How is it time for another RHOA recap again? I feel like I just did one. Even though I don’t remember a thing about it. On tonight’s episode, we get to see the scene with Nene and Marlo at the Central Park Boathouse where Nene caused a disturbance and left. Of course, if you read Tamara Tattles, you already knew about this. Click here if you missed those spoilers.
But first, Nene has to go approach Cynthia on the NYC Pride float. Surprisingly, it is all very cordial. She made small talks with Noelle and Noelle asked her mother after if that was okay. Cynthia said of course! I am a bit surprised by this polite exchange. I totally expected drama. Nene even talked positively about Cynthia in her talking head. What is going on here? There is no civility on RHOA! Of course Nene was out in the NYC streets giving interviews to the press saying ugly things about Cynthia.
Daddy’s Girl
After the excitement of the NYC Pride parade, we head back to Atlanta for Porsha’s therapy. This time Dennis is not there. Porsha talks about how angry she is about Dennis cheating while she is pregnant. The therapist suggests she not make any life altering decisions while she is still dealing with the anger and resentment toward Dennis. Porsha clearly wants PJ to have her father in her life. But she is not ready to forgive Dennis. Porsha cries and says she is so depressed she doesn’t want to go to work, but she doesn’t have that option.

When the therapist says that she needs to consider everything before she closes the door on Dennis forever. Porsha says “the door is bolted.” Porsha is looking for a good nanny who can be the go between with PJ’s parents. Well, we all know that bolted door is wide open now.
Mama Knows Best
Kenya goes to visit Kandi at her house. Out of all the women on this show, Kandi has been Kenya’s closest confident when it comes to men. When Matt Jordan was breaking windows and tearing up Kenya’s home, Kandi was who Kenya called crying. SIGH. Already Kenya is being strange about Brooklyn’s birthday. She tells Kandi it is November 3. But, um, she’s always said it was November 4th, hasn’t she? This is the kind of stuff that is just bizarre when it comes to Kenya. Kandi says her baby is due in November too! In fact the baby was born last Friday!

Then the topic moves on to Marc Daly. Kandi doesn’t seem to be a fan. Marc seems to want to micromanage the care and feeding of Brooklyn. Kandi has tried to tell Marc that he has to let Kenya mother her child. Marc apparently undoes anything Kenya does for the baby. Marc doesn’t seem to want any alone time with Kenya. Kandi says that Kenya is very submissive to Marc.
Duck You!
Cynthia and Eva go to dinner at Tao Restaurant in NYC. When they get to the table, Eva asks why the table is set for three. Girl you knew who was filming in this scene. Marlo is coming and Eva says she is leaving when Marlo arrives. Cynthia can’t figure out why Marlo invited her to dinner since she is in town with Nene. They order without her and pregnant Eva orders almost $200 worth of food. Marlo arrives and Eva takes her food and goes to eat at the bar. But not before Marlo helps herself to some of Eva’s duck.

Marlo trashes Eva the secnd she leaves. Marlo tells Cynthia about the kids she is raising now. Not sure how she is doing that from NYC. Cynthia says that she is tired of making the first move to reconcile with Nene. I love when Marlo wears the most hideous ensembles just because they cost a lot of money. Now that she has secured a Bravo bag, she probably doesn’t even leave the tags on and take them back to the store the next day. Marlo and Cynthia hug it out after Marlo pledges to be friends with both Cynthia and Nene. Cynthia, gurl. Don’t believe her! Nene is not going to like this one bit.
Get to Peddling, I Am Outta Here!
Nene arrives at a jam packed Central Park Boathouse. She sits down and starts screaming as some kids about cursing. Really? Marlo arrive dress like a disco ball with way too much side boob going on. Ha! Right after I wrote that, Nene had a talking head about her coming to the boathouse dressed for Studio 54. I’m not sure what Nene is wearing but at least it isn’t a men’s white t-shirt tied in a knot.

Marlo updates Nene on her dinner with Cynthia. Nene does have a point though. Cynthia (and Kandi) have both trashed Nene on social media and podcasts and interviews. So Nene doesn’t feel as though she should be the only one who apologizes. Fair enough. Nene “cries” in her talking head about her relationship with Cynthia. No wonder she can’t land an acting role.
When Marlo tells Nene that both Cynthia and Nene were wrong and they both need to apologize. And that is when things start to go left. Nene tells Marlo she needs to stay out of it. Nene blesses Marlo out for implying that the situation is all Nene’s fault. It is all Nene’s fault! Now Nene is pissed with Marlo. Girl, you know Marlo’s role this season is to carry the bones back and forth between you and everyone else. Everything is your fault including Marlo having to make nice with at least one of the girls on the other side But Nene just storms out of the restaurant and gets in a pedicap and books.
The Baby Sister Dance
Kandi and Todd take Ace to the surrogates check up. Dr. Jackie shows the baby on a sonogram. She goes through the whole process of what to expect during delivery. I watched a video today that Kandi made while the surrogate was beginning labor. The whole family was in a room directly across the hall. Kandi was going back and forth and was in the room during delivery. Todd opted not to be in the room. Then, Kandi and the baby will do skin on skin contact immediately.

While all of this is going on, Kenya texts Kandi asking her to please come over because she is very upset. Kandi is shocked that she will not see the surrogate again after she gets the baby. It seems that Ace selected the baby’s name, Blaze.
Communication Breakdown!
When Kandi arrived at Kenya’s house, Kenya was all smiles and laughter. I’m confused. Kandi is confused. Everything about Kenya is confusing. Kenya and Kandi both want boob reductions. I do too but I am terrified by surgery. Finally, Kenya opens up about Marc. During the last trimester of her pregnancy he stopped having sex with her. Apparently, they haven’t had sex since. Kenya went on her anniversary trip to the Turks and Caicos with Brooklyn and without Marc. She makes it sound like she went alone but I am pretty sure her GBF, Brandon went with her.

