RHOP-A Chin Check and a Side of Shade

Podcast Summary: RHOP S10 E2 — “Mint to Be Shady”

This week’s Real Housewives of Potomac episode starts with Ashley’s Second Bloom Ball — and things bloom straight into drama. Ashley wants proof of Stacey’s divorce, saying, “We can be a lot of things, but we can’t be liars.” That sets the tone for a night of shade and shifting alliances.

Wendy tries to play peacemaker, but Ashley quickly stirs things up by calling Stacey out for lying. Stacey feels attacked and confused as the women gang up on her, while Karen’s friend Cookie makes a cameo ahead of Karen’s upcoming birthday.

We meet new Housewife Tia, who reveals her Nigerian royal lineage and her upscale lifestyle — a total contrast to the other ladies. Meanwhile, Ashley throws in an “epic surprise”: a stripper. Because, of course.

Later, Wendy and Stacey meet for a low-key catch-up (sparkling water instead of champagne). Stacey drops two bombshells — she’s back with her husband and she’s launching a cannabis line. Wendy’s face says it all: girl, the math isn’t mathing.

We get a glimpse into Angel’s life in the DMV, her NFL hubby Bobby, and their stunning Colorado mansion. She’s adjusting to life as the group’s “rookie,” but as she says, “I’m not a rookie woman.”

At Tia’s house, we see her family dynamic and Giselle’s first impressions. Giselle, as usual, keeps the pot stirring — especially after learning about a supposed “chin check” between Angel and Kiarna.

The “Truth and Tranquility” yoga party turns into “Lies and Foolishness,” according to Giselle. Angel tries to keep things zen, but once Giselle brings up the “chin check,” chaos follows. Kiarna ends up apologizing, and the ladies try to regroup with mints (for more reasons than one). Ashley claims the mints were meant for Stacey’s “hot breath,” which adds insult to injury.

During the fire circle, Stacey calls Ashley over to confront her about questioning her divorce and shows what she says is a legal notification — but Giselle immediately calls it fake. The receipts aren’t receipting.

Finally, the ladies honor Karen’s birthday without her, sharing memories from her time in jail. But the biggest twist comes from Cookie’s phone: a text from Chris Samuels. Apparently, Stacey tried to shoot her shot with Monique’s husband — even asking Ashley’s friend to introduce them. Three weeks later, word gets back to Monique… and it’s clear this mess is just getting started.
