Tia and Wendy go on double dates with their husbands, Rob and Eddie. Wendy asks if the dating app fiasco was their darkest moment. Tia nor Rob think the situation is that major since nothing came from him being on the app. After Wendy suggests that maybe Tia travels too much without Rob, Tia pushes back on this. In a confessional, Tia says that people in this group like to deflect and not focus on their own problems.
Wendy asks Rob why he feels lonely and Tia tells him they don’t have to answer any of Wendy’s questions. In a green screen interview, Wendy says she asked Rob these questions because she felt like Tia didn’t want to.
Rob says he regrets his actions because he didn’t want to embarrass Tia. But he’s confident they can work past it.
