Dennis clashes with Porsha’s cousin Storm.
After the dinner gets messy, Lauren tries to get things back on track. Everyone is told to reveal what their intentions are for the retreat. When it is Dennis’ turn, he says Porsha’s family is broken. It’s on her to fix things because she’s the head of the family. He just wants to be in a cordial place with Simon so they can co-parent. Porsha’s cousin Storm interjects and they start arguing. He tells Storm to “shut the f*ck up” and gets up to leave the table, urging his mother Gina to follow.
Porsha gets annoyed and says Dennis is causing issues and drama.
Simon tells Porsha to give Dennis his clothes back.
Dennis ends up getting his own room after all the drama at dinner. Londie defends him and says that Storm started it all. But Lauren doesn’t feel Dennis had a right to say what he did in response. Regardless, Lauren says she can’t get her “brother-in-law” in check. Meanwhile, Dennis is texting a woman to see if she’s still coming to Mexico.
Simon tells Porsha he wants Dennis to stay on the trip so they can work on their co-parenting. So he will meet with him for breakfast the next day. He also tells Porsha to return Dennis’ things.
In a green screen interview, Porsha says the robe is hers and she’s not giving it back because he doesn’t deserve it. She wears the robe at home.
Simon tells Porsha that Gina needs to be told to “stay the f*ck out of” Porsha and Dennis’ business.
Dennis thinks Porsha should pay attention to how Simon moves. And she should be prepared.
The next day Dennis and Simon meet for breakfast. They agree they need to work on their co-parenting relationship. And Momma Gina needs to back off some. Dennis also says he wants his things back. Simon understands and says he has a professional moving company he calls when he ends his relationships.
In a green screen interview, Dennis says Porsha should pay attention to this because he heard Simon’s been married five times.
Dennis tells Simon that Porsha needs to understand that he’s ready to date and move on with his life. So Simon should let her know that he intends to have someone fly in to be with him in Mexico.
The woman arrives.
Londie tells Lauren that Dennis did officially bring a woman to Mexico and her name is Erica. She’s pretty sure Porsha is going to be livid about this.
The family goes to dive in sinkholes at a Mayan gravesite. Before they do, Lauren instructs everyone to have a quick meditation and reveal their intentions. Porsha’s Aunt Darlene says she wants a hug from her daughter Storm. When Storm hugs her, Darlene starts crying and thanking Jesus. Storm and Darlene have been open about having a fractured relationship.
Gina scores no points with Porsha.
Porsha rolls her eyes when Gina breaks down in tears and says she’s sorry for ever offending anyone. She wants forgiveness and she wants to learn how to forgive herself.
Porsha says that she’s not quite ready to forgive Gina. In a green screen interview, Porsha says the issue is she doesn’t feel like Gina really held Dennis accountable for their breakup.
Aunt Liz urges Lauren to participate in her own exercise.
Lauren says she may still be holding on to her fractured working relationship with Porsha. So she tells Porsha that she felt undervalued. In a green screen interview, Porsha says Lauren was just in a dark time in her life and she’s making her the big bad wolf.
Porsha finds out about Dennis’ guest.
Later that night, Lauren pulls Porsha aside to let her know that Dennis’ guest is now in Mexico. So he’s not attending dinner because he’s taking her out for her birthday. Porsha isn’t feeling this but she tells Lauren her real issue is with Gina. In a green screen interview, Lauren says Porsha isn’t being honest. She’s really mad Dennis brought a woman to Mexico. And Simon doesn’t need to pick up on this.
Storm opens up about being in an abusive relationship in the past. This is when Londie brings up the fact that Storm was aggressive towards her the previous night. Storm feels this was insensitive to do and Porsha backs her up, making Londie feel like Porsha always sides with Storm.
