NeNe relishes being Gregg's new wife again and settles back into Atlanta after a year of living the glamorous life in Hollywood. Recently engaged Kandi attempts to get closer to the altar with fiancé Todd, but faces unexpected road blocks along the way. She also adds to her growing entertainment empire by producing her first ever musical production, a project which brings all of the ladies together in very surprising ways. Soon-to-be-divorced housewife Porsha faces major setbacks in her life, yet continues to fight valiantly to get back on top. Meanwhile, Kenya battles her landlord over an impending eviction and delves into her family's history, hoping to unlock the secrets from her childhood. Always on the go, Cynthia faces challenges of raising a teen daughter and is surprised by others that are not supportive of her choices. Phaedra resists slowing down with baby number two, studies nonstop to get her mortician's license and supervises Apollo as he tackles remodeling their new home.
