business with her mother she will need to include in the prenup.
Chris says he has the restaurant that he’s a partner in.
When alimony comes up, Candiace says she only wants alimony if Chris cheats.
The attorney says they need to have different attorneys to make sure things are done ethically.
Charrisse and Monique hash it out.
Monique goes to Charrisse’s place to talk about their troubled friendship.
“I haven’t seen you in a while.” – Charrisse.
Monique says she’s been trying to contact Charrisse but she hasn’t been responding.
Charrisse says she feels like Monique made the charity event for Hurricane Harvey all about herself with the use of her friends.
“I felt taken advantage of.” – Charrisse
“I would never do that.” – Monique
Monique then breaks down crying and Charrisee hugs her.
Monique says she doesn’t care about any of the other women like she does about Charrisse.
“I want to get past this.” – Charrisse
Monique then admits that she got a little jealous by Charrisse being cool with Robyn and Gizelle again because she felt she was no longer needed.
But Charrisse tells her this was not the case.
The trip to France will be good for everyone, well at least Monique thinks so. But Charrisse warns her not to let anyone upset her on the trip.
She then gets a text from Gizelle who calls Monique out for not speaking at the expo. As a result, she tells Monique that she and Robyn will not be going to France.
Gizelle and Robyn make a decision about France.
It’s Open Mic day.
Ashley is disappointed that Michael had to leave for a business trip last-minute so he won’t be in attendance.
Karen is the first to arrive. Robyn and Gizelle then show up.
Minutes later, Sheila arrives. Ashley is happy to see her and gives her a hug. They haven’t seen each other in two months.
Robyn, Gizelle and Ashley discuss getting their invitations to France.
Gizelle declined, unable to understand why she and Robyn were invited.
Especially since she knows Monique has been hanging around Kyndall.
Candiace and Chris show up.
Karen then decides to hash things out with Robyn. Robyn still believes Karen lied about her event.
She accuses Robyn of attacking her character. Ashley tells them to chill because she has an Open Mic night to host. She tells them to find a resolution quickly.
“I’m sorry, you’re hurt.” – Karen
In a green screen interview, Robyn says she’s not moved by Karen’s apology.
After the performances begin, Charrisse and Monique show up. Monique asks to speak to Gizelle.
They go off to the side to talk.
Monique explains that she didn’t want to speak at the CBC event because she didn’t want to cause drama at Gizelle’s booth.
But Gizelle says this is immature thinking and all she had to do was say hello.
Since Monique didn’t get an invite to the expo from Gizelle, she felt like Gizelle didn’t want her there.
Gizelle says the invitation to France was weird since Monique didn’t even want to speak to her at the CBC expo.
“Well don’t come.” – Monique
Monique says that she feels being away in another county will help them all move forward. But Gizelle says she will only go if Robyn wants to go.
So Monique then says she will talk to Robyn.
Michael then pops up and Ashley is elated to see him. Sheila calms Ashley’s nerves to get on the stage and perform with her brother.
Sheila and Michael are somewhat cold towards each other. This disappoints Ashley but she knows everything may get better between them with time.
Ashley and her brother Zachary hit the stage to perform a song for Michael.
They get an enthusiastic round of applause after. Michael smiles and hugs Ashley.
Karen then decides to call it a night. She leaves quickly. Monique then asks Robyn to go to France.
Gizelle and Robyn agree to go but plan to do their own thing when they get there.
