We are in the Hamptons again. This is not a place where these women have a positive history. Demetria is doing some sort of cover shoot for a bridal magazine. The night before Demetria and Melyssa were extremely rude to Daisy while she was sharing with Geneva about her cancer. Demetria is excluding Geneva and Chantelle from everything wedding related.
Demetria just takes Melyssa to the photo shoot. It’s at a beautiful castle. Demetria’s mother and Greg are there as well. Demetria feels bad that Geneva didn’t get to go to the cover shoot. The grounds, the gown, the flowers, everything about the set is really, really pretty. Demetria is very stiff and nervous being photographed. But she eventually loosens up. I don’t like the second dress but Demetria loves it and wants to switch her real dress to this one. To each their own. I preferred the first one.
Back at the house, Chantelle apologizes to Argo and she reciprocates. A tentative truce appears to be in place there. The girls head off to an apple orchard while Demetria shoots her cover. I can’t believe how much I like Mica this season. She is making fun of the apple picking field trip. Daisy is kind of hurt that Demetria has not said anything kind to her regarding her cancer. Geneva says that Demetria just doesn’t handle emotional situations very well. Chantelle says that Geneva needs to stop sticking up for Demetria and excusing her behavior, especially now that she is uninvited from her wedding. Daisy gets emotional. She says it is hard enough to share without Demetria being so heartless toward her.
It’s time for dinner, presumably with all of the ladies. Chantelle asks Demetria where her boyfriend is. She replies with “You mean my fiancé ?” Chantelle says she feels Greg owes her an apology. Demetria immediately cops an attitude and asks why. Chantelle says she feels singled out. Chantelle was pretty loud and obnoxious at the book signing. Demetria tries blatantly ignoring here and this only escalates Chantelle. Chantelle says that Demetria is a narcissist that doesn’t give a fuck about anybody. Demetria counters by saying she doesn’t give a fuck about her. Melyssa goes in on Chantelle. All this petty shit is happening while Daisy sits there quietly Chantelle continues to come for Demetria who tell Chantelle she is reaching and her arms are too short. So Chantelle, who just got finished having to apologize to someone for crossing the line with them replies “Your waist is to big.” We left metaphorical and gone straight for the physical attribute digs. Demetria replies, “Not with that Adam’s apple, you will not. No mam. Not today.” And it’s on. Geneva is friends with both of them and asks them not say hateful things to each other. Demetria says to Chantelle, “You better be glad I am not going for your throat right now.” Geneva pulls Chantelle to the side and asks her to stop.
They get back to the house and the kitchen is a mess. No one did any dishes. While Melyssa argues with the other girls about who should do the dishes, Demetria tells Geneva she is headed back to the city because this weekend is not longer relaxing and fun to her. Well, hell. Demetria is the one who was in the middle of all of the confrontations! But now that she is done stirring the shit, she is going home to her man. How convenient. Geneva tells Demetria that Daisy was hurt by her laughing while she was sharing the night before. Demetria immediately starts screaming for Daisy to come in the room. Demetria says that Daisy should have come to her. Demetria still doesn’t seem to get it. Demetria is more worried about how she looks rather than how Daisy feels. Daisy says in her talking head that Demetria just attacked her and then stormed out. Demetria and Melyssa are clearly trying to freeze Chantelle out. Chantelle is not my favorite person in the world, but there is not reason for this much drama over the woman. It turns out making Demetria and Melyssa look worse than Chantelle.
The next morning the girls cook and clean and Daisy prays. Daisy has to leave to go to her treatment. She pulls Melyssa aside to tell her that she hurt her feelings the other night. Daisy cries in her talking heads about finding out who your real friends are when you have cancer. Clearly Melyssa is not that close to her anymore. Daisy didn’t look very well in this episode relative to the previous ones. It seems like she was in the middle of a rougher patch.
