Dr. Wendy Osefo and Gizelle Bryant are bringing new meaning to the phrase "kiss and make up!"
PEOPLE has an exclusive sneak peek at the upcoming sixth episode of The Real Housewives of Potomac's ninth season, in which Osefo proves she and Bryant have really put water under the bridge.
In the episode, set to air on Sunday, Nov. 10, the women — including Ashley Darby, Mia Thornton, Stacey Rusch, Jassi Rideaux, Keiarna Stewart, Jacqueline Blake and Karen Huger — gather for a getaway in Lake Norman to honor Osefo's 40th birthday. As they venture to for a celebratory dinner, they play a quick game of "F---, Marry, Kill" — but with each other as the options.
When asked for her picks, Osefo quickly shows that she's no longer harboring any ill feelings towards Bryant. "I would f--- Gizelle," she tells the women, who immediately shriek in response.
The show then cuts to Osefo's confessional, and she explains, "We've been at odds for so long, and there's nothing better than makeup sex."
Osefo's revelation follows her reconciliation with Bryant at the beginning of the season. It was a longtime coming for the ladies, who haven't been close since Osefo first joined the franchise in season 5 (Bryant has been a cast member since season 1).
Fans, of course, know why. At the start of Osefo's sophomore season, Bryant suggested her recent "Mommy-Makeover" was in response to alleged rumors Osefo's husband, Eddie, had "a girlfriend" — something he vehemently denied.
Their friendship continued to fray when Bryant remained loyal to Thorton after she threw a drink at Osefo during season 7.
Past apologies at reunions and attempts to fix things never stuck. But this season, Osefo and Bryant really appear to have started over.
The former rivals met for lunch in episode 2 to work on their relationship, respectfully hearing one another's griefs and agreeing that they would try to put their differences aside and forge a new path.
During the conversation, Bryant explained that she's felt alienated in the past by Osefo's tone during their disagreements. "When I think about us, I have felt like, when you're fine, you're fine. When you're angry, you're coming at me very condescending," she said. "There's no room for friendship when you're talking to someone in a demeaning way."
Osefo told Bryant "I can receive that", though noted, "it's unfair to police how we respond to things, especially when someone came knocking at your door."
Rather than get defensive, Bryant calmly clarified, "No no no, I'm not trying to police how you respond to people. I'm just saying I don't like it." To which Osefo added, "I don't like the feeling how sometimes you try to alienate people."
That's when the two appeared to have a breakthrough. "If I don't like you, I don't want to speak to you," Bryant said. "And I will say to you, if I do have an issue with you moving forward, which hopefully I don't, I will tell you what it is... in the moment."
As the two laughed over oysters, Bryant said in confessional, "This is the best conversation that me and Wendy have ever had. I thought that we were not going to be besties but just be better. We might be a little bestie-ish."
"I don't know know if we'll be besties," Osefo said in her own confessional, with a laugh.
Still, the two have so far remained in good standing, and Sunday's episode proves their interactions remain drama-free.
The other women? Not so much, though the game of "F---, Marry, Kill" appears to elicit laughs among them all, even when Darby says she would "f--- Rusch, marry Stewart, and kill Osefo."
"But bring her back to life," Darby laughs.
