Southern Hospitality Season 4 is starting with a bang! Literally. But then again, when things hit rock bottom, that's when they can be rebuilt again, right? It looks that way for our Republic crew. Maddi is learning to put her anger aside and move forward. Molly is back in the fold. And Joe is learning that he can't take several months off and expect a promotion. Here's everything that happened in Southern Hospitality Season 4, Episode 2: "Folly Follies."
What Happened on Southern Hospitality Season 4 Episode 2?

The episode picks up right where the last one left off. TJ and Maddi are screaming at each other. Maddi shares that this beef started four years ago when she spilled the tea about Brad getting a back-alley BJ. He got mad and made up a rumor about her beau cheating.
Maddi wanted Brad and TJ to reach out to her and make amends. They thought the beef was over. But it obviously wasn't, hence the Weiner party meltdown.
Eventually, Brad and Maddi moved aside to talk in private. Brad thought they were going to let it go. But Maddi said she was mad Brad didn't check on her at the hotel but had time to hang out outside Emmy's hotel room.
Brad shared that he couldn't help but hear Emmy through the walls. Then Brad revealed Emmy took it a step too far and said she "felt unsafe" around Brad. Yikes. Even Maddi grimaced at that. That's why Brad is so mad.
Maddi shared her lingering resentment about blowing up a relationship with a man she really loved. Brad looked appropriately chastised. The pair eventually agreed to put this behind them and work on rebuilding trust.

The next day, everyone is getting over their hangovers. Lake and Michols meet up and Lake shared that she and Molly resolved their beef, although she was pretty drunk at the time. "Drunken words are sober thoughts," Lake said. So she and Molly are cool.
Not everyone is cool, though. TJ hopped on a call to talk with Mia to share what happened at the event. He told her that Maddi knocked the cutout of her down and stepped on it. Mia said Maddi could feel free to hit her in person next time.
For her part, Maddi invited her sobriety sponsor, Julia, over to discuss what happened and ask for her unbiased advice.
Maddi opens up to Julia about her frustration over everything. She was especially hurt that TJ said they were never friends during the fight. This hurt her so much that she made a (wait for it) PowerPoint presentation about their friendship to prove him wrong.
In the end, Maddi admits that what happened impacted her whole life and her relationship with Joe. Julia (bless her) does the Lord's work and tells Maddi she has a right to feel upset, but she needs to decide what she wants moving forward. And definitely not show TJ the PowerPoint.

As TJ and Maddi think about their fight, Justin thinks about life choices. He admits he's just trying to have fun now. His last relationship imploded because of a threesome gone wrong. Oh dear.
TJ visits and he and Justin shared a bottle of wine poured from his new "dick-canter." Justin admitted that Jordyn has been sleeping over almost every night. He enjoys "clapping cheeks," but he's also looking for more.
Justin revealed that Jordyn accused him of being gay. To be fair, she did see him make out with both Michols and TJ. Justin admitted to exclusively dating women but can also appreciate a good-looking man.
We definitely learned more about Justin. He's pretty open-minded, he shaves his balls, and according to TJ, he's an excellent kisser. Oh, and he has a crush on Mia too!

And it's back to work! The gang heads back to Republic. Michols tried to keep the morale up and reminded everyone to (at least) act excited and go out and do their best.
It's another busy night at the bar. Justin is making plans to hook up with Jordyn again and Brad is inviting Maddi to his and Julia's one-year anniversary celebration. They've got a house on Folly Beach and want to bring the whole gang over. Well, almost everyone.

Emmy overhears the invitation (she's literally right behind them). "What about me?" she asks. Everyone is moving forward, but no one is apologizing to her for last season. She's feeling especially salty considering she helped Brad and Julia get together.
Meanwhile, Michols is trying to get Joe to do more than the bare minimum. Joe admits that he is bored and wants to open his own bar. He added that Leva gave TJ the chance to grow his own business, and now he wants the same.
Welcome back, Mia!

The next day, TJ and Molly meet Mia. She's back from Hawaii and boy, does she have some news. She spills that she and Troy broke up the night before.
Molly and TJ look appropriately shocked. Everyone thought that Mia and Troy were going to get engaged in Hawaii. But instead, the couple decided to part ways.
It turns out, Mia is done with the long-distance. She was hoping Troy would move to Charleston. But Troy said he couldn't give her a timeline for the move. So, after two years with no forward movement, Mia is calling it.
On the heels of the split, it isn't long before TJ brings up that Justin had a crush on Mia. She admits he's hot, and TJ spills that he hit on Molly too. It looks like Justin is essentially trying to bang everyone.
Joe and Leva have a serious discussion about his future

The next day, Joe requests a sit-down with Leva. He is serious about wanting his own spot. He starts off by telling her that he wants to grow and be a business partner.
Leva admitted that previously, she could see herself doing something with Joe. But instead of committing to work, he took time off to follow Maddi on tour. Joe explained that Maddi was in a bad place and really needed him. Leva didn't discount that, but she stood firm that he sacrificed work and just stopped showing up.
Leva has wanted to give Joe equity in a new business for years, but he messed up. She told him that he's not irreplaceable and that Justin was getting the job done in his absence. If Joe wants to get back to the place he was at before, he needs to recommit and prove her wrong.
Brad and Julia's Folly anniversary theme: Squash the Beef

Which brings us to Folly Beach and Brad and Julia's one-year anniversary. Everyone is heading to the house, including Emmy! Brad invited her at the last minute on Julia's advice. He thinks it's time to hash out what happened. But only if she apologizes for her "unsafe" comments.
So the gang arrives. It's all going well until Maddi attempts to give Mia a hug. Mia is not having it and says, "You're not going to step on me this time?"
The two argue heatedly. Mia continues to say she wasn't in the group chat. She repeats it over and over. Only for her to realize that yes, she was in the group chat after all. Oops!
In the end, Maddi and Mia decide to squash the beef. They laughed and said that should be the theme of the event.
Things are looking good … until the inevitable sit-down with Emmy. It's all going down in the next episode, including another epic panic attack and walkout.
Southern Hospitality airs Thursday nights at 9/8c on Bravo. It streams on Peacock.
