Eva and Cynthia hope for the best.
Cynthia and Eva talk about Kenya and Tanya’s situation. Both hope things don’t go too far. So Cynthia decided they should have Tanya and Kenya meet up so they can hash things out. Tanya arrives first and she is hoping that they can figure things out. And Cynthia doesn’t think Kenya really wants to actually beef with Tanya.
When Kenya arrives, she says she likes to look extra pretty before she “reads a b*tch.” After Tanya speaks to Kenya, she ignores her.
Kenya and Tanya clash.
Tanya gets right into it and says it’s clear that Kenya wants to “read her.” Kenya says that she didn’t say that but she is offended because Tanya doesn’t respect the fact that she’s a walking billboard of a million-dollar hair company. And Kenya says Tanya may not understand because she may get her money from her man.
In a green screen interview, Tanya says Kenya is just mad that she’s offering products about hair growth and didn’t want people to know she wears wigs.
Kenya believes Tanya is trying to ruin her brand. Things get heated quickly and Kenya ends up calling Tanya a c*nt. And Tanya says that Kenya is a hypocrite because of how she crashed Marlo’s wig launch. So Tanya doesn’t feel like Kenya can accuse anyone else of trying to ruin a brand.
Kenya then goes on to say that Cynthia is the one who invited the cookie lady out at an event because Cynthia wanted her to tell Tanya what Paul said. Cynthia gets upset and says that this isn’t true. She had no plans of trying to come for Tanya. She wasn’t trying to hurt Tanya with this information.
The Cookie Lady reappears.
Tanya and Kenya then talk about the conversation they had about IVF. After Kenya says that she felt somewhat attacked by the conversation, Kenya calls BS on this. Shiana, the Cookie lady, then walks up to the table to speak. She hugs Kenya and Kenya confirms that she told her to come in a green screen interview.
In a green screen interview, Cynthia says that she is angry that Kenya did all of this. And she really doesn’t like that Kenya tried to throw her under the bus.
Shiana says she saw Paul at the restaurant Chops and he wanted her attention. And Paul followed her to the restroom and told her he did real estate. He also said he was single.
Tanya says this sounds like BS because Paul is in tech. And everyone who knows him knows he’s in tech. Shiana then says Tanya shouldn’t be mad because she’s gorgeous and Paul was interested in her.
But Tanya says this was a non-story and this woman is lying. Regardless, Shiana makes her exit with Kenya, and it’s awkward as Eva and Cynthia eat the cookies.
Dennis and Porsha have more work to do.
Porsha and Dennis go to another therapy session. It’s clear it’s going to take work for things to get back to where they used to be. For Porsha, she feels as if she’s had a mental block since he proposed to her again. So it’s hard for them to be intimate. The therapist says that Dennis will have to do some work to change that. But Dennis says he’s not the only one who has work to do. And he can’t read Porsha’s mind.
Porsha says that as she struggles to be intimate with Dennis again, she worries that he may use this to cheat on her again.
Cynthia spends some time with Mike and his daughters. In a green screen interview, she says she is still trying to get to know her future stepdaughters.
Kenya can’t get a word in.
Marc and Kenya go to Cynthia’s wine cellar. Apparently, Marc is looking for a place to host an upcoming charity event for black men. As Marc talks through what he envisions for the space, Kenya can’t get a word in edgewise. In a green screen interview, Kenya says you don’t try to chime in when Marc is talking things out to himself.
They call Mike. He’s going to host the event and they want to have another couples night out.
Later on, Cynthia vents about Kenya and Tanya’s blowup. She doesn’t like how Kenya handled things. But Mike urges her to not get involved in high school drama.
Mama Joyce and Todd have regressed.
Todd and Kandi talk about Kayla. Their relationship is still a bit shaky. And Todd still wants Kayla to be more independent. They then discuss Mama Joyce. She said she is going to put Riley down as her beneficiary before Kandi because she doesn’t trust that Todd will make sure that her grandkids get everything.
In a green screen interview, Kandi says things have regressed between Joyce and Todd.
Kandi says that Joyce doesn’t want Todd’s name on her house either.
Cynthia worries about Mike’s past.
Mike has a lot of his female friends over while Cynthia is visiting. In a green screen interview, she says that they are all pretty and she’s never thought to ask him if he’s dated any of them. While he has male friends, he doesn’t have many and it’s because he worries that he could hang around men who will encourage him to slip back into past bad behaviors.
They talk about the fact that Mike hasn’t been faithful to other women in the past. And writing a book was therapeutic for him. In a green screen interview, Cynthia says Mike has cheated on his wives before her. She sometimes wonders what makes her different.
After he talks about cheating on his daughters’ mothers, his younger daughter looks upset. She also seems hurt after he says Cynthia is the first woman he’s ever been in love with. He tells his daughter to go upstairs so they can talk privately.
Mike knows he was inappropriate to discuss this in front of her. When he and Cynthia go upstairs to try to talk to his daughter about it, she breaks down crying.
