“I’m still on board to freeze my eggs. I just really want to get past the trust issues,” she shared in a confessional.

Kendra added that her goal was to bring a child into a “family structured environment,” and that's why she had been hesitant to take the next step.

As this episode of Love & Hip Hop: Atlanta continued, Bambi brought up the topic of her new relationship. She asked the group if it felt “weird” to see her with someone else, knowing her past with Scrappy. Ashley replied that it didn’t feel strange and said she was always “team Bambi.”

Lil Zane, however, gave a different response. He said it did feel "weird," because he was used to seeing her with his “dawg,” referring to Scrappy. Later in the day, Ashley had a conversation with Lil Zane about Karlie. She brought up the hotel room key incident again, saying she “really wanted to know” what had happened.

Lil Zane explained that it was an old situation which happened years ago, and that he never got involved with Karlie. In a confessional, he said.

“I think Ashley is making too much of this room key story."

He also told Ashley that he had no plans of crossing that line and that he never “hooked up” with Karlie. Ashley, however, remained frustrated and said she was tired of Karlie being “fake.” While the episode included moments with the group singing welcome songs and reconnecting, these conversations between the cast members showed that some tensions were still present during the retreat.
