Braxton Family Values: Season 5 Episode 14 ‘Broadway or Bust’ [Weekly Recap]

At Toni Braxton‘s house in L.A., Toni is in the kitchen making Mommy’s (Evelyn Braxton) biscuits. Towanda Braxton comes over to visit her tweaking the traditional recipe to biscuit cakes with almond. Towanda asked why when she knew she was coming over. In Toni’s truth she tried to do Mommy’s biscuits and they came out flat. Toni wonders why she on this side of town and she breaks it to her that she has an apartment, yes in L.A. for her acting stuff. Toni wants to know if she is serious, serious; she had to do something else since retiring from being a background singer. Towanda has a monologue she has to do and she doesn’t know how she is going to do it; Toni volunteers to help. She has to create the character’s entire world. Toni demonstrates her best Spanish accent after hearing the character is Spanish. Toni is invited to her class, but not to be Paula to David‘s Simon. She wants props to dive into the character more, although Toni doesn’t think that’s a good idea.

Tamar Braxton and Vince Herbert meet with the Broadway producers, David Meiskin and David Garfinkle. Tamar tells that she didn’t think her sisters thoroughly understood what she was trying to say in regard to the news about the idea or just isn’t a good time for them, maybe. She definitely wants to continue working on the show if that’s is something they are open to. You know Broadway is the place to be right now so that would be great! Tamar has some passionate homework to do so let’s get this train moving.

Trina Braxton is out and about in L.A. with her boys, Eric and Caleb. Trina tells them that Pops (Gabe) in out in L.A. She lets them know that they have been talking and in therapy. She has been working through her issues with Gabe and not only for her, but also for her boys as well. He was really the only father figure they had in their lives so they may need some closure too. She tells them what he has expressed about them and how he would like to rekindle the relationship they’ve had for the past 14 years. Caleb’s face is bunched up and he expresses his real feelings on Gabe, in which Trina never knew.

Traci Braxton and Trina stop by Towanda’s condo. Towanda is loving being a L.A. girl, but she also missing her kids so she calls them up. Trina is chewing chips like she is crunching on ice. Speaking of children, Trina tells her sisters that they are having dinner with Gabe. Traci and Trina have their reservations about helping Towanda with her monologue this time. No trees or manakins, but an invite to go shopping with her at least for her props.

Tamar and Vince meet back up with the producers since they are still in town for their other project because she has a great idea to share with them.

Towanda is hoping for some inspiration to embrace her character. Nothing is suited for Towanda’s character creation thus far in the costume shop. Back to drawing board because an epic fail is not an option.

Check out Tamar’s great idea that she has to share in her legendary meeting, Towanda’s final monologue and her surprise opportunity. Plus, the boys meet Gabe below:

The Braxton slumber parties have always been epic, a time to party and a time to reminisce; but on Thursday, the season finale does going through old times open old wounds? What made this the biggest Braxton blowout ever?
