The heart is a lonely hunter — but hunt, it will … in Atlanta, at least. On the Sunday, November 20, episode of The Real Housewives of Atlanta, it seemed that all of the ladies (excluding Phaedra Parks, who didn’t seem to have anyone of note on her radar) were having relationship woes.

Additionally, Sheree Whitfield and Kenya Moore were still bickering about their unfinished houses. Sheree said everyone knew that “Kenya slept her way to the top of the Z list,” while Sheree insisted her house was not in mother’s name, but in a trust — though no one really seemed to care about their houses except the two of them.

Matt Is Back

Kenya revealed that Matt Jordan‘s plan to win her back had worked. “Matt and I have been back together for two weeks now,” she happily reported to the camera. “It has been great to have someone sane in my life.” After getting an intense workout in with her on-again man, Kenya let Matt share a few things that were on his mind.

First off, he said he was “scared” of the way her group of friends treated each other. Kenya didn’t seem too surprised by that and pretty much shrugged it off. Next, he revealed his mother’s hopes for the future. “When we got in a fight the last time, my mother was like, ‘Don’t you scare my daughter-in-law off!” he said. Kenya asked if his mom was bothered by their age difference, but he insisted his mom was completely fine with it. Then he invited her to his family reunion.

She accepted his invitation and they took a six-hour drive to get there. Kenya complained the whole time. (Obviously!) Once they arrived, however, it wasn’t Matt’s mother Kenya had to contend with: It was his sister.

Kandi’s Ex’s Girlfriend Wants to Get Riley’s Dad Back in Her Life

Did you follow that? Kandi Burruss‘ ex’s new girlfriend, Chris Kelly, paid a visit to Kandi at work (yikes!) to discuss whether there was any possibility for the daughter Kandi shared with him to have a relationship with her dad again. To say Kandi was less than thrilled would be quite the understatement.

“If you go years without checking on your child, that is poster boy for deadbeat,” Kandi reasoned. “Maybe he knows the vibe from you to him,” the new girlfriend suggested. “That’s bulls–t,” Kandi said, adding that for the past three years the baby daddy’s communication has been zero. Kandi added that Riley had tried reaching out to her father in the past, and it had only led to heartbreak. “No offense to Chris Kelly,” Kandi said, “But no thanks.”

Kandi’s new husband, Todd Tucker, had a different take on the situation, arguing that “every daughter should know her dad.” Kandi ultimately asked Riley what she wanted to do, and Riley made it pretty clear she saw things from the same lens as her mom. In other words, she wasn’t looking to restart her relationship with her father at this point. She also added that he should have been the one to come to Kandi, not his girlfriend. She may only be a teenager, but she certainly had a point.

Cynthia and Sheree Deal With Their Exes

Sheree was definitely getting friendlier with her ex-husband, Bob, but that hardly meant she was ready to jump back into bed just yet. Still, Bob was determined to try. He invited her over to his house and made her a terrible smoothie, discussing his recent health kick as evidence that he’d turned over a new leaf. He then asked if he could move into her house. “He never apologized for the infidelity,” Sheree said to the camera. “You ain’t getting in the house that quick.”

Meanwhile, Cynthia Bailey was dealing with the new normal of her soon-to-be ex-husband Peter Thomas. During a chat with her mom and sister, her sister revealed that Peter had called her a couple of times. “He said, ‘I miss my wife,'” her sister reported. Cynthia admitted she missed Peter too, but “sometimes things don’t work out.” She also added that it was OK for her sister to be friendly with Peter, as long as she was still friendlier with her, which seemed like a reasonable request.

Porsha Wants a Baby Daddy

After a quick workout (lots of workouts these days) Porsha Williams revealed to Phaedra that she wanted to have a baby and didn’t want to wait to get married to do it. She then suggested that her ex, some guy named Todd, who is now a lobbyist in Washington D.C., would be a great baby daddy. Phaedra was appalled and told Porsha to aim higher for herself. Porsha thought about that for a few minutes and then went to work out with Todd — and ask if he might want to donate some sperm to her cause.

“I feel like I’m ready to have a family, but I don’t know if that includes necessarily a husband,” she explained to Todd, who looked beyond terrified at the prospect of this arrangement. “I can’t do this,” he said before adding, “I think I can win your heart, eventually.” In other words, if he was going to be the father of her children, he also wanted to be something more. Porsha said they could see where it could go.

Kenya vs. Matt’s Sister

At the family reunion, Matt’s mom asked Kenya what her intentions were. She said she wanted to be his best friend and help him be the best man he can be. Then Matt’s sister jumped in to ask Kenya if she considered herself a cougar. Though it was obvious that Kenya was annoyed by the question, she kept her cool.

“At my age, I wouldn’t be sitting here with him unless I felt like we could have a future together,” she said. “I’m here. I’m happy.” Matt’s sister said she didn’t want to see her little brother get hurt and told Kenya, flat out, that she was “very skeptical” of their relationship. “Your brother is a really strong man,” Kenya said. She then asked his sister not to shut the door on her. For the most part, it seemed the sister agreed. As for his mom, Kenya had won her over. “You’ll be a great daughter-in-law,” Matt’s mother announced to Kenya, who looked happier than ever.
