Episode 1 sneak peek

In the sneak peek for episode 1, the entire gang joins in for an evening meeting. The group asks Jassi to introduce herself and her background. She says that she has been living in Potomac for a few years. However, her life as a flight attendant did not allow her to spend much time in the city.

Jassi further shares that she and her "man" Darius Harris just bought a house in the city and are very excited about a new start. When asked what Darius does for a living, she tells all the ladies that he is an NFL player who plays for the Kansas City Chiefs.

Since Taylor Swift's current boyfriend Travis Kelce also plays for the team, Wendy had to ask, if she met the pop star. Jassi nodded yes and Wendy was delighted and wanted to know the details of their meeting.

The housewives then shift the focus to the person who is "fashionably late" to the meeting, Karen. The group discusses their castmate's whereabouts and Stacey shares that Karen had called her.

Mia reveals it was a drunk call, and Stacey adds that Karen was "tipsy" on the call. However, these were all Stacey's speculations, and she admits she doesn't know for sure if Karen was really drunk on the phone.
