On the mid-season premiere of “Love & Marriage: Huntsville,” Ken and Tricia’s latest blowup pushes Tricia to consider therapy. Destiny goes on a date with Twan, Nell’s godson, while Nell and Chris learn that Martell and Marsau have finally resolved their issues.
Here’s the recap for “Ken We Fix It?”
Latricia speaks to Xavier about the tension.
In the first highlight, Latricia checks in with her son, Xavier, to see how he’s been handling the recent chaos involving her, Ken, and his father, Marques. Xavier tells her he has been trying to distract himself so he doesn’t slip into sadness about the arguments.
He admits that hearing hurtful comments exchanged between people he loves has been difficult. Xavier says he doesn’t like negative words directed at Latricia or his father, and the back-and-forth between her and Ken has been weighing on him. He also reveals there were times he felt he couldn’t talk to her.
Xavier believes better communication is needed and adds that Ken has been struggling as well. He tries to reassure Ken when they speak and encourages him to stay positive.
Latricia becomes emotional as she realizes how much the conflict has affected her son. She says she wants to repair the family dynamic they once had and decides it’s time for her and Ken to have a real conversation. She tells Xavier she plans to do everything she can to get their household back on track.

Destiny meets with Nell’s godson, Twan.
Destiny sits down with Twan to discuss business and the possibility of him serving as her security at future events. She explains that recent situations have made her reconsider having someone present for protection, and she felt Twan handled himself professionally the last time he worked with her.
Their conversation shifts when Twan brings up the moment others claimed Destiny was making “googly eyes” at him. He says he didn’t see it that way, but admits he may have been smiling because he finds her beautiful. Destiny tells him she wasn’t making eyes at him, but she also isn’t blind to the fact that he’s attractive.
Destiny then shares that she heard Tricia believed Twan asked about her. Twan says he doesn’t remember talking to Tricia, but he may have said something in passing. Destiny explains she told Lance that if Twan was interested, she might be open to seeing where things go — but she didn’t know at the time that Lance is Twan’s godbrother. Twan says he already had a conversation with Lance about it.
The mood shifts again when Twan reveals that Nell questioned him about whether he and Destiny had slept together. Destiny calls Nell “out of line” and says Nell needs to stop worrying about people’s sex lives.
Destiny makes it clear she builds friendships first and dates multiple people when she’s single, which doesn’t mean intimacy is involved. Twan says that doesn’t bother him, and he cares more about getting to know someone.
As they continue talking, both acknowledge they enjoy each other’s company. Twan says Destiny seems cool outside of the professional setting, and he compliments her appearance. Destiny laughs about repeatedly getting his name wrong, saying that for a long time he was simply “the bodyguard.”

Ken and Latricia discuss their issues after Xavier expressed his concerns.
After speaking with Xavier, Latricia sits down with Ken to address their most recent argument. She tells him they need clarity on where things went wrong. Ken agrees and says the last few days have been stressful for him.
Latricia acknowledges that she has built up a wall, and Ken responds that while they often discuss the issues in their relationship, real changes never happen. He says problems linger for months at a time, and he feels he has no control. Ken admits he has thought about leaving because the stress has become overwhelming.
He explains that it feels like everyone else’s feelings are prioritized over his. Ken says when he’s upset, he still shows love to Latricia and the kids. But when Latricia is angry or frustrated, he feels the household shuts him out. He adds that many of her reactions stem from things that have nothing to do with him.
Latricia pushes back, saying he sometimes misreads her silence as a sign of attitude. Ken says the bigger issue is the moments when her anger escalates and she snaps at people. He believes they need better emotional control so negative thoughts don’t lead to mistreatment.
When Ken asks what comes next, he says that many of their conflicts stem from trauma he has no part in. Latricia opens up about losing multiple family members in a short period of time — including her mother, father, and sister. She says the grief made her disappear emotionally, and she struggled to cope.
Ken says he understands what she has been through, but without proper therapy, their relationship won’t improve. He tells her that change has to start with her taking the lead on getting help. Ken makes it clear that he can’t continue another six months without action.

Latricia meets with Dr. Francis.
Latricia meets with Dr. Francis to address the anger she has been carrying. She tells him her grief often turns into anger, and when he asks what she does with that anger, she explains that she redirects it at the gym. She works out every day and uses the physical exertion to cope.
Dr. Francis asks what happens once she leaves the gym, and Latricia says the anger sometimes returns when she gets home. He tells her that while the gym lets her act out her bitterness in a safe space, the pain remains because it hasn’t been processed.
He explains the difference between an angry person and an angry soul, and urges her to consider why her anger is rooted so deeply. As they talk, Latricia becomes emotional while describing how life has felt heavy. Dr. Francis tells her that strength also includes acknowledging her weaknesses and allowing others to help.
Latricia admits she thought her ex, Marques, would be her emotional “spotter,” but the support she expected wasn’t there. As a result, she stopped letting people get close. She says forming attachments is hard because losing people has caused her significant pain.
Dr. Francis encourages her to learn to trust herself and the people she is emotionally connected to. He tells her that accepting support from Ken and her family may help her break the cycle of anger. Latricia acknowledges she is used to helping others and not receiving help in return, and that leaning on people is still difficult for her.
