Welcome to the recap for Next Gen NYC<\/strong><\/a> Episode 5. Last week, Charlie made amends with Riley and Ava, and it was for real this time. Hopefully. Charlie also introduced his dad, Anwar, to the group. He was worried about his dad judging his friends, but Anwar just wanted to know what Charlie\u2019s career plans were once he turned 30. And Charlie\u2019s response was crickets. Meanwhile, Ava got her judgment on<\/a> when she wondered how Ariana could be a designer when she didn\u2019t give fashion. Let the fashion feud commence! Here\u2019s exactly what went down in Next Gen NYC Episode 5: \u201cZero Bucks Given.\u201d<\/p>\n

What happened in Next Gen NYC Episode 5?<\/p>\n

Charlie continued to decimate his friendships one by one. And this time, the lucky winner was Georgia. He had lent her some speakers, which she returned several days late. The horror! This apparently warranted some atrocious insults towards her. Word also got out that Charlie pretty much owed everyone in the group money. Meanwhile, Brooks thought his job was in jeopardy with his mom. But really she just gave him a time-out. Riley\u2019s mom also paid her a visit and warned her she only had a short time left to figure out her next move<\/a>.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Meredith fired Brooks \u2026 sort of<\/p>\n

Unsurprisingly, nothing was resolved between Ava and Adriana regarding Ava criticizing her fashion. Ava added insult to injury when she told Ariana she would expect Georgia to have a fashion line over her because she had a point of view. Gia said, \u201cSo, you\u2019re basically saying she has no style.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n

Ava didn\u2019t appreciate Gia jumping in<\/a> and asked her to stop putting her finger in her face. Gia responded, \u201cThis is how I talk. We\u2019re Italian. If you\u2019re not used to it, get over it.\u201d Thankfully, there were no tables nearby to flip. Ava then told Adriana, \u201cSorry I hit an insecurity.\u201d This war wasn\u2019t ending anytime soon.<\/p>\n

The next day, Georgia met up with her business partner, Dani. Georgia explained, \u201cOne thing that\u2019s different about Gen Z is I don\u2019t think anyone wants to work for someone else.\u201d Um, who does? The two were prepping for their next event, and that was for Real Housewives of Salt Lake City<\/a> star Meredith Marks<\/a>.\u00a0<\/p>\n

And Meredith needed an outfit for her upcoming caviar party. Luckily, Brooks was up to the challenge. He shared he styled his mom before (the feather era \u2026 shudder) but was not responsible for the infamous crystal face mask. Now that was giving fashion. After they settled on an Alaska chic number, Brooks brought up that Meredith had fired him the previous week.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Brooks apparently had missed an email, which resulted in a shipping delay for Meredith\u2019s denim line. So, she sent Brooks a text explaining why he needed to \u201cfind a new job by the end of this month.\u201d While Meredith reassured him she didn\u2019t mean it, the text had given Brooks anxiety. He didn\u2019t want to feel like a disappointment to his mom. Ah, the joys of working for your parents.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Georgia\u2019s not ready to say the \u201cL\u201d word<\/p>\n

The fashion feud with Ava came back up when Riley paid Ariana and Hudson a visit. Riley spilled the tea that Ava\u2019s mom picked out her outfits. She said, \u201cI was surprised that she had something to say about you, cause if your mom picks out your outfits, then you can\u2019t really, like, talk down on someone else.\u201d Her mom must love a good Forever 21 sparkly short.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Later on, Ava met up with Charlie at her dad\u2019s latest business venture, a restaurant called Slutty Vegan. Sounds like a great place to bring the family. While Ava lamented she didn\u2019t know which of her dad\u2019s ideas were real or not, Charlie wasn\u2019t paying attention. He was too busy texting Georgia to get his speakers back.<\/p>\n

Ava wondered if he and Georgia were still besties or not. Charlie gave no reason as to why things were \u201cweird.\u201d Instead, he made fun of when Georgia stayed with him. He said, \u201cGeorgia was homeless, living on my couch, eating my scraps.\u201d He really is a friend to no one.<\/p>\n

