Little Women: Atlanta recap

Little Women: Atlanta Recap: You Got Served

On Little Women: Atlanta, the Great Wing Debate rages on.

In case you missed it, we ended last week’s episode with a puffed up Minnie Ross bringing her mom to do her dirty work at a meeting with Ms. Juicy. Minnie barely got in a few words of her own before her mom threw a whole plate of chicken wings on Ms. Juicy and stomped out. Now here we are, picking up the proverbial chicken wing pieces off the floor and wondering why a good plate of food had to go to waste (well, maybe you aren’t but I know I am).

Little Women: Atlanta recap

Amanda and Andrea Salinas are trying to spruce up their place with a new coat of paint when Minnie, who seems to be inhaling some paint fumes of her own, shows up to spill the tea about her mom/daughter appetizer ambush of Ms. Juicy. Minnie thinks this is hilarious now that she’s in a safe place without anyone who will question her. The Twins want to know if she has told Pastor Troy about her miscarriage yet and Minnie says she hasn’t found the right time and doesn’t want to ruin their friendship. Hold up, friendship? Yep, that’s what she said.

Over to someone with more important things to do, Ms. Juicy is working her gig as a radio personality on the Ricky Smiley Morning Show and we get a little glimpse as to why she calls herself the Queen of Atlanta. She meets her PR team, who is sending her to Black Bike Week in Myrtle Beach so she can host an event. Obviously, this translates into a convenient excuse for a cast trip but I’m not mad – time to take this drama on the road.

Minnie goes to Pastor Troy’s storage unit studio and finally tells him that she “believes” she had a miscarriage. I guess she still isn’t sure if she did or didn’t because that is an interesting choice of words. It might also explain why the other ladies are having such a hard time believing what Minnie says. Pastor Troy pretends to be surprised and asks if she wants to try again for another baby, then gives her a hand slap/fist bump, saying he would make it happen.

This is definitely not how two people in a sexual relationship behave – he’s treating Minnie like she’s one of his boys. Minnie misses that red flag and asks if they are in a relationship now. Pastor Troy blames being in the studio for not being able to commit and the bottom line is: no, he’s not going to be in a relationship with Minnie now or anytime soon. So, you’re not going to keep up the charade of a fake relationship now that you don’t have a fake pregnancy together? Just wanted to be clear.

Bri Barlup meets her friend, Melissa, a little person runway model, at the gym to do an intense cardio class. I’m exhausted just watching them! After the class, they sit down to chat and Melissa reads us her resume and provides us with some valuable runway tips. Melissa is looking for friends and Bri, bless her heart, says she has some to introduce her to. Melissa senses there is more to the girls than Bri is letting on but once she’s invited to Myrtle Beach, she decides she’s willing to take the trip to find out for herself.

Arriving safely in Dallas, The Tiny Twins are home and reunited with family and Andrea’s son. Brisket is served and damn, every time I watch this show, I’m ready to eat. Talk turns to whether or not Andrea’s boyfriend, Chris, is going to step up to the plate and be a good father (again). Andrea’s dad has his eye on Chris and specifically tells him that. Chris blinks and stares off into space.  

The next day, as the twins take Andre to the playground, we find out that Andrea and Chris got into a huge fight and Chris up and left in the middle of the night. Amanda consoles her sister and promises to always be there to help her.

Ms. Juicy, Bri, and Monie Cashette go shopping for biker gear. Ms. Juicy, showing more of that special brand of true shade, has invited Minnie because she has a little surprise for her. Why did I clap my hands together in excitement over that?? The ladies are ready to turn up and Ms. Juicy promises mens mens mens. Well then, you can count me in in in!

Back to the twins, who are busy baby clothes shopping. Chris shows up, saying he just went to visit his mom. He’s missing the bigger issue that Andrea is worried he’s going to leave her, like he did last time. She starts crying and Chris tries to stutter through a reassurance. He finally kisses her and the camera cuts to Amanda sucking her teeth and rolling her eyes, which is exactly how I feel.

Now for the update I’ve been waiting for! Bri and Minnie video chat with Emily Fernandez so she can give us an update on how she’s doing with baby JJ. Unfortunately, JJ’s airways are too small and he needs to have surgery. Poor Emily is emotional and it’s so sad to see her friends not be able to comfort her.

Minnie gets a call from her mom, Tammie, to come over. Turns out, she was served with a restraining order, thanks to her little chicken wing stunt. Now all the tee-heeing and laughing has stopped and Tammie has the nerve to be mad, huh? Minnie says she’s so mad over the whole thing, she could do just about anything right now. Uhhh, anything but stand up for your damn self in the first place.

Minnie says she’s going to go jump in her car and beat Ms. Juicy’s azz and I can’t help but give the Amanda teeth suck/eye roll combo to that statement. Minnie is real bold when she’s with her mom but I would like to see that same boldness when she is on her own. She thinks maybe shouldn’t go to bike week now and Tammie tells her she’s going and that’s that. Damn, Minnie is getting bossed from all angles.

Ms. Juicy, Bri, Melissa and Monie are all driving up to Myrtle Beach together and Juicy is ready to gossip to help fill up the five hour car ride. She reveals she served Minnie’s mom with a restraining order and no one seems particularly concerned. In Amanda’s car, Minnie is busy revealing the same thing so now everyone is aware of what they’re walking into on this trip.

Once everyone arrives at the house Ms. Juicy rented, they barely have time to set their things down before Minnie and Amanda arrive and Minnie is ready to get this restraining order issue with Juicy underway. Meanwhile, she can’t even confront Ms. Juicy without getting all teary eyed. Ms. Juicy holds her ground, tells Minnie that what her mom did was wrong and disrespectful and Minnie doesn’t have much to come back with. Where’s all that a** beating she was talking about? Monie jumps in to explain to Minnie that she probably wound up her mom and she’s part of the problem.

Minnie and Amanda retreat to their room and I’m relieved this fight is over – I was having a hard time concentrating with Ms. Juicy’s flaming hot Cheetos head topper. I’m sure this isn’t the end of this conversation and I am looking forward to seeing if the sun and sand of Myrtle Beach does anything to relax the growing tensions in the group.