Next Week: Daisy’s father shows up for radiation and speaks to the doctor and was very upset by what he said. Later, it looked like someone, or a dog or something has died. Daisy if fine but her father is at some sort of a service with him and he breaks down.
I’m just not feeling Demetria…she’s doesn’t treat peoe nicely…it’s like you have to kiss her ass to be her friend…I think you naed it ms TT….she’s clearly very concerned with how she looks on tv…maybe that’s why she comes off so cold
I loved the first dress Demetria had on, it was beautiful! I do feel Daisy should have went to Demetria with her concerns and not the group. Even after Daisy talked to Melissa, it was still a disconnect to me.
Everyone who she spoke to WITNESSED the bad behavior. They are not allowed to talk about it? Is this some special Demetria rule? Because on planet earth when someone disrespects someone over such a serious issue. everyone talks about it. Not to mention on a “reality show” where everyone is told to talk about it.

It looked like Geneva did a lot of back peddling at the dinner table but I guess she wasn’t counting on Chauntelle repeating what she’s been saying about Demetria behind her back. I also feel like Geneva brought up Daisy’s situation only to deflect from her conflict Demetria. She acts like she’s scared of her. What if Daisy wasn’t up for that kind of conversation. Like it was mentioned…she clearly didn’t look so good compared to how she normally does. Demetria comes off very cold. I just can’t with her. I’m not feeling Mylssa this season and I’m not sure why. Always liked Micah…Arzo I can take or leave. I think Chauntelle can be a bit antogonistic, especially while she is defending Geneva but I don’t dislike her.
OK. Here’s my thoughts. Dimetria is a jerk, but she’s incredibly insecure. Any man that tried to disinvite my friends from our wedding would have a smack in the head waiting for him. Also, that q&a event was a joke. As a person that has held several events, you can’t expect people to pay attention to a speech more than 2_minutes. Particularly when alcohol is involved. I think production was up to their nasty ways.
My heart broke for daisy. It’s like her happy upbeat façade just melted away and you could see how much stress she’s under. And having to deal with those bitches. Ugh.
Here is the thing about Demetria, she was my favorite last season. The one thing I didn’t like about her last season was she was clearly wearing the pants in her relationship with Greg. He wanted to help plan the wedding she was not having it. She was telling him what to do.
This season, he is calling the shots and she is not a good friend anymore. Once again. Bravo has assigned them all new parts.

Mica is a solid friend…I always loved her. Last season she lost her father that’s why she was a mess. I hope Demetria sees how crappy she acts
Umm Demetria didn’t do anything wrong. She just let GeNeva know that Greg wasn’t a fan. Demetria and Geneva were laughing about it when Chantelle stuck her big nose into at the dinner. Chantelle is the one that had no clue what she was talking about. Chantelle was extremely rude to Greg (someone she doesn’t even know) and didn’t deserve an apology. I don’t think Demetria and Greg did anything wrong — at all. Daisy is getting annoying. Demetria and daisy are like night and day personality wise. Daisy is so nice it’s almost fake and Demetria is the opposite. She’s very dry and sarcastic but you could tell she was genuine when she offered to help daisy but since it wasn’t in the overly gushy way daisy is used to, then it wasn’t “genuine” — bs.
Daisey should have styled Demetria for the photo shoot. I have seen her do “make overs” on several talk shows. She does great! I did not think either wedding dress was becoming on Demetria. If the designer wanted those 2 in the shoot, then they had the wrong model. The second dress was darling, but terrible with her body type. The first dress was more becoming, but I never realized before that she was that large.
I guess I am focused on bodies tonight. They showed 2 or 3 scanty photos of Malyssa in past shoots, as well as her stuffing herself into her bra and jeans in the bedroom. I think an editor or camera man has the hots for her. (I am sure there is a newer term for this.)
