Everything was going just fine. Kim’s daughters made an adorable speech about Kroy. The family opens presents, the couple’s families are there, and the 130 plus people all look super happy. But then, with 20 minutes left in the party, Cynthia and Peter show up. With no presents. So they’re tardy for the party (see what I did there?), AND they didn’t bring any gifts? Not okay. And that’s not even what started the fight. "I mean, what was the point of coming,'' Kim asks?

”Did they come for the refreshments?” muses Phaedra? “...Did they not have have snacks at the house?”

When Kim decides to take a breather outside for a bit, Peter starts talking about his bar. Phaedra makes a remark about how she won’t be going there because Peter doesn’t like her. Then they all start discussing Peter’s recent magazine interview, in which he insulted Sheree and Phaedra. Peter defends himself by bringing up Apollo’s recent run-in with the law. Although all that happened was he got pulled over by the cops a week ago, Apollo stands up and the two start yelling at each other. Security approaches the men as the shouting escalates, and then Apollo decides to walk away before it turns into a physical altercation.

Kroy’s pissed and goes to find Kim so he can tell her about what’s going on. Cynthia and Peter leave, and Cynthia cries outside to the cameras, “I’m so embarrassed!” Please. This is a Real Housewives show. Like she didn’t know there was going to be a fight at the baby shower.

Although Kim’s baby shower show-down was the main focus of the episode, the others had their own share of drama. Sheree, busy planning her new home called “Chateau Sheree”, stops by the construction site. The contractor tells her that the 8,000 square foot home probably won’t be ready for another eight months.

NeNe, who was not invited to Kim’s shower, got a visit from her estranged husband, Gregg. He came by to pick up their son, Brentt. NeNe knows that Brentt feels torn between both parents, especially having to be raised in two separate homes, but NeNe isn’t emotionally ready to sign the divorce papers. She does, however, know that her marriage is headed there. It's a rare moment from NeNe in which viewers get to see her human side.

Maybe Kandi will do something next week?
