On the latest episode of “Belle Collective,” the women continue discussing the group tensions after the therapy session at Kerri’s house. Latrice receives difficult health news during a doctor’s visit, while Kerri faces the possibility of selling her restaurant. Meanwhile, Lateshia’s talk show photo shoot is disrupted when Glen confronts her manager.

Here are the highlights for “Table for Two, Drama for Ten.”

The ladies continue their discussion with the relationship expert.

The episode begins with the women continuing their conversation with the relationship expert following the group session at Kerri’s home. The focus of the discussion remains on the tension between Latrice and Lateshia.

During the conversation, the expert suggests that Latrice and Lateshia should try speaking privately without the rest of the group present. The idea is that removing the audience may allow them to address their issues more directly.

The suggestion leads to the possibility of the two women eventually sitting down one-on-one.

Kerri and Matt discuss their next steps professionally.

Kerri later meets with Matt and talks about the group tension and the impact it has had on everyone. She says the situation between Latrice and Lateshia has created a difficult dynamic for the collective.

She also mentions that the life coach suggested Latrice and Lateshia have a private conversation. Kerri says she hopes the idea works, but she is unsure if the two of them can have a calm discussion.

Matt then shares that he has been considering leaving his current position to start his own sports agency. He says he wants to build something of his own and help young baseball players create opportunities for themselves. Kerri says she believes in Matt but admits she is nervous about the timing of such a big career move.

Latrice learns she needs surgery.

Latrice visits her doctor after the recent blood clot scare and explains that doctors discovered her fibroids have returned. During the appointment, she learns she will need surgery to remove them.

She says hearing that she has to go through another procedure is frustrating because she hoped the problem would not return.

After the appointment, Latrice says everything else appears to be fine medically, but doctors still do not know what caused the blood clots. She also mentions the therapist’s suggestion that she meet with Lateshia privately to discuss their issues.

Glen confronts First at Lateshia’s photo shoot.

While preparing for the promotional photo shoot for her talk show, Lateshia is surprised when Glen suddenly shows up, even though he was not invited. Glen explains that he invited himself after seeing the location and says he wanted to support her.

However, the moment quickly shifts when Glen begins questioning why he is not included in the business side of the show. He tells First that he should be involved in communications about the project, saying, “I should be involved in the business emails. I should be CC’d on phone calls… I’m asking to be CC’d on all emails because I’m a man of my household.”

The exchange escalates as First pushes back. Lateshia watches the situation spiral and says she cannot believe what is happening at an event that was supposed to focus on her new venture. She says, “I cannot believe my manager and my husband over here about to fight at my photo shoot. This has turned into a disaster.”

At one point, Glen threatens the situation could turn physical, telling First, “Keep playing with First, I’ll beat the brakes off you out here.”

After things cool down, Lateshia makes it clear that what happened cannot happen again. She says Glen’s actions ruined a moment that was meant to celebrate her talk show and adds that boundaries will need to be set moving forward so her husband and her team are not clashing during her business events.

Latrice opens up to Selena about her upcoming surgery.

Latrice later meets with Selena and says she has been thinking about the therapist’s suggestion that she speak with Lateshia privately.

She admits she is hesitant because previous conversations between them have not resolved their issues. However, she says the idea is still something she is considering.

During the conversation, Selena reflects on her own health challenges and shares that she previously suffered a stroke and seizures. She explains that she had to relearn how to walk and speak during her recovery.

Hearing Selena’s story makes Latrice reflect on how quickly life can change. By the end of the conversation, she says she is willing to meet with Lateshia and attempt to resolve their issues.

Kerri discusses selling Brick and Spoon Mobile.

Kerri later meets with Brittany to discuss the future of the Brick and Spoon Mobile location. She explains that the restaurant has been financially draining and says she has been using money from her influencer work to keep the business running.

Brittany tells her the location likely will not survive unless someone can step in to manage it full-time and absorb the payroll.

The conversation becomes emotional as Kerri reflects on the time and work they put into the restaurant. In the end, they decide to put the location on the market. If it does not sell, they acknowledge they may have to close it.

Lateshia and Latrice talk things out.

Lastly, Lateshia and Latrice eventually meet one-on-one to address their issues. Lateshia says the last time they were in a good place was when they felt closer than ever before.

Latrice apologizes for the moment that caused tension between them. Lateshia accepts the apology and says they need to figure out what moving forward will look like.

They decide to start by naming one issue each that they want to leave in the past. Latrice asks Lateshia to stop repeating the claim that she contacted her employees, saying that the accusation is not true.

In return, Lateshia says she wants to move past the Amanda situation and the issue involving Glen’s direct messages.

Latrice opens up to Lateshia about the surgery and Lateshia vents about Glen confronting her manager.

The two women continue their discussion and update each other on what has been happening in their lives. Lateshia tells Latrice about the blood clots she recently experienced and says the health scare was serious.

She also shares what happened during her talk show photo shoot, explaining how Glen and First ended up arguing after Glen demanded to be included in business communications.

Despite the tension, both women say the collective’s purpose is bigger than their disagreements. They discuss hosting an event together to bring the group back together, and say their conversation is the first step toward repairing the sisterhood.
