It’s the day of the maternity shoot. 

The photographer tells Porsha and Dennis where to be. 

Apparently Porsha is five weeks away from her delivery date. 

Although she feels gigantic, Porsha manages to make the shoot a sensual one anyway. They even include hot dogs in the shoot. 

Dennis has been taking Porsha to work. 

She’s feeling like it’s time for her to consider maternity leave. 

Porsha and Dennis still can’t agree on living arrangements. 

While they are in the car, Dennis says this is why they need to buy a house in Atlanta. Porsha doesn’t want to move out of her house in Duluth because she loves it. 

She wants to live in her house for two more years. And that’s what Dennis originally agreed to. 

Dennis says he doesn’t like that he had to put all of his things in Porsha’s basement. 

Porsha goes through his things and tells him he can get rid of a lot of his clothes. 

He says that the issue remains the long drive to and back from work. Realizing they won’t change each others minds right now, they agree to revisit the discussion at another time.

Shamea gives Porsha a different perspective. 

While hanging out with Lauren, Shamea comes by with her baby 

Porsha tells both that Dennis is having a hard time settling in Porsha’s house. Shamea tells her that Dennis isn’t going to be happy there. So Porsha says she will look at new homes with Dennis. 

Shamea suggests that Porsha makes space in her closet for Dennis’ things. She doesn’t want to do this and Shamea tells her it’s not just about her anymore. 

Porsha meets Gary With Da Tea at a baby store. 

They work on Rickey Smiley’s Morning Show together. 

She tells him she’s going to take off for three months. 

Gary will host Porsha’s baby shower. 

Dennis says he wants to do a standup routine there instead of a traditional speech. Gary and Porsha laugh about this. 

Porsha and Dennis go look at houses.

They see one in Buckhead. 

The asking price is $2.5 million. 

It has 6 bedrooms and an indoor pool.

The realtor confirms a celebrity did live there. Although Dennis loves it, Porsha says they can get serious about looking for a house after the baby is born. 

Things are better for Porsha and Dennis’ mother Gina. 

She says they started to have a better relationship after she got pregnant. 

So she’s gang to have her mother Diana and Gina over so they can talk about how they will do things after the baby arrives. 

Lauren is there as well. 

As they eat, Porsha says they need to delegate tasks. 

Porsha will have a night nurse, so she wants someone to help during the day. 

Porsha gets upset with Dennis. 

Both Dennis and Porsha want their mothers to move in. 

Neither Gina nor Diane are happy about this.

Porsha tells them that she’s having a C-section, so she may be out of commission for six weeks. Lauren says she knows women who recovered from C-sections quickly. 

Lauren says she can’t bond with her baby if she has so much help during the day. 

Dennis says they don’t need a night nurse. And Gina says she still plans on working her job. 

In a green screen interview, Porsha says Gina hasn’t cut Dennis’ umbilical cord yet. She feels like Gina is too overbearing. 

Dennis upsets Porsha when he tells everyone that he put on offer on a house because he didn’t ask her first. 

So she storms off. 

Lauren goes upstairs and Porsha vents. 

She hates their living arrangement and she also hates that he moved forward with the house without talking to her. 

This reminds her of how shady Kordell was to her. 

But Diane says Dennis was just trying to surprise her. 

Regardless, Porsha says they need to work on their communication. 

The baby shower draws near. 

So Porsha meets with her event planner with Dennis, Lauren and Gina.  

Lauren tells Porsha her friends are flip floppers after she confirms that Kenya is coming. 

Later on, Lauren and Porsha talk about adding Dennis to her lease. She says it will be a process and take a lot of steps she’s not necessarily happy about. 

It’s the day of the baby shower. 

Shamari, Shamea, Tanya, Cynthia, Kenya, Monique from Potomac and Eva are there. 

When Dennis’ standup routine goes flat, Gary holds up a sign telling everyone to laugh. 

He ends his standup routine by telling Porsha how much he loves her and how proud he is of her.
