Samantha and Tyrell Make the Call

Jacob and Naomi barely make it through the door before dropping a bomb: they’ve found Samantha and Tyrell’s birth mother, and it’s none other than June. Martin and Smitty are floored and try to pump the brakes, insisting the adults should decide the next move. Unfortunately, the kids overhear just enough to know what’s up. Samantha is curious and wants to meet June, while Tyrell is furious and wants nothing to do with the woman who gave them up. In the end, the siblings present a united front and tell Pops and Dad they’ve decided — they’re meeting their mom.

Kat Turns Down Round Two

Dressed to kill, Kat and Tomas head to Uptown for a sexy salsa class, but their moves are about as hot as a tax audit until the instructor steps in to dance with Kat. Suddenly, she’s moving like a pro, and Tomas is playing catch-up. Eventually, they hit their groove, which leads to a steamy post-shower hookup at her place. Tomas is on cloud nine, declaring it amazing, but Kat’s lukewarm reaction says otherwise. When he suggests going for another round, she practically waves the white flag of disinterest.

Allison Crashes the Party… Again

Madison and Chelsea are finally making progress in their relationship at the country club when Allison swoops in like a wrecking ball. She pitches Chelsea a business idea, gets shot down, then corners Madison with a sob story about Craig. Madison suggests therapy, friends, anything other than her. Later, Allison delivers an ominous warning that Chelsea will break Madison’s heart, prompting Chelsea to threaten a restraining order. You’d think that would be the end, but Allison is later spotted spying on the couple as they kiss at the bar. Somebody needs a hobby.

Eva and Leslie’s Blowout

Leslie calls the supposed inheritance number but hangs up when they start asking for personal details. She tells Eva to stop chasing rainbows, fake or otherwise. Eva has had enough of her mom’s drama and unloads years of frustration. The fight turns ugly when she admits she loves Nicole and despises what Leslie’s games have done to Ted and his family. It’s the kind of gut-punch that might just leave lasting damage.
