- And it's made with love.
- It is made with love.

- Well, you can eat.
You can have fruit salad, darling.
- You look so cute in your apron and - Honey, you're so funny.
You're just-- - I'm serious.

So we have to serve our men first.
You know, that's how they do it in the south.

My one friend is like literally obsessed with chili, mom, And I can't wait to bring him your chili.
- When I cookChili, I make, like, 16 quarts of it.
- She does.
- And then I want to freeze what I don't give away.
- But, yeah, whatever house we find, It's got to have an immensely huge freezer.
- Yeah, we need that.
- Like that one.
And then a pool we can go swim and get cramps in.
[laughter.]
- I'm looking for a house.
'cause the apartment just is not big enough.
Even though not all of my children live with me, You know, there's a constant coming and going.
- I think wherever we move, mama - Uh-huh.
- We should have pull-up bars In every door Every door frame.
- No, I don't think so.
[laughter.]
- You'll hang your clothes on them.
- I'm going to miss georgetown.
You know, there's nothing like security And the concierges and the restaurant And room service 24/7.
But I really think after What I have put my family through the last five years, Living in an apartment, I owe it to them to give them a yard.
- Mom, this food-- phenomenal.
- It's so good.
Thank you so much.
- Thank you.
- I'm just so ad everyone's together.
- Okay, what's that one thing that we like to do, That one step? - Except that we had it-- a hip hut go leftright, left I said-a [fumbling words.]
sigma hut a hip hut [laughter.]
- Nope.
- My girlfriends are in town For howard homecoming.
Because I don't have siblings And my family's really small, They have been like my sisters.
- Stacie, just on a separate side, What's the latest with finding your father? Any update? - Oh, boy.
- We're--we're going to find him.
- I think the last time we talked, Like so much has happened since then, so - Tell us something good.
- So, um I found my birth mother.
- You found your mom? - Found my birth mother who, I was surprised to find out, Is caucasian.
- Oh, my goodness.
- Like first generation immigrant From germany and finland.
Through these letters and so forth, She wanted to have a "secret relationship.
" - "secret"? - Secret.
Because her family has absolutely no idea About me or her having a child with an african man, A black child.
My birth mother is white.
Her husband is white.
Her son is white.
The fact that she had a baby with a black man Is a problem.
More interestingly, I found out That my birth father is nigerian, Which I had no idea either.
They met in the peace corps.
He was a teacher of all of the peace corps vonteers.
She ended up getting pregnant, Getting sent back to the states.
You know, it's, like, complicated-- - Does your father know about you? - He doesn't know that I exist.
- Are you kidding me? - That is crazy.
I've now, for the past year and a half, Like, begged, pleaded, done everything To try to get his information, And she won't give it to me.
- Well, she's selfish.
- Definitely.
It's very, very selfish.
- I think that my birth mother's entire world Would be rocked by the fact that she had a black child.
I think it would be scandalous.
Straight scandalous.
I would just like to know, you know, who he is.
It's like closing the loop, you know, like Knowing where you came from.
It's like, you know, my history, culture.
You know, who's my people? The reality that she is my mother, But for whatever the circumstances are, She can't acknowledge that-- That isomething that hurts, no matter what.
I mean, she refers to me-- I'm the cret.
And I'm like, I'm not a secret.
I'm a person.
So - With feelings.
- I need to know.
Girl, don't be wellin' up over there.
Let's--don't-- don't be wellin' up.
- We just need to get a plan.
'cause you nd to get on it - Anyway, we'll see.
We'll see.

- I was envisioning you having something Much more luxurious and sexy and-- - But I also-- I'm cutting you off.
I explained to you - Latex walls? [laughter.]
Go on.
Sorry, darling.
Keep going.
I wouldn't want to sit in any of the chairs For more than about five minutes.
Especially with my knobbly bottom.
- Shh.
- Just shut up.
Just shut up! - This is my best friend's store.
We need to be - SoTo make it warm, sexy, intimate, that's not-- - Black and white is not warm and sexy, darling.

