While some friendships are finally in motion after stalled starts on Racing Wives<\/a><\/em>, Episode 4 has proven that others have topped out, and might be reaching an eventual finish line.<\/p>\n

After an *incredibly* awkward moment at a Pocono industry event in which Mariel rejected Whitney\u2019s invitation to model for Samantha\u2019s clothing line, BFFs Mariel and Whitney continued to come apart at the seams. While Whitney was intent on finding inclusion among Charlotte\u2019s established racing wives, Mariel continued to feel slighted by the group. Tensions came to a boil at a group dinner where Mariel refused to let Whitney sit next to her.<\/p>\n

\u201cI don\u2019t know what\u2019s going on with Mariel, but we\u2019ve had more disagreements in the past few weeks than we\u2019ve had in our whole friendship, and I just don\u2019t get it,\u201d Whitney said.<\/p>\n

Whitney, out of options and without her closest friend to lean on, sought advice from Ashley over lunch. While Ashley and Whitney didn\u2019t necessarily get off on the right foot (who could forget that disastrous dinner?!), Ashley said she\u2019d grown fond of Whitney, and that she hoped Mariel would eventually wise up.<\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019m sure she\u2019ll come back around and understand where you\u2019re coming from too,\u201d Ashley said.<\/p>\n

Elsewhere in town, Amber \u2014 who\u2019d had a rough few weeks \u2014 finally got some good news. While she was devastated to learn that her football-playing boyfriend Jordan wouldn\u2019t be moving to North Carolina as originally planned to live with her (Jordan was recruited by a team at the eleventh hour), a fortuitous phone call gave Amber the shot in the arm she desperately needed.<\/p>\n

After a bummer of a FaceTime in which Jordan told Amber he wouldn\u2019t be able to see her for a month, Amber\u2019s doorbell rang, revealing \u2014 to her total shock \u2014 Jordan, in the flesh. Amber had been convinced that Jordan\u2019s career might eventually spell the end of their relationship, but suddenly, things seemed hopeful again.<\/p>\n

\u201cI feel like I\u2019m in a dream right now,\u201d she said. \u201cThis is crazy. I don\u2019t even know how Jordan pulled this off.\u201d<\/p>\n

Still, Jordan only had two days before he had to return to Canada for training camp, and, as far as Amber was concerned, the time flew by. Once again, toward the end of Jordan\u2019s visit, she was unsure how they\u2019d proceed, especially since Jordan only had a total of two weeks off across the coming six months.<\/p>\n

Whitney, too, was struggling to see a future for one of her most important relationships. She remained adamant about trying to convince Mariel to appear in Sam\u2019s Shop Murph photoshoot, but her efforts proved to be in vain, and finally, Whitney was forced to show up to Sam\u2019s shoot alone.<\/p>\n

Sam, who was intent on correcting her relationship with Whitney, decided not to let Mariel\u2019s absence sully the day, though, and stepped in to appear in a handful of buddy-buddy photos with Whit, one of which implied that the two had become best friends.<\/p>\n

And when Mariel got wind of the photos (damn, social media works fast\u2026), she\u2026wasn\u2019t happy.<\/p>\n

\u201cThis is like the icing on the cake,\u201d Mariel lamented. Even the process of scouting potential wedding venues with her hubby-to-be, Paul, seemed tainted by the falling out.<\/p>\n

\u201cWhit is a part of this dream, she\u2019s a part of this vision,\u201d Mariel said, noticeably depressed.<\/p>\n

In more heartwarming news, and after an exhaustive search, Sam finally landed on a couple whom she, Kyle and their Bundle of Joy charity could sponsor through the often expensive process of IVF. Sam and Kyle \u2014 who, themselves, had a son by means of IVF \u2014 started the organization years earlier to help couples with the huge expense of medical treatments.<\/p>\n

And Sam spared no expense surprising the couple with the good news. She arranged a special get-together at the couple\u2019s favorite brewery, and knew when she saw the warm reception that she and Bundle of Joy had made the right choice.<\/p>\n

Sam wasn\u2019t prepared to pinch pennies, either, when it came to Amber\u2019s driving prospects. Now that she and Amber \u2014 who started off on the wrong foot \u2014 were finally on the same page about Amber\u2019s future as a driver for KBM, Sam got down to business trying to secure Amber a spot in an upcoming race at Hickory Motor Speedway. The cost of a single race can be close to $100,000, and Sam said that if Amber intended to nail down the necessary funds, she had to start hitting the pavement.<\/p>\n

Still, for now, Amber and Sam are finding more roadblocks than thruways \u2014 will they be able to get Amber on the road? Stay tuned for a new episode of Racing Wives<\/em> Friday at 10\/9c on CMT!<\/p>\n
