As a bonus, Bravo gave us ‘Fashion Queens’ Derek J and Miss Lawrence to give us a countdown to the season premiere (click HERE if you missed that), and we’ve been on pins and needles waiting for the season to begin.

The episode, entitled ‘Bye Bye and Bon Voyage’ focuses primarily on Phaedra and Apollo’s issues, but also manages to give us an update on all the ladies lives so far.

Bravo synopsis

Phaedra and Apollo experience an emotionally draining day as he prepares to face his day in court and receive his sentence from the judge. After returning from a whirlwind vacation, Kenya attempts to pick up the pieces in the aftermath of her dispute with Porsha.

NeNe takes a break from Atlanta and heads to Vegas where she is busy rehearsing for “Zumanity,” Cirque du Soleil’s sexy, risqué show.

Still glowing from wedding bliss, Kandi begins to wonder if Todd’s laid back parenting style will cause a rift as they prepare for his daughter, Kaela, to come live with them.

Now free of NeNe, Cynthia resolves to take both her business and personal life to the next level.
