The ladies' South African vacation continues with the "Talls" and "Smalls" moving beyond Sheree and Marlo's intense showdown. After blowing off some steam at a Cape Town nightclub, the women travel to the luxurious Shamwari game reserve. On safari, NeNe finds herself caught between the competing attention of Marlo and Cynthia, while Sheree, Phaedra, and Kandi learn about the pharmaceutical benefits of elephant dung. Later, the entire group has an opportunity to visit a South African orphanage, where they are touched by the children and leave with the sense that this trip has been a life-changing experience.

The ladies pack their designer bags to depart South Africa and head home to Atlanta, where new drama awaits. When NeNe's son Bryson is arrested for stealing two razors, she debates whether to bail him out of jail or teach him a lesson. Meanwhile, Kim's relationship with her assistant, Sweetie, starts to sour. Kim welcomes back the Smalls with a catered lunch at her new mansion, and she confronts Kandi about the derogatory comments that were made about her in Africa.
