'Love & Hip Hop Atlanta' Season 5, Episode 10 Recap

From looming jail sentences to a love child revealed, the tears come quickly during this episode of Love & Hip Hop Atlanta.

Ariane, who has been playing the sidelines for much of her time on the show, admits to having an epiphany while at K. Michelle's listening party during last week's episode -- she has decided to pursue a singing career. She catches up with Betty Idol and D. Smith to get their opinion on whether she should attempt to get a deal with K. Michelle's new record label. The two have their reservations about Ariane working with K. Michelle -- they both don't like her. However, they do support Ariane's dreams of becoming a successful R&B artist and the three share a warm embrace in a rare display of genuine sisterhood.

Tammy and Bambi meet up with Deb Antney, Wacka Flocka's mother, to discuss their issues with D. Smith. Bambi wasn't feeling her association with Betty Idol, who previously had a brief fling with Scrappy. During the talk, Deb asks Tammy and Bambi to speak at her anti-bullying panel in honor of her deceased son and suggests that the pair invite D. Smith, whom Deb sympathizes with having been a member of the LGBT community herself.

In a touching moment, Scrapp decides to get pictures taken with his son, King, while continuing to prepare for his upcoming prison sentence. His mother, KK King, is also present and appreciative of the fact that he's able to spend quality time with his son before going away. Things take an emotional turn when Scrapp has a heart-to-heart talk with his son and reveals that he won't be around for the foreseeable future. However, he promises to be a constant presence in his life by communicating through letters, phone calls and pictures.

D. Smith receives a call from Deb, who wants to meet up and have a chat. After arriving, D. Smith finds out about about her invite to the anti-bullying panel she's putting together. She throws a curveball at Deb when she brings up Wacka Flocka's comments and attacks Tammy's character, which leads Deb to rescind her offer from D. Smith to appear on her panel.

Mimi Faust is livid after finding out about Stevie J's alleged secret love child (or two) and confronts him about the rumors. Stevie claims that Joseline's info is false and that he has no illegitimate kids that he knows of and that his wife is sadly mistaken. Mimi discloses that Joseline was the source of the information and details the mounting evidence that his wife has been compiling in an attempt to even the score between the two.

One of the women Joseline claims to have Stevie J's alleged love child is Promise B. Stevie is already aware of her since she's been spreading rumors across the gossip blogs about him. He also says that Joseline has been spiraling out of control and shows Mimi pictures of the damage Joseline caused to his home. Mimi is skeptical of Stevie after seeing the emotion Joseline displayed during their meeting, but seems to be leaning towards believing him. She also agrees to let her ex crash at her house, but only if he's on his best behavior.

During his going away party, KK King has a conversation with Scrapp after sensing that he has a lot weighing on his mind. She promises that his son will be in good hands and urges him to stay strong. Rasheeda, Kirk, Sass and Stevie J also provide words of encouragement, showing Scrapp the support system he has behind him during this trying time.

Delighted to get back on her grind as an artist, Ariane shares the news with Mimi, whom she introduces to D. Smith. The latter will be assisting Ariane in her musical endeavors since she's a producer. Mimi gets a surprise when Betty Idol shows up, whom Mimi remembers from her fight with Bambi. D. Smith recounts her meeting with Deb and her anti-bullying rally with the ladies, who suggest that she put her differences with Deb aside and tell her story on her panel. After mulling over the situation, she considers having a change of heart.

Mimi, Ariane and Betty's words sway D. Smith, who decides to show up to Deb's panel, but her appearance proves to be a disaster. D. Smith tells her life story but not without disapproval from Tammy. She feels that it's hypocritical that D. Smith talks about compassion and understanding since she didn't do that when Tammy gave an explanation regarding her husband Waka Flocka's comments about transgender people. Tammy, who is also on the panel, gets into a shouting match with D. Smith, with Deb interjecting and defending Tammy. D. Smith exits at Deb's request, with none of the parties reaching common ground.

Scrapp's moment of truth finally arrives, as he prepares to depart from his family and enter the prison system. Before he goes, he cuts off his long hair and spends time with his loved ones. Scrapp's entire family is in attendance during his final court hearing to show support. With judgement day here, the moment sets the stage for what looks to be an eventful episode of Love & Hip Hop Atlanta next week. Stay tuned.