Kenya seems like she is jealous of Brooklyn. I mean, jealous of the affection she gets while he gives her none. When Kandi tells her to tell Marc how she feels, Kenya breaks down. She has tried. Kenya says it escalates into an argument and Marc says really ugly things to her. Kenya says he crosses the line during argument. Kandi is really a good friend to Kenya. She talks about her first year of marriage to Todd and says it was really difficult. By the end of the talk Kenya is laughing and crying both. Kenya cries about not being protected as a child and she wants to protect Brooklyn.
Next week: Rhylee gets her own apartment. Someone stirs the pot with Cynthia and Nene. Kenya comes for Eva. I forget why those two don’t get along, but I wish they would. Kenya also gets into it with Cynthia. Eva and Marlo go for another round. It’s just a lot of bitch fighting.
Week two of not watching RHOA. I will watch last week’s On Demand, then wait a week and watch this one. I do not need to get steamed up over NeNe. Too much is going on at the Partidge In a Pear Tree Animal Farm with baby cavs and molting hens. Most animals are welcome … 2 dogs, 2 parrots, 5 hens, 6 guinea pigs. One BEAST is NOT welcome.
The wait was worth it. Your avatar did not disappoint! Lmao 😂
I’m five minutes in and Kenya has already pissed me off. She claims Kandi and Todd’s relationship is “new” like hers. Um, Kandi and Todd have been together/married since 2011. Kenya and what’s his face have been together 11 minutes! God she annoys me with her delusions!
Yes I thought that was strange myself. Todd & Kandi have been together much longer, and they moved in together like married people do when they got married. No comparison.
Ooh I can’t wait to watch this episode later. I feel sorry for Kenya but she’s gone from trying to protect Marc’s identity that detailing their sex life, like is it anyone’s business when the last time they had sex was? Kenya and Eva get into it but I’ve seen comments from both of them that they make up quickly after which is good. Everyone needs a friend like Kandi. She’s just down to earth, relatable and wise. As lovely as Cynthia is I just couldn’t imagine getting advice from her.
You were right about Nene crying, that was the worst
I agree Jess! That was uncomfortable/pathetic to watch, she was trying so hard to act sad when we all know she doesn’t give a shit.
And I believe everything Kenya said in regards to Marc. Just from the phone call on the last episode, his demeanor is very threatening and demanding. He doesn’t want a wife, he wants a nanny for his baby that will do whatever he says. I felt bad for her when she was talking about how he speaks to her. Talk about gas lighting, every time she lays the baby down he picks her up and when she swaddles her he undoes it immediately etc etc.
Blaze is a very cute STEM-focused cartoon for Ace’s age group. Blaze and the Monster Machines. If he picked it after that show that’s adorable. Heck it’s adorable no matter what!
Ace has had a Mandarin tutor for a while. Todd plays math games with him a lot, usually using money. This kid is probably going to skip kindergarten and first grade.
Then Blaze and the monster machines is probably is probably right up his alley. It’s all about math and science problem solving.
It’s so cute that they let him name his baby sister, Kandi and Todd are great parents.
Kenya doesn’t know Brooklyn’s birthday because, I dont know, she didnt give birth to her? Ask her her wedding anniversary, I bet she doesn’t know that either…because shes not really married?
How she has fans I’ll never understand.
And yet here you are being a FAN.
I agree 1000%… something is off
I’m sorry I agree with Harleigh
Not trying to body shame her BUT I think if Kenya had a surrogate she would have had those people to put her in a better body suit for Cynthia party last season. I don’t think she would have opted to look like that.
Preach!
I really don’t believe Kenya gave birth to her daughter which is fine but something isn’t right…. who gets their babies birthday mixed up – Brooklyn is her first – something is just off. Now she seems jealous of the attention her baby gets….. Marc seems like a real jerk
I love the kind of Dad Todd is, It seems Kandi really lucked out with him, and she is wonderful as well. That Ace is firggin adorable. Isn’t there a Blaze on paw patrol? Nene is just too much, I cant stand her even a little bit now.
Now don’t get me wrong I like Kenya but I have to admit I find it exceedingly odd that when she refers to her husband handling their baby she doesn’t say his baby,my baby,or our baby,she said the baby.
That to me is just odd.
“Rhylee gets her own apartment”??? Who is Rhylee?
Thank you for the recap TT . I will also be watching last week today and last night ‘s next Monday. VERY convenient actually, lol.
Nanette, your avatar is so great!!
Set a great mood started for the week!!!
Thanks. 😊
Hmmm. Another Monday and Wendy shows her pics of her and Nene (Neens) and Marlo pops in. Just saying.
I fess up that when asked about my younger son’s birthday I constantly get it wrong. I was there, I had him but I mix up 2-26-94 with 2-24-96…don’t ask me I just do and yes it sounds stupid but I have done it his whole life!
Anybody else notice when Lauren was calling Porsha and it shows up on Porsha’s phone as “Lo assistant”? I’m like, damn girl! That is your sister first and foremost. How many Laurens does Porsha know?
THe chyron on the screen popped up with “Lauren, Porsha’s assistant” too. I thought that was really odd.
Later on it showed that both her sister and assistant are names Lauren (after they were leaving dish nation)
It is possible that Lauren uses a phone strictly for her assistant duties. Im just guessing.
Lauren the assistant and Lauren the sister are two different people.
