One common thing about Bravo's "Shahs Of Sunset" is that no storyline gets finished before another compelling drama begins.
Just as heads were exploding over the dividing line between conflicting bachelor parties, viewers are still waiting to see who will spill the beans about Golnesa "GG" Gharachedaghi's Turkish secret about Mike Shouhed.
Gharachedaghi told the group that while it's all fine and dandy that pal Shouhed is finally getting ready to propose to girlfriend Jessica Parido, Shouhed may not be totally done with his playboy ways.
Shouhed has bought the ring and his parents approve of his purchase -- as well as girlfriend Parido. Shouhed has revealed that he may even pop the question during a skydive. But tensions are building as the "Shahs" think Shouhed is pulling away from the group and doesn't attend as many parties and events.
How does Gharachedaghi know that Shouhed is not ready for the biggest commitment of his life? She confided to the group that during the trip to Turkey last season that Asa Soltan Rahmati arranged as a bonding trip, there was some hanky panky initiated by Shouhed, as reported by the International Business Times. Gharachedaghi says she declined Shouhed's advances, but it could have been trouble otherwise.
While the friends made a pact and even toasted their vow of silence on the matter, hints are dropping and it remains to be seen who will be the one to tell Shouhed or his fiance the explosive news.
Meanwhile, for Reza Farahan and Adam Neely, there is a lot of emotional mileage to cover with parents and other relatives, as Neely's Oklahoma-dwelling parents come to visit.
A surprisingly loving encounter between the parents yields some long-desired emotions from Neely's father, who admits he may not have said the words "I love you," because it just wasn't his style. In Bravo clips. Farahan and Neely celebrate the visit, and Neely finds acceptance, and those special words from his father, for which he has yearned.
But of course the episode can't go off without a fight, this time between friends of Gharachedaghi, who brag about their tattoos -- put in places they can't show on TV -- and Asifa Mirza's boyfriend Bobby Panahi. After threats on both sides and guys being held back from fighting, threats of "ripping out veneers" and jackets coming off, everyone sits down to eat.
At this point, in her first task as the newly named maid of honor for Farahan's wedding to Neely, Javid took it upon herself to tell the group there would be two bachelor parties and people had better decide which they would attend.
While so far there has not been a hint to a resolution to the warring bachelor parties, Soltan Rahmati said she considered Mercedes "MJ" Javid's decision to separate the group "tacky."
"Even for MJ that was a new low," Soltan Rahmati writes in her Bravo blog. "Why make this joyous occasion of our two best friends uniting in marriage into a negative experience of exclusion and rivalry?"
But Javid may feel karma hit, as the group gives her new romantic interest the third degree.
"Shahs of Sunset" can be seen on Bravo TV, Monday at 9 p.m. ET
