Season 17, Episode 6: “Clam Baked in Controversy”
As the episode begins, we hear an upbeat music as the sun sets in Nantucket, before the cameras quickly zoom through Daphne’s family estate, where we see all the Ladies in their rooms getting ready. We watch as the camera pans to Billie who now has her own room, before shifting to Polly who is sharing with Teairra. The scene then shifts, as it begins, and we see guests arriving to Daphne’s home for the party to begin…
Daphne’s Confessional: Who doesn’t love a good Clam Bake? I mean seafood and champagne? I think for once these ladies might just enjoy the food and the beverages and leave each other alone. Daphne crosses her fingers. Here’s to hoping!
We then watch as we see Erica strut into the clam bake…
Erica’s Confessional: I’ve never been to a clam bake before, where I’m from its all seafood boils and crabs however I’m hoping that the food will be great and will cool the girls down some, especially my sister Billie.
Daphne: Daphne spots Erica and walks over. Oh hey, looking good! Daphne smiles. So, did you enjoy your day? What did you girls do?
Polly: Polly walks out. There’s other people here?! Oh wow.
We then watch as Teairra walks in right behind Polly…
Teairra’s Confessional: I don’t know if I heard clam bake or glam bake but either one I’m dressed for it! I’m hoping that today is full of fun! That’s what we’re here for right? Well, most of us.
Erica: It was an amazing start to the day, I have to say I love your wine cellar. What did you girls get into?
Daphne: Oh, thank you. We just relaxed and lounged by the pool, the sea view always calms me down.
Teairra: Teairra takes a champagne and sips as she walks around. Well, this is definitely cute.
Polly: Where are the clams?
The camera then pans as we see Billie and Amal walking down the staircase together towards the party, the last of the Ladies to arrive…
Amal: Amal passes the waiters. Oh yes, a glass of champagne. Thank you lovey!
Daphne: Oh, girl, wow! What an entrance! Daphne claps.
Billie: Billie walks up to Daphne. VA VA VOOM, look at Amal!
Amal: Hello ladies! I see I’m the only one who got the memo that there would be aristocrats and eligible bachelors in our midst.
Daphne’s Confessional: Amal is dressed in this super sexy dress, like she’s going to some gala and we’re just at my house having clams and champs! Daphne laughs. You’ve gotta love her!
Erica: This view back here is amazing!
Daphne: Yes, Amal! Lots of aristocrats. Daphne laughs. I might even arrange your marriage for you, after all that’s how my parents met honey.
Polly: I didn’t get any memo, just a warm bottle of wine in my room and a chocolate on my pillow which I laid on and had to then wash out of my hair.
Amal’s Confessional: Now what the? Amal looks around. What are these girls wearing? Billie looks like she’s ready for her first communion, Erica is giving chaperon at a school dance, Daphne looks like a dragged out version of Steven Tyler, Teairra is giving catholic high school slut and Polly? Lord knows what she’s wearing.
Amal: Well regardless girlies, you all look drop dead gorgeous. Just stunning… Amal sips on champagne and turns to Teairra. Miss Teairra!!! You better not bend over, or the clams won’t be the only fish we’ll be eating tonight.
Daphne: Well, great to see we’re all in a much better mood now. This morning was… something.
Erica: Hun we’re in massnutten, I don’t think I’m really checking for these boys. Erica laughs.
Teairra: Amal girl please. Teairra laughs. But you look fab! Is that an iguana on your dress?
Amal: Billie and I found ourselves a cute pool boy earlier. I hear Billie may or may not have offered to blow him in the pool shed.
Polly: Oh wow, that’s something.
Amal: I believe it is a lizard… Amal looks down. But don’t pull at it or all my bits will be out!
Daphne: Honey, it’s a crocodile! Daphne laughs.
Billie: Billie laughs. Amal you’re such a mess. I do like my younger guys! They just have so much more fun. The only type I don’t like is the married ones. Billie winks.
Polly: How do you know all of these people then Daphne? There’s a lot of people here today.
Daphne: Well, I used to spend every summer here Polly, a lot of them are family friends and some are just neighbors. Daphne smiles. Between my mother and my father’s families, I know a lot of people, yes. Daphne laughs a bit.
Erica: Erica sips her champs. Daphne have they ever tried to arrange you with anyone?
Teairra: I was just about to ask the same thing!
Amal: As in like an arranged marriage?
Erica: Well, yes! She said that’s how her parents met or am I mistaken?
Daphne: No, no they haven’t. Given that they went through it themselves my parents know that it’s not an ideal situation… Daphne hesitates. Of course, they love and care for each other now but… it wasn’t love at first sight.
Erica: Understandable, at least they made the best of it. A lot of us ladies went for love and left single. Just look at Amal! Erica looks over at Amal checking herself out.
Billie: Billie laughs. Hell, after a weekend in Nantucket I might leave here a married woman!
Teairra: Teairra almost spits out her drink at Erica’s comment. Oh my god, what Erica? Teairra laughs.
Polly: Marriage isn’t for everyone. But it certainly can make someone!
Daphne: Yes, they learned from their parents’ mistakes. But hey, my mother is a countess and since she couldn’t pass her title down to her kids, they wanted her to marry well. Daphne shrugs. What can I say? Aristocrats are weird.
Amal: My only piece of advice about marriage is to just make sure the man likes fish tacos and not sizzling sausages, if you know what I mean.
Daphne’s Confessional: My parents’ marriage wasn’t exactly one of love, it was more of a business transaction. Don’t get me wrong, they love each other now, but at first it was just an agreement between their families.
Billie: Billie laughs. Amal, shut the hell up! I can’t take it with you. Them tequila shots are catching up with you
Daphne: Well, honey, wouldn’t you take a test ride before marrying him?
Erica: I sure did, and that ride was tall honey! Talllll…
Polly: If you smell like fish honey, then there’s a problem!
