Rit is giving you a sneak peek into Ashley and Michael's Fox5 interview from next week, where they stand strong as a blameless, shady, uncomfortable couple. Then Rit breaks down Sunday's RHOP which was light on action and heavy on introspection. 

EPISODE NOTES:

This was more of a self help episode. No idea what I missed in act 1… probably a recap of the farm? 

Chris is annoyed that Monique threatened to drag Candiace. Then the girls start showing up because honestly who wants to watch Monique and Chris get a sonogram. Monique doing a 3d sonogram party is weird. Just have a party at home and show people the pictures. 

The kid start acting up and make it awkward. Candiace looks like she wants to kill the kids, Karen looks confused. Karen brokers peace between Candiace and Monique. Karen asks her what’s really going on. 

Candiace: There have always been latent issues with my mom, but the wedding has exacerbated that… .what’s interesting about this comment is Candiace has learned the terminology from her mother for how to describe a situation eloquently and in medical terms. But she doesn’t know how to actually deal with these situations or make them better. 

Candiace admits that she needs to separate the two. Candiace tears up. Monique looks like ‘oh here we go again.” They end up talking it out blablabla. 

Gizelle agrees to be there more for her kids. 

Robyn didn’t know she had to do an open house. She is literally the worst at flipping houses. 

Robyn is considering having a baby. Can we not…? 

Ashley tells her therapist that Michael has been in the news for assaulting someone. Ashley talks about putting on a smiling face around the other women. She doesn’t want people to think she’s weak or that she doesn’t support michael. 

EWWW Ashley sees michael as a dad! 

The therapist tells Ashley that Michael isn’t her dad. 

Oh man the second Ashley closes her eyes and goes to the dad thing she starts crying. That’s tough. Then they show a picture of her and make the therapist’s voice echo. That’s a tough choice. 

AShley finally breaks down about her dad. This is the key to her I think, and why she tries to play it cool all the time. 

Ashley: I always thought my dad was listening. He was never listening. 

Then they smash cut to upbeat music… oh… ok… 

Prediction: She’s going to go look for her dad. 

GIZELLE TALKS TO ANGEL ABOUT THEIR RELATIONSHIP

Listen I’m the kid parents never have to worry about, and it sucks! 

Ashley said her dad blocked her because she reached out on social media. This dad stuff is the most real Ashley has ever been. Also we’re not going to see her dad because he’s blurred, so it means he didn’t sign a waver. 

ACT SIX

Monique and Chris heading to dinner with Monique and Karen. 

Karen: I don’t want to see her all dusty and alone like Gizelle on an island by herself. Woahhh shade out of the blue. Damnnnn!!! 

Then monique said that if Karen had kids powder would come out of her breasts. 

Sudden sexual slow mo of Karen eating an oyster Karen: Because you’re mature it doesn’t mean you’re making love. 

UGH Candiace sings ‘just eattt itttt’ 

Monique says Ashley is doing well and breaks down what happened. MICHAEL WAS INSIDE HE SAID HE WAS HOT!! YES HE WASSSS

Do we have any witnesses? Chris was named as a witness. 

This gang going through the details, lookign for camera angles, its amazing. But they get nowhere.

Ashley confronts everyone for not being there next week. Michael is at a haunted house.
