Evelyn has Lavon help her plan her pop-up shop event for her new bodysuit line. She’s taken aback when one of the people showing her a venue asks when the wedding will take place. In a green screen interview, Evelyn says the question was likely asked because Lavon said she was his fiancee. In reality, their wedding is up in the air.

While Jackie is at the gym, his daughter Chantel FaceTimes her so they can catch up. She confirms she is newly engaged and Jackie is surprised. She hasn’t met Chantel’s boo just yet. He plays for the Knicks. Jackie is even more focused on meeting her weight loss goal so she will be ready for the wedding.

Christian confronts Vanessa.

Jennifer tells Evelyn and Jackie that the Christian will confront Vanessa at the popup shop. He believes he will make it so she won’t mention him ever again. While Evelyn understands Christian wants to set the record straight, she doesn’t think she’d be okay with her man confronting another woman about anything. She would prefer to do it herself to keep things from escalating.

Brooke and her estranged husband Stephen go on a romantic kayaking date. He wants them to get married again. But Brooke wants to make sure that the progress they made isn’t just trauma bonding since they have both lost children. Regardless, Stephen feels it was his responsibility to be there for Brooke since they are still family. Brooke is excited to see what the future holds for them.

It’s the day of the popup shop event. Evelyn wonders where Brittany is. She hasn’t heard from her despite being sent an invitation.

When Vanessa arrives, she can sense tension with Jennifer, which surprises her because she thought they were moving past the Christian issue. Christian asks her if they can speak. He tells her that he does have three children. However, he doesn’t have custody of his oldest because the child’s grandparents made him sign his rights away. After all, he was young and irresponsible at the time.

Christian also says he did spend time in prison and wrote a “best-selling” book about the experience. So he has nothing to hide, and he’s told Jennifer everything.

Vanessa says her intention was not to be messy. She just wanted to look out for Jennifer. But she apologizes, and Christian says they are good.

In a green screen interview, Jennifer says she is proud of how Christian handled the situation.

Brittany walks away from the show.

Lavon surprises Evelyn with flowers to celebrate the event, and she has a lukewarm reaction. She says she didn’t hug him or kiss him because she doesn’t believe in PDA. Jackie thinks Lavon will have to be more passionate if he makes Evelyn change her mind about marriage.

Although Evelyn is disappointed that things aren’t clicking with Lavon, she is happy that Jennifer apologized to Shanice at the event. Now, everyone can finally move forward.

Chantel stops by to share more details about her engagement. She confirms she’s been with her fiancé for 3 years.

  1. I don’t blame Britney. How can producers put a young generation of females in with a much older group. You either are going to feel out of place or you’re just going to want to not be around by what you are experiencing with who you are around.

  2. Brittany and her bad wigs actually seem like good people LBVS. I admire the fact that she is able to identify toxic situations and remove herself from them! Most people cannot do that. I also really like the fact that the check was not worth her dignity

  3. I feel it was inappropriate for Jennifer’s boy toy to confront Vanessa. Jennifer had already shared with her how she felt about her snooping. There is something about him that if he can so easily step to a woman, I can imagine how he will eventually talk to Jennifer. Just observing…

    1. I agree with you. Vanessa, husband needs to check him if he was there it would have been so different. Evelyn, and the other ladies on the show, should be ASHAMED of themselves, to allowed a man to approach a married woman. Shaunie, the Executive Producer of the show, should be ashamed as well, her husband wouldn’t have allowed another man approached his wife.

  4. Brittany knew the dynamics of this show before she signed on the dotted line. It’s best that she takes this time to deal with those seven demons and get her meds adjusted. She’s literally spiraling out of control. Mental health is serious and she needs help! #BasketballWives
