Anyway, moments after the reunion last season, when Teresa defended her decision not to include Melissa in her wedding, Melissa texted her sister-in-law and told her everything was fine and they should move on. and don’t let that happen. problems. . Teresa, however, never replied. So, two months later, Teresa texted Joe and Melissa, inviting them to her 50th birthday celebration, which was held in Tulum with the “closest people” in her life. They decided not to go because Teresa didn’t even want them at her wedding and she didn’t reply to Melissa’s text. But Melissa invited Teresa to her summer party, which turned out to be an 80s-themed skating event, and Teresa attended, but more on that later.

In Teresa’s new house, you know, the one she shares Louis ride — was busy entertaining Luis’ extended family. She was seen making friends with Luis’s sisters, Veronica AND jennifer, who were invited as bridesmaids to the wedding. But when she and Luis were alone in the kitchen, they talked about how “childish” Joe was at the reunion, but Teresa said it was Melissa’s fault. “He continues [her] together,” Teresa said, while Luis said Joe is “weak” and “immature,” “his insecurities are screaming,” she proclaimed.

After we moved on to Melissa’s skating party, things got a little livelier. This was also the event where viewers were introduced to new cast members, including Margaret’s friend. Jennifer Fesler (a “friend of”), a friend of Teresa Daniela Cabral (full time housewife) and friend of Melissa Raquel Shit (another full-time housewife). As mentioned, many of the cast have not been seen since the reunion, making this their first time back together in two months.

Of course, issues needed to be addressed, and some of the newcomers tried to strike up a conversation with the veterans (Teresa and Margaret, who also fought in the reunion, as well as Dolores and Jennifer), but nothing everyone would be okay with. ‘agreement. Teresa invited Margaret to have cheese and crackers at her house, so she looked promising, but Dolores really didn’t want to talk to Jennifer Aydin and it made her angry.

Dolores, however, wanted all her husbands and boyfriends to pose for a sexy calendar (for charity), so she had to get Jennifer to ask about Bill, but that was the whole conversation. So while they didn’t fix it at Melissa’s party, everyone gathered at Dolores’ house for the calendar photoshoot, so maybe that would have happened there? Well, not exactly.

But before we get to that, we need to talk about Margaret’s visit to Teresa’s house. Teresa told Margaret how hurt she was that everyone was spreading rumors about Luis. And Margarida tried to explain, but Teresa interrupted her, then Luis intervened and scolded her. He told her to shut up and let Margaret do the talking. Margaret said that she and the other ladies were only worried about Teresa and were taking good care of her. Teresa said she is now seeking therapy and she no longer holds a grudge so she wanted to move on but Margaret clarified that she Teresa still holds a grudge against Melissa and Joe. And Teresa said that she is especially angry with them “for” Margaret. She said that when Margaret brought up the rumors about Luis, Melissa and Joe should have stepped in and put an end to it.

Teresa also said she was mad at Melissa for sharing a message of hers with the group last season, and Luis said it shows how “insecure” Melissa is. “She IS an insecure woman if she has to do something like this,” he told a surprised Margaret. Teresa said her message to Melissa was a “test” to see if she would stand by her, but Margaret wondered why Teresa had to “test people.” And Melissa is the “insecure” one… yeah, good. Incredibly, Teresa ended up apologizing to Margaret for how she acted last season, and then she invited her to the wedding. “It’s a big step,” Teresa said of the reconciliation.

But not everyone has had the same kind of luck. Melissa was furious when she overheard Luis calling her “insecure.” Margaret ran and shared this information with Joe and Melissa when they all gathered at Dolores’ house. And Jennifer Aydin was even more frustrated after Dolores decided not to say goodbye. Jennifer told everyone, including the newcomers, how she felt about her, so Rachel decided to share this information with Dolores. And since Dolores wasn’t about to let Jennifer ruin her her event, she pulled her aside to talk. Dolores told Jennifer that she tried to talk to her at the ice rink, but kept walking away from her. Jennifer denied doing such a thing and said Dolores never made eye contact with her. But Dolores said it’s probably because Jennifer keeps telling everyone that she’s “she’s not a good friend.” Jennifer said that’s how she feels, especially after Dolores failed to defend her in her fight with Margaret. Dolores told Jennifer that she really isn’t defensible, so Jennifer told Dolores that they disagree on what she really is a good friend; she said she is “amazing” and Dolores is not. Jennifer said they are not friends and never were before she left, causing a big scene and throwing nasty criticisms at Dolores.
