Jacob, Naomi and Chelsea spot the two in the corner looking suspiciously like a COUPLE. Which brings us to the obvious question: WHAT ABOUT EVA?! Elsewhere, Tyrell and Chessy make their debut as a couple—but there's already a problem. Chessy and Tyrell's sister Samantha have bad blood. And Samantha decides to handle that by... TRYING TO CHOKE CHESSY. Well. Welcome to the family. 😂 Deanna also confronts Vanessa after learning about the carjacking and questions her mother's life choices when it comes to dating Joey. And the Dani/Bill/Andre situation continues. Andre once again feels Dani is giving Bill far too much of her energy and privately calls his wife out during the party. Then Nicole ALSO privately calls Dani out for prioritizing Bill over Andre. When your husband AND your friend are telling you the same thing... Dani might want to listen. Join us as we discuss Joey's warning about Hayley, Kat and Izaiah’s growing closeness, the chaotic Dupree tailgate, Samantha vs. Chessy, Vanessa and Deanna, and Dani continuing to put her marriage at risk over Bill.
