The producers of "Love and Hip Hop Atlanta" are desperately trying to make the Jessica Dime/ Tiffany Foxx angle interesting. Over 15 episodes, it's been a slow, dull sludge of a plot build up.
We learn Tiffany ended up working with both Jazzy Pha and Stevie J on songs. Jessica was given some junior producer to Jermaine Dupri. So Mimi Faust appeared to be more or less doing her managerial work.
I have no idea which singer is better or if either is terribly talented, but this episode spent more time with them than ever before.
Jessica also meets with Margeaux and they plan to work together.
Later, she also gets together with Tiffany and they get all angry over Mimi passing info about gossiping behind their backs. Tiffany gets on Jessica's nerves. Jessica throws a drink on Tiffany, confirming to Tiffany what a "hoodrat" Jessica is. Jessica curses up a storm outside the bar while vowing to drop Mimi as a manager. Dawn is there to swoop in and provide Jessica fresh work.
Their shenanigans somehow tie in to Joseline and Stevie J. While they seem to be doing okay personally, they are hiding their professional work from each other.
Joseline finds out from Tiffany that Tiffany is working with Stevie J. She tells Stevie J that she's recorded a song with someone not named Stevie J. Both are equally offended with each other. Secrets are the fuel of this show, however silly.

Momma Dee is getting ready to get married to Ernest. Momma Dee's daughter is still upset. She brought Erica (her son Scrappy's distant ex) with Bambi (his most recent ex) for a wedding gown fitting as bridesmaids. Erica and Bambi hate each other. "You all gotta be down with the crown," Momma Dee proclaims. Erica and Bambi badmouth each other, of course, setting the stage for more drama down the road. We find out in a trailer next week that Scrappy didn't know about the wedding plans.

Margeaux talks more about divorcing Nikko Smith. She also reveals she's dating someone else but doesn't reveal who he is.

Last week's little "fight" between Rasheeda and Kalenna finishes up quietly with Tony pulling Kalenna away. She later admits she may be fighting post-partum depression. She is especially upset Tony brought it up in front of her former BFF. She is certainly not in a forgiving mood, more like a sad one.