I saw the similarity between Dementia yucking it up with Malyssa during Daisey’s serious conversation and Mica and Chantelle doing it during Demetria’s press party, or whatever it was. I was glad Chantelle brought that comparison up. I don’t care for Chantelle so far, but somebody needs to put Demetria in her place, not the other way around, as Dementia said. That woman is just too full of herself. She was last year and now is worse. It seems like in every episode she somehow gets in a list of her accomplishments. Tonight it was in reference to her surprise at her Mother being excited for the wedding.
Malyssa sure is sucking up to Demetria, is she trying to get in the wedding party, or something?
It’s Melyssa. And Women of any size can wear whatever they would like on their wedding day. That said I thought the second dress was hugely unflattering. (See how you say that?)

TT, Great recap! I’m worried about Daisy.
Another great recap, thanks TT.
I just watched the episode and cannot understand the antagonism between Chantelle and Demetria. I think they are similar in that they are both ‘A type/take charge personalities and expect to be ‘Top of the tree.’ Maybe that’s it. A good, old fashioned personality clash.
It was nice to see Demetria’s mother. D is definitely mummy’s girl: composed, self confident and self assured. These traits are often perceived as ‘snooty’ ‘stand offish’ or ‘stuck up.’ I think she has a good heart but she can be dismissive. Chantelle could have had a private conversation with Demetria, but of course not, this is reality TV and ‘dinner confrontations are perfectly normal’
I feel sorry for Daisy. She needs genuine, practical and sincere support from her friends, particularly when she is talking about her feelings. Melyssa and Demetria were very inconsiderate to use that moment to joke around. They owe HER a big apology. A real unequivocal one without ifs or buts. Thank goodness for Mica, she is the definition of a good friend.
As for Geneva, I forsee conflcit between her and Demetria. The series was filmed a while ago, does anyone know if she made it to the wedding?
I liked this show last season and was happy to see it return. I love Mica. She’s who I’d want to be if I could have ever been young and carefree. Geneva grates on my nerves and what was with wearing the sunglasses all during this shoot? I do not like the girls from the Middle East (sorry, T, I know you have special memories there). I can’t quite figure out what they are doing on this show. Demetria must get disappointed so often b/c there is no way the world could meet her expectations.
God love Daisy. I so admire her fight. Cancer is an awful, awful beast. My husband lost his battle at 46. I’ve heard him beg the doctor to give him one more week and then say they are just keeping him alive to build up their 5 year survival rate. I love that all the comments here are so supportive of her. Melyssa, meh! I liked her a lot last year. She was poor and having a hard time selling real estate and this year she has a business manager to manage her money??? Somehow 2 + 2 is not adding up to 4 with her this year.
I really hate how Geneva is always kissing Demetria’s ass. She acts like she’s afraid of her or something.
Mica not Melyssa is Daisy’s true friend & as courageous & funny she appears to be we know it must be very hard to endure everything all the time; thank God for Mica.
Demetria is too self-absorb to care deeply about Daisy’s situation but she will soon find out that a fiancé is much different from a husband/marriage which can be just as challenging as cancer – you just may need a doctor, friend or lawyer if not all of the above.
As for the photo-shoot, why not invite all the girls making them a part of the event especially Daisy who is known for her incredible makeovers. I believe it would have taken her mind off her situation if only momentarily. Demetria really missed an opportunity to do something nice for Daisy to give her a lift but that would require maturity & compassion to look pass your own needs to see another’s. I pray that Daisy will be healed completely.
If you are going to continue calling people self-absorbed (this is twice in an hour or two) please learn how to spell it.

I still like Demetria. I think Daisy shouldn’t expect all her friends to act like Mica. Stop expecting them to act the way SHE thinks they should act. She doesn’t need the stress of expecting behavior from people. It actually goes for all of them.
I think Daisy’s expectations are perfectly reasonable. She thought she had friends.
From my point of view, If you call yourself a friend:
listen to me (Daisy) when I talk about my ordeal with cancer(save your jokes and face pulling for another time, Melyssa and Demetria ).
