On the latest episode of “Real Housewives of Potomac,” the ladies head to Panama and take their drama right along with them. Gizelle calls out Jacqueline and Mia, and Wendy points out the hypocrisy. Here are the highlights for, “Shake the Devil Off.”
Jacqueline is escorted out of the Love Lagoon.
Karen is not amused to see Jacqueline strolling into her Love Lagoon event. She wastes no time telling Jacqueline she must leave since she was not invited. Jacqueline says she will leave once she gives away all eight of the balloons she arrived with. She confirms each balloon represents the eight citations Karen received the night of her recent DUI arrest. Jacqueline’s antics tickle Mia and Ashley, but Karen remains focused on making sure that Jacqueline is escorted out. Ray fulfills Karen’s wishes although he would like to have nothing to do with Karen and Jacqueline’s feud. Mia walks Jacqueline back to her car. She insists Karen can’t kick anyone out of her home because it is a rental.

The ladies arrive in Panama. Wendy reveals each woman will have her own room. Ashley makes a revelation of her own. She has really taken a liking to Josh. He’s the first man she’s liked since Michael. So this is uncomfortable territory for her.

Karen says she is pressing charges against Jacqueline.
Gizelle uses dinner to confront Jacqueline for crashing the Love Lagoon. She says that Jacqueline didn’t have good intentions and proof of this is her using the balloons to represent the eight citations from Karen’s DUI arrest.
Jacqueline denies that she intended to be messy. She says the balloons were used to demonstrate that she wanted to lift the burden of the arrest from Karen’s “heart.” No one is buying this. In a green screen interview, Ashley says it’s interesting to see Gizelle call out Jacqueline for this when Gizelle herself has done similar to Karen in the past. An example is when they fake-delivered pizzas to see if Karen and Ray were living in a home they claimed they rented at the time.
Karen goes on to say that she is in the process of pressing charges against Jacqueline for trespassing.

Jacqueline apologizes to Karen for trespassing. But she maintains that she intended to relay a positive message, not take a shot.
Gizelle confronts Mia, Wendy sees hypocrisy.
Gizelle takes control of the conversation once again. She tells Mia she went too far when she brought up that Gizelle saw a boy on the Ring camera while vacationing with her daughters. Mia questions how what she said was any different than Karen and Gizelle saying she didn’t protect her children from the Inc. situation. Karen points out that their criticism was of Mia and nothing was said directly about the children.
Wendy interjects to question why Gizelle had more anger for her when she previously thought Wendy and Candiace made faces while she was talking about her daughters. Gizelle says the difference is she wasn’t in a good space with Wendy or Candiace when it happened. But she was actually on good terms with Mia. During a green screen interview, Wendy makes it clear she doesn’t buy any of what Gizelle is selling.

At the end of the episode, Mia is in distress. She tells producers that Gordon didn’t want their kids to stay with a nanny. So he picked them up but later dropped them off at their old nanny’s place. The former nanny stays four hours away from their home.
