| episode(s)
12-14
The Atlanta wives have never encountered a cultural clash like this. It’s not the sushi or the hentai or even the incredibly efficient subway system. No, as their appointed cultural advisor Aya explains to them at the welcome dinner, being late is a sign of profound disrespect.

Each morning at 11am, Aya paces nervously in front of the van, eyeing the front door of the Tokyo Hilton with a rising sense of panic and worrying that the women will be late for whatever temple tour or geisha performance she has thoughtfully arranged.

To add to the confusion, none of Marlo’s luggage arrives, so she is making do with borrowed clothes and an unsecured wig. These ladies might not be punctual, but they are sensational, as the crowd in a Shinjuku karaoke bar learned when Kandi sang along to her own Xscape hit and dominated the mic.
