On the latest episode of “Belle Collective,” the fallout from Selena’s birthday party continues to strain the group. As Kerri organizes a trip to the coast and surprises the women with a therapy session she calls “Kerrapy,” tensions between Lateshia and Latrice lead to tears. Meanwhile, Tambra receives alarming news about her father’s health.

Here’s the recap for, “Group Kerrapy”.

Lateshia calls Glen after their disagreement.

Lateshia calls Glen after he walks out during their earlier disagreement. She tells him she felt disrespected when he left before she could finish explaining herself. Lateshia says his reaction made her feel like he does not want her and tells him that if that is the case, he should say it so she can move on.

As the conversation continues, Lateshia explains that she has been trying to communicate how she feels but believes Glen does not listen to her. She reminds him that she previously told him she sometimes feels like a “check” instead of a partner and says she wanted him to spend more time with her and be more involved in her business.

Lateshia also addresses Glen’s reaction to her decision to be celibate, saying she did not expect him to respond the way he did. She explains that she mentioned celibacy as a way to bring them closer, not to cut him off completely. The call leaves her emotional as she questions what their future looks like if they cannot have a calm conversation.

Kerri talks with Matt about the fallout from Selena’s birthday party.

Kerri sits down with her husband Matt and tells him that Selena’s birthday party turned into chaos. She explains that the tension between the women escalated after Selena invited everyone outside to talk, but the conversation quickly spiraled when Lateshia began sharing her final thoughts. Kerri says harsh words were exchanged and the situation intensified between Lateshia and Latrice.

While reflecting on the moment, Kerri says she felt uncomfortable watching everything unfold in public. She acknowledges that Glen stepped in to defend his wife but believes he could have managed his emotions differently during the argument. Kerri also tells Matt she is glad Cliff was not present because his involvement might have turned the conflict into a larger issue between both couples.

After hearing Kerri describe the situation, Matt suggests that Glen and Cliff should sit down together to talk through what happened. He believes that if the men can come to an understanding, it could help calm tensions between their wives. Inspired by the idea, Kerri says she plans to bring the women together herself and hopes to create a setting where Lateshia and Latrice can eventually work through their issues.

Kerri gathers the women to discuss Lateshia and Latrice.

Kerri meets with Selena, Tambra, and Marie for lunch and brings up the tension between Lateshia and Latrice after the argument at Selena’s birthday party. She tells the women she was upset watching the conflict unfold and says the situation has created a major divide within the group. Kerri also explains that she purposely did not invite Lateshia or Latrice to this lunch because she wants to talk to the others first.

During the conversation, the women reflect on how close Lateshia and Latrice once were. Kerri says their relationship always seemed more like a sisterhood than a regular friendship, which makes the fallout even harder to watch. The group agrees that the tension has grown so intense that it now feels like the collective is being split into sides.

Kerri then reveals that she plans to host a group retreat she calls “Kerrapy.” She describes it as a self-care and sisterhood experience meant to help the women reconnect and work through their issues. While some of the women question whether it is too soon to bring everyone together again, Kerri says she still believes the group can come back together if they are willing to talk things out.

Lateshia and Selena discuss the tension in the group.

Lateshia meets with Selena after the fallout from Selena’s birthday party. Selena tells her she is glad Lateshia enjoyed the celebration but hates how the night ended with another argument between her and Latrice. She explains that she never wants either woman to feel like she has to choose sides when it comes to their friendship.

Selena says both women have always treated her well and that she wants them both present for her events, despite the issues between them. However, she admits the ongoing conflict is becoming exhausting for the group. Selena says the constant tension between Lateshia and Latrice has started to take a toll on the collective.

During the conversation, Selena asks Lateshia if she plans to attend Kerri’s upcoming trip to the coast. Lateshia says she is still undecided and needs time to think about it. Selena encourages her to come, noting that the women will not be traveling together, which could help avoid another confrontation.

Matt meets with Cliff to talk about the tension between Glen and Latrice.

Matt meets up with Cliff to discuss the fallout from Selena’s birthday party and the growing tension between Glen and Latrice. He explains that he previously tried to arrange a conversation between Glen and Cliff but says Cliff was not ready to meet with him at the time. Matt tells Cliff he hopes they can find a way to repair the friendship between the two men.

Cliff shares his perspective on what happened at the party and says the situation escalated when Glen stepped into the argument involving the women. He tells Matt that he believes Glen crossed a line and says that, as a man, he cannot accept someone approaching his wife that way. Cliff adds that he felt Glen should have stepped away from the situation instead of getting involved.

During their conversation, Matt suggests that Glen may need to apologize if the two men are going to move forward. Cliff says he is not ready to speak with Glen right now but acknowledges that things might change with time. Matt leaves the conversation believing there may still be a chance for the men to sit down in the future and work through the conflict.

Tambra learns her father may have suffered a stroke.

Tambra receives a phone call while preparing to head to the coast and quickly realizes something is wrong. During the call, she is told that her father may have suffered a stroke. Shocked by the news, Tambra repeatedly asks what happened as she tries to understand the situation.

As the call continues, Tambra becomes emotional while thinking about her father and her family. She says people often call her a “daddy’s girl” and explains that hearing her voice could be important for him while he is in the hospital. Tambra expresses how much she loves her father and hopes he will recover.

The sudden news immediately changes her plans. Tambra says the trip to the coast and Kerri’s planned “Kerrapy” retreat will have to wait because getting back to her father is the only thing that matters to her right now.

Kerri surprises the group with a therapy session.

Kerri gathers the women on the coast and encourages them to relax and focus on enjoying time together. She tells the group she hopes they can remember why they came together in the first place and spend time laughing and reconnecting. Kerri says that like any family, the collective has experienced ups and downs, but she believes time and conversation can help the group move forward.

While the women talk, Lateshia admits she does not believe her relationship with Latrice can return to what it once was. She explains that they both feel strongly about their positions but says she can still remain cordial for the sake of the group. The conversation shifts to whether the women can find a way to communicate better and avoid repeating the same conflicts.

The gathering takes a turn when Kerri reveals she has invited a relationship expert to join them. She introduces the guest to the group and explains that she wants the women to have guidance as they discuss their issues and work on improving their friendships.

Lateshia and Latrice confront their issues during the therapy session.

During the session, the facilitator asks Lateshia if she still considers Latrice her friend. Lateshia says she does not believe they are in a place where she can give that relationship her energy right now. Latrice responds that she does not consider Lateshia her friend either and says she believes Lateshia was never truly her friend.

As the discussion continues, the two women begin arguing over past accusations and misunderstandings. Latrice brings up claims that Lateshia contacted former employees who were upset with her, while Lateshia denies the allegation and says she heard the information directly from someone else. Their back-and-forth quickly becomes heated, prompting the facilitator to step in and remind them that the way they are speaking to each other is affecting the entire group.

The conversation becomes emotional when Lateshia explains that she feels Latrice often tears her down during disagreements. She says the comments about her marriage struggles and her efforts to become financially independent have been painful. Both women begin crying as the facilitator encourages them to acknowledge the hurt between them and suggests they eventually have a private conversation to address the issues directly.
