Kenya still isn’t feeling Tanya.

Cynthia is hosting Eva’s baby shower. There are sunflowers and drinks everywhere. The women discuss couples night, and NeNe relays how submissive Kenya was while Marc was there. Porsha agrees and NeNe says Kenya is definitely not herself around him.

Minutes later, Eva arrives. It was decided that the event wouldn’t be at her new house but at a friend’s home instead.

When Kenya arrives, it’s a bit awkward since Tanya is there too. After Kenya says Marc was mad she didn’t cook for him earlier, Tanya says cooking is a way of showing affection. In a green screen interview, Kenya says Tanya clearly doesn’t have as much on her plate as she does. And if Tanya was feeding Paul so well, he wouldn’t have been interested in the Cookie Lady’s cookies.

After Marlo arrives, the women play their first game. They suck bottles to see who can empty theirs first. Shamea comes in first place but Tanya may have been a close second.

Tanya and Kenya talk.

The next game requires them to make a toilet paper dress for Eva. Kenya wins this.

After this game is finished, Kandi takes Tanya and Kenya outside so they can hash things out before Marc’s charity event. Marc really wants Paul and Tanya to attend. Although Kenya and Tanya aren’t on the best terms, Kenya still wants the couple there.

Tanya says she will ask Paul but he may not want to come because of the Cookie Lady situation. And the accusations made were frivolous. Kenya says the accusations were frivolous to Tanya, but Tanya says that this wasn’t a shot at her character, but Paul’s.

In a green screen interview, Kenya says she already apologized to Tanya for calling her the C-word. So she can’t understand what Tanya is still mad about. But Tanya says being there would be awkward, and what was said was an attack on Paul. She also says it’s very ballsy for Kenya to expect Paul to be there after bringing the Cookie Lady around. In a green screen interview, Kenya says it’s not a good look for Tanya if she doesn’t want Paul to attend the event.

Todd and Kandi can’t agree on business moves.

Kandi is prepping to audition for a role on “The Chi.” It’s her dream to get more serious about acting. In the middle of her rehearsal, Carmon walks in. Kandi is nervous about the role because she will have to take off her clothes for a sex scene.

She’s also worried because her surrogate will give birth soon. And she’s been clashing with Todd about taking on new businesses.

Kenya and Cynthia discuss their relationships.

Cynthia recaps her recent argument with Mike to Kenya. She’s nervous to go to therapy with Mike. Kenya says that she still doesn’t understand Marc’s triggers, so she avoids him to prevent arguments. She wants Cynthia to do a proper assessment of who Mike really is before she marries him.

Kenya then tells Cynthia that Marc doesn’t think he’s ever done anything wrong. And he’s only apologized to her once even though they have been together for three years. She won’t rule out that Marc could be cheating on her. At this point, she knows they need to fix things. But she’s not so sure Marc wants to.

Wendy gives NeNe advice.

While NeNe is packing her bags to travel to New York to be on Wendy Williams’ show, she calls Wendy. She tells Wendy that she’s worried about going to Greece when she’s been clashing with Kenya. NeNe worries that she’s going to say something that crosses the line during the heat of the moment.

Wendy says she likes Kenya, but NeNe needs to sit back and let Kenya bury herself.

In a green screen interview, NeNe says she’s over the beef with Kenya. She’s ready to move on. And Wendy tells NeNe to be kind to everyone in Greece.

Marc makes a change.

When Kenya shows Marc the clothes and accessories she bought him that he can wear to the charity event, he’s not pleased. He only likes the socks. Plus, he’s not fond of the dress Kenya picked out for herself. In a green screen interview, Kenya says she doesn’t mind the submissive role as long as she’s appreciated.

Kenya gets irritated when Marc says that he changed the seating chart so Kenya will be sitting with the other housewives. She thinks this is going to lead to drama at the event. But Marc refuses to budge.

Tanya makes her choice.

It’s the day of Marc’s charity event. Kenya is annoyed Marc doesn’t tell her she looks beautiful when he sees her.

Tanya shows up without Paul. In a green screen interview, Tanya says she didn’t even tell Paul about the event because there was no need for him to be around Kenya. When Tanya sits next to Porsha in Shamea’s seat since Shamea isn’t attending, Kenya tells Tanya she has to sit in her assigned seat because another couple will be sitting there. In a green screen interview, Porsha says it just seems as if Kenya is picking on Tanya.

Marlo walks in with her nephews since the event is about raising funds for young black men. While Marc is speaking, Kenya tells Marlo that she will be sitting in the back. This confuses her.

Kenya gets snubbed.

Marc makes a speech without thanking Kenya for her help and this doesn’t sit well with Kenya and Cynthia. However, Mike thanks Kenya and Marc at the beginning of his speech. In a green screen interview, Cynthia says this is one of the reasons why she loves Mike.

While Eva’s husband Michael is speaking, Marlo is greeted by Porsha, Eva, and Cynthia. They find out where she’s sitting and tell her to sit behind them. Not too long after, NeNe and Gregg arrive.

Gregg gets on the stage to speak. In a green screen interview, NeNe says that Kenya won’t respect how much she had to sacrifice to come there right after she made it back from New York.

Marc sides with Marlo.

Marlo talks to Marc and asks if she has a table. He tells her to sit at NeNe’s table.

Kenya tells Cynthia and Eva that Marlo is being classless. And she should be thankful she even got an invitation and two extra seats for her nephews. In a green screen interview, Cynthia says Kenya needs to be taking her anger out on Marc, not Marlo.

Kenya then goes to Kandi to vent about Marlo and complains that Marlo didn’t even pay the $250 per seat fee. She feels Marlo is nasty. But Marc then tells her that he loves that Marlo brought her nephews. And he’s not going to entertain Kenya’s complaints about where Marlo sat.

In a green screen interview, Kenya says it would be nice if Marc took her side at least once.

Marc goes off.

While Marc is talking to the cohost of the event, she asks him if he’s enjoying the ride of being married. He says he hates it. Marc doesn’t even go to Kenya when she calls for him to walk over because he feels the security guard is hovering too much. In a green screen interview, NeNe says she’s never seen Kenya and Marc be lovey-dovey. They act like they have an agreement.

After Marc says he doesn’t feel like the drama, Kenya gets emotional in her green screen interview. It hurts to see the other couples happy and she misses when they were in a better place.

Marc gets irritated with the cameras and tells the show’s camera crew to stop filming. He storms off and says that they won’t see him again. The next day it’s announced that Kenya and Marc are separating.