Amal: That’s not the case in my culture. I’m from a traditional Muslim family and you know, that’s just not what our courting process entails. There was no humping; dry or otherwise.
Teairra: So you marry them first and then ride? What if you don’t like what they’re supplying? Teairra stares at Amal.
Erica: Then you flee to Twitter, duh!
Amal: You end up single and dressed in a slutty black dress with a cobra clip. Amal laughs.
Daphne: Ladies, I think the tables are all set, shall we go sit? I’m sure you’re hungry with how much you’ve been drinking! Daphne smiles as she leads the ladies to a table.
We then watch as all the Ladies sit down around a table, as an awkward tension fills the group, and we focus back in…
Billie: So, I guess as the eldest in the group, I guess it’s my responsibility to address the elephant in the room.
Erica: I think we’ve done enough listening to Billie for a day.
Teairra: Teairra sits down at the table between Polly and Erica and crosses her legs. Chile…
Erica: Erica looks down at the display of seafood and whispers to Teairra. They don’t season seafood around here? Erica cuts into her lobster.
Billie: Erica, I don’t need you being a bitch right now and killing my buzz. I just wanted to say, I’m sorry for my outburst this morning. I’ve been dealing a lot of stress with the preplanning of my pilot and what not. It’s flowed over into my personal life. Teairra, I wanted to say I’m sorry for invading your personal space and putting my hands on you. Although I know you’re used to some of these girls touching you, I never wanted to stoop to that level.
Polly: Right. Anyway, champagne Daphne? I think some bubbles would be great here.
Amal: Amal nods whilst eating shrimp. Growth, I love it.
Billie: Penelope. Grown women are talking can you hush.
Polly: My name is Polly, Billie. Get it right or don’t say it at all.
Erica: Erica laughs. Growth my ass. As your “sister,” you just sat there and threw backhanded comments my way and for what? Because I tried to stop your unhinged tirade this morning?
Teairra: Teairra nods. And I appreciate you for being grown enough to apologize to me about that, I’ll apologize if I said anything that triggered us to even get into that whole yelling situation, I think we were both just so tired of being in the van together.
Erica: You’re apologizing to Teairra but where is my apology?
Billie: Penelope hush! I’m trying to right my wrongs. I know you’re foreign to that concept.
Polly: Do I get an apology too? Or no?
Erica: Erica looks over at Polly. I believe Teairra is the only one receiving that today.
Amal: Hey! One at a time! Let’s keep it together in front of the aristocrats Amal turns, smiles and waves at the aristocrats down the other end of the table. Great seafood, huh?
Polly’s Confessional: Billie is trying to once again, make it all about herself and play that violin. Polly shakes her finger. Not gonna work with me girlfriend. Move on into the pensioners queue over there.
Billie: Thank you Teairra for accepting my apology, I appreciate your forgiveness. You don’t really owe me an apology. I should’ve reacted differently to you asking your questions.
Daphne: Okay, see? That’s good, that’s progress!
Erica: Erica makes a face towards Daphne. Girl…
Teairra: But Billie, I have a question, were you intoxicated? Because that was just so out of nowhere.
Amal: Amal gasps. Oh no, don’t ask that!
Teairra: No… Teairra looks over at Amal. Don’t do that, it’s not like that! It’s a serious question…
Billie: Teairra…are you fucking kidding me? Not this shit again. Yes, I had a few drinks Teairra. Not sure what that had to do with anything. I wasn’t inebriated if that’s what you’re implying.
The camera pans to Teairra who makes a face and shakes her head…
Billie: Erica, I think as for you and I, I think we need to have a conversation away from everyone because you said some hurtful shit to me.
Erica: I said some hurtful shit? You threw an altercation between Teairra and I in my face and then just doubled down on it. Erica continues to cut into her lobster chewing it weirdly. This is rough, where did you guys catch these again Daphne?
Amal: Erica, I think what she’s trying to say is that she’s under a lot of pressure with her show and was expecting more empathy. You know how that is with your new cooking program.
Daphne: Don’t be silly, I didn’t catch them myself. Daphne laughs a bit. They’re the finest you can find in the United States, honey. They must be very different from the frozen ones people usually serve, I know.
Polly: This crab isn’t cooked Daph…
Erica: Empathy? I’ve been nothing but supportive to Billie about her recent endeavor. In fact, we have been very supportive of each other’s new journey. I’m finishing a fight that you started and continued to pour gas on… Erica gets distracted by the crabs. Maybe my next cooking episode should be clam bake! In honor of Daphne!
Billie: Yes, I was supposed to be on Erica’s new cooking show this past week until she canceled on me last minute. But yes, I do support her and want her to succeed.
Daphne: Polly Honey, ask the server to bring you another one. You don’t need to announce every single thing you don’t like. Daphne forces a smile.
Amal: I’m just trying to explain her mindset, Erica. Like, if things went wrong with your cooking show you’d probably be a bit antsy.
Teairra’s Confessional: This food is so dry and unseasoned, but your girl has not eaten all day so I could care less! And I have a free show right in front of me? Suddenly this crab tastes like crab house!
Erica: Daphne, what all was on this menu? I would love to replicate it for my cooking show.
Daphne’s Confessional: These girls are so damn difficult, they bitch about the rooms, they’re bitching about the food. My god, I pretended to know their songs or their YouTube short cooking series. Be nice!
Erica: Erica whispers to Polly and Teairra giggling. And do it better.
Daphne: I’ll have my assistant email it to you honey. Daphne smiles. So, now that we’re all in a good mood, shall we play a game? Just something silly to get to know each other, like Ask A Question or something like that!
Amal’s Confessional: I don’t know what these girls are complaining about l. The food is delicious and it’s better than the crabs they’re used to contracting… Amal pauses. If you know what I mean.
