Love & Marriage: Huntsville Returns With a ‘Hell No!’ as Divorce and Frenemies Loom (Exclusive)

Love & Marriage: Huntsville is back and the tea is hotter than ever!

In PEOPLE’s exclusive first look into the second half of the reality show’s eighth season, OWN fans’ favorite players return to rehash the drama. Viewers will see the return of  Melody Rodgers, Martell Holt, Maurice and Kimmi Scott, Marsau and LaTisha Scott, Stormi Steele and her husband Courtney Beasley, community pillars Chris and Nell Fletcher as well as Destiny Payton.

New members Tricia Reedus and her partner Ken Lee, and Sunni and Moses will also be featured in the season.

According to the season’s official logline, the season will begin with a girls’ trip to St. Thomas and proves that some friendships may be thicker than water but their rifts can run deeper.

“Destiny confronts Melody about the breakdown of their friendship yet remains hopeful about mending their long-standing bond,” the synopsis reads. “Then, tensions rise as Destiny and Sunni clash with Destiny accusing Sunni of betrayal. Later in the season, Tricia finally meets with her husband, Marques, to discuss divorce.”

Despite this, the Fletchers will alleviate some tension and celebrate their 30th wedding anniversary with a vow renewal ceremony, “but not before throwing their bachelor and bachelorette parties!”

In the trailer, Sunni reveals what should be happy news: she and her man are “going through IVF right now” in hopes of having children. However, for Destiny, Sunni’s now frenemy and her partner’s ex, the news is awkward and complicated.

“My friends ask Sunni about having children with my ex. That’s a hard conversation to have in front of someone,” Destiny admits to the ladies over dinner.

As the scene transitions, the group reacts to Maurice’s DUI arrest and declares, “I’m hanging out with some convicts!”

Kimmi then seemingly confronts Maurice about his incident and when she claims she “can’t help what I don’t know,” he carefully replies, “I don’t really know if you can help me.”

The drama doesn’t end for Destiny. Elsewhere in the trailer, she confronts Melody over rumors that she’s been hooking up with Martell.

“I ain’t messing around with Martell,” she says as the conversation grows heated. “And you know it. If you don’t know, I’m telling you. Hell no!”
