It’s solely day two in Austin, and Robyn has already been pushed to her restrict. On the best way to rooster sh*t bingo, Robyn lets all of it out. She doesn’t admire Candiace inferring that SHE is the explanation Juan misplaced his job. Simply because Robyn talked about Juan’s authorized points on TV doesn’t essentially imply her actions had been the nails within the coffin (yikes).

As soon as they arrive at rooster sh*t bingo, earlier than departing from the automotive, Robyn and Candiace determine they don’t seem to be pals. This isn’t the easiest way to kick off bingo, and the ladies from the opposite automotive are enjoying catch up, making an attempt to determine why Candiace is crying so arduous. Whereas Karen breaks out in hives (as a result of she is allergic to chickens), the remainder of the women strive to determine the foundations of this bingo: When the rooster sh*ts in your quantity, you win all the cash. Welp, there ya go.
Robyn shares with Gizelle that Candiace “tried to suggest what I mentioned had one thing to do with Juan being fired,” and Robyn will get emotional as a result of her household is hurting. Wendy is yelling at Candiace to cease crying, and Candiace is upset that Robyn is upset as a result of all she has ever wished to do was to be there for her. Principally, it’s a multitude and that is all unraveling whereas ready for a rooster to sh*t in your quantity so you’ll be able to shriek bingo.
Robyn excuses herself for some recent air, and Mia trails after her regardless of Robyn stating she would fairly be alone. Robyn plops down on a curb and appears like she is filming a tragic music video as she thinks about how arduous this firing has been for Juan. It is a very delicate scenario for her household. Finally, Gizelle comes outdoors, and he or she discusses Robyn’s points with Mia… whereas Robyn sits a mere 10 ft away on the curb inside earshot. Like, she will be able to hear you, guys…
Within the meantime, Ashley pets a rooster, a lot to Karen’s chagrin. Candiace states that she isn’t making an attempt to restore her relationship with Robyn as a result of she stays pals with Gizelle, and so it’s arduous to kind a real friendship. Everyone knows that Gizelle’s allegations in opposition to Candiace’s husband actually rocked her world.
Wendy is aware of that Robyn and Candiace did at one level have a real friendship, however based on Nneka, Wendy is making an attempt to control Candiace.

Ultimately, Candiace is completely satisfied to see some emotion coming from Robyn, particularly as a result of she has been making an attempt so arduous to maintain it collectively.
Karen is upset that the women are crying the day earlier than her birthday (wtf), and Robyn decides it might be finest to go again to the lodge. Gizelle and Mia persist with Robyn, and they’re questioning why Candiace was performing like a sufferer when she was the one who did “cyberbullying” final 12 months. Candiace, Karen, Nneka, and Wendy proceed their rooster sh*t. Candiace reminds the group that she isn’t speaking about her ongoing authorized scenario, and as she cries on this setting, it’s getting more durable and more durable to take all of it critically.
The subsequent morning, it’s Karen’s triple 20. Gizelle comes bearing presents (from the lodge foyer?) for Karen, and Karen is completely satisfied that their relationship has grown drastically over the previous couple of years. Karen is hopeful that this 12 months’s celebration will probably be higher than final 12 months’s Miami catastrophe, however she shouldn’t maintain her breath, contemplating there’s a kayaking outing deliberate, and Karen, the birthday lady, doesn’t even know swim!
Gizelle lets Karen know that on her entrance, there’s shifting ahead with Candiace. The narrative she put out and the “rhetoric and nonsense” she created final season was terrible. Gizelle claims to have acquired demise threats. Karen by no means realized how severe the scenario turned for Gizelle, and so she has determined to depart issues alone between the ladies.
Earlier than kayaking, Mia’s husband, Gordon, discusses the authorized pursuit in opposition to his siblings. Mia isn’t positive that is the very best transfer, however Gordon needs to take authorized motion to be granted the cash he believes he’s owed.
In confessionals, every lady needs Karen a contented birthday in her personal manner. After which they head out to kayak. I already know Karen will probably be sitting this one out as a result of she is donning a brief go well with set, which most undoubtedly doesn’t scream “water sports activities.” Plus, Karen admits she doesn’t know swim… sooo this was a GREAT birthday alternative for her.
