Okay bestie, let’s get into this because OWN really gave us a new guilty pleasure with Heart & Hustle: Houston. Four episodes in and I feel like I know these ladies personally—like we’re all sitting around sipping wine, talking about life, love, and a whole lotta drama. So let’s break it down, friend to friend.
Episode 1: Makin’ It Rain
The show kicks off at La’Torria’s restaurant opening, and baby, the shade was hotter than the food. Chloe wasn’t shy about pressing Alaina to talk about her marriage struggles, and it was giving “girl, not in public!” vibes. You know that friend who brings up your business at the WORST time? Yeah, that’s Chloe. But honestly—it set the tone for the whole season: real lives, real issues, and not a fake smile in sight.
Episode 2: The Good, the Bad and the Fine
This one slowed things down a bit. Alaina and Josh had a heartfelt moment talking about healing their marriage, and it actually felt hopeful. Meanwhile, Muneera linked back up with Norm, and the rest of the group had a lot to say about it. You ever see your girl go back to somebody you know isn’t good for her? Exactly. Messy but relatable.
Episode 3: Very Cutesy, Very Demure
Now THIS was the spa day from heaven… until it wasn’t. LeBrina was playing hostess, giving the girls the full luxury treatment, but of course drama doesn’t take a spa day off. Muneera confronted La’Torria, and Roe dipped her toe into therapy for the first time. It was raw, emotional, and honestly a little too real. Because who hasn’t tried to relax and ended up arguing instead? (Guilty 🙋🏾♂️)
Episode 4: Feels & Heals
Whew, child. The ladies tried to heal with a group session, and for a minute it looked like they were going to be the poster children for “growth and sisterhood.” But then—because this is reality TV—an uninvited guest rolled through and turned the whole vibe upside down. That’s the thing about healing: it gets messy before it gets better. And OWN made sure we got BOTH.
Final Thoughts
Four episodes in and Heart & Hustle: Houston is giving us drama, vulnerability, and enough shady looks to last all season. It’s messy, but it’s real—and isn’t that exactly why we watch?
So tell me, friend:
Who do you think is stirring the pot the most—Chloe, Jordan, or Muneera? And more importantly, are we here for the healing… or the drama? 👀
