RHOA -Reset the Trip, Not the Drama
RHOA Season 16, Episode 13 – “Chapter 1: Reset”
Chapter 1: Reset, the ladies prepare for their Grenada trip, but the emotional baggage is heavier than the luggage. Shamea organizes the trip and gets support (and some side-eyes) from friends—including donations from Kelli, Cynthia, Drew, and Porsha—while Britt shows up with just toilet paper. Tensions from past events, like the Bare & Naked party, still linger.
Meanwhile, Porsha and Drew attempt to clear the air at a tense lunch, where accusations, denials, and shady comments fly. Things don’t end well, and Porsha walks out.
Kelli deals with personal heartbreak over co-parenting struggles, while Uncle Lamont steps in to help. At the airport, the group is split into two cars, setting the stage for group dynamics in Grenada.
Once there, room pairings are decided through a game. Conversations about past social media posts, dating rumors, and loyalty issues reignite old drama. The dinner table becomes a battleground of truths, shade, and fragile peace offerings—especially between Drew and Shamea, who confront each other over lap dog comments, loyalty, and accountability.
Angela and Phaedra weigh in, Kelli mediates with her signature real talk, and the night ends with a symbolic leave-it-at-the-table reset… though the energy shift feels more like a slow burn than a fresh start.
