On the latest episode of “Basketball Wives,” Christian confronts Brandi at the Vegas wedding. Plus, tension continues to worsen between Chantel and Brandi.
Here are the highlights for, “Magic, Mess, & Matrimony.”
Jennifer makes a quick appearance.
The episode begins with the person at the door’s identity being revealed. It’s not Jennifer, instead, it’s a magician Brandi hired to surprise Evelyn for her birthday. She figured they couldn’t take a trip to Vegas without enjoying a magic show. At some point of the magician’s set, Shaunie pops out, completely surprising Evelyn.

Jennifer lets Jackie and Brandi know she’ll meet them outside of the vacation house soon. When she arrives, she tells them she doesn’t want to come in. She stopped by to speak to them. Jennifer only has a problem with Evelyn but she isn’t the one with the “drama.” Evelyn created the issue.
She invites Ming, Ty, Shaunie, Brandi, and Jackie to her Vegas wedding before leaving.

The others are annoyed by Brandi.
Brandi and Jackie go back inside to tell the others about Jen’s quick visit. Shaunie has no interest in attending Jennifer’s second wedding. She didn’t attend the first one in Paris either despite being invited. Shaunie doesn’t understand why Jennifer keeps coming around the group to defend Christian.
Chantel doesn’t understand why Brandi invited Jennifer to the house when the true point of the trip was to celebrate Evelyn’s birthday. Brandi acknowledges that it wasn’t the best idea but it shouldn’t be hard for the others to move on.
Pancakes aren’t able to fix the tension in the house the next morning. Evelyn asks Brandi how she slept. Brandi answers she “slept like a baby” and she’s over the drama. During a confessional, Brittany says Brandi plays too much and no one else wants to play the game she is playing. So she’s not a fan of Brandi’s energy.
Evelyn questions if everything is good between Chantel and Brandi. Brandi answers she is fine because she said everything she needed to the previous day. So she has moved on. In response, Chantel says that the person who starts the drama is usually the first to move on.
Christian has some words for Brandi.
Brittany announces they are taking Evelyn to Adrenaline Mountain so she can actually have fun. Jackie, Ty, and Brandi will be going to Jennifer’s wedding instead.
Chantel and Jackie later have a conversation about Brandi. Jackie questions if Chantel is okay with Brandi. She still doesn’t care for Brandi and feels she has been messy with her trip planning. Chantel tells Jackie not to meddle because she has no desire to hash things out with Brandi.

Jackie, Ming, Ty, and Brandi head to Jennifer’s wedding. They notice the place is on the dusty side and are surprised that Jennifer would go along with this since she’s bougie. When Christian’s aunt arrives, she talks trash about Evelyn. She wants to fight and has asked Evelyn to send her location. And she heard things about Evelyn’s lady parts. So she should call a gynecologist.

Christian confronts Brandi not too long after he arrives. He tells her he shouldn’t be talked about and Jennifer told him she buys into the things Evelyn said about him. Brandi tells Christian she thinks it is inappropriate to talk about this at their wedding. During a green screen interview, Brandi says it seems like Christian and his family are fine with being inappropriate. But she refuses to get into a conflict with him on his wedding day.
She confirms to Christian she has concerns for Jennifer due to his legal issues. But she already told Jennifer she would stay out of it so this is a dead issue. They hug it out.

Evelyn learns about what was said at the wedding.
Back at Adrenaline Mountain, Evelyn chats with Brittany and Shaunie by the bonfire. Evelyn says Jackie acts well-behaved when Chantel is around. She wonders if Jackie respects Chantel’s boundaries because she didn’t have time to be around much when she was younger. Brittany questions if Jackie respects those boundaries due to guilt.

The group goes to dinner. Jackie and the others recap Jennifer’s second wedding. Evelyn becomes upset when they repeat what Christian’s aunt said about her v*gina. She calls Ty, Jackie, Brandi, and Ming out for not defending her. She then alleges that Jennifer was the one who was hospitalized for a yeast infection.
Brandi says they were caught off guard and at a wedding, so they didn’t know how to respond. Brittany and Evelyn think this is a silly excuse.
Jackie apologizes for not defending Evelyn and tells her that her feelings are valid. She just wanted Evelyn to know what was said.
Brandi and Chantel clash, again.
During a green screen interview, Evelyn says this birthday trip made her sit back and see how everyone moves.
Jackie believes they need to address the tension. Shaunie feels like Brandi has been giving off stank energy. Chantel agrees and Brandi immediately checks her. She tells Chantel to cut it out and to stay in a child’s place.
The episode ends on a cliffhanger before Chantel responds.

What are your thoughts on the episode?
I am loving this season of BBW! Yes, same shady characters, same botox-filled energy, but still it’s different and a good different. Shauni looks great! Why does everything in Vegas look tacky? That wedding was hilarious! Christian looked good though. 😍 But, why were the flowers dusty? 😳😩 That must have been extra. Come on Jen! I’m just waiting for someone to check Brandi in! She’s had it coming for a minute!
Chantel may be the most annoying person to ever be on this platform.
@Queen Not the Queen shading Chantel! 🤣 You do know who her Mum is, right? Just based on that, my girl Channie should get a pass. Cheers!
Christian’s “aunt” and uncle must be in on the alleged scamming then because he literally has other relatives suing him for fraud. Nobody is picking on him. I am so tired of this community enabling and defending criminals.
Man this show is about who can tag team who. Like a female said where’s the sister hood. Then when whomever gets bullied by whomever they want to leave. Crazy if you ask me
@Tiffani Young Sounds like a typical day in my circle.
Evelyn…fight for those that fight for you…
