RECAP: ‘Little Women: NY’ — Lila & Dawn Confront Katie About PJ [Season 2, Episode 6]

Doesn’t it seem like it’s been forever since we’ve talked Little Women: NY. Someday we’ll get to the Roots of the problem for the two-week break. In the meantime, we resume mid baby-shower fight with Jess kicking Lila out of the party, but she won’t go. So Jess storms off. Don’t worry about pregnant honoree, Katie. She’s not even there. She’s at the hospital getting a last minute ultrasound. So, Jason seizes the moment to remind Lila this is the exact same situation as tossing out NY Tara from their housewarming party. Dawn and Lila think it’s completely different, but they are wrong. Argument ensues.

Then Lila and Dawn start slamming Boozing Jess behind her back about her filthy apartment – that Katie, and now PJ, swooped into. Lila can be a tad self-righteous (*understatement) but she does care about the baby. Somehow this gets turned into the “We are the world, We are the little people,” song and Jason keeps telling Dawn to shut her mouth, but Dawn won’t listen. Jess returns to the party and pours herself an extra-large whisky and coke, licking her chops at Lila who is now sober.

Katie and PJ return with happy results, but Katie is not happy to see Lila. Jess tells her the meltdown has already occurred, but Lila wants to hand out the olive branch. Guess where Katie wants to stick it. She tells the gang the baby is six pounds. That’s awesome! Let’s open presents and act like we’re having fun as Lila critiques each gift. Then Lila private gives a monologue of an apology for her rude behavior to Katie. And then she slams best friend Jess for drinking like a single girl living the fun life. Finally, the baby shower that lasted three weeks is finally over.

The following day, Jazmine and Jason are talking smack about Lila being just like Tara, only Tara was actually invited that party when suddenly the bathroom door bursts open and Lila says, “Umm, I can here you, these wall are thin.” And we are back and forth with how (un) different these situations are. When Jason starts calling you, “Boo-boo,” you know he’s pissed off. Jazmine shuts down the yelling.

Over the weekend, it’s date night for Jason and DJ. They meet for dinner and for Jason to vent about the troubles living with two women. DJ asks if Jason has thought about moving to Connecticut with him. It’s the logical next step for two people who barely know each other. But let’s face it, long-distant relationships rarely work, so something’s gotta give. But Jason throws in a wrench when he says he’ll only live in NYC or LA. Is this a warning for a show switch? Does he miss Tara that much? What will his parents say? Inquiring minds!

PJ and Katie are taking a baby prep class when PJ grabs one of the dolls by the foot, aptly demonstrating his intelligence. When the instructor hears that PJ and Katie don’t have even a baby-seat, she tells them the hospital won’t let them take the baby home without it. PJ is still in denial, repeating, “It’s all good in the hood.” And how will they pay for everything, Katie ponders? Blessings from the big man upstairs, PJ postulates. Katie is finally recognizing PJ has not come to terms with how their lives are drastically about to change.

Dawn’s friend Doris is a fellow paralegal in town for a visit so they meet Lila for some lunch and Tinder Talk. Lila shares a story about hooking up with a cute guy the night before within ten minutes of swiping to the right. He was 6’4” with really, really, really huge hands and they played “dominoes.” Then they enjoyed some hair pulling and smacking Lila’s huge ass with his huge hands. I AM SHOCKED, said no one. But here’s the thing, not only does Lila like one-night stands with complete strangers, she also likes to shock complete strangers with her Tales of Whore. Could there be another intervention in our future? Fingers crossed!

Later, Lila and Dawn take Katie’s mom, Kathie, to lunch for gossip on Katie. Kathie says they are all stepping on each other’s toes over PJ’s stupidity. He had the nerve to tell Katie a C-section is no big deal! Hello? It’s major surgery. Get a vasectomy! That’s considered minor. We learn that PJ is in his 40’s and Kathie has been supplementing their income. Dawn and Lila plan to talk to Katie about her mooching boyfriend who hasn’t even put a ring on it. Kathie is hopeful this works, but we all know it won’t.

From his apartment, Jason calls his older brother Jonathon who lives in Illinois. They video chat and Jason shares that DJ wants him to move to Connecticut, and how their mom is over the top worried about Jason because he’s little and he’s gay. Jonathon advices Jason to wait to tell his mother anything. Jason tearfully shares his fears that DJ will dump him if he doesn’t move in with him. His brother cheers Jason up by telling him they should be worth the wait.

Jazmine meets her trainer in the park and invites Jess along. It’s a tough workout, and afterwards the girls talk about Jess’ living arrangements. Turns out, she too is butting heads with PJ. But Jess doesn’t mind continually telling PJ to get his $hit together.

Across town, Dawn and Lila join Katie to help do laundry, but really it’s just a PJ bashing session. They ask about what else she needs and Katie says she feels better that her mother is here. Dawn tells her they’ve been talking with her wonderful mom and they know Katie isn’t getting enough help with PJ. Let’s face it, PJ’s music ain’t paying the bills. Katie freaks out over their overstepping and rude behavior, tells them she hates them, and walks out of the laundry mat. They follow, but Katie tells Dawn she’ll talk to her, but not Lila. Lila walks away saying, “Kill me for caring.” If you insist.

Katie tells Dawn she’s done with this conversation, then she starts cramping and calls her mom crying. Her mom instructs her to come home and they will all go to the hospital together. In the cab, Katie is having contractions. Jess rubs her shoulders and tells her to take it easy. Katie tells her mom not to run her mouth to the “judgmental ones” ever again.

Tune in next week when Katie has her baby and Lila gets tongue lashing about her slutty behavior.
