‘Basketball Wives’ Recap: Evelyn Crosses the Line With Her Cece Shade

Jackie and Malaysia get ready for Amsterdam.

The episode opens with Jackie and Malaysia giving themselves facials, getting ready for their Amsterdam trip.

Jackie’s shocked Jennifer’s not going to Amsterdam with them, and Malaysia’s happy about it. Both of them agree Cece and Kristen need to work out their issues before the trip. However, that didn’t happen yet.

As a result, Malaysia wants to stay out of it.

Kwame takes a big step in his relationship with O.G.

Meanwhile, Kwame’s back in the US and preparing the mood for O.G. When O.G. gets there, he has rose petals all over the floor of their place. He surprises her with a bouquet of roses and a glass of champagne.

She’s really happy to see him return. He tells O.G. he’s thinking about taking the next step of their relationship; moving in together.

Although it’s not an engagement, she’s happy he’s ready to move in with her. She’s also happy to see him before the trip.

Jackie tries to convince Tami to come to Amsterdam.

Tami’s getting makeup done when Jackie stops by before making her trip to Amsterdam. Jackie tries to get Tami to make the trip, but Tami’s declining.

“I’ve never had fun on a single vacation [with the girls].” – Tami

Jackie’s also sad to see Reggie not propose. However, Jackie’s happy Reggie’s staying around, despite her change of heart.

Next, Jackie’s with Cece and O.G. at a spa to relax and detox before their trip. O.G. shares her good news about Kwame first.

“I’m in a better place with Kwame…” – O.G.

During their sit-down, Cece brings up how she’s beefing with Evelyn and Jennifer. She’s really can’t stand Jennifer but she knows Evelyn is her sidekick.

Jackie warns her that Evelyn has a mouth and needs to be careful with the name calling.

Evelyn’s ready to be shady in Amsterdam.

Eventually, Shaunie and the ladies arrive in Amsterdam. Evelyn’s ready to pounce on Cece. If Evelyn gets called “Dumb and Dumber” one more time, she’s going to pounce on Cece.

“B****, like no one gives a f*** about your degree. I’m proud of you. What more do you want? Do you want a cookie?” – Evelyn

Kristen, who’s sitting with Evelyn and Shaunie, laughs along with it. Evelyn just continues to throws insults at Cece.

While they’re on their bus, they’re at taking in sights and sounds of Amsterdam. Of course, Jackie wants to watch people have s*x in their red light district.

When they get to their hotel, they are impressed with their digs.

Shaunie lets them know that they’re going to have dinner tonight. Cece stays quiet and Evelyn notes this.

It’s brought up how Jennifer and Tami are not there. O.G. brings up how sad to she is to see Jennifer’s relationships deteriorate. However, Malaysia’s numb to the feelings.

“You get used to it.” – Malaysia

Next, Malaysia gets real shady towards Jennifer being on that island.

“She’s not alone.” – Malaysia

“Who’s she with?” – O.G.

“All of her lies.” Malaysia

Evelyn beings up she’s glad she doesn’t have to see Tami “waddling” around smoking her cigarettes.

Tami’s daughters question her second thoughts on marriage.

Meanwhile, Tami’s at home getting ready for a trip to New York. Her daughters are there and she tells them she’s not getting married to Reggie.

Her daughters are confused about this, and ask her if she expects him to stay without getting married.

Tami brings up how she’s confident Reggie, unlike her, will not change.

Evelyn throws racially charged shade at Cece.

Shaunie leads the ladies to dinner. Shaunie’s trying get the ladies to smoke or use forms marijuana. She’s going to use them as guinea pigs, testing things out she’d want to sell in her dispensary.

Things turn serious when Evelyn jokingly asks Cece if she’s going to say hi. Cece gives Evelyn a dirty look, and Malaysia screams out, “oh s***,” because she knows it’s about to get heated.

Evelyn calls Cece disrespectful for not saying hey. In her green screen interview, Cece says she was trying to keep her distance from Evelyn.

Shaunie stirs the pot, egging on Evelyn, saying she didn’t speak. She tells Cece she doesn’t have to keep her distance and they both note they haven’t gotten a chance to know one another.

Evelyn then brings up shade from earlier in the season, asking Cece if she said she said they don’t work.

Cece says she doesn’t know and Kristen jumps in, bringing up what Cece said during the wig party when it was just her and Cece.

Cece passionately denies this, and says Kristen stabbed her in the back for even telling them that.

Malaysia and Kristen just say own it.

Finally, Evelyn brings up Cece calling them “Dumb & Dumber,” which leads to Evelyn possibly crossing the line during their argument.

“You always have a problem Evil-lyn.” – Cece

“No, I have a problem with you LeLe.”- Evelyn

“Who’s ‘LeLe’?” – Cece

“The nail shop girl.” – Malaysia

Shaunie looks in horror as Evelyn throws racially based shade.

“You can’t call this woman Le-Le. There are just so many levels of wrong.” – Shaunie

Cece says that shade demonstrates how evil she is.

After dinner, Malaysia tries to talk to Evelyn. Jackie talks to Cece and tells her she handled it well.

“I was very, very proud of you.” – Jackie

It’s also noted how Kristen and Cece’s relationship is more broken than ever.

“I truly do not know if I know her anymore.” – Cece

Jennifer will be in Amsterdam.

The next morning, Evelyn gets a call from Jennifer. Evelyn still pleads with Jennifer to show up in Amsterdam, and Jennifer plans to show up.

To soften the blow, Evelyn will talk to Shaunie about it. She definitely feels Tami has plenty of blame to share about the rumor coming out.

“You’re definitely not the only one responsible.” – Evelyn

Shaunie gets angry with Evelyn.

Afterwards, Evelyn meets up with Shaunie to tell her about Jennifer coming. When Evelyn tells Shaunie Jennifer’s coming to Amsterdam, Shaunie says, “Oh no the h*** you did not!”

Evelyn pleads that she needs to have a talk to Jennifer. But, Shaunie’s confused. She begins to think that Evelyn feels Tami plotted everything.

Evelyn wants Jennifer to talk to Shaunie, but Shaunie still doesn’t want to talk to Jen.

“You setting your friend up.” – Shaunie
