The Real Housewives of Potomac (RHOP) aired a brand new episode on Sunday, January 8, 2022, at 8 pm ET on Bravo. The one-hour episode saw cast members take off for their trip to Mexico for Ashley's 34th birthday party, while also navigating issues within the group, including personal relationships, fractured friendships and much more, creating a lot of drama for viewers to witness.

On this week's episode of RHOP, Mia and Jacqueline got into several heated arguments. However, Mia asked Jacqueline to keep her "legs closed to married men," which led to the latter having an emotional breakdown. Fans slammed Mia for talking ill about Jacqueline and felt it was done for a storyline. One tweeted:

Season 7 of the hit Bravo series has been extremely popular amongst viewers, who have made their opinions very clear on social media. Cast members include Candiace Dillard Bassett, Dr. Wendy Osefo, Ashley Darby, Robyn Dixon, Gizelle Bryant, Karen Huger, Mia Thornton, Charrisse Jackson-Jordan, and Jacqueline Blake.

This week's episode of RHOP began with the cast members preparing for their trip to Maya Riviera, Mexico as part of Ashley's birthday celebrations. Karen was worried about the fractured group dynamic and how that would contribute to the drama on the trip. Meanwhile, Gizelle spoke to Robyn while driving her car and gave her friend a health update and also discussed Karen and Charrisse's equation.

Mia and Jacqueline have been the best of friends for the longest time. As the latter made her appearance this season, Mia had back then revealed that it was Jacqueline's mother that took her in. Throughout the course of the season, viewers saw glimpses of the two bonding with each other. Their friendship was even questioned by the RHOP cast members.

This week, Mia was preparing for the trip to Mexico when she addressed her concerns about Jacqueline to her husband Gordon. She said that just because Jacqueline's sister was her house's nanny, it was unfair for her friend to drop her kids off at her house every single time. While Mia felt that it was understandable if it was a few times, but not all the time.

While the RHOP star confessed to being mentally exhausted and drained by Jacqueline, it was only the beginning of the formation of cracks in their friendship. On their flight to Mexico, the duo got into a major argument, which was discussed with the rest of the cast after they reached their destination.

Mia and Jacqueline apparently had an argument about parenting. The former revealed that she was enquired about her friend's kids by her nanny (Jacqueline's sister) during Karen's live show. This led Mia to accuse Jacqueline of not taking care of her kids. However, the latter was upset at the accusation and confronted Mia over her behavior.

Jacqueline told her RHOP castmate that "it takes a village to take care of kids but she (Mia) wouldn't know anything about that," seemingly signaling the fact that Mia didn't have people to raise her. The latter, however, felt that her friend had stooped too low.

During their trip to Mexico, the friends got into another heated argument. While Jacqueline called Mia controlling, the latter asked her friend to keep her "legs closed to married men." This led to her friend having a severe emotional breakdown.
