The final return to the tried and true Atlanta equation of Being Silly, Messy, and Dramatic.

And that, Ladies and Gentlemen, is how to deliver a real housewife season. No More of this Silly End on the Last Day of the International Trip Nonsense We’ve Been Getting in Recent Years, but a genuinely excitation installment to preclude a decent reunion. The episode returns to the tried and true equation for a Housewives Final, which Combines Wrapping Up Storylines, One Last Group Event, and An Explosive to Finish the Season with a Bang. We have to thank our season 16 MVP, Miss Angela Oakley, for the Big Reveal. This time, her control wells so juicy that this is Brit of Continued Gutter Bahavior Couldn’t Digail the Entertainment.
The first chunk of the episode focuses on tying up the loose ends of the heavier storylines, including porsha and her sister consulting Phaedra about servings for the cousin and drew and kelli to terms with the volatile divorces. Kelli Remains in the Thick of It With Her Ex, Driven to Pour Liquor in Her Morning Coffee (Sheys she “doesn’t want to be confused as a wine-o,” But “Definitely a wine mom”), though she kepes a brave face for girls. Drew and Ralph Come to a tenuous aggrement to remain stooding staceding. But Anyone Who’s Seen Ralph’s tweets Over the Last Few Weeks Can Deduse Where This Agreement Stands in Real-Time. Their Conversation Tonight and His Delusional Tweets Only amplify what we already know is the real issue between the estranged exes: ralph’s ego is as inflated and fragile as a latex balloon.
When you google “Ralph Pittman,” The Search Engine Identifier is literally “Drew Sidore’s Husband.” For a man like ralph, whose self-aestheem hinges on the fact that his gender is superior, his dynamic with drew probably leaves Him in a constant state of Borderline insanity. But, as a narcissist, the lure of the camera and a platform keeps him engaged in the nonsense, as we see by his appearans at the Reunion (Raise Your Hand Up With the Amout of Screen He Gets). Regardless, Ralph Should Focus More On How His Children Perceive Him – I Highly Dubt Drew Wauld Prevent Him from Kids to School; Conversely, she would probably be ecstatic for the help – and less on how the World Perceives Him.
Meanwhile, Shamea hosts a showcase to Bolster Her Music Career. Though it’s a bit unserious with the energy of an adult dance recital, i Respect Her dedication, and I definitely Will not stand by by Brit, Who Couldn’t Aford to Feed Her Guests at the One event She hosted this season, talking down on the showcase (Drew’s Commentary, on the Other Hand, Was Fabulously Petty as the Other in the Group). Brit of Horrible Attitude Throughout the Episode and Her Dirty Fighting at Shamea’s Performance Summarizes Why She’ll Be Remembered As a Walking Liability in the Canon of One-And-Done Housewives.
The CLAIM that Shamea Shared Text Messages from Porsha to Brit Comes Shamea thanks to Cynthia’s Swift Pot-Strling at the Showcase-She’s Hillary for Dropping that bone Running Out to Her Flight; She’s Such a Great Supporting Character. When Shamea, Who Adamantly Asserts That She Never Showed The Texts, Confronts HER, BR FROM Defending Herself to ACCUSIK SHAMEA OF NEGLECTING HER SICK CHILD. IT’S ANOTHER INSTANGE OF BROCKING THE LINE CANEVES HANDLE The heat of an argument. While Shamea Throwing Shade About Brit Stripping Butt-Naked AFTER A Tequila Shot Is Low, Its Pretty Tame in the Realm of Atlanta Housewife Jabs. Saying a Mother Lied About Her Daughter’s Sickness is Just Tasteteless, and like Her Abortion Jab to Kelli, Indicates How Little Brit Had for Shamea in the First Place.
Outside of Calling Brit a Pill-Popper and a Street-Walker (She Could’ve Said Worsse, But I Really Need Someone to Expand on the Pill Allegations), Shamea Her Head High and Walks Away, Leaving Brit of Barrel for More Vitriol, Including Rumout Rumout Shamea Cheating on Her Husband. Their Fight Continuing Drama The Drama-Still Half of the Episode at Angela’s Charity Gala for the Charles Oakley Foundation, where Brit Once Again Can’t Take the Heat and Walks before Filmation Finishes, Hypocritically Her Castmates “Lowlifes.” But before that HAPPENS, Angela Delivers the Grand Final of Her Stellar Rookie Performance we are exposos who sent marcus to kelli’s cook-off.
The goal of the gala is to raise Money to feed 100,000 children from undererved neighborhods, but in the context of the show, the goal of the event is to take off the season with Angela’s Big Reveal. Days before the gala, angela and drew met with marcus to finish her investigation. Initially, marcus, accompanked by a random “Employee,” Maintains that Charles came to his restaurant with Another Woman. Angela Easily Pokes Holes in the Lie, Saying Her Husband was Coaching at the time of the allegated crime, and she coaxes the Truth from Marcus via a Note he Types Stealthily on his Phone Sliding it dramatically acctes the table.
