Nearly everybody on this week’s episode of Love & Hip Hop Atlanta was ready to start a war in one way or another.

Momma Dee thinks she can have her wedding cake and eat it too, Joseline is intent on pushing her career forward without Stevie J and Jessica Dime dishes out the ultimate disrespect to a very unsuspecting Mimi. The only one who seemed to be about keeping the peace this time around, surprisingly, was Kirk.

Sound backwards? Allow us to explain. Here’s this week’s LHHATL recap.

Scrappy later talks to Bambi about Momma Dee’s fast approaching wedding plans and asks her why she didn’t tell him that she and Erica were both asked to be bridesmaids. Bambi says that she’s learned not to discuss Erica with Scrappy when they are feuding over custody issues because it causes trouble in their relationship. Momma Dee walks in as they are talking and Scrappy tells her that he is in agreement with his sister’s feelings that she and Ernest are moving too fast. Despite Momma Dee pleading with Scrappy to walk her down the aisle no matter what, Scrappy maintains that he will not be in attendance if Erica has anything to do with the wedding.

Joseline meets with a group of industry promoters who offer her the opportunity to perform at an LGBT charity event benefitting an organization that provides resources for crisis and suicide prevention. Joseline tells them about her own difficult childhood in Puetro Rico, revealing that her family was not accepting of her being openly bisexual. She begins to tear up as she admits that although she’s never been suicidal over struggles relating to her sexuality, she acknowledges that there are many people in the LGBT community who do struggle with suicidal thoughts and would therefore greatly benefit from hearing her story of being able to overcome it all and live her dreams of becoming a performer.

Kalenna and Tony meet with a therapist after Kalenna reveals that she’s been officially diagnosed with postpartum depression. The therapist reassures her that because of the hormones caused by pregnancy, the feelings that Kaleena is experiencing are completely normal and very common in many women. Kalenna expresses frustration over being made to feel like she has to choose between having a career and being a good mother. She says she strives to excel in her career so that her sons can have the best in life and also admits that she fears for her sons becoming victims of gun violence or police brutality if she doesn’t provide them with a better lifestyle than what is considered “average.” Tony realizes how much Kalenna needs his support as he listens to her talk about what she’s going through and admits that he feels bad about not having been there for her more prior to the diagnosis.

Momma Dee visits Erica to ask her to step down from being a bridesmaid because of Scrappy’s opposition to her participating in the wedding. When she also tells Erica that Scrappy has gone as far as to say that he won’t even attend the wedding if Erica is in it, Erica agrees to back out out of respect for Momma Dee. Erica asks Momma Dee if she would still go forward with the wedding if neither of her children showed up for the ceremony and she admits that she’s not sure if she’d be able to go through with it without their support.
