'The Real Housewives of Atlanta' Season 7 News: Episode 19 'Drama Detox' Recap
On last Sunday's episode of "The Real Housewives of Atlanta," the ladies take Dr. Jeff's advice to go on a retreat to fix their relationships and they fly to the Philippines, and Nene stays behind as she meets with the creative director of Broadway's "Cinderella."
Nene is in New York and meeting with the creative director of "Cinderella." In a mock British accent, Nene reads her lines and later, when she's told that she has to improve, she tells him, "I will bring it." She also said that she would like to use two accents for her character. He tells her that she better "bring it" because her name is on the marquee.
After a 16-hour flight, Claudia, Kenya, Porsha, Demetria, Kandi, Cynthia, and Phaedra arrive in the Philippines. Claudia takes them to a vegan detox resort, and she assigns the biggest room to Phaedra because she's been having a hard time lately, and Phaedra is openly touched by the gesture. The rest of the ladies are also impressed with their accommodations.

The next morning, Claudia invites Phaedra to lunch so that Phaedra will know that "this isn't a set up." Claudia tells her that she too went through a painful divorce.
"I dealt with it in not a great way," said Claudia. "I drank a lot of wine. I was depressed. I had suicidal thoughts."
Phaedra appreciates her support, but is not quite willing to talk about Apollo yet. However, she's glad that Claudia sincerely reached out, and the two of them ended up connecting well and laughing.
Later, Phaedra and Kandi meet for pedicures. They talk about how they both got hurt over miscommunications, but in the end they agree that they're true friends and that they should stick together. Kandi also hopes that Phaedra can find it in her heart to forgive Kenya.
Over a group dinner of smuggled chicken and alcohol, Claudia tries her best to help others mend fences. Cynthia tries to apologize to Phaedra for confronting her about Mr. Chocolate a few weeks ago, but Phaedra ignores her. This causes Porsha to giggle.
Claudia calls Porsha out for giggling, and Kenya and Demetria accuse Porsha of undoing all the efforts the other ladies made so far. Exasperated, Claudia stands up and clinks a glass with her spoon to get their attention, but she ends up breaking it.
Later, Kenya says that she wants to mend her relationship with Phaedra after Apollo lied about Kenya sending him flirty text messages. Phaedra still has her doubts, so Kenya asks her if she's willing to have a private conversation, and Phaedra agrees. The women cheer and toast to "doing the work."
"The Real Housewives of Atlanta" airs on Sundays at 8 p.m. on Bravo.
