I would have filed this 12 hours ago but I had a minor case of heatstroke yesterday and still feel feverish and achy. But in case you missed the episode last night of "Love and Hip Hop Atlanta," here is an ultra quick, very belated, summary:
- Mimi Faust has managed to elongate the sex tape story halfway into this season, which is impressive. She has finally come clean and after an argument with her BFF Ariane last week, they kiss and make up. But Ariane brought Nikko's wife Margeaux over the house, along with Mimi to get them to understand each other and make peace. She didn't bother to tell either of her intentions and things go awry, mostly on Margeaux's front. She felt like she was ambushed and she wasn't that close to Ariane anyway. Mimi at least doesn't get physical.
- Yung Joc has been spending a few days at Kirk and Rasheeda's couch after Khadiyah booted him from her pad for various offenses related mostly to his baby mamas (especially Sina). He even offers handcuffs to her to show he's dedicated to her (and a callback from a previous episode.) She, at first, is open to reconciling but when he admits he had spent time at Sina's before going to Kirk and Rasheeda's, she leaves the restaurant.
- Jessica Dime, who feels her career is languishing under Mimi's "management," decides to meet up with rival Dawn, who is open to helping Jessica out. Karlie Redd, with no real storyline of her own, inserts herself between Jessica and Joseline, who had danced together exotically in Miami years back. Jessica says Stevie J hit on her back in the day, which might explain why they are avoiding her. Karlie goes to Joseline, who tells a different story, that Jessica was a prostitute and Joseline even paid her for sex. (Yes, Joseline plays for both teams.) Naturally, the final scene of this episode features Jessica entering the studio while Stevie J and Joseline are working. Stevie J slinks away and a confrontation is at hand - for next week's episode!
- Tony Vick and Kaleena Harper are still arguing over his nightclub and all the money he spent on it. She decides to drop him as a manager and go with Deb Antney, Wacka Flocka's mom. She gets him to sign papers relinquishing professional duties over her. But she gets quite emotional and that is reality show gold. That's why she's getting more airtime lately.
- What's up with Scrappy and Erica and Mama Dee? Nothing this week. In fact, this story line is clearly not percolating much because Mona Scott Young isn't spending much time with them despite the fact Erica is technically a "regular" who gets top billing.
