“Love & Hip Hop: Atlanta” continues its reign of relationship drama and manufactured conflict in this week’s episode, “Thames the Brakes.” The setting: Erica Banks’ release party, a celebratory occasion that quickly devolves into a full-blown confrontation. The Frosts find themselves in the hot seat as accusations fly regarding the ongoing saga involving Yandy, Mendeecees, and Jasmine. If the past is any indication, this confrontation will involve a lot of yelling, finger-pointing, and strategically thrown drinks.

Zane’s less-than-stellar behavior also takes center stage, as his apparent lack of commitment to Ashley raises eyebrows among the other women. Whether Zane is genuinely unfaithful or simply enjoys stirring the pot remains to be seen. Amidst the chaos, Amy attempts to clear the air, a noble endeavor that will likely be met with varying degrees of skepticism and resistance.
