Braxton Family Values: Season 5 Episode 11 ‘This is Not About ReKindlerization…or is it?’ [Weekly Recap]

In L.A., Gabe and Trina Braxton have lunch and Trina almost chokes as they are discussing how they never had kids together; Gabe claims that it’s not too late. That would mean they have to do the booty and the factory is closed all the way down. He makes it a joke and brings up Trina’s relationship with Jacent and the divorce. She tells him she had something in her mind that told her she was done. Gabe even makes mention of her name and how he had something to do with it. Trina says she was still “Trina Braxton” before she met him. Now the two toast to, “friendship!”

At Tamar Braxton‘s house, Traci Braxton is in town to start recording her second album while in L.A. So she stopped by to hang out. Tamar is having a spread done for People Magazine shot at her house. She expresses her excitement at getting good at decorating and receives a text that Trina wants to have drinks and asks Traci what that’s about. She assumes it’s probably about that little ol’ boy, because she guesses they are friends now after therapy. Tamar is there for the cocktail, but don’t get wild and crazy because she will get in her car and zoom, zoom!

Tamar’s ice melts and Traci says, “It’s hotter than a jalapeno’s coochie right here.” She is afraid to uncross her legs, but Tamar says when it’s this hot you gotta put some deodorant down there. She might forget it’s leg deodorant and put in under her underarms and be smelling like fish. “You tried it, this is not fish this is vegetarian,” Tamar sets the record straight. A little musk-musk or fruitatarian? Sometimes she gets mad and lashes out.

The sisters meet up for cocktails with the exception of Toni Braxton. It’s the first time Trina has seen them since her therapy session with Gabe, so she knows they are going to have a ton of questions. She isn’t sure she wants to hear all of the opinions, but it’s time to rip the bandaid off and get to it, but she doesn’t think she should have to go through it by herself.

Traci chooses bowling to meet with Trina and Towanda Braxton about her single. No drama! No Gabe, just fun! Towanda tries to help Trina with her curve, but she wants to do it by herself. She’s got this! She tells them she is going in the studio to work on her single called, “Body Shots” for her sophomore album. They are excited for her. She wouldn’t prefer Mommy (Evelyn Braxton) listen to it, but being naughty has its perks.

Toni and Towanda has short people jokes after they just went shopping and now she is about to drop Toni off at home before heading back to her hotel. Towanda tells Toni about Traci working on her sophomore album and Toni can’t wait to hear it. Toni admits she was scared for hers because of the importance in the longevity of your career. If she wants to be risqué Toni is here for that. Towanda also has juice on Gabe, Trina, and her boys. Toni is also hush-hush about her speculation of their rekindled love or not sure what it is.

Trina gets an unexpected call from Gabe saying he has some things he wants to talk about and he would rather talk in person. He is still in L.A. and she wonders what he has up his sleeve now. She is about to go see Mommy and what perfect timing, because she needs her advice about what she thinks about all of this. He says he even thinks he knows where she is staying and she asks if he is stalking her. He says he just knows things, but she is willing to meet with him after speaking to Mommy. She has opened Pandora’s box with Gabe and now she questioning their relationship going forward.
