Here are the highlights for “A Cliff Hanger”.
Lateshia questions Kerri about the gossip.
During a couple’s outing, Lateshia tells Kerri she felt Kerri “basically threw my husband under the bus” when the situation involving Selena came up. She says the blame was placed on the men and adds she will not “sit there and let you lie or say whatever for whatever reason.” Kerri responds that she did not tell Matt directly and says she only provided updates, insisting the men are the ones who spread the information. The tension remains as both stand firm in their positions.
As the outing continues, Kerri says she will keep everything to herself next time. She adds that the situation showed her how quickly things can be turned around and misrepresented. Lateshia listens but does not back down from her stance about what happened. The moment settles without resolution.
Later, Lateshia shifts the focus back to the outing and acknowledges the effort put into it. She says the experience was “very nice” and thanks everyone for making it happen. Kerri accepts the shift but does not revisit the disagreement. The issue remains unaddressed as the group moves forward.
Kerri gets tough advice about her restaurant.
Kerri sits down with Matt and Eleanor and says the business is “bleeding” money after a potential buyer was unable to secure financing. She explains the location is back on the market and admits the financial strain continues to build. Matt listens as Kerri outlines the current situation. The pressure mounts during the discussion.
As they talk, Kerri says she has used “five figures” of her influencer income to keep the business afloat. She adds that she now has to “pour into the things that pay the bills” as she reevaluates her priorities. Eleanor responds by telling Kerri that “flip-flopping” will not help the situation. Kerri acknowledges the concern but does not commit to a decision.
Meanwhile, Matt compares the business to the Titanic and says the ship is going down regardless. Kerri pushes back, saying she does not want to close because about 20 employees depend on the job. Matt responds that keeping it open will only increase the debt. The conversation grows more intense.
As the discussion continues, Kerri says she is done crying over spilled milk and wants to focus on what is working. Matt responds that her hesitation is becoming “selfish” as the financial impact grows. Eleanor agrees that a decision is needed soon. Kerri remains undecided as the moment ends.
Latrice tells Cliff the hospital incident still hurts.
Latrice sits down with Cliff and tells him that leaving during her hospital stay is something she may never forgive. She says the moment hurt deeply because she needed him, and he still walked away. Cliff listens as she explains how the situation affected her. The conversation quickly becomes emotional.
As she continues, Latrice says she has always felt like “every man in my life left me,” referencing her past experiences. Cliff responds that she could have called him and asked him to come back. Latrice says she will never do that because she should not have had to ask. The disagreement continues.
During the exchange, Latrice says Cliff treats serious situations like a joke and calls it a coping mechanism. Cliff says he cannot read her mind every day and know what she wants. Latrice responds that she is clearly telling him how his actions made her feel. The tension remains.
Later, the tone softens when Latrice says she does feel love from Cliff and believes it is “unconditional.” Cliff agrees and says they have experienced both better and worse in their relationship. Latrice says they got things off their chest. The hurt from the hospital incident remains.
Selena reveals a health scare in Colombia.
Selena meets with Tambra and says her dental procedure became serious when her blood pressure went “higher and higher and higher.” She explains the doctors stopped the procedure because they did not want her to have a heart attack. Tambra reacts to the severity of the situation. Selena reflects on what happened.
As they continue talking, Selena says the experience was a wake-up call for her health. She explains she did not mention her condition beforehand and now understands the importance of doing so. She adds that she wants to be present when Sunjai has her baby. Tambra listens as Selena shares her concerns.
Meanwhile, Tambra tells Selena about the sip-and-see and the conversations that took place. She says rumors were discussed about Selena’s relationship, including claims she and her partner were just friends who decided to have a baby. Selena hears what was said during her absence. The information adds context to the group dynamic.
As the conversation continues, Tambra says there is “a lot of outside noise” affecting the group. She questions how they can move forward while listening to outside opinions. Selena takes in the update without directly responding to the rumors. The moment ends with tension surrounding the topic.
Latrice weighs business pressure and surgery with Stormi.
Latrice meets with Stormi and says neighbors have been calling the police “20 to 30 times a night” when Taste is open. She explains that the complaints have prevented her from using the condos above the business. Stormi listens as Latrice outlines the situation. The issue remains ongoing.
As they continue, Latrice says she believes bias plays a role in how the business is treated. She explains that people do not understand their culture and treat it as “taboo.” Stormi relates and shares her own experience with breaking barriers. Latrice responds positively to her perspective.
Meanwhile, Latrice reveals doctors found fibroids again and recommended surgery. She says she is nervous about the recovery time and its potential impact on her businesses. Stormi listens as Latrice explains her concerns. The decision weighs on her.
As the conversation continues, Latrice says delaying the surgery “makes sense to me right now” because she cannot step away from work. She explains that Cliff is not ready to run the business on his own. Stormi offers encouragement as Latrice considers her options. The moment ends with uncertainty about her next step.
