What happened in The Real Housewives Of Potomac season 9 episode 12?

The latest episode started off with the continuation of Jacqueline arriving at Karen’s Love Lagoon party unexpectedly. Jacqueline stated that she wanted to bring "peace, love and light" to the cast members and gave them balloons for each citation that Karen got in her DUI case.

While the housewives were confused by the events, Mia eventually walked out of the property with Jacqueline.

Later, The Real Housewives Of Potomac cast took a trip to Panama. Wendy got a mixed reaction when she announced that the resort she booked for them was two hours away from the airport.

On the ride to the resort, Mia expressed her delight at how Ashley was handling her divorce. Ashley revealed that she was "really into" Josh and added:

"I like him a lot. It gets a little scary. I haven't liked anyone this much since Michael," revealed Ashley.

As the ladies sat down for dinner, Gizelle confronted Jacqueline for coming to Karen's party unannounced. Jacqueline explained that her intentions were good and the balloons were symbolized as citations so that they could be released away from her.

She also revealed that her gesture was "symbolism" as she extended the metaphorical olive branch towards Karen.

"I said I want to lift that weight because it was heavy on your heart and cast away all the negativity that are associated with those citations," said Jacqueline.

Karen didn't feel the same as she intervened and expressed that since she took the safety of her family seriously, she didn't appreciate Jacqueline's trespassing on her property.

The Real Housewives Of Potomac cast members were left shocked when Karen revealed that she had begun the process to press charges.

Karen also stated that releasing the balloons into the atmosphere was illegal which started a chain of laughter among the cast members of The Real Housewives Of Potomac. Mia pointed out that Karen did the same a few years ago in celebration of her mother's birthday.

This prompted Jacqueline to apologize for barging into the party but she refused to apologize for the message she was trying to bring.

Everyone later wondered how Jacqueline even got Karen's address. The ladies were convinced that Mia must have given Jacqueline the information, but she quickly addressed the situation and claimed that she wasn't involved in doing so.