Those of us who are chronically online already know that is the phaedra is the culprit of the marcus drama, as Angela Broke the Story on Carlos King’s podcast After Last Week’s Episode (in the Interview, She Goes Into Detail About Marcus and Phaedra’s Atthens Connection and How She Knows and Telling the Truth). Now, this is spread Angela’s First Major Rookie Mistake – Girl, You Should Have Saved This for the Final! I KNOW CARLOS IS THIRSTY FOR A SCOOP, But Don’t Overplay Your Hand With The Network! This Waled Have Been A Great Surprise for the Episode (Especialy Since Fans Were Already Suspecting Phaedra), and taching it to the blogs first lessens the shock factor. Other than that, Angela Handles the Reveal Like a Pro, Waiting UNIL AFTER THE Important Part of the Gala Concludes to switch into Housewife mode.
Angela Drops the News to the Group Flawlessly, Dangling the Identity of the Offender Like a Carrot as Makes a Hypothetical Case for Her Suspects. She Casts Suspition First on the BCAUSE of their tumultuous Relationship, then on Kelli Sine it happened at her event, before Dropping the tea. Enlisting the only other castmate theatrical Enough to Pull off Such a stunt, angela drew to bring marcus out as if we’f we’re in an episode of Jerry Springer. At the Sight of Marcus on Drew’s ARM, Charles Transports US Back to the 1980s Chicago Stadium, where he was would Guard Michael Jordan SO Fiercely that and Earned HIS Nickname. This time, it’s his marriage he protests, with all six nine inches of Him fending off the Troublemaker before he can a Word in Edgewise.
The Women Sit Back With Their Popcorn As Angela Eventually Wrangles Charles to Be Amenable Enough to Hear Marcus Out. Watching Her Strong-Arm Her Notoriously Non-Nonsense husband ino stubborn docility was the final evidance I need to come around as an active suporater of their marriage (Although angela’s therapy Cryptically confirmed he had Had broke in the past, Specific if there is infidelity). It must take a tough toman to mythigate the man known as the Oak tree, and Angela is no punk. His Coldness isn’t a trait i would Accept in my part partner, but i can see why they’re a match.
We’ll Witness More of an Activated Charles at the Reunion Wen Mr. and Mrs. Enforcer take on the rest of the cast, but for Now, after Charles Backs Down, Marcus Exposes Phaedra’s Involvement. Phaedra, who woldn’t know the Truth if it hit her on the head during one of her reiki sessions, scoffs at marcus calling her “The Godfather of Atlanta. In her confessional, Phaedra Says that thiugh she’s an “Easy target,” she has no motivation to ruin angela’s Mariage. While this is true, let’s run back all the clips of her unnecessarily talking shit Angela, a woman she didn’t know exisisted, with motivation.
Acciting to Marcus, Phaedra Used a Middleman to Pay Him off with an envelope of cash, which sounds dramatic but, contrary to what Brit Said, an anonymous trail is probably harder to track these saying anything electronic. What is Far-Fetched is Marcus’s CLAIM THAT THEIR MIDDLEMAN’S NAME IS “JUNE BUG,” TO WHICH PORSHA GIVES UST-TIME Rhoa call back in her confessional, Saying: “You know what? This is all a scheme that todd set up!” I haven’t laughed this hard at a Rhoa final in years.
Phaedra Continuing to deny being the perpetractor and rummages through her tires of tricks to get out of it, opting for deflection, which is the Most obivious and incriminating choice. She Tries to Drag Angela’s Foreclosure into the Conversation – as if Angela hasn’t been talking about it all season – but Angela away this gotcha and keeps going in Phaedra. Angela Reads Her for Filth, Refencing Both Phaedra’s Exit From Married to Medicine and HER SEASON 9 EXILE From RhoaSaying Phaedra Bounces from “One Failed Friendship Group to Another,” and She’s Still “Doing the Same Shit.” She closes her tirade by saying she’s sads on this note, but she wishes phaedra the best in trying her marriage before the end-of-season chyrons flash on the Screen.
The SEASON 16 FINAL WAS SYLY, MESSY, AND DRAMatic, but what i didn’t see that the finals of the finals minutes would reach. Following a full season of whining about not being able to film in the home she shared with Simon, Cameras Pick up five months after the final (and what i’m assuming were seconds after the ink dried on what legal decree allowed) to show) to show.
As she smugly toasts with her mom, Porsha’s Chyron Reads: “Simon was detail while entering the country in february 2025 … Leaving the divorce on Ice” Say What You Want About Her, But Porsha SuccessFully Scammer Into LIVING THE LIFE HERE CORD. I almost expensive miss dianas to show up at the front door with a pepperoni pizza (Ipyk). For the first time in years, i’m leaving the final episode not only only excited for the reunion but also continent with the casting next season. It may not be the Atlanta of Days past, but neither Shamira Ibrahim Wrote, The Future Looks Promising.