Billie: We love games! Billie laughs. I can start if that’s okay!? My first question is to Erica…. Billie looks at Erica. Erica, who is one person here you wouldn’t want on your cooking show!
Erica: Erica looks around the room. Hmm… just off the strength of the food tonight, I’ll say Daphne. No hard feelings, hun!
Polly: Polly’s eyes widen and she sips her drink. I do love to cook.
Amal: I’d be a great guest. I have perfected the boiled egg.
Daphne: It’s alright, I don’t like cooking.
Billie: Amal knows how to heat up a meal, that’s about it!
Amal: My personal chef, UberEats, is phenomenal.
Billie: Billie shakes her head and laughs. Shady bitch! It’s your turn to ask a question Erica!
Erica: Erica laughs, standing up. Teairra, if you could kick one girl out of Daphne’s estate. Who would it be? Erica smirks and sips champagne.
Teairra: Yikes… Teairra looks around the group. I don’t want to kick a girl out her own estate but….Daphne.
Amal: Amal’s mouth drops. Now, why are you being so mean to Daphne?
Polly: Danger Daph!
Billie: Damn, what’s everyone’s hard on for my girl Daphne?
Teairra: I’m not being mean; I’m just being honest. Teairra shrugs. Is it my turn?
Daphne: I would love to know the issue… Daphne laughs. But yeah, it’s your turn.
Teairra: Whew… Teairra turns to Daphne. Who do you feel is the most “aggressive” person among the girls?
Daphne: Aggressive seems a bit excessive, but if we’re talking about confrontational it’s definitely you honey.
Amal’s Confessional: I don’t like this. This is starting to feel really targeted and I’m starting to get nervous.
Billie: Oh? Well okay then.
Teairra: I figured, based on what you said to me before. Teairra looks away. Who’s next?
Daphne: I’ll go now! Okay… Daphne looks at the girls. Polly, have you and your husband ever had another person join you in the bedroom?
Amal: Maybe that’s what you and Billie need to do! Partake in a minaj.
Polly: Oh wow, well yeah of course! We’ve had a couple of threesomes in our time together, yes!
Billie: I don’t sleep with married people Amal! That’s Penelope’s thing honey.
Polly: You gotta try it while you can girls. Let’s just say that’s when I learnt I was a squirter! Polly laughs.
Daphne’s Confessional: See what I just did there, girls? I asked a silly, non-shady question that didn’t end up offending anyone. It’s not that hard!
Erica: Oh God! Erica laughs.
Polly: Okay I’ve had one too many COCKtails!
Amal: I’m all about threesomes. Threesomes, foursomes and moresomes is what I say.
Daphne: Moresomes? Honey, that’s an orgy I’m pretty sure.
Polly: Okay, I’ll go. Polly scans the table. Amal, I’ll ask you.
Teairra: Teairra looks at Amal and gulps. Uh oh…
Polly: Were you upset with me about something which made you not turn up to the appointment I booked in for you?
Amal: Excuse me?
Polly: I’m just asking, the appointment at my clinic we booked in together with you over the phone. You never showed.
Amal: I most certainly did not show, correct.
Polly: May I know why? Erica and Teairra think you may be upset with me about it.
Billie: Okay anyways. Who else has a question to ask?
Polly: Billie shh, mama shh, it’s okay you can talk in a minute.
Amal: Amal holds her hand up to Billie. No wait Billie. Let me address this.
Daphne’s Confessional: Polly… you told her there’s something wrong with her face and you wonder IF she is upset? Wake up, bobblehead!
Billie: Your voice is irking me. Can we hurry this up!
Polly: Amal, I want you to know that I only wanted to help and get you looking your absolute best like you always do.
Amal: And before I answer your question, I’m going to ask — do you think it’s appropriate to make comments on a woman’s quote unquote botched work when you don’t know her?
Billie: She looks beautiful? I don’t know what’s botched about you Amal.
Polly: Nobody said the word botched babe. I said I’d love to work with you and sort some things out. That’s my job. That’s what I do, what I live for.
Amal: You pointed out my face at the Twitter Swim Fashion Show, handed me a business card in the year 2024 and told me to come by your clinic to fix my face.
Daphne: Well, to be fair, saying “sort some things out” makes it seem like there’s a problem….
Amal: What would make you think I would want to look like every other average blonde trotting around Twitter?
Polly: It’s a QR code card, it’s all the rage, no? Polly looks confused and worried. I didn’t tell you I wanted to fix your face, I wouldn’t use those words. Well look, I don’t want it to be an issue, I sincerely apologize if it upset you. I would still like to have you come in though, maybe you’re not interested.
Amal: Listen, I didn’t call you after Twitter swim week, I didn’t call you after I went to your little clinic for a foot rub and I’m not planning on calling anytime soon. Got it? If you didn’t want it to be an issue, you wouldn’t be bringing it up right now.
Polly’s Confessional: I know I didn’t go about it the right way with Amal, but I’ll fix it… and her face. Polly smirks.
Erica: Well, what work is it that she needs to get done? I just think maybe you could have come about it a bit better.
Erica’s Confessional: If a stranger came to my face saying she would love to work on MY face because it’s in need of a tuning, that girl would’ve been dragged into yesteryear. And I’m not exaggerating.
Amal: So, let’s shut this down. Put the prawn back in your mouth and let’s finish the game, okay?
Polly: Okay, fine.
Billie: Yes, thank you Amal, I see a man over there that keeps winking at me! And you bitches are cockblocking right now!
Amal: Perfect… Amal smirks at Polly. Now Billie, when was the last time you had unbelievable, out of this world, headboard shaking sex?
Daphne: Ohhh, this is a good one!
Amal’s Confessional: That Polly… Amal rolls her eyes. Don’t poke the bear my baby.
