The Potomac ladies are back — and baby, the shade is racing faster than the horses at Preakness.
We start off in the limo truck, and Stacy and Kay are bickering like it’s the pre-show warm-up for Freaknik. Every time they say “Preakness,” I keep thinking “Freaknik” too, chile. Kay gives the girls some cash to place bets, but Stacy keeps it real — she pockets her $20 because she wasn’t about to waste it on no horse tutorial. Period.
Meanwhile, Gizelle and Wendy finally sit down. Wendy gives her signature “professor” shade, telling Gizelle to give her name to Angel — because she’ll “speak on her for seven minutes.” That’s shade with a syllabus. Gizelle brings up Angel’s college background, and Wendy lowkey hints that Angel didn’t actually graduate. Now why she had to sprinkle a little academic mess like that?
Later, the girls hit the bar and Ashley gets flirted with. Stacy asks about her situationship, and Ashley says she’s single-single. Then Stacy asks Gizelle if she’s dating — she says no, but last episode Stacy told Jazzi she was in a whole relationship. So which one is it, Miss Bryant? 👀 Angel tries to hook Gizelle up with a “bald and chocolate” man — now that’s matchmaking we can get behind.
Ashley then decides to confront Tia about calling her “rude.” Tia explains it was “tongue and cheek,” but forehead—sorry, Ashley—wasn’t having it. Tia breaks down the meaning, and when Ashley tries to tussle, Tia shuts it down quick with a classy “keep up.” And for that, Tia has officially entered her Housewife Era.
Then comes Jazzi, who pops in with good news — therapy’s going well and wedding plans are moving forward. Angel brags that her man was a “10-year starter,” and Wendy had to clock that shade real quick.
Things take a left turn when Kay brings up that Wendy told her Jazzi had issues with her. Jazzi denies it, and the confusion spirals into a full-blown word war. Jazzi accuses Wendy of being messy, Kay calls out Jazzi’s relationship, and before you know it, we’re hitting below the belt. Jazzi tells Kay she’s bitter over her “little condo,” and Kay claps back with, “You’re marrying a man who had two kids on you.” Whew — that’s not shade, that’s solar eclipse energy.
Despite the chaos, Gizelle still invites everyone (including Jazzi) on a yacht trip. Angel claims she wants to get to know the group better — but the energy on that boat is giving “Tampa reunion,” not team-building. Customs even confiscates Angel’s camo bag, and Tia ends up saving the day with an extra one.
Now, here’s where it gets juicier. Gizelle tries to act like she doesn’t remember Angel saying Jazzi shouldn’t come on the trip. Angel backpedals faster than a Housewives husband caught in DMs. Kay admits she didn’t want Jazzi there because she didn’t want to “be fake,” and Jazzi wastes no time spinning that block — “Since we being real, tell us what you said about Wendy.” The whole thing turns into who called who a hoe, and at this point, we need a ref on the field.
Fast forward to the villas, and it’s clear Gizelle’s still being messy. Some ladies got personalized robes and notes — others (like Stacy) got nothing. Wendy calls it out, and Stacy finally flips the table back on Gizelle with a little receipts moment — she’s got proof Gizelle’s seeing a certain NFL man named Sean Spriggs. Oh, and Ashley? She’s right there backing it up with photos and tea that Stacy was once trying to get close to Chris Samuels. Whew, not the ex-Housewife crossfire.
By the end, Angel’s still denying she filters her photos (“10 toes down!”), Tia’s giving us mom-comedy gold, and Wendy and Gizelle are back at odds — because Potomac wouldn’t be Potomac without a side of fake niceties and full-blown shade.
💅🏽 Final Thought:
Between the horse bets, Photoshop denials, and yacht meltdowns, this episode gave more tension than a group chat after a birthday dinner split.
Everything’s alleged, but baby, it’s Potomac — so it’s definitely messy.
