Ep 6. Boundaries, Bayous and Beignets

The Real Housewives of Potomac season 4 episode 6, "Boundaries, Bayous and Beignets," follows the drama and excitement of the women as they venture to New Orleans for Monique's upcoming podcast appearance. The trip brings forth both new friendships and a series of conflicts among the ladies.

One particular point of tension arises between Karen and Gizelle. Karen, who is still grieving the loss of her parents, is reluctant to stay in the same hotel that Gizelle has booked for the group. Karen expresses to Gizelle that she would feel more comfortable staying elsewhere, but Gizelle insists that the hotel is the best option. This disagreement leaves the two at odds and sparks a heated argument.

Meanwhile, Monique is busy preparing for her podcast appearance, but her husband Chris becomes concerned when he feels as though she's taking on too much. Chris is worried about Monique's recent car accident and wants to make sure that she's not overextending herself. Monique, on the other hand, feels as though she can handle everything and is frustrated by Chris's concern.

Another source of frustration arises when the ladies take a tour of the city, which ends up being more focused on food than history. Ashley expresses that she's disappointed by the lack of culture, while Robyn and Monique enjoy the food and the camaraderie. Despite the differing opinions, all of the women continue to enjoy the beauty and energy of New Orleans.

Later, Candiace and Ashley's friendship hits a bump in the road. Candiace, who has been struggling with her marriage, confides in Ashley about her issues with Chris. However, Ashley takes Candiace's words to heart and decides to share the information with Monique. Candiace is hurt by Ashley's lack of discretion and confronts her about the breach of trust.

The episode wraps up with the women coming together for a lively discussion about the conflicts that have arisen on their trip. They talk about the challenges of balancing friendships and drama and reflect on the importance of setting boundaries. As the trip comes to a close, the women say goodbye to NOLA and head back to Potomac, with new memories and a fresh perspective on their friendships.
