Welcome to the recap for Real Housewives of Potomac Season 9, Episode 13. In the last episode, the ladies headed to Panama for some relaxation with a dash of chaos, courtesy of Wendy’s villa assignments. Stacey got heat from the group regarding TJ not vibing with her, but she remained on his side. Karen was not over Jacqueline crashing her party, and Gizelle had beef with Mia for bringing up her daughters. However, after the OGs shared their peace, the group moved forward positively. At least for the first day. Here’s exactly what happened in RHOP Season 9, Episode 13: “Rum-ble in the Jungle.”
What happened in Real Housewives of Potomac Season 9, Episode 13?
Day two in Panama was a turning point between Mia and the group. Both Gizelle and Ashley were tired of Mia’s behavior and wanted her to take accountability for her actions. However, she did have support from Jacqueline, Keiarna, and Stacey. The day wasn’t all drama, though. Wendy took them rum tasting, and they played a game imitating each other, which was pretty spot on. At the night’s end, Karen hoped Mia could turn things around with everyone. Mia finally seemed willing and able, but things could always change on a dime.
Jacqueline saved the day for Mia
We left off with Mia talking to her mom, trying to find out where Gordon took the kids. In her confessional, Mia stated this was just another reason as to why she wanted a divorce. Even though now the two might be back together. Thankfully, Jacqueline put on her number one sidekick hat and found out that the kids were with their nanny’s mother. Mia’s panic attack was averted, and she was ready for a strong shot of tequila.
The group then headed off for some rum tasting and shopping. Keiarna gave an update on her and Greg’s relationship. She explained things were rough for the first year, but now they knew they were meant to be. Gizelle then pivoted over to Karen about the list of things she’s making Ray do to keep their love alive. Apparently, it’s opening doors for her and going downtown. TMI, Karen!
Meanwhile, Jacqueline dished to Ashley about the drama with Mia earlier. She explained how Mia didn’t know where the kids were for two hours. This triggered Ashley because she could not understand how Mia was acting like everything was fine in the car. Ashley said in her confessional, “I have no idea how Mia is sitting on this bus acting all calm, cool, and collected. I’m triggered right now hearing this.” Looks like Mia better get ready for Ashley.
Ashley and Gizelle were over Mia’s hattitude on Real Housewives of Potomac
It was a hattitude party, part two, as the ladies shopped for a Panama-style hat. Wendy did her best MJ impersonation, while Gizelle looked for a “grande” sized one for her head. Then it was down to business. Gizelle told Wendy, Jacqueline, and Karen she didn’t expect an apology from Mia talking about her daughters. She said, “Mia is miserable. Mia is in her moment. This is what Mia does.”
Meanwhile, Ashley, Mia, Stacey, and Keiarna went elsewhere to shop. Ashley confronted Mia about what Jacqueline had told her. She told Mia she didn’t know how to support her as a friend, and Mia responded with a curt, “Then don’t.” In her confessional, Ashley said, “Being Mia’s friend is exhausting. I’ve tried to be supportive, but Mia, at some point you need to take responsibility for yourself and be a rational adult and human being.”
After Ashley walked out, Keiarna and Stacey stayed behind with Mia. Keiarna said, “Mia’s just who is who Mia is. It’s kind of repetitive.” Stacey still couldn’t get over what had happened to the kids. Mia noted it was about control for Gordon. Ashley might not have been in Mia’s corner, but she had some backup. And Mia might need it for the rum tasting.
The rum tasting was rumble-free
The rum tasting was either going to bring the group together or bring on a rumble. Thankfully, it was the former. Gizelle wondered how Stacey did without her that day, and Stacey joked that she survived. But Wendy wanted to cause a little chaos, so she said, “Just so you know who Gizelle really loves, she bought me a hat.” Stacey’s eyes bugged out of her head like she was TJ’s bestie, Bugs Bunny. Then everyone had their shots in hand except for Karen. Jacqueline taunted her for not drinking, and Karen promptly called her a “bitch.” All in all, things were going well.
The server recommended everyone start with a small sip, which was promptly ignored by Mia, who downed shots like Marion in the Indiana Jones movies. In a comedic moment, Stacey noted she tasted licorice, and the server quickly shut her down. The comedy continued as they played a game imitating each other. Keiarna’s improv skills shined as she pretended to be Stacey apologizing and Mia downing a bottle.
Ashley decided it was time to get messy and brought up the rumor Jacqueline and Mia had hooked up with the same guy. Gizelle piped in, “Inc!” She said in her confessional, “Inc’s just like sharable. He’s like a Lunchables, just pass it around, and everybody like takes a cracker and takes a piece of ham. That’s Inc. He’s for the community.” After Mia confirmed it was actually Inc’s best friend, Wendy decided that was enough. She said deadpan, “Thank you for the additional information about your past, Jacqueline. We love that.” It was time to change and head out to dinner.
Gizelle wasn’t happy with Mia’s off-camera apology
Mia didn’t help her cause when she FaceTimed Inc on the way to dinner. The ladies overheard her tell him she wanted to hop on a plane to see him. Stacey was mortified. She said, “Go home to your kids; Inc can wait.” However, her mind quickly focused on a shirtless TJ playing tennis over FaceTime instead. The group then sat down in a too-small booth and cheered to liberation with a double tequila shot. But the vibe was definitely off.
Keiarna spilled the tea about her lawsuits against Deborah. Gizelle wondered how Deborah was going to pay her because she had no money. Keiarna observed, “That’s her problem.” Wendy then asked how the shopping went. Ashley said she was overwhelmed and Mia rolled her eyes. Stacey had her back, though, and said Mia was the one who was overwhelmed. Mia then informed the rest of the group about her drama with Gordon, which left their heads spinning.
Gizelle brought up her grievance that Mia had apologized to her off-camera. Mia snapped, “I’m sorry you have certain parameters when someone apologizes to you.” Jacqueline then blamed the group for adding extra stress to Mia. She was quickly shut down by Karen, Wendy, and Gizelle yelling, “Stop!” in unison. Karen said, “I think that Mia would agree she’s got some work to do to repair some relationships in this group … but it’s going to take time.” She concluded, “And now it’s on Mia to make it right. That’s it.”
Real Housewives of Potomac continues Sundays at 8/7c on Bravo.
