When they arrive at Wedding Cake Mansion, the women are greeted by a number of cherub busts and an owner who informs them the place is haunted. After a scramble to divvy up some truly charming rooms, amateur mortician Phaedra spots a hearse giving a haunted Savannah tour and flags the driver, Peg Leg Ron, down to admire his wares.
Somehow Peg Leg Ron is not the most memorable moment of this trip, because he is easily topped by Porsha Williams, granddaughter of civil rights hero Hosea Williams, revealing that she believes the Underground Railroad to be an actual train.
