Braxton Family Values: Season 5 Episode 12 ‘Trick Thy Sister’ [Weekly Recap]

In L.A., Gabe and Trina Braxton are on the beach when he mentions the last time when he was down on one knee. Trina’s face is scared until he says, “Don’t worry, it’s not that time.” He laughs, but Trina feels like Gabe is buttering her up, and wants to get to the meat and potatoes. Gabe has some things he feels like he regrets and wants to apologize for, like being a horrible husband. Trina is shocked he wants to apologize, but receptive in agreement that he was indeed horrible. Trina wants to know why now apologize. Gabe expresses how now he can do that with no built up resentment and can get it off his chest because it’s not the same hurt. Trina gets upset because there is still some hurt because for a while she blamed herself, like what did she do. She gets upset in the midst of talking, although she promised herself she would not do this again. It’s cleansing and she is glad she reached out. Cheers to growth, maturity, and closure.

At Tamar Braxton‘s house, Trina visits “Monster” (Tamar), but she is not ready to tell her about Gabe yet. Tamar is excited about Mrs. Getty, like the Getty family that has a passion for art, calling and she got the show. August Getty (fashion designer) is a Tamartian and its his birthday so she is performing to wants to lighten his spirits after the devastating loss of his friends. Trina just belches as Tamar calls it a mouth fart or a fluffed air or a fluff of stank per Tamar.

She has a plan to get them in the studio. She tells them is going to do another song called, “Broken Things.” She invites them to the studio so they can hear the finished product. She tells them Gabe called her and she tells them about the ownership and the apology he finally gave. Cheers to Traci’s new music and to forgiveness, happiness, and growth.
