Vince's girlfriend opens up about how difficult it is having a promoter as a boyfriend and she can't do it long term. Vince realizes that if he can't make it through the summer with Jessica, he might never have a girlfriend.
After showing off his new penis art installation to one of our new favorite Bravo housekeepers, Jay asks Phillips for some help with his business -- can she make some uniforms for his company?
Phillips is a little weary of Jay's perfectionism and doesn't seem all too enthusiastic about making a uniform, but she's always willing to help a friend. That's why it's curious later when she doesn't reply to his team's e-mails. . .
At dinner with the gang, Hamidah is less than impressed with Pascale as the two ladies immediately get prickly with each other. Off to a good start for the summer we see.
Tara had to get her whisper on since her new boyfriend was standing too close for comfort as she talked about her hopes for their future. Totally a good sign.
Vince might be in hot water when his business partner raises his concerns about his girlfriend Jessica getting jealous at a club. This could be a problem. . .
The gang meets up for veterinarian Tara's charity event to help animals in need, so naturally they brought along their furry friends. Note that Phillips is matching with Nigel Barker in her dog/owner clothing line 'Attention Seeking Behavior.'
Pascale and Phillips try to find outfits for Vince's White Party they say is so "P. Diddy in 1998." When nothing is really standing out, Pascale realizes she might have to go in a different direction. . .
It's time for the White Party, but Jay is less than impressed. He's starting to second guess the quality he'll be getting from Vince, and isn't sure if he wants his help on his own hard hat bash.
Jay Michael is excited to get so much interest from press in his property development, but there's just so much real estate competition in Chicago. He thinks a hard hat party in the raw space will make his property stand out -- and wants party planner Vince to help throw it.
Pascale meets up with her mom -- one of the only ladies in Chicago that actually does like her -- to discuss her difficult transition back to her hometown.
Hamidah agrees to meet up with Pascale, but she wants to be very clear -- she doesn't do shady. But when Pascale explains that she was just acting out of insecurity when they first met, Hamidah is willing to be cordial.
Vince tries to check in with Jay about planning his hard hat party, but then Jay drops the bomb: he doesn't want Vince to throw it. What's that saying about not mixing friends and business?
And as if one friendship was being threatened by a business deal, Vince is thrown for a loop at his rooftop party when Jay claims he didn't want to work with someone with such a bad reputation.
Speaking of relationship differences, Ray checks in with Hamidah about their distance during the week, and realizes that their partnership may be on the road to ruin.
His girlfriend Hamidah opens up and finally breaks down about feeling like she's "driving the f---ing bus into the g--d--- wall." Ray realizes that something needs to change.
When Vince's sexual history comes up, Pascale keeps thinking back to rumor about Vince cheating on his girlfriend. Should she tell anyone else, or keep it to herself?
Jay just wishes Phillips would have told him from the beginning that she couldn't do this work. Between her and Vince, he's pretty much done doing business with friends.
And as the game of telephone goes, this rumor got back to Vince -- and he is pissed! He doesn't understand what he did to Jay, but it's clear these two have some major beef.
Meanwhile, Ray works on being a better boyfriend by getting out on the ice for the first time with his girl Hamidah. Luckily he didn't break anything while repairing their relationship.
Later, things got real in a bathroom brawl as Vince's girlfriend, Jessica, attacked Pascale for telling everyone about the rumor and being a "f---ing snake!" You could say she was a little mad. . .
But if Pascale thought the confrontation with Jessica was bad, she definitely wasn't prepared to be face to face with Vince. Not only did he call her reckless, but pretty much killed this messenger's spirit with his words.
While Vince tries to console a crying Pascale he can't help but point out that she is in the wrong for not being honest with him. The fashion designer finally breaks and walks away. Could this be the end of a years long friendship?
Phillips and Tara get to together to discuss the bathroom brawl between Pascale and Vince's girlfriend Jessica. Phillips isn't sure if Pascale should be trusted -- Paul Revere's of the world do get shot you know?
And Pascale is no fool -- she can feel that these Chicago singles aren't so happy to see her. To Pascale, it's just like middle school and the cool kids are talking about her.
Jay and Pascale get together after the party and Jay suggests that she should just tell everyone to "shut the f--- up!" No wonder no one wants to approach him about his part in the rumor, this Mid-Westerner tell it like it is.
In the midst of her friendship woes, Pascale and her mother try to get their jewelry off the ground. While they don't quite make the sale, Pascale is confident that focusing on her work will pay off.
Pascale gets a rude awakening when she finds out that Phillips was so embarrassed by her behavior that she's is done with their friendship. Remind us not to get into fights in a bathroom when Phillips is around.
When Vince tries to make amends for their blow-up the other night, Pascale wants nothing to do with it and gives Vince the brush off. She done with the drama.
Tara meets up with Vince in the Chicago sun and learns that this party boy is going to have a live in girlfriend. She decides that if this bachelor can settle down, it's time for her and Mark to move in together.
No, Pascale's not smiling because her and Vince are friends again. She decided to put all that drama behind and it paid off! Her jewelry will soon be distributed.
Jay explains that his clock is ticking and he's going to have kids with or without a partner. But his handsome pal has a few good points -- is a baby the answer or some nasty fun?
Vince is caught between a friend and a girlfriend when Tara invites the pair up to her cabin -- where Pascale will be. And we all know how well those two ladies get along. Bathroom brawl, anyone?
Pascale learns that Vince will most likely be absent from Tara's cabin trip and can't believe that this drama is still continuing. Her life does not revolve around Vince. . .just maybe this summer.
And this goes about as well as you would think. Not only does she not want to go, she's upset that he would even ask her. Basically Vince, don't mention Pascale to your girlfriend. Ever.
But in the end, Vince realizes that he really wasn't there for his friend in this difficult time and apologizes -- and it's a good thing. We're pretty sure he's not match for this former footballer.
And finally, Vince and Pascale, who have been at odds all summer since the bathroom brawl, finally were able to salvage their friendship. They've been close too long to not move on.
In the beginning, Hamidah thought Pascale was a "snake in the grass." Who knew these former frenemies would become besties? Oh, that's right. Jay Michael.
Jay tells his housekeeper Lucy about his plans for a surrogate and learns she's willing to volunteer! (We think there might have been some miscommunication here).
