Love & Marriage: Huntsville Season 4, Episode 2 Recap: “You Scotts to Be Lying”
I’m back with another Love & Marriage: Huntsville recap, and this episode brings baby oil, loaded potatoes, and a pajama party with very little peace. “You Scotts to Be Lying” gives us plenty to discuss, so let’s get into it.
Spoiler warning: I’m recapping Season 4, Episode 2. If you haven’t watched yet, come back when you’re ready. Everybody else, let’s get started…
Martell’s Calendar Shoot Needs Baby Oil
The episode begins with Martell at a photography studio in a robe, but he says he needs some baby oil to put on his skin. He asks his manager if she brought some, but she didn’t. So he calls Destiny, who is at her beauty supply store, to bring him some. He already anticipates that Destiny will say something slick to him… notice the pun?
She answers the phone with “What you want?”
Lol.
They exchange pleasantries, and then he laughingly tells her he is at a photo shoot and needs her to bring him some baby oil. Destiny is shocked and suspicious. She wants to know what he has going on that he needs some baby oil. He tells her he is trying to be sexy in his photos, and since she is only minutes away, would she bring him some? She agrees and hangs up.
Martell says he is doing a calendar at his manager’s request. He says being sexy is not in his comfort zone, but he likes doing new things. He also tells us he and his manager have been just friends for years. We don’t care, but it’s interesting that he had to tell us that!
She says he is about to be really busy with all of the things she has lined up for him, and he says she has been managing him for the past several months. He has an upcoming book release because apparently he and his children have written a children’s book… Hmmm. Didn’t Melody’s mother already do that? But I digress…
He gets emotional talking about his children writing and how proud of them he is. Martell is led over to a bathtub for the next shot. He looks apprehensive about taking a photo in the bathtub, but his manager tells him they are taking risks. He would rather take a picture in a suit… Sigh. Martell and his tight suits? Been there, done that!
At this time, Destiny arrives with the oil, and when she sees Martell in the robe, in the bathtub, she immediately has a frown on her face. He tells her not to ask any questions, but Destiny wants to know why he is in the tub. She is wondering what exactly she signed up for, moseying on down to this studio. Do you blame her?
The cameraman suggests that Destiny apply the oil to Martell’s body, and Destiny immediately hands the oil to his manager, lol. Destiny refuses to touch Martell, and again… Do you blame her? She just wants Martell to put the robe around himself a little tighter.
Destiny tells him she is proud that Martell is branching out and doing new things. She points out that his manager’s name is similar to Melody’s, and he tells her his manager is the original “Mel” because he knew her first.
Destiny tells him that Melody eavesdropped on a conversation between her and Latisha. She recounts that Melody is mad because she was speaking to Latisha, whom Melody feels is her enemy, and now she and Destiny have fallen out. Martell warns Destiny that now she is also Melody’s enemy. He says Melody keeps “yes” girls around her.
Destiny leaves, and Martell continues his photo shoot. Say what you will, Martell does have a nice body…

Melody and Stormi Talk Business and Boundaries
Melody goes to visit her friend Stormi at the warehouse where products for her hair care line are produced. As we know, Melody has a skin care line, so she needs some tips from Stormi, who is apparently a successful business owner. Stormi gives her some valuable business advice.
Out of the blue, Stormi asks Melody how the reunion was. She also brings up that she was laughing when Melody said she didn’t remember giving a man fellatio. So were we, Stormi. But Melody says she said that because she doesn’t owe Martell any explanations, and it is no one’s business.
True.
Melody invites Stormi to her pajama party, and Stormi asks who is going to be in attendance. Melody tells her, and when she doesn’t include Latisha or Destiny on the list, Stormi asks why. Melody tells Stormi about overhearing them both talking negatively about her. Because she can’t get past it, neither of them is invited.
Stormi says she has reservations about Tiffany, who will also be attending the party. She says Tiffany comes across as strange and thirsty. Stormi wants to feel Tiffany out but is disappointed Destiny is not coming to the party.

Scott Manor, Loaded Potatoes, and Wanda’s Questions
Latisha goes to visit Marsau for an update on Scott Manor and how the construction is coming along. Basically, it’s still where it was last time. Their family has been living in an investment property pending the building of the new house, and Latisha is tired of being there.
Latisha’s mother, Wanda, wanders into the office. Marsau makes a joke in the confessional that he was unaware vampires could enter without an invite. He says she must be a daywalker. Latisha tells him he needs to be more respectful when speaking of her mother…
Excuse me, Latisha. Why is it that your mother can be as disrespectful as she wants to be, to any and everybody, but you seem to be deluded into thinking it’s inappropriate for people to give her just a small taste of her medicine? But continue reading the recap to see that the apple doesn’t fall far from the tree…
Wanda tells them she got a call that her food truck is almost ready. She says she already sent all the information over to Latisha. Marsau wants to know why things were sent to Latisha. Latisha tells Marsau that they are investing in Ms. Wanda’s food truck.