Billie: Hopefully I get some tonight!! Billie shakes her nonexistent titties. I hope you ladies brought your headphones or ear muffs! Prior to that it’s been at least a year for so!
Erica: Thank God we’re ending this on a high, hopefully as high as Billie’s leg when she was getting pounded! Erica laughs, looking over at a man eyeing me down as I start playing in my hair.
Amal: A year?! Honey, absolutely not. Amal stands up and yells down the table to the other guests. Who here wants to have sex my friend, Billie Reed?
Billie: Billie laughs. Simmer down Amal! These men wouldn’t know how to handle me in the bedroom or these ladies. What do you ladies say we hit the grass and create our own dance floor?
We then watch as the Ladies get up from the table, and as they all begin to dance and laugh in the grass behind Daphne’s family estate. Just then, the camera shifts and we see the next morning beginning in Nantucket as we hear birds chirping. We then watch, as we see Erica and Billie walking out of the SUV and into a winery near the estate as the scene continues…
Billie’s Confessional: After the chain of events from yesterday I decided that I needed to have a conversation with Erica just sister to sister and get to the bottom of our issues. I love our friendship and if I am to blame for the situation yesterday then I will take full ownership but I need to get some things clarified first before I do that. So hopefully with some wine we can loosen up and have a good heart to heart.
Erica’s Confessional: Am I thrilled to be sitting with Billie at the moment? Absolutely not but there’s a friendship and sisterhood here that I’d never let get ruined by a little tiff. So, I’ve agreed to just have a conversation with Billie and hopefully this wine will mend some fences.
Erica: Erica walks through the winery. I will say, Nantucket has a fairly good taste in wine.
Billie: Honestly, it’s on par with Napa Valley’s wineries! I knew we both love wine and a gummy. Billie pulls out a bag of gummies. I stopped by and got these this morning! Let’s have a seat and chat!
Erica: Erica looks over at the gummy. Are you trying to win me over already? Erica laughs and sits down. Would you like to start the or shall I?
Billie: I think my lips have done enough talking these last twenty-four hours so I would love for you to start!
Erica: Well for starters, I was very offended by the wrath of your tongue yesterday. It was the quickness to throw such an intense situation that I dealt with in my face, knowing I would never have done that to you. Secondly, you then doubled down on with the apology towards Teairra. The girls may be a bit oblivious to your shade, but you know I’m not. But I think the most hurtful thing that was said was how unsupportive I’ve been to you!
Billie: Look, yesterday was a lot for me. I found out moments before my flight that my pilot has another delay. That requires more money for the production of the film. I’ve pretty much poured my heart and soul into this project, and I’ve gotten hit with every roadblock you can think of. None of that is an excuse to what I said to you, but I couldn’t understand why you were coming so hard at us when you were in a whole brawl with Teairra not even a week prior to this trip.
We watch as the camera pans to Erica who is sipping her wine and listening intently…
Billie: You know how she can be provoking and I felt provoked by her in that car ride. What lead me to say you were unsupportive was that Teairra asked if I was drinking and kept insinuating I was under some kind of influence you didn’t feel the need as my friend to chime in and defend me or simply say right now isn’t the time. I don’t care if we are falling out or not on speaking terms, I would’ve never left you to the wolves to defend yourself. I needed more from my friend at that moment. You know firsthand how hard this addiction to alcohol has been for me.
Erica: First and Foremost, you know, I’ve been the biggest supporter of your endeavors into the BTS of film making and I’m sorry that the whole situation is being derailed yet again but you know our friendship. It’s Erica, I’m having a day or vice versa. I wasn’t picking you or Teairra’s side because you guys were both equally wrong for the way you arrived to Daphne’s home. I didn’t even know the entire situation. I just knew I needed to get you girls back on one track and also help Daphne because she was quiet as a church mouse. As for the reasoning behind me not defending you, at that point I had completely checked out. I didn’t care for what you or her said and I retreated to my room.
Billie: Look, I hear you and I think this was just a learning lesson for me that I need to be more in control of my reactions to things. I sometimes have a tendency to fly off the handles and say shit I don’t really mean and your fight with Teairra was one of them. I am truly sorry that I hurt your feelings in the midst of all this because you have been probably my biggest supporter since I’ve came back to this group and have tried to champion me to be the best Billie I can be, even if that requires you checking me! I didn’t want this to fester into something bigger though because your sisterhood means to much to me.
Erica: Absolutely, I think that’s how this friendship works. We both are works in progress and its takes us checking each other to get a sense of how we could be wrong. That’s just how a friendship goes, a real sisterhood! Of course, I apologize as well if you felt as if I wasn’t as supportive in the instance. You’re really a sister to me and this little fight could never break us apart! Even though I feel the girls were a bit thrilled to see a crack. Erica laughs and sips her wine.
Billie: I mean I don’t think these ladies understand real sisterhood if it hit them in the face. You know they love to try and come between us.
Erica’s Confessional: Billie is one of my best friends in Twitter. We may have our ups and downs but we both know where each other’s heads are completely. For God sakes, she saw my Vagina! It doesn’t get closer than that.
Billie’s Confessional: Look, Erica has been one of the only constant things in my life these last three years and it would be silly for us to throw away our friendship over a misunderstanding. She gets me and I get her. I just need to do better when she’s checking me not to react like I did, because she only wants the best for me.
Erica: I didn’t even mention, I heard from Robert. Well, somebody heard from Robert and a message was delivered to me.
Billie: Oh god, what happened? Who has he been talking to?
Erica: His mom has called me during a business meeting and she basically said that all of sudden Robert is thinking about contesting the divorce. He wants to go to court for joint custody of Chance.
Billie: Billie looks shocked. Wait, what the hell? Why would he want to contest the divorce… I mean does he even know how to care for Chance 50% of the time? When he was first born you were doing all the work with him.