- UmOkay, I've been dying To tell you this story all day.
Michaele and her husband Invited us to go to The congressional black caucus dinner, Which was amazing.
And-- - it's one of the biggest Weekends for-- It is the biggest weekend for the african-american community.
- Yeah.
And she comes up to us and says, "you guys are in.
We got tickets.
"we're all gonna go together.
Get your tuxedos in order.
We're gonna have a great time.
" So we show up at the event, And they pull out the invitation, And the invitation says, "admits one.
" And we were like This is weird.
So I was like, "hey, this invitation says--" "oh, don't worry, don't worry, don't worry.
"when we get there, it's gonna be fine.
"let's just go through security, And it'll not be an issue.
" And we all ended up getting in.
- How did you get in? You just walked through? - Yeah.
They just - Shuttled you through.
- Yeah.
So the stage is here, And then there's the vip section that's all roped off here.
- It's all roped off because of the dignitaries that are there, Like the president.
.
[laughs.]
- Like the president of the United States.
We just are standing while they're sitting down And introducing themselves to everyone at the table.
And they stand up and come over and they say, "this is what we're gonna do.
"we'll go around the room, "and any place that we see people that aren'tSitting, "take two or three napkins out of the glasses, And set them on the chair.
" Because they're always at these events.
People don't show up, and so there's always empty seats.
- That's my idea of hell on earth.
- Yeah.
I helped ted and jason Get introduced to some of the important people in d.
C.
It does not look good For them to be sneaking into any parties, Especially when the secret service is involved.
- I'm like sweating.
Panicking.
Thinking, "oh, my god.
How in the world did I end up in this situation?" At the same time, michaele is working the room, Finding people that she knows, saying, "do you know If there's people that haven't shown up for this table?" - I'm really embarrassed for everybody.
I don't know about you, but I'm really - So all of a sudden, Five or six secret service guys Come over and tap them on the shoulder, And they're like, "you can't be here.
You need to leave.
" - to them.
- To them.
They're getting escorted out by Security.
- Secret service.
- Secret service.
- The president's detail.
- Yes.
And then we don't really see anything of them.
- Meanwhile, you're like, "I don't really know them.
I'm at this table with" - like, la la la la la.
[laughter.]
- I was amazed at michaele and tareq Sneaking into the black caucus dinner, Because I wouldn't even go to a charles tea party Unless I was invited.
So they got escorted out.
- Even while they're getting escorted out, They're like - Still handing out business cards.
- Laughing - And they're taking Their wine glass and bottle - Honestly, I've never in my life seen anything like it.
- Brazen.
- Fascinating.
- Did you say brazen? - Yeah.
- It's perfect.
That word is perfect.
- I say to ted, I'm like, "I wonder what happened to them.
" He goes, "look right over there.
" Inside the vip - Oh, don't tell me they managed to be thrown out And then back in somewhere else.
- In the vip.
Through the whole evening.
- I cannot wrap my head around the idea That tareq and michaele Attend events they're not invited to And are at every fabulous party.
I don't get it.
- Coming up next on the real housewives of d.
C - YouSnuck in To the congressional black caucus dinner? - Oh, no! - Yeah, and then--yeah.
- Got everything? - I think so.
Oh, man, this is gonna be a great trip.
- I wonder what their vineyard looks like, Relative to sugarleaf.
- I know.
That's such a good question.
I'm really gonna be interested to see that.
- Tareq and michaele invited us to their vineyard, oasis, In order to stomp grapes.
So I'm so excited to finally see this vineyard That I've read about, that I've heard about.
- Hey, hey.
- Hi! - How are you? - Good.
- Hey, lady.
- Hello, darling.
- How you doing? Ooh, I love this.
- There you go.
- Let's do it.
- Cheers.
- Do we get to take a tour of the whole vineyard? That would be fun.
- Has anybody been there? Everyone looking around.
Has anybody been to where we're going? - Looks good.
We're back.
Here it is.
- The first grape stomp since our victory.
- Yeah.
[both laughing.]
The significance of today's grape stomp Is huge for us.
This is the first time we're actually having guests To the winery since the ruling from the judge.
Tareq's mom, for a period, had filed a lawsuit Trying to have him removed from the winery.
And it took 2 1/2 years of litigating, And I'm just grateful to the judge for stopping it.
So we're really happy to host our new friends and guests And do a grape stomp like old times.
The mother has a reporter.
- Yeah, I think local-- - local--like a news guy.
- Yeah, just so you know.
- Okay.
No media's allowed.
- Okay.
- Corinne, tareq's mom, had called a reporter.
She's done that many times.
Uh, cory or jen, did you see tareq? - No, I have not.
- Security told me, He said that there's press media here with your mom.
- Oh, they can't be-- - so they can't, yeah.
It's not open, but we would love the press in the fall.
And we love the media.
We need them.
They've been a great support.
But just not today.
It's just friends.
- Today is the wrong day.
- Yeah.
Wrong day.
- Every family has family drama.
Ours is a little more dramatic.
My mother, she tries to disrupt these events That michaele and I may do.
Hello! Stacie, jason, it's tareq calling from oasis winery.
We are so looking forward to seeing you.
Hey, look, do me a favor.
When you guys pull up in your limo, Please pull up to the right side of the winery.
