Rasheeda and her girlfriends Karlie Redd and Kalenna take a trip to New Orleans to get a break from her frosty relations with her husband Kirk Frost.
Kirk takes care of their son and invites Rasheeda's mom Shirleen over to help. Shirleen has no love for Kirk, having destroyed his motorcycle last year by running over it after she heard he had cheated on Rasheeda.
He has fought with Shirleen over kissing the baby and had a doctor agree with him that this needlessly spreads germs. Shirleen gets angry when he tells her this. Then he "accidentally" blurts out he had given the baby a DNA test to ensure it was his. Shirleen is incensed and calls Rasheeda on her vacation. She is incensed, too, but decides to focus on her partying and not answer any of Kirk's texts and calls.
So guess what? He shows up in New Orleans to surprise her and try to make amends.
"Bottom line. I need to save my marriage," he says.
"It's f***ked up,"she tells him.
He says he's sorry. "Allow me to be your husband," Kirk says.
"What has made you think I've done anything wrong?" she says.
"I don't want to lose my family," he says sincerely. "I don't want you to go another day without you knowing I love you."
She starts to cry.
He gives her her wedding ring - upgraded. He put his ring back on, too.
Rasheeda says she doesn't feel quite safe yet to embrace his apology or the marraige. "I love Kirk but I need time to think," she says.
In other story lines:
Wooing, Stevie J style: Stevie J (the man who is embroiled in a $1 million child support case with another lady that landed him in jail last week) is in make-up mode. Joseline had discovered naked shots of other women on his phone. He sits in a bubble bath with a cigar and turns up the Stevie J charm offense. His strategy: "Deny deny deny til you can't deny no more. Than you charm the panties off." It works. She is cool with him again and is ready to get back in the studio, too.
The porn tape that won't go away: Mimi is wondering if Nikko leaked the sex tape. He denies it. Of course. She also wonders if he's been sleeping with Althea, Benzino's girl. He says no, not while they have been dating. Sure, he smashed her in the past but not anymore. Althea apparently gets around because she supposedly slept with Stevie J, too.
O'Shea, no way! Erica's story line with O'Shea has been given almost no airtime to date. He has been portrayed as a model with no real job or money. She is tired of it and accuses him of mooching off of her. They appear to break up. "I blame myself," she says. "I did spoil you." She then meets up with her ex Scrappy, now separated from Bambi, for a reconciliation lunch and they leave it as "friends."
Photoshop? Karlie Redd is sending around photos and spreading rumors that Benzino's junk size is more bite size than super size compared to that of her boyfriend Yung Joc. Benzino tells Stevie J how upset he is about her spreading such lies. If Benzino is truly upset, he is doing a poor job actually showing it. By the way, for camera purposes, he calls his personal piece the "beefcake."
Waka wha? Waka Flocka and Tammy? No shows.
TRAILER FOR NEXT WEEK
Did Nikko leak the sex tape on purpose? Mimi is increasingly convinced that's the case. And there's a teaser to Benzino getting shot up in Massachusetts.
