Bit by bit, Cynthia Bailey is making changes to her Lake Bailey home to incorporate her new husband, Mike Hill. At Cynthia's famously tranquil lakeside house, there's a new sign out front bearing both of the newlyweds' names. Mike also has a plush work-from-home setup at the lake house, and the huge couch in the living room is big enough to hold Mike, Cynthia, and a slew of their closest friends. However, there's still one aspect of lakeside living that Mike is struggling to adjust to. 

How to Watch

Watch The Real Housewives of Atlanta on Peacock and the Bravo App.

On the January 10 episode of The Real Housewives of Atlanta, we saw Cynthia and Mike sipping cold water on the dock. But just as the couple started to relax, something startled Mike. "I'm not trying to see a snake around here," the sportscaster said, after hearing something rustle in the bushes. 

Cynthia was quick to assure him. "Oh, you ain't gonna see no snakes around here," the Atlanta mama said. "My sister helped me put Snake Away all around the house." Mike didn't seem entirely comforted.

"Well that means the Snake Away's around the house, keeping snakes away from the house." he said. Gesturing to the watery landscape around him and Cynthia, he pointed out: "This is their home. We're in their home right now!" 

Cynthia had to concede ... he had a pretty good point. "I didn't think about that!" she confessed.