We've had some interesting developments with my mother Trying to disturb the day and, you know, We really want to make sure you're safe And, you know, protected.
We've got some security here.
So please bring the limo up, and we can't wait to see you And welcome you with a glass of oasis chardonnay.
Cheers.
- OhMy god! - What, what, what, what, what? - Did you hear that? - No, no, no.
- Apparently, his mother is trying to intercede With us coming to visit, And that he has security to let us in.
What the hell? - We're going somewhere where there's security With the police.
- Security? This is crazy! - Nothing adds up about those guys and - My main motivation to going out to that grape stomp Is to see what the actual truth is out there.
What is going on out there? - Hey, guys.
- Hey! - How are ya? Good to see ya.
Great to see you.
- The team in the force again.
- 1, 2, 3-- all: Oasis! [whooping.]
- I still have to change.
- Have you all ever seen michaele separate from tareq? - Never.
Never.
- I have at the salon.
- The only time is when she was behind the counter at nordstrom Selling me makeup in the '90s Before she met him.
- The first time that I-- and I'm interested to hear What they said about this night, About the black congressional caucus dinner.
- Oh, yeah, I saw the pictures.
It looked fabulous.
It seemed like you guys had a great time.
- We had a great time.
It was amazing.
After we snuck in and had no tickets.
- What do you mean, snuck in? - YouSnuck in To the congressional black caucus dinner? - Snuck in.
- Why would you sneak in? - Nobody had tickets.
And there was this whole story going on about Our friends were supposed to meet us here.
They have the tickets.
They're on their way.
And everything was happening very, very quickly.
And we, like, saw a busboy coming out from a side door, And we snuck in the side door.
- Oh, no! - Yeah, and that--yeah.
And then these guys left them.
- To sneak into the congressional black caucus That president obama was appearing at-- It's just rude.
It's just disrespectful.
Especially to the african-american community.
Who does that? We don't go places where we're not supposed to be.
- I think because stacie just met tareq and michaele That she doesn't have any idea The way they roll.
- Don't panic.
- No, I am tripping! Imagine that we just spent, you know, Like, two Two whole days with them.
I felt like I got to know them really well.
And then all this [bleep.]
that you all are saying Completely flies in the face of everything I've been told Or that I've heard, so-- And then all of a sudden I get a call about security When I think I'm going for a lovely afternoon in virginia.
So I'm like, what the hell? I mean, it's just not adding up.
I'm gonna have to call him.
I just have to call.
Literally, I got two young kids.
I can't be walking into something crazy In the middle of virginia with security.
I am too old for that.
Tareq? - Hey, it's stacie.
How you doing? - We are.
So tell me, what's going on? What's your mom's shenanigans? What's happening? - Tareq.
- Listen, are we safe to come down to your place? [beeping.]
- Aah! - AhYes! [laughter.]
- Coming up next - We're in the middle of virginia.
Why should there be any security threats? It's quite bizarre to have security here In the middle of nowhere.
- Honey, men just need boot camp, period.
I mean, seriously, about everything.
All the men I've ever met in my life need boot camp.
They just need simple training.
If you don't, like, get in their face and say, "here's all the reasons why you need to behave.
" - And you do that.
- Yeah.
And--and-- - I could help teach.
- [chuckling.]
I don't think so, darling.
Boot camp 101 is Learn to read your text messages, And if you can't read, listen.
- I was.
- No, you weren't.
You were watching basketball or baseball.
Ooh, who's winning the world series right now? - I have no clue.
- Yes, you do.
Don't tell me a story.
- I don't know! - Are you serious? - Yeah! Baby, when I'm with you, Nothing else matters.
- Darling, that's such horse[bleep.]
.
But you know what, by the way? Did you learn that in boot camp 101? 'cause I'm all about that.
- World series? What world series? - Oh, honey, what's the world series? Honey - You know, my mom is unpredictable.
You never know what she's gonna do.
So we've got a couple extra security there Just to watch over the place.
- When we first arrived at the vineyard, I was surrounded by what I thought were secret service With black, dark shades and, uh, earpieces.
- Hey! They're here.
Hey.
- We're in the middle of virginia, You know, for god's sake.
Why should there be any security threats anyway? - Welcome to oasis.
- How are ya, cat? - Welcome.
- Welcome to oasis winery.
- Welcome to oasis.
Oh, my gosh, I love you.
- You look amazing.
- Hey, mary, how are you? Great to see you.
Welcome to oasis.
- Love the sweater.
- How are you? - Nice to see you.
Thanks for coming, up, beautiful.
- Hey, michaele, let's invite everyone For a glass of chardonnay.
Cheers, cheers.
Welcome to oasis winery.
Great to see you.
- This is great.
- Are we stomping red grapes or - Red.
Here's the basic rule.
You've gotta make 3 gallons of wine.
- Is it a contest? - If you-- If you make 3 gallons of wine, Each one of you get a bottled wine of your choice.
- You know, tareq, I like how you doing it, man.
You got all the senses going.
We got sight, smell, taste.
Know I'm missing a couple, but y'all know what I mean.
[laughter.]
- I was pretty upset that, you know, the fact That there was obviously something going down.
You know, why are we pretending That everything's absolutely fine, And there's your mother on the terrace there, You know, and we've got security around us And we're in the middle of virginia? Yoknow, let--let's be real.
It's quite bizarre to have security here In the middle of nowhere.

