After a two week hiatus to get our donks in shape for the new year and practice wagging our fingers to "Who Gon' Check Me Boo?", The Real Housewives of Atlanta returns tonight having not lost a step.

Peter and Cynthia are heading to counseling for their marital problems, this time seeking the aide of the pastor that married them. If you thought a quick detour like this would soften Peter's notoriously hard head, you're sadly mistaken, as he deflects on telling his wife what he loves about her in favor of heading right to the negative. The fact that they both understand that they need help in their marriage is a great first step, but coming in with a nasty attitude, especially following poor behavior all season, doesn't exactly make it seem like he wants to stay with her.

Elsewhere on The Real Housewives of Atlanta, NeNe and Marlo come together to clear the air about the former's history with the latter's current boo Charles Grant. Even though it's very cordial and adult with not a weave hair out of place, something tells me that two strong personalities like this will be getting into it sooner rather than later, especially since NeNe finds out dirt about Marlo's arrest record. NeNe may have a lot of things going for her, but the ability to keep secrets isn't one of 'em and I expect her to be throwing shade over this in the near future.

If confrontations aren't your thing on The Real Housewives of Atlanta, "Unlikely Duos" looks to showcase Phaedra dragging poor, sweet Apollo along to the funeral home, Sheree helping Kim begin to lose the KJ baby weight, and Kandi's first studio sessions with country singer Jo Dee Messina.

The Real Housewives of Atlanta airs tonight at 9:00 on Bravo. Be sure to brush up on what happened last time by reading what Mark had to say about the (unnecessarily) super-sized episode that featured a subdued reunion between NeNe and Kim.
