'The Real Housewives of Atlanta' Season 7: Episode 17 Recap 'Fix It Therapy'
On last Sunday's episode of "The Real Housewives of Atlanta," Todd and Kandi do their "therapy homework" together, Phaedra and Kandi have a heart to heart talk, and Nene walks out of the group therapy session that she organized.
As advised by their counselor, Todd and Kandi are writing down the pros and cons in their marriage. Todd mulls things over for a bit before writing down that Kandi is "family oriented" in the pros column. Kandi says that all she wants is to get the spontaneity back in their marriage.
Later, Kandi visits Phaedra at her office. Kandi says she's hurt and she has no idea why Phaedra turned to Nene instead of her. Phaedra says that Nene noticed that things were falling apart in her life, while Kandi seemed to be preoccupied with other things. Kandi said that the cancellation of her musical, "A Mother's Love," was the reason why she had been distant.

Though Phaedra thinks that that was a poor excuse, both of them agreed to let it go and move on.
"What people say, it doesn't matter," said Phaedra. As long as we have an understanding."
Finally, it was time for the group therapy session with Dr. Jeff. Nene, Kenya, Claudia, Kandi, Cynthia, and Porsha show up, but Phaedra declined, saying that she didn't want to be around "dark hearts."
The ladies are seated in a circle, and Nene initiates the conversation.
"I thought it was important for us to come together," she said. "I think it would be good if we can get on the same page."
While the intervention was Nene's idea, everyone soon agrees that most of the drama is caused by Nene herself. Before the session, she promised to keep an open mind, but Nene manages to find a reason to defend all her actions.
When Kenya asked Nene why they couldn't get along—they've been having problems since Kenya moved to Atlanta—Nene tells her that they will never be friends.
Claudia says that Nene wasn't very welcoming to her either and calls her encounter with Nene a "very bipolar experience." Nene wasn't happy with this and told Claudia to get her act together.
Cynthia said that she was offended when Nene insulted her husband. Cynthia adds that once the rift started, Nene "went above and beyond to destroy the friendship."
"You're not a victim!" Nene snaps at Cynthia. "You are a mean girl. You found your voice yet?"
Kandi says that Nene has always made it known that she was one of the first Housewives and finds the need to constantly "mark her territory". Nene finally had enough and storms out of the session. Dr. Jeff follows her, but she refuses to come back.
"This must be Attack Nene Day," she tells him. "Those people are very wrong."
'The Real Housewives of Atlanta' airs on Sundays at 8pm on Bravo.
