She thanks Georgi for being there to support them. Back in Bulgaria, he helped organize a pageant. Then, he started one and says it was the biggest one in his country.

Stacey Silva shows up with flowers and her husband, Florian Sukaj. She’s ready to accept Georgi being there and says “it’s a great first step”. Stacey nags a little and says she hopes he does the right thing. So, Georgi Rusev says in his confessional he’s going to ignore her negative comments and not start drama,

Grandpa Mike Silva is there too. Florian goes with Georgi to get in line for tickets. Darcey tells her dad that she and her boyfriend are trying. She’s still unsure about taking him to Miami. Mike says to make today about Aniko and goes to stand with the guys. Cam-talking, Mike says they can do this another time and focus on the pageant.

When it’s Aniko’s turn to hit the stage in her dress, her mom and aunt lose their minds. Georgi Rusev gives Darcey a big kiss. Now, it’s sportswear competition time. Aniko wears #7 and sports a blue shiny workout outfit. Next is the evening gown segment. Darcey’s daughter is in a flowy white sparkly number that’s incredible.

Georgi has a sweet moment hugging a very excited Stacey and Darcey. Next, his gal pal loses her mind cheering. Then, it’s awards time. Darcey Silva’s nervous for her and is proud. She hopes she won’t be knocked down if she doesn’t win. The pageant gives Aniko the Most Photogenic award. She’s thrilled she won this and calls it a “big booster”.

Brittany the pageant coach is there too for this moment. And there are hugs all around. Darcey says it’s a “beautiful feeling” to see her on the stage.

Stacey Silva’s Geography Fail

Back at the apartment, Stacey Silva helps Florian pack for the trip to Florida. He refuses the shirts she tries to hand him. He says “no, no, no”. Tonight, they’re heading to Debbie’s bar to celebrate with Reina. The night has a Miami theme. Florian says “Nah, I don’t like”. She wants to play a game before they go.

Stacey says pop quiz and asks him what state Miami’s in — he gets it right. She asks how many states in the US, but Florian doesn’t know. Stacey gets it wrong and says 51. The producer asks her if she’s sure. Turns out, she thinks Puerto Rico is a state. Wow… Stacey says her mom, dad, Georgi Rusev, and her twin will all be there.

She says everyone’s had enough with Darcey’s up and down relationships. She doesn’t want a fight. Darcey drives Georgi to the party, and she hopes her friends don’t mind him coming along. She’s excited but a little anxious at her friends’ possible reactions. As seen on the last Darcey & Stacey, Reina and Debbie walked away from her annoyed.

Darcey & Stacey Party with Debbie, Reina, and the Family

Georgi Rusev chats outside with her dad Mikel. He wants to reassure him that he’s there for Darcey. He starts with the weather. Then, Georgi says they have ups and downs and are in counseling. Mike asks if it helped. Georgi says it helps their communication.

Mike says they both equally need to put effort and offers a plant and seed metaphor. He tells the cameras that what Darcey wants to happen with Georgi might not develop. Then, her dad tells Darcey’s boyfriend that he should try and bond with her girls. He says his last wife didn’t like Darcey & Stacey. Mike says that’s a problem.

He thinks if Georgi doesn’t bond with Aspen and Aniko Bollok, the future isn’t bright. At the backyard party, Debbie tells the cameras that they walked out. Reina reminds us that they didn’t like what happened but are ready to celebrate the rest. Darcey apologizes to them and says she’s working hard on things with her boyfriend.

Reina says it’s “same sh*t different day”. Then, Darcey Silva tells them she brought Georgi. They tell her that’s her decision and share some cocktails. Mike heads out back with Georgi. He hugs her friends. Then, Stacey shows up with their mother, Nancy Silva. They start up some party games for fun. They get Georgi involved too.

Georgi Wins over the Friends and the Twins Get Cheugy

Reina says she likes him as a person. And says she loves Darcey. But says things change with them more often than people change underwear. Then they talk about Miami Swim Week and the twins thank everyone for the support. Reina wants to see the runway walk they do at the finale of the show.

Stacey Silva says at their New York fashion show, she wobbled and fell over. Darcey & Stacey demonstrate their peppy walk holding hands. They call it inspiring and powerful. They want to make sure there’s swag. Then they start singing and Aspen rolls her eyes. They talk about recording Doing it Big.