Erica: I don’t know what to say. Chance hasn’t seen his father in so long… so I was shocked that he would even think to do such a thing. I just keep thinking to myself, is this him getting back at me? I know he wasn’t pleased being in the limelight about his cheating but still? He’s not the victim here.
Erica’s Confessional: My head is completely all over the place when it comes to this divorce. I was almost done and at the finish line, ready to start over and then in the form of a 300-pound man, darkness came back into my life. I’m just tired of having to fight 24/7.
Billie: And you definitely should not be punished for kicking his ass to the curb after everything he put you through. I mean geez he should be glad you are even willing to let chance see him any. If you need a good attorney let me know because I have several I keep on a retainer. Billie laughs. Being in the limelight all the time, you have to have them on speed dial!
Erica: I need a team! I know he’s coming hard to contest this divorce. His mom is also putting me in touch with some people but when is enough, enough. I’m just glad I’m here right now and hopefully since we’re good we can get to the fun! Lord knows we both need it.
Billie: Lord, we both do need the fun! I think Daphne has a yacht excursion planned for us so you know we know how to turn a boat up! Let’s just promise to not let these bitches get in between us and always know that any problem we have is fixable. Billie hugs Erica. Now let’s go reenact our Italian vacation on this yacht!
As Billie and Erica are seen laughing and having another glass of wine, the camera pans out as we return to Daphne’s family estate, where we see Daphne, Amal, and Polly heading out to the coastline as we continue…
Daphne’s Confessional: So today I have arranged private surfing lessons for me and a couple of the girls. I hope a fun activity like this could lift everybody’s spirit and keep us busy! No fighting today please!
Daphne: Hey, girl! Looking good, you might wanna take the hat off though. Daphne laughs.
Amal: Hat off? Girl, what do you have us doing? I thought we were laying out by the beach?
Polly’s Confessional: I’m like really tired of drama but I’m also realizing that these girls are sink or swim. You can’t sit and be pretty like me you gotta get going and get swimming … and I guess that’s what we’re doing this morning!
Polly: Morning girls!
Amal: Amal sees Polly approaching and grimaces. Hello.
Daphne: No, girl! This is Jean Claude, our surfing instructor! We’ll be riding some waves. Daphne laughs.
Jean Claude (Surf Instructor): Hello, ladies!
Amal: Amal takes her hat off and extends her hand to Jean Claude. Jean Claude, is it? Amal Hadid. It’s a pleasure.
Daphne: So, are we all ready to ride?
Polly: I’m gonna watch, I’ve got a fear of deep water. I don’t do surfing.
Amal: I’ll ride. I’ll ride the waves and the instructor.
Daphne: Oh, really? I don’t think we’re gonna go too far from the shore, are we Jean?
Jean Claude: No, no we’ll stay pretty close by. This is a beginner’s course.
Amal: Jean Claude? Can you please help me with my wet suit? Amal bends down in front of Jean Claude and steps into the wet suit as he pulls it up and zips it up from Amal.
Polly: I’ll go to my knees Jean Claude. I’m good at that.
Amal: Amal smirks at Polly. Funny.
A montage of the ladies surfing, swimming, falling and flirting with Jean Claude plays on the screen. The camera then sets as the ladies are back onto the beach…
Daphne: Wow, that was intense, huh?
Polly: You both did great. How’re you feeling Daphne about the trip? I don’t feel like it’s gone how you expected it to.
Daphne: I honestly don’t know… on one hand it’s been fun to share this place with you girls and get to know you all better. However, some of the ladies seem to have it out for me. Daphne shrugs. I don’t know.
Polly: Yeah, I think we should plan for like an intimate girl’s night in or something.
Amal’s Confessional: Listen, do I want to sit here with brain dead barbie? Absolutely not but this trip has been tough for Daphne, so I’ll put my issues with her to the side and sit on this beautiful beach with my wavy hair and big ass to support my new friend.
Polly: Maybe what’s missing is like that personal connection. I know I don’t have it with everyone yet. And Amal’s mad at me… Polly gestures to Amal.
Daphne: Yeah, we can try that. I just hope the girl are more receptive than they were last night. That damn game… Daphne laughs a bit.
Amal: Me? Amal Hadid? Mad at you?
Polly: I think so honey!
Amal: I’m not mad at you. I just wish you would divert your attention away from my face and towards your struggling relationships with the rest of these girls.
Polly: I don’t want you to be though because I could really help you. That’s all, the offer is still there.
Amal: Amal looks shocked. Help me?
Amal’s Confessional: Lady, are you dumb?
Daphne: I think what’s going on here is that by saying “I can help you,” it implies that there is something wrong with her face, Polly.
Polly: Daphne, I know what’s going on. But it’s my job. I can’t help it. I would just love to let you give me your time Amal to show you what we could do! That’s all. I’ll leave it now.
Amal: I also don’t think you understand, Polly. When I first came around this group of girls and really put myself out in the public eye, I was ridiculed relentlessly. Every day there were people in my DMs or under my comments calling me fat or disgusting or ugly or a pig. Do you know what your remarks have done to me? To sit in front of me on half a dozen occasions and tell me you can fix my face. Amal shakes her head. I just don’t know who the fuck you think you are.
Daphne: Yes, I remember they kept calling you Gloria, honey. How terrible and despicable. People can be such pieces of shit.
Polly’s Confessional: Daphne has this quality where she’ll tell you what the other person is thinking or feeling or trying to say. I think I’ve nailed why some of the girls find her hard to talk to…
Polly: That’s not what I’ve said though. That’s your interpretation. I’ve never said I’d fix anything. It’s a collaboration.
Amal: Did she not just say she could help my face?
Polly: No, I said I’d help you. I’ve never said there’s anything wrong or bad.
Amal: What are you talking about, collaboration? I make pet nail polish not Botox.
Polly: I would just make you look even better, which possibly would make you feel better. That’s what my business is all about babe, making people look and feel their best.
