Latrice accuses Lateshia of contacting her former employees.
While speaking with Selena and Amanda, Latrice says Cliff is in Colombia, leading to a discussion about men traveling there alone. The conversation then shifts when Latrice claims Lateshia has contacted her former employees behind her back.

Selena celebrates her birthday and announces her wedding date.
At Selena’s birthday party, Latrice arrives, saying she plans to “pay dust” to Lateshia and Shante. She again references her belief that Lateshia may have had a hand in Shante confronting her, but does not raise the employee accusation at the start of the celebration. When Lateshia arrives late from work, Glen leans in to kiss her, but she pulls back and later explains they are not in a “kissing space” at home.
