“I’ll be better in a couple of days.” – Contessa
Dr. Jackie talks to Curtis about the trip to Miami.
She feels like the way some black people were raised back in the day may have contributed to their craziness.

When Cecil tries to tell her she’s being “negative” about the situation, Simone reminds him that he had fun hanging out with all his friends while they were living apart. There’s plenty of pictures on social media that show this.
Regardless, Simone knows it’s time for the family to live under one roof. She and Cecil jokingly discuss how much work it will take to teach their sons how to be cleaner.

Her aunt hopes Quad’s divorce will be quiet. In a green screen interview, Quad says she filed for divorce and moved out the house into a new place.
She says Dr. G cheating on her was the last straw. They got into a nasty argument on her birthday. She realized then it was time to file the papers. But they have been texting back and forth. Quad feels like she really tried to make things work so she’s going to move on.
Another issue Quad is worried about is how the other women will react to her filing for divorce.

Heavenly shows up. She’s hoping she doesn’t clash with Mariah again.
Contessa becomes the topic of the conversation. Mariah and Jarrett says she looks good. Toya has an issue with the fact that Contessa texted everyone after the surgery.

This annoys Quad, Simone, Jackie and Heavenly. Shade is thrown in their green screen interviews.
Cecil and Heavenly have a conversation in front of Simone.
Heavenly tells Cecil that men need respect and s*x.
When she tries to drag Damon into the conversation, Damon says he wants to stay out of it. Simone then asks Curtis if he agrees with what Heavenly says, and he and Cecil both agree.

Quad and Mariah clash yet again.
After the men leave, they discuss how Quad can reconnect with the group. Quad explains that she hid some stuff to protect Greg.
She tells Toya she was trying to deal with things on her own and she’s the rock in her family. Mariah then says that all the women are the rocks in their family.
They start arguing.
“Everything is about you.” – Mariah
“But they are saying they want to hear from me!” – Quad
Mariah then asks Heavenly if she understands the point she was trying to make.
In a green screen interview, Heavenly calls Mariah a “lying, low down dirty b*tch.”
Heavenly steps in and says that she does think Quad was just trying to finish her thoughts even though Mariah has valid points.
She then says that bonding with Jackie and Simone has taught her what true friendship is. She understands Simone better and vice versa since the trip to Miami.