However, Georgia seemed to be doing just fine<\/a>. She met up with her boyfriend, Omar, for dinner. Georgia explained there was a little hiccup with Meredith\u2019s event when she found out the venue was closed down. Oop. But she hustled and got a new one.\u00a0<\/p>\n

After her story, Omar blurted out, \u201cI love you!\u201d Georgia called BS. He had only known her for two months and told another girl the same thing after one day. She admitted she had trust issues from when her dad led a secret life. Even with her concerns, Omar wasn\u2019t planning on going anywhere. And neither was she.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Riley and Ariana are BFFs<\/p>\n

Despite the last minute of it all, Georgia pulled off Meredith\u2019s party without a hitch. And they didn\u2019t need security either. The only issue was Ava showed up the last five minutes because \u2026 rain. Emira said, \u201cThere is a sense of entitlement. Give it a rest.\u201d<\/p>\n

Charlie then made his rounds, asking everyone to chip in for a table at The Box. The question was, would he pay his share<\/a>? As everyone left, Shai stopped by to say thank you to Meredith and Seth Marks<\/a> for inviting him. Seth, per usual, was extra and asked Shai if he would date Charlie if he was a girl. Shai smartly hightailed it and ran.\u00a0<\/p>\n

The next day, Riley met up with her mom, Real Housewives of Atlanta<\/a> alum Kandi Burruss<\/a>, and her step-dad, Todd Tucker<\/a>. Kandi reminded her she had six months to figure out what her next steps were. She remained hopeful law school was in her daughter\u2019s future. Unfortunately, Riley wanted to be \u2026 dun dun duuun \u2026 a DJ. Kandi rolled her eyes. #Momlife<\/p>\n

Ariana popped in to say hello and informed Kandi that Riley was her new bestie. It was a cute moment, and Kandi was thrilled. Riley then brought up that Charlie was mad at her. She had kicked him out from their table at the club because he and his friends drank everything and didn\u2019t pay. When she told her mom the bill was $14,000, Kandi sighed. Riley shrugged her shoulders \u2026 inflation?<\/p>\n

Meanwhile, Charlie told Dylan that Riley didn\u2019t want him to pay. Sure, Jan. He then moped about having to find a career since he was turning 30. Dylan was annoyed but just wanted him to find a sense of purpose. However, it seemed Charlie would rather complain than make any changes.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Was Charlie grifting the group?<\/p>\n

The group met up for dinner minus Ava and Charlie, and the vibe was nice. Then the topic of Charlie came up and how he would promise to pay everyone back but never did. Hudson said Dylan had spilled the tea that Charlie owed him $4,000. This concerned Georgia. She noted that he never acted this way<\/a> until recently.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Next up was a montage of everyone hard at work. Ariana and Brooks preached NYC was the place to be to figure out your life in your 20s. Brooks added, \u201cOtherwise, like, it\u2019s too late.\u201d Everyone knows your life is over when you turn 30. Just ask Charlie.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Any concern Georgia had for Charlie went out the window when she met him for lunch. Things quickly went left when Charlie wouldn\u2019t let go that Georgia returned his speakers late. When Georgia called his behavior \u201cabsurd,\u201d he punched back, \u201cYou\u2019re a stupid delusional b*tch.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n

Georgia held her own and called him a POS that got $10,000 a month from his dad. Charlie then pulled the ole \u201cIt\u2019s my show\u201d card and said she wouldn\u2019t be here if it weren\u2019t for him. She countered he was almost 30 and was a joke. Charlie quipped, \u201cIf you were a man, I\u2019d slap you in the face right now.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n

Still, Georgia didn\u2019t back down. She said, \u201cI pay my own rent. If you didn\u2019t have daddy\u2019s money you\u2019d be on the street tomorrow.\u201d Charlie did his usual MO by running away, and ruining yet another friendship.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Next Gen NYC<\/a> continues Tuesdays at 9\/8c on Bravo and streams on Hayu in the UK and Ireland.<\/p>\n
