What happened in The Real Housewives Of Potomac season 9 episode 8?

The ladies of The Real Housewives of Potomac discussed the previous episode's incident involving Gordon, Mia's ex-husband, who refused to film with Mia and her boyfriend, Inc. The conversation centered around Gordon's mental health condition, bipolar disorder, and how it affects those around him.

Mia opened up to the ladies about her experiences with Gordon, revealing that he had made hurtful comments about her past.

Gordon had previously mentioned his bipolar diagnosis, and the ladies acknowledged the challenges of dealing with someone who has a mental health condition.

"And Gordon, I don't want to cry about it, but he was like, you're an adulterer. She had an abortion by you. I just think that that was really low of him. How dare you tell anybody what I did with my body?" Mia revealed to the ladies.

Gizelle expressed her concerns on The Real Housewives Of Potomac about Mia's situation, feeling that it was too intense and personal. Mia explained that Inc. was willing to remove himself from the situation if he was triggering Gordon's manic episodes.

The conversation then shifted to Karen, who was absent due to her upcoming court case for a DUI charge. Gizelle led the ladies in a prayer for Karen, hoping for a positive outcome.

Meanwhile, Karen was at home, anxiously awaiting news about her court case. It was revealed by her lawyer that the court proceedings were postponed by another four months.

The ladies of The Real Housewives of Potomac reunited to celebrate Wendy's 40th birthday. Mia made a beeline for Wendy's mother, with whom she had previously clashed online.

The tension between them stemmed from a past disagreement, where Mia had made a comment comparing Wendy's mother to a raven, referencing her devout personality.

"I am not a bird. I am a child of birth. I do not fly. What I do, I get up and I pray Holy Ghost. I pray in the name of Jesus," stated Wendy's mother.

Mia acknowledged that she was out of line and apologized for her comments. Wendy's mother also noted that she had always put Mia in her prayers after the incident.

Later, Wendy made a grand appearance at her party as she came by boat.

After all the ladies of The Real Housewives of Potomac congratulated Wendy on her birthday, Gizelle hoped to talk to Mia about her situation.

Gizelle revealed that it was hard for her to believe her when 24 hours later of her crying about Gordon and Inc., she went on to post all three of them together in a photoshoot.