Now we see that Latisha is not as innocent as we like to paint her out to be. Just like Marsau went off to Africa and left her behind, Marsau had no idea Latisha had made the decision to invest in her mother’s business without first getting his approval. So next time people want to feel sorry for Latisha, I would think twice.
No woman deserves to be mistreated. Latisha making a financial decision without an agreement deserves criticism too. That doesn’t excuse Marsau disregarding her feelings. These two need the same rules for each other.
When Latisha announces they are paying for the truck, Marsau looks shocked. Latisha says they did talk about it, but Marsau didn’t agree. In her confessional, a smug Latisha tells us she always gets what she wants. So the household decision-making process is surprise first, discussion later? That explains a lot.
Marsau asks about the truck, and Ms. Wanda tells us it’s going to be a truck that specializes in loaded potatoes, and they will be fully loaded. Well, if I ever travel to Huntsville, I wouldn’t mind trying out the truck. Ms. Wanda looks like she can throw down in the kitchen.
Marsau tells her he can write the check today if Ms. Wanda goes and gets him a cup of coffee, which she refuses to do. She tells him to tell his wife to do it.
Ms. Wanda brings up the drama surrounding the picture Marsau posted on social media of Maurice. Marsau jokingly downplays the post, but Ms. Wanda is not having it. And we watch the interaction while Latisha sits quietly, low-key smirking, enjoying her mother berating her husband. It’s not that Marsau doesn’t deserve it; it’s that Latisha wouldn’t dare come at him that way, and we all know it. So she allows her meddling mama to do her work for her as if she is twelve years old.
Ms. Wanda says birds of a feather flock together, meaning, in her view, if Martell is a cheater, anyone who hangs with him is also a cheater. Marsau says he never hung out with Martell alone, as if that makes a difference.
Ms. Wanda asks Marsau if he ever rented or had an apartment with Martell. That is her question, not confirmation that they shared one. Ms. Wanda has a lot of nerve butting into her daughter’s business, but instead of telling her “nunya,” Latisha seems to be waiting for his answer just like the rest of us were.
Marsau doesn’t immediately answer, and Ms. Wanda tells him not to play with her. It is a yes-or-no question. But Marsau being Marsau still doesn’t answer. He just skates on along because who does Ms. Wanda think she is, demanding he answer the rumors that her own daughter doesn’t get answers to?
FOH. Ms. Wanda is trippin.
Ms. Wanda says when people say things about Latisha, she has a problem with it. Well, don’t read my recaps, Ms. Wanda. When things happen, I try to be fair, but not everything will be favorable to Latisha because not everything she does is favorable. And her sitting there while you question her husband about rumors was not cool. I was irritated.
Marsau tells Ms. Wanda that if he had a secret, he wouldn’t tell her. Because Marsau won’t give Ms. Wanda a straight answer, she treats that as proof he is lying. That is her conclusion, not proof of the rumors. She gets mad and wants to talk about something else.
Ms. Wanda, are we discussing the food truck or opening a private investigation? Because this meeting has changed departments.
Latisha says the rumors about her husband are laughable. Okay, Latisha, I will remember you said that. You better not shed tears and whine like you did all these other seasons when you tried to get answers from your husband. I want to see you crack up laughing instead, got it? She says she believes Marsau has been 100 percent honest with her. Well, that’s all that matters, sister girl.
Let’s move on…

Jaylin Checks In on Kimmi and Maurice
Kimmi’s son Jaylin is relaxing on the couch when she and Maurice come into his apartment unannounced. He tries to take them to task about not knocking before entering, but Maurice and Kimmi call him out for doing the same thing in their home, so they are even. Jaylin makes a joke about having a naked girl upstairs, and Kimmi is a bit appalled.
Lol.
They sit down to talk, and Jaylin asks them if their marriage is okay because he saw the picture Marsau posted on social media, read the comments, and is wondering if Maurice has cheated on Kimmi.
Maurice assures Jaylin that the things being said in the comments concerning the post are not accurate and that Marsau posted the picture to be funny. Kimmi reassures Jaylin that she and Maurice are good and their marriage is solid. Jaylin says he did see signs that could lead him to believe there was cheating, but they all laugh it off.
Kimmi and Maurice need a sitter for the dog because they are going on a trip, and Monster will be with his mom while they are away. Jaylin agrees to watch Zeus.
