Ep 1. You Gotta Make Millions to Owe Millions

The Real Housewives of Potomac season 3 episode 1 kicks off with a bang, as we are reintroduced to six familiar faces and one new addition to the cast. As always, these ladies are living life on the fast lane, juggling personal drama, their careers, families, and friendships, all while maintaining their impeccable style and glamorous lifestyles.

In this season's opening episode, titled "You Gotta Make Millions to Owe Millions," we follow the ladies as they navigate the aftermath of last season's explosive finale, which included a heated confrontation between Karen Huger and Gizelle Bryant. Now, as expected, the women are eager to put the past behind them and move forward, potentially forging new friendships and alliances, all while maintaining their fierce independence and sense of self.

One of the major storylines of this premiere episode revolves around the arrival of newcomer Candiace Dillard, a former Miss United States and fiancée to restaurateur Chris Bassett. Candiace quickly becomes the talk of the town as the ladies try to get to know this bold and outspoken newcomer, who isn't afraid to speak her mind and showcase her talent as a singer and entrepreneur.

Meanwhile, we also get a glimpse into the strained relationships between Charrisse Jackson-Jordan and Monique Samuels who have a history of drama going as far back as season 1. The two continue to bicker over the creative direction of Charrisse's champagne room, in what seems to be a never-ending feud.

Another developing storyline is that of Karen Huger, the self-proclaimed "Grand Dame" of Potomac. After last season's revelations that her husband, Ray, had been facing financial difficulties, Karen is determined to prove that she is still the reigning queen of Potomac. As such, we see her take on a new business venture and work tirelessly to get it off the ground while navigating her family's financial concerns.

On the other hand, Gizelle Bryant, who seems to be on a dating hiatus after her relationship with Sherman Douglas ended abruptly, is focusing on her makeup line, EveryHue Beauty, which she is determined to take to the next level. In this premiere episode, we see Gizelle taking steps to expand her business, even as she juggles motherhood and her ongoing feud with Karen.

Robyn Dixon, who has been a fan favorite since season 1, is back, and she continues to be a supportive friend to her fellow castmates, particularly Monique and Gizelle. We also see a vulnerable side to Robyn as she balances the challenges of raising her children as a single mother and the uncertainty surrounding her relationship with ex-husband, Juan.

Finally, Ashley Darby, the youngest cast member, continues to navigate the ups and downs of her marriage to restaurateur Michael Darby. This time around, Ashley is focused on helping her husband expand their restaurant empire and prove to everyone that they are a formidable team.

Overall, the premiere episode of The Real Housewives of Potomac season 3 promises a season full of drama, glamour, and personal growth, as the ladies continue to navigate their complicated lives in the D.C. social scene.
