On the latest episode of “Real Housewives of Potomac,” Ashley and Michael’s mediation fails. Meanwhile, tension grows between Mia and Gizelle. Here are the highlights for, “Mediation Nation.”
Mia and Gizelle have tension.
The episode begins from the cliffhanger of the previous episode. The cast is still enjoying Wendy’s 40th birthday party. Mia explains to the others that Gordon was not her first husband. Her oldest son was a product of her first marriage. Gordon and her ex-husband get along well. This is what she meant when she said the fathers of her children get along.
Jacqueline joins in the conversation to take up for Mia. She says Gordon is fine with Inc. being around one minute and against it the next. So it’s been confusing for Mia.
Jassi questions why Mia made it seem like Gordon and Inc. get along when they have tension. Gizelle once again points out it has been hard to keep up with the situation because Mia’s social media posts conflict with the updates she’s been giving the group. In a green screen interview, Mia says it feels like Gizelle is nitpicking. And she doesn’t like it.

Ashley and Michael couldn’t agree to a divorce settlement.
Stacey gives the ladies an update after attending divorce mediation. She admits Gizelle, Karen, and Ashley were right about some things. While Stacey thought she knew her estranged husband well, the mediation proved there were things she did not know. For example, her name had been on accounts she never knew about because she was hands-off with their finances. So it was very eye-opening.
Ashley has some news to share as well. She and Michael recently had mediation. They were not able to agree to a settlement. It turns out Michael wants Ashley to agree to sign a confidentiality agreement. Signing it would prevent Ashley from discussing Michael on the show. She can’t agree to that. So she and her attorney will have to iron out a deal that Ashley feels is fair.
During a green screen interview, Karen says Ashley would be smart to agree to be silent in exchange for spousal support.

Ashley invites the ladies to a charity event. Mia is still feeling a way about Gizelle, so she initiates a conversation in front of Karen and Wendy.
Mia starts the conversation by accusing Gizelle of trying to portray herself as being a mother to “perfect” daughters. But Gizelle told her she saw a boy on the ring camera when they traveled to the Dominican Republic. Mia says Gizelle should be authentic and stop trying to look perfect in front of the cameras. And she questions why Gizelle never posts about the not-so-innocent things her daughters have done.
Gizelle tells Mia she understands she didn’t want to be called out in front of the group. But Mia’s position regarding her daughters doesn’t make sense. During a green screen interview, Gizelle says she takes her time to process things. Then she reacts strongly. So Mia needs to get ready because she doesn’t like it when people come for her daughters. In her opinion, Mia is crashing out hard. Karen agrees. During her green screen interview, she says Mia is feeling the pressure from “juggling a pimp village.”

What are your thoughts on the episode?
Mia is going to be embarrassed at the reunion. She’s out of her league and so is Jacqueline.
Gizelle should have dragged the f-ck out of Mia’s touched a-s. She had a lot more to say when she thought Candiace and Wendy were making faces at her daughters but this sh-t here was way more disrespectful.
Quick reminder: Season 8 Gizelle had a kids in her home, her best friend as her coworker and her father. Season 9 Gizelle is an empty nester, mourning the lost of her father and trying to stay afloat at work ( RHOP) alone. So if you’re wondering about the difference in behavior and/or treatment…..you might be different too after all of that…
Good point. I’ll keep that in mind. A death of a parent can change people.
I agree on all points. Mia is trash as is Jacqueline and Ashley for that matter. They have nothing to true value to offer and never will. Children are off the table. Gizelle will undoubtedly eat Mia alive if she continues to stand on this point as would Karen and Wendy. They have all been very protective of their offsprings space in these shows. Mia didn’t get the menu and is too dim witted to realize this is a bad look for her. She comes of opportunistic and selfish. As for stupid Ashley get a real story line and keep Michael out if your mouth and those checks coming in. You will lose against him legally and don’t have the coins for a projected legal fight in this regard. You got All he ever intends to give you. Get a degree and a real job and stop scaling buildings for a story line. You’re not an after THOT to your husband now. Cut your losses and grow up.
