"Men in Crisis"
Welcome back fans!!
We're back in sunny San Diego, where the Housewife, Ex-wife and Momma are at the drinking thing again. Functioning drunkards. Sheesh, put down the shots and do something with your lives (except the fabulous Tasha Mackity Mack!)
Mel is talking about Derwin again and his troubles with Janay and needing to go to court in order to see his son.
"Bummer!" Tasha says in a way too squeaky valley-girl voice.
"She's making him jump through hoops!"
Then we see Derwin, stripped down and he literally jumps through a hoop at Janay's house!
HUH?!
Now how about we go to Disney World with AJ?
He promises to ask Janay, but doesn't have very high hopes. (cue depressed look)
No high hopes, eh? Is that because you BURNT the chicken at Janay's house? He's doing the double step here. And even when he is confronted by TeeTee at the Chicken Wing bus,
and TeeTee knows his customers,
he denies it. I wonder if Mr. Guy-whose-name-I-don't-know would have given him more grief if he'd said the truth. We'll catch up with his lyin' ass later.
Tasha and her new man, Dante are out having dinner,
he makes the grand mistake of telling Tasha they didn't have to eat at five star restaurants ALL the time and boy-oh-boy did that conversation take a wrong turn. She asks him not to try and cramp her style and he storms out...
Later she makes him dinner,
but he is too engrossed in his game to pay her any attention. Tasha got mad and then it slips out that Dante is in love with her!! Oh YAY! So they kiss and make up and she convinces him to teach her how to play the game so she can kick his ass in the game.
Back to the ladies (and Kelly's dwindling role), here they are, out to brunch talking business with Mel as attached to her iPad as I am (I feel you girl, it feels like being a part of Star Trek).
Guess who walks into the restaurant!
Didn't this happen before at Mel's favorite sushi bar (the one with the orange drapes between the booths) last season? Aren't there enough restaurants in San Diego? Gee!
Mel tries to hide in the only way she can - behind her hand - coz as long as you don't see her face you can't tell if she's the one, right? Tasha, seeing Mel's discomfort calls out to Janay,
Thanks Tasha. But how can you hate someone with such perfect arms?
Mel goes over to say hi (and this is what she gets)
and to thank Janay for letting AJ go with them to Disney World (this is more of what she gets)
Your man has a tan, you didn't notice?
You crazy bitch!! (oh that was Mel screaming at Janay). In season one these two ladies were getting along, now they're spitting at each other in a public place! If you can't feel the horror of the moment, look at the bottom right corner of the above picture!
Back at home, Mel decides to show Derwin some kindness. See the welcoming smile? Beware of a woman who smiles at you like that when you know you've been doing something wrong behind her back! She gives him a massage and suggests that they watch a movie.
Yeah DERwin! What do you think of that?
There he is, flexing and playing with his son and Janay. So what excuse do you think he can use?
- ->My darling Mel, the courthouse moved to Janay's backyard. Yeah, her father is so rich and powerful that he MADE them move!
- ->Sweetheart, it is not what it looks like. I'm a really a puppet who grew into a man, but sometimes when I'm outside it is like the devil himself takes control of my strings and I can't stop it!
- ->Look Mel, I can explain. We had a wonderful day in court and Janay and I decided that being friends was the best thing for our son, so we went to play. I was going to tell you all about it!
- ->Call 911 Melanie, there is a guy out there impersonating me!
We didn't hear Derwin's excuse, but we know he wasn't happy about the video showing up on the internet. He confronts Janay.
"You wanna mess up my marriage?"
Derwin quit frontin'. You're the one making me believe we could be a family and I fell in love with you ... again.
I'm sorry, I didn't mean to hurt your feelings.
You're always sorry Derwin, get outta my house.
You think a brutha would catch a break. He only wanted to see his son, that is why he flirted with Janay, visited them every other day. He couldn't tell Mel. She'd freak out!
So, if you are in the doghouse, being late for dinner is not exactly the smartest thing to do. However, because he has been dragging Mel to church, she learnt something. She learnt...
... forgiveness. Although saying it with that face doesn't exactly convey the feeling.
The episode finishes off with Malik, looking very contrite and way too quiet. Tasha goes to check on her son with an offering of chicken wings. He only accepts them because they are not from TeeTee (apparently still on the $h!t list).
He's doing good, he says. We believe him, we think. Tasha tells him she is in love.
He's obviously happy for her.
Yay! I like seeing Tasha in love.
There still seems to be too much focus on each character individually instead of them together collectively as people affiliated with the Sabres. It is continuing to get closer to what previous seasons were, I just hope they get to it before the season is over.
