There is one thing we know Heather loves to do and that is to host a party! She is meeting up with the lady she has all her cakes made by. Heather has made a new Sparkling Wine and is having a party for the launch of it in Napa and wants to have a cake to look like the bottle. Because it’s a cake she is going to have to take it up on their private plane flight that way it doesn’t melt!
So we jump back in with Shannon and David’s therapy trip. OC has a divorce rate of about 70% and Shannon refuses to join them. They start their next exercise which is for them to each write an eulogy for their funeral that they want their spouse to read. It is supposed to express their feeling on how they want their loved one to remember them. David is up and as he is reading Shannon’s words he begins to break down crying. Shannon feels this is a good thing cause David is not a crier. But once Shannon is up she is a bit let down by how short David’s was. Next up was for them to list two things about the other that they did to them. David says 1 was hurting their daughters and 2 caused Shannon pain by the cheating. Shannon begins and first was not respecting him but starts to cry. She is upset thinking about it all cause their oldest daughter found out about the affair by reading texts on his phone. David really worries that Shannon will never forgive him. The therapist reassure them that this can take two years for them to truly move on. They both say they will do whatever they can to get over it and move on. Shannon truly feels she has forgiven David after this retreat. Once home they sit their daughters down and David one by one apologizes to each one. It was a touching moment and hopefully this story has a happy ending.
We have couple little filler scenes. One with Tamara and Heather at lunch chatting about the Napa trip. Tamara is really worried to go cause she has not resolved anything with Lizzy or Vicki. Heather assures her it will all be okay and to not worry about it. Meghan and Jim go shopping for some new furniture since everything in their house is from Jim’s last marriage. We then jump over to Tamara and Eddie hanging out when randomly she receives a call from Vicki. Tamara really feels everything has changed between them since Brooks has come into the picture. While on the phone they speak of Brooks cancer and Eddie says “Bullshit”. Vicki is still in Mexico but wanted to call to invite them to a Mexico theme party at her place. They both agree though to be nice to each other at the party and Tamara takes this all as a good sign.
Party time! Lizzie and Christina are the first to arrive and might I say they were looking amazing as always. Lizzie says that she is worried to see Tamara since last time they spoke it wasn’t the best. Next up was Tamara and Eddie to arrive. Brooks opens the door and of course confessional comment from Tamara is of Brooks “is sure making himself at home.” While all mingling Tamara says it is a bit weird talking to Vicki after months of not. Heather and Terry are bringing a whole party with them. On the party bus ride over we have Katie /Josh Hamilton and Meghan/Jim Edmonds. Shannon and David arrive and right away we see that she has not forgiven Tamara. She wont even look at her! Another past cast member pops up and its Jeana. She is looking amazing having lost some weight and we find out that her and Tamara have made amends! Heather and her crew arrive! Vicki remembers meeting Katie and Meghan at Heather’s Hoe Down party last year. Right away we are seeing who the new ladies are clicking with. Tamara takes right away to both Katie and Meghan. Blondes gotta stick together! Meghan walks over to introduce herself to Shannon in person since she already met David at Heather’s party last year. Shannon didn’t seem impressed.
Everyone is seated now for dinner and Vicki has Brooks give a toast since he is the man of the house now. He begins by thanking everyone for coming and blesses the food. Heather is loving seeing them so happy and not hiding their relationship anymore. While everyone is conversations at the table we see Katie and Shannon bonding over Church and their upbringings being similar. Then there is Tamara who throws it out there that Lizzie loves anal. (inside joke) Meghan loves it and they all laugh and seem to be getting along great. Meghan loves it and jokes wanting to hear more. After dinner Vicki had gotten a piñata. The ladies all take turns swinging at it in their heels but it was Meghan who must learned a few tricks from her husband destroys it! Vicki now wants the ladies to do one of her annual shots rituals. Shannon is not happy seeing Vicki and Tamara holding hands and tells Lizzie here we go again. Shannon is worried the roller coaster is setting up again. The ladies all line up and take their shots while laughing and joking together. It’s always calm before the storm though. Tamara tells Heather how nice is way to laugh and joke around with Lizzie but was real shocked by Shannon being so stand offish. Vicki and Tamara finally have a sit down to discuss what went wrong. They quickly begin to go tick for tack with each other on how they hurt each other. Vicki tells her simply to shut her mouth to the other women about her man. Tamara tells her she is worried they will never move forward if Vicki can’t let go of the past. Tamara apologizes and they hug. Vicki tells us that she just isn’t ready to give up on their friendship. All in all they both agree to move on.
How long will this truce with Vicki and Tamara last? How is Meghan and Katie going to fit in with the other ladies?
