Recap below…
Phaedra’s husband Apollo was a hot topic of discussion during this week’s episode as it was revealed that the Feds showed up at Kandi’s door looking for a few of his hidden assets.
It’s also revealed that Cynthia & Peter got a visit as well.
While Phaedra plays coy, many of the ladies presume that she’s the one who tipped off the authorities.
Meanwhile, Phaedra enlists the help of Dwight Eubanks to throw a lavish Christmas celebration that will be the backdrop for the last episode of the season.
Now that Porsha’s sister is with child, Porsha’s ovaries are aching and she’s concerned about her ability to conceive.
Williams reveals that she’s suffered from Fibroid tumors in the past and even had a myomectomy to remove a huge tumor years ago. She makes a doctor’s visit to ensure that her fibroids won’t be an issue SHOULD she choose to have children in the near future.
The doctor advises Porsha that her Fibroids have returned, HOWEVER they are small and shouldn’t be an issue with a pregnancy SHOULD one occur. In the end, Porsha decides to hold off on starting a family and focus on dating…
(TRANSLATION: This segment was merely ‘space filler’ for the lackluster finale episode.)
Cynthia and Peter have had their share of marital woes, but it seems that they are each committed to making their relationship work.
Bailey plans a romantic evening with her hubby, filled with a bit of role play as she dresses as a naughty masseuse.
Peter is certainly down for?his ‘happy ending,’ that is… until daughter Noelle and her dad, Leon shows up unexpectedly.
Needless to say, the moment is ruined but it’s great to see the couple attempting to keep their spark alive by any means necessary.
No one really knows exactly WHY Nene and Kandi have always bumped heads, but apparently Nene decides to squash whatever ‘beef’ that’s been brewing over the years between the two.
Kandi didn’t make the Jamaica trip due to her pregnancy, so she missed Nene’s ‘surprise’ return, but Nene says she’s in a better space now and was hoping to see Kandi there so that they could talk.
When they finally get a chance to hash things out, it seems neither can recall exactly WHY they’ve been at odds over the years, but each admits to having a ‘strong’ personality.
Whatever the case, the ladies decide to clear the air and ‘reset the clock’ so that they can start anew.
The end…
It seems things have come full circle with Nene Leakes back in the fold, and while the season finale’ was a bit dull, hopefully the reunion show will have all the drama we desire (click HERE for a sneak peek).
Here’s how all of the ‘housewives’ ended the season…
