'Love & Hip Hop Atlanta' Season 5, Episode 9

Stevie J is looking to get back into the club business on the latest episode of Love & Hip Hop Atlanta and sets up an open call for prospective employees, but gets a surprise when Tommie shows up.

Tommie, who is looking for some new streams of income to support herself in light of Scrapp’s upcoming prison term, asks Stevie J to help her break into the modeling and business world. Stevie, who is aware of Tommie and Scrapp’s issues, agrees to take Tommie under his wing, in part to use her as a bargaining chip to upset Joseline. Tommie also turns on her seductive ways and is subtly suggestive about the possibility of the two getting intimate, a vibe which Stevie returns himself.

Scrapp and Karlie Redd have been enjoying their fling together and appear to becoming closer to being in love than in lust. After a romantic getaway, which included a hotel and massages, Scrapp breaks the news of his upcoming prison term and expresses his affection for Karlie. She also admits her feelings for him and the void he filled due to Lyfe Jennings' absence in her life. Karlie begins to cry at the prospect of losing Scrapp, who comforts her and eases her nerves with talk of even more pampering and quality time together.

Joseline has been snooping around Stevie J’s home during his trip out of town and has come up with some new information she can use to her advantage. She meets up with Dawn and reveals that she’s found the contract that Stevie has been threatening her with and claims that her agreement with him has expired. She plans to pursue her career independently from now on. Dawn and Joseline rejoice over her extrication from her contract with Stevie and the possibility of her future endeavors moving forward.

Things have been rocky between Ernest and Momma Dee. As a result, he decides to have a sit-down with Rasheeda's mother to discuss Momma Dee's erratic ways. Ernest says that Momma Dee is an alcoholic and bipolar and that he's worried about her well-being. He also delves into Momma Dee's tumultuous history and his relationship with her, gaining Rasheeda's mother's sympathy in the process. She shows interest in meeting with Momma Dee in the future.

Tommie is infuriated after finding out about Scrapp and Karlie Redd's rendezvous and shows up to his house to confront him. After the two begin to argue, Tommie attacks Scrapp, who then throws her on a couch to restrain her before security steps in to separate them.

After the confrontation, she also threatens to seduce and sleep with Stevie J and anybody in Scrapp's circle, but he is unaffected by her words. Scrapp goes as far as to offer up his friends' information to make it easier for her to get things going. He also calls her pathetic, which causes Tommie to attempt to attack him again.

Ernest and Momma Dee go to their marriage counselor to discuss the tension in their relationship. The counselor says that there's no unity in Ernest and Momma Dee's marriage and that they have to listen to each other more. Swayed by the counselor's words, the two agree to work toward a better marriage and express their love and appreciation for each other.

Scrapp takes Karlie Redd on a fancy date and tells her about his confrontation with Tommie and asks if she planted the receipt that Tommie found. His question causes Karlie to reevaluate the status of his and Tommie's relationship. Scrapp attempts to ease Karlie's concerns and gets her to put her intuition to the side and enjoy their dinner.

Mimi meets up with Joseline to get to the bottom of Joseline and Stevie J's recent friction. She tells Mimi that Stevie is the father of another child, whose mother also has him on child support. This news completely shocks Mimi. Joseline says that she's spoken to the women in question and that Stevie possibly has another baby out there as well, which leaves Mimi disgusted. She also alleges that Stevie has been using his money to pay for his lawyer fees and expenses. Joseline feels blindsided by the recent turn of events and claims she can't deal with being with Stevie anymore.

Karlie Redd is at the radio station recording and is confronted by Tommie, who shows up uninvited to get to the bottom of her dealings with Scrapp. Tommie feels betrayed by Karlie and inquires about the receipt she found in Scrapp's car. Karlie says that she tried to warn Tommie about Scrapp's philandering ways and says that he doesn't even claim her. Tommie fires back, stating that she has Stevie J as her pawn, but her taunts don't phase Karlie, who serves a disparaging diss. After their war of words, Tommie tries to jump over a table to get to Karlie, but security intervenes and escorts her out. What was almost an altercation puts a nip in the bud of Tommie and Karlie's short-lived friendship and doesn't bode well for the future.
