We’re back with another episode of “Basketball Wives: LA.”

Trying to stay away from the drama between Brooke and Bambi, Draya and Malaysia met up and attempted to squash whatever drama was brewing. Of course, the “Jackie” situation was brought up during their meeting, and Draya immediately told the girls that she was done with Jackie and had no plans on reuniting with her in any way, shape or form. When Malaysia brought up Jackie and Doug’s gay themed wedding, Draya felt offended. “I think she’s making a mockery of the gays. You’re getting a straight marriage in front of people who would love to be married to each other but can’t? That’s a slap in the face.”

Malaysia had her own issues with Jackie. She felt as though Jackie used her to get back into the circle, and since she was officially back in, she was “on to the next chick” i.e. Bambi. Malaysia said that she planned to attend Jackie’s wedding but definitely wanted to have a talk with her before the wedding.

Jackie was in full panic mode at rehearsal.  No one was at the club yet except for her daughter, so she was worried that the girls wouldn’t show. As she drove herself crazy with worry, Bambi and Malaysia finally walked into the club. Malaysia wasted no time in letting Jackie know that there was a problem. She told Jackie that she felt unimportant because Jackie included Bambi in her wedding party when she only met her 2.5 seconds ago. Typical Jackie told Malaysia that she adored her and that she was overjoyed that Malaysia was going to be apart of the wedding, which made everything alright again, at least for the time being. Zzzzz.

Now that Malaysia was officially participating in the wedding, we wondered if Laura would follow suite. Since she ditched the wedding rehearsal, it was a big “if” as to if she was going to go. That whole situation bothered Bambi a lot because she didn’t respect that Laura would pretend to be Jackie’s friend and then not attend her wedding without saying anything. When Malaysia and Bambi talked about Laura and Jackie’s fake friendship after the rehearsal, Laura miraculously walked into the room and heard pretty much everything they were saying about her. Perfect timing. Bambi explained to Laura how she felt, and told her that she was sneaky for talking about Jackie behind her back but still being her “friend” in her face. Laura denied it and said that whatever she said about someone behind his or her back she said to their face. Bambi and Laura have only hung out maybe two or three times before so Laura was utterly confused about how Bambi could make a decision about her without getting to know her first. Either way, Bambi felt that Laura’s explanation was acceptable, so they decided that they would be cool, at least for right now.

When it was finally time for Jackie’s 198th wedding, Laura surprised everyone and showed up in a full drag costume. Jackie, of course, was overjoyed that Laura came to the wedding, but wasn’t too sure about her outfit. “I didn’t know whether to laugh or be mad,” Jackie explained. Jackie, your friends are limited here I think you should just be happy that someone decided to show up to your wedding and participate! The wedding turned out to be a success, and everyone had a great time, even Laura who found herself dancing on top of the tables with a couple of the gay dancers!

After the wedding, Brooke was getting ready to celebrate her birthday so she started putting together a pool party. She invited everyone to attend…even Jackie and Draya. Brooke didn’t think that anything would go down between Draya and Jackie at the party, but made it clear to Jackie that if something popped off that she would be taking Draya’s side. “Hear me, and hear me well. Don’t get in the middle of me and Draya, and if you do, you gotta go down with her,” warned Jackie.

When Brooke called Malaysia to invite her to the party, Malaysia asked Brooke if she could bring Bambi! Neither Brooke, Bambi nor the millions of people watching last night’s episode could believe that she would think it was okay to bring Bambi to Brooke’s party, but then again this IS “Basketball Wives” and situations like this seem to be the norm. Bambi told Malaysia that she wasn’t going to attend Brooke’s party because that would be too much drama, especially if Brooke’s ex-boyfriend (the one who started all of the drama between the girls in the first place) was going to attend. Finally, someone on this show with some sense!

When it was time for the pool party, everyone showed up, even Gloria who was finally back from her trip. When Draya and Jackie sat down, Jackie took off her heels and started to lace up her tennis shoes, which in girl world means that something is about to go down. “I don’t know what to expect with Draya, she could flip at any second. I want to be prepared.”  Oh Jackie Christie, you continue to amaze me every episode.
