What can viewers expect from this week's RHOA episode?

Season 15 of RHOA has upped its drama quotient since its premiere aired last week. While the OGs brought their heat, the newcomers didn't hold back. This week will have viewers witness more of the ladies dealing with their personal and professional lives while indulging in much-needed drama.

The official synopsis of the episode, titled Sisters Before Misters, reads:

"Things get awkward at Ross' 40th birthday party when Kenya has words with Shereé's new boo, Martell, causing friction between the two long-time frenemies; Drew returns from Chicago with a new passion project and a renewed spark in her marriage."

The previous week's RHOA episode ended with Courtney's feud with Kandi. The ladies didn't bond well after the former alleged that her castmate "claimed her" as a friend. Kandi, for her part, didn't like the newcomer's energy and got into a heated argument, which will continue this week.

Meanwhile, Sheree was told that her boyfriend Martell was cheating on her with another woman in Atlanta. Kenya also told her that he'd slid into her DMs six months ago, which he later deleted. Martell was eventually confronted about the rumors. He explained how he was always with Sheree when in Atlanta.

In a confessional on RHOA, Sheree said:

"One of Kandi's [friends] has some tea on Martell. I mean, what else would they be doing if they weren't talking about me. They thought it was gonna ruffle my feathers but we're wearing feathers tonight honey, not ruffling them."

Sheree and Martell also spoke to Kandi and Kenya about the DM. He maintained that he'd texted her two years ago and showed his text on the phone as proof. Kandi, however, noted that she'd seen the original message first-hand on Kenya's phone, an incident that was documented last week.

Meanwhile, in another preview clip, Kandi sat down with her husband, Todd Tucker, and her cousin, who came in with a sling in his hand and discussed their restaurant's new menu. However, a RHOA producer "broke the fourth wall" and asked them if they could address the gun violence incident that happened at their restaurant - Blaze Steak & Seafood.

Although the couple refused to discuss it in depth on the show, Kandi clarified in a confessional that one of their employees came to work intoxicated and, during an argument with her cousin, shot the latter.

In the final preview clip of the upcoming RHOA episode, Drew met with a record producer and talked about coming up with her own music, describing the ups and downs of marriage with now ex-husband Ralph Pittman.