Daphne’s Confessional: I wonder if Polly knows what the term “implying” means. Cause she does it all day…
Amal: Here’s the problem, your delivery. You didn’t lead with that. You led with, “here’s my card, come to my clinic and I’ll fix your work.”
Polly: I never said I’d fix your work Amal. Stop putting words in people’s mouths. And I apologized last night, so really you should be flattered I’m so invested. Polly laughs.
Amal: Amal raises her eyebrows. Are you raising your voice at me, right now? On this beautiful Nantucket beach?
Polly: Erm no? I didn’t raise my voice.
Amal’s Confessional: I should be flattered? Girl, are you crazy? Stop “investing” in me and invest in… Amal looks around. I don’t know, your children.
Amal: I’m just making sure. I don’t want to drown you in Nantucket.
Polly’s Confessional: I’m just so used to people begging me for help with their faces and their injectables, I think that’s why I’m pushing this because I know Amal wants it but she’s covering it up.
Polly: Okay, well I’m sorry. Let’s leave it there.
Amal: Consider it left here.
Daphne: I think this was mostly a misunderstanding on both parts, no? Polly apologized and I think we can move on now. You’re both my new friends I want us all to have a good time
Polly: Because I’m really enjoying you, I want to get to a nice friendly place with you Amal, truly!
Amal: Well, that’s nice. For me, I want to try and get to know you aside from our little hiccups and your beef with Billie. So, let’s see.
Polly: Listen, I don’t have any beef with anyone. I’m not that kind of person. Billie has an issue with me, and I’m not really interested in finding out why.
Amal: Well from my vantage point, there appears to be a beef there.
Daphne: I think you just gotta be patient with Billie, she’s going thru a lot right now. Give her time, or don’t.
Polly: Daphne seriously, can you stop saying that? Billie may be going through a hard time, that doesn’t mean you can treat people badly or say the things she’s been saying.
Daphne: What?
Polly: You think it’s okay for her to call me by a different name? I don’t see you calling her out for that. But you’ll let me know that Billie is in a bad place, so I’ve got to cut her some slack? No.
Daphne: Daphne looks taken aback. Look, I was just saying that cause having known Billie for a couple years I know what she’s really like. No need to get mad at me, girl. And for the record I have told her to not be so hard on you. I just don’t do it in front of the group.
Polly: I’m gonna take a break girls I think, I’ll see you both back at the house!
Amal: I think the two of you should have a conversation tonight and really get to the bottom of why there’s this big issue between —
Polly: It’s Billie’s issue, ask her! Polly gets up and walks off. I’ve got work calls anyway, see ya!
Amal: Amal watches as Polly walks back to the house. Oh, okay…Amal then turns to Daphne. What the?
Daphne: I guess she would like us to take her side with this whole Billie thing. Whatever.
Amal: Side? The only time I’m on my side is when I’m getting it from the side. Amal laughs.
As Daphne and Amal sit by the coast laughing, the camera pans out as we see a recording studio in the heart of Nantucket, as Teairra gets out of her car and makes her way inside alone…
Teairra: Teairra slowly walks into the studio looking around. Lorenzo…
Teairra’s Confessional: So, the music executive Lorenzo that planned to take me out on a little business dinner, is suddenly in Nantucket and was inviting me to come to the studio, and of COURSE, I couldn’t pass it up, sorry ladies! I’m working.
Lorenzo turns around as he sees Teairra coming in and he greets her…
Lorenzo: Teairra! I’ve been waiting on you!
Teairra: Hey, hey, hey, I’m here! Teairra smiles and walks all the way in as Lorenzo rises up and giving a hug.
Lorenzo: I just been sitting here looking at all these beats hoping some of these would stick for you, I think some are very…Teairra. Lorenzo laughs.
Teairra: You saying that like you know me or something! But I would love to hear.
Lorenzo: I want to get to know you…Lorenzo starts to smirk and gets back into work mode. Okay! Let me chill…
The camera pans to Teairra who is seen blushing as Lorenzo starts the first beat…
Teairra’s Confessional: Is it flirting? Or is he just a sweet guy! I think he’s just a sweet guy he’s very straight forward though so I’m not sure what he’s trying to get at but he knows me and Donte are like peanut butter and jelly.
Lorenzo: You fuck with this?? I think you would.
Teairra: I actually do! It’s like an island girl vibe I would definitely have to keep this in my vault! But not for too long because summer is approaching.
Lorenzo: Oh, hot girl summer?
Teairra: Teairra laughs. What do you know about hot girl summer?
Lorenzo: I mean…Megan thee stallion and I would say you’re a hot girl yourself.
Teairra: Teairra blushes as the beat plays in the background. You can take it as that, I would consider myself one.
Lorenzo: I can tell… Lorenzo bites his bottom lip and looks up and down Teairra.
Teairra: Teairra avoids eye contact and goes on her phone as the room suddenly gets hot. Is there a fan in here? It’s getting really hot in here.
Lorenzo: Yeah sorry!
We watch as Lorenzo plays more beats, as Teairra sits and listening, nodding and dancing along as the music plays…
Teairra’s Confessional: Lorenzo knew what he was doing bringing me here with all these pretty beats and the studio is AMAZING, like I would have never expected something so gorgeous as I’m walking in but I’m having a blast I would definitely do this again…anytime!
Lorenzo: Lorenzo finishes the last beat and looks at Teairra in her eyes. Well, that’s all I got for today, but we can definitely continue the show soon? I still want that dinner.
Teairra: Teairra nods. We can definitely still go to dinner, you have to send me those beats as soon as possible so I can talk to my producer Kendrick and he can work his magic.
Lorenzo: Just let me know! I don’t want to keep you too occupied, I know you got a man. Lorenzo gets up and laughs, holding his arms open waiting for a hug.
