On this episode of The Real Housewives of Potomac, Candiace decides to host a Mom’s Day brunch, however there are a number of noticeable absences. Is Wendy avoiding Nneka? Will Robyn and Candiace ever be good collectively once more? Making an attempt to avoid wasting a friendship isn’t any simple job, however once you combine in husbands, social media, and a television present, issues get much more dicey…

Karen‘s 25-year-old-daughter Rayvin is on the town to have fun Karen’s Triple Twenty.  In honor of Mom’s Day weekend, Karen has determined to get a tat together with her child as a result of what’s a greater solution to really feel younger and youthful?!  They get matching g’s to commemorate Karen’s mother (however not earlier than dissing Juan and Robyn’s matching tattoos) and so they chat about Rayvin’s fast-paced life filled with vogue in New York as Karen hollers whereas getting inked. Additionally they talk about how Karen volunteered Rayvin to share her faculty expertise over a breakfast with Grace, Gizelle‘s daughter. Karen realizes that previously, Rayvin has had points with Gizelle, however now that Karen is in an excellent place with Gizelle, issues ought to go easily.

Candiace has determined to throw a Mom’s Day brunch since lots of the women inside their group have tight bonds with their mothers and so they all deserved to be celebrated.  Candiace brings her mother to fulfill with the planner/ CCO and so they talk about the perfumes that will probably be there and the invite checklist. Candiace brings the back-handed compliments, as all the time, when she says, “Ashley is a raggedy b*tch however she is an efficient mother” and he or she reminds her mother that Gizelle can simply keep house due to all of the crap she did to her household.  With regards to Robyn, Candiace shouldn’t be positive whether or not or to not lengthen the invite, based mostly on how issues have been left off with them…

Their relationship has been cold and hot, however as they’ve gotten older, they’ve gotten nearer.  They sip champagne as they peruse the shop, talk about Candiace’s mom’s day brunch, and even serenade us with sisterly songs from childhood. Njideka calls Nneka a workaholic and he or she likens Nneka to her father, a person who actually got here from nothing. Nneka is aware of she ought to hustle now so she will chill out later.

It’s mommy-daughter-double-date time. Though Karen and Gizelle have had their moments, they do bond over being mothers and having superior daughters.  Karen talks about how she first met Gizelle and the way Grace met Rayvin via Jack and Jill, a historic black group. They snicker in regards to the Jack and Jill cookie baking competitors and the way Gizelle didn’t win (on account of Karen, in the event you ask Gizelle). #recollections.

Grace shares that she goes to school in Florida and he or she is nervous as a result of she is a little bit of a homebody. Rayvin offers some sage recommendation about changing into your individual individual and Gizelle is grateful that Grace has Rayvin as a useful resource as she navigates this new chapter of her life.

Robyn and the fam roll as much as a stretching facility. Robyn explains that her sons are athletes and stretching is vital and whereas she talks to a (non-listening) Juan, she receives a textual content from Candiace, inviting Robyn to the Mom’s Day brunch.  Robyn is shocked, contemplating she was resolved to easily coexisting with Candiace.  Juan remains to be on the job hunt and Robyn talks about spending extra time collectively, which legit places him to sleep. LOL.

Candiace’s brunch is gorgeous, however…empty. Karen is the primary to reach, solo, as a result of she misplaced her mom a number of years in the past and Rayvin had to return New York. Candiace finally will get there and factors out the fragrance bar and the entire particular touches. Mia remains to be feeling emotional after Karen’s occasion and he or she has to come back alone as a result of her mother has to work. Mia guarantees that she’s “good” together with her relationship together with her mom or lack thereof. And we be taught that Wendy couldn’t come as a result of she has her e book signing and claims she didn’t find out about Candiace’s occasion till final minute. However, Candiace surmises that Wendy didn’t come due to the drama with Nneka…

Charrisse talks with Mia about Jacqueline, Mia’s ex-best buddy.  By means of Charrisse we be taught that Jacqueline cried when Mia received introduced up due to their estranged relationship.  Charrisse additionally shares that Nneka was at this similar occasion and when Jacqueline met Nneka, she had nothing however good issues to say about Mia…which is fascinating contemplating that in response to Nneka, Jacqueline carried on for 2 hours about tea on Mia.

Once they sat all the way down to eat, Charrisse will get proper in there with Ashley asking her about her divorce. Ashely says she doesn’t really feel urgency and all of it appears so ultimate, which is why she hasn’t signed the paperwork. She doesn’t wish to be romantic with Michael, however she shouldn’t be able to lose his cash, er I imply lower the tie fully.

Everybody chit chats as they eat and Karen, ever the businesswoman, begins speaking about her fragrance and the way Bloomingdale’s hopped on. She invitations Nneka to the pop up and although it’s a bit cheesy, Candiace doesn’t thoughts. Candiace talks about Wendy’s absence and the way she reached out to Robyn.  She lets the women know that Robyn felt as if it wasn’t an excellent transfer to be in a gaggle setting, previous to discussing their points by themselves. Because the occasion wraps up, Candiace, ever the hostess with the mostess, brings everybody inside for an inspirational music on her album that reminds her of what a mom’s love is like in the direction of her daughter.

Later, Candiace awaits Robyn’s arrival to speak via their points.  Candiace nonetheless has hope for her friendship with Robyn and in response to Candiace, it’s not that critical…Candiace simply said her opinion…together with the remainder of the world.

Candiace desires Robyn to elucidate what she did to harm her and Robyn believes it’s self-explanatory. If you see a buddy repeatedly unfold lies a few private resolution she made that had nothing to do together with her, then there’s a difficulty. Candiace claims she didn’t say what she mentioned to be offensive, however Robyn isn’t shopping for it.  Robyn is not sure who would try this to a FRIEND and Candiace calls it unfair since she had no concept Robyn was that upset at her.

Robyn will get reminded of the Juan stuff on a regular basis since everybody retains bringing it up and Candiace reminds Robyn they’re on a present about their lives.  Candiace’s largest subject is that Gizelle, Robyn, and Ashley appeared to be in kahoots plotting one thing towards her husband. Candiace looks like Robyn knew what Gizelle was planning on attempting to do and Candiace is grossed out that she is pals with Gizelle after she did that to her. Candiace looks like Robyn is placing her emotions on her and they’re at a stalemate.  Making up lies about husbands yields to by no means eager to be pals.  Candiace leaves, disgruntled, and Robyn seems on impassive.  May this actually be the final straw?
