LaTisha and Melody clash during the girls’ trip.
It’s time for the girls’ trip and Destiny greets Kimmi and Melody at their compound for the weekend. LaTisha is late and they’ll see her later in the evening. Eventually, LaTisha shows up. LaTisha says it’s kind of a weird vibe to see them having a good time without her.
Eventually, Destiny sets up a game of Twister as an ice breaker and LaTisha wants to change outfits, which irritates Melody.

This pleasantly surprises Melody, who feels their time is in good hands. Kimmi and LaTisha are confused about this experience.
Their talk begins with the ladies speaking about their intentions with this conversation. Melody’s intention is to remove the lack of trust and replace it with trust between all of them. Meanwhile, LaTisha is open to whatever path they’ll take. During their talk, they open up about their parents and Kimmi continues to feel hopeful about this process. As they continue their talk, the positive feelings flow.
Things get tense when Kimmi and Melody address their disagreements. In their latest exercise, Melody hands LaTisha a card that says “Misunderstood.” She explains how their disagreements began with a perceived misunderstanding. LaTisha says she feels Melody’s explanation feels like “bulls***.”

Destiny tries to speak up but it’s of no avail. Melody gets up and leaves, saying that no progress will be made because LaTisha refuses to move forward.
