The Real Housewives of Potomac Season 9, Episode 6 brought high drama and juicy revelations. This week’s episode, aptly titled “Shady Waters,” continued the explosive Lake Norman trip where tensions brewed and secrets spilled, keeping fans on the edge.

Karen’s Rehab Rumors and Mia’s Shock Admission

The episode picked up with Karen addressing a startling rumor: Stacey told Karen that Mia and Jacqueline had hinted she needed rehab. Unfazed, Karen denied it and fired back by exposing Mia’s past struggles with opioid addiction. Karen’s bold retort hinted at a deeper feud as she vented, “Mia will step on anyone to rise up. I take this personally. Payback is a motherf*cker.”

Poolside Confessions and Frienemy Moments

At the pool, conversations took a more lighthearted turn. Stacey opened up about her divorce, with Karen suggesting she lean on Ashley, who was eagerly anticipating her own divorce proceedings with Michael. The women then debated when it’s appropriate to introduce kids to a new partner, sparking a mix of opinions.

The pool party vibes continued as Wendy received birthday flowers, leading to spontaneous dance moves. Mia twerked on Keiarna, and the two playfully exchanged jabs, sealing their status as “frenemies.”

Gizelle and Wendy Question Stacey’s Relationship

Back at Mia’s vacation home, Gizelle returned to find herself amid the chaos. Stacey became the center of attention on a bus ride, with Gizelle and Wendy grilling her about her relationship with TJ. Gizelle even pulled up TJ’s IMDb page, questioning the couple’s choice of celibacy before marriage. Wendy, unconvinced, noted in her confessional that Stacey’s story seemed “a little bit odd.”

A High-Stakes Game of FMK and Dinner Revelations

After a visit to Mia’s chiropractic office, the women celebrated Wendy’s birthday with a luxurious lunch, including caviar and a grand “presidential tower.” Gizelle, ever the pot-stirrer, inquired if Keiarna was okay, leading to an intense exchange between her and Mia about past associations with strippers and drug dealers.

The group soon lightened the mood by playing “Fck, Marry, Kill.” Wendy jokingly declared she’d “sleep with Gizelle” to uproarious laughter, hinting at “make-up sex” after their past clashes. Karen continued the humor, dubbing herself Wonder Woman dodging attacks, and Jacqueline made jaws drop by casually remarking that she’d “already fcked Mia,” causing laughter around the table.

Jassi’s Relationship Timeline: “The Math Ain’t Mathing”

The evening’s final bombshell came when Ashley turned the spotlight onto Jassi’s relationship with her NFL fiancé, Darius Harris. Stacey seized the moment to prod Jassi about whether Darius was her future husband. Trying to explain their timeline and his two young children, Jassi stumbled, prompting Mia and Ashley to privately cast doubts. “She’s told me this story eight times, eight different ways,” Mia said in her confessional. Ashley quipped, “Two plus two is not equaling four.”