They were supermarket grapes.

- There was not one ounce Of liquid produced from that grape stomp.
Not one drop.
[overlapping chatter.]
- That was fun.
- Mary [chattering.]
- The grape stomp was a lot of fun.
Cat kind of stayed to the back And I kind of wondered Well, if you're not gonna be a part of it, Why did you come? - There wasn't one grape that was from virginia.
There wasn't one grape that wasn't from the supermarket.
- I think cat didn't want to get dirty, But it's not really-- you don't really get dirty.
You know? It's just some grape juice, and it doesn't-- See how it doesn't stain? - At least it's a nice day for bollocks.
I told you my patience is really running thin.
- That was really great.
- Bollocks! - All right, gang, let's go.
Follow us.
- it's all bollocks round here - That was really cool.
It really looked good.
- It did.
- It really did.
- I'm really pleased everyone else is faking it, 'cause you sure as hell are doing a really good job, 'cause I can't fake it.
- Who cares? - I know, I know.
- Yeah, whatever.
- Yeah, but the grapes were-- - WhoCares? - It was fun.

- Yeah, why didn't she stay? - Jason I knew had an event, but - Who knows? Cat If she gets the sense that she's not into it, She's just gonna cut it off.
- She treated you kind of rough And said you were controlling or whatever.
- She says whatever the hell she wants, And she forms opinions very quickly.
- But it's not good to insult people, don't you think? Or do you feel good about that? - I-I-I-- My position is you don't judge.
- You never insult.
No.
- What did she do to insult? I just--I don't know.