Melody’s Black Pajama Party
First to arrive is Stormi, and side note, I like Stormi’s hair curly. It looks really nice. Next comes Kimmi, followed by the rest of the gang. Remember, they are all wearing the black pajamas Melody purchased for the women at the party. They will all be sleeping in glamorous tents equipped with lots of fancy decorations and pillows.
Last to arrive is Keke, who is Latisha’s cousin. Now, Melody, you get the side eye for inviting Keke and not Latisha when you know they are family. Keke, did you know Latisha wasn’t invited? Because showing up is one thing; joining the conversation about her is another.
Keke asks Kimmi where Latisha is, and Kimmi reminds her that it is not her party. Keke doesn’t seem upset to learn Latisha was not invited. That was strange, but keep reading because this party gets even stranger…
Stormi brings up that Kimmi got a lot of backlash due to the picture messy Marsau posted. She hated that because she really likes Kimmi, enough to want to defend her. Keke asks Kimmi if she and Maurice have dealt with the fallout from the post.
Kimmi is tired of addressing this issue, but she entertains it anyway. And now you all are seeing what I think was the motivation for Marsau posting the picture. Previously, Kimmi didn’t have the attacks on her marriage that Latisha has been dealing with… until now! My read? Marsau had a purpose, and it wasn’t just to be funny.
Melody asks Kimmi if she believes the rumors being spread about Marsau. Kimmi doesn’t believe that on the trip, Marsau and Maurice had side pieces as Martell’s former mistress alleges. Those allegations remain disputed.
Stormi asks Kimmi if she feels Marsau posted the picture to deflect. Kimmi says if that was his intention, it did not deflect the attention off Marsau. That’s true, Kimmi, but if I were you, I would be upset that Marsau made the public start questioning your marriage the way they do his. Melody and Stormi seem intent on getting Kimmi to see something she is clearly not ready to see.
Keke Joins the Conversation About Latisha
Then Melody starts talking about Latisha, and rather than excusing herself from the conversation, Keke not only sits there, she joins in…
Melody asks Keke if she has had a discussion with Latisha about the rumors of Marsau cheating. Rather than declining to answer, Keke says she and Latisha have had open conversations about it. She says Latisha has not seen any of the things Marsau is being accused of, and that is Latisha’s “truth.”
Dang.
Is all of Latisha’s family messy? Kimmi wonders if everybody was going to be talking about Latisha, shouldn’t she have been invited? I agree.
Next…
Tiffany’s Transparency Becomes the Topic
The ladies are helping themselves to some delicious-looking food when they sit down and another conversation sparks up, this time between Kimmi and Tiffany. Tiffany feels Kimmi came for her and Louis a little harshly and wants to know if they are all good.
Tiffany says Kimmi brought up a claim that she was fired from the Chamber of Commerce, and she wants to clear up that rumor. Tiffany says she was not fired but left to start a new job. These are the accounts being discussed, not independently confirmed employment details.
Kimmi says she only brought it up in an effort to show Tiffany was not being transparent when she requests that everybody else on the cast be so. Kimmi says she is not angry with Tiffany. So they are good.
Stormi sits down with her plate and, because she didn’t hear all of the conversation, asks Kimmi about it. Kimmi says they were just having a conversation about transparency and the rumor about Tiffany being fired. Stormi asks Tiffany if she still works for the Chamber, and Tiffany reveals she has not worked there for years.
Melody wanders over and sits down with her plate and once again asks Kimmi what is being discussed, so Kimmi tells her.
Stormi says that, from being on the outside looking in, Tiffany came into the friend circle being introduced as Tiffany who works at the Chamber of Commerce, yet here she is saying she hasn’t worked there for five years.
Tiffany is annoyed with the conversation. She says it’s absurd to her. She says it’s like someone bringing up something that happened when she was twelve. Melody gets the dig and takes a hard swallow of her drink. Kimmi and Stormi look confused until the dig becomes apparent to Kimmi, who says to Tiffany, “Oh you was getting smart.”
Stormi doesn’t appreciate Tiffany’s irritation with the conversation and tells her not to get smart because nobody was coming at her like that.
Tiffany, in an effort to move on, asks if anyone is ready for a drink.
How Does the Episode End?
Stormi tells Tiffany she might need a drink and walks off, but not before calling Tiffany a b***h and “crazy.” Those are Stormi’s words, not a mental health assessment.
Uh-oh! This is getting wild…
What Are Your Thoughts?
Was Keke wrong for joining the conversation about Latisha, or was she simply answering a question? And did Tiffany clear things up, or did that conversation leave everybody more confused?