Teairra: Teairra hugs Lorenzo as she start to grab her stuff. This was amazing! We’ll have to do this again sometime soon…
As we watch Teairra and Lorenzo wrapping up at the studio, we watch as the scene shifts and we see Daphne, Billie, Amal, and Erica stepping out of the back of an SUV and making their way down a dock towards a yacht. We hear luxurious music, before the scene focuses in as they get onboard and the yacht prepares for departure…
Daphne’s Confessional: Since we are in Nantucket I thought, what better way to spend an afternoon than sail on a mega yacht with champagne and hot bartenders? Daphne laughs. I hope these bitches don’t tear apart this activity as well,
Daphne: Oh, hey B! Looking sexy, very cat woman! So, everyone’s here! Let’s get the champagne flowing, shall we? Daphne looks at the ladies.
Billie: I thought I was going to have to kick some bitches overboard but then I realized I was in good company! Billie hugs Daphne. Thanks for arranging this!
Amal: Now, this is fabulous Daphne. The nerve of you to have me on the beach getting hit by a surfboard earlier when there’s this yacht
Daphne: Oh, shush Amal, you loved Jean Claude! I saw you flashing him “accidentally” a couple times! Daphne laughs.
Billie: When is Amal’s boobs not out? I mean she flaunts them any chance she gets.
Erica: Now this is more like it! Please pass me a glass of champs and let’s truly get this vacation started!
Erica’s Confessional: I’m so excited to finally be on the water and hopefully drama free. Billie and I have agreed to move on, and I could use the peace and mind. Like I could have sworn this was a vacation.
Amal: Oh, Jean Claude was something. Ladies, this man… His French baguette was on full display, if you know what I mean.
Daphne: Daphne hands all the girls a glass of champagne. To Amal’s boobs! Daphne laughs. Cheers!
Billie: Billie raises her glass. Cheers to the fun girls!
Amal: Thank you, Dr Stonewood! Amal squeezes her boobs between her arms and laughs.
Erica: Cheers to that!
Amal: So, tell me girls, what’s happening over here? Amal points at Erica and Billie. How did this happen?
Erica: All we needed a little wine to bring us together! Erica hugs Billie and laughs.
Billie: Oh, Erica and I just had a heart to heart at a winery. Billie wipes away tears. I just expressed I was going through a lot, and I didn’t mean to lash out towards her. You three ladies are the closest people to me, and I do not want to ever ruin what we have going on here. So, I want to apologize to you all again regarding my behavior when we first got here. Daph, I really need to apologize to you for blowing up. I know how much you wanted to make this a great weekend.
Daphne: Don’t worry honey, I know it’s been a rough time for you. Daphne takes Billie’s hand. It’s alright.
Amal: We’re here for you Billie. Always and forever.
Billie: Billie downs her champagne. Now that is out of the way! I want us to have fun. Amal and Erica, how do you both feel with Daphne and Polly? Are they inducted into this sorority or are we still figuring it out? Billie laughs. I think my feelings about both of them are obvious.
Amal: Well, you know, I love me some Daphne! She’s actually going to help me out with the creative for my Amal Hadid’s Mani-Pawdi line. Polly on the other hand? The jury is still out. She did apologize to me on the beach today but I’m not too sure about that one, just yet.
Erica: Erica laughs. I like them both in their own ways, but I do think they have a bit of work to do. Polly isn’t used to being around people with reputations and I think it intimidates her a bit because of her background and past. Daphne, I love how supportive she is, but I do think can be a bit… what’s the word? Timid at times.
Daphne: Timid? I just think of myself as an observer, I mean I didn’t know most of you guys until recently.
Erica: Well as an observer, from what I’ve seen so far that word perfectly describes you sometimes. That’s just my opinion; it’s not a declaration.
Billie: Daphne, take what the girls are saying with love. We just want you to be successful in this group.
Amal: Not a declaration honey. Here ye, here ye.
Erica’s Confessional: Look, I’m just calling it how I see it. Daphne is noticeably always fading into the background when shit goes down. Would Billie be screaming in my house like that? Absolutely not. Would my guest be commenting on the cooking from my staff? Absolutely NOT. Let’s find a voice before everyone starts to walk all over you.
Daphne: That’s fine, Erica. Daphne smiles. Well, I will say I thought you weren’t exactly very polite last night. And I’m just saying this now because we’re being open and honest. I think you criticizing the food over and over was… rude.
The camera pans to Amal as her mouth drops…
Daphne: I, for instance, had never heard of your cooking show, but in the name of being kind and polite I pretended like I did. It’s simple manners.
Amal’s Confessional: Okay, Daphne. I see you. Twitter’s very own Emily Post laying down the law.
Erica: Ohh… Erica lets out a faint smile. If me telling your food was not that tasty is rude, then I’m sorry. Maybe, next clam bake you’ll actually take time and consideration into picking who’s cooking the feast. I’m sorry that everyone was disgusted by the lack of seasoning and the roughness of it all. I didn’t see anyone leave with to-go plates.
Billie: Billie shakes her head. I just wanted to come on this yacht and enjoy my Pinot Grigio. Billie laughs.
Daphne: It is rude, actually. One shouldn’t openly criticize the host at their event, in front of the whole table. I didn’t think that was a crazy concept, is it? Daphne looks at Billie and Amal. Common decency, no?
Amal: Wait, so are you saying that the clams and the shrimp and lobster and the seafood weren’t tasty, Erica?
Daphne’s Confessional: Am I speaking with a fellow adult woman or with a child? Who needs to be told not to be an ass at someone else’s event? Daphne shakes her head.
Erica: What’s rude is inviting guests to a clam bake and having uneatable food. Now that’s rude!
Billie: Look, I think Erica was trying to give you some helpful advice for how to the better season the clam for next time right, Erica? Billie nudges Erica. Oh?