- Boom! It's a lot of clinking going on, And that's what's up.
- So what happened on the ride out? Was it fun? What happened in the limo? What? Share.
- Jason had a story.
Something about the Congressional black caucus dinner And - And basically he said that they were invited-- And they were invited by you all as guests, And when they got there, they didn't have tickets.
So they were embarrassed and mortified And couldn't understand how they had been invited To an event without tickets.
- We did have a ticket.
It's just his seat was over in this section, And he wanted to move to the other section.
- Yeah.
- No one gets in to where the president speaks Without tickets.
- It's a little difficult for some white folks to like Sneak into the congressional black caucus like - You're always cool.
- Undetected.
I mean, like That's like me going-- That's like stacie sneaking into The daughters of the american revolution dinner.
"I'm gonna sneak in through the kitchen.
" - And it's not gonna be like-- - "they won't notice me.
" Like what-- I'm sorry.
[laughter.]
- no.
- Mary, gimme your glass, girl.
- That is great.
I love it.
- We gotta toast up.
- That is very funny.
- There's two sides to every story.
So who knows what the truth is.
- Okay, so that was the The craziness in your limo ride.
Talking about us.
That's good.
My mom said if they're not talking about you, Then you're not out there, soIt's good to be out there.
- [chuckles.]
you were out there.
- If you wanna talk about me, that's good.
I'm okay with that.
- IBelieve in building people up.
I don't like to talk about people.
If I have anything negative to say, I'm not gonna say it.
- That's the right thing.
That's what I told your girlfriend lynda.
If you don't have anything nice to say, Don't say it at all.
Remember, at the party I threw for paul? - I don't know lynda very well-- - I don't know her that well either.
- She seems very nice to me.
- Right.
- But obviously, you all have a history.
- That's your best friend, So maybe you could tell me why - She's one of my dearest friends.
I don't have a best friend.
- Oh, okay, dearest friend.
You know, at paul's party-- - I have dear friends.
- I couldn't understand why she would belittle me at-- She's my guest at that party.
- Tell me how she belittled you.
- Well, to say I need protein, I'm too skinny, I'm anorexic.
That's kind of rough.
- She didn't bring it up that night--you did.
- Because paul said she and her were talking about me.
- But the fact that it was raised at that party Was inappropriate.
- No, what I said was-- they were talking, And I said, "oh, I heard you talking about me.
" Why are you talking to him about me? - Because I'm allowed to talk to him.
- But talk to me.
If it's something about me-- - Excuse me-- - no, excuse me.
- No, excuse me.
- You know lynda.
- Not really.
I never thought she'd do that.
- You've known lynda for a long time.
- I don't know her anymore.
- LyndaAlways has the best intentions For everyone.
And she adores you, michaele.
- Really? - I Know lynda.
I wouldn't take it as an insult.
- She pointed at me and said, "you need a burger and fries.
You're too skinny.
What are you, anorexic?" And then what did she say? She said, "I have a lot more coming for you.
" - But I think it was probably A comment made out of love and concern for you.
- I don't think so.
- See, she's shaking her head too.
- No, I agree with what you're saying there.
Like, I don't think that lynda's trying to be malicious.
But to say she has your best intentions-- That's bull[bleep.]
.
- If you make fun of me, I'm gonna say, why are you doing that? What's unhappy about you that you feel good That you're gonna make fun of someone Whether they're thin or fat? - I believe that too.
- Lynda doesn't really Know how to be a friend, I think.
I was very hurt when she didn't come.
I thought, after insulting me, It was time that she just did something nice.
But she's her dear friend, so let's switch the topic.
Let's enjoy the food.
Let's find something new to talk about, And life's too short.
- Coming up next - I heard in the suite you, lynda, and cat Took great enjoyment making fun of me.
- There's--there's one There's one scenario that I have to ask you about.
- Anything.
- So at the ted gibson dinner Now, all of a sudden, I leaned forward And I looked over, and I hear you going, "ask mary.
She likes to talk about people.
" - Oh, I don't remember saying that.
- And I went "oh, my gosh.
" - I don't remember saying that.
- I just don't wanna be that girl to you.
I don't talk negatively - Well, I hope You're never that girl.
- About people.
- Right.
- You just have no idea - Right.
I think I heard-- - What is going on in someone's life.
You can't just bash them.
You can't-- - who bashed you, love? - I don't know, but I heard you say to - Oh, that's right, because stacie mentioned That you in the suite - "why don't you ask mary? She likes to talk about people.
" - Right.
I heard in the suite you, lynda, and cat Took great enjoyment making fun of me.
So hearing that-- - I was not making fun of you.
- Mary wasn't a part of that.