Ask me how I’m feeling (because, you know, I’m suffering from cancer) Demetria, I know you’re planning your wedding but how long does it take to pick up the phone?
And, if you have time,
accompany me to one of my radiotherapy/chemo treatments. (Melyssa)
Make it your business to know what time and where. (Melyssa)
Daisy doesn’t ask for much. As far as I can see of how she acts on the show, she really doesn’t.
This is a very difficult time in her life and she needs all of the help, support and love she can get. If someone else had the misfortune to contract cancer instead of Daisy, I have no doubt that Daisy would offer tremendous, heartfelt, emotional and/or practical support to whoever needed it. And, no one would question her sincerity. She’s absolutely right cancer (like divorce, suicide and cot death) reveals who your real friends are.
Agree!
@kym,You don’t have to be a friend to show compassion or have the common decency to not laugh when someone is sharing a life or death situation! Demetria with her superior attitude can take a hike and .Melyssa with her phony ass kissing of Demetria can go right with her.
I still like Demetria but she’s got the big head this season. I liked both dresses at the photo shoot and the second one is more her style, but I prefer the first one if for me. I wondered why she took Melyssa since Daisy is the stylist. Chantelle tries to hard for camera time. Arzo is boring and uncompassionate but next week she’s calling Geneva out. I felt daisy’s pain and just don’t get the Melyssa/Demetria love fest. I always liked mica whois a true friend. I think Mica’s granny passed.
I think Chantelle is a genius. She knows that causing conflict gets you camera time. I don’t believe that anyone at her professional level would behave the way she does on the show. She “clears the air” at very bad points, she demands apologies for ridiculous reasons, and she complains about non-existent problems.
I keep reading posts about how people should invite whomever they want to their weddings, despite any problems their partners may have with them. These people have little experience with successful relationships. A marriage is an event for two people to enjoy, not their cousins, parents or friends. If my friend’s fiance was mad at me, I would simply apologize. It would make my friend happy at her stressful time.
Daisy kept her cancer diagnosis secret for months and now wants these women to react to her as she sees fit. If I were them, I would not know what is right or wrong, so I would wait for her to give me clear signs. People getting unruly after Champagne while she tells her story is to be expected. Daisy was sober, they were not.
I agree with you.
First, Demetria. I think she explained herself very well in her confessional. Your health is a very personal thing. My mother would have a fit if i told my struggle on tv or to friends. She is so private, she got upset when her niece inquired about her health after major surgery. Her very own niece!!! That being said, not everyone would feel comfortable calling you about your health that you had not personally discussed with them. Especially someone who was, for lack of a better word, your enemy up until last week. Demetria is not the gushy type and it I wouldnt expect all that from her. Now talking while she was discussing it with Geneva was disrespectful, but they drunk.
Your assessment of Chantelle is spot on! She is playing her role on reality TV to perfection.
As far as the wedding, the people at your wedding should be people that support both you and your spouse and want to see your marriage succeed. Now if i felt that one of my fiancee’s friends was disrespectful towards me I dont know if i want to look out at those gathered and see that person eating and drinking the food that i provided.
Geneva should just apologize for the sake of her friendship. However she was talking real reckless after Demetria invited Melyssa and not her to the photo shoot.
The tone in which Demetria called Daisy into that room really pissed me off. It was like she was calling her dog or something. Who does she think she is??? She is beyond rude and so full of herself. Obviously, I’m not a fan of her (or Geneva).
Mica I love! I liked her last season, and this season even more. My favorite scenes are those with just Mica and Daisy. Those scenes are so genuine. I love the way Mica doesn’t treat her any differently, as so many do when a friend is sick. She’s always by her side, still cracking jokes and making her laugh, etc. She reminds me a lot of my best friend. <3 Daisy seems to be such a beautiful hearted person, and while she is amazingly strong, it was good to see her letting some of it out. As hurtful as it can be, it's a good thing that she's seeing who her true friends really are. Good riddance to those who are not. I'm praying for her.