They’ll walk down the runway at the fashion show to that song. Then they start doing Lock Your Number. In their cam talk, Aniko calls it “cheugy” as in not out of style and not trendy. Aspen says it’s something cringey. Darcey’s happy for all their friends to see they’ve changed and all the love.

Dad Mike Silva Wants Darcey & Stacey to Stop Wasting Money

Stacey comes to the house to see Darcey who’s packing. Mike is putting the house up for sale as part of his retirement plan. It turns out that they all lived in the same house when both were married and having kids back in the day. Mike shows up and asks if they’re ready for Miami.

The theme of their swimwear show is 11/11 manifest your dreams. They talk some nonsense and Mike wants to talk specifics. He asks about the budget. He reminds them he spent a lot of money years ago with unfocused efforts. When they first went to LA, he worried and says they spent too much too fast while there.

Their dad tells them he won’t contribute as he did before. Stacey says their dad was their angel investor and they went overboard. They did luxury cars and apartments in California and say they know better. He tells Darcey she can’t let her relationship distract her with drama. She promises it won’t.

Mike says in his cam talk that he’s not happy Georgi Rusev’s going to Miami. He says it could mess up the show. He tells them again not to waste money.

Florian Sukaj Waxes his Wife – Gets jealous Over DJ

Later, at their apartment, Florian waxes Stacey’s legs. She says he grooms her, fixes her lashes, can spray tan her. He says, “every salon looking for me”. She talks about wearing bikinis in Miami. He says don’t go over the top. She says he’s old school and doesn’t like her showing skin.

Stacey says she didn’t get snatched to hide her body at home. Florian Sukaj says he’s happy she is confident with her body and trusts her. But he doesn’t like people thinking they can have more of her. She mentions a friend, Michael Benz, will be at the show. He’s a DJ and designer.

Stacey says they collabed with him in the past. He’s irritated and says he’s never heard of this Mike before. He says he wants to be with her 24/7 and doesn’t want her meeting with him without her. Stacey calls him out for jealousy. She says in Miami, he needs to understand being surrounded by hot men and women and not be jealous.

Darcey Packs with Georgi – He’s Got to step up

Darcey packs while chatting with Georgi. She’s excited to see him bond with her girls. She has one suitcase just of sunglasses. He pulls out some black frames and imitates Superman.

She thinks Miami will be good for them since they met there. They fell for each other there and she calls it “a beautiful time”. They reminisce about their first date. She dances and acts a little weird and he says “you scare me”. Her girls bring their luggage down and are ready to go.

Mike Silva tells them to have a good time and hugs his granddaughters. He says he’s not sure he’ll miss Darcey then laughs and hugs her too. He asks if he has to hug Georgi and they say no. Georgi says Aspen has her dad and grandpa as does Aniko. So, it makes it harder for him to be involved. He plans to work on it this trip.

He says if it doesn’t go right, things with Darcey are at risk. Georgi’s stuck in a middle seat across the aisle while Dacey sets with her girls on the flight. It looks like they flew in the cheap seats at the back of the plane. They arrive at Miami International Airport excited. They pile into the car and head out.

Darcey & Stacey Hit Miami and Get Hosed by Georgi

Stacey asks Florian what he thinks of Miami. He says they have palm trees in Albania too. He makes a face. Darcey’s butt is stuck to the leather seat of the rental car. They’re staying at a huge house with a pool and the teens run screaming in excitement. Darcey talks about getting frisky in the big closet.

They all run to the tiny pool in the backyard. Stacey talks about how puffy they get when they fly. She’s got cankles and needs to soak her feet. Georgi rolls up her jeans so she can get in the water. He’s being really sweet. He says he’s putting in an effort to get along with her.

He turns on the hose to cool the water and it splatters all the ladies. But Stacey says so far so good with him. Darcey’s happy they’re all getting along. But she worries the show will fail and ruin House of 11. And, she doesn’t want her girls to see that.

Next time, they all go out on a boating trip. Aniko and Aspen corner Georgi Rusev and ask if he’s in it for love or money. Stacey gets ready to go meet Mike for a meeting and is in a dress with a plunging neckline. Florian doesn’t like it and says she’s going “to make daddy mad”. She and Darcey go meet the guy and he wants to meet their guys.
