On the latest Belle Collective, Tambra phones a friend to dispute a rumor, while Amanda makes a major accusation against the Pearsons. Lateshia shares a surprise announcement, and Matt and Kerri’s mothers clash over Marlene’s involvement in the Pauls’ marriage.
Here’s the recap for “Reunion Pt. 2: Threesome’s a Crowd.”
Ralph denies being in a relationship with Tambra.
Carlos asks Ralph if he and Tambra are in a relationship after Shante plays her video. Ralph responds, “Hell no,” and denies that they were ever together. Tambra believes the phone call proves Shante’s source lied.
The conversation then shifts to Shante and Lateshia’s friendship. Shante says Lateshia supported her as much as possible without jeopardizing her place in the Collective. She also denies talking badly about Lateshia behind her back.
Shante explains that she and Lateshia have difficult conversations directly with each other. However, she admits she does not have the best relationship with Glen. When Carlos asks about Amanda’s claims involving Glen and direct messages, Shante says she has never seen a message that implicates him but believes having any conversation was “too much.”
Glen denies that he and Lateshia have an open marriage.
Carlos asks Demond how he feels about repeatedly having to defend his relationship with Tambra. Demond says he does not know Shante or understand her motive. He adds that the rumor may have resulted from a misunderstanding and tells her, “Just get it right.”
The discussion shifts when Amanda claims Glen and Lateshia approached her about having a threesome. Lateshia denies it and asks Amanda if she ever discussed anything intimate with her. Amanda responds, “Your husband has.”
Amanda says the open-marriage rumor stemmed from Glen allegedly telling her he does what he wants. Glen denies that account and says he and Lateshia have never discussed inviting another woman into their bedroom.
Tambra and Kerri disagree about who first discussed the baby rumor.
Next, Carlos asks Selena if she believes Marie and Kerri helped bring the baby rumor to the show. Selena says Marie warned her that it might come up. She also recalls Kerri saying Matt heard the rumor during a conversation with Cliff.
Kerri says she first heard about the situation while talking to Tambra after her birthday party. Tambra disputes this and insists Kerri already knew about it. As they debate the timeline, Kerri admits, “I can’t remember specifically where I got it from first,” but maintains that Tambra discussed the rumor with her.
Tambra argues that the rumor had already spread throughout the Collective. Before Carlos moves on, Kerri checks that she and Tambra are still on good terms because she did not intend to throw her under the bus. Tambra assures her they are good.
Glen agrees to sign the postnuptial agreement.
The reunion turns to Lateshia and Glen’s marriage. Lateshia says they are doing well and working through issues involving communication and the postnuptial agreement. Although Glen has not signed it, he insists, “I will.”
Glen says he understands protecting assets but questions why Lateshia wants an agreement after everything they built together. Carlos understands his perspective and points out that Glen worked hard to provide for their family. Lateshia agrees that his feelings are valid.
Looking ahead, Lateshia announces that she plans to become a licensed general contractor. She believes the license will help her build generational wealth, save money, and expand her portfolio. Carlos congratulates her and tells the couple, “We are rooting for the Pearsons.”
Marlene admits she did not initially approve of Kerri.
Carlos then asks Kerri about her relationship with Marlene. Kerri describes it as a normal mother-in-law and daughter-in-law relationship, but admits she has held back from addressing their conflicts over the years. She says those issues finally “bubbled up to the surface” because of the show.
Marlene admits she did not initially approve of Kerri because Kerri was a year older than Matt. She also wanted her son to focus on his baseball career and claims Kerri kept “running him down.” Kerri pushes back and insists that she supported Matt’s career before a torn labrum ended it.
Matt acknowledges that he sometimes feels caught between his mother and wife. He says he has an obligation to love, respect and listen to both women. However, finding balance is difficult because Marlene and Kerri are both stubborn, strong-willed and outspoken.
Eleanor calls Marlene out for meddling in Kerri and Matt’s marriage.
As the family discussion continues, Kerri reveals that she and her business partner closed their struggling Mobile restaurant. She says the loss was hard because they did not have the time or resources to keep the business running. During that difficult period, Kerri wished Marlene had recognized what they were facing instead of judging her.
Eleanor then accuses Marlene of meddling in Kerri and Matt’s marriage. Although she says she loves Marlene, Eleanor adds, “I’m not gonna let Marlene disrespect my daughter.”
Marlene denies interfering and argues that Kerri blames her for her own shortcomings. Eleanor stands her ground, but both women agree that Kerri and Matt love each other. Marlene ultimately says she supports their marriage before jokingly retracting the statement.
The Belles share their plans for the future.
To close the reunion, Carlos asks each of the Belles what she plans to do next. Selena says she and Mike are searching for their forever home and may purchase land to build one. Tambra plans to continue working in radio while contributing to a true crime series and working more with HBCUs.
Marie announces that Hamilton Davis will celebrate its 20th anniversary on Dec. 5. After the celebration, she plans to retire and focus on the Zula Marie brand while continuing to invest in health care. Kerri wants to expand her wellness events and collaborate with the other Belles.
Following her health scare, Latrice says she wants to step back from work and focus on enjoying life. She also jokes that she may “jump on top of” Cliff so they can have a baby. Meanwhile, Lateshia plans to rebuild with Glen, spend more time with her family, and complete the second test for her builder’s license.
Carlos closes the reunion with Dr. Marie Cola instead of alcohol. He congratulates the Belles on the season and says, “It’s only up from here.”