Amal: Uneatable?! Wow
Daphne: And now you’re being childish. Doubling down because I said I did not know about your Vimeo cooking short videos. Erica, come on!
Billie’s Confessional: I mean I could eat the food, yes. Did I like what I was eating? HELL NO! Billie laughs. It’s the thought that counts though, right?
Billie: Look ladies now we are just going tit for tat here and that’s going to get us nowhere!
Erica’s Confessional: I didn’t say oh this is disgusting! Oh, this is disgusting! I just asked simple questions about the quality of the food. That’s all. I don’t understand all the fuss?
Daphne: I don’t wanna go tit for tat, I tried expressing how I thought her behavior was disgraceful but she doubled down and refuses to see how that wasn’t polite. Daphne shrugs. Anyways…
Erica: Erica fakes falling asleep and wakes back up. Girl, I’m bored. Vimeo shorts that make me that coin! An amount you wish you could get within a day. Your income takes weeks upon weeks to come in while mine comes in within a day. So, what you need to do it back up off it and maybe draw some fences in that sketch book of yours. Because I don’t wanna go there with you! But I will. And that’s the only warning you *points at Daphne* gets.
Billie: Look ladies, I can do the splits! Billie drops and does the splits.
Daphne: Daphne laughs. A warning? come on, we are supposed to be adults. Try and have a discussion like a mature woman, if you can Erica. This pettiness is stupid, and uncalled for. I was a graceful host and you were a complete moron. Plain and simple.
Daphne’s Confessional: Now she’s going to warn me? Daphne rolls her eyes. Please.
Erica: Moron? Is this how we communicate as adults?
Billie: Look ladies, how can we reach some resolution! I mean we can’t be acting like this on this beautiful yacht on this beautiful water.
Erica: You weren’t a graceful host, you let everyone walk over you! You had 80-year-old creeps at your clam bake and you tried to kill us with rough cuts of meat. I can be a “moron” but you’re a good for nothing bitch!
Amal: None of that! No need for the b words before you both end up over there in the ocean.
Erica: Erica crosses her legs and smirks. Now cheers to that!
Billie: Okay that’s enough of this. I’m interjecting now. Hell, I’ve tried ballet, twerking, the splits nothing is stopping you two. Let’s just table this before one of you throw the other overboard
Daphne: Daphne laughs. Oh please, look at the way you’re behaving. Moron described you perfectly. And may I remind you, you’re calling me a bitch on the yacht my father owns.
Erica’s Confessional: Daphne, I don’t know why you used this as the moment to voice your opinion. But Billie checked you, Nothing. Teairra checked you, nothing. You would have been better arguing with them because wrong road bitch, wrong road.
Erica: Keyword Father, not you hun.
Daphne: Last time I checked I have my own design and architecture firm and you film reels on your iPhone X. Keyword REELS. Daphne sips champagne. Now moving on….
Erica: Erica laughs. But I thought you never seen my content so how would you know anything? They keep hating but still WATCHING.
Billie: Okay ladies let’s move on! Does anyone want to hear who I casted for my pilot TV series?
Daphne: Yes, please. Let’s talk about an ACTUAL job, B!
Billie: No, I actually have guest roles, that I’ve designed and created that I want you ALL to star in! I don’t think Teairra and I are there yet, and Penelope well she’s not really qualified to star in my kind of films. I think the X-Rated ones are more her speed.
Amal: Listen, we’re all distinguished businesswomen here. Whether it’s cooking, tv production, architecture or Amal Hadid’s mani-pawdi line
Daphne: Oh my god, seriously? That is amazing! When does filming start?
Billie: Oh, about that… Billie rolls her eyes. It won’t be starting for a few more weeks. Production has been pushed back for a few more weeks. So, we are delayed once again. But you guys have all been so excited for my new venture I wanted you guys to have a part in it. It’s a small part but it’s something you all can add to your IMDB!
Daphne: That’s great! Daphne claps excitedly.
Erica: I’m so happy for you Billie! Even though production is delayed, I think once you truly start it’ll no doubt take off.
Daphne: Me and Amal are actually teaming up, as I told you, to host a fundraiser for Pets R Pals, I would love to invite some of you girls. Daphne smiles. We still have lots to get done before it’s up and running, but we’re getting there.
Billie: I think it’s going to be a hit. The show being delayed only gives me more time to get my ducks in a row. So, it will be smooth sailing. Billie turns to Daphne. Oh that will be a cute gala to attend! I just don’t want any puppies crawling all over my dress!
Daphne: Daphne laughs. It will! It will be good publicity for her Mani-Pawdi line and also a great opportunity to raise funds for my organization, so it’s a win-win situation!
Billie: Businesswomen uplifting other businesswomen. I love to hear it! I’m sure Erica and I can’t wait to attend. It’s been a minute since we’ve been to a gala event!
Daphne: Well, you’ll be the first one to get an invite honey.
Erica: Anyways, Billie, I would love for you join me on this week’s upcoming episode of the cooking show. As you know in celebration of pride, I’ve been inviting all members of the community to cook their meals and I would love for you to come on with me and Honey Balenciaga.
Billie: Oh my god absolutely I would love to come on this weeks episode!! I LIVE for Honey Balenciaga!! Let’s get into it.
Amal: Honey who?
Erica: Oh Amal, I think you would love them! They’re really big in the ballroom scene and it was honey you saw death dropping away on stage with Beyoncè!
Amal: Oh, are they a drag queen? I love a drag queen. People on social media say I look like a drag queen
Billie: No honey you just look like Calista Banks! Billie laughs. Oh look, the yacht is docking! Let’s go freshen up and get ready for dinner and some nightlife activities!!!
As the camera pans out, we see the Ladies heading off the yacht, before seeing a shot of the Nantucket coastline, as the scene and episode come to an end.
