Lateshia and Latrice sit down, and Selena explains why JJ isn’t talking to their daughters.
In this first scene from the latest “Belle Collective,” Lateshia sits with Latrice. During last week’s episode, both ladies attended Aikisha’s “Collective Correction” sit-down and decided to have a one-on-one to discuss their grievances. Lateshia felt slighted by Latrice’s comments about calling her and the other ladies “co-workers” on a public platform. In her green screen, Latrice calls Lateshia’s feelings “a front” and claims Lateshia feels the same way.
Next, Lateshia takes responsibility for the confrontation they had during last season’s reunion taping. Lateshia and Latrice will work on their friendship. However, Latrice doesn’t trust her, so she’s going to see how things go.

Next, Selena is at her home with her fiancé, Mike. They’re talking about wedding planning and the drama with the family. Selena doesn’t have a date for their wedding, but she promises Mike that she will set one soon.
Selena tells Mike that JJ is no longer talking to their daughters. JJ is doing this because of Selena and her daughters’ issues with his wife, SoGucci, as a result of Selena’s altercation with SoGucci. He wants their daughters to mend their relationship with SoGucci before he talks to them. Selena doesn’t like JJ cutting off their daughters, and Mike says he wouldn’t do what JJ did.

Aikisha talks about dealing with Menopause.
Meanwhile, Willie is back home from his work trip with Aikisha. They laugh over the gifts JJ and SoGucci gave them, acknowledging the recent lack of physical intimacy in the bedroom. The gifts were paddles and blindfolds in one box and a “c**chie in a box” for Willie in another. It comes out that Aikisha is now postmenopausal. Aikisha says in her green screen that physical pleasure is important to Willie. Willie, meanwhile, says he wasn’t the most understanding of what was happening despite supporting her. Aikisha expresses frustration with Willie, who is always joking about this. But Willie then brings up her mood swings, saying, “Your range of emotions is aggressive.”
After this talk, Aikisha tells Willie about another get-together with the group. Willie knows there could be tension with the ladies and hopes things go well. Ultimately, Aikisha tells Willie to take the kids and prepare them for their outing.

Eventually, the ladies show up at the park for the outing. Latrice turns heads when she has Selena, not Cliff, as her plus one. Latrice says Cliff didn’t show up because she doesn’t like any of them. Aikisha and the other ladies joke about Latrice coming to the park in heels and a leather dress. Selena greets everyone, and Marie says she has a good relationship with Selena despite her issue with Latrice.
Marie and Latrice don’t talk, as their issues and altercation at the reunion are still fresh in their minds.

Later, Lateshia tries to get Latrice and Marie to talk and move forward. Lateshia pleads with them both to make peace. She wants them to remember why they started the Collective. However, neither Latrice nor Marie respond to Lateshia’s plea. When Lateshia walks off, Marie checks on her, and Aikisha asks Latrice if their responses mean she and Marie will squash their beef. Latrice says, “h*** no.”
The episode ends with Lateshia crying, calling the ladies selfish.

JJ is foolish.
Wrong S word…more like SILLY.
J.J has that bun too tight on his head.
JJ can not make those grown get along. He should stay off the girls relationship with SoGucci, if he isn’t trying to improve it not take sides. Leteashia should have tried to calm that situation down years ago. Why would anyone want to keep dealing with Marie’s crap?
